Ladies and gentlemen, our drummer Mr. Dan Hickey's gonna turn this

Ladies and gentlemen, Dan Hickey and I were having an argument on the
bus over which was louder: the crowds in Ann Arbor, or his drum
playing.
I said drum playing.
He said audience.
[audience cheers]
I still think I'm winnin'!

Ladies and gentlemen, Dan Hickey is suffering from long term hearing
loss. His ears are simply here for decoration.
He's wearing earplugs and, he's playing the drums, but he's come all the
way from New York City to hear you SCREAM!
[audience cheers]
