What are the initial thoughts on White Sox and Cubs rivalry?

Matt Spiegel 0:00
It's scaffolding.
Marshall Harris 0:04
Rahimi Harris and Grody, one third in the building. Marshall Harris here. I'm Gabe Ramirez filling in for the other two. And I want to thank everybody. What a great show today. Went by fast. Shout out to Carmen Vitale first off. That was a quick one o'clock hour talking all things Bears. I want to thank Connor McKnight from CHSN for hanging out with us, as well as Elias Schuster from Sports Illustrated. I want to thank... Connor O'Donnell, Jacob Stutz, and Max Curtis for taking care of us as our score video producers. And those that are taking care of us behind the glass, I want to thank Tyler Buterbaugh for hanging out with us today. And Ray Diaz. And now it is time for some transition. Spiegel and Holmes in the building.
Marshall Harris 0:45
What's up, fellas? I see Dave Dykstra is back there. He's back in the building now. I didn't even see Double D back there.
Yeah, baby.
Matt Spiegel 0:53
We needed some help, and we called Dave. So Dave is going to be helping. He's back, baby. I love to see it.
Marshall Harris 1:01
You guys talking about a lot of Penn State today?
Matt Spiegel 1:04
I mean, he's always wearing something, Penn State. Penn State wrestling, national champs, right?
Laurence Holmes 1:10
I guess it hasn't been long enough, you said, talking a lot of Penn State. And I immediately went to dark and disordered.

How do Cubs fans perceive their team's challenges?

Laurence Holmes 1:16
I went to a terrible place.
Matt Spiegel 1:18
Not that Penn State.
Laurence Holmes 1:19
Where the freight train of hate and indignation always used to go.
Matt Spiegel 1:21
I thought you were going to go to the place of comparing their tight ends to the one that you got.
Laurence Holmes 1:26
No, didn't go there. It's funny, all the different places you could go. Hey, Speaks, I was actually on campus when all that went down. It was a frightful time. Yeah, man, I bet. To be a reporter, and they're like, you hate our guy. We're going to try to flip over your car now. Has there been a movie or a documentary? I remember the night I saw Paterno come out of his house and stand there in front of the house and tell the supportive students to go home. Remember that night? Yes. And the supportive students were 100% wrong. Just dead ass wrong. And he's out there saying, thank you, I love you, go home, get some sleep. It was like, this is a movie. I don't think it's been a movie yet, right?
Matt Spiegel 2:05
He's literally saying, get off my lawn.
Laurence Holmes 2:08
No, but for real. I mean, see, the whole thing was like, whew. It was not great. No. Not one of our finest moments as a society. As a society. Yes. We've had a lot of those, by the way, since then. We repeat it over and over again.

What are the implications of the Cubs' recent performance?

Laurence Holmes 2:19
It's the same version of many different, whether it's the Catholic Church or the Boy Scouts. People love what they love, and they want to believe in their institutions, even when their institutions are absolute dumpster fires. And predators use the institutions to hide behind stuff. It's the same story in a million industries.
Marshall Harris 2:36
But it sounds like you want to start a GoFundMe for the movie so that that way. Watch it all unfold before your eyes.
Laurence Holmes 2:43
Time to move into movie production, Gabe. That's where I'm going.
Marshall Harris 2:47
What's up, guys? I feel like I haven't seen you guys in a while.
Laurence Holmes 2:49
I know. It's been a long time, right? Well, it's good. It's good to see you. I love that you said the show went by fast. That's the best thing it can be. The show definitely went by fast. You know, if it's fun, if it's good. It was definitely fun. If it's clickin'. Gabe was out here saying he doesn't believe in the Chicago Bears.
Marshall Harris 3:02
Do not be twisting my words. You sound like a texter right now.
Matt Spiegel 3:05
I walked in here during a break and it was like people were talking about no one believes in Caleb. Gabe doesn't believe in the Bears. What the hell is going on on middays today?
Marshall Harris 3:15
And the whole time I didn't say a word. That was the best part about that segment. I was talking about Spiegs with the win total the way that it is. Bears winning 11 last year.

How has the perception of the White Sox changed among fans?

Marshall Harris 3:26
I just know how Bears fans are because I'm part of it. And so if it's anything less than 11 wins, Bears fans are going to be up in arms. And so my thing was just trying to put myself in a mental space where I'm not expecting the Bears to win 12 games and make it to the Super Bowl and Caleb Williams is MVP forever.
