• 1:50
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_00: The story I'm going to tell is funny, but I'm telling when you're actually coaching youth, 10, 11-year-old youth football, it's it's it's it's it's a job.
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_00: It's a job.
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_00: So uh, yeah, me, my troop, and my supervisor, we all decided to do something for the community.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_00: Because when you're in the military, you gotta be involved with your local community.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_00: And then you gotta do it for your evaluation.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_00: So when you're getting evaluated, you're getting a good score, or you know, you're doing things that are involved with the community, and it looks good on your your report, your E, I think it was called EPR report, I think it was called.
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_00: So uh at this time, I'm like, yo, let's uh everybody trying to figure out what we want to do.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_00: I talked to my troop, Godot, and uh, we're like, hey, you know, what do you do?
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_00: What do you know?
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_00: He's like, Yeah, well, you know, I'm from Texas.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_00: I know a little something about football.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_00: So, okay, okay, that's cool.
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm from Ohio.
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_00: I definitely know something about football, you know what I'm saying?
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_00: And then my my supervisor, Labored, he's like, Yeah, I know something about football because I'm from Georgia.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_00: Now, you gotta understand that people from the South, or mainly in this case, Labor, they don't believe in commas and periods.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_00: So Laborg will put his whole sentence together and no pauses.
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_00: So I had to understand, I have to understand what he's saying in a moment.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_00: For us again, but I was like, hey, Leborg, you wanna you wanna coach football?
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_00: He was like, Yeah, man, I can play coach football.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_00: I was playing used to play Georgia all the time.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_00: You know, I was running back for the Tri-Sounty High School, and I was a runner all the time.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_00: And I was like, oh.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_00: So I have to break down, like, oh, okay, he's telling us he used to play at his little high school and all that stuff.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_00: So that's uh that's the way he used to talk and all that stuff.
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_00: So uh we all decided to say, hey, look, let's go ahead and let's pick the the team on base, because there's teams off base, but we all live on base.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_00: So we're like, this would be a great idea, because the think the thinking process was that all the officers lived on base, and you know, officers and their kids, they should be, you know, strong and disciplined, and you know, if they're all signing up to play football, then everything should be good.
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_00: We should get some of the best kids on base so we could play football.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_00: First off, uh sign up was slow.
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_00: So at the time we said football, we we had a TV, we we brought a TV, we brought NFL films, and we sitting outside the BX, and BX was like the growth the shopping store, and we're all sitting there playing like NFL music and all that stuff.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_00: Hey! Falcon football, because we were we were the Holloman Falcons.
• 4:41
  SPEAKER_00: Like Falcon football, sign up, Coach Gillespie, Coach Goodo, Coach Labor.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_00: We're gonna play football, play exciting football here on Holloman Air Force Base.
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_00: Bring your kids.
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_00: Let's sign them up, let's go.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_00: Right?
• 4:55
  SPEAKER_00: We think we think we got the perfect pitch.
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_00: We're on base, we're gonna support you.
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_00: We got defense with goodot, offense with Leborg, and I'm the head coach.
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_00: This is gonna work out.
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_00: Now, normally a football team consists of at least at least 22 kids.
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_00: Right?
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_00: 11 on offense, 11 on defense.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_00: We only got 17.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_00: And it was all day.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_00: We were like, at the end of the day, we were begging, please, please come and play football for us.
• 5:23
  SPEAKER_00: Like, I'm a girl.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_00: I said, I don't care.
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_00: I I I don't judge.
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_00: I need I need 22 players.
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_00: Play for the Falcons, the Holland Air Force Base Falcons, and and you could play.
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_00: I don't care if you're a girl.
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_00: No, 17.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_00: I got 17, 17 players.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_00: And out of those 17, out of those 17 kids, only three of them could probably play.
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_00: Like, can like play and probably go to the next level in junior high.
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_00: Three of them.
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_00: And so we're like, oh god.
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_00: Like this is gonna be this is gonna be rough.
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_00: But we could do it.
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_00: Because we are confident, we are confident in what we're doing, and you know, you, you know, uh, goodot, you got the defense, Lebor, you got the offense.
• 6:09
  SPEAKER_00: I said, and I'm the head coach.
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_00: And then so we're like, and then we had we had our our GM, Adam.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_00: He was, you know, the over, you know, oversight guy, make sure, you know, we had jerseys, all that stuff.
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_00: That was his job, right?
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_00: So we go, we start first practice, and you know, when they don't know who we are, we're all sitting there watching, and we're the kids are they're playing tag.
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_00: And this is what it this is what it felt like, like like a clown show.
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_00: We're looking at this one kid, little little Travis, over there running around, just black train tag and all that stuff.
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_00: Like, who that kid?
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_00: Who whose kid is that?
• 6:45
  SPEAKER_00: Are you kidding me?
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_00: These kids were all janky and wild.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_00: And I said, it must be something in this New Mexico water because these kids don't want to play, they can't play football looking like this.
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_00: Like, I'm looking at like a little boy.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like, yo, bro, we've been set up.
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_00: These kids don't want to play no dag on football, they want to play tag.
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_00: So, first couple practices, we're starting out, and um we're starting to just cite our talent.
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_00: And like I said, we had three kids.
• 7:13
  SPEAKER_00: We had three kids.
• 7:14
  SPEAKER_00: One, we're gonna keep it simple with the names, because one we're gonna call Brady.
• 7:19
  SPEAKER_00: Brady was the quarterback, he had the head, the knowledge, and he could throw.
• 7:24
  SPEAKER_00: Not that far because 10-11 years old, for some reason you can't throw a football that far, but he could do the job.
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_00: We had good communication.
• 7:31
  SPEAKER_00: So I said, I will take the quarterback, and I will take the center, and I will do the plays.
• 7:39
  SPEAKER_00: Right?
• 7:39
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm just getting the snap.
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_00: That's all I'm trying to do.
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_00: Get the snap right.
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_00: That's that was my primary focus.
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_00: Leborg took the offense, good old took the defense.
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_00: So we're we're doing practice, and then uh, you know, Adam will come around.
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_00: Adam will come around every now and then, and he'd be like, hey, you know, see you guys doing good.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_00: Practice every Tuesday and Thursday.
• 7:57
  SPEAKER_00: You know, do you want to add an extra day?
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_00: I said, right now we're just just trying to get basic fundamentals down, you know, run this route, do this, run, tackle, defense, offense, one snap, two snap.
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_00: Just trying to get the fundamentals down.
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_00: He's like, okay, cool, cool, cool.
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_00: So we start getting practice together.
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_00: And we had again, we had Brady as the quarterback.
• 8:20
  SPEAKER_00: We had Moose, the tight end.
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_00: He was talented.
• 8:23
  SPEAKER_00: He could play both sides.
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_00: He could, he was a good tackler, uh, he can catch the ball, but he was slow, right?
• 8:29
  SPEAKER_00: But we're gonna take it because again, we don't have a lot of talent on base that we initially thought.
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_00: And then we had Grease.
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_00: Grease was our receiver.
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_00: He and then we called him Grease because he was like, you know, slickly slide.
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_00: No, you can't tackle me, da-da-da.
• 8:42
  SPEAKER_00: But he also had Grease on his hands because he couldn't catch the ball.
• 8:45
  SPEAKER_00: Like vital, vital times when we were in practice, he would just drop the ball.
• 8:51
  SPEAKER_00: And his dad, his dad was an officer, and his dad, like, yeah, I work with him catching the ball all day.
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_00: Everything said eventually at practice, he just forgets how to catch the ball.
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_00: Like, this is ridiculous.
• 9:04
  SPEAKER_00: Why can't he?
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, he was he was good.
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_00: He was jank, he was like jukey, fast.
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_00: Like, if we just get him the ball, he'll be fine.
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_00: But he didn't want to play running back because he was too small, like too skinny.
• 9:15
  SPEAKER_00: But he he was he'd be like to be out there on the end playing a receiver catching the ball.
• 9:19
  SPEAKER_00: So we're like, okay.
• 9:21
  SPEAKER_00: That's the the plan is to build around Moose, Brady, and Grease.
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_00: So, like, that's the play.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_00: So another side note here, that we had this one kid who his dad forced him to play.
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_00: And this dude was, and this dude was like 4'11, little, wiry body, big head.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_00: Let's call him Larry.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_00: Right?
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_00: Larry, his dad forced him to play.
• 9:47
  SPEAKER_00: His dad forced to play.
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_00: There was no escaping this.
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_00: You are playing football.
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_00: So uh every time his he would play, and we like, I talked to his dad, like, look, you know, Larry's small, you know.
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_00: I'm the type of coach.
• 9:59
  SPEAKER_00: I was I think I was the type of coach like winning is not important as far as the fundamentals.
• 10:04
  SPEAKER_00: Like, if you learn how to play football and next year you excel, then I consider this year a success.
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_00: He's like, no, Larry's gonna play.
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_00: He's gonna play whatever running back, whatever position linebacker, and he's gonna take the hits.
• 10:16
  SPEAKER_00: And I was like, I said, uh dad, Larry's dad?
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_00: I said, you know, he's little.
• 10:22
  SPEAKER_00: He's like, I'm he's little.
• 10:23
  SPEAKER_00: I don't think he can survive taking all these hits.
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_00: You might kill your son if this continues, right?
• 10:29
  SPEAKER_00: He's like, no, nonsense.
• 10:31
  SPEAKER_00: He's gonna play.
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_00: So I, me, I saw a lot of me in him.
• 10:37
  SPEAKER_00: What I mean by that is that I was undersized when I played football.
• 10:43
  SPEAKER_00: But I love playing football.
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_00: When I was a kid back then, I loved playing football.
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_00: Because again, if you rewind time, when we were on Nab Drive, that's all we did.
• 10:51
  SPEAKER_00: We all we did was play football.
• 10:52
  SPEAKER_00: And once Ronnie and Kurt left, it was football season.
• 10:54
  SPEAKER_00: If it's summertime, it's football season.
• 10:56
  SPEAKER_00: It's fall time, it's football season.
• 10:59
  SPEAKER_00: If it's winter's ice snow, it's football season.
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_00: So we played football all the time.
• 11:04
  SPEAKER_00: So I loved football.
• 11:06
  SPEAKER_00: So every time I line Larry up, he get hit, he get cracked.
• 11:09
  SPEAKER_00: Boo.
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_00: Daddy.
• 11:12
  SPEAKER_00: Crying.
• 11:13
  SPEAKER_00: And I felt guilty, like, yo, you know, you need daddy's a get up, boy.
• 11:17
  SPEAKER_00: So, okay, okay, that's cool.
• 11:19
  SPEAKER_00: So, you know, that's what we had.
• 11:22
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like, all right, cool.
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_00: So we're like, we're we're getting ready to select jerseys.
• 11:26
  SPEAKER_00: We get to select jersey colors and all that.
• 11:29
  SPEAKER_00: We just we just we choose black because we're the Air Force Falcons, we're wearing black jerseys.
• 11:32
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm thinking we're taking, we we acting like the Reddit.
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_00: We're gonna be bad out there.
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_00: We're gonna be we're gonna be angry.
• 11:38
  SPEAKER_00: We're gonna be good.
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_00: You know, we we're gonna be the Raiders, Raider colors, black, black helmet, black jersey, white pants.
• 11:46
  SPEAKER_00: I said, you we gon we gonna kill everybody, right?
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_00: We gonna destroy everybody.
• 11:51
  SPEAKER_00: And we got our schedule.
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_00: We got our you see, we had one, two, three, four, eight, uh, four.
• 11:57
  SPEAKER_00: We had seven games, seven games to play.
• 11:59
  SPEAKER_00: And our first game was against the frogs.
• 12:01
  SPEAKER_00: So you say falcons versus frogs.
• 12:03
  SPEAKER_00: Well, falcons eat frogs, right?
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_00: So we gonna play.
• 12:06
  SPEAKER_00: We gonna play.
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_00: So we playing the game, and I can see right now, like, ooh, that one's rough.
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_00: This is gonna be rough because we couldn't get nothing together.
• 12:16
  SPEAKER_00: But fortunately, so the frogs.
• 12:17
  SPEAKER_00: The frogs couldn't get nothing together either.
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_00: So we're playing a 0-0 game, moving 15 yards max.
• 12:22
  SPEAKER_00: Nobody we moved 15 yards one way, we got a punt.
• 12:25
  SPEAKER_00: A punt was like we walk 30 yards, and then, you know, we start then, move 15 yards.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_00: We'd punt, give it back to them, and then eventually we lost.
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_00: We lost six to nothing.
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_00: Like, we they scored a touchdown late.
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_00: It's like, yo, we're gonna, we're gonna come back, no problem.
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_00: We gotta figure this out, right?
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_00: So next week we play the knights.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_00: It's like, all right, well, you know, we ain't that good.
• 12:49
  SPEAKER_00: We we like we starting to see signs, like, I don't know how good we're gonna be.
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, we gotta play the knights.
• 12:55
  SPEAKER_00: We lose, we lose to the knights 13-0.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_00: It's like, oh man, this is terrible.
• 12:58
  SPEAKER_00: We ain't scoring, we ain't getting no offense.
• 13:00
  SPEAKER_00: I was like, Leborg, like what?
• 13:02
  SPEAKER_00: Like, why we ain't why why can't we score?
• 13:04
  SPEAKER_00: Hey, man, you gave me all these people that these kids didn't know how to play no football.
• 13:07
  SPEAKER_00: This is Georgia.
• 13:07
  SPEAKER_00: If we were in Georgia, we know how to play football.
• 13:09
  SPEAKER_00: And we know how to football, we run the ball all the time.
• 13:11
  SPEAKER_00: I said, Well, we can't run the option because it's not gonna work.
• 13:15
  SPEAKER_00: You what you run in the offense, I'm head coach.
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_00: You run in the offense, you need to tell him what to do.
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_00: That's okay.
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_00: So I was like, all right, so he we figured out we're gonna run play action.
• 13:26
  SPEAKER_00: Where the play action for people that don't know football is where the quarterback either takes the puts the ball out for the running back to take, takes it back, and then we're gonna throw the ball to Grease.
• 13:37
  SPEAKER_00: Because the other receiver, he ain't catching nothing.
• 13:40
  SPEAKER_00: So I was like, alright, so we try that.
• 13:42
  SPEAKER_00: And again, we playing, we're playing the Bulldogs.
• 13:45
  SPEAKER_00: The Bulldogs were the two-time champions, right?
• 13:49
  SPEAKER_00: And boy, did they they they they thumped us 44 to nothing, right?
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_00: They they they thumped us so bad that they created, and this is the first time I seen it back then, a running clock.
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_00: So after they get up 20, I think it was 21 or 28, the clock just keeps running.
• 14:08
  SPEAKER_00: Like this game's over.
• 14:09
  SPEAKER_00: Y'all lost.
• 14:10
  SPEAKER_00: Let's just run.
• 14:11
  SPEAKER_00: And they at the time it was 28-0.
• 14:13
  SPEAKER_00: They put up more points to get it to 44, right?
• 14:17
  SPEAKER_00: So at that juncture, Leborg quits.
• 14:20
  SPEAKER_00: Like, yeah, I'm out.
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_00: I was like, what?
• 14:22
  SPEAKER_00: I said, how you gonna quit on me, bro?
• 14:24
  SPEAKER_00: We go, we work in the same office.
• 14:25
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, man, I can't play with all this.
• 14:27
  SPEAKER_00: Y'all, y'all play too much.
• 14:27
  SPEAKER_00: These kids suck, and I only got three kids.
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_00: They only play the offensive line, terrible, defensive line terrible.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_00: I said, man, we get we suck.
• 14:33
  SPEAKER_00: I said, Man, you gonna quit on me?
• 14:35

  SPEAKER_00: I'm from Georgia.
• 14:39
  SPEAKER_00: Georgia, we play football.
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_00: This is ridiculous.
• 14:41
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know what to do in New Mexico.
• 14:42
  SPEAKER_00: This must be something in the water.
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_00: So he quit on me.
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_00: He quits on me, and we still get thumped.
• 14:49
  SPEAKER_00: We get thumped by the next game by the Gators.
• 14:51
  SPEAKER_00: 28-0.
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_00: So we whine this whole time.
• 14:53
  SPEAKER_00: We played four games.
• 14:56
  SPEAKER_00: We ain't scored a point.
• 14:59
  SPEAKER_00: We haven't scored a point yet.
• 15:02
  SPEAKER_00: So it's like, you know, what are we gonna do?
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_00: So I take over the offense, Adam comes down, and he wants to take over the offense.
• 15:10
  SPEAKER_00: I said, no, dude.
• 15:11
  SPEAKER_00: We're four games in, we got three games left.
• 15:15
  SPEAKER_00: We got to implement something fast.
• 15:17
  SPEAKER_00: I got two days of practice, right?
• 15:20
  SPEAKER_00: So what are we gonna do?
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_00: Right?
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_00: So what we do, we what we start, we start something called three TP.
• 15:31
  SPEAKER_00: Three TP, right?
• 15:33
  SPEAKER_00: That is our three top plays.
• 15:37
  SPEAKER_00: And it all starts with the play action.
• 15:38
  SPEAKER_00: So they understood the play action with the three plays was quarterback sneak from the play action, handoff to the actual running back on the play action, and then an end around with the quarterback at the option to keep the ball or give it to Grease, the wide receiver.
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_00: And that's all we practice.
• 15:58
  SPEAKER_00: We up there practicing this all the time.
• 16:02
  SPEAKER_00: There is no no break in between.
• 16:06
  SPEAKER_00: That's the only three plays we practice, right?
• 16:08
  SPEAKER_00: Three TP.
• 16:09
  SPEAKER_00: Then we didn't call that play.
• 16:11
  SPEAKER_00: We're doing those three plays in a row, no huddle, right?
• 16:15
  SPEAKER_00: You know what play one is, you know what play two is, you know what play three is, right?
• 16:18
  SPEAKER_00: So as we're going down the season, all the other coaches on the team are clowning us.
• 16:24
  SPEAKER_00: Like, oh.
• 16:26
  SPEAKER_00: Who y'all play today?
• 16:28
  SPEAKER_00: Yo, we got we got the Tigers today.
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_00: Oh 33 to nothing.
• 16:32
  SPEAKER_00: I said, oh, that's you know what?
• 16:34
  SPEAKER_00: You guys think you're so funny.
• 16:36
  SPEAKER_00: They beat us 16 to nothing.
• 16:38
  SPEAKER_00: I said, you know, it's cool.
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_00: So what about what is next week?
• 16:42
  SPEAKER_00: Hey, who y'all play this week, Michael?
• 16:44
  SPEAKER_00: I said, man, we got the desert dogs.
• 16:47
  SPEAKER_00: Oh.
• 16:48
  SPEAKER_00: 35-0.
• 16:51
  SPEAKER_00: Man, you guys are doing me dirty.
• 16:53
  SPEAKER_00: And the reason why they did that is because we were all in the office.
• 16:57
  SPEAKER_00: They were all out in the field fixing the planes and stuff.
• 16:59
  SPEAKER_00: You trying to, it's like, you got all that time in the office, you can't look up a good play.
• 17:02
  SPEAKER_00: I said, y'all, y'all ain't funny.
• 17:05
  SPEAKER_00: This ain't funny at all.
• 17:07
  SPEAKER_00: This is very serious.
• 17:08
  SPEAKER_00: I am I am about to on the verge of tears because I don't like losing.
• 17:13
  SPEAKER_00: So we lose every game to the desert dogs, to the wolves.
• 17:17
  SPEAKER_00: Every time we get goose egg.
• 17:19
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm like, you know, this is this is unacceptable.
• 17:22
  SPEAKER_00: I cannot accept this.
• 17:23
  SPEAKER_00: So we had two practices left, and this is the one game, the one game we could beat.
• 17:30
  SPEAKER_00: We could beat the team because they were trash too, right?
• 17:34
  SPEAKER_00: This was the Tularosa, the Tularosa Wildcats, right?
• 17:38
  SPEAKER_00: They were 0-6, we were 0-6.

  SPEAKER_00: So my players started getting hurt.

  SPEAKER_00: They started coming back.
• 21:23
  SPEAKER_00: It was, you know, you score one touchdown, you get a chance for an extra point, you run an extra point, you get that point.

  SPEAKER_00: I'm like, you know.

  SPEAKER_00: But we scored 13 points, right?
• 22:07
  SPEAKER_00: So again, it's playoff time.
• 22:10
  SPEAKER_00: And for some reason, ever since when I was a kid, if you didn't have a winning record or close to a winning record, you don't make the playoffs.
• 22:17
  SPEAKER_00: But since the 2000s, and everybody wins, everybody makes the playoffs.
• 22:22
  SPEAKER_00: So we get to play the Tigers.
• 22:24
  SPEAKER_00: We play the Tigers, right?
• 22:26
  SPEAKER_00: And everybody's coming back from injury.
• 22:28
  SPEAKER_00: And uh again, the other maintainers that are on the field that are coaches, they say, Hey, who you got, who you got in the playoffs?
• 22:37
  SPEAKER_00: I said, Who we got in the playoffs?
• 22:40
  SPEAKER_00: That's Tigers.
• 22:41
  SPEAKER_00: So there we go.
• 22:42
  SPEAKER_00: And then he the coach does it again.
• 22:44
  SPEAKER_00: Ah, we're gonna beat the dog's mess out of you.

  SPEAKER_00: We we ready.
• 22:51
  SPEAKER_00: Three TP, three top plays.
• 22:53
  SPEAKER_00: That's that's what it is, right?
• 22:55
  SPEAKER_00: So we played a playoff game, and we're playing both sides well.
• 23:00
  SPEAKER_00: We're throwing the ball to Greece.
• 23:01
  SPEAKER_00: Greece is actually catching the ball, running, up and down the field, touchdown, right?
• 23:06
  SPEAKER_00: So we're playing and we're actually playing defense.
• 23:08
  SPEAKER_00: So it took us seven, eight games.
• 23:10
  SPEAKER_00: We're finally playing defense.
• 23:11
  SPEAKER_00: I said, thanks, good o.
• 23:12

  SPEAKER_00: We said, we're gonna win this game.
• 23:18
  SPEAKER_00: We were uh it was 12 to 6, right?
• 23:21
  SPEAKER_00: Fourth quarter.
• 23:22
  SPEAKER_00: We got this game.
• 23:23
  SPEAKER_00: They score a late touchdown, and then they decided to go for the point conversion because we didn't get ours.
• 23:30
  unknown: Right?
• 23:30
  SPEAKER_00: So if we stop them, we're gonna win a player, we're gonna win our first game.
• 23:34
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we didn't stop them.
• 23:35
  SPEAKER_00: That's alright.
• 23:37
  SPEAKER_00: So we lost that game, 13 to 12, and you know, you know how kids are when when you lose and they start crying and stuff, and when they cry, you cry, like, don't you cry, like they cry, man.
• 23:47
  SPEAKER_00: The sky's leaking.
• 23:49
  SPEAKER_00: You know, that's what you always say.
• 23:50
  SPEAKER_00: The sky's leaking.
• 23:51
  SPEAKER_00: So uh so yeah, we only scored maybe like four touchdowns.
• 23:59
  SPEAKER_00: It wasn't fun.
• 24:00
  SPEAKER_00: It is what it is, but uh that was it, man.
• 24:04
  SPEAKER_00: And that was so we go 0-8, score two touchdowns, and then that was the last time I I decided to coach.
• 24:14
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I did coach soccer.
• 24:16
  SPEAKER_00: It's different.
• 24:17
  SPEAKER_00: That's a very different sport, but that was the end of my coaching career.
• 24:20
  SPEAKER_00: Now, do I you may ask yourself, do you have the coaching bud to uh do it again?
• 24:28
  SPEAKER_00: I always ask myself, like, dude, would you ever want to coach again?
• 24:32
  SPEAKER_00: And I say absolutely not.
• 24:37
  SPEAKER_00: I scored four touchdowns, people.
• 24:42
  SPEAKER_00: No, no, no, no, no.
• 24:43
  SPEAKER_00: With that being said, we're in the episode there.
