Good morning, Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Happy Monday, everybody.

It is Monday, May 4th, 2026.

This is the Michigan Insider.

This is the Big 1050 WTK online at the big 1050.com.

A lot to discuss as the Pistons have advanced. And we will get to that coming up throughout the course of the show. We heard after the game yesterday from a few of the guys, including J.B. Bickerstaff and Katie Cunningham. Pistons get a huge win yesterday. We'll get to that in just a little bit here on the show. And so excited about this Monday edition of the show. Of course, it's a Monday, which means we'll also get to the mayor of Michigan Twitter, Scott Bell, at around 845. We will get to Sam Jane from M Live at around 910 this morning here on the Michigan Insider on the Big 1050 WTK online at the Big 1050.com. I'd like to start to show out.

Happy anniversary to my wife, 12th anniversary.

So we're going to have a great day. Looking forward to that. Part of our day is heading on down to see Terrick Scoobble to pitch tonight. He's going to pitch tonight for the Tigers down at Comerica Park. So happy anniversary to my wife. Also, happy birthday to Ricky the Peach Leach. so it's going to be a fun Monday in Southeast Michigan and, of course, in the wine tribe

household.

So excited for a fun day. It's been a great 12 plus years. Looking forward to a whole lot more. It's going to be a fun day. So happy anniversary to my wonderful wife. And I hope she gets some rest this morning as we're going to, she has earned it. She's done a lot of work around the house lately, a lot of projects, getting the house that looks fabulous.

It looks like the best the house has looked since before, probably since it was built, which was well before we bought the house. So happy anniversary to my wife. Happy birthday, Ricky the Peach, Leach. And congratulations to the Pistons because they have moved on. We talked about this on Friday.

What do we say on Friday?

What we talked about, Kate having to take over now.

Sam talked about him scoring 50 points a game, but they just said the stat.

If you were listening to the sports minute a couple minutes ago, his hundred-something

points in the last three games is the most outside of what Jamal Murray and

LeBron James, the most points scored in a three-game stretch by somebody on a team that was down

3-1, and he led his team back to victory. We talked at the end of last week about 2000, well,

beyond just the end of last week, we talked a lot last week overall about 2003. When the Pistons were the one seat in the east and the Magic were the eight seed in the east and the Magic had a three one series lead. The exact same blueprint. They won games one, three and four. They had a three one lead. And then they lost games five, six and seven. And the Pistons move on. And that's exactly what happened in 2003. That's exactly what happened this year in 2026, 23 years later.

So we talked, uh, the first part of what we talked about was the Cade Cunningham turnover.

Cade Cunningham takeover, excuse me, Cade had to take over the game.

He had to be the most dominant guy on the floor in every single game if the pissers were going to win.
