I have, hey, true underdog.

Am, and as promised our guest today on Lockdown Lines, the CEO and founder of Power Home Solar.

You hear him all the time on the radio and his commercials and the company's doing great.

It's our buddy Jason Waller.

What's up, Jay?

Hey, man, how are you doing?

I'm doing well, sir, hanging in there, certainly. Look, we're going to be at football season before we know it here in early June. It's kind of crazy to think. But I know you're a huge Lions guy and probably getting excited for 2020. What do you think? I'm super excited. I love the schedule. A lot of people didn't like it. I'm super excited about that. I'm really best friends with Prater. He's super jacked and excited. You know, everybody's kind of been locked up for months and they're ready to get out there and do something great. And I think that I think it's going to be a good year. I was happy with the offseason and the draft. And, you know, I think we started good last year and some things and injuries stop the momentum. But I'm excited to see what happens this year. We need it. We all need it right now. You're not still mad at me when I said that you look like Matt Prater, are you? No, I get that a lot. And I try to say, I'm better looking. He would argue say he's better looking.

He is a little younger.

And he's definitely in better shape. I mean, he's the last two years we've hung out, I think he's lost 25 or 30 pounds and got rocked solid. So he is really, really motivated and his condition and in his job right now. So I, you know, the last two years I've never seen him so zeroed in as he is now in tip-top shape.

It makes me jealous because I'm floating around 210 and 220. And when I first, we first started hanging out, he was around my size and he's like a buck 88 now. I'm like, whoa. So, yeah. Jason Waller from Power Home Solar. You guys have advertised it and made it known. You're kind of the official solar provider of the Lions. How did that come about? Well, I'm a diehard Lions fan. My dad grew up in Ferndale. I've had season tickets even when I lived in North Carolina for years. And, you know, the only football games are very biased that I ever watch, unless it's the Super Bowl, is the Lions. And I haven't missed a game, whether it be on TV or I go in person since Barry Sanders' first year. Wow. And so, you know, we have Barry as a spokesman for us right now, which is my all-time favorite player. So I get real giddy about that. But an opportunity, we were doing a deal with the Lions.

We were looking to be in a corporate sponsor late 17 going into the 18 season.

And we saw that they were interested in doing something to go green and be part of renewable movement

and be able to save some money on power.

And so we came up with a deal where we did solar for them over the parking garage and at the Allen

Park facilities. And we became a corporate sponsor for them. And it's been great. They've been a

great partnership to work with. You know, they've put me in contact with different relationships in

Detroit. Me and my family moved there in 18 to where we can connect, and our organization has been a part of a lot of the things. We did the Toys for Top Drive with them last year. So everything that they're doing, we try to follow suit and do the right thing for the community. And having a relationship with an NFL team, I think it's got to be key, Jason.

We're looking at it right now.

You know, MLB, you know, Major League Baseball is in some big trouble squabbling over money.

Certainly the NBA and NHL are going to get back up and running.

But when it comes down to it in a business decision like you're making football,

you know, excuse me, football in the NFL, they're king right now.
