What is the current status of the Bears' stadium situation in Chicago?
It's like the city of Chicago is like Jim Carrey in Dumb and Dumber. So you're telling me there's a chance?
And that's where we're at with this. That was Jeff Buchholz, the WBBM political editor. And we are thankful to have had him on today to help us get some key information. Like, for example, Scott Hagel, he said, was the Bears' lead lobbyist on this. And he had been working with the Bears for many years, as a lot of us know. Thanks to Connor McKnight, who soothed our souls with some baseball talk and talked about a little bit of momentous score history. Thanks to Ray Diaz, Tyler Biederbaugh, Brandon Fryer, Connor O'Donnell, Jacob Stutz, Max Curtis, and Cody Westerlund for doing all they do on video, on our websites, audio, and taking your calls. Thanks to everybody who called in and texted in. I'm sorry we couldn't get to everybody, but we do appreciate.
People chiming in and giving their opinions and hanging with us. Thanks to our Twitch mom and YouTube. And now, thanks in part for our transition. It is brought to you by Torque Coatings, high-performance coatings for your home or business.
Who are the key figures involved in the Bears' stadium negotiations?
T-O-R-Q, TorqueCoatings.com. And now we hand the torch of this never-ending saga to our friends, The Afternoon Show, Matt Spiegel and Lawrence Holmes.
The never-ending story. That was fun, though. The never-ending story was fun. There was a big dog that flew. Big dog, yeah. Giant, white, fluffy, flying dog.
I didn't buy it. I didn't buy it at all. Dogs can't fly, and you know it.
They're going to put an H on the helmet, or is it an H now?
Young Fred Savage, if I remember correctly.
No, you're right, Marshall. Or was that Pete's Dragon?
What challenges does Kevin Warren face in the stadium negotiations?
No, Pete's Dragon was completely animated and off the rails.
Young Fred Savage, I always think of Princess Bride with Peter Falk as Grandpa.
Reading the story. You know what?
I'm probably conflating the two then.
I think you might be.
Yeah, because both of them had an older gentleman reading the story. There you go. Also, I would like to take this time to recognize Labyrinth for no other reason other than it's a really random movie.
Oh, I thought you were talking about the artist. Oh, the band, yeah.
The movie with David Bowie.
Yep. All around the same time period.
My cousins loved Labyrinth.
How does the political landscape in Chicago affect the Bears' stadium plans?
Him and Zendaya. They would play it together.
Little did I realize that Euphoria would be more real than the Bears having a stadium today.
Euphoria is pretty real regardless, but yeah. Not season three.
Season three was in.
I didn't get that far.
Season three is now. It's over.
It just ended. Yeah.
Apparently so did the whole series. It's not good, Lawrence.
It needed to end after season three.
Was it like Save the Bell the college years?
What role does public funding play in the Bears' stadium discussions?
Is that how you would put it?
Wow. It's got a little bit of that going on in it. With more sex cams. So much time.
As they happen, yeah. Unless, was there someone saved by the bell college years that I don't remember? Grody, do you remember if there was some? I don't think so. Yeah, I don't think it existed.
Jesse was on Showgirls. Sex cams.
Does that count? Yeah. It's for safe.
How have past negotiations influenced the current stadium situation?
That's true. Yeah, no. I'm sorry. Go ahead, Lawrence. Your review of season three of Euphoria.
there was just too much of a layoff in between seasons two and season three. And then all the stuff happened. You had cast members die. Like I think there, there were three cast members who died between season two and season three. People didn't want to be a part of season three. And then you just end up like, Oh, so what are we doing? This forward. And it also seemed like the show runner was like, you know what? I'm going to do all my fetish stuff. Now I'm just going to do all of that.
What are the implications of potentially moving the Bears to Indiana?
I'm going to have Sidney Sweeney out here doing all the stuff that I've ever wanted to see her do. Wow.
That's a very open-ended statement. It was a pretty good promotion by Lawrence right there.
Sorry. Sending people to HBO Max. I would say that the last season, not the final season, but the season that just passed of For All Mankind. Very, very interesting.
Really, I got to get there. As long as we're talking shows, I am loving Widow's Bay on Apple TV.
