00:00And I don't know if you guys saw this or not,
00:07but there's a clip going around of an apparent 12-year-old football player.
00:13And I saw the clip yesterday, and I didn't play it on the show
00:16because I thought it was fake or a joke.
00:19Okay.
00:20But it's real.
00:22Jeremiah Johnson is a 12-year-old running back from Fort Worth, Texas,
00:26and the internet is dumbfounded that this guy is only 12 years old
00:31based on his size and maturity.
00:33Okay.
00:34The athlete became a viral sensation after a photo of him
00:38sporting what appears to be facial hair and a tattoo surfaced on social media.
00:44Is this like that basketball player from my hometown?
00:46Well, that's what I thought.
00:47Yeah, that's what that reminded me of.
00:49Totally.
00:50When you see this guy, which you can check out at DaveAndChuckTheFreak.com
00:54if you haven't seen him yet, you will never believe he's 12 years old.
00:59He has a mustache.
01:00I would say he was 27.
01:01He has a mustache.
01:03Dude, I would sell that guy's cigarettes whenever we did the gas station.
01:06Yeah.
01:07That's why you have the card.
01:08He's 12.
01:09This photo surfaced on social media this past weekend
01:12after he was crowned the MVP at the 2022 Youth National Championships
01:16over the weekend in Miami.
01:18Johnson, whose Dallas Dragons Elite Academy team won the championship game,
01:22can be seen holding the trophy that reads 12U Division I Most Valuable Player.
01:28And then in a separate video, some guy who couldn't believe it
01:31is asking him about it.
01:32And this is what, this is really quick.
01:35How you in?
01:36I'm 12.
01:37Boy, this boy 12.
01:38He looks like he might actually be the coach.
01:52I'm 12.
01:53Yeah.
01:53I am 12 years old.
01:55There's no way.
01:57How you in?
01:58Boy, this boy 12.
02:00A national youth sports school and network in Fort Lauderdale shared photos of Johnson
02:09identifying him as a 12-under football player.
02:14No one was convinced this person was a preteen, including one NFL pro.
02:20Miami Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill tweeted,
02:22If that 12-year-old is really 12, my son's not playing football.
02:27These kids are built different.
02:28Yeah.
02:29Well, they are.
02:31Did he show his birth certificate?
02:33Or, like, how do you prove?
02:36I mean, it almost looks like they photoshopped an old guy's face on people's bodies.
02:42No, but that was him in 2020.
02:43Yeah.
02:44Right?
02:45That's him at 10.
02:46That's him at 10.
02:47And that's him there.
02:49His mother on social media said,
02:56Before I lay down, I want you all to know my baby's going viral.
02:59These folks is going in.
03:02So, yeah, he's on 12U because he meets all the requirements.
03:07He's 12.
03:09No, his tattoo isn't real.
03:10It's temporary.
03:11But, yes, his goatee is.
03:13Yeah, I mean, like, listen, I've coached now for a long time, and I've seen a lot of, like, 12U teams.
03:22And every once in a while, you'll see, like, a kid that's bigger than everyone else.
03:25It's, like, kind of a normal thing.
03:27That's, to me, the big difference is when someone can grow a beard.
03:35You know?
03:36Right.
03:37Yeah.
03:37But it just might be, you know?
03:40I'm glad I know the tattoo is fake.
03:42Yes.
03:43The tattoo is fake, but the goatee.
03:45Who would tattoo a 12-year-old?
03:46Yeah.
03:47The goatee is real.
03:49Still, by the way.
03:50That guy's reaction.
03:51How are you here?
03:53Boy, this boy at 12.
03:54Dave had the exact same reaction.
03:58How old are you at?
04:02So I didn't believe it yesterday.
04:03I just saw that video.
04:04I'm like, this is real.
04:06I saw that video out of context, didn't have the whole story.
04:09I'm like, oh, this is crazy.
04:12There's no way that kid's 12.
04:13No.
04:14I was going through old pictures.
04:16I was trying to find something.
04:17And it was from like three years ago.
04:23And my kid was like 12 then.
04:26And to see how small they all are, like little tiny kids, like little tiny children with different
04:32faces and, you know, pudgy cheeks.
04:35Like, this is different.
04:37This guy would kill them all.
04:39Oh, for sure.
04:40He'd kill them all.
04:41No.
04:42I mean, haven't seen a birth certificate.
04:45But.
04:46I am 12 years old.
04:49I just, I did find it hard to believe.
04:52But it seems like you'd verify that, right?
04:54If this guy shows up and he's taking on your team, wouldn't you be like, we're going to
04:58need to see.
04:58There's some, like, really bad, as it will, Farrell coaches a soccer team and he brings
05:05two kids in and they just write down on a piece of paper, like, I am 10 years old or
05:09something.
05:10What is that?
05:11What is that?
05:12Bench warmers or I can't remember what the movie is.
05:15Someone said James has being a father has changed.
05:19James, I distinctly remember last year he said he'd tattoo his kid.
05:26Well, I would give him cool tattoos.
05:28Yeah.
05:28And now he's like, 12 and tattooed, oh my God.
05:31Yeah, no, it all changes.
05:33Yeah, life changes.
05:35Put the weed out.
05:36Put the weed out.
05:37She'd see me when Family Guy comes out.
05:38Get that weed out of here.
05:40We've got to turn this Family Guy show off.
05:42Just picking up some bad stuff.
05:43Yeah.
05:44Yep.
05:46Fatherhood has changed, James.
05:47Just a touch.
05:48I can't believe you just said that on The Office.
05:49We've got to turn the channel.
05:51Put on Coco Melon.
05:53Yeah.
05:53Coco Melon.
05:54Oh, yeah.
05:55It's Coco Melon, Tom and Jerry, and Looney Tunes all day long.
05:58Yep.
05:58I get it.
05:59Kicking and Screaming was the Will Ferrell movie.
06:01Oh, okay, yeah.
06:02That you were referring to there.
06:03But, yeah, if you haven't seen this kid, you will not believe he's 12.
