big Nate dog in the building holdingdown per usual, the man himself,
the legend right over there in theh Mister fam you try to pull out
that wild Texas out. That's howto remember. It ain't like saying Dallas,
LA. You know what I'm sayingout of big city of Austin.

(01:08):
It's like where's Wiley, Oh,that's north east of Dallas. You know.
Just I don't know. The stateis too large, you know,
my My state isn't that large,So I don't know, Washington ain't large.
Washington is not that large. Man. We go five hours from west
coast to the east coast, youcan go. You can spend ten hours
on a on a road trip withNate Newton and you're still not gonna hit

(01:30):
the edges of Texas. Man,you know what I'm saying. And they
speaking on Texas and in the stateof Washington. I know, last we
talked a little bit about hockey alittle bit, right, and then in
last series, you know they SeattleCracking took the Dallas Stars all the way
seven seven game series, all theway to the edge. Yeah, and

(01:53):
we did the same thing previously withthe or the defending champions okay from from
last year. We took them tothe seven games and we happen to beat
them in the first round. Onething that you know about Seattle is they
gonna fight. It doesn't matter whatSeattle franchise it is. This. They
gonna fight, Nate, They're gonnafight you tooth and nail. They may
win, sometimes sometimes they may lose. But you know what you're getting into

(02:15):
when you face the team from Seattle. That's right. Do you feel the
same way about Dallas organizations? Notalways Ate. Nah Uh, It's just
it's just the nature of the beastman. Uh Uh. You know,

(02:36):
Dallas, you know, it's justI can't put my finger on it because
from Florida overall were one of thosestates where you know, we'll check you
on that, we'll call you onthat, we'll tell you. You know,
a lot of years people wouldn't wouldn'tgo see the bucks. Yeah,
and if you don't win, they'renot going. Yeah, they're not gonna

(02:57):
you know, they got to seesome type of some type of growth,
some type of one to some typeof hunger. So yeah, and I
don't want to say that it's gottabe like La has gotta be glitz and
glitter and all of that, butyou gotta have you gotta have some toughness
about you man too. You knowto some states just ooze that, like

(03:21):
Philadelphia. Yeah, they're not gonnasupport you. I mean, they're not
going to just keep But my questionis, Nate, like, and let
me give you the reason, thebackground why I ask you this question.
Because the reason why I asked thisquestion, it might be a little little
spike, you know, it mightbe a little spike because the Dallas Stars
did knock out my Seattle cracking inthe second round of the NHL Playoffs.

(03:43):
But the next opponent in the thirdround that the Stars at the face is
the Las Vegas Knights. Okay,and the loss and the and the Dallas
Stars took the Las Vegas Knights toovertime the first two games of the series,
Nate, But what happened recently inthe third game of the series and
my seven game series, Nate,right right, the Dallas Stars got offered

(04:06):
four. Oh okay, what's theseries right now? Two? One,
three, zero? No? Nah, nah, man, No, it
can't be like that. I mean, you go time over the time and
then you just act like you andsauced it down. They got nothing left

(04:28):
in the tank, ain't got nothingin there, ain't got nothing on your
hands. You ain't gonna make itnow, I mean Bosston Celtics. Man.
Wow. So I don't know ifthe Los Angeles Lakers laid laid the
footprint down for for Dallas. Butit's not looking good, Nate. That's
all I'm saying. I know allthe Stars fans are feeling good, and

(04:49):
all of a sudden, now theydown old three. Not only that,
Nate, let me tell you howflustered they got, because I know you
don't. You don't You're not keepingup with the honey stuff. No,
Jamie Benn is there happen? Okay? You know that name. That's right,
I knew Jamie Bean. The DallasStars gave up a goal in the
first two minutes of the game.Turs two or three minutes gave up a
goal. Following that goal, JamieBean got in little little tussle to one

(05:13):
of their players. The player fallson the ground. You know, he's
on skates. He falls on theground. Instead of just talking mess to
him, you know what he does, Nate. He takes the stick,
puts it in his other hand andcross checks him in his throat on the
ground. Wow, he frustrated,Jamie being frustrated? Man, Is that
how you do it in the NHL. No, that's pretty dangerous. That's

(05:36):
what we call bush league, Nate, you know, we thought bush league.
That's brush league. So he gothe got kicked out the game.
They kicked him out of the game, and I personally believe that he should
be suspended for the rest of theseries for real. I mean, because
that's dangerous, right, That's that'skind of real, dude, Yeah you
could have killed that dude. ButI mean, I say, I'll have

(05:58):
to say, when I think aboutDallas sports man, I think it's not
consistent. And I'm curious as towhy each of these sports cities are either
competitive across the board, non competitiveacross the board, or some teams are

(06:19):
good, some teams are bad.Right, But you would think for cities
like Seattle, cities like Boston,cities like Philly, there are cultures that
coexist amongst all the franchisees no matterwhat the sport is, where there's a
toughness about them, there's a gritabout them, there's an approach that they
have to the game. And I'mwondering why that is not across the board

(06:43):
here here in Dallas. Man.I've always wondered because when I first got
to the Cowboys, it's still someNow it has to be a team that
it's much better than the Cowboys.Before the stands are gonna be full before

(07:04):
the game. If they think youequal to the Cowboys, are less than
the Cowboys, it'll be middle ofthe second quarter before everybody's in the stands.
Same with the Mavericks, you know, saying you know, I don't
know how it is with hockey,but I see the hockey people like they
be getting to the game earth.Yeah. But but even with baseball,

(07:29):
even though the Rangers got a strongfollowing, everybody just lily gangs in unless
just the Yankees come into town.The Dodgers, uh, and their fans
and even the media are soft inthe questions that they said, you said
they whatn't soft? I mean,awft like soft. I mean, bro,

(07:57):
you can spend it, accent itemode yet however you want. I
used to be looking now when Iplayed, we had got like Randy Galloway
and Richard Dan the dude used tolike Sharadi used to be, hey,
man, I heard this, andthey be fronting you and they begin there
and they are said in a newspaperand then and they were and they were,

(08:20):
you know, but and today,I mean, it's gonna got soft
over the years, you know,where they have the inside guys that they
you know, they ain't gonna saynothing about, you know, like like
like mister ben there if that ifwhat he did was bush league and below
par, you know, I wouldeven want to know how many media types

(08:41):
for Dallas. That's saying, Hey, that ain't right. Uh, that's
a snake venture. At least checkus out. This is how bad it
gotten. Okay, and not onlydid he pull a bush league move and
could have could have, you know, really hurt this dude, but he
I kicked out the game. Okay. They they were getting blown out so

(09:03):
bad and the effort level was sobad by from Dallas that the fans started
throwing garbage on the ice. Wow. Yeah, stop the game, cleaning
off the game and cleaning up Nate. So the combination of both of those
things. The owner, the ownerCEO, whoever it was, came out

(09:24):
the next morning and put out astatement, and the statement was to apologize
not only for Jamie Benn, butalso for what the hometown team crowd did
to disrupt the game. Right,I'm gonna tell you something. I'm gonna
tell you something. You know,I told it takes a certain it takes

(09:50):
a certain athlete. First of all, I'm moving to the side of a
little I'm gonna moving bar a littlebit. It takes a certain Like I
tell people, anybody can come playingdoctors. Well, it's for the three
major sports Baseball, basketball, football, And now that you're into hockey,

(10:11):
hockey. Anybody can come play inDallas sports. I tell people everybody can't
play in New York. Everybody definitelycan't play in Philly. You know,
certain players, No, I can'ttake my talents to this town because the

(10:33):
fans don't play. They demand more, They ask for more, and they
want to see it. And theywill take the blue collar worker alive Philly.
They'll take a blue collar worker andlive with that till they can get
something better than to take the guyas you know, oh well a whole

(10:56):
home. You know, media goingto ask those questions. The radio stations
are, uh, they they I'mgonna tell you how good they are.
As much as we hate Fitty,they are. Radio broadcast teams are always
ranked amongst the top ten, noless than the top five team in the
nation, because they're gonna ask whatthe fans feel. Okay, you know,

(11:20):
they're gonna you know, and that'sand that's that's interesting. They because
I'm not sure if our listeners understandthat there's a relationship between the media and
the players and the media and theorganizations. That mean, at least here
in Dallas, they're pretty tight knit. Yeah, they still they still have
a job to do. But ifI am a member of the media and

(11:41):
you being they you're the player,I still have to be cordial with you
so that when I do have somequestions that need to be answered, that
you're actually willing to actually answer them. Yes, yes, I can't.
The Dallas media doesn't necessarily drag theDallas sports cars, right, they don't

(12:01):
players. So what you're saying isin Philly and in New York they don't
give a dog on. It's anaccountability factor. Oh yeah, I mean
because, uh, John Wick betterknown as Aaron Rodgers, Aaron Rodgers gonna
known as John Wick. You lethim have two or three bad games in
New York. He can be outwith his with that with that pretty girl

(12:22):
on his arm. If he won't, he'd be like, hey man,
you need to get off that throwingon because the two interceptions you throw this
pad week, there'll be in therestaurant telling him this, what about it?
And that darrel walk up to thatin the restaurant, try to tell
him about who he got on hisown, let alone, why he throwing
all these other deceptions? You know, It's just I mean, the thing

(12:43):
is, you can't play everywhere.With with that, uh, you have
to bring that high school mentality.And what I mean by that is not
not not that a bush league stuffat I'm talking about that determination you had
when you was in high school aboutgetting to the pros. As as guys

(13:05):
matriculate, their weigh up the ladder, they get in college and they get
a little less, the desires stillleft, but the determination that I would
do anything to get there kind ofleaves guys because you know, the money
is bigger, which it is allrelevant. You know it was big to
us back then. Well, it'sa certain amount of hunger. I'm I'm

(13:28):
glad you brought that up. Someteams and communities want I'm glad you brought
that up because I know some weeksback we met with a gentleman from the
NILO about the nil right and thenmy nil pay and talked about how these
players are now getting paid and thebig universities are really yes there. The
recruiting has gone to a whole otherlevel because now the business as right,

(13:54):
because business has got into a money'snow into sports and falling to the players
that college even before college right.But speaking directly about the college athletes,
how do you feel now about theseathletes that are going to universities simply because
of the name, instead of goingto universities based upon their ability to develop

(14:16):
and perform as players. Some ofthese competitors in high school or a lower
level, working the way up tohigh school and then being able to have
an opportunity to go to college.They're going to university doesn't even knowing that
they're gonna be second third string,not even touched the field, but they
want to just wear that brand ontheir chest. How do you feel about
this type of athlete now that existsversus an athlete that you grew up around,

(14:39):
competing against every day. And I'mgonna be honest. I'm gonna be
honest. If you're a kid withno guidance, I feel sorry for you.
You have no parents, nobody thatof authority that can help you.
I feel sorry for you because whenyou fall, the fall that's gonna be
great. It's gonna be like anavalanche and it's gonna pile on you.

(15:03):
If you're a kid with some typeof guidance, some type of authority,
parents, that authority, Wow,are you really are you really gonna miss
out on what this kid should begaining as far as advancing itself and his
career, not football, but I'mtalking about his academic career or in the

(15:26):
character of person he gonna be.It's this person willing to accept the responsibilities
which I wasn't as a pro athlete, and it took me a long time
as a grown man. So I'mlooking at these children now with a lot
more quicker than I ever thought.So, now, what do you do
now when these kids start tumbling backto the crib and looking at you with

(15:50):
that even like like a hoodile,What do I do? Now? Who?
Who? What happens? Now?I'm serious? What do you do?
And I think about that? Anduh and and I know you don't
want to hear it, but ithas no Christian base, no, no

(16:10):
Christian base. Now we've now wegot to deal with the mental aspect of
the same because they have no Christianbase to fall back on, you know,
no, no no beliefs, nobasic human beliefs of what's right,
and no godly values of what's right. So now these kids, and I'm
some of these two categories, thosewith authority as greedy parents people of authority,

(16:34):
and then these kids that just seeit, I'm gonna get by bag
and bag gonna get really empty afterthree years if you don't try out to
be the kids you think you are. No, I think you're absolutely correct
on that, Nade. I thinkpeople are chasing the wrong thing. Until
that point. You know, youand I are both believers. The foundation
and the principles are not in place, so they don't have anything to rest
on. There. They're being they'rebeing distracted by the things of the world,

(16:57):
and it's taking them off the atthat they're supposed to be on.
But even even before the collegiate level, right, I can bring up my
daughter. My daughter is eleven yearsold and she's a soccer player, and
or at around eleven twelve years old, it starts getting a little crazy in
the soccer realm. Okay, thesoccer realm, it starts getting wild.
You started, you'd be surprised.Now these kids getting recruited at eleven years

(17:18):
old, like like you, likeyou in college, like Nick Saban showing
him like he's nick kid. Yeah, I understand. I believe. I
believe, yeah, because you gotall these clubs and this is this goes
across soccer, this goes basketball,baseball, at least here in Texas.
Texas athletics and youth athletics are absolutelyinsane. So it's very competitive. And
anytime you're in a competitive field andyou have a lot of options, a

(17:41):
lot of choices, teams are gonnacome get you if you if you got
some skills to the parents, whatwould you say, Nate to the parents
that are trying to decide on wheretheir kids should be in terms of their
competition level, that they're gonna besurrounded around, based upon their coach and
based upon they're comfortable. The stateof being comfortable, right, you're having

(18:04):
to get out of their comfort zoneto be in a more competitive environment,
to be to have that drive tobe challenged every day here or should they
remain as a top dog or wherethey're at. I'm gonna tell you this
here. First of all, knowyour child, and once again it's two
categories. It's the supervised and theunsupervised. If you're a good parent or

(18:27):
somebody of authority, don't care aboutthis kid more than the glamor know your
kids maturity level. I see alot of people advanced their kids. Oh
I'm not gonna let her play withthe nine year olds I'm gonna take them
to the eleven year olds. Okay, Now when they become an average person,
how do you handle that? Areyou going to be that parent to

(18:48):
sit down and try to explain tothem why are you doing what you're doing
and hope that they buy in allyou say, Okay, let me give
another year at nine year old,and then when you get ten, out
to the level. You know,and so you have to look at each
shower, Isaiah. I know youhave people walk up to you all the
time asking for advice, and Itry to give the same advice. Who

(19:11):
who and what? Are trying toput it right in English terms? Who
who is your kid? What istheir mentality? How close are you with
your kids? Are he? Isshe? A? He? A follower?
Or is he a potential? Characteristics? Now, so all of these

(19:33):
things, yeah, yeah, soall of these things come into place.
I know your baby girl, andshe's excited about and she'll buy into anything
you buy into. I can justtell that when anything daddy saying it,
she gonna buy into it. Buta lot of kids ain't like that.
A lot of kids a kid driven. Where's my friend? I was kid

(19:55):
driven? My coach wanted me toplay Varston in high school, but all
my wars was on j V,So for two or three games, I
missed Varsha because I was, uh, you with your friends, you know,
I want to be with my friends, and we balled out and we're
friends to this day because I guessthey look back. It's a big new
riding with us, and I wantto ride with you for so long,

(20:17):
you know what I'm saying. Yeah, So you gotta know your kids.
You gotta be LinkedIn to your kidwith all these sports, because I'm telling
y'all sports win, but go ahead, no, no, I mean you're
you're hitting it on the head.I'm kind of curious because there's so many
parents now whose kids are in athleticsand you have these you have these these

(20:37):
parents that are that are YouTube warriorsnow and anything that they can go watch
everything on YouTube and all of asudden be an expert to teach your kid
and know the direction to push theirkids. It's it's hard for parents in
those positions to really direct their kids, I feel, effectively, because they
don't have an understanding of what's requestwired to compete at the next level,

(21:02):
regardless of what that next level is. If you haven't been through it,
I'm not sure that you can.This isn't all the time obviously, right
cause you know somebody's gonna say,well, I could do that. I
would say majority of the time,I think it's hard for parents to understand
the psychology of sports at the competitivelevel if you haven't been there. Would

(21:26):
tell yourself, as I have seensome weird stuff and I've walked away,
I would say this a thousand times. Please know your kid, no where
he or she mentally up about,no where they're at. Yeah. I've

(21:53):
seen kids that were nine years oldhad the ability of a twelve year old,
but their bodies was like nine yearolds. Are you trying to stick
him with these twelves? And I'mtelling about tackle football and I've seen this

(22:15):
and I'm looking at okay, justlet this kid grow a little bit because
his parents, their parents were Yeah, I said, I was like,
wow, if in the ruin thiskid, And before the practice was alway
the kid over there shaking his headand I'm gonna tell you the story.
Let me tell you this story.Let me tell you something. I used
to ride by this park on mybike years and years ago, and I

(22:40):
saw this kid man, Oh,blessed, it's hard, had all the
heart in the world. I wantto say. He was about the size
of your little girl, man,but a kid was like five inches taller
than him, about twenty pounds bigger, And this coach was like, tackle
him when you played this past week. You gotta know at tackle kids bigger
than you and I and I wasover about one. One older gentleman say

(23:06):
that, ain't that ain't gonna work. That ain't right. He didn't know
who I was, and I'm glad. He said, Well, you know
it's people like you that's always gotsomething to say. You ain't out there
helping to kids. I say,sir, you know what, You're right.
But before they left that practice,I know that kid was broken.

(23:26):
And I just said to myself.Now people are saying me, well,
why why didn't you take over andlet them know who you was? No,
if you're if you're dumb enough tolet your kid that's six inches shorter
than another kid about fifty pounds bigger, run over your kid and you let
a coach think that it's cool.But you know what you are here,

(23:48):
dumb, dumb, And I wantto say something else, parent, Yeah,
I know, I know, Isaid, I just I just got
on my bike. I looked alittle while longer, and I just knew
that I knew the end result ofthat that kid was gonna go home and
go have second thoughts about football whenthey shouldn't even be like that. And
that creates so much resentment from thefrom the kids to the parent because these

(24:11):
parents are pushing their kids in adirection. To your point, if you
have to know your kid, yeah, just because just because you might be
friends with another parent and their kidmight be capable, it doesn't mean that
your kid is so pushing your andknowing your kid a and putting them in
a position to be successful. Butthen secondly, no one their limits,
right, knowing their limits, Nate, you're talking about you're talking about physical

(24:32):
limits, and you also hinted towardsthe mental capacity, Right, they're ability
to be a handle emotional distress,be able to have emotional intelligence, be
able to handle the stressors that comeswith Hey, you're now challenged. Right,
you might have been the top doghere, but now all of a
sudden, now you're going to bechallenged every day. How are you going
to respond to that? Are youputting them in an environment to simply just

(24:53):
respond to that. Are you puttingthem in environment to learn how to how
to acquire that new characteristic. There'sthere's so much that was into it,
man, um, and it's justunfortunately everybody doesn't see it that way.
You know, I had friends aroundme, man, I'm telling you,
man, my baby boy trade hadstopped football, and I remember his first

(25:14):
concussion. I wasn't intelligent enough toeven understand that he was at but one
of my friends said, nay,no, no, you know, don't
put him back in here. Thatain't Your son is tough something, right,
And that's when I noticed he hadhis first concussion when he was a
little kid. And I'm like wow, And I looked back to that,
like, man, it ain't justeverybody. If you don't know, yeah,

(25:38):
and something go wrong, you don'tjust keep pushing your kid. This.
This is not college. They don'teven notice in high school. This
is not college. This is notthe pros where the training can look at
you and say, oh, holdon, hold on, hold on.
Yeah, you know, this ain'ta toughness thing. We know you're tough.
Let's let's let's sittle in and getsome things going and luckily the guy

(26:03):
told me to set my baby downand he gathered himself because he was crying.
I'm like, man, just getyou know. And I look back
now and I said, God forgiveme and I and that's that's when I
just looked at after I saw whathaving to my kid and got some knowledge.
Then I've seen this kid, youknow, I said, you know
what you know? I want toChristian then, so I didn't pray a

(26:23):
numb but I just shook my headlike, wow, they're breaking their own
kids. Yeah, you know,unfortunately, And so this is this is
the thing I'm gonna say right here. How in the world. See,
when you're a fan, I lovethis, you pay your money, you
make your sacrifices. I love this. But when you're a parent or guardian

(26:48):
or someone, how can your competitiveedge that burns in you? How are
you going to let kill this kid, erect this kid? Your competitive edge
and lack of knowledge gonna wreck thisbaby? Wow? How did you man?
That's that's deep name. How didyou not? Because I struggle.

(27:10):
I was a struggle. I haveto temper my competitiveness when it comes to
my kids, because I don't Ithink I was in a different category of
competitiveness. I just and I gotto say, I say past tense because
that's when I was being actually athletic. These hamstrings won't let me live no

(27:30):
more. But but I'm still acompetitor and absolutely everything that I do.
And you do that. But howdid you separate the expectations that you had
of yourself and not put those offon your kids when they were not ready
to take on that responsibility. Andit's hard. We can we compete at

(27:52):
the highest level. My oldest boy, he was he burned. He burned
harder than what I did. Hewas way more competitive than me. I
was just a big, fun loving, god gifted athlete. So you know,
I didn't get the competitive too.I kind of got it, got
it into the pros. That's whenI really got a competitiveness. But I

(28:17):
was just god guilted. But myson, whe went to Tech, he
was really competitive. My baby whenthe ut San Antonio, he thought he
was competitive until it came time weneed to work out or we need to
do extra wasn't there? You knowwhat I'm saying. Yeah, and so,

(28:37):
but what what I wanted for mykids if they were athletically a gifted,
like both of them were. Ineeded them degrees. And I told
my babies I needed them degrease.I say, do what Daddy didn't do.
Daddy didn't get us degree. Man, if y'all want dad to be
always loving on y'all, get yourdegree, I said, because to be

(29:02):
honest with your son, besides youbeing my son. And I'm proud and
I'm glad that God allowed you tocome to us. Besides that right there,
you can't you can't, you can't. You can't do it, dad,
And it did. I mean thepercentages, you got a better chance
to winning the lotto once three simplebowl Okay, all pro Okay, So

(29:26):
it ain't much you can do that'sgonna knock Daddy out of the socks besides
you it being you, my kid. But one thing you can knock Daddy
out of the socks with, getthat degree and treat people with respect.
And both of them did. Itsawesome. Yeah, And that's what I
love on and that's what I preachon all the time. Yeah. I

(29:48):
know. One of the things thatI that I kind of coach on before
we get out of here is this, you know, to that point,
you know, we were blessed enoughto be gifted with talent, but also
be gifted with a drive and awork ethic that allowed for us to play
at that next level. And youknow, but you and I both want
super Bowls. You won many morethan I did, but we both were
we got two or three. I'mamong Yeah, so what getting to that

(30:18):
level? Our expectations. Our expectationsare naturally higher, Yes, naturally,
especially for our seeds, especially forour kids. Yes. And the hardest
part, I think, at leastfor me, is that we have so
much foresight because of our previous experiences. We can see down the road.

(30:44):
And by being able to see downthe road, you know what's required right
now? Yes, And you knowyou had these conversations. I'm not sure
what your what your kids aspirations wereat that time, but you have these
conversations like, hey, what doyou want to do? You know,
how serious are you about this?And if you want that trade new trade,
new trade new? YEA king thoughthe knew trade new Okay, huh.

(31:08):
So you have those conversations and like, because you have that foresight,
you're like, okay, now,let me help you with your psyche and
let me help you put you ina situation to be successful, whatever it
is, and you have these boxesthat need to be checked, man,
And it's like, it's hard toseparate the things that we did and we
knew was necessary to compete at thehighest level, and now try to instill

(31:32):
those things without being overly demanding inour kids. You know. It's it's
it's a it's a weird dichotomy,man, though it's not. It's it's
to me now, TV, socialmedia versus common sense. That's all it
is. That's all it is.We got these we got it. We

catches up to him, because itwill catch up to you. And able
one Lebron and he had to learnand ain't I'm saying able one Michaels Jordan

at different time. But now whois the new kid that's not gonna be
