00:00And I don't know why we have to talk about it on a day that they can clinch the things

00:04I don't understand.

00:05And I do kind of feel this is a topic in itself.

00:09What is the most annoying fan behavior things?

00:16Because I will tell you for one, I mean, I told you I'm annoyed when people are lifelong

00:20Detroiters and then all of a sudden they're like, hey, I'm a Broncos fan because they

00:23like John Elway and they quit on the Lions.

00:26That annoys me.

00:27But the biggest thing that that annoys me from other fans is this kind of crap.

00:33The fandom gatekeeper.

00:35You didn't believe.

00:36So I'm a better fan than you.

00:38You weren't around, you know, three when they lost one hundred and nineteen games.

00:42So I'm a better fan than you.

00:45I must have missed the part where what they give you like a fan card, kind of like a Jersey

00:51Mike's card.

00:52And you go on in and you get it punched.

00:54Oh, you went to so many games.

00:57You're a better fan.

00:58No, it's ridiculous.

01:00But all that's come out and not all, but a lot of what's come out is that.

01:04Yeah.

01:05Look.

01:06When the Tigers in 2003, when they were the worst team in American League history up until

01:11this year.

01:12Right.

01:13And then in 2006, you know, you had the same thing.

01:16Oh, where were you?

01:17I was there and all this.

01:19Nobody cares.

01:20But that means you were kind of stupid.

01:21Let's be honest.

01:22You were kind of stupid.

01:23If you went, you know, three.

01:26What does that mean?

01:27That means you spent your money on a product that was subpar.

01:29Right.

01:30So what does that get you?

01:32Yeah.

01:33I mean, you went to the game.

01:34I guess there were shorter lines.

01:35Right.

01:36You know, there was this story that came out on Wednesday that Tony Paul and Johnny Kane

01:41were talking about that people would go to the beer vendors on Wednesday's game.

01:46They had thirty two thousand fans there.

01:48Do you hear this now?

01:49And a lot of people were just floored that Comerica is cash free.

01:53Oh, yeah.

01:54Yeah.

01:55Yeah.

01:56They've been there.

01:57And so they're like, I can't use cash.

01:59And this beer vendor is like, welcome back.

02:02So like a lot of people are coming back.

02:05And here's the dirty little secret.

02:06Today's going to be sold out.

02:07Tomorrow's going to be sold out.

02:09Sunday's going to be sold out.

02:11You should come.

02:12You should support them because they're giving you a good product now when before they weren't.

02:16Right.

02:17It bothers the hell out of me when people are.

02:20This city is not a good sports town because of nobody shows up to see the team play when

02:26the team blows.

02:28Why should people spend their money on?

02:30No, don't watch.

02:31Check out.

02:32I mean, dude, when you care more than the team, that's a problem.

02:37And a lot of the times when the team stinks, you feel like you care more than the team.

02:42Right.

02:43You really don't.

02:44But they do care, even though they suck.

02:48The most annoying fan aspect.

02:49Is it the gatekeeper?

02:50Yeah, I think it's the one who it's kind of the same thing that people would accuse you

02:54of being a bandwagon.

02:55Yeah.

02:56I don't jump on board.

02:57Who cares?

02:58How does it affect you?

03:00It's weird.

03:01I don't get it because I guess and everything's got to be a urinating match.

03:06So I guess when you're talking about fans, you got to talk about like, I'm a bigger fan

03:12than you.

03:13Huh?

03:14Hey, hey.

03:15Did you see 2003?

03:16Did you see Roger Clemens?

03:17He was going for his 300th win.

03:19Tigers beat him in 19 innings.

03:21Did you stay the whole game?

03:22No.
