Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show - How Many Bears?: Jeremy Allen White, Bruce Levine

Episode Date: May 27, 2026

Leila Rahimi and Mark Grote held the segment How Many Bears?

Bears. It's time for how many bears? Dylan Thineman and his family, all dressed in bears gear. This was incredible. In 2006, they are all wearing a Brian Erlacker jersey except for the littlest thaneman. She has a Bears cheerleader uniform. Aw, baby.

And there's two dogs in the picture. Dylan Thineman has just gone from 3.5 bears to 6.3. Bears. That's a big jump right there. How many bears? I love the spirit of this that a bunch of guys, most of whom are not from Chicago, are like, let's get down with the Chicagoness here. They're getting indoctrinated. Let's get into it. So the fact that they are embracing Chicagoness with the Mallort, I'm going to give them 7.1 bears. It could have been more if Tommy Hadoviel. I heard it. The Haw brought up the old style. The old style was rejected right off the top there. I didn't like the I didn't like the way he skim past the old style, or it could have been more bears, but

7.1 bears for the Mallort and the Cubs as a collective. How many bears? I said it was going to be controversial. On 104 to score. And the Cubs never drank the Lord again. They haven't had any since we've done this segment. Every Wednesday, we want to do it. How many bears?

You can also submit your questions if you think Mark needs to reward a situation or a person or somebody who qualifies bears. By the way, do you know what I've learned on the lovable reunion? I don't know how much of it you've watched with Anthony Rizzo and David Ross. And honest to God, I'm not just saying it. It's awesome. It's so good. It's amazing storytelling.

Oh, it's like they are unfiltered for the most part. And one of the things that Anthony Rizzo admitted and revealed, and I mentioned it to them on inside the clubhouse, was that when they got into bad slumps and things were going poorly? A couple shots. A couple shots before the game. Mix it up. Mix it up, yo.

So I'm just saying. We'd be mad at the Cubs if they got the Mallort back before the game. Interesting. Can we tell? Can we tell a player who's most likely to have had Mallort during the game? You know, we both know who would be most affected by a Mallort shot. And that would be the guy that played Centerfield. PCA would be bouncing all over the plates.

What's up, everybody? Still my favorite, tipsy PCA after. What's up, everybody? All right, how many bears? What are we doing here? What's my first, how many bears? Your first how many bears is, number one, what is the baseline amount of bears for Bruce Levine? And then number two, after doing this highly anticipated inside the clubhouse show with him on Saturday.

How many does he get after the show? Okay. We're going to roll the tape here to refresh people's memories here. So we are allotting, or at least I am looking at my scale to potentially, we'll see, give bears to Bruce Levine. Here's what went down. The other part, the reason for the angst in May and even in April, is what you were asking about earlier to Ron Kumar, and that's the Milwaukee Brewers. You can't get over this team. You cannot get over this team that has been biting you since Craig Counsel was there, and then subsequently with Pat Murphy in the recent years to a dramatic way.

Just remember, Green Bay sucks. They do suck, and we can all agree on that. We can do a two-hour show. Yeah, let's go. We can do two hours on a three-based sucks. me still not understanding how that breaks out at a White Sox Cub game. Okay? I don't get it.

I understand it when Milwaukee's here, okay? It's beautiful, Bruce. There's nothing beautiful because I can't understand it. Oh, are you mad because football got injected into your baseball game? Yes, I am. Yes, I am. But I don't understand where Sox and Cubs fans actually have a moment together during a Sox and Cubs game. Yeah.

forget about it, okay? So, wait, you weren't moved by that? I was moved off of the fact that I'm watching a baseball game, and you're bringing in the NFL. It's like, well, we are sorry, you have your time. It starts the end of July, it goes forever until February 8th. This is baseball season. It's my season.

It's baseball fan season. Don't give me Green Bay sucks, all right? Cancel the Bears segment. I had a Bears segment plan. It means nothing. for this. It's not going to happen now. Underrated, even though we heard this yesterday,

it was Bruce saying, it goes on forever until February 8th, which definitively is not forever. You actually gave it a deadline. Yeah, but we just talked to Mike Florio talking NFL. It never stops. It goes on forever. Until February 8th.

It's my season. And actually, and in fact, baseball goes on forever. This is a very complicated case on my how many bears scale because Bruce did begin the topic by saying Green Bay sucks. And then people just chatted right away. And then so we got some people at Gallagher Way. That was at Gallagher Way inside the clubhouse on Saturday. Comes for a cure day. That's where we were.

That's what that was from. So I give him. He gets his five bears because he's from here automatically. And then I boosted him. When he brought up the Green Bay sucks, I got him up to 6.5 bears. but that little rant about what galvanized this city at a white at white socks park and 40,000 Cubs and white socks fans delightfully enjoy, instead of punching each other in the face. Yeah. They are chanting Green Bay sucks.

Bruce, you lost some bears, man. You're down to 5.2 bears. So he's just barely holding on, man. Pun intended. Oh, no. Yeah. It's a bear. You have almost lost your grip, sir.

You need to improve your attitude about bears and football in this town if you want to get some percentage bears back. 5.2. Wow. Okay. So we have some rulings on our Twitch mob chat. Oh, really? Twitch.com. Twitch.combe slash the score Chicago.

One Twitch mob member, Slim Jimithy 101, which is a hilarious name. Way too many bears for Bruce here. 5.2 is too many? I don't think so. I mean, point two is not a ruling. I've heard you issue. I don't know that I've ever heard a point two of a bear. Probably not.

What is that a foot? Yeah. I mean, like, again, he gets the, I don't know, maybe I have to amend my rulings. Does he get five automatic bears just because he's from here? Or can I take those away too? He works for the score. Like, he does a lot in sports for the community.

Yeah. Works for Marquis. I feel like that's at least five bears. He's been here longer than any of us and he's still doing work at a very high level. In our stupid industry. In our stupid industry. Right. And he works his ass off.

All right. 5.3. Yeah. 5.3. 5.3 bears. Done. What about the people who chanted Green Bay sucks in the background there? Oh, that is, wow.

I'm going to, hmm, that's an eight bear situation. The fact that they were just able to pick it up in the spur of the moment right there. That's eight bears. I also have an audible to enter into the chat since we're here. You know who I thought of immediately was your conversation with, our friend Antoine Randall L, who was drafted by the Cubs and then didn't allow Clyffe Raymond to wear the socks hat, and then decided that everybody was coming together for one good cause, as he put it, bringing peace to our nation. And do you know that what Caleaf Raymond was then wearing?

He had, I believe, it was a Decatur Staley's hat. Yeah, you love that hat. I mean, that's pretty cool if I got that right. But the fact that Antoine Randallel L replaced it with the Bears hat, I, so you're asking me how many bears for Antoine Randallel for that? I feel like Antoine Randallel L gets many. He's from here. But just him saying that they came together for a good cost.

Antoine Randallel essentially ruling as like bear counsel. Yeah. As a bear. However, I got, we're strict here. He had, he did, I informed him about, he did not know about the Green Bay Sucks chance breaking out at Rayfield. Like the fact that I had to tell him that, he loses some bears. or he doesn't get as many.

But he's concentrating because, as Bruce said, football season goes on forever. Okay, so now I'm giving him back for his strong focus on bears. Yeah, Antoine Randallel is focused on the task. Seven bears for Antoine Randallel L. Well, for that situation, I feel like he gets more than that, just being himself. He's from here. He defected against Detroit and went with Ben Johnson. Layla, I'm going to tell you what I told the text her last week.

All decisions are final. They're not. You took bears back from Jack Sandborn, because. because he left even though it wasn't his fault. What if I told you about calling me out on the radio? How dare you bring facts into this conversation? Okay, 7.2. Just for you, Leila. 7.2 for Antoine, Randall, L. Yohel, what up?

630 is a very important question. 3-1-2-644-67. Is average bar bears above replacement? Bear. Bar. 5.0. Oh, that's a good question right there. And I appreciate the bar.

It's kind of like 100 is weighted runs, created plus baseline. That's like you're a dude. I guess. Like a big deal. Yes. And I appreciate the bar because Lawrence Holmes, shout out. Alex bars, we used to always, Lawrence and I thought that was funny, we would say bars instead of bears. It is.

It was our little thing. Yeah, bars, bears, bears, another Notre Dameer. So, okay. Yeah. Yeah, if you have, how many bears questions, feel free. 312, 644, 67, 67. But there was another, unless you had a different audible you wanted to give us. No, no, I have to, I have a confession.

Please. I think that I ran into quite literally a How Many Bears scenario. Now, this was not this week. This was earlier in the month of May. I was not, I was, I was, I was mall walking past people on the riverwalk in Chicago. Beautiful place to hang. Because I like walking, but I don't like walking at a leisurely pace when I'm trying to like get around people. Right.

You know, I get, and I'm not fast. So let's not, let's not say I'm wanting here. You have a very good pace. You are a quintessential city of Chicago girl walking pace. Hell yeah. Let's go. You mean Marshall have discussed this. Yes.

But when it comes to like a running pace, no. Like I'll spread here and there when the workout calls for it. But then I'm like, I'm not doing that again. But you know, I run because I'm bad at it and because it's good for me. It's basically like the vegetables of my life. Cardio is good. So all of that said, I was zooming past some people and facing me was a man with curly reddish hair and mirrored shades shirtless in the vicinity of my height,

also trying to zoom past people. And that's when I realized I had come face to face with Jeremy Allen White. Bear. Bear, the bear. So close that I could smell him. He smelled like every dude who is working out. And I was like, holy crap. He needs some bear claw.

Or no. And he's ridiculously in shape and probably has a smaller waist than I do. But like, it was him. Like, I knew it was him. I could tell I've watched enough episodes of the bear based on height and whatever else. Actors are always typically shorter than you think. Is he under six feet tall? Under six feet tall?

Yeah. Yeah, he's probably 5'7. Wow. You know, so somewhere around there. But he was zooming. So I ran into the bear. The bear. Carmen Bearsado is the character's name on the bear.

So am I giving you bears or him? The situation. The whole situation. It doesn't have to be an individual. I give him, by the way, because he's from New York, I believe. He's a New Yorker. Let's see. I believe so.

And I think he's acted here for a really long time. Think about shameless. Yeah, I'm going to guess that he has a house in L.A. And that he's from New York, if I'm not mistaken. But you are right. He's a hell of an actor. He's a great actor. He's from Brooklyn, according to the But he is 35.

35 years old. He has, because I've read about him. He has. 5-7. Nailed it. There it is. Which means he's probably 5.6. I know people my height.

I'm not 5.7 by any means. Let's not go there. He has, and this is one of the things that I love, and I mean this. I love people that are not from Chicago that discover Chicago and love Chicago and can't get Chicago out of their system, especially if you are from the metropolis of New York City, which he is. And then you can come and just be like, wow, this is a, this is, I never knew how amazing Chicago was. And he has said stuff like that.

And you said, like, he's been here for two. shows now. He's of the people here. He is of the people. And he was Kerry von Eric in the Iron Claw, which means a lot to me. Okay. Wow, the bears are starting to pile up at this. But the whole scenario, that's in the 7.8 range.

7.8 bears. Because I ran into the bear. You ran into the bear. And we were both trying to do the same thing, which was get around the people. Yes. Right. Right. It was perfect that you were doing something Chicago-esque and that he was as well and his love for Chicago and his

Celebrity status, 7.8 bears. Also, he's fast as hell. That guy's in shape. So, go on with your bad self, Jeremy Allen White. Thanks, Jeremy. We love you. And the entire bear cast, because they do a tremendous job. And if you're listening, Jeremy, call us. Well, we had a member of the bear cast actually call our show. Oh, you did.

We did. Like randomly? Yes, the man who plays a Chicago party aunt. Oh, that's right. That's right. That was with you and Dan, right? Yeah. A guy, a fellow by the name of Dan. Bernstein? Yes, yes. That was him. Chris Wittoski. And he is part of the bear cast.

Withowski. Wow, that name is 10 bears. Very nice guy. You know, very proud of being Chicagoan. So, yeah, he's part of it. Okay. Yeah, he's, he is high on the bear scale. Chicago party at it. Does he still exist? I don't know, because he's doing these progressive commercials and the bear. Bear. But he's great. You can follow him on Instagram. I do. And a very friendly guy. You got 10 bears from a texter, by the way. Who does? You did. That's 10 bears for Layla.

I need to be an actor and people won't know my height, L.O.L. Yeah, I can definitely overestimate your height because everybody's taller than me. I have found a special story for Mark Grody. My algorithm giveth. We're going to listen to it next.
