near you. All right, this is our Auto Show podcast.
It's the Detroit Auto Show. It's going on all the
way through to the twentieth And the cool thing about
the Auto Show is it is the hottest cars, the
future of cars, and it's all right here in the
motor city. And I love the fact that Shannon, keV,
(00:43):
Zack and myself I'll get a chance to be out
here and get special treatment.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
How great is this? Now?
Speaker 3 (00:47):
This is really cool to be here. I've never seen
a setup like this. I think our setup personally, yet
I feel important.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
I love cars, you guys, ever since I was a kid.
It was funny we walked by a little store area
where they were selling hot wheels and it brought back
so many memories.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
You sounded like a ten year old when we.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
All I wanted to do is go home and play
with my cars. I used to make fake cities and
all the rest of the stuff.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
It was your car noise when the cars were.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Like going, Oh yeah, I think we all had the
same noise. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Can I ask you guys a question. Do you remember
the first car that you physically got to drive? And
it could have been obviously before you even had your license,
like maybe your parents let you stare.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
The wheel or whatever.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
It had to be one of those situations like in
a driveway with my mom or my dad, like acting
like I was backing up or pulling inside.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Those are probably like my earliest memories.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Do you remember what kind of car it was? Or
my mom was a Mini van? Don the Green wind Star?
My mama got the Green wind Star with the TV
flipped out.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Oh my god, you're so lucky.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
It was over. How about you?
Speaker 5 (01:53):
So mine is?
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Actually it's funny that you're you're asking me this question
because it was my dad's little MG convertible and it
was a two seater and he would let me sit
in the passenger seat, but like quote unquote drive and
shift the Gears. He still has that car, it's all
taken apart in his garage and he's giving it to me.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
So he and my stepmom are working on it so
that West and I can have it and make the
same memories with Lucy Smith.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Wow?
Speaker 5 (02:18):
That is Isn't that so neat?
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Can I be honest with you? There is something hot
about a girl in cars? And then know that you
have like the old classic car, you can learn.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
How to drive a stick shift because I forgot you.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Know what's funny.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Chelsea's dad would not let her drive until she learned
how to drive a stick shift. Like, she had to
learn how to drive a stick shift and the reason
why was he said that it made you better driver
because you had to stay off of everything phones and
all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Oh yeah, our family.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Shannon's gonna hate me saying this because I make fun
of her all the time when she does the Morane
Buick GMC commercials. But we were a Buick family. Yeah,
so my dad was, So I make fun of you
all the time. B O excited. But we were a
Buick family. Yeah, so it was a Buick stench. He
was the first car that we ever had in our
house and I ever got to drive. And then I
remember that when I was going to start driving, my
(03:08):
dad was going to give me his old Viewick Century
and I said, I can't.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Drive that to school.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Everybody will make fun of me because that was like
a family kind of a vehicle. So my dad ended
up buying a used Pontiac Grand Prix for me for.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Ten thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
A thing was unbelievable that it was like gold and
it was it was like, first off, it was like
an old person color, but a cool car.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
What about you, Zach.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
My first car was a nineteen ninety eight Honda Accord.
Got it used and it had a window tint that
someone applied on, but it had the bubbles on it, so.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Someone didn't didn't.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Yeah, yeah, so it was kind of my little ghetto car.
I loved it.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
To me, I don't know, I dream sometimes like I
used to be really into cars, like to the point
where I would like obsessed with it. But honestly, to me,
now I'm a functionality. So that's why I drive. I
have a tahoe. I looked sometimes though at like these
electric Silverados or we just drove by, what is.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
Like, That's what you hear by the way, in the
background is a bunch of these cars.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
It's pretty crazy to see these cars that are you know, electric,
And honestly, I don't even still care that much. Is
there electric? I like the autonomous idea. The idea is
somebody's chow foreing me around.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
One thing that's really cool like walking through here. And
it really dawned on me when Shannon you talked about
the relationship with the car that you and your dad had. Yeah,
it's something generational about these experiences.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Mojo.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
You touched on it with your hot wheels, like it
brings us back to a time in our life where
we really have these core memories built around vehicles.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
And you know what, Ken, you need to tell the
story speaking of that of you. This is my very
first time coming to the auto show. I came to
the charity preview, but like being here today and walking
around is my very first time. And I've been a
trader my entire life. Like I was born, you know,
in Michigan, but when you were little and you would
come here with your grandmama, yes and her boyfriend.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
What did you do my grandma boyfriend?
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Rest is so mister Burton. He was the car guy.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
He marked in like GM, like I come from a
long line of like Ford employees.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
And he was a GM boyfriend.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
And he loved cars. And his thing with me was
we were going to the Auto Show every year. We
would go multiple days and my favorite thing to do
was to go around to all of the cars, and
they used to have booklets and I used to go
home with bags and bags of booklets.
Speaker 7 (05:29):
Like this is my navigator, this is gonna be like
And that's what I was gonna say, is That's the
other cool thing about the Auto show is it kind
of allows you to dream too of like if I
could have any car, it would be that one right there.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
The one thing I remember with the Auto Show back
in the day more so than even now. And now
it's cool, but I remember when through a period when
you know, the economy got crazy in O eight, back
in the day, like the early two thousands.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
I remember coming.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Here they would have rock walls that were like built
so high it was almost like they had the raised
a roof for this place. And to know that our
neighbors that could be across the straight or down the
street were people who helped design the auto shows and
design and it's not just for here, but it's for Chicago,
Los Angeles, you know the auto shows that are across
(06:17):
the country. I think Detroit the internet. This used to
be called the International Auto Show. Now they made it
smart because Detroit's got a cool name to it. Now
they say Detroit Auto Show. But this is the premiere spot.
Speaker 6 (06:29):
Yo.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
One of the dope things too.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
As you talk about like community and Detroit being the title,
I want to say in the basement, they have an
area where many Detroiters have their vehicles on display, like
their actual.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
Cars during the show.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Like yes, like down here one of my guys, Aaron Field,
because we were talking about giving away Kendrick tickets early.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Kendrick's album is called gn X, which is like an
eighty five money Carlos. He has the only GNX in
Autoso downstairs. Wo.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Yes, So Cauli Ferrari is uh Ferrari dealership that's here
in town.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
It's in West Bloomfield.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
The Collies have inside of their dealership justin Verlander's Ferrari.
He has never driven the car. Wait, what it is
the most expensive Ferrari that is on the road. It's
like a million dollars plus, but it's sitting and the
top floor there. And I remember going over there that
we did an event there, a charity event, and I
remember Joe Cally showing me it and I said to him,
(07:27):
I go, like, he just keeps it in the dealership
and it's an investment obviously, But he may have he
may have taken it around the block or something like that.
I hope he didn't drive it on Orchard Lake because
that fucking road. But I don't know. But it is
wild that there are some people that buy cars like
your dad's cars. That's it, that cars where him giving
it to you is really special because he was going
(07:49):
to sell it.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
So that's how he was going to sell it.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
And I was like, I couldn't I can't imagine not
having that car in our family.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
I don't know where the heck I'm going to put it.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
But I know a lot of people that have classic
cars that are handing down. They bought them from family
members to keep them from going to other people. Yeah, yeah,
one of the cars that you guys don't know this
because I'm the old fucker, but I used to love
watching TV shows with cars, and there used to be
a show called Smoking in the Bandit it was Burt
Reynolds was in it.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
And the car.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
If I showed you the car, you'd know it wasn't
a charger, it was no, it was a It was
a Camaro and it's the coolest damn car ever. And
I remember that car like being the car that I
always thought as a kid, I always wanted, And for
some reason, I always wanted an ambulance.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
I you and Jayleno with these wild ass cars.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
I always thought an ambulance would be kind of a
cool car to have because you could turn the.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Lights on and get through red lights and stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
I always wanted. You remember the movie Gone in Sixty Seconds,
so that Shelby GT that he called eleanor I think
it was a sixty five Shelby.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Ever since I.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Saw that movie, I'm like, when I hit it big,
when I get the chick, when I get the bag, I'm.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Going to get me one of those.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
All right, So cars.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Obviously are the coolest things because of the outsides of
them and how they look and stuff. And it's funny
because we were talking. You saw the Hummer and you're
not a hummer guy, like you know.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
It just not for me.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
It looks it looked like a fat turtle in It's
cool car, It's got cool things. It's got the ability
to be able to crab wall. That's fire realit what
so crab wall? So if you parallel park, I don't
know how good of a parallel parker you are.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
I'm okay, all right.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
I know some people that cannot parallel park. They will
literally not go to places where they have to parallel park.
But I know that it will do it by itself.
That's a cool option. What would be the option you
would want in a car? We got cars that drive themselves.
I know, like, what what do you think? There are
more realistic options than unrealistic options. I mean, I'd love
(09:48):
to have a flying car. I still think like the
Jetsons type thing would be cool, which we will probably
see in our lifetime. Will But what would what would
be the thing Shannon, that you think would make you know,
think in a mom of two, a wife, cool radio person?
Speaker 4 (10:05):
I okay, So one of my biggest pet peeves when
I drive, you guys, see how much crap I constantly
have with me and I always put my purse on
the front in the front seat, so if I stop,
my purse goes onto the floor and everything spills out.
I would love to have like a I don't even know,
like something like a hook, which I know they sell those,
but they don't look cool like part of the car
(10:28):
that I could hook my purse two or like you
know how they have like buckets in the middle for junk, like,
but something like that to set my bag in so
that it was safe and I could just rummage around
in it without having to reach way over or go
on the floor to get what already spilled out.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
That would be cool for me.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
I can't believe that that's something that's not in a car. Yeah,
it sounds That's that's the thing about it. Simplicity is genius.
It sounds so simple, yet no one has done it.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
Yet, And like why, I just why?
Speaker 2 (10:54):
To me?
Speaker 1 (10:55):
I never understood why we don't have garbage cans and cars.
Oh that's why I Mine is my back seat, behind
the passenger seat.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
I love the mornings when you come in and I
see you with an armful of like water bottles, the
cleaning lady hat.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
I'm like bringing all this ship in and it barely
fits in the goddamn trash can when you throw it right.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
That is true, And like the car washes will give
you those little plastic baggies, but that that is an
ice worm. You don't want that in there, and then
you got to get ten of them.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
What would be your option?
Speaker 3 (11:25):
I haven't thought about this, but I don't know if
this is a good idea or a bad idea, but
it just popped into my mind. I don't like the
fact that I have to take keys with me, regardless
if it's keys, right, I always need my fob there.
So I don't know if it's something where like you
can lock the fob in an area and just do
like your thumbprint, but like, why does my key ever
have to leave the vehicle?
Speaker 5 (11:44):
Is there a car that you could do some print?
Like is that a thing?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
I don't think my car I do a thumbprint, do
you really? For what cord? Yeah? And it locks it? Really? Wait? Really,
I have to have my fob on me too.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
Over Okay, So that's what I mean without the okay.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Tesla as you do it from your your cell phone. Basically,
as long as it's in your pocket, your car will
everything will work. You don't need a fob at all,
So you don't need any fobs at all. It's your
it's your your cell phone. You just got to have
your Tesla app on your phone, and your phone's got
to be charged.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
When I pay off my jeep. I'm getting a Tesla.
Are you really?
Speaker 3 (12:18):
I'm dead ass serious. What is it that you want
so much about a Tesla? I think it's just dope.
I think they're sleek. I think they're minimalistic. I like
the autonom is driving like or no no, no, like
a Model Y yeah, I like the Model.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Why I need a little space.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Not to be panicky, but I think the security guard
still has my cell phone?
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Where the fuck is my cell phone? Are you serious?
I don't know. I can't find it. But that's what
let me call you?
Speaker 1 (12:40):
No where you know? I mean, let's let's get my phone.
Hold on, she's taking a pack. No, keep it, keep
it if you want, don't don't open the browser. Though
I was gonna look at I was gonna actually look
at this. You know, you were talking about like options
and stuff for a car, and like the cars that
do have some of these options.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
I think that.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
The the car company that comes up with the ability
to be able to make a car that everybody could afford, Like,
I think that's the thing. Like why is it I
never understood this because the average person keeps a car
for what three years, usually on a lease. Like why
is it that you can't come up with a disposable car?
(13:24):
I know that's crazy, Like come up with a car
that basically is so affordable, like that you can sit
there and go, all right, that's cool.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
But also cool and has all the bells and whistles
that every everybody would want and benefit.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Like I will tell you this, even if it was uncool,
like remember those days when we used to have those
cars that what was the little car that people would
maybe cooper Like.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
What happened to smart cars?
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Remember those?
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Like if you had a car like that that it
was like one hundred dollars a month for your payment,
Oh my god, it would be like the most amazing thing.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
Can we go back to that last question, because I
think I'm going to top all of you with the
what you want?
Speaker 2 (14:04):
What I want?
Speaker 6 (14:05):
I was thinking about it, but every time I go
through a drive through when I get home, my fries
are cold. I want a fry warmer in my car.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Warmer. You may heat it seats. They have a huge
put on there and.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
There there are a few cars that have the cooling
in the cooler.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Yeah, yeah, very smart. We're on our wing. I like
it all right. Here. Here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
I'm not a Ferrari or a Lamborghini. Oh my god,
I'm too fucking fat to sitting those things. But I
am a guy that would look like I like when
I see cars like a Mercedes, you know, suv or
a Rover or something like that, like those cars are cool.
Or the new Escalator. Have you seen the new escalator,
the new Cadillac Escalade. The entire dashboard is all TV screens.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Are like, is it really?
Speaker 3 (14:57):
You see a white car in front of his blue suv,
and I think that I'd be to escalating to me, Like,
I look at something like that and I go, god,
I'd love it, but it'd be dirty in about a week.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
It would be.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
But like those cars, that's to me, like they like
that's and I can't believe sometimes in some of these
cars are like one hundred thousand dollars cars.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
No, yeah, man, it was crazy to me. So I
saw a car here when I was here for the
charity preview. I took a picture of it and showed
our boss Tony this nineteen seventy seven vintage Chevy what
is it, Chevy K twenty. I can't even read that,
but these like vintage cars that are making a comeback
that people are refurbishing like you cannot, Wes and I
thought about getting an old vintage Ford Bronco. Do you
(15:36):
know how much those two hundred thousand dollars? They're insane
like that, all of those kinds of cars are making
a resurgence now.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
That is actually actually it's funny that Chelsea loves the
Ford Bronco like.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
To her old one. Yeah, the old school like O. J.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Simpson in any in older one And to look at
those those are pretty cool. There's a couple of places
in Arizona. I remember that you'd go to a couple
of places where there were some classics that were not
rusted out because you know, out there in the desert,
those things will last for a long time. What when
you so, that's so that's kind of your car, Like,
(16:11):
that's the thing you That was.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
My favorite car that I I've seen here so far
is one of the vintage cars which is open and
I love, love the New Tahoe and the New Yukon.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
They got two Mustangs.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
One is like the I don't want to say normal,
but like the upgrade for the convertible version. And then
they have a lowered mack E which is the electric vehicle.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Oh my god, and that color blue. I don't know
what they call.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
It driving that keV.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
I'm going electric, man, I got to tell you though,
you don't hear that.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Yeah, no, they got the new charger is electric and
a charger that's electric.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Yes, it does everything you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Because the one thing about my Tahoe I start that
thing up. I literally have started that thing up and
had people looked because that things got like that. It's
like it's got that noise to it. And I've driven
a Tesla. You had a Tesla and Luke Luke had
a Tesla and that car was awesome, but it was
like a fucking go kart.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
It was like, literally, I know the.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Thing that the thing that's crazy about them though you
can't hear them when they're coming too though, that's the
only that's the only thing, Like I want to hear it.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Get out of your phone.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Look what okay, here's here's a good one for you
as far as options are concerned in your car entertainment wise,
I feel like Apple car Play is kind of the thing.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
I don't like Apple car Play.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
I think Apple car Play seems to me like for
a company that's like Apple, that's kind of cool and stuff.
I think it still seems like it's outdated.
Speaker 5 (17:45):
Mine has the target pickup app? Are you kidding me?
Do you understand how convenient that is for me?
Speaker 1 (17:52):
But but I think like you should be able to
just sit there and like randomly at all, just be
able to do anything you want to, Like the target
pick up at is the start of what life should
be in.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
Like Jordash should be on there. So it's like ready
when you get home. I will say it, and I
know that it is for safety measures. But when the
car play or just like the car system in general
won't let you do something because it's like you cannot
do that when you're driving, I'm like, so guess what
now I'm going to grab my phone and it's going
to be even more dangerous because you won't let me
do it.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
You know.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
I feel that does need to change.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
And to your point, it is a safety feature, which
is but TikTok has like this plug in where you
can watch Hulu, Netflix and everything on your Desh. More cars,
especially when we talk about these anonymous these autonomous vehicles
where this anonymous person.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Is can I watch TV?
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Yeah, well, in the new Escalade, the passenger can watch TV.
So that TV screen, the passenger can watch TV and
it's made in such a way that the driver can't even.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Lean his head over private that's kind of cool. It
is funny.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
You go back your mom in her minivan and the
fact that it had the screens in it. Those old
screens to at the time were like the greatest you
can put a DVD and.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
Watch and we never had one of those, you or
sold I would die if I got to ride on
somebody's car.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
That one the arm wrist between the back passenger seats.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
You pull that thing up.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
You can put a VHS in yours, watching the Lion
King like ever, and the thing is now think of
the where we've come.
Speaker 5 (19:28):
You know, I have.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
Never owned a car that has those, and my kids
think I am so uncool that my car doesn't have them.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
I like, you guys have iPads.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Exactly, your iPads in the car and the car has
Wi Fi.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
You're fine those guys.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Those guys look at the back wheels on that on
the hummer, So the back wheels actually turn on the
hummer while it's making the turn. So your turning radius
is so good, really like it's it's wild. Watch that
when it comes around again. It's like, it's so cool.
This is I think so yeah. So the back so
the back wheels actually will move. Ready, it's turning, and
the back wheels are turned, will turn turn. See how
(20:04):
it turns, dude, Yeah, so the back wheels move with it,
so your actual turning radius becomes even better.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Look like it's doing a split.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
It does. Yeah, it looks like when my dog's back
paws slide.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
On the Detroit Auto Shows where we're broadcasting, we're just
kind of hanging out. We're doing this little podcast. I
gotta tell you, guys, it's so cool you have. If
it's still going on, you got to come down here.
If you miss it this year, obviously, you know you
can always catch it next year and you can see
the best of the best that's here. I brought my kids.
(20:38):
Every single one of my kids has has gone to
the auto show with me. I think out of all
the kids, Luke was probably the one that was most engaged.
And the coolest thing was seeing cars from a kid's eyes,
kind of like us all talking about them because I
feel like we're still remembering those days. And the cool
thing about us being from Detroit. And anybody that's listening
(20:58):
to this saying that doesn't know what to Troit it's
all about. I would venture to guess that in Detroit
we run across on a daily basis, hundreds of people
that work somehow auto wise.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
And cars mean so much to us. You you know,
need to.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
You know, if you're not driving a car, you're getting
somewhere from point A to point B transportation wise. But truly,
this city is what has gotten people from point A
to point B forever. So it's pretty cool to be
able to be from Detroit. You like that Riveon, don't you?
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Detrait moves the world? I do. I just like electric man.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
I'm ready to. I just don't know how much charge.
You're like that, that's not all the problem, because I'd
be running on E a lot.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Moch What was the charge like in for the Tesla?
The Tesla charge was okay.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
The only downfall was and the reason why you know,
obviously it wasn't something that we would thought about getting
Luke or keeping with Luke. Was if he was going
to go to East Lanston and come back, you needed
to charge it, you know, and being up at school
and stuff. There weren't enough chargers out there that that's
the only downfall. I mean, if you could have it
just to go from your house to whatever, but you
(22:04):
live in an apartment, you got to find a place
to go charge.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Got charges in there in our parker.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
See that's perfect for you. Your drives eight minutes.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
True, it is a good car. I would keep my jeep.
I feel like you always got to have something gas
just in case.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
This is electric right there, the Silverado's electric. And look
at the back tires are turning to see the back
tires move on that. Yeah, there's the escalator. Look at
the tires on that escalator. Yeah, tires moving on these things.
So it's pretty cool. One thing that's that's common uh
here now is to see all the automakers, whether they
(22:39):
are some of the Detroit automakers. It's amazing to see
how things have generated over time. I remember back when
I was much younger, if you weren't driving an American car.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
People would get pissed at you. My uncle still gets
pissed at me. Oh yeah, and you went and you
went for a Honda. But there was a time.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
So when I moved to Detroit twenty five years ago,
I had a Toyota for Runner. That was the car
that I drove because Chelsea's dad was a sales manager
of a Toyota dealership in Arizona. And I came here
and the general manager of the station, Steve Shram, goes,
We're gonna have to get rid of that car. He
literally he said, he goes, you won't be able to
go on sales calls.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
And it was true.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Like the first the first client that I ever had
was Jack Demmer, and it was Jack Demmer Ford and
Lincoln Mercury, and mister Demer was like yeah, And I
ended up trading it in with him and got and
got rid of it because back there used to.
Speaker 5 (23:40):
Be so much pride for an American made vehicle.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Well and if people were crazy too, they would key
cars at times like they were Oh yeah, back in
the day, there was like you know, especially east side
of town, like the Gross Points and stuff like that. Yeah,
if you drove a car that was not an American
made car. It fucked you up bitter bases. Okay, So
guys in kind of closing and kind of us like
(24:05):
hanging out and being able to be here. Uh, what
is the most prideful thing about the fact that we're
from a city that makes all these great pieces of machinery.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
I think it's really cool.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
I mean, we we have a caller, Kenyeta, She's always
our like first caller of the day, And to me,
it is so cool that it's men, it's women, it's young,
it's old like just so there's so much diversity in
the people that build our ideas. It's every yeah, yeah,
I mean my you know, my my family from as
(24:39):
many generations as I know, has been a part of
the industry. And I just think that everybody who lives
here has some connection. Everybody, no matter who you are
to you know, to Detroit, to the Motor City.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
And the fact being on the air, you're right that
you know, we've got people that are everything from working
on the line to hanging out in the glasshouse, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (25:04):
And it's life here.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Yeah, it's pretty cool. What about you, Ken, I it's
interesting I saw on it. There's an Instagram account that
I follow called Black Detroiters and it just highlights Black
Detraders who have done or are doing amazing things. And
with the Auto Show happening right now, the person who
runs the account showed in nineteen ninety three, Cole and
a young sitting in a new Jeep Grand Cherokey. Was
(25:28):
like the first time they came out with the vehicle
and the innovative way that they introduced the vehicle. They
started outside of Corbo ha in the vehicle, put it
in four wheel drive, drove up the stairs and then
crashed through the glass. And that was how they introduced
the vehicle to the world. And that's what the traders about. Man,
we're innovative, we think outside the box, and we shocked
(25:50):
the world.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Yeah, it is. It is really cool to see the stuff,
Like you're playing Where's there?
Speaker 5 (25:54):
We shock the world?
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Yeah, because the cars? Yeah, you literally.
Speaker 6 (25:59):
But I love that as soon as I came into here,
like it reminds me of being a child again and
coming here with my uncles and my family, and I
love that it just brings people together and families together.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
The thing I always love is the fact that in
Detroit we feel the greatness, but we also feel the
pain before anybody else. Yeah, like we know when the rest,
like the rest of the world be like, man, things
are tough right now in the auto industry.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
They don't even realize it.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
And then when they realize it, their industry, the auto
industry is so how everything else goes around, you know,
the world manufacturing wise. And when things are great, we
love it. Everything's good. And when things are tough, it's
tough too. And people here know how to deal with
that and they've dealt with it. And we've seen this
(26:50):
numerous times. And unfortunately this just sucks. Whenever you hear
these companies that have to like let a ton of
people go, it sucks. But then you know that brighter
times are on the other side of this whole thing.
And so being at the auto show is the coolest
thing ever. And if you have never been, I truly
suggest that you get to the auto shows.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (27:12):
It's a family event, but it's also honestly, if if
I was a twenty something year old.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Dating, it'd be a good date spot. So vibe in here.
They got fool, they got two k over there and Madden.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
If you like of kids stuff, we have to see
all the movie all the movie cars.
Speaker 5 (27:27):
I didn't get to see that.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Look when we were in your leaves.
Speaker 5 (27:29):
Okay, did you're the national?
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Did you see the amount of young single guys that
are walking around here?
Speaker 4 (27:37):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Do you know they're a single? Well? They look like it.
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
I gotta tell Lydia, KP and Megan.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Seriously, I don't know girls right now. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Okay, well that's true, but still there's probably lots of
hot single girls around here.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Did you see ay? Hot single girls? Willum? You know what, Honestly,
I don't know if I'm into girls right now. I
don't know. I'm right, I'm in the cars. I'm in
the cars.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
I'll be right. I'll be quite honest with you. I
love women and I love sex. But honestly, you give
me that hummer, that's the hummer I want, right, So.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
I'll take it.
Speaker 1 (28:11):

It's the Detroit Auto Show. It's going on all the
way through to the twentieth And the cool thing about
the Auto Show is it is the hottest cars, the
future of cars, and it's all right here in the
motor city. And I love the fact that Shannon, keV,
(00:43):
Zack and myself I'll get a chance to be out
here and get special treatment.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
How great is this? Now?
Speaker 3 (00:47):
This is really cool to be here. I've never seen
a setup like this. I think our setup personally, yet
I feel important.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
I love cars, you guys, ever since I was a kid.
It was funny we walked by a little store area
where they were selling hot wheels and it brought back
so many memories.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
You sounded like a ten year old when we.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
All I wanted to do is go home and play
with my cars. I used to make fake cities and
all the rest of the stuff.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
It was your car noise when the cars were.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Like going, Oh yeah, I think we all had the
same noise. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Can I ask you guys a question. Do you remember
the first car that you physically got to drive? And
it could have been obviously before you even had your license,
like maybe your parents let you stare.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
The wheel or whatever.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
It had to be one of those situations like in
a driveway with my mom or my dad, like acting
like I was backing up or pulling inside.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Those are probably like my earliest memories.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Do you remember what kind of car it was? Or
my mom was a Mini van? Don the Green wind Star?
My mama got the Green wind Star with the TV
flipped out.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Oh my god, you're so lucky.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
It was over. How about you?
Speaker 5 (01:53):
So mine is?
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Actually it's funny that you're you're asking me this question
because it was my dad's little MG convertible and it
was a two seater and he would let me sit
in the passenger seat, but like quote unquote drive and
shift the Gears. He still has that car, it's all
taken apart in his garage and he's giving it to me.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
So he and my stepmom are working on it so
that West and I can have it and make the
same memories with Lucy Smith.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Wow?
Speaker 5 (02:18):
That is Isn't that so neat?
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Can I be honest with you? There is something hot
about a girl in cars? And then know that you
have like the old classic car, you can learn.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
How to drive a stick shift because I forgot you.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Know what's funny.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Chelsea's dad would not let her drive until she learned
how to drive a stick shift. Like, she had to
learn how to drive a stick shift and the reason
why was he said that it made you better driver
because you had to stay off of everything phones and
all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Oh yeah, our family.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Shannon's gonna hate me saying this because I make fun
of her all the time when she does the Morane
Buick GMC commercials. But we were a Buick family. Yeah,
so my dad was, So I make fun of you
all the time. B O excited. But we were a
Buick family. Yeah, so it was a Buick stench. He
was the first car that we ever had in our
house and I ever got to drive. And then I
remember that when I was going to start driving, my
(03:08):
dad was going to give me his old Viewick Century
and I said, I can't.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Drive that to school.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Everybody will make fun of me because that was like
a family kind of a vehicle. So my dad ended
up buying a used Pontiac Grand Prix for me for.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Ten thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
A thing was unbelievable that it was like gold and
it was it was like, first off, it was like
an old person color, but a cool car.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
What about you, Zach.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
My first car was a nineteen ninety eight Honda Accord.
Got it used and it had a window tint that
someone applied on, but it had the bubbles on it, so.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Someone didn't didn't.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Yeah, yeah, so it was kind of my little ghetto car.
I loved it.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
To me, I don't know, I dream sometimes like I
used to be really into cars, like to the point
where I would like obsessed with it. But honestly, to me,
now I'm a functionality. So that's why I drive. I
have a tahoe. I looked sometimes though at like these
electric Silverados or we just drove by, what is.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
Like, That's what you hear by the way, in the
background is a bunch of these cars.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
It's pretty crazy to see these cars that are you know, electric,
And honestly, I don't even still care that much. Is
there electric? I like the autonomous idea. The idea is
somebody's chow foreing me around.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
One thing that's really cool like walking through here. And
it really dawned on me when Shannon you talked about
the relationship with the car that you and your dad had. Yeah,
it's something generational about these experiences.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Mojo.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
You touched on it with your hot wheels, like it
brings us back to a time in our life where
we really have these core memories built around vehicles.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
And you know what, Ken, you need to tell the
story speaking of that of you. This is my very
first time coming to the auto show. I came to
the charity preview, but like being here today and walking
around is my very first time. And I've been a
trader my entire life. Like I was born, you know,
in Michigan, but when you were little and you would
come here with your grandmama, yes and her boyfriend.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
What did you do my grandma boyfriend?
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Rest is so mister Burton. He was the car guy.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
He marked in like GM, like I come from a
long line of like Ford employees.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
And he was a GM boyfriend.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
And he loved cars. And his thing with me was
we were going to the Auto Show every year. We
would go multiple days and my favorite thing to do
was to go around to all of the cars, and
they used to have booklets and I used to go
home with bags and bags of booklets.
Speaker 7 (05:29):
Like this is my navigator, this is gonna be like
And that's what I was gonna say, is That's the
other cool thing about the Auto show is it kind
of allows you to dream too of like if I
could have any car, it would be that one right there.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
The one thing I remember with the Auto Show back
in the day more so than even now. And now
it's cool, but I remember when through a period when
you know, the economy got crazy in O eight, back
in the day, like the early two thousands.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
I remember coming.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Here they would have rock walls that were like built
so high it was almost like they had the raised
a roof for this place. And to know that our
neighbors that could be across the straight or down the
street were people who helped design the auto shows and
design and it's not just for here, but it's for Chicago,
Los Angeles, you know the auto shows that are across
(06:17):
the country. I think Detroit the internet. This used to
be called the International Auto Show. Now they made it
smart because Detroit's got a cool name to it. Now
they say Detroit Auto Show. But this is the premiere spot.
Speaker 6 (06:29):
Yo.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
One of the dope things too.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
As you talk about like community and Detroit being the title,
I want to say in the basement, they have an
area where many Detroiters have their vehicles on display, like
their actual.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
Cars during the show.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Like yes, like down here one of my guys, Aaron Field,
because we were talking about giving away Kendrick tickets early.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Kendrick's album is called gn X, which is like an
eighty five money Carlos. He has the only GNX in
Autoso downstairs. Wo.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Yes, So Cauli Ferrari is uh Ferrari dealership that's here
in town.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
It's in West Bloomfield.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
The Collies have inside of their dealership justin Verlander's Ferrari.
He has never driven the car. Wait, what it is
the most expensive Ferrari that is on the road. It's
like a million dollars plus, but it's sitting and the
top floor there. And I remember going over there that
we did an event there, a charity event, and I
remember Joe Cally showing me it and I said to him,
(07:27):
I go, like, he just keeps it in the dealership
and it's an investment obviously, But he may have he
may have taken it around the block or something like that.
I hope he didn't drive it on Orchard Lake because
that fucking road. But I don't know. But it is
wild that there are some people that buy cars like
your dad's cars. That's it, that cars where him giving
it to you is really special because he was going
(07:49):
to sell it.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
So that's how he was going to sell it.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
And I was like, I couldn't I can't imagine not
having that car in our family.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
I don't know where the heck I'm going to put it.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
But I know a lot of people that have classic
cars that are handing down. They bought them from family
members to keep them from going to other people. Yeah, yeah,
one of the cars that you guys don't know this
because I'm the old fucker, but I used to love
watching TV shows with cars, and there used to be
a show called Smoking in the Bandit it was Burt
Reynolds was in it.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
And the car.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
If I showed you the car, you'd know it wasn't
a charger, it was no, it was a It was
a Camaro and it's the coolest damn car ever. And
I remember that car like being the car that I
always thought as a kid, I always wanted, And for
some reason, I always wanted an ambulance.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
I you and Jayleno with these wild ass cars.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
I always thought an ambulance would be kind of a
cool car to have because you could turn the.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Lights on and get through red lights and stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
I always wanted. You remember the movie Gone in Sixty Seconds,
so that Shelby GT that he called eleanor I think
it was a sixty five Shelby.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Ever since I.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Saw that movie, I'm like, when I hit it big,
when I get the chick, when I get the bag, I'm.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Going to get me one of those.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
All right, So cars.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Obviously are the coolest things because of the outsides of
them and how they look and stuff. And it's funny
because we were talking. You saw the Hummer and you're
not a hummer guy, like you know.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
It just not for me.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
It looks it looked like a fat turtle in It's
cool car, It's got cool things. It's got the ability
to be able to crab wall. That's fire realit what
so crab wall? So if you parallel park, I don't
know how good of a parallel parker you are.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
I'm okay, all right.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
I know some people that cannot parallel park. They will
literally not go to places where they have to parallel park.
But I know that it will do it by itself.
That's a cool option. What would be the option you
would want in a car? We got cars that drive themselves.
I know, like, what what do you think? There are
more realistic options than unrealistic options. I mean, I'd love
(09:48):
to have a flying car. I still think like the
Jetsons type thing would be cool, which we will probably
see in our lifetime. Will But what would what would
be the thing Shannon, that you think would make you know,
think in a mom of two, a wife, cool radio person?
Speaker 4 (10:05):
I okay, So one of my biggest pet peeves when
I drive, you guys, see how much crap I constantly
have with me and I always put my purse on
the front in the front seat, so if I stop,
my purse goes onto the floor and everything spills out.
I would love to have like a I don't even know,
like something like a hook, which I know they sell those,
but they don't look cool like part of the car
(10:28):
that I could hook my purse two or like you
know how they have like buckets in the middle for junk, like,
but something like that to set my bag in so
that it was safe and I could just rummage around
in it without having to reach way over or go
on the floor to get what already spilled out.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
That would be cool for me.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
I can't believe that that's something that's not in a car. Yeah,
it sounds That's that's the thing about it. Simplicity is genius.
It sounds so simple, yet no one has done it.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
Yet, And like why, I just why?
Speaker 2 (10:54):
To me?
Speaker 1 (10:55):
I never understood why we don't have garbage cans and cars.
Oh that's why I Mine is my back seat, behind
the passenger seat.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
I love the mornings when you come in and I
see you with an armful of like water bottles, the
cleaning lady hat.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
I'm like bringing all this ship in and it barely
fits in the goddamn trash can when you throw it right.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
That is true, And like the car washes will give
you those little plastic baggies, but that that is an
ice worm. You don't want that in there, and then
you got to get ten of them.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
What would be your option?
Speaker 3 (11:25):
I haven't thought about this, but I don't know if
this is a good idea or a bad idea, but
it just popped into my mind. I don't like the
fact that I have to take keys with me, regardless
if it's keys, right, I always need my fob there.
So I don't know if it's something where like you
can lock the fob in an area and just do
like your thumbprint, but like, why does my key ever
have to leave the vehicle?
Speaker 5 (11:44):
Is there a car that you could do some print?
Like is that a thing?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
I don't think my car I do a thumbprint, do
you really? For what cord? Yeah? And it locks it? Really? Wait? Really,
I have to have my fob on me too.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
Over Okay, So that's what I mean without the okay.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Tesla as you do it from your your cell phone. Basically,
as long as it's in your pocket, your car will
everything will work. You don't need a fob at all,
So you don't need any fobs at all. It's your
it's your your cell phone. You just got to have
your Tesla app on your phone, and your phone's got
to be charged.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
When I pay off my jeep. I'm getting a Tesla.
Are you really?
Speaker 3 (12:18):
I'm dead ass serious. What is it that you want
so much about a Tesla? I think it's just dope.
I think they're sleek. I think they're minimalistic. I like
the autonom is driving like or no no, no, like
a Model Y yeah, I like the Model.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Why I need a little space.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Not to be panicky, but I think the security guard
still has my cell phone?
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Where the fuck is my cell phone? Are you serious?
I don't know. I can't find it. But that's what
let me call you?
Speaker 1 (12:40):
No where you know? I mean, let's let's get my phone.
Hold on, she's taking a pack. No, keep it, keep
it if you want, don't don't open the browser. Though
I was gonna look at I was gonna actually look
at this. You know, you were talking about like options
and stuff for a car, and like the cars that
do have some of these options.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
I think that.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
The the car company that comes up with the ability
to be able to make a car that everybody could afford, Like,
I think that's the thing. Like why is it I
never understood this because the average person keeps a car
for what three years, usually on a lease. Like why
is it that you can't come up with a disposable car?
(13:24):
I know that's crazy, Like come up with a car
that basically is so affordable, like that you can sit
there and go, all right, that's cool.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
But also cool and has all the bells and whistles
that every everybody would want and benefit.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Like I will tell you this, even if it was uncool,
like remember those days when we used to have those
cars that what was the little car that people would
maybe cooper Like.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
What happened to smart cars?
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Remember those?
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Like if you had a car like that that it
was like one hundred dollars a month for your payment,
Oh my god, it would be like the most amazing thing.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
Can we go back to that last question, because I
think I'm going to top all of you with the
what you want?
Speaker 2 (14:04):
What I want?
Speaker 6 (14:05):
I was thinking about it, but every time I go
through a drive through when I get home, my fries
are cold. I want a fry warmer in my car.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Warmer. You may heat it seats. They have a huge
put on there and.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
There there are a few cars that have the cooling
in the cooler.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Yeah, yeah, very smart. We're on our wing. I like
it all right. Here. Here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
I'm not a Ferrari or a Lamborghini. Oh my god,
I'm too fucking fat to sitting those things. But I
am a guy that would look like I like when
I see cars like a Mercedes, you know, suv or
a Rover or something like that, like those cars are cool.
Or the new Escalator. Have you seen the new escalator,
the new Cadillac Escalade. The entire dashboard is all TV screens.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Are like, is it really?
Speaker 3 (14:57):
You see a white car in front of his blue suv,
and I think that I'd be to escalating to me, Like,
I look at something like that and I go, god,
I'd love it, but it'd be dirty in about a week.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
It would be.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
But like those cars, that's to me, like they like
that's and I can't believe sometimes in some of these
cars are like one hundred thousand dollars cars.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
No, yeah, man, it was crazy to me. So I
saw a car here when I was here for the
charity preview. I took a picture of it and showed
our boss Tony this nineteen seventy seven vintage Chevy what
is it, Chevy K twenty. I can't even read that,
but these like vintage cars that are making a comeback
that people are refurbishing like you cannot, Wes and I
thought about getting an old vintage Ford Bronco. Do you
(15:36):
know how much those two hundred thousand dollars? They're insane
like that, all of those kinds of cars are making
a resurgence now.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
That is actually actually it's funny that Chelsea loves the
Ford Bronco like.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
To her old one. Yeah, the old school like O. J.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Simpson in any in older one And to look at
those those are pretty cool. There's a couple of places
in Arizona. I remember that you'd go to a couple
of places where there were some classics that were not
rusted out because you know, out there in the desert,
those things will last for a long time. What when
you so, that's so that's kind of your car, Like,
(16:11):
that's the thing you That was.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
My favorite car that I I've seen here so far
is one of the vintage cars which is open and
I love, love the New Tahoe and the New Yukon.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
They got two Mustangs.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
One is like the I don't want to say normal,
but like the upgrade for the convertible version. And then
they have a lowered mack E which is the electric vehicle.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Oh my god, and that color blue. I don't know
what they call.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
It driving that keV.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
I'm going electric, man, I got to tell you though,
you don't hear that.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Yeah, no, they got the new charger is electric and
a charger that's electric.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Yes, it does everything you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Because the one thing about my Tahoe I start that
thing up. I literally have started that thing up and
had people looked because that things got like that. It's
like it's got that noise to it. And I've driven
a Tesla. You had a Tesla and Luke Luke had
a Tesla and that car was awesome, but it was
like a fucking go kart.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
It was like, literally, I know the.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Thing that the thing that's crazy about them though you
can't hear them when they're coming too though, that's the
only that's the only thing, Like I want to hear it.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Get out of your phone.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Look what okay, here's here's a good one for you
as far as options are concerned in your car entertainment wise,
I feel like Apple car Play is kind of the thing.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
I don't like Apple car Play.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
I think Apple car Play seems to me like for
a company that's like Apple, that's kind of cool and stuff.
I think it still seems like it's outdated.
Speaker 5 (17:45):
Mine has the target pickup app? Are you kidding me?
Do you understand how convenient that is for me?
Speaker 1 (17:52):
But but I think like you should be able to
just sit there and like randomly at all, just be
able to do anything you want to, Like the target
pick up at is the start of what life should
be in.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
Like Jordash should be on there. So it's like ready
when you get home. I will say it, and I
know that it is for safety measures. But when the
car play or just like the car system in general
won't let you do something because it's like you cannot
do that when you're driving, I'm like, so guess what
now I'm going to grab my phone and it's going
to be even more dangerous because you won't let me
do it.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
You know.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
I feel that does need to change.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
And to your point, it is a safety feature, which
is but TikTok has like this plug in where you
can watch Hulu, Netflix and everything on your Desh. More cars,
especially when we talk about these anonymous these autonomous vehicles
where this anonymous person.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Is can I watch TV?
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Yeah, well, in the new Escalade, the passenger can watch TV.
So that TV screen, the passenger can watch TV and
it's made in such a way that the driver can't even.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Lean his head over private that's kind of cool. It
is funny.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
You go back your mom in her minivan and the
fact that it had the screens in it. Those old
screens to at the time were like the greatest you
can put a DVD and.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
Watch and we never had one of those, you or
sold I would die if I got to ride on
somebody's car.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
That one the arm wrist between the back passenger seats.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
You pull that thing up.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
You can put a VHS in yours, watching the Lion
King like ever, and the thing is now think of
the where we've come.
Speaker 5 (19:28):
You know, I have.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
Never owned a car that has those, and my kids
think I am so uncool that my car doesn't have them.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
I like, you guys have iPads.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Exactly, your iPads in the car and the car has
Wi Fi.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
You're fine those guys.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Those guys look at the back wheels on that on
the hummer, So the back wheels actually turn on the
hummer while it's making the turn. So your turning radius
is so good, really like it's it's wild. Watch that
when it comes around again. It's like, it's so cool.
This is I think so yeah. So the back so
the back wheels actually will move. Ready, it's turning, and
the back wheels are turned, will turn turn. See how
(20:04):
it turns, dude, Yeah, so the back wheels move with it,
so your actual turning radius becomes even better.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Look like it's doing a split.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
It does. Yeah, it looks like when my dog's back
paws slide.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
On the Detroit Auto Shows where we're broadcasting, we're just
kind of hanging out. We're doing this little podcast. I
gotta tell you, guys, it's so cool you have. If
it's still going on, you got to come down here.
If you miss it this year, obviously, you know you
can always catch it next year and you can see
the best of the best that's here. I brought my kids.
(20:38):
Every single one of my kids has has gone to
the auto show with me. I think out of all
the kids, Luke was probably the one that was most engaged.
And the coolest thing was seeing cars from a kid's eyes,
kind of like us all talking about them because I
feel like we're still remembering those days. And the cool
thing about us being from Detroit. And anybody that's listening
(20:58):
to this saying that doesn't know what to Troit it's
all about. I would venture to guess that in Detroit
we run across on a daily basis, hundreds of people
that work somehow auto wise.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
And cars mean so much to us. You you know,
need to.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
You know, if you're not driving a car, you're getting
somewhere from point A to point B transportation wise. But truly,
this city is what has gotten people from point A
to point B forever. So it's pretty cool to be
able to be from Detroit. You like that Riveon, don't you?
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Detrait moves the world? I do. I just like electric man.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
I'm ready to. I just don't know how much charge.
You're like that, that's not all the problem, because I'd
be running on E a lot.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Moch What was the charge like in for the Tesla?
The Tesla charge was okay.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
The only downfall was and the reason why you know,
obviously it wasn't something that we would thought about getting
Luke or keeping with Luke. Was if he was going
to go to East Lanston and come back, you needed
to charge it, you know, and being up at school
and stuff. There weren't enough chargers out there that that's
the only downfall. I mean, if you could have it
just to go from your house to whatever, but you
(22:04):
live in an apartment, you got to find a place
to go charge.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Got charges in there in our parker.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
See that's perfect for you. Your drives eight minutes.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
True, it is a good car. I would keep my jeep.
I feel like you always got to have something gas
just in case.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
This is electric right there, the Silverado's electric. And look
at the back tires are turning to see the back
tires move on that. Yeah, there's the escalator. Look at
the tires on that escalator. Yeah, tires moving on these things.
So it's pretty cool. One thing that's that's common uh
here now is to see all the automakers, whether they
(22:39):
are some of the Detroit automakers. It's amazing to see
how things have generated over time. I remember back when
I was much younger, if you weren't driving an American car.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
People would get pissed at you. My uncle still gets
pissed at me. Oh yeah, and you went and you
went for a Honda. But there was a time.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
So when I moved to Detroit twenty five years ago,
I had a Toyota for Runner. That was the car
that I drove because Chelsea's dad was a sales manager
of a Toyota dealership in Arizona. And I came here
and the general manager of the station, Steve Shram, goes,
We're gonna have to get rid of that car. He
literally he said, he goes, you won't be able to
go on sales calls.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
And it was true.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Like the first the first client that I ever had
was Jack Demmer, and it was Jack Demmer Ford and
Lincoln Mercury, and mister Demer was like yeah, And I
ended up trading it in with him and got and
got rid of it because back there used to.
Speaker 5 (23:40):
Be so much pride for an American made vehicle.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Well and if people were crazy too, they would key
cars at times like they were Oh yeah, back in
the day, there was like you know, especially east side
of town, like the Gross Points and stuff like that. Yeah,
if you drove a car that was not an American
made car. It fucked you up bitter bases. Okay, So
guys in kind of closing and kind of us like
(24:05):
hanging out and being able to be here. Uh, what
is the most prideful thing about the fact that we're
from a city that makes all these great pieces of machinery.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
I think it's really cool.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
I mean, we we have a caller, Kenyeta, She's always
our like first caller of the day, And to me,
it is so cool that it's men, it's women, it's young,
it's old like just so there's so much diversity in
the people that build our ideas. It's every yeah, yeah,
I mean my you know, my my family from as
(24:39):
many generations as I know, has been a part of
the industry. And I just think that everybody who lives
here has some connection. Everybody, no matter who you are
to you know, to Detroit, to the Motor City.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
And the fact being on the air, you're right that
you know, we've got people that are everything from working
on the line to hanging out in the glasshouse, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (25:04):
And it's life here.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Yeah, it's pretty cool. What about you, Ken, I it's
interesting I saw on it. There's an Instagram account that
I follow called Black Detroiters and it just highlights Black
Detraders who have done or are doing amazing things. And
with the Auto Show happening right now, the person who
runs the account showed in nineteen ninety three, Cole and
a young sitting in a new Jeep Grand Cherokey. Was
(25:28):
like the first time they came out with the vehicle
and the innovative way that they introduced the vehicle. They
started outside of Corbo ha in the vehicle, put it
in four wheel drive, drove up the stairs and then
crashed through the glass. And that was how they introduced
the vehicle to the world. And that's what the traders about. Man,
we're innovative, we think outside the box, and we shocked
(25:50):
the world.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Yeah, it is. It is really cool to see the stuff,
Like you're playing Where's there?
Speaker 5 (25:54):
We shock the world?
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Yeah, because the cars? Yeah, you literally.
Speaker 6 (25:59):
But I love that as soon as I came into here,
like it reminds me of being a child again and
coming here with my uncles and my family, and I
love that it just brings people together and families together.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
The thing I always love is the fact that in
Detroit we feel the greatness, but we also feel the
pain before anybody else. Yeah, like we know when the rest,
like the rest of the world be like, man, things
are tough right now in the auto industry.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
They don't even realize it.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
And then when they realize it, their industry, the auto
industry is so how everything else goes around, you know,
the world manufacturing wise. And when things are great, we
love it. Everything's good. And when things are tough, it's
tough too. And people here know how to deal with
that and they've dealt with it. And we've seen this
(26:50):
numerous times. And unfortunately this just sucks. Whenever you hear
these companies that have to like let a ton of
people go, it sucks. But then you know that brighter
times are on the other side of this whole thing.
And so being at the auto show is the coolest
thing ever. And if you have never been, I truly
suggest that you get to the auto shows.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (27:12):
It's a family event, but it's also honestly, if if
I was a twenty something year old.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Dating, it'd be a good date spot. So vibe in here.
They got fool, they got two k over there and Madden.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
If you like of kids stuff, we have to see
all the movie all the movie cars.
Speaker 5 (27:27):
I didn't get to see that.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Look when we were in your leaves.
Speaker 5 (27:29):
Okay, did you're the national?
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Did you see the amount of young single guys that
are walking around here?
Speaker 4 (27:37):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Do you know they're a single? Well? They look like it.
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
I gotta tell Lydia, KP and Megan.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Seriously, I don't know girls right now. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Okay, well that's true, but still there's probably lots of
hot single girls around here.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Did you see ay? Hot single girls? Willum? You know what, Honestly,
I don't know if I'm into girls right now. I
don't know. I'm right, I'm in the cars. I'm in
the cars.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
I'll be right. I'll be quite honest with you. I
love women and I love sex. But honestly, you give
me that hummer, that's the hummer I want, right, So.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
I'll take it.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
That is a that is one hundred thousand dollars hummer.
The other one might be a twenty.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Five dollars one. Do you need to'll ever invite us
back to this.
Speaker 4 (28:22):

Speaker 2 (28:22):

Wall, post crab walk, all right, thanks for being here.

that out.
