Iha: I’m not sure that’s the....
BC: They didn’t like that joke, heh.
Iha: (laughing) It’s not the hometown joke. But thanks.
BC: Don’t the Lakers have everybody? Kevin Durant....
Iha: Oh, we got – they got [unintelligible two words, but definitely not a current player’s name].
BC: They have everybody now.
Iha: Helluva team.
BC: He lives in L.A. now, that’s why. He got the heck out of Chicago. Chicago. Moved to L.A., lived the dream.
Iha: They don’t care.
BC: They don’t care. I know they don’t care!

Iha: Thank you, thank you.
BC: He and I started this band in 1987.
Iha: Geez Louise.
BC: ‘Bout 12 years ago. And uh...it was so long ago they didn’t have zoos.
Iha: Heh heh heh.
BC: (laughing) This is gonna go off the rails, heh heh. Anyway, we’re having a good time, we hope you’re having a good time too.
