Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Our most sincere thank you to Adam Amin for coming in yesterday in our studio and sharing stories about Stacey King. If you missed it, strongly recommend checking it out on our Odyssey app, on our Rewind feature, and also our featured clips. This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 104.3 The Score. On this Wednesday, Mark Grody is in, Layla Rahimi is in with you, and...
Last night, I know we're on an office kick, Mark. I know you love watching The Office. I do too. We talk about it a lot. We heard Tyler Buderbaugh's open where The Office was mentioned yet again. That was fantastic. But...
If last night wasn't watching the Cubs and the Sox at the same time last night, if that was not the episode of dueling Christmas parties where you have Angela's Christmas party, the Nutcracker Christmas, and that's the Cubs game. And then you have Margarita karaoke Christmas for the Sox 80s broadcast. I don't know what is that was.
That was clearly the winner was Sox game 80s broadcast Braden Montgomery out of a movie. Get the call up and then walk it off with your first career home run being the day you get called up in a walk-off situation. You could not have written it better last night.
No, you could not have. And I guess the one good thing about what you were saying with the dueling games is it made it a lot easier to know which game to follow. focus on, because that is always... I have two conundrums during Cubs and White Sox. You don't know which game to focus on. You have to kind of guess.
You have to kind of feel your way through it, and you can have both on, but you know what I mean, that you can focus on it. It's also, Layla, very difficult for me to get my daily dose of office episodes in while I'm trying to watch a Cubs game and a White Sox game. But no, barely a problem. Yeah, it's like you're watching Eduardo Julien hitting another... RBI hit. A new Cubs killer is born.
Getting the Joey Weamer award.
Is that word of who Julianne left? Weamer! Not Weamer! Weamer is the opening day enemy of the Cubs and Matthew Boyd. Oh my goodness.
Getting the who's this guy today.

Chapter 2: What exciting moment did Braden Montgomery achieve in his MLB debut?
They did a lot of the double steal. They did a lot of the bunts. They did a lot of the hit and run. That was very much a part of that team. And I see it. I see the reflections of that time in how he manages a game. But for him to say, this wasn't the right thing to do. The fact that we were talking about a...
Braves team that is arguably, it's either them or the Dodgers, as the far and away best team in baseball. They outlasted Matt Olsen with two home runs. When you look at it on its face, this is an absolutely fabulous mark for the Sox. Best win all season. You were playing the team that nobody thinks that you're going to get a win in this series, much less
you know, get swept, of course, and then to have the walk-off the way you did on 80s night, first game of the series, you call it Braden Montgomery. I don't know how many more games it takes for us to not only appreciate what the Sox are doing as a whole and say, every single day you're showing us why you are more and more for real.
Right, Lailin, you've done a good job of putting forth evidence to that end because I believe it was you, and I think Marshall was here as well. It's hard to keep track around here. But I said to you, and it was both of you, that the White Sox, everybody says, what a fun story. What a fun team. When does it move over to a winning team, a team that should be going to the playoffs?
Because right now we're all into the story. This is another inflection point in the story of the Chicago White Sox. And I'm not sure... If this is the year that the Sox actually go to the postseason, but they are definitely putting something in place that is legitimate.
You know, my therapist says you take your wins where you get them. And if they aren't doing that very thing every single day, but to get the extra innings, 6-5, 10 innings walk-off win against this Braves team on 80s night at home, when you're not afraid of calling up your people, by the way,
14 major league debuts?
I'm looking in the direction of the north side. When you're not afraid to call up your people and be like, hey, when we called you up, we meant it. You're in the lineup, and you're going to go out there, and you're going to get something done. And that's exactly what happened. I mean, they are rising to the occasion here, and we're seeing it happen in these moments.
Absolutely. And the Will Venable part of this as well, like throughout his first year. Last year was his first year, right? Will Venable? Yes. It's hard to keep track because of all the losing that had happened.

Chapter 3: How did the White Sox perform against the Braves in the recent game?
I mean, just going to be another round of people shooting me in the head because of my prediction, but that's fine. I'll take it for the team.
Chapter 4: What challenges did the White Sox manager face during the game?
That's what I do for this show. Tyler, write that down.
That's why you have to say in the declaration that you're closing the portal. But here's the problem. The other teams have to stop doing the things that we're doing in order for that to happen. I'm not going to cubs this segment. Let's get to the, and we'll get to the 80s part of the broadcast, the sights and sounds in our next segment. But how perfect is this?
Listen to Bob Costas and Steve Stone on the call for the walk-off.
And what a Major League debut.
Braden Montgomery, remember the name. This guy can play. He's a member of the organization brought up as a first-year player, the 12th first-year player for the Sox this year.
His new teammates, some of whose names he may not yet know, all waiting for him at the plate.
Is that not incredible to hear Bob Costas and Steve Stone in that moment for this?
So he's now called, Bob Costas is now called epic moments for the Chicago Cubs, the Chicago White Sox, and the Chicago Bulls on the Jordan final shot.
Every time I see that shot that Jordan takes, I hear Costas' call.

Chapter 5: How did Braden Montgomery's performance impact the team's morale?
You have all these things occur. Braden Montgomery gets called up, and that day he's starting. And then he walks it off. Like, on no planet are you saying this favors the White Sox. And then, lo and behold, everything came true. It's just incredible.
Somehow, someway, it did.
It did. And it was a fun broadcast.
Is it true that Brandon Isert wants to trademark the Iceman, too? Hey, just keep doing what you're doing out there.
We got to send you to Sox and just stir the pot.
Yeah, it's time.
If nothing else, to annoy Bruce Levine on the same night.
He's like, what are you doing here?
