What are listeners saying about the Bears’ stadium saga at the start of the show?
Amy, Harrison, Grody. Wow.
No playoff baseball in Chicago is what Rob Parker says.
Man, we got things to talk about, Rob. I love it. It's like a hit and run. Now you gotta go. We know we've we've been told you have more important things to do with your life. We gotta
go to MLB Network and Bash or some other cities, okay?
Middays
ten
to two.
Equal opportunity matcher. I love that. On
1043, the score. We will be the Chicago Bears, whether we're in Arlington or whether we're in. You've got a bear down on a daily basis.
Well, at least we got the imaginary news taken care of that it's not changing.
Indiana Bears.
So we got that going for us, which is nice. Three one two six forty four sixty-seven sixty-seven. We kick it off with the mayor. Mario and Hyde Park. You're on the score.
Hey, Le did you say the mayor?
Yeah, why not?
Congrats, Bent Mario. Oh Lord, not you two.
Why not?
It's a long story. One day I'll explain it. Anyway You're a mayor.
You're a mayor of our show and you represent Hyde Park.
Maybe he ran for mayor and and failed. Is that Mario says there's a real sort? You've hit a sensitive spot, Layla. I don't I just
thought it was a compliment to your representing your place. No, no,
no, no, no. I I I I appreciate it. But you don't understand what you just did. You have made a a very bad thing that people love worse.
Oh no, oh no,
now just look
what you did.
I do that. I walk into the truth sometimes. I'm sorry.
I'm glad you said it. Thank you. First of all, hey Mark. First of all, there's um You know who else can see around corners? Batman. Batman can see around corners.
How does the discussion about the mayor and Hyde Park relate to the stadium debate?
What is I can he can see around corners? That's why I hired man listen. Moving forward Everybody should respect the fact that Kevin Warren works at the behest of George McCaskey. The reason why they haven't presented anything to the state of Illinois is because of George McCaskey. The reason why they're having this imaginary conversation with a state that can't shoot straight is because of George McCaskey. The reason why they don't like bare weather all of a sudden when they've embraced bare weather to the point of marketing themselves as a team that plays in bare weather is because of George McCaskey. We can cut to the chase today. They're not leaving. Don't know what they're gonna do and where they're gonna play, but they better extend their lease in Soldier Field, because they're not going anywhere.
They can't figure it out with the state. They're not gonna be able to figure it out with Indiana. Because Indiana can't figure out Indiana. They don't know if they're gonna play in Hammond. They don't know if they're gonna be in Wolf Lake. This is By far. the luckiest and stupidest franchise in the history of Chicago sports. And I'll tell you why they're lucky. They're as lucky. for having Ben Johnson as the Bulls were for Portland not drafting Michael Ford. They're the luckiest and stupidest franchise. And the reason why they're stupid, they own a lot of land that they can put Wally world on if they wanted to, but they don't want to do it because they want to continue to play this game and Layla, I don't know, go.
You are correct. This is the dumbest uh display of leverage ever. Again, Batman can see around corners, a baby can see around the corner, a garbage man can see around the corner. That's so this is so stupid.
That it is, Mario. That it is. We appreciate your call. And you
drafted Sam Bowie, though.
Uh
Mario.
Mario is Mario's left the building. Uh we didn't play recorder bare down, which we were supposed to do. No, I hate that.
I heard you guys playing that the other day. You
just like badly execute you don't like badly executed songs. No, you're right. You don't like the warble from the from the national anthem? No, you're right, you're right.
Oh
no.
Nope, that's just sound awesome.
What we deserve. Ugh if we say
that
I do.
Ugh.
It's so it's so You have
better immunity than I do.
Yeah, I also harass you with the warble every now and then. Yeah
No, stop her.
Why do callers blame George McCaskey and the state for the stalled stadium plan?
Okay.
We'll continue on the phones. Three one two six forty four sixty seven sixty seven. Let's go to the site where the bear zone land, but nothing's happening there.
