BUS is the nothing personal word of the day.

0:23.4

It's Thursday, August 11, 2022.

0:26.7

I don't mean genie bus. I mean a school bus, a greyhound bus. Throwing someone under

0:33.2

that bus is a great expression. Don't throw him under the bus. Throwing under the bus

0:38.0

is when you say something about somebody at your workplace or at your school or in your

0:41.9

house. When you know you've done something and you blame it on someone else or you haven't

0:48.2

done something, you know someone else has done something. No one else really needs to know

0:52.5

that that person did something. People may suspect he did something, but you still confirm

0:56.9

1:46.8

been the GM of the Tigers since 2015. He was brought in by Christopher Ilech's father,

1:52.0

Mike Ilech, the little Caesar's guy who wanted nothing but to win a World Series. The GM

2:00.4

before him was Dave Dombrovsky and one thing you should know is that Dave Dombrovsky is

2:05.6

really good at spending other people's money and Mike Ilech gave Dave Dombrovsky plenty

2:12.2

of money to spend in an effort to try to get a World Series. The Tigers made it to World

2:16.2

Series. I believe in 06, not much since then. And wouldn't you know today on August 11th

2:25.2

or August 10th, whenever this came out, the Tigers decided to go a different direction.
