Oh, I'll tell you what, Thursday

1:00

was an incredible day.

1:03

I spent the day I did

1:05

a little time capsule with my kids, took

1:08

a video of them being like, hey,

1:10

today we're drafting Caleb Williams and we're going to watch

1:12

this video in 20 years. They couldn't get a rate

1:14

test. They're like, who are you talking about? But

1:17

then Friday, getting to hear

1:19

you guys interview Caleb Williams at Buffalo Wild

1:21

Wings was incredible. You know, you're

1:23

here and we wait to rub it

1:25

in. Tyler knows me well, but he doesn't know me

1:28

well enough. He can't you can't tell me that Tyler

1:30

as we're walking in. He told me that.

1:32

That was good content we were right there. I teach you up, you

1:34

had it. You told him to say

1:36

that. No, he didn't tell me to say it. He

1:38

just said how'd last week go. And

1:40

then he mentioned that and I was like, great, I'm going

1:42

to lead off with that. We don't know. We didn't tell

1:44

him the little moment. How from the street. Did you tell

1:47

him any of the highlights? I told him we were at

1:49

the Bears draft party. It was a great time. Huge. I

1:51

mean, you guys have been doing this a long

1:54

time. I've

1:56

been doing this a long time. There's just nothing

1:58

more frustrating when that. happens and there's

2:00

nothing you can do because we're not smart. You're

2:02

just getting your car and getting out an hour-long

2:05

traffic to get back to the city. Yeah just

2:07

stare at the tech guy being like just plug

2:09

it in plug it back and I plug it

2:11

out take it out plug it back in. It's

2:13

on fire Ben Cass. Like why can't you guys

2:15

figure this out? And uh, but yeah, no last

2:17

week was incredible. It couldn't have gone better The

2:21

fact that we got Rome at 9. I

2:23

know you guys just talked to polls I have a

2:25

theory my guy Ryan polls where I close

2:27

personal friend Ryan Paul, of course Um

2:30

guys vacationing together these days. I

2:32

should have asked. He's going to the F1. He's

2:34

going to Miami Yeah, the F1 race. It's so

2:36

Miami. Oh my god. I went there last year

2:38

for the F1. It was so hot Not for

2:40

big guys. No, no, but he's not a big

2:42

guy anymore. He's slim. He's not a big guy

2:44

anymore. I'm talking about myself So

2:48

I have a theory that Ryan polls because of everything

2:50

that he's done in the last two years Has

2:53

been so great I'm starting

2:55

to think that he did the chase clay pool

2:57

deal on purpose to get everyone off the fence

3:00

He was like what's the dumbest move I can make?

3:03

And everyone will look at me like I'm I don't

3:05

know what i'm doing and that i'm like a cheap

3:07

mark And then everything else has

3:09

worked out since then it was So

3:12

i'm now counting the chase clay pool trade

3:14

as a positive for Ryan polls because that

3:16

was all part of the plan So let's

3:19

trade with polls Because we will

3:21

probably win the trade. They're like this guy

3:23

got gave up a second chase clay pool

3:25

Like carolina's thinking that they're like, well, we'll

3:27

win this deal No problem the gm for

3:29

the panthers probably went to david tepron They're

3:31

like look I know it seems like a

3:34

lot but this guy in chicago doesn't know

3:36

what he's doing And that's all he was

3:38

just getting everyone to in the montes sweat.

3:40

Like it's just he's a genius. He's a

3:42

genius It's a good. It's a

3:44

good philosophy because if you think

3:46

about their coaching staff, they worked with

3:48

eberflux too, right? So they're probably saying

3:51

look polls just traded for chase clay

3:53

pool Eberflux isn't long for that

3:55

job either. We can fleece. He got everyone

3:57

off the scent. He did it right away,

3:59

too so that you know, it doesn't hurt

4:01

them long term. It was in the path. It

4:03

was genius. Everything after that happened

4:05

because of the clay pool. My

4:08

guess is too that you have punter

4:10

fever as well, don't you? Yeah, now

4:12

that one, the punter and I

4:14

get it because the draft got a little weak

4:16

in the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh round. And

4:19

you're taking best player available. We had a

4:21

punter problem and we needed a new punter

4:24

and this guy's good. I mean an Iowa

4:26

punter is like, it's like the

4:28

old school, like, you know, you're taking a linebacker

4:30

for Penn State or like a, you know, defensive

4:32

back from LSU. You're taking an Iowa punter. That's

4:34

the cream of the crop. Does

4:37

feel though. Are you concerned though that he

4:39

doesn't have many kicks left in his leg

4:41

after the four years at Iowa? He's ready

4:43

to go. Okay. He's been all punted out.

4:45

Punted a lot. It does

4:47

feel though, it was funny to have the punter be

4:49

selected in the fourth round because that does feel like

4:52

a cherry on an ice cream sundae, like that's the

4:54

last move you make to go win a Super Bowl.

4:56

And we're like, let's go win a Super Bowl. We got our

4:59

punter now. That's what Wattle said.

5:01

It's an arrogant pick because of that. It was a little

5:03

bit of a heat check pick. Yeah, it was. I

5:06

called it an arrogant pick. I wish I could

5:09

have stolen your line with the heat check pick.

5:11

It was. They're really when they do it. They're

5:13

like, they're just going to do this and it's

5:15

probably going to work. Not to mention you've just

5:17

loaded your offensive huddle with weapons. So here's hoping

5:20

you're not going to ever punt. Right. And by

5:22

the way, in the NFL these days you go

5:24

for it on fourth down every day. Sure. But

5:26

I mean a good punter, these playoffs. I get

5:28

it. Yeah. We what punter I think

5:31

it was actually wasn't the Super Bowl. I

5:33

don't know one of the two punters. I don't

5:35

remember the punters. I think it was the 49ers

5:37

punter was doing like an insane job and had

5:39

the Chiefs. They locked up. Yeah, they did

5:41

lose but not because of the punter. Okay, not

5:43

because the punter kept him in the game. Yeah,

5:46

it's I said big head. It's bizarro Hester. You

5:48

know what I mean? Like, yeah, we when we

5:50

get good. We have to trick it up some

5:52

way. Yeah, you got to get the special teams

5:54

going. Yeah, so I'm so excited. I mean, I

5:57

think Caleb Williams is going to be talked about

5:59

it for two months. because we knew he was going to be

6:01

the pick for two months. I think

6:03

he's going to be incredible. I also love that

6:05

we didn't trade up to get Roma Junze because

6:07

that, to me, the draft is no one

6:10

knows how these guys are going to turn out. But

6:12

more than anything, it's can you do

6:15

a good job of not making a trade

6:17

that you don't need to make and looking

6:19

back and being like, man, we probably could

6:21

have gotten our guy without having to give

6:23

up more draft caps. Now that it's said

6:25

and done, can you believe

6:27

even going back a couple of months

6:29

that people were dead set, convinced

6:32

that the Bears weren't going to pay

6:34

Justin and Jeff Cordova? I mean, I was

6:36

in the fall, I liked Drake May because

6:38

I watched him a lot at UNC. So

6:41

yeah, I mean, but he ever knew that

6:43

we're going to move on from Justin sooner

6:45

rather than later. That part seems so silly

6:47

looking back that there was this Bears civil

6:49

war going on. And I mean,

6:51

even Caleb having the Chicago shirt on underneath

6:53

his suit, like he knew, I

6:56

actually thought the only mistake the Bears made on draft

6:58

night was putting out that video of

7:01

polls and Kevin Warren and Eberfluz talking to Caleb

7:03

Williams because he seemed not enthused, but the whole

7:06

reason he wasn't enthused is because he knew it

7:08

was gonna pay for two months. I liked the

7:10

phone call. Are you talking about the phone call

7:12

though? I liked the phone call. But that one

7:14

specifically, like usually you get the guy, he's like,

7:17

oh my God, I'm so excited. No idea I

7:19

was going here. Who is that?

7:21

Ryan Poulson had to say to Caleb Williams, like the

7:23

NFL is going to make us wait five minutes to

7:25

put in the pick. He

7:28

was like, okay, sounds good. We all knew it was

7:30

gonna happen. I loved it. The beginning

7:32

of the hello game. Yeah. I

7:36

laughed. Hello? Yeah. Hello? Who's

7:40

this? Who's this? Who's this?

7:42

Who's this? It's kind of awkward. You

7:46

know what it's like? It's

7:48

like two people who

7:50

just started dating who are

7:52

totally just, head over heels.

7:55

And they're just, they can't wait to

7:58

talk next and they're goofing on each other.

8:00

probably talked that morning. It probably talked the

8:02

day before. For sure. Hitting with you up.

8:04

Yeah. You ready to go? You up? Yeah,

8:07

but it was a great day. Okay, so now

8:09

can you solve the stadium issue? Now to move

8:11

on to bigger and better things. Can you serve

8:13

as stadium consultant? I mean, what's even gonna happen?

8:16

I don't even. I guess we did talk

8:18

before. People got

8:21

mad at me, because I was like, where are you gonna

8:23

park? And like, oh, public transit. But it's still a football

8:25

game. You want tailgate? Of course. Of

8:27

course. They're like, oh, would you say that

8:29

for the Cubs? The Cubs are different. That's not a football

8:31

game. They don't care about parking. The organization,

8:33

they're like. Correct. Yeah, they're like. But

8:36

like, fans care about parking. Of course.

8:38

I'm sorry to say. Well, you're

8:41

taking away more tailgate spots and

8:43

we've never tailgated for Cubs games.

8:45

Right. Do you know what

8:47

I am? Right, you tailgated the bars for Cubs

8:49

games. Right. If a round soldier

8:51

field was built up with like 15, 20

8:53

bars, then I

8:56

would be like, okay, you know what? That's fine. And

8:58

we're gonna take public transit. We've been

9:00

used to it. We've always been shortchanged

9:02

on the tailgates thing. And now

9:04

they're going to take more away from us. I'm

9:06

about to buy a boat. You

9:08

look, you're in boat territory. I'm about to buy

9:11

a boat. I don't go to games

9:13

anyway. So I'm the last person to talk to. I

9:15

just don't know. Listen, I have vacillated just

9:18

uncontrollably. I was all in. Oh, this is

9:21

definitely gonna happen at Arlington Heights. Oh, Kevin

9:23

Warren's the president. There's no chance he wants

9:25

to go to Arlington Heights. He wants to

9:27

build downtown. Now

9:30

the downstate Springfield is like,

9:32

I'm not giving you any money. Right. And

9:35

now, so is Arlington Heights still lurking?

9:38

Oh yeah. They still think that

9:40

they're, again, like

9:42

the relationship here, they still think that the jilted

9:45

lover, they're playing the role of jilted lover. They're

9:47

gonna get back together. Because if Arlington Heights still

9:49

happens, you know what you could do? Is you

9:51

could still do this plan without a stadium there

9:53

and make some beautiful parks and have it be,

9:57

they must've said the word kids a hundred times

9:59

in that press. Sure, sure, but

10:01

that was a political rally. Yeah, I did

10:04

the the the the priests doing a prayer

10:06

and being like I guess we

10:08

do probably need all the help we can get to be praying

10:10

for wins and civilian from the

10:15

No, but uh, yeah, I I

10:17

don't know. I just want a resolution. I think you

10:19

guys probably agree Yeah, plan and let's just go with

10:21

big cat. I said the same to Waddle. I don't

10:23

know like Where this

10:25

is going. Is this something that is just

10:28

Negotiating tactics where it starts here

10:30

then eventually the gap will close

10:33

and they'll come to an agreement

10:35

Or is this truly a non-starter and will

10:38

never get off the ground? right and then

10:40

they go back to Arlington Heights or is

10:42

this something that None of

10:44

them is really a good solution And

10:47

when it comes to it like the Bears

10:49

should realize that the only thing fans care

10:51

about is like we just want a good

10:54

Like state-of-the-art stadium. I don't care where you put

10:56

it. I just want a good state of the

10:58

art stadium That's better. Just figure it out. Don't

11:01

draw this out. Don't go back and forth We

11:03

don't care about all the negotiations. Just give us

11:06

a fisitatively art stadium. Give us a final four

11:08

Give us a super. Give us a big 10

11:10

championship. Give us those things You don't think you'd

11:12

go to more like you said you don't go

11:14

to games anyway You don't think you'd go to

11:17

games now that they're indoors. I gotta work. Oh,

11:20

that's true Monday night Monday night

11:22

football game I if we have when our schedule

11:24

comes out if there's a Monday night football game

11:26

I might try to get to one you don't

11:28

be more now Yeah, you have a window into

11:30

what you think Kevin Warren wants I don't think

11:33

there's any way they're letting go of the concept

11:35

of being on the lakefront So

11:37

I don't think like I'm still in the

11:39

camp that day will find a way. This

11:41

is just the start of negotiations And that's

11:43

how somehow some way that you

11:46

know People are gonna have to give

11:48

a little bit here and a little bit there But

11:50

at the end of the day, I don't

11:52

see Kevin Warren taking no for an answer

11:55

You may have to Video board in Arlington

11:57

Heights and have it be a live shot of the

11:59

lake right behind the stadium

12:01

they do that with all these studio shows now

12:03

like if you watch greedy in the morning they're

12:06

not looking out now on the East River

12:09

there's a there's a video feed in the air

12:11

right those aren't real window right so

12:14

why can't we just do the same there's build a

12:16

video board put us on the lakefront in Arlington I

12:19

do you want to be part of the group that

12:21

we've put together to buy the land in Arlington Heights

12:23

and build whatever we want out there we get a

12:25

racetrack yes we're gonna redo it I'm

12:29

in charge of the redo what we're in

12:31

what would you want out there a racetrack

12:33

yeah okay yeah do you trust Eddie Odom be

12:36

the one that I can do it all works

12:38

okay I'll let you know after the Kentucky

12:40

Derby how much I'm ready to donate do

12:43

you have a favorite that you're willing to share I

12:45

don't know or a choice well I mean it's a

12:47

weird race because uh Baffert is

12:50

out again he's still if he's still

12:52

down from Kentucky not sorry enough is

12:55

what this is like Sammy Sosa

12:57

yeah no he had a two-year man and then

12:59

they had an option for a third option

13:02

for a third year ban and they basically was

13:04

like he's not contrite enough so

13:07

he has three horses that would be in

13:09

this race but none of them are running

13:11

they're not running so the race is a

13:13

little weird where the the the favorite fierceness

13:15

is like if they all

13:17

run their fastest race he should win easily

13:20

it's not like the deepest field I'm

13:23

gonna go to the Belmont though yeah

13:26

in a couple weeks in a month I

13:28

love horse sure Churchill we've been there

13:31

I mean it's it's it's it's a

13:33

dump yeah you

13:36

know is is the cream of the crop

13:38

that Keeneland is Wrigley Field yes yeah that's

13:40

what I like I've never been to Saratoga

13:42

I know you and I've talked about here

13:44

too but that's what I envisioned Saratoga being

13:46

like keen yes exactly it's very much like

13:48

that so yeah well I'm gonna I love

13:50

Kentucky Derby weekend always feels like it's the

13:52

beginning of summer yes that's what I said

13:54

I wish they still had the big fight

13:57

they usually you know remember when Mayweather used

13:59

to fight on on this weekend it'll be like

14:01

playoff games right mother's day right there would

14:03

be a big Bulls game on Mother's Day

14:05

then remember

14:07

any of that when's the last time we had a

14:10

big Bulls game on Mother's Day

14:14

speaking of fights are you into this Jake

14:16

Paul Mike Tyson thing now they can knock

14:18

each other out yeah also that's but

14:21

I'm wearing head now that they can

14:23

knock each other out fight uh

14:26

Mike Tyson did a fight with

14:28

someone was it also a Paul brother

14:30

I can't remember wasn't officially

14:32

sanctioned so they couldn't knock

14:34

each other on his one is sanctioned is what

14:37

is sanctioned so they can knock each other out

14:39

but they're playing with the playing with they're using

14:41

the heavier gloves yeah which means it'll be harder

14:43

than not to be harder to knock somebody yeah

14:45

I mean I'm of the age that I remember

14:47

Mike Tyson's career in the end of it and

14:49

being like we got to buy this

14:51

pay-per-view because what if what if he just knocked someone

14:53

out so I've I've I've given

14:55

up a lot of money to watch Mike

14:58

Tyson even though I know nothing's gonna happen

15:00

then I'll do it again this is what

15:02

I asked Waddle what will be the more

15:04

entertaining Netflix event the Brady roast

15:06

or the Tyson fight he's doing a roast

15:08

yeah I didn't know you until last week

15:10

either it's this weekend I think it's this

15:12

weekend who's roasting them I

15:14

heard Nikki Glaser is gonna be a part

15:17

of it Jeff Ross is gonna be a

15:19

part of it Edelman I think Belichick is

15:21

gonna be a part of it I'll check

15:24

Ross then hopefully there's like no rules yeah

15:26

he's behind it you'll know if

15:28

there's some Alex Guerrero jokes or not yeah I

15:30

feel like that will be the telltale like whether

15:32

or not there's no rule no because they get

15:34

really nasty I know

15:38

great I know I used to the

15:40

Comedy Central roasts back in the day

15:42

we're outstanding yeah when you have

15:44

the comedians who have no connection to

15:46

who's being roasted that's awesome yeah I

15:48

agree so I get a lot of

15:51

good opportunities for the flight gate and

15:53

ball jokes yeah hopefully yeah but that

15:55

that feels like if it's the flake

15:58

a ball jokes have to It feels

16:00

like that will be like, oh, that's censored when they

16:02

start getting to Alex Guerrero and like deeper into that

16:04

and maybe like karate instructors It's

16:14

like I know they're holding something back here You

16:16

know rose because a true rose, but

16:18

he then gets to go back at everyone Yes, at

16:20

the end go to them is Tom had any work.

16:22

Do you has he had any plastic surgery? Would you

16:25

get I don't think so what really I'm joking What

16:34

about the Cubs they just lost Extra

16:37

innings the bullpen drives me crazy even though

16:39

they didn't allow a run last night No

16:41

that it was it felt like today's loss

16:43

was last night's loss like we should have

16:45

probably lost my old game Yeah, um, yeah

16:48

We got to pick up some arms in the bullpen because

16:50

it's like you can't I mean showed it was awesome last

16:52

night And then we're sitting there like are we gonna lose

16:54

this game? But are

16:56

you gonna get arms at this point? That's what I'm saying. Yeah,

16:58

where are you getting them? We don't even the arms are us.

17:00

Yeah, we'll go to the arms. Yeah the arm store. Uh, They're

17:04

good The cops are

17:06

yeah and for not playing that

17:08

well except for the starting pitching right? They're

17:10

good Like happens in hitting

17:13

Swanson isn't hitting Morelle and

17:15

now it's hard to get a little hot They're

17:17

good for them to be what are they now 19 and 13 is that what

17:19

it is? Yeah back to weekend

17:21

series against the Brewers Brewers. I think I'm gonna

17:24

take my daughter drew a first game Oh, wow

17:26

thinking that's gonna be about three innings at

17:28

most. That's okay, though Yeah, do will she

17:30

will she be in charge of the split

17:33

the pot purchases as well? Listen, my son's

17:35

a mush So yeah, we gotta keep going

17:37

down the line. See what happens with

17:39

her Be great. She

17:41

might say love that you call your son a

17:43

money is He's gonna pick over

17:45

he's gonna pick a horse this weekend. He hasn't won

17:47

any of those every time Let him

17:49

know that he's a mush Um,

17:52

does he know? Eventually,

17:54

I mean look Apple

17:56

doesn't fall far from the tree. So it

17:58

can't be like Are you a mush? Yeah.

18:02

I mean, come on. You know I am. Did

18:04

you? Did you? That

18:06

Yukon money's gone. Yes! Come on. Come

18:09

on. What was that, 115? It's

18:11

gone. On what? The playoffs have not been

18:13

good to me. NBA? Yeah, you're lying.

18:15

You're in the Sixers tonight, right? NBA

18:18

baseball. Would you have money on the

18:20

Suns? No, I didn't

18:22

have money on the Suns. I did maybe for one of

18:24

the games. I did bet against

18:26

them in the last game because I thought they quit. But

18:30

yeah, listen, it's all an ebb and flow. We'll

18:32

get back. You have the Sixers tonight? I think

18:34

so. I saw your tweet about that. I think

18:36

so. I haven't decided yet. Convection is just astounding.

18:38

I don't know. Joe Embiid is just like

18:41

all he does is run out of gas. And

18:43

dirty. He's the king of dirty plays. Oh

18:45

yeah. He's doing WWE right now,

18:47

which I kind of like that because I love

18:49

watching a series, especially when you're not involved and

18:52

there's true bad blood. That

18:55

makes great theater. This

18:57

series has been awesome to watch. In

19:00

all honesty, what were your thoughts of Jalen

19:02

Brunson prior to a year or two ago?

19:05

I love Jalen Brunson because I watched him

19:07

at Villanova and was like, this guy's incredible.

19:09

So you thought also, Randy Merkin's the only

19:12

person we know that was projecting greatness. I

19:14

didn't think he would be this level. I

19:16

thought he was like a really, really good

19:18

point guard that you can win with, but

19:20

not what he's become where

19:22

he's like a 1A or a deep

19:24

playoff run type of guy. Listen,

19:28

Jalen Brunson was phenomenal before Tibbs. We

19:31

know what he does with point guards. Remember

19:33

the year when DJ Augustine was incredible? We

19:35

were just talking about Nate Robinson. He

19:39

gets the most out of the line. John Lucas,

19:41

the third one, a couple of games. And I

19:43

just watched him play. They play so tough and

19:45

they're just tacking the boards. I just miss that.

19:49

Too bad. Are

19:51

you aware, like this is very local, but

19:53

were you aware of the White

19:55

Sox announcement or sort of controversy?

19:58

No, what happened? All right. Obviously,

20:00

Jason Benetti left before this season.

20:04

Right. I knew that. He's a good designer. You

20:06

have a legend. We all

20:09

loved Benetti. Right. That's fine. Great guy.

20:11

So John, I

20:14

always miss Purney. Shriffin. Shriffin. I always

20:16

want to call him Shiffron. Shiffron is

20:18

what you've labeled him in the past.

20:20

So he, when the Sox

20:23

won their fifth, it was their fifth game,

20:25

I believe, against Tampa. I believe there

20:27

were five and 23. I've been betting

20:29

against the White Sox. That was why I lost a

20:31

lot last week. Oh, on the Tampa game. Game one

20:33

like six in a row. Yeah. Three. Three. We felt

20:35

like six. Yeah. Right. OK. So do you

20:37

have the first audio? We could play them both. So

20:40

this is his call as

20:42

they had the walk-off with the Ben and

20:45

Tendi home run against Tampa

20:47

to win their fifth game again, Big

20:49

Cat. Their row. They now improve to

20:51

five and 23 with a win. Is

20:54

it? Oh, Christmas. Show

20:56

the fans who are

20:59

the haters. Also, guys,

21:01

stand up. So

21:03

for all the haters, and that's what caught a

21:05

lot of Sox fans, I

21:08

don't understand that either. Like, who are the

21:10

haters? Well, this is to quote my co-host,

21:12

PFT, because he's a Washington Capitals fan. And

21:14

everyone was mad that the Capitals made the

21:16

playoffs, because they wanted the Red Wings in

21:18

the playoffs. So the Capitals stink. They're going

21:20

to get swept by the Rangers. They got

21:22

swept by the Rangers. Listen, to

21:25

all the haters out there, you got this one right.

21:27

Like, you got this one right. You were right. The

21:29

White Sox stink. Like, I don't know what he's saying.

21:31

The haters have been right. Well, the

21:33

haters are the fans. The

21:36

haters are the fans that have been by

21:38

this team's side for years. And they're correct.

21:40

Yeah. Like, they're not the haters. You can't

21:42

be like, the haters. Stuff

21:44

it in your face, haters. No, no, the haters

21:46

were right here. The White

21:48

Sox are back. Yes. So yeah. And then

21:51

so everyone's like. So we then, and then

21:53

someone tweeted him and said, hey, you made

21:56

them all mad with your call. And

21:58

He retweeted and said, good. Why? Are.

22:00

We are you doing Yeah okay I

22:03

22:05

23:23

I'm new here I was. As you

23:25

know it's frustrating. I got lost in

23:27

the moments. I know Sox fans are

23:29

dedicated to just trust as it's not

23:31

so submitted to Double Down right now.

23:33

We gotta know who the haters are.

23:35

Yeah cause the again they have been

23:37

correct. Rice and leaders are correct. Lot

23:39

in a. bill

23:42

that first of all is a

23:44

legendary baseball figure he's the guy

23:46

planted the i the on the

23:48

north side season legendary owner disco demolition

23:50

who owned the whiteside race his son

23:52

this is very well now they

23:54

just see the documentary about a bill

23:57

that in his son and his grandson

23:59

It's on Netflix that John can

24:01

watch. Bill Vicks new exploding scoreboard. He's

24:03

the voice of the White Sox. Now

24:06

look, he's the new guy in

24:08

town. If he didn't go

24:10

on the hater thing, and he's new,

24:12

I could give him grace and I

24:14

could say, look, you're new, learn. But

24:16

fine. But when you're declaring and you're drawing

24:18

a line in the sand and you're

24:20

saying, I've been here for 20 games,

24:23

I know the landscape, you're the haters, and

24:26

you're the lovers, now you

24:28

better know who the hell the

24:30

South Side guys are. And if you

24:33

don't know who Bill Vekar, screw you.

24:35

And you should answer. You should do an

24:38

interview. Like, why

24:40

would you do an interview? Endear yourself to

24:42

lovely young men like Sylvie and I. People,

24:44

I mean, you learn it over

24:47

and over. Like, we've had many times where we've

24:49

interviewed someone where we've been critical of them or

24:51

they've been critical of us. You sit in a

24:53

room, you call. And you become friends. Everyone's like,

24:55

man, that was a lot better than I thought.

24:57

You don't lose in those situations. The only way

24:59

you lose is to go after people

25:01

and then say, no, I don't want to talk

25:03

about it anymore. Right. That's crazy.

25:06

Right. I like your instincts, though, to get them

25:08

on. Yeah, why not? Come on, come

25:10

on. Come on, I want to know. We

25:13

want to, like, let's see what this,

25:15

how can we figure this

25:17

out together? They won't do any tricks, too. If you're

25:19

listening right now, they're not going to like, say a

25:21

bunch of, you know, White Sox trivia and see if

25:23

you try to correct them. Oh, now that's a good

25:26

idea. We should do that. Randy

25:28

Thomas. Have you had the milkshake yet? I

25:31

haven't had it. I haven't had the milkshake.

25:33

We should do like, is this a true

25:35

White Sox figure or not? Andy the Clown.

25:37

Real White Sox guy or not? Yeah.

25:40

I like that. He'll definitely not know Andy the

25:42

Clown. That's after we play punter or pianist. I

25:45

like that. We Do the, we do- We

25:48

Drive punter or not, punter is what we were

25:50

doing. We do Race Horse or Porn Star. Oh,

25:52

that's good. With Our guy Randy Moss, who's on-

25:54

Lemon Muffin. Yeah. And Then, and then the, obviously

25:57

the bit is that he just, he answers all

25:59

correct. You're like- You know you're part

26:01

of your really good. At

26:04

the other Randy Moss says the other in Moscow my

26:07

28:44

because then I want you to be desperate

28:49

29:00

to a game the four of us it

29:03

made if you win 50-50 and he hits the

29:05

button you wouldn't give them 5% of the winner

29:07

I need to

29:10

my first win will maybe get me

29:12

back to even then we can talk

29:15

if I win again then

29:17

we can start cutting in the investor did you hear what the

29:19

50-50 split was on the south

29:21

side for that double header that they did after

29:23

the horrible rain thing Tyler was there take a

29:25

guess take a guess for a double header double

29:27

header so it's both games anyway 16,000 come on

29:29

you've been very disappointed

29:34

why 3,000 I actually

29:37

someone to get someone did

29:39

hit me up with a good idea that I need to

29:41

go to a white Sox

29:43

like day game midweek and

29:45

just buy every ticket every ticket every single you'd

29:48

still lose I'd still of course he was and

29:51

I can't stop other people for buying tickets

29:53

well I still lose it only get

29:55

50% Of my money back. The

30:02

cashier and sounds as the winning ticket there

30:04

is a medal millionaire my do that we

30:06

we. So why September and go and be

30:08

like I'm going to just try to get

30:10

eighty percent of the.and see my dad when

30:12

30:21

to say when because then people to try

30:23

to box the ah yes so re will

30:25

happen I know many spots i like self

30:27

never have enough or I think I searched

30:29

are so. Big Cat. Really great

30:31

stuff is always. Don't forget it. You

30:34

would you rather than or would you

30:36

rather staggered Ws: Would you rather send

30:38

him to Tyler or Mellor on Twitter?

30:41

I tweeted it out so you can

30:43

do it. they're used that hashtag W

30:45

S Would you rather? We've got Wattles

30:47

World and if you miss Ryan polls

30:50

with us we're going to replay that

30:52

at five o'clock Foyer this he's models

30:54

were added. Chicago time was running not

30:57

that many details affairs on my mind

30:59

career to these and the Nfl. We.

31:09

Welcome to Models. Who

31:22

years a move has been

31:24

given in India was. Caruso

31:27

loss of events. I know he's

31:30

the winner of the N B,

31:32

A N or Us a lot

31:34

of good down honors. Players who

31:36

make the traditional F replays the

31:38

don't often appear the traditional box

31:40

score but Impact warning on a

31:42

nightly basis. This is the reason

31:44

why you can I trade him

31:46

for to First Campus at the

31:48

trade deadline? Legit. He's going to

31:50

make them all. and be a

31:52

first team defense rise yes i

31:54

well yeah i i would assume

31:56

that out that is this and

31:58

this was as first team is

32:00

he eligible? Why?

32:03

Because the game is played? Yeah, I think he

32:05

is. I lost a bet. I

32:07

think if C-Red Fred is listening, I

32:10

think I lost a bet to C-Red Fred last year because

32:12

I said he wouldn't make first team because

32:15

of the time missed

32:17

and he did. I

32:19

think I owe Fred something. 71 games,

32:21

so he's eligible. Oh yeah, I would think

32:24

so. Like you were mentioning a little bit

32:26

earlier, Damian Lillard is expected

32:29

to play in tonight's game 6 against

32:32

the Pacers. Giannis is still out. Last

32:35

night, a couple of blowouts. They

32:37

weren't entertaining in the slightest, but

32:39

tonight you got Bucks

32:42

and Pacers, as I said, Bucks looking to

32:44

even up that series at 3 and maybe

32:46

more intriguing as the later game,

32:48

the Knicks are in Philly. That's

32:50

what I'm excited about. The Sixers are looking to even

32:52

up that series and the

32:54

76ers owners are buying game 6 tickets to

32:57

block all of the Knicks fans for this game. They

33:00

had a good conversation, Carmen

33:02

New Yorko, with Black

33:05

and Abdallah on their show earlier today. How

33:08

are these tickets becoming available? Is

33:10

it just from the secondary market?

33:12

I guess. From the brokers

33:15

who buy the playoff tickets originally and

33:18

then they're re-selling a profit. So

33:22

I think obviously they've been trying to inspire

33:24

their fans not

33:27

to sell their tickets, but 2,000

33:29

tickets I believe. Josh

33:31

Harris dated

33:33

the commanders too. Yeah, and David

33:36

Adelman and Michael Rubin just

33:39

bought more than 2,000 tickets for the game

33:41

tonight. And who are they re-selling them to

33:43

Sixers fans or are they giving them? Giving

33:45

them to first responders, healthcare professionals

33:48

and other local Philadelphia-based

33:51

organizations as well. So

33:54

I like that. That's not bad. Did

33:56

you guys see the baseball fight a couple of days

33:58

ago between the... the Rays and the

34:00

Brewers two things that caught my

34:02

attention first of all are we still throwing

34:04

at guys for hitting home runs

34:07

and quote-unquote staring at them a little long

34:09

I think it was wasn't it Freddy Peralta

34:11

it was that that one of the infielders

34:13

for the Rays took him deep and thought

34:15

that he stared for a little bit too

34:17

long so then he got hit and

34:20

then later in the game I think it's the

34:22

ninth inning the closer for

34:24

the for the Braves that was it

34:27

a rebate well yeah for the Brewers

34:29

I'm sorry Abner your eBay yeah it's not

34:31

quite their closer they wanted to be but anyway

34:34

so he gets

34:36

how do you pronounce the kid Jose Siri

34:38

yes he he rounds

34:41

out and they have a

34:43

couple of words and next thing you know

34:45

we're having a fight yeah well I see

34:47

it was equatorial baseball fight it

34:50

was a slap fest yes it wasn't even

34:52

worthy of lap and tickle oh my god

34:54

there was no end and it weren't even

34:56

any slaps that landed Mallard no I you're

34:59

gonna have an air Siri grounds out to

35:01

the first baseman which forces

35:03

you're even a cover and so you

35:06

know he makes he has

35:08

the put out the pitcher does and

35:10

then as he's walking away from surrey

35:12

who grounded out your eBay says something

35:15

to surrey and that then obviously sets

35:17

him off and then the umpire tried

35:19

to get in between them and as

35:21

the umpire provides the buffer that's when

35:23

you're eBay goes for like a slap

35:25

the face of surrey which of course

35:27

results in the bad baseball fight yeah

35:30

it was it was a week first

35:32

of all stop throwing it guys because they take

35:34

you deep yes second of all

35:37

if you're gonna fight let's fight well

35:39

I mean honestly let's if we're gonna do this you're

35:41

gonna you're gonna chest up the first

35:44

thing you shouldn't do is try to

35:46

connect with an open-handed slap well then

35:49

so your eBay got suspended

35:51

six games and immediately was sent down to

35:53

the miners yeah so

35:55

how does that suspension work when he's brought back

35:58

up does he have to serve the suspension It's

36:00

a good question, I'm not quite sure. I

36:04

don't know, I was disappointed. I was disappointed twice.

36:07

Isn't that your next opponent? Don't diverge, you got the

36:09

birds coming to town. Baradice

36:12

is a thing. There was

36:14

Baradice back in the day. That's when we

36:16

would go to Sanibel Island as a group

36:19

and Bearsands were able to go on this trip.

36:21

It was like a three or four day trip

36:24

and current players and former players would go and

36:26

it was just a great celebration of the organization.

36:28

We had a lot of fun, Francie Portray was

36:30

in charge of it. It's called Baradice, you

36:32

play golf, you hang out on the beach,

36:34

you get hammered, just had a blast. And

36:37

this is what I've tried to recreate or

36:40

suggest they recreate in early. I said, hi,

36:42

nice Baradice. It's

36:44

a new fangled Baradice.

36:48

A big nude boat offers a trip

36:50

to Baradice on a naked cruise from

36:52

Florida. One

36:54

cruise ship soon to set sail from Florida

36:56

is making sure all you need is the

36:59

bear necessities. No shoes, no clothes, but

37:01

plenty of service. The

37:03

big nude boat will take

37:05

travelers from Miami to the Caribbean islands

37:07

on an 11 day adventure back to

37:10

Baradice. The website

37:12

is selling. Setting sail from

37:14

February 3rd through Valentine's Day

37:16

of 2025, the trip offers a stress free clothes

37:20

free experience during which up

37:22

to 2300 passengers can roam the ship

37:24

in the nude while at its seat.

37:26

Too much nudity. It's our

37:28

pleasure to provide you with the luxury of deciding

37:31

what not to wear. Bear necessities, tour

37:33

and travel sense. It's like

37:35

Seinfeld once coined, there's good naked and there's

37:38

bad naked. There's a

37:40

whole bunch of bad nudity going on there. Like

37:43

you're telling me just people walking

37:45

around the deck. I

37:49

said deck. You may be

37:51

walking around some of the others. I'm

37:54

here for the 7 o'clock

37:56

seating for dinner. And

37:58

here I am with my wife and

38:00

we're both naked. Yes. And

38:03

I'm coughing. Nobody wants to see

38:06

that. Be careful, don't step

38:08

on my balls as I'm sitting here at the

38:10

table. And now a bunch of naked people in

38:12

the pool and in the hot tub? No. Nobody

38:17

wants that. Put

38:19

on your cruise wear. By the way, this

38:21

is also part of the presentation,

38:24

but social nudity is not a sexual

38:26

activity and we strive to dispel the

38:28

misconception that it is anything but natural

38:30

and beautiful. The company says we have

38:33

made strides in the acceptance of nude

38:35

vacationing and our wide range of cruise

38:37

charters are a testament to our success.

38:40

I'm with you. If you want to

38:42

go to a nude beach, have at it.

38:44

Right. Don't sit down next to me for

38:46

a chicken parm dinner with your balls everywhere.

38:48

Exactly. Right. Yes. And I don't want to

38:50

see your saggy man boobs. Okay.

38:53

Can you picture me sitting down

38:55

for like a lunch pizza?

38:59

Who wants to see that?

39:04

And here's little Sylvie and I mean little

39:06

Sylvie. Are you guys interested in a naked

39:08

cruise for 11 days? No.

39:13

I mean, I, yeah, I mean, how many people

39:15

forget naked. I

39:17

don't want a regular cruise. I'm not a

39:20

cruise guy, but I'm definitely not getting on

39:22

the cruise. You 2300 other people that are

39:24

new. Is the staff naked too? Or are

39:28

they just fully clothed like moving

39:30

around the nude? Here's some rules.

39:33

Just the captain wears his hat. Passengers

39:36

won't be allowed to be naked when the

39:38

ship is docked. I said docked but can

39:40

ditch their usual attire once they're anchored or

39:42

out on the water. And when

39:45

clothing is optional, standard nudist etiquette

39:47

must be abided by the website

39:49

says when sitting nude passengers must

39:51

either wear a thong or sit

39:53

on a towel or some kind

39:55

of fabric. And while the self-serve

39:57

buffet on the pool deck is

39:59

closed. area passengers

40:01

must be dressed for all dining room

40:03

meals and no bathrooms. At least that's

40:06

bad. They don't count.

40:09

So there are some rules. Yeah. Yeah.

40:12

I am. It's not for me. Okay. All

40:14

right. When we come back I have a

40:17

story about a national weatherman who lost his

40:20

his temper and is no longer employed. I

40:22

think you'll know this guy. Interesting.

40:24

When weathermen get excited that's next.

40:30

And ESPN 1000 Chicago. Waddle

40:35

and Sylvie are back on

40:38

Chicago's home for sports. ESPN

40:40

Chicago. Before

40:42

the weatherman goes crazy story

40:45

these things always they

40:48

leave me more than a little

40:50

perplexed. An emotional support alligator was

40:52

taken and released into a swamp.

40:56

And it's not that it was taken by pranksters

40:58

and then dumped into the swamp. It's

41:00

how in the world are you allowed to

41:03

have an emotional alligator? It's

41:05

a wild effing animal. Yeah. Who

41:09

convinced who to get to

41:11

get it? Known

41:13

as Wally Gator, this

41:15

surprisingly cuddly creature has been

41:17

helping Joy Henny relieve his

41:19

depression for almost 10 years.

41:22

Mr. Henny's beloved knobby reptile

41:24

was taken while on holiday

41:26

in the U.S. when

41:29

he in the state of Georgia he says

41:31

by someone looking to play a prank in

41:33

the aftermath Wally was collected by local animal

41:35

control and released into a swamp at a

41:37

remote location. He was a prank. Yeah. What?

41:39

Here's the prank that you want. Yeah. Well

41:42

why are you allowed to have an

41:44

emotional alligator? Remember this

41:46

is the same guy who

41:48

tried to bring his emotional support alligator into that

41:50

filly. I can't remember if it was a World

41:52

Series game or it was a playoff game and

41:55

they denied a mentory with his emotional support. could

42:00

ravage you into

42:02

a game. Where's

42:05

the hole? What animal are you

42:07

stopping with? For emotional support.

42:09

And let's stop with animals that can

42:11

kill you. Yeah. How about

42:13

that? Where's the line? Have

42:17

you ever seen the emotional hawk

42:19

on board a plane? No.

42:22

Nothing that can fly. Oh, okay. So you

42:24

can't have anything to fly. Yes.

42:28

I listen, I think the I think

42:30

the list is pretty self-evident,

42:32

isn't it? So like the

42:34

Shetland pony? No, no, not

42:37

really. Not on a plane.

42:39

You want to bring that around the neighborhood?

42:41

Small aren't they miniature pony? That's a

42:43

relative term. A Shetland pony is

42:45

still a little bit too large to be

42:47

on a plane. In my opinion, what about like a

42:49

goat? I don't know.

42:52

I don't think a dog. Yes.

42:55

Cat maybe. Okay. I

42:59

would think something that is a domesticated

43:01

pet. Snake.

43:03

Within reason. What about a non-venomous

43:06

snake that you could leash? What

43:08

do you mean leash? You don't walk

43:10

a snake. You could. I would just

43:12

put a leash on. What if you could train one? What

43:15

about a hamster? You want to

43:18

bring a hamster on his own emotional? That's fine.

43:20

You keep it in a tab of trail or his little container.

43:22

What else? What about a kangaroo? Too

43:26

big. Okay. Like raccoon?

43:29

No. Even

43:31

if it's had its shot. I

43:34

mean, when I see the phrase or

43:36

the words emotional support alligator,

43:38

I'm like, what the F is going

43:40

on here? Like,

43:45

you can't... What would you do if

43:47

you walked onto a plane and you're supposed to sit

43:50

next to this guy and Wally's

43:52

in his lap? What about a skunk that is...

43:54

Wally's in his lap probably. That's not the right

43:56

phrase. what

44:00

what what if the skunk has been the think

44:02

it's been taken out of the tail still

44:06

a wild animal would it attack you or bite you

44:08

i don't know tested

44:10

for rabies i think clean i'm

44:14

not trying to be insensitive here just trying

44:16

to be practical is what i'm trying to

44:18

accomplish anyway rob marciano uh...

44:21

as an a b c uh... meteorologist

44:23

over a screaming match that's

44:26

all ginger z his boss having to

44:28

step in and reported while

44:30

jr. zee only had to uh...

44:33

what we call the group upstairs that is a charge of

44:35

a charge of nature uh...

44:37

resources rob marciano's abrupt a b

44:39

c news alster can be traced

44:41

back to a conflict with a

44:43

good morning america producer you

44:46

know i've seen him on t.v. time and

44:49

i don't think so i think so i

44:51

think we need match with the gmail producer

44:53

i i think they got overly emotional over

44:55

the eclipse i don't believe this was

44:57

a clip for a lady but i

44:59

believe he had a long history of being

45:01

a hothead and

45:05

finally uh... eighty-two news chief meteorologist ginger

45:07

zee who did not have a good

45:09

relationship with him stepped in and

45:12

asked uh... h r to take action so

45:14

you will not be seeing rob marciano on

45:17

a b c as a weather guy any longer he

45:20

was on the weekend no longer

45:22

okay i had a weatherman loses

45:24

his game now but

45:26

how do you how do you pick that one away i

45:29

went into the job that i think that you can't

45:32

do that got

45:35

a cool it down the jet

45:37

stream have to be a little

45:39

more even not

45:42

as turbulent about just being a

45:44

civil person we do it

45:46

by flop would you with the emotional

45:48

support animals and now with the weather

45:50

dot what is common good that you

45:52

can use a support not an alligator

45:55

it's your support alligator out here i

45:57

thought if you missed ryan polls about

46:00

consonant, talk about calming.

46:03

Ryan Poles, we talked to earlier in the

46:05

show, when was he

46:07

convinced that the Bears needed a new

46:09

quarterback? He answered that with us, and

46:13

lots of other great insight

46:15

from the Bears general manager. You'll hear

46:17

that conversation coming up next.
