- 0:19Speaker 1: football coach who's concerned about some changes that are being
- 0:22Speaker 1: made to the upcoming season. Okay, because apparently he's been
- 0:25Speaker 1: getting a lot of complaints from concerned parents that the
- 0:28Speaker 1: game is just too violent and too dangerous. Yeah, oh yeah,
- 0:32Speaker 1: that makes sense. You got to protect the kiddos. Well,
- 0:36Speaker 1: the assistant to the superintendent is stepping in to tell
- 0:39Speaker 1: me about the new kid friendly rule changes. I think
- 0:44Speaker 1: he's gonna love it. I'm sure no, he actually might
- 0:47Speaker 1: kill me. It's your phone tap right after this on
- 0:53Speaker 1: the twenties, tell me, I'm moving ninety two point five.
- 0:58Speaker 1: We Hi, I'm looking speak with coach Michael. This is
- 1:02Speaker 1: coach Who's this? My name is mel Lester. I'm the
- 1:06Speaker 1: assistant to the superintendent. How are you today, I'm doing well?
- 1:10Speaker 1: How are you well? I'm doing a Okay, Mike, thanks
- 1:13Speaker 1: for asking. I know we haven't spoken before, but since
- 1:16Speaker 1: the football season is going to be starting up soon,
- 1:19Speaker 1: Superintendent Shaw wanted me to reach out to all the
- 1:21Speaker 1: coaches and have a little chat and chat about what So.
- 1:25Speaker 1: It turns out some of the parents have been complaining
- 1:27Speaker 1: about a few of the things in the game. So
- 1:30Speaker 1: we're going to be making a couple of rule changes
- 1:32Speaker 1: for the upcoming season. So you're just listening to the parents,
- 1:36Speaker 1: You're not going to listen to the coaches. Well, I mean,
- 1:39Speaker 1: if we didn't hear them out first, then they wouldn't
- 1:41Speaker 1: have their kids come out to play. So we kind
- 1:44Speaker 1: of had Tom. I guess, well, I'm glad you understand, coach.
- 1:48Speaker 1: But as you know, there's a lot of parents nowadays
- 1:52Speaker 1: who think the sports a little too violent. They're not
- 1:55Speaker 1: going to stop us from tackling each other. No, no,
- 1:58Speaker 1: I mean not yet at least, but just to help
- 2:01Speaker 1: with the optics of the sport, we're gonna have to
- 2:03Speaker 1: change the term tackle to something else, something a little softer.
- 2:08Speaker 1: Change tackle, because you know, it sounds kind of aggressive.
- 2:12Speaker 1: So instead, when you're teaching the kids, instead of saying tackle,
- 2:15Speaker 1: from now on, you'll need to say happy hug, hug.
- 2:20Speaker 1: So instead of saying go tackle him, I need you
- 2:22Speaker 1: to motivate your players by telling him to hug the
- 2:25Speaker 1: stuffing out of that kid. Do you know how assinine
- 2:29Speaker 1: this sounds? I do, trust me. But you know how
- 2:32Speaker 1: the parents are now. The parents shouldn't be running the game.
- 2:36Speaker 1: This is football an American tradition. Well, it can still
- 2:40Speaker 1: be an American tradition. But we're just gonna have a
- 2:43Speaker 1: few slight, teensy tiny switches to it. That's all you're
- 2:46Speaker 1: telling me. There's more, there's happy hugs, and there's more. Yeah. Also,
- 2:51Speaker 1: the parents are a little worried that the game's too
- 2:53Speaker 1: risky from a speed standpoint, So we're not gonna be
- 2:57Speaker 1: able to do that anymore. To what run? You know,
- 3:01Speaker 1: we can't have the players running. What do you mean
- 3:04Speaker 1: they can't run? Well, we just we need to slow
- 3:07Speaker 1: it down just a little bit. That's why players in
- 3:10Speaker 1: our league are only going to be able to move
- 3:11Speaker 1: at a brisk walk. Are you serious? I'm maybe a skip,
- 3:15Speaker 1: but anything faster than that they're going to get penalized.
- 3:18Speaker 1: I'm to walk briskly or even walk faster. That's not football.
- 3:23Speaker 1: I'm with you. I'm with you, coach. I mean, we're
- 3:25Speaker 1: just lucky that the beach ball rule didn't get past
- 3:27Speaker 1: because that was a close one. Some of the parents
- 3:31Speaker 1: were suggesting that we use a beach ball instead of
- 3:33Speaker 1: a football. You know, it's a lot less pointy, it's
- 3:36Speaker 1: non threatened. Hell loud of here. Well, coach, I agree
- 3:41Speaker 1: with you, and we all agree. I'm as a breaking
- 3:45Speaker 1: point with this. Are you kidding me? Coach? Se I
- 3:49Speaker 1: think this kind of talk from you, this aggressive talk,
- 3:52Speaker 1: that's what the parents don't like football. Look, coach, I
- 3:58Speaker 1: understand that you're upset, but the way speaking to me
- 4:00Speaker 1: right now, it's bringing back a lot of negative memories
- 4:03Speaker 1: from my father. Oh well, that is not my responsibility.
- 4:07Speaker 1: I am a damn football coach. And the day I
- 4:11Speaker 1: will ever set foot on the field where kids are
- 4:14Speaker 1: hitting beatballs and they're hugging each other is the day
- 4:18Speaker 1: I'm done. You hear me, This conversation is over. You
- 4:22Speaker 1: can run it off the superintendent. I don't get flying.
- 4:28Speaker 1: What the damn is so funny? And why are you laughing?
- 4:32Speaker 1: You think this is some kind of yoke. I do
- 4:35Speaker 1: think it's kind of a joke. Well, I don't you're
- 4:38Speaker 1: talking about my career. Fun buzz. No. The reason why
- 4:42Speaker 1: I say it's a joke is because I'm not really
- 4:44Speaker 1: calling from the school, but my name is. Where the
- 4:47Speaker 1: hell are you calling from. I'll tell you right now.
- 4:49Speaker 1: I got your phone number. I have your number two
- 4:52Speaker 1: because my name's Jeffrey from the radio show Brook and
- 4:54Speaker 1: Jeffrey in the Morning. I'm doing a phone tap on you.
- 4:58Speaker 1: Kid out. Are you your kidding with me? Right? Yeah?
- 5:02Speaker 1: I am kidding. This is all a prank. Your wife, Shelby,
- 5:06Speaker 1: said that you were a little worried about coming back
- 5:07Speaker 1: to coach. Sorry. She thought it would be really funny
- 5:15Speaker 1: to mess with you. She knows you're really passionate about football.
