00:00It's a cookie jar brought to you by Moran Chevrolet, where you always get the best price, period.
00:05What's your go-to excuse to get out of plans?
00:08I don't really have a go-to excuse because I'm not a big fan of excuses.
00:13I'll just tell you why I'm not going out.
00:16I'm tired. I was busy. It was a long week.
00:19I don't want to go out tonight.
00:21And I'll just call you up and tell you, or I'll shoot you a text and be like,
00:25Hey, dude, I'm not going out.
00:27It's been a long week. I'm tired.
00:29Whatever it is, I'll just tell you what it is.
00:31And sometimes, hey, Teddy's sick, or the kid's just got something else.
00:35There's a conflict. Like, I didn't see it. Sorry, man. Not going out.
00:40Not feeling so great.
00:42I guess it's always, I'm not feeling good, or I blame it on the kids.
00:45So you guys have the kids' excuse. It's the great excuse.
00:48Oh, they got to practice, or something came up.
00:51Now everybody in Heather's life knows her fake sick voice.
00:54Right, yeah.
00:58Here we go again. Heather's canceling.
01:01I got to tell you, this shift is a good excuse. I got to get up in the morning. I
01:04got to quick turn around.
01:05Which is not wrong. I don't see it. It's not that it shoots. It's a reason.
01:10Tom?
01:11Minus kids' activities, yeah.
01:13Somebody's got practice.
01:14Paul, if you don't want to go do something, do you have a go-to?
01:17I mean, not really.
01:19Okay, I read this differently. I was thinking of an excuse, like something I've already committed to.
01:24Like, yeah, I'll be there Friday night, and then Friday night rolls around, and now I don't want to go.
01:28I can't use work.
01:30If it's something I don't want to do, I just say, yeah, you know what, I got to get up
01:32early.
01:32I'm honest.
01:33But if I'm trying to get out of something I already committed to, that's when I go to, like, not
01:36feeling great.
01:37That's kind of my thing, too. It's like Friday night.
01:39Like, I just don't want to go.
01:41I'll tell you, I just don't want to go.
01:45That's what I would say. I mean, no, sorry.
01:48Can't make it.
01:49It's not you. It's me.
01:50I got a question about adding or subtracting inches.
01:53Okay.
01:54How many inches of your height would you be willing to lose for money?
01:57A hundred grand per inch.
01:59What would you pay?
02:01I'll even give you the chance to pay a hundred grand to add an inch.
02:05Okay.
02:07So, putting my grown-up hat on,
02:11I actually asked Lisa this question,
02:16and she wanted to do the combo.
02:18Like, if she gave up an inch of her height,
02:21I gave up two inches of my height,
02:24then she would be 5'6", I'd be 6'5",
02:26we'd get 300 grand.
02:29Personally, I would only be willing to give up
02:32two inches of my physical height.
02:36Because...
02:36You got quite a bit to give up, though.
02:37You could be 6'2",
02:38and make a lot of money.
02:40You know, everybody has...
02:41He likes looking down on people.
02:43I like walking into a room and being...
02:48Right or wrong, I don't care.
02:49It's been my whole life.
02:50That's part of why I had an issue with losing weight.
02:52I didn't want to lose weight,
02:53because I like walking into a room
02:55knowing I'm the biggest guy in the room.
02:58And the rest of my life,
02:59I don't want to walk into a room and be like,
03:02oh, Colin's taller than me.
03:05I like being tall.
03:06I'm relatively tall, I think, for a female.
03:08I'm 5'8".
03:10But, to get some money,
03:12the average height of a woman in the U.S. is 5'3".
03:15So, I could lose several inches and still be average.
03:195'3", that's the average height?
03:20When I Googled it, that's what it said.
03:22So, I think I'd take half a mil.
03:23That's not bad.
03:24And then I looked up, like,
03:25okay, what actresses are 5'3"?
03:27Just so I get an idea.
03:28Scarlett Johansson, Natalie Portman,
03:30Amanda Seyfried, all 5'3".
03:32Reese Witherspoon, 5'2".
03:34And they appear taller.
03:36So, you know what?
03:36I think I'd go 5'3".
03:37I'd get half a mil and then be good.
03:39It's so much easier for a woman to answer.
03:42Yeah, I'll take 5 inches off my height.
03:44I'm right at 6 foot.
03:45If I took 5 inches off my height,
03:47I'd be short.
03:47You might have to measure.
03:49Okay.
03:50Here's the thing.
03:52Wait, he says 6, right?
03:53Yeah.
03:53Yeah, he is.
03:55Okay.
03:55I just might have to check.
03:57I would maybe go down to 5'10", 200 grand.
04:01That's as far as I'd be willing to go.
04:03I know.
04:03Is 100 grand worth it?
04:04Well, it's 200 grand.
04:06Oh, 200 grand.
04:06Okay.
04:07But then the rest of your life,
04:08once you've spent the 200 grand,
04:10you're 5'10".
04:11You're still 5'10".
04:11Yeah.
04:13I'd give up 2 inches and I'd still be average size.
04:155'9 is average size.
04:17Okay.
04:19Is it now?
04:21Can only imagine what they're going to do with that.
04:24Aaron Donald's working out with the Rams.
04:26Would you take them or the field to win the Super Bowl?
04:28All of these questions, I'd take the field
04:31because you have no idea.
04:33Is Aro Donald, if he does come back, going to be great?
04:36Yep.
04:36Miles Garrett, is he going to be great?
04:38Yep.
04:38You look at that defensive front, that offense,
04:41and there are going to be the odds on favorites
04:43to win the Super Bowl,
04:44but you have no idea what happens with injuries.
04:47You have no idea what happens with chemistry
04:49and things throughout the course of the year,
04:51so I'm going to take all 31 other teams
04:54to win the Super Bowl.
04:56I will too.
04:57The Rams are the favorite,
04:58but I look at Chiefs, Ravens, as Lions,
04:59as bounce-back candidates.
05:01I think the Rams and Bills,
05:03or not the Rams,
05:04the Seahawks and Bills are still in the mix,
05:06so I'd take the field.
05:09I would take the Rams, actually,
05:11if Aaron Donald is back.
05:13If he's not, I'd take the field.
05:15I just think how dominant they're going to be,
05:17that it would take a Matthew Stafford
05:19significant injury to derail that.
05:21Paul, would you take the Rams or the field?
05:23I'm taking the field,
05:23because you're an injury away.
05:25If Stafford gets injured,
05:26that team is in a lot of trouble,
05:27because...
05:28Well, they've got a first-round pick
05:28they could turn to.
05:29I mean, I guess.
05:31You can't throw Ty Simpson in there
05:33thinking he's going to win the Super Bowl, though.
05:36This weekend is a significant dessert weekend.
05:38We have National Mochi Day
05:40and National Frozen Custard Day.
05:43What is your go-to dessert?
05:45So I had to Google mochi.
05:47I didn't even know what that was.
05:48I'm not surprised you've never heard of it.
05:49What is...
05:50How would you describe mochi?
05:52I've never had it,
05:53but I've seen it in the grocery store.
05:55What are they, like, little ice cream balls?
05:56Yeah, but there's, like, a dough around them.
05:58Yeah.
05:59Oh.
05:59It's like a Japanese dessert.
06:00So you take cookie dough,
06:01and you put ice cream in the middle?
06:03Oh, that sounds good.
06:05That's not exactly how they...
06:06I mean, yes, they do,
06:07but that sounds better
06:09than what they actually look like, I think.
06:10My go-to is
06:12Mackinac Island fudge ice cream
06:14every single time,
06:15and Lisa knows if...
06:19Maybe there's a stressful week.
06:22If maybe she wants to ask me something
06:24that she just wants to grease the skids a little bit,
06:27have a little Mackinac Island fudge
06:28in the ice cream drawer there,
06:30and things are going to go well.
06:32It depends if I'm at home or at a restaurant.
06:35I typically don't eat dessert at home,
06:37and I go for, like, a bowl of cereal
06:38is, like, my dessert.
06:39That's your dessert.
06:40And then at a restaurant,
06:41I probably get ice cream
06:42or, like, go out to ice cream after.
06:44Yeah.
06:45Ice cream, but more specifically, gelato.
06:48I love gelato.
06:50Is it your eye roll?
06:55Gelato.
06:56Mine's ice cream, too.
06:57I really like chocolate chip ice cream.
06:59Like, I know it's kind of plain
07:00when you think about it.
07:01I like Mackinac Island fudge, too,
07:02but if I just need something sweet, quick,
07:04like, that's not super filling,
07:06just one dark chocolate.
07:08So good.
07:09You just let it melt your mouth
07:10and it sticks with you.
07:12Yeah.
07:14Boy, you're on a roll today.
07:15Yeah.
07:16Paul, you got a top dessert.
07:17What's the go-to?
07:18I think it would be
07:18cookies and cream ice cream.
07:20All right.
07:21If the Tigers make the playoffs,
07:23they're within a game right now.
07:25Who will be the X factor
07:26that gets them in?
07:27Dylan Dingler.
07:29Maybe the best Buckeye ever.
07:31And it's the way
07:32that he can manage
07:33the pitching staff.
07:34So you get Jackson Jobe out there.
07:36I want Dingler behind the dish.
07:38And it's his ability,
07:39the defense.
07:40It's his, you know,
07:41pitch selection.
07:42It's how he can calm
07:44a, you know,
07:45a pitcher.
07:46I obviously I'm not out there,
07:47but it feels like
07:48that is the case.
07:51And then, I mean,
07:52he's a gold glove guy,
07:53but it's also what he is doing.
07:54He is on absolute fire.
07:56There's no doubt.
07:57He's the best catcher
07:58in baseball.
07:58Yeah.
07:59I went X factor
07:59as more of like a swing player,
08:01someone who they could get
08:02more out of.
08:03Of course you did.
08:03You're a swinger.
08:05Max Clark.
08:06Always about hitting
08:06with this guy.
08:07Max Clark is my answer.
08:09They're five and one
08:09since he's come up.
08:10He's an on-base guy.
08:12He lengthens the lineup.
08:14And how about this?
08:15A little defense
08:15in the outfield
08:16goes a long way
08:17to help a team
08:17that could use it.
08:20This is hard.
08:21There are tons of candidates,
08:23but I'm going to go back
08:24to the reason
08:25why I think this team
08:26is where it's at this year,
08:27the bullpen.
08:28And I'm going with
08:28Kenley Jansen.
08:29Somebody's got to rise up
08:31and he's actually been
08:31pitching well lately.
08:32It's gotten way overlooked.
08:34He's only given up
08:35one run since June 28th.
08:37His ERA has dropped
08:38from,
08:38what was it,
08:395-3-1 to 3-9-4.
08:41He's pitching well.
08:42And I also think
08:43there's a little bit
08:44of veteran leadership
08:45coming with him
08:46when they made the trades.
08:47He said,
08:48it's time for us
08:48to get a chip
08:49on our shoulder.
08:50So what you're saying
08:51is the Tigers
08:51will make the playoffs
08:53based on Jansen.
08:54Yes.
08:55It always comes back
08:56to John.
08:56Always up to John.
08:57Yep.
08:58Paul,
08:58you got an X-factor?
08:59Troy Melton.
09:01He's been the best pitcher
09:02in the American League
09:03this year.
09:03He'd win the Cy Young
09:05if he could actually
09:05qualify for it.
09:06Unfortunately,
09:07he's about 10 starts
09:07behind what you need to do.
09:09I think if he's
09:10in the playoffs,
09:11I think this would be
09:13hilarious if he's
09:14put in the same position
09:15as Scoobo,
09:15but delivers.
09:16Yes.
09:17That would be amazing.
09:19Preach, Paul.
09:20That's a cookie jar
09:21brought to you by
09:21Moran Chevrolet 97.1.
