The guys behind the glass have a couple pet peeves.

0:00The car Scott Anderson 97 one, you know, one thing about the tiger season that is unfortunate is we are at a point where, you know, they were going to promote JVs, something they're going to pay homage to JV in some way. And when you fall out of the race and people see this, some people react negatively, they're just trying to sell tickets. But if you think about how bad it would be if they didn't do anything when other teams were doing it. Now the whole thing is though if they were competing and he was playing, it would be different. They wouldn't have to have a special day. I get that. But since he's not pitching or maybe you'll pitch shit, there's nothing that he's out of it. There's nothing wrong with this. That's why you're fangil. You love players. You you actually sent over an observation and just a question whether or not it was too early to seriously consider a managerial change. Yeah. I don't think I wouldn't do anything now, but at the end

1:01of the season, I mean, it's been what six years, I think, 32 games under 500 made the playoffs twice. A lot of the stuff that we kind of thought was really cool and, you know, different chaos and all that stuff. Granted, it's not his fault. His players stink some of them. But it's just old already to me. I like, you know, when we had him on and I'm with you guys in John and Jim, he's a good guy. It's nothing personal. I just think I think this team at the end of the season, it's time for a new voice. You think you think it is? I think it should be considered. Put it that way. Okay. Well, I'm kind of pretty consistent on these things. I consider it barring your team having an extreme season one way or another. I always look at who's available. Is there somebody out there that I think can do better that I'm really convinced can do better? And, you know,

2:06I just, I have no issue with considering this is a disappointing year. Yeah. I say it should be a part of a conversation. I would not be thinking that I would find somebody that I know is going to be better, but there's no harm in looking. Correct. They are one year removed from a postseason birth. And this year a lot went wrong. They basically, if the manager were on the hot seat, and then you trade away two of your best assets and that season really unravels, you know, that's in some ways not fair, but it's not always about being fair. Right. But it was, it was the way they were playing when they got to the point. Look, injuries was a part of it. I get it. I just, maybe I'm just tired, tired of it. And look, they were, they were, they were, they're what? 20 games under 500. It's got really fast. They like what they're putting on the field right now is embarrassing. Right. So they almost look like they're in certain. Now, last night was, at least they showed fight last night and they won. But some of these games have just been like,

3:09they're just waiting for the season to end. And that can't see down to like the Clark and McGonagall and it's got it. It's okay. For me, I'd have the conversation. Yes. I would suspect that I would end up keeping him if I were, but, but, you know, there's some pressure on the for, for, for both Scott Harris to have a good off season and AJ hinged to have a good 2027 if there is baseball. Yeah. All right. Here we go. UPS church just sent this over, uh, Stony, who's in for Gator today? ketchup packets use a foil layer mustard packet. It's pure plastic. Okay. So that might be the explanation. That's probably the reason, but my question is very simple. Why? Because mustard like not last long in the quote unquote, foil packet. Yeah. I don't congeal. Okay. I made that up. Oh, no idea. I don't know. You, um, you brought this up about the little things that annoy you.

4:09That they're little, but they annoy you. And your number one thing was breakfast yesterday. Yeah. Breakfast yesterday, you get the, uh, the tub of pancake, a butter for your pancakes. And you open it up and the pad, the pad is like basically frozen. Yeah. And it happens a lot. It's not just the one place and it happens to other foods besides pancakes like toast and bagels sometimes. Two, four, eight, five, three, nine, ninety seven, ninety seven. Let's get back to your phone calls. We go to Doug and Grand Rapids. Hello, Doug. Hey, guys, good to, good to get on with you. Um, two things. Uh, Pappy, you're going on a Sunday. It's busy on the weekends. And some guys going to take his five year old out and teach him how to play 18 holes the first time the kids ever got. That's that's what Pappy, but they think with JB, you know, um, you know, yeah, people are going to be better. You know, he was signed this year with the, uh, you know, with, with, uh, you know, a big season to ensure for the Tigers. And, uh, you know, look

5:16at, look at Will Smith, okay? Would you ever watch a Will Smith movie again? I won't, you know, what I'm saying? So these guys make $1,000. They're going to want to work if they didn't make black five or whatever it is up to you and watch. Oh, I will say Will Smith's a good hockey path. Yeah. No, I, you know what I'm saying though, that people can, they can take this one thing where people kind of feel a little bitter, you know, and he was, he was going to be coming this year to be part of the solution part of the fix. We got hurt. Yeah. I mean, you know, we got hurt. Yeah. No, I understand that. But I'm, what I'm trying to say though, is, you know, he's not going to be leaving as a guy. You know what I'm saying? Or, uh, you know, Detroit, you know, and then, you know, we, we never got a world series on who we thought we would, you know. Yeah. Interesting. Um, he was signed as an emergency break glass signing February 10th. The Tigers learned

6:16that resolson was out for the year. By February 10th, there weren't a ton of options. And the Tigers opted to sign Justin Verlander, a little bit of a, a, a wing in a prayer. Right. Well, 13 million, I think something like that. And he was coming off a good second half of the season last year. It obviously did not work. Interesting that this is not the first person to call, but it's not really stoked about JV, a JV celebration at the end of the year. And I, you know, I mean, do your wait till next year to do it. I mean, I don't know. I mean, if he pitches, that's one thing. If he doesn't pitch shit, he cares what they do before the game. They do a nice little half hour ceremony, whatever, bring his parents, his brother, Kate, the kids. I mean, it's, it's, it's okay. Well, why is that so horrible? Well, like he said, I guess he sees him as he is the personification of the disappointment this year.

7:17Well, that's true. I mean, yes, he's, he may be that personification. I mean, it is sad that his last professional game might be as more a mudhand uniform, but I'll do respect to our friends until you know, let's hope that he can throw. Yeah. And, and some miracle is like a good inning goes out and gets him one, two, three and walks off to standing ovation. Brian in Washington, Township, you're next. Hi, Brian. Hey, so I have a couple of things. What annoys you the most, and then if I can make a bold take with you guys, yeah, sir. Yeah. So when people say literally before everything, like I literally couldn't believe the price of gases today, unbelievable. I literally went to the grocery store and the lines were so long, like just shut up. I hate that word. Okay. And then, then when people say not going to lie before everything, yeah, not going to lie. I love pepperoni on pizza. Not going to lie at this bill is really expensive.

8:19I just hate, hate stuff like that too. Anyway, my bold take is Jonathan Taylor gets more Russian yards and Jameer Gives. We lost you there. You said Jonathan Taylor gets more Russian yards and Jameer Gives. I mean, that's possible. I mean, Daniel Jones is their quarterback. But guys, I can't find anyone to take a bet with me on that one. So I took him first with my fantasy draft pick and then I'm going seven and ten for the Lions this year. Sorry. Why? I just think there's so many holes. I think you go out to Minnesota and lose the Brossmer and I don't see that changing. I don't see how they got better to fix problems and get victories over, you know, errors like that from last year. I think they're don't you think they're not saying you're going to be wrong? Don't you think their defensive line is going to be better and their linebackers with Devon White is going to be better. The secondary stole mystery. Yes. I do stony and I think that,

9:24but you know what I also think and people are discounted. All right, Brian, we've lost you. You know what? I can't stand when guys phones come out. You know another little thing about his man mentioned during the break. When Pat McAfee's on when he has AJ Hawke on and AJ Hawke just doesn't say anything just stares in the camera for half an hour. What is he? What is he therefore? So stony, I hate to break it to you every day between ten and two. I know. I'm kind of busy. Yeah, but it's on here and I don't pay any attention. You're good. So you don't have ADD like I do. So dude, losing like the weird thing is you know what makes no sense? It makes no sense that they're lost to Brossmer last year. It also makes no sense that they swept the division champion. They beat the bears. They beat the bears 52 to 21. If last year is being cited as an example as to why you think they're going to go seven and ten because of the Brossmer thing. That was bad.

10:25It was also sort of a depleted Lions team by the time we got there in terms of injuries. But if they put a similar product on the field, but last year they swept the division champs. You know what's really weird you think about last year? That game in the Pittsburgh game. I mean, it could have been 11 and six even with the team that they had. Now you can say they were lucky to beat the giants. Yes, but still they don't have the Brossmer game they would make the playoffs. Okay, so little things that drive you crazy. Let's go behind the glass. What are like Stoney's pad of butter that's cold? Paul? So mine has to do with the NFL draft and it just annoys me because you tune into the NFL draft. You're expected. You're some analysis about the picks that are happening. They got all the players, former players up there. They could add something to that and it boils down to their just like this guy's a football player. Great. I know that he's in the NFL draft. You make that analysis. It's just so dumb. You say anything other than he's a football player. It adds no context to the pick at all. I'm guilty for like Kevin McGonagall.

11:31He's just a baseball player. It has that connotation of a difference like you do. It kind of, I mean, I guess what you're trying to say is I do everything right? He's just he can do everything. He's just a football player. Can you have anything to add? Mine as I don't know, this might be a big one for everyone. I'm sure I don't think of a tiny one, but just as a society that we have accepted to give a tip before the service is provided, that makes zero sense to me logically. So if I go to pick up food and I order the food and I'm waiting for them to make my food and process and do everything pack it up, I pay for it first and then I have to tip or not right away. You haven't done the service yet. I don't know if I should tip you and how much I should tip you. So I ordered, okay. You know what I mean? I give you an example. I ordered a pumpkin spice latte from a coffee established. Okay. I ordered on the app. I tipped. I asked for it extra hot. I got it. Got my car. It was lukewarm. I had already

12:35tipped and they blew it. Yes. So because when you normally go down to a restaurant, you tip accordingly to the service, the food, whatever, the how the server was, all that stuff. And you're like, all right, I'm going to base it from 15 to 18 to 20 to 25 percent, whatever it is. But when you do it beforehand, that's what am I tipping for? I know. It's been done yet. How can I tip accordingly? I have another question about tipping and I think it might be regional because I had my family from the East Coast. We went up north last week. And when the bill came for dinner, to leave a tip and my sister and other people, they asked, well, you don't tip. I'm leaving this. I said, well, I'm leaving this. It's a little more. He goes, well, you tip on the, you tip on tax. I said, yeah, it's tip of the bill is, but maybe in the East Coast, maybe because the taxes are a little more, they don't take, they don't, they take the tax out of the total bill and they tip on the bill without the tax. Really? I thought that was weird. That seems kind of petty. I know. What's my sister? No. 248-539-9777. It's Carson Anderson. Stoney's in for Anderson here on 971.
