Back to one-on-one with D.P. Sponsored by the Downtown Lincoln Foundation on 93-7 the ticket. Welcome back 1131 in the city. Down to O Street, busy today. Well done. Bach, once again, let's set the table. We need to hear from Mr. Costanza. He will set the table for Festivus.

I'm new comus. The tradition of festivist begins with the airing of grievances. I got a lot of problems with you, people. No, you're going to hear about it. You. Bach? Kind sir. We give the stick to you.

The airing of grievances, sports grievances, or life. Bach, I'm going to give you a pass. You can even go out. outside of sports. Grievances, kind, sir, have at it. I wish I had a prepared list. I guess as we're doing this, I feel like I'm a pretty, pretty happy jolly guy with those things are going, I guess. That or, you know, with this job, I get to come on here and air my grievances every day. So, you know, that probably helps out quite a bit. I mean, I, you know, I, again, I'm kind of getting to this. And that rule, of course, you know, with the program reset discussion,

and all that was kind of interesting this past Friday. I was spending the whole week last week asking people, hey, is this a kind of a rebuild? And then, of course, the question gets answered. He gets upset about it. And I understand that. But I guess my biggest grievance has been kind of the same thing I have had for years here with Nebraska.

I'll take a chance to do this again. I think it needs to be built like a Midwest program. The blueprint, the Nebraska football blueprint that has been laid out. and go back to it. Wisconsin has borrowed it. Anytime they go away from it, they fall back into line with everybody else that's trying to, you know, go back to that. So I'll just say that. It's Husker Power, not Husker Speed. Now, you're going to need some speed along the way. It's not this or that. But if your Midwest program that's not built off of power, not built off of toughness, good luck. It is fair to be considered. We'll go to the text line

2312 says DP my grievance is professional team owners who treat the team like it's a cash machine as opposed to a community asset case and point. Oakland A's I was a season ticket holder with the A's for 15 years

yeah and it becomes where the crossing of the lines because the value of keeping teams in the city that they were there remembering that the A's were once Kansas City right

remembering that that wasn't Charles Fennellian what he did did new ownership there are two separate runs this runs in the 70s with the Reggie Catfish Hunter A's that I can rattle off

that starting lineup like it was yesterday the 80s a bash bros championship run and then the 2020 Money Ball run. So you go through it. I get it.

They have to consider the people that are involved. You know, you have to do it. He said, he goes further. He goes, DP, my first A's games was the Kansas City A's in 1967 when I was in secondary. And we forget that, I mean, that the Dodgers were New York. the Giants were New York. Things move around and situations change.

And, you know, it's the same thing. Like, I would be stuck that if the ticket was a major pro sports team and I moved it from 48th and O to downtown Lincoln, there are people that might have issue with it. Now, most would say, yeah, that's pretty good deal, especially at your own expense. Because I didn't take any, we didn't take any public funding for this. We did that from us.

Like, we didn't, maybe we should go back. back and do that. Maybe she'd go back and get public funding. Locke, we can have a bigger stadium. We can have a bigger station. Back to the text line, 6340 says, I'm tired of listening to SIP will say 100. I likefully like that. Yeah, he's picked that up along the way. You know, I, I, it's a simpleism. We need a whole shirt of simpleisms. Yes. We need, we need a full one. 8750 says this, the way around for Nebraska is to get the best kids in the state.

They may not be the most talented, but they will be interested in staying and developing. We would think that, except we also know that there's recent history of Nebraska players who went out, got their money, and then went somewhere else and got more money, never once coming back to Nebraska. Especially in basketball, right? We know that that's been the case. I'm not sure that, that, I think dominating Nebraska recruiting is absolutely vital. I 100% agree to that.

So I think it's going to be there. Phil, Phil went off. Phil went off. Phil says, people who pull through to park in an angled parking, the direction and flow of the parking lot is not designed for you to be able to pull out of parking space. when you were facing in the wrong direction. The airing of grievances. Well done, Phil.

Well done. Well said. Let's see. Ohio Husker. My grievance is the phrase, I appreciate you. What happened to somebody telling you thank you, people that don't know you shouldn't say,

I appreciate you. They don't even know you. What can I appreciate you? appreciate. I think if, if, in fact, there's authentic appreciation, there are gospels that will tell you that being grateful and appreciative are top-level humanity traits. And in speaking it, it is just an acknowledgement that they see you, appreciate you. Yeah. But I get it. I get it. um texner says

dp nata we've had time to process thoughts on the scene of retirement because my regret my grievance is john senior's retirement i'll let bach cue that one up i'll let bach you that one up bach what that you've had time to process what are your thoughts on seniors retirement well again i think the whole retirement tour there's there's things that i would change about it that's the fun of wrestling you know nobody's going to ever book it quite the way that you'd like it uh i think they did a little bit for everybody i think the

AJ Stiles match was phenomenal, getting all those different, especially with the You Can't Russell chance going. He wouldn't have improved. He did like everybody's finisher of the last 20 years. So I thought that was kind of entertaining. The heel turn, I loved, you know, the rock. And I even forget the rapper's name that they threw and give the biggest angle of the year to. You know, so I mean, that was a good.

There's parts of it that they could have done better. And then, of course, the final, as far as the, the, I love the thing. I know you're not a dirty dumb guy. I'm a big dirty dumb guy. So I love that they kind of, he was kind of given to the next generation. But I thought that that was maybe an opportunity to let him go out on top.

Then we saw the Goonther match, which I'm sure what a lot of people are kind of frustrated about now. But, you know, I like Goonther too. I wouldn't have had him smile and tap out. I thought that was a little bit odd. Maybe have him pass out again. But not everything can be done exactly the way that I want to. That's part of wrestling is you get frustrated.

you want to see what their angle is and you go to check out. Now, half the time you're going to leave disappointed about what their angle is and where it ends compared to your fantasy booking. But I guess I'm not too mad about it. I think in the moment you get there, but as I go back and look at the last year, again, I think there's a lot of things I would have done differently. But it wouldn't end up on my airing of grievances list.

How much of the results of a giving card? Let's say there's 10 max. how many of what percentage of those matches are going to leave the customer happy satisfied literally half yeah literally half like that and i think they get greater enjoyment i think the powers of be in w w you get more enjoyment when they disappoints you than when they give you what you want well again that's why i love it's the only business that that you can walk away from that scene to match everybody's yelling they're angry they're pissed they're they're chaining against the you know the book or everything and you and everybody in the back

just looks around and go got a great job perfect got them got them got them got them they'll tune in they'll tune in got him man got him uh bill a bit it you are hilarious he goes the use of the term better times when early break gets old say what you say man there's a couple of early break heaters out today what wait boy that's that's that's that's That's its own club. What I'd raise, this is what's up, D.P. I take issue with people who say it was in the last place I looked. Of course it was.

Once you found it, why would you keep looking? Fair, fair. Far too often, and I'm a member of that club. 5296 says, this, my grievance is how some schools skewed the initial premise of NIO with the introduction of collectives. The whole idea was for athletes to appear in average. not having college free agency and people whining about John Cedar losing his last match every rustlers know you go out on your back I was guilty but I was it was my

grievance it was my grievance I was there I wanted here I wanted to leave the building happy that's not a fault I didn't go go you know it's people played good money for that you know it's like it's the same thing I paid good money to go see Hamilton I know how I knew how it would end. I knew how it would end. He dies. He dies. I knew how it would end. I knew. I watched Titanic.

I knew how it ended. I knew that. It didn't mean I didn't cry. I understood Jack. Come back. That's part of who we are. Texas says this. High school boys basketball with a player commits a file, puts his hands up. What I do.

automatic technical well if they put what they're taught to put one hand up to identify to the score that the file was on me and i acknowledged the file raising two hands no don't do that they'd hit you with a technical so good to know good to know uh riley w says jake so insufferable Dolphins complaints. Oh, Jake, they're coming after you, bro. They strike three on early break. It's the area of grievances. This is what Festivus is all about.

Get it out of your system. Feel how you feel. Right? I've been clear. I think that a lot of Lincoln, Nebraska drivers should go back to school and learn the rules for crosswalks. Like those big bold lines on the street. that they're there they're there like and it's not it's just a suggestion so hold on let's is he on the line is he on the line we're going to Jake so Bob go ahead and go to the to the hotline all right are you

Yeah, I just, I have great, I've learned, I've had great fear. Austin Ormond took a grievance for us to officially participate in the, in Festivus, and the airing of grievances. Austin, Norman, what was the recent airing of grievances that you accepted for the public? So Jason, shout out Jason, a longtime listener, Jason, called in and said his grievance that he would
