What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
DJ is a veteran.
What insights do the hosts share about handling challenging weeks?
What do you tell the younger guys about handling a week like this?
You recovered nicely, Layla.
Now you're losing it again.
I was never worried about her. I know what you were saying. She was a little off the rails, but we can put this train back on the tracks.
It's so good. It's so good because it's Phil and the DJs were playing.
Go DJ. Yeah, that's my DJ.
That is my DJ. Thanks to Mason Crosby, of all people, the Packers' all-time leading scorer. No, he was good. Thanks to Adam Hogue. Thanks to Kevin Fishbane, the National Sports Media Association Illinois Sports Writer of the Year, Kevin Fishbane. Thanks to everybody who contributed to Inside the Locker Room, especially DJ Moore and Phil Thompson. No, we have to thank Phil Thompson. Thanks, Phil. Thanks to Ray Diaz. Thanks to Tyler Ferengel, grant leader helping us out today as well.
Brandon Fryer.
Yeah, Brandon Fryer helps out.
Yeah, he does.
He just gets a thank you because I like him, too.
Uncle Common.
Thanks to Connor O'Donnell, Jacob Stutz, Max Curtis, Cody Westerlin, Mitch for getting the cake for Mark Rohde's birthday.
Thank you, Mitch. That was very thoughtful.
And the fruit. And like I said, your life is a lot easier when you decide to like cantaloupe. All of a sudden, there's all this fruit for you.
Yes.
You can't ever be disappointed that when there's a fruit bowl, it's a really nice thing.
There's a fruit and cake, so we got a fruit cake out there.
That's not how this works.
No?
I don't know. Let's go out to real-time sports and look at what the guys think.
How do the hosts express gratitude towards their contributors?
What do you guys think, Matt Spiegel and Lawrence Holmes?
What's up, boys? About fruit cake? All of it. I think the cantaloupe is really difficult to cut. Like, Christine is the one, if I get a cantaloupe, I don't know what to do with it. I give it to her, and she cleans it up and cuts it up, which is part of why her trade value is so high.
It's my favorite Jurassic 5 song. What's that?
You actively get the cantaloupe?
Like, that's the choice? The cantaloupe?
I enjoy cantaloupe. I'm a longtime cantaloupe guy. Absolutely. I wouldn't call it fruitcake just because it's near a cake. Well, you know what it is, Spiegel?
It's got a lot of potential. If somebody wants to make a fruitcake right now, all the ingredients, all the pieces are in place right now. That's not true.
That's not true, girl. It's a totally different cake.
It is?
It is. Yeah, it requires different spices and stuff in the dry batter, too.
Does anyone prefer fruitcake?
Oh, hell no. There's someone out there who does.
I'm not saying tolerate. I'm saying prefer. In a pinch, would I have some fruitcake? Probably. Right, but that's kind of how... But no one's like, hey, would you make me a fruitcake? My dad is kind of like that.
My dad. What's the difference between that and Stollen? Stollen? What about Knackwurst? I don't know.
What humorous moments arise from discussing fruit and cake?
What's Stollen? I don't even know what Stollen is.
That's a thing. I'm going to look it up.
I thought it was a vodka.
Yeah, that sounds very vodka.
No, it's definitely a bread.
Yeah.
It's German. I don't know why I know this.
Stollen. Are we talking about Nergie? Do we have to turn it off? I don't know. Never mind.
Stollen is a German Christmas bread.
Oh, Christmas.
Of nuts, spices, and dried or candied fruit. I have no idea why I knew that. I have no idea.
So Stollen sounds a lot like a gift. Have you been gifted a Stollen gift?
You know what I think it is? My ex-husband is German, so that probably had something to do with it.
Guys, what's it like out there?
The life that I forgot about.
Is there a party going on? What's happening?
The last time I was married, the Bears had won a playoff game.
Oh, my goodness.
What I didn't realize, and we'll answer your question in a second, Grotz.
We don't have to.
Did you guys realize of all the teams in the NFL playoffs this year, The team that has gone the longest without winning a playoff game is the Chicago Bears. Yes. They have the longest drought of any of the playoff teams in 15 years. I didn't realize that. Absolutely.
Spiegel, the Bears have won six playoff games since 1985.
