My Lord. You know what the worst is? What's the worst? Ran and peed during the song there and I got all of the warmth out of my body. I couldn't even find my thing. Is this Taylor? Okay. Taylor Olsen. What's up, Taylor? We finally get to, we finally meet. Yes, we can. Our lives are complete now. Here, right over here. Come on over here, Taylor. Look at the earmuffs she has on. Oh, my God. Those are our headphones. No, the earmuffs. She does have earmuffs. I'm like, those are, look at the earmuffs. Those are the headphones we gave you. Taylor, find me some warmth, and I'll buy a coffee. Every unsold ticket for the rest of the year from you. Oh, hold on. I've got to turn the microphone on. See, you know what this is? The mic's froze on us here. Hold on a second there. Turn that thing on. I can't do it. You know what it is? I don't have the gloves on that I can actually work my phone. So my phone is... You're shaking too, aren't you? You're a little cold.

Oh, yeah. And you, poor thing, by the way, are wearing high heels, no socks. As soon as you walked in, I'm like, that poor thing. My mom would not be proud of me.

although you're cold weather girl you've lived in this stuff you know what's going on right

oh yeah yeah i think it's best to embrace it is it to be honest there's no other choice there's

no other choice dive in you're in it i'm the worst at this because i first off i love opening day but i don't like to go to opening day i watch it on fan duel sports or whatever i'll you know i'll watch jason benetti and do all that stuff and i'll sit in a bar and i'm cool with that and all my dopey friends they're all out here and they get drunk and they drink like cold drinks like seriously we talked last hour do you guys even sell the big tall like uh frozen drinks at this

time of the year probably right that's actually a great question i want to say we do oh yeah i want to say we do i mean those youpers i think they're slamming daiquiris in 30 degree weather actually

you're right and you know what they just got done with some of the worst weather this past week so So they're, like, yelling at us if they're listening to us on the iHeartRadio app right now. So, Taylor, good things going on for Tigers. Obviously, you guys ended last season. Look at a smile on your face from last season, too, right? Was that as big a surprise to you as it was to the fans?

I mean, we had a 0.2% chance of making the postseason in August. And, I mean, it was just a war. It's kind of a flash, honestly, in my memory. But the best flash, obviously, didn't see it coming in August. and then that insane run that we had oh my gosh I mean I think it just gives you all of the juices that like like this is what we sign up for when

we come and work for the tigers this is what the fans like want so the fact that they were able to pull that off is still just incredible to think about we at our stations uh we call it the i

heart scramble where at the last moment bob pitman will come to us and say all right we're doing this and we've got something going on i feel like you guys had to do like the tiger scramble because we did you have to be prepared you're going to be hosting a playoff game you know what i mean So it had to be pretty wild for you guys.

Oh, yeah, and sold-out playoff games. Yeah. Yeah, it was magical, magical run. Still looking back on that, I think we all have that momentum still, like heading into this season, and we feel it. Like we felt it in spring, like feel like we're radiating off the fans too. The fans are really excited. We're seeing that all over social, so that's great.

Well, being on in Toledo and having so many Mud Hen fans that listen to us and then many of the players that are on this team make their way through the ranks. We know more about these players than in years past when a Tigers team would come out on the field and we didn't know what they were going to do, and there was like maybe three veterans or something, or Miguel was on the team. So it's neat to see, and this team has got a future, too. That's the cool part about it.

It does. We are built for the future. Built different. Yeah, we're built different. We're built for the future. Yep, I love that. Thank you.

Well, look, speaking of the future real quick, but also tying the thread to the past, this is Mojo's 25th year in the city of Detroit. And it's also the 25th year that, right? So kind of speak about this year and what we can anticipate celebrating 25 years. Yeah, love that one.

I need new seats like you guys got new seats. Can I have the heated seats for a little bit?

Where are those heated seats? I was sitting in them actually in our home plate club right behind home plate. It was a little chilly earlier and I was sitting in one, I'm not going to lie.

Explain that they're temperature controlled for both the weather like we have now, but later in July it's going to be temperature controlled. Can you explain that?

Yeah, so there's heating and cooling options. Oh, those are fancy. It is incredible. And I was sitting in them and they are plush. Yeah. They look comfortable. They are plush. What do you have to do to get one of those seats?

Spend that money. A lot of money.

Yeah. No, for real. You can buy them. Yeah.

Yeah, you got to be Matt Ishbia. You got to be somebody like it. You got to be.

I love, wait, going back to the 25th anniversary, though, we're really pumped. I mean, it's hard to believe it's been 25 years in this ballpark. But, again, I'm glad you brought up Home Play Club, too, because we're just trying to elevate the ballpark and the fan experience year after year. We saw that we wanted to create more premium spaces, and so that's why we brought that in. really excited for fans to sit in the seats today but we are

they come with something cool though too those people that sit in those seats have an underground club that they get to go to where they get all kinds of premium drinks and food

unlimited yes and we are I love all of these synchronicities but that is that underground area that's completely exclusive and all inclusive is going to be opening the weekend And that we're celebrating the 25th anniversary of Comerica Park. So it all lines up perfectly here. But, yeah, excited to, like, share fan memories and team moments. There's been so much that has happened in these walls.

What's up with this scoreboard thing that literally I want to come here and play a video game on it? Can I play Fortnite on that thing?

Yes. So it looks like they're testing out what looks to be a pitching change. Wow. And it's shaped like a T for the Tigers. I love that. I'm not sure if that was planned. I mean, I don't know.

It's huge. For anybody that's ever been to a game, the normal, you know, Tigers Comerica Park scoreboard is completely different now. It's all video screens. It's beautiful. Literally, they're right up on you. I don't know how a player is able to concentrate on hitting a ball with that thing.

It was a lot of chatter online about the change. But I'm telling y'all, standing here in the ballpark, it is beautiful. You got to come and put your eyes on it.

That's cool. Taylor Olsen, the superstar with the Detroit Tigers.

T.O.

And our connection to maybe sitting in the warm seats in about five minutes there during a commercial break. If you can get us, if you can warm up a couple, like three, four, five.

If you guys want to walk over there. Yeah.

All right.

I know. I want to go there, too.

So, I never, Lester told me this. Lester, we got to use the bullpen bathroom. They have literally a bathroom in the bullpen. And Lester says to me, he goes, be careful. You're going to lose all your heat. I lost all my heat when I went pee just a little bit ago. So thank you for having us out here. We love you guys so much. Thank you, guys.

Thank you. Go Tigers. Yes, go Tigers. We're looking forward to it.

Go Tigers. Come on. Homestand against the White Sox.

They stink. The White Sox stink. Okay, Chicago. We got to do what the Dodgers did to us this homestand. Let's go. You know what I mean? And what we did to the White Sox. Well, what we did to the White Sox last year, it seemed like, all the time. So we're going to give away a pair of tickets in the next, I don't know, like 30 minutes. Because I said between 830 and 9 o'clock. Shannon's going to do the dirty. First, though, I've got tickets right now to see Tina Fey, Amy Kohler.
