Speaker 4 (02:05):
Let's get you going this morning.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
Josh, it is shu. Yeah. Last night Camerica Park hot, damn.
It was a good time, wasn't it. Playoff atmosphere, that's
what you keep hearing. Tell me about it, ajhnch.

Speaker 5 (02:24):
It has so much energy in the park and you
have scoobl and Brown on the mound. I mean, it
just all feels like a heightened game.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
Well it certainly was because both of these teams are
fighting for the number one spot in the American League.
And the game did not disappoint Tigers. A walk off
walk in the tenth inning worked by Glabor Torres, one
nil won nothing in the final score last night and
extra innings. An amazing performance from Trek Schooble. This guy

(02:53):
that was a cy young game like he's had some
kind of up and down ones here recently. Last night
with a little help from his friends, great defensive game
last night, they mowed a runner down at the plate.
There was also a home run that was stolen in
center field by Winzel Perez, so he had a little help.

(03:14):
But still seven innings, three hits, two walks, ten strikeouts
for Terrek Schooble and dig this. The last nine hitters
he faced were retired in order and he struck out.

Speaker 4 (03:27):
Six of those.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
But then the bullpen came in and pitched three innings
of one hit, no run baseball, Thank you very much,
Finnegan invest What a day though, What a great vibe
at the ballpark, What a ballgame, Like a lot of
regular season ball games are just kind of there, right,
they kind of exist. You flip it on, it's in
the background. You walk in and out of the house.

(03:49):
Maybe you go mow the lawn, maybe you go run
an air and turn the game on the radio, then
come back home.

Speaker 4 (03:53):
And turn it on.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
You're not fully invested in or paying attention to the game.

Speaker 4 (03:59):
That wasn't last last night. Two dudes trying.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
To get the cy young local cat Hunter Brown versus
Trek Schooble, And it was fantastic last night. It's as
exciting as a nothing, nothing game in the tenth inn
he can be. And then you got Glaver and tell
me you weren't sitting there watching Glaber going they're gonna
throw something in the dirt and he's gonna weigh that,
and we're going to the eleventh No, my man said,

(04:23):
I'm gonna spit on that one. Took the walk, walk
off walk won nothing series victory over the Astros and
the Tigers are officially back. Won tennis. First pitch today
from ber Valdez, who hasn't been as good this year,
but he's a guy who has stud potential versus Charlie Morton,
the guy that won a World Series with the Astros.

(04:46):
Nothing new on the Trey Hendrickson front. He and the
Bengals still can't come to terms on guaranteed money. So
he's still out there. What are you waiting for, Lions?
Give him a call.

Speaker 4 (04:57):
Yes, he's the Josh and His Show.

night and she had this list of the most played
classic rock songs of twenty twenty five. Now, I want
to be very clear, I did not view us as
a classic rock radio station because we are not a

rock category. If I asked you to, yes, what the
most played classic rock song on classic rock radio in

(06:05):
twenty twenty five is? Would you know that answer. Now
you have to think about this for a second. You
have to think about a song that probably annoys the
hell out of you because you've heard it a million times.
If it is the most played song on classic rock radio,
that means it is a song you have heard one
million times this year.

Speaker 4 (06:24):

And Tyler? How did you guess Living on a prayer
by bon Jovi? Ah, listen to a lot of radio.
I work on the When my wife asked me this
question last night, I instantly said, bon Jovi as well.
It's also a bad ass karaoke song.

Speaker 4 (11:08):
It lives in my head. Do you actually like bon Jovi?

Speaker 5 (11:12):
I get that, you get them on the ban.

Speaker 3 (11:14):
Yeah he sucks now, but he used to kick ass
with Slippery when wet and New Jersey and this guy
was knee deep in poon so good for him. Oh yeah,
I couldn't lose it.

Speaker 4 (11:24):
Three doors down.

Speaker 3 (11:25):
Superman's involved in it too, Superman, Cryptoa. You get the point.
So what I screwed it up? Deal with it? Grill's

ass with a monument grills Denali six burner grill with
led controls. I actually have a monument grill at home.

(11:48):
They're great. Grill's Gone Wild, So be listening in the
seven o'clock hour and you could be grilling and chilling
and Kroger's going to hook you up with the meat.

Speaker 4 (11:59):
That's good.

Speaker 3 (12:01):
Man. When you hear this song, you knew that it
was one in the morning and you were horny as hell.

Speaker 4 (12:07):
That is the Girl's Gone Wild theme.

Speaker 3 (12:09):
I think Girl's Gone Wild, and I started thinking about
girls Gone Wild, and then I started thinking about how
cool in my mind it would have been to have
been in the Girls Gone Wild World in like two
thousand and seven, and now I look back on it,
it's kind of creepy, but back.

Speaker 4 (12:24):
Then it wasn't.

Speaker 3 (12:25):
And you'd watch that infomersial it would pop up, and
every time boobies would pop up, there'd be like some
nineteen sixties Batman type graphic pow zoom sing there like
no show me the hooters, but you never got them.
You never got those knockers. Of course, I never actually
bought Girls Gone Wild. Now, these kids today don't know

(12:48):
what it's like to have to pine after Girls Gone
Wild or watching porn on their phones in Middle Specio Station.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
The Josh Ennis Show on one oh six point seven DOUBLELLZ,
Detroit's Wheels.

Speaker 3 (13:11):
Welcome in Everybody's seven o four going on seven o
five Josh Innis Show. Good morning, It's Amy Adams' birthday today.

Speaker 4 (13:21):
Do you guys like redheads?

Speaker 3 (13:25):
Same? Thank you?

Speaker 4 (13:28):
I agree?

Speaker 3 (13:30):
Amy Adams probably at her hottest in Ricky Bobby, although
looks very good in American Hustle, in a movie called Enchanted,
Who is the Hottest Redhead of all Time? There's a
question for you at eight seven seven nine eight eight
one oh sixty seven. Who is the Hottest redhead of

(13:54):
all time? You can also text that in Hey, where
are you at this morning? Texters? I told you to
save the number and start texting us. Text the word
Josh in your message to five nine five seven zero.
I've gotten like two text messages this morning, and both
of that bon Jovi sucks. Well that's not nice.

Speaker 4 (14:13):
Then used to be the case.

Speaker 3 (14:15):
But text the word Josh and your message to five
nine five seven zero or call eight seven seven nine
eight eight one oh six seven Amy Adams birthday, and
if you want to feel old, she is fifty one
is Amy Adams. So if you want to get in
on that. My favorite would actually be the is Love Fisher,

(14:38):
the chick that was Vince Vond's girlfriend, the crazy Chicken
wedding Crashers. She'd be on there. If there was like
a mount red more, if there was like a mount
rushmore of hot red headed chicks and weird like as dudes,
we really dig red headed chicks. But like, do you
think women sit around and are like boil, I love
redheaded guys? And who are good looking redheaded guys anyway?

(15:02):
Like I can't even think, like Opie, like who are
dudes that you're like? Do women get turned on by
red haired guys at all? Like? I think dudes if
you see a certain look, like there's a whole subgenre,
like if you go to the Hub, there's a whole
subgenre on there of redheads. But do you think women
seek out red haired men? No, they're frightening. My stepbrother

(15:26):
is red haired. He's he has magical powers, frightening. It's like,
you know who's red haired? Opie? And that guy didn't
that didn't stop the child molestation at Penn State. Those
are the two red haired guys and Jason Garrett. Nobody
associates red hair with anything good on men women, though

(15:47):
we associate it with Amy Adams and Isla Fisher and
Debrah Messing. I just got a text about Deborah Messing.
You're damn right you did, and of course one of
the obvious ones, you know, Ginger, that's true. So text
the word Josh and your message to five nine five
seven zero, the phone number is always eight seven, seven, nine,
eight eight one oh six seven In this hour, we're

(16:08):
gonna get you a grill, and we're gonna get you
some meat. Potentially it's grill's gone wild thanks to Ronaldi's sausage.
We're gonna play guess the animal fart for that opportunity.
One of six point seven Detroit Wheels Hot redheads, This one,
says young Lucy. I know about that. Not positive on

(16:32):
that one there, Fred. I'm trying to see it and
I just can't. But you do you, bro? I mean, honestly,
I think I might rather nail DESI all right, let's
see here, let's take a look at sports. Hey, let
me give you a better bed for that. I don't

(16:53):
like that that. I need some more energy. There you go.
Last night was truly remarkable baseball game to watch, and
it ended in the most remarkable fashion all the rain
of three and two or Tautorres pay Master Dogs patience,

(17:14):
isn't the two? A walk off walk is how the
game ended, by the way, fun fat So I was
thinking about this, like, how often have there been baseball
games that have ended won nothing with a walk off walk?
Well for the Tigers, the last time it happened was
nineteen forty eight. That is the first one nothing walk

(17:38):
off walk since nineteen forty eight. The recipient of that
walk was hoot Ever's hoot Evers. Names used to be awesome.
Now names suck.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
You know.

Speaker 3 (17:50):
It's like, hey, this is this is you know my
son Tank, you know. But now now names suck. But
back in the day you had names like Hootever's. I
think somebody needs to name their kid hoot. I think
we need more hoots. One nothing was the final last
night Trek Scooble beast mode seven innings, three hits, two walks,

(18:12):
ten strikeouts. Then after that the bullpen said.

Speaker 4 (18:14):
Don't worry, we got you.

Speaker 3 (18:15):
Doug Finnegan invest three innings, pitched, one hit, zero runs,
Scooble his last nine hitters six strikeouts, and all of
them were retired in order. So my man was out
there dealing great defense last night. Fun game. But we
should mention that Hunter Brown, he of Saint Clair Shores,

(18:37):
he of been a cy young candidate as well. Hunter
Brown six innings, five hits, no runs, three walks, six strikeouts.

Speaker 4 (18:46):
Pretty strong ballgame per Hunter.

Speaker 3 (18:48):
But the hero of the game was Glaber Torres and
he was the hero without even swinging the bat. Tell
me about a glabor basis loaded three two.

Speaker 6 (18:58):
You know, it's like, I just take a little bit
more patient normal, I say. Before I know he throw
me a bunch of spins. So just waiting for that
piece and if I don't see anything goes on, just
take it. And you know, I know, I know take
a wall when I help to win the team, so
I do them.

Speaker 3 (19:17):
It's truly simple, isn't it the way he broke that
down as well. I know he's gonna throw me ball
with lots of spin. I know walk wins the game.
I don't swing the bat, simple enough. Tigers looked for
the sweep this afternoon at America from Ravaldez. He's pretty good,
but not so much this year. He's had a lot
of drama with the Astros. This year he'll take on

(19:38):
Charlie Morton, former World Series champion with the Astros, so
that should be a good win today. That's at won ten.
Nothing new on Trey Hendrickson, and be nice to get
him here. It'd be nice to make a trade for him.
Nobody's made a trade for him yet, but the Bengals
have also not given him the money he wants and
guarantees so that saga continues to play out. And remember

(19:59):
this as bad as you think you might have it,
you could be the Indianapolis Colts who named their starting
quarterback yesterday. That starting quarterback is Daniel Jones. Look, I
can't promise that you're gonna win this awesome monument grills
d Nali's six burner grill. I can't promise you that,

(20:21):
but I can promise you're gonna have a chance to
earn that. And I can also promise that if you
do earn the opportunity to win that you are certainly
going to get fifty bucks from Crowker. This all thanks
to our friends at Rinaldi Sausage Grill's Gone Wild.

Speaker 4 (20:40):
Here's how we're gonna do it today.

Speaker 5 (20:41):
You have to earn it.

Speaker 4 (20:42):
Today.

Speaker 3 (20:42):
We're gonna play one of my favorite games. It's called
Guess the Animal Fart. How does it work? Well, it's simple.
I play a fart that comes from an animal. You
tell me what animal is responsible for the flagelence. If
you can do that, you'll be going home with fifty
bucks from over to stock up on some meat, and

(21:03):
you may be rolling out of here. With an eight
hundred dollars grill. Thanks for Ronaldi Sausage. So eight seven
seven nine eight eight one o six seven is the number.
I love it. People are blowing up the phones. You
haven't even heard the animal fart? You prize, big sons
of bitches. Patience may be a virtue, as mister Benetti
said last night, here we go, guys. Are you ready?

Speaker 4 (21:30):
Here is today's animal fart? What do you think? What
animal is responsible for that? Goodness?

Speaker 3 (21:49):
If you think you know? Eight seven seven nine eight
eight one o six seven eight seven seven nine eight
eight one o six seven, guess the animal far If
you can guess that animal, fifty bucks to Kroger.

Speaker 4 (22:05):
I'm sure they're proud.

Speaker 3 (22:08):
And maybe maybe an eight hundred dollars grill, an eight
hundred dollars monument six burner grill from our friends at
Ronaldi Sausage. I'm sure they're proud as well. Eight seven
seven nine eight eight one oh six seven. I'm gonna
get someone on right now and give it a shot.
Let's see here, all right, wheels, can you guess the

(22:30):
animal fart?

Speaker 1 (22:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (22:33):
Is that a beef?

Speaker 1 (22:34):
Part?

Speaker 3 (22:34):
Is that from a cow that is not a cow incorrect.
So you know it's not a cow scratch cow all in.
But if you guess that animal fart, you can stock
up on all the cow you want because you'll be
grilling and chilling. It's grill's gone wild. Let's go like
it or not. This is the Josh Ishals Josh Innis Show.

(22:56):
We're still looking for a winner. I got fifty bucks
to Kroger to go stock up on all the meat
you want. And I got that six burner monument denally
badass grill that you could win. But to get that far,
you have to guess the animal fart. If you haven't

(23:16):
heard the animal fart to today, here is today's flatulence.
What animal is responsible for that? Goodness? That's what I'm
looking for here right now. The phone number is eight
seven seven nine eight eight one oh six seven eight
seven seven nine eight eight one oh six seven. Let's
go to the phones. Hello, guess the animal fart. I'm

(23:39):
just gonna go with the long, deep part. I'm gonna
go a gorilla. That's a solid guess. And I also
liked the way you came to that guess with a long,
deep fart. But no, it was not a gorilla, but
I like when people think about things like that.

Speaker 1 (23:53):
I like that.

Speaker 3 (23:54):
I like when people like explain to me their process
of why they guessed what animal was farting.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
I like that.

Speaker 3 (24:01):
Thank you, sir Wheels. Guess the animal fart? Is it
a hippopotamus? It is not a hippopotamus fart. What made
you think it was a hippopotamus fart? It doesn't. No,
I agree. For a hint for people, I will tell
you this. It's kind of it's deceptive. A lot of
people are guessing big animal, big animal, big animal. It's

(24:23):
a little deceptive. I'll give you that.

Speaker 1 (24:25):
All right.

Speaker 3 (24:25):
Let's see here. We got fifty dollars to Kroger to
stuck up on all the meat you can handle, maybe
a grill. Let's find the answer. Guess the animal fart
you're on.

Speaker 4 (24:35):
It is not a beever fart.

Speaker 3 (24:37):
I didn't think though the bank for the dance.

Speaker 4 (24:39):
Have a great week you too.

Speaker 3 (24:42):
You see a beaver fart actually goes by a different name.
Waka Waka Grill's gone wild Man. This is a really
cool package we got for you here thanks to our
friends of Minaldi Sausage.

Speaker 4 (24:57):
Eight hundred dollars.

Speaker 3 (24:58):
Badass Grill the cash from Kroger to go buy the
meat to throw on that bad boy. But all you
got to do is tell us what animal is farting.
It's called guess the animal fart. We've had tons of guesses, camels, pigs,
I mean, monkeys. Some guy called and said his mother

(25:22):
in law, he's creative. We need to find an answer
to this though.

Speaker 4 (25:27):
That's what we need here.

Speaker 3 (25:28):
I need to give I need to give away this Kroger.
I need to get you qualified for the grill. We
gotta go. We got other things to do. Let's go
to the phones, hell wheels. Guess the animal fart. That
is a deer fart. Absolutely, it's a deer fart. Congratulation.

Speaker 4 (25:46):
How did you guess deer fart?

Speaker 3 (25:48):
It sounded pretty clean, So deers have clean farts. Oh yeah,
bet you carry it?

Speaker 1 (25:54):

Speaker 3 (25:56):
What's your name? Brother Jason calling from we're calling out
to nobody. Well, congratulations, my friend. What radio station fitting
to have you grilling and chilling? One oh six seven whales?

Speaker 1 (26:09):
Baby, WLLZ Detroit and iHeartRadio station.

Speaker 3 (26:14):
All right, everybody, we are an exactly o'clock and welcome
in the Josh Any Show. Howdy, it's walking in Royal
Oak the other day and I walked by the Royal
Oak High School area over there, and I saw a
sign on one of the marquees that said you go

(26:35):
back to school and all that and then Labor Day
holiday off. I'm like, why didn't you just go back
to school after Labor Day? Maybe I'm wrong, but I
feel like back in my day, we used to go
to school a lot later than the kids do now.

Speaker 4 (26:53):
Like I see some kids say.

Speaker 3 (26:54):
We're back in school, It's like August tenth, we're back.

Speaker 4 (26:56):
I'm like, like, go back to school in September after
Labor Day?

Speaker 3 (27:01):
Go back to school? What is the issue? I don't
understand why this is so difficult. I missed school, missed
high school.

Speaker 4 (27:09):
Isn't that weird?

Speaker 3 (27:10):
Because most people like in high school was the worst
time in my life. I enjoyed it, but I also
got to just hang out with the teachers. So I like,
I would just walk into the teachers a loud and
just sit down and drink coffee. And eventually some teachers
who didn't like me would get kind of pissed. They'd
be like, why is he allowed in here? Nobody really
had an answer. I was just in there just hanging out.

(27:31):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (27:32):
I liked high school, didn't get late in high school
though I was a virgin in high school. I know
you're shocked, but.

Speaker 3 (27:43):
I kind of miss it, you know, I look back
on them, especially like in this era, Like, I think
there's something that the kids of this era lose that
we had that they don't like. I was reading a
story about all these different states that bands cell phone
use in schools, and I was in high schoo right
at the outset of cell phones. So if you came

(28:04):
to school with a cell phone, like we would have
a metal detector check sometimes and you get your phone confiscated.
But these were phones that were like Nocchi of brick phones.
You know, you do you play snake, and that was
the extent of what you could do. Fact when your
mom would tell you that every text you sent costs
like twenty dollars, so don't send texts. But I think

(28:25):
I think there's something that kids in this era are losing,
mostly because they're probably just sending nudes to each other
in school all day on their cell phones. Because you
can do everything on a cell phone. I think there's
some sort of wonderment that came with being a kid
in a different era. Like, I'm sure someone listened to me,
you know, talking about being a high schooler in the
early two thousands. There's some guy listening that went to

(28:46):
high school in nineteen seventy nine. That's like, you have
no idea, brother, Like, it's wild to me that just
back in the seventies, dudes would just smoke in high school.
That's wild to me, Like you just walk in the
back and here we are just smoking.

Speaker 4 (28:58):
No big deal.

Speaker 3 (29:01):
These kids today, they'll never get it. It's just a
different world. All right, we're gonna do sports here in
a few minutes. How about Surgey finally getting his number retired.
They finally buried the hatchet and got it done. It's
only been twenty years. Tigers continue to roll and other
stuff that's coming.

Speaker 4 (29:19):
Up in sports. We'll do that for you.

Speaker 3 (29:20):
Man, it is a great day.

Speaker 4 (29:22):
It's overcast.

Speaker 3 (29:23):
Allegedly one O six point seven Detroit's wheels Josh Innis show, Hello.

Speaker 4 (29:37):
Last night. What a ballgame last night?

Speaker 1 (29:39):
Man, Just.

Speaker 3 (29:41):
Very rarely does a regular season game have that kind
of both very rarely do you get that? But it
was something special. Of course, two cy young candidates although
I think the one that's gonna win it is right
here and is staying right here in Detroit. But one
nothing was the final, a walk off, tenth inning walk.

(30:01):
Glabor Torres worked the walk, and the skipper was impressed
by the two starting pitchers.

Speaker 5 (30:07):
Both guys on the mau were incredible.

Speaker 3 (30:09):
You know, Terek was.

Speaker 4 (30:12):
Was exceptional.

Speaker 5 (30:13):
We put a ton of pressure on their guy and
seemingly had a ton of opportunities which don't come around
very often against against Hunter Hunter.

Speaker 4 (30:22):
Is Hunter Brown, of course, of Saint Clair's shores.

Speaker 3 (30:24):
He went six innings, walked three, struck out six, didn't
allow a run.

Speaker 4 (30:29):
But Scooble was better.

Speaker 3 (30:31):
Seven innings, three hits, two walks, ten strikeouts. He struck
out six of the last nine dudes.

Speaker 4 (30:37):
He faced.

Speaker 3 (30:39):
Incredible ballgame last night with incredible defense, just all around fun,
great atmosphere at the ballpark, Like that's what you're looking for,
if you're looking for postseason type vibes. You got that
there at the ballpark last night. And in fact, aj
Hinch talked about that.

Speaker 5 (30:57):
It has so much energy in the park and you
have Brown on the mound.

Speaker 4 (31:01):
I mean, it just all feels like a heightened game.

Speaker 6 (31:05):
And it was.

Speaker 3 (31:06):
If you're wondering, the guard Indians loss last night, so
they now are nine and a half back of the Tigers.
The Royals, who have sneakily won eight of ten, they're
actually closer. They're nine back. But I'm calling the race
right now. If the Tigers keep playing like this, ain't
nobody gonna touch them. A week and a half ago
it was a different scenario. But as we sit here today,

(31:29):
the Tigers are gonna win the division and may end
up with the best record in the American League. Other stuff,
Sergei got is going to have his number retired, which
is good. They finally buried the hatchet there, the Illitch's
and Sergey finally look, I say, bury the hatchet. But
it's been twenty years, you know how it all played
out with the contract stuff. So everybody knows that one

(31:50):
of the most beloved figures in this city's history gonna
get his number retired. One hundred year anniversary of the
franchise this year should be a fun one there. And
speaking of guys have a history here and I don't
even think it's arguable, at least in the modern era,
the best quarterback to play here is Matt Stafford. And
Matt Stafford's been dealing with injuries all off season and

(32:10):
all throughout the preseason.

Speaker 4 (32:12):
Well, he was back on the practice field for the Rams.
What does that mean?

Speaker 3 (32:15):
I don't know. I mean their season kicks off here
pretty soon and he hadn't done much. He's thirty seven,
He's dealt with a ton of injuries. Will father time
kick Stafford's ass? I don't know, But he's back on
the practice field for the Rams. And that is sports
six seven one those six point seven Detroit's wheels Tomorrow morning,

(32:36):
seven o'clock gow or another chance for you to go
wild with grills Gone Wild Lanks for our friends are
called the Sausage be listening saw This story headline reads
Classic rock and AI a dangerous combination question mark. This

(32:57):
question comes up from Ultimate Classic Rock. It's a website,
and it comes up because if you're ever on Facebook,
somebody you know has shared some AI generated image like
I'll give you the best example I've seen lately that
people actually bought to be real. Well, first off, there's
a story going around that Phil Collins is on the

(33:19):
verge of death. It seems like that's not true. He's
obviously not doing overly well. Like when he performs, he
sits on a stool. I don't even know if he
performs anymore. So obviously Phil Collins isn't doing great. But
there was this rumor going around that he was basically
on his deathbed and I saw an AI created image

(33:39):
Phil Collins and like Paul McCartney was in a hospital
room with him, something that if you used common sense,
you're like, why would this happen? But people don't use
common sense. We talk about that on here all the time.
That's why people get scammed by you know, Neil Diamond
on Instagram, because they're just stupid. Then they don't think.
They don't use common sense. They don't ask why is

(34:00):
Paul McCartney hanging out with Phil Collins in a hospital bed?
And why is no reputable news outlet saying that to
Phil Collins is on the verge of debt. The only
place you see it is an AI on Facebook. But
this goes back to another point that I bring up
often old people should not be allowed on the Internet,

(34:22):
and to be fair, I don't think young people should
be allowed on the internet as well.

Speaker 4 (34:27):
But I'm a big believer that if you're going to
be on the Internet.

Speaker 3 (34:30):
Over the age of sixty five, you have to pass
a test, and it has to be a tough test
because and look, I get this, this isn't your world
if you're sixty five, This ain't your world. The world
of AI. I mean, look, a lot of young people
are fooled by AI. I can't imagine somebody's grandpa going
on Facebook and not being fooled by AI. But you

(34:55):
should have to pass a test, like an old person
would probably have to pass a test to I have
a car. You wouldn't trust pop pop to go drive
around you know, it's seventy five years old. They without
passing a test.

Speaker 4 (35:07):
I wouldn't think.

Speaker 3 (35:10):
So why should grandpa be able to get on the
Internet and fall for scams and believe that Phil Collins
is hanging out with Paul McCartney in a hospital room
if you want to get in eight seven seven nine
eight eight one oh six seven. This is something I
truly believe in. I'm not a person that has a
lot of strong beliefs on things, you know, but one
thing I'm a big believer in.

Speaker 4 (35:33):
Is that the Internet is not for old people.

Speaker 3 (35:36):
And I think that old people should have to pass
a test to be allowed to be on Facebook or
on the Internet in general. And I'm doing that to
protect old people from themselves, because old people are the
ones that are getting scammed on a regular basis.

Speaker 4 (35:53):
Eight seven seven nine eight eight one oh six seven.
That's the number. Eight seven seven nine eight eight one
oh six seven.

Speaker 3 (35:59):
You can also text text the word Josh and your
message to five nine to five seven zero. I've got
a story here. Seven things Metro Detroit teachers want parents
to know before the new school year. I guarantee those
parents ain't gonna listen. We'll talk about this call the
Josh Innis Show now at eight seven seven ninety eight

(36:21):
eight one o six seven six point seven Detroit's Wheels.
Josh in his show, I was reading some of these
things from teachers who offered up in your advice to
parents as the school year starts, and one of the
main messages is you need routines at home and you
need to get the kids going to bed early, even

(36:42):
a week before school starts. These kids ain't going to
bed early. There are way too many things to distract
kids now to get them to go to bed early. Dude,
I as a kid didn't go to bed early. I'd
stay up all night watching Skinemax and playing Sega. So
these kids have their phones and everything. Come on, you
think some kids are sitting around going to bed early.

(37:04):
They're up watching porn and buying crypto with their parents'
credit cards while they sleep.

Speaker 4 (37:11):
Think that they're going to bed early.

Speaker 3 (37:13):
Like I feel bad for teachers in that way, because
it's gotta be tougher to get through to kids in
this era. Like I was reading a story about I
believe it was out of Alabama where they banned cell
phones from the school and just to hear how sick
these kids are about their cell phones. Or you could
say they're cunning if you will, depends on how you

(37:34):
want to view it. These kids are playing the game,
like when they go to school, they put them in
those little bags. Like when you go see a stand
up show from someone who might say something controversial and
they make you put the the phones in the bags.
You know, these kids are getting burner phones and throwing
those in the bags and then just holding onto their

(37:56):
actual phones and still using them during class. And it's
not just kids. We all are addicted to phones. So
if you're in a profession that requires you to try
to teach somebody and hold somebody's attention. Best of luck.
I'm like, I was, actually, there's another story. This is
about college athletes. I was actually listening to a podcast,

(38:16):
a really good podcast, Josh Pate's College Football Podcast.

Speaker 4 (38:20):
If you don't listen to it, it's very good.

Speaker 3 (38:23):
And he was telling a story about how he talked
with a major program coach who said, he's got a
guy who is in a battle to be the starting
quarterback in a major program, and they can't get this
guy to get off his phone for five minutes to
learn anything. Like he will sit in meetings constantly on
his phone.

Speaker 4 (38:41):
He is addicted to his phone.

Speaker 3 (38:45):
So I feel bad for teachers having to deal with
cell phones. Like when I was into high school, that's
right when cell phones were becoming a thing, little flip phones,
Nokia bricks all that if you were seeing with a
cell phone, it would be taken from you. But really,
what were you doing with a cell phone in two
thousand and four. It's not like you could text easily.
It's not like you can go on the internet easily

(39:07):
just a phone. Now the world is in your pocket
and every possible distraction is there? Teachers haven't rubbed for that? Man?
I feel bad for him. Blows AnyWho welcome in one
oh six point seven Detroit's Wheels the greatest American rock
band of all time, that is Night Ranger, followed closely

(39:29):
by the dann Yankees. Hello Josh in a show thinking
about Sergey finally getting his number retired. It's going to
be a big ceremony during this upcoming season one hundredth
anniversary centennial celebration of the Wings. We got a text
message here. This is from Kyle. Hello Kyle, Josh, What

(39:53):
or who will be the next Detroit athlete to have
a number retired? I would think the argument would be
made for either Miggie or Verlander. Now Verlander's still playing,
and who the hell knows when Verlander's gonna stop. Really,
somebody should stop him, Like he's got a hot wife,

(40:15):
go home. But we know that you're intimate with your
hot wife. We've seen the pictures. Just enjoy life that way.
So I'd say Verlander and Miggie are certainly up there.
Say the thing about retiring numbers is, to me, you
have to be really really special, Like this isn't like

(40:36):
the Boston Celtics, where like, if you're the white dude
that wipes the sweat off the floor, you get your
number retired. Do you know how many retired numbers the
Boston Celtics have? Anyone twenty four? There aren't any numbers left, Like,
not everybody was that great, so you gotta be really special.

(40:57):
Stafford in, Stafford's probably gonna be a Hall of Famer.
But the thing about Stafford that's interesting is I saw
this on Twitter a couple months ago or weeks ago.
One of the local sports people. It was like, as
Stafford a Hall of Famer, And honestly, my first thought
is no. And I bet if you go and look
at the status, you can make a case for it.
But I'd say we're kind of lowering the bar a

(41:20):
little bit of Stafford gets in. That's not a knock
on Stafford, Like he's the best quarterback at least in
the modern era here, and he's good and he's finally
got the Super Bowl and all that. Like, I like Stafford.
This is not an anti Stafford take. This is not
a Matt Stafford sucks. This is not screw you, Matt Stafford.
This is just my first thought if your first instinct
when someone asked you, as someone a Hall of Famer,

(41:41):
what is the first thing that comes to your mind?
And if you say Matt Stafford, my first thought.

Speaker 4 (41:45):
Is not Hall of Fame.

Speaker 3 (41:48):
But I also don't think like Eli Manning's a Hall
of Famer either, Like, yes, he won two Super Bowls, Yes,
that's great. Outside of that, Eli Manning wasn't some superhuman quarterback.
He had two lucky catches in the Super Bowl that
won him two super Bow. I don't think Eli Manning's
a Hall of Famer either, But I would say Megatron,
dude to three time All Pro retired early on. Do

(42:12):
you realize it's been ten years since Megatron retired. Think
about that and think about how bad the the Lions
were at that time, where it's like, yeah, I'm thirty
years old, in my prime, three time All Pro, one
of the most dominant pass catchers in the game, and
the Lions completely wrecked my desire to play football.

Speaker 4 (42:31):
Imagine Megatron with what they do now.

Speaker 3 (42:33):
Geez. So I'd say, Lions wise, you need to be
looking at Stafford or Megatron for retired numbers potentially, and
the Tigers you'd be looking at Verland Verlander's a lock,
and so is Miggy. You're not gonna take a three
thousand hit, five hundred home run guy and not retire

(42:53):
his number for your team, So that's an obvious one,
and so is Verlander.

Speaker 4 (42:59):
I think that's you.

Speaker 3 (43:00):
I'm just thinking about those two teams at the moment.
If you've got anybody to add, you can text the
word Josh and your potential retired number five nine five
seven zero.

Speaker 4 (43:10):
Let me know.

Speaker 3 (43:10):
You can also call eight seven seven nine eight eight
one oh six seven.

Speaker 1 (43:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (43:16):
I can't think of anybody from the Pistons who hasn't
had a number retired that needs a number retired.

Speaker 4 (43:22):
Josh and a show it's wheels.

Speaker 3 (43:27):
Again. People are texting in. Most people are saying Verlanders
should have his number retired.

Speaker 4 (43:31):
I agree with that.

Speaker 3 (43:34):
You look at the Pistons retired numbers. The Pistons had
two prolific eras, right, the two championship eras. Yeah, the
bad boys you had back back to work forg got
this is back to work, but you know, go to
work that era, So it all makes sense. The guys
who have numbers retired makes sense. Bill Embier makes sense

(43:56):
from that era. Zeke makes sense from that era. Joe
makes sense from that era up then you've gotten Rodman.
Then you go to the next era and you got Ripped,
and he got Chauncey and you got Wallace. Those all
make sense. There's nobody that isn't in there that should be.

(44:19):
So there aren't a ton. I mean, let's be real,
we haven't had immense success in sports recently. So I'd say,
if you had to take three or four guys whose
numbers could be retired soon. Obviously we're talking about this
because Sergey's number is finally gonna be retired, you would
go Stafford's of possibility, megatrons of possibility. Verlander is a lock.

(44:43):
I'd say Verlander is the only lock. MIGGI, I guess
MIGGI MIGGI and Verlander. I was talking with Tony Trovado
the other day and we're talking about Verlander and who
he's most associated with, and it's wild to think that
it's good. Pretty soon, it's gonna be a decade since
ver got traded. But no matter what I think, Verlander

(45:05):
is still associated with the Tigers, and he associates himself
with the Tigers. He's a dude that is Detroit he
represents Detroit. He loves Detroit, still runs out to eminem
like he's a Detroit dude. And I worked in Houston
and lived in Houston. I was at the World Series
when they won in twenty seven. I was on the
radio begging the Astros at the time to go trade

(45:26):
for Verlander because I wanted to cover a team that
won the World Series. So go get Verlander. But I
don't think anybody thinks of Verlander with the Astros. I
just I think he's still associated with Detroit. So Verlander
and Miggy are the only two
