First, I want to give a shout to listener, Mike Stankovich, who came out to the Tropical NBA party, who is a great contributing member of the Dynamite Circle. He's got a fantastic career and family in Manila, and he's thinking about, well, I don't even want to say what his plans are on the air. He hasn't given me the go ahead. But I just want to say, hey, thanks for all the support, Mike.
