The Stretch episodes

  • Winter Is Here

    The boys are still picking up the pieces from the Bears Eagles game. Fortunately, Nagy and Pace had a joint press conference Monday that Eddie breaks down in full detail. There are some major observations regarding Cody Parkey's future, Chuck Pagano, long-term planning and what everything means for the 2019 Bears. Spoiler Alert: Eddie thinks 2019 is going to be a special season. From there, White Sox Dave goes full MLB Insider on the Manny Machado saga, even calling Barstool Hubbs in the mothership NYC office to get the Yankees' side of MLB Free Agency. It should be no surprise that Hubbs is as frustrated as all of us. Carl then gives his fastest 5 minutes on the Chicago Cubs including a weird obsession with new Cubs Front Office "strategist" Craig Breslow aka the smartest man in baseball. Chief follows with some unfortunate realities: the Hawks are sellers and everyone is available not wearing 88 or 19. In a strange twist, the guys follow that up with some extended Bulls talk after Carl took the weekend to watch back-to-back losses against the Warriors and Jazz. Things are ugly on Madison right now but Barstool Chicago is here to get through it all. Also included, Grab Bag and Beefs because it's Red Line Radio don't forget to have a couple beefs!

  • Bears Lose + Electric Chair Review + AJ Pierzynski

    The Barstool Chicago boys are absolutely devastated after a soul crushing defeat this weekend. No one saw it coming and there's loads of reaction packed into this week's episode. It's hard to pin blame on one player, so they say, but that doesn't stop us from going through each and every person who should be accountable for that devastating loss. At the same time, the boys do every they can to keep it together and stay big picture. This was the best season for Bears fans arguably in 12 years, arguably since 1985 because of how much fun we had along the way. After that, Carl and Dave do some baseball talk as they get ready for their seasons. Dave brings on good friend of the program AJ Pierzynski who basically injects a shot of life into everyone in the room. AJ is the fucking man as evidence by his 26 minutes with the boys this week. After that they do some mild grabbag, obviously voicemails, beefs, big shoulders before closing with the world debut on Red Line Radio of Imma Buy You A Beef. It's a big week even if it sucks. We're happy to be here with you, holding your proverbial hair as you puke your guts out over this defeat. Stay strong Chicago. We got this!

  • Kings Of The North

    The Red Line Radio crew is All Gas No Brakes kind fired up over the Bears winning the NFC North Divsion. #12 looked like an absolute bitch in the process and the guys couldn't be more thrilled. Eddie is finally convinced and willing to admit this is a Super Bowl Bears team. The stars have aligned, and we call that the Red Line Radio difference. Elsewhere, the group celebrates Nagy's brilliance and offers him several beefs. Can the Bears close 12-4? Chief and Carl think so while Eddie has some interesting thoughts on the San Francisco game. WhiteSoxDave drops some knowledge bombs on the hot stove while Carl blames the Cubs bumps for a slow winter. Chief is - you guessed it - not happy with the Blackhawks leadership. There's a grabbag, a lot of beefs and big shoulders, 3 solid voicemails and a fuck load of happiness. We are champions. We are kings. We are coming for the Lombardi. ALL GAS NO BRAKES!

  • Jewel Osco Live Show With Big Cat

    The Red Line crew pulls off the improbable upset of selling out a bar at a Jewel Osco in honor of the single most premium Spirit brand on the planet, New Amsterdam Vodka. This is the full audio from the night's event, which we're turning over to you as a random bonus episode that was recorded, edited and produced from the bottom of our collective hearts. There's nothing related to Barstool Chicago that doesn't get covered in the live show including how Big Cat started the site, why Eddie really loves a Jewel-Osco, how long it would take to eat an aisle of cereal and the list goes on. Thanks to the filthy animals who showed up last Thursday, and thanks to those who are willing to retroactively consume this content. We love you, we love making this stuff and we hope you can visit us at our next live show on TBD at TBD. Most importantly, ALL GAS NO BRAKES!

  • Peanut Tillman + Shams Charania

    ***Live Show w/ Big Cat this Thursday 12/6 7pm @ the Jewel Osco on Clark & Division in Old Town*** The Red Line crew is back in action after the Bears dropped a heart breaker to the G Men. Eddie is understandably disappointed while Carl and Chief actively try to find silver linings for a deep Super Bowl Run. In other news, White Sox Dave declares War on KFC after a big, BIG weekend at the Big Ten Championships. The boys also nab Shams Charania to cover his breaking story from Monday that the Bulls fired Fred Hoiberg. Elsewhere, Chief isn't happy with Stan Bowman for a lot of reasons and the recent media tour isn't doing that ANY favors. Dave and Carl turn on the stove for a hot minute to talk some baseball before an extremely limited grab bag and abbreviated award session. Most importantly, this show is brought to you by Miller Lite! Please drink responsibly, but also please only drink Miller Lite from now on. Thanks. ***Live Show w/ Big Cat this Thursday 12/6 7pm @ the Jewel Osco on Clark & Division in Old Town***

Around the Kreutz interview, the crew breaks down all their 1st Place Bears excitement, Hawks trade, baseball offseason updates, etc. There's a grab bag, some butchered segments, lost voicemails and a few other things! ***+ Live Show Next Thursday 12/6 7pm @ Clark & Division Jewel Osco***

  • Eddie Olcyzk Part 1 + Bears Roll + Behind The Scenes Of Dente Pizza Reviews

    The Red Line crew is proud to present it's first Beefsgiving, a new holiday recognizing a beef sandwich meal before recording your Thanksgiving podcast in Chicago. Or something like that. Anyways we got some amazing behind the scenes stories from Eddie and WSD about their 4-hour beef/pizza/hot dog excursion this past Friday night in Chicago. Spoiler Alert: Eddie hates spoilers and Dave was full of them Friday. It's an argument/rant from Eddie for the ages. Next up is first place Bears talk about and why this team is ready to bury our insecurities as Bears fans once and for all. Cody Parkey obviously gets a few beefs. Carl then does some brain pretzeling on why the Cubs could land Harper, but likely sacrificing something major in the process that would leave Cubs fans shook. Next, Chief and WSD sit down with EDDIE OLCZYK, a certified living legend, to recap the state of the Blackhawks in Part 1 of a lengthy 2 part series with Edzo. It's an amazing interview loaded with the stuff we love to bring you: laughs, insight, familiarity. Per usual the boys close it down with a grab bag, some segments, a few beefs and of course voicemails!!!
