00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:10.560
You're listening to the downbeat on ninety
seven to one The Freak in thirty minutes.

2
00:00:11.439 --> 00:00:15.359
I've got a company in my crosshairs, a place that we've spent a

3
00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:20.120
lot of time at in our life, probably got and they've made a decision

4
00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:25.079
based on something that I disagree with. I'm gonna rip them at seven thirty.

5
00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:29.640
And I got a lot of birthdays, stay too, don't get them,

6
00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:32.560
Kevy, I'm sorry we didn't get
the birthdays. No, we were

7
00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:36.960
having good conversation. We can scud
them. Why is there are a bunch

8
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:42.759
of k Adams pictures on my computer? Oh oh okay, soll dition some

9
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:45.960
sports now. We've got a picture
today, including TJ. Miller, the

10
00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:49.920
comedian, joining us at nine oh
five. And I was told that he

11
00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:53.799
likes stand up comedy and peanut butter. He's got his own peanut butter and

12
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:58.039
hot sauce. You may know him
from Silicon Valley, amongst other things,

13
00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:03.960
the Emoji movie. TJ. Miller
calls in at nine oh five. Um,

14
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:19.920
all right, it's just sportsman now
Sports at seven. If you've miscalculated

15
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:26.599
the potency and dosage of your evening
sleepy time, Gummy and spent the entire

16
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:30.359
night dreaming of fighting dragons to the
soundtrack of Woodstock. Then maybe you woke

17
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:34.280
up in a haze wondering if you
needed an ambulance or not. If any

18
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:40.040
of the stuff happened to you,
you probably need Soroy Industries, gummy anecdote,

19
00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:46.680
antidote, one magical spray. Then
you can face the day free from

20
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:51.640
stuporus hazes and macab morg memories,
and remember, kids, the immortal words

21
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:56.040
of Nancy Reagan. Just say no, Just say no. Thank you,

22
00:01:56.319 --> 00:02:00.840
Insurs gummy antidote. Yeah, it'll
level you right out. It worked for

23
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:05.519
me. Yeah, our proprietary blend. Before we get to the full of

24
00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:08.479
sports content, would you like to
hear Danny and I's interaction with DoorDash driver

25
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:14.520
Gladys. That was funny, but
yeah, our breakfast got delivered, so

26
00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:20.240
k t rolled the audio. How
to go? Here's Gladys? Okay?

27
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:25.960
Oh? Yes, around and around

00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:30.240

00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:36.360
Kevin, Yes, that's all that
you. This is Danny. I'm Kevin,

30
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:40.120
Kevin. T oh, I can't
keep the whole. I can't have

31
00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:46.599
the whole bag. Wow, what
an amazing amount of food we've gotten.

32
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:53.039
How Gladys, what you doing today? Continue today? Yeah, never stop,

33
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:58.759
not stopping. Yeah, be careful
out there with theirs. Okay,

34
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:01.719
take care if out there. Gladys, love you, we love you.

35
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:13.840
I love you. She didn't say
it back. Whoa, I'm gonna give

36
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:24.560
me some of that chicken bitch dance. She was very nice. Thank you.

37
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:29.439
Kevin tried to take the whole door
dash bag, like the insulated bag

38
00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:31.560
that she probably had to pay for. He just grabs the hold and she's

39
00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:38.360
like no, no, all of
Farmer's branch deliveries, three strikes on,

40
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:42.039
telling her your love her. I
know there's nothing. He said. Good

41
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:46.919
luck with the squirrels out there today. Be careful, be careful everywhere right

42
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:50.800
now this time of year. I
guess, well, thank you and well

43
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:54.439
done down there, and thank you, Gladys. Probably a listener, definitely

44
00:03:54.879 --> 00:04:00.759
definitely buy it. Yeah, yeah, there's a big article in Sports Illustrated.

45
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:04.360
In Sports Illustrated, a lot of
people were mad that the Rangers weren't

46
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:08.199
on the cover. I don't really
know how that works anymore, don't care.

47
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:13.159
But they have this whole series and
it's like, how does this work?

48
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:17.240
And they did an article on They
sent a couple of riders down and

49
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:21.199
said, spend a week on the
sideline of an NFL game. Now.

50
00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:26.759
They said they're hoping it'd be a
very normal NFL game. It turned out

51
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:30.240
it was the game where the Dolphins
beat the Broncos like seventy to twenty,

52
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:36.000
So it's kind of historical now funny
part of the article as it gets going.

53
00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:40.720
He's like Mike McDaniel, the head
coach of the Dolphins, and for

54
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:44.959
those that don't know, he's kind
of the stoner talking guys. He's unconventional.

55
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:48.800
He's the the early thirties and if
you saw him, you'd probably go,

56
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:55.240
there's a nerd. But he's very
awesome and he started his career as

57
00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:58.560
a ball boy for the Broncos.
So if anyone needs to know about the

58
00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:01.000
commitment that it takes to have a
full sideline and how much of all of

59
00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:05.399
that stuff means on a day to
day operation, he would know they care

60
00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:09.639
about the little guy. One quote
that he had in there said people don't

61
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:15.319
understand the commitment of what it is
to work a seven day week. I

62
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:16.800
was like, you know what a
lot of people don't work seven day weeks.

63
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:23.720
The people that do are generally oil
field types. But what is that,

64
00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:26.720
Yeah, working all for ten days
on ten days off, right,

65
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:29.680
is that how it goes? What
type of thing? Two weeks on,

66
00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:33.360
two weeks off. We're not oil
men like you are, Kevin Well from

67
00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:36.959
your ranch and only. But they
started, they kind of broke down a

68
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:43.160
lot of different jobs of different people, like Patrick, the tech guy.

69
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:46.920
The tech guy shows up. Let's
say it's a noon kickoff. He shows

70
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:50.279
up at eight am. He finds
the guy at the purple hat. It's

71
00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:56.600
the NFL league representative who's got all
the tablets. And then Patrick is there

72
00:05:56.639 --> 00:05:59.759
making sure that they meet all the
tablets they need. For example, they

73
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:03.199
don't like to have the stylus attached
to their tablets. That's right, pre

74
00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:09.920
arranged stylus, no string, right, But if it's cold weather, they

75
00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:14.199
do like to have the stylus attached
because the players were the players coaches were

76
00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:17.480
gloves to keep their hands warm.
So he's got to make sure that all

77
00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:20.360
of those were But here's what I
didn't know about that. I didn't know

78
00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:24.439
these team was only allowed to have
sixteen tablets per game. There's like a

79
00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:29.800
hard set rule on that. Yeah. I overall I found this whole article,

80
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:31.720
excuse me, incredibly interesting and it
was little things like that that I

81
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:35.240
didn't know. You know, we
watched so much football and it's just this

82
00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:39.959
controlled chaos that you don't really appreciate
or even know where to start on a

83
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:43.000
sideline. There's so many jobs that
were I was kind of unaware of.

84
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:46.360
You're right, somebody in charge of
these tablets and the league regulations of how

85
00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:49.360
many you can have and what they're
for, which is essentially all twenty two

86
00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:54.079
cams. And they said they have
two coaches that want the paper. They

87
00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:58.560
want the paper still the photographs,
like I don't want your tablet. No

88
00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:04.000
tablets need analog information. So there's
two coaches that still want the printed photographs

89
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:08.240
of the all twenty two instead of
the tablets. And you know that's a

90
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:12.560
collective side from Patrick and his team, but you never know it spark off

91
00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:15.040
the Mitchell report. Well you're at
it there, pailf. Yeah, and

92
00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:19.240
they say, within what five seconds
of a play happening, there's a printer

93
00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:24.399
on the sidelines and they can print
this staple it all together. They've got

94
00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:28.360
a runner and they run it to
these coaches for the All twenty two,

95
00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:31.519
which is fascinating. There's a camera
directly above the fifty, right they say

96
00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:34.839
that, and I'm like, yeah, at the fifty Okay, not directly

97
00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:39.720
above obviously at that at hard Rock
Stadium when there's nothing up there and then

98
00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:43.399
a camera and jin zone. I
don't know. I just among the many

99
00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:46.879
things I learned in this article,
that was one that I found very interesting.

100
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:48.240
It makes me think that they've got
a couple of old guys in their

101
00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:53.240
coaching staff, and if they just
give those guys, they could move away

102
00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:56.879
from having to have a printer to
what it's said liked. And they made

103
00:07:56.920 --> 00:08:00.720
a point to say that the names
of those people that it printed out,

104
00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:05.959
yeah, out of deference to them, they did not choose to have their

105
00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:09.000
names disclosed, I guess, or
the article didn't whatever. Man. The

106
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:15.759
thing I got out of this is
basically, these teams sixteen seventeen weeks out

107
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:22.279
of the year, have a big
production, big budget movie to make every

108
00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:24.120
week, yes, and six days
to prepare for it. Yes. I

109
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:30.680
think that's well put. It's incredible
the amount of moving parts and just anonymous

110
00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:33.320
figures involved with doing this, and
you know what, every one, you

111
00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:35.080
know what as far as the sport
goes, like, there's only sixteen games,

112
00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:37.960
there are one hundred and sixty two
in Baseball sixteen, so you already

113
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:43.519
know how like the condensed stress of
these sixteen how much it means for the

114
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:48.480
team, But then apply that to
everyone the entire theatrical performance, however you

115
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:54.080
want to put it. Yes,
it's amazing. Everyone was making sure that

116
00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:58.399
they go to every link imaginable to
make sure that if something screwed up,

117
00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:03.840
like we lossy, to make sure
that nothing screws up because of how much

118
00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:07.200
weight it has if they do screw
it up, and then they're the ones

119
00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:09.960
to blame. Yep. Like the
guy was talking about the Wi Fi connection

120
00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:13.519
and he's like and he told the
story, this is a big guy.

121
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:18.159
I remember this game last year was
Week seventeen or eighteen. The Jets and

122
00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:26.120
the Dolphins lost their in headset communication
and he had to go through a checklist

123
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:30.960
head of NFL headquarters or whatever on
like here's how we're gonna do this,

124
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:33.559
and then here's a walkie talkie that
we could use as our third backup option,

125
00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:39.080
and to make sure that they can't
talk, because that's the thing that's

126
00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:43.919
never talked about enough to me,
the coach at fifteen seconds on the play

127
00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:46.120
clock, the coach and quarterback can't
talk. I mean, the coach can't

128
00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:50.799
talk to the quarterback anymore. I
don't know if you're Peyton Manning talking about

129
00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:52.720
this on the on the Manning cast, and he's like, I always want

130
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:54.840
the coach to shut up, like, just tell me the play and then

131
00:09:56.759 --> 00:10:00.200
don't don't be in my ear.
But I imagine with some quarter back,

132
00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:03.360
especially younger quarterbacks, they are getting
a coach telling them here comes the linebacker

133
00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:07.879
or watch out for that, and
then fifteen seconds goop it cuts off.

134
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:09.759
So msually have to do that with
a walkie talkie. And this guy's talking

135
00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:15.240
about because the Wi Fi could be
a problem because during COVID they spread out

136
00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:18.120
the benches, so the sideline got
a little bigger and longer, and it

137
00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:22.080
wouldn't reach and it wouldn't reach all
the way down as long as far as

138
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:24.879
you might need it to go time. It was just crazy to me,

139
00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:31.399
And we never think about that when
we're watching guy hit, guy tackle,

140
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:35.840
tackle score, you know, when
we watch our lovely football, we're talking

141
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:41.759
about this article that came out in
Sports Illustrated I guess yesterday. So it's

142
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:46.919
basically about what the hell goes on
on the sidelines, behind the scenes to

143
00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:50.960
get from basically Monday through Sunday in
an NFL game. They followed the Dolphins

144
00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:56.679
in particular on this the week that
they beat Dinver seventy to twenty. And

145
00:10:56.679 --> 00:11:01.120
I want to ask you, guys, this, the the job that seems

146
00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:05.039
like the most demanding and difficult is
probably the one that pays the least,

147
00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:09.039
and that would be the assistant freaking
equipment manager. Yeah. He was the

148
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:13.039
last guy that I think so yeah, and just oh my god, the

149
00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:20.279
amount of responsibility, not only the
amount of the diligent checklist this guy must

150
00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:24.600
go through every week, every day, numerous departments that he has to deal

151
00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:30.080
with, but the having to be
fluid with requests. Yeah, because you

152
00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:31.440
know how high maintenance some of these
players can be. Yo, man,

153
00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:35.879
I like that hoodie that I had
last Tuesday, you know, the green

154
00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:39.120
one with the thing on it.
I needed like three of those. Yeah,

155
00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:41.080
what, okay, let me write
that down. He's got on a

156
00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:45.240
sea of face masks and straps and
he's like, yeah, sure, let

157
00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:46.559
me get you that. But what
I found interesting, I think is what

158
00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:50.919
Kevin just brought up is how all
these people, every one of them,

159
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:56.440
all their job is to make that
kid think of nothing but what he has

160
00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:03.279
to do on the field. Yeah, and they don't like almost by default.

161
00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:05.679
I'm like, oh my god,
I got some nineteen year old who

162
00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:09.039
thinks he's the king of the world, you know, But they don't even

163
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:13.519
think like that. They think like, how do I do? What do

164
00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:16.759
I do to make this guy's life
easier on him? Whether it be the

165
00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:20.080
perfect tape job on his wrists or
his ankles? And they have the girl

166
00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:22.960
they talked about for that. She's
like, if they don't, if they're

167
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:26.000
not hurt, or if they don't
even need it. They just want to

168
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:28.120
look good, yes, she said. And yes, some of them just

169
00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:31.159
have tape because they think it looks
cool. It means nothing, and she

170
00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:33.000
said that's part of a performance.
If they feel like they look good,

171
00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:37.759
maybe they'll perform back. Yep,
that's very Ian golf attitude. You know

172
00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:41.200
it look good, play good.
The attention that is given to these players

173
00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:46.759
on any given day is next to
probably royalty. And I thought of,

174
00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:50.279
you know, because I'm watching the
crown right now for the first time through

175
00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:56.200
and uh, just the amount of
hand servants that those people that monarchy has

176
00:12:56.519 --> 00:13:01.240
were. Basically, the guy is
holding you, handing you a toothbrush that's

177
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:05.240
already pre loaded pre dust in water
however you prefer it, and holding a

178
00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:09.360
bowl under you your face to spit
in, and you hand him the tooth

179
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:13.799
brest. Basically, all you're doing
is brushing your teeth and spitting and everything

180
00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:16.240
else is taken care of. It's
kind of like that mentality for these guys

181
00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:20.120
to make sure they are so catered
to. So, like you said,

182
00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:24.399
all they're thinking about is effing footput
to that and his second phone. That

183
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:28.720
same guy you brought up, the
assistant equipment manager, you know, he's

184
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:31.320
like he's scouring the sidelines making sure
everybody's good. He's like, if he

185
00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:37.000
sees a shoe untied, he will
run over and tie it. And he's

186
00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:41.159
like, yeah, they could tie
their own shoe, but that's two full

187
00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:46.960
seconds that they're not thinking about what
a coach talking or what they should be

188
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:54.840
preparing for. And that's like insane
and it might be stupid, but if

189
00:13:54.879 --> 00:14:00.000
you can justify that. Dude made
one play in one second, the change

190
00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:03.279
is the result of a regular season
game that got to the playoffs, that

191
00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:05.519
you won the super Bowl. I
mean, like you can kind of justify

192
00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:09.240
it like that, like why wouldn't
we do everything to make their lives just

193
00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:13.159
a fraction of a percent easier?
And that that's the thing is when you

194
00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:18.519
have teams that pay that much attention
to detail, that give them that if

195
00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:26.360
it increases their percentage of winning or
something good happening for them, that's what

196
00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:28.960
it's all about. It's putting yourself
in the best possible scenario to be you

197
00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:33.399
know, to be successful. And
I mean those metrics, once you add

198
00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:37.240
them up across the board, it
might maybe it equals a win, right

199
00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:41.879
it does, which then equates to
making the playoffs or not, which then

200
00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:43.960
equates to more revenue being earned.
So yeah, they get money. It

201
00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:48.000
sounds and things like that, which
I think is important to like you're playing

202
00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:52.320
for something there. It does sound
a little bit more money would go to

203
00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:56.679
the entire staff as well, but
like that's all Like the commendment level is

204
00:14:56.720 --> 00:15:00.279
always very cool to see on some
of this when they're talking about do what

205
00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:03.639
I have to do? I remember
the guy who is the uh the gay

206
00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:07.600
basically had to handle it services in
the building. It was like, the

207
00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:11.039
problem is some coaches stay at the
office till two am. Some coaches come

208
00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:15.519
in to work at three am,
and if something's wrong, I gotta be

209
00:15:15.639 --> 00:15:20.200
there. And if oh, I
got to fix this thing. But Hewlett

210
00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:24.759
Packard can't come in and fix this
computer at this time. I've got to

211
00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:26.399
be there and meet him at one
thirty am to make it work, find

212
00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:31.720
a find a way. It does
not matter because they got to have their

213
00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:37.600
stuff. I like the assistant athletic
trainer, the girl, and she was

214
00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:43.279
talking about just kind of knowing which
players prefer pedialyte versus which players prefer pickle

215
00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:48.120
juice when they're cramping up. And
then she talked about also they don't players

216
00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:50.480
don't really care about what color the
gatar ade is, but they can't use

217
00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:54.639
red, and the reason being because
red could be confused as a stink,

218
00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:58.960
as a blood stain if it's billed
on you. And some players are allergic

219
00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:00.960
to the die. I don't know. There must have been one player,

220
00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:08.759
probably the kicker. Yeah, Jason
Sanders, Thanks, I'm allergic, Okay,

221
00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:12.440
Jason, we'll have something else then. Jason had to stay home from

222
00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:18.879
school a lot. Jason, the
guy who talked about the coach is getting

223
00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:22.240
jammed up. That was interesting to
me, and we talked a little bit

224
00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:29.360
about it, but he said that
headset troubleshooting isn't his main job. He's

225
00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:33.159
got to do the thing. And
this is what I think Julie's husband used

226
00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:37.679
to do this with the Stars,
the video coach, the amount of crap

227
00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:41.720
that they have to piece together from
a data standpoint, and I've seen this

228
00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:45.200
firsthand. Me and Kavanaugh used to
go up to the Dallas Stars facility thanks

229
00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:49.639
to our friend Brian Rodis, and
we will watch anything the Cowboys had and

230
00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:53.919
it was amazing. Okay, so
let's just go to the twenty sixteen draft.

231
00:16:55.320 --> 00:16:56.720
I want to watch tape of Dak
Prescott. Okay. I want to

232
00:16:56.759 --> 00:17:00.039
see every touchdown pass Dak Prescott through
this shar Well, hit a button.

233
00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:03.200
There they are. It's thirty plays. Yep. I want to see every

234
00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:07.480
interception. Here they are. Here's
eleven plays. I want to see every

235
00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:11.920
incompletion. I't to see every completion
over twenty five yards, every screen pass,

236
00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:15.240
you know, every deep But it's
more than that. He said that

237
00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:18.920
within five minutes after the game.
He he could McDaniel could do every bit

238
00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:22.880
of that for the game that was
just played. But they're doing advanced scouting

239
00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:26.000
too, and he will be in
the bus thinking about the next opponent.

240
00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:29.400
Yeah, and he's like, I
want to see every time our next opponent's

241
00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:33.480
defensive tackle lined up in the one
technique versus the three technique. Crazy,

242
00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:36.759
and they have this all searchable.
Again. He's like, I might need

243
00:17:36.799 --> 00:17:38.200
it might take me a few minutes, but I can. I can have

244
00:17:38.279 --> 00:17:42.799
that delivered quicker than you'd imagine.
It's it's amazing, Like I remember watching

245
00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:47.519
we can go watch players at the
Star or Valley Ranch even way back in

246
00:17:47.559 --> 00:17:51.559
the day, and offensive linemen and
be like, well here he played left

247
00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:55.079
tackle and left guard. Hit the
button here, all this snaps the left

248
00:17:55.079 --> 00:17:57.039
tackle. Yep, here all of
snaps the left guard. All therefore,

249
00:17:57.079 --> 00:18:00.200
you just it was so easy to
find. I didn't put together. And

250
00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:07.319
they have a league wide hub that
they have to submit all their own video

251
00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:12.240
to within a few minutes after the
game. I think that every league,

252
00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:17.559
every team in the league has access
to so it's all shared. I don't

253
00:18:17.559 --> 00:18:21.400
know if that's checks and balances to
prove that you're not shooting the sideline and

254
00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:25.640
getting you know, stealing whatever or
or what it is or just for fairness.

255
00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:29.279
Oh, it's just stuff I didn't
know. Man, fascinating. And

256
00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:32.559
the these houses didn't have like a
big staff either. I mean said he

257
00:18:32.599 --> 00:18:36.480
has staff of three that as far
as filming, that filmed the play from

258
00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:41.720
each angle. So like this do
is might help explain why. I mean,

259
00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:45.440
look at like sports and played sports
growing up on stuff. But in

260
00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:49.799
sixth grade the year before junior high, but I was, you know,

261
00:18:49.839 --> 00:18:53.039
a manager. So there was a
bunch of us who are water boys.

262
00:18:53.079 --> 00:18:56.759
We're in junior high, but we
were managers for the for the Varscoal.

263
00:18:56.039 --> 00:19:02.039
Is this going to apply to the
NFL? Well, we'll see. Well,

264
00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:03.160
for each home game we had a
rolls, but for each road game

265
00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:06.480
we would draw out of a hat
where our rolls were. You always wanted

266
00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:08.279
to be the ball boy. You
just follow the ref all the day and

267
00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:11.799
just make sure that the balls are
dry and all that stuff. Water boy.

268
00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:18.759
You didn't want to do water boy
that sucked towels just fine. There

269
00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:21.680
could be the cords that you if
you're running the cords or spasical making sure

270
00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:25.920
the coaches don't get tripped up.
But for home games, I went up

271
00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:30.480
in the big like an electric company's
cherry picker. You know. They would

272
00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:37.279
take me up before each game.
I get into the cherry pickers sixth grade,

273
00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:41.200
Kevo. But I would film the
game so there was an All twenty

274
00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:44.160
two look. I mean, dude, in small towns, not every school

275
00:19:44.200 --> 00:19:49.039
is getting an All twenty two look
like that from like behind the uprights.

276
00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:52.880
So I'm going up and man,
I tell you what a few times that

277
00:19:53.359 --> 00:19:56.680
if they kick a field goal with
extra point, the balls coming up at

278
00:19:56.680 --> 00:20:00.440
you while I'm filming it. But
I would film that and the coach would

279
00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:03.000
have it after the game. And
that coach really liked me because of that,

280
00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:07.400
because I was giving him good film
copy to look at. And then

281
00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:10.680
he left and went to a different
town. So my hopes and dreams of

282
00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:15.880
been quarterback were shot because he took
another job. You didn't consider transferring.

283
00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:19.839
I did not. Where do you
go, Steven? I'm sorry? Uh

284
00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:23.440
at the West sweet Water? Sweet
Water, Sweetwater. That's the home of

285
00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:30.200
the rattlesnake Round up, Mikey Yanks, What about the protector? Larry Jeriga

286
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:36.279
sixty four to three pounds. He's
the security guard. But home games he

287
00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:41.519
takes Mike McDaniel's wife and kids to
the game. Going away games, he's

288
00:20:41.559 --> 00:20:45.519
there like on the field. And
his advice was, if there's a guy

289
00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:49.119
that ever runs on the field security
guarding one oh one, let him run

290
00:20:49.119 --> 00:20:52.799
for a little bit, let him
get tired, and then go get him.

291
00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:55.599
Yeah, oh that was great.
And what do you have like twenty

292
00:20:55.640 --> 00:21:00.160
seconds of burst? Yeah, basically, and then that energy bar depletes and

293
00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:03.799
he's don't don't check an easy play, don't chase, wants to run and

294
00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:07.000
right out of player, don't chase. That's interesting in the level of alcohol

295
00:21:07.079 --> 00:21:10.160
just disascerbates. Oh yeah, the
whole process. But I like that.

296
00:21:10.279 --> 00:21:14.200
Yeah, because he has all these
jobs. But on game day, a

297
00:21:14.240 --> 00:21:17.640
few hours before the game, he
goes to Mike McDaniel's house and picks up

298
00:21:17.680 --> 00:21:21.640
his family and he's like, you
know, it seems odd, but the

299
00:21:21.839 --> 00:21:26.079
last thing on a coach's mind needs
to be are my kids in good hands?

300
00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:30.480
Do they make it to the whatever? Everything is just to clean the

301
00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:34.720
minds of those who have to focus
for that three hours. Being a coach

302
00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:40.519
is like having a double life.
I think that was yeah, and this

303
00:21:40.599 --> 00:21:44.039
may be where you're going during the
season. That One other thing that I

304
00:21:44.039 --> 00:21:48.000
wanted to bring up is the twenty
four to seven availability that most all of

305
00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:52.640
these people have to have that are
involved. You're always on call and you

306
00:21:52.759 --> 00:21:56.200
better pick up your phone if it's
during the season. Yeah, including that

307
00:21:56.200 --> 00:22:00.680
guy who's on his honeymoon, and
like Iceland, he's answering it questions.

308
00:22:00.759 --> 00:22:03.519
M Well, you're a part of
the most popular thing in America. You

309
00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:08.440
don't like your job, someone else
will take your job. I used to

310
00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:11.160
think about that way about radio,
but then I realized that no one really

311
00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:15.720
cares about radio anymore. What do
they think they're the ticket? I know,

312
00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:18.680
right, it's very strange. But
I don't know if that was a

313
00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:21.640
good article. That was a lot
of fun, good reading. It's like

314
00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:25.119
it's good from more perspective on that. I know, Mikey, you and

315
00:22:25.160 --> 00:22:27.920
I just went to two road games, you know, this year in the

316
00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:33.400
NFL, and you do You're taken
aback when you look all the way up

317
00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:34.839
and down the sideline, I'm like, God, there's a bunch of people

318
00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:38.200
on this sideline. I mean,
you see it on TV every week we

319
00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:42.680
see a guy get hit you know, you know, hard on the sideline

320
00:22:42.799 --> 00:22:47.519
and you're like, why is there
so much crap on the sideline? This

321
00:22:47.359 --> 00:22:49.480
is this article kind of explains why
there's so much crap. It's all needed.

322
00:22:49.599 --> 00:22:53.200
They had the one wide shot of
the entire sideline with all the arrows

323
00:22:53.240 --> 00:22:56.960
pointing at every person's job. Incredible. Again, this is all in sports

324
00:22:57.000 --> 00:23:02.920
illustrating. You can just google just
go Sports Illustrated Dolphins and scroll down a

325
00:23:02.960 --> 00:23:04.839
little bit and it's Yeah, I
don't remember the title, but you'll find

326
00:23:04.839 --> 00:23:08.880
it. It's a real long,
in depth read. But I thought it

327
00:23:08.920 --> 00:23:12.480
was excellent, man, very fascinating, fantastic and just like how much crap

328
00:23:12.519 --> 00:23:15.400
they got to move to go on
the road. Yea, that's like that

329
00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:19.079
part of it is like a traveling
rock and roll tour. Yes. Like

330
00:23:19.200 --> 00:23:22.720
when they had the joint practices with
the Texans, Yeah, like god,

331
00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:27.000
that's a pain because they need multiple
everything for multiple days. You have to

332
00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:30.000
say, hey, Texans, do
you have an extra blocking sled or do

333
00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:33.480
we need to bring one, you
know, a thousand pounds blocking sled.

334
00:23:33.599 --> 00:23:37.880
Yeah, throw that truck in one
of your many trucks or planes and prioritize

335
00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:41.759
what goes in the truck versus what
goes in the plane. And then just

336
00:23:41.799 --> 00:23:45.359
like the molding of all their heads
in training camps, of their helmets on

337
00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:51.440
the inside to make sure the helmets
fit absolutely to perfection, and then sterilizing

338
00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:55.160
the helmets like the Thursday before the
game, and then on Friday replacing all

339
00:23:55.160 --> 00:23:57.480
their face masks because you have brand
new face masks every game. I don't

340
00:23:59.039 --> 00:24:02.480
you know that, no brand new
face mask every game. I always wonder

341
00:24:02.519 --> 00:24:06.960
if it's brand new shoes, brand
new helmet. I assume the helmet stays

342
00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:08.400
for the whole year, but I
don't know. That's also in high school,

343
00:24:08.440 --> 00:24:12.920
like probably not. It was a
very good reading. If you don't

344
00:24:12.960 --> 00:24:17.839
lack reading, just listen to our
segment again because we podcast every single segment

345
00:24:18.119 --> 00:24:22.200
after the show. Coming up next
in the scuttle But I've got a bone

346
00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:25.359
to pick with the restaurant and I'm
gonna annihilate them next. I'm ninety seven,

347
00:24:25.400 --> 00:24:25.960
