What was the success of the Cubs for a Cure Radiothon?
I could do Stephen A's job, guys. Danny Parkins. QB1 party! All are invited! Host of Fox Sports 1's First Things First. Let's end the show with one of your favorite comedic actors ever, and huge Knicks fan, Ben Stiller, liking a post of me just saying, obviously I was wrong. Obviously. I guess I'm out of Ben Stiller's circle of trust, Rachel. This is very upsetting. The Bears, plenty of reason to doubt them.
How much money was raised for cancer research?
Caleb Williams, no. Former host of 670 The Score, before he abandoned us. That's a Caleb Williams custom, baby. Jersey number one is going to the Raptors. You guys made it seem like a Chicago Bears fan. We had our guy, Danny Parkins, all these guys. Danny Parkins on 104.3 The Score. It's hard being me.
Wait, that is the voice of Danny Parkins. I saw him last week when he was here for the Cubs for a cure radio.
What was Danny Parkins' interaction with Ben Stiller about?
Yeah, that he raised eight hundred and five thousand dollars to fund cancer research and related causes. And now he's he's just out here hobnobbing with celebrities. Danny Parkins. First things first on Fox Sports 1. Hey, Danny, how are you?
Layla Grody, thank you. We raised $805,000. And the official total from the Cubs, I think, is coming out at some point today or maybe tomorrow at the latest. But it's going to be a big number with the full Cubs for a Cure weekend. And listen, I don't know.
How did Ben Stiller respond to Danny's Knicks take?
Are you hobnobbing if they're just responding to your tweets and dunking on you for bad takes? I don't know if that's hobnobbing.
I know. You are so close to hobnobbing. I thoroughly enjoyed it. No, you're hobnobbing on the internet. You're communicating. I bet there's a lot of people who Ben Stiller hasn't texted back.
You got him to end his tweet, his subtweet to you and sign it Focker. That is amazing.
What comedic references did Danny and Ben share?
Brody, that was my favorite part of it too.
Oh, beautiful. He signed it, Focker. And then I know, I know that a comedian hates when you cite someone's bit to them. And then I just couldn't help myself, and I just quoted heavyweights, and he hit me back with the gif from heavyweights. I was like, here's the problem. I could have done that all night. Just pivoted from heavyweights to something about Mary. Pivoted from something about Mary. uh to Zoolander from Zoolander to uh Tropic Thunder like I could have gone all day he's literally one of the greatest comedic actors of all time so yeah it was it was a thrill uh Nick Wright texted me as soon as it happened and he goes how like is it the greatest moment of your life that one of your comedic heroes uh roasted you for a bad sports take
Because it really is like right in my sweet spot of things that I love in the world, takes and comedy. So it was very cool. I'm thrilled for Ben Stiller and all Knicks fans. New York is just jumping right now. It's a basketball town first and foremost. So it's been pretty exciting out here.
No, it's the most surreal, bloody thing. And they always say, never meet your heroes. And then it turns out Ben Stiller is awesome and a fun sports fan. This is as good as it gets.
What memorable moments occurred during the Cubs for a Cure event?
What is this? A center for ants? Somebody had to do it.
Don't you think, Layla, because you were quoting it yesterday, the prayer that Ben Stiller did during the dinner scene.
By day. By day.
By day.
Amen.
Would we agree, guys, that that scene... Should be making its way into the top 20 greatest scenes ever, funniest scenes in a movie. That whole dinner where you're milking the cat and whatnot and the prayer. It's laugh out loud every time.
Grody, that is – when I said on the end of that clip that aired yesterday about Meet the Parents, I was like, that movie and The Hangover and the first Jackass movie and Borat. I could keep going, but those are the four – Like in the theater comedy experiences that I would say I laughed the hardest. And Meet the Parents was the first one of those movies. And so at the time, Meet the Parents was the hardest I had ever laughed in a theater. And that is the scene that got me. Prayer into I have nipples, Greg. Can you milk me?
How do Danny and his guests feel about the future of the Radiothon?
Yeah. Into Mr. Jinx, you know, using the urn as a litter box is like the funniest four minute like scene that I had ever seen in my life until that point.
