Mark Grote 0:23
Dylan Thienemann has just gone from 3.5 bears to 6.3 bears. That's a big jump right there. How many bears? I love the spirit of this, that a bunch of guys, most of whom are not from Chicago, are like, let's get down with the chicagones they're getting indoctrinated let's get into it um so the fact that they are embracing chicagones um with the malort i'm gonna give them 7.1 bears it could have been more if tommy i heard it the haw brought up the old style the old style was rejected right off the top there i I didn't like the way he skimmed past the old style. Or it could have been more Bears. But 7.1 Bears for the Malort and the Cubs as a collective.
Mark Grody 1:07
How many Bears? I said it was going to be controversial. On 104.3 The Score.
Leila Rahimi 1:15
You know that music. That is Mark Grody's music. He's walking through the tunnel right now. And that tunnel leads us to bears. How many bears? Mark Grody is here. You are the arbiter of bears. Are you ready to judge?
Mark Grote 1:28
I am ready for the latest entries into how many bears. Yes, we are. We are ready over here.
Leila Rahimi 1:36
Let's start with the one thing that brought everybody together over a very heated crosstown weekend. And that is that Green Bay sucks. Nico Horner was asked on Spiegel and Holmes about the Green Bay sucks chance and having to explain them to Cubs first base coach, Jose Javier.
Unknown 1:56
Are you aware now that Green Bay sucks? Were you aware before the chance and are you aware now?
Nico Horner 2:02
I have a good one on that actually. It was great over the weekend obviously. A moment of unity among everyone there and then it broke out yesterday too of course and during a pitching change and I was at first base and Our first base coach, Jose Javier, is Dominican and not the most in tune with football. And he said, what is this chant? And I had to explain to him what the chant was and then also explain who the Packers were and why they're rivals with the Bears and who is good in that rivalry. And it was an interesting line of questioning.
Mark Grote 2:36
As I heard that, I heard it in real time, had my earbuds in, there I am walking on State Street. I had to go to Target, had to buy some bedding. How detailed do you want me to get on this walk? What color? Yeah. Yeah. You were out here pedestrianing. Yes, I was. I was pedestrianing. Did you get a new throw? I did, yes.
Leila Rahimi 3:01
It seems like a lot to carry back to your place.
Mark Grote 3:03
It was a lot. And I also grabbed a 12er of Sprite. So I was like, I felt. You're a madman. I was windy. And you called me during my walk, actually.
Leila Rahimi 3:12
Oh, you did? That was the walk. You tried to answer the phone during that.
Unknown 3:17
He did answer the phone. We had like a five-minute conversation.
Mark Grote 3:19
We did. I even told Ray, I said, if you hear the winds whipping around and droplets of rain, that's why. And Ray's like, well, I'm outside too. So I'm listening, and I'm just getting goosebumps. I'm getting goosebumps listening to Nico Horner because I'm like, my goodness. He has, from Once Upon a Time being a first-round pick, what, back in 2017? Yeah. with the Chicago Cubs, I believe. He was in the same draft as Bryce Terang, actually.
Leila Rahimi 3:44
How dare you?
Mark Grote 3:45
I know, I know. What did I just do? Take a bear away from me now. And I'm thinking, wow, he has just grown up so much. He is so Chicago now. The fact that he has expertise and he has ownership of of the Bears, and to be able to explain to Jose Javier not only what that is and the why, who the Bears are, what the rivalry means, what the rivalry is about. I love that Nico Horner is enthused about that and has that ownership and that command of the situation. How many Bears? That is a 7.7 Bears right there. Right there for Nico Horner for just being one of us. Ray, never call me again when I'm on my walk. Thank you.
Leila Rahimi 4:27
Sorry, sir. I should have offered to lug your stuff for you. What about the fact that Nico's on our station every week?
