Me finally finding Stephen A’s podcast just to hear him cook Whitlock.
For the record, Whitlock represents everything I hate about sports media - no talent as a journalist, just a former player with a mic. You know you suck when the Internet is rooting for Stephen A.
I did my own version of Run the Jewels.
Get it? Because I proposed? And it seems like a robbery because clearly
@Lil_Larso
deserves so much better than me?
You get it. You guys are smart.
Hey friends. Been updating mostly FB. Home and resting after surgery at
@MercyHealthWM
. Had a hernia repaired as well as 75% of my stomach removed. In pain but in good spirits. If I do everything right, back on air in a week. Fingers crossed.
“Why are they booing STAFFORD?”
He’s the fucking quarterback on the opposite team in our first home playoff game EVER at Ford Field. I’d boo my Mother if she was the Rams QB tonight. They SHOULD be booing.
Not sorry Mom.
(Love you tho.)
Oh your nightclub is reopening? Cool, my kids been out of school for 2 weeks and I moved my wedding to a backyard with 20 people but glad you can dry hump Becky over there to a Justin Bieber remix.
Today I get to marry the most amazing woman I’ve ever known. She’s brilliant and gorgeous and patient and kind. And today she’s gonna be my wife.

Me finding out someone made a Twitter account making fun of me being fat after weighing in down 52 lbs this week...
(I'm posting this because thanks to the love and support of amazing people around me? I don't care about some loser who made an account at 4am)

15 year old and 1 year old. Neither one can tell me what they want, they both prefer 1 word sentences and they’re both eating me out of house and home.
Wait.
Are....
Are people actually out here defending the defunding of the Special Olympics?
I thought we all agreed on the Special Olympics are great? Like as a society, we had an understanding on this one?
Come on gang. Let's be better here.
Pictures of the ceremony coming in a bit, but wanted to make sure to show that the kicks made it to the wedding!!! Big love to
@MThorpXXi
for the unbelievable gift and effort to get them. Love and sneakers baby.
Unpopular opinion(?): If you can get the vaccine and you want to, do it. Don’t wait thinking “Oh so and so deserves it before me!” Maybe they do! But you not getting it doesn’t help them get it faster. You getting it does help them stay safe because now you’re safe!
#DearMeTenYearsAgo
You're gonna be ok.
Isaac is gonna turn out amazing.
You're gonna get your name on a show.
You're gonna make amazing friends you haven't met yet.
And you already met the right girl, it's just gonna take you 10 years to figure it out. Dummy.
Hi.
The president tweeting out names of journalists for his minions to violently harass and target is not normal and not ok. It needs to stop
@Twitter

Thanks.
Love,

Today:
- Got keys to the new house
- Enjoyed a beautiful sunset with a beautiful human being
- Found out I've lost 69 lbs
- Gave my dude a big hug
- Offered advice to a friend
- Played Mario Kart drops with

until Jim went nuts
Yeah. Twenty Mineteen. I'm here.
Ok.
So. This is about Jim. This is about a guy who used to be a kid who became my friend and my brother. We won on the way in and we won on the way out. We did it the way we wanted to. And the way Jim wanted to.
Which often meant more work than I wanted to. 1/???
Hey guys, I hate this.
I was let go by ESPN 96.1. Cuts within the company. It’s been an incredible journey and I’m so grateful for all of your support. This community means so much to me!
I grew so much these last 5 years in West Michigan. Thank you!
We’ll stay in touch
Just spent about an hour having an in depth conversation with my 10 year old about equality, human rights, sharing your feelings and taking care of your mind and your body while caring for others.
And he was just...here for it.
The next generation is gonna be ok you guys.
Day 1 of diet.
I must establish dominance over donuts.
Literally, there were free donuts at work earlier and I had 3 donuts left over at home. They're staring at me.
And I will beat them.
I AM BETTER THAN YOU DONUTS.

@meijer
Thank you. This is a one of a kind day for our listeners and for my son. I am blown away. You have my gratitude. And my grocery budget.
Thank you.
4 years ago to today. If you I went the bariatric surgery route to get here if you didn’t know my story. But I did the work. I do the work. And I feel amazing. 4 years and over 200 lbs later.
"I'm out here standing up for the rights of my fellow Michiganders"
You mean the ones in the ambulance that couldn't get through to the hospital because of your protest of (checks notes) doing what the rest of the country is doing?
Lions have to reBUILD more than just a team. They have a reputation that’s totaled as well. Doing what Stafford asks is a great step towards fixing that rep. Next, let Calvin sell weed at Ford Field.
In closing? I’ll be heavily hyping 2 of my favorite humans whatever they do next.
(Oh also I got fired technically today too so there is that nugget dumped at the end because I was mostly gone already anyways but now all gone) 7/fin

@TeenTitansMovie
I mean, I get it. But this new one is a lot of fun, my kid digs it and it's gotten him into more superhero stuff overall so I'm hype because the little dude will be hype.
Yesterday: Walked 3 miles, stayed under my 1200 calories, went to bed feeling pretty great.
Today: OH GOD WHAT FRESH HELL IS THIS?!?! WHY DOES EVERYWHERE ON MY BODY FEEL PAIN?!?!?
Got a biiiiiiiig doctor's appointment today. Gotta figure some stuff out and get into a healthier Drew. Hopefully this goes well and then on to bigger things.
I'm nervous and excited. I'm nervocited.
Rudy Giuliani’s son Andrew gets $90,700 a year as Sports Liaison for the White House. His job is coordinating professional athletes visiting Trump. His relevant experience? He golfs.
Coaches get fired all the time when the team quits on them.
This was the opposite. Urban Meyer quit on Jacksonville. Those players AND coaches.
Weird. When he didn’t have 18-22 year olds that he could manipulate and bully it didn’t go well for him
So. I don't normally do this. But um. I lost over 200 lbs. And

@DisneyParks
...wanna show a freshly healthy guy a good time? ;)
Shout out to anyone who still follows me btw. The content is all over the place but ya know, that’s the brand. I love sports and smoking weed and being at home with my family. It’s going pretty awesome. Thanks for hanging out even though

Maybe if they didn't call it something so cool like "transfer portal", kids would stop entering it all the time. Call it "Party at

Dream come true
For more than a dozen years I’ve chased this. From listener, to intern, hosting college radio and then afternoons in Grand Rapids, my heat was always set on building a show in Detroit at the ticket
Thanks for all your support. Feb 2024 is right around the corner
2 years of radio with

is like being married for 50 years. There's never any sex, we basically hate each other, we fight all the time but we stay together for the kids. Happy anniversary BAYBAY!
I have had an iPhone for less than 24 hours. My early review (ahem):
How in the actual hell do you people function on this brick posing as technology?!?!?
The Governor of Michigan should give a little, and put out the fire. These are very good people, but they are angry. They want their lives back again, safely! See them, talk to them, make a deal.
Guys I promise I am gonna try and like every nice tweet and reply to every message, I promise I am. You’re all amazing. Thank you.
But also I gotta eat at some point here. :)
AC is broken in the studio. Management's answer?

. Drew, 33, has struggled with weight loss since he was a child. He's found the tool to help him live a healthier life with Mercy Health Bariatrics & is ready for his upcoming surgery.
Isaac got $5 in a card from his great grandma today. He immediately handed it to me. Why?
“I just assume I constantly owe you money?”
Absolutely took it because this is the mindset I want from him heading into those teenage years. 5 bucks is 5 bucks.
Isaac keeps walking upstairs saying “Hey Dad do we have like something going on tomorrow or something?” And then laughing hysterically and walking away because he knows.
He is his father’s son. I’ve never been so proud and so annoyed. Turns 13 next month, I’m screwed.
I miss my kid already.
This is not a negative about his mom or courts, I’m cool with both on this one.
My kid just rules and I miss him whenever he’s not here. Tonight is just worse.
And someday he’ll see this and be like “Ah geez Daaaad” and I want that.
