B W S H D H D

0:14

To Chicago A Good Karma Brands radio

0:16

station. The

0:20

shot over a low. It's

0:22

noticed they shot. The

0:25

shot was I do a Cleveland sports

0:27

fan too and he said to me

0:29

he didn't know who he hates more

0:31

you know the Chicago sports fan or

0:34

the Denver sports fan because of our

0:36

were bigger M J, then the World

0:38

Series. think about how tortured they are.

0:41

couple of the drive there were a

0:43

couple drives bioware against the Browns back

0:45

in the day. when wasn't that wasn't

0:48

there? In earnest binary fumble in there

0:50

was yeah and then the drivers and

0:52

I'm they've been tortured and certain. Ways

0:55

for sure and then Michael did it to them.

0:57

A couple of different types, hit a couple of

0:59

game winning shot and then to tie the game

1:01

in game seven. And. Then end

1:03

up using it after seventy many rain

1:05

delay. Yes, That's. Still the

1:08

most electric thing I've ever been. A

1:10

yes pressure and I was crazy. So

1:12

here's Doug Collins who was the coach.

1:14

He joined us about a month ago.

1:17

I always text God on this

1:19

day. Happy Anniversary because I

1:21

always remember him running around like Jim

1:23

Valve. Ah, now we reminisced with him

1:26

back then I I texted am Happy

1:28

Anniversary thirty five years ago. Today was

1:30

the the anniversary of The Shot and

1:33

this was his story of what happened

1:35

that day. Game Five These weren't seven

1:37

game series in the first round, there

1:40

were five game series. Give you a

1:42

background because if it jordan Nest free

1:44

throws. that last game for the Bulls

1:47

could have ended the series. and four

1:49

games. But. I dug tells you

1:51

have a what happened and why he turns

1:53

it sunday silence will let let me to

1:55

clear up your theory for you to the

1:58

last game of it be that bad. year

2:01

we played Cleveland. They did not play

2:03

three of their starters and they beat

2:05

us. We were only six

2:07

against them going into the

2:10

playoffs. And so I thought

2:12

our preparation was really

2:14

spot on and we

2:16

were ready to go. And so

2:18

we went to Cleveland, we went game

2:20

one, Mark Price doesn't

2:23

play, then they win game two. We

2:25

went game three. Now with

2:27

game four, we got a chance

2:29

to win the game. And Michael

2:32

misses two or four free throws late

2:34

in the game. Brad

2:36

Doherty gets fouled. He makes two free throws,

2:38

send the game and overtime they beat us.

2:40

Now we got to go back there for

2:42

game five. So Saturday

2:44

we're flying to Cleveland

2:47

and that's the day of the

2:49

Kentucky Derby. And so

2:52

we got to the hotel and

2:54

we were checking in and I

2:56

said to somebody, who won the Kentucky Derby today?

2:59

And they said Sunday silence. I

3:02

said, okay. So as we were getting ready to

3:04

check in, I stopped the guys. The guys just

3:06

want to say something to you. The

3:09

Kentucky Derby winner today was

3:11

Sunday silence. That's what

3:13

it's going to be like tomorrow in Cleveland when we

3:15

beat them. And Michael at

3:19

that shot and it

3:21

went Sunday silence in Cleveland.

3:24

But what it meant to me was

3:26

how important

3:28

it was to win, win that

3:30

series to move on. But I

3:32

thought guys that Michael

3:35

shot, I thought that

3:37

was the beginning of the

3:39

Chicago Bulls that was starting to be

3:41

ready to be champions. That's what I

3:43

thought that meant. And we

3:45

took that momentum. We went

3:48

to game one, we beat New York

3:51

and then we won that series in

3:53

game six. And if you remember correctly,

3:55

we were up four And

3:57

late, late in the game, I think maybe under 20.

4:00

The second something along those lines were a

4:02

time out. As. The guys

4:04

were up for whatever. You know, it's

4:06

not know bows, you know just what

4:08

we're in position. We got it through

4:11

possession, lazy or whatever. so. New

4:14

York? Want to play for a talker?

4:17

Those. Up to shoot a shot at

4:19

Patch you Patrick Ewing hip checks of

4:21

digital was and to trent talked or

4:23

he makes the spot or yeah, a

4:26

four point play and now we're tied.

4:28

so I took a timeout. And

4:30

which is a timeout? The who's nine seconds

4:33

to go? Something like that. York had no

4:35

time outs left. And I

4:37

said michael. Don't. Shoot Jump

4:39

Shot. I. Said the referees know

4:41

they just missed that miss. That call,

4:44

drive the ball to the basket

4:46

and put the pressure on him to

4:48

call a foul. He. Did he

4:50

made the two free throws up? We

4:52

went that series would you know to

4:55

play the next? as a reply to

4:57

Detroit and we when the first series

4:59

of that game. Gets. Three to

5:01

that was the most the get the

5:04

ball the Michael get the out the

5:06

weights and game on what up to

5:08

one but sir says the I just

5:10

the when I think about it I

5:12

start get excited because it was such

5:14

a wonderful time And does you know

5:16

this? There's nothing like. This.

5:18

As the city of Chicago, whether

5:20

d hockey or whether be basketball

5:22

is a spring during the playoffs.

5:25

walking up and down Michigan Avenue

5:27

there's no better place to be.

5:29

And we miss that ceiling and

5:31

Carme was talking about it the

5:33

other day and you know as

5:36

he went through the different cities

5:38

that have multiple seems that are

5:40

still alive and a post season

5:42

hockey in the N B A

5:44

so other did ya integrated everything

5:46

including storyteller. he's the. Best stories

5:48

are there is So again today's the

5:51

thirty says anniversary. We're saying like other

5:53

than winning championships like where does this

5:55

one ranking what are your favorites or

5:58

reminisces or was that was. A

6:00

championship or that was a

6:02

series when course a playoff clinching

6:05

series moment doing horrible as

6:07

a valid. Anniversary.

6:09

Green. He was even saying it's one of

6:11

the most historic shots and and be a

6:13

history, it's the one that used to be.

6:15

I'm like the N B N N B

6:18

C. It's introduction. Yeah, And. Jordan

6:20

celebration and like did, says

6:22

everything about that. Was. Outstanding.

6:25

Yes, I mean this. this

6:27

does. Maybe I'm a stickler,

6:29

Just a jackass. This one

6:31

does. You. Know is it does

6:33

register because it was a playoff win and

6:35

not only was it a play off when

6:37

it was a series clinching. Shot

6:39

for a playoff win. So yeah one

6:41

of our theory would to Yesterday was

6:44

Kerry Wood's twenty strikeout game anniversary. Adversely

6:47

worthy. Anniversary worthy yell

6:49

it's worthy of an anniversary. It's one of

6:51

the most dominant had to go on and

6:53

says I'm one of these I'd house. How.

6:56

Many guys around I now somebody somebody breaks

6:58

that. Know I could fly

7:00

high Means and Randy Johnson both did it

7:02

and inclement foods. Weiss Inlets analytically that's Village

7:05

people have said that that is why is

7:07

more dominant than many oh hitters your head

7:09

or whether we had a one hit Earth

7:11

when you record will make their own hitter

7:14

in It was basically Kevin aura down as

7:16

an error tortured and in the aisle grata

7:18

groundball ago when allow her B O think

7:20

you'll probably never see anyone do that again

7:23

because pitches aren't allowed to throw that many

7:25

pitches that right Oh my goodness if you

7:27

include over vase if you it to fifteen.

7:29

Strikeouts. You're out like a hundred pitches and your

7:31

you gotta go cameo Pitches: Did he throw in

7:34

that game? Two. Hundred and forty. I've

7:36

got the A Box score on my wall.

7:38

The I've got the official scorecard on my

7:40

wall from that game although the official or

7:42

car the on the questions December game on

7:44

your wall as well. No I will not

7:47

really dead. Here's my question is will be

7:49

no was covered. The carry would get the

7:51

picture that you haven't had any allow. Died.

7:54

and my guess is the box score back then

7:56

didn't really have pitch counts know i bet it

7:58

did you do some willing to you a

8:01

hundred twenty six pitches. I've got the number here. You want

8:03

to guess what it was? 147. No

8:06

way. Miller? 126. Yeah I think Silvie's pro. I'm

8:08

gonna guess 131. 122. 122. It

8:12

was four pitches off. There

8:15

was a lot of swing and miss. Yeah. Oh

8:17

yeah. When you strike out 20. I know

8:19

I mean but my point is at least 20

8:21

of them probably. But my point is is there

8:24

weren't a whole lot of foul balls either. There

8:26

was a ton of just guys couldn't miss. It

8:28

couldn't hit anything. Jonathan in Fox Lake you're

8:30

on ESPN 1000. What's up Jonathan? Hey

8:33

guys for me it's the blackout

8:35

game. One nothing. Tomy hits the

8:37

home run. Ken Griffey throws his

8:39

cadaier out at the plate. Atmosphere.

8:41

Those pictures are great from

8:44

that game. It's like and I'm

8:46

not even a Sox fan. It's one of

8:48

my favorite Sox games ever. That stadium was

8:50

electric that day. And

8:54

like it reminds me of the Joe

8:56

Kim Noah game. Where even though they

8:58

win the championship that year and it

9:00

wasn't even a series win. It was

9:02

just one of

9:04

those memorable games that you'll

9:06

never ever forget. One

9:09

nothing. Ken Griffey Jr.

9:12

throwing out a run. How old was Griff at that point? Old.

9:14

37. 38. It

9:16

was the Kenny Williams special. Signing

9:19

the guy who he always wanted. I

9:21

don't think he hit much for them. He played

9:24

good defense. John Dank started

9:26

that game. Now the Chris Getts

9:28

special is you you sign a 36

9:31

year old time you fans. And then

9:33

you slip him for a dollar. They're

9:35

passing down from generation to generation. Tony

9:37

and Skokie you're on ESPN 1000. What's

9:39

up Tony? Not much. I'm watching

9:41

you guys on YouTube which I love doing

9:43

now. And uh. Toni. Toni I love your

9:46

Mad Max haircut. Oh

9:48

thank you very much. Is that a Mad

9:50

Max haircut? You're welcome. So I am a

9:52

Detroit fan. I I'm waving

9:54

back. I see a thumbs up. I'm

9:57

a Detroit fan and I remember watching

10:00

that series when I was like in eighth grade,

10:03

hoping that the Bulls would beat those Cavs,

10:06

and then hoping that the Bulls would beat those

10:08

Knicks. So

10:11

I remember my dad smoking a pipe or he

10:13

was sitting in the basement and jumping up when

10:15

he hit that shot over Elo. And

10:18

I think if they ever redo the NBA logo, it

10:20

should be the fist pump that Michael does after hitting

10:22

that shot. Because you just knew you could handle the

10:24

Bulls at that point that you had the Bulls number?

10:29

Well, obviously we didn't, because they took

10:31

us to seven. But

10:36

I thought at the time they would

10:38

be an easier win after going through

10:40

the Celtics for so many years before

10:42

that. Yeah, people don't realize how good

10:44

those Cavs teams were. Like

10:46

I always say that like that's the

10:49

most underrated team the Bulls ever played,

10:52

who are younger. And I always said

10:55

that some of those LeBron teams weren't

10:57

as good as those Cavs teams that

10:59

Michael faced. It's a very big hot

11:01

take, but that was a great

11:04

Cavs team. What did you say earlier? It

11:06

was Larry Nance, it was Brad Doherty. Right.

11:08

It was Hot Rod Williams, Mark Price, who

11:10

was very like a John

11:12

Stockton type player, could hit the jump shot,

11:15

Kevin Elo. Kevin Elo. Yeah,

11:18

Craig Elo, I know you know. It

11:20

was at Nance, right? Yeah, Larry Nance. Hot

11:24

Rod Williams. We got

11:26

a look on the bench to see who else, but it

11:28

was a very good team. They would win like 60 games.

11:31

I bet you like every year they'd win between

11:34

55 and 57 games a year. Who

11:37

was their coach? Benny Wilkins. Benny Wilkins. One

11:39

of the winningest coaches in NBA history. It

11:42

was them, it was the Sixers with

11:44

Barkley, it was the Knicks with Ewing.

11:47

It was a good East. There was some

11:49

good teams back in the day, very physical. They

11:52

had some good skill guys who could shoot it. Lenny's

11:56

still with us, he's 80. Ron, Ron, Ron, Ron,

11:58

Ron. Yeah, I

12:00

forgot how could I forget Harper like and

12:03

Harper was great then too Very

12:06

good defensively like it was

12:08

having some knee issues after

12:10

the Clippers days, but still could score See

12:13

I was a little younger So sometimes because

12:15

Jordan beat the Cavs with a shot later

12:18

on right a couple years later a couple

12:20

years over Carol Wilkin Right so sometimes I

12:22

like make like and Johnny Ray

12:24

first Sunday silence part two or something like

12:27

that with his call It

12:29

was great. I three one two three three two

12:31

three seven seven six Aki's a list coming up

12:33

and Michael Wilbine at 430 It's

12:36

time for Aki's a list

12:39

From the mind of the man

12:41

who understands the four P's of

12:43

wattles world Aki's a

12:46

list The

12:49

top questions and topics floating around

12:51

in Tyler Aki's mind Are these

12:53

really the questions that I was

12:55

called here to answer Aki's a

12:58

list on ESPN? Chicago true

13:00

waddle fashion waddle turns to me

13:02

Tyler and says Chocolate

13:04

makes me feel funny sometimes does

13:06

I think I have a food allergy to chocolate when

13:09

they're not gonna stop Just

13:11

like it just has a

13:14

weird internal reaction What

13:16

are you eating there brownie? It's a brownie

13:18

a Brownie bar

13:20

Cliff bar gotcha gotcha All

13:23

right A little bit of

13:25

cubs here because the bullpen got some

13:27

nuts in it too. Oh, yeah, maybe

13:30

you have a nut allergy Anyway

13:37

the bullpen surrendered six runs

13:39

younger today All

13:41

in one inning and if you look

13:43

at the way that the starters and

13:46

the bullpen have Performed over the since

13:48

the start of May the Cubs starters have gone

13:50

34 And 2 thirds innings

13:52

and allowed just to earn runs They

13:54

Have a point five one ERA The

13:56

bullpen on the other hand has gone

13:58

20 and a third. The name is

14:00

allowed seventeen earned runs as a seven point

14:03

five to he or a this on the

14:05

month of May. So far as the caught

14:07

have have, the Cubs bullpen reached a tipping

14:09

point where you'd be willing to give up

14:11

a little bit more than maybe you'd anticipate

14:14

in order to get a bullpen arm. And

14:16

their, what does that mean like maybe a

14:18

little bit uncomfortable parting with one of your

14:20

prospects. Much.

14:27

Why you build up your farm system isn't

14:30

it? So now that to round up to

14:32

the big leagues theme but also to use

14:34

them to acquire players. Member.

14:36

All the belly aching people were doing

14:39

when you hear what you gotta a

14:41

pretty good starting pitcher and container who

14:43

is a two or three and you

14:46

had to give up to prospects and

14:48

people bellyache for years about that The

14:50

else now you want to maybe give

14:52

up a prospect from bullpen Arm whom

14:55

it may be isn't even like the

14:57

best bullpen arm. Where.

15:02

Do you want give up? One

15:04

of probably know you're gonna have

15:06

you got talent Reds farm system

15:08

you do. Not

15:11

just that, but it's it's not dealt of the

15:13

system. What I'm what can map Nervous: Get me

15:15

these deaths you want middle of a city? Get

15:17

me Bucket A boss employee com where the bullpen.

15:20

Honestly I thought he was one of your bullpen

15:22

arms these days. So. Can

15:25

you par with them? Can impart with him

15:27

that he might get your bullpen Catherine audible.

15:29

Ten Arms. Like

15:33

you're gonna have to. I mean he's definitely

15:35

not stand at the Des Moines The Hilton

15:37

Special Room. He's got the whoa. He's got

15:40

a he could buy a house in Iowa.

15:42

Yeah, I'll take

15:44

on Tasty if you want. Can now

15:46

see like only tasty is untouchable. Know

15:49

the mayor's Omaha, his lawyers someone great

15:51

He ever maybe someone in like V

15:53

eight to twelve range. of

15:55

your pride francis the i think you've i just

15:57

need to tread water and listen paid for it

16:00

might be the solution for the bullpen

16:02

this year because then what because he's

16:04

starting and then it pushes another guy

16:07

into the bullpen you know using him

16:09

in the pen I think by the

16:11

end of the year he could be

16:13

your high-leverage reliever because listen Craig counsel

16:15

especially when he was in Milwaukee he

16:17

brought guys like Corbin Burns and

16:20

Brandon Woodruff along as bullpen arms before

16:22

they became starters the next year I

16:24

think Kate Horton could be the solution

16:26

down the road for the for the

16:29

Cubs as a reliever Ben

16:31

Brown would also fit that mold as well.

16:33

It could be both those guys. Well may

16:35

be already starting with Ben Brown. Yeah

16:39

I'd imagine you guys are a cinch

16:41

to win the World Series now with

16:43

this plan. Or

16:45

you guys go out and trade a prospect and get

16:47

a reliever. This plan is gonna bring you a ring.

16:51

They will do that. They

16:54

are gonna do that. It's just a

16:56

matter of so who's the

16:58

A's closer it's Mason Miller.

17:00

I heard the guys talking

17:02

about that this morning. That's

17:04

gonna take multiple prospects

17:06

to get him. The price is gonna be

17:09

too high. How do you know if he's

17:11

any good? It's the A's. When are they

17:13

ever nursing a lead?

17:15

They're only like two games out of the

17:17

division right now aren't they? Yeah and he's

17:19

in the second year of control. He's not

17:22

being traded by the A's. He's the only

17:24

guy who's recognizable in terms of a player

17:26

that people get excited about. Or if he

17:28

is he's going to take your top two

17:30

prospects or a couple of prospects like that.

17:32

But the way that arm injuries are right

17:35

now. Do you really want to trade for

17:37

a guy who throws 100,

17:39

300, 4 miles an hour? No. I

17:42

would be very scared to do something like that. Especially

17:45

for multiple big-time prospects. Colleen

17:48

Kane had a really good piece in

17:50

the Chicago Tribune earlier today talking about

17:53

going through each position group for the Chicago Bears

17:55

and saying whether they've gotten better stayed the same

17:57

or gotten worse. The only...

18:00

The small group. That. Got

18:02

worse was the defensive line. She

18:04

said everything else was either the

18:06

same or has improved from last

18:08

season. Do you agree that only

18:10

the the defensive line has regressed

18:12

from last season on paper they

18:14

give it to has regressed. It's

18:16

marginally yeah. You're making doc

18:18

ways the only guy me I guess Justin

18:20

Jones they lose just and just as he

18:22

signed the L for habit like I mean

18:25

you've you've got guys. I went over when

18:27

they're probably why she thought that know I'm

18:29

act at it. I mean is this is

18:31

going to if you look at where they

18:33

started last year versus I know Smith going

18:36

with where they finish but mine has swept.

18:38

wasn't on the roster. Went to be amazing

18:40

Not an access point. And.

18:43

The season started. Yes! I

18:46

mean I I say give and

18:48

they're signing somebody else. Yeah, many

18:50

could be noted. Resign and and

18:52

gunfire sir. And a

18:54

yeah I think I think the moral of

18:56

this story is is that. They're.

18:58

Pretty good shape right now. If

19:00

you have to think hard and really kind

19:02

of talk around the conversation to come up

19:05

with a a good solid answer, The new

19:07

Vom. You. You've done some work.

19:14

Mean I I don't think who else or

19:16

the what other position I can't think of

19:18

a different position that where they're not better.

19:22

Real. Quick before we get to Michael

Wilbon the Nhl draft lottery that five

19:27

19:29

21:34

for you know, I'm face down on

21:36

the asphalt having tripped over my own

21:38

luck and so I got caught. I.

21:41

Caught myself. My left hand

21:43

got down to the asphalt

21:45

before I didn't fall. So.

21:47

i didn't take the brunt of a lot

21:50

lot lot worse but it was it provides

21:52

for most of it but i was trying

21:54

to spin or in his athletic as i

21:56

used to be ah and prod the left

21:58

corner of my You know

22:00

sort of eyebrow on the

22:02

asphalt. So did you hop up real quick

22:05

and Sam? Okay. I'm okay. I'm okay to

22:07

Help the funny thing was people were trying to help

22:09

me up. I said no, just let

22:12

me sit here and feel stupid Just

22:16

let me be here and I didn't

22:18

have a concussion I didn't have any pain I didn't

22:20

go to a hospital I had a little bleeding

22:22

but the cut is in the eyebrow So

22:25

you can't even see that But

22:27

it was you know, it was a big fat shiner. I had

22:29

it out of my face,

22:32

you know for the first few days It was certainly

22:34

Monday So it was a

22:36

week ago was the pride a little bit more injured than the

22:38

eye. Oh Much more.

22:40

Yeah much more. Oh the

22:43

embarrassment there was there was But

22:46

some of them are spent trust me. I Couldn't

22:49

believe it because we didn't know what was going

22:51

on at first until I saw you put

22:53

it out on social media I'm like

22:55

why is Wilbond wearing sunglasses? Is this

22:58

like at first? Is this a PTI

23:00

bit? You know

23:02

next day the sunglasses were on and

23:04

I'm like, okay, this isn't a bit

23:06

what's going on with the sunglasses Well,

23:09

if you were able to actually listen to the show and

23:11

that you're a little busy at the time I Know

23:18

Monday a week ago Monday. We started to

23:20

die by saying I tripped over

23:22

my luggage Airport got

23:24

this shiner So

23:27

that's that's that's the deal So no we I

23:29

said we talked about it two or three days

23:31

in a row at the top of

23:33

PTI I did not talk about it on countdown

23:36

But the makeup artists all of them

23:38

are just so extraordinary. So in LA

23:40

at the LA studio My

23:43

goodness, Maddie Marie She

23:46

she makes up I mean she does

23:48

movies. I Mean people do

23:50

movies where they like make beautiful actors

23:52

and actors that look like monsters in

23:55

my case It was just the opposite they can make a

23:57

monster look like me So

23:59

I you know but they're used to it. They were like

24:01

fighting it over. They're like, no, no, let me get it that

24:03

I, I'd love that. Cause they do this

24:05

kind of stuff all the time. They, they, you

24:08

know, have to cover things a lot more serious

24:10

than a black eye. So it was,

24:13

it was, it's been an interesting, an

24:16

interesting learning situation I could do without the

24:18

damn show. Tony, is he a sympathetic co-host

24:20

or did he like to rub it in?

24:25

No, he, you know, we're typical guys. If it's like,

24:27

if it would happen with you guys, you

24:29

would rub it in. You know you would rub it in. Oh yeah. Absolutely.

24:34

Yeah. So we were, before

24:36

we get into the current NBA and

24:38

the Cubs and all that stuff, today

24:40

is the 35 year anniversary. I

24:43

know. I know. Of the

24:45

shot. A couple of layers here. A,

24:48

tell us how important that is in

24:50

the history of the

24:52

Bulls, the dynasty and Michael. And where

24:54

were you that day? Started all of

24:57

it. Started all of it. Okay. Started

24:59

all of it. Now I was at the shot

25:02

against North, against Georgetown. I was, I was covering

25:04

that game, courtside in the Superdome, you

25:07

know, seven years earlier in 82. And,

25:11

but I did not, I was not

25:13

in Cleveland. I was some, I was

25:16

in another NBA playoff series. I don't

25:18

know. I must've been West because

25:20

I took a red eye to Chicago.

25:24

And I got to my parents' home and

25:28

I took a nap or something. I woke up

25:31

right there on the same,

25:33

in the bed in my house, on

25:35

the South side, on Wentworth. And

25:38

I watched it. I watched it.

25:41

I think was done. I

25:44

think we watched it together and, you know,

25:46

screaming, yelling and sued, of course. It's

25:49

the most important thing because you have to

25:51

have, something has to be first. Something

25:54

has to lead the way. Something has to

25:57

kickstart this whole thing and not just. From

26:00

Michael, but the franchise and everybody who was on the

26:02

floor or on the team with him at the time

26:04

and in 89 You

26:07

know, Scottie and Horace were there You

26:10

know Oakley was not

26:12

so that means Bill Cartwright was there and

26:16

if they don't you know, the Bulls had

26:18

blown game four Right, they was supposed

26:20

to win game four at home And

26:23

they blew game four at the stadium. I Remember

26:26

that game. I remember being so angry at that

26:29

me too and they blew that game and I

26:32

watched that game wherever I was in California or

26:34

God knows where and It

26:37

was just like my god. They gave us away. They're

26:39

not gonna get out of the first round again because

26:42

we've they have been swept by They

26:45

they beat they lost for one

26:47

to Milwaukee Michaels rookie year and

26:50

then they lost they got swept by Boston the next two

26:52

years So, you

26:55

know, I mean they hadn't done anything yet And

26:58

this was doing something this launched it because

27:00

they went into the next series They won

27:02

game one against Detroit if I remember correctly

27:05

They won game one against the Pistons and

27:07

they logged they lost four straight after that

27:10

But that that started all of

27:12

it and people don't realize how good Cleveland

27:14

was Ron Harper was on

27:16

the other side, right? Whitmark

27:19

price and Brad Doherty and Larry

27:21

Nance and elo and a team that

27:24

Magic Johnson, I think it pronounced the

27:27

team of the 90s and Jordan

27:30

just took that and killed that

27:32

changed quickly didn't it? Yes. Yeah it

27:35

did To the

27:37

the modern game Mike How

27:39

do you describe or what do you make of what

27:42

not just what Jalen Brunson is doing but

27:44

how he's doing? Oh Oh

27:47

Wow, we've been nice to have him

27:49

follow up After having

27:52

Derek Rose when they have Jalen Brunson

27:56

Chicago's own Another point:

27:58

Did I did I did not? You

28:00

guys get a nice. I got

28:02

crazy. I was looking at the

28:05

two thousand and eighteen draft and

28:07

you realize that the bulls passed

28:09

on say guilt is Alexander somebody

28:11

else and zealand brought into the

28:13

other person can remember. What

28:16

They pass on all of those

28:18

people to drive window. Carter Jr.

28:21

Is just like oh no no no

28:24

no and window Carter's part of an

28:26

ensemble. You obviously we didn't We traded

28:28

him to his boots. And he's

28:30

part of a nice ensemble. in

28:33

Orlando. it's growing and maybe he'll

28:35

grow with it now simply our

28:37

success. But man, You

28:39

you think about Zealand Bronson in

28:42

a bull's uniforms? Zealand Bronson was

28:44

in a bull's uniform with everybody

28:46

else. Remember he was a second

28:49

round pick. The wolves

28:51

good at everybody else they got. If

28:53

they have Zealand brunson with the players, there

28:55

may be the next. To

29:03

a draft picks in the treated for foods

29:05

with. Do believe do

29:07

believe the bulls with the help develop him

29:09

the way that he has developed. He

29:14

had the bulls develops a lot of people's. Army

29:17

go back to So he two goats

29:19

when the bulls develop Jimmy Butler the

29:21

bulls that the bulls development. System

29:24

is not a problem is only

29:26

guess the world I was developed

29:29

is Patrick Murray. And.

29:31

His visit her we was a know. The.

29:38

Bulls that develop the don't look

29:40

legit I yelled oh the bulls

29:42

as it is not look is

29:45

only the bulls have had one.

29:47

Two things go wrong. Catastrophic

29:50

injury. A

29:54

couple of. Bad decisions have

29:56

addressed. That's the deal.

30:00

Jaylen Brunson, look at Jaylen Brunson

30:02

not playing with any All-Stars. You think

30:04

Jaylen Brunson playing with Kobe White

30:06

wouldn't be dynamic? Of course it would.

30:09

You think Jaylen Brunson playing with Kobe White

30:11

and DeMar wouldn't be great? Of course

30:13

it would. The

30:16

problem is though, I mean like I know you're

30:18

putting together a lot like, remember

30:20

Pax is doing the drafting. If Pax

30:23

drafts Jaylen Brunson instead of Wendell

30:26

Carter or something like that, remember,

30:28

do they ever get DeMar DeRose

30:30

and this is a new regime

30:32

that gets DeMar? You know

30:34

what I mean? Fair point. We're putting

30:36

a lot together there. Yeah, but you

30:39

always get the ifs. Even

30:41

if he's playing, you know, yes. But

30:44

they did draft Kobe White. And

30:46

I take that back court in a heartbeat. Of

30:48

course, yeah. So you

30:50

know... I love Jaylen. I love

30:52

Jaylen. Jaylen and Brunson, by the way, for

30:54

people who don't know, we're listening, Jaylen

30:58

Brunson's just a great kid. I

31:01

think kid, he's, I don't know, what? He's

31:04

27. Is he 27? Yeah.

31:06

Jaylen Brunson is just, he's who

31:08

you want being the face of your franchise. He's

31:11

who you want. Someone

31:14

said, I'm trying to think, when they

31:16

drafted the kid, look this

31:18

up for me, Tyler, too, because someone tweeted me

31:21

about they had two first round picks in

31:23

one of those drafts.

31:26

Yes, they drafted Chandler Hutchinson.

31:28

Yeah, Hutchinson. And didn't jab Jaylen Brunson.

31:31

And like what, this is what has

31:33

bothered me about both of Jerry's teams,

31:36

where they don't stop doing work. They

31:38

don't do due diligence, Michael. And let me

31:41

explain you. Do you think that's just Sylvie?

31:43

Well, that's a hard criticism. Listen to this, okay?

31:45

Before you jump on me, listen, and I'll give

31:47

you my case. So Hutchinson

31:50

is a player who they

31:52

promised that they would draft

31:55

six weeks before

31:57

the draft happened. He

32:00

got it down. Okay, now look. When

32:04

the general manager's job opened

32:06

for the White Sox

32:08

job, Jerry Reinsdorf refused

32:11

to even interview anybody for

32:13

his general manager's job. He

32:16

just hired Chris Gatz. He

32:19

did not want to interview anybody

32:21

to even get information about how

32:23

his operation is run. He

32:26

didn't talk to anyone in Tampa, he

32:28

didn't talk to anyone in Houston, he

32:30

didn't talk to anybody with the Dodgers,

32:32

young and up and coming, refused to

32:34

do the due diligence. Same

32:36

thing that happened when he hired Fred Hoiberg.

32:39

Didn't interview anybody, just

32:42

interviewed Hoiberg, no interview

32:45

process. Same

32:47

thing that happened when he hired

32:49

Tim Floyd, got rid of Phil

32:51

Jackson, no interview process. Same

32:54

thing Michael, when he hired Jim Boylan.

32:56

Well I would just say that's bad

32:58

judgment. I don't know if there's no

33:01

content, there's no due diligence. But

33:04

there was due diligence before he

33:06

hired the team that's in place now.

33:08

Let me give you another example. Second

33:11

round pick to start a rebuild.

33:13

I don't know if they're going

33:16

to find anybody. You found Io

33:18

recently, but you're starting a rebuild

33:20

and instead of saying, let's

33:22

do some work and see if we

33:24

can find someone to pick 37, they

33:26

sold the pick for

33:29

cash. Why? Because they

33:31

didn't want to do the work. Jerry

33:34

Reinsdorf's teams don't do

33:36

the due diligence. Well

33:38

listen, if you don't do the due

33:41

diligence it's either one of two things. Because Jerry

33:43

Reinsdorf's teams used to do

33:45

the due diligence, they did it with Tony

33:49

Kukoch. Listen, it's a

33:51

long time ago Michael. Okay but Jerry, my

33:53

point is same guy. Jerry

33:55

Reinsdorf paid whatever

33:57

Jerry Krauss wanted. Chase,

34:00

Tony Kukoch, around the globe. And

34:02

they did it. And they did this

34:04

with the other people successfully for a while,

34:07

like Nocchione, who was part of a real

34:09

good playoff team there for a minute, like

34:11

they did it. They

34:14

did it. Now, is this bad judgment

34:16

or is this lazy?

34:18

I mean, I don't know which one it

34:20

is. Whatever the bottom line is, it ain't

34:23

good. Right. It's not good. But

34:26

man, you

34:30

can't, I mean,

34:32

you can't make these mistakes in

34:36

the modern draft. In a day in which you

34:38

got a salary cap, you got

34:40

all these things working to restrict

34:42

you, you have to

34:44

make great decisions and you got to get

34:46

a little lucky, as we've been talking about.

34:49

I've been underscoring that week after week. You

34:51

have to be able to do that. And

34:54

the Bulls have it. They

34:57

have it, but just, just with

34:59

the draft picks we're talking about, suppose

35:02

they take his G.A. He's

35:05

the first team, all

35:07

NBA player twice now. He's

35:09

going to be first team this year. He's

35:11

going to be either runner up or third in MVP.

35:16

How much do you attribute him? They had access

35:18

to all this. But, but when, when you talk

35:20

to, I know it's an inexact science,

35:22

regardless of sport, but how much of like his

35:24

development and being, if not the best player in

35:27

the league, one of the top two or three

35:29

players in league, how much of that is

35:32

when they had that pick at seven,

35:34

they knew who they were getting and

35:36

then they did an excellent job developing

35:38

him versus just being fortunate. We didn't

35:40

know how good he was. And he

35:42

just blossomed. Well,

35:44

I, that's a great question. A fair

35:46

question, which of course there's no hard

35:48

answer to look, the Clippers gave up on

35:50

SGA and he was six or seven.

35:53

When they gave, they traded him. Paul

35:57

George, and we're going to give you not only. SGA

36:00

with picks. I mean,

36:02

they screwed up. Pick that. Right?

36:05

I mean, SGA just tweeted out that picture

36:07

recently. So

36:09

wow. I mean, this

36:12

is so inexact. The

36:15

teams miss. They miss,

36:17

and they miss so dramatically, right?

36:20

I mean, they miss in ways that

36:23

you just can't afford to. You

36:26

can't afford to miss the way the

36:28

Bulls have recently. The

36:31

guy that built the nuggets and now is

36:33

in charge of the T-Wolves seems to get

36:35

most of it right. Wow. How

36:38

about that, by the way? How about you build both

36:40

those? And the team, look,

36:43

what it shows you is you don't need any

36:45

more of this big three stuff. You

36:47

don't. You don't need that. And here's what

36:49

else you don't need. You don't need

36:52

any more. We've got to finish first,

36:54

second, and third. No, you don't.

36:57

You don't have to do any of that. The

36:59

guys on the floor last night playing

37:01

what I think is the best defense

37:03

I have seen since Johnny Bach and

37:06

the Doberhins with Jordan

37:09

Pippen, Rodman, Harper,

37:11

or Jordan Pippen, Grant, whoever the

37:13

fourth person was. Like,

37:17

that's you don't have to. So there's notion

37:20

that you have to win. No, you don't have to win the lottery.

37:22

You don't. Yeah, you'd like to

37:24

get win by Yama. If you can, it's

37:26

sort of, you know, it's sort of you

37:29

cheat the process a little bit, but

37:31

you don't have to have that. So the

37:35

development portion of this is when you look at

37:37

IO and you say, OK, somebody did

37:39

a pretty good damn good job with IO, the first

37:41

or second pick in the second round. Second

37:44

round. Like, I think 35th or 37, somewhere

37:46

in there. Well, you wish

37:48

they had learned that lesson. Right back

37:50

in six years earlier. Of course. J.

37:53

Lynn Brunson, you know, another huge,

37:56

you know, Chicago playing the position

37:59

and it would change. of fortunes. We'd be talking

38:01

about the Bulls in a completely different light

38:03

there because Jalen Brunson is made. He's

38:06

so developed. Yes, but he's made

38:08

and how happy do you think

38:10

tips? What a fit, right? I

38:12

mean, what a fit for tips

38:14

to have Jalen Brunson and

38:16

I, you know, I look at them and

38:19

I just wonder, are they going to challenge

38:21

the Celtics? They're going to

38:23

win this series of the Pacers. The Pacers had

38:25

every chance to win last night. They got hosed.

38:28

They got hosed. Those,

38:30

those calls that went against them

38:32

are disgusting. Okay. And that's

38:35

why the NBA has to deal more than

38:37

any other sport with talk about conspiracies and

38:39

fixes. The NBA has to deal with that

38:41

stuff more than any other sport because

38:44

of stuff like last night. And I'm not

38:46

saying that, Zara, but the

38:48

guy's a great official. He was a great

38:51

crew. They made mistakes. It happens, but

38:53

it looks bad. The optics of that

38:55

stuff and favoring the Knicks and Madison

38:58

square garden. It looks awful. And

39:01

I feel bad for the Pacers because it

39:03

never seems to be a team like the

39:05

Indy or Sacramento, which gets the benefit of

39:07

the doubt. It always seems to be the

39:09

Knicks or the Lakers. And

39:11

so the Knicks are going to win this series anyway. And

39:15

so the question is, are we going to be

39:17

looking at a Chicago kid? Stevenson

39:21

high school. Are we going

39:23

to be looking at him in the conference finals?

39:26

Maybe take down the boss themselves. That that's

39:28

going to be something else

39:30

that both fans, nasty teeth over.

39:32

Yeah. Uh, so speaking of

39:34

like officiating and, and stuff like that,

39:37

will the NBA dare

39:40

to suspend Jamal Murray for game

39:42

three? I don't think

39:44

so. I don't think they're going to, I don't think they have the

39:47

stomach for it. I don't think the

39:49

league office, the commissioner's office has the stomach

39:51

for that. I think they'll,

39:53

I mean, I was so listening to Tim

39:55

Leggler and J Will this morning, they were

39:57

both loud and

40:00

demonstrative about the justification

40:02

of a suspension for suspension and I believe

40:04

I know those guys well I believe him

40:06

and then Richard Jefferson later in the afternoon

40:09

said wait a minute not

40:11

a suspension there's gonna be a huge

40:13

fine a reprimand blah blah blah blah

40:15

Richard's probably right but this could

40:18

have just talked about player safety I

40:20

mean if somebody takes

40:23

a spill and pulls a groin or a

40:25

hamstring or ruins an ankle for it is

40:28

out for weeks what is the league gonna do tomorrow

40:30

Murray is one of the good guys tomorrow Murray I've

40:32

gotten to be around him I know I'm not gonna

40:34

say I know him I've been around him a lot

40:37

I watched the whole series with him in Toronto because

40:39

he's a Toronto kid and I watched with him when

40:42

the Raptors won he came back to those games like

40:44

a local boy makes good

40:46

he watched the games I got to be

40:48

around him he's a wonderful dude but

40:51

he did something really

40:53

stupid and there are consequences for

40:55

that there ought to be but

40:58

I don't think the league what

41:00

do you guys think I don't think the league has the guts

41:02

for it I agree with you like waddle and I were debating

41:04

it I'm not saying that he

41:06

shouldn't be suspended but I don't believe the

41:08

NBA will go through with that because of

41:11

because of they don't have this stomach for

41:13

it I've been there's

41:15

that little Denver's getting trashed their

41:17

champion the league's champion has no

41:20

hope against this Minnesota team

41:22

none and they

41:24

know it they're watching the game and they don't want

41:26

to take this out of their hands and

41:29

didn't add that franchise and that player and

41:31

that coach they've never had run in this

41:33

is not like dealing with dream on green

41:36

you know this is dealing with somebody who

41:39

is on the right side of everything all

41:41

the time Jamal Murray so I just think

41:44

they'll I think they'll landscape

41:47

I think they're gonna suspend it for game three I

41:51

do why you know listen

41:53

I know what the hell do I know I don't know anything

41:55

no I think you open up

41:58

the door what's next I think a

42:00

bunch of guys on the sideline, you know, I'm gonna

42:02

throw a carton of eggs at somebody. Like, what am

42:04

I gonna get? I'm gonna egg it to you. I'm

42:06

gonna egg you. Tommy,

42:08

I think you're totally right. Like,

42:11

your position is my position. I agree

42:13

with you. I

42:15

just don't, I don't think they'll do

42:17

it. I don't think that

42:19

they have the stomach for it. They, they,

42:21

they basically, in a lot of ways, I

42:23

think screwed up not penalizing and bead. Have

42:26

some courage and actually do the right thing.

42:30

In the game, so in the game when

42:32

he grabbed the kid's foot. Yeah, I mean,

42:34

like. Yeah, yeah. And if they'd thrown Jamal

42:36

out of last night's game, they could say,

42:38

justifiably, hey, we threw him out. We took

42:40

care of it. You know, maybe

42:42

Jamal wanted to get thrown out. I can't believe that. People

42:44

say that, but if you know him a little bit,

42:46

you don't think that he wants that. But

42:49

it's a bad look for the NBA. It really is

42:52

to have this. And especially again, on

42:55

a night where you have

42:58

so many things going on. And

43:01

luckily, Jamal Murray's participation did

43:03

not help determine anything because

43:06

they're getting, I'll tell you what, I just never, that

43:09

might be the greatest defensive effort I've

43:11

ever seen. Unbelievable. In a game. Unbelievable.

43:13

It really, it just swarmed a team

43:17

with the best player in the world and said, yeah,

43:19

take your five to 13 and get up

43:21

out of here. And so

43:23

now I'm waiting to see what happens next. And by

43:25

the way, I don't know how

43:27

much you guys have gotten into it, but the

43:31

talk of people being reminded of Michael

43:33

Jordan when they see Anthony

43:36

Edwards is reaching a

43:38

crescendo. And

43:40

it's, it's legit

43:43

talk. Yeah. You guys know, anytime

43:46

somebody compares somebody to Jordan, I go crazy.

43:50

This is legit conversation

43:54

to compare this kid to Jordan,

43:56

not in terms of demeanor. terms

44:00

of his ability to instill

44:02

almost a fearful

44:05

loyalty amongst his teammates.

44:08

His teammates are afraid to not follow him. And

44:11

in that, in those ways, he

44:14

reminds a lot of people

44:16

of Michael Jordan. And let

44:19

me just say that positions

44:21

has not been criticized by the

44:23

goat. It's good stuff.

44:26

Michael, thank you. Thanks. Appreciate it. All

44:28

right, you guys. There's Michael. Michael.

44:30

Well, we've got some news today

44:32

all around different platforms. I've got

44:34

some stuff on the Cubs. They

44:36

get a player back. I do have

44:39

a basketball suspension.

44:42

Sort of that I got to tell you about.

44:44

And I do have news on the, um, the

44:47

roast. There's some news from the roast. So

44:49

Tom Brady roast. Yes. Okay. I don't know

44:51

if you know what it is. It's something

44:53

that we talked about yesterday, but new news

44:56

on it. So we'll address all that coming

44:58

up next. Live

45:01

from state street in the heart of Chicago.

45:03

You are listening to the new home of

45:05

the Chicago mayor. And

45:08

this is Ottawa. So

45:10

we have you

45:13

have a good karma brands radio

45:16

station. Don't

45:22

forget on Thursday, I'll be out.

45:24

It's slightly toasted in the loop.

45:27

The, uh, event will begin

45:29

at five 30 on Thursday. I'll

45:32

be there at about six 15. Slightly

45:34

toasted is located near

45:36

Ogilvy train station. If

45:39

you live in the city or you work in

45:41

the city or if you're around and

45:43

can get here 22 North

45:45

Clinton, uh, be there. We'll

45:48

be drinking Elijah, Craig, Kentucky,

45:50

straight bourbon whiskey, and I'll be

45:52

giving away two spots into

45:54

our great, uh, grip

45:56

it and sip it golf event that

45:59

sold out in. 20 minutes, there are no

46:01

more spots left. The only way

46:03

you can get a spot is by

46:05

coming to the event. On Thursday, it's

46:07

slightly toasted at 5.30. So

46:10

hope to see you at slightly toasted on

46:12

Thursday at 5.30, 22 North Clinton. All

46:17

right, well, a couple of things here. I

46:19

got three things for you, Waddle. Number one

46:21

is one thing that we already told you

46:23

about, and that's the Cubs news of the

46:25

day, and that is Cody Bellinger is back

46:27

tonight. He

46:29

has been activated. Keegan

46:32

Thompson is also back on the

46:34

active roster. Polencia,

46:36

the hard-throwing reliever,

46:39

is complaining about a shoulder injury.

46:42

I guess X-rays were negative, but there

46:44

could be a nerve situation, so who

46:46

knows where that shoulders are not good.

46:49

It's never good when you hear a reliever complain

46:51

about a shoulder situation.

46:54

And then who else is going out?

46:57

Who did they say? They as

46:59

hell. No, no, no, no. There was one

47:01

more person that they made inactive. Canario. Canario's

47:05

going down. And then Sayas going out

47:07

for a rehab assignment. So that's the

47:10

big news, and the biggest news there,

47:12

of course, is that Bellinger is back.

47:15

All right, you want what's behind door number

47:18

two or door number three? Door number two.

47:20

Door number two, did you see this? This

47:22

is from a little earlier today. I just

47:24

saw this. This is about a suspension. Melar,

47:27

I don't know if you have the sound.

47:29

I should have told you here during the

47:32

break. Do you remember the Caitlin Clark awkward

47:34

exchange from her press conference

47:36

when she was- Yes, with Greg Doyle. With Greg

47:38

Doyle. Did you see the news on that? Did

47:40

not. Let

47:42

me know when you have this, Melar. We

47:45

were just talking about Jamal Murray. Will he

47:47

be suspended? What is suspension

47:49

worthy? All right, play this, Melar.

47:51

For those who don't remember, this

47:54

was the awkward exchange between Caitlin

47:56

Clark when she had signed with

47:58

the WNBA team, Indiana. and

48:01

this is Greg Doyle, calmness, who works

48:03

for the Indianapolis Star Tribune, I believe

48:06

is the name of the newspaper, and

48:09

here's what happened. Hey, Kaitlyn.

48:12

Greg Doyle, Indy Star. Real

48:14

quick, let me do this. You

48:18

like that? I

48:20

like that you're here. I like that you're here. I

48:23

do that at my family after every game, so pretty

48:25

cool. Start doing it to me and we'll get

48:27

along just fine. So, very

48:30

weird, very creepy. He did the

48:32

heart sign at first that she

48:34

does, and

48:37

then he wrote

48:39

a calm, apologizing, but

48:41

it was a weird apology too. Suspension-worthy

48:44

in your mind? Sure,

48:47

yeah. What would you, what

48:49

kind of a suspension? We're

48:52

gonna, we're not gonna let you go

48:54

to any press conferences for 40 years.

48:57

It's right. You're saying like press conferences. You

49:00

need to stay away from her for baby.

49:03

Basically all of her games for her

49:05

entire career. Here's a restraining order. Right,

49:08

a Kaitlyn Clark restraining order. She,

49:11

I guess, they're reporting that

49:13

he has been suspended from

49:15

the newspaper for two weeks.

49:17

Yeah, okay. So, that's

49:19

a suspension. You know what? I

49:21

think creepy behavior is worthy of a

49:23

two-week suspension. I'm not gonna lie. Indy

49:26

start kind of dragging their feet on that. I'm

49:28

surprised it took them this long, you know?

49:32

Maybe they had to go through some HR process.

49:34

Or maybe this is finally when it came out.

49:36

I don't know like if this

49:38

is friendly where it's been. I think Bob

49:40

Kravitz was the one who works in Indy

49:43

who finally publicized it. You're right too, Miller.

49:45

Like to actually enact that suspension, if there's

49:47

a union, he may have to go through

49:50

all kinds of... Right, like they

49:52

may have tried to suspend him and he's

49:54

like, you can't suspend me for just being

49:56

creepy. I am super

49:58

creepy, man. Yes, I

50:01

may be creepy, but it's not suspension worthy.

50:03

I only say because that was April 17th

50:06

when that took place. Wow, that is three

50:08

weeks ago. And then

50:10

the other thing was, this is

50:12

the roast news.

50:15

If you watch the

50:18

roast of Tom Brady, we

50:20

joked about this earlier. Super,

50:24

super not politically correct as all

50:26

roasts are not. And

50:29

no complaints there. You know what you're getting

50:31

in a roast. But then

50:33

I joked about this, that Kim Kardashian was

50:36

booed. And now all of a

50:38

sudden everyone's like, oh no, no, no, stop booing

50:40

her, stop booing her. Kevin Hart's like, all

50:42

right, all right, settle down. If

50:46

you go now to the Netflix

50:49

recorded version, because this was a live

50:51

event. If you go to this, they

50:54

have edited out Kim Kardashian being

50:56

booed. The only version you

50:59

get on Netflix is her not getting

51:01

booed. Is there an explanation for why?

51:04

No, maybe because she's

51:06

so powerful. Was

51:09

it Greg Doyle's booing? No booing Kim

51:11

Kardashian, but here's a half dozen Aaron

51:13

Hernandez jokes. Yeah, right, right. Or

51:16

like, hey, I thought the next

51:18

time we would be all together for Bob

51:20

Kraft is during his funeral. Or

51:23

like, let's talk about Tom Brady's sexuality for

51:25

three hours. I

51:28

didn't know that she was untouchable. Yes,

51:30

but we cannot boo Kim Kardashian. They

51:32

scrubbed that from the roast. I wonder

51:34

if anything else has been scrubbed. Incredible,

51:37

isn't it? This

51:39

portion of Waddle and Sylvie brought to

51:41

you by Steinhoffles for Chicagoland locations, the

51:44

Memorial Day mattress sale going on now.

51:48

Thank you to Michael Wilbon,

51:50

also to Tyler and Miller. For Waddle,

51:52

I'm Sylvie at TSP in 1000. We've

51:55

got White Sox and Rays coming up next.

51:57

Have yourself a great Tuesday night. I

52:13

am really excited.

52:16

That was a big thrill. Hi, it's

52:18

Andre Dawson, including myself, Ed Belfort. Who's

52:21

getting wild tonight? That's

52:26

what I'm talking about, baby. No, hi

52:28

for me. I'm

52:30

getting more vibes than highs. And

52:40

thank you to all and to all a good

52:42

night. I just want to say thank you all,

52:45

and as always, f*** everybody else. I love you

52:47

all. Houston,
