Chapter 1: What is discussed at the start of this section?
Rahimi Harrison-Grody, 10-2 on 104.3 The Score.
I think I asked for an impossible favor on fans, and I'm sorry that I said no fights across town. I don't think it's happening. Based on a very small sample size in our text chat and our text line, I regret that. White, have you prepared your statement of regret?
I have.
Let's hear it.
I state my regret. You couldn't have memorized that.
I'm already worried about the energy for next weekend. In the best way possible.
So you're either a believer of one of these two theories, right? When it comes to Crosstown and the idea of fighting, right?
Yes.
You're a believer that one fan base will want to fight because the team is terrible, they need something to do in the game, the game's a blowout, whatever, right?

Chapter 2: What theories are explored about fan behavior during Crosstown games?
You're probably fighting a crosstown next week. Who am I to kid myself? If you do, fight responsibly with honor, passion. This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 104.3 The Score. On this Thursday, we are getting you ready for a day game, the finale of the Cubs and Reds series. How are they going to win today?
Soda!
It's showtime! Walk off bulk? Like, what's next, people? That's the voice of Mark Grody, and I think, Mark, we have to pick up where we left off yesterday, not just with Michael Reinsdorf, where I thought that that was great, by the way, introducing Bryson Graham, but also with, yet again, no lead is safe. And Bears. Bears.
My Cubs games are starting to feel like the Bears games, which are starting to feel like the Cubs games, which are starting to feel like the Bears games. And I don't know that I can take this. There's 162 of these.
I think the difference is, and I love the analogy, the only difference to me is... Because it was a revelation this year with Caleb Williams, I know the Cubs are coming back in these games. I don't know for sure during the Bears season that they're going to come back and have that singular magic in every single game or a lot of games. And the Bears did.
But I knew last night that the Cubs were going to come back and eventually win that game. It's getting harder and harder to know that, but I knew that last night again. It's showtime. It's showtime at Wrigley Field. I hope people are getting down with this.
Yeah, again, I'm going to keep saying it. I think it was after the game against the Pirates, Mark, when we were in Vegas, where I was like, Shota, I owe you an apology. You're just going out here and shoving. And then he had one bloop, like one blip on the radar against the Dodgers. And then things have come back to what he has had, which is normal so far to start the season.
So yet again, Shota, I was at your last start at Wrigley on Saturday.
make me tell you i'm sorry again because my goodness that was such an excellent performance he had to help his team win a two nothing ball game against the diamondbacks go out and do it again seven shutout innings in that contest showed it enters today with a 240 era his counterpart today because we're all greedy right now man we're all looking for the ninth straight win overall the 15th straight win and wrigley

Chapter 3: How does the Cubs' recent performance compare to past seasons?
Oh, slap.
Just slap.
There's no why?
It is size, athleticism, length, and physicality.
Oh, okay.
And Phil.
Phil. Yeah, I thought Phil was the P. I always miss the P. I got it.
Phil Jackson? Like, who's the Phil?
It could be Phil Jackson. It's an ode to Phil.

Chapter 4: What insights are shared about the upcoming Cubs game?
Like when I've heard him here on this station, like in terms of, of course he won't. Like he just won't play with those guys.
It is verbal judo with Craig Council in the afternoon show.
Would you please humor Lawrence and Matt, please? Would you please just humor them?
I kind of like that he doesn't actually.
It actually does come across as, because it's like a challenge. How can we get him to answer our questions?
Well, you know, and I'm like, well, I know what question I'm asking Craig Council if he's ever on the Midday Show or something like that.
Oh, you do?
Yeah. Dear Craig, are you a vampire? He has no gray hair.
Oh, yeah.

Chapter 5: What are the key updates about the Cubs for a Cure Radiothon?
There's a ton of talent here. And so you need some ping pong ball help. And that will have him off to a great start. And if it doesn't go the Bulls' way, maybe they can still find a great player. Giannis wasn't the number one pick. Steph Curry wasn't the number one pick. Obviously it happens.
But given how big of a draft this is, Sunday is probably the biggest day for the Bulls franchise for the last couple of years going backwards and the last couple of years going forward. Because you get an A.J. DeBansta or a Darren Peterson or a Caleb Wilson. Those types of guys have ceilings that can be franchise-changing players.
And so I really do think Sunday is the biggest day for the Bulls in a couple of years.
Chapter 6: What donation incentives are available during the Radiothon?
Absolutely. And we want you to save the date. We mentioned it earlier, the Cubs for a Cure 24-hour Radiothon. It takes place from May 21st to May 22nd right here on 104.3 The Score. Learn more and donate now at cubs.com forward slash Cubs for a Cure. If you want to get involved with the Cubs for a Cure Radiothon, email 104.3 Radiothon at gmail.com. And I know you have some updates for us, Danny.
Yeah, so I got some donation incentives I'll tell you guys about in a second, but I just want to say a thank you to Arbor Investments, they're great Cubs fans, friends of the score, close friends of the Ricketts family and Crane Kenny, Greg Purcell, founder and chairman. They're on board again this year.
We have Fox Sports on board, John Gavin, Doug and Stacey Meyer, Jeffrey LaMorte Salons, Russ Armstrong, the Chicago Window guy, on and on and on, Mr. Duct Cleaning, so many. We got over a dozen sponsors already on board. Donation incentives. How about a house in Sedona for a week that can sleep up to 12 people? We've got suite tickets every Bears game this year in the Skyline Club.
That's the premier suite at Soldier Field. My guy, Cole Komet, came through and donated some signed memorabilia and his personal Bears tickets. Aww. to a game this year. We got 1914 club tickets. We got Wrigley Field experiences. We got Cubs memorabilia.
Chapter 7: How is PCA performing in recent games?
The Friday after the Radiothon, Cubs-Cardinals in St. Louis. Row one, their version of the 1914 club. So you can be in enemy territory. There's a Jordan Davis concert after the game. So go to a Friday Cubs-Cardinals game in St. Louis. Rep the Cubs gear. Then watch a concert after the fact. Speaking of concerts... We got tickets to some Wrigley Field concerts.
We got tickets to John Mulaney at Wrigley Field. The incentives are going to be absolutely insane this year. So all of it goes to charity. All of it goes to cancer research, 100%. There's no overhead with the event. DM me. Get involved.
If you've got a prize that you want to donate, you've got tickets you want to donate, you've got a restaurant experience you want to donate, get on board with the biggest broadcast charity event in Chicago. We did $750K last year. Unbelievable. Going to try to top it this year. Danny, and I want to thank you for going on CHGO.
Chapter 8: What are the implications of Matthew Boyd's injury for the Cubs?
I heard your hilarious hits with Carm and the Boys and revealing or reminding us of the revelation that occurred with Les' special addiction, I will just say. The Grobber's special addiction, which was revealed on the overnights. I just want people to know that you never know what's going to be revealed during a Danny Parkins 24-hour Radiothon, especially when I'm on with him from 6 to midnight.
Listen, I mean, that's right. We had a middle-of-the-night Jason Goff appearance last year. I think I've set up another former score host to appear during the middle of the night. We don't have local overnights anymore except for the Radiothon. So it's after some late Bears games. So we got local programming.
You know, Benetti calls in late usually, and he'll donate Tigers-Cubs tickets and a meet-and-greet with him. Adam Amin's been known to call in late. Oh, I haven't even asked him yet, but I'm sure he will. Jeff Passan breaks his ESPN rule and comes on every year for the Radiothon, so we'll get Passan on. We're going to have Rizzo on. We're going to have... Tyone on.
We're going to have Eddie O's going to be back on. Some other big sports surprises that I'll save for the day of. Huge names are going to be on this year that have never been on before. Been working on it for months, guys. It's going to be a big broadcast.
Well, we're excited for it, and we will see you in just under two weeks. Again, the email address, 1043radiothon at gmail.com. Danny, thanks again.
Yeah, reach out. DMs are open as well. Thanks, guys.
Bye, Danny. Bears.
Bears. Bye, Mark. Bye, Layla.
See ya.
