Q&A: Sports Parenting Philosophies, Favorite Bands, Watching Film as a Broadcaster & Much More!

Gabe Ikard and Teddy Lehman answer the following listener questions ():
1. Daniel Mann- As successful athletes (and now as parents), how do you (or will you) handle athletics with your kids? How do/will you approach it if your kids want to play football? How do you help them not to live under the pressure of your shadows?
2. @SoonerJG- Teddy…who is your second favorite band after Tool?
3. @Asbell_tony- When you’re traveling not work related, what are top criteria for hotel choice? Some are loyal to a brand and frequent stay points. Some value, some breakfast or happy hour. Some people the gym. Exclude the obvious of location.
4. Jaxson Moore- did you guys have to learn to watch film differently when job roles switched from on field to off field?
5. Nick Gelona- if the fingers on one of your hands could each magically produce an unlimited supply of any liquid, which 5 liquids would you choose?
6. Brad Green- For Teddy- did you have a teammate that you absolutely hated to tackle or go up against?
7. John Shupe- if you guys were given a time machine to go back and play 1 season on any Super Bowl winning team, which team would you choose and why? Like Teddy going back to the b on the ’85 Bears so he can sing the hit song Super Bowl Shuffle of Gabe going back to be on the ‘89 49ers so he could hike the ball to Joe Montana and his soft, gentle hands for a full season.

Gabe’s top bands are gold. Me and Gabe would get along very well with a couple beers, a bonfire, and some music lol. Love the pod!

[@brockcastleberry1154]

Teddy’s favorite band is TOOL? As if I couldn’t love the man any more… ❤

[@jerrytroxell6517]

Gabe I want to thank you for training my grandson at Cassidy right after you graduated. He’s now go a scholarship to play rugby at St. Bonaventure. Hoping he would play football at OU but didn’t care for the coach at lake Travis and liked rugby better. Teddy remember you hanging out at my cousins house in Ft Gibson, especially the crab apple fight when you were hit in the eye.

[@shyers1]

These two would have made a couple of great Marines! Next month Sooners play🏈

[@gincain7988]

In addition to sports, debate is a great skill for youth to learn

[@unklerude]

ABSOLUTELY! Metallica and hard rock is the shit!

[@jareddeckmusic]

Not bad on the music front. 🎸

[@samlangley4546]

Gabe I’m not on twitter but have a Q&A question. It’s July and I’ve been watching some rerun games from 2011. Ranked #1 going into that year. Very talented offensively and defensively could you ever talk about that season on the podcast or go over your view on how that season played out. Would love to hear about it.

[@HB-tf5mv]

How about that intro with Ed Harris, EPIC. Absolutely 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@SchoonerOffRoad]

I bought a pickup the summer before my senior year of high school and there was a Korn album in the player. I had heard of Korn at the time, but had never heard their music (before that Ozzy was my all time favorite, after that they’re tied in my book) Let’s just say I never took that CD out of the CD player and always had it on. Had the same thing happen about 8 years ago when I bought a VW Jetta. It had Ray Charles’ greatest hits in the CD player. I sold the car last year to my sister and she still has that CD in the player.

[@shanemoke6000]

I would love to know what satisfactory is for gabe as far as hotels go. I'm thinking a 500 dollar a night room or more.

[@jacobknox1364]

This episode taught me that me and Gabe are in different tax brackets when it comes to picking hotels lol

[@dalpoas83]

Love tool and Metallica also. How has nobody mentioned chocolate milk for one of the five fluids 😂.

[@user-jf8oc3ri2q]

LYNYRD SKYNYRD!!!!!!!

[@ruscoleman1741]

FREEBIRD

[@derek17005]

I honestly wouldn't let my kids play tackle football until high school. Middle school is such a weird time in a kid's life and their bodies are still developing. No reason to subject them to injury during those years especially head injuries. I agree with the coaching argument Gabe makes but how many good coaches are really out there that will teach the proper technique rather than letting them be a battering ram.

[@tonyyates5081]

Are y’all going to coach your kids in football

[@smittysd529]

Face to Face peak 90s SoCal punk!

[@sbcbaits994]

Sooooo… about that picture of Teddy wearing nothing but an OU jersey... 😂😂😂

[@Crankinstien]

First Baby! BOOM!

[@okie2992]

I’m not a hotel person at all I want to go camping as far out in the boonies as o can get!

[@stevierowland5414]

Teddy, I drink about 9-24 oz bottles of water with Peach Mango Crystal Light w/Caffeine a day. It’s definitely the best option 😂

[@hoodleehoo]

One of my liquids would 100% be gasoline

[@OK_Breakdown]

Big brain thinking right there.

[@saucehossjosh7272]

I stay at different hotels at least 10 to 15 times a year and as a person with a wife, that’s what it comes down to for me. I can say what I want but ultimately it’s my wife’s decision lol

[@OK_Breakdown]

100%

[@coryreedy2752]

I have the funniest early music story. At my very first real job, the owner’s wife thought she could sing and actually produced an album. They were for sale and I never saw anyone buy one. I took a CD one night. It was the absolute WORST garbage ever. The next day after high school, my best friend was with me in my truck and I didn’t say anything, I just pressed play on the CD player. He heard about 10 seconds, rolled down his passenger window, pressed eject on the CD player, and slung that CD as far as he could. He didn’t say anything nor did he look at me. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@coryreedy2752]

Ted, thank God you found Metallica instead of that horrible CD! 😂

[@dalpoas83]

😂😂😂

[@RPiper2552]

Thinking you guys missed a sponsorship opportunity with Marriott. 😂

[@SchoonerOffRoad]

If They keep putting it out there like that, The Marriott will be calling them. I’m pretty sure the CEO of Marriott watches this show regularly, and if he doesn’t …..he needs to.

[@carsoncalebvibes2170]

Imagine if Ted would found a dolly Parton tape in the ditch 🤣🤣

[@benjaminhamilton1525]

Oil, gasoline, coffee, beer, water,

[@Jaduder405]

LFG

[@robertbutler3053]

There no book to really guide us on how to raise our children.

[@DedHedRy]

But there are plenty of examples of how not to ;0)

[@derek17005]

Sure there is. It's just not hip in today's culture to name it. The Bible.

[@coryreedy2752]

Hotel rewards: Hilton >>>>>>>>>> Marriott

[@Crankinstien]

Zach Bryan? 🤣😂🤣😂

[@fredbagley7636]

Get the kid in wrestling early...it will translate to football?
