THE RIM.
IN HONOR OF THE KENTUCKY DERBY,
WE HAVE LITTLE HATS FROM LAST
WEEK’S SEGMENT.
>> Courtney: WE’VE NEVER HAD
OUR DERBY HATS.
THIS IS A REDO BECAUSE TYPICALLY
THE KENTUCKY DERBY IS THE FIRST
SATURDAY IN MAY.
>> Derrick: SOMETHING LIKE
THAT.
>> Courtney: SO IT WAS DURING
COVID SO WE’RE EXCITED TO HAVE
THE DERBY HERE ON KPRC.
YOU LOVE TO HAVE A GOOD TIME.
>> Derrick: ABSOLUTELY.
ABSOLUTELY.
>> Courtney: I’VE GOT A LITTLE
CHALLENGE FOR YOU.
BUT YOU HAVE TO DO A COSTUME
CHANGE A LITTLE BIT.
OR IN ADDITION, NOT NECESSARILY
A CHANGE.
DO YOU WANT TO STEP OUT?
>> Derrick: WHERE DO I GO?
>> Courtney: IT’S BACKSTAGE.
WE’VE GOT A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR
YOU.
YOU MIGHT WANT TO TAKE ANOTHER
SWIG OR TAKE THE DRINK WITH YOU.

SEGMENT WILL HELP YOU GET READY.
PLUS WE’RE GOING TO MEET WITH
AMERICA’S CEO, THIS IS OF COURSE
CHIEF ENTERTAINING OFFICER, TIM
LAIRD.
WE LOVE WHEN HE’S ON THE SHOW.
HE ALWAYS HAS REALLY, REALLY
GREAT IDEAS.
PLUS, WE’RE GOING TO MEET A
LOCAL WOMAN HEADED TO THE TOKYO
OLYMPICS IN 2021 TO COMPETE IN
TAE KWON DO.
WE’RE GOING TO LEARN MORE ABOUT
HER INCREDIBLE JOURNEY TO THE
OLYMPICS INCLUDING HOW SHE
BOUNCED BACK AFTER HAVING SIX
KNEE SURGERIES.
SO I FEEL LIKE THAT IS SO
AMAZING.
I CANNOT WAIT TO HEAR HER STORY.
OKAY.
SO WE COVERED THAT, DERRICK.
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
CAN YOU MEET ME BACK HERE?
WHAT’S UP?
>> Derrick: YEAH...
>> Courtney: DO YOU NEED HELP?
>> Derrick: I THINK I HAVE
THIS ON IN THE CORRECT WAY.
>> Courtney: DID YOU TURN THE
FAN ON?
I LOVE THE KENTUCKY DERBY.
IT’S ON MY BUCKET LIST ONE YEAR
TO GO.
THIS YEAR YOU CANNOT SEE IT.
BEST PLACE WILL BE IN YOUR
HOUSE.
DO YOU NEED HELP?
>> Derrick: I THINK I’M OKAY.
NOW I GET IT BECAUSE YOU CAN’T
REALLY HAVE A PROPER KENTUCKY
DERBY CELEBRATION WITHOUT A FEW
COCKTAILS.
BUT YOU ALSO IN ORDER TO HAVE A
DERBY, YOU NEED TO HAVE A
HORSES.
>> Courtney: YOU GOT TO HAVE A
HORSE.
COME ON OUT, BABY.
GALLOP.
>> Derrick: THIS LITTLE GUY IS
TIRED.
>> Courtney: WHAT’S YOUR
HORSE’S NAME?
>> Derrick: IT’S COURTNEY.
>> Courtney: YOU’RE TERRIBLE!
YOU HAVE TO HAVE A BETTER HORSE
NAME.
MARTY JONES WAS ONE.
WE NEED A GOOD HORSE NAME.
LONG IN THE TOOTH.
I DON’T KNOW.
>> Derrick: THIS IS PERFECT.
DO I HAVE TO WEAR THIS THE WHOLE
SNOW.
>> Courtney: DON’T SIT.
PART TWO OF YOUR CHALLENGE, WE
WANT YOU TO GO AROUND THE
STATION AND ANNOUNCE HOW EXCITED
YOU ARE ABOUT THE KENTUCKY
DERBY.
SO RAYMOND IS STANDING BY
ANOTHER CAMERA.
>> Derrick: THAT’S WHY YOU
HAVE THIS MASK HERE.
>> Courtney: PUT YOUR MASK ON.
I’M GOING TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT
OF INSTRUCTION WHEN YOU FIND
SOMEBODY OUT IN THE LOBBY.
>> Derrick: WHERE SHOULD I GO?
TO THE LOBBY?
>> Courtney: LONG IN THE
TOOTH, IT’S TIME TO GO.
SADDLE UP.
>> Derrick: THE REST OF THE
PEOPLE IN THE BUILDING ALREADY
HATE US.
>> Courtney: I FEEL LIKE WE
NEED SOME KENTUCKY DERBY MUSIC.
>> Derrick: THIS IS GOOD.
I THINK MY LITTLE HORSE LIKES TO
DANCE.
>> Courtney: ENTERTAIN US.
NOW WHEN YOU GET TO THE LOBBY,
I’M GOING TO HAVE YOU STOP,
OKAY?
>> Derrick: SAY HI TO OUR
CONTROL ROOM IN THERE.
HEY, GUYS.
NO ONE IS IN THERE.
THEY’RE ALL SLEEPING.
>> Courtney: COME ON, GALLOP A
LITTLE FASTER.
THERE’S NO ONE AROUND.
>> Derrick: USUALLY THEY WOULD
ALL BE BACK HERE GETTING READY
TO GONE ON ASSIGNMENT.
>> Courtney: YOUR TAIL IS
BEAUTIFUL.
>> Derrick: I DIDN’T REALIZE I
HAD ONE.
>> Courtney: OKAY.
ANYBODY IN THE LOBBY?
>> Derrick: OH, NO.
YES, WE DO HAVE SOME PEOPLE.
>> Courtney: STOP.
I NEED YOU TO SAY, DID YOU HEAR
ABOUT THE HORSE WITH THE
NEGATIVE ATTITUDE?
>> Derrick: HEY, DOMINIQUE,
DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE HORSE
WITH THE NEGATIVE ATTITUDE?
>> SAY WHAT?
>> Derrick: DID YOU HEAR ABOUT
THE HORSE WITH THE NEGATIVE
ATTITUDE.
>> Courtney: HE ALWAYS SAID
NEIGH!
>> Derrick: HE ALWAYS SAID
NEIGH!
[ Laughter ]
GOOD TO SEE YOU.
KEEP GOING THIS WAY INTO THE
NEWSROOM?
>> Courtney: YES, YES.
YOUR NEXT LINE IS, JUST START
YELLING HOW MUCH MONEY DID THE
BRONCO HAVE?
>> Derrick: SAY IT AGAIN.
>> Courtney: HOW MUCH MONEY
DID THE BRONCO HAVE?
>> Derrick: HEY, MIKE, HOW
MUCH MONEY DID THE BRONCO HAVE?
>> Courtney: ONLY A BUCK.
>> Derrick: ONLY A BUCK.
I’M HERE ALL DAY, FOLKS.
>> Courtney: JUST START
SCREAMING.
WHAT CAUSES HORSES THE SNEEZE
THE MOST?
HAY FEVER.
>> Derrick: OH, CHRISTINA GAVE
ME A COURTESY LAUGH.
>> Courtney: NOW GALLOP YOUR
BEST GALLOP YOU’VE EVER HAD IN
YOUR ENTIRE LIFE.
FORWARD, BACKWARDS.
BACKWARDS.
MOONWALK.
GIVE THEM A GOOD NEIGH.
>> Derrick: HAVE A GREAT DAY
AT WORK, EVERYONE.
HAY!
IS THAT THE END OF MY CHALLENGE?
>> Courtney: THAT’S IT.
YOU HAVE COME IN FIRST IN OUR
FIRST KENTUCKY DERBY.
>> Derrick: DOMINIQUE HAS ONE
FOR US.
>> WHAT DID THE COW SAY TO THE
HORSE?
>> Derrick: I DON’T KNOW.
>> WHY SUCH A LONG FACE.
>> Derrick: GOOD ONE.
>> Courtney: I LOVE HOW NO ONE
IS MAKING EYE CONTACT WITH YOU.
JUST DOMINIQUE.
>> Derrick: PEOPLE ARE
PRETENDING THEY DON’T KNOW ME.
HERE’S FRANK BILLINGSLEY COMING
DOWN THE STAIRS.
>> Courtney: OH, WE LOST YOUR
SIGNAL.
OH, YOU’RE BACK.
NOPE, IT’S GONE NOW.
NOW IT’S BACK.
>> Derrick: OH, NO.
[ Laughter ]
IF ONLY WE WORKED IN A
TELEVISION STATION AND WE COULD
FIGURE OUT THE SIGNAL.
>> Courtney: SEE IF FRANK
KNOWS.
>> Derrick: WE HAVE A QUESTION
FOR YOU.
>> Courtney: DID YOU HEAR
ABOUT THE HORSE WITH THE
ABOUT THE HORSE WITH THE
NEGATIVE ATTITUDE?
>> Derrick: DID YOU HEAR ABOUT
THE HORSE WITH THE NEGATIVE
ATTITUDE?
>> NO, TELL ME ABOUT THE HORSE
WITH THE NEGATIVE ATTITUDE.
>> Derrick: HE ALWAYS SAID
NEIGH!
>> OH, GOD.
A HORSE IS A HORSE.
>> Derrick: YOU ALL CAN GO
BACK TO PRETENDING YOU DON’T
KNOW ME.
>> Courtney: GUESS WHAT, WE
LOST YOUR SIGNAL AGAIN.
>> Derrick: WE HAVE TO GET ON
THAT SIGNAL ISSUE.
>> Courtney: NOW WE’RE LOOKING
AT YOUR TAIL AGAIN.
SHAKE IT.
>> Derrick: DO I GET TO GO
BACK TO THE STUDIO?
>> Courtney: PLEASE HURRY.
I DRANK YOUR DRINK.
HOPE YOU DON’T MIND.
>> Derrick: I SWEAR OUR
COWORKERS HATE US.
SO CUTE.
DID I WIN THE CHALLENGE?
>> Courtney: I MEAN, YES, YOU
WON.
YOU WON A COCKTAIL.
>> Derrick: GOOD BOY.
>> Courtney: I KNOW YOU LOVE
DAD JOKES.
>> Derrick: WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?
>> Courtney: THOSE WERE GOOD,
RIGHT?
>> Derrick: GOOD JOB.
>> Courtney: YOU’RE WELCOME.
>> Derrick: NOW I HAVE HAVE TO
FIGURE OUT WHERE TO PUT MY
HORSE.
>> Courtney: RIGHT THERE.
PARK HIM.
>> Derrick: HORSES DON’T
BELONG ON OUR LAPS.
>> Courtney: THIS ONE DOES.
>> Derrick: OKAY, THEN.
THE NEWEST ADDITION TO THE
"HOUSTON LIFE" FAMILY.
THAT REALLY HELPED ME WORK UP A
SWEAT THERE.
>> Courtney: THAT’S TEN
MINUTES OF OUR LIVES WE’RE NEVER
GETTING BACK.
>> Derrick: DOMINIQUE, THANK
YOU FOR PLAYING ALONG.
YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU.
AND FRANK.
THE REST OF THEM WERE LIKE...
WHO IS THIS GUY.
>> Courtney: EVERYONE WAS
AVOIDING EYE CONTACT, WHICH I
LOVE THAT.
NEVER HAPPENS.
KRIS GUTIERREZ WAS LOOKING AT
NAPKINS.
>> Derrick: PRETENDING TO NOT
KNOW US.
DOES THERE’S A GUY
THERE’S A GUY NAMED MIKE LOPEZ
THERE’S A GUY NAMED MIKE LOPEZ
WHO WORKS IN THE NEWSROOM AND HE
WAS LIKE, ARE YOU DRUNK ALREADY.
IT’S 3:10 P.M.
OF COURSE NOT.
WE ARE JUST THAT MUCH FUN.
>> Courtney: OH, LORD.
ARE YOU OKAY?
>> Derrick: I’M REALLY
SWEATING NOW.
OKAY.
WELL, WHAT ELSE YOU GOT?
I’M ACTUALLY REALLY ENJOYING
THIS NOW.
CAN WE CONTINUE?
>> Courtney: YOU WANT TO GO
BACK OUT THERE?
>> Derrick: PHONE A FRIEND,
SURPRISE THEM.
>> Courtney: I THINK YOU
SHOULD TAKE IT HOME.
WE NEED A BETTER NAME FOR THE
HORSE.
WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER
PREPARED FOR WHEN YOU TOOK THE
LINE.
COULD HAVE ANNOUNCED YOU
PROPERLY.
>> Derrick: TOOTHY BECAUSE HE
DOESN’T HAVE ANY TEETH.
>> Courtney: THAT’S KIND OF
BORING.
>> Derrick: TOOTHY THE HORSE.
I THINK IT’S SWEAT.
>> Courtney: VIEWERS CAN COME
UP WITH A NAME FOR THE HORSE.
LET US KNOW.
I LIKED IT.
>> Derrick: WHAT ELSE IS GOING
ON?
SINCE YOU’RE IN THE DRIVER’S
SEAT.
TAKE ME THROUGH.
>> Courtney: TAKE A LITTLE
SIPPY OF YOUR COCKTAIL.
>> Derrick: THANK YOU
WEIGHTS & MEASURES FOR THIS.
>> Courtney: THIS IS KIND OF
AN INTERESTING TOPIC.
DO YOU FEEL LIKE IN THE AGE OF
CORONAVIRUS NOW SO MANY PEOPLE
ARE SAYING THEY’RE SLOWING LIFE
DOWN AND THEY’RE KIND OF
DECOMPRESSING, DO YOU FEEL LIKE
IT’S MADE YOU A BETTER PERSON?
>> Derrick: THAT’S A VERY GOOD
QUESTION.
I THINK IT’S PERHAPS MADE ME
MORE INTROSPECTIVE.
WE’RE CONSTANTLY IN OUR HOUSE,
NOT JUST IN OUR HOUSE BUT WITH
MY FAMILY AND THE PEOPLE IN MY
INNER CIRCLE WERE CONSTANTLY
TALKING ABOUT THE THINGS THAT
REALLY MATTER IN LIFE, EACH
OTHER, THE RELATIONSHIPS AND
YEAH, I THINK THAT IT’S
DEFINITELY CHANGED MY
PERSPECTIVE ON A FEW THINGS.
>> Courtney: I MEAN, I LIKE
THE FACT THAT WE’RE KIND OF
SLOWING DOWN, WE’RE NOT GOING
FROM POINT A. TO POINT B.,
RUSHING TO THE NEXT THING.
BUT I ALSO FEEL LIKE I’M A
LITTLE BIT MORE IN TUNE WITH
THINGS THAT BUG ME.
DOES THAT SOUND BAD?
[ Laughter ]
>> Derrick:E WITH -- WE ARE
LIKE THE SAME PERSON.
THAT TOO.
BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN FOCUSING ON
THE THINGS THAT MATTER TO US,
THE THINGS THAT BUG US, IT’S
SORT OF LIKE OH, MY GOSH, AIN’T
NOBODY THAT GOT TIME FOR THAT OR
PEOPLE THAT DO THIS, DON’T HAVE
ROOM IN MY LIFE.
>> Courtney: I CAME TO THIS
REALIZATION.
MY BIRTHDAY WAS EARLY IN
AUGUST,.
>> Derrick: AUGUST 9th.
>> Courtney: I GOT A GIFT FROM
SOMEONE THAT I DON’T KNOW WHO
SENT IT TO ME.
IT WAS SENT TO MY HOUSE, AND I’M
JUST GOING TO TELL YOU WHAT IT
IS BECAUSE IT’S SUPER CUTE AND
IT’S A T-SHIRT THAT SAYS DOG MOM
ON IT.
IT’S KIND OF FUNNY BECAUSE I WAS
THE ONE THAT DIDN’T WANT THE DOG
AND NOW OSCAR AND I ARE LIKE
BESTIES.
>> Derrick: DO YOU REMEMBER
THAT TIME YOU TEXTED YOUR FRIEND
AND TEXTED HER DOG FACE BECAUSE
IT WAS AN AUTOCORRECT FAIL.
THAT’S WHERE MY MIND WENT.
DOG FACE.
>> Courtney: SOMEONE SENT ME A
DOG MOM SHIRT AND THERE WAS
NOTHING ON THE LABEL.
IT WASN’T WRAPPED BUT IT WAS
SENT TO ME AND I DON’T KNOW WHO
SENT IT.
YOU KNOW ME, I LOVE A GOOD THANK
YOU CARD, I DO.
SO I CANNOT SEND THIS PERSON A
THANK-YOU, I CAN’T ACKNOWLEDGE
THE GIFT BECAUSE I DON’T KNOW
WHERE IT CAME FROM.
>> Derrick: THAT’S
FRUSTRATING.
WE RECENTLY GOT A LETTER FROM A
WOMAN WHO WAS SO NICE AND
TALKING ABOUT THE SHOW AND WE
DIDN’T GET A RETURN ADDRESS.
AND SHE THANKED MY MOM FOR
NAMING ME DERRICK AND WE LIVE ON
THE COAST, OIL DERRICK, AND I
WANTED TO WRITE HER A NICE NOTE
BACK BUT NO.
I SHARE YOUR FRUSTRATION.
>> Courtney: SO THAT KIND OF
BUGS ME.
WHEN YOU GIVE SOMEBODY OUR TAKE
TIME OUT OF YOUR DAY OR MAYBE
JUST SEND SOMEBODY SOMETHING OR
THEY DON’T ACKNOWLEDGE THE GIFT,
I THINK I DON’T KNOW, IS THAT
BAD?
>> Derrick: IF SOMEONE DOESN’T
ACKNOWLEDGE A GIFT, OH, YEAH.
I THINK THAT’S TOTALLY RUDE.
>> Courtney: I THINK IT’S
TOTALLY RUDE.
>> Derrick: BUT IF SOMEONE
DOESN’T ALLOW YOU THE
OPPORTUNITY TO ACKNOWLEDGE A
GIFT, I DON’T THINK THAT’S
REALLY RUDE.
MAYBE THEY WANT TO BE ANONYMOUS.
MAYBE IT WAS ME.
>> Courtney: MAYBE IT WAS YOU.
>> Derrick: DOG MOM.
>> Courtney: IT GOT ME
THINKING OF THE TIMES WHEN YOU
SEND SOMEBODY SOMETHING AND THEY
DON’T ACKNOWLEDGE IT.
NOT A THANK-YOU, NOT A TEXT,
NOTHING.
>> Derrick: I CAN THINK OF
MANY, MANY INSTANCES.
THERE WAS SOMEONE WHO WANTED ME
TO DONATE TO A NONPROFIT
ORGANIZATION AND I WROTE A CHECK
THAT I THOUGHT WAS LIKE QUITE A
GENEROUS DONATION AND THEN THE
CHECK ACTUALLY WAS NOT CASHED.
AND SO, LIKE, TWO MONTHS LATER,
I REACHED OUT AND I SAID HEY,
DID YOU RECEIVE THIS DONATION
THAT I MADE, OH, YEAH, YEAH, I
HAVEN’T HAD A CHANCE TO DEPOSIT
IT YET.
>> Courtney: UM, NO.
>> Derrick: NO THANK YOU.
NO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING
THAT OR I REALLY APPRECIATE IT,
MY STUDENTS ARE APPRECIATIVE YOU
ARE SUPPORTING THIS CAUSE,
WHATEVER.
NOTHING.
I THOUGHT WOW, NOT ONLY AM I NOT
DONATING AGAIN BUT I DON’T HAVE
ROOM FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT
COURTEOUS.
IT’S RUDE.
WHATEVER.
I SHOULDN’T GO ON.
>> Courtney: TELL ME.
>> Derrick: I HEARD FROM THIS
PERSON AGAIN WHEN HE NEEDED ME
TO HELP PROMOTE A BUSINESS.
NOT HAPPENING.
IT’S INTERESTING TOO, I MEAN, I
THINK THE OLDER YOU GET, THE
MORE YOU KIND OF HAVE TO WEED
OUT PEOPLE, BUT THERE ARE A
NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN MY LIFE.
>> Courtney: SOMETIMES YOU
CAN’T WEED OUT PEOPLE.
SOMETIMES THEY’RE RIGHT THERE.
>> Derrick: SOME PEOPLE ONLY
CONTACT YOU WHEN THEY NEED
SOMETHING OR WHEN THEY WANT
SOMETHING AND IT JUST GETS OLD.
LET’S CHANGE THE SUBJECT.
BACK TO MY CUTE HORSE.
I THINK OUR VIEWER PAUL HAS
WRITTEN IN, NAME THE HORSE
LIGHTNING.
PAUL, I LOVE THAT SUGGESTION.
MAYBE HE’LL JUST HAVE TO RUN A
LITTLE FASTER TO EARN THAT NAME.
BUT THANK YOU FOR THE
SUGGESTION.
WE LOVE IT.
>> Courtney: DRINK UP.
>> Derrick: NEIGH!
HAY!
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE FOR
LUNCH TODAY?
HAY!
>> Courtney: AFTER THE BREAK,
NEED TO GET OUT OF THE HORSE?
WE’VE GOT GREAT IDEAS FOR
SOCIALLY DISTANCED FUN AROUND
TOWN.
WE’LL BE RIGHT BACK.
[ ♪ ]
>> Courtney: WELCOME BACK.
>> Courtney: WELCOME BACK.
IF YOU ARE SICK OF THOSE ZOOM
CALLS AND BEING A LITTLE STIR
CRAZY, CLEARLY YOU’RE NOT ALONE.
MANY ARE LOOKING FOR FUN SAFE
WAYS TO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE AND
SOCIALIZE.
>> Derrick: LET’S ROAM CEO IS
HERE TO SHARE SOME SOCIALLY
DISTANT ACTIVITIES YOU CAN ENJOY
ON A DATE NIGHT OR WITH YOUR
WHOLE FAMILY RIGHT HERE IN
HOUSTON.
WELCOME TO THE SHOW.
CHARLIE, HOW ARE YOU DOING?
>> HEY, EVERYONE.
>> Derrick: IT’S SO GREAT YOU
COMPILED THIS LIST BECAUSE YOU
HAVE DONE THE WORK FOR OUR
VIEWERS IN ADVANCE.
ONE OF THE TOP THINGS ON YOUR
LIST, SAWYER YARDS.
THIS IS SOMETHING COURTNEY HAS
ALREADY DONE WITH HER FAMILY.
>> IT’S SUCH AN AWESOME
EXPERIENCE TO BE ABLE TO DO
THESE TYPE OF THINGS.
OUR TEAM WORKING TO FIND THESE
TYPE OF DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES IS
REALLY AMAZING TO BE ABLE TO
FIND THESE LITTLE THINGS.
BUT THE SAWYER MOVIE IS PRETTY
AWESOME.
IT’S ONE OF THOSE GREAT THINGS
IN THE MIDDLE OF HOUSTON WHERE I
JUST CAN’T BELIEVE THEY HAVE
SUCH A LARGE SCREEN SET UP TO DO
IT.
>> Derrick: WHEN YOU SAY
LARGE, YOU’RE NOT KIDDING.
A HUNDRED FEET.
AND WHAT’S SO COOL, NOT ONLY IS
THIS TOTALLY UNUSUAL NEW
EXPERIENCE FOR MOST PEOPLE,
WATCHING A MOVIE ON THE SIDE OF
THE SILOS BUT CHECK OUT THE VIEW
OF DOWNTOWN HOUSTON.
CAN’T BE BEAT.
>> I THINK IT’S REALLY IMPORTANT
>> I THINK IT’S REALLY IMPORTANT
TO DO THINGS THAT ARE OUTSIDE
AND DO SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT
DIFFERENT, SOMETHING NEW.
GETTING OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE
A LITTLE BIT.
I THINK IT’S REALLY IMPORTANT.
SO WHETHER YOU ARE DOING A MOVIE
WITH A HUNDRED-FOOT SCREEN OR
SOMETHING SIMPLE WITH YOU AND
THE KIDS, I THINK IT’S REALLY
IMPORTANT.
WHEN WE SET UP OUR ACTIVITIES,
THE SCAVENGER HUNTS TAKE YOU ALL
OVER HOUSTON, IT SHOWS YOU ALL
THESE LITTLE THINGS AND ONE OF
MY FAVORITE THINGS ESPECIALLY
SINCE IT’S SO HOT OUT THERE
SINCE IT’S SO HOT OUT THERE
RIGHT NOW IS TO MAKE A BIG BATCH
OF LEMONADE AND THERE’S TONS OF
GREAT STATE FAIR LEMONADE.
SINCE WE’RE ALL INSIDE RIGHT
NOW, WE CAN RECREATE IT AT HOME.
THEY ACTUALLY HAVE THE RECIPES
LISTED AND THEN YOU GO OUT ON AN
ADVENTURE LIKE A SCAVENGER HUNT
OR TAKE A PICNIC AND SEE SOME
GREAT LOCAL BUSINESSES, YOU GO
AROUND TOWN AND SEE SOME OF
THESE GREAT SIGHTS TOO.
>> Courtney: WHAT’S GREAT
ABOUT THE PICNICS WHEN YOU’RE
DOING THAT, THERE’S SO MANY
GREAT IDEAS EVEN IF YOU WANT TO
PARK YOUR OWN -- PACK YOUR OWN,
GRAZEABLES IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE
TO ORDER.
THE CHARCUTERIE BOXES ALREADY
DONE FOR YOU.
>> THE STACKED COOKIES AND THE
PICNIC BOX LUNCHES TOO.
WHAT’S COOL IS BEING OUTSIDE
ACTUALLY LOWERS THE RISK OF
SPREADING GERMS.
SO IF YOU ARE GOING TO DO
SOMETHING, TRY TO DO IT OUTSIDE
ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE TRYING TO
BE SOCIALLY DISTANCED WITH OTHER
PEOPLE OUTSIDE YOUR HOUSE TOO.
>> Derrick: THE THINGS YOU
HAVE ON THE LIST HERE ARE JUST
SO GREAT.
THE GERALD HINES WATERWALL PARK.
THAT’S AN INCREDIBLE SPOT.
HERMANN PARK, THE MENIL LAWN.
THERE’S SO MANY BEAUTIFUL SPOTS
TO SIT DOWN AND HAVE A PICNIC.
YOU MENTIONED THIS SCAVENGER
HUNT IDEA.
WE’RE JUST ABOUT ABOUT OF TIME
BUT THIS IS SOMETHING GREAT FOR
ALL AGES.
>> OH, YEAH.
IT’S TOTALLY FUN, WHETHER YOU
ARE GOING WITH YOUR FAMILY OR A
DATE, THERE’S A DIFFERENT
SCAVENGER HUNT FOR YOU ALL OVER
HOUSTON.
JUST SEARCH AND GOOGLE SCAVENGER
HUNT HOUSTON.
YOU CAN FIND IT NEAR YOU.
IT TAKES YOU ALL OVER TOWN AND
YOU ARE COMPETING FOR CHALLENGES
AND POINTS TO SEE IF YOU CAN
BEAT THE OTHERS AROUND HOUSTON.
IT’S A GREAT WAY, IT’S ALL
SELF-GUIDED.
IT TAKES FROM YOU SPOT TO SPOT
AND IT TRIES TO YOU SHOW YOU
THINGS YOU NORMALLY WOULDN’T
SEE.
EVEN IF YOU HAVE LIVED IN
HOUSTON YOUR WHOLE LIFE, YOU
WILL BE ABLE TO FIND JUST A FEW
THINGS THAT ARE TOTALLY
MIND-BLOWING OUT THERE.
>> Courtney: REDISCOVERING THE
CITY WE KNOW AND LOVE.
THESE ARE GREAT IDEAS.
CHARLIE FROM LET’S ROAM, THE
CEO.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR GIVING US
GREAT IDEAS.
>> THANK YOU.
HAVE A GOOD ONE.
>> Derrick: YOU TOO.
IN CASE YOU MISSED ANYTHING, DO
NOT WORRY.

SPEAKING OF THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND,
MORE PEOPLE ARE LIKE TO BE

>> Derrick: THAT IS FANTASTIC.
SETTING THOSE STUDENTS UP FOR
SUCCESS.
>> Courtney: ABSOLUTELY.
>> Derrick: THANKS, LAUREN.
COMING UP NEXT ON "HOUSTON
LIFE," AFTER TOUGH SETBACKS AND
HARD LOSSES A HOUSTON NATIVE IS
HEADED TO THE 2021 TOKYO
>> Courtney: WELCOME BACK.
>> Courtney: WELCOME BACK.
WHEN THE 2020 OLYMPIC GAMES IN
TOKYO WERE POSTPONED BECAUSE OF
THE PANDEMIC, ATHLETES AROUND
THE WORLD WERE HEAVILY IMPACTED
AND THAT INCLUDES ONE HOUSTONIAN
WHO HAS BEEN CHASING HER OLYMPIC
DREAM FOR A DECADE NOW.
>> Derrick: IT CERTAINLY HAS
NOT BEEN EASY DESPITE SIX KNEE
SURGERIES, TAE KWON DO ATHLETE
VICTORIA STAMBAUGH HAS STAYED
POSITIVE THROUGH IT ALL.
SHE IS JOINING US RIGHT NOW.
VICTORIA, IT IS SO GREAT TO SEE
YOU.
FIRST OF ALL, HUGE, HUGE
CONGRATULATIONS.
TAKE US BACK TO EARLY MARCH
BECAUSE YOU WERE GEARING UP TO
GO TO THE OLYMPICS AND THEN
SUDDENLY THAT PLAN CHANGED.
>> THANK YOU GUYS, AGAIN, THANK
YOU FOR HAVING ME HERE.
IT’S AN HONOR.
YEAH, MY OLYMPIC QUALIFICATION
WAS MARCH 12th, AND THAT WAS
LITERALLY THE LAST TAE KWON DO
TOURNAMENT OF THE WHOLE YEAR.
SO I HAD MY OLYMPIC
QUALIFICATION TOURNAMENT MARCH
12th AND THEN BOOM, THE VERY
NEXT DAY THEY GO AHEAD AND
CANCEL ALL OF THE TAE KWON DO
TOURNAMENTS FOR THE WHOLE YEAR.
SO IT WAS LIKE LITERALLY BY THE
GRACE OF GOD I GET MY
QUALIFICATION TOURNAMENT IN, I
QUALIFY FOR THE OLYMPICS AND NOW
I’M SECURED.
SO IT’S JUST A BLESSING BECAUSE
SO MANY ATHLETES STILL HAVEN’T
SECURED THEIR SPOT FOR THE
OLYMPICS AND SO THAT’S VERY
NERVE-RACKING.
I’M JUST VERY THOUGHTFUL THAT I
CAN JUST KIND OF TAKE A BREATHER
AND JUST ENJOY THIS TIME OF
QUALIFYING FOR THE OLYMPICS.
>> Courtney: ABSOLUTELY.
TOKYO JULY 2020 WILL 2020 -- 202
YOUR TIME TO SHINE.
WE CAN’T WAIT TO SEE YOU DURING
THE OLYMPICS.
TALK TO US ABOUT YOUR ROAD TO
BECOMING AN ATHLETE THAT YOU ARE
BECAUSE BORN AND RAISED IN
PASADENA, YOU STARTED TAE KWON
DO AT THE AGE OF JUST EIGHT.
>> YES, MA’AM.
YEAH, SO MY DAD WAS A
PROFESSIONAL BOXER.
HE WANTED TO PUT ME INTO A
FIGHTING SPORT.
MY PARENTS DECIDED TAE KWON DO.
SO I GOT INTO TAE KWON DO AND IT
REALLY WENT FROM THERE.
I WAS A REALLY GOOD ATHLETE AT
PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING I DID BUT
I JUST KIND OF DID REALLY WELL
WITH TAE KWON DO AND MY PARENTS
PUSHED ME INTO THAT DIRECTION
AND MY COACH AS WELL AND SO I
MADE U.S. NATIONAL TEAM AT 15.
AT 17 YEARS OLD I WENT TO PUERTO
RICO TO MAKE THEIR NATIONAL TEAM
WITH THE GREAT OPPORTUNITY FROM
THEM.
MY FAMILY IS PUERTO RICAN.
SO I WENT AHEAD IN 2011 TO
COMPETE FOR PUERTO RICO.
AND IT’S BEEN A LONG JOURNEY.
>> Derrick: SPEAKING OF YOUR
LONG JOURNEY, VICTORIA, ACL
SURGERY IN 2010, AND MENISCUS
SURGERY IN 2012 AND THAT ALSO
GOES ON AND ON.
SIX SURGERIES.
WAS THERE EVER A TIME WHEN YOU
THOUGHT OH, MY GOSH, THAT IS
JUST NOT GOING TO HAPPEN?
>> OH, 100%.
MY FIRST SURGERY I WAS YOUNG, I
WAS 16 YEARS OLD.
I THOUGHT I’LL KIND OF COME BACK
FROM THAT.
THAT NEVER REALLY WENT WELL,
THAT SURGERY.
IN 2012 I TORE MY ACL AND
MENISCUS AND FROM THAT POINT ON,
I SAID I’M DONE, I QUIT.
I CAN’T DO THIS ANYMORE.
IT WAS TOO MUCH FOR ME.
I REALLY FELT FOR SOME REASON, I
DON’T KNOW, BUT I DID.
AND THEN THE FOLLOWING YEAR I
HAD TO GET MY ACL REDONE THAT I
HAD BACK IN 2010.
SO IN 2013 I HAD TWO SURGERIES
BASICALLY AND THEN AGAIN, IN
2018 I HAD THE MENISCUS AND LAST
YEAR WAS ACTUALLY MY BIGGEST
SURGERY EVER WHERE THEY WENT
AHEAD AND HAD TO TAKE OUT ABOUT
80% OF MY MENISCUS.
SO THAT WAS THE TIME WHERE I
SAID I THINK I’M DONE.
I DON’T KNOW IF I ACTUALLY CAN
COME BACK FROM THIS.
BEING AN ATHLETE, LET ALONE
QUALIFY FOR THE OLYMPICS.
I REALLY DIDN’T THINK IT WAS
POSSIBLE.
SO THAT WAS THE MOMENT FOR ME
WHERE I WAS LIKE, I DON’T KNOW
IF I CAN ACTUALLY DO THIS.
I DON’T THINK SO.
IT REALLY TOOK MY FAITH AND MY
PERSEVERANCE TO TRUST IN GOD AND
JUST TO PERSEVERE AND KEEP GOING
AND TO JUST TRUST GOD AND JUST
AND TO JUST TRUST GOD AND JUST
DO IT.
>> Courtney: LOOK WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN DO YOU THAT.
LOOK AT LINDSEY VONN, THE FEMALE
SKIER, U.S. ATHLETE.
AMAZING.
SHE HAS THAT SAME STORY OF
PERSEVERANCE AND I LOVE THAT YOU
CHANNEL THAT AND I THINK THAT’S
WHAT SEPARATES THE ELITE
ATHLETES FROM EVERYBODY ELSE
BECAUSE IF YOU WANT IT BAD
ENOUGH, YOU FIND A WAY TO GET UP
AND DO IT AGAIN AND I THINK THAT
SPEAKS VOLUMES TO NOT ONLY TO
PERSON YOU ARE BUT HOW YOU WERE
RAISED BY YOUR PARENTS.
>> OH, YEAH, MY PARENTS, THEY’RE
MY BIGGEST SUPPORTERS, OBVIOUSLY
MY DAD HAS BEEN MY NUMBER ONE
FAN.
MY MOM HAS BEEN MY NUMBER ONE
FAN.
I COULDN’T BE HERE WITHOUT THEM.
I’M SO, SO BLESSED TO HAVE THEM
AS MY PARENTS AND THEY HAVE BEEN
THE ONES TO JUST KEEP PUSHING HE
AND COME ON, VICTORIA, YOU’VE
GOT THIS AND PRAYING FOR ME AND
BELIEVING.
IT WAS AN ARMY OF PEOPLE TO MAKE
THIS HAPPEN.
MENTALLY, YOU KNOW, A MENTAL
COACH, MY TRAINERS, IT WAS AN
ARMY TO HELP ME GET THIS FAR,
ABSOLUTELY.
>> Derrick: YOU HAVEN’T
EXACTLY BEEN SITTING AROUND THE
PAST FEW MONTHS, VICTORIA.
YOU’RE A STUDENT AT U OF H,
SCHEDULED TO GRADUATE THIS FALL
AFTER STUDYING KINESIOLOGY.
CONGRATULATIONS.
BUT ALSO IN THE MEANTIME DURING
COVID, I UNDERSTAND YOU AND YOUR
FIANCE OPENED UP YOUR OWN
FACILITY CALLED BELIEVE, COMMIT
ACHIEVE TAE KWON DO AND PARKOUR
UP IN THE WOODLANDS.
THIS IS INCREDIBLE.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
WE’RE SO EXCITED.
AFTER WE GOT NOTIFICATION THAT
THE OLYMPICS WILL BE POSTPONED
FOR NEXT YEAR, WE SAID YOU KNOW
WHAT, LET’S DO IT.
LET’S DO THIS NOW.
AND WE’RE THE TYPE OF PEOPLE, WE
OVERCOME OBSTACLES SO THIS IS A
HUGE OBSTACLE IN OUR WAY, THIS
PANDEMIC, BUT WE REALLY KEPT
FAITH AND JUST GO FOR IT.
SOMETIMES YOU JUST GOT TO GO.
YOU NEVER KNOW UNTIL YOU TRY.
YOU SAY THAT ALL THE TIME BUT
UNTIL YOU ACTUALLY DO THAT, YOU
NEVER KNOW.
WE WENT FOR IT AND HERE WE ARE
TODAY.
I’M ACTUALLY AT MY FACILITY.
SO WE’RE FINALLY OPEN.
THERE’S A LOT OF HICCUPS BUT I’M
NOT A STRANGER TO THAT.
>> Courtney: WHAT’S GREAT TOO
IS PARKOUR IS WONDERFUL FOR ALL
AGES.
I SEE A LOT OF SENIORS DOING
THIS TO HELP WITH MOBILITY AND
BALANCE.
IT’S NOT JUST FOR YOUNG KIDS.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
PARKOUR IS GREAT.
AND TAE KWON DO AND PARKOUR,
THEY HAVE VERY SIMILAR MOVEMENTS
IN SOME THINGS AND THEY GO WELL
TOGETHER.
SO THIS IS THE ONLY PARKOUR GYM
IN THE HOUSTON AREA.
SO I’M REALLY, REALLY EXCITED
AND JUST BLESSED THAT WE’RE HERE
AND WE’RE OPEN.
>> Courtney: WE’RE EXCITED FOR
YOU, VICTORIA STAMBAUGH, LOOKING
FORWARD TO TOKYO 2021.
WE CAN’T WAIT TO HAVE YOU IN
STUDIO AND MEET YOU IN PERSON,
MAYBE WE’LL TAKE A CLASS UP AT
THE STUDIO ONE DAY.
>> Derrick: THAT WOULD BE
COOL.
CAN WE COME TAKE A CLASS?
>> YES, ABSOLUTELY.
I WOULD LOVE THAT.
THAT WOULD BE SO MUCH FUN.

MARK IT DOWN.
VICTORIA STAMBAUGH, BEST OF LUCK

SUCCESS.
