I love Tibbs. I do. I am pro Tibbs. But, you know, it very much was a breakup, and you know this, Nick.

Leila Rahimi 0:09

Oh, Layla, I am well versed in breakups.

Matt Spiegel 0:15

How do the hosts reflect on past sports transitions in Chicago?

Matt Spiegel 0:44

So, you know, he's good for that as well. Jacob Stutz, Max Curtis, and Connor O'Donnell. Transition. It's brought to you by Torque Coatings, high-performance coatings for your home or business. Torque, T-O-R-Q, coatings.com. Well, well, well, if it isn't Ryan McGuffey and Matt Spiegel after a little White Sox win the series after I didn't know what was going to happen for several innings when they were down 1-0. Look at that.

Ryan McGuffey 1:11

Yeah. Good to be back. Hi, Speaks. Hi, Guff. Yeah, man. They stole one yesterday. That was great. They did.

What is the current state of the White Sox and their recent performance?

Ryan McGuffey 1:19

This is a sports town in transition. I love it. Feeling that? Listen, I was talking about it yesterday. White Sox are in transition. Bulls optimism is a real thing. Speaks, do me a favor. Okay. Mentally in your head, flip the calendar back one year. That's where I do most of my mental stuff. Yes. Flip it back one year, though. The calendar? Think about where we were a year ago talking about all these teams. Cody Westerling came in and said the same thing.

What factors contribute to Bulls optimism this season?

Ryan McGuffey 1:43

A year ago, I was trying to convince Mark Eversley to take a flyer on Walter Clayton Jr. Okay? That's what was happening a year ago. A flyer was taken. But now we get to debate the very best players in the college basketball universe. I love that.

Leila Rahimi 2:00

It's pretty fun.

Ryan McGuffey 2:00

Do you have a preferred number four? I think you should be listening to the show for our first couple of segments, Marshall, if you're not busy. I'll probably be busy. That's a good time to do it. You know I listen on the Rewind app. Would you call it Bryson's vision? We're talking about that. Bryson's got to be pleased.

How does the conversation shift to player trades and extensions?

Ryan McGuffey 2:17

A God-fearing man. God is coming up big. Good day for God yesterday. Most Sundays usually are. It is his day. Well, Saturday's also pretty good from my perspective.

Marshall Harris 2:30

Sure. Tease.

Ryan McGuffey 2:32

The whole weekend. Happy Mother's Day to your mothers out there.

Marshall Harris 2:40

Appreciate you.

Ryan McGuffey 2:41

And all the mothers, wives, etc. It's quite a festive day. we're getting dangerously close to a farmio speech out of you aren't we to all my jewish friends drive home safely why did that happen i just want to know why did farmio wish the jewish friends a happy passover and tell them to drive home safely to drive home safely i mean the other is kind of self-explanatory because passover is about drinking ah i mean not only about drinking but there's a lot of drinking I mean, you kind of made it sound like it was about drinking.

What insights are shared about Jacob DeGrom's performance and future?

Ryan McGuffey 3:14

There's four prescribed glasses of wine during Passover. Is it prescribed? Yeah, it's like, and now you drink the fourth cup of wine. It says it in the book. Can you go over? Oh, yes.

3:24

Okay.

Ryan McGuffey 3:25

My people hit the pre-wine, the grape juice. Oh, yeah. So don't have the lingering effect that you're talking about. Oh, I understand. I understand. Guff and I both hit the group thread on Friday after the show because we both got exactly what we wanted from the baseball games, like immediately. Yeah. Within like an hour.

How do the hosts discuss communication in relationships?

Ryan McGuffey 3:42

Yeah. I was out there talking up Big Ben Brown as a starter for the Cubs rotation, and I got to crow about that. He was saying they should extend Munataka Murakami, so as soon as that homer happens, he's like, extend that man! I was like on Columbus and NBC Tower, like, extend the man! You weren't even on the highway yet.

Matt Spiegel 4:02

Guff was a block away.

Ryan McGuffey 4:03

I really was. It took me 30 minutes to get there.

Matt Spiegel 4:07

Do you really think that that... I hate... I just... I don't know, man. Don't do it. I don't even know if I'm ready to talk about it yet.

Ryan McGuffey 4:13

Talk about what?
