Don't be thick.

Don't be getting chills, man.

That is over.

Good, better, best.

No more of that stuff.

A lot of great layers to that.

And some of the things I was thinking as I was listening to that, him saying when he had his family downtown and he's kind of become...

a celebrity as justifiable.

I remember in the preseason seeing him at a Cubs game and he was just Ben from the block.

Nobody really... A couple people knew who he was and now he can't... And it feels like...

He is because, as you and I both know, being in this town our whole lives and all sports, some guys can take the glow of Chicago and some cannot.

I think he is.

And the word wired was used throughout that great conversation you had with him just now.

He is wired correctly to be a Chicago sports star.

yeah well it's funny yeah because you mentioned it the anonymity is gone now right like you you're out in public and people know that you're the guy from the videos that's ripping your shirt off and telling everybody to get better and then get best you know and so that's a real thing now for ben that he's got to navigate and he will he'll be he'll be fine with that the other thing that i i noted and and you talk about the wiring

He brings up week one of last season.

He brings up his first game as bears coach.

He brings up a Monday night loss to the Vikings.

And he brings it up in a way where it's, you can tell it's still there that he's never going to just put that in a back bin and push it away.

He was booed, right?
