Episode 162 ...And Football For All with Corey King

What Ya Into?

Hey Listener, grab your penalty flags because this week Corey King is on the show to talk about reffing high school football. It’s a fun look behind the curtain for any football fan. Topics this week include: Bottle artwork. A modern beer baron/smuggler. The joys and pains of living in Chicago. Finding your way into the music industry in the late 90s and trying to figure out how to counter Napster. The balance between a job and something you love. The impact of venues taking merch money from bands. Of course they’re putting the Grateful Dead in the Sphere. If you do something positive like giving an underage kid your ID, it will comeback to you. Tightend talk. The game needs linebackers. Rugby dudes are on a whole different level. The insanity of the hours you work as a coach. I can’t cause a problem if I don’t throw my flag. Who gets to make the call? Making the right call no matter what the crowd is chanting. How do you regulate the emotion of a game? What is the atmosphere in the refs’ locker room? How do you get assigned games? All business on game day. Put on your knee pads! Working with the medical staff. Trying not to laugh at trash talk. Hey ref, let’s keep it clean. The Corey King rule. A violent game. Giving to others.
