What humorous moments set the tone for this episode?
Say my name. Jesse! That got intense there, didn't it? Thanks to everybody who was a part of this show. It was a lot of fun today. Andrew Brand actually told us important information. It's always nice to go to school. Thanks to Clay Harvard. Thanks to Russell Dorsey. Thanks to Ray Diaz, Tyler Buterbaugh, Brandon Fryer, Connor O'Donnell, Jacob Stutz, Max Curtis, Cody Westerlin. Thanks to everybody who was a part of the show. Mark Grody, thanks to you for being here.
What important information did Andrew Brand share?
Oh, no. Thank you. How could you say thank you to me when I want to say thank you to you? Because I'm the one doing the most talking. How can I possibly be the man when you're the man? Exactly. That was a derivative. Thanks to Dave the cat. Oh, DTC. I know. He's so fluffy. Dave Meowthius? Dave Meowthius. Oh, my goodness. That would be the name of Matt Spiegel cat, I feel like. Hi, Matt. Hi, Lauren. Isn't River swimming back? Isn't that something that we were told during the... What did Ray tell us? Oh my gosh. That just made me think of that with Dave Matthews. Apparently. Meowthius. Meowthius. Dave Meowthius. Somebody's got to name your cat that now. People are swimming in the Chicago River again. Was that Ray? We got the, from Mayor Brandon Johnson.
Yeah, don't do that. Don't ever do that. He hasn't even gotten to the announcement yet. It's always weird when you're down like on the river walk and you see people in like the little single kayaks and it's the little rentals that are plastic and there's just like all the water in the world is just splashing all over them and you're like, that doesn't look clean. They don't know. You know what, Spiegel? It's a little thing that I call, that I invented. Out of town stupid. Little thing. You did invent that. No, no, you did, actually. Ray, you were saying. Then he invented Gawagie. Yeah, I invented Gawagie as well. Matt Miller did that. Spiegel steals all my stuff. I do steal all your stuff. I steal your hair care.
You know the birth of out of town stupid? Birth of out of town stupid was when Art Thiel of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer was on with McNeil and Boers and was laughing at them for the acquisition of Rick Meyer. He was laughing at them. Wow. And saying, I can't believe you guys got that guy. Like, did nobody do their homework? Right.
What cautionary advice was given about swimming in the Chicago River?
And I was like, are we out of town stupid on Rick Meyer? And the answer is yes. He's like, that dude on third and ten will have an open guy 12 yards downfield and throw at seven. Good luck with that guy. I've been hearing Michael McCaskey had something to do with that. Honestly, God. Really? Yeah. So you think that description just describes one former Bears quarterback, huh? No, there's a whole big pile of them, I think. It's really, it describes us as humans. We got to make sure that we're not out of town stupid when somebody comes here. What was the one Clay said? Same, worse, the same. Oh yeah, same, better, worse. Better, worse, the same. Ray, what was the swimming thing as we talked all over you? I saw the tweet from Alice Yin of the Tribune.
Mayor Brandon Johnson has announced the return of the annual Chicago River Swim. I've never done that once. Don't do that. That sounds awful. I'm here for a lot of Mayor Johnson's initiatives to get people to love the city. Don't swim in the river. Enjoy the river. Don't swim in the river. Enjoy the river. Walk the river. Take pictures of the river. Do not swim in the river. Take the taxi boat. That's cool. Architecture tour. It is. It feels neat. Take the architecture tour for sure. Everyone who's a resident should do it once a year. I agree. Don't swim in the river. What about once every 10 years? Because I finally went like last year. No, do it again next year. Who are we going to take? Was it Tevin Jenkins that we were going to take?
Oh, that'd be perfect. I think it was Tevin. Grossest guy. Oh, man. Hey, it's re-upped in Cleveland, man. Oh, it did? Tevin, yeah, got another one-year deal with the Cleveland Browns. I thought maybe the Jedrick Wills acquisition completes our exchange. He just talked, by the way. Jedrick Wills did? He was the first person to talk out of that.
