Welcome back to the Compound Podcast. This is episode 292. 292 of the Compound Podcast presented by our friends at Parse Rum. Go to Binnie's. Get your Parse.
What was the significance of Alex Bregman's signing for the Cubs?
Everybody in Chicago could have had a whole bottle of Parse last night. What a day for the city. What a day for the city.
Real quick about Parse before you poop on me. My grandma today, who doesn't drink, was asking me. She loves this podcast. She doesn't drink, but she's like, where can I go buy that parsley? I just want to buy the parsley and take a picture with it. I was like, I don't know if they really sell it around here, Grandma. I go, also, what would you do with it? She's like, I would just pour it out. I was like, you want to buy parsley rum to take a picture? With it and then just pour it out. She's like, yeah. I was like, I'll see what I can do for you. More people should do that. More people should do that.
I was like, I want you to just send in a picture. You know, we'll just, we can just post the picture without the par se. We'll make, we can make an exception for your grandmother. Yeah.
I was like, you can give the bottle to me. You don't, you don't have to pour it out. I will drink it.
If you want to go get a bottle of binnies, go get into binnies. And then instead of pouring it out, gift it to a friend. There we go.
Honestly, we don't care. Once you buy it, do whatever you want with it. If you want to pour it out, pour it out. Your choice. A sale is a sale.
It was a monumental day in Chicago yesterday. It was. Blackhawks won and the Bulls won, which was really the headliner.
Yeah, that's what everyone was thinking.
Cubbies sign Alex Bregman and the Bears have an all-time record. all-time playoff comeback win against the Packers.
Well, that was the best part, is it went from, like, Bears were down, I think, like, 21-6, and then it's like the news broke of Bregman signing, and then the Bears come back and win, and then, like you said, Bulls and Blackhawks win. It's like... What a day for the city.
What a day. I'm headed up there next week. It's going to be absolutely electric for Cubs Con. The city's going to be buzzing with the Bears having another home playoff game next weekend.
Did you hear Zach told me today I had to be the mayor or something? For the whole city of Chicago, maybe Tom would know, Ubers were free on Saturday night. However they set it up, you could Uber for free.
I believe the Bears paid for it. The Bears paid for it. From the stadium. I saw something about it. I didn't fully look into it. It was a $480 ticket to get in. So that was the minimum price on SeatGeek. So I wasn't going. I opted out.
Still, cool thing for them to do, though, of like, hey, this is sick. Like, we haven't done this in a while. Everyone get home safe.
I think it's one of my favorite parts about moving and getting to experience different parts of America is growing up in New York, you don't get to ever really experience this because we have multiple sports teams. So there's never a time where the entire city gets behind one team. The entire city loves the Bears. This is a football town, I would say. Just from my experiences covering it a little bit with Marquee, getting to experience some of that was really cool. I mean, this has been a season of destiny for the Bears. And the fact that when the first half was happening, I was like, this is the most classic Bears comeback of all time. It's setting up so well for the Bears comeback. And then there you go, the second half, Bears comeback.
Ian's got the sweatshirt on now. Dakota said he's not upset. We had a long discussion before the show. He said he's not upset, but he said next week if the Bears win, that's going to be the thing that'll upset him.
