Oh, dear. Hi, everybody. We've got a jam-packed, albeit condensed show today, we are going to get to some Tiger Baseball before we get you to Tiger Baseball.

We do want to open up with, though. Kenny has a question he wants to ask. We didn't play the Red Wing song accidentally.

So I will welcome Kenny to the main stage.

We're not in the business of wasting our time or yours.

Kenny, ask what the hell you want to ask?

So I feel like most of us, most of us in this room, me, you, Rico, David,

we're all pretty much consensus agreement that this Red Wings team is the season,

albeit four points out of the playoffs based on the upcoming competition. There is no weak

team that we're about to face. There's no, you know, easy button wins that could lead you

into a playoff spot. That just doesn't exist. So are you like us

where you're just die already? Are you spiteful? Or are you the one guy clinging on to hope?

Because if you are, I want to hear from you too, because I want inside of that mindset of, you know what,

there's only, I want

you to sell me this pen because if you're four points out of a playoff spot, and you think

there's still a chance playing Florida twice, playing Toronto, playing Carolina, who will suffocate

the life out of you, sell me this pen. Are you one of the people still holding on hope?

Are you like me and Mike and David and Rico where it's, you know what, just go, you know, go away.

I want to say this in my 20 plus years of doing this.

I don't think I've ever had a topic titled Hope or Die.

Hope or die.

But I, okay, you've described me is I, I actually spite them for winning games at this point,

especially after that Pearl Jam debacle.
