You're listening to Michigan's number one podcast, powered by DTE Energy, hopefully.
**Drew Lane** (0:09)
Well, it's a great point.
I woke up this morning at about 8 o'clock, and I started watching some YouTube, and I was having trouble, so I took off the Wi-Fi, and I just watched YouTube videos for a couple of hours. Got up, and neither Lila nor I realized I had no power for the whole night.
**SPEAKER_4** (0:30)
What?
**BranDon** (0:31)
No more electricity, sir.
**Drew Lane** (0:34)
We have enough. I was just watching YouTube videos without the Wi-Fi, and I was perfectly happy. The TV was off, which is unusual.
**Trudi Daniels** (0:42)
If you didn't have to do the show, you'd be all right without electricity, which is weird for you.
**Drew Lane** (0:48)
I would have actually struck me when I turned on the bathroom light. It didn't turn on. I was like, oh, I need a new light bulb, I guess. Then there was the...
**Jim Bentley** (0:57)
You have to call Tan Rob for that.
**Drew Lane** (0:59)
Then there was the... Yeah, exactly. Then there was the clock over the stove that was not on at all. And then that was a pretty good tip off that there was no power. And so I texted Brandon and Trudi. I sprung into action immediately.
Texted Brandon and Trudi, and 10 minutes later I had power. Oh, I missed the whole outage. I slept through it and I YouTubeed through it. No problem. I saw some great videos, too.
**Trudi Daniels** (1:21)
You didn't notice the lack of air conditioning? It would have been the first thing that hit me.
**Drew Lane** (1:24)
Temperature was 72
**Trudi Daniels** (1:26)
No way, really?
**Drew Lane** (1:27)
Yeah, by the time it went back on, so never really was a factor.
**Trudi Daniels** (1:30)
Wow.
**Drew Lane** (1:31)
I know, I thought I shouldn't be telling people this. They're just gonna think I'm dumb or I'm weird.
**Trudi Daniels** (1:36)
Well, no, you're just kind of a survivor.
**Drew Lane** (1:38)
I just, all I needed was my YouTube. That was all I needed for the first two hours of the day, okay, and Lila didn't notice.
**Trudi Daniels** (1:45)
The microwave didn't work, you couldn't do your coffee.
**Drew Lane** (1:47)
That's true, I usually would get up and get coffee at some point, but I did not. So anyway, yeah, so it was good power outages as far as power outages go.
I was just about to tweet at DTE because they said it was coming on at 1030, I think it was like 950 when I realized that there was no power. And they actually, the power came on earlier than 1030, so.
**Trudi Daniels** (2:09)
Wow, they beat their deadline.
**Drew Lane** (2:11)
Props to DTE. Best power outage ever, possibly.
**SPEAKER_8** (2:15)
Good job, DTE.
**Marc Fellhauer** (2:16)
Well, all this crazy weather today, I get it.
**Drew Lane** (2:20)
Yeah, except it was crazy last night, and it wasn't so crazy in the middle of the night.
**BranDon** (2:26)
Oh my God, a perfect storm.
**Trudi Daniels** (2:29)
100% humidity.
**Drew Lane** (2:30)
Was there a reason? Did other people lose power? Am I the only one?
**Marc Fellhauer** (2:33)
I don't know. I thought it was a beautiful day. I didn't see any rain. I didn't see any thunderstorms.
**Drew Lane** (2:37)
It rained hard last night. I mean, it was raining hard.
**Marc Fellhauer** (2:39)
Yeah, but when you lost power, what was going on then?
**Drew Lane** (2:42)
Nothing, as far as I know. And Lila didn't say anything.
**Trudi Daniels** (2:45)
What could have washed her?
**SPEAKER_10** (2:46)
She didn't notice.
**Trudi Daniels** (2:49)
Come on, Lila. She looked up at me like, what?
**Drew Lane** (2:53)
No, I mean, but how many outages have we had like that where there's literally nothing going on? It's funny. I just stopped saying this because Y keeps saying the same thing over and over, but I've lived in other states. I've never had power outages like this in my life. And I will say this, DT, we haven't had as many in the last couple years, have we?
**Jim Bentley** (3:10)
No, right.
**Marc Fellhauer** (3:10)
We've had some good luck lately.
**Trudi Daniels** (3:12)
Seems like it's true, they are making progress.
**Jim Bentley** (3:14)
Well, we're this summer now.
**Drew Lane** (3:17)
Yeah, who knows?
**Marc Fellhauer** (3:18)
DTE reached out about today's power outage. They did.
**BranDon** (3:20)
To all those affected, I want to say, we are deeply sorry. We're sorry.
**Marc Fellhauer** (3:28)
See?
**BranDon** (3:30)
We're sorry.
**Marc Fellhauer** (3:31)
They're sorry.
**Drew Lane** (3:32)
