WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:01.159
<v Speaker 1>Here's what we do for you.

2
00:00:01.439 --> 00:00:04.599
<v Speaker 2>On Fridays at eight eighteen, we bring you the Founder

3
00:00:04.679 --> 00:00:10.439
<v Speaker 2>six pack. We ask questions outside sounds good, outside of

4
00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:12.640
<v Speaker 2>the realm of sports, just to give you an idea.

5
00:00:12.679 --> 00:00:15.279
<v Speaker 2>And it is the holiday season. It is the Christmas

6
00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:18.199
<v Speaker 2>time of year, so mine is a Christmas theme.

7
00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:23.000
<v Speaker 1>Just so you know. Your favorite Christmas carol or song?

8
00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:24.679
<v Speaker 1>What is it?

9
00:00:25.239 --> 00:00:26.000
<v Speaker 3>That's a great question.

10
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:27.960
<v Speaker 4>A song like that I hear on the radio. I

11
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:31.960
<v Speaker 4>love the baby Please Come Home the Christmas. I don't

12
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:35.520
<v Speaker 4>want to sing, but I love that version. The Darlene

13
00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:37.159
<v Speaker 4>Love version of that song is my favorite.

14
00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:39.880
<v Speaker 2>What about Darlene Love? Okay for me? A little bit

15
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:42.399
<v Speaker 2>off the beaten path. I'm sure not many people know

16
00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:48.520
<v Speaker 2>about it. My favorite Christmas album is Vince Gill's Christmas.

17
00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:50.719
<v Speaker 3>Oh It's excellent. That's a great pick.

18
00:00:50.799 --> 00:00:50.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

19
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:54.560
<v Speaker 2>So there is a song called Till the Season Comes

20
00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:59.000
<v Speaker 2>Around Again. And I'm going to be very honest. I

21
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:03.280
<v Speaker 2>like a good once in a while. I do release

22
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:04.079
<v Speaker 2>the emotions.

23
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:06.480
<v Speaker 1>No, I do. I like to release the emotions.

24
00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:09.599
<v Speaker 2>I can be a very emotional person when it comes

25
00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:12.560
<v Speaker 2>to my family, when it comes to my friends, when

26
00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:15.000
<v Speaker 2>it comes to the people I work with, it can

27
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:18.920
<v Speaker 2>be very emotional. Sometimes I get too emotional. I get it.

28
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:22.599
<v Speaker 2>It's one of my many faults. But that song hits

29
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:25.920
<v Speaker 2>me really hard and I love listening to it. My

30
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:28.640
<v Speaker 2>wife will tell me turn it off because it makes

31
00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:31.920
<v Speaker 2>her emotional. For me, I love it and it makes

32
00:01:31.959 --> 00:01:33.480
<v Speaker 2>me think of the people I have in my life,

33
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:35.319
<v Speaker 2>but the people I don't have in my life. So

34
00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:38.480
<v Speaker 2>it is my favorite Christmas song. Okay, fire away you.

35
00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:41.400
<v Speaker 4>I want to know. I've got one Christmas question for you,

36
00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:43.439
<v Speaker 4>but I'll save it. I want to know from you, Chef.

37
00:01:43.480 --> 00:01:46.400
<v Speaker 4>I know your son Ron's Anti Ghost. He plays guitar,

38
00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:50.879
<v Speaker 4>he sings. Are you a musician in any capacity? And

39
00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:52.040
<v Speaker 4>if you're not, If.

40
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:55.079
<v Speaker 3>You're not, what instrument would you love to be great at?

41
00:01:55.319 --> 00:01:56.959
<v Speaker 1>I would love to be able to play the guitar.

42
00:01:57.280 --> 00:01:59.319
<v Speaker 2>I would like a Who's Deck or Alex Rick or

43
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:04.200
<v Speaker 2>what both both. I don't have a musical bone in

44
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:07.319
<v Speaker 2>my body. To my son's credit, and he's referring to

45
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:10.560
<v Speaker 2>my son Sean, who is that writes the songs and

46
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:12.800
<v Speaker 2>is the lead guitars and singer for a band called

47
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:16.400
<v Speaker 2>Anti Ghost. They started in Grand Rapids actually, and they

48
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:17.879
<v Speaker 2>play a lot of Grand rapid shows.

49
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:20.240
<v Speaker 1>I think they're very good, but it's alternative rock.

50
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:24.520
<v Speaker 2>He's self taught, didn't take one lesson, very impressive.

51
00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:25.960
<v Speaker 1>Has taught himself.

52
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:28.719
<v Speaker 2>So he can play the guitar, the acoustic guitar, the

53
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:32.000
<v Speaker 2>elect guitar, acoustic guitar, the bass guitar, and he can

54
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:35.080
<v Speaker 2>play drums too. He can play all those instruments, and

55
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:38.280
<v Speaker 2>he's taught himself to play them all. And I remember

56
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:39.599
<v Speaker 2>when he was a kid. He would come down. He

57
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:42.000
<v Speaker 2>would in the basement. He would put headphones on and

58
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:44.800
<v Speaker 2>he would take his guitar and play while listening to

59
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:47.479
<v Speaker 2>the music that I grew up on, the music I love.

60
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:49.840
<v Speaker 2>So it's a big influence on him. But I don't

61
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:51.680
<v Speaker 2>have a musical bone in my body. Have you ever

62
00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:52.520
<v Speaker 2>played an instrument?

63
00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:53.479
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? I play bass.

64
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:56.400
<v Speaker 4>Actually, my brother's music, right, that's what you hear underneath here,

65
00:02:56.439 --> 00:02:57.479
<v Speaker 4>that's my brother, Miles Valle.

66
00:02:57.520 --> 00:02:58.240
<v Speaker 3>He's down in the Wow.

67
00:02:58.280 --> 00:02:59.120
<v Speaker 1>It's really good.

68
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:01.919
<v Speaker 4>And he he's the same way chef. He's self taught.

69
00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:04.960
<v Speaker 4>He drums, he plays guitar, he sings all that stuff.

70
00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:08.400
<v Speaker 1>It's really good. I love them. Yeah, you should be

71
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:10.400
<v Speaker 1>proud of him. I really like it.

72
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:13.560
<v Speaker 2>I'll be Honestly, I thought this was like a country

73
00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:15.800
<v Speaker 2>big time country star underneath.

74
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:18.360
<v Speaker 3>Milly drink it to the bottom.

75
00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:20.520
<v Speaker 1>This is really good, really good.

76
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:23.000
<v Speaker 2>Good for you, Okay, and congratulations to him in a

77
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:23.879
<v Speaker 2>happy Holidays to him.

78
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:26.280
<v Speaker 1>All right, here we go. Favorite Christmas tradition.

79
00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:26.879
<v Speaker 4>What is it?

80
00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:27.680
<v Speaker 2>Uh?

81
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:28.120
<v Speaker 3>For me?

82
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:30.840
<v Speaker 4>It's kind of gotten tougher over the years, but it's

83
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:32.319
<v Speaker 4>definitely cutting down the Christmas tree.

84
00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:34.319
<v Speaker 3>We always go as a family. We get a real

85
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:34.919
<v Speaker 3>tree every year.

86
00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:37.919
<v Speaker 4>It's either a Fraser fur or blue spruce, and we

87
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:42.599
<v Speaker 4>have a great time of going to Formattag's Christmas Tree

88
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:44.560
<v Speaker 4>Farm out here on the West Side, and.

89
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:45.800
<v Speaker 3>We just make a whole day out of it. We

90
00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:47.319
<v Speaker 3>make an event out of it. You get hot schalk.

91
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:48.719
<v Speaker 1>Do you decorated that night?

92
00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:49.199
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

93
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:51.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, so you bring it back, you put it

94
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:52.680
<v Speaker 1>up and then you decorate it.

95
00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:53.800
<v Speaker 3>Yes, and we usually stop.

96
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:56.800
<v Speaker 4>We stopped for dinner and drinks afterwards, and we still

97
00:03:56.840 --> 00:03:59.400
<v Speaker 4>got the Christmas tree tied to the roof of the car,

98
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:01.280
<v Speaker 4>and it's great.

99
00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Have you got when do you guys do it? Have

100
00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:03.960
<v Speaker 1>you already done it? Yep?

101
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:06.199
<v Speaker 4>We'd usually do it the weekend, like the Friday after

102
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:07.520
<v Speaker 4>Thanksgiving is what we aim.

103
00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:10.400
<v Speaker 2>For who started that tradition? Your dad, my parents? Yeah,

104
00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:13.479
<v Speaker 2>God love them. Way to go. Uh, that is so neat.

105
00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:16.839
<v Speaker 2>I hope more and more people do that. I'm gonna lie.

106
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:18.959
<v Speaker 2>I'm not gonna lie. We have a fake tree. I

107
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:21.079
<v Speaker 2>mean a lot of people do. We store it away

108
00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:23.279
<v Speaker 2>and we put it back up. Kids are all over

109
00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:25.920
<v Speaker 2>the place. There's no excuse. But we turned to that

110
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:28.839
<v Speaker 2>a while ago. My favorite Christmas tradition, and this is

111
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:33.639
<v Speaker 2>a selfish one, admittedly, I write a letter to every

112
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:37.279
<v Speaker 2>one of my kids every year, a one page letter,

113
00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:38.519
<v Speaker 2>and I put it away.

114
00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:39.040
<v Speaker 1>I've done it.

115
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:43.759
<v Speaker 2>Since they were born and they've never read them. So

116
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:47.720
<v Speaker 2>it'll give them an idea of what was going on

117
00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:51.120
<v Speaker 2>in their life and how I viewed their life or

118
00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:53.079
<v Speaker 2>their year that time.

119
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:54.160
<v Speaker 3>Is awesome.

120
00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:55.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

121
00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:59.839
<v Speaker 2>So every Christmas Eve, everybody goes to bed. I stay up,

122
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:03.879
<v Speaker 2>I put on the Vince gild album and I write

123
00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:07.839
<v Speaker 2>a one page sometimes it's two page letter on how

124
00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:09.600
<v Speaker 2>proud I am or some of the things that I've

125
00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:11.279
<v Speaker 2>noticed that took place in my kids' lives.

126
00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:14.680
<v Speaker 1>That's what we do, and that's what I do.

127
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:16.439
<v Speaker 2>Anyway, And I put it in a folder and it's

128
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:20.839
<v Speaker 2>in a filing cabinet, and when I'm gone, I'll give it.

129
00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:23.720
<v Speaker 2>My kids can take it and read through it and

130
00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:24.920
<v Speaker 2>share it with their children.

131
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:26.560
<v Speaker 1>Maybe I'll change that.

132
00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:29.720
<v Speaker 2>Maybe I might give it to them someday, maybe when

133
00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:32.879
<v Speaker 2>they get married, you know, or maybe when my daughter

134
00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:34.399
<v Speaker 2>graduates from MSU next year.

135
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:36.639
<v Speaker 1>Maybe that's when I'll open it up and give it

136
00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:39.600
<v Speaker 1>to them. We'll see what happens, all right, last question

137
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:40.920
<v Speaker 1>or Okay, you got another?

138
00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:42.079
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I got my second one for you.

139
00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:44.480
<v Speaker 4>I want to know the best Christmas present you ever received,

140
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:46.439
<v Speaker 4>could have been as a kid, could have been as

141
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:47.000
<v Speaker 4>an adult.

142
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:48.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, probably a baseball glove. You know.

143
00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:51.920
<v Speaker 2>When I got a baseball glove, I mean I would

144
00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:55.600
<v Speaker 2>used to sleep with it. I used to wear it

145
00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:59.399
<v Speaker 2>every day. So that or my first football. I used

146
00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:01.279
<v Speaker 2>to take the full ball and walk around the house

147
00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:03.279
<v Speaker 2>and just climb up the football and then flip it,

148
00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:05.959
<v Speaker 2>climb down the football, flip it. And I would do

149
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:07.879
<v Speaker 2>that when I went to school too, I would walk

150
00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:09.759
<v Speaker 2>down the halls and do that constantly.

151
00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:12.399
<v Speaker 1>One of those two is an easy one.

152
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:15.480
<v Speaker 2>On the other hand, as an adult, if I can

153
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:20.519
<v Speaker 2>have two answers here, my family got me a driver.

154
00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:22.680
<v Speaker 1>The tailor made sim two.

155
00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:27.800
<v Speaker 2>That was a great Christmas present, and I'm expecting more

156
00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:28.680
<v Speaker 2>golf gifts this year.

157
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:29.160
<v Speaker 1>How about you.

158
00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:31.360
<v Speaker 3>Let's hope you can hit them straight with that thing.

159
00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:35.040
<v Speaker 4>For me, guaranty there living on the West Side and

160
00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:37.199
<v Speaker 4>growing up on the West Side as a diehard Detroit fan,

161
00:06:37.279 --> 00:06:39.360
<v Speaker 4>going to games in Detroit was always a bit more

162
00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:42.480
<v Speaker 4>of an event. And I remember when I was I

163
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:45.399
<v Speaker 4>believe I was a freshman in high school, or maybe

164
00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:48.360
<v Speaker 4>I was an eighth grade but my parents surprised us

165
00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:50.079
<v Speaker 4>with we knew we were going to the Lions game.

166
00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:52.560
<v Speaker 4>We go to one every year, at least back then

167
00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:54.360
<v Speaker 4>we did. So we were going to one Lions game,

168
00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:56.959
<v Speaker 4>our big Lions game, taking on the Saints, I think

169
00:06:56.959 --> 00:07:00.199
<v Speaker 4>it was, And then randomly we found out that we

170
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:02.519
<v Speaker 4>were going to the Pistons game the night before, and

171
00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:04.079
<v Speaker 4>we were just so excited that we were going to

172
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:05.839
<v Speaker 4>get to go see a Pistons game. We got tickets

173
00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:07.439
<v Speaker 4>to that we were going to do a double whammy

174
00:07:07.480 --> 00:07:11.120
<v Speaker 4>for the weekend. Pistons on Saturday, Lions on Sunday. That

175
00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:14.160
<v Speaker 4>was I just remember being so shocked, so happy, so

176
00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:17.319
<v Speaker 4>enamored and excited to be in the Palace at that time.

177
00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:22.600
<v Speaker 2>And then ford Field. You're easily pleased, all right. Last question.

178
00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:30.439
<v Speaker 2>Favorite Christmas movie for me, it's Christmas Story. We put

179
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:34.000
<v Speaker 2>it on from Christmas morning and it stays on the

180
00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:36.720
<v Speaker 2>TV all day long, twenty four hours of Christmas on

181
00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:40.160
<v Speaker 2>TBSD and t we just let it roll. It's my

182
00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:42.399
<v Speaker 2>favorite Christmas movie because it makes me think of the

183
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:44.560
<v Speaker 2>kids when they were young. Not for me, you know,

184
00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:47.439
<v Speaker 2>per se, but from when my kids were young. And

185
00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:50.759
<v Speaker 2>the secondary question to that would be, do you consider

186
00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:53.800
<v Speaker 2>this is an old bit Diehard? But I have Yeah,

187
00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:55.160
<v Speaker 2>is it a Christmas movie?

188
00:07:56.279 --> 00:08:00.519
<v Speaker 4>That's the age old question. I why not power to

189
00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:02.279
<v Speaker 4>you if you consider it a Christmas movie.

190
00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:02.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't.

191
00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:05.600
<v Speaker 4>I think it's a great movie. I don't consider it

192
00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:08.480
<v Speaker 4>a Christmas movie. My favorite though, quickly you're without a

193
00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:09.920
<v Speaker 4>Santa Claus. I know it's a little bit off.

194
00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:10.800
<v Speaker 1>That's a good one.

195
00:08:10.839 --> 00:08:13.439
<v Speaker 3>But oul Miser and heat Miser, I love that. It's

196
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:14.120
<v Speaker 3>just a lot of fun.

197
00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:15.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

198
00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:17.759
<v Speaker 2>I like Wonderful I like Wonderful Life as well. For

199
00:08:17.959 --> 00:08:21.639
<v Speaker 2>Christmases is underrated, by the way, it's pretty funny die

200
00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:24.680
<v Speaker 2>Hard is if it's a Christmas movie, Why isn't die

201
00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:25.199
<v Speaker 2>Hard too?

202
00:08:25.279 --> 00:08:25.399
<v Speaker 1>Right?

203
00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:27.959
<v Speaker 2>I mean diehard. I don't believe is a Christmas movie.

204
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:29.519
<v Speaker 2>If people want to consider it, I don't hold it

205
00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:32.919
<v Speaker 2>against them. But shoot them up, you know, killing people,

206
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:35.480
<v Speaker 2>hanging people with chains and stuff. I just don't think

207
00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:36.600
<v Speaker 2>that's the Christmas spere
