Astros Take The Series vs Rockies, Cougars Take Down SFA, Astros vs Angels Tonight

is the Matt Thomas show with Ross. And welcome to a Friday edition, The Matt Thomas Show with Ross. This is Sports Talk 790. Scots in the Scars! Texas offensive line cuts. Practice squad. Let's do it.

What happened? They cut some people. Oh, okay. You're going to have to inform me. No, I'm good. Okay. It's boring a F. I almost swore there.

Why am I swearing a 10-0-4? Relax. I just want to cuss and discuss. that's all we do? Let's get you that vacation. I had a vacation last night. Happy Fright. What does that mean? Got to the game last night. Oh, man.

A big crowd. Uh-oh. I really thought we were going to start with something else. Seriously. First of all, none of y'all showed up at SFA. There may have been like 200 people. I think I saw maybe a one or two sevens, but the rest of them were in the four to five category. And your offense didn't score to 100, you didn't get to 100 yards until the fourth quarter. There it is. America's team

dominated as I thought it would. Last night, 27-the-nothing, this update brought to you by the Joint Chiropractor, the Fisher Chiropractor University of Houston Athletics. Honestly, Jonathan, it could have been 57-0. You too sucks. They broke SFA's back. Yeah.

East Texas tough my ass. Exactly. They let you down, Jonathan. We knew what they were mediocre, but they were. That was absurd. You didn't even watch the game. I did. I turned it off the third quarter at three minutes.

I remember the time just for you. So, Amy, how did you tell your girl we couldn't watch a lifetime movie and then we had to watch the Cougar game instead? Because I had to tell her about all the beef that I've been splitting to you. I'm like, I'm like, I've been talking the most stuff over the last couple months. I can't just not watch this game just in case we win. And then what happened? And then you.

Yeah. It's a valiant effort, I'm sure. Value, oh God. They don't even have a quarterback. I don't even know what the guy was doing back there, man. Vidlock is his name. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. The backup quarterback through the longest pass the day. 40-yard completion, the fourth quarter. And there was there, was there, I saw there was a Cougars running back that got hurt? It was a Cougar running back that didn't even play. Oh, okay. That's going to be gone for the season. Oh, okay.

Yeah. It wasn't the starting running back? Well, it was one of the guys that was a few returning players. Oh, that's good. Let me tell you why college. ball does suck in certain respects. So, and look, I don't look at the roster of the University of Houston. I just got so much other stuff going on.

And frankly, we have to focus on things that actually a lot of people care about. And as much as I love the Cougars, it doesn't necessarily move the needle for a lot of people. It is what it is. But, and this is probably going to happen when you're watching the Saturday game, when you were with your beloved Longhorns, 90% of the guys I had never heard of. The roster fluctuation in all of college football, whether it's 1A, whether it's 1A, whether it's Power 5, whether it's group of 5, whether it's the team you care about or the team you don't, you just don't recognize anybody. There's no way we can attach names to our schools because they're always moving around. Yeah, the transfer portal certainly makes it a lot more difficult.

It's harder to keep up on. I used to be, like when I was in school, I was all in on recruiting, like on forums and checking out who this guy was visiting and that guy was visiting and stuff like that, but certainly have gotten more out of touch with it. I know some of the big names and stuff like that, but especially in these days with the transfer portal

and everybody coming from everywhere, you're like, oh yeah, that guy transfers from there. Oh, yeah, that guy transferred from there. And where is he from? I don't remember. It's confusing. I mean, as a play-by-play guy, I would be confused because now you're not talking,

Just about weight or from high school. You talked about where he played last. Yeah. No, you, I think wasn't there a play-by-play guy we interviewed or talked to? And he was like, I have a rule. He only talks about the last school they've been to because some of them been to like three or four. Right. He's like, he's been to four schools.

We can't name them all, brother. We got to go. We have to move on. There's a kid that's a tight end for the University of Houston named Tanner Kosiel. He had 39, see it, 39, what did he finish with? 63 yards and seven catches. I want you to see him. and you will.

He looks like a pro player. Uh-huh. He was at Ball State, catching everything. Okay. And I'm sure Ball State treated him well. Wasn't like he wasn't getting an opportunity to play there. He went to the portal and got better. Now, remember, the portal can also be cruel in the other direction for you, too.

Mm-hmm. But it's just crazy that this is a brand-new cat who had barely been on campus. I mean, I'm going to assume he's been in class a handful of days. It's been at 20 fall practices. And now he's the leading. target for, oh, by the way, a few, four of her Texas A damn quarterback.

Yeah, you love the portal now, Matt. Now you're getting Connor Wegman. Well, I mean, he was good yesterday. I think there's a room to improve, but I thought it was pretty good yesterday. He can run. He can run. I'm just worried about, you know,

because he was so hurt so many times last year that is that the smart thing to do, you know, to run as much as he did. But he's very, very, I'm not going to put him in the same arch main category in terms of running because I think Arch is an elite runner. but these are guys that can move a little bit.

And if your offensive line is make shift and trying to go through the development of whatnot and trying to learn who you are and play with each other against other teams. Yeah, it was a scrimmage last night. I mean, Jonathan, it was a scrimmage. It was, I've seen more competitive red-white games than I've seen what I saw last night.

You know, I can't even say nothing against it. You can. You can. Your quarterback was jogging, just chilling there. Like, he was just having a fun practice. I don't think he had a drop of sweat at the end of the day. I mean, Jonathan, I've never seen a quarterback leave the game directly after the game without taking a shower. And that's what Connor Wreckman did.

He's like, I don't need to, I don't need a shower. Go home. And poor SFA D-Line, they were doing everything they could just for them to do a little mid-post. Oh, first down. And all the flags. Oh, my. It's very frustrated with this SFAJ. No, one of the guy that called yesterday said, I'm not going on the game.

He's going to go find some rando high school game instead. It probably would have been more competitive. All right. Now, line two says Gil's calling from Houston, and it just says complain. He's going to complain about the U of H game. Oh! Apparently he couldn't watch it. Oh, well, let's find out.

What do you can watch it? I forgot he was on ESPN Plus 2. I was on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU. I was like, oh, yeah, it's on ESPN Plus. It was like the 15th most important game last night. It's true. On the ESPN networks. Can we talk to Gil real quick?

Sure. Sure, let's hear what Gil has to say. I just like when it says complain. Hi, Gil. What's the matter with you, Gil? What can I do for you? Well, yesterday, the Astro started early. Yes.

I hope a full day set up. I'm going to watch the Astro kicks him butt, and I'll watch you away kicks a butt. And we were going to the channels. I'm not the favorite establishment, have a few beers. Mm-hmm. And we could not find the doggone game. We're like, what?

And then we started looking it up like ESPN Plus, right? Plus, yeah. Yeah, I mean, I don't know bars, they have to pay a lot more money to get stuff like that, but that's ridiculous. I mean, how are you going to get your fan base if you can't even watch a dog all game in Houston, Texas? Well, I mean, unfortunately, Gil, there's only so many channels, and when there are so many games on a particular night, some games get bumped over to ESPN Plus, plus is an internet. Boise State, Florida, South Florida, was a bigger game. We got a clip for that. They kept looking at what they're on.

We have to be on. Nope. No, you were on. The game was broadcast. It was on. I have some bad news for you, Gill. And Matt's not going to say this, but I will. Houston is not big time football. I'm sorry. I'm going to say it's big time. I'm going to say it's big time football. It's not big time football. So, I mean, literally Boise State, South Florida.

Yeah, oh, in 1989? Whatever. I'm old, so I remember those good old days. Yeah, I know. when they're breaking NCAA rules and getting infractions and yeah if I slam a gem in 1983 those were good times

you damn right get him Gil don't he have enough money to let Houston residents watch the doggone game why would Tim and Furtita have any of do with that he can't call the TV networks in demand they carry the games yeah East Carolina NC State was a bigger game

Rutgers Ohio was a bigger game I just this is ESPN saying this not me I'm sorry. No, Gil, here's the reality. We were playing a community college. I mean, come on. Oh, oh. I mean, seriously.

We still want to see him win. Well, yeah, then you know what? You could have watched it on your phone. No, I was at an establishment, a bunch of us were ready to watch it. Were there polls at this establishment? No, anyway. Was Destiny on the stage or what? Come on now, Gil.

I would be calling you, a Mercedes on the stage. No. Okay. That feels fair. I got my money to work. Thank you very. Gil, have a guy. You're watching a different show. No, I mean, the reality is if you are, I can't believe my favorite team is not on over-the-air television, you better get used to it because there's more and more. You better learn how to get a game on Peacock. You better learn how to get a game on Paramount Plus. And I'm not talking just about college football. I'm talking about the NBA, major league baseball. Hell, the Astros has been on Apple more times than Ted Lassau. Ted Lassau, there you go.

I'm here to help. Thank you. Ted Lassel filming. I'm a little hesitant. It's going to be a good season because they took so long to figure out their comeback. Yeah. They must have a wallet with them. They said they weren't going to do it.

And now they're in Kansas City this year. They're done playing in England. They're playing in Kansas City. A sporting Casey or something? Whatever. Like the MLS team? I don't. Who knows?

I'm not overly enthusiastic. about this. I like Ted Lassau, actually. All right. It isn't, as you just heard, and anything goes Friday here on the show. Look, many of you took today off because it normally takes me two and a half hours to drive here and a guy here in about 48 minutes. I was pretty happy about that. It's a four-day weekend for many. But we're working. Yes. So if you're at home, just chilling, relaxing, call the show. It's anything goes Friday. We give you the longest leash in the business typically Monday through Thursday. That leash is even longer today. Even poor Gill, who went to a bar last night.

Now, Big City Wings had the game on. Oh, that's good. ESPN. I mean, it's not hard for these bars to put plus games on it. It's just not. I think normally the streaming cert, like when you have a business account, it shows up on like Merik MeVee. It's like an extra channel, but you have to have like a business account.

Oh, nice. Okay. Well, then, yeah. So, you know what? Remotefew.combs could have been there to help you out. Yeah. Well, publicly trade company. Not an important game.

I get it. I mean, we basically play. a sophomore team. I mean, I don't I mean, I don't know what else to tell you. I mean, it could have been, it could have been 57 than nothing. We could, we could have made it worse. I don't think so. You don't know, you don't watch the game. I had it on.

Okay, I didn't watch it, but I had it on. It's on TV 2. It was on TV 1. Nebraska and Cincinnati? That was a good game. Yeah. By the way, Taylor Swift showing up with a game. I mean, was Taylor Swift showing up in Nebraska

Cincinnati game on your bingo board card? It was not, but it was supposed to be a quote unquote neutral. site. It was a Nebraska home game. Nebraska's like three hours from Kansas City. Are you kidding me? Yeah, it was supposed to be

neutral sight. It was basically sounded like a Nebraska home game. Yeah. That's trying to be a pretty good game though. I listen to the way home. All right.

Anything goes Friday, which will include I'm sorry, he's at 1130 today. People got to apologize for things. Lord knows Ross, you probably did some things in the road this week. You got to apologize for it.

Let me think. And Dark. And ESPN owes Lee Corso and apology. I saw your tweet. We'll tell you about how we come back. Ted 16 on Sports Talk 790. All right, Andy Goes Friday here on the show.

We've got Astro's victory to talk about. I think we have to stop slandering someone that has been slandered a lot by the Astro fan base this year. I'll tease that for the next segment. We have to stop slandering, somebody who's been slandered a lot. Alex Centron? People don't even know who Alex Centron is, so stop. Yes, they do. No, they just call them the bad and coach.

Astros' Twitter they do. That's true. And funny, I don't know why he gets more hate than Troy Snicker. Because they don't know. I just feel like, I don't know. It's weird. It doesn't, they're equal opportunity offenders, apparently. My computer's not working. Matt's having technical difficulties. Okay. So this morning, I perused the worldwide social media platform known as X in front office sports, which is a pretty good file, actually.

They do a variety of different things, but they're not giving you X's and O's or giving you off the beaten path kind of stuff. Yes. There is a video that says, look at how cute this is. Lee Corso is at Orlando Airport, and he's getting a special introduction by the... Good afternoon, folks. Welcome to me bored, Dark Breast Airlines. Flight 1575, non-stop's jet service to Columbus. Those of you in aisles in the boarding group A1 through 30, you can go through the far left lane, 31 through 60, that then we'll go on to B1 through 30

and of course if you're in military we want to invite you and welcome you aboard any time I know who that guy is you are you are the biggest airplane and airport expert that was a perfect spiel man thank you and I'm a travel hole that's a useless skill but it's

very good at it does I mean think about the two things I know most about are game shows and airports that's great so I'm thinking okay this is cool that Corso and he's got somebody with him.

Maybe it's a son, maybe it's a relative, maybe it's somebody that travels with him. Whatever. I mean, he's 90 years old. He's not traveling by himself. I would think not. He could get lost. And he's going on this big spiel. And I'm thinking, why is Lee Corso flying

dark breast airlines? They have a sign seating now. They can get in the extra room, extra leg room. Hey, he doesn't know where he is anyways. You might as well sit on dark breast airlines. that's horrific of you to say that it's very much true but it doesn't mean i want you to say it publicly it's like taking your kids to disney world when they're three if they're not going to remember it what's the point so the travel horror that i am i thought to myself well all right why would someone fly dark breast

to columbus and i figure okay maybe it's because there's a non-stop flight between orlando and Columbus most times if you want to fly between orlando and columbus you got to change planes somewhere, whether it's Chicago, Atlanta. You don't need him changing planes. You want it to be as quick as possible. And I don't know, maybe, maybe Lee loves dark breasts because of the great

flick and flyer service. I don't know if he's necessarily worried about his points. Yeah, maybe he's getting his points in expensing it. Well, I mean, I'm sure that even if company pays for you, you're still getting the points. Yeah, so I'm saying. So I, uh, there were two options on nonstop flights. You look this up.

Duh. You're, I, I mean, I don't mean this in a mean way at all. No, you please say it. No, this is incredible. Yeah. This is a very interesting behavior by you. But not surprising. So he had two options.

Dark breast. Okay. Or merit. Ooh. We don't need Lee Corso getting in beefs on Mirate Airlines. Which the, and I went to look at the comments because I wanted to see if the comments were matching what I was thinking. And 80% of it. then I'm going, damn, fly the guy

on a private plane. This is his last ever broadcast on ESPN, and you can't fly him. They fly Herb Street and his dog on the private plane. His dog's in the co-captain's chair. The dog

gets better treatment than Lee Corso does. It's terrible. Disney's annual revenue last year, $91.36 billion get him a private plane it's his now again if you don't if you don't do it every week i understand that but i'm guessing it's his last week for the love of god a bc espn disney you aren't in orlando you're telling me that orlando walt disney executives don't have a

hangar at orlando airport absolutely they do i was like are you lee freaking corso is flying dark breast to columbus and he has to find his own seat. I mean, give me a break. He's in like 23C. That's funny. And now do you think because of this backlash, he'll be on a private plan on the way home?

No question. I say yes, right? Got a feeling. I mean, my computer's not working. I'm trying to get it to work. Oh, that's fine. My point is, can you go read the comments? Go look at front office sports.

Oh, look at your, well, you tweeted it, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So look at that. And tell me I'm not wrong. At SportsMT. Thank you. Oh, 713212-1-2-5-7-9. Okay, so read some of the comments.

Let's see. Shout out to ESPN for having 90-year-old Lee Corso waiting to board a Southwest flight with the rest of the poor. Like he is in a piece of their trillion-dollar history. Crazy they make him fly Southwest. They aren't flying in private. I knew ESPN was cheap, but damn. Kirk Sherp Street flies over the place with his dogs

and he couldn't pick Lee up for his last game. Does Stephen A. Smith fly darkbreast? Oh, hell no, he doesn't. ESPN, WTF, are you doing? This legend deserves a G6 to Columbus. Yeah. They do the wheel, you know, that wheels up as a company that does private planes. They bring in the celebrity pickers on the private plane.

You can't send Lee Corso on a private plane for his last ever broadcast? Oh, man. It's terrible. This is elder abuse. You know, I'm going to tweet at Kirk Herb Street. Okay, you should. Well, you know who's buds with him. Who?

Sean Salsbury. Sean's, with Kirk or with Lee? With Kirk. Okay. I just, so again, my, my recount on this was he had, you got three choices. Well, he got ex-mult, he can go change of planes. Yes. And fly first class.

Mm-hmm. On Schmited or, I mean, on, yeah, shmided or. Does he not have first class? Barracken. Who does? Merit, I think, does have first class. For real? Yeah, I mean, I think the seat does

actually recline one inch. And apparently, a flight attendant will not hit you across the face. It's just a hit because of a two-piece and a biscuit. I'm not talking about chicken. First class, I'm married as the flat-tent gets to sit on your lap. And you can do what you want.

Lee Corso's blasting Benny Goodman on a speaker getting fights on Spirit Airlines. All right, I'm sorry. I'm done. No, I'm tweeting at Kirkcorp. I've never tweeted a Curfell. I've never tweeted at Kirk Curship in my life. I think it's fantastic.

Okay. You've won the great broadcasters of the last 30 years. Yeah, the recent facelift he has looks good. He does look young for his age. Yeah. He's got a good surgeon. It's happening. All right, let's go to the phones.

Stephen in the Heights says how terrible U.H is. I like this one. Yeah, what was the old attendants last night, by the way? 40,000? I saw a kickoff picture. Look like there must have been a big traffic jam on Sky. There was an overflow crowd of 40,000 there at least. Oh, at least I can go to the Big 12 tab.

That's cool. Are we going to fill the place up for Colorado? Maybe. I mean, is Colorado going to travel for a Friday night game? I wonder if Colorado fans even traveled, do they? Ooh, 28-150. No, no, no. That was only in the first quarter.

Got the 40,000 449 by the end of the game. Big time, as I said, folks, not big time football. I'm sorry. I mean, I hate to be the bear of bad news. Well, we're going to win the Big 12 this year. It would be big time football. That would be huge. Winning cures everything.

That's how you fill up the stadium. Yeah. And we haven't had winning football in quite some time, frankly. I mean, honestly, since Tom Herman was there, serving up burnt hot dogs. By the way, Harnie Garner's leaving SNL after eight years. Who? I'm kind of sad about the Heidi Garner. I got a little thing for her.

You do? She's cute and funny. SNL making more cash changes. What's up with that? I don't know. All right. And Keenan Thompson's still there. God, he is.

He's been there since season one. there with Belushi and with Akron and Chevy Chase and Gildner Redd. I didn't know that. You'd know that long. 713-212-5-790. 7-1-3-21-2-5-7. I'm going to tweet at Kirkland. Will he get Lee a flight,

a charter flight back home? 7-1-3-2-1-2-5-7-9. Anything goes Friday continues. We've got the asteros to discuss. We have the super big college football game tomorrow. This is Ohio State. Man, I don't have a dog in a fight, but I cannot wait to be in front of my television.

Woo! You excited? I actually want Texas to win. Why? Because I don't, I think, I think Ohio State's even more arrogant than you guys are. Really? Oh, yeah. Wow.

That's saying something. And the arrogant power rankings? It's got to be Ohio State won, Texas 2, and Syracuse 3. I see you taking shots. Tell me I'm wrong. You're wrong. Texas is very humble. Oh my God.

No chance. No chance of that whatsoever. I'm just hoping for a good game. There you go. I'm glad you had that. No, I'm hoping the Texas wins, of course. I'm honestly, when a bunch of public money always goes out of Texas. I swear.

What do you want private money going on Texas? Yeah, I would rather just sharp to be on Texas. Absolutely. But there was a big bet made on Texas, and the line is shrunk to now one and a half most places. Some places, the Longhorns are favored. I think it was a Circa, they're favored by one now. Two-point shift off a $550,000 bet. That's what I love about Circa is they'll take anybody's bet, just about.

They're known as the people that will take big bets that other books aren't willing to do. I want to know what that. Derek Stevens likes to take risks. I'm not familiar who that is, but that's a different issue for different time. All right, so just put that in perspective. Somebody is walking in this country. And I'm sure there are thousands of people that can do this. That said, I'm going to go to Ruka and I'm going to spend $550,000 on a single bet.

Yes. $550 to win $500. I mean, that's, is that Americana right there? Or is that, hey, man, you got to get your money, be better spent elsewhere. It probably better spent elsewhere. But, I mean, it is what it is. It's fun. You win the lottery or you win all that kind of money and you can do whatever you want.

Well, my guess is that all the casinos can take those deals because there's so much money that can be spent on this first weekend of college football. It may be on that game in particular that. I mean, it's going to hurt Merca, but it's not going to kill them. Yeah, they're not going to close their doors. No. All right, 713, 21, 2, 5, 7.9. I still owe you a player that maybe we need to back off on when it comes to our criticism.

Ooh. And I've got a few numbers that might just back that up. Look at you. You said Mike. The number's guy. Let's talk to Stephen in the Heights. Our time is 1038. It is anything goes Friday at 713-213-2-5-790.

Steven, good morning. Hey, Matt. Hey, Ross. I got to say, U of A should have won by way more. Yes. They're not going to win the big 12. The third and fourth, their third-rate program,

SFA is a fourth-rate program. Arizona State is going to win the whole thing. Sam Levitt is going to be top five for Heisman, and we got cheated out of the national championship game last year because we lost Texas because the refs cheated us. We should have beaten them, and then in the semis and then advanced to the finals and won at all. We would have been national champions. B of H has the not as good of a journalism program as Arizona State.

Oh, that's ridiculous. Go Devils. Yeah, man. First of all, Stephen, you ain't got scatibus, you ain't got scatibus, you ain't got a scat a chance to win the big 12. Okay, that's number one. Jordan Tyson. Number two, there isn't an easier school in the country to get into than Arizona State.

And you know that for a fact and you know I'm not lying here. Okay, but Ash Chancellor Johnson, the new, you know, you saw his Twitter, he's working with the Big 12 now. And number three. And number three, your school have 14,000 people at the game when they play the Cougars coming up in a few weeks. your school doesn't care. You think my school doesn't care about my program.

Nobody cares about Arizona State. We sold out our first game of the season, did y'all? Yes, we did. Yes, we did. No, we sold it completely sold out. 28,000. Your squad's going to do what normally Arizona State does. Go 7 and 5 and go to some West Coast bowl game that nobody cares about.

We went to the playoffs last year. Where was your team? On the cusp? On the cusp. On the cusp. of making a bowl game. Or winning a national championship. All right.

Uh-huh. Yeah. You know what? Blue Devil, let me tell you some Sun Devil fan. I know who this guy is on Twitter with us too. Okay. First of all, seriously, every one of my kids was going to get a full ride of Arizona State.

And my kids didn't even take the SAT. They're like, just come. We don't care. Don't be hating on the Cronkite School of Journalism? It is actually very nice. I love Arizona State. First of all, the once around, What's it once around, Matt?

When you walk around the campus once around? Drive-bys. Is this true? What? I just looked up the acceptance rate. Tell the audience because it's absolutely true. 90.2%? Yeah.

I would put Arizona State's academic, shall we say, reputation on the long of lines of, I don't know, Tyler Jr. College. Wow. I mean, I would think Western Kentucky. and SFA would be harder to get into than Arizona State. Wow. 90.2%. They're like, yeah, come on.

We don't care. That's crazy. Good for them. It seems like a nice school. It's a big camp. It's got a boatload of students, by the way. And they are... I'm sure James Hardin enjoyed the campus.

Let me put it this way. They have any anti-SFA when it comes to girls. Ouch. I mean, there's some thoroughbreds in Tempe. I'm just going to say. I've got nothing to say. I never been You

A matter of fact I'm going to the Arizona State game Oh you are Yeah I'm gonna go on the road On the road yeah Why? I'll be on the broadcast team that game So

Oh you will? Yeah You're doing the game No I'm gonna do the pregame Show and all spats I'll do stats and spots for a rush Yeah But I'm leaving the day of the game

A flying there Going there and then flying them With the team in the way back So That's great Quick overnight or two Phoenix Or not overnight or over day or a day trip Wait you don't

You don't even spend a night there Oh That's well I'm sure you'll enjoy it for a few hours. I will definitely enjoy it for a few hours, especially after the Cougars scat-a-moot. How many times is Esh going to have to elbow you in the ribs, you're spotting with binoculars in the stands rather than on the field?

I'll be scatabooting the crowd. That's what I'll be doing. Oh, boy. Let's go to Steve at 1043 on 7-90. Hello, Steve. Hey, good morning. You guys were talking about sports betting the Texas-O-Hio State game, And so the line was a point and a half.

Is that right? It was three and then it moved to, depending on the book, it was one and a half some places. And then at Circa, it's up to, because of a big bet, Texas favored by one. By one. Okay. Now, the big bet was, so if I'm the guy who puts up a half million dollars and I'm going to say, okay, in Texas wins, what do I get back? $500,000. You get it all back.

So you bet $5 million. $550,000 and you win, you get your money, you get your bet back plus $500,000. If it's a minus $110 bet, which I'm guessing it was. It makes sense that he would bet $5.50 to win $500. Okay, so I'm almost doubling my money. Right. All right. So that would be, gosh.

All you need is the Longhorns win and you get half a million bucks. Well, all you need is then just to win. will you need them to win by two, right? Yeah. No, no. I believe since he moved the line, he probably got in with the Texas Longhorns as an underdog. Yeah, it depends on where you get the bet in,

whether you're getting a point or getting up a point. Yeah, it's not like horse betting where the lines move and you have to be at whatever the line is. It's whatever you get in at the time, that's what your bet is. Okay, all right. Yeah. And one more, but one more betting question, or actually it's gambling, and I'll be the hang up and listen, guys.

because I can't offer any commentary. But Matt, when you go to Lake Charles, and you were so angry at the woman with the blue hair. Yes. Yeah, it was actually more purplish. No, it was brown, and it was a very obvious wig, but she was a sweet old lady. She was an old hag or I hope had a stroke.

Oh, my God. But here's what I don't, what I'm not understanding. I'll be again hang up and listen guys you're depending upon other people on in the table to play the hand correctly or you lose money is that it no you can still play the hand correctly and still lose yeah it doesn't actually mathematically matt it does not affect you wins or loses somebody else can play wrong you play against the dealer everybody else plays against the dealer now what it does though is there's one uh well one set of decks that they are dealing from so it affects the order of the cards.

So if I should stay Pat and I take a 10 and Matt needed a 10, I took his 10. You're just playing the odds about how the cards are distributed. And so, you know, again, the game of Blackjack is either to get to 21 or have the dealer bust or you have a higher hand than the dealer. You've got one of three options to play the game. It depends on how the hand plays out as how you play the hand. So when the dealer has a what they call a bus card, and I don't mean to get all elementary in your blackjack here,

but thank you for calling. And it's anything goes friday because people do ask about it. We'll talk blackjack for four hours, man. You know, let's go. There are typical bus cards, two through six, meaning no matter what the dealer has in the hide card, the card in the hole, he's got a hit again because the dealer has to hit until the dealer gets to 17.

So the dealer has a four, and then underneath he's got a 10, it's 14. the odds are that maybe there's a significant chance of that dealer busting with the next card coming up being an 8 to 9 or a 10. So it's right that you'd rather have the dealer bust and you win and win on a hand of a 13 as compared to you trying to get closer to 21 and you bust it because you had the hand of 14 or 15 that gives you a chance of busting. And again, I'm getting all convoluted here. But the point being is there's just a follow. There's a set of rules. You're trying to play the odds as best as you can.

And that dumb hag did not do so. She lost her bat. I lost my bet because the card you would have won, yeah. I would have won on the car that she took and we all lost. So again, I want her to have a stroke and not be able to speak. Oh, my God. And he food out of a blend to the rest of her life. But Matt always forgets when it helps him, which is rare.

It does happen. Like I said, it does happen. It's just as likely to help is hurt mathematically. I don't believe that. I think Blackjack Karma says. Try google.com. Try kiss my ass.com. you know what the hell you're talking about with probabilities.net.

That's, I'll accept that. She's like, oh, I'm sorry. Matt, she was very sweet. Listen here, Bernice. I'm going to take your false teeth and throw them down there. Your name was Brenda. Whatever. I'm just kidding.

I don't know. Dumb bitch. 1048. Oh my God. 1048. It's a bad Thomas show with Ross. 713. 212.5.790.

I'm not bitter, though. 713-212-5-790 where Ross is going to tell you about how you can take your information on college and pro football and make some good money. Yeah, I'll do that in a minute. Back in a minute. 1048 on 7-90.

1053 on the Matt Thomas show, Ross, and anything goes Friday. All right, so Christian Walker's last three seasons in Arizona. His OPS was 804, 830, and 803. Pretty good. Really, really, really good. While playing gold glove first base each of those seasons. Home run numbers 36, 33, and 26. So declining every year.

He had two yesterday that helped the Astros beat the hated, and I mean despised Colorado Rockies. Yes. He's got 21 now. It's got a month left to go. So he's behind El Tuve, who's got the team lead at 22, right? Yep. 21?

His OPS has gone up. significantly higher in the last 45 days and it was certainly for the first four months. I'm going to say that when the dust settles, now obviously he's got to continue his upward track here. He won't be what he was last year.

But we're going to be probably closer to what we thought he should have been to begin with as compared to oh my God, all this guy does is slug. He's heating up at the right time and he was freshly shaven and hit two home runs. So I think he was looking to change something up and it worked.

Speaking of freshly shaving. That's five in the last week, fellas. Why are you so loud? Why are you yelling at us? You usually yells only here. Thank you, Jonathan. It's okay. John, that your levels are, you went to SFFA. What do we expect? Oh, my God. Come you off guard, man. Come you out of guard. Hey, Gordy. Hi, Gordy. How are you?

I'm excited, man. I'm going to the Astros game tonight. Ready to see him get a win tonight with Christian Javier and start getting ready for the postseason. We've got postseason Christian Walker here going. See, I told you, did you hear what I just said, that maybe the numbers are going to be pretty,

are going to be a lot closer to what we thought he was going to be as compared to everybody wanting to release him after the first two weeks, calling him basically Christian Walker Abraeu? I mean, that felt a little personal, right? Well, you all do remember two years ago? Remember Abraeu actually, he started hitting a little bit in the playoffs. As bad as Jose Abraeu was, he had some hits. And so if

Christian Walker can give you that, look, we'll forget about all the 230 batting season throughout the regular season. If he hits, you know, gets, heats up in September and October, we'll forget all that. Last 60 games, he's hitting 263 OPS of 799 12 home runs. That's like, for the last 60 games, he's been what you thought you were getting. Yep, that is for sure. Hey, I got a question for you football because you're our SEC insider. Well, really, it's more Cole Thompson, but we've got you instead. Auburn Baylor, what's your gut to tell you about that matchup coming up here?

I've been asked about that game all week. I put it at 50-50. I mean, I didn't go either way. I talked to our Big 12 guy earlier this week. He thinks Baylor's going to win big. I talked to a couple of Auburn guys. They think Auburn wins by three touchdowns. So it's literally a game where anything can happen.

I'll tell you this, Auburn has more talent. I mean, they went and got that Cam Coleman was a stud freshman for them last year. I think he's going to end up being one of the best wide receivers when it's all said and done. they went and got Eric Singleton, the best wide receiver in the ACC last year from Georgia Tech. They got weapons everywhere. They get Jackson Arnold, who was a five-star recruit at Oklahoma, underachieve last year. But now he's got an offensive friendly coach in Hugh Freeze. Like, I just, to me, I look on paper and go, Auburn is the better team.

But you got to go out there and prove it tonight. I mean, look, I know that the dedicated. high school football fan hates the fact there's college football on Friday, but this is, I mean, you got Auburn, Colorado, Auburn Baylor, and Georgia Tech, Colorado. I mean, that's a way to sit down and enjoy a nice Friday night of college football, especially opening

week at number one. And go ahead. I was just going to say one thing to also watch for tonight, if Auburn is running the football, when Baylor brings in some rotating defensive linemen, watch for number 93. One D.K. Kaloo

Could get it there tonight from Baylor. D. Kalu in the house. Well, ND can be there, right? He's got to be there. Probably. We should call him. Okay. Can we have him on the air or not? What's the rule about him? I don't know.

Ask our programmer. Gordy, what do you think? Can we call them or no? I think that's an ND question. No, okay. All right. So we got Astros this weekend. We got college football. Who do you like in Texas, Ohio State? Gosh, I've gone back and forth all week. I've said, Texas. I think Texas, I'm going to stick with them.

But Ross is right. It's when everybody and their brothers all over Texas, God, it makes me want to bet Ohio State. Exactly. It doesn't make me feel great. After watching the U of H game last night, are we a 10-win team this year? Yes or no? I thought Connor Wegman did some nice things. That offensive line has got to,

they got to make some adjustments to get right, but defense look pretty good. I get it's SFA, but that's a six-win team. That's what you're going bowling. Oh, baby. We're going bowling. of sports RV. You can go with us? Where to Mobile?

Maybe go to Alabama to the Alamo Bowl. We'll get them in the Rossville or the Rial section. That's true. Although last time I got there, I got super sick that dump is an Alamodome. All right. This is the Matt Thomas show With Ross.

First hour of the show, Blackjack Stories, hoping old ladies have strokes. Texas versus Ohio State. My Cougars destroying Something called Stephen F. Austin. I mean, God, no wonder if SFA didn't want to go to the game. No wonder, Jonathan wanted. Said, I'd rather be home with you giving your girl a little foot massage.

I get it. And she wants them for too long. Yeah. Really? How long does she want? How long does he have her massage with her? It's like like a 15-minute massage, man. Like, you know?

Your hands start cramping up. Yeah, exactly. I can't add, no brakes. Do you use Juergens? Excuse me? Baby oil? Baby oil? I like that we got him.

using our excuse me no I just go straight into it like I'm a straight masseuse you know I know the points so you don't use any sort of lotion or or nothing or apple butter anything like that apple butter I ain't think about apple butter cocoa butter

cocoa butter maybe some apple four you know almond butter a little what is that what's the stuff that you put on when you burn yourself alavera cortisone ala alavera you have a little alvara on there all right just got very moist heat I wonder what I

Yeah, what are you doing, Matt? You got Alibari, this we do with your size? Yeah, do you clip the toenails too? God forbid. Matt, you're a better man for me if you do that, man. I do not. All right, I'm over to this. All right.

We mentioned Christian Walker. It's weekend Friday. It's Labor Day weekend. I don't know how many people are listening. It could be about 15. It could be 15,000. If you are listening, I would appreciate you following me at SportsRV on Instagram. I'm trying to put more content up there.

I just recently posted my review of Interstellar Barbecue in Austin, Texas. I looked at it and I'm like, oh my God, there's another great brisket there. It sounds fantastic. It was great brisket. Actually, I had one negative note about the brisket. You can find it on my Instagram at Sports RV. Yeah, I work with a brisket snob. It is what it is.

I mean, I'm fine with it. I've been to five of the top 10 Texas top 50 joints now. I've got to mark off the rest of the list. I got four years. What's the furthest from here? I think Evie Mays is in like, it's like near Lubbock or something like that. Will you go all the way there for that?

It's in Wolforth. Where's Wolfth, Texas? I don't know if I will. Then you're really not, you're not the barbecue savant. You think you are. I didn't say, I never claimed myself to be a salon.

You just dropped the, I just went to five of the top ten barbecue restaurants. That's the fact. Ooh, is eight hours away. Yeah, it's outside of Lubbock. So you can go. How about you of H-Place Texas Tech sometime and we'll go there the night before my treat okay that's now i'm going now i don't have to wait in line

do i'll wait in line for you that'd be good you know what i actually had a uh i meant to bring this up on the show i'm glad you said this it triggered my memory so in these places you get into line early for example i got into a line at interstellar barbecue at 10 o'clock and i was probably about 10th in line that's not bad and i was probably eating about 1115 1120 but anyways one person in front of us i was 10th in line, but all their buddies showed up, and I was 14th in line. Chat and cut. They were holding a spot. So what's the etiquette there?

If you have, is there a limit? Because I get it if your friends can't make it on time and you want to hold a spot in line and they want to come join you. But it's also like, hey, if we put in the time and we've been in there, we've been waiting. Because some places you go to like Franklin Barbecue, there are people in line at like six in the morning. Well, well, well, to be fair about this.

and we're going back to sports because people are here for the show in sports. We went to Mooth, you, me, and Connor. Yes. And you were there first. Yes. And me and me and Ron are Rehaven,

who used to work with us here. Yeah. Both y'all were late. Well, we were late. And we jumped into your spot. Exactly. I'm not saying it's wrong. That's what I'm saying. What's the etiquette?

Is it limit five? Is it? You could, some people could say limit zero. Yeah. But the problem is if you're eating, if you're getting there, and I can just order to go. And I got to go.

go 50 spots behind you. We're not going to eat the same time. Nobody wants to have dinner at the different times. Or also, I can just order for you. So it doesn't really cost any time. If you just text me what, if you guys didn't show up by the time I was in line, I would have just ordered whatever you wanted. So it really doesn't cost you time. That's right. Okay. So, yeah, I would say we got to be very careful with that. Limit five. No. Limit four. Drop two. Limit two. Wife and one kid. Somebody pulled up with four people right in front of us. So did you snicker? No, I was like, should I be even? Matt or is this fine?

I just didn't know. You just scrunched your nose is what you did. Yeah, that's fine. All right, it is 11.08 here on Sports Talk 790. Matt and Ross with you on anything goes Friday. Astros have a series with the halos beginning tonight. Must win series? I think at this point in the other all must win series.

Okay, good. Yeah. Now, would you like to go in three out of four? Absolutely. You know, it's funny because, was it Cole, I think it was with us on? No, it was on Tuesday. They asked me to predict the 10-game homestand. I originally said 7 and 3, and I'm like, well, you know, we're not, the Astros aren't playing 700 ball.

No, they're not. So I put 6 and 4. Uh-huh. And they're 2 and 1 so far, so they're on pacing that way for 6 and 4. I don't want them to go 6 and 4. And Mariners have the Guardians. But they did play while the Mariners were off, so the Astros have a two-game lead in the division. Cleveland and Seattle played tonight in Cleveland.

Astros are home for the Angels and the Astros have the home field advantage, clearly, and they had the lesser of the two opponents. This should be a weekend where they... Put it this way, Rossi, will we be disappointed if they don't have a bigger than two-game lead by the time we get back here on Tuesday? I will say slightly disappointed. Yes. I think it's fair.

Yeah, and if it's less than two, we're going to be... We're going to do it so hot. Wiggin out. All right. So it's Javier, Erigetti, and Hunter Brown. Oh, you've got to win two out of three. And then maybe Lance McCuller's on Monday. Maybe.

Maybe. Or he's in the bully this weekend. We'll see. I'm telling you. And the more that I thought about this, Well, that was a soft pedal, right? By Joe basically saying, well, we're going to put you in the bullpen, but we might need you on Monday.

I think they know they have to be delicate. They do have to be delicate. Absolutely 100%. I think he's a... Sensitive Sally, too strong of a term? Thoughtful Teresa? He can be sensitive. I mean, this is what it is. By the way, schedule strength remaining?

Seattle 25th, Astros 18th. You know why? Because you've been loaded up on the Rockies and the Angels. Yes. So after this weekend, it's going to be even worse. Well, the next road trip is Texas, who are still hanging around. Yes. Then they go to Atlanta and then Toronto or vice versa on that?

I'd have to go look at it. I think it's Texas, Toronto, and Atlanta in some order on that. But that's not an easy trip. Now, Atlanta sucks. By the way, Kyle Schwabber, four home runs yesterday? Pretty good. 21st ever? That's second time this year?

Yes, because Nick Kurtz did it against the Astros, right? Who? Nick Kurtz. Nick Kurtz. Nick Kurtz. Yeah, that's what I said. Okay, I just want to make sure because I just think it's important to say it slowly. Oh, okay. Yeah, home for New York, then at Texas, at Toronto, at Atlanta.

Nine game, roadie. It's a good road trip, by the way. I want to go see the Braves in that new stadium up there. Arlington. Yeah, Arlington's fine. All right. So, yeah, I would say if the Astros do not improve off their two-game lead, it'll be a little bit of a disappointment. Honestly, seeing everything that's coming up, you need them to get fat and happy against Los Angeles. That's right. All right. The big news yesterday, getting all choked up about it.

I know. I'm fine. The NFL major, major move. So I'm going to walk you through what Michael Irvin said. And then what happened as soon as Michael Irvin said something. And you also owe us in Astros T's. I did it, Christian Walker already. Oh, that was with Gordy. I had tuned out. I have a second tease? No, that's it, never mind.

Okay. 713-212-5-7. Yeah, thank you. I'm getting used to getting back from vacation. Clearly. I'm rusty. 7-13-1-2-5-790. 7-1-2-790.

7-1-2-1-790. The Cowboys shocked the NFL world yesterday. We'll tell you more about that next. So in media today, and it probably happens in a political world, but it certainly happens in sports the world. You are asked to give your analysis on things. And you say, hey, I think this is going to happen,

or here's how I would do things, or here's what I know. And there are some people that just talk out of their ass, and there are some people that you would say, okay, this guy's got connections, sources, he's got a feel for the team. Like, for instance, when I told you that Joe Mixing wasn't going to play, I'm a Texan's insider. It's just a fact.

You are the Texans insider, man. When I told you that Laramie Tonsel was a bad guy, that was an insider note that I gave you. His coach said he's fine. Well, his coach lied to you and he got rid of his ass. I don't know. I trust the coach over you. And then when I told you that Stefan Diggs was on one-year and done, again, Texans insider. Oh, the guy on a one-year contract was one-and-done?

Wow, that's crazy. Great prediction. Well, no, because Stefan Diggs was looking to play for the, the team for the long term. He said as much. So again, you come to me for Texans Insight. When you want to lift your head up in the air and stare at things, you go to other people. Neither here nor there. All right. Lift your head up. So Michael Irvin has been in media ever since he left playing. Now, he's been in some trouble. But he generally speaking has always had a platform to do something.

And he, I guess it was a, he's a barstool sports guy now. He is. So you would think if Barnes Steel Sports is going to have somebody on to talk about the Dallas Cowboys. You'd go to a guy that playing for the Dallas Cowboys. Hall of Famer. Still's connected with the team. Talks about them quite frequently. I think Michael Irvin still lives in the Dallas area. So here was Michael Irvin yesterday. I don't know, give her take about 1.30 or 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

I'm Shepter reporting that the Cowboys are now listening to trade offers for Michael Parsons. What's your reaction to that? Michael Parsons, you're going to report all you want. There's no way they're allowing Michael Parsons to go anywhere. All of it. All of this is part of the

negotiations. And as I talked to Jerry the other day on my podcast and he was talking about it the other day when he tried to make that offer and said somebody told him to shove it up his rear and all of that. Honestly, it blew my mind.

It blew my mind that any kind of conversation like that would be going on in a situation like this. Michael Parsons, I want him to take control of this thing and say, I don't care about you too and whatever you all got going. Get your butts in a room and get my money on that paper. That's what you need

to be doing. So I'm hoping that's what gets done. But I guarantee you, Michael Parsons is not going anywhere. Jerry's not that crazy. This is all what we call just negotiation stuff. All right. Well, shortly after that is put on the air, Micah Parsons gets treated

of the Green Bay Packers. Who feels worse? Michael Irvin for being so wrong or the network that said, you know what, we're going to put Michael Irvin on to be our insider. I mean, sometimes things just have to be so, that's what makes it such a huge story, because it is crazy. Like, you know it's a possibility and you talk about it.

Like, there's no way. There's no way that will trade away Micah freaking Parsons, one of the best edge rushers in football on a team that is looking to challenge the Eagles for the division and NFC supremacy and playing them in week one. a week from now. Crazy. Yeah, there are Green Bayne Dallas playing,

was it week four of the NFL season on the Sunday night game of the week or whatever? Is that right? Yeah, I just met the season starting with the season starting in a week. So this is a little information that we'd like to educate our audience. Unless you know, literally from the horse's mouth, that something is never going to happen, don't ever go on a television show and say something is,

never going to happen. If Michael Irvin was told by Jerry Jones via phone call or a text, I am never trading Micah Parsons, then I would go on Raw Rule Sports and say that. But nothing in life is ever an absolute. I don't think Jerry Jones wanted to move him. I think Jerry Jones in his mind felt like he got the, he offered him the most money he could have given him. because Jerry, even though he has had issues with signing players, he still pays them. They offer, according to Ian Rappaport, $41 million a year was the final Cowboys offer. Green Bay gave him 47 a year. So the deal was made, Green Bay giving up a couple of first rounds and a starter.

And obviously opinions across the NFL landscape are mixed about this. One, the Dallas Cowboy I'm carrying their water is, well, we weren't a Super Bowl team with him and we're not going to be a Super Bowl team without him. So might as well get the best value can because now there's so many hard feelings between the player and the organization. The logical thought to me is you just made Green Bay a legitimate Super Bowl contender. The NFC is very winnable this year. and if Jordan Love has a good season in that defense, which is obviously significantly better.

I mean, it's not Micah Parsons, one of the most dominant defensive players in very much the prime of his NFL career right now? Yes. I mean, you are trading, you're not trading a little bit past his prime.

You're not trading 31-year-old, been there nine seasons, had been a little bit of injured. We're talking about the excellence of defensive players in Micah Parsons. And you pair him with Rashon Gary, who's very good. They have some,

I mean, it can just elevate the whole team. That's what happened. The Bears' defense got Khalil Mack, and they just went from like a pretty good defense to one of the best in football. So the reality is this. Now, they are getting two first round picks on the Green Bay Packers.

If Green Bay is significantly good and deep in the playoffs, yeah, there's going to be low picks. They're low picks. So. I don't think, I mean, if you're in Dallas, you can fall on your sword and say, there's only so much I can pay. And I can actually get into that kind of conversation.

If I only can offer you this, and I feel comfortable, only giving you this, then I'm going to have to live with you being mad at me. And again, I'm not a great person when it comes to determining whether or not a player is worth $41 million or $47 million. Yeah, I don't know. We're not a capologist. We don't know what the future cap's looking like for the Cowboys. Yeah, but I mean, the reality is, Zecchio Elliott, C.D. Lamb, Dak Prescott, who am I also. I mean, They have paid a lot of people. They have paid a lot of people in the last half dozen years, a lot of money.

And that's what Mike is like. I'm in the prime of my career. This is my first opportunity to get that extension. You did it for a mediocre, Dak Prescott. I'm not mediocre. I'm elite. I'm pro-bowl. I'm all pro.

I need this. And you have David Mulligetta, who is the agent pushing that because David Moligato needs to get all the time. I mean, he's more powerful than Drew Harrison House. He just is now. Yeah. I don't, I can't confirm or deny that statement, but I'm not going to say it crazy. I'm going to confirm it. I'm going to confirm it saying that he is.

Okay. That he was able to get that. I can't imagine Cowboy fan today is going, you know what, Jerry, it was tough, but I get it. Cowboy fan probably today is like, Jesus, how did this get, how did this get this bad? And then Michael Irvin again, how do you miss on that? Literally minutes after you said that, the trade went down. That's what he believed in his heart. I mean.

So now, Mike Lervin. Michael Irvin today is saying, well, there must have been something that have happened that we don't know about that made Jerry change his mind. Because my guess is in Michael's world, I talk to Jerry Jones. He's going to give me the skinny. You know who's really excited about Micah Parsons new contract? Who's really excited about Mikea Parsons? It rhymes with Bill Randerson, Roonier. Now, he's not as good as Micah Parsons. No, but I'm going to think he's thinking, I'm going to be as good as he is. He's hoping he gets close.

this is the beauty of the NFL though. The hard cap league this is why they have the most parity. You have a guy like Michael Parsons and the NBA or baseball he's paid and it's over and they can continue to stack and build their team. Yeah. You got to make hard decisions in the NFL. I love the hard cap. Do you like it hard?

Rather than soft like the NBA, yes. Oh wow. You got double sound effects there. Finger slip, finger slip. By the way, I'll give you a case and point. People ask me will the Rockets trade Jalen Green? Will they trade operant and ching green?

I'm going to tell you, I did not, I never got a Matt. It ain't happening card for any of those guys. No, nor should you have. Oh, those guys aren't the caliber of Michael Parsons. But I'm talking about how you handle your business as a media person. Uh-huh. Well, sometimes we say things are never going to happen. Like what?

What's the last time we said something? Never going to happen. I don't know. Texans will never go to a Super Bowl. Oh, I feel very careful. and Alvarez will never play more than 130 games. I feel pretty good about that too, actually. You're not helping my calls here.

I'm actually feeling good about those. Remember, I will become a Texans fan the moment. The Texans go to the Super Bowl. It's happening not this year, but maybe next. Down the road. Pat Mahomes might retire. Michael in the Woodlands at 1126. Michael, what do you got today?

Hey, man, I just went away on that Micah Trade. I'm probably one of the few cowboy fans you have that listen to the show. You know what? I'm okay with that. Michael, we appreciate you being a listener to the show. We don't care what team you root for. But go ahead, sir. Yeah, man, honestly, I'm one of the cowboy fans. I'm not mad at this trait. I mean, I've watched every game, and he didn't stop Jalen Hertz. He didn't stop, you know, Christian McCaffrey, any legit run game that came through Dallas. He didn't do anything. I was at the Lions game. I watched Montgomery. I watch Gibbs run all over us.

So getting a run stopper in Clark, you know, that's huge. That's great for us. You know, we realized we couldn't pay Micah what he wanted. We have the highest paid QB in the league. You think we're going to have the highest paid defensive player, too? That's crazy. We can't do that. That would cripple the team.

So similar to the Astro's getting rid of Kyle Tucker, we couldn't pay him. We got rid of them. We got two first rounders. You know, maybe we trade those up and we get up in the draft later on. Who knows? That's fair. That's not. This is the NFL.

You know, it's not nothing. But you're hoping one of those first rounders. gets close to the player that Micah Parsons is. That's the thing. I mean, you look at his numbers, man. He was tied at number five for sacks last year at an eight the year before that. You know, those aren't, you know, record-breaking numbers. So you have two pass-writers on every team that's 64, and he's been top ten for two years,

and that's just sack numbers. I think the pressure numbers are in pressure rate is even better than that. He's also was top five. Are you paying him record-breaking money? They paid him a lot of money, yes. So let me ask you this. He hasn't been as good. Let me ask you this, Michael.

So if he would have stopped Jalen Hertz, would you have changed your mind about this and said, oh, he is worth the money? I mean, he said he could stop him by himself. And that's ridiculous. Huh. If he would have stopped Jalen Hertz, if he would have stopped Christian McCassery, any of those guys, different conversation. He probably would have gotten paid. Okay. So let me.

This is one more thing. One more thing. I got to ask you. I got to ask you one more thing. So is this you being cowboy fan going, even if we're against us, and by gosh, good riddens to you? Or would you have been, wow, thank you, Jerry, for signing our guy because even though he hasn't been perfect, no NFL player is,

he's one of the best at his position, he's top three probably in his position, and I'm glad he's one of ours. I mean, are you selectively dogging him? I'm not saying you're dogging. Are you selectively dismissing him because he's not wearing your gear right now? I think we started dismissing him when he started giving up on us when he wasn't showing up to practice or he was just holding the dummy. You know, we're getting live reps and this guy's just holding the dummy.

We're getting ready for the league, man. And he's not playing. He shows up to the preseason game eating nachos laying down. Man, if you show up to any job like that, you're getting fired. So, you know, I think we were kind of dismissing him after that when he gave up on us. I mean, we were looking at yesterday and we're playing a game next week and he hasn't taken a snap. I mean, come on. There is. Thank you for the phone call, my friend.

I appreciate listening. And we are your home for Dallas Cowboys football here in the Houston market. Ross, I'm not saying I'm all the way in on what he just said, but there's a part of me that if you are so disrespectful and so giving off the vibe that maybe you do have to go kick the tire somewhere else. You're going to pay him that's going to hurt the team. And he's shown no inclination of wanting to be here. obviously a lot of resentment.

It can wear on people. It can wear on the organization. It can wear on Jerry Jones. It can wear on the Dallas fan base. I wouldn't have done it. I'd have figured out a way to keep them because, again, these guys are not easy to find, especially as dominance he's been.

But I understand why some could say, you know what, this isn't the worst in the world. And again, you've got an opportunity to take two first round picks, maybe use both, maybe a couple into one, and you've got a run stopper now on this team. Okay. Let's see. ESPN had him third in football

and the pass rush win rate. Pro football focus must do it differently. They have him second behind only Miles Garrett. They rated him as the second best edge rusher in football only behind Miles Garrett. That's ahead of T.J. Watt, Nick Bosa, I mean, Max Crosby, Trey hit ahead of all of those.

So to act like he's just some guy who doesn't show up going by sack numbers is ridiculous. But I think there is, and we're going to get your break. I think there is contract fatigue. that can kick in and I think contract fatigue kicked in very badly. He kicked in for Jerry Jones. I understand

but acting like he wasn't going, he wasn't showing up and he wasn't good enough. I would not use his past history as an indictment. I would say if you wanted to get mad at him, it's because of how this situation has been handled in this offseason. That's huffing on the cope. With that, I mean, that's an name of your new book. Huffing on the cope?

Copium. Okay. As the kids call it. All right. You owe us an apology. I do? No, the city of Houston does. I don't think of something. Jonathan, you owe me a lot of apologies. You owe the city of Houston an apology. You know what? I might give you one. Zero.

No, no, standby. Zero points. I'm going to be one good. Stand by. Stand by. Lots of apologies from our producer, Jonathan Allen. If you want to apologize for something you've said and done this week, 713-212-5-790, 7-13-212-5-790.

7-1-3-2-790. We're looking for some of my sorries, and we owe you owe into the city of Houston. You owe me to yourself, y'am to your neighbors and friends. You owe it to us right here on 790. 7-1-3-2-1-2-5-7-7-9. You've said something really stupid. Call on and say these magical words.

I'm sorry. So sorry. And there have been some foolish things that have been said and done in the world of your life, in the world of sports, in the world of this 10 to 2 radio show. Including me. Really?

Are you actually going to be sorry about something that you're really sorry about? Yeah. All right. I'm skeptical. I want to apologize. Yon Alvarez for thinking he wasn't going to go home run for the Astros this year.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Thank you. See? Nice and simple. Didn't have to overthink it. Mm-hmm. It only took him two games.

And hopefully he hits many more. Got a day off. Should be back in the lineup today. So when I said he wasn't going to hit any home runs, I was wrong and I want to say, Yordon, I'm sorry. Hmm. I think he forgives you. I think he's fine.

How's his hand feeling? It's all right? It's a dope. we? Back in the lineup today? All right, Jonathan, the floor is yours. We'll step back and just listen to this goodness. All right, everybody. You guys don't know

a couple months ago. I saw on the schedule of the NCAA football that my lumber jacks were going to verse the Houston Cougars. And, you know, me being myself and being prideful of it being a jack, I was like, you know what?

I'm tired of Matt picking on me. I'm going to dog his team because we're going to win. We're just going to whip him. Gonna shock the world. Matt didn't take this kindly and it's been a feud in an anticipating feud that ended last night. The score doesn't have to be mentioned.

What was it, Matt? Here's what I, it was real score 27-0-0. Should have been score 54-0. And you know, he's not far from the truth. It was an atrocious game and I, I'm so sorry to even hype this thing up because this team was the most mediocre football team I have ever

watched and I apologize to all the Cougar fans out there. And I just want to say, I'm sorry. I would like for the University of Houston parking department in roads and highways around our campus to apologize to me, it was

a pain in the ass to get to the stadium yesterday. What happened? It was horrific. Terrible. And we've got to get it fixed because we're going to get a real opponent coming in in a couple weeks. Who? Colorado. Oh, okay.

Oh, okay. Got text of tech coming into. Wow. We got big dogs. 790. Join in for I'm sorry. So we're going to, oh, no, he's, your mic's on. Your mic is on.

You apologize. Yeah. He turned it off. He was greeted a phone call. Rossi? What? You have to apologize for a lot of things in life. You know what?

I do want to apologize to this guy. On my Twitter at Sports RV. somebody was talking about how they were unhappy with the Astros winning, which is a ridiculous take. And I quote tweeted it because, I don't know, I've been getting more combative on Twitter lately. It's probably not good for my mental health, but that's okay. And when I quote tweeted him, this was not my intention,

but like five or six people who follow me, like calling this guy an absolute idiot and a moron. And all the, like, I didn't mean for this guy to get named called by random people when I quote tweeted. I just wanted to refute what he said. He was being spoiled about the Astros who are exceeding expectations preseason by win total

and also exceeding expectations with all the injuries that they've had. They're actually not having a bad season, folks. And they're in first place. So there are spoiled fans who are complaining, but I didn't mean for this guy to get attacked by everybody. So for that, I'm sorry. Sorry.

What's that person's name on Twitter? Jason Eliazar. Eliassar. Okay. Is he worthy of a follow? I'm not going to follow him. No. I mean, I appreciate him following me, but he's got some ridiculous. He's got very negative. If you go through his feed, he's very negative about the Astros no matter what. Okay. And some people are just like that. All right. Now we have Paul and Roger on the screen. It says, Paul wants to talk Astros, which we will do that.

Does anybody want to apologize? We have Roger talking about the text. Now, we'll get, Jonathan's now getting people to call in too. So we're looking, this is the apology segment. So Paul and Roger, hang tight. I promise it's anything goes Friday, which means you're getting on the show. There's no if, hands or butts about that. But we're looking for people to apologize. Look, you guys are mean and you ladies are mean. You know, you need to apologize that sweet old lady.

You called her a dumb bee. The same one? Are we still with this? He called her a dumb bee like an hour ago. Matt, Matt, why? That was rude. You need to let go of your grudges, man. Oh, no.

I am. That is Mr. Petty. I am the pettiest person you will ever get to meet. Who's pettier than me? Madam Shantan's close. Oh, that's true. Love you both. And remember,

I will probably blank talk you behind your back via text. Oh, I know. Just saying. Love y'all, but I'm good. Actually, you're immune to this. Everybody else is not, but you're immune. Good for you. Sorry.

I'm sorry for a second. You may sing. It's not good. Nobody's not good radio. So if you want to apologize, 713, 21, 2,5, 790. Brian and Pearline wants to apologize. We'll let him do that. Paul and Roger will get to you.

I think they're legit calls. We don't want to apologize for having them wait. We'll get to them. If you want to say you're sorry about anything you've done this week or said, or if you've been petting anybody, 713-212-790, 7-1-2-790. 7-13-212-5-7-90. It's 1143. It's a Matt Thomas show with Ross.

More of you calling into apologize after I tell you about uptown appliance repair. I think I'm supposed to say I'm sorry. because I don't sigh with Dave Portnoy on the fact he's not welcomed at Ohio State on Saturday. I mean, he brings, he's just a bro, dude, right? He's a founder of Barstool, a big Michigan guy. Yeah. So Faroe State says, no, you're not coming in here with your slander. I don't blame him.

Good for them. He's not a journalist. What is the issue? They don't want to credential him or they don't want to let him? Yeah, they just don't want to, like, no. He's not a judge. Yeah, he's not on the beat. Yeah.

He's a personality, and apparently he's the Pat McAfee for the Fox News Show. By the way, you mentioned the Fox is going to get and the ratings are going to be for their pregame show tomorrow? Zilch? Oh, versus game day? Yeah. Yeah, it's going to be great. I'm going to great. Lee Corso, hellier or not coming up at 150.

That's two hours, Ross. Oh, I think I spelled this wrong. Portnoy. Yeah. I'll winking the strippers up in 10 minutes here on 790. 7.13.21, 2, 5, 790. Brian, what are you apologizing for? I wanted to apologize to Christian Walker for his eighth inning at bat yesterday.

I honestly thought since he had already hit a home run, he would go down swinging on three pitches. And so Christian Walker, you wound up winning the game in the series for it. So Christian Walker, I'm sorry. Yeah. I think it feels like it should be a fair number of people should apologize for Christian Walker. He's having a really good two months. Yes.

he's been everything he could have hoped for for two months. Before that, not so much. You know, the Aster's are paying him for six good months. You know, you take what you can get. At least he's turned it around. Yep. All right.

Last call. For alcohol? No. By the way, you know I'm a travel whore. Yes. I'm glad you said it. There are six flights, seven flights right now, between Austin and Columbus.

Three are private jets. One is the University of Houston, or the University of Texas charter. Okay. There are three Southwest planes full of fans going from Austin to Columbus. Oh, so they're going to brave it. I've talked to some Longhorn fans

who don't want to go there because they've heard it's really bad with the Liosk fans. There are seven flights in air right now between Austin and Columbus. They're probably singing the fight song like Matt Thomas. A little Texas fight.

I did. did. All right. Nobody else won't say, I'm sorry. That's okay. I'm sorry, man. I don't think you're very honest with yourselves. It is the weekend.

Paul and Galveston on 790. Hi, Paul. Paul, wonderful. I have you on the show. I apologize. Oh, Jesus. Paul, you there? I think it's our phones.

Yeah, but he also hung up pretty quick, too. Yeah, I don't know. That was weird. That's a good mix. I apologize for Paul waiting all that time and didn't get his thoughts in. I'm so sorry. Yeah, yeah.

713212. 570. Roger, good morning. Are you doing, guys? Wonderful. Wait, Matt, I thought you were in the valley. I'm in the valley. Yeah, Harlingen.

You pronounce it Harlingen. Oh, geez. It says Arlington on the screen. Well, sorry. It's close enough. That's Jonathan for you there. That was not me. Hey, I apologize for that.

No, you should. That's not your fault. No, your take may be bad. enough to apologize for, but go ahead, Roger. Hey, hey, you know what? This is Cowboy Country where I come from down here. And they're so upset at that team that just got, that traded their, one of their best players.

But I remember when we traded JJ Watt, you know, it was a love and hate relationship with the Texans and stuff like that. And even though we didn't get the best of it, I mean, we moved on and we're a better team for that. Wait, man, wait, wait, well, you said traded, We didn't trade JJ Watt. He left that. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. He left on his own, yeah. Yeah, I'm sorry. We traded a player to the Cardinals for a certain player, correct? That was DeAndo Hopkins, yeah. Yeah. And so everybody was upset because he was a whole, you know, he was a good receiver and everything. But we moved on and we got, you know, it helped us.

No, it did not. No, no, that's exactly. No, Roger, I'm sorry for this terrible call. This is not, you're not telling the truth. The call, the team sucked after. he left. I'm talking about the future. Our future got better.

I mean, no, it's not true. No, they got, you had Easterbee, you had coaches. It got worse.

You got worse. How did they get better? Are you sniffing glue? Seriously, ask me to answer that question. No. No, no, no, sir. Okay.

So then I come back to the realization when we traded Deshaun Watson, right? And I called the show. I called the show. And here's my question to you guys in the long run. Did Deshawn Watson wind up a bust in general?

Or did he not? Because I got a lot of heat that no, Deshaun Watson is going to take Cleveland to the Super Bowl. He's going to do this. Nobody said he's taking them to the Super Bowl, I don't think. No, but I think there were some people. Now, granted, and Roger, we're going to let you go on this. DeAndre Hopkins deal was a disaster.

Horrible. The Sean Watson turned out to be a blessing, not because the compensation coming back. It was the fact that Deshawn Watson has been an utter disaster in Cleveland, largely because he's been not healthy. He hadn't been good on the field, but he really hasn't been healthy.

Yeah. And Michael Parsons is 26 years old, by the way. He's 26. He has not entered his prime. He's not even at his best yet. He's entering his prime. Yeah. And I just retweeted this guy,

Brandon Thorne, who I follow for football. He came up with this rate called true pressure rate. It's about 1v1 pressure. rate, Michael Parsons is the best in football. So everywhere you look, he's either number one or number two behind Miles Garrett and football as far as edge rushers. He's 26. I'm just saying, like...

Well, put it this way. You're supposed to, when you have trade, you want to win your trade, or at the worst case, you want both teams to have the... I feel like they got good value in return. I don't know if Dallas Cowboy fan is going to be beating their chest because they got the Green Bay Packers 28th draft pick next year. You know what I mean?

Yeah. Who beats her chest about anything outside of top five now? If you take those two... Yeah, exactly. You would use those two to trade up to try to get somebody as good as Michael Parsons. That's, I mean... Or Arch? Ooh, okay.

If Arch is coming out. Would Arch's grandfather say no to the Dallas Cowboys? I don't think Archie is orchestrating where Arch Manning is going. No, he told Uncle Eli where to go. Yes, he did. Arch is coming back. I would say unless they win it all. Well, how about if he's the number one pick?

I think he could still come back, yeah. See, I, if you told me he's got a ton of money. If you told me he was going to be the third quarterback drafted, I could buy that. I think if you're 1-1, you don't come back. Andrew Luck did it, and that was pre-N-I-L. That's right. By the way, I had someone whispered to me over the weekend. what they whisper.

And I can't give a divulge it, but this, I believe this to be a... It's a John McLean? No, it's not John McLean. You want Arch and NIL? You better come with seven figures. Oh, yeah. I could believe that. That's stout.

He's doing quite well for himself. Meaning, again, you can't be Bubba's pizza. No, he's going to hang up on you. You better be Rita Rutt. You better be Rita Rutt. You better be. Roparons. Arch Manning, who has played, what, a handful of games as a collegian player,

has yet to take the field in a 2025 game, and you can't get in with his people unless you have a deal that starts with probably a one and has six zeros after that. I don't know exactly what this means. On three does their NIL valuations, they have them at 6.8 million. Does that mean per year or in total? I think that means per year. I think it's per year.

Oh, he's speaking for maybe amazing Maine. Okay Marby Marker The Glasses Company Have you heard of them? Nope I've heard of them But I mean I'm not saying

Yeah That's kind of a big Glasses company Panini America Okay They do cards Okay Ruber

Medmol Are you doing Ruber? You know why have I been stuck At 4.90 I have given nothing But good tips And been very quiet I deserve a little bump up

I deserve a 4.92 Don't you 4.9 is excellent. I need it a little bit higher, though. It's debatable. It's not debatable. You've been in cars with me. I act like a true gentleman. Now, you usually ask them how much money they make. You're very inquisitive. So that drops my star rate? How much money do you make in Vegas as an Uber driver? That's personal information. They don't have to give to you. They probably drop you, doc, you stars.

Let me tell you, they're very happy to have a conversation because most people are gibronies like yourself and vomit in the backseat. I have only vomited backseat of one Uber. Guess what? I've done at zero. I win, 4.90. I got 4.97. Suck it. That's ridiculous. You must be paying. I don't know what you're doing, but it's illegal, whatever you're doing. You have an algorithm that's helping you out. Let me look. I'll give you the final number soon. All right, we're going to wake the strippers up. Let's do that.

Oh, I forgot about that. You ready? I'm in deep throat today. I'm going to be good, too. I'm giving you 20 seconds right here. 11.59. Oh, my God, you have to clip that. What? You just said you're in deep throat. That's an all-timer.

Please save that. and also please copy that into Ross's personal audio folder in our That was horrible. That was great. It was horrible. Yeah, 4.97 suck it. I will never talk about

basically your community college ever again if you get rid of it. I'll clip it myself. All right. Hey, the news that nude is not put the strippers next. I saw one where it was they were attacking him because they did the pregame meme of Taylor Swift

and Travis Kelsey. Yeah. It's like your Astros fans and Jordan. Yeah, one was like, hey, instead of doing Taylor Swift memes, how much don't focus on winning a baseball game? You just let me in a postcard. I got you.

You got it now. You are a horrible candidate for Mr. Texas. Internally yours? Yes. You didn't even put a stamp on it. I know. I'm sorry. Turn the music down real quick.

Here we go. You're listening to the. Sports leader of Houston, 790. Sports talk, 790. Bown, bow. I think it was an adolescent. I don't know how to say how big he was. He was, how big is this?

Don't ask me how big your thing is there. What do you think? It's pretty big, right? Ain't that big. I've seen bigger. I mean, I've seen bigger, but it's not bad. It's fair. It's probably not great, but you know, you need a protein load, Matt,

which I know you do. Yeah, those cast a little, little skinny. Shut up, Tom. I can hear him snick. That's our engineer. Tom, our phone line sucked. Did you know that, Tom? The show has shifted.

Exactly. They realized the ice. You know what? I don't. Let me take it. Listen, stay away. I do not care about the Texans' offensive line. I seriously don't care.

I don't care about cuts. Sue me. Go to Interstate. I don't care. I don't care. I care about Taylor. I care about Yon & Alvarez. I care about the rockets. I don't care about the offensive line.

I don't care about the cuts. I just don't. We're down to hour 53. For a long weekend for everybody except me. I'm energized now. I'm working tomorrow. Astros on deck in 10th inning show. Yes. And I'm working on Monday.

Astros on deck and 10th inning show. What? Dang. I'm off this weekend. Mr. Texas leads. by example. I was supposed to work tonight, but I asked for a, I asked for some little help from Dan.

I appreciate him helping out. Yep. Shout out Dan Matthews. We have a battle for Kaywood tonight. Oh, what is it? Kingwood volleyball versus Kay Park in volleyball. Ooh, it's a blood feud. And I am going into the opposing arena to do the announcing for tonight.

So I'm a special guest. You better call it down the middle. That's funny because I told right away, I said, hey, I'm calling it right down the middle. My car is like, are you sure? I said, yes, I have to. I can't go in the other arena. Kingwood Park sucks You can't go do that

Ladies and gentlemen It's Kingwood High School versus K Park I can't do that What is their mascot? Park Oh you don't know I don't even think I know

I better know You better learn by the time You're on the PA Game six and hours away What is K part I'm looking it up By the way so again If you're going to the K Park

K Wood game It's the battle for K Wood I was going to say It's the battle for Wood But I felt that'd be a little inappropriate The Wood Battle? No, I think Battle for K. Wood is good.

It doesn't say. They have to have a nickname. I know they have a nickname, but I don't know. All right, let's get to the news at noon. Oh, they're the Panthers. Are they really the Panthers? That didn't even stop. Panthers.

Okay. That's all literative. It works. And now the Panthers. And now here's Russ. Bitteriel. Today's news at noon. Thank you, Matt.

Yeah, we do have the Houston Astros defeating the Colorado Ruffer. Rockies yesterday in a day game. Four to three. Brian Abrayu picking up the save. It was a Yordon Alvarez off day. Everybody was upset, but Christian Walker picked up the offense with a couple of home runs. Haven't really talked about Jason Alexander.

Now, he wasn't spectacular. He was one out away from a quality start, but five and two thirds, seven hits. Eight strikeouts that change up really working for him. And he has been very good for the Houston Astros in the month of August. He has an ERA of under three in five starts. Jason Alexander found money for the Astros, man. Sy Alexander. Oh, really? That's who we're putting him?

I don't know. It felt good. Okay. Don't work. I'll flip that either. That's fine. That's fine. That was fine. All right.

Elsewhere, of course, the big news, Micah Parsons traded to the Green Bay Packers. Packers did pay a premium. They gave up two first round picks. They also paid him. $188 million over four years. $120 million of that is fully guaranteed at signing, making them the highest paid non-quarterback in NFL history.

47 million a year. Ian Rappaport says the final offer from the Cowboys was around $41 million per year. And Ken, you and I, we can't possibly decipher whether he's worth 47 or 41. It's what the market gives. It's what David Mulligata, his agent got for him. And I'm telling you, if you're Green Bay today, you are like, let's LFG on this.

Yeah, I think it's worth it because he's 26 years old and he is just coming into his prime. Everywhere you look at pressure rates and all that type of stuff, he's just one of the best in football. So the Green Bay Packers are going all in. We'll see what happens with them and Jordan Love. But I don't think it's a horrible move for the Cowboys, but I think it's a move they shouldn't have made.

even as we played earlier, Michael Irvin was shocked that the move was made because he said there was no chance it was going to happen. We'll put it this way. We are, we deal in the here and the now. If you're a Dallas Cowboy fan getting ready for opening week, how do you stop Jalen Hertz? Micah Parsons would try to help you with that. It's not going to do it. Would be part of it. All right, Matt, big college football weekend coming up. You have, of course, big matchups like Notre Dame versus Miami, Clemson versus LSU. But it all starts at 11th. 11 o'clock Texas versus Ohio State. Now that I look on ESPN bet, they even have Texas as the favorite at a minus one and a half. It had been. Now, see, I told you Texas on the money line.

I told you a month ago. I'm not going to record in the line. I got sauces that are so good, they're even better than Ryan Day. And it's the good as sources you're going to get. Use code 987 with draft kings pick six. All right, Maddie? Use no code because I don't have a code. Code 987.

So Texas now favored in the game, which, as I said, makes me nervous. I really want them to win. The good news is it's not a death knell for the season when the top 12 teams making it. It's not an SEC conference game, which should be a big matchup coming up tomorrow at 11 a.m. Longhorns and Buckeyes. 10 o'clock right here on 790 with the game on the pregame show 11 o'clock. And, you know, the pregame guys, they put their work in. Let me just tell you all need to listen to those pregames.

We work hard on those things. Learn love. Sure. So radio version of the broadcasts, 11 o'clock tomorrow right here on the 7-9. One more quick news item, Matt. I saw this. There was a report that had come out from Andrew Marshan. It was with the athletic now, I believe.

But, you know, he does media reporting. Talked about one of the reasons that we kind of knew this already, but he reported it. And one of the reasons Jeff Van Gundy was services was not retained with ESPN when he was let go from the top team was that ESPN was not happy. with the way that he was often criticizing officials. Well, it wasn't ESPN that was upset. It was Adam Sober calling the head of ESPN saying,

tell your guy to leave us alone. But just thought that was interesting because he would criticize him during. But that was something I think we thought of immediately after he got. Also, by the way, in that same story, they discussed that every year they kept hearing about Mark Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy getting coaching offers or at least looks. Yeah. And sometimes when you have somebody, it'd be like Ross, if you came to this show every day,

we kept hearing your name being talked about for other shows and other markets. Well, they never call me back. That's true. We'd get kind of tired of it. Either you're with us or you're against us. Well, I'm with you for the right price. We're going to hit 16 years in January. Oh, my God, I'm going to throw up.

16 years. And we should have some big 790 news coming up soon. Yeah, I've heard. Something at the end of the year. I didn't get a memo. Well, we're assuming you're not going to be here. Yeah. I keep getting a reference calls for your job applications.

Yeah. At rookies. And why is Rory Rene calling asking, does he make a good blizzard? Do you notice that the blizzards, when you get one, they flip them upside down to prove to you how thick they are? Yeah, they've been doing that for years. It's like, I don't know that. And I'm, they've been doing that stuff like 11.

Yeah, but I know, but you can't do that with a dip cone. That cone will fly everywhere. Yeah, they don't do it with a dip cone. By the way, my Uber is 4.9. My lift is 5.0. So suck it. Yeah, but everybody's got a 5.0 on lift. You know why?

If you try to put less than 5, they interrogate you. Really? I did not know that. Yeah, they give you like a full interrogation. So if you hit 5, you're like, all right, fine, five. But I had to do it. You know what, since we're doing Friday Sari's. There was an old man.

I'm sorry. Clearly, if an old man is driving lift. he's got something hasn't gone wrong he knows he was over 65 he needs to be retired he was driving too slow he wasn't merging on time I had to give him I gave him a nice tip but I gave a couple of

I think I only gave like two stars and then Lyft asked me why and I was like this guy shouldn't be on the road but why did you give him a tip then just because he needs obviously he needed cash I'm so sorry I'll give him a couple bucks no you shouldn't have tip to him

no I'm throw him a couple bucks I feel bad for the guy Jonathan is not prime tipper by the way I know no no no no no no no no I'm a moral tipper. A moral tipper? What the hell is a moral tipper? A dude almost ran me off the road.

He didn't almost run me off the road, but he went the wrong way multiple times. He was slow to react like he should not have been on the road. So you're enabling him to keep doing it to other people? No, I'm giving, no, I gave him a bad review, and I told Lyft he shouldn't be on the road. But you gave him a tip. I gave him a couple bucks, yeah.

Because clearly he needs cash. So you would give tips for bad service. See? Not necessarily. It depends. You got bad service on your job. drive. Yeah, I would have given him more if he had got a good So again, hey everybody, when Ross is at your restaurant,

give him below average service, you'll still tip you. A tip is your opportunity to give a little bit of extra cash to somebody who is otherwise is not making a working wage. So yeah, it's up to you. If you want to give him zero dollars, I say that's fair, but also if I want to give him a couple of bucks, because clearly he's an old man who should be retired and needs the money, I can give him a couple bucks to.

Hmm Okay, you're nicer than I am I'm not going to tip for poor service. Yeah, if you didn't want to, that's fine. You're a blessing. I'm trying to get him off the road. Trying to get his ass, old ass off the road. 713-212-5-7-90.

You know it's funny, Jonathan, there was an old man sitting next to me one time and he was making love to his tonic and gin. And he said to me, son, I don't know why he called me son. He said, son, can you play me a memory? And I said, I really don't know how it goes. but then he said but it's sad and sweet and he knew it complete

because he used to wear a younger man's clothes that old man I was thinking about shout out to you my friend out there 713-212-5-7-9 7-13-212-5-7-90 I got an unpopular take for you Sports Harvey this is not one of my

not one of my favorite Billy Joel songs That's okay This is one of the rare Billy Joel songs I do not have Downloaded on my phone Oh you're smirking Go ahead I got nothing no You see how I'm a bad liar

I can never keep his straight face No you can't Yeah That's fine It's good It's okay You said this about the concert Because you don't love Billy like I love Billy

piano man is one of the all-time great songs and he has a couple really good songs but i don't revere billy joel like many others do so other people will put him in a category of i don't know the beetles or elton john i don't you know it's funny did you see the documentary about him the two part uh and so it goes yeah it was called chugging pine saw right what's not called chucking pine saw jesus i mean there was some other names for it i mean there could have been bad motorcycle driver how do you screw up christie Brinkley, I mean, the Brinkley fumble. Yeah, I mean, how you screw that up. That's an automatic, it's a layup drill. But he had some number one hits, but he also had, as many songs as people love that are Billy Joel fans of his,

were not super popular. Okay. Like scenes from Italian restaurant was in a top 40s. All right. I mean, piano man did okay, but it wasn't a number one hit. I don't like pressure at all. I like pressure. Uptown girls one of the worst songs of all time. But very pipe on the charts.

Exactly. Do you know what his first number one song was? I don't. Still rock and roll to me. It's fine. But it took him like seven years to get there. Now, see, I was looking to flip those. My intention was to flip those tickets.

I bought floor seats because we at work, we got a code to buy them early. We went with the Thomases, went with the Clintons, and we had a wonderful time. Yeah, I had a good time. We saw you and your brother there. It was good. We had a really, we stayed downtown. We stayed downtown. Yeah, I was ennebriated.

I didn't hate the. evening. It's good. Piano Man to me, Piano Man is one of the great all-time. I mean, this is a great song. It's universally beloved. Yeah. Isn't, we've had this fantasy five before. Is this?

We did it for a 2 a.m. songs. We did a 2 a.m. songs. Yeah, like the closing time at the bar song, Piano Man. Tiny dance, sir. Yes, we did. Yeah, we've talked about that. Sweet Caroline. Sweet Caroline. You won the list, but it was, we both had a respectable list. Yeah, yeah. I was fine.

and then one that were bad, but yeah. Tiny dancer, I mean, that's a 2 a.m. Oh, man. You about that look. Hold me closer, tiny dancer. The only problem with Piano Man is I ran into this when I sang at karaoke at Rishin's Row rate one time.

But it was, it's a long song. It's got many verses to it. Yes. But, but people loved it so much that the manager bought the entire bar of drink said, whoever this guy is, he can really sing. And it's kind of out of my. octave because I'm a barriced. He was high on crack, I remember. The manager?

Or did it be really Joel? Or both? I don't know. We can do a karaoke sometimes. We have not, we have not. Have you and I ever karaoke together? No, we tried to, but then there was somebody took over the microphone the entire time. Oh, that's true. We were doing piano, man. Where we did? What were we doing? What were we doing? There was like five of us up there. Yeah, we've done. And he bow guttered on everything and then he got fired. Yeah. But, yeah, we in the NBA are rock. Traveling crew. We can karaoke two or three times. Vanessa's excellent at it. I am excellent. Craig.

Craig is okay. And Ryan just joins in. He doesn't know the words any of the songs. But he just joins it and sings anyway. Just the way you are. That's a jam. That song is his first hit. That song was 1973. Just the way you are? Yeah. 177.

Hmm. Piano Man was 73. would you say his first, I thought you said something else was his first hit. No, his first number one was old time. Oh, his first number one. So when was just the way you are, was 77? I thought it was really early than that. That's what Google says?

You don't always believe Google, do you? Over you? Yes, generally. Generally, I'm going to go with Google over you, but I mean, you're not going to, you can win one every now and then. It's true. I'm going to figure this out now. I'm upset.

Cougar Chris on 790. How about that game last night, Coogers? Woo! Cougars for life. Suck it, Lumberjacks. Suck it, Jacks. It was a solid performance. We did just what we had to do to make sure we stayed basic and stuff like that to get through it.

There's nothing to be, you know, not like beating Texas or something like that, but we were solid. I'd like to see a few less penalties and stuff. But as I was talking to Mr. Barney at halftime, you disappeared really fast. Well, my son was in a suite with some friends of mine, so I went and saw him. him so sorry about that. Ah, cool. So anyway, you know, he said, he said, I asked him, what do you think? And he said, you know, we're just doing basics, nothing fancy, that sort of thing. So I was glad to get through it. I want to do a lousy shout, a bad shout out to the Rucatomy in my area here.

Went in there today because I couldn't find what I wanted at the Cougar shop last night. And went in there, and this Rucademy in my area has absolutely no University of Houston here. But not only that, they have... No collegiate gear. None. You would think starting college football season off that people would be looking for gear, but nope. Not one UT, A&M, you know, anything like that. Well, how about that you ready for this, Chris?

I'm going to tell you something. Chris is going to destroy you a little bit. You ready for this? My son, who was a Texas tech grad, and he likes the cougars because he knows of me. He went to another, he went to a competitor of Rerattery. he bought a University of Houston Tommy Bahama shirt which I didn't even realize they had

I didn't either and it's slick it is slick you ready for this there's $150 $150 $1.000 Yeah absolutely

yeah I know dude this collage gear is too it's so ridiculous so ridiculous and a lot of it is very low it's got more expensive and lower quality over the years mm-hmm

how does that happen you're exactly right You're exactly right. But just a little shout out if somebody at U of H is listening, then I haven't asked those question for you, but anybody's listening to nothing from U of H this morning. The West Terrace last night did not, had not been clean since last season. There was no bar set up. There was no water.

There's no popcorn, no nothing. And that's kind of embarrassing. Our facilities suck. I mean, I've got to be honest with you. It's not, it's not the athletic department's fault. It's the central campus's fault. It's the facilities. Yeah, it's facilities.

I know. And I just said, my joke was to people, I said, you know, this is the first year we've ever done this. You know, so there's going to be some hiccatch. All right, what's your asking this question, Chris? Yeah, and you may not be able to answer it, but you may be able to give me kind of an educated idea. Okay. Because with all the rehab assignments have been going on, you know, your on goes down 2A, some people go to 3A, that sort of thing. What do they look at when they're deciding if somebody's going to go rehab it to?

are going to rehab it three or something like that. It's only, it's not about the competition, Chris, and thank you for the phone call. It's about where the teams are. Yeah. They want to keep them as close to Houston as possible. Like, you're not going to send Yoron Alvarez to Northwest Arkansas to play a game. Or to Reno. Yeah, yeah.

If the space cowboys are home or the hooks are in corpus or they're, you know, they're in Austin or something. Keep it double A and keep it AAA. And then for the most part, try to keep them. Didn't Justin Verlander have to do It was like last year or the year before He had to do one crazy one Yes, he had a game in Arkansas And you were like

Well, you know he's gonna hang out of the boys on the bus And I'm like Ross, shut up He is flying a charter plane there Yeah By the way I got my Billy Joel songs mix up She's Got Away was the song I was thinking That was his first

semi hit I was just the way you are Is a different story The first one to chart was Piano Man in 73 Yeah She's got away was his first single Yeah that's what I was thinking about

And by the way listen to She's Got Away. His voice sounds so young and doesn't have drugs and alcohol in all that. His young velvety voice is very good. Yeah. She's got away. Excellent song. But, yeah, that was the first song that I was thinking about.

And he wrote it about his first wife. He's been married 17 times? Four times. Okay. Just the way you are was his first top 10 hit in 1977. First top five hit, hit number three. And Uptown girl, him made number one, too, right? I'm assuming.

I don't know. That song sucked. Tell her about it was number one. God, he's got some hits. We didn't start the fire with number one. Got some hits, hats, baby. Let's go. Uptown girl hit number three.

And 19? Uptown girl 85. 83. Dang. All right. They're jamming Billy Joel back there. Let's get some more BJ going. What the heck?

Billy Joel. 1234, Sports Talk, 790. You can't. With the one from the top of the hour. No, you can't. Don't put that in there either. I just said, Billy Joel, BJ.

713, 212, 790. 719. 7.13. 212. 790. 12.34. on Sports Talk 7-Henny. I do want you all to watch a documentary.

It's very, very good. And to his credit, he doesn't make any excuses for his bat-blank crazy behavior. All of his ex-wives are on there. All of them? Even that Brunette that he married after Christy Brinckley. They put them on a panel? Well, they could have.

I mean, if you want to go to the Billy Joel tree, it's not Derek Jeter. It's not Justin Timberlake, but it's pretty good. Now, the oldest one is, you know, is 75 and she's not hot, but everybody else is in their primes, outstanding. We did a fantasy five of hit lists, didn't we? For a guy that's like 5'7, his hit list is incredible. We went through John Mayer, Justin Timberlake, Derek Jeter.

I think I drafted Frank Sinatra. But you don't even know. We did have... Who was Frank's... Like, who was his cleanup hitter? Ava Gardner, Mia Farrow, Raquel Welton-a-Mix somewhere in that? Lauren Bacall, Grace Kelly.

Oh, boy, he's got a deep lineup. Yeah. This is 27 Yankees over here. Wait, is this true? Jackie Kennedy? No. Frank Sinatra and Jackie Kennedy? How about John F. Kennedy's hit list? Marilyn Monroe? No, now you're mixing him up. This is... Look, I put... I put...

Frankson and not your girlfriends. Marilyn Monroe's right there. And then he married Mia Farrow when she was like 19, right? Or something like that. Yeah, I don't know. All right, let's go to the phones. People want to talk sports, sports and more sports. John on 790.

Hello, John. It's exploding, guys. Piano Man. A bunch of sports guys. Acknowledge and beetlobes paradise by the dashboard light. What? What the hell? you're talking about john have you ever listen to meatloaf yes he sucks may you rest

and the song paradise by the daddy garden comparison to that song all right uh i appreciate the bravado in your take you're a love for meatloaf i mean you love meatloaf kindergarten kindergarten well the all-tire greats meatloaf we if we could go to a concert a bar anywhere a library a lecture Hall. Mealow for Billy Joel. I think Billy's going to win 95% of the time. Maybe 97% the time. It'd be like saying, if you had a choice between going to the University of Houston or SFA,

where are you going to go? Oh, come on, Matt. You said you apologize? Gun violence or safety or education? I don't know, guys. Or get mauled by a mountain line in the middle of class. So I'm on Scott Street

yesterday. I almost took a video of it. There was three police officers resting somebody right in the middle of the intersection at Scott and whatever. I was like, this is tailgating at you of age. And I thought I did not want to. Yeah, that sounds about you. Tailgate with the bracelets on.

Go Coogs. I'm going to slander your school for the next hour and 20 and then I'm done. Because I'm a responsible person. Let's talk to Adam in Tomball at 1241 on the Matt Thomas show. Ross, Adam, good afternoon to you. How are you doing? How are you guys doing? We're amazing.

Thank you. Awesome, awesome. I got one thing for that guy that is called Jam, Jam, Jam, Jam. Oh, drop a little Florida Evans on him. I got you. All right, what else you got? Yeah, anyway, hey, I got a little something on CJ Stroud. Look, I'm just going to get some opinions. You get you and Ross's opinions on this. I got my opinion, but I'm just waiting for him to break out, you know, like dogs. You know what I mean? Like, I mean, hey, it just doesn't seem like he's got that dog in him. Like, I know he's got that calm demeanor. Love it.

You know, and everybody was ripping about that Seattle hat he had on. And I don't know what that other hat he had on. It said it has an I-E and like a halo on it when he had the interview on ESPN, the first take. I don't know what kind of hat that was, but it's all good. I mean, he was a huge Texan fan. Just wait for him to break out. You know, I think we're going to see more running from him this year. You know, he's doing a slide on the pad over there.

in a rain buyer. But I mean, I don't know how much that's going to last or whatever, but I know he's not trying to get hurt for one thing. I mean, we need to throw out the playoffs and, you know, he's trying to stay healthy. But I'm just waiting to see that dog in him, you know. What are y'all's opinion?

I got another Joe Mason thing, too, I want to talk about, but what do you, I mean, what do y'all think? Yeah, he needs to break out, obviously regress in his second season. He's got more weapons now. The offensive line isn't as good. And I have a gut feeling at him that he just wasn't 100%.

It was kind of hinted at a couple times throughout the season at the towards the end of the year and at the postseason that he wasn't 100%. But it's the NFL. Nobody out there by the end of the season is 100%. So he's definitely got to bounce back and make that leap forward that we all thought he was going to make.

Absolutely. Yeah, that's what I'm looking forward to. You know what I mean? And I mean, he looked very good in the playoffs. He started running more and, you know, yeah, I'm so excited about his weapons. I really thank Jayle and O'L is going to break out too. That's my sneaky pick. All right.

You know my, yeah, so Jaylen O'L. But anyways, on the Joe Mixing side, I just think, I just think they're trying to keep him healthy, be honest with you. The four games, whatever, all the stuff that they say about him, I just really think they're trying to keep him. He's going to be our workhorse, you know, throughout,

even if he makes it to the playoffs too, but him paired with Yordon, I think they're keeping him, you know, hey, keeping him at bay. No, no, no. I'm at my head. hate to tell you this. I don't believe that to be accurate. I don't think he's healthy. I think he's hurt. If he was ready to go, he would be playing in week one. They don't stockpile running backs because they are hoping to save him for the later of the year.

If he's ready to go, he would be ready to go. He can't even practice to week. Week four, right? I just don't think Adam he's, I mean, I'd be, again, I don't want to predict anything because I don't know anything because they're keeping it cypid. But there's no way in the world right now. He could put a uniform on and can try to contribute. Well, he was nursing that injury too at the end of the season and into the playoffs too, wasn't he? He was nursing that ankle injury. It was kind of bother him as well, right? Yeah, and that's the thing is that we're loaded here in secrecy, Adam.

Thank you for the phone call. Is it ankle? Is it foot? Is it both? Is it shattered? Is it crushed? Is it sprained? Is there ligament damage?

And guess what? The Texans don't want you to know so they're not going to tell you. It is what it is. So guess what you're going to do? You're going to have people searching and chase them. Yeah. And digging. And digging.

We here have sent, now I'm a Texan's insider. You guys know that. When I hear something, I'll tell you. Oh, what injury does he have? I'm still, I mean, still insidering.

Oh, okay. You need to confirm from multiple sources. You only have one source right now. Correct. You got to corroborate your sources. Yeah, you usually get three. Okay. I'm going to get four this time,

just to make sure I'm completely okay. All right, got you. 713-212-5-790. 7-1-3-2-2-790. It is the Matt Thomas show, with Ross 713 212 579

This is the mute love song He's on the song about Oh my God This is what's better than piano man That's That previous car Shut your bum ass up Seriously, I love you though

Can we get into the verse How long is this intro With the baseball game? This is actually in the middle of the song Oh okay It's like a four-part song This is a nine-minute jazz odyssey How long is his song?

It is nine minutes actually Oh, for real? This is annoying. You know that the voice is behind you? Vince Kelly. No. Phil Rizzuto. Longtime Yankee broadcasts, former Yankee player.

Turn this off. Hold on, hold on. I just want to hear a little bit of it. Can we just... Yeah, this sucks. Yeah, this sucks. Yeah, that's fine. Yeah, meatloaf is doing a lot of acid these days, I'm sure.

I didn't want the baseball announcer. Hmm. Matt. I was, you wanted to listen to the song. I don't take a bite. I'm hungry. hungry. People you have to eat during the show. We had the really hear the, the, um.

Yeah. Don't look at me that way, Ross. Take me deep breath. Everything's cool. Everything is cool. We are doing a good job. We are doing a good job. I get hungry during the show, too, so I empathize for sure. Yeah. I mean, if our show was two to six, 10 to 2 is kind of tough when you want to eat in the middle of the day. I understand. You don't want to have lunch at 9.30. I'm sorry. I love you.

I mean, I like you a lot, but I don't know. It loves too. That's rude. 15 years when you're going to love me. 15 and a half. Andy and Cyprus on 7. Hello, Andy. Hey, good afternoon, guys. Hi.

I want to apologize to Ross. Oh. He did it. Yeah, I'm late to it. I just got in my car, but I know it was Friday for the apologies. I called in last week, I think, and Ross was doing a 10th inning show,

and something happened on a road trip to where somebody was giving away cheeseburgers. for free because the Astros won on a road game. And Ross was like, did you really just call in because the Astros won and somebody else is giving away cheeseburgers and my wife and my kids made fun of me for calling in for it? And then Ross didn't like it either. So I'm calling it to apologize.

So I'm called. That's all right, Andy. I vaguely remember what you're talking about. You wanted the Astros to do the... Oh, it was the Brewers, right? You called in the time. Yeah. swept up in and they were like they get swept they give away some restaurant local in Milwaukee gives

away burgers and you said Houston needed to do that or something I can't recall no I was just like do you know the name of it because oh that's right yeah that was a ridiculous call Andy I'm sorry but I appreciate it but I appreciate you for apologizing I had a little too much fun with my friends that night oh I got you yeah man he called in he was like hey there's a there's a burger restaurant Milwaukee giving away burgers you know what it's called I was like, no, I don't, Andy. I would go to Google. And then that was basically the gist of his call.

Well, Andy had a few pops. He said he had a few too many with his friend. So that's all right, Andy. We appreciate you. It's funny. If we eliminated drunk callers, I mean, we'd lose about... Oh, we want y'all lit. 75% of our calls, we'd lose.

I had won a couple days ago. It was kind of an interesting guy calls up and says, hey, I noticed that Brian and Brayu has music now when he comes in to finish games. Is he the new closer? And I said, Brian and Brayu? I said, yeah, because Josh Hader is hurt and probably not going to come back this year. And so usually your eighth inning guy becomes your ninth inning guy when your ninth inning guy gets hurt. And he goes, oh, okay, that makes sense.

So, okay. That's what we're here for, man. That's what we turn to you. What? Line five. What do we do in line five? New York. The Astros beat the angels.

Yeah, what's going to happen next, Maddie? That Aaron Judge is coming to down. He's going to strike out a bunch, and the Astros are going to beat the Yankees, at least two on three, maybe even a sweep. He's a whiff machine. 66 WF fan. We're going to go to Yonkers.

James, you're on the fan. Thank you for taking my call, Governor Thomas, and shout out to you to RV. I'm going to be checking out tomorrow's game between those. those mighty, mighty people from UT and everything. And I'm rooting big time, I'm telling you, big time for Archie Manning. So all these people, they got to lay off that dude.

Stop, you know, stop talking all that punkiness, whatever, and leave his name out of it. Also, I'm going to get back to you real quick about that guy, Johnson. Look, I happen to be half Italian, and I know lots of Italian people back in New York and even some people here in Houston. You know, I'm not going to get too, you know, too ethnic ethical about you know races and stuff like that but most italian people they will not

touch meatloaf okay they're like a good meatball parmesan or whatever or spaghetti and meatballs but they ain't going to eat no meatloaf so whoever that clown was talking about you know comparing um that group meatloaf the group is okay but when you talk about billy joe you also got to lay off that dude because number one he's not talking about the dish really joe they they they're They love his music. They love his persona, his lifestyle and everything. And also that list that you had, look, Ava Gardner is the perfect cleanup in that line with all the women that he dated because he was really attached to that lady. Okay?

I appreciate you taking my car. And look, I expect my Yankees to show up. If they don't show up, I'd be terribly disappointed along with all my people out there from Yankee universe. and shout's out to the Yankee guy, Keith and everything, okay? And thank you for taking my call, fellas. You got it. How do you feel about meatloaf, Matt? Sports talk 790.

Sports talk 790. I'm sorry, please. Sports talk 790. Listeners, please hang with us. It's going to get better, please. Oh, gosh. We're not going to go again. Well, before it gets absolute worst.

James with this on 790. Hello, James. Oh, crap, hold on. Hello. Hello, James. You're on the fan. Yeah. Yeah.

Ohio, Miami of Ohio, Toledo, Akron, Ken State. And they have the audacity to call them the Ohio State University. Their mascot is a nut, and it explains a lot of their fans. These guys shouldn't be going to McDonald's before Saturday's game so they can feast on one arch. it's going to be a shame that that's not going to be the most terrible loss because they have to play Michigan in November. I'm out. Rack them.

Great call. Great call. 800. 686686, 686, 686. I don't think that's the number. 4TI crew. I write all my script and every part of my show, so I don't have to have improvisation. This is the only show, I swear.

Talking about Meelof, the artist. Meatloaf, the dish. Don't forget about the dish. By the way, a great meal of has a tomato ketchup, burt crept, crisp, crust around it. And then some mashed potatoes on the side. 800, 686, 686. I'm getting hungry.

You're eating food. I'm already hungry now. Yeah, you want a bite? No. All right. Now in Florida stories in one half hour. What? Yes.

Hell yeah or not. All things, Lee Corso. It is the Matt Thomas Show with Ross. Let's get to some Astros conversation. We'll do that to start the final hour of the show. And Ross is going to give us a prediction of what it's going to happen in the game against Texas versus Ohio State. All in the final hour of the Matt Thomas show. Ross, this is Sports Talk 790.

This is the Matt Thomas show with Ross. 104 on Sports Talk 790. You know, we're always concerned about our youth sports rave. But sometimes they're way more knowledgeable than we're. we're ready to give them credit for. Case in point, I found this video on Instagram with a reporter and a young child. So why don't you like the longhorns?

Because they use liquid smoke on their barbecue and serve it with avocado toast. Matt, that's AI video. No, it's not. It was a legitimate reporter talking to a young child. Oh, God. You're reaching Gramp status, loving these AI videos with children.

It was pretty sad. And Austin has many of the best barbecue joy. You barbecue with liquid smoke. How shameful is that? I do not barbecue with liquid smoke. You use post-oak mat, not liquid smoke. And Austin is home to many of the greatest barbecue places in the nation, including interstellar barbecue, which you can find my review of at my Instagram.

Dennis spent a dollar with us, Rinearrella barbecue. Well, I had some bad things to say about them. What was the worst thing about it? Brisket was a little tough. Isn't brisket typically tough? No. Not good brisket. Yeah, where you get it.

See? Matt, you just... You get the side of the road joint and then you... Never mind. I'm going to leave you alone. That was the only problem you had with it. It's... They got a Michelin star, Matt.

The food's pretty good. And the stars and the sides were okay? Sides were great. Did you have dessert? You can find out. At Sports RV on Instagram. My full review. No, but they have great barbecue in Austin.

So this video... Number one, it's a dumb AI video. Number two, it's not even true, and it's ridiculous. You're telling me that people that go to Texas Longhorn fans don't eat avocado toast? Some of them do. I bet more than, I bet. But if you, if you're eating, I don't really eat avocado toast. I got a Texas insider and said they do eat avocado toast.

Uh-huh. Yeah, that's right. Texan insider here. Texan insider. What's wrong with avocado toast? It's a little metrosexual. Oh, you don't like avocado. That's right.

Oh, my God. I forgot. You know what, me either, Matt. You don't like any avocado or a guacamole? Guacamole is okay. Do you like guacamole, man? No. At all.

At all. Have you tried it like in the last three years? Multiple times. Yeah. Yeah, but he gets it like Rocco Rarena. Let me tell you, let me tell you. Let's not wrong with Rocco Rana? Their guacamole is not great.

If you're a guy by ordering avocado toast, your name is probably Blair. I've had avocado toast before. You don't, you don't do it on the regular. Not on the reg. But there are some brodies. There are some Dillens. There's some... It's usually overpriced.

It's like sliced avocado in a piece of toast and it's like $10. And they throw an egg on there. Oh, 1995. Yeah, it's a little much. I'm with you. But just saying, real men don't eat avocado toast. You can eat avocado, but you can eat avocado toast. Because when I think of a real man, I think of Matt Thomas.

You should. So he's the arbiter of what a real man is. I'm a fajita omelet guy. Oh, my God. With potatoes. and pablano pepper and fajita meat and sour cream and salsa and hash browns and pancakes. I would say,

I would say, 85 to 95% of the men eating avocado toast will whip your ass. That's not true. I put it then more in the 14 to 20% category. You're right, 95% to 98%. Here's a man who knocks back some avocado toast. A complete fraud because he told me his Yankees were going to beat the Astros in New York

a couple weeks back. We haven't heard from his ass in a few weeks. Hallelujah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yankees, Keith, where the hell you been? Taking care of business in my life. Uh-huh.

Whatever. You're such a fraud. Hey, you know what? You know your announcer, Robert Ford? My announcement. He's America's announcer. If he was a Yankee announcer, he'd be in the hospital for all the few laterers that the Yankees hit. We got at least eight players that,

I'm going to hit 20 on runs. We're going to win the American League East. And I will be at the game Wednesday in the right field stands. I think I'll take my glue for a foul ball. All right. Good. You don't describe what happened the last time the Astros for the Yankees. Do you want to tell the audience what happened?

Well, we pitched Devin Williams. I said if Devin Williams gets into the game, we're going to lose. Guess what? He's on your 26-man roster. You have to pitch, you have to use guys that are on your roster. That's just life. That means it's roster and adequacy. That's your problem.

Your roster sucks. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, we'll complete the sweep. Okay. How about that? I don't want fun to be accurate at all. Well, again, I'm going to reiterate. We're going to win the American League East. We're going back to the World Series.

Okay. And this time we won't. And this time you won't cheat as much. Okay. Thank you very much, Yankees. And by the way, he will be in the stands on Wednesday night wearing his glove. So he can catch a foul ball. I'm okay with that.

People like to crush people for taking gloves? They're hitting like 110-mile-in-hour rockets out there, man. Let me tell you something. When I sat in that Crawford box and heard that George Springer ball whist by me with a sizzle to it, bring your glove. Exactly. Now, let me ask you this. If he's in foul ball territory and he's like second deck, There ain't no scissors coming that way, right?

I don't care if you want to bring a glove. You can be a tough guy with your fractured hand all you want. You don't want to pull a Yorda. Somebody wants to bring a glove, I'm not judging. Exactly. Yordaunt doesn't take your hand off no matter where you are. Yeah. Yoran puts gloves on when he enters a flight.

So nervous about things. You know, I'm going to agree. I think bringing a glove is not a terrible thing. If you bring a glove to the press box, that's a problem. They're going to kick you out. Mike Taggart's like, why is it? You can't only write with one hand. I got a glove in my other one. I can't write. That's true.

I think Channel Rome brings a glove? I think so. All right. 110 on Sports Talks, 7-8. We have now in Florida stories coming. This show's kind of flown by today. I would say it's just, yeah, blowing by. It's frankly been our fastest four-hour show. We've still got 50 minutes left.

It's the fastest four-hour show I've done this week. Well, you've hardly worked. You only worked like two hours yesterday. I know. You took off after segment one of On Deck Show. It was pretty sweet. And you're off Saturday. Off on Sunday.

Correct. Off on Monday. Absolutely. Meanwhile, I'm working Saturday. Off on Sunday. Proud of you. Monday, I'm working. I'll give you a pat on the back in an hour.

I'm a team player. You're doing great, Matt. We're all proud of you. That's why I'm Mr. Texas, Texans and Senator, and Mr. 790. Hmm. If you were to put a face on the logo of the station, it'd be mine. No. We'd probably.

Sean, probably. Sean, probably. That's probably true. I forget. All right, 713-212-5-790. Let's come back. Honestly, what do you want from Arch? What do you want from the team?

Look, I don't think we got a whole lot of Ohio State people here, but we got a few people that are Texas fans. And, oh, by the way, Aggie fans are a little nervous about OUTSA. That game is not an easy gimmie for the Aags against the Roadrunners Saturday at Kyle Field. We'll get to that. And if you would like to smack talk SFA in their lack of showing up, which was really no surprise because he was. got dominated by an amazing defense.

713, 212. Zero points. Zero. Almost got there, guys. They were at like 86 yards in total offense through three quarters. It was embarrassing. Just ought to be ashamed to yourselves. But, you know, it's SFA.

What are you going to do? 713-212-5-790. 7-1-2-1-7-90. 120 on Sports Talk, 790. It is an inning goes Friday. I hope you guys enjoy. your Labor Day weekend. Remember, I'll be with you Saturday and Monday for Astros coverage. Astros against the Angels to start a four-game series tonight. Astros find themselves two games in front of the Mariners in the American League West.

On deck with Adam Wexler at 6 o'clock. First pitch will be at 7.10. Tyler Anderson throws today for the halos. 2 and 8 with a 4.73 ERA. Christian Javier. One in one with a 540 ERA will throw for the Stros. 10 inning. so far for Christian Javier this season nine hits 10 strikeouts six walks I think if we've learned anything before I go back on the phones

that just because players come back don't necessarily mean they're going to come back and be immediate helpers for your squad now you're not hitting a home run and second game back was cool it was nice he's been he's got like 15 walks but the reality was Erigetti's had one

subpar performance and one encouraging one Javier has had frankly three lousy ones to one because of illness? I thought his first one was okay. He's got ten innings and three starts. That can't be good. Five innings, two earn runs against Boston.

It wasn't bad. So it's a five, a three and a two? Is that how it worked? Yeah, it's getting progressively worse. And then, Lance McCullors was so good and his one start back against Baltimore that he's been sent to the bullpen.

And he's probably very cranky. about it. Yeah, he's a file. He's going to have to get over it. Get out there and the bully. You know what? This is big boy baseball. You can hang out with the boys in the bully.

You're making $18 million. Yeah, your contract doesn't change. Yeah. Team to carry you. I mean, you feel like you should get a demotion and you should get a downgrading pay, but you know, it doesn't work that way. We'll see if he's used. Hopefully not, because that means the starters are doing well and going deep into games.

Well, if he's not used by, if he's not used tonight or tomorrow, my guess is he pitches Monday. Yes. But I think it's very, very possible he does tonight or tomorrow. Let's go to Frank on 790 at 122. Frank, good afternoon. Good afternoon to you. How are you? Amazing. Great.

So, you guys were talking a little while ago, well, when you played a clip from it, you know, Meatwell's Paradise by the dashboard lights, the Phil Rizzuto clip. And I don't know if you know this or not, but they did that and released the album without Phil knowing he had been recorded and was part of it.

So he was not a happy camper when that happened. And then I guess they said, well, we'll start cutting your royalty checks. And he kept quiet after that. But it was kind of an interest. I grew up in the New York area, and that was kind of an interesting story around there, because of course we all recognized the scooter's voice, right? And it was pretty amazing. I actually was at the stadium one day, and me and a couple of my buddies were walking around, and we ran into Phil pre-game.

And he, nice guy, he stopped and chatted baseball with us for a little while, and then he says, hey, guys, I got to get to work, enjoy the ball game. So hats off to Phil Rosito was a nice guy. All right, thank you for the phone call. Frank, appreciate it. Yeah, I can't imagine in 2025 you putting any song out there with anybody's lyrics or name or anything and not saying, you know, maybe it'll have a phone call to the guy. It was a different time, Matt. No, I'm not going to go to that card.

What was that in 1970? Yeah, by 70s, he should have known not to record Phil Rizzuto. What was that song called again? Crappy song by Meatloaf. I don't know. I don't think that. Oh, yeah. Paradise by the Dashboard Light, 1977.

Yeah, come on, Meatloaf. You got to be better than that. He's dead, Matt. Okay, well, Meat Loves, soul, be better than that. By the way, week two of Game Day has been decided. Oh, really? They will be in Norman, Oklahoma, for Oklahoma versus Michigan.

Ooh, that's fun. You know what that's really weird? It's that I'm not used to this, these major matchups. Now, we've had some pretty good opening week games. Usually, like, the neutral site games in Atlanta or something like that, or in Dallas. To have Texas playing Ohio State in week one in Columbus. That's stout. Yeah, I'd rather they do it in week two, honestly.

So you'd rather than play like a... San Jose State or U-Tor... Yeah, who U-Tap and who's the other terrible one? Sam Houston. Why, I mean, what if Sam Houston's better than you think it is? No, they're not going to be better in Ohio State. That's true. All right, so we've got a couple minutes here

if we get to non-flora stories. Do you... How does this play out? Go ahead. I mean, if your squad loses, it's okay. You're still going to playoff. you still got a legitimate chance to win the national championship. So life will not end if you lose.

And I won't even really rag you that hard. I mean, I'll have other people do it for me. You'll laugh. I'll laugh, especially if the game's a blowout. By the way, I think Texas wins the game. I think, I mean, is it oversimplified to say that I trust Archmanning more than a redshirt freshman and Julian Sand for Ohio State? I mean, both of them have really good players.

Obviously, Jeremiah Smith for Ohio State is going to be very difficult to stop. They did a good job of bottling them up in the playoff. they have a good secondary, but you can't expect that to happen in week one at home as he's gotten older and had an offseason to build and grow and get stronger. I asked Craig Way, I said, is the receiving core a concern with Golden and Gaunias? Not at all. Yeah, you got Ryan Wingo, you got some other guys. There's some good receivers out there. Obviously, you did lose a lot with Matthew Golden.

Shout out to the University of Houston for being Texas's farm system. but I think you get CJ Baxter back. Trey Wisner isn't a great running back, but C.J. Baxter was supposed to be the real deal, and then he had a bad injury last year, so I wonder how that's going to get split. And then the good thing that is, if Arch Manning is having some issues

and this offensive line with a lot of turnover, he can use his legs. So I feel like, I do think Texas is going to win the game, but who knows? And I, here's the thing is, I think the hype there. I think the hype for the right reason. I think

Arch Manning has been talked about for years. You didn't see a whole lot of it because Quink Hewers was taking his spot. But everything that anybody I trust when they go to these practices and watch these things. And Craig, you know, Craig's not, I mean, he's going to be positive about the quarterback,

but he's not going to overly shirtcoat it. He looks the part. He was built for this. I just, the issue was, not that I had many issues with him last year, but he would always go for the wow play. And when he made the wild play, it was great. He had great yards per completion,

yards per attempt. Those were huge numbers. But also sometimes he would overthrow guys. He would throw interceptions. So, but he's taking all the snaps and won. Exactly. If he can be more mature and take the snaps, then take what the defense is giving him more often, then yeah, he's going to be a lot better. So we'll see. I don't

know. I think he is going to be really good. And I think he's going to be good enough to win this game. I think it's going to be close like 30-27ish Texas. that's actually too high of a score. I'm into spending a little lower. I don't know what the total is.

But if, I mean, I could see a bit, I mean, no, I'm going to go low. I'm going to say probably. 46 and a half, so it is a lower total. Yeah, I can see it being 24-17, something like that. Okay. But I think Texas wins. I'm with you. 30 to 27. Texas long-long-old.

Smart people have said this is the best team that Texas has had in quite some time. That's three field goals, actually. I'm going to change it. 28, 24. So you're saying higher than the number. You're checking the over? Yeah. Sure, why not?

All right. Let's get some non-Florida stories in. If you're new to the show, this is a segment we do every Friday in the program, usually, where you actually have to tell us, we actually tell you stories that happen outside of the state of Florida. The crazy, easy, easy, low-hanging fruit stories, that whacked-ass state in Florida. But we go outside of the state. We go elsewhere. And if you would like to listen to those stories, we've got one for you next. Actually, we got three of them for you next.

Plus, hell you're not all things about Lee Corso. here on Sports Talk 790. We find interesting stories that occur outside the state of Florida and share them with the people of Hugh. It's time for non- Last week we had any Nunez in studio. We didn't do non-floor stories, Rossi, so I have two non-floor stories this week.

How about that? What? I'm giving you two-for-one here on today's edition of... It's a two-for-one here. Get you on a recorded line inside of sources. I'm Bobby Esposito. Why don't we do this to me? You did it.

You did it. No, I didn't do that. All right. Story number one. Okay. Cleo Williams Jr. of Levinworth, Kansas. Cleo William Jr. Unfortunately, he was found guilty after pleading no contest to a charge of sexual battery.

Oh, God. Yeah, this happened after a December the 14th incident at Elevenworth apartment complex. after police responded to a domestic disservice. That's not the part of it. It's a sad part, but it's the story. While the officers were arresting Mr. Williams, he kissed an officer's neck, leaving to the charge of sexual battery.

Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson says the following. Our officers work hard, and we respect and appreciate the services they provide. However, Ross, any form of inappropriate physical contact, including kissing, is unacceptable. sentencing is scheduled for September the 25th in the Leavenworth County District Court. If A, have you ever been arrested and B, have you ever tried to neck with the person arresting you? No, I've never been arrested, actually.

All right? That's me. It makes two of us? I know you're shocked to hear that. Yeah, and Jonathan, you've been arrested? Never. Okay. But if you were to get arrested and the girl was cute, would you try to neck with her? Would you try to make out with her? Kiss her neck? Whisper some sweet-nothing's into her ear.

Like, let me go. I'm not guilty. Baby girl. All right, there you go. Thank you, Matt. Thank you. I have another story coming up. Oh, you do? Oh, you do one?

Yeah, you do one. Okay. Matt, let me take you to a place called, of course, a United Kingdom, also known as Great Britain, where, as you know, Matt has happened here in Texas and other states. There has been an age verification system if you want to browse pornography sites. Where is this again? This is in Britain. Oh, shoot. I know you've had some issues, Matt.

Not issues, just clearances. That's fine. Like Nevada and California, much more liberal to it than say Texas. Yes. Well, there are many restrictions in the United Kingdom as well, where unfortunately, there is a man having issue getting his age verification in Great Britain. His name is King of Ink, Land, King, Body, the Art Extreme, Incite.

Excuse me. What? That's his entire name. That's his entire legal name. He is the most tattooed man in Great Britain with over 90% of his body covered in tattoos, including his entire face. He's disgusting. Unfortunately, when he tries to get his age verified so he can do his thing,

it tells him that he's wearing a mask. So he cannot access. pornography sites in Great Britain. This man's liberties are being taken away. The struggle is real. The struggle is real. He said, quote, it says remove your mask because the technology is made so you can't hold up a picture to the camera or wear a mask. It's not like I can do the old John Travolta face off and change it when I want to.

It's my skin. It's my permanent identity. So when he's looking for... Self-pleasure. Red tube. What do they call it over there? Wank tube. Wank tube.

Oh, I don't... U-porn. I don't know anymore. I really don't, Braziers. You do... He's got issues over there. He's having some issues. Apparently, there are real problems with the UK's verification system.

Facial recognition technology contains biases. Study is found they have higher error rates for people of color. And other issues... leading to inaccurate results and this man's issue as well with his age verification. Thoughts and purse him in hoping he gets it resolved as soon as possible. He's just trying to end his Thursday night on a high note and he just can't do it. He's got to go get a magazine, I guess. And that's Ross's non-forrestory.

That poor guy. No, it's not poor guy. He's tatted himself up. By the way, you know, I went to Vegas. So what? He's tatted himself up so he can't have a good. good time? You know, I went to Vegas in June for, you go see Barry Mantle, of course, one of the goats. And I would say 40% of the girls I saw in Vegas were full-sleeved. Is that, is that- That's very much more popular these days, I would say, yeah. It's crazy how, I mean, I'm talking

about full-sleeve, shoulder blades, the whole thing, not like the little rose on the ankle or something like that. Well, you were off-strip. That was classy. Yeah, I was downtown and maybe it's required by state law to have the full sleeve there. Does the strip have full sleeve? I don't think so. Some. You can find it. You can find whatever you want in Vegas.

Anything you want in Vegas. Jonathan, what is your non-in-florist story? I'm not being that one, but... Excuse me, what? What did you just say? No, neither is he. He's not being that one either. No, Florida stories.

Turkish, excuse me, authorities are searching for a foreign tourist who offended the nation's moral values. When she performed a poll dance on a Turkish flagpole. Oh, yeah. AFP reported on August 21st,

the case was opened after a 12-second video was posted to social media showing a woman wearing leggings and a t-shirt while dancing. Governor's office is closely monitoring this heinous incident. The offenses carry jail terms of at least two years.

Oh my gosh. I see that she can get up to five years in jail. She's just like hanging off of the pole. That's it. And leggings and a t-shirt. Yeah, she's wearing t-shirt and regular leggings. So you find nothing wrong with this? No, I don't find this offensive at all.

You're encouraged by it. Very encouraging. So I was the end result of this whole thing. They're looking for her. looking for. She's Here you go, Matt. Oh my gosh. She's just doing a little pole dance.

She's flexible. She's bendy. She's spry. Whoa. Wow. I didn't realize they can do that to that thing. Excuse me? All right. Last story.

Thank you very much for that flag raising story. Flagpole raising story. Ah. Vernon, Connecticut, WKRC television telling us, emergency responders were called in an elementary school on Saturday, Rossi. And gentlemen. For a confined space rescue. You heard of that before?

Confined space rescue, no. What's happening? A 40-year-old man was stuck in a playground tube slide. Okay. Okay. Upon arrival at Northeast Elementary, elementary school, first responders found the man wedged feet and head first in the middle portion of the slide. EMS personnel provided oxygen the man who was in extreme discomfort due to the hot temperatures.

Oh my gosh. Ventilation was set up to help cool the space where he was trapped. One group deployed tools for the extraction while another used its aerial ladder to stabilize the section of the slide being removed to reach the man. The rescue operation successfully freed the man within 30 minutes. after being evaluated on the scene by EMS, the man refused further treatment and transport to a local emergency room. 40-year-old man in a tube slide.

Walk me through that, gentlemen. Does he have to pay the bill for that? Or is that just... That is a waste of taxpayer dollars, correct? Yeah. How many 40-year-old... I should have to let her old friend Darwin get this dude. Let me ask us, do you ever go to Chuck E.

And try to go on the slide? That's none of your... business. I know why you're going to Rucky Rees. Sicko. What do you mean? Trying to look at the moms,

the divorcees. Yeah, what's up? What's that little, Timmy? Timmy, where's your mom? Is your mom not wearing a ring on her right finger? Lest? Where's your daddy?

Is your dad here? Is it his turn for child support this week? Does your daddy own a shotgun? He's your dad the jealous type? Is that where guys go? I want to go find some moms? I would say probably not. Probably volleyball camps.

Can I speak to this? Go as an expert. If you're a raced divorcee and you're, say, 35 to 50 and you're looking for that special somebody, go to a local high school volleyball game to meet the moms is the play. And camps and national tournaments. All right. What if you don't have a kid? You just, yeah, I'm just here for the camp, you know.

Like, what do you say? Oh, yeah, I'm here for the support. My daughter, Torre, ACL. I'd already booked the ticket. I already booked the ticket, so I'm just here. See, Jonathan, you say, I'm a college talent evaluator. And then all the moms be like, oh, hell yeah, just get a random hat. You're a scout.

You're a Louisville hat. You're a USA team scout. Just get a Louisville polo and a hat, and you're golden. Those 41 years will be dropping their pants like you wouldn't believe. Zero problems. All right. Let's play a hell yeah or not. Please.
