please do please do um a couple of things so last night on on ticket weeknight a couple of really cool things happened one there was a conversation with joe bro's brother so nicole griffin and nick had a conversation and that if you go to the ticket fm.com or go to the ticket app and you can find that interview. Some pretty good stuff in there. And then we had, we switched the Monday nights with the Tuesday nights because the gymnastics team is normally on Monday nights, but they had a meet last night. And the women's basketball team has a game tonight. So we switched Ashley Skaghan's show and the Talking 10s show. So tonight we will have the Talking 10s. because last night at PBA, I mean at Devaney, they had a come from behind win against Illinois.

And how that happened, it's on the heels of Michaela Curtis winning the floor event and Kenzie Robey winning the bars event. So good work. Congratulations, Coach Heather Brink. And the entire team. And it was really cool because I went in last night and I sat next to the band. They had the, what's it called? The Big Red Express.

That's what the, I don't know. The Big Red Express. And my friends don't know. Like, the people who go to, like, a lot of Husker events say that the bands play the same songs, right? And they're like, oh, can you play a different song? But they play some Imagine Dragons, right? And I was like, okay, I'm in, I'm in a good place. People hate Imagine Dragons.

Right? Like, they. Which I don't understand. Like, like, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, get the room. They get the room moving. Yeah. And it was kind of cool at a gymnastics event to have that happen.

So I'll ask a list of how many folks have gone to gymnastics meets? Like how many have gone? I'm a little upset. So behind that show, we had the deep end. And so we had Audrey Coffey, who is an all-American. So she swims long distance. She's an all-American. she won her event last weekend.

It was actually a home meet. And then Reagan Hensie, who is a diver, she had her best scores. And then I found out a thing yesterday that's pretty mind-blowing, and it's funny how the universe works. So most folks know that I write and I put chapters together as part of a compilation group.

The book is called The Impact of Influence. we've done three. Fourth one is just being put together, right? So they're like, okay. So you start getting these, these emails from the publishers. Here's what you need to do. Here's the theme. Here's what you have to.

How many words, how this process is going to work. And in that, it sends you the names and bios of the other people who are going to be in the book. And I'm, you know, it's like, introducing so and so. And you're like, oh, who's this person? Cool, person. Yeah. And so Reagan is from the woodlands, which is where I lived. And the school closest to my house is Conroe High School, which is where Reagan Henzy

went to school. Reagan Henzy's dad is friends with the lead author of the Impact of Influence, which is Chip Baker. And he's been on the show at this station a couple of times. I'm rolling down a list and it says, hey, meet Deirdre Hensie. obviously no relation, right? Reagan's mom. So I said,

what's it like two and a half degrees of separation? I'm like Reagan, you and me and your mom are going to be in the same book. It'll be released, I believe in June. But I was like, and then I think if I read this, if I read the email correctly,

her uncle will also be in the book. So her mom is a very, very successful high school basketball coach in Houston. and her uncle is, believe, a very successful football coach in Houston. So, and I just kept going. Whatever. Well, right? Funny, right?

That two folks from the woodlands meet up in Lincoln, Nebraska. Behind that show is in the pocket with, and we've got two young ladies from the National Series here, Grim Maheha and Amara Smith Spates. Mara is from. from Northern Virginia. Her high school is like 30 minutes from my house. Keep going.

Right. So just going. Okay. Okay, universe. You're trying to tell me that we're in the right spot and that Lincoln, Nebraska travels. Like, what a great, what, what a coincid ink. Weird. That is it so weird. That all of these folks. measure up here. And it's pretty fun. Right? It's pretty cool to notice.

Now, tonight, from 6 to 7, Camp Chick, Bryce Matthews from baseball. They will have a guess. I'm not allowed to say who the guest is yet. I will let them announce it. And then, so on Monday,

this weekend, they were doing a lot of the media stuff for baseball. And so they do that thing where they have a camera and they walk up to a player, asked him some random question trying to get an answer in response. Team bonding. Mm-hmm. Kind of.

So they caught Bryce Matthews coming out of the dugout, and they asked him if there was any player on this team that you would not want to date your daughter, who would it be? Zero hesitation. And I mean as though this thing was locked in his hip pocket and his pants were on fire. He knew. He came out and said, Cameron, chick. full name not Cam Chick

Not just I got chick Not my guy Not my guy Not he didn't throw his number out there Nah he didn't throw his position He said Cameron Chick right away Smirked and started walking

Keep it moving Like I'm just gonna throw this bomb And drop this mic And then I'm gonna keep it moving So anyway I gotta do a show with him later Right and now so tonight I'm like Cam He goes Yeah

We'll talk about that on the show on Tuesday. Cam goes. I was to say is the special guest, his sister that he's not letting Cam date. Or Cam's girlfriend. Or Cam's girlfriend. It might be a discussion you might want to have. So there's that. And then at 7 o'clock from 7 to 8, it's Talking Tins.

Again, Michaela Curtis and Kenji Robey, who both won their events last night. champions. Yep. Won their event as Michaela texted last night, redemption because she felt like she let the team down at the last home meet. And she said, carrying the additional burden. So this was, this was big for her. Plus, it was her birthday.

So it's 23rd birthday. So like, hey, go ahead and celebrate. I remember when I was 23. I was not winning. I was not winning. I was not winning events. I do not. I was winning.

Yeah, I was winning events. I was winning. Wait. Was I winning? events? I was on we were actually runners up, flag football national champions, we were runner up, we were

Virginia state champion. We actually won the Virginia State Championship. And then softball, we won the Class D state championship and went to nationals. It was finished 16. But that was the humbling for me. I might have been winning events.

Yeah. It might have been my senior year, like super senior year. Yeah. You had the weird haircut so yeah well i don't know if that was that that was how that was why you i was in college for six years that was why you want why were you in college for six years i was in college i was

running you not know the rules did you not know the rules no my first year in college was not why did you need did you it wasn't it wasn't good well so i i i obviously redshirted yeah well it was the look on your face that said a lot that you were not prepared so you know i was i was in college for five years for you know i was running track and then that six i was like half a year so i was in college for five and a half years. This is half year. Half a year of no track. You ran against

the father and son? Yeah, pretty much. I was LeBron James of you. I was the LeBron James of U&K without the success. I played against, I ran against five father-son duos. Rico, Rico had three degrees. Yeah. I was like,

I ran against your dad. What? Don't question it. So it's yeah, so she had a 20-third birthday. We got a grandson in there? Right. Like, it's a, Well, they call her grandma of the team at 23. And I was just like, okay, all of you all need to just chill out.

That was, that was me. Yeah. Super. They're like, hey, grandpa. I'm like, please don't. Like, that's not necessary. You little 17-year-olds. God, they're so young.

They're so young. And then behind that, we will have the women's post-game show. And let me say this. I'm actually proud. I went to the game Sunday, and I had three or four different groups. of people come up and say thank you for doing a postgame show for women's athletics. Like to ponder and pause and say, and then thank you for giving the microphone to women within the Huskers program. I'd give them a chance to be heard and be known.

I was so proud last night because, you know, we were juggling back and forth. So we had the entire Skagin family. We had mom. The whole family came in? We had the whole family. Okay. Because I knew the whole family was he in town. I didn't know if the whole family is going to come in.

We had the whole family. Dad is a dude. Like there's no other to us. I mean, this dude crushes rocks for a living. Okay. Yeah. Does he make diamonds with his hands? Like, he could.

Like, you think at some point, I think he just decides whether he's going to use machinery to crush the rock or he's just going to stare the rock into. Honey, do you want to do diamond necklace? Right. Just picks up a handful of rocks. just the pressure of it all or just that he's just going to look at the rock until the rock crumbles i'm sorry sir i'm going to need for you to break that up right now i need you to turn into a diamond immediately yes sir uh and mom mom's elite like mom's fire mom's intense and it's it's purposeful and it's good like we sat in mark's office they were eating dinner because they they i guess

come from practice and then they just went and bought dinner and sat in the office and ate but to talk to them um then you understand how you have a family with with three upper level basketball players in like mom said all she said last night she goes well i'm the best score in the family she goes i'm the i can get the bucket the easiest i was like okay ma like okay ashley and her little sister kair is you know they battle between who's the best shooter. But mom and son are having the conversation about, well, no, we're the best scores. And the younger daughter and the brother are both at Salt Lake Community College, or will

be a Salt Lake Community College, which is where Ashley was before she came to Nebraska. Again, small world theory. My CBA team in Salt Lake's in Utah played in the very same building that they all play it. Whatever. Like the Salt Lake Community College Activity Center is where we, the Snow Bear is in the Utah Eagles, played their games. I am done with you and your connections. I'm done with it.

So it's funny. Like I showed them last time. Like here's some pictures of me in the building. Like this is where I spent the bulk of my time. Like I'd go do my radio show. And then we'd go to practice at Salt Lake Community College. We usually practiced right after their men's and women's team. So we knew the building was our.

I knew the space and everything else. The brother, probably 6-3, 6-4 maybe. And he's got the look, right? Oh, okay. I could see, I could see him here. I definitely could see the little sister here. She's in a boot. She had surgery, so she's recovering.

But I was amazed at the journey. You tell the story that Ashley committed to Nebraska without having visited the campus. Because it was doing a pandemic. And right. So there she is in Salt Lake. Now, she tells the story of she literally took Pat and Penn and sent out emails and made phone calls to every program in the country to see if she could play Division 1 basketball. That's a lot.

Right. So she'd get up at 8 o'clock in the morning. And then from 10 o'clock from 8 o'clock in the morning, and 10 o'clock at night, she was just. just out calling and emailing Division I. Division one programs. Like this is who I am. She made her own tape. She made her own recruiting tape.

Put it all together. And then they told the story last night that she sent the email to Chuck Love at like 10 o'clock at night. And at like 10.07 he called her or he responded back. and then in another five minutes they were on the phone and they talked for like an hour and then she was like I bet and I asked us well like that's not normal no and she said no that was like the whole thing was

if I wanted to do this I was going to have to do the work which correlates to well this is how you become a top 15 shooter from Salt Lake Community College and from Oregon at the University of Nebraska. You simply will yourself and you put in the work. Like you put in the work.

So whatever work is required for that team to win, within the program, Chuck Love reached out and did the right thing, gets it to Amy Williams, talks to the parents, talks to Ashley. And remember that Ashley was hurt two of the three years she was at Salt Lake Community College. She was hurt. She didn't play. Now imagine the runner. that they took on this young lady that you're going to take somebody who played one year out of three

due to injuries and then they said well once you find out what the injuries are and you find out what she had to go through to rehab from those injuries it's an easy pick like it's easy choice and so the little sister's going through her now and the little sister said she had never been in PB when it was he had people in it's their head spun a little bit standing in and just going wow She said, wait a minute. Wait, this is amazing. This is amazing. Like, there are more people there for them Sunday than they're,

then she's played in front of it in her entire collective career. That's wild. Right? Like, okay. So then Ashley tells the story the first time she walked in the PBA. Now, the activity center at Salt Lake Community College is nice. It used to be the home of the Rocky Mountain Review, which was NBA's most premier and prominent summer league.

So before Vegas, Salt Lake City was the spot. That's where you went. That's where all the teams went. That's where Carmelo made his professional debut at Salt Lake Community Council. Right. And those baggy. Right. Jersey things.

Yep. So it's a nice building holds, I want to say it holds three grand. Maybe $3,500. Okay. And she walks in the PVA. and she's like, what is going on? This is more. This is what is going on.

She talked about her academic standing when the recruiting started, and they had to put her back to work. Now she had the high GPA, but the classes that she was taking wouldn't transfer the one she needed. So she had to get the extra work than they got to work for her. And they're telling the story of like, well, how do you, why would you trust your kids with somebody you have, Matt in that space.

And she said, a mom and dad both said, when we talk to Coach Love and we talked to Coach Williams, we knew that they cared about my daughter. Now, let that sink for a second, that they cared about my daughter. You're going to send your daughter from Oregon to Lincoln, Nebraska during the pandemic. There has to be a lot of trust in play. I got to know you're going to do right by me and my kid. Right? and speaking and said,

well, this is why this team is doing well. It's because the coaches care. Right? That's a little huge thing. And then, you know, talking to the two bowlers, right? So, Amaris Fates and Gwen,

Maya, Maea. Maya. So M-A-E-H-A. So the, I'm taught that you should break down each letter in it, each vowel in it, to get to its proper space in it. So it's M-A-E-H-A.

Ma'e-A. And what was also really cool was on the Facebook feed, her mom is texting in, combating in from Hawaii. Now, when mom chimes in at 10.30 at night and says, aloha. Like 10.30 at night here would wait. Right. That's like middle of the day in Hawaii. Right. Right.

So she's just chilling. Right. And if you get a chance, go and find their final segment or the maybe the next last segment where they talk about. And Amara understands, right? It's like, in Northern Virginia, you're very diverse. There's a little bit of everything. So it's kind of hate it. It's hard to hate everybody.

And you can't be unfamiliar with. anybody because everybody lives there but she said you know she had to learn to embrace her blackness like Lincoln has made her embrace her blackness be proud of it like you go wow like you forget those those parts of the story and she said she's learned to understand and be aware of cultural code speak that she talks differently around different people and I'm like well that's how you know you're you're on the game because I do it you talk in the in the dialect and the people that you're around.

But then when Gwen, we brought that up with Gwen, you remember that there are different Hawaiian dialects. They're a different word. They speak differently about it. And she said off air that, yeah, she has to be careful because she wants to use the language of her people, but that people who are unfamiliar with it will think that, think less of her for not speaking as they do.

And she's like, no, I speak as you do, but I also speak like my people speak. And I'm not less intelligent because of it. I would somebody think less of her for, like that doesn't make any sense to me. She told the story. If she was, if she did that and, you know, I mean, I can't say for sure if this is how it is, but you know, you watch, you watch some shows or you hear some people speak. like reality, whatever, from Hawaii. And it's like certain words or certain parts and sentences, they throw, you know,

things in from their, from their native language. And for me, I would just be like, okay, what is that? Like, what do you? What are you saying? Be curious about it. I wouldn't be like, oh, look at you. Throw it. Like, I'd be like, hold on.

Don't just move on. Yeah. What did you say? Right. And that, you know, if a British person said that, that person will be considered intelligent because they used a word that somebody was not using. but if it's culturally in a different space, you will think less of the person for using a,

and it's not slang when it's them speaking in their language as they should. People would call it slang. You go, no, it's not slang. It's the language. How you perceive it is the issue. And she said she has the cultural code, you know, adjustment that she has to make when speaking peer. She said it's good for her because he gives her another place and space to talk and share information.

But here are these brilliant young ladies, right? And they're carrying this with them. These are the only national champions on campus, right? In the athletic department? Yes. Right? Yes. And I'm still mad at them because they still haven't won their championship rings in the show yet.

It's too many. Like it needs to happen. Like I'm like, next week, you got to bring the ring. They'd just be dragging their hands. Yeah, like bring the ring. It's very heavy. You can't wear all. It hurts your wrist.

And you can't practice. Well, let me help. Let me help by carrying that. Just have a pillow. Carrying that national championship burden, right? So next week, they're bringing the rings in. Okay. But they're, you know, talking about their trouble.

Like, they got in three o'clock the night before from the, right? Like, they got in three o'clock. from from Dallas. Delayed flights and the whole thing and remember, they're still students. Yeah. So they're telling these stories and then the breakdown of

what it takes to be a bowler was nothing short of phenomenal. Just intriguing, I became more curious. It's keeping up with the technology, right? New ball core. How much, like she is,

we travel with 36 bags. Hold on. 36 bags. Excuse me? Yeah, 36 bags. That each player, you have to register the balls you're going to use in competition. So they can be measured, weighed and make sure they meet standard because people could cheat. If they don't check the balls, you can put a different core in there and then be more exposure.

That makes sense. Then you've got to have a ball, one for a dry lane, one for an oily lane, and you don't know the lanes until you get up on it. Right? Like, it's the technology behind, like, mind-blown. I didn't even think about that. Right. Like to go. I just thought you had, you had, you had.

I mean, I was like, you probably had multiple ones because, you know, you see some people with multiple bowling balls, but I didn't think about the whole, you know, the different lanes and the cores and all. I'm like, excuse me, that's a lot. Right. And then we were asking about, like, I'm like, okay, what do you call what you wear? Is it a uniform? Is it?

And she goes, yeah, it's a uniform. And then we talked about the thing. She said, well, yeah, you know, Adidas makes a certain shirt. Some of them have a material at the sleeve that is. quite uncomfortable if you're bowling you know you're throwing 150 balls at a tournament and this thing doesn't just rub right yeah it becomes problematic right and she said they said yeah and you know we have shirt we have we have pants we have shorts we have skirts we have scorts that was like you have squirts like you guys were yeah because you have the shorts under the you

got to have the shorts under the shorts I was like and they have to go through this process Right. It's just like, oh my goodness. I was impressed by them all. So again, if you guys aren't paying attention to the weeknight, you probably should. I want to bring Nick in because Nick was a part of the, he was here for the conversation with both of those groups. I really want to have that conversation with him.

And then there's a challenge that's in play and you both are involved. So we'll talk about that next on 101. Download our app by searching 93.7, the ticket in your. your app store. You're listening to one-on-one with DP on 93-7 the ticket and the ticketfm.com.
