2:07Thank you update kid. It is Carson Anderson and Stoney is in for Anderson today. He said Justin Verland or themed food items for the two-day things. How about 35 cent dogs? Oh I like the way you're thinking. That would be good. 35 cent beer. That would be dangerous. How about fall off the bone hamstrings? Wow. Wow. By the way I picked up the you know the stats for wins active pitchers. Yep. JV's 266 Mac Shers or age 41 222 Garrett Call 161 age 35 and Sonny Gray 141 age 36. There's not a chance that anybody pitching today is going to get to where Verlander is. That's the standard. Look. We make this bad. It's going to take years. See ups. See ups.

3:13I'm going to have to get a delivery. We just made like a 20 year back. What if I was going to be collecting in 2046. All right so this story we found it kind of interesting and fun. Let's say I'll be 87. I'm I'm faith in you. Yeah. Yes. PN's Dan Graziano did a prediction for every team. And he phrased it. The phraseology was don't be surprised if that that that and we'll tell you what it was for the lions. But we want yours for the coming football season. We are on the brink people. Michigan state place tomorrow. Michigan plays in two days. Lions play in what nine days, 10 days. So and if you want to go central Western Eastern, if you're a fan of one of those schools, let's go. If you're a fan of grand Valley or Saginaw

4:18Valley or Wayne State or Ferris, let's go. Don't be surprised if make a prediction about your team. But what Dan Graziano wrote for the Lions and I want you to take on this Michael. Don't be surprised if James and Williams is the team's leading receiver. You're right. It's what I'm hearing. No disrespect to Amon Ross Saint Brown, one of the most consistent pass catchers in the entire league. But I think the Lions offense is going to hum this season and Williams is poised to take the biggest leap for a few years now. The coaching staff has been pushing Williams to expand his route repertoire and contribute as more than just a deep threat and in drew pet sings offense, Williams can be poised to do just that. The Lions schedule of opposing defenses sets up well for Williams. And if he proves himself to be a trustworthy target for Jerrogoff, he could be in for a career year. Well, I think I would buy it if it was yardage because I think that's going to have but as far as actual receptions, I think the Lamon Ross is going to get more catches.

5:20Yeah. In the Laporta factor and it comes to number of receptions. Last year, Amon Ross had almost twice as many catches as James and Williams. 117 to 65. The difference in yardage was only 300 yards. Jamel averaged 17.2 yards per catch. Amon Ross 12. But that is, you know, so it would be a big leap, a big leap for him to catch him in receptions. But what would you have for any of these teams that don't be surprised if the Lions don't be surprised if Kirby Joseph never plays a game ever again. Yeah. Given the vagueness of this injury, it's quite possible and it sucks because he's, you know, he was such a good player, man.

6:22It was such a good player. What I'm fearful is that he rushed back and did more damage, which is always the, you know, a concern. That's just me spitballing. I'm not reporting that. But yeah, wouldn't be shocking. Mine would be, don't be surprised if Scott or Gil Howard has a monster year in the middle of that defensive line. I just think he is such a, his unique skill set has motors. Incredible. It's like he's too small to block and he's great. And I'd spiel and hit the nail in the head in that preseason game. And the more I watched the more he was right, moving north south, but turning your shoulders east west to slip between blocks. He's, he's just slippery to get a hold of. For Michigan, don't be surprised if this is a vintage dominant Michigan offensive line. The returning group, all of them have started. They have 54 combined starts. When it comes to all

7:22things offensive line, I acquiesce to Janssen. Janssen thinks this gym hearting the new offensive line coach is great. He's got an awesome reputation. Additionally, they brought in Doug Elisaya. There's a strength and conditioning coach and every, I mean, Whit always talks about how they had to get stronger, had to get stronger. And their weight gains in the off season were significant. And I don't think it was across the board. But I think the place it will show the most is upfront experience. Everybody started great online coach. Another year of putting on weight with a, with an expressed purpose to do. So I think this Michigan offensive line has a chance to be great. Don't be surprised if Michigan loses the overall turnover margin for the season, but still has a good record. Interesting. You're predicting, why are you predicting the turnover margin? I just don't think their defense of back, especially the linebackers,

8:23I'm going to be able to create as many turnovers and I think underwood is going to make some mistakes. He's not going to be bad, but he stole a young quarterback. I mean, to me last year was just basically complete wash. He's in a completely new system. He's coached and he'll still make some mistakes. So yeah, it's, it's going to be interesting because I think they've tempered expectations a little bit by finishing almost every, every conversation about underwood is we'll see if it translates. See when the lights go on. When the lights go on. Can he and it's a fair question. It's taking it from state street to main street, which is the practice facility in the field. And there are examples of in the past Michigan quarterbacks who've looked great in practice, won the starting job and killed it. And the biggest one was John O'Connor. John O'Connor, they said was great in practice, but it's you get into games and things change. Well, Joe

9:25Milden could throw 80 yards from his knees. Right. I don't know if that has anything to do with anything. They made a big deal about it. Yeah. The corners coach, I got to find this stat because you mentioned the turnover margin thing. The corners coach came from BYU. I think I got this right. Janara Gilford. And he, his, his secondaries, I got to find the stat. Make sure I got it right. Yeah, 22 picks in 2024 led the country. So, you know, they, they've, they've, Michigan's been playing some pretty good quarterbacks this year. Yes, they are. And, you know, they, they've got guys who can cover Jair Hills, the best in man. They like Zeke Berry, the best in zone coverage. Rod Moore's back. Rod Moore's back. Smith Snowden is probably going to be your slot corner. Although they can move them all around. They love Shimari Earl. So that's, it's an interesting prediction. We'll see. But you're right. They're playing a lot of good quarterbacks. 248, 539, 97, 97. Don't be surprised if what you got,

10:31Michigan, Michigan state. You got one for the Spartans. Yes, I do. Cam Edwards will have more yards than both. Bo Jackson, Ohio state and Jordan Marshall. Wow. I'm not going to say he's going to be Kenneth Walker the third, but he's going to be really good. Well, Pat Fitzgerald said he thinks he can be the best back in the country. And if you're going to be the best back in the country, you have to exceed the totals of Bo Jackson and Jordan Marshall. Yeah, I won't go that far, but I think, you know, I think Michigan state offensive line is going to be better than people think too. Oh, I would suspect that's going to be better than it was a year ago. Can you got any? Don't be surprised ifs. Yeah. Don't be surprised if San LaPorta has a thousand yards receiving this year. And I know that that's going to meet. I think I feel like that's going to surprise people because he was so injured last year and he didn't play as much. But don't forget, jukehead singing and Tramik bride. You know, I know they're probably force of, you know, force Tramik bride, the ball more over in Arizona than they would have to over here. But San LaPorta is, I think he has a lead tight end skill and he can be an all pro type tight end.

11:33They're going to spread the ball around a little bit more than people think. And San LaPorta, I think, is going to be the receiving end of a lot of that spreading the ball around a little bit. I think Jamal and ASB, they're going to eat the slot receiver Tesla. I don't know if he's ready for that leap that we all hope yet. And guess who's going to benefit from that? San LaPorta. When San LaPorta plays, the lines just win more, plain and simple. I think he's going to be an important port of the game plan every single week. He's also playing for a contract. You know, that is for contract years and players looking for that next contract. I think LaPorta shows out this year and he has a huge year. 248, 539, 97, 97. Don't be surprised if making prediction for your favorite football team in our state. It is Carson Anderson here on 97. You

12:34Hey, by the way, Doug, I saw somebody on Twitter say that the game that the Tigers have versus the Guardians with a massive pitching their rookie pitcher is a huge game because McGonagall struggling in it. McGonagall doesn't win rookie of the year. Where the Tigers get a extra draft choice if he does win rookie of the year. So okay, he needs to get going with draft choice. Where do we know where that draft choice would be? No, that I don't know. Because if you call a guy up now, they try to incentivize you calling up rookies and not manipulate service time, right? Yeah. Rookie of the year draft pick compensation. The compensation picks typically fall between 26 and 32. Yeah. That's decent. Which is where McGonagall was if I'm not mistaken. I think he was a compensatory pick. Yeah. Interesting. 248, 539, 97, 97. Don't be surprised if that is what we're playing here when it comes to football this year. We're for the Lions Michigan Michigan State. We are seeking a Western

13:37Eastern and Central fan out there to give us a don't be surprised if if you want to go down a level Wayne State Fairs Grand Valley, whatever it is 248, 539, 97, 97. Let's go to Korn in Columbus, you're on 97 one. Hello, Korn. Okay, guys. Hey, so my don't be my don't be surprised is if is Saint Brown gets 2,000 yards received in this year. Wow. Look at what they talked about with Tramik bride and through pet scene. You know, kind of feeding the beast. We all think that automatically is going to go to Samloporta. But if you some of us, well, and I don't know if there's interview that he had or Jared had is like, it's not just about going to the tight end. It's about going to the best player that you have. And there is no doubt that Saint Brown kind of just gets overlooked. He had a great camp again this year as he always does. And I think that a little kind of chip on the shoulder a little fire under him is how everyone talks about JSN and JSN just you surping him after one, you know, obviously awesome year. But Saint Brown has had three or four really awesome

14:39years. And it's it's like his consistency kind of is getting overlooked. And I think he's going to take a step forward. Obviously Jared, Jared, Gargoss, you know, safety net. I think they look at the film about where they kind of what defenses did to them last year. And I again, like I said, I don't think there's any way that he's getting stopped at least 1800. My guess is or kind of my prediction is he's going to get 2000 yards this season. Wow. I mean, yeah, there's a lot there. And yeah, it makes it's a reasonable take given all that you offered up. I mean, asking a question. I don't think it is. Don't you? He'd have to have 167 catches at 12 yards of catch. Okay. That'd be the NFL record. And he's just and yeah, because I don't think his per average is going to go up from 12 that much. He's just not that type of receiver. You know, he's a possession type of receiver. So what he needs is way more volume. And he'd have to have 167 catches with targets like Gibbs, Jamo and Laporta on the team. I'm asking. I'm not sure if he's happening. And he's a great player. But 2000 yards or ASB seems ridiculous. Let me ask you a question.

15:43Is this a home or opinion that I think Saint Brown's better than Nikola? A little bit. Okay. Can you get that opinion outside Detroit? Probably not. That's a home or a bad guess. I just think that's very home. I just think they're both selling. I think Saint Brown is just he's unguardable. He's got great chemistry with golf. Yeah. That's how you can you're probably right. Yeah. You did the math. I gave it. I gave it the topic. I put you to math. Well, it's 50% he gets it or not, right? The 2000 yards. Yeah, either really well. 50% chance. 248, 539, 97, 97, 7, Chad is next. I'd Chad. Hey guys, how are you? What's up? This might be a little bit of a stretch, but don't be surprised if right under woodwinds are high or at least in the topic of it. Are you really

16:43capable of taking advantage of the corporate policy of the state force, yeah? Right, well, I mean, here. I mean, the coaches are building an offense around his abilities. But them build a, you know, pass very good on the run. But they've been able to run the ball, you know, hopefully a lot better this year. I mean, they're building around that. I see him not calling him Michael, but Michael a bit, I think he should be. If he does a good 360 this year, well, Chad, my, my, my, trying to tamp down expectations is getting blown up by this prediction. I think that what it really comes down to is just being better with the football and making better decisions in the field. And you know, there was a quote from Koi Deppner, the quarterback coach about Bryce, where he said it all starts at the ground. And Jason Beck said a quarterback that's moving their feet a lot is a quarterback that's thinking a lot. They have really, really worked hard on trying to get him to not be as jumpy with his feet and deliver the foot. And they said, when you have a better base,

17:45the arm angles and everything takes care of it from there. But the other thing and the one thing that would work in your favor that he could have a turn some heads this season is they're gonna run him more. Yeah, they're gonna run him more. You know, the Shiro more had a line if you don't, if you have a running quarterback, you better have two. They are not operating that with that philosophy this year. So, Heisman, yeah, I'd be surprised. But I wouldn't be surprised. I'd be shocked. Well, I'd be taken to a mental institute, a mental institute. Yeah. Yeah, I would, I would, I'm just thinking improvement. Don't be surprised of his way better. Yes, absolutely. Don't be surprised that the Michigan passing game is way better. Let me phrase it that way. With the 54 starts returning on the offensive line, better wide receivers and another year of college football. Don't be surprised that the Michigan passing game

18:46is much improved. How good is this JJ Buchanan? That's well, out of the people that I've seen it practice. He is probably the most impressive of the playmakers. And maybe it's just because I'd never seen him before. I'd saw him on TV last year when you taught, but they still are saying he hasn't dropped the pass in practice since he got here. And he is great with contested catches. And quarterbacks need receivers to go get the ball sometimes, right? Yeah. Don't be surprised if Keith Abney is the Nions number two corner this season. That's for an unnamed texture. Don't be surprised if Western Michigan at Michigan Saturday night is a 10 point game. I wouldn't be that surprised. If you pay attention to Western Michigan, first of all, they got a running quarterback in Brock Lowry. They got a thousand yard back, a two time thousand yard back. They have one of the most amazing facts about Western. That was a team that won the Mac, won their ball game.

19:49Do you know how many players they lost in the portal that had eligibility left? Zero. None. Now that could be two things. What it could be that people didn't recruit their guys. But in this day and age, that's a really hard thing to do with a good football team. And to not find players. Coach is very highly respected. He is respected. But to find players typically in that situation level up and they kept them. So I think Western, I've said it for a month. Michigan and Michigan state better show up for their opener. And when you're breaking in a new coach and a new system, sometimes there's some hiccups early on, right? With both of them. Yeah. And now to working in Michigan state's advantage is Mercer. Mercer's coach is now the coach at Toledo. He brought a dozen players with us with him. And he made the, I think they're trying to do signety light because they're going from the FCS level, right?

20:49To the FBS level where a signety went from group of six to power four conference jump. But Michigan and Michigan state better show up. Whoever sent this in, I wish he signed it. Don't be surprised that Michigan defences as good as or similar to the 21 through 23 defenses. It's from Mark and Novi. Well, Pearson, those guys are as good as you think in some of the younger players. Two, four, eight. I would doubt it, but who knows? They would need some guys to step up. I don't think Michigan, I don't look at Michigan and see an obvious first round pick. What I do see is some really good position groups and really talent in every position group that has to prove itself. Dan is next on a cell. Hi, Dan. Doug, don't be surprised when the Lions beat the Rams and the NSD Championship game and headed their first Super Bowl effort. Wow. That's the bowl prediction. Yeah.

21:49You know, I dug when you are take a sober, you know, and that's the hype. But when you take a sober look at where the Lions have offensive tools between Jameer Gibbs between, I think Jameo is poised to have a better year in a moderate, same brown. I mean, I do think the Lions have three of the best offensive producers in football. And, you know, I think they have a softer schedule. I think the Rams have been rebuilding their defense clearly. And the Lions are, they are poised to have a rebound year. And that's wishful thinking in many ways. Well, when you say rebuild their defense, I mean, I'm not really sure how good Aaron Donald is going to be after being out a couple of years. But Miles Garrett, Brian Young, just go on and on. The guys they traded from, they got from Kansas City, their defense is better than the Lions defense. And their skill position players are almost if not as good as the Lions.

22:49I mean, you could argue Stafford's better than Goff. You could argue Naku is better than St. Brown, despite what I said a moment ago. I stony. I don't think. And you knew Matt Stafford better than I do. You think Matt Stafford makes it through the season? Well, that's healthy. That's why I don't know. No, no, it does. You know, and I think that's the real issue the Rams are facing right now. Despite how good they look on paper. I'm actually, Chasty about the Lions this year. I think they're going to have a hell of a year. And unfortunately, for it to come true, the way you said, they're going to have to stay healthy. And they've already kind of not stayed healthy. I'm kind of hoping that injury quotas being used up at the beginning of the year instead of the end of the year. I play the easy part of their schedule, allegedly. Yeah, but you know, I wouldn't, I wouldn't be shocked if this Lions team went to the Superbowl. No. Kang, you're going to yell at me about that one too. Lions are the Superbowl. I won't yell at you. All right. Easy, it's definitely more doable than ASB at 2000 yards.

23:52I'll say that. Yeah, Carson Anderson, Stoney and for Anderson 90.

I think there are three factors working in their favor. Fifty-four returning starts. Everybody has starting experience.

27:00Summer with Doug Ellisiah in the weight room to get bigger and stronger, which they say was a necessity and great position coach and the old line coach there, Jim Harding. Anthony, don't be surprised. The Jameer Gibbs has a Roger Craig season, a thousand yards or more rushing and a thousand receiving. That math works better. Yeah, yeah. Certainly more possible. I think Jameer, was he second on the team in receptions last year? I think after LaPoda went down and look, LaPoda is obviously going to be back. But did he finish? I don't think he caught as many balls last year as he did the year before if my memory is correct. Yeah, he finished second on the team in receptions with 77. That was wrong. Year to year, he went from 52 to 77. That was definitely wrong. That's all right. Don't be the first, do it in the last. Nope. Don't be surprised if Pat Fitzgerald energizes the entire MSU program and leads them to seven

28:04wins this year. That's from Mitch. That one's stunned. That one completely stunned me. Well, the fact is there's kind of this group of teams in the big 10 that it's hard to predict what they're going to be given what they lost and what they brought in on the portal. And Michigan State's schedule is a better Michigan State team could really navigate that schedule. But it is, it is not a gauntlet. No. Oh, let's see here. What else do we got? Don't for the Lions. Nicholas writes it for the Lions. Don't be surprised if the Lions lead the league in sacks for Michigan. Don't be surprised. The Bryce Underwood is a high in the Heisman discussion by seasons and for Michigan State, but don't be surprised. They win eight games. I am trying to keep expectations reasonable for Bryce year to year, get better and think about the Heisman. Please think about winning games. Please tell November if he's good coach Steve. Don't be surprised with Lions lead the league in sacks. That's a popular one.

29:06Don't be surprised if this is the year Brad Homes swings for the fences with a big trade to bolster the secondary anytime, anytime between now and the trade deadline. That would that would be Mick. That would stun me. It would stun you. Yes. So I would be very disappointed if Brad wasn't considering these kinds of deals every year. I would have to turn them down or they couldn't come to terms. A big swing for the fences trade takes a number of factors. Yeah. Takes the other team to agree. And it takes the other team. The player to be available, him to them to be able to fit them in the roster budgetarily, budgetarily. They like them under the budget. It's like me with seriosity. Yeah. Yeah. And the Lions can afford to give up what that other team wants. The next one is from Dennis Lions fans. Don't be surprised if Brad refuses again to make a move at the trade deadline to approve the Lions playoff change. Oh, let's go to Danny. Your next on 97 one. Hello, Danny.

30:06Hello, gentlemen. Don't be surprised that Eastern Michigan defeats a big tent school this year. Wow. Yeah. Wow. Wishful thinking. I know back to back games. Wisconsin, I'm issued the both down. Just you know, I can go back to East Lansing and get a win would be awesome. I don't think it's going to happen, but don't be surprised. OK. So no, I can't get a huge opener against new Mac opponent Sacramento State. Oh, Eastern Eastern Eastern is in first place in the Mid American conference. As we speak, you know it, baby. Yeah. So beat that sex. That's that sex state team. Is it a crazy? The Michigan state will be facing three of their former quarterbacks. It's unbelievable. That's the crazy thing about the quarterback at Illinois and even child's Northwest. Yep. And I got to tell you, Danny, I don't know what's going to happen like with with fickle at Wisconsin, but they got away from their identity.

31:07I think it was a welcome change. They were sick of being just this team that handed the ball off 70 times a game and pounded it down your throat and were great in the trenches. Fans wanted things to be a little bit more exciting. They got fickle and it has not taken root the way I'm sure they would have expected. So if you're going to get Wisconsin, it might be a good time to get them. Greg and dearborn your next. Hello, Greg. Hey guys. So don't be surprised if winning him wins a coach of the year. I think in the country or the big 10, the country, the bear Brian or whatever. I don't give you what have you noticed? What have you noticed that's difference between like him and more like specifically? It's very, it's very, it's business. It's very business like, you know, the saying about Michigan was they needed an adult in the room and they got it. And I know that he emphasizes he's in on every special teams meeting.

32:09He talks about special teams with a great passion. He says he tries to win games on special teams and I try to survive. We're trying to win games on special teams. He is all over that. But you know, we'll see it's I had a ton of respect for him of the coach over the years. I can't believe he became available. I think he's exactly what Michigan football needs at this time. Absolutely. People like to say he's too old and I like to say he's not old enough. You know, I think he's I think he's just a solid solid coach that you know, they might go nine and three this year. And the biggest one of the biggest things is just put a rudder down man to grow some roots and get this program back to what it was and no more of the some of the embarrassment. Yeah. I mean, he won't be texting in half time. Put it that way. Right. But I really think that it's a fundamental based don't, you know, make huge mistakes kind of approach to football. It's been big 10 football out in the mountain west in pack 12.

33:09And then I guess mountain west pack 12 and then big 12 for years. He's been playing big 10 brand football. From Raymond, don't be surprised if Jared golf has his best season ever under new offense coordinator Drew Petsing. I wouldn't be stung. Then he offered up stats 4,630 yards passing 72.5% completion percentage 33 touchdowns a career low seven interceptions. 72%. Wait, wait, wait, top the 24 season. He needs to have at least. That's what he that's what he threw out there. Logan says, don't be surprised that the offensive line and secondary issues plague the team all season long and they comfortably miss the playoffs again. This will raise questions of Brad and Dan are the answer to the team to get over the hump or a hump of talented be flawed to get him over the hump of talented be flawed to talented and complete as a team. That's from Logan. Let's see from Mike. Don't be surprised. Jameer gives us an injury by week four. Please know from cardiac cats fan.

34:13Don't be surprised if sailors does very well and takes 20% of the running game and for Michigan, don't be surprised if Jordan Marshall's best running back in college football and under it as two plus runs of 50 or more yards this season. The underwood runs wouldn't surprise. And best running back in college football. I don't know about that, but I think Jordan Marshall is going to have a huge year. Katie Logger who don't be surprised if the pistons are number one in the east again. All right. We'll continue with this. Stoney sent something in his show prep sheet today. In his words, a little thing that just bothers the hell out of me. It's non sports. And Stoney, is this something that everybody is going to have heard of? Yeah. And there's some I ran it by John and Kostin. John likes it. The complete opposite of what I do. Really? Okay. We will get to that today at 1146.

35:13And we'll ask you, is there something as Stoney put it, a little thing, but just bothers the hell out of you for no reason. Alex and St. Clairshore's don't be surprised. Michigan state shocks the big 10 and gets 10 wins this year. Next tech, don't be surprised if Toledo beats MSU. Vince of the car, don't be surprised if Michigan gets 10 wins and makes college football playoff. Newt or canoe in Westland. Don't be surprised that the Lions miss the playoffs and Dan Campbell enters next season. I'm the hot sea. Now, if they don't make the playoffs, he will be on the hot sea. Two, four, eight, at least by the fans. Two, four, eight, five, three, nine, 97, 97. Here's one.

39:31Hey, can you turn on the light stock? This is, this is, it is so dark outside. No, look at this. This is a little crazy. I know. Wow. I mean, we need the rain in everything, but it looks like window tend everywhere. I know. Right. Crazy. It is. I don't know where people are in a raw metric of Troy, but it is dark where we sit. Exactly. It's like a tornado is coming or something. It kind of has that look, right? Yeah. 2485399797 we are supposed to get storms today. So there you go. All right. So Stoney, he said it's a little thing that bothers the hell out of you. Yes. And Doug, whenever I bring up weird stuff when I work with you, I always say, yeah. You said the same thing. Yes, you always say the same thing. Which is, don't ever change. Don't ever change. Mike. Okay. So yesterday I went and this has happened a lot and I just, it finally, it just got to me. I said, I have to talk about this.

40:32It's such a little thing. I went to our restaurant and had some pancakes. And it happens with other food too. Sometimes if you order corn on the cob or whatever, they bring you your butter. And it's the butter in the pad. And you have hot pancakes and you want the butter to be melting on it. And it's really, it's frozen practically. It's ice cold. First of all, it takes a little bit to get to open the pad. Then you do the plastic knife if they give you that or a regular knife. And to get in and you put the pad of butter on the pancakes, you just sit in there, waiting for it to melt. And then once you spread it with the knife, it might break the pan, you know, into the pancake. You know what I mean? Yeah. You don't want to injure your pancakes. So this pancake have previous injuries? Yeah. Why do they sign it? It was a bad home. I don't know. I jured at this pancake. Why do these pads of butter? Why can't they be like? Why do they come cold? Yes. Frozen sometimes. Why is that? Well, am I the only one who thinks this?

41:34No. I am. I am. I am. I am. I am. I told you the Jets and Jets says, oh, I hate when they come when it's melted already. Really? Why would you hate that? I don't know. I have no idea. Okay. So the one thing, what I'm going to bring up might not be a little thing, but you said a little thing. So maybe this doesn't qualify. I can't stand people cruising in the passing lane. I can't stand when people are going. The speed doesn't matter. It doesn't matter how fast you're going. You shouldn't be in the passing lane unless you're passing someone. I completely disagree with that, especially if you're driving on 75 home from up north and there is nobody in that lane. You can just go, why go in another lane if there's nobody behind you looking to pass? Well, I can't stand you. Okay. Get out of the passing lane. Yeah.

42:34Actually somebody will be going faster than you. Yeah. Behind you. And you see them and then you move over. Yeah. You think you see them. Yeah. But I bet you've been over there and you haven't seen them. Maybe. You are the scourge of the earth, you people. No, the scourge of the earth, the people who are in that lane are going the speed limit. Well, anybody, I think if you're going, if you're in that lane, you should be passing it and get back over. But that's just me. That's okay. That's the little thing that drives me crazy. All right. Do you have something out there? 24853997. That is relatively a little thing, but it drives you crazy. 24853997. I'm more of a question. What's that? When you get a burger or whatever kind of food when they give you your ketchup or your mustard packets, why is the ketchup one so much easier to open than the mustard? Open the ketchup like this. Open the mustard. You sit there and put it in my mouth and it's going to go out.

43:37I don't understand that. Is it? Yes. Kang, have you noticed that ketchup packets are easier to open than mustard packets? No, because I don't like mustard. So I don't open up the mustard packets. I'll take your word out of that one. I'm trying to think back though, though. It is feel different though. Is it a different packaging with the mustard compared to the ketchup? Yeah. Right? I think it is. But why? That's gator. He's the mustard expert. He loves mustard. I'll be back next week. He's packets though, I think he likes. He doesn't like packets either, but you know, 24853997. Got some more. Don't be surprised if from Omar. Don't be surprised if upon a return of Isaiah Pacheco fans and pundits alike, see similarities to the previous year, Sonic and Knuckles tandem promoting, prompting another video game inspired nickname of ratchet and clank to surface that eventually not stick at all. And eventually not stick at all. From MJC, don't be surprised the lines, Mr. playoffs.

44:43From Garbo, don't be surprised if Savion Heiter is taking more snaps than Marshall by the Ohio State game can include receiver snaps as well. 24853997, Scott in Farmington Hills, you're on 97 one, huh, Scott? Hey, guys. Okay, so here's mine. This is the one thing that has always hurt me in my time. When you go into a public restroom, I know it sounds weird. You go into a public restroom and something is automatic like the sink is automatic, but you have to touch the soap or you have to touch the, to get the paper. There has to be other, it's all in or nothing. And to me, that's my biggest. You want uniformity? Yeah, because like, what if you're not touching the sink, but then you're touching the soap or you're touching the thing to get your paper towel, you got to touch the thing to get it out? Where does it end?

45:43You know? Does it ever bother you being a tiger fan though that the toilet paper company in the stalls is called torque? Well, I mean, it's better than the toilets that are named Scotty's Potties. I mean, that's what I grew up with. Oh, yeah, Scott, thank you. 24853997, Matt, we have torque rolls in our building. Do we? Yeah, never noticed. Matt in Highland, I'm Matt. Okay, Doug, hey, real quick, before my point, there's not enough lanes on the road for everybody out there. So if we take out one lane, I think it'd be even worse. Yes. But my biggest pet peeve is going to the drive through and people asking me to donate money. I did not come here to be charitable. I came here to eat. And then you get that feeling, it's like, if I don't give you and round up, are you going to do something to my food? So you're stuck rounding up every time. And what makes my pet peeve worse is ever since I've, my children have been born, I've

46:46saved change. And you would not believe how much this adds up to over 16 years. I'm sure. It's thousands of dollars, Stoney. So now Taco Bell wants my change for their student education program. So that's my pet. You want to pay for your own kids education program. Thank you, Doug. Exactly. I mean, that's exactly where I'm at with that. Thank you, Matt. 24853997. Just pull a kid and say, I hate kids and give me my food. Jeff, I just sell. I Jeff. Hey, how you guys doing? I want to thank you for letting me say this because I'm embarrassed that this bothers me. Okay. So in baseball, whenever a batter strikes out and they're walking back to the dugout, they all look down the line or down into the outfield seat. They look away. I call it the look away, whether you're at the home team, you're looking down the left field line. If you're the visitors, you're looking down the right field line. I think they're trying to avoid a straight on gaze with other players in the dugout.

47:50And now that I, you're 100% correct every player after strike out walking back to the dugout, I always interpret it as why are they looking to the outfield? That's where I've always thought, but they all do it. Yeah. You're right. And now I can't not see it. I can't not notice. It's the care of shame. It is. Yes. It is. So let me say it, guys. These are little things that drive you crazy. Like for Stoney, when he ordered pancakes and the butter came cold and he had to wait for it to melt and didn't want to destroy the pancake, trying to spread around a very hard pad of butter. It happens everywhere. Like on bagels and things like that, sometimes you order it. Don't be surprised if SGH and Hossanine combined for 10 plus, 10 plus sacks as excellent rotational pieces. I like that. That wouldn't surprise me. No, I think that's a good one. Don't be surprised that Lines lose two or more games as a direct result of Miss Kicks

48:51from Jake Bates. I thought about that. But you put it on your show sheet. Am I worried about Bates? Yes. Yes. I am. We finished 30 second in field goal percentage last year, but five of his misses were from beyond 50. But that's not great. Why haven't taken it? I think it went four for nine from beyond 50. And 50 is not, I wouldn't call it a chip shot, but it's not as tough as it used to be. And then you have a dicey preseason. Yeah, he missed two extra points last week. I'm not. I'm not worried, worried. But it's on the radar for sure. I guess I wonder if it was a mistake not bringing in competition for him. Yeah, they didn't bring in anybody. No. Speaking of which, yesterday, they cut the running back, the small. Small. Yeah, jibari small and they cut stuff in the center. They were injury related too. They were.

49:51But they have two open roster spots. Is something brewing or is it just going to be practice squad callups? My guess is practice squad columns, but what do I know? Kang, something brewing or practice squad callups? I feel like once for Tom Kennedy, because they need a punt return. I'm not saying it's the biggest thing in the world, but just, I mean, you still need somebody back there to catch him, right? Yep. And two is running back off the waiver wire from some other, you know, who's available around a cream hunt, whoever maybe someone they worked out recently. Interesting.
