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. We were having some fun ticket rung, ticket mania. I don't know, like we can't bury the fact that Jay Foreman, Eric Strickland, I'm on green. They're also going to join this thing, right? Yeah. Farley. who's the most dangerous of the three?

Probably a mine. He's an alien. I keep saying it. There aren't many physical specimens like I'm on green. Like I think that's the one, right? That if you had to pair up with somebody to get through this thing, to get to the final three, who would you choose? You get one other talent member to partner with to get through the final three.

Probably Jay. I think I knew him better because we was coached. You're a linebacker. Yeah, we was coached by the same. Like you got code words you can use. You got schemes. You can run stunts. You can run some tricks out there.

Like, yeah. Like, y'all know how to maneuver big dudes. Y'all know how to get around, right? Yeah. Bach, who would you team with? Again, I'd probably go with Carrier because he's, you know, I work with him every day. And he also, you know, I think he's the favorite for the event. He'd help me.

just hide behind him and talk trash and come out once in a while and get a sucker in here and there. Bok punching from behind character. You see, my Fasbuck just threw away three, four years. He really did. He really did. Hey,

you didn't pick me. That is hilarious. That is hilarious. He really did. He was like deuces, bro. Love you, Farley.

I had a character. I worked with him first now. Oh. You don't come in to one now. He's just, he's pretty big. He's a pretty big guy. Bill and Bennett says, an all-ticket, Royal Rumber and Knockerball would be awesome.

Yeah, but I don't think Addo can fit in a knocker box. I don't know. We have to call. We have to call. I don't know. He just has to be wrapped with some Saran wrappers. Some bubble wrap. Can he fit in the?

Yeah, I don't think he can fit in there. I don't know that he can fit in there. I don't know that he. I don't, he and Ralph? Yeah. He and Ralph? Yeah. Has, has, has Ralph ever done knocker ball?

No. Can we? He's too tall. I don't know. His head, his head, his head, his shoulders, his head and shoulders will be outside to knocker ball. Yeah. It doesn't.

That would be fantastic, though. I think that, that could work. Somebody suggested a ticket to Olympics, but I think we would have to, it would have to be remedial Olympics, like a 20-yard dad. Yeah, 25. Yeah, listen, listen, hey, look. High jump four two. Right.

No, we could have a standing bra jump. Yeah. But it would still be into sand. Oh, yeah. Yeah, like we could have the standing bra job, but we would have to. Bach, have you ever done the standing bra jump? No, I don't.

You didn't do it in high school? I don't believe so. That was not a thing? Like the president, remember the old presidential awards? Yeah, yeah, in like middle school. Maybe we did. I don't remember. too well. I remember I could barely clear those

the hurdles, though. I had to jump over and funny. I was not a track yet. You see Bach over there two foot in the I saw video. Was you one of those kids that fell out the monkey balls? I used to be. I tried to do pull-ups a few years ago and it opened my eyes to how

much easier that it is a kid for some reason. I was a kid, you just do 10 pull-ups and all right, we'll jump out. You're only holding 35 pounds. now I tried it the other day or, you know, a couple of years ago, because I don't even remember recently, I could get maybe one, two. Would your son beat you in, in Calisthenic?

Hopefully. Right. Probably would. Farley. His son, his son's staring at Bach. Are you allowed? Bob, your son's like four years old. Yeah.

If he could beat you then. Bar hang. You must be a lazy day. Bar hang. I'm sorry. Bar hang and pull up. Bar hang. How many?

How many? How many ticket listeners think they could actually beat their young people in bar hang push-ups? Barley, could you beat your sons in push-ups? Yeah, I only got one. But, yeah. You beat him in a bar hang? Oh, yeah. Still got it.

Yeah. Okay. He's not me. He's just half of me. That is some old Southern black gospel you just gave. Like, people don't even know. then Farley just let you all in on a secret. Yeah.

Like, we... I don't know about the other 50% of it. Right. Like, I don't know if he's like 75% me or... Right. Look, man. Like, he might be 60, 40. Yeah, you know, we're trying to figure out.

But the look, make it more 60 on my side. Yeah. Yeah. You know. Dominant Jean, bro. You try to get that dead. I think that's fantastic. Brock, can you do that test for us? Like, can you, can you?

your son do a bar hang? I could try. I mean, like I said, he's four here at the end of the month. So hopefully I can beat a three-year-old in these things, but I don't, I don't. Not sure. I don't know. I think I could do bar hang. It's just the pull-ups that caught me off guard.

Isn't it? I mean, I'm at the, listen, I'm at the point where I have written, fully written off every athletic skill that I have. I'm 62 years old. Like I, my, my daughter said, dad, you're your grandma's age. and I was like, wow, I am. I am. I can't do this like literally that we were down to the complex and a part of me wanted to jump in the ring, right?

Just punching bag on. No, sir. No, sir, Farley. Are you a punching bad guy or are you? Oh, no, I'm not even that guy. I don't work out. I don't, I don't. Well, he said that so casually.

I know he's not a workout. One of the best athletes we've ever, we've ever encountered, and you don't work out. I walk a lot. So that's why I just choose not to lift weights or. I'm not mad at you. I just pushups. No. Just not, my body doesn't feel like doing that anymore.

Look, I'm with you. I'm a member of that club. I got the card in my wallet. I mean, if I can keep the bottom part of my, my body happy, I'm not even worried about the top. He says he's got three Ws and weight lift. walking wave walk out I'm not wave

walk out the 3W when when did when did that happen age wise when did that happen when did that happen what's that when you like stop running probably 30 20 just stop running it's like no I'm dumb well I had to run off with my baby because he was your job right my son took off one day that put me to the test I still had it but I say around 30

it's a thing i mean bach you're still hooping yeah are you full coop full court hooping yeah or half court no we're four court are you actually running the floor uh for the most part again i'm more of a three point shooter so i run between the three guard the three Bach is your close-out defender. He tried to get... Last line of hope. Look, if they pump fake Bach, there's no...

Like, you are on your own down there in the paint, man. It is a thing. They said that Bach is a sniper from deep. It's at that thing. Like, we just... I try to put it in perspective because we talk about... Like, the guy who was talking earlier about Bryce Williams

and can he play the whole game? When we talk about... today's athlete, they're more athletic than we were. And it's honestly, we, I have to be careful in talking about today's athlete. If you, there's a young man I know, he's 6 foot 6, he's 16 years old, 6 foot 6, 255 pounds, runs a legitimate 4754. We didn't have, I don't, I didn't know anybody. like Lawrence Taylor

wasn't putting up those kind of numbers. So Farley, what do you, when somebody talks about today's athlete? Are they better, stronger, faster, not? And it's okay to say they're not. Well, I agree with you. They're probably more athletic than we are.

But we've, we've been through the hardness of our sport. They don't know about two of days. They don't know about three of days. they don't know about going out there at 110 degree weather just for practice, just for a passing league. So we did that in the summertime. Their ability, I mean, they're natural-born freaks.

Like I can say that because some of them, you can look at the 40 times the big guys run in the combine. Defense of end, 666-260, 4-47. I mean, you don't, you don't see kids that big. I mean, Ty Robinson. Yeah, 4-8-3. 4-840 by a 300-pound man. Yeah.

A legitimate 300-pound man. You know, I just think we're more. Savvy, moxie? We have more moxie? Yeah, we have more pizzazz to us, more, more. Like, we understood. We had a lot of more fighting us. There's certain, I would say that, that, that, that,

we didn't, we don't get roused. rattled so easy. They get rattled a lot early. And we don't know when they get rattled. What are they capable of doing? The great movie comp is Rocky versus Draga. There is a thing to toughness. And not to say that Drago wasn't tough. But technology and advancements in the, you know, better food, better rest, more awareness, right? I mean, I'm going to remember the Titans do. And they tell you, water makes you week. Yeah, if a coach said that now, he'd be fired.

Oh, yeah. What is paying French bread? You, you sir, have to leave. So is that, I mean, is that the thing that when you look at today's linebacker, do they have, do they share your IQ? Do they watch, do they have a better understanding of the game than you do? Some do. Probably only 30% of them, though. Right. I mean, it's not, it's not a lot of them. And that's the standard.

Like I, as we talk about athletics now, one, people want to focus on money and technology. But my thing is the athlete himself. And I think coaches are more informed, maybe over-informed. Yeah. Right? Because you have so much data being thrown at you

that you can get distracted by the data and miss a talent like Farley because he doesn't fit some preconceived idea about what a, what an edge player would look like or act like. You could miss the boat on Farley. Because you go, oh, sizewise, Farley's a defensive back. No. No.

You can play a linebacker. You could miss that. And that's a big part of the conversation. So we'll talk about that when we come back. I got the black shirt and box. We got one more second before we're handing it over to the captain show. Watch live on Facebook, YouTube, or Twitch. You're listening to One-on-One with DP on 93-7 the ticket and the ticket
