00:00busted the game open right after scuba left
00:04good morning 97-1 jim costa john jansen's back heather park's back
00:09gov and greg behind the glass gang's all here yeah and it really feels good to be back and i'm
00:15hoping that i can guide you a little bit more and i know hey you know stoney is when he's
00:24in
00:24everybody loves it we love his his the laughs but it feels like things get a little bit
00:32off the rails and off the rails when i'm not here because you did something that
00:38you have anything in mind i i just i think i could have prevented you from doing john i was
00:44being the
00:44ultimate patriot were you i was believing in my country yeah and and i i know that i stood up
00:54played the national anthem when you asked the question of the cookie jar who's gonna win the
00:58world cup i said usa but it was it's like when we do our picks which everyone knows i pretty
01:06much suck
01:06at so by the way who got the most games right on the show last year yeah last year yeah
01:12hey it's a
01:12new season we're guys getting crucified for a bad pick come on now no it's not the pick is that
01:17that's
01:17not it at all and i want to make sure that we're focused on it's not making picks we all
01:22know with
01:22all the gambling sites everything that's going on hell it's infiltrated all of our sports that
01:28making picks isn't the issue when we know when we make picks we could be wrong that's why i don't
01:37jansen lock anything could you imagine if you did though we gotta bust out a jansen lock one of these
01:43weeks yeah i i i just i'm not i'm sure the opportunity will present itself at some point
01:50but if i do and i'm wrong i don't know that i'll jump back into that pool as quickly or
01:56as often
01:57as you do because i was unplugged for a large part of the week in terms of social media and
02:05obviously
02:05i was i was a three-hour time change so i wasn't getting up at three o'clock in the
02:09morning to listen
02:09to to you and stony but then on monday night i got a ton of text messages into tuesday morning
02:17and i'm
02:17looking at my phone going what the hell is going on only to find out that you
02:25with the history that the united states men's national team has had you decided it was a
02:31brilliant idea to cost the lock a win over belgium we were getting balligan back what were you thinking
02:38we were feeling good i was feeling patriotic and yeah it's a curse of conviction but listen if we do
02:46this thing i'm mike saran i'm gonna say stuff i'm gonna be wrong but i was feeling it i was
02:51feeling
02:51confident and i said what i said and i'm not promising it won't happen again it's not about
02:55being right or wrong see i thought this was the most reckless cost of law lock of all time careful
03:01there yeah you can call it whatever you want and i agree i like there was no evidence really that
03:12they could take down a respected like with that day i said that morning the the rankings they're
03:18ninth in the world in the u.s was 16 and then i said oh they're kind of like notre
03:21dame with a
03:22number next to their name they haven't beat anybody they hadn't they hadn't beat anybody
03:30who'd the u.s beat uh we had beaten paraguay pretty handily and paraguay had advanced into the
03:36knockout round oh so we're we're basing this on a win over paraguay no but we also we hadn't lost
03:42period with our best 11 out there belgium had we won two games belgium hadn't well no and then
03:50we beat bosnia and herzigovina so we won three games really four if you think about it bosnia and
03:56herzigovina belgium hadn't beaten anybody draw draw they beat new zealand that was their big win
04:02you gave no weight though to the fact that a the history of this team and this is usually where
04:08they go out and b was the fact that they had an easy group as what people a lot of
04:16people thought
04:16thought they were planted an easy group to advance because they wanted the team and then also the
04:22other two continental teams mexico and canada got exposed in the right you do all that aside the
04:29extra game you got caught up in an extra win that used to not exist in the round of 32
04:34and balligan
04:36yeah yeah we're getting our guy our big striker now i didn't think pulisic christian pulisic was
04:42gonna do what he did just no show he let me down he let our country down he was hurt
04:48he got hurt in the
04:49game yeah no he has time to rest plenty of time four years maybe longer who knows if he'll be
04:55back
04:57anyway no we might as well just do this now things you missed while you were gone so yes you
05:01missed
05:01the cost of lock you missed sock puppets it was my attempt to talk to explain to talk through this
05:08iserman larkin thing because they don't really talk to each other it's frosty so i attempted to
05:11talk through this with the sock puppets oh you're not a real leader you don't do enough to add to
05:17this
05:18hockey team i did see that he added another team to his list depending on which question you believe
05:27which puppet you believe sorry he said it not me but no you do wonder like is elaine st james
05:35getting it from the team she's been steadfast it's three it's three it's three answer con of
05:39m live says i'm here in dallas and then she goes no it's still three i don't know i don't
05:43know but
05:43it would make sense that dallas would be appealing to dylan larkin dallas is a good hockey club yeah
05:49um but yeah and the one thing that always comes up now there's no state tax right there you go
05:55but are there enough u.s olympians on that team i don't know john i just i don't feel like
06:01there's
06:02really a degree of seriousness from either party and it's reinforcing this idea that you've put out that
06:07this is here this is just going to be what it is he's playing for the wings this season well
06:11and it's
06:11it's the hard-headed general manager that you have in steve eiserman who's not going to make a deal
06:18that's not good for the wings but it's also does he really want to be traded if those are the
06:23only
06:24three teams and oh maybe we'll add dallas maybe it's is maybe it's not does does he really want out
06:31only if it's to a stanley cup favorite and on the flip side how badly does eiserman want to trade
06:37him
06:37if he's asking for the moon the stars and and and everything he can get you're not getting wyatt
06:42johnston you're not getting matt boldy like he's not seriously trying to trade him either well i i have
06:48no problem with him asking for those things as long as he is okay with them coming back quickly and
06:53saying
06:53no no and no in the case of both minnesota and dallas um okay you missed verlander's retirement he's
07:02going to be at the all-star game this will be his final season it's i don't want to say
07:07it's sad um
07:09because it's it's an unbelievable career it's it's sad only for those that were really excited not
07:16because they thought he was going to come back as verlander of old but because they wanted to be in
07:21the stands and it was me having watched him as a young adult or as an adult and then wanting
07:29to
07:29take jack or teddy or the girls to be able to see a legend that we just haven't been able
07:35to see
07:36and you want it to end with a better story and a better send-off than justin verlander is getting
07:43yeah just limping to the finish line here just get one moment one start one opportunity at comerica park
07:48for everybody because i talked about it i'm younger than you but for me that was my introduction to the
07:52tigers being a fun baseball team was the 06 season with rookie justin verlander and that the winning
07:57that would come from that season was how i got into baseball so i really owe verlander for my love
08:03of baseball in addition to some others but he was at the forefront of that so we talked a little
08:08bit
08:08about that last week jemai jones you missed it he's gone dfa not surprised i mean the only thing
08:14that's surprising is that it took that long yeah you missed eduardo valencia coming up in his absence
08:18and having a hell of a moment that was so much fun to watch and i think i mentioned i
08:22watch a lot of
08:23baseball with my father-in-law he's a former baseball player and he's a dodgers and and anaheim
08:30angels guys because that's where they lived in la for a long time but to be able to watch the
08:34tigers
08:35and to see that moment first at bat home run after you know toiling for so long in the minors
08:43and then to watch the post game interview it just was you you couldn't help but almost get a little
08:49choked up watching him with his family there and i'm looking at it from a player's perspective of
08:56okay i'm going to replay that in the locker room because it was a squeaky voice he's crying and all
09:01this stuff so i understand what was going to happen behind closed doors and what he was in for
09:07after having that moment yeah he's been in the system since 2018 long time coming um our update
09:13guys different this week it's going to be jeremy auto you missed that he doesn't grill and maybe
09:17getting gifted a grill as they exposed him in the afternoons last week and he laid that bombshell
09:21on me like that's okay so all of these other ones i had heard about and looked at and watched
09:25and and
09:26you know i was not here for them but i did witness them that was laid on to me about
09:3230 seconds before
09:34we went to air and i mean this is a guy with three kids father of nine yeah right i
09:41love how his
09:41family keeps growing yeah um and i actually asked the question before he hit the on air button how do
09:49you cook okay we all know we have ovens we have stoves we have all different ways that we can
09:55cook but
09:56in in in our house i would say 95 percent of our dinners i cook some of it on the
10:06grill and i would
10:08say for larger than 50 percent of lunches i cook on the grill how about this you can give him
10:14a hard
