1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:02,639
Speaker 1: To be able to take it to that next level.

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: That's what I'm excited about. Bills quick past and Gerard

Speaker 1: you and I had media day today and a lot

00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: of people have been seeing the social media posts from

00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans, and I posted a couple of things

15
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: on Instagram and by the way, I'm at Texans Voice

16
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: on Instagram. So if you want all my bathing suit picks,

17
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: all my No, I don't have any of those. I

18
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: don't take those. Yeah, it's a shame. I'm sure the

19
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,279
Speaker 1: audience is really disappointed with that. But I do post

20
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 1: stuff about the Texans, and today was media Day where

21
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: the networks come in and Madden came in and you

22
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: showed all the stuffs Madden. Thanks. Yeah, I know, but

23
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: it's very important, as you know for Madden. It's okay.

24
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: You and I had twenty five radio interviews, so that

25
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: was cool. So we um. You know, we've been talking

26
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: a lot today and doing a lot of interviews and

27
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 1: it's just that kind of day. So that's full disclosure. Yeah,

28
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: full disclosure and one of those interviews greats. By the way,

29
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: it's awesome to do. But when you talk to twenty

30
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: five people. Yeah, So here we are on the air

31
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: doing this thing. But I love this thing called Texans

32
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: All Access. Yes, it is a blast. I share the

33
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: same sentiment of having just a wee been of fatigue.

34
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: But that's all right. We're gonna power through because we

35
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: got Christian Kirkchy coming on the show. One thing and

36
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: talking with Christian that we did today, I told him

37
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: thank you. There's one thing I told him thank you

38
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: for and asked him how we'll find that out later

39
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 1: in the show that we call in the business. Yeah,

40
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 1: Christian Kursy, we'll join us a little bit later in

41
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: the show. So I start thinking Mark with our brains

42
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:26,959
Speaker 1: in that sort of capacity. I thought, we've got to

43
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: and we're approaching the desert. We're not quite there, but

44
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: I kind of put all this math together and I

45
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: went I got it. So my my Daily Brew on

46
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: Friday took in one of the I see a lot

47
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 1: on Twitter. I don't know if it's not a Twitter meme,

48
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: so to speak, but you see this a lot, one's

49
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: gotta go. It'll give you a list of like hot dog, Hamburger, pizza, chickens,

50
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: and one of them's gotta go. Right, So I decided

51
00:02:55,560 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: to combine that with a little football on pop culture

52
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: and essentially create a bunch of one's gotta go, one

53
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: gotta go, one's gotta goes. I don't know plural version

54
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: of one's gotta go for people to think about in

55
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: my Daily Brew on Friday. So I figured I just

56
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: have some fun, put together some football it's some pop

57
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 1: culture ones, and then figure out which one's gotta go. Now,

58
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: this is for the readers. I gave my answers in

59
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: my article. But I saw either I think it was

60
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 1: either Sunday or maybe early today you retweet it. Maybe

61
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: it was over the weekend you retweet it. So I

62
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: don't know if you read it or thought about it,

63
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: but I thought if he hasn't, great, I'll surprise him

64
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: with it. If he has, he's had some opportunity to

65
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: think about it, so we can talk about it. This

66
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: ranges from everything from a lot of text and stuff

67
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: to football tailgates, to music in Houston, etc. Are you

68
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: willing and ready to play one you gotta go? I'm ready, Okay,

69
00:03:55,560 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: So this first one is one's gotta go football tale

70
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: gate item. Now to your point about full disclosure, I

71
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: have not been to a tailgate since twenty thirteen, okay,

72
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: because twenty fourteen is my first year in a building.

73
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: I'm all business before the game, right, I get my

74
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: I get the food, the press box. I think you're

75
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: probably the same way you get invited, though, don't you

76
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: well get invited a lot like people want me to

77
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: go tailgates, and I'm sure you're the same. But we

78
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: don't get out to the tailgates all that often. So

79
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: I know when I did this one, I start thinking

80
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: about some of the things I've seen before tailgates. I

81
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 1: know they get more, much more elaborate than that, but

82
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 1: I tried to come up with four things that I

83
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 1: thought might be at a Texans tailgate. One's gotta go,

84
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:43,799
Speaker 1: Mark Halapanio popper, case in guawk with homemade chips, pigs

85
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: in a blanket, barbecue meat balls, One's gotta go. Which

86
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: one is it? Halapano Popper real, no doubt about it, Johnny.

87
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: First of all, the case and guawk and ships is.

88
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: And we've asked guys like, what's your favorite cheap food?

89
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 1: That is my favorite? It cheet food. You put the

90
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: chip into the guawk and the case, so in a

91
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: little pico on there, I'm done. It's I'm done. It

92
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: doesn't really get much better than that. Right as far

93
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: as just good yeah, I can't call it junk food.

94
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: It's not junk no food, but it's not exactly felt

95
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: provoking yeah, okay, or promoting. But I will say the

96
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 1: high Opinio popper. I've never been a big high opinio guy.

97
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: And I know that sounds anti Texan, but it's just

98
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: not my thing. So and I Barbee, would you say

99
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 1: barbecue meatballs? Yeah? Like meatballs and if you do them right,

100
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 1: if you do them right, and you can get like

101
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: a lacquer of barbecue on the meat. Well, am I

102
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: like putting it on a plate and a stick like

103
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: individual size to me, till little one is best if

104
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: I can eat it one thing at a time, bite,

105
00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 1: or to hold a beverage. That's what a beverage. Yeah,

106
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 1: like for most for heat is it's you know, you

107
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: put it a tote, you got in one hand. It's all.

108
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: It's all right there, fix it how you want. Yeah,

109
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: I went pigs in blank Even though I love pigs

110
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: in a blanket. I just couldn't do HALPENI a popper

111
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 1: because just every combination the biggest Halpenia fan. But I

112
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: love the combination. If I was having a party, it

113
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: would be the pigs in a blanket, Yeah it would. Yeah,

114
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: But for me personally, there you go, all right, this

115
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 1: one gets interesting. One's gotta go Texans victories, Oh gosh,

116
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen at Colts first ever on the road. It's

117
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: not gonna be that one. I can tell you that

118
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: right now. Two thousand and two, Dallas first w ever,

119
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: My children twenty eleven Bengals Yates to Walter Oh, twenty

120
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: eleven Bengals first playoff win ever. You're making me pick

121
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: amongst my children's got one's gotta go hoping you'd pick

122
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: one that didn't matter as much to me. No, that's

123
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 1: why I did it. I have one. You have to

124
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: Road Colts twenty fifteen, first win ever at Indiana Road

125
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: twenty first win ever twenty eleven Bengals regular season twenty

126
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: eleven Bengals. You're going to freak out a little bit

127
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: on me here, and people will, But I can't take

128
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: away the first playoff win. It's the first playoff win.

129
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: It's a playoff when you cannot take that away. I

130
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: will not take away the first win in Indy. I

131
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: will not take away the first win and franchise history.

132
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: I will take away if I have to choose among

133
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: those four. The December when it was a tenth or

134
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: eleventh game at Cincinnati where they clinched because of this,

135
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: you lose that game, and they were on their way

136
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: to losing that game. I mean, we all know that

137
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: was a gonnmatic victory. Yes, you still have three more

138
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: shots to get it done, and one of them is

139
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: at horrible Indie. Now, possibly, Johnny, you could have lost

140
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: to Caroline to the following week Cam Newton as a rookie,

141
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,679
Speaker 1: which they did, and I think they lost that game

142
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: as much as any reason, because they had a little

143
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: bit of a hangover after beating the Bengals to clinch

144
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: the first ever playoff victory. Had they lost that Bengals game,

145
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: they come home and they're guns blazing against the Panthers

146
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: and probably win, but maybe they don't. And then on

147
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: a Thursday night they go to the Colts and they

148
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: beat them because they need the wins. See, I think

149
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: they would have gotten one of those final three in

150
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: order to get to the postseason for the first time. Now,

151
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: had they beaten the Panthers, Bengals before that, Panthers and

152
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: the Colts, they were alive for a buy. But they

153
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: had Yates and it was understandable and everybody forgave them,

154
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 1: so to speak, because everyone was juiced to get to

155
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 1: the playoffs for the first time. The last game was

156
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: against the Titans. Again they almost won anyway, despite playing

157
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: Yates for one drive and Jake Delane for the rest

158
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: of the game. So I would say I'm eliminating that

159
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: December twenty eleven. It makes me feel bad for the

160
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: playoff game. I said, the playoff games gotta go because

161
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: the game in India is one of the greatest, one

162
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 1: of the greatest, Like we got to the stadium. I

163
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: think it's that maybe seven and eight in the morning

164
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: that day, from the time we left the building, maybe

165
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: I don't know, four or thirty. That was the best

166
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: eight and a half hours. To beat the Colts the

167
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: first time on the road and to see like that

168
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: my personal favorite. But it's just a personal thing. Yeah,

169
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: So now it's down to which one of these Bengals games,

170
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: and I think the regular season Bengals game. You're right,

171
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: you ramp some great points about the fact that they're

172
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: you know, I could maybe they lose that game, but

173
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 1: then they you know, gets Hey, gets them back on

174
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: track and they end up winning down the road. Sure

175
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: I did. There's a lot about the playoff game. The

176
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: atmosphere here was just unbelievable. I was doing my overnight

177
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: show at the time, and so I didn't get to

178
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:50,959
Speaker 1: that game because I was, like, I think I woke

179
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: up at the time the game was starting because I

180
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: was in such weird hours. But I just remember watching

181
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: it feeling like, Okay, this is this is incredible. But

182
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: there's always something about winning on the road and winning

183
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: a game the way that they won it. Yates t J.

184
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: Yates became a cole hero for that win against the Bengals. Yeah,

185
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: but if you don't win the playoff game, it's this

186
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 1: sense of frustration going into the following year when you

187
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: get it done. They beat the Bengals again obviously on

188
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: wild card weekend, but they would have preferred to have

189
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:25,079
Speaker 1: home field advantage throughout. But here's the other day, the playoff,

190
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: the first ever playoff win. That day, that was the

191
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 1: perfect day, and that was a glorious day. Had well,

192
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: I thought this is not going well. Then JJ picked

193
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: it off as like everything changed. Yeah, they completely took

194
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: control of the day, and I knew it was gonna

195
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,199
Speaker 1: be tough. At two rookie quarterbacks Andy Dalton second round

196
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: draft choice, and Aran scored. Andre Johnson scoring was huge.

197
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: That was just so exhilarating to see that happen. So

198
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: I can't never take away all right, So I have

199
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 1: to convince me them on Gotta Go out that it

200
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: was a good one's gotta go. I just I picked.

201
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: It's called Sophie's choice Harris style. Okay, this one's better though, Okay,

202
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: this one's better. One's gotta go AFC South Star One's

203
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: gotta go Okay, Derrick Henry, Jonathan Taylor, Darius Leonard or

204
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 1: the apparently two hundred ninety five pounds felt Jeffrey Simmons,

205
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: one's gotta go. All right, so this is gonna help me? Yes,

206
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: this doesn't hurt. You still leave three rock stars, but

207
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 1: you can at least get one out. Well, I could

208
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: gamble and say Henry's coming back from the injury. Although

209
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,839
Speaker 1: I saw a workout, These Derek Henry workout videos just

210
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: depressed me so fun Like, no, no, I went, I

211
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: come on, man, just like lifting body's beaten up. He

212
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: was lifting go. He was benching two manhole covers on

213
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 1: each end, right with a gigantic chain that you dock

214
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: the Titanic with on each bar, on each enerm bar. Anyways, enough,

215
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: I'm like, this is a ridiculous. He's a superhero and

216
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: the thing that's worse about it. And this goes for

217
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: Taylor too. Yeah, I've heard this from a few people,

218
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry and Jonathan Taylor like Salt of the Earth dudes,

219
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 1: like really really good guys are that's great and it

220
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,839
Speaker 1: really makes me feel a whole all right, Pick one

221
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry, Jonathan Taylor, Darius Leonard, Jeffrey Simon. I'll take

222
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: out Taylor. That takes the Colts out of business. It

223
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: really does. That hurts them so bad. They have Matt

224
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: Ryan at quarterback. I mean, their whole thing is about

225
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: being able to run with Jonathan Taylor. There's no way

226
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: they can be as good without. I have more faith

227
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: than the Titans being able to manufacture victories without Henry

228
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 1: than I do about the Colts if I'm a Colts fan,

229
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: being able to manufacture wins without Taylor. So I'll take

230
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: Taylor out. Never mind the defensive guys. He'd be nice

231
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: to lose Simmons or Darius Leonard. But let's be real here.

232
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: These are MVP candidates who are talking about here in

233
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: Derek Henry and Jonathan Taylor. I'm with you. That's what

234
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: I picked, all right. One's gotta go sequels. Okay, well,

235
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: you haven't seen one of these. It's all right, though,

236
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: I know it's great. Top Gun, Maverick got it, Godfather two,

237
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: Rocky two, Terminator two. Oh, that's pretty easy for me, Johnny,

238
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: Terminator two. Yeah, Terminator two. Is it's a good sequel.

239
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 1: It is, it's good. It's good. It's interesting that they

240
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 1: turned Arnold into a good guy. Right, he's playing the

241
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: same character, but now I'm good. Well, it's not the

242
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: same character. It's just another robot that looks exactly like

243
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: the first one because it's Arnold Forseneger playing him. And

244
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: I think Terminator one, the concept of it, all, the

245
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 1: whole series really at the time travel aspect of it

246
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 1: is great. We can get into a whole thing about that,

247
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: but we won't. Godfather two won Best Picture. It might

248
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: be my favorite movie of all times, so there's no

249
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: way I'm getting rid of that one. But Terminator two

250
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 1: is the one. What was the other one? Oh, Rocky too,

251
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 1: Look Rocky two. I think it's not that it's really great,

252
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 1: but it is. It's the Rocky format as they started

253
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: to find it. You know, Rocky one. We talked about this.

254
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: It's slow. Yeah, it's a great movie, one Best Picture.

255
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: But if you show it to like the Tylers here

256
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: are video guys, they would just yawn city. They don't

257
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: even like good Fellas. They would find that so boring

258
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: and slow. Other than the fight scene and you know

259
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: a few other aspects of it. Carl Weathers is great

260
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: as a polo creed of course, so I would say

261
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: Rocky too. I'm keeping I'm gonna get rid of Terminator too,

262
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: because it's the one I need the least. I like

263
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: the scene where Adrian says when is just one of

264
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: the best scenes in sports movies. So I'm embarrassed myself

265
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: here you said Godfather Too, and I'm gonna vomit? Yes,

266
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: But what the reason I said about Wait, no, you

267
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: haven't got to the embarrassing part yet. The reason I

268
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: said Godfather Too is, Oh, no, I've not seen it.

269
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: How is this? He Wait a minute, I haven't seen

270
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: We've been doing shows together, and you haven't seen Godfather Too?

271
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: Have you seen Godfather one? I think so most of it.

272
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: I can't say that I've sat down to see the

273
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: whole like I've seen every bit in part of it.

274
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: I just don't know if I've seen it all in order.

275
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: But I will say this, my son, we were trying

276
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: to figure out a series we had just finished. I

277
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: can't remember what we just finished. We finished, Oh, we're

278
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: caught up on Saul. But it called Saul and we're

279
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 1: at the half break, and we were trying to find

280
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: a series that we had to watch. Torturing me with

281
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: this halftime better called break, I know, and it just

282
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: got great again. And I was like, what about Sopranos

283
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: And Jack's like, yeah, let's do it. So I'm watching

284
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: the first episode and so I send a picture of

285
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: it to Sean, who convinced me to watch Sopranos, and

286
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: I was like, the journey begins again. Yeah for young Jack,

287
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: my Jack. And so he's like, oh my gosh. Well,

288
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: we watched one episode, then we watched a couple and

289
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: I could tell Jack wasn't totally into it. I think

290
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: we got the episode four or five and it was like,

291
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: let's watch the next one. Let's watch that. He's hooked now.

292
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: And we got through season one of Sopranos, So I

293
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: think I could probably get him to watch Godfather and Godfathers.

294
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: After you're done with that, you gotta watch Godfather and

295
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: watch it like a series. Okay, So this this happened.

296
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: This popped up on in the Loop with Landry and

297
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: John the other day, One's Gotta Go TV slash movie,

298
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: Non Football, Bull Durham, Field of Dreams, Miracle, The Natural,

299
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: One's got gut says the Natural. Field of Dreams is hokey, okay,

300
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: but it's great and the older I get, the more

301
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. When it first came out of was

302
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: I in my twenties, Yeah, I was, and I didn't

303
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: like it that much. I thought it was okay, you know,

304
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: and I lived in Boston, so the Fenway Parks stuff,

305
00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: I like that. But the whole thing about the the

306
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: players coming out of the corn. The older you get,

307
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: the more you like that movie. Yeah, that's my theory.

308
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: On the Coil of Dreams, you get nostalgic about the

309
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: whole thing. The Natural is terrific, except there's a lot

310
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: of cumbersome scenes in the Natural. It's there are a

311
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: lot of laborious moments in the Natural. There are a

312
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: lot of great moments. There are some of the best

313
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: moments in sports movie history in the Natural. But I

314
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 1: don't need the whole Kim Basinger thing, and I know

315
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: the lady and I don't want to get into a

316
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 1: spoilers because some of the young people haven't seen The

317
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: Natural yet. But there are some great lines in the Natural.

318
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 1: But if I have to get rid of one of those,

319
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: it's the Natural. There's no way. It's Bull Durham, which

320
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: is maybe the greatest sports movie ever made. At least

321
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: one of them, and what was the other one? So

322
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 1: Bull Durham Field of Dreams. Oh, Miracle is too good

323
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: to get rid of. Awesome it Miracles terrific is a

324
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: true story. I know they probably take some liberties, but

325
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: the guys from Boston and Minnesota and Kurt Russell is

326
00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: Herb Brooks fantastic. I think about that movie, and I

327
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 1: thought about that movie a lot. I don't want to

328
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: get on a political rent here, but one thing that

329
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: that movie gets into was how much the United States

330
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 1: needed a team like that to kind of feel it's

331
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: American business. If we could really use that now, we

332
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 1: could absolutely I think about that a lot. But there's

333
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: no you know, it could do it. There's one thing

334
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: a Texans World Championship that would other than that, that

335
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: would bring us all together, that bring Houston to Davis

336
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: Mills is Mike Ruzione. Uh no, No, what what international

337
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 1: sports event could do? Cup? Yes, that's the only thing.

338
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: World Cup, World Cup, You're the man's World Cup. You

339
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: imagine the American men winning. Oh my god. I once

340
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: had a huge argument with Rich Lord on the air

341
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 1: when we did the show together a thousand thousand years ago.

342
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 1: But it was when Lance Armstrong was doing really well

343
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: at the Tour de France. Yeah, and we had a debate.

344
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: I don't know how we got into this. It's ridiculous

345
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: now and he I was winning it and this when

346
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,880
Speaker 1: Lance was winning today and it was big. People would

347
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: watch it. They watched it on the Outdoor Network or

348
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: whatever it was at the time. I said, listen, Rich,

349
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: if the US men's soccer team ever got to a

350
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 1: semifinal in the World Cup, it would crush the meaning

351
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 1: of the torto friends. He's like, no, sorry, Rich, if

352
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: you're listening right now, that his argument is more ridiculous

353
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,919
Speaker 1: than ever. Sorry, Rich, But yeah, it would just to

354
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,400
Speaker 1: get to the semis would be incredibly huge. To get

355
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: to get to a final would be amazing. To win it,

356
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: are you kidding? It would be miracle. It would be

357
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: bigger than miracle. I'm a name drop. My daughter was

358
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: in La a few months ago and they were at

359
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: a coffee shop, her and her friend, and they were

360
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 1: talking about different things in this guy was just happening

361
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: over here them and introduced himself and said, hi, my

362
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 1: name is Roger Town and my daughter and her friend

363
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 1: were nice and they got to talking and found out Yeah,

364
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: he was the screenwriter for The Natural. Oh my gosh.

365
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 1: I was like, I was like, I can a young man. No, no,

366
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 1: no, no no, he's not. He's not. He was not hitting

367
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 1: on that. He just yeah, I don't think he was anyways.

368
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: So mine was Field of Dreams. So Natural, Natural's gotta stay.

369
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 1: That's understandable. Yeah, a lot of people don't like that movie. Okay,

370
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:17,880
Speaker 1: I saved the best too for last, and we might

371
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 1: might trying to figure out how I want to end

372
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: this segment. Do I want to do it with like

373
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 1: a yeah, I do, one's gotta go. The thought here

374
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 1: is to eliminate the least gut punch name games. Gut

375
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: punch name game, gut punch name games. Okay you'll know,

376
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 1: all right, Okay, I just give you the game itself.

377
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 1: You have to eliminate the least gut punch loss. All right,

378
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: all right, here they are twenty four nothing insanity. Yeah,

379
00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: the Baronas game, yeah, Rosen, it's more than four hassleback

380
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: and diaper and the pick six game. Ah, now that

381
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: was in a season where the lot of pick six.

382
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: But you know, talking about yes, you know, ones got

383
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,719
Speaker 1: to go. And the thought is to eliminate the least

384
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: gut punch loss. Okay, group twenty four nothing, vinsanity, the

385
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: baronas game, Rosen Copter hassleback in a diaper, pick six games.

386
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 1: It's twenty four nothing. That's the least gut punch. That's

387
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: least punch. That was twenty fourteen Thursday Night Football with

388
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 1: the cults, they go of twenty no no, no, no

389
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 1: no no, talking about playoffs lost the Chiefs. You might

390
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: as well put them in up. Why did my mind

391
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 1: go there first? Johnny? This is me we're talking about.

392
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: This is the mental blockage I have of that game

393
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: because I went, like, way back in time, Yes you did,

394
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: because I'm like, wait, because I remember that I was

395
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: twenty four and nothing. That was t Y Hilton deep

396
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: on site, Kig Pat McAfee. Score again, it's twenty four nothing,

397
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: and we're like what and then the Texans making it

398
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: a game. To me, that's it's a it's a gut

399
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: punch losscause it's to the Colts. It is because watch

400
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 1: scores on a fumble return and you have a chance

401
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: to win the game. Right, So it's not so much

402
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: the Colt but it's but you're nothing. I know. I

403
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: wasn't thinking post season. I'm like, what could possibly be painful? Yeah,

404
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,159
Speaker 1: min uh, it's not gonna be that one. That's not

405
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: the least gut punchy Vinceanity way. That's the most in

406
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: the regular season. The Baronas Game two thousand and seven,

407
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 1: it's that Rob Baronis eight field goals. It's that when

408
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,439
Speaker 1: you're up, you're down, like thirty two to seven, and

409
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: you come back and no, you take the lead. Yeah,

410
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 1: took the lead on the Andre Davis touchdown. You take

411
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: the lead on the Andre Davis fifty. I've never for

412
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 1: those lose it for those people that nowhere don't know

413
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: up in the press box. When you're in the press box,

414
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,120
Speaker 1: there is no cheering except in the Texans booth, which

415
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: is fine, or the opposed booth that's fine, or the

416
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: coaches boots that's fine. The media cannot cheer. That game

417
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 1: was an utter disaster at thirty two to seven. It

418
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:12,199
Speaker 1: was a just disaster. And then the fourth quarter the

419
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: Texans make this incredible comeback. Incredible when when Andre Davis

420
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 1: catches that ball on our side where all the radio

421
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: guys are TV, you guys aren't all that It erupted. Now,

422
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 1: there weren't many people there. They're only like seven of us.

423
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: Because everybody else is like this one's over. They had

424
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 1: all gone home. I decided to stay at it and

425
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 1: get sound. After the game it erupted. I had never

426
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 1: heard of press box erupted like that, and it was

427
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 1: more maybe out of shock as opposed to check and

428
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: then Rona's fuel goal reaction. That's the one I choose

429
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: because of that, because the Texans comeback was incredible. That's

430
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 1: what I remember more than as painful as it was.

431
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 1: It's not the I mean, Hasselbeck in a diaper was

432
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 1: super painful. I John's and two touchdown catches. I don't

433
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 1: have to go through the whole thing, but the least

434
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: painful of all of those is that one. The Seattle

435
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 1: game was incredibly pain Oh my god, I mean that unbelievable.

436
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: That might have outdone Vinsanity for me in many ways,

437
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,439
Speaker 1: and it changed everybody's lives, so there was a lot

438
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: of impact there. Yeah, I'm going with the I'm going

439
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 1: with a baronas okay, last one game okay, as will

440
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: do it went in a high note. One's gotta go

441
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:21,640
Speaker 1: Texans drafts Okay, no certain order two thousand and six,

442
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: Mario to Miko Winston, Daniels Anderson two thousand and eleven,

443
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: Watt Reid, Yates Newton two thousand and nine, Coush Barb

00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: and GQ, James Casey, Bryce McCain two thousand and three.

445
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 1: Had just two guys. They're pretty good Andrey Johnson, Dominic

446
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 1: Williams twenty twelve, Whitney Merciless, Brandon Brooks, Ben Jones. One's

447
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 1: gotta go oh twenty twelve. Uh, I mean sorry, Whitney

448
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: and Ben and Brandon. Yeah, it's pretty good though. That's

449
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: a good draft. That's a good draft for truly. Those

450
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,679
Speaker 1: two guys went on and became a yeah. But people say, oh,

451
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:52,880
Speaker 1: ricks Man's got third and fourth round picks. Those guys

452
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 1: are third and fourth round picks, right, And you know what,

453
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: they were pretty good. You just chose not to sign them.

454
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 1: Can't sign everybody. Maybe they should have signed them. I

455
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: don't know. All we can talk about that all day.

456
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: But those are good picks period. They just are. You know,

457
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 1: I through a few years ago where we looked at

458
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen and thought, yeah, now we look at twenty

459
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: seventeen and go m not really. I'm hoping twenty twenty.

460
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,159
Speaker 1: I almost put twenty twenty one in there, and I

461
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 1: was like, not yet, not not not quite. No, No,

462
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 1: it's too sills, too soon, too soon to declare it anything. Yeah,

463
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:26,439
Speaker 1: you know, did I forget one, three, six, eleven, twelve. No,

464
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 1: that's good. I mean if you're choosing them on good

465
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: drafts and everything, Uh, I think that's the way to go.

466
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: I think two thousand and eight was good at its

467
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: time because he's Slayton had a monster year. Had he

468
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,239
Speaker 1: been able to duplicate that or come close to it

469
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 1: because he had Dwayne in the first round. But six

470
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: is fantastic. Three, like you said, when you get Andre

471
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: and Dominic Davis again, Dominic Williams. He only lasted three years.

472
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: He's still the second leading rusher in franchise history. Incredible.

473
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 1: Dp's got to change that. Damian Pierce, Oh boy, somebody

474
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: has to. Somebody that won't on the offensive side but

475
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 1: could on the defensive side is Christian Kirksey. Christian Kirksey

476

496
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,880
Speaker 1: to this Monday edition Texas All Access. John Harris here,

497
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 1: Mark VanderMeer there, Mark, I've thought about this a lot

498
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 1: since last season, and Christian Kirksey not only what he

499
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: means on the field, but the leadership professionalism in this

500
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 1: interview that we did with him today. Today was Texas

501
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,679
Speaker 1: Media Days and we had an opportunity to have Christian

502
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 1: coming here for interview about to hear Mark. I can't

503
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 1: tell you how many times. I think it was two

504
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 1: or three times. I can't tell you for sure how

505
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 1: many times it was. And after the game, I always

506
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 1: getting interviewed, you know that, ye down outside locker room,

507
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 1: I get one of the players after the game, And

508
00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 1: in a four thirteenth season, that could be cut of tough,

509
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: because who do you get who wants to talk about

510
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: a loss? But about two or three times I got

511
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 1: Christian Kirksy to come out there and he would handle

512
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 1: it like the best pro I've ever seen. And I

513
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 1: remember coming back at some point telling you about that, saying,

514
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 1: I wish this guy had been here through the prime

515
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: of his career, and hopefully this is right in his prime,

516
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:22,880
Speaker 1: but I wish you would have been here for more

517
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: than just a couple of years. But it's one of

518
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 1: the things that I tell people a lot of times

519
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 1: when it comes to acquiring players, Mario Addison, Jerry Hughes,

520
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 1: you know, guys that might be a little bit more

521
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: seasoned than others. But man, the leadership qualities that these

522
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: guys have it just incredible. If you have that in

523
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: a player like you have Christian Kirksey, you've got more

524
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 1: than just what you get on the field. And how

525
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: valuable that is the rest of the team. I mean,

526
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: that's what they want. It's not like you could have

527
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 1: too many chiefs. You have to have leaders and you

528
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 1: can lead quietly, you can lead loudly, you can lead

529
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: in a variety of ways. But he's got a presence

530
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: about him. There's no question about it, no doubt. We

531
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: had a blast talking to Christian Kirksey. And here it

532
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 1: is joining us right now the Hunday Texans Radio Studios.

533
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: Christian Kirksey. So here we are year two and you're Johnny.

534
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: You were talking about guys who have been here for

535
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: a while. It feels like you've been here for a

536
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 1: while now and it hasn't been that long. It's only

537
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: a year or two. But we have so many new

538
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: players in the organization. How does it feel to be

539
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 1: You're not in an older states been here, but you're

540
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: one of the leaders. People look to you. How is

541
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: that for you? Uh, you know, it's been a good

542
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: ride for for me. Um, just being in that position.

543
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 1: UM to be you know, quote unquote a leader on

544
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 1: this team. UM, I take that with great pride. But

545
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: it's always comfortable once you in the organization, in the

546
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 1: scheme for more than one year and you just you

547
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: just get comfortable. You get comfortable with the guys in

548
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: the building. You get comfortable with you know how coaches want,

549
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: you know, the guys that play in this particular scheme.

550
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: So I'm loving it, man. I think that we're gonna

551
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: do a lot of great things this year and we're

552
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: building that that that that chemistry right now as we're

553
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 1: just going to OTAs and now going too many camp

554
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: you could already see like the edge that guys have

555
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: right now. So I'm having a good time man leading

556
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 1: these guys and just enjoying it. Christian felt like as

557
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 1: we watched you and watch you throughout your career when

558
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 1: you came here, I remember thinking, oh boy, this is

559
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 1: gonna be This can be a good fit and interesting

560
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: fit for him. In this defense, I think it's a

561
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: good defensive fit for you. Was that true? Is it true?

562
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: Is this defense a good fit for you and your skills?

563
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 1: I believe so. I believe so. This defense obviously, um

564
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: it allows guys to play fast and make plays on

565
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 1: all levels, but particularly this linebacker group. It's it's driven

566
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: by us. I mean you can look back and see,

567
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 1: you know, love these track record in his defense, the

568
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 1: linebackers always ran the show and it just allow you

569
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: to show your athletic ability, show what you can really do.

570
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: You can really open up and run. And I think

571
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: that's something that I do well in my game and

572
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: I really take pride in my game is being able

573
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: to play well in space, be able to you know,

574
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: open up run, whether it's garden receiver I mean running

575
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: backs or tight ends out the backfield. Um. You know,

576
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: I think this really really is a good defense with

577
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 1: me just to show you, no showcase my ability. Christian

578
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 1: Kirksey joining us. How's Garrett Walla looking year till because

579
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 1: Nick Kissia we had him on. He was talking about

580
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 1: him specifically how it looks like he's taken that needed

581
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 1: year one to year two jump at least where we

582
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 1: are right down the citizen. You know, he took a

583
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: big stride. I mean obviously, like you know, he played

584
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: last year. I believe it was the Jaguars Jonville. He

585
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 1: I mean, he showed flashes of him being, you know,

586
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: a really good linebacker. And I think that he just

587
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: took that leap where he's comfortable. Um, your year one,

588
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: you don't have a bunch of stuff going on, you know,

589
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: whether it's you know, just putting your your your your

590
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 1: first step into the league. Then you have you know,

591
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: you know, being on your own financially, having like probably

592
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: more money you ever had. You dealing with that, You're

593
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: dealing with, you know, being accepted into the locker room

594
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: than you just dealing with just coming off of a

595
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: loan college season, loan college grind of you know, prepping

596
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 1: for the Combine prep, so it's just NonStop news thing

597
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: is going on. And this year, once you can settle

598
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: down and have a true off season and know like Okay,

599
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 1: I know what it feels like to be in the league.

600
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: I know what I need to do. I think he

601
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:24,479
Speaker 1: took that and he just had a great off season

602
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 1: and he's just been been honing in and and just

603
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: getting better every time I see him. He's competing in

604
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: something so you know, I'm happy to see where he's

605
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: at now, he's gonna be a good player. I'm gonna

606
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: pay you a compliment with a question, if this makes

607
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 1: any sense, But during a postgame interview after some games

608
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: last year, it was not gonna be great because it

609
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: was not It was not a great performance. And there,

610
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: you know, Omar would come over and say, hey, you

611
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 1: got Kirko, You got Kirko, And I would feel terrible

612
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 1: because I know that's got to be such a bad feeling.

613
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: Like John's gotta interview me after the game. He's gotta

614
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 1: interview somebody, and you gotta talk about man, we just

615
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 1: got beat by this team. But you always came over

616
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: there and you always did the interview no matter what

617
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: the question is, How did you learn to become a

618
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: professional of that magnitude that you knew that there was

619
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 1: something that you had to do. You didn't want to

620
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: do it, nobody really wants to do it, but you

621
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 1: did it. You stood up and you took sort of

622
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: the media bullets, if you will, for the team. Where

623
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 1: did you learn that along the way to be that

624
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: type of professional? To be honest, man, I learned it.

625
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 1: I learned at an early age. I can even go

626
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: back as far as I learned to the IOWA. At

627
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: the end of the day, you know, you're you're a

628
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 1: professional athlete and in life you have to do things

629
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: that you don't want to do. So so when when

630
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 1: you when you win a game, you can't say, Okay, yeah,

631
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: let's let's talk to the media and then turn it

632
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 1: off when you lose. You know, life doesn't work like that.

633
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: So for me, it's like, you know, it's part of

634
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 1: the job that you have to talk about your high

635
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 1: moments and you also got to talk about your low

636
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 1: moments when things not going well. So I just took

637
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 1: that and just said, you know, um, regardless of my

638
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: emotion of them I'm feeling about that time, just go

639
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 1: up there and talk about it. What we're wrong, what

640
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 1: what are some things they went right, and what can

641
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: we do to fix it? So, um, you know, I

642
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 1: just carry myself in that in that manner. You know,

643
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure it's times where y'all don't feel like

644
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,760
Speaker 1: asking us questions and it, but y'all do it. You know, Amen,

645
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: you know it's everybody. It's everybody you know job to

646
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 1: just cooperate, um, and just you know, go up by

647
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: the business like that. Christian, you were talking about the

648
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: defense earlier and some things that we could expect for

649
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. What are you seeing in this offense?

650
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: You have so many reps against this softfense and they're

651
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 1: a little different now the news system Pet Hamilton as

652
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: the coordinator, what are you seeing from the Texans offense?

653
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: I'm I ain't gonna spill the beans. They're gonna be physical, um,

654
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 1: And I think when you have a physical offense, you know,

655
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: you set the tone, and you know from a defensive

656
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 1: standpoint where you're going against a physical offense day in

657
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 1: and day out, you know that practice. I think he's

658
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 1: just hard as the whole team. So I'm excited. Well,

659
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: what those guys about to do? Um, you know it's

660
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 1: gonna be fun. The iron sharpened iron. We're going to

661
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 1: get them in practice, and you know, we're looking at

662
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 1: ourselfs like, hey man, we got to do some things

663
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: better because of you know some good things that are doing.

664
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 1: The offense is doing nothing but helping us. So I'm

665
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: excited to see to see what the offense due. Christian,

666
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 1: I talked to Comma about this. You have a quarter

667
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: young quarterback, a rookie quarterback last year in Davis Mills.

668
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 1: When he's playing early in the season, it felt like, boy,

669
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,359
Speaker 1: it's a struggle. It's hard as rookie's trying to learn

670
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 1: how to play in this game. And the defense would

671
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:32,839
Speaker 1: keep the team around and then it just you know,

672
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 1: team would score, you know, a buffalo. I mean, the

673
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 1: thing was sixteen nothing on the fourth quarter, like there's

674
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: still a shot. But you know, Davis was struggling. He

675
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:41,320
Speaker 1: was still trying to find his way as a rookie.

676
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 1: When he came back in the line up a last

677
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 1: four or five games, it was almost as if he

678
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: not only got the respect of the offense, but it

679
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 1: was like the defensive guys, hey man, we might have

680
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:52,879
Speaker 1: something with this young dude out there what he's doing.

681
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 1: And I talked him leak about this guts something a

682
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 1: league talking to him. Did you guys feel that way

683
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 1: that you started seeing a change in Davis when you

684
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 1: got back in the lineup those last probably five six games,

685
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 1: And how did it impact you guys? Yeah, I saw

686
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: I saw a change of them. I mean he only

687
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 1: played like eleven games I think in college in college, right,

688
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 1: so it's like everybody has to go through their growing pains.

689
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: And I know people always look at the quarterback is like,

690
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,879
Speaker 1: you know, the person that's running the show, which all

691
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:19,959
Speaker 1: eyes is on the quarterback. But you still gotta allow

692
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:23,320
Speaker 1: guys to have their growing pains and their time to develop.

693
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,239
Speaker 1: And I think, uh, you know early on, how you

694
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 1: say he was struggling things like that, Every NFL player

695
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 1: struggled at some point, and early on, it's kind of

696
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: expected for you to go out there, you make your

697
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:39,479
Speaker 1: mistakes and understand you know, a different concept with different things,

698
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 1: and then once you get comfortable, you hit your stride.

699
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,399
Speaker 1: And I think that's that's exactly what he did. And

700
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 1: you can just see like the change and like his

701
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 1: demeanor and like his confidence, you know, as he was,

702
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 1: you know, making those correct checks and making those plays

703
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 1: and those throws. You're like, he's starting to get it,

704
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 1: you know. And when your quarterback is getting it and

705
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 1: he's getting at a very young age, you know, like

706
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 1: he's he's he's he's going to be, you know, a

707
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: great player, and the team can build off and they

708
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 1: can feel it, you know, So like when when your

709
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 1: quarterback carry himself with that sage so aggry everybody else

710
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 1: don't carry himselves as well. So you know, I'm excited

711
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,839
Speaker 1: for your two meals. All right, Christian, thanks a lot

712
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,399
Speaker 1: for the time. We appreciate it, good luck. Appreciate Mark.

713
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 1: I had to thank him. When you do all those interviews.

714
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:24,359
Speaker 1: I know it's not a long interview, but you're gonna

715
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,440
Speaker 1: do with the media. You gotta do with me and

716
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 1: you've gotten beat. It's the it's the one thing you

717
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 1: don't want to do. And over the years I've had

718
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:31,840
Speaker 1: players like nope and losses, they just don't want to

719
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 1: do it. Sure, and I don't blame him, but Christian

720
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 1: Kirksey always the consummate professional. I said to tell him,

721
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: thanks for it. Yeah, it's great that he did that.

722
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: Brandon cooks the same thing on Monday mornings with us

723
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 1: after tough losses. I think, you know the emotion and

724
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:48,879
Speaker 1: we're around it. We're really close to these guys. We're

725
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 1: on a plane. The emotions they have right after a game,

726
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: emotions are running high. It feels like the world has

727
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 1: caved in. Yes, it's a game. There are many more

728
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 1: important things in life, but it's also their livelihood and

729
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 1: their careers don't last that long. Relative to other people's careers,

730
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: so you get it. It's very intense, and he handles

731
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: everything very well. And look he's fired up. He's really

732
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 1: excited about what they've added on the defensive side of

733
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 1: the ball. You heard him talk about the offense. It's

734
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 1: going to be interesting to see the development, the progress

735
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 1: these guys show in the next few months. Yeah. I

736
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 1: think it's also you bring in Brandon Cooks after we

737
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 1: beat the Titans and guys whore coming back up the tunnel,

738
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 1: Brandon kind of made a blue over to me and said, hey,

739
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:31,839
Speaker 1: we got something good to talk about finally, And I

740
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 1: was like, I just thought it was really cool because

741
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 1: it was no matter what Brandon always came professionalism. And

742
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:39,919
Speaker 1: you see that in Christian Kirksey on the defensive side

743
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 1: of the ball too. So great those two veterans are

744

00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,720
Speaker 1: than the other, but the other one's kind of interesting.

759
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:48,320
Speaker 1: But two quarterbacks have apparently shown up at their team's

760
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 1: respective mini camps. The one that we haven't talked a

761
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 1: lot about, Lamar Jackson. We said about Lamar, I never

762
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 1: know really what he's thinking, what he's doing. Doesn't have

763
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 1: an age, his mom does a lot of his work.

764
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 1: He doesn't talk publicly and speak publicly a lot, but

765
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 1: he did show up for mini camps. Lamar Jackson there

766
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 1: for the Ravens. Doesn't have a contract, but he's there.

767
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:12,720
Speaker 1: The other one is somebody we have talked a lot about.

768
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 1: I can't say I'm surprised, and I think I'm kind

769
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 1: of glad that he's back. But Kyler Murray has shown

770
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,360
Speaker 1: up in Arizona. What's your gut reaction to those quarterbacks

771
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:26,399
Speaker 1: showing up for Mini Camp. I think these situations are

772
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:30,359
Speaker 1: way more different than people think. And I think if

773
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 1: there's one of these players that quote can afford to

774
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 1: miss OTAs more than the other, it's Lamar jack I agree,

775
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 1: he's kind of been there, done that. Now. Everybody was

776
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,280
Speaker 1: reacting to this tweet over the weekend. I can't remember

777
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 1: who tweeted it, but they were going over mahomes playoff

778
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 1: victories versus the combined total of Lamar Jackson to Shaun

779
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 1: wattson Kyler Murray. There are a few other guys because

780
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 1: there's came to seven or eight and Mahomes is eight

781
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 1: or nine, whatever the situation is. And I'm thinking, well, duh, yeah,

782
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 1: mahomes a is Mahomes. And he said Tyreek and Kelsey

783
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 1: and Andy Reid, I hope you could get Yes, he has.

784
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 1: I'm you can't take anything away from him. But at

785
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 1: the same time, he stepped into a fine tuned machine,

786
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:19,800
Speaker 1: as you can't even say as a rookie. As a rookie,

787
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 1: watched Alex Smith play and he played in the last

788
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,280
Speaker 1: game of the season and the next year he steps

789
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 1: in and he's off and running. Lamar Jackson came into

790
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 1: a situation where Joe Flacco was still playing and people

791
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:35,320
Speaker 1: were talking about this is the year Harbaugh gets fired,

792
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:39,399
Speaker 1: and Harbaugh, in another set of lists or whatever, when

793
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 1: you rank the NFL's best coaches, is adored, loved, if

794
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 1: not glorified, as one of the best head coaches in

795
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 1: the league. Johnny, what's the total playoff wins for the

796
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 1: Ravens since twenty fourteen? I think it's no, it's one,

797
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 1: because no, they didn't beat the Chargers. They lost it

798
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:02,720
Speaker 1: the Chargers at home. They beat something. They beat the Titans.

799
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:05,760
Speaker 1: Thank you for beating the Titans. We love you. So anyway,

800
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 1: they beat the Titans a year after they lost the

801
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 1: Titans after having the number one seed. But anyway, it's

802
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: not like the Ravens have set the world on fire

803
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 1: in the postseason lately. But my point is this, I'm

804
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 1: kind of getting off track. Harbaugh was rumored to be

805
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 1: getting fired if he didn't turn it around. Jackson comes

806
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 1: in and Boo runs all over the place his rookie year,

807
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 1: they make the postseason losing the Chargers. So I think

808
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 1: that Lamar Jackson. Yeah, maybe he can afford you more

809
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:33,879
Speaker 1: than others. But you know, you want to get better.

810
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,720
Speaker 1: If you're not getting better, you're getting worse. Right, Kyler Murray,

811
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 1: you gotta keep getting better. You gotta step into that

812
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 1: offense operate things. I hear too many people singing the

813
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 1: blues about what Kyler Murray doesn't have. He's got a

814
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 1: lot now they need on offensive line talent. You keep

815
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:51,879
Speaker 1: saying that. But he's got some things to work with

816
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,399
Speaker 1: and we'll see how it goes. Yeah, I think that's

817
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 1: the biggest thing to me for Kyler is that offensive line.

818
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 1: I mean when you look out there, now, Hop's not

819
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 1: gonna be out there for six games, but hop aj

820
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 1: Green roundel more they do. You think AJ Green's no good,

821
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:09,799
Speaker 1: then don't sign him. You know, James Connor, they had

822
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 1: a tremendous last part of the year defensively. They've got

823
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 1: athletes all over the place. But it's got to be

824
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 1: up to Carl Murray to step in in the way

825
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 1: that playoff game went where he didn't want to go

826
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 1: back in the fourth quarter. It's just things they don't like.

827
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 1: Niel's on a talk, but I'll tell you one thing

828
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 1: about Lamar Jackson. Mr. Jackson's gone on in that field

829
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 1: no matter what. It doesn't matter what's going on, Lamar

830
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 1: is gonna go out there because he's wearing a purple

831
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:35,279
Speaker 1: Ravens jersey and his teammates are. He's going out for them,

832
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 1: and I think that's what makes Lamar a special quarterback,

833
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:41,840
Speaker 1: besides the fact that he can run around anybody anywhere, anytime.

834
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 1: But glad to see him back and hopefully the Ravens

835
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,319
Speaker 1: will reward him with a contract so he doesn't end

836
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 1: up going to Tennessee or Indianapolis in the near future.

837
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 1: Hopefully that happened. Mark, appreciate your time. Christian Kirks, he

838
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 1: appreciates you. Austin Mendez, thank you, my man. We'll see
