It's time for more Mojo. Mojo in the Morning.

I would venture to say that today's show might be one of the most fun because everybody is here in studio with us today. And it's your birthday Well it's not My birthday is on Sunday And I'm telling you every time you say that I look at Mike and he's got a grown Look on his face He's got a scowl on his face

Poor guy By the end of the show can we do the good birthday song for him

I'm with it The good birthday song You guys understand how busy The city of Detroit Over the last like month or next month is going to be, between what they have last week. They had guys in goofy-looking cars driving around in the city. Is that the Grand Prix?

Grand Prix movement.

I've never been – first off, let me say this. I've never been to a car race. Is a car race like going to horse racing where you just sit there and you're like, when is this thing going to end? I don't think so. No? I think the speed, the power, the sounds. Isn't that great? I would like to go, and usually I just root for car crashes and stuff like that. Isn't that kind of what you want? Yeah, it's kind of like.

He wants the excitement.

You want to see the craziness of a car crash or something.

I hope everybody's okay. Exactly. Right.

Well, I want to watch him roll. So we had, you're right, movement first, then that Grand Prix. We got Taylor Swift tonight. And then I think we got in between there, oh, the Rocket Mortgage Classic. Did you guys know that last year was one of the most exciting of the Rocket Mortgage Classic golf tournaments? What's that guy, Tony Finau? Is that the guy? I watched the golf, gosh, it was on, I think, Netflix, where you could watch them follow a bunch of golfers all around. and the one on Tony Finau was right here at the Rocket Mortgage Classic. I'm going to bring somebody on that knows more than what I know. He is the chief marketing officer for Rocket Mortgage. The CMO, Casey Herbis is his name. Casey, welcome to the show.

Welcome.

The Rocket Mortgage Classic is going on June 27th through July the 2nd at Detroit Golf Club. This was Dan's big thing. Dan wanted to bring a professional golf tournament, but not to Oakland Hills and Bloomfield Hills. He wanted to bring it to the city of Detroit and actually have it in the city. And boy, his dream came true. And how many years now has this been?

Well, listen, thanks so much for having me here today. And the excitement is awesome here in the room. And this is our fifth year of the Rocket Mortgage Classic. And you're exactly right. I mean, it was Dan Gilbert's vision to bring a PGA Tour event to the city of Detroit. There's 40-some-odd PGA Tour events, and there are only two that are in a city, Atlanta and Detroit. The rest of them are what? Like in the outskirts or suburbs and stuff? They're all at a TPC or somewhat out in the suburbs. And that's one of the biggest things and biggest pieces of feedback we get from our guests, right? Golfers, agents, families. They don't get a chance to go to a city and experience a city. And for those of you that have been, I mean, it is electric. Everyone's staying down.

the guys you know the players are staying downtown at the chinoa the casinos whatever it might be every restaurant is packed and they just love being part of the city and feeling the fabric of it and seeing all the greatness that's happening in downtown detroit starting with a lot of those things that you talked about between the grand prix movement you know what's happening out of the ballparks and you know certainly what's happening i just found out that there's a

tigers game tonight with this yeah 610 traffic may be bad it just might be so casey am i right on this the Tony Finau thing I don't know what the name of the thing was but I watched it with my son my son's a huge golf fanatic Tony Finau was featured on that special full swing full swing it was amazing if you guys haven't watched it you're not a golf Shannon I know you're not you know necessarily a golf fan other although you do think golfers are hot don't you truth it goes it shows their behind the scenes stuff of what these guys go through in this guy that won it last year is like this family guy very sweet you couldn't ask for like a nicer guy to win and honestly i started getting the feeling that people on the pga root against these guys because all the rest of them are all bad boys right aren't they all kind of a little bit yeah

listen you know they're golf they all look good in their shorts and pants uh you know all fit fit and you know a guy like tony fina who was our champion in last year's rocket mortars classic you're exactly right i mean that full swing which was episode six by the way that featured the Rocket Mortgage Classic. Oh, it's all Detroit. He is, he is who he is. He is a great family guy, great pillar in the community. We just had him, uh, you know, at our media day this past week and all those guys that play on the PGA tour, um, you know, they are professionals and they have an amazing athletic ability. Um, but they also help us do a lot of great, a lot of great work in the community and continuing to build the legacy that we want to have. Not only, you know, putting on a great event in the city of Detroit, but helping our community and bridging the digital divide. How much money did he make?

What was the exact check that you guys had to write to him as a winner of this thing?

Yeah, so before taxes, it was $1.2, $1.3 million.

And it was so cool to see this guy who was like a family guy who just had babies. He's got like a million kids.

He's got five kids, and they travel with him. And that great scene in Full Swing is the plane touched down, and he lives in Utah late in the middle of the night. And he said he had over 75 family members greet. He walks off the plane, probably a PJ. and he's holding the Rock and Mortgage Classic trophy in his hand and he has Polynesian descent background and family and everyone's dressed in the traditional garb and he comes off and he starts dancing with the trophy. Oh, so cool. What a cool moment. That's like a social media dream come true. It's not staged. It's not scripted. It's just an authentic moment of a guy celebrating a great accomplishment with his friends and family that have supported him through ups and downs in his career. And he's a guy that was always finishing second. And he was starting to get that reputation of, like, good guys finish second. They don't always finish first. And he won the week before, 3M. He could have really quite honestly canceled on us, but he was committed to coming to Detroit. Guys don't win back-to-back on the PGA Tour. It's so emotionally and physically draining. He went back-to-back, and he told us the other day, he goes, really, the win in Detroit, you know, put me on another path. It propelled him to be one of the best golfers around.

And so I'm reading here, it says that you got a bunch of good golfers that are coming this year. What names do we have on the list?

Well, we talked about Tony Finau. We got Ricky Fowler, Colin Markawa, who's a major champion. And we just announced two days ago, world number 15, been PGA Tour player of the year, who's won majors, Justin Thomas. Oh, my God.

My son, by the way. So my son bought the putter that Justin Thomas uses. And he's a high school golfer. and he had his best round of golf finish first in his regionals on his team because of that putter, he says.

Well, I'll tell you what. You and I, we'll talk to JT, and we'll give him full credit for your son's low round. Oh, my God. You make me look like a starter. We'll give you a selfie with him to make your son jealous.

So they raise a bunch of money, like Casey was mentioning, raise a bunch of money for the kids in the city of Detroit and then for, obviously, the residents of the city of Detroit. The whole digital divide thing is a true deal. I mean, the fact that, you know, just a matter of a couple of years ago before the Rocket Mortgage Classic really was putting a ton of money towards this. I mean, you go in the city of Detroit, you couldn't get online anywhere, right?

I mean, it was, I'll tell you what, when the pandemic happened, the issue of having digital access was there. And then when our school children went from schools to being home, it shined that spotlight on the fact that over 60% of Detroit residents in 2020 didn't have access to the Internet. right it was already there but when school kids went home and they didn't have hardware of access and you think about also uh people that were in job searches right and and then the world that we live in now today of telemedicine five years ago you wouldn't even you know tell them i don't even know what that is now it's so commonplace and think about how that affects everyone from five to 85 and not having access to the internet and we're really proud that we saw that as an opportunity to use

the Rocket Mortgage Classic as a platform to help address the digital divide. And we're really proud through a lot of the work that we've done, not only the Rocket Mortgage Classic, but through all the other work with Rocket Companies and the Giving Fund and Dan's leadership. It's gone from 40 to 70% inclusivity. So 70% of our Detroit residents now have that access to internet hardware, digital literacy, but there's still a long ways to go. A lot has been done, but we've got a long way to go. And the Rocket Mortgage Classic is that platform to help. Your next

objective is waterford because we need we need a little bit of help out there too okay we'll add that we'll help the digital divide out by where i live but real quick i wanted to mention this rocket mortgage classic.com if you want to get tickets it's worth going to i uh will tell you that the thing is fun it's you know i know that they have that phoenix open or whatever it is the waste management open times yeah i think that this thing maybe not that over the top as far as people getting crazy but people have fun people go down and buy tickets to go to this thing shannon i know you always look for a good place just to get drunk right

this is a great time we've ordered up a bunch of additional high noons are you a high noon girl i do i do love pineapple or mango i'll make sure we order up and they they have the also the pro

am too which is going to happen before right so everything takes takes place the 27th through the second when's the pro-am is the pro-am the it's on wednesday the 20 uh the 28th but the day

before the 27th and 28th um is our detroit community days free for everybody so great opportunity to bring kids and family in and on the 27th we also do our area 313 classic and so that's uh we have a bunch of players like ricky colin tony and then we have celebrities right you know barry calvin izzo c web dylan larkin and oh by the way uh kev knows the miz right we call them We've got the Miz from WWE because, oh, by the way, SummerSlam is going to be here in a month. And so he's going to be here promoting that. Oh, cool. That's pretty.

Do wrestlers golf? Are they into it?

Miz is good. Really? Yeah. He's pumped.

Okay. So I got invited by my very good friend, Craig Myers, over here. Craig is in the financial world. Look at that suit. I mean, come on.

That's a financial guy suit. I'm going to tell you.

He invited me to play in the Pro-Am because you're one of the sponsors? Or what do you do? You buy in? I just bought into the Pro-Am. You bought into the Pro-Am. So he asked me if I would golf with him. Is that the dumbest thing you could ever? Would you trust this guy to manage your money if he's inviting me to go? He's got good hair.

He's got good hair. I always put my money with people with good hair.

But come here real quick. Let me explain real quick what he's doing. So he always donates. He's donated tens of thousands of dollars to Breaking and Entering Christmas Wish over the years. So he said he's not going to just write me a check this year.

He's making me earn it because you said you're going to pay me for $1,000 for every par, $2,000 for every verdict.

I don't know what that means I am a 23 and a half

Handicap Your money is safe

Your financial guy's money is safe Casey

I'm helping feed families With breaking and entering Christmas wish

No I just hope he doesn't squirt on anyone

Wait hold on a second You can't say that on the radio Listen I promise you this I am going to come ready to play. I'm having – I can't wait. I'm getting some training, some special training. I'm going to try to find somebody that knows golf. Does anybody know anybody that knows golf?

No, but I'm so interested in your outfit.

I already have it. I'm sponsored by – what's the Detroit company? Grayson. I, by the way, have my Grayson shirt from last year. I went down there to buy that shirt when I saw everybody wearing it, though. The 313. 313. Do they do a special shirt again?

They are, yeah. Charlie Schaefer, and he's from Detroit, and the founder of Grayson. I just was with him the other day at the Grand Prix, and they got a bunch of really cool three-on-three gear they're going to be rolling out during the Rocket Mortgage Classic.

So I will tell you that if you really want to have fun, if you want to see some really cool golf, and if you just want to go out and help out great causes, the Rocket Mortgage Classic, the 27th through the 2nd, go to RocketMortgageClassic.com for anything that we talked about today. I also neglected to mention it. By the way, it's Pride all this weekend. Matter of fact, Megan is going to be out at Pride, right, Megan?

Yeah, I am. I'm actually going to be out there with Sean Stryff. It's in downtown.

Yes.

I'm so glad you prepped me for this. Thank you so much.

No, that's okay. We'll talk about it in a second. I'll tell you exactly where Megan's going to be. But I neglected to mention that, which this is Pride Month, but it also is such a big deal here for the Mojo in the Morning Show. But that's another big event that's going on. There's so much stuff in this city.

So much stuff.

I remember when Detroit, you only went down for a Red Wings game, and honestly you raced into town and you raced out of town. That's how people acted back in the day. Now you obviously live in the city of Detroit but then you see events and you're right that are taking place in the city of Detroit. Forget the idea of having everything in the suburbs. Casey, thank you. We appreciate you so much.
