00:00He did it in Spanish.
00:01Appreciation again to D&M all these foot across talk.
00:03But right now, The Drive is live.
00:05Oh, hell no, Tyler.
00:08Buckle up, buttercup.
00:10The speedometer's broken.
00:12And right now, on a hump day, The Drive is live.
00:18Yes.
00:18Love the effort.
00:19We've got to work on that.
00:20Well done, well done.
00:21Why don't you give it a shot then, show?
00:23We've got to work on it.
00:24I love the effort.
00:25I love the effort.
00:26I just want to give it your best, show man.
00:30I love the energy you're bringing right now, bro.
00:33It's not your fault, Reggie.
00:36It's not your fault, man.
00:38Right now, there's one person that said,
00:41this doesn't make for good radio, fellas.
00:43But the other people are cracking up.
00:45That person could have ruined this for us.
00:49I'll have new ones every day this week,
00:51and we can vote on which one is permanent.
00:54What male in particular?
00:56I mean, I don't know that females tip you.
00:57I'm not a female, so I can't necessarily speak for them.
01:00What male doesn't like a good back-and-forth trash talking with the fellas
01:04and one sulking while the other one's trying to make us feel?
01:09Apparently Leon here.
01:10I mean, who doesn't like that back-and-
01:12Leon?
01:12I mean, we ain't going to make – we're going to do it for four hours,
01:14but who doesn't like that –
01:15who doesn't sit around with their buddies and talk trash like that?
01:18Hey, hey, hey, real quick.
01:19At least on a PG level because we're on radio.
01:21Who doesn't do that?
01:22On a scale – as he's walking the halls –
01:24On a scale of one to ten, how serious do you think –
01:27Ten.
01:28Reggie is about this time.
01:29Ten.
01:30On a scale of one to ten of his –
01:33Eight point six.
01:35Annoyance.
01:35You'd be 8.6 at minimum.
01:38It's eight plus.
01:39You're right.
01:40Text line –
01:40It ain't smoke coming out of the ears.
01:42Text line, YouTube, and Twitch, except for that one person, Leon,
01:45who was out on it.
01:48Do y'all think he really mad?
01:51Rich?
01:52You think there's a piece of him that – because he's smiling,
01:54but do you think there's a piece of him that's really annoying?
01:56I think the sulking part really got to him.
01:59I can tell that –
02:01I'm always good raw dog in the drive.
02:02That word right there.
02:03Yeah, that hit him.
02:05That's all right.
02:05We got a plan.
02:07We got a plan for him moving forward.
02:10You're not going to just quit on us.
02:12No chance.
02:13We got a plan for him moving forward.
02:14But the drive is live, and we are live here.
02:17And as you heard, today is the last day.
02:20The drive will be on Sports Radio 610 32 years.
02:24Well, the drive hasn't been on here for 32 years,
02:26but Sports Radio 610 around 32 years.
02:30This is the last episode of The Drive on Sports Radio 610
02:34before we move tomorrow to 95.7, the fan.
02:38So we'll have some fun.
02:40We'll have some fun.
02:41A little Astros day baseball a little bit later on.
02:43We'll get you updated and get you ready for that.
02:46Lineups are out.
02:47And guess what, Tyler?
02:49Clint Sterner strikes again.
02:51Oh, Lord.
02:52Because, I mean, they just can't possibly have any more injuries.
02:55They won't stop getting injured any time now.
02:57Oh, that was a fluke deal.
02:59Yeah, I know.
03:00Clint, that's a part of the injury thing.
03:02A lot of them are flukes.
03:04Every one of your nons, half of his are flukes.
03:07Stepping on plates, right?
03:08Like, Jake couldn't make it past the pitcher's mound when he came off the aisle.
03:15Yeah, a lot of them are.
03:17But he strikes again as Jose Altuve.
03:19Okay, x-rays were negative, but still very, very sore, though.
03:23And he is not in the lineup today, Nick Allen.
03:25Well, that's all right.
03:25According to y'all, the in-the-loop guys and both of y'all, according to y'all,
03:29hell, he's just a nice side dish.
03:32So, I mean, it's a...
03:33He is.
03:33That is a perfect way to explain it.
03:35I mean, look at old Nick Allen's stats, man.
03:37He'll be a good little side dish.
03:39No, Nick Allen is not a side dish.
03:41What is he?
03:43Wow.
03:44He is a napkin?
03:51A hot chair?
03:52No, you need napkins more than that.
03:55Yeah, I mean, he's...
03:59He's...
04:01Ketchup?
04:02Yeah, he's ketchup.
04:04He's a good condiment?
04:05He's a good condiment?
04:06Yeah, you don't use it all the time, but it's just sitting over there?
04:09Yeah, he's ketchup.
04:10Boy, it'd be a good time for Carlos Correa to come back, wouldn't it?
04:13Yeah, that'd be nice.
04:14Let him play third, Sato Parade, he's over there second?
04:17Yeah, see if we can get another update on him coming up soon.
04:21But the drive is live.
04:22A lot to get to here.
04:24All right, Clint, let me...
04:26I do want to mentally prepare you for this, Clint,
04:30just in case you are not aware of this.
04:34This coming out this morning around 8 o'clock
04:37from our guy Jonathan Alexander of the Chronicle,
04:40that the Texans aren't expected to play Thursdays,
04:43their starters on Thursdays,
04:45most of their starters on Thursdays preseason game
04:48versus the Chargers.
04:49I just want to make sure, Clint,
04:51that you have mentally prepared yourself for that.
04:55I know it is something that you're completely against,
04:57especially on the offensive side,
04:59but I just want to make sure when you hear...
05:01When I hear Jonathan report something like that,
05:04this is a guy who has covered this team for a while,
05:07I feel like it's not just a guess.
05:09I feel like he may have some intel.
05:12And we've heard that from other people like Aaron Wilson as well.
05:15But I just hope you're prepared
05:17that you're probably not going to see what you're hoping to see.
05:21I am very prepared.
05:23Look, Ron, I am very prepared, and here's why.
05:29This is an organization,
05:33or let's call it what it is.
05:34Hell, I mean, D'Amico Ryan's the head coach.
05:36He has literally come out and told us
05:39that at this time last year,
05:42they couldn't get out of the huddle,
05:44get to the line of scrimmage,
05:45without fighting the play clock.
05:50And what did they do last year?
05:53In that first preseason game?
05:56Struggled with all of that.
05:57Did they play them?
05:58They didn't play any of them.
05:59But yeah, they struggled with all of that into the season.
06:01But the first one, yeah, they played the Vikings.
06:03So you tell me, Ron,
06:04if you had an offensive unit,
06:06if you knew you had an all-world defense,
06:08and you had an offensive unit
06:09that was struggling with just breaking the huddle
06:12and getting to the line of scrimmage by the time,
06:13without pressing the play clock,
06:16would you say,
06:17no, we're going to treat y'all like
06:20Will Anderson and Derrick Stingley Jr.
06:22and Daniil Hunter.
06:22We don't need that work.
06:24We don't need that work on Wednesday
06:26because it's an off day.
06:27We don't need that work on the game day,
06:29and we don't need that work on the day after the game
06:31because it's an off day.
06:32Or it's a day after,
06:33let's say it's not a practice day.
06:37Does that make sense?
06:38To me, it don't.
06:40So you fast forward.
06:41I just want you to mentally prepare yourself
06:43for what you're about to run into.
06:44For an organization to literally,
06:47this ain't me,
06:48this is what they said,
06:49this is what they told us this year.
06:51Last year,
06:51you couldn't even break the huddle
06:52and get to the line of scrimmage
06:53before the play clock expired.
06:56And you chose to not play guys
06:59because of the risk associated
07:00with a preseason game.
07:02And so I fast forward a year,
07:04everybody's year two in this offense,
07:06and word on the street is
07:08everybody's better,
07:09everybody's communicating better,
07:10everybody's IDing better,
07:12and everything's getting better.
07:13Do I think that they're going to
07:14take that risk of playing guys
07:16in the first?
07:17Nope, I do not think
07:18they're going to do it.
07:19And I'm just not of the crowd
07:21that just goes,
07:23oh, well, nobody in the league's doing it,
07:24so it's not a big deal.
07:25No, I think it's a big deal.
07:26Once again,
07:27I think it's a mistake.
07:30And I think it's a missed opportunity
07:31to get reps in
07:33to get more time on task,
07:34if you will,
07:35with guys that desperately need it.
07:37So I think it's a mistake.
07:39But yeah, I'm prepared, Ron.
07:40I'm prepared.
07:40Yeah, I was going to say,
07:42that's all I want you to be.
07:43I know Tyler's prepared.
07:44I can see it in his eyes.
