0

Ours did not irritate us today. They celebrated Terry. Thanks to everybody who was a part of the show. Thanks to everybody who called in. We appreciate you.

32.215 - 45.303 Marshall Harris

With that open you heard earlier, we wanted to play it again for you before the show ended. Brandon Fryer helped us out today. And thanks to our guests, Herm Edwards. I can't believe he came on again. He's great like that, isn't he?

0

45.623 - 46.664 Unknown

He was fantastic.

0

46.684 - 48.627 Marshall Harris

Bill Weddington, also wonderful.

Chapter 2: How did the hosts reflect on emotional moments from the weekend?

49.247 - 54.794 Marshall Harris

Thanks to Bill for coming on and Dan Weterer. And now we welcome Matt Spiegel and Anthony Heron. Hi, guys.

0

54.854 - 73.137 Matt Spiegel

Hello, good people. Yes. Ant Heron in today. Lawrence Holmes on vacation. He was at the Derrick Rose thing on Saturday night, as was Ant. So I look forward to talking about that. And yeah, it's interesting times around these parts. Very emotional weekend, obviously.

0

73.167 - 80.784 Marshall Harris

It was an emotional weekend. That's a good way of putting it. We replayed Derek Rose's comments to his brother, and I teared up all over again over that.

0

80.964 - 81.906 Matt Spiegel

Oh, my God.

0

Chapter 3: What impact did Terry Boers have on the sports radio community?

82.307 - 92.83 Matt Spiegel

That was the one that got me, where it was like, even as you were out there in the streets doing what you were doing, you were trying to keep me out of it. And his brother's crying. Like, oh, man, that moment was heavy.

0

93.08 - 110.143 Leila Rahimi

It's big for so many different people because of what he became and the effort of a lot of folks to get him there. And you just think how much it magnifies the intensity of the pressure he was under, the scrutiny that he was under from going from here in high school to a year in college.

0

110.123 - 131.606 Leila Rahimi

to the Bulls and everything that that organization represents in the city and to those of us who grew up in the 90s as huge Bulls fans. And then D. Rose. I was talking to my niece and nephew about this over the weekend when we dropped our son off, me and my wife, and we went to the went to the game, and my niece and nephew are both like right around 30.

0

132.067 - 152.365 Leila Rahimi

And so for them, D. Rose represents something similar, even though the franchise was, of course, not what the 90s Bulls were, but that D. Rose age bracket in that moment in time, like D. Rose is similar to them to what Michael Jordan is to me in just that pedestal that he's on for what he represents as success in basketball in this town.

0

152.385 - 162.862 Matt Spiegel

Hey, man, Joe, keep in mind, I said it a couple times, this is our championship. I mean, it kind of sits a little funky, to be honest with you. But I get what he's saying, and it's lovely.

162.882 - 164.565 Leila Rahimi

The fact of the matter is they didn't win it, right?

165.246 - 174.064 Matt Spiegel

And they were a wonderful team that had a really terrific relationship that has continued and a relationship with the city that has continued.

Chapter 4: How did the hosts share personal anecdotes about Terry Boers?

174.144 - 196.678 Matt Spiegel

So, yeah, no, I totally get it. But, like... Yeah, look, the Terry Boers news, I guess, broke on Friday afternoon. Lawrence and I and Tani and Alex, we were not aware until after the show. But I will say that a texter threw it out there at like 5, 10 p.m. And I was like, that can't be true, right? Mm-hmm.

0

196.658 - 222.903 Matt Spiegel

But it's sort of fitting that that's how I learned that Terry Boers had passed, is a random texter letting us know. Because what has been evident all weekend long is that we're not the only ones mourning. Like, the listeners are mourning. And I had people asking me on socials, like, I know I'm just a listener and I ain't nobody, but like, I'm sad. I'm like, are you kidding me? You are somebody.

0

222.943 - 224.846 Matt Spiegel

You are. You knew him.

0

Chapter 5: What discussions arose regarding D. Rose and his significance?

225.207 - 248.593 Matt Spiegel

That's the thing about our medium. You feel like you know us. And if you listen enough and we're around together. You do know us. Like, you knew Terry. And Terry loved them, which he had a lovely chance to make clear in the back part of his life and said so every chance he could. So it's been emotional like crazy.

0

248.633 - 268.304 Matt Spiegel

The score has never felt more like a weird-ass dysfunctional family in all of the good ways. And looking forward to tomorrow when we'll kind of be able to sort of process it all together. But we'll process it a little bit today during the show, as you guys did. It was lovely how you started. That open from Tyler was great.

0

268.344 - 277.154 Matt Spiegel

And your calls in the first couple segments, the way you guys all handled it in transition, it's been very heavy, and it's just kind of underpinning everything we do right now.

0

277.174 - 282.681 Leila Rahimi

Well, I'm looking forward to being able to help sort of process that with you.

0

Chapter 6: How did the hosts address the listeners' feelings of loss?

282.721 - 296.581 Leila Rahimi

And you referenced fans, listeners of this station, as I was, like the – The first time I spent multiple hours on this station years ago when Bernstein and Goff were together, and the first thing I said, I walk into the studio and it's Dan sitting there.

0

296.601 - 320.876 Leila Rahimi

The first thing I said to him was, man, listening to Boers and Bernstein, listening to you and Terry made me passionate about sports talk radio. Terry represents so much of that. for me as a young scorehead and then like years later getting to work at this station in this capacity as frequently as I do, Terry just having me in stitches as I'm driving around and say, yeah, you tell him Terry.

0

320.976 - 346.562 Leila Rahimi

And oh man, why didn't I think of it that way? And that combination of, of wit and, and snark that he represented and pulled off so well on the air for so many years. There's so many people who felt that while he was on the air. And I'm glad that once he got to the stage of his life where he wasn't on the air anymore, but he was able to soak that in and feel that from people. And honestly,

0

346.542 - 364.45 Leila Rahimi

I'm of a similar mind, a similar parallel with seeing D. Rose the other night. Like, oh, he's been able to soak this in and enjoy this in a different way than he could while he was here in the midst of his playing career. Like, he's not an elder who's retired in that way or anything, but his playing career is over and he's able to appreciate that.

0

364.43 - 367.416 Leila Rahimi

what that moment in time was for him and how he impacted people.

Chapter 7: What future plans do the hosts have for honoring Terry Boers?

367.457 - 376.937 Leila Rahimi

And it dovetails very nicely into thinking about the way that Terry was able to be back around it and appreciate the way that folks appreciated him so much.

0

377.913 - 396.563 Marshall Harris

Yeah, the thing is, and I said this earlier, people keep saying, I'm sorry for your loss. It's not just our loss. It's the listeners who texted us that. It's people who reach out to us. It's not just my loss.

0

396.543 - 401.31 Matt Spiegel

Yeah, I started saying condolences back to listeners when they were saying it to me, like, what are we doing here?

0

401.831 - 407.139 Marshall Harris

It's our loss, like our, not necessarily us at the score, that's for sure.

0

407.219 - 424.339 Matt Spiegel

And I was just talking to Ray Diaz, and Ray's like, I'm sorry for your loss. I'm like, I'm sorry for you. I was like, yeah, you know, I didn't know him real well, but I'm like... Ray, he's all over this place, right? I mean, there's the sign, but there's also just the impact on how we all do the job.

424.82 - 444.437 Matt Spiegel

I hear bits and pieces of him in your show, and you guys didn't cross over with him, but stuff comes through us and then comes through another show and then makes its way to your show through a producer. There is sound and weird-ass Terry Boer's peccadilloes

Chapter 8: What concluding thoughts did the hosts share about the legacy of Terry Boers?

444.417 - 450.931 Matt Spiegel

in every time slot of this station, and frankly, on stations throughout the country.

0

450.951 - 456.983 Marshall Harris

Yeah. It's that part. Terry Boers and Dan Bernstein inspired the station that I grew up listening to.

0

457.063 - 462.415 Matt Spiegel

Yeah, right? Well, see, there you go. And guess what? McNeil and Boers inspired that show.

0

462.455 - 462.595 Anthony Herron

Mm-hmm.

0

462.575 - 477.985 Matt Spiegel

Like McNeil and Bors inspired, I believe that show ended up being like the bedrock of the sound of this place. And Burnsy heard that and knew that and was their Bears reporter.

477.965 - 499.686 Matt Spiegel

but burnsy was their mark grody or their chris emma that that that's what burnsy was and then eventually gets to work with terry and he's like well i'm gonna do it this way and it becomes that but you know we'll deal with it tomorrow like those two shows really set the foundation for this business in a lot of ways so crazy yeah yeah and the man left on his own terms nobody gets to do that

499.666 - 503.132 Anthony Herron

Literally nobody.

503.954 - 527.956 Matt Spiegel

Who says, you know what? I'm done. I have not. That's not how it's gone for any of us. Nor shall it. But, you know. But it's been crazy. We're going to do... We're going to do some phone calls in the 5 o'clock hour and dedicate that hour along the way. So listeners know that. Between now and then, we're going to do a lot of football. We're going to do some D-Rose.

527.976 - 547.915 Matt Spiegel

We're going to do a regular show. But then in the 5 o'clock hour, we'll... lean into a little bit. And then tomorrow, man, I got to tell you, the conversations that have been going on among colleagues, former colleagues, big hitters at other networks who are choosing to come on,
