Behind the scenes, I want to

35
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:28.680
give me a book update first before
we go any deeper. All Right,

36
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:31.919
the book I've been working on all
summer has now been officially titled Old School

37
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:37.759
Versus News School Media is what it
is now. The textbook that I'm working

38
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:42.120
on is adjusting the new media.
I will be the author not one,

39
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:46.120
but two books. I'll give you
release dates coming up as they progress.

40
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:49.479
But we're getting in the final days
of this whole thing where I should have

41
00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:53.319
everything wrapped up and then it takes
the next step towards publishing. So I

42
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:55.919
just want to give every a formal
update on that as well. So I'm

43
00:02:55.919 --> 00:03:00.240
really excited about this show, and
every time I bring Tory harm and on

44
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:06.159
my prodigal son, it makes it
even more sprucial than that. All right,

45
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:09.120
But that's that Tory. We're gonna
talk about your experience in Kansas City,

46
00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:14.520
getting her getting there. Who well, Stott, you know how I

47
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:17.520
was trying to get there, to
get that opportunity to to get there first

48
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:22.479
and foremost, you know, I
definitely gotta give you, you know,

49
00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:25.960
so much props and so much love
for you know, giving me an opportunity

50
00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:31.719
to put my story out there in
the beginning, Uh, to you know,

51
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:36.159
for other people like me who you
know, dreams. You know,

52
00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:39.000
you're fighting for your dreams. You're
living for your dreams, and sometimes you

53
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:43.080
don't think it's gonna come true,
but you're gonna keep fighting for him anyway,

54
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:46.400
you know. Uh, So you
gotta be in reality a little bit,

55
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:53.439
you know, until it actually happens. Seeing when it actually happened here

56
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:58.840
we can Kansas City Chief, twenty
two world champions. You know, you

57
00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:01.919
really can't ask enough better than that. So, you know, with that

58
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:09.840
being said, getting there it was
a hard struggling you know, true discipline,

59
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:15.719
true discipline. Uh, just getting
myself together and me building myself in

60
00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:19.160
the way that I just felt like
our hats you know, I had to

61
00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:23.240
be kind of good at everything.
I didn't want no excuses so when I

62
00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:26.800
do get there, it wouldn't be
no excuses. And it was able to

63
00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:31.279
show a little bit in every aspect
of the organization. Once I didn't get

64
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:35.319
there, uh, you're gonna have
to stick up a little bit louder please,

65
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:39.800
oh a little bit louder. Yeah, sorry about that. I can't

66
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:42.040
hear me. I can't hear me
more. I can't hear me better that

67
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:46.759
yeah, much better? Okay,
okay, yeah, So actually getting there.

68
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:49.800
Uh. It started a couple of
years ago, to be honest,

69
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:56.399
uh with the legendary mister John Woodn't. Uh. Mister John Wooden has been

70
00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:00.000
a mentor of mind, a teacher
your mind for a couple of years,

71
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:04.439
and he reached out to several people
to get no response. Was kind of

72
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:09.759
shocked him a little bit. So
by shocking him, you know, I

73
00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:15.879
never gave up and I kept kept
fighting. So happened. I could say

74
00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:19.600
that a the week other AFC Championship
game, I'm sending emails to coaches in

75
00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:26.160
the NFL just to try to get
somebody to respond or say something. So

76
00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:30.720
on a Wednesday, right before the
AFC Championship Game, all of a sudden,

77
00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:36.240
I get a response from coach Andy
Reid, which shocked me. It

78
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:40.040
blew my mind. First of all, that he responded. You know what

79
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:44.759
I mean, that he actually took
time in preparation for the AFC Championship Game

80
00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:48.199
to respond to me. You know
what I mean, just somebody just trying

81
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:54.160
to find a way. So but
he did tell me in that email that

82
00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:58.560
we was gonna catch back up,
let's get let's get together after the season,

83
00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:01.560
you know, once everything and kind
of come down. So of course

84
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:05.399
we all know they won the World
Championship, won the Super Bowl. Patrick

85
00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:14.720
Mahons was the MVP, uh and
after the combine and everything happened, he

86
00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:19.279
I kind of reached back out to
him once thing settled down, and mister

87
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:24.240
Wooden reached back out to him as
well. You know, so I gotta

88
00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:27.240
give him the credit for that as
well too, because he put us on

89
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:30.800
the text together and all of a
sudden, he was like, well,

90
00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:32.879
I'm looking forward to seeing and I'm
like, so old up that coach.

91
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:35.480
Now you're seeing you looking forward to
see him, and I like it this

92
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:40.680
for real or this for play?
You know those don't play with me right

93
00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:43.600
now? You know what I mean
now? So he was like, nah,

94
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:47.680
I'm gonna give you my uh my
assistance info and I want y'all to

95
00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:53.800
get together and he'd get everything situated. So with that being said, right

96
00:06:53.839 --> 00:07:00.319
before the the mini camp, the
first mini camp after the draft, they

97
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:03.079
gave me a call and they told
me they wanted me to do they Bill

98
00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:10.000
Walsh Minority Internship for coaching. So
of course I accept it with dope problems.

99
00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:13.360
Yes, sir, I will do
anything else I need to do,

100
00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:17.879
sir, you know what I mean. So uh so, and anticipation for

101
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:23.319
that, I'm playing myself, you
know, to be up here for training

102
00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:26.800
camp, to be gone for a
month and a little bit over a month

103
00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:30.800
or so, not knowing what to
expect. But they're going in there with

104
00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:34.240
the with the with the mind frame
of I want them to find out who

105
00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:41.279
I am, you know, and
know who I am. So now that

106
00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:45.680
was the that was the biggest It
felt good. That was the biggest feeling

107
00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:48.560
to know that I had that opportunity
to come. And so once that time

108
00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:55.319
came in July sixteenth, hit,
which was my departure date from Florida to

109
00:07:55.399 --> 00:08:00.439
go to Kansas City. Uh I
almost cried a little bit. I held

110
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:03.759
it in, but I was just
anxious and ready. All right, we'll

111
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:05.759
move on to the next thing.
You got. Terry saw had a fancy

112
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:09.399
everything and be around everybody. Let's
talk about the length of the program and

113
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:15.920
then in your final game. Well, the length of the program was from

114
00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:18.839
training camp all the way up until
the first game, the first preseason game.

115
00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:26.439
Okay, so even with being that
getting there, I mean, NFL,

116
00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:28.480
what more can I say? It
was a one all the way across

117
00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:33.799
the board. You know, you
know the crazy party. They they overfeed

118
00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:39.039
you in training camp. They overfeed
you so they I mean everywhere you go,

119
00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:45.200
you got man juice, smooth,
the snacks, everything, Like I'm

120
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:48.399
talking about going made food in the
morning, in the afternoon for the coaches

121
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:58.679
and I'm talking about I'm shocked.
Oh well, okay, pretty good so

122
00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:03.039
far. You'd be like, oh, we can eat all this like you

123
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:05.200
know what I'm saying this for us, coach, like you better eat up

124
00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:07.600
around here now, you know what
I'm saying, like eat up. And

125
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:11.240
you know coach Andrey, you know
he loves hamburgers and I'm gonna hamburgers from

126
00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:15.080
had it too, so we haven't
good hand. He got all kinds of

127
00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:18.919
hamburgers there, you know what I'm
talking about. So but you know,

128
00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:24.759
just the crazy part is once I
got there, you know, first person

129
00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:28.039
I see coming through the door with
the suitcase was Patrick Mahomes, right,

130
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:31.559
you know, and this is with
the Rookers now, so he reported with

131
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:39.759
the Rookers, and first hand,
you know, I didn't say nothing to

132
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:43.440
him because all the cameras out there
following them in doing all that type of

133
00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:48.039
stuff. So I end up walking
to the facility and all of a sudden,

134
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:52.159
as he's sitting there, he already
over there, just kind of getting

135
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:54.600
everything together and it's locker. So
I'm like, what's up, Pat,

136
00:09:54.679 --> 00:10:00.480
Like you know, I'm I'm interning
here, and so so he and literally

137
00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:03.799
sat down and just started talking to
him like he didn't know him for twenty

138
00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:07.240
years or so. So I'm like, I'm just sitting here like you you

139
00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:09.919
know who you are. I'm sitting
here at this talking to you like I'd

140
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:13.440
have known you for a while.
And he care and hold conversation, you

141
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:18.240
know what I mean. Uh,
very humble guy. And they come to

142
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:22.399
find out I really kind of see
why he's number one in the world,

143
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:26.559
you know, with the Kansas City
Chiefs as well, the coach read,

144
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:31.879
the organization, the coaching staff,
the support team, everybody that's a part

145
00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:39.200
of it is eight plus plus.
Okay. So we talked about the length

146
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:41.919
of programming and obviously you got to
the first preseason game where you act that

147
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:48.679
first preseason game or so, so
you didn't have the Where was that game

148
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:52.360
held at New Orleans? Okay?
So you got to be and the New

149
00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:58.360
Orleans super Dome Okay. As a
part of that, I've had some incredible

150
00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:01.279
memories there for sure, a lot
of football games. So on words we

151
00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:05.639
go. We talked about the point
of coaching and starting to be able to

152
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:09.159
coach at me and you indicated Patrick
Mahomes and Travis Kels. So you know,

153
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:13.000
it seems like to me everything I've
read that Patrick Mahomes is a very

154
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:18.000
humble individual and Travis Kels. Tell
me a little bit about both of those

155
00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:22.559
two guys. Well, pat let
me say Patty. He one of the

156
00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:24.759
first things he told me, he
said, K, yeah, i'ma try

157
00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:28.159
not to cuss all the players out
from messing up, you know what I

158
00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:31.440
mean. I'm gona try not to
cuss him out so bad. You know,

159
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:35.080
I'm gonna try to be good.
Uh So I was like, nah,

160
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:37.159
let them have it now, they
need to let him have it.

161
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:39.200
You know what I'm saying, don't
don't take your leadership off hat because you

162
00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:41.679
know, I want to hear it, because I want to hear who you

163
00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:46.000
are, Like literally. But the
crazy part is, I'm gonna tell y'all

164
00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:52.360
this. When coach Read is doing
the install with this big book right here

165
00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:58.039
full of plays, all right,
when he's doing the install, he's coach

166
00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:03.039
Read is up going through the plays. He don't just sit down and all

167
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:07.399
right, I'm just saying this is
what's going on. He's up describing,

168
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:11.960
going through it. And as he
as he likes to say that son of

169
00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:13.120
a book because we know he don't
cuss, you know what I mean,

170
00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:16.159
But he was like, yeah,
that's son of a book, and fast

171
00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:18.600
and furious. I need I need
to scream too. You know. He's

172
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:22.559
just going through each route like it's
nothing. So uh, he's asking he's

173
00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:30.120
asking Pat certain questions about certain plays
and when would he run him. And

174
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:33.919
I'm gonna ask you a question,
Scott, And as quick as you can

175
00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:37.879
answer, okay, that's how quick
he answers. So I'm ask you a

176
00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:41.960
question, and I want you to
answer this question. All right, what's

177
00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:46.960
your first name? Scott? That's
how quickly he answers those questions. Well,

178
00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:52.120
now, I've been calling a lot
of other things, but as school

179
00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:56.240
networking group you go to, I
want you to flash that book up again.

180
00:12:56.279 --> 00:12:58.960
I want to see it again.
They let you, they let you

181
00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:03.159
keep it, thank God. And
that's how I know him. End up

182
00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:07.440
going back what's what's happened? That's
how I know him, and end up

183
00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:11.240
going back from Yeah, they don't
release that stuff too much, all right,

184
00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:15.519
So let's go on and talk about
what it was like working for with

185
00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:20.720
Andy Reid. You know, the
hold on. I got to say this

186
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:24.279
first. First of all, when
I first got there, we had the

187
00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:31.799
first coaches meeting that uh that Monday
morning at the facility, and I was

188
00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:37.120
the first person he greeted, like
he walked in the building, like walking

189
00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:39.679
in the meeting room and I'm standing
there talking to one and other coaches and

190
00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:46.200
he like, hey, tour,
you're talking to me, like I want

191
00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:48.919
to hug you, Like you know
what I'm saying, So I want to

192
00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:52.639
hug you. So you know,
end up shaking his hand, hugging him

193
00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:56.679
and stuff like that. And he
ended up bringing all the interns up h

194
00:13:56.919 --> 00:14:01.039
to to kind of kind of talk, you know, and introduced himselves to

195
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:03.919
the coaching staff and stuff like that, and hours first so he was like,

196
00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:07.320
go on, start us off and
let us know who y'are and where

197
00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:11.360
you're coming from and so forth so
on. So of course everybody went down

198
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:15.679
through that, and when I was
able to kind of once we got into

199
00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:18.960
camp, I was able to talk
to him one night getting in the hallway.

200
00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:20.960
He was walking down the hallway right
and I said, I'm gonna try

201
00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:26.879
to talk to you without getting emotional
or whatever, because I know, I'm

202
00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:28.600
like, all I saw was his
order, Like, I'm like, this

203
00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:31.360
is really a coach, and they
read right here, you know, this

204
00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:37.600
man is legendary right here. So
uh, we end up talking for a

205
00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:39.679
man, and of course I couldn't
hold my emotions. I must out of

206
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:43.200
the crime. So he started shaking
my hand and pat mel on the shoulder

207
00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:46.519
in my back. He's like,
you're good, Like you know, I'm

208
00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:50.200
happy here. You know, I
just want you to get this experience,

209
00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:52.200
you know, let you see what
we can do, and let us see

210
00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:56.759
what we can do with you,
you know what I mean. And that

211
00:14:56.960 --> 00:15:03.840
that felt good. So when I
say he's a one, he knows every

212
00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:07.879
single thing he knows. He pays
attention to detail. The crazy party is.

213
00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:11.519
Even when I had my hat on
a practice, I had it flipped

214
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:16.600
up like this, at practice and
he looked at me and said, put

215
00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:18.840
the hat down. I said,
I was my bad. I'm sorry.

216
00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:22.000
Yeah, you know, so he
when I say he pays attention, he

217
00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:28.279
actually pays attention to every single little
thing. And he knows everything that's going

218
00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:31.039
on around him and he who he
has around him as well. So it

219
00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:35.639
felt good to know that I was
one of the ones he was letting to

220
00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:39.399
be around him, you know what
I'm saying and learn from him. And

221
00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:43.320
so has he ever gone out there
and giving you advice about what Kansas City

222
00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:46.159
barbecue has to go there? Because
all was at Kansas City. I enjoyed

223
00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:52.039
the barbecue out there. Oh my
goodness. He several Hamburger places. And

224
00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:56.840
the crazy party is they had a
couple of caterers from different barbecue spots throughout

225
00:15:56.960 --> 00:16:00.919
Kemp. I figured, yeah,
so they had they had some bobby,

226
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:03.320
a lot of bibecue, some trucks, some food. I mean, like,

227
00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:07.279
so he treat you know here,
they got the food trucks out there,

228
00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:12.279
we got the catering going on,
and that barbecue was great. It

229
00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:18.440
was great, you know, definitely
that Uh but Coach Reid, I mean,

230
00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:22.360
I really can't express the gratitude and
the thanks that I had for him.

231
00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:26.240
I had to see you the picture
that we took before the game,

232
00:16:26.559 --> 00:16:30.639
because I was talking to him in
New Orleans before, like the night before

233
00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:33.000
the game. So he was like, he said, are you are you

234
00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:36.440
coming to the game to market?
You talking to me like you for the

235
00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:38.600
league? Like I said, no, I'm I'm gonna beat there. You're

236
00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:41.200
like, okay, you like if
you ain't like you for the league,

237
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:45.799
but go somewhere. You can't go
nowhere yet, so uh man. He

238
00:16:47.200 --> 00:16:51.240
took care of everybody. He made
sure everybody felt the part. You know,

239
00:16:51.399 --> 00:16:55.360
he asked our opinions and a lot
of things, uh just to so

240
00:16:55.639 --> 00:16:57.320
you know, we can definitely feel
a part of being a part of the

241
00:16:57.440 --> 00:17:02.759
organization and training, all right,
getting a little bit of chat room activity.

242
00:17:02.840 --> 00:17:04.680
You know how much I enjoy that. All right, Blake, thanks

243
00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:07.440
for being back. What's going on? Blake? We've got Tor Harman and

244
00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:11.359
you because you're a part of the
broadcast. I'm glad to see again,

245
00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:15.839
Blake. We're going to get increasingly
busy over the next couple of weeks.

246
00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:19.480
As of late, I haven't been
able to do as many broadcasts because I've

247
00:17:19.519 --> 00:17:22.799
been working on a couple of books. For those of you just joining us,

248
00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:29.559
I am working on my first regular
book called Old School Media Versus New

249
00:17:29.640 --> 00:17:33.319
School Media, and I'm putting the
finishing touches and it goes to editing as

250
00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:36.759
well as other stages. And we
have a lot of great pictures, and

251
00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:40.799
that the second book that I am
writing right now or should actually pretty much

252
00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:44.000
be complete because they go hand in
and is adjusting to new media. So

253
00:17:44.440 --> 00:17:48.400
as everybody continues to go out there
and come on these shows, I'll give

254
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:51.680
you regular updates and another one of
my favorite. So Blake, I'm so

00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:03.920
Eric course George like Cory and I

258
00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:07.160

259
00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:11.160

friend. I'll give you the way to

261
00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:18.279

to autograph it for you. So I

262
00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:22.160
love this kind of chat room Tory
harmon folks is a feel good story.

263
00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:26.200
I go back quite a few years
with Tory when I worked in internet radio

264
00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:29.920
with one of my old colleagues,
Peter Ween, and I found him on

265
00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:36.200
excuse me, I believe it was
LinkedIn, right, Cory, to show

266
00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:38.359
you, folks. LinkedIn is a
very good tool. I've really gone out

267
00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:44.000
there and benefited greatly by the of
guests that I can get and the relationships

268
00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:48.440
unable to build. So you know, and I encourage anybody that's in social

269
00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:52.319
media don't underestimate the significance of LinkedIn, because LinkedIn to me is unbelievable.

270
00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:56.000
It's not only to get guests out
there, but in our case, since

271
00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:59.559
we have enough followers, we're able
to also broadcast the shows that we're very

272
00:18:59.839 --> 00:19:03.920
appreciated of all the people that follow
us there as well. We're not one

273
00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:07.319
of those types of operations where the
video is important. But George and I,

274
00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:11.160
being old school kind of guys,
we believe an audio and visual because

275
00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:15.960
that's the way we were brought up
with terrestrial radio back in the days when

276
00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:19.400
we got our first start over forty
some years ago at w x y Z,

277
00:19:19.559 --> 00:19:23.599
which is ABC in Detroit. So
really enjoy all the stuff here in

278
00:19:23.640 --> 00:19:26.799
the chat room. Back to you, Blake, excellent, you know what,

279
00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:29.279
You're excellent. That's all I have
to say. All right, With

280
00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:32.240
that said, again, I love
that word. With that said, all

281
00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:36.279
right, good stop lailable. All
right, we're gonna go. So Tory,

282
00:19:36.319 --> 00:19:40.799
the question is now where you go
from here? Impressions of cheefe fans?

283
00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:45.039
Oh? Well, where I go
from here? Is guy's the limit

284
00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:49.720
right now? You know? Of
course, I'm thinking Coach Read and the

285
00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:55.839
staff definitely wanted me to keep in
contact with him, So I'm definitely going

286
00:19:55.920 --> 00:20:00.519
to do that throughout the season.
I think I'm actually uh yeah, asks

287
00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:03.119
me, was I gonna make it
too? Will I be able to make

288
00:20:03.160 --> 00:20:06.680
it to the Jacksonville game since I
was here in Florida, which is the

289
00:20:06.759 --> 00:20:10.599
second week of the season, So
I probably go and see everybody, you

290
00:20:10.680 --> 00:20:14.079
know what I'm saying, uh,
and enjoy the game with him as well.

291
00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:18.440
Because the crazy part is I used
to train a couple of other Jacksonville

292
00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:22.359
players, you know, Travis Etn
and snow Connor from Old Miss as well,

293
00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:26.079
so it's gonna be interesting. I
think I might go ahead and make

294
00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:33.920
it up there so I can see
them dismantle them jaguars right quickly. So

295
00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:38.200
but yeah, I definitely think that
it's going everything from the internship, It's

296
00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:45.240
gonna work itself out. I made
a big impression with the personnel of the

297
00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:49.920
coaching and also the strength of condition
in areas. So I think the first

298
00:20:51.039 --> 00:20:55.240
opening, the first thing comes up, I think I'll be right fit right

299
00:20:55.400 --> 00:20:57.960
on end. So I'm just make
sure I do my part and stay in

300
00:20:59.039 --> 00:21:02.799
contact with every about it and keep
being in those relationships that we do.

301
00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:06.240
All right, Joshua, I know
you have to run and look forward to

302
00:21:06.279 --> 00:21:07.799
catching up and these soon. Thanks
for checking in with us. Yeah,

303
00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:11.400
you know, you bring on a
couple of interesting points to number one.

304
00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:17.680
Okay, you're going to Jacksonville and
you have information on the other team's opponents,

305
00:21:17.680 --> 00:21:19.039
so I'm sure he probably can use
a lot of your input there,

306
00:21:19.359 --> 00:21:22.640
especially after it with a gain.
Again, it just shows that you're interested

307
00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:25.880
in the program and you're willing to
work as your tail off. That shows

308
00:21:25.920 --> 00:21:29.279
you what hard work will do.
You work hard things will take care of

309
00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:32.960
yourself. So that's good that you're
able to go up to Jacksonville and see

310
00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:36.920
him there. I've seen the chief
Jacksonville game before when the Jaguars weren't so

311
00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:40.839
good, and now that since these
two teams have seen each other in the

312
00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:45.319
playoffs, I have a feeling this
could be a very good rivalry going forward.

313
00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:47.200
I have only two more things I
want to get to. Then I'm

314
00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:51.519
going to turn over to Jeremy and
George and we'll move things along. Obviously,

315
00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:53.200
you return to Florida. You know, what's it been like here?

316
00:21:53.200 --> 00:22:02.359
A little bit and reacclimating. Man
just read honestly a little depressed. I

317
00:22:02.480 --> 00:22:04.680
can't tell I can't sit here and
tell you different, you know, because

318
00:22:04.720 --> 00:22:08.240
I was I was living while I
was dreaming up there, you know what

319
00:22:08.319 --> 00:22:12.200
I mean. Like everything every day
was a dream, like to wake up

320
00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:18.720
to be a part of that,
the training camp to the being meetings.

321
00:22:19.480 --> 00:22:22.759
I mean, I was there practice
start at nine oh five. I was

322
00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:26.640
there at six thirty every day,
you know what I mean, like,

323
00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:32.480
and I didn't leave until we had
the personnel meeting in the h in the

324
00:22:32.559 --> 00:22:34.200
office, the uh at the end
of the night. That was the last

325
00:22:34.279 --> 00:22:40.839
thing we had, you know,
so uh it was. It was absolutely

326
00:22:40.960 --> 00:22:45.240
amazing being back here. Definitely,
I had to give me another pick me

327
00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:48.599
up. You know, because it's
like, man, you gave me an

328
00:22:48.599 --> 00:22:52.240
appetizing Now I'm ready for the whole
buffet, you know what I mean.

329
00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:56.720
I'm ready to stay in Kansas City
and be a part, you know,

330
00:22:56.960 --> 00:23:02.680
because you know, after the first
preseason game. You know that's being able

331
00:23:02.720 --> 00:23:06.519
to have the treatment that they have, you know, to fly to get

332
00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:10.240
to the hotel, everything already set
up, you know, to get to

333
00:23:10.359 --> 00:23:14.440
the stadium and stuff and my name
on the locker, my coaching clothes and

334
00:23:14.759 --> 00:23:18.279
set up all looking good and just
to be a part. And the crazy

335
00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:22.640
part was, Uh, I'm sitting
there in the in the locker room before

336
00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:26.480
the game, like, man,
I need to be doing something, Like

337
00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:29.599
I just feel like I need to
do something. And then all of a

338
00:23:29.680 --> 00:23:33.240
sudden, coach Matt Naggy, the
offensive coordinator, Uh, he came.

339
00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:37.720
He walked by me. He gave
me a play call sheet, and he

340
00:23:37.839 --> 00:23:41.519
said, well, I need you
to get me seven on seven together.

341
00:23:41.559 --> 00:23:45.720
I need you to get my team
stuff together. I need you to get

342
00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:48.839
all that stuff together. You've been
doing it since in training camp, so

343
00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:52.640
why stop now. So they let
me know that he noticed me doing that

344
00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:57.000
in training camp, like literally the
first day of training camp. He uh,

345
00:23:57.079 --> 00:24:00.640
he kind of. He was asking, you know, at practice,

346
00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:04.279
he asked the coaches. He was
like, coaches helped me out with personnel,

347
00:24:04.400 --> 00:24:08.160
calling that personnel and stuff, and
from that day four he ain't never

348
00:24:08.240 --> 00:24:11.519
had to call out no more portant
person there because I would call and everything

349
00:24:12.200 --> 00:24:17.319
the only thing. So he was
like, So it made me feel good

350
00:24:17.440 --> 00:24:21.839
that he noticed it and called on
to it. Yeah, I know something

351
00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:25.359
good gonna come out of it.
So I'm just you know, when that

352
00:24:25.440 --> 00:24:27.720
time come, I'll be ready.
So it sounds like to me, if

353
00:24:27.759 --> 00:24:30.400
I understand correctly, and I'll go
one more thing and I'll turn it over

354
00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:36.400
to Germany for next in order.
Okay, So something to Florida was returning

355
00:24:36.440 --> 00:24:37.000
to floor. It was like a
bit of a come down. But you

356
00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:41.400
knew that wouldn't be as bad because
it sounds like you've installed an impression on

357
00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:45.680
the chiefs where they're gonna bring it
back. It's just a matter of when

358
00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:48.359
they're able to do it. It's
that correct. That is correct. Okay,

359
00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:52.160
very good. My last thing,
I'm gonna ask you about Kansas City

360
00:24:52.200 --> 00:24:59.839
predictions. From an insider's perspective,
what should fans be aware of Patrick Mahons

361
00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:03.799
on another mission. He's on another
mission. When I said, he's on

362
00:25:03.880 --> 00:25:08.799
another mission and just to be able
to see firsthand because I sat down with

363
00:25:08.960 --> 00:25:12.119
him and asked him, I said, how does it feel to be the

364
00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:18.599
number one player in the world voted
by your peers? Right? He said,

365
00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:19.720
coach, you know it? Actually
you know how fast he talked,

366
00:25:21.599 --> 00:25:23.160
You know, he talked real fast. But he said, Coach that it

367
00:25:23.240 --> 00:25:29.039
actually feels good. But I want
to do it again. He's like,

368
00:25:29.160 --> 00:25:32.359
I kind of put it behind me
once we got the Marines, so he's

369
00:25:32.400 --> 00:25:34.759
like, I want to prove myself
again. So it's like every year he

370
00:25:34.960 --> 00:25:40.640
has a determination and a chip on
his shoulder to prove itself again. So

371
00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:45.400
with that being said, first of
all, before ever and answer this question

372
00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:49.200
about this prediction, I think they
I think they're gonna win it again,

373
00:25:49.400 --> 00:25:55.039
if not close. All right,
One thing that entered my mind, how

374
00:25:55.119 --> 00:26:00.880
did it feel to be addressed coach
by Patrick Mahomes. It felt good and

375
00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:06.319
speaking and he knew more than that
what I did. And when I say

376
00:26:06.920 --> 00:26:11.640
I'm the crazy part is and I
can tell you this, the coaches,

377
00:26:11.799 --> 00:26:15.440
the offensive coaches don't talking to me. Patrick hump mahomet talking to me,

378
00:26:18.319 --> 00:26:22.440
that's first and foremost. Like he
he talks in to me and coach let

379
00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:26.720
him do the talking, and he
knows it inside and out, you know.

380
00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:30.400
So with blame Gavert and Shane and
Chris the other quarterbacks that's there,

381
00:26:32.119 --> 00:26:36.759
they would they everybody want to learn
from him. Everybody want to learn from

382
00:26:36.880 --> 00:26:40.920
him and to see how much he
actually knows, and he shares it with

383
00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:45.039
everybody, you know, everybody in
their room, you know. So it

384
00:26:45.200 --> 00:26:49.519
was a blessing to actually see and
watch him break down film and certain techniques

385
00:26:49.559 --> 00:26:53.119
and tendencies by certain people, even
your own teammates. You know. He

386
00:26:53.680 --> 00:26:57.960
started picking up and showing guy certain
things, you know, so for him

387
00:26:59.039 --> 00:27:03.000
to address it and talk to me
about certain things. If you're running back

388
00:27:03.079 --> 00:27:06.039
messed up or a step wrong,
he'll tell him, you know, coach

389
00:27:06.160 --> 00:27:08.440
that he needs to slow down or
hes going too fast because get him right.

390
00:27:08.559 --> 00:27:11.039
You know, I need a you
know what I'm saying, he gonna

391
00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:15.240
throw my time and off, you
know. So, and everybody made it

392
00:27:15.359 --> 00:27:21.039
an issue to make sure that time
was on so it wouldn't throw heels off.

393
00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:27.400
And the crazy part is even on
one place we was a practice and

394
00:27:27.519 --> 00:27:33.240
he ran. We ran a screen
to sky More and before he did it,

395
00:27:33.839 --> 00:27:37.119
he told me he like hit me
on my on my elbow. He

396
00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:41.279
said, watch this. So he
went out and ran the screen the sky

397
00:27:41.480 --> 00:27:47.160
More and threw the ball behind his
back to him. He was looking right

398
00:27:47.279 --> 00:27:52.079
and threw it behind his back left
interest and I'm like, you see like

399
00:27:52.519 --> 00:27:56.200
you just did, like seriously,
you know what I mean. So he

400
00:27:56.400 --> 00:28:00.000
had fun out there, so you
know, like I said to him,

401
00:28:00.119 --> 00:28:04.279
address me and talking to me,
and you know, it was a bliss.

402
00:28:06.519 --> 00:28:08.359
Okay, you know what, Jeremy
is going to be having a show

403
00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:11.279
at the bottom of the hour.
So first of all, before you ask

404
00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:15.799
Tor some questions, I want you
to let your fans preview. But you

405
00:28:15.880 --> 00:28:18.200
have going at ten thirty Jeremy,
and also let everybody know how they can

406
00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:21.759
find it. Then you can ask
him. And if you have to leave

407
00:28:21.759 --> 00:28:23.640
early, that's no problem. Get
your questions in George and I will take

408
00:28:23.680 --> 00:28:27.359
it home. Yep, no problem. You can find me at nikat Biting

409
00:28:27.400 --> 00:28:30.920
with the Detroit Lions, and my
show tonight is a little bit of the

410
00:28:30.960 --> 00:28:37.039
fan cave chat mixed with a pregame
show for the preseason game between the Jags

411
00:28:37.079 --> 00:28:41.480
and the Lions where the Lions travel
the Panthers and the Lionscuse me, we

412
00:28:41.559 --> 00:28:45.440
just played Jags last week. We
don't want to do that again. But

413
00:28:45.960 --> 00:28:49.839
it looks like the Panthers are only
gonna play Bryce Young a series or two,

414
00:28:51.039 --> 00:28:53.240
and it looks like Matt Correll they're
going to give him time to develop

415
00:28:53.319 --> 00:28:57.720
as that backup quarterback. But who
knows. If Matt Correll does better than

416
00:28:57.759 --> 00:29:02.680
Bryce Young has done this season,
he might have a chance to surplant him

417
00:29:03.279 --> 00:29:06.400
until Bryce Young gets a better grasp
of the playing book because he has not

418
00:29:06.559 --> 00:29:11.039
done well this preseason. So that's
an interesting aspect to watch on the game.

419
00:29:11.359 --> 00:29:15.039
That being said, you can also
find me here on the Pundit,

420
00:29:15.480 --> 00:29:18.839
the Professor in the Pupil. You
can find me on the Fire Up.

421
00:29:18.279 --> 00:29:22.519
I'll be also heading up the Fire
Up Wisconsin show, so I'll be helping

422
00:29:22.599 --> 00:29:26.640
Scott as much as I can,
and occasionally he might actually bring me in

423
00:29:26.839 --> 00:29:30.799
on inside the Pigskin for a little
football talk. Yeah, I we'll see

424
00:29:30.839 --> 00:29:33.240
what happens right now, that's in
the cards. We'll just see what happens.

425
00:29:33.319 --> 00:29:37.319
Okay, right now, I want
to make sure you know my primary

426
00:29:37.359 --> 00:29:40.759
goal with this guy is he talked
about my pet project story. He's one

427
00:29:40.839 --> 00:29:42.640
of them. Jeremy definitely is,
and he's not afraid to tell you because

428
00:29:42.680 --> 00:29:47.359
he was very enthusiastical he's on my
pet projects. I love his energy,

429
00:29:47.839 --> 00:29:51.279
but I like to develop people at
that slow pace and make sure they perfect

430
00:29:51.319 --> 00:29:53.519
what they're on. And when they
perfect what they're on, and I got

431
00:29:53.640 --> 00:29:57.240
news for it, there's always opportunity. But as I'm a realist, so

432
00:29:57.240 --> 00:30:03.519
I want to make sure that he's
really really good on Fire Up and Professor

433
00:30:03.599 --> 00:30:07.119
and People, because those are shows
that really right now are gonna be we're

434
00:30:07.160 --> 00:30:10.039
gonna work on. And the Fire
Up Wisconsin show is a really important show

435
00:30:10.079 --> 00:30:14.400
because obviously the Packers are involved.
So yeah, Jeremy, nobody's ever forgotten

436
00:30:14.400 --> 00:30:21.279
about Okay, on those other shows, you understand the two and the three,

437
00:30:21.519 --> 00:30:23.519
and I know that you're very conscious
of that, aren't you, Jeremy.

438
00:30:25.240 --> 00:30:29.319
Yes there, okay, okay,
all right. Got a few questions,

439
00:30:29.359 --> 00:30:32.599
as Tori, the floor is yours. Yes, With your background being

440
00:30:32.720 --> 00:30:36.920
with the sports and athletic development,
what did you see the difference at the

441
00:30:37.119 --> 00:30:41.119
NFL level, Because I know you
help people coming out of college transition into

442
00:30:41.160 --> 00:30:44.440
the NFL. At the NFL level, did you see a big difference in

443
00:30:44.480 --> 00:30:51.799
their regiment? Very big difference detail
detail. I mean to the tea when

444
00:30:51.839 --> 00:30:59.000
I say to the tea of running
routes, certain steps, uh, you

445
00:30:59.079 --> 00:31:03.480
know, quarterback, I mean everything. I mean it was when I say

446
00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:07.359
it was to the t the detail. You cannot get off the detail,

447
00:31:08.279 --> 00:31:15.960
and the detail is highly highly like
pushed, you know. So I mean

448
00:31:17.160 --> 00:31:22.759
if you run in for an example, if you my running backs had to

449
00:31:22.440 --> 00:31:27.359
they had to turn their head a
certain weight on majority of their plays,

450
00:31:27.519 --> 00:31:30.680
and if you turn your head a
different way, you're throwing off something,

451
00:31:32.960 --> 00:31:36.319
you know what I mean. So
that I think it was just it's just

452
00:31:36.559 --> 00:31:41.680
preparation and detail. A lot of
people prepare, but being detail is something

453
00:31:41.759 --> 00:31:45.279
a lot of people they try to
push but kind of start getting lack of

454
00:31:45.400 --> 00:31:51.759
day school with the lack of talent
maybe to execute it. Coach Read ain't

455
00:31:51.799 --> 00:31:57.079
going for that right And the only
other real question I have is, uh,

456
00:31:57.480 --> 00:32:01.240
I know that in that first game, Poteco King had a little something

457
00:32:01.359 --> 00:32:06.519
going on, and I know he's
back practicing again, so that's good for

458
00:32:06.640 --> 00:32:08.319
him. I'm glad to hear he's
healthy. Because when I watch him run,

459
00:32:08.880 --> 00:32:13.039
and I'm as much as I hate
to say this, because we got

460
00:32:13.119 --> 00:32:16.319
to play them week one, he
looks like he hurts the ground when he

461
00:32:16.440 --> 00:32:21.279
steps. Oh man, right when
I had a good point. Also,

462
00:32:21.319 --> 00:32:23.640
okay, he you know, go
ahead, keep asking your question. So

463
00:32:25.039 --> 00:32:34.319
what do you think about Isaiah Pacheco
and his potential in the NFL? Well,

464
00:32:34.519 --> 00:32:37.759
I think he does no last I
remember he got out and came back.

465
00:32:38.960 --> 00:32:43.359
I'm not worried about it. I
mean, obviously expect me on and

466
00:32:43.440 --> 00:32:45.319
pack in a moment. But meanwhile, good flow here. Everybody will hope

467
00:32:45.319 --> 00:32:50.039
you're enjoying this presentation of Fire Up. My name is Scott Morgan, Ruth

468
00:32:50.119 --> 00:32:52.680
Moore, City Manmouth. Please me
joined by Jeremy Barwick and George Ikorn.

469
00:32:53.119 --> 00:32:58.119
I'm going to see we had a
very good show at the beginning, and

470
00:32:59.240 --> 00:33:02.319
I'm sure we'll get he's technical Lary
back okay, go ahead, okay.

471
00:33:02.400 --> 00:33:06.759
And the other thing I was asking
was about Isaiah Pacheco, and I'm glad

472
00:33:06.839 --> 00:33:09.200
he's healthy because that's good for the
Chiefs. It's bad for my lions,

473
00:33:09.240 --> 00:33:14.519
but it's good for the Chiefs.
But and you're muted before you answer,

474
00:33:14.680 --> 00:33:19.000
So just let you know, Tory, there we go. So when he

475
00:33:19.200 --> 00:33:22.119
runs, it looks like he uses
his feet to hurt the ground. He

476
00:33:22.200 --> 00:33:27.079
has such a ground pounding run to
him, and it's not so much of

477
00:33:27.119 --> 00:33:31.319
a quick verse. He reminds me
of a more powerful version of Levion Bell.

478
00:33:32.079 --> 00:33:36.079
But once he gets through that hole, he has that burst and gets

479
00:33:36.160 --> 00:33:39.279
to his top end speed quick.
What did you see with Isaiah Pacheco with

480
00:33:39.440 --> 00:33:45.440
you being the assistant running back coach? Oh? Well, with him when

481
00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:52.920
I first died watching him, he
runs with full a grish like, yeah,

482
00:33:53.079 --> 00:33:59.960
he hurts the ground, his feet
bet are heavy. But the crazy

483
00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:04.960
asy part is what I've seen with
with Pop as we call him, he's

484
00:34:05.119 --> 00:34:14.119
uh, his how can I say
his fluency, It's not all the way

485
00:34:14.239 --> 00:34:20.119
there yet. Okay, he's raw
talent, raw talent. His fluency is

486
00:34:20.199 --> 00:34:23.840
not all the way there yet.
His arms and his legs go probably the

487
00:34:23.960 --> 00:34:28.320
same way. You know how some
people may do same arm, same leg

488
00:34:28.360 --> 00:34:30.800
when it's supposed to be opposite arm, opposite leg. He'll get to the

489
00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:35.440
point where he's doing the same arm, same leg a lot of times.

490
00:34:35.519 --> 00:34:39.760
So his fluency when I say that, but his feet we I worked on

491
00:34:39.840 --> 00:34:43.800
his feet a little bit more and
did a little bit more with him to

492
00:34:43.880 --> 00:34:47.159
try to help get his feet quicker. But the thing is, he had

493
00:34:47.239 --> 00:34:51.800
to be with him. I had
to get him a kind of a heavy

494
00:34:51.880 --> 00:34:54.719
ball so he can be able to
hold the ball but be able to move

495
00:34:54.800 --> 00:35:00.360
his other arms in the point where
it's working with his feet or whatever a

496
00:35:00.480 --> 00:35:05.960
lot better so he can be a
little smoother than just like almost like a

497
00:35:06.119 --> 00:35:09.559
robot or whatever. But like I
asked him and told him, I said,

498
00:35:09.559 --> 00:35:15.239
I really I want you to pray
for ten to twelve years instead of

499
00:35:15.320 --> 00:35:19.559
forty five, You know what I
mean? Because he runs a hard right,

500
00:35:19.679 --> 00:35:22.519
He runs that hard. He's one
of those guys you want to see

501
00:35:22.559 --> 00:35:27.000
do well. I liked them coming
out of college. He was one of

502
00:35:27.079 --> 00:35:30.039
those Day three sleepers, and I
said, watch this kid. He's got

503
00:35:30.159 --> 00:35:32.639
some speed. But I like the
way he pounds the rock through the home

504
00:35:34.320 --> 00:35:39.079
because that's more important, especially in
the running back by committee game. You

505
00:35:39.159 --> 00:35:44.480
know that that being patient behind the
line like he is, where he sees

506
00:35:44.559 --> 00:35:47.840
the whole develop and then gets through
it. That's a very important trait for

507
00:35:47.960 --> 00:35:52.960
running backs in my opinion. Definitely, definitely, you know, that's one

508
00:35:52.039 --> 00:35:57.280
thing that we learned, even I
learned from the from the Great Marshall fault

509
00:35:57.519 --> 00:36:00.159
patience to the whole, speed through
the whole, you know. I mean,

510
00:36:00.559 --> 00:36:05.239
that's what I saw. But it
takes him a second because and I

511
00:36:05.320 --> 00:36:07.639
think it's a lot to do with
that same arm, same leg, it

512
00:36:07.800 --> 00:36:10.719
takes him a second to get up
to that speed. But once he's there,

513
00:36:10.800 --> 00:36:15.400
he's gone. And see what you're
trying to work with him is getting

514
00:36:15.440 --> 00:36:22.760
into it ye point where yeah,
see you got you had to realize he's

515
00:36:22.800 --> 00:36:29.119
such a hard runner that when I
say he uses everything, he uses everything,

516
00:36:29.280 --> 00:36:34.440
including his head, like he'll start
his head gets the barb and and

517
00:36:34.559 --> 00:36:39.800
going and his arms and everything going, like it's like he can't he can't

518
00:36:39.880 --> 00:36:44.760
do one without the other. So
that's what we was trying to work on

519
00:36:44.920 --> 00:36:47.760
a little bit in the in the
midst of doing training camp. So you

520
00:36:47.880 --> 00:36:52.559
probably gonna see a little bit more
difference if he kept it going. Since

521
00:36:52.599 --> 00:36:58.639
I've been gone, you're gonna see
probably a big difference in pop why he

522
00:36:58.760 --> 00:37:02.840
there most they probably at least about
eleven and twelve. Honey, y'alls awesome,

523
00:37:04.000 --> 00:37:06.639
Well, thank you very much for
your time and talking with me.

524
00:37:06.760 --> 00:37:10.480
Coach. It was a pleasure.
And if if you're free that Friday or

525
00:37:10.599 --> 00:37:15.079
that Wednesday before they play the Kansas
City Chiefs that night, I would love

526
00:37:15.199 --> 00:37:23.880
to talk to you with the pregame
show. Okay, okay, I appreciate

527
00:37:23.920 --> 00:37:27.400
it. All right, Jimmy,
good luck with your other show. Okay,

528
00:37:27.440 --> 00:37:30.559
and we'll see you guys. It
was a pleasure. I love being

529
00:37:30.599 --> 00:37:34.760
a part of fire up there.
You go, all right, you show,

530
00:37:35.039 --> 00:37:37.679
Okay, all right, we're gonna
t now it's just the three of

531
00:37:37.800 --> 00:37:39.400
us, George, Tory and I. All right, George, go ahead

532
00:37:39.400 --> 00:37:45.079
and ask Tory some questions. Yeah, Tory, of course, everybody is

533
00:37:45.199 --> 00:37:47.800
excited in Detroit. I'm sure you've
heard that. There's a lot of hype

534
00:37:47.880 --> 00:37:53.480
here on the Lion side. Jared
Goff. And they finished what just half

535
00:37:53.480 --> 00:37:57.840
a game out of the playoffs or
something like that last year, beat Green

536
00:37:57.920 --> 00:38:00.960
Day and the last day of the
season, and uh, you know,

537
00:38:00.079 --> 00:38:06.599
finished about five hundred and now most
of the pundits are saying that they're better

538
00:38:06.679 --> 00:38:10.199
than Minnesota, They're better than Green
Bay and certainly better than Chicago. What

539
00:38:10.280 --> 00:38:16.239
are your thoughts about Kansas City's first
game opponent, because destroy Lions coming into

540
00:38:16.280 --> 00:38:20.920
town at Arrowhead and it's gonna be
a tough, tough nut to crack,

541
00:38:21.400 --> 00:38:25.639
obviously for Dan Campbell and the Lions, I think, uh, I got

542
00:38:25.719 --> 00:38:30.000
all faith in Dan Campbell and his
staff. I got faith in their players,

543
00:38:31.280 --> 00:38:35.440
but they're not gonna be ready for
what Kansas City has to bring to

544
00:38:35.559 --> 00:38:43.199
the table because you're you as long
as fifteen back there, and he's unstoppable

545
00:38:43.239 --> 00:38:45.599
in a lot of in a lot
of ways. And now, you know,

546
00:38:46.159 --> 00:38:53.639
I really like the way Dan Campbell
runs his his team and get his

547
00:38:53.760 --> 00:38:58.800
team prepared because they you know,
it's for reflection off the head coaches well

548
00:38:58.880 --> 00:39:02.760
a little bit too, uh.
And I like with the route that Detroit

549
00:39:02.960 --> 00:39:09.239
is gone, and I think I
think Golf is actually going to start making

550
00:39:09.320 --> 00:39:13.119
some more noise as he was when
he you know, when he was in

551
00:39:13.199 --> 00:39:15.519
the rams and he had the good
years. I think he'll make a lot

552
00:39:15.599 --> 00:39:20.400
of noise in Detroit. And I
think he's getting comfortable for that. And

553
00:39:20.480 --> 00:39:24.159
they building around him, for sure, they building around him. But you

554
00:39:24.239 --> 00:39:31.760
are not. You are not gonna
stop number fifteen on a night on the

555
00:39:31.840 --> 00:39:37.800
opening night at homes. Yeah,
you know, as quick as good as

556
00:39:37.840 --> 00:39:44.880
Detroits think they are number fifteen gonna
make it even better, you know,

557
00:39:45.000 --> 00:39:47.320
he gonna he gonna turn it up
a whole notch. And I think he

558
00:39:47.519 --> 00:39:52.320
makes things look different because he knows. And I don't think I know Golf

559
00:39:52.440 --> 00:39:59.639
knows, but just being able to
see Patrick Mahomes in his element now is

560
00:40:00.159 --> 00:40:05.880
is very different. It's very different, it is. And another question I

561
00:40:06.000 --> 00:40:08.239
had this is a little bit different
kind of question. But you know,

562
00:40:08.440 --> 00:40:13.559
over the years, and Scott knows
this, there's been I call it like

563
00:40:13.639 --> 00:40:19.199
a little simmering rivalry between Kansas City
and Detroit. I don't know if you

564
00:40:19.280 --> 00:40:22.840
know this tory, but the founder
of the Chiefs, mister Hunt, Lamar

565
00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:27.639
Hunt, once tried to steal the
Thanksgiving Day game away from Detroit, Michigan

566
00:40:28.039 --> 00:40:34.239
and downtown Detroit. And there's always
been this little, this tenseness between the

567
00:40:34.280 --> 00:40:37.599
two organizations. And then, of
course, when he passed away, I

568
00:40:37.679 --> 00:40:43.400
believe his wife took over the chain
and Detroit was a similar situation when mister

569
00:40:43.679 --> 00:40:47.440
William play Ford died. Of course
Martha Firestone Ford took over. And now

570
00:40:47.559 --> 00:40:51.719
she stepped aside. She's in her
nineties and she gave it over to Sheila,

571
00:40:52.199 --> 00:40:58.079
her daughter. So but all that
being said, have you did you

572
00:40:58.159 --> 00:41:00.400
have a chance to meet any of
the Hunt family? I mean, I

573
00:41:00.519 --> 00:41:04.960
know the granddaughter has been in the
news a lot, and the family still

574
00:41:05.239 --> 00:41:10.039
very much the football family that founded
that franchise back in the old AFL days.

575
00:41:10.239 --> 00:41:14.719
Uh do they Did you ever see
any of the family members or that

576
00:41:14.840 --> 00:41:17.280
when they were at practice or anything? I met him? Oh, you

577
00:41:17.400 --> 00:41:23.920
did good. They came and spoke
to the team. Well I'm gonna say

578
00:41:25.000 --> 00:41:30.679
the son did I think it was
the son? Uh? But he spoke

579
00:41:30.760 --> 00:41:36.559
with the team. He stayed around
and talked to everybody. He met her.

580
00:41:36.639 --> 00:41:39.000
He met with us when we was
there as well, and I hate

581
00:41:39.360 --> 00:41:45.639
we I shook his hand, talked
for a minute, talked football. Uh.

582
00:41:45.639 --> 00:41:51.920
I mean he was so receptive,
so receptive. And the Crazy Party

583
00:41:51.960 --> 00:41:57.599
is the chief organization is not a
very big organization. Like they don't have

584
00:41:57.719 --> 00:42:01.639
a whole lot of workers, but
they do have quality workers, if that

585
00:42:01.800 --> 00:42:06.800
makes sense. So they have uh
they don't you know, Like my best

586
00:42:06.880 --> 00:42:08.800
friend told me that, you know, he works with Washington and he said

587
00:42:08.800 --> 00:42:14.400
they got over three thousand employees in
Washington for the commanders. Yeah, and

588
00:42:14.559 --> 00:42:19.400
I know Kansas City doesn't have nowhere
near that. I probably a hundred and

589
00:42:19.519 --> 00:42:22.960
something if that, maybe, you
know what I mean. So, yeah,

590
00:42:22.599 --> 00:42:27.360
you know, but they have it
that everybody. You could tell why

591
00:42:28.519 --> 00:42:35.000
that's such a prestige organization, why
they always been you know on eight plus

592
00:42:35.079 --> 00:42:37.320
plus. Yeah, I look,
I mean, and I was able to

593
00:42:37.360 --> 00:42:43.480
see firsthand because he was very receptive. You know, he wasn't acting too

594
00:42:43.559 --> 00:42:46.280
big to talk to anybody or to
be around. He wanted to talk and

595
00:42:46.960 --> 00:42:51.840
chit chat with everybody, and he
stayed around. Uh, he talked in

596
00:42:51.920 --> 00:42:55.039
the playoffs meeting, he came over
to the dorms afterwards and sat down with

597
00:42:55.199 --> 00:43:00.079
everybody and just relaxing talking. And
you know how coaches sit there and tell

598
00:43:00.119 --> 00:43:05.199
all their little stories and stuff like
this. So that was the funniest thing

599
00:43:05.360 --> 00:43:07.280
ever because I said and listened to
all of them. I wasn't going nowhere

600
00:43:07.440 --> 00:43:14.800
like you know, so, but
it was actually so it was humbling to

601
00:43:14.920 --> 00:43:16.360
see that, you know what I
mean, that you was the owner and

602
00:43:16.400 --> 00:43:20.880
the president of this team, this
organization, and and you were able to

603
00:43:20.920 --> 00:43:23.480
sit and just enjoy talking to everybody. That's good to know. Thank you

604
00:43:23.559 --> 00:43:27.639
for sharing that, Tory. I'm
going to turn it back over to Scott.

605
00:43:28.320 --> 00:43:30.320
Okay, thank you so so,
Tory. Yeah, I guess it's

606
00:43:30.320 --> 00:43:35.440
pretty interesting. You know, my
heart obviously has been with the Detroit Lions.

607
00:43:35.480 --> 00:43:38.280
I've certainly grown up in that organization, and yet this year they had

608
00:43:38.320 --> 00:43:42.519
the opportunity to face the Chiefs,
you know, coming off a very hot

609
00:43:42.760 --> 00:43:46.440
conclusion, and a lot of people
are I'm telling on them possibly to reach

610
00:43:46.519 --> 00:43:52.679
the playoffs. So what that said? Okay, how do you feel that

611
00:43:52.800 --> 00:43:58.599
the Kansas City Chiefs are feeling about
their opening day opponent? I think really

612
00:43:58.719 --> 00:44:01.960
really taking them sishly. And you
know, harl Hard, you have prepared

613
00:44:02.039 --> 00:44:06.880
for a team that could be on
the threshold of perhaps reaching the Proceedson.

614
00:44:07.039 --> 00:44:10.519
I don't think Andy Read would not
take anybody seriously. But adding alliance with

615
00:44:10.599 --> 00:44:15.800
their offensive dimensions, and they're no
longer a team that sneaks up on you

616
00:44:15.280 --> 00:44:17.719
even though they haven't gotten to the
playoffs, or a team that people are

617
00:44:17.760 --> 00:44:22.280
gonna have to pay attention to.
So what's the approach over in the Harry

618
00:44:22.480 --> 00:44:27.880
That's Truman Sports Complex. You know, the crazy party is, UH,

619
00:44:29.840 --> 00:44:36.159
they've already they've been prepped for Detroit. They've been prepped for Detroit, and

620
00:44:36.639 --> 00:44:43.559
uh and they're continuously prepping through preseason
for Detroit. So if he and coach

621
00:44:43.639 --> 00:44:49.159
read don't you don't care who it
is. You know, his thing is

622
00:44:49.239 --> 00:44:55.159
preparation, you know. And when
I say they're taking them very serious,

623
00:44:55.440 --> 00:45:04.440
they're taking them very serious, very
uh And just to see how like you

624
00:45:04.599 --> 00:45:08.960
have to realize like even during camp, uh coach would have some some of

625
00:45:09.119 --> 00:45:14.679
Detroit stuff, we run in some
of Detroit stuff on uh you know from

626
00:45:14.880 --> 00:45:17.760
uh Spags's defense. You know,
he'll run some of this for him and

627
00:45:17.840 --> 00:45:22.639
run some of this. So even
in the midst of preseason games, they're

628
00:45:22.679 --> 00:45:29.960
still preparing for Detroit. And UH, so I think with that coach coach

629
00:45:30.159 --> 00:45:34.840
definitely is looking forward to this,
you know, because he knows that they

630
00:45:34.920 --> 00:45:38.320
had a target on their back.
And every team is every team is gonna

631
00:45:38.320 --> 00:45:42.440
come in there home gred. Just
it's like they're Super Bowl. They're gonna

632
00:45:42.440 --> 00:45:45.440
come out in the end there and
ready to to the dismantle the Kansas City

633
00:45:45.559 --> 00:45:51.440
Chiefs literally, you know what I
mean. So you know, I pray

634
00:45:51.760 --> 00:45:57.639
that all is healthy for on both
sides. But you know, even Detruck's

635
00:45:57.679 --> 00:46:04.440
preparation and I know y'all detruit fans
and you know, Sothan Tory, my

636
00:46:04.639 --> 00:46:07.519
son. I'm not a fan of
nobody. I'm in the media. I'm

637
00:46:07.559 --> 00:46:12.400
expected to be objective regardless of who
the oppointed. I think as time goes

638
00:46:12.440 --> 00:46:15.360
into journalism business or you know,
covered the team and all that, and

639
00:46:15.639 --> 00:46:20.679
I do know that I don't remember
nothing against fans, But when you're a

640
00:46:20.760 --> 00:46:23.639
professional in the business for a long
time, I think the fan hood goes

641
00:46:23.679 --> 00:46:29.199
out of you very quickly when you're
when you're working a game, and it's

642
00:46:29.239 --> 00:46:31.679
a truth when you're working to get
Oh, it really does. I mean,

643
00:46:31.719 --> 00:46:35.000
how many times, George, we've
been taught back in Nuer in the

644
00:46:35.039 --> 00:46:37.559
press box and all that, or
we'll show you the d O O R

645
00:46:37.960 --> 00:46:44.079
okay, so you know, but
that's just how we're trained as hardcore journalists.

646
00:46:44.679 --> 00:46:47.199
So yeah, I believe that who
was a scout quarterback though for the

647
00:46:47.320 --> 00:46:54.039
Chiefs, you know, preparing for
the Lions, Shang Shang number twenty shame

648
00:46:54.119 --> 00:46:57.679
because he can he should but he
can, he can throw in, he

649
00:46:57.760 --> 00:47:01.239
can run, he can throw and
he can run a little bit. But

650
00:47:01.400 --> 00:47:07.559
he's probably he's just a shorter version
of Jared Goff. He's a short,

651
00:47:07.719 --> 00:47:13.159
shorter version of Gart Jared Goff,
but don't get it twisted. Fifteen was

652
00:47:13.239 --> 00:47:19.719
in there like literally he you know, the crazy party is like, you

653
00:47:19.840 --> 00:47:27.679
know when we do walk throughs,
my homes be on defense. Really he

654
00:47:27.800 --> 00:47:30.920
plays the defense he plays. He
plays, he plays the second day when

655
00:47:31.400 --> 00:47:35.280
when the other quarterbacks are going,
he plays the second day. And he

656
00:47:35.360 --> 00:47:39.239
started mixing up the second year calls
and stuff like that to what he's seen

657
00:47:39.400 --> 00:47:45.280
from the defenses right the homes.
Give you his phone number. I got

658
00:47:45.360 --> 00:47:50.480
his phone number. I got his
phone number and everything like because he actually

659
00:47:50.639 --> 00:47:54.199
wanted to uh give me some of
his stuff, like some of his apparel

660
00:47:54.599 --> 00:47:57.519
because he had it. He was
like, cause I want to give you

661
00:47:57.639 --> 00:48:00.400
some apparel and stuff or your left
but he missed giving it to me.

662
00:48:00.719 --> 00:48:06.239
So before we left, before after
the game New Orleans, he gave me

663
00:48:06.320 --> 00:48:08.920
his number and he told me,
I need you to send me your address.

664
00:48:08.960 --> 00:48:12.440
So when I do send it,
I know I'm send it to you,

665
00:48:12.679 --> 00:48:15.440
you know, because I want to
make sure you get it. Yeah,

666
00:48:15.559 --> 00:48:16.760
well, you know, think about
it down the road. I know

667
00:48:16.840 --> 00:48:20.800
you have you have to get there
first, but I wouldn't mind having you

668
00:48:20.920 --> 00:48:23.960
and I and George and Patrick mahomes
on the show together the four of us

669
00:48:24.000 --> 00:48:30.199
outs that's out. That sound wonderful. He definitely be open to it.

670
00:48:30.760 --> 00:48:32.800
Yeah, well good, that's okay. I got news for you is you

671
00:48:32.920 --> 00:48:36.280
know, I don't know if you've
ever told him anything about me, and

672
00:48:36.320 --> 00:48:39.960
I'm not really worried about it,
but but love to certainly talk to him

673
00:48:39.960 --> 00:48:44.159
a little bit, especially with you
there. So but we'll see see what

674
00:48:44.239 --> 00:48:46.599
you can get the job first and
we'll focus on making plans later. Man,

675
00:48:47.079 --> 00:48:51.199
I know what I do with it. I know what I loved about

676
00:48:51.239 --> 00:48:52.760
you is when you're in Kansas City, you're still stay in touch with us

677
00:48:52.840 --> 00:48:57.239
and participated in show, so I
know where your heart and your head was

678
00:48:57.320 --> 00:49:02.199
in anyway. So yeah, George
and Patrick Mahone, I'll promote that really

679
00:49:02.280 --> 00:49:07.159
hard. Yeah, I'm pretty sure
you would have a little bit a few

680
00:49:07.199 --> 00:49:13.239
more questions that a few would be
mildly stating the obvious. If I had

681
00:49:13.360 --> 00:49:15.880
less, they told me the MotorCity
of mild Mouth. If I had more,

682
00:49:15.960 --> 00:49:17.559
they'll continue with my existing name,
which by the way, I did

683
00:49:17.639 --> 00:49:22.920
trademark. Not so god stuff.
Man, I'm so probud of my boy,

684
00:49:23.079 --> 00:49:27.039
I really am. That's a good
opportunity to bring it back on.

685
00:49:27.239 --> 00:49:30.880
I think a lot of people like
to know what your journey is, how

686
00:49:30.960 --> 00:49:34.159
far you've come, but where you
gonna go. Because when we brought you

687
00:49:34.320 --> 00:49:37.719
on Sports Exchange on another network,
you know, you were really, you

688
00:49:37.800 --> 00:49:42.840
know, trying to find your footing
a little bit. And I think it's

689
00:49:42.880 --> 00:49:45.480
so cool that not only have you
found it, but you've been persistent at

690
00:49:45.519 --> 00:49:49.079
what you're doing. Now. I
think, folks, that's a lesson to

691
00:49:49.119 --> 00:49:53.079
be learned here that if you're persistent
in what you're doing, Okay, then

692
00:49:53.400 --> 00:49:58.199
it's inevitable things will go your way, but you've got to work hard and

693
00:49:58.280 --> 00:50:05.800
you've got to stay with it.
Yes, absolutely, Any final questions for

694
00:50:05.880 --> 00:50:08.960
you and Tori, Well, well, I just I want to say thank

695
00:50:09.000 --> 00:50:15.320
you first of all, Tori,
because you've confirmed my beliefs, and that

696
00:50:15.639 --> 00:50:21.280
is that Patrick Maholmes is good for
football. He's good for Kansas City,

697
00:50:21.360 --> 00:50:24.079
he's good for America. I mean, you know, I look at him

698
00:50:24.159 --> 00:50:29.840
and I still see this excitement in
him and this raw talent, and you

699
00:50:29.880 --> 00:50:32.880
know he's He's not like Tom Brady. They're all different, Jared Goff,

700
00:50:34.159 --> 00:50:37.599
I mean, every quarterback is different. But in Patrick, even though I'm

701
00:50:37.679 --> 00:50:40.719
not a Chiefs fan. I see
this guy that's a professional, yet he's

702
00:50:40.840 --> 00:50:45.000
having fun, he's staying in shape, he loves to be around people,

703
00:50:45.159 --> 00:50:50.599
and he loves his teammates. And
again, I'm not trying to just butter

704
00:50:50.679 --> 00:50:55.559
the guy up, but but he's
been truly good for the NFL. Well,

705
00:50:55.599 --> 00:50:59.559
I mean, he's a guy that's
hard to root against. Regardless,

706
00:51:00.079 --> 00:51:05.159
I always wanted to see. I've
always been a firm believer that the athletes

707
00:51:05.239 --> 00:51:08.679
individuals you root for are the ones
that are humble and that work hard.

708
00:51:09.480 --> 00:51:15.199
There was no way in my mind. And if you're humble and you work

709
00:51:15.280 --> 00:51:20.679
hard, you gotta root for him. Why not. Well, you don't

710
00:51:20.719 --> 00:51:24.119
see Padrick Mahomes getting into off the
field incidents at all. I'm sure he

711
00:51:24.280 --> 00:51:29.119
probably cringes when every player wretch or
career doing it. I mean, but

712
00:51:29.199 --> 00:51:32.639
at least he knows in his mind
he was raised right and obviously couldn't have

713
00:51:32.960 --> 00:51:37.559
ended up with a better coach than
he did with Andy Reid. And obviously

714
00:51:37.599 --> 00:51:42.079
you're finding out because it seems like
you've developed a very good relationship with Andy

715
00:51:42.159 --> 00:51:45.679
Reid, like a father's son connection. Did he ever feel in some ways

716
00:51:45.719 --> 00:51:50.760
that you felt like he was a
father figure to you. I always I

717
00:51:50.840 --> 00:51:53.800
mean from the time I talked to
him, first time I talked to him

718
00:51:53.840 --> 00:51:58.119
and the first time I saw him
and met him in person, you know,

719
00:51:58.280 --> 00:52:01.800
because he's always asking and I even
being there every day, he was

720
00:52:01.880 --> 00:52:07.840
asking, are you having fun?
You enjoying like he wants? He wants

721
00:52:07.880 --> 00:52:12.239
you to enjoy working like And that's
what I told Coach and Naggy, I

722
00:52:12.280 --> 00:52:14.760
said, Man, do we ever
work around here? Because I feel like,

723
00:52:15.920 --> 00:52:19.679
you know, like I don't feel
like we're working like I'm just enjoying

724
00:52:19.840 --> 00:52:27.320
every aspect about it because it's all
of this legendary status that's around and he

725
00:52:27.840 --> 00:52:32.760
overlooking and overseeing everything, you know, So everybody, it's amazing to see

726
00:52:34.599 --> 00:52:37.400
and to understand, like I said, because a lot of coaches don't,

727
00:52:37.400 --> 00:52:43.880
you know, and his age don't
actually sit up and install plays like that.

728
00:52:44.079 --> 00:52:47.159
Y'all don't understand you were he up
for a wow, going through every

729
00:52:47.280 --> 00:52:54.119
single little detail on these plays.
And you're talking about probably fifteen to sixteen

730
00:52:54.239 --> 00:52:59.639
or twenty some plays in the eat
in a day, and he's up doing

731
00:52:59.719 --> 00:53:04.320
it like it ain't It ain't the
young coaches. It's it's coach read you

732
00:53:04.400 --> 00:53:07.719
know what I mean, cause he
calling it out. He going through everything.

733
00:53:07.920 --> 00:53:13.400
So he keeps everything. He keeps
everything wonderful, like he keeps everything

734
00:53:13.599 --> 00:53:19.239
flowing. Yeah, he keeps everything. Many did you see many Chiefs alumni

735
00:53:19.400 --> 00:53:22.519
there during your time over there?
They did? They that they had They

736
00:53:22.639 --> 00:53:28.400
had several doing practice. They had
a lot of they brought some of the

737
00:53:28.519 --> 00:53:32.639
older, older guys out like wheel
shiels and stuff like that too. Uh.

738
00:53:32.760 --> 00:53:37.320
So they'll come in and then they
enjoy practice. They make sure they're

739
00:53:37.360 --> 00:53:42.480
good taking care of and then after
it was they'll talk to the playoffs and

740
00:53:42.679 --> 00:53:45.360
uh talk to everybody and stuff like
that too. So I wasn't able to

741
00:53:45.440 --> 00:53:49.440
take no pictures with him because I
ain't ever take my phone on the field

742
00:53:49.480 --> 00:53:54.159
for practice. But uh, I
definitely uh when I say it was,

743
00:53:54.239 --> 00:53:58.960
it was a probably about three times
doing KEMP. You had a whole lot

744
00:53:59.039 --> 00:54:02.000
of different old Chiefs. You know
what I'm saying. Come back, dude,

745
00:54:02.079 --> 00:54:07.559
Yeah and say hi to everybody and
just enjoy it a day of being

746
00:54:07.599 --> 00:54:14.159
at there. That's really cool.
We're going to end it on that note.

747
00:54:14.280 --> 00:54:16.840
Obviously, this is a story that
we'll keep tracking and I'll obviously you

748
00:54:16.880 --> 00:54:22.239
know we're gonna be bringing on more
and more shows because I've added now Pundance

749
00:54:22.280 --> 00:54:27.599
Pundit and Pundance View to my and
Jacob Christner. Obviously, you'll be one

750
00:54:27.639 --> 00:54:32.119
of the first guests on Pundance View, which is a one on one type

751
00:54:32.159 --> 00:54:36.239
of show. He'll have an opportunity, and Jacob is a really talented guy.

752
00:54:36.800 --> 00:54:38.280
I'm glad on here. I think
you've got a taste of it one

753
00:54:38.320 --> 00:54:42.519
way on it earlier. But what
that said, you know it's like to

754
00:54:42.599 --> 00:54:45.480
have you on tonight's edition of Fire
Up. Especially, it's so cool about

755
00:54:45.519 --> 00:54:51.800
it because it is the final week
of the preseason and you've lived a training

756
00:54:51.880 --> 00:54:55.039
camp before. I remember many years
ago I had an opportunity to live at

757
00:54:55.079 --> 00:55:00.280
training camp with the Miami Dolphins and
Don Shula and it was unbelievable. But

758
00:55:00.360 --> 00:55:04.159
now that you're living in this day
and age, one thing I forgot to

759
00:55:04.280 --> 00:55:06.920
ask you. You know you have
Rick coach for your number. Does he

760
00:55:06.960 --> 00:55:08.639
ever say call me if you ever
need me for advice or anything like that?

761
00:55:10.079 --> 00:55:15.599
You tell me every time make sure
you keep in that is that words?

762
00:55:15.440 --> 00:55:22.079
Yeah, So I try not to
bother them, but I'm bother I'm

763
00:55:22.079 --> 00:55:24.079
coming up in a minute through the
season, so he might he already know

764
00:55:24.199 --> 00:55:29.079
that we're gonna bust out laughing when
I started texting, because I always tried

765
00:55:29.119 --> 00:55:32.280
to texting a little funny stuff to
give him to laugh or something like that.

766
00:55:32.639 --> 00:55:37.440
But he he definitely wants me to
keep in contact with him and his

767
00:55:37.519 --> 00:55:42.079
staff because everybody gave me their number
and stuff. So I'm definitely going to

768
00:55:42.159 --> 00:55:45.760
do that because I kind of know
that's what it's about to, you know,

769
00:55:45.039 --> 00:55:50.360
and keeping contacting. You know,
first thing comes up, you know,

770
00:55:51.199 --> 00:55:54.159
opportunity knocks me, I can open
the door. Well, what I'm

771
00:55:54.199 --> 00:55:59.679
gonna do, just so you know, is I'm gonna text you this version

772
00:55:59.760 --> 00:56:01.920
of show and then you can if
you want to afford it to him.

773
00:56:01.960 --> 00:56:07.440
Tell him that we're really impressively he's
doing and we're very thankful that he's giving

774
00:56:07.480 --> 00:56:09.800
you an opportunity, and let him
know. You know that I'll do everything

775
00:56:09.840 --> 00:56:14.440
in my power to promote anything I
can, but you let him know.

776
00:56:14.639 --> 00:56:16.320
And I don't care whether he comes
on the show or not, although I'd

777
00:56:16.360 --> 00:56:20.199
like to get it. Don't get
me wrong, this isn't about me and

778
00:56:20.280 --> 00:56:22.599
any self gain. Just let them
know that, you know, I'm here

779
00:56:22.719 --> 00:56:25.519
to help you anyway I can,
and one of these days it would be

780
00:56:25.639 --> 00:56:29.679
nice to catch up for them when
the situation possessed. So I'm not looking

781
00:56:29.719 --> 00:56:32.440
for anything out of it except you
have a permanent opportunity to work there and

782
00:56:32.760 --> 00:56:37.159
gain and if our platform help you
get there a little bit, that's nicely

783
00:56:37.239 --> 00:56:39.400
on the cake. So I'll test
you the show and then feel free to

784
00:56:39.440 --> 00:56:44.079
afford to him in the homes and
we'll let the rest play itself out.

785
00:56:44.239 --> 00:56:46.920
So we're definitely don't do it.
You know, I haven't put it out

786
00:56:46.960 --> 00:56:52.119
there. I know you well.
Listen, Corey. I loved you from

787
00:56:52.119 --> 00:56:54.719
the beginning when we were doing it, and the fact that we've been so

788
00:56:54.880 --> 00:57:00.239
loyal to each other all the time
just makes you just an unbelievable son of

789
00:57:00.320 --> 00:57:02.800
mine. And that's all. I
really value what you mean to me,

790
00:57:04.320 --> 00:57:07.480

finally get to know you, I mean

791
00:57:07.599 --> 00:57:12.960
