Breaking down the stressful moments from the Bears’ 59-37 win over the Panthers

0:00Hey, I arrived almost here. Are you ready? Just grabbing my shoes. That's what you said 10 minutes ago. I just wrapped a video call, uploading this giant file on my tablet, looking at my watch group and Nana's with the group chat, and of course, still lining up tonight's playlist on my phone. All at once? Yep, story of my life. That's why I switched to D-Mobile. They have the fastest 5G network. Okay, multitasker. I see you. Honestly, I never imagined I could do all this at once.

1:25And to true crime news available now on the Odyssey app, or wherever you get your podcasts. Friendship front for Carolina stood strong. Sarah Thomas has the pole. It's Carolina Ball. Oh, as aggressive as you could possibly be from your own 20. And the Carolina defense was ready for it. And the Browns can do a lot for you. This time it was Bobby Brown who filled the gap. That was a good neutral word that Adam Amine used there. Interesting. Interesting place. That was Adam Amine voicing his disapproval in play by play form.

2:28That was what that was. I caught that. Oh, yeah. It's interesting. And I think Drew Brees thought it was interesting too when he'd set out loud some version of, I thought he was just doing the old trying to draw him off. No, no, they're really doing it. It's going to have the ball snapped. And they're not going to get it. Oh, my God. And then Bryce Young scores a touchdown to make a 21-21. It did not feel good. Well, it did feel stressful at that point because you don't want your head coach who we all believe in to be making mistakes like that. Yadda, yadda, yadda. They scored 59 points in the game. It's for himia Grote. I1043, the score. We'll talk more about that in a few other stressful moments that are on our minds. But we've had people asking us about our guest list for Bears Mondays and Bears weeks in general. As you know, that we stack it here at the score with great insightful guests. Can we get some music for our announcement that we didn't plan on announcing?

3:28Yeah, anything. I feel like some NFL music, you know? Or limp biscuit or a system of a down or just anything. Anything would sound good. Because we literally had somebody ask us, Hey, is your quarterback guru Tim Jenkins coming back? Well, and number one, the meatball machine is open. That's true too. We've had a lot of questions. We need a 145 per usual. But in the meantime, the meatball machine is open for you. Right. Go to the Odyssey app and then right next to Listen Live, you hit that button right there next to Listen Live. And you can leave a 60 second message for us to play on the air. That's only 60 seconds. The voice message. So you gotta do some work or else you gotta call back and leave another message. That's right. So that's 145, right? Correcto. Yes, yes. So that's one of our guests on today that you will join us weekly. And that's Anthony Herron. He'll be a part of the show throughout the bear season and in more. Because you know, he's Anthony Herron. And we love Anthony Herron at 1 p.m. today. And usually 1 p.m. on Mondays. Dan Weeder of the Athletic Ladies and Gentlemen.

4:29We do. That's right. Take the North up and running right now. Dan was in Carolina. I can't wait to talk to him at one o'clock just to set the scene for us. You two kids record to take the North pod yet? We did. We just recorded it last night. It was wild. I did it from Fox 32. He did it from Carolina. Anyway, you gotta do it. We got it done last night. So that's up and running right now. Take the North. We appreciate your support. Tuesdays here on Rahimi and Grote during bear season. It's gonna be Patrick Manley at 11 a.m. I had a blast with Manley and Owen Krutz yesterday doing pre and post game here on the score. They sounded so happy. Oh, it was so good. All in this morning, too, was the happiest I've ever heard him. It just warms my heart. Gideon. Owen's gonna be doing dances and all sorts of stuff. All that stuff that he usually is disgusted by. I don't know, man. Like the buy in he has a Ben Johnson is like at a 10. Like it is for all of us. But in true Owen form, he then caught himself being too positive and said,

5:29now I might get used as the poison, you know, in the bear's locker room because I'm too abusive in my praise. Well, that's why we love Owen. He is so real and he's awesome. 1225. There he is. Tim Jenkins on Tuesdays. He's our quarterback guru. He breaks down every single thing that Caleb Williams does and we can ask him any question about any throw or any interception or any incompletion. Hopefully there's not a lot of those, but he's awesome. So we love that he is back at one o'clock on Tuesdays. We will have a bear. We will have on the show 1 p.m. on Tuesdays. Defensive tackle. Neville Gallimore. We wanted some personality, man. And we think we think on this show that Neville Gallimore will provide a big pop of personality. He seems like an interesting human being and hopefully you'll have a great season too. Super entertaining. If you've ever watched him on bear social media, I think he's really funny and just engaging. So we're looking forward to it. We love that he agreed to join us. So he will join us. I think he's really funny. I think he's really funny. I think he's really funny. And just engaging.

6:29So we're looking forward to it. We love that he agreed to join us. So he will join us. Tomorrow Tuesday at 1 p.m. On Wednesdays, our guy Mike Floreo will be on at 11. I mean, he's on with us all season long, but it's even. It goes up a level during the season. He's on with us 11 a.m. on Wednesdays. 1 p.m. It will be Clay Harbor who will join us a lot of time. He joins us in studio when he's available. We'd love to have him. Clay, his insights are awesome. And then we'll have herb Howard. I don't know exactly the times because sometimes that is a fluid system. But I think that's a fluid situation considering what goes on at Hallis Hall. So he'll join us on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Herb will join us. Our new official full time Bears Beat reporter here on the score. If you missed the dramatic passing of the torch last week from Cody's, I did do that. As Herb Howard takes it over for me. On Thursdays as well. I'm a Danny Parkinson's at 1 p.m. on Thursdays. I am going to have to watch first things first today.

7:30Why do I have the feeling Danny is going to be doing victory laps? Well, what? Because Josh Allen is going to win MVP this year? No. No, there's already videos coming out of Danny celebrating. He's going to have a costume, right? He's got to have some sort of page tree involved. There's some massive chain. So I have a feeling that that's going to come into play. I'm imagining it's a chain with a spinning Ben Johnson face on it. That's what I'm victory. Somebody make that. Somebody has to make that. Somebody make that. That was a very different thing. He's been a Johnson OK with it. Oh, man. All in was hilarious about Danny yesterday talking about his takes. We've been all over those Danny takes. The take audit is one of my favorite things that Danny came up with last week. Love it. He claims he had already come up with the phrase take audit. But I hadn't heard it until. I hadn't either. Yeah. That was new to our show. And then finally on Fridays. Thrilled that we have these two insiders back like we had last Friday. I love our Fridays.

8:3011 a.m. on Fridays. The great Adam Hogue will join us of Hogan Johns and CHGO. And then Kevin Fishbane. He is terrific and awesome. The nuggets are second to none. He will join us on Friday the 1225 Fishy business, of course, from the athletic. I like the way this list looks. And who knows who will pop up intermittently throughout the season on Rehemian Grody. You've got a beer down on a daily basis. That's right, Stony. All right, back to stress. Let's get let's get stressed again. You know, we talked about the the fourth down play. And again, my my feelings in the moment were, okay, I trust you, Ben Johnson. Like I admit, I don't know how you felt in the moment. I was not like punch in the wall. Like what are you doing? You're crazy. I was sort of like, okay, what do you got here? You're Ben Johnson. This is what you do. You learn from Dan Campbell. We live with it. We die with it. Of course, I was pissed off when it didn't work, but I have to admit, I was not one of those who was in rage with Ben Johnson for doing what he did.

9:30Hey, all right. It's almost here. Are you ready? Just grabbing my shoes. That's what you said 10 minutes ago. I just wrapped a video call, uploading this giant file on my tablet, looking at my watch group and Nana's with the group chat, and of course, still lining up tonight's playlist on my phone.

10:30Hi, I'm PJ Vote, and I want to tell you about my podcast, Surch Engine. We try to make sense of the world. One question at a time. No question too big. No question too small. We will even answer your questions if you send them in. Stuff like, what happens when a cemetery goes out of business? What should we do about teens using AI to do their homework? Who buys luggage at the airport luggage store? Follow and listen to Surch Engine in partnership with Odyssey, wherever you get your podcasts. You don't get enraged because the game ended so well for the team. Yeah, but even in the moment, even in the moment where it wasn't the game was not in tow at the time. I'm saying in the moment, in the moment, what were you feeling? Were you mad? I'm mad. I'm crazy, man. I thought it was a bad call. And they hadn't really gotten downhill at that point yet enough to where I felt confident that they would get the proper forward movement in that sneak that they wanted to. And I thought it was a bad habit too, where Caleb Williams backs into the line of scrimmage. And you're not, if you're a quarterback, doesn't believe he's getting across, there's no way you're getting across.

11:35There were multiple failures on that play, but I felt the same way. So even when you hear, you hear Drew Brees say, well, maybe they were trying to draw them off sides at their home. Yeah, that was the other part about this. It wasn't, it wasn't its older field. But it's not unprecedented. Ben Johnson is playing chess, not necessarily checkers. So what was he trying to set up? But that was the only fourth down that they went for in the game. And I think it's because they ended up having such a significant lead. Yeah. And the things were that lead was in question. You know, a stressful moment was Caleb Williams throwing an interception in the end zone that got nullified because of a penalty. That was very stressful. There were a couple. And at that point, then that's when they end up scoring 52. That was on that drive. So I can't even believe I'm saying that in these moments. But I do, I do think that when it came to the fourth and one, it was too aggressive. I can't justify making that call on the road against a team that was offensively moving the ball.

12:36Very well on you. Yeah. To put it like that, we're the going down by more. And they didn't at that point. It was a tie game. But where you could put yourself into a bigger hole against a team where you might have needed that touchdown back in another learning scenario. I don't necessarily know that that's the call you make. All right. So we've two stressful moments that won. Layla mentioned the interception in the end zone. That was momentary. Oh, no, no, no. You just wanted to seal the deal at that point. Absolutely. And at the beginning of the game was 100% stressful. I mean, the de André Swift, big run. And you're like, oh, yeah, this is what I've been talking about this whole precease. I've been telling all you guys when I go out to the training camp. De André Swift looks great. He's poised to have his best year. He pops a big one called back on a hold by Roma Dune's day. That wasn't even the most stressful part of the start. Luther Burton, whom we've been talking about. Luther Burton, whom we all bought stock in because we were urged to buy the head coach

13:38with that fumble to turn it over. And then Bryce Young turns it into seven. That was super stressful. Stevenson and Theaneman missing tackles back to back early on in the game. The false starts, you know, one of them by Brad Berry as well. I found that I was very stressed out with the chaotic beginning for the Bears. I was like, is this is this what we're going to be talking about in this game? Is this going to be one of those weird openers that comes undone? And it was quite the antithesis. It turned out. Are you on one of my favorite radio show hosts in Dallas joke that Ben Johnson was Icarus? What's that? The the the the the the mythical creature in mythology who flew too close to the song and had wax wings and then melted and met its untimely fate. Okay, I didn't know that that was Icarus. I've heard flying too close to the sun. You guys know Icarus? I knew of the reference. I didn't know all of the lore. It's such as the the wax wings I didn't know. I know the reference. Yes, but Ben Johnson was indeed not Icarus.

14:39He did not fly too close to the sun. He ended up winning the game handily and could have scored 60 dare I say. I really wanted them to go for two. I know you did. I thought I'd be a little gluttonous myself. I was there too. I'm at the 60s. When your defense gives up 37 points, if you just blinded item that and you don't know what happened to the game. You don't know what happened to the game. You don't feel good about your chances. How about baby tea? Do you guys think that baby tea, Tyler Farungal, that he wanted 70? You try one at 70. Well, you know, you talk about it. You wanted to go for it on every fourth day. Every fourth day. You wanted Tori Taylor to not exist. No puns. No puns. No puns by Tori Taylor, which worked by the way. How about that? That was part of the the weaponry that Ben Johnson mentioned. Well, Grody started it mentioned the stressful start of the game. And you know, we had wrapped up the pre game show with Olin and Pat and Grody and I was here in the control room and baby tea was in here with me and he was losing his mind over the start of that game. He was in here and sensed. He was screaming. Well, he picked 13 wins, right? Like, you're not going to win. He did. He was a start like that.

15:39Ray and I also sat behind at the Cubs game, a guy who listens so shout out. Oh, yeah. And he did ask me, go, so what do you really think? And I'm like, I'm telling you, I really think it's, I've got 11 and 6 on my schedule. That's hilarious. That's so funny. Like when people ask, okay, what's the real deal? I know what you guys say. But really, what's really going on? I know what's really going on is what's really going on. Yeah, there are times when our minds change, but then there are times where if you can't find tape of us saying something, that's probably because that's how we really felt. That's true. When we come back, we haven't talked much about, if at all, about the Roma Dune's a Randy Moss-esque moment in the game. And Fox Analyst drew breeze, broke it down, expertly hit some things to say. Laila and I have some things to say about that particular play, so we'll keep it rolling next here. On a victory Monday, the chickens coming. It's for he, me, and Grody. I1043, the score. Hey, all right. It's almost here. Are you ready? Just grabbing my shoes. That's what you said 10 minutes ago.
