Rahimi Harris and Grody I don't want to break time I want to yell a person Can we handle more Anthony Heron? Midday's 10 to 2 on 104 3 the score This is Rahimi

Harris and Grody on 1043 The Score And it's not Chris Tanna Hill's Goodfellas treatment Mark did make a cameo in that for DJ yesterday It's not Tyler Bueberbaugh's open that he produced for us

where you made an appearance in that as well It was a beautiful open. It was indeed. This is Mark Rody, Dan Weiderer, and DJ Moore, the greatest hits. It's an album. It is. It's Time Life. You know, they're going to scroll across your screen in yellow font.

Only one font because it's the 70s. And only four songs right now on the album, it looks like. Yeah, so you're not getting an anthology. Oh, five, my bad. Like you would in Time Life. But this is what we have. Because you guys did play what I call some verbal judo. You three.

Well, what happens? What happens is, and I guess I should take this as a compliment, and so should weeder. Whizzie! Or as Mark has been lovingly referring to him the past couple of weeks. The man who can get you things. Just troublemaker. When players start to get comfortable with you as a reporter, it works in a lot of different ways. It allows the fun to happen, and sometimes it allows.

the player to shoot back at the reporters in serious moments because there were serious moments like that with DJ Moore where he felt comfortable going at Dan or I and always kind of with a wink and a playful side to it. But sometimes we get serious. I think, I think though that is a more sign of respect when you can have that kind of exchange with people. First of all, for the player to actually want to talk to you in that way, that means there's a level of trust and understanding there. And so that's what I always appreciated about it. Like I used to say this all the time, having worked in a lot of different baseball clubhouses, the good part is when they're giving you hell.

That means that they're comfortable with you. And you've got to be ready, though. And that's what Weeds and I, and I'm sure other reporters in that locker room learned with DJ Moore, got to be ready for, I don't know, antics. And I also think to add to it, you know, DJ Moore is from Philadelphia. Yeah. where the relationship with sports and sports fans and sports talk radio is probably the most extreme of our business. He doesn't suffer fools and nor do most citizens of Philadelphia, which you could speak on as well.

Amen. So it'll make you better, as we like to say. So let's start with greatest hit number one, track one, DJ Moore with Mark Grody after the Brown's game. Did you need a game like that? Did I need a game? Yeah. For what? Just in terms of all of us talking about the lack of targets that you've had.

relative the past years? I mean, if you say so, will it shut you all up? Perhaps. It ain't going to shut you all up. I mean, felt good. Always good to score at home, especially twice, and this time I'm not going to get fine.

So I'm good. See, he knew what I was talking about. You can hear the smile, I think, in that. And also, that is Jason Leisure in the background. I have mistaken him for Chris Emma earlier, but no. Right. And he said it won't. Shut us. I'm sorry, Tyler, to do this, but play it won't. Just so people, listen for the leisure comment, too. I'm getting all the credit for this, but leisure is too.

Did you need a game like that? Did I need a game? Yeah. For what? Just in terms of all of us talking about the lack of targets that you've had relative the past years? I mean, if you say so, will it shut y'all up? Perhaps. It ain't going to shut y'all up, so. Not likely.

I mean, it felt good. Always good to score at home, especially twice. This time I'm not going to get fine. So I'm good. Sounds good. Honesty from Jason Leisure. And I think he was correct. It was not going to shut any of us up.

Oh, yeah. Leisure had my back. Shall we go to track two on this list here? On the anthology? Yes. That's what I call DJ Moore, Volume 10. Wait, aren't they up to like volume 198 or something? This song right here has been on the charts for a year now.

Top five. I think it was the number one single for a record amount of weeks. And that is this song. Here's how gratifying is it on WSDR the score. How gratifying is it when you win that battle and get the football thrown to you? What? How gratifying is it? Does it please you?

Man, when you win your 101, it's a big play to be made because, you know, you just got that one person to beat. Once you do it, you got grass to run. What? What? What? I'm not used to hearing it naturally anymore. Yeah, the full context. See, that's the beauty of the score.

So much is just, there's so many drops and so much taken out of context, when you actually hear the whole thing. It's like, oh, that's what that is. Also, they're up to volume 122. Now that's what I call music. Nice. Yeah, a lot of the songs that you like are on here, Grady, because I know you're a big top 40 guy.

I do, I do like to take in B-96. I do. A lot of Rihanna. Yeah, Rihanna. Let's see. I don't see it immediately, but that's enough to say

it's not on here. There's 41 tracks. So like Ray, where is my husband is on here? Louis Capaldi, Ed Sheeran, Olivia Dean, the man I need.

Oh, I love Olivia Dean. So talented. Louis Capaldi again, like I said, Chapel Rhone, Sabrina Carpenter, Lady Gaga. Pig Pony Club.

Right down the block. Daisies by Justin Bieber. But that's not the anthology that you asked for. No. You didn't ask for this either. but we're doing it no matter what here on this time life music greatest hits what's our next song it's a very popular song how could anyone forget the famous does it please me featuring dan

weeder does it please you i mean is that so hot dude doesn't please me but it's good to see uh good to hear him out there doing that and uh that means he's doing growth see that and that's why now now the previous traction make more sense to people. That's why when I did gratifying, I went, did it please you as a backup? And he gave me the little laugh because he remembered that from Weedsie. Neither are appropriate. Well, he made it inappropriate.

He didn't have that. See, this is DJ messing with us. I'm just following his lead. Oh, I got you. Also, let's not forget that DJ raised the goat of hard knocks. Ariel, his daughter, who is the one who came up with such challenges. as let's get a bunch of sour candy and eat it. Oh yeah, that's right.

Ariel Moore is a star. Adorable. Absolutely. The hardest job there is is raising a well-adjusted child, and that I admire incredibly. The Moore family saved that season of Ardnax because the Bears really wanted to make it as mundane as possible. Yeah, seriously. Yeah, if DJ Moore and his family hadn't gone to the museum of ice cream,

would we have even had a hard-knock season? Anyone? one. Ariel Moore should have started every episode. I liked it. What do we have here? All right. Next on our greatest hits. To the B-side right here, ladies and gentlemen. This one didn't make the charts, I don't think, but it low-key, maybe like it's a favorite. It's a popular one. Hey, here is DJ Moore My Feet on 104-3 the score.

Specific example of some of the route precision. I can tell you from my perspective, I slipped twice this year. And I usually don't never do that. And the one in Philly was bad and can't have that no more. I mean, that's out of your control, right? No, that's not out of my control. They my feet. What you mean?

What you mean? Like, so when I slipped, I already knew I was like, man. And they threw the ball. I was like, please just don't pick it. And let's try to move on from that. Right cleats? Did the feet have the right cleats? All my cleats is the right cleats.

Nike is the right way. but yeah it didn't have nothing to do with the cleats it was just me and how i i was coming out the rewit cleats as somebody who loves nike but also has pairs of adidas and new balance i do like i do like them all yeah all my cleats is the right cleats yeah yeah sorry i would i would believe him they're my feet that's i do have more nikes than other shoes they my feet it's so good see see why that's like the hipsters really like that song really like like that track right there. That's a deep cut. Right, because the what and the grad, are you gratified? Does it please you like? Those are the ones that are played over and over and over again that people

still like. It's like Rianna. But this one, a little bit more low key, a little more luminaires, WXRT. I do love the WXRT, Mark Grody, DJ. I know. Whoa. Whoa. Do we have any more songs? We do. I was going to say I don't see the other. And here's number five in the DJ Moore, Mark Grody, Greatest Hits. anthology. Would you like to tell the people what it is? I gotta be honest with you. I remember, but don't remember a little bit. This one says, ladies and gentlemen, it's Mark Grotty interview with DJ Moore on not making the top 100 on the score. Never really made it before. This year, I mean, it was the chances up there, like high chances and I didn't make it. And

I was like, hmm, well, all right. I mean, I really, I really, don't really, it's really not no hard feeling. I just got to go out there and do what I did this year, even, even better next year. But you did put the Joker meme up. Yeah, that's for next year. Oh, that's, like a warning? Yeah, that's like a warning. Yeah, that's like a warning to be on standby. Do you feel like you get, you know, your career high in yards, 1300 yards, it's obviously been a good year. Do you think to yourself, what do I got to do? Yeah. Technically, like, what more do I got to do? do I got to have the theatrics, the crazy celebrations, all that, to win over some more people. But, I mean, at the end of the day, I'm not doing that.

I'm just going to be myself. So that actually went through your head a little bit. Do I got to be one of those voiceless wide receivers, the quote-unquote diva, as they say? Yeah, kind of. You know, everybody that made it, some of them I want to say with divas, but, I mean, it is what it is. What point did you come back to, like, to level with it in your overall? okay with it and because you seem like you're not happy about it but at peace with it at this moment. I was at peace when it came out and I didn't make it.

I was just like, all right, got to go back and do better. That's like stairway to heaven. Long song right there. That's the one you got to really invest in. Choose your long song. See, if you're working at WXRIT Mark Grotie, this is when you'd go have your, if you were a cigarette smoke or you'd go have your cigarette break. Right.

Restroom break. The bathroom break, whatever is, smoke up a little bit. The champagne supernova, if you will. That song goes for like 12 minutes or something. Is that that that long of a song? No, it's like seven. I'm just exaggerating. But that is long.

To mess with the Oasis fans in the building. Yeah. How dare you, Leila? Yeah, the best. You can't talk bad about Oasis. Are they done again, by the way, Oasis, after all the rage this summer? I don't know. They were touring, so they, I think they patched it up at least for money's sake.

But their tour's over, right? They're not still out there, are they? They're not still going. I feel like, shall I feel like they? I feel like the brothers might be sick of each other again. I mean, they did stand. They did avoid each other on the stage, even in the shows that they did. You're on it, Mark Grady.

Following their massive 2025 reunion tour, Oasis is not expected to tour in 26, according to Liam Gallagher. But they said don't look back in anger. Well, that's at least the forecast for 2026. They followed the money. They realized after a while, they're like, okay, you guys can make a bill, though, here, go ahead and do it, and then go back. to hating each other and enjoying your money and saying hilarious things online.

Take down the Wonderwall for the tour, then build the Wonderwall back up. Oh, very good. Didn't he also just tour in like only the best cities? Weren't they like, oh, we're going to Chicago, New York, and L.A. Yeah, based in London and, yeah, done. You're right. They had 41 dates globally, including UK, Ireland, North America, very vaguely, and Mexico. Yeah, but I think you're right.

I think the United States, they only had like three cities. They probably, like, they took care of the Midwest via Chicago. They probably did something in L.A., right? And New York. That's probably it. Like Oasis isn't playing Cardinal Stadium or something? Yeah, you're not going to see them show up in Missouri. Cardinal Stadium. What am I thinking? Bush Stadium. Wow.

Yeah. Baseball brain hasn't fully loaded yet, and I'm sorry. You know, well, you've got the WBC this weekend to satisfy your baseball. Yeah, I still feel bad that I didn't mention Benji Gill is the manager of Team Mexico. I brought up to Mexico and I didn't either. It's okay. Shout up, Javier, Sad. Shout out Javier's side. Shout out, Javier. Shaddao, Habi. What's up, baby? Also, I like that I haven't had to think about St. Louis in a while.

Why do you hate Chris Rangy so much? What is that? Various reasons. Yeah. I get it. Let's put together a list. Let's put together a five on it of reasons why we hate Chris Rangie. You know what? He's not going to care about it because he doesn't care about anything. No, he doesn't. Number one. And that's why I love him. I'm Mark Brody Light. You're damn right, you are.

Our friend Dan referred to him as a dry martini. Yeah, that's pretty good. I miss Chris. I haven't seen him in a while. Maybe you can tell me where the Cardinals play since I lost it there for a second. Lipsies. But Oasis wasn't going to go there. That's the point.

Oasis is like we're not going to St. Louis. Not going to happen. We're Oasis. And they said it in Les Grobstein voice. That's what I heard. I don't care what anybody says. They're not going to go to St. Louis. It's a.

And you, too, M. Milwaukee is never going to happen and you know it. KMA. Does less seem Wonderwall? You're my Wonderwall. I'd say more, but you know me. I ain't got the lyrics in my brain. You're my Wonderwall.
