I was up there with all Simmons and Bruce Arthur, and we're all sitting there, and Vladdy comes on the screen, and we hadn't heard a roar like that all night.

And it was an NBA playoff game.

The reaction to Vladdy just putting his face on the screen was absolutely electric in that building.

And it wasn't topped by anything until Jamison Battle hit those four threes, and then it was very clear the Raptors were about to win the game.

But I do think there's an incredible affection for this guy.

The little kids love him.

I know so many little kids that have laddie t-shirts, and they love this guy because he's got a lovable face, and he seems like a really nice smile, and he seems like a kind human being.

And he plays all the time.

That's the other thing.

He's available.

Yes.

I was thinking maybe Ernie Clement.

Ernie Clement is rising quickly.

They're having Ernie Clement hockey jersey night on Monday night.

Yeah, they like him.

We'll play a few of mine, a ton of my favorites, and some must-hear behind-the-scenes stories from the world of rock and roll.

One thing about doing rock and roll so long is you end up meeting a lot of the people that you admire.

Sometimes you even get to work with them.

Excellent work, Joe from the Bridge.

Come on back in, folks.
