Rahimi 0:54

How many bears? I said it was going to be controversial. On 104.3 The Score.

Mark Grote 1:01

You know that man's music.

What rating does Dylan Thieneman receive on the bear scale?

Mark Grote 1:03

Sometimes it gets mistaken for Anthony Rizzo's music. Sometimes it's the same music, but the point is this is Mark's. Steve Aoki, how many bears? I carry them in my notebook. Mark gave me eight and a half bears when I made it to 10 years in this city, and it is something that I carry around proudly. Proudly.

Rahimi 1:22

And what did I tell you during the break? It comes with a lot of responsibility to be given 8.5. Like what? Just act accordingly. You know what she does? You know what she does that is very strong? A lot of Juul. A lot of Juul in her life.

Mark Grote 1:35

I do love the Juul.

What factors influence the bear ratings given?

Mark Grote 1:36

And for big days, the Juul taco dip.

Rahimi 1:38

Oh, yeah. And you live near a jewel, too.

Mark Grote 1:42

I do. That's handy.

Rahimi 1:43

So just stuff like that, Marshall. I live near a jewel.

Mark Grote 1:46

And I say the word Des Plains in relation to the jewels. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. We'll continue to... I love Aurelios.

Rahimi 1:53

Yeah, there's a lot of... Because every year it gets re-evaluated. You might lose a point.

Mark Grote 1:58

Oh, no. Yeah, just like you did with Jack Sanborn unnecessarily.

Rahimi 2:01

Well, he could have been better.

Mark Grote 2:02

So... If you heard the open, we said that Dylan Thieneman was originally awarded three bears, you said, for just being here, being a first round pick.

Rahimi 2:11

Yeah, three. It was a three and a half. Well, here's the problem.

Mark Grote 2:14

It's all out the window now.

Rahimi 2:16

Yeah.

Mark Grote 2:16

Because we get the information. coming across the internets of dylan thenaman and his family all dressed in bears gear this was incredible in 2006 they are all wearing a brian urlacher jersey except for the littlest thenaman she has a bears cheerleader uniform oh baby and there's two dogs in the picture so she's a honey bear Well, I guess. Can that happen? That's throwback.

Marshall Harris 2:48

That's nostalgia.

Mark Grote 2:49

I mean, or, you know, at least.

How does the history with Brian Urlacher affect bear ratings?

Marshall Harris 2:51

Let me get my girl Cheryl on the phone.

Mark Grote 2:53

Thank you. Yeah. Cheryl Burton can judge that for us. That's inappropriate. Cheryl Burton. How many bears does Cheryl Burton get?

Rahimi 3:00

She's been here a long time, man. I mean, that's got to be like... And one of the last Honey Bears. Nine-ish. Yeah, Honey Bear. I mean, she has been rocking ABC7 forever. So I'll just off the top of my head, I'll give her nine bears here. I think she's going to end up with a higher score than that. Well, she could. She could.

Mark Grote 3:16

We got a lot of really high bear anchors, I feel like, in town.

Rahimi 3:20

Absolutely.

Mark Grote 3:21

Like Don Hosbrook, too. John deserves bears. The Honey Bear thing, though, man.

Rahimi 3:25

That is... You're right. That could... Let's just give her nine plus. How about that?

Mark Grote 3:29

Love it. So that was just a warm-up. But when you see the Dylan Thienemann picture, and you put your bear's hat on, put your bear head on, how many bears does Dylan Thienemann and his family get?

Rahimi 3:42

I'm just going to my files here right now. Thienemann did get 3.5 bears initially. Keep in mind.

What are the implications of changing bear ratings?

Rahimi 3:47

That was the initial, the 8.5 for Layla. The first blush. Let me give you a little... This is what the judges, me, are discussing backstage right now, and that is that my history with Erlacher is... Brian Erlacher might be my favorite Bears player of all time, and I'm a kid of the 80s, so like... I lived through the 85 Bears, but love Erlacher. He's the only player that prompted me to call the score one time before I was here. I was kind of here, but I was mostly working downstate. And it was like Erlacher's first year was a Bears-Vikings game, and I called Buffon an OB because I was just like, I want to talk about this guy.
