00:00all right how diddly do neighbors um we will get you to tiger baseball shortly which is also a
00:08strange thing i loved what doug and scott did to open their show i don't think we need to repeat
00:12it it was pretty hilarious they did a great job with it though which was do you want us to
00:18talk
00:19about this no question mark no how about no and i went okay good well that solves that no i'm
00:26with
00:26you i think you can watch them appreciate max clark or mcgonigal or just enjoy baseball but
00:32i mean i i think the only person living this playoff fever dream is sidell at the free i just
00:38go away already it's football season i'm locked in on bills and lions well you know it's bad auto's
00:44cashed out auto had no opinion on that no he's had enough um i want to bring something up because
00:51i'm not done with yesterday i can't be i thought that chris illich interview was peak of embarrassment
00:58and it's only worse once you hear today at three o'clock sean horkoff is going to get thrown to
01:05the wolves so let me get this straight just so we're all on main street together
01:13you decided it would be easier for yourself to go to a safe space fake interview
01:23deliver chat gpt responses and you thought your paying customers wouldn't see right through it as
01:33you don't show up the day after that is published and your lame duck interim gm has to talk for
01:43you
01:43see this is the problem if chris illich were real he gets up there with horkoff defends why he's
01:52sitting there and answers questions in real time that's what he owes his paying customers you don't
01:59know me he don't know you shows that horkoff has real power he's just not a space he's not here
02:05warming up a chair for the next guy and and chris would have to deal with questions follow-ups
02:12instead of the utter blather we were fed and and again you can do whatever you want i'm not attacking
02:20bob but i can see from a mile away what that interview was and by the way shout out bob
02:26on the day that
02:27that report hits not showing up to do radio probably brilliant business strategy would have probably
02:34been the most listened to show that they've ever had in a long time it's total insanity but i digress
02:40i just i want to know from the people like yesterday people had a different tone there was an anger
02:48and a lot of it there's a lot of apathy the idea and we didn't know horkoff was going to
02:53talk today
02:54when we were on the air yesterday a day later horkoff is going to be fed to the wolves and
03:02chris
03:02is not mentioned anywhere in the media briefing email if christopher illich were going to speak
03:08today he would surely be in that email that is blasted to all media so you mean to tell me
03:15you think
03:16you're off the hook because you sat down with wojo presented by hendrix gin and simply didn't answer
03:25a single question and the answers you did offer us were horrendous yeah i'm sorry i can't be done
03:32with it i can't can i put on the uh tinfoil hat for a second yes take it to a
03:37whole another level yes
03:39think about this you're holding the press conference while your other team is playing
03:46on the road at the same time time out okay hold on
03:56and most of the writers are probably going to be in either in toronto
04:05or already in buffalo for the lions that the lions play on thursday so this is a friday news dump
04:13on
04:14a wednesday right so there's going to be a lot less people there a lot less people it can't the
04:21press
04:21conference can't go live because we can't do it live because the tigers are playing so and you duck
04:28out on it to boot so it's like safe space theater like everything is good and everything's awesome
04:35that's why nobody respects you i mean honestly you think about like this is brilliant by you
04:41you're right putting the introduction of your intern who's still under under consideration to be the gm
04:49see this is the problem you went all summer hockey writers hockey media you're getting panned left and
04:56right so look he's not mentioned in the email if chris illich were taught look he should talk i would
05:03have massive relief if he were there i'd have massive relief if he would get on stage and answer the
05:09questions but you're right why would you put this press conference as the tigers are playing there's lots
05:15of other times of the day you could do it he did it literally at the same time his first
05:21pitch
05:22of tigers blue jays now our station has no chance to carry it nope and and most of your writers
05:29are
05:29in toronto already or the equivalent you're right across from the canada in buffalo preparing for the
05:36lions to play on thursday can i get the hockey elite to weigh in i know two days in a
05:41row is a lot for you
05:42but are are we overthinking this i mean i have said for months chris illich must speak i never imagined
05:52it would be in what surely looked like a gemini ai interview in a safe space you got to get
06:00up to
06:00the podium now the fact that you released that article and then afterwards post haste the announcement
06:07is made horkoff will talk but it's synced up with first pitch at a tiger game so no one pays
06:13attention
06:14to it we can't carry it and writers rico's right i mean this is a one newspaper town anyways but
06:21whatever fine we have two of them you got lions bills tomorrow you have the tigers playing actively
06:29you're right this is the ultimate dog whistle they're all four hours away so this is a dog whistle
06:36you you may get a couple just internet uh sites kind of people there but other than that most of
06:44your people are gone but the fact that illich okay let's say all of i'm loving you put the tinfoil
06:49hat
06:50on so let's say everything is true let's say this was the art of distraction the fact that illich still
06:56wouldn't show up to this thinking you're gonna feed people the garbage you fed them yesterday no
07:01everyone saw through it by the way it wasn't big bad 97 one your paying customers saw through you
07:07christopher those answers were horrific well here's the thing he might show up mike depending on when he
07:16looks past the curtain who's out in the room oh there's only three people uh you know what i'm
07:21gonna show up i think it's my job but if it next dude if he were even gonna be in
07:25the building wouldn't
07:26it be a part of the email blast anytime sheila has talked or goris has talked or illich has talked
07:32the email blast features and ownership will be present to take questions but he was not mentioned
07:39no he wasn't but it also didn't say he wasn't gonna be there well they don't i know i know
07:45i know
07:46i know but if it's if he looks in the i think if it's if it's the right people in
07:52the room
07:54surprise i postponed my trip to toronto to go hang out with the tigers here i just think it's a
08:00pretty terrible look to have wojo run cover for you with that very that safety net interview and a
08:07day later you're announcing i feel bad for sean horkoff i mean you are putting a no-win spot are
08:13you
08:13still in the running for this maybe how about this uh are you lame duck i don't know could you
08:20trade
08:20larkin today if you wanted to that's private like sean could you please elaborate on the plan
08:29i mean how about this chris hillich said it's amusing to see and hear what people are saying
08:35about the red wings inside the organization things are running perfectly fine do you want to tell us
08:42what that entails like that's the problem sean horkoff shouldn't even be made available today
08:49unless chris hillich is at his side because chris hillich has the explaining to do not this poor
08:56guy it does this reminds me a lot when dan campbell has to speak for brad correct and dan can
09:01only say
09:02so much and you know dan is like if you ask me this at the bar you would get a
09:07different answer
09:07correct but i'm in front of microphones so i'm just gonna give you the company line what's your
09:12viewpoint on it red wing fan two four eight five three nine ninety seven ninety seven lines are
09:17wide open we're just starting we'll take you to tiger ball david paul i mean any look if you think
09:22i'm overreacting to it or if i'm missing the mark i'm i will take all the criticism and and again
09:27i mean
09:28i just don't see a world i've done this for 25 years when ownership talks they make a big to
09:33-do
09:33about it i don't i i he wasn't in the email and they're gonna say refer to the article in
09:39the free
09:40press paulie go ahead bud well no it's just the whole thing is is ridiculous the you're why we
09:47already knew he was the interim gm why tweet out like he's officially the interim gm when we already
09:52knew that's what he was doing anyway you're officially not official yeah you're so it's it's
09:57so stupid they what what has the firm been doing for the last two months helping get candidates and
10:02you're you you talk to them but you didn't talk to them but then you say you did talk to
10:06them
10:06all his answers were nonsense the bottom line is you're gonna have a press engagement the owner's not
10:11going to talk that's what it says to us unless this is the first media blast where they've got chris
10:19illich jumping out of a cake like marilyn monroe surprise happy birthday mr president and he's
10:24gonna talk today that's not how it works but sadly i can actually see that happening
10:34wait a minute you guys didn't put me in an interview hey you know what let me pull up a
10:39chair
10:41two four eight scoot over one two four eight five three nine ninety seven ninety seven
10:46dave a couple of texts we got some early returns here uh no one wants the red wings gm position
10:53because
10:54chris is here uh jake at work says brad holmes and chris illich are having a competition on who
11:00can give the laziest ai answers those were tough yesterday david very much so uh someone else says
11:06chris is a joke he will never get on a podium without his grok answers those that's the uh ai
11:13tool for
11:13twitter i'll go one further the wings released the larkin statement on the morning of 9 11 on a football
11:20friday that was also bad oh my god no yeah they did oh hola rico rico's gonna go down the
11:30rabbit hole
11:31here he hasn't done this much research since he tried to get into area 51 the hell is going on
11:37here
11:39wow listening on the odyssey app and i am a little behind but nice call on chris not showing up
11:45to the press conference that is a joke if you should be there if that's the case because again
11:51if he were they'd make a to-do about it and i've been looking i've been reading it over and
11:57over again
11:57making sure i didn't miss any words and it is not there what is this gonna be there pork off
12:02from
12:02his temporary office at the world headquarters that's what you're offering people then what
12:07so yesterday was supposed to appease your paying customers
12:13out of touch would be it's tone deaf you're not all of it's tone deaf right you weren't supposed
12:17to ask follow-up questions you were supposed to believe everything that wojo said that's
12:21it's kind of why i wish wojo was here because i can say hey wojo give us the behind the
12:27scenes like
12:27what is the plan i'm sure he told you what the plan was i have a plan what is that
12:32to one day have
12:32a plan and your guys aren't ready for it quite yet maybe he's busy with the maybe he's busy with
12:38a pickup hockey game since you're right he didn't play in the men's league for 20 years yeah that's
12:44the equivalent when guys call up they used to call up bitching about curtis joseph you know i played
12:48goalie in high school see i love the wings what i've watched the game from the suites and down in
12:56the
12:56stands for the different perspectives boy i could say something but i won't 248-539-9797 here's rica
