00:04that's a true professional people jeremy auto it's a minefield in here on a friday
00:10all right today's kind of a depressing day for david and i because we're basically doing a show
00:15with two people who are well we're old enough to be their dads uh corbin on phones and brendan
00:20shabath co-hosting i mean david you can't laugh you had your first kid at 14 i think you're right
00:26about that i think i could be their dad you just made me feel real old it's the truth it's
00:32not far
00:32off corbin how old are you uh i turned 25 this past month what are you 25 yeah i mean
00:38it's not
00:41damn um but no we're happy to be here with you we're gonna have some fun and shabath really was
00:46boorish in the show meeting took over the proceedings and demands the topic at three o'clock
00:52so we're gonna do that now listen we have a background bit a couple weeks ago i found out
00:58that this guy eats frozen pizzas which is a disgrace i wouldn't stand for it so i stepped in i
01:05said no
01:05listen i'm buying you and your wife dinner this is a disgrace but today we've got an added layer david
01:12i
01:12hope you're ready with the audio because brendan made the terrible mistake of telling me his favorite
01:16number so we have blind fired every seven horses saratoga today and depending on how this goes
01:22you're either eating your garbage frozen pizza or real pizza so i need easter milly is what you're
01:28saying that's not saratoga that's a different oh well pay attention they do multiple horses hey watch
01:35it whoa he said they're horses wow now listen let's get to this because we have a something it's kind
01:43of
01:43in our rolodex of topics we're tired of that you don't want to hear about and we don't want to
01:47do
01:47so we're doing this a different way the tigers are on fire they're gutting these god-awful teams
01:54and they're getting back in the mix i'll shake them if you got them okay and then you've got the
02:01eiser plan and larkin and the rest and again lord knows don't want to do that but how can we
02:08do two
02:09very relevant things a different way i wanted to pose this question for everybody to participate
02:15who is in the tougher spot steve eiserman whose captain wants out and the team's got the longest
02:25playoff drought in the league or scott harris the team's on fire but you know scoobull's walking out
02:35the door do you have the constitution to do what's right and trade him knowing you will be
02:44eaten alive by the uninitiated in this town which gm is in the tougher spot that's where we wanted to
02:52start today before brendan takes over at three and david and i leave two four eight five three nine
02:5797 97 you pick i have my answer i'm going last i have a feeling i don't know where you
03:05stand on this on what you think is actually probably tougher why i'm going last yes i think
03:11it's steve eiserman because i listened to the show yesterday that you and rico did and i heard
03:19all the calls and all the conversations and all the propositions as we have all done for the past
03:25i believe it's 36 days now yeah since he has requested a trade so give or take over a month
03:31then he's still a red wing i think eiserman has the tougher spot because i don't know how this does
03:37not end disastrously for steve eiserman for dylan larkin for the red wings and for us as the fans okay
03:47because larkin has a little bit of leverage but not really and eiserman has a little bit of leverage but
03:54not really and they are both just two stubborn children butting heads back and forth with these
04:00cheap shots back and forth oh i'll add a team to my to my list i'll add dallas okay you
04:05want to go
04:05to dallas give me wyatt johnston like neither is negotiating in good faith neither is operating
04:10with any real incentive or motivation to get done what both want done and i think it's going to be
04:18absolutely horrible when dylan larkin skates out there game one in the fall so you're going eiserman yes
04:26i'm reserving my commentary david who's in the tougher spot you you want to go to corbin then
04:33fine corbin you get your choice who's in the tougher spot eiserman or harris i would have to go
04:41stevie only in the sense that if it is true that he has this lifetime contract or whatever clearly he's
04:48going to be a part of the potential next rebuild if things really do start falling off over there for
04:52them with harris i've seen this movie before for the past two summers on will he won't they i i'm
04:59tired of it i'm done with it i'm exhausted with with steve and dylan though this is a big
05:05franchise altering decision it's a franchise altering decision down the road it truly is whether
05:11he does get trade or not because if he doesn't trade him then it's going to be like i said
05:14a couple
05:15weeks ago it's going to be a bravo reality show real athletes of detroit and i think two eisermans so
05:21far
05:21yes yes we go to david again i'm going last david go ahead i will also go eiserman here but
05:27for
05:28different reasons what is going on for different reasons okay the reason here is because it has to
05:33come with an admission it has to come with that mission from steve eiserman that his rebuild hasn't
05:39worked so i think that's why it becomes a tougher decision because i'm if he's saying okay i got to
05:45do
05:45this and get prospects that means i have to admit i haven't done my job well that is makes it
05:51the
05:51tougher part scott harris to me has the easier job two times cy young trade him just make it happen
05:58no no no okay hold on hold on now this is the problem by me saying i'm going last this
06:03is going
06:04to feel like a setup or i'm being inauthentic i i would take a polygraph i promise you i'm not
06:10i believe the tougher spot is harris eiserman your team blows everybody would have brain knows it's
06:18rebuild time harris's team has caught fire now that in the aggregate they still stink but they're
06:26getting back into this i don't think all of a sudden it craters you have scoobal you want to go
06:35for it
06:35if you trade scoobal you're pulling the plug on the season now i still believe they could make the
06:42playoffs without scoobal that's a separate thing but scott harris is the guy who didn't have the guts
06:48to buy last year when they were a first place team now you have a choice if you don't trade
06:55scoobal and
06:56corbin you said this if you don't trade him and you do anything but make a world series you have
07:02injured the organization in the next five years you have if you trade him you could have your
07:10character impugned by the uninitiated who are like you did bad things and it's like no it's dude he's
07:17not coming back you have the pitching to compete i feel terrible i waited because like i promise i'm
07:24not disagreeing with you guys just to screw with this i really think the tougher spot is harris
07:29everyone is eiserman except me interesting but you don't believe because i think david and corbin
07:37brought up both interesting points as to how no matter what scott harris does it's defendable he can
07:45defend himself to the media and to the fans with whatever decision he makes because he's a two-time
07:51cy young winner but how do you defend not trading him when he's leaving because he's the best pitcher in
07:55baseball and you want to go to the playoffs and win a world series and if he leaves you get
08:01stugatz
08:01and you did it for what well we went for it oh we took our shot you know what sometimes
08:07you take
08:07your shot and miss again you know what's sad i would actually work in this town i don't believe these
08:12things i am speaking as i know hypothetical scott harris in this situation okay but i think no matter
08:18what he does whether he trades scoobal or not there is a way to defend the situation as it happens
08:24and
08:24the result that happens after it as well even if he leaves they don't win a world series and scoobal
08:30walks for nothing for eiserman i don't know what he's going to say no matter what the result of this
08:37is how do you defend bringing your captain who will likely be stripped of his captaincy in embarrassing
08:43fashion how do you defend putting that guy in a winged wheel sweater on the ice after everything
08:51that has happened what do you say well he's under contract great i'll even do for me i'll even add
08:58a
08:58layer to what you're saying over there because i look at it in terms of growing up the detroit red
09:04wings as we all know original six team a very storied franchise over the past 10 years uh during
09:10this playoff drought especially over the past couple where they really have these march swoons
09:13or whatever they're not that they're kind of operating like an expansion team and this whole
09:18bickering back and forth thing between him and larkin behind the scenes it just adds fuel to the fire to
09:23where it's a dump it's a dumpster fire and at the same time if you're steve you got to make
09:28sure that
09:28if you do get rid of larkin and other players you're going to want people wanting to come to troy
09:33and as of
09:33right now if i'm a free agent in the next coming years i wouldn't even want to touch the city
09:37but the
09:37counterpoint and again this is the fun of the conversation because it's no no one's dying on
09:41any hill it's just these are two brutal spots look if the tigers were still absolutely terrible
09:47it's just such an easy decision it's easy street you trade him but this is this is also why i'm
09:53exhausted by this team they're either the best team in baseball or the worst team in baseball and
09:57they can't even figure that out within a calendar year i can't stand them but they're getting back
10:03in in a historically bad al for for eiserman and i i heard this in middays and even mornings you
10:11have
10:12people who hate larkin they blame larkin for going public they think he's entitled they think he's a
10:19whiner you're going to get the senior class of hockey elite you're a captain asking out of an original
10:25six that's blasphemous no one is on scoobel's side that would be another separator for me but this is fun
10:33let's let's at least investigate this which gm is in the more difficult spot eiserman in the
10:40handling of larkin harris in the handling of scoobel because they're both difficult 248-539-9797
10:49we're going to get more to people brendan's going to get another uh lunchable and then we're going to
10:54get to business we're on every seven horse at the spa today this this guy has no idea what he's
10:58watching it's tremendous free dinner baby or no dinner it all depends this is going to be exciting
11:05what he's doing today that's going to get to death 97 1
