This is John and Milwaukee. Hi John, what's going on man? The Cubs and the crew have a great team. They're the greatest teams enough. And the majors right now I feel the what? The Cubs and the crew are the two best teams in the league that just want to make sure I heard you're right. That's what I say. Wow. Stay off the weed. How do you come up with that after the one you just saw, man?

2:03I want to play along with you here, but I can't. Well, I just wanted to make a statement because the brewer's hired our coach, Pat Murphy, as a bench coach. And I think he was carrying Craig Consul for a long time. I believe that he's just not as good as everybody puts them up to be, especially after he got that amount of salary. And I'm going to leave you at that. That's who your brewer is, fan, right? I assume. Right? That's the watch when the Cubs and the Brewers for 10 years straight. Never miss any games. What? Be inspiring words of a fan who always root, root, root for the home team. You're a brewer's fan though, yeah? I'm both. I don't need coffee. I'll get my coffee hat right on right now. I don't believe you. Yeah! I don't want you to hit. Finish with a fan. Finish with a fan. You're from Minnesota. Let me try something here. Green Bay sucks. Green Bay sucks. Green Bay. Green Bay sucks. Green Bay sucks. Green Bay sucks. You have to watch football. Fooze ball. You plan to foosball behind my back. Fooze ball is the devil. This is the most random collection of collar.

3:05Your brewer's and Cubs fan and don't watch football. Hold on, John. Who's your basketball team? You got a basketball team? Well, now I'm a fair weather fan, so they got rid of my Attina Cuomo, Harvey Chay's name. A led by Janice, out of the rumbo. Are you a bear's fan? Well, since they're kicking ass, excuse my friends. No, you're good. Yeah, stop there. Bears are going to kick ass. Excuse me, how about those bears? You've got a bear down on a daily basis. Lila Rahimi, Mark Grote, midday's 10 am to 2. On Chicago Sports Radio, 104 3. The score. Oh, we got a bear down a lot today, Lila. It's Rahimi and Grote on a Friday. Are you ready? Are you ready to get bear's e? Well, I believe you said you had a bear's e? You said you had a bear's bucket of news that you wanted to empty. Oh, yes, the bear's bucket will be empty to 1025 and make no mistake about it, folks. You are listening to a four seasons heating, air conditioning plumbing,

4:05sewer and electric football Friday presented by your local Ford dealers and Advent. It is the bears and jets along the lakefront Sunday at noon. They cannot wait the two and one bears against the one and two jets, a jets team. The theme of the jets team is they are like, they're close. Look at the games that they've been playing so far. They are close contests. They just, they lost to the Lions last week, 31 to 24. But overcame a 14 point deficit in the fourth quarter to tie the game. Week two, they only lost to Green Bay by three. And they beat up on the Tennessee Titans 23 to 10 in week one. So they're, they're that team, Layla, that's teetering on being dangerous because they're close. The jets I'd say may be the biggest, well, prior to Cleveland being three and one, which is shocking. Is that a real three and one? You watched more of the game last night than I did. I watched the entire fourth quarter after I saw that exchange between Aaron Rogers

5:06and Mike McCarthy. I was like, oh, this is going to be interesting. Tell Marks I said, believe you. Yeah. So basically that I turned on like the fourth quarter of the jets and the, um, or jets, the Steelers and Browns game. First of all, let me tell you about that Andre Shemt. I think is how you say his last name. The kicker. Yeah. So he's from Vernon Hills. He was on the Bears practice quite a one time. Vernon Hills alone. He's the one who made the game winner against the Packers last year for the Browns. And I was watching the game in a friend of mine was talking to me about it. And they were like, uh, they were like, there's no way he makes this kick, right? For the game winner. I was like, Oh, no, I've seen kick. I'm like, I think he's good. And then he was. He made, it was 56 and he made that thing with like another four yards to spare. Boom. Cut it on 60. He was on the Bears practice squad. I just want to point that out. And he's a local guy. Why, why, why do you hate Kairos Santos? I don't hate Kairos Santos. I've learned to understand that Kairo will miss the 30 yarder, but then nail the like 52s screwball into the wind. It's all your field. He's really one of the steadiest kickers the Bears have ever had. Kairos Santos.

6:06But it's the 30 yarder where I'm like, and then you know who, you know, who had a really nice day on special teams too. Do you remember Richard Hightower saying his name is Jordan Bohorkweiz, the punter for the. Oh, yeah. So he, he, he put it in 81 yarder that ended up being 61 because it was a touchback. My goodness. You don't have to spend a fourth round draft pick on those guys. Ray, did you have something there? Oh, just quickly, my quick synopsis. I know this is a football Friday with a focus on the Bears. Yeah, Bears. Right. It was really a product of like the Steelers were a mess on offense for a lot of that game. They have no pre-snap motion. Yes. Zero. Like everybody just stands around. And on defense, they, they were a mess at the to begin the game. And then the Steelers defense kind of found themselves TJ watt started to get to Dishon Watson. But it was just they dug themselves a hole. That was synopsis of the game. So air go. The Jets have become the benefit of the doubt team in the NFL currently. They have and they got a pretty decent defense that is 12th and points allowed. Sixth and total yards. They are fifth. Well, let me, let me start with rush. They are 12 against the rush and fifth against the pass, which brings us to who will be passing

7:12for the Chicago Bears on Sunday. And both of your contestants spoke at Halles Hall yesterday. And I must give this little caveat. Neither quarterback spoke at the podium. It was not a formal setting. But both quarterbacks were amenable to speaking to the media. I think right outside the locker room, I think they did that whole thing where they set up the podium. It just gets to be too big of a crowd inside of the locker room. And again, for whatever it's worth, FWIW Tyson, Bage, it was the first of the two quarterbacks to speak. And he was speaking to about not getting the start on Monday as case Keenam was the one elected to do that because of the concussion to Tyson. I'd like to think about it in the sense of there's a couple ways to think about it. Obviously, I would like everything that the football world can offer me. But then there's also the part that I am from Shepherd University. So I have absolutely zero ego in this. And nobody's a bigger cheerleader and a fan of case Keenam than I am. I think he is the epitome of what I believe a quarterback is and is supposed to be.

8:15So it was fun to watch him play. Did you learn anything watching him prepare the week in rental? What did you learn? Yeah, just how he carried himself throughout the week. I thought it was vital for every quarterback in the room to see that. I mean, I know that I had a ton of notes outside of what we were doing schematically just on how he was carrying himself and basically just what he did meeting in and meeting out. Do you have any sense if you are the starboard? I do not. Pretty well done. I had a good job. Yeah, good job, Bay Cheryl Ray. And really, like if you're rooting for the the game ismanship part of it. If you don't want to give it up to Aaron Glenn, what the bears are doing at quarterback. Tyson Bayden did a good job of answering that last question as well. He was well rehearsed on that. Just to keep a steady poker face and do not allow anybody to know any different tone in your voice. But I also think that is him. He's pretty, he's been genuine like that. I feel like that's stoic guy. Yeah, looks you in the eye. The has has absolutely has absolutely zero ego involved in it.

9:17I mean, human nature probably dictates that like he he would like to have been that guy in that spot. I mean, I remember doing the remote for take the North and the idea that I suggested that he was a backup quarterback did not sit well with Tyson Baygens. Yes, but I also think it was the way he from what you told me about that discussion. It was how he felt like he had to talk to himself to make sure he was ready and hold himself to a high standard of the starting quarterback. That's a good point. Yeah, to be ready at a at a moments notice. And I'm not trying to make excuses for the guy. It's just when you hear him and off talking and like hard knocks, I think was a really good window into kind of his personality and how he fits into a room. So I don't think it's lip service from Tyson Baygend. I also to to that end the picture of Tyson Baygend in the locker room while case and then are doing their thing and he looks all. Some people thought he looked irritated. I thought that was just Tyson being Tyson looking stoic and looking professional like he always does.

10:19Let's listen to the other contestant case. Keenum making the case for his starting quarter back. For case. Very good. Yes, bears. I've been making my case for 15 years. I'm trying to win ball games. I don't really I didn't go out there to make a case to be anybody except myself. I felt pretty good about winning the football game and we won. So that's how I feel about that. You've had the living limbo live in limbo to be a chapter in my next book. You want me to write your memoir more than I'm going to do so. I already have one yet to be the. That's true. Given that that's how you've gone about it. How do you and short notice just having been in that world for your whole time in the end of hell? How does that make you ready? I'm I'm built for this like I literally have all the situations. I mean not all but I've I've so many banked reps of situations and outside noise that I can just I tune it all out.

11:25And I believe the truth and what my coach is telling me when my players my teammates tell me and what I what I see on film and what I when I know I can do and you know you just go out there and do the best you can. And then you learn from when you don't succeed. It's not it's not failure. It's an opportunity to learn. You know when he knows the role better than case can him. He's a professional backup quarterback at this point. And the quarterback who didn't necessarily expect to ever throw a ball in a real game with the Chicago Bears. Yeah. And I feel like he's playing with gratitude. The both of them do the both of them. They really do. I do feel like my possession arrow. Well that's possession arrows either one team or another. My my you know the prediction arrow. Yeah. What do you got? I feel like it is wavering a little more toward Beijing. So I personally would probably still start case just because my coach brain. That's how I feel but I think like the likelihood is trending more in the direction of Beijing. I feel that too. And I have not heard anything out of Hallis Hall anything exact anything sourced from myself or from anybody.

12:33But it feels like the best guesses coming out of Hallis Hall and the reporters are that it's going to be Beijing as well. It is interesting to me that it'll if it is Beijing it will have been two weeks in a row that she will have had a quarterback starting that has not started a game since the year 2023. That had been the same thing with case kingdom. It will be if it's Tyson the same thing with him as he started for games in the year. It's a 23 after he relieved Justin Fields. He had a hand injury against Minnesota. Then he comes in and then he starts four games and you know he was OK. He was OK against the Saints. He did have a three interception. He had a couple games with multiple interceptions. So but I'm not going to dwell on 2023. It is a different quarterback now in 2026. Obviously a very different head coach. Very different training. And we should probably give him the benefit of the doubt that he's better than what he was in 2020. How is too busy grinding my absolute face off? Yes, you're right.

13:35Yeah, just like you can see where the preseason helped case kingdom and and gave you an indication of what you might see on Monday night against against the Eagles. I think you can say the exact same thing about the preseason for Tyson Beijing. Absolutely. This Sunday joined the score and Bud Light at the sports corner in Rigglyville all in cruts Patrick Manley and yours truly will host our pregame show there. Who's yours? I don't know who that is. It just says yours truly. I just read what's in front of me. That is happening from nine to noon. Nine to noon. Who put the question mark in the teleprompter? I'll read anything. Then a career. Then have immediate reaction on the post game show after Chicago. Takes on New York. Compete in round one of Bud Light's national football faceoff tournament giving you a chance to test your football skills to win a trip to Vegas during an NFL playoff weekend in January. That's this Sunday before and after the game at sports corner in Rigglyville.

14:39The Sunday fall Galagher way trip and Rigglyville trip is a good one. You can still enjoy the weather. Yeah, man. Yeah, you can feel a little crisp in the air for the football indication. I'm sorry. There's no baseball there in that stinks. We have jet. Hoier on it one. Yes, we do. Yeah, yeah. Full jet. Hoier is doing the season ending press conference. We will carry that for you at one o'clock. We've got a lot more football. We got Steve Stone at 11 25. Adam Hogue is at 11 12 25 Kevin Fishbane. So I always look forward to talking to those two guys as we usually do on Fridays on this particular show. Thank you to our producers.

My name is Layla Rahimi and I love sports and I don't care who knows. We like sports and we don't care who knows. Oh, Ants Ledjammer, the quintessential radio return music of I'd say the early 2000s. It is a good song. Why did you?

17:47Yeah, you can't help but liking the melody of it is probably a bit different. I mean, it's inappropriate. The Peter Gabriel lived on the edge. Yeah, and I don't dislike Peter Gabriel. I like some things that Peter Gabriel has done for sure, whether with Genesis or Solo. I think that's just one of those songs I just heard way too many times. Yeah, because it's a quintessential radio return cut. It is. But it makes you feel good. Why? Because it just is. I've not noticed that. Man, I worked at a station that used to all the time back in the day. Well, this ain't that. Oh, yeah, I heard Derry use one of the better artists of a decade. Well, it doesn't matter. You didn't think I'd be capping for Peter Gabriel today, did you? Peter Gabriel. Come talk to me. That's a six-song right there. See there? No, I do like Peter Gabriel. I'm just talking about that song in general. I think I've just heard it too many times. That's all. It's Rahimi and Grote. I want to four three this score where we talk sports and music. We do like to talk music on this show and backstage and all those kinds of things.

18:50I just realized something about what is going to happen today at Halles Hall with the Chicago Bears and the Beats. The fact that, okay, so Kyler Gordon, if you don't know, was a full, Layla, full participant in practice yesterday. There was nothing limited about the designation that Kyler Gordon was given. If you don't know, the Bears did open the 21-day practice window for Kyler Gordon to come off of the public list. And he's got to sit out one more game. And then he would be eligible to return, which would be against at the Packers. And if he doesn't return, they put him back on the pup. He's gone. He's staying there for the rest of the year. So there are some big moments of consequence coming up finally in the Kyler Gordon story. But what I realized is that Ben Johnson will be asked about Kyler Gordon today. Oh, on the list of things that annoy Ben Johnson. That is one of them. That is correct. What's been your message to Kyler Gordon?

19:51Get healthy. It's the click for me. It's the tongue click. I don't give a bleep tongue click. Is that what it is? Or I'm pissed off and I have to answer this question, tongue click. You know what the list is. We've got over it. Yeah. I think that was also regarding Kyler Gordon. Oh, no, that was starters and preseason. Let's do the list. Okay, starters and preseason. Kyler Gordon. Kyler Gordon. Losing to the Lions for the last game of the regular season last year. Cell phone going off. Or is that a different category? No, no, no. Okay. What else? Let me think about this. Oh, the idea. Did you say Tyson potentially being traded? No. Yeah, Tyson potential. But that doesn't anger him. That was him coughing and having some fun with it because he loves it. Good point. It was a great idea. It's just brought out a happier side. Yeah. Holidays. Holidays. Yes, screw holidays. He's got Miami tape to break down. Yeah, that was time off. Yeah, but also he didn't know what day Christmas was. Right.

20:51Doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. I'll think of more. Yeah, we will. But here's the thing. Not only is a question just a five last weeks game by the bear season. Sure. Yeah, yeah, talking about last season can't do that. But not only would a question. Is it imperative quite frankly about Kyler Gordon today? Guess what? If if Ben Johnson is to give another one of those types of answers. And either way, even if the answer is enthusiastically. Follow ups are justified today. Are warranted today. Well, before then, like we could all infer from what he was saying. He's not happy with him. And so not necessarily didn't necessarily need a follow up. Now if he gets pissy, you're gonna follow up, right? What's the matter? Why aren't you answering these questions, Ben? Well, and even Ryan Poles. I'd love to hear what Ryan Poles has to say about this because when he was asked about it. There was a question about his finality with the team. Like whether or not he had played his final snap with the bears. And he was like, I don't know. Or if he was going to play this season.

21:51Right. The whole thing was a soldier truck. The whole thing was like, uh-huh. And I'm not mad at him for saying, I don't know. It's just the fact of the matter is this all seemed very up in the air. Yeah. Yeah. No, he made that very clear. Like he, and again, what makes the whole thing unprecedented in my mind. Yeah. The bears history is that you had the GM and the coach basically saying, you guys should feel free to interpret this however you'd like. Well, and then there's Brad Biggs reporting where he said teammates called the situation, quote, bizarre, end quote. And that's another indicator. Absolutely. And then, and then if we want to add to Kyler Gordon's side of it, we had herb-powered telling us that players came up to him in the locker room. And we were saying how much they support Kyler Gordon. How much they love Kyler Gordon. How great of a player Kyler Gordon is. That doesn't mean that that reflects the entire locker room, but there are players in there that do indeed support him. So it's, it's very interesting. It is the most mixed of mixed bag. It really is. And so we'll see with no idea if we're going to actually get to the point where this guy is going to play.

22:56Do you think he's going to play? Like is your prediction changed by the fact that he was a full participant in practice yesterday? Yeah. And because I think a roster spot, the, the tenuous nature of the roster spot when you open up a window like that. So this would be the last game he can miss. But the better question becomes, is it like a situation last year with Malik Ma, with Nishon right and Jalen Johnson, where the odd man out was Tyree Stevenson in that. You know, they, they want to go with the hot hand. They've talked about that. That's been the philosophy. So how does that work easing him back in? And that's a better question too. Yeah, yeah. I guess what Ben Johnson says today might be a good indicator of where they are with him now and where they are with him going forward. You mentioned this, Layla. I think you were the first to bring this up yesterday and then it came up again during transition today. There is a danger that the bears are facing against the New York Jets. This might be the most underrated, but high pressure streak in the NFL.

24:02Last season, the Jets with their former defensive back head coach, Aaron Glenn, did not have a single interception. Well, guess what, friends? That has continued into this season. It is the Cowboys, the Jets, the Colts and the Eagles are the only teams that don't have an interception yet this season. And I don't care if your case, Keaton or Tyson, Beijing, you cannot break the streak. You cannot be the team that finally has the Jets get an interception in the Aaron Glenn era. Don't can't do it. That's 20 games. Don't be that guy. You can't be that, like, no next team wants to break the streak. Patrick Finley was thankfully on this story. And Hallis Hall did ask press Taylor about this. Jets haven't interception passed in a year and a half. Do you want your guys to know that or not? Honestly, I remember hearing that going into the off season last year, we haven't talked much about that.

25:05Honestly, we're just going to go ahead and try to do our very best with every single thing we do. Obviously in the past game and that's not something necessarily we talk about. We know what, as everybody says, turnovers coming bunches and so we hope to not be a part of that. See, you don't want to break the streak. You can't be the team to do it. Don't talk about it. Yeah. And then that team will carry shame. For shame, the last interception was, Aston Davis, last regular season interception for the New York Jets, January 5th, 2025 against quarter back. You never get this Miami Dolphins quarterback. Tyler Huntley. That's what the game's where two O's out. Yes, it was. So it is ambiguous and gray as can be. And this is a good look for Aaron Glant who played defensive back during his career with the Jets. So while you can't really pin it on him and be like, oh, you should be doing better. It's not like he's in the second area. That's got to be super annoying though, because I'm sure the questions are consistent. And that's a topic in New York with Jets talk show hosts and that they have to,

26:06they have to deal with that on the daily. Oh, yeah. Yeah. They know a healthy level of dysfunction, the Jets covering media. Yes. And this, but you can't be the team. You can't be the team that breaks a streak. No, don't, don't be the, press Taylor tried to kind of soften it. Why do I get the feeling that he also knows? He did not want to deal with that. Because he might be a little stitious. He's just a little bit, just a little bit. Or maybe he's absolutely stupid. How we talked to press Taylor enough is a human to know that about him. I don't know. I don't think so. I think this would be the time. Do you think that there's any chance that Joe Tune will play left tackle on Sunday? That's the other part of this. So you're in a tenuous situation here with Braxton Jones being injured. And then Theo Betta did had some really tenuous snaps against him. I think there are some replays of guys just going right past him. Past protection seemed to be the concern with him. Yeah.

27:06How confident are you with Theo Betta at a left tackle? For a back-up quarterback. Look, Tyson Beigeant runs. He's mobile. So theoretically, that can counter some of that. I haven't been confident in a bear's left tackle for basically a season in three games now. Like, but I think that's the most important thing to do. Like, but to the bear's credit to Ben Johnson's credit, they have managed to overcome the issues that left tackle. Now, again, as I would say, I would say they've mitigated them. I wouldn't say they've overcome them. What I was going to say is it's been maximum effort. Yeah. Mitigated. Yeah. They have done what they've had to do. They've had to overcompensate at times to help left tackle or put them into position to win. Maybe putting as they did last week, putting Darnell right and Jonah Jackson on the left side for a play. For Darnell. As they did. Well, not for Darnell because they're doing that because Darnell is excellent. And it did again make me think it is Darnell right?

28:09Does he still the future at left tackle? Is there any chance that we reopen those talks depending on how Aussie Trappillo does? Which I guess is the real answer. Trappio. Like, he Trappio. Thank you. How good is Aussie Trappillo going to be? That's still the number one question. And it's not out of the question that he plays this week. We don't know at this point. Hold on. But it's possible. The bucket give it here. Okay. So now you're saying that there's. I don't think he'd start. Can we? Can we as a media unit handle Trappillo and Kyler Gordon coming back in the same week? Oh, Mit. Well, Kyler's not coming back. Kyler's not coming back this week. He can't play this week. Yeah, it's the next week. Right. Right. Right. So though, but. No, when I say this, I'm at like the same, the same week. Like, like, practice stuff. I guess Trappillo. Yeah. I guess technically Trappillo is a possibility for Sunday. He is now. In my mind, he's not. So that's why I went to the following. I get that. No, I totally get that. Like, well, I don't see a scenario where he would start.

29:12But I could see a scenario where he comes in. And maybe we'll get more of those answers today. Like, out of the hall, us all. Maybe we'll know more about Trappillo. Maybe our guys will have Hogan a little bit later. Fishbane as well. They could probably help us out with that. But that's it, right? Like, he is supposed to be, as you Trappillo, the stabilizer at that position. Now, played last year. But I don't know that he was necessarily outstanding. He was better than I think people thought. Yeah. But we still don't know if he can play the position. These are problems that I did not want to have. But we have. Yes, they have arrived. Oh, we have the announcement. Remember that time that I alluded to doing a show in Wisconsin? Was that yesterday? You made it this week at some point in this weird week of us staying up very late most of the week. You guys remember the callers said, Badgent? That's how we remember that. Well, we have an announcement about our show in Wisconsin.

Wait, are you picking us all up again? Are we going to ride with you up there? Are you going to ride with us? Yes, I am. Tyler, you're welcome to. I'm stuck here. Can you fit the soundboard in your trunk somewhere?

31:15Yeah, if we're going to put it in the trunk, we'll all go together. Tyler is an adult. He owns a car. So here is my only... Really a minute. We've got bigger kippy choosers today. Exactly. We're just out here. Passengers are here. You all need to meet at my place. That's it. That's the circumstance. You got to come. You got to be in my lobby and I will drive. Whoever... Listeners, come on to my lobby. Anybody that shows up in my lobby will all get in the car and we will drive to Kenosha together. It's going to be great. You know how this is going to join us out there? James Big Cat Williams. Oh, hey, really? Yes. He's fun. I love talking to him in general and then he's joined us at the Brought Stop before. That's great. James Big Cat Williams will be driving you guys home, too, by the way. So, that's the deal. You really want to upset that, man? No, no. Wait, if we show up here in your lobby, can we say how to Dave the Cat? No, because he'll just hide.

32:16Unfortunately. Dave has the ox if he wanted to come with to the Brought Stop. He keeps pawing at songs. Yeah, yeah. Maybe we'll bring him. Maybe we'll bring Dave the Cat. He'll have an absolute blast. That's my only requirement. He's a unique cat. Yes, he is. We have to talk about this and that is the latest twist in the Bears Stadium saga. Are you ready, Laila? Yeah, but don't say, don't say we told you so. Okay. But there is something new that I think is pretty valid in all of this. It's for he, me, and Grody. I want to for three this score.

Reheat me and Grody. Appreciate all the flowery comments there. Midday. Ten A.M. to two on the score. Score. Score. Score. Does this mean mom and dad are arguing? Or Kyle Tucker is talking about his injury? I'm sorry, I feel like I'm about to go on the raging bull.

35:18Because this is a great America song. That's where my brain goes. I understand where your brain goes there. The Kyle Tucker injury. Yeah, lower that's playing in the background. And then the covers went like six and no in the Vangabus era. Do you remember that? Do you remember that? You guys know the great America guy. Am I the only one who's in on that reference? I know him is the six legs guy. Yeah, the old guy. The old ball guy. That's right. Welcome back to Reheat Me and Grody. I'm 104-3. The score. I am staring down a story right now from Capitol News, Illinois, written by Brendan Moore, who actually was on the score today on the Hawn Patent Show. And the headline is all the right players at the table. And he talks bear stadium in CNI exclusive. Here's the dealio. Here's the thumbnail for everybody.

36:18Governor JB Pritzker said their work, quote, all the right players at the table Thursday. That'd be yesterday. As he sat down with NFL Commissioner Roger Gidell, Chicago Bears Minority owner Pat Ryan and key state legislative leaders to discuss keeping the team in Illinois. Quotes from Pritzker. I think it was a helpful meeting. Close quote. Pritzker told my colleague Ben Stolinski and I in an interview in his loop campaign office Thursday afternoon saying action quote should happen in the fall veto session that begins next month. Also in the meeting, as I mentioned, was Ryan, who is a Bears Part owner and board member with a net worth of $9 billion according to Forbes. Ryan, the retired CEO of Aeon, is the primary funder of Northwesterns, $875 million new Ryan field, which opens tonight, incidentally, cats against the cats,

37:19the dintly lions tonight against Penn State. Go cats. So I guess the- Also cats. That's right, cats, fish bay, a little bit later on today too. Yeah, big day. I imagine he's probably going tonight. But no Kevin Warren, part of the meeting, Leila. No George McCasky, part of the meeting. And- Oh, you mean the guy saying the sole focus part? Where do you get to say? I like your gesture there. Oh, no. I was just going to say that that's sort of what we latched on to when we talked about the story that Kevin Warren wasn't there. And apparently he hasn't been around for three months in terms of being a key part to the stadium. The phrase when the governor says all the right players are at the table. And the players don't include the team owner. And then the president of the team. And instead includes the one- the one board member who's not in the McCasky family.

38:20Who does indeed know how to run a stadium project. Yeah. And then also includes the NFL commissioners. Is that not a son to moment? And I love it. Like that is shade upon shade. Yeah, but this is- If your job is to be part of- is to help get the team a stadium. And that is the phrase that we used by the entity you want to get money and help from. And when people say, oh, they're not asking for state money. They are. When you ask for tax break, that's- that's what that is. So don't- don't- don't parse the words here. They're asking for help from the state. So therefore, that is not how you want to be talked about if you're not at that table. I do- my biggest takeaway though is good for the Bears. Good for whoever made the decision to put Pat Ryan in a forward spot to-

39:22I don't know if he's like running this thing now. He should. But the fact that they have allowed this to occur and that it has been made public, I think is good. I think it's good. And we can critique Kevin Warren all we want, but all I'm looking for is for them to adjust and to allow this thing to go forward. And whatever direction forward is going to go. I do think there needs to be some accountability held here. Because- Like Kevin Warren should be punished or- No, just that people should be held accountable. Well, hasn't he been- I mean, we- We've been slamming him every chance we get. So I- I don't slam Kevin Warren on everything. But I do- Not but on the stadium is what I'm saying. Has he not been held- He's been held accountable every day. But I do think that this makes me look differently at any Bears messaging that comes from Kevin Warren and George McCasky. Even more so than it already did. When we devote time and effort and you guys devote calls and time to talking about how the Bears quote, soul focus and quote-

40:22Was Indiana when the whole time- Whole time they're talking to the state of Illinois politicians and even acknowledge it that day. Sure. And then on the other side of it, Mike Bronze out here saying, welcome to Indiana. And now all the right players are at the table to get a- To get a stadium deal done at the place where they bought the land. Yeah. Well, I think it was interesting too. We got to break it. We'll get to Adam Hogue who actually wrote a whole story on the stadium. So we could definitely ask him about it. If that's part of it with Hogue here in just a second. But as it was put with the writer of the story this morning that- And this is correct because I've heard the same thing that Pritzker has never been the biggest impediment to the Bears. So it's the state legislature that is being strong if you want to look at it that way- It was the state senator's out of Chicago, yes. Exactly. Yeah. And then- Pritzker wanted that build to pass. And there is an election coming up too. I can't in case people don't know. And five weeks down the road. So how crazy does anybody want to get when it comes to political season here?

41:24Let's bring in Adam Hogue next. We will talk about the Bears and Jets. Like I said, he wrote a whole story for CHGO about the stadium situation as well. As we bring in Adam next here on Rahimi and Grody on 1043, the score. The ocean moves us. Whether that's surfing a wave or taking in an inspiring view. The ocean feeds us.
