What happens when an NFL coach decides to focus his talents on developing youth athletes with character first, skills second? In this fascinating conversation, former Dallas Cowboys running backs coach Evan Harrington shares his journey from NFL sidelines to launching I-9 Sports programs across West Texas.

Harrington offers rare insights from his time with the Cowboys, working directly with Mike McCarthy on play sheets and coaching elite running backs. He reveals what it's like inside NFL coaching rooms and shares candid observations about Jerry Jones ("he treats everyone the same, whether it's the janitor or the VP of another company") and the business of professional football.

But what truly shines is Harrington's passion for youth development. After playing internationally in Switzerland and Germany, becoming Europe's youngest head coach at 25, and coaching at football's highest level, he's now focused on children ages 3-12. His upcoming Nike Summer Camp in Midland July 22 exemplifies his innovative approach—kids rotate daily through football, basketball, soccer and baseball sessions, with local business leaders sharing how sports principles translate to professional success. July 22 - 25 Nike Kid Camp

From basketball courts in Midland to pioneering healthcare work in South Carolina, Alfonso's journey reveals the powerful influence of his Mexican-American upbringing on his professional path. In this deeply personal conversation between cousins, we explore how growing up in West Texas during the 1990s-2000s shaped Alfonso's trajectory toward becoming a leader in infectious disease healthcare.

Alfonso shares vivid memories of cross-border life—regular family trips to Mexico on Greyhound buses, carrying suitcases full of goods to sell or share with family. His bilingual education at Ben Milam elementary and his basketball career at Midland High eventually led to a scholarship at Graceland University in Iowa, opening doors he never anticipated.

The heart of this conversation examines Alfonso's evolution from Spanish medical interpreter to infectious disease specialist working with HIV/AIDS patients. His bicultural background became his superpower in healthcare, allowing him to connect with Latino patients facing stigma and fear. "I loved delivering hope," he explains, describing the satisfaction of telling newly diagnosed patients they could live full lives with proper treatment.

In this raw, unfiltered conversation with Former UFC,WEC & BKFC Fighter  Leonard “ Bad Boy Garcia” Garcia & BKFC Fightsr Jeremy Sauceda  and his coach Ruben Llamas, we dive deep into the world of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship as they prepare for Jeremy's upcoming bout on June 21st in Texas. Coach Llamas out of The Works MMA & Boxing Gym In Hobbs NM, with nearly 30 years of combat sports experience spanning boxing, MMA, and Vale Tudo, reveals the technical nuances that make BKFC uniquely challenging. "The wrapping of the hand is completely different," he explains. "There's no padding at all on the knuckle."

What emerges is a fascinating look at the psychological aspects of fighting – the confidence Jeremy displayed in his last victory, the strategic planning that goes into every movement, and even how fighters prepare differently for the compact BKFC ring. When legendary fighter Leonard Garcia joins the conversation, we're treated to philosophical insights on what drives these athletes: "You want to fight somebody that you think might whoop you," Garcia explains, contemplating his own potential return to the sport at age 46.

A remote podcast in South Texas  where oilfield work meets border security creates unique challenges few Americans ever experience. In this raw, candid conversation, we take you directly to the lease roads of South Texas where workers navigate dangers beyond the typical hazards of the energy industry.

When one host describes driving to a location at 5 AM and encountering border patrol vehicles racing past at high speeds, it opens a window into a world that feels straight out of "Sicario" - except it's the daily reality for those working these territories. The stories shared are firsthand accounts from those who've had their homes broken into, encountered desperate migrants on job sites, and developed survival instincts most oilfield workers never need to consider.

"You can't see what's behind those bushes," one worker warned, explaining how someone could "kill you, pull you 100 yards out there" where "they ain't gonna find you till the buzzards come." This stark reality check reveals why workers in these regions maintain heightened vigilance - checking under vehicles and staying alert to their surroundings at all times.

The conversation extends beyond physical safety to explore how border proximity affects everything from music to family life. We discuss the complex relationship between narcocorridos (songs about cartel activities), visa revocations for Mexican artists, and how American performers with Mexican heritage navigate different standards protected by First Amendment rights.

From local politics to bare-knuckle fighting, The Patch Boyz are stepping up their game in unexpected ways. The duo kicks off with a celebratory recap of their recent Nino episode, which not only proved successful in terms of viewership but also validated their prediction about the local bond vote outcome. They reflect on how despite Nino's controversial reputation, he showed genuine respect for their platform while providing valuable insights into social media strategy and political messaging.

The conversation hits its peak when they reveal their most exciting news yet – securing media credentials for the upcoming BKFC event in Fort Worth on June 21st. This milestone represents a significant evolution for the podcast, transitioning from casual conversations to legitimate media coverage. With palpable enthusiasm, they discuss their plans to document the entire experience and support local fighters Jeremy Salsita and potentially Leonard (pending official announcement). The card also features UFC veteran Andrei Arlovski and last year's "Fight of the Year" rematch between Tenaglia and Soto.

Throughout their discussion, The Patch Boys express heartfelt gratitude toward their sponsors who've made these opportunities possible. They emphasize how their organic growth stems from authentic relationships and community support rather than algorithmic strategies. The episode also touches on current political developments, including US-China trade negotiations and their potential impact on the oil industry.

When Daniel Villegas first decided to get his CDL at 19, he couldn't have imagined how that decision would transform into Branded 14 - one of the most recognized hot shot services in the Permian Basin. After discovering that pipeline work wasn't for him, Villegas found his calling in transportation, specifically in ESP (Electrical Submersible Pump) hauling.

What makes his story compelling is the strategic business decisions that set Branded 14 apart. While many hot shot companies chase long-haul work across state lines, Villegas deliberately specialized in the ESP niche, keeping his drivers local. "You're going to be home every night. It might be late, but you're going to be home," he explains, highlighting how this focus has contributed to business stability even during industry downturns. "It'll slow down, but it won't stop," he notes about ESP work, revealing the resilience of this specialized service.

The company's name itself reflects the family values at its core - his son suggested adding the number 14, his baseball jersey number passed down from father to son. This family-first approach extends to how Villegas runs his business, from maintaining long-term relationships with clients to supporting his drivers. Many of his current customers are people he's worked with for decades, who started as service techs and have risen to management positions where they now make purchasing decisions.

Patch Boyz Welcome Nino “Nino America” Rodriquez, The self-proclaimed "Southside Midland" native has become one of the most polarizing yet influential voices in local politics, and in this raw, unfiltered conversation, we discover the man behind the viral videos and controversial takes.

At the heart of our discussion is the hotly contested $450 million Midland College bond issue that Nino has rallied against. With passionate conviction, he breaks down why this 30-40 year financial obligation could ultimately cost taxpayers over $1.1 billion when interest is factored in. "These taxes and these bonds are going to put a tight grip on our pockets for everybody," he warns, explaining how property taxes can silently drain family resources through mortgage escrow accounts that many don't monitor closely.

Beyond politics, Nino reveals surprising aspects of his journey – from his days in the rap scene as "Nino Texas" to his religious awakening and eventual emergence as a social media force across multiple platforms. Despite his confrontational public persona, his priorities become clear
The conversation ventures into content creation strategies, local safety concerns following the recent church shooting, and why Nino believes focusing on local politics matters more than national issues. Whether you find yourself nodding in agreement or shaking your head in opposition, this episode provides an authentic glimpse into a complex voice that refuses to be ignored in West Texas.

What makes someone stand firm in their convictions despite constant criticism? How does a content creator balance family life with public activism? Discover the answers in this compelling, sometimes controversial, always honest conversation with the man known as Nino America.

We welcome  CJ “Cyril” Smith shares his remarkable journey from Houston's neighborhoods to becoming a respected jiu-jitsu black belt while building one of Midland's most dynamic martial arts schools. Between managing operations at Cintas and teaching nightly classes, he's developed a philosophy that focuses on practical self-defense rather than just competition skills.
The conversation takes emotional turns as CJ recounts stories of transformation – from the withdrawn, bullied child who discovered his power through learning takedowns, to women reclaiming their sense of security after trauma. "The first thing I teach them is to shoot a double like wrestling," CJ explains, emphasizing techniques that translate to real-world protection.
Beyond martial arts, CJ offers wisdom about personal growth applicable to everyone: the power of small, consistent steps toward goals, finding purpose through serving others, and creating community in unexpected places. His school has grown from humble beginnings in his garage to serving students, with international competition success that makes Midland surprisingly prominent in global jiu-jitsu.
This conversation delivers powerful insights about resilience, purpose, and the impact one person can have on an entire community.

The moment we landed an interview with Donovan Carter from HBO's "Ballers," we knew we had something special. As longtime fans of the show, we couldn't believe one of the main characters was actually talking with us! What struck us most was how genuine Donovan is - exactly what you'd hope for from someone who's made the journey from football player to respected actor.

This episode takes you beyond celebrity talk as we journey through our shared love of cinema and the stark differences between films of yesteryear and today's offerings. We dive into why movies from the "golden age" like "Secondhand Lions," "Pearl Harbor," and "Ex Machina" hit differently than contemporary films. There's something about those classics that modern filmmaking seems to have lost - a freedom to tell stories without being handcuffed by cultural sensitivities and social expectations.

Our conversation meanders through economic concerns, health decisions for our families, and the challenge of raising kids who understand cultural touchstones beyond TikTok clips. As fathers, we're constantly navigating how to share beloved films with our children, hoping they'll connect with stories that shaped us. There's nothing quite like watching your child experience "The Goonies" or "Old School" for the first time!

Whether you're a film buff, a parent trying to share classics with the next generation, or just someone who appreciates authentic conversation, this episode offers a window into the things that matter beyond the oil patch.
