WTKA online at the big 1050.com.

And folks, listen, Super Bowl is around the corner.

And guess what? Guess what? Super Bowl is around the corner. And guess what?

Super Bowl being around the corner, I want to know, are you going to have the same interest that you normally have knowing that your team was a factor.

See, there's an interesting phenomenon going on around here in the Detroit metro area, Ira.

It's like the interest level is at an all-time low.

Have you noticed that?

That normally the level of excitement heading into this weekend is like, you know,

it's like you have true Super Bowl traditions and people are fired up and they're going

to be having the Super Bowl spread and Super Bowl parties.

And now it's like, ah, it's like, you know,

collective dobers are down.

that it was that way a year ago and your team went further.

Because generally, I understand the, man, my team is right there on the cuss.

I think people are just verbally a little less excited about it.

But I do think that the numbers are going to be fine.
