Compact, capable, surprisingly roomy, always forward with Kia. My apartment garage in Los Feliz was clearly designed by someone who never had to open a car door. That's why my Kia Seltos just fits, with room for work bags, yoga mats, groceries, and whatever I accidentally buy at the Rose Bowl flea market. Small SUV, real cargo room, I've got turbocharged power and all-wheel drive for the days L.A. decides to be more mountain than city.

Jason is an avid hiker who loves the outdoors. During what should have been a peaceful hike, that calm was suddenly broken. A mountain lion appeared on the trail just yards away. Fortunately, Jason had packed his Bernaless lethal launcher. Armed with kinetic rounds, Jason fired a warning shot, deterring the mountain lion and giving his family time to get to safety.

We are sports radio 1043, the score. Rock asking live from the Hyundai studios. Present it to you in part by your local Hyundai dealers. WSCR. WSCR FM in HD1 Chicago in Odyssey Sports Station. The score! I see light mango! Dave one step. Five o'clock. Make sure out. I'll write someone write that down for Alex. Okay? Taddy, you write that down for Alex. Write that down for Alex, so you know. NFL head coach for 11 years.
The bears came in here and Dave one step. There's a happy group of overachievers that have been well coached. Collins football national champion Dave one step. One of my, you know, really idols. Super Bowl champion. I am good. It's almost a perfect weekend here, you know. Obviously the bears, the socks and cubs just didn't get it done. But we got time. We've got a witness one tonight, obviously. But I'm into it. The damn time though. I got to meet up with you. I woke up. I woke up middle of the night to go to bathroom and I did take my cell phone and take a peek at the score. Man, I talk to my daughter who lives in Pittsburgh. She's a big cubs fan, her and her family. And it's 10 o'clock. What's the phrase for big fish? First pitch. First pitch. First pitch. Okay. I just learned something. 10 o'clock from the first pitch. And on these coasts, as we know, that's, that's late guys, you know. What's the vibe in Chicago right now coach? You live there. The vibe in Chicago is go white socks. I hope there's something tall and strong.
They get a hurrah cane before I go insane. It's only half past 12. But I don't care. You don't care. I don't care. He's five o'clock somewhere. Sing hello everybody. Hot damn. Coach Dave wants that. Yes sir. I'm just looking good in his pink. I was working for you. I'm good. I was good to see Ryan here. Yeah, that's your own dog, right? I've seen him since he was a NBC board artist. You know what? Actually, you don't two years ago today. Is that what it was? How about that? Two years ago today when they shut the doors. Yeah, well, last day. That's good to see coaching. I mean, you're everywhere. So I see you. We'll tell people about your time working together. What kind of shows were you guys working? He was doing socks. He was doing baseball. We got together for a few. We drew a few plays up. Yeah, I stayed in my lane. Lawrence was down there with us. Yep. Yeah, you're everywhere.
You're everywhere. I got together. We did a couple of calf shows together. We'd drawn them up on the big board. Where is Lawrence? Lawrence is not feeling well today. But he should be back tomorrow. Hopefully back tomorrow. So yeah, there's your answers. Too bad, right? I know. It's nice when the whole show's together. Yeah. But then we get right. Well, this is a special treat. Hey, man. Lawrence. This whole town is on fire, coach. Because I don't know if you've noticed, but the baseball teams have been active. Cubs are done and that sucks. White socks are rolling in. That's excellent. Hey, let me tell you. I. Yes. The city is on fire. I had the cities on fire for them. The city is on fire from Northwestern. This new stadium. I mean, I had lunch yesterday, Donut Gibson's, Steve Lombardo, Mayor Daley, by 10 guys. Okay. Yeah. And obviously, they're South Siders. Yeah. So they were talking, they were talking. I was listening, you know, about the socks.
And then they got into the stadium because they were talking about the big weekend coming up, you know, for Northwestern. Yeah. Tomorrow and open state. You know, Northwestern's got some buzz. That's exciting too. And now, what there's bear stadium, there's two to you. You hear about that? I feel like his meeting with the bear daily of Gifts was part of it. Yeah. Well, no. You know, we've been down this road. Now, let's stay on the road. I hear Kevin Warren's not even there. Not even there. Pat Ryan's down there. That's where it reminded me of you talking Northwestern. No, if that's true. You know, Pat? Oh, yeah. I've, yes, when I was coaching the bears, I, yes, I knew Mr. Ryan. I mean, if Mr. Ryan is involved, trust me. Things, things happen. He, he's not spending time anywhere unless he's going to have a real, a real purpose for being there. So that's exciting. That's all true. Who the hell knows what's true anymore? Well, no, that seems to be true. That's the governor's office for anybody who's getting the credit.
They announced that they had a meeting with Roger Gidell. Our mayor wasn't there. No, mayor wasn't there. Kevin Warren wasn't there. They were meeting somewhere else. They have their clothes. Okay. I got you. Yeah. But that's interesting to think about that. You know, you know, Mr. Ryan, he gets stuff done. Yeah. If it's going to happen, that would, everyone still kept, you know, assuming that it was going to happen there. Yeah. You know, I know God, how long has it been? Six years we've had that property upper. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But that's all right. You know why? We got a two in one team. We got a head coach who knows what he's doing. And now we got a quarterback controversy between QB2 and QB3. Well, I don't know about that. I mean, let me just say this because I said what I said on the morning show Tuesday. And I heard from some people that people totally disagreed with me. Yeah, because what you said was that case. Case has got to play. I said, if you ask me who the best player is, there's no question who's the best player.
You know, Beijing to best player. Okay. I mean, the guy's the number two quarterback, you know, I mean, I've seen him up two years ago. There was questions when Caleb and the snap and everything's going on. You know, I mean, they were looking at a agent was having as good a training camp as Caleb at that time. So they love taking out of Beijing. There's no question he's the best player. Now you take a step back and say he's coming off of a concussion. Okay, we can start the agent. He gets hit. Okay, he gets hit and has a concussion and has to miss two weeks now. Okay, now he's missing the same time that Caleb is. We got a problem. On the other hand, you say, okay, how about a case goes in right now? The locker room. What's the best for the team? Okay, now teams feeling good right now. I mean, I think the fan, everybody's feeling good about Casey went in. He didn't turn the ball over. We beat the Eagles on Monday night football. So my thinking was, and I've been through that with Steve Walsh here at the Bears.
When Kramer got hurt, we ran it and went up and beat the Vikings in the playoffs up there. Steve Walsh. Jeff Kramer, the big day. I was at it. We went through this at Dallas. Troy Ackman gets hurt. We bring in Steve Burline, Notre Dameer, back up, back up. We get on a run. We get down to the playoffs. We're going to play Detroit. Talking to Jimmy, what are you going to do? He says, I know what I'm going to do. He says, momentum. We got momentum with Burline. A Burline starting. He went in. He played bad the first half. We were getting beat. I mean, everybody played bad. And then we put Troy in. So, I guess my experience was if you got the momentum, momentum, you want to keep it with your team. So that's why I said case. Obviously, if case goes in there and throws an interception and bubbles of snap, you got Beijing. Let's go. Well, that makes all the sense in the world, though, to go with the momentum of a winning team. Like, there's something, your team responds well when you do that, too.
Right? And you do, you want to see your teammates who are producing it on the field. Absolutely. And we have a game plan. It's not like last week was the challenge for Ben. You know, because you got all these movement passes with Caleb and with Beijing being the backup. There are the two guys getting the war. It's, you know, the bootlegs and the waggles and all those plays. Well, now it's a, they're both basically out. Once coming off of a concussion, you don't want to get him yet. So now you're going to case. Kingdom, who is a drop back, get it out quick guy. And he got it out quick. Now, Philly, Vic Fangio who's coming after him guys, he can hit three times the whole game. That was it. That was it. The ball was out. 11 against the blitz. Yeah. Our offensive line did a great job. Is that what it was? 11 for 11 great point. Or see, it's a guy. That's the first time I ever got any information sitting in this chair for many. That's because I'm usually sitting in a different chair. Other than what kind of berber I'm sipping from my tanning.
Well, that's important. That's important stuff. But no, really, it's, yeah. So that's why I said what I said and why I'm standing with that. Do you think that Ben has clearly taken command of that locker room and they trust and have faith in Ben? Sure. And certainly with a game plan, he put together against Philadelphia on Monday night was more proof that it doesn't really matter. Who's under center? So if he did decide to go to Tyson, it feels like the buy-ins already there because of the head coach. No question about it. You can go with Tyson and he's going to get out of the pocket and he's going to scramble like Caleb. And he's going to get hit probably. So that's the trade-off. People will forget that the guy was in contend protocol five days ago. You know what I mean? Yeah. And just got released Saturday. So let's, you know, I'm looking at everything when I make that call. You know, I've been thinking about whether, you know, there's any sort of ego that gets involved or feelings that get involved for case who's been waiting so long.
No, no, no, no. Yeah, listen to this. Listen to this. This is K.S. K.M. It's his case K.M. on the in case you were wondering, Pod. But it's actually on, it was on your pod, the other way. And there's our studio 41 football recap live show. All right. So this is K.S. K.S. K.M. on their show the other day talking about Tyson Beijing right here. Tyson, man, he's a, I mean, he's a starter in this league. I really, I really truly believe it, man. And I told him after the game, I was like, man, I hope you get a night, like tonight one day. And he will a great player. One of the smartest football players I have ever been around is a sponge. He's hanging on everywhere I say. And man, he wants this bad. He loves football. He loves ball. And y'all saw his interview after he signed his contract, man. I mean, couldn't happen to a better guy. So he'll get a shot one of these days. You know, who knows? Could be sooner than later. The way things are going this year. So I looked for big things from him, you know, in the future soon and later.
So he'll have a long career ahead of him. And I'm excited to watch him play. How about that coach, a little chuckle. I could be sooner rather than later. Yeah, I mean, and so maybe he just told us something that the Beijing start and great. You want to start him? Start him. You know, I mean, that's that's why I look at it. But um, case was retired, guys. Ben called him last year to say, hey, we want you to essentially be a player coach here. Yep. And he thought about it and he came to Chicago and just got the two-year extension in the office. He said, I don't think play, he'll tell you that playing a game at all. Let alone playing like he did on Monday night. Wasn't in the realm of possibility. So I don't think he's looking up looking at a 10-start move here. And he's a type of person. I don't know him. I've never met him. But I watch in his interviews before, after, during, this guy is like the best. So that's, I guess the other side of the coin that I didn't know early, that, you know, you could go with, with Beijing.
And if you don't like what he's doing, you know, he's, the case is not going to, his feelings hurt. At the point that I'm making, you could go to him and say, listen, this is not going good. We've turned it over. We've fought whatever, something, let's go in there and let's settle this thing down and get it going. And he's, he's going to say, you got to coach whatever you need. I mean, that's, you know, that's the type of guy he is. So, you know, make a decision. And, you know, it's like, yeah, the Cubs fans, they want to, you know, I'm listening to you coming up here. God, you want to fire the coach? Fire the coach. I mean, are you kidding me? I mean, I'm listening to all these. Oh my coach, I'm trying to get this. I got to get that. I'm from Cubs misery. I'm talking bears in you. So what's all mine? You know, I'm looking at this damn screen. Don't look at it. Don't look at it. I shouldn't. I don't even know what this, what is this? That's Twitch. That's the Twitch screen you're looking at. So, this video, you turn us off.
Right? Turn this twitch thing off. Why would you, why don't you sit there? I don't need to sit there. I don't want to sit here and read this. I'm trying to talk bears and somebody's wanting to fire the coach for the Cubs. And don't worry about that. Coach doesn't mean nothing. Yeah. Eyes right here, coach. Let's lock it in. Hey, let me ask you this. I thought of you on Monday night. You know why? You know, I'm just excited about T.J. That he's holding up physically, you know, because he's got a lot of, a lot of years on him. I remember doing the big tent stuff and talking about him at Wisconsin. Yeah. But some proud veterans, I thought, played their ass off. Play their tail. I mean, that, that interception, when he dropped back, you know, like he was blitzing and then, then fold J. Then Hertz and dropped in the coverage. And he knew where to drop. I mean, that's professionalism. I mean, that's, that guy is a leader. He doesn't just stand, you know, there's leaders.
We've all seen him that stand up from the team and, and raw, raw, raw. But then there's other ones that, that back it up. And this guy backs it up, man. I love him. He's been my favorite defensive player since, you know, since he's got here, really. You have ever seen receivers block at any level, like bandits having, if they hate to, through the Seagab, the other day. Two receivers. I've never seen it at the professional level. Yeah, you know who you used to do that? Heinz Ward. You know, I don't know if anybody remembers who he was. Of course, you know, from the Pittsburgh Steers. He's got to block with the best of it. He would bring, but not just the crack blocks, but they would bring him in and send him up into the line of scrimmages, like you're talking about Ryan. But other than him, though, it's, you know, and that goes back to Ben and how he's grinded on these guys. And you know, you want the football, you got to play, and there's not a long run that hasn't been recorded that I know of, that a wide receiver hasn't got a block.
Yeah, they all got to get out there and get down there. They got to get something done. Let's go back to the defense. You're got Dennis Allen. Very aggressive. Very aggressive these past couple of weeks. Did you like the game he called on Monday night? You like this, this version of Dennis Allen? Yes. I did. And he's going to get a better chance this week. Because let me tell you something. Geno Smith, guys. I tried recruiting him out of high school when I was a pet. Wow. Mayor Mar High School. Okay, Donna and Florida. And he went to West Virginia. The coach was from West Virginia. So he went there. So he actually played against us a year, a pet. And then obviously I knew his whole career went at the jets and all that stuff. But he's a streaky player. This year, Geno is having a very good year. 75%. Yeah, four touchdowns, no interceptions. But he's streaky. He's not a scrambler. He's not going to get out and run. That's not his deal. Never was. So I throw that up because I say, okay, this is a, Dennis Allen, I expect him to heat things up.
I expect him to heat things up. I mean, they, they do have some good receivers. I mean, you know, Garrett Wilson will make the plays with the best of them. A breeze hall, the running back. I mean, he can take it the distance anywhere on the field. You got a rookie tight end Kenyansse dee could broke out with seven catches. 105. I got a organ. This kid. This kid was a freak. Good. He's not lovelin, but he's that style. You can flex him out. You know, you can put him in positions like a wide receiver. He has a lot of different things. No, they, and then on defense, they, they, they signed, they drafted the kid out of Miami. Bayley. I was, no, Texas in M. World was Bayley. Texas, Texas, Texas. Texas, Texas. You know, who obviously is a player. And then they signed Davis to linebacker and they got sweat, the defense of tackle. They've got some players on this team. And it's kind of funny because it's the, you know, the, the, the Dan Campbell bowl. You know, it's, it's Aaron Glenn, who was the defense coordinator and Ben Johnson, who
was the office of coordinator. So whether that means anything or not, who knows, but, but these guys have, you know, worked against each other in the off season and training camp, we competed so they know each other a little bit. Yeah. We, we touched on a little bit during the page about an hour ago, their history and their respect for each other. And all that, you don't always going to think about in terms of the two of them is when Washington went to Detroit and beat them in the playoffs, just how sad that entire organization was because they knew it was the last year for both Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn. Yeah. I mean, Ben came back because of the loss in San Francisco thinking we, we, I'm not ready to be a head coach yet because this is two we have unfinished business. And then the business. Right. Yeah, I tried. I remember it. Yeah. So did you expect Dylan, the enemy to be this good this quick without Kobe Bryant's presence? Yeah. Well, I mean, the guy has played at a high level, obviously, at Purdue and then at Oregon. Yeah. I mean, I did. I, there's a lot of people that I had him and Michael Downs, the, the, the defense
back from Caleb Downs. I'm sorry. From Ohio State, who Dallas took in the, what, 10, 12, whatever they took him in the first run. I, I, I had, they met with him. I mean, there, and there was a lot of teams that I talked to that had our guy, okay, a head of Downs. Well, yes. So, you know, he's got some special ability. The only thing that, that he did do at times was get over aggressive, but he's not doing it now. They've got him calmed on. The interception he made was great. I mean, that was all just instinct smart anticipation. The whole bitch, you know, Dave wants that is here with us. What are you drinking? Textures want to know what's in there, you know, you know, it is some brown. I don't know, but it's not Bradshaw bourbon. I do know that. Terri, Terri. They don't make it anymore. Yeah. Coach, I, you got, you got to, you got a case left over. I got it. No, I got to reach out. He's probably got a garage full. He started and I was told, Jimmy or somebody told me he started another company.
So we're two late to start another. He's always doing so. So, so the couple steers and opened up a bourbon. I don't know what he does. Terri, Terri's the best. You guys got people. Coaches here is the best part of our day. Coach, we saw a highlight of a play that the bears did from years ago. Ben Johnson stole it off of Mike Martz. You'll never guess who the opposing coach is in the highlight that we saw the other day. We'll play it for all of you when we come back on the score. Hey, it's Han Peyton Morning, 530-10.

And I'm always available unless I'm doing something with Spiegel at home on 104-3, the score. Here in Bright Shuttle, winding up at the 1, third down and goal, under center with swept the back, three tight ends to get the snack. Four of that sweet, private touchdown team of them. And the Bears have brought up 26 to 7, 7, 19 to the 4th. I gotta see if this is the play that I think it is. And I know Ben Johnson has talked to Mike Martts over the years about offense and stuff. That's Kurt Warner, friend of the show.
Talking on the Monday day football broadcast, realizing that that sucker sneak, that Case Keenam ran is a play that he used to run under Mike Martts when he was a ram. During the break, me and Ryan McGuffey here on Spiegel and Holmes called up a video and played it for Couch. This is from what, Tanny? 2004? Now I have nothing to do with this coach. This is all Alex. He wanted to play this. So, you know, this is Bill's Dolphins 2004. Got the box score there for you, Spiegel. Let's just waste air time. Go ahead, Ryan. I'm going to say Bill's a Sam. So here we go. 2004. Yeah, yeah. Ram's Dolphins 2004. Back in Miami, Dolphins leading 7 to nothing, St. Louis looking at a 4th down at 1 here. If you're the Miami Dolphins, 0 and 6 on the season, this is a big play. I think, for both teams, you're right here. Dolphins, a huge play if they can stop them. Momentum turnaround, all that stuff, but they want that nose.
That was close to, Mike Martz can be and that offense can be. Jackson is the deep back right here as we said, Ram, 6 out of 6 on 4th down, making 7 out of 7. And this game's about to be 7-7. Mark Bulger just takes it right up the middle for the score 15 yards. Let me tell you, that's why Mike Martz is down there on the field ahead, said on. Because you think Jackson, you think Jackson and who would have thought Mark Bulger on a quarterback's knee? They caught the Dolphins. Apparently not the Dolphins. That's the last match and they thought what would happen. Terrible. Alex, why would we run this? The tackles go outside. The center goes up one step. You think anybody really cares about this? Who needs to be cut? You know what it's for? What was your first question to me as soon as we signed this one? How did that game end up? You said, what was the score of that game? I looked it up. What was the score of that game? That's what the box score there for his first. 31-14 Dolphins. Big crap. That was the last. That was just last NFL win actually. That was the hurricane. Four hurricanes in five weeks.
We lived in darkness. Our facility. No, our facility, truly, the Dolphins facility was a shelter. And Ricky Williams was an India Smokin' Doap. So what do you want? I don't even count that year. The first four years, big, that's where we were. Yeah, he has a lot in your play. Well, we had a third winning his team. Wins in the NFL. And there's four years. Those four years down in Miami, you went 11-5, 11-5, 97-10-6. Yeah. Some believable. And then they fired your ass. No, no, they didn't. It's a long story. Now it's not enough time. Oh, really? No. OK. We got so much to talk about. What'd you think about the sucker sneak? Was that a pretty point out? Oh, that's a good play. I mean, if you're defensive lineman or aggressive and trying to play hard, you can trap them. I mean, we would trap a team. We would, you know, it was a great play. Great play. With the both guards pulled, basically, as a team. Well, what they're trying to do is they're
trying to influence the guards, because they're coming so hard that they're trying to influence them and get them out of the way. I'm just pissed I didn't bet the any time touchdown at case game. We ran that play at Oklahoma State. You did? Oh, Kelly, Coach. Oh, really? That was not. So we don't just give this to Mark. No, that I'm calling. We don't give it to Mark's. We're calling Geniusness. Mark's got it from somewhere. So who is running an Oklahoma State? Who is the offensive? Tony Wise. Is that Tony's play? I don't know. I don't know. What? You know what? I got to go in five minutes. Come on. No, we are truly wasting my time. Well, what do you want to talk about? Let's talk bears. Let's do it. I mean, come on. The Jetson on a sleeper team. They're motivated. Their coach is a fireball. I mean, you're coming in here. I know they're not as good as the bears. And, you know, coming off a short week, Monday night, bears got to be motivated, got to be fired up, got to be excited, which they will be, you know, home cried will help. I'm glad we're at home.
Yeah. What is something that you haven't seen that you'd like to see more of with this bear's team right now? Whether it's offensive or defense, either side of football. You know what? He's checking his phone. We only got you for five minutes, coach. He's texting Kevin Cross. You got anything to pre-taped? You know, I would you don't want to know the textures I'm getting. No, I see coach. I'm a problem. I'm not going to read them because I don't want you to get fired. I'm getting I'm getting texts too. Are they everybody thinks it's me? Sorry, coach. That was my thing. I would never do that to you. You know what I would like to see? Yeah, you would. I would like to see some of these blitzes get home on defense. I think it's time. You know, I mean, lock them down a little bit over their coverage wise. At least the blitzes are coming though. Yeah, oh no. I love that he's being aggressive. I feel like it's looking like it was in the Ram game in the playoffs when he like said, all right, well, I can't get pressure with the edges. I'll come with that. I think we're due for a good special teams play. You know, a kick return, a block, you know, something on special teams. They kind of, I mean, you know, because obviously as a season goes on,
the games go on. You need all three phases, offense, defense, special teams. So I'd like to see a little something other than kick and feel goals. Okay, I'm talking about return game block, something, something from, from that angle. And yeah, offensively, you know, I mean, you're protecting the ball, guys, we're throwing the ball. We threw for 250 or what? Roughly 250. We ran it for a buck in a quarter. We don't turn the football over against the Eagles defense. And get three takeaways and get three takeaways. I mean, I mean, it was a heck of a day, you know, I mean, so I don't have an answer to speak, do the same thing we did against the Eagles. I mean, that, it worked. By the way, this segment with Dave Wands, that is sponsored by EOC golf play any golf course at home today is been to cocky or to over the top with some of the stuff he does, going not taking those points, not taking those points and going for down fourth down, flipping
the right side of the offensive line to the left side. You like that? I mean, I would hope Philadelphia would notice that, you know, maybe they didn't. I don't know. But yeah, I mean, no, do I think he's getting benched to arrogant or to overly cocky with side stuff he does. I think he's very confident, you know, I think he assesses how the game's going. He looks at the offense defense special teams. And as a head coach, he feels very good about doing some of those things. And because if they don't work, which they, some of them don't, that you're good enough to overcome it. I think that's the reason, you know, that he's confident enough, not cocky. All right. One big thing we haven't talked about, right? Yesterday, they opened the 21 day practice window for Kyler Gordon. Yes. And he was at practice yesterday. It's a walkthrough, but they labeled him as a full participant on day one, Dennis Allen, talked about him today.
A little bit seemed pretty, pretty open to the idea of Kyler. What do you think? Is this relationship fixable? Oh, yes. I mean, definitely, because he's a good player. You know, it's just a matter if he holds up, you know, I mean, when he, when his time is, when he's eligible with another week or whatever it is. And he's in the game. Now you got to produce. Now you got to show up and you got to play. And that's what I want to see. I mean, I don't want to see anything else, this practice stuff and I'm feeling great. That all sounds good. I want to see you on the field, making plays like you, like your capable of. Yeah. We talked to Patrick Manley earlier, he says, long as there's no locker room fracture, this can get solved because good players, great players can do things on the field and help you instantaneous. Yeah. And I don't know, I mean, I don't know about the locker room. Who knows, you know, I mean, how they interpret all this stuff, but that's how I would see it. So, great. You're back.
Healthy. Let's go play. Let's go play football and, um, any value from there? Coach, I got to come clean. I got to come clean. Go ahead. Go ahead. I wasn't Alex. I wanted to play that. QB, snake. Uh-oh. You. It's me. Disappointing spigs. I'll let you know when I'm back so you can come back, coach. I just, I just, I thought, I thought maybe you'd have a memory of it. I just glad you went there. I honestly didn't remember the play. I didn't want you to like relive something terrible. I just won by 17. Well, yeah, I figured you'd recognize the play and be like, oh, this happened. I usually every touched on her first dawn or something. I remember, but yeah, your, your memory, your brain's like a still trap. Yeah. But I'm sorry. I didn't mean it upset you had triggered you. No, I just didn't want to waste time talking about that. I know. All right. That was a wasted. How can I make it up for you when they were looking? I do nothing. Just be better. I'm leaving now anyway. I got, I got places to go. Really damaged the relationship. Coach, we love you. All right, Matt. All right. Let's say coach.
She's DelModara. I mean, all the time you didn't have to say fired your ass either. That was something else you didn't have to say. That's fair. Yeah. Alex, I didn't want it to be on you. I couldn't do it. I mean, you're too good a producer. You're too good a man. I had to make sure that coach knew it was on me. Yeah. That was a 17 point win though. Let's remember. Yes. I'm back on out. I'm, I'm believing in Alex. He's the appreciated coach. I'm pretty sick. Alex is so happy. Is it? He's stressed. I had to point the thumb. I had to own up on that one. Alex was in his feelings a little bit. I'm Jack Bady-Wall. I bet he was. I ain't gonna leave this comedy show. I'm going to. Go to the show. Coach, I'm gonna leave the comedy show. I'm going to go to his actual radio and TV. Whatever. Whatever coach. My God. Just happy one of the game. Yeah. He won the game. 31-14. And he's like, I tried to, I tried to, you know, praise those dolphins years a little bit. You know, they're legit to be praised. Too bad Ricky went off and smoked all that dope.
And too bad. I'm saying, can you imagine if coach had a quarterback better than J. Feedler or Steve Wallsher? Yeah. You're a creamer for a year at any point. At any point. At any point. At any point. But obviously a damn good personality, a damn good leader, a man right there. That Dave wants that. It speaks and Ryan McGuffey right here on the Spiegel and Holmes show when we come back. You know, somebody went viral and celebrated it. But we need to explain that family should always be praised and defended. And thank God the White Sox got everything going in the right direction.

Not particularly. I think we're all just getting celibate for Sean after his quote yesterday.
I think the fans had some fun with the outline. I know we're going to let him have it. Mike Vassel and Anthony Kay. And they're celebrating. They're celebrating. And they're also given the business to Sean Burke. And trying to like get the situation into a better spot. It speaks him right. McGuffey here on the Spiegel and Homshow. Because Sean Burke told James Fegan that his dedication to the game is characterized best this way. Quote, this is my life. No family, no girl, no kids. This is all I do. Sean Burke. He's dude, it's man. And they gave him the microphone on the field yesterday. Mike Vassel, you clear to clarify to your poor mom. We have this right here as a matter of fact. This is Vassel with Burke. And I believe Colson Montgomery hanging around in the back as well. Burke, I'm running interviews right now. Yeah, I, we know. No, hold on.
I'm holding. I'm running the interview right now. Okay. This is, it's rolling. Correct. So there was a quote, right? No family, no girl, no, no kids that we hope. I'm pretty sure he's got no kids. First off, Sandy Burke, I'm so sorry. Mother of Sean, he does have a family. But you got to explain that quote for me. So let's just start off here. I want to preface I do have a bit for Sean. I love you mom. Sorry if you were upset about that. The kind of a cook or kind of cut off. It was no family of my own. Love my family. They're all over here somewhere today. Came out always supporting me. My mom, my dad, my sister, all my aunts and uncles, grandparents, Bob, she, I'm a shell, everybody's supporting me, Peter. Shout out to you guys. Shout out to you guys. Yeah, onto the next one, man. I'll give this thing back to Mike. I don't know if he's got any more questions for me. I was trying to go to bed last night and the quote, I'm sure you saw it, right?
I didn't see it actually until this morning. And I knew he was on demon time. And I knew that was the guy we went around the mount. Yeah, you know, and then he took the mount. And you know, he's just such a competitor. But again, I apologize, Mrs. Burke. You are most definitely family. Again, the kids thing, we don't know. Shout out to my mother, Kathy Vassel. You know, we love our moms. But Sean Burke, congratulations. You are going to the American Atlantic. Americanly division series. Congrats. Any final words from the two of you, Colson? Sean. Just go socks. South-South. See you soon. Colson. Go socks, baby. Chicago White Sox fan fans. You will see playoff baseball. OK? You're going to see it, right? Oh, yeah. Yeah, he's talking about likability.
It's a loveability, man. That's a hammered. Just. I mean, relaxed and enjoyable and hammered those guys. Yeah. And some people say it's a well-curtured series. Fine. Don't tell us that these guys, so I'm saying, man, they are dangerous. They are fearless. They are dangerous. I got it. So we were talking about the Cubs and the White Sox and Star Power versus O for 15 with eight Ks. That right? Is that what PCA? PCA. A pregnant O for 15 with eight Ks. Miguel Vargas and Minasakumura Kami. One for 17. Looked a little bit different, though, didn't it? In that two game series. Wow. Yeah. One for 17 for those two dudes. Let's just start off here. I want to preface as I do have. We're so a bit for Sean. The Pope would approve, right? Absolutely. The celibacy at that point. Yeah. Little James Dolan action, too, there. Sox fans are really truly convinced.
That's right. You're actually going to go for it 21 days. I'm asking you for 21 days. Yeah. I don't know if the Sox fans are going to buy into that. Maybe you should give up sex. That's James Dolan in the next. I don't think the fans have to do it, Guff. I don't think it's a directive for the fans. I mean, you could in solidarity. I'm off here. I'm good. I want to preface as I do have. So a bit for Sean. That's a wrap. Unbelievable. No, to your point, the two power guys, not quite superstars, but yeah, the two most important bats for that white Sox team were one for 17, but everybody else did their stuff. Yeah, got a lot of guys. Cups got some work to do. And they got some forced roster decisions that will be happening. And we have a whole lot of season to discuss. Amazing. Right? The trajectory of two different teams, a conversation of two different teams right now. Yeah. The same exact series. Yeah.
It was rough, man. It was it was it was sad to see that end. I'm thrilled. I'm thrilled that there's more Chicago baseball headed into the heart of October. I wish there was one game tonight, but yeah, in Zediego. Hey, man, you got to focus on that big Thursday night football game. You got to really give that your attention and your love.

That's how bad it was. This was unmitigated garbage. Well, early on, there's robots. I don't want robots. It was pure torture. But when I tell you, this thing was bad.
I'm telling you, really, I was thinking about, I was thinking about, inflicting pain to myself just to keep myself awake.
