Kap & J. Hood
8/22 7 AM: Football or Family?
Chicago. This is your morning routine. Listen to respect my name. Cap and G hood. That's right. That's right. We're bad. Uh-uh. Watch the show on Twitch. Follow ESPN 1000 Chicago. Stream the show on the ESPN Chicago app. And on in there. 100.3 HD2. And on ESPN 1000 Chicago. No, no, no, no. David Kaplan and Jonathan Hood. Good morning, everyone. Bring 'em out, bring 'em out. Bring 'em out, bring 'em out. Bring 'em out, bring 'em out. Bring 'em out, bring 'em out. Bring 'em out, bring 'em out. Bring 'em out, bring 'em out. Whoa. Whoa. Oh. Welcome in to the Cap and G hood morning show on ESPN 1000. And we are streaming on the ESPN Chicago app. With David Kaplan, Jonathan Hood with you. We've got Shay. We've got Jay Moore. And we've got you for a three hour ride. Justin, this deal breakers Thursday went up in phone lines for you. 3-1-2-3-3-2-3-7-7-6 is our telephone number and cap. Tonight, it'll be the Bears and the Chiefs. Our coverage starts at 2.30 with Wildland Sylvie with their pregame, extending all the way to 7.20 when the Bears take on the Chiefs for the last dress rehearsal for pre-season. - Hoodie, I'm excited that we have football on our screen tonight. Very, very excited. Absolutely thrilled. But guess what? No Caleb, no Mahomes, no starters. Yeah, it's cool for Vailus Jones family that he's got a meaningful game to play tonight or Daniel Hardy or Wheeler. Yeah, super cool. And I wish those guys a great day and I hope it turns out just the way they want it to. But Johnny, have you done your due diligence? In what? Have you informed the people in your life? Most notably, the Grand Marshal of your home, that would be your beautiful wife, Michelle. Have you notified your family down in the Southwest suburbs that effective Saturday? You will no longer be available for family events on Saturdays from roughly 9 a.m. when game day starts through the late night West Coast football game, Hawaii and San Diego State and Utah and whoever else is playing, Arizona, all Sundays, Monday evenings from pre-gaming with a little crown royal through the end of the Monday night game, all Thursday nights, same deal. And then again, Friday night football back to Saturdays and Sundays. Unavailable until late February. Hmm. That sounds like a missive. I have not told them all that, but that sounds familiar with that story. That is where I am at. I will be informing my wife. She's been, we've been apart the last couple of days. She's got stuff going on and so do I. And when she walks in, I'm going to give her flowers and I'm going to give her a credit card that she can use on Ubers. And let her know, hun. Love the grandkids dearly. Love you, love our kids, love our life. But guess what? Effective week zero, that's Saturday. There will be large chunks of time I'm unavailable unless she chooses to watch football with me. Okay. Football's back. So there was something that was a viral on TikTok that is similar to what you just laid out there about how a husband gives a wife a two week notice that the national football league is returning and he'll be unavailable until February. That's correct. So I find this interesting that, and again, this is gone viral. You could find this on Facebook or anywhere else where the video shows his wife reading the letter. Callie, this is to inform you that two weeks from today is the start of the NFL season. And the past several months, I've been engaged, loving, helpful, and thoughtful husband and father. However, I must with remiss inform you that I am putting in my two weeks notice. Now, of course, if someone is reading that where a husband sends to a wife and putting in my two weeks notice, it's like, well, where is he going with this? Is this the end? Will that be all for our marriage? No, no, no. He's laying out that he will not be available for work on Sundays from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday evenings, nor Thursday evenings due to conflicting commitments. I'll also be unavailable every Saturday due to the conflicting commitments between the hours of 10 a.m. and midnight, the next morning. Correct. So be in effect until the end of February and early March. Thank you for your understanding. Okay, so here's the question. Do you believe that this guy's wife, Callie, will heed to this letter that she will, to the letter of the law, not involve her husband in anything? Boy, will she heed it? A, she's a beautiful girl. She seems to be taking it in good spirit. There are also women out there that are role reversing that they are the one informing the husband. Now, if their husband is the other side of the argument doesn't really get it, you know, get into the football. And the wife does. I have no interest in knowing that husband. He's a loser. Oh, man. I'm not calling my brother-in-law loser, but... But you just did. Sometimes the shoe fits, you gotta wear it. Because my sister-in-law, Lisa, my wife's sister, she's awesome. She lives in Dallas, Texas. She has for 30 years. Lisa has basically informed her husband, Jim, that do not disturb me when football is on. And I mean, I'm not talking about the Cowboys game or the Bears game. She's a Bears fan first 'cause she grew up in the Chicago area. And she's also a Cowboys fan 'cause she lives down there, but they don't hold a lot of special meaning to her. It's she's Bears first and foremost by a mile. But she's on that couch for NFL today, the Fox pregame. She is locked in and if I call her and she's a teacher, if I call her Sunday night at like nine, 'cause she goes to bed early during the rest of the year, she will be up, locked in on the Panthers and the Seahawks until that game is over. Yes, she's awesome. And so she's into football. I think that I can only speak for my household in which Peacock understands that Georgia football's on, step by the way, like there won't be any Saturday brunch, there won't be some kind of afternoon sware, it's just gonna be college football, specifically Georgia. Like the first game is August 31 when we take on Clemson at 11 a.m. Okay, that'll be all. Don't ask for like any breakfast plans or anything like that. It's the first game of the season cap. So you have to be in a home in which your spouse understands, hey, football's on, I've been waiting all year for this and now here it is. She has to understand that and so because she lives with me, she understands that. Same thing with the Bears. She would not dare schedule something against the Bears game because you know what, it's not like she is unaware. She works for NBC. So she knows the schedule just like I know the schedule. So it's never a disconnect. I think that for the normal listeners that have a spouse, whether it's a woman or a man that's into football and the other person doesn't know the schedule, that's where the problem could be. Like for my household, she knows exactly, don't bother me during Georgia football or cod football and don't bother me when the Bears are on. And so, but what about that household cap in which you know the schedule, but she doesn't. And she's thrown off by it, even though this happens every fall and winter. - Correct. My wife knows when she married me on a sportscaster, this is what it is and she's awesome about it. Like literally, we go out to dinner and my phone is set up, there's the Bulls game, there's the Cubs game, the Whiteside, whatever it is. Bears is a totally different deal. Like she will, I'll be like, where are you going, hun? We are going to brunch with the kids and I know the Bears are playing, so I didn't even ask you. Yeah, she gets it, she's awesome. But when we go out, because I do this with you, I got recap to do on YouTube, I gotta be locked in, I gotta see these games. So, the iPad goes with the whatever, but she knows. Hey, she even said to me the other day, the Bears season starts the eighth, right? Yep, okay, I won't count on you beyond that. So, that's it. - I can't count on you, that sounds sad though. - Right, no it's like-- - Nah, just the way he said it though. I understand I can't count on you. - Like she knows, don't ask me to water the plants unless it could be done at like six or seven a.m. 'cause I'm up early, I'll take care of anything you need then. But once I get locked in 10, 30, there's, we've got our pregame going, I got the AirPods on for that, I got the TV on, I got the Red Zone getting ready, warming up in the bullpen with Scott Hanson. When that stuff's all going, sorry hun. Your second. - And Pika understands that. Football's on in the hood cave and she's watching, she's watching the catching up on Big Brother or something on Lifetime. My wife will watch the Bears a little bit, but if she said, hey I'm gonna go run this errand or she's going to Costco. It won't dissuade her, me? Come on now, that's it, and again, there are people in their car right now go, this guy's an idiot. This wife said they have to go do something with their grandkids, he's not going, that's correct. And my wife gets it, so it may not work for you out there, it works for us. - Oh, there's plenty of people like us, Cap. And honestly, there are others who don't get it. I told you the story, we went to dinner with a couple friends of my wife's and I just happened to make conversation with the guy who I had less than zero in common with. And for some people, that's a good thing. Okay, I get it. I said, fire it up for that gain more, you'll be locked in, right? Hun, can I watch the Bears tomorrow? And right away I puke, basically. I mean you're asking permission. She said, absolutely not. You can tape it. I'm like, you don't tape live sports, especially when it's the Bears. Come on, what are we doing here? She's like, we have to go to Home Depot, we're looking for tile, I'm like, you're a loser, and we've never gone out with them since. - That guy is always strange. And you know who that guy is, Shay? That guy that you're rushing to get to someone else's home or you're getting that last beer run and you see just a guy just walking over it long, reading a book with family five minutes before the game is supposed to start. - Right, pushing the kids in the stroller. - Yeah, and you think sir, are a loser. - And you're just thinking to yourself, self. You're like, why is that guy pushing that stroller? Why is that guy walking around, let's say he's Hyde Park, walking around and reading a book, usually it's a University of Chicago guy. And it's kind of like-- - It's a Birkenstock side. - What a summer scarf in the fall. And you're just like, what are you doing? The game's about to start, why? How come I'm rushing to this guy's house to watch the game? And you're just la-di-di-di-di. The game is gonna be on, sir. It's strange, is it disconnect? - Yeah, I mean, Cap and I have talked in the past, like I tell my wife once fall starts to catch in February. I'll catch you in football's over. This is don't be scheduling dinners. Don't be saying I'm going places to be with people. I'm not doing it. Do not commit me to any event. I'm very likely not, like perfect example. One of our best friends moved to Cleveland. And for a new gig, having a great time, we haven't seen 'em. So Labor Day weekend, two weeks from now, she's got this whole plan scheduled. We're gonna go to Cleveland, we're gonna hang out, we're gonna have a great time. And I'm like, we're gonna what? You wanna go enjoy yourself. Week one college football, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, I'm at home. Do not include me. I hope you have a wonderful time. I hope you too, like have a great time together. - My only dispute with you, hoodie, correct me if I'm wrong, was there was something that was fairly important in your life and you were gonna stay home to watch like San Diego stayed against a 1-double-A team. And I'm like, all right, that's over the top. If it's that important to your wife, I get that. A Bears game, NFL, Sunday, even if the Bears have a bye week? Get the H outta here. - But like she knows the deal too. If it's not a wedding or like a serious event, I'm not going. And she understands, she's cool with it. Like I'm going to-- - Like who gets married on a Bears Sunday? - I'm telling ya, I got a wedding weekend, two weddings in the same weekend, a Friday night and a Saturday. - And I, hoodie was there last year. - I could not be angry. - Hoodie and I were hanging out in the front of Holy Name Cathedral with my brother Bruce. My son Alex was getting married. - Yes. - We're checking scores, it's a Saturday. And I had my phone in the church. - Yes. - I'm going through the scores, I got my bets in. And then Sunday, because Alex is a stud, they had a reception for the entire wedding party, all the out of town people, and guess what it was? It was a football watching party for the Bears game. Yeah, we were at some bar yet, with a spread of food, and there's all the games on, there's the reds of like, "Al, I love you, man. "You and Maggie are the greatest." And Maggie comes up to you, it's my new daughter-in-law for less than 24 hours. And she comes up, she's like, "Like my same game parlay in a day?" I'm like, "You have a same game parlay?" Oh my God, Alex married way up. (laughing) So the question is, and that's gonna be me. Ah, there it is, Jay Moore, August 31st, a little Georgia, a little Clemson, and-- - We're at. - It's gonna be in Atlanta. That's what we call a neutral site game in the south. - Oh boy, 'cause there are people betting Clemson, I just read an article last night, when I was doing some homework. There are sharps in Vegas that have Clemson at 65 to one, 60 to one depending where you shop. I think circa has 'em, it's 60 to one. Yeah, to win the title. - I told you two weeks ago, if you'd just listen to me and my around the NFL's, I had 'em win in the ACC and the third seed in the playoff. - That's right, you know what happens, Cap? Peacock will be on that midnight train to Georgia, she'll be leaving me. - Oh. (laughing) - Knowing that that'll be all trade to Georgia. - It'll be all, Cap, as she leaves me. Not coming back, no sir. She'll be going to Georgia while I'm watching Georgia. - Like that is the discussion point, like I wanna know are there women out there that have, like my sister, Lalisa, who have informed their husband, and it's been a great summer, really enjoyed it. We love the heat, we get heat in Texas. I'll see you soon. - So long. (laughing) - On that midnight train to Georgia. - Like during the Bears by we heard Sylvia talking, he's gonna take a vacation during Bears by we. So am I, my wife has a big birthday. So the whole family is going somewhere, and my sister Lisa's coming, and her husband. And I said, Lisa, it'll be fun to hang with you. I haven't done this with you for several days in a while. And she said, here's the one problem. Before I hit the send on my airfare, you do have it set up so we can watch football where we're going. Who are you talking to? It's me. Yes. There will be multiple screens on football. - So let's open the phone line, Shay, this morning. 3-1-2-3-3-2-E-S-P-N. 3-3-2-3-7-7-6 is our telephone number. The question that Cap and I wanna ask you is, will you spend less time with your family because of football? Ultimately, how big is football in your household? Do you have to be able to clear the calendar, move stuff out of the way so you could be comfortable watching Beards Football, whatever your favorite team is? We're just trying to get a gauge, just based on this social media clip that's out there where everyone's saying, I will no longer be available on Sundays, and also unavailable on Saturdays. Do you have to do that? Do you have to clear the schedule? Let's find out your thoughts on the Cap and Jhood Morning Show. (upbeat music) - Cap and Jhood on back. - Oh, Cap, Jhood, big fan man. Cap and Jhood, bop bop bop bop. Watch out fellas. - On Chicago's home for sports, ESPN Chicago. - It's the Cap and Jhood Morning Show on ESPN 1000, and streaming on the ESPN Chicago app. It's a deal breakers Thursday. Well, deal breakers coming your way at 835, right here on Cap and Jhood. We're talking about that viral clip that's out there. It's on Facebook, it's on TikTok, it's everywhere else. Where a spouse tells his wife, I will no longer be available on Sundays. And also gives that notice that he also won't be available on Saturdays until the end of February. So he's a college and pro football fan, Cap. And so, look, you laid out the story in our first segment about how there are some people, some guys that are just kind of cursory football fans or just watch the bears and they just go away. We've talked about this before. There are some people that are listening to show that are just 12 to 320 fans when it comes to football. Bears games off. All right, Han, let's go cherry picking. Let's go get the pumpkins. Let's do a wine tasting. They put the sweater around their neck and they're gone. - Oh, God. - Seriously, Cap, I mean with-- - Yeah, with the spare top cider shoes. (laughing) I don't know if those either. - It's, it's, and by the way, God bless you because at least your investment. But some people have a small investment in football or a small investment in their college teams. - And they're saying it's like us. - And then it's us that just watch everything that gamble on everything that are just interested because we're a rabid sports fans. It's a difference. - When you have the viral clip, it is freakin' hilarious because you can hear her giggling. Like she's like, "What is this?" It was awesome. - It was awesome. (upbeat music) - Callie, this is to inform you that two weeks from today is the start of the NFL season. I passed several months. I have been an engaged, loving, helpful, and thoughtful husband and father. However, I must witness inform you that I am putting in my two weeks notice. I will no longer be available for work on Sundays 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday evenings, nor Thursday evenings, due to conflicting commitments. I'll also be available every Saturday due to conflicting commitments between the hours of 10 a.m. And until the end of the next morning, this will be in fact until the end of February and early March. Thank you for listening. (upbeat music) - It's bad. (laughing) - This is this. Sorry, you can't quit it. We're short-staffed. (laughing) - The best. - She says we're short-staffed. You can't wait. - I wanna be friends with that couple right now. - Yes. - Awesome. - And I think that she understands. She understands. - She does, that's what makes it so cool. - So that means, so you just understand, like all of Sunday, so Monday night football, Thursday night evenings, due to conflicting commitments, talking about Thursday night football on Amazon. So he's gonna, it's gonna be spending time with Al Michaels and Kirk Herb Street. And then Saturdays as well. - It was hilariously well done by him and her really funny. It's just, I've told you, my favorite time of the year is the spring when opening day for baseball comes, 'cause I know what's coming. Hot weather, the summer, being out on the lake, all of it. It's just masters, final four, opening day. Hey man, here we go. Get to play golf again. Let's go. But, but, I am becoming a little more in line with you and Shay and Jay Moore that, it's pretty freaking cool because we got a good Bears team that, guess what? Football's back. - Sure. There's an investment there. - Yeah. - There's an investment there. And again, this is not one of those things where it's DVRable. It's just not, it's the Bears because you know it's gonna be spoiled. Oh, I'll take the Bears game. Are you sure it's not gonna pop up? You're not gonna get a text or you go through your social media and someone's gonna spoil it for you? I mean, I mean, seriously, family is important. There's no question. However, football's right there, the 1A during football season. Especially for me as a college football fan. You know, I am Cap. I'm watching game day. I'm watching the 11 o'clock kicks to two thirties at six and chasing at nine 30. Right to the Hawaii game at the end at one 30 in the morning. Big fan because football's back. It's awesome. - Yeah. I'm more engaged than I have been. And one of our great partners is Circa. I've never been to the stadium swim. Sylvie was telling, dude, stadium swim is the coolest place in the world. And so they have a survivor contest. And I've done the survivor contest that a buddy's running or you've done those. And they're cool. You pick one team a week. If you win, you move on. If you lose, see you later. And I've been knocked out in week 16 and I've been knocked out in week one. Week one, I got knocked out. I'm like, what? There was a big upset. God, half the pool, done. And I am flying to Vegas after football fest on Sunday night. I am entering the Circa survivor contest with my brother. You have to sign up in person and then you can hire a proxy. This year's winner expected to pay somewhere between eight and nine million dollars. But they said you'll basically have to run the table and hit all 18 weeks. So I'm signed up effective Sunday night or Monday morning and I am going to do this. And dude, what a great experience. Like you've got Georgia. Till this year, the Bears were nothing, man. You had a champion every week. You knew whether you're playing middle Tennessee state or you're playing Alabama. You have the best team on the field 99.9% of the time. I got survivor. So will you spend less time with your family because of football? If you're on hold, you will be on the air. 312-332-ESPAD-332-3776 is our telephone number. On Captain Jay Hood. Here's to Dave's headline, headline with Captain Jay Hood. Well, it was a mixed bag again for Chicago baseball on Wednesday. White Sox salvaged game three of their three game series against the San Francisco Giants. Their bullpen was outstanding. They broke it open in the ninth and beat the Giants to get today off Cubs. Not so fortunate. A meth outing again from James Satyone. He went five innings, gave up four runs. All be it in one inning. The second two two run home runs and then settled down. The bullpen kept them in it until the ninth. When the newest cub, Jack Nealey got his head kicked in. 8-2 Tigers win. Two teams finished their three game series this afternoon at the confines. And then the Cubs go back to work again tomorrow. And the Bears play tonight. That's right. We got Bears football starting with our pregame festivities on the wattle and sylvie show. Beginning at 3 p.m. we have a lengthy post game. It'll break down the roster. Yurko's going to make his roster predictions. Bears and Chiefs tonight on the home of the Bears. The ESPN 1,000. Jay Moore. This is Cap and Jay Hood. They beat in the traffic commute, so you don't have to. Stop. Stop. Stop. No. Say and give. Say something. Oh. Oh. Oh. The ESPN Chicago. Thank you, Stitches. Cap and Jay Hood on the ESPN 1,000 and streaming on the ESPN Chicago app. We got a shot or no shot coming away at a clock. We're just joining us. We're asking the question. Will you spend less time with your family because of football? The viral clip that's out there on all the social media channels regarding how a husband told a wife I will no longer be available on Sundays. And the husband gives the wife a two week notice that the NFL is returning and he'll be unavailable until February and includes Saturdays as well. We go to first tough Boston and Pastor Dave listening on the ESPN Chicago app. Pastor Dave, good morning. Hey. How are you guys? We're awesome. We're blessed. So not just my wife, no, my whole church note one like, listen, I have to stay on the east coast to make sure I get home by one o'clock because that's that's football time. I come home Sundays. My messages are they kind of like it. They know my messages are shorter. I'm off the door. My wife goes out to eat with everybody. She's pretty good. Wherever they go. She always brings me something back and I'm in my chair. And that's it. In fact, last Saturday, we had a funeral and I didn't have a major part in it, luckily. And when I was done with my part, we were looking for some tissues and I'm at a new church note. I didn't know where they kept them. And I looked at it. I was like, oh, it's one o'clock. So let me find I live right next door to the church. So I just appeared for a little bit because I wanted to watch Caleb Williams and nobody knew except my wife and she didn't really like that. I can't get funeral to watch football and like, well, it's kind of an addiction. So it's kind of what you married into. And I don't know what to do. So yeah, in fact, our anniversary is always in October. That's one that messed me up. But two years ago, I convinced her to go to Boston and so we made the Monday night game and this year we're going to London. So that's going to work out pretty good. I guess what week we're going to London. You got it. Oh, wow, Pastor Dave, so if for about 11 o'clock or what are you done, quarter 12? So we started 11 usually right at right around 12 normal Sundays, maybe 1215 1230, but in those four months in the fall, usually, yeah, yeah, right at right at 12, that gives me an hour to get to get settled in and catch all the pregame stuff and or, you know, you just use the people you got to talk to give me an hour after church to kind of visit with people. But when it gets getting closer to one o'clock, I get a little fidgety and I'm like, I got to go get my fix. That's like a good quick homily, you know, that was that was family time in my house growing up in the Midwest was knowing none of us and you guys were probably saying, wait, we didn't go play football till the game was over. We all went home. At Tilly and Zoop, we watched football together as a family and it's just so my family walked is we all live in different states, but we've what we watch in text and we have group text. You guys probably do this with your buddies. And so we're we're watching the game together. And in my wife gets it, I'm I luckily I have a very low maintenance wife who understands the and all my, all my fallacies and everything that I have going on. So it's good. It's always worked out. Well, bless you, Pastor. As always, we appreciate it. Appreciate you. Crazy football fan, Pastor Dave, Beth is in Geneva on cap and J hood. Beth, good morning. Good morning. How are you guys? How are you doing? I'm good. Long time listener. Second time caller. So yeah, so I my family knows that I'm not going to be available and one of the stories I can tell you is that Tom Brady's last game and when he was playing against Cowboys in the, I don't know, I think it was maybe January and we have a house in Tampa and I said to my husband, I'm like, we're down here. Let's go see him. It's gonna be his last game. And he's like, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. It's so expensive. And I just looked, I looked at him and said, what wife has to beg their husband to spend money on playoff tickets. And he's like, good point. So he bought him. There you go. And rightfully so. And rightfully so. Beth. Yeah. So yeah, I'm completely unavailable during football season. Love you guys. And I'm actually going to be there on Sunday for football. So come up, please and say hello, okay. I will. I hope you guys have a great day and I listen to you every single morning. So you're the best. We appreciate you greatly. Thank you guys. Have a good day. Yeah. Yeah. You know, football fest is one of the signature events we have at ESPN Chicago and tickets available right now at Ticketmaster, I think seven bucks to be able to get into the Hard Rock Casino in Northern Indiana and Gary. It's going to be a lot of fun. I'm really looking forward to it. And again, football is back and it's not like, well, I hope field plays all right, man. I hope Mitch has figured it like we've got a dude at quarterback. Like I'm, I cannot believe this is where we're finally at, but we're finally at it. On I 94, Greg needs some help, but he turned to Greg here on cap and J hood. Greg, good morning. Yeah. Good morning, guys. Yeah. I've got a bad situation. My daughter is studying abroad this fall. And my wife has stated we are going and we're going during Thanksgiving. So I'm going to be the last two weeks in November, I'm going to be in Luxembourg and France and Italy and Germany. And I don't know what the heck I'm going to do when we're at the Palace of Versailles. And I want to watch a football game on a Sunday afternoon. Oh, boy. Oh boy. Well, but you could get the, you could stream it, can't you? I could do it, but you know, it's international rates here. And on top of that, my wife wants to drink wine and France and I want to drink beer and Germany and watch with the guys in Munich. And what am I going to do here? I say you find Wi-Fi. It's free. It's Wi-Fi is everywhere over there. Been there many times, Wi-Fi onto the phone so you don't have to pay the international streaming numbers for the service and you've got it on your phone. That's a compromise. So which country in Western Europe loves NFL football the most? Okay, Greg, you're going to be watching a different kind of football. I hate to break it to you. You're going to be watching soccer. Why? Jay? You can get the games over there. Watch the Cubs games on the Sox when I was in Europe. And the time difference though, Greg, so right now it's 743 in Chicago, it's 243 in Paris in France. So what's that, so what's that time difference? If you're going to be going out, it's going to be in the evening, correct? Yeah, I think it's an 8-hour difference. Oh, noon kick, 8 p.m. You forget about a 330 game. Yeah, that's a tough one. And you said during Thanksgiving, so we're talking about the Lions game on November 26th and also the, let's see, November 24th, the Bears play the Vikings. So four days before Thanksgiving as well. So Sunday, Thursday. You're going to miss all of that? Well, my wife is from Minneapolis. So I might be able to convince you to watch the Vikings go. Wow. So what do you think you should do, Cap? Stay home. Ah, that's no help. Is this not peak first world problems, taking a wonderful European vacation with the family, all worried about how am I going to watch football? Right. It's incredible. He's got to be locked in for 14 hours a day. I get it. He's in Europe. But if your favorite team is playing, they got to understand, hey, find a pub, find something where I'll meet you. I'm watching my team play. That's probably what it will be. Thanks, guys. Good luck. Travel safe, man. Greg sounds sad. He wants to go, but he doesn't want to go to miss his, his Bears cap. This is a tough spot for Greg. So Ben tweeted at us, hoodie, while I wish I could be in the position of dedicating my Sunday to NFL football, I have two kids who play sports, and in the fall, they have tournaments on Sundays from time to time. I tape every Bears game, and even if I know who won, I watch the game later. Okay. The, the youth sports deal has to just be the worst. I mean, you've got to pay a fortune for your kids to play and then they take the time away from you. What about the nine, nine AM starts so that we can be home at noon? The idea that you see some of these soccer tournaments and these things happening, loving a clock or noon, that's tough on the NFL fan. I'm just telling you, that's tough. That's start my game at eight AM, Jay Moore, if I could, we need a crisis hotline, man. We really do like if I was coaching the 10 year old team again, it would be guys practices at five 30 be dressed, stretched and ready to go. We'll be out of here by seven 30, get home, get shower, get breakfast, and you can watch football. Yeah. See, you got a plan, cab. Yes. You have a plan. Got to plan these things. The idea that you're taping a game, man, my phone has to be off for me to be able to just seamlessly go through whatever I got to go through, not know what the score is, and then hit the DVR. That's a tough one. You are exactly correct. That's tough. You've got to turn it off because otherwise some notification that you didn't check pops up. Kayla Williams throws nine yard touchdown blah, blah, blah, blah, look, what I don't want to know. Yeah. And you can avoid as much as possible. You're thinking, ah, Instagram booty models, I'll never get the bear score there, and then all of a sudden. Do you do you? I'm a news guy. I don't care about I care about the one game the bears. It's all right. Even a news feed doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo bears when you can't avoid it, cap. You can't avoid it. You are correct. 3123 to ESPN 332, 3, 776 our phone number.

Jaymore always makes a Kool-Aid for his family. Picture after picture is a matter of fact. Actually, it's a flavor aid. It's always the all-de-pray. It's always the all-de-pray. I've got some flavor. Not flavor right now. That's the same. You know what? It is. All the, that's my son and daughter-in-law's Garrett and Jenny. That's their favorite store. They love all the, I'm like, all the, yep. Future partner here at ESPN Chicago is to go to bring a lot of New York as we say hello to Derek listening on the ESPN Chicago app, Derek, good morning. Hey, good morning, Cap, honey, what's going on there? What's up, brother? Hey, I'll just call and say, you know, football season starts. The family knows Sundays don't disturb me because it all starts at six o'clock in the morning. I get up, go downstairs, play Madden for a few hours, then I got to get ready for my fantasy. So I watch the fantasy show and then I get ready for the pre-games and I get ready for the bed. So I'm booked all day Sunday. So don't bother me. They know the deal. It's the best. The next time I have a basketball tournament in Brooklyn, we are getting together because we talk all the time, but we've never got to meet. Oh, you got to take my number, can't I have no problem to give me my number, man? If you want my numbers, it's all good. Oh, quick question. Did you, did you see the picture with me and George from Glenview? The tweet tweeted you, you know, give your number to Shay and I'm going to text you and you can text me the picture and I'll repost it. All right, Derek. Okay. That's no problem. Derek, go ahead, Derek. Give us the number. I thought you were ready to give it to. I had to pin ready. Okay, my fault. But he's going to ask for your social security number next. That's right. Right. What's your address? Hey, hang on a second, Dave, because we got a queue on the south side also with us on cap and jail. Good morning. What's up, man? So what is with you in football? We asked it. Will you spend less time with your family because of football? Yeah, say hello to Derek, first of all. Good morning. Good morning. How you doing? Good morning. Good morning. We're showing them in Chicago. We already know it. Yes. Yes. Oh, bears. Yeah. What's this about your brother? I wanted to get my thing about what my brother did for his football thing. But he did. It's like, you know, his brother made an obituary for himself. Yeah. He made a big way for himself. From September 8th on to February, hopefully, it's a very good football. Is his face in the clouds on that obituary? What does it look like you? It's just that his face, and he put the arms rest of his face from September on to February. And he's got to get the NFL and college football games all on it. That's spectacular. So there you have it, Derek. His brother's dead until February. I got you, man. Well, enjoy being dead for those few months, man. So hopefully it's a blessing. There's a lot there, what you just said. That was a bar right there, Derek. Well said. You had a bar right there. You said, enjoy being dead. Believe it's a blessing and it's a blessing all the same time. It's so ridiculous to show their people out there. Don't get it. Guess what? I don't want to be friends with you. Derek, Q, we're preaching the cell phone call. Derek, text me that picture. In two minutes we'll give you a shot or no shot on Chicago's Home for Sports. Bring it on.
