Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

Transition: For the Bears, only a Super Bowl win can top a playoff victory over the Packers

12 Jan 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: What noise did the Bears and Packers players make this week?

1.381 - 11.4 Leila Rahimi

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.

0

13.143 - 16.85 Mark Grote

You done did it now Packers. You upset Kevin Byard.

0

16.951 - 17.432 Marshall Harris

Yeah, man.

0

17.552 - 19.255 Mark Grote

How did that work out for you?

0

19.538 - 22.643 Marshall Harris

Feeling like Colin Cowhert after a bad prediction.

22.683 - 24.527 Mark Grote

You tried to mispronounce it.

24.547 - 29.115 Marshall Harris

Yeah, I couldn't remember how you called it. But yeah, Colin Cowhert, Christian Watkins.

29.776 - 54.157 Mark Grote

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.

54.177 - 63.673 Mark Grote

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.

Chapter 2: How did Bears fans react to the playoff win over the Packers?

178.742 - 179.704 Matt Spiegel

Don't you think so, Lawrence?

0

179.724 - 182.79 Leila Rahimi

If you're going to text Jed, text him and say, don't trade Nico.

0

183.293 - 186.396 Matt Spiegel

I don't think I need to anymore. I don't think they're going to.

0

186.476 - 190.82 Leila Rahimi

We were up front on that one. There's some apron issues afoot.

0

190.92 - 195.465 Marshall Harris

I think they're going to go over. Which apron is that? First, second, third? First.

195.505 - 221.231 Matt Spiegel

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?

221.311 - 224.64 Matt Spiegel

I mean, that's just one of the great wins of our sports town.

224.62 - 238.737 Lawrence Holmes

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.

238.778 - 248.61 Leila Rahimi

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.

Chapter 3: What makes this playoff win significant for Chicago sports?

653.775 - 654.516 Lawrence Holmes

Who hurt you?

0

654.616 - 667.896 Marshall Harris

Where did you get hurt? He should kill O'Neal, tell the story about how David Robinson wouldn't give him an autograph, and then years and years and years later, what does Shaq tell us? Oh, I made that story up. I totally made it up.

0

667.996 - 669.999 Mark Grote

Just for motivation. That's what I think.

0

670.059 - 689.224 Matt Spiegel

Sometimes there's something real. I used to have it with a colleague here. Sometimes there's something that sits in the back of your mind for decades and you never talk about it. And Matt LaFleur is a little more handsome. He rose up a little faster. He got his chances and all of that. And within the division, I can see it.

0

689.244 - 701.639 Marshall Harris

I think Ben's pretty handsome. I think you're trying to come with some ugly duckling stuff that doesn't exist. The entire division. Like, you're trying to make a backstory that does not exist. Like, when you talk about the nerdiness and all that, I was like, to Lawrence's point, he was a quarterback.

701.659 - 705.744 Matt Spiegel

He did play football. And he's ripped. Or I know some backstory.

706.264 - 711.691 Marshall Harris

Either one of those things could be true. So you're saying he was a legit nerd who happened to play football.

711.711 - 717.558 Matt Spiegel

Well, I mean, he's the analytics guy, isn't he? But he's also a football guy. He could be a football player and be smart.

717.798 - 721.322 Leila Rahimi

Absolutely. I mean, one of those guys is now running the Atlanta Falcons.

Chapter 4: How does the Bears' playoff win compare to past Chicago sports victories?

721.302 - 724.245 Matt Spiegel

For sure, for sure. You need it all.

0

724.405 - 734.514 Mark Grote

One of our producers roped a double off of Matt Ryan in high school. Really? Yeah, Paul Aspin, who used to work with us at BetMGM. Did you know that story, Marshall?

0

734.594 - 735.875 Marshall Harris

I don't think I did know that story.

0

735.935 - 737.317 Mark Grote

Back in Delco.

0

737.337 - 738.017 Leila Rahimi

That's pretty dope.

738.037 - 738.858 Marshall Harris

I know about Delco.

739.299 - 749.588 Leila Rahimi

That's fun. When you run into a pro, and then you're like, oh, I actually was on par with that person, and they took off on a rocket.

749.568 - 765.433 Leila Rahimi

cliff floyd yeah it wasn't it wasn't yeah it wasn't like that with me and cliff floyd we were all in awe of cliff floyd from the moment that he walked on the diamond and and still to this day because he is living a great life like this this whole thing though is just it's beautiful

765.413 - 769.659 Matt Spiegel

Mark Grody, was it beautiful at that place, in that locker room?
