00:00We've spent a lot of time on the Larkin trade request.
00:03Quick pit stop.
00:04We'll get back into it.
00:05It's the cookie jar brought to you by Moran Chevrolet, where you always get the best price,
00:10period.
00:12What's your favorite Detroit sports trade of all time?
00:15I'd probably have to say the Miggy trade, and I liked it.
00:21One, it brought a great player to Detroit.
00:23He never ultimately won a World Series, but every time he was at bat, it was exciting.
00:30He won the Triple Crown.
00:32Every time he came to bat, even in his final years, there was still some excitement of just
00:38bat-to-ball, wasn't as many home runs, never going to be a doubles threat or a triple threat,
00:44but he just was exciting every time he was at the plate.
00:48He's probably the best player a team has ever traded for in the city of Detroit.
00:52Probably, yeah.
00:53Maybe not as impactful.
00:55It didn't create championships like other players, but this isn't the best trade.
00:59It was your favorite.
01:00Your favorite.
01:01Like, you could point to Rasheed or Shani, and Shanahan was great because my mom's side's
01:07Irish, and he would do the Irish jig when he'd score.
01:09When you're a younger kid, it's awesome.
01:11Those are going to be popular.
01:12Led to what?
01:13Three cups?
01:14Yeah, pretty good.
01:16I also decided to go more memorable.
01:18Yeah.
01:19I was at the ballpark the day Austin Jackson was traded for David Price, and he jogged out
01:23of center field as the Tigers went for it.
01:26What a concept.
01:27And added David Price.
01:28I'll always remember that day.
01:30Greg?
01:30Yeah, I'll say Rasheed Wallace.
01:32I was a senior in college.
01:34Put the team of my college years over the top and won a championship.
01:38So I'll say the Rasheed trade.
01:39Yeah, it's all about championships for me, and that's why it's Shanahan.
01:43He was absolutely the perfect fit for what that team was missing, and it only took a
01:49few months to realize how he fit in perfectly.
01:52He fell in perfectly with Iserman as the captain and followed suit, also knew how to handle
01:58Fedorov, and I just think it was, what, six months after he came here, the Avs brawl,
02:05he was on the ice pummeling somebody.
02:08If you want to go value Chris Draper for a buck, but I know Tom doesn't like drapes.
02:14Well, it looks like the team currently has a bunch of Drapers.
02:16That's kind of my opinion, and he is the assistant GM, so.
02:19Okay, then.
02:20High socks or low socks?
02:22This, to me, depends on footwear.
02:24On a regular basis, I'm a low sock guy, because I wear tennis shoes, and I just, there's no
02:32point in having long socks, so I always wear short socks.
02:35If I'm wearing boots of any kind, it has to be long socks.
02:39I cannot wear, even if it's a, you know, kind of a mid-top, if the boot goes above my
02:46socks, no go.
02:47I'll have to wear long socks at that point.
02:49Sure, I agree with that, but for me, it's normally short socks or no socks.
02:54No socks?
02:54No socks.
02:55Yeah.
02:55And you don't wash your feet, that's, mmm, stinky feet.
02:59But if I'm wearing boots, I don't want to wear low socks with boots.
03:03Yeah, I mean, yesterday, I took Teddy for a walk in the woods.
03:07I put on my muck boots, because I knew it was going to be muddy, but I didn't want to
03:10go all the way upstairs for my long socks, and it just feels weird.
03:15It's low socks.
03:17The high socks, you look like a goober.
03:19Oh, yeah, especially if you're going to wear long socks and pull them up with shorts.
03:24With shorts.
03:25I mean, you don't see them with pants.
03:26Dork alert.
03:27Yeah.
03:29I'm going to go to Vince Young for the guidance here.
03:32Vince Young in college, low socks, was dominant.
03:36Vince Young, high socks in the NFL, eh.
03:39So I'll go with the low socks.
03:41They look better.
03:41Can't argue with that.
03:42I have this weird thing where I can't wear short socks in the winter.
03:46I don't like there being potential air.
03:49Snow on the ankles.
03:50Yes, I don't like that.
03:51It really, really bothers me.
03:53You know, you just have those things about yourself that really agitate you.
03:56That does for me.
03:57So I wear two inches of frostbite above your socks.
03:59Wear longer socks in the winter, and then usually shorter in the summer.
04:04Although I do have longer white ones on right now.
04:07I'm an old dad bod.
04:11All right.
04:13This is mostly targeted for John, because I know his answer.
04:17Are shorts appropriate work attire?
04:20For me, no.
04:23Unless you're an athlete, which I wore shorts all the time as a professional athlete, or you're a gym teacher.
04:30No, shorts are not appropriate for me to wear.
04:34I don't get offended if other people wear shorts.
04:35That's their own prerogative, but no, there's no way.
04:39I've only worn shorts one time since I've been working here, and that was because I think we were at
04:47the Gibby golf outing,
04:48and I knew I wasn't going to have an opportunity to change into shorts before we went out golfing.
04:53Yeah, obviously it depends on the job, but I would say overall, no.
04:58No?
04:59I mean, I have noticed somebody here has been wearing shorts a lot.
05:03I think somebody's wearing shorts today.
05:04And I'm sure he is, and I've definitely noticed that it just seems odd.
05:09Like, it doesn't seem right.
05:11You think at this job, shorts are, like, unprofessional?
05:15I mean, it's caught my attention.
05:17I've definitely taken note.
05:18Yeah, it's office setting.
05:19Yeah.
05:20But I'm not dressed appropriate either.
05:22I mean, I'm basically wearing pajamas, so.
05:24Like, I get it, my doctor and my lawyer probably aren't going to be wearing shorts, but, like, just at
05:28the office in the summertime?
05:30Yeah, sure.
05:30Well, who cares?
05:32In this job, I think shorts are okay when you're just having your normal day.
05:37Yesterday, I had a meeting in the afternoon here.
05:41I'm not wearing shorts.
05:42I'm meeting with somebody from outside.
05:44Right.
05:44There's a, at least waiting.
05:45I still had jeans on.
05:46I probably should have been more professional, but I don't know.
05:48They weren't, so I was dressed for the situation.
05:51Right.
05:51I mean, I don't see why people, like, some people around here wear sweatpants, King.
05:56Oh, boy.
05:57Seriously.
05:58Strays.
05:59I'm just stating a fact.
06:00Yeah.
06:00King wears sweatpants to work.
06:01Well, there's some nice sweatpants now.
06:03Those sweatpants might have cost a lot of money.
06:05King's look like the 1985 gray sweatpants.
06:08Like, the first sweatpants ever.
06:09Well, wait.
06:09While we're calling people out, who's wearing shorts?
06:12Brendan.
06:13Oh, our updates.
06:15Oh, Greg's wearing shorts?
06:16Oh, see, I didn't even notice, Greg.
06:18Brendan's been wearing them for, like, a week.
06:20Greg's unnoticeable.
06:21No, but I haven't noticed.
06:23He's not in the studio with us.
06:25Right.
06:25But Brendan comes in top of the hour.
06:27Yeah.
06:27All week, he's been in shorts.
06:29I've made a mental note.
06:30I don't know why.
06:31He's basically a teenager.
06:32Not that he looks bad.
06:33It's not, like, inappropriate to me, but I've definitely noticed.
06:36I haven't even noticed, because to me, who the hell cares?
06:39I don't.
06:40I don't.
06:41But apparently, I've just.
06:42Like Tom just said, you dress for the occasion.
06:46Yeah.
06:46And, you know, if he's going to a business meeting, the thing about it is, like, I never know who
06:51I'm going to run into.
06:52And I just always want to be, to me, what I believe is professional.
06:56So, yeah, I think shorts are okay.
06:59You do have to have a little classier.
07:01You can't be looking like the mid-2000s college basketball shorts.
07:04You can't wear those.
07:05There are different kinds of shorts.
07:06You don't want to be wearing the.
07:07No, he's talking the baggy ones.
07:08Oh, the baggy ones.
07:09Oh, I thought you were going full Daisy Dukes.
07:11But if you get, like, a khaki short on, and you can pair it up with a button-up or
07:14something.
07:15Those look nice.
07:16I'm attending a wedding this weekend.
07:18What's the key to a good best man made of honor speech?
07:21Short and sweet.
07:22And if comedy is not your thing, don't go there.
07:25Like that.
07:28And for those that aren't giving the best man speech, or for the bride and groom, sure,
07:34that can be hilarious.
07:35Those bombs are sometimes the best.
07:37But keep it short.
07:38Keep it sweet.
07:39People want to dance.
07:40They want to drink.
07:40They don't want to be sitting there just short and sweet.
07:43Yeah, humor, heart, nothing too cringy, like, story-wise or inappropriate.
07:50But yeah, I mean, and also don't be, like, reading off a sheet of paper.
07:53Or your phone.
07:54Or your phone now, I guess.
07:55Yeah, it's your phone.
07:56Yeah, I mean, to me, it's three minutes tops.
07:59Yeah.
08:00Brief, humor, and heartfelt, and then get the hell out.
08:04Yeah, because you've got one you're going to this weekend, right?
08:06That's why we bring this up.
08:07I mean, look, if you want to give a little advice and a toast, and then you're out.
08:10Yeah.
08:12Yeah, make it brief, and try to get a laugh once, and exactly once.
08:18Right, yeah.
08:18And if that one doesn't end, and if you want to capitalize on it, if you're rolling, go
08:23for it.
08:24But also know that you could be the butt of the joke moving forward.
08:27Yeah, don't act like you're a stand-up comedian.
08:29Yeah.
08:30Keep it short.
08:31Yep.
08:31Last question.
08:32Russell Wilson's retiring.
08:34Is he a Hall of Famer?
08:35I don't believe so.
08:38And the reason is, I think winning a Super Bowl, that's not the instant you've got to
08:44be a Hall of Famer, because if that's the case, then Sam Darnold's going in, there's
08:47other quarterbacks that are going to go in.
08:50And I think the detriment is, when he was with Seattle, he was really good.
08:56But what happened when he went to Denver?
08:57What happened when he went to the Giants?
08:59Like, it just, you know, in Pittsburgh.
09:01He didn't have a second act.
09:03Right.
09:03And I think that's going to hold him back.
09:05I think he's in the Hall of Very Good.
09:06I don't think he's a Hall of Famer.
09:08I agree.
09:08Pro Football Reference does a Hall of Fame score, and 100 is considered Hall of Fame.
09:1394.8 for Russell Wilson.
09:15Just shy.
09:17I don't think he's a Hall of Famer, but here's the thing.
09:20I think he played his way out of the Hall of Fame.
09:23If he retires from Seattle, instead of gets traded to Denver, I think there's a stronger
09:29case for him to be a Hall of Famer.
09:31I don't think he's a Hall of Famer.
09:33Look, the most important pass of his career, he threw an interception.
09:38I mean, he gets no blame because of the play call, and it was the wrong play call.
09:43Right.
09:43But he's the one that threw the pass.
09:44Yeah.
09:44He could have thrown it away.
09:45He should have read the coverage, saw it coming, and thrown it away.
09:48It's not his fault.
09:49The greatest defensive mind of all time came up with that coverage.
09:52Nobody's throwing interceptions.
09:56Matt Patricia was just too smart.
09:57Right.
09:58Yeah.
09:58Yeah.
09:58Yeah.
09:59That pencil really made the difference.
10:00No kidding.
10:01That's the cookie jar.
10:02It's 97-1.
