Malcolm Harris (0:30)

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to a Wednesday edition of What The Truck?!. I'm your host, Malcolm Harris, joined by my partner in crime. You know what time it is? It's Mr. Michael Vincent. Mike, what is up, my brother?

Michael Vincent (0:44)

Ah, man, I am just, I'm ready for this one, man. It's been way too long, my brother.

Malcolm Harris (0:49)

What's up? It's been way too long. It's so good to see you. I texted you this morning early because officially going to see you in a couple of days in Dallas, man. I'm excited. We're going to have to do something out there, something fun.

Michael Vincent (1:03)

We can do something. Yeah, we're going to do something, aren't we? We're going to do What The Truck from 146 Media Studios here in Fort Worth.

Malcolm Harris (1:12)

That's right.

Michael Vincent (1:13)

What The Truck West. What The Truck West.

Malcolm Harris (1:18)

What's up, brother? How was Labor Day, man?

Michael Vincent (1:22)

It was fantastic, dude. It was three days and one second long.

We tagged an extra second on that weekend.

Malcolm Harris (1:32)

Did you watch your Ohio State Buckeyes? Did you watch any good football? I mean, you did smoke a brisket. What did we do?

Michael Vincent (1:42)

I watched 60 minutes of good football. 60 minutes and one second of good football. 60 minutes of good football and then one second of bad football. On Saturday night, that whole...

You know what I'm referring to, bro?

Malcolm Harris (1:55)

Oh, I was gonna say, that's the email from North?

Michael Vincent (1:57)

The clock was at zero zero. The clock was at zero zero. You can watch it all day long. There is no secret clock. It's complete bullshit. When Kirk Heard Street and Reese Davis and everybody else who's been covering football for 30 years goes, what secret clock? We've never heard of any secret clock.

I love it. Well, we have a secret clock here in Michigan that we use in case we're losing.

Malcolm Harris (2:24)

Well, the AP voters were not nice. David Paschal here in Chattanooga.

Michael Vincent (2:29)

Nor should they be.

Guy Yehiav (2:30)

Holy crap.

Malcolm Harris (2:32)

He literally left Michigan off his ballot entirely. Rightfully so. Michigan does not deserve to be. Yeah. So I knew we were going to talk about it.

Michael Vincent (2:41)

The investigation has to move on. They have to find out what the hell is going on and make this right. Otherwise, every call that goes any Big 10 team's way the rest of the season is to be called into question because Michigan cheats. And that's all there is to it. You know what I'm saying? And then how ridiculous they are that the student body storms the field after beating Western Michigan by a point.

Yeah.

Malcolm Harris (3:07)

I thought that was excessive.

Michael Vincent (3:08)

You know what I mean? They should have torn down the goalposts and beat Kyle Winningham's ass until he left Michigan. That's what they should have.

Malcolm Harris (3:16)

They say, we won!

Carl Rundell (3:18)

What a great victory!

Michael Vincent (3:20)

Holy crap.

Malcolm Harris (3:22)

It was crazy. It was crazy.

Guy Yehiav (3:24)

Yeah.

Malcolm Harris (3:25)

I loved it.

Michael Vincent (3:26)

Yeah.

Malcolm Harris (3:26)

Likewise. There's been some crazy stuff happening since we've been away. We're going to get all into it. Let's look on deck and see who we're talking to. And then, of course, we got to get to the headlines. Pay the bills. You guys know how this thing goes. Pay the bills. We got three total guests today, all right? Leading off for us are going to be two guests together, all right? So the first one is going to be Keith Miao. He is the CEO at Birdstop, all right? So with Keith, he's joining to talk to us about one of the biggest issues in the industry, truck parking, all right? So we're going to talk with him. And then also Carl Rundell. He is the president and CEO of Truck Specialized Parking Services. He's going to follow up on that same conversation. So TSPS is deploying Birdstop's tech around freight routes, all right? This is feeding Detroit and the U.S.-Canada border at Windsor. So he's going to break down what they're learning into putting this into a real operating environment. I'm excited about that conversation. And then he was supposed to be on the show a few weeks ago. He had to go to Europe, but he was like, Malcolm, I'm going to double back, all right? So Guy Yehiav, he's going to be on the show. He's the president of SmartSense, all right? We're going to talk all about cargo theft. So I'm super excited about this one. Of course, things are grabbing headlines left and right that we're going to talk about.
