You're listening to One-on-One with D.P. Brought to by Canopy Street Market on 93-7 The Ticket and the Ticketfm.com. Oh, man. Yeah, Bach, that's a real thing. Shout out. We're thankful for the Hall of Fame, Hall of Fame black shirt to Relfare. Yeah, absolutely. He just came in to offer to buy lunch.

We are, we are grateful. You know what, and I'm grateful for him, especially. Because, again, I'm not supposed to have favorite. people who work here. But I don't know anybody that shows of work just in absolute joy every day. Like, what an honor to have a good human being

just show up and want to do this. And that's an important thing here. Bach, what's my favorite thing about people who work here? What's the first thing I require? We at least need attendance, I guess. That you want to do. That you show up to work like you want to be here. I don't want anybody to come in and feel like, oh, I got to go to work.

Come and do this thing we get to do. I don't want it to feel like work. And we try to, you know, kind of create that environment. So I'll ask the textures just because I just asked Bach this, there's a thing that when we were, when we were kids, so in Virginia, when we were kids playing little league basketball. So it's ages 9 to 12. And so they had a 9 to 10 league in an 11 to 12 league, but if you were a really good 10-year-old, you could play with the 11 and 12. But if you were also on those teams and you weren't one of the five best players, they did a thing at halftime, and they literally called it the halftime game, which meant you weren't very good, quite frankly, or you weren't good enough. And our leagues

were very super competitive. But if you, you know, that could be. your time shine, Bach, you know, like those halftime games were meaningful. But on the other hand, the moment you graduate from the halftime games and the coach is going to put you

in the regular rotation, oh, oh, Bach. Oh, it brings a tear to my eye. It's just the day that, you know, they, he would call out the halftime game, right? Because I think our games are pretty competitive

and it's like, well, here's the five or six. And God forbid there were six. Like, because if you're number 11 or 12, right, which means even in the halftime game, you didn't get to play. So some coaches would just go, no, we're going to, we're going to cut the line at seven. And in the back five, you go play in a halftime game

because that means you're probably not going to play in the game. But it was a mark of shame. because if your if your friends saw you playing in the halftime game it's like did you play today yeah i played at halftime oh oh bach bach oh man i'm sorry bro i'm sorry so yeah it's the thing um we will uh reach out anthony's lion hushman at surgery um simplicity that he's he had surgery on his on his sinuses um and the recovery he went back for the follow-up today he sent the picture back i'll share that picture with you so you
