We're joined in this episode by a metro-Detroit area mother of six and grandmother of 18, Carol Nihem. Those close to her call her sitto (which loosely translates to grandma from Lebanese). The one thing we discovered, however, is that she must be referred to as a sports fan.
With five brothers, Carol's love of sport developed early on and still burns brightly today ... though she's not as dye-in-the-wool as she used to be.
She counts among her favorites football (college and pro) and tennis, though we learn she's not particularly fond of Novak Djokovic.
Along the way we learn of Carol's visits to the now demolished Olympia Stadium, Tiger Stadium, and Chicago Stadium, not to mention some brushes with past Detroit athletes Mickey Lolich and Bob Probert.
