Let's do it. Let's do it. And then I'm going to get a topic in and then we're going to do the contest for the Tiger's opening day tickets. So get ready. What is the secret sound? Your chance to win seven thousand dollars from DFC, you financial, the cash back credit union. Eight four four mojo live. We'll look for the ninety fifth caller with the correct guess to win. Mojo in the morning secret sound eight four four mojo live. Mojo in the morning's dirty on the 30. All right. Broadcast going great today out in front of the Tiger's dugout. Comerica Park, by the way, shout out to Russ doing a great job. Yes, this might be the best. This might be the best one of the best sounding broadcast. Lester and Russ doing a great job out there today. I saw you dancing on Instagram. You got the moves. We love you guys. Appreciate you so much. Shannon's going to do the dirty hair right now. What's going on, Shannon? So let's get the little update on Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's lawsuit. Yesterday, a judge really dealt a blow to Blake Lively's side of the case. Most of her claims were thrown out, including some of the major ones like sexual harassment and defamation. What's left are three claims that will still go to trial. Breach of contract, retaliation, and aiding and abetting retaliation. So there were 14 claims, total 11 of them got tossed. And again, this all goes back to the movie. It ends with us where Blake accused Justin of misconduct and then of conducting this big smear PR campaign against her. He denied all of that. He previously filed and lost a massive countersuit. So actually there have been losses on both sides here. But this time around, the judge's decision is a major setback for Blake's case. Again, not a full dismissal. Her legal team is saying the core issue, which is whether she faced retaliation after, you know, raising her hand about some things that were happening on set. That is still going to be decided in court. Taylor Swift's soon to be sister-in-law. Kylie Kelsey says, enough already. Quit asking me and my mother-in-law about upcoming nuptials. Nobody's telling you anything. I don't have any details. This is true. Nobody is going to say anything. That's because you know why? Even though they're going to be future family, they will get sued by the Taylor Swift people. Imagine. I don't think she would hold the pastor that she would sue family. That would be crazy. So many people think or thought that Travis and Taylor were already married because of this comment that was made on the New Heights podcast. Oh, what is it? I forgot to make it the comment. Oh, that's I am. And you're getting me fired up right now. I love talking about this stuff, too, because football is like I got like one semester left. The eligibility code. Hey, we'll get you a good NIL deal, man. Yeah, yeah, I'm sure. You got to ask your wife. Good six man off the bench. Yeah, sweetie, I'm going back to school. Everyone's like, he's that wife. I don't even think Travis heard it because he was doing. He was. I don't think that was anything. That was definitely a clickbait headline for sure. I heard, by the way, the Kelce's are putting big money behind the athletics programs at University of Cincinnati for their NIL stuff and that both of the guys are doing it, which means that they're going to have a lot of money at Cincinnati. The Bearcats are because you got now Taylor's money also supporting the school. I bet their finances are going to be kept very separate. You think so? Absolutely. Wow. Like that's her plan going into it. You think it's not a pre note? Oh, massive pre note. It's got to be massive. Kim Kardashian has been tapped to produce a brand new reality show about hyper competitive youth based wall families in Arizona. I don't know where she figures into this. The show actually sounds interesting to me. It's going to be called team moms. It's coming to Paramount Plus later this year. But it follows the world of the legendary prep Academy, which is a baseball specific private school out of Scottsdale, Arizona that produces a lot of NCAA and MLB stars. And she's got a producer credit on this. I know her son is saying is really into soccer or at least he loves Lionel Messi. I wonder if maybe somebody's in the baseball. Yeah, I don't know. I'm trying to make that connection. But when it be wild to see that Kanye's kids like are really athletic and they play some professional sport, they have the world at their oyster. You know, I mean, the financial they can have the best trainers. They can have best nutritionists. So if they wanted to go that route, you know, I could see it. I wonder what Kanye would do, though, if his kids had no or no musical ability. Like, you know what I mean? Like they, well, you know, Kanye has his hands in so much. So maybe they're, you know, more into the fashion space or more into the art space or sneaker design. And lastly, country superstars. Zach Bryant is given back in a big way in his home state. The Oklahoma native teamed up with the sonic foundation as the fast as in the fast food restaurant to hand out more than 5000 free concert tickets to teachers across Tulsa and Oklahoma city in nearby communities. The tickets are for his upcoming hometown shows at HH Atman Stadium as part of his with heaven on tour. Kind of cool that he's doing it specifically for teachers that they can go see him for a little bit. Yeah. I'll real quick before you end the dirty. We're excited that we're live on the field at Comerica Park and Anna grabbed herself somebody to talk to here. And Anna and Bianca. Who do you guys have with you? We have Asia Asia. I do not want to mispronounce your last name. I think this mic is on right. All right. If you could say your name into the mic. She is the SVP of Tigers brand marketing. Hey there. Hey, it's ghosting and her outfit is fire. I wish I'll get we've had Asia on with us before. Asia what's going on. Welcome back to the show. How are you? I'm good. How are you last time? Get out on the early morning here at the ballpark. No, no, no. We didn't skip out any. I'm going to be over there and just a little bit. We just had some technical stuff that we had to tend to. To we got low budget by the way. Asia. I apologize. It's a big budget. No, Asia Asia Asia. We need whatever is your outfit budget. I'm looking online right now. See the gloves and hat.

So I know. I'm not a match. Pause energy is he different this year? He looked a little taller and slim. Maybe it's just that I'm used to seeing it. It's all that big pause. You on the shot. He is not. He is not. So talk to us. Can you tell us a little bit about this slogan that I have on the back of my my code right now Detroit. Detroit no matter what. So that is our brand campaign for the 2026 season. So super excited. And what does it mean? Why? Why did we pick this as the slogan? You know, when we were going back with the team and trying to figure out like what is the message that we want to tell the fans? And we really wanted to lean into the old English TV because we're celebrating 125 years of Detroit Tigers baseball this year. And so that's where the Detroit no matter what came up because throughout the years it's always been Detroit. I love it. It's dope. Asia. Can I ask a couple quick questions of Asia? Of course. I'm so excited for these two new uniform jerseys that you guys. What's your favorite? I like the orange. Like I like I go. I love orange, but I'm telling you I am like excited for the fact that like my son who's a college kid is so excited about it. Like it's cool. I think it's brought some youth back. I know that you've always had good, you know, crowds with younger people going to games, but I feel like the college kids are so into the Tigers right now. You know, it's it's it's everything that we have going on. I love the the orange. We got to pilot that for the last two years in the postseason and we knew that fans really, really gravitated towards it. So we'll never walk away from our home whites, but I'm excited to see the the Orange take the field on Friday, April 10th for the first time. And can you do me a favor with this? Because this is big for a guy like me. Like I go to games. I'll probably get to like maybe seven or eight games, you know, or so during the year. I usually like, I don't know. I mooch off of my friends who are season ticket holders. But can you talk to me about how I can watch the games? Because I know that that's been a little bit of a thing where people are like, wait a second, where do I see a Tigers game if I'm watching? Yes. So we have Detroit Sportsnet that is presented by bet three six five. So we are excited to to bring that that network to life and it's year round sports for the Detroit Tigers and the Detroit Red Wings.
