Speaker 1: This is the OTP presented by Farm Bureau Health Plans.
Speaker 1: Get the home field advantage with healthcare coverage from Farm
Speaker 1: Bureau Health Plans. They've been protecting Tennessee and since nineteen
Speaker 1: forty seven. Mike Keith with Aby Wells Amy. How are you, Mike,
Speaker 1: I'm so, I'm really excited about our guest and I
Speaker 1: want to I want to introduce him, and this could
Speaker 1: I could make this introduction like an hour. David Keith
Speaker 1: has been in so many movies and television shows. Here's
Speaker 1: some of my favorites. Bru Baker, The Rose, Heartbreak, Hotel, Firestarter, Daredevil,
Speaker 1: The Great Santini, The Lords of Discipline, Behind Enemy Lines,
Speaker 1: The Indian in the Cupboard, and one for which he's
Speaker 1: maybe may be best known, An Officer and a gentleman
Speaker 1: TV series, Hawaii five Regular Role, Law and Order. I
Speaker 1: even remember co Ed Fever, which was his first TV series.
Speaker 1: He won't he won't even know I remember that, David Keith.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Official Podcast the OTP. I can't believe
Speaker 1: you brought up Coed Fever. Boy. That was bad. When
Speaker 1: you're someone's cousin, you've seen everything they've done. Well, Mike,
Speaker 1: you took my first question. I want to know exactly
Speaker 1: how you guys are related, because there might be a
Speaker 1: little confusion. Our grandfathers were brothers. Okay, our grandfather Keith
Speaker 1: and my grandfather was about sixteen, I think when my
Speaker 1: uncle Gilmer, Mike's grandfather was born and so and their
Speaker 1: parents died not long after that. So the older siblings
Speaker 1: in that family, and I think there were eleven I'm
Speaker 1: not sure. I may be wrong at eleven, thirteen to nine,
Speaker 1: but what it was a bunch of them, and the
Speaker 1: older ones raised the younger ones. So my Papal is
Speaker 1: almost like a dad to my uncle Gil. He was.
Speaker 1: He actually forced him. It was during the depression. My
Speaker 1: grandfather had dropped out of school because he had to
Speaker 1: go to work, and your grandfather forced him to come
Speaker 1: live with him so he would finish high school. And
Speaker 1: think about how that changed his life because he got
Speaker 1: a great job with General Foods and had a successful
Speaker 1: career and kind of, you know, passed along good things
Speaker 1: to the rest of our family. And so, yeah, that's
Speaker 1: a good family story. They were two of thirteen. David's
Speaker 1: granddad was second. My granddad was thirteenth. So that was
Speaker 1: the difference. I think Uncle Fred was first. Was he
Speaker 1: the oldest? Yes? Okay, so there you go, Aby, that's
Speaker 1: more than you and the rest of the ot people
Speaker 1: wanted to know. I don't think that's true. I think
Speaker 1: that's a great family story. When I told everybody that
Speaker 1: David was going to do the podcast, they said, you've
Speaker 1: got to ask him about Major League and the Jack
Speaker 1: Parkman shimmy. Do you get more people ask you about
Speaker 1: Jack Parkman than any other character at this part of
Speaker 1: your life? I guess now that the officer and a
Speaker 1: gentleman people are all in nursing homes. What I used
Speaker 1: to get all the time was bodacious set of tatas,
Speaker 1: which is a line actually threw in myself. It was
Speaker 1: a different, different lineup through that in or did you
Speaker 1: really swallow the ring? Those two things from officer, but
Speaker 1: from from young men. They want me to do the
Speaker 1: Parkman shimmy like basketball games, and you know, they've got
Speaker 1: a big head of me, and some of the students
Speaker 1: have seen that. Most of the kid college kids now
Speaker 1: remember from from Indian in the cupboard. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that makes sense. Well, I want to stick with Major
Speaker 1: League two for a second because I've seen a lot
Speaker 1: of sports movies, and I always wonder can people in
Speaker 1: these movies actually play the sports that they are portraying?
Speaker 1: Like Major League too, there had to be some people
Speaker 1: who were legit good at baseball and some people who
Speaker 1: really weren't. Who were some of those people. None of
Speaker 1: the actors on the team were were not good at baseball.
Speaker 1: Most everybody had played, I guess in their youth, but
Speaker 1: they certainly, you know, they were fine at practice. I mean,
Speaker 1: we had some minor league players that were extras, and
Speaker 1: we weren't up to their caliber. But the hardest time
Speaker 1: I had was I hadn't gotten a new prescription of
Speaker 1: my contacts, and so I go to practice with my
Speaker 1: glasses on and hit the ball great. And then it
Speaker 1: came time, you know, in front of when the cameras
Speaker 1: are rolling, and I have my contacts, and it'd be
Speaker 1: was really cold at night in Camden Yards, and the
Speaker 1: contacts were like sticking to my eye lids. And I
Speaker 1: stood there at the play whiffing it over and over,
Speaker 1: finally connected and put it in the outfield. So oh, no,
Speaker 1: eyes are so important in baseball you don't think about it.
Speaker 1: And if I'd only thought ahead of time. Man, Just
Speaker 1: save me some embarrassment. You have some baseball skills, but
Speaker 1: you're really a football fan, right. I've always said basketball
Speaker 1: is my favorite sport. Football is my religion. I love that.
Speaker 1: I might steal that. Actually, you know, the University of
Speaker 1: Tennessee football in my household was too important to enjoy.
Speaker 1: I mean, if the balls lost on Saturday, you didn't
Speaker 1: go around my dad about Wednesday, you know, when you
Speaker 1: knew the next game was coming up. I mean it was.
Speaker 1: It was really bordering on nuts, you know it was.
Speaker 1: It was. It was like having a distant relative in
Speaker 1: major surgery every Saturday. Imagine I feel these days. Is
Speaker 1: it true that you had a role on like within
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Balls program and maybe the Dallas Cowboys program. Oh,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you those stories. So when in nineteen sixty seven,
Speaker 1: when I was thirteen years old and my dad had
Speaker 1: been taking me some games, it just wasn't enough to
Speaker 1: sit and stands. That's part of my personality, just overdue,
Speaker 1: overdue anyway. So I got a job as an equipment
Speaker 1: manager when I was thirteen, and then I played my
Speaker 1: last season of football the following year, and then went
Speaker 1: back as an equipment manager and continued to work until
Speaker 1: seventy one, when I was a junior in high school.
Speaker 1: So I worked at games in the practices. I was
Speaker 1: Bill Battle's ball boy when he was the receiver's coach
Speaker 1: before he became the head coach, and it was so
Speaker 1: much fun. And I got hit, especially when you were
Speaker 1: practicing with the smaller bowl squad and the managers had
Speaker 1: to like play cornerback with an air shield. I got
Speaker 1: knocked all over the place, but it was a real joy.
Speaker 1: And then when I became a little bit of a celebrity,
Speaker 1: Doug Dickey invited me to come back to the games,
Speaker 1: and I said, I really want to be on the sidelines.
Speaker 1: So he hooked me back up with the old manager's coach,
Speaker 1: George Cafego, and they gave me a coach's uniform, and
Speaker 1: I was on the sidelines until I guess two thousand
Speaker 1: and seven or eight with the Tennessee football team. I
Speaker 1: had to put in my movie contracts that I had
Speaker 1: to be I had to be finished by Friday evening
Speaker 1: so I could make a flight back if I was
Speaker 1: in Canada or the continental United States. I had to
Speaker 1: make a flight back to every Tennessee game, and a
Speaker 1: lot of movies shot on Saturday back then, so I
Speaker 1: had to be scheduled out on Saturday. And then when
Speaker 1: Bill Bates got on the sidelines with the Cowboys, he
Speaker 1: got me on the sidelines with the Cowboys and they
Speaker 1: had me down there for a few games. They said, look,
Speaker 1: you're not allowed to be down here without some kind
Speaker 1: of job. So I carried one of those gigantic old
Speaker 1: video recorders for KXAS out of Fort Worth on my shoulder,
Speaker 1: carried that around for a season. And then Tom Landry's
Speaker 1: final season, Greg Ilo, who was director of operations at
Speaker 1: the time, got me a job carrying Tom Landry's headphones
Speaker 1: and standing next to Tom Landry through the whole game.
Speaker 1: And I mean there were so many That was a
Speaker 1: terrible season and his last season, and it ended in
Speaker 1: such heartbreak with him getting fired. But one of the
Speaker 1: amazing things that I remember is he would he would
Speaker 1: call the receivers, he'd call a time out if things
Speaker 1: weren't working, he'd call the receivers over and the quarterback
Speaker 1: and he'd take a piece of paper and a sharpie
Speaker 1: and redesign the pass routes, send them back in completion,
Speaker 1: completion touchdown. Completion completion touchdown was amazing. Another tidbit that
Speaker 1: I want to impart to all football receivers. He would say,
Speaker 1: never jump when the ball is coming at you unless
Speaker 1: you got to you know, high point it and catch it.
Speaker 1: Never have your body going perpendicular to the path of
Speaker 1: the ball, because it just adds another movement and adds
Speaker 1: another element to the possible inaccuracy of the throw. But
Speaker 1: I see players do that all the time. You know,
Speaker 1: they were to go across the middle, and they leave
Speaker 1: their feet and so their body's going this way and
Speaker 1: the ball hits it bounces off. Can I just hit
Speaker 1: on something real quick? Did you say that you wrote
Speaker 1: into your movie contracts like it was a real thing
Speaker 1: that you had to be at these games? Well, I
Speaker 1: didn't personally write it, my lawyer did. But yeah, well right, wow.
Speaker 1: Ever a time you had to turn something down or
Speaker 1: maybe not be a part of something. No, but they
Speaker 1: wouldn't agree to it in Major League two because they
Speaker 1: would fill the stadium with thirty thousand not filled, but
Speaker 1: they put thirty thousand fans. Well, I guess it was
Speaker 1: full in Camden Yards on Saturdays because when people were
Speaker 1: off from work. That's when we had to shoot all
Speaker 1: the big Wide Masters of Baseball games and so forth.
Speaker 1: And so I missed four games that season, and it
Speaker 1: was very painful, but they were very nice. They put
Speaker 1: the Tennessee games on the JumboTron so that I could
Speaker 1: watch them, you know, them between shots. And I remember
Speaker 1: one time I took. I didn't get along with the
Speaker 1: first assistant director on that and I left one Saturday
Speaker 1: morning and flew home to Knoxville, got off the plane
Speaker 1: and they said, mister Keith, you have a message from
Speaker 1: your movie. Come. You have to get right back on
Speaker 1: your plane. They need you for a shot. So I
Speaker 1: fly back up there and they needed running out of focus,
Speaker 1: running from second to third in the background of a shot.
Speaker 1: That's all they needed. And I had to miss the
Speaker 1: Tennessee Alabama game. Oh oh, that's brutal. I've never forgiven him.
Speaker 1: I get it. Well. I assume that not everyone in
Speaker 1: Hollywood is as fanatical about football as you are, but
Speaker 1: there must be some actors who are. Who are some
Speaker 1: of those actors who care about sports, specifically football, as
Speaker 1: much as you, Well, I none as much as me.
Speaker 1: I would venture to say that no one has ever
Speaker 1: been so adamant that they would have a clause put
Speaker 1: in a contract like that. It's a power move. You know.
Speaker 1: Charlie Sheen likes Notre Dame because his dad liked Notre Dame.
Speaker 1: So we sometimes we watched the Tennessee game and his
Speaker 1: bus and then we watched the Notre Dame game. Or
Speaker 1: at one time, Tennessee was killing Kentucky and the game
Speaker 1: was almost over. The Notre Dame game was starting on
Speaker 1: another channel, and he switched over the Notre Dame game
Speaker 1: and it just killed me. I wanted to see a score,
Speaker 1: another touchdown. Here's what's cool about David. Though he's got
Speaker 1: all these great stories. You have a Music City Miracle story.
Speaker 1: You were at Nissan Stadium for the Music City Miracle.
Speaker 1: Every great Titans fan has a Music City Miracle story,
Speaker 1: and you are no exception. Yeah. I was sitting in
Speaker 1: your dad's seats, God bless him, the best seats in
Speaker 1: the house. The problem was I believe that it was
Speaker 1: a forward pass. I was positive it was a forward pass,
Speaker 1: so I was not cheering. I was not enjoying it.
Speaker 1: I was sitting there like this going and they're gonna
Speaker 1: call it back and it's just matter, you know. I
Speaker 1: start looking for flags. I don't see a flag. Everybody's
Speaker 1: still going crazy. And then moments later I started celebrating,
Speaker 1: but it wasn't the same as that feeling you have,
Speaker 1: you know when it's real time and you know that's
Speaker 1: gonna happen. You know they're gonna win. It's a touchdown.
Speaker 1: So I was robbed of that because I just saw
Speaker 1: it as a foreign pass. I still think it close.
Speaker 1: Everybody in Buffalo thinks it was, but everybody else thinks
Speaker 1: we got it. So that's the way that works. Why
Speaker 1: have you become so attached to the Titans, David See,
Speaker 1: I quit the Cowboys when they fired Landry. The Cowboys
Speaker 1: were almost I was almost as crazy about them as
Speaker 1: the Valls. But when they fired Tom Landry and I
Speaker 1: couldn't pull for him at the time, it just killed me.
Speaker 1: And I actually got to mention that to Jerry Jones.
Speaker 1: I said, you know, you ruined every Sunday for me
Speaker 1: for the rest of my life. And he said, well,
Speaker 1: if you ever get past this, you got a seat
Speaker 1: in my box. Twenty years later, I'm shooting something in
Speaker 1: Dallas and Bill Base is going to do the coin toss.
Speaker 1: Bill invites me to come with him. I go up
Speaker 1: to Jerry on the sideline. So you remember our last conversation.
Speaker 1: He said, it's coming back to me. I said, well,
Speaker 1: you still got a seat in that box. He said absolutely.
Speaker 1: So the family allows me in their box when I
Speaker 1: want to go to a Cowboy game. So but anyway,
Speaker 1: I digress. As usual, for the Oilers to come to
Speaker 1: Tennessee was such a great feeling for me one because
Speaker 1: Eddie George was on the team and I was a
Speaker 1: huge fan of Eddie George is. In fact, when Eddie
Speaker 1: when Eddie was at a high state and he won
Speaker 1: the Heisman Trophy and Tennessee beat them in the not
Speaker 1: the gated role. What was the other bowl? Centres thought
Speaker 1: was it the centres? Well, I thought it was in Tampa. Anyway,
Speaker 1: So he has had the worst game of his career.
Speaker 1: He's coming off, he's surrounded by press and he's pushing
Speaker 1: him away, pushing cameras away, and I NiFe through him
Speaker 1: in my Tennessee guard and I grabbed him by their
Speaker 1: jersey and I said, you are a great football player.
Speaker 1: You're one of the greatest football players in the world,
Speaker 1: and you're you have a huge future in front of you,
Speaker 1: and you need to put this day behind you and
Speaker 1: forget about it and move on. You got a great
Speaker 1: future in the NFL. And that actually came back to
Speaker 1: me a few years later because he was with somebody
Speaker 1: in La telling that story, because the guy he was
Speaker 1: telling it to was the producer of a show I
Speaker 1: was doing. So that came back and Eddie and I
Speaker 1: became friends and hung out a little bit Nashville after that.
Speaker 1: But them coming there gave me a real true Sunday experience,
Speaker 1: another football Tennessee football experience. So I was a fan
Speaker 1: from day one. I kind of like the Oilers anyway.
Speaker 1: I love those white blue jerseys and I love it
Speaker 1: when the Titans wear light blue. But yeah, it was
Speaker 1: just it was the greatest thing in the world to
Speaker 1: have Sundays. So I've been a fan, huge fan. I know,
Speaker 1: you get connected to head coaches. What is it about
Speaker 1: Mike Rabel that you like? Rabel is a stud and
Speaker 1: the whole team knows it. And that is a real
Speaker 1: primal thing between a coach and his players. No, no
Speaker 1: one would want to fight him. I mean they might
Speaker 1: whip him, but they would be rough and they would
Speaker 1: not come out unscathed. That's a fundamental thing. I made
Speaker 1: a couple other note to her about him, his demeanor
Speaker 1: on the sidelines. He's just He is calm, he has
Speaker 1: strength with emotion, and you can just see the camaraderie
Speaker 1: with his players. You can see how much he cares
Speaker 1: about them. He's their friend. He's not just their coach.
Speaker 1: He's their friend and buddy. You play a lot harder
Speaker 1: for a friend than you do for a coach. Amy
Speaker 1: knows this. When I do the games, Amy, Amy does
Speaker 1: sidelines with us. I turned my phone off during the game,
Speaker 1: but the first thing I do when the game ends
Speaker 1: is I turned my phone back on. And that's not
Speaker 1: only for family in case something has gone on, but
Speaker 1: also to kind of see what's happening in the locker
Speaker 1: room and just to connect generally. One of the first
Speaker 1: texts I've gotten is from David Keith, and normally it
Speaker 1: revolves around Derreck Henry somehow, some way. I don't think
Speaker 1: there is a bigger Derrick Henry fan in America than
Speaker 1: David Keith. We can't give it to Eric Henry enough
Speaker 1: for you, David, Is that accurate? I struggled this all
Speaker 1: the time, because I want to protect him. They've got
Speaker 1: they can't do what the New Jersey generals and Trump
Speaker 1: did to herschel Walker. You know they can't, but my gosh.
Speaker 1: You know, intimidation is a defense, that's what they're supposed
Speaker 1: to do. But with Henry, Henry offense is an intimidating offense.
Speaker 1: Now you've got a defense that's worrying about him all
Speaker 1: the time. They're worrying about getting beat. And as they
Speaker 1: get beat slowly through the day, they don't just get
Speaker 1: damaged physically, they get damaged emotionally, psychologically, they start to
Speaker 1: doubt themselves. And that is just a crucial tool for
Speaker 1: an offensive to have. Um can you can imagine being
Speaker 1: on the defense and wondering if you're the next guy
Speaker 1: that's going to get, you know, shoved to the ground
Speaker 1: like a little child. And and that's just He's just
Speaker 1: a weapon that can't be ignored. And chickularly, you know,
Speaker 1: I during the Ravens game, one of the texts that
Speaker 1: you know, I loved to winning the game, but we
Speaker 1: should have never been been to overtime. We kicked three
Speaker 1: field goals that at least two of which could have
Speaker 1: been first downs. Or touchdowns. I mean throwing the ball
Speaker 1: on second and five inside the ten, what it's four
Speaker 1: dwn territory? And throwing the ball on third and two
Speaker 1: with Derrick Henry it's four down territory. You tell me
Speaker 1: that Derrick Henry can't get you five yards in three runs.
Speaker 1: You tell me he can't get you two yards and
Speaker 1: two runs. No way. So I don't want him abused,
Speaker 1: but I want him used more often. Now. Play action,
Speaker 1: I think, is another thing. You know, when they'll hit
Speaker 1: the line once or twice early in the game with Henry,
Speaker 1: and then here they come with the fun and gun,
Speaker 1: you know, five wide, no empty backfield, and I just go,
Speaker 1: oh no, Now, everybody knows what you're gonna do. But
Speaker 1: when he's back there, and you know, I love Tanny Hill,
Speaker 1: but sometimes that fake to Derek Hanny ain't much of
Speaker 1: a fake. It's kind of like they're going to pokes
Speaker 1: them all, like somewhere in the general six feet from
Speaker 1: Henry and then goes back to throw. But when he
Speaker 1: puts it in his gut and pulls it back out,
Speaker 1: that whole defense has suckered because they have to be
Speaker 1: because there's snake bit you know, even before they we've
Speaker 1: played a team. There's snake bits from watching him, and
Speaker 1: that's that's a that's a great place to put a
Speaker 1: defense in. Is he a legitimate MVP candidate in your opinion? David,
Speaker 1: he is? He is. You know, it's gonna be tough
Speaker 1: with Mahomes and and uh and u Bien Raethinsburger having
Speaker 1: the kind of year they're having. But he's so much
Speaker 1: more instrumental in the Titans success than other running backs
Speaker 1: or any position to that matter. And I think he
Speaker 1: is a legitimate candidate. And it means to be seen
Speaker 1: what happens the rest of the season. But if he
Speaker 1: keeps going like it's going now, yeah, he'd have my vote.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you a movie question about him, Eddie,
Speaker 1: were just gone to Hollywood and done some things. Do
Speaker 1: you think Derrick Henry might have some sort of career
Speaker 1: in him? Good, good looking guy, big guy, well known guy.
Speaker 1: Would they stick him in a in an action movie somewhere? Well,
Speaker 1: you have to be able to act, so oh that's true,
Speaker 1: and you can't. I mean there are people who just
Speaker 1: can't get a line out. I mean they're just it
Speaker 1: just doesn't work. It's nothing against him it's just they
Speaker 1: don't know how to deliver a line, and that's it
Speaker 1: has nothing to be intelligence either. Trust me, I've never
Speaker 1: met a football player that didn't want to be an actor,
Speaker 1: and I've never met an actor that didn't want to
Speaker 1: be a football player. But it doesn't mean we can
Speaker 1: do it. I noticed in the questions you sent me
Speaker 1: you mentioned JJ Watt. You know he was great on SNL. Oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: he was a good actor on SNL and I thought, man,
Speaker 1: I wish I had a way to send him a message,
Speaker 1: you know, saying you were really good and this is
Speaker 1: something you should consider, you know. I want to say
Speaker 1: that to him. Oh, I've got the Duncan reader here.
Speaker 1: Don't I talk about delivering a line. I'm sorry, I'm
Speaker 1: not delivering a line very well. Hey, Titans fans get

Speaker 1: run on Duncan participation by very limited time off for
Speaker 1: exclusions apply, David, I want to ask you about wide
Speaker 1: receiver A. J. Brown. Who does he remind you of?
Speaker 1: You know, I thought and thought about that because I
Speaker 1: was searching the NFL, and you know, Calvin Johnson is
Speaker 1: six five. I mean he was kind of he in
Speaker 1: laa fitzgeral Well the first one that comes to mind
Speaker 1: because of how thick and strong he is. I didn't
Speaker 1: realize he was only sixty one. That really surprised me.
Speaker 1: I thought he was at least sixty three. But he's
Speaker 1: what two twenty two, twenty five. He's a powerful guy
Speaker 1: and he could play running back. But I tell you,
Speaker 1: I came up with a name, and it came from
Speaker 1: that touchdown run that tied the game against the Baltimore
Speaker 1: Ravens when he broke four tackles and drove that safety
Speaker 1: into the end zone. He looked like Juwan Jennings the
Speaker 1: Tennessee Vall. That's what Juwan did on a daily basis,
Speaker 1: And I hope he'll do it for the forty nine
Speaker 1: ers one day that he's on the practice squad now.
Speaker 1: But he didn't have the speed that AJ has, but
Speaker 1: that power, the lower body power. David, what's your theory
Speaker 1: about why the Ryan Tannehill thing has worked so well
Speaker 1: in Nashville after it did not work out for him
Speaker 1: as well in Miami? You know, that is the question
Speaker 1: of the day. I mean, he's a great quarterback. Who
Speaker 1: knew He's so cool in the pocket, he reads the
Speaker 1: defense is extraordinarily well. He's got a very good arm,
Speaker 1: he's mobile. But you know, I gotta say, when you
Speaker 1: got Derek Henry in the backfield, takes a little of
Speaker 1: pressure off of you. They didn't have anybody like that.
Speaker 1: That's true. It always goes back to Derrick Henry with you,
Speaker 1: Desnan Well, I mean truth, but yeah, it's not wrong.
Speaker 1: I love your consistency. That's what makes me so happy. Hey,
Speaker 1: when it comes to your healthcare coverage, you should be
Speaker 1: the one to make the call. So call farm Bureau
Speaker 1: of Health Plans. They've been protecting Tennessee and since nineteen
Speaker 1: forty seven, David, who jumps out to you on the
Speaker 1: Titans defense? Do you watch outside of the ball, or
Speaker 1: just Derrick Henry. No, no, no, of course not if
Speaker 1: they put it on. If he'd be a hell linebacker. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta say Harold Landry because of his tackles for law,
Speaker 1: sacks and so forth. But what jumps out to me
Speaker 1: is the whole defense. This is a bend but don't
Speaker 1: break defense. They can give you a heart attack. They
Speaker 1: make you sick at your stomach, and here they come
Speaker 1: like the cavalry at the end and save the day.
Speaker 1: One of the things that I really love about them
Speaker 1: are these timely interceptions and pass breakups. Man, when we
Speaker 1: when the other team is really rolling, you know that
Speaker 1: an interception or of you know, a third down pass
Speaker 1: breakup is coming. So so I love the way they've
Speaker 1: bended and don't break. I love the way they play together.
Speaker 1: I love Bayed, love Butler, and you know, I think
Speaker 1: they're a unit rather than you know, a couple of
Speaker 1: stars here and there. David Keith is our special guest
Speaker 1: on the OTP presented by Farm Bureau Health Plans David
Speaker 1: Koh Are other NFL teams players that you like watching
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty? Who do you enjoy? I love watching
Speaker 1: Packer Patrick Mahomes and Tyree Hill. I love it, Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 1: It looks like a little schoolyard kid out there having
Speaker 1: the best time in his life and nobody. I'm minded
Speaker 1: me of Condridge Holloway, the way he runs around and
Speaker 1: people can't get to him, and then to make the
Speaker 1: plays and the throws that he can make. And I
Speaker 1: was just just watching. Was it Carlton Davis on the
Speaker 1: you know, I was talking about an intimidating offense and
Speaker 1: how it breaks the spirit of the defense. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you watched the game, but there was a
Speaker 1: shot of Carson Davis sitting on the sidelines hanging his
Speaker 1: head because he'd just been completely and utterly humiliated by
Speaker 1: Tyreek Kill. I hope he didn't hear that and come
Speaker 1: looking for me. I think the two of them are
Speaker 1: amazing to watch. I like watching the Raiders because John
Speaker 1: Ruden and I are been friends for years. I met
Speaker 1: him on the sidelines when he was a graduate assistant.
Speaker 1: Tried to get him to come to Knoxville. I was texting,
Speaker 1: I was wearing his phone out trying to get him
Speaker 1: to come down here and coach the Valls. They didn't
Speaker 1: have the money. I watched the Cowboys, and you know,
Speaker 1: I'm hurting for Charlotte and and and the family who
Speaker 1: I've become friends with, and you know it's They's just
Speaker 1: I don't think they've got the right coach. Well, so
Speaker 1: what are some of your thoughts on the eight and
Speaker 1: three Cleveland Browns. You know, I haven't watched the Browns
Speaker 1: this year at all, but Baker Mayfield at six one,
Speaker 1: I mean, he's the key to stopping him. He's stopping him,
Speaker 1: so you've got to get an immediate push by the defense.
Speaker 1: So he's got that wall in front of him in
Speaker 1: the pocket. If you don't get a quick push, then
Speaker 1: he'll you know, he can throw over you and make
Speaker 1: very accurate good throws. But when he's really troubles when
Speaker 1: he comes out of the pocket, I would say containment
Speaker 1: is as important as a defensive push as a defensive
Speaker 1: pass rush for the Browns. I think that's I think,
Speaker 1: you know, keeping him from running around and making these
Speaker 1: crazy plays Ali Patrick Mahomes, I think that's the key
Speaker 1: to stopping him. David Gleen, are you gonna play football
Speaker 1: coach in a movie? Well? I thought I was going
Speaker 1: to get to get that movie that Matthew mcconnaugh, who
Speaker 1: played the coach in I thought I was going to
Speaker 1: get the other coach to Bobby Bowden role and I
Speaker 1: didn't get the role. But yeah, I'd love to do that.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, that'd be so much fun, so much fun.
Speaker 1: Before you go, Is there any way that being an
Speaker 1: actor you are able to embody a role. And you're
Speaker 1: very familiar with Mike Keith, you know, just as a character. Um,
Speaker 1: could you do a Mike Keith touchdown Titans impersonation? I
Speaker 1: do it all the time on Sundays in my house.
Speaker 1: I think my neighbors can probably hear me from inside literally,
Speaker 1: I mean the screams are ridiculous and now I'm out
Speaker 1: on my back deck, so I know they're going to
Speaker 1: hear that. But touch that Titans. Yeah, that was great.
Speaker 1: That's strong. Good, that was strong. It's in the gene.
Speaker 1: You have to be a Keith. I'm sorry. I understand
Speaker 1: why you demure when when challenge to do that, but
Speaker 1: I still like him. Do it. Dogs are howling the neighborhood.
Speaker 1: What do you have coming up these days? What are
Speaker 1: you into the industry? Of course shut down and uh
Speaker 1: in you know, I was supposed to direct and produce
Speaker 1: a movie and action movie in Atlanta that in April,
Speaker 1: and we moved to May and then um, but then
Speaker 1: we have shelved that and you know, who knows if
Speaker 1: if it's going to ever happen. I mean it was rolled.
Speaker 1: I really wrote the script with the writer, and we
Speaker 1: had a casting director, we had offers out, and you
Speaker 1: know it was we were in pretty pre production and
Speaker 1: now it's just on hold. So every once in a
Speaker 1: while I'll put a scene on tape and don't get it.
Speaker 1: I mean, your career has been amazing. I mean it
Speaker 1: really has been. And for you to be willing to
Speaker 1: make your old cousin look good and take a little
Speaker 1: time and talk some ball with us today, I really
Speaker 1: appreciate it. I know Aby does too, and I know
Speaker 1: all of our listeners to the OTP thrilled to hear
Speaker 1: your insights. And so if Derrick Henry carries the ball
Speaker 1: sixty times on Sunday against Cleveland, David Keith, well we
Speaker 1: had don't kill him. Don't kill him. That's exactly right.
Speaker 1: That's good stuff for David Keith and also for Aby Wells.
Speaker 1: I'm Mike Keith. We Thank you for joining us for
