Why did Drew Dalman retire at 27 years old?
I call Drew Dahlman the Hulk.
He's the brains in all of it. But, you know, when he gets out there, you know, on the field, he's, you know, he's strong as can be, you know, fast and, you know, the right guy for the job, you know, for us and my future and our future here.
That was Caleb Williams talking about Drew Dahlman, and he also reacted to the reported news about Dahlman's retirement yesterday, tweeting Hulk with a sad emoji.
Sad Caleb.
Sad Caleb.
But he's still got the, who are the other guys? The one-arm guy or something? The one-arm guy? What are you talking about?
What insights did Caleb Williams share about Drew Dalman?
The Avengers? I thought in Tyler's Open, I heard Caleb describing somebody with one arm. Or maybe I'm just so sensitive to, maybe I'm projecting.
Yeah.
projecting on one arm? Do you think, Mark Grody, that you're walking around in your mind like you have one arm?
You're listening to an odyssey through Mark Grody's mind on 104.3 The Score.
It's quite the odyssey. Exactly. I thought, maybe I heard wrong.
Not A-U-D-A-C-Y.
Ozzy is obviously not really an Avengers, but Wolverine. I have Doctor Strange as Lefgar with Joe. I have obviously Hulk as center. I have the Red Hulk as Jonah. And then I have Darnell as Bucky because he has the one arm.
That's it. That's it. See, I am very sensitive to one arm guys. I put this together and I didn't even hear the one arm thing.
How does Drew Dalman's family background influence his decision?
All right, you're Bucky, Grody. Now it's you. Bucky LaRue, the one arm player on Family Guy.
Based on how you hear lyrics, this is actually a big win.
I guess you're right.
And Donnell Wright did basically play the entire season with one functioning arm.
Don't mess with me on one arm, guys. You know, you guys are right over me on a lot of stuff. But one arm guys, look at me, okay? Grody, who's on your Mount Rushmore of one arm guys? Name them right now. Sykes. Bucky. Bucky LaRue. But that's a no arm guy. That's a no arm. But Bucky the Avenger. Oh, yeah. Bucky the Avenger. So you got three. So I got one more.
I got nothing for you.
Who's my other one-arm guy? I'm trying to think. What about the other one-arm guy? 3, 1, 2, 6, 44, 67, 67. Who's Grody's fourth one-arm guy?
We have a selection here from the text line from 847. Winter Soldier has one mechanical arm.
There you go.
What are the health implications of playing football?
I have no idea, guys. My Marvel and that universe knowledge is terrible.
I'm not great at it either, but I know a one-armed guy when I see him.
It's probably insulting to Lawrence that I called it that universe.
See, if Marshall were here today, he would be able to help out with this conversation. That's true. Do we have a way to get Marshall on the show?
He's downstate. He's working on high school basketball.
Oh, is he in Bloomington Normal right now? Is that where he is? Is he in my own? Well, all of central Illinois. You're claiming all of it? Well, I've worked in Lincoln. I've worked in Peoria. I worked in Springfield. I worked in Bloomington Normal. Yeah, I got some anchors in central Illinois. Shout out to all our one-armed guys downstate. Yeah, shout out to all our one-armed guys downstate, y'all.
630 has the right answer. Drummer from Def Lepp.
Oh, that's it. That's it. The one-armed guy from Def Leppard.
Oh, 847 says Winter Soldier is Bucky. I'm so sorry, guys. My Marvel Universe is really bad.
With all the two-armed players that have existed in baseball, why, why, why would you put a no-armed guy at second base? Why? Why? That's from Family Guy. I always get the name wrong. Is it Bucky LaRue? Let's hope so. It's some form of that.
There's a Family Guy for everything.
There really is a Family Guy for everything. But I think it's Bucky LaRue.
How does Drew Dalman's education impact his career choices?
But we'll figure that out. No arms, nothing.
How do you file stuff?
Well, I guess per... Mentally. Like, how does that happen? So you're asking me to tell you how my brain works?
A little bit.
I mean, I don't know. You would probably be better at telling me how, as a radio partner, like, understanding my isms and the way I comport myself and things that come out of my mouth. I don't know. I don't know my own psychological profile. That's up to other people. It's Bucky LaGrange. Bucky LaGrange.
