College football is here. It is the opening day for Michigan State Michigan plays Western Michigan tomorrow. And here we go. 2485 3997 97. Want your predictions for your team this year? What do you think their record will be? Go on the record. We record these things and we visit them at the end of the year. Michael have our predictions for them a little bit later on. Also, you'll be participating in if I bet it. And Gator Gator is did he say he's getting his picks over Kang? He's going to send over his pitch. Yeah. Gator's in his picks over. You also came up with an idea that I do not like. Uh oh. Kang wants to punish the loser between Gator and I this year. And if I bet it. Yeah. Let's put some pressure on these pants, right? I feel like a fantasy football. Yes. Exactly. Stoney. Yes. The loser between the two has his acceptance of kind of punishment. Would you have people texting what they think that you guys should do? But you want to tell them
what our ideas were before you. You the first thing you said is, you know, like Doug, if you lose, you got to eat a hot dog on the air live. Yeah. At the end of the season, if Doug has a worse record than Gator, he's got to eat a hot dog. And then you came up with Gator drinking like a whole cup of coffee on the air live. He hates coffee. Yeah. But I look at you. I'm not sure. I know what's going to happen. The listeners are going to love it. They're going to come up with all kinds of disgusting possibilities and things that we're going to have to do. How about the loser? Moze the other guys grass on Thursday. I don't want to moose grass. You know, he's doing the backyard. You don't want to moe your grass either. Do it. Probably true. I think you should wear a Ohio State jersey if you lose and have those stupid ass buck, the buck guy nuts around your neck. You just walk around in an hour, or dress like that. Get the f out of here. That ain't happening. I'll tell you that. How about you have to grow your hair out for three months and he has
to shave his head for three months? I would look like I would look hysterically bad. Me and Gov had that thing. Well, I did a thing for charity and I did. I had to not shave for a long period of time. And then finally, he said, you can shave. I had to give more money to some charity. You have to buy your way out. I bought my way out. That's kind of awesome that you have. What do I do to get out of this? A lot of these suggestions are never going to happen. But I don't mind more suggestions coming in. But we'll have our first round, three college games, including what I call the car car house lock at the week, two car payments and a house payment and Gator calls, which is hysterical because I've had a dollar, three dollars at a time. But Gator has these shoot the boot lock of the week. I don't know why we got the mic stone stone cold lock of the week. Sure. Whatever. We'll get to that a little bit later on. In the meantime, let's talk to the people. We go to Darren and Clinton Township. Hi, Darren. Hello, what's up?
I'm only in DK my favorite. So I'd be so sick as possible. First of all, I'm going to go to nine and three. They go four and two against the ranked teams and they drop one of the other ones that puts them right on the bubble for the college football playoff. I would probably put them on the bubble. I'm to tailgating. I'm 61. I used to, doesn't matter with time. The game started 8 a.m. Got to be there at 8 a.m. on the golf course on Hoover Street, whatever. Wait a sec. Wait, wait a sec. If it was an 8 p.m. start, you would be there at 8 a.m. Yes. But now that we've gotten a little older for night game traditions, we have morphed in my sister a lot of lives on Eisenhower Parkway, Eisenhower Country Club. It's not really a country club. It's nine holes. So we'll play that too. Sometimes three times, still getting there early in the morning. And then by then, by like noon, one o'clock, then we're ready. We're done walking and we go to whatever tailgate spot we have reserved. So you're playing sometimes 27 in the morning. Yeah, we're walking
too, but it's like only two par four. It's not crazy. Well, I will tell you this, Darren. That is what we call an animal day. If you play 27 holes at golf, then go tailgate, then go to a football game. That is an animal day. Can I get one more thing in? Sure. Doug, my friend and I, we made up a song to the tune of Randy and it's all about you. How can I get it to you? Oh, God. Oh, put you on hold and we'll see if we can, if we can, it's in my notes. I don't know if I heard you what you can do is you can, we're going to put you on hold so you can email it over. I was that. Okay. Thanks, man. Have a great weekend. Thank you, too. What's the song? Brandy, I'm looking glass. Yeah. You're a fine girl. Yeah. I don't even know which button to hit here. If I, if I disconnect you call back, I'm gonna give this a shot. The sailors say, doggy. You're fine. So that's my karaoke song. Oh, yeah. And that's the only song
I should should sing on karaoke because you can kind of talk your way through it. I have a terrible singing voice. So do I, but, but after you got a few in here, let's go. Yeah. Absolutely. People need to know what an honorable man the sailor was. He did not lie to Brandy. Oh, no. He was very honest and upfront and does not get the credit he deserves for that. You know what follows that? It probably in karaoke. Say, same time period. Still the one by Orlean's kind of, is that why is that what's your karaoke go to? I really don't have one in per se. It's like, I made used to be when I was a real, we younger. This is even before spring. I could lip sync. I was really good at building me up buttercup. Wow. You are. You can't believe it's not just a punch button springsteen song. Like, could you just have a go to? No. Adam and David sitting here next to Adam. Oh, man. How you guys doing fellas? Great. Oh, my gosh. There's a bad outside, but hey, you got to love the fall. Yeah.
Um, Mr. Michigan State. I got Michigan State winning two games this year. I got Michigan going to the finals and going undefeated. I believe that, hey, I mean, if Bryce Hunter was the guy, this is what happens and we go undefeated. Um, that's a major. That's a major if you even said if if, but the real if today, I have to come and tell you my son is a starting quarterback at Davidson. And we play Detroit cap, essential. Oh, um, tonight. Um, I'm excited. He's a baby man, but he come from good blood. Brother played for the Detroit Tigers. Like, there's a good, but, but it's always been fun. And that's what my like, I apologize for being long winded. When I'm trying to say this, Hey, man, every parent out there, just let your kids go out there. My son told me goes, Dad, I want to beat these MFers today. And that's Janssen's kid.
Janssen's kid place for them. I know this. And like, I'm part of this kids and I'm on par at them and like, we're going to Detroit Catholic Central tonight. And it's actually no buy. It's kind of like the pissence. Yeah. It's pretty impressive facility here. Have out there. Oh, it's going to be epic. I mean, it's porn right now. My brother's coming in. Hold on. Did you say, did you say your brother or his brother played for the Tigers? My brother played for the Detroit Tigers 13 years. Who's your brother? Mark for sales. Never made to the big leagues. Was straighter for, yeah, but oh, but was straighter for Brad Austinis. And Austinis came here as a catcher when he was an all star for the Houston Astros. So I mean, there's a lot of athletic ability going on. And we're going to be there. And USA today, top 25 game. And he's just a baby. He's a sophomore. Nobody's listening. He's not
listening. But man, I'm so excited for him. I just want him to go out there and just swing it up. Fling it. Adam Good luck to him. Davidson has a very good program. I remember from back at my Flint days. It seems like they're always good at football. John is next on 97 one. Hello, John. Good morning, you guys. How you doing? What's up, Tony? How are you? I'm knowing you, Tony, for about 30 years. You and Rob Parker back in the days. Oh, yeah. Come on. Question is, you know, all of a sudden, the silence in the Tigers. Why anybody? Why is the free day, Jay Henskitt in a free pass, Tony? Did you listen to the show? Did you listen to the show yesterday? Yes. We brought it up. He should be fired. Now with a month left, not with a month. Why did he get a free pass? Now with a month left in the season, I said there should be a conversation at the end of the season. And I would probably not object depending on what the succession plan would be. Right. Right. I agree with you because he's terrible. How many games have the Tigers lost?
Because he keeps doing analytics and switching the pictures and just look at the record, man. He's back to back playoff appearances. Yeah. He's 32 games under 500. He's been here. He made the playoffs and now they've changed the world to get into the playoffs. But he's terrible. He cheated in Houston as well. Well, that's all behind him. And if you know, he's not doing it here, look, John, you're entitled to your opinion. And when you say, why is he getting a free pass? He's not. There's plenty of criticism. We talked about it yesterday. And by the way, you're not giving him a free pass. I always say that people are people's opinions matter. And you're not giving him a free pass. And I don't think it's a free pass either. No, I think it's even if you want him to stick around. And I do because I feel like this year was a more of a roster construction issue in a really bad month. And who knows what would have happened had they kept mys in school because they got white hot
after that. Maybe having mys in school, but I think the future with who they have in this organization and who they have coming is very interesting. Absolutely. And I think Hinch has a veteran's touch that he probably would prefer to have guys who could play every day. Yeah. But what he's got to do with the roster he's given is have platoon players. But look, you're entitled to your opinion and you're on the record. I don't, I wouldn't fire him personally. But I would also make sure that there wasn't somebody I knew would be better. At the end of the year, if somebody becomes available, you know, who's available is his assistant and Houston Alex Coral. What do you think could be better? I don't know. He's he did a good job in Boston before he got fired. Right. I mean, if if for some reason, if the reds fire Terry, Frank, Kona or whatever, I mean, a picture got right. And then you go, well, maybe, maybe. Because it's not about the
business keeping AJ Hinch employed. It's having the best man and for the job. So you know, choose your favorite if they become available. Yeah, I would, I would explore it. Open lines, get your predictions in for Michigan, Michigan state. It is Carson Anderson on 971.
