Block, how are you this fine Thursday? Hey, not too bad. Like you said, it's time for some NFL football. And, of course, college football ready to go for week two. It's a good time to be lost. It really is, you know, amongst all other things, right? We sometimes get lost in trying to find, as AD say, trying to occupy time. instead of enjoying and celebrating time.

We're passing time rather than spending time. And I love the fact that we get to do this every day. We have a community of people who meet up. Some of them do it by appointment. You know, they make a point. I did not plan on doing one-on-one today. Carricker let us know he wasn't feeling well. So shout out to Carrecker to feel better soon.

Let's get him. Let's get the big guy better. And then we've had power issue in the building for the building. And it's a, you know, shout out to LAS. We're trying to help us and try to figure out what the problem is. You find out all the things about the building that you do not know. Again, this building existed before we were here. It wasn't functioning in full.

It certainly didn't have a radio station and its power grid, sapping energy. But they, you know, upgraded some things. And then sometimes along the way, you find the thing. Oh, okay, we might need to fix this. So it dropped yesterday morning early. So early break got disrupted a little bit. And then last night during the weeknight, you know, we had some shows planned and power just the whole building goes dark. And then the people who live in the building, they come running down, you know, figure out, okay, what's going on?

Well, it's not just their unit. If the radio station's dark, it's the whole building. And we waited and try to figure out what it is. And you try to figure out how, you know, which, which, which, you know, what can you do? Can you, can you trip a fuse and make it all better? Can you do? Then you're waiting for building maintenance and versus LES maintenance.

You know, it was a whole thing. And then this morning, this morning, boom. That's why I didn't say boom today. I didn't want to, I didn't want to, I didn't want to, I didn't want to call to it, you know, I didn't want to do that. So they're working on that. We know that there's some parts that they have to replace whenever they can get their hands on the part and get whatever technicians in place.

So fingers crossed that, you know, no more boom, no more boom today as well. But when you text it, when you called and said, we need you to do one-on-one, I literally was planning on, I was supposed to go to the dentist and get my mouth clean, and get my teeth clean. And Bach, full confession. Full confession, folks.

Transparency here. I'm not mad. I'm not mad that I had to do radio instead of getting, having Steve Martin's minions in my mouth with metal and scraping and cutting and cleaning.

I'm, I was actually grateful, Bach, that thank you, Bach, for calling and thinking of me in a time of need. I was like, I had to call, I had to call them and shout out to Williamsburg Dental. They're always gracious and always, you know, willing to work with me and my fluid constantly changing schedule. So I'll shout them out because I had to make the phone call, you know. I'm sorry. I was really looking forward to this mouth cleaning session.

But alas, I must talk sports. I have to talk sports instead. And my apologies in advance. Thank you. Let's reschedule. It's kind of funny, too, because when you're, like when you're a kid, I just noticed like certain kids start to say, yeah, I don't really like the dentist or this or that. But you want to teach all the kids, hey, you know, you got to go to the dentist, you got to keep care of your teeth.

And of course you do. But it's just funny because as you transition into kind of more adult conversations, you realize nobody really likes the dentist. Nobody wants people poking around in their mouth. Bro. And they're the nicest of people. Yeah. The staff at Williamsburg dental, incredible. When you go.

And I have had some not so heavy. experiences with dentists throughout the course of my life. So much so that at a point, I just thought, I was like, you know what, if my teeth fall out, they'll just go fall out. Like, I would rather, I would rather they fall out than go through what I just went through. And it's when you're getting into guttural cleaning, right? When they really get under the gum line, that sort of deal. But if you don't do it on a regular basis, it'll catch up to you, right?

It'll start to affect you another way. and then finding quality people who will just be considering, like when you go to them, just be considering, right? That, you know what, this is, I don't enjoy this. I'm not Bill Murray from the little shop of horrors, right? You know, I don't get excited about going to the dentist. I don't, it's not one of my favorite days of the year. it's just not.

And I explain this to them. Listen, I don't want to be here. I do not like this. I do not enjoy this. I lose sleep the night before the dentist. Like, I feel it in my stomach. You know, gotta go. Oh.

Oh. And I remember I was back east and my grandson had a dentist appointment. And he's looking at me for support. But he's looking at me like, granddad, I, you know, I, I don't know, I got to admit. I don't want to do this. And I want to be supportive like, no, it'll be okay. I was like, nope, you are right.

You know what? You are my grandson and you are right. This is not cool. This should not be necessary. And his mom's just looking at me, like, shaking her head. Like, oh, that's what you decided to go with. Yeah, that's what I just. That's what I decided to go with.

So I am thrilled to be here with you, with all of you. If you, I can't be the only person that just is dentist aversion based. But if I am, okay, fine. You make sure to brush your teeth. I remember last time I went to the dentist, I just forgot. And I was in a hurry. And then I'd show up there and I'm like, they must think I'm just the lowest of lowest. Like they put it on your file.

Yeah, right. Right. They put it on your file. Like, you want to know what. dentist say about you when you're not. It's kind of like going, if you go to get bany petties, like what they say about you that you don't know what.

Like you don't know what in the file. I was like, oh, this guy, this guy doesn't take care of his self. Oh, his wife must be thrilled. Look at these teeth. What do you? Between that and then I'm nervous like breathing. When they're working on my mouth,

I'm constantly thinking, okay, they don't want me to keep breathing on them. So I try to breathe through my nose. I think that's the way. I think that's what they prefer. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. And I was, but then I kind of reached the point where it's, they know why I'm here. Like if my breath stinks when I'm at the dentist, like that's the one place my breath is allowed to stink.

Like that's the one. As a matter of fact, that should be the stinkiest day your breath ever is is the day you're at the dentist. Right? Just go, this is why I'm paying you to torture me. So that, because of this. because if I have good, if I have clean breath when I go to the dentist, why am I going? Yeah, it should be, yeah. Right.

Like, it's like it's the thing. So if we have dental professionals out there, let us know, are we supposed to, because then you're afraid does whistle? Like, like, because they're breathing through, you know, right? That's why they were masked. They were masked for a reason. But that's, I think it's fair. There was a comedian.

I don't remember who it was, but they had issue with the dentist. And they said, because of it, they would do the opposite of what most people do. There's a portion of the population who, you know, you rent extra, right? You prepare for the dentist. Oh, yeah.

It's kind of Anthony Smith was telling me that he had a house cleaners coming to his house the next day. So what did they do the day before? They spent the entire day clean. They spent the entire day cleaning before the maids got there. Right? So they don't think, Neanderthal.

Like, right, it's terrible. But the comedian said this, if I'm going to the dentist, I'm going to give them the, I'm going to give, they're going to earn their money.

So he would eat Oreo cookies. Oh, man. Right before, right before they went to the dentist and just like, here you go. This is, this is,

This is it. This is me. We're all going to be a butterfinger. He's really scared that dinner's like, how long has this been here? Right. Because there's and there's that thing, right? Because there's a part of you that is extremely afraid of what they're going to find. Right? Because they're cleaning. Stephen Wright. Yes. Yes. Thank you, Scott, in Minnesota. Yeah. I miss Stephen Wright. Right. Stephen Wright was so funny. But yeah, you're right. It's, that's a big part of, going to the doctor or having people in your space is they start to see, you know, how you live. And then, and you think at some point, like,

this could end up on the internet. Like, it's going to show, like, one day, Bach's going to become, like, ESPN famous. And some dentist is going to go, yeah, but that guy, he does not take it. His mouth is horrible. You know, like, cavity's that guy. Oh, my goodness.

Like, that would be, and that is the great fear. Like, you go to the doctor, right? and that they're making notes. They're making notes. Hey guys. DP gained three pounds since the last time we saw him. I don't know what's going on in his life. Make a decision.

And then they're judging you, right? Because we're here talking about food. They're like, yeah, that's probably why. That's probably why. So it is, I'm glad I'm not the only person that feels that way because you're right. This morning, you brush an extra 30 seconds. rinse you rinse an extra 15 seconds like okay let's tighten this ship up right like i'm not going and has anybody ever gone to the dentist and had them tell them you you seem to floss enough you do

well with flossing no it's always hey you just need to floss well never in the history of dentistry he went you know what what you're a fine example you're our poster child as a matter of fact we'd like to do a poster of you and your teeth yeah because you sir you sir you are except And I would think that, and check me if I'm wrong. But don't you think that women take better care of their teeth than men do? I think more often than not, yeah. Right? Like, but here's the thing.

They take care of their physical appearance in general better than men do. Right, like, that's a thing, except I happen to those women that, like, I think that men are pigs, basically. until you meet a woman who doesn't clean her house. Because, or her car. Like when you see certain people when you meet them and the first time you get in their car. Oh, yeah. And you go, oh, oh, you're her.

We have found you. You are the missing link. The missing link has been found. Right. Are you a clean car guy? Oh, I try to. I mean, it's harder with a child now, but as much as I can be, yeah. I think that is the bridge, right?

Yeah. That if you aren't a parent, your car has to be clean. Like your car, like, it should be. It's a representation of your out, you know, outward self. Well, because you see the car before you see the person's house. Yeah. Right? And we, we fully understand that Bach, fashion back to the first time your wife saw where you live.

right and you went right and you just you have to go okay this is it well and i thought it was clean and then i've learned over the years that it wasn't as impressive as i thought it was like i think that's when the relationship really begins right right the first time she like the first time she looks at your towels oh yeah right like you have hotel towels what do you do what do you do what kind of decisions are you making in your life and then And there's two type of women. There's the type that will leave immediately or the type of say, no, no, we're going to fix this.

Like, we're going to fix this. When I come back over here, I'm going to bring you a set of tiles. Matter of fact, I'm going to bring you two sets of towels so that when you, the first set is dirty and you refuse, just put it in the laundry bag. Do not keep using the dirty towel. Put the second set. I, listen, the first time I met a woman who brought me an extra set of sheets and comforters, Bach, I didn't, I didn't know how to process.

I didn't know how to process. What is happening? An extra, wait, replacement sheets? What are we doing? So that's, I think that's the thing until you meet somebody who doesn't. And then it's, it's its own thing, bro. It's its own thing. We'll understand the process.

Yeah, but you're right, though. I'm still laughing at that. Bill and Bennett says, DP, thanks for reminding me. I have I have to pay for a paying appointment with my dentist in two weeks. Yeah, I, that's the other part. Why are we paying for this?

Why are we paying to be tortured? That's for your teeth health altogether. Very important, actually. When they tell you, you know, all of your, all of your health can be found in your mouth. Yeah, connected. I don't need to know that.

I don't need that kind of pressure. I don't need that kind of pressure. Eric says, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You can have two sets of sheets. Sir, Eric, you know, listen, we're on it. We're transparent here, right? We're amongst friends and family. This is why we're here.

This is therapy in midday. We know that when I'm here at one-on-one, again, Gump family rules, you're never quite sure what you're going to get with one-on-one. We will go down any rabbit hole and stick. Like we will go all the way down a rabbit hole. And in this therapy for people, for the women out there, feel free to chime in and correct us if we're ever wrong.

But for the men who have experienced a woman who doesn't clean her house, there is a mental meltdown that men go through because we don't expect that. And then if you get in a single mom's car, you expect it. You know what? She's going through something. Right? She's going through it by herself. Right. You know what? Good luck. My kid just dumped his goldfish the other day for no reason. Just all over the car. All right. Well, we can't clean that up very easily. But you're amazed at the number of places you can find the French fry. Right. Oh, yeah. Like you look, this is when I start to believe the French fries have legs because where they drop it, it's like, how did the French fry get?

under the front opposite seat and then all the way under the seat. Yeah. Like how is that even possible? Like you're three years old. How did this? How did you fling boomerang toss this french fry next to Bach next to the stick ship? Like how's that even happening?

It is amazing. Big B says, I think you can tell a lot about a person about how they, how they take care of their car. My car do not get dirty and I do not leave anything in my car. Kids aside. You're right. Like the kids,

and this is the thing. The adults, we like to believe that we are in control. Right? We like to believe that we are setting the standard for how things are going to be done in our space. Right? All right, young people,

here's what we're going to do. This is how this is going to work. until the first Sippy Cup, right? Bottles you can control, but when it gets to Sippy Cup time, you Bock, the amount of pure force that a parent can use

to tighten a Sippy Cup only to have a three-year-old child spin it open and spill the entire content over your new car seat. Yep. And that's when you start, you go, oh, you're an offensive lineman. Geez.

We just tried to, honey, we've got an offensive lineman, you know, and he found out the kid stronger than you, which is the other thing, right? How did you do that? How did you get that done? And you're right. It is a real thing. Old dad 30, says, yeah, going to the dentist. I just, again, I'm saying my appreciation publicly for,

this coming up and not having go to the dentist. because, you know, and here's the other thing. They immediately reschedule. Like, I went, I didn't even know I wasn't coming today. How do you already have like another appointment? Do you miss me? Like, what do you mean? Well, we have a two o'clock on this day.

I don't even I thought about it Like I don't even What I don't even know what I'm doing for the next two hours lady I so it is it is Did you reschedule? Yeah. And then they said listen I got the email notification

While I was on the phone with Oh yeah She didn't even let me hang up first Like your mind now like you get Set the stone. Yep like you listen those that mouth That mouth belongs to us now And you need to bring that

Yeah, it's interesting times. And then, you know, have you figured out, is your son a sports fan? He's starting to become one. Right? Does he watch with you? He's watched. When I take him to games, he'll watch. He kind of watches a little bit.

I think he's coming around. He's four years old, so hopefully he's coming around to it. But your wife watches with you. Yeah. Right? How does that work? What are the rules? What are the Bach family rules for, let's say that the Huskers are on, it's an away game, but you're home.

What's the rule? What's your setup? Is there a certain menu? Is there a timetable that you follow? Is there a volume level involved? Is talking aloud? Are questions allowed during the game or only when it's not live action? What are the rules, Bach?

I guess I don't have too many rules. It's pretty typical. Get the, you know, turn it on the big screen. Um, my son would usually kind of, you know, again, it's hard to, I mean, he's, he just watched his first movie. So he's kind of, it's hard to get him to sit still and watch anything. So he'll kind of tune in and out, but mostly go around and play. And then, uh, yeah, my wife likes to cook or get something ready. So she's less focused on missing every detail, every snap of the game. Of course, I am more interested. So yeah. Um, it's, it's, it's pretty much just me locked in and, and in the others,

uh, tuning in once in a while. Has your son heard you curse during a football game? I think so. He's repeated some words that I'd rather he's not before. I was told this. I was told this two years ago. It was two years ago. At literally at a Husker home game. And there was a listener who happened.

He had his family there. And he ran into me as I was getting on the elevator to go up to the media area. And he stops and he goes, man, I, he goes, I love listening to the ticket. thank you for all you do. Love the love all the talent. And his kid who, I want to say he was seven, seven,

I mean, he had three kids, but there's a little boy who was seven. And the little boy would just, as simply as he could say, because we're talking about Huskers. And the kid says, effing huskers.

And to see the dad's, complexion change. Oh, yeah. Like his facial expression changed. He became flushed, embarrassed. And he goes, Johnny! And he goes, well, that's what you say.

Whenever we're watching the Huskers, Evan Huskers. And he's saying it in, like, amongst the crowd of Husker fans. And half the people are just howling in laughter. And the other half, like clutching pearl. Oh, yeah. Like, oh, my goodness. And he goes, well, that's what you say.

So I immediately thought that's going to be the next shirt. Like that should be the next shirt, right? That we're teaching. We have to be careful because our kids are paying attention. And then you have to ask people, what are your kids taking to school on Monday after they watch Husker football with you? Right. Right? Like I think once you get out to the playground, those kids are saying some things.

Oh, yeah. They're testing it out. They're saying some things, you know, like I, you know, and the kid, the kid was, he was an Adrian Martinez fan. And, you know, he, he went through. And he, the kid happened to mention, yeah, Adrian better not fumble the ball today. And we're just, you're just, I didn't know whether to hug the kid, high five the kid, or, or just hug the dad, right? Because the dad is going through some things in public. All the while, the mom is just there. She's got the two other kids holding their hands,

and she's just shaking her head looking at him. But she is giving him, look what you did. Oh, yeah. Look what you did. You did this. You did this. So we have to be careful about that. What's the food of choice?

What's your game day, your home game day, Husker meal? Um, usually gets kind of changed. up a little bit, but chicken, I always like chicken wings. I mean, I don't think you can go wrong with chicken wings ever. Does she make them at home or you, you have a go-to? No, yeah, she generally will make them. Right. Sauce? I'm a buffalo sauce guy. Buffalo, mild,

hot. What do you? In between is ideal. I don't like too hot, but I like a little, a little bit of something. Okay. All right, all right. And then you're not much of a drinker. So what's your in-game beverages? I'm addicted to Dr. Pepper, and I try. I've been trying to to slow that down a little bit. I didn't know that. What's your number that? Like per day? At least, at least, you know, one.

But one a day. It's not you're not doing so. Well, depending on the day. Yeah, yeah. I'm kind of picky about it and that I really, I mean, it's okay. I mean, I'll drink out of a can, but I just much prefer, you know, the soda machine. So generally I'll do that and then, you know,

maybe depending on where I'm having it. I might. Better carbonation. in the machine. Yeah, yeah, I think it tastes right? Like, is it, because it's well, it's because it comes from the syrup. Yeah. Right? So you're not getting the pre-measured, you're getting

the syrup and sometimes in the, in the soda machines, it'll give you some. It might be more syrup. It'll give you some more juice. So it's, there are people, like, I've become that way. That whatever my beverage, whatever it comes in, I get, like, I have

a Husker, like one of the Husker to go cups from PBA. over ice. Oh yeah. And whatever that is, that's my jam. And I have become addicted to the new lids where you don't need a straw. Oh, yeah, those are pretty nice. Like I, fuck, I'm obsessed with that.

At least you trust them. That's my only problem is, I don't know. You're like dumping it. Well, but that's the whole, you know, juice kept thing, right? Yeah. Like the degree, the amount of force you put on that top tells you how, how strong you are as an adult. It's a thing.

John of Corle, portion control. Listen, it, it's a part of it, right? It's a part of it. Dave Braska says this. He says,

Donna Brasca neither watches or goes to games with me anymore. So I'm pretty sure the word, the word soup that it, that goes on in the, and the Debraska house, like he's letting folks now. But then that's why who you watch the game with is important.

Because if you're, if you're a saucy, language person, you have to find another saucy language person watching the game. Otherwise, and who you're around. Because at Memorial Stadium, the likelihood that all 90,000 plus are going to be

saucy language folks? No, not so much. Not so much. We'll toward the break. More one-on-one when we come back.
