Leila Rahimi 0:00

Love him to death, man. He's a unique cat in the sense of, you know, he's like a mad scientist.

Laurence Holmes 0:08

Thanks to Kayla Williams and Max Crosby for giving everybody a podcast that had oodles of content. Thanks to Mike Florio. Thanks to Danny Parkins. Thanks to everybody who helped out with this show. Ray Diaz, Tyler Buterbaugh, Mike the Sports Cloud who chimed in. We missed you. Also, apparently one of the Cubs organists. Texted our show. So thanks for you chiming in. Thanks to Tyler Buterbaugh, as I mentioned, Brandon Fryer, Connor O'Donnell, Jacob Stutz, Max Curtis. And thanks to Lawrence Holmes and Matt Spiegel and Russ Dorsey filling in for Speaks. Hello. You're doing us a good work because not only do we like to talk to you, but I think you're helping Spiggs save his voice for the big game.

Marshall Harris 0:53

Yeah, we kind of made a decision as a collective yesterday that might be a good idea for him to shut it down because his flight was super late tonight, too. And then he's got to get up early there and he's got to go because open clubhouse will probably be at like 8 a.m. And I'm like, dude, what are we doing? Like, it's fine. Like, Russ is here. Hello. So Russell come and hang out. And then I said, maybe get an earlier flight. Just get out of here and don't talk for a day. Because what I didn't want to have happen is him get on the air on Saturday doing play-by. And he sounds like this. Exactly.

Laurence Holmes 1:35

So Friday is the first Cubs game that we will have in FM, too.

Marshall Harris 1:41

Yes, Cubs Sox. Crispy. Cubs Sox, Friday afternoon. Southside, 1-0. And then we'll be on after that. So it'll be great. And then Saturday, Spiegs has got Cubs Rangers, which will also be heard in crystal clear FM quality.

Russ Dorsey 2:00

Right here on 104.3 The Score.

Marshall Harris 2:02

And someone asked the question yesterday, and I think it was an excellent question by a texter. It was like, wait, so if you guys have 104.3 and 670 AM, does that mean that you can split the signal? Yes. If there's a conflict with the Cubs and the Bulls, the Cubs will be on 104.3 and the Bulls will be on 670. See how that works?

Russ Dorsey 2:22

I think that's a fair split.

Marshall Harris 2:23

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Russ Dorsey 2:26

Wow.

How do the hosts discuss the importance of saving energy before a big game?

Laurence Holmes 2:27

You've been relegated to AM signal.

Russ Dorsey 2:30

Yeah. The Cubs deserve the crispy audio. So now AM is just the downgrade, even though I can hear AM all the way downstate? All the way downstate? Yeah, all the way downstate. I've never run out of AM signal. I can tell you that on 670 Score.

Marshall Harris 2:43

All the way downstate, 38 states and Canada at night. The ionization of the atmosphere allows the signals to bounce a little bit further. Farther. So... So, you know, you can hear it in a lot of places.

Laurence Holmes 2:57

Like Carbondale. Have you been to Carbondale and still heard the score during the day?

Marshall Harris 3:00

Edwardsville, Cairo, Granite City.

Laurence Holmes 3:03

Carbondale is my measurement.

Marshall Harris 3:04

All the satellite companies. Mount Vernon. Yeah, all those places. Effingham. Shout out to Effingham.

Russ Dorsey 3:09

Effingham.

Marshall Harris 3:10

There's a big old cross down there. There's a huge cross on Effingham.

Russ Dorsey 3:15

I-57. And there's also an outlet mall. Okay. A lot of dries for the Dorsey family through effing hands. Big spender over there.

Laurence Holmes 3:22

I got you. On the way to your college?

Russ Dorsey 3:25

On the way to college. I wear size 12. Pick me up something.

Laurence Holmes 3:28

No. No, I won't.

Russ Dorsey 3:30

No? No. I'm the love. But no, it would be like bathroom break food. And that was always coming back how you knew, okay, we're three and a half hours from home. The giant cross. Giant cross, yeah.

Laurence Holmes 3:44

It still weirds me out that the signs start to say Memphis, like in town. I'm like, Memphis? What the hell? Where am I going?

Marshall Harris 3:52

You have the junction right there. Yep.

What insights do the hosts provide about the Cubs' performance expectations?

Marshall Harris 3:55

You can choose your own adventure. It's great. I actually drove... Brazil.

Laurence Holmes 4:01

Canada. What else are the signs going to say?

Marshall Harris 4:04

We had tickets to a Tyson fight. The Tyson-Lewis fight in Memphis. And we got to the end of the... The people who were giving us the tickets didn't give us the tickets until Thursday. And the fight was Saturday. And so it was like... Who's going to take these tickets? I was like, I'll go. I'll drive down there to Memphis and watch the fight. And that's when I got to see Halle Berry up close. What a time. Yes, Ray. Yes. She's as beautiful as you think. And even more.
