What are the initial thoughts on Bear Dads?
Let's get a bear dad on. Bear dads.
Sounds like a new sitcom. This is Rahimi Harrison-Grote. We thank you for listening to us on this Monday. Thanks to our guests. Thanks to Dan Weterer for helping us out from the owner's meetings, getting us that information from Ben Johnson. Thanks to Lance Brodzowski. Always great to have him on. Thanks to Jeremy Warner for talking about the Illini with us. Kaylin Kaler for giving us the scoop.
How did the hosts express gratitude towards their guests?
from those owners' meetings and how bad the relationship has gotten between the NFL and referees. And thanks to Marshall Harris, Mark Grody, Ray Diaz, Tyler Buterbaugh, Cody Westerlund, Connor O'Donnell, Jacob Stutz, Max Curtis, and I saw Grant Leder, so he gets a thank you as well for helping us out today. Let's go out to Wrigley Field. And that is where we find Lawrence Holmes and Matt Spiegel on a very fun day. Where are you guys broadcasting from?
We are in the Angels booth right now. And as a sad commentary on our business, the Angels are not traveling their play-by-play team.
No Wayne Randazzo? It's the TV guy. He'll be here. Oh, so it's the Angels radio team.
We're in the visiting radio booth, and yeah, you can't disconnect our good fortune to be doing a ball game from this incredible vantage point, from the bad fortune of the Angels radio crew, which doesn't get to be here. It's the first series of the year.
It's so funny. We had Richard Deitch on recently. Marshall, I think you were off that day, but Marshall and I talked to him, and one of the things I brought up with him was, we all know what's going on with the RSNs on television, but I asked him, is radio healthy? He said, if you're a big marketplace like Chicago...
How is the relationship between the NFL and referees affecting the game?
Or Los Angeles.
Or Los Angeles. Radio is alive and well and will continue to be, but the medium and smaller markets are finding cheap ways to diss their broadcasters. And the Angels, I guess they are a big market, but they are not acting like it.
They're financially one of the biggest markets. That's why it's so shocking to see that this be the case. But Speaks is right. We get to take advantage of their misfortune and have the most perfect perch.
The most exquisite spot to do a radio show. We're next door to where Pat and Ron and Zach and Paul Zerang will be setting up. We don't have to disrupt them.
What if I... I'll turn my camera around just so people can see on Twitch and on YouTube. Is that a bat boy?
This is what we're looking at. A bat boy for the angels bringing over all the balls for BP. It is a glorious Chamber of Commerce quality day.
And because the trees haven't come in yet, we can see the lake for real, for real.
Yeah, this is exquisite. It's you know, those days when you look down and you're like, wait a minute, this is where I'm working.
What is the significance of broadcasting from Wrigley Field?
Like like in front of us is a microphone, a laptop or an iPad and a baseball glove and a ball because we're throwing out the first pitch late.
Okay, just don't do this. Don't do the social media Instagram thing, though, where you do, this is my office for today. This is my work office.
I've been doing that for at least 10 years. I'm not even on social media.
It's in the 70s, right? It is my office.
It's like mid-70s here. I did text it to my wife and my nephew and my brother.
What's done is done. I'm sure you did. Why is Grody hating on positivity? I've just seen that so many times through the years. Yeah, guess what? It's Chicago and it's been freezing for how long?
Yes, I would celebrate your day at the park.
There's a dude twerking on the back of an L train today unattached. Yeah, I saw that.
When you post that stuff, Grode, you've got to make sure you say how grateful you are.
Oh, that's right.
Like the humblebrag.
Right.
Show a little gratitude. That's how you got to do it. Prayer hands.
Prayer hands. Hold on. What's wrong with the brag brag? Be like, blank. I'm throwing out the first pitch today. And I'm singing the seventh inning stretch, too. If you have a problem with that, I'm not sorry. This is my office. Scoreboard.
I am going to like your post, Lawrence, just because. Y'all have guilted him into liking the post.
