Speaker 3 (00:15):
All right, welcome in, good morning, six oh five Josh
Ennis Show.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Let's go. How about that Tigers game yesterday?
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Huh. We'll get all the details for you in sports
coming up in just a few got football tonight, NFL
already hot Damn. I'm gonna hear from Amen Ross Saint
Brown today as well from his podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
He's got a message for you, Ben Johnson.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
So we'll have that coming up for you. Tigers Braves tickets.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
It's hook. It's wild that that game's coming up.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
What is today? Today?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Is the eleven?
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Today is September eleventh, anniversary of September eleventh. Obviously, that
was twenty four years ago. I remember being in school.
I was in the I was in a freshman in
high school actually going from my first hour class to
my second hour class, and I had a friend of
mine and he goes, he goes, hey, J boy.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
I don't know why he called me, that's like, hey
J boy.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
I'm like yeah, he goes, we're in World War three,
man like as if any high school kid, like a
ninth grader, pimply faced, you know, ninth grader knows this
in two thousand and one.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
But that was just the message I remember getting. Then
we all sat.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Around and we watched the news coverage of it that day,
and in the mind of like, you remember and you
recollect things that you that from, you know, when you
were a kid, and you're like, god, that was totally misguided.
But when you're you know, fifteen, sixteen years old, you
can't see past you know, getting off the bus and
going home. You know, like like you don't know what
the world is and you have no real idea, right.
(02:01):
So I remember getting on the bus to go home
that day, and there were no cell phones in two
thousand and one. Of if there were, there weren't many,
you know, and you're on the cell phone, not even
on the cell phone. And I had like a radio
i'd always kind of carry with me places because I
was a dork will transistor type, and I would listen
to it. And they talked about how all the baseball
games were canceled that night, and I'm like, what are
(02:23):
we doing at the time I was growing up. I
was born in Missouri, so I would listen to the Cardinals,
you know, and the Cardinals were hot in two thousand
and one, Like what are we doing? And you don't
know these things because you're a dumb fifteen year old kid.
You don't know what's happening in the world. But AnyWho,
that was twenty four years ago. You know what, I
(02:44):
think this one's fitting for that actually, with a lot
of stuff that's going on in the world. And then
looking back on that day, September eleventh, two thousand and one,
I think this song is perfect for rocked and loaded today.
I think this one kind of like it is perfect.
All right, let's take a look at sports. Tigers did
(03:07):
it again, another game that was close in the middle
innings and then just became a blood bath, an absolute
blood bath from the Tigers. Last night.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
They got a good outing from Jack Flaherty five.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Innings, pitch, two hits, he struck out seven, didn't allow
any runs. He also continued the trend that I talked
about yesterday where I'll have a good outing and then
a bad outing. That is six starts now where he's
alternated good starts and bad starts. That was a good one,
and Flarerty and the Boys got the w last night.
The final was eleven to one. Riley Green and Glabor
(03:40):
Torres had three RBIs age. Everybody who came to the
plate for the Tigers got at least one hit. And
this is the first time since twenty eleven that the
Tigers have won the season series over the Yankees, and
they did it in epic fashion, outscoring them twenty three
to three in the first two games of this series.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
And they go for the sweep tonight.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
So you're probably gonna get pitching chaos tonight because Tyler
Holton gets the start. So if you're into pitching chaos,
this could be the night for you. The Lions getting
ready to host the Bears on Sunday at Ford Field,
and that is the return of Ben Johnson.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Amen Ross.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Saint Brown on his Saint Brown podcast said, be prepared
for hell, sir.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
We two gonna be so crazy. I promise is it's
gonna be so electric. As soon as Ben walks in there,
we're booing here. I don't give up all boooning head right.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Well, And what's funny about this is this drawn that
has drawn attention from people, and I've been seeing comments
on social media about about how petty almen rose. First
of all, the dude's kind of half serious. The dude
obviously loves the guy. He loves Ben Johnson. He knows
that he became Amen Ross Saint Brown in the offense
that was run by Ben Johnson. But I'm seeing the
(04:54):
reactions from people, mostly people outside of Detroit. It's people
in Green Bay and people in Minnesota and people in
Chicago who are getting all uppity about this and angry
about this because Amen Ross says, we booing. Well, you
know what, boo the guy. That's what's fun about sports.
The fun part about sports is that you can take
a guy who a year ago you were in love with,
(05:16):
and now that guy coaches the other team and he
is the enemy, so you boo the hell out of him.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Maybe I'm petty.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
I don't want Ben Johnson to be successful in Chicago.
I'm gonna pulling for the Lions. I don't want Ben
Johnson to go to Chicago and turn the Bears around.
I like that the Bears always suck. That's one Lass
team you have to worry about in the division. And
Minnesota's got JJ McCarthy, so they're going to continue to
suck as well. I enjoy watching teams in the division suck.
(05:47):
That means the Lions have a better chance at success.
So boo this man this weekend. Good for Amen ra Amen.
Rod's a fun guy. He's an a hole on his podcasting,
this a whole character on his podcast and he bullies
his dumb brother and all that.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
But I like him.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Hopefully he'll have a better night out too, because four
catches in forty five yards for Am and Ryan gonna
get it done. Maybe he's missing been a little bit football.
We're back at it tonight with the Commander Skins taking
on the Packers. That's Thursday Night football tonight, and that is.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Sports all right.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Coming up, we will have Tiger's tickets in the seven
o'clock hour. We have to get into that. We have
a lot of stuff to get into today. We saw
something tragic happened yesterday as Charlie Kirk was shot and
killed in Utah. Now, I'm not going to get into
a deep political discussion with you about any of this
stuff because nobody's coming to me for that, and I
get that, but it is fascinating what we've become numb to.
(06:49):
We'll get into that. We have a lot to do today.
It's the Josh Andness Show on Detroit's wheel.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Stay. There's the Josh Innes Show.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
One of six point seven Troit's wheels.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
This is the Josh in a show.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
How are you?
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Everybody? Welcome in?
Speaker 3 (07:06):
So I got a text message here, and of course
you can always text the show. Text the word Josh
and your message to five nine five seven zero five
nine five seven zero. So anytime you want to quickly
communicate with the show, that is probably your best bet.
Text the word Josh and your message all in one
message to the number five nine five seven zero. Save
that number. Save the phone number eight seven seven nine
(07:29):
eight eight one oh six seven. That's how you talk
with the show. That's how you get in on contest.
And we have tickets and other stuff. Eight seven seven
nine eight eight one oh six seven.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
All right, get in on that. I'd save that number.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
But I got a text and it says and I
get at least one of these a day.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Well do you talk so much about sports to say
in a sport shown?
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Well, it's a show about what people in Detroit find interesting,
what people in Detroit are passionate about what gets people
in Detroit going. And in my limited time here, the
two months i've been here and then the almost year
I spent on the radio here when I was based
in Nashville, here's what I know about Detroit. People like
(08:11):
the Lions, people like the Tigers, people like the Red Wings,
people like the Pistons. This is one of the great
sports towns in America. One if I think only eleven
or twelve cities ever that have all four major sports teams,
there aren't many, and we're one of them. So if
(08:33):
Amen Ross Saint Brown says something, we're going to talk
about it. If the Tigers have outscored the Yankees twenty
three to two or twenty three to three rather in
the last two games and just totally destroyed their bullpen in.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Both of those games, we'll talk about.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
If there's an interesting story that's outside of sports, we'll
talk about it. That's what we do. Like, I'm just
trying to lay this out because we're still in the
infancy of this show, so I feel like I should
tell you this so you guys will know it, so
you have an expectation.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
I don't want you to come in.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Expecting something that it isn't because I would imagine the
expectation based on the last couple of years, is that
a guy comes in, says something for sixty seconds and
then you play another song. That's not what this is.
We're trying to build a radio show that will beat
David Couk and we're trying to build a show that's
going to beat Large James and take down the nerds
(09:27):
at the ticket That's what we're trying to do, and
we need you to help us do that.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
If it's not for you, it's not for you.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
If it is for you, tell a friend and then
shoot me a message and say, hey, I dig it.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
And I told my friend Steve to listen as well.
That's all I ask of you. So when you ask
why are you talk so much about sports? Because Detroit
cares about sports, You want to know what The.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Most interesting thing happening this weekend is Vin Johnson's coming
back to town and it's the home opener for the Lions.
Ninety five percent of the people in the city care
about that. It is the biggest thing going on, So
of course we're gonna talk about that. Tune into your
rock and roll conversation. Well, again, as I say all
the time, if one of our artists dies, which to.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Be fair, we're running out of people.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
To die at this point. But if one of them dies,
we'll talk about it. If something interesting, like last week
when Roger Waters was trashing Ozzy Osborne, I'll talking about
I'm looking for interesting things to discuss. That's what I
want you to have as an expectation when you come
in to listen to this show every day stuff that
you're going to find interesting stuff that relates to your life.
(10:35):
That's what we're doing, and that's what I want you
to know. That's kind of the blueprint that we have.
We're gonna have more people added the show. We're gonna
have two spots to fill on this show now, given
that it's iHeart, those probably won't be filled until twenty
twenty nine because Mojo probably needs someone to carry his
bag and that will take priority. But once we get
(10:57):
some people in here, we'll have a whole show. So
just the anticipation and the expectation for this is what
does somebody in Detroit find interesting today? And we're gonna
talk about it because we are live and local and
we're not putting together a show so it can be
rebroadcast in Florida.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
We're doing it for.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
You one on six point seven Detroit's Wheels Josh in
a show.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
All right, big.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Seven o'clock hour coming up, we'll have your opportunity to
score Tigers Braves tickets.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
That game is coming up in.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Eight days, eight days from now, so we're gonna have
those tickets coming up for you in the seven o'clock hour.
You'll hear from Amen Ross Saint Brown. He was on
his podcast talking about the return of Ben Johnson. What
will the reaction be like when Ben Johnson comes back
as the head coach of the Bears. It's obviously a
huge game. The Lions don't want to fall to oh
and two. The Bears don't want to fall to oh
(11:50):
and two. Both lost in pretty impressive fashion, just in
two different ways. Lions obviously got their asses kick from
the jump and we're never in the game. The Bears
had the game one for three quarters and then fell
off a cliff, so both teams desperate for a dub.
We'll talk about that in sports and what happened with
Charlie Kirk and just a bigger picture thing about what
(12:11):
we've been desensitized to. We're gonna get into all that
seven o'clock hour. Josh in a show, Oh in some
kick ass rock and rolls say that Jo show seven.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
W LLZ Detroit's wee oh wow.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Wllz Hi Josh in his show. I'm in a good
mood today. I woke up early. I woke up five
minutes before the alarm, and I just said, you know what,
I'm getting up, I'm facing the day. I'm also struggling
to find anybody in the text that can give me
a legitimately patriotic rock song, not some you know, hidden
(12:48):
meaning rock song, not some you know Bruce Springsteen born
in the USA. But it's an anti America song, and
not just songs that have the word America or USA
in them, like somebody texted r O c K.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
And the USA. While I'm not gonna.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Say it's an anti patriotic song because it's not. It's
it's it's just it's a rhyme thing, is all that
song is. It's not like some sort of you know, anthem.
It is an anthem, I guess, but it's not like,
oh like don't tread on me like that. The damn Yankees,
don't tread on me. We played that earlier. That's a
patriotic song. You can find a ton of song, a
(13:28):
ton of songs with the word America and the title.
And then there are some like, say, what is the
song the Sammy Hagar song, Remember the Heroes?
Speaker 2 (13:42):
That's one.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
That's a good one. And like even a song like
Eagles Fly by Sammy Hagar, while not technically a patriotic song,
like you could see it being used in that way.
It's not a directly patriotic song, but it fits into
the you know hey, like it'll get you pumped up
for America in the right context.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Anyway, Let's take a look at sports.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
So the Tigers won last night eleven to one, and
they've outscored the Yankees twenty three to three.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
In the last two games.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
They have destroyed the Yankees bullpen. Both of these games
were close in the middle innings and the Tigers bullpen
have completely shut him down and the offense has just
come to life. Riley Green and Glaber Torres had three
RBIs each in the game. Everyone who came to the
plate had at least one hit for the Tigers, and
by the way, Jack Flaherty was good five innings, two hits,
(14:35):
seven strikeouts, didn't allow a run. Tonight it may go
differently because we have pitching chaos. Tonight, Tyler Holton will
go seven h five is first pitch Amen Ross Saint
Brown says, hey, Ben Johnson, be prepared for noise.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
On Sunday.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
We two gonna be so crazy. I promise you, it's
gonna be so electric. But as soon as Ben walks
in there, we're booing him. I don't give up all
booing him.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
That was on the same Brown podcast, and is the vibe.
The vibes are gonna be immaculate this weekend in downtown
ford Field's gonna be rocking. You don't want to say
must win when they're seventeen of these things and it's
only number two. But it's another division game. You've already
lost a division game.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
If it must win.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
But she got to win this game at home against
the Bears. You get Thursday night football Tonight, Packers in primetime.
They will take on the Commander Skins, and there's sports
all right. I'm still waiting for you on the text,
text the word Josh and your message all in one
message to five nine five seven zero. Find me rock
songs that are just unbashedly patriotic. I'm looking for that. Okay,
(15:42):
that's what I want from you. You can find a
thousand country songs like that. Where are the rock songs
that are just red, white and blue, true and true? Brother?
Text the word, Josh and your message to five nine
to five seven zero, speaking of America.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Current day America not.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Exactly the greatest place as it.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Relates to violence.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
So yesterday Charlie Kirk, he's a Republican media guy, was
he got plugged in Utah. I'll talk about that, but
it's more of a bigger picture of how to sensitize
we've become to these things. I'll give you an example
of that that's coming up. That is one of six
point seven Detroit's Wheels Josh in a show How the
(16:26):
hell are you?
Speaker 2 (16:27):
As we roll along here this morning?
Speaker 3 (16:29):
So I'm getting text messages from people talking about unbashioned, unabashed.
I'm saying the wrong word ten different times. But songs
that are rock songs that are just straight up patriotism,
and you don't get that many of them, and just
they got hidden messages, but you don't get a ton
of those. We're talking about that because it's the anniversary
(16:51):
nine to eleven. And when I get to drunk on
my domestic light beers, I start listening to patriotic country music.
I basically turn into like Lee Greenwood when I start
drinking beer. The more beer I drink, the more patriotic
I get, and the more nude I get too.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
But anyway, so.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Charlie Kirk, who if you don't know who he is,
which a lot of people don't. Like. My wife texted
me yesterday when her friend texted her about Charlie Kirk
getting plugged, and she goes.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Who's Charlie Kirk?
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Like, you forget that most people don't know who a
lot of these popular political commentators are because most people
real talk just don't care. They're not that deep into it.
They don't want to pay attention to it. They don't
want to be bombarded with angry political stuff all day.
So a lot of people aren't going to know who
(17:41):
he was at this point now. But as you know,
he was shot in Utah, and and I don't have
they gotten the guy yet or the gal or the
they them. I don't know, Like I don't know what
the deal is they them she, they them her him.
I don't know. I don't know all the details because
every five minutes i'd see something new on social media
(18:02):
about some guy they've apprehended but he's not the guy,
and some guy they apprehended but he's not the guy.
So anyway, yesterday you couldn't avoid it, though, if you're
on any form of social media, if you're on Twitter,
if you're on Instagram, if you're on Facebook, you couldn't
avoid it even if you wanted to, Like, I didn't
seek out video of this guy getting shot, right, But
I didn't have to seek out video of this guy
(18:23):
getting shot because everywhere you turned you were ambushed by
a snuff film. That is what you were ambushed with yesterday.
As you're scrolling through your phone, you're like, hey, I
heard that, Amen Ross Saint Brown said that Ben Johnson's
gonna get boot on Sunday. Let me go to Twitter
and see if I can find that. And you start
scrolling and scrolling and scrolling, and then once you end
(18:43):
up seeing is oh, the guy got shot.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Guy got shot, guy got shot?
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Whoa like blood gushing out of the guy's neck and
then he dies and what bothered me. Obviously, the guy
getting shot is bothersome, and the fact that it's it's
so common, Like we're days after that, the gal on
the tree in Charlotte getting stabbed and nobody helped her
and she just laid there and died.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
And it's like we sit here.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
And the part that concerns me the most is that
we as people are so desensitized to this stuff that
seeing a guy get shot on the Internet and seeing
the video of it, a real life video of a
guy getting shot and dying right before our eyes, and
it's just like, Oh, that's Wednesday, no big deal. You know.
(19:29):
There's a scene like we're so blase about this kind
of stuff.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
There's a scene in.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Major League and I'll bring it back around, but there's
a scene in Major League where the guy who's the
general manager of the then Cleveland Indians, but due to politics.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Another thing, they are now known as the Guardians.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
The Cleveland Indians at the time, we're looking for a
manager and this guy's calling different guys like, Hey, do
you want to play for the Indians? Do you want
to be the manager of the Indians, blah blah blah,
And he calls Lou Brown to be the manager, and
he's working a tire shop, like managing a tire shop.
And the guy goes, hey, Lou, this is Charlie Donovan
of the Cleveland Indians. How would you like to manage
(20:08):
the Indians? And Lou goes, I don't know, Charlie. I
got a guy on the other line about some white walls.
I'll talk to you later. What does that have to
do with this? It's that kind of like blase response.
You think that when some guy offers you the opportunity
to manage a Major League Baseball team, you'd be more
excited than you are about selling tires. It's the same
(20:30):
way now when you see somebody get shot or stabbed
on the internet, you just go about your day, Like,
can you imagine if you told somebody in nineteen sixty
three when Kennedy gets assassinated that in twenty twenty five,
you'd be able to see that non stop. Think you're
full of it, right, and you would think that it's normal.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
But it's normal.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Think about the absurdity of that, Like you're sitting there
yesterday I saw somebody post like, what was your first reaction.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
When you saw this?
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Yesterday? And it's like, well, I guess I gotta go
walk my dog. I mean, like, that's how we react
to this stuff. It's like, hey, did you hear that
Charlie Kirk got shot? Like, yeah, who's Charlie Kirk? Did
you see the video? You're like, oh God? And then
you're like, all right, well, I'm gonna head to Chick
fil a now, anybody want anything? Like it's just like
that's who we are now. And then we're ambushed with
(21:19):
this on social media and then we're filled with rage content, right,
like people will send you these videos and this person
did this, and this is this group's fall, and it's
like we're so desensitized to it that we've become almost
inhuman monsters. We're not even human. We're robots. Like we
feel nothing except rage. Like we feel what we are
(21:42):
programmed to feel. They tell us what to feel, and
then we feel it, and we feel whatever our group
tells us to feel. If we are this political side,
we feel that way. If we are the other political side,
we feel that way. We are droids. We are robots,
and we are robots to the point now that when
we watch a guy a snuff film, like back when
I was a kid.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Do you remember Faces of Death? Right?
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Like you would hear stories about faces of Death and
you were like, well, what is faces of Death? And
he's like, I don't know, but my friend Tommy has it,
and like you get to watch videos of people getting
their heads cut off and animals getting killed, like you
get to watch real death. It's faces of Death. Now
you can see that on Facebook with no guard at all,
like you could, like it used to be, you'd be like, wow,
(22:26):
I guess I gotta go to some guy's garage to
watch that.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
You gotta go to a stag party.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
First off, we're gonna watch some beaver movies and then
we're gonna go out.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
We're gonna watch, you know, a guy get his head
chopped off.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
It's a stag party in Tom's garage. Now, all you
have to do is log onto Facebook. And if you're
not getting scammed by a fake Joe Elliot of Deaf Leopard,
you're watching a guy get his head blown off?
Speaker 2 (22:50):
What the hell?
Speaker 1 (22:52):
This is the Josh in his show on one OO
six point seven doublellzro.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
I had a smooth tran to it.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
One of those six point seven Detroit's wheels Ozzie flying
high again, Josh.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Annis Shaw, what's happening? So the Lions take on the
Bears on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
You've already heard Aman Ross say, Hey, everybody's gonna be
booing Ben Johnson, and good he should. That's sports man
Like I hate when people look at sports with too
much logic, Like I can get the argument that, oh,
the guy just left.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
For a better opportunity.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Of course he did, and we all know he left
for a better opportunity. Nobody wants to stay a coordinator
instead of being a head coach.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
We all get that.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
But it's sports and it's fun, and you boo the
opposition and we hate the Bears anyway, so screw them
right now. People have been skeptical speaking of Ben Johnson.
People locally have had issues with the new coordinators.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
And look, that's gonna be natural.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
When you go from being this high flying offense to
being what was dreadful in week one, people are gonna say, oh,
what the hell? And aman Ross Saint Brown on his podcast,
the podcast he does with his brother, talked about those skeptics.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
When benfort start, it wasn't you know, it wasn't Afflitteen
Glamborer to start with.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
He built, you know, built what he what we ended
up doing last year.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
So I feel like the new coordinators that we have
are just fine guys that are saying fire so and
so it's like, bro, it's a Week one, like we
took a loss. Are you go over here telling the
chief to fire whoever their offensive coordinators are their defensive
codinators Like they obviously wanted to win the get everyone wants.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
To win Week one. One thing though, aman Ro and
I'm on your side on ninety five percent of that.
But no, nobody is asking for the Chiefs to fire
their offensive coordinator, who is basically Andy Reid, who's one
of the best play callers in the NFL and has
won multiple Super Bowls and his coach for.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Twenty five thirty years. So no, they're not.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
So let's not compare Andy Reid to the no name
offensive coordinator here.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Now that's one. Two.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Give almenroc credit for handling things a lot better than
alex Anzeloney did after Week one. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Well,
the fans are not whoever's saying that's not highly intelligent.
One was a little bit more political with the answer,
And who would have thought that The guy that was
a little bit more political with the answer was Amen
Ross Saint Brown, but he was.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Sunday is going to be fun.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Thank you, alex Aelone. I appreciate you. Hey one to
six point seven Detroit Wheels. Hey, it's Christy mcnichol's birthday today.

I remember her on Empty Nest, But what was the
show that she was on or the movie she was in.

Tatum O'Neill. Anyway, Christy McNichol is one of those people
(25:49):
if you're a guy from a certain era, like that
was a crush you had when you were a kid,

hot celebrity?
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Right? Like?
Speaker 3 (26:55):
Who was that person that you were like, this is
my first crush? Like I got a buddy of mine
who was about the same age as Danika mckeller was
obsessed with Winnie Cooper on the Wonder Years and then
he finally got to talk with her one time, like
on a radio interview, and he lost his mind, Like,
so his was Winnie Cooper when he was a young dude.
He was in love with Winnie Cooper. Mine's random me, like,
(27:17):
there's a couple of them. I was really into DJ
Tanner on Full House. Now she's like a really weird
Holy Roller. That's Candace Cameron and her brother's like a
super weird holy Roller. But back in like nineteen ninety three,
young Josh was really in to DJ Tanner on Full House.
And then a little bit later, at about the age
(27:37):
of nine or ten, I fell hard for Baby Spice.
She was my favorite. I didn't care about Ginger Spice,
although I kind of liked her too, like a little redhead.
I didn't like Posh. Everybody thought Posh was the hottest
spice girl. Posh was not the hottest spice girl. She
was too thin, too lean. I didn't like a Posh,
but I liked Baby Spices because she was like a
(27:58):
little chubby you know what I'm saying. Now she's even hotter,
But back then I was in love with Baby Spies.
So tell me this at eight seven seven, nine, eight eight,
one oh six seven. It's Christy mcnichol's birthday today, and
a lot of people were in love with Christy mcnichkel
in their youth, right, Who was your first celebrity crush,

you just started discovering boy girl or boy boy or
(28:19):
girl girl.

Text me back on that.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
The hottest Mariah Carey that ever existed was Mariah Carey

like a lady James Bond. I loved it. Let's see
Mary Anne from Gilligan's Island, Thank you, Mark from South Warren. Look,
I'm glad that we got another mary Anne. Guy Ginger
can kick rocks. Let's see.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Let's go to the phones on this one. Hello Wheels, Hey,
good morning, Hey, what's up.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
About your question?
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Yep?
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Vallery Burton, Ellie see, and that's a lot of people
of a certain generation man early eighties. Then she gets
with Eddie and like Valerie was smoking hot. Yeah the
all listen Milano, that's another classic. Now she's a total
lunatic and she'd hate all of us.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
But back in the to.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Day, you're a young guy, Alyssa. Milano is like an
og for a lot of people. I agree, thank you,
all right. Let's see here Wheels, Hello, Hey, good morning. Yep.
Speaker 4 (30:09):
So I don't know how old you guys.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
Are, but in my age group, I would say it's
spirit of Fosst and Lannie Anderson. So that means you
watched a lot of Charlie's Angels in w KRP.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Yeah, buddy, yeah, And that was back in.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
The heyday of like Jiggle TV, like that's how they
sold these shows. Threes Company would have been on there
as well. H with with Suzanne Summers. It was like
you couldn't really easily access porn like these kids do now.
Like now you can be in like sixth grade just
watch porn at school to get your jolly's. Back in
the day, you had to wait till like eight o'clock
on CBS or ABC and watch the chicks jiggle exactly,
(30:47):
or find like a Seiars catalog or something, you know,
And that's a classic classic guy. You had to do
what you had to do back in the day. These
kids now have it too easy.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Oh, it's everything's too easy for these kids.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
This whole aiking, it's all well I mean that to
sound like a grumpy old man, but it's all infanity.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
You know, have to study, No AI does their homework.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
They don't have to study. When they look at their
spank material. They can watch the most hardcore stuff on
the internet and they don't have to seek it out
in a Sears catalog.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
They have it easy.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
Exactly by the way South Detroit as windsor thank you, sir,
appreciate it all right. I got a text here, Susannah Hoffs. Yes,
this text, Susannah Hoffs. I could have hammered my fifteen
year old put into an oak board watching the Walk
blank and Egyptian video. Same Josh in this show one
(31:39):
O six point seven.
Speaker 6 (31:40):
WLLZ Detroit's weel Wation, make us the number one preset
on your car radio and on the free new and
improved Oyard Radio app.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
Listen for all your music radio en podcasts free never
sounded so good, say Josh.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
It is show on one oh six point seven w
LLZ Detroit's Wheels Hi.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Welcome in Everybody Age oh two.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Josh Ennis Show. We gave away those Tigers tickets. Thank
you Tracy for calling. You've got those. We'll have another
pair tomorrow morning. People still haven't been able to supply
me with rock songs that are truly patriotic rock songs.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Somebody texted and said.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
You've got a bunch of people who are googling right
now and can't find anything.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
I know you can't find anything. They don't really exist.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
Most rock music that is masked as patriotic is not
really patriotic.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
They're like born in the USA and stuff like that, and.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
A lot of songs just say America or USA in
the title. Now, if you want real patriotism, you listen
to mister Neil Diamond. That's a man like. You want
a song that's just about how great America is America
by Neil Diamond.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
That's a song.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
But your heart pressed to find hardcore rockers doing that
right for the most part, But you get Neil Diamond.
This is another one of those I told you I'm
super patriotic. When I'm hammered, I get naked and I
get patriotic. I don't know what to tell you. It's
just these are the ABC's of me. Baby, What do
you want from me?
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Ah?
Speaker 2 (33:17):
We've been jabbed fuh Neil rules.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
By the way, there's a movie coming out about like
a Neil Diamond cover band starring you Jackman, sign me up.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
I'm in.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
Free, Be Free.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
So there's that.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
There's uh, And we talked about courtesy of the Red, White,
and Blue I can Country songs tend to be more
like you know, Lee Greenwood, God Bless the USA. But
rock songs you can't really find them. And today is
the anniversary of nine to eleven, twenty four years ago,
any Where Were You and the world stopped turning, Alan Jackson.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
That's another example.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
A lot of country songs don't how to handle patriotism.
Mostly these country songs are extremely hokey, and that's just
how they are.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Rock songs try to have.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
More of a message and whatever, but you can't find them.
They're just not that many true blue rock and roll
songs about how great America is. Part of it's because
half of the country seems to think we suck anyway.
I wonder, like I always wonder this. I wonder if
other countries are like this, or like like I wonder
if there's there's like half of the people in France
(34:27):
or sitting around going, hey, you know, it sucks us.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Like, I wonder if that's like or.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Is this just specific to the United States, where there's
seemingly a group of people, a large number of people
in this country who just hate America and they're Americans.
They just hate it and they say nothing but horrible
things about it.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
And I always threatened to leave, Like, is there.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
Some guy over like in England doing that, Like he's
like on the internet, but I hate England and I'm leaving,
Like do they have those kind of people there or
is it just us? Anyway? Also, speaking of American things
and things that happened in America, we were talking about
the Charlie Kirk shooting earlier. They still haven't found this guy,
(35:08):
Like I thought, like multiple times yesterday, and this is
the danger of the internet and social media. It looked
like they had caught the guy three times. There was
like three different dudes. It's like, turns out not the case.
That's where the internet's negative because the first guy they catch,
he becomes the guy in the minds of people, and
then they docks the guy and it's a whole damn deal.
(35:29):
The Internet has its negative side. I'd argue that most
of it's negative. All Right, we'll get into sports here
in just a bit, just a few minutes from now. Actually,
Trek Scobel, what are the odds that he wins the
cy Young Vegas will tell you that here momentarily.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
But speaking of patriotism, I.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
Want to play a good, true blue patriotic rock and
roll song this morning to wake you up in the
Motor City. And who better to wake you up in
the Motor City than the Motor City mad man himself
and his little rock and roll band called the Damn Yankees.
Speaker 4 (36:06):
Oh yeah, not the man just didn't Damn.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Yankee Josh in his show. Looking at sports, well, Trek
Scoobel is.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
Going to win the cy Young Award. If not, it'd
be one of the greatest upsets ever minus four thousand,
which means to win one hundred dollars you would have
to bet four thousand dollars. The next closest is Garrett Crochet.
He's plus sixteen hundred. He ain't gonna win. It's gonna
be Trek Scooble. Looking at some of the other awards, actually,
(36:42):
there are no odds given on the Manager of the Year,
but it's predicted that Aj Henchwin's Manager of the Year
as well, so there's another Tiger that could be scoring
something there. Outside of that. I don't think you're gonna
get a lot of guys in here, but it doesn't
matter because you win in a lot of baseball games.
They beat the hell out of the Yankees eleven to one.
They've outscored them twenty three to three in the first
two games. They've won a series against the season series
(37:04):
against the Yankees for the first time since twenty eleven.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
They've destroyed the Yankees bullpen.
Speaker 3 (37:11):
You got a good outing from Jack Flaherty who went
five scoreless innings.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Bullpen's been pretty good as well.
Speaker 3 (37:16):
I mean you've only given up won three runs through
two games, so everybody's pitched well. Football wise, that the
Bears coming to town on Sunday, the return of Ben Johnson,
and an interesting angle from amanron Is podcast on The
Saint Brown Podcast talked about people being upset after Week
(37:36):
one and is viewpoint on people being upset and why
people are so upset.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
I like this viewpoint. Go ahead, amenra I think.
Speaker 5 (37:44):
A lot of the fans are overreacting, which I get.
You know, we've kind of spoiled them with winning what
fifteen We won fifteen regular season games last year, only
lost too, so they're used to winning. I know, the
old Detroit Lions fans or were used to losing, so
now they're used to win, which is nice.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
We got to uphold that standard up winning, so I
think that's twofold.
Speaker 3 (38:06):
On one hand, You're right, the expectations have been elevated
and people are now expecting bigger things from you because
of fifteen win seasons and winning seasons and consecutive years
in playoff appearances. That's true, But also, don't talk like
you're the Kansas City Chiefs. You know, like they like
the Kansas City Chiefs fans expect super Bowls every year
because the Chiefs are in the Super Bowl every year
(38:27):
and they won Super Bowls. The Eagles fans the same
way the Patriots fans of a previous dynasty. I get
where you're coming from, and I don't disagree, but I
think it's a twofold thing. Yes, people are upset because
they expect regular season wins, but I think they also
get upset because they have expectations of wanting to do
more than just win fifteen games in the regular season.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
So you're kind of de swinging.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
There a little bit over raising the expectations by winning
fifteen regular season games. Let us not forget you got
your asses kicked against the command Skins last year. But
at least he wasn't dumping on the fans as we
mentioned earlier, like he didn't Alex and Zolonia and for
that we thank him after week one. Yeah, that's what
I'm saying. Well, the fans are not whoever's saying that's
(39:12):
not highly intelligent. See at least it sounds like aman
Ross Saint Brown thinks you're highly intelligent.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
So there you go.
Speaker 3 (39:21):
There's sports people still texting about songs that are rock
songs that are just one hundred percent patriotic. They don't exist.
Someone says, what about American Pie. American Pie on its
own is not some patriotic song. It's just like, basically
the song is that the framework of the song is
about the the Buddy Holly playing crash, the day of
(39:43):
the music die will the day the music died American Pie.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
But that song's more about.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
Like an American loss of innocence, kind of like you know,
like for some people, when Kennedy was shot, that was
your loss of innocence.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
There will be a group of kids.
Speaker 3 (39:57):
That are a young group now that their loss of
innocence may have come when Charlie Kirk was shot.
Speaker 2 (40:01):
That means that they liked him or knew him.
Speaker 3 (40:03):
But like when you saw Charlie Kirk get shot yesterday,
that might be your loss of innocence moment.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
For a generation, it was Kennedy.
Speaker 3 (40:09):
For some that might have been the Space Shuttle, the
Challenger blowing up could have been Buddy Holly dying in
a plane crash with the Big Bopper and Richie Allens.
But I wouldn't consider that. That's not a patriotic song.
It's just a really long song that features a lot
of weird s. One of six point seven y Troy's
wheels Josh in his show What's Happening all Right? So
(40:34):
back to the amen Ra audio from a second ago
from his podcast, and I said, I was kind of
torn on the messaging on it because on one hand,
he says like, hey, we've spoiled the fans by winning
fifteen games, so that I get why people are upset,
and that's true. You know, like this there's a franchise
that has a history of losing, so he've played great
football for a couple of years. So yes, and a
regular season, since you have spoiled the fans. That said,
(40:57):
the fans have not been spoiled in the postseason, which
is the bigger issue.
Speaker 2 (41:02):
Like last year was supposed to be the year.
Speaker 3 (41:04):
When you win fifteen games, you're also supposed to win
a playoff game, and.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
They didn't do that.
Speaker 3 (41:10):
So if you didn't hear that, here's the audio from
Amen ra.
Speaker 5 (41:13):
I think a lot of the fans are overreacting, which
I get. You know, we've kind of spoiled them with
winning what fifteen We won fifteen regular season games last year,
only lost too.
Speaker 3 (41:23):
So so if Lions fans are spoiled because you won
fifteen games in the regular season, then what are Eagles fans?
What are Chiefs fans? What are Patriots fans? Historically? Right?
But I laugh because what I heard him say that
talking about how they spoiled the fans. Have you ever
seen the movie Four Christmases. It's an underrated Vince Vaughn
(41:44):
Christmas movie. It's one of my it's a go to
watch for me at Christmas. And there's a scene where
he's talking with his dad played by Robert Duvall, and
his dad's explaining that talking about his divorced wife and
how he know his wife's nothing but a common street
hole and all that, and he talks about how he
spoiled his wife. Right, here's that audio.
Speaker 2 (42:05):
Better, I put a roof over her head, and I
never lied to her face.
Speaker 3 (42:09):
A spoiler is what I did.
Speaker 2 (42:11):
It has the same vibes? Does it not have similar vibes?
Speaker 5 (42:15):
I think a lot of the fans are overreacting, which
which I get. You know, we've kind of spoiled them
with winning what fifteen? We won fifteen regular season games
last year, only lost too.
Speaker 2 (42:25):
So I fetter.
Speaker 3 (42:27):
I put a roof over her head and I never lied.
Speaker 2 (42:29):
To her face. I spoiled the Lions fans. Is what
I did better.
Speaker 1 (42:34):
I put a roof over her head, and I never
lied to her face.
Speaker 3 (42:37):
A spoiler is what I did.
Speaker 2 (42:39):
The same vibes. So again, I'm with you.
Speaker 3 (42:44):
You want a lot of regular season games, and that's great.
Fans won a little bit more than that. Amen. Wrong.
Speaker 2 (42:50):
It's the Josh in his show Get the lead out
on Detroit Reels.
Speaker 3 (42:58):
The music is to It's louder and better on this
radio station. What can I say? Make sure you tell
your friends then too, because as we discussed a lot,
we're out here to play your elevator music. We're not
here to play doctor's office or dentist's office or optometrist
office music. Perhaps that's for some of you, Perhaps you know,
(43:19):
I don't know some Billy Joel might sit well with
some of you. Billy Joel is nice. No, they're wrong
with Billy Joel. But we're not here to play Billy Joel.
We're here to play music that's loud and proud. And
we like guitars around these here parks. We like guitars
on Detroit's wheels. It's reading this story, tell us story
(43:41):
about how it's it's brown bears, it's bear.
Speaker 2 (43:47):
Well, here's what. It was listed as Fat Bear Week. Okay,
Fat Bear Week in Alaska.
Speaker 3 (43:54):
It's an annual bracket style competition to crown the chunkiest
bear at Alaska's cat My National Park and Preserve. And
when I first read that, I thought that they were
looking for like, fat bearded gay men. When I saw
fat bit like just the headline Fat Bear Week, I'm like,
all right, this is my chance. Now. Granted I'm not gay,
(44:16):
but gay men love me. And I ask them, well,
why do you like me so much? They say, because
you're a bear. I think I could. I could infiltrate
a bear contest like that then probably win all of
my gay friends for whatever reason. I think they're only
my friends because they think I'm hot. And there is
something flattering about finding a group of people who find
you attractive, even if there's nothing that's gonna come of it.
(44:38):
Because I'm not going to bone those guys. I'm not gay,
but and they know that, but they still try. They're persistent.
The only group of people who are still allowed to
be persistent and a sexual nature is gay men. When
they've had a few drinks and they're around their straight
dude friends, still get a little handsy and they get
a little persistent. If a guy gets a little too
(45:00):
persistent when he's approaching a woman in a bar, he
gets maced and then probably arrested. A gay man gets
a little handsy when he's at a bar and gets persistent,
and we laugh, we say that's funny. But gay guys
love me. I am a hero of gays, and I
don't know why. I mean, I have nothing against them
or anything. I like them, but gay people love me,
(45:21):
and it's all based on my beauty.
Speaker 2 (45:23):
But I'm only beautiful to gay men.

Brown today as well from his podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
He's got a message for you, Ben Johnson.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
So we'll have that coming up for you. Tigers Braves tickets.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
It's hook. It's wild that that game's coming up.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
What is today? Today?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Is the eleven?
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Today is September eleventh, anniversary of September eleventh. Obviously, that
was twenty four years ago. I remember being in school.
I was in the I was in a freshman in
high school actually going from my first hour class to
my second hour class, and I had a friend of
mine and he goes, he goes, hey, J boy.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
I don't know why he called me, that's like, hey
J boy.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
I'm like yeah, he goes, we're in World War three,
man like as if any high school kid, like a
ninth grader, pimply faced, you know, ninth grader knows this
in two thousand and one.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
But that was just the message I remember getting. Then
we all sat.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Around and we watched the news coverage of it that day,
and in the mind of like, you remember and you
recollect things that you that from, you know, when you
were a kid, and you're like, god, that was totally misguided.
But when you're you know, fifteen, sixteen years old, you
can't see past you know, getting off the bus and
going home. You know, like like you don't know what
the world is and you have no real idea, right.
(02:01):
So I remember getting on the bus to go home
that day, and there were no cell phones in two
thousand and one. Of if there were, there weren't many,
you know, and you're on the cell phone, not even
on the cell phone. And I had like a radio
i'd always kind of carry with me places because I
was a dork will transistor type, and I would listen
to it. And they talked about how all the baseball
games were canceled that night, and I'm like, what are
(02:23):
we doing at the time I was growing up. I
was born in Missouri, so I would listen to the Cardinals,
you know, and the Cardinals were hot in two thousand
and one, Like what are we doing? And you don't
know these things because you're a dumb fifteen year old kid.
You don't know what's happening in the world. But AnyWho,
that was twenty four years ago. You know what, I
(02:44):
think this one's fitting for that actually, with a lot
of stuff that's going on in the world. And then
looking back on that day, September eleventh, two thousand and one,
I think this song is perfect for rocked and loaded today.
I think this one kind of like it is perfect.
All right, let's take a look at sports. Tigers did
(03:07):
it again, another game that was close in the middle
innings and then just became a blood bath, an absolute
blood bath from the Tigers. Last night.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
They got a good outing from Jack Flaherty five.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Innings, pitch, two hits, he struck out seven, didn't allow
any runs. He also continued the trend that I talked
about yesterday where I'll have a good outing and then
a bad outing. That is six starts now where he's
alternated good starts and bad starts. That was a good one,
and Flarerty and the Boys got the w last night.
The final was eleven to one. Riley Green and Glabor
(03:40):
Torres had three RBIs age. Everybody who came to the
plate for the Tigers got at least one hit. And
this is the first time since twenty eleven that the
Tigers have won the season series over the Yankees, and
they did it in epic fashion, outscoring them twenty three
to three in the first two games of this series.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
And they go for the sweep tonight.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
So you're probably gonna get pitching chaos tonight because Tyler
Holton gets the start. So if you're into pitching chaos,
this could be the night for you. The Lions getting
ready to host the Bears on Sunday at Ford Field,
and that is the return of Ben Johnson.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Amen Ross.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Saint Brown on his Saint Brown podcast said, be prepared
for hell, sir.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
We two gonna be so crazy. I promise is it's
gonna be so electric. As soon as Ben walks in there,
we're booing here. I don't give up all boooning head right.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Well, And what's funny about this is this drawn that
has drawn attention from people, and I've been seeing comments
on social media about about how petty almen rose. First
of all, the dude's kind of half serious. The dude
obviously loves the guy. He loves Ben Johnson. He knows
that he became Amen Ross Saint Brown in the offense
that was run by Ben Johnson. But I'm seeing the
(04:54):
reactions from people, mostly people outside of Detroit. It's people
in Green Bay and people in Minnesota and people in
Chicago who are getting all uppity about this and angry
about this because Amen Ross says, we booing. Well, you
know what, boo the guy. That's what's fun about sports.
The fun part about sports is that you can take
a guy who a year ago you were in love with,
(05:16):
and now that guy coaches the other team and he
is the enemy, so you boo the hell out of him.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Maybe I'm petty.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
I don't want Ben Johnson to be successful in Chicago.
I'm gonna pulling for the Lions. I don't want Ben
Johnson to go to Chicago and turn the Bears around.
I like that the Bears always suck. That's one Lass
team you have to worry about in the division. And
Minnesota's got JJ McCarthy, so they're going to continue to
suck as well. I enjoy watching teams in the division suck.
(05:47):
That means the Lions have a better chance at success.
So boo this man this weekend. Good for Amen ra Amen.
Rod's a fun guy. He's an a hole on his podcasting,
this a whole character on his podcast and he bullies
his dumb brother and all that.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
But I like him.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Hopefully he'll have a better night out too, because four
catches in forty five yards for Am and Ryan gonna
get it done. Maybe he's missing been a little bit football.
We're back at it tonight with the Commander Skins taking
on the Packers. That's Thursday Night football tonight, and that is.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Sports all right.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Coming up, we will have Tiger's tickets in the seven
o'clock hour. We have to get into that. We have
a lot of stuff to get into today. We saw
something tragic happened yesterday as Charlie Kirk was shot and
killed in Utah. Now, I'm not going to get into
a deep political discussion with you about any of this
stuff because nobody's coming to me for that, and I
get that, but it is fascinating what we've become numb to.
(06:49):
We'll get into that. We have a lot to do today.
It's the Josh Andness Show on Detroit's wheel.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Stay. There's the Josh Innes Show.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
One of six point seven Troit's wheels.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
This is the Josh in a show.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
How are you?
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Everybody? Welcome in?
Speaker 3 (07:06):
So I got a text message here, and of course
you can always text the show. Text the word Josh
and your message to five nine five seven zero five
nine five seven zero. So anytime you want to quickly
communicate with the show, that is probably your best bet.
Text the word Josh and your message all in one
message to the number five nine five seven zero. Save
that number. Save the phone number eight seven seven nine
(07:29):
eight eight one oh six seven. That's how you talk
with the show. That's how you get in on contest.
And we have tickets and other stuff. Eight seven seven
nine eight eight one oh six seven.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
All right, get in on that. I'd save that number.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
But I got a text and it says and I
get at least one of these a day.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Well do you talk so much about sports to say
in a sport shown?
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Well, it's a show about what people in Detroit find interesting,
what people in Detroit are passionate about what gets people
in Detroit going. And in my limited time here, the
two months i've been here and then the almost year
I spent on the radio here when I was based
in Nashville, here's what I know about Detroit. People like
(08:11):
the Lions, people like the Tigers, people like the Red Wings,
people like the Pistons. This is one of the great
sports towns in America. One if I think only eleven
or twelve cities ever that have all four major sports teams,
there aren't many, and we're one of them. So if
(08:33):
Amen Ross Saint Brown says something, we're going to talk
about it. If the Tigers have outscored the Yankees twenty
three to two or twenty three to three rather in
the last two games and just totally destroyed their bullpen in.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Both of those games, we'll talk about.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
If there's an interesting story that's outside of sports, we'll
talk about it. That's what we do. Like, I'm just
trying to lay this out because we're still in the
infancy of this show, so I feel like I should
tell you this so you guys will know it, so
you have an expectation.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
I don't want you to come in.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Expecting something that it isn't because I would imagine the
expectation based on the last couple of years, is that
a guy comes in, says something for sixty seconds and
then you play another song. That's not what this is.
We're trying to build a radio show that will beat
David Couk and we're trying to build a show that's
going to beat Large James and take down the nerds
(09:27):
at the ticket That's what we're trying to do, and
we need you to help us do that.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
If it's not for you, it's not for you.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
If it is for you, tell a friend and then
shoot me a message and say, hey, I dig it.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
And I told my friend Steve to listen as well.
That's all I ask of you. So when you ask
why are you talk so much about sports? Because Detroit
cares about sports, You want to know what The.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Most interesting thing happening this weekend is Vin Johnson's coming
back to town and it's the home opener for the Lions.
Ninety five percent of the people in the city care
about that. It is the biggest thing going on, So
of course we're gonna talk about that. Tune into your
rock and roll conversation. Well, again, as I say all
the time, if one of our artists dies, which to.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Be fair, we're running out of people.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
To die at this point. But if one of them dies,
we'll talk about it. If something interesting, like last week
when Roger Waters was trashing Ozzy Osborne, I'll talking about
I'm looking for interesting things to discuss. That's what I
want you to have as an expectation when you come
in to listen to this show every day stuff that
you're going to find interesting stuff that relates to your life.
(10:35):
That's what we're doing, and that's what I want you
to know. That's kind of the blueprint that we have.
We're gonna have more people added the show. We're gonna
have two spots to fill on this show now, given
that it's iHeart, those probably won't be filled until twenty
twenty nine because Mojo probably needs someone to carry his
bag and that will take priority. But once we get
(10:57):
some people in here, we'll have a whole show. So
just the anticipation and the expectation for this is what
does somebody in Detroit find interesting today? And we're gonna
talk about it because we are live and local and
we're not putting together a show so it can be
rebroadcast in Florida.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
We're doing it for.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
You one on six point seven Detroit's Wheels Josh in
a show.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
All right, big.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Seven o'clock hour coming up, we'll have your opportunity to
score Tigers Braves tickets.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
That game is coming up in.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Eight days, eight days from now, so we're gonna have
those tickets coming up for you in the seven o'clock hour.
You'll hear from Amen Ross Saint Brown. He was on
his podcast talking about the return of Ben Johnson. What
will the reaction be like when Ben Johnson comes back
as the head coach of the Bears. It's obviously a
huge game. The Lions don't want to fall to oh
and two. The Bears don't want to fall to oh
(11:50):
and two. Both lost in pretty impressive fashion, just in
two different ways. Lions obviously got their asses kick from
the jump and we're never in the game. The Bears
had the game one for three quarters and then fell
off a cliff, so both teams desperate for a dub.
We'll talk about that in sports and what happened with
Charlie Kirk and just a bigger picture thing about what
(12:11):
we've been desensitized to. We're gonna get into all that
seven o'clock hour. Josh in a show, Oh in some
kick ass rock and rolls say that Jo show seven.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
W LLZ Detroit's wee oh wow.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Wllz Hi Josh in his show. I'm in a good
mood today. I woke up early. I woke up five
minutes before the alarm, and I just said, you know what,
I'm getting up, I'm facing the day. I'm also struggling
to find anybody in the text that can give me
a legitimately patriotic rock song, not some you know, hidden
(12:48):
meaning rock song, not some you know Bruce Springsteen born
in the USA. But it's an anti America song, and
not just songs that have the word America or USA
in them, like somebody texted r O c K.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
And the USA. While I'm not gonna.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Say it's an anti patriotic song because it's not. It's
it's it's just it's a rhyme thing, is all that
song is. It's not like some sort of you know, anthem.
It is an anthem, I guess, but it's not like,
oh like don't tread on me like that. The damn Yankees,
don't tread on me. We played that earlier. That's a
patriotic song. You can find a ton of song, a
(13:28):
ton of songs with the word America and the title.
And then there are some like, say, what is the
song the Sammy Hagar song, Remember the Heroes?
Speaker 2 (13:42):
That's one.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
That's a good one. And like even a song like
Eagles Fly by Sammy Hagar, while not technically a patriotic song,
like you could see it being used in that way.
It's not a directly patriotic song, but it fits into
the you know hey, like it'll get you pumped up
for America in the right context.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Anyway, Let's take a look at sports.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
So the Tigers won last night eleven to one, and
they've outscored the Yankees twenty three to three.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
In the last two games.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
They have destroyed the Yankees bullpen. Both of these games
were close in the middle innings and the Tigers bullpen
have completely shut him down and the offense has just
come to life. Riley Green and Glaber Torres had three
RBIs each in the game. Everyone who came to the
plate had at least one hit for the Tigers, and
by the way, Jack Flaherty was good five innings, two hits,
(14:35):
seven strikeouts, didn't allow a run. Tonight it may go
differently because we have pitching chaos. Tonight, Tyler Holton will
go seven h five is first pitch Amen Ross Saint
Brown says, hey, Ben Johnson, be prepared for noise.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
On Sunday.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
We two gonna be so crazy. I promise you, it's
gonna be so electric. But as soon as Ben walks
in there, we're booing him. I don't give up all
booing him.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
That was on the same Brown podcast, and is the vibe.
The vibes are gonna be immaculate this weekend in downtown
ford Field's gonna be rocking. You don't want to say
must win when they're seventeen of these things and it's
only number two. But it's another division game. You've already
lost a division game.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
If it must win.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
But she got to win this game at home against
the Bears. You get Thursday night football Tonight, Packers in primetime.
They will take on the Commander Skins, and there's sports
all right. I'm still waiting for you on the text,
text the word Josh and your message all in one
message to five nine five seven zero. Find me rock
songs that are just unbashedly patriotic. I'm looking for that. Okay,
(15:42):
that's what I want from you. You can find a
thousand country songs like that. Where are the rock songs
that are just red, white and blue, true and true? Brother?
Text the word, Josh and your message to five nine
to five seven zero, speaking of America.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Current day America not.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Exactly the greatest place as it.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Relates to violence.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
So yesterday Charlie Kirk, he's a Republican media guy, was
he got plugged in Utah. I'll talk about that, but
it's more of a bigger picture of how to sensitize
we've become to these things. I'll give you an example
of that that's coming up. That is one of six
point seven Detroit's Wheels Josh in a show How the
(16:26):
hell are you?
Speaker 2 (16:27):
As we roll along here this morning?
Speaker 3 (16:29):
So I'm getting text messages from people talking about unbashioned, unabashed.
I'm saying the wrong word ten different times. But songs
that are rock songs that are just straight up patriotism,
and you don't get that many of them, and just
they got hidden messages, but you don't get a ton
of those. We're talking about that because it's the anniversary
(16:51):
nine to eleven. And when I get to drunk on
my domestic light beers, I start listening to patriotic country music.
I basically turn into like Lee Greenwood when I start
drinking beer. The more beer I drink, the more patriotic
I get, and the more nude I get too.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
But anyway, so.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Charlie Kirk, who if you don't know who he is,
which a lot of people don't. Like. My wife texted
me yesterday when her friend texted her about Charlie Kirk
getting plugged, and she goes.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Who's Charlie Kirk?
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Like, you forget that most people don't know who a
lot of these popular political commentators are because most people
real talk just don't care. They're not that deep into it.
They don't want to pay attention to it. They don't
want to be bombarded with angry political stuff all day.
So a lot of people aren't going to know who
(17:41):
he was at this point now. But as you know,
he was shot in Utah, and and I don't have
they gotten the guy yet or the gal or the
they them. I don't know, Like I don't know what
the deal is they them she, they them her him.
I don't know. I don't know all the details because
every five minutes i'd see something new on social media
(18:02):
about some guy they've apprehended but he's not the guy,
and some guy they apprehended but he's not the guy.
So anyway, yesterday you couldn't avoid it, though, if you're
on any form of social media, if you're on Twitter,
if you're on Instagram, if you're on Facebook, you couldn't
avoid it even if you wanted to, Like, I didn't
seek out video of this guy getting shot, right, But
I didn't have to seek out video of this guy
(18:23):
getting shot because everywhere you turned you were ambushed by
a snuff film. That is what you were ambushed with yesterday.
As you're scrolling through your phone, you're like, hey, I
heard that, Amen Ross Saint Brown said that Ben Johnson's
gonna get boot on Sunday. Let me go to Twitter
and see if I can find that. And you start
scrolling and scrolling and scrolling, and then once you end
(18:43):
up seeing is oh, the guy got shot.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Guy got shot, guy got shot?
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Whoa like blood gushing out of the guy's neck and
then he dies and what bothered me. Obviously, the guy
getting shot is bothersome, and the fact that it's it's
so common, Like we're days after that, the gal on
the tree in Charlotte getting stabbed and nobody helped her
and she just laid there and died.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
And it's like we sit here.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
And the part that concerns me the most is that
we as people are so desensitized to this stuff that
seeing a guy get shot on the Internet and seeing
the video of it, a real life video of a
guy getting shot and dying right before our eyes, and
it's just like, Oh, that's Wednesday, no big deal. You know.
(19:29):
There's a scene like we're so blase about this kind
of stuff.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
There's a scene in.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Major League and I'll bring it back around, but there's
a scene in Major League where the guy who's the
general manager of the then Cleveland Indians, but due to politics.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Another thing, they are now known as the Guardians.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
The Cleveland Indians at the time, we're looking for a
manager and this guy's calling different guys like, Hey, do
you want to play for the Indians? Do you want
to be the manager of the Indians, blah blah blah,
And he calls Lou Brown to be the manager, and
he's working a tire shop, like managing a tire shop.
And the guy goes, hey, Lou, this is Charlie Donovan
of the Cleveland Indians. How would you like to manage
(20:08):
the Indians? And Lou goes, I don't know, Charlie. I
got a guy on the other line about some white walls.
I'll talk to you later. What does that have to
do with this? It's that kind of like blase response.
You think that when some guy offers you the opportunity
to manage a Major League Baseball team, you'd be more
excited than you are about selling tires. It's the same
(20:30):
way now when you see somebody get shot or stabbed
on the internet, you just go about your day, Like,
can you imagine if you told somebody in nineteen sixty
three when Kennedy gets assassinated that in twenty twenty five,
you'd be able to see that non stop. Think you're
full of it, right, and you would think that it's normal.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
But it's normal.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Think about the absurdity of that, Like you're sitting there
yesterday I saw somebody post like, what was your first reaction.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
When you saw this?
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Yesterday? And it's like, well, I guess I gotta go
walk my dog. I mean, like, that's how we react
to this stuff. It's like, hey, did you hear that
Charlie Kirk got shot? Like, yeah, who's Charlie Kirk? Did
you see the video? You're like, oh God? And then
you're like, all right, well, I'm gonna head to Chick
fil a now, anybody want anything? Like it's just like
that's who we are now. And then we're ambushed with
(21:19):
this on social media and then we're filled with rage content, right,
like people will send you these videos and this person
did this, and this is this group's fall, and it's
like we're so desensitized to it that we've become almost
inhuman monsters. We're not even human. We're robots. Like we
feel nothing except rage. Like we feel what we are
(21:42):
programmed to feel. They tell us what to feel, and
then we feel it, and we feel whatever our group
tells us to feel. If we are this political side,
we feel that way. If we are the other political side,
we feel that way. We are droids. We are robots,
and we are robots to the point now that when
we watch a guy a snuff film, like back when
I was a kid.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Do you remember Faces of Death? Right?
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Like you would hear stories about faces of Death and
you were like, well, what is faces of Death? And
he's like, I don't know, but my friend Tommy has it,
and like you get to watch videos of people getting
their heads cut off and animals getting killed, like you
get to watch real death. It's faces of Death. Now
you can see that on Facebook with no guard at all,
like you could, like it used to be, you'd be like, wow,
(22:26):
I guess I gotta go to some guy's garage to
watch that.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
You gotta go to a stag party.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
First off, we're gonna watch some beaver movies and then
we're gonna go out.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
We're gonna watch, you know, a guy get his head
chopped off.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
It's a stag party in Tom's garage. Now, all you
have to do is log onto Facebook. And if you're
not getting scammed by a fake Joe Elliot of Deaf Leopard,
you're watching a guy get his head blown off?
Speaker 2 (22:50):
What the hell?
Speaker 1 (22:52):
This is the Josh in his show on one OO
six point seven doublellzro.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
I had a smooth tran to it.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
One of those six point seven Detroit's wheels Ozzie flying
high again, Josh.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Annis Shaw, what's happening? So the Lions take on the
Bears on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
You've already heard Aman Ross say, Hey, everybody's gonna be
booing Ben Johnson, and good he should. That's sports man
Like I hate when people look at sports with too
much logic, Like I can get the argument that, oh,
the guy just left.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
For a better opportunity.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Of course he did, and we all know he left
for a better opportunity. Nobody wants to stay a coordinator
instead of being a head coach.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
We all get that.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
But it's sports and it's fun, and you boo the
opposition and we hate the Bears anyway, so screw them
right now. People have been skeptical speaking of Ben Johnson.
People locally have had issues with the new coordinators.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
And look, that's gonna be natural.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
When you go from being this high flying offense to
being what was dreadful in week one, people are gonna say, oh,
what the hell? And aman Ross Saint Brown on his podcast,
the podcast he does with his brother, talked about those skeptics.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
When benfort start, it wasn't you know, it wasn't Afflitteen
Glamborer to start with.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
He built, you know, built what he what we ended
up doing last year.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
So I feel like the new coordinators that we have
are just fine guys that are saying fire so and
so it's like, bro, it's a Week one, like we
took a loss. Are you go over here telling the
chief to fire whoever their offensive coordinators are their defensive
codinators Like they obviously wanted to win the get everyone wants.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
To win Week one. One thing though, aman Ro and
I'm on your side on ninety five percent of that.
But no, nobody is asking for the Chiefs to fire
their offensive coordinator, who is basically Andy Reid, who's one
of the best play callers in the NFL and has
won multiple Super Bowls and his coach for.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Twenty five thirty years. So no, they're not.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
So let's not compare Andy Reid to the no name
offensive coordinator here.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Now that's one. Two.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Give almenroc credit for handling things a lot better than
alex Anzeloney did after Week one. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Well,
the fans are not whoever's saying that's not highly intelligent.
One was a little bit more political with the answer,
And who would have thought that The guy that was
a little bit more political with the answer was Amen
Ross Saint Brown, but he was.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Sunday is going to be fun.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Thank you, alex Aelone. I appreciate you. Hey one to

hot celebrity?
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Right? Like?
Speaker 3 (26:55):
Who was that person that you were like, this is
my first crush? Like I got a buddy of mine
who was about the same age as Danika mckeller was
obsessed with Winnie Cooper on the Wonder Years and then
he finally got to talk with her one time, like
on a radio interview, and he lost his mind, Like,
so his was Winnie Cooper when he was a young dude.
He was in love with Winnie Cooper. Mine's random me, like,
(27:17):
there's a couple of them. I was really into DJ
Tanner on Full House. Now she's like a really weird
Holy Roller. That's Candace Cameron and her brother's like a
super weird holy Roller. But back in like nineteen ninety three,
young Josh was really in to DJ Tanner on Full House.
And then a little bit later, at about the age
(27:37):
of nine or ten, I fell hard for Baby Spice.
She was my favorite. I didn't care about Ginger Spice,
although I kind of liked her too, like a little redhead.
I didn't like Posh. Everybody thought Posh was the hottest
spice girl. Posh was not the hottest spice girl. She
was too thin, too lean. I didn't like a Posh,
but I liked Baby Spices because she was like a
(27:58):
little chubby you know what I'm saying. Now she's even hotter,
But back then I was in love with Baby Spies.
So tell me this at eight seven seven, nine, eight eight,

a lot of people were in love with Christy mcnichkel

Speaker 3 (29:13):
The hottest Mariah Carey that ever existed was Mariah Carey

Mary Anne from Gilligan's Island, Thank you, Mark from South Warren. Look,
I'm glad that we got another mary Anne. Guy Ginger

Speaker 2 (29:35):
Let's go to the phones on this one. Hello Wheels, Hey,
good morning, Hey, what's up.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
About your question?
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Yep?
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Vallery Burton, Ellie see, and that's a lot of people
of a certain generation man early eighties. Then she gets
with Eddie and like Valerie was smoking hot. Yeah the
all listen Milano, that's another classic. Now she's a total
lunatic and she'd hate all of us.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
But back in the to.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Day, you're a young guy, Alyssa. Milano is like an
og for a lot of people. I agree, thank you,
all right. Let's see here Wheels, Hello, Hey, good morning. Yep.
Speaker 4 (30:09):
So I don't know how old you guys.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
Are, but in my age group, I would say it's
spirit of Fosst and Lannie Anderson. So that means you
watched a lot of Charlie's Angels in w KRP.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Yeah, buddy, yeah, And that was back in.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
The heyday of like Jiggle TV, like that's how they
sold these shows. Threes Company would have been on there
as well. H with with Suzanne Summers. It was like
you couldn't really easily access porn like these kids do now.
Like now you can be in like sixth grade just
watch porn at school to get your jolly's. Back in
the day, you had to wait till like eight o'clock
on CBS or ABC and watch the chicks jiggle exactly,
(30:47):
or find like a Seiars catalog or something, you know,
And that's a classic classic guy. You had to do
what you had to do back in the day. These
kids now have it too easy.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Oh, it's everything's too easy for these kids.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
This whole aiking, it's all well I mean that to
sound like a grumpy old man, but it's all infanity.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
You know, have to study, No AI does their homework.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
They don't have to study. When they look at their
spank material. They can watch the most hardcore stuff on
the internet and they don't have to seek it out
in a Sears catalog.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
They have it easy.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
Exactly by the way South Detroit as windsor thank you, sir,
appreciate it all right. I got a text here, Susannah Hoffs. Yes,
this text, Susannah Hoffs. I could have hammered my fifteen
year old put into an oak board watching the Walk
blank and Egyptian video. Same Josh in this show one
(31:39):
O six point seven.
Speaker 6 (31:40):
WLLZ Detroit's weel Wation, make us the number one preset
on your car radio and on the free new and
improved Oyard Radio app.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
Listen for all your music radio en podcasts free never
sounded so good, say Josh.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
It is show on one oh six point seven w
LLZ Detroit's Wheels Hi.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Welcome in Everybody Age oh two.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Josh Ennis Show. We gave away those Tigers tickets. Thank
you Tracy for calling. You've got those. We'll have another
pair tomorrow morning. People still haven't been able to supply
me with rock songs that are truly patriotic rock songs.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Somebody texted and said.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
You've got a bunch of people who are googling right
now and can't find anything.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
I know you can't find anything. They don't really exist.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
Most rock music that is masked as patriotic is not
really patriotic.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
They're like born in the USA and stuff like that, and.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
A lot of songs just say America or USA in
the title. Now, if you want real patriotism, you listen
to mister Neil Diamond. That's a man like. You want
a song that's just about how great America is America
by Neil Diamond.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
That's a song.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
But your heart pressed to find hardcore rockers doing that
right for the most part, But you get Neil Diamond.
This is another one of those I told you I'm
super patriotic. When I'm hammered, I get naked and I
get patriotic. I don't know what to tell you. It's
just these are the ABC's of me. Baby, What do
you want from me?
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Ah?
Speaker 2 (33:17):
We've been jabbed fuh Neil rules.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
By the way, there's a movie coming out about like
a Neil Diamond cover band starring you Jackman, sign me up.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
I'm in.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
Free, Be Free.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
So there's that.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
There's uh, And we talked about courtesy of the Red, White,
and Blue I can Country songs tend to be more
like you know, Lee Greenwood, God Bless the USA. But
rock songs you can't really find them. And today is
the anniversary of nine to eleven, twenty four years ago,
any Where Were You and the world stopped turning, Alan Jackson.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
That's another example.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
A lot of country songs don't how to handle patriotism.
Mostly these country songs are extremely hokey, and that's just
how they are.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Rock songs try to have.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
More of a message and whatever, but you can't find them.
They're just not that many true blue rock and roll
songs about how great America is. Part of it's because
half of the country seems to think we suck anyway.
I wonder, like I always wonder this. I wonder if
other countries are like this, or like like I wonder
if there's there's like half of the people in France
(34:27):
or sitting around going, hey, you know, it sucks us.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Like, I wonder if that's like or.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Is this just specific to the United States, where there's
seemingly a group of people, a large number of people
in this country who just hate America and they're Americans.
They just hate it and they say nothing but horrible
things about it.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
And I always threatened to leave, Like, is there.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
Some guy over like in England doing that, Like he's
like on the internet, but I hate England and I'm leaving,
Like do they have those kind of people there or
is it just us? Anyway? Also, speaking of American things
and things that happened in America, we were talking about
the Charlie Kirk shooting earlier. They still haven't found this guy,
(35:08):
Like I thought, like multiple times yesterday, and this is
the danger of the internet and social media. It looked
like they had caught the guy three times. There was
like three different dudes. It's like, turns out not the case.
That's where the internet's negative because the first guy they catch,
he becomes the guy in the minds of people, and
then they docks the guy and it's a whole damn deal.
(35:29):
The Internet has its negative side. I'd argue that most
of it's negative. All Right, we'll get into sports here
in just a bit, just a few minutes from now. Actually,
Trek Scobel, what are the odds that he wins the
cy Young Vegas will tell you that here momentarily.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
But speaking of patriotism, I.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
Want to play a good, true blue patriotic rock and
roll song this morning to wake you up in the
Motor City. And who better to wake you up in
the Motor City than the Motor City mad man himself
and his little rock and roll band called the Damn Yankees.
Speaker 4 (36:06):
Oh yeah, not the man just didn't Damn.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Yankee Josh in his show. Looking at sports, well, Trek
Scoobel is.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
Going to win the cy Young Award. If not, it'd
be one of the greatest upsets ever minus four thousand,
which means to win one hundred dollars you would have
to bet four thousand dollars. The next closest is Garrett Crochet.
He's plus sixteen hundred. He ain't gonna win. It's gonna
be Trek Scooble. Looking at some of the other awards, actually,
(36:42):
there are no odds given on the Manager of the Year,
but it's predicted that Aj Henchwin's Manager of the Year
as well, so there's another Tiger that could be scoring
something there. Outside of that. I don't think you're gonna
get a lot of guys in here, but it doesn't
matter because you win in a lot of baseball games.
They beat the hell out of the Yankees eleven to one.
They've outscored them twenty three to three in the first
two games. They've won a series against the season series
(37:04):
against the Yankees for the first time since twenty eleven.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
They've destroyed the Yankees bullpen.
Speaker 3 (37:11):
You got a good outing from Jack Flaherty who went
five scoreless innings.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Bullpen's been pretty good as well.
Speaker 3 (37:16):
I mean you've only given up won three runs through
two games, so everybody's pitched well. Football wise, that the
Bears coming to town on Sunday, the return of Ben Johnson,
and an interesting angle from amanron Is podcast on The
Saint Brown Podcast talked about people being upset after Week
(37:36):
one and is viewpoint on people being upset and why
people are so upset.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
I like this viewpoint. Go ahead, amenra I think.
Speaker 5 (37:44):
A lot of the fans are overreacting, which I get.
You know, we've kind of spoiled them with winning what
fifteen We won fifteen regular season games last year, only
lost too, so they're used to winning. I know, the
old Detroit Lions fans or were used to losing, so
now they're used to win, which is nice.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
We got to uphold that standard up winning, so I
think that's twofold.
Speaker 3 (38:06):
On one hand, You're right, the expectations have been elevated
and people are now expecting bigger things from you because
of fifteen win seasons and winning seasons and consecutive years
in playoff appearances. That's true, But also, don't talk like
you're the Kansas City Chiefs. You know, like they like
the Kansas City Chiefs fans expect super Bowls every year
because the Chiefs are in the Super Bowl every year
(38:27):
and they won Super Bowls. The Eagles fans the same
way the Patriots fans of a previous dynasty. I get
where you're coming from, and I don't disagree, but I
think it's a twofold thing. Yes, people are upset because
they expect regular season wins, but I think they also
get upset because they have expectations of wanting to do
more than just win fifteen games in the regular season.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
So you're kind of de swinging.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
There a little bit over raising the expectations by winning
fifteen regular season games. Let us not forget you got
your asses kicked against the command Skins last year. But
at least he wasn't dumping on the fans as we
mentioned earlier, like he didn't Alex and Zolonia and for
that we thank him after week one. Yeah, that's what
I'm saying. Well, the fans are not whoever's saying that's
(39:12):
not highly intelligent. See at least it sounds like aman
Ross Saint Brown thinks you're highly intelligent.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
So there you go.
Speaker 3 (39:21):
There's sports people still texting about songs that are rock
songs that are just one hundred percent patriotic. They don't exist.
Someone says, what about American Pie. American Pie on its
own is not some patriotic song. It's just like, basically
the song is that the framework of the song is
about the the Buddy Holly playing crash, the day of
(39:43):
the music die will the day the music died American Pie.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
But that song's more about.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
Like an American loss of innocence, kind of like you know,
like for some people, when Kennedy was shot, that was
your loss of innocence.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
There will be a group of kids.
Speaker 3 (39:57):
That are a young group now that their loss of
innocence may have come when Charlie Kirk was shot.
Speaker 2 (40:01):
That means that they liked him or knew him.
Speaker 3 (40:03):
But like when you saw Charlie Kirk get shot yesterday,
that might be your loss of innocence moment.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
For a generation, it was Kennedy.
Speaker 3 (40:09):
For some that might have been the Space Shuttle, the
Challenger blowing up could have been Buddy Holly dying in
a plane crash with the Big Bopper and Richie Allens.
But I wouldn't consider that. That's not a patriotic song.
It's just a really long song that features a lot
of weird s. One of six point seven y Troy's
wheels Josh in his show What's Happening all Right? So
(40:34):
back to the amen Ra audio from a second ago
from his podcast, and I said, I was kind of
torn on the messaging on it because on one hand,
he says like, hey, we've spoiled the fans by winning
fifteen games, so that I get why people are upset,
and that's true. You know, like this there's a franchise
that has a history of losing, so he've played great
football for a couple of years. So yes, and a
regular season, since you have spoiled the fans. That said,
(40:57):
the fans have not been spoiled in the postseason, which
is the bigger issue.
Speaker 2 (41:02):
Like last year was supposed to be the year.
Speaker 3 (41:04):
When you win fifteen games, you're also supposed to win
a playoff game, and.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
They didn't do that.
Speaker 3 (41:10):
So if you didn't hear that, here's the audio from
Amen ra.
Speaker 5 (41:13):
I think a lot of the fans are overreacting, which
I get. You know, we've kind of spoiled them with
winning what fifteen We won fifteen regular season games last year,
only lost too.
Speaker 3 (41:23):
So so if Lions fans are spoiled because you won
fifteen games in the regular season, then what are Eagles fans?
What are Chiefs fans? What are Patriots fans? Historically? Right?
But I laugh because what I heard him say that
talking about how they spoiled the fans. Have you ever
seen the movie Four Christmases. It's an underrated Vince Vaughn
(41:44):
Christmas movie. It's one of my it's a go to
watch for me at Christmas. And there's a scene where
he's talking with his dad played by Robert Duvall, and
his dad's explaining that talking about his divorced wife and
how he know his wife's nothing but a common street
hole and all that, and he talks about how he
spoiled his wife. Right, here's that audio.
Speaker 2 (42:05):
Better, I put a roof over her head, and I
never lied to her face.
Speaker 3 (42:09):
A spoiler is what I did.
Speaker 2 (42:11):
It has the same vibes? Does it not have similar vibes?
Speaker 5 (42:15):
I think a lot of the fans are overreacting, which
which I get. You know, we've kind of spoiled them
with winning what fifteen? We won fifteen regular season games
last year, only lost too.
Speaker 2 (42:25):
So I fetter.
Speaker 3 (42:27):
I put a roof over her head and I never lied.
Speaker 2 (42:29):
To her face. I spoiled the Lions fans. Is what
I did better.
Speaker 1 (42:34):
I put a roof over her head, and I never
lied to her face.
Speaker 3 (42:37):
A spoiler is what I did.
Speaker 2 (42:39):
The same vibes. So again, I'm with you.
Speaker 3 (42:44):
You want a lot of regular season games, and that's great.
Fans won a little bit more than that. Amen. Wrong.
Speaker 2 (42:50):
It's the Josh in his show Get the lead out
on Detroit Reels.
Speaker 3 (42:58):
The music is to It's louder and better on this
radio station. What can I say? Make sure you tell
your friends then too, because as we discussed a lot,
we're out here to play your elevator music. We're not
here to play doctor's office or dentist's office or optometrist
office music. Perhaps that's for some of you, Perhaps you know,
(43:19):
I don't know some Billy Joel might sit well with
some of you. Billy Joel is nice. No, they're wrong
with Billy Joel. But we're not here to play Billy Joel.
We're here to play music that's loud and proud. And
we like guitars around these here parks. We like guitars
on Detroit's wheels. It's reading this story, tell us story
(43:41):
about how it's it's brown bears, it's bear.
Speaker 2 (43:47):
Well, here's what. It was listed as Fat Bear Week. Okay,
Fat Bear Week in Alaska.
Speaker 3 (43:54):
It's an annual bracket style competition to crown the chunkiest
bear at Alaska's cat My National Park and Preserve. And
when I first read that, I thought that they were
looking for like, fat bearded gay men. When I saw
fat bit like just the headline Fat Bear Week, I'm like,
all right, this is my chance. Now. Granted I'm not gay,
(44:16):
but gay men love me. And I ask them, well,
why do you like me so much? They say, because
you're a bear. I think I could. I could infiltrate
a bear contest like that then probably win all of
my gay friends for whatever reason. I think they're only
my friends because they think I'm hot. And there is
something flattering about finding a group of people who find
you attractive, even if there's nothing that's gonna come of it.
(44:38):
Because I'm not going to bone those guys. I'm not gay,
but and they know that, but they still try. They're persistent.
The only group of people who are still allowed to
be persistent and a sexual nature is gay men. When
they've had a few drinks and they're around their straight
dude friends, still get a little handsy and they get
a little persistent. If a guy gets a little too
(45:00):
persistent when he's approaching a woman in a bar, he
gets maced and then probably arrested. A gay man gets
a little handsy when he's at a bar and gets persistent,
and we laugh, we say that's funny. But gay guys
love me. I am a hero of gays, and I
don't know why. I mean, I have nothing against them
or anything. I like them, but gay people love me,
(45:21):
and it's all based on my beauty.
Speaker 2 (45:23):
But I'm only beautiful to gay men.
