00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: In the Lab, a Texans podcast that takes a different

2
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:10,039
Speaker 1: look at things to Doherty and John Harris have their

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: lab coats and goggles on, and the Bunsen burner's burning.

4
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: Here's Drew.

5
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 2: Welcome to in the Lab. Drew Doherty here, and hey,

6
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,520

Speaker 2: it's so much fun. Today on the show, it's a

11
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 2: too pronged assault on your Texans senses. We're gonna start

12
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 2: with John Harris, my pal, and then I'm gonna finish

13
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 2: with a Drews dozen with Jonathan Grenard, defensive end from Houston, Texans.

14
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 2: We went off the beaten path and he's a good

15
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 2: one to do this with. I've done it a lot

16
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 2: with him over the years. But JG went off the

17
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 2: beaten path with me and did a Drews dozen. But

18
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 2: without further ado, let's dive right in with my guy,

19
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:57,959
Speaker 2: John Harris.

20
00:00:58,120 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 3: John, how are you doing Okay?

21
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 2: I'm doing fine and okay. It's a good way to

22
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 2: put things bittersweet ending because the Texans got so deep,

23
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 2: but they lost, and nothing is ever promised of next year. However,

24
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 2: despite that future's bright, Man, future is so dog gone bright.

25
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 2: And here's what you and I are gonna do. We're

26
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 2: gonna start off with what if I told you? And

27
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 2: we're gonna get briefly into that, but then we're gonna

28
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 2: talk about that bright future. And I got a zillion

29
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 2: dollar question about c J. Stroud. So let's go back, though,

30
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 2: Let's go back to Saturday, and I'm gonna tell you.

31
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say, hey, John, it's two fifty. I'm gonna

32
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 2: wrap my arm around you. And I said, Dude, I

33
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 2: just got enough plutonium to get in the DeLorean, and

34
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 2: I don't know what the score is, but I got

35
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 2: these facts. And if I told you these facts at

36
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 2: two point fifty, John, what would you say? What if

37
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 2: I told you, dude, We're not gonna turn the ball over.

38
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 3: Yep.

39
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 2: We're also not gonna let CJ. Stroud get sacked. We're

40
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 2: also gonna get a punt return for a score. We're

41
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: gonna give up one hundred and fifty two yards passing,

42
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 2: and unlike the other four times we've been in this

43
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 2: Divisional round playoff game where we were down four points

44
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 2: at the half. Right, dude, we're gonna be tied at

45
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 2: the half with the Baltimore Ravens, one of the historically

46
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 2: great regular season teams of all time, Baltimore Ravens. I'd

47
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 2: have told you those things, John, You'd have thought and

48
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 2: felt pretty good, wouldn't you.

49
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 4: Oh?

50
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 5: Absolutely, I don't think there's any question in that.

51
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 3: I don't think you could come up with any better numbers.

52
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 5: Now, the flip side of that is, you're not gonna

53
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 5: score a touchdown offensively, which you only did that one

54
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 5: other time, and it was against the Baltimore Ravens. You're

55
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 5: gonna give up over one hundred yards or one hundred

56
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 5: yards maybe right at one hundred yards Lamar Jackson rushing.

57
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 2: Well, wait, hold on the lot. You did get an

58
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 2: Arian Foster touchdown in.

59
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 5: Eleven Wait, we got an Arian Foster touched eleven and

60
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:01,959
Speaker 5: eleven eleven.

61
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, yah yah, yeah yeah.

62
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 2: But you're talking about earlier this year.

63
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 3: Now, I'm talking about earlier this year.

64
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 5: This team you did not You did not score There's

65
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 5: two games in which you didn't score a touchdown against

66
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 5: the opponent offensive touchdown.

67
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 3: Hit three field goals against the Ravens.

68
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,519
Speaker 5: The first one you kicked one field goal, missed one

69
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 5: against the Ravens. This time you gave up hundred yards

70
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 5: rushing Lamar Jackson. And that was something that I said

71
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 5: before the game. Drew my initial sideline hit pre game,

72
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 5: I felt like the Ravens and because I know kind

73
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 5: of how I would approach you when things got get

74
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 5: tough and got tough, especially my last year coaching at.

75
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 3: A pretty athletic quarterback, when they.

76
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 2: Got on your guy, just leanayer. I just would let

77
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 2: him carry the football.

78
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 5: Because the one thing about you know, a lot was

79
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 5: made about rest versus rust and all that.

80
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 3: I think for.

81
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 5: Teams that rely on rhythm passing or the passing game

82
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 5: sixty five percent of the time seventy percent of the time,

83
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 5: then yes, the rust can be a factor. But the

84
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 5: Ravens are not that team. The Ravens are a team

85
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 5: that they're so physical. And here's the other thing for

86
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 5: the for the UH in this game, and again this

87
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 5: is not I'm not providing excuses, but this is kind

88
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 5: of what you're up against. The Ravens had a bye

89
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 5: week in Week thirteen, so then they play late. Then

90
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 5: they then they so they get the bye week. Then

91
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 5: they play weeks fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, and seventeen, so they

92
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 5: play four games, right, but then essentially they get another

93
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 5: bye week in eighteen because you gets to rest because

94
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 5: they're resting.

95
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 2: Dude, You've locked up the number one seed.

96
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 5: Right, And then they get a true bye week in

97
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 5: week nineteen, which is a super wild card weekend, and

98
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 5: now they're playing again. So by the end of the year,

99
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 5: now they didn't have everybody back from injury.

100
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 3: They have Marlin Humphrey back.

101
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 5: You know, Marlin got hurt in the December thirty first

102
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 5: game against the against the and Mark Andrews had broken

103
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 5: his foot at some point halfway through the year, so

104
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 5: they were without those two guys, but everybody else was

105
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 5: back healthy and back rested. And if you think about it,

106
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 5: the passing game really didn't hurt you. What was the

107
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 5: number one fifty two you talked about. Yep, that really

108
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 5: didn't hurt you. And if you go back to the

109
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 5: Ravens game in twenty nineteen against the Titans, Lamar put

110
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 5: up some yardage, but the passing game was a little jank.

111
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 5: Even though they put up some yardage, you know. That

112
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 5: was what was rusty. But the Ravens did a better

113
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 5: job in that game of slowing Lamar Jackson the runner down.

114
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 3: We did not do that. We did not do a

115
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 3: good job on that. Lamar didn't break.

116
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah.

117
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 2: And they also that.

118
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 3: Tights playoff game back in twenty nineteen. They want a

119
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 3: lot of people at pointy two and said, hey.

120
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 5: They haven't won a Division round game at home. They

121
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 5: haven't won a playoff game at home with Lamar Jackson. Well,

122
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 5: the Ravens, I'm sorry. The Titans that day did a

123
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 5: really good job on the Mar. The focus was fully

124
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 5: and completely.

125
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 2: On the Mar and they stopped him on fourth down, right.

126
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 3: And we couldn't. We couldn't do that.

127
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 5: And the Titans when they got opportunities, they made the

128
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 5: most of it. They hit a deep ball, they got

129
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 5: downside the five, they threw jump pass with Derrick Henry,

130
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 5: and then they had one other one of their touchdown.

131
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 3: Well, I mean that was it.

132
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 5: They didn't really move the ball a ton, but they

133
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 5: came up with some explosives and got Baltimore's heels. We

134
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 5: could not get those explosives. It was not a clean

135
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 5: operation offensively. That's the one I would throw in there

136
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 5: too as well. Drew is eleven penalties and a lot

137
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 5: of those were on the on the offensive side of the.

138
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 2: Ball, eight of them in the first quarter.

139
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 3: Right in the first quarter alone.

140
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 5: So and you were still in the game, man, I mean,

141
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 5: you could chuck that up to I don't know, inexperience,

142
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 5: just being on the road, all that kind of stuff.

143
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 3: It was tough, it was, It was really tough. So yeah,

144
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 3: there's a lot of things to learn.

145
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 5: I know people pointed to score thirty four to ten,

146
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 5: and look, the Ravens took over when they needed to.

147
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 5: But to me, there was a there was a moment

148
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 5: in that game, moments in that game, Drew where to me,

149
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 5: the game changed.

150
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 3: One one was missing, missing the field goal.

151
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 5: It wasn't a killer, but Dimico put it best, he said,

152
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 5: it zapped your momentum.

153
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 3: The second one.

154
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 2: I think it was. I think that kickoff return to

155
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 2: start the second half.

156
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 3: That was a big one. Monster, that was a big one.

157
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 5: So now exactly so when we've given up a big

158
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 5: kickoff return that's turned into a touchdown for the other squad.

159
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 3: It happened against the Browns too, but.

160
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 5: That drive could have been stopped by one hell of

161
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 5: an interception by Jalen Petrie. He's got the ball in

162
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 5: his hands at the goal line and as he hits

163
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,679
Speaker 5: the ground, it pops out. The very next play, Ravens

164
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 5: run quarterback draw Lamargo's in seventeen ten. Okay, tough one.

165
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 5: Crowd's going nuts, all right. They breathe a side relief.

166
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 5: They're now head seventeen ten. We get a drive going motor,

167
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 5: gets about a sixteen yard run, weaving through everybody.

168
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 3: Great run, best run of the day.

169
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 5: You're down in the thirty nine yard line of the

170
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 5: Ravens thirty nine yard line, and to me, this is

171
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 5: where the game really ended. You went back back, back, penalty,

172
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 5: TfL penalty, whatever it was. So then on the third

173
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 5: down when Lamar has to Lamar does is not on

174
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 5: the side. He's watching CJ dump it off the Dalton show.

175
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 5: If Dalton can get three yards, you have to punt.

176
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 5: It's not okay, well it's third, it's now fourth and two.

177
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 5: You got to make a decision. But you're in field goal.

178
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 5: Rans take the field goal of seventeen thirteen and you

179
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 5: now have to punt. You pint it to them. They

180
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 5: go ninety three yards and the drive is twenty four

181
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 5: to ten and I was ball game. But that was

182
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 5: to me, that was the key sequence those last three

183
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 5: four minutes of the first half, in the first six

184
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 5: seven minutes, as a lot of teams are called the

185
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 5: middle eight.

186
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 3: We did not win the middle eight of that game,

187
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:49,199
Speaker 3: and that was a big key.

188
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 2: We've had lots of fun times around here, you and

189
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:56,839
Speaker 2: I we have where you got here. I think one

190
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 2: of the most fun times was the eleven season into

191
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 2: the first three months of the twelve season. That was

192
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 2: like the high of Texans fandom. I would say, like

193
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 2: unfettered optimism. At first. The eleven part was manly, what

194
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 2: we're doing with this bunch. It's a great defense, and TJ.

195
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 2: Yates is, you know, willing us to victory and getting

196
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 2: getting through and then oh hey, shops coming back Oka,

197
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 2: look at what's gonna happen because you got that defense.

198
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 2: And the defense took a hit when Brian Cushing got

199
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 2: hurt week five to twelve, and it was never the same,

200
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 2: but it was still pretty good. It was you were

201
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 2: doing some things and then kind of December came of

202
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 2: twelve and the roof caved in and you just sort

203
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 2: of would take a step forward and two steps back.

204
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: I didn't know.

205
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 2: I didn't think unless unless you won a super Bowl,

206
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 2: it's gonna be tough to top those times. Yeah, Well

207
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 2: this time those times got top this year. This this

208
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 2: was a more fun season than than those for me,

209
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 2: just personally, because you'd never gone through just the misery

210
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 2: that you'd gone through as a Texans fan, as a

211
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 2: Texans employee that you had over the last three years especially,

212
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 2: but really the last the times before that were they

213
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 2: were fun at times, but they weren't like that, And

214
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 2: so this year was just awesome. It was so rewarding,

215
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 2: and also knowing that you've got a bright future ahead

216
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 2: kind of compounded all that. And it was great seeing

217
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 2: a guy who had been a part of some of

218
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 2: that before eleven and twelve, Demico coming in and doing

219
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 2: things his way, and a lot of that was reminiscent

220
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 2: of those times, but there was also some variations on it.

221
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:45,839
Speaker 2: He's doing it his way, and I think it's the

222
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 2: right way. I think it's the fun way. I think

223
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 2: it's a way that's going to yield even bigger results

224
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 2: in the years to come, and I'm sad it's over

225
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 2: I'm sad the season's over, but I'm not devastated, and

226
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 2: I don't think like, oh, a window just got missed. Now,

227
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 2: maybe maybe a window window was missed. Perhaps we'll never

228
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 2: know for sure, but I don't think it was. I

229
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 2: think we've got hope ahead, and I just wanted to

230
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 2: I don't know where you stand on all this, but

231
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 2: this is the most fun I've ever had in the season.

232
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 2: And this is my sixteenth or fifteenth season. I started No.

233
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,839
Speaker 2: Nine and I've had some fun ones. There's never been

234
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 2: a better one than this, though, in my mind, I think.

235
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 3: For all those reasons you laid out, I.

236
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 2: Don't know, eh, pardon, with the very distinct possibility of

237
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 2: in the years ahead topping this season.

238
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 5: Sure, I think it was important obviously in this last

239
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 5: draft in twenty three to start finding some of your

240
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 5: some of if not your core players that you're gonna

241
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 5: have going forward.

242
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 3: And I think what this season did was.

243
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 5: Provided the pathway to how this team could move forward

244
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 5: with this core with Stroud, with will Anderson, with Derek

245
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 5: Stingley step up with Chayla Petrie play much better in

246
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 5: the last four or five games of the year, those

247
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,439
Speaker 5: guys becoming the.

248
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 3: Core of your team, not the only guys.

249
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 5: But becoming a a tank, Dell being part of that,

250
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 5: you know, Jew Scrugs being you know, a guy up front.

251
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 5: Will see how they kind of move forward with the

252
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 5: with the offensive line. But you always have you have

253
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 5: Tyus and Laramie. Still, you have Shack Mason, so you

254
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 5: got some vets to mix in at certain spots. The

255
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 5: twenty fourteen will not be the twenty three team.

256
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 3: It won't, but what it will have is that same core.

257
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, and they'll have that core for a while hopefully

258
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 5: you know Nico part of that court. I mean just

259
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 5: all the guys that you young players three years or

260
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 5: less that we saw really become the core of this

261
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 5: team going forward. And I think that's that's the thing.

262
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 5: Twenty twenty three had so many incredible moments. It is

263
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 5: by far not even close to my favorite year. I think,

264
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 5: besides the wins and how great they were, besides how

265
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 5: great the games were, the moments, all those kind of things.

266
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 5: I feel like what the mcnairs, Nick Cassario and Nmiko

267
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 5: Ryans provided.

268
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 3: Was a positive way forward.

269
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 5: Yes, with positive thinking people with a positive vibe around

270
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 5: this team. It was not that way for how many

271
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 5: every years, and I feel like we're moving in that direction.

272
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 5: And I feel like even in years past, when we

273
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 5: lost that division game, like, for example, we lost that

274
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 5: divisional game to Kansas City, it was coming to grips

275
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 5: with being ahead twenty four to nothing and blowing that lead.

276
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 2: That haunted me for it's oh, it still haunts me.

277
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 2: But every at least once every ten minutes, from the

278
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 2: time we left that field until hmm, maybe twenty twenty one,

279
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 2: I thought of, okay, well instead of when it was

280
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 2: fourth and one and we took our time getting to

281
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 2: the line instead of kicking the field goal, why didn't we?

282
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 2: I mean I that haunted me. Yeah, every ten minute.

283
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 2: I thought about that, every timent, like what if we

284
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 2: had just done this? It didn't matter, It didn't really

285
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 2: matter ultimately, But I do this differently, and this differently,

286
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 2: and this differently.

287
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 5: Drew and I walked off that field against Kansas City

288
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 5: January of twenty twenty.

289
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 3: Obviously we didn't know COVID. I mean COVID.

290
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 5: The word COVID had probably been out there, but it

291
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 5: was not a part of anybody's vernacular at that particular moment.

292
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 2: It was swirling around in the periphery. We knew about it,

293
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 2: but it wasn't Yeah, but not.

294
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 5: Even thinking about COVID, I remember walking off that field going,

295
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 5: I don't know, man, I don't know this.

296
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 3: This is this is gonna have ramifications. This is going

297
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 3: to have really difficult ramifications. I know we have at

298
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 3: that time.

299
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 5: We had that, you know, Deshaun Watson and Okay, but boy,

300
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 5: this one is I don't know what the core of

301
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 5: this team is. We gave up a lot in the

302
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 5: ler of Me trade. We don't have first round picks.

303
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 5: Where's our where's our defense? What's elite about us? All

304
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 5: that fast forward? Walking off that field against Baltimore actually

305
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 5: was walking off with Bobby Slowik and I don't know

306
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 5: Bobby will be here or not. He's getting a lot

307
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 5: of looks as head coach, and deservedly so. But as

308
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 5: I'm walking off with Bobby, I'm walking off with his

309
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 5: first year offensive Cordteror, and nobody knew what to even

310
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 5: expect from him, and he put together an offense that

311
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 5: was dynamic all year longmable, many different changes of moving parts,

312
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 5: and you got four different centers and three different guards,

313
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 5: And how do you in a rookie quarterback and how

314
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 5: do you put all this together? And he was able

315
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 5: to do it, and just walking off with him, I

316
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 5: just thought, Okay, maybe he's not here, but he left

317
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 5: the foundation of something that this team can build off of.

318
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 3: And yeah, it was tough in the locker room.

319
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 5: It was tough because you know that there might be

320
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 5: players in that locker room that you love that you

321
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 5: may not see in twenty twenty four that might be

322
00:15:59,200 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 5: with somebody else.

323
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 2: And I've gotten oh, you absolutely will. There's no there's

324
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 2: no chance you wont it will happen, I think, because

325
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 2: that is every single season.

326
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 3: And that's the thing.

327
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 5: It gets frustrating after games when I walk out on

328
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 5: a field, you know, maybe we've gotten beat and I

329
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 5: have to you know, you know, there I'm hugging Clowney,

330
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 5: you know, missing him luck go win a ring. You know,

331
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 5: when we're we're playing the Titans and there's Chris Moore,

332
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 5: there's hop and you know, saying about all these guys

333
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 5: and it's just weird.

334
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 3: You know, that's just the way the league goes. So

335
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 3: there's gonna be some guys from this team.

336
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 5: And that's the part that I hate the most, because

337
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 5: this team was together This team had chemistry and camaraderie

338
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 5: that I haven't seen it in a while in that

339
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 5: locker room, if ever, because I wasn't around the eleven

340
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 5: team like you were. But now the challenge is to

341
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 5: continue that, to continue having that positive vibe with new

342
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 5: players coming in, with new coaches coming in.

343
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 3: The twenty twenty four team is different than twenty twenty three.

344
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 5: But if you've built this right, which it feels like

345
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 5: it is, you can build off of twenty twenty three.

346
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 5: You don't have to rental the whole house. You might

347
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 5: just have to go right out of the bathroom in

348
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 5: the bedroom. And we've been in a we've been in

349
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 5: a situation where we didn't even have the land to

350
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 5: build anything the last few years.

351
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 2: Now we get to look up there and say, I

352
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 2: think I'd like some gold leaf crown molding in this.

353
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 5: That right, that's exactly what we're doing. We're gonna take

354
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 5: gold leaf crown molding to the next level.

355
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 2: All right, next week when we do this, we're gonna

356
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 2: start looking at a prospect or two on a weekly basis.

357
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 2: But next week, I'm gonna tease you with this, and

358
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 2: I want you to let this ruminate in your mind.

359
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 2: One year from today, Oh, what will we doing? What

360
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 2: will we be saying about CJ. Stroud? And I'm gonna

361
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 2: take another step further. One week from today or one

362
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 2: year from today, what will we be saying about Will

363
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 2: Anderson Junior? Fitting because as we were shooting this, the

364
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 2: news came out that each of those players won the

365
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 2: pfw A Pro Football Writers of America Rookie of the

366
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 2: Year award on offense and defense, and Stroud won the

367
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 2: Just Playing Rookie of the Year, So he got two

368
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 2: honors from them. Yep, pillars of the organization. As Daniel

369
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 2: Jeremiah said when they were drafted, and he was the

370
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 2: guy who predicted I think, I think there's a chance

371
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 2: Texans are gonna move up and take Will Anderson in

372
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 2: addition to c J. Stroud. He got that right. They

373
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 2: are pillars of this organization. They were selected as team

374
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 2: captains and then they went and balled out on the

375
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 2: field and backed that up. So think about that, John.

376
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 2: We were gonna get into that today, but I've veered

377
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 2: off and I wanted to talk about how much fun

378
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 2: I had this season, because this is my favorite season

379
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 2: so far, and I've had a lot of favor and

380
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 2: it's I think it can be topped. I think we

381
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 2: can have more favorite seasons than this one. It's gonna

382
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,679
Speaker 2: be hard to top it, but I know ways that

383
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 2: it can be top. So with that in mind, let's

384
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 2: move on. Let's talk with my pal and your pal.

385
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 2: Jonathan Grenard had fun. This isn't off the field a

386
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 2: Drew's Dozen that I you know, some of you're familiar with.

387
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 2: He's cool about getting weird, and he's gotten weird with

388
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 2: me over the years, many many times. Here's another example

389
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 2: of that, another installment of that. This is Drew's Dozen

390
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 2: with Jonathan Garnard. Green is the first part of your name.

391
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 2: So we're ranking five things with Green in it. Jonathan Gernard,

392
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 2: the Green Lantern actor Seth Green. Okay, there's a Disney

393
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 2: sports action movie called The Mean Green. It's about soccer

394
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 2: and then green bean casserole. How did those shake out?

395
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 4: All?

396
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 2: Right?

397
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 4: So I'll put myself as one good. I like me

398
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:43,120
Speaker 4: some green bean castrole.

399
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:44,919
Speaker 6: I haven't had him a while, but when I did have,

400
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 6: I used to love actually, so I'll put that number two.

401
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 4: Seth Green.

402
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 6: Actually, if I remember correctly, what movie was the off

403
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 6: of I feel like I know faces more than name.

404
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 2: He's a redheaded guy. He's been in a bunch of

405
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 2: he was in Austin Powers. He was the Sun in

406
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 2: Austin Powers toarage. If you ever watched that show, and

407
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 2: he always got he was like the villain of villains

408
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:04,880
Speaker 2: in Honorage. He got a big fight.

409
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:06,360
Speaker 4: I feel like I know exactly what you're talking about.

410
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, you've seen him. I put him three. I don't

411
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 2: care put number three. That leaves the mean green and

412
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 2: that leaves the green lantern.

413
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 6: I put four because I'm not gonna dispect. Greenland shot

414
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 6: out my stepdad. It was a huge marveling DC fan.

415
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 4: Trust me.

416
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 6: We we went through the whole nine. So rest is so,

417
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 6: but that was the Greenland is definitely gonna four my

418
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 6: number five.

419
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 4: Sorry, it's a movie. That's your rank.

420
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 2: Complete this sentence. I wish I had invented.

421
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 4: Oh I was shot invented.

422
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 6: I was gonna say cell phone, but very very cliche,

423
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 6: because you know there's so many different variants now what

424
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 6: it is cliches.

425
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 2: I mean, we had Airplane last week by Dalton Schultz.

426
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 2: I would have chosen Slurpy or Margarita.

427
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:46,239
Speaker 4: Okay, I wish I would have chosen cars. Vehicles. Get

428
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 4: a car.

429
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 2: You're in a goal line situation. Texans are on offense,

430
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 2: but they got to get one guy from the defense

431
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 2: help them out. You what are you gonna play? What's

432
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:55,360
Speaker 2: what's the situation?

433
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 4: Put me outside X? Okay, jump ball? I want it

434
00:20:58,760 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 4: every time.

435
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 2: I'm gonna win that fade.

436
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 4: I love to fade.

437
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 2: Okay, And with the pinpoint accuracy of.

438
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 4: The quarterbackress, we got seven back there.

439
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 2: Seven.

440
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 4: I don't have to do anything. The ball was just

441
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 4: gonna magically end and.

442
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 2: You got it. Okay, which of these would you choose?

443
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 2: You can breathe underwater but you're death, or you can

444
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 2: fly but you're blind.

445
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 4: I'll be on the water, Okay. Yeah, I mean it's

446
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 4: got to see.

447
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's the closest thing that we're already kind of

448
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 6: somewhat deaf. I mean, if you're gonna hear Will's creaking

449
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 6: up on you. But yeah, other than that, yeah, I'm

450
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 6: definitely going underwater.

451
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 2: Give me a few of the most underrated entertainers of

452
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 2: all time. They could be actors.

453
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 4: They this is a good one. Underrated, somebody you.

454
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 2: Love and they just don't get the credit you think

455
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 2: they should.

456
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:40,840

459
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 2: She's making it already.

460
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,479
Speaker 6: Yeah, but she's still kind of like making a way

461
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 6: up through that. So shouts out, we grew up. That's

462

00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 6: say they already get a little bit of love. Drewski

465
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 6: gets his pause, but I think you know him, he's

466
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 6: still not that top dog like he how he uh

467
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 6: is eventually going to be.

468
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,120

502
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:25,640

Speaker 2: who've been around.

504
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,560

532
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 6: all soggy. But give me enough sauce, more crispyer than

533
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 6: more sauce on Miami for sure.

534
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 2: Same here.

535
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 4: All right.

536
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 2: It's the first thing you do when your eyes open

537
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 2: in the morning.

538
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 4: First thing I do wake up, tay my deep breath.

539
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 4: Thank God.

540
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 6: I look over my baby girl and see if she's

541
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 6: breathing good, and seeing my fiance seeing she all deep sleeps,

542
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 6: and I'm like, okay, I can go to work now,

543
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 6: you know. Once I see that. Another day and the

544
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 6: bed chilling and getting the extrasease, all right, it's time

545
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 6: for d to go to work. So that's the most rewarding, fulfilling.

546
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're a new father. How is the sleep going

547
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 2: these days?

548
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,719
Speaker 6: It's good so far, mainly because me and my fiance

549
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 6: have a pretty good arrangement right now when she knows

550
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 6: this is obviously during the season, so I can't wake

551
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,199
Speaker 6: up as much as the middle of night. But you know,

552
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 6: even if I wanted to, I don't think I could.

553
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 6: You know, my sleep, how tired I am when I

554
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 6: come home. I get all the time where I can

555
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:20,439
Speaker 6: with her when I do come home, and then when

556
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 6: it's time to lay it down, daddy's out. But she's

557
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 6: amazing so far, She's not haven't given me any many

558
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 6: real problems. She slept through the night the other night,

559
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 6: which is perfect, but any other time she probably wakes

560
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 6: up once or twice. She probably had maybe one or

561
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 6: two nights, or she just did not want to go

562
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 6: to sleep. But I mean anytime that I can get

563
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,719
Speaker 6: my sleep and I wake up and see her completely

564
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:39,120
Speaker 6: noted out, I think the night went good.

565
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 4: So we're good.

566
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 2: So when you lay down and close your eyes, how

567
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 2: long before you're out?

568
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 4: Oo? I'm out pretty quick. I'm one of those.

569
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,919
Speaker 6: So so I started once I start dozing off, if

570
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:51,199
Speaker 6: we're in the living room, the couch and you know,

571
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 6: start to rub the eyes a little bit.

572
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 4: Once I lay in that bed, it's over with. But

573
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 4: if I say Hey, I'm about to make myself go

574
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:57,360
Speaker 4: to sleep. It's tough for me to go to sleep.

575
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 6: Once I lay my head and I'll probably take like thirty minutes,

576
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 6: I get on my phone and then I'll doze off.

577
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 6: Well yeah if I but if I'm like just tired

578
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 6: on the counts and then I go to the room, yeah,

579
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 6: I'm out instantly.
