What is the Cubs For A Cure Radiothon?
This hour is brought to you by Jewel Osco.
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 hold our horses. Knicks making the finals. We've seen this before through seven games. Teams throttle people. It mismatches happen in the playoffs. Knicks are playing great. Knicks are hot. The Bears, plenty of reason to doubt them. 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.
No, we're not waiting. We wanted to talk to Danny today, and now, and we're going to do that. He is at Danny Parkins on X. You can check him out on the newly expanded First Things First OT from 4 to 5 on Fox Sports 1, and we have the Cubs WordCure Radiothon coming up in just over two weeks. Danny Parkins joining us on our hotline and on Twitch, twitch.tv slash thescorechicago. Danny, how are you?
I'm great. And technically just under two weeks.
Oh, yeah. This is Thursday.
Yeah. Yeah. Two weeks from an hour ago. It'll it'll begin.
So I have some news for you. Yeah, we had one of our texters to our text line. He sent us a message saying, how can I sponsor part of the Radiothon? So I gave him the email account, 1043radiothon at gmail.com, if you guys are interested. So even the text line coming through for the big Radiothon.
How does Danny Parkins view the Bears' future in 2026?
Great. Yeah, I hope I haven't... I got to check the email address this morning. I haven't checked it today, so I hope that that comes through. Listen, we've got... What the hell is going on?
Jesus. Get yourself together, man. This is a 50,000-watt radio station, pal. I don't know what you think you're doing.
I think it's even more watts now with the FM.
We're a 100,000-watt radio station, Parkins. Get this guy a handkerchief or something.
You're a lot of what, Scrooge? I don't know what's happening. Somebody spray him down over there. I thought you had people.
Where's Robbie?
Yeah, Robbie is slacking on his duties as producer.
Did you just wake up? Look at you, man. Your eyes are half shut. You're wearing a sloppy t-shirt. You look like me for crying out loud. That's it. You look tired because you don't have makeup on.
Dude, I look tired because the NBA playoffs are brutal. They're awesome. Is that what it is? No, they are awesome, Layla. That is true. But, my God, these NBA games end at 1 in the morning every single day on the East Coast. It's crazy. And then I wake up with the kids every day. It's very hard being me. So I am tired. I have no idea what just happened with my throat. I've got to get that figured out. because I'm about to broadcast for 24 hours with you guys. Yeah, yeah. Triano, take care of this guy.
You know what?
What are the Cubs' biggest strengths this season?
Put Triano on. Enough of this hit.
Enough. Yeah, I get it. I get it. But honestly, maybe I'm not going to have to start waking up anymore because of Matthew Boyd. Maybe I'm not going to have to play with my kids anymore. You know what I mean? I can just send that story to Steph and be like, listen, honey. These takes, they're paying the bills. I got to get a break from playing with these kids. It's dangerous out here. It could cause you to miss work. That's real. Maybe it'll get me out of Little League on Sunday.
You can tear your meniscus. Are you not buying that, Danny? Is that what you're saying?
No, no, I'm buying it. I'm just saying it's like a whole new excuse for parents everywhere. It's good. Yeah, I'd be like, I don't know, it's dangerous.
He has no children. He has a furry cat. And he's out here trying to belittle the physical nature of playing with kids.
It's exhausting. Danny, when I heard it yesterday, it was the one time that I believed a player that he got hurt doing something odd like playing with your kids. Usually I'm like, okay, you're making this up. It's too ridiculous. But I believed it with Matthew Boyd. But I did wake up today and say... It was weird how the Cubs handled the whole Kyle Tucker thing last year and how they weren't transparent and they didn't communicate particularly well.
