What was the on-air introduction and show format at the top of the episode?

Layla Rahimi 0:00

The views and opinions of Layla Rahimi, Marshall Harris, and Mark Grody should not be taken too seriously. Especially when they give advice. Do not take Marshall's analogies literally. Especially when it comes to Russell Dorsey. The sports thoughts of Rahimi, Harris, and Grody may change at any time. It's just sports. Okay, thanks, bye.

Rahimi Harrison 0:19

Rahimi, Harris, and Grody. 10 to 2. On 104.3 The Score.

Vinny Rotino 0:24

This morning. Kay Adams' show with Caleb Williams, and he talked about what he and Ben Johnson have been working on.

Caleb Williams 0:33

We grab a couple waters. We obviously, whether we need to eat there or eat before or whatever, we eat there. We sit down and we go through it. We figure out, was it catchable? Was it not? Is there anything I can do better to help the receivers? Obviously, there's times where the guys just drop the ball. But more often than not, it's looking inward. I'm going to start with myself. And then going from there, he asked me a question right before I left. He said, is there anything you need from me to be better for you? And I said, no, just keep pushing me. And he said, you don't have to worry about that.

Mark Grote 1:10

The message is clearly getting to him, but at the same time, everybody's tired of hearing about that to the point where maybe he will be so motivated, just like Dio of Dangbo, to do bigger, better things throughout games for the Bears this season.

What did Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson discuss about preparation and film review?

Vinny Rotino 1:22

We have reason to be encouraged. And so if this is the next level of that in Yoda and Jedi... You must unlearn what you have learned.

Rahimi Harrison 1:33

All right, I'll give it a try. No, try not. Do or do not. There is no try.

Vinny Rotino 1:42

I got excited about Yoda and Jedi talk for a second. Don't know why.

Mark Grote 1:45

Do you remember when they were in the Return of the Jedi and they're in that swamp with all the smoke coming out and Yoda just took his two fingers and raised the fighter. Hey, no spoiler. No spoiler. Hang on.

Layla Rahimi 1:57

Spoiler alert.

Mark Grote 1:58

Okay.

Layla Rahimi 1:59

No. I am your father.

Vinny Rotino 2:01

What are you doing over here? Come on. Is nothing sacred? I don't care. Is nothing sacred?

Mark Grote 2:09

Okay, I won't spoil it, but he becomes a Jedi.

Unknown 2:12

Grody, what are you doing, man?

Rahimi Harrison 2:15

Leila Rahimi, Marshall Harris, Mark Grody. Midday's 10 a.m. to 2 on Chicago Sports Radio 104.3 The Score.

Vinny Rotino 2:25

To which somebody said to me, well, Layla, that movie came out in the 70s slash 80s. And I said, and? There's a code. There's a code when it comes to Star Wars. I don't make the rules, but I follow them.

Marshall Harris 2:38

Wait, wait, what is the code?

Vinny Rotino 2:39

No spoilers.

Marshall Harris 2:42

Spoiler alert.

Vinny Rotino 2:43

No, not even then.

Marshall Harris 2:44

Wait, wait, hold up. You're saying after we do the spoiler alert disclaimer? Not for Star Wars. That's crazy.

Vinny Rotino 2:51

I didn't make this rule. Who made the rule? Everybody just went with it.

Marshall Harris 2:57

Marshall, I think it was Yoda. Oh, okay.

Vinny Rotino 3:00

Yeah, Grody's never being a Jedi. He is at House Hall.

Marshall Harris 3:04

Spoilers, there are not. Is that what you're saying?

Vinny Rotino 3:06

We'll hear from him at 125. Yoda is correct. Do or do not, there is no try. And that's kind of what the Cubs did with Jamison Tyone. He tried, though. No, no, no, but they did. They did the thing. They decided that after what they had seen in Pittsburgh, that they had had enough.

How did the hosts use Star Wars analogies to frame team mentality?

Marshall Harris 3:22

No, what I was saying was he tried, but he did not.

Vinny Rotino 3:27

Unfortunately, it had gotten to a point that was untenable for them when it came to how many home runs he was giving up and how many multi-run home runs factored into that.

Marshall Harris 3:37

Non-Tyones, as it were.

Vinny Rotino 3:38

Well, it was just a it's interesting, not just because of the fact that it lets you know that even the Cubs understand that how bad they're starting pitching is and how bad the scenario is as a whole for them. They still had to have a standard when it came to what they were able to put up with or what they were willing to withstand. So we see that message that is sent. And also, I do think about the fact that Jamison Tyone was one of the dependent on arms in the playoffs. We all remember Wrigley Field last year after he ends the inning with the strikeout to get things going and the place is on 10. And he's not going to be that guy for them. Now the better question becomes, who will be? with what's going on with the health of this team, but either way, the message was sent and the message was received.
