It's unprecedented to have him on 382 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 2: Texans Radio because Toro really doesn't talk, but the guy 383 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 2: who plays him does and he's got some things to say. 384 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 2: That's next here on Texans Radio. Back to it here 385 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 2: on Texans Radio, and as promised, Toro on the show 386 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 2: for the first time ever. He's milled around the radio 387 00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 2: studio before, whether I was doing shows at Sports Radio 388 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 2: six ten or here in the Hundai Texans Radio studio 389 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 2: at NRG Stadium. But he's never spoken, and he does 390 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 2: now because Andrew Johnson, the man who. 391 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: Plays Toro, does some media stuff. 392 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 2: I've noticed this, so I said, let's get him on 393 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 2: Texans Radio for the first time ever. And here's the 394 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 2: conversation with us now in studio. Is the Texans mascot 395 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 2: the greatest mascot in the NFL? 396 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: That would be Toro? 397 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 2: But wait a minute, Toro does not speak, so this 398 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 2: is unprecedented in the history of Texans Radio. Johnny Toro's 399 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 2: alter ego. It's I don't know if you'd call him that. 400 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 2: His name is Andrew Johnson, and he portrays Toro. He's 401 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 2: done it for a number of years. He's one of 402 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 2: two people in the history of the franchise that have 403 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 2: played Toro, and the other one, Jonathan Frost, I know, 404 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 2: would be pissed about this interview because he's always wanted 405 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 2: to do this and when he was Toro, there was 406 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 2: no unmasking Toro. But with Andrew, we've taken it to 407 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 2: another left here Andrew Johnson, welcome, Hey, thank you so 408 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 2: much for having me. 409 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: It's an honor to be here. 410 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 2: All right, So when did you start?

That 426 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 6: was one of my first days on the job, was 427 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 6: running around and grabbing food in the cafeteria and there's 428 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 6: a ton of different people in there, from cameramen to 429 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 6: producers and them all being out there at training camp. 430 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 6: I didn't know anything different because that was my first season. 431 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 6: But it was a pretty crazy time to be in 432 00:16:57,960 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 6: the building. 433 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 2: What a time to start, right Andrew Johnson plays Toro, 434 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 2: So tell us, I know Jonathan used to be a 435 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 2: gymnast and all this, and he was the first Toro 436 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,400 Speaker 2: and then you took over. And what was your background 437 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:11,400 Speaker 2: before you got this gig? 438 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 6: Andrew, Yeah, I definitely wasn't a gymnast, but I wish 439 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,959 Speaker 6: I had that skill set, But no, My journey kind 440 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,159 Speaker 6: of started at a very young age. When I was 441 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 6: in the fifth grade, the mascot for the Kansas City 442 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 6: Chiefs came to my elementary school. I grew up in 443 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,639 Speaker 6: the Kansas City area. And he has a very unique 444 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 6: school program. It's very different from what we do inside 445 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 6: the elementary schools. He runs in with his costume on. 446 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 6: I don't know if you've ever seen the Chiefs mascot, 447 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 6: the wolf Casey Wolf, Casey Wolf, that's right. Everyone calls 448 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 6: him Chuck e Cheese because it kind of looks like 449 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 6: a mouse, kind of looks like he does, look like 450 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 6: I'd got these big googly eyes and these big hips. 451 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 1: Kind of appropriate. He's a wolf. He's a wolf, that's right. 452 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,159 Speaker 6: So he runs in with his costume on and then 453 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,440 Speaker 6: breaks the number one mascot rule. He takes his mascot 454 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,199 Speaker 6: costume off in front of all the kids. So I'm 455 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 6: in fifth grade and I meet the man underneath the mask. 456 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 6: His name is Dan Mears, and so he talks about 457 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,360 Speaker 6: his really cool job with the Chiefs, all the cool 458 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,400 Speaker 6: things he does in the community, the people he's met, 459 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 6: and ties it into some kind of educational message. And 460 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 6: I don't remember what educational message he brought that day. 461 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 6: I just remember he had the coolest job in the 462 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:07,919 Speaker 6: world and that was something that I wanted to do 463 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:09,920 Speaker 6: at some point in my life. And at the very 464 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 6: end of his presentation, he lets one of the kids 465 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 6: try on his costume, and I was the kid that 466 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 6: was randomly selected to try that costume on. So that's 467 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 6: an inspiration hit. 468 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,639 Speaker 5: Oh wow, you have a pretty good network with the mascots, 469 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 5: not only in the NFL but throughout the city, different universities, 470 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,359 Speaker 5: different pro teams. What's that been like kind of cultivating 471 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 5: those relationships with the other mascots that you've got. I know, 472 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,160 Speaker 5: Blue has been here a few times, the cult mascot. 473 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 5: He doesn't like me very much. He's done his belly 474 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,879 Speaker 5: at maybe before because he's been mad at me. 475 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 1: But how has that kind of been cultivated over the years, Andrew. 476 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,879 Speaker 6: It's probably very similar to the broadcasting world. It's a 477 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,679 Speaker 6: very small niche community because you think about you know, 478 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 6: in every major market there's probably two, three or four 479 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 6: professional mascots in each city. And so with my experience, 480 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 6: you know, I started at a young age. So I 481 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 6: worked for the Chiefs, that worked for the Royals, worked 482 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:57,439 Speaker 6: for a minor league hockey team. I worked for a 483 00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 6: major league soccer team, all in Kansas City when I 484 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 6: was going through school. And so through those opportunities, you 485 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,919 Speaker 6: just get to know different guys throughout the industry, and 486 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,160 Speaker 6: so I built some really strong connections and really strong 487 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,160 Speaker 6: friendships with other guys that have this crazy occupation. 488 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: It is a crazy occupation. 489 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 2: But tell me, you said, the rule is don't take 490 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:19,120 Speaker 2: your costume off in front of anybody. And there's another rule, 491 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,479 Speaker 2: never stop moving. Right As a mascot, you can never 492 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 2: stop moving.

You know, we've 600 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 6: always you know, Twitter, I think we've always struggled with 601 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 6: because Toro doesn't have a voice and Twitter is always 602 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:51,200 Speaker 6: just about your commentary. But when we launched a TikTok 603 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 6: and Instagram, it's a visual platform. That's what Toro is, 604 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:55,359 Speaker 6: you know. So I think we've really found a lot 605 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 6: of success there and we've had a lot of fun 606 00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,719 Speaker 6: with the different prank videos and scare videos. But we've 607 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 6: always also had a lot of fun of just showing 608 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 6: people behind the scenes. Look at what Texans game day, 609 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 6: What goes into a Texans game day, you know, like repelling. 610 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: Like the stunts. 611 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,160 Speaker 6: I mean, people have no idea how much work goes 612 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 6: into those stunts and how the stunting, the stunt team 613 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 6: comes in a couple of days ahead of the game 614 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 6: to rig up all the ropes. There's a lot of 615 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 6: coordination on the front end that we have to do 616 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,119 Speaker 6: with our operations team. Like this past game, we did 617 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 6: a stunt for the Christmas Day game, and not only 618 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 6: were we working with the skycam, which is something we 619 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 6: normally have to work with because they're up there in 620 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,639 Speaker 6: the airspace as our weeks. We have to coordinate all 621 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,719 Speaker 6: of our rehearsals and performance times. But then Beyonce had 622 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 6: a little stunt as well, and so she had a 623 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 6: bunch of stuff up in the air, and so there 624 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 6: was a lot of coordination that has to happen. 625 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,960 Speaker 1: So the air fun stories that we love to tell 626 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: on social. 627 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 2: I'm sure Tommy Townsend has some opinions on this as well, as. 628 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 5: The same comment comes from the broadcast team every time 629 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 5: that toro repels down, and it's hell no, one of 630 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 5: us We just hell no, how does he do that? 631 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 5: But I love this that you've done, and you gave 632 00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 5: one to both Mark and I and I love this. 633 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 5: And actually before the interview we're getting started, Mark's like, Johnny, 634 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,199 Speaker 5: you're ready, Like, no, I'm reading this.

Yeah, 640 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,120 Speaker 5: this is a bucket list project for me. It's something 641 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 5: I've always wanted to do. And we got the Green 642 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:26,440 Speaker 5: Lawn on just a couple of years ago. It's a 643 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 5: three year process. 644 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 6: I've been working on this book for three full years 645 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 6: to get it up and underway, and so I'm really 646 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:32,879 Speaker 6: really proud of it. And I think part of the 647 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 6: reason why I'm so proud of it is it's really 648 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 6: my story in the confines of a children's book. So 649 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:39,199 Speaker 6: I told you guys, I was inspired to be a 650 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 6: mascot at a really young age, when I was in 651 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,439 Speaker 6: the fifth grade, and whenever I would tell people that 652 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 6: that was my dream, that was what I wanted to do. Obviously, 653 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 6: it's a weird dream that not many kids have, but 654 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:49,719 Speaker 6: kids made fun of me for it, and so being 655 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 6: able to put that story down on paper in this 656 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 6: and children's book has just been a dream come true. 657 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,640 Speaker 6: So I'll give you guys a little synopsis of what 658 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,359 Speaker 6: the book looks like. So when you open up the book, 659 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,719 Speaker 6: Toro wakes up. It's game day. It's face day of 660 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 6: the entire year, and nothing can upset Toro on game day. 661 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 6: So he goes into the kitchen to start making breakfast, 662 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:07,159 Speaker 6: and as we all do when we wake up, we 663 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 6: kind of open up our phone start flipping through social media, 664 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 6: and Toro finds some unkind messages people bullying him for 665 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 6: being a mascot, and so that leads toward to question, 666 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 6: do I really want to be a mascot? Maybe I 667 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 6: want to do something else, And so he goes on 668 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 6: this journey to find something else that he can do 669 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,440 Speaker 6: on Texans game day. So he tries a bunch of 670 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 6: different jobs. He starts out with trying to be an 671 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,399 Speaker 6: equipment manager and realizes that the uniforms are a little stinky, 672 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,440 Speaker 6: so maybe that's not the job for him. Then he 673 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 6: goes to the broadcast booth something you guys know very 674 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 6: very well, and tries to commentate the game and realizes 675 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 6: that Toro doesn't speak, and so he has a hard 676 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 6: time being able to tell. 677 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 1: People over the radio. So that's going on down on 678 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 1: the field. 679 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 6: So then Toro tries to become a football player and 680 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 6: he goes out for a pass, the quarterback throws it 681 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 6: and the football pops on his horn, so that's not 682 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:52,160 Speaker 6: going to work out. Then he tries to be a groundskeeper, 683 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 6: and so he goes out there and they tell him 684 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 6: to cut the grass. He pulls out of Paris scissors 685 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 6: and as he's snipping each blade of grass individually, he 686 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 6: realizes this is going to take forever, so maybe that's 687 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,120 Speaker 6: not the job for him. Tries to be a cheerleader, 688 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 6: and then the cheercoach haands them a pair of boots 689 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:06,679 Speaker 6: and can't give him over his big hooves, and so 690 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 6: at the end of the day, Tour realizes he wasn't 691 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 6: made to be any of those things. He was made 692 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 6: to be the mascot. And so this book is all 693 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,120 Speaker 6: about being yourself and being proud of who you are. 694 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:15,640 Speaker 1: Yeah. 695 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 2: I love the line nothing can upset Toro on game day. 696 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 2: I feel the same way, except you know, certain things 697 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:28,440 Speaker 2: can upset me on my homes. He's very triggering, very triggering. 698 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 2: But it's called how it's called made to be a mascot, 699 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 2: made to be a Mascot by Andrew Johnson, illustrated by 700 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 2: Ava How do you pronounce your last name? 701 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:36,680 Speaker 1: Brick? 702 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 2: Ava Burick?

My 731 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 6: wife and I were out in Los Angeles. We just 732 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 6: took a fun vacation earlier this year. We were out 733 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 6: there in October, and we were looking for things to 734 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 6: do while we were out there, and so I just 735 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 6: looked up different shows that were taping and prices right 736 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 6: was super easy. Go online, you see what dates they're filming. 737 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 6: You can register for tickets and the ticket pops up 738 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 6: right there. So I got the tickets, thinking, if we 739 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 6: don't have anything better to do, maybe we'll go out 740 00:28:58,120 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 6: there and catch a taping of the Prices right, we 741 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 6: should up about three hours early. 742 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 1: They give you a. 743 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 6: Call time, which is like two and a half hours early, 744 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 6: and we wanted to make sure we got in the audience, 745 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 6: and so we made our way through security. Once you 746 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 6: get in, they do a little group interview with everybody. 747 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 6: So you go in with the group of ten and 748 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 6: they tell you when they open the doors. They want 749 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 6: you to come in with as much energy as possible, 750 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 6: just like you're getting called down to the very front 751 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 6: of the room. So you run into the room. They've 752 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 6: got two casting producers in the room. One is going 753 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 6: down the line asking people questions. The other's kind of 754 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 6: sitting in the corner, not saying a word, just taking 755 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 6: notes throughout the whole experience. So she's asking me questions. 756 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 6: She gets to me, she says, Andrew, what do you 757 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 6: do for a living? I'm a mascot, You're a mask? 758 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 6: Can you tell us you're a mascot? For No, I can't. 759 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 6: But it's a football team in Houston. The Texans can 760 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 6: either confirm or deny. Maually had a lot of follow 761 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 6: up questions about that, and then kept asking questions to 762 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 6: the rest of the group. And the ladies that were 763 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 6: behind us in line had been to a bunch of 764 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 6: tapings at the Prices right, and we're like, hey, she 765 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 6: was really interested in you. I think you've got a 766 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 6: chance of getting called out. So you asked if I 767 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 6: had any inclination that I was going to get called down. 768 00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 1: That was really it. The ladies thought that I had 769 00:29:59,480 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 1: a good chance. 770 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 6: They'd been to a bunch of shows, but it was 771 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 6: still a shock and a surprise to get called down 772 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 6: to the front. 773 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 2: All right, so wait what happened? Then you had to 774 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 2: bid on something or guess a price. I mean, what 775 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 2: was yes? 776 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 1: So I got called down. 777 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 6: I think I was like, I wasn't in the initial 778 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 6: group that came down, like the first four. I think 779 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 6: it was maybe the third time they had called an 780 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 6: additional person down, So it was right before they spun 781 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 6: the wheel, like basically midway through the show. 782 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 1: So I didn't get the first prize. 783 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 6: It was some gold jewelry, and I'm not a gold 784 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 6: jewelry expert, so I overbid on on that price. And 785 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 6: then the next time they had an outdoor TV. So 786 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 6: I looked back at the ladies who had been to 787 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:32,480 Speaker 6: a bunch of shows. They said they watched the show 788 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 6: every day. They told me the price to guess for 789 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,479 Speaker 6: this outdoor television. Oh, I guess that price, and they 790 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:39,760 Speaker 6: were right. I'm really glad that I looked at them, 791 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 6: because I would have never known what the price of 792 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 6: an outdoor TV is. I guess out there laughing, more 793 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 6: expensive than indoor. Yeah, there are people chanting that there 794 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 6: are always people there. 795 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 5: There was a guy that was at Price is Right 796 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 5: one time that was telling everybody what the bid because 797 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 5: he knew exactly. 798 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 1: What you ever study. He'd studied vrain Man. Yeah, he 799 00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 1: had studied. 800 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 5: Every item over the years and then went to Prices 801 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 5: Right and ended up he ended up winning, I think. 802 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 1: But people chan out prices all the time. 803 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 6: And I did see while we were waiting to go 804 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 6: into the show, this guy had a piece of paper 805 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 6: that had the retail price of every vehicle out there 806 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,480 Speaker 6: that he was studying before he went in, so crazy experience. 807 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 6: Once I did finally get the correct price on the television, 808 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 6: they call you up to the front and I got 809 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 6: one of the easiest games. It's just called switch. So 810 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 6: they have two prizes. It was a grill and an 811 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 6: outdoor patio set, and they have prices associated with them. 812 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 1: So they say, do you want to. 813 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 6: Keep that price associated with that prize or do you 814 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 6: want to switch the prices. So again I looked to 815 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 6: those two ladies who watched the show every day told 816 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,760 Speaker 6: me to switch those prizes. I did, and then I 817 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,040 Speaker 6: got a new grill and an outdoor patio set, and 818 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 6: you get that first prize too, So I got an 819 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 6: outdoor TV. 820 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 2: That's head my way, beautiful, that's good, cleaned up on 821 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 2: the price, that's right. 822 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 1: Tax bill too, That's the one thing I always wanted 823 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 1: to do. You get a tax bill too. 824 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 6: You do so as a non California resident. In order 825 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 6: to get your prizes released, you have to pay seven 826 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 6: percent of the monetary value of all the prizes that 827 00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 6: you want. So I cut a little check to the prices, right, 828 00:31:58,640 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 6: So hopefully those prizes are heading. 829 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 2: Because that's a state tax, you get federal you get 830 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 2: ten ninety nine as well after the year. 831 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 1: This is news to me, So I have another tax coming. 832 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:08,640 Speaker 1: It's coming, especially a. 833 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,600 Speaker 5: Lot to PCA too. California might get you, but federal too. 834 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,800 Speaker 5: I've always wondered that about the taxes that you have 835 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,240 Speaker 5: to pay on on things like that. But that's really 836 00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 5: cool because my daughter and my wife went to Jeopardy tapings. 837 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 5: Oh wow, and saw a Jeopardy taping and we watch 838 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 5: Jeopardy every night. Like when the four of us were together, 839 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 5: my son is like, we're playing Jeopardy and it gets 840 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,160 Speaker 5: hot and heated, and they love Jeopardy. So the two 841 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 5: of them went to go see the episode of an 842 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,400 Speaker 5: episode of Jeopardy, and so that episode came on and 843 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 5: they were like, oh, there we are, and they said 844 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 5: it was just like you see on TV, except there 845 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 5: were a couple of times where Ken Jennings had to 846 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,440 Speaker 5: like reread a line or something happened where well that 847 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 5: wasn't we're gonna do that again, so they would film it, 848 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,040 Speaker 5: but they did it very infrequently. 849 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:52,440 Speaker 1: Was there anything like that for Drew. 850 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,000 Speaker 5: Carrey where you knew it was a TV show where 851 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 5: it was taping or was it kind of how did 852 00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 5: it kind of feel like in real time as you're 853 00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:57,720 Speaker 5: doing it? 854 00:32:57,800 --> 00:32:58,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, it took almost two hours. 855 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 6: It's an a one hour show, but it took almost 856 00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:02,480 Speaker 6: two hours because they have to reset all those games 857 00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,880 Speaker 6: during the breaks and during the breaks, the most surprising 858 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,240 Speaker 6: thing for me was Drew just walks around the audience 859 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,320 Speaker 6: and people ask him questions and yes, other people questions. 860 00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:12,240 Speaker 6: They do a lot of taping, so the day that 861 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 6: we were there, this was the third taping of the 862 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:15,720 Speaker 6: day and they had done that three days in a row. 863 00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,480 Speaker 6: So after three days of that nine shows in those 864 00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 6: three days, he was still super fresh and was walking 865 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,520 Speaker 6: around asking people questions, and he walked right up to me. 866 00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,200 Speaker 6: It's very surreal scenario. But he walked right up to me, 867 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 6: and you're wearing that price name tags, and he knew 868 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 6: who I was. Andrew, what do you do for a living? 869 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 6: Mast I swept for a living. You do what I 870 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,600 Speaker 6: swept for a living? What does that mean? I'm a 871 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 6: professional mascot? 872 00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 1: No way? 873 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 6: Kind of same situation with the casting producer. You know, 874 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:43,320 Speaker 6: can you tell me who it is? 875 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:43,520 Speaker 5: Not? 876 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:45,720 Speaker 1: It's a football team in Houston? No way, it's way. 877 00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:49,200 Speaker 2: Why can't you say, because otherwise people will know? Yeah, 878 00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,080 Speaker 2: I just I didn't want to spell itio. He figured 879 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 2: it out. 880 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,240 Speaker 6: But right after he found out what I did, he 881 00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:57,920 Speaker 6: had just got done talking to this group of like 882 00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,160 Speaker 6: I think they were aerospets engineers or something there, all 883 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:01,240 Speaker 6: wearing matching T shirts. 884 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 1: So right after you got. 885 00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 6: Ton talking to them, he came over and talked to 886 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,480 Speaker 6: me and he goes, hey, you aerospace engineers, Look who 887 00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:07,800 Speaker 6: I got down here.

One of our favorite new new uniforms absolutely 900 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 2: is red velvet still around. I call it red velvet, 901 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,399 Speaker 2: the battle red Toro. Everyone in the office you either 902 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:43,480 Speaker 2: love red velvet Toro or you hate it. We call 903 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,279 Speaker 2: it battle red Toro obviously, but people either love him 904 00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:49,080 Speaker 2: or hate him. The red fur with the white horns. 905 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:50,400 Speaker 2: I think sometimes people. 906 00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:53,719 Speaker 6: Get a devil vibe yet little scary, so either love 907 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,120 Speaker 6: him or hate him. We didn't bring him back this 908 00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:58,880 Speaker 6: year because the red on that costume doesn't match our 909 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:02,879 Speaker 6: new updated battle color. The uniform with the battle red 910 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:04,960 Speaker 6: costume just didn't quite look right.

And it was the first time that 972 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:51,520 Speaker 5: I honestly gave thought. 973 00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:55,400 Speaker 1: To we could go to the playoffs. Really yeah. 974 00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:57,520 Speaker 5: Oh, I mean I thought about it during the week, 975 00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:01,839 Speaker 5: but I'm like, man tough. The previous three years had 976 00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:06,759 Speaker 5: been so hard, and I just didn't really like okay, 977 00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:11,040 Speaker 5: but now all of a sudden, they connect for that touchdown, 978 00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:14,640 Speaker 5: and I thought, Okay, it's our maybe it can happen. 979 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:16,480 Speaker 1: Maybe this is our night.

We don't usually match up, but 987 00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:35,560 Speaker 5: it just so happened that we arrived at the bus 988 00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:37,680 Speaker 5: at the same time and just hugged like. 989 00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:39,520 Speaker 1: Holy crap, what did we just do? 990 00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:43,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, And so that moment just like oh my god, 991 00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:45,000 Speaker 5: I can't believe this. And then being on the bus 992 00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:47,440 Speaker 5: and get on the plane and it's like we're flying home. 993 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:48,719 Speaker 1: And we're going to the playoffs. 994 00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:52,200 Speaker 5: We were the number thirty one team in the league 995 00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,040 Speaker 5: the year prior and we're going to playoffs. So to me, 996 00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:56,120 Speaker 5: the playoff game is tremendous, don't get me wrong, and 997 00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,720 Speaker 5: it was for everybody to share and here at Houston, 998 00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:02,560 Speaker 5: but that game in that building against that team and 999 00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:04,880 Speaker 5: the way that we did it was just you know, 1000 00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:08,120 Speaker 5: it was incredible. I mean when it finally was over 1001 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:10,839 Speaker 5: and they had done their stand for band play, we 1002 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,200 Speaker 5: recovered the ball and it was over, as like we're. 1003 00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:13,600 Speaker 1: Going to pluffs. 1004 00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:15,960 Speaker 5: It wasn't until the next day that we realized, well, man, 1005 00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:17,000 Speaker 5: we just wanted Division two. 1006 00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,720 Speaker 2: Well that was a moment into itself, I thought, because 1007 00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,319 Speaker 2: being able to watch the Titans and Jags play. 1008 00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:23,520 Speaker 1: And we had destroyed. 1009 00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:25,480 Speaker 2: Now we didn't do it on Christmas this year, but 1010 00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:29,200 Speaker 2: last year, two games you destroyed Derrick Henry, which is 1011 00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,959 Speaker 2: saying a lot considering the history he has and now 1012 00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,440 Speaker 2: the new part of history was as a Baltimore Raven. 1013 00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:37,200 Speaker 2: But those two games last year you crushed him. And 1014 00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:40,200 Speaker 2: then you're watching him play the tight the Jags and 1015 00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,399 Speaker 2: he's still Derick Henry's and he's running over in Jacksonville. 1016 00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:48,440 Speaker 2: And that victory for them was so satisfying because it 1017 00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:50,799 Speaker 2: was a loss for the Jags, and it propelled you 1018 00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:52,280 Speaker 2: into the division title. 1019 00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:54,439 Speaker 1: And I didn't think that was going to happen. There's 1020 00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:54,719 Speaker 1: no way. 1021 00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:56,560 Speaker 2: I thought the Jags were going to lose to the Titans. 1022 00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:58,160 Speaker 2: The next day, I thought, okay, great, you're a wild 1023 00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:01,120 Speaker 2: card team for the first time in history. Instead, you 1024 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,200 Speaker 2: win the division, and I thought that was a moment. 1025 00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:06,440 Speaker 2: As you look at calendar year moments, this is the 1026 00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:11,160 Speaker 2: last night of the year. Now off season, I would 1027 00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:15,120 Speaker 2: say a memory for me would be daneil Hunter signing 1028 00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,239 Speaker 2: and it was I was on my way to the show. 1029 00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:18,880 Speaker 2: We were doing the show at sports Radio six ten 1030 00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,480 Speaker 2: that night. It was free agency, and the day before 1031 00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:23,600 Speaker 2: was like, eh, nothing much happens. 1032 00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:26,879 Speaker 1: Was Barkley already gone, all the running backs were gone, 1033 00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:28,160 Speaker 1: all the running backs were gone. 1034 00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:30,560 Speaker 2: People are panicking, You're not gonna get anybody. 1035 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:31,239 Speaker 1: And then you. 1036 00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:34,760 Speaker 2: Get Daniel Hunter and he's had I mean up until 1037 00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:36,719 Speaker 2: the last game, not that he had a terrible game 1038 00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,440 Speaker 2: or anything, but the team did had. Hunter had a 1039 00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:42,600 Speaker 2: huge game against Baltimore. I think he's a definite defensive 1040 00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:44,480 Speaker 2: Player of the Year candidate. He's still one of the 1041 00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:47,759 Speaker 2: best defensive players of the year. And what an acquisition 1042 00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:49,319 Speaker 2: that turned out to be. And you needed it because 1043 00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:52,239 Speaker 2: you weren't signing JG. You had to get somebody to 1044 00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:56,280 Speaker 2: quote replace him, and you got that in more so mine. 1045 00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:59,319 Speaker 5: I remember that that I'll remember because I was actually 1046 00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:01,320 Speaker 5: in one studio. I was working on a few notes 1047 00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:05,200 Speaker 5: and all of a sudden Byron came in and he said, 1048 00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:07,560 Speaker 5: we just signed a Hunter man. 1049 00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,080 Speaker 1: Stop stop playing around. I know he signed to the Hunter. 1050 00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:11,200 Speaker 5: I look it up, like, oh my god, we did 1051 00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:16,200 Speaker 5: to sign Todani Hunter minus Diggs. Because I was getting 1052 00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:20,200 Speaker 5: some film from or I was getting my surface filled 1053 00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:23,120 Speaker 5: with some college games from our buddy Tommy up in 1054 00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:25,840 Speaker 5: the film department, who was my great friend and we 1055 00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:28,280 Speaker 5: were chatting for a little bit and then I decided 1056 00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:31,040 Speaker 5: to go, well there, they have double doors that go 1057 00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:34,080 Speaker 5: into their big area, and so I was about to 1058 00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:35,880 Speaker 5: go out the double doors and I see this. 1059 00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:38,839 Speaker 1: I see this like blur, go buy me. And I'm 1060 00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:40,000 Speaker 1: like the hell. 1061 00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,680 Speaker 5: I look and it's Nick and he's basically running down 1062 00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,480 Speaker 5: the hallway and I'm like, oh man, I would like 1063 00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:47,319 Speaker 5: to said hello to. 1064 00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:49,120 Speaker 1: Him, and I was like, he's right Owever, then I 1065 00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,319 Speaker 1: came and talked to you.

We looked at each other like we know what 1069 00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:02,480 Speaker 1: that means? What could it be? 1070 00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:05,920 Speaker 5: And we kind of chatted like oh, okay, and I 1071 00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:09,839 Speaker 5: I can't remember. I'm trying to think. I thought it was. 1072 00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:14,359 Speaker 5: I'm trying maybe a Niners receiver. I think I can't 1073 00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,520 Speaker 5: remember what. I uh know who was up for a 1074 00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:18,520 Speaker 5: contract ended up getting a contract either way. 1075 00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:20,520 Speaker 1: I I didn't have my eyes on. 1076 00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:23,800 Speaker 5: Digs, but I was like, I think it's a receiver, Brandon, 1077 00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:26,080 Speaker 5: that's right. I thought it was Brandon Ayuk. I was like, 1078 00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,319 Speaker 5: oh a uk And then I got downstairs and I'm 1079 00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:29,880 Speaker 5: not thinking too much of it. Ten minutes later, I 1080 00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:34,279 Speaker 5: look and Schefter's reporting digs to the Texans and it 1081 00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:35,960 Speaker 5: was like, oh my, I wish I coulda grab Nick 1082 00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,160 Speaker 5: like he's right for digs like that would. 1083 00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:39,279 Speaker 1: Have been kind of cool. But it was just like 1084 00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:42,239 Speaker 1: seeing him run by, like h okay. But you know, 1085 00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:43,839 Speaker 1: Nick moves at a pretty rapid pace. 1086 00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:45,560 Speaker 5: So I didn't think a whole lot of it, right, 1087 00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:48,040 Speaker 5: And then after I came down and I. 1088 00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,480 Speaker 1: Saw the news, I'm like, oh my god. 1089 00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:54,320 Speaker 2: I'll give you another one of the calendar year.

Oh yeah, 1091 00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:00,920 Speaker 2: that that was cool made me so It felt like 1092 00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,600 Speaker 2: winning a playoff game or a super Bowl. It was 1093 00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:07,640 Speaker 2: such It's something unto itself, obviously, but it was such 1094 00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:13,120 Speaker 2: validation of him what he meant as a Texan, and 1095 00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,640 Speaker 2: I felt like he felt for the entire era of 1096 00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:19,520 Speaker 2: Texans football and all those players involved, and it really 1097 00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:22,520 Speaker 2: brought that era back and seeing all the guys in Canton. 1098 00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:26,680 Speaker 2: It was a whole offseason journey.

You look at 1105 00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:40,880 Speaker 1: Andrey Johnson. 1106 00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:42,719 Speaker 2: He's got the credentials, and you got to look at 1107 00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:46,080 Speaker 2: when he played and the whole context of everything. 1108 00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:47,280 Speaker 1: He's a Hall of Famer. 1109 00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,480 Speaker 2: And to make the trip to Canton to do the 1110 00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:52,479 Speaker 2: game that got that raged out in the third quarter, 1111 00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:54,960 Speaker 2: but then to go back on Saturday and all the speeches, 1112 00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:57,480 Speaker 2: I didn't think I was going to be as touched 1113 00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:00,560 Speaker 2: and moved by it as I was, but I was. 1114 00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:01,640 Speaker 2: I thought it was amazing. 1115 00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:03,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, that was That's. 1116 00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:05,120 Speaker 5: Another moment, is being there for it, and he's and 1117 00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,600 Speaker 5: he goes last, So you got to you gotta go 1118 00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:09,200 Speaker 5: through all the speeches.

You know, it's hard to pinpoint one play 1157 00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:53,600 Speaker 2: because it hasn't been that kind of year, right, you know. 1158 00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:57,160 Speaker 2: I think I really got satisfaction out of mix and 1159 00:45:57,239 --> 00:45:58,960 Speaker 2: running out the clock at Indy Week one. 1160 00:45:59,040 --> 00:45:59,759 Speaker 4: Yeah, that was fun. 1161 00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:03,080 Speaker 2: I got tremendous satisfaction out of Fairbaron's field goal to 1162 00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:06,840 Speaker 2: be Buffalo. That was awesome, the throat at Darray to 1163 00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:09,440 Speaker 2: beat the Jacks. So I'm giving you, like my top plays. 1164 00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:12,360 Speaker 2: I got to process it for a while here because 1165 00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,960 Speaker 2: I want to replace it with something in the postseason. 1166 00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,000 Speaker 2: But that'll be twenty twenty five, so we'll be out 1167 00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:19,560 Speaker 2: of the calendar year. But as far as plays of 1168 00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:23,520 Speaker 2: the twenty twenty four season within the calendar year, so 1169 00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:27,000 Speaker 2: everything up until now I would have to say fairbaron 1170 00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:27,640 Speaker 2: beating Buffalo. 1171 00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:29,319 Speaker 1: I mean that was tremendous. That was tremendous. I think 1172 00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:30,080 Speaker 1: that was great. 1173 00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:32,960 Speaker 5: It definitely is in there, but I saved my favorite 1174 00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:35,640 Speaker 5: for the very very end because it happened in a 1175 00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:38,479 Speaker 5: place where we had never won before. 1176 00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:39,880 Speaker 2: Oh I know what this is going to be, and 1177 00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:42,640 Speaker 2: it's gonna be awesome.
