We'll be able to head out to lunch well before noon.

Caleb's timeline has changed the eating habits of a handful of people in that room right now.

So there's going to be some angry people when that presser begins because they're going to be hungry and feeling that hanger that I know from the walls of my house very well.

Hopefully we don't have to postpone it.

Oh, my God.

Because I'm camping out here.

Dan Wiederer.

The whole key to sustaining success in this league is to have a quarterback play that is top tier and can consistently push you down those roads.

And Mark Grody.

We're allowed to at this point.

Bears fans are allowed to right now dream big and predict what you want out of the season.

We're going to take the North and never give it back.

Hello again, everybody, and welcome in to the Take the North podcast along with Mr. I-L-L-I-N-I, Dan Weider of The Athletic, freshly returned from the owner's meetings in Phoenix, Arizona.

And if you're watching on video, popping up and showing off all of his orangeness, I am Mark Rohde of 104.3 The Score.

Dan and I finally back together in the great, big, beautiful city of Chicago.

And this is going to be a very special edition of Listen to This.

We are going to hear from several people that Dan spoke to at the owner's meeting, including Robert Sala on Caleb Williams.

We'll hear from Ryan Poles, Kevin Warren, Ben Johnson, all sorts of good stuff.

But, Dan, how are you?

Look at this guy.
