would you believe that we both still hold athletic records at our high school hey I’m Jessica and this is Coco we’re from Wisconsin let’s talk about that [Music] [Applause] accomplishment no no but you were looking really cool or you try meal makers of amazing musical applications including the magic piano download it now on the iPad iPhone or Android device we’re releasing a music video soon it’s going to have a contest associated with it that you’ll need to play that magic piano so get it link you know what this is it’s a high school basketball jersey it says harness central it actually this is number 23 this is a Kincaid Jones’s jersey he was my teammate is that his number or his jersey both that’s his actual Jersey no I think he’s just his number but I thought it sounded more nostalgic to say that Kincaid Jones was the only guy taller than us six foot nine I would throw in the alley oop they used to say okay so I played basketball in high school we coached we’re actually in coach gauges classroom filming this week and coach gage was my basketball coach he was also our European history teacher he teaches several histories now I don’t know this is a history classroom I feel like I’m learning history now by symbiosis but that’s not even the right was it he did not science so it doesn’t matter he didn’t have my jersey he doesn’t he didn’t like hold on to my jersey although as we’re about to explore him maybe he should have but he gave us he gave me this one too just kind of I guess to where I like to wear Jersey you guys know that our jerseys all tiny-g he gave me a jersey to it’s over there and I said well I feel like I need to try out for something or at least sink a shot before I can wear this thing so what mines over there I don’t I don’t feel worthy to show you that because I well in middle school I kept score for the women’s basketball was your basketball peak that’s how good I was at basketball I kept score for it for the girls version in middle school no offense to you girls who play sports but you know what I’m getting at we it was complicated their sexes mints top and O’s mint stuff and yeah you had to pay a lot of attention like they would score like every seven minutes and you had to like mark it down okay so I get this question a lot from from a lot of old people my age and older cannot resist our unite guy from Twilight no well I get that a lot so you play basketball like so you play basketball like even now yeah like like you play basketball and like I did and I’ll always say I used to I used to yeah I used to a lot and they started asking follow-up questions I go into my whole spiel I was like yeah I mean up until the time I was 18 like basketball was like my life I thought I was going to play college basketball I was being recruited by people and we we had long conversations because we’ve been best friends forever and we knew we wanted to go to school together and we knew at one point that we wanted to work together after school and we wanted to mate to make that happen but we took a blood oath we took a blood oath you know about that in middle school so how is this blood oath gonna make it through my college basketball gonna take a scholarship somewhere that was probably gonna dictate where I went to college and keep score right for the Women’s Day yeah yeah cuz you were good at that I mean it’s easy to meet the ladies yes and so but anyway is all that to say that I played a lot of basketball and I had really hit my peak I I did not end up playing in college decided not to do that I’m glad I decided not to do that in retrospect however when I was here at harness central as link alluded to before I set a record now being a 6-7 guy you might second tallest guy on the team of five people there’s five people right on the go I was a tall man but I hold the single-season record my senior year I hit 77 three-pointers we went on to the second or third round of the state championship and in lost we actually got beat by the team that went on to win the state champions I thought Brooks broke your record Brooks did not Brooks is a much better player friend of mine who’s now assistant coach at unc-wilmington Brooks Lee was a better player than me but he scored in other ways all I did was wait for them to pass me the ball and issue two three I remember watching you guys play I wasn’t keen to school for the men’s I was just watching yeah and you would come down and it would be near your bench like what past the three-point line would be the bench right where the players who weren’t playing were sitting and I would like mingle over there you’d be like drinking water and talking to him and waiting for a pass just to shoot at three you would not run in the offense there all right well go in the paint a little bit I didn’t go into the paint much because King K was their number 23 but I said over there it was just like double dribble you know remember the old double dribble game double dribble and there’s that little sweet spot on the elbow I would just get into the double dribble spot and I hit 77 it is a it is the harness central high school record I don’t know how many I shot it was pretty high percentage but I made seventy seven three-pointers hold the record of this day I challenge you harness Central High School basketball players to break my record I did it is there anything in here that commemorates that I there should be I need proof of this go to the Nationals go to the annals of coach cages mafia it sounds a little weird I don’t want to go there I don’t want to visit but you know I myself have my own bragging rights if you’re doing the area of sports ‘dom I was skilled at the world’s most popular sport football yes or here in America soccer soccer because I never wear pads to do anything we had shudder yeoman what what you had neap your hedge shin pads carlos they’re not called pads they’re called guard Shin shin pads no but I don’t wear any kind of pad and didn’t you or shoulder pads and your jersey you know in my Blazers when I when I dressed up nice yes hand-me-downs for my mom you know I didn’t wear pads of any kind your mom had like a big blue blazer that was white Helvey a very v-shape with lard like Chaka Khan style stuff yes because she was high fashion she also watches this I love you mom did it crack on my mom’s fashion actually her husband watches it and tells her things that was happening yeah hi Luis he’s telling her now and I have to live there for the next couple nights I don’t want you to cross ok sorry sue we love your shoulder pads bring that style back anyway I wore shin guards and I played soccer and I was I was pretty decent but I was I was a stopper well no what is that that’s like a defensive position in the middle of the field like a midfielder that is more offensive than offensive I wasn’t being an office but coach Brandel pulled me aside when he said I need to put you on the wing now I knew that the wing had to run a whole lot more and I got winded pretty easily so I was nervous about that but he puts me at the winger position the right wing and it was a home game that and I remember it because I what I would do is I would come to the games and I would in I’ve League or no I didn’t keep score I would get all of our friends to cheer for you and are you exclusively and so and you were on the bench some of the time but this was I think it’s a senior year so you were out there new year new year as a junior and we would anoxia sleet cheer for you like because it was so quiet it was soccer people don’t really cheer for soccer that’s supposed to me but we would because it’s just kind of it’s not the kind of sport that she’s like cheer for a whole lot this is the oscillation in America I think we would like be up there and we’d be yelling out your name and yelling things at you and telling not to put you in and I would feed off of that yeah and I would you know I would have bursts I remember this night when they put you up in a position to score we were all very excited and I remember let’s say I remember the second one I’m trying to remember that okay I remember the first one mm-hmm the first goal I scored in the game it was I was running up and I was really winded and when you get really winded you lose just control of your faculties I was I was peeing on myself I was head no I wasn’t but you know your legs turn to jelly and you kick reg you really can’t control yourself and I remember I was running and they kicked the ball up to the forwards and it missed it missed the forward who was Josh young and he’s running after and it was just him in the goalie and then the goalie goes and there’s a scramble and the ball pops out and I’m run I’m never going to get there I’m never going to get there and then the ball popped down to the perfect time and I literally ran the ball into the doll you just it was it wasn’t like you stole the ball it was like you just ran and it ended up hitting your left foot is the one that knocks it in and we went ballistic and I turn around and I was standing in the net like I had hit it with my left foot and I’d walked into the net with it and it was just like trying to catch my breath you scored go wait male with a goal then in rush and I remember just running and doing that thing when you slide on your knees well I didn’t do that I do remember I thought about taking my shirt off well I do remember after you scored it was like I saw you in a lie I’ve never seen you in because you haven’t let’s just be honest you’re a scorekeeper you haven’t been the most successful in sports so you didn’t exactly know how to act after a great accomplishment no no but you were looking really cool are you trying to omit really he likes you like slow down a little bit yeah and you kind of ran around and that was when we all quit no no that was hearing and started laughing that was the second go over the first goal I went ballistic and then the second goal it was a so this is second half of the game I don’t think they’re recorders to house good I knew that they were doing a corner kick it’s when the kick comes from the corner I know about this too and the ball was coming at me and you’re supposed to jump up and hit it with your head into the goal and score and I tried to do that but my legs were still jelly so I didn’t get up that high and in my the ball was coming down and it was gonna miss my head and I’m not gonna chest it in you know that’s then summer and I just put my left foot out again I’m right foot it put my left foot out again and made impeccable contact I it was anything it was awesome it was awesome anything except a bicycle kick would not would have paled in comparison and it was boom perfect contact with this foot right here this left foot of mine right into the goal sing and I turn around and I realized I can’t I can’t look like a total idiot like a turkey running around like I do for the last go I got to act like I’m meant to do this one that’s what you started doing and then I just use the strutting I look more like a chicken and we could not believe it two goals in a row now and I think that’s a record two goals with the with the off foot of a soccer player that time frame who’s never by a person who hasn’t played that position before you hold that record is unofficial you know what and someone who after that day never scored a goal the rest of his career or life as a human being now that was it two goals in one game never a goal before or ever a goal after beat that Harnett central soccer players at this time in your life with that before we end this episode I have to say a very funny related thing is that my dad my father ended up later in the season actually your senior year yeah ended up being the announcer the cut the color commentary well actually he was just supposed to announce people hang-ups coming in and he was Bozek go by link Neal well his left foot buy your raffle ticket blah blah blah that’s all he was supposed to put my dad I get a lot of the way that I am from my dad and he could not resist being up there and having a microphone so what ended up happening this is the time went on SNL Rob Schneider was doing that thing in the copy room where you would come in there can copy and he would say your name like link so link inator um well my dad thought that it would be a good idea to on the loudspeaker at the soccer games to call link out like that first thing he would do is if link was on the bench he would say all right why don’t we get link in there let’s put link in the game this is the announcer the official announcer which is my dad coaches love that yeah he’s like let’s put link in the game and then they would put link in the game everybody would cheer in our section and so I’d be throwing the ball in pilla oh the link inator throwing in the soccer boy even when you were out there laverna nor anybody there goes link look at him go he’s commenting on you and you own my dad and they fired him they they let him announce for a few games and then they were just like should we just tell him he
