party to celebrate you.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
It was you know, what can I tell you?

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Thank you guys for coming out, because I know on
a Monday, the last thing in the world you want
to do is go all the way home and then
come all the way back and thank you to everybody
that showed up. There was awesome. I do have to
thank Anna Rob for being there and she got she
is of this morning a little salty with me because
when I was going and doing a quick little speech

(00:55):
and thanking everybody, I forgot to say Anna's name at first.
But it might have been that I just did not
recognize you, Anna Rob, That's what he said.

Speaker 4 (01:07):
I know.

Speaker 5 (01:09):
Kevin wasn't even there and he got a shout out.

Speaker 4 (01:11):
I have been working here in two years I probably
probably shouldn't have forgotten me.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
No, I can't forget Kevin. Kevin's my my Kevin is
like literally my little brother. And Anna, you are, you
are my little sister. Now you forget about sometimes you
forget you know how you always have that? Actually, can
I can I say this in full disclosure. The worst
was just before everything happened, where Colleen and Cam and
Tony went up there and started talking, and then I

(01:35):
went up there and said something. I walk over towards
Anna and I'm not gonna lie to you, and this
is gonna don't sound I don't want to sound creepy,
because this is like big brother, you know, dad talking. Okay,
Anna looked amazing last night. All you guys looked amazing.
But Anna is so new to the show that sometimes
you don't get a chance to see people outside of
their their element. And you know, we work with each

(01:57):
other on an everyday basis, but we gotta I gotta
take We clean up nice and everybody looked beautiful.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
Everybody was dressed to impress. Everybody had even Zach had
full on makeup. It was amazing.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
Haircut, you got a fresh cut, it was amazing. But
Anna like I was like, holy cow. I was like, man,
look at this. And I had to be like, we're
careful to not like overly do it. But you know
how sometimes you see somebody and you're like, you remember
going to school, and you go to school with all
these people, and you'd have that girl in school that
all of a sudden would show up at the middle

(02:30):
school dance and mom did her hair or something, and
you're like, oh my god, it's.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
Like those old school movies where she takes the glasses off.
It's almost like slow motion.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Rachel Lee Cook.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
That was It was crazy.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
So and then I got up there to do the
speech and I forgot so I'm sorry, Ann, I apologize.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
I forgive you.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
I will never let that happen ever again. Whish, I'm sorry.
What's your name? It was fun. It was fun for
every buddy that that came out to. All the great
clients that were their former co workers showed up, which
was awesome. That was like, that was like the biggest
surprise is uh that we I joke all the time
about our sales department, how sometimes they're in and sometimes

(03:12):
they're not. Former salespeople showed up. I mean, I'm thinking
you guys came all the way downtown. Our current salespeople
should come downtown. Who shouted to the most man.

Speaker 4 (03:21):
When you saw her face, she was like, Oh my god,
I can't believe you're here.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
Di Vita's husband, Daryl.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
I love Darryl.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
Yes, Davida's husband, Darryl.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
Who if you've never met Daryl before, Daryl might be
the sexiest man I've ever seen in my life.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
Let me pull up a picture of Daryl.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
Yeah, she was rocking last night. Haves like this leather jacket.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
Kevin, I ain't gonna lie you. You're a pretty man.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
This is the sexiest black man I have ever seen
in my life, Daryl.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
So you were most surprised to see this sexy blake.
That's Darylvina just walked Look, Davina literally just walked out.

Speaker 4 (03:55):
It was like, look at him real quick. Look at
the second. How old do you think, kids? I guess
maybe mid to late forties. Maybe he's sixty one years old.

Speaker 3 (04:06):
Yeah, you know what I know? Black do cras prayer
and shade butter do you right? Did you ask how
old he was? Mojo?

Speaker 1 (04:16):
I know we were talking and I said to him,
he just retired. You know he worked, he was a
he was the cable guy. She banged the cable guy
if he did that laying that fiber and uh and
and so. I jokingly used to always say to him,
I said, hey, man, you can't retire yet. You're too young,
and he basically called out, you know how old he was?

Speaker 2 (04:37):
So yeah, can I complain about something yesterday?

Speaker 6 (04:40):
Though it.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
Was it was honestly, I had so much fun yesterday.
I got to see people I haven't seen in a
long time. It was just a fun party overall until
I walked back out to my car and had this
bad play. Oh my god, I hate that color parking violation.
You guys have a legitimate Yeah, well you just got

(05:04):
the key to the city yesterday, and I got a
freaking parking violation. Okay. I park in my spot across
from t Bow at the Cambria, which is where the
party was. I park right underneath a park Detroit sign.
I pay for zone one oh five for my car,
write license plate, two dollars and fifteen cents for two hours.

(05:25):
I come back out to a ticket and I'm like,
why in the actual AF did I get a ticket? Well,
it says violation. I parked in a no standing zone.
So I look, I see the science as no standing.
I'm like, what in the heck does that mean? I
wasn't standing there? I parked there right under the park
Detroit sign, which told me to pay, and I did.
What does no standing means? Why did I get a

(05:47):
forty five dollars ticket? Standing means don't stand right there
because there's a bus stop a little bit down the way.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
That's stupid.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
I literally have no idea what that means, if, if it's,
if it's not, If I'm not supposed to park there,
why did it say? One? Why wasn't there a sign
that said no parking? And two? Why was the park
Detroit sign right there with all the info?

Speaker 3 (06:09):
There you go?

Speaker 1 (06:10):
And honestly, I do not know what so confused? But
if it is no parking, put no parking.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
Put no parking.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
But I don't think they're the same though.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
Really, all right, somebody needs to call us up and
tell us that is so Detroit is different than any
place I've ever been I've lived in. I've lived in Phoenix, Chicago,
I've lived in uh gosh, I.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
Don't know Paraguay. No, I haven't I lived.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
So when when I say this with uh, you know,
I say this with pure affinity because I just got
the key to the city. You guys are all crazy
here in Detroit with parking. The fact that we have
the parking Nazi here in Eastern Market who gives random
tickets for you're not you're too close to the corner.
Nobody learns that in driver's education class, right, you know

(07:00):
what I mean? Like you got to put a sign up.
I actually think I was going to have a conversation
with Christo's. I think we should put a sign up
saying literally, do not park here or you will get
a ticket. Because our clients are getting tickets, and they
are the people that don't want you don't want them
being salty about coming down to visit our studios.

Speaker 4 (07:17):
I think the parking person is being slick because I
think their excuse is the difference of color in the concrete,
and that is supposed to be able to quote unquote
clearly identify where you can park and where you shouldn't.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
But the difference in color and the concrete is because
this concrete sucks and they had to like redo it like.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
Five or six times.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
You know, it's so crazy to I'm looking at the
time I got this ticket. I got it six minutes
after I arrived. I got there at quarter two, quarter
to five, four point fifty one. The ticket was Kevin.

Speaker 5 (07:45):
She would love to get one of these parking workers
on the show to.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
Get officer with the initials BET.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
Call in BT.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
I parked in the lot of across the street to
serve today. I was gonna Vallet. I should have because
the Valets were all huge listeners. They were great, they
were really cool. And I did in Valet because honestly,
I wanted to do my Irish goodbye and I didn't
want to have to wait out.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
In front for the bout, which, by the way, you did.
The rest of us were all there going Where did
Mojo Goo? Did he leave his own party early?

Speaker 3 (08:16):
And you did?

Speaker 7 (08:17):
I told him that today and he's like, no. I
walked right past Colleen on the way out. I did, okay,
you didn't say, boy. She helped me carry stuff to
the car. It was very nice about any of us.
I was getting out of there like four thirty to
six thirty. I was out of there at six thirty five.
Do we know when no standing meanshit?

Speaker 3 (08:34):
No?

Speaker 1 (08:34):
Nobody has called yet eight four four six six five. Yeah,
and see if there's anybody that's gotten a no standing ticket,
please tell me what it means to call us up.
A couple of texters here. You ain't lying. Went down
for a Lion's game and ended up getting a boot.
They they're still boot You had tickets. They ain't just
throw a boot all you for no reason.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
Yeah, there's that's the cherry on top of a lot
of things.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
Three one three. This is the way for the city
to get money. Another absolutely, it is another one here.
Worse than the parking tickets are the parking lot people.
Those tickets are actually cheaper, you know what. That's actually true.
They have forty five dollars ticket, believe it or not,
is cheaper than the guys are charging eighty dollars when

(09:21):
you come down here for.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
A pict not be allowed by the way.

Speaker 3 (09:25):
That's lines act.

Speaker 7 (09:28):
I talked to a police parking officer one time because
I was asking her. I was like, hey, can I
park here? And she's like, no, I'm going to ticket you,
But honestly, it's cheaper than parking in a lot, so
you should just park it.

Speaker 3 (09:38):
Yeah, they don't tell you at all. No Hey, Joe,
do you know what no standing means?

Speaker 8 (09:44):
I sure do.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
It says a no standing zone is an area where
you can only make a temporary stop to pick up
or draw off passengers.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
Why don't they just write no parking?

Speaker 3 (09:57):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (09:58):
After six minutes? How did they know that you want
just stopping to drop off or pick up?

Speaker 2 (10:03):
I mean, I wasn't in my vehicle. Why don't they
just put a no parking sign there?

Speaker 1 (10:09):
And I've seen, Joe, I've seen where they actually will
put and say loading zone, Like why not put it
as a loading which I would know not to park there.

Speaker 5 (10:16):
Yeah, that's just that's the city's way of making more
money from you.

Speaker 4 (10:20):
I mean, if it says no in front of it,
you probably shouldn't park.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
Well but why but why have the But why have
the parking app ad right there?

Speaker 2 (10:30):
It really was?

Speaker 3 (10:32):
I means it's probably a long street. Hey, Tiffany was up.
It was probably other areas. What's going on?

Speaker 8 (10:39):
So no standing is you're not allowed to even stop
for a brief moment, So you can't even park, you
can't stop. I got the same parking ticket. I had
to go to Frank Murphy Hall for court and I
walked out and I got.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
The same ticket that And God, I like, by the way,
that the Frank Murphy Hall of Justice. It sounds like
Marvel Comics or something like that, doesn't it.

Speaker 3 (11:02):
It does. It's so cool. What's up Wayne? How you doing?

Speaker 5 (11:07):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (11:07):
I lost Wayne? Let's go to LaBelle, Hi LaBelle? What's up?

Speaker 5 (11:12):
Hi Way?

Speaker 4 (11:13):
How's everybody more?

Speaker 3 (11:14):
Everybody's good? But Shannon.

Speaker 8 (11:18):
Bye at four.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
But my question, he is, when you live in Chicago?
Did you live like in the city or the suburbs?

Speaker 8 (11:24):
Parking in Chicago is completely.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
In saying when I lived in this Chicago, I lived
in the suburbs, but I would go to college downtown.
I went to Columbia College. Now I'm gonna mind. I'm
gonna tell you this, LaBelle, this is no joke. I
had seventy two tickets. Oh my god, seventy two tickets,
and I yes, did get booted and got towed and
I had to go to my dad when I was
a college student and ask my dad for money to

(11:47):
get my car unbooted, which was not a very happy moment.
I had seventy two because here's the thing, I was
a college kid paying for my own parking and LaBelle.
You know this, parking in Chicago's more expense have then
even parking in Detroit.

Speaker 5 (12:03):
It is.

Speaker 6 (12:04):
I took my son once and I paid more in
parking than I paid for the.

Speaker 8 (12:07):
Whole sale here.

Speaker 4 (12:09):
It's crazy, I know. Do we go in a couple
of days for the Hall of Fame? Do you still
got like parking unpaid parking tickets? We want to stand
you're not driving?

Speaker 1 (12:20):
Actually, you know what's the best is is that Jacob
lives there, and Jacob has a couple of parking spots.
So we'll like go there and leave a car and
then come back, you know, with an uber It's cheaper
that way.

Speaker 3 (12:30):
What's up, Nikki? How you doing?

Speaker 6 (12:32):
Hi? First time?

Speaker 2 (12:33):
Long time?

Speaker 6 (12:34):
Okay, thank you. So when I was driving, I'm sixty
years old. When I started driving, that was one of
the first things my dad taught me. There's no standing
and I said, well, what does that mean? I too
thought it might be couldn't stand in the spot. Let's
Shannon thought. What no standing means is your vehicle cannot
be running in a park area. Obviously Shannon's car wasn't running,

(12:58):
but that's what no standing means.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
I know, I felt like the biggest idiot, honest to God.
When I got in my car, I'm like, I don't
even know what this means.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
For teaching you that though, Yeah, and probably the problem
isn't no dads now are teaching that.

Speaker 3 (13:12):
That stopped a long.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
Time ago, Nikki, can I can I tell you that
the guy that I parked with across the street said
to me when I was parking in that lot there
he goes, uh, he goes, yeah, by the way, you're
gonna have to pull out of this area and move
a cone. I said, what do you mean? He goes,
I'm going home for the night. I'm thinking to myself,
I should have waited five more minutes for the guy

(13:35):
to go home for the night, and then when I
go home for the night, you know, guy, all right,
but uh.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
Hold, you had a good party yesterday. It was fine.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
We we missed you only because of the picture that
we took, which but did you see that at least
they chose a picture that all had all black holes.
Lydia and Bianca and uh and uh Anna I almost
forgot her name again, Sorry, Shannon Zach myself like we
all got in the picture and then we were like
we gotta have Kevin this picture because it's not complete

(14:07):
sop that was there in spirit for sure. Hold on
a second, Eric, are you a parking guy? Did you
do parking tickets?

Speaker 8 (14:13):
Oh?

Speaker 9 (14:14):
I'm a first time call her.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
Oh but it says here I used to ticket people
like you.

Speaker 3 (14:20):
What does that mean?

Speaker 9 (14:22):
I worked over there in that department for twenty seven years.
I was a tough seniority person there. But due to
whatever I'm left to department.

Speaker 3 (14:30):
I'm still with the cities.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
Okay. Can I ask you a question? Can you find
out who the lady is that works Eastern Market? Get
her name, because I would like to give her a
care package to make her actually a happy person.

Speaker 9 (14:42):
What's the bash number I can find out?

Speaker 3 (14:44):
It's crazy.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
Let me look at one of my womens is not happy.
She's not a happy camper. We had the mayor in
with this yesterday and I said to the mayor, I'm like, Mayor,
you got to.

Speaker 3 (14:54):
Help us with this before you leave office.

Speaker 9 (14:57):
Well, you know what a mayor when I'm nine gonna
come in all that. But where she parked, they got
that no standing and it has that arrow, and I
know exactly what their act.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
I swear to you, there was not an arrow. There
was absolutely a no standing sign. There was no arrow.
It said no standing. There was no quote unquote this
side of Steyn in parentheses. It literally was the no
standing and on top of it was the Park Detroit.

Speaker 3 (15:21):
Let's fight it.

Speaker 2 (15:23):
I'm not going to fight it because I don't I
honestly don't have the damn energy. But there was one
hundred percent on my life no arrow right there.

Speaker 9 (15:32):
Not fight it because they take pictures. You know, we
had to take pictures with the things. They get two pictures,
but they probably on the bottom of your ticket probably
say no standing.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
It does it doesn't say but it doesn't say bus stop.
It literally just says no standing.

Speaker 5 (15:46):
At least who didn't get a bus stop tickets? I
think those are like more expensive.

Speaker 3 (15:50):
Eric. If you can fix her ticket, I'll give you.
Don't want to fix
