So much larger than life Yeah Lunch timers Is the Matt Thomas show Yeah You know, they really needed that, Matt. They're out of work right now. You mean, that's right.

The clubs are close. Yeah. You can't, you can't social distance from a stripper? They're all over you as soon as you get in there. I think a lot of them probably moved on to the private escort world. That won't probably. Yeah. As one Sean Salisbury would say, Ho's got to eat two.

He did? Yeah. Is he said that a regular basis? He says that all the time. I should catch more of that show. Well, I'm not normally up before 10, but at least when I, was on the show with him. That's what he would say. He says, Ho's got to do what? Eat.

Eat. Okay. Everybody's got to eat, man. Welcome to what anything goes Friday in the Matt Thomas show. We've kind of give you that essence. A lot to get to today. And we will have Brian T. Smith at 2 o'clock. We will have the Fantasy 5. We're doing every Friday because we've got no game to chew on. So today's edition of the Fantasy 5 is going to be audio-related. And we'll have production value to it, which Nick loves when there's production

value, which means, aka more work for him. Worst number one songs of the 1990s. And I can tell you, I spent an hour this morning. Because my life is go home, see my kids, eat, watch old games, bed by 10 o'clock. Aren't you doing some, are you doing any of the homeschooling for the kids? Like, you can get a lesson in the morning or something? No, no, no, no. That's Mrs. Thomas's Jeff.

She's doing all the teaching? Technically, it doesn't start until next week. Okay. And Cameron's got, by the way, my son Cameron, who's sophomore at Texas Tech, he's got to go back up to Texas Tech and get his stuff. They're spreading that out, so he goes to his dorm. Staggering? Yeah, they've staggered the closings.

What are they doing? Is basically they're saying, for the rest of the semester, you're at home? So is he going to be with you guys? Yeah. Okay, that's cool. Yeah, we'll get him an apartment for the summertime once the city resumes. You're going to get him an apartment? Yeah.

Won't he get his own apartment? Well, I mean, he's going to work a little bit. I want to come back as a Thomas kid. swear. Well, I promise in four years of education, as long as I can afford it, which right now it's a little more difficult than maybe it was, say, six months ago, but that's how they were there there. So, back to my point. We're going to do a little audio today for you. Number one, worse songs that were number one songs on any of the charts. Country. No. No. No, number one billboard. Okay. That's fine. Look at you. Look at you. You're trying to sneak something in there,

aren't you? What are you trying to sneak that didn't go one? I saw that tweet. from you. I knew, I knew this was going to happen. When I saw your tweet and you're like Annie Charles and wait a second, Matt changed the goalposts. But that's okay. No, no, no, no. Billboard only. What are you trying to slip in there? Be honest. No, I'm not going to tell you what it is because I think there's a definitive number one. Well, if it was number one in the, if it was number one on Billboard, you're fine. Right. And I think this one is. What are you trying to slip in there that's like number one on the hot dance? Because I, as we get later in the decades, I don't, I'm not as familiar with the music. Oh, geez.

I also think songs that I don't think I would like were going to be incredibly popular. Stay true to your heart. You liked half of my list for the 80s and I won. I did. I did. I did like, I did like, you like your list. All right. I was like, hey, this is all on my playlist.

Okay, well, first of all, you're very perceptive of me trying to sneak something in. Yeah, yes. It worked. So now I've got to go double check everything. But I think there's a definitive number one. Okay. But that's just my own opinion. Well, you know, I have a list, a preliminary list.

I don't have a definitive number one. and it is my choice since I've won the last several. Yeah, you just don't ever lose. All right, big news of the day. Tom Brady, officially a Buccaneer two-year contract. I've not seen the dollar amounts on it, but as we thought it would be, it was going to be a two-year deal.

Instagram and social media and all the different what they're seeing him with a picture of him signing the contract and the Buccaneers are making a big deal out of it. Now that guy obviously that's got to be a physical to make sure everything is okay. Actually, you know what? The physical already took place, I think.

in New York, if I'm not mistaken. Well, who did it? The TV 12 doctor? Well, you can still go see the doctor. No man saying you can go see. They also put it up with a picture of Johnny Unitis as a charger. And let's see. Brett Farve is a Viking.

Peyton Manning is a Bronco. Joe Namath is a 49er. Actually, Peyton wasn't terrible as a Bronco. He was just okay. No, he had one really great season. Yeah, I was going to say that. He had a 50 touchdown season. I don't think putting Peyton in that first year is a fair assessment.

beginning of his Bronco career. He had a 50, his 50 touchdown season, I believe was as a Bronco. And he broke the record as a Bronco against the Texans in Houston. Oh, wow. Because guess who had to be at the game? You? The entire Thomas family. Oh, okay.

That's right. Peyton Manning fan number one. So I had to buy, let me just tell you what Peyton Manning's done for my family. I mean, help me nothing. You guys are self-sustaining the economy right now. We've bought so many Peyton Manning jerseys as both a cult and a Denver Bronco. And if he ever goes to work on Monday night football, he's going to get a ratings bump in Houston,

no matter what the game is. It could be the Jaguars against the Seahawks, and we're going to watch it if Peyton Manning winds up working on Monday Night Football at some point. Well, I'll watch most of the time anyways for gambling and or fantasy football purposes, Daily Fantasy as well. Yeah, he threw 55 touchdowns his first year,

or second year with the Broncos. I mean, there are some duds. There are some players that moved on from one location the next. Akema Lange one is a Raptor. Oh, Emmett Smith is a Cardinal. We can go on and on and on. There are so many of them. But, yeah, so Tom Brady as a Buccaneer,

and everyone's trying to figure out where they're going to be. And here's the thing. Nobody has the, unless the crystal ball is very clear, we don't know what it's going to be. We don't know if Tom, I mean, if Tom Brady is 40% of what he normally is, guess what? That's not good enough in the NFL, because we did see the first little decline in Tom's career last year.

And he was good, but he was far from spectacular. He was no more efficient. And I don't, and the numbers may not back this up completely. But when you think of Tom Brady, who would you comp him to in the NFL based on just what he did just last season? Who does he? Is he Matt Ryan? Tom Brady? If you had time.

You know what? Matt Ryan's not bad. Okay. I was thinking one of the less than, I mean, Andrew Lack has had like a 45 touchdown season, but like one of the regular season. one of the regular years of Andrew Luck. Was he better than Ryan Fitzpatrick last year? Yes. Significantly?

I think so. I don't know. But it's not a horrible time. Because Ryan Fitzpatrick didn't start the whole season. No, but he, they moved the ball in Miami. It couldn't stop anybody, but they moved it.

Ryan Fitzpatrick was one of the most, one of the all-time bizarre NFL careers. Would you rather had Tom Brady last year or, um, Kyle Murray? Tom Brady Okay Tom Brady

last year or Matthew Stafford I'd have to look at the numbers I'm off the top of my head Tom Brady but am I just thinking of his name? I don't know because if you put Tom Brady with that Detroit Lion team

Yeah are they what's that What's that all about? I don't think so They won last year and well many years while Tom Brady was there on the backs of their defense And I'll say this I was actually defending

perhaps Tom Brady more than other people were when saying oh this is the the downfall has begun, but we have to be honest with ourselves. I mean, it would be intriguing if the Buccaneers became super relevant because it's been forever since they have. And I'm not ready to watch Tom Brady suck. I mean, frankly, to me, him being a Buccaneer Ross to me is out of sight, out of mind. All it's done for me is it's made the NFC a yet another contender.

The AFC, I'm not worried about anybody in the AFC because it's Kansas City. It's going to be Kansas City in Baltimore. In Baltimore. For the next decade. For the next decade. And now the Tom's gone, there's nobody else. If you think the Houston Texans are a legitimate contender to win the AFC next year, you're high. Your name is Texans Karen or you're a member of the traveling Texans.

Short of that, no one thinks that. Nobody around the NFL thinks that what the Texans have done in the last two weeks between free agent signings or lack thereof and the trade with DeAndre Hopkins makes them a contender for the AFC. They're not better than they were in 2019. right now. There's not even close. Not even close. All right. Today's anything goes Friday. Ross, explain the essence of the audience of anything.

Well, anything you want to get to on the phone lines here at 713, 2125-790, we can get to. Normally, it can be sports-related. Matt mentioned Thomas Brady. If you still want to yell and shake your fist at Bill O'Brien, we can do that. But on anything, anything goes to Friday, you have a longer leash. So you can get in and talk about anything. If you want to talk about, I don't know, homeschooling tips for Matt Thomas, I don't know if he can help you with that because he just said he's not going to be involved in any of the lessons plans.

Lesson plans. If you want to talk about, I don't know, shows to binge or watch or movie suggestions or... I'm not going to have Godfather to this weekend. You are? Oh, yeah. Wonderful. For sure. Awesome.

Yeah. We can get into anything. Yeah. Basically. But there's so many of it goes Friday. There's still a lot of sports to get to. If you're a stripper out of work and you need to, if you just want to talk to us about your struggles and what you got going on. Or if you need a place to crash, Ross is a part of a party.

Apartments available? Depends. If you're a stripper and you're calling my show, I need a headshot first. Please let me know so I can tell my wife and my kids not to listen to show. Not that they do anyway, but I really do. Are you going to require a coronavirus test, Ross? Coronavirus tests, several other battery of tests and checking for meth scars. What are today's single people doing these days?

They're being idiots and going out to spring break and congregating over there. Have you seen those videos of those people? Some of them available at sports talk 790.com, the what's on Metsmind show page. So we're exploding their stupidity. Yeah. Okay, fair enough. For web hits. All right.

It did quite well. Brian Smith at 2 o'clock, the Fantasy 5 worst number one songs must be Billboard number one songs. Yes. They can't be R&B number one. None of this R&B or if you go to the hot dance number one of the early 90s, my goodness, you probably got a treasure trove of terrible songs. That's the ones I recognized. 713-212-5-790. 7-13-212-5-790.

Also a topic today that I want to get. into that maybe those of you that maybe are not 100% Houston sports fans can help with. I firmly believe that the Houston Texans are the most tone-deaf organization in sports today. Oof. There's some stiff competition, I think. We'll go over some of those candidates next. Tyler White here. Back to Matt Thomas. And it is gone.

And sports talk 790. Home of Astros baseball. It is anything goes Friday. the Matt Thomas show. Our time is 1217 with Ross and Nick. I'm Matt. We are very, very thankful that you are spending part of your day with us. And I mean that with all sincerity. And we're going to be here every day. It's just what we need to do. We need sports talk. Yes. And we're going to be 95% sports talk and 5% little goofiness. But that's just what we just need to do. We need to be, you know, we will do our best to entertain you. And please tell your friends, tell your,

tell your enemies. Tell your neighbors. Yeah, tell the name. Well, Yeah, you can, as long as you just, like, use a cone. Hey, listen to 790 over there. Well, you have all these videos coming from Italy. People, everybody's, like, on the patio of their apartment and singing songs together. And one guy's playing the piano. The other guy gets out of saxophone. A lot of kumbaya moments, Matt.

When was the last time you gather with your neighbors and sang? I was doing Christmas Carol's last Christmas. You were not. No, I wasn't. That's not a terrible response. You know when to do this. Never. This might date you.

Okay. Do you remember the song, the Coca-Cola song? Yes. I like to teach the world to sing. Yeah, I know the song. Perfect. And all these people came together. Now, you can't do that.

No. We cannot sing. Because you're all going to get COVID. We cannot sing the Coca-Cola song. But that's what we kind of need. It's like from a distance to sing about Coke. From distance. No, we're not singing.

Like Bed Miller. See? She's by herself. This would not catch on in 2020 because nobody knows. because nobody knows it. It's growing. This is a covita. This is not COVID.

COVID, whatever. That matter. For 2,000 MT bucks. It's not Covita blue. What's saying it? For 2,000 MT bucks. Can I get a year either way? 1980.

No, way earlier. Yeah, earlier. I'll go 73. Close. What? 71. I had no idea. Now, what's the song?

in 2020 like that that's going to get everybody together. You mean? Commercial you mean? No, that's going to if I started singing it, everybody is going to catch like wildfire. Everybody can sing it.

If I wanted to start that in 2020, what song would I sing? Who let the dogs out? That's actually probably right. Well, you know, we talked about this. And then everyone just would start barking. We did talk about this on the show about a month ago.

No, don't, don't play that song. I seriously don't want that song. Yeah, please. Is that? Remember I told you, we had two songs in the building at Toyota Center that got people going crazy more or anything else. And that's YMCA. And what was that one? We were rock you?

Yes. Was that the song, I think it's a lot of it? I got it. How about this? Do you think everybody would catch on Bohemian Rat City? Too many words. I feel like, well, I know every word of that song. I do not.

My son would love to sing it with you know that. No, I don't, you think there's a universal song that if we went to a, Are there radio stations within the building that they would start singing with us? To be a big difference between Sunny and the beat. But that's why we've got to find a universal song. Yeah, that's what we're saying. We're trying to get everybody. I think it's got to be something of a stadium anthem.

Because when you take an arena song, you're talking about 18,000 people of different races, ethnicities, backgrounds. You got to find a universal song would be like YMCA. If I walk down the hall to KPRC and said it's fun to stay at the YMCA, I guarantee you within 10 seconds I can find one of the two employees that are there. But that's the chorus. I'm trying to get the whole song. Oh, you want the whole song? That's what they all sing in that one.

Well, I went to a BuzzFeed list. It says songs literally everyone knows the lyrics to you. Number one is Teenage Dirtbag. I don't know that one. Number two, what dreams are made of, Lizzie McGuire? Don't know that one. No. Turn buzz.

All-star Smash Mouth. That's not bad. Oh, I will always love you, Whitney Houston. How about we are the champions? I paid my dues. That's a good one. I would go Behemian Rats City over that. Ooh, Ignition Remixed by R. Kelly.

Now, you're out on that one, man. Yeah, I'm out. That's a good one. But I don't even know all the words. I don't even know the first word. What is it? Bloody or Body or Money. Somebody in line, too.

Margaritaville. Living on Spongecake. Watching the sun. I will survive. Gloria Gaynor's not bad. That's not going to happen. At first I was afraid. I was petrified, Matt.

Okay. We will think about this. Thinking I could never live. What's the one song we could go to each of our demographics of our radio stations and please? I got it. Are you sure you're not kidding around? All I want for Christmas is you by Moray Carey. See, I can't get anything serious.

No. No. Doesn't everybody. What? No. What's wrong with you? I mean, if you want to go Christmas on, you go jingle bells.

Uh, total eclipse of the heart is on. No. Got it. Happy Birthday. Everyone knows that one. All right. That's actually probably the best answer. Happy birthday is certainly one, but that's not Timian Rat City. Bohemian Rhapsody is on this. How about Hey Jude? The Beatles. Everybody knows Hey Jude. Don't argue with me on that one. That's not bad. I just said. Calm down.

But I just know you. I might calm down. My fists are already up with you guys. That's because half the words are nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. That's exactly right. That's right. If I start with a Walking down the road. Walking down the studios of this building. We have like nine employees left. Nah, nah,

nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, the other side of the hall will be like, nah, nah,

nah, hey, Jude. I don't know about that. I might try this. We may do a video of this after the show. How about summer 11 from Greece? Okay, no.

All right, what is it called summer? What is it really called? No. Ron and Webster and anything goes Friday at 1222. Ron, good afternoon. Ron.

R-O-N. Okay, he's got a bad phone line. Ron, try to call us. He just came there. Oh, let's try it one more time. Ron, are you there? Yes, I'm here. Go ahead.

First of all, I have the tiger. How's that? Rising up. You know, you know what? Very catchy tune. I just don't know if people know the words to it. You got to think about this, Ron. You got to make it a song with very few words.

You just do. Okay. Listen, I'm here visiting a friend. I've been here for two and a half months. All right. I love you guys. Thank you. I'm from Tampa Bay, actually.

Oh, really? Okay. My perspective on the Tom Brady thing is, you know, last year, if you look at Brady's offensive weapons, he didn't really have anything. Now, I'm not a Patriots fan. Don't get me wrong. In fact, I'm very scared at James. Winston is going to go somewhere and make them very good, if you know what I mean.

So, you know, the Buccaneers and the Texans still have the same old problem. They need an offensive line, and they need defensive cornerbacks. Although I will say that James Winston put the Buccaneers' defense in really bad situations last year with all those interceptions. and they still finish 14th overall in defense. So if we can just show up our secondary and get a pass rusher, I think we're going to be pretty decent. The Texans need to – I just don't understand the Texan's thoughts about not building up their offensive line when you got the Sean Watson back there.

And I don't even want to go into this trade with D'Andre Hopkins. What a fiasco that is. But I don't understand why NFL teams do not build their offensive line first and their defensive line and build from the inside out. I just, I don't get it. So, anyway, I'll hang up and listen and thank you guys. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Thanks very much for the phone call.

You know, I can't break down how the Buccaneers built their franchise because I don't care. They have very good run defense. and their defense overall was pretty good. He says 14th, but I mean, yeah, it was because of short fields and stuff like that, but they were one of the better defensive units in the entire league. And especially from a run standpoint. Here's the problem with the Texans.

You have to use your middle round picks to bolster your offensive line. And the Texans for a better part of a decade, to the caller's point, have had nothing but bust in the middle rounds. There's a reason why the offensive line hasn't performed well because you haven't been able to rely on rounds three, four and five to find players like that. Instead, what you have to do is you have to overpay the guys that

are decent. Maybe Nick Martin is a good example of that. And you have to go overpay with a trade to go get a guy that come in here to fortify your offensive line. So that's, to me, the Texans tried. They just made bad picks. Of those three, four, five in the last decade, I mean, I would say at least half in the offensive lineman, right, Ron? I can run through. I mean, Julian Davenport is in 17. Xavier Sue Ophilo was a second round pick. I mean,

Martinez Rankin was traded away for Carlos Hyde. He was going to be cut two years after being drafted in the third round. Right. Do you see my point? Max Sharping and Titus Howard. Well, Titus Howard's jury still out. Max Sharping was solid last year. Yeah.

Nick Martin is adequate to good. Yes. I mean, I don't know. I don't know maybe the money. He got maybe more money than he probably. should have in terms of his new extension, but that's, you know, good for him. Point being is this, it's not like the Texans have turned a blind out of the offensive line. Oh, Brennan Williams.

They've just made mistakes, Ross. They just have. That's true. Who was the guy that's in Tennessee on the offensive line that was here? Ben Jones? No, no, he went to Philly. Or was it Ben Jones? What's his name?

Isn't there somebody that used to be in the Texans offensive line that's now in Tennessee? Am I making that? Yeah, Ben Jones. Yeah, Ben Jones. Yeah, he got a huge deal with them recently. So either you make mistakes with your draft, which the Texans clearly did, under Rick Smith, or you don't realize what you have and undervalue them and they go somewhere else. That's how you screw up an offensive line.

It's not because the Texans for five years decided not to go find a right guard. They were poorly managed. It's like a baseball team. It may have a great lineup. But if you continue to draft pitchers and sign pitchers and make raids and you make the wrong ones, you're still going to have a sucky ERA. But the Texans' offensive line, at the start of the season, Ross, I thought was going to get Deshaun Watson killed.

Yeah, it got better. They got better. And it actually got to average, which for where I thought they were going to be as compared to how they ended, is a miracle. Hey, and Brandon Brooks is maybe another one you're thinking of who went on to Philly, and he's been like pro-bow level since he's been there. So he's been to three straight bowl bowls with Philadelphia. Eagles. There's your answer. Why am the Texas done it? Because they have their talent evaluation

and salary cap management in that particular position has been. It's been questionable. Not questionable. It's been awful. But I mean, if you have Tunsell right now and if Nick Martin can step it up and Max Sharping, who is solid, can make a leap. I mean, you got three-fits right there. Maybe Titus Howard. Tides Howard was playing better. I think Titus Howard could be encouraging. You sure what I mean, I don't foresee him being, I mean, where do you put him ultimately? Where is he going to be three years from now? I don't know. But it's possible that the offensive line is bolstered right now.

Yeah, it's not nearly... Or as good as it's been in the last three, four years, which is not the low bar. But... Compared to where it's been, it's as good as it's going to be, at least for the foreseeable future. 1229 is the Matt Thomas show. It is the Matt Thomas Show and Sports Talk 790. 7.13-212.5.790 is how you reach our show. 713-212-5-790.

I believe the Texans are the most tone-deaf organization in sports. We've got some other candidates. I had one right out the top. Maybe we've got a few more to get to. We'll discuss that next plus your phone calls. On it, anything goes Friday. This is Sports Talk 790. Get the game.

Then talk about it here. Sports Talk 790 is Houston's home for Rockets Basketball. All right, a lot of you are sending me suggestions for songs worse than 1990s, They're all awful, the ones you've sent me. But they have to reach number one. Numero Uno. They've got to be a number one on the Billboard list. Yes.

So number four doesn't cut it. Like, for instance, somebody sent me, our buddy, Bond, sent me an All-Star by Smashmouth. And it's a god-awful song. Hold on now. Hey, now you're an All-Star. Maybe they're sending you songs that everybody knows. No, it says it's an All-Star. Oh, okay.

It reached number four on the U.S. Billboard's Hot 100. number ones. Yeah, it's got to be number ones. I agree. That song does suck. It does suck. Well, I feel like a lot of people would know the words that, though. Well, not maybe not.

We're talking about it for our Fantasy 5 list. I know. I know. But even so, yeah. Number four is amazing, but it's not number one. Okay. And there are some number one songs from the 90s that I actually like that I think are going to be on your list. Pretty usual.

So, all right. 713-212-5-790. I believe the Houston Texans are the most tone-deaf organization in sports. Ross, you and I have. have come to an agreement. There is an organization that probably is even, well, was the previous leader. Totally deaf as the kids would say. Completely deaf.

You ready to say? Just say the last name of the team, okay? Ready? One, two, three. Nickerbockers. Yeah, the Knicks. They're, they are. So the question is, are the Texans as tone deaf as a Knicks?

Because the NICs had been toned deaf for a lot longer, granted. And their futility is amazing. and the fact that James Dolan is so tone-deaf with his fan base, is tone-deaf with going to get Phil Jackson and thinking that 70-something-year-old Phil Jackson could be the general manager of the future. He's gone through coaches left and right. Now, because you suck doesn't mean you're tone-deaf. Right.

Which means they just, there's a holier-than-now attitude. There's just an ineptist. At every turn, everything seems to get messed up. when they can't catch a break in some instances, and then when they do catch a break, they screw it up. But outside of the Knicks, I mean, I guess the Browns, for a long stretch there, have been pretty bad. I mean, they've been through, what, like 20 quarterbacks?

When I think of toned up, I also think of, you think everything you're doing is the right thing. The Browns keep changing things because they keep making the mistakes. it would be different if the Browns kept the same coaches. Like I said, Freddie Kitchens is amazing. He is going to be the coach of our future. And we think no matter all the troubles he's gone through in his first year as a coach, we believe in him.

They at least said, this isn't going to work. It's almost worse that they're changing. They can change coaches like every year. Yeah. Yeah. Hmm. Who else would be on that list? Texans are close.

Let me give you some examples. I'm trying to put more teams. The Texas, it's hard. They kept Matt Millen for entirely too long. Oh, how about the Donald Sterling Clippers with Elgin, is it Elgin Baylor? Elgin Barler was the general manager forever and he was terrible. So it comes down to having people in control for a lot longer than they ever should have been. I'll give you a college example.

There's a lot of people that believe that University of Michigan is tone deaf when it comes to Jim Harbaugh as their coach. that Jim Harbaugh is never going to lead Michigan to anything more than what they've already accomplished. That's just, I'm just throwing that out as an example. I don't think people at Texas are tone-deaf about Tom Herman. What's there to be tone-deaf about? I mean, at some point, you're going to get past playing in the Alamo or Holiday Bowls. One of a Sugar Bowl, pal. That's true you did.

And you look great doing it, by the way. Really, really good. This year took a step back. Yeah. So. I'm sorry, what bowl did you have age go into this year?

Well, we had a horrible officiating. Oh, okay. If officiating would have changed things, we would have won more games. Was the final record? I don't remember.

Yeah. Everybody's transferring out, mass exodus. Derek King says I'm out. You know, sometimes you can't handle excellence. When things are being asked of you that you're not willing to do,

then you know what? Goodbye. Okay. Work hard, go to class, get good grades, behave yourself. We've got to move out.

Got to move out. It's fine. So who else is tone deaf? Who else? Who else has no firm reality on who they really are? Man, it just doesn't get much better than the Knicks. Because James Dolan thinks he's one player away, right? Anybody in baseball?

Maybe it was the Cubs for a while there. Then they got Theo Epstein and everything turned around. Yeah, they're smart. That's not a dumb organization. I'm trying to think. If y'all can think of some tone-deaf teams. And again, it's not teams that suck that fire people all the time. Yeah, they just don't know what they're doing.

The Texans have an owner who has no idea what his general manager and coach is all about. Go ahead and he-haw. No, I'm not doing it. You have an he-ha-in-a-all all day. I'm he-ha-free today. People love the he-ha-ha-ha-oh, though. Do they really? Yeah, I've had multiple people tell me they love the he-haul, yes.

That sucks. And you know as soon as he plays it once, I'm going to wind up doing it. So it's really on Nick to play that theme song. 713-1-2-1-2-5-7-90. Let's go to Jay on a mobile line at 1238. Jay, good afternoon. Yeah, good afternoon, man. I have two different lists for you.

First of all, when you were talking about songs of the 90s that suck, and the number one, I know macarena got to be one of them. Who let the dog grab? Nobody knows the words to Macarena? No, you're mixing. Oh, I'm sorry. He's talking about the worst songs. I'm sorry.

You guys have made this very confused. I did it. I did it. It's my fault. It's my fault. Did the Macarena reach number one? Oh, absolutely. Did it?

Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Matt's face. And also you guys were talking about, you know, naming songs that somebody would know the words to if you played them. And I can know, too, I drive Uber sometimes, and I have two songs from the 80s. And I know that it's cross-generational and it's also cross-racial. And that's In the Air Tonight by Phil Collins and another one bites the dust by... A lot of Queen songs on this list for coming up with.

People bop their head. For the 2000s, real quick, for the 2000s, two songs I know that people tend to once again cross-up blinds and everything is happy by Farrell and locked out of heaven by Bruno Mars. And that's it. All right. Thank you very much. By the way, who let the dogs outreach number 21 on the billboard list? Gang, I can't take any more song recommendations. I don't want, as a matter of fact, Nick, to take no more because people are not understanding the rules of what we're doing for the Fantasy Five.

They have to be number one songs that when Casey Kasem or Rick Dees or Ryan Seacrest, if he ever did him in the 90s, did his, did their little weekly top 40, they said, this is the number one song. Yeah, it maxed out at number 21. Now, it was number one in Australia, number one in New Zealand, boy, I'll tell you what, in the far west, they really liked it, didn't they? Guess. Or it's very far east as however you want to slice it.

It depends on your globe is turning and spinning. Yeah. Who let the dogs out? It's an awful song, but apparently we had so little taste in it that we only, we kept it at 21. Macarena. Hmm. Macarena, by the way. Somebody's eyes lit up over there.

It's a number one song. Okay. Noted. Seven, one. See it. That's why I never should have invited the audience and get involved. 713, two, one, two, five. It wasn't on my list.

It is now. $7.13, $2,000. $5,7. If you want to reach out at at SportsMT, at SportsServe. Remember, if you send me some songs, I'm okay with that. But they got to be number ones. It takes you three seconds on Google to find out if a song's number one or not. Right.

You could ask Siri or ask Alexa really quickly. By the way, we have Alexa in our kitchen. Yes. She just starts rambling when we don't even ask for her. I don't want to, I mean, look, I know it's impossible to escape Big Brother in the deep state or whatever. But I just don't want to invite Alexa into my home. I love her. I listen to everything I say.

But sometimes when you're trying to have dinner with your kids and all of a sudden she goes playing smash mouth. Yeah. Well, there's been accidents. There's been ones where people have videos of them. Alexa accidentally starting stuff from Porn Hub and ordering stuff that they didn't order. What? Yeah. So.

I do not know this. Whoa. I have never seen you look. I've never seen you look more concerned, man. I need to call the house a quick. This is Carlos Correa. Back to Matt Thomas. It's your home of fastest, baseball.

It's your home of fastest baseball. This is a suggestion that we didn't get the collar on. Everyone knows the words to this one, Matt. That's true. She was saying if he walked around and went. Yes. This song reminds me of one thing and one thing only. Tequila?

Oh, Pee We Herman. Pewee Herman. Pee Wee Herman had a great run until they went to a porn movie here in Sarasota, Florida. And then it all came a crashing down. Things went a little downhill from there. But he bounced back. I think that got overblown. Peewee's big adventure with my jam.

Okay, Yen segment suspension. Five, six-year-old Ross. Not like a coronavirus. Geez. five or six-year-old Ross loved him some Peeby Herman's Big Adventure Although it was creepy As a movie I think I wouldn't saw him as a teenager in the movie

There was that creepy part with that chick in the 18-wheeler And she turns into a monster or whatever Don't remember that That freaked me out Yeah 1248 Matt Thomas show We're looking for tone deaf NFL MLB MBA I don't know if there's any NHL teams that are tone deaf

But we got one here in town The way And by the way everybody in their mother is announcing now that these trades are now being official through Twitters and whatnot. Yes. Check the Houston, Texans, Twitter. Let me go ahead and check the Houston. When is the tribute to DeAndre Hopkins? We're going to

miss you. We think you're the best. We'll ever forget you. You're going to be in our Hall of Honor. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Well, they last tweeted three Oh, no. Three hours ago. And it was on. Slowing down COVID-19 is up to all of us.

Stay home and stay informed. Would you like me to read some of the mentions of this tweet. Have we got proper mention music? We just can go right to it. Listen to your fans. A quid pro quo. We stay home and you fire Bill O'Brien. We're not trying to hear what y'all got to say about the COVID-19 fire Bill O'Brien. Sign the petition. It's a link to a change.org boycott the Houston Texans until Bill O'Brien is fired a petition. Let me see how many signatures

that bad boys got. It's got 22,000 signatures. You are irrelevant. They spell irrelevant correctly? Irrelevant? It looks like they did, yeah. There's a mean that says if coronavirus was an NFL GM and it's a picture of Bill O'Brien. There's an F. Bill O'Brien picture.

I mean, if you're the Texans, do you just stop with the replies? The problem is if you stop the replies and people are going to say, guess what the Texans are doing now? Has Bill gotten COVID-19? Now, that's not nice. I wish Bill had stayed home for two weeks having him in charge is a nightmare. I got news for you, gang.

He can do all his dirty work in Houston at his home. Slowing down, Bob is up to Cal, Fire B-O-B. And by the way, I've had... Billy Butthole, Chan, that's not nice. I've had a lot of people ask. There is a photo out there. What's this on the freeway? The B-someone?

The B-some-1. Yes. I have seen the Fire O'Brien. Yes, Adam Clanton. Somebody Photoshopped it. Adam Clinton ripped it off and tweeted it. You cannot... You cannot find that anywhere.

Unless he made that Photoshop, I don't think he did. Who made it? I don't know. I don't know. Credit where credits do? Well, that's what I, that's what you're supposed to do when you tweet. Adam. Clanton.

Who did you get that from? Give credit where credits do. Mm-hmm. Unless it was somebody. Or at least fake like you don't know and do, uh, who did this crying, laughing face emoji, crying laughing face emoji. Or those eyes. As somebody who makes Photoshop's and who's had their photoshop's ripped off, I don't like when

somebody tweets out and doesn't credit the original artist or just says who did this with laughing face emojis like they don't know where they got it from. That's very true. 713-21-2-5-790. Patrick and Belair on the Matt Thomas show. Hello, Patrick. Hey, Matt. Okay, since anything goes Friday, a couple questions for you.

Yeah. One, do you prefer any of the arena if you go to, say like at the summit, a lot of the players say it's the Greenway and then they walked over? Do you prefer that type or do you prefer I don't know, a 30 minute or the hour bus ride. I don't know the NBA city hotels and how far they are. Do you have a preference in anything like that?

Yes, I do. I'm not looking to dog in these cities. I'm just trying to peel back the curtain as a wise person I know. Patrick, let me tell you this. Very well said, my friend. To answer your first question, as close as you can get me to the arena, the better. So in that list, my absolute favorite arena in the NBA

for that reason and that reason only is Sacramento. They built a brand new, beautiful hotel that literally you go downstairs one floor to the garage, and you can walk right into the main arena entrance to the Golden One Center in Sacramento by not even leaving my hotel. The FedEx form in Memphis, there is a hotel that's right across street from the arena. We stay there. So, yeah, the closer, the absolute better. And for that, Sacramento and Memphis are one, two on my list. Now, is that because there's, like, let's just say, like, not as many autograph seekers or just as many, you know, I don't know, anything else that could just get in your way or just pure convenient.

And again, I'm not trying to be silly with you. No, I don't mind telling some of the tricks of the trade. A lot of autograph seekers in Memphis, none in Sacramento, because the hotel does a really good job of securing that off because they, because actually some of the players from the Kings live in the hotel in the upper. level they have some condos there. So they do a really good job of that. The Memphis Hotel, look, it's the best hotel in Memphis in terms of being close to the arena, so it's hard to disguise

where the players are, so they're always going to have a lot of autograph seekers. Some of the worst places, Detroit's really, we stay in a hotel very far away from Detroit. As much as I love going to L.A., Beverly Hills to downtown Los Angeles, especially in rush hour, can be a pain of the ass.

So that's kind of a little bit of an inconvenient drive. trying where else would be. Orlando's a little bit of a drive. But yeah, the closer to the arena, the better is always our preferred. And that's not just me. That's probably players, too. Gotcha.

Okay, my other question to you is this. And this is kind of a real source subject. But when Luno, unfortunately, got tired, they said it was such a bad work place or a bad work environment. I think what Manfred said. Yeah, you've obviously, you know, I've just haven't listened to you. I know you worked, I guess, with Utah, the University of Utah, and you did some twins pre- and post-game stuff. Again, not looking to talk bad about anyone.

But, I mean, have you ever seen that poor of a work environment? And I'm assuming what Manfred must have met was it's either pens and needles or, oh, Matt, you only work for a 14-hour day today. Right, right. You're awful. I don't know exactly what it means. But, I mean, could you shed some type of line to that? It's cool.

I hang up and listen to that. All right. Thank you. Thank you, Patrick. I have never worked directly for a team full-time. Now, obviously, I am a full-time 82-game rocket game-night employee, but I don't go to their offices and go to eight to five on non-work days. I'm still a contract employee of the team.

I've always been a contract employee of the University of Houston. or Utah, but I've never worked at 9 to 5 and then the games. So I can't speak to the environment. I just know that Jeff over the years has ridded. Is that a word rid? I think so. No, rid. Rid of a lot of employees over the years.

Some because you want your own people in, some that maybe needed to be gotten rid of, something he just wanted to do it because when you carry power you're going to have a chance to put in who you want no one's ever come to me directly and said

Jeff Luno is a tyrant, a terrible human being and a bad boss I've had indirectly people tell me that but not directly is that fair to say okay but the rest of the organizations

I just don't know there's always been in you win that Jeff was a tough boss. But that's really second and third hand. And that's something that, you know, again, I can't, I can't, I can't verify because I never worked a day for him. And I never saw Jeff Luno behind the curtain. Everything I've seen with Jeff has been in front of the curtain.

Where he is very knowledgeable and forthright and forthcoming. And successful. Yeah. But yeah. I hope that answers that. Yeah. There are always whispers that Jeff Luno was a little bit tough to work for. I think there's frankly a lot of whispers that Bill O'Brien's hard to work for.

I think there's almost a beating downs of doors. And you might be hearing yelling eventually. That's ridiculous. Jalen Strong and DeVier Posey were not whispering. No, they were not. Two very good questions. I love stuff like that. I love when, not that people can ask me behind this.

I'm just saying that I like to hear behind the scene stuff. We've got to do some AskMTs during these slower times. Hey, I'm here for y'all. Is anything going on? Hashtag AskMT. Tom Brady is a Buccaneer. What? I mean, yeah, I know.

Has it sunk in yet? And they have maybe the ugliest uniforms in the NFL. You know, I'm telling you, if you really wanted to, if you really want to me to change my alliances from no NFL team to the Buccaneers, you do it one more way. You do one thing to change it? Creamsicles. You think that's it? We'll find out next. Is the Matt Thomas show.

Ross and I are putting together our list for the Fantasy 5, which will have a 230. The 90s absolutely were atrocious. The first couple of years of the 1990s, basically almost every song that was number one is just horrible. It's like, I'm learning through

this list. Hate it. Hate it. Somewhat liked it. Despise it. Oh, there's a rare one I like. Hate, hate, hate, hate, hate. Between 19, and I graduated from high school in 1990, what the hell did I listen to between 90 and 94? Because it wasn't this crap.

obviously the Beatles Yeah And they're the goats For a reason That's why I went to the Beatles Because this Look what was being put out But during my

Young college years Melvin Gordon has a brand new contract Two years $16 million With The Denver Broncos So Melvin Gordon Gordon is making

Less than David Johnson Correct There are a lot of Todd Gurley By the way Today signed with the Atlanta Falcons David Johnson makes way more than that.

More than double. Do you know that Melvin Johnson... Todd Gurley makes... Oh, geez. Do you know that the Johnson boys, whatever we're going to call them, Johnson and Johnson? Johnson and Johnson?

I would say we call him David Duke. I think they're... No, I don't think we do that at all. It's David and Duke Johnson. No, I don't think so. No. D&D? No.

Johnson's fine. Double D's? Nope. You can guess all your day want to. You're going to find nothing that I'm going to like. Davy and the Duke? They're two of the five- I like Davy and the Duke.

Davy and the Duke? Yeah. They're two of the five highest paid per year running backs in the NFL. What? Somebody tweeted that out yesterday. Per year, just for the next year. Somebody of some repute? Yeah, I think so.

How about we just call them Duke Johnson and get rid of one of them? Well, how about if one can't play? Maybe. Because here's what I need your help on this, and I'm not been able to figure this. If he failed, if David Johnson fails the physical, you don't just send him back. Right? No, I don't know. Can you fail a physical and still bring the guy over?

Does that nullify the trade? Well, I would think so. They always say trades are official pending physicals. So, yeah, that's what the Arizona Cardinals tweeted out. Does Bill O'Brien get a redo if that? that happens. Do over? But here's the thing.

So the first thing it comes to your mind as well, then the deal is off that DeAndre's back as a Texan. But everybody has also said, and I'm just trying to piggybacking off of whatever I says, is that Tom, is that there's no way DeAndre stays as a Texan, that he's gone. He's done. He's finished. Have there been, I mean, as we, NBA, we can point to a couple of deals, of course, that we're through the Chris Paul deal and, of course, here that Sean Elliott.

Sean Elliott a long time ago. How can they both involve the rockets? but can we recall an NFL deal like this? Because usually you don't do player for player trades in the NFL. It's usually player for pigs. By the way, the Tom Brady contract announcement is out in terms of not only the length of the deal, which is two years.

60? 50. Okay. Let me tell you something. That's not terrible money. It's not. $25 million a year. Remember that that's the one year that Philip Rivers got in Indianapolis.

You know what? Good on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Because I was talking about this yesterday that Tom, Brady is kind of past his prime and he's probably not going to live up to that deal. But if it's two years 25, how much is guaranteed? Do we know? If it's one year guaranteed, probably? There's also $9 million potentially in incentives.

That I don't know. I don't know about the guarantee. If he makes a Pro Bowl or gets into a certain round of the playoffs probably. Indy told me earlier that he found somewhere that it was 100% guaranteed and then there's the 9 million in incentives. Wow. Okay. 100% guarantee doesn't surprise me.

Yeah, that makes sense. He doesn't need to play nice. Well, did you also see that apparently. he didn't even go back to the Patriots and ask them to match the deal. He wanted to be done with the Patriots. Yeah. I think... That surprises me a little bit.

Let me give you this scenario. I think I'm worth X amount of dollars for two more years. Patriots said, no, you're not. I think Tom Brady's like, I brought you six Super Bowls. No, they said he didn't even go back to them to ask them. I'm talking about there had to have been an initial. conversation even before this. Before Tom decided he wanted to leave New England,

do you think that he didn't even give him a chance to even negotiate a contract? I don't believe that to be accurate. I wonder. Maybe Belichick said... Do you think Bill... Okay, here's the question. Do you think Bill Belichick... When the season ended, said,

we don't want you back. I can't imagine Robert Krap would allow that. I think there was a dollar amount that was probably given to Tom, an initial offer that Tom said, this is terrible. Look what I've done for you and I'm going to go find something else and no matter what it is,

I'm not going to give you a chance to match. This is from Ian Rappaport. The Patriots likely would have done this contract though Tom Brady never came to them with his desire to return so there was no offer from New England. In the end, only the bucks and chargers made offers. The Raiders set it out as well, never offering Brady a deal.

So he's saying that the Patriots never made a single offer at all? Or to... Because Brady apparently. said I'm out. Okay, let me read that again. The Patriots likely would have done this contract, though Tom Brady never came to them with his desire to return. Then why delay the goodbyes and farewells?

Drama. Super Bowl. What did he do? What was it a Hulu? What was that spot that he did? I don't even remember. With his little Instagram post? Yeah, yeah.

And he's a diva. But he's a deserving. diva. That tweet tells me that there was never a thought of him going back. That really surprises me if that indeed is accurate. I remember, just because you're only hearing it from one side. That's true. Ian Rappaport, that was leaked to him from somebody. And again, Ian doesn't bat a thousand. That's true. Well, he bats a thousand as Bill O'Brien's mouthpiece. That's true. And by the way,

why isn't Ian Rappaport Matt at Edward? Because Edward got it before he did. Yeah, did and not pick up his phone. And so Billy, Billy O or Cal or whoever just went straight to, straight to Werder. Yeah. That seems a little odd there, too. All right.

But regardless, it's guaranteed, it's $50 million, and James Winston needs a new place to go. Did you see the team that is kicking the tires on James Winston? I heard yesterday. Yeah, who was it? The Washington Redskins.

Hmm. What an average, uninspiring, what are they franchised in the Redskins? When you think of the Redskins in the last decade, What do you think of? I'll give you my only answer. Kirk Cousins making a lot of money and being franchise tagged twice and making

oodles and oodles of money for being ridiculously average. I was going to say running RG3 into the ground. Okay. That's not bad either. Alex Smith's leg getting just obliterated because, I mean, that was their plan. And then Donovan McNabb for a while too. Oh, yeah. The McNabb is a redskin.

And speaking of guys who win their second X, and wouldn't he have Viking briefly as well? I don't know. But you know how the Texans are a nondescript, nothing remarkable franchise for really since, unfortunately, 2002? What have the Redskins been in the last 10 years? They're the ones that have the Super Bowl. They're the ones that have Joe Gibbs.

They had the hogs. They had John Riggins and Dexter Manley, and they had Joe Thaisman. And then they had Doug Williams, for a time. Yeah, how many times they made the playoffs in the last 10?

There was that time with RG3. They made, there were like nine and seven. And you were watching his career went absolutely implode.

He can hardly walk and Mike Shanahan's running him out there. And Alfred Morris was carrying the day there too. Have they been to the playoffs much more than that in last 10 years?

They're solidly unremarkable. By the way, it is a fully guaranteed deal on Tom Brady. Congratulations to him. So that's why. My wife's always asking me, why did Tom come back?

Because 50 million reasons why. The Redskins in the last 10 years made the playoffs in 2012 and 2015, and that's it. But nothing to go, wow, they're on the, they're on the come to win and potentially go to the Super Bowl. Nothing. None of that. There's a lot of franchises like that. See, that's what I'm saying. See, the Texans don't have it that bad. We're not by ourselves out here in Houston, Texas.

We are not by ourselves. There are a lot of teams. Like, again, we're in the. the same mix of, well, if you're counting playoff appearances, we're way better in Detroit. But is that saying much? You're better than the dregs. You're mediocre. This is what is, this is Texan's existence.

You haven't been high up. You haven't made the final four in a championship game and in your conference's championship game. You've made the playoffs. You've had some success. You've also had some years where your team is going two and 14 and the coach is literally having a stroke on the field and still gets fired. I mean, it's, it's been a mixed bag. And when you add it all up, it's been a pile of mediocrity because it starts from the top.

But yet the coach, who has been the leader of this mediocrity the last six seasons, it continues to get more power. You know what it is? It's like he's the sales guy. You know, he have goals and you reach a certain percentage of your goal. Right. You get to 100%. You get to keep a job. you get to 110,

150, 120% of your goal like really good sellers do You get huge bonuses First place is a Cadillac El Dorado Second place is a set of steak knives And third places you're fired Is that what you're saying? Yeah, he wins steak knives at his office

Okay Based on his performance But instead of getting the steak knives He has the Mercedes Benz Okay, I'm confused Instead of winning the steak knives He's been he's the boss is said Well you know what

Oh he's getting reward He's getting reward He's getting rewarded way more than any other human being would be rewarded for his performance. He's a teacher's pet. That's what Bill O'Brien is. He's that kid in school that everybody hated, tried too hard, was mean to everybody, and had bad interpersonal relationships with everybody, but sucked up to the teacher. That's exactly right.

And nobody around us, like his fellow classmates, other teachers, maybe even administrator, can figure out why. Hey, yes. Since he went to Brown, we'll say he's smart. I was asking this yesterday on the nightcap. Was he like a legacy at Brown? Because every time we say, you know what, Billy Brian's a smart guy. The only thing we ever...

He did go to Brown. Yeah, the only time we ever have anything to say, the only reason we say that is because he went to Brown. If he went to, like, NC State or something, it would be a lot easier for just to call him a bumbling idiot. Was he a legacy? Was Bill O'Brien, senior, or I don't know if he's a junior or whatever? was his dad like a legacy at Brown

and a million dollar donated or something? How did this man get into Brown? I don't understand it. I don't get it. Did he cheat on his SATs? And you know the number one thing of crazy is for me is that people always ask me, Matt, what kind of pictures does Bill O'Brien have of Cal?

I don't ever want to answer that. I'll never answer that question to you. Hey, Matt, what pictures of Cal does Bill O'Brien have? I don't care what other adult men have of other pictures of other people. And did he cheat on his SATs? 113 on the Matt Thomas show. 713212-5-790. 7-13-212-5-7-90.

Craig Ackerman here. When I'm not calling Rockets basketball, I'm following at Sports RV on Twitter. You're listening to the Matt Thomas show on Sports Talk 790. Ross's Twitter account's not bad. It's gotten better in the last year. It was really woeful for a significant period of time. Excuse me?

Oh, I'm sorry. It's been nothing but straight flames. for Matt Sports. Are you almost at 10,000? Do you want to know my latest tweet? Go ahead. What do you got? I bet you somewhere Tyler Bauer is looking doorknoms to try to catch coronavirus so he can yet again inject himself into a national story. You know, I saw the story about him on real sports a couple of months ago.

Oh, God, what did he do now? He tries to put himself in every single story that comes out in baseball. Do you know what he is? He's just a dork. He's a look at me, nerd. Yeah, dork. He's a socially awkward dork. And you know who's backing him up? a lot of this is his father who said he was the same kind of person. What do you mean?

He's a chemist or some sort of biophysicist of some sort. Oh, okay. And they've incorporated a lot of what his dad has learned in life towards Trevor, don't call me Tyler, Bowers' career, that the spin rates and all that kind of stuff has been a huge part of his life. And he was also the first one that kind of said, you know what? These teams are using some of these foreign substances. Yeah, he's been accusing

He's been accusing the Astros of this for years He's gotten a bunch of Twitter spats with a bunch of Houston Astros fans and attack some of them personally. Then this whole thing drops with the Astros and he writes a Players Tribune article I wish I was wrong where he talks about I expected

the Astros cheating for years. Yeah, talking about stealing signs and banging trash cans. Not this your foreign substance stuff that you crocked up, you idiot. And so he writes that where he tries to inject himself in the story there. Then you had sometime in January where some guy on Instagram, it was, uh, was it Scott Brocious's

son or somebody's son talks about Mike Trout using HGH. So he immediately just flippantly tweets, oh yeah, I've heard this too. And has nothing to back it up. Then the whole John Boy buzzer thing. Oh, oh yeah, I've heard this too. Nothing to back it up. No evidence. No further follow up on that.

He just tries to, and then the spring training happens. And he's signaling to the catcher or signaling to the batter what, what pitch is coming. so that everybody can make himself the story. He just wants to make himself the story at every turn is what he's been doing in the last several years. And, oh, by the way, when he gets pulled from a game by Terry Franconi, he chucks the ball into center field. Yeah, I don't think he's got any friends.

He obviously wants to go after people. He's just... He's a loser. Yeah, I want to be something medically wrong with him. Yeah. Because the characteristics, the things he says, the way he conducts his business would be somebody that would be somebody that would be needed either of some psychiatric help or medication or there's just something fundamentally wrong with him.

He's a little off his rocker. Yeah. But how do we get to 10 minutes? Now he's got a new YouTube series and, oh, geez. Well, you know what we can do? Podcasts. You know what the Players Tribune can do? Not put his stuff on there.

Well, I read that. I tried to go into that article with an open mind. It said, I wish I was wrong. I was like, oh, goodness. Well, what did Trevor Bauer know? Right. And it was all talking about himself and foreign substance. It had nothing to do with the trash can scheme.

He wrote an entire article that they put on Players Tribune that was just basically about himself and wanting to be part of the story. So does he have any friends? Because I guarantee you if you took that article that he wrote. Would you want to be his friend? And gave it to his dad. His dad's like, this is brilliant. Well, good for him. I mean, I don't want to crush the guy too hard because maybe he is a little unbalanced or something.

But it's a little much. I don't know. Yeah, you feel sorry for people until they go to their social media. There's something else recently that he did. I'm trying to remember. You can type something. and hit, you know what, I shouldn't say that because that's really mean and vicious, and then hit backspace or hit the delete key. Instead, he hits the sun button.

So I don't have much sympathy for a guy like that. Oh, and now he, yeah, so all this happened and all this went down. He has injected himself into this story. He was trying to make some kind of a pickup league that he wanted to play with everybody. He was trying to start a baseball game. The Sandlot game. Yeah, to try to get everybody to play each other. So there you go. He has injected himself into the story. So how much success does he have on the Sandline game? Do they ever play? I don't think so. It's not a good idea anyways.

They're saying social distancing and don't have these big crowds and he's trying to get a bunch of people together. Idiot. And that's a... So that he can make headlines. And that's a conundrum that unfortunately all these leagues have. I mean, in theory, Ross, this, what do they call it, the three-on-three league, what's that thing called Big Three? The Big Three, yeah. They want to play games.

Ross, they want to play games. But if we're going to groups from 10 and less, there's no possible chance. they can do it. And some of those guys in those big three are at risk, Matt. They're a little older, longer in the tooth. Well, the social distancing is not in play at all.

Unless you're going to, well, maybe that wouldn't be the worst thing in the world, having guys six feet back of you playing any defense. You'd never have to worry about a rebound. Unless at the top of the backboard and clanked back to the top to the mid court. I mean, George Gervin is one of the coaches.

He's like, he's almost 70. Right. We need to protect George Gervin at all costs. I know. You can't, the guys are close to each other playing. That's six. You can't social distance.

The only thing you can social distance and play, maybe soccer? You can't play, you can't play football. Right. Baseball? But even so, with a small roster, three on three. You have to have another person in case somebody gets hurt. It's true. Because somebody will get hurt.

You have camera people that are going to be on the court because you're going to want to offer some sort of good coverage. No. Yeah. As long as the CDC and our president and other people are saying no groups of 10 or more, there's going to be no sports. As much as the big three wants attention and as much as we want a sandlock game, there isn't going to be any of that until we get the call that we can have groups of 10 or more get together. Yeah.

There's no way they can do it. They're trying to take advantage and trying to make some waves. What's the latest on the UFC? I know that they were going to still try to hold all their cards. and WWE was still trying to do their thing. No, WWE is canceled. They're done now? Oh, you mean in terms of the event?

They're going to do it inside the ring with nobody there. That's two people in the ring. That's probably two or three camera operators and an official. So that's probably six or seven, I guess. ATX Ophroddra says tennis to the rescue. Yeah, but you got all the ball, all the ball kids. You've got to touch the tennis ball. If the tennis ball at what 100 miles at 140 miles per hour,

does the tennis, does COVID germs stay on a tennis ball at 140 miles per hour. We need a doctor on this. Here's the thing. You want to have a great contest involving social distancing that people would watch? Yeah, but your mama contest. Your mama jokes? Yeah. You have to stay six to eight feet away?

Yeah. What if they say one that stings you and you want to get in their face? I put you in the other... See, we're not six feet away from here in this room. Yeah, we're not. I'm a little uncomfortable. You have a computer screen in front of you. You're okay. And you're eating food and spewing spit everywhere. I'm not spitting anything. You got your spittoon?

Point being is this. You can't have any athletic event. You really can't. Except your mama jokes. What about... Well, you could do like a hundred meter dash, but everybody had to run all at one at a time. I don't watch track as it is.

The Olympics, I'll watch 100 meters. How do we used to watch Usain Bolt Dominique? Okay, that's once every four years. Yeah, exactly. We are pretty desperate, though. That's what I'm saying. I mean, what else are we going to bet? I think the only thing you can bet on right now is like Australian leagues football or something, rules football.

But in all seriousness, how can the WWE have the wrestling when you are, I mean, look, it is choreographed. They shouldn't, but they want to make money. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. Because they have that little fight pass or whatever, right, for you pay for every month. There's no, if there's no programming, people are going to want refunds. It's $10 a month. I quit it a couple of years ago.

And every month, this is, let me tell you how, let me tell you, I, let me tell you, Vincent Mann works a little bit. I got this email. Are you sure you want to quit? If you quit, you don't get this offer ever again. And that was two years ago. I get emails from them once a month. I had to unsubscribe for them to stop telling me about the latest $8.00 offer they were going to give.

So just when someone tells you, it's not going to, nothing's going to happen again. You don't get another chance. You get plenty of second chance. Just like there are a lot of Texan fans listening to us right now that no friends. Maybe it's not you per se, but there's some friends. friends out there that you have, you ready for this, that are going to tell you that they are not going to go to games anymore? They're going to go.

They're going to watch. I'm not watching anymore. Let me tell you some. I'm roll calling you all on this one big time. You know who you are, Texan whatever. You tell me you're done with the Texans. I guarantee I'll be looking at your Twitter accounts and you'll be taking pictures of yourself in Energy Stadium come September, provided there are games.

You know what? I'm guilty of this too. I said I was done with Texas basketball after they got blind. loan out by 40 on the road to West Virginia. And then I watched like their next three games. Ross, I told you the restaurant in Kingwood that I wouldn't go to because I had a terrible father's day experience. I go.

We're all frauds. I'm a fraud when it comes to swearing off Texas basketball. Yeah, you love it. You even watching old games. No, that's me. Next time, tell Alexa. Playing 790 on I heart radio. Wherever you are, so is Matt Thomas.

There's your 2020 theme. What year was this? Was this 79 or 80? Before that. Right? The wall was late 70s, later 70s, right? What year? Because the reason I want to ask you is because we'll go out and see the beginning.

Hold on, let me guess. I'll say 75. No, I think it's way later than that. Yeah, you're right. What? He was. You're right. 79.

That was wrong. So let me tell you a little bit about this song. This is the Matt Thomas show, by the way. Thank you for joining us. My mom. got a huge incentive to move. We were going to leave Detroit. It was just too cold, depressing,

no jobs kind of thing. And there was a city in the south that was exploding. It's called Houston, Texas. So in August of 1979, we moved from Detroit here down to Houston. My mom was a teacher for H-I-S-D for a couple of years. Good move. Got a huge incentive.

At that time, one of the highest paying salaries for teachers in the country was H-I-S-D. This song created a lot. a massive amount of chaos. Now, I'm not saying that kids were riding schools, and they might have been, but my mom was teaching at a school in inner city. And I remember the fourth and fifth graders

as she was teaching in elementary at the time were rallying behind this song. This was basically an FU to teachers. Right. And so while it was incredibly popular, it created an unnecessary divide between principals, counselors, teachers, and students. That's why I remember this song so vividly, because my mom was just a brand new teacher in Houston, Texas, in a brand new city in August of 1979, and this song was being played in and around that time,

and people were losing their minds because this was a, hey, if Pink Floyd can play this song and can tell us what to do, we're not going to let you teachers tell us what to do. You can't have any meat if you don't have your pudding. It's a classic. I used to love that song as a kid too. By the way, we just sang that. We just drafted our Fantasy Five. And Ross just put a tweet out that's absolutely accurate.

I think of his five songs, three of them I thought aren't the worst things in the world. I wouldn't buy them. A couple of them, you were like, great song. There's not a single one that I went great. But there was a couple that were like pretty catchy. My five are deplorable. I Nicholas I don't guarantee very much

on this show because it usually backfires I think you might win this one Maddie I have a very strong feeling I'm going to win and I might even sweep the damn thing I'm sending the list right now Nick it's not very hard with that era it's that's the thing there were literally 20 songs on my list

almost and that and I didn't even vet some of the ones you picked were pretty good that I didn't even that were blind spots yeah I don't think I got past 1992 and I had like 30 different selections What did, again, I'll repeat this, what were musicians thinking between 1988 and 93? Because a dark time in the old music world. Let's go to Jerry on the southwest side at 139 on 790.

Jerry, good afternoon to you. Hello, Jerry. Is line one just sucking today or is it just us? I think it's him. Okay, well, Jerry call back if you'd like to. Get it together, Jerry. And drop it. Tom and downtown says, so if the wall was an anti-teacher anthem, how'd they feel

listen to Van Halen hot for teacher back in the day. Oh, geez. Hashtag AskMT. That I don't remember. I can tell you that Stacey's mom was kind of a... She's got it going on. Was it was a way to go see your mom's hot friends? No, your friend's hot mom.

Stacey's mom was way after your time. Yes, it was. But I'm just saying it just kind of made you think about it, right? I guess. That and Stifler's mom in old school. Not old school. It was American Pie. That was a classic. It was 1999. Somewhere in that range.

Jennifer Goodwin, I think is her name? No, I don't know if that's her name or not. Who? Jennifer Coolidge. It was Stifler's mom. Oh, is that her name? She's not aged well. Oh, really?

Yeah. That's a shame. It is what it is. But yeah, we all had that. Ross, you didn't have a hot mom when you were growing up of your friends? No. Not a single one? Not that I can think of.

I didn't have hot teachers or friends with hot moms. I had more hot teachers than I had. I have a lot of friends, but that's okay. Let's try Jerry a second time around. Hi, Jerry. Hi, Matt. Hi, Ross. How are you guys today?

We're great. Thank you for joining us. Yeah. I've got a suggestion for the McNair family, this is McNair and Cal, that they put themselves in the Hall of Ring of Fame, the Texans, and sell the team. It'll solve all the problems.

Let me ask you, Jerry, do you understand that they don't want to sell the team because the NFL just gives them millions and millions and millions and millions and millions of dollars of profit every year and they all have to do anything for it I know but they're not doing anything anyway so if they're not doing anything, why don't they just make more money because you're going to be a sucker out there that will pay them more than the NFL.

They can pick instead of millions at a time if they can pick up an extra billion dollars. I don't know why they're going to be. wouldn't consider it. I mean, I know it's a pipe dream, but it's the only thing that'll save. The team is just a disaster. When they're good, they're bad. But they don't know.

But, Jerry, they don't think they're a disaster. That's the problem. That's why they're so tone-deaf. Oh, my God. It's just, it's terrible. Bill O'Brien, I mean, the guy goes four and 12, and you give them a four-year extension. That just shows in the inanity of the whole situation. It's really sad.

Here's all due for you, Jerry. He goes 4 and 12, gets that extension. And what has he done since the extension? They've won AFC South after AFC South after AFC South. Two years in a row. But there's no 9 and 7 is not the bar routine. Come on, man. It's just disgusting.

11 and 5 and 10 and 6? Yeah, I mean, 9 and 7 was not the bar. They got 10 and 11. I mean, everything, and I'm not trying to be contrarian to you, but I'm trying to explain to you what they're thinking over there is that Cal McNair said it in his statement when he gave Bill O'Brien the general manager. We're seeing steady progress. I'm paraphrasing here. We're seeing a teard is on the rise.

We're getting closer. That's tone deaf. Oh, man, that's, that's, I know, I think I had nothing against anybody that's sight impaired, but that's blindness. I mean, it's just, it's, it's really upsetting. Anyway, I know. Just my two bits. Thanks. Have a good day.

Thank you. And I'm going to be really brutally honest with you here in the next 30 seconds. It is not in my nature as a sports talk host to attack particular people. These are the best at their job, supposedly. If you're an NFL player, if you're a majorly baseball player, of an NBA player, if you're a high-end college player, if you're a high-end coach, I'm not built that way. I don't I've never attacked AJ Hinch for a bad managerial decision

or Mike Dantone for a bad rod decision or for that matter Gary Kuby I don't remember ever being me personally so angry at a at a particular coach now Gary had his deficiencies but Gary first of all was a decent human being and you know you know maybe the

time was come to find a new place and he went on and had a very successful albeit brief run in Denver Gary's good coach. The other day, Gary and Kubiak is a Super Bowl winning coach. Ross, nobody can take that away from him. Wade Phillips won that Super Bowl in the defense. Von Miller was just a madman. It's his name on it.

I know, I know. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, he's a mediocre coach with a Super Bowl ring. I mean, there's some of them out there. There are quite a few actually. But, man, I just, there's, why? And I'm not the only one. It's like I'm a different person when I'm talking about Bill.

And I've never met, Bill and Brian and I have never said two words with each other. And it's on a phone call would change that. But I just... What if he invited you over for some Coors' lights? What if he called me over and said, Matt, come see us, talk to me? I might change, but I don't... You think he's a cool hang? No.

Mm-mm. I think he might be able to get after a little bit. But everybody's got good. You think a weekend trip with Bill O'Brien and Lake Charles? He's throwing him back. hitting the dice, you think you would be a good time or you think it'd be miserable. But that's such a small sample size of who the person is. Well, I think that's a, you know, I think that's sacred, Matt, a gambling trip with your bros.

Okay. You know what? I will say that. If Bill O'Brien wants to go with you and me to see, you know, because we sometimes we tell secrets, we pour our souls out to each other. Those road trips get a little weird sometimes. They do. If Bill O'Brien would like to go with us on a road trip, where we basically pour our souls

out to each other for a couple of hours. Then maybe I would change and go, maybe there is something good about him. But I don't know that he would be good. You think he complains the whole time? You think he gets like unseen? Like he makes it up. I don't have time for this.

Like we have, we have dinner, right? Every time we go, we go to wherever, we go to a nice place or not a nice place. Just a regular. You think he's like getting mad at the waitress and asking for stuff and wanting to speak to the manager and making a fuss about everything

and it just makes it uncomfortable? First of all, he doesn't want to go. Second of it goes, he has to drive. he does you think he loses like one blackjack hand and he just loses it he gets real mad yeah like he thinks he had 21 when there's a jack a king and a two i had 21 no you sir you had 22 or do you think like you know how if somebody's playing blackjack incorrectly you kind of just look at me and you're like i'm getting up yeah you think he would like confront them what are you looking at why are you leaving no no no i'm like saying

what he would confront the person's playing bad yeah yeah yeah yeah like hey what are you doing Yeah, by the way, she's got a 10. You're supposed to stay there. He's not invited to go with us to Lake Charles. 146 on 790. And how about Lance McCullors? Hey, Lance McCullors. Back to Matt Thomas.

Turnball, swinging a mid-strike 3. On Sports Talk 790. You're home for Houston Astros baseball. Now that I have your list, I can play a real honorable miss. Is this the number one? Hey, man. It was. This was a jam.

Wait, is it another baby, or is it? sign. I always confused them. They sound exactly all that she wants. Yeah, there's another baby right. That's what I meant. Who sings this? The ace of bass. Wait, are you sure this is and I saw the sign? They sound exactly the same. I always confuse them. I don't think the sign

made it to number one. Oh. Okay, I got to be honest. This is kind of a jam. I will say that with no shame. This is not that she wants is another baby. Oh, this is not terrible. Yeah, there you go, Maddie. Here's another baby.

By the way, one of your songs is so bad. I mean, it's so not bad. I'm insulted by it. Oh, is that right? Yeah. Y'all are not going to want to miss the fantasy files. I think my list is complete. I think my list has a bunch of terrible songs, but you might win.

Mine are atrocious. I'm indifferent about most of yours. I actually like a couple of yours. Yeah, I bet you do. But again, remember, I have horrific musical taste. Yeah, that's why I'm okay. So it's almost like I am approving of your horrible list because I like, but you don't like. Yeah, it's fine.

You can win one. You're due. I'm due. Way overdue. Ryan T. Smith's going to join us at 2 o'clock for his weekly Friday visit, and then we'll get to the Fantasy 5 at 2.30. We look forward to the resumption of the following sports. Yes. Yesterday we were supposed to be over at Frank's Pizza.

Oh, yeah. Today we're supposed to be over at Loft 18. We're going to get out to all those places. Just many times soon. And not for March Madness. How about California yesterday shutting everything down? Yeah.

How long are they on lockdown? I don't want to give wrong information. Okay. Don't. But they're still saying go to the grocery store, go get your gas, go outside, get some fresh air. I mean, can I be honest just for a second? We're all gaining weight over this, correct?

My calorie consumption in the last 10 days is... Skyrocketed. It's 50% more than it normally is. Why don't you order out a salad? I do that, but I feel like I'm eating more often. I've gotten three free meals today alone, and it's only 2 o'clock. You look a little bloated. I'm feeling good.

Well, you look like hell is what Matt's saying. Hell's a strong term. I'd get way worse than this. Give a three-day weekend. But, I mean, are y'all gaining weight? Ross, have you gained any weight? I think I'm holding steady. I think I probably have two or three pounds.

I don't weigh myself. What's probably a smart thing you do? Yeah, he's married. Well, you're married, too. What do you got to weigh yourself for? Just because. So let me give you some unintended, really, really, really, really unintended benefits of this,

this coronavirus. Go on. The Astros haven't been ridiculed in a week. Yeah, that's taking some of the heat off of them, right? And you know what? It might, when we all get together again, the storyline is not going to be the Houston Astros being booed in their first game. Now, it will be a line, but the resumption of live baseball in front of people will be the storyline.

Now, there are going to be a lot of hatred. Don't, don't, we can't be naive to that. And players will get hit by pitch. I think that's going to be dropped. I think, I think. Yeah, the over under of 83 and a half is not going to get hit, is it? No, no, no, no. But I'm saying is that I think just the, though, you.

You know what, we're damn lucky to be out here playing baseball again. Ross, I would say that number. Now, granted, if they don't play 162, it's going to be even dropped. But I bet you the peer of I can't wait to see the Astros for the first time. So I can being X, Y, Z player. I think that's fizzled. Yeah, I think it always was going to fizzle, even if it wasn't. It wouldn't have taken a national disaster to do that or a global disaster.

No, I'm not saying that would have taken it, but I think time away from the game for whatever reason. was going to calm nerves down a little bit. Well, I don't know what kind of nerves we have. I don't know when people are playing. I don't know when they're going to work out and how they're going to play. And when baseball is going to resume. Because, Ross, think about this. If you try to being a player and the umpires have been told from the commission to throw people out

and they're going to be facing some, uh, why would you want to when you're back on the field playing, be dinged with a three or four game suspension? It's not going to happen. It's not going to be a big deal. I will totally 100% agree with you. Uh, we're talking about gain weight. Joan says hashtag pandemic pounds.

See, Joan? Now, Joan has been a long time friend of the show. She's not going to tell us. Women don't tell you how much they've gained. It's not your business, Matt. But Joan could tell us if she wanted to. I'm not asking. It's immaterial to the conversation.

The fact is, she's to gain some pounds. Gain that quarantine 15. Ooh, I like that. Is that what the kids are calling it? Quarantine 15. I'm just going the phrase. That's pretty good. Let me say.

Go hashtag then and give yourself credit. Put at Protonate Low, hashtag Panet. What did you call it? Quarantine 15. I did about the freshman 35. Because you know the reason why part of it is is that, I mean, in all honesty, I'm supporting some of my local businesses in the Kingwood area, some friends of my own restaurants.

And so we're eating out. Let's see, we've had fajitas last night. I cooked the night before. the night before that we had Three Bees Grill which is the home of the Major Market Burger and then we had barbecue

the night before that so yeah I mean we're eating out a lot well you can eat out and still get a salad or something healthy Matt you don't have to get deep fried macaroni every time you say no but I'm getting hardier meals well you can get something light

or at least have a little something light for lunch well really you should have a heavy lunch in a light dinner what do we have for lunch today brisket and bread Ben beans, Coleslaw. Hello, pot.

Nice to see you. Jeez. 713, 212, 5, 790. 713-212-5-790. If you want to get in. B.T.S. Brian T. Smith from the Houston Chronicle is going to join us. Phillips just tweeted out the barbecue that we're eating.

He says, just picked up my Republic barbecue. Great to be back in Texas. That's what we're eating. Wade, call the show. Okay. Not until 220. We put an APB out for Wade Phillips, one of our favorite all-time Cougars. I believe I have his phone number.

One of the greatest defensive minds ever in the NFL. All right. Brian T. Smith or Wade Phillips is coming up next. It is the Matt Thomas show at 157 on Sports Talk 790. Is the Matt Thomas show. The final hour of the Matt Thomas show in one half hour. It's a fantasy five. Worst number one songs of the 1990s.

A man that probably owns 30% of those songs is Brian T. Smith from The Chronicle. BTS, what's going on? Hey, Matt. How are you? And how's everybody listening to 790? Hello, everyone. We're good. We're effectively doing social distancing, which for you and me is good because you're

probably 20 miles away from me. So it works out very, very well. I mentioned to the audience earlier today that I believe the Houston Texans have matched the New York Knicks for being one of the most tone-deaf organizations in sports today. agree or disagree? Let me start up by this, because these are very, very, very crazy unprecedented times. I just tweeted this out. They deserve credit for this.

Janice McNair and the McNair family just issued a press release in which they're donating $500,000 to, you know, the local food bank slash community to help out people specifically the elderly in need during the coronavirus. That's been happening across pro sports, across the NFL. stepped up announced a few minutes ago. So, you know, a very sincere tip of the cap to them for doing that. Hold on on before you go any further on that. First of all, I want 100% agree with you on that.

That's an excellent donation. Can I read you some of the responses off of the Texans' Twitter account? So it's amazing. This is why we are colleagues and friends and like each other and respect each other between the lines and away from the lines. The first thing I did when I saw it was read, and I usually, I try not to read the comments, right? Yes. But I, especially being a columnist, I read the comments.

Matt, it is 100% fire Bill O'Brien. I mean, it's a donation to the local community during the time of the coronavirus and insanity in the world. And every comment, one, I mean, second by second, you know, you should have not, you know, why did you trade Hopkins, fire the own, I mean, you know, fire the, you know, fire yourself, fire Bill O'Brien on and on. I mean, it's just brutal how the fan base feels about this team right now. And first of all, that's a low-hanging fruit. I mean, anything Texan-related

is going to get that. So I just wanted just to put that out, not for opinion or not that that was the right thing to do, I was just saying that even when they're trying to be nice, the vitriol for that man who is running that franchise is enormous. Yeah, and look,

we're a few days removed from this, right? And it still seems surreal. And while it's been explained in many ways, ultimately inexplicable, it's frustrating. It's alienating. And it came, granted, Bill O'Brien's going to say, hey, I'm doing this in the best interest of the football team, which is what he always says to try to make us better. You know, he's going to need a new standard line.

The timing of it could not have been worse. And the kicker, and I wrote about this in the Chronicle, Matt. Pranah.com, they didn't have to do it now. And I've seen people say, you know, the obvious, he was, he threatened to hold out. Hold out from what? They're not practicing. There's no practice right now. OTAs are postponed, probably canceled.

Training can't might get canceled. They are six months away from playing games. The idea that the Houston Texans had to trade DeAndre Hopkins right now. It's one of the most absurd and honestly stupid things I've ever heard from some of the local sports media and that the contract was at the heart of this. As I said, when you put me on the air, minutes of this happened, Matt. This has been building for years. For years between Hopkins and O'Brien, between O'Brien and certain players, there are just players that Bill O'Brien doesn't like. And you might be a third-round pick who's a nose tackle.

you might be Jalen Strong, DeAndre Hopkins, DJ Swearringer. Some of the times O'Brien's been right. Okay, again, this is always piled on Bill O'Brien. Some of the times he's been wrong, and you're not going to bat 100. But to do this at this time, when it didn't have to be done at the start of free agency, they haven't signed anyone that gets anyone excited, and it's the time of the coronavirus. virus. So it was like 10 sword stabs in

the back to Texans fans and you do. You start to wonder how much more do they want to take? How much more can they take? And I'll keep saying this. How much more, he's going to always put on a good face, right? He's always going to do the smooth, swagger, PR

thing behind the podium because that's who Deshawn Watson's always been. But I have no doubt that on some level, Deshawn Watson has to start questioning things with this organization, especially when he's on the verge of a franchise altering franchise record contract extension. How is this going to affect the Texans with free agency?

Now, remember, money is king. So if the Texans want to overpay, Bill O'Brien could be the worst human being in alignment and it won't make any difference. But when it comes down to four or five similar offers, how does Bill O'Brien overcome this when you've got two massive defections with two of the most highly not sought after, but highly recognizable players in the NFL getting sideways with the head coach and general manager? Well, and I'll go one more.

Now, this one was not Bill O'Brien's fault. Everything I've ever known and heard and it's been a lot about the Dwayne Brown situation. That was building before Bill O'Brien took over. That was like Andre Johnson, right, to where, you know, there was bad blood before. that was more about the McNair's, about Rick Smith. You know, Dwayne Brown wanted an extension. The Texans weren't going to give it to him on and on. But let's put this in perspective.

And I think this is very important. And we're talking about the state of the Texans, free agency, everything you just asked. Andre Johnson, Dwayne Brown, Jadevi and Clowny, D'Andre Hopkins. And then you've got 10 or 15 other guys, 20 other guys, you know, who are second tier, third tier NFL guys, many of whom have already washed out of the league.

But that's four of the biggest names in the last decade, and really in Texan's history, since they've only been going to 2002, that's four players that Bill O'Brien, you can throw Aaron Foster in there a little, but that's four players that he, partly because of timing, partly because of other issues,

but he has had to be in the center of and say, we're going to move on from you, we're going to trade you, we're going to alienate you, we're going to go against you, whatever it is. Ultimately, Matt, especially not that he's the GM, he has to wear that. And so, you know, this is a team. They haven't signed anybody. I mean, the biggest name they signed is Randall Cobb, and the Dallas Cowboys made a conscious decision to let Randall Cobb go.

He's an aging veteran. He's at best number two ride receiver. You could easily argue the Texans overpaid for him. there are multiple ripple ripple effects, but you're right. Money is king. We see all the time players sign with bad organizations in the NFL. They prioritize money, guaranteed money over anything. But it just becomes more and more difficult.

The deck is more and more stacked to, you know, can you win a Super Bowl with Bill O'Brien as your coach, Bill O'Brien is your GM, Bill O'Brien running everything. if you keep trading away, letting go your best players, and also alienating your best players, not even in a Brian perspective, Matt, from an organizational perspective that is very, very difficult to do. And it's easy to argue it's unprecedented in NFL history that you're going to alienate all your best players,

move on from them, and still win a Super Bowl with that regime. That's really difficult to do. Brian T. Smith from The Chronicle with us here. Last to Texans-related question. Why do JJ and Deshaun get along with him so well? And that's just on public. That's a real, that's a good question. Man, that's a good question.

I'm going to try to make this to cite. I'm saying this the best way possible. This is not a knock on Deshaun. I would say this about anybody in his position. Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson. I'm trying to think a younger, younger quarterbacks who have been in the league for four or five years, they don't really know any better. Because they haven't played for anybody else, right?

They've had a high school coach, a college coach. Most of these guys now play two or three years in college. They come out. They're superstars. The world revolves around them. They're drafted. They don't get to choose, you know, who drafts them. And this isn't the NBA.

I thought about this a lot lately when it comes to Watson. You know, this isn't the NBA, and after your first contract, superstars run the league in the NBA. You dictate, you form super teams, you say this is who I want to play for, you have your wish list. It doesn't really work like that in the NFL because of parity. Look who Tom Brady just signed with. You signed with a buck in years. He signed with a small market team that has a history of losing. So if you're Watson or – and it's not just him, any other young quarterback, you're going to go with your situation,

and it has to get pretty damn bad for you to for you to force. worse your way out, especially when that organization just won a playoff game. You're the king on Kirby, unless you're O'Brien. Watson's running everything from an on-field perspective. He's the guy now, obviously. And they're about to hand you an insane amount of guaranteed money. So it only makes sense that Watson would stick with the Texans. I think Watt is the more interesting thing.

I wanted for years for J.J. Watt to speak out more. And, you know, for all the injuries, for all the setbacks, he just doesn't do it. He's never really done it. He's great in the community. He's done so many amazing things for Houston and people in need, and he just made a huge donation. So that's not a knock on him. It's just never really, he's never been anyone to go against the grain with the Texans. And I think in a lot of ways, that's hurt what.

You know, he stay with this organization from a true NFL Super Bowl perspective. He has nothing to show for it. The team always disappoints. They trade away their best players. Think about all the guys that JJ Watt has watched come and gone, Matt, since he joined this team. And he really publicly has never said anything other than, you know, we'll get better next week and I want to win and on and on.

At some point, whether it's Watson, whether it's Watt, the guys on the team on the roster have to speak up if they want it to change. And if they don't, then they're going along with it, too. He just might be just too politically correct. Maybe that's just who he is. And you know what? He's built a nice... It's his voice.

Yeah, who we just say it has to be different. Last question for you. And I go back and forth with this. And because I have an NBA affiliation, I tend to lean towards optimism as compared to pessimism. But I'm just going to throw it out at you. As you see the number of corona cases rising with teams and around the NBA, and then we've seen probably five or six in the last.

last 48 hours. What is your gut? And again, I can probably ask you this every week until we get a final decision. How do you feel about the return of the NBA before, or if there will be one? Yeah, I know. I'm glad you asked me. I'm writing about it in Sunday's Chronicle, and I was going to write about the Texans again and actually Watson and O'Brien and how long is Watson going to stick with this? And then I realized that hammered the Texans rightfully too much this week. I needed some positivity. I needed some optimism with everything going on the world. I think there's two parts of this, Matt. Number one, we have no idea.

If Adam Silver doesn't know, if he's going to be on ESPN and do an exclusive national interview with Rachel Nichols and say he has no idea because the world doesn't know when the world's going to be normal again, America doesn't know when America's going to be normal again, then there's no way that I can say, I think the NBA will be back by then. I think the bigger issue for the NBA is at some point,

America and the world will very hopefully get back to normal, right? Whether it's two months, three, six, God forbid it go any longer than that because we're all going to go crazy and we'll all be in the next Great Depression. But it'll get back to normal. And so then it's on the NBA to somehow, you know, be ahead of the curve. They were the first to cancel. They're a progressive league. They listen to their superstars more than any other league. I think there are a lot of amazing opportunities for the NBA here, whether it's resetting the schedule, beginning the league in December, which I feel strongly it should do, and there's a push by some owners to do that.

There are a lot of possibilities to where the NBA and Adam Silver, who's very progressive, who's very modern, can say, you know what, this is unprecedented. We almost have a clean slate. We can improve our league, and Major League Baseball is not going to do that. The NFL's king. It doesn't need to do that. the NBA can do that and take advantage of this in a good respectful way and improve the league. And I think Adam Silver is going to push the league to try to do that. Yeah, and I think there's a lot of money to be made.

I think they can make a lot of money even without fans in the arena. I think television ratings will absolutely be skyrocket. I mentioned this to Ross yesterday. You know how Christmas Day is kind of the de facto start of the NBA season, how there are five games on, and we as America watch all five of. of them, that's how the NBA will be when we get live sports back, because they're the first ones that might be able to get going, because baseball, we're talking about stadiums, we're talking about weather, we're talking about having another four to five weeks of spring training, maybe.

I don't know if they'll beat the majorly baseball to the punch, but it'll be the heart of the thick of the season. TNT and ABC and ESPN, if we ever get live sports again, could really see the biggest NBA numbers they've ever done. And I think that he and the owners of the league kind of feel that could be the case, provided that we can safely put everybody in facilities at least to play the games. I want 100,000 percent agree. And look, they had about 18 games left.

You know, you want to play a few regular season games because there were some teams like the Pelicans that saw the shot to make the playoff. Play five to ten regular season games. Get everybody ready. Cut the first round. We don't need seven games. Cut the first round. Second round if you have to down to five games. play the conference finals, play the NBA finals, baseball will just be starting up, NFL's

not even training camp yet, NCAA's toast. The NBA will rule the world, and it will be absolute must-see TV, and this entire country will be so ready for real sports again, Matt. I mean, whether it's the Lakers or the Rockets or the Bucks or the Clippers, the NBA playoffs always kick-ass, and they will be amazing when they finally come back if they do this. right great stuff we'll talk to you next week friend thanks take care of you and your family all right all right you too matt and all the 790 listeners thank you that's brian t smith from the chronicle i'm i think i think adam silver knows it get the get them back as safely and as quickly as possible

and television ratings for NBA basketball will be out of control when i listen to the matt thomas show i don't even understand the eclectic nature of the show the dichotomy the ostentatiousness the perfunctory that sounds about a smart as LeVar Ball. Back to the Matt Thomas show. Whoever he is. Is this number one, too, Nick? All right, all right.

Hear me out. I'm surprised this one. I don't make it. Hear me out. I don't dislike this song. Not a fan. I will say there are some other extreme songs that I like. They were not big hits.

This one I could do. I could stand for this one. be removed from the face of this was the number one number one song it was more than see oh my god i'm singing yes oh my god to say to make you free oh my god i know some of the words see so you don't dislike it you're right it's not that bad that you love me because i already If I'm singing words of song, it's not awful. It's not bad. Nick.

I stand by my feelings. Texan senior chair, Janice McNair and the McNair family pledging $500,000 to support the Houston Food Bank and Interfaith Ministries. Excellent. Wonderful. That's really good. Great news. That is great news. Well, let's check the mentions.

So, 42 retweets. I don't know if this is funny or not, but it's, it's unintention. You want some mention music? Yeah, go ahead. 249 likes. Yes. It's a great son. 107 replies.

Would you like me to read some of them, Matthew? Read 10 because I think all 107 are about the same. Fire bill. It's a nightmare on Kirby. We've got to wait for the beat drop. Here we go. Can I read one? Sure.

This is Brett Rogi says awesome move by Houston, Texas ownership. Now one more move. be made hashtag fire bill o'brien do you know what else y'all can pledge to do how about fire b o b and just donate his salary at riot a k zero zero zero thank you we'd rather have you and your son fire bill o'brien sell the team from espatillo here's mr mediocre says extend o'brien uh james huang says hi mrs mcnair can you also get rid of hashtag fire o'briand Hashtake Fire Bill O'Brien. Hashtake Houston Texans.

At Rocky Chulo, we don't give an F, fire O'Brien, or we will. I really like this one from at the Rouses. It's just a picture of a Texan bull, which is drawn very well, shooting fire out of his nose and melting Bill O'Brien's head. I just saw that. What's the hell? At Justin Reed underscore era. sell the team you old

F's At Wings football Stop jerking us around Here's at copycat Ninja One Brough Texas Twitter

Just STFU No effing cares what the F dumbass Cal does under its fire That useless piece of blank coach RIP Bob McNair He's rolling in his grave Wow Can you see if they'll donate Bill O'Brien's contract to another team?

O'Hoof. Sell the team, go bleep up some other city. Got them. Oh, at John Harrison says that singing on radio is garbage. Oh, thank you. Have a great weekend. Love you, John. Appreciate you, Harrison.

Listening, Mr. Harrison. Yeah, the mentions are just not good. They're not. and see it's some every tweet they put out let's look we've had a bad week let's do something nice let's give away some money 500 gs

and well the mentions just aren't anymore Arthur blanks given away 5 million but you know 500 gs we appreciate you is that our is that our replies music from here we're going to have to have that really on standby because I feel like every day we're going to have to check the Twitter account

every one of their tweets is getting ratioed even ones about hey protect yourself from coronavirus this is what we're doing to help the community We're retweeting doctors and telling them, you know, not to panic. Every one of them is getting ratioed with Fire Bill O'Brien tweets. So J.J. Watt and his lovely bride, Kahlia, Ohio, donated $350,000. And the entire Texan organization only did $500,000. Is J.J. Watt getting ratioed too?

I don't think so. That's good. Now, in fairness, my guess is if we went to the Astros website, that they're going to get ratioed on, you guys are cheaters, right? Oh, they're being getting ratioed everywhere, too. Even guys like Chandler-Roman, Brian McTaggart, and people who follow the team, and they're getting ratioed for everything,

which is great because I look at their mentions. I appreciate them continuing to tweet, because I go to their mentions, and if somebody makes a stupid trash can pun, I immediately mute them. Yeah. So they're not by themselves in the world of being racialized. It just happens to be that I think they're getting, their numbers are extraordinarily large this week. Yeah.

And Greg Cook has responded to your March Madness tweet. Oh, no. I'm definitely afraid. As you should be. Yeah. It's not a mention. It's just a retweet. He says, Hair, close second.

Matt tweeted, I miss March Madness with a cooge shirt on. And then Greg Cook says, Hair, a close second. And I'm sure Matt will make some sort of night nurse joke in response. Yeah, it's coming during the break. care. All right, ladies and gentlemen, we need five judges to come be a part of our worst number one song Fantasy Five list. Here's how it works. Ross and I have each pre-drafted. You're going to hear a clip of those songs coming up. And it's up to you to decide whether or not my list of the worst number ones is better or worse than Ross's. Now, Ross has won two straight fantasy fives. It is your

opportunity right now. Minimum. Yeah, I mean, you're probably at five or six. six straight. Let me call in so I can be a judge. If you would like to be a judge, if you have any sort of musical taste, we need you to determine the worst list. No, you need people with horrible musical tastes. Yeah. Because you like all my songs.

I don't know what I want. 713-212-5-790. 7-1-3-212-5-790. If you'd like to be a judge for our Fantasy 5, worst number one songs, the 1990s. It's next on 790. The Houston Lunchtime Sports Conversation most. respected by head coach Bill O'Brien. I have a tremendous amount of respect for Matt Thomas.

In his career here in Houston. Of sorts. The Matt Thomas Show. With the Fantasy 5, if you would like to come in and judge, you've got a couple of spots remaining. 713-212-5-790. 7-13-212-5-790. The category this week, songs that were number one on the billy board 100 charts,

number one for at least one week, at any point between January 90 and December of 99. And there were some doozies. And when I mean doozies, I mean awful. There were some great ones, as in greatest, and they were horrible that we even left off the list. Yeah, we could have done a fantasy 60 and still had plenty of room. 7-13-212-5-790.

7-1-3-2-1-2-5-79 if you want to be a judge, best of seven. And if we get to a seventh vote, if we need it, Nicholas makes that final call. I can't wait. Here we go. First up, I go to February, 1992. I think this is a definitive first round selection.

I'm too sexy for my love. Two-sexy for my love. Love's going to leave. The video is awful. The vocals are atrocious. This is a toe-tapper. It is not a toe-tapper. It's a change of stationer.

I don't know. I have to disagree. He's even too sexy for his cat. Every list that I ever saw. The deep lyricism of a right said friend. I knew I was okay because every list that I verified with this had this song in the top 10 worse. Right. Sad Fred with I'm too sexy. I'm rather ambivalent about that song.

Okay. Next. Matt, you're bobbing your head right now. Anyways, but let's move it on. To me, this is kind of a niche thing and it had the horrible dance. and it just swept the nation, and that's the reason why it became a number one. That would be the remix of Los Del Rios,

Macarena. This song... Catchy. Blows! It's toe-tapping. This is not a to-the-this. This is terrible. If you want the quintessence of 90s,

uh, kitch, this is it. This is horrible. This is way catcher than right, said Fred. If you had a CD that had 20 macarena on it or 20 right said Freds,

I'd be shooting myself and had three songs into the macarena. Right said Fred, I think I can get through it. Anyways, next. Here's where you really are going to get screwed up. No, I did not get screwed up. You will lose on this one. I know that this is a great pick because Matt Thomas loves this song.

This is annoying. This woman is 70% silicone, way past her prime. I have no idea how this. nasty auto-tuned crap became a number one hit. The deck game was following. That would be Believe with Cher. And we'll play it right now. Oh, are you kidding me?

This is the oldest song I can remember really noticing heavy use of auto-tune. This is vomit-inducing. This is really good. Shears the goat. One of the goats. No, she's not. No, they just told her she couldn't inject steroids into her neck anymore. as you've switched to the auto tune.

Yeah, this is, this is a horrific song. Do you believe in love after love? It's the terrible techno. It's terrible techno beat. It's, it's auto tune. I might even buy this song after the show. You should. And that would make, that is what makes me feel great about this pick.

Share and Believe in March of 1999, hitting number one on the Billboard chart. Horrible song. We're going to constantly recap these because I'm, want to make people keep it notes here. I have I'm too sexy by right said Fred. You have Macarena and Cher. Next. Maybe one of the most successful and most awful groups of all time,

especially when it comes to all females. They had horrible names. They had horrible hair. Some were kind of hot, though. They might have been attractive, but their hair and their costumes made them awful. What made them made them most awful? Their music.

Luckily, if there's any like 30-year-old girls on the line, you are going to get crushed. But I think you should be good. Want to be? February 1997 hits number one for some ungodly reason. Yeah. Now, yeah, if we were on, I don't know, Sunny, you'd be getting crushed right now. But I think you're safe here. And this song is terrible.

What do you really, really want? I want an ice pick so I can put it through my eyes. Awful. All right. Next up. This is a guy that had some hits in the 80s that I somewhat understood. And then they brought him back around to sing one more song that makes absolutely no sense. It's not good. The lyrics are awful.

And he's struggling to get through it. I had no clue this is the number one hit. November in 1993. Music video is also very confusing. Think about the name of the song. I'll do anything for love, but I won't. Do that. See, now I asked this question.

I think it was on this show. Was Meatloaf successful basically as a troll actor? Was he a serious, take me seriously? I think he was getting serious. He's got concerts all over the place. Well, so is like Weird Al Yankovitch, but he's famous and makes hits because he's kind of a troll out, right? He doesn't spoof songs.

No, no, he's dead serious. Meelove is being dead serious with this? Yep. Okay. This pick was off my radar. It's fine. It sucks. Okay, turn off.

I can't listen anymore. So my next round picks were Wanna Be by the Spice Girls and Anything for Love by Meat Love. Now, I got issues. Oh, I know you do. With your next one, for sure. Let me take to you a place

in October of 1991. There was a young man who was famous for basically being naked and muscled and oiled up. He's also famous because of his brother, right? And his brother was famous. He had not an ounce of musical talent, yet somehow he got himself a funky bunch, and he sang about some good vibrations. This song blows.

It's Marky Mark trying to act like a hip. I bet you do. Marky Mark trying to act like a hip-hop act. He is so embarrassed about this song. If you ask him about this in an interview, he will cut you off. That's how embarrassed he is of this crap. That's how bad. bad this is. Mark

Female lead. Mark Wahlberg pretends that this didn't happen. That's how bad this song is. But if we didn't have the funky bunch, would we have the Mark Wahlberg we have today? It's fine. I mean, outside of like the departed. What's he done? That's great. Oh, this is really good. Matt. I'm downlawed

this song, too. Oh, my God, you're so terrible. I love Marky Mark and I do let me some punky bunch. This song blows. All right. Feel it. Feel it. Matt Come on No, listen to this

Okay, stop No, turn this up Oh, is you sweet Coming at you poise Get out of here, Mark You suck All right, next

This one This one hits home because Oh really We were in Hawaii When this song was number one And we heard of Chris Farley's death And yeah

And then you told David Spade about it Had to Sorry, sorry Thanks Um This song just sucks Just play it

I don't even know January 1998 This is terrible. There's nothing good in this song. Truly Madly Deeply by Savage Garden in January of 1998. Apparently, America was in a heroin-induced coma when this made number one. It's just a crooning song. This song sucks.

I can sing the chorus of this. I might get this song too. Go ahead. No, I want to sing. Do it. This is the poor man. bittersweet symphony. Matt's singing it.

That's how I know it's horrible. All right, let's move on. I got two left. Here we go. This is my fourth round pick. New kids in a block sucked, period. They Uber sucked in June of 1990 when they hit this with number one. Yeah, this song sucks.

The second Walberg to appear on my list. Adam Clinton is not going to be happy that you pick this, though. Oh, blows. Hey girl, turn his song off. It's a save this relationship. off of this one. My last one really,

really hated Shnate O'Connor. Never found any of her songs intriguing, especially the one that hit number one in April, 1990 sucked.

Yeah, you got multiple 1990s. I do. This one's strong. Oh, real! I really know this song,

but I mean, it was written by Prince. Well, I wouldn't tell anybody that. Prince should have performed it. He would have done a much better than this. I thought he did. Was it composed by Prince?

Do you? Oh, nothing compares to how sucky this song is, except step by step. And then she would go, didn't she go on Saturday Night Live and rip up a picture of the Pope or something? Then she got cut off mid-second. How's Shanaid doing right now? She's a two-hit wonder. She's a two-hit wonder. Shade O'Connor. Last pick, it's another one of Matt Thomas's favorites.

This isn't terrible either. First of all, it was ghost-written. Will Smith didn't even write it. It became an insensational hit. It's horrible. The lyrics suck. It shouldn't have been a hit at all. That would be one, 1998.

Getting jiggy with it? Matt! Matt has got the white man biting of the lip going on right now. The head bob. That's how you know it's terrible. Will Smith getting jiggy with it. Yeah, exactly. What?

This song sucks. Getting jiggy with it. All right, here we go. Let's recap the list. Mine, I'm Too Sexy Right Said Fred. Wannabe, Spice Girls, Meatloaf, do anything for love, step-by-step, new kids. Nothing compares to you, Chenate O'Connor. Ross's list. Macarena by Los Del Rio.

Worbable. Share, believe, which is terrific. Awful. Marky, Mark, good vibration. Another good one. Voment inducing. Savage Garden truly madly deeply. Disgusting. Getting jiggy with it by Will Smith.

Sickening. Let's go quickly. Line two. Eddie, who wins the Fantasy 5 roster me? I'm going with Matt because you made a corner put it over the top. Thank you very much. Thank you, sir. And please clear your throat.

Careful. David, who wins a Fantasy 5 roster me? Oh, man. M.T. you do. They're all terrible, but I do still kind of tap my toes to Macarena and believe. So I got to go with you. Thank you very much. Who's tapping their toes to the macarena?

America. Oh, God. Line one. John on 7.90, who wins a fantasy five? Rock. Thank you, John. John gets a vote. Line four, Greg.

It's two to one in favor of me. Greg, who wins a fantasy five? I got to go, SportsMT on this one. Thank you very much. A great weekend. That's three. Let's get Matt to win. I only one more vote.

Patrick on 7. Who wins a fantasy five. Patrick, go. Ross wins. I think you're just getting that every week. What are you talking about? That's three to two. We need two more people to get. We need one more person.

Well, that's true. Because Nick gets the decided vote. So the next person that calls and gets the voted. 713-212-5-790. 7-13-212-5. I think Nick lights your list. You should be good. Nick wants to stay employed.

Oh, please. You can't fire him. That's true. I can't. Waiting. Waiting. Waiting. Waiting.

Waiting. Waiting. See, we're on a delay. 23, 212, 5790. Which are running a delay. Who's got the list of the worst songs? It's the best list of the worst. Best and enter and both.

All right, here. I'm a call in and vote for myself. No, you're not. No, you're not at all. All right. Oh, here we go. Let's go. Is this you on line one? I better not be. Hello, line one. Who do you got Ross or me? Hello? Hello? Yeah. Line one. Who do you got me or Ross? I got Ross. That's Gnail.

Adam Clinton. Wexler. But now sports can't escape this stuff. The 18. I think the Major League Baseball season will be played in 2020. I think the NBA season is going to end up being played out. This afternoon, 3 to 6. Where are you guys at, Houston?

I have fun memories Of stumbling over that VHS back in the day But I had Vogue Was Madonna ever hot to you? I don't know. I was really young when she was in her prime. She was just to me... How do I put this?

She was freaky, so she intrigued you? She was freaky sex. Yeah, yeah. As a young man, yeah. This woman will sleep with just about anybody. Dennis Rodman and Jose Canseco. And that had a certain appeal. Good Lord, she's had a lot of hits.

Madonna? Madonna? Yeah. Madonna? I'm trying to find the song that you all just asked for, and I decided to go through the route of looking through McDonald's songs and that was the wrong way to go. Vogue.

Another one. Like a virgin? This is it Justify My Love? This is awful. Yeah. Really freaky video, too. The videos were better than the music. But it is screaming of, let's go have sex.

What year was that? Justify my love. Amy Grant had Baby Baby in 1991. Okay, you know what? I saw that and I was like, man, let me listen to that again. Oh, it's terrible. I actually kind of like that song. I got to say, yeah.

This is actually sneaky catchy. I should be embarrassed, but I'm not embarrassed to admit. That's how I feel about Believe by Cher. That's exactly how I feel. That song sucks. This is terrible. Yeah, this is terrible. Yeah, I guess it's bad, but I guess when I was like eight, I like this song or whatever.

All right. XFL Sonata release about 20 minutes ago they're completely done for the season there'll be no postseason there'll be no crowning of a champion there is absolutely zero chance Are you okay Matt?

My son's not happy Are we declaring the roughnecks XFL champions since they were the only undefeated team? I'm sure the people that go to the games certainly are. Can they hang a banner? No.

No. Why not? Because you only hang batters when the lead that you are playing, actually say that you want it. Well, the Florida State Senate declared Florida State national champions and basketball. UCF, they also declared UCF national champions of football. UCF declared themselves national champions.

Nobody else did. I think the Florida State Senate did, too. Okay, well, that's not a governing body. That does not. Yeah, it is. It's just bunch, I mean, it's a bunch of meth heads and they're on basalt and whatnot, but, you know. Okay, so you're telling me, I'm assuming Florida. As long as you're on basaltz and meth heads, you can declare champions.

Yes. Okay. Like they are at TDECU Stadium. So, yeah, the XFL. will not have any postseason or any sort of get together this season. It's like an episode of Dallas. It never happened. Okay.

Thank you very much. Wex is like, I got you. You know if Wex gets the reference. It's from pre-1994. Yeah. All right. We're going to cross talk here, Wex? What's going on with the West?

The latest major Texans signing. We'll dissect that one. Latest is a strong, well, actually, it's not a strong term. It's a major is a strong term. Yeah. And by the way, I want you all to read the mentions of the people after the Houston Texans gave away that half a million dollars today. Platton made a note of that in his...

tweet about that? You do not want to ever look at the run down. Do you can justify my love just now? It's awful. Not for me, it wasn't. I was about 12 years old. As I said, she reeks of for us, young, young, and her with that video and basically

anything from 93 from Janet Jackson helped me become a man. I mean, that's just the only reason. We don't need these details. Hashtag stress relief. By the way, Matt, did you notice we did worst number one, 1990. songs, Clinton, and he had, he had step by step by new kids in the block on it. Why are you going to put a new kid's song on there?

Because they suck. They made a lot of money. They still tour. He put share of believe on there. That's a great song. See, thank you. That's a matter. Number one.

That's a great song. So wait, was this list supposed to be the worst? Number one song. Like actual worst. The worst. Like bad. And you put what on there? What were your five?

Neither have you had Ace of Bass on there? That's what he plays. Hey, I kind of sneaky like the Ace of Bass of Bass songs. I can't believe neither of y'all. Yeah. Did they both sound exactly the same? Nobody went to 1990 for this one.

Hey. You shut your dirty horn mouth right now. This is how we end the show. You might start the next show with this. Now, he did a rip off David Bow and Queen. Ridiculously. And by the way, Queen said, you better apologize. And he's like, no.
