4:38
Speaker 3: on the movie. Yeah, now I'm taking the absence you're
4:41
Speaker 3: gonna laugh.
4:41
Speaker 6: I am gonna roll the sweatshirt up and put it
4:44
Speaker 6: behind my back to keep me like sitting upright, to
4:47
Speaker 6: be that, because I think the last thing you want
4:49
Speaker 6: to do is be lounging into this thing ten minutes
4:52
Speaker 6: before and all of a sudden you because this move,
4:54
Speaker 6: this documentary is gonna have people uh at the most
4:59
Speaker 6: intense tension span.
5:00
Speaker 2: But the seats are far too comfortable.
5:02
Speaker 6: So it is you and buy tickets online at a
5:06
Speaker 6: Road at Night dot com. But I didn't want to
5:08
Speaker 6: mention that before Matt comes on in the seven o'clock
5:10
Speaker 6: hour because very very excited.
5:12
Speaker 2: When I saw that news.
5:13
Speaker 6: I didn't see as much as it probably should while
5:15
Speaker 6: I was in Florida, but when that came across the wire,
5:18
Speaker 6: that's gonna be live in the theater coming up tonight
5:21
Speaker 6: in Brookfield, very very exciting.
5:24
Speaker 3: It's super awesome. It's a story we should be able to.
5:26
Speaker 3: It's great that we you know, that the distribution is
5:29
Speaker 3: getting out there. More people will see it because it's
5:31
Speaker 3: something I'm sure everybody wants to see, should see, and
5:35
Speaker 3: we're better for hearing the story and learning about what's
5:37
Speaker 3: going on with that situation, and of course it helps
5:40
Speaker 3: out And you know, I love hearing stories. I love
5:45
Speaker 3: watching stories that are about real life, real things that
5:48
Speaker 3: move us as humans, and obviously this is one of them.
5:51
Speaker 3: And I think, Billy, you know, I don't want to
5:53
Speaker 3: get totally you know, go out and see it for yourself,
5:57
Speaker 3: have the reaction you have. But Billy Hunter, hearing about this,
6:00
Speaker 3: talking to Matt Lapey, talking to Andy Kilbride, it's it's
6:04
Speaker 3: it's tragedy, but it's also the good things that can
6:06
Speaker 3: come from it, and that's learning lessons of the power
6:09
Speaker 3: of brotherhood and endearing friendship and connecting as humans and
6:13
Speaker 3: and things. The silver linings we can find even in
6:16
Speaker 3: the toughest parts of life. So uh, you know, anytime
6:19
Speaker 3: you can become moved as a human on things like that,
6:21
Speaker 3: and this is one of those examples, go out and
6:22
Speaker 3: see it.

7:18
Speaker 6: seven three as we do huddle up here on a Friday,
7:22
Speaker 6: you know, it apparently is deal.
7:24
Speaker 1: Making season, guys. I guess I didn't realize.
7:27
Speaker 6: It in because I don't traffic as much as I
7:31
Speaker 6: definitely should as a grown adult.
7:35
Speaker 3: Partially okay, well you know you're getting old. Now I'm
7:38
Speaker 3: starting to try to be a mature ring adult.
7:41
Speaker 6: I should be more in on the political game, all right,
7:44
Speaker 6: I should.
7:45
Speaker 2: I feel like I should know.
7:46
Speaker 6: More about all their dealings and when they're going with stuff,
7:48
Speaker 6: you know what, when when it comes to the true
7:51
Speaker 6: civic knowledge of the interworkings.
7:53
Speaker 2: Maybe, yes, maybe I should. That's different than I think.
7:57
Speaker 3: I think that's different than some of the other politics
8:00
Speaker 3: stuff of discourse that is sometimes.
8:02
Speaker 2: Immature in my opinion. Yes, now I'm not gonna get
8:04
Speaker 2: in a discourse.
8:05
Speaker 6: I would like to have a knowledge based on that,
8:07
Speaker 6: but it probably of the civics of bills being passed.
8:10
Speaker 2: Yeah you're talking about you.
8:13
Speaker 6: Know, yeah, But in all reality, I'm probably gonna dig
8:15
Speaker 6: in more on where the cornerback position looks at the
8:18
Speaker 6: combine next week. So again, like I should be doing
8:21
Speaker 6: this all all respec I only have so much bandwidth
8:23
Speaker 6: and I think I only have such an IQ level
8:26
Speaker 6: that sports is the perfect toy asle for me to
8:28
Speaker 6: be hanging out. But like, but we get to venture
8:30
Speaker 6: into the political realms when sports and politics intersect. It
8:34
Speaker 6: always fascinates me where the anger on a lot of
8:39
Speaker 6: different sides will land and then where the you know,
8:43
Speaker 6: some people call it 'd slinging, some people call it
8:46
Speaker 6: bashing and rhetoric.
8:49
Speaker 2: I just call it politics on both sides.
8:51
Speaker 3: Will roll, politicking, pandering, interplay, those type of things.
8:55
Speaker 6: And we are getting to see with one of the
8:58
Speaker 6: greatest rivalries in all of pro sports, Bears and Packers,
9:01
Speaker 6: as Packers fans sitting on one side of the aisle,
9:04
Speaker 6: and as a shout out to a texture of ours
9:06
Speaker 6: who hit us up earlier on here today who asked
9:09
Speaker 6: us to not hold it over him, Mike in Fox Lake,
9:13
Speaker 6: Illinois said, please don't let that discourage you from reading
9:15
Speaker 6: my text, because I am a Wisconsin man at heart,
9:18
Speaker 6: been a Packers fan for fifty years, and I follow
9:20
Speaker 6: all Wisconsin teams. I followed you guys from that spot
9:23
Speaker 6: when you first came over here, still follow you on
9:25
Speaker 6: the huddle. Love It dropped his full phone number in
9:28
Speaker 6: there as well for Mike. Yes, we appreciate that from
9:30
Speaker 6: Mike and fox Lake. Now Mike and fox Lake is
9:32
Speaker 6: to join us on the other side of the state line.
9:35
Speaker 2: We get to watch a battle.
9:37
Speaker 6: Going on on the other side of the state line
9:39
Speaker 6: which is now gonna hop potentially over another state line
9:43
Speaker 6: with the Chicago Bears.
9:44
Speaker 2: Yesterday and Arvin, sorry, and I saw you instantly.
9:47
Speaker 3: I was in there instantly, jumping into the hotbed of
9:51
Speaker 3: internet discussion yesterday when in the State of Indiana policy
9:58
Speaker 3: twenty six B I.
9:59
Speaker 2: Believe is how I how I say they remember there.
10:02
Speaker 3: Were numbers and letters and bills and stuff like that.
10:04
Speaker 3: There were was passed.
10:05
Speaker 6: Through to continue to push forward on all policies and
10:11
Speaker 6: planning in regards to a Bears stadium project being passed
10:16
Speaker 6: cleanly in the state of.
10:18
Speaker 2: Illinois or in the state of Indiana. Now they have
10:21
Speaker 2: put this.
10:22
Speaker 6: As the wolf Lake Spot, apparently near Hammond, Indiana.
10:25
Speaker 3: Right across the border the area I mean from from
10:28
Speaker 3: Google Maps. I've been all over the map, by the way,
10:31
Speaker 3: I mean it's legitimately right over the state line's right there.
10:34
Speaker 3: I mean there are parts of Indiana that are right there.
10:36
Speaker 3: I mean they're part of the state line.
10:39
Speaker 2: There are parts of.
10:39
Speaker 3: Chicago proper you talk about you talk about West Pullman
10:42
Speaker 3: and heg Wish and on Arizona though some areas that
10:45
Speaker 3: are up against the the city the state line right there,
10:48
Speaker 3: So they're in there in Indiana, they're in Chicago basically.
10:51
Speaker 6: And I don't know exactly whatever whatever GPS app you
10:55
Speaker 6: guys use. Some people use Apple, some people use Google,
10:58
Speaker 6: somebody use Waves, some people.
11:00
Speaker 2: A lot of the spots.
11:02
Speaker 3: Sure, some people still have Magellan in their car, come on,
11:05
Speaker 3: yeah for sure.
11:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, map quest I'm still get.
11:08
Speaker 3: Printed out and I want every time I go book
11:12
Speaker 3: of the Wisconsin map.
11:13
Speaker 6: Yeah, it is right there in the in the couple
11:16
Speaker 6: have that map and see what see what highway we're
11:17
Speaker 6: getting up to. Yeah, it looks like you could make
11:21
Speaker 6: a pretty strong case that the Hamond Indiana spot is
11:25
Speaker 6: actually closer to the city of Chicago than the Arlington
11:29
Speaker 6: Heights location would be.
11:31
Speaker 2: And we keep hearing that how it's closer to soldiers.
11:33
Speaker 3: However, is it a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful thing to watch
11:38
Speaker 3: the coping rolling through of Bears fans starting to possibly
11:42
Speaker 3: accept the idea.
11:43
Speaker 6: Armin that it will be the Indiana Bears when the
11:47
Speaker 6: shovels actually get into the ground, and that team might
11:51
Speaker 6: be moving out of the state of Illinois.
11:53
Speaker 3: And boys, you know, it couldn't have come at a
11:55
Speaker 3: better time for me.
11:56
Speaker 1: You you've been battling, you've been battling isthing to go
12:00
Speaker 1: your way.
12:01
Speaker 3: Right, and you know this, you know what this is about, right,
12:03
Speaker 3: This is about me, right, this is about me. They
12:06
Speaker 3: had back And there are times, you know, Billy, where
12:09
Speaker 3: I have just tweeted my thoughts, you know, stream of consciousness,
12:14
Speaker 3: totally organic, authentic, and they have become you know, hot
12:18
Speaker 3: button tweets, you know, and you say, oh, you're trying to,
12:21
Speaker 3: and like, sometimes I'm not really.
12:23
Speaker 2: Yesterday I was trying to.
12:24
Speaker 3: Yesterday I had one for all my favorites over there,
12:29
Speaker 3: you know, for Super Bear eight twenty two over there,
12:32
Speaker 3: and for Bearing down one and for Bears Believer in
12:35
Speaker 3: nineteen twenty and doctor Johnny Bears over there, and for
12:39
Speaker 3: all the absolute dorks in Arlington Heights, Buffalo Girl, Palatine,
12:44
Speaker 3: just Planes, all the North Shore that, oh my gosh,
12:47
Speaker 3: they are absolutely in shambles right now, absolutely in shambles.
12:50
Speaker 3: That they're beloved Chicago Bears. And if you don't think
12:53
Speaker 3: that every time they lose a game. I'm not gonna sing.
12:56
Speaker 2: Bear down Hamm and Bears. Let's be honest. You gotta
13:00
Speaker 2: are in the Wolflake district.
13:03
Speaker 4: Nah if bear down Hammon Bears, we bring the pride
13:09
Speaker 4: of Garry everywhere. When George hallis founded us, he always wanted.
13:15
Speaker 3: To get out of this state of blue.
13:19
Speaker 4: Bear down Hamon Bears.
13:22
Speaker 2: We're gonna get close to a casino.
13:25
Speaker 3: However, we might not be able to build it because
13:28
Speaker 3: it's too close to.
13:29
Speaker 2: The other one and might not get all the money
13:31
Speaker 2: that we wanted.
13:32
Speaker 1: Bear.
13:33
Speaker 2: I like that. That was amazing, and.
13:34
Speaker 3: Kudos to you for coming up with like four verses
13:37
Speaker 3: which I didn't come up with.
13:38
Speaker 2: Well done. You know that was impressive work by you.
13:41
Speaker 2: Thank you.
13:42
Speaker 3: So if we're you know, we're being reasonable about it
13:44
Speaker 3: and we're being logical about it.
13:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, there are other pro.
13:47
Speaker 3: Teams that aren't in the spaces they reside, right. We
13:50
Speaker 3: know about the metal lands, we know about all that stuff.
13:53
Speaker 3: But this is funny. I'm sorry, it's hilarious. Now here's
13:56
Speaker 3: the other thing. There might be some residual positives for
13:58
Speaker 3: the organization. Well, I'm organization, the tax free all these
14:01
Speaker 3: deals and it's not a done deal yet. We don't
14:03
Speaker 3: know if they're just putting pressure again on Pritzker and Arlington.
14:06
Speaker 3: But you cannot tell me that these Bears fans grew
14:09
Speaker 3: up hoping their team of being Indiana. That's absolute Copium.
14:12
Speaker 3: You are just coping right now. And I'll be honest
14:14
Speaker 3: with you. I'm loving watching the fan base crumble right now.
14:18
Speaker 3: I'm loving watching them getting their feelings just start flailing
14:22
Speaker 3: and saying, now this is fine and we don't want this,
14:24
Speaker 3: and then the other one saying We'll never ever wear
14:26
Speaker 3: a piece of Chicago Bears.
14:28
Speaker 2: You will lose me as a fan. I'm like, oh,
14:30
Speaker 2: I need all this please injected into my veins.
14:33
Speaker 6: Please let it wash over me. I need all this
14:35
Speaker 6: be Can I can I give you one here, arman.
14:38
Speaker 6: The state of Illinois is home to the house the
14:40
Speaker 6: Chicago Bears their entire time, even when they were the
14:44
Speaker 6: Decatur stately correct. Yeah, the organization has never had Hunter
14:49
Speaker 6: a four thousand yard passer, correct, and Caleb better to
14:53
Speaker 6: it quick.
14:54
Speaker 2: The state of.
14:55
Speaker 6: Illinois might never see a four thousand yard passer in Vienna.
14:59
Speaker 6: Might first, well, they listen to the state of Indiana
15:02
Speaker 6: knows it all right, They've got I like that Indiana
15:06
Speaker 6: is like, hey, we're gonna get two teams. And also
15:10
Speaker 6: like you just start looking at it from a number
15:12
Speaker 6: of different ways, from from all the dealings. And again
15:15
Speaker 6: I don't know all the I don't know all the
15:16
Speaker 6: blue tape or the red tape. I don't And again
15:18
Speaker 6: blue or red, I apologize that was more a state
15:20
Speaker 6: of their their sports teams.
15:22
Speaker 2: Right.
15:22
Speaker 3: Don't want anybody get mad at me for any political conversation.
15:25
Speaker 3: I'm not trying to make any of this political. I
15:27
Speaker 3: just think whatever it ends up being, yellow tape, probably yellow.
15:32
Speaker 2: Was the better one to go with. Hunter.
15:33
Speaker 6: That's why you're gonna make the bigsh tape. Scotch tape
15:35
Speaker 6: does work. Duct tape maybe even better. But like you're
15:39
Speaker 6: they're home knit together with Scotch tape. As to how
15:42
Speaker 6: they're staying in the city of Chicago. They then bought
15:47
Speaker 6: the land in Arlington Heights to go build it there.
15:51
Speaker 6: It doesn't appear they're asking for anything outlandish, right.
15:55
Speaker 1: It's like exit rams and infrastructure.
15:57
Speaker 3: I believe well, and they want to know what they're
15:59
Speaker 3: going to pay for their taxes. Rolling forward, and again
16:02
Speaker 3: this is where my little bit of reading and probably
16:06
Speaker 3: you know, sophomoric level as to how far I can read.
16:09
Speaker 3: It doesn't appear that they're asking for anything that all
16:12
Speaker 3: the other teams in Illinois have like. It sounds like
16:14
Speaker 3: the Cubs when they rebuilt a lot of Wrigley Field,
16:18
Speaker 3: got it pretty locked in.
16:19
Speaker 2: Like you're gonna pay about eight million.
16:20
Speaker 6: Bucks for your taxes every year, right, so you can
16:22
Speaker 6: crowbar it in, know what the cost certainty is and say,
16:26
Speaker 6: all right, sweet, I'll build it. The Bears have said
16:28
Speaker 6: they're building the stadium. They just want to know what
16:31
Speaker 6: they're gonna have going forward. And now it's not even
16:35
Speaker 6: that we won't build Dion ramp or off ramp.
16:39
Speaker 2: Yesterday, the conversation is, I just don't like the way
16:44
Speaker 2: they're doing business.
16:46
Speaker 3: And when you start getting that petty about something this big,
16:49
Speaker 3: it's gonna be about ego.
16:50
Speaker 1: And now we can really start watching and laugh and
16:54
Speaker 1: then you go, okay, Indiana passed the measure twenty four
16:56
Speaker 1: to zero. They want us, right, it's about who wants you.
17:00
Speaker 1: You always want to be wanted, And so then all
17:01
Speaker 1: of a sudden the Bears are like, oh, they want us,
17:04
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll go over there Socier Field open in nineteen
17:07
Speaker 1: twenty four. You go from a historic stadium and I
17:09
Speaker 1: know it's obviously not in the best of shape in
17:12
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, but it's still a historic stadium when
17:15
Speaker 1: you look at the entire NFL and the landscape. But
17:17
Speaker 1: you go from that to move into Indiana, that's quite
17:20
Speaker 1: a It's and I know, like proximity wise, it's not
17:23
Speaker 1: a big move, but just in just in your mind
17:27
Speaker 1: if you're a fan, it's kind of like, oh, man,
17:30
Speaker 1: you go from a historic stadium in the NFL, you're
17:32
Speaker 1: a historic franchise in the NFL, to go play in.
17:35
Speaker 2: Indiana and probably a dome.
17:38
Speaker 3: And you know what's funny always to me, guys is
17:40
Speaker 3: and you brought it up kind of with with with
17:42
Speaker 3: they want us the twenty four zero thing. It's like,
17:45
Speaker 3: no matter how older and mature and in terms of
17:48
Speaker 3: like higher rungs of the strata of society and we're
17:52
Speaker 3: supposed to get it's the more it just becomes like
17:55
Speaker 3: high school, like, well, listen, they showed us the.
17:57
Speaker 2: Love they feel want me. I want to feel wanted.
18:00
Speaker 2: I want to feel seen.
18:00
Speaker 3: And then it's like, how dare you guys, think about
18:03
Speaker 3: even leaving us. That's just disrespect. We've done for you,
18:06
Speaker 3: all we've done. You're gonna always done together, Chicago. You
18:09
Speaker 3: didn't care about us in the first place. You didn't
18:11
Speaker 3: want to be here in the first place. It's not
18:13
Speaker 3: about being in Chicago. It's just about getting the best
18:15
Speaker 3: deal for yourself. You're that selfish. It's like, how can
18:18
Speaker 3: you do that? Oh my goodness, it is so hilarious
18:21
Speaker 3: how that works. And you know what I was trying
18:23
Speaker 3: to think yesterday, what's the craziest bearstat of all time?
18:26
Speaker 3: You talked about the thousand and four thousand years passer
18:28
Speaker 3: one never had that, it never had a thirty touchdown passer.
18:32
Speaker 3: You know, Dick Budkus and Gail Siers never made the playoffs,
18:35
Speaker 3: or the fact that they don't have a team in
18:36
Speaker 3: Chicago anymore. What's the craziest out of all true? Now, listen, now,
18:41
Speaker 3: maybe the Arlington deal will still happen. This might be
18:44
Speaker 3: the pressure they're putting on.
18:45
Speaker 2: We'll see. Well, I don't know. Man.
18:47
Speaker 6: Again, now there's no football games to listen to, So
18:50
Speaker 6: I did have to I did have to hate listen
18:51
Speaker 6: to a little bit of Chicago sports sure, and.
18:54
Speaker 2: I had to figure.
18:55
Speaker 3: I wanted to get what they were and again they're
18:57
Speaker 3: I think it seems pretty fifty to fifty.
18:59
Speaker 2: Like there's some that are like, who cares. I want
19:02
Speaker 2: the I.
19:02
Speaker 6: Want the state to do what's best for the state,
19:05
Speaker 6: and I don't know what is best right, Like there's
19:08
Speaker 6: some studies that say you don't get.
19:10
Speaker 2: A certain amount of the money back.
19:11
Speaker 6: There's some studies that show all the economic growth that
19:15
Speaker 6: goes around it. I think about it, and again, this
19:18
Speaker 6: is why maybe I should be more educated and more mature.
19:21
Speaker 2: On some of this.
19:22
Speaker 6: I think of the vibes of the city, and like
19:24
Speaker 6: the vibes of you, of your constituents in your state,
19:27
Speaker 6: like Arman when when we talked about it with the Brewers,
19:29
Speaker 6: like the memories that you can make. They can very
19:31
Speaker 6: much make those same memories with the team being on
19:33
Speaker 6: the other side of the state line.
19:34
Speaker 3: Yeah, but like will it feel the same though, I mean,
19:37
Speaker 3: that's something we can't answer really for everybody.
19:40
Speaker 2: It's not like a tangible thing.
19:42
Speaker 6: There's also a five year old that has a Caleb
19:44
Speaker 6: Williams Jersey who Caleb Williams is the greatest thing that's
19:47
Speaker 6: ever existed to him, who's gonna grow up, probably not
19:50
Speaker 6: even realizing that it would be in a different state.
19:53
Speaker 6: I mean, I was like fourteen and going to Packers
19:56
Speaker 6: games with my dad for a number of years when
19:59
Speaker 6: I realized the stadium was an ash Wabanon and not
20:02
Speaker 6: in Green Bay.
20:03
Speaker 2: And then he told me why.
20:04
Speaker 6: The guy's selling tickets but only on this side of
20:06
Speaker 6: the street and not on that one because of the city.
20:08
Speaker 6: I'm like, well, that's interesting, huh okay, Like, but you
20:13
Speaker 6: just you shrug your shoulders and roll with it.
20:15
Speaker 2: It is. It's not an unfamiliar thing.
20:18
Speaker 6: However, for it to be this public, this odd dash,
20:22
Speaker 6: it in the time in which they're finally as good
20:26
Speaker 6: as they are right now too, that is maybe the
20:29
Speaker 6: sweetest part, just when you would like for Bears fans,
20:32
Speaker 6: when Bears fans would like to be able to take
20:34
Speaker 6: their victory lap and send out, you know videos.
20:37
Speaker 3: We figured it out, finally, Yeah, we figured this NFL
20:39
Speaker 3: thing out. Listen, you you're we're no longer anybody's little brother.
20:42
Speaker 3: Now you got to go over to the other state
20:44
Speaker 3: and get a get a stadium. That's that's kind of tough.
20:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, Governor Pritzker with the statement saying it's very disappointing
20:49
Speaker 1: to hear that they would put that that statement out.
20:51
Speaker 1: Bears talking about, you know that they are going to
20:53
Speaker 1: pursue things in Indiana, but not say anything about the
20:56
Speaker 1: advancement that that's been that's been made in the state
20:59
Speaker 1: of Illinois, waiting to hear from the Bears what they'd
21:02
Speaker 1: like to do next.
21:03
Speaker 3: Well, it's funny because that report last week was that
21:05
Speaker 3: they were moving closer to the Arlington deal being a
21:07
Speaker 3: done deal.
21:08
Speaker 1: And yeah, they had a hearing set for yesterday that
21:10
Speaker 1: they canceled at the best of the Bears.
21:12
Speaker 6: And Warren decided to not to chose to not be
21:16
Speaker 6: at He chose to not be there.
21:18
Speaker 2: And it's all just chosen.
21:20
Speaker 6: It like a reality you guys watched The Bachelor. This
21:24
Speaker 6: is like that interview with Prince in Paradise. Bachelor of
21:29
Speaker 6: Paradise much better, but that interview with Princeville. It's like, yeah,
21:31
Speaker 6: this is gonna feel like the solo shot interview they
21:35
Speaker 6: do after you know, somebody goes on the one on
21:38
Speaker 6: one date when you thought when that young person thought
21:42
Speaker 6: they were going to get the one on one when
21:44
Speaker 6: they read off the date card in front of everybody.
21:46
Speaker 2: But waiting for the bus to come to come. I
21:48
Speaker 2: don't know, like when it's gonna be my turn.
21:51
Speaker 6: We just had such a we just had such a
21:53
Speaker 6: beautiful day together.
21:55
Speaker 2: Apparently that didn't meant anything.
21:56
Speaker 6: I just get no time, Like I'm away from my kids,
21:58
Speaker 6: I'm away from my job. I just gave up every
22:00
Speaker 6: thing basically to be here, and now I just just
22:01
Speaker 6: didn't even get picked picked, like.
22:03
Speaker 2: I don't even know.
22:05
Speaker 6: I don't even know why I invested so much and
22:08
Speaker 6: so much time and care.
22:10
Speaker 2: Obviously no one cares.
22:12
Speaker 6: And then somebody has to come in and stop and
22:14
Speaker 6: calm everything down like that is gonna.
22:16
Speaker 2: Be It is a full reality TV show.
22:18
Speaker 3: I just wish we would get the after this is
22:21
Speaker 3: all said, and then we won't get the reunion show,
22:22
Speaker 3: because that would be pretty funny.
22:23
Speaker 2: The reunion show.
22:24
Speaker 3: Why you told me you loved me and you're in
22:27
Speaker 3: love with me? And why you made love to me
22:29
Speaker 3: if you weren't in love with me? Tell all, why
22:31
Speaker 3: to tell all? I'm the bears, Tell all. I just
22:34
Speaker 3: you told me in Hometowns, I was the one. I'm sorry.
22:38
Speaker 3: In our told fantasy was the fantasy sweets, I was
22:41
Speaker 3: the one so uh so they got.
22:43
Speaker 6: To the fantasy suite with Soldier Field Lot Arlington Heights,
22:49
Speaker 6: and now apparently the third one is in Hammond, Indiana and.
22:53
Speaker 2: The wolf Lake area.
22:54
Speaker 6: Right Wolflake, Indiana in Indiana. And I did also again
22:58
Speaker 6: I was I was a map question. I was just
22:59
Speaker 6: having fun there, that's to look at it. I accidentally
23:02
Speaker 6: jumped on wolf Lake Minas or Michigan and Armand I'll
23:06
Speaker 6: tell you when I thought that they were potentially closer
23:09
Speaker 6: to Kalamazoo than where their new stadium would be, that
23:12
Speaker 6: was a time where I wish you could have lived,
23:13
Speaker 6: because it was a.
23:14
Speaker 2: Fun, fun thought.
23:16
Speaker 6: Those tweets that I put up ready to draft, sad,
23:21
Speaker 6: sad they had deleted them because there was I had
23:23
Speaker 6: to do some fact checking eight seven seven seven nine
23:25
Speaker 6: four nine seven three or maybe maybe there's one more contestant, right,
23:28
Speaker 6: because in the midst of that show, every once in
23:30
Speaker 6: a while, they're like three weeks in and they bring
23:33
Speaker 6: in someone.
23:34
Speaker 3: True that was Iowa. Remember that Iowa.
23:38
Speaker 2: Could Iowa walk in.
23:39
Speaker 6: Here coming up for our halftime report and say, excuse me.
23:42
Speaker 2: We'd like to pass a bill too.
23:43
Speaker 1: The Battle for the Bears between Iowa and Indiana.
23:46
Speaker 3: And of all the discussion we have on this and
23:48
Speaker 3: all the topics about it, there's one specific question I'm
23:51
Speaker 3: going to have four Dolph when we get to them
23:53
Speaker 3: about Bara Fan. I want all he feels about it
23:56
Speaker 3: being sort of an out of town guy.
23:58
Speaker 6: And that one comes up. On the other side. Armen
24:00
Speaker 6: Sarian's right there. Hunter Bombguard is in for Droolsen.
24:02
Speaker 2: I'm Billy.
24:03
Speaker 6: We get to our halftime report a little bit later
24:05
Speaker 6: because we're having so much fun talking Ham and Bears,
24:07
Speaker 6: potentially Ham and Bears against the Schwabinon Packers starting out
24:12
Speaker 6: the twenty thirty NFL season as the Green Bay Packers
24:15
Speaker 6: are hoisting their fifth Lombardi Trophy eight seven seven seven
24:19
Speaker 6: nine four one nine seven three. So you want it
24:20
Speaker 6: done right there? Eight seven seven seven nine four one
24:22
Speaker 6: nine seven three. Dolphs in with us next.
24:24
Speaker 3: I think Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin Street.
24:34
Speaker 2: In a small huddle up.
24:38
Speaker 6: Halftime has reached us here on this beautiful Friday. It's
24:41
Speaker 6: flying by fast here in the good Land. I'm Bill
24:44
Speaker 6: Schmid Hunter Bombguard in for Drew Olsen alongside our knocking
24:48

24:57
Speaker 2: the CBS nogin o jacket, one more day.
24:59
Speaker 3: No I do.
25:00
Speaker 6: We had thinked Dolph about bringing like a big old
25:02
Speaker 6: space heater in there and just really cranking up the
25:04
Speaker 6: heat on armand for the last hour.
25:07
Speaker 2: Yeah you want. I don't think we need to see
25:09
Speaker 2: your smell that, to be honest with you, smelling is
25:12
Speaker 2: a very important thing. But it is mine the.
25:13
Speaker 5: Glass Armand are you going to now maybe for the
25:16
Speaker 5: next Olympics, the next one Olympics, which I believer in France,
25:18
Speaker 5: Are you going to you know, rock Albertville or oh.
25:21
Speaker 2: If you give me some Albertville gear if it's free,
25:24
Speaker 2: it's a kidding, Augary. I would love some vintage.
25:29
Speaker 3: I would love some squad Valley nineteen sixty alley. Yeah,
25:33
Speaker 3: I would love some more vintage Olympic gear Big Vegas.
25:36
Speaker 3: Pete was kind enough to give me some of his
25:37
Speaker 3: old stuff.
25:38
Speaker 5: I think people forget that California hosted the Winter Olympics
25:41
Speaker 5: back in the.
25:41
Speaker 3: Day and that was the only other time the US
25:43
Speaker 3: men's hockey team won gold. Yeah, except for eighty until
25:47
Speaker 3: this year until this one, we're taking it.
25:48
Speaker 6: Yes, this year, we gotta get past Slovakia today. You
25:51
Speaker 6: gotta get past Lavakia today.
25:52
Speaker 5: Tough And like every other roster, they are littered with
25:54
Speaker 5: NHL to Yes, Slovakia.
25:57
Speaker 2: Well and Dolphin.
25:57
Speaker 6: We talked about and kind of let it off because
25:59
Speaker 6: it is I fall into all different sports and you
26:04
Speaker 6: enjoy different things. Ultimately with the Olympics, I watch what
26:06
Speaker 6: I watch right like and it feels like the more
26:09
Speaker 6: and more the NHL playoffs are on in the way
26:13
Speaker 6: NBC and now TNT and now ESPN is broadcasting the
26:16
Speaker 6: games again, like the ability to consume hockey seems like
26:20
Speaker 6: a hire, seems like the thirst might be higher. And
26:22
Speaker 6: when we're looking for I mean, the NBA regular season
26:26
Speaker 6: has continued to go down there asking how on earth
26:29
Speaker 6: we're gonna get teams to care about the game tonight.
26:31
Speaker 6: Like that's literally the owners meeting is today was how
26:34
Speaker 6: do we make you guys want to win the game
26:36
Speaker 6: you're playing? That's crazy that that's how we have to
26:38
Speaker 6: talk to teams.
26:39
Speaker 2: But like there's a spot for a winter sports.
26:42
Speaker 6: To really get a boom, and when you get young
26:44
Speaker 6: people to watch the best athletes in the world, playing
26:47
Speaker 6: for games that matter, Like I think these next two
26:49
Speaker 6: games are huge for.
26:50
Speaker 2: This absolutely playing for their country.
26:52
Speaker 5: You see a few things you don't normally see, like
26:54
Speaker 5: the three on three that doesn't happen in the NHL.
26:56
Speaker 5: So that's got to be exciting for these guys to
26:58
Speaker 5: be doing something new. But to be able to put
27:00
Speaker 5: on the red, white and blue or whatever your country's
27:02
Speaker 5: colors are, that's a whole another level. Yeah, that's why
27:06
Speaker 5: I think this would be a hell of a game today.
27:08
Speaker 5: They lost to Slovakia. It was in the World Championships
27:10
Speaker 5: and two or three years ago something like that.
27:13
Speaker 2: You run into a hot goaltender one game you don't
27:15
Speaker 2: know what. Yeah, they have they have.
27:16
Speaker 3: They're one of these teams with a discipline defense and
27:19
Speaker 3: they keep the thing closed.
27:19
Speaker 2: You're talking about the three on three.
27:21
Speaker 3: It's an absolute and equalizer when you get to that
27:24
Speaker 3: open ice three.
27:24
Speaker 2: They've got a big four check, is what you're saying.
27:26
Speaker 2: Big four check effects of coaching.
27:28
Speaker 3: I think they you know it's they're up, and you
27:30
Speaker 3: know that now we can get deeper in the third line.
27:32
Speaker 2: You know, sure, you know.
27:33
Speaker 5: It's funny you mentioned their goalies because one of them
27:36
Speaker 5: what they say. One of their goalies is in the
27:38
Speaker 5: Admirals places for the Iowa Wild. One of them is
27:40
Speaker 5: a University of Minnesota Duluth goalie for Slovakia. So they've
27:44
Speaker 5: got they've got an interesting array of guys. But like
27:47
Speaker 5: you said, you catch fire in the Olympics, it doesn't
27:49
Speaker 5: matter where you come from.
27:50
Speaker 2: You don't know, it doesn't matter.
27:51
Speaker 6: And obviously college hockey is huge, has been huge here
27:54
Speaker 6: for a long time with the Badgers and how good
27:55
Speaker 6: they are. But like all in the Big Ten, over
27:58
Speaker 6: the last number of years, when they started to have
28:01
Speaker 6: more Big Ten hockey, yeah, like that, those games continue
28:04
Speaker 6: to get better and better, and the nil Aradolph, I think,
28:07
Speaker 6: like the sport is just going to continue to get better.
28:09
Speaker 5: Quinn case in point, Quinn Hughes, who hit that big
28:11
Speaker 5: goal of the game winner Michigan Wolverine, Yeah in twenty
28:14
Speaker 5: nineteen or something like that.
28:15
Speaker 6: And I think a lot of times those guys Arman
28:17
Speaker 6: weren't necessarily playing college hockey.
28:19
Speaker 2: They'd go and play professionally, make more, make money, and.
28:21
Speaker 3: Some guys seem to do better and different environments, you know, Famously,
28:25
Speaker 3: in nineteen eighty Jim Craig was really really good in
28:29
Speaker 3: goal for the US men, but he was having some
28:32
Speaker 3: consistency issues, you know, college and trying to get into
28:34
Speaker 3: the NHL, and that was the big question, like is
28:36
Speaker 3: he the better goalie? I know early on the guy
28:39
Speaker 3: you're talking about is Samuel I don't know how to
28:40
Speaker 3: pronounce it, a Labaj, I know, the jay as Island.
28:43
Speaker 3: Probably he plays with the Iba Wild and apparently you
28:47
Speaker 3: know he was struggling.
28:48
Speaker 2: I mean he was.
28:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, the headline is meet the Struggling ahl Er starring
28:52
Speaker 1: in Slovakia's Cinderella Olympic runs. So clearly a change of
28:55
Speaker 1: scenery is what's working for him and playing the thing.
29:00
Speaker 2: We beat him, I know, we beat him downtown a
29:02
Speaker 2: few times.
29:02
Speaker 6: I was gonna say, I mean, he was almost playing
29:04
Speaker 6: the Admirals a number of different things.
29:07
Speaker 2: He got sent down to the e h l's Iowa Heartlanders.
29:10
Speaker 2: I don't know where they aren't.
29:13
Speaker 6: All I know is that it's got to be Grinnell's team.
29:16
Speaker 6: That's got to be like the Armpit Iowa's.
29:19
Speaker 5: A week unless Billy mentioned Grinnell, Iowa at least once.
29:22
Speaker 5: Coral that's Iowa City, Okay, Okay, but you get.
29:28
Speaker 2: Sent from Des Moines to Coralville. I think you're in
29:29
Speaker 2: big trouble, isn't that right? Cool logo?
29:33
Speaker 5: They play at the Extreme Arena, which is which is
29:36
Speaker 5: a new arena that hosts a lot of different types
29:39
Speaker 5: of event. I think that's home to one of the
29:40
Speaker 5: state high school. All right, it's volleyball or what, but
29:44
Speaker 5: they play something there for the Iowa State High School.
29:46
Speaker 2: Point is, we're gonna beat this team. All right, let's go.
29:48
Speaker 6: Yeah, eight hundred favorites hitt the Potawami sportsbook. I believe
29:51
Speaker 6: last I had checked, like money line was was heavy
29:56
Speaker 6: for for the the US men's team.
29:58
Speaker 2: What was the line on that minus nine ten? Currently
30:00
Speaker 2: on the my line? What was the line on Miracle
30:02
Speaker 2: on ice in nineteen eighty good question. I can only
30:04
Speaker 2: imagine it was up around that.
30:06
Speaker 5: Even more, I think they it's the greatest upset in
30:09
Speaker 5: sports history college kids against basically NHL players. I think
30:12
Speaker 5: they had lost. Was it seven to nothing or nine
30:15
Speaker 5: nothing to the Russians? They square card before that Olympics.
30:18
Speaker 2: Which is sort of the same situation with the women yesterday.
30:21
Speaker 3: I was we just blew them out on the pre limbs.
30:23
Speaker 3: I was worried, like is it gonna be? You know
30:25
Speaker 3: how that is the e or and me, of course
30:27
Speaker 3: you should have worried. It was that situation where of
30:30
Speaker 3: course it was closer than we thought. You kind of
30:32
Speaker 3: were hopeful, will blow them out again. They were a
30:34
Speaker 3: big favorite thing minus four eighty but boom, we had
30:37
Speaker 3: to win in overtime.
30:37
Speaker 2: Thankfully we did. But it was one of those situations.
30:39
Speaker 5: Eleven current or former Wisconsin Badgers and that game. Is
30:43
Speaker 5: that what I read, Yes five Canada.
30:45
Speaker 6: An awesome job by the graphics department at UW having
30:49
Speaker 6: them things at already to celebrate, especially Hillary Night Captain
30:53
Speaker 6: America and what a hell of a week for her
30:55
Speaker 6: Like that is that is one of the better stories
30:58
Speaker 6: sports story weeks that you can have getting engaged at
31:00
Speaker 6: your Olympic fiance and the next day the goal two
31:04
Speaker 6: minutes to go.
31:04
Speaker 5: And that's a great thing about the Olympics in general.
31:06
Speaker 5: You know, people come from all walks of life, from
31:08
Speaker 5: up the far corners of the I was stunned today.
31:11
Speaker 5: I was looking in Australia has six medals and I'm like,
31:14
Speaker 5: they don't have winter sports in aus but snowboarding, I
31:18
Speaker 5: guess you can do that anywhere, right, they're synthetic snow
31:22
Speaker 5: that you can make.
31:23
Speaker 2: Guess, yeah, that makes sense. I guess I would not.
31:25
Speaker 2: They're always to figure sporting and skiing interesting in Australia.
31:32
Speaker 2: Enough of this, all right, Hammon Bears, all right, enough
31:34
Speaker 2: of this. I've been trying to avoid it. Question for
31:38
Speaker 2: yous a very specific question, very specific question.
31:42
Speaker 3: You are a Bears fan, but you're also you haven't
31:44
Speaker 3: lived in the market that your favorite teams have been
31:46
Speaker 3: in forever. How much does the location of a stadium
31:48
Speaker 3: truly matter to you as a sports fan now, because
31:51
Speaker 3: I think it's answer is different for everybody, but for you, Dolf,
31:54
Speaker 3: if they're in Hammond, are you gonna get less enjoyment
31:56
Speaker 3: out of them winning and less pain out of them
31:58
Speaker 3: losing as you would, which I think is a natural
32:00
Speaker 3: what it is for a sportsman, right, Yeah, I mean
32:03
Speaker 3: I wouldn't arm it because I think it would be
32:05
Speaker 3: similar to going to Arlington Heights.
32:06
Speaker 5: Now, I get it, it's across state lines, but it's
32:09
Speaker 5: might even be closer than Arlington.
32:10
Speaker 2: I think it's twenty minutes from downtown from the Loop
32:12
Speaker 2: to Hammon.
32:13
Speaker 6: That's that's what my GPS was saying yesterday when I
32:15
Speaker 6: started Scotti because there, once I got out of Fox Lake,
32:19
Speaker 6: Michigan and into Fox Viana, right, it looks like it's.
32:22
Speaker 2: A It's what.
32:23
Speaker 5: There's a golf course, there's a casino there. There's an
32:25
Speaker 5: empathy outdoor empathy to there already.
32:27
Speaker 2: Is that what I mean? Listen, it's not a bad spot.
32:29
Speaker 6: I mean I drove by there and that was where
32:31
Speaker 6: I accidentally called the Indiana State Trooper because I accidentally
32:34
Speaker 6: bumped the emergency spot. Oh no on my Apple Watch
32:37
Speaker 6: because I got I got excited. There was a casino
32:39
Speaker 6: right there. Of course it was cool, But now I
32:41
Speaker 6: would be interested if they're gonna be able to put
32:43
Speaker 6: up the next casino that the Bears want to in
32:45
Speaker 6: their whole you know, like complex complex that you would
32:49
Speaker 6: assume that they're still trying to put there. But I mean,
32:52
Speaker 6: Indiana is an absolute go mode and DOLF it makes
32:55
Speaker 6: a lot of sense for the state of Indiana because
32:57
Speaker 6: if you are tied to the city of Chicago, the
33:00
Speaker 6: team will still be as much as people were asking,
33:03
Speaker 6: are they going to change the name and is the
33:04
Speaker 6: NFL going to force them to take the name Chicago off? No,
33:08
Speaker 6: they're not. No, I would be interested to see the
33:11
Speaker 6: state of Indiana is like Indianapolis is not getting another
33:14
Speaker 6: super Bowl. This is our way to get a super
33:17
Speaker 6: Bowl technically in our state, and we'll get more with
33:20
Speaker 6: it being tied to Chicago.
33:21
Speaker 2: It was an I raise.
33:22
Speaker 5: It was an eyebrow raising yesterday when I saw that
33:24
Speaker 5: one billion dollar number thrown out there, Like, my god,
33:28
Speaker 5: they are serious and if Illinois has half a brain,
33:32
Speaker 5: they better get on.
33:32
Speaker 2: This thing, you would think.
33:33
Speaker 6: Now again, it was very disappointed, very disappointed that they
33:37
Speaker 6: were not there, and Kevin Warren decided that he did
33:39
Speaker 6: not want to show up to the meeting and he
33:41
Speaker 6: chose to not be a part of this meeting. We
33:42
Speaker 6: compared it a little bit to like in a reality
33:46
Speaker 6: TV show, the interview that you have to do with
33:48
Speaker 6: the producer where they iso the camera up and you're
33:51
Speaker 6: talking about why they went on the one on one
33:53
Speaker 6: date with the person that you were sitting right next
33:55
Speaker 6: to in the station. I right moment, Yes, yeah, a
33:59
Speaker 6: good call there. So we're waiting, though, for the next contest,
34:02
Speaker 6: and we're waiting for Iowa to put this bill together. Tholf,
34:04
Speaker 6: are you guys going to enter the frame here? Last
34:06
Speaker 6: second to try to get.
34:07
Speaker 2: In now that I don't want to see. I don't
34:09
Speaker 2: want to see the Cedar Rapids Bear. That would change
34:12
Speaker 2: the enjoyment. If they were the Cedar Rapids Bear. Now
34:14
Speaker 2: you're talking what a couple hundred miles. Now that's the Coralville.
34:18
Speaker 2: They could go to Carlville. Harlan play in the extreme center. Yeah,
34:22
Speaker 2: but see, I think that's my question because there is
34:24
Speaker 2: a point where it's too far. Now what is that line?
34:27
Speaker 3: I think that answers for everybody. For some people, it's
34:29
Speaker 3: the symbolism of the state line that's the issue. If
34:32
Speaker 3: they weren't kanka Kee or somewhere that's even farther down south,
34:36
Speaker 3: but not in Indiana, I don't think it'd be as
34:37
Speaker 3: bad for some people.
34:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. You'd have to look. I don't know.
34:41
Speaker 5: Is New England or Buffalo? I mean those those towns
34:43
Speaker 5: are at least I mean, I think Foxborough is on
34:46
Speaker 5: the way to Rhode Island, isn't.
34:47
Speaker 6: It's a hike. Santa Clara had the Super Bowl. They're
34:49
Speaker 6: literally like an hour away from San Francis.
34:52
Speaker 5: I used to make that drive every single freaking day,
34:54
Speaker 5: and that's not those aren't close communities together, especially with
34:57
Speaker 5: the one on one traffic as ridiculous as it is.
35:00
Speaker 2: That's a long wais done. Santa Clair's basically San Jose. Yeah.
35:02
Speaker 6: Well, and Kittle was was joking about it with the
35:05
Speaker 6: guys on the Maxi Show and they're like, we're this
35:08
Speaker 6: is the great city.
35:09
Speaker 2: He goes, yeah, I wish I was up here. More like,
35:11
Speaker 2: what what do you mean?
35:12
Speaker 3: He goes, well, I I live twenty minutes south of
35:14
Speaker 3: the facility, so I'm like an hour plus.
35:17
Speaker 2: It's not realistic for that, but that is the other end.
35:21
Speaker 6: And again there's a lot of interesting parts of here.
35:23
Speaker 6: The Bears legit could stay in the same team hotel
35:26
Speaker 6: they stay in right now when they go to Soldier Field,
35:28
Speaker 6: because it's that close, right it is, it's like twenty
35:29
Speaker 6: minutes away.
35:30
Speaker 2: That's true. But they did invest.
35:32
Speaker 6: Significantly in redoing Hallas Hall, Yes, in the Lake Forest area.
35:37
Speaker 2: Would they keep that?
35:38
Speaker 3: Oh?
35:38
Speaker 2: I think so? Would they try to move the entire
35:40
Speaker 2: facility like there's that? That would be an interesting issue.
35:43
Speaker 3: I would be surprised though, Dolf at the facility wasn't
35:46
Speaker 3: that there's I mean, you're telling me the coaches and
35:48
Speaker 3: players a gonna go to Hallas Hall in the Lake
35:49
Speaker 3: Forest and drive all the way.
35:51
Speaker 5: It would be an extra twenty minutes to the stadium
35:53
Speaker 5: if they If they do, I can't see them. Yeah,
35:55
Speaker 5: I can't see them ever leaving Hallis Hall. I don't
35:57
Speaker 5: know how long they've been there, but my god, it
35:59
Speaker 5: has to be sixty seventy years that they've.
36:01
Speaker 6: Been I just like that they are forced to answer
36:03
Speaker 6: these questions. Yeahfter maybe the best year that they've.
36:06
Speaker 2: Had a while.
36:06
Speaker 6: Because there was one, uh, one chesty Bears fan. I
36:10
Speaker 6: decided to start yapping at the pool. Now I did,
36:14
Speaker 6: oh nice, let's go billy. Did you get into a lot?
36:17
Speaker 2: Know? I you know what I went on.
36:18
Speaker 5: I gave it.
36:18
Speaker 2: I gave him the thumbs down.
36:20
Speaker 6: After he gave the Bears down, I gave the thumbs down.
36:23
Speaker 2: Did you got Roman style where you did the slow
36:26
Speaker 2: thumbst and two?
36:27
Speaker 6: Right after him shook my head and laughed. I did
36:30
Speaker 6: go over and DApp I said, it's fun that this
36:32
Speaker 6: is fun again? Huh and he goes man, no kidding,
36:36
Speaker 6: Like there was a deep breath where it was like,
36:38
Speaker 6: thank goodness, it.
36:39
Speaker 2: Is relevant again.
36:41
Speaker 3: It is.
36:41
Speaker 6: But he also figured out one deal that I was
36:43
Speaker 6: kind of jealous of he had the table in the pool,
36:45
Speaker 6: so his drink was sitting right there.
36:47
Speaker 2: I did have to go. I did have to give
36:49
Speaker 2: some respect because my man had something. I like that.
36:51
Speaker 5: A lot of those all inclusive resorts you go to
36:52
Speaker 5: have the taco service where they'll come around with a
36:55
Speaker 5: floating raft full of tacosco.
36:57
Speaker 2: In the pool. Amazing you have something like that.
37:01
Speaker 5: I didn't see that on Boots on the Beach, but
37:02
Speaker 5: we've had it on pass Boots on the Beach, and
37:04
Speaker 5: I'm guessing you guys go to Vegas, I'm guessing that's
37:06
Speaker 5: probably you know, the floating.
37:09
Speaker 2: Something different they got. They got stuff floating, so they
37:11
Speaker 2: charge you for it.
37:12
Speaker 3: I mean, there's no you're not buying all that stuff
37:14
Speaker 3: in me sure on those bills there you would.
37:18
Speaker 2: You would not have been a fan of the Margaritaville spot.
37:22
Speaker 2: Not in Fort Myers. Well, no, I love forty two
37:25
Speaker 2: dollars milkshakes, don't get me wrong. What were they getting
37:28
Speaker 2: for a land shark all down there?
37:29
Speaker 3: Ten?
37:30
Speaker 2: I think it was ten A little souvenir cup.
37:32
Speaker 1: So you know there was a little hidden value, little
37:35
Speaker 1: little hidden value in there.
37:36
Speaker 6: That's an okay, beer, but when the little guy got
37:38
Speaker 6: that ten dollars milkshake and your whole life is got game.
37:43
Speaker 6: It was a game changer. Bad bedtime made it a
37:45
Speaker 6: little little interesting, that's for sure. Well, Hammond, Indiana, will
37:48
Speaker 6: be a great spot for the Chicago Bears first four
37:51
Speaker 6: thousand yeard passer.
37:52
Speaker 2: If we have to.
37:52
Speaker 5: I guess you know, I'm looking for the silver lining here,
37:54
Speaker 5: not having to deal with the loop traffic going around.
37:58
Speaker 2: Maybe I don't know, well that might work.
38:01
Speaker 5: I still think, I mean in the back of my
38:02
Speaker 5: mind that Illinois will get something done and they'll end
38:04
Speaker 5: up in a hill pass.
38:07
Speaker 2: They do also own the land in Arlington Heights. It
38:09
Speaker 2: still makes sense.
38:10
Speaker 6: And from what I listened yesterday, they everybody was still
38:13
Speaker 6: saying odds are it'll still be in Arlington Heights. They've
38:16
Speaker 6: also owned the land now for like three years, so
38:19
Speaker 6: they haven't done it. I'm wondering if they're gonna off
38:21
Speaker 6: do it or get off the pot. That's what I
38:22
Speaker 6: want to see. I'm on the south side of Milwaukee.
38:24
Speaker 6: That's fifty minutes from my front door at Arlington Heights.
38:26
Speaker 6: My buddy lived twenty minutes from there. I'm like you
38:28
Speaker 6: gotta be loving this.
38:29
Speaker 2: He goes, no, no, no.
38:32
Speaker 3: The board Bears game is from the stands, and you
38:36
Speaker 3: see the skylins. I don't want to see the Rosemot pavilion.
38:41
Speaker 3: He sounds like he's a real one. Actually, I like
38:42
Speaker 3: that he was pissed. He is mad about just about everything.
38:45
Speaker 3: So you still want those fans. Two exists.
38:48
Speaker 5: I love looking at the skyline when I met Bears
38:50
Speaker 5: games too, But I don't enjoy parking in the South
38:53
Speaker 5: Loop and trapesing thirty to forty minutes through Grant Park
38:56
Speaker 5: and past the museums and there's no tailgating and it's
38:59
Speaker 5: just dues, not like any other NFL stadium.
39:02
Speaker 6: And that's what Kevin Warren didn't like either. That's that's
39:05
Speaker 6: a phenomenal phenomena. I'm thinking, like, yeah, that's true.
39:08
Speaker 2: That is true.
39:08
Speaker 6: Now, I don't know that everyone in the Big ten
39:10
Speaker 6: would like you want to be clumped in with Kevin Warmon,
39:12
Speaker 6: But listen, it's a lot of more fun, a lot
39:14
Speaker 6: more fun. Dolph always appreciate whether we'll talk to you
39:16
Speaker 6: about you guys. There is Scott Dolphin from the Country
39:18
Speaker 6: Station down the Hall. Hunter b is in for Drew Wilson.
39:21
Speaker 6: Hunter be on air is where you follow all of
39:22
Speaker 6: his coverage. You got a Superhero of the day coming up,
39:25
Speaker 6: and it comes from high school sports with an NFL
39:29
Speaker 6: twist that with our friends from Current Electric on the
39:31
Speaker 6: other side, Armands right there on Billy, It's the Huddle
39:33
Speaker 6: on Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin,
