00:00How about Matthew Stafford and the Monstars?
00:020-1 to start the NFL season.
00:04Couldn't happen to a better bunch.
00:06Miles Garrett, zero sacks, zero tackles.
00:09Was he even on the field?
00:10Did he make the trip?
00:11It's all jet lag.
00:12They're going to win the next...
00:1316?
00:14Yeah, no big deal.
00:16They might.
00:16Look at that schedule, though.
00:18It might be a rocky start.
00:19But that's what they threw this one away, right?
00:21We're going to show up the day of and get bombed
00:23and stay on our body clock for the rest of the season.
00:26Whoever won the game, it was going to be an indictment
00:28on how they decided to approach the game.
00:30I don't know that necessarily...
00:32It may be a little factor,
00:34but I don't think it played much of a factor.
00:36Okay, 835 will make some picks.
00:38We've got Acosta Locke, Heather with a two-game lead.
00:40Speaking of Heather,
00:42what was she thinking,
00:43and has this ever happened to you?
00:45So you just innocently shared before the show...
00:47Well, somebody asked me,
00:49are you going to the game?
00:50And I was like, well, no, I'm not going to the game.
00:51I'm going to the zoo on Sunday.
00:54And when did it hit that...
00:56Wait a second.
00:57So we had scheduled,
00:59we being some family members,
01:01scheduled a trip to the Toledo Zoo.
01:03This was back when the wildfire smoke
01:06was heavy in the area.
01:08And called the zoo and said,
01:10like a lot of the animals were going to be like,
01:13monitored, maybe inside the buildings.
01:15Like not a great day to go to the zoo, right?
01:17So we said, let's scrap it.
01:19We'll take a rain check.
01:20And I did not pick the date.
01:22I was given the date.
01:23Hey, does September 13th work?
01:24This is a couple months ago, right?
01:26Oh, so you have no voice.
01:27I just didn't think anything of it.
01:29Sure, September 13th.
01:30Yeah, why would a Sunday in September have any plans?
01:32I don't even know if I knew it was a Sunday.
01:33It was just here.
01:34Does this date work?
01:34So a while ago, I was like, yeah, sounds great.
01:36Let's go.
01:37Then I got a text again.
01:38It was like, hey,
01:39is Sunday good for the zoo still?
01:41And I said, you know what?
01:42It is.
01:44But following all of this,
01:45I kind of forgot I moved Brooks' soccer lessons,
01:48his class to Sunday mornings.
01:50So I said, you know, I'll still go to the zoo,
01:52but is there any other days available?
01:54Maybe a Saturday so I don't miss soccer.
01:57Nope, didn't work.
01:58Sunday it is.
01:59I'm like, all right, I'll go to the zoo.
02:00I said, yes, we're up for the zoo.
02:02And then I talked to Cal and I was like,
02:03hey, just so you know,
02:04Sunday we're going to the zoo.
02:06And he was like,
02:08no, we're not.
02:09No, I'm not.
02:10It's the Lions game.
02:12It's the first game.
02:13Hello.
02:14Okay.
02:15I said, well, I'll go to the zoo.
02:17I'll take the kids to the zoo
02:18and you can stay home.
02:20Compromise.
02:20There was not like any like issue.
02:22So I texted everyone and said,
02:23you know,
02:24it's just going to be me and the kids.
02:25And I did make it known
02:26like Colin wants to make sure he watches the game.
02:28And I thought maybe there'd be a text exchange like,
02:30oh yeah, the game.
02:32Maybe we should reschedule.
02:33But I heard nothing.
02:35So they're not big sports people, I take it.
02:38Well, they are.
02:39I mean, no, I guess not.
02:41Big sports people.
02:42I mean, I think that they enjoy watching games.
02:44They're like, oh, it's an afterthought.
02:46It was to me.
02:47I mean, I wasn't even thinking about it.
02:52It's probably one of those things too.
02:54It's not probably what you said.
02:57It's how you said it.
02:58And you probably don't even realize it.
03:01What did I do?
03:01The guilt that Colin could be facing right now.
03:07He does feel bad.
03:08He actually said like,
03:09can we go on a Saturday?
03:10Can we go another day?
03:11And I said, no, I guess not.
03:13What if you just don't go with these other people?
03:15Oh, I want to.
03:17I mean, that's part of going.
03:18Like, I want to go to the Toledo Zoo.
03:20The kids want to see elephants really badly.
03:22And I've heard great things about it.
03:23It's more important to go with them than it is with Colin.
03:26No, not, yeah, I guess so.
03:27Yes, I see Colin every single day.
03:29We go to the Detroit Zoo all of the time.
03:33And yes, there's only so many days of the year
03:35I get to hang out with these people.
03:36So yes, it is important to go with them.
03:39It's the tone that when you leave,
03:41it's probably, I hope you enjoy the game.
03:45I'm not disappointed, but I'm not upset that he's not going.
03:48Like, I'm not disappointed by this.
03:49You guys are turning this into something more than it is.
03:52I bet this dynamic exists, though.
03:55Or she made plans without even realizing.
03:57And now you got to either stay home and get guilt tripped
04:00or go and miss the game.
04:02And it might have been something that, you know,
04:03hey, three months ago, it wasn't top of mind Sunday in September.
04:08And you, you know, flippantly said, sure, I'll go.
04:11Yeah, family's going, I'll go.
04:12The most ridiculous thing is...
04:14And now you get to the date and you're waiting.
04:15It's the opening game of the season?
04:19The most ridiculous thing is one Sunday later,
04:22the Lions don't play.
04:24No.
04:24Or one Sunday before.
04:26There's other factors that are going into this decision
04:29on why it has to be...
04:30There's one factor.
04:31The Lions are playing football on Sunday.
04:32It's their first game.
04:34We've been waiting all year for it.
04:35Everybody's all excited and riled up and revved up.
04:37And you planned a zoo trip.
04:38I did not plan it.
04:40You okayed a zoo trip.
04:41I did not plan it.
04:42You okayed it.
04:43I okayed it.
04:43I said, sure, we'll go.
04:45There's one factor.
04:46She ignored the one factor.
04:47Yeah.
04:48You've heard of two-factor authentication?
04:49There's one factor.
04:50The wants and needs of her husband.
04:51Yeah.
04:51Come on.
04:53He is bummed he's not going.
04:55We've been trying to go to the Toledo Zoo for a long time.
04:57It has never worked out.
04:59He's going to receive all those pictures with his kids standing alone.
05:05So you can't see...
05:06Heather can't see the call screener.
05:08John, do you want to tell her who's on line one?
05:09Who is it?
05:10Nathan.
05:11Oh, hey!
05:12Okay.
05:12Oh, okay.
05:13Let's see.
05:14Nathan's going to the zoo.
05:16Nathan, good morning.
05:18Good morning, you guys.
05:20Nathan, are you upset that you're going to be missing the Lions game?
05:25Yes, but the kids' memories mean more, so unfortunately, we're going to have to pass this one up.
05:34Nathan, do you have children?
05:36Yes, I do.
05:37Okay.
05:38How old are they?
05:39He's almost six.
05:41Okay.
05:42Nathan is going to the zoo.
05:44Oh, so now we're making this an indictment on Colin.
05:47This is how we're going to go with this?
05:48Colin, I got your back, bud.
05:49I'm telling you, there's multiple factors that go into why this date was picked.
05:53I don't know specifically why September 13th was picked.
05:56Nathan, do you know why?
05:58We've been trying to go all summer.
06:00Let's see.
06:01Smoke, rain, everything.
06:03We keep having to cancel, so it's been fun.
06:07So, yeah.
06:08We didn't realize that.
06:09Do you think less of Colin because he doesn't value his children's memories?
06:14No, no, no.
06:16No, it's good.
06:17Are you going to be streaming the game while you're walking around the zoo feeding giraffes?
06:21Come on.
06:22Probably.
06:23We know that.
06:25Well, appreciate you calling in and giving us some perspective.
06:28Uh-huh.
06:29Yeah, I literally hopped in the car and turned it on, and she was talking about that.
06:32I thought that was funny.
06:35Glad you called.
06:36Yeah, have a safe trip.
06:37Thanks, Nathan.
06:38See you Sunday.
06:39Not a fan.
06:43We're so caught off guard by this.
06:45I know.
06:45And this was a non-topic.
06:47I just literally mentioned something when I walked in, and you guys were like, what?
06:52We're all getting settled in.
06:53Have you had to make that call?
06:54Have you had to make that decision of, hey, your significant other made plans on a Sunday
07:02unbeknownst to you, and now you've got to tell them, oh, I'm going to be home watching
07:07the Lions game?
07:07Or did you have to make the tough decision and say, you know what?
07:10I'm going to go in the bubble.
07:12I'm not going to listen to anything that's going on, and I'll wait until I get home and
07:18watch it as if it were happening live.
07:21Does Heather know she works at a sports radio station?
07:23Oh, she doesn't listen to us.
07:25Heather, make sure you take your kids to feed the giraffes at the Toledo Zoo.
07:29That's signed, Austin.
07:30Mm-hmm.
07:30Yeah.
07:31They've never fed the giraffes, so they'll love that.
07:33Oh, I want to.
07:34Or they'll be terrified.
07:35Oh, you've got to get a video.
07:37If the kids are feeding the giraffes, I need to see a video because the giraffe tongue is
07:44like two feet long.
07:45I have fed giraffes before, so I'm aware of this.
07:49Yes.
07:49The kids might be a little terrified.
07:52Is the giraffe going to eat?
07:53I didn't know giraffe would eat people.
07:56I'm realizing I've never fed the giraffes because I think I would remember.
07:58You would, yes, you would.
08:00Oh, you would definitely remember.
08:02Tech says, why would you plan your entire schedule around a 7-10 football team?
08:10Well, I mean, even if you thought they were going to be 7-10, it's still the first game
08:13of the season.
08:14I love football, but come on, guys.
08:16Family is more important than a football game.
08:18It's week one.
08:19It's a bad opponent.
08:20It doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things.
08:22The zoo is not the problem.
08:24Oh, it matters to Colin.
08:26There's 35 other Sundays.
08:27Every gate matters to Colin.
08:2835 other Sundays, and that doesn't even count the Sundays where the Lions are up playing
08:32on Thursday or Monday.
08:34And I don't care if it's a, quote, bad opponent.
08:35Like, I'm not taking anything for granted.
08:37It's the first game you want to see out of the box Christmas morning.
08:40Although, I know Christmas morning takes...
08:42Yeah, let's not talk about that in the parkhouse.
08:45Your husband should go and watch the game on his phone.
08:47I had to do that at a wedding.
08:49Oh, I think that's probably worse.
08:51If he's walking around with the family and he is focused on his phone versus being involved
08:57with the kids, just...
08:58You should have just stayed home.
09:00Big third down here.
09:03Your son and daughter are making memories.
09:05Big third down here.
09:06Yeah.
09:06Uh-huh.
09:07Yeah.
09:07It's Dan Campbell.
09:08It's fourth down.
09:08He's going to go for it.
09:10Making memories.
09:12I didn't think it's that big of a deal.
09:14It's the zoo.
09:16I mean, he's...
09:17He's been to the zoo.
09:18He's been to the zoo.
09:19Tex says, congrats to Mr. Giraffe.
09:25Yeah.
09:25Yeah.
09:26Okay.
09:27Sure.
09:27And it says, just buy a portable radio.
09:29Well, you could...
09:31You had your phone.
09:32Yeah, you'd be fine.
09:34Who cares about the zoo any day of the week?
09:37Oh, we got some zoo hate on the Tex.
09:38Oh, I love the zoo.
09:39Oh, the kids love the zoo.
09:41Yeah.
09:42Teddy loves the zoo.
09:43Mm-hmm.
09:44100%.
09:44He would...
09:45And we've talked about going down to the Toledo Zoo.
09:47We just haven't been able to do it yet.
09:49But we're not doing it on Saturdays or Sundays until, I don't know, May or June, possibly.
09:57There's an alternate line of thinking here, and one where Heather is the hero.
10:02Tex says, Heather's actually an angel, giving Colin the house to himself for the first Sunday.
10:08He has to be so happy, even if it's low-key.
10:11Oh, he made out like a bandit.
10:12Oh, for sure.
10:13I mean, from about 10 o'clock until, I don't know, 6 o'clock, he can make any food he
10:19wants.
10:19He can make any mess he wants.
10:21He's just going to have to scramble for the last 20 minutes to clean everything up before
10:27you guys get home.
10:28Heather's the hero as long as there's no guilt trip.
10:31I don't think there will be.
10:32I mean, I think I'll send photos, but not as a guilt trip, just saying like...
10:37Some things are lost in translation.
10:39Fine, I won't send any photos.
10:41He doesn't get to experience any of it.
10:43None for you, sir.
10:45Has this happened to you?
10:46Making the plans, adjusting because your spouse said, oh, actually, we're doing this during
10:50the Lions game.
10:51And you're going.
10:52We're doing the Apple.
10:53Not the Apple launcher.
10:54Not this Sunday.
10:5597.1.
10:56He rides.
10:57He rides.
10:57He rides.
