So, I think Wade throws me and it breaks. It’s not supposed to, it wasn’t a planned spot, and I’m laying there with broken plastic on the ground and I just hear the crowd come up and just start rumbling for Mark and I go, ‘Oh my God. - He’s not supposed to be out here for 20 more minutes.’ I’m like, ‘What the hell are we gonna do?’
