Speaker 4: It was better when they weren't because then I'd focused
4:38
Speaker 4: on the movie. Yeah, now I'm taking the absence you're
4:41
Speaker 4: 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
4:58
Speaker 6: intense 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 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.
5:23
Speaker 4: Very very exciting. It's super awesome. It's a story we
5:26
Speaker 4: should be able to. It's great that way, you know
5:28
Speaker 4: that the distribution is getting out there. More people will
5:30
Speaker 4: see it because it's something I'm sure everybody wants to see,
5:34
Speaker 4: should see, And we're better for hearing the story and
5:36
Speaker 4: learning about what's going on with that situation, and of
5:39
Speaker 4: course it helps out And you know, I love hearing stories.
5:45
Speaker 4: I love watching stories that are about real life, real
5:48
Speaker 4: things that move us as humans, and obviously this is
5:50
Speaker 4: one of them. And I think, Billy, you know, I
5:53
Speaker 4: don't want to get totally you know, go out and
5:56
Speaker 4: see it for yourself, have the reaction you have. But
5:58
Speaker 4: Billy Hunter hearing about this, talking to Matt Lapey, talking
6:01
Speaker 4: to Andy Kilbride, it's it's it's tragedy, but it's also
6:05
Speaker 4: the good things that can come from it, and that's
6:07
Speaker 4: learning lessons of the power of brotherhood and endeuring friendship
6:11
Speaker 4: and connecting as humans and and things. The silver linings
6:14
Speaker 4: we can find even in the toughest parts of life.
6:17
Speaker 4: So you know, anytime you can become moved as a
6:20
Speaker 4: human on things like that, and this is one of
6:21
Speaker 4: those examples.
6:22
Speaker 2: Go out and see it. Amazing stuff.

7:17
Speaker 6: seven three As we do huddle up here on a Friday.
7:22
Speaker 6: You know it apparently as deal making season.
7:25
Speaker 2: Guys. I guess I didn't realize it in because I.
7:29
Speaker 6: Don't traffic as much as I definitely should as a
7:33
Speaker 6: grown adult.
7:34
Speaker 4: Partially okay, well you know you're getting old. Now I'm
7:38
Speaker 4: starting to try to be a mature ring adult. I
7:41
Speaker 4: should be more in on the political game, all.
7:44
Speaker 2: Right, I should.
7:44
Speaker 6: I feel like I should know more about all their
7:46
Speaker 6: dealings and when they're going.
7:48
Speaker 4: With stuff, you know what, when when it comes to
7:50
Speaker 4: the true civic knowledge of the interworkings.
7:53
Speaker 2: Maybe yes, maybe I should. That's different than I think.
7:57
Speaker 4: I think that's different than some of the other politics
8:00
Speaker 4: of discourse that is sometimes.
8:01
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, you know.
8:13
Speaker 6: But in all reality, I'm probably gonna dig in more
8:16
Speaker 6: on where the cornerback position looks at the combine next week.
8:19
Speaker 6: So again, like I should be doing this all all theres,
8:22
Speaker 6: but I only have so much bandwidth, and I think
8:24
Speaker 6: I only have such an IQ level that sports is
8:26
Speaker 6: the perfect toy asle for me to be hanging out. Yeah,
8:29
Speaker 6: but like, but we get to venture into the political
8:31
Speaker 6: realms when sports and politics intersect. It always fascinates me
8:36
Speaker 6: where the anger on a lot of different sides will
8:40
Speaker 6: land and then where the you know, some people call
8:44
Speaker 6: it I'm slinging. Some people call it bashing and rhetoric.
8:49
Speaker 6: I just call it politics on both sides.
8:51
Speaker 4: Will roll, politicking, pandering, interplay, those type of things.
8:55
Speaker 6: And we are getting to see with one of the
8:57
Speaker 6: greatest rivalries in all of pro fourth 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 Ahard, been
9:18
Speaker 6: a Packers fan for fifty years, and I follow all
9:20
Speaker 6: Wisconsin teams. I followed you guys from that spot when
9:23
Speaker 6: you first came over here, still follow you on the huddle.
9:26
Speaker 6: Love It dropped his full phone number in there as
9:28
Speaker 6: well for Mike. Yes, we appreciate that from Mike and
9:30
Speaker 6: fox Lake. Now Mike and fox Lake is to join
9:33
Speaker 6: us on the other side of the state line. We
9:35
Speaker 6: get to watch a battle going on on the other
9:38
Speaker 6: side of the state line which is now going to
9:40
Speaker 6: hop potentially over another state line with the Chicago Bears.
9:44
Speaker 2: Yesterday and Arvin sorry, and I saw you instantly.
9:47
Speaker 4: I was in there instantly, jumping into the hotbed of
9:51
Speaker 4: internet discussion yesterday when in the State of Indiana policy
9:58
Speaker 4: twenty six b.
9:59
Speaker 2: I believe is how I how I say, then there.
10:01
Speaker 4: Were numbers and letters and bills and stuff like that
10:04
Speaker 4: there 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.
10:21
Speaker 6: Now they have put this as the wolf Lake Spot,
10:24
Speaker 6: apparently near Hammond, Indiana, right.
10:25
Speaker 4: Across the border the area I mean from from Google Maps.
10:29
Speaker 4: I've been all over the map, by the way, I mean,
10:31
Speaker 4: it's legitimately right over the state line right there. I
10:34
Speaker 4: mean there are parts of Indiana that are right there.
10:36
Speaker 4: I mean they are part of the state line. There
10:39
Speaker 4: are parts of Chicago proper you talk about you talk
10:41
Speaker 4: about West Pullman and Hegwish and on Arizona though some
10:44
Speaker 4: areas that are up against the city the state line
10:47
Speaker 4: right there, so they're in there in Indiana, they're in
10:50
Speaker 4: Chicago basically, And I.
10:51
Speaker 6: Don't know exactly whatever whatever GPS app you guys use.
10:56
Speaker 6: Some people use Apple, some people use Google, some people
10:58
Speaker 6: use Waves, some people.
11:00
Speaker 2: A lot of the spots. Sure, some people still have
11:03
Speaker 2: Magellan in their car. Come, yeah for sure. Yeah, map
11:07
Speaker 2: quest I'm still get printed out and I want every
11:10
Speaker 2: time I go book of the Wisconsin map.
11:13
Speaker 6: Yeah, it is right there in the in the couple
11:15
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.
11:30
Speaker 2: And we keep hearing that how it's closer to soldiers.
11:33
Speaker 4: However, is it a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful thing to watch
11:38
Speaker 4: the coping rolling through of Bears fans starting to possibly
11:42
Speaker 4: accept the idea armin that it will be the Indiana
11:45
Speaker 4: Bears when the shovels actually get into the ground, and
11:50
Speaker 4: that team might be moving out of the state of Illinois,
11:52
Speaker 4: and boys, you know, it couldn't have come at a
11:54
Speaker 4: better time for me.
11:56
Speaker 2: You been battling, you've been battling. You need something to
12:00
Speaker 2: go your way.
12:00
Speaker 4: Right, and you know this, you know what this is about, right,
12:03
Speaker 4: This is about me, right, this is about me.
12:05
Speaker 2: They had going back.
12:07
Speaker 4: And there are times, you know, Billy, where I have
12:09
Speaker 4: just tweeted my thoughts, you know, stream of consciousness, totally organic, authentic,
12:15
Speaker 4: and they have become you know, hot button tweets, you know,
12:19
Speaker 4: and you say, oh, you're trying to, and like sometimes
12:22
Speaker 4: I'm not really.
12:23
Speaker 2: Yesterday I was trying to.
12:24
Speaker 4: Yesterday I had one for all my favorites over there,
12:28
Speaker 4: you know, for super Bear eight twenty two over there,
12:32
Speaker 4: and for Bearing down one, and for Bears Believer in
12:35
Speaker 4: nineteen twenty and Doctor Johnny Bears over there, and for
12:39
Speaker 4: all the absolute dorks in Arlington Heights, Buffalo Girl, Palatine,
12:44
Speaker 4: just Planes, all the North Shore that, oh my gosh,
12:47
Speaker 4: they are absolutely in shambles right now, absolutely in shambles.
12:50
Speaker 2: That they're beloved Chicago Bears.
12:52
Speaker 4: And if you don't think that every time they lose
12:54
Speaker 4: a game, I'm not gonna sing bear down Hamm and Bears.
12:59
Speaker 2: Let's be honest. You gotta we're in the Wolfflake district.
13:03
Speaker 4: Nah if bear down Hamon Bears, we bring the pride
13:09
Speaker 4: of Carrie everywhere. When George Hallis founded us, he always
13:14
Speaker 4: wanted to.
13:15
Speaker 2: Get out of this state of blue.
13:19
Speaker 4: Bear down ham and Bears.
13:22
Speaker 2: We're gonna get close to a casino.
13:25
Speaker 4: However, we might not be able to build it because
13:28
Speaker 4: it's too close to the.
13:29
Speaker 2: Other one and might not get all the money that
13:32
Speaker 2: we wanted. Bear. I like that.
13:33
Speaker 4: That was amazing and kudos to you for coming up
13:35
Speaker 4: with like four verses 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. So if we're you know, we're being reasonable
13:44
Speaker 2: about it and we're being logical about it. Yeah, there
13:46
Speaker 2: are other pro.
13:47
Speaker 4: Teams that aren't in the spaces they reside, right. We
13:50
Speaker 4: know about the metal lands, we know about all that stuff.
13:53
Speaker 4: But this is funny. I'm sorry, that's hilarious. Now here's
13:56
Speaker 4: the other thing. There might be some residual positives for
13:58
Speaker 4: the organization. Well, I'm organation, the tax free all these
14:01
Speaker 4: deals and it's not a done deal yet. We don't
14:03
Speaker 4: know if they're just putting pressure again on Pritzker and Arlington.
14:06
Speaker 4: But you cannot tell me that these Bears fans grew
14:08
Speaker 4: up hoping their team of being Indiana. That's absolute copium.
14:12
Speaker 4: You are just coping right now. And I'll be honest
14:14
Speaker 4: with you. I'm loving watching the fan base crumble right now.
14:18
Speaker 4: I'm loving watching them getting their feelings just start flailing
14:21
Speaker 4: and saying no, this is fine and we don't want this,
14:23
Speaker 4: and then the other one saying we'll never ever wear
14:26
Speaker 4: a piece of Chicago Bears.
14:27
Speaker 2: You will lose me as a fan. I'm like, oh,
14:30
Speaker 2: I need all this please injected in my veins. Please
14:33
Speaker 2: let it wash over me. I need all this? Can
14:35
Speaker 2: 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 2: Might first, well, they listen. The state of.
15:01
Speaker 4: Indiana knows it all right, They've got I like that.
15:05
Speaker 2: Indiana is like, hey, we're gonna get two teams.
15:08
Speaker 6: And also, like you just start looking at it from
15:12
Speaker 6: a number of different ways, from from all the dealings.
15:14
Speaker 6: And again I don't know all the I don't know
15:16
Speaker 6: all the blue tape or the red tape. I don't
15:18
Speaker 6: And again blue or red, I apologize that was more
15:20
Speaker 6: a state of their their sports teams.
15:22
Speaker 2: Right, don't want anybody.
15:23
Speaker 4: Get mad at me for any political conversing. I'm not
15:25
Speaker 4: trying to make any of this political.
15:27
Speaker 2: I just think.
15:28
Speaker 4: Whatever it ends up being, yellow tape, probably yellow was
15:31
Speaker 4: the better one to go with.
15:32
Speaker 2: Hunter.
15:33
Speaker 6: That's why you're gonna make the biggest hash tape. Scotch
15:35
Speaker 6: tape does work. Duct tape maybe even better. But like
15:38
Speaker 6: you're they're home it together with Scotch tape. As to
15:42
Speaker 6: how they're staying in the city of Chicago, they then
15:46
Speaker 6: bought the land in Arlington Heights to go build it there.
15:51
Speaker 6: It doesn't appear they're asking for anything outlandish.
15:55
Speaker 4: Right, It's like exit rams and infrastructure, I believe well,
15:58
Speaker 4: and they want to know what they're going to pay
15:59
Speaker 4: for their rolling forward. And again this is where my
16:03
Speaker 4: little bit of reading and probably you know, sophomoric level
16:07
Speaker 4: as to how far I can read, it doesn't appear
16:10
Speaker 4: that they're asking for anything that all the other teams
16:12
Speaker 4: in Illinois have like. It sounds like the Cubs when
16:15
Speaker 4: they rebuilt a lot of Wrigley Field, got it pretty
16:18
Speaker 4: locked in, Like you're gonna pay about eight million bucks
16:20
Speaker 4: for your taxes every year, right, so you can crow
16:22
Speaker 4: bar it in, know what the cost certainty is and say,
16:26
Speaker 4: all right, sweet, I'll build it.
16:28
Speaker 6: The Bears have said they're building the stadium. They just
16:30
Speaker 6: want to know what they're gonna have going forward.
16:33
Speaker 4: And now it's not even that we won't build Dion
16:37
Speaker 4: ramp or off ramp yesterday.
16:39
Speaker 2: The conversation is, I just don't like the way they're
16:44
Speaker 2: doing business.
16:45
Speaker 4: And when you start getting that petty about something this big,
16:49
Speaker 4: it's gonna be about ego.
16:50
Speaker 2: And now we can really start watching and.
16:53
Speaker 5: Laugh, and then you go, Okay, Indiana passed the measure
16:56
Speaker 5: twenty four to zero. They want us, right, It's about
16:58
Speaker 5: who wants you, and you always want to be wanted.
17:01
Speaker 5: And so then all of a sudden the Bears are like, oh,
17:03
Speaker 5: they want us, maybe we'll go over there. Socier Field
17:06
Speaker 5: open in nineteen twenty four. You go from a historic stadium,
17:08
Speaker 5: and I know it's obviously not in the best of
17:11
Speaker 5: shape in twenty twenty six, but it's still a historic
17:14
Speaker 5: stadium when you look at the entire NFL and the landscape.
17:17
Speaker 2: But you go from that to.
17:19
Speaker 5: Move into Indiana, that's quite a It's and I know,
17:21
Speaker 5: like proximity wise, it's not a big move, but just
17:25
Speaker 5: in just in your mind if you're a fan, it's
17:28
Speaker 5: kind of like, oh man, you go from a historic
17:31
Speaker 5: stadium in the NFL, you're a historic franchise in the
17:33
Speaker 5: NFL to go play in Indiana.
17:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, home and probably in a dome. And you know
17:38
Speaker 2: what's funny always to me, guys, is and you.
17:40
Speaker 4: Brought it up kind of with with with they want
17:42
Speaker 4: us the twenty four zero thing.
17:44
Speaker 2: It's like, no matter.
17:45
Speaker 4: How older and mature and in terms of like higher
17:49
Speaker 4: rungs of the strata of society and we're supposed to get,
17:53
Speaker 4: it's the more it just becomes like high school, Like, well, listen,
17:56
Speaker 4: they showed us the love they want me.
17:58
Speaker 2: I want to feel, wanted to feel seen.
18:00
Speaker 4: And then it's like, how dare you guys think about
18:03
Speaker 4: even leaving us?
18:04
Speaker 2: That's just disrespect.
18:05
Speaker 4: We're talking for you all We've done, You're gonna always
18:07
Speaker 4: done together, Chicago. You didn't care about us in the
18:10
Speaker 4: first place. You didn't want to be here in the
18:12
Speaker 4: first place. It's not about being in Chicago. It's just
18:14
Speaker 4: about getting the best deal for yourself. You're that selfish.
18:17
Speaker 4: It's like, how can you do that? Oh my goodness,
18:20
Speaker 4: it is so hilarious how that works. And you know
18:22
Speaker 4: what I was trying to think yesterday, what's the craziest
18:24
Speaker 4: bear stat of all time? You talked about the thousand
18:27
Speaker 4: and four thousand years passer one never had that, it
18:30
Speaker 4: never had a thirty touchdown passer, you know, Dick Budkus
18:33
Speaker 4: and Gai Siers never made the playoffs. Or the fact
18:35
Speaker 4: that they don't have a team in Chicago anymore. What's
18:38
Speaker 4: the craziest that of all true? Now listen, now, maybe
18:41
Speaker 4: the Arlington deal will still happen. This might be the
18:44
Speaker 4: pressure they're putting on.
18:45
Speaker 2: We'll see. Well, I don't know, man. Again, now there's
18:48
Speaker 2: no football games to listen to.
18:49
Speaker 6: So I did have to I did have to hate
18:51
Speaker 6: listen to a little bit of Chicago sports, sure, and
18:54
Speaker 6: I had to figure I wanted to get what they
18:55
Speaker 6: were And again they're I think it seems pretty fifty
18:58
Speaker 6: to fifty.
18:59
Speaker 2: Like there's some people are like, who cares.
19:01
Speaker 6: I want the I want the state to do what's
19:03
Speaker 6: best for the state, and I don't know what is
19:06
Speaker 6: best right, Like there's some studies that say you don't
19:09
Speaker 6: get a certain amount of the money back. There's some
19:12
Speaker 6: studies that show all the economic growth that goes around it.
19:16
Speaker 6: I think about it, and again, this is why maybe
19:19
Speaker 6: I should be more educated and more mature on some
19:22
Speaker 6: of this. I think of the vibes of the city,
19:24
Speaker 6: and like the vibes of you, of your constituents in
19:26
Speaker 6: your state, like Armin when when we talked about it
19:28
Speaker 6: with the Brewers, like the memories that you can make,
19:30
Speaker 6: they can very much make those same memories with the
19:33
Speaker 6: team being on the other side of the state line.
19:34
Speaker 4: Yeah, but like will it feel the same though, I Mean,
19:37
Speaker 4: that's something we can't answer really for everybody.
19:40
Speaker 2: It's not like a tangible thing.
19:41
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 going to grow up, probably
19:50
Speaker 6: not 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 this stadium was an ash Wabanon and not
20:02
Speaker 6: in Green Bay. And then he told me why the
20:04
Speaker 6: guy's selling tickets but only be 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 1: It is.
20:16
Speaker 6: It's not an unfamiliar thing. However, for it to be
20:19
Speaker 6: this public, this odd dash it in the time in
20:24
Speaker 6: which they're finally as good as they are right now too,
20:28
Speaker 6: that is maybe the sweetest part, just when you would
20:31
Speaker 6: like for Bears fans, when Bears fans would like to
20:33
Speaker 6: be able to take their victory lap and send out,
20:36
Speaker 6: you know videos.
20:37
Speaker 4: We figured it out finally, Yeah, we figured this NFL
20:39
Speaker 4: thing out. Listen, you you're we're no longer anybody's little brother.
20:42
Speaker 4: Now you got to go over.
20:43
Speaker 2: To the other state and get a get a stadium.
20:45
Speaker 2: That's that's kind of tough. Yeah.
20:46
Speaker 5: Governor Pritzker with the statement saying it's very disappointing to
20:49
Speaker 5: hear that they would put that that statement out Bears
20:51
Speaker 5: talking about, you know that they are going to pursue
20:53
Speaker 5: things in Indiana, but not say anything about the advancement
20:57
Speaker 5: that that's been that's been made in the state of Illinois,
21:00
Speaker 5: waiting to hear from the Bears what they'd like to
21:02
Speaker 5: do next.
21:02
Speaker 4: Well, it's funny because that report last week was that
21:05
Speaker 4: they were moving closer to the Arlington deal being a
21:07
Speaker 4: done deal.
21:08
Speaker 5: Yeah, they had a hearing set for yesterday that they
21:10
Speaker 5: canceled at the best of.
21:11
Speaker 6: The Bears and Kevin Warren decided to not to chose
21:15
Speaker 6: to not be at He chose to not be there,
21:18
Speaker 6: and it's.
21:18
Speaker 2: All just cho real.
21:21
Speaker 6: You guys watched The Bachelor. This is like that interview
21:26
Speaker 6: with prince Er in Paradise. Bachelor Paradise much better, but
21:30
Speaker 6: that interview with Princeville. It's like, yeah, this is gonna
21:32
Speaker 6: feel like the solo shot interview they do after you know,
21:37
Speaker 6: somebody goes on the one on one date when you.
21:39
Speaker 2: Thought when that young person thought.
21:41
Speaker 6: They were going to get the one on one when
21:44
Speaker 6: they read off the date card in front.
21:45
Speaker 2: Of everybody, but waiting for the bus to come to come.
21:48
Speaker 6: I don't know, like when it's gonna be my turn.
21:51
Speaker 6: We just had we just had such a beautiful day together.
21:54
Speaker 6: Apparently that didn't mean anything. I just get no time,
21:56
Speaker 6: Like I'm away from my kids, I'm away from my job.
21:59
Speaker 6: I just gave up everything basically to be here, and
22:00
Speaker 6: now I.
22:01
Speaker 2: Just just didn't even get picked. I picked like I
22:03
Speaker 2: don't even know.
22:04
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
22:13
Speaker 6: calm everything down like that is gonna be.
22:16
Speaker 2: It is a full reality TV show.
22:18
Speaker 4: I just wish we would get the after this is
22:20
Speaker 4: all said, and then we won't get the reunion show,
22:22
Speaker 4: because that would be pretty funny.
22:23
Speaker 2: The reunion show.
22:24
Speaker 4: Why you told me you loved me and you're in
22:27
Speaker 4: love with me? And why you made love to me
22:28
Speaker 4: if you weren't in love with me? Tell all, tell all,
22:31
Speaker 4: I'm bear, tell all. I just you told me in Hometowns,
22:35
Speaker 4: I was the one. I'm sorry in our told me
22:38
Speaker 4: in the fantasy I was the one. Fantasy suits, I
22:41
Speaker 4: was the one.
22:41
Speaker 6: So uh so they got to the fantasy suite with
22:45
Speaker 6: Soldier Field Lot, Arlington Heights and now apparently the third
22:50
Speaker 6: one is in Hammond, Indiana and.
22:52
Speaker 2: The wolf Lake area right Wolflake.
22:54
Speaker 6: Indiana in Indiana, and I did also again I was
22:58
Speaker 6: I was a map question.
22:59
Speaker 2: I was having a fun on there's fun to look
23:01
Speaker 2: at it.
23:01
Speaker 6: I accidentally jumped on wolf Lake Minas or Michigan and
23:05
Speaker 6: Armand I'll tell you when I thought that they were
23:07
Speaker 6: potentially closer to Kalamazoo than where their new stadium would be,
23:11
Speaker 6: that was a time where I wish you could have lived,
23:13
Speaker 6: because it was a fun, fun thought. Those tweets that
23:17
Speaker 6: I put up ready to draft, sad sadly, I deleted
23:22
Speaker 6: them because there was I had to do some fact
23:24
Speaker 6: checking eight seven seven seven nine four nine seven three
23:26
Speaker 6: or maybe maybe there's one more contestant, right, because in
23:28
Speaker 6: the midst of that show, every once in a while,
23:31
Speaker 6: they're like three weeks in and they bring in.
23:33
Speaker 2: Someone true that was Iowa. Remember that Iowa. Could Iowa walk.
23:38
Speaker 6: In here coming up for our halftime report and say,
23:41
Speaker 6: excuse me, we'd.
23:42
Speaker 5: Like to pass the bill too, the Battle for the
23:44
Speaker 5: Bears between Iowa and Indiana.
23:46
Speaker 4: And of all the discussion we have on this and
23:48
Speaker 4: all the topics about it, there's one specific question I'm
23:51
Speaker 4: going to have four Dolph when we get to them
23:53
Speaker 4: about a bar fan. I want all he feels about
23:56
Speaker 4: it being sort of an out of town guy.
23:58
Speaker 6: And that one comes up on the other side. Arman
23:59
Speaker 6: sourians right there. Hunter Bombguard is in for Jerrolsen.
24:02
Speaker 2: I'm Billy.
24:02
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 Am and Bears against the Schwabanon 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
24:18
Speaker 6: nine four one nine seven three.
24:20
Speaker 2: So you want it done? There right there?
24:21
Speaker 6: Eight seven seven seven nine four one nine seven three.
24:23
Speaker 6: Dolphs in with us next on the Fox Sports Radio
24:26
Speaker 6: Wisconsin Street. All huddle up halftime has reached us here
24:39
Speaker 6: on this beautiful Friday.
24:41
Speaker 2: It's flying by fast here in the good Land.
24:44
Speaker 6: I'm Bill Schmid Hunter Bombguard in for Drew Olsen alongside
24:47
Speaker 6: our knockin ote out Arman Sarian for one more day,
24:50
Speaker 6: and stepping in for our halftime entertainment.
24:52
Speaker 3: Scott Dolphin of Notchay Station. I like it noting ode
24:55
Speaker 3: out one more day.
24:57
Speaker 2: With the cbsnogin o jacket one more day. No.
24:59
Speaker 6: I did 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 to see if
25:06
Speaker 6: he can earn it.
25:07
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think we need to see your smell that,
25:10
Speaker 3: to be honest with.
25:11
Speaker 2: You, smelling is a very important thing. But it is mine.
25:13
Speaker 3: The glass Armand are you going to now maybe for
25:16
Speaker 3: the next Olympics, the next one Olympics, which I believer
25:18
Speaker 3: in France. Are you gonna, you know, rock Albertville.
25:21
Speaker 4: Or oh, if you give me some Albertville gear, if
25:23
Speaker 4: it's free, it's a kiddy. I would love some vintage.
25:29
Speaker 4: I would love some Squad Valley nineteen sixty alley. Yeah,
25:32
Speaker 4: I would love some more vintage Olympic gear.
25:35
Speaker 2: Big Vegas. Pete was kind enough to give me some
25:37
Speaker 2: of his old stuff.
25:38
Speaker 3: I think people forget that California hosted the Winter Olympics
25:41
Speaker 3: back in the day.
25:41
Speaker 4: And that was the only other time the US men's
25:43
Speaker 4: hockey team won gold.
25:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, except for eighty until this year, until this one.
25:47
Speaker 2: We're taking it. Yes, this year, we gotta get past Slovakia. Today,
25:51
Speaker 2: got to get past.
25:51
Speaker 3: Lakia today tough and like every other roster, they are
25:54
Speaker 3: littered with NHL to Yes, Slovakia.
25:56
Speaker 2: Well and Dolphin.
25:57
Speaker 6: We talked about it and kind of let it off because
25:59
Speaker 6: it is I fall into all different sports and you
26:03
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
26:08
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 higher, 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
26:28
Speaker 6: we're going to get teams to care about the game tonight?
26:31
Speaker 6: Like that's literally the owners meeting yesterday was how do
26:34
Speaker 6: we make you guys want to win the game you're playing.
26:36
Speaker 2: That's crazy that that's how we have to talk to teams.
26:39
Speaker 4: But like there's a spot for a winter sports to
26:42
Speaker 4: really get a boom, and when you get young people
26:44
Speaker 4: to watch the best athletes in the world playing for
26:47
Speaker 4: games that matter, Like I think these next two games
26:49
Speaker 4: are huge for this absolutely playing for their country.
26:52
Speaker 3: You see a few things you don't normally see, like
26:54
Speaker 3: the three on three that doesn't happen in the NHL.
26:56
Speaker 3: So that's got to be exciting for these guys to
26:58
Speaker 3: be doing something new. But to be able to put
27:00
Speaker 3: on the red, white and blue or whatever your country's
27:02
Speaker 3: colors are, that's a whole another level. Yeah, that's why
27:06
Speaker 3: I think this would be a hell of a game today.
27:07
Speaker 3: They lost to Slovakia. It was in the World Championships
27:10
Speaker 3: 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 4: They're one of these teams with a discipline defense and
27:18
Speaker 4: they keep the thing closed.
27:19
Speaker 2: You're talking about the three on three.
27:21
Speaker 4: It's an absolute and equalizer when you get to that
27:23
Speaker 4: open eyed three. They got a big four check, is
27:25
Speaker 4: what you're saying, Big four check effects of coaching. I
27:28
Speaker 4: think they you know it's they're up, and you know
27:30
Speaker 4: that now we can get deeper in the third line,
27:32
Speaker 4: you know.
27:33
Speaker 2: Sure, you know.
27:33
Speaker 3: It's funny you mentioned their goalies because one of them,
27:36
Speaker 3: what they say, one of their goalies is in the
27:38
Speaker 3: Admirals a place for the Iowa wild. One of them
27:40
Speaker 3: is a University of Minnesota Duluth goalie for Slovakia. So
27:44
Speaker 3: they've got they've got an interesting array of guys. But
27:47
Speaker 3: like you said, you catch fire in the Olympics, it
27:49
Speaker 3: doesn't 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 Ara Dolph.
28:06
Speaker 6: I think, like the sport is just going to continue
28:08
Speaker 6: to get better.
28:09
Speaker 3: Quinn case in point, Quinn Hughes who hit that big goal,
28:11
Speaker 3: the game winder in Michigan Wolverine, Yeah, in twenty nineteen
28:14
Speaker 3: 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.
28:20
Speaker 4: Make more, make money, and some guys seem to do
28:23
Speaker 4: better in different environments, you know. Famously, in nineteen eighty
28:26
Speaker 4: Jim Craig was really really good in goal for the
28:29
Speaker 4: us Men, but he was having some consistency issues, you know,
28:33
Speaker 4: college and trying to get into the NHL, and that
28:35
Speaker 4: was the big question, like is he the better goalie?
28:37
Speaker 4: I know early on the guy you're talking about is
28:39
Speaker 4: Samuel I don't know how to pronounce it. A Lavaj,
28:42
Speaker 4: I know, the jay As Island. Probably he plays with
28:44
Speaker 4: the IBA Wild and apparently you know he was struggling.
28:48
Speaker 2: I mean he was.
28:49
Speaker 5: Yeah, the headline is meet the Struggling ahl Er starring
28:52
Speaker 5: in Slovakia's Cinderella Olympic runs. So clearly a change of
28:55
Speaker 5: scenery is what's working for him and playing the Olympics.
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.
29:06
Speaker 4: He got sent down to the e h l's Iowa Heartlanders.
29:10
Speaker 4: I don't know where they are. All I know is
29:13
Speaker 4: that it's got to be Grinnell's team. That's got to
29:16
Speaker 4: be like the Armpit Iowa's a.
29:19
Speaker 3: Week unless Billy mentioned Grinnell, Iowa at least once. Coralville,
29:25
Speaker 3: that's Iowa City, Okay, okay, But you get.
29:27
Speaker 2: Sent from Des Moines to Coralville, I think you're in
29:29
Speaker 2: big trouble. Isn't right cool logo.
29:33
Speaker 3: They play at the Extreme Arena, which is which is
29:36
Speaker 3: a new arena that hosts a lot of different types
29:39
Speaker 3: of event. I think that's home to one of the
29:40
Speaker 3: state high school. All right, it's volleyball or what, but
29:43
Speaker 3: they play something there for the Iowa State High School.
29:45
Speaker 6: Point is we're gonna beat this team, all right, let's go. Yeah,
29:49
Speaker 6: eight hundred favorites at the Podwami Sports Book. 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 3: What was the line on that minus nine currently on
30:00
Speaker 3: the line. What was the line on Miracle on ice
30:02
Speaker 3: in nineteen eighty good question.
30:04
Speaker 2: I can only imagine it was up around that.
30:05
Speaker 3: Even more, I think they it's the greatest upset in
30:08
Speaker 3: sports history, college kids against basically NHL players. I think
30:12
Speaker 3: they had lost. Was it seven to nothing or nine nothing?
30:15
Speaker 3: To the Russians? They square card before that Olympics.
30:18
Speaker 2: Which was sort of the same situation with the women yesterday.
30:21
Speaker 2: I was we just blew them out on the pre limbs.
30:23
Speaker 4: I was worried, like is it gonna be you know
30:25
Speaker 4: how that is the e or and me of course
30:27
Speaker 4: should have worried, and it was that situation where, of
30:30
Speaker 4: course it was closer than we thought. You kind of
30:32
Speaker 4: were hopeful will blow them out again. They were a
30:34
Speaker 4: big favorite thing minus four eighty but boom, we had
30:36
Speaker 4: to win in overtime.
30:37
Speaker 2: Thankfully we did. But it was one of those situations.
30:39
Speaker 3: Eleven current or former Wisconsin Badgers and that game. Is
30:43
Speaker 3: 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 that celebrate especially Hillary Night Captain America.
30:53
Speaker 6: What a hell of a week for her like that is.
30:55
Speaker 6: That is one of the better stories sports story weeks
30:59
Speaker 6: that you can have getting age to your Olympic and
31:02
Speaker 6: the next day hit the time goal two minutes to go.
31:04
Speaker 3: And that's a great thing about the Olympics in general.
31:06
Speaker 3: You know, people come from all walks of life, from
31:08
Speaker 3: up the far corners of the I was stunned today.
31:10
Speaker 3: I was looking in Australia has six medals and I'm like,
31:14
Speaker 3: they don't have winter sports in as but snowboarding. I
31:18
Speaker 3: guess you can do that anywhere, right, They're synthetic snow
31:22
Speaker 3: that you can make.
31:22
Speaker 6: Guess, yeah, that makes sense, I guess I would not
31:26
Speaker 6: always to figure sporting and.
31:28
Speaker 2: Skiing interesting in Australia. Enough of this, all right, Hammon Bears,
31:33
Speaker 2: all right, enough of this. I've been trying to avoid it.
31:38
Speaker 2: Question for you has a very specific question, very specific question.
31:41
Speaker 4: You are a Bears fan, but you're also you haven't
31:44
Speaker 4: lived in the market that your favorite teams have been
31:46
Speaker 4: in forever. How much does the location of a stadium
31:48
Speaker 4: truly matter to you as a sports fan? Now? Because
31:51
Speaker 4: I think it's answer is different for everybody, But for you, Dolf,
31:54
Speaker 4: if they're in Hammond, are you gonna get less enjoyment
31:56
Speaker 4: out of them winning and the less pain out of
31:58
Speaker 4: them losing as you would, which I think is natural
32:00
Speaker 4: what it is for a sportsman.
32:02
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, I mean I wouldn't arm it because I
32:04
Speaker 3: think it would be similar to going to Arlington Heights. Now,
32:06
Speaker 3: I get it, it's across state lines, but it's might
32:09
Speaker 3: 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 Scottish, because once I got out of Fox Lake,
32:19
Speaker 6: Michigan and into Foxton, Viana, right, it looks like.
32:22
Speaker 3: It's a It's what, there's a golf course, there's a
32:24
Speaker 3: casino there. There's an 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.
32:39
Speaker 1: Of course it was cool.
32:40
Speaker 6: But now I would be interested if they're gonna be
32:42
Speaker 6: able to put up the next casino that the Bears
32:45
Speaker 6: want to in their whole you know, like complex complex
32:48
Speaker 6: that you would assume that they're still trying to put there.
32:51
Speaker 6: But I mean, Indiana is an absolute go mode and
32:54
Speaker 6: DOLF it makes a lot of sense for the state
32:56
Speaker 6: of Indiana because if you are tied to the city
32:59
Speaker 6: of Chicago, the team will still be as much as
33:02
Speaker 6: people were asking, are they going to change the name
33:04
Speaker 6: and is the NFL going to force them to take
33:06
Speaker 6: the name Chicago off?
33:07
Speaker 4: No, they're not.
33:08
Speaker 6: No, I would be interested to see the State of
33:11
Speaker 6: Indiana's like Indianapolis is not getting another Super Bowl. This
33:16
Speaker 6: is our way to get a super Bowl technically in
33:18
Speaker 6: our state, and we'll get more with it being tied
33:21
Speaker 6: to Chicago.
33:21
Speaker 2: It was an I raise.
33:22
Speaker 3: It was an eyebrow raising yesterday when I saw that
33:24
Speaker 3: one billion dollar number thrown out there, Like, my god,
33:28
Speaker 3: they are serious and if Illinois has half a brain,
33:31
Speaker 3: they better get on this thing.
33:33
Speaker 2: 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
33:40
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.
33:55
Speaker 2: Next to in the station. I moment, yes, yeah, good call. There.
34:00
Speaker 6: We're waiting, though, for the next contest, and we're waiting
34:02
Speaker 6: for Iowa to put this bill together. Tholf, are you
34:04
Speaker 6: guys gonna nentwer the frame here last second to try
34:06
Speaker 6: to get in now that I.
34:07
Speaker 2: Don't want to see. I don't want to see the
34:10
Speaker 2: Cedar rapids bear that would change the enjoyment. If they
34:12
Speaker 2: were the Cedar Rapids bear now you're talking what a
34:15
Speaker 2: couple hundred miles.
34:16
Speaker 4: No, that's the Coralville. They could go to Carlville, play
34:20
Speaker 4: in the extreme center. Yeah, but see, I think that's
34:23
Speaker 4: my question because there is a point where it's too far. Now,
34:26
Speaker 4: what is that line? I think that answers him for everybody.
34:28
Speaker 4: For some people, it's the symbolism of the state line.
34:31
Speaker 4: That's the issue. If they weren't kanka Kee or somewhere
34:33
Speaker 4: that's even farther down south, but not in Indiana, I
34:37
Speaker 4: don't think it'd be as 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 3: Is New England or Buffalo? I mean those those towns
34:43
Speaker 3: are at least I mean, I think Foxborough is on
34:46
Speaker 3: 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.
34:51
Speaker 3: I used to make that drive every single freaking day,
34:54
Speaker 3: and that's not Those aren't close communities together, especially with
34:57
Speaker 3: the one on one traffic as ridiculous as it is,
35:00
Speaker 3: It's a long wais Don Santa Claire's basically San Jose.
35:02
Speaker 4: 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 6: He goes, well, I I live twenty minutes south of
35:14
Speaker 6: 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.
35:20
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
35:25
Speaker 6: they stay in right now when they go to Soldier Field,
35:27
Speaker 6: because it's that close, right it is.
35:29
Speaker 2: It's like twenty minutes away. That's true. But they did invest.
35:31
Speaker 6: Significantly in redoing Hallis Hall in the Lake Forest area.
35:37
Speaker 2: Would they keep that?
35:38
Speaker 4: 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 4: I would be surprised, though, Dolf, if the facility wasn't
35:45
Speaker 4: that there's I mean, you're telling me that the coaches
35:47
Speaker 4: and players are gonna go to Hellas Hall in the
35:49
Speaker 4: Lake Forest and drive all the way.
35:51
Speaker 3: It would be an extra twenty minutes to the stadium.
35:53
Speaker 3: If they If they, I can't see them. Yeah, I
35:55
Speaker 3: can't see them ever leaving hallis Hall. I don't know
35:57
Speaker 3: how long they've been there, but my god, it has
35:59
Speaker 3: to be sixty seventy years.
36:01
Speaker 6: That they've been I just like that they are forced
36:03
Speaker 6: to answer these questions. Yeah, after maybe the best year
36:06
Speaker 6: that they've had a while. Because there was one, uh,
36:08
Speaker 6: one chesty Bears fan, I decided to start yapping at
36:12
Speaker 6: the pool.
36:13
Speaker 2: Now I did, Oh nice, let's go, Billy. Did you
36:16
Speaker 2: get into them?
36:16
Speaker 4: I know you know what I went on.
36:18
Speaker 2: I gave it.
36:18
Speaker 4: I gave him the thumbs down. After he gave the
36:21
Speaker 4: Bears down, I gave the thumbs down.
36:23
Speaker 3: Did you get Roman Nipper style where you did the
36:26
Speaker 3: slow thumbst and two?
36:27
Speaker 2: Right after him shook my head and laughed.
36:29
Speaker 6: I did go over and DApp I said, it's fun
36:31
Speaker 6: that this is fun again? Huh and he goes man,
36:35
Speaker 6: no kidding.
36:36
Speaker 2: Like there was a deep breath where it was like,
36:38
Speaker 2: thank goodness, it is relevant again.
36:40
Speaker 4: 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 4: I did have to go.
36:48
Speaker 2: I did have to give some respect because my man
36:50
Speaker 2: had something. I liked that.
36:51
Speaker 3: A lot of those all inclusive resorts you go to
36:52
Speaker 3: have the taco service when they'll come around with a
36:55
Speaker 3: floating raft full of tacos in the pool.
36:57
Speaker 2: Amazing at that Boots on the Beach you have something
37:00
Speaker 2: like that.
37:01
Speaker 3: I didn't see that on Boots on the Beach, but
37:02
Speaker 3: we've had it on pass Boots on the Beach. And
37:04
Speaker 3: I'm guessing you guys go to Vegas, I'm guessing that's probably,
37:06
Speaker 3: you know, the floating.
37:08
Speaker 2: Something different they got. They got stuff floating, right, so
37:11
Speaker 2: they charge it for it. I mean, there's no you're
37:13
Speaker 2: not buying all that stuffing sure those bills there, you.
37:18
Speaker 6: Would you would not have been a fan of the
37:20
Speaker 6: Margaritaville spot, not in Fort Myers.
37:23
Speaker 2: Well, no, I love forty two dollars milkshakes, don't get
37:26
Speaker 2: me wrong. What were they getting for a land shark
37:28
Speaker 2: all down there?
37:29
Speaker 4: I think ten?
37:30
Speaker 6: I think it was ten a little souvenir cup, so
37:32
Speaker 6: you know there was a little hidden value, little little
37:35
Speaker 6: hidden value in there.
37:36
Speaker 2: That's an okay beer.
37:37
Speaker 6: But when the little guy got that ten dollars milkshake
37:39
Speaker 6: and your whole life is you got a game. It
37:43
Speaker 6: was a game changer. Go bad bedtime made it a
37:45
Speaker 6: little little interesting, that's for sure. Well, Hamm in Indiana
37:48
Speaker 6: will be a great spot for the Chicago Bears first
37:50
Speaker 6: four thousand yeard passer.
37:52
Speaker 2: If we have to.
37:52
Speaker 3: I guess you know, I'm looking for the silver lining here,
37:54
Speaker 3: not having to deal with the loop traffic going around.
37:58
Speaker 2: Maybe I don't know that might work. I still think,
38:01
Speaker 2: I mean.
38:02
Speaker 3: In the back of my mind that Illinois will get
38:03
Speaker 3: something done and they'll end up in a.
38:06
Speaker 2: Hill poss They do also own the land in Arlington Heights.
38:09
Speaker 2: It 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
38:18
Speaker 6: they haven't done it. I'm wondering if they're gonna do
38:21
Speaker 6: it or get off the pot.
38:22
Speaker 3: That's what I want to see. I'm on the south
38:23
Speaker 3: side of Milwaukee. That's fifty minutes from my front door
38:25
Speaker 3: at Arlington Heights.
38:26
Speaker 2: My buddy lived twenty minutes from there. I'm like, you
38:28
Speaker 2: gotta be loving this. He goes no, no, no.
38:31
Speaker 4: The boar a Bears game is looked on from the
38:35
Speaker 4: stands and you see the skylish I don't want to
38:39
Speaker 4: see the Rosemot pavilion.
38:40
Speaker 2: He sounds like he's a real one. Actually, I like
38:42
Speaker 2: he was pissed now he just had about just about everything.
38:45
Speaker 2: So you still want those fans to exist.
38:48
Speaker 3: I love looking at the skyline when I met Bears
38:50
Speaker 3: games too, But I don't enjoy parking in the South
38:53
Speaker 3: Loop and trapesing thirty to forty minutes through Grant Park
38:56
Speaker 3: and past the museums and there's no tailgating, and it's
38:59
Speaker 3: just it's not like any other NFL stadium.
39:02
Speaker 6: And that's what Kevin Warren didn't like either. We that's
39:04
Speaker 6: that's a phenomenal phenomena. I's thinking, like, yeah, that's true.
39:07
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 Warre.
39:12
Speaker 6: But listen, it's a lot of more fun, a lot
39:13
Speaker 6: more fun. Dolpf always appreciate whether to talk to you
39:15
Speaker 6: about you guys. Area is Scott Dolphin from the Country
39:18
Speaker 6: Station down the hall. Hunter B is in for Drew Olsen.
