What noise did the Bears and Packers players make this week?
It was a lot of talking this week. You know what I mean? Like, and not even just today, like throughout the week, like we heard the noise. We heard the noise from Christian Watkins and, and Keyshawn Nixon, all the guys talking.
You done did it now Packers. You upset Kevin Byard.
Yeah, man.
How did that work out for you?
Feeling like Colin Cowhert after a bad prediction.
You tried to mispronounce it.
Yeah, I couldn't remember how you called it. But yeah, Colin Cowhert, Christian Watkins.
Christian Watkins is good. I may never call him Christian Watson again. Thanks to our guests. Thanks in reverse order, we go. Dan Witterer, thanks to Anthony Heron. Thanks to Rinalis for hooking us up with... Not only a ceremonial cheese grater, but the rest of the victory chicken today. Ray Diaz, Tyler Buterbaugh, Connor O'Donnell is always. Jacob Stutz, Max Curtis helping us out. Grant Leder helped us out with sound as well. And a special hello to Lawrence Holmes and Matt Spiegel on a day we have never experienced before together, gentlemen.
What day is that? Bears playoff win day?
Yes. Victory chicken playoff win day. This group had not.
You know what's sticking with me, Lawrence, from our meeting was Tanny saying, I've been in the business for 15 years. Yep. And I've never been this far into the playoffs. Oh, man. Like Chris Tannehill, the grizzled old audio salt has never been in this spot before professionally. And like this whole town is just on fire.
It's great, man. We haven't been this together since the announcement of the Pope. That was the last time I felt like we were all together. Now I'm feeling that again. There's just that nod as you walk around the city of Bears.
Well, let's do the math, because are there more Bears fans than Catholics? In this town? Absolutely. I think so, too. I think there's more unity behind the Bears than the Pope.
Yeah, no argument. But I'm just saying, this is the most we've been unified since that great day when Pope Bob was announced. It was actually during Rahimi Harrison Grody that the Pope announcement came down. I felt so close to the city that day, and I feel so close to Chicago and the suburbs today as well.
They did that intentionally, right? They announced Pope Bob during your show?
They did. They had a little bit of respect, as I like to say.
Just like the Cubs announced Bregman during the Bears game. Okay, Provost.
The turning point. If Provost is going to be the guy, let's make sure it happens between 10 and 2.
The Bregman announcement is the turning point. Marshall, you haven't heard this theory yet?
Don't lie to me. Did you text Jed Hoyer, Matt Spiegel? Did you tell him, thanks for the comeback?
No, I did not. I did not. I do think, though, that all my takes about Bregman were a big part of that finally happening.
How did Bears fans react to the playoff win over the Packers?
Don't you think so, Lawrence?
If you're going to text Jed, text him and say, don't trade Nico.
I don't think I need to anymore. I don't think they're going to.
We were up front on that one. There's some apron issues afoot.
I think they're going to go over. Which apron is that? First, second, third? First.
We know they don't really do aprons over there. They really don't like to do aprons. Look, Tanny also told us today that if there's any Bregman in my Bears, he's going to call the waiter. Waiter, excuse me. There's some Bregman in my Bears today. As exciting as that is, that win, I mean, where does that rank on the Chicago sports wins that we've been witness to? I mean, that's just one of the great wins of our sports town.
Well, the improbability factor is really what you've got to add in there. It's its own category, I think. Yes, it's a big win by itself, but just the circumstances and scoring 25 points in the fourth quarter, I'm not sure what the comp is.
It's such a big win that the only thing that matters now is the Bears winning the Super Bowl. That's how big of a win it was.
You're right.
They can lose on Sunday. People are still going to be happy. They could lose in the NFC title game. People are going to still be happy. They lose in the Super Bowl, people are going to be pissed.
