Speaker 1 (00:00):
Told you.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Look, I may not be the greatest gambler ever, but
I told you Lions were gonna kick ass. I told you, amen,
Ra was gonna kick ass. I told you everything that
was going to happen in that game. I don't know
how I knew. I just knew, but I told you
it was going to happen, and then it happened.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
How about that.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Awesome, awesome, awesome game. I was out tailgating before the
game over in the Eastern Market. The vibes were immaculate,
the weather was great. You knew, you knew that something
big was going to happen. Fifty two points later, something
big did happen.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
All right, So we have a.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
Lot the We got to audio of the fans saluting
Ben Johnson.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
That's got some people a little miffed. We'll do that.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
You'll hear from Ben Johnson. He got a little sassy,
got a little sassy after the game when he was
asked about whether or not he felt like the Lions
were running up the score.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
We got that.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
We got Dan Campbell. We are loaded. We are feeling
good today. Boy, Well, just a great day.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
To be in Detroit.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
All the doubt, all the yall can they do it
without Ben Johnson? All that for a whole week and
it was just let out on Sunday.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
What a day? Also, what do I have this week?
Do I have?

Speaker 2 (01:38):
Let's see what tickets I had to give away? It
was kind of in flux. I don't even have anything
in my book when here right on today, Oh I do,
Here we go. I have Adam Sandler tickets to give
away in the seven o'clock hour. The Your My Best
Friend Tours coming to LCA on October fourteenth, So in

Adam Sandler.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
How about that?

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Boy?

Speaker 1 (02:07):
What a day? What a day?

Speaker 2 (02:12):
I'm telling you, man, things are a lot better in
town when you wake up on a Monday and you've
got a lion's not just a victory, but a straight
up lions beat down.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
And that's what we had. Oh how sweet it was
and how sweet it is?

Speaker 2 (02:34):
Big show today and we're gonna kick it off. Get
your rocked and loaded. We have got slaughter on the
Motor City's wheels.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
Read truth. You look to.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
Free someone life until I want to see.

Speaker 4 (03:41):
What they say?

Speaker 3 (03:47):
Listens sloping ho blow the heel sounds cool in your name,

(04:25):
funny in the corner, the tap of my life. Thank
you want to side? What the jo.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
This is one of six point seven w LLZ Detroit Wheels.
Nice victory there, I say nice victory. It was a
thorough ass kicking.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
As they dominated the Bears fifty two to It was
a final fifty two to twenty one. I don't even
think it was that close. That's possible. I don't believe
the game was as close as the final score would indicate, just.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
A thorough beating.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
Now, the big talking point over the last week or
so has been obviously about Ben Johnson and the Lions
being terrible on offense in Week one against Green Bay.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
A lot of factors in there, but Ben Johnson.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
The talk all week was about how the Lions are
not the same team without their offensive coordinator Dan Campbell.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
Do you think that motivated the guys?

Speaker 5 (07:47):
I think we answered a lot of questions as it
pertains back to what you said.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
You know this, I've said this all along, man.

Speaker 5 (07:53):
This train keeps rolling, man, And we got plenty here
and it always is going to start with the players.
We got players, we got playmakers, and they're made the
right way they're the right kind of guys.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
Man.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
We'll get into a lot more from this game, including
the incendiary Ben Johnson chance in the stadium, and you'll
hear from Ben Johnson.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
We'll do all that throughout the morning.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
Baseball wise, I know it's been out of side, out
of mind, but while we've been paying attention to football
and kind of waiting for the baseball playoffs, the Tigers
lead in the division is now down to six and
a half games over Cleveland, and in the last twelve
games of the season, the Tigers play the guard Indians

(08:36):
six times. Three of those games happened this week. Series
starts tomorrow at Comerica Park. It's a little dicing, a
little too close for comfort, all right. Coming up, lots
still about the Lions game and the Michigan football dueves
winning for the coach.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
Come on, it's the Josh Ennis Show. Josh six point
seven WLZ Detroit.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
One oh six points seven. Detroit's wheels, how are you?
It's the Josh Eddis Show. Great day of football yesterday
until the night game. The night game sucked because JJ
McCarthy sucks. But other than that, epic games all day yesterday.
Although the Chiefs game wasn't really epic either. It was
actually a dreadful football because the Eagles are a fascinating

(09:30):
team because they keep winning despite the fact that their
quarterback also sucks. But they were able to meet the Chiefs.
The Chiefs are now zero to two. That's exciting, but
that's not the main story involving the Chiefs. The main
story involving the Chiefs is that the Travis Kelcey was
interviewed before the game and he wants everybody to know

(09:52):
that that he cried when he proposed to Taylor.

Speaker 4 (09:56):
The poems were definitely sweating. Really, I was definitely. I'm
an emotional so there were a few tiers here and there.
But it's been an exciting write up to this day
and I can't wait to spend the rest of my
life with him.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
Barf.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
I don't know if there is a group of people
who are less authentic than the Kelsey's. Oh, Like, is
there somebody that you just hate and you know it's
irrational and you know that it's like, you know what,
it ain't Christian to judge a stranger, but I just
hate this person. That is the entire Kelsey family for me,

(10:29):
from the two dufust brothers, to the annoying wife with
the podcast, to the mom that looks like Bruce Flange.
I hate them all. It's an irrational hate. I understand
that it's irrational, and I've been trying to do better.
I've been trying. I've been listening to Dion Sanders audio

(10:49):
book because it's motivational, and I'm trying to get my
mind right because we got ourselves quite a task here
trying to take WLLZ to the top. I'm trying to
have a pod, have attitude. But then I see the
Kelsey's and I just get angry. I don't know that
anybody in the world makes me as annoyed as the

(11:09):
Kelseys do, not Taylor Swift. Other than the fact that
Taylor Swift arrived to the game like behind some sort
of like shield or something yesterday.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
I don't know if that was real or not.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
My wife was showing me this that Taylor arrived at
the Chiefs game with like a rolling cover that blocked
her so people couldn't say, I don't know what that was.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
I don't know if that was real or not.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
If there's a goof I was drunk yesterday, so I
don't remember.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
But it seems like it. Either way, it was ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
AnyWho uh eight seven seven nine eight eight one oh
six seven eight seven seven nine eight eight one oh
six seven. That is the phone number you can text.
Text the word Josh and your message to five nine
to five seven zero. So if you weren't at the game,
you may not have heard this because it was a
chant that was going inside the stadium. But yesterday, as

(12:00):
were unraveling for the Bears Lions fans, let Ben Johnson
hear it, and it was something that could be heard

(12:23):
by the players and everybody involved. Because Jared Goff heard
it and was asked about it.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
Yeah, I like that.

Speaker 6 (12:30):
I thought that was he did a lot for us here,
and I don't know if he deserved that, you know.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
I have a thought on that.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
First of all, sports are fun. Sports are about rivalries.
Sports are about talking trash. Sports are about fans enjoying themselves.
Is yelling f Ben Johnson a little bit vulgar, sure,
but it's no more vulgar than any of the other
stuff you hear on TV, or on the internet or
in music anyway, So spare me. The virgineers. Oh, people

(13:00):
were saying the f word of the football game, who cares?
Last week, after the Lions got their asses kicked by
the Packers and the offense was anemic, the talking point
around all NFL circles, around media, across the country, fans, players, everybody.

(13:22):
The question was are the Lions the same team without
Ben Johnson? That was the question. The question was are
the Lions done? Was Jared Goff just a creation of
Ben Johnson? Can they win without Ben Johnson? And the
fans had to hear that all week, and the fans
had to hear about it on the radio shows, and

(13:42):
they had to hear about it on TV, and they
had to hear the players answer questions about whether or
not they are cooked without Ben Johnson. And then they
scored fifty two points and it was one of the
greatest offensive displays.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
Maybe in franchise history.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
Just a dominant offensive football game from start to finish.
And I know some people are gonna dump on the
fans for the f Ben Johnson chant. You heard Jared
Goff kind of admonish people saying, Hey, this guy did
a lot for us, Yes he did, but old Buddy
coaches the Bears now, and you guys just beat the

(14:21):
hell out of the Bears, and the fans were letting
off a little.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
Bit of steam, and I am okay with that.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
Is it a little crass, sure, little vulgar, sure, But
I'm with the fans on this one one. I am
one hundred percent on the side of the fans. Let
it loose, let out some steam. You spent a whole

(14:48):
week hearing about how your team sucks now and then
you beat up on the guy they said was a
god and you scored fifty two points without him. I'm
fine with the double birds to Ben Johnson. And in
ten fifteen years from now, when people celebrate these great
Lions teams, they'll celebrate Ben Johnson.

Speaker 1 (15:05):
But not today.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
F Ben Johnson eight seven seven nine eight eight one
oh six seven.

Speaker 1 (15:10):
But how do you feel about that? Do you think
it was crashing, inappropriate and petty in.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
Small time or are you like ed Rock Gode dude left.
We just hung fifty two on him. We're letting off
some steam. Eight seven seven nine eight eight one oh
six seven. I want to hear your thoughts on that.
Are you embarrassed? Like I saw some people on social media?
Oh this is embarrassing. Ah, screw the hat. It's fun,
it's football, it's sports. It's sports hate. If Ben Johnson's

(15:39):
car was stalled on the side of the road, I
guarantee if somebody here would help him chains the tire.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
But it's sports hate.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
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 coming up in sports,
sassy Ben Johnson, did the Lions run up the score
on old Boy? Well, what does Ben Johnson think you'll
hear from him? Coming up in sports? And Lions won yesterday? Big,

(16:07):
you saw that, you enjoyed that. It was very easy
to enjoy that because it's so sweet to beat the
hell out of anybody. But it's really sweet to beat
the hell out of your old offensive coordinator after everyone
told you you were cooked and that you were dead
and Bury couldn't win without Ben Johnson. Well, Ben Johnson
ain't gotta win yet, and he just gave up fifty
two points.

Speaker 7 (16:26):
Oh oh.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
By the way, Ben Johnson's teammate JJ McCarthy, who sucks,
looked like Tom Brady last week, just saying and obviously
things are not going well for Ben Johnson today. And
yesterday after getting bludgeoned by the Lions, there was a
back and forth between Ben and a reporter about whether

(16:48):
or not he felt that the Lions were running up
the score late in the game. When I'm and Ross
scored late, were they running up the score? Here's that exchange,
Cambo right it up on anyone.

Speaker 3 (17:01):
That fourth and four?

Speaker 1 (17:02):
What's he supposed to do is fourth and goal? What
do you want him to do?

Speaker 7 (17:05):
Yeah, he could have kicked the field goal. They don't
kick field goals, they go forward there, So he was.
He was doing what he's supposed to do.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
That's what he does.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
How moralizing is just lost considering you were coming back
he left for Chicago.

Speaker 7 (17:16):
And it's not demoralizing at all. It's not moralizing all.
We got to play better, simple as that.

Speaker 1 (17:21):
He's sassy. I enjoyed that little sassy response. What was
he supposed to do? Fourth and goal? What do you
want him to do?

Speaker 7 (17:28):
Yeah, he could have kicked the field goal. They don't
kick field goals, they go forward there, So he was.
He was doing what he's supposed to do.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
That's what he does.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
This feels like a disaster, doesn't it. And I don't
feel so bad about it because hey, we rooting for
the Bears. He ain't our coach anymore. Way room for
the Bears. He's sassy on that one. I enjoy his
sassy And the video makes it even better. The video's
even better because he's super like kind of has like
a sassy look on his face.

Speaker 1 (17:53):
Like, what was he supposed to do?

Speaker 2 (17:55):
Todd?

Speaker 1 (17:56):
What's he supposed to do? Is fourth and goal? What
do you want him to do? Yeah, he could the
field goal.

Speaker 7 (18:00):
They don't kick field goals, they go forward there, So
was he was doing what he's supposed to do.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
That's what he does. Why is the carpetal wet?

Speaker 5 (18:07):
Todd?

Speaker 1 (18:09):
I don't no Margo.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
So the Tigers, in a strange turn, the Tigers are
actually in a division race again.

Speaker 1 (18:20):
Now the odds have them blowing the lead are not good.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
But all of a sudden, they're only six and a
half up on Cleveland and they play the guard Indian
six times in the last twelve games, So you're not
totally puckered up yet, but you're you're clinching a little bit,
a little bit, but win two out of three in
this series that they start on Tuesday, and then then
it's over and you're.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
In good shape.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
Also, Sunday Night Football, last night Wolf. As it turns out,
JJ McCarthy still sucks. I know he had a good
fourth quarter against Ben Johnson, but as we saw, that
team blows. But last night JJ McCarthy was dreadful. The
Vikings did not score a touchdown in the game. You
got all these weapons, you got justin Jefferson, all these

(19:05):
old toys can't even move the ball up and down
the field against the Falcons. Actually, that game didn't even
have a touchdown until late in the fourth quarter. It
was one of those games and usually like you could
win a couple thousand dollars if you bet on an
NFL game to not have a touchdown, and it almost.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
Happened there, and that is sports come in.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
We have a lot to do. Still, Obviously Michigan won
because they played Central Michigan. I mean, anybody would win
if they played Central Michigan. But Michigan knows how to
make its own drama and then make its own rally
if that makes sense. Like you're laying in a bed
of drama that you created and then you turn it
into some sort of rallying deal, right, we'll talk about that.

(19:49):
And Charlie Kirk, you know that he was shot and
killed last week. Certain NFL teams did have a moment
of silence for Charlie Kirk before their games. The Lions,
we're not one of them, and should they have been.
We'll talk about that. We are loaded today, Baby.

Speaker 1 (20:06):
We're good to god. Why's the josh in a show
on wheels?

Speaker 8 (20:09):
Hello?

Speaker 2 (20:10):
If you want to get in eight seven seven nine
eight eight one oh six seven, that's the phone number.
You want to talk about the Lions, you want to
talk about anything that's on your mind. How did you
feel about the Lions fans chanting f Ben Johnson at
the game?

Speaker 1 (20:23):
I liked it. You know what. Everybody wants to clutch
their pearls.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
Oh my god, the flare and then sell classless. But
then like they show Eminem up on the screen and
everybody cheers, like, give me a break. Nothing against Eminem,
but like it's just funny how we pick and choose
what's offensive and what's not offensive.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
Some fans say the F word. We can't do that.

Speaker 3 (20:40):
I do this.

Speaker 2 (20:41):
Probably said the F ward and a billion other curse words.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
A million times. We give them a standing ovation shut up.

Speaker 2 (20:46):
I love Eminem. That's not a knock on Eminem, and
I'm not a prudent anyway. It's just pointing out. So
Biff Pogi is the the interim head coach for the Wolverines.
First of all, the name Biff rules. We need more
Biffs who are famous Biffs, like the who the Biff
the stage hand guy on The Letterman Show, or Biff Tannon.

Speaker 1 (21:11):
Of course, now Biff, don't con me.

Speaker 2 (21:14):
I mean to think about it, like Biff had George
McFly's car towed all the way home and all he
had for him is light beer. Biff was also a
sexual predator. But whatever, We're digging way too deep into
back to the future. Like you know, the fact that
Marty almost hooked up with his mom. It's almost an incest.

(21:35):
But but it doesn't matter. We are digging too deep
into back to the future.

Speaker 1 (21:38):
Right now. This is not about Biff Tannon. This is
about Biff Pogi.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
Now, as you know, Michigan likes to play the victim
as it relates to this cheating scandal, and then they
like to rally the troops around the fact that they
are an alleged victim in this cheating scandal. They are cheaters,
and they have been revealed as cheaters, yet they get
very upset and very emotional, kind of like when Sharon
Moore cried when he had to coach for Jim Harball,

(22:04):
Like sobbed on the sideline and you're like, dude, it's
not that big of a deal. You guys cheated. They
suspended the coach. Why are we crying? Well, on Saturday,
I was driving around and I was listening to the
Wolverines right and I was hearing the postgame show, and
that was the message about this. It was like, oh,
we won this one for the coach, And I'm like,

(22:24):
there's no way they won this one for the coach.

Speaker 1 (22:26):
They got to cheat or whatever.

Speaker 2 (22:27):
Well, Biff spoke to the media after the game, and
if you love the Wolverines, you'll love this. And if
you're Sparti or anyone else, you will laugh, vomit then laugh.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
Here's Biff. I want to say this. You know what
an odd day because today this day was.

Speaker 8 (22:48):
Actually heartbreaking for me, heartbreaking because you know, I have
children better Sharone's age.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
Do you think he's got a Biff junior. God, I
would name my kid Biff June here and.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
A little Biff's I called him a little biffle the receiver,
little Jordan Humphries, but I'll call him a little biff
with a like an aposture.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
They were attation last night, and.

Speaker 5 (23:14):
You know, you know.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
Just about how much he loves me and I love him.
And see Jesus, he's not dying. He's suspended for cheating.
This isn't that big of a deal.

Speaker 8 (23:26):
It was a really hard week in our building, really
hard and emotional.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
It was so emotional.

Speaker 2 (23:32):
Our coach isn't going to be there when we play
Central Michigan because.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
We cheated a couple of years ago. Oh, life is tough.

Speaker 8 (23:39):
And I think what people that care realized that football
is a game about relationships. And his players loved him
like you wouldn't believe. And what I would say today was,
you saw a love.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
Letter from a twenty young men to the football coach. Today.
It's a love letter, and I think that's outstanding.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
A love letter would have been if your coach was
suspended for an actual game against an actual team, and
you won, you got your asses kicked by Oklahoma, you
come home, you played Central Michigan. Oh, and now it's like, oh,
it's a love letter for the coach. Usually when that happens,
when it's like, hey, we're playing this one for the
coach type of deal, it's because like the coach lost
his leg in a skiing accident, or the coach's wife died,

(24:31):
or we found out that the coach has cancer. It's
not because the guy deleted some text messages that probably
revealed that he was cheating. You can't just make that up.
You can't just like conveniently say we're winning one for
the gipper. The gipper had cancer. The gipper didn't delete
text from a douchebag.

Speaker 7 (24:52):
Come on Mad Call the Josh Inness Show now at
eight seven seven nine one oh sixty.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
Seven one o six points.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
We are Detroit's wheels and I am Josh and Hello,
what's happening?

Speaker 7 (25:06):
So?

Speaker 2 (25:06):
I did not watch the Emmys last night because I
didn't even know the Emmys were happening, because award shows
are a waste of time. That said, I just read
that Riva McIntyre is engaged to a gentleman by the
name of Rex Lynn, and they got engaged at the Emmys,
or they confirm their engagement.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
At the Emmys.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
First off, this guy is not good looking enough for
Reba McIntyre. He's bald, he's got a scullet. Riba, you
are better. You are better than a guy with a scullet.
What you need is a young, virile, thirty nine year
old man with a curly head of hair is what
you need, Reba. I find Reba to be so hot,
and I don't know why. First of all, I enjoyed

(25:46):
Reva's crappy TV show called Reba. There's some shows that
shouldn't make you laugh, but that you just do, and
Riva is one of those. There's no reason I should
find that show to be funny, but I do. But
I think Riva is sexy. Is there anybody like that
for you? Like, tell me someone that you shouldn't think
is sexy? That when you tell your buddies you're like,

(26:08):
I think she's hot, and you're like, their buddies are like,
what the hell are you talking about?

Speaker 5 (26:11):
You?

Speaker 1 (26:11):
Jamoke? That's Riba for me? What is Reba like?

Speaker 2 (26:15):
Seventy now? I just think she's better than this rex
linb I don't like this guy. I think you're better
and I think you deserve better, Riba. But I think
Reva's smoking hot. Maybe it's the red hair.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
I don't know. Maybe it's the accent. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (26:34):
Here's what I need to know from you. Text me,
let's have a conversation. Let's be best of friends. Text
the word Josh in your message to five nine five
seven zero. The word is Josh. You have to text
that initially, So Josh in the same text as your
message to five nine five seven zero.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
Here's what I need to know from you guys this morning.

Speaker 2 (26:53):
And it goes for the ladies too, Like, I'm sure
there's some chick out there that thinks Dwight Yoakum's sexy
or something. Ah, that wasn't nice. Why is Dwight Yokum
catching strays this morning? He seems like a decent enough dude.
Why Why would I throw strays at Dwight Yoakum. Dwight
Yoakum is cowboy hat sexy. If you put him in

(27:14):
a cowboy hat and like denim and stuff. In the
early nineties, he was attractive. You take his hat off
and you're like, oh, he looks like a villain in
Die Hard. Same with like Tim McGraw. Tim McGraw is
not a handsome guy. I mean says decent. Look, he's
got horrible hair. You put him in a cowboy hat
and you're like, oh, Kenny Chesney the same thing. You
put him in a cowboy hat. He's decent looking. You

(27:35):
take him out of a cowboy hat, you're like, uh, okay, whatever.
So text the word Josh in your answer to five
nine five seven zero. Tell me someone that you find
attractive that all of your buddies are like, what the
hell are you talking about? That's Reva. I was just
reading this story about Reba getting engaged in this dufest
rex Lynn, who doesn't deserve a dying piece like Riva.

(27:57):
But whatever, I'm not jealous or nothing. Text the word
Josh and your answer to five nine five seven zero.
We do have Adam Sandler tickets that we are going
to give away in this hour, and I need to
know from people if if you're okay, if the Lions
dropped the ball on not having a Charlie Kirk moment
of silence, Yes, we'll get into that as well, but

(28:19):
right now we've got rock and roll, and that rock
and roll is from a rock and roll band called Journey,
a song from Cattie Shack. We are detroit'sight an iHeart
Radio station.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
Make us the number one preset on your.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
Car radio and on the free, new and improved iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 1 (28:38):
Listen for all your music radio en podcasts.

Speaker 8 (28:41):
Free never sounded so good the Josh inn Is Show
on one O six point seven WLLZ Detroit's wheels.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
So that's that was the chant at Ford Field yesterday
as the Lions disposed of the Bears. They just whipped
their ass. I guess the reports of their demise were
a little bit premature. Kind a text here. We were

(29:21):
talking about how Ben Johnson was received coming back, and look,
I'm all in favor. The fans want to go off
on the guy. Go You spent all last week hearing
about how crappy your team is.

Speaker 3 (29:32):
Now.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
Ben Johnson was the only reason that am Andra was good,
and the only reason why Jared Goff was good, and
the only reason why Dan Campbell won any games is
because of this guy. And of course Aaron Glenn, Oh Wolf,
best of luck to you with the Jets. Aaron Glenn,
that's gonna be a short stint. It looks like, holy cow,
you stink. Not your fault.

Speaker 1 (29:54):
They would have stunk anyway. You just happened to be
the guy there and.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
Then Ben Johnson wolf, you guys stink, two Texter says.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
And brings up a good point.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
I think the main reason why people go off and
feel comfortable ripping on Ben Johnson is because he went
inside the division.

Speaker 1 (30:11):
To the Bears. We hate the Bears, I.

Speaker 2 (30:13):
Agree to which this person also said if it were
Aaron Glenn coming to town, he'd get a standing ovation
one hundred percent agree. The team the guy coaches, matters,
the division matters, and no one's sitting here today like,
oh my god, the Lions defense isn't what it was
with Aaron Glenn. Man, Kelvin Sheppard, nfls you in.

Speaker 1 (30:34):
The house doing the damn thing.

Speaker 2 (30:36):
Good for them, man, it's nice to see great day,
weather was great, tailgating was great, great vibes, awesome stuff.
But I do ask you this question again at eight
seven seven nine eight eight one oh six seven eight
seven seven nine eight eight one oh sixty seven because
I've gotten some texts from people and they're saying it
was classless and the fact that the defans were chanting

(30:58):
the f for it is classless and it didn't reflect
well on the city and we look like trash.

Speaker 1 (31:04):
And I'm like, it's sports. It is sports.

Speaker 2 (31:07):
It is fun. Your kids hear worse stuff on their iPads.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
Who cares. It's fun, it's a good time. It's sports hate.
Nobody would kick Ben.

Speaker 2 (31:18):
Johnson in the crotch if they had the opportunity. Nobody
like if his house were on fire, somebody would run
in and try to rescue him and his cat. Nobody
hates Ben Johnson, but it's sports hate and it's legit.
And that's a team that's trying to win that division.
We don't want the Bears to be good. The Bear
sucking makes life a lot easier. You'll hear from Ben Johnson.

(31:41):
You're coming up in sports. Got a little sassy little Sassey.
In the postgame press conference, Dan Campbell, you hear from
him as well. Also in this hour, I did forget
to give away those Adam Sandler tickets. So if you
call eight seven seven nine eight eight one oh sixty
seven and you tell me the answer to this Adam

(32:03):
Sandler related question, if you can tell me what Adam
Sandler movie. He starred as the character Pip, who was
the drummer in a band that broke into a radio
station and held the DJ hostage until he played their song.

Speaker 3 (32:23):
What was that?

Speaker 1 (32:24):
Adam Sandler movie?

Speaker 2 (32:26):
Eight seven seven nine eight eight one oh sixty seven. Also,
the Lions were one of the NFL teams that did
not have a moment of silence for Charlie Kirk who
was assassinated last week.

Speaker 1 (32:39):
Murdered last week. We saw it on the internet. The
video is everywhere.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
We watched a snuff film on the internet last week.
Were they wrong in ignoring that or were they right?
We'll get your calls on that as well. Sports coming up,
but right now we have got Nirvana Little Rock. So
yesterday was a dominant performance from the Lions, the most

(33:06):
dominant performance of the day from any team.

Speaker 1 (33:08):
Fifty two points.

Speaker 2 (33:09):
All that talk, all that talk about how bad they
were without Ben Johnson and they have just let it
all out.

Speaker 5 (33:15):
Now.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
Did they run up the score.

Speaker 2 (33:17):
At the end of the game with that fourth down
near the goal line, about the five yard line through
the touchdown pass to Amen Rod. Did they run up
the score? Well, listen to this exchange with Ben Johnson
and a reporter. My man gets a little bit sassy
when asked about this.

Speaker 1 (33:35):
Cambell right up on any on that fourth and what's
he supposed to do is fourth and goal? What do
you want him to do?

Speaker 7 (33:41):
Yeah, he could have kicked the field goal. They don't
kick field goals, they go forward there. So he was
he was doing what he's supposed to do.

Speaker 1 (33:47):
That's what he does.

Speaker 2 (33:48):
Moralizing just lost, considering you were coming back, you went
for Chicago.

Speaker 7 (33:52):
And it's not demoralizing at all. It's not demoralizing at all.
We got to play better, as simple as.

Speaker 1 (33:56):
That, sassy.

Speaker 2 (34:00):
Was.

Speaker 1 (34:00):
He supposed to do.

Speaker 7 (34:04):
Well.

Speaker 1 (34:04):
Fifty two points an impressive outing.

Speaker 2 (34:07):
Now, we've talked all morning about how the world had
written off the lines. That's not a lie, that is
not made up, that is not hyperbole. People had written
this team off, people that said they can't win without
Ben Johnson. All that, right, Coach, do you think that
this helped motivate the guys at all? How do you
feel about that?

Speaker 3 (34:27):
Dan?

Speaker 5 (34:27):
I think we answered a lot of questions as it
pertains back to what you said. You know this, I've
said this all along, man. This train keeps rolling, man,
and we got plenty here and it always is going
to start with the players. We got players, we got playmakers,
and they're made the right way.

Speaker 1 (34:42):
They're the right kind of guys.

Speaker 4 (34:44):
Man.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
Hey, they looked like it yesterday. Now we played the
f Ben Johnson chance in the stadium.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
Johnson. Jared Goff has a response to that.

Speaker 6 (35:01):
Yeah, I thought that he did a lot for us here,
and I don't know if he deserved that.

Speaker 2 (35:07):
I beg to differ there, Jared. It's sports people are
gonna do that, and I am on their side. Man.
All week long, these people had to hear about how
it was over and their window was closing, and all
the sports radio guys were saying Dan Campbell can't do
it without this guy, this guy whatever. Well, what is
Dan Campbell doing. He's got a big victory. You know

(35:29):
what his two coordinators are doing getting their asses kicked.
The Jets got their asses kicked. Aaron Glenn is oh
and two. The Bears got their asses kicked. Ben Johnson
is ozho and two.

Speaker 1 (35:45):
So shove it. I love you, Jared Goff. I don't
mean that. I take back what I said. That was
not nice.

Speaker 2 (35:53):
But let the fans have their moment, little crass, that's fine.

Speaker 1 (35:57):
Let them have it. Also, the Tigers are.

Speaker 2 (36:01):
Only six and a half games up in the division,
just quietly this out of the blue. Oh, it's a
six and a half game lead with six games coming
up with Cleveland in the last twelve.

Speaker 1 (36:09):
Where did this lead go? It just keep doing they
keep doing this. Oh, we're up ten. Now it's.

Speaker 2 (36:16):
One oh six point seven. Detroit's wheels, Josh and to
show what's up.

Speaker 1 (36:21):
So the Lions were one of five teams I believe.

Speaker 2 (36:24):
I'm seeing different reports on this, Like some say five
NFL teams, some say more. But according to this, the
Lions were one of five NFL teams that didn't honor
Charlie Kirk before the game with a moment of silence.
Some did, like the Tennessee Titans had a picture of
Kirk on the jumbo tron. The Dolphins had a moment

(36:46):
of silence for Kirk and the victims of nine to eleven.
So we're celebrating that and that and a prayer for
unity in the country. The Jets also honored Kirk, as
did the Dallas Cowboys. New Orleans did the same. The
Chiefs had a moment of silence prior to the national anthem,
but with no specific purpose. The Arizona Cardinals did honor Kirk.

(37:07):
Some of the teams that didn't, the Indianapolis Colts, the
Baltimore Ravens, and the Detroit Lions.

Speaker 7 (37:14):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (37:14):
It's an interesting thing because and I don't want to
get super political onion.

Speaker 1 (37:17):
I'm not going to.

Speaker 2 (37:18):
I'm just looking at it from a thousand mile view here.
I don't know anything about the guy's beliefs other than
you know, he's a guy that was in line with Trump,
and he was one of Trump's big guys. And he
appeals Like I was asking a buddy of mine who
works in that type of radio, I'm like, what was
it about this guy that these people enjoyed? And like
he was the voice of the youth, like the of

(37:39):
the youth movement that helped get Trump elected?

Speaker 1 (37:41):
Is what I've been told. Okay, fine, I.

Speaker 2 (37:43):
Honestly God had heard of the guy, but I didn't
really know anything he did. Like it just that's not
my world. Doesn't mean the story is any less. Sad
guy gets gunned down at a little convention, not a
convention but more of, you know, a speaking engagement. He
gets gunned down. The video heinous, We all saw it,
But is it the obligation of the NFL or any

(38:06):
of the teams in the NFL to honor a guy
who and I know nothing about his overall politics. I mean,
has see one group of people that say he's a
bigot or whatever. I see another group of people that say,
is he wrote to this group?

Speaker 1 (38:18):
Fine?

Speaker 2 (38:19):
I honestly, God know very little about the guy. But
why is it an expectation that an NFL team should
have a moment of silence for a guy who represents
one particular political party? Does that make sense? Does it
make the assassination any less sad? It doesn't justify the
guy being assassinated.

Speaker 1 (38:37):
That is not what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (38:39):
So before libs of TikTok comes after me like that's
not what I'm indicating here, or that's not what I'm
intimating here, what I'm asking is why is it expected
that NFL teams are any sports teams for that matter,
should have a moment of silence for a guy that
was a political commentator. Now, the argument could be the
guy was assassinated for his beliefs and that is wrong,

(39:02):
and you'd be right, But why is it the expectation, Like,
why is it the expectation that the Lions should have
a moment of silence, or that the Jets and the
Chiefs or anybody should like if joy Bejar was shot tomorrow,
would there be a moment of silence? Would there be
an expectation if members of the view if something happened
to them, like, what would be the expectation. It is

(39:24):
a legitimate question that I have. I'm not trying to
fight with anybody. I just want to know your answer
at eight seven seven nine eight eight one oh sixty seven,
do you think the Lions were right or the Lions
were wrong in not having a moment of silence? And
some of the areas made sense, like you could see
where Nashville, Tennessee is going to have a moment of silence. Really,

(39:44):
one of the upsets in there, I would argue, is
that New York did it. And New York also did
it at the Yankees game too. Trump was at the
game a couple of nights ago, and the Yankee game
had a moment of silence. So New York's kind of
the upset and all of that, like Tennessee would make sense,
and New Orleans would make sense, and Dallas would make sense.
Miami like okay, whatever, But Baltimore and Detroit and Indianapolis.

(40:10):
I would have assumed Indianapolis would have been Indianapolis didn't,
So it's Baltimore and Detroit are two of the main
ones that didn't have a moment of silence.

Speaker 1 (40:19):
So I'm asking you this.

Speaker 2 (40:20):
You can text text the word joshing your message to
five nine five seven zero, or you can call eight
seven seven, nine eight eight one oh six seven.

Speaker 1 (40:28):
Are you okay with the.

Speaker 2 (40:29):
Lions not having a moment of silence or do you
think they were completely misguided and they really made a
giant mistake and you're almost offended by the fact that
there wasn't a moment of silence for Charlie Kirk at
the Lions game.

Speaker 1 (40:41):
That's the question.

Speaker 2 (40:43):
Eight seven seven nine eight eight one oh six seven
eight seven seven nine eight eight one oh six seven.
We'll get to your calls on that. I want to
hear from you. Were the Lions right or wrong in
ignoring the assassination.

Speaker 1 (40:55):
Of Charlie Kirk? That's the question.

Speaker 2 (40:57):
Give me an answer eight seven seven, nine eight eight
one o six seven.

Speaker 1 (41:02):
And I got more rock coming up.
