Adam Hogue joins us on Fridays during the football season, and this is the last official, official Adam Hogue visit, isn't it, Ray?
That's correct. That's correct. We're going to wrap up our season with Adam Hogue.
I don't like all these goodbyes, especially the beginning year, the calendar year.
But you know what? We've gotten an extended run because we've gotten playoff Bears football.
It's the end of beginnings. It's the end of beginnings. It's that one song, right?
You've been back in Chicago.
Yeah, it is because it is the end of a great beginning, hopefully to something we're going to be seeing for decades. I don't know if that's the spirit of the song, but I just made it that.
I think I like it. Bears. Amen.
I like that you're spirited.
I would also like to offer this thought, by the way, is that in the words Lawrence and I were talking about the yearly content drought that happens between... Because let's face it, we're filling four and a half hours here. Between... football season ending for your local team, a.k.a. Bears, and then whatever happens coming up next, whether it's the winter meetings or it's the owners' meetings. Bulls. Well, yes, but we typically don't talk about bulls for four and a half hours. The data would indicate that might not be our best choice, especially when at that point the show is longer than the game by almost double. But point being... We got ourselves a bridge built thanks to the Bears playoff run. Lawrence quoted Dan McNeil and said the Bears built us a bridge to get through that content drought.
Love can also build a bridge. Between your heart and mine.
And Dan has a book out, I Bear Witness.
So there's also that. It's a hell of a book. Love can build a bridge. Don't you think it's time? Don't you think it's time? What is that song? It's a song.
It's the Judds.
What is that song?
It's a song. Wynonna and why can't I think of... Here come the Judds! Naomi and Wynonna. Isn't it?
So funny. That sounds about right. I just know it's a song because I'm from Alabama and people used to sing it in Alabama.
They definitely used to sing it. The Judds were very, very popular for a very long time. I'm pretty sure that was one of those time life ads where you would see like all the songs scroll rapid fire across the TV with the ad.
What are the key priorities for the Bears' offseason?
Back in the day. Somewhere Kenny Loggins is singing a song just because.
Same time period as like the Columbia House, a penny for, you know, 18 albums or whatever it was.
Oh, yeah. And for the parental generation at the time, it was Time Life. But for us, it was the Columbia House, get all the CDs or cassettes.
We have a request to talk Blackhawks hockey. I just want to let you know that. Yeah, in terms of the content drought.
They're trying to help Lawrence and Layla out with content.
Also, I would like to take this time as we wait on Adam Hogue to bring up some of the texts that we've gotten because we had a lot of good audience participation. Like, for example, 847, the pleasant surprise on the offense is the amount of sacks taken. You're not wrong.
That's what, third fewest, I believe, in football is what they ended up with?
847 said it was Aikman in the Washington game. I believe it was both. I believe people took issue with both. And that was something that we reviewed as a team.
Oh, but that was right. That's true, though. That's where he was. I think the texter is right, because I had said it was where Troy was talking about
Caleb needing to lead his receivers better to give them an opportunity to make a play after the catch right was it the Washington game yes is that right yeah okay that's because that's also when we find out he did not meet with Troy but then we found out later he didn't meet with Troy before either of the Monday night football games and typically you do talk to announcers before every game that's standard operating procedure in the NFL even Tom Brady would meet with announcers so before you think that's some weird expectation on media it's pretty much just the name of how that goes that's just part of the issue
