Speaker 1 (00:00):
Stayed awake to watch the Tigers. I feel bad for you.
We'll give you all the details on their second and
secutive loss in Sacramento. Sounds weird saying that their second
loss in Sacramento. We'll give you all the details on
that here in just a few minutes. In sports, Hey,
(00:22):
are you excited about the pending nuptials of Travis and Taylor?
Speaker 2 (00:29):
No?
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Okay, I didn't think so.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
It's funny because I love the audience that listens to rock,
classic rock or just rock in general, or like us
who are like not really a classic rock station, but
you know, because we're not, you know, playing a bunch
of elevator music and stuff. But we're not your true
blue classic rock station. We are, you know, a little
bit more teeth. We got a little more teeth about us.
(00:53):
You know, we're more Metallica than peaceful, easy feeling. But
I love the reactions when stories about Taylor, Swift and
Travis end up on rock radio station facebook pages because
full disclosure. Sometimes we post things on the radio station
Facebook deliberately.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Like if I'm out drinking.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
On a Friday, I'll post a picture saying hey, cheers,
have a great weekend. That's something we do on purpose,
or hey, don't forget about Grill's Gone Wild, which is
done on purpose. That's to promote that we're doing something.
Then sometimes we've got corporate digital overlords who just force
things onto our Facebook page thinking that those things will
(01:36):
get clicks, and usually those are the things that draw
the most iyre from our listeners. Okay, and you'll see
Taylor Swift stories pop up on the Wheels Facebook page
on occasion or other rock station Facebook pages, and the
(01:56):
comment sections are just wonderful, the same as when a
couple weeks ago, a Jimmy Kimmel's story ended up on
our Facebook page. If you thought the negativity that we
got on Facebook from the nude was something, you should
have seen how angry people were on the other side
of the spectrum when a Jimmy Kimmel's.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Story popped up Facebook. What a place.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Welcome into Wednesday, everybody. We kick off every show with
a show that kicks you right in the balls, a
song that gets you going, a song that makes your
blood pump. I mean, come on at six o'clock in
the morning. If you're up now, that means you've already
been up for a while if you're on your way
to work, you've already been up for a while and
you got a whole day ahead of you, and I
hope it's a good one, but I know at this
(02:46):
very moment, it doesn't feel like it's gonna be because
you're dragging ass. That's why I am here, your humble
DJ friend. To play is something that's like taking a
cold shower that just sends a jolt through you, like
it can assert one O six points seven Detroit's Wheels
Josh Schitni Show.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Looking at sports.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Tigers drop another one last night seven to six the
final and ten innings.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
It got off to a rocky start. Charlie Morton, who
might might not be in line.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
To be the second starter, probably not if we were
looking at the playoffs today. Who the hell gets the
ball for Game two? That is my biggest issue with
this team moving forward, is you're gonna be in the playoffs.
We know you're gonna be in the playoffs. Who's gonna
get the ball for a game two?
Speaker 3 (03:34):
After Terrek? Who's gonna do it?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Is it gonna be Casey Miiz? Is it gonna be
Charlie Morton? After last night, you would think not. Charlie
goes five, seven hits, five earned runs. He gave up
a three run homer in the first, but the Tigers
bounce back take the lead, only to lose the lead again.
(03:59):
Then we go to extras, Zach mckinstree with a two
out single in the top of the tenth to make
it six to five. Second pitch at the bottom of
the tenth, the A's tie it up.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Then eventually.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Darryl Herneze walks with the bases loaded and that was
all she rode. So will Vest gets the blown save
in that one, although it's not really fair, like I
know that that's the job.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
You have to go in and do.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
It, but it's that horrible situation where you inherit the
runner at second. So it's not a real appearance, just
a bad bottom of the tenth. After that single, there
was a walk, a sack bun to walk in a walk.
Not a very good bottom of the tenth. So that's
back to back losses in a minor league ballpark in
(04:49):
Sacramento after that great homestand you'd come out and stink
against the A's who are not terrible, but still you're
playing in a minor league ballpark playing great baseball. Will
Charlie Mooreton get the ball in one of these games,
in a playoff game, I don't know. I don't know
who it's going to be at this point. But yesterday
(05:10):
last night, while you were sleeping, it was a bad
night and aj Hinch kept it pretty short and sweet.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Frustrating night, and we didn't do anything to.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Win well and you didn't, So I guess it kind
of makes sense, all right. Nothing new on the Lions front.
We got college football starting tomorrow night Friday, Sparty. If
you have YouTube TV. We still don't know if you're
going to be able to see it. That is still
up in the air. They are still in a dispute,
(05:41):
but something has to be resolved by five o'clock this afternoon.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
We will keep you posted if anything changes.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Also tonight Tigers again, Late night Tigers ten oh five.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Casey Myes pitches today.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
He's probably your best candidate to be a number two
starter in the playoffs if things started today.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
That's who I give the ball to. So Josh to show.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Seven o'clock hour your shot at a grill an eight
hundred dollars grill and fifty bucks from Kroger.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
It's called Grill's Gone Wild.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
We'll have your shot in the seven o'clock how Oha
Josh in the show. So, speaking of that, if you
notice Freddy there didn't say of the world at the
end of we are the champions, but many of you,
including myself, thought he did. Why you might ask, well,
that is one of the great examples of something called
(06:32):
the Mandela effect. Now what is the Mandela effect? Well,
the Mandela effect, against its origins, the name comes from
discovering that many people felt that Nelsa or they believe
that Nelson Mandela died in prison in the nineteen eighties,
although he didn't.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
He didn't die, it believe until the two thousands.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
The Mandela effect is essentially a misremembering or thinking something
happened that didn't happen. So, for example, we are the
champions of the world happened in a lot of live
performances with Queen, but in the actual recording that airs
on this radio station at least once a day, there
(07:13):
is no of the world at the end of it,
but all of us remember there being of the world
at the end. That is called the Mandela effect. Something
you think you remember that did not happen. For example,
another what is the other example? Star Wars is another
good example. So at no point in the Empire strikes
(07:35):
back does Darth Vader say, Luke, I am your father.
But anytime someone quotes it, they say luke I am
your father, but he never actually says Luke, I am
your father. That's an example of the Mandela effect. Another
example is people everybody believes that there was a genie
(07:59):
movie in the ninth nineties starring Sindbad as a genie.
There was no movie starring Sindbad as a genie, but
everybody remembers there being a genie movie starring Sindbad.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Or jiff Peanut Butter.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
A lot of people call it Jiffy, like a lot
of people remember it as Jiffy, but it's not. It's
jiff peanut butter. And that's examples of the Mandela effect.
Or that the monopoly man had a monocle. Do you
believe do you.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Remember the monopoly guy having a monocle? Well, he didn't
have a monocle.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
See what I'm saying here. It's called a Mandela effect.
You think you remember something that didn't actually exist. And
one of the greatest examples of that is we are
the champions of the world. One of six point seven
Detroit's wheels. Josh in his show Hello, Travy and Tata,
they are They're engaged. This is big news. Now, this
(09:00):
is huge news. Look, I know you're excited about this.
If I know rock listeners, I know they care a
whole lot about what happens with the gesture to propose
to somebody.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Like I'm looking at some of the.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Pictures of these two getting engaged, and they seemed completely inauthentic,
Like in fam like my sister like there's a whole
thing with her husband. They like he planned and propose
to her, and like my step mom was out there
with a camera and then everybody showed up. I'm like,
who needs this? Why do people need this? You know
(09:32):
how I proposed to my wife. I came home one
day from work and this is the most radio guy thing.
She had already picked out a ring because I had
an endorsement with a pawn shop. So that was a
high end pawnshop, you know the kind that sell like
expensive bags and stuff. So I had an endorsement deal.
(09:55):
I spoke on to half of this pawnshop and for
that they gave me like a twenty thousand dollars ring
for like three grand or something. But she had already
picked out the ring. So I came home and I
just sat on the couch.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
And I was like, Hey, I guess we should get married. Huh.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
It was like I basically Rocky proposed to her.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
It wouldn't mind marrying me very much. That's basically what
I did.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
But Rocky was more romantic because he was at the zoo,
it was snowing, mister Tiger was watching me. I literally
sat on the couch and go.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Hey, I guess we should get married. It wouldn't mind
marrying me very much.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
But the problem is, like at that point we'd been
together for six or seven years. We were basically common law.
We were at a point where we knew everything about
each other. There's no romantic gesture that you could have.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
When you've been together for six or seven years.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Like if you proposed to someone after like a week,
you can be romantic a month a year. There's no
romance involved in it. When you've seen somebody poop, you
wouldn't mind marrying me. Once you've watched somebody poop, there's
no like, oh, here's a grand romantic gesture. When someone
uses the door with you the bathroom with the door open,
(11:12):
there's no romantic gesture. There's no Ay, I'm gonna like
go over to a romantic place and have a camera
set up and somebody's gonna take a picture and it's
gonna be so sweet.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
That doesn't exist. So it didn't. But I'm sure that
this proposal from Travis and Tata was super authentic.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Show seven WLZ detroud, Greetings, friends, what's going on?
Speaker 3 (11:38):
I'm Josh, Welcome in so again.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
The biggest story on the planet yesterday was that a
gangling pop star got engaged to a dufust football player.
How they've become the two biggest stars on the planet
is fascinating, but it's reality. It was such a big
story in fact, that one of the White House press reporters.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
And a press.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Briefing with Donald Trump broke the news to the president
task series question.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
But I have to tell you the biggest.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Pop culture news of the year.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Group.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
While we were in this cabinet meeting, Travis Kelcey and
Tyler Swoots are engaged in the world monster.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
Reactions are well, I wish him a lot of love. Yeah,
I think it's I think he said a great player.
I think he's a great guy, and I think that
she's a terrific person.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
So I wish him a lot of love. What are
we doing?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
I gotta find the video, But I think this was
the same person who they had video of from CBS
News who was waiting to do a live shot and
learn that Travis and Taylor were getting married or getting
engaged and just lost her mind. And I'm like, these
are the people that are reporting on like important things,
(13:05):
and they're getting super giddy over the engagement of a
doofy football player and a pop singer, to.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
The point that we are at.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
A White House press conference and it's like, Sir, I
know that there are some really big things to talk about,
you know, tear off and I'm sure you know Jimmy
Kimmel or Jimmy Fallon said something insulting about you on
Late Night or whatever, or maybe Colbert. But I know
they're huge pressing issues. You know, Cracker Barrels changing its
local back. We got really important things to get to.
(13:36):
But first things first, sir, series question, But I have
to tell you the biggest pop culture news of the year.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
For while We're in.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
This cabinet meeting Travis Kelcey and Taylor Splots are engaged
in the world.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
Monster reactions at well, I wish I'm a lot alone. Yeah,
I think it's I think he said a great player.
I think he's a great guy, and I think that
she's said horrific person.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
So I wish they have a lot, a lot of
The biggest shock in there is that that didn't become
a thing about how well.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
You know Taylor promised. You know, she's a nasty person.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
She probably doesn't like Trump, and that's okay, just a
nice little message like, hey, I hope you kids make it.
That's the biggest shock in then, Ah, she doesn't like Trump.
She probably voted for Kamela. Come a la AnyWho. We
got a lot to get to in this hour. Coming
up in just a few you'll have a chance to
score a grill and some cash to Kroger. That's Grill's
(14:30):
gone wild. We're gonna play a game called rotten approval rating,
speaking of the president rotten approval ratings. His approval rating
in August is forty percent. So we're gonna play a
game with that. It's a game I love to play.
We'll do that sports Tigers another l to the crappy
A's how did it all go down? We'll tell you
(14:51):
here momentarily in sports it's wheels that is John Mellencamp
or John Cougar Mellencamp or Johnny Couger or just that
a that always yells at his audience. Sports wise, Tigers
lose last night in ten and just to add insult
to injury, here's what it sounded like from A's lady
announcer and we.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Serious with da faith this weekend one and Tyler Soderstroulls recently.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Do its.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Good from Darrell her names and comes Tyler Soderstrowman. The
A's wins seven to six on the walk off walk.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Ladies can do stuff now.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
So seven to six was the final a walk off
walk from Will vest who walked three in the tenth
inning after a leadoff single that tied the game at six. Walk, sacrifice, bunt,
walk and walk. That's how things ended. Things didn't start
(15:50):
well either for the Tigers. Means that Charlie Morton, who
could be in the running for the number two starter spot,
maybe maybe not. They are a mess at the number
two spot after Trek Schooble. They are just gross in
that position.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
It is truly.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Look, and I'm not ripping on the Tigers, and they're
having a great year, but it is a miracle that
they are sitting in a top Major League baseball with
how mediocre the pitching staff is, particularly the starting pitching.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
It's bonkers.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Charlie Morton five innings, seven hits, five runs, all of
them earned. He gave up three in the first inning
to put the team behind the eight ball and uh
aj Hinch, let you know that, Uh well, a lot
of their ills were self inflicted.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
We created our own mess and we paid for it.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
So you can't make those kind of mistakes and expect
to win at this level.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
And some of them are on the scoreboard, some of
them aren't.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
So frustrating night and we didn't do anything to win tonight.
They try to salvage a game in this series. Ten
oh five again, ten oh five is the first pitch.
No one cares about Oakland A's baseball. Sorry, Sacramento as baseball,
Sorry Las Vegas as baseball, Sorry the A's. No one cares.
(17:11):
Start that they could play the game on the moon
and nobody would care start this game at seven o'clock
yard time, and you might say, well, Josh, that means
the game's got to start at like four o'clock in Sacramento.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Good.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
If you're a team that's not good enough or relevant
enough to even have a home city right now, schedule
around the cities that care. I'd like to watch the Tigers,
who are in the midst of a great season.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
I'm not gonna watch.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Them at ten oh five. I gotta get up at
four am. Hell, even if you have to get up
at six or seven am, ten oh five is stupid.
This city cares about sports. Sacramento, Oakland, Las Vegas.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Do not.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Play the game at four West and give us a
game at seven o'clock.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
That's all I ask.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Super Bowls for halftime have changed and not a shocking
development here, but Taylor Swift is now the odds on
favorite to play the halftime show.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Mind you, she does not need it.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
The NFL would benefit more from her playing halftime than
Taylor would benefit from playing halftime.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
She's the biggest star on the planet.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
She just set a record for the most concurrent viewers
on a podcast on YouTube, with one point three million
people watching that podcast with Travis and Jason last week,
and over twenty million people have already viewed that podcast video.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
But you might be.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Asking yourself who's the second and third favorite in this post.
Malone would be number two and Metallica at number three.
I'm gonna go out on the limb here and say
that there is a zero percent chance that Metallica plays halftime.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
I don't believe that Metallica.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
They are mainstream, like people know who Metallica is and
they play football stadiums and all that.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
So like I get that.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
At the station. Use See that's my dream. I have
big dreams, and one of those is to have just hair.
Bands like that are totally shot dead lead singers like
those type of bands play a halftime show like it's
a goof, Like why can't we do one like troll
halftime show like ladies and gentlemen. Enough's enough bang, like
(19:24):
what bang tango?
Speaker 3 (19:27):
See? That'd be fun. Just do it as a goof.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
As I've said before, you can go out here and
have Taylor Swift or Post Malone or Metallic though whatever.
I'd prefer it be a secret. I'm talking top secret.
I'm talking like nobody knows it's national security, there's no
they don't even do a sound check. No one knows
who it is, right, and then boom you're just hit
(19:51):
with with like Queen's Reich or something you know like
that would that would be my dream, the damn Yankees
get back together for halftime. Like I'm getting text messages here,
like I got a text from Tracy and Detroit that says, man,
what have led Zeppelin got back together? Like to me,
that would be the type of thing that would have
to happen for a rock act to get that. Or
(20:13):
Foo Fighters, Like I could see Foo Fighters doing it.
I think they're done with old guy rock bands. And
I think I just don't think Metallica has a mainstream
enough sound for the super Bowl. Now, your argument would be,
well does does the guys they throw on.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
There now to these rap guys or whatever. Sure, I get.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Your point, but the super Bowl and the NFL, they're
not building the halftime show real talk to appease old
white dudes. The NFL halftime show does not care about
you old white guys. I'm just letting you know, don't
shoot the messenger. I'm just letting you know, Oh you
(20:54):
mean Kendrick Lamar and his mumble rap as mainstream.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Look, I get your point, your point is.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Not in, but I assure you the NFL does not
want to deal with the blowback on social media of
having a bunch of old white dudes on stage. They
just don't, so that's probably not going to happen. This
text says, what if they just did an old school
halftime show and not a circus. Wouldn't that be something
if they just brought out like a marching band. I
(21:22):
just have a marching not even like a good one,
like a high school marching band, and just brought them
out there and they did songs from South Pacific and
then Metallica of course got a lot of texts Metallica
is not going to play the halftime show, and if
I'm wrong, I'll say I'm wrong, but they will not
be playing the halftime show like They're just the sound
(21:43):
is too heavy. They are too heavy to be playing
the halftime show. Even though you walk into a stadium
you'll hear ten Metallica songs in a hockey game or
at a football game. Metallica is not going to play halftime.
But currently right now the favorite is Tailor, especially after
she after Mother and father got engaged yesterday. This was
such a big deal that Tony Trevado, God love him,
(22:05):
sent out a company white email to let everyone know
that this happened. Usually a company white email goes out
if like, oh, World War three just happened, company white email,
Taylor and Travis are engaged. Anywhoo, if you want to
play rotten approval ratings and maybe take home an eight
(22:29):
hundred dollars grill and maybe take home fifty dollars to Kroger,
get in now, give me a call. We'll play rotten
approval ratings. Eight seven seven nine eight eight one oh
sixty seven.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
That is the number.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
It's Grill's gone wild and coming up. You know, I
love when dumb ass old people get scammed by fake celebrities.
I love you, but you shouldn't be allowed on the internet.
This one is a doozy and I'll have that coming
up for you next.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Now, the Josh Innes Show.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
This is the Josh Innes Show on one OHO six
point seven dollz, Detroit, Josh Ennis Show. All right, let's
play rotten approval ratings. We want to get somebody hooked
up with fifty bucks to Kroger and maybe an eight
hundred dollar grill thanks to Rinaldi Sausage.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
We love those folks.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
I had some Renaldi sausage over the weekend, the Italian,
the Hot Ones.
Speaker 5 (23:21):
I am.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Let's go to the phones here. Who's gonna play with us? Now?
It is Chris? Chris? How are you? How are you
very good?
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Would you like the opportunity to win an eight hundred
dollars grill and fifty bucks to Kroger?
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Sure? Why not? All right? I like the sound of that.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Now we're going to play a game, and the game
is called Rotten Approval ratings. It's actually a very simple concept.
I will give you the approval rating for the president,
and then I will tell you a movie.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
You have to tell me if that movie.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Has a higher or lower approval rating than the president
based on Rotten Tomatoes popcorn meter.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Does that sound doable? Okay?
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Joy?
Speaker 3 (24:00):
You think everything should be higher?
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Huh hey your words?
Speaker 3 (24:05):
All right?
Speaker 1 (24:05):
So, currently, for what it's worth, that number is forty percent.
Forty percent is the approval rating for Trump right now.
And for what it's worth, I would do this. I've
done this for ten years. It doesn't matter who the
president is. This isn't just a hey, rip on Trump
or whatever. Trump forty percent. That's his current approval rating
in August. So the popcorn meter on Rotten Tomatoes is
(24:26):
not critics. It is what real people think of the movie.
So it's like an approval rating.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
So if you get two out.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Of three, Chris, you're gonna get qualified for this badass
grill thanks to Rinaldi Sausage, and you'll take home fifty
bucks to Kroger.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Okay, okay, here we go.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
The first movie is Child's Play two, which is Chucky.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Have you ever seen Chucky? Oh yeah, Chucky?
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Yes, my husband's favorite movie.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Well, there you go, so you should know this Child's
Play two. Does it have a higher or lower rating
than Trump's forty percent? You're absolutely right, it's fifty three percent.

him up? Like the gang bangers?
Speaker 1 (26:47):
They go out, they kill his family, So he goes
out and gets vigilante justice. Yeah, well, the correct answer
is Death Wish three does have a.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Higher approval rating than Donald Trump. It's fifty three percent.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
So congratulations, Chris, You've won fifty dollars to Kroger and
you may just take home an eight hundred dollars grill
thanks to our friends at Rinaldi Sauces.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Yeah we did you sound excited? Oh yeah, yeah we did?
Speaker 1 (27:16):
All right? What radio station may have just turned you
into the best pitmaster in town?
Speaker 3 (27:22):
Is WLZ? Yeah it is. I wonder if Mojo's equipment
ever sucks. Here's the questions. I have boys wheels. Hello,
all right, let's get rocking.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Okay, next hour, I have to get to this story
about an old woman that was scammed by a quote
unquote celebrity. Old people need to stay off the internet,
particularly social media, so we got to get to that
next hour. Also next hour, I've got updated World Series
odds for the Tigers. Also next hour, YouTube TV and Fox.
(27:57):
Have they come to a deal yet, because there's a
chance you won't see the Michigan State game on Friday
or Ohio State on Saturday if a deal doesn't get
reached by later this afternoon. So we've got that and
a story from Local Fox where they went out to
the airport to talk to people about being too fat
to fly.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
We are loaded with stuff.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
The live part of it will be really good and
won't skip my problem.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Josh in this show one of six point seven WLZ
Detroit's aight three. Welcome in, everybody, Josh in a show
are We are locked and loaded for this hour.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
If you were wondering, if you're into such things, if
you want to bet on the Tigers to win the
World Series, they're current odds. They are plus seven point
fifty to win the World Series. So if you're into
gambling like I am, come on, man, you know me.
I'm a bit of a degenerate plus seven fifty.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
But and I say this with all due respect, and
I say with peace.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
And love that pitching staff ain't win a no World Series.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
You can come to me if you want. I'm not
trying to be I want them to win. I want
them to be.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
That pitching staff ain't good enough, that starting rotation is schooble,
and the Pips ain't happening. I mean back to back
losses to the A's. We'll give you the details on
last night's game that went down while you were sleeping.
We'll do that here in a few minutes in sports.
But plus seven fifty, the Dodgers are the favorite. At
(29:34):
plus four hundred the Fifer, the Phillies are still above
the Tigers, and the Phillies just lost their best pitcher
for the year. But plus seven fifty is the number
you're looking at now. But if you think about it,
here's why you should have hope. I mean, I mean,
the Dodgers are a very expensive team, obviously, right, Like
(29:55):
that's what they're known for. They may be playing poorly
up and down, but they're so loaded with talent. How
are they going to lose? But if you look at
the rest of these teams, you're like, do you really
believe the Milwaukee Brewers are going to win the World Series?
Do you believe the Blue Jays are going to win
the World Series? Do you believe the Padres are gonna
win the World Series? Or the Mariners? I don't so,
(30:17):
I mean, there's still a shot. I just don't believe
it's gonna happen. I don't believe that this team has
the pitching to do it. Starting pitching, particularly.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
My god, Charlie Morton.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
And they traded for Charlie Morton, all right, we'll get
into that in sports, and we got to get to
this gal. The details on how this gal got scammed
by a fake celebrity and how much money she sent
is mind blowing.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
We'll get into that in a few minutes.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
We'll do sports and we'll do that after the Beasties
on wheels. Yay, Jason Kelcey and the Chiefs or not
Jason Kelsey, Travis kel Father, as it were, speaking of
sports and football, Well, here's a little breaking news involving
(31:10):
the Lions. It's nothing that's overly impressive, nothing that's, you know,
gonna change the world potentially, but it may if you're
the Lions. It's not what you got, it's what you
give to the Jaguars. They're giving Tim Patrick to the
Jaguars to open up a spot for Isaac Tesla, our
little modern day cowboy, and hopefully love will find its
(31:34):
way into the end zone as often as it did
during the regulars. So are the preseason that'd be nice.
I am done making Tesla puns. They are lame and
they're no good. He's our little modern day cowboy, sign says,
Isaac Tesla is gonna.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Get more playing time that Cam Dues that's it.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
I'm done with the Tesla puns today. I wonder if
we have what you give in the system. That's a
good song anyway. So that's your Lions updates. Speaking of
the Lions, they are the most bet team to miss
the playoffs this year. According to one of the gambling sites,
the most people, or the team that has been bet
(32:23):
by the most people to.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
Miss the playoffs is the Lions. I don't believe that's
going to be the case.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
In fact, kiddos, I was on Fan Duel yesterday and
FanDuel had what they called Future's Day.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
What was Future's Day?
Speaker 1 (32:39):
A bunch of specials on betting on futures, like, Hey,
who's gonna win the Super Bowl? How many receiving yards
will this guy have? Which teams are going to win
the Division? And I built a Lions futures parlay and
I think it's a good one. I need to get
your thoughts on my parlay here momentarily, but I think
this is gonna hit and it gives me something to
be excited about during this season other than the fact
(33:01):
that it's football, other than the fact that the Lions
are good. I built this parlay and I want your
thoughts on it. This is my Lions parlay that I
built on FanDuel, who had this awesome thing yesterday with
the futures.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
Here's my parlay.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Tell me what you think Jared Goff to throw for
four thousand yards or over four thousand plus yard Jamison
Williams seven hundred and fifty receiving yards, a'm and raw
one thousand receiving yards, Sonic Jamier Gibbs one thousand rushing yards,
(33:35):
and the Lions to make the playoffs. That friends, has
a value of plus eight hundred and five, So that
means you bet one hundred bucks, you went eight oh five,
and then you get paid.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
Out nine oh five. Hot damn. We're taking it.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
To the window, baby, we're cashing you. Guys want to
tail that I did that on FanDuel. That is not
an official endorsement for FanDuel. I just really enjoyed the
fact that they had this cool deal yesterday with all
the futures bets. So I made some futures bets. I
think the Lions are going to make the playoffs. I
really got into taking team total over wins yesterday as well.
Speaker 3 (34:09):
FanDuel.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Good job by you, friends, Tigers lost last night seven
to six. Charlie Morton got off to a horrible start
and they never really rebounded. Seven hits, five urned runs,
three alout in the first. But then I should say,
I mean they made it interesting. They took the lead,
then gave the lead right back, game went to extra innings,
Tigers took the lead in extra innings.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
Then the extra innings.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Went poorly for will vest A single tithe the game
because the ghost runner scored from second, then a walk,
a sack, bunt, a walk, and a walk, and that's
a loss. Tonight they're back at it at ten oh
five because everybody wants to watch ten o'clock baseball live
from Sacramento. But my favorite stories are those of dummies
(34:51):
who get scammed by fake celebrities on the Internet. And
there are the kind of scams that I can understand,
Like it's very believable when you get an email that
said Chase Bank and that someone's hacked into your account
and call us immediately. I can see where you'd get
fooled by that. I cannot see where you'd get fooled
by a fake celebrity sliding into your DMS, But people do.
(35:16):
This is the story of a woman in Los Angeles
who was duped by a soap opera star quote unquote
that was in love with her.
Speaker 4 (35:23):
Vivian rub Lecaba wishes she knew sooner what her mother, Abigail,
was doing online and what Abigail was texting to the
scammer who sent her this.
Speaker 3 (35:35):
Hello, Abigail, I love you so much, darling. I had
to make this video to make you happy. My love.
Speaker 4 (35:40):
To General Hospital fans, this face and voice are instantly
recognizable as the likeness of Steve Burden. Burden has played
the leading role of Jason Morgan since nineteen ninety one,
and as a fan favorite, this is the real Burden
on set.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
She was a dead ranker for Britain and this is
a dead ringer for Burden. I hope this puts a
smile on your heart.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
Okay before we continue, So this woman on like Facebook Messenger.
Just to kind of give you a recap, this woman
is involved in an online relationship with someone she thinks
is the star of General Hospital. Now, in her defense,
she sees some pretty convincing videos. But against her defense
(36:29):
or against her, it's a guy claiming to be a
star of General freaking Hospital. Why would he be in
love with you?
Speaker 4 (36:39):
Tech experts we showed this video to believe it was
created with AI.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
No way, you guys consulted tech experts to find out
that this video of this guy allegedly being the star
of General Hospital was in fact not Wow. Congrats, and
you should always know that nothing will ever make me
hurt you or lie to you.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
My queen identical to him. So I understand why she
fell for him.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
I don't. I don't understand why you fell for it.
Why would you fall for someone claiming to be the
star of General Hospital being in love with you? See,
there's an arrogance that people who get scammed like you
have to have a certain level of arrogance to get
scammed by a fake celebrity, And the arrogance exists, and
that for some reason in your mind, you believe that
(37:29):
a guy who's the star of General Hospital would be
in love with you.
Speaker 4 (37:34):
After Abigail received similar videos in her Facebook dms in
October of last year, she thought the real.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
General Hospital star was in love with her. My christ, Lady, Like.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
There's a narcissism and arrogance that goes along with somebody
believing that the star of General Hospital just randomly reaches
out to you on Facebook, randomly sends you videos on Facebook,
and is in fact in love with you.
Speaker 4 (38:00):
This scammer moved the conversation over to WhatsApp, where he
told Abigail, I went to live the rest of my
life with you, Steve Burdon and Abigail Burden, sounds like
a dream come true.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Why would the Star of General Hospital say these things
to you?
Speaker 3 (38:16):
And you're my wife? Why so in her head there
was no scammer. She was talking to Steve Burton the.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
Entire time, because in her head it's nothing. There's a
mouse on a pinwheel. There's a mouse on a wheel
in her brain.
Speaker 3 (38:31):
That's so. Anyway, let me give you the long and
short here.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
You've heard the story here, Okay, this woman sent Steve
Burton of General Hospital eighty one thousand dollars in gift
cards first and Bitcoin. Why would like, let's just operate
in this strange universe where the Star of General Hospital
(38:55):
is in love with you and he meets you on
Facebook and he must have you and he wants to
run away with you. Why would the Star of General
Hospital need your money and why would he want it
in gift cards and bitcoin. But these people don't ask
these questions. They're just horny old gals. That's the problem
with this kind of goes back to one of my
favorite topics, which is women can be stupid too, Like
(39:17):
we act like men are the only ones who are
blinded by sex and like it can be easily duped.
Women can be morons too, because generally speaking, the people
getting scammed in these kind of stories are not dudes.
They are old gals, horny, old randy gals who have
convinced themselves that the star of General freakin Hospital is
in love with them. Also, this woman sold her house
(39:41):
for this guy and was on the verge of sending
him seventy thousand dollars before the daughter stopped her. So,
just if you're looking to kind of recap, this married
woman thinks she's in an online relationship with the star
of General Hospital, asks no questions about it, sends him
eighty one, three hundred and four dollars in gift cards
(40:03):
and bitcoin, then decides to sell her house for three
hundred and fifty thousand and is on the verge of
selling or giving him seventy thousand of them. Imagine you're
the wife of this chick, like, how do you feel
about yourself?
Speaker 3 (40:17):
Wow? So they're bankrupt now.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
And look, the moral of the story here is keep
your old folks off the internet. You guys think I
say this to be mean. It's a public service that
I'm providing for you. This is a public service. Keep
your old people off the internet. This woman is now
bankrupt because she was super horny on the Internet and
thought like doctor Noah Drake was in love with her.
Speaker 3 (40:40):
That's the problem. Friends.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
Now this is for Isaac Tesla, who's going to get
more playing time and score a lot of touchdowns.
Speaker 3 (40:49):
Damnit, See you later, Tim Patrick.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
Welcome to the team, Isaac Tesla. I hope what you
give is a lot of touchdowns. Put again, Ah, well,
if the season is any indicator that Isaac Tesla's going
to give us like thirty touchdowns, because that's all the
dude did. He had like ten catches or whatever it
was in the preseason or fourteen catches. I ever got
the number, like one hundred and forty receiving yards and
like three or four touchdowns. So he's going to be
(41:14):
featured a lot more and that's exciting, which means I'll
play more Tesla, which is more exciting speaking of eighties
and nineties kind of hair type of bands, although I
don't know that i'd include Tesla and the hair, like
they had the hair, but like nobody really associates Tesla
with hair bands, Like nobody looks at Tesla and goes, oh,
they're like Motley Crue or Poison, but they just had
long hair. But anyway, we were talking about the Super
(41:36):
Bowl halftime show earlier and how the odds on favorite
is now Taylor Swift now that she, you know, the
mother and father are getting married, and the thought is
that she'll play the halftime show this year, and she
is the odds on favorite, currently followed by post Malone
and followed by a Metallica. And then we talked about
what would be the greatest kind of troll halftime show?
Speaker 3 (41:54):
You don't tell anybody what's going to happen. And then
on the day of the.
Speaker 1 (41:57):
Curtain raises and it is blank who would be the
greatest troll halftime show? And I think this one's strong,
by the way, So I got a text here that says, Josh,
what if it was Zebra and docin how good would
that be? Months of build up. You don't know who
it is. Everyone thinks it's gonna be Taylor Swift. She
never says anything, so you probably think it's gonna be
(42:19):
Taylor Swift. And it's not a big pyrotechnic or anything.
There's a big stage curtain drops, the announcer goes. Ladies
and Gentlemen. The Pepsi Halftime Show, Zebra and Docin. That
would rule Tell me, that wouldn't rule, God, that'd be
(42:42):
so good. You find like the most washed up hair
metal band you can find, just like we're talking like
enough's enough. We're talking like bands that never really made it,
had like one marginal hit. We're talking about like we're
talking like just ultimate hair metal eighties, like washed up
voices are shot, no original members. Firehouse, I don't want
(43:05):
that's unfair. That's a stray on Firehouse. I really like
Firehouse actually, But the idea of Docin may be the
best one because I think they still, like I think
Don Dawcin is still in Dockin.
Speaker 3 (43:15):
If not, it's not Docin. How can you be rocking
with Docin? If Don Dawkin is not in Dowcin.
Speaker 1 (43:20):
Ladies and Gentlemen, The Pepsi Halftime show Docin, or they'd
actually have to start it with like you are rocking
with Docin.
Speaker 3 (43:36):
Oh boy, what if it was Jackal?
Speaker 1 (43:39):
Oh that'd be great, boy, and like they like, now
I've tickled myself.
Speaker 3 (43:46):
But the idea of the Jackal would be so good.
Ladies and gentlemen. No, but they'd have to start it
Speaker 1 (43:52):
Like this, Ladies and gentlemen, rock me, roll me and
jackle me off, call the Josh
Stayed awake to watch the Tigers. I feel bad for you.
We'll give you all the details on their second and
secutive loss in Sacramento. Sounds weird saying that their second
loss in Sacramento. We'll give you all the details on
that here in just a few minutes. In sports, Hey,
(00:22):
are you excited about the pending nuptials of Travis and Taylor?
Speaker 2 (00:29):
No?
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Okay, I didn't think so.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
It's funny because I love the audience that listens to rock,
classic rock or just rock in general, or like us
who are like not really a classic rock station, but
you know, because we're not, you know, playing a bunch
of elevator music and stuff. But we're not your true
blue classic rock station. We are, you know, a little
bit more teeth. We got a little more teeth about us.
(00:53):
You know, we're more Metallica than peaceful, easy feeling. But
I love the reactions when stories about Taylor, Swift and
Travis end up on rock radio station facebook pages because
full disclosure. Sometimes we post things on the radio station
Facebook deliberately.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Like if I'm out drinking.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
On a Friday, I'll post a picture saying hey, cheers,
have a great weekend. That's something we do on purpose,
or hey, don't forget about Grill's Gone Wild, which is
done on purpose. That's to promote that we're doing something.
Then sometimes we've got corporate digital overlords who just force
things onto our Facebook page thinking that those things will
(01:36):
get clicks, and usually those are the things that draw
the most iyre from our listeners. Okay, and you'll see
Taylor Swift stories pop up on the Wheels Facebook page
on occasion or other rock station Facebook pages, and the
(01:56):
comment sections are just wonderful, the same as when a
couple weeks ago, a Jimmy Kimmel's story ended up on
our Facebook page. If you thought the negativity that we
got on Facebook from the nude was something, you should
have seen how angry people were on the other side
of the spectrum when a Jimmy Kimmel's.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Story popped up Facebook. What a place.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Welcome into Wednesday, everybody. We kick off every show with
a show that kicks you right in the balls, a
song that gets you going, a song that makes your
blood pump. I mean, come on at six o'clock in
the morning. If you're up now, that means you've already
been up for a while if you're on your way
to work, you've already been up for a while and
you got a whole day ahead of you, and I
hope it's a good one, but I know at this
(02:46):
very moment, it doesn't feel like it's gonna be because
you're dragging ass. That's why I am here, your humble
DJ friend. To play is something that's like taking a
cold shower that just sends a jolt through you, like
it can assert one O six points seven Detroit's Wheels
Josh Schitni Show.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Looking at sports.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Tigers drop another one last night seven to six the
final and ten innings.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
It got off to a rocky start. Charlie Morton, who
might might not be in line.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
To be the second starter, probably not if we were
looking at the playoffs today. Who the hell gets the
ball for Game two? That is my biggest issue with
this team moving forward, is you're gonna be in the playoffs.
We know you're gonna be in the playoffs. Who's gonna
get the ball for a game two?
Speaker 3 (03:34):
After Terrek? Who's gonna do it?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Is it gonna be Casey Miiz? Is it gonna be
Charlie Morton? After last night, you would think not. Charlie
goes five, seven hits, five earned runs. He gave up
a three run homer in the first, but the Tigers
bounce back take the lead, only to lose the lead again.
(03:59):
Then we go to extras, Zach mckinstree with a two
out single in the top of the tenth to make
it six to five. Second pitch at the bottom of
the tenth, the A's tie it up.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Then eventually.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Darryl Herneze walks with the bases loaded and that was
all she rode. So will Vest gets the blown save
in that one, although it's not really fair, like I
know that that's the job.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
You have to go in and do.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
It, but it's that horrible situation where you inherit the
runner at second. So it's not a real appearance, just
a bad bottom of the tenth. After that single, there
was a walk, a sack bun to walk in a walk.
Not a very good bottom of the tenth. So that's
back to back losses in a minor league ballpark in
(04:49):
Sacramento after that great homestand you'd come out and stink
against the A's who are not terrible, but still you're
playing in a minor league ballpark playing great baseball. Will
Charlie Mooreton get the ball in one of these games,
in a playoff game, I don't know. I don't know
who it's going to be at this point. But yesterday
(05:10):
last night, while you were sleeping, it was a bad
night and aj Hinch kept it pretty short and sweet.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Frustrating night, and we didn't do anything to.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Win well and you didn't, So I guess it kind
of makes sense, all right. Nothing new on the Lions front.
We got college football starting tomorrow night Friday, Sparty. If
you have YouTube TV. We still don't know if you're
going to be able to see it. That is still
up in the air. They are still in a dispute,
(05:41):
but something has to be resolved by five o'clock this afternoon.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
We will keep you posted if anything changes.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Also tonight Tigers again, Late night Tigers ten oh five.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Casey Myes pitches today.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
He's probably your best candidate to be a number two
starter in the playoffs if things started today.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
That's who I give the ball to. So Josh to show.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Seven o'clock hour your shot at a grill an eight
hundred dollars grill and fifty bucks from Kroger.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
It's called Grill's Gone Wild.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
We'll have your shot in the seven o'clock how Oha
Josh in the show. So, speaking of that, if you
notice Freddy there didn't say of the world at the
end of we are the champions, but many of you,
including myself, thought he did. Why you might ask, well,
that is one of the great examples of something called
(06:32):
the Mandela effect. Now what is the Mandela effect? Well,
the Mandela effect, against its origins, the name comes from
discovering that many people felt that Nelsa or they believe
that Nelson Mandela died in prison in the nineteen eighties,
although he didn't.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
He didn't die, it believe until the two thousands.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
The Mandela effect is essentially a misremembering or thinking something
happened that didn't happen. So, for example, we are the
champions of the world happened in a lot of live
performances with Queen, but in the actual recording that airs
on this radio station at least once a day, there
(07:13):
is no of the world at the end of it,
but all of us remember there being of the world
at the end. That is called the Mandela effect. Something
you think you remember that did not happen. For example,
another what is the other example? Star Wars is another
good example. So at no point in the Empire strikes
(07:35):
back does Darth Vader say, Luke, I am your father.
But anytime someone quotes it, they say luke I am
your father, but he never actually says Luke, I am
your father. That's an example of the Mandela effect. Another
example is people everybody believes that there was a genie
(07:59):
movie in the ninth nineties starring Sindbad as a genie.
There was no movie starring Sindbad as a genie, but
everybody remembers there being a genie movie starring Sindbad.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Or jiff Peanut Butter.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
A lot of people call it Jiffy, like a lot
of people remember it as Jiffy, but it's not. It's
jiff peanut butter. And that's examples of the Mandela effect.
Or that the monopoly man had a monocle. Do you
believe do you.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Remember the monopoly guy having a monocle? Well, he didn't
have a monocle.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
See what I'm saying here. It's called a Mandela effect.
You think you remember something that didn't actually exist. And
one of the greatest examples of that is we are
the champions of the world. One of six point seven
Detroit's wheels. Josh in his show Hello, Travy and Tata,
they are They're engaged. This is big news. Now, this
(09:00):
is huge news. Look, I know you're excited about this.
If I know rock listeners, I know they care a
whole lot about what happens with the gesture to propose
to somebody.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Like I'm looking at some of the.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Pictures of these two getting engaged, and they seemed completely inauthentic,
Like in fam like my sister like there's a whole
thing with her husband. They like he planned and propose
to her, and like my step mom was out there
with a camera and then everybody showed up. I'm like,
who needs this? Why do people need this? You know
(09:32):
how I proposed to my wife. I came home one
day from work and this is the most radio guy thing.
She had already picked out a ring because I had
an endorsement with a pawn shop. So that was a
high end pawnshop, you know the kind that sell like
expensive bags and stuff. So I had an endorsement deal.
(09:55):
I spoke on to half of this pawnshop and for
that they gave me like a twenty thousand dollars ring
for like three grand or something. But she had already
picked out the ring. So I came home and I
just sat on the couch.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
And I was like, Hey, I guess we should get married. Huh.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
It was like I basically Rocky proposed to her.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
It wouldn't mind marrying me very much. That's basically what
I did.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
But Rocky was more romantic because he was at the zoo,
it was snowing, mister Tiger was watching me. I literally
sat on the couch and go.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Hey, I guess we should get married. It wouldn't mind
marrying me very much.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
But the problem is, like at that point we'd been
together for six or seven years. We were basically common law.
We were at a point where we knew everything about
each other. There's no romantic gesture that you could have.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
When you've been together for six or seven years.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Like if you proposed to someone after like a week,
you can be romantic a month a year. There's no
romance involved in it. When you've seen somebody poop, you
wouldn't mind marrying me. Once you've watched somebody poop, there's
no like, oh, here's a grand romantic gesture. When someone
uses the door with you the bathroom with the door open,
(11:12):
there's no romantic gesture. There's no Ay, I'm gonna like
go over to a romantic place and have a camera
set up and somebody's gonna take a picture and it's
gonna be so sweet.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
That doesn't exist. So it didn't. But I'm sure that
this proposal from Travis and Tata was super authentic.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Show seven WLZ detroud, Greetings, friends, what's going on?
Speaker 3 (11:38):
I'm Josh, Welcome in so again.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
The biggest story on the planet yesterday was that a
gangling pop star got engaged to a dufust football player.
How they've become the two biggest stars on the planet
is fascinating, but it's reality. It was such a big
story in fact, that one of the White House press reporters.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
And a press.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Briefing with Donald Trump broke the news to the president
task series question.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
But I have to tell you the biggest.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Pop culture news of the year.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Group.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
While we were in this cabinet meeting, Travis Kelcey and
Tyler Swoots are engaged in the world monster.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
Reactions are well, I wish him a lot of love. Yeah,
I think it's I think he said a great player.
I think he's a great guy, and I think that
she's a terrific person.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
So I wish him a lot of love. What are
we doing?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
I gotta find the video, But I think this was
the same person who they had video of from CBS
News who was waiting to do a live shot and
learn that Travis and Taylor were getting married or getting
engaged and just lost her mind. And I'm like, these
are the people that are reporting on like important things,
(13:05):
and they're getting super giddy over the engagement of a
doofy football player and a pop singer, to.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
The point that we are at.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
A White House press conference and it's like, Sir, I
know that there are some really big things to talk about,
you know, tear off and I'm sure you know Jimmy
Kimmel or Jimmy Fallon said something insulting about you on
Late Night or whatever, or maybe Colbert. But I know
they're huge pressing issues. You know, Cracker Barrels changing its
local back. We got really important things to get to.
(13:36):
But first things first, sir, series question, But I have
to tell you the biggest pop culture news of the year.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
For while We're in.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
This cabinet meeting Travis Kelcey and Taylor Splots are engaged
in the world.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
Monster reactions at well, I wish I'm a lot alone. Yeah,
I think it's I think he said a great player.
I think he's a great guy, and I think that
she's said horrific person.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
So I wish they have a lot, a lot of
The biggest shock in there is that that didn't become
a thing about how well.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
You know Taylor promised. You know, she's a nasty person.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
She probably doesn't like Trump, and that's okay, just a
nice little message like, hey, I hope you kids make it.
That's the biggest shock in then, Ah, she doesn't like Trump.
She probably voted for Kamela. Come a la AnyWho. We
got a lot to get to in this hour. Coming
up in just a few you'll have a chance to
score a grill and some cash to Kroger. That's Grill's
(14:30):
gone wild. We're gonna play a game called rotten approval rating,
speaking of the president rotten approval ratings. His approval rating
in August is forty percent. So we're gonna play a
game with that. It's a game I love to play.
We'll do that sports Tigers another l to the crappy
A's how did it all go down? We'll tell you
(14:51):
here momentarily in sports it's wheels that is John Mellencamp
or John Cougar Mellencamp or Johnny Couger or just that
a that always yells at his audience. Sports wise, Tigers
lose last night in ten and just to add insult
to injury, here's what it sounded like from A's lady
announcer and we.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Serious with da faith this weekend one and Tyler Soderstroulls recently.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Do its.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Good from Darrell her names and comes Tyler Soderstrowman. The
A's wins seven to six on the walk off walk.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Ladies can do stuff now.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
So seven to six was the final a walk off
walk from Will vest who walked three in the tenth
inning after a leadoff single that tied the game at six. Walk, sacrifice, bunt,
walk and walk. That's how things ended. Things didn't start
(15:50):
well either for the Tigers. Means that Charlie Morton, who
could be in the running for the number two starter spot,
maybe maybe not. They are a mess at the number
two spot after Trek Schooble. They are just gross in
that position.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
It is truly.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Look, and I'm not ripping on the Tigers, and they're
having a great year, but it is a miracle that
they are sitting in a top Major League baseball with
how mediocre the pitching staff is, particularly the starting pitching.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
It's bonkers.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Charlie Morton five innings, seven hits, five runs, all of
them earned. He gave up three in the first inning
to put the team behind the eight ball and uh
aj Hinch, let you know that, Uh well, a lot
of their ills were self inflicted.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
We created our own mess and we paid for it.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
So you can't make those kind of mistakes and expect
to win at this level.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
And some of them are on the scoreboard, some of
them aren't.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
So frustrating night and we didn't do anything to win tonight.
They try to salvage a game in this series. Ten
oh five again, ten oh five is the first pitch.
No one cares about Oakland A's baseball. Sorry, Sacramento as baseball,
Sorry Las Vegas as baseball, Sorry the A's. No one cares.
(17:11):
Start that they could play the game on the moon
and nobody would care start this game at seven o'clock
yard time, and you might say, well, Josh, that means
the game's got to start at like four o'clock in Sacramento.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Good.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
If you're a team that's not good enough or relevant
enough to even have a home city right now, schedule
around the cities that care. I'd like to watch the Tigers,
who are in the midst of a great season.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
I'm not gonna watch.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Them at ten oh five. I gotta get up at
four am. Hell, even if you have to get up
at six or seven am, ten oh five is stupid.
This city cares about sports. Sacramento, Oakland, Las Vegas.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Do not.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Play the game at four West and give us a
game at seven o'clock.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
That's all I ask.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Super Bowls for halftime have changed and not a shocking
development here, but Taylor Swift is now the odds on
favorite to play the halftime show.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Mind you, she does not need it.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
The NFL would benefit more from her playing halftime than
Taylor would benefit from playing halftime.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
She's the biggest star on the planet.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
She just set a record for the most concurrent viewers
on a podcast on YouTube, with one point three million
people watching that podcast with Travis and Jason last week,
and over twenty million people have already viewed that podcast video.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
But you might be.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Asking yourself who's the second and third favorite in this post.
Malone would be number two and Metallica at number three.
I'm gonna go out on the limb here and say
that there is a zero percent chance that Metallica plays halftime.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
I don't believe that Metallica.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
They are mainstream, like people know who Metallica is and
they play football stadiums and all that.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
So like I get that.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
At the station. Use See that's my dream. I have
big dreams, and one of those is to have just hair.
Bands like that are totally shot dead lead singers like
those type of bands play a halftime show like it's
a goof, Like why can't we do one like troll
halftime show like ladies and gentlemen. Enough's enough bang, like
(19:24):
what bang tango?
Speaker 3 (19:27):
See? That'd be fun. Just do it as a goof.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
As I've said before, you can go out here and
have Taylor Swift or Post Malone or Metallic though whatever.
I'd prefer it be a secret. I'm talking top secret.
I'm talking like nobody knows it's national security, there's no
they don't even do a sound check. No one knows
who it is, right, and then boom you're just hit
(19:51):
with with like Queen's Reich or something you know like
that would that would be my dream, the damn Yankees
get back together for halftime. Like I'm getting text messages here,
like I got a text from Tracy and Detroit that says, man,
what have led Zeppelin got back together? Like to me,
that would be the type of thing that would have
to happen for a rock act to get that. Or
(20:13):
Foo Fighters, Like I could see Foo Fighters doing it.
I think they're done with old guy rock bands. And
I think I just don't think Metallica has a mainstream
enough sound for the super Bowl. Now, your argument would be,
well does does the guys they throw on.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
There now to these rap guys or whatever. Sure, I get.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Your point, but the super Bowl and the NFL, they're
not building the halftime show real talk to appease old
white dudes. The NFL halftime show does not care about
you old white guys. I'm just letting you know, don't
shoot the messenger. I'm just letting you know, Oh you
(20:54):
mean Kendrick Lamar and his mumble rap as mainstream.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Look, I get your point, your point is.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Not in, but I assure you the NFL does not
want to deal with the blowback on social media of
having a bunch of old white dudes on stage. They
just don't, so that's probably not going to happen. This
text says, what if they just did an old school
halftime show and not a circus. Wouldn't that be something
if they just brought out like a marching band. I
(21:22):
just have a marching not even like a good one,
like a high school marching band, and just brought them
out there and they did songs from South Pacific and
then Metallica of course got a lot of texts Metallica
is not going to play the halftime show, and if
I'm wrong, I'll say I'm wrong, but they will not
be playing the halftime show like They're just the sound
(21:43):
is too heavy. They are too heavy to be playing
the halftime show. Even though you walk into a stadium
you'll hear ten Metallica songs in a hockey game or
at a football game. Metallica is not going to play halftime.
But currently right now the favorite is Tailor, especially after
she after Mother and father got engaged yesterday. This was
such a big deal that Tony Trevado, God love him,
(22:05):
sent out a company white email to let everyone know
that this happened. Usually a company white email goes out
if like, oh, World War three just happened, company white email,
Taylor and Travis are engaged. Anywhoo, if you want to
play rotten approval ratings and maybe take home an eight
(22:29):
hundred dollars grill and maybe take home fifty dollars to Kroger,
get in now, give me a call. We'll play rotten
approval ratings. Eight seven seven nine eight eight one oh
sixty seven.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
That is the number.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
It's Grill's gone wild and coming up. You know, I
love when dumb ass old people get scammed by fake celebrities.
I love you, but you shouldn't be allowed on the internet.
This one is a doozy and I'll have that coming
up for you next.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Now, the Josh Innes Show.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
This is the Josh Innes Show on one OHO six
point seven dollz, Detroit, Josh Ennis Show. All right, let's
play rotten approval ratings. We want to get somebody hooked
up with fifty bucks to Kroger and maybe an eight
hundred dollar grill thanks to Rinaldi Sausage.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
We love those folks.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
I had some Renaldi sausage over the weekend, the Italian,
the Hot Ones.
Speaker 5 (23:21):
I am.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Let's go to the phones here. Who's gonna play with us? Now?
It is Chris? Chris? How are you? How are you
very good?
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Would you like the opportunity to win an eight hundred
dollars grill and fifty bucks to Kroger?
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Sure? Why not? All right? I like the sound of that.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Now we're going to play a game, and the game
is called Rotten Approval ratings. It's actually a very simple concept.
I will give you the approval rating for the president,
and then I will tell you a movie.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
You have to tell me if that movie.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Has a higher or lower approval rating than the president
based on Rotten Tomatoes popcorn meter.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Does that sound doable? Okay?
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Joy?
Speaker 3 (24:00):
You think everything should be higher?
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Huh hey your words?
Speaker 3 (24:05):
All right?
Speaker 1 (24:05):
So, currently, for what it's worth, that number is forty percent.
Forty percent is the approval rating for Trump right now.
And for what it's worth, I would do this. I've
done this for ten years. It doesn't matter who the
president is. This isn't just a hey, rip on Trump
or whatever. Trump forty percent. That's his current approval rating
in August. So the popcorn meter on Rotten Tomatoes is
(24:26):
not critics. It is what real people think of the movie.
So it's like an approval rating.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
So if you get two out.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Of three, Chris, you're gonna get qualified for this badass
grill thanks to Rinaldi Sausage, and you'll take home fifty
bucks to Kroger.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Okay, okay, here we go.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
The first movie is Child's Play two, which is Chucky.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Have you ever seen Chucky? Oh yeah, Chucky?
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Yes, my husband's favorite movie.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Well, there you go, so you should know this Child's
Play two. Does it have a higher or lower rating
than Trump's forty percent? You're absolutely right, it's fifty three percent.
So have you seen Child's Play too?
Speaker 3 (25:09):
I'm sure we have. So is your husband in the
horror movies? Oh yeah yeah? Does he like oh yeah yeah?
Does he like oh yeah yeah? Does he like for?
Oh yeah yeah? Does he like oh yeah yeah? He
seen some for? He seen some for? He seen some for? Well,
he sell spoil it for you. She won and I
(25:35):
have been Millie Vanilla. He seen some for? He's seen
some for he seen for what it's worse for the
other one was Death Wish three about Jase What about
Texas Chains?
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Oh yeah, well you know he's at least one of those?
Speaker 3 (25:54):
What about Debbie does Dallas?
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Uh? No, okay, all right.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
If you get this one right, you got to get
one of the next two correct, and you will be
qualified for that grill thanks to our friends at Rinaldi Sausage.
And you're gonna take out boil Kroger. Alright, mean here
is number two in rotten approval ratings. Remember Trump's is
forty percent in August. The next movie is Death Wish Free,
(26:20):
starring the third installment in the Death Wish series. Does
it have a higher or lower approval rating than Donald J.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Trump's forty percent?
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (26:30):
I hope it's higher. Is I like?
Speaker 2 (26:32):
I like Charles?
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Is about Charles Bronson? That you like?
Speaker 2 (26:37):
It was just cool? Death Wish movie?
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Well, I know, like the guys, you kill people?
Speaker 1 (26:42):
What would it?
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Hey, I'm with you. What's wrong with a good shoot
him up? Like the gang bangers?
Speaker 1 (26:47):
They go out, they kill his family, So he goes
out and gets vigilante justice. Yeah, well, the correct answer
is Death Wish three does have a.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Higher approval rating than Donald Trump. It's fifty three percent.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
So congratulations, Chris, You've won fifty dollars to Kroger and
you may just take home an eight hundred dollars grill
thanks to our friends at Rinaldi Sauces.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Yeah we did you sound excited? Oh yeah, yeah we did?
Speaker 1 (27:16):
All right? What radio station may have just turned you
into the best pitmaster in town?
Speaker 3 (27:22):
Is WLZ? Yeah it is. I wonder if Mojo's equipment
ever sucks. Here's the questions. I have boys wheels. Hello,
all right, let's get rocking.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Okay, next hour, I have to get to this story
about an old woman that was scammed by a quote
unquote celebrity. Old people need to stay off the internet,
particularly social media, so we got to get to that
next hour. Also next hour, I've got updated World Series
odds for the Tigers. Also next hour, YouTube TV and Fox.
(27:57):
Have they come to a deal yet, because there's a
chance you won't see the Michigan State game on Friday
or Ohio State on Saturday if a deal doesn't get
reached by later this afternoon. So we've got that and
a story from Local Fox where they went out to
the airport to talk to people about being too fat
to fly.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
We are loaded with stuff.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
The live part of it will be really good and
won't skip my problem.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Josh in this show one of six point seven WLZ
Detroit's aight three. Welcome in, everybody, Josh in a show
are We are locked and loaded for this hour.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
If you were wondering, if you're into such things, if
you want to bet on the Tigers to win the
World Series, they're current odds. They are plus seven point
fifty to win the World Series. So if you're into
gambling like I am, come on, man, you know me.
I'm a bit of a degenerate plus seven fifty.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
But and I say this with all due respect, and
I say with peace.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
And love that pitching staff ain't win a no World Series.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
You can come to me if you want. I'm not
trying to be I want them to win. I want
them to be.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
That pitching staff ain't good enough, that starting rotation is schooble,
and the Pips ain't happening. I mean back to back
losses to the A's. We'll give you the details on
last night's game that went down while you were sleeping.
We'll do that here in a few minutes in sports.
But plus seven fifty, the Dodgers are the favorite. At
(29:34):
plus four hundred the Fifer, the Phillies are still above
the Tigers, and the Phillies just lost their best pitcher
for the year. But plus seven fifty is the number
you're looking at now. But if you think about it,
here's why you should have hope. I mean, I mean,
the Dodgers are a very expensive team, obviously, right, Like
(29:55):
that's what they're known for. They may be playing poorly
up and down, but they're so loaded with talent. How
are they going to lose? But if you look at
the rest of these teams, you're like, do you really
believe the Milwaukee Brewers are going to win the World Series?
Do you believe the Blue Jays are going to win
the World Series? Do you believe the Padres are gonna
win the World Series? Or the Mariners? I don't so,
(30:17):
I mean, there's still a shot. I just don't believe
it's gonna happen. I don't believe that this team has
the pitching to do it. Starting pitching, particularly.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
My god, Charlie Morton.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
And they traded for Charlie Morton, all right, we'll get
into that in sports, and we got to get to
this gal. The details on how this gal got scammed
by a fake celebrity and how much money she sent
is mind blowing.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
We'll get into that in a few minutes.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
We'll do sports and we'll do that after the Beasties
on wheels. Yay, Jason Kelcey and the Chiefs or not
Jason Kelsey, Travis kel Father, as it were, speaking of
sports and football, Well, here's a little breaking news involving
(31:10):
the Lions. It's nothing that's overly impressive, nothing that's, you know,
gonna change the world potentially, but it may if you're
the Lions. It's not what you got, it's what you
give to the Jaguars. They're giving Tim Patrick to the
Jaguars to open up a spot for Isaac Tesla, our
little modern day cowboy, and hopefully love will find its
(31:34):
way into the end zone as often as it did
during the regulars. So are the preseason that'd be nice.
I am done making Tesla puns. They are lame and
they're no good. He's our little modern day cowboy, sign says,
Isaac Tesla is gonna.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Get more playing time that Cam Dues that's it.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
I'm done with the Tesla puns today. I wonder if
we have what you give in the system. That's a
good song anyway. So that's your Lions updates. Speaking of
the Lions, they are the most bet team to miss
the playoffs this year. According to one of the gambling sites,
the most people, or the team that has been bet
(32:23):
by the most people to.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
Miss the playoffs is the Lions. I don't believe that's
going to be the case.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
In fact, kiddos, I was on Fan Duel yesterday and
FanDuel had what they called Future's Day.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
What was Future's Day?
Speaker 1 (32:39):
A bunch of specials on betting on futures, like, Hey,
who's gonna win the Super Bowl? How many receiving yards
will this guy have? Which teams are going to win
the Division? And I built a Lions futures parlay and
I think it's a good one. I need to get
your thoughts on my parlay here momentarily, but I think
this is gonna hit and it gives me something to
be excited about during this season other than the fact
(33:01):
that it's football, other than the fact that the Lions
are good. I built this parlay and I want your
thoughts on it. This is my Lions parlay that I
built on FanDuel, who had this awesome thing yesterday with
the futures.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
Here's my parlay.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Tell me what you think Jared Goff to throw for
four thousand yards or over four thousand plus yard Jamison
Williams seven hundred and fifty receiving yards, a'm and raw
one thousand receiving yards, Sonic Jamier Gibbs one thousand rushing yards,
(33:35):
and the Lions to make the playoffs. That friends, has
a value of plus eight hundred and five, So that
means you bet one hundred bucks, you went eight oh five,
and then you get paid.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
Out nine oh five. Hot damn. We're taking it.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
To the window, baby, we're cashing you. Guys want to
tail that I did that on FanDuel. That is not
an official endorsement for FanDuel. I just really enjoyed the
fact that they had this cool deal yesterday with all
the futures bets. So I made some futures bets. I
think the Lions are going to make the playoffs. I
really got into taking team total over wins yesterday as well.
Speaker 3 (34:09):
FanDuel.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Good job by you, friends, Tigers lost last night seven
to six. Charlie Morton got off to a horrible start
and they never really rebounded. Seven hits, five urned runs,
three alout in the first. But then I should say,
I mean they made it interesting. They took the lead,
then gave the lead right back, game went to extra innings,
Tigers took the lead in extra innings.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
Then the extra innings.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Went poorly for will vest A single tithe the game
because the ghost runner scored from second, then a walk,
a sack, bunt, a walk, and a walk, and that's
a loss. Tonight they're back at it at ten oh
five because everybody wants to watch ten o'clock baseball live
from Sacramento. But my favorite stories are those of dummies
(34:51):
who get scammed by fake celebrities on the Internet. And
there are the kind of scams that I can understand,
Like it's very believable when you get an email that
said Chase Bank and that someone's hacked into your account
and call us immediately. I can see where you'd get
fooled by that. I cannot see where you'd get fooled
by a fake celebrity sliding into your DMS, But people do.
(35:16):
This is the story of a woman in Los Angeles
who was duped by a soap opera star quote unquote
that was in love with her.
Speaker 4 (35:23):
Vivian rub Lecaba wishes she knew sooner what her mother, Abigail,
was doing online and what Abigail was texting to the
scammer who sent her this.
Speaker 3 (35:35):
Hello, Abigail, I love you so much, darling. I had
to make this video to make you happy. My love.
Speaker 4 (35:40):
To General Hospital fans, this face and voice are instantly
recognizable as the likeness of Steve Burden. Burden has played
the leading role of Jason Morgan since nineteen ninety one,
and as a fan favorite, this is the real Burden
on set.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
She was a dead ranker for Britain and this is
a dead ringer for Burden. I hope this puts a
smile on your heart.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
Okay before we continue, So this woman on like Facebook Messenger.
Just to kind of give you a recap, this woman
is involved in an online relationship with someone she thinks
is the star of General Hospital. Now, in her defense,
she sees some pretty convincing videos. But against her defense
(36:29):
or against her, it's a guy claiming to be a
star of General freaking Hospital. Why would he be in
love with you?
Speaker 4 (36:39):
Tech experts we showed this video to believe it was
created with AI.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
No way, you guys consulted tech experts to find out
that this video of this guy allegedly being the star
of General Hospital was in fact not Wow. Congrats, and
you should always know that nothing will ever make me
hurt you or lie to you.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
My queen identical to him. So I understand why she
fell for him.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
I don't. I don't understand why you fell for it.
Why would you fall for someone claiming to be the
star of General Hospital being in love with you? See,
there's an arrogance that people who get scammed like you
have to have a certain level of arrogance to get
scammed by a fake celebrity, And the arrogance exists, and
that for some reason in your mind, you believe that
(37:29):
a guy who's the star of General Hospital would be
in love with you.
Speaker 4 (37:34):
After Abigail received similar videos in her Facebook dms in
October of last year, she thought the real.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
General Hospital star was in love with her. My christ, Lady, Like.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
There's a narcissism and arrogance that goes along with somebody
believing that the star of General Hospital just randomly reaches
out to you on Facebook, randomly sends you videos on Facebook,
and is in fact in love with you.
Speaker 4 (38:00):
This scammer moved the conversation over to WhatsApp, where he
told Abigail, I went to live the rest of my
life with you, Steve Burdon and Abigail Burden, sounds like
a dream come true.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Why would the Star of General Hospital say these things
to you?
Speaker 3 (38:16):
And you're my wife? Why so in her head there
was no scammer. She was talking to Steve Burton the.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
Entire time, because in her head it's nothing. There's a
mouse on a pinwheel. There's a mouse on a wheel
in her brain.
Speaker 3 (38:31):
That's so. Anyway, let me give you the long and
short here.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
You've heard the story here, Okay, this woman sent Steve
Burton of General Hospital eighty one thousand dollars in gift
cards first and Bitcoin. Why would like, let's just operate
in this strange universe where the Star of General Hospital
(38:55):
is in love with you and he meets you on
Facebook and he must have you and he wants to
run away with you. Why would the Star of General
Hospital need your money and why would he want it
in gift cards and bitcoin. But these people don't ask
these questions. They're just horny old gals. That's the problem
with this kind of goes back to one of my
favorite topics, which is women can be stupid too, Like
(39:17):
we act like men are the only ones who are
blinded by sex and like it can be easily duped.
Women can be morons too, because generally speaking, the people
getting scammed in these kind of stories are not dudes.
They are old gals, horny, old randy gals who have
convinced themselves that the star of General freakin Hospital is
in love with them. Also, this woman sold her house
(39:41):
for this guy and was on the verge of sending
him seventy thousand dollars before the daughter stopped her. So,
just if you're looking to kind of recap, this married
woman thinks she's in an online relationship with the star
of General Hospital, asks no questions about it, sends him
eighty one, three hundred and four dollars in gift cards
(40:03):
and bitcoin, then decides to sell her house for three
hundred and fifty thousand and is on the verge of
selling or giving him seventy thousand of them. Imagine you're
the wife of this chick, like, how do you feel
about yourself?
Speaker 3 (40:17):
Wow? So they're bankrupt now.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
And look, the moral of the story here is keep
your old folks off the internet. You guys think I
say this to be mean. It's a public service that
I'm providing for you. This is a public service. Keep
your old people off the internet. This woman is now
bankrupt because she was super horny on the Internet and
thought like doctor Noah Drake was in love with her.
Speaker 3 (40:40):
That's the problem. Friends.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
Now this is for Isaac Tesla, who's going to get
more playing time and score a lot of touchdowns.
Speaker 3 (40:49):
Damnit, See you later, Tim Patrick.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
Welcome to the team, Isaac Tesla. I hope what you
give is a lot of touchdowns. Put again, Ah, well,
if the season is any indicator that Isaac Tesla's going
to give us like thirty touchdowns, because that's all the
dude did. He had like ten catches or whatever it
was in the preseason or fourteen catches. I ever got
the number, like one hundred and forty receiving yards and
like three or four touchdowns. So he's going to be
(41:14):
featured a lot more and that's exciting, which means I'll
play more Tesla, which is more exciting speaking of eighties
and nineties kind of hair type of bands, although I
don't know that i'd include Tesla and the hair, like
they had the hair, but like nobody really associates Tesla
with hair bands, Like nobody looks at Tesla and goes, oh,
they're like Motley Crue or Poison, but they just had
long hair. But anyway, we were talking about the Super
(41:36):
Bowl halftime show earlier and how the odds on favorite
is now Taylor Swift now that she, you know, the
mother and father are getting married, and the thought is
that she'll play the halftime show this year, and she
is the odds on favorite, currently followed by post Malone
and followed by a Metallica. And then we talked about
what would be the greatest kind of troll halftime show?
Speaker 3 (41:54):
You don't tell anybody what's going to happen. And then
on the day of the.
Speaker 1 (41:57):
Curtain raises and it is blank who would be the
greatest troll halftime show? And I think this one's strong,
by the way, So I got a text here that says, Josh,
what if it was Zebra and docin how good would
that be? Months of build up. You don't know who
it is. Everyone thinks it's gonna be Taylor Swift. She
never says anything, so you probably think it's gonna be
(42:19):
Taylor Swift. And it's not a big pyrotechnic or anything.
There's a big stage curtain drops, the announcer goes. Ladies
and Gentlemen. The Pepsi Halftime Show, Zebra and Docin. That
would rule Tell me, that wouldn't rule, God, that'd be
(42:42):
so good. You find like the most washed up hair
metal band you can find, just like we're talking like
enough's enough. We're talking like bands that never really made it,
had like one marginal hit. We're talking about like we're
talking like just ultimate hair metal eighties, like washed up
voices are shot, no original members. Firehouse, I don't want
(43:05):
that's unfair. That's a stray on Firehouse. I really like
Firehouse actually, But the idea of Docin may be the
best one because I think they still, like I think
Don Dawcin is still in Dockin.
Speaker 3 (43:15):
If not, it's not Docin. How can you be rocking
with Docin? If Don Dawkin is not in Dowcin.
Speaker 1 (43:20):
Ladies and Gentlemen, The Pepsi Halftime show Docin, or they'd
actually have to start it with like you are rocking
with Docin.
Speaker 3 (43:36):
Oh boy, what if it was Jackal?
Speaker 1 (43:39):
Oh that'd be great, boy, and like they like, now
I've tickled myself.
Speaker 3 (43:46):
But the idea of the Jackal would be so good.
Ladies and gentlemen. No, but they'd have to start it
Speaker 1 (43:52):
Like this, Ladies and gentlemen, rock me, roll me and
jackle me off, call the Josh
