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

2.427 - 17.365 Layla Rahimi

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.

Cam Jordan, if you were into the idea of the Bears potentially signing some veteran help at the edge position, you could take who I thought was easily the best candidate for the Bears to bring in in terms of his production, in terms of his consistency health-wise. This guy does not miss many games, this Cam Jordan. He is off the board. There are still some players on the board.

49.999 - 74.758 Marshall Harris

Where is everyone? I have accepted, Mark, and I think I need you to come jump on this with me. It is what it is. It's going to be what it's going to be. Because at the end of the day, the day has to end. And that's where we are with the front for the Chicago Bears. What they have in-house. We have Cam Jordan at home. We have Hasan Reddick at home. We have... Dio.

75.479 - 85.913 Mark Grote

You guys could maybe spend the 8 o'clock hour going through every splash play you've seen from Dio or Dengbo. You'd probably be done by 8.02. You gotta watch the tape. You gotta see how we affect the game, man. Come on.

86.554 - 93.984 Marshall Harris

I need somebody to get to the quarterback. Can you or can you not get to the quarterback? We're gonna find out. But are you on board with me, though? And just the resignation factor?

94.064 - 109.406 Mark Grote

Probably. I mean, I'm not saying that there won't be somebody signed or there won't be extra bodies in training camp, but nobody whose name we know. No one you just named. You know what? As a matter of fact, speaking of not knowing names... It's good to have fun with names. It's a hilarious exercise we did on the Take the North podcast on the episode.

109.426 - 125.231 Mark Grote

I think that's up and running right now, as a matter of fact. Take the North. It's a Bears podcast. It's called Bears Player or Chicago Alderman because you have this roster with like 75 to 100 names. It's pretty tricky. It's pretty tricky. Even I got tricked up.

125.872 - 129.297

During what months of pregnancy does a woman begin to look pregnant?

Chapter 2: What signs of life are emerging in the Cubs' offense?

880.231 - 889.448 Mark Grote

Yeah. You want to get toasted? Well, no. I'm saying that's... I think toasting has a bad connotation outside of actual toast. Microwave is powerful, Marshall. Yeah, man. Power up. The microwave situation...

890.12 - 892.784 Marshall Harris

I'd rather be like the AI chip or something. I don't know.

0

892.904 - 898.272 Mark Grote

It wasn't me. Grody, you like to stir things up. I am not the one that messed up.

0

898.292 - 906.805 Layla Rahimi

I am not the one that went... Pop-Tart in the microwave sounds sacrilege.

906.825 - 919.924 Mark Grote

We've invited Les Grobstein into the Cubs. See what happens when the Cubs score seven runs. Do you see how everything changes around here for a day? We're a little bit giddy. We're a little bit ridiculous right now. Anything's possible!

921.895 - 933.542 Marshall Harris

That's right. They scored seven runs in one inning. That is good. Yeah. They scored eight runs in a game. That is also good. Yes. A little bit concerned about the way they were watching that lead get smaller and smaller.

933.843 - 953.651 Mark Grote

I did consider bad things late in that game when it got... Well, obviously when Jacob Webb... We were both wrong on closer. Jacob Webb was the closer. I was like, of course, Jacob Webb. Jacob Webb definitely deserved a shot at being the closer. And he looks like a closer. So I hope things work out for Jacob Webb.

Chapter 3: How did Dansby Swanson's performance impact the Cubs' win?

954.012 - 967.343 Mark Grote

But old Kyle Karros comes in, hits a home run. It's 8-6 at that point. And I'm like... These games have been ridiculous, and winning is really hard for the Cubs, but they were able to do it. It did get freaky towards the end, I admit that.

968.369 - 977.9 Marshall Harris

Kyle Karros took him deep. And I was like, wait, Kyle Karros is in Eric's kid? Yes, Eric Karros' kid. Again, do you know who that is, Ray? Eric Karros.

0

977.94 - 980.223 Mark Grote

Yeah, please tell us you know who Eric Karros is. Yes? Yes.

0

980.543 - 985.409 Marshall Harris

Okay, so he played for the Cubs. Well, I'm just trying to make sure. You were talking about knowledge, old.

0

985.449 - 1006.31 Mark Grote

Yeah, no, for all you youngsters out there, Eric Karros, known as a Dodger really more than anything, became a Cub. It was in 03, 04? Sounds right. He had his— Look it up. He had his recorder. He loved being in Chicago. He should actually get Bears. Eric Karros, if it wasn't so long ago, he would have because he loved being at Wrigley and loved the whole Chicago experience.

1006.33 - 1009.358 Marshall Harris

By the way, coming up at 1245, how many Bears?

1009.82 - 1014.77 Mark Grote

Yeah, we are doing how many Bears? We got good stuff. Including the new head coach of the Bulls might be getting bears.

1014.89 - 1029.713 Marshall Harris

I have a lot of questions, Grody, and I know we can continue this conversation about what this means now. When you know Daniel Palencia is not walking out of that tunnel for at least a couple of weeks, how are they going to get through, I don't know, better teams and get dubs?

1029.693 - 1046.6 Mark Grote

It's a great question, and I think that's where we should pick up the conversation here. Where do the Cubs go from here? A very mature-sounding Pete Crow Armstrong talking about just that. And we have to talk about Javier Saad and his performance last night.
