Chapter 1: What humorous moments set the tone for this Chicago birthday celebration?
Just a little. Little's okay. You really sound like a dog marking his territory. Spraying down the keyboard in here before Spiegel and Holmes come in. Well, thankfully for you, one of our broadcast partners is broadcasting from home today. That's right. Thanks to Ray Diaz. Thanks to Tyler Buterbaugh.
Chapter 2: Who are the key contributors mentioned in the podcast?
Thanks to Brandon Fryer, Connor O'Donnell, Jacob Stutz, Max Curtis, and Cody Westerlin. Thanks to our guest, Joe Thomas. Check out halloffamebeef.com. He's promoting it, and it looks really great. Mike Florio, also a part of the show today. And thanks to Danny Parkins. Matt Spiegel, you are keyboard marked free.
Lawrence Holmes, I think I was at your keyboard, so I didn't spill anything just a little, even though Grody claims that it's okay. I have a two-mic region over here. He's hanging out with his cat too much. I clean this studio after every show. That's very courteous of you. After every show. This is why we have a good relationship with Mike Mulligan. This is why.
Because Lawrence cleans it up, and then when Mully comes in, he knows he's all good. So that's why we had Mully on yesterday, because Mully respects the way that Lawrence takes care of the work. It's like the gym. You wipe it down for the next person. 100%. It's common courtesy. I appreciate what you do, Lawrence. However, let's give Dustin a little credit.
Dustin comes in here, unless he doesn't do this anymore, but I was in here for five years with Dustin. He comes in with his little wipes and spray. And that might have been the Grobber time, too. Because the place did have to be disinfected. I'd come in here, he'd be sweating, mopping the floor, and wipes all over the place. I'm sorry, Mark, you lost me at let's give Dustin a little credit.
That's where you lost me. He does bring in his own disinfecting wipes, though. I know, he's very particular about them. I go and buy cleaning supplies, too. If I had known, I would have contributed to the pot.

Chapter 3: What are the cleaning habits shared by the hosts?
I'm sorry. You didn't know that, Speaks? I didn't know that you brought your own stuff. Oh, Lord's got a locker. That's right. He's one of the score locker people. We're a team. We can all contribute. I hope you're expensing that. What are we doing? It's $4. It doesn't matter. Speaks, here's what we'll do. We will guilt buy some disinfectant in support of our team.
Look, Chris Tannehill is in charge of cutlery in our office. He buys cutlery, the plastic kind. And every once in a while, you just got to contribute to the Tanny Costco fund. I had no idea that Lawrence was in charge of cleaning supplies. I feel guilty, Layla. I'm not in charge of cleaning supplies. I just wanted to make sure that we had what we needed to clean the studio.
after we're done is this like how i always acquire plastic cutlery and uh now to-go containers for tanny for our stash yeah that's important what else you got back there lauren he just pulls out a big can what else you got under the table what else you keep to keep yourself comfortable there's a rag in there too you know yeah i feel like we're on the prices right can we guess can we get some of the prices of these items 3.99
The beautiful Sharla is showing you a 2002 Saturn. Oh, God. Are the prices right, ladies, for a young Matt Spiegel home from school? Oh, boy. I always wanted one of those microphones, the Bob Barker tiny microphone. Ooh. That's what she's... Never mind. No.
Chapter 4: How does the conversation shift to discussing sports personalities?
She did not say that. She didn't say that. That was the style back then. It was Bob Barker. Who was the host of Joker's Wild? He had one, too. That was the whole thing. The super skinny Mike. Yeah. I want to say Joker's Wild was Wink Martindale, not the former defensive coordinator. Same guy. Same name. Same dude. Not same guy, but same name.
Wink Martindale is a game show host and a defensive coordinator. His name isn't actually, the coach's name isn't Wink. It's just because it was Martindale, he got the nickname. Oh, yeah? What about the coach actually named Bronco? Bronco Mendenhall. Bronco Nagurski.
Well, and it's funny, Gene Rayburn, who was the host of the match game, and he had the awesome microphone, the long microphone, is not the same guy as Gene Rayburn, who was the defensive coordinator for the Cowboys in the 1990s. This is getting ridiculous now. I made that up. I was going to say. I was like, I don't remember Gene Rayburn.
There's like four or five guys that actually hosted those shows and did multiple shows, like Richard Dawson. Ryan Seacrest. Yeah, Ryan Seacrest. He's doing that now. If you get one game show, you must have 12. From what people say about it, it's a really good life. Oh, yeah, dude. He started as one of us. Vanna White's been doing it for 60 years. I can't believe she's still there.
I was thinking about it. I think I saw a billboard with her. I'm like, man, she must really love her job. It's a great job. Yeah, I guess. She doesn't even have to turn the things anymore. Now she can just touch them. Touch screen. Yeah. It's like sitcom life if you're a movie actor and you're going to just settle down and relax and do that instead. Or Flo from Progressive or Jan from Toyota.
Hey, my dude. My dude, Chicagoan guitar player Greg Saran, wonderful guy, big listener of the station and the show, is now the guitar player on both The Voice and American Idol. Made man. That is his stay-at-home California music job after being on tour with lots of different artists through the years. So that's his version of game show life. He's enjoying himself.
Any musician with a regular gig of any kind, you're in the top 1% of musicians. Spiegel. Congratulations. On some level. Hey, I learned something today, guys, about the Raiders situation. Do you remember the name of Alex Guerrero? You guys remember the name of Alex Guerrero? No, but I remember Roberto Guerrero, who was the guy who did TB12. There it is.
Alex Guerrero, Tom Brady's partner in TB12. All those kind of specious life improvement and athletic improvement devices and medicines, which seemed really odd. Yeah, wellness. He's the wellness coordinator for the Raiders. He is everywhere. Michael Silver wrote about it today at The Athletic. He is considered a direct pipeline to Brady.
While Brady was off doing his Fox stuff, Guerrero was attending practices, attending coaches' meetings, telling players about upcoming transactions, telling staff members they could be at risk. for their jobs if they don't follow along the right way and apparently reporting 100% of things to Tom Brady. And this is part of why Max Crosby wants out. Who's running that damn show? Tom Brady.

Chapter 5: What insights are shared about the coaching grades in the NFL?
You know how it is, Spiegel, in spring training when you start getting players on the opposing team. Number 97. Or the third or fourth number 97. Oh, wait. You just throw the papers up and you're like, I'm not scoring anymore. I had a moment like that when a dude came in to play for Jonathan Long when he got hurt for the Cubs. And I literally, I said, I'm not quite sure who that is.
On a baseball. But I know. And Coombe is such a gem at the break. He's like, you know, we don't have to say that if we don't want. We could just let it play out and figure it out next thing. I'm like, Coombe, I don't mind admitting it. This is an absurd moment in the baseball universe. And frankly frequent. Like this happens more often than people think. Yes.
Apparently, I was told that some veteran broadcasters will just make up dudes' names. Oh, I bet. Yeah. After a while, like if you're like John Miller, right? If you're out there and you're just like, enough! Enough of this crap! Joey Jojo Jr. Shabadoo's bath speed has really improved in the offseason. No, no, no, no. You guys go ahead and do these spring games.
I don't care about these spring games. I don't care who does it. Matt, go ahead. When'd you get in? When'd you get in? When'd you get in? The new left-hand pitcher for the Royals is John Smith. John Smith. Anybody know about it, Zach? Do you know anything about John Smith? I certainly do not. I do not. John L. Smith. Oh, yeah, there you go. Shouldn't have to worry about it.
But Jonathan Wong, yeah, man. Good backup defensive player for the Cubs. You over here were laughing so hard. Was it Austin Hayes? Was that the one that got you? It was either Austin Hayes or Tyler Austin. Tyler Austin. It was Tyler Austin. You were like, it's cool, guys. Tyler Austin's here. But no, he's no longer here. No longer here. Tyler Austin is the one that's gone.
Austin Hayes is preserved, right? It's not going to work here anymore. It's not going to work here. But that was kind of the joke when it happened. He's here. Well, this is the only time we could talk about these names. Once the real stuff starts, there's no... There's no Gage Tater workman anymore. Especially this year in a must-win, must, must, must-win year for the Cubs.
I am sitting on some Chaz McCormick and Dylan Carlson content that just isn't getting used in the afternoon. Hey, man, how many ALCSs did Chaz McCormick go to? Thank you. Laila, you know Chaz McCormick, World Series defensive superstar Chaz McCormick. And that concludes our Chaz McCormick segment. They got it out of the system. You're welcome, Lawrence. This is what we're going to do today.
Mark Potash is going to join us at 5 o'clock. It's still my heart. We get to talk with Potsy. Potsy. Olin Krutz is going to join us at 4 o'clock tonight. Krutzy. Hell yeah. Marvin Freeman's going to be on the show today. Crazy. We just wanted to talk baseball and maybe Chicago basketball with him. We'll see.
And we are going to have, and Layla, I know that this conversation is near and dear to your heart, the Luke Cornett conversation. What about the Luke Newman conversation? I feel like that's more important. I'm tired of having that already. What is the Luke, like the one I had? No, not the one you had, but I know that you guys know each other from him being Big Shot Bob.
