Speaker 1 (00:00):
The free, new and improved Illyard Radio.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
App Listen for all your music radio and podcasts. Three
never sounded so good.

Speaker 1 (00:07):
The Josh Innis Show on one six point seven Dollz
Detroit's Wheels.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
Alright, six o'clock, Straight up, Josh Innis Show. Good morning, Detroitters,
Time to wake up. It's football day. The NFL is back.
Hot damn, we're cooking now. We get the Cowboys and

(00:37):
the Eagles tonight at eight thirty. Look.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
One thing that I will never get.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
Used to or appreciate is the fact that Eastern time
zone we're playing football games at eight freaking thirty. And
if you've lived your whole life with that, I'm sure
that's fine and it doesn't bother you all that much.
And I've never lived on the West Coast, so I
don't know what it's like to have football started in
the afternoon on Sunday nights or Thursday nights or Monday nights.
But generally speaking, my primetime viewing experience has been that

(01:08):
of like seven twenty, which.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
Okay, is fine.

Speaker 3 (01:12):
Really the worst part is that you have to wait
till freaking eight.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
Twenty to watch a football game. That's the worst.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
Like the getting having to get up at four in
the morning after a game that's at eight twenty. That's
one thing, but you can eventually live with it.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
You deal with it. It is what it is. But
just waiting until eight thirty.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
But then the cool part is, see, I am accustomed
to football games starting at noon because the last ten
years of my life I've lived in the Central time zone,
so I'm used to having to get up balls early
to make sure I'm tailgating and good and looped up
for a noon game. The beauty is you can wait
now until one o'clock. That's where the time benefits you more.
But you guys, know that you've lived it. Many of

(01:53):
you have lived at your whole lives. I gotta wait
till damn eight twenty tonight for that game, but you
get the Eagle.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
And the Cowboys.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
Got to see what the Cowboys look like without Micah Parsons,
and you get to see what they look like with
Dak until he gets hurt.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
So there's that.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
Every morning at this time, we try to play a
song for you to wake you up. Get you going,
get you out of bed, get you in the truck,
gets you in the car, get you in the carpool line.
Whatever it is, something to wake your ass up. We
call it rocked and loaded. We want to get you
rocked and loaded this morning and by request a random request,

(02:34):
and you can always send in your request.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
You can text them in whatever.

Speaker 3 (02:38):
You can go to my Instagram and DM me and
say hey for Rocked and Loaded. Play blank, blank and
blank cool. This is from Glenn who's in Troy. Hello
Glenn and Troy. He said, this is a random one
and you may not play it. But if you remember,
Alice Cooper had a song that was in Wayne's World

(03:01):
and I said, say, let's friend, I know exactly the
song you're thinking of, and I'm gonna get you rocked
and loaded this morning with that one right now. One
of six point seventy Troy Wheels Josh and his shows
at the baseball game yesterday. It was fun, nice day
for baseball. I got to sit in this Champion's Club

(03:25):
it's up there with Drew Lane and.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Some of the other guys. I was think Tony was there,
Steve the whole crew.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
Nice group of folks invited me to sit with them
up in this Champion's Club, which was impossible to find.
By the way, you're talking about a hidden access point
for this club. It's like I had to like go
through all these different tunnels, pull down a candle, like
knock four times to get in, give a secret word?

(03:57):
Did I really this week? I had no intention of
drinking beer that I went to two baseball games. And
there is nothing better than the ice cold beer you'll
get at a baseball game, especially on a sunny day,
gorgeous sunny day downtown Detroit, Coors Light on Draft on tap, delicious,

(04:20):
and we got to see the Tiger Salvage win. They
won six to two yesterday. Good outing from Casey Miz.
You could make the argument that Myz right now is
their number two guy. So after Trett goes in Game
one of a playoff series, Mize might be your most
trusted guy because it ain't Flaherty and it ain't Morton
Pattick ain't even in.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
The rotation anymore.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
There is a concern though, as in a concern with
an injury. One of the big pieces that was picked
up at the trade deadline was Kyle Finnegan, who warmed
up yesterday and then mysteriously disappeared from the bullpen and
left the game with as they say down South a

(05:06):
growing issue. So we'll see what becomes of that growing issue.
But if he's down for an extended period of time,
that's a real big killer because he is the most
important piece that you picked up at the deadline. Like
Morton is what he is, Paddick is what he is.
But Finnegan is a guy you're counting on bullpen playoffs.

(05:27):
If he's out, that is a gigantic loss. How long
he's out, we don't know. Even if he is out,
we don't know. Football wise. You've got the Lions and
the Packers at four twenty five on Sunday. The biggest
question going into this game has been Micah Parsons, the
newly acquired monstered defensive stud acquired from the Cowboy. Will

(05:48):
he play? He's dealing with a back issue, may need
it at a dural. Matt Lafleur is the head coach
of the Green Bay Packers. Does he think he's going
to play this weekend?

Speaker 4 (05:58):
Yeah, we'll see. I mean, we're still well. He's doing
everything in his power. He's rehabbing hard. You know, we've
got to get through a couple of practices to see
how he responds. To see how he does, but certainly hopeful.

Speaker 3 (06:14):
Hey, we're hopeful that he plays. We're hopefully he doesn't.
Getting that game is at four to twenty five on Sunday.
I'm not saying they got a lemon because Michael Parsons
is a really good player and they have really good
medical staffs in the NFL, So it's not like you
sit back and go, oh boy, this could be a disaster.
But seemingly nobody knew, at least publicly, that this guy

(06:37):
had a back issue that may require an epidural to
feel good enough to play.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
I mentioned that to someone yesterday.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
That's who I was talking to, But I said, Michael
Parsons may need an epidural to play, And the direct
quote was, why is he crapping out a baby? A no,
But I feel like if you need an epidural to
feel comfortable enough to play, and.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
Maybe you shouldn't play.

Speaker 3 (07:05):
An epidural ain't just like hey, I'm taking a shot
in my knee or something. You're getting a shot in
the spine. That ain't good. So there's something weird about this,
and people have been kind of quiet about it, and
it just kind of came up and still no one's
really talking about it, but they should be. I hope
he doesn't play. We should all hope he doesn't play.
Guys a potential game wrecker. Let him stay on the

(07:27):
bench for another week and let's go to one to
know how about that?

Speaker 2 (07:30):
He's a Josh Innis show on one of.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
Six point one of six point seven d Troit's Wheels
Josh in his show, Hello, we have NFL football tonight.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
You should be excited. I'm excited.

Speaker 3 (07:44):
He's reading a story about the most skipped songs on
classic albums, and this data is based on streaming numbers,
which I find interesting. I find the streaming data interesting
because you can see just directly how many people are
actually listening to certain songs. So, for example, on the
album Back in Black, which is one of the three

(08:06):
or four biggest albums in the history of music, the
most popular track in terms of streaming numbers is Back
in Black, which has been streamed.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
That trick can't be trillion.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
One billion, nine hundred and forty seven million, two hundred
and seventy five thousand, five hundred and twenty times, so
one point nine billion streams for back in Black. On
the album Back in Black, the most skipped track, which
means it is the least streamed track of all of
them on that album, is Shake a Leg. I would

(08:42):
have assumed that the number one stream track on there
would have been You Shook Me All Night Long, but
I would have been wrong. Other classic albums with skipped
songs so on Toys in the Attic, the most streamed
song on Toys in the Attic by Aerosmith is Walk
This Way six hundred five million plus streams, with the

(09:06):
most skip track being Round and Round, which only had
two point nine million, So six hundred and five million
versus two point five million.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
I mean, I find this intriguing.

Speaker 3 (09:20):
Boston right the album Boston by Boston, the most listened
to track is more Than a Feeling with over a
billion streams. The most skip track is Something about You,
which is crazy. Something about You is one of like
the classic I don't know if it was a hit
or not in its day, but Something about You as

(09:41):
a major classic rock jam. It's crazy, Like, I don't know,
I find this all interesting, so I'll maybe we'll do
some more of those later. Anyhow, I'm glad you guys
are with us today. We're gonna play some rock and roll.
I have got your chance to win tickets if I'm
Josh Hello. So back to the this list of songs

(10:03):
from a well, basically it's a list of albums and
it's got the most popular track based on streaming numbers
and the least popular track were the most skipped track
based on streaming numbers. So Hotel California one of the
biggest albums ever. As you would expect, the most popular
track on Hotel California is Hotel California with one point

(10:27):
nine billion streams. That's a big number, one of the
biggest songs ever, one of the most famous, well known
songs ever. The next most popular song is Life in
the Fast Lamee with three hundred and eighty six million streams,
the most skipped track on that album according to streaming data.

(10:50):
And this is preposterous to me because this is one
of the most gorgeous songs you'll ever hear. It's a
song called Pretty Maids All in a Row and it's
sung by Joe Walsh. And there's something about guys like
Joe Walsh who don't have great voices, but when they
sing a love song, it makes it feel more authentic.

(11:10):
Does that make sense like, h Joe Cocker, you are
so beautiful. Joe Cocker, you are so beautiful. It is
really just cheese. It's eighty schmallsey cheese. But it feels
more authentic because it's coming from a guy who's got
a voice that is not a traditionally great voice. Like

(11:31):
at the end of the song when you get the
too me, You're like, oh boy, it feels authentic. It
feels like there's some real jamoke just singing to his lady.
And that's how I feel when I hear Joe Walsh
sing a love song, like it's different to hear.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
Joe Walsh sing Life's Been good or something like that, like.

Speaker 5 (11:47):
My mos a round he does one eighty five.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
Like that feels right. But when he sings a love song,
You're like, boy, that feels real. That feels authentic. When
Joe Walsh sings a love song like tell me that
Pretty maids All in a row? Is it one of
the most gorgeous songs, Let's play a little bit of that.
This is the most skipped track on Hotel California. Play
a little bit for you, this gorgeous song, amazing tune.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
Just listen to him hit it here and this unreal
Get a Joe The Big Eagles rule this album.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
Also that Victim of Love was on this album. It's
a great album.

Speaker 5 (12:31):
Obviously, this is so good.

Speaker 3 (12:46):
How are people skipping this? Then again, I mean, the
whole damn album is nothing but bangers, like I've never
I don't even know what the song try and Love
Again is. How is that not the most skipped song
on Hotel California. I don't need a Randy Meisner led

(13:08):
song other than take It to the Limit.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
That's a good song.

Speaker 3 (13:14):
A new Kid in Town is on that album. Life
in the Fast Wasted Time is such a good song.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
That's a good album. This is a fantastic album. Victim
of Love. They're gonna get a harmony in here in
a second here they are.

Speaker 5 (13:44):
God Like?

Speaker 2 (13:45):
How are people skipping?

Speaker 1 (13:46):
Like?

Speaker 3 (13:47):
I must want a quest to make people listen to
this song? It's one of the prettiest songs I've ever heard. Kid,
It's a great album. But like, how is the Last
Resort not the most I don't even know what the
last Resort is?

Speaker 2 (14:01):
Boy?

Speaker 3 (14:01):
Victim of Love is a good song. You forget how
great of an album Hotel California is because it gets
like hammered by the song Hotel California. And that's really
the only song you hear a ton of New Kid
in Town. That might be my favorite Eagles song is
New Kid in Town. I'm a bit of an Eagles connoisseur,
although I had no idea what has these songs on
the album were, but I'm a connoisseur. Dammit, Life in

(14:24):
the fast line Wasted Time. Wasted Time is one of
my favorite Don Henley vocals.

Speaker 2 (14:29):
God, that's a good song. Pretty Maids All in a Row.

Speaker 3 (14:34):
Of Victim of Love is just a great little funky
mayorl Meyrol type of deal there. I know that I'm
not a musician, so perhaps you weren't following me there,
but it's an official term. Victim of Love is a
mara you know what I mean. If you speak Eagles,
you know what I mean. AnyWho, that is a gorgeous song.

(14:56):
On the fact that that is the most skipped song
on Hotel California is criminal.

Speaker 2 (14:59):
Now what do we have coming up for you?

Speaker 3 (15:01):
We're gonna go from something so gorgeous as Pretty Maids
All in a Row to animal farts. See, that's the
beauty of what we're doing here. I'll give you an
educated breakdown of a gorgeous Eagles song. Then I have
got the flatulence of little critters or big critters. You
don't know, so Papa roach tickets on the line. That
is for guess the animal fart. The latest on MICHAEH.

(15:25):
Parsons is he gonna play against the Lions? Football is back.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
Let's go Josh Show.

Speaker 3 (15:34):
One O six point seven d Troit's wheels Josh in
his show Hello, Let's see what's going on in the
wide wild world of sports. So the NFL season starts tonight.
You get the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles taking on the

(15:54):
Dallas Cowboys and a rivalry game. That game will be
at eight twenty tonight that will be on NBC. But
what's going to happen when the Lions take on the
Packers in Green Bay on Sunday? The biggest question mark
going in in terms of just dudes who are going
to play is will we see the newly acquired Micah Parsons.

(16:16):
That is the question. Matt Lafleur kind of has an answer.

Speaker 2 (16:20):
Well, let's see.

Speaker 4 (16:21):
I mean, we're still he's doing everything in his power.
He's re having hard. You know, we've got to get
through a couple of practices to see how he responds,
to see how he does, but certainly hopeful.

Speaker 3 (16:37):
There's just something off about this injury. It's mysterious. Nobody
seemed to have known about it. Then this injury shows up,
and now the guy might have to get an epidural
to play. Coach doesn't know if he's gonna play. Not.
Part of that is being coy because you don't want
to give the upper hand to the opposition. You want
the Lions to think Micah Parsons could play. I get
all that, but there's something weird about this. To need

(17:00):
an epidural to get through the pain to play a
football game would indicate that an injury.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
Is worse than you let on. But what do I know.

Speaker 3 (17:08):
Tiger's won yesterday. They salvaged a game against the Mets.
Casey Meyes was good. He went five innings, one run baseball,
scattered five hits with solid didn't walk anybody, struck out
a couple.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
Is he going to be the number two starter? Well,
we don't know.

Speaker 3 (17:25):
This month will bear that out, but right now I'd
say that Casey meyce gives you the best chance to win,
So Casey Wise might end up being that guy for you. Also,
super Bowl, we've talked about the halftime show on here before.
Seems that our audience wants to see anybody who will rock, right.
You want to see Metallica, You'll take the Foo Fighters.
You just want somebody that rocks. But there's a name

(17:49):
that keeps popping up and it's more prevalent than it's
ever been, and that name is miss Taylor Swift. Roger
Goodell appearing on the Today's Show, Roger Taylor gonna play
the halftime show.

Speaker 6 (18:01):
It's a maybe, Okay, maybe it's a maybe.

Speaker 3 (18:04):
We'll see. I don't think she needs to play it.
I don't think that it would be like she's such
a big star that the NFL would benefit from her.
This is not me kissing her ass. And I'm well
aware that I can go to our Facebook right now
and post, hey, do you want to see Taylor Swift
on the halftime show? Or just anything about Taylor Swift
on the halftime show, and it will get eviscerated. And
I get that. I have nothing against Taylor Swift. I

(18:26):
hate the Kelsey's. As we've discussed, I despise the kelsey
I don't know if it's possible for me to hate
a sports figure more than I hate the collective Kelsey's.
I despise them. I don't hate Taylor Swift. I mean, yes,
she's stuck at the age of fourteen and she's like
thirty six. That's kind of weird. She's like a little
lady Peter Pan. That's strange. Everything's mystical and enchanty. Yes,

(18:50):
that's weird, But I don't hate her. I hate the Kelseys.
I despise the Kelsey's. But Taylor doesn't need the halftime show.
She should just keep that one in the holster until
she needs it. She doesn't need it, and they're sports.
Would you like to guess the animal fart? Would you

(19:11):
like tickets to see popa Roach? All you need to
do is one oh six point seven Detroit's wheels.

Speaker 2 (19:18):
Get your mind out of the Gut?

Speaker 3 (19:19):
Or that song's not about masturbation, although I thought it
was up until I just googled it. There are songs
that are about masturbation, like The Stroke by Billy Squire.
Let's say Sometimes a Fantasy by Billy Joel is a
song about masturbation. Right, that's about a guy like calling

(19:43):
like a phone sex line.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
Did you know that.

Speaker 3 (19:48):
I'm a bit of a billy Joel connoisseur. Of course,
I touched myself by the Di vinyls. Well, oh, what's
the dancing with my elf turning Japanese? I believe is
a song about masturbation. Singers like to sing about self pleasure.

Speaker 2 (20:08):
There's one so.

Speaker 3 (20:10):
She Bop by Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Cindi laupper,
but not losing my religion, my rim. Now let's talk
animal farts, because I've got popa Roach Tickets last resorts
about masturbation. I think, oh, it's about autoerotic asphyxiation.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
It's not.

Speaker 3 (20:30):
But popa Roach Scars, that's a song about masturbation.

Speaker 2 (20:34):
It's not, but if you're vigorous, it could be.

Speaker 3 (20:37):
It just depends on how aggressive you are, a tight
your grip is.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
But anyway, so I'm dumb.

Speaker 3 (20:47):
So speaking of animal farts, guess the animal fart for
popa Roach Tickets. It's very simple. I'm going to play
flatulence from a critter and you tell me that. Now
the animal fart that was today's animal fart? Did you

(21:15):
get that?

Speaker 2 (21:21):
That is today's animal fart. And it has been said
that I make.

Speaker 3 (21:26):
These animal farts too difficult. Then just people call up
guessing things, and it's just a it's just fruitless. Give
us a hint, they say, They say, give us a
hint about the animal fart.

Speaker 2 (21:38):
Fine, I'll give you a hint about the animal fart.

Speaker 3 (21:41):
Oh, Wilbur away eight seven seven nine eight eight one
oh six seven eight seven seven nine eight eight one
oh six seven one more time. All right, that is
the animal fart. It would blow Wilbur away. This is
for poper roach tickets. Poper roach tickets on the line. Here,

(22:01):
let's go to the phones. Hello, guess the animal fart?

Speaker 6 (22:06):
I is it a horse?

Speaker 2 (22:07):
That is a horse? Congratulations? How did you guess?

Speaker 7 (22:11):
Well, Wilbur exactly.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
Wilbur is the owner of who Well, I don't remember
Charlotte's Web.

Speaker 3 (22:20):
I don't know, I don't no, No, Wilburt is the
guy who talks to mister ed. Oh that's right.

Speaker 7 (22:27):
I was thinking Charlotte's Web.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
But you know, isn't Wilbur a pig?

Speaker 1 (22:31):
Yes? I thought?

Speaker 2 (22:32):
So there you go. What's your name, Anissa? Where you're
calling from?

Speaker 3 (22:39):
Right now?

Speaker 2 (22:40):
I'm driving, But not driving.

Speaker 3 (22:43):
I'm in Southfield. Well, congratulations, you have won tickets to
see popa Roach.

Speaker 2 (22:49):
Awesome, thank you so much. Well what radio station is
sending you to see popa Roach? Well, I hope it's
one of six forty seven.

Speaker 3 (22:56):
Yeah, me too, Yeah, I'm mister RAYA.

Speaker 6 (23:07):
Horse is a horse, of course, of course, and no
one can talk to what horse of course that is,
of course, And that's the horses, the famous mister right
to the source and these he's always on, understand of course,
not to mister.

Speaker 1 (23:26):
This is the Josh in his show on one Who's
six point seven? Double?

Speaker 2 (23:32):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (23:32):
There?

Speaker 2 (23:32):
I am sorry, I had a wrong button.

Speaker 3 (23:37):
Well that was no good Josh. AnyWho welcome man, it's
the Josh Edi Show. So we were talking a little
while ago about how Roger Goodell my dad calls him
Roger no Goodell because my dad thinks he's clever. But

(24:00):
when Roger Goodell was on the Today Show and was
asked about.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
Whether or not Taylor Swift would.

Speaker 3 (24:07):
Be playing the halftime show this year, he said this,
it's a maybe.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
Okay, maybe it's a maybe.

Speaker 3 (24:14):
One thing I picked up on on watching the Today
Show is that Savannah Guthrie looks old. Like a month ago,
I thought Savannah Guthrie was still hot, Like I'm I'm
into my early you know, news daytime guys like I
used to be into Katie Kuric, you know, and Meredith Vieira.
I don't know, there's a quality about him, and Savannah
Guthrie has a quality. But as she looks old, I mean,

(24:35):
I understand that's what happens, you know, the age not judging.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
So she looks old.

Speaker 3 (24:41):
Hell, I'm thirty nine, I look fifty, So I get it.
But the odds now have shifted for the super Bowl
halftime show after Roger Goodell spoke on the Today Show,
and currently the most likely performer for the halftime show
at fifty one percent, is Miss Taylor Swift. So if

(25:04):
you're sick of Taylor Swift and you're sick of the Kelsey's,
this could be bad for you. I still stand by
this that Taylor Swift does not playing the halftime show.
I don't believe it's gonna happen. I'll believe it when
I see it. She doesn't need it. Post Malone is
at twenty nine percent, Like that's a viable one, Like
I think post Malone would be someone that you could look.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
At and go, yeah, the tracks. I could see that.

Speaker 3 (25:28):
Metallica is an eleven percent. Metallica is not going to
play the halftime show. If I'm wrong, I'll say I'm wrong.
You can tar and feather me, you can take me
onto the town square, put me in an iron maiden,
chop my head off. Metallica will not be playing the
halftime show.

Speaker 2 (25:43):
I do not believe that.

Speaker 3 (25:44):
But they have the third best odds at eleven percent,
so Post Malone at twenty nine percent, and Taylor Swift
at fifty one percent. Eight seven seven nine eight eight
one oh six seven. If you want to get in
eight seven seven nine eight eight one oh six seven.
Do you believe Metallic who could play the halftime shoe?
I'm telling you they won't. It's not going to happen.

(26:04):
It'd be fine, but it ain't gonna happen. What you
can do is here a Metallican now on Detroit's wheels.
That's the best I can do for you. Well, those
six point seven Detroit's wheels. Josh and a show soon

(26:26):
to be the best morning show in Detroit.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
That's my prediction.

Speaker 3 (26:29):
That is my hope, you guys, can help make that happen.
Listen and spread the word. Look, I'm just gonna shoot
you straight. I really want to beat the hell out
a big gym over at CSX. That's all I want.
That's where it starts. I was thinking about this. I
was sitting at the ballpark yesterday watching the Tigers. I
was hanging out with Drew from the Drew Lane Show.

(26:52):
I mean, you know who Drew is, who's a legend here,
and I'm talking with him and just talking about radio
and stuff, and I just I so desperately want to
crush CSX, which is a boring, slow, old folks home
of a radio station, and I just want to destroy them.

(27:15):
I've got a list of radio stations I want to destroy,
and there's an order of which, you know, which we
need to take down, and CSX is at the top
of the list because they're the nearest competitor.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
And we're going to beat them. And we're gonna do
it because of you.

Speaker 3 (27:33):
And we're gonna do it because you're gonna tell all
your friends and you're gonna tell them that there's this
new morning show on Detroit's wheels and they're gonna add
some people to the show, and it's going to become
a full on show. Right now, it's just this guy's
kind of wacky. He's on in the morning. He talks
about sports, he talks about boobs, he talks about all
this other stuff.

Speaker 2 (27:50):
But you should listen to it.

Speaker 3 (27:51):
You're gonna tell all your friends that you're going to
pass that note along when you know it. You're hanging
out your kid's baseball game, you're flapping your bingle wings
at the vfw B nineteen, you're at the local dive bar.
You're gonna tell your friends about it. And we're gonna
build a massive machine here that's going to take over

(28:12):
morning radio and Detroit. And I believe that. Oh but Yash,
what about David Chuck. You think I'm scared to David Chuck. No,
John Wellmouth to take it. I'm not afraid of the
nerds talking sports over at the ticket And here's I
want to kind of give you an idea of what
this show is gonna be as we move into the fall.

(28:34):
I would not call this a sports show because it's not.
But it's a radio show on a rock radio station
that will have a lot of sports conversation because we
talk about what people in Detroit are interested in. And
if it's Monday and the Lions just beat the hell
out of the Packers, I'm probably not gonna be breaking

(28:55):
down your favorite album of all time. We're gonna be
talking about how the Lions beat the hell out of
the or if Micah Parsons plays on Sunday and sacks
Jared Goff six times, we'll be bitching about that.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
But this is a show that.

Speaker 3 (29:08):
Is going to be for Detroit by Detroit, by you,
and we're going to talk about things that you find interesting.
So on a given day, if there's a big news
story that's interesting that's not sports, will talk about that.
If it is sports, we'll talk about that. We'll talk
about dumb stuff, We'll play animal farts.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
That's what we're going to do here.

Speaker 3 (29:26):
But I am just enlisting your services to help us
get to the top.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
That's why I was brought here.

Speaker 3 (29:31):
That is why Tony, that is why Casey brought me here,
and because I'm cheap, and because I wanted to be here,
because I believe in this radio station and I believe
the listeners of this radio station. And I've lived here
for two months, and I will tell you that I
freaking love this city and I love you guys, So
I just want you to be kind of prepared for

(29:51):
what you're going to get as we move on down
the line here, as we move into fall, and the
Lions are playing football and the Wolverines are playing football,
and Sparti is playing football, and the Tigers are playing
baseball in September and October, and that's what you're gonna get.
I know some people have been messaging rock station. No,

(30:12):
it's a station in the morning that talks about what
Detroit cares about.

Speaker 2 (30:18):
And Detroit cares about.

Speaker 3 (30:19):
The Lions and the Wolverines and Sparti and the Tigers
and the Wings and the Pistons. So we're gonna talk
about things that they care about, and we're gonna talk
about sports better than the sports station. Well, we're gonna
talk about rock better than Big Jim Will. So if
anybody asks you if you're out and you're like, well,
I want you to listen to the Josh Nashawan Wheels
and they're like, well, what kind of show is that

(30:39):
they talk about?

Speaker 2 (30:40):
Classic rock?

Speaker 3 (30:41):
No, they're talking about what I care about and what
Detroit cares about, and they're here to light the place
on fire with a blowtorch.

Speaker 2 (30:48):
And the first target that.

Speaker 3 (30:49):
We have to take down is CSX in the morning.
And I don't think it's gonna be hard because I
think you guys are bored with them too. And that's
where it starts. Let's kick everyone's ass.

Speaker 6 (31:02):
So Josh Innis, show one O six point seven wllz
Detroit's wheels.

Speaker 3 (31:08):
Wllzs alright and say no two Josh Innis, show glad
you guys are with us today.

Speaker 2 (31:18):
I need your input here.

Speaker 3 (31:19):
You can text text the word Josh and your message
to five nine five zero Josh to five nine five
seven zero.

Speaker 2 (31:25):
Well, it's Josh and your message. That's another thing.

Speaker 3 (31:28):
Is my name has to be at the beginning of
every message. It's dumb, I get it, but that's how
it has to be. So you can text the word
Josh and your message in one text to five nine
five seven zero.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
Save that number on your phone. It's a good way
to talk with us.

Speaker 3 (31:43):
Same with our phone number eight seven seven nine eight
eight one oh six seven. I appreciate some of the
texts that are coming in, including this one that just
says Josh beat big Jim's fat ass now. We're not
here to body Shane, but he does call himself Big,
so I mean, I guess he accepts that.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (32:04):
But here's where I need you, loyal members of the
Jiss Army, the Josh Ennis Show Army. You're in on
the ground floor, which is good. I'm glad you're here
early because people are gonna be coming in and they're
gonna be newbies, and then.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
You're gonna have to explain things to them.

Speaker 3 (32:21):
And that's good because that means our army will grow,
then our numbers will go up, and then we're kicking
ass and taking names. But here's what I need to
know from you, because you are stone cold lead pipe Detroiters.

Speaker 2 (32:34):
What do you think we have to do?

Speaker 3 (32:37):
As I've listed the people that we need to defeat,
most importantly, we must defeat WCSN and Sports and then
eventually Dave and Shuck And you may laugh at that,
but I'm not laughing at it because I believe it.
But if we're starting here at the top of that list,
and the first person we need to take down is
Big Gym in his house, we need to burn BIG's

(33:00):
house down. What do we need to do? What is
your info? What is your intel? What can you let
me know that will help this army take them down?
That's what I need to know from you at eight
seven seven nine eight eight one oh six seven. That
is our first target. Eight seven seven nine eight eight
one oh six seven. I need your input, I need

(33:23):
your advice. I need you, loyal members of the Army,
to say, Josh, I think we need to do this.
This this, this is an inclusive group here, we are
a think tank, as it were. Eight seven seven nine
eight eight one oh six seven. Or text them in
if you don't want to call, text the word Jog
in your message to five nine five seven zero. Best
call on this, best insight, best intel. I'll get you

(33:44):
a pair of Popper Roach tickets, but I need you
to call and get in eight seven seven nine eight
eight one oh six seven. I have an extra pair
of poper Roach tickets for the best call to offer
the best insight to take down our first target. And
our first target is WCSX in the morning, and it's
Big Jim that is our first target and we will
win that. I believe that. Give me your insights, give

(34:06):
me your intel, loyal members of the JISS Army. Eight
seven seven nine eight eight, one oh six seven. Best
call gets the Papa Roach tickets. We will do sports
here in just a sec. Matt Lafleur kind of iffy
on whether or not Michael Parsons is.

Speaker 2 (34:20):
Going to play.

Speaker 3 (34:21):
And we've got new treats at Ford Field. But first
we've got rock and roll. And that rock and roll
is from Tom Petty. The song is called free Fallen.
That's gonna be big Jim's rating on Sunday. But the
biggest storyline about that is Micah Parsons. If he plays,
you think the Packers have a good shot. If he

(34:41):
doesn't play, you feel a lot better about where.

Speaker 2 (34:43):
The Lions are.

Speaker 3 (34:44):
Well, Matt Lafleur, coach of the Packers, is he going
to play?

Speaker 2 (34:49):
Well, we'll see.

Speaker 4 (34:49):
I mean, we're still he's doing everything in his power.
He's he's we having hard. You know, we've got to
get through a couple of practices to see how he response,
to see how he does.

Speaker 3 (35:03):
But certainly hopeful, well I'm hopeful that he doesn't play.
If he doesn't play, the Lions have a good shot
at winning. I still think the Lions are gonna win
the division too. They're the second best odds to win
the division, but I'm taking them to win the division.
I think Buffalo, Baltimore, Jacksonville, Kansas City are going to
win the divisions in the AFC, Philadelphia, Detroit, Tampa, and

(35:28):
the Rams Matts. If Stafford stays healthy, the Rams are
winning that division. That's a big if because the guy's
always beat up. But if Stafford stays healthy, the Rams
are winning. Playoff teams Cincinnati, Chargers and Houston are going
to be wild card teams. The Falcons, the Cowboys, and
the Bears. I'm riding the Ben Johnson express. I'm buying

(35:51):
the hype. I'm buying the Ben Johnson hype. Everything you
read from the anonymous scouts and executives and everybody else
is that Ben Johnson, and it's one of the great
play callers, and you can watch it with your own eyes.
But when you hear other executives other gms say this
guy is one of the elite play callers, I don't think.
I don't know, but I don't think Caleb Williams is

(36:11):
a bum. I think they're going to be decent, and
they may sneak in as a wild card. I will
pick them to sneak in as a wild. Tigers won yesterday,
they salvage game against the Mets that they might have
lost kyf Finigan for a while.

Speaker 2 (36:26):
That's no good.

Speaker 3 (36:28):
He was warming up and then wasn't warming up, and
then his growing was hurting. So that is a huge
piece for them, and this should be their prerogative, not
even their prerogative, their priority to keep him healthy, get
him healthy. He's the best piece they picked up at
the deadline. He is going to be instrumental and vital
for them if they're going to do anything in the postseason.

(36:50):
Casey Meies was pretty good yesterday when five innings gave
up one tally strong good job.

Speaker 2 (36:58):
Might he be the number two star?

Speaker 7 (37:00):
Maybe?

Speaker 3 (37:01):
Possibly? We don't know yet. There's a month to figure
that out. And we've got football on TV tonight eight twenty.
You're going to get the Philadelphia Eagles taking on the
Dallas Cowboys, the defending champs against their arch rival.

Speaker 2 (37:16):
Solid stuff. Let's go to the phones, Hello, Detroit's wheels time? Yeah,
what do you got?

Speaker 7 (37:25):
What was the question?

Speaker 2 (37:26):
What was the question?

Speaker 3 (37:29):
Am I a winner?

Speaker 5 (37:30):
No?

Speaker 3 (37:31):
What do you think we need to do to beat WCSX?

Speaker 6 (37:34):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (37:36):
Play more popa road?

Speaker 2 (37:38):
Fair enough? Thank you? For the call.

Speaker 3 (37:42):
You know what, I'm gonna put that theory to the test.
I'm gonna play a popa Roach song that we don't
normally play, and then I want you guys to listen
and tell me if you think this is a Papa
Roach song we play. I am willing to do anything
to beat CSX, and if it means more popa roachs,
then it means more Papa Ro. And I said I'd
listened to you guys as a focus group and kind

(38:03):
of tell me what you think we need to do.

Speaker 2 (38:04):
Not even a focus group. You're members of the Jis Army.

Speaker 3 (38:07):
Obviously that guy clearly had no clue he's a member
of any army. He's just calling to try to win tickets.
But I'm gonna play a Poper Road song and I
need you to tell me yes or no if you
think that song should play more frequently. Do it via text,
text the word Josh and yes or no. It's very simple,
yes or no on this popa Road song At eight
seven seven nine, eight eight one oh sixty seven.

Speaker 2 (38:28):
My man here says.

Speaker 3 (38:29):
More Poper Roach is the key to beating Big Jim.

Speaker 2 (38:33):
More Poper Roach. Let's test that.

Speaker 3 (38:37):
Let's see if the members of the JIS Army that
listen to wheels agree we're.

Speaker 2 (38:41):
Gonna play it now.

Speaker 3 (38:42):
Get ready to text the word Josh and yes or
no on this Poper Road song to five nine five
seven zero. Let's see if he's right. Let's see if
the audience wants if I need the members of the
Josh and A Show Army, the JIS Army on the
text line right now at eight seven. That's the phone number,
eight seven seven nine eight eight one oh sixty seven.
Text the word Josh and your message all in one
message to me at the radio station right now. Text

(39:06):
the word Josh and.

Speaker 2 (39:07):
Yes or no. Do you think we need more Popper Roach?

Speaker 3 (39:11):
Guy that just called said, hey, playmore Papa Roach.

Speaker 2 (39:14):
You give me leg Jim a thing? Can I win
the tickets?

Speaker 3 (39:18):
I probably should have just given him the tickets. The
man's really committed to Papa Road. That dude calls back him,
I just give him some tickets. I'm feeling benevolent today.
Text the word Josh and your message to five nine
five seven zero.

Speaker 2 (39:32):
We've got yes, yes.

Speaker 3 (39:35):
No, yes, with four exclamation points yes in all caps
no with it looks like at least fourteen or fifteen
o's and four exclamation points. Looking at this, it still
feels like the yes is habit on popa roach, more
popper roach.

Speaker 2 (39:55):
From that guy.

Speaker 3 (39:56):
So again, if that was you, you'll probably be easy
to DECI for on the phone. Give me a buzz back.
I've probably got a pair of tickets for you. Have
you got to see Papa Roach?

Speaker 2 (40:07):
That bad? All right? But I need more of you.

Speaker 3 (40:09):
Text the word Josh and your message, which would be
yes or no. So the word Josh, the name Josh,
then the word yes or no to five ninety five
seven zero.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
That's what we're looking for here.

Speaker 3 (40:19):
My man says, more Papa Roach, more Papa Roach.

Speaker 2 (40:25):
Now, let's see here.

Speaker 3 (40:25):
Let's take some more phone calls here, Hello, Wheels, you're
on you're on that.

Speaker 7 (40:29):
Line, all right, hey, I got three phones shine to
get a hold of this Lieutenant Fred, just army.

Speaker 2 (40:34):
What's going on?

Speaker 7 (40:35):
Man? Hey?

Speaker 3 (40:37):
Bro?

Speaker 7 (40:37):
It comes from love. You can't have dead time on
the air and be number one bro.

Speaker 2 (40:43):
I can't have dead time on the air.

Speaker 7 (40:46):
Dead time on the air, you know where there is
nothing being heard?

Speaker 2 (40:49):
Ah, dead air. Yeah, Look, okay, I have been guilty
of that. In my defense.

Speaker 3 (40:56):
This is a very convoluted setup I have up here,
and I'm like single mom, I'm washing and drying up here.
You want to know why the show next door, You
want to know why the Mojo Show never has any
dead air?

Speaker 2 (41:07):
I'll tell you why. He's got fourteen people working for him.

Speaker 3 (41:10):
You know who works for me? Me, So every now
and then there might be dead air. And every now
and then I might hit the wrong button. That's just
keeping it real. Because I'm up here riding solo. I
ain't got nobody else.

Speaker 2 (41:23):
I got nos the goal.

Speaker 3 (41:26):
So whenever they get more people up here, maybe they'll
be less dead air. Then again, let's be real, I'll
probably still screw something up and there may be dead air.
One O six point seven Detroit's Wheels Josh Innis Show.
How's everybody doing? Let's see here, let me go to
the phones. People are blowing up my phones today, Wheels.

Speaker 7 (41:45):
Hello, Hey, the Skulls from Real Hey.

Speaker 2 (41:48):
How you doing?

Speaker 7 (41:49):
Excellent? Popper Roach is all right, but I take a
little more Metallica. Danzig would definitely pump it up nicely.

Speaker 2 (41:56):
So you think we need to play more Metallica?

Speaker 7 (41:59):
Oh no, I'm Tellico fan from day one and then
you know, throwing from godsmacks. You don't hear that a lot.
So everybody loves Mother and Caine and all those.

Speaker 2 (42:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (42:11):
Now I've never heard someone call and say Wheels needs
more Metallica. I can tell you that much. We play
a lot of Metallica. We are a heavier radio station.
Like now that I've got your attention. Look, this is
not a radio station like earlier. Today I played a
little bit of Pretty Maids All in a Row, which
I think is a wonderful song. And I played that
because I was reading a story about the most skipped

(42:31):
songs on each major album according to streaming data, and
on Hotel California, somehow, the most skipped song on that
album is the Joe Walsh sung pretty Maids All in
a Row, which is a great song. Hey, hellah, you
ain't gonna hear that song on wheel.

Speaker 2 (42:53):
Look I'm gonna tell you something. I'm gonna say something
that is true. Right.

Speaker 3 (42:59):
This is not a radio station for the faint of heart.
This is not a radio station that's like, you know what,
I really am tuning in. I want to hear Bonnie Rait.
Bonnie Ray didn't deserve that. That was a stray on
Bonnie Ray. That Bonnie Ray. That's not nice. Josh, don't
don't take a don't take a shot at Bonnie Ray.

(43:20):
But this is not a radio station. Well, you're just
not gonna hear the kind of music you're going to
hear at the dentist office. You know, when you're sitting
in the dentist office and guy's like drilling your teeth
and in the background, it's like fighting.

Speaker 2 (43:33):
Night, I was laying, I was walking you home. I
got down out and I was dreaming.

Speaker 3 (43:38):
Of the night we did it turn out right, guys
like drilling and he's trying to have a conversation with
you as well. So like you're hearing reminiscent in the
background and he's like, so where do you work? You're like,
and he's like, then, Friday night, I was laying, I
was walking you home.

Speaker 2 (43:59):
That's not what you're gonna get here.

Speaker 3 (44:01):
What you're not gonna get at this radio station is
crappy pap. You're gonna get music that's going to light
you up. And that's the difference between US and CSX.
CSX is like programming a funeral awake, maybe not the
funeral itself awake. So like you're having a visitation. That's

(44:22):
the music you'd played a visitation is what you're gonna
get over there.

Speaker 2 (44:26):
We're going to play the music for a resurrection.

Speaker 3 (44:29):
Josh Detroit's Wheels, Josh in his show, Let's go to the.

Speaker 2 (44:33):
Phones, Hello Wheels, You're on.

Speaker 7 (44:36):
You need more songs with heavy guitar play.

Speaker 2 (44:39):
That's what we do here.

Speaker 3 (44:41):
That's like a prerequisite for almost every single song we play.
We play guitar songs. We plays melt your face songs.
You're not gonna hear tiny Dancer on Detroit's Wheels. You're
not gonna hear Elton Look. No offense to Elton John.
You ain't gonna hear Elton John on Detroit' Wheels. No
offense to Billy Joel Love Billy Joel. I'd go see
him tonight, Joel at Ford Field Gang get here, Billy

(45:03):
Joel on Detroit's Wheels. We ain't here to play piano man,
and we ain't here to play tiny Dancer or Ribon
lacks his money. Fine song, I'm not knocking it. We
ain't here to play it. We play hard driving rock
and roll on this here radio station, and it doesn't

(45:23):
matter where it comes from. What era comes from. I
don't put the label classic rock on this because it is.
It's just rock that melts you, that just destroys you,
kicks you in the crotch.

Speaker 2 (45:35):
That's what we're doing here, man, That's what we're doing.
That's the point.

Speaker 3 (45:38):
So when you talk to people out in the stream,
they're like, oh the true well those six point seven
Detroit's wheels, that is three doors down, love me when
I'm gone. I was reading that Kelly Stafford, the wife
of Matt Stafford, who have nothing. Again, I am not
anti Stafford anyway. Is his wife annoying? Yes, She's one

(46:00):
of these people that gets on podcasts and says a
bunch of stuff and then when people kind of throw
it back at her, she's like, but I cry sometimes.
I'm like, okay, whatever, if you want to play podcast
gal and you want to be media celebrity, deal with
the fact that people are going to say.

Speaker 2 (46:14):
Dickish things to you.

Speaker 3 (46:15):
But any who, I have nothing against her other than that, Like,
I don't hate her, like I hate the Kelsey family.

Speaker 2 (46:20):
They're just the worst.

Speaker 3 (46:22):
But on this podcast, she appeared on a podcast the
called The Sunday Sports Club, and she was talking about
how her kids got bullied at school. Now you're thinking, well,
I hear kids got bullied at school. What did they
do like shove their heads in a toilet, put them
in a locker, like punch them in the solar plexus?

Speaker 2 (46:40):
What did they do to be bullied?

Speaker 3 (46:42):
No, sir, the kids of the Staffords got bullied because
the young bullies told them that they're going to have
to move because your mom doesn't shut up.

Speaker 2 (46:55):
Well, that was kind of true. Is it bullying? If
it's true? These are the questions.

Speaker 3 (47:01):
Also, I find it hard to believe the kids that
are like eight or five years old are getting that
cerebral and that technical with their digs on kids, Like,
when you're eight years old, you know what you do
to insult a kidney a bully? You call them fat,
You find some sort of deformity they have, like oh,
oh hello, four fingers, you know whatever, You make fun
of them for something that's obvious. I don't recall bullies

(47:24):
when I was eight years old being like, oh my god,
you're gonna have to move because your dad got fired from.

Speaker 2 (47:30):
Another radio job.

Speaker 3 (47:33):
I don't remember that being the kids and I fight
it hard to believe that some five year old kids
sitting around in kindergarten doing that, like doing cerebral podcast
digs on the Stafford kids. That's when these people become insufferable,
Like I don't care if you have a podcast, I'm.

Speaker 2 (47:50):
Not gonna listen to it because I don't give a damn.

Speaker 3 (47:52):
But like, I don't care have a podcast and all
the stuff you want, but then claiming that your kids
got bullied and the kids were using podcast digs on them, Like, Okay,
nobody buys that.
