[00:00:05] [SPEAKER_03]: It's FoosTalk Live.

[00:00:07] [SPEAKER_03]: You talking to me?

[00:00:08] [SPEAKER_03]: Compelling and lively banter.

[00:00:10] [SPEAKER_03]: Are you gonna talk to us?

[00:00:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Talking Foosball.

[00:00:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Foosball was how I measured my value as a man.

[00:00:15] [SPEAKER_01]: You took that away!

[00:00:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Players and fans, promoters and pros, unedited and raw.

[00:00:21] [SPEAKER_03]: Talk, talk, talk.

[00:00:21] [SPEAKER_03]: Living in the moment.

[00:00:23] [SPEAKER_03]: We have a lot of important things to talk about.

[00:00:24] [SPEAKER_03]: All while practicing social distancing.

[00:02:31] [SPEAKER_03]: And now I present to you the second half of the full interview of Michael Stahl Jr. from Michigan State.

[00:02:40] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, it's true. It's true.

[00:02:43] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm just excited to see where Foosball goes this next couple years.

[00:02:47] [SPEAKER_05]: And as far as the nonprofit Foosball Clubs USA, I just want to see kids go through this program and kind of be impacted by it.

[00:02:58] [SPEAKER_05]: Kind of like how I was.

[00:03:00] [SPEAKER_05]: I had a table in my high school.

[00:03:02] [SPEAKER_05]: In 11th grade I had a Foosball Club before Foosball Clubs existed.

[00:03:07] [SPEAKER_05]: And all my friends saw me play and I was the cool kid.

[00:03:11] [SPEAKER_05]: Man, I went to France when I was 16 when I came back.

[00:03:13] [SPEAKER_05]: There was a big banner.

[00:03:15] [SPEAKER_05]: You know, I went from zero to hero because of Foosball.

[00:03:18] [SPEAKER_05]: You know, I was the most truant kid in high school or I'm sorry, eighth grade.

[00:03:22] [SPEAKER_05]: The principal when I went from upper middle school to high school, they emailed the other principal and was like, dude, watch out for this guy.

[00:03:30] [SPEAKER_05]: He's terrible.

[00:03:31] [SPEAKER_05]: He's the most truant kid.

[00:03:32] [SPEAKER_05]: He suspended over 60 days this year.

[00:03:36] [SPEAKER_05]: We just basically graduated into high school because we didn't want to deal with him.

[00:03:41] [SPEAKER_05]: It's all true, man.

[00:03:42] [SPEAKER_05]: I was in a special program called School Within School where the teachers would come to us.

[00:03:47] [SPEAKER_05]: And it was just one big gang of bandits like in a class just kind of causing ruckus.

[00:03:54] [SPEAKER_05]: But it completely changed everything for me, man.

[00:03:57] [SPEAKER_05]: And I just want to see that happen for other kids.

[00:03:59] [SPEAKER_05]: I know it can, you know?

[00:04:01] [SPEAKER_05]: And I'm seeing it already.

[00:04:03] [SPEAKER_05]: So it's been really cool.

[00:04:04] [SPEAKER_05]: I just want to be a part of that.

[00:04:06] [SPEAKER_05]: So that's my biggest goal.

[00:04:07] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:04:08] [SPEAKER_00]: So if somebody wants to get in touch with you, what's the easiest way to get in touch with you?

[00:04:12] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, you can email us at admin at foosballclubsusa.com.

[00:04:17] [SPEAKER_05]: And we've got a new curriculum coming at you real soon that I think is going to satisfy a lot of needs that are currently happening in our clubs.

[00:04:26] [SPEAKER_05]: You know, the program is going to have more depth than it ever has in the past.

[00:04:32] [SPEAKER_05]: I think there's more buzz than there ever has been.

[00:04:35] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm hoping that we can get funded as a director.

[00:04:37] [SPEAKER_05]: My biggest goal is funding and to be transparent as an organization for these companies to look at us and not see a liability.

[00:04:45] [SPEAKER_05]: They see a business opportunity and to just kind of give more energy towards the right things and, you know, run a few tournaments here and there.

[00:04:54] [SPEAKER_05]: You know, that's cool too.

[00:04:56] [SPEAKER_05]: And just have a great time, man.

[00:04:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I like it.

[00:05:00] [SPEAKER_00]: I like it.

[00:05:01] [SPEAKER_00]: I like it.

[00:05:02] [SPEAKER_05]: If we get funding though, we're donating tables at this point.

[00:05:05] [SPEAKER_05]: We're not trying to just write grants and get players to fund this thing.

[00:05:10] [SPEAKER_05]: Like if we get a big organization involved, this effort could really be very fruitful.

[00:05:16] [SPEAKER_05]: I think we could be in a thousand different schools by the end of two years instead of like...

[00:05:21] [SPEAKER_03]: That'd be awesome.

[00:05:22] [SPEAKER_03]: You know?

[00:05:22] [SPEAKER_03]: That'd be so cool.

[00:05:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, so just thinking about the impact.

[00:05:25] [SPEAKER_03]: This reminds me that the Great Lakes Classic, what's...

[00:05:29] [SPEAKER_03]: What do the junior divisions look like?

[00:05:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Are you going to have a tournament for the youngsters?

[00:05:34] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:05:35] [SPEAKER_05]: So we'll have O'Brien Doubles and Singles to pay tribute to John O'Brien who passed away in 2022 before I got involved.

[00:05:42] [SPEAKER_03]: Very cool.

[00:05:43] [SPEAKER_05]: So it's going to be exciting.

[00:05:45] [SPEAKER_05]: And of course, it's a qualifier for the World Cup in Spain for the World Championship Junior Doubles and Singles.

[00:05:50] [SPEAKER_05]: We also are putting together a limited travel package for the junior players that do the best that plan to go.

[00:05:58] [SPEAKER_05]: So number one, you have to be...

[00:06:00] [SPEAKER_05]: Not just on the team, but you have to be qualified to go to Spain to be qualified for this money.

[00:06:05] [SPEAKER_05]: So the best placing junior players that are qualified for Spain already or get qualified can get up to $750 cash for a limited travel package.

[00:06:16] [SPEAKER_05]: So we're trying to make it a little easier for these junior players to afford the World Cup.

[00:06:21] [SPEAKER_05]: It's expensive, you know, a trip to Spain, that's no joke.

[00:06:24] [SPEAKER_05]: So we're hoping to help with that.

[00:06:26] [SPEAKER_03]: That's cool.

[00:06:27] [SPEAKER_03]: That to me is like, I get to go to Europe to play foosball?

[00:06:32] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, as a kid, yeah, that's mind-blowing.

[00:06:37] [SPEAKER_03]: That's so cool.

[00:06:37] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, man.

[00:06:38] [SPEAKER_05]: It's a lot of fun.

[00:06:39] [SPEAKER_05]: We had a couple guys from Ohio that run a foosball group, put together some money.

[00:06:45] [SPEAKER_05]: We had a couple guys from New York that run a foosball club, put together some money and donated it.

[00:06:49] [SPEAKER_05]: So Eric Miller and Kevin Stickle shout out to you guys for helping out.

[00:06:55] [SPEAKER_05]: And I'm just excited to kind of help these juniors get there.

[00:07:01] [SPEAKER_03]: Are you guys going to be...

[00:07:03] [SPEAKER_03]: This year are we going to do the same speed bridge competition?

[00:07:06] [SPEAKER_03]: Is there going to be a speed shot competition?

[00:07:08] [SPEAKER_05]: There's going to be a fastest shot competition.

[00:07:11] [SPEAKER_05]: Love that.

[00:07:12] [SPEAKER_05]: Dennis Ory sent me a foosfit.

[00:07:13] [SPEAKER_05]: And I just updated it.

[00:07:15] [SPEAKER_05]: My brother's been working on it all day shooting on the defense.

[00:07:18] [SPEAKER_05]: Shout out to Dennis Ory.

[00:07:21] [SPEAKER_05]: And so what I think what we're going to do is a fastest shot contest with the foosfit to promote both foos gadgets and foosfit.

[00:07:29] [SPEAKER_05]: Historically, this tournament has always been kind of like an innovators tournament.

[00:07:33] [SPEAKER_05]: Foos gadgets kind of organized and ran it in the past under them.

[00:07:36] [SPEAKER_05]: And so we still want to have that kind of shine true with just innovating technology into foosball.

[00:07:44] [SPEAKER_05]: And it really transcends the game.

[00:07:46] [SPEAKER_05]: I think Aaron Croft, what he's doing with foos gadgets, it's such an amazing thing.

[00:07:50] [SPEAKER_05]: And these kids, they love the speed bridge.

[00:07:53] [SPEAKER_05]: I've got like 10 different speed bridges in 10 of my clubs.

[00:07:56] [SPEAKER_05]: And they absolutely love it man.

[00:07:58] [SPEAKER_05]: They're like freaking out like who's got the fastest shot?

[00:08:01] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:08:03] [SPEAKER_03]: Naturally for kids, especially because it's instant.

[00:08:06] [SPEAKER_03]: You can see not a lot of effort to say I got the better shot man.

[00:08:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Mine's much faster than yours.

[00:08:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Look at that.

[00:08:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Five miles an hour difference.

[00:08:16] [SPEAKER_03]: That's huge.

[00:08:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Five miles an hour.

[00:08:19] [SPEAKER_03]: That's a lot.

[00:08:20] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah right?

[00:08:21] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, I think was it Sammy that won last year?

[00:08:25] [SPEAKER_03]: The speed bridge?

[00:08:26] [SPEAKER_03]: What I heard.

[00:08:27] [SPEAKER_03]: I think he did.

[00:08:28] [SPEAKER_03]: What I heard.

[00:08:28] [SPEAKER_03]: 29 miles an hour.

[00:08:30] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, 29 miles an hour.

[00:08:31] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't remember honestly.

[00:08:32] [SPEAKER_03]: He was up there 29 miles an hour.

[00:08:34] [SPEAKER_03]: Which young.

[00:08:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:08:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Right.

[00:08:37] [SPEAKER_05]: He dude.

[00:08:38] [SPEAKER_05]: Dang.

[00:08:38] [SPEAKER_05]: He whips it.

[00:08:39] [SPEAKER_05]: He's got a cannon.

[00:08:41] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:08:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Does it matter?

[00:08:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Wait, is there any restriction on what kind of shot you shoot?

[00:08:46] [SPEAKER_05]: So you can't go straight.

[00:08:48] [SPEAKER_05]: That's the only thing.

[00:08:49] [SPEAKER_05]: You have to move it.

[00:08:50] [SPEAKER_05]: And I think adding like a live defense to it.

[00:08:53] [SPEAKER_05]: You know,

[00:08:54] [SPEAKER_05]: I think that's going to add a different flavor to the competition.

[00:08:57] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:08:58] [SPEAKER_05]: You know what I mean?

[00:08:58] [SPEAKER_05]: So it's going to be cool.

[00:08:59] [SPEAKER_05]: There's a sweet trophy we're giving away for it's a nice acrylic.

[00:09:03] [SPEAKER_05]: I got my trophy guy making some trophies.

[00:09:05] [SPEAKER_05]: That's one thing we don't try to shy away with, you know,

[00:09:09] [SPEAKER_05]: as quality trophies like I do like half acrylic and then I do

[00:09:12] [SPEAKER_05]: really nice plaques too.

[00:09:13] [SPEAKER_05]: Good.

[00:09:13] [SPEAKER_05]: And we're doing metals.

[00:09:15] [SPEAKER_05]: So, you know,

[00:09:16] [SPEAKER_05]: I think we spend over like 1200 every year on trophies.

[00:09:19] [SPEAKER_05]: We don't,

[00:09:19] [SPEAKER_05]: we don't shy away from spending money on trophies.

[00:09:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Nice.

[00:09:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it makes a difference man.

[00:09:24] [SPEAKER_03]: It's like that.

[00:09:24] [SPEAKER_03]: As long as you can fit it on the airplane,

[00:09:26] [SPEAKER_03]: that's all it matters.

[00:09:28] [SPEAKER_03]: You know,

[00:09:28] [SPEAKER_03]: That's right.

[00:09:28] [SPEAKER_05]: And you probably could.

[00:09:30] [SPEAKER_05]: There's nothing crazy.

[00:09:32] [SPEAKER_05]: The cup,

[00:09:32] [SPEAKER_05]: the cup though for the team event is going to be sick.

[00:09:34] [SPEAKER_05]: It's going to be a legit cup like the world cup.

[00:09:36] [SPEAKER_05]: And that's,

[00:09:37] [SPEAKER_05]: that's a big inspiration behind kind of running a team event is

[00:09:41] [SPEAKER_05]: like my time at the world cup and just sharing that moment

[00:09:45] [SPEAKER_05]: with like your boys and just like coming together and

[00:09:48] [SPEAKER_05]: getting to know each other and seeing kind of how you

[00:09:50] [SPEAKER_05]: can talk things out and just strategize.

[00:09:53] [SPEAKER_05]: And it's just so special man.

[00:09:54] [SPEAKER_03]: So the layout of the room, I mean, how many tables this year?

[00:09:58] [SPEAKER_03]: What's what's that?

[00:09:59] [SPEAKER_03]: What's happening with that?

[00:10:00] [SPEAKER_05]: Um, so last year we had 27.

[00:10:04] [SPEAKER_05]: I'd like to have around the same amount 20, maybe 30.

[00:10:06] [SPEAKER_05]: Okay.

[00:10:07] [SPEAKER_05]: Topps.

[00:10:08] [SPEAKER_05]: Yep.

[00:10:09] [SPEAKER_05]: The hotels agreed to move some of the furniture and lobby to

[00:10:12] [SPEAKER_05]: kind of make room for more tables.

[00:10:14] [SPEAKER_05]: So if we have like a really fantastic turnout,

[00:10:18] [SPEAKER_05]: we could definitely set up some more tables Friday night

[00:10:20] [SPEAKER_05]: or maybe even Saturday morning.

[00:10:22] [SPEAKER_05]: It just depends.

[00:10:24] [SPEAKER_05]: The crew is going to be some really great guys.

[00:10:27] [SPEAKER_05]: Josh Sarpy is going to be kind of the crew chief running this thing.

[00:10:32] [SPEAKER_05]: The dude is so efficient with how he does things.

[00:10:35] [SPEAKER_05]: And my time with working with him with foosball clubs has been

[00:10:39] [SPEAKER_05]: really fruitful.

[00:10:39] [SPEAKER_05]: I've learned a lot.

[00:10:40] [SPEAKER_05]: He's been a really good mentor for me.

[00:10:42] [SPEAKER_05]: So cool.

[00:10:42] [SPEAKER_05]: I trust the guy.

[00:10:44] [SPEAKER_05]: I trust him and he's, he's good at what he does.

[00:10:46] [SPEAKER_05]: So the staff is going to be great.

[00:10:48] [SPEAKER_05]: Kristen Grogan is going to be running the thing with,

[00:10:53] [SPEAKER_05]: with the help of some really cool people.

[00:10:56] [SPEAKER_05]: So, um,

[00:10:57] [SPEAKER_05]: like I said,

[00:10:58] [SPEAKER_05]: I got my family involved this year a little bit more.

[00:11:00] [SPEAKER_05]: So that's special to me and I have that dude.

[00:11:02] [SPEAKER_05]: You guys,

[00:11:03] [SPEAKER_05]: you're going to get to know the Michigan crew.

[00:11:05] [SPEAKER_05]: It's going to be cool.

[00:11:06] [SPEAKER_03]: And I have to ask, um,

[00:11:08] [SPEAKER_03]: a media coverage, uh,

[00:11:10] [SPEAKER_03]: modern foos or inside foos.

[00:11:12] [SPEAKER_03]: What were you going with that?

[00:11:14] [SPEAKER_05]: So we've got modern foosball this year.

[00:11:16] [SPEAKER_05]: Cool.

[00:11:16] [SPEAKER_05]: And I think that's really critical. I think it's key because some of the things that they've been doing is really important

[00:11:23] [SPEAKER_05]: Yep for the sport and and I love those guys. I want to support them and they've been very gracious

[00:11:28] [SPEAKER_05]: They haven't charged me as much as they could like they're just covering their expenses. Okay, cool. Also

[00:11:35] [SPEAKER_05]: We've got some sponsors that have made video advertisements

[00:11:39] [SPEAKER_05]: For their local scene or maybe like, you know an event

[00:11:43] [SPEAKER_05]: They're running or maybe it's a product that they have for foosball right that is gonna be it's gonna be a show

[00:11:49] [SPEAKER_05]: for people I think and

[00:11:51] [SPEAKER_05]: It's gonna be exciting and also how the finals will play out on Sunday for the team event

[00:11:57] [SPEAKER_05]: It's gonna be cool. It's gonna be on table one

[00:12:00] [SPEAKER_05]: And I just think it's gonna be cool to showcase that I'm excited

[00:12:04] [SPEAKER_05]: About how that plays out what it's gonna look like sure absolutely

[00:12:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Software we're using for software

[00:12:10] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, so we're working with IFP for software

[00:12:14] [SPEAKER_05]: Cool, you know, I would love to and I would love to at some point do like a Swiss and like less events

[00:12:22] [SPEAKER_05]: I think that's where my heart's at. I just didn't know if people were ready for it

[00:12:28] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, they are they're ready right I

[00:12:31] [SPEAKER_05]: Agree for me. It was harder to do this year

[00:12:34] [SPEAKER_05]: And Mary has been

[00:12:36] [SPEAKER_05]: You know like I'm a super loyal dude

[00:12:39] [SPEAKER_05]: I am like Mary has been super gracious and has pretty much got me to this point

[00:12:44] [SPEAKER_05]: So it's kind of hard for me to be like, you know, I'm gonna shy away from IFP and go with ITSF

[00:12:51] [SPEAKER_05]: Logistically, it's more expensive. I think for me to go the other route and it's more risk and with foosball clubs being involved

[00:12:57] [SPEAKER_05]: This year, I wanted to kind of like I'm changing a lot so I didn't want to change too much

[00:13:02] [SPEAKER_05]: And IFP has really done the job for us cool. Yeah, yeah with this kind of system too

[00:13:08] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, you got to stay with success right something that works, you know, you know what inside and out you've worked out the bugs

[00:13:15] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, not not a time to change

[00:13:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Necessary yeah for sure. Yeah, very cool and the software software tables

[00:13:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Do I dare ask a tricky business it is like logistically

[00:13:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Here's a another thing and again, you know, this is give it to me Tom. All right

[00:13:35] [SPEAKER_03]: The tables have been crap a blade

[00:13:39] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, they've been tough man. Yeah, the new men cracking. Yeah

[00:13:44] [SPEAKER_05]: You know, there's been some inconsistencies with the mold in the men's

[00:13:47] [SPEAKER_05]: I've actually talked to Trayla about some of the quality that we're seeing and

[00:13:52] [SPEAKER_05]: And I think he's got a plan to fix a lot of the stuff and make it better

[00:13:57] [SPEAKER_05]: We just have to do the best we can before we got right, you know, and that's really it

[00:14:02] [SPEAKER_05]: You may see some tables not be purchased some people may not be so they may wait and maybe their

[00:14:08] [SPEAKER_05]: Hope to see the quality get better. Yeah

[00:14:12] [SPEAKER_05]: Changing a lot more men at the tournament the rods being bent like it's tough dude

[00:14:18] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm not just speaking as a promoter here like as a pro player like I see that it's like right

[00:14:23] [SPEAKER_05]: But we're gonna do the best we can and provide

[00:14:27] [SPEAKER_05]: An experience that I think will be a little bit different a little bit unique

[00:14:31] [SPEAKER_03]: You're gonna want to come out and make this one nice. Okay. Yeah, I mean even if we just get spare parts that work better

[00:14:39] [SPEAKER_05]: Wouldn't that be nice? I agree, you know, I think I think Tray really has taken it serious

[00:14:43] [SPEAKER_05]: And I think the management chain and tornado

[00:14:48] [SPEAKER_05]: Is starting to see some different perspective and I think Brian has been a big help in that

[00:14:52] [SPEAKER_05]: I think Mary has been a massive

[00:14:55] [SPEAKER_05]: Player in the game of hey like we got to do better and they're starting to listen I think so good

[00:15:01] [SPEAKER_05]: Um, I did an interview with Tray back in May during the World Series

[00:15:05] [SPEAKER_05]: and off the camera we talked a lot about the quality and he was super genuine

[00:15:11] [SPEAKER_05]: He didn't give me political answers. Okay, and he you know, he just kind of he gets it

[00:15:17] [SPEAKER_03]: I feel like well, I mean it's it clearly they make a lot of product not just foosball

[00:15:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Of course, right? So, you know Valley Dynamo is huge in pool

[00:15:28] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean that's where their bread and butter is man. They make a money their tournaments in Vegas

[00:15:34] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean thousands of people show up for those things thousands. Yeah, that's crazy, you know

[00:15:39] [SPEAKER_03]: So I get it but still, you know, we've always see some yeah some things

[00:15:46] [SPEAKER_03]: We've always had better for sure decent tables over the years that that really didn't have that many issues

[00:15:51] [SPEAKER_03]: And all of a sudden things have changed

[00:15:53] [SPEAKER_05]: Dude the brown marble was the best yeah tornado ever made that was the first table ever played on

[00:16:00] [SPEAKER_05]: Miracle rods down

[00:19:34] [SPEAKER_05]: Like some of the overnight employees have complained about their cars

[00:19:38] [SPEAKER_05]: You know with the converters getting kind of saw it off in the middle of the night

[00:19:41] [SPEAKER_05]: I've actually had to deal with I do I deal with a lot of different people man

[00:19:44] [SPEAKER_05]: My job's kind of crazy sometimes like being a security manager for Walmart. You can only imagine like some of the

[00:19:54] [SPEAKER_05]: People of Walmart

[00:19:58] [SPEAKER_00]: I

[00:19:59] [SPEAKER_00]: Live in Alabama

[00:20:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Think I'm joking right I tell my wife like let's go to Walmart. I grab a gun

[00:20:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah

[00:20:16] [SPEAKER_05]: Well, I actually teach like quarterly active threat like training exercises the

[00:20:21] [SPEAKER_05]: Societs and like to prepare for shootings Wow different things because it dude, it's a tough world

[00:20:26] [SPEAKER_05]: We live in and yeah, it's it's it's kind of scary like there's a new shooting like every week and

[00:20:32] [SPEAKER_05]: Oftentimes it's in a Walmart store or so you have to be careful like threat management safety

[00:20:39] [SPEAKER_05]: It's a big deal man. Yeah, so you you have a lot of responsibility, dude

[00:20:43] [SPEAKER_05]: I wouldn't want it. It's tough man

[00:20:46] [SPEAKER_05]: I balance a P&L of a hundred million dollar Walmart still no kid

[00:20:49] [SPEAKER_05]: So we look at like risk and casualty different like categories in the profit loss margins

[00:20:54] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah

[00:20:54] [SPEAKER_05]: so a lot of the work that I've been doing and have been working on has as like very much translated to like the work that

[00:21:01] [SPEAKER_05]: I do with foosball clubs

[00:21:02] [SPEAKER_05]: It's it's in a way

[00:21:03] [SPEAKER_05]: It's kind of got me ready and prepared to take on this role and try to do my best with it

[00:21:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Wow, yeah, it's been cool. It's very grateful

[00:21:12] [SPEAKER_03]: I can I can see you doing the job. I'm just you know, you're so mellow

[00:21:17] [SPEAKER_03]: I can't imagine now. Do you do you have to you have to be it's all about de-escalation man

[00:21:22] [SPEAKER_05]: It's all about

[00:21:24] [SPEAKER_05]: This guy I've I yeah, I've talked more people out of punching me in the face

[00:21:28] [SPEAKER_05]: Then I've ever thought of punching in the face like it's it's crazy

[00:21:33] [SPEAKER_05]: Like I've been attacked. I've had guns brandish. I've had knives pulled on me

[00:21:36] [SPEAKER_05]: Like wow, I kind of grew up in the streets a little bit like Southside of Lansing and yep

[00:21:41] [SPEAKER_05]: Like so you pick up a couple things and really just kindness man. It translates beyond race beyond gender beyond

[00:21:48] [SPEAKER_05]: Anything man if you just you act kind to someone and they're more apt to not punch you in the face

[00:21:53] [SPEAKER_00]: If you just treat people the way you want to be treated mm-hmm

[00:21:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Everybody golden rule right? Yeah, three people the way you want to be treated be kind. Yeah

[00:22:02] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, everybody's going through something man. Oh man that is that's for sure that's for sure. Yeah

[00:22:08] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's it's it's unfortunate because a lot of people forget that stuff, you know, they forget about

[00:22:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, I know there are Mike my coffee is cold. What the hell's wrong with you? You

[00:22:19] [SPEAKER_03]: You're lazy bastard, you know, I mean we can't go we can't go about a day like that. Yeah, we just can't do that

[00:22:26] [SPEAKER_00]: It's true. Everybody's dealing with something. Yep. Yep exactly. It's tough for everybody right now

[00:22:33] [SPEAKER_00]: so

[00:22:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, what are you gonna do man? But again, hey and that's why I like football. That's what we're gonna do

[00:22:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Look when I this is the thing right and I say it all the time foosball players

[00:22:43] [SPEAKER_00]: We're just selfish by nature, right?

[00:22:46] [SPEAKER_00]: But when I'm at a tournament and I hear somebody complain about something. I'm just like

[00:22:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Why man? Like it's yeah, like just having fun, dude

[00:22:54] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, how can you not how can you not be having a good time at a foosball tournament?

[00:22:58] [SPEAKER_03]: I that's a that's a really really good question really good question

[00:23:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, kind of wonder that's why look again people you came on here to just give us a little bit of insight, right?

[00:23:08] [SPEAKER_00]: But people really don't know

[00:23:10] [SPEAKER_00]: The majority of foosball players don't know what it takes to put something like this together

[00:23:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Like it's it's it's it's a lot of work

[00:23:16] [SPEAKER_00]: You almost year-round for you to put on a tournament like this and it's like when I go to an event a

[00:23:22] [SPEAKER_00]: State event or one of Mary's you know, I always whoever's running the tournament

[00:23:42] [SPEAKER_05]: I've been super fortunate like people have been very thankful and have expressed their gratitude and

[00:23:48] [SPEAKER_05]: Like I always heard that like and honestly local promotion is thankless like knowing the same guys coming in every week

[00:23:56] [SPEAKER_05]: And like there's always that one guy who gives you a hard time

[00:23:59] [SPEAKER_05]: And then there's the guys that complain about the rules or the format or what's going on or you know like it

[00:24:05] [SPEAKER_05]: It gets too personal and I feel like with this sort of work like

[00:32:44] [SPEAKER_05]: You know, we've got there's just so many moving parts. So it's gonna be fun, man

[00:32:48] [SPEAKER_03]: I let me enjoy it. Let me ask you this question then from the first time you put on a tournament was what three years ago

[00:32:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, 2021 from from that day to now

[00:33:01] [SPEAKER_03]: What has become just automatic for you? Like I I learned this the first time I did this

[00:33:08] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm never gonna make that mistake again. What's become automatic now that you're three years in

[00:33:13] [SPEAKER_05]: The communication and I feel like sometimes I over communicate like I'll post a little bit too much because I'm a little insecure

[00:33:20] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm like, what if people don't go? Yeah, or if what if someone doesn't see it?

[00:33:25] [SPEAKER_05]: But the communication I feel like is like the biggest thing for me that I just try to communicate like hey

[00:33:29] [SPEAKER_05]: This is what we're doing

[00:33:31] [SPEAKER_05]: And just promote it and put it out there

[00:33:32] [SPEAKER_05]: And then you don't want to like post too much because other promoters want to promote too and sure you don't want to

[00:33:37] [SPEAKER_05]: Look a little selfish about like over posting or stuff like that like I share everyone's fires

[00:33:42] [SPEAKER_05]: Right. I try to try to be fair and do that and like if I know it's like a certain weekend

[00:33:48] [SPEAKER_05]: I may not post as much as I would normally like I want to I don't want to like try to steal the show or anything but

[00:33:55] [SPEAKER_05]: You know for me, it's just the the people too like I've got so much support

[00:34:00] [SPEAKER_05]: Yep, I I can't tell you how much support I have it's it's insane

[00:34:05] [SPEAKER_05]: And so it makes this effort a lot more

[00:34:08] [SPEAKER_05]: Uh easier to execute and just follow up to certain things, you know, like certain people have a job

[00:34:14] [SPEAKER_05]: But I'm definitely like the coordinator of a lot of it

[00:34:16] [SPEAKER_05]: Um, you know, I've got some sound boards like I'll call certain people and like

[00:34:21] [SPEAKER_05]: Run them through like my checklist and like there's like two or three people that they know exactly what's happened

[00:34:27] [SPEAKER_05]: You know what orders have been placed because I'm talking to like so many different people. So um

[00:34:33] [SPEAKER_05]: It's a lot but uh, yeah

[00:34:35] [SPEAKER_05]: It's so worth it, man like just watching people come and and just have such a great time

[00:34:40] [SPEAKER_05]: Like we've we've been really fortunate to to have some very positive experiences

[00:34:46] [SPEAKER_05]: People, you know, not a lot of people have said bad things about the tournament. So cool. Um

[00:34:51] [SPEAKER_05]: You know, yeah, if I could do anything better it would just be like

[00:34:57] [SPEAKER_05]: What we're doing it this year like I'm rebranding we have an identity

[00:35:01] [SPEAKER_05]: You know, I've taken run it being a promoter and then

[00:35:05] [SPEAKER_05]: Getting involved as a volunteer for this nonprofit and just kind of mesh it together to make it make sense

[00:35:11] [SPEAKER_05]: um

[00:35:11] [SPEAKER_05]: And just you know making it bigger than it was before hopefully and just

[00:35:16] [SPEAKER_05]: Doing it for the right reason. I don't know. I think the communications the biggest thing though

[00:35:22] [SPEAKER_03]: And for uh for the people that are thinking about what you do

[00:35:26] [SPEAKER_03]: People who may be listening to this very podcast or or we're watching it on twitch tv

[00:35:32] [SPEAKER_03]: What's the one thing you would want to say to those people who say, you know, I want to do what he's doing

[00:35:37] [SPEAKER_03]: What would you tell them number one is the one thing you don't want to do?

[00:35:43] [SPEAKER_05]: um

[00:35:45] [SPEAKER_05]: That's that's tough. Um

[00:35:48] [SPEAKER_05]: I think I'd rather answer the question with saying what you want to do

[00:35:52] [SPEAKER_05]: Um, I think you want to do it for the right reasons. I think that you should never hope to make money doing this

[00:36:00] [SPEAKER_05]: I think you should yeah, it's true

[00:36:02] [SPEAKER_05]: It's true and I've been fortunate enough that I've I've you know, we financially we've we've made money every year and I've rolled it over

[00:36:09] [SPEAKER_05]: and uh

[00:36:10] [SPEAKER_05]: You know, it always goes into the next year. I never take any anything from it personally and I've actually like been at a loss

[00:36:16] [SPEAKER_05]: I've spent money to try to do things

[00:36:18] [SPEAKER_05]: um, which I expect to do and I'm okay with

[00:36:22] [SPEAKER_05]: um

[00:36:24] [SPEAKER_05]: Just do it for the right reason and it's easier than you think. Um, it's all about the team

[00:36:28] [SPEAKER_05]: It's so little about the one person kind of making it happen. I know it takes the one person the one percent whatever

[00:36:35] [SPEAKER_05]: But it's all about the people you put around you like

[00:36:38] [SPEAKER_05]: Um, and I think that really shines the truest with what we do here

[00:36:42] [SPEAKER_05]: Is we do it together, you know, like it's it's a big team effort

[00:36:48] [SPEAKER_03]: I

[00:36:49] [SPEAKER_03]: Love that answer the people that's gonna work the people

[00:36:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, awesome. Cool man. Yeah

[00:53:44] [SPEAKER_03]: Wow, uh, yeah, we we've blown through a couple of hours here man

[00:53:47] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm like, you know what this kind of reminds me of you know, this reminds me of actually going to a tournament

[00:53:51] [SPEAKER_03]: And chilling with with friends and just you know getting into conversations like this

[00:53:54] [SPEAKER_03]: That's just what it reminds me of

[00:53:57] [SPEAKER_05]: Reposos of I man and and and and Tom you just you bring so much to the table too, man

[00:54:01] [SPEAKER_03]: This is fun. Well, I'm just like I like I say I'm just another pretty voice

[00:54:05] [SPEAKER_03]: But uh you guys are the you guys are the topic you guys are the reason that we're here

[00:54:11] [SPEAKER_03]: So

[00:54:15] [SPEAKER_03]: Hey, what can I tell you, you know, uh

[00:54:18] [SPEAKER_03]: I just started all of it

[00:54:21] [SPEAKER_03]: In some circles somber tones in a world

[00:54:26] [SPEAKER_03]: I just got a better microphone than you that's all

[00:54:29] [SPEAKER_03]: All right

[00:54:33] [SPEAKER_05]: There's some prowess man and some a skill set to this

[00:54:37] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, there is some of that. Yeah, I mean the first time I was on the arrow was 15

[00:54:43] [SPEAKER_03]: So wow. Yeah

[00:54:44] [SPEAKER_03]: So I kind of had it was sort of like you and foosball

[00:54:48] [SPEAKER_03]: But although you what you were nine when you started playing them, right?

[00:54:52] [SPEAKER_03]: I was uh 10 10. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so

[00:54:55] [SPEAKER_03]: But like when I first started playing you yeah, I mean when you start something at that age

[00:55:00] [SPEAKER_03]: You're gonna be good at it eventually

[00:55:03] [SPEAKER_03]: So

[00:55:04] [SPEAKER_03]: Like the best in the world

[00:55:06] [SPEAKER_05]: It's all about the six inches between your ears, man

[00:55:10] [SPEAKER_05]: That's the thing I learned

[00:55:12] [SPEAKER_05]: I've like I'm I'm so forgetful that I'm I'm being more of a student now

[00:55:16] [SPEAKER_05]: And I think that's what's gonna get me to the next level. Yes

[00:55:19] [SPEAKER_05]: And I'm yep, I I like write things down and I watch tape and I study players and

[00:55:25] [SPEAKER_05]: You know when I really respect someone I'll spend my time watching them. Yeah, and uh

[00:55:31] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, so it's it's cool

[00:55:33] [SPEAKER_03]: It's um, I can see that aspect of what you do as you as you pay it forward and you introduce kids to the sport

[00:55:41] [SPEAKER_03]: You're also you're introducing them to something that didn't know before but at the same time you're inspiring them

[00:55:49] [SPEAKER_03]: That's cool, man. You know, thank you inspire

[00:55:52] [SPEAKER_03]: That's what you do

[00:55:54] [SPEAKER_05]: That that would be a nice byproduct of of kind of the the goal here. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, keep it up man

[00:56:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Because we we need more players

[00:56:04] [SPEAKER_03]: Um

[00:56:05] [SPEAKER_03]: A lot of the guys that I play with here in the upstate

[00:56:07] [SPEAKER_03]: It up new york, uh new york area. Some of us are getting injured

[00:56:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Getting older not showing up every week. Yeah. Yeah, so we're running out of supply for me

[00:56:17] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, for for me, uh, you know, if I could say one last thing about kind of

[00:56:22] [SPEAKER_05]: My approach here is like it's not always about competition

[00:56:26] [SPEAKER_05]: Uh for growing foosball

[00:56:28] [SPEAKER_05]: Like for foosball to be big again in my opinion it has to be

[00:56:33] [SPEAKER_05]: A facet of popular culture and it has to be a social sport

[00:56:38] [SPEAKER_05]: Uh to people. You know, it's it's not always about like

[00:56:43] [SPEAKER_05]: The competitive side of it like that I think that should be like a byproduct of like these clubs that we

[00:56:47] [SPEAKER_05]: That we kind of create, right, you know, I want these kids to like meet their friends playing foosball

[00:56:52] [SPEAKER_05]: You know, just like just like you guys I would have never have met you guys had been for this crazy sport, right? And so

[00:56:59] [SPEAKER_05]: uh, we're better people because of this thing

[00:57:03] [SPEAKER_05]: And uh, it brings us together and that's what I'm hoping to do

[00:57:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely. Absolutely. You're 100 correct. Some of my best friends in the world. I'm not them playing. Yeah, exactly right

[00:57:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Exactly right. And you know that that whole idea

[00:57:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Um like just a quick anecdote last night

[00:57:19] [SPEAKER_03]: There's there's like five of us playing just pick up games last night because it wasn't just there's no

[00:57:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Not enough for a tournament but anyway, it's myself and and kevin walker and uh

[00:57:29] [SPEAKER_03]: This guy johnny bedouin and bob george and a few other guys and we're playing right so this dude

[00:57:34] [SPEAKER_03]: He it's a pool hall. So there's a lot of people there

[00:57:37] [SPEAKER_03]: And he comes by and he stops and he comes over and he's he's looking at us at his play

[00:57:42] [SPEAKER_03]: He goes, hey man, I hate to interrupt but um, I used to love this game

[00:57:47] [SPEAKER_03]: And i've never seen it played at this level before wow

[00:57:51] [SPEAKER_03]: Would you mind if I if I videotaped could I use my phone to tape you guys?

[00:57:55] [SPEAKER_03]: I want to I want to send it to a friend of mine because he's not going to believe how you guys play

[00:58:00] [SPEAKER_03]: And we're like, of course, you know that yeah, we're we're we're fine with that

[00:58:05] [SPEAKER_03]: And we finally said to him hey listen if you used to play you you should come back in

[00:58:09] [SPEAKER_03]: You know join us. We're here every friday night. He's like i'm going to grab my buddy and we're going to come down

[00:58:13] [SPEAKER_02]: That's how it starts man. Like

[00:58:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, exactly

[00:58:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Even if even if he stood back and goes

[00:58:20] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh my god

[00:58:22] [SPEAKER_03]: I've never seen it played like this before this is crazy. You guys are nuts

[00:58:26] [SPEAKER_03]: But he's still gonna come back and and uh bring his friend with him. So it's like it's like what rob maras said man and

[00:58:32] [SPEAKER_05]: who's ballers

[00:58:34] [SPEAKER_05]: He's like if you give a kid a guitar

[00:58:36] [SPEAKER_05]: Is he gonna know what to do with it? If he if he's never played a guitar before or he's never seen someone play it

[00:58:42] [SPEAKER_05]: Uh, and we just have to get in front of more people. So they see there is levels to this

[00:58:48] [SPEAKER_05]: There's layers man and it it makes it makes your brain stronger and makes your

[00:58:54] [SPEAKER_05]: You know, it makes you happier. Yeah makes you healthier. It's it's good for people. It's good for everybody

[00:58:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's um and as long as you're you know

[00:59:03] [SPEAKER_03]: Assessable for other people to see it. That's that's the other thing too. You know, that's why good media is always gonna make the difference

[00:59:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Good media. That's right. Yeah the media. That's right, man. Come on go. That's you buddy

[00:59:16] [SPEAKER_00]: So and again modern foods gonna have modern foods out shout out to modern foods man. Hey listen anybody listening Russian, right?

[00:59:24] [SPEAKER_00]: We got we got patreons go support. Mm-hmm be a supporter if you like the product

[00:59:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Modern foods has a patreon

[00:59:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Fooz talk live as a patreon foosball radio. Yep foosball radio foosball clubs should have a patreon

[00:59:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, you know, I love looking at that. I don't even know what it means

[00:59:44] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, so patreon what it is actually and kudos to our patreon

[00:59:49] [SPEAKER_03]: Participators we call them pillars because they're basically keeping us a float

[00:59:53] [SPEAKER_03]: But so what they can do is they go to go to the patreon page

[00:59:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Let's say you build one website. Yeah for foosball clubs usa.com

[01:00:03] [SPEAKER_03]: They go to the patreon page you establish

[01:00:06] [SPEAKER_03]: And they can they can actually give you donations every month

[01:00:11] [SPEAKER_03]: To help support you so five bucks a month subscription base model

[01:00:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yep five bucks a month ten bucks a month

[01:00:17] [SPEAKER_03]: 20 bucks a month or one donation. Yep. So it's really worth you talk about patreons

[01:00:23] [SPEAKER_05]: I just thought that was a word to describe someone who donated. I didn't know it was actually like a platform right?

[01:00:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's a it's a platform and again think about it like like

[01:00:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Five bucks man. It's a latte. I give up one latte a month and I can yeah

[01:00:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, something that I love something that's helping grow something that I love. So it's beautiful man. Yeah

[01:00:43] [SPEAKER_03]: it's

[01:00:44] [SPEAKER_03]: Especially for for what you do because you really as a nonprofit really need

[01:00:49] [SPEAKER_03]: That support

[01:00:51] [SPEAKER_03]: To keep things going, you know, we just uh,

[01:00:54] [SPEAKER_05]: You know, we just actually set up a trello account a couple months back and basically what that is is it's um

[01:01:01] [SPEAKER_05]: I think it's called trello, but it's uh, it's basically this

[01:01:05] [SPEAKER_05]: Organization that takes donations for nonprofits. Mm-hmm and they there's no service fee like they don't take any piece

[01:01:12] [SPEAKER_05]: You can tip them and they helps them do what they do

[01:01:16] [SPEAKER_05]: But it's a really great service and I'll have qr codes at the tournament

[01:01:20] [SPEAKER_05]: And October you can scan and you can tip tip the organization a couple bucks if you want and

[01:01:27] [SPEAKER_05]: You know, obviously all the proceeds are going directly to the nonprofit too

[01:01:31] [SPEAKER_05]: So just showing up and playing in a foosball tournament. You're supporting a bigger picture

[01:01:36] [SPEAKER_05]: Thing and a movement that's happening all over the country. So

[01:01:40] [SPEAKER_05]: Um, I have an eye donors are so important

[01:01:44] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean it's it's it there these sites are out there and I also have a couple of ideas myself

[01:01:49] [SPEAKER_03]: I think you know, you know, we if we collaborate let's say between foosball clubs usa and foosball radio

[01:01:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, you know, we could do like a table that's wrapped with our logos on it and give it away

[01:02:01] [SPEAKER_03]: You know, you know and uh generate some interest and you know give it away

[01:02:05] [SPEAKER_03]: But but also if people want to you know, I guess you'd call it a lottery if you wanted to uh raffle raffle a raffle

[01:02:12] [SPEAKER_03]: There you go. Um, that's a great idea. You know something like that. Josh

[01:02:17] [SPEAKER_05]: Josh sarpy the the guy who's been doing a lot of the table raps

[01:02:21] [SPEAKER_05]: Uh all of the table raps. He's um

[01:02:24] [SPEAKER_05]: We we've got a couple sponsor tables that have been around uh on tour all year long

[01:02:28] [SPEAKER_05]: So table one and two table two on tour for ifp has been a foosball clubs table all year long

[01:02:34] [SPEAKER_05]: Nice, uh, mary's been a big supporter in that. Yeah, we we got a we got a bunch of buddies that run their own businesses

[01:02:40] [SPEAKER_05]: And usually they're foosball

[01:02:42] [SPEAKER_05]: oriented

[01:02:43] [SPEAKER_05]: And we'll have them donate and then we fund a table and we still need to figure out what we're doing with the table

[01:02:48] [SPEAKER_05]: At the end of the year because it's it's ours now right to sponsor money

[01:02:51] [SPEAKER_05]: I think we're just going to give it to a school. But um, you know, it's it's really a great idea

[01:02:57] [SPEAKER_05]: I'd love to do something like that with you guys cool raffle again a raffle right like the raffle sounds sick though

[01:03:03] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah 20 bucks 20 bucks for an arm length of tickets or whatever. I mean, yeah

[01:03:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Right if if you if we can get enough players to you know, or or whatever tournament you decide to raffle the table off at

[01:03:14] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean people typically

[01:03:17] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean chance 20 bucks for a chance to win the table. I mean sure. Yeah, why not? That's a great idea

[01:03:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Why not and and you know everybody signs it and you know does the whole the whole nine get some pros to

[01:03:28] [SPEAKER_03]: To sign the table

[01:03:30] [SPEAKER_03]: And you got a custom a custom

[01:03:34] [SPEAKER_03]: Wrap but also you got all these these signatures that

[01:03:36] [SPEAKER_03]: And it means something man. You supported something. Yep. Yeah

[01:03:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, and and again like i'm just saying me personally

[01:03:43] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna i'm gonna buy tickets if I win the raffle. I'm just gonna donate the table

[01:03:48] [SPEAKER_00]: All that's it. I'm gonna donate the table. I'm just saying like you know,

[01:03:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Fools ball players like I said, we're pretty selfish, but we're also pretty generous generous generous generous. I don't know how you're both

[01:04:00] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know

[01:04:01] [SPEAKER_00]: But whatever anyway, I'm just saying it's um, you know

[01:04:07] [SPEAKER_00]: We're all uh

[01:04:09] [SPEAKER_00]: We're all passionate. We all want to play we love it, but at the same time it's like we sit around and talk about how do we make this big?

[01:04:16] [SPEAKER_00]: um

[01:04:17] [SPEAKER_00]: But like you're doing it right you're one of the guys that's actually out there doing it

[01:04:21] [SPEAKER_00]: So it's like, you know, whatever we can do to help. I mean, I you know legitimately dude

[01:04:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Like if you need me i'm a phone call away

[01:04:28] [SPEAKER_00]: So thank you man

[01:04:29] [SPEAKER_00]: I can do man just reach out likewise

[01:04:31] [SPEAKER_05]: You know the biggest the biggest thing uh that you guys can do right now

[01:04:35] [SPEAKER_05]: You're already doing it. You know, you're coming out to the the tournament we're running and

[01:04:38] [SPEAKER_05]: Uh, you know if down the road you get some free time and you want to throw a contact my way for a school

[01:04:44] [SPEAKER_05]: Or if you guys want to email me like an admin at foosballclubsusa.com and you want to be a club facilitator in your own state

[01:04:52] [SPEAKER_05]: Uh, there's a lot of perks to it. I'd like to run this tournament every year and maybe give free entry

[01:04:57] [SPEAKER_05]: A total free package to every club facilitator that runs a club for a youth program

[01:05:01] [SPEAKER_05]: There's a lot of ideas and we can layer this uh, and we can add incentive to a system

[01:05:07] [SPEAKER_05]: To kind of get people energized to want to do this and I think number one is changing the location get like a hilton in detroit

[01:05:14] [SPEAKER_05]: 10 miles from the airport. Okay, uh, you know have the same

[01:05:19] [SPEAKER_05]: beautiful setup

[01:05:20] [SPEAKER_05]: Uh a little bit different and unique maybe a bigger ballroom

[01:05:23] [SPEAKER_05]: But then give these perks to these people that are putting in the work

[01:05:26] [SPEAKER_05]: Out in the field man. They got their boots on the ground. So um

[01:05:31] [SPEAKER_05]: There's a lot of different ways to to help man and in your time is the most valuable asset asset that you can offer

[01:05:36] [SPEAKER_00]: Cool, dude. I live I live behind an elementary school and less than a mile from a

[01:05:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Intermediate school and a high school

[01:05:44] [SPEAKER_00]: So dude, sweet. I would love I would love to get something going man. Yeah, give me the contact

[01:05:50] [SPEAKER_00]: My favorite thing to do is beat on people that don't know how to play football

[01:06:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Let's go, baby

[01:06:03] [SPEAKER_00]: What do I need to do to get your contact? What do I how do I get your contact? What do I need to do?

[01:06:07] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, so you can just email me at uh either mike at foosballclubsusa.com or admin at foosballclubsusa.com

[01:06:16] [SPEAKER_05]: And uh, i'm really responsive

[01:06:18] [SPEAKER_05]: To the emails I check my email every day

[01:06:21] [SPEAKER_05]: um

[01:06:22] [SPEAKER_05]: and you know

[01:06:24] [SPEAKER_05]: basically

[01:06:24] [SPEAKER_05]: Uh knowing someone in the school is the most

[01:06:28] [SPEAKER_05]: It's it's the most critical piece is to really sell this

[01:06:32] [SPEAKER_05]: I've got this this pitch down

[01:06:34] [SPEAKER_05]: To the point where I've talked about it so much. I've pitched so many people

[01:06:38] [SPEAKER_05]: Um, I've been rejected so many times that I

[01:06:42] [SPEAKER_05]: It's fluid. It's it's like second nature to me. I I can I can get people really interested in in the program

[01:06:49] [SPEAKER_05]: I think with uh just kind of the way I communicated. I know a lot about it. So

[01:06:53] [SPEAKER_05]: Nice, um, you know, I I can talk to whoever or you know, if you want to sell it

[01:06:58] [SPEAKER_05]: I would love to talk to you to try to maybe

[01:07:01] [SPEAKER_05]: Give you some information so that you can speak to it as well. Um, and yeah, we're doing this the right way man

[01:07:06] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah

[01:07:07] [SPEAKER_00]: So who who would be like the key point person in in the school to talk to who would be the person?

[01:07:13] [SPEAKER_05]: The person who makes the decisions is typically the principal

[01:07:17] [SPEAKER_05]: Uh in a lot of cases I've learned the assistant vice principal or the assistant principal

[01:07:23] [SPEAKER_05]: They're they're really dealing with the staff in in the school a lot. So they have their

[01:07:29] [SPEAKER_05]: Um, they're really well versed in like what teachers are available to do what and then they also um

[01:07:36] [SPEAKER_05]: In my experience, they've done a lot of like the social work with the kids too

[01:07:39] [SPEAKER_05]: So you might know groups that would be interested. Um, if you can, you know, get a hold of one of those people

[01:07:46] [SPEAKER_05]: Um, and then they can just kind of get the ball rolling

[01:07:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, see because I'll just I'll just walk in

[01:07:51] [SPEAKER_00]: As for the vp have a come on. Yeah, man. Yeah, yo, where's that vp? Yeah. Yeah

[01:07:57] [SPEAKER_00]: I'll see what I can drum up. Yes

[01:07:59] [SPEAKER_03]: I think the biggest appeal too is the fact that uh, especially kids of a certain age between the age of 12 and 17

[01:08:06] [SPEAKER_03]: They're all different shapes and sizes. Some have athletic abilities. Some don't but foosballs is the great equalizer

[01:08:12] [SPEAKER_03]: So you could have a like I said, man

[01:08:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, a six foot two, you know quarterback trying to play against a uh, a five foot tall girl and get his ass beat

[01:08:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, you know

[01:08:23] [SPEAKER_05]: Basically, man, uh, it's it is a great equalizer. Yeah, and it kind of puts everyone on the same

[01:08:29] [SPEAKER_05]: Playing field. There's this one girl in a michigan club. I know I know we probably got to go soon

[01:08:34] [SPEAKER_05]: But I'll I'll talk about this this one instance. So there's this girl. She's in crushes

[01:08:39] [SPEAKER_05]: And we just got this new, uh, club going in howl and erin croff with foos gadgets is like my club facilitator out there at that location

[01:08:47] [SPEAKER_05]: And he'll go every monday

[01:08:48] [SPEAKER_05]: And there's this girl who's in crutches and she's just kicking these

[01:08:52] [SPEAKER_05]: Boys' butts, man

[01:08:54] [SPEAKER_05]: She's crushing them and she's on crutches too. Like she's just like and yeah, dude

[01:08:59] [SPEAKER_05]: So it's cool to see like the interest of you know, the girls like in our rockford club

[01:09:04] [SPEAKER_05]: We had 24 women's doubles teams for women's doubles. Seriously 24

[01:09:09] [SPEAKER_05]: There was yep, yep

[01:09:10] [SPEAKER_05]: There was 48 women that played in or young girls that played in this uh ninth grade

[01:09:15] [SPEAKER_05]: Campus tournament that's more teams at worlds. Yeah, and that was that was this there was this year and so um, you know, we're just

[01:09:23] [SPEAKER_05]: We want to add different cool fun things to the program and give kids incentive to play foosball someday

[01:09:29] [SPEAKER_05]: I would love to see

[01:09:31] [SPEAKER_05]: College scholarships be given uh for champions of tournaments wouldn't that be nice for these high schools, right?

[01:09:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Universities playing against each other and foosball. Yeah

[01:09:39] [SPEAKER_05]: And we also have college a college sector too that i'm starting to implement

[01:09:57] [SPEAKER_05]: Two colleges that are in the program just like

[01:09:59] [SPEAKER_05]: Scholastic foosball man. It could be the thing that really helps the sport

[01:10:04] [SPEAKER_03]: so well that that's uh, that's um
