What predictions does Grote make for the Bears' No. 25 pick?
This hour is brought to you by Jewel Osco. Welcome back in. Rahimi Harrison, Grody on 104.3 The Score. Happy Friday to everybody listening in the great, big, beautiful city of Chicago. Maybe you're heading out to the Cubs game. All sunshine and 80 degrees, and we will bring you Cubs baseball tomorrow. at 1245, right here on The Score. What a great night last night was right here in the hallways of The Score for a live episode of Take the North Live in our fancy Odyssey Blue Cross world. Blue Shield Studios. We had quantity, and we had quality, and we had energy popping last night, man. What a blast. So a big thank you, honestly. I got a lot of gratitude for the people that went out of their way to fill our performance studio last night.
What was your favorite moment of the two-hour broadcast with Dan Wiederer?
You know what was really cool, I thought? There were a lot of good moments. There were multiple father and son combinations hanging out, at least three of them, because we took pictures with them, and I invite them and hope that they will post the pictures that they took with us. Do you understand how important this is?
This is so important. You're getting one generation to hand down... To the next generation.
Yes, that's why it was so cool, man. It's like you got the younger kid that are listening to the podcast. Their dads probably listen to the score and to the podcast as well. But it was really cool to see those different generations of Bears fans in there. I will say that it was pretty cool to have Frank from Oak Park in the house last night. Regular caller here. on the score, so that was pretty neat.
Was there a soliloquy delivered?
There was a soliloquy delivered, yes. I like that.
I like getting what you expect out of people when you put them on the air.
Yeah, but no, it was just great. The energy was high, and I think Dan Weterer nailed it because it's the first time that we've done one of these shows, and I guess it's only the second one we've done. We started doing these last year where the energy was different because the Bears are coming off an 11-win season. So people are a little bit more positive and willing to express that energy instead of kind of sitting there with their arms folded and their fingers on their mouth just like, hmm, how are you going to convince me of this? Anything is possible with the Chicago Bears right now.
No, I think anything is possible in a good way, but also in a, hmm, questionable way because I think there are questions that need to be answered, mainly in this draft, Mark.
Yes. that's what's next yeah and i think the my overall point is last night um and maybe some of you heard it maybe some of you didn't the episode the take the north episode live is up and running right now wherever you find your podcast um and right now oh my goodness ray d is our executive producer as you can see on twitch right now if you're watching on twitch or youtube has just walked in with a thick soft cover book the beast it is the beast the fact that it's so funny You don't even get it like that. Dane Brugler, the beast. It is the draft guide. I didn't know there was a hard copy version of this. That is amazing, man.
How are lawmakers negotiating with the Bears regarding a new stadium?
Well, now if we have computer problems, we don't have to worry. We've got this book right here.
I love that. No, Ray's thinking in advance because we had a couple of... snafus last year during the draft.
We did. We had a hard time. Oh, and I should announce, too, that you're damn right Who's Your Guy will be back this year on the score. I've been told that Who's Your Guy will start on Monday.
That's right. It's going to start on Monday. As a matter of fact, after I explained – every year I kind of explain when I go and make the ask for Dane Bruegel to come on the show. I explain why we want him to come on the show, because we appreciate the beast and because we use – the beast all week for our who's your guy segment. So this time he sent one over and so he will also, uh, Dane Brugler will, uh, join the show after the draft. So we'll get to talk to him the Tuesday after the, uh, the draft.
