coach in Florida and 14 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:45,280 many last year at FACA, he's real active in the FACA officer I believe, is that true? 15 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,880 I was FHSA board member. 16 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:49,800 FHSA board member, okay. 17 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:54,680 I knew that and actually many last year at the FACA conference and I mean we hit it off 18 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,200 and it was like we've known each other forever. 19 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:03,600 Started telling stories and you know we found out and knew some of the same people and Coach 20 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,960 James Thompson told me he absolutely had to be the first one on here. 21 00:01:07,960 --> 00:01:11,760 I know he coached at Pachelley House, he's a head coach at Pachelley House School left 22 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:19,400 there and went to Dr. Phillips in Orlando and then left there and went to, who's the 23 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:20,400 name of the place? 24 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:25,680 V-Land and then left to land and went to Crestview. 25 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,680 Oh I missed Crestview, Crestview and then Seabree, what was it? 26 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:30,680 Seabree? 27 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:35,240 No then it was Sebastian River down by Vero Beach. 28 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,760 Sebastian River and then from Sebastian River to Charles. 29 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:38,760 Correct. 30 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:46,000 And then this last year he served as OC at Mariana and Coach I know one thing that made 31 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:51,480 me laugh is I mean I guess because I know about where Pachelley was and you know they 32 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:55,720 want to stay championship last year in GIA but the story you told about going to interview 33 00:01:55,720 --> 00:02:01,520 for that job something about when you wrote up who was coming out or something I can't 34 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,520 remember but just. 35 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:08,880 Hey I'd tell you about it, I had talked about that at the FACA, no joke. 36 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:15,360 So I go up there and I, we just want to stay championship in Perry and Taylor County, Florida 37 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:21,240 and I was like you know it's time for me to go be a head coach and all I'd ever dreamed 38 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:26,040 about and so I got on that Georgia dent and I started looking. 39 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:32,880 At this point in time it was probably 99, I remember everybody was scared to death that 40 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:38,840 the damn banks, credit cards weren't going to work when we got to the new year you know 41 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,080 because the computers were supposed to reset. 42 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:42,680 It's going to be the end of the world. 43 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,680 Why 2K going to kill us? 44 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:51,680 I remember saying up, waiting to see what happens and the lights didn't go off, everything 45 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:56,600 was on the time, the TV changed, I didn't suppose to do. 46 00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:05,400 So anyway I'd already, I'd seen him in my resume and the reason I was looking at it 47 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:10,320 was like I don't know if I'm going to be very good at this thing and that was honest 48 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:16,960 come true, I've been an assistant coach and I loved what I was doing, I was OC and I just 49 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,720 loved what I was doing but I was like you know I don't know if I'm going to be very 50 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:24,240 good at this so I'm going to go out there and find a job that I can't sell at that 51 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,920 it can't be terrible. 52 00:03:26,920 --> 00:03:34,800 No matter what I'll be better and so sure enough I got that jelly job or I'm going to 53 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:41,080 get the jelly job and the principal called me, set up an interview and I'm like heck 54 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:48,120 yeah man, I'll come in there and talk to y'all for sure and I remember I left a pair 55 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:54,320 that day and my truck drove up there and got there on K-Surf on the jelly high school 56 00:03:54,320 --> 00:04:03,240 and it was an afternoon job or afternoon interview and some said there was an evening interview 57 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:09,840 so the guy called me and said well depending on the number of interviews he said do you 58 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,080 want the first or the last? 59 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:17,080 Well I always heard that first impressions were best but the last impressions were better 60 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:23,680 you know so I said I want to go last and he goes and I was serious Chris I thought 61 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:29,680 they've got to be because I was thinking he goes when he was telling me and I can't 62 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,680 tell you what I'm thinking but he was like what's the first impressions that he was 63 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:34,680 saying right now but here was John Albert? 64 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:39,320 No John Albert was my guy though he was there when I was there but well I got some stories 65 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:40,320 about that too. 66 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:44,320 Oh and John was swearing, oh Lee I got some stories. 67 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:52,320 So when we get there and he goes he says Coachy said we're going to an afternoon interview 68 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:59,920 and the interview is going to start and he goes you know you're my second call and he 69 00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:02,920 says the interview is going to start at 6 o'clock. 70 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:10,200 Now 6 o'clock we'll get everybody 45 minutes, 15 minute break and then in the hour we'll 71 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:11,200 start up okay. 72 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,080 He says you'll be first or last because I want to be last. 73 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:20,120 He says we'll make you last and I'll give you a call when it gets closer. 74 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:28,080 I said awesome that's great and so about three days before the interview he calls me after 75 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:34,720 it closed at 6 and now they start at 5 o'clock or something like whatever it was. 76 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:39,720 He calls the coach you're interviews at 6. 77 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,720 So there's two of us. 78 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:50,400 Good God if there was some guy on the bench it's something I can't remember his name 79 00:05:50,400 -->

--> 00:09:12,040 My first two jobs. 129 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:16,840 The first job was a job that nobody in the country wanted. 130 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:17,840 Nobody. 131 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,240 Nobody wanted that for Shelley's job. 132 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,240 Me and a guy that wanted. 133 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,240 That was me. 134 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:25,240 A positive job. 135 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:30,160 And I think he was like he did something with the church. 136 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:31,160 I'm sure. 137 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:32,160 I mean I don't know. 138 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:33,160 He got in there. 139 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:40,640 And I like and then I had a job at Dr. Phillips where 265 people applied. 140 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,640 A job everybody wanted. 141 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:43,640 You know. 142 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,440 And I love that job at Shelley. 143 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:54,480 But I remember when I got the job that the principal calls me and he he says coach and 144 00:09:54,480 --> 00:10:00,920 I'll never forget the reason I brought that up was it was the same day as this. 145 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:07,440 It was like New Year's Eve or like it was like I'm waiting on the dagum world again. 146 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:08,440 Right. 147 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:15,400 And he calls me that early even say hey would you come be I need you to be our AD and I find 148 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:16,400 it great. 149 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:17,400 Yeah. 150 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:18,400 I'll take it. 151 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:24,080 And I remember I go up there and there's a guy that was the that took the job for one 152 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:25,080 year. 153 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:26,080 Nathan Rustin. 154 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:31,800 I don't know if anybody remembers that name but he was a play for coach Brian at Alabama. 155 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,800 He was a Phoenix City legend. 156 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:42,200 In fact, it was a picture in his office of a picture of him. 157 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:47,960 In Phoenix City coach Brian and who was the governor of Alabama. 158 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,360 They got shot Wallace Wallace. 159 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:51,360 Yeah. 160 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:52,360 George Wallace. 161 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:53,360 George Wallace. 162 00:10:53,360 --> 00:11:01,840 There's a picture of Nathan Bear Bryant and George Wallace where he when he signed or whatever 163 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,520 in his office. 164 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:07,080 And I thought that's pretty cool there. 165 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,760 But he ended up being the assistant principal. 166 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:10,760 God rest his soul. 167 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,640 Anyway, so we get there and he was the one showing us around. 168 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:19,040 So I go for the interview and then he was going to take me around. 169 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,600 He showed me the facilities. 170 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:30,760 And we got in the we're walking down the hall and he said and I'll never forget. 171 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:35,160 I mean I almost can remember who was on I remember the classroom. 172 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,360 They call sites and they're from forever. 173 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:44,920 I can remember the he was walking me around and as we start walking across the parking 174 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:45,920 lot to the gym. 175 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:53,360 He said coach I used to look I just been I just got asked guess what is the coach and 176 00:11:53,360 --> 00:12:03,640 he goes I looked at the resume and he goes they fire you in Perry in Taylor County. 177 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:04,640 I said no. 178 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:05,640 They don't fire me. 179 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:10,280 He goes it was the why in the world would you want this job. 180 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:16,600 I said coach I'm just trying to break you into being a head coach and I thought it was 181 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:17,600 a good job. 182 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,920 He goes well I said why didn't you do it last year. 183 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,880 He goes I'm gonna be honest with the only reason I did it was I didn't want the program 184 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:24,880 to die. 185 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:28,640 He goes I've been here forever and I just didn't want it to die. 186 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:33,000 So anyway, we're walking around Nathan Russ and great dude. 187 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,120 So we're walking around and he showed me the facility. 188 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:41,040 He goes this is the gym and I thought that's awesome and he goes this is the log

I'm like coach like and at the time Georgia didn't have weightlifting as a sport but it 206 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,800 was a sport we did you know and I did it when I was in high school. 207 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,920 The coach did all that they had. 208 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:07,320 He goes you know this is it. 209 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:11,280 I'm like oh my god there's no way. 210 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:16,920 So and he looked at me he goes this is no joke we're walking across I said do they have 211 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:24,840 any feel of what they have a get everything you

embarrassed but I'm embarrassed but I did it because I 226 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:51,800 was just the AD and I was doing it for a year and it was just I'm not retired and I just 227 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:56,240 I did it so the program they asked to do it for one year till they could find the coach 228 00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:05,240 and I was like cool and so he gave me the film and I promised you land this is no joke. 229 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:12,200 So I take it home I'm so I can barely wait I get home it's late and I go in there and 230 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:17,800 I and I put it in the VCR that's how long ago it was and I'm watching it coach. 231 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:25,520 The first game I watched was Pachele versus Central Talbot. 232 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:34,680 Yeah and it was so bad and I look at it I'm watching and I got and I'm looking at it and 233 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:40,200 this is the first game and so I'm watching it and I'm like what and I look down there 234 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:47,320 on the sideline from how Pachele filmed it and they was the guy down there they were 235 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:56,280 I don't remember if they were paint spray painting a one to make it a seven or I don't 236 00:16:56,280 --> 00:17:04,560 know what they were doing but they were making it so as an eligible number and I thought 237 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:11,400 I just come off of Perry where it be closer for the state championship. 238 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,560 Now I'm saying that there is no way. 239 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:15,560 There is no way. 240 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:16,560 We paint numbers on Jersey. 241 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:17,560 Oh Jersey. 242 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:18,560 It is unreal. 243 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:19,560 And I'm like oh my god. 244 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:20,560 Oh really. 245 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:21,560 It is bad. 246 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:22,560 And let me tell you something. 247 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:38,320 And they were filming and this is when they filmed everything like you let it run like 248 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:39,320 I don't know. 249 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,320 Oh yeah they didn't break in and break out the hurdle. 250 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:42,320 Right. 251 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,320 It is like from the space shuttle or something. 252 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:45,320 I'm like there's no way. 253 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:52,320 And I remember watching it and I was getting what in the world they do and so I was like 254 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:53,320 oh we watch. 255 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:57,320 I watched this and I'm like there's no way to just have it. 256 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:01,320 And so and I see such a problem in the U.S. and they're warming up and they're filming 257 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:05,320 them warming up and they're filming them doing office plays and things. 258 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:10,320 I'm like there's no way to tell him to sit in the beat that bunch. 259 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,320 There is no way. 260 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:13,320 Ain't no way. 261 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,320 They look like Greek guys. 262 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:23,320 Then I watched and started playing and I'm like oh my god. 263 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:28,320 And I'm telling you it wasn't even a good pillow fight. 264 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,320 Not even a good pillow fight. 265 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,320 I'm like this is awesome. 266 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,320 How long did you stay at Batilli? 267 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:40,320 I was there for five years and we won 30 games in a row, regular season games in a row. 268 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,320 We had three years on the feed. 269 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:43,320 It was great. 270 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:48,320 I'll never forget that probably one of the best moments of my entire head coach career 271 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,320 which I've been a head coach for 25 years. 272 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:54,320 I'm telling you right now or 24 years whatever it is. 273 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,320 The best job that we ever done. 274 00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,320 I'll never forget it. 275 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:05,320 We beat Miller County where they had lost a region game forever and they have Brandon 276 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:11,320 Miller there and we beat them for the region championship. 277 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:16,320 I mean we won the region championship two or three years in a row there and three years 278 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,320 in a row and it was phenomenal. 279 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,320 It was probably the greatest feeling. 280 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:27,320 And I'll never forget up to tell you we had a priest and he was finally an athletic priest. 281 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,320 Hold on I gotta talk about the priest for a minute. 282 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:31,320 God thanks. 283 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:35,320 Listen, so then

00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,320 It was so much fun. 348 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,320 I was there for five years. 349 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:57,320 I remember going through and I asked the friends for Mr. 350 00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,320 Cobas. 351 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,320 I can't remember. 352 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:05,320 How many people can I bring in? 353 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,320 He

453 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:11,320 We played him and Randy, my first year, Randy Grace. 454 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:12,320 And I got to be buddies. 455 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:19,320 And so anyway, after

here's what I'm telling you. 465 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:50,320 And he okay, the biggest scam ever committed. 466 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:55,320 I got so many Randy Grace on the history of education.

00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:11,320 That's okay, Randy. 474 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:18,320 I said, um, the only computer. 475 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,320 He goes, No. 476 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:26,320 Have

there and we get into job at computer science. 485 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,320 So he becomes a very important part. 486 00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:04,320 Like the biggest change of fame he has and my opinion other than winning a state championship at Windsor and all. 487 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,320 That was this. 488 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:14,320 And we played up to Shelley when it was playing in the G H S A, you know that I was region coach of the year three years in a row. 489 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:15,320 Whatever. 490 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,320 I mean, we played when it was real. 491 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:18,320 It was Taylor County. 492 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,320 It was Miller County. 493 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,320 I mean, it was a great little deal. 494 00:30:23,320 -->

--> 00:30:36,320 And so anyway, he gets a job there. 498 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,320 Such a great dude. 499 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:40,320 Love Brandon Gray. 500 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:44,320 So anyway, he became friends with people in town. 501 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,320 So we paint the field on Thursday nights. 502 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,320 We go out there painting. 503 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:56,320 He'd go out on Thursday because, you know, Columbus is still a college town with Columbus State there, right? 504 00:30:56,320 --> 00:31:04,320 People, so that's it for he was a young kid, not married, you know, and so he would go out on Thursday nights. 505 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:08,320 Well, so we kind of got on a winning streak. 506 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:19,320 Like it at one time we had Randy Grace, the math, this guy who is the AD at Columbus High Jeff battles, he's a county AD. 507 00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,320 I mean, we had a great little staff there. 508 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:32,320 And so he, uh, so Randy Grace, we kind of got a win streak and he'd go out on Thursday night and, uh, or on Wednesday nights. 509 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:33,320 He's Wednesday night.

00:31:58,320 --> 00:31:59,320 Oh, yeah. 517 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,320 Two or three corners or? 518 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:02,320 There's something in there. 519 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:10,320 There was a, there was a place there in Columbus that was named one of these big restaurants in Atlanta. 520 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:15,320 You know, anyway, so anyway, there's a guy. 521 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:19,320 He comes up to me because he had a cojangles and they give it to me. 522 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:23,320 He says, Hey man, did you get a call from Grace? 523 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:26,320 I

walked through on Thursday and then we finished it up Thursday night. 526 00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:44,320 Well, so we did the paint job on Wednesday and we kind of got on a win streak going and, and, and Grace would come in on Thursday and he wasn't feeling well. 527 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,320 So anyway, he tells you to do it. 528 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:47,320 I can't go out tonight. 529 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,320 I'm like, No, bitch, you going out tonight. 530 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,320 We ain't changing what we're doing. 531 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:53,320 We got the field. 532

back and we're getting ready to play something. 929 00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:38,320 McIntosh Academy, MCA. 930 00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:41,320 McIntosh Academy Academy, yeah. 931 00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:42,320 Yeah, okay. 932 00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:43,320 So that was the story. 933 00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:44,320 So we're playing them at our place. 934 00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:48,320 That's the day that the quarterback turned around and spiked it. 935 00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:51,320 But he turned around completely backwards and spiked it. 936 00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:53,320 And we scooped score to beat him. 937 00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:55,320 They're trying to win the game. 938 00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:57,320 But anyway, so it was all sort of short. 939 00:53:57,320 --> 00:53:58,320 We're getting ready to play them. 940 00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:01,320 And I'll tell you, we already got done three game meal. 941 00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:02,320 We're taping. 942 00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:07,320 He comes down there so giddy, like just shaking his hand like a lady. 943 00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:11,320 Like she's trying to draw off the bank fingernails. 944 00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:12,320 You know how to do. 945 00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:14,320 And he goes, coach, we got cleared. 946 00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:15,320 We got cleared. 947 00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:20,320 I was like, I told you that what I'd be like, we didn't do anything wrong. 948 00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:26,320 I mean, John Alba, my God. 949 00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:28,320 I used to joke with him. 950 00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:31,320 Like, don't you wish he'd have cut that eyebrow? 951 00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:34,320 He was a different dude now. 952 00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:36,320 Now he came from Aquinas. 953 00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:44,320 Yeah, I was a Aquinas in the late nineties from 95 to 2000. 954 00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:49,320 And he left the Aquinas and went to the cellar because we were sister schools with. 955 00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:53,320 With Patelli and I didn't, I'm not Catholic. 956 00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:56,320 So I didn't know what was going on with that part of it. 957 00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:59,320 Anytime they had any of that kind of stuff going on. 958 00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:00,320 But I know. 959 00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:03,320 I'm not going to go to either teacher. 960 00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:05,320 Remember how they would have those little things? 961 00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:07,320 Yeah, I didn't get invited. 962 00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:09,320 It's about me either. 963 00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:11,320 Hey, don't invite me. 964 00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:14,320 I mean, they have Ash Wednesday and they'd have the cross on their forehead. 965 00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:18,320 And I look at the kids and they're like, hey, you got something in your forehead. 966 00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:22,320 And they're like, dude, it's Ash Wednesday. 967 00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:26,320 And I'm like, that just means Easter is almost here to me. 968 00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:28,320 I mean, I didn't know. 969 00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:30,320 And then like the first time we said to Lord's prayer, 970 00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:33,320 and they didn't say for the King and the power of the glory. 971 00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:37,320 And kids like Elbow and me going, coach, coach, coach. 972 00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:38,320 And I went, what? 973 00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:41,320 And the kid that was nephatist that went to school there was like, coach, 974 00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:43,320 they don't say that part. 975 00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:48,320 And I was like, oh, it took me a while to kind of learn all the little, you know, 976 00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:49,320 ins and outs. 977 00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:53,320 So we went Father Madden, my first year, Father Madden. 978 00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:57,320 We'd go to Country Barbecue in Columbus to eat a pregame meal. 979 00:55:57,320 --> 00:55:59,320 Well, Father Madden was the priest. 980 00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:02,320 We had Father Straight with the head honcho. 981 00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:06,320 And then you had Father Madden and another one, a big old heavy set guy. 982 00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:09,320 And so the heavy set guy was in our favor. 983 00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:12,320 But Father Madden was an Irishman. 984 00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:13,320 I think it was Madden. 985 00:56:13,320 --> 00:56:20,320 Anyway, so he would, he would show to the, my first, first ever, 986 00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:22,320 we're playing Mount Zion, getting ready to do it. 987 00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:24,320 We're doing a free game meal. 988 00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:28,320 Or maybe I came out in Trinity up there in your Mount Zion or something. 989 00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:29,320 They were coming and playing out. 990 00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:32,320 Anyway, we're getting ready to say the blessing. 991 00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:35,320 And he starts saying the prayer. 992 00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:36,320 This is no joke, coach. 993 00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:41,320 He goes, Father, I know that we never win. 994 00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:50,320 And I know that chance those women's bags are very good. 995 00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:52,320 But I want us to play with great sports. 996 00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:57,320 I said, ah, father, father, appreciate you. 997 00:56:57,320 --> 00:56:58,320 Thank you. 998 00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:00,320 I need a rubber. 999 00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:05,320 I think I say everybody by your head. 1000 00:57:05,320 --> 00:57:09,320 I'm sitting here and I was like, my first year, 1001 00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:11,320 I wanted to use the joke. 1002 00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:15,320 I couldn't be everything that guy just said, bullshit. 1003 00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:16,320 God. 1004 00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:20,320 It's what I wanted to say. 1005 00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:29,320 So I give him good old, good calls to Holy this prayer. 1006 00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:31,320 And he walks out. 1007 00:57:31,320 --> 00:57:36,320 Father said, call me the next Monday. 1008 00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:39,320 And I told him what he said. 1009 00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:42,320 He said, well, you should appreciate it. 1010 00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:44,320 I don't mean to. 1011 00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:52,320 I'm telling you, tell you, it's got a lot of places in my book 1012 00:57:52,320 --> 00:57:53,320 that I'm going to write. 1013 00:57:53,320 --> 00:57:55,320 But tell you, it was a different animal, brother. 1014 00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:57,320 Hey, I got to take one more story. 1015

but he was a 1018 00:58:04,320 --> 00:58:08,320 colonel at Fort Benning and all of your listeners who served 1019 00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:11,320 in the army out of Fort Benning, you know how these 1020 00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:12,320 colonels are. 1021 00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:14,320 They are no adults. 1022 00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:18,320 They know everything about everything. 1023 00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:24,320 And his son played office alarm for me and anybody from 1024 00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:28,320 a cell that played back in the early 2000s will know he 1025 00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:35,320

three-time win. 1114 01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:49,320 That's the fact. 1115 01:01:49,320 --> 01:01:50,320 That happened. 1116 01:01:50,320 --> 01:01:53,320 Jeff Battles was sitting there dying. 1117 01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:57,320 He said, hey, how did you know how to do that? 1118 01:01:57,320 --> 01:02:00,320 I said, listen, sometimes you just got to let them talk, brother. 1119 01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:02,320 Sometimes they just want to talk. 1120 01:02:02,320 --> 01:02:04,320 You just got to let them talk. 1121 01:02:04,320 --> 01:02:07,320 Well, you are absolutely going to have to be a recurring character 1122 01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:12,320 on here because that is just one of your mini stops. 1123 01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:15,320 I got so many great ones. 1124 01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:17,320 Here's what people go over here. 1125 01:02:17,320 --> 01:02:20,320 I coached a team, honestly, got at Zopperkiller, 1126 01:02:20,320 --> 01:02:23,320 that had Barry Larkin's son, 1127 01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:28,320 Jim Griffin Jr.'s son on the team. 1128 01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:29,320 Yeah? 1129 01:02:29,320 --> 01:02:30,320 How about hilarious? 1130 01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:33,320 Oh, I'm sure that you definitely have to come back 1131 01:02:33,320 --> 01:02:36,320 and share some more about that. 1132 01:02:36,320 --> 01:02:39,320 And you guys are hilarious. 1133 01:02:39,320 --> 01:02:42,320 I'm so glad you allowed me to get part of this. 1134 01:02:42,320 --> 01:02:44,320 Well, I'm so glad you agreed to do it. 1135 01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:47,320 This is what we're trying to do. 1136 01:02:47,320 --> 01:02:51,320 Just stuff that we talk about at clinics when we get together. 1137 01:02:51,320 --> 01:02:55,320 Whether we're telling stories on kids or telling stories on each other, 1138 01:02:55,320 --> 01:02:57,320 I don't think the average everyday person understands 1139 01:02:57,320 --> 01:03:01,320 the level of nonsense that we deal with. 1140 01:03:01,320 --> 01:03:03,320 There's no way. 1141 01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:06,320 Whether it's kids that tell us that they caught two cobras 1142 01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:09,320 with the bare hands. 1143 01:03:09,320 --> 01:03:10,320 Oh my God. 1144 01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:12,320 Yeah, we had one do that. 1145 01:03:12,320 --> 01:03:14,320 We shared that with a recruiter the other day. 1146 01:03:14,320 --> 01:03:18,320 We had a recruiting fair and the college coach was looking at us like, 1147 01:03:18,320 --> 01:03:21,320 I think y'all are making this up. 1148 01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:24,320 And I'm like, no, we call that third period. 1149 01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:26,320 That's a normal day. 1150 01:03:26,320 --> 01:03:29,320 That's a normal, freaking day. 1151 01:03:29,320 --> 01:03:31,320 I had a kid one time, you know that little website 1152 01:03:31,320 --> 01:03:33,320 for the hearing impaired? 1153 01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:35,320 Were you type your messages? 1154 01:03:35,320 --> 01:03:39,320 I had a parent that's jelly come screeching up. 1155 01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:41,320 I mean, her core. 1156 01:03:41,320 --> 01:03:43,320 Get her night down. 1157 01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:45,320 Come on. Where's my kid? 1158 01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:49,320 I'm like, man, he's in third period or second period. 1159 01:03:49,320 --> 01:03:53,320 No, he's been murdered at the birth of James. 1160 01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:56,320 I just literally saw him walk in the glass. 1161 01:03:56,320 --> 01:03:59,320 This dummy got into Randy Grace's class 1162 01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:03,320 with all my hearing impaired and it was out like a police. 1163 01:04:03,320 --> 01:04:06,320 I was like, I'm not going to let that person that had been killed 1164 01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:08,320 at the murder case. 1165 01:04:08,320 --> 01:04:10,320 That's fantastic. 1166 01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:13,320 Unreal. You can't make this up. 1167 01:04:13,320 --> 01:04:16,320 No, and we deal with it every day. 1168 01:04:16,320 --> 01:04:18,320 I love it every day. 1169 01:04:18,320 --> 01:04:21,320 Well, brother, I love you, man. I appreciate you. 1170 01:04:21,320 --> 01:04:25,320 I hope to see you. You're going to be at a Nike in Orlando. 1171 01:04:25,320 --> 01:04:29,320 I think the coach has got me talking. 1172 01:04:29,320 --> 01:04:33,320 So you're speaking. All right. All right. 1173 01:04:33,320 --> 01:04:36,320 All right, buddy. Well, I appreciate you. 1174 01:04:36,320 --> 01:04:59,320 All right, brother.
