Rahimi Harrison-Grody, 10-2 on 104.3 The Score.
Jake Mintz at Cespedes BBQ now joining us. Jake, thanks for coming on.
I spent some time in Chicago over the weekend. First time I'd been there, Wrigley Field, in a decade. And I got to say, you folks got something special cooking. Not that you need to hear it from a foreigner like me. I mean, you're not from here, all right? You don't know how it is. I grew up in L.A. Anaheim. Whatever, man.
What drew you to this particular matchup this weekend, and why'd you want to go?
Leading into the weekend, I considered doing this 999 challenge. However, I will be honest with you, upon arrival in the Wrigley Field Bleachers, proved to be quite an expensive proposition. Well, yeah. And so I decided to pull the plug before even getting started.
And Eric tickets out again. Quack, quack, quack.
Quake! You didn't even make it through the first inning? The 9-9-9 challenge is in my future. I guarantee that. But it will be done at home. It will be done at home with a, you know, financially reasonably priced case of lager and some grilled franks right in front of me.
Have the courage to drink alone.
I love that you're going to do it at your house. Although I think going to a minor league game and doing it would be just as much fun because you get the same kind of... Doing it at your house just seems... I don't know. Well, doing it at your house solo seems sad. It's less sad when I can see you if I'm drinking alone. To me, Wrigley Field's 999 Challenge felt like starting this on hard mode. I want to ease into that at home.
I would agree with that. And then why am I suddenly reminded of the Wade Boggs challenge from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia?
I mean, that's a different level. It was like 62 beers on a cross-country flight. Like, I'm not.
And then you hit a home run, right?
There's nothing more fun than winning. So come on, drink up. I'll have one with you.
Nice. Let's do it. Let's drink.
Layla Rahimi, Marshall Harris, Mark Grody. Middays 10 a.m. to 2 on Chicago Sports Radio. 104.3 The Score.
In the words of Charlie from Always Sunny, after the Wade Boggs Challenge, what do now? This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody going up on a Tuesday. And the Bulls have a man in the front office now. Welcome to Bryce and Graham. Marshall's just smirking at me.
No, I just don't know what the Wade Boggs Challenge is. I feel like I should know what that is.
So the Wade Boggs Challenge, I read it on the Google machine as 70 beers on a cross-country flight. Did you say 70? Yeah, like Wade Boggs Challenge. Always Sunny. Okay. According to the AI overview, always scroll down, but this will work because it's fiction. The Wade Boggs Challenge is a drinking feat popularized by It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Season 10, Episode 1, The Gang Beats Boggs, where the characters attempt to consume 70-plus beers on a cross-country flight. It is based on a real-life legendary drinking record often attributed to Hall of Fame player... Wade Boggs, who guest starred in the episode. So they get their bags. They go from Philly all the way to L.A. And then Charlie hits a home run at a Little League field and then turns to Mac and says, what do now?
And oftentimes I'm faced with that very question. Multiple times in a day. Sober. But I seem to have the same answers regardless of what substance I've consumed, which is I don't know. The Bulls at least know. The Bulls made a hire. It wasn't the guy we thought they were going to hire. Matt Lloyd had all these Bulls connections and this Bulls resume. Well, psych. They ended up hiring Bryson Graham, the longtime New Orleans Pelicans exec who ended up moving to Atlanta. And right now there is reason to be optimistic about what we're seeing. Cautiously optimistic. We are in wait and see mode when it comes to how he wants to try to rebuild this team.
Am I a cynic, Layla? Because the first thought that came to my mind when they made this hire and went away from Matt Lloyd is they really are trying to be... a fresh start and a clean break and doing something that is not historically what they have done.
