Speaker 1: What would I do? I said, We'll go to the

00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 2: time and had a good time this morning. But now

15
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 2: it's time to talk Texans All Access. We're gonna hear

16
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,480
Speaker 2: from Matt Burke, defensive coordinator. He caught up with Drew

17
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 2: Doherty earlier during training camp. Also Robert Woods did as well.

18
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 2: It's a little Drew's dozen with Robert Woods. So that's

19
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,639
Speaker 2: always off the beaten path, you.

20
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,639
Speaker 1: Know, with Drew and his dozen, it's you.

21
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 2: Know, it's crazy questions kind of like if you're on

22
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 2: an airplane and you wanted to have a particular food

23
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 2: on the airplane, which you want Caviare or Fla Mignon.

24
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 2: I mean, that's the kind of questions you get, Andrews doesn't.

25
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 2: So we have Robert Woods and Matt Burn a little

26
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 2: later in the show, but we're gonna kick off the

27
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 2: show with I believe it's somebody.

28
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 1: That we've not had on.

29
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 2: Before, but it's something we probably should add on, should

30
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,199
Speaker 2: have had on, and I was part because he's our boss.

31
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 2: But beyond that, Doug Vlastik is one of the most

32
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 2: interesting people I think have come to the Texans in

33
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 2: a long time. He got here and I believe June

34
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,199
Speaker 2: of twenty two was his first month may or June

35
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty two, and he is the CVP of

36
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 2: Marketing and Communications, so he's.

37
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: Got a lot at his disposal. He's got a lot

38
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 1: going on.

39
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 2: And one of the things that he set out to

40
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 2: do when he got here a long obviously, with the

41
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 2: help of the McNair family and everybody in the organization,

42
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 2: really was changing the thought patterns about the team and

43
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 2: about uniforms and a lot of things.

44
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: That he really has put a charge into.

45
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 2: But as he'll admit here with us, he's got a

46
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 2: lot of help and the fans have meant a lot

47
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 2: to the process. But this was a really intriguing conversation,

48
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 2: and Doug gives up a lot of information about one

49
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 2: question that I know Mark and I get from most

50
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 2: people all the time, when are y'all getting new uniforms? Well,

51
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 2: Doug answers all those questions right here.

52
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 3: All right, joining us now the hun Day Texans Radio studio.

53
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 3: It's Texans Senior vice president of Marketing and Communications, Doug Vasik.

54
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 4: And I think it's your maiden voyage here, my first one.

55
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 4: I finally made it.

56
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 5: I think the question is different, it's why is it

57
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:44,239
Speaker 5: taking so long?

58
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:44,679
Speaker 3: Yeah?

59
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 4: You know, I don't know. Mark had to see me

60
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 4: get some reps out there on the external media a

61
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 4: couple during training camp, and he's like, all right, you're

62
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 4: finally already. You know you made it. You made it

63
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 4: a year. Let's go okay.

64
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 2: I mean, we're always looking for you know, innings eaters,

65
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 2: We're always looking for people that can.

66
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 5: Talk a little bit. So I'm a little surprised it's

67
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 5: taking this long.

68
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 4: I can talk and make it wild. But I can

69
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 4: talk for sure.

70
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 3: Oh no, you definitely can. And for people who don't know,

71
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 3: you've given presentations to the players, to everybody of the organization,

72
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 3: to the partners, the limited partners, the city, the fans,

73
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 3: and the focus groups, all of it.

74
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, we've had them all. Actually, I think first month

75
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 4: on the job last year, I opened up to the

76
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 4: player's room after final cuts and final roster. I may

77
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 4: have picked on some of them for their social media

78
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 4: game you did. That was the broad option to welcome.

79
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 3: I think that got you free cred with the players.

80
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 4: I think it did. It's the first time I may

81
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 4: have worked in some other sports, but it's the first

82
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 4: time I delivered that kind of a joke to a

83
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 4: room where they could all kill me. Within normally can

84
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 4: outrun most of them, and I'm going to be safe

85
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 4: where I'll fight them in that room.

86
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 3: Uh Uh.

87
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 2: Who's the most intimidating group that you've talked to? Because

88
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 2: when Mark's ruling all that off, I'm going, Wow, that's

89
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 2: a p I'd be a little scared in front of

90
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 2: that group.

91
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 5: And maybe that group players.

92
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 4: I gotta tell you, when it comes to players, it's

93
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,119
Speaker 4: the lineman. But they are like we see them on TV,

94
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 4: we see them on the training field, but as soon

95
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 4: as you're next to them, Yeah, my god, but you do, like,

96
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 4: you know, they're big. But when you're like that, I mean,

97
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 4: I'm five to eleven one fifty. Like you see these.

98
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 6: Guys and you're like, who.

99
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 3: It's always funny to me because some of these guys

100
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 3: are twenty three years old, twenty four, and you think

101
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 3: we have interns where it's twenty three and twenty four

102
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 3: and they're not as big, and you look at them

103
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 3: differently that way. Right, These are kids still, but they

104
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 3: have to behave as grown men because it's such an

105
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 3: important business.

106
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 7: Yeah.

107
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 4: But then I look at some of these guys that

108
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 4: are my height and I'm like, man, I just put

109
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 4: on forty more pounds and actually been a decent athlete.

110
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 5: And that close.

111
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 3: That close, that's what you gotta do, uh, Doug. Yeah,

112
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 3: And we talked about some of those presentations. Well, I'm

113
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 3: going to start here because when you talk to the

114
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 3: players and you talk to the legends the former Texans

115
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 3: players about what we're doing here and what the mindset

116
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 3: is with hey really leaning into the city of Houston,

117
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 3: h town made currently we see all of that. What

118
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 3: has their response been like to you and what has

119
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 3: some of that engagement been like between you and those groups.

120
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 4: It's it's been amazing, to be honest, we have run

121
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 4: just man a thorough process over the past year, between

122
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 4: surveys and focus groups and just regular meetings. You're talking

123
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 4: about ten thousand people, hundreds of people through focus groups,

124
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 4: and when it comes to fans and players, there's a

125
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 4: lot of diverse thought in those groups. Right. The way

126
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 4: a sixteen year old casual fan may think is very

127
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 4: different than how a day one stm may think. Right.

128
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 4: A rookie player may think differently than someone who already

129
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 4: wore the jersey and went to battle for ten fifteen years, right,

130
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 4: very different. So I was pleasantly surprised throughout all these

131
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 4: meetings that overall they just want change, they just want evolution.

132
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 4: So when you go into these meetings and you tell

133
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 4: them that we are receptive to what you have to say,

134
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 4: we're actually going to take what you say and help

135
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 4: drive the change through that feedback versus just you know,

136
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 4: smoking mirrors, kind of fake listening. When we actually show

137
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 4: them that we're listening. It's been a big thing. So

138
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 4: one was just hey, we want change, it's time to evolve,

139
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 4: it's time to get with the times. Two is, you know,

140
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 4: they like the joke back with us. Actually, So when

141
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 4: we talk about go back last year, we're like, we're

142
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 4: gonna we're gonna lean more into he town. We're gonna

143
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 4: lean more into culture, We're gonna lean more into music.

144
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 4: We're gonna lean more too the arts. It's kind of like,

145
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 4: y'allate to the party. It's about time y'all got here, right.

146
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 4: So for us, it's been really validating for all those

147
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 4: diverse groups to kind of say the same thing, like

148
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 4: rep the city better, rep the people better, and change.

149
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 4: So hopefully you knows we've been doing that.

150
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

151
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 2: So one of the things that got instituted was and

152
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 2: you talked about the fans.

153
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 5: It made me think about the fan council.

154
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 2: Why was it important to do something like that Because

155
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 2: you talked about the focus groups with fans. You kind

156
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 2: of doing some of that already, but why the fan

157
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 2: council in particular.

158
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 4: That the fan counsel just really gives a platform where

159
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 4: you can get way deeper on topics. Right, you do

160
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 4: a survey, you're getting twenty thirty questions. You do a

161
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 4: focus group over two hours, you got a very narrow

162
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 4: list of questions because there's a lot of conversation. But

163
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 4: if you meet with your fan counsel on a regular basis,

164
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 4: you can go super deep. So use this. Here's campaign

165
00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 4: chtown made. We ran them through even before production. Here's

166
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 4: we're thinking, here's the idea, here's the concept, here's how

167
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 4: some of that could look. And they gave us real

168
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 4: time feedback. And I'll be honest, the campaign wasn't originally

169
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 4: called h town Mate. That came from the fans well

170
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 4: gave us and they gave us a live edit in

171
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 4: the room and we're like, that makes a whole lot

172
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 4: of sense. And that again the diversity of fans. We

173
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 4: had sixteen year olds, fifty five sixty year olds, day

174
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 4: one fans, fans that are new to us, and for

175
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 4: them to kind of all unite around some of that feedback.

176
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 4: So that depth of knowledge, that depth of feedback fan

177
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 4: council is critical. I'll be even things that you don't

178
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 4: normally think about to go that far in depth. We

179
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 4: had an hour long conversation last month about parking. Parking

180
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 4: has got a lot better over the past year. We

181
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 4: have a new game plan, We've done a lot of

182
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 4: traffic studies with the team. However, just hear from a

183
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 4: fan perspective for a whole hour. We thought that'd be

184
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 4: a five minute conversation, right, No, so for them, like

185
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 4: we educated them on everything we've been doing, and then

186
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 4: they offer a few suggestions in between that they live

187
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 4: that life every Sunday, right.

188
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 3: And then you get construction thrown in and it all

189
00:07:58,480 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 3: boils everything.

190
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 4: I wish we control that, right exactly?

191
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 3: Can you hold off on some of that stuff? Doug

192
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 3: Boptik joining US Texans, Senior vice president Marketing and Communications.

193
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 3: All Right, uniforms, This may have come up a few

194
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 3: to you to have to ask where are we at?

195
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 3: Where are we going? And there's a lot of attached

196
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 3: to that. So what can you share with us high

197
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 3: level right now?

198
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 4: I mean I'll answer any question you have, okay, Right,

199
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 4: So high level, we're finally at a point where designs

200
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 4: are done, which means it's a drawing on a piece

201
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 4: of paper.

202
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 6: Right.

203
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,079
Speaker 4: So right now, between probably two months ago and November,

204
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 4: Nike's working on actually making the one of one prototypes,

205
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 4: and we've shared in the public. Callis stated publicly that

206
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 4: we'll have four new uniforms, so across the board, all

207
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 4: four will be new. So we literally get four jerseys

208
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 4: sent to us in November, or maybe we'll go out

209
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 4: to Nike and beaver Tenant to see him in person.

210
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 4: And that's the moment where drawling comes to life. So

211
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 4: we are finally at that stage where jerseys are locked,

212
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 4: pants are locked, socks are locked, helmets are locked, which

213
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:00,839
Speaker 4: means we may have a few tricks up our sleeve

214
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 4: for next year, way to honor tradition, but also try

215
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 4: some new stuff along the way. So all that's done

216
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,839
Speaker 4: and we're just waiting for those first prototypes that we

217
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 4: can't wait to get our hands on.

218
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 2: Okay, this is going to be kind of a touchy

219
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 2: feelly kind of question in some sense. But changing uniforms

220
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 2: it's a bigger deal, I think than a lot of

221
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 2: times I think about.

222
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 5: I'm like, I don't care what we wear. I just

223
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 5: want us to play well. I want us to go

224
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 5: win a championship.

225
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 2: But but I know that it means a lot to

226
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 2: a lot of people, including the guys are in that

227
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 2: locker room playing in that new jersey.

228
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 3: Yep.

229
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 2: How nervous are you about what the reaction will be

230
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 2: to the jersey, whether it's nationally, locally, et cetera.

231
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 5: And I know there.

232
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 2: I mean, I haven't seen what they look like, so

233
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 2: I don't know. But and for me, I'm like, whatever,

234
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 2: we could wear yellow, I don't. It doesn't matter how

235
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 2: nervous are you about the response to what those jerseys

236
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 2: look like and how it comes out to the public.

237
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 4: Well, rest sure we're not wearing yellow. Good So we're good.

238
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 4: Good off the We're good there. Just get that one

239
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 4: out there. Here's what I say in that we are

240
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 4: very confident in what we are rolling out next year.

241
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 4: And the confidence comes from the process. When you run

242
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 4: that many people through a process, right, and you actually

243
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 4: listen and that feedback becomes kind of what you tell

244
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 4: Nike to do, you have some level of confidence that

245
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 4: you're delivering on fan need. Right. It's not about what

246
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 4: I think, It's not about what Greg Grisom thinks, it's

247
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 4: not about what Cal mcnahir thinks. It's about what the

248
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 4: people think. Right. So we can honestly say the fan

249
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 4: feedback drove the process, drove the feedback. And then yeah,

250
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,959
Speaker 4: we met with players, maybe they have some own ideas

251
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 4: of their own. And I'll tell you once we actually

252
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 4: unveil the uniforms, there's one that really was driven hard

253
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 4: by player feedback and it's really really cool as a

254
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 4: result of it. So to me, it's like the feedback

255
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 4: we got through the process was diverse right there. Sometimes

256
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 4: you go into research and you're hoping, man, I just

257
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 4: want majority opinion. That way, I could say two thirds

258
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 4: of people want X, right, eighty percent one X, and

259
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 4: that really drives hard where you're going. Fortunately or unfortunately,

260
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 4: in our process, we didn't hear that. We heard I

261
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 4: want this, I want that, I want this, I want that,

262
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 4: And it was all over the map, and there was

263
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 4: no universal consensus, and the key topics that we're discussed

264
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 4: in all those were. If you look at our current uniform,

265
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 4: it's kind of classic, right, simple, understated. So there's a

266
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 4: group of fans that want to continue that tradition. I

267
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 4: want timeless, simple, classic, but modernize it. Okay, there's another

268
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 4: strong group of fans. They're like, no, let's get crazy. Right,

269
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 4: uniforms are way different now than they were twenty years ago.

270
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 4: So is there a way to honor tradition but get

271
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:34,359
Speaker 4: wild with the design, right, And some people like persumptually

272
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 4: assume that means younger fans want to get wild. It's

273
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 4: all different kinds of fans that want to get wild.

274
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 4: So that's one. It's just like are you going simple

275
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 4: clean or you getting a little wild? In design too,

276
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 4: is a lot of fans said to us, Hey, you

277
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 4: know our logo is is a bull. You got horns.

278
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 4: You know, I'd like to see the horns become part

279
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 4: of our identity more than just a logo. So again,

280
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 4: you go and test that, and you talk to ten

281
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 4: thousand fans and have them in focus groups and same thing.

282
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 4: Some fans will be no, thank you, I don't want

283
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 4: to see horns, and they have another strong opinion that's

284
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 4: like horns, horns, horns, horns, horns, Right, So how are

285
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 4: you gonna take care of two very diverse groups there?

286
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 4: And then maybe I know you're gonna ask me at

287
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 4: some point. You know, there's this whole debate on this color, right,

288
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,839
Speaker 4: this h Town blue. You might say, this beautiful light

289
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 4: blue color.

290
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 3: But for those who don't know, why don't you share

291
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 3: with us? Because I know you did the research. The

292
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 3: h Town blue goes back a long way. This is

293
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 3: part of the history of the city.

294
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 4: History of city. And honestly, aside from us doing the research, again,

295
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 4: we heard it from the fans. So a lot of

296
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 4: people don't even realize this that and this is from fans,

297
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 4: that there's one hundred and twenty year legacy in h

298
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 4: Town regarding we'll just call it a light blue color, right,

299
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 4: which we'll fondly call Htown blue now, right, because our

300
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 4: city we own that color at this point.

301
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 3: So in eighteen ninety they didn't call it h Town blue.

302
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 4: Maybe not, maybe not, but I wasn't alive then, you know,

303
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 4: maybe you were.

304
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 3: Now you're good, you're close.

305
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,599
Speaker 4: So if you go all the way back right, you

306
00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 4: got the blue bonnet, you got to stay flower, right,

307
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 4: is a light blue color, and of course you're going

308
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 4: to find that color throughout our community. Right in the

309
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 4: flower two when the street sign started right, which in

310
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 4: a lot of cities they're above ground, and Htown in

311
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 4: those historic neighborhoods, you're looking at tiles on the curb

312
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 4: and on the concrete. What color those tiles the white

313
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,679
Speaker 4: and h Town bluech Town blue? All right? Look at

314
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 4: the city flag? What color is the city flag? Hetown blue,

315
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 4: Agetown blue. Let's use another one. When NASA relocated here, right,

316
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 4: they may have been dark blue when they relocated to

317
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 4: our city. What color did they change their.

318
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 3: Logo to oh htown blue? With the Lyndon Johnson Space Center.

319
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 4: It's town blue. And then perhaps there is a football

320
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 4: team that comes into town at some point and chooses

321
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 4: a light.

322
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 3: Blue color vaguely familiar.

323
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 4: They probably just look back and we're like, look at

324
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 4: all this light blue around us, we should probably use it, right,

325
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 4: but take it outside of football, then you go HBD,

326
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 4: you go fire light blue uniforms, like blue cars, light

327
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 4: blue choppers, and then just walk around Htown now. So

328
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 4: if you want to go look a look at micro

329
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 4: Breus right, look at a lot of local breweries. They

330
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 4: do h Town blue color. Some of them do h

331
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 4: Town blue tile special edition cans. You go to the

332
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 4: clothing brands we'll call like do O, Savage Hearted, seventy

333
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 4: fifth Thy Canal, they always are rocking H Town blue

334
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 4: in their collections every single season. So the color has

335
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 4: completely transcended right football at this point, And if you

336
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 4: really think about it, football was just one part of

337
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 4: that one hundred and twenty year story. So many fans

338
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 4: love the color. You could imagine all the complexities around

339
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 4: legal and intellectual property and all those things that exist,

340
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 4: but we may have found a way to pay a

341
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 4: tribute to the color. Oh, we're just kind of we're

342
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 4: just kind of leaving it at that of like a tribute.

343
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 5: Paying homage like U versus Houstauns.

344
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 4: Well, that's that's all in, right, Yeah, that's all in

345
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 4: for sure. And obviously, honestly, I think the uniforms are

346
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 4: absolutely beautiful. They are on point, and I think social

347
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 4: media and the media will tell you from yesterday right,

348
00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 4: people are loving those. You could imagine in a allegiate space,

349
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 4: maybe they got a little bit more freedom around intellectual property,

350
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 4: maybe a lot you know, maybe you know, because we're

351
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 4: in the NFL and there's another NFL team that has

352
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 4: some ip around that, but we're still able to wait

353
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 4: to find a way to do something. So I know

354
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 4: we're excited based upon the fan feedback, which was it

355
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 4: doesn't have to look like that other team's uniform or

356
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 4: it doesn't have to look like what U of H

357
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 4: just did. What can the Texans figure out a way

358
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 4: to pay tribute? And I think we nail that.

359
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I can't wait to see four uniforms that

360
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 3: is outsiding. When do we see them? When do they

361
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 3: get unveiled to the public Doug.

362
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 4: April of next year. So that's not that far if

363
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 4: you really think about it, it's not that far.

364
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 3: No, it's not because we have the c'son that'll occupyer

365
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 3: time correct and then the combine and then.

366
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 4: And then you're like a week before draft, you're like,

367
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 4: all right, let's let's unveil these things.

368
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: So are you?

369
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 2: Are you like a dad with kids where there's always

370
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 2: one of yours that's the favorite, Like you're my favorite kid,

371
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 2: Like you're my favorite jersey.

372
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're you're good, but you're my favorite kid.

373
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 3: I hope your kids aren't listening to this.

374
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 4: Is that interview where I ask you, guys, are your

375
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 4: favorite kids?

376
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 3: I thought you were going to go expecting father, like,

377
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 3: I gotta get it out.

378
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 4: Wait listen.

379
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 2: Every parent out there listening knows that they might say

380
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 2: that they're not favorite.

381
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 5: They got a favorite anyway? Do you have a favorite

382
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 5: in the four?

383
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 4: I think we all will. I think we all will.

384
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 4: And I say that because, as I was alluding to of,

385
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 4: there was no consensus in the fan feedback. So we

386
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 4: took the approach, which is a little bit different than

387
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 4: maybe current NFL trend. If you look at a lot

388
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 4: of the more recent new uniforms, and I won't take

389
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 4: shots at any other team. They tend to have like

390
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 4: one simple look and then they apply it to three

391
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 4: or four uniforms, so you're just basically looking at the

392
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 4: same uniform on repeat. Here's a white one, here's a

393
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 4: red one, here's a black one. For us over four,

394
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 4: we said, okay, if you want timeless traditional, here's the

395
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 4: one uniform that answers that. If you want to take

396
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 4: one step further and say timeless traditional gets refreshed, we

397
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 4: have one for that. If you said, hey, I'm into

398
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 4: this boll thing, let's get wild, we have one for that.

399
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 4: And if someone said, hey, I want you to pay

400
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 4: homage to h Town lou And if the players are

401
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 4: saying I want something tough, I want something mean, we

402
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,640
Speaker 4: got something for that. So for us, there's gonna be favorites.

403
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 4: I've got two of mine, and I'm sure the fans

404
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 4: are going to find one or two of theirs out

405
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 4: of the floor.

406
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm asking this question for the eighth floor crew

407
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 2: on game days, will you be able to read the

408
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 2: numbers from the eighth floor radio book.

409
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 3: I was not consulted about reading numbers This is important

410
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 3: to broadcasters.

411
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 2: Can you read the numbers from the eighth floor of

412
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 2: binocular We can't worry about somebody and.

413
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 3: A little bit lighter blue at the numbers they got

414
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 3: to pop.

415
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 4: I mean I can read them. You might need to

416
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,120
Speaker 4: get your prescription shot. I mean the.

417
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 2: Most important thing to broadcasters to be able to see

418
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 2: the numbers.

419
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 3: And the fans too.

420
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 4: They want to know what they're like, of course, so

421
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 4: you know, I can't give away too much, but you

422
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,719
Speaker 4: can imagine in a in a brand refresh, you know,

423
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 4: maybe the numbers are refreshed a little bit. Sure, maybe

424
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 4: we looked at some things on fabric to make them

425
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 4: have a little bit more shimmer and shine. So me

426
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 4: maybe they'll get your eye a little bit better from uptime.

427
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 4: There you go like that, that's good.

428
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 3: That's good.

429
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 4: You know, maybe there's some tricks there that'll help our

430
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 4: eyes see it a little bit better.

431
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 3: Very nice. Doug Vosik joining US senior vice president Marketing

432
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 3: and Communications. And for the fans listening, they might think, well, uniform,

433
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 3: you just order another one to design it, order it.

434
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 3: Can't you wear it on Tuesday?

435
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 7: Right?

436
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 3: It takes time and in fact, you sped up the

437
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 3: process quite a bit. You want to share a little

438
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 3: bit about that. You came in here and said, wait

439
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 3: a minute, we have to wait three four years. What

440
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 3: can we do to speed this thing up? And you've

441
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 3: sped it up a lot.

442
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 4: You know, I can't I can't take full credit at all.

443
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 3: Okay at all.

444
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 4: So typically you could imagine a two or three year

445
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 4: process to create new uniforms because the team's going to

446
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 4: figure out what's their brand identity, how do they want

447
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 4: to look, and then you send that as like inspiration

448
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,160
Speaker 4: to the NFL and Nike and then they say, here's

449
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 4: how we interpret your brand on uniforms. We kind of

450
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 4: did it all at once, right. We said, we have

451
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 4: some hypotheses we want to test. Let's bring all the

452
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 4: fans as many as we can get to test them.

453
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 4: So that helped us cut down a lot of time

454
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 4: on the research side. Two, I would say, you know

455
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 4: this is so important to the organization that you know

456
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 4: Cal McNair, Greg Grissom, myself and a few other staff.

457
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 4: We immediately went to the NFL and we said we

458
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 4: want to refresh this is the feedback we're hearing from

459
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 4: our fans. We even took a trip out to New

460
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 4: York to meet with Goodell in person and said here's

461
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 4: what we're thinking, here's what we'd like to do. And

462
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 4: from that moment on, the League said, we want to

463
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 4: support the Houston Texans. We think with everything that's happening

464
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 4: down in h Town, between on and off field, all

465
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 4: this excitement you're building, how can we help. So we

466
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,679
Speaker 4: did have quite some help from the League and from

467
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 4: Nike to say, let's cut some timelines out here, let's

468
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 4: move as fast as we can because let's help the

469
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 4: Houston Texans be their best new selves as soon as possible.

470
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 4: And from us that meant twenty twenty four, we can.

471
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 5: Talk a lot about Jersey. I want to ask you something, Doug.

472
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 2: You're not from Houston, and I like, as Mark said,

473
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 2: you got here as fast as you could. And I

474
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 2: ask you that because I don't know that been around

475
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 2: an individual who's embraced an area or a community more

476
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 2: than I've seen you embrace in the time that you've

477
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 2: been here. Why did you feel that was so important

478
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 2: to not only grasp okay, the Houston Texans, but the

479
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 2: city of Houston, and I think about h Town made

480
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 2: it an interesting story you told about the fact that

481
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 2: you know that came out of the fan council, But

482
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 2: why was that important for you to embrace this community

483
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 2: in this city the way that you have and then

484
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 2: let that filter through everything that you've done.

485
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 4: You know, again, I can't take credit for it, right,

486
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 4: And I will use Mark's infamous line in a different way, right,

487
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 4: I will say, you don't have to be born here

488
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 4: to be from here. Number one. So for me, like

489
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 4: I am a different creative individual, right, I'm into music,

490
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 4: I'm into art, I'm into culture, I'm into all these

491
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 4: different things. And if you think about our city, what

492
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 4: a beautiful place for all those things? Right. So for me,

493
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 4: like it may have taken me a while to get here,

494
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 4: but like I see myself in this city, and then

495
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 4: the way that the fans have embraced outsiders like me

496
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 4: to come in and trust it outside like me to

497
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 4: come in and help shape right and help be the

498
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 4: stewards currently of it, that means a lot. Right. So

499
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 4: for me, it was this is a really cool city, man, right,

500
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,239
Speaker 4: and it happens to match my own personal brand, So

501
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 4: that that's number one. So it just it made me

502
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,679
Speaker 4: feel at home right away. But what drove the process

503
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 4: was the fan feedback. Right first or second month on

504
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 4: the job, We're talking to fans. Forget formal focus groups

505
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 4: and formal surveys. We're talking to fans a training camp,

506
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 4: We're talking to fans at every preseason game. We literally

507
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 4: walked the building. Sometimes we're like, hey, why are you

508
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 4: wearing that like new jersey? Other than it, you know,

509
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 4: says War and Moon. You look like you're eighteen. You

510
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 4: weren't around for that team, right, They're like, Oh, it's

511
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 4: just cool, I love this color. Right, So all that feedback,

512
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 4: fans were saying us, even from those casual conversations, y'all

513
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 4: don't feel h town. Y'all don't feel like part of

514
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 4: the city. They say, we'll give you due credit. You

515
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 4: guys have done a lot financially for the community. To

516
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 4: the tune actually of our event last night receives a premiere.

517
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 4: You know, we're over forty five million dollars now we've

518
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 4: been able to put back into the community. But they said,

519
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 4: it's not just about the gift back. How are you

520
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 4: reflecting us? How are you reflecting our city? How are

521
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 4: inflecting people? How are you reflecting culture? And we didn't

522
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 4: necessarily maybe have all those answers a year and a

523
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 4: half ago, right, So for us it was just listen

524
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 4: to the fans right right. And then once we had

525
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 4: a good sense of what was going on, meeting with

526
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 4: Cal and teen just to say hey, here's what we're

527
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 4: hearing seems like a no brainer. And then it became

528
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 4: about leaning on the fans and leaning from a lot

529
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 4: of people we have here that are from age Town,

530
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 4: born and raised to help shape that future of the

531
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 4: creative and the marketing or whatever it may be. So, yes,

532
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 4: this is a city that I think I love because

533
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 4: it really reflects my own character. But at the end

534
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 4: of the day, the fan feedback from day one made

535
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 4: us go, let's lean in.

536
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 3: And you've leaned in a lot. It's good. H Town

537
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 3: made atoun made all right, Doug, thanks a lot for

539
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,400

540
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:51,679
Speaker 3: forward to.

541
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 1: Coming back, man, Doug's good on a mic Man. That

542
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 1: was fun. And how about that.

543
00:22:55,720 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 2: Four new uniforms four and twenty four baby in twenty

544
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 2: four And I love the story about how the fans

545
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 2: really influenced H Town made I mean I was just

546
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 2: that's awesome. The fans have a say, and they've always

547
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 2: wanted it, and now they got to feel like they

548
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 2: have it with Doug in particularly in the charge, and

549
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 2: of course the tone at the top set by the mcnairs,

550
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 2: by nickd Dimico throughout the organization. It's just great to

551
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 2: see and it's really great the fan, the fan counsel.

552
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 2: I was really kind of curious about it to know

553
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 2: what and why that came about. Glad that it did,

554
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 2: just why did it happen? I thought it was really

555
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 2: really cool that we've done that now. Really really cool

556
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 2: is a guy that, while he spends time in the

557
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 2: Ivy League just like me, he was a few years

558
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 2: behind me. In fact, his visit to Dartmouth, he once

559
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 2: told me, was at my final road game in college.

560
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 2: That's right when Brown was taking on Dartmouth back in

561
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety three. Matt Burke was there watching me play.

562
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 2: He didn't know it at the time and probably still doesn't,

563
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 2: but that being said, he then decided to go to

564
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 2: Dartmouth instead of Brown and had a great long career

565
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 2: and it has been a great coach ever since. He's

566
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 2: now the defensive Cordia for your Texans and he joins

567
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,919
Speaker 2: Drew Dougherty next right here in Texans All Access.

568
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 1: Oh man, it is game month.

569
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:21,640
Speaker 2: How about that September one, nine days away from taking

Speaker 2: on the Baltimore Ravens in Baltimore, and that is gonna

571
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 2: be awesome.

572
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: Cannot wait again nine days to get there. We gotta

573
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: get to the show first.

Speaker 10: me say the honors.

589
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 6: Mind Oh that means a lot.

590
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 9: We chit chat from time to time as you walk

591
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 9: by the desk in the offices. But let's start out

592
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 9: with Burke rankings. The five Burkes. You got you, Brooke Burke,

593
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 9: just raise your eyebrowser Delta Burke, Matt Burke, the longtime

594
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 9: offensive lineman, and burking Stocks.

595
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 6: Where do they rank?

596
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 5: Oh?

597
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 10: My good lord, Okay, watch wrong, I gotta get in

598
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:28,360
Speaker 10: trouble here.

599
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 7: I go Brooke Burke.

600
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 10: Fair enough, fair, no explanation needed. The other Matt Burke

601
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 10: spells his name wrong, so I got I gotta drop

602
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 10: him a little bit.

603
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 6: We take liberties with no.

604
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 7: That's okay.

605
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 10: I played against him in college, so he was a

606
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 10: great player. I'll go I'll go to other Matt Burke.

607
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 10: I'll go burking Stocks. I don't know, man, I feel

608
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 10: like I might get delta on this one. I'll go

609
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 10: fourth for me in.

610
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 7: Delta fifth strong rank. You hope she doesn't come at

611
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 7: me on that one.

612
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 9: So you're you're a humble guy, because a lot of guys,

613
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,640
Speaker 9: you know, it's it'll be like ranked the Michaels and

614
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,919
Speaker 9: a guy who's you know, barely making the roster. Sometimes

615
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 9: in the past over the last eight years when we've

616
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 9: done you know, he's ranked himself first over Michael Jordan

617
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 9: and Michael Jackson.

618
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 10: I probably should have gone three, like right there in

619
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 10: the middle. That would have been just like a safer.

620
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 9: Spot for me that you would have broken ground on that,

621
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,040

Speaker 10: I would have to go with doctor Seuss right now,

633
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,680

Speaker 7: Man, I'm all over the place with it.

644
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 10: I would say, like, I'm not like a lot of toppings,

645
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 10: so like a meat and something I've been kind of on,

646
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 10: like a like a meatball and like to me like

00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 10: fresh tomatoes kick. My wife likes pepperoni and mushrooms, so

648
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,840

00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 6: Do your shoulders sag like mine?

652
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 9: Whenever you see it's like the only option is a marguerite,

653
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 9: a pizza or a cheese pizza.

654
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

655
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 7: I like a little funk. I like a little funk.

656
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 6: Same. It's good to know about you. I like that. Okay,

657
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 6: you got a beard? How long have you had a beard?

658
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 7: Shoot?

659
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 10: Literally, I've had some form of facial hair since high school?

660
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,159
Speaker 10: So really, yeah, I was high school and back in

661
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 10: the day, I thought it was cool, like I could

662
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:50,479
Speaker 10: grow a decent beard, So I used to. I used

663
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 10: to just have a goatee and then for my senior picture,

664
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 10: and my mom didn't like it.

665
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 7: So for my senior pictures.

666
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 10: Which happened like junior spring or that summer before senior year,

667
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 10: for my yearbook pictures, I shaved it off where I

668
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 10: actually took my like casual pics with the beard and then.

669
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 9: Thanks to a tree with your with your letterman jacket

670
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:09,639
Speaker 9: slung over your shoulder stuff.

671
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 10: And then and then my formal yearbook picture actually brought

672
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 10: a razor and shaved it, and so I had cleaned

673
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 10: my high school yearbook pictures clean shaven, and then I

674
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:19,719
Speaker 10: started growing a back after that, and I haven't been

675
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 10: clean shaven since. The full beard has been in probably

676
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:24,439
Speaker 10: since like two thousand and I think ten or so.

677
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 10: I went to Russia on a trip and I just

678
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 10: felt like it was like a very Russian thing to do,

679
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 10: to just like grow a beard in. I kept it

680
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 10: and I liked it. So there it is.

681
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 6: Did you go to Russia in the winter or the summer? Winter?

682
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 7: It was in the summer, so it was pretty warm. Yeah,

683
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 7: it was nice. Yeah, but I don't know why. It

684
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 7: just struck me. It's like, I'm not going to shave

685
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 7: and the beard came in and kind of kept.

686
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 6: It since how much did you know about Russia before you.

687
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 7: Went a decent amount?

688
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 10: You know, I travel a lot, so it was obviously

689
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 10: a slightly different climate than it is now, but it

690
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 10: was I'll never forget the border crossing. I was in

691
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 10: Finland with a buddy and we took a train from

692
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 10: Helsinki to Saint Petersburg and at the border crossing, the whatever,

693
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 10: the Russian army whatever, they bored the train and they

694
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 10: take your passport to I'm assuming to go check out,

695
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 10: but they just take it and you're sitting on the

696
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 10: train and they leave a soldier with a AK forty

697
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 10: seven and a German.

698
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 7: Shepherd on the car for like forty five minutes.

699
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 10: I'm like, they could be burning our passports right now,

700
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 10: and what's going on? And then like an hour later

701
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 10: they come back and they give you back your papers

702
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 10: and they go you go on your way.

703
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 7: So there were some nerving moments, uh, there for sure.

704
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 9: Yeah, I can imagine the surveillance state complete this sentence.

705
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 9: My favorite thing about h Town is you've been here

706
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 9: a few months.

707
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 7: That's true, that's true.

708
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 10: I don't want to sell anything short right now, man,

709
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 10: I just feel like so far.

710
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 7: I just I don't know how.

711
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 10: To word this, Like it's such a big and diverse

712
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 10: city that everything's available, Like it's almost like you can

713
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 10: get whatever you want here obviously food wise and interest wise,

714
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 10: and there's just a lot going on. It seems like,

715
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 10: I'm we haven't obviously had a lot of time to explore,

716
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 10: but that just seems like it's It's just I've been

717
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 10: in obviously like different size cities, and this is my

718
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 10: eighth team I've coached on, so kind of travel around

719
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 10: and you try to find wherever we go, we try

720
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 10: to like take advantage of whatever that city has to offer.

721
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 10: And we're looking like, man, there's everything here, it seems like,

722
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 10: so I feel like like the just availability of everything

723
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 10: is gonna be really cool.

724
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 7: It's not the weather right now, and so I can.

725
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 9: Tell you that as a Houstonian of forty six years,

726
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 9: it's never been this hot.

727
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 6: It's miserable.

728
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 9: Yes, So you're not whining, You're not complaining. I'm wining

729
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 9: right with you.

730
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 6: Okay, You've been a lot of places. Just brought up Russia.

731
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 9: You've been all over Europe, Africa, Asia. What's a country

732
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 9: you got to go to next? It could be one

733
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 9: that you've already visited, but what's the next one for you.

734
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 7: I rarely go double up on countries.

735
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:32,239
Speaker 10: I've only been to two countries twice repeat Iceland and

736
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 10: Costa Rica actually, so I try not to do that.

737
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 10: There's just too much the world to explore. I would

738
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 10: say at the top of my list, it's probably a tie.

739
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 10: I really want to go down to Patagonia to like

740
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 10: Argentina and Chile. Like the problem for me is that

741
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 10: the seasons are off, so when are off times the summer,

742
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 10: it's the winter down there, it's hard to hike and

743
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 10: like of the you know, Antarctica and the winter, so

744
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 10: I haven't really had a chance to do that. So

745
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 10: that would be probably top from a hiking standpoint. I

746
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 10: really want to hike through some of that area. And

747
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 10: then I really want to do you go scuba diving

748
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 10: and the Galapagos can go down there and do a

749
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 10: little more ball we see obviously obviously unique marine life

750
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 10: there and everything going on. So those are those are

751
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 10: two kind of like definitely like bucket trips I'm still

752
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 10: holding on to, but there's plenty, there's plenty of other

753
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 10: places to go.

754
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 9: Those are good ones. I like that the Galapagos. There's

755
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 9: a nice little exhibit at the Houston Zoo. Probably not

756
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 9: the same as the galapaghost, but still pretty good.

757
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 3: I'll check it out.

758
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 7: Let's let's say I told you this everything here.

759
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, let's wrap this up.

760
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 9: Okay, Which of your fellow assistant coaches could be either

761
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 9: side of the ball makes you laugh the hardest?

762
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 10: I gotta this is a strategic I would say, I'm

763
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 10: gonna go Jake Moreland.

764
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 7: Really yeah, so I actually I have a history. Jake

765
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,719
Speaker 7: and I work together. Actually are you're in the Jets.

766
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 10: Jake and I actually shared a cubicle, but the office

767
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 10: space was kind of cramped, and said, and hey, we

768
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 10: literally were cubicle mates for one year and we kind

769
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 10: of got to know each other well. And when you're

770
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 10: in that environment, you gotta gotta keep things light hearted.

771
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 10: And we were going back and forth, and it's.

772
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 7: Pretty much continued here. I don't know if you can tell.

773
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 10: Sometimes that practice where I stand kind of watching the

774
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 10: practice is where the tight ends are, so we're always.

775
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:00,800

776
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:01,880

777
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 10: You know, he's known me for a little bit, so

778
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:04,959
Speaker 10: I would say, Jake Morland, that's my answer.

779
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:06,520

882
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:14,280
Speaker 8: I don't believe in ghosts. I don't believe in the supernatural.

883
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 8: I do believe that sometimes things happen in mysterious ways,

884
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 8: which is unexplained, but I wouldn't say it's ghosts.

885
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 6: Do you know anyone that believes in ghosts?

886
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 8: I have someone who believes in aliens. Good teammate of

887
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 8: mine from the past, Sammy Watkins, believes in the extraterrestrial beings.

888
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,839
Speaker 8: So we always had some interesting conversations about that and

889
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 8: it was always fun. He would go on for a

890
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:39,959
Speaker 8: while with biting some More, some more film.

891
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,879
Speaker 9: You're one of the best USC Trojans of all time.

892
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,359
Speaker 9: Who's your favorite USC Trojan ever?

893
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 7: Yeah?

894
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,359
Speaker 8: I would say that's very easy. Reggie Bush, hands down.

895
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 8: I remember growing up sitting in front of the TV

896
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:55,799
Speaker 8: watching Reggie run Crazy on Saturdays, and it was kind

897
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 8: of things you go, you watch the game and go

898
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 8: outside and try to emulate the moves that he was doing.

899
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:02,399
Speaker 8: I would say part of the reason why I became

900
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 8: a Trojan and so many other kids became Trojans because

901
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 8: of Reggie Bush.

902
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 6: You say, emulate those moves?

903
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 9: Was it that one against Presdent State where he's like

904
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 9: running about nine million miles an hour, stops.

905
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 8: He leans back, and he continues to go. I think

906
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 8: the President State everybody watched that game seeing him run

907
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,880
Speaker 8: crazy from punt return to kick return, running back and

908
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 8: doing some catching out the backfield. I think he made

909
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:24,919
Speaker 8: everybody a fan with that game.

910
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, how me, How awesome was that like? Getting to

911
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 6: play with the guy?

912
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 2: Yeah?

913
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 8: I played with him in Buffalo for one year and

914
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 8: seeing him and being a teammate of his was super cool.

915
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 8: Whenever he touched the ball that practice, everybody lit up.

916
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 8: It's like Reggie Bush and it was just cool to

917
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,240
Speaker 8: just have that experience and share some of the stories

918
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 8: from USC NFL and really became a good friend and

919
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 8: mentor after that season.

920
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:48,240
Speaker 6: That's awesome.

921
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 9: That's really cool to have a guy that you see

922
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 9: and then get to play with him as well.

923
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 6: Okay, what's your cheat meal, Robert Woods?

924
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 8: Oh, my cheat meal pizza pasta, Probably going Italian trying

925
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 8: to carb up, whether it's the night before a game,

926
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 8: try to eat light the day before the game, but

927
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 8: really get some good pasta or like I said, eat

928
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 8: some pizza the night before the game and get all

929
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:09,800
Speaker 8: those carbs.

930
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 6: In perfect pizza has what on it meat.

931
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 8: Lover's pineapple and sausage or pepperoni and sausage, and I

932
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 8: will throw some pineapple on. I know it's frowned upon,

933
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 8: but I'm definitely pineapple on my piece.

934
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 6: What's your go to karaoke?

935
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 8: Keep it local? I would say, is one that everyone

936
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 8: kind of pick up on. A guy I've actually known

937
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 8: and got to meet. Snoop dogg Jin and Juice.

938
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:33,479
Speaker 9: Iron sharpens Iron. We've seen those t shirts a big

939
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 9: deal around here. That's saying, so who is the iron?

940
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,280
Speaker 9: What player sharpens you up the most?

941
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 4: Here?

942
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 6: On the Texans I would.

943
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 8: Have to credit for guys on our defense. I would

944
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 8: say four of our secondary guys. Steve Nelson on the side,

945
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 8: very smart vet, really good feet and a great mind

946
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 8: to be able to go out there and compete with him.

947
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 8: He knows the different looks and the patterns from the

948
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 8: offense very good. And you got Sting on the other side,

949
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 8: very athletic, very smart as well, can't miss any steps

950
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,760
Speaker 8: with him. And then our secondary, I will say they're

951
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 8: really good leaders, both of them back there competing in

952
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 8: the running past game, got Jimmy Warr coming down to

953
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 8: hit as well as Peacher. I think our whole secondary

954
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 8: is a real key for iron sharper irons, especially with

955
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,399
Speaker 8: our receiver room and our quarterbacks.

956
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 9: All right, okay, let's wrap this up. What's the most

957
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 9: surprising thing about h Town for you? Since you've been

958
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 9: here about what five six months now?

959
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 8: I would say I was expecting it, and it still

960
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 8: surprised me.

961
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 6: Is this heat?

962
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 3: Honestly?

963
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 8: I mean, you know you're gonna be hot in Houston

964
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:34,360
Speaker 8: and Texas, but it is like cranking up every single day.

965
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:37,360
Speaker 8: It doesn't let down, and I'm really just just coming

966
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 8: in and having to be properly hydrated every single practice

967
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 8: knowing what you're gonna get is hot. But it's really

968
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 8: great to train in. I feel like not many teams

969
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:47,959
Speaker 8: are practicing these conditions. I think we should be well

970
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 8: ahead and conditioned because of it.

971
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 6: It's another iron sharpening your iron.

972
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 8: I guess the heat contributes to sharpening this iron for sure.

973
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 9: Hey, Robert Woods. We appreciate the time. Thanks so much

974
00:39:58,160 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 9: for doing a Drews does in best of luck.

975
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:01,319
Speaker 8: Thanks for having appreciate it.

976
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:03,799
Speaker 2: Jew's funny because Drew knows when he has these guys

977
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 2: sit down for a little Drews doesn't. He can go sideways.

978
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 2: It can go sideways, So he makes sure to thank them.

979
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 2: He's always very thankful, and I think the guys like it.

980
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:15,879
Speaker 2: They like to hear some questions that are not football. Hey,

981
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:17,399
Speaker 2: how do you link the offense this year?

982
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 1: Hey? What do you like about what you're doing in

983
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 1: training camp?

984
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 2: I mean, look, we have to ask those questions, but

985
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:24,280
Speaker 2: I think they like, Hey man, you like Star Wars

986
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 2: or Harry Potter. They may not like either, but it

987
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:29,319
Speaker 2: gives an opportunity to appine on all of that.

988
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 1: So it's always kind of fun.

989
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 2: Not always kind of fun, it's always very fun when

990
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 2: Drew Doherty steps in with a little Drew's doesn't and
