Mojo in the mornings, dirty on the 30. Shannon's gonna do the dirty real quick though. We go out live to Co-Miracle Park right in front of the Tigers dugout, where another big executive, big wigs. I like it. The Tigers making the moves here today by giving us some good guests. And what do you got there, Anna? So we are here with Bobby, and if you're on the screen, you see how nice he looks. He might have the coolest sneakers on that I've ever seen. Bianca's gonna have to put it on. Is this Bobby Hoekstra, the vice president of business operations? Hi Bobby. Bobby, how are you doing? How are you? Good to see you, you're missing out not being at the ballpark. I'm there in a couple of minutes here, Bobby. I'm telling you, you know what I had? I had PTSD from last year when I got frostbitten and I screwed up the year. The problem is Bobby with opening day and being from Michigan, we get usually a mixture of kind of weather. This might be the greatest weather we've ever had opening day in the history of Tigers baseball. Yeah, we even, there's chance, potential warmest opening day on record. Oh, wow. It might happen today. Wow. Man, how excited are you for this team, this roster this year that has been put together? We're thrilled. It was, you know, really fun to see what our baseball ops group did this off season and bringing the whole plan together. So, you know, obviously, Verlander just seeing the fan reaction to that, that's been great. So we're really excited for Sunday night with him here, but also with Fran Burr as well today getting to make his America Park debut. So it's been fun to see that. And then certainly with the young core and the guys coming up, like I can't wait to see Kevin McGonigal today too. He's been a ton of fun to watch and yeah, a lot, a lot, a lot to like with the team this year. We're really excited. When you say that about seeing Kevin McGonigal, did you go down and see him at all doing his run in Lakeland or did or will this be your first time seeing him face to face? So yeah, I was down there for spring training and seeing him there a few times and a little bit on some of his minor stops. But, you know, nothing like the big show. So really can't wait to see our Park response to him today. Well, he has been a he's been like such a phenom that social media is blowing up about him. I mean, I'm seeing Pat McAfee talking about him and talking about how big he is. But you're right. He now gets to see the home ballpark that he's going to be playing a majority of his games. And I want to know what their feeling is like when they walk through those, you know, through the dugout up onto the field, like and see the big show for the first time. Oh yeah, for sure. And, you know, everyone's debut is special. And, you know, I know he's kind of going through his routine. He's already been out here taking infield this morning. But yeah, nothing like coming to the top steps and, you know, he's leaving off today. So he'll get a quick taste. That's great. What are you most excited about aside from that? Like, what about the fans that are coming down? What are they going to experience in the concourse area? Yeah, so I mean, number one, we're just excited to have fans back in the ballpark again. The, you know, a lot of work in the off season. It's long and we we look forward to this day. So, you know, 45,000 in here is going to be amazing. And we've got a lot of new offerings for them, you know, certainly with the food, you know, when it went to work again, we got the short ribs sandwich, we got the tiger tail. Oh, speaking of quick taste. Brogy nachos. Chef Mark was great. I met him last week. He knows his stuff, man. I don't even like ribs, but I like that sandwich. That was really good. Oh yeah, Chef Mark is becoming a celebrity. I know, literally. Bobby, you cost me money last year. So last year we were out there. You had the coolest jacket on, tiger's jacket on. I ended up going to buy that right afterwards. My wife tells me I've got out of all the teams in, you know, in Detroit, I have more tiger's gear than probably the players do inside their clubhouse. You know, I'm glad you brought it up. You know, Alondra's been hard at work on the merchandising. The rack of jackets is back. So there's plenty of there to look at and the D shops waiting for you when you get here. Yeah, it's really great. It's awesome. And I was at Grayson yesterday. I was talking to the guys. I'm like, where's all the tiger stuff? They're like, we moved it to the park. So they moved a whole bunch of stuff down there. So I was excited to get there to the game early so I can see what they put out this year. Charlie always does a really good job with you guys. I'm excited for this season, Bobby. I'm excited for the fact that Tiger's baseball is back. We had one of those seasons last year where it was a blow away. Like I can't believe it. We're actually, we were in the playoffs, so to speak at, you know, the all-star break. Yeah. So I'm hoping that we go on this kind of run too. But I also, I want us to do something in the playoffs to share. And I think we've got those veterans that can help us, especially in that bullpen. Yeah, absolutely. You know, last year was a lot of fun, especially the first three, four months of the season, you know, having the best record in baseball for so long. That's excited. Obviously, September was weird. We did not enjoy that. And we are, you know, we got to go much further in the postseason. So, you know, we're excited about this team. Again, our baseball ops group went to work addressing any issues. You know, when we're excited about this group and we're feeling pretty confident about what they can deliver this year. I got two words. Well, four. First to our Go Tigers. The second are signed scuba. Dude, Lydia fell for that April Fool's joke. There was a thing going around saying that there was an 11-year, $400 million contract. We all believed it. It's like it's an April Fool's joke. They got us. Can we end off with the most important question? Bobby, what is your walk-up song if you were a player? We're going with Creed and Hire. Let's go! Bobby! That's what I said! Kevin, you got to call him up to play. He's my favorite guy now. Wait, are you ready? All right, hold on a second. Here we go, Bobby. Ready? Kevin's going to announce you to the plate. Standing tall, best sneakers in the business. Ready to send the ball. Hire is Bobby Hoxer! Can you take me higher? Bobby, get into it! It's not a banger. Kevin, that's so good. Thank you so much for being there with us. Oh, I love it. Hey, Bobby, thank you so much. Bobby Hoxer, what is your official title? President? Senior VP! Senior Vice President? This is operations. I need your business card so I can flash that in the parking garage. We'll get you one. Bobby could be an NBA player. He's like 6'7". Oh, he's great. There you go. I'm sorry. I got to go. Thanks, Bobby. We appreciate you guys. Thank you all. Go Tigers. Shannon with the rest of the dirty. What's going on? You want Bobby's number in your phone so you can get free parking? Tiger Woods has President Donald Trump's number in his phone and I think he was trying to reach out to him during his DWI arrest to get a little help. Mr. Woods. Get you to hang out down here with us, please. This is newly released body cam footage. All right, you got it. Thank you. Take it. I'll just keep you down here with us, please. Yeah, I'll just talk to you the President. It's like most casual, not obvious, main drop, Adler. By the way, Tiger's girlfriend, Vanessa Trump, breaking her silence about Tiger's arrest today in the form of a social media post. So she posted on her Instagram story a photo of them like hugging, all cuddled up together and it just said, Love you on it. Clearly showing her support. I don't believe he blew a zero. Really? I don't, man. I don't think he would. I think he was all drugs. Them hiccups. Oh, really? I know the hiccups. I'm like, he looked faded. He is out of the country at rehab. You were saying yesterday on the show. Yeah, the judge did approve that. Are we sure it's rehab? Do we know for a fact? I mean, some of these treatment centers are like, I would go to for a vacation. Is that like normal practice to let somebody lead a country during this? Well, no, but so the story was that he has had a lot of invasions of privacy when he was in treatment here in the States. So this, that was part of the reason the, oh my God. Oh my God, he had a drink. That's part of the reason that the judge okayed him going out of the country. Okay. It was for privacy purposes, but Brittany Spears son is making a noticeable change at least on social media. Sean Preston updated his Instagram handle yesterday to Sean P Spears. Sean Diddy Spears dropping his dad Kevin Federline's last name because he was Sean Preston Federline on there for a long time, adding his moms. Now he has been spending more time with Brittany. Their relationships been improving. So big change there. Brian LaTrell from the Backstreet Boys in the dirty this morning. So he was, sorry, I get so excited every time I hear this. He was trying to enjoy some privacy on the beach in front of his Florida home. The police became involved in this though. This some random a-hole set up a beach chair on Brian's private property, which very clearly states that it is private property. So Brian's security went over, kindly asked the sky to leave. He wouldn't. Brian walks over, tries to ask him to leave. He wouldn't. According to Brian LaTrell's lawyer, the encounter escalated when this guy turned aggressive and struck Brian in the face, prompting him to call 911. Now he was, he being Brian was filming all of this with his phone. And you can see in the video Brian walking up to the guy and this dude seemingly like pushing, smacking the phone out of his face. You came and shoved your phone in my face, bro. You're lucky I did not. Yes, you did. You reached around me from behind my back. Dude, I got you on video. You're broke. You're never going to be bought a house next to private property. You touched me. You bought. No, I didn't touch you. You put your phone in my face. I got it right here. I got it right here. I want to be a. Okay. So that is Brian saying, do you want to be gay? I don't know why he did. I think because the guy like reached around to try to get the phone and made like a reference like that. A lot of people were saying, did he use a gay slur? Did Brian LaTrell use a gay slur and apparently unbleeped. He says f-ing as in the swear word and then the P word, which I hate saying. That's what's bleeped. Oh, got you that goosey. Wow. That's why it's great. I can't comment on that because I didn't hear the unbleeped one. You know what that is? That's the story. Kicking people off your private beach. That is rich people problems right there, Brian. I like it. Get off my dock. I've done that a couple of times. My lawn.

Mojo secret sound is the last one unless we get get a winner. Then we'll bring that secret sound back. If we get a winner, we'll bring it back next next week with a new secret sound. But this is the last one we're going to play today. Natalie, will you give us like the climactic moment of giving us a winner on the last one of the week going into a holiday weekend? Yes, Natalie. I sure hope so. Give us a climax, Natalie. Natalie, please. All right, here we go. Natalie. We're going to get a drum roll. Natalie from Macomb. Let me play the secret sound one last time. Natalie from Macomb. What is this secret sound? I think it's a can opener opening a can. Interesting. Natalie, that is a fantastic guess. But it is not the right answer. Wait, you seem like there's something about it that's kind of right. I ain't going to say a word, but I'm going to say that is a fantastic guess. It sparks your interest. But it is not the right answer. So you know what that means? That means that that is going to carry over now. This sound is going to carry over to Monday morning when it is going to be worth. Let's see this. They gave us $20,000. We gave away seven already. $13,000. That is crazy. DFCU financial, the cashback credit union celebrating 20 years of giving cashback to its members. They gave us 20 grand. We got 13 grand. We're putting it all in on this sound, Natalie. So make sure that Monday morning you are listening at 6 30. Where that sound is going to be worth $13,000. All right, I'll be there. Natalie, Natalie, Natalie, my sweet Natalie. What are you stalling? Are you a little freaked out Natalie when I say stuff like that? No, not at all. Okay. That's all right. You should be. You should be Natalie. No, we're good. Natalie, happy Easter. Do you celebrate Easter? You too. Yeah, I do. I do. Happy Easter to all you guys too. What are you doing? No, just having dinner at my house. That's about it. Did Shannon ever figure out what her meal is going to be? Did you ever figure out what you're going to serve, Shannon? Well, part of it. So I did order a honey baked ham, just a small one, just because that was Wes's request. Good for you. And I'm either going, we're going to Costco today. So I'm either going to get, I'm going to do roast chicken. I'm going to do beef tenderloin. Okay. Are you leaning in either direction? Whatever they have. Whatever I find. That's what I'm grabbing. Nothing specific. I actually really liked the ideas that our listeners gave us the other day. They seriously great ideas. The lady who said she was going to cater Olive Garden, I looked at Wes last night and I'm like, should have we just do that? That sounds so nice and easy and yummy. I for some reason have had a taste all week for a Cornish hun after somebody was saying, and then somebody was telling us that they do beer can chicken. Have you ever done beer? I've never heard of it. Have you ever done beer can chicken before? I think so where you stick it in the booty. Yeah. Your dad seems like a beer can chicken kind of guy. Yeah. Like I could see where Tim Murphy would make a beer can chicken. What's the purpose of it? What's the Irish pub that's in Corktown? We did a broadcast there once. McShane's. I think that they had, I think they had it before there, right? McShane's, is that you've been there before, Anna? I've been to McShane's. Yeah. They always have an insane line for Tiger's games too. Yeah. That's a fun place. In the past, I've heard that they've done beer can chicken before. All right. Let me take a break and we'll be back with more coming up next. We're almost done.
