This hour is brought to you by Vasectomy Clinics of Chicago.
Rahimi Harrison-Grody, 10 to 2 on 104.3 The Score.
And we go out to our hotline. That is where we find WBBM Newsradio political editor Jeff Buchholz, who is right now joining us from Oak Park, where an event held by the governor just wrapped up. Hi, Jeff.
A lot of the conversations today, according to the governor over the last 24 hours, have been the Bears saying, well, we didn't mean that we're moving to Indiana. And we only put that statement out to mollify was the word the governor used.
What recent statements did the Bears make about moving to Indiana?
Holy cow, that's a big word.
When you say mollify, you mean appease. So so the Bears made that statement to appease the work that they had done with Indiana. And and they're walking it back when it came to the statement that they issued yesterday.
I mean, I suppose if I had a dictionary in front of me, Layla, I would be able to sort of parse the difference between peas and mollify. I'm going to stick with mollify because that's the word the governor used and I don't want to like put words in his mouth. We are. Let me give you the definition of mollify. Appease the anger or anxiety of someone. I'm just giving you the straight off. That's the dictionary.com edition.
Why did you make me put that down? We need a medical dictionary. A patient gets difficult, you clone them.
Jeff, I just want to use the word mollify too, since both my partners did. I want to make sure that I was able to use that word as well. What would be worse for him? The tax payers having to pay more or losing the Chicago Bears to the state of Indiana? I believe you are referring, Grody, to the widely held belief that Governor Pritzker is going to seek an office other than the governorship of Illinois. That would be correct, to mollify my statement.
Yes, that would be correct. Good job. Yeah, exactly. My life is one long, mollifying part. We appreciate your time, and thank you for doing so, Jeff. This has been very informative, as usual, and we all learned a new word today.
Hey, if that's what I bring to the folks at 104.3 The Score, I'm happy to help.
We should bring something.
I already am. I'm bringing the gift of knowledge.
Now our show is brought to you by the word mollify.
Layla Rahimi, Marshall Harris, Mark Grody. Middays 10 a.m. to 2 on Chicago Sports Radio 104.3 The Score.
I guess we're going to mollify your hockey quotient for the day with Catherine Tappan joining us at 1045. Olympic gold medalist himself, Jack O'Callaghan, joining us later in our show at 1225. And in the meantime, Bears and baseball and more. This is Rahimi Harrison-Grote on 104.3 The Score. And... I'm trying to use it in a sentence, but appease is not the word I would use for something I hadn't seen in my lifetime, which was an Olympic gold medal hockey team. And here we are. I think we talked about this in our pre-show meeting. Marshall Harris, Mark Grody, where were you when you watched something that you hadn't seen happen since 1980 or perhaps hadn't seen at all? I will confess. I DVR'd it, and I watched the game on tape delay.
I got to see Mike Tirico's wonderful closing comments for that broadcast live, but I did not get to see what happened real time, but I kept up with the data. But I had to watch it when I was fully awake on Sunday.
I'm not going to lie. I was at the gym, and I got the alert that the U.S. had won. The class itself was from 9 to 10, so towards the end of the class is when I got the alert. I knew they were winning, and I knew they were tied, and then I knew what happened in overtime. Then I went home and I watched it. It was great because it made me feel like no longer is the U.S. this underdog story. The U.S. is... on par with other nations who have prioritized hockey and i know that's a bummer for our neighbors up north but hey them's the breaks the usa has arrived and the usa is not going anywhere watching specifically the third period but even before that i was like i think canada is playing a better game of hockey than the us but hockey is one of those sports where if you don't get the bounce
