00:02so we talked about this at the end of last hour we talked about at the beginning and it was
00:09the
00:09fact that you don't have a grill i don't and yes which i then asked how do you cook
00:16i do need a little clarification i know you're a hard-working man yeah um does your wife do most
00:23of the cooking at home i would say yes but here's the thing so my normal shift is one to
00:28seven
00:28right so most of the time the kids and her have eaten by the time i get home okay so
00:33you're not
00:33even home for dinner right which is kind of a bummer for me but i get it i mean it's
00:36seven o'clock
00:37the kids theoretically want to go to bed in an hour should go to bed in an hour whether that's
00:41the case or not but right yeah mom and dad want them to go to bed yeah so i mean
00:44i'll wake up and
00:45get them their cereal and you know sometimes um you know i'll make lunch or my wife will make lunch
00:51so i think that's kind of split okay so i'm understanding a little bit more as to the
00:57the family dynamics have you grilled before like is this something that you are proficient at or at
01:03least know how to do um well no because i know i mean so here's the thing have you've never
01:07owned
01:07a grill i've never owned a grill but i my parents didn't have a grill growing up so that's my
01:13defense
01:14so we're gonna blame mom and dad no i think there's some therapy we're doing here but i didn't move
01:18out mommy and daddy issues let's get the sock puppets out i didn't i didn't move out of my house
01:22until i
01:23got married though so there was no how old were you when that happened we're going deep on this
01:27one this is 25 26 okay okay all right well maybe you're gonna say like 30 how old are you
01:34now 32
01:36okay all right so there's still time for you jeremy what's it what's a key thing you have to do
01:40when
01:40you light a propane grill step back i don't know tell me give me the knowledge you turn on the
01:48propane and you've got your igniter or whatever but you got to open the lid don't let that propane
01:53simmer in there and it get it because it'll go right in your face yeah and then you lose your
01:57eyebrows so your hair yeah that was the hair on your arms good thing i'm in radio i guess
02:03are there any other tips i should know hairs on your arm are there any other tips i don't know
02:07what kind they're getting me if they're if they actually are getting he might be getting a free
02:10grill out of this we say might we'll see get him a foreman george yes again that would be the
02:18plug
02:18in the cost aversion no i don't have an electric grill john well i hope the best for you i
02:26hope that
02:26this is a whole new experience because yeah i'm the thing is people think oh you're not open to it
02:31i'm open to it i just just never i don't know it's not a priority maybe that's a bad thing
02:35oh i'll tell
02:36a great rabbit hole to go down yeah and uh this is this is one that it'll actually put a
02:42little
02:43hair on your chest is is just google grills okay and different cooking styles and different
02:51options that you can have on grills trust me there are there is no end to that rabbit hole
02:56oh i can imagine you can start to dream about all the whether it's brisket it's steak you could even
03:03go fish and you could grill veggies you can be you could actually make veggies edible are you a
03:08corn on the grill guy oh yeah in the car yeah oh yeah i'm noticing a theme though you don't
03:14own a
03:14grill our regular update guy who's out this week brendan shabath also doesn't own a grill now he's
03:19younger sure about a decade younger do any of our update does luke sloan own a grill do any of
03:24the
03:25people own a grill i don't know that's a good question that might be inherent to the position
03:31yeah so is is it the fact that i have kids that don't have a grill that's the most surprising
03:35thing
03:35you're a 32 year old you're a man you don't grill even a little bit i'm sorry i'm sorry but
03:42i do
03:42understand a little bit more it's just never been a part of your life yeah i'm just telling you
03:47it will open up so many more options of yummy food i believe it it's a game changer i believe
03:55it yeah we might be able to put a little meat on those bones yet all right we'll stop interrogating
04:00you i know you got places to be thank you it's jeremy auto we're blessed to have been this week
04:04all right as i told shabath an upgrade for this week yes thank you yeah that's what i told brendan
04:09on saturday brendan also not the person who hates cheese oh yes we do have to solve that
04:15was that learn at the party was it someone at the party yes okay so just a quick so i
04:20guess we
04:20can take you off the list then too you know i respond somebody somebody responded and say it must
04:25be him it's like no i love cheese so quick backstory 8 35 i'll pay this off saturday kenny
04:31cot celebration of life great turnout tiki bar very kenny hot dog roller people sharing stories
04:36someone had shared with me they don't like cheese and they're not a lactose intolerant person
04:42mac and cheese no a cheeseburger no doesn't like cheese there's someone we work with you hear
04:48their voice out of the speaker i'll reveal at 8 35 who it is anytime you say this i instantly
04:53go to old
04:54school and when i forget the the characters they but when he goes he the the nerd who was the
05:04i don't know the supervisor the dean yeah when he goes cheese
05:10so that's his nickname there were many guesses um do you guys have one you want to lock in i
05:16won't
05:16confirm it one way or another so no i'm still i'm still analyzing okay you want to lock in a
05:21guess
05:21anyone behind the glass yeah i do i'm guessing you could place a bet on a 27 percent uh whether
05:28this
05:28guy likes cheese or not oh you want to lock in mark ryan i do tom you want to lock
05:32in anybody
05:34you keep saying it's somebody that has a voice on the air which tells me it's not a regular on
05:39-air
05:39host i'm just trying to throw it throw us throw us off a little bit just casting as wide a
05:45net as
05:45possible i have two options that i'm just not sure if i've settled on one yet i'm just gonna go
05:51off
05:51the grid here and say corbin simons okay he's kind of a he's an la sports fan the weirdo to
05:57begin
05:57he likes the dodgers john doesn't know who that is question who is that oh come on you've seen
06:03him he's maybe worked a show or two of ours as a producer tall taller dude tall lanky that's the
06:10one that i actually thought of too i don't know why he's like a i think volante calls him like
06:14a
06:15detective or something like that inspector gadget or something he was at the memorial too so that
06:19i didn't know that yeah so you're gonna lock in cory we got to vote for mark cory cory yeah
06:26corbin corbin excuse me there's no way it's him now
06:31corbin uh john's gonna wait yeah i've got two that i'm back and forth in my mind here okay
06:38and heather any guesses at all i'm still thinking okay you guys ponder it he's jeremy otto we'll do
06:43that at 8 35 and we'll do bad food takes because not liking cheese is a bad food yes all
06:47right uh
06:48on bob nightingale he says tarek scoobal wants to be here zero appetite to be traded bob nightingale
06:53also added this in his scoop list of stories going into the uh all-star break forget the
06:59narrative the tigers could thread the needle and trade scoobal while also acquiring players
07:03either they go all in or all out
07:11so do i think that they trade scoobal and then go buy a big bat i i i don't i
07:20think they could
07:20thread the needle like they did a couple of years ago where they they sold flaherty and then made a
07:26run they could sell scoobal because while scoobal is the ace of this pitching staff you still have
07:34melton you still have mize you still have a quality group of of a pitching staff to where you can
07:41still
07:41win a number of games now they basically have a six-man rotation now if they dealt scoobal they'd
07:45still have five you get job at some point back right i'm not banking on verlander but there's
07:49another arm in in our you know orbit yeah i just i don't i don't think there's a world where
07:53you do
07:53both where yeah look if you traded scoobal away and got major league borderline caliber bats and
08:01those guys appeared in games down the stretch that's not it doesn't qualify as doing both no
08:05you're not going to go buy a i know we had a caller earlier talk about you know bringing in
08:10one of the
08:11philly bats uh he said bringing in a player like harper right yeah harper those guys aren't for sale
08:17no and i auto is asking this off air do you want them to to buy and i said well
08:22not a rental
08:23like there's a world where if there's a deal that made sense where they could bring in a multi-year
08:26player that they liked at the plate i'd be open to it but in terms of traditional buying where you
08:31add
08:31rental bats right they're not in it enough and especially if they're trading scoobal and that's
08:36the responsible thing to do they're even further out i would not be mortgaging the future would not be
08:41trading prospects of note would not be buying at this deadline no not where they stand today
08:46no but the question is will they do enough can they do enough to change that to change
08:56whether or not they sell scoobal well that's the dance we've been doing for a couple last couple
09:01weeks here really well i mean the last couple weeks honestly for the last couple years but
09:05especially since the month of may well may was so bad i think we were all resigned it's a total
09:10sell
09:11june they've been so good that then that question has now propped up i guess it's been a couple months
09:15now what do you want them to do and i'm still of the belief they're not back in it yet
09:22i don't know if you feel like they're back in it they're eight below 500 you have famously given the
09:26stat you have to finish at or above 500 to make the playoffs it's just the way it is in
09:31baseball
09:31it is and they are in fourth place in their division now only three and a half back in the
09:36wild card that's the topsy turviness of the american league but boston's red hot detroit still has more
09:42work to do they only have 16 games until the trade deadline and the responsible thing would be to take
09:46scoobal away from this group so the question then is will they it's not a question of can they win
09:52a
09:52division i don't know that that i don't think i don't believe that that's on the table it's simply can
09:57they get in as a wild card and if you look at i mean all the teams that are either
10:02on the cut line
10:03or just below seattle minnesota they're right at the cut line boston houston baltimore toronto none of
10:10them are above 500 and so it is the fact that it is the american league and the opportunity is
10:19there for
10:20them still to get in as a wild card team if they could just simply get right there at 500
10:28because then at that point it's can you make that jump other teams are going to be selling
10:34the red sox are charging you know and they the tigers blew the opportunity that the red sox took
10:39they ran it all the way up to where they're only a half game out right now tigers could have
10:43been
10:43within one and a half after this weekend and i didn't expect them to sweep but they should have got
10:47saturday's win it's just we're getting to this point where okay what you just sell scoobal
10:53why don't you sell mys well i think they should try to extend mys i'm not against that but if
10:58you
10:58don't well i think the market for mys is less than scoobal of course so you'd get less you could
11:04qualify mys as you would scoobal and there's a greater chance of keeping mys in a bidding war in
11:11the off season than scoobal so so i'm i think there's a there's a risk you lose mys for quote
11:15nothing
11:16too but i think there's a better chance that you can keep him i mean no one thinks they're keeping
11:21scoobal to me it was saturday's loss where i'm just like that looked like a playoff game last year
11:26yeah because couldn't get the timely hitting it's like torque's gonna do that more times than not
11:31you know it not getting that clutch hit they they hit around sanchez a little bit 10 hits off him
11:37only
11:38scored two runs yeah so it's just i don't know man i i to me it's a no you have
11:44to trade scoobal no
11:45matter what yeah i mean i'm concerned he's hurt concerned he's hurting his value a little
11:49with the last couple outings where he hasn't been back period yeah from the injury yeah but the last
11:54couple he didn't get through the sixth right but and that's it's it's somewhat remarkable what he's
12:01doing because of having missed that time and still being able to come back and pitch the way that he
12:06is
12:06but he is taking more pitches and if if his limit is 95 or if it's 100 it doesn't matter
12:15you're he's getting there in the fifth versus the end of the sixth or the beginning of the seventh
12:21seems like a little bit of his deception is gone he's given up a lot of homer since he's been
12:26back
12:28yeah the contact's been hard contact and now the thing is they got they get the angels
12:33the orioles the royals and the a's before the deadline and then the cubs are sprinkled in there
12:38at wrigley where this team will probably hit better than they normally do yeah so you're saying
12:42let's watch them rattle off if they could go nine and three right but it's like they're gonna beat a
12:48bunch of garbage teams i mean i know the al is bad well they're playing the worst of them truth
12:52is
12:52nine and three would still have this team below 500 at the deadline right that's why i said friday
12:57they needed to win two out of three this weekend to get you to buy in uh texters have lots
13:04to say
13:04about tarek skuble we can make room on the phones 248-539-9797 he says he has zero appetite to
13:12be
13:12traded says he believes this team is a legitimate shot at the world series quote i've never lost faith
13:18that's from usa today's bob nightingale it's 97 one
13:21that's from usa today's bob nightingale it's 97 one
