00:05oh i love this text it may have been sent in by rieger tonight could be villain night
00:11kelly stafford sings the national anthem dylan larkin throws out the first pitch
00:15and scoobles the opposing pitcher kenley jansen blows in the ninth pure cinema
00:20just add one more we could have brad holmes mc the thing at the beginning
00:24welcome to villain night and he's got the villain shirt yeah oh that'd be great
00:29i gotta tell you that would be amazing the best night in detroit sports history
00:33i reserve my booze for kelly stafford's kids i will be hate watching uh but out loud just treating
00:40him like another pitcher that is one of the greatest detroit sports bit ever that we booed her kids that
00:45we yeah that kelly went on her podcast and then she apologized for it like how do you know we
00:51didn't
00:52kelly yeah because detroit is booing a bunch of young kids yeah because it didn't have anything
00:57to do with first playoff game in forever and your husband was the enemy that night it's one of the
01:03best games maybe the best game i've ever been to the i just remembered the environment was phenomenal
01:09a lot of people thought kelly i remember listening to her podcast right before the game of course you
01:14did that's right i mean i felt it was my duty to tweet out what she was saying i think
01:19people
01:19appreciated it but i listened to her podcast and she was all about like the nfl the script writers
01:24this is unfair that we got to go to detroit it was so great you had the golf chance we
01:31got our guys
01:31back it's the first playoff win at ford field this home playoff win the catharsis emotional dan
01:38miller's call and the game was good it was back and forth uh anyway we'll get some calls text we're
01:46talking about scoobles night tonight of course we are with rieger and but it's the story whether you
01:50were here or not this is going to be the event tonight of course how do fans welcome him back
01:55is it cheering is it booing we'll dive into it a little deeper as the show rolls on i also
02:00wanted
02:00to talk hellebuck so those that that haven't seen the story connor hellebuck wants out of winnipeg
02:05he confirmed it public statement he wants out of winnipeg and this is shameful for two reasons
02:12not for him but for us one this is a guy from metro detroit a vesna winner the hero of
02:20team usa with
02:21the big save to win the gold medal yes we don't even have a gm to pursue him he's 33
02:27years old we're
02:29not a contender to adam so it's shameful on part one he's a damn good player from our backyard and
02:34we
02:34don't we're not going to get this guy right the second thing is if team usa was going to team
02:41up
02:41somewhere you would have told me 10 years ago u.s hockey is going to have a moment and they're
02:46all
02:46going to want to play together it should be here absolutely we have this brand new arena the
02:51development programs in our backyard our captain's an american we're the winningest american franchise
02:58with 11 stanley cups if they were ever going to team up it should be here so here's my pitch
03:05we don't know who the new gm is correct could be a tiger please be a hockey guy but that
03:11guy needs
03:12to show up draped in the american flag blaring hulk hogan's real american and he needs to go to
03:19dylan larkin and say i'm getting you quinn hughes quinn hasn't extended i'm getting quinn hughes you
03:24guys were buddies at michigan roommates at michigan he lives here in the summer i'm getting
03:28you quinn hughes i'm getting connor hellebuck i'm getting zach rowinski oh and we have a ton
03:34of cap space we can make this happen i'm gonna i'm gonna rename every lake lake michigan
03:39we're making this america's destination for u.s hockey that's my pitch i'm all for it let's go
03:47now that we own the game of hockey too it used to be canada's game as well i do find
03:52it funny how
03:53every great player is leaving canada hullabuck wants out of winnipeg we already know kachuk
03:59out of ottawa brady's playing with his brother the thing i wonder about jim is who organized this
04:05because we do know that every team usa member wants the hell out of wherever they're playing
04:11unless they're in vegas or unless they're in florida or apparently unless they're in dallas
04:15who organized this was this a matthew kachuk organized thing
04:19well he's the one collecting the american players on his team right yes i mean is there a group text
04:24where matthew kachuk checks in with dylan dylan you out of detroit yeah checks in with connor
04:29connor you're the hell out of winnipeg yet checks in with zach zach we're definitely we're disappointed
04:35in you that you decided to stay in columbus what's the matter with you i mean that might as well
04:38be a
04:39canadian city the whole thing is that columbus is basically a canadian city don't you he said that
04:46twice today where's that coming from i mean we don't really just not a big market kind of okay
04:52i love the idea of it being kachuk but it does lose a little bit of steam if it turns
04:55out it's
04:56vinnie trochik that's behind all this
05:00so what you're saying columbus is essentially u.s calgary pretty much okay or edmonton or winnipeg
05:08right okay don't you think yeah i mean we're once he wanted out and then he caved and now we
05:14stick
05:14it around yeah but until he he's got a couple years left on his deal but don't we just feel
05:18like if they don't leave if they're not going to win in the next couple years he's going to be
05:21on
05:21the way out anyway he's also really good friends with dylan larkin so that's what the new gm does he
05:26comes in here and he plays the card of collects them all collects all the americans patriot to the
05:31core jeff he loves america more than every other team doesn't this feel like even a bigger loss now
05:37that you don't have a gm this is the one off season where there's been the most movement
05:41and you can't take advantage of any of it right if larkin had belief in the organization and the
05:48organization gave him a reason to believe and they were competent and winning and they had made the
05:52playoffs one of the last couple years zach rowenski keeps that trade request open and we land him
05:57right you would think quinn hughes who's still unsigned i get it you're not trading for him unless
06:01you get an extension but you make a hell of a pitch to land him and extend him and all
06:05of a sudden
06:06when this hellebuck rumor comes out you go well yeah come home you fit right in we would be so
06:13hated over the border it would be fantastic well the gorgia opened exactly you go to winnipeg on a
06:20saturday night nothing but booze toronto montreal but didn't we love that i love your idea like 20
06:27years ago we were that team everybody hated us we were the villains yes we had all the great players
06:30they all played here remember trade deadlines it might have been a little before your time the ken
06:34holland trade deadlines by the way ken holland a canadian so he couldn't be associated with this
06:38organization organization but back in the day those trade deadlines tom remembers it was unbelievable
06:45it was a rite of passage it was so much fun you mean you're allowed to add when your team's
06:48good
06:49and add big oh boy let's get to the phones ken good morning you're on 97.1 hey good morning
06:56gentlemen hey ken i thanks for taking my call i just want to make i just wanted to say that
07:01uh it couldn't be more perfect for scoobal to go to the dodgers because the dodgers don't need him
07:08the only reason they took him is because they don't want to pitch against him right it was defense
07:12they're going to blow out his arm and i think that that they don't care what happened to scoobal
07:18but the thing is is between the two scoobal is definitely the biggest db between larkin and him
07:24scoobal pulled himself out of the playoff game here we go because he wanted increases but and then
07:29he hit his injury our entire season might be different if he would have been honest with
07:33the organization so without a doubt i'd be booing him even if he was still on contract with us so
07:38kenny are you going tonight no okay do you believe there's going to be more boos or cheers because
07:44we started this show way back at six o'clock and costa said 80 20 applause of terek scoobal i
07:51think i'm
07:52changing his mind this place is going to be a snake pit tonight they're going to boo the hell out
07:57of
07:57him i if we are truly detroit fan and we got class i mean detroit is a town of class
08:04but if we
08:04are truly detroit fans scoobal's like a a stripper that gives you his phone number and says call me
08:12right and you think that he's you're in love with him i mean it's all marketing yeah he doesn't want
08:17to come back to detroit and he will never come back to detroit and if detroit is really detroit
08:22we will boo the crap out of that dude has that happened often ken i the stripper phone number oh
08:29you mean oh i don't know oh you thought you were speaking from experience you just kind of pulled
08:33it out there okay yeah they're all in love with me that was impeccable comedic time and can't call
08:42back anytime wow that was good i thought he was like kind of ashamed or caught off guard no he's
08:48like no that would be yeah i love the food there too unbelievable yeah does anybody go to strip
08:53joints anymore i don't know two for eight just for the chicken wings right the lunch buffet uh are
09:00you in your glory today like this seems like one of your most glorious shows you've ever done i would
09:05say like maybe like athletes they talk about you know ending it in your career you know when you win
09:10it win it all with the you thinking about that with today you're done with radio after today
09:14because what do you know because you can never have such a great as good a show as that oh
09:18i
09:18thought hey yo pink slip today um no i could i could be i don't like that you're smiling over
09:24there
09:25i yeah i'm satisfied the only thing that can make rigor happier is if the announcers during the
09:30tires game fought over a chair get it the rod and mario reference trust me i got it that's paul's
09:37favorite bit no but time to answer your question i i like this stuff i think if you're a sports
09:44fan
09:44you like this stuff you like the booing you like the emotions you like being upset for silly reasons
09:49this is sports i like this stuff i know and i do too but you're the joy in your face
09:55today okay we
09:55gotta let people behind the curtain thomas said to me at least a dozen times this week already a dozen
10:01i am not looking forward to friday with rieker why wow i would take that personally like i think it's
10:07like every time i've seen him this week and i wasn't even here for for a day we were in
10:10vegas
10:10because you're in vegas i just want to know remember he's in despising the thought of
10:15righty is going to be this this troll is going to be here for scoobal day scoobal day used to
10:20mean something very different yes tonight he's pitching against us i mean he might do what he did
10:25in detroit i'm sure he's going to get the win today the tigers aren't very good i just hope they
10:29boo him that's all i hope he hopes they boo him 248-539-9797 i think you have every right
10:36to boo
10:37we just get a text i gotta read this very quickly that that caller detroit is class that's what he
10:43said immediate stripper reference after the high quality stripper joke legend well it's funny because
10:50i think there's a lot of fans who do think we're classy and we won't boo him because of that
10:54they
10:55think it would it would not be classy to boo terick scoobal i think that's a belief now now i
10:59don't know
10:59if fans will own up to that can we dissect that though isn't it a great fan base that boos
11:04are you
11:05you're missing no i know i'm not saying i agree with that mentality i think it's pervasive and
11:09exists in in bulk going into the game tonight we're not gonna so i haven't changed your mind at all
11:14no
11:14my goal today have i changed your mind tom you have a little bit actually good so our listeners have
11:20there is definitely a little more juice and energy and then you thought in people's reactions and on
11:25the text too there's a venom now the question becomes are these the people going to the game tonight
11:30right are you gonna have a ton of dodger fans there how how is this thing gonna play out oh
11:34i didn't
11:34think about that are these people gonna be the people that are at the game those people crap wait
11:38tom just said something that really upset me if there's a lot of dodger fans like if they love
11:43shohei and they love mookie and they love the dodgers they're like fair weather fans then they're
11:49gonna cheer scoobal so that's gonna screw up the ratio let me say the simpler i don't know if the
11:54crowd tonight's gonna represent our hatred fans really feel i ask so you you hear all the time
12:03you know the story of trey turner in philadelphia remember that story where a fan went viral trey
12:09was struggling huge free agent acquisition and the fan went on social media and said let's give
12:14him a standing ovation and the first time he was announced the next day everybody in philly gave
12:19him a standing ovation turned his season around they went to the world series blah blah blah blah
12:23castellanos was on that team if there's one thing i hope i can do in my radio career is get
12:29detroit to
12:30boo that man tonight this would be my crowning achievement he deserves to be booed this is
12:36sports you can't say the stuff he said and get away with it what does that say about you that
12:41that would be your crowning achievement what's your crowning achievement what do you want it to be i
12:47don't want it to be that i incited but like if they fans feel that way i want him to
12:51boo i don't
12:51want it to be because well no i don't want it to be because of me i just hope they
12:55understand you
12:56should boo the man like you would if you were there as a fan it's fair game you bought tickets
13:00jim costa okay you buy tickets to the game you know scuba's pitching you know the backstory are
13:04you booing him jim costa as you stand here right now no i don't think i'd boo him why i
13:11don't think
13:11i would cheer him either is that is that like on the fence that's a cop-out no i don't
13:14think it's
13:14about that is you got to choose i'm sitting in the seat he used to sit in but i don't
13:17i think there
13:19was more good than bad i don't want to cheer him though because i i have a bad taste in
13:22my mouth
13:22because of the things that he he did on the way out so are you closer to booing or cheering
13:28i'd be closer to booing because he's pitching for the enemy okay and that's maybe why i empathize
13:32with those and have no issue with anybody who wants to boo tonight what about the two guys coming up
13:36next doug and scott will they boo treat everybody with respect okay they're not gonna but it's not
13:42disrespectful it's part of sports well i again i view it that way i think sometimes john feels like
13:48booing is you shouldn't boo people a little too much and i'm thinking like booing is like going
13:53to a sports like going to a game see a lot of people like my buddy they they are concerned
13:57that
13:57if we boo we look bad as a fan base i would say the opposite if we boo we look
14:03like an awesome fan
14:04we got our we stand for something we stand for our city pound of flesh you don't want to be
14:09here you
14:09didn't want an extension here you're the enemy goodbye you hit an injury goodbye exactly and then
14:14he throws 120 pitches there you go uh we'll get to heather's news and then we'll get to your story
14:22about your neighbor we want to hear from fans of course on the scoobal stuff it's 97 one
