Boom on a Wednesday. It is a beautiful day out and it is beat Colorado Week. Greatly appreciate you hanging out with us for the next hour. And we have got a night for you here on ticket. We night's on fire tonight. And as the lineups fill up with student athletes and local talent, it's really cool to sit back and kind of watch the growth of this thing. 402, 464, 56685 is the starter.

a text line. If you want to be a part of what we're doing, you can. You can text us. Or you can follow on the video streams, Facebook, YouTube, X. Allo, Channel 961, if you're Miss Jackson and your nest. Jump on Allo and do your thing. Come on and be a part of what we're doing. We've got a good conversation for you. I'm excited. I'm excited. I'm excited. For several reasons, and over the course the next hour, we'll go through some of those reasons. But to be fair and to be honest, there's only one way to do this. Harrison Arns, if you would please.

The autumn wind is a pirate, blustering in from sea, with a rollicking song he sweeps along, swaggering boisterously. His face is weather-beaten. He wears a hooded sash, with a silver hat about his head, and a bristling black mustache. He growls as he storms the country, a villain big and bold.

And the trees all shake and quiver and quake as he robs them of their gold. The autumn wind is a raider, pillaging just for fun. He'll knock you round and upside down and laugh when he's conquered and won. That voice, that clip can only mean one thing we are joined. By the coach himself, Barry Thompson, Fairfax Football Academy, by way of the W&L Generals. That's right. Shout out to my general. Right.

To the generals, whether it be the Washington Liberty Generals now, the Washington, you know, the folks from down Lexington way. Yeah, General. Right. That you are a general in full to give folks a little bit of the backstory. of why this show, this particular hour is so very cool to me. In my life, I have people who come and go, and then I have people who stay. I have people who I am so universally attached to

in several ways by the most important of things. One, he knew me when I had nothing. he knows me now that we have things going well and he is the same captain. He is the same Barry Thompson that he was back in 1974. In 1974, he was the same leader. He was the same friend. He was the same spirit.

He was the same dude. When I met him, in junior high school, he was already the dude. He was the quarterback of a middle school team that was loaded. And this was loaded. And he was the county wrestling champion. And he was the national skating champion. He was all of those things already.

And he was legitimately the most serious and funny dude at the same time. I want to meet this guy. Right, like that I can imagine that, listen. And then when I got to, so I watched him. And Harrison, it's a thing where you watch the person that's a year ahead of you, who has gone through things that you haven't gone through, probably can't really perceive going through. He lived a different life than I did.

People will think that Barry and I are so similar. But we come from different places, different backgrounds. But we met in a place. and then constantly, whether it was through that yarn of connection, admiration, respect, or other, that I was fascinated by this dude who did, I mean, like, I thought I wanted to be a wrestler and okay, but you watch Barry wrestling and go, no, no, that's not it. That's not it for me. I'm going to go shoot this hoop. Like, I'm going to go shoot this hoop because I'm not wrestling that dude. And from a football standpoint, coming to high school where he's an established,

guy established leader of the team and a leader in the school, even as a junior, he's already the guy. And as a senior, he's absolutely the guy that people talked about differently. He worked differently. He played differently. And so I had to, you know what, I'm going to draft with this guy. I'm going to draft with this guy. Whatever good is going to happen here. He's going to be a part of it. He'll dictate how this thing goes, right? Direct impact. And to say that we had on this high school team, we had some dudes.

And Harrison, to tell you that two NFL linemen are on this team and there should have been four or five, that we had a series of five D1 type running backs that just all kind of backs. that just all kind of bounced off each other and played along. Right. Tight in that in every metric was an all-American. And with all of that, Barry was still the guy that when I had doubt, Barry was the,

I can say this, it's you and Reggie Harrison. Reggie Harrison who played for the Steelers, blocked a punt in the Super Bowl, also went to our high school. And our high school had some dudes. So we'll talk about that. But Reggie Harrison was an assistant coach on that team for that team.

And when I had doubts, because I was an underclassman watching seniors who were already under D1 watch, I got frustrated. But in critical moments, Barry Thompson will look over and say, that dude. That dude. So let me publicly in person say thank you to Barry Thompson for all of that. Because listen, no. I'm not here without you. Yeah.

So let me, that's great. And I can go 15 minutes on you and everything that you've done here too. And I did say to you earlier, I really do want to congratulate you on everything that you've done here and make yourself part of the community. And we've talked about the business and so forth. But I think what your story brings up is something that I often tell a group of parents

when they're around young people is those kids, they're going to latch on to you, right? And you don't have any choice in the matter. Somebody's going to look at you and say, yeah, that's what I want. And so you have a responsibility to be the best person that you can be because somebody else is watching it. Even if in a high school level, if they act like they're not watching you, they're watching it.

And so that story kind of brings up, you know, that fact. And so for those guys out there, we always talk about the two and the 22. And just for the audience, we talk about the 22 hours off the field are way more important or heavily influenced the two hours on the field. So if you don't understand that your thoughts and your behaviors and your actions don't directly impact the football player that you say you want to be, you better start understanding it. And as you move along that path and you start doing better yourself,

you do have the ability to influence somebody, impact somebody, and you never really know how much, right? So they own a radio station, they sit down and tell you. Like, it's a thing that there were so many responsibilities in play. And you talk about the two and 22. And I tried to say this to people all the time about the Huskers and about the NBA and about the NFL. That who people are, yeah, we get two hours.

or three-hour pockets to assess and evaluate what happened in the other 165 hours a week. Right, right. And not often do we speak about the 165 plays way more. Yes. What coaches have done, right? Right, how coaches live in the 165, how players live in the 165,

all the other things that happen in the 165. certainly have more impact on the three hours than the three hours on the 160. Absolutely. It's a recognition when you start talking about that it is a people business. So, you know, the higher up you get, you can kind of feel that it's transactional. That, you know, I got this. You, I'll go and play. But at the end, there has to be some emotion, some connection to what you're doing.

And that's established by consistently doing things right in the order. organized fashion by having integrity to the things that you say and do. And that kind of gives people a chance to kind of coalesce. And upholding standards is real important, right? You know, Jimmy Johnson kind of said famously, I don't treat everybody the same, but I treat them fairly. And, you know, whatever your rules are for doing that, they have to be understood. You know, the Cowboys kind of understood, the famous stories that if the kicker fell asleep, he'd cut them. but if it was Michael Irvin, he'd gently lift his head and put a pillow on Nathan. But as long as everybody understands what those rules are, they don't change from day to day.

Those things are really, really important. And you're right. The 100, we're saying three hours for a game, right? 168 hours in a week, but say three hours for the game. Yes, who you are as a person, the people around you, that, you know, that impacts everything. You go back and talk to some of those Patriots and that run that they had. It was very clear the type of guys that Brady will get up and talk about, or Teddy Bruske would talk about the guys that he played with.

And that doesn't always happen. And the reason it doesn't always happen is because so rarely are pro players giving those type of marching rules, right? You know, my Raiders, they had it back in the day. Theirs was wild, but they had it, and it was consistent, and that's how they rolled. But so however the rules are, it is important. Everything leading up to that moment is important. That moment is just a byproduct of everything else, right? You and I have had many conversations about the fact that, as you said, you're being watched.

And as coaches, parents, educators, mentors, etc. You're a leader in a company, people are watching. Yeah. And the thing that is often missed is that the leadership has to live in a way. that represents the best version of what the people under them are trying to live. Yeah, and it's just, it's sometimes when they talk about it, you could kind of think like it's the pressure people watch me. And it's just, that's not the right way to react to it.

It's a responsibility for you as an individual just to do the best that you can. It's not because people are watching it, but you have a responsibility to do the best, not just for yourself, but for others. And so that's what I mean when somebody's watching. They're not like, you know, trying to hawk you out and it shouldn't feel pressure. We're not talking about being perfect. Well, no.

We are not talking about being perfect. Like Harrison, I've brought friends and family around Harrison. And you better believe that Harrison sees it. Yes. Like, it's, wait a minute. And if I brought a whole train of knuckleheads onto the station, right. You're right. He would say, uh-uh, no, sir. No, sir. That is not it for me. Like, D.P., how you live in outside of the studio. Right. Like, what are you doing? And you can't,

like, I certainly can't aspire to that. Like, I don't want to do that. But there's another thing that, that in sports, that coaches have this thing where if they miss it, it's a layup missed. You gave me one of the best compliments and greatest responsibilities you can give me. by allowing your young people to be around me. Yeah. Like you allowed me to coach your son, who was a prized asset, mind you, like, because we knew this was going to be something.

We knew your two young ones were going to be exceptional. Right. So if they're going to be, if you're going to choose me to be around them, I have to then give them something. You bring a good point. When I started my business, one of the things I had to contemplate is I, I thought in the business sense that young people and parents have so many options as to where they can spend their money and spend their time.

And I remember that was just an overwhelming thought for me. I'll bring it to your point. And so I thought, you know, yes, I have all this knowledge. I can help somebody. But I thought, first and foremost, I better find a way to make that, excuse me, that hour spent with me. I better make it valuable somehow, that they feel that that hour spent with me was really worthwhile, that the player would come back,

and that the parents would see it and, you know, oh, that's really good. And that's what you're talking about. And I, when someone chooses me, somebody's saying, I heard about you and they come, and I still feel that same thing. What I'm digging for and what you dig for is I'm trying to figure out how I can get, and I brought this up before,

how can I get the win with this individual? I'm not trying to assess whether they're going to be a first round draft pick or second round draft pick. I'm trying to figure out how do I work with them in a way. We're going to do football as the kind of clothes that we're wearing, but how do I work with them in a way or her in a way that moves this train forward because I don't know what they're going to be. And so I've got to work with them in a way that when they leave me,

they think, man, that was good. that helped me do this. You know, I decided this wasn't for me, but something you said on the field, something we did together, something that still stays with me. And that's first and foremost in my mind. You know, I'll teach you out of throw

and we'll cover all this stuff, but if I don't get a sense of how I can help you, I start to wonder, okay, what are we doing here, you know? So much of your winning and winning defined in, a variety of way but that your engagements are positive and forward

moving right right that you have a statement about where you meet young people right and that's important yes because a lot of coaches don't have that so give the folks your statement on where you meet young people and what you're trying to accomplish with well I'll just say that I think there's an adage out there and I'll mangle it a little bit it's like I won't accept you as you are

I'll accept you for what you can be and if you agree on that we'll work together and go get that. And that has to be said. Yes. And it's a mutual thing of you as a coach leader mentor acknowledging that, hey, listen, I'm here for better. Right. And then them accepting it and saying you can hold me accountable for it.

Yes. And the analogy, because I struggled with, like, why do I have successful quarterbacks and define it? And I thought, the thought that came to me, I work with quarterbacks the way an O-line coach works with players. if you ever been in a high school meeting and you're trying to figure out your personnel, you're always short on the line.

And everybody passed a pick of the litter and they turn the line coach and said, well, who's going to be right guard? And he goes, Earl. And everybody goes, Earl. He goes, he's going to be all right. And they go, really? So yeah, Earl's going to be okay. And what happens is, is what we talked about.

Earl's probably undersized. He's under 200 pounds. Coach likes him because he's a wrestler. He knows the kid work. and he's kind of made a deal with Earl that say, look, if you work hard at this, I'll work hard at this, and we're going to get this done. And so that's the deal that they make.

And then pretty soon the backhanded comment to the O-Line coach is you're probably in the third game, and nobody's talking about Earl. They're talking about the O-Line. Can we get the O-Line to do this, right? But all he did was take a kid that was willing to work, right? And he says, if you're willing to work at this, I'm willing to help you get better at this.

And it's so funny because O-Line coach, coaches that you hear, you hear them curse, you hear them yell, but you don't hear the 500 repetitions he's given Earl on, hey, we're running, this is playside, this is your first step. He gives them all that. At the point he yells at Earl, he's supposed to step with his right foot, plays going right and he steps left. He yells, Earl knows he messed up. And then, then to continue it, what you don't know about is when the season gets in the season, it's all, communicative. They're all talking. Hey, what do you see out there? Now they have a language that they're talking about. So I think I work with quarterbacks a lot the way that an old line coach works with players. And that's

how they get it done. Not enough coaches do that. You know, I don't look at how big they are. It's like, do you want to work? All right, let's go make this happen. Right? Don't tell me you can. All may can is dead. My dad buried them, right? So we're not going to do that thing. And we're going to keep working and working and working.

Yeah, I, somebody once, there's a parent that once described you working with their son as that Barry makes the bread by hand. That you have to get in and get up to the elbow and you can't do it from a distance. You don't want it, you don't necessarily need it pre-package.

You know what? We'll make the work and it'll be worth it. There was a saying, I heard this about quarterbacks guys who are trained quarterbacks. There are guys out there that can take players, see any athlete development. They can take it. The analogy is your car. They can take your car and they can detail and it looks

really nice. And then there's guys who can take your car detail it, but they can lift the hood and make it run better. And hopefully I'm one of those guys that can make it run better, right? And make it look nice too. But the main thing is the car run nice. It's funny. You've never once talk to a quarterback about how they look. Not once, not once, not once generate, like, seriously, it is a thing all in how they run. Yeah. 100%. The, Hey, listen, do I need to pop, do I need to get in the hood here? Yeah. Like, let's talk about, hey, what are we putting in this thing?

Right. It's not working. It's all under the hood. It's all under the hood, right? Through all of it, right, that you decide that I'm going to build quarterbacks. And you could have gone in the full other direction. Full disclosure, Barry could have decided he was going to be a head coach and given up the focus. But what Barry, his reach, the tentacles are spread out.

and he's produced this collection of not only quality quarterback, but really good human beings. The biggest surprise, and I don't know why I didn't think it, is watching my college guys mature, the men that they are becoming because we now have, so we have guys from FBS, FCS, FCS, got Division 2, Division 3, yeah, Division 2 guys, division three guys.

But my next wave of guys that are bucking up at that lower FCS, a group of five, not power five, but they're hitting the same spots where my guys are. And I get these gushing things from the mom that took them there. Yeah, we saw, I'm going to out of them.

We saw Grant and Grant was kind enough to take us around, took us on the tour. And I'm like, that's my boy. Well, it's, it's all planting seeds. Yeah. And providing new. You and I, there's two facets to it. You and I love saying we got one.

Like there'll be these texts along the way that, again, even states apart. And I'll just send the words, I got one. Because when you find out that the young student athlete, one becomes a scholar athlete. Right. Or two becomes an exceptional human being. Yes. In full. And full.

Like we watch it and you go, we got one. Yeah, yeah. And to understand that these, these seeds, your planet because your young people are making more good young people. Yeah. I mean, you know, there's some names here. And another guy, Grant, like, I had another quarterback that's going up for Yale. And I was able to pick up the phone, like, right, hey, I got a guy coming up and you take

care of him. Right? Yeah, I'll be out there and boom. You know, and then Loposki at Delaware, I said, I got a young guy coming to Delaware. It's like, you look out for him. Yeah, I'll take care of it. And low key, just to highlight the fact that. that we're talking about producing Ivy League athletes,

scholar athletes, right? Because the quarterback thing is one thing. Yes. But when those quarterback traits. Let me brag on Rod. Those quarterback mechanisms. Let me brag on Ryan. Rye was a good high school quarterback

and a very competitive program. And then when it came to recruitment, William and Mary, which is a very good school, one of them as a tie then. He went there. He did well. Got on the fields of freshmen coming out of the COVID thing. And then there was a discussion about money.

I'm not talking in Almond, just money for school. And they weren't coming up with it. Rye transferred into Yale. How about them? How are you like that? And the first season, they win the Ivy League championship. And he's sporting the ring. So I'm going to brag about Rye.

And by the way, and Mrs. Yates, if she's listening, her whole litter. because it's not just Rye, it's Kale, his brother, and before Kail, for, gosh, I'm going to get, for, for the receiver, gosh, court, court, court, the receiver was an all region receiver. He's playing in college now. Kale is the youngest that's going through. I mean, the whole Yates family is unbelievable, but yeah. But that's, that's also the thing.

So we're talking to Barry Thompson, quarterback coach, Fairfax Football Academy out in Fairfax, Virginia. And he's got young people all over the play. And as they grow into grownups, they're leading more young people. And that is a funny thing because a lot of our players are now coaches. Yes. Like a lot of our former players are high school coaches now. I ran into that.

There was a pad camp at Fairfax High School. And so I looked, there was a quarterback at Fairfax. I'm just rattling names. Fairfax, West Springfield is a quarterback. Herndon had a quarterback. W.L. of course, had a quarterback. Langley had a quarterback. And there was one more team there.

And then I look, cross and a kid that had trained with me, he's the quarterback coach at Fairfax. It was crazy. To go through it and to be clear, one of my favorite things is watching the evolution of what Fairfax football

does and who it reaches. Because it started with a couple. Yes, yes. Like what he said, you know, there's some days that were too infused, right? I have a picture, some Mrs. Marcienda, I think, called it. I'm dropping all these names that won't mean anything to anybody unless they hear the broadcast, but these are great people. She called it. It was a little field at Providence Park,

and she caught it. It was probably five kids out there. And so now it's, you know, about 100 a week. Yeah. Just literally. And a part of my frustration here is I don't hear and see that in Lincoln. and I would it would set up. I mean, there have been some quarterbacks here. And I don't, before anybody comes at me, just saying, you know, I didn't say Lincoln had quarterbacks. What I don't see is the volume and the quantity that I would see in some other markets, some of that size.

Yeah. But I think purposeful organization matters. I think it's something, you know, we talked a little bit about my skating thing. One of the things when I was training the skating, I knew that there were all these good skaters that were. round. And I just remember as a young guy having a dream, wouldn't it be really cool if they all got together and they trained together. It never happened a little bit at the rink that I was at, but I knew there were more that could come together. And I think subconsciously, when I started,

that was probably something that happened because, you know, there's been years where I have all the quarterbacks from one of the top conferences in the state of Virginia of Concord. Like not every quarterback that was there. Two years ago when I was at Westfield, There were 14 games, two scrimmages, 10, regular season game, two playoff games. There was only one week where I looked across the sideline, and there wasn't a quarterback. And by the way, that quarterback that week, he trains with me now. He's at Concord. So in the Liberty District that we're in, a lot of the kids are with me.

It just changes. Some years I'll have in the six levels of the playoffs, I'll have a kid in every playoff wrong except maybe 1A. so six through two right um you know and and they get to they get to be around each other they know each other and they train with each other and i think it you know aren't let's say iron sharpens i think it's who you train with is important so lincoln like if there's somebody here get it together like don't be jealous bring them together good players training with each other they absorb and here's the thing about it in the group training format when a quarterback is

in. He's coming to the workout with a different mindset because he knows there's three or four guys there that are going to be better than him that day or better on a throw than he is. And he's a competitive guy. And then the most important thing is he leaves the workout change because when he's by himself, now it's not just an old man saying, hey, you know, they're out there working hard. He knows they're out there working hard. Right. And he knows he's going to come back in a week and he wants to be better. And he knows that the guy that he's competing with spots and wins. Right.

It's working hard. Exactly. Like you can't sit at home right now when your rival is doing it. We'll throw it to break. Barry, we'll come back. We'll talk a little bit more about this quarterback game. We'll talk about Dylan Ryola. We'll talk about the quarterback play.

What it's like in this and Shador Sanders. They're two totally different dudes. Yeah. But there's lots to talk about Barry Thompson, DP, on one-on-one, 937 the ticket. Barry Thompson from Fairfax Football Academy. me, I'll let you all know how to reach him and reach out to him at the end of the next segment. I do want to remind folks, it is Colorado Week. And if you do not have your tickets, if you do not have your tickets,

there are several ways for you to get your tickets. No, no, this is me. We have tickets. Yeah, we're streaming only, so it's fine. Okay, never mind. Yeah. No, no, no, no. But we have tickets.

Okay. We have tickets. I have tickets. What are you talking about? Yeah. So there are ways for you to win tickets from the ticket. There are ways. A couple things of votes.

So you have to follow the ticket on social media. Find them, find us on Facebook. There is an actual post that says, if you like and share this, we will choose that will qualify you to be a part of who we choose from to give those tickets. Also, X, Twitter, same thing. The post is there. If you like and share that text, we will choose one of the people from that. We'll put the names, all the usernames,

we'll put them in a bag and we'll shake it up and we'll pull one out and give you two tickets to see the Huskers beat Colorado. And then here at 11th and O, the mill, the ticket, this location that we're at, If you come down and make a purchase, you buy coffee or a smoothie or whatever it is, you buy a burrito, whatever, your name goes into the box and we will draw two sets of winners from the box right here at the mill. So again, you have three ways. Don't have to break your bank. If you can't get down here before then, get on social media and get busy. If you can get down here, and I'm just going to say, I'm just going to tell you, at last check.

there were 700 plus shares on on X so one in 700 is kind of the odds Facebook probably 400 shares one and four pretty good shot here at the mill I could tell you there's probably 60 tickets in that in that in that in that box look at somebody's running right now yeah you got a better shot don't trip don't trip and fall and I try to do that I'm trying to do that but come down and at 12 noon Friday, we will give out all four of those pairs of tickets. Adam Carricker Show, 12 noon, we will give the four winners. So if you don't have your tickets and you want that done, you have until 12 o'clock Friday. Just share, like and share on social media or get your butt down here to the ticket and to the mill and make a purchase and you can do that as well.

So again, we're looking at it's the hookup. We're also Friday at the apothecary from 4 to 530, courtesy of the folks from the Omaha World Herald. We're going to bring put together a Husker event. Think of the Big Red brunch, but it's just Big Red Happy Hour, Big Red Happy Hour is what we're going to call it. 4 to 530, they'll be Huskers there.

Taking pictures, chatting it up, doing the whole shebang. Tickets, you can get them on the Omaha World Herald site, or we're going to, We have a table of 10, which means we have five pairs. And through the same names that we put into this ticket draw, we're going to invite five pairs of people to come down and hang out with the Huskers for the half hour. So lots going on.

Lots of ways for you to engage and react. Harrison's like, yeah, but I saw an email today saying not to solicit tickets. No, that was, we had people who were trying to sell tickets or buy tickets via our text line. and on air. And I was like, no. Okay. No. Got to.

Got two. You got two. Yeah. There was a lot of that going on. And I'm sitting in the back and I hear it. And I came sprinting out and going, nope, we're not doing that. That is not how we're going to do it. My captain.

My captain. My captain. Barry Thompson. Fairfax Football Academy here. And Barry, to talk about this Colorado game in full requires. I mean, you can talk about Matt Ruhl and Dion. And I kind of want to close with that. But to talk about Chador Sanders as the number one candidate for best quarterback in the country.

Right. What is it as a quarterback coach, when you think, when I say the name Chador Sanders, what comes to mind? What makes him special? He's a chess player. It was even in his first year, you could see that he wasn't, he was trying to figure things out. I mean, not like in a fumbling, incompetent way, but in a surgical way. He wasn't just doing, everything that he was doing was intentional. And you saw that premise work out a couple times last year where kind of whatever,

and then all of sudden things were going. You particularly saw it in the game was the last week. North Dakota State. North Dakota State. A good team. That North Dakota State quarterback made a lot of money that night. but Chador was never frustrated, constantly kind of figuring things out,

and proof was that he was loading that computer because he is becoming a big moment guy, right? What was it? How many yards was it? 95 yards or something like that with 40, 50 seconds left? I mean, he had been collecting all that information. He knew exactly how that drive was going to go, what he needed to get them down the field.

So he is playing at a very, very, very different level. And I think I talk to you, I think people could think that he's about the flash. He's not about the flash. You would be missing everything about him if you watch him play. He is a highly intelligent player, a very intentional player, very prepared player. And then on top of that, he has a high skill level. So you put that in the box now.

And we talk about who you hang out with. Well, who's he been hanging out with? Yeah, Mr. John. And absorbing every bit of that that he can. And he's a guy who Jay was talking about. He's probably to the point where he's studying defenders too. I got a quick story about that, what Jay was talking about. It's a Ray Lewis story.

They were going to a Pro Bowl, and Ray knew Peyton's wife and so forth. He was down there and just kind of chatting up with her. And she suddenly turns to Ray and says, you know he studies you and Ray said what? Yeah, he watches film just of you. And from that point, Ray said, okay, bet he went home and built a film studio and did that. I brought that story up because I bet Chodor already has that room built.

And so that's what it is. So don't miss a really good player and an emerging, very smart, very intelligent quarterback who is going to be the type of guy who will fairly consistently deliver when it needs to be delivered. I think that's what's coming for him. Yeah, I think most fans are missing the layup with Chador and Travis in that they are cerebral assassins. And they maneuver folks and they understand the mechanics of it,

the schematics of it. And the philosophy of it. Right. You got to throw a horn in there too. Yeah. You got to throw a horn in there too. I think people are not real. Well, he's another generational player, and he's been fed.

He's been around the game at a high level since he was a child. And I'm going to say a horn as good as he is. I know the way that Chador and Travis work and prepare. I know that's affected him. Yeah, the draft certainly plays. But it's also, when you talk about second generation, you're talking about Dylan Riola and the fact that he's gotten it from a different perspective. And the work ethic, you have to compartmentalize Dylan Ryola's talent and skill sets.

That his toughness, his physical toughness, emotional toughness, psychology behind him, he understands it, his maneuverability, right? Not mobility, maneuverability. And then you get into the skill sets and those things. This is a talented young man. Give me the quarterback coach pitch on Dylan Ryel. Well, he also hangs around some pretty good people, too.

Yep. Shout out to Coach Christensen. And then whatever his connection is with Mahomes, if he's having conversations with them, it's like a long time ago, I don't want to lose the audience, but early in LeBron's career, you want to know how people handle money.

Well, he was meeting with Warren Buffett. Right? So when you see young people kind of attaching themselves to those types of things, you say, okay, we're on the right track. We're listening to right. Dylan, in my opinion, as a young quarterback, just because we haven't seen a lot of them,

I maintain the best setup for him is the setup that he had in the spring and the setup that he had last week where he's not forced to do many things and here's why I think it's important because it will ingrain in him like how to win a football game and how he will win a football game

become a special player, my opinion, will be he learns how to make the layups and how important they are and then his ace up his sleeve is his mobility and his arm strength and and everything else. You just don't want to start the game out putting your whole cards out, right? You want to hold them back a little bit and him being kind of having the opportunity to say, hey, we got a good defense. We don't need to take a chance there.

You know part of his personality, some of the throws that he made, like I looked at him all like, I didn't know like why are you doing that. But part of his personality is he would say, yeah, I shouldn't have done that. but part of his brain was like, yeah, dismissed by the punch, right? And so you want some of that, right? You want a lot of that because he is going to make those throws and he is going to get a receiver to make those catchers.

But he just, hopefully he doesn't have to reel it all out. And I think it would be a mistake for him to think that he's on this platform and he needs to match Shador. He doesn't. In my book and when I write the job description of a quarterback, the first three objectives are a total of six words, win the game, win the game, win the game. Job wants to do whatever your team needs you to do to win the game.

And for him, it may be just completing the easy stuff, avoiding a sack, not turning a ball over, and let this defense do what it's supposed to do, figure out enough in the run game that they can get some yards when they need it, and just hold on for dear life. Maybe that's how they win the game. Yeah, it's going to be that kind of chess match. but he doesn't need to match the door.

Yeah, that part, and it had to be set. And we keep reminding folks. All right, we'll throw it to one more break. Then we'll come back and we'll ask Barry Thompson the question that we need to ask him. What are you cooking, Barry Thompson? What are you cooking? What do you eat? Barry Thompson, quarterback coach, one-on-one, 93-7, the ticket.

A segment with Barry Thompson one-on-one. Harrison, what's ticket weeknights like tonight? We've got a full schedule. after this one, as always, we'll have the former Husker, DeMorne, Pierceyne, and then we get Kendall Liner from 1011 News.

She'll have a guest in as well. And then after that, the Malone radio show 10 to, or excuse me, 9 to 10 o'clock, as always come Wednesday nights. And then from there, depending if the Royals are already done,

we'll have some replays for you as well. Yeah, doesn't, in Nick recording something for a happy hour for it? Yep, and I think the plan is for that one. We might drop that tomorrow. We'll wait for Nick on that one. I understand. It should be.

a good show. Talking Colorado football, so we'll make sure we get a big audience for that one. Yeah, and I'm gonna, you get,

we, we're Virginia boys, we gotta get you straight. It's Lanier. Lanier. Lanier. That is the grandson of the greatest

linebacker in Kansas City Chief's history. Willie Lenny. That is the, yeah, that is, that is Richmond, Virginia's finest right there.

Yeah, Willie Lanier. I was like, you know, 63 was a dude. And Buck Buchanan. Buck Buchanan, Bobby Bell.

You know, they had some bees back there. Emmer Thomas in the back end, getting it done. Nick just finished up. So he's loaded up. So it'll be there. Barry Thompson,

it is the question. What are you cooking? A lot of options. I think if you're tailgating or a big gathering around the house or these rooftops that I've seen. Yes, sir. I think a large shrimp boil

would be really good. Good. You get your crab boil seasoning. You can find it. One of my favorite sounds, one called Slap Your Mama. You can follow any directions for your boil. You get your water going. You put your potatoes in. You put your smoked sausage, undoey sausage, if you can get it. You put your corn in. And those things absorb all the flavor that you put into that water. And then at the right time, just going with your shrimp. If you have access to some crawfish, throw those in. some places you can find them frozen. That's a great. Then you strain it and dump that out on the table with some newspapers and just get busy and then pick the papers up and throw them in the garbage. I think it's a great way if you're getting together, even a tailgate, right? No must, no fuss, a little bit out of the bag, right?

You can get your wings. You can get your burgers. You can get those after when you get hungry again. But a good shrimp oil would be great. Barry, we got about 90 seconds, and you have been visiting around Lincoln. What's the scouting report on Lincoln, Nebraska, from the outside? Lincoln is great. Haven't been in this town in probably over 40 years or so, and certainly things have changed,

that doesn't, but what hasn't changed are the people. And they are in Nebraska nice. They talk about Minnesota and I say Nebraska nice. Curteous on the roads, plenty of parts. parking, just fun, fun, easy layout to the towns, you know, that kind of grid layout, one-way streets and everything else. But yeah, really good place. I pick great weather, right?

I put awesome weather. Just Nebraska nice is nice. It is an absolute joy. Again, if in 1974, 1975, you say, hey, you and I are going to be doing a radio show in Lincoln, Nebraska in 2024. Hey man, you want to talk about how impressive the universe. You want to talk about how impressive is we could have sat in the locker room at Washington Lee High School in Arlington, Virginia, and playing it and said, hey, guess what, Lincoln, Nebraska, we're coming. Yeah, we're coming.

We're coming. Don't go anywhere. That's very times that I'm DP. Harrison Arons. They will take you through with DPE. Full night on the ticket. Stay tuned.
