Speaker 4 (00:11):
The Josh in his show on one six point seven
Doubleullz Detroit's Wheels Belt two.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
Ass, that's what you saw last night in Baltimore. Belt
two ass. Final score didn't even show how much of
a beat down that was thirty eight to thirty was
the final garbage touchdown late? That was a thorough ass kicking.

(00:43):
How many sacks were there's seven sacks, six tackles for loss?
Come on, man, Lamar, who Dereck Henry? Who you got
Derrick Henry throwing his helmet around because he fumbled again?
Defense all over him, Sonic and knuckles shoving it right

(01:04):
up their asses. Come on, man, let's go. What a day.
Oh but they were five and a half point underdogs.
All the world said the Lions are dead. Well, the
rumors of the Lions' demise are greatly exaggerated because we're
still here. Damn it. That felt like watching the last

(01:29):
two weeks felt like watching the old school Lions baby
putting up fifty They've scored what ninety points in the
last two games, and this time it went in Chicago.
This time, you little sports talk radio nerds can't be like,
well this she is Chicago cares. Oh, y'all blow Baltimore
all the time. So was it the second time that

(01:53):
Baltimore is giving up about forty points in the game
this year? Maybe they ain't all that good either, but
you know what, don't matter. They made him look bad.
Just a thorough ass kicking man. Fun game last night,
just a fun game back and forth early. But just
watching them dominate in the trenches, watching them being able

(02:14):
to control the clock, watch them being able to run
right up the gut of the defense and just not
be stopped. Ah, we might be looking at the best
team in the NFL. Maybe that's recency bias, maybe, but
we may be looking at the best team in the NFL.
Three weeks ago that seems like it'd be ridiculous. Today

(02:34):
we might be, but who knows, maybe next week we won't.
But as it stands today, on September twenty third, this Tuesday,
after that dominant Monday night football performance, I think we're
looking at the best team in the NFL. The joker
Steve Miller ban Hello, it's Josh. What's going on? Big
Lions win last night? Baby, Look we're back the last

(03:00):
two games. Look at what they've been doing. Dominating is
what they've done the last two games. Thirty eight to
thirty was the final last night, But honestly, it wasn't
that close, Dan Campbell, how did you do it?

Speaker 5 (03:11):
We were able to corral Lamar, we didn't let Henry
get going, and Zay Flowers, you know, we came away
with takeaways and big stops, and offensively, we were able
to control the ground and the time of possession, and
our receivers and Golf made play some critical moments in
this game. I just thought it was an outstanding team effort.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Man.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
How about big balls?

Speaker 5 (03:33):
Dan?

Speaker 1 (03:33):
Letting them hang on that fourth down at the end
of the game there, right before they put the icing
on the cake that fourth down at midfield, Golf delivers
it domin rob Bam first down. They ran the ball
incredibly last night, two hundred and twenty four rushing yards.

(03:54):
Compare that to Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson. The dynamic
duo had eighty five yards eighty five to two twenty
four throwing the ball. They were good as well. Oh
and by the way they sacked Lamar seven times, by
the way they had six tackles for a loss, by

(04:15):
the way they recovered a fumble. What a night, What
a night. And they may be the best team in
the league right now. They may very well be three
weeks ago. You wouldn't have believed it. Right now, you do?
You want to talk about it? Eight seven seven nine
eight eight one oh six seven. You can also text
text the word Josh and your message to five nine
five seven zero. I want to hear them from you today.

(04:36):
That felt good last night, didn't it. Maybe you'll have
more good feelings tonight when the Tigers are in Cleveland
taking on the guard Indians. One game up, six games
to play three games in a row against the guard Indians.
We have got Derek Scooble on the bump. He will
take on Gavin Williams. Last time Gavin Williams took to

(04:56):
the hill, he went three innings shut out baseball against
the Tigers. What will happen tonight we shall see. And
we have got more rock and roll coming up.

Speaker 4 (05:08):
This He's the Josh in his show on one of
six point seven WLZ Detroit.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
One on six point seven Detroit's wheels. Josh had a
show on a victory Tuesday in Detroit. We'll talk about
the Lions throughout the morning. So if you want to
get in, I want to hear from you now. Okay,
text the word Josh and your message to five nine,
five seven zeros. You're waking up this morning. Let me
know how you're feeling, because after week one, the whole

(05:37):
world had written off the Lions. Oh, they're dead. All
they can't do without Ben Johnson. Oh they can't do
it without Aaron Glenn. They're just done. Jared Goff is
a product of the the Ben Johnson offense. He's not
very good. This team's not very good. All they got
smoked by Green Bay. It's over. The championship, windows closed,

(05:58):
and all they've done is scored ninety points in the
last two weeks. All they've done is gone two. Baltimore
is a five and a half point underdog and hung
thirty eight on the old the vaunted Ravens defense. Oh,
I want to know how you feel today. It's gotta
feel good, especially after watching the complete meltdown of the

(06:18):
Tigers the last three or four weeks. It's gotta feel
good to wake up this morning, on this Tuesday and
puff your chest down a little bit and go, Hey,
take that Baltimore, Take that Chicago ninety points in the
last two weeks. Text the word Josh in your message
to five nine five seven zero. Describe how you're feeling

(06:39):
about the Lions in one word, one word. Let's play
that game on the text line. Text the word Josh
and your message to five nine five seven zero Tuesday morning,
six thirty four. You're feeling good one word to describe
how you feel about the Lions after that beatdown last night.
Text the word and your word to five nine five

(07:02):

Listen for all your music radio end podcasts free never
sounded so good.

Speaker 4 (07:29):
The Josh Innis Show on one six point seven Dollz
Detroit's Wheels.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
All Right, seven o'clock straight up. Josh Innis show Welcome
in Detroit.

Speaker 6 (07:40):
Ers.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
Am I out a line saying I think the Lions
can win the Super Bowl. Maybe maybe it's recency bias.
I don't know, but it feels good to say it.
I was just reading something non related that really shocked me.
By the way, did you know that there are seven states?

(08:03):
Seven states where after work drink specials are banned? And
when you hear the states, you'll go, okay, most of
those makes sense. And then there's a couple where you're like,
that doesn't make sense at all, which means happy hours, like,
which is absurd. Happy hour is the best time you
get discounts. Hell, you can go to Sonic and get

(08:26):
a happy hour deal. Massachusetts. That you know some of
these are gonna track, You're gonna go, okay, Massachusetts, that
makes sense. That seems like a horrible, miserable place to
live weatherwise. I'm sure it's nice, you know, but it
just seems like the people of Massachusetts would be a
horrible type to be around. Alaska, Like, that's not fair. Like,

(08:49):
if you will live in Alaska, you deserve happy hour,
You deserve to be able to get discounted drinks. If
you live in a place where it's dark like twenty
two hours of the day and miserable. But then again,
if you're used to living there and you don't know
anything else, Like what do you know do people actually
live in igloos there legit question Utah? Well, Utah just

(09:09):
doesn't like anything fun. Utah is a place where fun
is outlawed. Utah is like the town in Footloose, like
everything is outlawed. Like when NBA teams travel there, they're
miserable when they have to stay the night in Utah
because there is nothing. And oh, by the way, Utah
is where Michael Jordan got quote unquote food poisoning, where

(09:31):
he was poisoned if you believe him. Rhode Island, Like
what is there about Rhode Island? Like I could like Providence.
I've been to Providence, Vermont. Again, these are places that
just seem like joyless places. But then you hear North
Carolina and you go how much North Carolina state that
outlaws happy hours? And Oklahoma another boring state? Like what

(09:55):
else is there to do in Oklahoma but get tanked? Hey,
guys in the car, We're going to the big city
of Oklahoma City, Like what other options do you do?
Like you're you live in Oklahoma, I'm getting tanked. I
live in Rhode Island. I'm getting tanked. But apparently you
can't have happy hour specials there. I was shocked to

(10:15):
read the fact that there are states that don't have
happy hour specials is wild, especially for someone like me
who grew up in Louisiana. Spent most of my childhood
in Louisiana, where you can just get dakeries at a
drive through at places called like the popp and go like, hey, listen,
we urge you to not drink and drive. But here's

(10:35):
a drive through dakery one oh six point seven Detroit's Wheels.
That's the red hot chili peppers that is under the bridge.
I am, josh, what's happening? It is time for sports.
I have an idea of I think we should build
a victory playlist. So every Monday or in this case, Tuesday,

(10:59):
after Lions victory, we have a playlist and we just
say casey ain't listening anyway, and we just play the playlist.
This is the thought. If this gets a good reaction
from you guys, I'll do it, and I will risk
the consequences. I can deal with Casey. You know you
probably should just play the music that's scheduled. I'm like, maybe,

(11:24):
but if you had to pick songs that you think
would sound good, Like you're driving to work on a Tuesday,
your football team, your Lions just dominated the Ravens. What
songs would make you feel good on that Tuesday or
that Monday, or that Friday or whatever it may be.
Help me out here. Text the word Josh and your
message to five nine five seven zero. I need your

(11:47):
help on this one, because if we build a good
enough list for this, I'm gonna say, Casey, be damned.
I'm not afraid of you. I don't sweat you, but
I need the ultimate victory playlist. Give me a song,
a a rock song, something that just gets you hyped
up and pumped up and makes you feel good after
a Lions beat down like that last night. Text the

(12:10):
word Josh in your message to five ninety five seven zero.
I am curious to see where this goes, because I
will gladly build a Lions victory playlist and we will
jam hard. Text the word Josh and your playlist suggestion
to five nine five seven zero. All Right, so you
know the score of thirty eight thirty. It wasn't that close.

Speaker 3 (12:32):
Now.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
A couple weeks ago, there's a lot of doubts surrounding
the Lions after getting throttled and embarrassed in Green Bay.
Aiden Hutchinson says, Yeah, we might have had some doubters,
but we didn't stop believing. I knew we were a
good team.

Speaker 7 (12:47):
And I know, you know, people were outing us after
that Green Bay game, and you know we got the
big test in Cleveland next week, so that.

Speaker 4 (12:54):
Is that, right?

Speaker 1 (12:55):
Yeah, So it's like it's just NFL. It's gonna be
every week. We got it.

Speaker 7 (12:59):
We had to bring our a game, you know, and
when we brought it today and it paid off.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
But it's we're two and one now and we got
we gotta stack them. How good was hutch yesterday? Tackle
for loss, sack, quarterback, hit, He did it all. The
man was a beast last night. Dan Campbell, do you

(13:24):
believe that this was a statement victory for your club?
That's a good win for us.

Speaker 5 (13:28):
You know, I don't know statement all this and that,
but it just feels good to know against a type
of team like that, you play a different type of
game and you're able to find a way to win.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
So one of the things I mentioned.

Speaker 5 (13:40):
Earlier this year is I told the team I want
to find I'm going to find out how many different
ways we can win games, you know, because the better
you get it winning, the more you win. So that
took everything we had, and I was proud.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
Of the players. They truly dominated the game. Don't be
fooled by how close the final score was. Golf was
damn you're perfect. Throwing the football two hundred two yards
a touchdown, David Montgomery a buck fifty one and two scores,
including a seventy two yard touchdown. Jamiir gives sixty seven
on the ground, thirty two through the air. Listen to

(14:14):
how long some of these plays were. Seventy two yard run,
twenty yard pass, twenty four yard pass. But the most
impressive thing was how they were able to just pound
and pound and pound, and how they were able to
put together long, sustained drives and run it right into
the teeth of the Ravens defense. This is a Super

(14:34):
Bowl caliber team, kids, mark my words, they're damn good.

Speaker 5 (14:38):
Now.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
A team that we thought was World Series caliber but
may not be is the Tigers tigned to nut up
or shut up at this point tonight in Cleveland, Trek Scooble,
Gavin Williams, first place on the line. You win this one,
you're up two games with five to go. You lose
this one, you're tied with five games to go. It

(14:59):
is his big as it gets. That's tonight, and it's so,
what time is that game? Seven forty tonight or six
forty tonight? I got to see it, my bad. Sometimes
the time zone still screw with me. But it's a
big game tonight. Nonetheless, Tiger's with first place on the line.
And now you're all right, so we're getting the text

(15:20):
messages in. Remember you have to text the word Josh
and your message all in the same text. I know
it's a pain in the ass and it's lame, but
that's how you have to do it. We're looking to
build the ultimate Lions celebration playlist. This morning, that was
a beatdown, that was an ass kicking. And whether it's
a Monday, whether it's a Friday, whether it's a Tuesday,
I want to build a playlist where every time the

(15:43):
Lions kick somebody's ass, we're gonna play some playlists for people.
We're gonna get you some music. We're gonna get you
something because you're already feeling good going into work today.
How could you not feel good going into work today
after hearing the whole world tell you that your team
sucked two weeks ago to now winning two in a
row and scoring ninety points over those two games. How
do you not feel good about sacking Lamar Jackson seven times?

(16:04):
How do you not feel great about forcing a key
fumble of the King King Henry and six tackles for
loss and thirty eight points? You feel great? You should
feel great, and you deserve to feel great. So I
need you to build me a playlist. We're gonna build
it together. It is a it is a collaborative effort here.

(16:25):
Now some of the suggestions I've been getting aint nothing
but a good time. So that's poison. Hair of the dog.
Little Now you're messing with a son of a bitch, Thunderstruck.
We've gotten a recommendation for a lot of seek and
destroy people have mentioned from Metallica. We're trying to build
a Lions victory playlist this morning. Text the word Josh

(16:46):
and your message to five nine five seven zero one
though six points seven detroits Wheels Collective Soul. So we'll
build that playlist, that Lions victory playlist. We'll play that
in the nine o'clock hour. I misspoke and I want
to do it on the eight o'clock out. We'll do
it to the nine o'clock hour, the Lions victory playlist.

(17:07):
People are sending in their suggestions for songs to celebrate,
to get you hyped up after a Lion's dub rock
you like a hurricane, kickstart my heart. The boys are
back in town. Here's a sleeper all she wrote by Firehouse,
which I would be very much in favor of. As
you know, I'm a big Firehouse guy. I can't drive

(17:30):
fifty five. We played Winner Takes It All earlier, Thunderstruck,
Air of the Dog. Get your requests in text the
word Josh and your request into five nine five seven zero.
That's the number. And we're gonna build that Lions victory
playlist for the nine o'clock hour. Maybe it'll become a tradition.
Who knows. Trying to find a prayer line that I

(17:51):
can call about the Tigers this morning too. I've been
googling prayer lines. Now. Some of these prayer lines you
can just like submit a prayer and someone will respond
to it. So some of these are great, like if
you think that my desire to pray for the Tigers
to win today is is you know, just kind of frivolous.
Zeke here says I'm stressing over my exam tomorrow. Please

(18:14):
pray for me that I'd be able to study effectively.
And then there's just a response that says I prayed
for this person. So maybe that's all we need to
do is go to his radio dot com. So now
some of them are more serious, like this one says,

(18:35):
there is someone being evil taking up my days. What
is giving him these abilities to do this to faith?
I am sick of him. Stop his persistent attack and
mischief against the faith of Jesus Christ from Jewish crime. Okay,
somebody pray for that person, though, pray for the anxiety

(18:56):
to leave my body right now. In Jesus's name, I
pray for this person. So maybe I'll just go to
this website because I need to pray. I think we
need prayer. That's why we pray. As mc hammer said,
we have to pray just to make it today. That's

(19:17):
why we pray. I think we need Jesus to help
the Tigers. That's the only thing I can come up with.
So I'm going to find a prayer line to call
as well. Stick around Josh in his show.

Speaker 4 (19:28):
WLLZ Detroit's Wheels, the biggest headliner.

Speaker 1 (19:32):
Is doing well. We know they are not doing well.
You don't need me to tell you. They are not
doing well. And I don't know what can help them.
I mean, they can't win games. They're one game up
on the on the Guard Indians with three against them
and six overall. Now, if they win today, if Scooble

(19:53):
can win this thing today, I feel pretty good. If
they lose this, it's a tie and and then there's
a lot of trouble. Right, So this is a must
win game because then you got the other dopes pitching
in the next two games. You've got to get a
Schooble win. And we need a higher power. And I've
been calling around trying to find a a church or

(20:16):
somebody like a prayer line I can call, because I
think we need Jesus. So if you got a local
church or something, reach out. But I'm gonna try one
of these lines I found on here. I believe this
is from the Lighthouse Network dot org. The Lighthouse Network
dot org. Oh, apparently this is like the seven hundred Club,

(20:37):
Remember the seven hundred club with what's Pat robertson the
seven hundred Club. Okay, now we're talking, all right, I'm
gonna try to call this number. Let me dial this
up really quick and let me see if I can
get someone that said that has prayers. I need prayers.
We've got to pray just to make it today. Help
the Tigers beat the guard Indians. That's what we need.

(20:58):
All right, here we go, let me see if I
got it.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
Report here we go. Hi, my name is Josh Ennis.
I am at one oh six point seven w LZ
Detroit's Wheels. It's a radio station in Detroit. Peace be
with you tonight. There's a matter of a very large
baseball game that's happening in Cleveland. It is a matchup

(23:49):
between the Cleveland Guardians. They used to be the Indians,
but now due to like people getting offended, they're now
the Guardians and they're taking on the Detroit Tigers. And
the Tigers need to win to stay in first place.
And look, I know you got bigger issues. Is is
Benny hin there? Anyway? I know you've got bigger issues.
But maybe if you wouldn't mind, could just send a

(24:11):
prayer up for the Tigers tonight because they've been struggling.
Their bats aren't really coming through, starting pitching has been
really bad. They just dfad. Charlie Morton, Schooble's kind of
our only hope. Maybe send up a prayer for schoobl
like little prayers up, like, Hey, prayer warriors, let's hope
Terrek Schooble throws like a perfect game or something like.
You can't lose if you throw a perfect game, right,

(24:31):
So that's pretty cool. But you know, maybe pray for
Terrek's Scooble to throw a complete game. That'd be pretty
sweet and a victory. Not'd like one of those complete
games where you lose. You know you don't want one
of those, but you know, maybe like a perfect game.
I'm not asking for a lot. Maybe pray for this
Kwan to get food poisoning. I know you're not supposed

(24:53):
to pray for bad things. I'm fully aware' I know that,
like Jesus doesn't use his powers for that. But maybe
just like not like a bad form, just the kind
that keeps him on the commode all day and and
and then maybe you can't play like that'd be nice.
And you know, just so we make the playoffs so
people will be happy. That's all I'm looking for here,
to make the playoffs so people will be happy. You

(25:15):
can call me back at eight seven seven nine eight
eight one oh six seven eight seven seven nine eight
eight one oh six seven Like, I don't know if
we pray together or if you just throw some up
to the big man, like, I don't really know how
this works, but this is a last resort because we're slumping,
and uh, if this doesn't work out, I'm going to
go to voodoo. I assume that you guys are not
fans of voodoo, so I'm gonna go to Jesus first.

(25:37):
But if I don't get a call back, like witches
and voodoo and like chicken bones and stuff, and I
don't want to do that because that's bringing on the
occultant who wants to do that. So uh, anyway, be
blessed hashtag blessed. May the Lord be with you, also
with you all that jazz, and I'm looking forward to
hearing back from you at eight seven seven nine eight
eight one oh six seven. Hey go get them tigers.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
Yeah I am.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
We celebrate it the same way we do every day
on wheels by not playing Bruce Springsteen. He is seventy six, though,
and if you're really into watching old men waddle and grunt,
you can spend six thousand dollars a ticket to see
him in concert. Old men do have a grunt about them.

(26:24):
I don't think I'm an old man grunt age yet.
Once I went to see American Pie with my grandpa, which,
as you know, is a movie with a lot of
sex and nudity, and my grandpa just grunted through the
whole movie. Like what age do you hit as a
man where you just grunt at anything sexual? Like you
become a monkey, you become a gorilla or an ape.

(26:45):
Every time something sexual happens, you just go And when
you pee, you grunt when you pee, and you grunt
when you see something sexual. What age does that happen?
Please let me know. Text the world, Josh in your
message to five nine five seven zero and what age
did you start grunting when you saw something sexual and

(27:08):
when you peeded? I also learned later in life that
my grandpa wrote his own erotic fiction, which was strange one.
I was six point seven Detroit's Wheels, G and R
doing Bob Dylan Knock Knocked, Knocking Out Own Heaven's No

(27:30):
Off Josh in his show, Jared Goff had a great
game last night. It wasn't a game that he really
needed to be fantastic, but he was fantastic. He got
the job done and he led the team to victory
a team that had two ninety plus yard drives that
were spectacular, and the quarterback talks about those big, time

(27:52):
consuming drives big and they were all through ro O line.

Speaker 9 (27:56):
I think I don't know how many times we ran
in on the ninety eight year od when it felt
like we just kept running the ball and then Demo
obviously had the long run on the other one. But yeah,
those guys out front tonight were incredible and they were grinding.
They were tired on some of those long drives and
they were retired, and the d line was more tired.
So it was good to just see them keep pushing,
keep going, and those are huge trips.

Speaker 1 (28:16):
Update by the way, on the quest to get some
prayers for the Tigers tonight, I have not heard back
from the prayer line, so I look, my phone line
is open. I left a message for the prayer line.
I mean, I don't think it's in good I don't
think it's good karma for them to just ignore someone
who needs help. I mean, look at you. Your prayer

(28:36):
line is helping some dude praying on his exam. You
can help out the damn tigers. All I needed was
a little bless you boys or something. Speaking of the Tigers,
they play tonight. Of course, Trek Scooble versus Gavin Williams.
First place on the line tonight. It is a must win.
If you lose this, it is a tie raised with

(28:59):
five games. And I know what you're saying, Well, Josh,
if you lose this, I mean, so what, there's five
games ago. You still control your own destiny. And I'm
sure that's what we'll hear from aj hinches they keep losing.
It's well, I try to tell the guys, we control
our own destiny. You also controlled your own destiny. When
you have fifteen damn games, I don't want to hear
about you control your own destiny, control it, then control

(29:20):
your destiny. Former Tiger Justin Verlander, who many think should
be playing for the Tigers now that a move should
have been made to bring him back. He got pummeled
last night, by the way, by the Cardinals, who have
had the worst offense in baseball in the second half
of the season. Four and a third inning, six runs,
four of them earned. But look, jv'sra is back under four.

(29:43):
Like he does this. He was terrible to start the year.
His record is awful, but give him credit. The dude
bounces back it's kind of like the year. And this
is many moons ago, of course, but in twenty seventeen
when the Tigers traded him to the astros, Zra was
like on the fives for most of the year and
then he just boom turned it int. That's just what
JV does. Again. I would much rather see him pitching

(30:04):
for the Tigers right now than the Giants. It's better
than the alternative for the most part.

Speaker 4 (30:08):
Here.

Speaker 1 (30:08):
I mean, look, I understand that we got Charlie Morton,
who I think is back with the Braves now. My
man got DFA cried and now he's back in Atlanta.
I believe I saw that. And there you have it.
There's sports all right. If you want in eight seven
seven nine eight eight one oh six seven eight seven
seven nine eight eight one oh six seven, get your
requests in for the Ultimate Lions playlist Victory Tuesday playlist.

(30:31):
We'll give that to you in the nine o'clock hour.
But you need to text in text the word Josh
and the song that you think kicks ass. It would
fit right in the heart of the playlist. Text the
word Josh in your song to five nine five seven zero.
We got the Beasties. Now Josh in a show, he
Al's gotta be pissed today. Other than the he certain

(30:56):
group of people who are really ticked off about Jimmy
kimmelbean back on TV. There's certainly a group of those
people who are angry. But the people that really have
to be angry are the people at the ticket this morning,
because they hate when the teams do well here because
then they don't know what to do with themselves, like
when Ricky Bobby doesn't know what to do with his
hands during that interview. They only know one speed over

(31:17):
at the ticket, and that is hate and anger and
the team sucks and you're stupid for believing in them.
So not only does it have to bother them that
the team won last night, that the Lions won, it
has to really bother them that they won in the
way they did and scored thirty eight points on the

(31:38):
Ravens because last week, if you recall, these numb nuts
were like, well they just beat the Bears. Who cares? Well, now,
what are you gonna find some way to downplays? Maybe
the Ravens suck. Well, maybe they suck because they've lost
to you and you scored thirty eight. But there's no
way that's gonna be part of it. It's got to
be no, Nope, it has to be because the ravens

(32:03):
now suck and watch that gonna That's what's gonna happen there.
That's what these sports tweaves do here. That's their thing.
So that's what they do there. Their shows are pretty
easy to break down for you. Host goes on the air,
says that he cares about nothing, says that the team

(32:26):
may win but probably won't win. Then the guy that
sits next to him just repeats exactly what he said.
They laugh at the idea that you're stupid, and then
they take callers from the angriest people on the planet.
I've just broken down sports radio and Detroit like basically

(32:47):
they could just do like basically, they could open the
mic every day and just be like, hey, it's ninety
seven point one the ticket we hate you. Hey it's
ninety seven point one. We hate all of the teams here,
And you're all, why would it, like, why would anybody
listen to that? Why do you want to listen to
people that tell you how stupid you are and how

(33:08):
much they hate your teams constantly and I'm all about,
like you got to be fair, like you don't want
to go on the air, and like, you know, like
people know when you're being Pollyanna, and people know when
you're a homer, and if people aren't riding that wave
at that time, they'll eat you alive. I get that.
It's just crazy to me that people listen to this
radio station which is just constantly dudes hating the teams

(33:30):
and hating you, calling you stupid. But that's what happens
when New York people come in and try to bully
Midwestern people and think they have the biggest d in town.
But that's all it is. And then you put a
bunch of you know, clapping seals around you to echo
everything you say. And then you've got like a nice
protective little cocoon there, a cone of silence there, this

(33:54):
little shelter you have there where nobody comes at you,
nobody has anything to say to you. So I'm assuming
that they'll just you know, be super negative about that,
which I don't know how you can be negative about
the last two weeks. Somehow it's gonna be like, yeah,
they won, but they gave up thirty points. It's the
ticket let's go to badfool. That's the ticket, Like they'll

(34:16):
find whatever the bad thing was. Yeah, I scored thirty
eight and beat up on the Ravens in primetime and
killed Lamar for seven sacks, but they had four miss tackles.
Let's got bathfolls. What a crappy radio station whatever, having

(34:36):
no competition will do that. You got fourteen rock radio
stations in town in one crappy sports station. Must be nice.
Oh you don't want to be Must be nice guy, Josh.
That's no good, nobody likes. Must be nice guy Josh.
All right, if you want to get in eight seven
seven nine eight eight one oh six seven eight seven
seven nine eight eight one oh six seven. That is

(34:58):
the phone number you can text. Text the word and
your message to five nine five seven zero. I find
us to be a solid alternative to the anger and
constant outrage and constant hate for everything local that you
get on the ticket. I enjoy the way we do
sports versus the way they do sports. I enjoy the
way we do rock versus how large James does rock.

(35:19):
That's all figured. I'd let you know, tell your friends
about it. We are Detroit's wheels.

Speaker 6 (35:24):
It's The Josh Nis.

Speaker 4 (35:25):
Show on one OO six point seven, DOUBLELLZ.

Speaker 1 (35:29):
One ELL six point seven, d Troit's Wheels, Josh Inn Show.
What's Up? So Tiger's play TONI first place on the line.
If they lose, they're in a first place tie. If
they win, they're two games up with five to play,
and it'd be very difficult to not win the division.
There's still a possibility they don't even get in, which

(35:49):
would be a disaster. But I've got something coming up
for you. And I know you're like, Josh, you're banging
on the sports station too much. But today's a very
sports y day. And I think we do sports better
than the sports station does, because I tell you, I
think when people ask, like what kind of show is this,
I think we do the rock guy talk thing better
than large gym, and I think we do sports better
than the sports guys. We have a more relatable approach

(36:12):
to doing sports, and I like that I don't need
to be bogged down with nerd stuff. They can do
nerd stuff. You guys can come over here and hang
out and talk about fun stuff. There was an opinion,
so somebody I know texted me on Sunday and said,
the dude on the ticket just said, maybe the dumbest
thing I've ever heard, maybe the worst Tiger's opinion ever. Well,

(36:38):
I have that opinion. I have the audio of that opinion,
and I will play that what is maybe the dumbest
sports opinion of all time, quite possibly the dumbest opinion ever,
And I will have that coming up for you. Put
a six point seven d Troit's wheels Josh in his show.

(37:01):
All right, So I understand that it ain't Christian to
judge strangers. I get that. I respect that. And some
people are texting saying, Josh, I don't know that it's
cool that you bang on these other radio stations, but look,
it's what I do. These are the ABC's of me.
Some people may like it, some people may not. And
I only do it when I feel that it's really necessary,

(37:25):
and it's mostly necessary when it's people giving opinions, and
the opinions are stupid, just really dumb opinions. And I
got a text from a buddy of mine, like Sunday night,
I'm sitting at home, drinking beer, watching football. I get
a text and he's like, you got to hear what
this numb nuts on the ticket had to say about
the Tigers. I'm like, all right, so I went and
looked it up because we have the capability of doing

(37:47):
these things, and I have the audio. Now, I also
want your feedback at on the text text the word
Josh and your message to five nine five seven zero.
Some people are put off by the fact that I
talk about other things, other things going on in other stations,
but it's like, look, if it's on my mind, I'm
going to talk about it. These are just things I do.
You know, this is how I operate. Some people like it,

(38:09):
some people don't, but this is how I operate. And
I think these guys on the sports station are just dreadful.
I think they provide nothing of interest for anybody. It's
just rage bait, constant rage bait. And I know this
because I worked in sports radio for fifteen years. That's

(38:29):
all sports radio is is rage bait. Even when things
are good, it's rage bait because being happy and in
a good mood is bad news and bad for business.
So you have to be angry. You have to take
a thirty eight to thirty beat down of the Ravens
and which you sacked Lamar Jackson seven times and had
six tackles for loss and forced Derek Henry to fumble
and throw a fit on the sideline, and where David

(38:50):
Montgomery ran for one hundred and fifty yards. There wasn't
a ton negative about that. I know that you can't
ignore in victory what you wouldn't in defeat. But Tuesday,
after a Monday night primetime beat down, I'll ignore the
negative for a while. But that's obviously not what they do.
But on Sunday, now, mind you, the same Giant series.
And yes, the Tigers have sucked for basically the second

(39:13):
half of the season, and yes they've seen their record
or their division lead go from fourteen or fifteen and
a half down to one. That sucks. I'm not defending it.
I'm not saying that's a good thing, because it's not.
But this opinion from the caller and then the follow
up agreement from the host is arguable. And you can
tell me anything. I'm right on this, the dumbest opinion

(39:34):
maybe ever.

Speaker 3 (39:35):
If we win the Cleveland series, I agree, I think
they I guess I'd like to see them in the
playoffs in that case, otherwise I think we need.

Speaker 1 (39:44):
To blow it up.

Speaker 3 (39:45):
I'm utterly over utterly over Riley Green in a strikeouts
And I hate to say it, but I'm kind of
tired of the Riley Green Porkelson brother brother best buddies.
I think you need to bring them up. We've got
a problem. If they don't get into the playoffs and
go deep, we have a big problem with this team.

Speaker 6 (40:05):
Just my opinion.

Speaker 1 (40:06):
What do you think? Eric? I totally agree with everything
you just said completely. So this gentleman says that the
Detroit Tigers, if they blow this division lead, should blow
up the franchise, and the dummy host is like one.
I agree. Look, I understand that I'm not born and
raised in Detroit and I haven't been here that long,

(40:28):
but I can also tell when someone else hasn't and
when you've got a guy like yeah, blow it up
for a franchise that hey, by the way, in my lifetime,
I'm thirty nine years old. You know how many times
the Tigers have made the playoffs in thirty nine years? Seven?
What if they had stretches of damn near twenty years
without making the playoffs And now you want to blow
up the team because they blew a division lead. You

(40:49):
are stupid? Am I saying? It's good that they blew
the division lead. No, if they missed the playoffs, will
it be devastating, Yes, But you want to tell me
that over the last two years, you don't think you
have a decent corps of guys and some other guys
coming in maybe spend some money, which I get as
a reach for them. But if they spend some money,
you don't think they can be competitive again. You just
want to blow it up. Hey, let's restart. We've gone

(41:09):
to the playoffs. One year, we won ninety something games.
This year, we clearly suck. Let's blow it up. That
is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. And that's coming
from a sports station where they are morons. They are
rage bait morons, and I think that's about as dumb
as anything I've ever heard. You're a Tigers fan, right,
you're sitting around today. You're a Tigers fan. It would

(41:31):
be heartbreaking if they blew this division lead. On If
they lose tonight, it is a gut punch. It is
a kick to the crotch, and I understand it and
I respect it. But we're not talking about the New
England Patriots here. The New York Yankees, we're talking about
the Tigers seven playoff appearances in my lifetime. Seven. They're
far more known for losing ninety five and one hundred

(41:53):
games than they are for making deep playoff runs. And
you have a team that can win ninety something games
back to back years, and we're like, nah, the breaks,
Let's blow this whole thing up and start over. That
is the dumbest. Now, if you think I'm wrong, you
can text text the word Josh and your message to
five nine five seven zero. Please text the word Josh
and your message to five nine five seven zero. That

(42:14):
is truly the dumbest take. If they don't make the playoffs,
blow it up. Great, So you waited ten years to
have decent baseball. You have a collapse. That sucks. Now
let's wait another ten years while we wait for a
bunch of hot prospects to do something that is moronic.
It is stupid. This city hasn't experienced a ton of
success in sports. Don't know if you knew that it hasn't.

(42:37):
But yeah, let's take a ninety win team blow it
up because they had a collapse. It's so stupid. These
people are morons. Josh in a show
