It's time to go one-on-one with DP. Coming at you live from the couple Chevrolet GMC Studios. Here is your host, Derek Pearson. Brought you by Mary Ellen's Food for the Soul on 937 the Ticket and the Ticketfm.com. Hello, happy Tuesday, 5th of July to everybody out here in Blinken, Nebraska, 937, the Ticket, FM.com. I didn't almost forget the same. that we're in. It's fine. Honda Lincoln Hotline, Sarder Haven,

Text Line, 402, 464-5-6-8-5. Welcome in, one-on-one. Not with D.P. Rico and Nick, back at it again, welcoming you in. DP, probably not on vacation. You know what? I'm just going to lean into it. DP is probably here in Lincoln,

and he is taking a buffer day, just like everybody should when you get back from vacation. Before you go to work, take your buffer day. Don't come straight from vacation, back to work. It's a bad idea. Okay, then I look at yesterday as a vacation. So today should be a buffer day for us all. Give us the day off.

Mark, buffer day? Can today be a buffer day? Everybody had yesterday off, so today's a buffer day for everybody. It's necessary. Congratulations. Make sense to me. Buffer day for all. Shut it down.

Shut it down. We're going national. Today's the buffer day. We're going national. Yesterday was everybody's vacation. Buffer day. Today's buffer day. Always take a buffer day when you come back from vacation.

We're going to national. What do you mean? No. Whatever. He doesn't like that idea. Mark doesn't like that idea. Of course Mark doesn't like that idea. Mark's no fun.

Mark is fun. How was the weekend, Rico? It was great. I told Jay about it. I told Jay about my weekend. Yeah, how is orchard? I love fireworks. All right, first off, I love fireworks.

All right. I bought an $85 firework. Jeez. Totally worth it. It had 96 shots in it. It was awesome. Okay. So if you're like me, I break that down into how many shots per dollar.

Didn't matter. There was one that was $140 per shot. $146 shots for like $120. And I thought about it, but I didn't. Does Rachel get mad at you for buying fireworks? She gives me a budget. Okay. She also loves fireworks, but I love setting off like all the big ones.

She, me, my sister-in-law, my brother-in-law, we lied off the fireworks and it was a blast. No pun intended. But I didn't even think about that. But there was one point. I told Jay about this. I'll tell everybody. I'll let everybody know.

We had one of the smaller ones, one of the little boxy ones. It was like nine shots, 500 grams, big boy, real loud. About halfway through the shooting, maybe it would have been like,

that was like the last one. It fell over. Yep. And it shot one more into a ditch. Okay. It lit on fire a little bit. Oh, okay. That's kind of cool.

That's actually kind of cool, though. I'm not a big fire. I'm here for a fire. Luckily, father-in-law gave us a fire extinguisher because he knew somehow. Yeah. We hadn't done it before. It was like, you know, we've done this multiple years. We hadn't done that before. He gave us a fire extinguisher this time. We needed it. We used it. We were good. We were fine.

So I once lit a tree on fire. What? So this tree. Like the whole tree? The whole tree. I've never had a fire that big. Scratch that. So it was a, it was a crackling ball and a smokeball. So if you're like me, I tie the two things together. And just to see what happens. As you should. Because here's a lot. Because here's a lot. Because here's the thing, Rico. I could sit there and I could throw smoke balls or the little, like, ground blooms all day. I can just light and just throw. My favorite is the ground blooms that are, like, that shoot up in the air. Okay.

Or they, like, up in the air. See, so what we got the ones that, like, they spin or whatever, light up, and then they blow up. Ooh. So, and they're pretty loud booms. But anyway, so a couple years ago, I was at my uncles. They live out in the country or whatever. And he had just cut a tree down. but the bar, or the stump, was open, and it was, it was probably about six feet tall at the time.

And it was hollow. So, I mean, it was time to go. Time to get rid of it. So, me being, whatever I was at the end, like 10 years old, probably. That was like five years ago. Yeah, five years ago. So through the smoke, through the fireworks into the tree. Smoked up, cool, all that good stuff.

Then a couple minutes later, the tree starting to get on fire. The whole, the whole stump. Did he want to keep the stump or was he going to get rid of it? going to get rid of it. So I actually did them a favor. But sweet, because back then I wanted to be a firefighter. Did you grab a hose? Oh, I grabbed the hose and I put out that fire. And I thought I was the coolest dude in the world. You were like, yeah, prepared for my job in the future.

Little did I know I was going to be a sports talk radio host. Not a firefighter. Not a firefighter. Pretty close, though. Oh, is it? Yeah. Nice. We're pretty, we're putting out fires, right? Yeah, sure. Rumor fires? Rumor fires. We're starting rumor fires. That's also a thing. That is true. Not us. sports talk radio hosts are good at.

But no, I could sit there and throw fireworks all day long. Like a little bit of an insight into the pest of the weekend. People that hate fireworks. They are annoying. Because we have now had this guy two years in a row get mad at us. Really? For lighting off fireworks. And it's kind of ridiculous.

Now, I don't spend the money. Here's the kicker. Don't spend money on fireworks. Find people that spend money on fireworks. But then you're taking other people's fireworks. No, no, no, no, no, because you don't have to lie them off. Unless they're watching. You just sit there in your lawn chair.

But how do you light fireworks if you don't have any fireworks? Well, I'm saying don't buy the $90 fireworks. Why? They're fun. I spent, I think it was $20 this week, weekend, and it was enough entertainment. I bought a box, a box of smokeballs, and I bought a box of ground blooms. You know what you got to do? And in those boxes, they had, I think it was $72,

each. 72 smokeballs, 72 ground blooms. And that provided my entertainment for all three days this weekend. You got little kids running around?

Excuse me two days because we can't let him off on Saturday. Get the parachutes. It was too windy, though, for parachutes, Rico. It was too windy.

It worked. How did K.J. Like the fireworks? He was asleep. And he stayed asleep. Really? Yeah. That's impressive.

Surprisingly. Ellie, big firework. Yeah. She, big fan of the parachutes, big fan of sparklers. She thought the bottle rockets were fun but

when it got to the big stuff not a fan of the noise not a fan of the noise really so and she she kind of got scared when that one you know fell on its side yeah we had that happen a couple times

actually it didn't get to that it got close she was scared she was sitting with Rachel and I guess she was because again I was out there lighting them yeah she was over there and she was saying she was scared that the the red one was going to get her and that she wanted

She wanted her dad. She wanted to go to sleep. She wanted to go to her room so she didn't have to hear it. And Rachel was like, baby girl, you're still going to hear it. I don't want to hear it anymore. So I felt bad. Did you bring the headphones? No, the earphones?

No. No, what are those called? Earmuffs, whatever. The things that, but I feel like earmuffs were a winter thing. That you put on like the babies when you take them to like sporting events. Earmuffs? Headphones. It's not headphones.

What are they called? Don't, okay. You know what? You were no help, Mark. You look at us like you know. And then it makes us look like we think we're stupid for not knowing. Somebody on the text line will help us out. Somebody on the text line.

402, 464, 5, 6, say 5. What are the things that you put on the babies called? When you take them to sporting events that are really loud. I want to say headphones. I mean, yes, but headphones implies that their sound coming out of the inside of the phone. It's keeping noise cancelling headphones? Maybe. Well, they don't cancel the outside noise.

They cancel the outside noise. They don't have any inside noise. That's true. That's true. Somebody will help us. Whatever. We're idiots. We need your assistance.

Text line. So, here's something. Sparklers are dangerous. I don't know if you should let Ellie. I don't know if you should let Ellie play with sparklers. No. They're fun.

They're fun. They're not that dangerous as long as you're not a drunk dad at a wedding with surrounded by dry plants that are for some reason on a barrel. Google says earmuffs. I was right. Earmuffs feel like a winter thing. Victory. Earmuffs feel like a winter thing.

But yeah, sparklers. Sparklers dangerous. If anybody was watching, anybody was on social media over the weekend, you saw this drunk dad at a wedding just having the time of his life with some sparklers and some dancing. And then he lit some plants on fire. I don't know exactly what kind of plants they were. They looked like dry grass. I will say. I was relatively plumbed.

out this evening. Unplugged. This evening? Or, excuse me, this weekend. See? Plugged out. Plugged out. He was plugged out, folks.

Unplugged. See, I'm still unplugged. I can tell. Anyway, so fireworks for fun. A couple of the texts. Thomas and Lincoln says he's mad at me. Do we know why? No.

I don't know why. Nick, I'm also mad with you. Why, Thomas? You all know. How many texts we were getting? Is that my, okay. It's not update. You have to refresh.

You have to refresh it. For some reason, it's not automatically going. Now I feel bad. For anybody that was texting during old school, I apologize. I was wondering why I wasn't getting any texts. Yep. Yeah, it just wasn't. Yeah, I just wasn't uploading.

Anyway. I'm bad. I apologize to everybody. Rico's like, dang, we're not doing good radio right now. We're not getting any texts in. I thought that me and Jay were doing a great job, but nobody was texting in and I felt bad. Turns out a couple people texted it in. I'm so sorry.

You, Baldo says, did I hear. Nick only likes snakes and sparklers, that is not true. I said that I can entertain myself for hours and days on just throwing smoke balls and ground blooms and crackling balls. Like all those little things you just get in the bag, the pack of six, put them in your cup holder of your lawn chair, you just sit there all day, have a beverage in one hand, the torch on the ground, hold it, throw it, bam, you're done. You don't have to move.

You don't have to move. It's amazing. Axifoli says, same thing goes for boats. Don't buy a boat, get a friend that has a boat. That's all I'm saying. Find friends that spend thousands of dollars on fireworks. And if my friends that do spend thousands of dollars are listening, this is how I view you guys.

Shout out. He's using you. He's using you. Shout out to them. You're not really friends. I also know that they are not listening. Are they still asleep? No, they are not.

They are not asleep still. but find friends that spend thousands and thousands of dollars on fireworks and just finagle away into their party and bam you have a great fireworks show and you're part of it because you are a part of that group as sad as that is to say that way you literally don't just see your money blowing up but it's fun it is fun or you just get you know family that has a lake in their own boats and jet skis

and then you're good that's true That's where I was the beginning of the 4th of July. We were out in Central City, and it was awesome. It was extremely hot, but it was windy, and it was nice. Yeah. And then the wind died down. And then it wasn't nice. It wasn't pleasant.

Then it was not nice. Tom. But I was in the lake a lot. I had to swim out, not to the middle. It wasn't terribly far, but it was farther than I have swam in a while to go get some floaties and it ended up floating away due to the wind. So you forget how out of shape you are until you have to swim somewhere and you can't touch. somewhere and you can't touch the ground. Okay, yes, that's true.

I went to a lake party on Saturday night, and my revelation there was that I realized I'm decent at beach volleyball. Beach volleyball. I'm decent at sand volleyball. So if anybody needs a sub for their sand volleyball leagues... I don't believe you. That's fine. You know, we'll be able to clarify this.

Yeah. Because Nathan was also part of that. Okay, Nathan's going to lie for you. Nathan's going to lie for you. No, he will not. Yes, he will. Nathan would lie for you. So the teams.

Nathan. Nathan would nigh for you. Nathan would lie for you. So the teams were me, Nathan, his girlfriend, Carly, and then my buddy Micah. And we were playing four of our other friends that actually, once again, they have a lakehouse. So we went over there to watch the fireworks. There you go. Friends of the lake.

And the boat. And so we were playing beach volleyball. We swept them. three sets to none. Yeah, maybe they were bad. That could have been, but also we were actually setting and bumping and spike it. It was kind of volleyball.

How many kills did you have? I had more assists than kills. That's what I thought. Because, I mean, come on, look at me. I'm not very tall. Maybe you'd be able to get a little bit up there? I got a couple. I got a couple. I bet Carly was leading your guys' team. She was from the back row.

Carly was on the back row. I bet she was owning it for you guys. No, surprisingly, Carly was on the back row. And when I tell you that, we were going, you know. So you're telling me that Nathan did most of the work. Most of the spiking work. Was Nathan above the net? Yes.

Yeah. So it was me and him in the front row, Carly and my buddy in the back row. I don't believe this for a saying. I'm telling you right now, well, I can't wait until this afternoon then, because we're going to be able to clarify this. No, I need to ask Carly. I can't ask either one of you. Why? You would both lie about your athletic abilities.

We played well. We played well. And then this older man, Kate got involved, and he had actually played in leagues. Yeah. And it was unfair. We lost. Yeah, we lost. He was firing bullets.

Claytonia John says, Nick, I don't believe you either. Thick can't jump. Thick list doesn't have ups. Thick can set, though. Let me tell you, Claytonia, John. Texas Jeremy says, I don't buy a, I don't buy beer. I hang with bros that don't want to drink alone. So if you're not picky about what to drink, it's not bad.

There you go. We get to try all the crappy beers this week, Rico. We do once DP gets back in the studio. DPs back tomorrow. Yep. Are you ready for that? I think so. I'm interested.

There's going to be a lot of cool stories. Oh, yeah. I didn't get to watch UFC this weekend, but I, uh, I know that it's going to be a lot of cool stories. I don't know how this unnamed texture is, but I have an idea. Yeah. I saw that. I'm not reading that. I wanted the first one.

This unnamed text says, can you talk about the Jets, please? The Jets suck. End of discussion. Hold on one second. Why would we talk about the Jets? What is there to talk about the Jets? Who do they even have? Huh.

I don't have that phone number in my phone. Oh, so maybe it's not that person. And then they seem like they might know Mika. Mika is a natural athletic freak. I don't believe that for a second. I don't believe that for a second. He's old. He just got a torn labor and replaced you. I mean, he's out of commission.

He's only 24. though. But, um, okay, so then Willie says, Willie says, if 24 is old, I am ancient. We, we all feel old right now today. Let me, we, we've, we feel old today. Uh, Willie says, no rotation, cheaters. We rotated. We rotated after the second set. We rotated. And we still won't. Yeah. I had, um, I think I had one service there. Like, it was, it was pretty impressive. I did the little jump serve and everything to the side. I tell you,

I'm telling you right now it was impressive it was impressive but that was kind of my weekend summed up in a couple things John and Cortland good morning youngsters hope you had an enjoyable holiday

you too John we did John appreciate it yeah hope yours was great in real talk hope everybody stayed safe had a good weekend got to if you got yesterday off

got to unplug a little bit stay off of the Twitters the social media I lost my phone for a little bit when I was at the lake See, that's pretty nice. That's what I'm saying.

Like, I put my phone away because, number one, I mean, truth be told, I didn't want it to get overheated. Yeah, right. So I put my phone away Saturday, put it away Sunday, put it away Monday. And it was, it was amazing. Like, once again, goes back to the bowl. I was chasing Ellie most of the time, but. Sounds like a good consolation price, though. Well, she had a little puddle jumper, and she kept wanting to go deeper into the lake.

And I go, you can't swim. We're not doing this. Have we thought about swimming lessons? We wanted to, but we were going to. going to do it last year. Okay. But it was still COVID-y. So even swimming lessons were banged because of COVID?

There were some places that weren't doing swimming lessons. We were looking for good places. That's unfortunate. Couldn't find a place that we liked enough to send her during the COVID-ness. So we'll see what happens. I mean, my sister-in-law is a lifeguard, and she does swimming lessons. Oh, perfect. If we just need to send her up there with her some more.

Is it the one I know? No. Okay. I didn't know that one. Although I think she was a lifeguard for a summer. Okay. Thomas and Lincoln says, Nick, I'm mad at you because you said it was supposed to rain over the weekend.

It was hot and humid during the wedding. I forgot. Thomas Lincoln got married this weekend. Hey. Congratulations, Thomas. And then he said, well, not surprised that Captain Thicky Thick stayed on the ground. Not surprised I either, Thomas. Come on.

I know, I know my athletic abilities. Thicky Thick. Chase B says, it was good fourth. My fire department only had one fire. That is good. That is impressive. I know there were two houses in Lincoln that started on fire because of improperly disposed of fireworks is what they said. Gee whiz.

He says what the headline said. Yeah. You got to make sure after you're done with them, we left ours out in the gravel road. We sprayed them down with the fire extinguisher and then we left him out there. So a fire extinguisher. Yeah. See, we just do it. But it's a fire extinguisher that you can refill.

Okay. It's just water and compressed air. So it works. High class stuff for Rico's father-in-law. Oh, yeah. You don't want to go out there and buy yourself a whole bunch of it. So it works. Look, it does a job.

It gets it done. David Brasca, if you don't learn how to swim, unlearn how to drown. Touching. Nice. Nice job, DeVrasca. Just don't go in water. Yeah, just don't go near water. So Sunday.

No, Sunday, excuse me, Monday on July 4th, went to Seward because I have family in Seward. So Seward has this huge, you know, all the, all the things going on because it's like Nebraska's Fourth of July City or whatever. Whatever it is. And which I'm curious how Seward became the Fourth of July city. Now that's not a knock on Seward. O'Neill is the St. Patrick's city. Really? Yeah.

It's the... If you guys know how these... Irish capital of Nebraska or something like that. If you guys know how these things came to be, let us know. 402, 464-5. Because I truly don't know how Seward became the Fourth of July city of Nebraska. However... It's a blast.

Every year. Swedish capital of Nebraska. Well, I know. I know they have check days in Wilbur and stuff. Yeah. So check days are in Wilbur, but Fourth of July City is ensued. They had a cornhole tournament yesterday that I missed registration for, and it's a good thing for everybody else that competed in there that I missed the registration.

Me and Jay were just talking about Cornhole with the Cornhole Championships, and they were talking about, oh, he's in the zone. And Jay's like, how are you in the zone in cornhole? Is it the same zone that Tom Brady is in? Hey, hey, hey, come on, come on. Cornhole. Cornhole is pretty fun. Like, it takes skill.

Like, yeah, you're in the zone. You got to figure out a way. Joey Chestnut, MVP of the weekend. Joey Chestnut broke somebody's neck. I was plugged in enough to see Joey Chestnut take out of whatever. A protester. A protester. And also win his 15th.

63? 63 hot dogs. Yeah. 15th. In 16 years. On crutches. Taking out a protester. While scarfing down a dog. That is, that is.

that is more than Tom Brady has Super Bowls. Come on. Is Joey Chesnut? This is the best athlete of our time? I was just going to say that. Is that the best athlete of our time? And the fact that he's not... With a bum leg, like you just said.

And the fact that... Come on, man. He played through injury. What are you doing? That's the flu game. The fact... Oh, my God. Joey Chestnut hobbling on crutches,

eating hot dogs is the same. Handshake emoji. It's better. Handshake emoji of Michael Jordan Flu game. It's better. Okay, perfect. We got it. It's better.

Take it to Twitter. Yeah. If you truly believe that, RICO, take it to Twitter. I will. I feel like somebody already has, but I will. No way. I have not seen that kind of, that's... I guarantee that's happened.

But you know what? I'll do it. Okay. I'll do it in the break. That's all I need to know. Because we're going to get to a break here shortly. Yes, we are. But, yeah, unbelievable that the guy's not 500 pounds either.

They just must puke them up right after. Well, he says he, like, doesn't eat, like, for, like, two days. after. That's just nasty. Like he's just like so full. He just doesn't eat. I almost, I was asked if I wanted to join a watermelon eating contest. You should have done that. I did not. Dude, watermelon on the 4th of July is just

perfect. But I feel like too much watermelon could, like it could be a thing. If you eat too, if you, it is, and water weight's not good, but if you eat too much watermelon all at one time, you're going to feel like crap. Same with like apple pie. eating contests and bubble gum chew well not bubble gum but same with all those contests

i think they're not stupid but you make yourself miserable so what about a pie eating contest that's what i just said it's one pie and there's one pie you just try to eat it as fast as you can you're not chewing it like and it's horrible man just win baby just win i need a flu game you'll never i need to figure i never have a flu game flu game i'll do it in cornel Oh, you have to be hurt first. And then you have to do it. That can happen. What are you going to do?

Like, spraying your wrist? I'll play beach volleyball. And I'll try to jump. Never. But thinky thick can't jump. Think you thick, trying to get off the ground. Thicky thick can't jump. It'll never happen.

All right, we're going to take a break here on one-on-one. Up next, a little ESPN Plus article. The biggest takeaways from USC and UCLA living in the Pac-12 for the Big Ten.
