>> Jonathan: Bonus week here on chasing birdies. These guys tuning in

today. We appreciate it very much. And, we got an

episode filling in this weekend on Thursday. Not our typical

week, but we're happy to be here with you all

listening today. And pep, my man. It's like I haven't seen

you forever. I'm being sarcastic. I'm being

fucking sarcastic.

>> RB: You're being very sarcastic.

>> Jonathan: Yes, I am.

>> RB: I feel like we're seeing each other more and more.

>> Jonathan: It's insane.

>> RB: Dude, what's that hoodie you got on?

>> Jonathan: pronghorn. Hank Ashworth,

yardage company speaking, of hoodies, dude,

freaking frost is lighten it up

nowadays. I mean, as we inch closer.

>> RB: Uh-huh.

>> Jonathan: To winter.

>> RB: Yeah. And as always, I mean.

Today's episode is brought to you by redvamily. Make sure you go

to redvamily.com. our boys,

Jim, Dan, Andrew

hooked us up and, for the fall,

man. And I'm feeling good. I'm feeling good. I'm

looking good. Corduroy pants.

The pool ons, like you mentioned in the last episode,

my hands on, on a pair of those, they're like sweatpants, which is a little

scary. So I'll be wearing those to bed. I'll be wearing corduroy

pants to bed, boys. some new, fresh hoodies they sent

and some, of course, some of the new polos. So we're

dialed in for the fall and, our January

golf trip.

>> Jonathan: So we're dowed in, buddy. We're dowding,

and we're inching closer to the end

of golf season. But as always here,

with it being football season, we'd like to recap a little bit

here.

>> RB: And, a lot's changed since last Saturday, bud.

>> Jonathan: Yeah, it's been. There was a fun weekend of watching.

>> RB: Football two Saturdays ago, I guess, when we had

success.

>> Jonathan: Yeah. Correct. College football, NFL, the full

slate. Hockey's back in the mix. But, it was not

that great of a weekend until, let's

just call it the fourth quarter on Sunday when the 04:00

games ended. But for you and I on

Saturday, it was just not. It wasn't great.

I was surprised. Ohio State and Oregon. I

really thought. I don't. I'm not a Buckeyes fan, but I just

thought that game would have been a little bit more out of reach for Oregon,

per se. But how is that?

>> RB: They're talking about the play that that coach did. He

took the five yard penalty with throwing a, 12th man

on. I mean, that's. That's some

huh? You gotta know your

stuff.

>> Jonathan: And here's an interesting one. Army and Navy are both

ranked inside the top 25 headed into this weekend. That's the first

time they've together been ranked since

1960.

>> RB: And Pitt went 60.

>> Jonathan: Pitt, 60.

>> RB: And then you went to the Mountaineers game on

Saturday. A little tough go for the boys.

It was tough to watch and. But, I'll tell you what, they

look pretty fresh in those unis.

>> Jonathan: The black coal rush unis were looking good.

>> RB: And did you see the coal miners walking into the game? Yeah, I had

the, I had the laugh because they were all walking up, like, where the

players walk up and there was not one coal

miner didn't have a Michelob ultra in his hand.

>> Jonathan: Yeah, that or bud light. I know. It

was, it was electric. The environment was great. But, the outcome

was awful. And it's tough,

dude. So basically, now it's, it's,

you got three losses. Yeah, there's not much to say

about it. There's really nothing to talk about in that regard with West Virginia

football.

>> RB: Yeah, Saturday was a debacle for us. I mean,

you might as well have closed our eyes and picked games, which, we

might start doing. Sunday, though. you

know, I fell asleep for the 04:00 games. I took a little cat

nap at 345, missed the games to put my. I.

But you had a nice little run and then the Steelers

got back on track.

>> Jonathan: Yeah, but did they really?

>> RB: Did they really? Because, you know, like, you can't, Oakland

sucks, dude.

>> Jonathan: I mean, well, first off, it's Vegas, but anyways, yes, to

your point. Yeah, but, it's

not, it wasn't a

dominating win. Granted. they

won, but it's still funny. I was thinking when they

recovered that fumble, like, down on the

goal line, nine yard line, I'm like, well,

there's probably a great chance here they're just going to settle for a field

goal. I mean, there, it's first and goal from the nine. And, you

know, right then and there when you're, when you're watching that game,

that there's a 10% chance they score a touchdown

here. And they didn't, they kicked the field goal.

So that won't fly against the

Baltimore Ravens in our division. That won't

fly against playing the chiefs of later on in

the year. So there's. Other than the win, which

a win's a win. It wasn't in impressive

fashion, I'll tell you.

>> RB: I'll tell you this much. I think they

had three delay a game

penalties on their

offense. That is

pure. And I'm not that big of a f. I don't know that

much about football, but that is pure being

unprepared.

>> Jonathan: Oh, yeah. Yeah. They look aloof. There's

no two ways about it. but Detroit

absolutely waxed Dallas.

>> RB: Did you see Hutchinson's?

>> Jonathan: I didn't see it. I saw it.

>> RB: I watched it. I watched it.

I might reach out to him and give him a few pointers on some pointers,

what to do and how to get through it.

>> Jonathan: Boys, that was a game I was sitting, looking at and

going, okay, Dallas at home, plus three and a half.

I mean, I was like, I need. I think. I think

Dallas, you know, but I went against what I

thought, which is probably good, and that's why I chose

Detroit. Get on the right side of the coin flip there.

But I would have been so mad had I really

actually taken Dallas, because they looked like they were

asleep. I watched that game, too. They

looked like they were just sleeping out there.

But Sunday was all

about fun. We got to play a little g up at

Nemekolan. I tell you what, dude, the wind

was. It was blowing 35,

40. you played pretty good. I did not play

pretty good, but, you know,

I still feel like, yeah, fall

golf is where it's at.

>> RB: I'll tell you, it was. Even though it was gusting, it was a

beautiful day. had some friends of

yours, play with us, and that was fun,

to. To meet them and. Yeah,

I mean, if the wind was 15 miles an hour, it would have

been a ten out of ten day. Now it

was an eight out of ten day because of it. I mean, your hat,

but I almost threw that thing in the lake.

>> Jonathan: Yeah.

>> RB: I'm not exaggerating. That thing fell off four times because of the

wind in the first five holes. Yeah, put the old ponytail

in.

>> Jonathan: Yeah, put the ponytail high. Pony, pulled it through the back of the

cap, and we were good to go. But, yeah, it was

fun overall weekend. We're getting ready to kick it off again this

weekend here, guys. But before we do so,

let's get into the important aspect of today, aside from pep

and I just talking. It's our guest today, Brian Mitchell,

former Washington Redskin

commanders, whatever you still want to call them,

NFL player, but involved in a lot of charitable work

right now, especially on the aspect of

motivational speaking, working as a broadcaster,

empowering women in

businesses, and has been

involved in a plethora of golf tournaments. And as

you listen, you understand he is frankly, a

golf addict. He's played pretty much a lot of the spots

around here, places across the country, but,

I think he got called in as a QB back in the

day in what was called the body bag game. I read

that fact about him because he was like the third QB

emergency quarterback at that time. Set two NFL

records with kick return punt returns.

>> RB: He still has uncle, doesn't. He?

>> Jonathan: Has him. Yeah. Yeah.

>> RB: So that's kind of nice.

>> Jonathan: So let's go on and get this thing kicking

here with Brian Mitchell here

on chasing birdies.

All right, you guys out there tuning in today to chase and

birdies, we are joined by a special guest, Brian

Mitchell, former NFL running back and now

doing a lot of charitable work in his life and

endeavors and whatnot. So he's chasing birdies in life. Brian,

be Mitch, as James said, great to have you on the show, and thanks

for joining us.

>> Brian Mitchell: I appreciate it. Thanks for having me on.

>> Jonathan: Well, I gotta say something quickly here. Cause you took your hat off. You had

the commander's hat on.

>> Brian Mitchell: Oh, yeah.

>> Jonathan: You know, and I know that's where you kind of played and whatnot, but,

the boys are looking good this year.

>> Brian Mitchell: They are. They are. You know, and I expected

this team to come out and set a great foundation. I didn't. I did

not expect them to be playing so well so soon,

but, I will accept it. Cause I've cheered a lot of years where they

were very good. And right now it seems to be this

coaching staff have these guys working, and jaden daniels

is playing unbelievable. As a rookie quarterback, he draws

some amazing things.

>> RB: It's fun to watch because, you know, I would put like, we're

in Pittsburgh, so we're Steelers fans, and, we've

had some success. We have a. We've had a lot more success

than negative things go on

in Pittsburgh Steelers organization. But you look at, like, the

Cleveland Browns, the washington, I guess, the redskins, or the

commanders. so whenever you have these kind of

successes, it's fun to watch. And this jaden daniels, like you

mentioned, man, it's, it's a blast. I'm not

a fan of, of the commanders, but it's a blast to watch.

It.

>> Brian Mitchell: It is. You know, and me, I'm 56 years old

now, and, I laugh when I call kids. I call

the guys on the team kids, you know, in their twenties and

thirties and things like that. But ultimately, I

got here as a, 21, 22 year old

and played with some unbelievable guys, you know, Daryl Green and

Art monk. And you know, Ernest Byron, guys like

that, you know, I I know what

success is in this area. We won the Super bowl,

you know, saying, and I know fans

are, and it's been since 1992, they

haven't been to something like that and consistently going to the

playoff that hadn't had or, hadn't happened either. So just

see him playing well and seeing this, you could,

you see him like they just, they want to erupt, but

a lot of people are still, you know, they are, got

PTSD. They worried about the last 20 plus

years and, but, but ultimately, when

you get guys like Jayden Daniels on your team, you get guys like a

Frankie Louvre on your team or Austin Eckler, you

know, and Bobby Wagner. Those guys

that, they, they just work, you know,

they understand if I put in work, something may come at the

end. They're not thinking about what's going to come at the end. They

go do what they need to do right now. And I always tell people, I read

this book called the president, if I'm a worrying about yesterday or

tomorrow, I will not be interested on doing what I need to do

today to make sure I don't live the same things I

did the past. I think that's exactly what those guys do.

And, I'm happy, you know, it makes me feel good

to now be able to go around. When somebody says something about the commanders,

I can speak up instead of cowering to the side because it

wasn't doing very well.

>> RB: So let me, let me ask you, because, again,

you just said the kids, and they're not kids, but

I'm going to call you an old timer. You're not really an old timer, but

I'm going to call you an old timer. So, as an old

timer. And, you know, we got some stuff

going on in Pittsburgh right now with the wide receiver

and Pickens. I don't think that kind of stuff would fly back in

the day with a lot of you guys, right? Because it wasn't about me,

me. It was about

us as a team. How did you guys handle those

personalities, if there were even those personalities back in the day?

>> Brian Mitchell: Well, they had personalities back in the day. You know, listen, man,

they had a lot of guys on the washington Redskins at the time

that were those type of guys. But, you know, the

veteran guys basically ran the football team. And I

think, in pittsburgh, you got a coach who

doesn't take much b's. And I think the

ultimate thing today is that, you know,

people are so concerned with the

stars and you know, how much

money they're paying people. I think ownership

messes up football today

because back in the day, you, when the coach got

you, that was the final say, you know what I

mean? And your job is to play football today.

I think guys care more about other stuff than they do playing

football. And, you know, we

call it the kangaroo court. If

you got online, the veteran guys got you in

line. And I quickly realized that with the guys,

and I became one of those type guys in my 3rd, 4th

year, because when you become a leader of the team,

they want you to help lead the team. You know,

a lot of coaches today are afraid to let players lead the

team because coaches are so worried about getting the

credit for everything. And.

>> RB: Yeah, you know, with college nowadays,

I think these, these guys are so focused on

their brand instead

of, you know, actually focusing on.

On the football. And I think that's, that's what has a lot to do with it as

well, because they're so concerned about their brand. Yeah.

Somebody in Pittsburgh, I was. I, left town today

and I was listening to radio and they were talking about Pickens and

would this fly when James Ferrier,

Casey Hampton, Jerome Bettis, Ben

Roethlisberger, Hines Ward, the names go

on. Would this last in there?

>> Brian Mitchell: And they say, kevin Green, I take you farther back.

>> RB: They said James Harrison would just need one afternoon with this guy and

he would never act like that again.

>> Brian Mitchell: But, you know, a lot of receivers, that's their

mindset. And I think when, when the

guy can be like, Gary Clark was fiery,

but Gary Clark was always a team player. Some of

these guys get fiery and they get a little selfish.

you know, you all dealt with it with, abb.

Yeah. Antonio Brown. He was. He started

off all world, it seemed, about the team, and then all of a

sudden, he just flipped and became like, it's about him.

But the thing, I was a quarterback in high school, in college, and I

understand I was nothing without the rest

of the guys on my offense, my officer line on block, I don't have

much time. My receivers don't catch. I'm throwing the ball

to the ground. And if I didn't have guys running backs

being able to do their job, to take pressure off me, it was

nothing. And then I get to the league and I'm a return man.

I needed them to help me. And I think once you

think like that and you give credit to those guys,

they'll go to the end of the world for you. And a lot of

guys don't understand that.

>> RB: I always say, were you a punt returner or kickoff?

>> Brian Mitchell: Me? I was. I was a football player. I did both of them, though.

>> RB: You did? I gotta be honest, I like,

I'd be so scared on a punt return, you're

looking straight up in the air and

this ball's coming in there. The defenders are coming at you a million

miles an hour, boys, but they.

>> Brian Mitchell: Can'T hit me until I catch the ball.

And once I catch the ball and I see them, they gotta worry about me more than

I gotta worry about.

>> Jonathan: No, that's. It is true, though. I mean,

just, you know, in our era right now, with what

you mentioned earlier about how these

guys aren't totally

focused on what they're doing. This is their career, this is

their livelihood, this is their job at the end of the day,

and they kind of make it out like, you know, and I get it. They

are celebrity. They have celebrity status to a degree, but,

yeah, Juju Smith Schuster, several years ago, I mean, he was worried

about his TikTok channel and playing video games and all that

jazz, and it's like, brother, man, let's just play some football,

man.

>> Brian Mitchell: You know, it hasn't changed. You know, it's still

about putting in work, working hard.

Like, I remember 19,

91, we on our Super bowl run,

and Monty Coleman stated, he said, listen, man, this is the

time you got to sacrifice. He say, do

everything you can just for the team. You win this

game, you'll live on this the rest of your life.

That was 1991. It is

2024. People

still treat me well and discuss

that game winning that season. Many people

believe the best Super bowl team ever

because we all focused on that. We cared about each other.

I think guys don't understand, and in this day and age, let's be

real, a lot of players in the league, they make

money just because they make money. They think they've

arrived just like, you know, all these people that, oh, I got

a million followers, 999,000 of them don't like

you, so who cares? You know, the ultimate thing

is still, you gotta be out there working for the

team. This is a team sport. It's not an individual sport, you

know, and Jayden Daniels, a young guy on his team, this

guy is coming in four something in the morning. When you

see a rookie doing something like that and your star

quarterback, second round, second pick of the first

round, when that guy does the rest of the guys fall in

line.

>> RB: I saw that about him getting in there at 04:00 a.m. does,

his film, it does his stretches before anybody gets there.

>> Jonathan: Yeah, that's when the work gets put in. Have you had any,

any interactions with him?

>> Brian Mitchell: Yes. I mean, and listen

straight down the earth, you know, has no ego

or no qualms about all the guy wants to do is play football and win.

>> Jonathan: That's right.

>> Brian Mitchell: I saw a quote where he said, I don't talk trash, I just smile and

laugh. If you watch him, he's always smiling, laughing.

And what happens with that? You see him playing, he's

enjoying himself as a teammate. You want to enjoy

yourself as a fan. You begin to like him and you want to enjoy,

you want, you want him to do well. That's the same way I

feel. My best friend lives in Louisiana, where I'm

from. He's like, man, when this guy, Jaden

Davis get up there, you're going to be, you're going to be impressed.

And everything he's told me, I've been more

than impressed, even more than what he said, because the kid just

wants to play ball, wants to go out there and be

great. And many people want to be great, but they don't want to put the

work in to be there.

>> Jonathan: Well, the one, you're right, the work aspect is

something. But I will say, you know, within the last couple

of years in my mind, and you can

correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe that there's

been a rookie quarterback that has had

an impact on a team like Jaden Daniels had.

>> Brian Mitchell: I mean, last year, CJ Stroud.

>> Jonathan: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

>> Brian Mitchell: But it didn't start off very fast. But like

this right here, Mandy, listen, five

weeks for rookie of the weeks.

>> Jonathan: Yeah.

>> Brian Mitchell: Ah, he's doing stuff that hadn't been done

before and, you know, we don't know where it's going

to end up, but I will go out on the limb and

say, knowing how he works, knowing the person,

you know, and knowing how his upbringing is, I

talked with TJ Husada, who grew up in the area

where he's from. He was praising the kid, you

know, and I watch how his dad and his mom,

you just watch him and you know that he, he's been raised right, you

know what I mean?

>> Jonathan: Yeah.

>> Brian Mitchell: so I think that that's the great thing where

we've had some guys coming here at quarterback that cared

about them and didn't care about the team. He cares

about the team. Yeah. He wants to be great, but you know what? He does everything

you need to do with the team not by himself.

And we know. We've seen quarterbacks do that.

>> Jonathan: Yeah, no, that's. That's good. I'm happy for y'all, and I

know just anytime you get your

sports team kind of headed in the right direction, it

obviously makes the whole, you know, your

whole town, your whole city, whatever. It's just a lot of

fun.

So, for you, after the NFL, what did you find

yourself getting into? I mean, transitioning

from playing the sport that you loved

to now real life,

you, know, what was that transition like for you?

>> Brian Mitchell: You know, it wasn't terrible. I had major in chemical

engineering and business, and, I'm happy as hell I never worked in

that.

Radio and tv. I did it on. I did

Monday night show, radio, and

every Sunday during the season, I would go into the

tv station, do 15 minutes on the news, and then when

I left the game, I ended up doing the same thing. That's what I'm

doing now. I do radio. I do tv.

I do a lot of speaking engagement and things

like that. But I wanted to stay close to this sport,

you know what I'm saying? When I came out of high school,

I told my teacher I wanted to major in,

journalism, broadcast, things like that. She said, oh, no,

you're going to major in engineering. Because I was great in

math and science. I went. I did it, you

know, because my brother was an engineer. But once I got

to the league, and I would hear people discussing football

in such a negative way, and I wanted to have a voice, and

I guess this is my calling because this is what I first wanted to do.

>> RB: I think that's, you know, with this show, we've

had it for about three plus years, and you talk to a lot of

ex athletes, baseball, hockey.

A lot of them are involved in their sport in

some capacity still, because it's. It makes you feel like you're

still part of the game. Yeah, you're retired, and.

But. But for you, let's just say you go to the commanders

field every Sunday. You feel like, man, I'm putting

my nice suit on, and I'm gonna go down and I'm gonna call the game or

whatever. You feel like you're in the game still. And that's.

That's exciting for you still.

>> Brian Mitchell: It is. It is, you know, and, this. It was a time in

this. It was a time in this area where a

lot of veteran players and former players were not allowed

to be a part of it, you know? And ever since, they've hired,

Dan Quinn and Adam Peterson's come in. They

have invited the old guys back

in, you know, and a lot of guys are working in the media

stuff, doing content. A lot of people are coming in and

speaking to them. And it does make you feel good because when you

help build something, you know, if I'm in my basement right now, you look

around here, it's a lot of stuff where I put some work in to

help this team go where it went. And it's

disappointing when you're not allowed to be a part of it now

with the new ownership and all, we are allowed to be a part of

it. And, anything I can, you know, I

will do to make sure this team can get back to where it was.

>> RB: So are you working for the organization or do you have

your own?

>> Brian Mitchell: Okay, well, I have my own radio show, but then I do,

I do pre and post game stuff for the, team on the

weekend, so go on the road with them and things like that,

and, you know, get a chance to, you know how I'm now

with some of the guys on the female. One of the guys grew up in my

hometown, went to my college, and he's now with his team. So that's a

hell of a, you know, similarity right

there.

>> Jonathan: That is. Well, I know that we'll be crossing

paths this year at some point. Nothing physically, but

at least with our teams, because I know, you know, the Steelers will face

off against the commanders at some point later in the season, I believe, playing the

NFC east, but I don't know if it's away or if it's a home game. I don't

know.

>> Brian Mitchell: I can't remember. I try to go one game at a time, like, I'm still

playing.

>> Jonathan: Present moment, baby.

>> Brian Mitchell: Yes.

>> Jonathan: That's what it's all about. So you're in. Are you in DC now? I

know you said you're from Louisiana originally.

>> Brian Mitchell: I'm in Virginia. I live, I live, right outside of DC. So right here in

Virginia, about 15 miles from the facility where they practice

it.

>> Jonathan: So with you now, you know, kind of in this

afterlife of not playing professionally, but you're still

obviously relevant in that scene and whatnot. you have

a, love, or a passion for the game of

golf at all. You ever get out with some of the guys and play?

>> Brian Mitchell: I'm out playing golf a lot. My two passions are playing

golf and, riding bicycles. And I will tell you

why I got. So my mom and dad taught me to be a

giver, you know, and work with charity, because, you know,

hell, I look at my life growing up. Yes,

I wanted to be somebody. I never can imagine the things that I've gone

through. And, ever since I made it, I can remember my dad

said, when you're blessed, you should be a blessing. So now

I play golf a lot, because you can

also have fun in a tournament and raise

money for great causes. I ride bicycles. I've

learned I can ride a bicycle 110

miles that we raised in this one thing this early this

year, over 800 grand. We did another 109.

Mara raised over 400 grand for another charity.

So this is, what I like to do. I can

have fun, get myself in shape while

doing something positive for somebody that needs it.

>> RB: We had another ex NFL football

player. he bicycle rides so

that he can drink doctor pepper and eat chick fil a. And that was Brian

Erlacher. So,

Brian Erlacher, he rides his bike all the time. That's what he said.

He said, I basically ride my mountain bike so I can drink doctor

pepper and eat chick fil a all I want.

>> Brian Mitchell: Well, I actually will ride from my house to, royal

farms. It's about a 15 miles ride to royal

farms. Give me a like for a piece of chicken, and I ride

back home.

But it's fun, you know, it's. It's a, sport. Both of

these sports are sports you can do the rest

of your life. You know, I ride with guys in their sixties and

seventies. I play golf with guys seventies, eighties, and nineties.

You know, some of the guys in seventies still shoot their age as

well, but you could do it the rest of your life, and it doesn't

have a lot of impact on you. So I miss two

sports I've settled on. I'm gonna keep playing them because I've been

hit enough.

>> Jonathan: Yeah, yeah. So

the. The charity aspect, and let me

interject here, because Pep's dad

is 70 and 70,

71. And he's played

260 rounds of golf last year.

He plays golf every day. And he shot his age

recently.

>> RB: He broke his age. I think he broke his age twice last

year.

>> Brian Mitchell: See, that's what I want to do. That's what I'm trying to get. But at

56, I don't think I can get it done.

>> RB: Hey, man, that's a hell of a. Wow, that's a hell of

a round. If you do that, you let us know.

>> Brian Mitchell: I would set a world record right there, buddy.

>> Jonathan: Yeah, 55. but no.

So the charitable aspect of things, it's interesting you bring that

up, because, my lady recently has got involved

with WVU Medicine Children's hospital.

And, you know, she's like, the hospital is

number one. It's the number one rated children's

hospital. The only children's hospital in the state of West

Virginia. Obviously, West Virginia being,

for lack of a better term, a poor state with respect

to a lot of things. this hospital has

provided so many people with resources to be able to come

here, as opposed to going to Pittsburgh for

childcare. And so she

kind of had this, this, idea to get

involved. She wants to do some charity work. So

she comes home from the meeting one day, and she said, you'll never guess what

I'm chairing. And I said, what? And she said,

they want to do a golf tournament to raise money

for the hospital, and they want

me her to

cherishe. And I said, well, that's great. So now the

next question was, how can I help? And I'm like, well, shit, that's a great

question. Cause I've never really done that before.

so, long story short, they have, the hospital

has partnered with, Jack Nicholas foundation,

play yellow, and they have a couple of their

ambassadors involved in that front. But my point to all this

is, when you talk about just golf and what it

does, it's not just, a sport that guys can go out, or

women can go out and play on a weekend and have a few casual drinks,

maybe no drinks at all. There's more to it than

that. It's a bigger game. The impact it has on

people allows us to do things

like what you've done with chair to work and golf

tournaments. But, yeah, so I'm kind of. I'm kind of

teetering on that a little bit. But it's an exciting, exciting thing to kind

of dig in on.

>> Brian Mitchell: If you really think about it, golf is a sport

where you're out there four, four and a half hours. If you're doing a

charity, maybe five and a half, 6 hours,

you have to talk to the person that you're working with, that

you're out there with. And it's a sport where you

could do a lot of, networking, you know.

and what is golf tournament is about networking. You know, you

get people from different backgrounds, like, I'm a sport guy. You get a lot

of business people out there. You get people that actually are, in the business

that you're dealing with, and people that are also charitable

people. You get all those people together, and everybody has a common

cause. I always tell people, the way you do it, you get a great

cause, and you get the right people backing

you. Like you said, jack Nicklaus foundation, you get the right people

backing you. You can't fail, you know, it's a

win win all the way, all the way around. I've done golf

tournaments now for well over. I got here

in 1990. I started playing golf around

96, you know, and I've been doing golf

tournament since then. And I have seen,

I've been involved with golf tournament where we raised $750,000 for

tournament. We raised over a million dollars tournament. Because you have

the right cause and the right business people that want

to have make an impact on society. So it's the

easiest thing in the world.

>> Jonathan: Yeah, no, that's. And again, the

cause for all that is just incredible, you know, to

raise $750,000 for having a

golf tournament, having.

>> RB: A little fun,

smoking a few cigars and raising money.

>> Brian Mitchell: Totally, totally.

>> Jonathan: What course now, when you do an event like that, or

even when you go out where, where, you know, where are you

pegging it up or what? I'm trying to think of the

course outside of Leedsburg. There's a course outside of

Leesburg, Raspberry Falls.

No, it's Lansdowne

River Creek.

>> Brian Mitchell: I know them all.

>> Jonathan: It's a beautiful course, a lot of beautiful homes on it.

It's off this country road. Before you get in Leesburg, kind

of somewhere around there. I played, I want to say there's

the word farms in it, but I don't know if that's

Creighton farms.

>> Brian Mitchell: Yeah, yeah, I've played about 10 miles from my

house. I play that.

>> Jonathan: That is a beautiful track.

>> Brian Mitchell: Yeah. Oh, yeah. And that's a jack nickel

scores.

>> Jonathan: Yeah.

>> RB: So everything.

>> Jonathan: Yeah.

>> RB: Dog leg, right.

>> Brian Mitchell: You got a lot of those other course.

>> Jonathan: Yeah, definitely. That's,

that's a great track.

>> RB: So have you played, burning tree?

>> Brian Mitchell: I haven't played burning tree yet. That's, one of m my bucket lists,

places to go play.

>> RB: I love that logo.

>> Brian Mitchell: Yeah, that's a nice one. A lot of good ones out there,

though.

>> Jonathan: So with your, the pr group that you're working with

or that you're involved with, because I understand through the

communication we received about this and whatnot, that, that

you, and maybe this is not directly you, but you

are putting on another golf event, and this is

with sugar, Ray Leonard's

foundation or something to that effect.

>> Brian Mitchell: Yep. So we're doing a tournament here where we're

basically doing a lot of different things to help empower, working

with women in empowerment to be totally honest with you. And, I've been doing,

tournaments with, as you all know him, as a different name. I call him

Bucky. And also another friend, Marquise, who teamed up with

sugar Ray Leonard junior. And, we've come together to try and

do this tournament. And, it's gonna be at Lakewood country club over there

in Rockville, Maryland. it's. If you want to get more

information, go to lsmcelebrityevents dot

perfectgolf event.com, and, people like

myself. Ah, Sugar Ray Leonard junior. you, got,

Clinton Portis going to be there.

You have Marshall falk. There we go. We got

baseball, too. Johnny Damon. He'll be at the tournament. So

this is about empowering women. And I think, it's on October

21. Listen, man, it's. I do a lot.

Done a lot of tournaments there. They allow you to have

fun, so you got to make the tournament fun. You know,

music playing. You have, all types of, when you show up, we got a

Bloody Mary, bar in the beginning. They treat

you very, very special. So the

ultimate thing is show up for a great cause. Lady

lions of Baltimore and also community bridges of Silver

Spring. I'll be the two charities that can be, getting their

support from this one. So, hell, I say

this, you know, my mom was one of the strongest people in the world for

me. I knew how my dad respected my mom. You know,

with my. My mom spoke, my daddy listened. So

I believe in, like, a lot of people have a problem with

the lady being, in charge or something like that. I believe that everybody should be

empowered. If we empowered ourselves as men, we got to help empower

women, as well.

>> RB: Yeah, I'll tell you what. My ears perked up a little bit to that bloody

Mary Barnab.

>> Brian Mitchell: Oh, yeah. One thing about the golf tournament is that I've been

involved with a lot.

>> RB: Of, libations, so I might mosey on down there. You

guys are gonna be like, who's this guy? What's this guy doing? I'll just

stand at the bloody Mary bar.

>> Brian Mitchell: Hey, man, come on down. I promise you you'll come back again

and you can help us raise more money.

>> Jonathan: Yeah. And if there's a way, you know, obviously

this. Putting this episode out is gonna

get some publicity for the event, but, you know, if there's a way

that we could help out by

sponsoring and, you know, there's a sign put up or something, we'd be happy

to do that, too, Brian, so we can connect on that. you

know, on that point there. But, But, yeah, you

make up. I

always say that we're both, Jonathan and I full time are both in

business. You know, we do this podcast on, quote, unquote, the

side, although it feels like a full time job, but I'm in the oil and gas

business. He's in a jewelry business.

>> Brian Mitchell: Gotcha.

>> Jonathan: so, you know, when you talk about,

especially the cultural shift in terms of

women now, like

the resort that we are partners with

here in southwestern Pennsylvania. Nemacolan resort.

>> Brian Mitchell: Yeah. I play golf there, too.

>> Jonathan: Have you?

>> Brian Mitchell: Yes.

>> RB: It's beautiful courses. Yeah, it's awesome.

>> Brian Mitchell: Where they had the 84 lumber tournament. Late schools. I

played both of those.

>> Jonathan: Yeah. Yeah. Well, and I was just gonna bring up Maggie.

I mean, she is not

only. She is a great person. You know what I mean? In

general, she's just a great person. But you talk about power,

and you talk about determination and the

ability to just continue to, deal with

adversity time and time again.

She is so. I mean, you're

100% right.

The women in the world need to be recognized for the fact that

they are valuable, they are powerful.

>> Brian Mitchell: I just think the whole thing about it. And then, this is where I learn, you

know, I don't care what your race, your creed, your color,

whatever. I don't care what any of that is. If you're given an

opportunity, equal, opportunity to deal with something, I don't

care if it's a man, woman, whatever, you know? But if women

are given the same opportunities as us, they can sit there and compete

with us on a regular basis. You know, a lot of times, they're a little bit more

focused than we are, you know? And I believe in it because, like I tell you,

the people in my life, my mom, my grandmother was

the matriarch of our. Like, that neighborhood I lived on, it

was all one way in, one way out, all family members, and

nobody said nothing unless grandma said it was okay to

happen, you know? So I grew. I've grown up like

that, and I believe in it. I have three daughters myself, and I want

them to understand you could do whatever you want to do, you know, nobody

can tell you what you can't do. You know? go out there and just

try to be your best. And I try to make sure they think like I do. I

was a go getter, and I want them to be the same way.

>> Jonathan: Well, you have a great personality, so, you

know, pivoting off that point, you do some

motivational speaking yes, yes.

>> Brian Mitchell: I spoke with a lot of different places from, you know, data, ah,

bank. I do like the charities. I speak to,

some major businesses around, speaking a lot of, you know,

different seminars and all that they have. And my whole

thing is about a lot of our teamwork and our, self motivation,

because in society today, especially in

business, you don't want to always have to tell somebody, go do

something you want. People that can be self starters,

and that's the best. I think that's the best thing to help me in my

life. When I was. I got to the NFL, being

a former quarterback. When I was handed the playbook, I

didn't wait for them to install the stuff.

I started learning the playbook. So we

got two weeks into, me being up here, and coach

Gibbs said, well, I'm gonna need you to learn stuff because you're gonna be our

emergency quarterback. K quarterback. In college, I'm like,

coach, I got the, I got the office down already. He's like,

what do you mean? I said, well, I went through the whole

playbook. I learned everything. He said, why would you do that? I said,

I'm a quarterback, man. Y'all got me playing just one position now.

That's easy. So I learned the whole thing, what I have to

do, and I was the emergency quarterback. And

that's awesome. By week ten of my rookie season, both

quarterback got hurt. I finished the game at quarterback.

>> RB: Did you?

>> Jonathan: Yes.

>> Brian Mitchell: It's just like being ready for the

situation. I mean, I don't care what you're doing.

Somebody in football, someone, you will get hurt. And

if you're not prepared, that could be your last chance. So you gotta always

be prepared. And definitely in business, the same thing. A lot of

people. I, didn't get a promotion. Well, did you do anything to show

them that you deserve a promotion, right.

>> RB: Or raise or any of that? They just. They just

want. They all want to come out of college and make

$150,000 and be the CEO of dad's

company.

>> Brian Mitchell: Yeah, they want to. They want to be able to. They want to drive

the nice car. They want to be able to go out to the nice dinners,

but you're not putting in the work to be able to have the salary, to be able

to do all that stuff. So, you know, I tell people,

you got to sacrifice a little bit before you start going out there

celebrating.

>> RB: Yeah. Yeah. And I think that. I think whenever you have it, a little

adversity in your life, if you're getting started in the family

business or anything. It's great for you long

term. You've gone through it. You've experienced, the highs,

the lows. It's how you handle a lot of those, too, right? It's

easy to get real high, but when you're real low,

you got to stay even keeled. And that's the same thing in sports, too,

right?

>> Brian Mitchell: Totally, totally. And that's the thing I love. Like, I go back to

Jayden Daniels again, where they like, man,

this letdown game, he said, look, man, I always stay even

killed. So it never let down to me.

He said, I don't get too high. I don't get too low. I stay even

killed. And you, got, if you got that

personality, things are gonna work out. I watched

him, the first interception he threw, the camera

went to his face, and you could see, you know, you just see

the intensity of someone's face. Like,

damn, I knew better. And after

that, he has going on a tear,

dude. So I absolutely love it where

people hate losing more than they

love winning. That changes. That shows you

somebody that's real special.

>> Jonathan: Yeah. And that's one of my favorite quotes, is when

things are going good, it's not really that good. And when things are going

bad, it's not really that bad.

>> Brian Mitchell: There you go. Somebody else has it worse or better than you,

believe me.

>> Jonathan: Yeah. And it's perspective.

>> Brian Mitchell: Yes.

>> Jonathan: And that brings, you know, a point now

to, like, with our youth in today's era. You know,

Jonathan has two young children, and, you know,

I've kind of raised. Not kind of, but my lady

has two young kids. And I do see the

pivotal shift in with respect to technology

being injected on a day to day basis. And

obviously, there's good things about it in some respect with learning.

But, you know, in

our generation, and I'm saying, collectively, you and

pep and I, we didn't have that ability to

come home, pull up YouTube, sit there and watch shorts all

day long, or get on TikTok and watch videos for 3

hours. And I'm. Nor would we want to. We were

outside being creative with our minds, playing in the woods, playing

sports. And nowadays, you got these

kids. Here's, here's the screwed up part, in my opinion. Again,

my opinion, you got these sports that now

are these, these kids that are, that are playing

sports, but they're only playing one sport.

They're getting really good at one sport, whereas

we used to play three or.

>> RB: Four different sports, and they were seasonal, like

hockey. We played hockey. It was October to

March, and then, you know, you played golf

for baseball until June, and then you had

basketball season in the fall. It's just,

I mean, concerned. I'm concerned,

for these kids that are playing one sport.

Baseball, one sport, you know, these kids are playing

baseball year round. I'm watching it.

It was, we have some friends that

are, in the big league or played in the big leagues.

And that's what he said. He said, dude, he said,

travel team at seven, eight years old. It

doesn't matter. That's not how they're going to.

You don't know how good they're going to be till they're 14 years old. Don't burn

them out right now. Let them have fun.

>> Brian Mitchell: I think it's totally ridiculous. I think when you play all the sports,

you develop much better. Your body

begins to find out different things. If you play

only certain sports, you only use certain muscles.

And you watch, like, when I was growing up, no

kid I ever heard that again. Tommy John.

You know, now kids are getting Tommy

John. That's normal, before high school.

And it's a normal thing because they're overworking it, you

know? And let's be real, a lot of the people, that are running all

these different types of things, they're

selfish. They just want to cash in. You

know, my daughters would cheer and dance, and believe me,

oh, my God, money in that boy pay for a lot of damn

college scholarships

already before they ever got to college. Just because.

>> RB: That'S another one that I'm like, this dance

stuff, it's like. And then you,

then you bring it into the self confidence,

because then the social media, these

young kids are posting, well, nobody's liking my

post. I'm not pretty or I'm not good looking.

And it's just like, listen, be who

you are, right? And, I know I had a

friend. I had a friend. I'll read you

the. I'll read you this. What he signed to my

son, my buddy plays professional hockey, and he

signed a jersey to my son for his birthday. And.

And it said, And I thought it was great. It said

to parker, I love watching you grow up. Never

stop being you. I'm

like, that's incredible. Just be

you. And we get so caught up in all this other

stuff.

>> Jonathan: Yeah.

>> Brian Mitchell: See, the whole thing is this my, doc

Walker guy who played for the

rescue before I got here and got, become great friends with

him. He said, why would you go through life trying to

impress people that you don't even know?

You got your mom, your dad, your friends tell you how

great you are, and you care about all these people out

in the world that you don't even know, and half of

them don't care to help you out. they want to

say something to me. Social media is just

there for me that, you got a lot of good things that can happen on it,

but mostly people are just out there just to be asses.

Plain blank.

>> Jonathan: No, it is. And again, to my

point, that this, that what you just

mentioned is going to affect the younger generation

more than like, me. I'm five six. I'm

not tall. But you know what? You can't offend

me.

>> Brian Mitchell: Yeah.

>> Jonathan: I will tell you that right now. You can't offend me.

Nobody. You can't. it's like, I don't.

I'm pretty a quantum us when it comes to my life. It's like,

you know, whatever, I'm just doing me. I'm I'm

me.

>> Brian Mitchell: And you know what? I'll say this. I went through

an era where, remember, Charles Buckley said, I'm not a role

model. He didn't mean he's not a role model. He knows the role model.

He mean, raise your own kids. You know, saying,

and I think then my parents raised me,

I'm raising my kid. And I think there are a lot of parents

today who, their kids are raising them

because, yeah, the parents just see the kid

just like a lot of other people see the kid as a dollar

sign just hit. So

now when your kids are, you need to

see how much social media they thinking in. You need to

also be able to tell them right from wrong. Hell, I knew

when the. When the, when our, bug road runner

dropped the, anvil on Coyote, I knew Coyote wouldn't go die.

Cause it was tv. If not real. I knew I couldn't go do that in real

life. You. I think that's the problem

where we allow music

tv. And when it happened, we go over there, watch.

Why you let them watch all that tv? Why you're not sitting there having a conversation

with them. Talk to your kids. For anybody out there

listening, talk to your damn kids. If you don't

talk to your kids, you can't blame nobody but yourself. Can't blame anybody

else.

>> RB: So true. It's so true.

>> Jonathan: See, we're not just a golf podcast, people.

We actually instill life values into you.

>> Brian Mitchell: Yes.

>> Jonathan: And believe me, I can't agree with you anymore.

that's, that's the truth. But, but no, so you

mentioned you, you came over this way. you know you played Nemicolon?

>> Brian Mitchell: Yes.

>> Jonathan: Have you played Pikewood national?

Pikewood?

>> Brian Mitchell: I've heard of it. I never played it.

>> Jonathan: Well, that would be one if you ever come back over this way, Brian. And you want to

play nemo colon and would love to

have you.

That's true, that's true. Yeah. Because we always say

that to our guests. You know, we're like, hey, man, like, we got to just

peg it up sometime, man, because we, we obviously love

playing golf. And everyone we have on loves playing golf.

>> Brian Mitchell: I mean, I mean, seriously, it's been a game that has

taken me everywhere, man. I've been over to Scotland and played a lot of

these courses we see on tv. It was absolutely

amazing, you know, to go over there and play. And I

travel all over this country playing in golf tournaments,

traveling with my friends, you know, it's a great

sport. That sport is more about life

than any sport.

>> RB: It teaches every life lessons. Yes.

>> Brian Mitchell: Yeah. Cuz you gotta depend on. You can't depend on nobody else.

Well, if you go, be good at it.

>> RB: And, and, you know, you got to take care of the golf

course, right? We replace your divots, fix the.

You gotta rake the bunkers. Like, it's almost like you got to take care of your

room, the golf course, you know,

you could find out a lot about people in

four and a half hours. Like, I can, I can roll with

this guy. I'll play. I'll roll with this guy. Another round of golf. Like, I had

a good time or, man, I hope this guy

took a lot of photos. Cause he's never coming back here type thing, you know what I

mean?

>> Brian Mitchell: Let me tell you this. I had a secret kind of a job at one

point where I had a friend of mine who would take me out to play

with these prospective people, that they were gonna hire.

And he wanted me to watch the guy, see what they doing,

you know, because they worked in finance and

play with this one guy that was dropping balls all over the place,

you know? And that guy didn't get that damn

job. I'm honest with him. I said,

look, I'll let you know what's going on, right? And I say, so

what do you want this information for? He said, well, we may hire him or

not, based off of what you tell us. I mean, I don't call nobody

a job, but then when you really start going through it, you know, golf

is supposed to be a gentleman sport, right?

>> RB: Yeah.

>> Brian Mitchell: And this guy is cheating his ass off. So, hey, he

didn't get the job. Yeah, I told the truth.

>> Jonathan: Exactly. You see that sometimes, like, you know,

you don't want to have that cynical thought of, like, someone blows

their drive way left, and they just run up ahead before

anyone's even in their cart. And in your mind, you're going like, well, I

hope he finds it. But in reality, it's like he's never going to find

it.

>> Brian Mitchell: You find their real ball, and you just hold on to it.

>> Jonathan: Yeah, yeah. Or you get up on a green and

you kind of do a little walk by to see what ball was, and it's a top

flight, and he's been playing title list, and you're like, this little

shithead.

>> Brian Mitchell: I have seen that over and over again.

>> Jonathan: Oh, yeah, yeah,

yeah, yeah. No, I mean, that's one thing about

golf. You got to be. You got to be honest. You're only hurting yourself.

>> Brian Mitchell: There you go. Gotta protect the field, baby. Protect.

>> RB: Yes.

>> Jonathan: Well, man, it was, it was nice having you on here, Brian. It

was a pleasure, getting to hear your story a little bit,

and obviously, your love for golf and the

golf tournament that's going on.

>> Brian Mitchell: Yes.

>> Jonathan: and so we. We appreciate your time, and if you want to tell

the listeners, again, the link to head

on over to. For this, golf tournament.

>> Brian Mitchell: All right. It's lsm. That's Leonard sports management. Celebrity

segment of the show called the Tap in. Segment M,

questions at the man. Your quick response, and he'll take it away.

>> Brian Mitchell: Well, I put with Benardi, sir. Let's go.

>> Jonathan: Do you?

>> Brian Mitchell: Yes.

>> RB: All right. That makes it easier.

>> Jonathan: Shoot.

>> RB: So, what piece of advice would you

give a young Brian Mitchell

to live by?

>> Brian Mitchell: Whoo. Boyd,

every. You don't have to, challenge everything.

>> RB: It's a good one. Favorite golf

course you've played?

>> Brian Mitchell: Favorite golf course I'll play was Cascada in Las Vegas,

a little bit outside of Las Vegas.

>> RB: I heard that clubhouse is sick. They got a river, like, going through it.

>> Brian Mitchell: Go right through the clubhouse. Yes.

>> RB: All right. Dream for some that can be dead or

alive dream for some.

>> Brian Mitchell: Oh, man. Muhammad Ali.

who's my favorite? Sam Snead and tiger

woods.

>> RB: That's a good. All right, last question.

What are you chasing?

>> Brian Mitchell: I'm chasing perfection. Everybody has. I

mean, you'll never get to it, but if you're striving to get to it, you'll

get better.

>> RB: I love it.

>> Jonathan: That's good advice.

>> RB: Brian Mitchell, thank you so much. And I love that you

have that Super bowl ring on. I might have to wear that one day if I'm

allowed.

>> Brian Mitchell: When we tear it up, I'll make sure.

>> Jonathan: Look at that. I love it. I love it,

man. Hey, we really appreciate your time, Brian.

>> Brian Mitchell: I mean, thank you.

>> RB: Well, that was a fun interview with Brian Mitchell. you

know, it's cool to see that he is still

involved in his sport, and I think, ah,

that's big for a lot of these athletes. What am I going

to do after retire? Right? What can I

do? Well, a lot of them want to stay in the sports that they've

played their whole entire life, and it's cool to see that he's got

the pre and post game for the, Washington commanders.

>> Jonathan: Yeah, no, it was awesome. Awesome here. And his. What an

energetic guy. And I think that's really something

that we try to exhibit here on the show, is that, look,

we're more inclined to talk with people that are doing

something, and he exhibits that. Great

cause. Great human being loves golf,

so what can you say?

>> RB: I'd love to be at that bloody Mary bar, boys. I'm a big bloody

Mary guy now, so.

>> Jonathan: I know. And that golf tournament, you guys, check it out. It's

actually happening this upcoming weekend,

but, it is for a good cause. So maybe next year. Put that

on your radar if it's something you want to get involved in.

Yeah, we're a little bit behind the eight ball on that, but

happy, to form a relationship with him and his pr group, and

we'll see where that goes. But, yeah, it's fun.

We. We kind of got this. So, Brian

Mitchell wraps up today, and then looking

forward to the next episode, we got Greg camp coming

on the podcast pep now.

Greg camp, this guy is the guy that pep thought was the long

driver down in Nashville. but he owns an

outfitting company, involved in a lot

of hunts, per

se, big game hunts, you know,

so he's done a lot of things like

that. We've never really had someone that's been

involved as a professional, quote unquote hunter or

owning an outdoor apparel company like

that. So it'll be kind of get his take a little

bit.

>> RB: Well, and I'm excited for us, too, because

we've committed to our first duck hunt,

in mid November. So that's gonna be a lot of

fun.

>> Jonathan: Oh, yeah. Yeah. Duck hunter. That was a great

game, by the way, on Nintendo. And if you need to

get well, you need to shoot some shells.

>> RB: But you got shotgun.

>> Jonathan: I got a nice shotgun.

>> RB: I gotta practice.

>> Jonathan: Well, take yo butt up to

Nemico and the field club. At Nemico and his

rocker right now. They got all kind of clay pigeons, clay

sports. You could set it up, do it as you want, shoot,

or sit at their bar, have a drink. But that's at

Nemicolan Resort in Farmington, Pennsylvania, south

of Pittsburgh. A phenomenal destination all

four seasons. So you people out there listening from other

states, part of the country, across the country, whatever

you are, wherever you are, check out Nemocollan

everyone's included, man.

here, guys, and it's been a fun

episode, as always. Pep, what you got to say?

great week. Chase them this week. Weekend.

And let's put a smile on our faces and walk around, make

every everybody's life a little brighter. Huh? Huh? Let's do it and

go chase them. chasing underscore birdies. But

that was a good photo. You in the golf cart, by the way. This week looked,

like you had a hockey puck in your pocket, had a nice miller

light, and you didn't play in the event. So that was great.

>> Jonathan: It was great. Just a participant.

but I was there. I was there.

at TPE Summerlin.

And by the way, the new 2025 Pro v one and pro

v one X's will be in the field this week.

birthday to you, and I hope you do something

special, this weekend. And

you, deserve it. And I'm not going to put a picture collage

together of you, of, you

best you're going to get from me. Happy birthday to you

and to another year. Year, bud.
