You're listening to One-on-One with D.P. Brought to you by Beatrice Bakery on 937 The Ticket and the Ticketfm.com. Welcome back to 101. A couple of things. First of all, let's wish our own Bach. Happy birthday. Happy birthday, Bach. We need the Luke version, though. We need the Luke birthday song for Bach.

Do we have a birthday song? We have a birthday song for me. I think we have one that we played for other. I'm going to look. I'm going to look for it. I think there's one for me. And they just cut the part where it says, go there.

Oh, yeah, you did that. Well, let me, hold on. Right. So that's there. And you'll need that for next month. I'm just going to search birthday and see what it pops up. Yeah, you'll need that at some point next month. Yeah.

Well, not at some point. Go there, Eric. It's your birthday. There's an exact point. Text line, I'm going to need you guys to help me with this. Because, because there's a sport. there's all these weird sports, right? They're just a weird sport.

But there's, so there's a sport called fireball, where they play soccer, but the ball is actually set on fire. And so imagine that you're not going to dribble the ball down the field. For very long. For very long. You get tried. And for the goalie, the goalie is fully covered.

because, I don't know, they're kicking a ball on fire at you. And they're all wearing this, you know, protective garb, but the garb also catches on fire. So there's that. Then there's this sport called shin kicking where two people will, like, so they have these, bags and you have these pants that are cuffed at the bottom and you put hay

in the bottom of the pants like but the mission is with I guess the objective is to make the other person quit by kicking the mission until you know until they're done like they just tap out and go look I'm just done you're done like okay

I thought that was the weirdest one but it kept getting weirder because there's underwater rugby and there's underwater hockey. So the underwater hockey, it's a weighted puck. Okay, that answers my first question. And it's at the bottom of the pool. Okay.

And you have shorter sticks. So you have your people. And there's no goalie, but there's a goal area that you have to get the puck into. But you have to make the decision. Like, if you get a breakaway, do you have enough air to swim the length of the pool? Because the puck's not going to slide very far because it's weighted. It's weighted. So you can't just slap shot.

So you got to push it. But there's also no puck hog, right? You can't just keep the puck because people will just dive down and take you out and off you go. But also there are times when you have people go up to the top of the water and then the puck has already moved. So when you come back down, where is it? Where was it? So do you have to come back down in the same spot or can you swim back down? You can swim wherever you want?

What if you have a breakaway? You realize your snow and somebody just comes down. Well, one of the best players in the woman in the world is a woman who, you know, she tells the stories. They said, well, there's ultimately in time where you have to make a decision, am I going to score this goal or do I go up for error? And she goes, you always choose the goal, which means sometimes you get sick down there. Right? You get sick down there. The rugby, it's a weighted ball as well.

Yeah, well, of course. You know, it'd be more interesting if it wasn't. It's all these. You got a second layer of people to make sure the ball doesn't go all the way up to the top. Right. And then it led to the cheese wheel race. Yep, I know that one. The cheese wheel race where they have, would you?

I could do that. I can run downhill real fast. No, it's not downhill. It's literally. Oh, it's very steep. It's very steep. I've seen it. I can do it.

Those people don't roll well. Would Rachel allow you to do that? Yes and no? There were multiple people who went to the hospital immediately, like broken. They don't roll well. You got to know how to roll. People don't know how to roll, Rico. I know.

You got to know how to roll. There is a way to safely roll. Well, take karate. Apparently, they're not doing it well. But apparently the young lady who won the women's race is from North Carolina State. She's from Raleigh.

She went over there just to win this competition. And she probably did nine 360s getting down the hill. I think I could do it. Like full. I honestly. Did you watch the video? Oh, I've seen it.

And every year they post, I've seen it multiple times. I truly think I could do it for a couple of years because it was so bad. Like people were getting hurt. Because people were dumb. But did you see the guys? They showed the guy. Yeah,

Rachel just texted and she said we have insurance and life insurance. Go ahead and do it. But they showed, you know, a couple of guys laying there with their legs pointing in the wrong direction. Learn how to roll. Because there's a point. point when you're running down where you're going to like twist your knee. So you just got to take a couple steps and then you just give up and you roll. But you got to make sure you're rolling straight down because if you're rolling the sideways, you're going to when you decide to pop back up and take a couple more steps, you're going to be in somewhere completely different. You're going to turn your head. You're going downhill. It's so steep. If you go to turn or make any sudden adjustments while you're running, you're done. Or if you get bumped from behind. Be in the front. Well, but the person in front thinks they're fine until somebody picks up momentum behind him and clips them on the heat.

and throws them down the hill. Just make sure you're the right spot. Just be better. There is no right. There's a right spot. That's where the winner is. Bigampi says there's not enough log rolling going on in elementary PE class anymore. Why?

Injuries. Log rolling. Injuries. Well, that used to be, so wide rural sports, ABC's wide rural sports, that used to be like one of my favorite Saturdays. That's one of my favorite Saturdays because they would have the log rolling competitions or the log running competitions. where two people get on the log in the water.

One's going one way, the other's going to run, and you're changing direction. You try to stop it and go and try to throw them off. Like that used to be ABC's, like once a month, they would go to the log rolling. It was amazing. Kidova guy just told me to try and run down the tanker hill out at air park. I think you think it's a little easier than it actually is. No, I know it's extremely difficult. But I truly think I could do it.

Oh, we go. I got a low center of gravity. You got little legs. I do. And like some people mess up and they're like, I slide on my, like they go to fall and they're like, oh, slide out my butt.

Not a good idea. Your legs are out in front of you. You catch something. You're done. Plus, you're not going to slide very fast. Yeah, they tried. You got a roll.

There are people that were trying to do that. And then there are people that try to outsmart the system. And they set boundaries. Like, they would tell people don't even sit on the edge. Nope. Like, don't even sit on the boundary. Don't do it.

It's not good for you. I forget what the one sport is, where entire towns and villages are involved. It has a name, and I don't know what the name of it is. I have to look it up. But basically it's soccer, rugby football combined, where the goals are on a boundary of town, so they have two parts of town,

the uppers and the lowers. And literally everybody in the towns compete. But basically the job is to get, the ball to the goal three miles into the opponent's territory. But there's no room. And there are no boundaries and there are no rules. There's punching, kicking, biting. It's crowds.

It's crowd surfing. People at the top, people, you know, crawling down at the bottom getting stepped on. The ball could go in any direction. It can roll down in the creek and you have to do it. And people figure out going into the creek. you know oh nobody wants to be down here i guess i'll take the creek but there are people who will go into the creek and battle it out those are the crazy people you don't want to meet

somebody in a creek those are the crazy people indeed like they're those are the crazy people feel like that's a rule somewhere don't meet anybody in a creek well but but this is don't meet a stranger at a creek okay so wait a minute so there's a thing called chess boxing i'm sorry what chess boxing where you does that a mixture of the game chess yeah so the They play chess in a ring while wearing boxing gear, and then at any point, you have to get up and fight and then go back and try to recalibrate your brain. At any point? You can just random like, first move. Let's go.

Right, right. Right. It's just, it's crazy. This is, I'm, I'm looking. Like, I'm trying to figure, like, what is going on in the world? I bet no chess master would do that. It's a little different. It's a little different.

Did you do know there's a unicycle football? No, but now I'm interested. On a basketball court, marked with an end zone, etc. People, two teams of people on unicycles playing football, quarterback, receivers. On unicycles. Okay. Okay. Do you know this sport is blind soccer?

Or people who can see, but you wear blindfolds playing soccer. Sounds dangerous. Well, yeah, because you've got to have people like kind of telling you where to go. Somebody's going to be like, the ball's right here. They're going to kick and they're going to break someone's foot. Oh, this might be my favorite. Dude, I love all of the, like, woodworking competition, like sports on, like, whatever channel they're on, where they're like, it's the steel wood championships, whatever it is. And they're, like, standing on logs trying to saw them.

Or they have the one where they take the axe and they have to make, like, a little indent in the tree or in the log. And they put another piece of wood in there. Then they have to stand on top of that. they make another one, then they have to move that piece of wood and put it in there and they have to stand on top until they get to like the top of it. And I'm like, this is amazing. I couldn't do this, but this is great. Do you know that there's a sport card cardboard dueling? So all of your weapons, all of your protection made out of cardboard. Yeah, it sounds like lurching. But it's cardboard. You're slapping each other with like tubes of like toilet paper tubes taped together. Sounds awesome. And you can make your corporal boxes as your shield and.

That sounds great. We should do that. Somebody should make me and DP armor and we'll go at it. Cardboard, cardboard battle. I don't even. Straight up. I don't even. There's a sport called foot wrestling where you lock toes apart.

Oh, no, no, no. You have to lock toes, Rico. No, no. No, I'm not, I don't have problems with feet. Like feet don't disgust me or not like I could deal with feet But I'm not locking juries is a matter of that I'm not locking toes with anyone It's it's anyone

That is remarkable I got a lock toes with my wife Well they have the leg wrestling right I've seen that but this is toe wrestling No But it's one foot so you have one foot up in the air Because you can't have it in the ground Of course

And then you lock you literally lock toes Rico Nope I'll show it to you So they're just Nasty. Hold on. Wait a minute.

Go back to it. That's a ferret. No, no, this one. So, here it is. So you lock. That is disgusting. And then you lock the toes. It's like a hand.

Nope. That dude had super long toes. Right. Like at some point, like the people who are weird, find a way to do whatever. That's all it is. Weird people making up sports that they could be good at. I'm trying to understand. Disgusting.

Hey, Gus, that is actually what we were talking about. first is the European tradition of rolling a big wheel of cheese down the super steep hill. Yeah. And I think I could do it. So they called the sport Calcio Storico.

What is that? And it's just basically two teams of people with taped fists just punching each other until nobody's left. Okay.

Rico. And you get into a ring and they just, it's just a, and they're all volunteers. They're not paid to do this. That's, that's a bad idea. They're not. At some point, there's going to be like one dude versus like 12. These people. Crazy people who have always wanted to fight, but never found a way to do it because they weren't good professionally.

I don't know what this is. I don't understand. I don't know. Well, you can watch the video. We go to a break. No, no, no. So there's hobby horsing. This will be the last one before.

Hobby horsing. Hobby horsing where you know how you have the steeple, the horse steeple chase thing? Yes. So where horses jump over different levels and they have to circle and otherwise. It's humans. And you have a little broomstick horse that you have between your legs. And then you run and jump over. over the steeples.

And they do the full dancing. So they've got the... Have you seen the one where the people are the horses? They don't have anybody on their backs, but they're on all fours. This is totally a RICO sport. You're so great at that. Remember I was a hurdler.

Yeah, like this is what it is. Okay, nope, not doing that. Nope, the little dance thing? Nope, hard pass. We are so weird as humans. We'll come back. More one-on-one. Watch live on Facebook, YouTube, or Twitch.
