Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?

2.41 - 25.271 Unknown

The views and opinions of Layla Rahimi, Marshall Harris, and Mark Grody should not be taken too seriously. Especially when they give advice. Do not take Marshall's analogies literally. Especially when it comes to Russell Dorsey. The sports thoughts of Rahimi, Harris, and Grody may change at any time. It's just sports. Okay, thanks, bye. Rahimi Harrison-Grody. 10-2 on 104.3 The Score.

25.631 - 28.215 Unknown

Where should the Bears build their new stadium and why?

0

28.315 - 31.699 Mark Grody

We stay on the phones. Mario and Hyde Park. You're on Rahimi Harrison-Grody.

0

31.88 - 43.895 Unknown

What up, Mario? Bears, take a breath. Relax. It's not your property in Arlington Heights. Calm. So you know what to do. Everybody stay calm. What's the procedure, everyone? What's the procedure? Stay f***ing calm. Wait, wait, wait.

0

43.915 - 44.736 Ian Happ

Everybody just f***ing calm down.

Chapter 2: What should we know about the Bears' new stadium plans?

44.716 - 45.878 Ian Happ

I don't care anymore.

0

46.158 - 60.342 Leila Rahimi

Build it on the South Lot. Stay in Chicago. I've been saying from the beginning, they aren't going anyplace. I've said it. I don't think they're going anyplace. I don't think they're ever going to Arlington Heights. I know they're not going to Flag Heap or whatever the hell that place is called in any way.

0

60.362 - 74.199 Unknown

I have two words for you. Slag heap. There was one call that's been online that had a suggestion for where the Bears should build their stadium, and it's unlike anything I've heard on this show. John in Naperville is on the line to tell us. What's up? What's your idea, John?

0

74.299 - 85.532 Ian Happ

So here's my idea. It kills two big issues that we see. We're talking about currently right now. One, keeping the Bears in Illinois, but also the number of gun arrests at Topgolf Naperville.

0

85.852 - 91.058 Unknown

Build it there. Just as I'm walking out of the store, I run right into a purse snatcher. Oh, no.

91.038 - 93.324 Ian Happ

I had to make the arrest with a squirt gun.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of the Bears staying in Chicago?

93.344 - 102.579 Ian Happ

Is that on top of the Topgolf or next to the Topgolf? Oh, let's just blow up the Topgolf completely. So here's what we're going to do. We're going to blow this up.

0

102.599 - 117.916 Unknown

Blow it up. Yep. How did I live this long? That's a terrible idea. Well, when a bad idea is the only idea, it becomes a great idea. Totally unarmed to the top golf and hit over there. But yeah, I'd love to see the Bears go in there. And it's only like 10 minutes from my house.

0

117.936 - 119.418 Leila Rahimi

It's basically the perfect plan.

0

Chapter 4: How do fans feel about the Bears' stadium situation?

120.479 - 129.769 Leila Rahimi

Layla Rahimi, Marshall Harris, Mark Grody. Midday's 10 a.m. to 2 on Chicago Sports Radio. 104.3 The Score.

0

132.365 - 137.093 Mark Grody

Where in the hell did you get the slag heap line from?

0

137.113 - 145.607 Unknown

So I'm looking at it now, and it's from House of Cards, season five, episode two. You've got to be kidding me. That actually tracks. That actually tracks.

0

145.647 - 149.293 Mark Grody

Turns out the one member of the cast, you know, kind of fits the bill.

0

149.813 - 163.681 Unknown

No doubt. I watched that entire show. I don't remember the Slag Heap reference, but I probably when the Slag Heap reference hit me, I probably had no idea what it was. It was not until it became a Bears adjacent term that I knew what a Slag Heap was.

163.721 - 181.93 Mark Grody

Also, guys, I have some. Well, it's good news, but it's bad in the world of entertainment. There was a headline from the Naperville Sun a couple days ago. After 46 arrests in two years, no gun-related incidents at Naperville Topgolf for six months.

182.77 - 186.854 Unknown

We go through this every year. Is it over? No, Layla. We go through this every year.

186.874 - 189.997 Mark Grody

I think it might be over. It sounds like some best practices were implemented.

190.017 - 190.258 Unknown

No.

Chapter 5: What insights does Ian Happ provide about the Cubs' performance?

1359.976 - 1382.014 Mark Grody

So for me, the difference is negligible, especially for only eight or nine guaranteed dates out of the year. It's what the Bears want to do. But when they decided to ask for help and 630 says, you're ridiculous for thinking it's that simple. Don't be stupid. It is that simple. Joe Mansueto, for example, is doing that. Tom Ricketts did that. It just costs a lot of money.

0

1382.656 - 1399.684 Mark Grody

That's how it's not easy for the Bears. But yes, it can be that simple. So if you want me to stop talking, this is a talk show. Find another station. In the meantime, let's listen to the rest of what Bill Cunningham, the guy who's actually in the room and in charge of some stuff, had to say.

0

1400.125 - 1434.088 Unknown

I would think if you were going to write a thesis about the best way. to interact in a legislative process, you would not point to the Bears' effort as a textbook case of how to do that from start to finish. As I said before, it's been frustrating dealing with the Bears, and I think it was because they never really grasped how unusual of a path they've chosen here of trying to move

0

1434.524 - 1461.46 Unknown

a professional franchise from one city to another within a state that is, to my knowledge, never been done via a subsidy or tax credit from the state government. So they picked a very unusual path, and I don't think they really grasped the complications that go along with that. Naive, Layla. Naivete, I think, ruled the day.

0

1461.821 - 1465.448 Mark Grody

These are grown men with whole ass jobs. It's not naivete.

1465.469 - 1465.889 Unknown

I'm sorry.

1466.05 - 1469.817 Mark Grody

Have you ever met a naive grown man? Because I have. I've met a lot of entitled ones.

1470.278 - 1490.896 Unknown

Yeah. Same. Same. I agree with that as well. It's not as simple as they wanted it to be. It's not a matter of strong-arming. This is about actual negotiating and getting what you want by giving the people what they want. And by the people, I mean the taxpayers, and by the taxpayers, I mean their representatives in the state legislature.

1491.397 - 1499.588 Unknown

That's how this looks for me as an outside observer, but someone who has obviously followed this story very closely since its inception.

Chapter 6: What experiences do the guests share about their first Cubs game?

4999.163 - 5015.314 Mark Grody

This is definitely sounding more like a drug and not like a Sasquatch. And then that's when she thought the whistling was her friend. But when a group of four was sitting around the campfire, they said they heard branches. Then they heard coyotes. Then they thought the coyotes must have heard what was making the noise.

0

5015.734 - 5032.482 Mark Grody

And that's when they said they heard really aggressive and rhythmic knocking, which they thought was a woodpecker. But no, they said they saw a figure on two legs and it was nine feet tall with blank reflective eyes. Is it just Wimby in the zone? He's only seven feet tall.

0

5032.502 - 5033.323 Unknown

He's only seven-four.

0

5033.703 - 5035.405 Mark Grody

But can you really tell at that point?

0

5036.686 - 5041.29 Unknown

I just... You know what? Can I withdraw my question and submit another?

5041.711 - 5042.011 Mark Grody

Yes.

5042.452 - 5045.094 Unknown

It's no longer... How high were they?

5045.835 - 5051.08 Mark Grody

Well, they said that when they went to chase after the one, they were circled by three or more creatures in the woods.

5052.641 - 5056.965 Unknown

And they lived to tell the tale. Nothing happened to them. Nine-foot creatures.

Chapter 7: How do the guests feel about their upcoming performances at the Cubs game?

5059.992 - 5064.058 Mark Grody

Cause if I were nine feet tall, I would do some damage. I'd be out here wrecking some stuff.

0

5064.359 - 5070.929 Unknown

The thunder could have used them. I would not. I'm a moniker for nonviolence. So I would just be like, please leave me alone.

0

5071.069 - 5085.332 Mark Grody

No, I'd be making some noise. I'd break off a tree branch or something, swinging around like a baseball bat. I would be an effective Sasquatch. But these Sasquatches just sound like they were just standing around doing nothing. Did they need beef jerky? Were they hungry?

0

5086.882 - 5092.149 Unknown

I think when you're nine feet tall and that big, you're always hungry, right? That would be my assumption.

0

5092.45 - 5110.675 Mark Grody

So now they all claim that they saw at least three Sasquatches. Sasquatches. I don't know how I feel about this, but it was at least worth a discussion. And frankly, if nothing more, it was good to get the messing with Sasquatch commercial out there again in the public for the people.

5111.336 - 5120.467 Unknown

I just, I don't even know. These stories make me think about things that, well, they're helpful distractions.

Chapter 8: What insights do they provide about the Illini football team's preparation?

5120.507 - 5131.048 Mark Grody

Do you think of the Dave Chappelle line from his character when he played Rick James? Cocaine is a powerful drug. I don't think they were on cocaine, for the record.

0

5131.489 - 5134.776 Unknown

Yeah. They might have been on the Aaron Rodgers plan. How about that?

0

5134.908 - 5139.213 Mark Grody

Ayahuasca and such. Yeah. I don't touch all that.

0

5139.774 - 5141.376 Unknown

Why not? Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

0

5141.596 - 5147.384 Mark Grody

I can't really handle caffeine and alcohol well. I know my limits as a person.

5147.985 - 5169.736 Unknown

Someone said 773. That wasn't Sasquatch. It was Chad Holmgren, Jalen Williams, and Isaiah Hardenstein. My only question is, which Jalen Williams? Because he spelled it different than both of those Jalen Williams spelled their names. So... Okay, 630, those kids were shroomed out of their minds. I can buy that. I can buy that.

5171.519 - 5174.626 Mark Grody

Yeah, that sounds a little more accurate, doesn't it?

5174.966 - 5180.017 Unknown

Yeah, like, come on, man. The way they're telling the story... Here's what I don't get.

5180.458 - 5204.264 Mark Grody

If you're going to take a psychedelic, why are you going to put yourself in a position of peril? Like, when you're impaired, do you really think it's a good idea to leave yourself up to not having all of your abilities to survive in nature? I don't really do nature, so I don't know. But this just seems like a bad idea. Like, you're putting yourself in a position to play with a disadvantage.
