Grounder to short. Dansby. Bobbles. Fires to first. Cubs win. The skid has been snapped. Cubs get the W here in Pittsburgh. Exhale, Cubs fans. Pirates 4, Cubs 10, Pirates 4.
How did the Cubs snap their losing streak?
Our long national nightmare is over.
The Cubs pick up a W. Who requested the Mastodon? It's the 6-3-0. Hardcore. All right, let's get going. We're letting people request the return music today here. Hardcore Mastodon. Yeah, this is 104.3 The Score. Mark Grody, Layla Rahimi, Rahimi Harrison-Grody. Do you want to do your XRT DJ impression for Mastodon? I think the only... artists that i should mention for any rock station in town right now it would just be here's more noah khan because everybody's just playing noah khan no this isn't about what what you think the people want the people legit wanted mastodon that's true there's your job as a dj okay all right i'll go into xrt mode here's hosier here's moby Moby. And then it's always that lo-fi song.
Here's Lola Young, another all-formatted artist. Lola Young, you could probably hear her on B96, and you could probably hear her on WXRT. Those are my favorite artists. Also, the Riot Fest lineup came out, and we are freaking out. Bro. It's excellent. Can you go through some of that or you don't have it in front of you right now? I have it in front of me right now. Please do. Let's talk a little music. Tool, 21 Pilots, Pierce the Veil, Alanis Morissette, Social Distortion, Alkaline Trio, Nas, The All-American Rejects, Iggy Pop, Morrissey, The Pixies, Patti Smith and her band. Yeah, this is pretty good. Okay, real quick. Out of all of those. Less Than Jake, Bowling for Soup, GWAR. GWAR, anybody? Friend of the score.
Who do you most want to see? If you had to see one band out of all of those. I saw 21 Pilots live in Nashville a couple years ago. It was a fantastic show. Really? Taking my time on my ride. Fantastic show. Yeah, Bowling for Soup is from my hometown of Denton. Okay. They have a song about Denton County and everything, so I'm very excited about that. The Pixies live when I saw them at Fry Street Fair 20 years ago were fantastic. Tool. I have always wanted to see Tool. Santa Gold. I'm very excited about that. This is making me happy. Okay, we'll be there. There's a band called Mom Jeans that I hadn't heard of, but I own them. That sounds terrible.
What insights does Chris Emma provide on the Bears' OTAs?
Insane Clown Posse. That is nice. So shout out to Riot Fest. Yeah. What has not been a riot has been the Cubs offense over their 10 game losing streak. We're very thankful that they actually won and scored 10 runs against the Pittsburgh Pirates. What are you guys doing spending all your capital in the one spot? That's not okay. What are we doing here? Stressful times. Oh no. Is that top text correct? What? Morrissey just canceled. Oh, I did not know that. That is unconfirmed. Unconfirmed, yes. Unconfirmed. Sorry, sometimes I just say stuff. Go ahead, Layla. I'm sorry. Cubs. That's fine. Oh, now we're getting a Pantera request. Interesting. Oh, I love me some Pantera. The Southern Rockers. Aren't they also from Texas?
Maybe Pantera? Oh, yeah.
What is the current status of Jalen Johnson's health?
R.I.P. to Daryl. Dimebag Daryl. Dead. So in the meantime, Jed Hoyer made the trip to Pittsburgh, which is, I don't know if you want the GM on the trip because it's the right thing to do as the GM is to support the team. But then it's like, oh, no, we played bad enough to where, like, you've got to come support the team. Yeah. But then again, you want him to be hands-on. So that's a tough one. We might have to ask Ian Happ that when they get back to town and we talk to Ian. But in the meantime, Jed Hoyer made the trip. It's Pittsburgh. Then it is the Cardinals series in St. Louis. And that's the one where Danny Parkins and the Cubs for a Cure Radiothon actually put out the tickets that you could buy. So I'm very excited to see the Cubs fans in attendance.
over in St.
Louis.
But in the meantime, I don't know that it's great that Jed Hoyer was on the trip. He talked about wanting to support the team. And he was also asked, this is prior to last night's game. This is a couple days prior.
