What questions do Bears fans have for this mailbag episode?
Bears fans, this is Take the North. What's the reason, Doc?
It's here.
With your hosts. All these guys. 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 back into the Take the North podcast along with Dan Weider of The Athletic. I am Mark Grody of 104.3 The Score. Daniel, we got another mailbag episode today, brother.
We got a whole new audience here today as well, Mark Grody. We've got the Hallmark movie watchers here to see us, and we've got a whole music contingent after our last mailbag episode. We do a lot. We're versatile like Kobe Bryant and Dylan Thienemann.
I want to know when our candle box merch will be arriving because I'm ready to just display that proudly. And we'll get your Creed hoodie. I'm sure that that's what you need since you did reveal on the last episode that you put Creed at about an eight on the 10 scale, which just blew me away.
I don't know that I went eight. I think it was like a five and a half or something somewhere around there. I just wasn't as appalled by them as you are. Can you take me? No, I'm sorry. I'm not going to do that again. I also had another song that I wanted to see if you knew or remembered. This would have probably been early 2000s. This was Limp Bizkit and Exhibit, a little tandem action here called Get Your Groove On. And now this is a song that in that era, you were trying to get fired up for like anything really, but for a night out.
I don't know if I remember that song. Maybe if I heard it, I would, but I will reveal I am a Closet Limp Bizkit fan.
Okay, so then this song is really going to do it for you. As soon as this episode is over, you go, you get into your Apple Music, your Amazon Music, wherever you need to go, get your groove on, Limp Bizkit and exhibit, and then maybe the next episode I'll share the lyric that I find the most hilarious from that song. It's not appropriate for work. NSFW, but yeah, give that a listen.
Maybe we'll also reveal what we did for the nookie at some point in time on one of these episodes. Did it all for the nookie. So you can take that cookie. And stick it up your Spazinski.
We don't got to finish that. We don't got to finish that one.
The thing is, we can't. It's so funny how we are.
There's a certain point, like you can only push it so far before you get flagged by YouTube.
Right, right. And you're right. And Limp Bizkit does offend a lot of people.
And by the way, I don't think you need to say you're a closet Limp Bizkit fan. You can just be a Limp Bizkit fan. I think that's fine.
I mean, I've made that clear on the score.
Give me something to break. Yeah.
They're very popular again right now. They were at Lollapalooza a couple years ago, weren't they? I know Korn was just there last year. I mean, there is something going on with that post-grunge era of songs right now. But anyway. I don't think Limp Bizkit ever went out of style. You might be right. I didn't know that you were also a Limp Bizkit guy.
Oh, hell yeah, man. Hey, look, look. Early 2000s music, it caught me. Some of it I was late to, but it caught me. I was very late just because, again, grunge killed me. Okay, we'll get to it here. We'll start off. We got two questions from our friend Extreme Mike. I'm not mistaken. He's sitting there drinking Mountain Dew and writing questions down. I'm Extreme Mike.
Extreme Mike is going to make a cameo before 2026 is over. We're going to bring him on and we're going to have an episode. He would be happy to join. And he is extreme.
Looking forward to it. Extreme Mike. Okay. So again, two questions here. We'll start with one on the offensive line. What are the odds? Logan Jones starts. How did he look at mini camp?
I remember when they drafted Logan Jones on many of the subsequent podcasts, I was making the case that why not Logan Jones?
