Damn, damn, true underdog.

Damn, damn, unleash the power within.

Damn, damn, damn, baby.

True underdog.

True underdog, unleash the power within.

Jason Waller here with my co-host, John LeBlanc. We've got special guest Mike Valenti here. We're gonna hear his story and how we can overcome some objections and how we can better do better our lives going forward of being a true underdog in today's society. Mike, how are you doing today? I'm great. And now we have the audio right. Yes, where? Yes, audio is right. to God. Okay. Well, hey, we share the same producer, so maybe that's the issue.

That might be first problem. They might be the first problem. Hey, so, question is, go ahead and share with the listeners exactly, you know, what you're doing, who you are. you know, let's hear about Mike Valenti.

Yeah, so for people who aren't familiar,

it's, I do afternoon drive, sports radio, 97 won the ticket.

I basically, you know, let's hear about Mike Valenti. Yeah, so for people who aren't familiar, it's, I do afternoon drive, sports radio, 97 won the ticket. I basically get yelled at for a

living. We talk, uh, up until recently, we talk about sports. We obviously have more important

things going on now, but yeah, I've been doing that since 2004. Okay. Um, it's a different

deal than you. I know you've had like several different processes, several

different chapters. My career is luckily, and it's, I'm blessed to be in that spot, I've had this

one massive chapter of 16 years down here, a couple of years prior to that when I'd left school.

But yeah, that's the day to day of it. So you've got a successful afternoon drive radio show that I've heard when I first moved to Michigan. I was like, who is this guy that is yelling and pissed off and bad mouth? Say what you said to me the first time we met. Say what you said when you told me what you thought when you were listening. You go, why is this guy such a prick? I did. Yeah, I did say that.

And you know what? You're kind of like that in person, but in a good way. At least you're honest. It's more endearing. Yeah, but you're real. You are a huge Lions fan. I am. You give the Lions some shit. That's his fault. That's not mine. Yeah, I am a Lions fan. Guilty is charged. but things that you say are real.

That's what I appreciate.

Too many times on radio or anything,

people sugarcoat everything. Yeah, I am a lion's fan. Guilty is charged. But things that you say are real.

That's what I appreciate.

Too many times on radio or anything, people sugarcoat everything. Yeah. And they want you to buy in so you can just like them. With your show, it's real. So you get people pissed off, Colin, giving you the other side of it. But I'll tell you why. And I think, and again, this is one where we could go down the wormhole and we don't have time.
