You're listening to One-on-One with DP. Brought to you by Canopy Street Market on 93-7, the ticket and the ticketfm.com. Welcome back. One-on-one. Character's back tomorrow. So no worries there. And then schedules for the week will be according to. And as we head into our football planning and scheduling, we'll know more about it.

We're also working on getting the transistor storm repair done so that we can carry all the Royals games and NFL football that we want to. But folks have to get up on the roof and assess damage and make changes accordingly. So you get up there, you don't know. How was your storm experience? It was quite a, well, I didn't see that too off the trees were dancing like crazy. I here's my thing. So there are a lot of wins. windows in my house.

A lot of windows. And the windows, the windows took a beating. There were things smacking up against the wall in the windows. And most buildings in, in, in this area of Lincoln are old buildings. They've been reinforced, of course. But which is a whole other conversation, Brock, that shout out to, to the forefathers who put up these brick buildings in. the 1800s that still stand.

Shout out. Hey, man. Hey, hey, let me, let me just say that you folks, for the grandparents and great-grandparents that were putting up these buildings in Lincoln, that are still 160 years. And the buildings, so in my building, there are, there are, there's art.

on the walls of when the buildings were originally built and from there, from then until now, people have taken pens and paint and written names on the walls. Well, those names still exist in the building. And so I often sometimes go through, you go through and, like, I'll see a thing, then I'll get on Google to go and find out, okay, Lincoln, Nebraska, to tell me what this is. And these buildings all have amazing history. Amazing history. And then there's a, there's a, there's a couple of websites online that will go back to Lincoln in the 1800s, 1800s and 1900s. And it'll show just different clips of old O Street at various portions.

And I'm always intrigued, right? Always intrigued it. Okay. Oh, I recognize that building. Oh, that building's changed. Now, this building that we've been in has changed. several times. All you can do is go down the basement and you can see, hey man, this has been here a minute. And shout out to the people who were so good at their craft, right, that these buildings still stand. They stand the test of time. They test, you know, the storm tested it. It was throwing things up against the building. And you almost, like, I wanted to check the bricks in the building just to go, okay, are y'all okay? Like there are trees and rocks and things being thrown into it.

I saw a couple of pictures in Lincoln of power lines being thrown on top of power lines. We have several friends of the station who shared their pictures Saturday of trees being pulled, 100 year, 150 year or trees being pulled from the ground to the root, like just pulled up. something snapped in half, falling into cars, falling into fences, falling across the roads. It was that, you know, four o'clock dance party, it, listen, it was, it was, guy was having a disco, bro, it was, there was, there was all sorts of, uh, there's all sorts of stuff going on. Um, and then I went back to sleep to get up to come in early Saturday just to make sure everything was okay. and you saw just even out, you know, on O Street,

and in the haymarket, trees and branches and the animals being being rerouted and redirected. Yeah, it was a night. It was a night. 100% it was a night that, yeah. So I got a text from Becky. She was up on the roof assessing the damage. well because somebody had in order to fix the tower and the satellite and the transistor

all those things right you have to get up there have to have somebody get up there and so Becky was like well you know we'll find somebody I'm like go get Luke Luke you know he's used to being in those spaces um but I married a woman who would much rather get up on the roof herself and this is where you just nod your head Bach you just nod your head and go you go honey you you go you go because because your man's ain't going up there your man's they're going up there she knows what her husband is good at it what he is not um i'm afraid of heights so it would have taken an act of congress to get me up on that roof um but she has no no fear and no shame so bravo to that and again all for the greater good

of the ticket which again if you've ever met my wife she is all about everything good for the ticket So whatever needs to be done, she will do in that case. Anthony says this. We were talking about it in the previous segment with just youth sports, right? And just celebrating that whether it be Lincoln, Kearney, Nebraska as a state, has some great coaches, some people who are investing in the future. And they seem to be doing it for the right reason, right? They seem to be doing it for the right reason.

And there are folks who coach youth sports who aren't in it for the right reason. in it for my step my father-in-law would say this thing that you're in it great leaders are in it for the outcome not the income and when you find those people in youth sports or high school sports that when you find those people you need to celebrate those people the people who are actually investing in the community and he says oh my god t p preach it it's all youth sports uh drives me nuts, the semantics I get into about this as a coach in youth sports. It's, again, they're pockets for it. You can get into the specifics.

But to me, if you're investing in the youth, then they get to high school athletics and college athletics and pro athletics. The pocket in which you do do it and the reason why you do it, impressive. That means way more to me than the semantics of, of A.U travel ball, like you get into it. It's a mentally, it's a mentally lazy way to pocket, to put things on a spectrum that it maybe not exists as it should. That if you tell me AAU is about money.

No, AAU should be about investing in youth basketball. Youth athletes. That's what it should be about. high school, it becomes about the academics. So being a student athlete happens at that point. It happens whenever you start to put academics as the priority above the sport. Sports is the vehicle to advance your life, but it is the academics that is the priority in focus.

And if you do it well, you become a scholar athlete. Youth sports allows you a chance for people to identify, you know what? Where do I belong in this? Where do I belong in this? Am I teaching it for the betterment of my community? Youth sports is about the community. Winning and losing is a whole other thing for youth sports.

This is about personal development. It's like building these buildings. Corey and Lincoln says this. It's a shame that we don't build buildings like that anymore, DP. Yeah, I have an art buddy who talks about the architecture, the amazing levels of architecture in downtown Lincoln. that each of these buildings that were built there have some sort of other

architectural legacy, right, that the designs of the buildings were on purpose and usually far greater in detail and story than we know that there are, you know, French and Italian architectural tributes, like a tipping of the cap to folks who did it right in a different time. But a lot of the buildings,

I would almost bet that, well, I would love to know, quite frankly. Bach, do you know, like the neighborhood that you live in? Is this a longstanding neighborhood? Long enough. I mean, like many places in Lincoln, it was once a cornfield with just a few houses and it has been expanding over time. Yeah. Yeah, it says, and I remember finding it before.

but they were talking about some of the buildings down here in the haymarket and downtown and how old they are that you could still see you know names painted on the side of a building and that name has been there and I I was so in the building that we're in here at 1040 oh it's the old LES building and on the at the top of the building in the exposed brick, it still says LES. And several people, several people asked the question

and pose the question, well, when are you going to rename it the ticket building? Now, part of me was just, I don't want to rename it, but the idea of folks traveling who can see this building would be a pretty cool

landmark. Like, oh, there's the radio station. But then I felt like no, I don't want to disrespect the building. And I don't want to disrespect what it was before we got here. Now, we know, we got a 20-year plane. It's a better of being here a minute. But I don't know what the thinking would be.

Like, Bach, would that be offensive to you as somebody, as a native if we, if we, if we were to identify a thing like that? No, not offensive to me. I think it, well, I'm biased. I work at the ticket. So, you paid the whole building. That's why I asked you, but I, I mean, I paint the whole building red for me. I mean, I'm all in for it.

But, no, I do. I think it sometimes, you know, and everybody kind of recognizes this at a certain point is the only constant life is change. And so, you know, at some point, whether it be, you know, a change that we make or down the road, this building probably isn't going to last forever. I mean, that's just kind of. It's going to last forever. We'll be doing holograms from the ticket in for 30 years. We'll be doing, we'll be doing sports holograms.

We'll be bringing, we'll have all of that back. As a matter of fact, we'll be able to put, we'll be able to interview Matt Rule from wherever he is in a hologram and put him in the chair next to us. He might not be wrong. Like, we'll be able to, we'll be able to put him back down. to a post game at Memorial Stadium and just put it right back here at the station. Like we can put

the backdrop, all those things. Yeah. Who knows what sports talk will be. In the future, little did we know we'd be doing cable TV. It has all over the world. As a matter of fact, the ticket is

everywhere and greatly to appreciate that. We can't do a roll call. I would like to find out where everybody is this morning. It's starting to rain here. We're supposed to get rain all day, right? Is that what I saw in the news that we're supposed to get rain all day?

I don't know how much we're supposed to get, but it is currently raining in downtown. Lincoln, 1146, so you're Lincoln sports clock dialed more one-on-one when we come back to the ticket.
