Speaker 1: Sean Harris Football, and it's a silent reporter and I'm

00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 1: joined right off the bat by my buddy bro Grew Jority.

Speaker 1: you doing? I'm good, I'm good. It was a good weekend.

7
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: It was a good weekend. So you and your family,

8
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: you saw my family and yes, yes, Charity Classical. It

9
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:24,799
Speaker 1: was a fun time. That was fun. We'll talk about

10
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 1: that in a little bit. Cool. How about the fact

11
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: that Saturday night I was just thinking about this, So

12
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: Saturday starts with the Dynamo and all this is going

13
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 1: on downtown. Yeah, except for one thing, but Dynamo win,

14
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: get a good win. I think it was two to one,

15
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: I remember correctly. Then the Astros were playing in Mexico,

16
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: right in Monterey, take on the Angels and just destroyed

17
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: them on Saturday, I think scored fourteen. Yeah, and then

18
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 1: they scored ten the next day, so they got to

19
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: sweep of the Angels down in Mexico, which is very cool. Which,

20
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: by the way, I'm I'm sure you saw this video.

21
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: Take a little of the little kid with Alt two

22
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: tangent here. Yeah, little kid meeting Joe. Yeah, that was

23
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 1: that was really cool. I mean, and I say that

24
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: as somebody that's met two and when he walks in,

25
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: you go, you're the best player in Major League Baseball.

26
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 1: You might be the best player in astro's history. Like really,

27
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: like you look my daughter, I I but it was

28
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: just then you realize because of the presence that he carries, well,

29
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: it's just amazing. Well it's hard not to root for

30
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: somebody who, like you said, is one of the best

31
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: in the game, but is so relatable because of their stature,

32
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, think about it. I used to

33
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: love Billy Wagger because he was Wow, he was like

34
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 1: five nine and through one hundred and five miles per hour,

35
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, but but two Days taken it

36
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: to a new level, right, I mean, Wagner was great,

37
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: borderline hall of famer. Some would say he should be

38
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer. I mean, if Al two Day

39
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: keeps doing when he's doing, he's gonna get in first ballot,

40
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: no problem and go down as the greatest astro ever.

41
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it was. It was awesome to see

42
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: and he's very He's someone it's very easy to identify with,

43
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: Like he's you've met him before. He's awesome. I got

44
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: a chance to interview him one time before a game

45
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: and it's one of my favorite photos because somebody took

46
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: a photo of me. It was just it's it was cool.

47
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: You know, he's a cool guy to talk with, and

48
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: it's not surprising to see the people have that. Yeah,

49
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: I wasn't surprised. It's a lovable guy because I'm I

50
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: thought about our trip to Mexico and it's a little different.

51
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: You know, Texans Raiders, you don't get a chance to

52
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 1: kind of meet the crowd ahead of time, whereas baseball

53
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: you have that opportunity. But I just thought about obviously

54
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: there's no professional baseball down there, so when they get

55
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 1: an opportunity to see professional baseball player, then they see

56
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: a player of that stature. Yeah, and it's somebody that

57
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: they can totally and completely relate to. They can look

58
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: at mom and dad, brother's sister and uncle whatever and say, hey,

59
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 1: he's I'm I'm his size. I can be like Josel two.

60
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I can imagine he's a role model for

61
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: so so many. So then you had that on Saturday.

62
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 1: If you haven't a chance to see that video, I

63
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: think MLB dot COM's got it. I'm sure the Astros

64
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: twitter feed, So go check that video out. It's very

65
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,519
Speaker 1: very cool. This young man meeting josel two Bay for

66
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: the first time was was really really interesting because you

67
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: could also see on Jose like he wasn't he wasn't

68
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: embarrassed by it. He wanted to. He wanted to the

69
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: first time that's happening, Yeah, he probably, but he wanted

70
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: the kids to like, yeah, he wanted the kids just

71
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: like blacks man, I'm just I'm just Jose Yeah, yeah,

72
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: you know, like it's cool, it's all right. And that's

73
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 1: so it was really really neat how he's looking after

74
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: the kids. So you had Dynamo winning, he had Astros winning,

75
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: the Rockets winning the overtime game, which was phenomenal on

76
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: so many different levels, and then Steph Curry missing the

77
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: dunk at the end, which is great, which, by the way,

78
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: David's and Steph Curry love him. Warriors. Steph Curry, I

79
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: can't stand him, man, they cry, I cannot among us.

80
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: Hasn't missed a dunk like that, though, no, I trust me.

81
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm white. I've missed many a dunk like that.

82
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: But from that standpoint, I don't know that I've ever

83
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: seen two teams whine and cry more about calls. It's

84
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: funny you say that because than those two teams, especially

85
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: the Warriors. There's a great podcast out there by a

86
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: guy named Michael Lewis, the author Yeah Moneyball, Blindside, Yeah,

87
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: and Blindside, and a bunch of other yeah liars poker.

88
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: But he's got this podcast out. It's a it's a

89
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: bunch of them, but the first one deals with the

90
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: NBA and refs and officiating and how it's gotten so

91
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: much better, but they're still getting far worse criticism from coaches,

92
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,359
Speaker 1: priors and fans. But it's it's pretty interesting. Makes you

93
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 1: think about things a little differently after taking I think

94
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: you're right. I think deficiating has gotten better. It's just

95
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: become like all the technology they've invested, the technology that's invested,

96
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,559
Speaker 1: obviously social media, so people can share all the different

97
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: videos and all the different things. I go with it.

98
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: I will say the NBA playoffs last few weeks, especially

99
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: the Nuggets, Blazers and the Rockets Warriors. Just over the weekend,

100
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: the two games the Nuggets and Blazers played, and the

101
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: game that the Rockets and Warriors played, I mean, unbelievable,

102
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 1: unbelievable four overtime game, and then the one last night

103
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: with the Blazers and Nuggets went deep, deep in the game.

104
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: I think it's the three or four one went for

105
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: Denver's just amazing. So yeah, that and then you had,

106
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,239
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, the JJ Watt Charity Softball Classic, which

107
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: was back after they did. Jedj didn't have it last years.

108
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 1: He was rehabbing from his injury, and he decided to

109
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: have it again. It was back at Minimey Park. I

110
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: kept saying to my daughter, and my daughter and I

111
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 1: went and the second time she's gone by. And that

112
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: used to be at where the Skeeters play field, and

113
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: I imagine they probably filled that place up pretty good

114
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: because the crowd was anything like at Constellation Field like

115
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 1: it was at Minmey Park. I don't I don't know

116
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 1: where they were to put people. It was. It was

117
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: overflowing and it was it was a great experience there,

118
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: and it's a great experience at Minimey Park. Been to

119
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: both this time. I was there kind of watching with

120
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: the family like we're talking about. You know, it's they

121
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: do an awesome I mean, it's very well organized all

122
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: you know. His teammates are all there, and he reciprocates.

123
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 1: He's cool like everybody that comes to his he winds

124
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: up usually go to their events. Because he was at Whitney's. Yeah,

125
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 1: it was a good time and he won the home

126
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: run derby poor Shane Leckler. Just you know how things

127
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: go in the you know this, he could probably like

128
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: crank out thirteen in a row. Yeah, and he winds

129
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 1: up not getting even out of the prelimb. So well,

130
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: at that point, who was the first guy in the

131
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: locker room? First one here, two bats in the bag?

132
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: Remember second place, bro? Look at you all right here,

133
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: gonna be cooler. Yeah, JJ was given Shane a little

134
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: bit of business, but Shane was very happy because right

135
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: in front of his locker was a nice arctic cooler,

136
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 1: not like the one that we have over there. So

137
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: Shane was Shane was none too disappused for the boat,

138
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: Yeah he was. He was none too disappointed. In fact,

139
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: we talked to JJ earlier in the week and we

140
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: asked him about the charity Softball Classic, and I asked

141
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 1: him if Shane Leckler was going to participate. First of all,

142
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: is Leckler invited back? Does he get invited even though

143
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: he's no longer playing. He has a lifetime invite, But

144
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: it seems like he has more and more demands every year.

145
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: So now this year he's not playing in the NFL anymore.

146
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: So it's cool. There's gonna be a little bit more

147
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: full this year. But yeah, he's coming back. He is

148
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: adamant about being in the Home Run Derby even though

149
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: he got he lost last time, so I'm very excited

150
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: to beat him again. And then I'm gonna have him

151
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: pitch for a team defense because he's been a great

152
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: pitcher for us through all the years. And if he

153
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: gets hit in the face, he's not on team. So

154
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: who else is a contender to win this Home run Derby?

155
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: That's what we were discussing, because every year I have

156
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: guys be like, you gotta put me in the Home

157
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: Run Derby. You gotta put me in the home underby

158
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: because you can only have ten in the Home Runderby,

159
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: so I can't put everybody in. Every year, these guys

160
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: begged me, and I put him in and they'll hit

161
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: zero or one and I'm like, you beg me to

162
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: put you in. Last year it was DJ Reader. DJ

163
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: Readers like I played baseball in college. Yeah he did.

164
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: That's so hard though. Oh but he was like, I'm

165
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna hit bombs, man, I'm gonna hit bombs.

166
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: And I was like, all right, put you in Zilch Like, so,

167
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's really with me and Shane push back.

168
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: When Kush was in and he played in it, he

169
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: he could really hit it, so he was a contender.

170
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: But hopefully I think A J. McCarron might have a chance.

171
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: He's a baseball back. He called it a J. McCarron. Yeah,

172
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: got to the finals, Like AJ didn't win, but JJ college,

173
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: he said, A J. McCarron was the guy. I see,

174
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: we got there late to the festivities. Did Aikins play

175
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: in the that's criminal because the guy I mean he

176
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: played the miners for four years. I know I think JJ.

177
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 1: I think J Yeah, I think JJ left him out.

178
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: I think he realized, Okay, Aikins might be pretty good. Yeah,

179
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: he played the minor leagues. That's a little different. Like

180
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: I mean DJ Reader played in college. He was, and

181
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 1: he really didn't play. He was on the team, but

182
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: he didn't really play. He didn't play a long he

183
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: said this, he's yeah, yeah, he's very up front of him.

184
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: And then aj played in high school. I don't think

185
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: he played in college because at that point he was

186
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 1: Albam quarterback. He played in high school. You can tell

187
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: the guys that have played before. Yeah, you can definitely

188
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: tell that. Jordan Nakins took one swing and hit one

189
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: of the Crawford boxes. It was like, it's too easy.

190
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: I literally turned to my daughter and I said, I said,

191
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: you know, Jordan played in the crack And I was like,

192
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: as the balls and near was like, oh, that's Crawford boxes.

193
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: I was like, by the way, honey, he played in

194
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 1: the minor league. Eas and then he hits another one later.

195
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: I mean both just distroyched him, just torched him. But

196
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: a really fun, fun evening and a cool event to

197
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: go to. And with all of that happening in the

198
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: city of Houston, all the teams represented the Dash ended

199
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: up playing the next day. Jed's girlfriend ended up having

200
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: a goal in that so it was a pretty incredible

201
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: weekend for Houston professional sports teams. Was really really neat weekend.

202
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: But the Southball Classic itself, there's so many there's so

203
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: many things going on. I don't know about you, Drew,

204
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: But as much as I love it, I hate it

205
00:09:55,559 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: because I get so worried about about them being out there,

206
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: because we're getting hurt about that hurt. So we we

207
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: had a little Texans get together up on the second

208
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 1: level and so it's nice. My kids enjoyed the sladders

209
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: in the chicken fingers. It was it was very nice.

210
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: Did you get the ice cream in the bowl you hated? Yeah?

211
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: They got two Navy Astro bowls and one of the orange.

212
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: I wanted the orange one. My daughter got the orange one.

213
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: I wanted to. I wanted the orange one, but they

214
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: gave me the blue one. I wasn't gonna complain about it,

215
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:26,839
Speaker 1: and I took it. I washed it out and took

216
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: it home. I'm going to They're not like the Dairy

217
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 1: Queen ones. Dairy Queen used to have the really small ones.

218
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: He's a big Yeah, he's a really you put this

219
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,199
Speaker 1: you probably could have put it on Annie's head. I

220
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: could have. We did do that joke. But she's got

221
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: it like her father. She's got an enormous. Uh, like

222
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: one of those pickle barrel heads. You know that on

223
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: top of all four of my children have pickle barrel

224
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: heads on top of like a toothpick. Don't worry, Jack

225
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: got my head. So he's got like a size eight melon.

226
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: It's just it's massive. Anyways, we go to sit down

227
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 1: and write. As we sit down in our seats, I

228
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: swear to you, I look out there and I see

229
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: Justin Reid going to the plate. Now, if you've seen

230
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: our fifty three on Justin Reid, you know that he's

231
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: dealing with a He's got his left wrist which was

232
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: cast it up near the end of the season. Onto

233
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: the playoff game, he had a cast on it. He

234
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: had surgery in the off season. He had a brace

235
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 1: on that left wrist. And I'm like, he's not about

236
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: to swing as sure won his lead hand. He was

237
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 1: going with his his control hand. So he was doing

238
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: like the brag stocked and skills and drills camp that

239
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: he used to go to you of age back in

240
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 1: the eighties. So he was just dealing with one hand

241
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: and one hand, and he nearly think he want to

242
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: brags camp. I don't think he nearly hit one out

243
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: one hand. Yeah, well he's a hell of an athlete player,

244
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: but he was a you know, he grew up playing

245
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 1: soccer too. I will know if he played baseball at all,

246
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: he might have it looked like he did. Yeah, he

247
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: might not have. Him he's that good of an athlete.

248
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: He is a great athlete, a hell of a soccer player.

249
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: He tweeted out later on that he was the mini

250
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: game MVP because between innings JJ had these different games

251
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: that the units would play and whoever one gotta run.

252
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: And so there was the the little bouncing yeah Dato

253
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: sack Rays. There was the tricycle Rays. There was like

254
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: this the bouncy duck thing, the bounce you know that

255
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 1: thing that I don't even know what you call it,

256
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: but it's like big rubber ball. You gotta handle on it,

257
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 1: you kind of bounce and kind of yeah. And so

258
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: Justin Reid was killing it and then he makes that catch.

259
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: So sitting behind me and I don't remember, I don't

260
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: remember who was. In fact, I didn't look behind me

261
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: here it was, but I heard somebody and I think

262
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: it was in our I think he was in our

263
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:41,719
Speaker 1: in our training staff. When when Justin went to the

264
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: plate to hit. I heard him say he better be

265
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: swinging that bat with one hand, and he did. Then

266
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: he makes the catch later on, which I got to

267
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: thinking about later on. It's a great catch, but he

268
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: had put the glove on his throwing hand, which was

269
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: right handed, and I started thinking, he's not doing it.

270
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:03,839
Speaker 1: He's not doing it with his normal hand, with his

271
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: normal hand, his normal hands the lefty where he had

272
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: the cast. So then he falls and I'm like, oh god,

273
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm holding my breath, takes the fence down.

274
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 1: He takes the fence down, but he never puts his

275
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: left hand on the ground. He just lands kind of awkwardly,

276
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: but he lands and kind of lands with his body

277
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: and his arm down, and I'm like, he gets up

278
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,079
Speaker 1: and I'm just like, oh my god. That was incredible,

279
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: just the fact that he didn't it was awesome. Hit

280
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: that left wrist. Weeks took one off the chest one time,

281
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,319
Speaker 1: right he was pitching for the offensive side and he

282
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: took on off the chest. W Other than that, seemingly

283
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: everybody came through unscathed, and I was like, oh, thank god.

284
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: You know who was kind of missing that one. One

285
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: of the most memorable moments from these games. I think

286
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 1: it was the second year he did it, maybe fourteen

287
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 1: fifteen ish. So the third year is out at the

288
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: Sugarland Field. But Toro was pitching one of the innings.

289
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: I can't remember who he's pitching too, but the guy

290
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: was out and Cushing was playing first base and they

291
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: kind of whipped it around. They actually went around the

292
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 1: horn after the alta and then so Cushing got the

293
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: ball last, and he's at first base ya, and he

294
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: threw it as hard as he could back to Toro,

295
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: and Toro caught it. Because Toros a hell of an

296
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: athlete himself. Toro caught it, but you can tell it

297
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: hurt like hell to have the big goal. He had

298
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: a regular glove on. He caught it, and he like

299
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: stared Cushing down. You could see the anger even though

300
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: he had on a mascot head like he I mean,

301
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: because Cushing through it full force, just from first to

302
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: the pitchers. It was great. Yeah, it was random memories.

303
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: I miss coach Cushing at the Softball Classic. He's he's

304
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: the absolute best. Drew. You're the mat man anytime, man.

305
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: This is fun. Coming up next, we have some comments

306
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: from Bill O'Brien and Brian Kane. He was in Texans

307
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: golf tournament was today, and before those two took to

308
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 1: the golf course, they spoke with the media about a

309
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: few rookies, about a free agent acquisition that took place,

310
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: and of course the rookies coming to town for Rookie

311
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: Minicamp this weekend and what to expect from them. We'll

312
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: have all that next right here on Texans All Access. Boy,

313
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: it's been a big weekend actually, the last couple of

314
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: weekends for the city of Houston. Last not this past

315
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: week and the weekend before you had the NFL Draft

316
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: with the Texans. Then this weekend you had the Astros

317
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: in Mexico getting a couple of wins. You had the

318
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: Rockets on Saturday night, you had the Dynamo, you had

319
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: JJ Watts Softball Classic in it. Today you had the

320
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: Houston Texans Golf Tournament taking place out in Richmond in

321
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: my old hood. And it's one of those opportunities that

322
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: really isn't Taylor made for me to be out there

323
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: and ask a bunch of questions, But we kind of

324
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: make it that way. If you know, you get a

325
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: lot of Texans in one place, you a com McNair

326
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: out there, you get Brian Kaine, you get Bill O'Brien,

327
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 1: you get the players. Why not asking a few questions

328
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: and they're gracious enough to give up their time. And

329
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: obviously they spoke on draft weekend. But there are some

330
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: news the last week or so that Bill O'Brien and

331
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: Brian Gaine were able to speak to. And one of

332
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: those that really is interesting to me and always has

333
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: been interesting to me, is the undrafted free agent process

334
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: and some of those names have trickled out now the Texans,

335
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: we have never announced those names well ahead of schedule

336
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: because the Texans a want to see who is going

337
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: to show up. And I'll give you a perfect example

338
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: that Jordan Tamu is a quarterback for Roll miss. He

339
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: has been offered a try an invitation to come work

340
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: out for the Texans during their rookie minicamp, but he

341
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: also got an invitation from the Oakland Raiders. So last

342
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: week he spent in Oakland going through their rookie minicamp.

343
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: And I don't believe now I have not looked to

344
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: be totally sure, but I have not seen anything saying

345
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: that he is signing with the Raiders. At any point,

346
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 1: so I believe he will be coming to Houston's rookie

347
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: Minicamp this week. So those things can change at the

348
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: drop of the hat. So a lot of times Texans

349
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: don't like to announce that until literally the day before

350
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 1: or the day of which Mini Caamp will be Friday.

351
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: I think they'll show up on Thursday. They'll do much

352
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: stuff on Thursday, kind of a tour around the building,

353
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: if you will, kind of figure out where everything is

354
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 1: and then go from there. Because some of the guys,

355
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: either drafted guys, some of them haven't even been on

356
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: a visit so they've never been the Energy Stadium, so

357
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 1: they got to go through all that. So they don't

358
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: really announce it until they pass physicals and you know

359
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,719
Speaker 1: for sure. But one guy that has been very intriguing,

360
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: in fact, we talked about him, and I think partially

361
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 1: because he played at Ohio State and he played a

362
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 1: glamor position at Ohio State, and that's Johnny Dixon. Brian

363
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: Gaine was asked about the signing of Johnny Dixon, the

364
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 1: wide receiver from Ohio State, as an undrafted free agent

365
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 1: rook Johnny dixons an undrafted free age that we've signed

366
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: from Ohio State. He's got outside inside versatility, whereas not

367
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: just a one whole player, is not just a slot,

368
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: He's just not just a perimeter guy. Fo five foot eleven,

369
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 1: about two hundred, two hundred and five pounds. He ran

370
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 1: four or four coming out, played behind, and played with

371
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,120
Speaker 1: a lot of good, good wide receivers at Ohio State.

372
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,959
Speaker 1: We're excited about his promised potential and equally we think

373
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: he can help us on four downs. So he's got

374
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: a great opportunity ahead of him. One of the things

375
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 1: that I love about Rookie Minicamp is the fact that

376
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: the rookies got to earn their stripes. And by earning

377
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 1: their stripes, I mean they've got to earn themselves a

378
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 1: permanent locker. So the other day I was walking out

379
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: towards where we parked a different location now and so

380
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 1: we go out a different location, and so as I

381
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: was going out through our dock lot, I saw all

382
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: the blue lockers that go right down the middle of

383
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 1: the locker room for all the rookies. So all the

384
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 1: rookies kind of get a blue metal locker, and then

385
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 1: if they make the team, then they get a permanent locker.

386
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: So you know Titus is going to go from blue

387
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: locker to get a permanent locker, but you see that

388
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:02,719
Speaker 1: I still as blue lockers. I thought, oh man, here

389
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,479
Speaker 1: it comes Rookie Minicamp. And Bill Obriant was asked about

390
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 1: the rookies coming at the end of this week and

391
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 1: they're going into that three day mini camp and how

392
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 1: valuable that time is for those rookies. It's a great

393
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 1: rookie class. We're really excited about it, the drafted guys,

394
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: but also the college freedence and also some of the

395
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: trial guys we have in. We're really excited about working

396
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: with those guys. And then the exciting part for us

397
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: as a coaching staff is to is to begin to

398
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 1: you know, introduce them to our culture here at the

399
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,679
Speaker 1: Houston Texans and and that's a big part of the weekend.

400
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 1: And then we'll get a few practices in maybe two

401
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,120
Speaker 1: or three practices in meeting time and we have unlimited

402
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: time with them, so it'll be a really great weekend.

403
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: There's certain things, no doubt abound it that you're teaching

404
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 1: them about routine and you know, relative to the nutrition,

405
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: to the training room, to the weight room, to sleep to. Obviously,

406
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: the things that we believe in at the Houston Texans

407
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: are culture, you know, looking for guys that are smart,

408
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 1: tough and dependable guys. And then we go out on

409
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 1: the field and watch them run around a little bit,

410
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 1: you know, in shorts, you know, with a helmet on.

411
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: That's about it. So it's not real football, but but

412
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 1: we do get a lot a lot accomplished in the weekend.

413
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: So just to recap, the rookies will be here later

414
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 1: this week. I know there were some teams that did

415
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: their rookie mini camp last week. I guess they wanted

416
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: the players to get in the building as soon as

417
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 1: possible and get it going. Bill Brian said after the

418
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: draft they like for the rookies to come in the

419
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: second weekend because then they just keep them here for

420
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 1: that weekend. If they had come the first weekend, then

421
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: they wouldn't keep them through the weeks and they'd have

422
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 1: to go then they'd come back. So they just figured, look,

423
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 1: let's just do it the second weekend. Then they're here

424
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,679
Speaker 1: for the duration through Rookie Mini Camp that moves right

425
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 1: out into OTAs, that moves into Mini Camp, and that

426
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: goes into the desert before they start their first training

427
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,199
Speaker 1: camp here in the city of Houston, so that's when

428
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: it all starts. This week. The rookies should be here,

429
00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: I believe Thursday. Practice starts on Friday. Left three practice Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

430
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: Don't know of those what we will be able to

431
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: see it. I know Sunday we have never been able

432
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: to see Friday, Saturday. Maybe maybe just Friday, maybe just Saturday.

433
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: We'll find out later this week if we were able

434
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 1: to go out to rookie minie camp and check things out.

435
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: But we get to see Titus Howard, Max Sharp being,

436
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: Lennie Johnson, and the guys in the draft class, but

437
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,959
Speaker 1: also guys like Johnny Dixon, and we'll find out who

438
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: the all of the undrafted rookie free agents are. Now.

439
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: One guy who will not be at that rookiemunty camp

440
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:29,439
Speaker 1: but was added during the week last week, I think

441
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 1: late in the week was Jolilla die Safety of the

442
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,679
Speaker 1: LA Chargers, and Brian Gaine was asked about him today

443
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 1: with great respect. You know, we appreciate all of Andre

444
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: house contributions to the team, but when we lost Andre,

445
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: you know, there were still a little bit of avoid

446
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: in terms of the veteran experience at the position. So

447
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 1: here's a guy who's played both strung safety and free safeties, played,

448
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 1: has played in some playoff games, and he's an experienced

449
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 1: bet come in and contribute anyway that he can. And

450
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 1: we saw it as an opportunity to improve the depth

451
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: as a relay to the experience at the position. Guy

452
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: that's been a Mottle starter, backup and a substitution player,

453
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: and equally have been a fourth down player in his past.

454
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: If it's our culture, if fits our program, fits our expectations,

455
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: we're excited to have them. Couldn't put it in any

456
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 1: better as Brian Gaine just did there. I will say,

457
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 1: if you go check out my football one to one

458
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: on Julia Die, you'll see one thing that maybe you

459
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 1: didn't expect about Julile Die and the fact that in

460
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: the playoff game against multiple Ravens he played linebacker. I

461
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 1: know it sounds strange, but let's go read it. You'll

462
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: figure it all out, no question about that, all right.

463
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: Coming in next is dep City. She's gonna stop by

464
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: for gut reaction. The Cults have a scary offense. Wendy

465
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 1: Knicks was a babysitter for an NFL draft pick and

466
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 1: Game of Thrones left the Starbucks cup on a table.

467
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 1: I will get DPCDUS gut reaction on all of that

468
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 1: next right here on Texans Access one. Final segment of

469
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: Texans All Access. I am John and joining me. Now's

470
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 1: a good friend? Deep Citter, Deep, how are you doing?

471
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 1: I'm great, John, how are you? I'm doing okay? DP you.

472
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: I've been doing a series of our draft picks, seven

473
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: of them from Titus Howard all the way through Colin Glaspia,

474
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 1: and you've been doing Meet the Draft Pick. And yes,

475
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: I go through that process for the most part as

476
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 1: I'm kind of getting ready for the players, but they're

477
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 1: not ours yet, so I don't go as in depth

478
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 1: as you typically do. But was there one that stood

479
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: out to you as being perhaps the most interesting of

480
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: the bunch? You know? It's it's funny because I really

481
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 1: don't go as in depth as you do on players

482
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: because I just figure we'll want to become Texans. That's

483
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: what I'll really focus on them. So for me, it's

484
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: kind of a good way to get to know all

485
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: these guys since we add them all in the same day,

486
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,159
Speaker 1: and I want to be able to differentiate not just

487
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 1: by school and position, but more about their personalities that

488
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:46,919
Speaker 1: when we meet them, we have a sense of them, right,

489
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 1: so that you know, they all are interesting in their

490
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:50,959
Speaker 1: own way, because I really don't know much about their

491
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 1: personal life. But you know, I think Lonnie Johnson obviously

492
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: his story, it's an incredible story. And I grew up

493
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 1: in Indiana, so I know very I know a lot

494
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: about scary Gary and Gary, Indiana. I mean, it's the

495
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 1: home of the Jackson Five, but it's known for it's

496
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,159
Speaker 1: the murder you know, the murder rates are you know,

497
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: the highest in the country. The fact that he, you know,

498
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: went through so much hardship and lived in public housing

499
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 1: in Gary, Indiana, of all places, I find his story, um,

500
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: really fascinating. But that was something that you know, he

501
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 1: had talked about the day he was drafted on the

502
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: conference call with the media. M Charles Amena, who just

503
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 1: in in digging around about him, I learned quite a

504
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 1: bit on his Twitter page it says Rip Newt and

505
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: that's a good friend of his that he went to

506
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: high school with, who who had a heart condition and

507
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: passed away suddenly. And so it was his lifelong friend

508
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 1: Newton and Nante. He had a heart defect, so there

509
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 1: were teammates in high school, and so you know, he

510
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 1: has a just sort of you know, in an homage

511
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 1: to him on his on his Twitter, So I, you know,

512
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: I kind of like to sort of get a sense

513
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 1: of people and where they come from. And also, you know,

514
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 1: he grew up everyone's he grew up in Dallas, but

515
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 1: really he was born in Houston, right, He was Warren

516
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 1: in Houston. Yeah, and then his family moved to Garland

517
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 1: when he was about one. And then obviously we know

518
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: he Worre number seven and number ninety because of Jadevan Clowney.

519
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 1: But you know, his parents both immigrated from Nigeria. So

520
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 1: I one of his I want to say one of

521
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: his parents's names, Sunday, his dad. His dad is Sunday.

522
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,640
Speaker 1: His mom's name is Regina, and they came from Nigeria.

523
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 1: Obviously he was born in the United States. But I always,

524
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 1: you know, because my parents are born in India. I

525
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 1: always find that angle a little bit interesting too, because

526
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: something in common. And I think just think the Houston

527
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 1: connection is going to be really great for fans because

528
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: very much so, anytime we draft a guy that's either

529
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: from Houston or went to school in Texas. Fans really clamoring.

530
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:46,439
Speaker 1: You know Colin Glasbia. Obviously, I think he's probably our

531
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 1: most well known seventh round pick ever, I think ever,

532
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:54,639
Speaker 1: I think so, and beyond that, I think now my

533
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: math could be wrong on this, but I'm pretty sure

534
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 1: that I've got this right. I think he's the first

535
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 1: ever Texas A and M draft pick that we've made.

536
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 1: I could be wrong now. I know Steve McKinney was

537
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 1: one of our initial he was one of our inaugural players,

538
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,880
Speaker 1: but he was not drafted. Okay, So I'm pretty sure

539
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: I've checked the drafts. That could be wrong. And Randy

540
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: Bullock was after Okay, I have to I never considered

541
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 1: kickers to be I just don't so offensive. I know

542
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:27,439
Speaker 1: it is, okay, non kicker, non kicker, good, good call.

543
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: I'm glad you said that about Bullock. I probably miss.

544
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 1: We've had. We've had some aggies. We had easy Watchiku

545
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: a few years ago. Did we had Travis lab Heart,

546
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: We had those two. Most of the aggies are the

547
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 1: ones that we get after the call as the college

548
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,120
Speaker 1: call free agents or we you know, we signed Steve

549
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 1: McKinney in the I don't think it was expansion draft,

550
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 1: but I think as they were building a team for

551
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 1: two thousand and two, they got Steve McKinney. Um. But

552
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 1: I got this text on draft Day from a buddy

553
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 1: of mine. His name is Aaron Hogan. He works in

554
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: Austin Radio one for five in the Horn in Austin.

555
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: He says Charles talking about Charles Amna, who Charles was

556
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: an intern for US last summer at the Horn. Out

557
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: Standing young man, great best football to come, great pick.

558
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 1: And he said he worked with our PM drive show, Kevin,

559
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: Chad and Trey. I go on with those guys. Draft Yeah,

560
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 1: really hard work, humble. He said he was two hundred

561
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: and thirty pounds when he got to ut so it

562
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: was just a pup. But you could see the frame

563
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 1: has super long arms and really strong. I told that's

564
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: something else I have in common with Charles Amna, who

565
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 1: I interred at a radio station. Exactly you both radio interns.

566
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: I told Charles, listen, you play you can't, my friend.

567
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:36,679
Speaker 1: We don't need you over we need you playing football.

568
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 1: We don't need you steal In John a great guest though.

569
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 1: Once you know once the rookie one five year two

570
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 1: I'll say year two, he'll be great for us. Yeah,

571
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 1: no doubt. Okay. I had I started this with with

572
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 1: Mark Danny Mirror and I said, you know what, I

573
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: think you and I can do this segment. And it's

574
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: called gut reaction. Okay, with you, I can go a

575
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,400
Speaker 1: lot of different directions with this, a lot of different directions, okay.

576
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 1: And gut reaction is very very easy. I'm going to

577
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: read you a statement or read you a paragraph or

578
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 1: just I'm gonna make a comment, and you have to

579
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 1: tell me what your instant gut reaction is, like oh

580
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:15,120
Speaker 1: that's terrible, or oh I like that, or oh that's

581
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 1: so unfair, like whatever you've got reaction, and then you

582
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:22,199
Speaker 1: can expand on it as as you go forth. All right,

583
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 1: let's start, all right, give me number one to seven.

584
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,360
Speaker 1: I got seven of them, so we'll say many week.

585
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,880
Speaker 1: Give me number one to seven. Just pick a number, Okay,

586
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:34,160
Speaker 1: I'll pick four, number four. Okay. So this was tweeted

587
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: by Adam Schefter today. Now you know Windy Knicks, right, yes, okay,

588
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 1: so winning Knicks. If you don't know Winny Knicks, she

589
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: works at ESPN. She does NFL Studio show. It's during

590
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: the week, and I can't remember what it's called the

591
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: NFL Countdown. Maybe I can't remember. Okay, but if you

592
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: watch the ESPN, you know who Windy Knicks is because

593
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 1: she covers the NFL. So Hunter Renfro is also a

594
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: name that is very familiar to a lot of people

595
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: because he was Deshaun Watson receiver. He made the game

596
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: winning catch in the Championship change Sean's last row Clamps

597
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: who want to hearn Renfro? He was distracted by the

598
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: Raiders So tweet from Adam Schefter today weird note about

599
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: the NFL. Wendy Knicks was once Hunter Renfros babysitter, and

600
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 1: he put she even changed his diapers. Okay, that's a

601
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: little team. Wendy Knicks was once Hunters babysitter. Your gut reactions.

602
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 1: My gut reaction is I would be embarrassed if it

603
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: were me, because I'd be like, well, you just outed

604
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,479
Speaker 1: how old I am. Just totally outed how old I am.

605
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: So I feel bad for Wendy Knicks. Although maybe she

606
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: takes it with pride. They both high school. It is

607
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 1: probably embarrassing for him too to know that. Like an ESPN, yeah,

608
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: you know, major ESPN host changed his Yeah, exactly. I

609
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: had a friend of mine when I was an accounting

610
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 1: who was used to babysit for some guy named Justin

611
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 1: to a Timberlake or something like that. She used to

612
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 1: be his b baby sitter, and she used to tell

613
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: me that all like the yeah, the Timberlake, Yeah, the

614
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 1: Justin Timberlake she was. And so I saw that story,

615
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, that's really You had the same reaction.

616
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: I think I had the same reaction. I was like, oh, wow,

617
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: you're out here for being Oh. But they went to

618
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 1: the same high school in Myrtleby, South Carolina, and apparently

619
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: she was three time homecoming queen, which Hunter refer was

620
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: not so so, uh there you go. All right, uh,

621
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 1: let's go. I'll go to this one. T Y Hilton

622
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 1: a few days ago. We all know t Y Hiltons,

623
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 1: we do said after the draft that the Colts offense

624
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: will be quote unquote scary in twenty nineteen. Your gut

625
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: reaction scary? Um, I guess he's referring to the other

626
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 1: wide receiver they picked up, Yeah, Paris Hilton Parson. I

627
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 1: don't know if it's scary or if it's funny, I'll

628
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: find out. You know. When I saw that comment, I

629
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: was kind of like, it's putting a lot of pressure

630
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: on rookies, and he's a little early for that. He is.

631
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 1: I think he's also just second year in the Frank

632
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 1: Wright system and all that kind of stuff. But when

633
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 1: you start thinking about what they have coming back offensively,

634
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 1: offensive line is still together. Yes, of course they have Luck. Well,

635
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: that's the thing they've got. They've got Andrew Luck. I

636
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 1: don't think it's going to be just explosive because of

637
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: the rookies. I think I think the fact that Luck

638
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 1: is back, he's one hundred percent healthy. This is the

639
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: first off season in how long that we know that

640
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna play. Yeah, so I think that a lot.

641
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 1: I think even before the draft it was explosive. But okay,

642
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 1: I mean glad he's happy with their draft. They only

643
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:38,479
Speaker 1: had a hundred of them, so I know they had

644
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: it was by the way, did you see the Colts

645
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: making a pick or what what they call? I came,

646
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: oh no, it's like twenty minutes long. I haven't booked.

647
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 1: It'll go fast because it's very interesting. I've seen some

648
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 1: clips of Chris Ballard. He seems like I've met him

649
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: here before. He seems just like I don't Yeah, I

650
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 1: don't want to spoil anything. Funniest one of the funniest

651
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: moments is when they are on the clock and he

652
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 1: gets the phone call that So that's the part that

653
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: I saw because tweeted that, Yeah, John Dorsey calls him

654
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 1: and they've known each other for a long time. Dorsey

655
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: was the GM in Kansas City when Chris was working

656
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 1: for him there. He was sort of Dorsey's righthand man

657
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 1: in Kansas City, and then Ballard got the job and

658
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: then Dorsey got let go in Kansas City ended up

659
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: back in Cleveland. But I guess that's kind of a

660
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 1: so he just likes to print call up during the

661
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 1: draft to answer the phone. Then yeah, he just hangs out, Uh, okay,

662
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 1: let's go Okay, let's go to the next one. So

663
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 1: we are fortunate this uh this season because we are

664
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: going to London. Yes, looking forward to that. I don't

665
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: know if you've traveled much outside the United States. I

666
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 1: have not. I've been to Spain and Mexico and that's

667
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 1: really it. So I'm really excited about going to London. Okay.

668
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: University of Mission and is taking it to a whole

669
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: new level. Oh John harpele uh, Jim Harball, Sorry, Jim

670
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 1: Harball likes to do that, right, Yeah, he does. You

671
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 1: know where they are going? In fact, they are there

672
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: right now. The University of Michigan football team is in

673
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: Cape Town, South Oh. This is my next vacation. I

674
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 1: really want to go to got reaction to Michigan being

675
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 1: in Cape Town. I want to go to Michigan because

676
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 1: these are all the leaders I want to visit. I

677
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 1: was I was just talking about this to somebody I

678
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 1: met from South Africa the other day, and they said,

679
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 1: Cape Town is really amazing, really supposed it's supposed to be.

680
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:32,479
Speaker 1: I mean, one of the wonders of the world. Are

681
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 1: you jealous? I'm super jealous, But I'm thinking as a

682
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 1: football player, that's a really long flight. Yeah. And then

683
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 1: and then do they get to do they get to

684
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 1: do sight sing? Because if they're just there to play football,

685
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 1: it'd be kind of mad. Well, when they went to Rome,

686
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: they did a whole video of them going to Rome.

687
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 1: So they would go practice in the day and then

688
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 1: they would do some sight sing and then like they

689
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 1: would practice in the morning and then get all cleaned

690
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 1: up and then they would go do sight sing. They

691
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 1: went and saw the Pope. Jim Harbab brought the or

692
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 1: brought the pope. Some like Michigan jump Man because they're

693
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 1: jumping in school. Oh so jumpman sneakers, So like, what's

694
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: he gonna do in Cape Town? So they've gone, They've

695
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:10,919
Speaker 1: gone to Paris. Yeah, Paris was the last was last year, right, Yeah,

696
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 1: Paris was last year. The first time they did they

697
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 1: went to Rome, so that's what they did spring practice

698
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 1: and then they went to Paris. I don't know if

699
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 1: they did spring practice or just visit. And now they

700
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 1: took the entire football team to I think it's a

701
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 1: great bonding experience for these college kids. And I'm sure

702
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,280
Speaker 1: a lot of them have never left the country wherever,

703
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,800
Speaker 1: gone anywhere, So I think it's a great experience. Especially

704
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 1: they're if they're footing the bill for all these kids

705
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: to go somewhere for a cool destination and they're getting

706
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 1: some work done, I mean why not. First of all,

707
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: I just don't even know how other coaches can compete

708
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: with and what do you do? I mean, how do

709
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,240
Speaker 1: you compete with going? I mean unless you've got unless

710
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:48,399
Speaker 1: you're in Alabama. I mean, but even then I would

711
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: say like, well, I get a free trip, you know,

712
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: And it sounds like Jim Harnaball just really kind of

713
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 1: knows how to plug into these college kids, seemingly. But

714
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: when I think about being a college I mean, we

715
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 1: played at william and Erry one year and they had

716
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 1: they had you could go visit oldtown Williamsburg, historic Williamsburg,

717
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 1: and I was gonna go. And then I was like,

718
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 1: you know, and I hate to even say this, but

719
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 1: Terry Springer was on. It was a pretty explosive episode.

720
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 1: And I didn't have cable at the time in my dorm,

721
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 1: so I was like, I'm just got one step because

722
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:24,240
Speaker 1: I was like, I could always go to Williamsburg. College decision.

723
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 1: It was a college decision. I have those opportunities is

724
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: really cool. Bill O'Brien had said that when he was

725
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 1: at Penn State, he had signed up the team to

726
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 1: play a game and I want to say Ireland, Dublin, right, Ireland,

727
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: And then of course he came here before the team

728
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 1: got to go, so they got to go after the fact,

729
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 1: and I remember him talking about how he thought, you know,

730
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 1: it just as a reward to them, those kids that

731
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:45,879
Speaker 1: you know, they didn't decide to leave Penn State after

732
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 1: all the saying shows, the sanctions, they stuck around and

733
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 1: he thought that'd be a nice way to show them

734
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 1: a thank you. So I think, you know, the coaches

735
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 1: appreciate with what these kids go through. I think the

736
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:59,399
Speaker 1: very first game that they played under new coach James

737
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 1: Franklin was in Ireland. It was, and it was pretty

738
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 1: early on. Here was the other thing too, he had

739
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 1: signed up he had uh contracted that game with UCF

740
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien against George O'Leary in Dublin, Ireland. I mean

741
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 1: it was straight out of Central Cast of course, of

742
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 1: course casting. Okay, uh, okay, let's go to this one.

743
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:28,279
Speaker 1: Adam Sandler is famous for a lot of different things,

744
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 1: and he was Saturday Saturday Night Live host and he

745
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 1: did a tribute to Chris Farland. I saw, and I

746
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 1: did you cry? Cry? I did everything I could not

747
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 1: to what was your gut reaction? So I didn't. I

748
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 1: was watching the Today Show this morning and they were

749
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 1: showing a clip of it. But I thought, oh, I

750
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 1: can see how that might be like a little bit

751
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:55,720
Speaker 1: of a tear jerker because they were such good friends.

752
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 1: I remember all those skits because that was like in

753
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 1: the hey day, Yeah, Saturday Night Live. So um, I

754
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 1: just I mean, it's it's amazing that Chris Farley was

755
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 1: so young. Yeah, you know, we get so talented. So

756
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,319
Speaker 1: I would say it's sad. I didn't see the whole thing.

757
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:11,360
Speaker 1: So one of the things that he see be a

758
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 1: better judge than me about how sad it was. It

759
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 1: was funny. It was still Adam Sandler funny. It was.

760
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 1: It was very funny. One of the things that was very,

761
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 1: very interesting was he said something about showing his kids

762
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 1: clips of Farley on YouTube, and I started thinking about

763
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 1: the connection that YouTube allows us to have with with

764
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 1: people like that, Like he could say, oh man, I

765
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 1: wish you could have seen such and such, like when

766
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 1: I was growing up, Like, oh man, I wish you

767
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 1: could have seen such and such, or I wish you

768
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 1: could have seen this. Now you can go to YouTube

769
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: and say, hey, watch this and you know it's still funny,

770
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: or you know whoever you're watching, like you're watching a player.

771
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 1: There was a basketball player that, uh, you know, Lancer Aline,

772
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:54,360
Speaker 1: a good buddy of mine. We were kind of trading

773
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 1: some text back and forth and we were talking about

774
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 1: a basketball player we used to watch and found clips

775
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 1: on YouTube, and we're like swapping clips on you like,

776
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 1: oh man, remember this, and we're watching those clips again.

777
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,879
Speaker 1: YouTube kind of brings that all back, like his kids

778
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: could actually watch that. Well, we were growing up in

779
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 1: our parents. I wish you could have seen him, Like, yeah,

780
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,400
Speaker 1: I wish you could have seen him. We'll use your

781
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 1: imagination kids, Yeah, but then YouTube actually let you do that.

782
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 1: My kids actually they watch a lot of shows that

783
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 1: you know, we'll talk talking about TV shows or something,

784
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 1: and they go to YouTube and they'll watch like Muppet Show,

785
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 1: The Sweetish Chef. Yeah, what were they watching? Oh, Tom

786
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:29,840
Speaker 1: and Jerry. And suddenly we have Boomerang on our cable,

787
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 1: so now the kids are like, oh my gosh, they're

788
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 1: always watching Tom and Jerry. And when it's on, I

789
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: stop what I'm doing and I start watching it, which

790
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 1: I don't do that with any cartoons. But I remember

791
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 1: my cousin Jimmy was visiting from India. Spoke no English,

792
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:44,880
Speaker 1: and we'd come home from school and Jimmy would be

793
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 1: watching Tom and Jerry with us because there's no words.

794
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 1: And it never dawned on me that Tom and Jerry

795
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 1: has no words that it's international. Anybody can understand Tom

796
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 1: and Jerry and find it hilarious. It's very true, I

797
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 1: think about I never thought there were no I mean,

798
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 1: there were the newer episodes where Jerry started talking, but

799
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 1: nobody really can about Jerry and a bowtie. Yeah, it's

800
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 1: like the old ones. Yeah, the old ones are the best.

801
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: Were violent by the way I was watching, and they

802
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:09,879
Speaker 1: are very violent by the way. I mean, Jerry should

803
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 1: have died a million times over to Tom, both of them. Actually. Okay,

804
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,240
Speaker 1: Game of Thrones, I know you watched Game of Thrones.

805
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: I do not, but I found this very interesting having

806
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 1: seen it on Twitter early in the morning, and then

807
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 1: I saw the hubbub afterwards. But apparently in post production,

808
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:31,839
Speaker 1: Game of Thrones left the scene in the show where

809
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 1: there is a Starbucks cup on a table. Your gut

810
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 1: reaction to that totally fake this. There is no way

811
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: that the average fan was watching this show and caught it.

812
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 1: But all these people watching dailies and footage dailies are

813
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:50,399
Speaker 1: the footage that out every day out of the movies

814
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 1: that watching did not catch it. There is just no way.

815
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 1: There's so much attention to detail to a show like that,

816
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 1: every every little detail is captured. There is no way

817
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 1: Starbucks did not confirm or deny that they had anything

818
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:03,360
Speaker 1: to do with it. So I feel like this is

819
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 1: just fantastic marketing on their part where it looks like

820
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:09,240
Speaker 1: I'm mistake. So even somebody like you, Johnny, who doesn't

821
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 1: watch Game of Thrones, We'll go back and watch it

822
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:13,919
Speaker 1: and now what's on your mind? Sucks? Just talking about

823
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 1: it now makes me want to Starbucks. I no brilliant that.

824
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:19,240
Speaker 1: You're so right. I think it's I think it's subliminal.

825
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: What are the subliminal marketing? Except it was a little

826
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 1: too subliminal. So that's the beauty of social media. See,

827
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 1: my gut reaction was, oh, somebody's gonna get fired. Hope,

828
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 1: somebody's gonna get fired. It's it's what are they call

829
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:34,320
Speaker 1: those things that are out of Like when you're watching

830
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:36,799
Speaker 1: a movie. When you're watching a movie and the movie

831
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,280
Speaker 1: is set in the fifties, but then you see somebody

832
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 1: wearing an Apple watch, there's like there's like a name,

833
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:43,439
Speaker 1: there's like a name for it, and I can't remember

834
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:45,319
Speaker 1: what So that's why I thought it was. I was like, well,

835
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:47,800
Speaker 1: they didn't have Starbucks back in the whatever era. This

836
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 1: is supposed to be for gaming. But if but if

837
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 1: in filming? But I think you're right, But what if

838
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 1: in filming it that that did accidentally happen and somebody

839
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 1: watching the dailies and watching, you know, all this footage,

840
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 1: said hey, there's a Starbucks up there. Haha. You should

841
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 1: call up Starbucks and say, hey, for this much money,

842
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:03,720
Speaker 1: we'll leave it in the scene and see if anyone

843
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 1: catches it. Yeah, Like, I don't know, I don't know how.

844
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 1: I don't know how that. I think you're right. I

845
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 1: think you're dead on right. That's the conspiracy theorist. I

846
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 1: think you're dead on right. Okay, last one Game four

847
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:17,400
Speaker 1: tonight and just a short amount of time, probably a

848
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 1: half hour or so. I am actually going to this game.

849
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 1: You're going to game four, I'm going. My fifteen year

850
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 1: old is so mad at me because I'm mad at you.

851
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 1: He was. That's my gut reaction. It's a school night.

852
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 1: I'm like, well's sorry, it's a school night, so I'm

853
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 1: going to take your seat. The other thing is my

854
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:36,360
Speaker 1: I win because I'm the mom. That's just the rules.

855
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 1: It's so unfair. Sorry, when you grow up, you can

856
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 1: use the same line for your kids. My husband, actually

857
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 1: this is I hope he's not listening. How to colonoscopy

858
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 1: scheduled for tomorrow morning. Cancel the colonoscopy because he was like, well,

859
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:51,360
Speaker 1: how can I because you know, the night before colonoscopy,

860
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:54,439
Speaker 1: you're like your system, you have to clean everything out. Yeah.

861
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:56,320
Speaker 1: He's like, no, no, no, no, no, I cannot be

862
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 1: doing that. We got to reschedule that because I'm not

863
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:02,359
Speaker 1: selling these rockets tickets. Good for you, good go ahead,

864
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 1: And I didn't get to your gut bugut reaction is

865
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 1: I'm super excited for it. That's all I needed. My

866
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:08,759
Speaker 1: kids always get to go to the games. We don't

867
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 1: get tickets to every single game. We were in a

868
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:12,800
Speaker 1: pool with like a bunch of other people. So my

869
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 1: kids always go to the games. I haven't been to

870
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 1: one in a while, and you're going to perhaps the

871
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 1: most important one in the year. That's the best gut

872
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 1: reaction there is. Deeply appreciate, Thanks Johnny, and it is

873
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 1: shows in the books. Big thanks to Drew. A deepie

874
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:25,360
Speaker 1: for the game, and we will see you tomorrow. But

875
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:26,720
Speaker 1: it has always go Texans
