Each episode is about a different, inspiring figure from history. Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it.

And it began with me. Did you know, did you know? I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa, it was called a moment. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records. Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise.

I was born a donkey. It's the donkey of the day. Look at these donkeys. Bunch of the day. That's pretty funny.

Charlamagne the devil. It's possible. The Breakfast Club. Yes, donkey of the day for Thursday, May 9th, goes to my man, the legendary future NBA Hall of Famer, Paul Pierce. Now, listen, I love predictions uh we all make them that is the foundation of a lot of different debates and lively discussions in our culture someone throws a wild prediction out there and then everyone goes back and forth depending on

if people agree or disagree some people will tell you never make predictions especially about the future but what fun would that be f that that. Let your testicles hang, all right? Throw something against the wall and see if it sticks. If you are correct in your prediction, then you are a prophet of sorts, okay? You get to look at people and say, I told you so. You know what I mean? Especially if the situation goes down

exactly how you said it would. And even if you're wrong, that's fine too. Depending how close the actual outcome came to your said prediction. And that's why we are here today giving Paul Pierce the credit he deserves for being stupid because Paul Pierce made what has turned out to be an extremely stupid prediction. All right? See, Paul Pierce was on ESPN.

And after game one of the Eastern Conference semifinals, which the Boston Celtics won 112-90, a 22-point blowout, Paul Pierce got on ESPN and made this bold prediction. As a team, I don't know where Milwaukee goes from here. Whoa, whoa, whoa. So is this over? I think it's over. The series is over.

Yeah, they lost. One game? You just said it and said that they could win an NBA championship. Yeah, I did say that. One game. I think styles make fights in boxing. We know the style of both teams before the series started. Yeah, but it just seemed like Milwaukee was a way better team throughout the regular season.

But when I watch this, if Giannis doesn't have a monster game and somebody else besides him doesn't step up, Boston is just going to out-talent it. Paul Pierce, after game one of the NBA Eastern Conference semifinals, ladies and gentlemen, after the subjects beat the Bucs by 22 points, you heard him just say he declared the series was over. Well, last night, the series did come to an end. Let's hear what the outcome was. So the Bucs are on their way to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 2001. The Bucs win it 116-91.

Dropping the clues, man, for the Milwaukee Bucs. All right. Game five, they won the series four games to one, meaning after that game one loss to the Celtics, the Bucs didn't lose no more. Now, here's the thing. During the regular season, the Bucs won 60 games. 60 games. Number one seed in the East.

The Greek freak, Giannis, last name I can't pronounce, is an MVP candidate, one of the most unstoppable players in the league. They have another all-star in Chris Middleton. They got Eric Bledsoe, Brooke Lopez. The Bucs have six players, six players, averaging double figures in points for the regular season. I'm saying all that to say they got a squad squad, all right, a team team. There's no reason to say in a seven-game series after game one that this team in particular was done.

All right? I love Milwaukee. Salute to everyone who listens to us on 100.7 Jams in Milwaukee. I think everyone in Milwaukee who can hear my voice needs to go to at Paul Pierce 34 on Twitter and leave nothing but deer emojis in his comments because he was loud and wrong. Not once but twice. Oh, Paul doubled and tripled down. Now, Paul could have been drunk when he initially said after game one it was over,

but he doubled down on the jump on ESPN, and he seemed to be sober here. Let's listen. I mean, they may win a game, maybe two, but I just look at the talent disparity on these two ball clubs. Look at our faces. See, it's so easy kind of. It's easier to scout the Bucs than it is the Celtics. You know the driving force for the Bucs.

Of course, you know Celtics have a driving force in Kyrie, but they have so many other guys that can step up. Now, you slow down Greek Freak and you took him away for the most part and they lose by 20. Some donkey of the day has just sold themselves. Please give Paul Pierce the sweet sounds of the Hamilton's.

Oh, now you are the donkey of the dayiltons oh now you are the donkey of the day you are the donkey of the day everybody in milwaukee please go have a pity party and pa Paul Pierce's mentions. His Twitter is PaulPierce34. Leave nothing but deer emojis all in his comments all day long. Okay? Have a blessed day, Paul Pierce. Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about starting your own?
