What are the key elements to setting the right Super Bowl party vibe?

Unknown 0:00

The score!

Matt Spiegel 0:01

I thought that Modest Booze was Ellis. I don't know if you saw that.

Unknown 0:04

I'm sorry, did I say Mac Miller, not Mac McClung?

Matt Spiegel 0:06

McClung! R.I.P. Mac Miller, though. R.I.P.

Unknown 0:08

Mac Miller, very important.

Matt Spiegel 0:09

It's a Wayne Larrabee name. Matt McClung!

Unknown 0:11

Oh my god!

Mark Grote 0:13

Isn't it? McClung! It's not Eric, it's a McClung! A McClung dunk!

Unknown 0:19

I would just like to take this time to tell you that not only are we back from commercial break on time, we're early. So don't ever say we did nothing for you.

Matt Spiegel 0:28

I'll do a quick segment then before we do transition.

Unknown 0:31

You know what I do? Because a listener actually requested in FM your impressions and they wanted to hear you imitate Jeff Joniak.

Matt Spiegel 0:38

I don't really have a Jeff Joniak in person. You're ridiculous.

Unknown 0:41

I don't know. You are ridiculous.

Matt Spiegel 0:44

How's that?

Unknown 0:45

I think it's good.

Matt Spiegel 0:46

A little higher pitch than Wayne.

Unknown 0:47

I will take all Mark Brody FM impersonation requests to see if they sound any different. I like that idea.

Matt Spiegel 0:54

We sound cooler on FM from what we've been told. I don't know. Didn't we say we sound younger? We sound younger.

Unknown 1:00

Thanks to Mike Florio. Thanks to Jarrett Payton for coming on. It was a wonderful moment catching up with him. Thanks to Matt Chatham. Thanks to Ray Diaz, Tyler Buterbaugh, Brandon Fryer. Thanks in part to Connor O'Donnell, Max Curtis, and Jacob Stutz. And I guess Max and Connor or Connor and Max were part of the reason that the Twitch clips are back in the breaks now and the Twitch mob is very happy.

Leila Rahimi 1:24

Oh, they were so upset about that. They were sad. I like a happy Twitch mob.

Unknown 1:29

We are working for you. So we got the clips back and I'm glad you guys are happy about it because that makes me happy. Can I do a Gary Bender impersonation since we're doing Bears play-by-play, guys? We're back early. Why the heck not? Chicago. Touchdown, Chicago.

Leila Rahimi 1:47

There was a breathlessness about Gary Bender.

Unknown 1:50

And the fact that he would say Chicago instead of the Bears.

Matt Spiegel 1:55

That's always a tell. I have noticed that, too, when I am listening or consuming, and I hear somebody say, you haven't been here very long, if you're saying that.

Leila Rahimi 2:03

You know, I've lived in this town since 1992, and yet still there'll be a moment every once in a while where Lawrence Holmes will be like... Oh, that's impressive that I might know something. Yesterday, it was the Chicago Vocational School location where Dick Butkus went to school down by Calumet. Calumet Park. Calumet Park.

How important is the food selection for a Super Bowl gathering?

Unknown 2:22

Over on Avenue G, which is a street that people are like, that doesn't exist in Chicago. There's no way Avenue G. Yes, it does.

Leila Rahimi 2:28

But I'm like, CBS. And you're like, oh, very good. Pretty good, Jersey boy. That's pretty good.

Matt Spiegel 2:35

Your Chicago-ness is impressive, Mr. Speaker.

Unknown 2:37

Was that the segment after the AK breakdown? I think that was a 520-ish segment or so. We needed something to lift our spirits after listening to the Bulls. So we chose Bears Stadium Talk? Yeah. We're putting a stadium on the lake. One is imaginary, the other is real.

Leila Rahimi 2:53

Yeah, and then we needed something to feel better about, so we watched... Schindler's List? Saving Private Ryan. Either one, that works. I was going to say Shoah, but that's too deep a reference. Schindler's List is the best.

Unknown 3:06

I actually think that for the spirit of the plot, I think Shoah is a good reference. Yes, Shoah. Well, I always like to represent for the east side because people don't think it exists. And I got some east side peeps. So whenever we make a mention of Avenue O or Avenue G over there. Speaking of Shoah...

Leila Rahimi 3:29

So it's like a Holocaust documentary. It's like six hours long or something. I remember I was a kid, and it was like a Saturday, and we were sledding. And we would leave the house. My parents were watching Shoah. We'd leave the house and go sledding, come back, and it's time for hot chocolate and marshmallows, and they were still watching Shoah. And you leave, and you come back, and they're still doing it. It's like, can you turn this off? I know I need to be in touch with my roots. I know. But maybe not when it's nice to be sledding.

Unknown 3:56

I just read Night by Elie Wiesel.

Leila Rahimi 3:58

Oh. God, I don't leave a mark.

Unknown 4:00

But it's appropriate, you know?
