You're listening to One-on-One with D.P. Brought to you by Beatrice Bakery. On 937 The Ticket and The Ticketfm.com. You got to run to the ring and grab the ropes and shake them. The tweets that Carmelo has been sent. Oh, this is so good. What did you say? What did you say?

I said, I kept it simple. Okay. Said, Dear Carmelo Anthony. Ha! You did not! I did. Dear Carmelo Anthony. You're so stupid.

My boss told me he would buy me one of your Syracuse jerseys if you replied to this tweet. That's it. That's kind of lame. You should have went in great detail. I was going to claim. Well, that's what I thought. And then I thought it looked lamer. You should claim being his number one fan.

I was going to say this is one of the few jerseys that I need before I can stake claim to being your number one fan. Because right now I'm sitting at number two. Yeah. But I looked at that. I had it all typed out. And I thought, no. Tag on. Okay, so we'll see how that is.

I could look, he hadn't seen it yet. I can delete it. No, no, no, no, no, no. He's seen it. I don't delete tweets, though, so that's my thing. He's seen it. He's seen it. He doesn't acknowledge it. We were talking on the break, and again, the way the conversation came up was there

are certain people that, like, one, I'm not impressed by people unless they do something that I can't do. Like, people who do the stuff that I do, I'm not impressed by. But if you can do something, like, you can whip up with something. a seven-course meal, but from memory, I'm impressed by that. Like, I tell the swimming, swimmers or divers last night, me on a three-meter, no, no, no, you better do, like, I can do the pencil dive. She's like, what's a pencil dive?

And this is where I jump off of it and go straight into the water. Like, that's the only guy. I'm on my toes. That's the only die. And by the way, if you go and check out the podcast from the, from the gymnastics team, the swimming and diving team and then we had the bowling team we had two two young ladies from the bowling team do their pilot demo and the stories that were told first of all to have the bowling team talk about when they the moment they knew they had won the national championship

and to watch them glow of that moment where they pick up the spare and then Shannon Plotoski goes that that just did it we won't that moment and have them go back in that space to have the swimmers the young lady uh uh, Audrey coffee swims a mile swims a mile, right? And she was talking about they, you know, they swim 17 miles every, every day. I'm like, okay, first of all, no. Like I don't know what to run a mile. First of all, first of all, first of all, you are a different kind of human being than the rest of us because you are swimming. She said 17 miles a day. And then Reagan Hensie said, yeah, we, we do, we do like 100 dives a day.

What? What do you? So Aubrey's told me she said, and during the race, she said she's swimming. And she said for the first like 500 meters, she's kind of bored. Because she's just waiting, looking, like she's trying to burn everybody else. and she's just looking at the people around her swimming. And she's like, oh, that person's kicking too hard. They're going to die later on.

Like, they're going to drive. And I'm listening, I'm like, you are a shark. Like, this was, what? And then she said, yeah, that sometimes I get tired and I just throw up in the pool. Excuse me? Brough, I'm like these nighttime shows. They call me to. Y'all called me to arrive.

No, for Sean. This is like. In the pool. Like, she says, no, you just go to the air. She said she just go to the edge. And then keeps like whatever, right? And then Kenzie Roeby, she's on the gymnastics team. She's warming up for me.

And just she's practicing the vault and she's running down. And as she's three steps away from the launch, she feels her ankle pop. It's her Achilles. So they put her in a boot. This was two Fridays ago. They put in a boot. They're competing this weekend. She's competing.

in all four events. Are you hurt or are you injured? Oh, oh, she's both. That's an Achilles. If she's injured, she can't go. I don't care what you say. For Sean, this is what? No.

The thing is, even if you hurt your Achilles, like that's different. Yeah, if she tore her Achilles, right? If you strain your Achilles, you're one bad move away from a tearing. Yeah, she strained it. Or at least that's what. She could not complete.

You hear me, right? She's built different. Listen, and the throw-up part, there's football players that when we, there's a lot of us. In conditioning? Yeah, during conditioning and stuff like that, they would pop. But we would always have trash cans, especially for basketball, we would always have trash cans at all four corners of the gym. Because the first five days, we only touch a basketball. Like, we're just a track team in basketball shoots.

Right? Running lines. Like, we're going to get. Well, no, what we do is rerun systems, but learning the systems requires that you just run the floor and get into those things and you do them in the same game sequences that you would use. So it's a teaching mechanism, but you also find out who did work in the off-season

because then trash games become best friends. But I didn't know, like I asked the bowlers, like how many balls do they throw in practice each day? It's like 500. Can you imagine your arm, your shoulder after throwing... My arm gets tired after two games of bowling. I... 500.

What? That's a lot of balls. Vershaun, like, I'm listening to... I'm just thinking about the frames. You got 10 frames. You get... Just say you went two balls per frame. And I mess around and just get the super light ones after a while.

So, so 200 divided by 20 is what? What is that? 30... Right at 30? Like that's great. Like the amount of work that you're putting in. Something like that, 25. Imagine what you're doing a month. You're playing 25 to 30 games. Right. And so I was.

My shoulder hurts. Right. So I, right. So I, you know, and I went and said, again, the things I'm impressed by, the athletes now work way harder than we do for longer periods of time. Who are you talking about? So me as a college athlete, the amount of work that I put in and talk about my 100 swings on my own, my 100 reps in the outfield,

100 reps are shortstop, 100 reps running the bases, all those things. Compared to what the baseball players do now is nothing. It's a vacation. That's the off season. This woman is swimming a mile

and puking in a pool to keep you going. No? She said, oh, I got to keep going. All right. Versaul, we're going to hand it up. over and then the captain show is next. Don't go nowhere. Post up!
