Raimian Grody, 10-2 on 104-3 The Score.
Rapper and longtime Packers fan, Lil Wayne, says he's done with watching NFL games. Here's the message Wayne posted on X on Sunday afternoon, quote.
Make a if I can't respect the game when the refs can't ref the game. I'll only let it bell this year. Wish for it to be an amazing season, roll.
I like your like your accent. Do we have the little Wayne dissing Bears head coach Ben Johnson? Yeah,
so this is a song called Special Ops.
How many sports songs, when it's strictly a song about a team or a sport, are actually good songs?
No, I guess I guess someday we'll go all the way by Pearl Jam or Eddie Vetter, I guess, is okay. Someday
we'll go out a
Marlin Soar by Creed, that's good. Get out
of
here.
Some wide open. Is that one of your go-to karaoke songs? Okay, no more with the karaoke. I love
karaoke. What about Careless
Whisper by Wham? How do we feel about that? For
a karaoke song? Yeah. Oh, that's a great karaoke song.
Waste the chance that I had to build up.
Hi, the only karaoke song I ever remember having done was Sweet Child of Mine.
Aye aye aye aye aye Where do we go now?

the Score. What's up? We are broadcasting live from the Hyundai Studios, brought to you by your local Hyundai dealers. It's Rahemian Grody on 104-3 the score. A perfect open by Tyler Butterbaugh. Actually, I take away one butte, a happy butte, because I heard Creed. That does not get me in the right headspace to hear Creed at any time in my day.
Yeah, you know how I feel about this. I think Creed and Nickelback are different.
Ha ha oh you like nickelback. Yep. Not creed. Correct. That's okay. And I know,
I know. That's probably not actually the you know, it doesn't make sense, but to me it does.
Uh understood. I get it.
I draw the line. It's just very they're very close to one another, but I have a line. 'Cause
you have drank down to the bottom of every bottle. That's what it is, I think.
These five words in my head say, Are we having fun yet? Nobody wants this this morning.
Welcome into the show. Thanks for being with us. We are open to you. There
is a difference.
There there there is. We could get more into that later on in the show. Layla and I always love talking music, but we gotta get serious here and we are like I said, we're open on the text line. When I say that, it's all relative, Layla. Why
do we need to we just have to get on task? We have to get on. We have to get
on task would be the right way to say that. We don't have to ever be serious because it's sports. 312-644-6767. Keep those text messages coming, and every once in a while we let a phone call through as well. 312-644-6767. Quite a night again for the Chicago Cubs. It's really day-to-day in these manic Cubs episodes. The day before the sky was falling, and then we got Not what we needed last night. Yet another Pete Crow Armstrong evening. The Cubs beat the Braves 8-4. They win the series against an excellent team. PCA three for four with two home runs and a triple. He is up to 44 home runs on the season season. Seventh multi-homer game this year, 13th in his career. And he does good. get to sweet swinging again.
Breaks Billy Williams' record for Cubs lefty home runs in a season. So the displa just when you think, okay, that's enough PCA. You've done enough. It's great. You've won you've won the MVP. And now it's like, is he gonna hit 50 home runs this year?
Well, that's that's it. It's now become the drive to perhaps fifty. We're still watching the stolen bases. I'm still hoping he gets to forty. Doesn't matter. And by the way, you know you know I'm watching. You know I'm watching the Kyle Schwarber PCA home run battle that is taking place. Schwarber with forty five, but his OPS is only eight seventy. PCA's is nine fifty six. How we doin'. What it do.
How we doin'.
That's it. So just consider that part of it as well. Now PCA's been caught stealing seven times 'cause shoot or shoot.
