It's delicious. All right, Ocho. Yeah. Check this out. Ah, man. What's popping off today? Goddamn Houston, man. Anthony.

My bad. I just... Yeah. My bad, my bad. My bad. I apologize. I don't get out of the house often. I don't get out of the house often. I don't get out of the house often. That's why.

We can't let you out. I know, I know. I'm just saying, like, I went out last night, right? I'm going to get this out before we start. I went out last night, and it's amazing, right? So I was using my peripheral vision. You get what I'm saying? And it's a beautiful city with beautiful people.

With beautiful people. Huh? Yeah, so I'm jealous. Anybody that actually lives here, man, congratulations. Because I almost moved to Houston. Why you ain't come? What the hell you mean why? You out your damn mind.

Hey, it's beautiful though. I need to focus on what I need to focus on. Okay, okay. Because I wasn't focused. You will be. We're going to get you back on the right track. All right, guys, check this out. What's popping off today is Anthony Edwards claimed that Michael Jordan was the only player in the older generation with some skill.

And said, I didn't watch it back in the day, so I can't speak on it. But they say it's tougher back then than it is now. But I don't think anybody had the skill back then. MJ was the only one that really had skill. So that's why they saw Kobe and they were like oh god but nowadays everybody has skill Magic Johnson did not take too kindly to what Ant-Man had to say I never respond to a guy who's never won a championship he didn't win one in college and I didn't I don't know if he won one in high school I know Magic a little better than you know Magic. Right, right. Magic and I go back about 30 years. To see him respond in this manner, and I think all you guys have known Magic, the smile, and he's always positive, but for him to take this stance, this really struck a nerve with him.

I mean, I understand. I can kind of see where Anthony Edwards is coming from. Maybe the thought of Jordan being an iconic figure that he is. Maybe he forgot how great Magic Johnson was. I think talking from a skill standpoint or skill perspective, we all know Magic Johnson was great. We know that. But to hear it from Anthony Edwards and forget about the greats that came before him and only singling out Michael Jordan, maybe because he is the most iconic figure that he was able to watch.

Yes. I think he knows Magic Johnson is skillful, but, ugh. I mean, why do the older generation, the older generation always take shots at the younger generation for not winning the championship or not having rings or not winning in the past? It's a team game. It is. And based on where he's playing in minnesota i think i'm not saying

they bad but it takes time yeah it's early in his career there's no need to take those kind of shots at him well especially coming from magic that's not even that ain't even his character i think look every era likes to protect their era nobody wants to to be forgotten. It was so much better, your grandparents, your parents say it was so much better in our day. I agree with Ant-Man. I believe there are more skilled, highly skilled players today, it's called evolution. You don't think we have better technology today than we did yesterday? Yeah. Of course. So how can the players not be better when they train better they train smarter they eat better it's called evolution things change so i don't understand look i i get magic's

point of view uh i i'm not so sure i would have taken that drastic of a step yeah i mean that's what we call killing a gnat with a sledgehammer i mean bro you could say uh i disagree with and yeah but to go to the, I don't listen to anybody that haven't won a championship. That's not fair. And he's only responding because he understands

how great Ant is. Because if anybody else in the NBA that's not top five, top ten player had said the same thing, Magic wouldn't have responded. I don't, but here's the thing. You have to understand about Ant-Man. Ant-Man doesn't have a filter.

Not at all. So he's going to say the first thing that comes up is coming out. Right. And so he's going to have to understand about ant-man ant-man ant-man doesn't have a filter not at all he's gonna say the first thing that comes up is coming out right and so he's gonna have to do a better job of being more pc no don't change him don't change him because that's what makes him special when he's in front of the mic obviously you know you know the animal you get on the court we understand that sure but we don't have too many players with that type of aura with that type of non-pc agenda when it comes to saying and speaking what they feel. That's what

we need more of. So you don't have a problem with either guy answering what he said and Magic's response to it? I don't. I like it. I like it. Because now all Ant has to do is go and respond. All Ant got to do is go and respond. You asking somebody that never stopped talking. You got to say

I like it. I think it's a good thing for the game of basketball. Because got to say it. I like it. I think it's a good thing. It's a good thing for the game of basketball. Because everybody else is PC. This N-word, like drama. The who? This N-word. Oh, you can say it, nigga.

No. We're going to have to bleep that out. Hopefully y'all had a time to take a picture with the Oscar Mayer bacon wings. I ain't see no, what else? All right, there, right there. See, you see the, what you call them things? Step and repeat? Yeah.

Yeah, you got the Oscar Mayer on there. As you can see, Oscar Mayer thick cut bacon is real hardwood smoke with real wood chips for true smoky flavor that isn't artificial. It's not overly fatty, super greasy. It's cooked for a staggering 12 hours while industry norm is 4 to 6. Go pick up some at a store near you. And now it's time for one of our favorite segments,

Muhammad Ali was never afraid to express himself loudly and boldly and stays true to form in Ali and Me, an eight-part Audible original. Guided by his own words, this series explores Ali's life and legacy through never-before-heard audio recordings and discussions with those who knew him best. Muhammad had this real sense of his own personal values and principles, things he believed in, his own sense of conviction. Those convictions never wavered. Hosted by Muhammad's wife, Lani Ali, and his close friend, award-winning broadcaster,

John Ramsey, Ali and Me goes beyond the boxing ring to delve deeply into Ali's extraordinary life through conversations with Billy Crystal, Mike Tyson, Rosie Perez, Common, Will Smith, and Bob Costas. It created a North Star for me of how I want to be in the world, you know. As a child, as a young person, he gave credence to my audacity. There's no debate that this is the greatest global sports figure of our lifetime. Listen to Ali and Me, now on Audible. All right, guys. Now it's time for our next guest.

He played for your organization. He was Defensive Rookie of the Year. He's a stalwart in the Houston area. He came back home to get his team to where it's never been before. That's the Super Bowl. Give it up for your head coach, Mr. D'Amico Rimes. I'm a star of this hall. Yeah. I'm a star of this hall.

So, hey, coachy, coachy, first off, you know, I've been out here, I've been lobbying for a job, and I'm available.

So, like, listen, I'm in shape if you need a set of extra legs. We need you. We can get a workout on Tuesday. You ready? Swear to God. Serious, don't do me like that, because I'm trying to get out the house. Hey, we got somebody that gets you the ball. There we go. That you do. Go ahead. I got a that gets you the ball. There we go. That's your Duke. Go ahead. I got a job, y'all. Coach, in your wildest imagination,

when you got drafted to this team at the first round draft pick and win Rookie of the Year, you have a stellar career. Did you ever imagine that you'd ever come back and be the head coach? Never. Never in my lifetime would I have imagined being the head coach of the Houston Tex texans the team that drafted me but it's that it was that surreal moment right it's uh i had other options other teams that were vying but it was like man to go back to houston where it all started where it all started like struggling a little bit like it meant more to come back home to Houston.

Yeah. I don't. Coach, obviously, you've been around the game of football for a very long time. For those that are on the outside looking in, I don't think they understand how special a season that was for you to have. Obviously, you understand the difficulty when you draft a rookie quarterback and understanding you have a program that is trying to build itself back to winning consistently and to be able to have a successful season obviously not winning a championship but still having a successful season knowing that you can build off of that do you understand how great your season was last year

yeah i do understand it all like it all starts with, like you said, the rookie quarterback. Everybody now, they expect rookies to come in and just ball out from the start. That doesn't happen. Right. Like, especially at the quarterback position, you got to have a special person to do that. And, you know, we were fortunate enough to get CJ at number two, and this kid is special. Yes. Definitely. Definitely.

You know, he's fun to work with but and he didn't start off that way like we didn't we started off with a rough season like we had to go through some growing pains and he learned a lot our team learned a lot of how we had to play to win games and that growing that growth process throughout the season that made it even more special to know we didn't just come out just beating people and i told our, you know, we talk about how special of a season it was. You look up, we had, I think it was 10 games that were in the last minute of the game. We were right in the game. And I think we won seven of those 10 in the last minute of the game.

So that just shows the margin for error in this league. It's still tight, even though it's a great season. But, man, I tell our guys, you have to work hard. You got to grind those wins, and you got to be smart in those situational moments to close games out. Coach, but you understand, you were a rookie head coach. You had a rookie quarterback. The expectations this year, given what happened last year, are a lot different than they were last year going in. You mentioned C.J. came in and played unbelievable.

Tank Dale, Nico Collins, you signed us. I mean, you traded for us. Stephon Diggs, your defense, Stingley Jr., Will Anderson Jr. What are your expectations from this team? Number one! I hear you. No, I still tell our guys our expectations is just to get better every day. Like, we can't get everybody to know when we suit up like you guys have.

Like, everybody wants to go win it all, right? That's always the goal. That's why we do what we do, right? We're trying to go get that Lombardi, but we don't get there overnight. So enjoy the process of just getting better every day. And when we look up in February and we're there playing for that Lombardi, that's what's going to make it really special. Being a head coach as well, there's something I always wanted to ask you.

There was an issue, obviously, with Brian Flores and Tua and the way he he talked to him obviously rubbed tour the wrong way and i just want to know how do you navigate being able to coach certain players certain ways and how do you approach it because you can some coach some players you can coach hard you know you understand those that are built like that you can coach them a little harder some of them you got to pat them on the back and guide them how have you been able to do that with your players? Yeah, man, that's a great question. I was just talking to one of my coaches about that earlier today.

Man, you have to have a relationship with guys. Like if you don't have a relationship with guys, then you don't know how that guy is going to respond, right? Some guys I could coach hard. Some guys I know like, ah, man, I can get it out of him, but I don't need to go as hard with him. I just got to tell him, hey man, you're doing a great job. Hey, keep it going, young fella. You, you, we going to get there. But if you don't establish that relationship outside of football, like you just got to sit down, you got to eat with guys. You got to meet with guys,

just talk to them one-on-one, like what's going on outside of football so you can really get to know that young man and what's going on in his life like that's how you are able to relate to guys and coach like now once you get that relationship I can coach him up hard right right right but everybody you can't coach hard everybody doesn't need hard coaching but as a coach it's our job right and that's one thing I learned about coaching I thought man when I finished playing I thought I was gonna hop in like hey Kyle I can come coach the linebackers right now right but I that's what I learned when I was at San Fran I truly learned like man you got every guy is different how do you teach every guy right every guy learns different every guy you got to explain things, and they pick it up different.

So for me, that's where I learned, man, you have to be adaptable as a coach, but you got to know these guys outside of football. Go ahead. Give it up. A lot of times, sometimes coaches try to hide hard coaching behind disrespect. It's like if I'm working for you, I want you to coach me hard. I want you to say what I'm doing wrong.

But there's a very, very fine line between hard coaching and disrespect. Now, you guys have to understand, that's a grown man you're talking to. This ain't college. He's not trying to get to the NFL. He's already here. He's not in high school trying to get to college.

So those guys, you can coach I mean, when we grew up coaches cussed us out. You do that now you're going to turn a guy off. A guy might want to fight you. He might want to fight you or he might just leave. It's a different era and I've never tried to

cross the lines of cursing guys out. I feel like if I have to curse you out, I got the wrong guy. Correct. First off, right? We don't have time for that. We're men. We're working together. And I tell our guys, my first meeting, I was like,

this is what you can expect from our coaches. Our coaches are going to be respectful. They're going to tell you the truth. And they're going to coach everybody in this room, right? Because they care. Your success is their success. So we have to find that common ground to work together for us all to be successful.

You played for Coach Saban. I don't know, your high school coach, you played for Coob. What are some of the things, what's D'Amico Ryan's coaching style? Did you take a little bit from Coach Saban? Because as hard as he is, he does a great job of patting the players on the back, even when they make mistakes. With my coaching style, man, I took a lot from a lot of different coaches that I was around.

I think, you know, it all starts from I spent the most time around Robert Sala. Okay. Right? And in that coaching profession, like, I just learned from him, like, man, you got to bring great energy every day, right? And you got to be able to relate to all these guys in the same room. How can you relate to them? Like, storytelling, like, whatever, keeping it light with jokes.

Like, it's a fine line, just coaching all the guys. Even Wade Phillips. Wade Phillips, man, he was your head coach. He would come into the meeting room. Wade would just tell a joke to everybody in the room. Then he'd talk to you. He always told a story about you. Like, hey, man, we had a guy on the scout team.

I told him, don't worry about covering him. He's better than the guys that are playing. So it was always Wade found a way in a playful way to get guys' attention, draw guys in. So I think you draw a man, you get their attention, you relate to the guys, right? Also with Saban, I know he's hard on guys, but the only way you can be hard on them is you got to love them too.

Right. Love them just as hard as your coach. Man, you have to. And guys got gotta know uh for me i had a a strength and conditioning coach he called me as soon as i got up into coaching he was like demico players do not care how much you know until you they know how much you care about them right and so that was the one thing that's always stuck to me. Like I tell our guy, man, I care about you as a as a man. First and foremost, this football, we're going to get to the football.

I'm going to correct you. I'm a coach. But man, I care about you as a man being successful at the football is over. Like I want you to be a great husband, great father, great leader in the community, because that's what's gonna last. Your approach to the game of football, obviously when you played, I'm not sure if you had any superstitions or not. As for myself, there was a certain routine that I stuck to. And to me, I felt this routine that I stuck to during my playing days would probably give me the success

that I wanted despite putting in the work throughout the week. Now that you're a coach and you play, obviously, do coaches have routines and superstitions once you get to that point as a leader of men, or you just allow the work that you put in during the week to take care of itself? Yeah. I think you fall into those kind of superstitions.

You kind of fall into them because it's like, oh man, we smoked them this week like hey we got whatever i did whatever i ate last week right whatever whatever i listened to on the way to the state like run it all back right but uh i don't believe in that that's the that's the reason why right i think you just get into a habit but i don't believe in the superstitions and you know but sometimes you get off it's routine right it's routine it's a routine a lot of coaches fall into whether it's working out before the game running stadiums or running hitting the treadmill right certain things for me my deal is I'm watching

film up until the last minute before I have to go out like I'm trying to find another advantage like I'm looking at third down again. I'm looking at two minutes. For as long as I can, they come, hey, coach, we got to go. It's like, I'm trying to get that edge up until the last minute. We're talking about the Rooney Rule.

There's a lot about that. And you had great success. Were you ever concerned because you see so many black coaches like go 10, 15 years before they even get an opportunity to go interview for a head coach. You didn't have to wait that long. You had about a two-year, maybe two-year.

Once you became the DC at San Francisco, your name immediately went into that pool. So you didn't have to wait long. How do you tell your brethren, fellow black coaches, like just to be patient when some of them have been patient for 10 15 years yeah no that's uh you know i think for for me being in the position i am man i'm standing on the shoulders of guys who paved the way before me right a lot of a lot of coaches who grinded and they didn't get that opportunity i know one one coach in particular, you know, Coach Bobby Turner. Yep.

Coach Turner, that was my role model. I was there in San Fran. That's the guy I looked up to, the OG. He's been coaching for over 30 years and he never got that opportunity. I know he deserved the opportunity. So I always tell Coach Turner,

man, I love you. I thank you for you providing me this opportunity to become a head coach. And when I became a head coach, I'm like, man, I got to do this for you, Coach T. I got to be successful for you. And it's the same thing I tell all other guys. I'm like, man, I'm representing a lot of guys, right, who are still trying to get that opportunity, a lot of guys who are coming after me

to get that opportunity. And I just, I want to represent the right way. That's a good thing about it. The fact that we get so few opportunities to be a leader of black men, be in a position of power, does it add any more pressure to you as a head coach? Or do you just don't even think about it

and just do what you need to do? It doesn't add pressure to me because I know at the end of the day, it's about doing the job the right way. Yes, sir. Right? It's surrounding myself with the right people, right coaching staff, the right players.

Like, it's not just about me. It's about my entire support staff, everybody in that building, helping me to be successful, right? I can't do it by myself. So it doesn't add any pressure to me. It's just I know the task at pressure to me it's just I know I know the task at hand and it's just about us going out dominating the process every day being as as good as we can be every single day getting a little bit better and we're gonna the wins the

results all that stuff will show up when we work the right way yeah D'Amico when you were here you were active in the community how important is it for you to have your players be involved in the community in which they play yeah it's huge man I mean we we're in a great city here in Houston right and it's a great city it's uh for our guys always telling man for the NFL like it's a blessing it's a dream come true to play in the NFL absolutely and it affords you a lot monetarily, but it also provides you a certain platform, right? Where instantly you get respect as soon as you step into a room. Instantly when CJ Shryle, Will Anderson,

stands in front of some kids, like, their eyes are wide open. Like, they got their attention. And now what's your message to those kids, right? And so our guys have a huge responsibility to the community to utilize the platform they're given because I always feel like, man, you've blessed. We've all been blessed to reach back and bless other people, right? And that's what it's all about in this NFL. That's what's going to last.

That's what's going to sustain you, right? And I used to do a football camp in Alabama, football and cheer camp. And you never know how things come back. And I'm in my office and I'm saying, friend, one day this kid popped in. He's like, coach, you, it's Brian Robinson from University of Alabama. He's like, coach, man, I was at your camps. I was like, what? Like, wow, now little kid at a camp running around.

I never knew Brian, you know, but to see the effect that just the exposure it had to him, like, hey, man, you can make it to the NFL as well, and it's cool to see him doing his thing now in Washington. Nah, I'm good at everything. Here he is, ladies and gentlemen, D'Amico Ryan, head coach of the Houston Texans. Wow.

Thank you, thank you brother. Happy birthday to you, brother. I see you Tuesday. Bro, y'all got a very special coach. That's a very, you know, obviously I know, damn. Boy, I just want you to know, they done needed two ambulances. One for you because you was hurt. The other for me because I was going to break my side laughing.

Nah, I ain't changed. I ain't changed. I ain't changed nothing but my drawing. You know what, Dre? Dre. You spent, I think, well, all but one year of your NFL career here in Houston. What does it mean to you to get drafted by this franchise and be considered when they think of the short list of the greatest players to ever play in the Houston Texans uniform? Your name is the first name to get brought up.

Man, I always tell the story about when I went to my first Pro Bowl. The guy, there was some guy he worked with in the NFL and he was like, who the hell is here from Houston, Texas? And that's something that always stuck with me. And I put that chip on my shoulder and I was like, shit, I'm gonna make people respect us, you know? And that was the way I played, that was just the way I carried myself and to have this Hall of Fame thing happen,

it wasn't just for me, man. It was about this whole city. The actual first player in the Houston Texans to go into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. What did that, when you got the call and it says, they knock on the door, Andre Johnson, welcome to football heaven. You've been selected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. I mean, Shannon, you've had that knock, you know, so I don to take a moment to literally go sit on my couch, you know,

and I had my hands in my head, and I just, you know, to be, it's been over 30,000 guys that play this game. There's only 378 people in the Hall of Fame. That's not even 1%. That's correct. To be mentioned with that, man, that's special. It's special.

Listen, obviously being from Miami, growing up together, did you ever think that the story that we are in control of, being able to write, would have gotten to where it's gotten now?

You know, I always told people, like, playing a game of football, like, I was never afraid to be knocked out. Like, that never scared me. So as long as you did it in between the whistles, I didn't care. Right. Anything that came afterwards, that's when I had a problem. You're very business savvy. Very business savvy. So we got all our people here in Houston.

I never thought... You know, being from Miami, growing up in Miami, man, this is a hell of a city. I never thought, you know, being from Miami,

growing up in Miami, man, I never thought I would leave. And to be here, my mom's moved here, my brother's moved here, man. Like, Houston's home for me now, so I ain't going nowhere. Oh! Well, shit, I'm coming too. Real say Real say she like Miami

You just had Real move to Miami She uprooted her roots up in Tampa Well I'm finna move to Houston Well you and Real Moving to Houston When you look at today's proper wide receivers, obviously, you know, you got Tyreek,

and you got Seedy, and you got Jefferson, and you got Chase, you got Diggs, you got Mike Evans. Does anybody currently play in the wide receiver position remind you of Drake? I would say A.J. Brown. Yeah. A.J. Brown. Yeah. A.J. Brown, D.K. Metcalf.

Big guys, tremendous runner, catch the ball in the crowd. Big guys that can really run. I'm a big Jamar Chase fan also. Yeah. So I would say those two guys in particular. Of the current crop of quarterbacks, who would you like? You get Mahomes.

You could take any quarterback that's currently playing. Yeah. And I'm going to say, Dre, you get to have this guy for a decade. I can answer that question right now. There's only two. C.J. Stroud and Patrick Mahomes. Boy, you picked two good ones. Are you surprised at how well, knowing this game,

this is not an easy game to play, especially for that position. Are you even surprised at how well he played in his rookie season? Not at all. So whenever they, I always meet the guys the day after the draft when they come in before they do their press conference. So I don't know, man, like something about CJ was just different than any other guy I met. He was super mature. The guy barely even goes out, you know, tremendous in his faith, great leader. He's always gained a team respect.

You know how hard it is as a rookie to gain a team respect. We played this game. So, man, what he has done has been truly amazing. So I'm looking forward to this upcoming season. I done ran out of questions. Hold on, I got one. Where we going tonight?

We're going to talk about that later, because Real want to kill me. Man, we ain't worried about that, man. We out there. We in these streets. We in these streets. You were an outstanding sprinter. 60 meter Big East champ, finished run up in these streets. We're in these streets. You were an outstanding sprinter. 60-meter Big East champ, finished running up in 100 meters. You hear Tyreek talk about, I won't know a lot. Listen, man, I've had a chance to run against some guys that have ran in the Olympics.

And, bro, that's a different level of sprint. That's being hit different. That's a different type of fast. So I don't know if Tyreek really want that problem. I think, you know what, that's why I say, when I would think about it, right, Tyreek get out right away. I think that's why he said, I want to, if I'm a racing,

I don't want to do it in 100. Let me do it in the 50 or 60. Because I think if you get out right away I think that's why he said I want to If I'm a racing I don't want to do it in 100 Let me do it in the 50 or 60 Because I think if you get out fast enough And hold it And maintain it Because he didn't have the endurance To go past that I'm thinking

It'd be close Yeah if they do 40 to 50 yards That's different See that's That's what I meant I was trying to explain that to him Because you got to think like Once you hit that

Because I ran 100 Once you hit that, because I ran 100. Once you hit that 50, like that 40 to 50 meter mark, man, they open up. Yeah. And you got to, yeah, you got to come up with it. But what I was explaining to Ocho is that you can't challenge a man in this. There's no, but this is what I want us to do. You're like, okay, I'm going a challenge you to an arm wrestling competition. But we're going to do backflips.
