NORMAN — Less than 10 minutes remained until the
afternoon drive time show kicked off. Dusty Dvoracek and Teddy Lehman, former
OU stars and talk show hosts for KREF-AM 1400, were nowhere to be seen. Teddy

Dvoracek, Teddy Lehman are in a rush Chris Joseph, the radio show host who
taught them how to transition from breaks, set down a pair of headphones. “I
feel like Yoda,” Joseph said, followed by the sound of the famous Star Wars
master. “But seriously these guys are like two German shepherds who still think
they're lap dogs.” The door to Auto Accessories Unlimited in Norman opened.
Lehman smiled as he walked in, followed by Dvoracek, who was on his iPhone.
Lehman began texting on his phone. The two fairly new radio hosts of “The Rush”
were trying to set up a discussion about the NFC North with players from the
division for that afternoon. After spending every summer since they were in
middle school in shoulder pads and helmets under the hot August sun, the two
former OU and NFL players decided to hang up their cleats and grab some
microphones after the 2011 season. Since their playing days at Oklahoma, they
worked out together in the offseason in Norman, so they decided there was no
better place to find a post-football job than back home. Just one week after
Lehman ended his UFL career in Las Vegas last November, they pitched the idea
of their show to the local radio station manager. “He said, ‘No, thanks. But do
you want to come in this Saturday for a one-hour postgame show?'” Dvoracek
said. “That was the Saturday against A&M,” Lehman added. A month later,
Dvoracek and Lehman had a 10 a.m.-1 p.m. show. By the middle of April, they
were moved to drive time from 2-6 p.m. Intensity on the air Dvoracek and Lehman
both hung up their phones from calls to players they were planning to put on
the air in just a few hours. The clock read 2:01. “Always putting things off to
the last second — that's why we're called ‘The Rush,'” Dvoracek said. “We both
sent about 700 text messages and got like three replies each.” By 2:04, the
commercial break ended, and Dvoracek was starting the first of four one-hour
segments. They talked about Dallas receiver Dez Bryant, the U.S. Olympic hoops
game against Brazil and — Dvoracek's favorite — “Big Brother.” They brought
intensity to the air just like they did to the field in their playing days.
During a break at 2:32, the off-air discussion turned immediately to football:
Wisconsin football, to be specific. As they talked, they dropped their deep
voices even lower to mimic the Badgers, and then laughed.
