00:25All right, that was Kenny's wish
00:28that we would just give you the extended cut
00:31of that god-awful song.
00:34Hey, man, it's April in the day.
00:37Everybody's winning!
00:40Hold, please.
00:44All right, listen.
00:45I really need you to just please.
00:47Paying customer costa.
00:49Well, hold on.
00:51First of all, happy opening day, everyone.
00:5370, okay, I quit.
00:55I have nothing.
01:02We'll try this again.
01:03Wait for it.
01:05Go ahead.
01:06Kenny's an assassin.
01:07There it is.
01:09Okay.
01:12Going to be the one, Mike.
01:16Woo!
01:17What a penis!
01:25All right, let's get to it.
01:26I don't...
01:27There can't be any more.
01:28Unless that's some type of satanic, like, extended clip.
01:32This is a two-minute and 39-second song, Michael.
01:34God in heaven.
01:36All right, we'll try this again.
01:3870, sunny.
01:39The team wins in a shutout.
01:40Park looked great.
01:41People looked like they had fun.
01:42All things good.
01:43Oh, yeah.
01:44Middle of the order.
01:45Good.
01:45Yes.
01:46But, before we do the baseball...
01:49Dylan Dangler!
01:52That's got to stop.
01:53It's a home run.
01:55I'm not even going to say what they're calling it.
01:57That's got to stop.
01:58The point is, the Red Wings won last night.
02:03Come on!
02:04Listen, I stood here and took abuse from the three of you.
02:07You did!
02:08And you know what, folks?
02:09We paid off the lunch.
02:11That's right.
02:11Michael ate well today.
02:12That's right.
02:13It was delightful.
02:14I'm just happy they won, because the Senators somehow won.
02:16So, look.
02:17All things are good.
02:18Martone got that score.
02:20I'm like, and it changes.
02:22Nope.
02:22No, no.
02:23And they got some puck luck.
02:2415 seconds later, bang.
02:26They got some puck luck.
02:27They got two really great bounces.
02:29And whatever.
02:29I don't care.
02:30They got to win games.
02:31Now you get the dead corpse of the Rangers coming in here.
02:33Go beat them.
02:34But we wanted to do an homage to Kenny's Addiction, which is that song.
02:40I'm just waiting for it to start bellowing through the speakers again.
02:43But we wanted to do a version of April in the D.
02:48I'm going to offer you three different pathways.
02:52You have to tell me which one you are most confident in.
02:57That's all.
02:58The pathways are as follows.
03:00We will start with the Tigers, who won today.
03:02Okay.
03:03They will win the AL Central.
03:06Number two, the Michigan Wolverines, who play tomorrow.
03:09They will win the national championship.
03:11Okay.
03:12Or the Pistons won again.
03:15The Pistons make the NBA Finals.
03:19Okay.
03:19Now, I know the Pistons won, is going to be tied to Cade.
03:22We'll get an update on Cade in about a week.
03:25The point is, they played.
03:26Look, we didn't panic when Cade got hurt.
03:28No, no, no.
03:28We didn't.
03:29We didn't.
03:30But I want to ask the people.
03:31I can't put the wings in there.
03:33I was about to say, wings making the playoffs?
03:35Nobody will pick it.
03:36There's still plus odds to do it.
03:39No one will select it.
03:40So, I mean, I could.
03:41But it's the inverse of the Iserman topic from yesterday,
03:44where I said, just don't call in about Iserman,
03:46because I'm tired of hearing it, because everyone will call.
03:48Because I agree, but everyone will call with the same answer.
03:51This is the inverse.
03:52Nobody is going to be more confident in the wings.
03:55So, Tigers to win the Central.
03:57Yes.
03:57Michigan to win it all.
03:59Yes.
03:59Or the Pistons to make the final.
04:02Just to make it, folks.
04:04Correct.
04:04Not to win it.
04:05To make it.
04:06You rank those out in order of confidence.
04:09I mean, I have my answer.
04:13I just want the people.
04:14And I want yours.
04:16You want mine now?
04:17Yeah.
04:17I don't know.
04:19I would say I would go Tigers 1.
04:22Tigers 1 to win the Central.
04:25They're just a better team.
04:26They went out and they made some moves.
04:28Bigger payroll.
04:29Right.
04:30McGill's good to say that.
04:32Right.
04:32You may have the rookie of the year.
04:33You may have a Cy Young winner on this team.
04:37I think that's the safest bet.
04:39I think Michigan winning it all is probably my number two.
04:45And the Pistons making it to the NBA Finals.
04:49I would put three.
04:51Okay.
04:51Kenny.
04:52Now, if you threw the wings in there, I would actually put the wings at three to make the playoffs.
04:56And then the Pistons fourth.
04:59You think the wings making the playoffs is a higher chance of outcome in your mind than the Pistons making
05:05the final?
05:06Yes.
05:06Wow.
05:07No, I.
05:08Jeez, man.
05:09You're putting a lot of faith in a wings team that finally just won a game.
05:12All right.
05:12Kenny, go ahead, buddy.
05:14So to me, it's the same with the Pistons and the wings.
05:16I have them pretty much on the exact same level in terms of our expectations.
05:20The Pistons being able to win multiple playoff series and get to a final.
05:25That's a different thing than just winning, you know, a few games in the playoffs.
05:28Obviously, the wings making the playoffs, I put pretty much at the exact same odds as that.
05:32Those are probably tied for last, in my view.
05:36I have the Tigers, you know, kind of kicking the rust off here a little bit.
05:40But and having a good month of April, that's that's my number one.
05:44Number two, Michigan.
05:45And I think dead heat for third is is wings and Pistons.
05:49Wait, you put hold on.
05:50Am I the lone soldier here?
05:52I don't even think the Pistons and wings chances are remotely close to each other.
05:56The Pistons have earned a level of respect where wait a second.
05:59I understand they still have to prove they can win a playoff series or they still have to prove.
06:04And that's why for me.
06:05But the wings are nowhere close to being even a lock to get in.
06:11No, fellas.
06:13I'm just telling you.
06:14They're not.
06:15But but there's a fraction of the way out right now.
06:21Things go the right way.
06:22Maybe they're in by the end of the weekend for the time being for the Pistons.
06:27I got to see you win some games and win some series.
06:31You have it.
06:32And that's what it is for me is I was at I was I was going to say the palace.
06:36I was at LCA for some of those Knicks games, the playoff games.
06:39And you can tell because I was there for regular season games and I was there for those playoff games.
06:44You can tell the difference between playoff basketball and regular season basketball.
06:47And it's night and day.
06:49It's totally different.
06:49Exactly.
06:50So I need to see that.
06:51I'm with Rico.
06:52And that is I need to see that success before I start saying things like final.
06:55Yeah, there's no offense to like the Dennis Jenkins of the world.
06:58But are you going to continue this in the playoffs playing this way?
07:01Well, I pray not because Cade will be back.
07:05Look, that that's the part I know.
07:06Right.
07:07I understand.
07:07But I think by all accounts, Cade, by even the most.
07:12What's the phrase I'm looking for?
07:14Even the most like highly skeptical negative approach, he'd be back by the second round of the playoffs.
07:23So I'm baking that in.
07:25Now, you're right.
07:26I mean, I guess without Cade, maybe you're running to a Hawks team or a Hornets team that really you
07:30got to take a look at what they are near term versus totality.
07:35But I just I'm not sold.
07:37The wings are making it.
07:38I just wouldn't write them off like Kenny Codd, who is negative and doesn't know puck.
07:43I didn't write them off.
07:44But I think the safer of the two Tigers winning the central.
07:48I think that's that one.
07:49I agree with.
07:50See, I actually I would have the Tigers winning the central above Michigan only because the Tigers have so much
07:58more play, meaning margin of error.
08:01When you're in a one and done and look, I have Michigan, Arizona to win the championship.
08:06That's or it's not just Michigan.
08:08Yeah, they could lose Saturday.
08:10Do I think they will?
08:11No, but they easily can.
08:13What's the spread?
08:14One and a half.
08:15Right.
08:15That's flipping a coin.
08:16That's I think both teams are like minus one ten.
08:19So, yeah, in one and done, anything happens, somebody rolls their ankle and that's it for your chances for the
08:27Tigers.
08:28It's really your level of competition.
08:30That's why it's a Tigers for me is because the central is so bad where you could just bake that
08:35in already to to the question that we're asking.
08:38Central is very bad.
08:40Yeah.
08:41Two, four, eight, five, three, nine, nine, seven, nine, seven.
08:43The central is betty, betty bad.
08:45It's going to be very bad.
08:47It's very.
08:47The central is very bad.
08:49Two, four, eight, five, three, nine, ninety seven, ninety seven.
08:51So opening day, hopefully you had a hell of a good time.
08:54Please drive safe and we'll wrap about it.
08:56It's an April in the D confidence meter.
08:59I know I will be punished by hearing that song at least one more time today.
09:03At least.
09:04But rank it out.
09:05Tigers to win the central.
09:06Michigan to win the title.
09:08Pistons to make the final.
09:09I didn't include the wings, but Kenny and Rico have offered legislation and the wings are in.
09:15Because they both have it ahead of the Pistons making the final.
09:20I don't.
09:20Mine would would go Tiger Central, Michigan.
09:25Pistons wings.
09:27But I want to talk about it because they all have very legitimate chances of happening.
09:31I'll include the Pistons.
09:32You're right.
09:32It's a coin flip.
09:33That's legitimate.
09:34That's not, you know, 10 percent odds or something.
09:36So we can roll with it.
09:38But nice day for the Tigers.
09:40Oh, God, please.
09:42No.
09:43April in the D.
09:45Oh, God.
09:46Kenny, do you realize no one under the age of 35 knows what that song is?
09:50I was at the age of 35.
09:51Yeah, but that's only because we introed you to it.
09:53No, it's not.
09:54I knew that.
09:54I was there for the contest day.
09:56You were six.
09:57Yeah.
09:57It was.
09:58It's ingrained in my childhood memory.
10:00It's like.
10:01Yeah.
10:01What?
10:01In your Dale Earnhardt onesie.
10:04It's like those commercials with the catchy jingle.
10:08It gets stuck in your head.
10:09It's the cars for kids.
10:10It's it's it's one of those.
10:12OK, well, we'll get to some phone calls and some text communication.
10:16Oh, my God.
10:18All right.
10:18It's the O'Reilly's theme song.
10:20Yeah.
10:22Ninety seven one.
