On ESPN 1000 and streaming on the ESPN Chicago app. With Chris Blackin for Cap, I'm Jay Hood. We've got Jay, we've got Jay Moore. We've got you for a three hour ride here on this Friday morning. What open full lines for you at 312-332-ESPN-332. 377-776 is our tall phone number. Chris, good to see you. - Good morning, Jonathan. How about that? Two baseball teams in town winning baseball games yesterday. All right, feeling good. Great vibes on a Friday. What else went on last night? - But first, (laughs) - Previously on Cap and G hood, we turned to the thread that's been happening on the show as of late. - Yeah. - And that is David Kaplan, who's off today, because I was out celebrating with Mindy 20 years. Take that. - Congrats. - Rolling Stones. - That's great. - I'm gonna have seven drinks. He was specific on it. - Seven drinks. - Seven, yes. He was very specific on the seven. - That's a lot. - Which tells you that guy's not a drinker. - Well, for Cap, it's a lot. - Yeah, but no, but when you name exactly how many you're going to have, that says what-- - Gonna have four drinks. - Yeah, you mentioned seven. - Okay, seven. - So, the thread in the show was going back to last weekend. He went to Toronto on a golfing excursion. Just rubbing elbows with ex players and had a good time. Supposed to come back to Chicago, did not have both bags. Golf bag, of course, the old clothing bag. He had the anniversary gift for his wife, Mindy, in the bag. Now, every day we've been checking on this bag. One of the bags is there, and the other bag has been in Toronto, outside the Timmy Hose, the Tim Hortons. - Sure, there was a air tag. - Air tag in the bag. - Air tag in the bag. - You've been able to take a look at it. He's hit refresh many times. He was taught how to refresh it. - Yeah, I heard. - So, he knows how to be able to refresh the old air tag. - The whole having another phone in the area thing really threw a wrench into the plan yesterday. I heard the confusion. - Yes. (laughs) And I just laid back. I just laid out just so that you could hear the screeching wheels in his head turning, trying to figure it out. - Just like. - But my phone's here. - Wait a minute. - Another phone will take that. (audience laughs) Take that actually works in so many different ways. It's like, in his mind, it's like, "Wait a minute, take that." - Yeah. - So, the latest J-more is that he has not received his bag. As of last night, today is Friday, today is Friday, and he has still not received that bag. Now, we've had people on the case, from on the seventh floor here. - Really? - And outside of the station, and people listening in Canada, they're in still no sign of his bag, as of late last night. - That stinks. - Now, you know Drake said he can get his bag back, but he needs to know who was his favorite rapper. - Oh, no. (laughs) - Well, would Cap say Drake? - No. - It doesn't seem to be much of a Kendrick guy. - No, I don't think he knows the Kendrick. - I love him from the Negro League, Bob Kendrick. (audience laughs) Bob Kendrick does a great job. He's a curator. He's on all the platforms. - Is that Kendrick? - No, not Bob Kendrick. (audience laughs) - It's fantastic. That's a way to start the show, I love that. So there's that. All right, so that's one of the worst things that can happen. That's why you don't check your bags. That's why if you can get by with just the carry on, you do it every single time, because stuff like this happens. And then you'll also see the videos where people are waiting to board the plane, and they see the baggage handlers tossing the suitcases and the golf clubs with no regard, just onto the tarmac. - It's tough, trust. - Trying to get it onto the plane, but unfortunately, I know there's hard work in people at O'Hare and at Midway, but you don't trust it. You don't ever trust it. So unfortunately, Cap's still missing his bag. Mindy will have to wait for her gift 'cause it's in the bag. - That's something though. I mean, from Toronto to Chicago, he cannot get his bag. And he's saying, "It's still outside the Timmy Hortons." I said, "Wow, that's something." I mean, that's frustrating. I understand that, but again, this goes back to last Saturday. - It's Friday, the master doesn't have his bag. - That's pretty tough. - Oh, that's a tough go. Especially a guy like Cap. A man of means, you would think he would have a connection there. He has a connection everywhere. I listen to this show, our great listeners of this radio station. Cap's got a guy everywhere. - Yes, correct. - Right, like he's got a, doesn't he have a Whole Foods informant who gives him information about sports? Doesn't he have a guy that he sees in the Whole Foods parking lot, who tells him things about sports? - Yes, and also when the sumo oranges are in. - Yeah, right, right. He's got an orange guy. - He's got an orange guy, yes. - He's got a guy everywhere. How does he not have a guy at the airport? - See, that's the frustrating part. And that's why you are not privy to the show that I, at me and Shay and J-Moor. - Oh, no, we're in it. - Oh, they're not happy with this behind the scenes? - Oh, there's a show. There's a show. Now, see, you know, it's interesting around here where, you know, we had to have these cameras around here. Like, there's a camera on Shay and J-Moor on YouTube, YouTube.com, look for ESPN Chicago. There, and subscribe, there's cameras in here. All these cameras and all these mics around here, right? - Yeah. - But the real show a couple of days ago was at 6.40 in the morning, where he's on hold. I'm talking to someone from Sri Lanka. - You know, that kind of thing. And he's just going off, just working blue. I mean, he's happy to go lucky for the most part, but when his bag is not in front of him and he has no power to get it, watch out. Mount Kaplan erupts. - Really? - Okay, well, yeah, listen, it's frustrating. - Giddy bag. - Okay, well, I don't really disagree with him. - I don't either. - If I had the choice, I wouldn't check a bag, but that's on him. I've checked golf clubs. You can't carry on golf clubs. - Correct. - But you kind of go into that, a golf club, golf bag. You know that if it takes a while to get to you, you might be okay, as long as you got there for your golf trip. But the bag itself, your clothes, the gift to Mindy, that's the key here. - That's the key. - There's an anniversary gift in the bag. That's a tough one. That's a tough pill to swallow. - We turn to Shay Norley now for the US-Canadian rate. Now, I think you asked him about the money situation 'cause I'm thinking like you can get your anniversary gift in good old USA, good old Chicago, but you asked him about the exchange rate, right? - Yeah, I think he said it's like one and a half, so you gain money going over there right now. - Makes sense. - About $1.50 on the dollar. - I'm thinking that because he works here, whatever that gift was, he said, he mentioned it was a jacket and something else like, could've got it at the airport, could've got it over here. - I'm telling you, he got it at duty-free. There's, he was taxed for them. - Yeah, probably. That makes sense, I mean. - That's why it's such a big deal. - I don't, just for me, I'm not pitching a penny in that spot. I mean, it's like, it's like whatever. I need something that's convenient for me. Now, look, if it's like when I go out of town and I bring you guys like stuff from, you know, from where I'm from, you know, - From your travels. - From my travels. That's fine. - Yes. - Even if it's internationally, if it's in the bags in the bag, but something like an anniversary gift, that's a tough spot. That's tough. - Yeah, I feel like, I don't know, and many guys listening to this show right now might disagree with me. It seems a little last minute. You know, the anniversary, you know, it's on the horizon, you got a plan. And it seems like if you take a trip the week before and then you get the gift, feels a little last minute to me. I think there needs to be better planning because theoretically, unless you saw something that was just out of this world, - Yes. - you had to have, you probably should have had the anniversary gift purchased by last weekend. - It's thoughtful, Chris. It is thoughtful for him to do that. Yes, but what I'm saying is, like, whatever it is, I feel like you could have got that state side. - Right, right. Not a duty free. That's what I'm saying. - With a bottle of booze and whatever else you get there, I tend to agree with you. I kind of feel as if this is something a little last minute. Maybe he forgot he was in the airport, looking ahead at the calendar. - Oh, stones. Yeah, anniversary. - Yes. - And then he walks over and goes past the bookstore and the Hudson news, whatever they have at the airport. - Yes. - And decides to get a jacket. A jacket at the airport. - Bought her some smut at the Hudson news. - Yeah, right. What else can you buy there? Hudson news comes in clutch at the last minute, tell you right. It does come in clutch. - We're all some smut for your flight, just to stop by Hudson news. - Where else can you buy a magazine for $22? - Playgirl, 50th anniversary. - Right, right. - Could you put this in a bag for me? - This is good. - Clan Destine, don't end one's seat when I'm doing it. Take that. - He's buying romance novels. He's trying to hide them all. - Right, I love these. - Take that. - I mean, this is great. - That Hudson news, and it's everywhere, it's in every airport. I mean, it comes in clutch. I mean, you're on the run, right? And you're like, "Ah, gotta get that last second magnet for the fridge." - Yeah, it's $7, but you know, it's a keepsake, you know? - That's a thing. - Here's my other question. How long was this trip that he went on? A couple days. - Like four days, I think. - Yeah. - Four days? - Well, he worked my days. I think he was there Thursday, Friday, Saturday, he was back here Sunday. - Did you guys find out from him why he checked a bag for four days? - He said he likes to walk freely through the airport. - I do too. - Oh, come on, no. - I do like walking freely through the airport. - For four days? - Wow. - That's like, that's karma. That's like, you know. - You know, go to bed, karma. - I think it's, I think that's bad karma. I think that's testing the fate. (laughing) I think that's testing the fate of the airline industry. - Now, be careful now, we have a call today. - No, I'm saying cat, that to me is bad karma. So, Chris Black says it's bad karma, bad karma. - Craig would agree. If he's going somewhere for four days, I bet he's not checking a bag. - Of course not. - I guarantee you he's not. I went to Europe for 18 days and didn't check a bag. - I'm going to New Orleans next week for seven days. I'm not checking a bag. - Like, you're really putting a lot of faith in the airline industry for four days to check a bag. - Yeah. You know what, I, let me just tell you that I'm undefeated in the check in the bag. I've not had a bag lost. - God bless. - Again, I'm knocking on wood for Micah, everything, that I've never had a bag lost. - Okay, that, congratulations. - Yeah. - You should buy a lot of a ticket. - In 35 years of flying. - Yeah. - And one of them was spirit. So, that's the Lord looking after me there. - Oh, you checked a bag on spirit? - Yeah. - I thought they just doused in gasoline and lit it on fire when they got through the check. - No, I checked a bag, but I realized that my bag was actually hanging off the top of the aircraft. - You probably had to put it underneath too. - It's got bungee cords and a roof rack. - Guys, let me tell you, the closest thing to soul plane is spirit airlines. - Yeah. - I had no question about that. I mean, disco ball, you're actually, it's kind of like the L. You're just hanging out, you're holding on to a pole. - Yeah. - You're just like, whoa, whoa. - Not one of those nice new L trains either, but one of the old ones. - Yeah, me too, it's the closest thing to soul plane I've seen. - They're not a partner, right? Spirit? We're good? Yeah, I think we're good, right? - Check the spirit. - Yeah. - Of spirit airlines. - Spirit airlines is when you're younger, you do it once and then you never do it again. - That was a nice one, he said. - You realize why no one flies spirit. You do it once and that's it. - Yeah. - That was a nice one. - I was in the blind once, I canceled flights, coming back from Vegas, took the flight, took a spirit flight immediately. - The moment I sat down on the plane, regretted my decision. - Yeah. - Just spending the extra money. - Yeah. - But boy, for four days, you check a bag. - All right. - So man, that's just amazing, man. I mean, even Erica Badu is thinking about Cap this morning. - ♪ Like a lady ♪ - Yeah, I mean, it's just thinking about Cap right now. - Well, he had a good night last night. He had the stones, he had seven drinks. ♪ Like a lady ♪ ♪ Erica had lost your bed ♪ (laughing) - Seriously. ♪ By the lady ♪ - So that, there it is. I mean, so that's the latest, by the way, 'cause again, that's been a thread on the show. - Yeah. - And we've been wondering, 'cause it's just, for Cap, it's just like, again, he does not have the control. He does have a lot of connections in a lot of different ways. - I mean, it does. - So I mean, it is ridiculous that this man has not been able to get his bag yet. - Whoa, whoa, it stinks. - I mean, it's really the worst. - For the airlines to claim they have it, but they can't get you the bag, they can't get it there, all they do is logistics. How can they not get the bag there? That stinks. ♪ Cap can't get his bag ♪ (laughing) - That's right. (laughing) ♪ Last night ♪ ♪ Thought I was gonna get my bag ♪ (laughing) - It did not, it did not. (laughing) - Oh man. - Greg and Mundelein is with us here on V one O three. Hello, Greg. - Good morning. - Hi. - How you guys doing? - Great, thank you. All right, so I think I don't wanna knock Cap when he's down, but his story seems a little fishy, 'cause if he bought it at the airport, was he on his way out of town, coming back home, or was it when he was going to Toronto? And when he flew in. I think it was when he was coming back home, he would have already checked his bag. - I think it was on his way out of Canada. I believe it was on the airport, on the way out of Canada to Chicago, I believe. - So wouldn't he have already checked his bag before he was in the airport for the duty free? - It's true. You'd check the bag before you go through security. But then if I'm not mistaken, Shay, so he was supposed to be back on Saturday and he was delayed and it came home Sunday, correct? I believe that was the case, yeah. - So his bag is just kind of lingering because he probably checked his bag, thought he was gonna be on this flight, and then he said he sat in the airport for six hours, and then never got home and it was Sunday. And there's the hook right there. You check your bag on Saturday, thinking you're gonna be home. You say the airport's six hours, you never get on the place. So now you have to stay someplace, and then turn around on Sunday and you're thinking, well, they took care of it, no, they did not. Now it's lost in the sauce. Is it not? - I don't know. No, I agree with you. And I'd also say we all know and love Cap and been around Cap for a long time. He can't sit idly for six hours doing anything. - I'm actually stunned my phone didn't ring during the six hours. - 'Cause, see, and this is how the purchases are made, right? He's doing all around the airport for six hours. And you know, like, I think the collective group that's here today, you sit down, you throw on some headphones, podcasts, music. You try and sleep, a little podcast, a little music, get something to eat, but he can't do that. And that's not a shot. He would admit he can't do, do, do, around. Like, he's moving around all over the place. - He's incapable of being alone and relaxing. - Exactly. - Totally incapable. - And six hours in an airport, you know, like, could you imagine watching him pace back and forth through terminals? Gotta get my steps in, take that. - There's a shame, but that man still hasn't had his bag yet, and that's just, that's a crime. - That's a tough break. - However, he has been able to connect to some of the operators, Shay, we were privy to that yesterday, that he was, there was an operator that kept his number. - Yeah, called him on his personal phone, left him a voicemail. - Was this a listener to the radio station? - No, but she believed that he made her very famous by talking about her on the radio. (laughing) - Oh, so he pulled the, he told her what he does for work. - I'm sure. - Wait, he told her that he was gonna talk about this on the radio, thinking the bag would appear? - Yeah, she started, I heard the message, I love it. He started the message with, hello Mr. Kaplan, you make me very famous, I'm all over the news. - All over the news. - I thought it was someone pulling his leg, I thought it was like a prank call. - So definitely a potential Hock Toa situation. - Ah, yes, for Cap, the old Hock Toa. - The situation for Cap, that he has stashed away. - All right, all right, coming up next, Hock Toa. - Coming up next, Chris thinks the station is missing you, opportunity, a big opportunity here. But explain what that opportunity is, coming up next. With Chris Black, Jonathan Hood with you, Captain Jay Hood, weekday morning, seven to 10. (upbeat music) - This is Cap and Jay Hood. They've beaten the traffic commute, so you don't have to. (upbeat music) - Oh, the ESPN Chicago. (upbeat music) - Cap and Jay Hood on Chicago's home for sports, ESPN 1000, and streaming on the ESPN Chicago app, here's hoping that you're gonna have a great Friday and a great weekend. We got shot or no shot, come away at a clock. Chris, you were mentioning in the meeting before the show, that you think that the station here at ESPN Chicago is missing an opportunity to do something, something new, something fresh. - Yeah, of course. I mean, last night, I think a lot of people, I consumed it. Did you watch the presidential debate last night? - Yes. - Yeah, so, you know, we're not gonna talk about the politics part of it, what disaster of an evening. But I think some of the stuff that is interesting is that I think this radio station's missing an opportunity. I feel as if we could have two individuals here on the staff run for office for ESPN 1000. And I feel if we select two individuals for each party to run for ESPN 1000 office, we could line up debates, we could have campaign ads, we could have the whole thing. This could take place in September, in October, leading into the fall and the presidential election. And I think it would be a lot of fun. I feel like that something that we're really missing is that we could really get into this. Each show could support the different candidates, we could have moderators, we could have debates, we could really build this. I mean, these could be live events. Could you imagine if we selected two individuals from this station to be at podiums at a live event, like say, you know, binnies, or wherever we go. And you have a live audience, a town hall situation, people asking questions. And the two have to debate each other. I think it would be a lot of fun for the radio station. - So more entertaining than what we saw last night around here. - Oh, absolutely, 100%. - Okay. - Don't you think it would be fun? I think it's a missed opportunity. - Actually, I do think that would be fun because this is kind of what we do anyway, but in that kind of setting. - Yeah, build it up. - You know, to be able to have your own microphone and your own little stanch in there over on the side, you got your paper, your notes, everything else. And then be able to have two minutes set to be at the end to be able to say your piece, you know, look right in the camera. Folks, folks, at the dinner table, you think about it, you want to vote for me. All the sports conversations, everything that goes on. This guy here to my left, like that kind of thing, right? - Wouldn't that be fun? - Yes. - I think we're missing an opportunity. I think we could get some partners on board. They could support the two different candidates, obviously support everyone overall. But I think it's something we could have campaign ads running on the station, you know, like listen to my show. Let's make the radio station great again, right? Like stuff like that, like it would all be a parody of real life because let's be, let's be honest. Last night was a disaster. But let's have a little fun with it in our realm, the sports world, ESPN 1000. I think we could elect two individuals to run for office. I think it could be a lot of fun, a lot of legs behind this. - And so I'm clear, the title is president of ESPN 1000? - Yeah, I mean, let's workshop it. I don't know, I just think they should run for office. - No, but it has to have a title though, I mean. Yeah, I mean, there's stakes, right? And like there's stakes in sports, there's stakes. - Yeah, it could be a one year term, right? - To be head of ESPN 1000. - Yeah, right, right, like we could crown that individual to be the leader of the station for one year. - Well, let me just tell you right now. - Wouldn't that be fun? - We turn to odds maker Shay Norling on this. I'm going your go plus 5,000. - Oh, you won, your go to run. - Wow. - Your goes plus 5,000? - Yeah, I think that would be the favorite. Your go would be great in the bid. - Plus 5,000? - Yeah, that's quite the shot. - What? - Yeah, I think your, you know, carms likeable, but listen, listen, carms likeable, he's not really offending anybody. - Harmon is likeable, I agree. - He tends to be decently put together. He might ask a few questions of the group while he's at the podium. You can't turn to someone and say, look it up, boys. - Can somebody check this for me, boys? - Did you guys know that that was a rule last night? Did you hear about this? So last night, neither candidate was allowed to make eye contact or to look to other members of their staff for advice during the debate. So as Shay is saying, you're up there at the podium, you're by yourself. - Yes. - You can't have notes, that was another rule. There were no notes allowed. You could have paper to write and you saw Biden a couple times, trying to lift the piece of paper to fold it behind the yellow pad. - Like me? - Yeah, yes. But it was like, I think it would be a lot of fun. - So, Shay is saying, carm? - Yeah, carm would be a good candidate. - I mean, but he'd be coarse. - But no one can look it up, boys. That's tough. That's the thing, like if he's gonna need some of, I believe that these small can't be on the side, looking things up. - I don't think the carms up there sweat and tugging at his collar. - Look it up, boys. I have the boys, is that right? Is that right? - You know, I think I'll be with the station 20 years. I said 19 is it 20? Is it 18? Is it 18? Is it 20? Is it 21? Look it up, boys. - There's no look it up, boys. You gotta know, like there is no look it up, boys. - That's my favorite part about being a producer is when there's a question asked of something that you can't really look up. - Yes. - But let's look into it. - Yes. - And that's not a specific carmen thing. There's multiple. - Oh yes. - People that do that at the station. I think that's always fun as a producer's mindset to be like, how the age am I supposed to look that up? - Well, great thing is the reason why that's been a bit and I've known this, I've known carmen for so long is that he wants to get it right. That's a thing. - Of course. - He always wants to get it right. So that's why. - There's good intentions behind it. - So that it starts to me, it's like, I think it's your goal is the favorite. I think Waddle is a favorite also. I just think that some of us that wouldn't want to do it though. I'd like, I'd like to be part of the cabinet. - I don't know if anyone's going to vote for me. - Well, Jonathan, I think-- - You're going to vote for me? - Yeah, you're likable. - Of course. I think, see, here's the problem. Your naming candidates that like, - What? - If we look at real life. - Yeah? - I think people dislike both, right? You could say that. - Yes. - Okay, so if you look at real life and you look at this situation, isn't necessarily the way you listed it off. - Oh, let's go with the most likable person. I don't know. Like, that's not how politics work. - That's true. - So you're saying cap versus Sylvie? - Now that, there's some legs there because I think we would have some great campaign attack ads-- - Oh yeah. - On each other, I love the idea of each of them cutting promos on each other. I think during a live debate, they would, Sylvie would go after them. That would be good, clean entertainment. Like, that would be, could you imagine a month of campaign attack ads? Sylvie on cap, cap on Sylvie, leading into the first debate between cap and Sylvie. You know how fun that would be? That would be great. - Oh boy. - Each show building it up, all the other shows-- - My fellow Chicago ads. (laughing) It has come to my attention, right? - Yeah, that would be interesting. - I think it would, I think it would be good. - I think there's a missed opportunity from the radio station. I think Sylvie and Cap should run for ESPN 1000 office. I think we should have a round of debates, three of them. I think we should have campaign ads. I think we should do the whole thing. I think it would be a lot of fun. - I agree. And the attack ads, Chris. The attack ads-- - The attack ads, yes. David Caplin believes your occult. He's flippin' with your mental health concerns. - Right. - With the drop. - Get off the roads, check into the hospital, get your head checked. - Is this what you want? Or your radio station? - He still remains as fan how you want a fan. - Right. - Yes. - How great would that be? - Yes. - We could have a debate presented by the Carmen and Yurko show, where Carmen and Yurko are the moderators. I think that would be a lot of fun. I think you, Abdul and I could combine, have a tag team there, where the three of us are moderating a debate. We could have a live event. I'm sure listeners would like to come out and watch Sylvian Cap go at each other. I think there's a lot to this. I don't know. I don't see text messages from Danny Zetterman. I think it's a great idea. It's all anyone's gonna be talking about in the fall besides the bears. - Yeah, that is correct. - The presidential election, the debates, the whole thing, we could line them up with the weeks that the debates are actually gonna take place. I think there's something to this. I think it's a huge opportunity. - Okay, I'm down for it. I like to be in someone's cabinet, if you're probably on the expression for this though. Can I be in someone's cabinet? - Sure. - Team Sylvie? I like to be in someone's cabinet. - Oh, the whole cross, right? Like you know more about cabin. You work with them every day. You're helping Sylvie get the attack ads. - Just right. - Would that be fun? I think they can have their debate, but I like to have mine in Los Angeles by myself and just be the third debater on the outside. - Like your RFK? (laughing) - I like to put a pause on the actual debate and then be able to speak my piece. - You're in a hotel ballroom in Arizona with Aaron Rodgers. Well, the camp in Sylvie are on the stage. - That's exactly right. I'll be part of it. I think, you know, Jay Moore, you can help me out with the campaign. The Rents Too Damn High campaign, we can do that. We can reprise that. - Yes. - The Rents Too Damn High. - Did you say it over and over? Everybody's on the floor there. - That'd be great. - That's the problem is the Rents Too Damn High. That's what we should do. - The people are all on board. - Yeah, that's what I would say. That's what I would do. So I think that actually that's brilliant, especially because we're getting closer to the fall. - Sure. - So I think that that would work. - It would be fun. But what about York and Waddle though? - York and Waddle would be good. I don't see, here's the one thing. In a debate setting, will they seriously go after each other? - I know Silvie will seriously go after cap. And if you get under cap skin, cap will fire back. - Oh boy, yeah. - So like there could be some fireworks there. I don't, well, Waddle and Yurko care enough to go after each other and really give us that entertainment we're looking for. - Do you want to see the ESPN 1000 debates? Let's talk about this. 3, 1, 2, 3, 3, 2 ESPN, my fellow Americans. - I'm David Kaplan and I'm running for office at ESPN 1000. - Take that, and take that campaign. - They'll be on a bus going all around Chicago. Take that on the side of the bus. - Get in the guy, Edzo says both for me. - Yeah. - Oh man. - I like to think about that. - All the people will be back in them. Oh my God. - Yeah. - Oh my God. - Talk about campaign funds. - Come on in Fran for show up. Take something on my behalf. - Exactly. - Hey, Fran for Shilla from Stadium, man. Let me tell you something. I know this guy says 1982. Let me tell you. I know this guy says 1982. Boy, what a great guy. I'll tell you what. Bernie's book bank, I almost died walking with him, but let me tell you something. What a great guy. I'm Fran for Shilla and I approve this message. - Fran for Shilla. - It would be awesome. - All the people. - It would be awesome. - Edzo coming in. - Barkley cutting a promo for Sylvie. - Oh my God. - Yeah, right, like this would work. - We could have A.I.L. Michaels cut a promo for Sylvie. - It'd be awesome. - Right? 'Cause he's too lazy to work for the Olympic coverage. So they got, well, why do they have A.I.L. Michaels? He's still alive. - So you want to see the ESPN 1000 debates, also still to come some thoughts about Bronnie James, draft of the Los Angeles Lakers. We'll talk about all of it. Don't forget Shout and No Shout at eight o'clock with Chris Black, Jonathan Hood with you. Cap is off today on Cap and Jay Hood.

Four games back in the wild card. They win yesterday with an ENHAP 2 run, home run in the top of the 10th to go up five to three. The Cubs today are in Milwaukee to face off against the Brewers at seven, 10. The White Sox beat the Braves, one nothing yesterday. The makeup game from April the third, the White Sox are now 22 and 61 on the season. 23 games back in the wild card.

On YouTube, YouTube.com, look for Black in the Dollar also on the ESPN Chicago app podcast version. As we keep you company here on this Friday morning, Chris has come up with a brilliant idea in light of what happened yesterday, the disaster that happened in Atlanta, Georgia yesterday. And it's not Braves related 'cause the Braves had their own disaster at guaranteed rate. They were not in Atlanta, they were in Chicago losing to the White Sox in the game in which the Braves could not care, couldn't care less. But that thing yesterday was tough. But we have a way to be able to shine this up by having our own debates, right? - Yeah, I think it's something that would work. I mean, at this point, we've talked about this for what, 10 minutes. - Sure. - Have heard nothing from management. So I don't know if that's good or bad. - That's Friday. - Okay, all right, all right, I think it's a good idea. This is why I wanted to bring this idea to your show in the mornings because I think if I would have used this at 7.45, I'm blocking it all last night, I don't think it would get to as many ears, right? Like, yeah, I don't think people would hear it in that spot, in that moment. So I think that this is why I wanted to bring it to the table today. I think if we had cap running against Sylvie, for office of the leader of ESPN 1000, and we had a series of debates, we had campaign ads, we had campaign staffs, and we really build this up. We put a marquee event on the calendar, get some partners behind it, and we get everyone out to a bar, a restaurant, and we really do this up. I think it could be good. - And then the listeners would have to choose. - Yes, and they would have to choose. - So this is not-- - How great would that be? - That situation would not be the situation from last night, right? You wouldn't, where people are trying to figure out which one, that wouldn't be difficult in this situation. People can know exactly what they want. - Yeah, exactly, right. Two candidates we can believe in. We can trust in, we can follow, right? Like that's what we want as a city, as a sports city, and a country, right? - Jay Moore, just in case, just had the venue set up for that third party. - Third party candidate. - You can DJ it. - Are you saying one of the candidates at our ESPN 1000 debates will be, will perform so poorly that after the first the party will be looking to swap out the individual? Which person would that be? - You got to have an independent. You got to have an independent. - So let's go pack the designer. - I'm on that. (laughing) - Hey, that's so great. (laughing) That's a designer. It is the white glasses, the white frame glasses candidacy of pack the designer. I just think that that's just so cool. Like the gimmick is everyone wears glasses, but different color frames. - Yes. - I just think 'cause that supports Pat, right? 'Cause Pat's got all these different colors. He's cool glasses with different frame colors. - I think it would work. - Bull's fan, bear fan. - I would like to throw my hat in the ring as the moderator at these events. - Oh boy. - Yeah, that would be good. - I would rule with an iron fist, Sylvie trying to speak over cap. Mr. Silverman, you've had your time, you've had your time. - Well, that's what, did you guys like the rule last night that you could cut the mic, that the other mic was muted? - Yes. - We've never seen that before in a debate setting. - Yes. - You like that? I thought it worked last night. - I don't think either one was frustrated by that mic being cut. It's like, okay, well, we're moving on. All right. You got to have a tight leash in that spot. - Well, I mean, yeah. - For some, yes. - Here's what I would say. - Yeah. - I'm confident that Sylvie and Cap would use their two minutes each time that they get it. - No question. All right, like that was jarring last night. Sir, sir, you have 82 seconds left on the clock. Would you like to use it? It was, let me just tell you, it was such bizarre television, SNL shouldn't even try it. - They should just run clips. - Just move on. You can't, you can't surprise what happened yesterday. - One of the biggest problems facing Saturday Night Live right now is that reality has become so ridiculous. You can no longer satire it. - Yeah, because it's not funny to watch someone do a caricature when the caricature of himself is that ridiculous. - We saw the sadness/entertainment yesterday. SNL came and come close to that. And I'm talking about the best of the best that could do impressions, the top, over the years. It wouldn't be as funny to that New York audience who's like, well, we always saw this. - Right. - I mean, exactly this. - Yes, exactly. You can't exaggerate even more so because the reality is what we saw in front of us. - It's amazing. - So do you think that people, you know, waking up today, did everyone consume this or did people go out of their way to try and avoid what was on TV last night? Every network carried it. The rule was that it was a CNN debate, but each network carried it as long as they showed the CNN graphics on their channel. - So like it was everywhere? Or did you find something to watch that wasn't involved? - I think that there are some, we haven't seen the official numbers for this yet. And those numbers are not even real numbers anyway. Those are kind of fake numbers when it comes to the television ratings. But I would imagine many people watched. I think you still have your Netflix and chill people, but here's the thing, you can't avoid it because if you're a social media person, it's on your timeline. Either you saw a couple of hours of it or you saw 10 seconds of it, but you saw something, you know, exactly what happened because this is not, it's politics, Chris, but it's also pop culture. - Yeah, of course. It's part of it now. - Yeah, you and I are not breaking down the political side of the conversation. We're breaking down the spectacle that took place and the entertainment value and the, you know, unfortunate comedy that came from what this was. So yeah, I watched because two baseball teams played in the afternoon, Cubs in the White Sox, both winners yesterday, that was in the afternoon. At five o'clock Team USA had a extremely disappointing outcome against Panama. - And water's wet. - Yeah, a bone-headed red card in the 18th minute sending off Tim Waya and they lose to one. So my sports viewing for the most part last night was kind of over there. Second round, the NBA draft was in the afternoon. Boy, what a mistake by the NBA to break that up into two days. So I mean, I watched. - So that's the only thing that's the most compelling thing I guess was on. Just to see, I mean, I drive the Dan Ryan a lot. I like to see the car wreck. - Yeah, I mean, or just try to figure out how it happened. Not to see the car wreck in front of me, but how it happened. Like, you see the wreckage on the side of the road, you're like, how the heck did that happen? Why does that car turn this way when I'm driving this way? - Sure. - That's kind of what I saw last night. - Yeah, and I'm sure anyone you talk to you today, it's gonna be one of the first things they mention is what they saw last night. - But the ESPN 1000 debates, I think, went to break pitch. - What a great idea. - They'll be on the, I'm sure, the seventh floor is desk on Tuesday morning. All right, coming up, we will have shot or no shot. That's at eight o'clock with Chris Black, Jonathan Hood with you. Captain J. Hood on Chicago's home for sports. (upbeat music) - Captain J. Hood on bed. - We're back, baby. We're back. We're back. - Last night. - On Chicago's home for sports, ESPN Chicago. - With the 50/50 take in the 2024 end day draft, the Los Angeles Lakers select Brandy James from the University of Southern California. - Myling assistant commissioner, Tatum, with the pick there, with Brandy James going to the Lakers, with Chris Black, Jonathan Hood with you here on the Captain J. Hood morning show. We'll have shot or no shot coming up at eight o'clock, but yeah, Brandy James, draft to the Lakers. There's so much on the bone with that, but just the idea that the NBA wants to be the NFL as much as possible. This is why the draft was two days. I mean, at first day, obviously, the pop and circumstance of being in an arena, there's excitement in the air, but then you had to change locations and it looked like the draft during COVID at the Seaport Studios, didn't it? - Yeah. - You have no crowd, it's just kind of like, there's a celebration of a few draft picks that were there in the studio, Chris, but it was bizarre, just the change of venue and just the vibe of it all. - I wonder if the NBA will keep it the same for next year, but then they'll use the excuse that the debate took place last night, so they moved it to the afternoon. So give us another try where the second round's in prime time. Let's see how it goes. I did not like the sterile studio vibe of the second round. It somehow made the event even less important than the second round usually is. Yeah, the second round, and from our perspective, the Bulls would usually make a selection in the first round. If they didn't have a second round pick, that's when the GM starts to speak to the media. But in the background, second round picks are going off the board, or if your team has a pick, you're waiting to see how it kind of plays out while you're still breaking down and talking about and looking up and watching highlights of those who were selected in the first round. Breaking it up into two different days to me was just a gigantic mistake by the NBA. Especially this year where you have so many unknowns, G League, United players, international players, it's kind of like, this was the Brony James draft, and they had it in the middle of the day instead of having it all in one night. But is there choice, is there choice? They're trying to do something different. I think the only thing that bothered me is that, here's one thing the NFL wouldn't have done. They wouldn't have moved off of the night. They wouldn't have hit the head against it. - Yeah, I think so. - They would have. - And it's likely, the NFL is the only thing that could take on something like a presidential debate and still put up good viewing numbers as well. - Coverage was kind of funky because only a few people knew these international players at Gaboni and just, but everything else was just a crap shoot. It became a talk show instead of an actual draft coverage. - Doesn't that say more of the state of broadcasting today? - I mean, you tune into a draft coverage show, you need to have people on the broadcast who can actually give you bios of every player that's gonna be drafted. - Well listen, you can't go into a situation where they don't know anyone, that's not gonna work. - So the audience knows where Chris is coming from and why he has angst about this and why I thought was kind of a miss by the NBA is because you're listening to two people that did six and a half hours worth of coverage on a regular basis, Chris and I. - Yeah. - Or Chris and I and Fridell. - Yeah. - So we did like the 632, almost one o'clock in the morning coverage of the NBA draft on one night. - Right. - That was a common place. - You have to at least have one thought about each player. - Yeah. - That's it. You don't have to give me their entire life story, but to have people up there who don't know anything about the players being drafted, why are we watching? Like I at one point went to NBA TV to see if they had their own coverage that they did not. - I just wanted some breakdown. I stayed him did a great job. - Yeah. - Sean's, Fran, Goodman was over there, Cameron Smith. - Yep. - They did a great job, Robbie Hummel. - Yeah. - I mean, stayed him did a great job. Good coverage. - All right, we got shot and no shot. That's in two minutes on cap and J-hood.
