Rhonda good morning to you both and of
course Happy Thanksgiving as well yeah
thank you for yeah we've grown by one we
have our parade Grand Marshal with us
well thank you
sportscaster Jim Nantz we just talked
about the game you're gonna be calling
it a little bit later yes it's it's what
a day I get to do the parade and and
just love a good parade and there's
nothing like this that's got the game
behind it's gonna be spectacular let's
let our viewers know a little bit more
about you and your connection to Detroit
other than the football side of things
that you've been coming here for years
to call the games every other year is
longer than you've been on the planet
why friendless but I'm a year I'm an old
guy you're a young guy I've been here
for 34 years on and off am i right since
I was born that's what I see there so
I've been here for all sorts of things
and I've enjoyed every one of them this
is going to be the best day of all
though so thank you Detroit thank you so
much I was surprised to learn that you'd
come to the parade I mean I know you
covered the games but to know that you
really have a special place in your
heart for our parade - and your kids
your wife all of you who've been
enjoying it and they're all gonna be in
the parade and the car waving and
they're so excited about it's hard to
get them to go to sleep last night the
excitement hey we want you to be our
grand marshal I said you got the right
guy and sure this actually was almost
two years ago the last time we were here
for the football game we do the Lions
game every other year Dallas those other
years yes so I've noted been on since
2016 I've kind of always had in the back
of my mind then I woke up this morning
here we are let's talk a little bit
about predictions for the game a little
bit later and you've got to say the
right answer well you know the Bears are
here in town we met with them last night
and they're watching you guys right now
so I got it I got it be careful what I
say you do is you understand I have to
call this thing right down yes but it
should be for the Lions they've got I
think that a lot of things lineup that
give them a tremendous chance to have a
special Thanksgiving Day but we'll see
do I mean the Lions usually know the
real kind of season we're having they
step it up for Thanksgiving
I'm Jim talk a little bit more because
you're you were a busy guy not just
football basketball and also the Masters
you a tradition unlike any other unlike
any other see that guy by the way Grant
Hill just went rotating through there
yeah you guys remember grant from all
his day is officially now and there's my
neighbor out in California mr. Eastwood
who's got a new movie coming out but
nowhere into the wine business Rhonda
thank you for being at Joe Muir the
other night what an event they threw we
had a wine-tasting dinner as my wife
Courtney by the way she's going to be in
the parade and we love we love the
diversity of covering all these
different sports and having a little
business on the side too I think it's
time that we actually mentioned because
you're very modest the calling is a
wonderful line of California wines from
Pinot Noir to Cabernets and chardonnays
but you just announced here on Monday
during the wine guys got it first a very
special accomplishment which is huge for
any winery wine enthusiast named the
calling Dutton ranch Chardonnay the 15th
ranked wine in the world while 24,000
wines that are submitted 15th in the
world thank you very much thank you it's
you know it's it's it started out as
something that we were going to put a
lot of passion into it we want it to be
great if we're gonna be spending all
this time trying to develop it and now
you know all these years later it's
getting some accolades that we never
even could have imagined well
