In the final hour, Danny Parkins and Matt Spiegel turned their attention to the Cubs. Star infielder/outfielder Kris Bryant was quoted as saying he and first baseman Anthony Rizzo could be a "Bryzzo" package deal in free agency for another team this offseason. Or was he really talking about wanting to return to the Cubs? There’s no way to know. After that, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago joined the show to discuss Tom Thibodeau of the Knicks winning the NBA Coach of the Year award and what the Bulls may do this offseason. Also, Yankees ace Gerrit Cole used a lot of words to say he’s never used the soon-to-be-banned substance "Spider Tack."

In the third hour, Danny Parkins and Matt Spiegel discussed how they've had quite the day of everyone on their show being mentioned -- both positively and negatively -- on other shows on the station. We absolutely love being the popular kids. Put some respect on our names. Also, the Cubs-Padres broadcast Monday was a blast, and Spiegs heard it from his inferior quality patio setup. Later, they pondered this: What could you do for 20 consecutive days? Apple employees are refusing to come back to work. Enough.

In the second hour, Danny Parkins and Matt Spiegel were joined by Audacy Chicago 16-inch softball team manager Lin Brehmer to break down the abomination of a performance in a loss Monday evening. Not great, softball fans! Also, big news here, as the NFL is starting to research whether marijuana is better for pain management than… opioids. We’ll see! Then, Nets star Kevin Durant absolutely reads the comments. So let’s take a look at all of the media beefs he has had over the last couple of years.

Danny Parkins and Matt Spiegel opened their show by discussing how the Audacy Chicago 16-inch softball team was absolutely embarrassed yet again Monday evening. Who’s to blame? Someone needs to start pointing a thumb. After that, Jon Morosi of MLB Network and Fox Sports joined the show to discuss the hottest national MLB headlines. Also, are we certain now the Cubs won’t be sellers at the trade deadline?

In the final hour, Danny Parkins and Matt Spiegel discussed White Sox broadcasters Jason Benetti and Len Kasper launching their new podcast called Sox Degrees. First guest? White Sox general manager Rick Hahn. We found out Hahn leans toward throwing laundry baskets when he's angry. Which raised the question: When's the last time you got legitimately sports mad? And as always, we ended the show with your questions in the One Last Thing segment.

In the third hour, Danny Parkins and Matt Spiegel were joined by Score legend and current Bernstein & Rahimi Show co-host Dan Bernstein to discuss White Sox manager Tony La Russa's relentless need to bunt the baseball in situations that don't require it. Then, after his recent appearance on Spiegel Idol, legendary Fox broadcaster Joe Buck left Spiegs quite the voicemail with a full critique of his most recent fifth inning of play-by-play work. And last but not least, an absolute all-timer. A story resurfaced of a man in Texas suing a stripper for some Harry Potter DVDs and a "loan."

In the second hour, Danny Parkins and Matt Spiegel discussed how Cubs star Kris Bryant has likely played himself out of what the team can afford in a contract offer this offseason. If you're the Cubs front office, would you give Bryant an eight-year deal worth nearly $300 million? Also, Jeff Bezos is headed to space. But ... why? Later, the guys reacted to Cubs president of business operations Crane Kenney telling the Mully & Haugh Show that the organization will still lose money in this 2021 season despite fans returning to Wrigley Field at full capacity this Friday.
