The Matt Thomas Show with Ross - Jamal Adams Isn't Happening, Dating Advice, & Fauci On Football

Episode Date: June 19, 2020

Your home for your home teams. This is Sports Talk 790. From the classic Chevy Sugar Land Studios, find new roads. So much larger than life. Yeah. Lunch timers is the Matt Thomas show. 12 o'clock at H-Town. And welcome to a Friday edition of the Matt Thomas show on Sports Talk 790.

Joe George is filling in today for SportsRV. His whereabouts are unknown, although he did tweet something out a couple of hours ago. So we know that Ross is alive. We do know he's alive. Yeah. Matt, that was probably the highlight of my radio career, I think. What?

I've never been in the studio and you've done the Good Morning Strippers. It's great. I thoroughly enjoyed that. You could do it too if you'd like. No, it's okay. It's only a you thing. Okay, fair enough. Brandon Riley is our producer.

That's Joe George. I'm Matt Thomas. Hope you guys are in a fantastic mood. There's nothing new to report about. anything. Well, we got a little things here and there. Baseball is just going to piss us off again today and we'll run through the details of that or

well, let's just put it in a nutshell. They just can't get along. Joe George, baseball, the owners, the players and the greatest sports agent in the history of sports agents can't keep his mitts out of this. Yeah, it's funny how

Scott Morris was speaking of. The last 24 hours, Scott Boris is being, they're basically saying he's butchering all of this. that he's the one causing the problems. Yeah. But when you look at the best players in baseball, that's him. Bryce Harper,

Max Scherzer, Garrett Cole. Like the best players in baseball, now Blake Snow. Like he's got the best baseball players in the league on his client list. So he's got a lot of weight. He can ruin these things if he wants to.

Remember yesterday we were trying to decide on who's supposed to pay for the hotel room? Scott Borgesh. That's what you're saying. Well, conversation about that, you say, hey, guys, this is meaning this is Tony Clark, the Players Association Chief, and then Rob Manfred. They needed it on this call, discuss who's paying for what, and say, hey, let's do one thing and unify on one thing.

Let's tell Scott Boris to back the F off. Because frankly, he's doing neither side any favors. I am, and granted, he is the most powerful sports person in sports that's not attached to a league, Scott Boris is. And I'm scared of him. And he probably could have me buried in cement. I absolutely believe that 100%. So I got to be pretty careful when I talk about Scott Boris because you never know who's listening.

But he is ruining your sport if you love baseball. The most powerful agent in sports today is ruining your sport because he just can't stay out of it. Because let's face it, the players that are going to take the biggest chunk of lost revenue, what are his clients? The highest most highly paid of them all. And I want you out of it, Scott. I don't care how much money you make. You can make as much as you want to. You can, you can get teams to overpay for your clients until you're blue in the face. Good for you. That's what agents are supposed to do. But stay out of this. Could you imagine a baseball agent

ruining America's pastime? Because it's what's happening? I want to say no, but it's happening right in front of us, and it's because every penny that Garrett Cole loses, he loses the 10th of that penny.

I'm guessing. Well, whatever. It's just... It's going to hurt him. It's about... I feel like this is more about Scott wanting to make sure he gets his money.

And that's why he's trying to tell guys, you got to get full prorated. You got to get the full prorata. This is what you have to do. You got to get all your money because he wants his. But the thing is, he already has it. I don't know what his net worth is,

but it's got to be hundreds of millions of dollars. If there's anybody in America that doesn't have to worry about his bank account and never, whether he should use credit or debit, it's Scott Boris. What do you think of this? I would do this to Ross. I'll play the range game.

Give me a range something that I can win. What was the first number you threw out there? I didn't throw anything out there. Just don't say, give me a range of where I think I should come in to win this contest of yours. Somewhere between... No, no, no, give me a plus or minus number. Within how much should I guess it by? About 100 million.

Ooh. He's worth $600 million. You're close. What is it? $450. Okay. He's worth $450 million. Please, Scott Boris, get the F out of this.

And here's the problem. gang, they are legitimately fighting over 10 games. If you have not heard, Rob Manfred told the baseball players, it ain't happening. We're not playing 70. We're not committed financially to it.

And the calendar tells us otherwise. And by the way, you were talking about how they want to get out of the way by November of the 5th or 1st. That's not going to happen. Yeah, no way. Not with 16 teams. No chance. There will be postseason baseball in November. And I think they're deathly afraid of

those games are going to go against the NFL and they're going to get crushed. Now, granted, it won't make that big of a difference if we're not playing NFL football in November. That's true. Which hopefully isn't the case because then we're all going to just take a bunch of pills. Yeah. Lots of pills. I actually suggested yesterday that they should go into the bubble

for the MLB playoffs to make sure there's no weather issues to prevent that second wave of the coronavirus that could happen to stop that from shutting down baseball to put them in a bubble at the playoffs.

So put them all in Arizona for a bubble, just those final 16 teams. Why, Arizona? Just picking it. Just to pick it. Or Florida. You could do Arizona and Florida. Well, I think you probably could do Dome Stadium of any sort. Yeah. So, like, just put them in Arizona or Florida or Texas.

Middemead Park's fine. You could put the American League in Houston, the National League in Arlington. And then the two teams back and four hours just decide flip a coin and say, yeah. Yeah, I would put them in a bubble for the playoffs. So that way you have expanded playoffs. You don't have to worry about your calendar anymore. You just got to get regular season games in. Then you're in a bubble. Then you're preventing the coronavirus from stopping baseball postseason. I think it solves a

lot of their issues. I just wish they would suggest it. I wonder if this bubble bit that Dr. Fauci's been talking about and the NBA is going to have in Orlando is going to be the next 18 months of professional sports. He can't bubble the NFL. I mean, I know Dr. Fauci wants you to, but I can't imagine you can't bubble in NFL. It's just too many players, too many teams. You can't bubble college football. Frankly, the only thing you can bubble at this point would be the baseball playoffs and maybe playoff teams in the NFL. But that's,

you're thinking about that's January of next year. That's January. You haven't even played a, you haven't even had a practice yet. All right. I didn't mean to get this shown a bad note already. You want positive coronavirus test news on from baseball? Do you?

Do you want positive news? Positive. Oh, I already saw it. We'll save it for the next segment. All right, as is the case every Friday in the show, Joe, it's anything goes Friday, which we ask our audience to call 713-21257-90. If you don't want to call, that's okay. We'd love to have you.

We know that you're out there. Y'all say you are. So if we thank you for that. But, I mean, I feel like today just needs, I'm going to go off the beaten path on a lot of things. Okay. There will be, you know, this will not be for radio program directors a one-on-one, how to do a radio show. And by the way, program directors largely don't know the head from their ass, largely.

Some of them do, most of them do not. You let the talent do what they need to do. The talk show hosts move the show along. Not everything has to be formulated. You don't have to come up with crazy-ass topics just to spark people to get mad at you. Just do a radio show with, like, if I can tell you guys, Brendan, you're young in this business. You, my friend, Joe Young in this business, just go to a bar, sit down and have a sports conversation with your buddies. And that's what sports radio is.

Agreed. So I'm telling you, I'm a. the bar right now. I've got a, uh, I have my first margarita right here today. Is that your go go to? Uh, no, but I love tequila more than anything else. Okay. If we go out, Matt, yeah. And I ask for tequila, put my ass in an Uber and send me home. Yeah, I am, I am, because when I want tequila, it means I've already drank too much and I'm, and I'm going to cross the limit. Like, I don't like tequila, but drunk Joe likes to, loves tequila. Matt, regular Matt and drunk Matt loves margaritas. Okay. Regular Matt,

does not like the acidic, terrible heartburn I get right after having four or five margaritas. Drunk Matt just says screw it. You've not met drunk Matt. No, I haven't. You're going to meet him eventually. I've only met, and I've met Drunk Ross at Lucky's last year for the, when we were there for the Saints Texans game. Did you like him? It was fun.

We had a great time. Yeah. I mean, here's a thing. And everybody knows this because I mean, I would assume most people that are in an audience, has had something to drink, not named Adam Clayton. there are two levels of drunk. There's three levels. There's always buzzing guy that's drunk

and you love him because he's happy-go-lucky. He's hugging. He may even be buying a round of drinks. There's mean drunk, who you can't get away from fast enough, and then there's just out-of-control drunk that doesn't know what he's doing where he is, and he probably soils himself.

I've never been that guy. Neither have I. I am as lightweight as it gets when it. So really, if you were to go out and have pops with me, I'm probably two margaritas and then you're having to carry me out. No, Matt. The only exception of that would be last year

at my 20,000 party, I drank all night long and somehow was able to not only stay awake, not vomit, but not go pee the whole night either. Wow. That was in Vegas, right? No, that was over at Little Woodrow's in Midtown. Okay, Vegas is for 30,000.

That's never going to happen. Stop being so negative. No, it is what it is. Why? Because a lot of people of de-acted. activated their accounts. And thus the follow account has just come to a grinding halt. Okay.

And I'm okay with it. I mean, we're going to get to 30 at some point. It may be when, you know, 20, 26. We only need 5,000 more.

Oh, not happening. Who can play the game? Well, I could hear the game. Follow people, get them to follow you and then like two days later, unfollow them.

Well, there are people in sports media. I won't mention names, although I'd love to mention one, but I won't. That buy me, that buy followers. Oh,

definitely. But we can, I can verify that now. You get for who I'm thinking of? No, I can verify. If you buy followers, there's a website where I can go on and put in your Twitter handle. Yeah. And it'll tell me how many Twitter follows you bought. Yeah, I'm not doing that.

Show me that site during the break. I will. I gotta see it now. See, this is when anything goes Friday is right here. 713212.5.790. Why is it? Why would anyone bring up? Jamal Adams is a Houston Texan, unless I'm completely misreading the room.

Joe, there is one clear reason why Jamal Adams put the Texans on the list to become a Houston Texan because he wants to be traded for the New York Jets. And trust me, I'm going to think that 90% of you don't have any, if Jamal Adams walked in the room right now, you would say, hi, Jamal, what do you do for a living? First of all you don't know, he's one of the best safeties in the NFL. Yeah. I believe he's an all-pro, not a pro-bowl. He's an all-pro. He's an elite safety. He is in, just finished up his third year of his rookie contract. He has one more year left

guaranteed another year after that, which would be the option that was picked up by the Jets, and he wants out. And he's given a list of a handful of teams that he would like to go play for. And he's told the Jets, I want to be traded. So he wants to be traded. And that's great. It's just not going to be to the Houston Texans, unless the Texans have a huge philosophical change about what they're trying to do. But I know why Jamal wants to be traded. It's so ridiculously easy and explain why he wants to be traded. I'll tell you more about that in a moment. 713-212-5-790. 7-1-3-212-5-790. If you want to reach out on Twitter, it's at SportsMT, at Joe George Radio, and at Brendan Riley underscore. We have a Fantasy 5 that they will tell you about also in the next

Home of the Rock. It is Anything Goes Friday here on Sports Talk 790. Joe Georgian for Ross today. I'm Matt. Brendan's here as well. 713-212-5-790. If you'd like to join us today, it is anything goes Friday. And you know the essence of anything goes Friday is at this point, right?

Yeah. People can ask whatever question they are. Whatever you want. Anything. I mean, it could be from what's for dinner tonight to I'm having marital issues to what do I get my father for Father's Day. That's a good question. I don't know what to get.

Well, the problem is you don't live close to him. I'm getting my dad, me, because I'm going to see him for Father's Day this year. So you're going to wrap yourself up in a bow? No. I think I'm just going to bring him up here tomorrow. I think my dad would get kicked out of that. Well, I absolutely. He would be awesome.

So I think I'm going to bring him up here for my show tomorrow with Sager. And you're on 10 to 12 tomorrow, right? I am on 10 to 12 tomorrow. And then ND. Klu is doing a special Father's Day broadcast after that. Wow. So I don't know exactly who's going to be on it, but I think. think I heard rumors there's going to be some guests on the show. Okay.

Some fathers. Look at ND doing a Saturday show. Is he going to charge us for this or is he doing this? That I don't know. That's above my pay grade. Yeah. My wife always asked me, and she's probably listening, so I can be careful on this. Because what do you want for fathers then?

I'm like, to be left alone? Because here's the thing. When you have three kids in a wife, you're being pulled in a variety of directions. And those directions, I don't really mind. Yeah. But just one day we're like if Carly's got to go to a volleyball clinic, her camp, her little gymnasium where she goes and works out is a half hour from the house.

So that's a half hour. It's the two hours that she practices and then a half hour back. That's three hours. I mean, I'd rather just lay on the couch. Is a golfer? I used to. Not as much anymore.

Just don't have time. Yeah, I got you. Especially with today. Man, I walked out of the house about 10 o'clock. It felt like 155 degrees. But there are a lot of people that still do it. So, yeah, I enjoy it. I enjoy the camaraderie.

I just don't have with, since the Rockets job came into play and I've got these two jobs now, it's just been harder and harder get away. I understand that. I'm getting new clubs, though, so I can start going to offer more. Okay. Yeah, it's a great sport. You can swear, you can cush, you can talk about things. Are you a you a cigar smoker?

I am. Are you? I mean, are you a good cigar smoker? Do you a good cigar. I don't know. Do me a favor. Next time you smoke a cigar, take a picture, and we'll judge whether or not you're a good cigar smoker. because like Michael Jordan in Last Dance, he's a vet.

But that's like, he's the goat. He's the goat of cigar smoking. He's the goat of a lot of things. First and foremost, he's the goat of basketball. Yes. Secondly, he's the goat of Marlon fishing. No, he got seconds of the last place in that tournament. That big thing got him second to last?

Yes. Boy, I surely didn't see it that way. I know. That was like the first day. It was the first fish caught. But yeah, he got seconds of last. well I stand corrected and his new bride's not bad

they've actually been married for a handful years so he's doing okay cigar smoker whiskey drinker yes shoemaker liar definitely at the top of the list but I think you're you know

I don't know is he or Lance Armstrong the go of lying or like bonds oh there's a tough list no see that's a fantasy five in itself right there are best liars best liars in sports well you could do it

anything. Are you just liars in general? I mean, the greatest, probably the greatest lie of all time. OJ? No, Bill Clinton. I didn't have sexual relations with that woman. Yeah, but OJ said he didn't kill those two people. We know we did.

But that happens all the time. You have people that are convicted of trial or murder. Yeah. I'm talking about regular, good old-fashioned lying. Okay. I've told you this before. I've told the audience for you don't know this. I tell you the average person lies at least three times a day.

Sometimes you lie more than three times. Sometimes you lie less. But if you were to take your seven-day calendar, I can catch you in 21 lies. Don't argue. You can't argue it. Yeah, that's probably accurate. I mean, I'm not going to argue.

And it's not, they're not big ones. And I bet you for a lot of people, it's a much higher number. Don't you think you lie less right now? On the show? Well, I just, I have less interactions with people right now. So I lie less. Oh, um, great question. How often you talk to your mom and dad?

I talk to my dad once a, once a week, maybe, a little lot less often than that. Okay. How long are those conversations typically? Actually, fairly long, probably an hour every week or 10 days. Really? And so at no point you never said, Dad, I've got to go. I've got to do this thing and you really didn't know where else to go? I'm not saying I've never lied to my dad, but I think I lie less right now.

I talk to less people right now. Okay. So what you should do is you should bank these lies. So when we get back to a normal society, then you could just lie your ass off for, I guess, 30 to 45 straight days. I don't know the thought process. Do you buy my argument that the average person? and line three times a day? I think that's probably fair.

Three? Yeah. Yeah, I think that's totally fair. Because again, there'll be some days where you're just laying in the house all day, you know, talking about you can't lie to yourself. And then other day you can. You can? Yeah.

Give me an example. I don't need to go on a diet. Oh, no, no, no. I don't need to work out. No, that's just saying it, but you know deep down you need to. Yeah, but you're lying to yourself. Like I could say to you, I need to eat healthier. Yeah.

And I don't. Case in point lunch today. Chinese food is... Is someone healthy. I didn't pick the... I didn't pick the healthiest of all of them. Let's go to... It is anything that goes Friday,

so we'll talk about anything you want to. 7-13-212-5-7-90. Brian on 7-90. Hello, Brian. Hey. Hi. Thanks for taking my phone call. Nice to hear from you.

Nice to hear from you. So, lying. I tell a lot. that work all the time, I have to. Because if I don't, it's something I could get in trouble for. Oh, can you tell us one of those lies? Okay, let's say, you know, you have a meeting with the boss, right? And the boss says, hey, don't tell anybody this.

So now when everyone is asking about it, I got to tell some white lie. Oh, okay. So, and again, when I say lie, most of them probably wouldn't be terrible. but just you just figured that wasn't our movie no it was wasn't our movie oh it was called Liar Liar with uh with uh jim carrie yes classic classic movie so i didn't I didn't call about lying what else you got today

um so I wanted to ask you guys uh how you're celebrating Juneteenth celebrating Juneteenth yes sir um nothing per se Do you go ahead? Do you think that it is a day that should be celebrated more than it is? In these current times, absolutely. In fact, I would be in support of it being a federal holiday.

Me too. I completely agree. And me being from Houston, Texas, I feel like I should know way more about it as, you know, growing up, learning it in history. I don't think I remember one day mentioning Juneteenth in history class. throughout high school or middle school or anything. Yeah, I did find, it's funny, you're talking about this. I didn't realize that it became a state holiday in Texas since 1980.

And so these are just things you learn every day. I have watched a lot of shows about it this morning. I kind of was lazy around the house and just kind of watched. I didn't watch too much sports today because the Korean baseball team was on, and that just didn't do anything for me. So I watched a lot of today's show in the morning America. And so, yeah, I saw what people around the country doing. I'm a little deathly afraid of what's going to happen in Tulsa.

I think tomorrow could be a very disappointing day for America. And I hope everybody, you know, is, acts responsibly and doesn't act like a crazy fool. But yeah, today is a very important day. I applaud that sports organizations and a lot of companies are allowing a lot of their employees to be with their families and to talk about it and visit with friends and not that thing. But, I mean, I'm just not, I mean, I'm doing my job. So it's not like a celebration kind of thing. but I'm learning more about it. And like I said,

if there was anything that I've learned today that makes me want to say something about it is that I think that we probably should do a greater job of celebrating and overall and that a federal holiday would be a good idea for this country to kind of unify it on this particular day. I completely agree.

And thanks for taking my call. You got it, Brian. I just wanted to see what you thought. Yeah, we got it. Thank you, Brian, for the phone call. I appreciate it. Yeah, I'll be honest. I don't know much about it.

I know the event. but we're all you know look we're we need to educate ourselves about everybody I think it's part of the conversations that are happening right now it's just it's it's time to start asking more questions it's time to start learning more and you know it's our job to learn more about june 10th and and what it means to people and why it should be a federal holiday but it kind of feels like it's going in that momentum you know the biggest thing I've learned about myself in the last 10 years. And this is not necessarily, I mean, we don't, again, I don't like to get into politics because there's just going to be a way I lean. And doesn't mean I'm a bad person,

doesn't mean that if you lean in a different direction, you're bad either. But I always thought for the longest time that if everybody gets offended by something, we're going to be offended about something every day. And sometimes people feel that way. Like, there's a lot of people right now in Florida that are flipping out because you can't do the gator bait thing anymore. And I always thought, man, if we're offended about everything, then we're just not going to to do anything. But then I've come to realize that I don't think for a large part that people are bringing up things that make them upset and hurt intentionally. They're not doing it because they think it's important for them to say, well, I was the one that got that stopped. Yeah. I think there are

people that are bothered by a lot of things. And so what I've done is I've become more accepting as a human being about what bothers people. I don't know, Joe, 10 years ago, I would have been, I couldn't have been very easy for me 10 years ago to come on the radio and go, oh, they want to bar this, they want to bar that, they want to, you know, what's happened to our world? Do I find some things maybe a little over the top? But it doesn't today for me feel like I've got to come on my radio show or go on my Twitter account or tell my friends, life is over as we know it. Because there's just a lot of things that hurt people and offend people and offend some of you that are troubled by things. So I feel like today, and this is all honesty, by the way,

that I'm more accepting of what bothers people today than I was, say, maybe 10 years ago. Yeah, I actually, I remember growing up in Illinois when the University of Illinois got rid of Chief Wahoo. That was a huge deal because it was offensive. And I remember, even though I was young when it happened, I didn't really get it. And now, like, if they started just were like, hey, we're changing the names of all just... I feel pretty... Honey? Okay, Google play Sports Talk 790 on Iheart Radio.

Let me just get this out of the way because I don't want to build a three-hour show over a safety than 90% of you've never heard of. Jamal Adams is really, really good. He plays for a very bad football team. He has outperformed, you know that term, Joe, outperformed your contract.

Yes. He clearly, anybody that's an awesome rookie who's now awesome in his third year, outperforms his contract. But that's how contracts go. He wants a new deal. He's not happy the Jets are not giving him that new deal. And the end game on this is he has announced he would like to be moved to another NFL team. And he has brought up a bunch of teams that would like, that he'd like to be traded to. one of them is the Houston Texans.

Joe George, you get one reason and one reason why the Texans are one of seven teams, the techs that Jamal Adams would like to go play for. So I'll give you some multiple choice answers. Okay. Perennial playoff team. They are. Warm weather. Fact.

Good fan base. Yeah. Excellent Tex-Mex. Yep. There's a need for safety. Sure. He's from Texas. He's from Texas.

or the Texans give out ridiculously overcompensated contracts to players with years remaining on their contract unless you're DeAndrey Hopkins. It's the last one. Guys and gals that are listening, happy Friday team. This is so abundantly clear why Jamal Adams has the Texans on the wish list. It's because he knows the Texans will give him a new deal. Because guess what the Texans have done twice to players, even with more than the, one year left on the contract on the defensive side.

They've paid him. J.J. Watt, with more than one year left in his contract, got a ridiculously fat new contract. Our guy, Whitney Merciless, more than one year left than his contract, Joe, got a big fat new deal. Jamal Adams and his agent aren't dumb.

They know that the Texans always overpay for their players. They overpaying free agency, and they probably have overpaid for guys that are already under their contract, under their umbrella. Yep.

That's why he wants to come here. I think part of it's Deshaun. I do think there is some factor of if you look at his list besides being pretty good teams, or really good teams, honestly, it's Lamar Jackson, Dak Prescott, Deshaun Watson, Bartowell-Hawms, Carson-Wince,

Jimmy Garapolo, and Russell Wilson. There are teams that you would say are Super Bowl elite contenders. And these are the teams he's willing to go to without a contract extension. So, like, he's not saying he wouldn't, I mean, not to have a no trade clause. But, like, if he was traded to the Jags,

he would want a contract right away. Yeah. He's saying, let me play these final two years out of my current contract with any one of these seven teams. Yeah, I mean, if you're the Texans, you make the call

and you say, like, what do you want? Well, I mean, they have no first and no second in next year's draft. So probably be best to just give them the rest. of it, right? If you know that he's not going to sign a contract extension, he doesn't, they don't have a ton of value.

But someone without, someone that's not on that list will offer major draft capital for him that has the contract space. So all I'm saying is this. Should the Texans call? Absolutely. If you find out that Jamal Adams would like to maybe play for you, then you do, you and Easterby sit in Bill O'Brien's backyard and you figure out something, right? Absolutely.

I just don't know what they would be willing to offer. I just know that probably the Jets would really do very well in such an offer. Because look what the Texans have done in their other trades and they haven't won them. Imagine the Jets should be foaming at the mouth. And Jamal Adams should be foaming at the mouth because I can't imagine that Jack and Bill would bring in Jamal Adams with two years off on the contract and not ask him to sign a new deal. Because if you're going to trade, I'm assuming current players and or draft picks, you do not want to be held by gunfire like you were with Laramie Tunsell.

And honestly, at the end of the day, I think him and Justin Reed are too similar. And Justin Reed is younger. And way cheaper. And way cheaper. And even when he signs his next contract, he will be way cheaper. So I think you are also set at that position. This is to me, and again, I'm not on the inside on this. This is not about the Texans reaching out to the Jets.

It's that Jamal and I'm just like, see what Larammy Tussle got. Absolutely. I want some of that. I think every time you see a trade, the Texans are going to be involved now. Because teams know. They're going to win the deal. They're going to win the deal. And players know they have a high chance of getting paid more than their market value.

But the problem is the Texans are going to eventually run out of draft commodity trade picks. I know. You can't dangle what you don't have unless you want to give them a 2033 draft picks. Yeah. Lordy. Let's go to Addie in. the 409. Are you in Galveston, Addie? Actually, no, I'm around the

Belmont area. Oh, nice. Yes, sir. Actually, I had two things now that y'all were talking about the changing of names of football team, stuff like that. But my initial question was about the have y'all heard anything about

the line New York Yankees and the envelope that hadn't been unsieful? Yeah, that apparently, that will not be ultimately decided until August is what the first report I saw. So that's going to be a while. Okay. Good deal. Okay. My second one in debt, and I'll make this short and sweet too about like Florida State Seminoles and, of course, a little thing about the gators and stuff like that.

I went to high school at Fort Natchez Grove and our mascots to Indians. We've been the Indians for ever and ever and ever. Phillips was quarterback there, bum Phillips coached there back. in the day. Anyways, with that being said, and you can look it up too, we have our blessings from Cherokee Nation that says we don't want you to change your name. So, and you can look it up. Yeah, all I would say is, and thank you for the phone call, I would say is if someone finds something offensive instead of saying, oh, it's the most ridiculous thing ever heard in my life, or yes, let's change it immediately, do a little due diligence. And that was the very first thing.

Joe and I moved to Salt Lake City in 2004 was that was the very first thing that was a story as I was going on the air is that there were there were some not many and some is a relative term that would want that wanted the youths to change their name I went through this in high school in middle school and high school we uh going into my eighth grade year they made the decision the school district I went to made the decision to change from the Huntley Redskins right to the Huntley Red Raiders coincidentally about 40. minutes down the road, Adam Sager's high school where he went is still the Redskins today. Because it was a sum, not all. And our school district made the decision to go with the sum. And there said,

well, it's not enough. And we're like 30, 40 minutes away from where we actually grew up from each other. Same name, same everything. But it's just a lot of it was preference in those small areas. And that's what it's going to be. I think the Washington Redskins should change because I like what the Pittsburgh area has. I know this is a weird thing to like, but they're all black and yellow, all their uniforms. I think the Washington football team should be aligned in red, white, and blue with all the sports teams. You've got the capitals and the Nationals and the Wizards and they're all the same color scheme. And I think they should be, I like when the cities are uniform like that. I think it's cool. I had not even thought about that. Yeah. I think it's cool. Because you're all around,

I'm thinking about the nationals and the Wizards. And then the Wizards went to this weird color for a while, yeah. Like when Michael was there. Right. That like blue and gold thing. If you've listened to me for any period of time, I have not spent a lot of time talking about names, Braves, Indians, Warriors, Hawks, that kind of thing. The only name, and you can go back and listen to tapes if you ever wanted to, the

only name that I've ever found to be offensive is the Redskins. Yeah. And I've said that for, you know, the 10 years I'm on this radio show. The Washington Redskins should not be the Redskins. But again, I don't live in that world. I don't know what. what that culture is and what people think of up there. But from these eyes, it's been the most offensive name in sports, probably among all team names, team names and sports.

Not that I'm one of those people that watches over every team name, but that to me seems to be the one that's just needed to be changed a long time ago. Anything goes Friday, clearly. 1245, Sports Talk 790. 7132125. We come back, Ross, or, you can see, Ross. Joe and I are going to tell you what our fantasy five is at 2.30. This is going to be a good one, and I must win this week. There's no way in the world I'm letting Joe George win three weeks in a row.

1245 Sports Talk 790. This is Deep as a tackle DJ Reader. The Matt Thomas show continues on Sports Talk 790. Real Texans talk here. I like to be. I'll never see in an octopus's garden in a shame. the hell with both of you. This is a song that Joe George won the Fantasy 5 with two weeks ago.

Fact. I didn't realize you had that many friends in Houston that could help you buy a championship. God Almighty. Aye, aye, aye, y'all. All right. So the Fantasy 5 this week is kind of open-ended. Yeah. And it's the following.

past or present Best TV sports shows Past or present Fact or fiction Most of mine are Not fact of fiction

would be nonfiction Real life shows But there are some that are fake Anything that you would find On any television channel That is sports related Now here is the caveat Oh I forgot about the caveat

Oh, yeah, that's what the caveat's for. And you make sure, Brendan, that Joe stays on his accurate with this one. Once you pick a show off a TV network, you lose that network. Now, you and I are both going to choose, I'm sure, an ESPN show. The question is, what show are you going to pick? And what round are you going to pick that in? And by the way, you cannot go, well, that's on ESPNU. No, you choose an ESPN show.

you lose the entire family. I think I've stumped you. No, I... Because here's the thing. I have my ESPN show. Yeah. And I'm so excited about it, but I don't know when to take it already.

You have the first pick, or you're going to give it to me. I think I'm going to take the first pick this week. All right. So again, five different networks, five different shows, non-game-related.

Wait. What about streaming services? Sure. Okay, I'm just making sure. Absolutely. Yeah. But like if you choose on Netflix, is Hulu still available? Yes.

Okay. But if you choose Netflix, you've lost Netflix. I'm just, I'm just clarifying. Five different networks. Real or fake, past or present. So you've got a, the, you can cast the net wide open. And hopefully your list will be as, well, I was going to say, as woeful as it was two weeks ago, but it didn't matter because you had a terrible list and you still want.

You know, it's funny. the last two weeks in this studio that I'm sitting in right now. I have drafted, pre-drafted my list, and I've been crucified by the people in the studio. Yeah. And I'm 2-0. Yeah. It's awesome. That's because I think day drinking is a really popular on Fridays.

It should be. It's the best day to day drink. Yeah, I mean, I... Actually, I want all y'all to day drink. Just don't drive. I mean, there's really nothing better than day drinking before comfortable. The Nielsen ratings are out from this show. We are number one in day drink.

Our show has more day drinkers per capita than anybody else. We had a woman call. What was a few weeks ago? Are you here? I said, if you're day drinking right now, calling it. And it was this beautiful woman that called and said, yeah, I'm having a, she was having a screwdriver. Yeah. I can do that some of the other time.

Just do a, hey, if you're day drinking, what are you drinking right now? I feel like today with being a Friday with COVID going out and everything else going on, maybe we should day drink during the show. Would it really hurt the show? No, no, no, no. It could elevate it. Elevated. Now, again, I would have to drive home to King, which would be a pain in the ass, but you know what I'm saying? You can take a nap first.

Really? How long would a nap would have if I had, say, uh, four cores lights in between down and three o'clock? Well, you're a lightweight. That's what I'm saying. I don't want to spend the night here. Or you take like an hour. Okay. You can stay in the studio because the guys aren't here today. Oh, that's how I could nap here?

Yeah. All right. Paul and Clear Lake on 790. Hi, Paul. Is it Paul? No, it's Mike. I'm sorry. Hi, Mike. Yeah. Hi. I want to ask a favor of you guys because my memory's so bad.

I'd rather just hang up and listen after I put this short question and the reason for calling out there. If I get, I don't say interrupted, but if I get off course in the middle, I'll forget who I'm talking to. For example, my wings are sitting for me ready over there, and I'm afraid to walk over and get them

because I'll forget. We can laugh about that, but I want to tell you why I'm calling. I have a neighbor that played for the cold 45s, the Astros, the Phillies, and the Reds. at his career, early, of course, in Houston's baseball career, as it were, in Houston's baseball participation. I listened to him on the radio, and I became a fan, and he's an unsung hero.

He lives right around the corner from me, and I've never asked him too much about his career, because I have an idea. He's kind of like James Arnais. He kind of likes hanging off in the shadows and not making a big deal out of his career, and he's not doing too well right now. we're both about the same age. And I have a dilemma because I would love to help arrange to get him on just a brief talk show or something, maybe even just before the Astros start playing. Because, I mean, that's history. That's going back to Louis Passe and Gene L. Stone, you know, early Larry Dirker and Joe Morgan.

And I'm not exactly sure what to do about it. So that's the reason I'm calling. And that's also based on the question of what do. Tired athletes prefer to do than just fade away in the shadows. A lot of them get out there and be public about their donations and their volunteering and all that stuff. So that's me asking the question, and I'm going to leave it in your left. I hope I didn't go too far. Thank you.

What was his question? What do players do after they retire? Oh, oh, okay. Relax? working media sometimes lose all their money a lot of times lose all their money hashtag 30 for 30 broke

coach manage general manage some going to ownership some are all bad at all of those things most of them just fade away into oblivion like what do you think let me I'll do a little prediction game for you here what do you think when James Hardin retires

what he's going to do never hear from him again yeah we'll see him when he gets inducted in the Hall of Fame. Okay. We'll see him when Russell Westbrook gets inducted into the Hall of Fame. Maybe Kevin Durant. Okay. And I think that's it. Rajan Rondo, future NBA coach.

100%. May not be liked, but he's, he has the moxie. He's not hidden the fact that he wants to be a coach. 110% be a coach. I would hire him the day he retires. I've never heard great things about him. I know. I could be wrong.

But I just remember so vividly. I call that Rajan Rondo Chris Paul Spick game, by the way. Yeah. Oh, you did? Oh, yeah. I remember so vividly when Rondo was in, was taken on the Celtics in the first round of the playoffs a couple years ago. And the Bulls went up to nothing because he knew every single thing Brad Stevens was going to call. He knew everything.

He knew Brad Stevens' game plan better than he did. And the 8C went up to nothing on the Celtics. And then he got hurt. And I was like, oh, this guy, he's got it. But I do wonder if players would like him. I just because they hit him in Dallas tolerated in Boston and I think tolerated in Los Angeles for the most part Yeah I mean bra and wanted them yep all right that concludes the first hour of the show that was kind of a wine long ball question long Thought out question thank you for listening but I just didn't have a real good answer for you because again it's such it's casting a wide net

Second hour of the Matt Thomas show would you please Joe George update the audience on the baseball negotiations we'll do that to start the second hour Your phone calls are welcome. Clearly, it isn't anything goes Friday here on Sports Talk 790. 713212-5-790. 7-13-212-5-790. KBMEE Houston and my heart radio station. The Astros. Astros baseball.

The Rockets. Basketball. Your home for your home teams. This is Sports Talk 790 from the classic Chevy Sugarland Studios. Find new roads. is the Matt Thomas show. It is Anything Goes Friday on Sports Talk 790. 102 is our time.

If you'd like to join us on a variety of things. So far, we've had what do athletes do when they retire? We had a Juneteenth call. Yep. And there was something else. Oh, about names of sports teams. Yeah, but there's another question in there, too. That's what anything goes Friday is.

You call up for a topic. We'll try to address it the best of time. That's why we can. I don't think we're going to get a long, exhaustive conversation about whether or not Jamal Adams should be Houston Texan. There are other people that will spend hours at nauseam on that. If it happens, it'll be one of the greatest things ever for the Texans to do. But Jamal Adams is going to do exactly what DeAndre Hopkins is going to do.

He's going to come here with two years off in his contract. And Joe George, he's going to ask for the moon. Oh, he's going to ask for everything. Everything. And there's only one person that's going to get close to everything around these parts. his name is a Sean Watson. Well, Laramie Townsle already got everything he wanted. And Bill.

And, yeah, that's true. And Jack. Man, a lot of people get what they want. Woody Merciless got what he wanted. Nick Martin got what he wanted. Zach Cunningham wants this eventually? And that's what, and that actually, on the football reasons alone, I'm, I'm paying Justin Reed.

Okay. I'm paying Zach Cunningham. Sure. And that, to me, is more of a priority than Jamal Adams. Now, look, if you can convince someone, I saw some wannabe, Texas, website, try to claim that their source was Bernardric McKinney was offered for Jamal Adams, and the Jets nearly took the deal. Okay.

That's not happening. But if that was the deal, sure. For one year? Let me tell you, I'd be happy to have him trade because I just can't say his first name. Bernardric? Bernardic. There you go. You've helped me.

Why can't you say it? I don't know. For some reason, just a bunch of names. You're the PA announcer for an NBA team in which there are European players. Yeah. You know how I do to make sure I don't goof those up? Do you write them out? First of all, I fanatically write them out

And I listened to YouTube Before I start the game I did PA announcing for two years And it was rough What I mean rough? How can be rough? It's fun Yeah, it's not when you don't know the sports

What did you do PA for? I did volleyball Ooh For Northwestern And women's lacrosse Would you come do the PA for my daughter's volleyball team? Maybe Oh, you don't want to see what the compensation is

No, I think I'd probably do it Okay, thank you There's no microphone. You just a scream real loud. Oh, then no. Okay. I like my voice. But it was fun.

Actually, because, you know, Big Ten volleyball is really good. Oh, yeah. Penn State's one of the best in the country. So when Penn State would roll through, I had a great time. Like, it was fun. I love volleyball. It's one of my favorite sports.

And not just for the obvious reasons. But. God, they do slap a lot of ass and volleyball. They do. So besides that reason, it is a fun game. But when I did Women's Lacrosse, I realized how much I don't know about that sport.

Yeah. Number of hours you will watch beach volleyball between the months of June 15th and August 15th. During the Olympics? No, I'm talking about just in general. You're flipping the channels. Oh, not much. Oh, it's so good. But I'm an avid Olympic watcher.

Are you really? I love the Olympics. I love the Summer Olympics. Huh. I worked the Summer Olympics in 1996 in Atlanta. Two years later, the Goodwill Games, which are long gone. Those are the games that were created by Ted Turner and Turner. They asked me to do basketball, and I did it at Madison Square Garden.

They're like, hey, can you stay a couple extra weeks and do soccer? And I'm like, uh, uh, sure. Oh, how'd that go? It was easy as anything. You only speak when they score. Oh, yeah, that's not bad. So most of the games I did, like most soccer games are one-nothing or new zero-zero. So I just, I sat there, got paid, ate and drank, and was fine.

man maybe that's the life did you miss your calling doing soccer PA yeah we don't have to actually work you sit there and watch I literally sat there and watched because again they don't want you you don't really you don't identify

I guess you do identify a substitution but they happen so rare because they're permanent yeah yeah can you give me a hookup with like do you know anyone locally that can get me in there well you want to do the dynamo games I'll do the dash games or I'll do one of the other I'm sure they've already got somebody doing it though you want you want me to get someone fired so you can take the spot. No, if there's ever an opening. Oh, okay, okay. Yeah,

I mean, we don't have, we don't have a PA chat room, but I guess we could. Do you know the other PA announcers in town? I do. Are you guys like friends? Yeah, I don't know David Brady all that well, but we do follow each other on face on Twitter and Bob Ford and I have known each other for 20 years. Okay. Yeah, for sure. So, yeah, Bob's, man, I remember when Bob used to do an FM morning show. It was called crashing forward. I think it was on May have been 93-7 when it was the arrow. Don't hold me to that.

Or 107-5, one of those stations. I don't want to, but he did a client. He did a morning show for a long time. He lives in Galveston. He drives from Galveston to Minut Park every day, or at least when they were doing games. You drive from Kingwood every day, so. It's true.

Don't discredit yourself. I got here in 42 minutes today. Is that a record time? No, but it's definitely a little bit faster than the normal. What's your record? 30. Stop it. On a Sunday morning.

How fast you go? 80. Okay. But that's like Sunday 630 in the morning. That's not anything close to a normal time. That makes sense. All right. 713, 2.12.5.790.

Before we go, the phones on anything goes, Friday. Explain quickly what has happened in the last 24 hours with Major League Baseball, if you don't mind. The owners have rejected the player's proposal for 70 games. John Heyman, aka the owner's mouthpiece, has said the owners are not happy. and that Rob Manfred told Tony Clark the, wait, Tony Clark, Tony Perez. No, you're Clark's right. Yeah, Tony Clark. That 70 games was off the table from the beginning, even though that's what they negotiated with.

So right now we are at a whole lot of nothing since yesterday. And apparently they're not supposed to negotiate anything for several days. Yeah. How do you, how on God's Green Earth do you go several days when you have about eight days left before you scrap the entire season? You know, because at some point, Rob Manfred can just implement the season. So he can just implement a 60-game season. And the players are not going to sue.

You don't know that. But that's the problem. That's what they don't want, because the players, they did offer in their counter-proposal a waiving of the grievances. So now we just wait and see. But it does benefit the owners.

Now that the ball, because the players negotiated so quick because they wanted a 70-game season, right? At some point, if the owners take their time, they can be like, oh, we're out of time. We got to play 60 games.

We are running out of time. You were assuming a week for everybody to get to the cities in which they need to play in. Three weeks of spring training. Three weeks. You're talking four weeks. So four weeks from today would be about the 10th of the next month. And the proposal is for the players sent and the one for the owners was June 19th or June 20th. You mean July to start the season?

July. Yeah. Okay. So you're looking at 30 days, which gives them about seven or eight days left of true negotiating. So that means training camp, spring training two has to start by June 28th, a week from Father's Day. So they've got nine days to get to camp.

So really into that, you probably got five days of negotiation left. Yep. Peter Gammon said that he thinks he'll be done by Monday. I agree. Now, but Peter's old. I know. I still think there will be another offer today. By the way, if you guys not learn anything from baseball reporting, don't believe what John Heyman has saying.

John's not going to do the hard lifting, the heavy lifting. Yeah, I'm waiting for Rosenthal, tweet stuff. Yeah, Rosenthal. And look, even though he kind of teased passing, he's got the good beat. And droll like us too. Those three guys have owned it, Nightingale for a certain. Nightingale isn't about a thousand either. But those four guys are so much better than John Heyman.

John Hamon is just taking the PR releases or the flacks from the MLB office. What I don't understand is I still, I just, I can't comprehend how Rob Manfred said, we're going to have a season. Like, he basically left that meeting thinking they had a deal in place. And Tony Clark is like, no, we did not have a deal in place when we left that meeting. They fundamentally disagreed what happened in their meeting. Did somebody not take notes? Isn't there a third person that could say, I was there for this?

Is this what you all agreed to? This is what you didn't agree to? And why didn't they just get an arbitrator at some point? Yeah. Or just... Make a decision? No, because you have to collectively bargain. You can't collectively bargain through an arbitrator.

Arbiturator is going to rule on something. Yeah. All right. When we return, a caller online wants some dating advice. And I'm here for that. Is it Ross? And I believe so. I think Ross is probably sleeping.

POTUS has weighed in on Dr. Fauci. POTUS, as the kids would call him. And we have a Florida story that was sent to me by a listener that we don't do Florida stories on the show because we do non-flora stories. But it's such an asinine Florida story that we have to read it. 11 on the Matt Thomas show, 713212-579.

Back to your lunchtime champion, Matt Thomas. All right, it is Anything Goes Friday, and for those of you that do not know what that means, you get to call with about anything you want to.

The longest leash in Houston Sports Radio can be found on anything goes Friday. 713212-5790. 713-212-5-790. Alex and the Woodlands on Anything Goes Friday. Alex, good afternoon. Alex. Yes, sir.

I got a problem. I like women. Women, women, women, women, women, women. All right? I don't just like one. I like a lot of them, right? Okay. I'm flirting with this line where I don't want to be a play.

You know, I'm not a player. I just crush a crush a lot. You know, nothing major. Sure. But I'm trying not to be, you know, what a lot of girls would consider a player. I'm trying not to be an F boy. I'm trying to, you know, I'm trying to be just a normal guy. Correct.

That enjoys the company of women. Women, women, women, women. Yes. Women, women, women, women. Yes. So what's your question? What's the proper etiquette here? I mean, I'm dead serious.

What's the proper etiquette? Because you don't know the truth about girls. They won't tell you the truth. You have no idea what's going on. Their DMs are flooded. If it's a hot girl, she's got DMs all day long. Okay. You're never going to hear.

the truth about it. You're not, there's no way to be certain. Well, okay. Before, hold on, hold on, hold on. Why are you worried about what they're doing when you're not acting right either? I'm not worried about it. What I'm saying is if, if I know that you're playing the game, why can't I play a game as well? You know, I'm not, there's no sense in letting one person have fun and while you're sitting at home on the couch by yourself, you know, that's kind of, that's kind of foolishness to be realistic. I'm going to be realistic. I'm going to be realistic with you. Who's, who's asking you to change your ways? I'd like to know this. Somebody's asking me, I'm just feeling a conflict within that maybe some of the things that I'm doing aren't necessarily right.

Okay. How many DMs do you send a week? I don't send DMs. I find a girl that I like, and then we strike up a conversation or some sort of relationship of sorts. And I kind of maintain it, but the problem, what I've noticed with me, I think maybe it's something inherently with me that I'm a little bit selfish. Right. But I just don't have the attention span unless you're just knocking me out, unless you are the best thing since, you know, Wi-Fi, I don't know anything. Like, it's really hard for me to stay focused on one girl because, to be frank, I've had quite a few tens and 11s, right?

Throughout my life, I've just kind of, I'm fancy Matt when it comes to women. Okay. No big thing. Well, I know, I can respect your game, and I also respect your modesty. So I would just give you the advice because just what you called for advice is that I would not worry about a relationship at this point. You don't sound like you need one. You don't sound like you're overly interested in having one. I just think you feel guilty probably in your 24-hour day five to 10 minutes.

So if that's the case, then just keep doing what you're doing. Just make sure you're having proper, say, using plenty of protection and behaving yourself. And don't lie to the girls. If they're telling you they're searching for agency, so are you. What if they don't admit that they're searching free agency, but they are, they got the feelers in, they got their toes in the water, you know. Well, that's, they don't, if you're not telling them what they're doing, what you're doing, why should they tell you? Okay, fair enough, fair enough. Yeah, obviously, yeah, let's keep it all.

So let's let's just recap. Let's just finish off this call. How many girls are right now are you, are you kind of trying to balance? Okay, so right now I got like six. But truthfully, two of them, I think I'm friend zoning. and then the other four are not necessarily free agents, but they're definitely up-and-comers. Okay.

Why don't you do this? Alex, why don't you give us, now remember, free agency periods a long time. Why don't you give us a call in about 30 days? And let's see if this list has been paired down from five or six down to one or two, and then we'll address the next level in your relationships after that. But right now, you are very much a free agent. and I wouldn't settle down with the holiday, may I ask.

I'm going to be 34 in September. No wife, no kids, no divorces, none of that. What's the longest relationship you've ever been in? Six years. Six years? What happened to that? You know what? We started out way too young.

She needed to grow up. I needed to grow up. And we just kind of were toxic for each other. Right. In the end, it's good. It's a really good thing. And then I was single for a while and I dated another girl for three years. And again, she was just too young.

I was still kind of like trying to figure out my 30-year-old self. And so now I've been single for about a year and a half now. And it's pretty great. So again, yeah, so you just called to get verified. You didn't call for any change in life. You just want to make sure that I was okay with it. Yeah, you don't. Let me tell you, you don't have an internal conflict.

You're doing just fine. Unless you're just lonely. Unless you're like, I want to be with someone, I want to get married and have kids. If that's not running through your blood right now, then you're doing just fine. I think I would actually be completely content, either not having any or maybe just step in and step bad. Okay. So then let it play out naturally then. Again, 30 days, my friend, we'll call back, we'll call me back and we'll readdress.

I'll hit you back, man. Thank you, friend. Have a good. You got it. Like, I have a friend that will, Renee, you don't know. who this is. Okay. He's just a friend of mine. That is balancing five women right now at one time. Now, usually I divide when I hear that. So I hear six. I know every one of the five women he's. Okay. Now, they're not like

consecutive like Monday, her, Tuesday, her. It's five over probably a six month, six month kind of thing. Okay. So he's. doing it and he's conflicted but he doesn't feel bad he's enjoying the experience but he's like can I keep doing this and I said friend you need to keep doing this short of that age don't want to double you okay under 40 considerably okay I mean the physics of the matter I'm impressed with yeah because you got if you got five you're taking the weekends off no it's not consecutive but I mean he could oh this friend of mine

who I've known less than a couple of years. So I don't know every part of his life, but I've known enough in the last couple of years can rotate the five and all of them would be like, okay, what time? So I'm like, dude, you're not, well, I shouldn't say, okay, I won't say he's not 30.

Why are you worried about this? Unless you just don't feel like you can handle being with that many women at one time. Yeah, I mean, and again, he's not rotating. It's not like a herring. Mark sounded pretty content with his life. Yeah. Did you,

did you hear any angst in his voice? No, now when he said tens and 11, I was like, no, he's definitely hitting two and threes. When someone calls and says, I'm hitting tens and 11s, that usually mean you half that.

So he's hitting fives and sixes. He has so much confidence. I'm thinking it's using three's. I'll tell you this. The first month I'm on the radio here. This is going back over 10 years ago. Guy calls up and he's like, um,

my girlfriend and I have just started dating. We're big fans of the show. And we have this great conversation. It was kind of an, anything goes Friday. He sends me a picture of her completely nude in the bathtub. Stop it. Mm-mm. Yeah. Wait, but when you started doing radio shows, so you're like, do you mail it to you?

E-mailed. Okay. Yeah. Because it's not like you just Twitter DM it to you. No, no, no. That's why I was confused about it. Here's the girl I was telling you about, and there she was. And I'm pretty sure that she doesn't know that he sent me an email of her, completely naked.

She definitely doesn't know. No. And I haven't heard from that dude in 10 years. Maybe they just, maybe they were just a one-time deal. Yeah. Anything Goes Friday. That's a first.

Hmm. Of all the times, I've been a part of Anything Goes Friday, that's the first dating call you've actually got. I know. It's not bad. Not bad. 713-212-5-790. 7-1-3-212-5-790.

We have a Father's Day, highly-go-go-able edition of Believe it or not today, which, by the way, we call it Hell, Yerna. Does, Brendan, do you know how we play Hell Yerrana on Fridays? No, that has not been communicated to me. Well, it's very simple. Instead of playing, believe it, we just play, hell yeah. Just keep going over to the right.

You'll find the button. Yeah, there's some button will say, hell. There you go. I'm so impressed with you, Brandon. You've been able to find a lot of this show so far. It's very good. All right, 713, 2,1,2, 570. Really quick.

You know what I'll just tease it? I feel like there's going to be some layers of the story. Do you ever get stories sent from listeners? Like, hey, you should use this on their show. Yeah, sometimes that's how I get my non-Florida stories. Well, here's the problem. I got a story from a listener about something that happened in Florida that I can't really read on Thursdays and we do non-Florida stories. But since anything goes Friday, it's about Florida on Fridays.

Here's the line, and this will be the T's. Florida teen stung. over 600 times. Yeah. Stung? Stung. How do the bees? Sting this young man?

600 times? You'll find out next. 127 on Sports Talk 790. All right. One of the things that, Brandon, you'll have to learn about this show, is you will not be playing anymore, whatever these dragons are called.

Imagine dragons. But you know what? I deserve that because I gave a tease of something I cannot pay off on. Yeah, because you're fake news. So I'm reading this story and then I look at the headline where it came from and I'm like, I don't think this is a legit website. Oh, it's a website.

It's just not a legit news website. Yeah. So unfortunately, there is not a 14-year-old that got stung multiple times by a beat. One time I was doing a show with Lance and he's sitting in the chairman now and he was running through the story about something happening. Okay. And he's like, I cannot believe this happened. apparently, I think it was a story about a woman that got on top of a desk and dropped a deuce in front of a bunch of people.

Oh. And I'm like, this doesn't sound right. Yeah. And it wasn't. It was a completely made up story. Thanks. So my story, unfortunately, I have been hoodwinked and I have been, I've been, I got hooked by a listener that thought it could be a good non-flora story. And it was actually a Florida story.

So the story, which is not true is I thought I was going to read a story about a kid that got, nah, I forget it. I'll just say he got stung by putting. something of his in a beehive. His finger? Nope. His whole head? Nope. Well, sort of.

Yeah, sort of. 713-212-5-790. 7-1-3-212-5-790. Anything goes Friday. Do you always say something now? No, no, I want to go on something else. Give me anything else. I don't care at this point.

the show. You want me to direct the show. Yeah. I mean, okay, so let's do this. Jamal Adams has a new spot, of course. Tampa Bay. He added a new one? Yeah, Fieldy-eight says he added Tampa Bay to his list. Duh. Everyone's going to go to Tampa Bay. Let me tell you what Jamal Adams is doing.

He's just throwing names out there just to get some attention. Right? Yeah, I mean, he was pissed off. He almost got traded like a couple months ago. Or last year, I think it was. He was in trade rumors during the draft. He threw a little tantrum. he seems like a kind of a headcase he seems like the complete anti-texan do you understand but he said i love

you houston five days ago on twitter that's great love that just because you love houston doesn't mean you're going to love bill o'brien and jack easterby do you know if you get sideways with them you're not long for here the texans got rid of one of the best receivers in the game jemal adams is one of the best safeties in the game i believe it is a non-starter joe and if i'm wrong I will correct myself on the air. Yeah. But I think if you spend any length of time breaking down how Jamal Adams would be awesome for the Texans, you'd be right in the fact that he'd be great for the team.

But he doesn't fit the mold of what they're going to do, especially when a guy comes looking for a new deal with two years off on his contract. Yep. Because that's exactly, well, actually, Nuke was three years, right? Yeah, three years. And he wants to be the highest paid. Here's a little secret for y'all. You can't be the highest paid at multiple positions on one football team.

The Texans are going to have a top three quarterback paid, compensated player on their team. They're going to have the most expensive left tackle in the game by far. And they have already probably spent more money at the wide receiver position than they should. Aren't they top three in running backs paid between Duke Johnson and between? I think they're, I think, yeah, it's top three. I think it's Ezekiel Elliott. It might be Levyon Bell and then the Texans backfield.

Would you trade JJ for Jamal Adams? yes even though you have no pass rush as is you're going to go get some guys they're going to straight free agent the hell out of us a defensive lineman once camps open and that's where I wonder I doubt it I couldn't I couldn't you're going to try a guy's been the league for 10 years who's had three straight years of injury issues for a guy who's in the third year it's going to play out two more years but if anyone was going to do it it would be the jets like that's a jet's move let me tell you something j jay in new york chance of move his movie and television career up a little bit he would do it definitely i don't think j j j will finish his career with the texans

do you think he would ask for a trade or they would cut him i guess it really doesn't matter i think it's going to depend on how this year goes because if he doesn't play well i'd cut him i would cut him i know that sucks because like jay j's like do you think he's the greatest texin of all time but do you think that Cal would have the stones to do that? That's a cow move. That has to go way, that has to go to the very top of the food chain. Did it have to go to the very top with Andre? Yes. I bet you Bob was intimately

informed of every detail of the André Johnson situation, for sure. And because, if Bob McNair was involved or at least fully aware that like they were thinking about moving on from Andre, then maybe Cal would look at it at the same. But the thing is, JJ, when he's healthy, he still got it. Who meant more to the organization in their heyday? Andre to the Texans or JJ to the Texans? I think if your three-time defensive player of the year, double-digit sacks, you're JJ.

Yeah, and I also think there's at least right now, there's a debate if Andre Johnson is the best wide receiver in franchise history. Yes, and it took DeAndre five years to do that. Yeah, so I think that's where that's the difference. And I've said this before, and this was an unpopular opinion. And I love Andre. I mean, I'm a huge, huge Andre Johnson fan. It's going to take some work to get him in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

I really believe it. Do I mean that he's not going to get in? No, but I'm saying this is not going to be a slam dunk. First of all, wide receivers are very hard to get in the NFL, the Pro Football Hall of Fame to begin with, especially when you don't have the gaudy numbers that Andre said. He never had a 10 touchdown season. Yeah, I don't think he'll ever get in. I don't know if I'm ready to say that.

McClayne's going to have to push hard for him. But that's not with the pro football. That's a stupid way. to do it. I know. A beat reporter shouldn't be the one that's ultimately responsible about whether or not a player gets in. That is the dumbest thing the pro football, the pro football hall of fame does.

Andre should be a hall of famer. See, to me, they ruined their Hall of Fame when they put Terrell Davis in. Because I know he had like some peaks, but there are guys that retire today that or are going to retire soon that had far superior careers to Terrell Davis.

And you could say that guy's not a hall of famer. And I kind of view that with like Andre Johnson. He had a far better long-term career than Thrill Day. Well, here's the thing about the seeing-eye test for the Hall of Fame. Do you ever go? I'm building an NFL team tomorrow. I've got four running backs. I've got to put in my back built. Does Torell Davis ever make that list of anybody? No. Unless they're just a diehard Denver Bronco fan. And Torell Davis is really good. I'm not trying to discount who he is. But you could argue Peyton. You could argue Smith. You could argue Sanders. You could argue Campbell.

now Earl Campbell's not going to make everyone on the list, but he's going to make some list, right? The top 10, you know, you're going to, you could even make an argument for a guy like Frank Gore who just does it through year and year out and year out. But I don't know if there's ever a time that I'm in my bed at night thinking, I'm going to create this dream team NFL team, and Torel Davis is going to be on that list. Yeah, and that's where like with Andre, I just, I feel the same way. Like he's such a monumental important player to the franchise. but big picture

I just don't see it I don't see it I think he's going to have a very difficult time I'm not sure he lasts on the ballot very long yeah yeah and again that's not trying to be unpopular

that's just dealing the reality of we were talking about Chris Carter when a putsy he is like Tori-hole right right great see Toro Hill to me should be in the Hall of Fame no question he's not I think wide receivers

because especially during that type of offense and the fact that the numbers have gotten so out of control that it's very hard for receivers in this generation of NFL to get in because you have to just absolutely have the most mind-boggling numbers. And honestly, I know it was because he was a bad teammate and people didn't like him. But when you don't put T.O. in first ballot,

I think it makes it harder to ever put any wide receiver in right away, ever. Because again, you let personal bias, you let putts. He was a bad guy. Yeah. He was a bad media person. He was always got in trouble with this, not in trouble, but always got in conflicts with his player, with his teammates and whatnot. He probably was a coach killer a couple of times.

But from the stats, the pure numbers and the pure production, Terrell Owens should have been a first ballot hall of favor. He's one of the greatest wide receivers of all time. Ever. You know how you're having that dream team of I need receivers? Yeah. I can put him with Jerry Rice and be just fine. It's Moss, Rice, Tio.

Yeah. And if you're looking for the ultimate possession receiver, you probably go Steve Largen. Again, maybe it will pass people's time. But point being is you can even dream of a Steve Large of being in your squad because every time the ball was thrown to him, he caught the damn thing. But you're right. Moss, T.O. who's the third one?

Rice. Rice. I have Calvin Johnson in my list. Give me Calvin Johnson. Galvin Johnson is going to catch a ball for me. He just is. 713-212-5-7-90. Let's go to Jason in Laporte on 7-90.

Hi, Jason. Hey, how you doing? Good. Good. Well, to kind of salvage your attempt at a bee story, I have one for it, you want to hear it? Is it gross? Not really. All right.

I was like four or five years old. I was playing a vacant lot next door, and I just served the beehive. I got stung probably head to toe. I didn't count, but I got, I mean, every inch of my body pretty much had a sting. And, yeah, well, the good part is I have not gotten sick ever since. I have not had any type of infection. Wait a minute. You're telling me that a bee sting is like a, is an antibody.

It's like a pill to avoid future illness? I guess. I don't know. I haven't, I mean, I haven't gotten anything, really. How long ago was that? I was probably four or five. So how many, so do you have to go to the hospital or what? Yeah, we went to, well, we went to our local doctor.

And he said he'll be all right. I was sick for probably a day or so because that's so much to be venom in me. But yeah, I got some pretty much everywhere. Oh, I feel terrible for you, but you've given us a great end of your story, so I appreciate that. Yeah, I'm glad to help. See you later. Yeah, I'm not willing. It's like we were talking about on the show.

yesterday. Do you get the Rona now so you don't get it later? I'm good. I want no Rona period. If I get it unfortunately I'm going to get it. I just get stung by bees all the time as a kid. There was just like I had a bee in my mouth one time.

Scared the crowd. I was seven years old. I was in this music park in Ohio called Kings Island. Oh my God. I was a chili dog, a Coke and the bee just said, hmm, sugar and carbs. Let's go into Matt's mouth. Well, Matt Thomas is seven year old. Chili dog is still a go-to for you.

Oh, I love chili dogs. But I wouldn't intentionally go buy one. Why not? So when do you get a chili dog then? Making it home. You're a homemade chili dog guy. No, I mean, I would just take the, I would take, you know, a chili mix and put it with the hot dog to call today. All right.

But, I mean, we can go to James Cornell if you want to. I don't think I want to. I still haven't been there yet. The line's too long on the cheap hot dog days. It just is. 713, two, one, two, two, two, two. 570 713, 212.5. You ever notice we ever talk more food on this show than any other show in the marketplace?

I'm just telling you that's what it is. 713-212-5-7-90 through Twitter at SportsMT, at Joe George Radio, and at Brendan Riley underscore. Fantasy 5 is coming up in 45 minutes. The category today is, past or present, fact or fiction, best sports shows. that we know we don't count events but we count real shows that are on currently now or or sitcoms or dramas anything sports related it does not involve a sport event and once you choose a network you lose the network the rest of the time you've got to go with five different sports networks 144 on sports talk 790

good morning strippers shower with the matt thomas show wash out the glitter and daddy issues Anything goes Friday continues 149 on Sports Talk 7-9. We've had B stories today, dating stories today, stories about Juneteenth. George is smiling about something and that's beginning a naked pick from his girl. No, we got Alex tweeted out me and said he's not making up his tens and 11th. The dating guy. The guy just emailed or tweeted?

No, he tweeted. Did he really? Yeah, tens and 11s. Make about a quarter of my count. none of those numbers were exaggerated. If anything, they were underplayed, I had a thing for hairdressers. Now, that's interesting.

Okay, so let me, without being creeper, don't you think he has to prove it to us? Be honest and true, Alex. Just sent to at SportsMT. You got a picture? No, nothing yet. So why isn't he tweeting at me? No, he tweeted at SportsMT at Joe Jordan.

Oh, okay, all right. Is this one of those people you have blocked if you don't remember you have blocked. Yeah, I just blocked everybody. It's just easier that way. 713, 212, 5, 790. Yeah, let us be the judge of the tens and 11s. Because we're impartial.

If you're dating on 11, we'll let you know. But hairdressers, you know, it's funny. I have a lot of friends. Not that I'm bragging about it, but I just have friends that like to tell me stories. Okay. I have a friend who once again will remain nameless. And this person, again, I will not divulge who it is.

said that he went to a certain hairdresser here in Houston, and he would get a haircut and other things every time he went. Really? Yes. You know how you hear about going to the massage? You know, the deep-body massage? We've all heard about Robert Kraft. And then you get the happy ending.

Yeah. Apparently, it does work in the hairdressing industry as well. But again, how do you bring that up? That's a great question, because I would never have the guess. Because I haven't been to a hair, I haven't had my haircut in 15 years. You cut your own hair? Yeah. I use a razor in the, in the shower.

Okay. Yeah. How do you bring that up? Say, um, you did a great job with, with my, uh, sideburns and my head. And I always feel like you, I would like mess with people. Like if I, like, should we just start telling people like, hey, go to this place and ask this person for this? Oh, that would be cruel. And probably get you in trouble.

Why? I would have to think. What would it get me in trouble for? Because you're sending. people to a place that's basically asking for sexual acts after your haircut. Well, we'll just tell them, go ask Tina for the, for the special. Would it be creepy if I went to a sports clip just to have the massage and the shampoo on my bald head?

And you know how they rub the, you rub your head? Uh-huh. I'd pay $12 for that. Got my haircut through the day? It was weird because you have to wear your mask while you're getting your haircut. Okay. And like, they make you take off the mask and then hold, like, hold your, to your face. What?

So it doesn't fall off. So you keep your mask on at all times. That's how you get your sideburns. Because as they were cutting my hair, I was like, how are they going to get around my ears with this mask on? It's very confused. He's like awkwardly just like hold it, hold your face. Hmm.

So it ruined the experience, basically. It was just weird. Take your temperature when you go in and stuff like that. Okay. Doesn't sound nearly as entertaining as I did say 10 years ago. Was sports clips like a huge deal at first? I love sports clubs. I mean, that's where I always go.

Get the massage, the shampoo. I would, I one time went to a fantastic exam when I had hair and just got a shampoo on my head because I felt, you know, I was at lunchtime, and I wanted a little head massage of my hair. It's weird, Matt. It's not weird. It was, how much it cost $4?

It's kind of weird. This was like in like 19, got to be about 96, 97, somewhere in that range. So you just went somewhere to just get a massage in her head? Yeah, well, she shampooed it. Okay. It's kind of weird. Not that weird.

Uh, let's go to, uh, Jeremy and Antiqui Island, that's one of my favorite places. Hi, Jeremy, what's up? What's happening, man? Hey, I was listening and listening to this guy talking about dating and how unrealistic his story was. I almost changed it to 610. They realize 610 still sucks. Hey, hey, let's be nice.

Come on. Or are you lying, man. That doesn't sound realistic. I need to see them tagged on Twitter. All right. Well, this guy's got a Twitter account, so we'll get the Twitter account. Maybe he'll put a picture of one of his girls on there for us, and we can judge it. I'll be watching closely.

Next thing, just to rapid fire cover all the bases here, Jamar Adams is nuts if he thinks of Texans are contenders. Tell me when we've beat a good quarterback in a meaningful game ever. Doesn't happen. Well, in a meaningful playoff game, the answer is never. never and we can't even beat a team that's in a second in our division in a meaningful game whether it's anyway last up are we going to play baseball this year what are you what are you on it changes every other day thank you for the phone call my friend by the way our buddy who called the show

his we can say a Twitter account right he probably wouldn't mind right at casual underscore late And he, his name is Alex, and he says he dates tens and 11s. So I'm all for him verifying that. Are you scrolling as, are you scrolling his Twitter feed right now? Yeah, I'm trying to see if we can just verify ourselves. Because the problem is you're giving them time to send pictures. And we, but the thing would be able to take the picture with the girl. And then, because you can go find tens and 11s anywhere on the, on Instagram, right?

but it's about putting the you know your arm around her or you guys are sharing a glass of wine together something like that that's what you have to do uh but let's go back to mckeith and focus on the show don't worry about the damn pictures i'm focused uh are we playing baseball this year yeah yeah we are definitely they let me tell you something he's rob manfred is not taking the company jet to phoenix to sit in a four-hour meeting in a hotel room he's probably paying for in order for that they're doing not to be done. Because Rob Manfred knows if he can't get this thing negotiated, it's probably going to cost him his job in the long term.

Because no one's going to be happy if there's no baseball season. Regardless of what they're fighting for, at the end of the day, nobody gets paid. So yeah, there'll be a season, but I'm, I just, Joe, I can't get past the fact that they're arguing over 10 games. I know. $8 million for 10. It must be something so incredibly drawn a line in the sand. I'm not changing my stand.

because Rob Manfred took two seconds to say no. Yeah, it's something else besides the games and the proposal. I just don't know what it could be at this point. Well, I mean, there was a story written, I think it was Yahoo that said, hey, you can't split the difference. You know, you and I negotiations are where we split the difference. Yeah. They don't want to split the difference. That it's going to just want 60.

Well, I think, yeah, what I think they probably would go to 62. If you're not going to split it and have it and call it Habsies, because you can't play 65, we'll make an odd number of games. You go, and maybe 66 is too much. Remember they say, we'll give 62 in full proration. But man, oh man, oh man, they are really waiting to the very last second.

And as I mentioned a few days ago, when and where, the phrase that has been able to basically get, I think, a lot of America on the side of the players. The players are of the resolve, but there will not be an 80 games season. There won't be a hundred game season, and there will not be, you

know, a chance to make most of their money. They just said, look, we're done negotiating. Let's just go play. Yeah. And I think that's why I think a lot of fans have gone to the other direction and said, all right, maybe it's more about what the owners are doing as compared to what the players are asking for.

We've actually gone away from COVID talk for an hour, so we're going to update you on everything. You ready? Here we go. Some NBA players, according to our buddy, Mark Medina, who was on the show a couple days ago, skeptical of wearing devices to be used inside the bubble, meaning they don't want to be caught.

Right? Well, there's that rumor from CNBC.com that everyone was running with with this ring that would tell you three days in advance of if you have COVID symptoms. If you have the virus, I guess. All right. So we have that. We have the Tampa Bay Lightning leaving their facility and their practices because of COVID outbreak. we have the Toronto Blue Jays who are working out in Dunedin

which is a suburb of Tampa they're also breaking up because of a COVID test you've got a PGA golfer right right now on the tour who says he's got it and they're still playing right now and they're still playing you've got the Philadelphia Phillies

had eight positive tests in Clearwater which is suburb of Tampa as well they're saying that the Blue Jays player was probably working out with one of the Phillies players so we're talking about one section of Tampa, the east coast of the west coast of Tampa, excuse me. All those positive tests are in Florida. Yeah.

The PGA tour, everything. PGA, Tampa, Phillies, Blue Jays. So I asked you off the air, and now I'll ask you on the air. Any concern that what's going on in Florida could stop the bubble. And I'm going to give you my off-the-air answer on the air. If you're going to take these people, these players, these staff, coaches, whomever is going to go to Florida. And you're going to test them

just before you leave. You put them on the bus. You take them to the airport. You put them on the highly cleansed plane. You land. You test them as soon as you land. You stick them in a room for three or four days. They don't have to come out and play.

Okay. Tell me where they're going to get it. I agree. So my answer to you is, if you get on that plane and on that bus and everything is cool, I would think that bubble, the NBA bubble in Orlando, will be the safest place on earth for you. Yeah.

See, my biggest questions are like... Or I shouldn't say it on Earth, but what a very safe place. Sure. I mean, I still think like football is going to happen on time, baseball is going to happen as is basketball, all that. The PGA tour is going to continue. The hockey is going to play their playoffs. Some of my questions are more just Martin Maldonado asked this question on social media.

of what if I test positive in L.A.? Like, you can't go. So he's stuck in L.A. Yes. So are the rockets, I guess tell him I'm going to have to, if a player test positive here in Houston. They're not getting on the plane. But are they going to be allowed to go later?

Yeah, I would think so because here's the thing. Yeah. They want everybody there weeks in advance. Yeah. So it gives them, in my feeling, again, I'm not running this, but it gives me the feel that if somebody tests on July the 7th or 8th or 9th, it doesn't preclude them from playing for the year because the game's on sort of the 30th.

It just means that they're going to be behind in the protocol. And they're going to be some training camp and stuff. But eventually they will get it on the court. It would be like being sick in school and having to go catch up on your schoolwork once you got back here. Definitely. Am I wrong?

I mean, you tell me. No, I think you're right. Okay. All right. We mentioned yesterday Dr. Fauci was not, he didn't help the NFL out, did he? Can you find the exact tweet on that so he can read it verbatim? Because I want to tell the audience what we're talking about.

By the way, if you want to join us here, we're with you until 3 o'clock. Bottom of the hour, we play the Fantasy 5, which is best television shows involving sports. Yes. Once you pick a show, whether it's real or make-believe, you lose that channel, which makes you think about what you're going to choose from ESPN and when you're going to choose it. Yep. 713212-579. So Dr. Fauci, 713212-5-790. Dr. Fauci says that at the NFL doesn't go to a,

bubble system, much like what the MLS are doing and what the MBA is doing, that he suggests that they don't play football this year. And again, that's a paraphrase. A lot of people are saying that's conflicting what he said earlier. A lot of people saying he doesn't have the, he doesn't have the net facts and know-how. Again, when Dr. Fauci speaks, whether you completely agree or the not, he does gain attention. I mean, if there has been a man who has been the face of this disease and where we go for advice and information, it's Dr. Fauci, right? All right, so our beloved president the podus

said what do you want just the Fauci part of the tweet or the whole tweet whatever you think is good for the show Tony Fauci has nothing

to do with NFL football Are you trying to do Do an Are you trying to do impersonation of him? No Why don't you try to read like two sentences

like that Okay No I don't do impersonations All right Go ahead So Tony Fauci has nothing to do

with NFL football They're planning A very safe and controlled opening those are his first two sentences. Okay, that sounds good to me. Everything's fine so far. However.

Oh, geez. I hate when you go to however. If they don't stand for our national anthem and our great American flag, I won't be watching. Why they're in the same tweets, I don't know. But he's addressing two issues and one, I guess. So when he tweets something, I like to sometimes look at the replies. I have muted the word Trump. And so I see none of them.

You go to my Twitter and I have muted the word Trump. I don't see any responses. I mean, zero responses. So I have to unmute that response to see what the response is. That's how much I don't like to play politics on my Twitter feeds. So how is he doing so far? It's not great. Why would he bring up those two things in a same argument?

Yeah. And you're also kind of discrediting your main epidemiologist. You can't. matter of fact, don't say anything at all. But now, the NFL's responses were interesting from their chief medical offers. They basically were just like, we're preparing to play a season to start the season on time, but we do carry the weight of what he says. Like we do understand.

This is the right thing to say. Yeah. Because as much as we respect Tony, I don't want to call him, Tony, Dr. Fauci. Tony. He might not have the definitive answer. Well, he also, like, he's wishy-washy. the best way to put it is I saw Adam Klan's best friend

John Middokov say that Wait a minute, does John Minnokov follow you? No. Do you follow him? Yes. So he doesn't block you? No, he doesn't block Klan either. Oh, they're non-blockage now.

They never were because they wanted to fight with each other. Oh, okay. Continue on. I'm sorry to know. So, but John basically said that Dr. Fauci is like the perfect sports TV post where just throws a bunch of things against the wall and sees what sticks.

Oh, I believe that I believe that if Dr. Fauci goes on Fox News, he's going to give you one different set of replies as compared if he goes on CNN. Yeah. So just for me, it's just, it's wait and see. Like, let these leagues go with their protocols. Let's see what happens.

And, because my, my whole stance has always been, if there's not a vaccine, are you shutting down forever? So what is different between, specifically for the NFL? You have still September 10th. And he's also the king of,

we need sports in our society. Yeah. He has done. on that. I know that for sure. He definitely has. So, like, at what point do you just play and see what happens first, and then if it's a disaster, you can

shut it down and prepare for next year? Because, like, baseball, if they shut down this year, because the virus, they're still going to play in 2021, but they can learn so much from trying this year. Like, you just, you got to play. I never want you to utter the word shutdown anymore this year. I don't think they'll shut up. Because let me tell you

something, the NBA is going through exhaustive, exhaustive measures. and you would hate for all this hard work to go to send people down to Florida for this thing to be shut down because of a massive out. Yeah. If there's going to be a shutdown, frankly, if you were to name a sport that would have a shutdown, it's college football. Exactly. First of all, way too many teams. No regulation.

No regulation. And the Alabama athletic program can spend more money in time on testing their players way more than, say, Louisiana Monroe. Mm-hmm. how did we let this happen in college football that there is such a discrepancy between the richest college program and the poorest one? It's weird. And even just between like the schools and their conferences are just not aligned on anything between the money they make, how they're going to go about these protocols.

It's just, it's weird. The whole process. Like everything about college sports is bizarre. How the NCAA can say we're canceling March madness. but they basically have to admit out loud that we can't stop college football. We have no power because it's not an NCAA sanctioned championship. And the lack of balls that the NCAA has by basically about a month ago saying, we're going to leave it up to each individual conference.

Oh, there you go. I never thought I would want the day where we would have to separate the NCAA into the haves and have-nots, but maybe it's better off that way. Because I think if you frankly, if you get a governing body that really, really does look out in the best interest of the teams. It would be one thing. But if you're the, if you're,

the NCAA can't treat Auburn, the same way that they treat, um, Utah State that you can't. And that's why it's, it's all so different. Like, and that's where I'm just,

I'm so fascinating to see how all this is going to play out when they start paying players. Just like, just the local mom and pop car dealership. There'll be no regulation. There'll be no regulation. I mean, I know there's a lot of people that want it out there

badly. I go, I'm such a fence setter on that. Because my biggest argument is, and nobody ever likes my argument because they disagree with me and they always give me this sound foundation. Like, I've always said, you pay the players, you pay it running back, the star running back, the offensive line who's not nearly was well known gets nothing. How is he going to feel about that? Yeah. But no, Ross and I argue about that all the time. He's like, man, that's, that's, that's free enterprise. It is free enterprise. But my argument to that was, is that, well, that's how it works in the NFL, but that's a for play position. But what is what does the quarterback do that makes the most money on the team?

Every Christmas. Buys stuff for his buddies. New grills, new TVs. Right. What are the running backs going to buy pizza for the team? Because they ain't making that much money. Well, I'm just telling you. You got to take care of your boys, though.

The one argument I have. And no one can ever give it to me is that if the running back gets to go sign autographs at the local barbecue place and he's going to take a ticket. check for $1,000, and those linemen who are dying just for a pizza for their girl, can't get it. How hard are they going to, are they going to be resentful towards that running back who's making that money? If the guy's pompous, yes.

Oh, so only if he's not pompous. If he's a good teammate and a good person, I think they'll be all right. Shed them, shut out some of that money? Yeah. But I don't think he even has to do that. Just be a good teammate, be a good person. It'll be all right. If you're a jerk, if you're not liked in the locker room, and then now you're making

money, why would I block for you? Yeah, sorry I missed that block. Sorry you lost nine yards. and sorry that you got that appearance at Walmart canceled. Yeah. So that's where I do think it is, you can see some of the pettier stuff coming to play with college. I think so. In the NFL.

2.15. We're 50 minutes away from the Fantasy 5, the category today. Best non-sports events, sports shows. Past or present, fact or fiction. Give us a wide umbrella to throw, a wide net to throw it. It should be good. We'll have it for you. We need judges coming up in 15.

Right now, a message for Shaw's Jewry. They've been serving. No fear, no worries, and no hair. It's the Matt Thomas Way. Houston Sports Talk continues with the Matt Thomas Show. Got a Twitter read from a listener of the show, who does not mention who his name is or what he is, but he says, I got a story to tell you.

We're talking about dating on the show today. We have. By way, happy Father's Day to myself. I'll give myself a look. I've raised three good kids. about when my son Cameron turns 20 tomorrow. I got a dog. You know what my son Cameron and I've been talking about

for about four years now, ever since he was old enough to have somewhat grown-ass talks? Yeah. Not sex, you're thinking. I told him for his 21st birthday. I would pay for him and his buddies to come to Vegas. Oh, yeah, you said, I can come.

Yeah, and you're going to be, you'll be one of the body, not bodyguards. What do you call watch people? Terrible influencers? You probably would be one of them. I mean, seriously, you're going to bring Ross... Shaperone. Shaperone.

That's a dumb idea. Well... You're going to have Ross and I chaperone, your son in Vegas? No, we're not going to see them. We're just basically there just to make sure they don't get any trouble. Are you kidding me? I'm not going to follow a bunch of 21-year-olds that are virgins in Vegas?

Oh, hell no. All of them are virgins? No, I'm talking about virgins to Vegas. I don't know if they've had sex or not. That's why none of my business to tell you that anyway, if they did. Point being is this. Because when I went to Vegas for the first time I was 21, I stayed at the, I stayed at the Tropicana.

That's how bad it was. I've only been a Vegas one, so. I think I've been 34 or 35 times. For real? I have the list here. Let me check. Point being, let me go back to this Twitter feed first, and then I'll talk about the Vegas thing. Oh, no, I'll do, I'll do camera first.

So Cameron's 21 extra. So he and I've been talking about this for three or four years. So that's one of the things we're excited about because this year, tomorrow Cameron turns 20. Okay. Next year it'll be 21. And then we said, we're going to go in the fall. because he wants to bet college and pro football over there too.

That makes sense. So even though he turns 20 tomorrow and then Father's Day is a day after, we're going to celebrate his 21st birthday, which will be a year from now, in Vegas and October. All right, this comes from a Twitter person, not on Twitter, or not available for his name. I had a friend that started screwing a stripper. Hmm. She started liking him, and he had a girlfriend follow him home from the PI that's Palace in after their session.

They're calling him sessions. One weekend, she got drunk at 2 a.m., drove to his house, confronted him and his wife telling her about the affair. Ouch! You can't have that. You never bring the strip, you never tell the stripper where you live, right? Never! You leave her at the PI! I've never been to a strip club either, so.

Ever in your life? Never. Brendan, you've been to a strip club? I have not. Can I tell you all something? And people know this. They're way overrated. That's why I've never gone.

It doesn't honestly even really appeal to me. I mean, it used to be because I was poor. It hasn't changed too much. But I just, no, I just, I lost the interest. I have some friends that love them. One's listening to show right now. It's up. So, and I won't say who you are either.

I got a lot of friends that. I live a saintly left compared to my friend. I just do. Yeah. But what are we going with this? What color is your mulch? Excuse me? What?

Oh, shirt clubs, overrated. Because what they do is they're going in there and they're asking for your money and they're going to fake a friendship with you. They're going to grind on you for anywhere between $25 and $100, depending on how good the grind you want. See, and you know what? It's different than like a cute bartender or a cute waitress. They sit down with you, talk to you. They're just there for the tip.

Excuse me? Point being is this. If a buddy yours gets married, either one of you, and they say we're going to a strip club, go. Okay. Because you can drink and it's something expensive, but at least it's, it's for a good reason.

It's a bachelor party. Yeah, it's a celebration. My wife does not like me going to strip clubs and I have not been to one in at least a decade, maybe even long. I have not been one since I've been back to Houston, put it that way. So that's at least 10 years.

But she said, look, if one of your buddies gets married, like Joe, if you were, if you had invited me to your wedding, and they would have invited me to your, the forehand bachelor party, I would have gone with you. We didn't go to strip club, though. Would you all go?

Since Austin? Just hung out? D drank, a bunch? That's the right thing to do. Because here's what happens. You wind up going to a bar, having a bunch of drinks at a high price. Then you go and you say,

let's go to a strip club, and you wind up getting a couple of dances and paying higher prices for that. And then your testicles are a certain color. And then you wind up going on an eye hop and eating a bunch of fattening food at 3 a.m. in the morning. We spent about $300 a night and you got nothing to show for it, except

colored testicles. And not a lot of money. And no money. You've been drained. So what are your expectations when you take your son to Vegas? Are you expecting to be like a... Father's son? Oh, hell no. He's bringing three buddies.

Wait, but how do you want us to chaperone if we're not going to be... It's just a weak excuse for you to come with me. Okay, I'm just making sure. No, what we have to do is basically they have our numbers. And if there's a 911, we have to go out. And if there's a problem, we have to go pick them up. Like I told, I said, I told camera, I said, you're not going to want to go to the clubs because clubs are not meant for dudes.

Are they bringing bailout money? No. No, we're not bailing anybody out. So we're leaving them there. No, I've been to Vegas 35 times. I've never been arrested. Yeah, but they're turning 21. So I was there when I was 21.

I didn't get arrested. Now, he's going to be intelligent and make sure all of his friends that come are 21, right? Right. Right. Everybody has be 21. Because like that would be the worst. And I'm going to get them like a, I'm going to try to get them a suite.

So I just gets one room. And they're just going to go in there and sleep. They're not looking at like when I need a room, you know, my lifestyle at this point in my life, Joe, I need, I need great accommodations. They just need a place to sleep. But I'm going to show them how to play blackjack the right way. We're going to show them how to make a bet and watch games. Have a couple of pops, no cars, Uber everywhere. Good.

But yeah. Next fall. You and the three of us will do our own adult thing. And we'll let the four voice. I have one request. What's that? I would really like to go to a game at the new Raiders Stadium. But here's the problem with that.

I know. That's going to tie up your whole day. The only way I could see us doing that is if we stayed over for like a Thursday or a Monday night and the Raiders are playing one of those two days. Does it matter if they play the Texans or not? No, because they won't play the Texans for like four more years. Okay. Yeah, let's just do.

We should pick a weekend where the Raiders are playing on a Thursday or Monday or a Sunday night because we don't want to be in a stadium. Yeah. My whole Sunday. Yeah. All right. Ladies and gentlemen, it's one of my favorite parts of the week,

although the last two weeks have absolutely sucked. They've been the best. They've been the worst. It's time for the Fantasy Five. Here's how it works. Joe is going to try to be a three-peat winner in as many go around. I don't know how this is possibly going to happen, but it is. We need you to judge our Fantasy Five.

The category today is all things, non-sports events that you would watch on television. Any sort of television show. pass or present, real or fake, that you would watch. And once you choose a network, you lose the network the rest of the way. So you've got to be careful of what show you're going to pick. We need five judges. If you like the judge, help us. 713-212-5-790.

7-1-3-212-5-790. We need five judges for the Fantasy Five. It's next on Sports Talk 790. When you get home, Alexa, play Sports Talk 790. 790 on I Hard Radio. Around here. Cetchup and mustard is not just for hot dogs. Seth back shoots for three.

Got it! Sports Talk 790. Home of Rockets Basketball. All right, here we go. It is time for the Fantasy 5. Your opportunity to hopefully dethrone Joe George as a two-time champion. The category today. Best all-time television shows on networks, cable, streaming over the air, real or fake shows, past or present.

The only caveat is, can't be a live sporting event, obviously, can't be the Bucks versus the Blazers, can be a Lakers Celtic series of the 80s. And once you choose a network, you lose the network. nervous. So, Joe George. I have won two in a row, and both times I have deferred. Because I feel like there's a strength in picks two and three. So I will defer again.

And Matt Thomas, you can have the first pick in our fantasy five today. Okay. I will go with a real-life show that is currently on television as we speak. Well, not currently because of the pandemic, but generally speaking, would be on. This is a show that you have to take what their opinions are with a grain of assault. But it's often controversial. It's heavily opinionated. And it's really funny.

And it's probably one of the rare pre-half and post-game shows that you don't want to miss. I think of, and I'm taking TNT off the board with Inside the End. NBA. Your number one pick is inside the NBA. This is not how this is going to go. Okay. Well, I'm going to go to the four-letter network. Ooh, you're burning your ESPN bridge already.

I am because it's such a wide category of a television show. There's also a chance you might tell me this doesn't count. My first pick is 30 for 30. Sure, you can count. Okay. The 30-for-30 series. The 30-for-30 series is my first pick. Okay.

So there goes my ESPN. Okay. That was tough because my other ESPN choice was... There are... I had two ESPNs and one of them was not 30 for 30. Okay. Continue on. My next pick, let's go to NBC.

Hmm. I went more than non-fictional. Okay. Or the fictional route. It is arguably a great movie. It's a better TV show. show. Clear eyes, full hearts,

can't lose. Friday night lights. It's over. It's over. Don't be cocky. It's over. Don't be cocky. He's dead.

Shut up. That would have been my number two pick. All right. I get the next two. I will go ahead and burn my ESPN. Okay. And I'm going to stay with the, I'm right talking about those very few pregame shows that I'll watch.

Are we going to another pregame show? There is a pregame show that America gets up Saturday morning at 8 o'clock and watches for three hours because it is the best pregame show pound for pound

commentary stories, live updates. It is the goat of pregame shows in the history. Now, again, I think NBA inside the NBA is more entertaining but for the entire package, I'm taking ESPN's

college game day. Can I tell you what my other ESPN was real quick? Sure. It only lasted a year. I almost took Playmakers. And you would have lost 150 to zero. That show was so good and so accurate. The NFL shut it down.

Okay. I'm going to go burn my HBO and I'm going to take one of the first. funniest sports television series I have seen in my life. It is foul. It is funny.

It meshes Redneckville and minor league baseball. I think of the comedic genius that is Danny McBride. And I say East Bound and Down. HBO. So I've lost HBO. Okay. I'm going to go to

my next two picks. We're going to go to FX first. Ooh. All-time comedy in the beginning fell off at the end a little bit. But I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's one of my favorite things

about football season. So yes, I love the TV show about fantasy football. I'm going to take the league. I have never watched one episode. Okay. I'm going to wait on my lap. You're next again, my man.

I know. I'm trying to figure out. I'm going to go documentary series for this next one. Okay. We're going to Netflix. It's only been three seasons, but the characters have been so controversial,

and it's been fun to watch, and it's been interesting. The stories have been great. I'm going to go from Netflix, last chance you. On my list. Not high in the list, but on the list. Okay.

I'm going to go to the USA Network because I get the entire series. I don't like it now because I can't relate to 175 pound wrestlers. And I can't relate to 80% of the women that are on the show now, except Charlotte Flair, who is just a busty goddess. But you give me the Raw Library with Degeneration X, Stone Cold, the Rock, Vicky Guerrero. I'm taking Monday Night Raw

and I lose my USA Network. Okay. Last pick. Next. I'm going to go ABC sitcom, past tense, early to mid-90s, Minnesota State University.

Ring a bell to you? No. Save by the bell? No. I know. Coach. I never watched Coach. Great, great show about Minnesota State University

and their rise from a small school to a powerhouse college. I loved Jerry Van Dyke's character. I loved all the characters. But I'm not a reciter of lines in the movie, but if you sat down and watched Coach, you laughed your ass off for 30 minutes about a variety of things. And sometimes it was about football, but mostly it was about all the coaches hanging out.

And by the way, the tall coach is Squidward's voice, right? Squidward's voice, right? I think so. Yeah. I think so. No, it's Pat Star. No, not Pat Star. It's Patrick Star.

Who's the, who's the, oh, God, I'm mixing him up. The tall character and coach is one of the characters on SpongeBob SquarePeds. You know what I'm talking about, but I'm going with Coach. Okay. So, my wrap up is inside the NBA, college game day. Yeah, he voices Patrick Starr. He does Patrick Starr. William.

It starts the Nuff, I don't know. That's fine. Eastbound and down. Night Raw and coach. Okay. So I have so far, 30 for 30, Friday Night Lights, the league, last chance you. And? And my final pick, I'm going to Spike TV, and I'm really not sure what I'm picking.

Both were very short runs. I'm going to go Blue Mountain State. I've never seen that. I'm going to go Blue Mountain State. What is it about? College football, drinking, sex, partying. Real show? It's a TV show.

I mean, but it's fiction. It's fiction, yeah. Okay. Yeah, Blue Mountain State is my last week. Is it recent? Is it on currently? No, most recently it was a movie on Netflix. Like there was a follow-up movie.

But it was like two or three regular seasons. Okay. So let's recap it once again. By way, we need judges. 713-212-5-790. 7-1-3-212-5-7-90. Who has a Better Fantasy 5 list? Joe George, 30-for-30.

Friday Night Lights, the League. Last Chance You, Blue Mountain State. I have inside the NBA, college game day, eastbound and down, Monday Night Raw and coach. All right. You feel confident, don't you? I don't know. I'm not even going to ask Brendan, because Brendan, you are the seventh vote, my friend. So do not announce what you're going to say if we need you.

713, 212.790. Sean on 7.90. Sean who wins the Fantasy 5, me or Joe? I'm Matt. All right. Thank you very much. Have a great weekend. One nothing.

I don't feel good about this. Takes four to win. Mike on 790. Mike who wins a fantasy five, me or Joe. Oh, you smoke you, Matt. You smoked you, what? Thank you very much. Have a great weekend.

Wonderful weekend. Happy Father's Day. I don't even know if anybody knows what Blue Mountain State is. Line three, Sam on 790, Sam, he wins a fantasy five. Me or Joe. It must be my birthday because you got three in a one. Oh, Joe, look at me. stare at this face.

I'm been swept. You're not going to get so. You can win four in a row here. Yeah, I don't. First time I beat you, I was down three to one. Yeah, all right. Line four. Come on.

John, on 7. Johnny John, who wins a fantasy five. Me or Joe. First of all, Playmakers was the greatest show ever. That's so good. Joe for Friday night life. Okay, you got one ball. Hey, it starts to streak.

Playmakers was really good for a season. I loved Playmakers. Did Ballers enter your thought? It was on my list. It got so bad at the end. The last two seasons of ballers were atrociously. When they had to rewrite the entire show because the Raiders actually moved to Vegas, it was terrible.

Line one, Matt on 7-90, who wins, me or Joe? Matt, you win. Thank you very much. Happy Father's Day. Take the L, son. I'll take that L. Let me get one more before we get out of here, because I'd just like to see how closest would have gotten. Daniel on 7-90, me or Joe on the Fantasy 5.

hands down, Matt Thomas, clutched it with coach. That was fantastic. Thank you, friend. Appreciate it. I had to put you in your place. This is what we learned today. And the Nielsen, Radians, Men's 25 to 54,

your listeners are closer to 54. I have Monday Night Raw on here. I have inside the NBA. That's not, that's on 54-year-old Washington. 30 for 30, Friday Night Lights, The League, last chance of you, Blue Mountain State. I can see your producer. Yeah, I agree.

I thought Joe blew you. away. So I think that reason. Well, guess what? Your vote on the council, suck it. That's what I'm talking about. These 20-year-olds, seriously, I like when the other person wins because I just like me to tell people to go to help. I didn't have to. One person

thought your vote was good. Was your list was good? Just one. It just shows you how warped yours was earlier. I should have retired it to it. Believe it or not, is up next.

I didn't know the proper black check rules. Yeah, I didn't really either. I just got way too drunk. Yeah, I mean, I'm sure I drank. Yeah, I don't remember ever being so drunk.

Because I went there for work. I went for work and then after the, there was like a celebrity ping pong tournament for my old job. I went there for work. Like, you're hanging out. with celebrities, but like you're just working. But then I made friends with a boxer and we went to a club and he paid for everything. That's nice. And I just, at one point, literally, I'm in like a suite with Marcellus Wiley. What? Jesse Vargas. What? And Chris Paul. What? Yes. I was there for Chris Paul's charity ping pong tournament. I never been invited to that. It's because we, the show I used to

cool. So they partnered with Chris Paul. So we got, I got flown out there to help with the tournament and then we went to the club that's in the, in that hotel. Nice thing Chris Paul's ever done. He bought a meal in mine one time. Very nice person. We went to this really swanky, uh, hipster, uh, bar in Phoenix after a Rockets game. Yep. Because we would throttle the Rockets at Suns. I don't think I've

only called one Phoenix Sun's loss ever. Most of them are like 40 point rocket wins. And me and a couple of people on the traveling party were having a couple of cocktails. They have the greatest pepperoni pizza at this place. It's called, uh, mannies, I think, or Lenny's or something like that.
