Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:02):
App listen for all your music, radio and podcasts.

Speaker 1 (00:06):
Free never sounded so good.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
It's the Josh Ennis Show on one six point seven
WLLZ Detroit's wheels.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
All right, everybody, good morning, How are you? It's the
Josh Ennis Show. As the gentleman said, greetings, Hello, how
are you Aaron? What's going on?

Speaker 3 (00:25):
Well, I'm a little tired, but I went to see
a concert last night.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Well we know what it was. It was Toto, you
told us, unless you changed your mind.

Speaker 4 (00:33):
Oh no, it was wonderful.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
I was it it.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
Actually, I was really impressed. It was fabulous.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
Well that's good. How was Christopher Cross?

Speaker 4 (00:41):
Christopher Cross show?

Speaker 1 (00:43):
He wasn't good? He was okay, Like, what did you expect, tree,
It's Christopher Cross. He like sits on a stool. Does
he play like a little like an acoustic guitar? Or no?
What does Christopher Cross do on stage? He seems like
he'd be immobile? Would be the I would use to
describe Christopher Kross.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
To be honest, I didn't see much of him because
we were getting settled and getting cocktails and socializing.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
But you got to see minute work you were so
excited about minute work.

Speaker 3 (01:12):
Overkill was brilliant, Colin Hay sounded amazing.

Speaker 4 (01:15):
His voice is still great, still great, And then they ended.

Speaker 3 (01:20):
Up doing a at the end when they did Africa, everybody
came out and sang it, which is kind of cool.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
See, Africa is one of those songs you get sick
of because it's overplayed. So I get that. That's like,
I guarantee you Toto hates Africa despite the fact that
Africa made them a ga billion dollars and it's their
most well known song, I assure you. But that's how
those bands are. Those bands will have like the song
that everybody knows and loves, and they'll hate that song
because they're sick of playing it. Like I guarantee you,

(01:48):
Journey hates Don't Stop Believing, but like they have to
play Don't Stop Believing because it's Don't Stop Believing.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
And of course the one song that the majority of
the crowd do, they waited till.

Speaker 5 (01:58):
The very end.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
It's their most well known song. You have to do it, like, hey,
bastards are gonna stay this whole show, and you're gonna
hear Georgi Porchy and you're gonna hear all of our
other stuff to get to the song that all of
you know.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
Yeah, they did a slower version of Georgie Porgie.

Speaker 4 (02:11):
It was very nice. It was more jazzy kind of
you know.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
Yeah, Rosanna was great. I mean, they were what you'd expect.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Right old, that's what I would expect, you know.

Speaker 4 (02:24):
They were good. They sounded great. I thought they sounded great. Well,
I felt like I needed a boat, yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
Because it's basically a yacht rock show.

Speaker 4 (02:32):
And then when we were.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
Leaving, I turn around and there's a guy with a
captain and to Neil you know, boting hat.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
I was like, yes, well, well that's the thing. There's
a band called yacht Rock Review and they're gonna be
in town in October, and I forgot where they're going
to be, but they're very good. And when you go
to yacht Rock Review, it's just these dudes singing covers
of you know, Toto and singing covers of Christopher Cross
and it's fabulous, like Kenny Logins and all this wonderful show.

(02:59):
Every guy there is wearing one of those captains Neil hats,
and every guy there is wearing a Hawaiian shirt and
oh god. So the one time I've seen them twice.
The first time I went to see them, I went
to Amazon and bought like those kind of white pants.
I bought white pants, a Hawaiian shirt, a captain's.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
Hat, skipper on Gilligan's I basically.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
Looked like the skipper on Gilligan's Island. That is the truth.
That is exactly what I look like, A bearded skipper
from Gilligan's Island.

Speaker 6 (03:28):
That was me.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
But anyway, we got Tiger's tickets to give away later.
That's going to be in the seven o'clock hour. We
have lots to do. It is Tuesday, one of six
point seven Detroit's Wheels Josh and A Show. It's Josh
and aaronb this morning. So I was looking at this.
This is from a super computer that predicts the Super
Bowl champion from this year. So it gives you the

(03:51):
likelihood that this team will win the Super Bowl. Which
team do you think has the highest likelihood, the highest
percentage likelihood to win the superper Bowl according to this
super computer, it's got I.

Speaker 4 (04:04):
Would say a West Coast team possibly.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
All right, will tell me who you think it is.
Just when the rams are even close the Rams are
or could keep in mind that Matt Stafford is still hurt.
But ok, let's see, they have a three point five
percent chance of winning, which is well, it's just way
down the list. It's middle of the pack. I will
tell you this that the team that has the let
me ask you this, all right, which team has the

(04:28):
worst chance of winning the super Bowl? According to the supercomputer?
And this team has a zero point zero percent chance
of winning the super Bowl. According to this computer, it
is the only team that has a zero point zero
percent chance of winning the super Bowl. Cleveland, It is
not Cleveland. Cleveland's isn't terrible. It's a zero point six. Okay,

(04:49):
how close? So they're close. But one team has zero
zero point zero the Jets. It is not the Jets.
The Jets, let's have a zero point six as well.
But there is a team that is going to be really, really,
really bad. And I would agree with this. I also

(05:09):
give this team a zero point zero percent chance of
winning the super Bowl. The difference between me and the
supercomputer is I also give a zero point zero percent
chance of winning the Super Bowl to almost every team
in the outside of like the top five. Really, I
look at this and I could see four or five
teams winning the Super Bowl. One of them is completely unrealistic.

(05:32):
That's near the top. I'll give you one more guest, though,
on what the number one. The top team that has
the best let's see, the clue would be Hailey Steinfeld.
Your clue is Hailey Steinfeld, who I'm in love with.
By the way, Hailey Steinfeld is your player. Have to
google that person. But Cincinnati, I don't know, No, it

(05:54):
is the Buffalo Bills. That is Josh Allen's. Did they
get married. I think that's his fiance. I don't know
if they actually got hitched.

Speaker 4 (06:00):
I forgot about that.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
But the Buffalo Bills at thirteen point four percent have
the best odds according to this supercomputer, followed by the
Chiefs at nine point six, the Philadelphia Eagles, who beat
the Chiefs last year in the Super Bowl at eight
point seven, the Jaguars at eight point one. I would
bet you all the money I have, which isn't a lot,
but I will bet you all the money in the

(06:23):
world that the Jacksonville Jaguars are not winning the Super Bowl.
And I'd go so far as to say, as the
Jaguars may not even make the playoffs to so just
trust the science. They say, well, don't trust this science,
because the Jaguars are not winning the Super Bowl. The
Packers are at seven point four percent. The Ravens, like
I would think the Ravens have a better shot of

(06:43):
winning the Super Bowl than Jacksonville, although I'd also look
at Buffalo. Buffalo always loses. Buffalo will find a way
to lose. Everybody talks about the Lions and teams in
Detroit and say, oh God, we're gonna find a way.
The Bills will find a way somehow. The Chiefs will
be back in the super Bowl again. It's just how
it happens. I'm sick of seeing them, but they will

(07:05):
be there.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
That was going to be my next question. Are you
like myself? Who I'm over them?

Speaker 1 (07:10):
I am too, But they're going to be there. The
Bills will not be there. I like Josh Allen, I
really like Hailey Steinfeld, but they're not going to be there.
But it was the Bills, the Chiefs, the Eagles, the Jaguars,
the Packers, the Ravens, the Bucks than the Lions. So
the Bucks, according to the supercomputer, have a better chance
of winning the Super Bowl. The Jaguars, who had the

(07:32):
second worst record in the NFL last year, have seemingly
done nothing to make themselves that much better. Their quarterback
always gets hurt, and the Jaguars eight point one percent
have a better shot of making or winning the Super
Bowl according to the supercomputer, than the Lions, who are
at four point five percent chance.

Speaker 3 (07:53):
Should they say what kind of supercomputer it is? Because
I feel like it might be like Calico Vision or something.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
Yes, it's actually it's an atari at Texas Instruments. It's
a graphing calculator from Texas Instruments. And that team that
has a zero point zero percent chance of winning the
Super Bowl is the New Orleans Saints. Wow, zero point zero.
The Raiders have a zero point one, and the Titans
have a zero point two. But according to the supercomputer,

(08:21):
it is zero point zero for the Saints. So the
best odds or the most likely is the Bills, and
the least likely according to the supercomputer is the Saints
at zero point zero, and right there in the middle
the Lions, who have looked pretty bad in a lot
of instances in preseason, but it's just preseason. Who gives
a damn The.

chat with the show that way. Let me tell you
something wonderful. One of the great beauties of the world.

(09:17):
And there are many beauties you can say. They're beautiful
mountain ranges, and they're beautiful women, and their beautiful songs,
and they're beautiful animals. There's so many things that are
beautiful in the world. But let me tell you this,
Saric Okay. One of the great beauties slash joys in
the world is not having Facebook for a multitude of reasons.
One because Facebook is where old people go to get

(09:40):
fooled by Onion stories and Babylon Bee's stories. That's basically
the Facebook and where they go to get scammed by
celebrities who claim to be in love with them and
also claim to need hundreds of dollars because they're in
financial peril. You know, Joe Elliot from def Leppard doesn't
want to have a relationship with you, But you, SAI,
how believe that Joe Elliott from def Leppard wants to

(10:03):
have a relationship with you when he sends you a
message on Facebook? That's what Facebook is. Oh and you
might buy something on Facebook Marketplace and someone shows up
at your house and shoots you and robs you. That's
what Facebook exists for. Why do I bring this up?

Speaker 4 (10:17):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (10:17):
Why because Facebook is the way that most people remember
your birthday. That's how people know your birthday. Nobody knows
your birthday outside of Facebook. Maybe before I got rid
of Facebook, everybody would message me Happy birthday. When you
don't have Facebook, you realize that like four people know

(10:41):
your birthday. And that happened to me yesterday. So here's
what happened to me, And it was beautiful. No one
in the office that you're kind of half friendly with
comes up to you and says happy birthday. You have
no need, there's no need to feel terrible. You should
feel great. You should feel great, because I don't believe
any man wants to be told happy birthday, because it's
an awkward thing. What did I do? I did nothing

(11:02):
to get here. Call my mom. That's something I want
to do. When someone tells you happy birthday, Yes, tell
them to stay for a second. FaceTime your mom and
let them talk and say hold on, hold on, you
want to hear. Talk to my mom. She's the one
that craped me out, so tell her congratulate her for
surviving childbirth. Like this might sound like the most bitter

(11:23):
approach to life ever. Not really, I really just despise
the whole awkwardness of being told happy birthday. I'm thirty
nine years old. I forgot my own birthday. My wife go, hey,
your birthday's coming up tomorrow. I'm like, cool, you want
to go to Texas Roadhouse like I'm thirty nine years old?
Like I don't care. I don't care about my birthday.
It's for kids, and really birthdays should be for mom.

(11:46):
Mom's the one that did all the work. She held
you for nine months. Give her a present, like my
mom sent me. So I'm thirty nine years old, my
mom sent me a check for one hundred and seventy
five dollars. Yesterday I got a card in the mail
for my mom, hundreds seventy five dollars. Wonderful gesture. I
should be sending her one hundred and seventy five dollars,
because without her, I'm not on the planet, is what

(12:08):
I'm saying. It's such a weird thing. What a weird
thing to do to get a present for something you
had nothing to do with.

Speaker 3 (12:15):
Yeah, I get where you're going with that, but I
kind of feel like you're being selfish because if everybody
would have known it was your birthday, we could have
at least had cake.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
Well that's true, very good playing, but sorry, no, I'm
sure there will be a cake up here at some point.

Speaker 3 (12:28):
I would have brought you a cupcake at least.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
I thought. That makes me uncomfortable when people make you
the center of attention, particularly.

Speaker 4 (12:35):
I would have just had a cupcake with it.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
It's awkward. I don't if other guys feel this way.
Eight seven seven nine eight eight one oh six seven.
You can also text Josh and your message to five
nine five seven zero. I think dudes are like that.
I think that's dudes. Dudes don't like to be told
happy birthday. Maybe gay guys. Gay guys I think like birthdays.
Gay guys. Gay guys that I know are like, it's
my birthday week, and like, well.

Speaker 3 (12:59):
My birthday, it's my.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
Birthday month, so good, go ahead and get drunk and
get late every day and don okay. But I think
straight men, for the most part, most straight men I
know don't remember their birthday, don't care about their birthday,
and feel awkward when you approach them about a birthday
and say happy birthday, especially when it's people in the
office you don't talk with all that often. But they
found out it was your birthday, so then they got

(13:22):
to go, oh, happy birthday, and then what do you say,
thank you? Like I didn't do anything. I literally did
nothing to get here, like, hey, happy birthday, Thanks, I
did my best, and now here I am like, I
don't know. It's just a weird thing to me.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
I kind of get where you're going with that, though,
because most of the guys I hang out with could
care less.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
Could not give a damn, do not give a damn
about it. It's just a weird thing, man like, and
it's uncomfortable, Like it's uncomfortable being the center of attention
for something that you didn't accomplish, Like it's one thing
to be the center of attention because you just won
an award, or like, I hate being in the middle
of meetings and they're like, hey, Josh did this, and
like when I got in introduced to the salespeople here,

(14:01):
they're like, well, Josh worked here, here, here, and here,
and he had great success here. What do you say, Like,
goddamn right, I did, Like, get in line. Your son's
a bitch. Just fall in line. Like what do you
tell people? It's very awkward, But it's really awkward when
you did nothing and I quite literally did nothing to
get here. I'm just here. So that's what makes it fascinating.

(14:22):
I got my mom sent me basically two hundred dollars
yesterday just for being alive one oh six point seven
detroits wheels Josh Hanna's show. So the beauty of not
being on Facebook is that no one knows that's your birthday.
Like four people sent me a birthday message last night.
My mom, my sister, my little brother who I barely

(14:42):
ever talked to, but did he send me a message.
Let's see, my best friend from high school my wife,
my dad eventually, but it took him all day. But
he forgets all the time. He's in his own world.
And I think that's about it. Like five or six
people and some random person from Houston that still had
my phone numbers, someone who used to to my podcasts
send me a message too, and that was it. And

(15:03):
it's beautiful because then there's a pressure. It's an unfair
pressure actually, to have to sit there and respond to
all of these people who wish you happy birthday, like
like you feel a pressure to acknowledge it. My wife
used to put that pressure on me. She'd be like,
you at least have to say thank you. I'm like, no,
I don't. I don't care about I didn't ask them
to tell me happy birthday. Let me see here, let's
go to the phones here. So you're a dude, do

(15:25):
you celebrate your birthday? Hello? Hold on, I hit the
wrong damn button? Are you there? Hello?

Speaker 6 (15:32):
Go birthank? You don't care less And I don't give
it that not even.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
Do you celebrate your birthday at all?

Speaker 6 (15:42):
We like, go to dinner or something, but nothing nothing major? Yeah,
so no, I don't care.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
Am I wrong in saying that? It's awkward, like to
be in a situation where people are telling you happy birthday,
especially like in an office setting.

Speaker 6 (15:58):
Well, I don't work in an office. Got truck, so
a little different. But the Facebook thing, you know, you
get a thousand messages that a's a birthday.

Speaker 4 (16:08):
It thanks.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
Do you ever get guys on the CB radio telling
you a happy birthday? Breaker one nine, breaker one nine,
Happy birthday? That slap dick over in the truck there,
come on back.

Speaker 6 (16:21):
Good buddy, so nineteen seventy, yeah it is, and I
like that way nine.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
This year's a rubber duck. You've got a copy on me,
big fan, come on back for sure, for sure, boy,
you have ten four for sure, for sure, my gully,
it's clean clear to black town. Come on, he has
a big ten four of their big Benny. Yeah, we
definitely got the front door. Good buddy. Firstly, sakes alive.
We got ourselves in a convoy. I wanted to be

(16:52):
a trucker in a pass life. It's all I over
wanted to be. He was in the dark of the
moon on the sixth of June and a kid Worth
Haull in the hall have over people that reefer and
then Jimmy Hall and Hoggs. We were looking for bear
on one old about a mile out of Shaggy Town.
That says that big business Year's river Duck and I'm
about to put the hammer down. That's a jam. That's

(17:16):
quality material there, good stuff. But anyway eight seven seven
nine eight eight one oh six seven, you know, convoy,
that's a jam.

Speaker 4 (17:25):
I don't know what I just witnessed, but.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
You witnessed this quality radio my friends, Detroit's wheels. All right,
everybody welcome in seven oh three Josh Innis Show. It's
Josh and Aaron V. Howdy. We'll have some sports for
you in just a second, and exciting evening of sports
last night that it was a lengthy one, but we'll

(17:49):
get into that and the sports stuff. It's also the
end of an era, the end of an era as
it relates to the Internet. I don't know if you
saw that, but.

Speaker 4 (18:01):
That's what I wanted to talk to you about.

Speaker 1 (18:02):
Actually, yeah, the end of the dial up internet. The
dial up Internet, you say goodbye to that. It's over.
So apparently you know what's wild, and what's wild is
that one hundred and sixty three thousand plus homes still

(18:22):
have dial up Internet. I did not. I did not
know that it is a problem. So some people are
going to be without the Internet. From what I gather,
it's like rural people and stuff.

Speaker 4 (18:34):
Well, they had a problem.

Speaker 3 (18:35):
My dad was in northern Michigan and up until about
I think it was like twenty fourteen, they still had
dial up.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
I mean that that was also eleven years to go.

Speaker 3 (18:45):
Still, eleven years ago there was at least modems and
you know, like high speed internet.

Speaker 1 (18:50):
Yeah, not that dial up.

Speaker 3 (18:53):
Yeah, and we'll talk about AOL. America Online is what
we're talking about.

Speaker 1 (18:56):
Correct, America Online will no longer have dial up Internet,
and there will be no more America Online. Essentially, it's
all over all, right.

Speaker 3 (19:03):
So do you remember when they would send the cd
ROMs in the mail that would give you like one
and fifty free internet minutes? Yeah, until you ran over
your minutes.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
Oh sure, but that's how I'm like, that's how text
messages used to be as well, Like you'd like your
mom would always be like a mom, I'm gonna send
a text. Don't you send an f in text? That's
gonna cost me one hundred dollars.

Speaker 3 (19:26):
Well, here in Detroit, if you called outside of the
area code after a certain point, it would charge you
extra too. With the old phone company, so if you
were dialing from three one three to eight one, oh,
it was like super crazy expensive.

Speaker 6 (19:40):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (19:41):
But I remember getting one of those CD ROMs for
America on mine and my friend Athena and I would
sit up all night chatting.

Speaker 1 (19:47):
You remember chat rooms, Yeah, don't get me started on
the horn todiness of middle middle school age Josh and
all the weird perverted stuff that was done in chat room. Yes, well,
let me tell when you were this sound when this happened,
somebody was going to be pleasuring himself later, not necessarily me,
probably me, but maybe the dude who I thought was

(20:09):
a chick on the other end of the line too.

Speaker 3 (20:11):
Yeah, it's all fun and games till your phone bill
comes and it's like thirteen hundred dollars.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
It's all fun and games until your dad walks in.
Well that too, it's all fun and games. And the
computer was always in the family room. There's always like
a main room. Like, nobody had two computers in two
thousand and one that weren't rich, so you had basically
one computer. It was in the family room and You
had to be very selective in when you were going
to dive into the chat rooms and have horny conversations,

(20:40):
because you know, you had to make sure nobody was there,
or you had to make sure everybody was asleep. It
was it was a risky situation to engage in that
kind of activity, is all I will say.

Speaker 4 (20:49):
Do you remember your AOL screen name?

Speaker 1 (20:52):
What instant messenger on aim A? Yeah, Panther Radio forty
five was my name. It was in how you talk
about a nerd in high school? That was in high school.
My name was Our mascot was the Panthers, and I
used to call the high school football games into a recorder,
so I was like, I'm a radio guy, so it
was Panther Radio. And my basketball number at the time

(21:14):
was forty five, so it was Panther Radio forty five.
And I would talk to all the girls in school
that I didn't have the balls to talk to in person,
so I would talk to them online and say all
these nice things, and then they would ignore me at school.
But I told them all the nice things that their
boyfriends wouldn't tell them, and they're like, you're so sweet
and everything else. Then I'd see them at school and
then I was basically like the gay friend, but you were.

Speaker 4 (21:35):
Like in the permanent friend zone.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
Yeah, like I was. I mean, I may as well
have been gay. That's kind of how I was viewed
by these chicks back in high school. But quality stuff.
What was that from Get a Grip? I think was
the album that was on It was a very Those
three comeback albums from Aerosmith are very good. There's Permanent Vacation,
Pump and Get a Grip and those are three bangers

(21:57):
of albums, and a lot of people like, if you're
an old school Aerosmith person, you don't like that Aerosmith.
You like sweet emotion and all that stuff, which was fine.
That's all good stuff. I am partial to the late eighties,
early nineties come back from the dead eighties and nineties,
cheesy sounding Arrowsmith. That's what I'm here for, all right.
Sports Wise, what do we have?

Speaker 3 (22:18):
Aeron Well, Spencer, Torkasen Manga solo hole, run off, the
left field, foul Pole, the night, broken tie at Tiger,
Sweet White Sox two to one, last night at Rayfield.

Thanks Tork they said, how about it, Torque bam, wack,

Speaker 1 (22:52):
Whack whack. I was speaking of whack. So those guys
are wacky. During the rain delay last night.

Speaker 4 (22:57):
I was gonna bring up sixty three minute delay.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
Yeah, and it was lovely because the TV was just
these guys screwing around. I kind of have a crush
on the sideline gal. I've never seen her before. I
mean the Daniella dan Yella. That's a sexy name, Daniella.
She's Italian. She's one of my Italian girls named Daniella.
But she's actually like I'm watching this and she is funny,

(23:20):
and these guys are funny, and it was great. And
then I'm looking at the Internet. I sound like an
old man. I was looking at the Internet. I was
looking at the Twitter, the inner Twitter, and and all
the people there are people bitching, like these guys think
they're funny and they're not. No there they were lovely
to watch, so I enjoyed them.

Speaker 3 (23:37):
What else you gonna do for for sixty three minutes? Though,
it's like you're The.

Speaker 1 (23:42):
Other option is to like play highlights of one of
the good Tigers teams, like here's the nineteen eighty four
Tigers World Series video. Like no, they were having a
good time. They filled sixty minutes. I laughed, people bitch
about too much. Stop bitching about things. You bitch too much.
And that's from a person that does nothing but bitch
about things. Me. Stop bitching. Embrace the fact that it's

(24:02):
a good broadcast. Well they're no Ernie Hart, Well, well,
who the hell is there isn't? Yeah, yeah, thank you?
All right, but that was big because the Guardians didn't
play yesterday. So with that win, you move up half
a game. If you would have lost, you would have
dropped half a game. So now you're six and a
half up. Rock and roll yep.

Speaker 3 (24:22):
So the Tigers and White Sox played two more. They
meet again tonight, seven forty. First pitch it's supposed to
be Jeck Cleritia on the mountains.

Speaker 1 (24:30):
All right, Well, but I feel that way when a
lot of guys pitched for the Tigers. But Paddock last
night was good.

Speaker 4 (24:36):
Paddock he what he lasted? I think it was five
and a third.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
Well, here's the thing about Paddock, though, is at his
third start, and two of them have been really solid.
One was a but like he's been solid for them,
So give him credit there Again, that's the White Sox
who should be solid against them, But the credit to
him because a lot of these guys they've traded for
have been banged on myself included, and banged on some
of these trades just because He's guys aren't very good.

(25:01):
They didn't have to use spinning it in the ninth
because of the rain delay, but best got it done
in the ninth after the rain delay in Rock Cone.
That was a nice little wit. Look, it's not impressive
to beat the White Sox, but it's a disaster to
lose to them. So when and they did, I don't
care if it was two to one or ten to
what they won. So they're trying to stay ahead of
the guard Indians. What else we got? All right?

Speaker 3 (25:20):
So we got an update from head coach Dan Campbell
on the offensive line depth. He confirmed the status to
Justin Herron and Kolbe Swortzol who they've been placed on
their injured reserve. I mentioned that yesterday. That ultimately ends
their season. In corresponding moves, though the team has signed
offensive lineman Gunner Britain and Keaton Sutherland.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (25:40):
Campbell also confirming Dan Skipper could be back today unlimited capacity,
as well as DeMarco Jones. Taylor Deco should also be
moving a little bit today as well.

Speaker 1 (25:49):
That's exciting.

Speaker 4 (25:50):
It's very exciting. And then this is kind of cool.
Do you like soccer? Well, I call it football because
I lived overseas.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
You call it football because that's a smart anything to do.
That's a smarmy move. That's not like you with your
backwards hat and your black eyelashes, calling soccer football doesn't
doesn't fit with you.

Speaker 3 (26:07):
I actually overseas. There is an American football in stall.

Speaker 6 (26:11):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
I know, I get it. What I'm saying is like
with your look like biker chick look, that doesn't coal.
Like in my mind, I don't connect the two. Like
I understand that you lived overseas. I get it, But
like when I see biker chick, I'm not thinking someone
who calls soccer football that's all okay, that's like I'm
not judging. I'm just saying that's not the vibe I get.
Like when I hear people in America that call soccer football,

(26:32):
I think if people who put on their scarves at
three in the morning to go watch like you know,
World Cup games at a bar, and like, you know,
hipster dudes. That's what I think of that, you know,
biker cool, biker chicks.

Speaker 5 (26:44):
You know.

Speaker 3 (26:45):
No, you know, I started calling it football over there
because I would get hate mail because I kept calling
it screw up. So the Detroit City Football Club's future.

Speaker 4 (26:55):
Home now has a name.

Speaker 3 (26:56):
It'll be at the corner of Michigan Avenue in twentieth Street,
and it will it's it's said to open up for
the twenty twenty seven USL Championship season. It's going to
be called Alumni five Field. You know, it's actually pretty
cool to go watch one of these games.

Speaker 1 (27:12):
I w soccer's fine.

Speaker 3 (27:13):
I went to one because they play it in Hampshremmick.

Speaker 4 (27:16):
Now and that stadium it's like just under eight thousand
though the old stum the new one, O hold, I
think fifteen.

Speaker 1 (27:26):
Well fifteen thousand people go see soccer.

Speaker 3 (27:28):
Oh yeah, they pack them in there, Okay, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
Like I was in Saint Louis and when the team
first got there, they sold out every game and the
tickets were a billion dollars. Now you can get in
cheap because the team's not good, And that was like
two years ago that they started. So but this is
the kind of town where soccer, where MLS would work,
only because it's these kind of Midwestern rusty belt type
cities that have a lot of hipsters in the city

(27:52):
that embrace soccer, Like Cincinnati likes soccer, Saint Louis likes soccer.
I think Indy once an MLS team. I think they
have an MLS two team, so they want to. Like
these midwestern Kansas city they all really embrace MLS.

Speaker 3 (28:07):
But we also have a very large diverse population from
people from overseas two in that area, and like I.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
Mentioned, well, they watch real soccer, not MLS.

Speaker 6 (28:17):
They're like.

Speaker 1 (28:20):
One O six point seven Detroit's Wheels, Josh and a Show.
It's Josh and Aaron Fee, Good morning friends. Tigers won
last night two to one. No matter how you get
the Ws, you got to get them. And Paddock was
good last night. Do you want to see the Tigers
in action on September nineteenth against the Atlanta Braves. Do
you want to see them? Well, I have tickets for

(28:41):
you now if you want them, call eight seven seven
nine eight eight one oh sixty seven. I'm not gonna
make you do anything for them, because I've learned that
you won't call if I ask you to actually do something.
You just want things for free. So I'm not going
to waste your time, nor am I going to waste
my time. I'm just going to give someone who calls
these tickets. By that time, hopefully the race isn't close,

(29:03):
but there's a very good possibility that the Tigers are
right there with the guard Indians at the end of
the year, and these could be very meaningful ball games
in September at Comerica Park. So if you want those
tickets eight seven, seven, nine, eight, eight one oh six seven.

Speaker 3 (29:17):
Are you one of those people though that really you're
kind You like baseball and you watch it, but you
don't really get into it till we get to the hunt.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
I like most humans I think are like that. Like
football is one of those sports that every game feels
like it matters, and it's an event. It's only once
a week. You tailgate, it's a big deal. There's only
sixteen or seventeen of them now, so the NFL is big,
College is big. All that baseball. It is hard for
me to get worked up over two or three losses
in a row in April wins or losses in a row,

(29:47):
like I just I don't get into it that look.
I love baseball. That was my favorite sport growing up.
I've been to the World Series. I think four different times.
I've gone to World Series games. I've gotten covered, I've
been in locker rooms and teams have won champion. One
of the coolest moments in my life actually, I was
working in Houston and the Cardinals had just clinched a
wild card back in the old days of the wild card.

(30:10):
And I'm in the clubhouse and there's champagne beer everywhere,
and Adam Waynwright looks over at me and my buddies.
We were just in there to hang out, like I
was working. I just had a media pass. So I'm like, oh,
just see what it's like to be in the locker
room when a team celebrates, you know, And Adam Wainwright
grabs a bud Select and looks at me and goes,
this guy is too dry, and he shakes up a

(30:30):
bud Select and hoses me down like it's a poor no,
Like I'm getting under skeet skeet like all over. And
it was such a good time. Like so I love baseball,
and I love talking to old school baseball guys like
I dig it. But the reality is there's one hundred
and sixty two games and every game does not matter,
but they start to matter more in September, particularly when

(30:52):
you start losing a lot of games like the Tigers
have done recently and allowed the guard Indians to get
back in the race. So September is when it gets fun,
you see.

Speaker 3 (30:59):
I kind of feel like there aren't good there's not
the big villains anymore. Either are good storylines in baseball
to get people really, you know, like very Bonds. Yeah, example,
like when he was on his home run, I.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
Don't think anybody cared that. I think the McGuire thing happened,
and then Bonds came in, and I think people were
bored with the home run stuff by the time Bonds
broke the single season record and then the eventually I
guess the Hank Aaron record was okay, like that was something,
but the single season record, I think people were like
McGuire set this record four years ago and now it's
being broken again. I think like the home run thing

(31:35):
peaked with McGuire and Sosa, the Bonds thing wasn't at
least for me, the Bonds thing wasn't as exciting as
the McGuire thing.

Speaker 4 (31:43):
We need a good baseball storyline.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
We almost see what happens. Let me just answer one
of these phone calls here and see if I can
give away these tickets. Hello, who's this?

Speaker 8 (31:54):
Hey?

Speaker 1 (31:54):
You want to go see the Tigers on September nineteenth.

Speaker 6 (32:00):
I don't want to go to the Tiers.

Speaker 4 (32:01):
All right.

Speaker 1 (32:02):
All I need you to do is say, Josh Ennis
makes me rock hard, and the tickets are yours. Joshness
makes me rock hard.

Speaker 2 (32:11):
Babs Yeahosh Show one six point seven, Just Rocks one
six point seven, w Z Detroit Wheels or my Michigan
Auto Law auto accident Attorneys.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
Visit auto law dot com. That's otto La dot Com.
W Z rocks. It is called Sister Christian. Hello, it's
the Josh Ennis Show. It's Josh and Aaron v Today.

Speaker 7 (32:35):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (32:35):
The end of an era, of course, with dial up
going away, seems like I think we look back on
things like dial up internet so glowingly because we kind
of grew up with it and lived in it. It's
the same as like Blockbuster. You can talk to a
person of a certain era, like I'm thirty nine years old.
People will say, oh my god, what I wouldn't give
to go to Blockbuster tonight and rent a movie. I

(32:58):
guarantee you, if you went to Blockbuster tonight, you'd be
super pissed in the first two minutes of not being
able to find something you wanted to watch. You know
what I'm saying, Like it's so easy to sit down
and just order something on Amazon or watch Netflix. But
we sit there and speak so glowingly of what we
experienced in our youth because it was our youth. So
you know, Red Box or Blockbuster or all the stuff

(33:20):
that we look back on. Now everything has been made easier,
yet we look at that like it was the greatest
thing ever.

Speaker 4 (33:26):
Because it was.

Speaker 3 (33:27):
There was something like going to the video store and
looking for something you wanted to see and there would
just be an empty case there, and.

Speaker 1 (33:34):
Then you'd go up to the counter and you'd have
to ask the guy like, hey, could you check the
returns boxing exactly and see if Terminator two is in
the box.

Speaker 3 (33:42):
And then of course the black curtain hiding the adult section.

Speaker 1 (33:45):
Don't give me listen see like you only got that
though at your local video store, like Blockbuster didn't have
the curtain. There was no curtain at Blockbuster. They were
two mains troops. Unless I'm I do not recall there
ever being a time that Blockbuster had the erotica.

Speaker 4 (34:03):
I think I think they did, but they I do not.

Speaker 1 (34:07):
Believe that ever happened. I don't now. If somebody wants
to help out, you can call eight seven seven nine
eight eight one oh six seven. You know who would
know chat GPT. I'm gonna ask chat GPT right now,
hold on, let me go voice. Did Blockbuster have a
porno section? Let's see if chet chat GBT is like
my wife. Now, that's all I just asked chat GPT questions. No,

(34:32):
at least not in the main Blockbuster video stores. Most
people remember now in your hood, maybe they did the
way you described part of town growing up. I wouldn't
be shocked if the curtain was in your Blockbuster.

Speaker 3 (34:45):
I just would never want to rent physically a porn video,
did you ever?

Speaker 4 (34:52):
No?

Speaker 1 (34:52):
No, No, my dad did. Really. Yeah, that's how I
found them. That's like I would look in the closet
and there'd be random just to be like orno tapes,
like hey, guys, babysitter sex Slutch twelve. Come on, Arver,
we're watching guys, we're having a watching party.

Speaker 4 (35:06):
I don't know where your hands have been. I don't
want to see.

Speaker 1 (35:08):
Well, the thing is more so than the hard copies
of videos though. We were more of a Skinamax household,
you know, so you'd sit around and like, at like
eleven thirty at night, lady, you watch. You'd watch Emmanuel,
you would watch a Hot Springs Hotel. You would watch
Red Shoe Diaries, and if you like, if you were

(35:29):
really hard up and in a pinch, you would watch
real sex. But real sex was super gross because it
was all just like hippies and stuff with giant seventies bushes,
even though it was two thousand and there would just
be giant seventies bushes and it looked like Tracy Chapman
was in a leglock and you're like, what is going
on down there? And like you're like, but listen, I'm
in a pinch. I gotta do what I gotta do.

(35:50):
So you watch, you know, the erotica, the software erotica,
and real sex on HBO.

Speaker 4 (35:55):
You had it good.

Speaker 3 (35:56):
I just remember my brother's flicking back the channel back
and forth, back and forth, back for it to try
and catch a boob.

Speaker 1 (36:01):
See that's the thing that predated me, that predated me. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (36:06):
See for me, I'm like, what are you guys doing?

Speaker 1 (36:08):
Skin Amax was for me, like I skin Amax I had. Now,
there was a bygun era of people that had to
really get their jollys in in creative ways like sears,
catalogs and whatever they could find, you know, like, oh,
that's some good looking ankle there, you know. But now
these kids today though, they've just got hardcore stuff right

(36:30):
on their phone. Like there's some kids sitting in like
a high school right now. His teacher is up at
the board, you know, explaining algebra, and he's watching like
the best of Jenna Jamison on his phone right now.
He's watching He's watching some BBC Action right now, some bbw's.
He's watching some sort of videos like cuck Chair Stories

(36:50):
twelve oh, and this guy is just watching this in class.
Because that's what these kids do now. They have it easy.
See that's the problem I have not to judge the
youth of this era. They have it way too easy
as it as it comes down to their area, as
it relates to their self pleasure needs. They haven't made
like these kids now can probably go on Amazon and

(37:13):
order a fleshlight. Mom and dad will have no clue
it's there. Can you imagine, like, you know, fifteen year
old me twenty some odd years ago, being able to
go to the Internet and buy a Pocket Lady parts,
Like I would have been all over that these kids
can do that now, Like they have it way too easy.
I think we need to make things tougher for them.
But on the other hand, it's tougher for you to
date now, because like, how do you even date? How
do you even tell people? How do you approach a

(37:35):
lady and hit on a lady without being considered some
sort of monster or predator. So I guess it goes
both ways. It does, it does. All that started with
Blockbuster rummers and by the way, dial up conversation. So wheels,
it's the Joshnnas Show. Hello, it's Josh and Aaron ve
on this day in eighteen seventy seven, if you're interested
in such things. Thomas Edison invented the phonograph, so he

(37:58):
is responsible for the record player, and that came about
on this day in eighteen seventy seven. Was it like
one hundred and fifty.

Speaker 4 (38:07):
Eight years to math and I'm not gonna math.

Speaker 1 (38:10):
Well whatever, what is he this year twenty twenty five,
there's one hundred and twenty five. It's one hundred forty
eight years I think, so one hundred and forty eight
years ago was the invention of the phonograph record. Apparently Casey,
who is the boss here, has a big record collection.
He's one of those nerds that's really into vinyl vinyl, like,
so I'm talking with him one day and he's like,

(38:30):
I got a big collection of vinyl. I'm like, that's cool.
Do you want to go drink a beer tonight? No,
I think I'm gonna go home and I'm gonna drink
a beer and I'm gonna listen to vinyl, Like sounds
like a great time. Casey like that. Like, I didn't
grow up in the era of vinyl, so vinyl doesn't

(38:51):
mean anything to me. We had a record player at
a previous radio station. We could play records on the air,
so like actual record so I would screw around with
that sometimes and some of them, really it does sound
better on a record. Like I went out to a
record store and bought a bunch of cool I bought
Mitch Ryder in the Detroit Wheels. It's played double in
the Blue Dresser. Yeah, in the on vinyl, and it
was remarkable, right, Like some dudes just sound great on vinyl.

(39:14):
Meat Loaf sounds amazing, Oh my god, like a two
out of three ain't bad on vinyl. Or Paradise by
the dashboard Light on vinyl is so good. But there
are people like Casey and others. It's a big day
for you. You should go on a pilgrimage to see
where Thomas Edison invented the phonograph record player back in
eighteen seventy seven. So big day for you vinyl nerds.

(39:36):
All right, we'll do some more sports stuff coming up
and just a bit and then who the hell knows
the day's young.

Speaker 2 (39:41):
Stay there, it's the Josh in his show on one
of six WLLZ Detroit and iHeart Radio station.

Speaker 1 (39:49):
Make us the number one preset on your car radio
and on the free, new and improved Ihard Radio app. Good.
I thought you'd agree. Let's see here, Aaron, what do
you got well?

Speaker 3 (40:01):
The Tigers in action against the Chicago White Songs last night.
Spencer Turkle Sin with the solo shots in the ninth
inning to break the tie.

Speaker 1 (40:10):
Yeah, tapp Field and talk Bob and the ninth and the.

Speaker 5 (40:20):
Tickers in testing the littit to a very field.

Speaker 1 (40:26):
Turn. Thanks Tory.

Speaker 7 (40:29):
They said, how about it Torque bomb rock, I get.

Speaker 1 (40:34):
The boys fired up. That was very Carlton Fiskey. That
home run was the way it was kind of hugging
the foul line and he's kind of leaning over and
he wasn't waving it fair, but he was willing it fair.
And uh, and that was that and then they ended up. Uh.
Then there was the rain delay that went about an hour.

Speaker 3 (40:52):
So finally stud one and rainlay was just sixty three.
Do you do you stay? This is my question for you.
Do you stay in this stadium when there's a rain
de lay?

Speaker 1 (41:03):
Well, it varies. I mean if it's in the second inning,
I mean, what else are you gonna do? You know?
I mean if it's last night, I probably would have
left that game. If I were in Chicago and I
had to go to work or something the next day,
I probably I like rain delays as long as there's
still beer is getting blasted in the stadium. I mean, now,
some stadiums will let you leave and go back in
if there's a rain delay. Like in Saint Louis, they

(41:24):
have this whole thing connected to the stadium called Ballpark Village,
and I think you can leave and go into the
bars and there and then come back. Beer is just
as expensive in there as it is in the stadium.
So who cares if you're in the stadium or not.
But some stadiums will let you do that. It depends.
I mean, it depends on the situation. If your team's
down ten to nothing on a Tuesday, go home. If

(41:44):
it's a Friday night, you got nothing else to do,
it looks like it's gonna clear up, hang out.

Speaker 3 (41:48):
I was feel bad for the groundskeepers that have to
pull them giant tarps out.

Speaker 1 (41:52):
Oh that's what they're paid to do.

Speaker 4 (41:53):
I know.

Speaker 3 (41:54):
But imagine if you had like raindelay, then you're playing
rain delay.

Speaker 4 (41:56):
They like, that'd be awful. What he had like twelve
rain delays?

Speaker 1 (42:02):
Oh, I see, all you said was imagine you had
a rain delay and then there was a rain delay.
That would be awful. Well, that's their job. Their job is.
It was like, their job is to pull the charge,
like multiple rain.

Speaker 3 (42:13):
Delays where you know it's like, well, I.

Speaker 1 (42:15):
Feel bad for firefighters, but it's their job to go
in and fight fires.

Speaker 4 (42:19):
Whatever you can get my point. You're still gonna make
fun of me, but whatever.

Speaker 1 (42:23):
But a good job last night too by Chris Paddock.
He was good. And look, you pick up half a game,
you're now six and a half up. That's good that
there's not a bad that came out of that. Whether
you went two to one, twelve to one, fifteen to one,
whether it's seventeen to sixteen, that's a bad team. You
have to beat a bad team, and they beat a
bad team, thank you Torkleson.

Speaker 3 (42:43):
Yep, they do it all against ninety seven forty pm
first pitch right eject thirties projected to have to start ooh,
I know he's not doing so.

Speaker 1 (42:52):
Hard, no, because he's not very good and he wasn't
really that good in Saint Louis either anyone. I mean,
he is what he is, but they need him to
figure figure it out because they don't have a second
dude behind Schooble. That's their biggest pitching wise, I mean,
the bullpen obviously hasn't been very good for a while now.
Finnigan's been a great addition. Obviously, and he shut it
down each time he's had the opportunity. But their biggest

(43:13):
issue they're running into as well, is they have no
depth in the rotation, like after schoobl who by the way,
they can lose games he starts because they have days
they just don't hit. And what's gonna happen is you're
in the first game of a playoff series. You're gonna
have Schooble go, Well, guess what. The dude facing schoobl
is gonna be their Schooble. And while he may not
be as good as schoobl he's that team Schooble. So
it's a very real possibility Schooble loses a two to

(43:36):
one playoff game because they don't hit enough. So and
then who then who follows Schooble and a must win
flaarty eyes? Uh, Charlie Morton Like, come on, man, Like
that's the that doesn't listen to a ton of confidence.
I'm hoping. Look, I hope they go on a miracle run.
But you can't tell me you're super confident once you
get to that point. If you get to that point,

(43:56):
which hopefully they do, I hope.

Speaker 3 (43:57):
So head coach Dan Campbell providing an update on the
offensive lined up yesterday, he confirmed the status just to
hear name, Kobe Sorts will have been placed on the
reserve injured list.

Speaker 4 (44:07):
So they're done. They're done for.

Speaker 1 (44:08):
US seal later Yeah, goodbye.

Speaker 3 (44:10):
Did the team did sign offensive linemen gun to Britain
and Keaton Sutherland. Campbell also confirming Dan Skipper will be
back today unlimited capacity, as.

Speaker 4 (44:19):
Well as Jabarco Jones, which is that's good.

Speaker 3 (44:21):
And Taylor Decker also should be moving a little bit
on the.

Speaker 1 (44:24):
Field today as well. And everybody likes to talk about
the backup quarterback. It's looking like the end of days
for Hendon Hooker. Glowing reviews for Kyle Allen. Not so
much the case for Hooker. Hooker made some good throws. Man.

Speaker 9 (44:37):
Before he was dealing with it, he was doing a
few things, you know, but we got to get more
work taking care of the ball. You know, you decide
you're gonna be a runner, you got to tuck it away, man,
like any runner does. Two hands on the ball in
the pocket when you go to step up. So it's
all the fundamentals that we talk about. So we just
need more work at that and then he'll get to play.

Speaker 1 (44:54):
And then if you hear what he said about Kyle Allen,
he couldn't say enough good things about Kyle Allen versus
like he said, hey, he made a couple of good throws.
It's looking like the end of the road for Hendon Hooker,
Like he had his opportunity to start to look like
he was going to play a half. They yanked him
early in that. I think it might be the end
of the road. Allen's been fine, but if it comes
down to Kyle Allen having to play, if Jared Golf

(45:15):
gets hurt, I'm pretty confident that nothing good will come
of that. But that's as we say every day. That's
every team. There are very few teams in the NFL
that if they're starting quarterback gets hurt. You go, I
think we're fine. Like it didn't work that way, So
there you go. That is sports.

Speaker 3 (45:29):
So you got one more you got Well, it's more
line stuff and this is actually kind of cool. So
starting tomorrow, for those lines fans that go out to
watch the practices, it's joint practices with the Dolphins.

Speaker 1 (45:39):
Oh well, how about ahead of the.

Speaker 4 (45:40):
Game, so that'd be kind of fun to watch.

Speaker 1 (45:42):
There you go, go, watch the Dolphins, and I think
the Texans are going to be in town for some
joint practices too the week after that. So if you
want joint practice, I don't even know why they play games,
just joint practice because I got to make money, that
would be the answer, all right, It's wheels eight seven
seven nine eight eight one oh six seven is the
number program that near Josh in a show, program that
ender your brain. It's Josh and Aaron this Morning. A

(46:04):
huge news while you were sleeping last night. Not just
that the Tigers were able to win after that hour
plus rain delay, and not that the rain delay entertainment
was great, but on the New Heights podcast, which is
the combination of two insufferable douches, the brothers Kelsey. At
least it's not their mom. Then the wife has a
podcast like they were in Look.

Speaker 4 (46:25):
We talked about this last week. I idea who these
people were.

Speaker 1 (46:29):
It is. Look, it is not Christian to judge a stranger,
and I'm aware of that. But I hate the Kelseys
with a passion. And I don't even really hate Travis
Kelsey so much. I don't mind him, and I really
don't mind Taylor Swift. She probably hate me, and that's fine.
But like I saw Taylor Swift second row once, like
for the Red Tour, which was her last country CD,

(46:50):
I was second row for that. It was one of
the gayer moments of my life. Aside from the time
that that gay guy and his lover were fighting over
me at a Share answered, I'd say that was probably
that was my Washington Monument of gay life moments. Oh no,
it was real Share. I wouldn't go see a share impersonator, no, ma'am.
I only see the real thing. So we were in

(47:13):
Vegas and sitting third row for this Share show. There
is probably the fifth or sixth time I've seen Share
at this point, and I'm having a good time. We'll
turn back time, little gypsies, trams and thieves, a little
dark lady, little shoop shoe. So I'm having a good time.
And this, for whatever reason, gay guys gravitate to me
because I'm what you would call a bear. I am
a bear in gay parlance. That just means I'm a fat,

(47:35):
hairy guy. And look, I'm not gay. I have a wife.
But I can kind of see the appeal because when
so many people think you're beautiful, you're like, maybe this
isn't so bad. So this guy's kind of like trying
to dance around me and I'm I'm like, yeah, this
is fun. If I could turn back time. Yeah, but
his lover, his boyfriend, his partner, wife, I don't know

(47:57):
what you call him. The things change all the time.
But his partner was not pleased, and he kept giving
me the stanky and I wanted to be like, listen, sir,
just so you know, I'm not here to make love
to your man. I'm sure he'd like that, but no,
I'm here with my wife and I wanted to tell
him that, but he wanted to fight me. He just
had this look of jealousy and rage and I'm like

(48:18):
over me, like I'm but look, I have gay friends
because I'm look, I have a diverse clientele, and I
have a gay mic as a friend of mine. If
anybody knows him, like he's famous. He's thirsty for me
for whatever reason, that gay dudes love me, and it's
because I'm a bear. It's harry and fat.

Speaker 3 (48:40):
I was with someone last night at the Total concert
who made that same statement, So now I know what
it is.

Speaker 1 (48:46):
What a bear? Yeah, well that's what. Well That's the thing, Aaron,
that the perk, there's a perk that exists in being fat,
and the one perk is that gay dudes like you, Like,
there's no other group of like sexual beings that are
turned on by fat people like you know what I'm saying.
But gay dudes, I have a whole subculture of like

(49:08):
they're just turned on by fat guys. And it does
make you feel nice, is all I'm saying. It's nice
to feel pretty, is all I'm saying. I would not
act on today. Yeah, I would not act on it,
but I would just I will have you know that
gay men find me attractive. I'm like a hero to
them in some way. They love them. That's wonderful. But
speaking of the New Heights podcast, we've hit new lows.

(49:33):
But speaking of the New Heights podcast, Taylor Swift was
on there because I guess their numbers are going down,
so they're like, hey, I can't let my wife have
better numbers than me, so let's bring her on our podcast.
So here's Taylor Swift making this announcement of her next
album with the Brothers Douche.

Speaker 9 (49:50):
So I wanted to show you something.

Speaker 1 (49:51):
Okay, what we got we got a briefcase.

Speaker 3 (49:57):
Yep, green, Yep, this is my brand new album, The
Life of a Showgirl.

Speaker 1 (50:07):
I think I'd drink draino if I had to pretend
to be excited about that, like just like, oh my god,
there's new Taylor. And I'm nothing against Taylor. I used
to find her very alluring back in my day, you know,
like when I thought she was adorable, back when, you know,
like said the country album. I brought up red wonderful
little album, and I was sitting in second rope for that.
But I would drink draino if I had to get

(50:29):
on the radio and act like I cared that Taylor
Swift is putting out a new album.

Speaker 3 (50:33):
I don't really get excited about many things, to be honest,
but I I just.

Speaker 4 (50:40):
I just don't set myself up for disappointment.

Speaker 2 (50:44):
You know.

Speaker 1 (50:44):
I'm not one of those.

Speaker 4 (50:44):
People that it's like, oh my god, I'm face at
concerts or whatever.

Speaker 3 (50:47):
I'm like, oh, that was cool, right right.

Speaker 4 (50:51):
I know, It's just how I roll. But I must say,
is she has aged.

Speaker 3 (50:57):
She's her albums become more dark, and I find them
more appealing.

Speaker 1 (51:00):
Really, I find them worse. No, I like old school.

Speaker 4 (51:04):
Tale no, I like, I like dark messed up. I
probably take prozac. Taylors with.

Speaker 1 (51:12):
You would make it or not?

Speaker 2 (51:15):
This is the Josh in his show six points.

Speaker 1 (51:20):
All right, it's wheels Josh at a show Josh and
Aaron b this morning. What's in the news, Well.

Speaker 3 (51:26):
The only thing I'm really focused on, to be honest,
is the tropical storm named Aaron.

Speaker 1 (51:30):
That can. That's exciting stuff there for me because.

Speaker 4 (51:33):
My name is Aaron.

Speaker 6 (51:34):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (51:35):
They're forecasting it to become the first major hurricane on
trek to cross the planet.

Speaker 1 (51:40):
There you go. So Hurricane Aaron is on the way.

Speaker 3 (51:43):
And it's moving north of Puerto Rico by this weekend.

Speaker 1 (51:46):
So look out, Puerto Rico. Here comes Hurricane Aaron.

Speaker 4 (51:49):
There we go.

Speaker 1 (51:49):
She already blew through the Toto concert yesterday, but now
she's coming from Puerto Rico. Got it?

Speaker 4 (51:56):
You know, Anger Sid's on something bigger.

Speaker 1 (51:58):
Look out, Christopher Cross fans, Hurricane Aaron's are blowing through.

Speaker 4 (52:04):
We talked about it earlier.

Speaker 3 (52:05):
America Online is finally shutting down his stallup internet service.
I thought they were long gone, but apparently not.

Speaker 1 (52:11):
They are not the dial up Well, it won't be
dialing anymore. But apparently people were still dialing up, but
not today. They won't be dialing up because the dial
up is over.

Speaker 3 (52:22):
We were talking about the endless bombardment of CDs in
the mail.

Speaker 1 (52:27):
Well think about this when you think about things that
are outdated and stuff like that. And we used to
think that Netflix sending you a CDs, you know, to
watch DVDs was innovative, you know, like, oh boy, I
got this weekend, My Netflix DVDs are going to get here.
You know, things have changed a lot.

Speaker 4 (52:45):
They indeed have.

Speaker 3 (52:46):
They're still an estimated one hundred and sixty three thousand
people in the country that have dial up, though I
wonder where they are. I'd like to know where these
one hundred and sixty three.

Speaker 4 (52:54):
Thousand people are.

Speaker 1 (52:56):
I don't know, but I feel like they're going to
be really disappointed when they can't yell at the onion
on Facebook anymore. I wouldn't be my guest.

Speaker 3 (53:04):
Big news for a Michigan farm here, Oh boy, Yes,
Carson's Tree Farms.

Speaker 4 (53:09):
They're on the west side of the state.

Speaker 3 (53:11):
They are named Grand Champion in the National Christmas Tree
Association POAST and.

Speaker 4 (53:16):
You know what this meets.

Speaker 3 (53:17):
They get to supply the official White House.

Speaker 1 (53:19):
Christmas Tree thes way to go.

Speaker 3 (53:23):
This is interesting because I did not know there was
a Michigan Christmas Tree Association.

Speaker 1 (53:28):
Who would have known?

Speaker 4 (53:29):
But yeah, this is a big thing. They had to
win at a state level and all this other stuff.

Speaker 1 (53:33):
But yeah, way to go, farmers. Let me tell you something.
You did it. We love the farmers here, Christmas trees
and everything. Go farmers go.

Speaker 4 (53:47):
Oh, I missed that show.

Speaker 1 (53:59):
Life for me, lands spreading out so far and why
cheap Manhattan? Just give me that countryside.

Speaker 6 (54:11):
Rather.

Speaker 1 (54:18):
It's like, listen, this man's trying to give the good
life with you. Sassy. You are that.

Speaker 8 (54:24):
Hot, the chores, the stores, fresh air, Time Square are
my wife?

Speaker 1 (54:35):
See?

Speaker 6 (54:35):
I like that.

Speaker 1 (54:35):
My man stepped up and he said, listen here, that's
a that's a by gone era. He said, I don't
give a damn what you want, ma'am. I don't care.
You're coming with me. And what was his reasoning? You're
my wife, You're coming with me. We're going to the
That's all that was. He says, you were my wife
and a yankster. He goes. She goes, well, I guess
goodbye city life. Well I'm glad that you're celebrating misogyny.

(54:56):
So there you go, Aaron, I'm gonna be a feminist.
Why did you put that on me? Look, I thought
you were going to step up and say, well that
was inappropriate.

Speaker 4 (55:05):
No, I don't care.

Speaker 1 (55:06):
We got to cancel Eddie Albert now.

Speaker 8 (55:08):
No.

Speaker 3 (55:09):
I feel like whatever is on my relationship, that's my business.

Speaker 1 (55:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (55:13):
Hey, look I stay in my legs.

Speaker 1 (55:14):
If Wilbur wants to grab his wife and say I'm
forcing you into a life of domestic hell on a farm,
that they that that's their relationship, ship is it's not mine?

Speaker 4 (55:25):
You know, you know everybody exchanges passwords. This is the
other thing that came out yesterday.

Speaker 1 (55:30):
Who exchanges pass well.

Speaker 3 (55:32):
You know, like for Netflix and all that type of thing,
like your share. So HBO's salty and they're saying, look,
if we catch you, we're adding on another eight dollars.

Speaker 1 (55:41):
They should, I mean, honestly, they should. I mean, like,
if it were your business and you were losing eight
dollars times thousands of people, you'd probably be pissed too.
I'm not trying to you know, back the man here
by any means. I'm not trying to step up and
defend them. But if it were you losing that money,
you'd be like, well this bs right, Like you'd be

(56:02):
mad about that if you're sharing passwords with other Rando
friends of yours.

Speaker 3 (56:05):
I don't think I have watched anything on HBO or but.

Speaker 1 (56:08):
That's not the point. The point. It could be anything.
It could be any It could be Netflix. What if
it were Netflix, What if it were I mean I
think Netflix may do that anyway. What if it were
Amazon Prime and you were sharing, like it doesn't matter
like that. They're just the vessel that HBO Max is
the vessel for this story. But big picture, if it
were any other wouldn't like I mean, if you're sharing passwords,
it would still suck for them. Again, I'm not trying

(56:30):
to support the man.

Speaker 3 (56:31):
You even stop like you can't stop it though it's
just the way it is.

Speaker 1 (56:34):
You can't. There's ways to stop it. I mean, obviously
there is.

Speaker 3 (56:37):
They are well they've had I guess apparently they've had
this fine in there, they've never enforced it.

Speaker 1 (56:43):
Well now they can see now they can do it,
they can enforce it. So there you go, right there
you go. That's the news and this is ACDC. So
the headline for this story is about this lady umpire
Jim Powell, who every headline says has broken a barrier
because she's a lady umpire. What bothers me about it

(57:05):
is what barrier Like. A barrier to me is something
that somebody put up to keep people out of something.
So Jackie Robinson breaks the color barrier. Well, there was
a color barrier black dudes couldn't play in the major leagues.
That was a fact that black duds could play. I
don't think there was a barrier that said women can't
be umpires. Women just didn't want to be umpires, you

(57:26):
know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (57:27):
Maybe that's just horrible writing.

Speaker 1 (57:30):
Yeah, horrible writing.

Speaker 3 (57:31):
Now, if you were saying she made history as the
first female umpire, that's more accurate.

Speaker 1 (57:37):
And I would say, I don't care, but at least
that's more accurate than broke some barrier.

Speaker 3 (57:41):
I do care, why because I love baseball and I
pray that I see the day when there is a
woman in Major League Baseball, not as an umpire, but actually.

Speaker 1 (57:51):
As a player. You will not.

Speaker 4 (57:52):
Maybe not, but I liked.

Speaker 3 (57:54):
The TV show that had one in it, So I
mean to me, that would be because as a female
who played sports.

Speaker 4 (58:04):
Sure, I could never play baseball.

Speaker 3 (58:06):
They made me play softball, right, I could never play baseball,
and I prefer baseball over softball. Okay, and I kind
of feel like they make.

Speaker 4 (58:15):
Us play softball. Maybe we like baseball better.

Speaker 1 (58:18):
Maybe science makes you play softball. No, maybe trust the science.
Maybe it's science that's telling that. You know, it's the
same thing. It's like, why don't girls like I've here,
I've been hearing all the stories about how there's going
to be girls flag football. There is girls flag football
in high school now, which is cool, But girls aren't
going to play tackle football with dudes because science won't
allow that to happen because these girls would get mankled.

Speaker 3 (58:39):
Well, there's females that do play college football. They're mostly kickers.

Speaker 1 (58:43):
That's not a real position.

Speaker 4 (58:45):
How many games have been won by the kicker?

Speaker 1 (58:47):
How many games have been won by a lady kicker?

Speaker 4 (58:50):
I will google that and find out.

Speaker 1 (58:53):
I'll tell you probably zero. I know, I will set
the over under at half zero point five.

Speaker 3 (58:59):
I will you know that play for New Mexico State.
He was actually really good.

Speaker 1 (59:03):
Okay, look, that's fine, that's fine. I have nothing against
the concept of a lady kicker or anything like that.
But like, I know.

Speaker 4 (59:09):
What you're saying.

Speaker 3 (59:10):
From a physical perspective, yes, it's correct, it's highly not right.

Speaker 1 (59:13):
It's not because they're women. It's just because of science.
You know what I'm saying. I don't look at women
and go oh, you shouldn't be allowed to do this.
And that's the part that bothered me about this umpire
story being called some sort of barrier being broken.

Speaker 4 (59:23):
It's not a barrier.

Speaker 1 (59:23):
No barrier was broken. It was just a lady that
decided to be an umpire. And oh, by the way,
her first pitch that she saw was an awful missed call.
That was a ball five feet inside you gold to strike.
But in her defense, all umpires sucks, so that doesn't
bother me, Like, I know that you see people ripping
her like, oh, look the lady umpire DEI whatever. I'm like,
I don't give a damn about that. That doesn't like

(59:45):
she missed a call. Whatever. People miscalls umpire suck. That's
why they want robot umpires because the umpires suck. It's
a crappy job.

Speaker 3 (59:52):
It just takes away from the game. Now, if they
do that, that's all another conversation.

Speaker 1 (59:55):
We can get into that another time. But apparently her
consistent list, they do umscorecards her overall accuracy and consistency.
We're both rated ninety three percent. So I don't know
what's good and what's bad. I would imagine you'd like
it to be closer to one hundred than ninety three.
But I just I don't like. I get annoyed when
we try to take things that aren't a big deal

(01:00:15):
and make it a big deal. For sure, there is
no like young girl watching that going boy. I've been
dreaming of being an umpire my whole life, and now
Jim Powell has broken the lady barrier and umpiring, and
now I got a shot. Nobody cares. That's what bothers
me about that, Not that she did it, not that
she's a lady. Like if a lady can be a
basketball ref or a football ref, which we see all

(01:00:36):
the time, do you see who umpires are? They're slobs.
They stand there with their thumb and their ass all
day Like who cares? Like we look at umpires and
we're like, I don't know that a lady's capable of
doing that. A lady can stand there and pick her
ass for four hours. I can assure you that Josh
is show
