she's not a partial And that was brutal. So yeah,
it's not gonna it's gonna be quite a process. She's
staying at our house in the Dent so she can
have that, you know, she has doesn't have stairs and
she has her own bathroom downstairs, and so we've been
getting the house ready for that and so that's but

(03:47):
how long is she going to be there? My sister's
coming this weekend, so she's the wee. Yeah, she's the reprieve.
Hopefully then by then she'll be able to go upstairs
at least once a day.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
And so the mom is your mom is going to
stay until this weekend. Yeah, Okay, it's not too bad,
It'll be fine. Yeah, you know, it could be fine.
My wife's out to You always talk about how glowing
glowingly about your guys walks and stuff, So I just
figured that you could just bring it indoors. So the
wife is not going to be there for for.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Most of it. She's conveniently out of town for work.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
Right. Yeah, yeah, good job, Elizabeth. Yeah smart, smart, good play,
good play. Just happen to plan that out like that?
Well played?

Speaker 2 (04:26):
Yes, yes, I think she decides her own schedule too,
so I'm not quite sure how that how that actually is.

Speaker 3 (04:31):
That's pretty brilliant. Yeah, it's I got to say, I
would have tried the same thing. Yeah, I mean, come on,
knee replacement for an older lady.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
I prefer I prefer it that Elizabeth's gone by the
way during this because it's just not going to be
fun around the house. I mean, my mom is gonna
be in pain where you know, I'm gonna be helping
her out. She's gonna have a friend staying overnight a
couple of times, uh, with us too, just so somebody's
like in the room with her, you know, if she
needs to go to the baths.

Speaker 3 (04:53):
So not only do you have mom, you have a friend.
Her friend's day. Yeah, oh, just in case anything goes down.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
Yeah, in the middle of the night, you know. Yeah, yeah,
we thought about getting her a bell, but I thought
that would you know.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
Well for the friend, Well the friend needs no one
to you know, help her out with the bathroom in
the middle of the night, so she might need.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
Well she we're gonna get her. She's gonna be in
like a cot right next to the bed we have
for my mind, it's it's quite a process. I had
to move my treadmill out of the room. So the
treadmill is in the living room. It's quite a house.
Loube everywhere, Loube everyone. Sorry, Mom, this is not real loop.
This is a treadmill, Loube. This this lube discussion actually
came up yesterday because we were talking about that. We
got the den ready where the treadmill was. We you know,

(05:29):
we have a fold out couch. It's really nice and
we got it all the whole area anyway, really nice
for and you put mom on the pullout Well, it's
a really nice I mean, it's a really nice pullout couch.
We and it's it's what we have downstairs. Otherwise we
could pull them out, you know, but yeah, it's a
really nice plot couch. Anyway, you don't feel like the
bar in the middle of your back round and this
is like a really really really fancy Pilgrim house style,

(05:51):
you know, or something like that. Anyway, what a great
sun you are. But we so I moved the treadmill.
But that was my wife's first thing. She's like, don't
let lube drip all over the floor, because you know
your mom's gonna have like one good leg and you
don't neither sliding around on lube in the room and
breaking her other knee or whatever, setting back the surgery.
So this was a concern that was that was had doctor.

(06:13):
We have to explain this to you somehow.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
I don't know how my mom fell after the surgery,
but let's just say story we're telling me, and I'm always
on the treadmill if you need to know. And the
lube just went everywhere, and Mom slipped and fell, thank
god her friend who was sleeping right next door. So
what so, what are you gonna do at night upstairs? Oh? Sleeping? Yeah? Yeah, okay, yeah,

(06:35):
damn yeah no, I do think it. Shout out to
Elizabeth though, she's the real winner here, and she got
out of there, and she also did I mean she
did you oman's work, like making things spick and span.
You know, it's somebody else who's you know, when you're
getting out of there, it's easy to clean, right, it's fair,
you know what I mean, get out of there. But like, hey,
the place is clean. Grandma'll see you later. If my
mom falls, have fun with the Golden Girl. If my

(06:56):
mom falls, will at least be a story we're telling
by our friends at Midtown Brewing Company in downtown on Lancing.
Awesome place to take your fall around you though, take
your mother of any age. Fantastic menu, great great lunch,
dinner spot any occasion, including trivia on Tuesday nights. Yeah,
so that's awesome. Yeah, you ready to digging on? I

(07:17):
don't know, does anybody have any Do we have any
people that wrote in today? I mean, Jesus Christ. We
have a new July topic for years and years to come.
So that's a great sign, right, Scotty Scotty versus Tiger.
Is Scotty the next Tiger? I mean yes, right now,
I think so. But I mean if he called he
does another season of this, then we could start me.
It's it's gonna be a July topic from here until

(07:39):
Scotty retires. I think he has all of a sudden Yeah,
but if you see that happening.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
Well, Dustin Johnson fell off, but Dustin Johnson has other
you know. His idea of fun is my idea of fun,
And I don't know how long that is for when
you're on the PGA Tour slash Live tour doing other
things like Dustin Johnson does. Scotty Shuffler, likes to go home,
has a pizza, a cookie, some milk, goes to bed,
can't wait to see his baby in the morning.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
So he's not like partying or anything. He's a people's chance.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
My question with him, And don't get wrong, it's been
a two year run of dominance that's been Tiger like
and the way he was just he's become a force
is like thatts.

Speaker 3 (08:18):
Are crazy, right, Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
The thing is he's already twenty nine. Tiger started earlier.
So I think there are two components of this. In
terms of run of dominance, we have not seen anything
like it since prime Tiger. But in terms of like
getting to fourteen majors, the amount of time that would
take and the length of good health and good fortune
and being at the top of your game. You know,

(08:41):
eventually Tiger broke down too with his body. But like,
it's just we're just to me as fifteen majors? Is
that what Tiger is?

Speaker 3 (08:48):
Fifteen? Right?

Speaker 2 (08:49):
Remember twenty nineteen he won oh Master, So that was
let's say you to me, once you crossed the halfway
threshold and you're below thirty five years old, Yeah, then
we have the discussion about so if he gets to eight,
so what are twenty nine now? So he's very I
mean he could if he keeps playing like this, he'll
do it looks like he's thirty seven. But yeah, but

(09:09):
if he gets to if he gets to eight, by
the time he's thirty five, and so you still have
prime golf years left and you're at eight and you've
done a lot of it in the in the in
the previous like eight years.

Speaker 3 (09:20):
Well, ye has seventeen wins on the PGA Tour and
Tiger had eighty two. So there's that as well. I
know the majors are And even Scotty Scheffler, to his credit,
was like, what do you guys talking about? I'm not
even close to fucking Tiger. I mean some of the
you know, the way that he strikes the ball. I mean,
he's obviously putting up numbers that are Tiger esque, especially
since twenty twenty. I mean one hundred and eleven under

(09:40):
par in majors since since twenty twenty, forty six shots
better than anyone else in that span. I mean, yeah,
the numbers right now, But if you want to sit there,
and I think people just forget if you want to.
My Instagram is nothing but tiger Woods highlights and other
golf stuff and some baseball card shit. So I just
constantly see old school tiger Woods highlights. Go back and
check out Tiger Woods. It was just I don't think

(10:02):
there will ever be. Like someone said this morning, he's
one of one, and I don't know why we have
to do this. I guess it's because it's our this profession. Yeah,
we sports radio thing of percent, and I just think
that it's farther away than you really think if you
break it down for if you look at inside of
Tiger's eighty two wins and the thing.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
But I think it is fun to We want to
see greatness. We want to see I mean, obviously we
want drama, and.

Speaker 3 (10:26):
I did yesterday I had Fitzpatrick it's fifty five, even
though he faded out. But man, it would have been
interesting if if Scheffler wasn't playing whatsoever. I got him
in a fun leader board. So I I did.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
Okay, I'm a bet because I took Scheffler plus four
six mir and I'm just gonna do that every time,
by the way, now, because here's the thing. Here's what
I love about betting Scheffler, and this is even if
he loses, the man is unflappable. And because of that,
when you're he is calming, if you've got money on him,
it's a calming thing. Like in yesterday, just watching him

(10:56):
just sort of truck through row, you know, like you
don't worry about him sort of losing his shit out
there or anything like that.

Speaker 3 (11:02):
Now, yeah, I did, And that's the shades of Tiger
that you would see, because like he double bogie on eight, yeah,
and then birdied nine, and he's got a thirty six
percent chance bounce back, right, that's what they call after
you make a bogie or higher, what do you do
after that? And Scotti Scheffler just bounces back like nothing happened.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
And it was like more than thirty holes since he
bogied when that when that happened, you know, and the.

Speaker 3 (11:24):
Most guys that double bogie in that spot fall apart
right and you bounce back the next hole, and Birdie it.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
I did get a little screwed. Rory fell out of
the top five, just barely. Ricky Fowler was in the
top ten. Yeah, and then and then that was a
great pick though, and then it had a great day
and then wound up, you know, tied basically eleventh. He
was tied for fourteenth. But a bunch of guys are.

Speaker 3 (11:43):
I got burned too. I had Burger, I had Burger
and Henley, and then I get the dead heat because
Burger was top thirty with other with four other players,
so it's called a dead heat. So it diminished my
bet because I would have ended up breaking or I
would have cashed over a little bit like fifteen dollars.
But I ended up a little under because of the
stupid dead heat rule.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
But at this point I'm always I mean, I may
have some other things, but Scheffler is the baseline. I'm
happy to lose with Scheffler right as long as.

Speaker 3 (12:09):
He's Harry had Lexander Schoffle top top twenty. Yeah I believe. Yeah,
so it's another great play by we did Garry. We've
improved since the Masters since fifteen. Pay us what you
owe us, that's what we need to get the t
shirts for our listeners. Where's where's our piece? Oh no, wait,
that's just the w n b A guys. By the way,
I thought for sure you were going to rock one

(12:31):
of those shirts today.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
Pay us what you owe us. I think we owe
the listeners at this point, But all right, what's your
what's your next take? Oh, we're gonna do the Tigers.
Let's do the Tigers. Okay, that was our first take? Yeah, yeah,
that was it. Start day.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
If he's stying for Detroit scampling day.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
And yay so.

Speaker 3 (12:53):
Many Thank god for Trek Schouble last night. Huh stop
the bleeding a little bit. But he's there for Can
we just sign this guy already? And every time I
watched this guy, like last night, I'm like, oh man,
it's gonna be a bummer in two years. We're not
gonna see school on the mound anymore. Why don't we
just pay this guy sixty and forty? Graham, can you

(13:13):
believe that the best the first team to get to
sixty and forty, it's pretty amazing. In the NL West,
I mean, there's two teams that could do that, I believe.
I don't know if they play each other tonight, but
so they could also get to sixty and forty. Thank God,
we're not in the NL West, I think, guy, we're
in the Central where everybody is apparently terrible. Because I
was looking at the standings and going like, wow, we
lost what six in a row? We stopped the skid
last night. Some of these other teams in the division

(13:35):
must have just you know, gained on us a little bit. No,
not at all. So the so what do we worry
about going into the trade deadline that's coming up. What
at the end of the month.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
You still need bullpen help and you might need a bat,
but you need bullpen help.

Speaker 3 (13:48):
But when you get Carpenter back and hopefully Meadows turns
the corner. Because I'm with you, I'm like, do we
need I need bullpen help? I know we need definite
bullpen bullpen help, but I'm saying as far as a bat,
I am not opposed to that either, is Scott Harris.
That's the thing, because when you watch this team struggle
and struggle I understand. And by the way, I love
aj Hinch. Could we just let Schooble get out of

(14:09):
that inning last night? Okay, here's my take on this. Okay,
I want to I want to get into this because
that that that's that's the visceral reaction. So, for those
who aren't aware, school Ball pitches six and two thirds
the second out in the eighth. He's got two men
on the corners, around the corners, and he quite a battle,
gets a strikeout. He's fired up, almost like he thought

(14:32):
it was the third out. To the way he pumped
his fists and walked off the mound. I do wonder
if for a second that's almost as big as the
third out, to be honest with you, getting it was huge.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
And then they take him out and put Tyler Holton
in and and and of course there's a wild pitch
and the run scores and ties and school Ball loses
the win, and obviously they won. And I was ahead
on the count though he should have struck him out.
So yeah, here's a couple of things to know.

Speaker 3 (14:55):
I was.

Speaker 2 (14:55):
I was very much. The natural reaction is damn it.
We see this all the time. Managers overthink this. They
do this all the time because we would all feel better.
Even if you leave scooball in and he gives up
the hit or he gives up the run, then it's like, oh, well,
that at least made sense to do that. Sucks now
you go get him. But how many people would have
been AJ? That's why you pull him right now? Can

(15:16):
you win? I think most people would have been pro.
I would have been okay with it, would have been
okay with it. So where I.

Speaker 3 (15:25):
Where where?

Speaker 2 (15:26):
I changed my mind on this a little bit. So
I read the quotes from AJ Hinch after and from
scooball after and it was clear. I mean, I think
Hinch has a pretty good feel for this. And Hinch
said he really emptied his tank. You could see it.
They were basically talking about his you know, his ability
to his get out pitches. It late and late as
time was going on, and he really emptied his tank

(15:46):
to get that second out of that inning like he could.
And then when he goes to Holton, if Holton had
like given up some meatball over the plate home run,
I would have pissed off. But it's a wild pitch.
That's a weird thing. It wasn't like he pitched poorly.
He pitched well. In the next inning, vest came like
it every move paid off, except for the fact they
had a wild pitch in there. It wasn't like he
even gave up a hit. And and just the quote

(16:07):
from the way that Schooble took it on the mound,
the way that the things Google said afterward, the things
that hinch and afterward, it just feels like they had
a better sense of the pulse of things. Did it
one hundred percent work out?

Speaker 3 (16:18):
And no? Will it drive me nuts if they do
it again? Will drive everybody? Yes? Do I wish he
left Google in? Yes, but I get it.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
A little more and it and obviously that when they
come back to win it it. I think that's one
of the things that you know, we talked about this
last week at some point with what takes people's takes
on the internet. Any take that is made within ten
minutes of an event happening should not it should not
have any credibility because.

Speaker 3 (16:44):
College refs are ass well, that's pretty much dead one.
That's a given. But take let the emotion simmer for
a second. That's not fun.

Speaker 2 (16:52):
It's not fun. But it gives you more credibility. It
gives me and then it gives you more reason, and
it gives you you're not just the eighty eighth millionth person, uh,
you know from you know to jump all over a
J Hinch. I love AJ, but this is a moronic decision.
I mean it's just moronic. Is a little strong.

Speaker 3 (17:08):
But any if you could disagree with it, because I
felt like if Scooble could get out of that jam,
could it propel us to just close this game out
to where we had to you know, we had to
sit there and Veeriling ended up coming through in the
clutch and even getting a nice hit up the middle there.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
But man, even more credibility if you want to take
in and this is where I think there are a
lot of people and I felt the same way is
when he got taken out, even before it happened. You
can see what's happened. You're saying no, no, no, leave him in.
And because you can see what's going, don't you do it?
You bum?

Speaker 3 (17:37):
Yeah? Yeah, I get it can go both ways, right,
I think like if you sit there and you go
I don't know more than Aj Hinch. I get it.
He's he's a great manager, even though you got a
cheat sometimes to win. But we don't look past that.
We don't talk about the past. But sometimes you can
sit there and go in the field in the mix
of the game. Because they've done that to MYZ when
they pulled Maz once and I'm like, and they're like,
why you didn't even wins or do anything. So I

(18:00):
get it. They have their analytics and they like doing
all that stuff.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
They see velocity and they see what's going on with
the picture. They have a feel for for where for what.

Speaker 3 (18:07):
You're saying, take a fifteen minute break of like, all right,
let me just process I'm just saying, yeah, and then
start fire, think about it for a second, you know,
and like, I have no problem if you disagree with
the decision, because I sort of still do too.

Speaker 2 (18:18):
I'm I also I knew I wanted to hear A. J.
Hinch's comments, and it sucked because because it wasn't a
Bally's uh game and it was on the FanDuel now
or FanDuel sorry sorry, it's all it's all on my
Xfinity cable, which I was able to watch the game
on ESPN and with but because it wasn't on that.

(18:39):
They didn't have the live, you know, press conference afterwards.
But just reading from the stories, I I'm okay with it.
I wouldn't wouldn't throw the win, yep, wouldn't throw with it.

Speaker 3 (18:48):
If it would have led to two runs, we would
have lost that game two to one. Then I guess,
you know, do you have another take? I don't, okay.
I have one thing else going on.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
One last thing before we get the listener takes, and
some really good MSU football and basketball. You have them Ball, Tigers, Scheffler,
a lot of good stuff, WNBA All Star Game, a
lot of good stuffy. One thing, it appears ms U
hockey is going to get port of Martone, the sixth
overall pick in the NFL draft. He was the Flyers
draft pick. This is part of that new world where

(19:17):
they can recruit Canadian juniors. They get him for a year,
and this is a huge get. Right after, you know,
Isaac Howard gets traded and then they lose him, and
then obviously Gavin McKenna picks Penn State over Michigan State
wo's and I don't think any MSU fan was feeling

(19:37):
like sky is falling. Everybody knows that what's happened under
Adam Nightingale has been incredible for the program. But it
is a reminder just the the stratosphere that MSU Hockey
is operating in right now, Like, you know, they're one
of two people for was supposed to be a generational
guy like McKenna. Then they get another top six NHL
pick who chooses them they got I think they got

(19:58):
fourteen now maybe fifteen, fourteen or fifteen off the look
NHL picks on next year's roster like it's there, it's
gonna be fun. Times would have been really sweet if
McKenna was there with that, you know, been like must
see hockey. I mean, I think either way it's gonna
be it's gonna be a fun year, and then there
will be pressure on them when they get the NCAA tournament.
It's gonna be an NCAA tournament team. I think everybody

(20:20):
knows that. But it really just speaks to the situation
where you know, you lose out on one guy, another
guy leaves things, you need a replacement and you're not
going You're not you know, at the bottom of the
barrel scraping for some mid major transfer. You hope plucky anymore.
There's none of that right that, that's those days are gone. Instead,
you're taking a guy who is a top six NHL

(20:43):
draft pick.

Speaker 3 (20:45):
How great iss lancing though during hockey season. I think
it's pretty be a great pitch to where these guys
are like, yeah, I know I went top ten, top
ten in the draft, but man, he's lancing in the fall. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
That or you play a year in the AHL, and
and and and them as you, hockey has a reputation
right now where they're developing guys well enough and and
organizations are comfortable with that, and so you're you're you're
getting that, and I think in some ways it's a
better place to mature the The the complaint you'll hear
from pro hockey teams, and I've heard this from friends
who cover the cover the sport and cover the NHL,

(21:17):
is they don't play enough games in college. So some
people say the college hockey season is too long. The
problem is they only play like forty games, whereas you know,
you play and sometimes for development, they want they want
more than that. And that that is the one downside
the college hockey situation. They're not gonna up the games
because they have to pretend it's you know, an academic
body too, and there's gotta be plenty of time for

(21:40):
you know, hitting the bars and est lansing and that
sort of stuff that's part of the pitch. That's why naturally, yeah,
why why why you go there? Anyway, just wanted to
bring that to light. Are you ready to dig into
these listener takes?

Speaker 3 (21:49):
Let's do it, my friend Eric Schultz up first, Trey
Ford may begin the season as the starting two guard.
If he's still the starter in March, it means the
season was a failure and bonus. Okay, this has gone
on long enough. Graham Kaylen Lucas won Big Ten Player
of the Year once, not twice, once one time. You
don't need Jason to play hoffs, so you can look

(22:10):
it up. Thank you.

Speaker 2 (22:11):
No, I saw this, Eric, and I looked it up,
and you were right. I don't know why he was
two time first team All Week ten. You know how,
sometimes somewhere you you think something and you just repeat
it to yourself enough that it is a fact of life.
And I've been saying that quite a bit, and I
think I knew that he wasn't, but at some point
I just started saying it. And uh, but one of

(22:33):
the things Eric is great at is holding me accountable
and I appreciate that. From Eric to the to the
trade exhausty Yeah, well yeah, no, absolutely he miss me.
I can't even believe he still listens to me, fucking
such a telling me to not play hoff He's calling
you out. It's great, such a sense of responsibility to
listen to the show. He's like, I got to listen
today again because he's can't take it anymore. Kayl lucas

(22:55):
shit couch does to me, screw this up again? But
to the trade four. But the only pushback I would
have on this is just from people I've talked to,
have been around practice. There are some people really really
really high on his ability and think he'll be better
than jayde Nakens was for them, at least at least offensively.

(23:18):
And so I again, I don't know what kurtang is
going to be in year one. I don't right now
if the season from everything I've heard right now, if
the season began, Trey four would would clearly be the
starting shooting guard. And so I don't know if that
you know, the seasons of failure, if he has a
good year. I think he's capable of having a good
year at the Big ten level. So I would push

(23:39):
back on that. I just you know, Eric, I trust
your analysis, so I would want more analysis from you
on it and why you feel that way, and if
you feel based on everything you've seen from him, that
he can't be an upper tier Big ten shooting guard,
and you know, I don't know one hundred percent he
can be, but I'm because there is some evidence through
the previous five years of his college basketball career that

(24:00):
that's not definitely not a given. But some of the
stuff I've heard from from practice as people are are
pretty dang excited about them.

Speaker 3 (24:09):
Maybe maybe next number one, people don't want to hate
Jonathan Smith and are dubiously excited about football. You ought
to capitalize on it. And number two ninety two to one,
the edge is greater than the ticket. Ninety two on
the edge yeaheah, it was in downtown. He's lancing right.
Maybe the land shark. Maybe maybe you had a picture
of old ninety two point one the edge key chain too.

(24:30):
Oh yeah, it might be time to throw that away.
What do we hording or me?

Speaker 2 (24:33):
Maybe be mebe so ninety two, like when you were
that when you were a dorky kid like me, Right,
you're talking about a kid who went is still am
well yeah, but I mean I went uh in both
sixth and seventh grade. I went as Gavroge from Le
Miz for Halloween. You know, like that's that's got kind
of dorky, right, that's loserish behavior. So when you're trying
to fit in and people would ask you, like, what's

(24:54):
your favorite radio station? Depending on who was asking, I
used to say like ninety or two on the edge
because that was a say space that got you and
know you're fine, that was a good, good place to be.
And then that's what you were scared of. But you
dressed like a fucking lay miss character. Well yeah, right now,
it's not a we're gonna beat you up for not
knowing the popular radio station. But well it was ninety
six point five if you're talking to a certain clientele,

(25:15):
and then it was ninety two to one and it
was a different clientele, and you just power ninety six
point j. So it depended on who you were speaking to.
How I wanted to fit in, you know, I was
a lancing kid. Lots of different field sectors, you know,
totally yeah to maybe maybe his first point, people don't
want to he depends on the cliente. People don't want

(25:40):
to hate giant Jonathan Smith and are dubiously excited about football.
He ought to capitalize it, you know, I think that's
I think it's probably a minority who are are I
think there are probably fewer people than I think that
are really out on him or suspect and we and
some of them are on our listeners who are or contributors.

(26:01):
I would love to know what the Maybe that's a
good well.

Speaker 3 (26:05):
They want to give him a chance going into this year, obviously,
like you keep telling people, but there's also a threshold
if what happens this year happens in their mind, yeah,
he's got to go.

Speaker 2 (26:16):
I think I think I think what happened last year,
the way it ended people was familiar to people in
a way that hurt and and that made them concerned.

Speaker 3 (26:26):
And we don't have enough time for all of that.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
They knew that feeling and they didn't like it, and
it was a feeling of coaches who had failed and
coaches they couldn't trust to be good, and there was
everything they had heard was this guy was a competent coach,
and you had the Iowa game, and then from there
it got worse and worse, and there were there were
a number of injuries which I think we were maybe
understated a little bit, although I put that on coaches
to one of the things. You know, coaches are very
very careful about injuries and the number of and just

(26:54):
how bad it is. They don't want to you know,
they don't want to talk about injuries. Mark D'Antonio used
to say, But if you're not going to be transparent
with that stuff, it's harder for people to understand why
things are happening. And and I think, you know, there
have been a couple of seasons, not just under Jonathan Smith,

(27:14):
but under Meltucker and where they got really really beat
up defensively in certain areas to the point that they
just weren't able to compete at the big ten level.
And that wasn't that needs to be better explained. Now
it's harder, there's a fine, it's not easy to do
that because you can't just say before a game, yeah,
you know, we got this freshman back here and he's

(27:34):
got no fucking chance, Like you can't say that about it,
but you have to.

Speaker 3 (27:39):
Be nice though.

Speaker 2 (27:39):
There are ways to thread that needle with tea leaves,
and people kind of get the idea that it could be.
It could be a tough afternoon and you've got to
I just think coaches don't do a great job of
that and it doesn't work to their favor.

Speaker 3 (27:52):
Thomas next, MSU football will have a fine season, not great,
not terrible, but the Tigers will distract enough people to
temper the most extreme reactions to the season. See or
the Tigers might let us down and then we'll go
even harder on the NSU team.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
Yeah, and you know, it depends how long the Tigers
go right, and and it will. It will mask over
some stuff, but not long term. I do. I do
agree with But it's a fine season, not great. It
can it can help things.

Speaker 3 (28:23):
Can't find season though, Like what is a fine season?

Speaker 2 (28:26):
That's a great question. What does fine mean to people?
I think fine? Yeah, six and six, fine, seven and
five again, and we talk about it. I mean, like
where are the wins? Like what wins are happening during that?

Speaker 3 (28:37):
Right?

Speaker 2 (28:37):
And you're right, it's it's who they beat, it's how
it looks. I think fine can be a lot of
different things, and we also just don't know how good
certain teams are going to be. And you know what
is Indiana this year?

Speaker 3 (28:48):
Right?

Speaker 2 (28:48):
I mean, you know, you read some things and it
looks like they'll be pretty good. I don't I don't
know that will Indiana have like a twenty twenty two
Michigan State deal after the last season that was I'm
going to maybe MSUs twenty twenty one. I But yeah,
you can see that certainly the Tigers being playing winning
October baseball helps everything and it takes pressure off things,

(29:12):
but it will not be the focal point on Michigan
State Michigan Week. It will not stop people from being
really upset if they lose to Michigan badly and then
turn around and lay in egg to Minnesota the following
week on the road. Like there are things that the
Tigers cannot rescue you from.

Speaker 3 (29:28):
Kurt was Newski number one. Seeing Scheffler dominate the Open
was really special. He's the scoopal of the PGA. And
to MSU football in Vegas for big ten media days
without their quarterback is weird. It's like twenty fifteen the
kind of thing that will propel MSU to the Big
Ten championship and a college football playoff spot.

Speaker 2 (29:47):
Well, he's not a senior. That's the difference. And I
think that if you leave a senior quarterback behind, people
talk about it differently. I actually like this move that
he's not one of the players who were there, because
what happens when you're there, and the way it's set
up now is is it's set up that the stories

(30:09):
are just about you, right, because there are only so
many players there and you got like forty five minutes
of these guys and everybody's standing around it, and so
then it becomes this whole story and there will be
plenty of stories about is you know what is Aiden
Child's going to be this season? It's going to be
the only story. We're going to write the heck out
of it in August, right, and it'll be into So
you don't if you can avoid starting it from a

(30:30):
more national and regional perspective in July and give him
a breather on this so it doesn't just become like constant,
I don't. I don't hate it for a guy who's
a junior who needs who has not proven that yet
that he like we talked about Aiden Childs having big
time potentially, and he does, but you know, he's a
guy who I think more concerning is is his focus

(30:52):
needs to be on play and less on bravado and
explaining stuff and predictions. And he was a guy last
year who got caught up in some of that. I
think he was better this spring, you know. But it's
easy to do over is we're talking about that? Yeah,
all that stuff like he's supposed to say. But again,
I think Gaiden Childs is one of those guys if
he's up on a stage for forty five minutes, he's
going to say a few things that our little bravadoish

(31:14):
that just don't help you, Just don't. You just don't need.

Speaker 3 (31:18):
MCV five to one to two next number one. If
MSU football doesn't average at least thirty points this season,
the fight song will officially be amended to watch the
punts keep growing and bonus. People can rightfully hate on
Indiana scheduling, but Michigan did the same thing for years
and people only talk about their success.

Speaker 2 (31:39):
I mean, I've talked about Michigan schedule because I hate
the eight home games. I hate what they've done. And
Ohio State did it a little bit too. I less
so the Michigan State because Ohio State had a weird,
screwy situation with a Notre Dame game where that you know,
threw them for a loop at the last second. The
next year they only played six home games. I totally agree, Like,

(32:00):
I don't think it's right for anybody. Indiana is doing
it pretty blatantly right now that they're just dumping quality
games or games at least against Power five opponents, for
games against fcsfos. And you know, we're in an era
where you know, people just do the shit that you're
not used to get in trouble for and and everything
in life, and hey, I'm just gonna do it. Stop
me who cares? And and maybe Indiana won't be punished

(32:23):
for I know this. If I were on the playoff committee,
I wouldn't vote them, and I wouldn't vote any jackass
who played eight home games. I wouldn't vote anybody. Intent
and scheduling would matter to me. And so we just
need one knucklehead like me on the committee to stop
this sort of stuff from happy.

Speaker 3 (32:38):
How do we get you on there? That's a good question.
We need to make that happen. Parker wis next Michigan
fans posting asking if MSU fans are even excited for
the football season in July, they are thinking about us
in July. October twenty fifth, MSU money line book it
Smith officially wins the fan base over those fans are
the most arrogant bunch of dipshits. I swear you know

(33:02):
Parker is just venting about something's there. Here we go, We.

Speaker 2 (33:05):
Are here for you for this. This is the way
it works in every righte well, many rivalries, and it's
you know, people like seeing the rivals suffer as much
as they are like winning themselves. And that goes for
Michigan State fans with Michigan. That goes for Michigan fans
of Michigan State. I mean, it is just it is,

(33:28):
it goes for politics. I mean, you know, people like
seeing people suffer. It is not our best character. Trait
is a world and it's the way the sports exists
and is, and people are obsessed with their rivals, even
if they say they're.

Speaker 3 (33:43):
Not scott U. MSU football needs to add some high
quality non conference opponents. Jay Batt has added Tennessee and
Alabama to Georgia Tech's non conference schedule on top of
already playing Georgia every year. Well, we see some new
teams like Tennessee, Auburn or even Arkansas schedule, will they
be added to the schedule? Currently there is the Notre

(34:04):
Dame series in twenty six and twenty seven, and then
nothing but directional Michigan schools scheduled beyond that.

Speaker 2 (34:10):
So to Scott's point, like part of what makes college
football great is matchups you don't always see now. The
Big Ten is full of teams from the West Coast now,
and you're only gonna see team so often. So you
know you're gonna get some of that in conference when
USC visits, when UCLA visits at Washington, although they in
Michigan state, it's about sick of Washington at this point,
But you get the point. You want these things to

(34:34):
be something that people want to schedule. Indiana fans, yeah,
they may have an easier track toward more wins, but
they've got shittier games to show up to, and you're
beating up on Western Illinois and everything. It is fun.
I mean, college football isn't always about just the end
of the rainbow. It's always always been about the journey.
It's about that Saturday, it's about the big game. You
talk to people who were at the Oregon Michigan State
game at East Lansing in twenty fifteen and what an

(34:57):
epic scene that was and an that was, and there
have been other nights throughout like those games going away, Like,
we don't want to ever create a system that doesn't
encourage those games or punishes those games even worse, because
that should be part of the fabrica college football. Cool games.
Teams coming in from other places that you don't normally see.

(35:18):
You want to encourage that. You want to encourage that
on home campus sites, home and home series, all that stuff.
And so I hope that is part of the plan,
and I hope that's not something that is you know,
the Playoff Committee doesn't understand really really matters, like if,
for example, if you're Indian, if you're Michigan State and
you play a good you know, say you play Auburn

(35:41):
good you know, or mid tier SEC team and you
lose that game and Indiana beats Western Illinois, like it
doesn't matter what you did. If they play Western Illinois
and that's their equivalent of Auburn, they should be punished
the same way you are for that loss. I mean,
that's just such a chicken shit move. That stuff drives
me nuts. You want great rivalries in crowds football, you

(36:03):
want great matchups. I mean, that's part of the fun
of these Saturdays and these you know nobody likes, I
mean Youngstown State and that stuff. Nobody wants that. I
agree here, and I hope there are some good, good
games at Spartan Stadium, and I hope the system doesn't
punish teams for scheduling like that.

Speaker 3 (36:23):
Mister neurotic pants number one. I think MSU will win
six games this season, and that one additional win will
make the season so much more enjoyable and exciting than
the felony loving that made up the end of last season.
Two big take, jd Vance is a robot, and he
won't be able to convince me otherwise. Not humans just
in a I guy his running robots, fucking couches. I

(36:46):
don't see it. I think that's really him. Tom Cruise,
I've always thought he's an alien. Tom Brady looks like
he's a little alien ish. Yeah, I could see that,
but Tom Cruise, for sure, if you told me, if
I like I went to New Post dot Com tomorrow
and it's like Tom Cruise admitted alien I'd like, I thought,
so got that one right? Yeah, yeah, Tom Dragnowski. If

(37:09):
the recent reports are true, MSU Hockey at Hockey adding
Porter Martoni is the best case outcome after losing out
to McKenna and having Ike Howard turn pro great job
by the staff to get that done. What they do
to get it done, I don't know, I haven't. I mean,
what do you have to do to talk to someone
that was top ten in the NHL draft.

Speaker 2 (37:30):
Well, here's what's happening is is these guys used to
just be in Canadian juniors. They didn't have the ability.
Once you decided to go to the Canadian junior route,
you did not have the ability to then also play
college hockey. So this wasn't an option before before now,
and and so I think those players are seeing that
it's a it's a good development path, it's a good

(37:51):
maturity path, it's a good option. In Michigan State is
a place right now that is seen as a place
that you can you can help yourself by being there
for a year. And more important than anything is the
NHL club see it that way. But that was a
big problem for you number of years, is that you know,
to land the top people, it's not just about them

(38:12):
loving the campus or seeing the coach's vision of winning.
It's about you know their career. Because some of these
top guys are presumed draft picks or already draft picks,
and you know, those clubs have to feel like they're
in a place where those advisors have to feel like
they're in a place that gets them where they need
to go and develop them the way they need to
be developed.

Speaker 3 (38:32):
Thornton Mellon next MSU basketball will have three guys shooting
better than thirty eight percent from three on volume this
year book it too. Had Kerr redshirted, he'd be All
Freshman team this season and three Ford will exceed expectations
and we will have two starters named All Conference by
the end of the year.

Speaker 2 (38:53):
So if MSU has three guys shooting better than thirty
eight percent from three on vault, volume is the key,
because you know, you can have guys who aren't take
you know, at fear threes, it doesn't really matter who
they are. If you get three guys who make well,
I'm saying, like Fears last year, he didn't shoot that many. Oh,
you get the correct correct, that's what you're saying. Yeah, yeah,

(39:14):
if you get three guys who make fifty or more
threes at thirty eight percent or better, you're gonna be
a really good team.

Speaker 3 (39:21):
Naddie. I just I just yeah, that is that second
one for is though, you know, I don't know if
it will be that, but no pressure guys the way
they I think they'll defend and rebound. I think it'll
that would put them in a really good place. Sparti barb.
Next number one, Liz Frank is pronounced Liz Frank. Two.
The injury to the midfoot is named after Jacques liz

(39:42):
franc de Saint Martine, a French surgeon who served in
Napoleon's army and performed multiple foot amputations at the midfoot.

Speaker 2 (39:50):
Which is even worse. Why did they name that after that?
That's awful, just cutting at the midfoot? Yeah, jocks, what
the fuck?

Speaker 3 (39:57):
Man? Three The two MSU offensive linemen went out with
this injury. I'm so sorry. I bet three. Two MSU
offensive lineman went out with this injury last season. One
was a starter that went out in the first game
of the season, and the other was his replacement and bonus.
Liz Frank needs to be banned from all Spartan venues. Agreed. No,

(40:19):
there should be no place for Liz. She needs to
get out. You remember that.

Speaker 2 (40:22):
Time, What were we doing? What did you have on
you that went off that time where we thought there
was the exact same thing.

Speaker 3 (40:27):
It's my my diabetic monitor that it's a glucose monitor. Okay,
is it totally fine? It just it. If it doesn't
get a reading or something, it'll go off by bead.

Speaker 2 (40:37):
I should have had it done. No, No, I had
it on silence. No, we don't want you to die.
We needed you need to know if you're totally get that.
But it was not one a part of that quickly
the story that if people missed it from the time
that you had it on before we came into this
place and we heard this beeping like it felt like
it was in the ceiling somewhere.

Speaker 3 (40:55):
It was a constant beep. It was It wasn't a beep.
It was like a I don't even know how to
describe it. It's like a straight like that sound. And
I had just that day, it was my first day
having the device. After I went to the doctor and
I got it from Walgreens. I did the whole thing,
so it was my first full day wearing it. Well,

(41:16):
they didn't explain to me that when the device is empty,
when it's out of insulin, because that's what it does
it It talks to my phone and it regulates my
blood sugar and when it goes high, it can tell.
It can tell whether or not I need insulin. I
give myself insolent, blah blah blah. Well, when that runs
out of insulin, apparently it makes that terrible sound to
let you know that it's over. And I didn't know

(41:39):
why on earth anything that you would wear like that
would need to sound like this. So it was constantly
that beaping, long beating sound, just beep, and I'm walking
around and it's very faint, so I'm in here and
I'm like, what it sounds like a fire alarm. So
you were not here yet, of course, because you know
Grandma's to show up forty five minutes late. So I

(42:00):
and walking around trying to find this fucking fire alarm
or whatever alarm that's in the studio here because it
can't be me because it's right here, and I would
figure I would be able to tell. But honestly, no
one really explained to me that that long sound was
gonna be the warning sign. So I'm going around and
so I end up going over to Jimmy Oh no.

Speaker 2 (42:20):
It's funny. I show up before you went to Jimmy John.
So we're both. I mean, I didn't catch it out.
It didn't sound like it was coming from you either,
like we were. But the problem you were here after
I went to either.

Speaker 3 (42:29):
You know, you went to Jimmy John. Tell it okay,
So sorry, you were sitting outside there outside the studio.
You were outside doing the Twitter questions or something. I
had gone over to grab a Jimmy John sandwich. That's
when we figured it out when I came back when well,
because I went over there and the guy's like, what
is that noise? And I'm like, I know, man, over here,

(42:50):
I'm over here across the street. We do a podcast
over there. I don't enough couch the room and he's like,
hey what and I'm like, oh uh, but anyway, so
we have a fire alarm apparently over there, won't. I
can't figure out where it's coming from. So he's like yeah,
and he's like, that's so grazy. What is that sound?
And so anyway, I grabbed my sandwich because that guy
doesn't care is probably shift was over. He's getting out
of there. So I come back over and then you're

(43:11):
sitting here. I'm like, yeah, dude, you hear. He's like,
what is that noise? Couch says that. I'm like, no, no, no, no, no,
you got it backwards. So we were looking for it together,
but I was following you around, so the sound wasn't
going anywhere because I was just basically where you were. Correct.

Speaker 2 (43:24):
What happened was you then left for Jimmy John to
go get your sandwich, and I was sitting out there
and so when you left, the sign or detail it
just left. The sound went away. Yeah, And so then
you came back and that's when we started a piece.
You did say, yes, that's true. So then I came
back and you said, well, when you were gone, the
sound went away. We didn't put those together.

Speaker 3 (43:42):
So the maintenance person, because I'm sitting there going like,
I'm asking Jeff Hewer, I'm texting him and like, you guys,
you know of any fire alarm or anything like that,
and he's like, no, I don't, So that he ended
up calling the maintenance person down here. As soon as
the maintenance person gets here, they're just disgusted. You could
tell the look on their face, like what is going on?
And by that time I had figured out it was
my diabetic device that I was wearing, and I had

(44:05):
to look at this person. I was like, I'm really
really sorry, but you had to come all the way
down here, and now I know exactly what that alarm
is for now, so I apologize.

Speaker 2 (44:16):
So I thought the building was coming down. It was
a story we're telling, presented by our friends at Midtown
Brewing Company, and sorry it was backwards, no, I yeah.

Speaker 3 (44:25):
Anyway.

Speaker 2 (44:26):
By the way, at Midtown Brewing Company, their next theme
trivia night pop culture theme Trivia Thursday, July thirty first,
seven o'clock nineties pop culture theme trivia nineties pop culture.
So you're of our age and you love nineties pop culture,
Great time to put a team together. Call to reserve
a table for your friends on July thirty first. It
is five one, seven, nine, seven, seven, thirteen forty nine.

(44:49):
You can go see their post ward as well on
Facebook at Midtown Brewing Company on Facebook and play some
nineties three theme trivia on July thirty.

Speaker 3 (44:57):
First, John Howard next, losing streak always happened in baseball,
and I'm glad that it happened for happen now for
the Tigers to show Glary needs before the trade deadline. Yeah,
I guess it wasn't as bad as others. I'd mix games,
but I'd like to think.

Speaker 2 (45:13):
The GMS, you know, somebody who's running a baseball team
would know it without needing.

Speaker 3 (45:18):
To see it. No, they got to see it. Yeah, yeah, fans,
he gets to Major League Baseball. You just wait until
you see it and then react. David Jackson next that
Tony Pettiti urged the NCAA to not punish Michigan, knowing
full well it was the nine Big Ten schools on
Michigan schedule each year who were the primary victims of

(45:39):
the cheating. Tells me the Big Ten doesn't give a
fuck about its member schools other than Michigan and Ohio State.

Speaker 2 (45:48):
You know, this is what's happening here is Tony Patiti
though it's his job. I mean, he works for the
commissioner or sorry, he works for the school presidents. He
works for the league, he works for the league members.
He's trying to. I mean his job is at this
point to mitigate damage from Michigan. What's interesting here is
there are a lot of teams within the Big ten
that would probably like the team Michigan fall pretty hard.

(46:08):
But I did find that interesting that he's doing that.
I you know, I.

Speaker 3 (46:13):
Come to the blue wall.

Speaker 2 (46:15):
Yeah, it's uh, but I don't know that the NCAA
listen either.

Speaker 3 (46:19):
We'll see.

Speaker 2 (46:20):
The one thing I do like that Tony Petiti is
doing is causing enough ruckus with the SEC that it
looks like we're going to keep a twelve team playoff,
which is my preferred total. So it looks like for
a couple of years we'll still have.

Speaker 3 (46:29):
That big John Hogg next number one, I was wrong
about Scottie. I'm an idiot. Won't see anyone this dominant
for a while. Two never got an answer from east Lick.
I'm gonna go egg. The Channel five studios don't do that.
Three up North is great, but is getting oversaturated by
fips and fops and Metro detroiters don't have as much

(46:51):
wiggle room as we used to have. It's Illinois and
Ohio people, right is after this hips and fops?

Speaker 2 (46:56):
Yeah, yeah, No, that's not I mean, it's it sucks
the's other states. I don't have good things though, so
they come up here. They don't have lakes, they don't
have just not get.

Speaker 3 (47:04):
To surprise more people from Indiana just just don't move here, right.
You can imagine living in Indiana. Fuck Spartan Johnny watching
Scotti cook with some tiger ass shit. Watching him take
his hat off on eighteen with that wicked male pattern baldness.
Also tiger ass shit made me wish the dude had
a buzz cut. Bro looked like Squiggy from laverneon Shirley,

(47:26):
which for the non mid forties crowd, off it and bonus,
my summer vacation is over and I'm back to work.
In my opinion, this is the second most depressing part
of the year, besides post Super Bowl. Waiting for March
Madness helped my mind survive the next few weeks until football. Dudes,
give me something.

Speaker 2 (47:45):
Leaga MX Mexican soccer. You know there's some Tennis Masters
Series tournaments in Toronto, There's one in DC this week.

Speaker 3 (47:53):
Three m golf tournament in Minnesota this weekend.

Speaker 2 (47:56):
Yeah, there's you know, women's euro soccer going on this week,
the Semis and the finals. It's Tigers, the tight Yeah, yeah, yeah,
there's stuff. It's just yeah, you're right, it's not it's
it's a little depressing at times.

Speaker 3 (48:08):
And Squiggy from lavernon Shirley. I think you need to
go more than mid forties, right, fifty year old people?

Speaker 2 (48:15):
Yeah, yeah, I mean I remember the reruns of Lavern
and Shirley. They were on in the eighties, but the
original Lavern and Shirley was ten years ahead of us,
like when it was on Live right, yeah. Dave Barwalde next.
The Scheffler Tiger comparisons couldn't be more. Off Woods was
a phenomenal athlete who powered his game and life emotionally.
Scotty is a cerebral cat who thrives by staying in

(48:37):
the moment and perfecting his technique.

Speaker 3 (48:39):
Technique. Scheffler could live in your neighborhood anonymously.

Speaker 2 (48:43):
There's something so my opinion on Scotty Scheffler's over here
was Scotty Scheffler was the guy who played too slowly
at one point that people complained about him. Right, It
wasn't him, was it Shoffley? Who's the guy that people
were really Sander doesn't. Yeah, Xander kind of golf slow,
can't lay Pat is massively slow. Yeah, Okay, it's not.

Speaker 3 (49:00):
Scheffler's really never had that. He's got the swing with
the feet movement where people are so mesmerized by it.

Speaker 2 (49:06):
Anyways, I gotta say, and this is again the most
entertaining thing I saw this weekend, presented by our friends
at Infinity and Comcast. I mean, I mean, Scheffler was
there's something calming, Like it's almost like when I watch
him play golf, it's like I'm an infant, a baby

(49:27):
and a mother is rubbing my chest or something like that,
you know what I mean. Like, I just feel good.
And I had a little bet on him at plus
four sixty. I don't know, Like there's something about the
way he plays golf that is soothing to me. Yeah,
and I appreciate, well, when you have an outright winter
ticket is easier.

Speaker 3 (49:43):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (49:44):
I think that's it. I think I need to always
have an outright winter ticket on Scotti. Scheffler the most
entertaining thing I saw this weekend, presented by our friends
at Comcast and Exfinity. By the way, Comcast Infinity is
upping its game with no contract. Options for sports and connectivity,
the new Sports and TV News Package available for Exfinity customers,
pitching fifty plus broadcast news and sports channels everything from

Go to Exfinity dot com. Shop around see the best

(50:26):

they do is if you want an Exfinity Mobile, you'll
find beyond competitive. You'll find better deals Exfinity Mobile than
you will with like Verizon and others with the same

(50:47):
coverage area. So go to Exfinity dot com and check
those out.

Speaker 3 (50:50):
Professor Next, maybe it's the Dave Dombrowski and me, but
jettison any prospects you need to find one starter to
stud relievers and a right handed bat and baked Going
to an event and not being able to sit in
any empty seat is lame. Why would you not allow
fans to sit in empty seats in the shade when
it's ninety degrees out. What did this happen? What was
the man?

Speaker 2 (51:11):
I'm guessing a Tiger's game. Yeah, yeah, I won't go
to a day game. Somebody who's texting me the today
about going to a Tiger's game. It's got to be
a Tuesday or Wednesday night. It's got to be a
good seat, and it's got to be evening.

Speaker 3 (51:21):
Are they offering you free tickets? No?

Speaker 2 (51:23):
Uh no, yeah, I just not. I don't like to
bake and I don't like to go. The crowds are
getting big, which is great now, but I need to
go midweek. That's that's my time, Tuesday and Wednesday.

Speaker 3 (51:32):
Nights, preferably if Schoobl's pitching right that too. Anything else,
pampered ass, I don't need any of that. I just
if I'm out with the ballpark experience. I just don't
want to be crowded. I don't want to be hot,
and I don't want to have a sun on me.
Just stay home, MCA. The Tigers should never play a
game broadcasted on ESPN again if they care about their
own fans viewing experience. Hearing the announcers talk about how

(51:54):
Scooble is going to be playing for the Mets, Yankees
or Dodgers in eighteen months made watching the game insufferable.

Speaker 2 (52:02):
I do think that's one of those memos too. And
I get that they're serving a much bigger audience than
Tigers fans, but by the same token, they know Tigers
fans are a big part of the audience because when
the game ends, what does Sports Center do? They immediately
show broadcast though, yeah, but they immediately showed Tiger's highlights,
which no national people want to see. They're doing it
because they're trying to capture the audience that was just

(52:23):
on the game, which is largely Tigers fans or a
lot of Tigers fans. I get why they do it,
but they need to understand that this is a touchy
subject with Tigers fans, a frustrating subject, and we just
don't need to hear anymore people know it. If you've
got to bring it up once in a while, that's fine.

Speaker 3 (52:38):
I haven't heard many people talk about it nationally though,
of school ball possibly going to another team, I don't know.
I get what you're saying, but I don't think it's
a bad thing to have a nationally tele of, especially
on Sunday Night Baseball. Yep, I love Sunday Night. I
mean the old school Joe Morgan, Johnny Miller, Sunday Night Baseball.
So it's just fun to watch them on that, like
the when they're on Apple TV. Like I get you're saying,

(53:01):
I understand Scotti, Green's El Camino. Next. Number one betting
on baseball is ass Home run parlays are just giving
your money away and to get any good odds and
need like a three or four leg hit parlay. The
NBA is more predictable and easier to make money on.
That is a hot take. That's a hot one right there.
So in no particular order, the worst organizations in history

(53:23):
are the Nazis, KKK Michigan Alumni Association, and Central Michigan University.
And Baked Couch likes Coldplay. So I would tell you
if I did.

Speaker 2 (53:34):
I mean, I like lots of things that are I mean,
I just told you on this show that I win
this Gavroche and and and I still love Gavroche. I mean,
I you know, one of the hardest things about my
voice be worried about cold Play was I would, Yeah,
I would. I could no longer dream of playing Gvroge
on Broadway. The Coldplay has some bank some bangers though. No,
I'm not anti good. I just I wouldn't. I would
recognize cold Play songs, but you would have to tell

(53:56):
me it was a cold Play song.

Speaker 3 (53:57):
I wouldn't.

Speaker 2 (53:57):
If you told me to name a cold Play song,
you can't do it.

Speaker 3 (54:00):
I don't believe that. I feel if I played one
for you you could. Yeah, yeah, do you know what
to talk? I didn't know that was gold Play? You
did it well more on that ship. That's really good.

(54:24):
That's really good. Wasn't any words him? Hell Bundy.

Speaker 2 (54:30):
Betting on baseball, I mean, I think one of baseball's
challenges is it's a hard sport to bet, and and
people like but.

Speaker 3 (54:36):
Maybe throw in some total bases. But to say the
NBA is easy, I mean, KAMAI, the n b A
is crazy.

Speaker 2 (54:42):
NBA is really hard to bet because they make up
points so quickly. Points spreads are more difficult. College college
sports are easier to bet than than the process.

Speaker 3 (54:49):
I've had more fun betting baseball when you take out
the home run aspect of it all, do total bases
or hits or like with schoobl last night, I added
uh for a single game parl even though it lost,
but Schooble seven strikeouts. Now it's minus three thirty. But
you add a couple total bases with a couple different
guys or something like that. I just think when you

(55:09):
add the home run thing the element, it's just but
it'll juice the odds, but it's a kind of a
waste of your time. Max next Couch and the Rubes
saves Detroit Media. Lows has to be a fan. His
Sunday column about Dan Campbell and the Lions was pretty good,
the most unlost column ever. He's listening, guys, keep up
the good work. Who knows, maybe Wojo will come out

(55:31):
from behind the blue wall. I did not read it,
but what Lows? Yeah, I have to go back and
read it. But I mean, the challenge Lows has is
like it's it's kind of the boycred wolf. People recognize
the Lows column, the rost like Lows headline, and they don't.
They don't read it at all.

Speaker 2 (55:46):
Even when he writes a good one, he may have
written many good ones. That's that's the challenge. And I
have actually read some of his that are pretty good.
He's not he's not like a bad writer. He's that's
never been his his his issue. And since he's in
our company, maybe we'll fix it and post and forget.
What's this issue? Well, it's just a little this boy
that cried wolf. Yeah, he just bullshit. It's it's a

(56:08):
little it's a little goat. You know, he's trying to
poke the bear a little too much. I like to
poke the bear, but it's a it's a little too
obvious a little too often, I think is the way.

Speaker 3 (56:17):
But Steve Bett's Next. I appreciate the ninety two one
ticket memory Jack Evelyn with Tom Crawford, Mad Dog Velenni.
Fred Human did great interviews with his Detroit connections. Whoa wait,
Fred fred Human was on ninety two won the ticket
as well. I missed that part. What a cat, Yeah,
I believe I felt all of Fred Human. Holy shit,

(56:37):
what a lineup the Honda Carpenter of Southern Main. Next,
if you're over the age of fourteen and you call
into a sports talk show, there's a ninety nine percent
chance you're an insult. I gotta say those numbers seem accurate.

Speaker 2 (56:53):
Uh, I don't listen to a lot of sports talk,
but I feel I'm a little concerned that I'm more
insulting the I mean, because how different is doing these
these twitter takes and questions then?

Speaker 3 (57:07):
But these are more thought out and they have to
type them out, and you have to, you know, you
send these in. If you're sitting there, you're just off
the top of your head sometimes, you know, And to
be honest with you, when you're sitting there on hold,
it is kind of nerve wracking, right when you hear
that glass breakthrough, and like you get kind of nervous.

Speaker 2 (57:22):
Is the last time you called into sports suck show?
Oh my god, you're over fourteen.

Speaker 3 (57:29):
I'm sure that's all I did when I was fifteen sixteen,
I'd skip school and call one on one sport or
uh what was sporting news radio. I'd sit there from
a payphone and call. When he undered, whatever have you
done it since you turned down? Well, not without pranking,
prank calling. I mean, yeah, no, I can't say that
I have well, I mean, Matt, no, not even mad.

Speaker 2 (57:50):
If you ever had a really bad experience where it
was embarrassing and it didn't go well.

Speaker 3 (57:55):
Well, they did ban me when I was fifteen and sixteen,
because I was I was so young and I sounded young.
I had to they had to ask my father's like,
I had to take the phone up. One of the
producers was like, we can't let you on anymore, man,
And I was so devastated. So my dad was upstairs
and he like heard me like wailing not about it,
like I was so bummed, and he had to end
up talking to one of the producer Guys, Well, listen,

(58:15):
my son's fifteen. He's got nothing else going on, you know.
Can you just no prospect in life? Right? Like, you know,
he barely likes school. This is the only thing he
gravitates towards. There's no you know, women in his life
or you know girls, So like, could you just let
him call into the show? Oh? Absolutely? But they had
to like, yeah, I would constantly call in. That is
the story we're telling present of our friends at Mittown Brounk.

(58:36):
But when you start doing the stouch like I just
never you know, when you start doing it when you're
eighteen and stuff like that, I don't know, I'm not
above it, but I just didn't call into other shows
very often. Gotcha uh DMB next number one. Michigan fans
absolutely deserve Justin Spiro, But my god, some of his
videos are a bit concerning. Maybe he's the hero we
need but don't deserve. It's time to punish those scumback

(59:00):
and move on. And Bonus Couch should honor his tattoo
bet for the white story. Considering he's going to federal
prison and the school is on the hook for billions
in lawsuits. I'm thinking a nice face tat for more
lancing street cred. Yeah, I don't want the Mike Tyson
face tat. Don't go crazy, but how about a little
tear drop? Yeah, right in the corner of the eye. Now,

(59:21):
but people think you murdered somebody if he did that, No, ship,
that's street cred. That's not yeah right, I think it's
too obvious. I think that was street cred thirty years ago.
I think now it's like maybe still you show up
with a tear tatty Yeah, anywhere you get just instant respect.

Speaker 2 (59:39):
That would be something if I did it, Yes, sure
of that being your only tattoo. Spiro is committed to
the cause, there's no question about that. Like his his timeline,
he is and he has receipts and he is passionate
about it. There's no doubt. There's no doubt about it.
Gotta love the passion. No, And look, it's not like
he's not I mean he doesn't. He's not just spewing
off like he has. What always cracks me up as

(01:00:02):
people come at him and he's got a receipt for
something they said six years ago. And it's remarkable. Solari's
got some of that in him too, Like we're like,
you don't like all of us on the Beat are
well aware that Solari's ability to comb social media for
that photo of you when you were twenty two years
old that you don't want out there things very capable

(01:00:24):
of it. So you never you never pushed Salari over
the edge.

Speaker 3 (01:00:26):
That's the key. How scary, Oh my god, Slari found
that picture of me Sinner's Dog ninety seven Alan Haller
degrading MSU's brand by bending over backwards to please Patity,
only for Petiti to not give him any return favors
and argue against Michigan getting a fair punishment by the
COI just goes to show that just because you're a

(01:00:47):
good person and talk to certain Beat writers regularly doesn't
mean you're good at the job. You had. At least
Judas got thirty pieces of silver for his troubles. Is
that Matt's c oh no sinners dog? Yeah, yeah, no.

Speaker 2 (01:01:01):
Look, it's it's clear that the component of the job
in terms of donor relations that that is important was
something where Haller fell short. I think there was also
a uh, petulessness that's not even a word, yeah child

(01:01:22):
to some of the donors. And the way they like
put it this way, Jay Batt has it a lot
easier than Haller. Certain things Haller said. Haller hired a
football coach. Haller made a lot of hires uh in
non revs and and and in hockey and other things
that are going pretty well, so he gets to come
in and build those relationships. But if the first thing
Jay Batt had to do was come in and hire

(01:01:44):
a football coach, and here's our man Matt Ishbie over here,
who just traded for badly Bradley Beal and then had
to buy out the contract and doesn't always make the
best decisions in terms of building a team, and it's
fired a couple of coaches already and all that stuff.
With his idea for what coach they should hire. Jay
Batt would have to deal with how to massage that situation,

(01:02:06):
and obviously Haller just basically saying I'm going to do
it on my own my way didn't work out for
and I'm not sure if you just take that away,
if it would have mattered eventually. Anyway, I'm not sure Deskowitz,
the new president was was that had a ton of

(01:02:28):
faith in him, at least by the end. The question
is if Hallard had simply acquiesced to whatever matt Isshbia wanted,
and maybe that's the Maybe that's the job, I don't
think it is. Would he still be around and would
have funds been you know, I think there were some
other issues in fundraising as I've learned since, But I

(01:02:50):
you know, Hallard did a lot of good things, but
he wasn't the complete a d and they needed a
different person I think right now for the job at
hand in a critical moment. But I think he also
handled some really tough decisions and made some really good
hires and did some good things.

Speaker 3 (01:03:08):
You know that. I think Jay.

Speaker 2 (01:03:11):
Batt's job is easier because Alan Haller was there, and
I don't think they're in that bad a spot.

Speaker 3 (01:03:17):
Maddy be next number one. If I'm Kaitlin Clark, I'm
leaving the WNBA by the end of Monday. Under the
day Monday. Just getting dragged by your fellow colleagues has
to get old. Then Bonus. Dan Wetzel is a show
and Tony Pettiti is weak. Will get that return favor
any day now from the conference.

Speaker 2 (01:03:37):
Kaitlyn Clark's not leaving the WNBA. No, but it is,
it is. Some of the shots at her are just
it's it's it's a bit much. I just the jealousy is.
And I understand the frustration of you know, a league
that played good basketball before her and all that stuff,
But man, she is just she's elevating your league, your
TV deals, the money that's going to be coming in
league wide has only been helped by her expansion. Just

(01:03:59):
be grateful for it. And and yeah there look in
every realm. I mean, what's that movie with Damon Wayans
and it was the Great White Hype and yeah, oh yeah, wow,
little blast from the past. Yeah, I'm just saying this
ship has existed forever and there's no doubt. And although
this time it was other white women coming at her,
but like I, I mean, I get the frustration, I do,

(01:04:22):
But what.

Speaker 3 (01:04:22):
White chicks are coming after? Now? Did you see the
press conference the other day? It was I missed it. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:04:27):
It was about those shirts and about how that whole
thing came together. And somebody said, wow, there weren't a
lot of people from team Clark there now team Kelsey Plum.

Speaker 3 (01:04:34):
Yeah, because that is interesting because Kelsey Plum before Caitlyn
Clark was kind of like Caitlyn Clark, right, because she
scored a lot of points. I heard this from Dan
Patrick this morning about how Kelsey so I can understand
Kelsey Plums probably hates Kaitlyn Clark because Kelsey Plum was
kind of like Caitlyn Clark without the threes, right, little
on a bunch of points. Yeah. No, it was an
interesting comment. It was it was unnecessary. I thought, Andy,

(01:04:57):
I never watched golf before, but it was either watched
Scotty win big or watch the Microsoft Excel Championships. Football
can't come soon enough, that said Scheffler, seems awesome. What
kind of legacy are we talking here? Is this just
a great golfer or Tiger level greatness emerging? And bonus
injuries absolutely deserve more credit for MSU football falling apart

(01:05:18):
at the end of last year. Yes, you need depth,
but expecting a first year coach to have depth after
Tucker is ludicrous and double bonus does Jeremy Fears Junior's
jaw as much in Big Ten play as he does
at moneyball. Mike him up. Very entertaining and triple bonus.
Evan Boyd is better than everyone expects.

Speaker 2 (01:05:38):
Jimmy Feerce has a lot of what you see. I mean,
he jaws more in the Big Ten that he doesn't
Moneyball and Moneyball. It's just a little more playful. He
gets into people's heads, he gets in there. There's an
edge to Jeremy Fears that I think as long as
his game continues to grow, you need a guy like that.
You probably can't have, you know, four guys like that,

(01:05:59):
but it's not a bad thing to have as your
point guard.

Speaker 3 (01:06:04):
For sure.

Speaker 2 (01:06:04):
Yeah, you're right on the injuries like I but it's
still you can have injuries and you cannot lose forty
one to fourteen to Rutgers in the year and there's
you know, those two things can can can both exist.
Kevin from Rochester Hill so he asked questions, this Tiger level.
Oh yeah, we answered that, Yeah, there's a long way

(01:06:24):
to go by thirty five years old. If he's over
eight and he's still playing at this level, If he's
winning a major every year and he's over eight majors
at thirty five years old, we will start looking at it.

Speaker 3 (01:06:36):
I mean, there are some parallels, you know, in a
four year span of what Tiger did in his first
four years on the PGA Tour. But I mean as
a whole, no way, Kevin from Rochester Hills Number one,
Scotty Scheffler will never be Tiger. There we go too.
Scotty is a nickname for a ten year old. And three,
no one cares about the WNBA except Graham.

Speaker 2 (01:06:56):
Well and the ratings people do, because yeah, people get
in this. And and I do think years from now,
like the WNBA is having a moment right now and
and this is this is it's gonna be a league
that's that makes money, that's self funded. The salaries are
going to change. And I do think all this drama
right now, while it may seem and I just said

(01:07:17):
unnecessary the other day, I do think it's good for
the I think it needs. Some of it created a
soap opera that people want.

Speaker 3 (01:07:24):
People.

Speaker 2 (01:07:24):
Look, my wife, My wife just watched like sixty four
episodes of Love Island.

Speaker 3 (01:07:28):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:07:29):
I mean, like the ship people, and she's like an
intelligent woman. The ship people watch and want the drama.

Speaker 3 (01:07:33):
Like it's I was about to say, what does that
have to do with I'm just saying, now you watch
the WNBA.

Speaker 2 (01:07:37):
I'm saying, even intelligent people want low brow entertainment, and
the WNBA is giving that right now. And so that's
that's hey us, what you owe us. I don't know
if that's great entertainment. I mean if you want to
sit there and have some of the players dislike Caitlyn Clark,
I mean that wasn't bad because now Caitlyn Clark has
an enforcer. You're trying to start that kind of like
I didn't mind that stuff. It's just the off the
court stuff, and people are going to be, you know,

(01:08:00):
off by some of the pay us what you owe us?
And are they talking about a lot about how they
should make the same amount as the NBA players. No,
but I mean you still are talking about a league
that people still view as it's not making money. And
why are we getting all ahead of ourselves. You know, well,
but the finances are very different than they were, and
that's why it's trending upwards.

Speaker 3 (01:08:20):
But if you're sitting there and as you're trending upwards,
going pay us what you owe us, it's you're going like,
what what are you guys talking about? I don't know,
you're losing everybody. I don't know if it was necessary.
You have a great thing going with momentum, with Page Beckers,
Caitlin Clark and other athletes that are fun to watch,
but then our people are just going to be so
turned off by the extracurricular stuff in it and then
wonder why it fails. I hate it, Skyler Verdon. I

(01:08:42):
can't enjoy Scotti Scheffler winning because he's already so accomplished.
The only thing left for him is to chase Tiger
for the title of greatest of all time. But whenever
that comparison gets made, you get a whole bunch of
whiny people yelling he'll never be as good as Tiger.

Speaker 2 (01:08:56):
I think let's just all agree if he's eight by
thirty five, well, because because Tiger did it for so
long and was so dominant. I mean, there are traits
of dominance that we haven't seen since since Tiger Woods
in terms of, like, you know, the guys playing around
him don't can't keep up, and he's just better than
and it's it's yeah, it's it's unbelievable.

Speaker 3 (01:09:15):
Some dude, damn you, Jason for making me think differently
about the Lions curse of Bobby Lane. We've all felt
better in the past few years because they're good, like
really good in a substantial way. Maybe not cursed, but man,
the way they bowed out the last two seasons makes
me think maybe they're as cursed as ever. Well, fifteen

(01:09:36):
wins it's hard to I mean, but yeah, that first
round bow out or the you know, after the bye
and getting your ass handed to you by Washington.

Speaker 2 (01:09:43):
Seems like a different kind of curse right now.

Speaker 3 (01:09:45):
Yeah, yeah, and then getting there, you know, one quarter
away or one half from a Super Bowl, you know,
in San Fan.

Speaker 2 (01:09:52):
If this group, I mean, yeah, the curse will exist.
If this group doesn't get it done in the next
couple of years. Peyton Manning, we blame him. When don't
we start blaming Peyton man though? Why Why would Peyton
Manny be blamed?

Speaker 3 (01:10:03):
Because all of a sudden he got us and he
and Jeff Daniels, or all of a sudden, Oh the
curses lifted. Oh thanks Peyton Manning for lifting the curse. Like,
I haven't done anything yet. We want to won a
super Bowl. So if we end up not and we
all of a sudden, this window does close, we do
not win a super Bowl. I'm mad at Peyton Manning
and Jeff Daniels. I like Daniels. He's a good guy.
It's for Michigan. Uh, Daniel R. Patterson Next. Big Three

(01:10:25):
basketball was a cool event this weekend in Detroit. How
does Big three fit in the pro basketball landscape? Chris
Allen had a good game. How many Spartans play in
the Big Three?

Speaker 2 (01:10:35):
I don't know, and you know, I look. Some people
like it. I don't ever watch it. I have very
little interest. Like I don't want to watch half court
basketball number one, and I don't. I just don't have.

Speaker 3 (01:10:45):
Would you watch the guys if they played full court?
Probably not? This right? These things all just come down
to are their players you want to watch? Yeah? Right?
I don't watch Do you want to watch Land Stevens?
Every once in a.

Speaker 2 (01:10:58):
While, I watch the TBT, the you know the tournament
where they you get former college teams that alumni teams
that kind of get together, and I'll watch like the
final of that because a million dollars at stake there
out that's kind of once in a while, you know,
you get to the depth of July July topic time,
you know, and I'll I'll watch one of those games
for a little while.

Speaker 3 (01:11:15):
But even if you put like five million on the
championship game of it, it's still, like you said, it's
half court and you're like, all right for the Big three? Yeah, yeah,
couch on. I mean, if you enjoy it, cool couch
on fire. July time, I was on the same flight
as coach K out of Metro during the Battier signing.
He sat and coach and wore a workout athletic suit

(01:11:35):
while next to each other at baggage claim. I asked
him about Izzo and that maybe we'd meet in a
Final four soon. No, nineteen ninety nine.

Speaker 2 (01:11:43):
Just got a smirk, sat and coach coach K and
coach maybe that's what you got to do with your coach.

Speaker 3 (01:11:49):
I'm kidding. Uh, that's that didn't work. What year was this?

Speaker 2 (01:11:52):
Ninety nine doing writing coach in ninety nine sold out flight.
Something happened. You can give him status. That's weird.

Speaker 3 (01:12:00):
It's in here with you peasants. Oh, it's a good story.
Coach k got bumped. Uh, Jake Haggins. Next number one,
Fox signing Dave Portnoy is a dumb ass move. It's
no way similar to Pat McAfee being on game day
because Portnoy didn't play college or pro football. It's bad enough.
Fox dictates when games will be played, like how they

(01:12:20):
rob Penn State of a night wait out game vers
Ohio State. And two even if I guess when MSU
football becomes good again, keep Dave Portnoy and Fox's big
new kickoff with all their propaganda the hell out of
East Lansing. I'll expect noon games being played on Big
ten network or streaming platform only like Peacock or Paramount
plus three. Great gutsy and grit win from the Tigers

(01:12:44):
last night, but typical ESPN bias being shown again with
them reporting and speculating on Schooble getting four hundred million
from either the Yankees.

Speaker 2 (01:12:52):
Dodgers, or Mets. And now is not the time for
that shit. Jakie's not happy, you know. But if that
is the number, I mean, if the Tigers aren't going
to do that number, then they need to spend it elsewhere,
and they need to explain why.

Speaker 3 (01:13:07):
Yep, I mean that's the pizazz here from Pizza Boy. Yep.

Speaker 2 (01:13:10):
I mean he's a pretty damn special pitcher. So it's
not like the Tigers are broke. They're selling out the stadium.
It's not a small market. It's not a small market,
and don't let anybody tell you it is.

Speaker 3 (01:13:21):
Hans Jerget number one had a chilled cherry cheesecake donut
at Fox's, a local bakery in Nashville. It was so
good I orgasmed in my pants.

Speaker 2 (01:13:30):
I'd be careful. I did not preread Hans's this time,
so I'm a little concerned.

Speaker 3 (01:13:34):
It's impossible. Two Hovey Bayez last got a walk during
the Reagan administration. And three the Epstein files will reveal
the explanation of the Max bullet suspension and nothing else. Bonus,
if I don't have couch in the roob as an
outlet for my vulgarities, I will go mad something. You know,
We try to give you that.

Speaker 2 (01:13:53):
Hans sometimes I have to take a few of them out, like,
you know, like I would say half of what Hans
writes gets you maybe a little.

Speaker 3 (01:14:01):
More than that.

Speaker 2 (01:14:02):
Sometimes it's like that's not the tone we want to set,
you know, even if because because I we do swear
more than I would like. Sometimes because I think about
like you're you're listening to a podcast in your car
with like your four year old, and there's.

Speaker 3 (01:14:12):
Well, what the fuck are you doing with a four
year old listening to this podcast in the car. You've
got to know what's going on anyway, right, but you
got to have the four it's a six year old,
Well you're in the car, you come on, and we
want people worry about the four year olds.

Speaker 2 (01:14:24):
If their only chance to listen to the podcast is
when they have their six year old in the car,
they shouldn't have to fucking put the air pods in anyway.
But some of the stuff that Han says is even
beyond where you know, you can explain an F bomb,
but you know everything else is it's like, oh my god,
we can't have that.

Speaker 3 (01:14:39):
Speaking of the cherry cheesecake donut, we were in Nashville
and saw the same place I.

Speaker 2 (01:14:44):
Refuse to go hm because of groovy donut. Yea, yeah,
you can't cheat on te He took.

Speaker 3 (01:14:48):
A picture of the place and send it to Andrew Mint.
I'm like, what are you doing. I don't want to
go in. I can't do it. Absolutely not. Upper icture
gay number one. You should do three quick takes of
uh of the show. At the end of every show,
we can't even remember the first half of the show. Yeah,
I told the terrible story about my diabetic thing, got
it all wrong. That's pretty much Take one two. It

(01:15:11):
seems like it's time for the mic to drop off
the arm and spill your drink onto your computer again.

Speaker 2 (01:15:16):
Yeah, I have a freshkick can, but yeah I can.

Speaker 3 (01:15:18):
Yeah, definitely need to get What was the other bit
that you had going on where your laptop charger.

Speaker 2 (01:15:24):
Would fall out? Yeah, I got a new one, and
yeah that was a great bit. And the mic seems
to be hanging on here. I do check it every
day now. It's the first thing I do. I get nervous, sort. Yeah,
we appreciate all of you and hanging with us in July,
and I hope we're not too annoying this month. We'll
be back Friday with your groovy. Don't what day is it? Monday.

(01:15:46):
We'll be back middle of the week. I don't even
know what day it is. We'll be back Wednesday. Today's Monday.
Back Wednesday and we'll talk then. We appreciate uh, we'll
also be back Friday. We appreciate our friends at Xcinity, Comcast,
and of course Midtown Brewing Company. Keeping my nineties theme
trivia at Midtown Brewing Company at the at the end
of the month. July thirty first, Jason, Yeah, good show man,

(01:16:09):
man couch in the room.
