The other lead play by play guy is a J N. And we'll see if this new move that he's breaking out will stick. Here's Jim Nance. Tell me whether or not he's listening to Tony Romo's replacement. Also just a minute drive away. It's just like storybook for Mike. It was truly incredible to listen to him talk about how he drives past his childhood home every day. And these are the story. We're talking about I think Jacquan Brisker from the Steelers. He's from Boston. They're playing the Patriots.

I think. This is childhood home every day. And these are the streets every single day as a kid that he grew up on. And he talked to us about how emotional he got after that first win, getting the game ball from Aaron Rogers. And just how special it was. He got the game ball too. was. You got the game ball too in a locker room. The air driver's, but a moment was captured first to 10. Good note, Jim. Good note. I guess I wasn't paying close enough attention either. That must that full disclosure. I just cut the audio. That couldn't have been closer too. That was a no it wasn't like well 40 seconds later. Yeah, like play it. He talked to us about how emotional he got after that first win getting the game ball from Aaron Rogers and just

how special it was. You got the game ball. Five seconds. You got the game ball too. And because Jim Nance still has transatlantic and outsourable. And J Dub is not going to call him out on that zero chance. Yeah. J Dub. He's in the audition phase. Perhaps never certainly not now. But because Nance talks that way, much like Brad Sham, it is funny when he mispeaks. And you know, there are a lot of consonants that are dangerous. We've detailed many times. If you leave here, sir, with nothing else today, a guy who's never listened to the show, just make sure you always remember that the N and the B are right next to each other on your keyboard. And that presents a level of danger. Most people don't think about their season case in sports. You might have the wild card hunt that gets mixed up every now and then. And then you've got special teams onto the game field this season. And it is killing them right now. How big was that drop?

As the cut kick comes. Oh, about the 10. Yeah. And he's he's got to clean it up in the end a little bit here. How big was that drop? As the cut kick comes. The 10. Nope. No bounce. Okay. Kick. Covered up. Jones was looking around for a flag to his contact 49 yards on the punt. The punt. I know what it's called. Do you want to hear the most famous one of all? Of course. Do you have it? Okay. I have it right here. Whoa. That sounds weird. Let's try that again. What would be doing that? It's okay. Let's hear if this does that musculoskeletal care. That one sounds clean. That's odd. I wonder why it's doing that. Well, we'll have to try and figure it out. Okay. So I want to tell you guys about something I was made aware of.

This is a little sports report. I got an email from a friend of ours. This one. They gave him every. Nope. No. I got an email from a friend of ours. He has a son who is in junior high. Many plays football. And this is in, I think it's okay to say, I mean, it's on YouTube. This is in love joy. Okay. Love joy high school is coached by who Blake Todd Dodge. So this is a powerhouse feeder system we're looking at here. And this is a junior high that feeds into that high school. And this listener sent me a YouTube video indicating that a YouTuber named Eli Mac, who has 1.24 million subscribers, would be following his son seventh grade team all year. Because the son or the kids team has, I guess, three of the top prospects in the

nation. One of them is the quarterback, who's dad appears to be a guy that was like on Shark Tank is into a real estate. And I think he's the one bankrolling bringing this YouTuber to all of their games. The first video from two weeks ago has 300,000,000 views. All of them have titles like this. I found all caps mini Tyree Kill and he went crazy. The next one is mini Justin Jefferson. Then there's mini Jalen Hertz. So like baby, Gronk, say you're smaller. He has a video with baby, Gronk put a famous name on the end of it. Yeah, that might get the engagement. I've noticed something else that's getting engagement. It's NFL weekend for sure, but it happened college weekend. It's you will never see a hit like this.

And then you click it. And it's like, okay, we see these all the time. Henry, we go turn the air up. It's freezing. Oh, thank you. Big win. Big win. It's been hard. And we've been, it's been battling the outside for, for months. And now that we've got to a temperature, you couldn't make it low enough in here to actually make it cold. There were hoodies at football practice this morning. Ty's returning. So if you play your cards right, Blake, Eli Mac will be your football practice one day. I hope not. This guy is, he looks like he's at early 30s. He is peak streamer YouTuber. In fact, the video he has with baby grok on his YouTube page is him playing Madden against baby grok. He does a lot of mad. Where do you see baby grok? Was in the morning news this weekend? Yeah, they spread the town's enough there. He was an home estate this weekend. We were the bad guys for having him in studio. Why are you giving this guy a platform? Just too early. Yeah. Yeah, everything.

So that's what she said. This is a public high school. So I'm very confused by this entire deal. How there is a random non school employee that's just like on the sideline, talking to the kids in the huddle. Very weird. In the huddles. Not on the sideline huddle, but yes. Still. Yeah. At many Ty Rinks, first middle school football game. This is TG3, aka many Ty Rinks. Not only is he the fastest middle schooler in the entire country, but he's also making plays like this. Oh my God. TG3 just injured. The name. It's all like kind of to catch a predator, Jerry Springer. I told T.C. last night, I don't even know if this guy, I want to say kid, because he seems a lot younger than me, the YouTuber. I don't even know if he knows why this is funny. Like it looks like cheaters, you know, like the reenactments are all shaking. But listen to the music. The team is the love joy lepros and today we're going to be taken on Alan Ford middle school.

We got to get the double. And these are 12 year olds. There's no way this is the fastest guy in the country. They look pretty good, but let me tell you something. The ball shitty. It's terrible football. This is not like watching. Sometimes you might see like eighth graders play basketball and like, damn, football. You can't do it. I thought he was going to say modern day, Duncanville. No, no. These are just, they're just playing another middle school. There's a glitch going on on YouTube, where it's randomly unsubscribing people from channels. So make sure you're checking if you're subscribed, smash that sub button. So that way you can be tuned in, watch every episode of this series. If that's going to happen about every two minutes throughout it's a 23 minute video, asking you to subscribe, telling you something that's going on with your plan with YouTube. Yes, that's what he's going to do. My boy, man. So now he's just on the sideline. Okay, there's a 30 something year old man. 12 year olds. Have they met perhaps on the internet? He doesn't know them. But now it's that up time. Imagine going up to a 12 year old and be like, my dog.

Like how seventh grade. My boy, man, good to see you, brother. There. LD was good, man. Yeah. Good to see you, my boy. My boy, G was sup, boy. Good to see you, man. Hey, man, you already know, man. First game of the year, bro, we starting away. We got to come out here and get this W, man. Y'all boys ready? Y'all excited? Well, I've been prepping this for like the past few months. Now I was like, man, I got to come watch these boys play throughout their entire, you know, say middle school season. That's what I'm here to do, bro. So this game, number one, I need y'all boys to go off. And you're in the way. Tom, it is easy work. Let's go, baby. All right, man. We're going to be capturing y'all. Now where's the coach? He does appear later. And he's on board. He's like, hey, you got, you know, I get like you want to hype the kids up. If it makes them want to push, get them 300,000 bees. No, like yo, they ain't nothing to play with. Love joys like that. You know, I'm saying that's going to make it to when we go play them. Okay. So now I don't want to trigger, I don't want to trigger any YouTube, um, you know, copyright situations here. But for some time now, really it started.

I would, I would say with the Friday night, Friday night lights movie, but there was a band Dan. I could have seen you got getting into them when I was in college called explosions in the sky. They were instrumental. And they would play concerts that would just melt your brain. But then somebody figured out you just need to put it behind football practice highlights. And it's like, holy shit. Like now I get it. So every football movie now has some component of this type of music. So now they've got this guy giving a speech to seventh graders with like, like, yo, they ain't nothing to play with. Love joys like that. You know, I'm saying that's going to make it to when we go play them. They already like a little bit nervous. If they see y'all hitting hard, you know, I'm saying holding on to your passes, being disciplined, not getting penalties doing what y'all need to do, they're going to be like, Dan, this is going to be a hard team to play. Not only play, but then to try and beat. So it all starts with this game. You know what I'm saying? This has to tone for the whole year. Yes, sir. I need your lock in.

All right. Yes, sir. You do. You do. Lock it on three. Let's go. Come on. One, two, three. Lock it. They broke out the team. I'm talking about. Of course he did. Where is the coach? Yeah. It's a good one. Yeah. There's a game though. But eight, all lines got to block a little bit better. Hold them a little bit longer. So gas and it's taking them hits. Man, so we could let dad ball go because once. Oh, I don't know. My son's on the old line. I don't know that I love you deciding that that sack was on like, because it's three black kids. And like there's several other players on the team are white. It's some diversity, but like he ain't there to watch any of the white kids. However, I did note they have a white running back. He didn't know his name at the start of the video. By the end of the video, what was it going with him? Casper. No, it's cat about the referee. No, okay. But yeah, like when when when something bad would happen to one of his all star kids, you know, he'd be like, they just got a block form a little bit better. Man, this is bullshit. Casper was like, Basics nickname in high school. He told us. Oh my gosh, bro.

And you said you all was talking about in the whole game. Y'all trying to get two or three is the first quarter, bro. Hey, I'm seeing about four, man. He's probably never know. You might have a record breaking game. We're talking about sacks. Just he's on the sideline after they score like just a guy. It's a guy grown ass man. Just a dude got changed on. And he's just like over there talking to to middle school kids. Like you're going to go off today? What are they paying him a lot to do this? What do you mean? I don't know, but I know that it's enough to wear, you know, travel is covered. And when you're in the realm of having like 300,000 views on every video that you do, you're making real money. Like I would say the several hundreds of thousands, several hundreds of thousands. So like I mean, this team or whoever you guys are, the parent of the team, think it's a dad of the quarterback. Yeah, it's probably oil money. No, it's like real estate. Okay. I think and I always say you just not, not a lot of black guys in oil money for the most part.

Um, see what this is. You might want to go play basketball. Okay, this, I left this in here for you. Cause you know, we've been doing a lot of like, remember things your coaches would say. This one really would hit whenever you were in high school or junior high and you'd be talking about like the other posties who aren't out here. Slow, we're talking about Kill the What? Huh? Kill the run. Okay, stop the run, but kill the will. Didn't exactly work out. But we're going to get him back with this. Hey, can everybody say Kill the Will. Yeah, you do that early team falls. Okay, team is a wit and you'll make him want to go play basketball. All right. You're damn right. That's where you belong. Basketball, uh, with the babies. So he did this whole video. It's 23 minutes long. The next week, we go to the Justin Jefferson video. Okay, same exact thing. It's just a different game. But apparently not all the parents were thrilled.

With E1 Max Presence. So they're picking one kid calling him mini Thai. The first three kids. So they also have a Justin Jefferson. They have three kids that he is the greatest team ever. Well, it's three kids that didn't start out going to school there. Okay. This is a real thing, Dan. These are three kids who are really good. Heading shoulders. There's a few other kids out there that can play, but like a modern day, when we went to see, when I went to see Kyler when he was little, I don't want to go that far. Okay. I would say like, you know, when my brother was in seventh grade, he was, he was not quite at this level, but it was pretty clear that he was physically on another level than kids his age. So they're, they're legit, but it's also shitty football. Like it's not, he's, he's talking like he's at the Super Bowl and then a kid'll like fumble a snap. Yeah. Okay. Uh, but so I guess in week two, some of the parents were not thrilled.

Uh, so let's, let's go here. Yes, sir. And here we are with the kickoff. Okay. Here I go back to this part right here. This is LD, aka mini-justed Jefferson. Not only does he look like him, but he plays like him too. Last week, I want to love Joyce first. You think I could say not only does he look like him? Why can? Mini-justed Jefferson. Not only does he look like him, but he plays like him too. Last week, I want to love Joyce first middle school game and they was going all. My boy LD was going crazy getting multiple catches, scoring touchdowns and making some crazy plays. And what is this music? I don't know. I was low out when 33 to zero with this week their plan up against Melissa, but that ain't stopping mini-justed Jefferson. LD still went on. Now at this point, the camera turns to the sign on the fence of the sideline that says authorized personnel only. And the camera goes black, white and gray like gray skill. This week's different. I'm not allowed to get the same sideline access that I got last game where I was talking to the coaches, talking to the players,

and really giving y'all that behind the scenes exclusive look. But that's not going to stop anything. We're here to support Love, joy in all these boys. Keep the somber music, keep the somber music. Exposions! They're trying to, you know what I mean? But we still here, but I'm watching on support. Yeah, y'all go off today, man. For real, let's go. What's up, boy? Good to see you, brother? Yes, sir. Here we are with, okay, I just wanted you to hear what the other side of the fence do with this. Like a prison, like putting your fist up at the prison phone call. Let's touch hands. What up, they'll be. Maybe the coach and retrospect did like, hey, what? The coach seemed pretty on board with it, dude, as far as like, dude, because that guy, first of all, he's a middle school coach and love joy. You know, you're trying to move up, but that guy gets it. You're in the circus. You're not coaching it. Freakin' birdful. You're coaching a Todd Dodger system. His quarterback moves there in seventh grade. Take care of this. It's going to be, uh, now your biggest hurdle is going to be that there's like 30 other kids on the team that you have to pretend like matter.

So. Which is any coaches big hurdle? Yeah. Man, I wish we had more Brad and Babe. But I think, yes, well, they actually called the love joy, Melissa Middle School game. And I have a portion of it here. Javante Williams did not know what to do with himself. He saw space. He saw opening. He saw Greengrass. He's like, what is this? Bob, how many yards did he not gain on that play? One of my all-time favorite movie clips from the Great Western, Hell and Highwater. They come in and ask the sit down this old restaurant and the grizzled lady waitress comes up and says, what don't you want? Oh, yeah. And just moving from there. It's about a 26 year I run by Javante Williams. Thank you. What? Believe in that scene. She said there was a gentleman from New York. Of course she didn't say gentlemen. It was not gentlemen. It's a great, it was not gentlemen. It's a great scene. It's, it's, uh, you want to say it?

Not get a new broadcast partner. I could say it was. I could, you can say anything once. Fronts. It was, uh, uh, Jeff Bridges. The lead role. And he's happening right now. Officer come in and they sit down and, and, and, and, this, as I said, veteran waitress comes up and says, what don't you, they, how are you doing, ma'am? She says, how is it going to get the stroke? And she says, what don't you boys want? And they look at each other and say, what, what do you mean? Well, we only serve tea bone steaks and baked potatoes. Except for this one individual from two gentlemen. Do you have any, we're going, we don't serve no blank any blank trout. So either you don't want the corn on the cow, but you don't want the green beans. What don't you want? Just google the cut. It's the greatest thing on it. Cowboys were backed up to their 20. And we got a mix up on cut there. Oh, did he? Just google the car.

That happened.
