All right, five o'clock, great to have you with us.

0:04.0

We've covered a lot of ground today, Odyssey.com, rewind.

0:07.0

If you missed anything, Powerstat to open the show with the wings, we got into the rebuilds a little bit.

0:14.2

We even talked a little Team USA soccer because they're absolute garbage and we're tired of it.

0:19.8

I wanted to ask a question as we started the five o'clock, which is this.

0:25.0

It's hard because not everyone cares about every team locally, and I do understand that.

0:31.0

You know, for instance, Kenny is much more passionate about the

0:33.6

Red Wings than he would be about the Pistons or certain people of the Tigers

0:37.2

more than the wings. There are seven people probably locally who care about the

hurt, all young players would be awesome. This is great. That's nonsense and this

1:45.4

product has been nonsense. Now the pistons, it's different. The pistons are

dealing with what the lions used to deal with. Generational losing.

1:54.3

That you don't remember the last time they won a playoff game, 2008.

1:59.8

You don't remember the last time they had more than 42 wins also 2008. We've lost a
