What is the opening disclaimer and who are the hosts of the show?
This hour is brought to you by Menards. Save big money at Menards. 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-Grody. 10-2 on 104.3 The Score. We do Toasty and Happen. We do so live today.
Our Blue Cross Blue Shield performance stage. I'm sure you've heard this.
Your man's name. You need to come get your man.
Yo, Zen, get your boy, dog. Pete Carl Armstrong. has thoughts about baseball, the history of baseball. And he was on a podcast with Kirsten Cavallari. And she asked him about maybe an opinion that he had that he wanted to share with the world. And here's what we get. What's an unpopular opinion that you have? This is going to be crazy. Babe Ruth never existed is one that I love. Oh, wow. Really? He never existed. Going down the rabbit hole with somebody about how Babe Ruth never existed. I was like, dude, that's awesome. Wow. So you're going to double down right now?
No, it's like we always talk about how like the game's evolving and people might as well have been like underhanding the ball to that guy.
The Sultan of Swamp. What I heard there was basically he played in a rec league against plumbers.
If he did exist. Oh, yeah. So you're fully on board with this? I mean, not that Babe Ruth existed. He was there, but he was playing against plumbers.
Nothing like a good crack about a plumber.
And that it was some pitcher, Saucedo, who was on a podcast who influenced young PCA into going down the rabbit hole.
Yeah, I don't know how he got there on the never existed thing, but yeah, that's a crazy take.
Oh, what about conspiracy theories, though?
What the f*** about conspiracy theories, though? Let me tell you something. What I love about you, this is what we call, you're a low heartbeat guy, which is perfect for baseball. The juxtaposition between you... And Pete Crow Armstrong, that's a comedy team right there. You two, like, he throws out a guy at the plate like you did. He's jumping around and dancing and pimping home runs like he did in St.
What is the controversial “Babe Ruth never existed” theory they discuss?
Louis, which was absolutely sick, by the way. But you two should do a comedy show, I think. We could not be more different on the baseball field.
Laila Rahimi, Marshall Harris, Mark Grody. Middays 10 a.m. to 2 on Chicago Sports Radio 104.3 The Score.
Yeah, we're live. Rahimi Harris and Grody on 104.3 The Score along with Marshall Harris. I am Mark Grody in Mars Hall listening back to Tyler Buterbaugh's Open, which was five buttes. It's always five buttes as far as I am concerned. We covered a lot yesterday with Ian Happ in our performance studio as we got the Wolf Down Wildfire, which was an absolute treat. I just want to get Taylor Saucedo on the show now to talk about the Mariners all-star bullpenner. I want him on the record talking about Babe Ruth or the lack of Babe Ruth or the non-varying footage that we all seen in the black and white of Babe Ruth. Because come on, man. But I did love what Ian Happ said about the plumbers. Hey, man, I'm a middle-aged man, and even to me, Babe Ruth just feels like folklore.
I have never subscribed to the conspiracy theory that he didn't exist, but he doesn't come across as real. Now, I know, like, there's all the videos. There's the moving quickly amped-up millimeters of, hey, I'm Babe Ruth, and heads are going back and forth and all that kind of stuff. I'm sure this is a great visual right now on Twitch, but not to the auditory listeners here right now. Even the stories about Babe Ruth can't be confirmed. Like the calling his own shot, which is actually BS. That never actually did happen. I thought that they said that did happen in Chicago. No, it didn't. See, that's why we need you here, conspiracy buster. I am the conspiracy buster. Can I tell you another conspiracy? Yeah.
Tara Scooble means that the Dodgers will automatically win the World Series.
