You're listening to one-on-one with DP. Brought to you by Canopy Street Market. On 93-7, the ticket and the ticket FM.com. 1134. 52 degrees in Lincoln, Nebraska, rain. Rain ending around 115 is the weather report on my phone. I just smile every time I... 1134.

I'm just telling me my old bosses that was that was first thing on the list. Welcome back to the ticket 1134 on Monday, October 6th. Because not everybody knows and not everybody is listening the whole time. So you have to tell everybody everything all the time. You think smartphones change that at all? I mean, that was a radio thing. I don't know if it's probably gone away a little bit just because anybody can check whatever, but they had watches.

Do you? Yeah, but a lot of people don't have watches. Yeah. And if they have watches, they have smart watches, which let them see their text from their phone that's in their pocket. It's just a hole. You're already getting those texts. You're already getting them, bro. You're already getting them. You're already getting them. You have a device. You just added another device. And then you know what you did? You then got to blue. And you added that to it. So then, hey, you have the Bluetooth that will read the text to you that you're looking at on your watch and on your phone. I don't get it at all. I mean, I get it. You look pretty self-important when you're looking at your watch.

I'm not a lot. I haven't done the smart watch, but my wife has one. And, you know, so I get it. People like to look like they're busy and doing stuff. But you have to like, I mean, like you said, it's in your pocket. Just take out your phone. You can type with a full keyboard. You don't have to like barely click a small.

all watch face on anything. Maybe it is completely handy. Maybe I'm behind the times, but to me, that looks like a step backwards in technology. I have, this is what I know. I'm officially the old guy. Because I have zero desire to

to have it on 24 hour accent. I'm here 18 hours a day. Why would I want, like give me up, give me six hours to shut down and say no. Give me nine hours. Where I do, so, I don't need to look at my phone, at my watch during a show.

I don't even need to have my messages open during the show because that means I'm not engaged. Bach will tell y'all, one of my pet peeves of people is people who work here is that if I see them on their phone, oh, you're just stealing money. You're just stealing money. You're just stealing money because there's nothing that's going on. Right. Oh, well, I'm getting an alert on Nebraska football. It's on your laptop. It's on your computer. You're getting it. You're getting it anyway. Like, but that's just me. And I'm like, okay, I got to let people be people. If you want to be that self-important and, you know, point at the wrist.

It's like, and it happens at dinner. It happens at meetings where the person looks down. Like they get, their wrist is vibrating for crying out loud. Right? the wrist is vibrating and then they take their eyes off of you. So this thing that was so important for us to talk about face to face in this day and age, we scheduled it. Matter of fact, we blocked time, Bach, just to have this conversation. And it's so not important that when your wrist, that random Tiffany from across the street texted you, bro. Hey, that could be an important message.

Hey, hey, it says several things. It says several things. It tells me what your priorities are, sir. It tells me what your priorities are. And notice I said, sir, not ma'am. Because quite frankly, the same thing happens on the other side. So stop it. Stop it all of you.

Chase me says, my wife got an Apple watch, but I don't wear it because I'm afraid to break it in while working. Yeah, I just don't, I don't want to do that. Eric, yeah, please, sir, can we get an update on the date and time? October 6, 1138 here in Lincoln, Nebraska, 937 the ticket. You're listening to one-on-one, Derek Pearson, Jake Bockhoven, in case you just joined us. And we were reading the text from our, from our fan base and our listeners, our radio family. Todd Husker, the biker, says this, the special teams only in eight due to the block in the back that negated the touchdown and an 18-yard punt.

be it into the wind, but a rugby style punt should definitely be lower in hang time and rolls with just a bad punt. But overall, happy with the special things. That makes perfect sense. Perfect sense. Cigar Guy says, I've got an Apple Watch, but I never wear the thing. I don't like always knowing things. Also, we don't allow all phones at the dinner table. You don't always need to be accessible.

Cigar Guy, you're a hero. You're a hero. That is heroic. Don't, what do you, if that's your, dinner, if that's your family time, and each household's different about what, what, about how you present meals. But old heads, dinner time meals were family time. Check up on the day, get connected, remind each other about, you know, what's going on in the world. And I'm a, look, I'm 63 years old. And I, I have, I get reminders every now and then that I can't even

imagine sitting in my grandmother's dinner table with all the work she's put into making those meals and pulling out of cell phone. My my pop would have thrown, he would have thrown a fork at me if I wasn't engaged in the conversation. So, but that's, you know, culturally, I mean, this country's changing. I mean, the meals, you know, everybody's working, multiple jobs, everybody's scattered all over the place and different focuses. And everybody wants to be informed about everything all the time. I need the last bit of available news. You're scrolling. You're scrolling. You're refreshing. You're refreshing. Hoping to get some new information or a new distraction. Instead of focusing on the thing that's right in front of you that you haven't really

consumed in full in the first place. Eat the meal. Spend time with your family. Right? TV away. I mean, there are, culturally, there are family debates over whether the TV could be on during the meal because it's one of my favorite movies. One of my favorite best of times. Football movie, Robin Williams, Kurt Russell, right? They,

Robin Williams was, they were high school buddies to play in high school football and then the big rivalry. Kurt Russell throws a touchdown, throws a potential game winning touchdown to Robin Williams. He drops it. Their paths change from that moment.

It changed. It's never what it was. And they never let it go. They never let it go. So 20 years later, they're like, what if we replayed the game? And that meant they had to try and go get everybody back together. Of course, it's 20 years later, so not everybody, not everybody's in shape, not everybody's available, right? All those things. Great movie, but there's a scene for Thanksgiving, right? And both Robin and Kurt Russell's characters were trying to get back together with their wives because sports and football,

always was the distraction. But the big game is on during their, during their, uh, reconnect dinner. And they've got the TV on, but they've got it hidden to only where they can see it. Right.

They're the only ones that can see it. But neither one of them are wise enough to not react to what's going on in the game. But it was a thing. It was the thing. And then Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving Day. games, then it became a part of it. And then if that happens, then you open the door to, well, Christmas, you know, because, you know, you got to be able to watch games.

And I don't know what the Husker rules for engagement are. But if the Husker game is on during dinner time, what are the, what do you know are the rules for engagement? So Husker football, big game, dinner time. Do you eat dinner around the game? Is that? I mean, well, yeah, I mean, with the game, you usually have, you know, you plan for food to be as part of it. So that's what we always did anyway.

So, I mean, it would be against the rules to have a scheduled dinner time outside of it. Yeah, Texas is playing dinner better. Yeah, right. Skip dinner tonight, whatever it might be. Oh, man. Cigar guy says, I work night. So when we get a meal together, there's a big deal. TV off, no phone.

Nobody leaves into everybody leaves. And then everybody, the food. and everybody contributes. Everybody cleans the table. Everybody, you know, Becky and I had a thing. This is what we knew. And I was so appreciative. She loves cooking. She loves cooking. And she liked making meals. But my thing was if she's going to do all that work, I'm going to clean. Like, don't you dare get up from the table. Go in the living room, go chill. I'm going to clean up this kitchen. I'm going to do everything. Right. And I think it's there, right? I think it's depending on how it is. So, it's all phones away at seven. I have dinner. on the table at 730, board games after dinner, and then everyone, the fam reads until bad. The fact that the folks are still reading. And bravo to that, because that's to my heart. I was having a conversation with Kat from Lincoln Literacy yesterday, talked about

reading in the home, how important it is for zero to five-year-olds, just from vocabulary acceptance and curiosity and how important it is to have reading in the home. But that a lot of the parameters are set for how you're able to. to process reading before age five. So if you're not reading in the home, you're putting your child at a deficit. It's a deficit that you never catch up from. Bill and Ben says,

I was on a week-long fishing trip all last week and didn't even take my phone with me. See, that, I mean, that's, that's just it, right? That I don't, I don't take, I do not take my phone to bed. You know, if it's on fire, broken overnight, what would you do? what would you do? Do that.

What would you do? What would you do if I wasn't available? Okay, do that. We'll deal with the ramifications afterwards. Bunny G. in Kansas was going back. There's a 54 total yards at half. Probably deserve some booze. Yeah, it was tough.

The W received the cheers. We were on the winning side of half the teams have played across this great country. 100%. You're on the winning side. 0378 says we got lucky I got the game at 11 points I want money yeah I get that right

like I understand it Bach and I are still trying to figure out the whole betting thing the whole prognostication thing and remember we didn't always have it Jimmy the Greek was a unicorn he was a unicorn but his prognostication

was different because he gave data he gave data there are people who just say I think we're going to win and not really have any of it. He would tell you where it came from. M.T. Westie says, can we talk about how maybe it's not completely on our O-line for every sack? Dylan missed some open receivers.

That is church, tabernacle, choir, gospel. That, listen, everybody's accountable. And, look, Dylan has said previously that, listen, some of these sacks don't blame the line. blame, put the blame on him. And rightfully so, from a leadership standpoint, accountability standpoint, and then just being honest, that certain situations down and distance,

and Bach, we could do an entire series of shows on the hierarchy of play calling and play adjustments, that down and distance, personnel on the field, tendencies, pre-snap reads, audible capability and then making the play, how you break that all down. Because with third and third and four, you can have the belief that this route combination is going to work

and that you have a key. And you may feed it in a, hey, we're going to run this mesh route. But the second receiver will probably come open quicker. Just. But what if they, the defense knows.

was that too. And they jumped that. But you only need four yards. So what if your ex-receiver on the left numbers actually slants in this wide open right away at five yards? But because you prefaced this by the second mesh route, middle of the field, your eyes go to where you were sent. And then, oh, they blitz. And now I'm stuck with a ball on my hand with a route that's been jumping. and I didn't even see the slant route being wide open.

And you hope, you know, it's Aaron Rogers and the veteran player, quarterbacks who would have said, oh, no, this safety over the top is probably going to jump one of the two. I'm going to throw to whatever he didn't jump, which was the slant. Those things happen. They happened several times. They've happened in previous games. But this is what happens with a second year quarterback.

It absolutely, they get fooled. They get fooled. It happened with A. and Childs. He probably had four different situations where he had an open receiver running opposite of his eyes. And he took a sack because somebody told him, key this instead of making the football play. We'll throw the break, come back, close out,
