00:00It's the cookie jar and it's brought to you by Moran Chevrolet. It's 313 day St. Patrick's Day on the
00:06horizon.
00:07Random out of nowhere sports performances.
00:11And opening day is three weeks from today. We're going to do all of it.
00:15Let's start with 313 day outside of cars. What is Detroit's best creation?
00:20I'm going to have to go with Furners. I think I mean Furners not all that doesn't taste great.
00:26It's unique. You can use it when you don't feel good. It goes great with saltine crackers.
00:31It goes great with anything at any time of day that you put on the table.
00:36And if you don't have any WD-40, you got a rusty bolt.
00:40You can also pour it on there to help loosen things up a little bit.
00:43Furners is one of the great things.
00:46I got a Furners question for you. Have you ever had it with chocolate milk?
00:49Oh no. Mix it with chocolate milk?
00:52Yes. It's a different half and half that I didn't know existed until I worked at a country club back
00:57in college.
00:57Is there a name for it? Like a name for that particular drink?
01:00They would just call it the Wurners half and half.
01:03Oh wow. Interesting.
01:05I love chocolate milk and I love Wurners, but I don't think I could try them together.
01:12That's a good one. Wurners is good.
01:13I'm going to go with Motown.
01:15I thought of all the food options. I didn't think of Wurners, but those types of things.
01:20Well, I like them and I appreciate them.
01:22I think the music is what gets me the most. So Motown I'm going with.
01:26I will say the stories created by Metro Detroit novelist Elmore Leonard.
01:32So 310 to Yuma, Out of Sight, Justified, and Jackie Brown.
01:39These are all stories that he wrote that are adapted into visual media.
01:43Am I a bad Detroiter if I don't know any of those?
01:46You don't know Jackie Brown.
01:50310 to Yuma.
01:51You're not a bad Detroiter. I'm just surprised that you haven't heard of those.
01:55Yeah.
01:58I almost want Coney's because I love a Coney once in a while, but I get sick of them easy
02:04too at the same time. But a once in a while Coney is so delicious, but a Bumpy Cake.
02:09Oh, yeah.
02:10Oh, Bumpy Cake's good.
02:10Excellent.
02:11We just became best friends.
02:12Yes.
02:13I love Bumpy Cake.
02:15I would honorable mention Bumpy Cake.
02:17I'm going Detroit style pizza.
02:19To me, it is the superior style of pizza.
02:22You get the crunch.
02:24You get a little depth.
02:25It's not a lasagna like Chicago, but you're actually getting your money's worth for your
02:30pizza.
02:33I'm not going to argue with that.
02:34I love Detroit style pizza.
02:35It's a good choice.
02:36It's on my list.
02:37St. Patrick's Day coming up.
02:38What's the best green thing?
02:41So, I think really the only answer for this is cash money.
02:48So, I'm going to take that one off the top first, but I don't like the color green.
02:54I don't own anything green.
02:57Everybody always asks, why aren't you wearing anything green?
02:59And I go to a very wise individual to help me with why it can be so difficult to be
03:09green.
03:13I mean, when teams shoot 100 free throws against you, it's really not easy being green.
03:21And in this context, you can also understand if you're a point guard and you're playing
03:29against all these other teams, that you would kick your opponents in the nuts every single
03:36time you play.
03:38What is your answer?
03:40Cash money.
03:41That's the only thing.
03:41That's the answer.
03:42Well, it's funny you played Kermit because Kermit did make my list.
03:45Oh, yeah.
03:46I have actually an extensive list and this is hard for me to decide.
03:50I do think one green thing you would like are green traffic lights.
03:54That's like, besides money, obviously.
03:57Sure.
03:58Yellow's more fun because you kind of...
04:00Yeah, but you can get ticketed if you...
04:02If it's yellow, you got the right of way.
04:04Um, I've been pulled over for that verge of yellow to red.
04:08Oh, when it's orange?
04:09Yeah.
04:10I didn't get a ticket though.
04:10That's good.
04:11Um, but I also like, you know, I don't know, grass, pickles, the Grinch made my list.
04:18You like the Grinch?
04:19Like what kind of grass?
04:19I do like the Grinch.
04:20Are we talking weed?
04:21I'm talking like your front lawn.
04:23Oh, okay.
04:24No, no, no.
04:24You're not talking blazing up?
04:25No, I'm not talking that type of grass.
04:27Like lush forests.
04:28A little Frisbee golf?
04:30That's great too.
04:32Um, I think I'm going to go with like a green forest, like a lush forest.
04:38Okay.
04:38Okay.
04:39All right.
04:39There's so many.
04:40The woods.
04:41Yeah.
04:41Yeah.
04:42Yeah.
04:42Let's go global here.
04:44Grass.
04:46Okay.
04:46Yeah.
04:47That needs to be a trough, just the way you said that.
04:51It's like Babcock almost.
04:53Uh, I'm going to go with Yoda.
04:56Okay.
04:57Yoda trained Luke, and that's what eventually brought down the dark side.
05:02The force.
05:03Yeah.
05:03May the force be with you.
05:04I was caught off guard by that.
05:05Yoda.
05:06Okay.
05:07Mint.
05:08I love mint in a mojito.
05:10I love mint ice cream.
05:11I love a shamrock shake.
05:13I considered other foods like Granny Smith apples and kiwi, but went with the mint.
05:17I only like mint in my tobacco.
05:19Go guys.
05:21Bam at a bio scored 83 points.
05:24What's your favorite out of nowhere athletic performance?
05:27So I'm going to go back to 1990 February 11th in Tokyo.
05:31And it is Buster Douglas.
05:33Not only did he go one round, two rounds, three rounds, he went 10 rounds with Iron Mike and
05:40knocked his ass out.
05:42I didn't see that one coming.
05:43It's a good one.
05:45Kind of got my brain stuck here.
05:47Losing effort.
05:48I will say Spike Albrecht, 17 point first half in the national title game against Louisville.
05:52Black was clean, by the way.
05:53Why not Luke Hancock?
05:55Who actually won the game.
05:58And he made a bunch of shots, too.
05:59He went to Michigan.
06:00Oh, okay.
06:02It's Herbie.
06:05Never mind.
06:07It's a Tommy Boy joke.
06:09Yeah.
06:10All right.
06:10But then I was like, did I screw up the Louisville player?
06:12It took me a second.
06:13I'm going to take this a different way, because in some ways it might not be out of nowhere,
06:17because he was a stud and he was their best player, but he went next level nuclear a year
06:22before John's Glenn Rice, 1989 NCAA tournament.
06:28I don't know if I've ever seen somebody say, hey, boys, come over here and jump on my back.
06:33He still holds the tournament record, which is astonishing, with 184 points in six games.
06:39He made 75 field goals in six games.
06:43Yeah.
06:44I went David Fries for his role in that Cardinals World Series.
06:49Out of nowhere, he has an MLB record, 21 RBIs in the postseason.
06:54But if you want to focus on one game, one moment, how about game six, where he goes triple
06:58to tie, homer to win, and keep their season alive down to the final strike?
07:03David Fries.
07:05Three weeks from opening day for the Tigers, the home opener on April 3rd.
07:10The weather forecast today says 52 degrees.
07:13That's nice.
07:14Without the sun, it will be gray and cloudy.
07:17Would you lock in the weather three weeks out?
07:20No, because I know tomorrow it'll change.
07:24And in another week, it'll change.
07:26Ten days out, it's going to change.
07:28And I'm willing to gamble that it might actually be 52 and sunny.
07:33It might be 60 and gray.
07:37I'll take the odds that there might be an improvement in the weather forecast with the risk that we
07:44all know you could have a snow globe.
07:46It could be worse.
07:47Oh, yeah, for sure.
07:48I'm not locking that in.
07:49I've worked numerous opening days, and they've all been different.
07:53Some have been absolutely beautiful.
07:55Yeah.
07:55Where the sun is shining, it's getting warm.
07:57Others have been a snow globe.
07:59So there is that chance that the sun is going to come out, and it's going to feel warmer
08:03inside of Comerica Park.
08:05I'm taking the chance.
08:06Yeah, shoot.
08:06I'd take 42 and sunny over 52 and gray.
08:08Yeah.
08:09I'm going to quote a two-time captain of Michigan football.
08:13Don't be afraid to be great.
08:16We can do better, guys.
08:17Come on.
08:19Not locking it in.
08:20Not locking it in either.
08:21I mean, first off, I'd rather have 45 and sunny.
08:24Give me the sun, because I think it's just crucial.
08:26The sun gets pretty strong by early April, and it can make 45 feel like 55, 60.
08:33Especially in Comerica Park.
08:34Yes.
08:35You nailed it.
08:3752 sounds great.
08:39Yeah.
08:39The sun is more critical for opening day.
08:41I'm not locking in a cloudy day for home opener baseball.
08:45I'll roll the dice.
08:46We get a sunny day.
08:47I don't care if it's 42 degrees.
08:49Give me the sun.
08:51Last question for the cookie jar.
08:57Oh, you just can't help yourself, can you?
08:59Gut check.
09:00Will the Wings make the playoffs, yes or no?
09:06Can I go full stony and say maybe?
09:10No, they will not make the playoffs.
09:12Heather?
09:12No.
09:13Greg?
09:14I'm going to quote someone else here.
09:15How about the former DA of Gotham City?
09:18The night is darkest before the dawn.
09:21Yes!
09:21The Red Wings make the playoffs!
09:23Says the guy wearing the Red Wings hoodie today.
09:26That's right.
09:27Yeah, he's not here next week, so he doesn't have to account for it at all.
09:31I've been yes until the injuries.
09:35I thought they'd make it because of goaltending.
09:37It's a pretty significant improvement there this year, and that's the only reason why I
09:40think they're surviving their goal differential.
09:41I think they have to get a point a game to get to 95.
09:45I don't think they can do that anymore.
09:47No.
09:48It was never sold when the month began, and we are headed for the marchiest march that
09:53ever marched.
09:53The death march that is losing Larkin and Kopp.
09:57To begin with, they already weren't scoring enough goals five on five.
10:01No, this team's not making the playoffs.
10:03Ten years.
10:07A damn disco.
10:10It's Cookie Jar.
10:11It's 97.1.
