- 20:11Speaker 1: think he said he might retire after slow Horses. Oh okay,
- 20:16Speaker 1: And the Bears got their nicknames just because they harassed

- 20:32Speaker 2: It goes back to before they were the Chicago Bears.
- 20:36Speaker 2: But in Chicago, Midway is it's a thing. It's not
- 20:43Speaker 2: just an airport. It's a thing. But because they had
- 20:46Speaker 2: this kind of attached to the team that I think
- 20:49Speaker 2: eventually became the Bears, and then Chicago and Midway are
- 20:54Speaker 2: kind of synonymous that you know, that nickname kind of
- 20:58Speaker 2: stuck for them, and especially in nineteen eighty five when
- 21:02Speaker 2: they only lost one game en route to winning the
- 21:05Speaker 2: Super Bowl. Nice and then you know, everybody's like, wow,
- 21:09Speaker 2: the monsters are the Midway. Also, uh, Chicago I think
- 21:14Speaker 2: is the headquarters for Midway games. If you're a Mortal

- 21:43Speaker 1: when you play it once every three years or something.
- 21:46Speaker 2: That's true.
- 21:47Speaker 1: If you owned a pinball machine, you could probably figure
