0:12
[SPEAKER_00]: What's up, Chicago Bears fans?
0:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Happy summer.
0:14
[SPEAKER_00]: It's been far too long.
0:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Another edition of Bears Overbears Powered by Second City Grid Iron.
0:20
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm Ryan Drosty joined as always by Brian Orangeuk.
0:25
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to have a special guest joining us here in about 30 minutes.
0:28
[SPEAKER_00]: As well, we've got a loaded show tonight.
0:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Brian, how you doing?
0:33
[SPEAKER_02]: Doing great, doing great.
0:35
[SPEAKER_02]: It is summer, middle of summer's feeling hot, great time for some light beers, some hazys, maybe tropical, if you fail in that sort of thing in the summer heat.
0:47
[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, we've not seen each other a lot.
0:50
[SPEAKER_02]: And football season never stops, right?
0:53
[SPEAKER_02]: It might get slow, but it never stops.
0:55
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's been a while since you and I have chatted, you've had a,
0:58
[SPEAKER_02]: fun trip down south and talk to some bears fans from all over.
1:06
[SPEAKER_02]: And looking forward to uniting more bears fans abroad tonight with our guests or special guests.
1:13
[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, excited to see
1:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we're going to have Rob from Talley Brand on here a little bit where we're wrapping the merch right here.
1:20
[SPEAKER_00]: And Brian's got his hat on as you can see.
1:23
[SPEAKER_00]: He's going to give us kind of the background behind Talley Brand, which has really been catching on on social media.
1:28
[SPEAKER_00]: If you're on Twitter, you've definitely seen some of their gear.
1:30
[SPEAKER_00]: And we're going to talk to Rob about just his fandom as a bear's fan as well.
1:33
[SPEAKER_00]: So looking forward to that, we'll see what he has in the glass tonight when we bring him on.
1:39
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, Brian, I'm going to talk about my journey down south because I had so many comments directed at me when I wore my bears gear and I think it's worth a mention on the show.
1:47
[SPEAKER_00]: But before we get into all of that, you know, I don't want to put it off any longer.
1:52
[SPEAKER_00]: What's in the glass tonight, sir?
1:54
[SPEAKER_02]: I go first gladly gladly go first.
1:58
[SPEAKER_02]: So.
1:59
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the limits of my newest cooler with a tall boy, 19.9, or sorry, 19.2 ounces.
2:08
[SPEAKER_02]: This, as you all may know, Goose Island brewery, Chicago-based brewery, and this is their beer hug variety, a big hazy pineapple IPA, 9.9% Goose Island, looking forward to connecting with you more.
2:27
[SPEAKER_02]: Talking to a lot of people where I am in North Carolina, and it's a popular beer here, it's a popular beer everywhere.
2:35
[SPEAKER_02]: Love, I just actually tried these recently within the last year for the first time, and I loved it new and I talked about it.
2:40
[SPEAKER_02]: And looking forward to this summer pineapple, HZIPA, how about you?
2:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I wanted to make sure I had a different one because I was at the liquor store the other day Brian and you had sent me a message that you had I think three different flavors of the beer hug from Goose Island and I'm like, all right, I got to pick up one so I got it's not the big 19 answers just it's 12 out I got the big mango beer hug imperial IPA which is also 9.9% just like yours and they go down.
3:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Pretty easy for a 10% beer, I must say.
3:17
[SPEAKER_00]: In fact, I was having one with my wife the other night.
3:20
[SPEAKER_00]: And she went through hers really quick.
3:22
[SPEAKER_00]: And she's like, should I have another one?
3:23
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, I mean, you might want to slow down.
3:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
3:25
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, you just had one, they're 10%.
3:29
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, man, they go down really nicely.
3:32
[SPEAKER_00]: It's good stuff.
3:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Goose Island was probably the first Chicago brewery I ever visited way back when I turned 21.
3:40
[SPEAKER_00]: I still try to get there when I'm in time to get to that one of the up on the right.
3:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
3:45
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
3:45
[SPEAKER_02]: You're from that area.
3:47
[SPEAKER_02]: So more familiar to you, although I've been a big fan of their bourbon barrel stuff, but we'll save that for, in fact, I had that on one of the last shows we had, so we'll talk more about that later.
3:59
[SPEAKER_02]: But cheers, my man.
4:02
[SPEAKER_00]: I also have our glass.
4:03
[SPEAKER_00]: So there we go.
4:04
[SPEAKER_02]: I got a sleeve on it now.
4:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Very nice.
4:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Cheers.
4:06
[SPEAKER_02]: Great seeing you.
4:10
[SPEAKER_00]: as well, great to see you in the spirit too.
4:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Very nice.
4:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Always good on a hot day.
4:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Speaking of on a hot day, Brian, I spent seven days in Orlando took the family to Disney World with with the grandparents, my parents were very generous and taken my girls down there so they could experience Disney World with with my my sister's kids and we had a big family trip and I was pretty much rep in the bears every single day.
4:37
[SPEAKER_00]: The first night I was there, I was wearing
4:41
[SPEAKER_00]: And I went to one of those character meals at one of the resorts near Magic Kingdom, I can remember, which one it was.
4:47
[SPEAKER_00]: The one that looks like the famous hotel in San Diego, Grand Floridian.
4:53
[SPEAKER_00]: I was at the buffet there.
4:56
[SPEAKER_00]: And the guy who was cutting, you know, the meat, I went up and he saw my shirt and he was a packers fan.
5:03
[SPEAKER_00]: And he started to trash talk in me.
5:05
[SPEAKER_00]: He's like, oh, you know, you had one good year.
5:07
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, I don't know.
5:08
[SPEAKER_00]: We got the quarterback in the coach.
5:10
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I think it's going to be a good team for a while.
5:12
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, yeah, we'll see.
5:14
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I'm wearing my one of my bear's hats.
5:18
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like the draft hat from a couple of days, a couple of years ago.
5:21
[SPEAKER_00]: I had multiple people make jokes about the Indiana bears to me.
5:27
[SPEAKER_00]: And I just had to shake my head.
5:28
[SPEAKER_00]: And I just laugh and like, yeah, I don't think that's actually going to happen.
5:32
[SPEAKER_00]: But you know, we'll see.
5:33
[SPEAKER_00]: I just hate that that has taken away lately, the narrative from the awesome season the bears had every time with this Indiana bears stadium story.
5:42
[SPEAKER_00]: We're not going to spend much time on that topic tonight, but it's that's far from over.
5:48
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they're drafting this nation right now for the Illinois Congress reportally.
5:52
[SPEAKER_00]: There might be some stuff coming out about that very soon.
5:56
[SPEAKER_00]: I still think they're going to end up in Illinois when all is said and done, but, you know,
5:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Who knows, I just like, you know, I was having so many people that were stopping me or, you know, we'd be in line on a ride and they'd be talking about, oh, that Indiana thing going to happen, not man that Caleb Williams is really good, huh, yeah.
6:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Come on, let's talk about Caleb Williams.
6:15
[SPEAKER_00]: But I will say, I did me to guide down there.
6:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe he's tuning in.
6:19
[SPEAKER_00]: I was an animal kingdom, and I told him all about the podcast.
6:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Turn tuned into bears overbears.
6:23
[SPEAKER_00]: He said he was going to show me on his phone.
6:25
[SPEAKER_00]: He subscribed and everything.
6:27
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you're watching, sir, appreciate the support.
6:30
[SPEAKER_00]: And I mean, the last thing I would say about Florida, that humidity down there, even early in the summer, there's no joke, man.
6:37
[SPEAKER_02]: And I text you and you were like, hey, there's a reason I moved.
6:41
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought that that was pretty apt response.
6:44
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, yes, I've done my my time in Florida and it does have its beautiful aspects, but it's heat and humidity was not one of them for sure.
6:56
[SPEAKER_02]: Although a beer like this would would taste delicious down there.
6:59
[SPEAKER_02]: There are some decent breweries down there in Florida now.
7:02
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't you probably didn't get a chance to go see any.
7:04
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I drank some cigar city while I was down there.
7:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's a great one down for it.
7:10
[SPEAKER_02]: Shout out to my girl Jay Dove and her new husband, if she's tuning in, Daniel from, from Tampa area, which is where that is from.
7:23
[SPEAKER_02]: And, um,
7:24
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's a beautiful place, fun place to be.
7:27
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if I could handle really what was hardest for me in Florida, is sitting in that heat and lines.
7:34
[SPEAKER_02]: Overcrowded, like that theme part scene, it might be magic for kids, but it is like, the last thing that I want to do on this earth is sitting in that humidity with people everywhere.
7:47
[SPEAKER_02]: And for me, I think it's a good idea.
7:48
[SPEAKER_02]: and you know having some bears gear on and bears conversations but definitely make it go by yeah a little bit easier so I'm happy for you for that.
7:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah I'll say the fast past stuff is definitely worth it.
7:59
[SPEAKER_00]: My mom was very generous and set us up with a bunch of fast passes we'd have to wait as long which was nice because yeah it was it was unbearably hot, no pun intended.
8:08
[SPEAKER_00]: But it was nice to rep some good bears gear while it was there like this awesome shirt from Tally Brand and we'll be talking to Rob about it here.
8:15
[SPEAKER_00]: in a little bit.
8:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Guys, before we go any further, if you're watching us live right now or on demand or you're listening, make sure you subscribe, whether you're on YouTube, your favorite podcasting platform, give us a thumbs up if you're watching this video right now that would be very greatly appreciated or if you're on the podcasting platforms,
8:33
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, go ahead and subscribe, leave us a written review, five stars, Apple, Spotify, all that stuff helps so much as we gear up for the 20, 20, six Chicago Bears season, which we think is going to be a really fun one, just like last year was, and of course, we will be enjoying several adult beverages along the way on Wednesday nights.
8:56
[SPEAKER_00]: looking forward to that.
8:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Brian, these are some things that you wanted to talk about on the show.
9:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, we've had OTAs.
9:04
[SPEAKER_00]: We've got the schedule now for training camp.
9:06
[SPEAKER_00]: You and I are hoping to make a trip.
9:08
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't know.
9:09
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see what happens.
9:10
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to try to score some tickets.
9:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, we got the NFL top 100 starting to come out now.
9:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, what do we start?
9:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's start with NFL top 100.
9:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Because I feel like that's a good topic that gets people talking.
9:23
[SPEAKER_00]: And I know you wanted to talk about which bears.
9:25
[SPEAKER_00]: We think are going to land on the NFL top 100.
9:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, now obviously Caleb Williams is going to stand out because Mike a person said.
9:33
[SPEAKER_00]: He says number one, which was surprising to hear.
9:37
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, Brian, you're thoughts on the top 100 and where you see potential bears popping up.
9:43
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I always pay a little bit more attention to the top 100 because it's voted by the players.
9:49
[SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, there have been oftentimes where we've been fans of obviously the bears and just in fields and all these other players that have been dominant, Khalil Mack comes to mind.
10:03
[SPEAKER_02]: He was one of our highest rated players.
10:04
[SPEAKER_02]: I think probably it ever because it's not been around for so long.
10:09
[SPEAKER_02]: But it does catch my attention because it's voted by the players.
10:15
[SPEAKER_02]: It shows the collective respect that the league has for your team.
10:20
[SPEAKER_02]: And that I love it because obviously we have bears color glasses.
10:25
[SPEAKER_02]: We can't help it.
10:27
[SPEAKER_02]: They might be more dimmer less dim than others, right?
10:30
[SPEAKER_02]: I think mine are pretty clear, but I'm a bears fan through and through.
10:35
[SPEAKER_02]: We all are.
10:36
[SPEAKER_02]: So how does it differ from
10:39
[SPEAKER_02]: our perspective and that's going to be the interesting thing because for the first time in a while my man our team is actually good it's good in a lot of places and but we had that we did have some guys that may be underperform like a Jalen Johnson who's been one of our better players due to injury granted but so yeah it'll be interesting so I'm I'm not expecting anything crazy
11:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we didn't have anyone on it last year.
11:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe not the year before either.
11:14
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm trying to remember, it's but has Jalen made it before?
11:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Jalen and Johnson, I'm not even sure that he was with it.
11:23
[SPEAKER_00]: It Khalil Mag, I looked it up.
11:25
[SPEAKER_00]: So when he was playing for the bears in 2020, he was ranked number 19 on it.
11:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Just before he came to the bear.
11:32
[SPEAKER_00]: So in 2017, he was number five on the list.
11:36
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm curious how high you think, Caleb's gonna be in it.
11:39
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think there's any question, Caleb's gonna be in the top 100.
11:42
[SPEAKER_00]: But you know, how high will he rank?
11:45
[SPEAKER_00]: And he thoughts on that?
11:47
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, my initial instinct is top 40 because he's new.
11:51
[SPEAKER_02]: I really think he had some special plays first half of the season, but it really was the second half of the season that cemented himself as, in my opinion, a legit top quarterback in the league.
12:05
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
12:06
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's when he started picking things up with Ben Moore.
12:08
[SPEAKER_02]: So it makes sense.
12:09
[SPEAKER_02]: And I never doubted him.
12:10
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just saying from what I remember seeing and talking about we've gone and we doubt.
12:15
[SPEAKER_02]: It was a second half of the season.
12:16
[SPEAKER_02]: So I feel like it's going to either going to need the league is in the need to see more consistently, consistency beginning to end of the year from Caleb.
12:26
[SPEAKER_02]: But that's not to say he's not obviously captured some attention and recognition and respect so far.
12:33
[SPEAKER_02]: If Micah Parsons, who is the Packer's Calil Mac of today's age, I'm curious what his recent rankings were.
12:39
[SPEAKER_02]: I have a fly floating around.
12:41
[SPEAKER_02]: Kids do.
12:41
[SPEAKER_02]: They leave the door open all the time.
12:44
[SPEAKER_02]: And in the summer they're going in and out, right?
12:46
[SPEAKER_02]: So you want to be outside.
12:49
[SPEAKER_02]: But, Gali, if I haven't told my
12:52
[SPEAKER_02]: to close the door, they all know to close the door and none of them do.
12:56
[SPEAKER_02]: So we got flies everywhere.
12:58
[SPEAKER_02]: Thankfully our cats, I've never, I'm not updated you or the audience, our cats are now indoor and outdoor cats.
13:05
[SPEAKER_02]: Ladies and gentlemen, so we got the flea collars.
13:09
[SPEAKER_02]: I've had to break up a couple of fights because there is like a headhonshow cat in our neighborhood.
13:16
[SPEAKER_02]: There's a little cat community out there for just pay attention.
13:21
[SPEAKER_02]: And yes, if we got, I got bugs in the house, I got cats making me sneeze.
13:25
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm a mildly allergic, I don't know if I shared that last time.
13:27
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
13:28
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
13:29
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not a cat fan.
13:30
[SPEAKER_02]: But my cats are cool.
13:31
[SPEAKER_02]: I will say that.
13:32
[SPEAKER_02]: I like my cats.
13:33
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to find out how loud this fly is, and if it turns up on your mic or not.
13:38
[SPEAKER_02]: I think I got a little nap, or sad.
13:41
[SPEAKER_00]: I looked up Jalen, yeah, so I forgot about this.
13:43
[SPEAKER_00]: There was kind of that controversy when he didn't make the top 100.
13:47
[SPEAKER_00]: I believe it was after 2024, because he was on the pro ball, he was like second team all pro, and he still didn't get in the NFL top 100.
13:55
[SPEAKER_00]: So he had commented about it, how he felt, he was disrespected by his peers and all of that.
13:59
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's right, yeah, I don't think he's ever made it.
14:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think Caleb, top 40's probably about right.
14:05
[SPEAKER_00]: I wouldn't be surprised if he was like in that 20 to 30 range,
14:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, you know, there's some other people on it on the team that I think are going to get there.
14:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I think Joe Tune is going to get on the list.
14:18
[SPEAKER_02]: Agreed.
14:19
[SPEAKER_00]: He wasn't on it last year.
14:21
[SPEAKER_02]: I know.
14:21
[SPEAKER_02]: That's crazy.
14:22
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
14:23
[SPEAKER_02]: He can't not.
14:24
[SPEAKER_02]: He's protector of the year.
14:25
[SPEAKER_02]: He dominated with another team.
14:27
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, he played left tack on the playoffs and held it down well.
14:31
[SPEAKER_02]: He was part of the reason why Caleb and the whole offense, Jell, and stepped up.
14:35
[SPEAKER_02]: If he's not on it, then.
14:37
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't believe in the system anymore.
14:39
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
14:41
[SPEAKER_02]: Quentin Nelson was on it, if you saw, he was one of the first few revealed.
14:45
[SPEAKER_02]: And he's been a top guard in this league for a while.
14:48
[SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, I would expect tuning it to land in the in the high 70s that mid 80 range.
14:56
[SPEAKER_02]: But I do think he'll be on there.
14:58
[SPEAKER_02]: The question is, my man, will anyone else?
15:02
[SPEAKER_02]: So I think Colston's gonna be on it.
15:04
[SPEAKER_02]: That'll be interesting.
15:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, because I mean, he finished so strong, you know, again, it's a it's a pure voted list You know, it was looking back at last years.
15:13
[SPEAKER_00]: So Bowers had statistically a bigger year last year.
15:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Like he had like 1200 yards or just shy 1200 yards is rookie year
15:21
[SPEAKER_00]: And now he fell off a little bit last year, but to get on it after his rookie year, he was number 24 on the 2025 list.
15:31
[SPEAKER_00]: And you know, Colson just despite not having the yardage, I think he had more touchdowns than Bowers had his rookie year.
15:38
[SPEAKER_00]: And also obviously showed up in the playoffs.
15:40
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's going to count for something.
15:42
[SPEAKER_00]: So I do think Colson's going to be on it.
15:44
[SPEAKER_00]: It'll be interesting to see how high.
15:46
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think he'll be as high as Bowers was after his rookie year.
15:49
[SPEAKER_00]: My who knows, maybe we'll be, maybe we'll be surprised.
15:51
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think I think Carlson, Tony, Caleb, you think anyone else is on the cusp of making it?
16:03
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, I think Darnell Wright is on the cusp.
16:05
[SPEAKER_02]: I think he makes it actually.
16:07
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
16:09
[SPEAKER_02]: I think Darnell Wright makes it.
16:12
[SPEAKER_02]: And
16:13
[SPEAKER_02]: I think I got a sleeper for you that you're going to love on this show.
16:17
[SPEAKER_02]: We've talked about this guy, shown him his respects since before all Barris fans agreed.
16:24
[SPEAKER_02]: Nest de André Swift.
16:25
[SPEAKER_02]: I think there's a chance he makes the top 100.
16:28
[SPEAKER_02]: It would be soon, but I would not be surprised if de André Swift cracked it.
16:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
16:35
[SPEAKER_00]: No, that's a great call.
16:36
[SPEAKER_00]: I could see that and he's just such an explosive player and shows up at opportune times.
16:41
[SPEAKER_00]: They could see him making it.
16:42
[SPEAKER_00]: And I see him as a guy that maybe his peers have a lot of respect for too.
16:45
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
16:46
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think our wide receiver room's going to get anyone this year, but I think next year, it's very much possible.
16:53
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see what happens.
16:54
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we'll get to next year, but none this year.
16:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
16:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and otherwise, you know, defense, I don't think anyone from the defense is going to get out there.
17:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, you're muted, I can't hear you.
17:10
[SPEAKER_02]: Sorry about that.
17:11
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, I, well, I do.
17:13
[SPEAKER_02]: I do when I don't.
17:14
[SPEAKER_02]: I think Kevin Byrd will, but he's now obviously the Patriot, but I think there's a chance that Kobe Bryant also does.
17:21
[SPEAKER_02]: So we lose the point for Byrd.
17:23
[SPEAKER_02]: We have to gain it back for Kobe.
17:25
[SPEAKER_00]: OK.
17:26
[SPEAKER_02]: So I think we have a safety on there, too.
17:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
17:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, we shall see stay tuned to windycitygridiron.com.
17:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, you can find our written work over there.
17:37
[SPEAKER_00]: There's been a ton, by the way, I should just plug this.
17:39
[SPEAKER_00]: There's been so many fun articles going up on a daily basis on windy city gridiron.
17:43
[SPEAKER_00]: We've been doing all through June.
17:46
[SPEAKER_00]: this 30-day challenge where we all kind of like signed up for varying topics, you just go in the archives and just read them all if you've missed them because they're all they're not super long articles but they're very much worth reading as a bear's fan, you'll get to do them comments on them.
18:00
[SPEAKER_00]: I've done a couple.
18:01
[SPEAKER_00]: I did one that I talked about how I became a bear's fan, which I've talked about on this show for our longtime listeners.
18:07
[SPEAKER_00]: I did one the other day on who I would most want to have a beer with as a bear's fan.
18:12
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you stole that one
18:15
[SPEAKER_00]: What have us had to do that one?
18:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, just it made too much sense.
18:19
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
18:20
[SPEAKER_00]: I want a gimmick man.
18:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
18:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Who would be your pick?
18:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Last I saw.
18:23
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think I saw you in the comment.
18:25
[SPEAKER_02]: Jay Cutler, Jay Cutty, you know, but that's the funny thing.
18:29
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, we have had to the quarterbacks with the most personality in our lifetime as a fan.
18:36
[SPEAKER_02]: You both those guys would be fun.
18:37
[SPEAKER_02]: There's a lot of good answers.
18:38
[SPEAKER_02]: Peanut Tillman, obviously Erlacker would be one of mine, Dev and Hester, you know, like a lot of these guys.
18:47
[SPEAKER_00]: The hard thing was I was trying to think when I was writing it who drink spears, you know, like some of the guys was like, I'm not sure if they even drink beer.
18:55
[SPEAKER_00]: And so I was trying to keep it somewhat realistic, you know, like obviously Jim McMan drinks beers.
19:00
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a famous press conference of them, you know, sipping on a Budweiser when he arrived in Chicago.
19:04
[SPEAKER_00]: And then, you know, people in the comments were initially pointing out Mongo.
19:10
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, yeah, man, Mongo is a great choice, but also I don't know if I'd make it through the night drink with Mongo.
19:16
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
19:17
[SPEAKER_02]: In my key mix, like hadn't you down, you know, like two cases of beer in one night or so.
19:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Forty two beers or something in one night and saying, yeah.
19:25
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, guys, check those out if you haven't seen them.
19:27
[SPEAKER_00]: There'll be more, you know, for the rest of them, 38 challenge has been a lot of fun.
19:31
[SPEAKER_00]: OTA theme wise.
19:34
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I've been tuning in to the OTA reports when that was happening and, you know, just what was making headlines any kind of narratives coming out of OTAs, you thought would be worthwhile to talk about.
19:46
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, one of the highlights was what then highlighted and that's Luther Bird.
19:53
[SPEAKER_02]: You and I have talked a lot about the receivers and Luther in particular, and you're very high on him.
19:58
[SPEAKER_02]: You've gone on record of saying you think he's going to be the Y receiver one next year.
20:03
[SPEAKER_02]: and to hear that he has excelled since the season ended and really, I mean, I feel like he's going to more than fill the shoes for DJ Moore.
20:16
[SPEAKER_02]: In this offense, like hand picked by Ben Johnson, I saw a stat yesterday that he, I think it was our guy and Fonte.
20:25
[SPEAKER_02]: He tweeted that burden,
20:29
[SPEAKER_02]: average the most yards of separation per catch in the league.
20:34
[SPEAKER_02]: Number one.
20:35
[SPEAKER_02]: So he got open because of all of his abilities.
20:39
[SPEAKER_02]: And that was a big one for me.
20:44
[SPEAKER_02]: Caleb's looking good.
20:47
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just excited everybody's healthy.
20:49
[SPEAKER_02]: Everybody, everybody, you know, finished.
20:52
[SPEAKER_02]: Obviously
20:57
[SPEAKER_02]: I just did an article last week, one of mine was who my favorite current player on the team.
21:04
[SPEAKER_02]: Tyler has been when he's healthy, but he's not been healthy, and the fact that he's not healthy now is so unfortunate because not only do I like him as a personality, the way he plays the game, but
21:20
[SPEAKER_02]: He brings such a dynamic element to our defense.
21:24
[SPEAKER_02]: He's a multiplier, right?
21:26
[SPEAKER_02]: And he's, I mean, the stats back it up are when record, are record is, you know, crazy in the windfavor when he's been finished be able to finish a game.
21:38
[SPEAKER_02]: I couldn't pick him because he's not been available, so Caleb was my guy and I think he'll definitely surpass 4,000 yards this year, I would be shocked if you didn't.
21:50
[SPEAKER_02]: How many yards do you expect Caleb to get this year?
21:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, man, I thought last year he would get it for sure and he just barely short, but I mean, all the drops.
22:01
[SPEAKER_00]: He should he really should have had it last year.
22:03
[SPEAKER_00]: So another year in the offense, some explosive new player stepping up even more with like, Luther Bird and taking on more of a role.
22:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Love it.
22:11
[SPEAKER_00]: So I call some leveling coming on.
22:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, man.
22:13
[SPEAKER_00]: I, I think he'll get just over 4,100.
22:18
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll set it right there at that.
22:25
[SPEAKER_02]: I think at least 42 hundred.
22:26
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm thinking like 42, 78.
22:28
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what we're going to do.
22:30
[SPEAKER_02]: I like it.
22:31
[SPEAKER_02]: I have 42s with a good bit on the ground as well.
22:35
[SPEAKER_02]: I think he's going to be used more as a weapon in that regard.
22:39
[SPEAKER_02]: But I'm stoked from this year.
22:42
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think the other and you mentioned burden and like Benson's press conference he'd buy stock and Luther burden right now, which we've been saying too.
22:49
[SPEAKER_00]: It was like to hear the head coach reinforce what we've been saying.
22:52
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, Hell yeah.
22:54
[SPEAKER_00]: He's gonna have a huge year.
22:55
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the next jersey purchase for me for sure.
23:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Dude, I want the road one.
23:02
[SPEAKER_00]: I want a white Luther burden.
23:04
[SPEAKER_00]: And they're impossible to find.
23:05
[SPEAKER_00]: I only ever see the home ones unless you want to customize it and cost more to do that.
23:10
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
23:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Get them on the shelves Chicago bears.
23:12
[SPEAKER_00]: What are we doing?
23:13
[SPEAKER_00]: We throw bird and hype train is out of the station.
23:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's go.
23:17
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, man, the here bend just raven about him was awesome.
23:20
[SPEAKER_00]: But also, I think it's been interesting to hear these stories about Caleb coming out of his shell even more as a leader.
23:27
[SPEAKER_00]: you know, because like last year, he was learning the offense.
23:31
[SPEAKER_00]: He was in the books, you know, all the time, knows the books, trying to learn the offense.
23:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Now he's more comfortable the offense, adding new wrinkles, of course.
23:38
[SPEAKER_00]: But now he's been concentrating from the sounds of it on becoming more of a leader on the team.
23:44
[SPEAKER_00]: and there was one story that was out there.
23:46
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't remember where I read it, where he had this big completion to, funny enough, Luther Burton, who, um, thought he had scored and he like hunted the ball into the trees or something that's a celebration when they're scrimmaging.
24:00
[SPEAKER_00]: And it turned out like he was out at the five yard line or something like that and Caleb like yelled at him on the practice field, drops of expletives and was like, you can't be doing that.
24:09
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's just
24:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, there were some players talking about to how everyone notices what Caleb's doing and he's he's becoming more accustomed to that that he sets the tone for the whole team and just him being aware of that and growing into that role.
24:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Is really cool because, you know, you mentioned Jay Cutler is a guy you'd like to get a beer with.
24:31
[SPEAKER_00]: And I love Jay when he played for us, but there was always a lot written on like the leadership quality wasn't there for him.
24:37
[SPEAKER_00]: He was a Lou if he didn't really hang out with people and you know all that.
24:40
[SPEAKER_00]: That's not Caleb, but all Caleb seems to be.
24:43
[SPEAKER_00]: just tax-booking what you want as a leader, right?
24:47
[SPEAKER_00]: And also, which is just so sweet us as bear's fans, goes so counter to that BS article that came out last year before this season started where they tried to just railroad him as
25:00
[SPEAKER_00]: all kinds of things.
25:01
[SPEAKER_00]: And none of that has been proven to be true.
25:03
[SPEAKER_00]: And basically everything we know seems countered at what that article said.
25:06
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's been sweet to see him disprove all of that, continue to come on as a leader, and really just take that on throughout OTAs.
25:14
[SPEAKER_00]: And obviously we're going to see that through training games as well.
25:18
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
25:19
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it's year two in Ben Johnson's under Ben Johnson's tutelage.
25:23
[SPEAKER_02]: Right?
25:23
[SPEAKER_02]: Ben is is teaching him how to do things on and off the field.
25:28
[SPEAKER_02]: to be a leader, to be the face of the franchise and the quarterback for this offense.
25:32
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's what I attribute, you know, more success too, is them being together.
25:40
[SPEAKER_02]: So, cheers to that, my man.
25:43
[SPEAKER_02]: I just saw your first time in a while.
25:46
[SPEAKER_00]: He always gives me shit because I don't drink the beer fast enough on this show.
25:49
[SPEAKER_00]: He's like, come on, Ryan, it took that thing.
25:52
[SPEAKER_02]: Those of you that watch, no.
25:54
[SPEAKER_02]: Those of you that listen, you don't know what I'm talking about.
25:57
[SPEAKER_02]: It's fine.
25:58
[SPEAKER_00]: I like the saver.
25:59
[SPEAKER_00]: I like the saver this.
26:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Fine.
26:01
[SPEAKER_02]: Now he's providing reasons as to why.
26:06
[SPEAKER_00]: We're gonna have to do some wager related to a really strong beer, shotgunting beer, something like that.
26:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Once we get into our preseason season preview show, we're like, if Caleb passes for 4,000 yards, we do this.
26:22
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, or something, well, we'll have to take a listener's suggestions.
26:25
[SPEAKER_00]: So that'll be a show you're gonna want to tune in live or tweet us or something.
26:29
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, if we can get to training can this year, which apparently it's impossible to get tickets.
26:33
[SPEAKER_02]: So we'll do our best.
26:35
[SPEAKER_02]: But if we can, and we can get Luther burden away jerseys while we're there.
26:41
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll do a show and Ryan will shot going to be here.
26:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, we want to do a live show somewhere on Lake Forest if we get the training camp.
26:50
[SPEAKER_00]: If we can get tickets, if you're listening Chicago Bears, we would just take those tickets, just contact us.
26:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Please, but yeah, they've been really hard to get.
26:58
[SPEAKER_00]: I went two years ago and when he said he grew to iron, got a lot of the free tickets for our staff and Lester just, you know, he basically gave me tickets so I could take my daughters
27:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Last year I tried to get it myself and I had no shot.
27:14
[SPEAKER_00]: I remember I was driving somewhere when they went for sale or not for sale for free, but you know, getting on to a master and I pulled off the side of the road for a while and I could not get close to nabbing any ticket.
27:26
[SPEAKER_00]: So we'll see what this year brings what is a July 8 or something they go up to Wednesday.
27:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, right in the middle of the week.
27:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe it'll help us though.
27:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe it won't be as many people try and pride kid in myself, but we'll see.
27:38
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a busy work day for me.
27:40
[SPEAKER_00]: I gotta try to get yours now, too, so we're really screwed.
27:43
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll be trying to nab like, I don't know how many of them we'll see.
27:47
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, we'll see, if we can get the tickets, we'll make plans to do some kind of show their live where some of the listeners can come out and build a lot of fun.
27:55
[SPEAKER_02]: If you have an idea of a good place to host a show, you've been recommended a few places, but if you know of one that you would recommend,
28:04
[SPEAKER_02]: Please let us know.
28:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.
28:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Anything else you want to talk about before we bring Rob on here?
28:12
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, no, man, let's get him on.
28:14
[SPEAKER_02]: Try to remember me this guy I'm excited to meet him.
28:16
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, I'm going to bring him on right now.
28:19
[SPEAKER_00]: So let me add to the stage Rob from Talley Brand Rob.
28:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Thanks for joining us tonight, man.
28:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Good to see you guys.
28:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Good to have you guys share some viewers.
28:28
[SPEAKER_01]: This sounds like a glad to be here.
28:31
[SPEAKER_01]: Thanks for having me.
28:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.
28:32
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, obviously we talked about the top of the show.
28:34
[SPEAKER_00]: We're big fans of what you've been doing for Chicago football gear.
28:38
[SPEAKER_00]: And I said to you off air before we started.
28:41
[SPEAKER_00]: One of the most comfortable shirts I own legit.
28:44
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not just saying that because you're kind enough to send me one of them.
28:47
[SPEAKER_00]: It is like buttery, so thin, worked in that humid Florida weather for me.
28:52
[SPEAKER_00]: The hats like Brian's wearing one of the hats that has the same logo on it.
28:56
[SPEAKER_00]: I've got another one.
28:57
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
29:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Here.
29:02
[SPEAKER_00]: pretty cool designs.
29:03
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I think that's why it's really been catch on, you know, Brian's got the GSA.
29:09
[SPEAKER_01]: I got that design on the shirt.
29:12
[SPEAKER_00]: There you go.
29:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.
29:14
[SPEAKER_00]: So,
29:15
[SPEAKER_00]: There's so much we want to ask you just because it's been really fun to follow, you know, the gear and it's starting to catch on among fans and so many people really digging it and the cool designs you've been putting out.
29:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's just start the beginning though, Rob.
29:28
[SPEAKER_00]: So what's your history as a bears fan?
29:31
[SPEAKER_00]: How did you get into the Chicago bears and just take it from there?
29:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Great question.
29:37
[SPEAKER_01]: I love the shirt also.
29:38
[SPEAKER_01]: That's why I'm wearing it.
29:39
[SPEAKER_01]: So I can kind of start there.
29:44
[SPEAKER_01]: Everything that got the the brand started, but let's start at the beginning of being a bears fan.
29:49
[SPEAKER_01]: I grew up in Illinois, I lived about a little over an hour west of Chicago in a really small town like 950 people.
29:57
[SPEAKER_01]: So my friends, my brothers, everybody was bears fans around there as is usually the case.
30:03
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, when you're that close to a big city, we went to some home games and we'd make a pretty much a very early day of it.
30:14
[SPEAKER_01]: Six o'clock something like that starter way in driving in towards the city, stop somewhere and have breakfast, you know, get a good prime before tailgating with start and then we would do that with your the football around.
30:26
[SPEAKER_01]: Make our way to the tunnel engage with everybody else doing the.
30:30
[SPEAKER_01]: The Green Bay sucks, champ.
30:32
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, here are the kids playing the drums on the five young buckets.
30:36
[SPEAKER_01]: And we're the guys who would take our shirts off when it's zero degrees out after having a few beers at the game.
30:41
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's just kind of the nature of what a lot of diet hards really do.
30:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, you mentioned getting yourself primed for the game and I got to apologize because I should have asked you first what's in the glass tonight.
30:53
[SPEAKER_00]: So let me rewind.
30:54
[SPEAKER_01]: What do you have for bears over beer tonight to sit all right looking right here and a custom glass that is a one and only version of what I've come up with with the the dark burden choke and some FGV monograms going in there to have got something that is very uninspired cold as the Rockies though.
31:17
[SPEAKER_01]: But I was a pretty pretty jealous of some of the cool craft beer that you guys have.
31:24
[SPEAKER_01]: So this is something that got something.
31:27
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, of course is a good beer, silver bullet.
31:31
[SPEAKER_02]: I actually lived in Golden where Cours is brewed and bent at that brewery before Golden Colorado is beautiful It they use that fresh mountain water.
31:42
[SPEAKER_02]: That's why it's brings It's awesome They do a lot of other things to like blue moon is a Cours beer And some other good beers, but I also love the small little if you ever get to go anybody that gets to go to Golden
32:01
[SPEAKER_02]: Golden City brewery is a, it's probably huge now because I was there more than 10 year, 15 years ago, gosh, 17 years ago, goodness gracious time flies German and we've all been bare spans for a long time.
32:15
[SPEAKER_02]: So cheers to that Rob.
32:16
[SPEAKER_02]: Thanks for coming on our show.
32:18
[SPEAKER_02]: Cheers.
32:20
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's what you mean.
32:22
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not course light, but I do pretty much always keep coolers banquet in my fridge.
32:26
[SPEAKER_00]: I love coolers banquet, especially after like a hot day moment in the yard, that kind of thing.
32:30
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, my dad, I grew up in Iowa, Eastern Iowa.
32:33
[SPEAKER_00]: And my dad tells me that when he was in his 20s, people used to road trip to Colorado from Eastern Iowa to get course.
32:41
[SPEAKER_00]: like that was the thing to do.
32:42
[SPEAKER_00]: So, I mean, we don't really think of it as a craft beer now, but back in the 60s and the 70s.
32:48
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that was like, you road trip 10 hours to buy cores, which is wild to me, but apparently that was the deal.
32:53
[SPEAKER_01]: You guys know the movie came in ball run.
32:57
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the entire premise of the whole movie.
32:59
[SPEAKER_01]: They're going out there to get a truckload of cores.
33:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
33:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
33:05
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
33:06
[SPEAKER_02]: I did not know that.
33:07
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to watch that movie, hopefully my wife will enjoy it too.
33:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so I know no disrespect for course.
33:13
[SPEAKER_00]: I like it and frankly if I do have to Shotgun a beer on the show when Caleb hits 4,000 yards passing is probably going to be a course like it's not going to be a 10% Beer hug because that'd be real more difficult.
33:24
[SPEAKER_01]: So maybe you know what I think I might be mixing up with smoking in the band
33:30
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll Google them both right away, but next time you're at a gas station or wherever you pick up beer in Arizona, see if they have some beer hugs.
33:40
[SPEAKER_02]: I cannot more highly recommend.
33:43
[SPEAKER_02]: If you, if you only drink cores, I would say definitely only drink one of these.
33:47
[SPEAKER_01]: Is there there back in when I was back in Illinois over the summer a couple of years ago.
33:54
[SPEAKER_01]: It wasn't a pineapple version, but I know what you're talking about.
33:57
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, thanks a bunch.
33:58
[SPEAKER_02]: That's so cool.
33:59
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and they're, and they're everywhere.
34:00
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's just like course, but, um, all right, you got a question, Ryan, because I've got a few.
34:07
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm excited to talk with this guy.
34:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I get one more just kind of off of what he said before, about going to the games and everything.
34:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you have a couple of games that stand out that you attended live?
34:17
[SPEAKER_00]: That would be in your all-time favorite live experiences?
34:20
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, boy.
34:21
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, this was,
34:24
[SPEAKER_01]: This was not in the powerful bears history days.
34:29
[SPEAKER_01]: These are games that the bears almost never had a chance.
34:34
[SPEAKER_01]: And sometimes you'd get excited about a play.
34:36
[SPEAKER_01]: But if you could stream, you know, a half dozen plays that you're really excited about in a single game.
34:43
[SPEAKER_01]: That was probably the best you could out for.
34:45
[SPEAKER_01]: This was Kesha.
34:49
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't even remember that they're
34:52
[SPEAKER_01]: There was not anything notable at any of the games that I went to.
34:56
[SPEAKER_01]: This is in, you know, the mid 90s that I was really nothing going on.
35:00
[SPEAKER_01]: So nothing being put on the spot, I thought I would come up with something, but nothing really, you know, coming out of the old brain.
35:07
[SPEAKER_00]: At the flash of air cream, we're having a big year, and otherwise, a lot of, you know, we're Sean Salon briefly.
35:22
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you have to.
35:25
[SPEAKER_02]: I wouldn't say it's a right of passage, but it just comes with the territory.
35:29
[SPEAKER_02]: And not all green-based stories are necessarily bad, but like Ryan, if you heard him earlier, say he was visiting down in South Florida with family, at Disney, and there was a gentleman working who was a Packers fan.
35:47
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like I meet the cheese everywhere, everywhere,
35:52
[SPEAKER_02]: They're the only team that might travel as well as Chicago.
35:59
[SPEAKER_02]: And because you meet Baris fans everywhere too, and I love it.
36:03
[SPEAKER_02]: Now love, I love your gear, Rob.
36:06
[SPEAKER_02]: It just has something about it makes it pop.
36:09
[SPEAKER_02]: It sticks out.
36:11
[SPEAKER_02]: It, it, it, it, you, it's unforgettable, right?
36:14
[SPEAKER_02]: Like it captures your attention.
36:17
[SPEAKER_02]: So I love your stuff, all your stuff.
36:19
[SPEAKER_02]: But I want to know your green-based story.
36:21
[SPEAKER_02]: Because the, the large premise about Tally Brand is FGB.
36:26
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
36:28
[SPEAKER_02]: And I get it.
36:29
[SPEAKER_02]: I get it from the bottom of my heart in ways that I'm embarrassed to say almost, we get it.
36:37
[SPEAKER_02]: But what is your green-based story?
36:39
[SPEAKER_02]: Because if it's Luther Burton, that's a good one, but I know you've been a bear's fan for a lot longer than that.
36:44
[SPEAKER_02]: So tell us your green-based story.
36:46
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm trying to think of a good story.
36:49
[SPEAKER_01]: I got my brother, is married to a girl from Wisconsin,
36:57
[SPEAKER_01]: is a green bay fan, she is as well, and they've got three kids that are, you know, eight, ten, twelve age.
37:08
[SPEAKER_01]: age wise, and I think they're trying to poison them with green bay influences.
37:15
[SPEAKER_01]: So, being that Ogarav has access to all of this cool stuff, they are showered with merch, and I've got tons of photos with all of them where it adds, and they get the choice.
37:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you want the trucker style or do you want the flat bills?
37:36
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's really getting into the ages where they understand, you know, fashion a little bit, the kind of things that look good, that are socially acceptable, and it also just happens to be that we're skewing the scale a little bit on the bear's side, so any time you can, you know, steal
37:57
[SPEAKER_01]: kind of tip the scales the other way.
37:59
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, that's a bonus.
38:01
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, absolutely.
38:03
[SPEAKER_02]: I know not of that that temptation, that sensation, that is crazy is familial with the tally brand.
38:12
[SPEAKER_00]: That's incredible.
38:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
38:14
[SPEAKER_01]: The FGB is something that is not just sort of like a twist in the side of that culture,
38:22
[SPEAKER_01]: I kind of think that there's a similar area and maybe a through line between the kind of the brand personality that Taliban has and coach Ben Johnson, you know, we try to take the high road all the time.
38:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Everybody's revered, everybody's respectable, you talk to people.
38:43
[SPEAKER_01]: with one exception.
38:44
[SPEAKER_01]: When it comes time to talk about that team, they don't even get the respect of mentioning who they are.
38:51
[SPEAKER_01]: It's called that team, you know, that kind of stuff.
38:54
[SPEAKER_01]: And when you see FGB, that is a language, maybe an unspoken language between two fan bases.
39:02
[SPEAKER_01]: If you don't have any idea about the bears and the packers or that phrase or that acronym,
39:08
[SPEAKER_01]: It flies right by, it doesn't even register.
39:12
[SPEAKER_01]: But if you're a bear's fan, and you see somebody that has something with FGB, you get that little knowing nod, you get that little, you know, still move, I got you.
39:21
[SPEAKER_01]: And if it's the other side, it's like,
39:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, yeah, whatever, you know, all of that, so I think I love that through line and that sort of correlation between the culture that is, you know, it's not trolling, it's not, you know, being aggressive or or irreverent in any way, it's it's just being like coach Johnson does so I love that we're kind of mirroring his personality.
39:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, I have that shirt from you too.
39:52
[SPEAKER_00]: The I don't like that team, which is it and also a great one.
39:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I love what you're saying about, you know, trying to convert people or to be coming bare since I have that in my family with I got three nephews.
40:04
[SPEAKER_00]: They all live in Madison, Wisconsin.
40:07
[SPEAKER_00]: and I'm trying to convert them into being bear's fans.
40:10
[SPEAKER_00]: And you know, look, I'm not a bro of, above trolling.
40:12
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd love to see my nephew's trolling, if I ever stands in Madison.
40:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Although they tell me there's not, I mean, I'm sure there's a lot of packer's fans, but they said, you know, that city has so many transplants that it's not like overbearing with packer's fans, being a college town and stuff.
40:26
[SPEAKER_00]: But I'm like, nah.
40:27
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to convert your kids to being a bear's fan, not Packers fans, because they already liked to troll their parents went to the University of Iowa and they were their Hawkeye's stuff and troll the Badger's fans at school.
40:38
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, I'm sending the Caleb Williams Jersey to one of your sons for the school year.
40:42
[SPEAKER_00]: This is going to happen.
40:43
[SPEAKER_00]: For sure.
40:44
[SPEAKER_00]: So I like what you're saying there for sure.
40:47
[SPEAKER_02]: Rod, did you know that Ben Johnson is from Western North Carolina?
40:53
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, I did not.
40:55
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he said, I mean, I do recall a mention, but I wouldn't have been able to say that out time ahead.
41:01
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he led his high school to a state championship.
41:05
[SPEAKER_02]: Mid 2000s, I believe, maybe late 2000s.
41:09
[SPEAKER_02]: And then went to North Carolina, was a backup.
41:14
[SPEAKER_02]: I think he was a walk on.
41:17
[SPEAKER_02]: And yeah, he's from, he's from Mount actually coached at the middle school that feeds into that high school.
41:24
[SPEAKER_02]: Not too soon after he was there.
41:28
[SPEAKER_02]: But I love it.
41:30
[SPEAKER_02]: He's he's he's been my favorite coach in my lifetime.
41:45
[SPEAKER_02]: As he evolved over the years from child to adolescent and the players and, you know, as you mentioned, it's been, it's been dismal as far as good games, like go visit go go to some games, have they been good games, memorable games in a good way.
42:03
[SPEAKER_02]: You might have a play here there, player that was, you know, good, but for the first time in a while, we've got, we've got what seems like all of it.
42:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
42:13
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's unusual.
42:15
[SPEAKER_01]: It's really cool that it feels like it's a different level of coaching, you know, both expertise on the actual, you know, academic side of the plays, play calling, scheme, all of those things.
42:32
[SPEAKER_01]: But there's something else there.
42:33
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a richness and authority in respect and just chemistry that not everybody can can obtain.
42:43
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, there's some innate things that I think we're happy to see.
42:47
[SPEAKER_01]: We've had some pretty good coaches in the past.
42:49
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, love you was great.
42:50
[SPEAKER_01]: He had a little bit of that respect, but you know, it was just a few notches below this.
42:56
[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, Dicca,
43:00
[SPEAKER_01]: just a little bit of a different mix of traits, but along with that, you know, you got some pretty crazy characters like Jim McMahon who is, you know, moaning the news helicopter and was drinking beer at the microphone and things like that.
43:17
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, you get a little bit of a little bit of recklessness among the players when you have a coach that's sort of that you can
43:31
[SPEAKER_01]: having Coach Johnson there too, and there are a lot of guys that just seem like they are, you know, ready to go to war.
43:39
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, absolutely.
43:41
[SPEAKER_02]: And question for you would be, what current bear or coach I'll let you throw coach because it'd be fun to have a bear with Ben Johnson.
43:50
[SPEAKER_02]: That would probably be my answer.
43:52
[SPEAKER_02]: Or all time player would you choose to have a bear with?
44:02
[SPEAKER_01]: Gosh, that's a big, a big group to choose from.
44:07
[SPEAKER_01]: There's some cool players that we don't really have a lot of knowledge about.
44:11
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Vanderberg might be a pretty cool one to sit down with, you know, being from South Africa or maybe Tory Taylor.
44:20
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, some of those guys can probably knock some back.
44:23
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think it'll be cool to just hear a little bit about their upbringing and culture.
44:27
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, how they came to be there's, you know, when it was so unlikely.
44:33
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
44:34
[SPEAKER_00]: What was that Australian beer that you spend the ads in the 90s?
44:37
[SPEAKER_00]: All the last years.
44:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Oscars.
44:39
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to talk to you.
44:39
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to talk to you.
44:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Oscars, band.
44:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's awesome.
44:44
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to call this out before I go any further.
44:46
[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't forget, but Chris is in the chat.
44:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Chris is actually the guy I talked about earlier in the show that I ran into at Animal Kingdom and he's tuning in right now.
44:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Look at that.
44:54
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what I call Bear's family right there.
44:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Chris says this is the guy from Animal Kingdom and I'm enjoying the content.
45:01
[SPEAKER_00]: My daughter kept getting annoyed because I acknowledge every single bearish family came across Crows with his daughter.
45:07
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you remember
45:09
[SPEAKER_00]: I think just a little bit younger than my oldest.
45:12
[SPEAKER_00]: I think probably close to my middle.
45:15
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to say just going off memory.
45:16
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe we can feel his pain or his... Yeah.
45:21
[SPEAKER_02]: We know what Chris is going through.
45:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we're girl dads here.
45:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Brian is four and I have three.
45:27
[SPEAKER_00]: All girls.
45:27
[SPEAKER_00]: So, girl dad energy.
45:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Sure.
45:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, yeah, anyways, yep, what are their questions?
45:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Did you have Brian?
45:34
[SPEAKER_00]: I know you said you had a lot of them.
45:38
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I mean, you said, you know, one of your, well, you didn't say, but your story says, one of your, you know, inspirations for tallied brand is wanting to wear bears gear, but not really having anything that you, you know, want to wear that you love, that you really, really love.
45:57
[SPEAKER_02]: So tell me about
46:00
[SPEAKER_02]: hats, jerseys, eras, styles that you have grown to appreciate over the years.
46:07
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, for instance, like this, this is an era of hat, you know, was it mid 90s?
46:12
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, the way of, I'm glad I lost some of my stuff through moves and divorces and whatnot.
46:18
[SPEAKER_02]: Glad I didn't miss their lose this one.
46:20
[SPEAKER_02]: What are your thoughts on styles that you've had over the years and specific eras or, you know, things like that?
46:30
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's an interesting aspect of fan gear is the hat.
46:36
[SPEAKER_01]: We've all had hats that just sit in your closet.
46:39
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe you bought it because it was a cool design, but you never really tried it on or you never really squished it at the store and you don't made it feel comfortable.
46:48
[SPEAKER_01]: And some hats maybe you were gifted.
46:50
[SPEAKER_01]: They weren't really in your choice, but I had been a great design.
46:54
[SPEAKER_01]: But for whatever reason, you might have 10 of them, there's only one that you wear.
46:59
[SPEAKER_01]: were one or two that are in rotation.
47:01
[SPEAKER_01]: They just have the right feel, they have the right design, they look good, they feel good, the height is right, the bill is right, the fit, all of those things.
47:10
[SPEAKER_01]: And every person is different that has a hat.
47:13
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, I used to be the kind of guy to like the unstructured, just the kind of, you know, would follow the contour of your head, curve it, you know, some people would have the fish hook on the bill, stuff like that.
47:25
[SPEAKER_01]: That's, that's mid west stuff.
47:28
[SPEAKER_01]: Later, um, I ended up getting out.
47:31
[SPEAKER_01]: Here in Phoenix is where I'm located and there were, you know, some co-workers that in the design world that's a little bit more like California influence.
47:40
[SPEAKER_01]: So I ended up going for this kind of style.
47:44
[SPEAKER_01]: I had hats that I really loved.
47:47
[SPEAKER_01]: In fact, it was like a Reebok style.
47:49
[SPEAKER_01]: Reebok was the brand for the bears for a while.
47:52
[SPEAKER_01]: And it was a fitted hat had like the, I think it even had 34 embroidered on one side.
47:58
[SPEAKER_01]: GSH on the other.
48:00
[SPEAKER_01]: And.
48:01
[SPEAKER_01]: I wore it out, it got faded, and then I was able to find one on eBay, the exact same thing, and I bought that one.
48:07
[SPEAKER_01]: Because you like what you like, right?
48:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, eventually I couldn't, I couldn't find anything else that I liked.
48:15
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't have the right styles available, and I had too many hats that I just didn't wear.
48:20
[SPEAKER_01]: They just sat, stacked up in my closet.
48:23
[SPEAKER_01]: So being in the design world, I had access to some wholesale manufacturers, and I was able to make my own hat.
48:31
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, screw it, I'm just going to take advantage of some of the relationships I have and make my own.
48:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, it turned out the design was great and the fit was better than I expected.
48:41
[SPEAKER_01]: And before you know it, I had this one hat and I started getting conversations with from people that are like, Hey, that's cool.
48:46
[SPEAKER_01]: Where do you get that?
48:48
[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, after a while, like, just stop taking it as a kind of plan and sort of started taking it as a signal to do something.
48:56
[SPEAKER_01]: This is, there's a little bit of a momentum here.
48:58
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe I should lean
49:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, makes sense and you know, like you were telling us you got some that are exclusive that haven't even but been put out to the general public yet I mean the people are watching the video stream you're seeing in the background he's got good better and best on three different hats being just incredible.
49:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, the Darth Burden, everyone's talking about like he did the phone case, he got the stickers.
49:23
[SPEAKER_00]: That is just already iconic.
49:25
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, it was a great moment.
49:26
[SPEAKER_00]: It happened, but like when you sent me the sticker pack, I was so pumped to get the Darth Burden sticker.
49:33
[SPEAKER_00]: That's got to be one of my favorite things.
49:35
[SPEAKER_00]: There it is.
49:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Right there.
49:36
[SPEAKER_00]: See you down the stream.
49:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.
49:39
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm kind of a you got the green-based sucks hat.
49:41
[SPEAKER_00]: I think down there behind you as well You're pretty observant.
49:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, that's I mean right to the point, but it works Good color beautiful colors Some people want to want to say what they want to say they don't really want it to be as subtle as FGD So we we give them the option
50:02
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm someone that is like really picky about my clothes, believe it or not, my wife gives me crap all the time when our kids are like struggling to put together an outfit, she'll be like, oh, this is where they get it, of course.
50:13
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like super picky on how my t-shirts fit in particular.
50:18
[SPEAKER_00]: And again, I'm not just saying this because you're on the show, but the shirt, like the cut of the shirt, is so good and perfect and comfy.
50:26
[SPEAKER_00]: One of the things I don't like is,
50:28
[SPEAKER_00]: I bought some of the Nike t-shirts that they have out now, and other than the dry fit ones, the dry fit ones are nice.
50:34
[SPEAKER_00]: The other ones, they have like a really weird cut to them, and I don't like them, and I never wear them.
50:38
[SPEAKER_00]: I bought a couple of them, they just don't fit right.
50:40
[SPEAKER_00]: This shirt fits right, and it's comfy, like the material is super soft.
50:44
[SPEAKER_00]: So I have to give you props for that, because I mean, everything you're saying about getting gear that works that you want to wear, I think you've pretty much nailed it there, for sure.
50:55
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that's the key, I didn't make this, you know, with any kind of business plan of here's what I'm going to offer, here's the demographic, here's what I need to, you know, put together as far as an assortment or collection.
51:08
[SPEAKER_01]: I'd make what I want to wear and the designs did I come up with or sayings, they're topical, there are a lot of brands and companies out there doing the exact same thing, come up with something that was just said this morning out of game
51:25
[SPEAKER_01]: I came up with one for when the bears came to Arizona to play.
51:30
[SPEAKER_01]: I put a crown their ass, like they are who we thought they were.
51:33
[SPEAKER_01]: I put it on the front and the back.
51:36
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll turn out the bears got their ass.
51:45
[SPEAKER_01]: disdain from the crowd, but that's all the stuff that I want to wear.
51:50
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's not, there's not a real big grand plan, hat shirts and then things like glasses or stickers, you know, the culture or the neighbor, the community and Twitter, there's Twitter, it's a huge group.
52:06
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's really where I got the momentum.
52:10
[SPEAKER_01]: and got around people that were interested, because they kind of took it for me.
52:15
[SPEAKER_01]: They took it and ran with it and started sharing and other followers started following me.
52:20
[SPEAKER_01]: And
52:22
[SPEAKER_01]: That was the challenge up until then.
52:24
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't want to put in hundreds or thousands of dollars in Google Ad money or things that get in front of other bears fans.
52:33
[SPEAKER_01]: But that's the way marketing and the economy is these days you have to do that.
52:38
[SPEAKER_01]: You can't put stuff out on Reddit.
52:41
[SPEAKER_01]: You'll get booted.
52:47
[SPEAKER_01]: and I posted the website got like 30 or 40 hat orders immediately and was instantly booted.
52:55
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm like, okay, that gave me the motivation to do something.
52:58
[SPEAKER_01]: But on Twitter, it was like everybody was becoming little mini ambassadors for the brand and sharing.
53:05
[SPEAKER_01]: And so I thought, well, I need to pay them back somehow.
53:09
[SPEAKER_01]: So I had the idea of, I'll send them some stickers.
53:17
[SPEAKER_01]: Just buy some e-o-o-o-o-o.
53:22
[SPEAKER_01]: and put in some stickers on them.
53:23
[SPEAKER_01]: I bought some stamps.
53:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's a stamp for the Telegram logo.
53:27
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not a printed envelope.
53:29
[SPEAKER_01]: So everything is just grassroots.
53:32
[SPEAKER_01]: And it turns out that is so welcome in a world where everything is so, you know, perfect.
53:39
[SPEAKER_01]: Everything is so manufactured.
53:42
[SPEAKER_01]: Just, just boxed in and everything needs to be perfect.
53:45
[SPEAKER_01]: And AI is making that even worse.
53:51
[SPEAKER_01]: made the brand.
53:52
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, a half, they made the brand.
53:55
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's that's super cool.
53:58
[SPEAKER_02]: That's super cool.
53:59
[SPEAKER_02]: And to you have to appreciate a guy like Luther Burton who we love on this show.
54:04
[SPEAKER_02]: And that game is his first game against the Packers in Lambo Field, no less.
54:10
[SPEAKER_02]: And he, I don't think anyone will disagree with me, but some may fees the one that brought the fire that game.
54:19
[SPEAKER_02]: him from both teams, not just our team as a rookie that's impressive.
54:24
[SPEAKER_02]: From both teams, he set the tone with that play.
54:30
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's when I was like, this is a new bears.
54:33
[SPEAKER_02]: If you have rookies that are stepping up and embracing this rivalry, Caleb did last year.
54:40
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
54:41
[SPEAKER_02]: But now you've got
54:47
[SPEAKER_02]: do you think Rome or Luther are going to have more receiving yards this year?
54:55
[SPEAKER_01]: Honestly, I think it will be a tie.
54:57
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll probably come down to who's healthy the most.
55:01
[SPEAKER_01]: I think there's
55:03
[SPEAKER_01]: Right now, that's skewing a little bit towards Luther Burton.
55:07
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's got maybe a little bit more resilience.
55:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe it's because Rome is so tall and lanky.
55:14
[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, but that was part of his charm is that he can go up and get anything.
55:20
[SPEAKER_01]: So maybe they've got some pretty great trainers, maybe they're, you know, making people a little stronger, attendance wise in certain areas.
55:30
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's gonna be a battle,
55:34
[SPEAKER_01]: myself.
55:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you make such a great point about Luther and like this is a new bearers team the way, you know, he went right after Nixon and everything because it seemed the bearers had some some down years.
55:47
[SPEAKER_00]: No question about it, but bad teams beat better teams all the time in the NFL.
55:51
[SPEAKER_00]: How many years did the bearers go without beating like six years or something?
55:55
[SPEAKER_00]: It got to the point where was like, how is this even possible?
55:57
[SPEAKER_00]: And you start to think that like, maybe those rosters just like,
56:02
[SPEAKER_00]: how did their heads, they couldn't beat them or something like it, they became like head cases around the Green Bay Packers.
56:08
[SPEAKER_00]: And now we have this team where the coach has no problem going after them, obviously, and playing into the rivalry, allude their burden, a rookie is grabbed dudes by the throat when things get a little, you know, tense.
56:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and Caleb shredding cheese on national television.
56:25
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just like, we as bearers fans have been through such hell in this rivalry, you know, for so long that it just feels good, at least for an out-of-the-up or hand, a little bit.
56:36
[SPEAKER_00]: And to have players that like feeding into that, but like feel like the alphas in the situation quite honestly, we haven't had that in a really long time.
56:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's great to be under the microscope when you don't have anything to hide and you're ready to flex, you know, we were on hard knocks and we had all kinds of scrutiny and great, you know, great things were hoped for, but everything fizzled from there.
56:59
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's definitely cool to have, you know, the eyes of the nation seems like the NFL is ready to spotlight us at any, any opportunity and we don't need to be shy about it.
57:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, absolutely.
57:15
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, get your mad 27 game as soon as it comes out, uh, get to the commemorative copy as well.
57:22
[SPEAKER_02]: Collectors edition, Ice Man.
57:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, actors fans have to boot up the game and see that picture every single time the play the game, which is just pretty sweet.
57:31
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the ultimate FGB.
57:34
[SPEAKER_00]: honestly.
57:35
[SPEAKER_00]: It really is.
57:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, man, this has been a lot of fun.
57:39
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, we've been talking about the brand again.
57:42
[SPEAKER_00]: As you said, it's all about word of mouth.
57:44
[SPEAKER_00]: I think in today's world, people recognize when you're paying for ads and when people are
57:50
[SPEAKER_00]: authentic and people really like what you're putting out there and they tell their fans just honestly in their own opinions.
57:56
[SPEAKER_00]: This is good stuff.
57:57
[SPEAKER_00]: That's really the way to grow a business or a hobby or grow a podcast.
58:03
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to pay money to advertise our podcast.
58:06
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why
58:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, frankly, I found in the past doesn't really work very well on other shows have been a part of, but like I say at the beginning of the show all the time tell a friend word of mouth like that's the way you grow stuff because people want authentic creators and I think that that's really what you've been able to capture so far on social media because I mean you got lots of big names in the bear space that have.
58:29
[SPEAKER_00]: got your stuff that like your stuff that have been promoting it and it's, you know, people aren't getting paid to do that, it's just because they like it, they like the design, they like the inspiration behind it.
58:38
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, there's a lot of people that don't necessarily understand that it works that way.
58:43
[SPEAKER_01]: The podcast community is like, well, are you going to pay me to come on in your show?
58:47
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I'm a big name.
58:48
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, no, nobody pays anybody for anything.
58:51
[SPEAKER_01]: It's, it's all, you know, back and forth, a mutual beneficial sort of arrangement.
58:57
[SPEAKER_01]: So, yeah,
58:59
[SPEAKER_01]: I got to tell you, when David Kaplan was wearing my hat, I didn't follow David Kaplan.
59:05
[SPEAKER_01]: I wasn't aware of my watched and followed some other radio shows and sports like that from afar, but I wasn't in ESPN morning show guy.
59:16
[SPEAKER_01]: Somebody sent me a screenshot, hello with the Leonardo DiCaprio pointing at the TV, like, ah, I'm sorry, I got you hit.
59:24
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I reached out to David.
59:29
[SPEAKER_01]: That's his reputation, but he's one of my biggest customers.
59:33
[SPEAKER_01]: He loves the hat.
59:34
[SPEAKER_01]: He wears, you know, wears them on vacation, you know, when he's going to your resort in Mexico.
59:41
[SPEAKER_01]: So I couldn't be more proud to just do it the way that I want to do it and have other people sort of recognize and kind of jump on the bandwagon with me.
59:49
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's super gratifying.
59:51
[SPEAKER_01]: I really appreciate all that.
59:52
[SPEAKER_00]: I think cap is the first person I saw wearing your merch now that you say I think I saw it on one of his like coffee with caps or something a few months ago and that was probably the first time now that you mentioned that I saw some of the gear so that's cool cap would be a lot of fun to happen this show should reach out to him try to get him on here I love his videos and content always I mean going back to the NBC Chicago days and all that so Brian anything else before we wrap
