- Welcome back to what's inside family channel
today, I am picking up Lincoln, and I'm going to
show you how far we would go for flag football.
It's 11:30 right now on a Monday.
I am coming to Lincoln's school to pick him up.
Hi Lincoln.
- I had to turn in an assignment
in science.
- [Dad] Cause you're getting good grades?
- No.
- [Dad] No?
- Not yet.
- [Dad] Not yet, but you're going to be getting good grades?
- It's because I'm absent!
Like, look, I'm getting checked out!
- [Dad] Yeah, but that's not an excuse!
- Okay, so we made a deal with Lincoln
that if he gets good grades, he can play football
with his friends that are up in Salt Lake.
- [Lincoln] No you didn't say that!
- We did say that, you promised.
You promised you would get good grades when we
signed up for this thing.
It is about 11:40 now,
and he has a game at 5:15
about four hours north of here, so
we're going to be in the car for 10 hours today,
Let's go.
(chill techno music)
It is now 4:30 p.m. and we made it to
the city of Kaysville, Utah.
The city that we actually have keys to the city.
It's really really windy out today,
there's a huge fire up on the hill, I mean
the wind is just pushing the flames across.
Lincoln, tell them about the season so far.
- First game, I threw for two touchdowns,
caught a touchdown, got two picks,
that game was not bad.
I think that's what the numbers were.
We played a really good team and beat them
by two touchdowns.
Last team,
we beat them by like 35 points.
- [Dad] So you're two and O right now?
- Yeah.
- So this is game number three,
they are two and O,
it's going to be a windy one,
it's going to be interesting seeing Lincoln
throwing a football into the wind.
Took us four hours to get here,
and we have a four hour drive back tonight.
Lincoln has to make it to school tomorrow.
One of the coaches is not here yet,
because he's stuck in traffic,
and he has all the flags.
So, were scrambling to find different flags,
but the team that he's playing is undefeated,
and Lincoln's team is undefeated,
so this will be a fun game.
(upbeat music)
Easton you saved the day and brought the flags.
That was a close one.
So what's the first play, what are you going to do?
Hail Mary.
- Yeah.
(chill hip hop music)
(whistle blows)
- It's going pretty well,
Ky jumped, you're not allowed to jump.
The miscommunication on which side Lincoln
was handing it off on,
and now for second down and goal.
(hip hop music)
Good catch Easton.
There is a touchdown Lincoln to Easton,
which is very common play.
Easton is so stinking tall.
Meanwhile, this fire on the mountain is getting crazy.
That's one of those planes that dumps
stuff on the fire.
That plane just dumped all that pink stuff
all over the mountain.
That is crazy.
(techno music)
The other team just scored,
it's seven to six,
Lincoln's team is down now,
and Lincoln just threw a pick.
It was almost a pick six, so
his team's good, and they haven't lost yet,
and the score is 14 to six.
(upbeat music)
Well, if anybody tells you that
flag football is not dangerous, and is
not hard hitting,
they haven't watched much flag football,
because kids get hurt, and they don't have pads.
There was a kid that was just coming across the middle,
slipped, hit his face on another guy,
and luckily, it doesn't look like he has any major injuries.
He was knocked out cold for maybe a minute or so,
but now he's up and seems to be okay.
I would imagine his jaw is probably hurting,
maybe moved some teeth around, but
it can get brutal.
Alright they are losing big time.
They are losing by like, two or three touchdowns.
Lincoln just intercepted the pass, and
now they're back on offense.
(hip hop music)
So the game did not end all that well,
they lost by six points.
It was crazy to see because they only lose
like one game every two years.
Here we are, a week later,
I'm back at Lincoln's school, and I'm
going to pick him up and drive him back up.
So hopefully today is a win.
We're going to get his reaction afterward,
and we're gonna hopefully finish this video
on a high note,
of these guys winning a football game.
I just got back from Montana last night,
I've been traveling all weekend,
and now I gotta drive for another 10 hours today,
so, this is a lot of work,
and there's only two games left,
so I'm like, we got to do it, we got to go,
but how much would you put in to send your son
to rec-league football with his friends?
For me, it feels like a lot,
but I think it's worth it.
- Nice shoes.
- [Dad] You like them?
- I do.
- These are the Joyrides, Lincoln.
They have little balls inside of them,
have you heard of them?
- Yeah, I've worn them like every day.
- [Dad] Oh, they're your shoes?
- Yeah.
- We're going to cut these shoes up,
they are the Nike Joyrides, and
we haven't done it yet.
Some things have to happen, for science.
Oh my gosh, they're bouncing everywhere!
And I put them on today,
just really quick to go get the mail,
and I can't take them off.
They're so comfortable!
Okay, you're sure you want to do this,
and ride in the car for another nine hours, 10 hours?
- Yeah probably.
- [Dad] Put up at least 60 on these guys today.
- 60?
- [Dad] No running plays, just boom boom boom.
Touchdown.
- I'm gonna throw for five touchdowns.
- You heard it here first,
five touchdowns, can he do it?
Let me go drive for four and a half hours.(sighs)
This is the place where, remember,
Tesla wasn't paying their rent,
and so they got in a big fight,
and now, look at this.
They're actually planning.
It looks like they're expanding,
yeah they're putting more super chargers right there.
Man, my little Twitter video did a good job.
If we were in a Tesla right now,
we would have to wait because its full,
so it could take an hour and a half,
two hours just to charge,
we would have to leave a lot sooner
for his football games,
or just miss them,
so, it's definitely the achilles heel of Teslas,
it's the super charging on road trips,
and if you're somebody who takes road trips
more than five, six times a year,
it may not be worth it for you to get a Tesla.
As much as I love Teslas,
I certainly love driving this Honda Accord,
filling up with gas,
and then going and shaving,
on this road trip today that will take
us nine and a half hours,
it would have taken probably 11 and a half.
So, pretty wild.
So we made it, we have the game,
and the weather is so much better than last week.
If you remember last week, we had the crazy winds,
there was like a fire up on the mountain,
and now we're just here and it's beautiful.
It feels like summer.
(intense music)
(cheering)
But why would we come all the way up here?
Well, these are Lincoln's good buddies
from his whole life that he remembers,
that he grew up with,
and they're here,
and they don't have flag football down
where we live,
and they always played flag football here.
No, it's not as competitive as tackle football,
they don't even have playoffs and they
don't even have a champion.
Is it worth it to drive all this way?
I wouldn't recommend it for everybody,
but in our situation,
luckily we're able to do it every Monday,
except for two weeks from now,
where we're traveling out of town.
So he's gonna miss the last game,
but he'll be here for this game and the next one.
They've won all their games except for one,
so it's a blast, and it's fun as a father
just to watch them play.
Last year, when it was over, I was really sad.
Well, I wasn't really sad,
but I was feeling like nostalgic, like
this is your last game buddy,
I enjoyed watching you.
Well this year will definitely be his last year
of flag football.
Next year, hopefully its just golf,
and he's just gonna do a lot of golf, but
let's go see them do something good.
(uplifting music)
Taking a break in football to bring you
a non-sponsored Krispy Kreme Donut
uber eats delivery.
I ordered two dozen donuts so they can
eat them after the game.
What's little league rec sports without
orange slices or donuts or drinks or something?
So, here you are boys.
(uplifting music)
(cheering)
Don't break them.
- [Teammate] Oh my gosh, it's Krispy Kreme Donuts,
how could we have guessed?
- [Lincoln] Oh wow, it's a lot.
- [Teammate] What's Inside A Krispy Kreme Donut box?
Donuts!
- Thank you!
- [Dad] Okay Lincoln, tell us about the game.
How did it go?
Did you score 50 points?
- No.
- [Dad] Did you score five touchdowns?
- No.
- [Dad] How many touchdowns you score?
- I threw for two.
I think I caught one, right?
I caught one for two.
- [Dad] How many interceptions did you have?
- I got two picks.
- [Dad] How many passes did you drop?
- I dropped one, but it was like, I couldn't touch it.
- [Dad] How do you feel about flag football?
Is it worth it to drive 10 hours to play
rec league football?
- I mean, I just like seeing my friends from up here.
- Yeah, we are going to go and head home.
I think we're gonna stop and get some treats
and then it's a long four and a half hour drive home.
They won, they won by a lot.
This is what we do for flag football, every year.
And, oh wait, maybe we're going to get cookies.
Maybe we're going to get cookies now.
Personally I'll be a little sad when these
kids are all grown up and they don't play sports anymore.
Maybe I'll come back and be a referee for other kids,
who knows?
Alright, thanks for watching flag football video.
Donuts.
Thanks for watching.
