Rahimi Harrison-Grody, 10-2 on 104.3 The Score.
Ironically, because this is the second straight year in which Tiger Woods has not participated in the Masters, it is Tiger Woods that is the only one that can still stop Rory McIlroy. How would he do that, Mark? Because of both... I read this story this morning and I was laughing in my hotel room. Even the headline. Tiger Woods pissed off Rory McIlroy's wife Erica Stoll with frequent late night texts. Not to her. Let me be clear. To Tiger. Hey, what's going on, man? According to a new book on McElroy, McElroy's wife, Erica Stoll, reportedly took issue with the interruption as they tried to sleep. Who are you talking to? It's Jake from State Farm. Sounds like a really good deal. Jake from State Farm at 3 in the morning?
Who is this? It's Jake from State Farm. What are you wearing, Jake from State Farm? Uh... khakis she sounds hideous well she's a guy so i i will say the you up text this is a different you are this is a different umbrella that he's under well i want to hear all about how you two met oh it's just an online dating app not much to it Just text, text, send. Next thing you know, she's right here next to me. What's too late? You guys tell me. What's too late to get a text from a friend? Because I don't think there is a limit.
Well, my D&D goes on at 11, but then I'll just reply later. But you can't. Do you do not disturb Tiger Woods? Don't you just D&D? You've got to answer his texts, Tiger Woods.
I'm sure let's text him back tomorrow. What? No, no, no. You got to text him back right now. If you call me and I answer, cool. If I don't, my phone is never on vibrate. It is never on ring. If I see it, I see it. If I don't, I'll hit you back.
So Tiger Woods calls you. He's not up. He's up and you're not. So if it's a you up, you're not up.
Yeah, I'm not. If I'm up, no, but if I'm up, I'm answering. I'm cool. I learned a while back that if I don't text 911, people will not return my calls. But now people always return my calls because they think that something horrible has happened.
Layla Rahimi, Marshall Harris, Mark Grody. Midday's 10 a.m. to 2 on Chicago Sports Radio. 104.3 The Score.
Please don't text 911 unless you mean it. Don't listen to Michael Scott. This is Rahimi Harrison-Grote on 104.3 The Score. We are back from Vegas and with you on this Monday. Thank you for joining us.
How did the Cubs manage to avoid a sweep?
And I think we have to begin where we ended. Kind of like the hangover, but in reverse. Except maybe I was a little hungover when I embarked on my flight yesterday.
Oh, you stayed out later than me on Saturday, right?
Evergreen. I stayed out later than you.
Well, everybody stays out later than me, to be fair.
You don't even need the words in Vegas. You don't even need Saturday. That's just how it goes. We had a great time. We had a lot of fun. Went to see Mantis. Grody got to see the Mantis. Like I said, Ray nearly got captured by a woman with a feather boa and not much else on.
That happened.
We saved Ray. It was like a lifetime movie. But in the meantime, we were all trying to figure out how to consume the Cubs game on the score, of course, and pregame on a Sunday game when you're trying to salvage this series against the Pirates when you lost the first two games. The discussion surrounding Michael Bush, because as we know, the Cubs team wasn't hitting, but it was in the ways that we saw them not hit successfully. Runners in scoring position numbers for the entire city. Both the White Sox and the Cubs were atrocious over the weekend. And that's just another indication. You talked about it a lot, Marshall, in the two days that we had on air, Friday and Saturday. And it was proving us correct in that heartbreaker of a game in extras on Saturday afternoon.
So as I'm leaving Vegas, absorbing. The atmosphere and a woman who is listening to a woman in a bathroom having a much worse morning than I could ever have. There's a lot of coughing, violent coughing. You could hear? In the airport, in the concourse.
I thought you meant at the hotel, but you're at the airport.
