The Big Red Bus: A Chicago Bulls Podcast

In this lively and wide-ranging episode of The Big Red Bus, See Red Fred and the Podfather Doug Thonus discuss one of the Bulls’ most intriguing potential draft picks: Collin Murray-Boyles. The South Carolina forward has been rising up draft boards thanks to his physical style of play, defensive versatility, and emerging offensive skill set.  See Red Fred identifies Derik Queen as a player with high bust potential.

The show starts with a detour, as See Red Fred launches into a spirited critique of the repetitive Liberty Mutual commercial that seems to plague every timeout during the NBA Conference Finals. Fred can’t believe anyone can endure it.

Things escalate when Fred uncovers Doug’s shocking ignorance of ABC7 meteorologist Cheryl Scott. That revelation leads to a debate about whether anyone still watches the evening news for weather updates in 2025 or if that habit has gone the way of VHS tapes and payphones.

This episode blends Bulls talk, media culture, and some classic See Red tangents you won't want to miss.
