It's time to go one-on-one with D.P. Coming at you live from the Coppull Chevrolet GMC Studios, here is your host, Derek Pearson, presented by Beatrice Bakery, on 93-7 The Ticket and The Ticket FM.com. I'm going to need for you to find Nina, N-E-N-A, N-E-N-A, 99 red-blue, Can you, can you, can you find that for me? And I'm going to need that to be played pretty quickly. Do you have it?

Yeah, yeah, we're going to need to have that discussion. Because, I mean, folks have falling into different lanes about discussing it. And the reality is there's a solution to it. So we will have those discussions, we'll talk about leadership, the loss of leadership here in certain programs at Nebraska and the athletic department. We'll talk about those as well and what causes those things that loss in leadership and then how to recover from it. 42464-568-5.

Starter Hemming text line, Honda, Lincoln Hotline, if you want to call in. And you are invited to call it if you want to do that. The live video streams with Starter Hamer are up, Facebook, YouTube, Twitch, and of course you can follow us now and catch the stream on Twitter live. just follow 937 the ticket on Twitter and it'll be brought to you as a reminder and you gives you the option to just see the video stream doesn't take much work you can put it on your phone right if you've got Twitter on your phone you got Twitter on your laptop you got Twitter on your whatever device you have you can matter of fact just ask Alexa 97 the ticket

Alexa's got you back she will deliver us to you in whatever way on whatever form of format you want. That's what we do. To give you every opportunity and way to kind of hang out with us, it's appreciated. But the conversation to start balloons.

Healy. Give me that, Rico. It has an intro. That is not it. I need Nina. Tell them to stop cheating. Give me my Nina. And the funny thing is there's a, there's a, the German version.

We're just doing the German version. It's better anyways. Why not? It's a pretty cool video. John and Cortland, places in the 90s. I never wanted to visit 99 balloons. Yeah. Can this be the third quarter song?

Or replace the lost balloons? and then have everybody clap, everybody in the stadium claps. Ripped to the balloons. It's a bob. It really is. Honestly, the German version is better. Just hearing 99 new balloons.

It's Naina. Yeah, there was a, like a three-month pressure on Naina. Makes sense. You got to let the, you got to find the English version. You have to find the English version. So the conversation based on tradition was that Nebraska would present, would at least give the option, right, that this could go on, right? I'm sorry, Corbate.

I was trying to have fun with it because people were really intense about it. That they just won't make them available at the stadium, that the universe, the athletic department won't make it available. It doesn't mean you can't bring your own red balloon, right? I mean, there's no rule against you bringing your own red balloon, I don't think. No, not as far as I've seen. And the jazz. Like, I think now they have to play the song before the game.

You kind of have to. You have to play this song before the game. Somebody sent it to Trev. Like, you have to play the song. You no longer have 99 red balloons because you have no balloon. No, but now you're going to have more balloons because people can bring as many of the as they won. But also remember that you're going to hold the balloons there. And then as soon as you get to the breakdown here, you release your balloon. But it'll be before the game. Yep. Not after the

first session. No. All right. Ready. Here we go. Holding it. And then release. And then we dance. Turn it up. It's perfect. Let's do it. Let's do it. I think this is amazing. Let's do it. It's a way to unite on a thing that some folks are separate on. Right? You want to bring red balloons? If you can find balloons, red balloons, and helium in Lincoln. If you want to pay for helium. If you want to pay for helium.

And remember, these are going to be $10 balloons. This is just going to give away and you're going to float away. They're not free anymore. Right. Or whatever. Well, you bought the ticket. You get a balloon. But whatever.

Right. I don't know. Oh, you. Oh, you know what? What? Mark Onweiler. I have it. Uh-oh.

we're going to add especially for the home games oh you're a you're yes we're i know exactly yes yes 93.7 the ticket red balloons should we get 937 balloons no we should get like 50,000 of them i mean that makes more sense but but the people have to fill them up the people have to fill them up so we give them out when we give out the balloon Saturday morning at the pregame shop do we have right there we get a helium tank How much money do you want me to spend on this? Well, I'm just saying, what are you just going to give people balloons? Mark Anwiler, we need you.

Mark Anwiler, we need you. Mark Anwiler, we need to work through this. Where are they going to fill them up? Well, look, if we really want to dominate in the space, which we do. We sell balloons. We, no, just at the corner right there, wherever we are. Mm-hmm. Right?

You want balloons, we got them? We have a helium tank and we're just going to get them out. Okay. I'll fill up balloons. You're going to have to. Because it's going to be. I'm going to need somebody else to tie him because I've tried that once. I'm not very good.

So what if we said we're going to give up 999 balloons? All right. Go grab Mark on Waller. He's like, he's like right. It's like Mac. How many? Okay, hold on.

Go grab Mark on Waller because I think Oak Valley Huska, what's up? And again, you guys can hit us on the text line. We need you. We need you. All right. We need you. Right. we need you in this thing okay so first of all we have to play the song for mark are you familiar

are you familiar with not with nina yeah right so riko give me give me give me give me i'm just going to go straight from the good part go go just go beat is everybody in the clap okay so mark here's the here's the idea so one we would have to order 999 red balloons every home game Okay. Right? Step one. Put 93-7 the ticket on it. Step two.

Go big red. Like we can have like the logo and go big red on there. And then wherever our pregame show is for home game. Uh-huh. We need to have a helium tank. Those are hard to come by these days. I know. But we have 90 some days.

We have 100 days. We have 99 days to get that. I may know a guy. Yeah. There's a guy that is a guy. Sal, come see Sal. It's always Sal. It's always Sal.

But, and then there we would just hand out red balloon. Mm-hmm. Your thoughts? Well, I mean, if you want my honest thoughts. I do. My honest thoughts are that it's past time for the balloons to go away. Okay. But that's fair.

I fall on that side That's why I brought you in This is why I brought you in I like the marketing opportunity That this presents It's a vacuum in the space, right? And then as people complain about it I mean you could have a 93-7

The ticket balloon in New York Throw a QR code to the stream on that Right, exactly You can put that on balloons now So that's actually a thing People be upset They're like, look at this I'm like, yeah, but you're listening

What if we did it without the helium? What if we did it where they could just carry the balloon and tie it to their wrist. They've got one of those like the stiff strings, the plastic strings that just hold it up. That's better. That's better. Yeah, if we're not littering them. We're not letting it into the air. Right?

And then everybody could just whip out their red balloons. So when they score. Just wave them in the air. Wave your red balloons. Well, the Valley Husker said to give out red towels with our logo on them. Red towels or red balloons. So, okay, Texas. I think the red balloons are.

Text on. Okay. So Rico, ask us, luft balloons. Rico, if you would, on social media, on Twitter, we'll also ask us on the starter hamann text line. Which would you prefer that we do on game days, home game days?

Red balloons that aren't helium, but that you can just kind of hang on to and wave when they score, right? You just wave them. What about those old, like, punching balloons that they used to? Oh, no, those would cause fights. Yeah, they would.

Those would cause fights. But they'd be fun. need is those and beer in memorial steak. And you're set. Brawls. Okay, so what do we call the balloons on a stick? Balloon on a stick? A balloon on a stick. Well, no, not on a stick. Because people use it as a weapon. What we're looking at is something that stays attached to the fan. But if you put helium in it, then they'll just let it go.

No helium. No helium. No helium. We won't be able to get it. If you put air in it, it We'll put air into it. That's kind of the whole point. You just drag it behind you. But you have the red balloons in spirit, right? In theory. Right? So Willie says Husker Hankies.

Faisal says, you know, balloons with air. Oh, my goodness. You pop it after the first. You pop them all up to. Three, two, one. Okay, but how much would the other fans who don't have balloons hate us? They would be. They'll get a balloon next time.

Right. Right behind you. Look, the Husker fans can't clap on beat. You expect them to pop their balloons at the same time. Yeah, right, right. You're absolutely right. Just all over the stadium. No, no.

That's why we said we're only going to do 999 balloons and not 30,000 because 30,000 balloons in the football stadium is chaos. Okay, so which would you prefer 93-7 to take it give out on game days? Balloons, not with helium in parentheses. or Husker Red Hankees. Or Husker Hankies. That you just wave. Like terrible towels, but the Husker Hankies.

Okay. And is there no history for Husker Hankees? Not that I know of. Oh, well, then, okay, well, that's an easy win. Right, that's an easy win, right? Wouldn't that be exceptional? Because then you kind of want bigger numbers. Oh, yeah.

Because then you can go more. Terrible towel-esque. Well, I like the Husker. Well, the Herbie Hankees? We could call it Herbie Hankies. Right? Herbie's Hankies. Right?

I'll put that. Would that be cool? Can we use Herbys? Can we use Herbie? Like, we won't put his face on it, but can we say Herbie? No, probably not. But we can use Nebraska. Well.

Can we say Herb's? Nebraska napkins. Can we say Herbs Hankies? Right. What can we use? What can we use? Just herb. Not Chicken Eric says they did Husker Hankies back in the 80s.

Yeah. Okay. So then let's go back. to it. Tradition. Let's go back to bringing back. We're going to replace one tradition with another. Can I answer? I do need to I need to answer this

one because so Gray Punkin says this and again, guys, I'm just, I'm going to remind you about this. You know, I understand sarcasm and I understand, you know, witty retorts. Witty.

Great Puckin says, this is total nonsense. They are Eliminating red blooms. They? No, it's not a day. It's not a they. It's not a they thing. Like if you don't understand, there's a heathium shortage and it's a problem.

Right? And it's across it. It's not just a Lincoln, Nebraska thing. It's not a Lincoln athlete, a Husker athletics thing. That's not what this is. So stop saying it because it's not true. Right? And Treve has done a great job.

You could have full stop right there. But this is about something else. There's a reason why this was of issue and why this happens. So let's just, you know, really kind of like to, no, Henry, these are not do regs. Could be.

Well, red, that's if you go full hankies. Right, right. If you go full handkerchief, I'm not sure what happens with them. Okay, Mark. So what are we calling the towels? Because we can't, can we use Husker. Mark's the expert on whether we can probably not use Husker.

Yeah. We can't use Husker. We can't use Husker. We can't use Herbie. Yeah. Because nobody in media uses Husker. Well, but. For promotional purposes, like we can refer to the team.

We don't have it in our name. There are people who are not a part of the program who have it in their name. That's fair. Hey. Yeah. Don't get me started on that. Because that's a full, full hours worth of tirade. Don't worry, Mark.

That's the only one on camera. My goodness. Yeah. So from an operation standpoint, yeah. Husker hankies are easy, easier than balloons or balloons are easy? Balloons are cheaper.

So if you can get a surprise, because what do we talk about? It would, what, seven grand? 7,000 balloons? Yeah. Over the course of a season. Yeah. 7,000 balloons, 7,000 towels.

7,000 balloons. I wonder if we could find Nina and have her come back, have her redo this. Or we could have our own Nina. There we go. We could have our own Nina do. What's Reagan up to? You know somebody that can sing.

Yeah. Work. Oh, she does have the pipes for it. She does. She really does. Okay. So will you break that down for us? Just from a, from a, and then fan base, again, let us know.

Why are there no towel? Currently, currently, currently, we're at 50-50 in balloons or towels. So I'm going to tweet it out. Keep texting. Text in, we'll, we'll pay attention. Yeah, so he's got the official big red Husker Hanky and Herbie is on it. And, but I think we could do something else. are own, right? So let's do this.

We could call him ticket towels. As long as, and it says, go big red on it and 93-7 the tickets. We can put go big red, right? Sanderson says this, and it's way too logical. Why can't people understand there is enough helium to fill balloons and eat it for important stuff? Why would you be able to fill? Balloons were filled with baby formula. It seems pretty easy to understand.

That's why we're talking about it, because it should be a pretty, it is a thing that's been made another thing. And Treb made a decision based on inform information and data that was provided. And it makes sense. Can we fill balloons with baby formula though? Because that might help some folks. No, no, no. It's like a gift from the heavens.

Well, then we would have the biggest pregame. We would have the biggest pregame ever. Okay. We would have the biggest pregame. So, like we would have a crowd like nobody's business. At Radio Rico AC, which would you prefer 937 the ticket get about on game days? Red balloons, no helium, or ticket towels, terrible towel-ish. Yes, yes.

I'm making a poll question. It is going to be tweeted out. And we would, I'm just going to let you know, we would certainly be saucy with it and that we would probably give those to our friends and family first, the people who, of course. Our regular listeners get the first 999. As if they're VIPs or something. Yeah, that sort of do. That's crazy.

Okay. Red punching balloons would call Jeremy, stop it. That's what I'm saying, Jeremy. I'm in. Well, well, then let me, okay. But also do this. Then there's only 99 of the punching. There's only 99.

We just need a section. Like we need to block off section 37 or something like that. That's the punching balloon section. That's the punching balloon section. Student section. Yeah. Come on. Give all the students spread punching balloons.

All of our student athlete broadcasters. Yes. We'll just get to give them. Give them to your friends. Oh, evil grin emoji. Oh, that's, oh, that's terrible. That's terrible and brilliant. But awesome at the same time.

I'm here for it. I'm here for it. I'm here for it. Oh, man. Like, I have to do that now. We have to do that. It's all got it, Mark. All right.

We'll throw the break. Hey, I, I, But also, Mark, I'm going to need you for this next segment. Okay. Because we do have a special announcement to make about a promotion that we're going to do starting in June. Oh. Yeah. And I need Mark's input.
