00:00 Trahimi and Grotie on 104.3, the score Bears and Patriots along the lakefront tonight. Coming up in about 15 minutes from right now, Danny Parkins from Fox Sports. One will join us. It's a celebratory day for Danny. So we'll party with Danny at 1 o'clock. I can't believe he's doing this on his 40th birthday. That's right. Young little Danny is, he's a man.
00:22 He's all grows up and he's all grows up. And we know he's got takes on the bears. He's got takes on things that he's been listening to on the score. He's going to do a take audit, I think. Well, why would you be surprised at that, Lalo, that this is his birthday, and the main thing he wants to do is get his takes off. Yes, yes. I like being a creative outlet for young Daniel Parkins.
00:43 I'm not so young anymore. No, he's still young. He's a man. He's a man. He is 40. We got a boomer. Yeah, yeah. He officially qualifies.
00:54 Anybody over the age of, what, 38? The most Gen X thing ever is that the Gen Zeres, their own choice? children call them boomers. It's hilarious. The forgotten generation, forgotten yet again. I used to be offended by that when people call me a boomer or whatever, like, because I'm Gen X, but I'm like, oh, I just realize anybody over the 38 who says something that people don't like or that sounds old, you're a boomer.
01:16 So I don't feel bad anymore. And get off my lawn. That's right. 312, 644, 67, 67, we have been a threat to take phone calls, and we will now pay off those phone calls. We start with Dave in... Lockport. He's not here, man.
01:32 Oh, he's not. Dave, are you there? Dave's not here. Hi, Dave, you are here. You're on the score. Movie reference. This is Danny, actually. No, there's no Dave. Oh, how did I do that?
01:41 I'm sorry, Danny. Jesus, Ray. Oh, my goodness. Excuse yourself, Ray. So Dave wasn't here. All right, hi, Danny. How's going, guys? I just got a little
01:51 fun thing for tonight's game. We know Kevin Byard on that other side, right? Yes, sir. Who's going to burn him? Dave, Yon Thomas. Oh, okay. You're going for the big one today. Ben Johnson got it up the sleeve.
02:04 Kevin Byard said it himself. Get a man coverage, single high safety. We buy weak uses for Xavieron Thomas, zero to two to six to eight to nine for snap counts. He's going to use them tonight. We're going to burn him. I like it. I like the thought. I like the wrinkle.
02:19 Now I'm really bad. Mad we got your name wrong. That was a good call right there. Yeah, I'm sorry, Danny. I apologize. But Danny, I just want to get this on the record because the whole theme of this segment was intended to be. what are you worried about in this Bears game? Danny, you're not worried about anything, are you?
02:34 Guys, I completely understand that. There is nothing to be worried about for this game. We know the Bears are going to win. Thursday night football, Soldier Field, Caleb Williams and Rose Drag May. The Bears are going to win. Ben Johnson wins these games. We know that now.
02:46 This isn't the Bears of the past. They're going to win. The only question is how are they going to do it? And I think you outlined it well, sir. He's producible as well. This guy's got a future in this little business if he wanted. Those Danys, man, those Danys, they know what they're doing. Not worried at all. But, you know,
03:01 we have not mentioned that name one time this week. Xavier on Thomas. I like it. I like a little sneaky X-Factor. Amen. Amen. Let's go to Gary, who is hanging out on the south side. Gary, what's cooking, man? Are you worried about anything? Hey, how are you guys doing? Yeah, you know, the
03:19 worry thing, you know what? I think the game is going to prove to be itself. What I was going to say was the fact that the first game I ever went to, an NFL game, was against the Patriots. And that was Jim Plunkett's second year. And then I went to another Patriot game, and Drew Brees was a quarterback just before Tom Brady.
03:40 And I was sitting in 104, and I remember through the tunnel, Drew was walking past. And I said, hey, Drew, you're going to be a good quarterback in this league. And he pumped his fist up at me. And I was like, I was like really happy. But as far as a nice game, I think the interesting thing, like was mentioned with Kevin Breyer, And, you know, it's really interesting thing about, you know, the NFL or sports, when people have been traded, you get personal relationships and then you know a little insight about what's going on. So I think it would be a fun game. In fact, I would even be there, but the prices just keep getting more and more expensive.
04:17 So I think I'll watch it on Prime video. So, Gary, you're not concerned at all. No, I think it's, you know, I'm an NFL guy. People will say, I'm from the south side of Chicago, but they say, hey, you Cubs or socks. I'm like, hey, I'm NFL. I like to see the Packers losing the Bears win. I like it, man. Hey, man, I like, you know, it's perfect.
04:38 With Dicka being honored tonight. Midday thoughts. And nobody is worried. Hey, what's there to be worried about? It's the Bears. Come on. They're four and through it or rolling. They're on their way.
04:47 They had their losses. That's it. They're on their way. They had their losses already. I just thought, Gary, he's like, hey, ask me if I'm Cubs or socks. He's like, I'm NFL. My first bear is. game was 1982.
04:58 I remember. I was there. Also, nobody's NFL except Roblo. Boblo. Atlanta Falcons. Steve Bartkowski was the quarterback. No, I mean, Rob, but Rob, you guys to know what I'm saying. The hat.
05:12 Roblo had the NFL hat. Famously, yes, at a game, an NFL game, wearing an NFL logo hat. Like, who does that? Go NFL. You know what that is? It's like somebody asking who that guy's girlfriend is, and he's like, you know, I like, you know, I like women. Like, that's not just.
05:27 Pick a team. I'm rooting for fun. Yeah, yeah, that's it. That's it. You're not going to the game tonight, are you, Bute? No, I'm not. You're not to go to the game. Yeah.
05:36 He's a slut. A threat. A threat. Dump it, dump it. No, you don't have to dump it. I did. Oh, you did? Yeah.
05:44 I'm just, you call me that. Oh, my God. I've been dumped like five times in this calendar year. I've got to stop. Let's go to Mark in Michigan. Save the show. Can we go to Mark? Or did I mess up?
05:54 Did the system mess up? Oh, go for it. Hi, Mark. you're on the score. Hello there. How are you, too? We're doing well, can't you tell? Yeah, it's Bears game day and what more could we ask for.
06:07 But to answer your question, I really don't have any concerns with the Bears going forward from this point. I feel like our coaches got things in order. And once they got the boys back, led by Caleb and the O line, I really think they're going to roll. And I think a lot of us are some that are the other listeners that I listen, playing a little conservative. I really think the Bears are going to have their way with the Patriots today at home. I really do.
06:39 I think Dennis Allen is going to adjust like he does. And, you know, Ben is just going to, you know, just liven things up. That's how I'm feeling. After the shutdown of the Falcons last week, I'm really, really confident. And I just can't wait to see this game how it reveals. Give me a score. Mark, give me a score. What do you got?
07:02 How big is the deficit going to be? Bro, let me tell you, man, in honor of Dicca today and the whole Super Bowl, 46 to 10, would be wonderful. But, but yeah, I'm not going to go that high, Grody. I'm not going to go that high. I'm going to say 31 to 10. Okay. Wow.
07:24 Did we start the meatball machine already? Yes, I think we actually, somehow we rolled into Meatball machine today. Great call, Mark. Thank you. I've been working at this radio station for a while, and this is the first time I can ever remember that nobody is doubting the Bears in any way, shape, or form. I love Bears' bands. This is a very interesting sample of thoughts today.
07:48 This is the Ben Johnson effect? I think you should respect the opponent who went to the Super Bowl. Bowl for the record. But this is a great, great temperature check of where Bears fans are, because they'll tell you when they're feeling pessimistic and cynical and the sky is falling. Lord knows we've had too much of that in the last decade. And to be in a place where, as you said, the Super Bowl runner up, one of the best quarterbacks in the league in Drake May, and we have caught, like we didn't even get to the full bank, but Ray's been screening these guys, none of them have concerns about tonight. Take one more. Why not? Daniel,
08:24 understand. We got Andre. Andre, Andre, Andrew, Andrew's a perfect person because Andre isn't concerned necessarily, but it's contingent upon you. He has a question for you. Both of you. Oh, okay. Andre, what's up, buddy? How's it going, everybody? We're the best.
08:41 So, born and raised out of Chicago, but I grew up a Patriots fan. Ooh. Palpitations. Yeah, first game, first game was back in 96. I got family in Boston. Okay. All right. It happens. My, my to you guys is, are you guys not worried about the Patriots defense? I mean, they did beat the
08:59 bills and they had no defensive starters in that game. And this game against you guys, we only have one defensive starter that's out. Well, yeah, the nickelback. Yeah. I think the Patriots defense is a formidable opponent. And we've gotten a couple texts about it, too, people asking like, well, you know, why aren't you guys crediting the Patriots defense? I don't necessarily think that we're not. I just think it's more about like can the bears, can the bears neutralize whatever defensive opponent is on the other side if they're going to run this ball control offense like this? Elijah Ponder has five and a half sacks. I do, I mentioned Christian Gonzalez. He scares me. He should scare everybody. He's one of the best cornerbacks in the league. Marcus Jones is a good cornerback too.
09:43 Marcus Jones is making a lot of tackles. And Carlton Davis, so out. And he's excellent too. He is their nickelback. He's there. Kyler Gordon. He's out. So no, I, I, I, I, We have a healthy respect for the Patriots, but the vibe from the fans is they're going to beat the hell out of the Patriots. The spread is three, and I'm going to respect that part of it. All right. But I think it's the, if you're looking at it with the offense through the offense lens, advantage via just health alone right now is in the Bears favor.
10:16 I agree with that. I agree. Danny Parkins is going to be on this show next. He used to work here. He is now a national guy for FS1, and he has takes. And he has takes on things that have been going on on this radio station as well. We have a birthday present for one, Dan Parkins. Oh, we have a present for him?
10:35 Sure. I think we just need to let it rip for 20 minutes. Like, just wind him up, let him go. It's about to go down on Rahimi and Grotie on 1043, the score.
