Speaker 1 (00:00):
Think back to when you were in doesn't matter, elementary,
middle high school, doesn't matter. Think back to gym class
or pee whatever you want to call it. Were there
ever any bad injuries that took place at the hands
of the PE teacher.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Oh man, I don't know of it.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
I grew up in Oklahoma.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
So my my, my PE teacher is like a really
morble obese chainsmoker. So not the best example of pee teacher.
So he's too busy damaging himself. No, not that I recall,
probably kick and butting with a dodgeball bound with the
teacher threw it at him.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
The yeah no, no, Like, we definitely had kids that
got dinged up in PE class. That happened all the time.
But and I hate to be so specific, but at
the hands of a PE teacher, but as an accident, Well, yeah, no,
I don't think the PE teacher is intentionally trying to
hurt somebody.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Coach pull some hair yesterday?
Speaker 2 (01:01):
No, actually, but funny, my art teacher did, interestingly enough,
Wait what'd your art teacher do? So he again, this
was a different states. He didn't take kindly the kids
falling asleep during classes. He wasn't even really even teaching,
so he actually just throw tennis ball the kids he
(01:22):
had just kid the wrong angles right off broken halt.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
We definitely had kids get digged by erasers and stuff
like that. That's no big deal.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Oh yeah, we would have teachers throw erasers at us.
We would have teachers that would walk by and like
if your head was down on the desk.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
And during class, oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Like you would put your hand down, like they would
go by and it was like whether you were like
in a like seated in a chair that you pulled
up to the table, or if it was like old
school where it was a desk with the or chair
with the desk attached. They wouldn't just like tap you
on the shoulder. They would like if your head was here,
they would bang under the table right under where your
(02:05):
head is. Dude. Kids would shoot up like rockets thinking
that you know, they didn't know what was going on.
You're in the middle of sleep. Or if you try
to like fake it where you were just leaning on
an elbow.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
He's the thinker.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
They no, they'd come by and they'd pull your elbow
out from under you.
Speaker 6 (02:23):
No one got hurt, No, no, I mean smirt, Yeah, no,
not bad.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Nobody got it bad. But the no. But the reason
I ask about the the pe teacher is like accidents
have to happen. Yeah, if you're the pe teacher, that
are completely unintentional, without any kind of like trying to
do something. But I mean they could be very they
could be very benign. Like for example, if you're doing
(02:49):
a basketball drill or something, you could you could you
could pass a ball to a kid and he he
gets hit in the face. You could you know, you
could be like rebounding or something in elbow a kid.
All unintentional. I would bet running they trip over kids
all the time.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
I don't say why not.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Yeah that would happen. So I was reading about a
pe teacher in although have times changed, Like if there's
a pe teacher where they go, it is the worst
time to be a pe teacher.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
Because people are like litigious.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Yes, And that takes me to New Jersey. A Mount
Olive middle school student and his father have filed the
lawsuit against the district and the pe teacher, alleging negligence
and reckless conduct that resulted in serious injuries during a
gym class activity. The student was hurt during a floor
(03:46):
hockey game when the pe teacher, this is the quotes
in the lawsuit, forcefully struck a hockey puck at the
student's face.
Speaker 6 (03:56):
Wait, and I know this for you, it's an act.
It is going to be a dumb question. But floor hockey,
is it a real puck?
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Chances are they're using if I had to guess in
middle school, they are using they're not using balls, but
they're probably and they're not using foam, but they're probably
using Like when when kids first start playing like eight.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
You kids, no, no, no, but no, take it to no.
I am school.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I am, I am. So they when kids first start
playing ice hockey, right, they don't use the black pucks
that everybody sees, right, they use these they're called blue pucks,
and they're much lighter, and they're they're they just way less.
They're they're not as hard. There's still pucks. They're not foam,
(04:44):
but there's still pucks. And if you're an adult, you
could rip those things like crazy and they elevate like that.
But you're also if you're an adult and you're you're
doing that, you're used to a heavier puck. So what
I was going to say is my guess in middle
school floor hockey, you're not using a ball, you're not
(05:05):
using foam. My guess is you may be using like
those eight U blue pucks for the floor or they're
using like sometimes like they like like like kids will
have and again not that I understand it's not ice hockey,
but they'll have hard plastic pucks that have ball bearings
in the bottom of them.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
I remember that from my street hockey days.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Yeah, exactly, So they may be using street hockey pucks
in order to in order to do that. I would
guess it's one of those too. Don't do it with foam.
You can't. You can't pass or do anything with that.
So my guess is it's either a street hockey puck
with the ball bearings, which have a little bit there's
different weights of those, yeah, which have a little bit
of umph to them, or it's one of those like
(05:47):
eight U blue pucks that are much lighter than the
black pucks. But it's got to be one of those.
And I'm sure the coach wasn't doing anything. He just
fired a puck, then got a little airborne and took
a kid out.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
And then I feel like from when we played and
We may have used a ball in jim, but we
had like really short sticks.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
They weren't anywhere close to it.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
Like or more like like a field hockey stick or
just well no, it was.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
It was a longer stick.
Speaker 7 (06:19):
End.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
I don't know what do you call that?
Speaker 1 (06:21):
The blade?
Speaker 6 (06:21):
Yeah, well it's for the shaft the blade, okay, but
it was more promotional giveaway versus what you mean, yeah,
versus like anything that I used in my street hockey days.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Did they have curve? Did they at least have curve blades?
I hate when they get the kids straight blades. Come on, man,
get a curve on that thing. How badly hurt was
the kid? It depends on who you ask. If you
ask the father, he's got long term injuries, which like
a brain injury. No, he doesn't have a TBI.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
I mean, this incident is like two years old.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Well he's still suffering from it, but get over it. No.
But and they're saying like they didn't give him the
proper equipment, so not everybody's wearing and nobody's wearing a helmet.
We never wore a helmet. First of all, if we
got three days of hockey, it was a big deal
in Texas. We never got to do that, so they
should be happy that they're exposed to the greatest sport
(07:15):
in the world. But like, I remember playing street hockey
with Jackie's nephews when they were young. Yeah, and I
think one of them was like five or six. I
ripped a shot like crazy, and I thought, I honestly,
I thought I took the kid's eye out. But that thing,
that thing swelled shut like no one's business.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Did you apologize, Yeah, of course.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Well, I mean I had to chase him inside because
he went running inside. Mommy, Mommy. I was like, oh God,
damn it.
Speaker 6 (07:41):
The because what steps did this gym teacher to next
had to Ruin the lawsuit for the.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
School, I would bet step one was a was a
small laugh, but it says the district will defend itself
zealously in this matter and looks forward to presenting the facts.
The gym teacher and school officials, according to the suit,
failed to provide any safety, dear or protective equipment before
(08:07):
instructing students to participate in the activity. Nobody gets anything.
It's floor hockey. Nobody got any equipment in floor hockey.
You got a stick and you were told don't hit
people with the stick.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
You mentioned helmets, did you ever? I don't think I
ever got a helmet for anything.
Speaker 6 (08:25):
It's jim no nothing, Okay, you said it like some
schools may have helmets available.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
The only I know the only activity that we got
helmets for was if we were doing like a softball
segment and a batting helmet. Yeah, and everybody shared the
same sweaty, licensefected helmet where the foam on the inside
(08:50):
worn downweat stained. It was horrible. But I think we
got a ball for that, or I'm sorry, a helmet
for that.
Speaker 6 (08:57):
The closest we came to baseball or softball was football,
and we did not get a helmet for wiffleball.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
You shouldn't for wiffle ball. What do you be like
to helmet coach?
Speaker 4 (09:05):
He's also in the gym. The awesome back outside.
Speaker 6 (09:08):
Wiffleball was great. I loved wiffleball. If you remember from
my little league days, I wasn't the best batter.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Right, that's okay, Well it's wiffleball. It's completely different.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
Yeah, but you don't really get to show off your
defensive prowess. No or no one really cares.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
It's it's more about who's up and what are they
going to do.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Most of the time they're going to hit a ball
about six miles in the air and only about three
feet out. That's things going straight up because everybody golf
swings stuck in wiffleball?
Speaker 6 (09:36):
Yeah, oh, Tyler, please, why should that be different than baseball?
Speaker 1 (09:39):
But I mean, think about it. Even in wiffleball, though
you risk serious injury.
Speaker 6 (09:44):
Well, you can also say you can get injured in
any of the ceiling Yes could Oh did they?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Did they scrap that?
Speaker 5 (09:50):
I'm just saying that the pads were only like three inches.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
No, no, no, I'm saying did they get rid of
people doing that? I used to love rope climate climbing day.
Rope climbing day was awesome because you would climb into
the ceiling tiles in the uh in the ceiling and
so if you if you knew how to climb a rope,
which I did, if you knew how to climb a rope,
it was awesome. Now you would get leg burn and
(10:14):
hand burned on the way down. But climbing the rope
is great. But people used to fall off that all
the time. I'm a snap a leg.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
At best.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
But you got to think even if you were doing
like a soccer segment, if you're running it stupid kid
cuts in front of you, Yes, you run them right over,
or like you're trying to stop and you can't. You
got to push them out of the way.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
It's different when it's the teacher that's involved.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Yes, absolutely, Oh yeah, because the teacher hurt me. That's
why I wonder if there I wonder if there are
kids that go like who are going through the education
system like my my my younger one is looking at
that is possible becoming like a teacher and a pe teacher.
(11:02):
But it would be like I feel like you would be.
I feel like you really rolling the dice on. You
could jacket kid up completely on accident, exactly, completely on accident.
Way how many times, like you have kids, you're just
running around, jacketing around, playing with the kids. One of them,
they don't know where they're going, they don't pay attention.
They step in front of you. Next thing you know,
(11:23):
you plow right over.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
Yeah, but I didn't go to school.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Well that's for being.
Speaker 6 (11:30):
You know, they've taken a course or two on the safety. Yeah,
but you can't avoid being a physical education teacher. But
you can't avoid some putsy kid who falls down.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
In front of you.
Speaker 6 (11:39):
Yeah, listen, kids fall down if their backpacks are too heavy.
So yes, kids are prone to injury.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
By the way, if there's a puck coming at your face,
I got an idea move.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Okay, that shouldn't be our defense. No, but it's true.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
If that puck gets airborne, move put your hand up,
catch it. Where am I going mine?
Speaker 6 (11:56):
One?
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Hi Elliott the morning. Hey, I'm doing great, Tyler Diyan.
What's going on? Dude?
Speaker 7 (12:04):
Hey? So I went to school in Poolsville years ago
and we had a the pe teacher that was a
baseball coach, and he was screwing around with one of
his kids that was hitting slump and he's like, I'm
gonna throw this pitch to you. If you don't hit it,
you're off the team. Put a little bit too much
steam on it and cracked his nose wide open. That
kid was walking around with quite the honker and the
(12:26):
two black guys and didn't talk right for about a month.
I think two of his chiefs fell out like he
gave him some steam. It was messed up.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
But now question was was it during baseball practice or
is that pe Those are completely different to me.
Speaker 7 (12:39):
It was so Poolsville. We were a bit loose. It
was like, you know, whatever they felt like doing, and
people would break off in different different side. Here's a
group of kids that are on the team. You guys
just do you know, lob balls, And then he would
take his team over. We were all watching because he
started digging in on this kid and I guess he
was just going through a slump. But all I heard was,
(13:01):
I mean there was one everywhere that for like two years.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Oh I'm sure, all right, very good, thank you, But
there's another one that like, there's another one even if
they even if it's even if it's like a softball segment, yeah,
if you're the if you're the I can't imagine. I'm
trying to think back when we did when we did
softball and you had the helmet, the coach definitely pitched.
They're not going to let a kid throw at another kid,
I mean baseball. If you were on the baseball team, yes,
(13:30):
like in high school, but.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
A unit in peither or not doing about exactly.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
The coach is thrown. Because coach Fawcett used to pitch
and Remember, he only had one arm, so if you
threw the ball to the left side of his body,
he'd stump out and be like, I'm over here. That's
how you knew, That's how you learned to throw to
the right hand, the correct hand.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
I should say, do you get the sense?
Speaker 6 (13:50):
And from your details I did not. It sounded like
it was unintentional, but I'm looking here. NJ dot com
posted it on their Facebook page, and their comment their
article was, the lawsuit makes it sound as if the
pe teacher did it on purpose.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
No way, no pe teacher.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Are there any other details in the suit?
Speaker 7 (14:10):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (14:10):
I mean just that there's still treatment happening.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
And uh nature of the injury not fully detailed in
the filing. The lawsuit seeks damages for both physical and
emotional suffering Jesus.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
Christ severe and permanent injuries.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
The lawsuit states that the father has sustained financial and
emotional damages. Okay, the teacher, the school, the district, all negligence.
Rest No, I don't see I don't see it. Why
would the teacher intentionally slam a pucketto a kid's face.
Speaker 6 (14:42):
You started this by talking about teachers in classrooms intentionally.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Okay, that's different. That's different. Pulling a kid's elbow out
while he's sleeping is completely different than firing a pucket
a kid's face, and.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
A couple correct.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Mine for hi, elliot, the morning, Good morning.
Speaker 7 (15:04):
How are you?
Speaker 3 (15:04):
I am?
Speaker 5 (15:05):
Well?
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Thank you? Who is this? I'm Nina.
Speaker 8 (15:08):
Yes, I've been a pee teacher for fifteen years.
Speaker 9 (15:11):
I'm actually on my way to work right now. When
I was student teaching, though, I was student teaching at
a high school in Saulisbury and we were playing volleyball
and I was actually playing with the kids and the
girl in front of me hit the ball once and
then obviously she's not allowed to hit it again, so
I went to hit it and she rammed her face
into me and I we bombed heads and I ended
(15:34):
up splitting her eyebrow open.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
And she had to get this, she said she was
a student teacher.
Speaker 9 (15:40):
Yeah, yeah, that was when I was student teaching. Yes,
so I was in college. Yeah, I was a senior
in college and they were probably a senior in high school.
Speaker 8 (15:48):
But yeah, it was pretty bad.
Speaker 9 (15:49):
And her boyfriend got all mad at me.
Speaker 8 (15:51):
He was like, you run my girlfriend's face, But you
know it was it was her fault.
Speaker 9 (15:58):
But I did in you know, inflicks the wound.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
But did you and did you get in trouble for you?
Didn't get in trouble for that though.
Speaker 9 (16:05):
No, no, I didn't, And I don't know if I
probably would now as you know, an actual teacher, but
being a student teacher may be a little bit different.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Wait, why would you get in trouble now, like it's
a total accident.
Speaker 9 (16:17):
Yeah I know, I know, but you know, I'm supposed
to be a little more aware of my space. And
if a kid's about to do something teach elementary school now,
so you know, I don't think that would happen.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Oh but how many times? But elementary school is another one.
Those kids start running, they don't know, they don't know
what they're what their space is. You must trip over them.
Not I feel like I would trip an elementary school
kid twice a day.
Speaker 8 (16:40):
I try to stay off to the side and just
watch and make sure you know they're doing what they're
supposed to do. I don't always play with them just
because of reasons like that, because they don't have great,
you know, motor skills.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
But like even if you're playing with a ball, like
if you kick a soccer ball. I don't know. In
pea an elementary school, you could kick a soccer ball,
hits a rock on the ground, bounces up, pop that
kid in the face. Next thing you know, you got
a broken nose.
Speaker 9 (17:04):
I've had a kid get hit by a rock in
the face before.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
Yeah, so.
Speaker 7 (17:10):
It was bad.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
That was really bad.
Speaker 8 (17:12):
She ended up having to go to the hospital too.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
That was bad.
Speaker 9 (17:15):
But to answer your question that you were asking about earlier,
my school does still do rope climbing. I don't know
if a lot of schools do, but my school does
and the kids love it. They love and right about
the ceiling tiles. They climb all the way up and
they knocked the little ceiling tile the best.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
It is the best. You put your head up in
the ceiling tile. Everybody in the class is like, wow,
But how many of those little rats fall off the rope.
We used to have kids fall off the ropes all.
Speaker 8 (17:42):
The time, surprisingly knock on wood.
Speaker 9 (17:45):
We I've only had one kid, Like I said, I've
been doing this for fifteen years.
Speaker 8 (17:49):
I've only had one kid and.
Speaker 9 (17:50):
He fell off about halfway up. But we have mats
all over the floor, so he fell I know, pell
the kids that too. I tell the kids that too.
I'm like, you need to be extra careful at there.
The mats are there, but they're not going to.
Speaker 8 (18:07):
Do that much if you fall.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Also, I felt like the other thing with the rope
criming where you'd have to really be careful is if
you're trying to give the kid a boost because you can't.
You can't push push.
Speaker 6 (18:16):
No, kid, don't.
Speaker 8 (18:18):
I don't touch them. I don't touch them.
Speaker 7 (18:21):
Nope.
Speaker 9 (18:23):
You gotta get up on your own or you don't
get up at all.
Speaker 6 (18:26):
Yeah, I think I side with the packers on banning
that when it comes to kids.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
All right, very good, Thank you teach, Thank you, I
appreciate it. Thank you, ma'am.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
From Mary Catherine. I teach PE.
Speaker 6 (18:40):
Mom taught it for thirty plus years. When I throw
a ball to a student, I throw it just hard
enough that it gets to them to avoid a situation. Absolutely,
And there's a lot of people that's you want to
put any force on it, that said guarantee it was
done intentionally.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Listen. Do I believe that there are PE teachers they're human,
that there are PE teachers who are like, this kid
is the biggest dick in the class, and there there
may be an elbow or whoops where we were both
running for the ball, or oh look I kicked it. Yes,
(19:18):
but first of all, if that pee teacher intentionally shot
the puck and hit the kid in the face, that's
a good shot.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
Well maybe it's someone who played hockey day so.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
You think he grew up playing for the New Jersey
Devils and is now it's Ken Danico and now all
of a sudden is whacking pucks into a kid's face.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 6 (19:38):
The only measurement of a successful hockey career is making
it to the NHL.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
No. No, I mean, do you play college? Everybody fill
out their NCAA bracket.
Speaker 10 (19:50):
No, I did.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Where am I going for? I'm talking about for hockey obviously?
Line seven? Hi, Elliot the morning.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Hey, my name's Jacob from Fort Worth.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Yes, sir, what can I do for you?
Speaker 3 (20:05):
When I was in middle school, we had this game.
It was like a mix between dodgeball and baseball, and
they would use a volleyball and this kid hit the ball,
It bounced back to the coach. The coach went to
throw it at him and it hit his feet. Kid
fell down and snapped his arm in half. Shout out
(20:26):
mister Anderson.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
But nobody sued, right, like the parents didn't get pissed.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
No, he stood up and he said, I think something's
wrong and his arm was just like a Z.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
That's fantastic, all right, very good, Thank you sir. Hi
Ellie at the morning, Hey this me? Yeah?
Speaker 8 (20:50):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Who's this?
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Hey?
Speaker 10 (20:53):
This is Brian calling from Chesterfield.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Yes, sir, what can I do for you?
Speaker 3 (20:58):
So?
Speaker 10 (20:58):
I had a I grew up in Georgia, and I
had a school pe teacher that was my also football coach,
and he took great pride on dodgeball day, just humming
the ball at get kids and he would join every Friday,
and I saw, I personally saw about three broken noses
on dodgeball day. That was back when, like it was
(21:20):
late late nineties, early two thousands, when the dodgeballs were
played with like the big Reber kickball.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Yeah right, exactly exactly do they still do? Like I know,
I know a thank you, sir, Like I know a
lot of places won't do dodgeball anymore. But do they
still do?
Speaker 9 (21:35):
Do they do?
Speaker 6 (21:36):
Sharks and minnows? I've seen it for like teams, but
not like in Pe. I can't say that My kids
have described that game from school.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
And not even not even where like there's there's there's
two forms of like sharks and minos. So one is
where it's running and you just try to tag, and
the other one is like if you you have balls
and as they run by you try to throw and
peg them with balls. There's no way they do the
pegging with balls one anymore.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
Don't both of.
Speaker 6 (22:04):
Those games end up in a all tackle one well
scenario because you get down to one minnow, yes, so
you are asking for someone to get hurt if you're
chucking out targeting one.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Everybody has the ball. There's like five or six. In hockey,
when they would do that with the young kids, some
of the coaches used to try to so you would
try to hit their skates with pucks while they're skating,
so it would, you know, teach them speed up, slow down,
jump like it teaches them all kinds of stuff. But
there were some kids who just those kids, well, you
(22:39):
shoot the pucket their skates really hard and woo down
they go. Let me go to line six, hi Ellie
the morning.
Speaker 7 (22:52):
Hey man. In high school, one time we were playing
stickball in the ring game in the gym class, and
I was the pitcher. The coach, I mean, the teacher
was the batter.
Speaker 10 (23:04):
I threw the ball to him last day.
Speaker 7 (23:06):
I remember he just had his his leg up, shoulders
back to let go of the stick. Nailed me right
in my eyes. I woke up once I once I
finally figured out what was going on, laying in my
own blood, I started cussing and he told me I
needed to stop crust.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
But that's a total thank you, sir, that's a total accident. Right,
stick flies out of your hand. Accidentala, you've seen the
Major League Baseball all the time. Yes, Tom, you're wondering
about sharks and meadows. Uh, this is from Instagram. Pe
teacher here, Mike County doesn't even allow goalies in soccer
(23:45):
in gym, oh cocky in jim or lacrosse in gym.
We also have no ropes and we're definitely not playing dodgeball.
That teacher meant to put a little extra on that shot.
A minute, Where where is this school with no goalies?
I feel like I've heard that from my kids before,
(24:05):
now that it's been said, because I feel like what
pussy middle school is that I want to say and
it's not because you know, sometimes there won't be a
goalie if it's a really tiny goal because you're thinking
more about like accuracy, and it's more difficult because you're
not taking a shot from midfield. But I wonder if
I think that was what my kids had in elementary school,
(24:27):
and it was just so balls weren't so they don't
get hit with the rocketed at the one. Yeah, but
there are kids. There are kids who love that, like
that's the part of it. They love. Listen, my younger
one's a goalie. It is like starting out, the first
thing you go is like, wow, they're all kind of
off anyway, which makes total sense. But the but you
(24:48):
sit there and get pucks ripped at you, and when
it's young, it's no big deal. But as he got
older and is now playing in college, pucks are flying
at you seventy eighty ninety miles an hour, popping you
in the face, in the body and stuff. But there
are kids who thrive in that. Lacrosse goalies I don't
get at all. At least hockey goalies are padded up
(25:09):
like crazy. Lacrosse goalies you may as well just stand
there naked, like that's ridiculous, But don't put those kids
that thrive on it that they should be in the net.
Speaker 6 (25:21):
Well, here's another position might have to ban. I was
a long term from Facebook from Caitlin. I was a
long term substitute before getting my full time pe gig,
and I popped a kid's shoulder out of place. We
were playing softball and there was a home plate for
runners and then a separate one for the catcher to
avoid collisions. I played catcher and this kid runs full
(25:45):
speed at me, and I was waiting to make the catch,
totally clotheslined him. I was afraid I'd get in trouble,
but one of the veteran teachers was like, he ran
to the wrong plate, serves him right.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Have you heard of that? Two plates?
Speaker 4 (26:02):
Oh, Kristen knows that.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
You've done that. Wait, hold on, turn yourself on. I've
never heard of that. And I played catcher playing baseball.
We would block the plate and take guys out. But
I've never heard of two plates.
Speaker 11 (26:17):
In slow pitch adult slow pitch co ed softball that
I play, right, there's a plate in the front and
then you run. When you're on third and you're running home,
you go to the plate. In the back, so there
is no collision because if you collide, thisns automatic out.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Where does the catcher go the front plate and the
runner goes to the back? How do you tag?
Speaker 4 (26:40):
You just turn and tag. It's not that far away. Careful, Christen,
he's going to hit you with the fuck no.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
But it doesn't make any sense. In order to tag,
I still have to move to the second plate.
Speaker 11 (26:51):
So let's say I'm at the front plate right with
my glove right. This chair over here is the back plate.
So you're not too far so you can still turn
and tag if you need to.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Yeah, but if I'm sliding in ice slam, now, you
can't slide. You can't slid. Oh my god, what pussy league?
Speaker 4 (27:08):
Are you in slow pitch?
Speaker 1 (27:12):
So wait, you can't slide at all.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
And in gym class, uh, we slid, but we weren't
allowed to if you slid. It was a nonomatc out,
was it?
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Really? The only thing we were told is if you
slide in gym class, if you played indoors, you're gonna
get You're gonna get woodburn. And you would see you
would hear it too, you'd hear it. Just naked cheek, right,
on the floor. They'd get up like their ass was
on fire. But the I'd never heard of the two plates.
That's ridiculous to me.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
I never did either until I moved here to play.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
To do that slow pitch there.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
Yeah, in Chicago when I did it, we just we
collided all the time.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Yeah, exactly. I can't believe you can't slide.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
It's a DC thing.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
I guess that is the most ridiculous thing. You gotta
try to avoid the tag. So do people just come
in elbows up to try to just bowl.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
You over in Chicago, Yeah, but here, no, then you're out.
If it looks like you're oh.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
My god, all right, very good, very good, thank you,
thank you.
Speaker 6 (28:17):
VALERIEA on Facebook says, let me guess they're also letting
kids break through the line for Red Rover.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Oh, that game was awesome. That game was great. Oops,
pop my elbow out.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
Here comes the big kid.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Oh remember that?
Speaker 7 (28:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Oh. When they would start with Red Rover, Red Rover,
send Chris Gibson right over, Chris would hold onto his
shorts and I'm sorry, not Chris my Eric Jeff Gibson
spelled gee off. He would start running belly tits everything
flapping all over the blake. You weren't holding that back.
(28:57):
You're second grade. You got four hundred pounds of flesh
coming at you. He would take down the whole line.
Think back to when you were in doesn't matter, elementary,
middle high school, doesn't matter. Think back to gym class
or pee whatever you want to call it. Were there
ever any bad injuries that took place at the hands
of the PE teacher.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Oh man, I don't know of it.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
I grew up in Oklahoma.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
So my my, my PE teacher is like a really
morble obese chainsmoker. So not the best example of pee teacher.
So he's too busy damaging himself. No, not that I recall,
probably kick and butting with a dodgeball bound with the
teacher threw it at him.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
The yeah no, no, Like, we definitely had kids that
got dinged up in PE class. That happened all the time.
But and I hate to be so specific, but at
the hands of a PE teacher, but as an accident, Well, yeah, no,
I don't think the PE teacher is intentionally trying to
hurt somebody.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Coach pull some hair yesterday?
Speaker 2 (01:01):
No, actually, but funny, my art teacher did, interestingly enough,
Wait what'd your art teacher do? So he again, this
was a different states. He didn't take kindly the kids
falling asleep during classes. He wasn't even really even teaching,
so he actually just throw tennis ball the kids he
(01:22):
had just kid the wrong angles right off broken halt.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
We definitely had kids get digged by erasers and stuff
like that. That's no big deal.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Oh yeah, we would have teachers throw erasers at us.
We would have teachers that would walk by and like
if your head was down on the desk.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
And during class, oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Like you would put your hand down, like they would
go by and it was like whether you were like
in a like seated in a chair that you pulled
up to the table, or if it was like old
school where it was a desk with the or chair
with the desk attached. They wouldn't just like tap you
on the shoulder. They would like if your head was here,
they would bang under the table right under where your
(02:05):
head is. Dude. Kids would shoot up like rockets thinking
that you know, they didn't know what was going on.
You're in the middle of sleep. Or if you try
to like fake it where you were just leaning on
an elbow.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
He's the thinker.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
They no, they'd come by and they'd pull your elbow
out from under you.
Speaker 6 (02:23):
No one got hurt, No, no, I mean smirt, Yeah, no,
not bad.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Nobody got it bad. But the no. But the reason
I ask about the the pe teacher is like accidents
have to happen. Yeah, if you're the pe teacher, that
are completely unintentional, without any kind of like trying to
do something. But I mean they could be very they
could be very benign. Like for example, if you're doing
(02:49):
a basketball drill or something, you could you could you
could pass a ball to a kid and he he
gets hit in the face. You could you know, you
could be like rebounding or something in elbow a kid.
All unintentional. I would bet running they trip over kids
all the time.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
I don't say why not.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Yeah that would happen. So I was reading about a
pe teacher in although have times changed, Like if there's
a pe teacher where they go, it is the worst
time to be a pe teacher.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
Because people are like litigious.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Yes, And that takes me to New Jersey. A Mount
Olive middle school student and his father have filed the
lawsuit against the district and the pe teacher, alleging negligence
and reckless conduct that resulted in serious injuries during a
gym class activity. The student was hurt during a floor
(03:46):
hockey game when the pe teacher, this is the quotes
in the lawsuit, forcefully struck a hockey puck at the
student's face.
Speaker 6 (03:56):
Wait, and I know this for you, it's an act.
It is going to be a dumb question. But floor hockey,
is it a real puck?
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Chances are they're using if I had to guess in
middle school, they are using they're not using balls, but
they're probably and they're not using foam, but they're probably
using Like when when kids first start playing like eight.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
You kids, no, no, no, but no, take it to no.
I am school.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I am, I am. So they when kids first start
playing ice hockey, right, they don't use the black pucks
that everybody sees, right, they use these they're called blue pucks,
and they're much lighter, and they're they're they just way less.
They're they're not as hard. There's still pucks. They're not foam,
(04:44):
but there's still pucks. And if you're an adult, you
could rip those things like crazy and they elevate like that.
But you're also if you're an adult and you're you're
doing that, you're used to a heavier puck. So what
I was going to say is my guess in middle
school floor hockey, you're not using a ball, you're not
(05:05):
using foam. My guess is you may be using like
those eight U blue pucks for the floor or they're
using like sometimes like they like like like kids will
have and again not that I understand it's not ice hockey,
but they'll have hard plastic pucks that have ball bearings
in the bottom of them.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
I remember that from my street hockey days.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Yeah, exactly, So they may be using street hockey pucks
in order to in order to do that. I would
guess it's one of those too. Don't do it with foam.
You can't. You can't pass or do anything with that.
So my guess is it's either a street hockey puck
with the ball bearings, which have a little bit there's
different weights of those, yeah, which have a little bit
of umph to them, or it's one of those like
(05:47):
eight U blue pucks that are much lighter than the
black pucks. But it's got to be one of those.
And I'm sure the coach wasn't doing anything. He just
fired a puck, then got a little airborne and took
a kid out.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
And then I feel like from when we played and
We may have used a ball in jim, but we
had like really short sticks.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
They weren't anywhere close to it.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
Like or more like like a field hockey stick or
just well no, it was.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
It was a longer stick.
Speaker 7 (06:19):
End.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
I don't know what do you call that?
Speaker 1 (06:21):
The blade?
Speaker 6 (06:21):
Yeah, well it's for the shaft the blade, okay, but
it was more promotional giveaway versus what you mean, yeah,
versus like anything that I used in my street hockey days.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Did they have curve? Did they at least have curve blades?
I hate when they get the kids straight blades. Come on, man,
get a curve on that thing. How badly hurt was
the kid? It depends on who you ask. If you
ask the father, he's got long term injuries, which like
a brain injury. No, he doesn't have a TBI.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
I mean, this incident is like two years old.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Well he's still suffering from it, but get over it. No.
But and they're saying like they didn't give him the
proper equipment, so not everybody's wearing and nobody's wearing a helmet.
We never wore a helmet. First of all, if we
got three days of hockey, it was a big deal
in Texas. We never got to do that, so they
should be happy that they're exposed to the greatest sport
(07:15):
in the world. But like, I remember playing street hockey
with Jackie's nephews when they were young. Yeah, and I
think one of them was like five or six. I
ripped a shot like crazy, and I thought, I honestly,
I thought I took the kid's eye out. But that thing,
that thing swelled shut like no one's business.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Did you apologize, Yeah, of course.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Well, I mean I had to chase him inside because
he went running inside. Mommy, Mommy. I was like, oh God,
damn it.
Speaker 6 (07:41):
The because what steps did this gym teacher to next
had to Ruin the lawsuit for the.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
School, I would bet step one was a was a
small laugh, but it says the district will defend itself
zealously in this matter and looks forward to presenting the facts.
The gym teacher and school officials, according to the suit,
failed to provide any safety, dear or protective equipment before
(08:07):
instructing students to participate in the activity. Nobody gets anything.
It's floor hockey. Nobody got any equipment in floor hockey.
You got a stick and you were told don't hit
people with the stick.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
You mentioned helmets, did you ever? I don't think I
ever got a helmet for anything.
Speaker 6 (08:25):
It's jim no nothing, Okay, you said it like some
schools may have helmets available.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
The only I know the only activity that we got
helmets for was if we were doing like a softball
segment and a batting helmet. Yeah, and everybody shared the
same sweaty, licensefected helmet where the foam on the inside
(08:50):
worn downweat stained. It was horrible. But I think we
got a ball for that, or I'm sorry, a helmet
for that.
Speaker 6 (08:57):
The closest we came to baseball or softball was football,
and we did not get a helmet for wiffleball.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
You shouldn't for wiffle ball. What do you be like
to helmet coach?
Speaker 4 (09:05):
He's also in the gym. The awesome back outside.
Speaker 6 (09:08):
Wiffleball was great. I loved wiffleball. If you remember from
my little league days, I wasn't the best batter.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Right, that's okay, Well it's wiffleball. It's completely different.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
Yeah, but you don't really get to show off your
defensive prowess. No or no one really cares.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
It's it's more about who's up and what are they
going to do.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Most of the time they're going to hit a ball
about six miles in the air and only about three
feet out. That's things going straight up because everybody golf
swings stuck in wiffleball?
Speaker 6 (09:36):
Yeah, oh, Tyler, please, why should that be different than baseball?
Speaker 1 (09:39):
But I mean, think about it. Even in wiffleball, though
you risk serious injury.
Speaker 6 (09:44):
Well, you can also say you can get injured in
any of the ceiling Yes could Oh did they?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Did they scrap that?
Speaker 5 (09:50):
I'm just saying that the pads were only like three inches.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
No, no, no, I'm saying did they get rid of
people doing that? I used to love rope climate climbing day.
Rope climbing day was awesome because you would climb into
the ceiling tiles in the uh in the ceiling and
so if you if you knew how to climb a rope,
which I did, if you knew how to climb a rope,
it was awesome. Now you would get leg burn and
(10:14):
hand burned on the way down. But climbing the rope
is great. But people used to fall off that all
the time. I'm a snap a leg.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
At best.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
But you got to think even if you were doing
like a soccer segment, if you're running it stupid kid
cuts in front of you, Yes, you run them right over,
or like you're trying to stop and you can't. You
got to push them out of the way.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
It's different when it's the teacher that's involved.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Yes, absolutely, Oh yeah, because the teacher hurt me. That's
why I wonder if there I wonder if there are
kids that go like who are going through the education
system like my my my younger one is looking at
that is possible becoming like a teacher and a pe teacher.
(11:02):
But it would be like I feel like you would be.
I feel like you really rolling the dice on. You
could jacket kid up completely on accident, exactly, completely on accident.
Way how many times, like you have kids, you're just
running around, jacketing around, playing with the kids. One of them,
they don't know where they're going, they don't pay attention.
They step in front of you. Next thing you know,
(11:23):
you plow right over.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
Yeah, but I didn't go to school.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Well that's for being.
Speaker 6 (11:30):
You know, they've taken a course or two on the safety. Yeah,
but you can't avoid being a physical education teacher. But
you can't avoid some putsy kid who falls down.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
In front of you.
Speaker 6 (11:39):
Yeah, listen, kids fall down if their backpacks are too heavy.
So yes, kids are prone to injury.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
By the way, if there's a puck coming at your face,
I got an idea move.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Okay, that shouldn't be our defense. No, but it's true.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
If that puck gets airborne, move put your hand up,
catch it. Where am I going mine?
Speaker 6 (11:56):
One?
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Hi Elliott the morning. Hey, I'm doing great, Tyler Diyan.
What's going on? Dude?
Speaker 7 (12:04):
Hey? So I went to school in Poolsville years ago
and we had a the pe teacher that was a
baseball coach, and he was screwing around with one of
his kids that was hitting slump and he's like, I'm
gonna throw this pitch to you. If you don't hit it,
you're off the team. Put a little bit too much
steam on it and cracked his nose wide open. That
kid was walking around with quite the honker and the
(12:26):
two black guys and didn't talk right for about a month.
I think two of his chiefs fell out like he
gave him some steam. It was messed up.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
But now question was was it during baseball practice or
is that pe Those are completely different to me.
Speaker 7 (12:39):
It was so Poolsville. We were a bit loose. It
was like, you know, whatever they felt like doing, and
people would break off in different different side. Here's a
group of kids that are on the team. You guys
just do you know, lob balls, And then he would
take his team over. We were all watching because he
started digging in on this kid and I guess he
was just going through a slump. But all I heard was,
(13:01):
I mean there was one everywhere that for like two years.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Oh I'm sure, all right, very good, thank you, But
there's another one that like, there's another one even if
they even if it's even if it's like a softball segment, yeah,
if you're the if you're the I can't imagine. I'm
trying to think back when we did when we did
softball and you had the helmet, the coach definitely pitched.
They're not going to let a kid throw at another kid,
I mean baseball. If you were on the baseball team, yes,
(13:30):
like in high school, but.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
A unit in peither or not doing about exactly.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
The coach is thrown. Because coach Fawcett used to pitch
and Remember, he only had one arm, so if you
threw the ball to the left side of his body,
he'd stump out and be like, I'm over here. That's
how you knew, That's how you learned to throw to
the right hand, the correct hand.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
I should say, do you get the sense?
Speaker 6 (13:50):
And from your details I did not. It sounded like
it was unintentional, but I'm looking here. NJ dot com
posted it on their Facebook page, and their comment their
article was, the lawsuit makes it sound as if the
pe teacher did it on purpose.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
No way, no pe teacher.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Are there any other details in the suit?
Speaker 7 (14:10):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (14:10):
I mean just that there's still treatment happening.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
And uh nature of the injury not fully detailed in
the filing. The lawsuit seeks damages for both physical and
emotional suffering Jesus.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
Christ severe and permanent injuries.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
The lawsuit states that the father has sustained financial and
emotional damages. Okay, the teacher, the school, the district, all negligence.
Rest No, I don't see I don't see it. Why
would the teacher intentionally slam a pucketto a kid's face.
Speaker 6 (14:42):
You started this by talking about teachers in classrooms intentionally.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Okay, that's different. That's different. Pulling a kid's elbow out
while he's sleeping is completely different than firing a pucket
a kid's face, and.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
A couple correct.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Mine for hi, elliot, the morning, Good morning.
Speaker 7 (15:04):
How are you?
Speaker 3 (15:04):
I am?
Speaker 5 (15:05):
Well?
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Thank you? Who is this? I'm Nina.
Speaker 8 (15:08):
Yes, I've been a pee teacher for fifteen years.
Speaker 9 (15:11):
I'm actually on my way to work right now. When
I was student teaching, though, I was student teaching at
a high school in Saulisbury and we were playing volleyball
and I was actually playing with the kids and the
girl in front of me hit the ball once and
then obviously she's not allowed to hit it again, so
I went to hit it and she rammed her face
into me and I we bombed heads and I ended
(15:34):
up splitting her eyebrow open.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
And she had to get this, she said she was
a student teacher.
Speaker 9 (15:40):
Yeah, yeah, that was when I was student teaching. Yes,
so I was in college. Yeah, I was a senior
in college and they were probably a senior in high school.
Speaker 8 (15:48):
But yeah, it was pretty bad.
Speaker 9 (15:49):
And her boyfriend got all mad at me.
Speaker 8 (15:51):
He was like, you run my girlfriend's face, But you
know it was it was her fault.
Speaker 9 (15:58):
But I did in you know, inflicks the wound.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
But did you and did you get in trouble for you?
Didn't get in trouble for that though.
Speaker 9 (16:05):
No, no, I didn't, And I don't know if I
probably would now as you know, an actual teacher, but
being a student teacher may be a little bit different.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Wait, why would you get in trouble now, like it's
a total accident.
Speaker 9 (16:17):
Yeah I know, I know, but you know, I'm supposed
to be a little more aware of my space. And
if a kid's about to do something teach elementary school now,
so you know, I don't think that would happen.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Oh but how many times? But elementary school is another one.
Those kids start running, they don't know, they don't know
what they're what their space is. You must trip over them.
Not I feel like I would trip an elementary school
kid twice a day.
Speaker 8 (16:40):
I try to stay off to the side and just
watch and make sure you know they're doing what they're
supposed to do. I don't always play with them just
because of reasons like that, because they don't have great,
you know, motor skills.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
But like even if you're playing with a ball, like
if you kick a soccer ball. I don't know. In
pea an elementary school, you could kick a soccer ball,
hits a rock on the ground, bounces up, pop that
kid in the face. Next thing you know, you got
a broken nose.
Speaker 9 (17:04):
I've had a kid get hit by a rock in
the face before.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
Yeah, so.
Speaker 7 (17:10):
It was bad.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
That was really bad.
Speaker 8 (17:12):
She ended up having to go to the hospital too.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
That was bad.
Speaker 9 (17:15):
But to answer your question that you were asking about earlier,
my school does still do rope climbing. I don't know
if a lot of schools do, but my school does
and the kids love it. They love and right about
the ceiling tiles. They climb all the way up and
they knocked the little ceiling tile the best.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
It is the best. You put your head up in
the ceiling tile. Everybody in the class is like, wow,
But how many of those little rats fall off the rope.
We used to have kids fall off the ropes all.
Speaker 8 (17:42):
The time, surprisingly knock on wood.
Speaker 9 (17:45):
We I've only had one kid, Like I said, I've
been doing this for fifteen years.
Speaker 8 (17:49):
I've only had one kid and.
Speaker 9 (17:50):
He fell off about halfway up. But we have mats
all over the floor, so he fell I know, pell
the kids that too. I tell the kids that too.
I'm like, you need to be extra careful at there.
The mats are there, but they're not going to.
Speaker 8 (18:07):
Do that much if you fall.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Also, I felt like the other thing with the rope
criming where you'd have to really be careful is if
you're trying to give the kid a boost because you can't.
You can't push push.
Speaker 6 (18:16):
No, kid, don't.
Speaker 8 (18:18):
I don't touch them. I don't touch them.
Speaker 7 (18:21):
Nope.
Speaker 9 (18:23):
You gotta get up on your own or you don't
get up at all.
Speaker 6 (18:26):
Yeah, I think I side with the packers on banning
that when it comes to kids.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
All right, very good, Thank you teach, Thank you, I
appreciate it. Thank you, ma'am.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
From Mary Catherine. I teach PE.
Speaker 6 (18:40):
Mom taught it for thirty plus years. When I throw
a ball to a student, I throw it just hard
enough that it gets to them to avoid a situation. Absolutely,
And there's a lot of people that's you want to
put any force on it, that said guarantee it was
done intentionally.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Listen. Do I believe that there are PE teachers they're human,
that there are PE teachers who are like, this kid
is the biggest dick in the class, and there there
may be an elbow or whoops where we were both
running for the ball, or oh look I kicked it. Yes,
(19:18):
but first of all, if that pee teacher intentionally shot
the puck and hit the kid in the face, that's
a good shot.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
Well maybe it's someone who played hockey day so.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
You think he grew up playing for the New Jersey
Devils and is now it's Ken Danico and now all
of a sudden is whacking pucks into a kid's face.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 6 (19:38):
The only measurement of a successful hockey career is making
it to the NHL.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
No. No, I mean, do you play college? Everybody fill
out their NCAA bracket.
Speaker 10 (19:50):
No, I did.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Where am I going for? I'm talking about for hockey obviously?
Line seven? Hi, Elliot the morning.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Hey, my name's Jacob from Fort Worth.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Yes, sir, what can I do for you?
Speaker 3 (20:05):
When I was in middle school, we had this game.
It was like a mix between dodgeball and baseball, and
they would use a volleyball and this kid hit the ball,
It bounced back to the coach. The coach went to
throw it at him and it hit his feet. Kid
fell down and snapped his arm in half. Shout out
(20:26):
mister Anderson.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
But nobody sued, right, like the parents didn't get pissed.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
No, he stood up and he said, I think something's
wrong and his arm was just like a Z.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
That's fantastic, all right, very good, Thank you sir. Hi
Ellie at the morning, Hey this me? Yeah?
Speaker 8 (20:50):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Who's this?
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Hey?
Speaker 10 (20:53):
This is Brian calling from Chesterfield.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Yes, sir, what can I do for you?
Speaker 3 (20:58):
So?
Speaker 10 (20:58):
I had a I grew up in Georgia, and I
had a school pe teacher that was my also football coach,
and he took great pride on dodgeball day, just humming
the ball at get kids and he would join every Friday,
and I saw, I personally saw about three broken noses
on dodgeball day. That was back when, like it was
(21:20):
late late nineties, early two thousands, when the dodgeballs were
played with like the big Reber kickball.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Yeah right, exactly exactly do they still do? Like I know,
I know a thank you, sir, Like I know a
lot of places won't do dodgeball anymore. But do they
still do?
Speaker 9 (21:35):
Do they do?
Speaker 6 (21:36):
Sharks and minnows? I've seen it for like teams, but
not like in Pe. I can't say that My kids
have described that game from school.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
And not even not even where like there's there's there's
two forms of like sharks and minos. So one is
where it's running and you just try to tag, and
the other one is like if you you have balls
and as they run by you try to throw and
peg them with balls. There's no way they do the
pegging with balls one anymore.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
Don't both of.
Speaker 6 (22:04):
Those games end up in a all tackle one well
scenario because you get down to one minnow, yes, so
you are asking for someone to get hurt if you're
chucking out targeting one.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Everybody has the ball. There's like five or six. In hockey,
when they would do that with the young kids, some
of the coaches used to try to so you would
try to hit their skates with pucks while they're skating,
so it would, you know, teach them speed up, slow down,
jump like it teaches them all kinds of stuff. But
there were some kids who just those kids, well, you
(22:39):
shoot the pucket their skates really hard and woo down
they go. Let me go to line six, hi Ellie
the morning.
Speaker 7 (22:52):
Hey man. In high school, one time we were playing
stickball in the ring game in the gym class, and
I was the pitcher. The coach, I mean, the teacher
was the batter.
Speaker 10 (23:04):
I threw the ball to him last day.
Speaker 7 (23:06):
I remember he just had his his leg up, shoulders
back to let go of the stick. Nailed me right
in my eyes. I woke up once I once I
finally figured out what was going on, laying in my
own blood, I started cussing and he told me I
needed to stop crust.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
But that's a total thank you, sir, that's a total accident. Right,
stick flies out of your hand. Accidentala, you've seen the
Major League Baseball all the time. Yes, Tom, you're wondering
about sharks and meadows. Uh, this is from Instagram. Pe
teacher here, Mike County doesn't even allow goalies in soccer
(23:45):
in gym, oh cocky in jim or lacrosse in gym.
We also have no ropes and we're definitely not playing dodgeball.
That teacher meant to put a little extra on that shot.
A minute, Where where is this school with no goalies?
I feel like I've heard that from my kids before,
(24:05):
now that it's been said, because I feel like what
pussy middle school is that I want to say and
it's not because you know, sometimes there won't be a
goalie if it's a really tiny goal because you're thinking
more about like accuracy, and it's more difficult because you're
not taking a shot from midfield. But I wonder if
I think that was what my kids had in elementary school,
(24:27):
and it was just so balls weren't so they don't
get hit with the rocketed at the one. Yeah, but
there are kids. There are kids who love that, like
that's the part of it. They love. Listen, my younger
one's a goalie. It is like starting out, the first
thing you go is like, wow, they're all kind of
off anyway, which makes total sense. But the but you
(24:48):
sit there and get pucks ripped at you, and when
it's young, it's no big deal. But as he got
older and is now playing in college, pucks are flying
at you seventy eighty ninety miles an hour, popping you
in the face, in the body and stuff. But there
are kids who thrive in that. Lacrosse goalies I don't
get at all. At least hockey goalies are padded up
(25:09):
like crazy. Lacrosse goalies you may as well just stand
there naked, like that's ridiculous, But don't put those kids
that thrive on it that they should be in the net.
Speaker 6 (25:21):
Well, here's another position might have to ban. I was
a long term from Facebook from Caitlin. I was a
long term substitute before getting my full time pe gig,
and I popped a kid's shoulder out of place. We
were playing softball and there was a home plate for
runners and then a separate one for the catcher to
avoid collisions. I played catcher and this kid runs full
(25:45):
speed at me, and I was waiting to make the catch,
totally clotheslined him. I was afraid I'd get in trouble,
but one of the veteran teachers was like, he ran
to the wrong plate, serves him right.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Have you heard of that? Two plates?
Speaker 4 (26:02):
Oh, Kristen knows that.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
You've done that. Wait, hold on, turn yourself on. I've
never heard of that. And I played catcher playing baseball.
We would block the plate and take guys out. But
I've never heard of two plates.
Speaker 11 (26:17):
In slow pitch adult slow pitch co ed softball that
I play, right, there's a plate in the front and
then you run. When you're on third and you're running home,
you go to the plate. In the back, so there
is no collision because if you collide, thisns automatic out.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Where does the catcher go the front plate and the
runner goes to the back? How do you tag?
Speaker 4 (26:40):
You just turn and tag. It's not that far away. Careful, Christen,
he's going to hit you with the fuck no.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
But it doesn't make any sense. In order to tag,
I still have to move to the second plate.
Speaker 11 (26:51):
So let's say I'm at the front plate right with
my glove right. This chair over here is the back plate.
So you're not too far so you can still turn
and tag if you need to.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Yeah, but if I'm sliding in ice slam, now, you
can't slide. You can't slid. Oh my god, what pussy league?
Speaker 4 (27:08):
Are you in slow pitch?
Speaker 1 (27:12):
So wait, you can't slide at all.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
And in gym class, uh, we slid, but we weren't
allowed to if you slid. It was a nonomatc out,
was it?
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Really? The only thing we were told is if you
slide in gym class, if you played indoors, you're gonna
get You're gonna get woodburn. And you would see you
would hear it too, you'd hear it. Just naked cheek, right,
on the floor. They'd get up like their ass was
on fire. But the I'd never heard of the two plates.
That's ridiculous to me.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
I never did either until I moved here to play.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
To do that slow pitch there.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
Yeah, in Chicago when I did it, we just we
collided all the time.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Yeah, exactly. I can't believe you can't slide.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
It's a DC thing.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
I guess that is the most ridiculous thing. You gotta
try to avoid the tag. So do people just come
in elbows up to try to just bowl.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
You over in Chicago, Yeah, but here, no, then you're out.
If it looks like you're oh.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
My god, all right, very good, very good, thank you,
thank you.
Speaker 6 (28:17):
VALERIEA on Facebook says, let me guess they're also letting
kids break through the line for Red Rover.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Oh, that game was awesome. That game was great. Oops,
pop my elbow out.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
Here comes the big kid.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Oh remember that?
Speaker 7 (28:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Oh. When they would start with Red Rover, Red Rover,
send Chris Gibson right over, Chris would hold onto his
shorts and I'm sorry, not Chris my Eric Jeff Gibson
spelled gee off. He would start running belly tits everything
flapping all over the blake. You weren't holding that back.
(28:57):
You're second grade. You got four hundred pounds of flesh
coming at you. He would take down the whole line.
