Speaker 1 (00:07):
Milwaukee won in the one o'clock hour. Of course, this
two o'clock hour just came in. It's coming in as
we speak, so that the audio is not there. Refresh
the page. I'm refreshing. And there's a reason for that. Oh,
there's a reason. I want to refresh it to make
sure I'm not seeing things.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Are you serious?
Speaker 1 (00:22):
I'm serious. It looks like we're.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Back on the board.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Baby, Wow, let's go. We did it, folks, two o'clock hour.
I think we have a winner. I think we have
a winner.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Can't describe this feeling.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Come on, Matt, get pumped, get excited. Let's go.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
I'm juiced.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
I'm jacked.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
I'm gonna eat three pounds of ice cream tonight just
because I'm so happy.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Yikes, we need to get you. We need to get
you some HGH or something and see what happens. No,
you know, we ought to do that'd be funny. We
ought to celebrate this winter in style. Well, how do
you do that?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Give him a call, get him on the air.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
It's a her by the way, Oh hey, don't be
assuming stuff. Fair enough, fair enough, my bad. I'm under
the impression this is a woman.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Okay, Well, until it's confirmed, let's be tender.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Well we need sensitive, Well, we need the audio first
of all, which I can listen to. But after we
get the audio and they're still working on it, I
don't know what the hang up is here. I don't
want to be overtly excited without this actually like getting
done right now.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Maybe she was so happy she was dropping words that
they got to drop out of the audio before they
get it to you.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Well, either way, it looks like that's happening. And if
we can get that, and then there's an email that
goes to our company, like our building, and then it
gets siphoned to us, and then we have to reach
out to the person. It's not as easy as I
can click a button and now we can call this person.
But I think we got another winner.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
You think so.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
I just want to make sure for sure. But it
looks like we got another winner. We are money on
this show. You know what this is money.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
The game winning shot went through the hoop, but the
refs are checking out to make sure that the foot
wasn't on the line.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Here you go. Well, Kevin Durant twenty twenty one second
Round Playoffs, Game seven, Brooklyn Nets versus the Milwaukee Bucks, Tony,
I was on the line there, yeah, market zero dude,
forced ot, forced ot and the Bucks ended up winning
an overtime. That was a heck of a playoffs. That
was the last time I feel like the NBA playoffs
were excellent, truly excellent. You wouldn't agree because that's the
(02:19):
year that Trey Young went into MSG and knocked out
the Knicks.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
But yeah, it made me sad.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
The twenty twenty one NBA playoffs were excellent?
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Was that the Bucks and the Suns.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Yeah, the whole, the whole playoffs were so great. And
then Kevin Durant, he wasn't on the Suns at that time.
He was on the Nets, right, Yeah, and then he
goes to the Suns and tanks the franchise. It seems
to follow him around a bit, doesn't it. How interesting
for so much for being such a great player, am
I right? Right? Anyway? Funny stuff, we got Friday four
coming up. The I got I had this idea, and
(02:51):
you can you can tell me if this is if
this is off base, off topic, but now tell me,
this is the thing that happened in Detroit, and I
want you to tell me if you would take part
in it, or you would let your relatives take part
in this, or if you had, you know, three kids,
would you take let them be a part of it?
What is the one thing that usually happens this time
(03:12):
of the year.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Well, the way you set that up, I'm thinking it's
something to do with backyard wrestling. What Detroit relatives taking part?
Speaker 1 (03:22):
What?
Speaker 2 (03:23):
I can't explain it.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
It just sounded like you were about to talk about
backyard wrestling.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Why why correct me? I'm obviously wrong.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
What happens this time of the year.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Well, this time of the year, my stepauck going Randy
gets a big old backyard wrestling excuse me, backyard wrestling
tournament going, and the whole neighborhood comes around and usually
three or four people end up in the hospital, but
we visit them after the tournament and it's fine.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
It's not a big deal. Not everyone has to make
such a.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Big deal about it like they do every year.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Is there a weight class? Are there weight classes here?
Or is it like old school of UFC and everybody's
in the same pot We usually like to put the
big ones against the little ones because that's more entertaining.
Now there's more visits to the hospital. But is it
more fun?
Speaker 2 (04:08):
You bet?
Speaker 1 (04:08):
You?
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Okay, thanks and shouts out to my step uncle Ran.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Okay, then all right, so that's not what I'm saying.
What what? What? What actually happens for most people this
time of the year. What do they do?
Speaker 2 (04:26):
It seems like a good time to go in for
your annual could askar head on in and you know,
watch the wall, count the tiles and the ceiling. Stop. No,
that's stared deeply into a banal painting on the wall,
and think way too hard about it.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
That's not what That's not what people are doing.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I'm sorry. Is this why I've always wondered? Why is this? Why?
Speaker 3 (05:00):
No?
Speaker 1 (05:01):
What is it? What do people do this time of
the year.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
It's time of year? I don't Oh you meet it
a couple of days?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah? Oh okay, eh, you mean the you mean Snoop
Dogg's birthday or whatever? Is that what you're talking about?
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Oh? I was wrong again, dang it. I don't know.
You're not talking about Easter, right, because that fluctuates. It's
not always this time of year.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Sometimes last year is in March, which I don't know why,
by the way, Like, why is Easter fluctuating so much?
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Because this was a the humans do their thing, to
do whatever they do. I don't know. I can't tell
you the fact that Easter could land on any set
of like twenty six days or something. Probably not. I mean,
it's probably like Christmas, it's always the same day. Halloween,
we've got it on the same day, the fourth of July,
Independence Day, the same day. We can make Valentine's Day,
(06:02):
and we can make Saint Patrick's Day the same day.
But darn it, the president's birthdays and Martin Luther King's
birthday and Thanksgiving and Easter. We just can't lock that
thing down for some reason.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Thanksgiving it's like the fourth Thursday. Yeah, so that's gonna
fluctuate within a week. But it looks like Easter is
kind of just at Wheneversville sometime.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
What you do Easter is what I'm getting at.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Oh, oh you have a yep, right, I understand.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Okay, you go on a Easter d egg hunt.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Yeah, you got there, all right? Well now, oh I
just thought of it. Nope, say it.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
You have to say, no, I thought of a comparison
between colonoscopy.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
But it's no, that's not the kind of East drug
hunt you're looking for.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Dang it, I let the intrusive thoughts win.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
I did it again.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
This is my problem, This is why, this is.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Why, this is why what Matt, I'm not finishing.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Okay, you can't afford the copet I can't afford the cope.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Well, I have a story related to Easter egg hunts
and I'll tell you next on news radio eleventh kfa B. So, Matt,
Easter egg hunts. You did them, right, I mean you
were a part of some some Easter egg hunts.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
It was the last time you did one last year. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Yeah. I didn't actively participate, but I were at one.
Well I I did in the sense that I put
the eggs out and hit them and watched it.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yeah. You know, you can get real interesting with that,
you know, putting them underwater in it into like snake
pits and stuff. Ah, this is a children's actual Oh okay,
I'm just checking. Well, in Detroit they have have a
thing where a helicopter participates, and you might be thinking, okay,
is this uh what kind of hunt is this? Well,
(07:59):
it is the annual Great Marshmallow Drop, and they drop
marshmallows in the Detroit suburb of Royal Oak, Michigan. And
all these hundreds and hundreds of marshmallows fall, and kids
with buckets run out into this field, chasing after this
helicopter that drops sackfoles of these confections onto this lawn
(08:21):
and all these kids try to collect as many marshmallows
as they can. And uh, now again, got to keep
in mind that you're not supposed to eat these marshmallows.
You know, they're landing on the ground. The kids are
just supposed to grab the marshmallows and return them, and
you exchange them for a prize bag that includes a
water park pass and a kite. Fifteen thousand marshmallows dropped
(08:46):
from the sky in this by the way, So yay
or nay to the marshmallow drop. And do you think
you could trust a three year old not to put
one of these things in their mouths?
Speaker 2 (08:55):
No, absolutely not.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
They just run out there and grab one and just
shove it in there. Yeah, this pie hole.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Right dangerous, It seems dangerous.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Helicopter comes by, drops fifteen thousand marshmallows. They have three divisions,
by the way, four year olds and younger five to
seven year olds and eight to twelve year olds, and
then a drop for kids of all ages with disabilities.
If you want to take part, can be a part
of the marshmallow drop as well. Now, everybody in all
the pictures, everything seem to have fun. I'm just saying,
(09:24):
there's gonna be a three year old that's gonna throw
some marshmallows that have been on the Detroit turf into
their mouth and then their pie hole. And yeah, and honestly,
that's the best we could do, is just dropping marshmallows
out of a helicopter. What are we doing?
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Yeah, why not spend a little bit of time, get outdoors,
put some eggs out? Like what are we doing?
Speaker 3 (09:42):
I don't know what They had to get back to
play Minecraft all of a sudden.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Oh, well, they've been doing this for like three decades
now in the Detroit area.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Do better, Detroit.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
These kids, these kids already have to live in Detroit.
Now you're depriving them of Easter a hunts and instead
telling them to go off to dirty marshmallows. Like, what
are we talking about here.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
I totally agree. On a muddy day, marshmallows are not
They're not looking good by the time they're rolling around
on the ground.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
How would you go about doing this? Let's say you're
the kid. You got a little basket or a bucket.
You're running out there attempting to collect your marshmallows so
you can redeem them for a prize of a water park.
Passing the kite? How into this are you going to be?
Are you gonna knock kids over to try to get
as many marshmallows as possible? Are you going to try
to be? I mean, are you going to try to
get grass stains? You're going to dive around like Rambo? Like?
(10:31):
What's the strategy here?
Speaker 2 (10:33):
A kite? What were they out of sticks and hoops
at the at the the sports store?
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Like?
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Come on, what is this?
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Eighteen twenty four?
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Kites are cool?
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Man?
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Scarlet fever?
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Is it on the loose out there?
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Come on?
Speaker 2 (10:51):
I mean it's Detroit, so you never know what are
we gonna do? Sail a tiny sailboat in the local creek? Next,
wait for Uncle Johnny. They got back from the war,
which war? The War of eighteen twelve No, we're going
back in time.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
He's going back in time further. Now, we're going back. Hey, seriously,
kites are fun, man Like, that's such such innocent fun.
If you know what we're doing flying a kite's that's
a real thrill for a kid.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Nah, you're right. I actually was up in Maine many
years ago and I saw a guy flying.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Before the Great Main War occurred, right.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
That we are still fighting.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
We're in the process of that one.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Technically the war hasn't even started yet, that's how.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Yeah, we're getting there.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
State of the art. Anyway, you were, you were, you
were in Main flying kites. Yeah, and I saw this
guy did look very liberating with man he took. He
was a big kite and he was really having to
use some muscles to keep that thing aloft and keep
him on the ground in the main winds by the shoreline.
But yeah, I don't know. I guess I'm kind of
taking pot shots at kites. But I've never flown one.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
What have Yeah, you've never flown a kite.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
I don't think I have.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Oh what, you had to get back to your minecraft?
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Oh yeah, actually I had to get back to the game.
Sid Meyers civilization. Oh, actually I had a world to control.
Actually I had a war to finish. Actually a fine,
fine game, thank you, sid Meyers anything I had sid
Meyers Gettysburg. Yes, now that was a strategy game. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
I liked controlling the Union Army, trying to get those
those ribs off a little bunker hill. That's wrong, little
the little roundtop, little roundtop, yeah, and big roundtop. Oh yeah,
those ribs anyway, Yeah, those good times. But yeah, if
you're in Detroit, the marshmallow thing, yeah, marshmallows. Yeah, so
(12:50):
that was today. They did that this morning in Detroit
or the Detroit area, and a helicopter dropped fifteen thousand
marshmallows for a bunch of kids to go pick up
and not eat and redeem for a water park pass
and a kite.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Could you make them something that's not edible?
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Well, that's what I'm saying, is like, if you made
it like the plastic eggs or something, they can return
the eggs and you can just reuse them next year.
You can't reuse these marshmallows. Yeah, nobody can eat these.
I mean, you just wasted all these marshmallows. What are
you gonna do? Give them to a dog. You know,
any marshmallows dogs should eat like once a week, what
a week, maybe, depending on your dog's size. You can't
(13:28):
just be giving dogs marshmallows all the times. They'll make
them sick. You can't give them to the local birds.
Kill the birds. You literally just wasted fifteen thousand marshmallows
for no reason. That's the real sin of all this.
You know how many smores you could have made with that?
Somewhere between fifteen thousand and seven thousand, depending on how
(13:50):
many marshmallows you like on your on your s'mores.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
A lot of hot cups of cocoa that are going
without marshmallows this winter.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Somebody investigate Detroit. That's all I'm saying. But I'd really
like to see the Pistons beat the Knicks in the playoffs.
I said that real quick. Hey yeah, okay, Hey, good
Happy Friday. Will you have more coming up Friday? Four
on the Way on news radio eleven ten KMFAB

This is my problem, This is why, this is.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Why, this is why what Matt, I'm not finishing.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Okay, you can't afford the copet I can't afford the cope.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Well, I have a story related to Easter egg hunts
and I'll tell you next on news radio eleventh kfa B. So, Matt,
Easter egg hunts. You did them, right, I mean you
were a part of some some Easter egg hunts.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
It was the last time you did one last year. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Yeah. I didn't actively participate, but I were at one.
Well I I did in the sense that I put
the eggs out and hit them and watched it.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yeah. You know, you can get real interesting with that,
you know, putting them underwater in it into like snake
pits and stuff. Ah, this is a children's actual Oh okay,
I'm just checking. Well, in Detroit they have have a
thing where a helicopter participates, and you might be thinking, okay,
is this uh what kind of hunt is this? Well,
(07:59):
it is the annual Great Marshmallow Drop, and they drop
marshmallows in the Detroit suburb of Royal Oak, Michigan. And
all these hundreds and hundreds of marshmallows fall, and kids
with buckets run out into this field, chasing after this
helicopter that drops sackfoles of these confections onto this lawn
(08:21):
and all these kids try to collect as many marshmallows
as they can. And uh, now again, got to keep
in mind that you're not supposed to eat these marshmallows.
You know, they're landing on the ground. The kids are
just supposed to grab the marshmallows and return them, and
you exchange them for a prize bag that includes a
water park pass and a kite. Fifteen thousand marshmallows dropped
(08:46):
from the sky in this by the way, So yay
or nay to the marshmallow drop. And do you think
you could trust a three year old not to put
one of these things in their mouths?
Speaker 2 (08:55):
No, absolutely not.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
They just run out there and grab one and just
shove it in there. Yeah, this pie hole.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Right dangerous, It seems dangerous.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Helicopter comes by, drops fifteen thousand marshmallows. They have three divisions,
by the way, four year olds and younger five to
seven year olds and eight to twelve year olds, and
then a drop for kids of all ages with disabilities.
If you want to take part, can be a part
of the marshmallow drop as well. Now, everybody in all
the pictures, everything seem to have fun. I'm just saying,
(09:24):
there's gonna be a three year old that's gonna throw
some marshmallows that have been on the Detroit turf into
their mouth and then their pie hole. And yeah, and honestly,
that's the best we could do, is just dropping marshmallows
out of a helicopter. What are we doing?
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Yeah, why not spend a little bit of time, get outdoors,
put some eggs out? Like what are we doing?
Speaker 3 (09:42):
I don't know what They had to get back to
play Minecraft all of a sudden.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Oh, well, they've been doing this for like three decades
now in the Detroit area.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Do better, Detroit.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
These kids, these kids already have to live in Detroit.
Now you're depriving them of Easter a hunts and instead
telling them to go off to dirty marshmallows. Like, what
are we talking about here.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
I totally agree. On a muddy day, marshmallows are not
They're not looking good by the time they're rolling around
on the ground.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
How would you go about doing this? Let's say you're
the kid. You got a little basket or a bucket.
You're running out there attempting to collect your marshmallows so
you can redeem them for a prize of a water park.
Passing the kite? How into this are you going to be?
Are you gonna knock kids over to try to get
as many marshmallows as possible? Are you going to try
to be? I mean, are you going to try to
get grass stains? You're going to dive around like Rambo? Like?
(10:31):
What's the strategy here?
Speaker 2 (10:33):
A kite? What were they out of sticks and hoops
at the at the the sports store?
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Like?
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Come on, what is this?
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Eighteen twenty four?
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Kites are cool?
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Man?
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Scarlet fever?
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Is it on the loose out there?
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Come on?
Speaker 2 (10:51):
I mean it's Detroit, so you never know what are
we gonna do? Sail a tiny sailboat in the local creek? Next,
wait for Uncle Johnny. They got back from the war,
which war? The War of eighteen twelve No, we're going
back in time.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
He's going back in time further. Now, we're going back. Hey, seriously,
kites are fun, man Like, that's such such innocent fun.
If you know what we're doing flying a kite's that's
a real thrill for a kid.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Nah, you're right. I actually was up in Maine many
years ago and I saw a guy flying.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Before the Great Main War occurred, right.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
That we are still fighting.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
We're in the process of that one.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Technically the war hasn't even started yet, that's how.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Yeah, we're getting there.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
State of the art. Anyway, you were, you were, you
were in Main flying kites. Yeah, and I saw this
guy did look very liberating with man he took. He
was a big kite and he was really having to
use some muscles to keep that thing aloft and keep
him on the ground in the main winds by the shoreline.
But yeah, I don't know. I guess I'm kind of
taking pot shots at kites. But I've never flown one.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
What have Yeah, you've never flown a kite.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
I don't think I have.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Oh what, you had to get back to your minecraft?
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Oh yeah, actually I had to get back to the game.
Sid Meyers civilization. Oh, actually I had a world to control.
Actually I had a war to finish. Actually a fine,
fine game, thank you, sid Meyers anything I had sid
Meyers Gettysburg. Yes, now that was a strategy game. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
I liked controlling the Union Army, trying to get those
those ribs off a little bunker hill. That's wrong, little
the little roundtop, little roundtop, yeah, and big roundtop. Oh yeah,
those ribs anyway, Yeah, those good times. But yeah, if
you're in Detroit, the marshmallow thing, yeah, marshmallows. Yeah, so
(12:50):
that was today. They did that this morning in Detroit
or the Detroit area, and a helicopter dropped fifteen thousand
marshmallows for a bunch of kids to go pick up
and not eat and redeem for a water park pass
and a kite.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Could you make them something that's not edible?
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Well, that's what I'm saying, is like, if you made
it like the plastic eggs or something, they can return
the eggs and you can just reuse them next year.
You can't reuse these marshmallows. Yeah, nobody can eat these.
I mean, you just wasted all these marshmallows. What are
you gonna do? Give them to a dog. You know,
any marshmallows dogs should eat like once a week, what
a week, maybe, depending on your dog's size. You can't
(13:28):
just be giving dogs marshmallows all the times. They'll make
them sick. You can't give them to the local birds.
Kill the birds. You literally just wasted fifteen thousand marshmallows
for no reason. That's the real sin of all this.
You know how many smores you could have made with that?
Somewhere between fifteen thousand and seven thousand, depending on how
(13:50):
many marshmallows you like on your on your s'mores.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
A lot of hot cups of cocoa that are going
without marshmallows this winter.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Somebody investigate Detroit. That's all I'm saying. But I'd really
like to see the Pistons beat the Knicks in the playoffs.
I said that real quick. Hey yeah, okay, Hey, good
Happy Friday. Will you have more coming up Friday? Four
