  • No Reunion Needed: Leave Patrick Kane in the Past

    Dan Bernstein explains why he believes the Blackhawks should avoid a Patrick Kane reunion, arguing that the franchise’s dynasty-era baggage — including scandals and organizational cover-ups — should remain in the past rather than be revisited.


    0:00 Patrick Kane

    23:30 Fan Confrontation at Wrigley

    36:30 Roger Clemens

    52:25 Taco Bell Lettuce


    Plus, Dan reacts to a viral moment at Wrigley Field where an older Cubs fan slapped a younger fan for not standing during the national anthem, sparking debate about fan behavior and respect in public spaces.

    Also on the show, Dan surprisingly offers praise for Roger Clemens (yes, really), breaks down Bryson DeChambeau’s bizarre threat to call the President after a self-inflicted rules violation, and asks the important question on everyone’s mind: is it finally safe to trust Taco Bell lettuce again?

  • Theo Epstein Wins the Weekend

    Dan Bernstein crowns the true GOAT of Chicago sports: Theo Epstein. Dan revisits the Cubs' 10-year World Series anniversary celebration, where Epstein stole the show by sporting a memorable "Twinkle Dee and Twinkle Dum" T-shirt.

To close out the show, Matt delivers his review of The Odyssey.

  • A Great Time to Be a Chicago Sports Fan

    Dan Bernstein takes a moment to appreciate the big picture when it comes to the current state of Chicago sports.


    0:00 Chicago Sports

    15:00 Cubs Anniversary

    42:30 The Odyssey


    With the Cubs approaching the 10-year anniversary of their 2016 World Series championship, Dan reflects on why fans should enjoy this rare moment: all five major Chicago sports teams are either competing at a high level or boast exciting young stars who could shape the city's future.

    Along the way, the conversation takes a few unexpected turns, including a discussion about The Odyssey and a look back at some famously bad TV shows that, despite their notoriety, neither of us ever got around to watching. It's a mix of sports, perspective, and pop culture that makes for a fun and wide-ranging episode.

  • Why is Bruce Levine Apologizing?

    Dan Bernstein reacts to the fallout from Bruce Levine’s mistaken tweet/text incident, questioning why a reporter should have to apologize for simply sharing a thought about the team he covers.


    0:00 Bruce Levine

    39:00 Cubs

    46:20 Caleb Wilson

    53:00 Olive Garden


    Dan argues that if Levine owes anyone an apology, it’s not for using the names “Twinkle Dee” and “Twinkle Dum” in what should have remained a private conversation—it’s to the source within the organization who was inadvertently exposed. Later, Dan explains why he believes Caleb Wilson could become a special player for the Bulls and wraps up with a look at the return of Olive Garden’s wildly popular Pasta Pass.
