All right. Just a PSA. If you're wondering, geez, the guys aren't taking phone calls. We can't.

Mike's had enough. I'm on a multitude of fronts. We are actively working on it. Our engineers are fabulous. I love Ryan and Scotty and Robbie. I don't have an, but I don't want to see you guys dialing into oblivion because that's disrespectful to

just pretend nothing's wrong.

The phones don't work.

So feel free to text communicate.

Let's sit down for a fireside chat with Kenny Scott.

I think my, as a Red Wings fan, my biggest issue is the fact that not just starting

slow, but the fact that we, it seems like we have this conversation year over year.

Last year we had the same thing.

We saw similar starts to games that mattered way more than necessary.

It seemed like we could win a game that we really weren't supposed to.

And then a team like, I don't know, Arizona would come into town or we'd be on like the

Ottawa train.

Right.

And it would just immediately crumble.

There's a bunch of ticket or a bunch of textors that would agree with that.

Mike, can we say Mike sabotage the phone lines because we're talking Red Wings? No. No, I'd prefer to hear from that. Mike, can we say Mike sabotage the phone lines because we're talking red wings? No. No, I'd prefer to hear from the hockey fans. No, hockey elite normally show up. Big time. I'd rather prefer to the people who call in than people who just bitch and moan on text saying, well, you don't know hockey. Okay, then argue my points, dumbass. At least people who call have the testicular fortitude to call and have a conversation. You know, you really don't get you don't know puck guy to call. No, because they got a call and talk to you. And they damn well know what I'm saying is not unreasonable. You can disagree with something without it being stupid. You can just disagree with it. You're not allowed. No, not in today's world. Well, spoiler alert, there were a number of you don't know Puck texts coming in. Which is fine. But also, which is... You're the one texting a radio show. The hilarious part about this is, though, when people will text in with that take, with that opinion, they often don't back it up with anything to substantiate because they don't have anything.

I am presenting a layered opinion here.

I argue it.

If you don't like it or you disagree with it, argue it.

It's America, man.

It's fine.
