Speaker 1 (00:00):
We're live at Moran Chevrolet. We are giving away a
brand new car today. It's going to be so much
fun to see whoever wins this thing. Last night's game
was a tough one for the Pistons. Was that awful?

Speaker 2 (00:15):
It was a game? Yeah, it was. It was crazy
and I what happened? Please tell me?

Speaker 3 (00:21):
I genuinely don't know what. I don't watch basketball.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
It was tied with less than ten seconds left.

Speaker 4 (00:27):
In uh less than five well five point one seconds.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
And Brunson hit a three pointer. He backed his way
into a three pointer and guy, yeah, and he showed.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
But after you know what I think.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
I hate to say this, but the billboards that were
put up around town, which we posted up on our
Instagram yesterday, you got a chance to see. I wonder
if some of that stuff can make a guy play better?
But it was bruntson you're a mother flopper?

Speaker 2 (00:55):
Does accurate? Does something like that motivated guy? You think so?
I think is call it bullets and board material gives
you a little chip on your shoulders juice.

Speaker 5 (01:04):
The energy in LCA last night was incredible. The pissiness
haven't won a home playoff game since two thousand and eight,
and it is the longest streak in NBA history.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Everybody came believing.

Speaker 5 (01:17):
That we were gonna win, and it didn't look good
at first. We were down big early, and then things
started to turn around. Elik Beasley started to heat up,
and then we started to take literally take the lead
in the fourth quarter, and we lost, and you could
feel the loss in the building so much so that
I looked around the stadium and I saw about twenty

(01:38):
grown men crying. Really, and I've seen grown men cry
at weddings, you know, when they give away their daughters
or no funerals.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
But at a sporting event. The tiers were following.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
The Lions playoff games where we went to Ford Field
and the grown member crying, I was like, we should
be the we should be happy.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
We were a terrible team for decades. Let's just enjoy guys.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
Tears of joy, though, are different than tiers of sadness.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
These were tears of.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
Sadness knocked out of the playoffs.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
Oh oh, it's not good, because I will say this,
I've had moments where I've cried. I've had moments where
I've had like, this is such a cool moment, you know,
like to see my kids doing something special.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
All right, Well, shut up.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
There are moments where I've had those where I'm like,
you know what, I'm proud to them.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
Crying. Sad moments are the ones that get me.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Like sporting events, sad moments kind of bring you into
a realization that that is what sports is all about,
you know.

Speaker 4 (02:35):
But see, I have to say, and I love a
good sensitive, emotional guy, like I don't mind a crier.
I love a crier in fact, someone that shows their feelings.
But crying at a sporting event to me, as a dude,
I don't know that. I don't know how I feel
about that.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
Only people allowed to cry at a sporting event or
the people on the team. I love sports, I feel
like people take them too seriously, like it's supposed to
be fun.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
Hold on, let's open this up. Let's let's get into
a discussion about this. Do women get turned off if
they see their man cry at a sporting event?

Speaker 4 (03:11):
Like I said, in almost any other situation or occasion,
I kind of love it, But a sporting event to
me is just I'm like.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
It's too much.

Speaker 4 (03:21):
Sorry, So I understand you're devastated.

Speaker 5 (03:24):
We provide some context, put in a perspective. There are
eighty two games in a season. Okay, So if your
guy loves basketball and he is into this team, he
spends the better part of a year from October until
May watching his team. His team makes it to the postseason.
This is what you play for, to try to get
a championship. He's locked in, his team loses, he sheds

(03:46):
a tear. What does that say to you?

Speaker 2 (03:49):
It is a game more than a game. It's not,
it's not it's a game. You know. What's amazing. The
amazing thing is women will quickly call.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
A guy a.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
What is the word that they always just have? Why
am my brain farting right now?

Speaker 1 (04:08):
The man is no nove negative like your man is
like a man, not a man?

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Why am I brain farting right now?

Speaker 1 (04:16):
I know, I think that my I think that that
loud screeching noise in my head.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
Out of me.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
But they'll they'll tell they'll say that a guy is
this guy you know is a bad guy, Like he's
all he's got so much match, so much.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Man in him. And you know, I don't know either.
I don't know my point I'm gonna make.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
But he'll he'll do this and then a guy shows
a sensitive moment at a game, and you, guys, put a.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
Guy at a basketball game. We're talking about like toxic masculine, Yeah,
toxic maxxcelline.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
Guy shows toxic masculinity, you're a you know, and they'll
come down. That's been the whole thing, like the last
like ten years, that women are trying to take the
masculinity out of guys. And then a guy shows a
sensitive moment cryated a game, and you're like, oh, I'll
never f you because you're you're with a guy.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
Turn off to a guy.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
I want you to cry over like emotional intelligence, not
a basketball But you can't have.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
It both ways?

Speaker 6 (05:13):
Why not let me?

Speaker 5 (05:14):
Would you rather have the guy that dresses up in
blue and silver face paint and goes that hard guy
that cries?

Speaker 2 (05:22):
No, he's the guy that cried.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
Because he's got to go home and take that crap off,
silver running down his face.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
Anthony.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
The the women of this show are turning on us, guys.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
What do you think, Anthony?

Speaker 7 (05:37):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (05:37):
No, I was at the Lions Rams playoff game and
I'm a die hard Lion fan, but going against for years.
My girlfriend texted me saying like, oh my god, I'm
so happy for you all this and that you probably
cried your eyes out and I forced myself not to
cry because I was like, oh, I don't want to
look like a like a off guy, but I was
like inside him, like falling my eyes out.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
It's one of the best moments ever.

Speaker 6 (06:00):
And after thirty years of no playoff wins, not even
sniffing the playoffs, and when you finally went yeah, guys,
a lot to emotional for that.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
I'm not surprised to hear Megan say that that she's
turned out with this Shannon, I am because she's married
to a crier.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
She's married to a man who.

Speaker 4 (06:17):
I don't think he would ever cry a sporting event.
I really don't.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
One of his kids track men.

Speaker 4 (06:21):
It's different.

Speaker 7 (06:22):
See that.

Speaker 4 (06:23):
It is very different because then you're because then you're
there as a dad, you're there in that parent role,
and that's that's totally different to me.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
I think players and their families are allowed to cry.

Speaker 5 (06:33):
What's the difference between crying out a movie you go see?

Speaker 2 (06:36):
I could not tell you it's exactly. It's entertainment, right, Okay.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
But why do guys get to wear jerseys to football games?
And when girls dress up to go see Harry Styles
or Beyonce.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
We're made fun of. I don't make fun of you
off for that. No, I didn't say you, I make
fun of you dress up to go see Wicked, see
the Death. I think I think for a.

Speaker 4 (06:56):
Like a like last night, for example, in my head, I'm.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
Like, it's just the game, guys, Like.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
It's it's our city, it's the hope of our city.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
Ace, what's going on?

Speaker 8 (07:08):
A good morning, everybody, Good morning, Mega, good morning. I
love you, Meghan, I love you.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
It's going to be a listener anymore.

Speaker 8 (07:21):
We can date now, Hey, don't tell me, don't tellt
me ya, Hey, listen. We are super emotionally invested right
this is it's in our blood right like so to
get so close and we For me, the thing is,
the Pistons went so far past my expectations that it

(07:43):
was just fun seeing them play the hardest and give
us hope and had that and have a run like that.
But no, it still hurts. I still believe we can win.
I was always going to be Boston, so you know,
don't get on.

Speaker 4 (07:56):
But are there tears running down your face and it's
not coming out of.

Speaker 2 (07:59):
Your personally, thank you.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
But if I was, if I was at that game
in a season ticket holder, and I was back in four,
that brought back memories of four that would have made
me cry, I would have been.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
I would have been sad to see it.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
I cried when the Pistons won the championship and when
those guys beat the Lakers. I literally got emotional because
I saw an entire city get rebuilt basically in one
moment by that. But with this said, Ace, are you
really going to try to date Megan? What's tell me more?

Speaker 2 (08:32):
I know you do? You call all the time? Ashley?
What's up? Ashley?

Speaker 7 (08:40):
Hey guy?

Speaker 2 (08:41):
Hey, good morning, good morning, good morning.

Speaker 8 (08:44):
I'm gonna miss you, Meghan, love you, thank you.

Speaker 7 (08:49):
So I'm okay with men crying.

Speaker 9 (08:52):
However, I think these men are crying because their bet.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
Lost and have to tell their wives how they actually
be right.

Speaker 9 (09:01):
They're like, oh, I thought I was gonna win all
this money and now want wa.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
I wonder if I wonder if there are guys that
have ever cried when they lost a bed.

Speaker 5 (09:13):
You a game, and all of a sudden your man
is pissed he lost a bit?

Speaker 2 (09:22):
Yeah, do you think that the one?

Speaker 1 (09:24):
It seems like every one of my buddies always loses
the last game of the parlay, and I always screws
them up.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
A man is.

Speaker 5 (09:28):
Crying with a phone in his hands because the party canna,
what's up?

Speaker 8 (09:34):
Hi?

Speaker 9 (09:34):
I think the girls are so wrong.

Speaker 8 (09:36):
The girls are so wrong on this one.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
You're the only guys are wrong.

Speaker 8 (09:41):
Let me tell you something.

Speaker 9 (09:42):
These guys, these guys grew up watching these games with
their grandpas, their dad. They're if the having kids, watching
them with their kids. So I think it's a it's
a whole like family thing, and they're carrying on that
legacy supporting their team, and it's like it's it's all passion.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
Do you remember that old time that was laying in
the bed that dyed his hair blue. He was dying
and he was in the bed and uh alm around
Saint Brown came and visited himself.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
Oh yeah, you're laughing in his.

Speaker 10 (10:13):
No, he allowed to cry.

Speaker 4 (10:14):
Is probably not going to see any games next season.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
Killed you killed them?

Speaker 10 (10:20):
To her point, you act like I didn't have a father,
screaming at halftime, turning the television off and going to
the garage for an entire quarter to go be alone,
like I grew up in that same atmosphere, and I'm
excited when they do well, and you cry when they lose.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
He needed to show you. He shouldn't have gone to
the garage.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
He should have showed you his sensitive side in the
house so that you would be more sensitive towards us.
Right now, I blame you, Scott Mick's what's up, Natalie?

Speaker 2 (10:48):
Natalie?

Speaker 1 (10:48):
Natalie, Natalie, don't make me cry. I've already had my
ear drums blown out once. What's going on?

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Natalie? Three? Two one? What's going on? Austin? Austin, Austin?
What's going on here? Zach? Where we be? Goodbye? Delayna?
What's up? Delayna? And Delena? Please give me some life error?

Speaker 7 (11:16):
Hi? Yeah, so I want to sa. I want to
say that men deserve to cry because I do not
follow basketball, but for some reason, I wanted to watch
it last night. And when I watched it last night,
I was so living and I was so pissed, and
me and my girlfriend we stay next door to Little
Caesars and just watching all of the guys like come

(11:39):
out pissed and mad. I'm like, first of all, I
know people are so mad, they're losing their parlays one
and two. It's just something for the city, like we
love to win, like Detroit is. Detroit is its own
place throughout the United States, and I feel like we
need like just one big moment.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
I love that Detroit is its own place throughout the
United States. Can I can I say one thing though.
The other thing too is I wanted to win a
game at home. I wanted to I wanted to win
a playoff game in LCA, and we didn't get a
chance to do it.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
So that kind of was the bumber the whole thing.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
If we would have lost in New York Game seven,
I would have been like, Okay, cool, we actually put
up a fight that game last night.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
We could have won that game.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
We had what a ten point lead at one point
towards the end of that game, and I just felt
like that was the thing that was a bumber. And
then the dagger in the heart was that Brunson was
the one that hit that three pointer.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
Listen for New York fans, you know what, that was
a great moment.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
That guy showed how great of a player he was.
I wanted to win it for keV because I knew
that if keV actually came in this morning, he would
care about this show more on a win.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
Very true.

Speaker 7 (12:44):
And my girlfriend. My girlfriend used to live in New York,
so it was like New York versus De Troy in
the house.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
That's right, New York.

Speaker 1 (12:55):
By the way, I think Welcome to Detroit's a better
song than Empire State of Mind. And they played, yeah,
all right, well we're done, no more, let's go out
and buy. Let's see if Mad Shbo will trade us
Devin Booker. If you trade us Devin Booker, Matt, we'll
promote u WM non stop on this radio show.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
Megan and Shannon.

Speaker 5 (13:17):
Yeah, if one of our listeners who wins the FOB
today and goes away with a car is a guy,
he starts to cry.

Speaker 4 (13:23):
No, I would love that would so it will looks
so great on our Instagram.

Speaker 3 (13:27):
But what did I say this entire time?

Speaker 2 (13:29):
The players are allowed to cry. They're the players. Okay,
that's true, They're allowed to cry.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
All right, Kevin and I are going to go back
to toxic masculinity after this.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
That was that was the only emotional side that you're
going to see
