Who's the Cubs' stopper? (Hour 1)

0:00We're open. We'll let a call through, man. If you've got solutions or problems or do you think it's a chronic issue or one that will eventually stop itself by the nature of the bullpen 3126446767 we will tackle it all. Let's go to Jim and lockpour. Shall we, Layla? Hi, Jim. You're on 1043. The score with Layla and Mark. Hey guys, how you doing? I was just wondering how the brewers are even any good. How do they keep winning? These guys are a bunch of turd nuggets. Yeah, I get this kid with a zit. The throw is 130 miles away. But all of a sudden, man, they're dealing with little things. What is it? I mean, what is it? What do you want? It took them forever to figure out he's got two pitches. Gas. Okay. You know, pick one of the other. Really, really good though. I love the emotion. The kid with a zit. The way he plays with emotions. I love that. What position players? Who are you going to take? I'm taking Tureo and I'm taking Tureo.

1:00But what we got? Yeah, I think he's got a pretty clear complexion now. Doesn't he? You know, you can get zits into your 40s people. The combination of zits and gray hair isn't any fun either. He's probably got the zits because he's grinded out there grinding. Also, when you work out for a living. I was too busy grinding my absolute face off. You might get some pimples when the humidity is a billion percent. I got a zit right now on the right side of my cheek and I saw my brother. They could like leave it up to your brother's nice zit mark. Big bloody zit. Screech, what did you do to your face? You look like a Raspberry Pizza. It's to sit off. Something was happened when it homogenizes. Whatever it touches, it turns around. What did you try scrubbing it off? I've even tried running through a car wash. Leila Rahimi, Mark Grote, midday's 10 a.m. to do on Chicago Sports Radio 104 3. The score. We are absolutely blessed here on the Rahimi and Grote show on 104 3 to score to have what is

2:06an absolutely gorgeous day in West Lake view. We are broadcasting live today from Cody's public house. This is just such a great scene out here. We are outdoors on the patio as the stage is set right now on this lovely day at this classic. Is there a more classic neighborhood style bar than the one we are broadcasting from today? Cody's public house. Leila, I know that you have spent plenty of time here at Cody's public house because it's a great place to spend time. Yeah, and with former score employees. I'm glad to see current score employees too. I've done shows here with MEC Sports Chicago. It is one of my favorite spots. You have a beautiful beer garden. You've got popcorn. You've got dogs. We have pops, a good puppy dog hanging out with us today. It's just a great spot to hang out and watch football and enjoy the weather today. So, can't really complain about the assignment today. No, no. I could probably do this every day.

3:06It's absolutely gorgeous out here. Unfortunately, it was another rough night for baseball for both of our teams. The white socks lost to the pirates. Four to two. We will get to them. But the cubs, they get swept. They got swept by the brewers. That really hits. What do you say? They were swept by the brewers in Milwaukee. Brewers beat the cubs eight to six. We could probably say the score probably wasn't even as close as it actually was because it was a blowout until the night thening when the cubs did score five. Can't take that away from the cubs, but too little too late for the Chicago cubs. And it was an unfortunately, an absolute dud for Kevin Gossman. Four innings, six runs, eight hits, six strikeouts, a couple of walks, gives up three homers. The yellowish home run, which just gets over the wall in the first inning, going Oppo. But Leila, you were so smart to bring this up in one of our meetings earlier this week. And that was you kind of threw your arms

4:07up and you said, who's the stopper for this cubs team right now? As in who's the starter that's going to come in and you know that they are going to give you a strong six or seven innings every time. Well, that's that's my point is when you consider what the cubs are doing right now. And the bullpen stopped mat boy from being the stopper the other day. Matthew Boyd gave it as all, but unfortunately it just didn't shake out. You can't say to me that any starter right now and you want to you want to say Clay Holmes, you want to say Matthew Boyd, you want to say Kevin Gossman, you want to say David Peterson, given the price that was paid for the three pictures acquired by a trade. That was the whole point, the whole damn point. And when you can't say that the guy who is the white whale that Jed Hoyer and the O. Epstein were obsessed with for so many years, I'm sorry to always think of the phrase Kenny gets as man. But when you're obsessed with somebody for a long time, they're going to be different than who they were the year before. And unfortunately we've seen Kevin Gossman not be consistent in his starts so far for this cubs team. He's not your

5:13stopper. Matthew Boyd is as close as I can get. Clay Holmes got teed up the other day. You know, we've seen David Peterson unfortunately. You can have a great outing, but if you only go for an a third, that's not the guy either. But I just don't have a lot of confidence not only in the cubs starting pitching, but obviously in the bullpen either. And that's what makes this so tough. Don't have a stopper. Don't have a closer right now. Yet this start for Kevin Gossman, a little bit different, but it reminded me of bits just the way he got hit up and the approach that the batters had the dud that he had in Washington, which was different because he was really good. It was Gossman in that game for three innings. He had a no hit or going and then then they just got punished or Gossman got punished by Washington. You're right. Gossman was the last time he played against Milwaukee. He was fantastic. You want to see him follow that up. He was great against at Arizona, but he said, Duds at Washington, a dud against Cincinnati. And we must listen to Jason Kipness, who by the way is going to be on this show at 1125 today. Can't wait to talk to

6:16Jason Kipness who's doing the pre and post game shows on marquee over the last couple of days. This guy like like more than anybody over there really tells it like it is. He is critical when he has to be complimentary as well, but very critical. And Kipness was again, 1125 here with Rahimi and Grote, but last night on marquee in the post game, he discussed how the brewers had a game plan against Kevin Gossman early in the game. Take a listen to this. I'm not even going to say the pressure got home. They didn't wait for even pressure to get to him before the pressure even started. They knew something was coming. They're game plan. Watch it all these first inning, second pitch. We're at the next highlight for going to show all these highlights are the first or second pitch of the bat. They had a clear game plan for this entire going and second in first pitch of the bat. They knew that he's been throwing his fastball and other teams will too. And these scotter reports in the playoffs, they know they've been throwing his fastball more. They know that his split is a great pitch and a great secondary in an out pitch. Watch contrast right here. Spurs pitch of the bat. They said we are going to come into this box swinging and

7:21swinging early and swinging hard. We're not going to let him get to this change up. They attacked him early. This was a game plan by their office. Yeah, and an adjustment from the game last week where Gossman was absolutely lights out against the brewers in that 2-1 win, which was a rematch of the pitching match up. We saw last night Logan Henderson, who was again very good last night for five shot outendings for the brewers. And Leila, isn't it just so indicative again of the brewers just having the Cubs number outskimming the Chicago Cubs, if you will? Well, that's it. It's for I always think of the you-dervish raise, you know, don't question Cubs data because it was so sound for so long. But you can't argue with the brewers right now when it comes to the results that they have against this Cubs team. I had no faith. None. When I walked into the office yesterday after what I had seen in the first two games that said to me this team wasn't going to sweep. I hated it. I raged quit watching after six to nothing. I had to go back and start watching again when I saw

8:24it was it was seven to one at that point and then we start to see them slightly chip away. Then they get the five or a ninth inning against a reliever at that point who I think the brewers are saying, oh, that's somebody we can bring in a low leverage. And for the Cubs are like, well, we had a five run ninth inning. You know, that's the other part of this is how are they talking about this series versus how the Cubs are? We're we're searching for answers and positives. And meanwhile, they're like, oh, we got the tie breaker. That's neat. They don't care. They have the best record and baseball. And they showed you yet again in this season series where it shouldn't have even come down to this much, given what happened to the Cubs. And I mentioned this before, the previous series I had against Arizona, the road trip with Seattle. Yeah, there are so many opportunities where we can go back and say to ourselves, was this really how this should have gone? Four and nine against the brewers in a series where you wanted to really see your teams shine. And instead it was one of the wins was was against a pitcher who thought he was chipping his

9:28pitches and told everybody how and then fix the problem. And then not enough when you needed your team to come out and actually produce. It's just frustrating. And then the the the concession attitude that I think is losing your home field advantage now against the feelings, the fillies. I just I can't get my head around any of it. Yeah, looking at the numbers right now, the Cubs are 10 games behind the brewers in the division. If you like to look at such things, and they are now a game and a half behind the Philadelphia Phillies for that top wild cards, about the Phillies beat up on Houston last night, 11 to seven. There he was again, Kyle Schwarber, the Swarabino with a grand slam in that game. They will play Philly will play Houston again today. And then the good news is, well, Philadelphia goes on the road. They're at Atlanta. They do play a struggling Washington team and the Met all coming up on the road. Should we talk about that night thing a little bit more because five runs were scored. And then things kind of halted. Didn't they?

10:32The Cubs were still threatening in that ninth inning. And there you go. Carson Kelly is due to come up to the plate. But no, instead, Craig council decides to go with the wide eyed rookie B.J. Murray Jr. at the plate. And council talked about that ninth inning last night. Nothing really happened that good for us. But we did put together a very good ninth inning and one pitch away from getting peed up there. And we got the time run up to the to the to the plate and one one pitch away from getting peed up with a chance to take the lead. So down seven going into that inning, that's that's a pretty good inning. And we put together some really good at bats. Okay, how many times have we seen guys off the bench or they get the call up, whether it was Pedro Ramirez at first or whether it was B.J. Murray or Kevin Alcantra, not see any time, you know, they don't get to start. I mean, Pedro did eventually, but you don't get to start.

11:33You're getting the call up, even that shot in certain situations. You don't get the significant consistent at bats, even though they called you up. And then suddenly your number is called in the ninth inning. Yeah, he'll be on the line. As if that's the best situation to ease in a young hitter. And then because of a split or hand in this theoretical handedness, you're the one up when when Carson Kelly, who got the double off of Trevor McGill the night before. On H eight, eight, eight pitch at bat. And this was a seven pitch at bat by B.J. Murray. But are you putting your young hitters in the best position to succeed there when you're not giving them consistent bats and other spots and then you're like, Oh, games on the line. It's going to be up to you, kid. I feel like that situation has repeated itself too many times. Yeah, that's just not the right guy in the spot. I get what he's saying about hand in this and all of that kind of stuff, but then and the numbers and the OPS. But I just don't think that was the right guy in that situation if you truly are trying to win the game. This segment is being

12:35brought to you by almost free teeth.com. Save on dental implants today. We'll have more cubs coming up. We're just getting started with Jason Kibness because we'll have him for a full segment. He had 1125. He has been telling some truths every time he's on. I mean, the last time he did the run of post game shows was during the 10 game losing streak, I believe. And he was adamant about something needs to change. And this is the victim of the 10 year anniversary of the world series. By the way, this was the guy who was on the other side. Yeah, that's right. And he almost hit a devastating home run that could have tilted that entire world series. I mean, when I saw Jason Kibness for a while, it was very scary. It was like VJ Rajee seeing him very scary still. There was a certain reaction I had to to him, but he can't hurt us now that he's a broadcaster. But he was an excellent baseball player as well. We'll talk to Kibness coming up at 1125 today coming up next right here on Rahimi and Grote, which is taking place from Cody's public house right now in Lakeview. We had the benches clear in the White Sox Pirates game last night because of Sam Antonacci's

13:40collision at second base. We've got to talk about that. And just a lost opportunity for the White Sox last night as they go down two and a row to the Pittsburgh Pirates. We'll talk all things White Sox next on Rahimi and Grote again live from Cody's public house on 1043 the score. Rahimi and Grote Hey, pay attention midday 10 a.m. to two on the score. Well, some fireworks as we went to break both benches and bullpen's cleared. And let's take a look at how this started after the ground ball double play Antonacci with the slide into second. And he sticks out that elbow and loud did not like that. Words were exchanged and that's when both benches cleared. Okay, wow. We'll get to that here in just a second. Some fun stuff in the White Sox game last night. John Shrippin with the call right there on CHSN. This is Rahimi and Grote. We are broadcasting live from Cody's public house

14:44in Lakeview until two o'clock today. We got a jam and day here because after us, Spiegel and Holmes with Lawrence Holmes and Carmen Vitale will be live from Timothy O'Tools in street reveal from two to six p.m. But we invite you to come out here to Cody's public house.

And by Miller light, the official beer of the Chicago Bears. One of my favorite things, Laila of doing remotes anywhere that we do them let alone right here, a home game for us here and the great big beautiful city of Chicago and the wonderful Lakeview neighborhood is the walk up crowd. Like if you are listening right now and you're in the neighborhood, come on by. Say hi. Laila was just saying this is one of this is one of the best setups we've had for a remote and a long time just in terms of being outside on the patio, a beautiful temperate day

15:48and a beautiful part of the city and a classic bar or neighborhood bar. Yes and it's dog friendly so our good puppy dog pops is watching over everybody greeting everyone. You can't ask for a better vibe so we are we are happy to be here at Cody's as I typically am. Yes. Wherever I'm at Cody's. Absolutely. You can find me here from time to time and we've got all the football ready on TVs here too so it's nice to watch all the games but last night watching the games I told you I've raged quit the Cubs game for several endings to just focus on the white socks once it was six to nothing and what a game we ended up watching. Socks hit a little bit better than they had as a team previously. They still don't get enough hits overall. I know that was part of the reason for the loss yesterday to the pirates frustrating but in the meantime it's not what you're going to talk about. You're going to talk about what happened between Sam Antonacci and Brandon Lowe. Again you can say that the story of the game of the game intermingled with that because the white socks offense had two bases loaded opportunities and in both of those spots late in the game

16:52in the seventh and eighth innings the white socks were victims that's right they were victimized by double plays in both of those cases but the one that we are talking about the inning of interest the guilty inning seventh inning it's four one hey there's Vargas why didn't he start the game last night I was talking to some angry white socks fans last night who were like why the hell at this point in time this season are the white socks not starting Miguel Vargas. I too asked that question. I'm like why is he coming in off the bench like why why wasn't he in the starting lineup. Right not now this eighth attempt to be the shit you just had labor day off you know it's not like they hadn't had a day off. They just had a day off that's a great point but it was in that inning Vargas comes up off the bench it's four one in the seventh the bases loaded one out Vargas does hit the ball sharply two third base classic five four three double play but on the along the way Sam Hattonacci was the base for on that first going towards second base he gives a little elbow I suppose you could

17:58say some people call it the chicken wing a little elbow to Brandon Lau the guy that was covering second base in that case and apparently so they had gone to commercial we didn't see it in real time they come back and they apparently Brandon Lau got a little bent out of shape on the elbow that Antonacci was giving both benches clear typical bench clearing baseball thing or it was just more guys trying to break each other up guys saying hello to each other good to see you man oh good to see you it's just a bunch of posturing now you literally stand up there and puff your chats right hold me back that that's really what it is um so so Antonacci does this everybody is irritated with the situation and might take on it is it's kind of twofold because it's like Antonacci is a potster there's no doubt about it this is thanks one to no one markers absolutely I can relate to him and look hey the springfield kid I cut my teeth and springfield as well shout out to springfield Illinois hope everybody's doing well about three hours south here from where we are broadcasting right now but this is not the first second or third

19:03time he has gotten under the skins of opposing teams I remembered vividly that first game in the Boston series that terrible Boston series for the white socks where he pissed off Wilson Contreras doing something similar at first base in Wilson Contreras is like the hell are you doing man and then Contreras went on to have a really good game yeah why are you throwing the bows at the club so to speak when there's when there's room and if you look at it you know we got a text message saying hey there was no collision no at the very end when Antonacci pops up when he's standing up and Lao has to give him space you know there's there is a they bump into each other so yeah I mean there is contact made it's not like a you know old school prior to the slide rules changing prior to how they called that you know it's not that kind of collision right but it's no they made contact with each other yes and you could tell if Vince was taken all right let's we got two great pieces of audio we got some Aussie gear and then we're going to play in a second but first let's let's hear from San Antonio let's let him defend himself he shared his perspective on the incident

20:05at second base with pirate second base been branded Lao can you explain what happened between you and the brand new mother yeah bases base were loaded and yeah went into the the base pretty hard just you know trying to make a hard throw for him to have to make and you know completely legal play if you you know go look at the rule book or go look at what happened you know you can slide as late as you want as long as you keep contact with the bag and that's exactly what happened and I think nowadays in this this game this this age I think a lot of people are used to you know you know just letting up on that play you know they say you know we play we play one 62 games you know just a let up early I don't want to make contact with them but you know here we're trying to get around any way we can and that's a close ballgame these are playoff games and all I'm trying to do is scratch around there and yeah sure he's a great guy but you know he get a few choice words

21:12to say at the end and then kind of you know walked away after that and yeah when you have a problem and you walk away like that it's I'm happy enough to have a conversation but you can't you can't walk away and you know he's a grown man so but like I said with all that being said it's you know they they won the game so you know they get the last laugh I guess you could say yeah what's there anything in particular you said he had a few words anything in particular that he took on bridge with on the slide I think he's just used to you know players letting up you know sliding like maybe 60 feet sliding or peeling off because you know that's what that's what people are comfortable with nowadays I don't want to speak for you know the the old age of baseball but I don't think a lot of people were letting up and I think it's kind of been you know the norm

22:13to to let up nowadays and yeah we're trying to get around in a way we can there and you know I did the same thing yesterday and you didn't say anything but you know I could hear a mumble a little bit but um yeah I'm just playing the game hard and I think a lot of people are don't see that way I guess do you think that you're getting noticed as being a physical player oh yeah I would think even you know people would label me as you know maybe a dirty player but I know that I have no dirty intentions behind it so if you know people want to be mad for for me you know I'll also in them or I'll play in them it's you know it's just fine by me he's hilarious that's Sam Antonacci do you think he's just kind of doing the I don't know what you're talking about I don't understand like come on you're used to it a certain way I guess these guys are a little but I'm sure he's a great guy

23:14he's a grown man he's a treat yeah that he's a grown man got me I I think here's the thing is Sam Antonacci knows one way and one speed he knows what he's doing and he knows how to hustle and he knows how to try to win on the margins in his play and I think he thinks that he's going to take every inch he is allowed in order to get the advantage that he got getting to the big leagues to begin with yeah that's what he has to do he has to be maximum maximum effort or else he's not going to be on that that he has to do he has to get hit by every thirded bad he has to get by a bit because this is his existence in a jelly baseball yes he sacrifices his body sacrifice himself now here's the problem is okay it's one thing to sacrifice yourself but is there a discussion to be had about about preventing that when you don't have to do it you know once you're at the with when somebody else is part of the process when the opponent could be the one colliding with you or in this case bumping or whatever you don't want that to happen well yeah especially in a situation where you're trying to score and runs are at a premium and you haven't done well

24:18against his pirates team right it's a close ballgame like you said the game is on the line right there if you can affect a two run ballgame in any way shape or form you do it all that said he knows what he's doing you know what I mean like Sam Antonacci gets it and I think the beautiful part about Antonacci is that he I think he accepts that he even said like I guess people I guess people think I'm a dirty player whatever the matter question is does he get buzz tie and tight today that that will be interesting to see we do we shall see a little bit later on by the way a Hagen Smith making his first starts for the White Sox one more cut we got to hear Oz again was just absolutely on fire in the post game show and this morning on haunt patty was great in both places this cut that we've chosen just happens to have been from CHSN last night Oz again is an old school guy who doesn't like the way baseball has played today in certain regards here's Ozzy on the whole thing what did you think about what Antonacci did here nothing nothing I don't think he's

25:20you know I think it's all we throw a little winky yeah I like I'm gonna touch your baseball be made for real man you know you know I mean it's not right hurt him you know you just you slide stop eyes it contact him I don't think he overreacted I then they did you know man I think he's a big deal about that Antonacci didn't I guess Boston he was a little different but in that place is really nothing going on you know I mean just a part of the game maybe but I don't think what's the reaction of the second basement me honest with you but now I know I'm gonna say they play like ladies will let it there's tough you see those lady playing nowadays is a boy but now may you live baseball is a bunch of Barbies playing baseball that moment was made for Ozzy again man he played at a different time when you were allowed to hurt guys and expose guys and real punches were thrown when the benches we clear yeah I feel like the buster posey broken leg change everything that did it it really did ruined it for everybody honestly in a way yeah and I remember talking

26:21to Arthow about it and he said the issue is you're supposed to give a path but you're supposed to it there's a technique when you slide where as a catcher and I was a former catcher you know you you have your shin placed in a certain way where your protector is facing that direction and then you wouldn't have that issue but that's just not how the game is played anymore so then I feel like that did change everything we have seen some serious collisions at second base too but Ozzy last night was hilarious and then Chuck nothing nothing Chuck was perfect there because he reacted the same way a lot of us did and then Ozzy didn't want to dis on the women who play the game hard but then set a bunch of Barbie there's a lot of the boys bunch of barbies bunch of barbies out there that's so funny and then the way Barbie moves you know her arms are permanently folded she's on her toes the visual really sold it for me I just love it for Brandon loud shirt like there's a sure he's a nice guy and Brandon louds a really nice ball player to live very familiar with Brandon

27:24loud is with his constant time in the NL Central and the cubs will get a little piece of their tomorrow the cubs are off today and then they'll be hosting the the pirates tomorrow yeah the better question is does being in town for a week affect an opposing team do you have too much fun in Chicago did the Yankees when they were here now the Yankees the Yankees were one of the best teams in the league so it didn't really matter but if you're if you're on the fringe like Pittsburgh does it affect you yeah well so far not not the case they have one two in a row the 9-3 win on Tuesday and a four-to-win last night and the white stock still two games up on the Cleveland Guardians in the division right now Davis Martin by the way didn't really get to talk about him but pretty strong performance five innings one run four hits a strike out a couple walks they only let him go 68 pitches I like the way they handled Davis Martin last night thank you to some of the people helping to make this a broadcast possible we are at Cody's public house right now in Lakeview a beautiful scene here on the back

32:43in the game and Seattle will win by three I said that and none of you guys none of you guys took note of that today that goes for everybody that goes for you to Ray you did say that I did say that Grody you were right thank you that's all I needed it's all I needed to hear of all I wanted that is a hug thank you thank you white socks fan I appreciate you yes one person in the crowd appreciates me thank you thanks Ray what are you talking about you also got gifts you already got shirts like here you are getting gifts again I have been gifted yes I'm waiting for my baseball cap but the one I selected was not available I knew I picked it. The Cody's baseball hat but you're right you were right about the game I think we all picked Seattle didn't we and then I didn't necessarily know that that was going to happen especially when Sam Darnold went down after five plays that's the Drake May I get the Seattle defense to the Super Bowl me nothing to you you're gonna throw three picks in the fourth quarter and that last one was the dagger I

33:44would be the decision a dagger you know what's funny too is as much as we can focus on Drake May and the Patriots losing this game it was also the instructive that was given to Drew Lock Drew Lock talked after the game and he said my job was to take care of the football and it kind of reminded me of the principles of Maddie refluse a bit with his quarterback but the difference is he didn't have the best defense in the league and I know Seattle's been through a lot of changes him and worry wasn't there Kobe Bryant Kobe Bryant for example but they still schematically do so much and you still got guys like Ernest Jones and Devon withers they're really good and the horses that we have mentioned I mean those guys are just absolutely tremendous Riley Mills are you my guy from Notre Dame and in his job specifically as the backup just keep the ball do everything you can will take care of the rest and then even on fourth and one that Jackson Smith and Jig but why you live in heaven man coverage why 45 yards for you and just goes I mean what what are you doing

34:46that they they played into somehow coach of the year Mike Raible and the Patriots who had played them the Super Bowl played exactly into the strengths of the Seahawks when the game counted yeah one thing like low key cool thing that I love was watching the match up oftentimes with Christian Gonzalez on Jackson Smith and Jig but especially on the play where they hit force one of the three turnovers against Sam Darnold in the fourth quarter Seattle's threatening to score and they have a penalty that pushes them back and then it's boom it's one on one JS and Gonzalez Gonzalez gets the best of it they're eventually forced to kick the field goal was Seattle at that time I love that stuff it sucked though that Sam Darnold gets hurt like it on the here here that is the lid lift air shot out the McNeil to the NFL and a starting quarterback in the NFL we all want to protect the starting quarterbacks leaves the game due to a hip injury on the fourth play as you mentioned Drew Locke has to come in the game 16 of 2287 yards featuring the 44 yard throw and catch the

35:48JSM but it's just it's just now what you want like that's the nightmare is seeing a starting quarterback get hurt at an NFL game it is especially when he's the Super Bowl winner you know there's that part of it too but they brought this on themselves and they want to have these games early knowing that days matter in the NFL those what the one extra two extra days of recovery we got a game tonight in Australia and I don't know that we're going to see anything better do you remember when we all talked about how the Thursday night game quality was just bad because players were tired and coaches didn't have enough time to install and I know I know that we have not had games previous to this that count it but you know how the NFL is so regimented to their schedule they know that they've lost days they know that one day of travel backs up everything they're trying to do per their plan so I don't know that we're going to get the best game and that really stinks because this should be one of the most consequential games of the season between the 49ers in the Rams you know that's a really frustrating part is this is one of those games that will absolutely matter and and we don't know that we're going to get the best products tonight.

36:51Well and it's just typical of the NFL these days with the the lack of fully padded practices with now the lack of preseason games we've been dealing with this probably for the last decade or so beginnings of NFL seasons are sloppy and kind of suck even though we're all at a 10 as far as the interest is concerned we got a break here but just really quick following up the the white socks segment with Ozzy Gain calling calling everybody Barbies these days and they do these days. What's Barbies do you realize that tonight's today is Thursday September 10th right? Correct attention all Barbie fans Barbie game day returns it's Barbie giveaway stop tonight and that amazing shout out to my friend Julie who sent me this I'm like you got to be kidding me and then she sent me the actual promotion that's hilarious that Ozzy obviously had no idea and if he did he's genius but I doubt he had any interest in what promotional stuff the white socks are doing on a daily basis. Remind us that is so good. We're all just Barbie girls in a Barbie world. We are we are I've been saying that for a long time I was afraid to make that public but my job is

37:55talk yeah that's right we talk we're gonna talk more next what why don't we keep the football talk cooking let's talk about the bears let's talk about Caleb Williams let's talk about my stress over predictions that I was forced to make on the take the North podcast. The most interesting content yesterday was in our breaks we need you to hear some of it because Mark Rody's consternation I think a lot of people share your pain. I bet they do so we'll talk bears and Caleb Williams and consternation next is we are broadcasting live from Cody's public house in Lakeview right now hello everybody it's Rody.
