| 0:11.3 | Hey there, I'm Rob from The Rob and Holly Show on US 99, and I stand up for my former friend and |
| 0:17.5 | co-worker Linda Lee, who lost her battle with lung cancer in 2017. |
| 0:22.6 | To donate now, visit Cubs for a cure.com or text the phrase, cure 25 to 4144. That's Cure 25 to 4144. |
| 0:36.0 | All right, this is a big hour for us. We've got a lot of really cool people coming in. We've got some unbelievable experiences. How about this? This will go quick, Spigs. PCA, who recorded the message for Robbie Jr. earlier, which was an incredible moment. That was a great moment this morning. He also autographed five baseballs for all of you. 300 bucks apiece. $300 donation for PCA. Guy should win MVP of the league. |

| 1:04.3 | $300 donations. Get it. This hour, the match by my new employer, FS1. FS1 put up 10 grand, |
| 2:02.2 | which I was really, really happy about and means a tremendous amount to me. They could not have been more supportive of this, and they just want to say that they hope all the Chicago tunes in to first things first. That is, well, and they're smart to do it. And they will. So that's great that FS1 and the score can come together along, of course, with the Cubs and everybody involved. This is a really cool thing. But right now in studio, because he is so generous and he has been a supporter now of three consecutive radiosthons, is our friend and yours, David Hockberg. How you doing, bud? Helped get me into my house. You're the man. If people need mortgages, you're the guy, Team Hockburg, and you put up the Hawksuit again with the dessert cart. With the dessert cart. And I'm going to throw in a bowl suite as well. Whoa! So it'll be, bowls haven't dropped their schedule yet. I'm still working on the Hawk schedule. So it'll be, I'm not going away, and'm not going away Christmas. So it'll be somewhere holiday time. |
| 2:00.8 | We're going to work out the dates with you, right? So that's six pairs for bulls also? Six pairs for bowls. Oh my goodness. So it's 2000 a pop. Yeah, it's 24 grand. So 24 grand we're going to try to raise through the Hockburg suite. So we got six pairs of bulls and I'll deal with you the brin and your team. |
| 2:56.2 | I will be in touch with you to confirm all of this on the back end. But the same guy who put up the Hock suite, he's good for the Bulls suite. So call up right now, 773-388-8-270 and tell them, I want to go to the Hockburg suite for Hawks, or I want to go to the Hawkburg suite for Bulls, and you'll take care. Food and booze and dessert cart, the whole shebang. And you'll work out the dates. It'll be around the holidays. You'll be in town. How's cancer impacted you? My mom. My mom lost my mom to lung cancer. Yeah. So I'll never forget the day we're at Glymberg Hospital and the doc said, it's terminal. |
