For a three hour ride here on this Wednesday morning. We'll open phone lines for you three, one, two, three, three, two, ESPN, three, two, three, seven, seven, six is our telephone number. And so, Cap, last night, we hoped that everybody would be able to survive the storms. I know that there was trees down in certain areas around the Chicago land area, but the storm yesterday affected you like some of the other people in the area, but a little bit differently. Would you explain what happened yesterday because I'm following along on Twitter, and it sounds like you had a very odd evening. Here's David Kaplan. - I did. So, it was a beautiful, warm day. I like the heat, it's great. Get my steps in outside, work up a nice lather, and came in to shower. And then, I'm gonna go pick my son Brett up. We go to dinner at the same place every week. Every week, we're at Greenwood American Kitchen. He gets the burger, I get the chopped salad. Nice, relaxing evening, got the game on, watching the cubbies, and-- - Stop by for autographs if you're here too. Every week now, $10 an autograph, go ahead. - 12. Anyway, we're getting in the car. Walk out, get in the car. Man, I'm like, I don't know. Kidding awfully dark outside. Brett, looks like it's gonna storm, and I could see the temperature is going from 99 to like 74, not a good combination. - Chicago. - Drop Brett off, and all of a sudden the sky's open up. I mean, it is raining so hard. And I'm going down the road, and all of a sudden, the road's blocked. There's a big tree that has been destroyed. I mean big. - Rollins? - Not tree Rollins. Wow, that's a former NBA player at Shea, who you've never heard of, Atlanta Hawks. And now I start navigating my way back to the house, and there are more trees down, and more trees down. I have to go up on the edge of the sidewalk on one road to get around a tree. I'm like, what the, what did a tornado hit here? Now I get a text from my, we have like a group text of neighbors, and my friend Marissa says, do you guys have power? Oh God, and immediately I panic. I'm like, I don't own a house key. - Wait, wait, wait, wait, hold on. Hold on, MacGyver, hold on. - What's that now? You say, what? - I don't have a key to my own house. Have it for 20 years. Live there for 20 years. Don't have a key. - Okay, let's put a pin on that for a second, Cap. That might be normal for you, but to the audience that you don't have a key. Not even handy is kind of insane. - Don't even own one. - So. - Oh, but I mean, like, at least just unprintable, having a key on hand, you know, putting in your console, you know, hiding it in a flower pot. I mean, don't even own one. - All right, so how do you enter your home, Cap? - I go through the garage and into the house. - And-- - Turn the alarm off, I'm in. - Okay, so it's just based on the old keypad. That's how you get in. - Correct. - Or my garage door opener, which is synced to my car. - Uh-huh. - Which is dang! - Okay. - So-- - So you're not me. You don't have keys for front and back and other properties, you don't have that. - Okay, so you don't have what I have. - I do not. - Okay. - You've got like 16,000 keys there. - Yes, I know. - I'm Schneider from one day to time. I got all the keys here. - Yeah, I don't have any keys. - Okay. - So I come into our development. I'm coming around the corner and the garbage cans, everybody's front of the house, 'cause it was garbage that all tipped over. Some are in the street. I'm like, "Sweet mother of God, there must have been." Wow, now I get to another tree that I take you pictures. - Destroy. - Yeah. - I'm like, "What is going on here?" Turn in my driveway and I know what's gonna happen. I hit the garage door opener. No power, it doesn't go up. - Oh God. - I'm like, "Okay, I can't get in my garage." - Yeah? - The front door is locked, the back door is locked and I keep the windows locked. Actually, it was hot. - Sure. - I got a problem here. - Yeah, 'cause you can't get into your own home because you don't have not even a key. - Correct. - Not even hidden on the property. - Correct. - So I call my wife, she's out of town. Hey, hon, do we have a key hidden around the house? She's like, "I do have a spare key, "but it's not gonna help you 'cause I explained "to her what was going on, why?" She said, "I happen to leave a key in the garage." - Oh, of course. Good place for it right now. - And I said, "Well, that's not gonna help me. "I can't get into the garage." I took pictures, some of the trees down and I tweeted it, and some of these jackaloons. There's a handle on your garage. Just pull the rope and it'll release it so you can manually open the garage. - On the inside. - Yeah, exactly. (laughs) - Right. - I get the 40 or so led by jackaloon producer in there. - Uh-huh. Who does it carry a key? You need to have a key. - Yeah, thanks, dad. Appreciate that. - Anytime, kiddo. - So then my wife says, "Hey, do me a favor. "While you're waiting for the power, "can you run to jewel for me?" I need basil for a caprizy salad I'm making 'cause our kids are gonna be with us this weekend. I'm like, "Okay." - What are you doing? - Then it's, "Oh, make sure you pick up milk "for your grandson. "Make sure you do." I got a list of like eight things. I'm like, "All right, I'll Zoom over there. "Go to jewel. "Now it starts raining sideways." I go in, I get the groceries. I put them in the car. I get soaked, get back in. I get a really nice text from Sylvie. - Right? - Sylvie, who lives in my neighborhood, like three blocks over? - Yeah. - His power didn't go out. - But yours did? - Like four blocks in my side did. - Yeah. - Sylvie's side, no. - Two Americas, there. - Exactly. - This whole conversation is two Americas to me. The whole damn thing is two Americas. - Me too, hoodies. - But I'm willing to listen. So now, what else now? Just this part of the story. I've said for years that your wife has not treated you well. - She's the best. - She might be the best on the surface, but as a friend, I'm telling you that she's been really bad to you for a while. I mean, you're in crisis right now. - Han, I need basil, I need milk. I can't even access the home. What is she talking about, Cap? - She said, "What are you doing?" I said, "I'm watching the Cubs game." Where, on my phone, in our driveway, in your car? - I have nothing else to do. - That's fine, but Mindy Cap was not treating you right, because right now, it's a crisis. You can't get into your home. The power is out. Oh, while the power is out, just get this laundry list of things that I need. What about me and access to the whole? - Nothing she could do. She's hours away. - That's fine, but now's the time for errands. - Yeah. - Girl, she's, you know what? Mindy, Kaplan, I would say that you're better than this, but I'm not sure, 'cause this has been a lot of complaints from me about how you're treating my friend. Go ahead. - So horrible. - Yeah. - So, then Mindy says, our friend Dana. - Yeah. - She comes over when Mindy has a meeting, and she'll walk our dogs for us. - Oh, you have a dog walker? - Yeah. - Uh-huh. - Go ahead. - She's like 25 minutes from the house. I call voicemail. I'm like, son of a... I call back like five minutes later, 'cause I didn't leave a message. I said, I'll just leave a message. She answers. Hello, yellow. I said, Dana. David Kaplan. Hey, what's up? I said, I need a favor. Do you have a key to our house? I believe so. Hang on. - Yeah, right here. - I said, please, dear God, let that still be the right key, 'cause I wouldn't know. If I drive over to you, where do you live? She tells me prospect heights, like... - Oh God. - Okay? - Damn. - Text me the address. I'll be there. I need the key. And she said, I'll be waiting outside. Text me when you're close. Text her. (phone ringing) - Damn. (laughing) - Hello? - Hello? (laughing) - Who's this? - Wait here, come on out. - Who is this? - It's Captain! - I need the key! - Take that! - So I drive over to her apartment. - Yes. - She's waiting outside the complex, and she's dangling the key. - Huh? - Here you go. Thank you. I was on the phone with you while I picked it up. - Well, yes. And the reason why there was a connection between Cap and I was like, I'm just watching the cub game. Socks games rained out. All right, put the cub game on. Center right there in the hood cave. Cardinals over here, another game over there. And I'm just texting Cap about how impressed I am with Pete Croarmstrong. - And I text him back, "Are you aware what I'm dealing with?" 'Cause I had tweeted it, and you said, "No." - No, it's nice. - Nice and dry on the south side. There's not a drop. - I call him. - Yeah. - Two Americans. (laughing) - I call him. I said, "You're not gonna believe this." He's like, "Who doesn't have a key?" - He said, "Yeah, okay, Shay, thanks a lot." So I get the key, I come back, and you know these bracelets that I wear? - Yes. - For my friend, G, who's battling leukemia. - Yeah. - Excel transplant coming up, just going through so much. Her dad reaches out to me. He runs a company, not a locksmith, but like for corporate, like security and all that, he goes, "I have a guy. I can have him there in 35 minutes, he's in Rossell. He'll pick the lock and get you in." I'm like, "Hang on, let me see if this key works." So thank you, Graham. The key works, I get in. But I got no power. It's black in the house. But I have those little battery packs. - Sure. - So I plug my ring light in, set it up in the kitchen. I got my ring light, and I streamed heart knocks on my phone. My neighbor calls me. Now I've got, you can look at my Twitter, all these people. How do you know that the key, dude? My neighbor calls Jordan, his wife Lauren. He said, "Do you have a ladder?" Yeah. You guys locked out? Yeah, how do you not have a key, Jordan? - Oh my God. - You've got to have a key. - That's unbelievable. That's unbelievable. - Take the ladder out. The ladder is too short. But I have a bigger ladder, but I had to move, having an earth in the garage to get it out. - Yeah, God forbid. - I get the ladder out, I walk it over. He climbs the ladder to his second story and breaks in through his own window. Text me. I'm in! - You want to come get the ladder now? No, keep it. I'll get it another day. And then I had to go to sleep, plug my phone into a battery, plug the ring light into a battery, and make sure that I got up. And I did, and at 525 this morning, the power came back. - All right. So, I know that you're a type of individual that you don't like clutter in your life. - I hate clutter. - It's fine. But a key is not clutter. The idea that you don't have a key on standby is nonsense, Cap. - It's not some badge of honor to say, "I haven't had a key in 20 years, ha ha, take that." - What does that mean? What award do you get for that? - Well, first of all, what's wrong with having something on standby to just be because of things like this? You know that we're in the summer. You know that we can get these blackouts at any point because of the storm. But you got to have that standing by. I mean, what if I don't know that the dogs and men do you out of town and you can't get into your home? Okay, say the dog walker says, "It's summer, I'm out, take that." - Yeah, sorry, we're on vacation. We're in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. - Yeah. - I'm screwed. - So now you're getting two flights to get to Jackson Hole. - Right. - To get the key. So what I think I'm gonna do is get a lock on my door that's keypad. - Okay. - So both. Something that you can enter with a key and the keypad or? - You don't need a key. It's keypad only. But it's not powered. It is like it's got a battery backup in it. Yeah, you'll be fine. A bunch of people were tweeting out to me about that. - What happens if the battery dies count? - It has a backup to it. - Oh, it's a backup to the backup to the battery. - Yeah, whatever happened to the plastic rock that sits on the front porch that you pop the key underneath it? - I feel like if we can beak and rob me, rob me. - Oh, well, that's a nice-- - You don't think people are-- - That's a awfully nice looking rock right there. Let me see if there's a key underneath it. - You don't think that people are thinking that now, this morning thinking about, "Hey, enter's a home with a keypad." Just take a look at his fingerprints. Cap, you still need the key. Ah, I'm sorry, Marshall, Lila Kaplan. This jackaloo next to me. Oh God, laughing at you, having a cup of coffee. (laughing) Why don't you just go to give himself a key? Right there, Master Lock. Why are you going to true value? Anyway. (laughing) What's in the paper today? - Exactly. - So why do you do this to yourself, Cap? Why is your life like this? - I don't know. - I mean, you just can't listen to a normal life of just saying, "Hey, the power's in it, it's okay." Key, entry, got myself a ring light, take that. This driving back and forth, getting ladders for the neighbor, just like your whole life is a sitcom. - And then Olin calls me. He's like, "Wow, those are crazy wins." I said, "Yeah, I'm sitting here in darkness." Are you? He said, "Yeah, the power's all out, but I have a generator. Why don't you?" And I said, "What do you mean?" He's like, "It's called a Genarac. Power's my whole house." From like, "All right, you know what." (laughing) Sorry, Mr. Future Hall of Fame football player. I didn't think of that. - You know, Jay Moore, when I tell you around here is two Americas, I swear to you, two Americas. - And that's one to grow on. (upbeat music) - Who doesn't have a key in 2024? Now, we've already had some people. - More than you think. - Yeah, that's a lot of tweets of people. I don't have a key. - Well, it's fine. Again, this is why we have two Americas here. There's no way that I would say Shea, Jay Moore, or myself could walk around life and sayin', pullin' up my trouser, sayin', "I don't have a key, proud of it. Take that, America!" - Who needs a key? - That's old school. - It is? That's ridiculous. - The only thing I have is the fob to the car. That's it. - For convenience, of course. - Right. - For convenience. - Do you have a key? - Do I have a what? - A key for your car. - No, I have a key fob. - Push start. - Yeah. - It's really hoodie. - It's a fob too, but my fob has a key. - It's inside. - It's inside the fob. - Yeah, you take the little piece of the fob off and there's actually a physical key in it. It's the same in my car as well. - I know, I have my wife's truck right now. No, I don't think this one has a key. - Just remember this guy went to Paris and he bought a Louis Vuitton bag. Beautiful bag. Big nice white man purse. He could just put something like, I don't know, keys in it, perhaps headphones, perhaps his powdered electrolytes every morning. Instead of when I walk in and J-Moor is throwing things at me. Here's caps headphones. Can you put them on the desk? Here's caps electrolytes. Can you put them on the desk for him? Boy, if only you had a beautiful Louis Vuitton white man purse that you purchased in Paris. You can carry all these things. - I like the convenience of walking around like Conor McGregor though. - That's me. - That's that. I've walked around and all I have is my phone and the fob to my car. That's it. - Okay, but then a situation like this occurs yesterday. That's, I mean you, thank God for the dog walker. - Oh God. - Because again, yeah, you might have had someone trying to get into your house. So do you know that person would have been smooth to get into your, or would there be scrapes on your door to try to get in, to get, to garner entry? So who knows? Actually, while I was waiting for her to answer, I walked in the rain, walked around my house. Which window would be the cheapest? I had to break. - Oh my God. - I'm like, what? Can't break the sliding glass door. God, those are all locked. - You know what would have been cheap? A key. - Key? - Yeah. - Yeah. - An actual key. It would have been cheaper to call a locksmith to break into your home. - Oh, I had to break a window. - Oh, my God. I walked up to the front door and I'm like, okay. All right. Felco does doors. - Yeah. - What would it cost if I kicked in the front door? - Cicked in. - Yeah. - Now you're injuring yourself. - You're talking about the rock being a beacon that says rob me, rob me. What's a disattached door frame? - Right. Someone broke into the Kaplan's house. Call the police. - Oh. - No, that was me. - No, it's all right, officer. It was me. You're the owner of the home? - Yeah. David Kaplan, Captain J. Hood. Recap on YouTube. You're under arrest. Oh, God. You have an ID? No, because I don't like to carry anything around. I don't have ID, sir. Oh, God. - Now he's full circle. - Yeah, now because full circle, because he's got nothing on him. - It's just, I mean, again, cap, I understand convenience. But common sense has to be able to be part of this. You can't be going around just like proud, pounding your chest that you don't have a key. It should be right there someplace on the property, just in case, or as mom used to do, keep it to the across the street neighbor. - Yeah, we talk-- - We talk, take care of it. - We talk, Jordan, Lauren, and I were standing in front of the house while we were trying to get the ladder unfolded for him. And she said, I'm gonna go to Home Depot tomorrow and have a key made for our house. How about if I give one to you for their house? You have one made, give it to us. - That's an interesting idea. - They're very nice people. - I mean-- - Just can't believe they wouldn't have a key to their own house. - This is, it's gonna be at some point, your kids are gonna have to intervene and step in and just have a conversation with you and Mindy. - We're with all the kids this weekend, and I know I'm gonna get blessed. - I think it's time for them to have just a full circle moment, just sit down with dad, mom. Listen, you're getting up in age now, you got circumstances like this, that'll be all. - My daughter lost all three of Maggie, Maggie, and Jenny, all texting me. Jenny, you're welcome to come up to our house. No, I'm good, thanks. - It's unbelievable. Cap locked out of his own home, no key. Shae, could you put this on the pole, please? At a SP in 1,000, do you own a key to your home? Yes or no? - Or do you-- - Do you carry it? - Do you carry a key for your home? - It's gotta be 80/20, yes, would be my guess. - Let's see, you know, I asked a question not for the 80, but for the Russian bot, it'll give you the 20. That's why I'm there for it. - There's plenty, I guarantee you that we'll call in here, 3, 1, 2, 3, 3, 2, 3, 7, 7, 7, 6, let's say they don't carry a key. - That's fine, that's fine, but that's wrong too. They're wrong too, you gotta be able to have a backup plan. - Well, I figured, I found something out, I'm gonna get a backup battery to the keypad, to the garage. (laughing) - I got Tyson Beijing. - Yeah, it's amazing, Jay Moore, like this guy's so heavily reliant on technology, and set up just the meat and potatoes, the way of getting into a home for years and years and years, I don't know, a key, no, technology. - Oh God, it's dark here, what do I do? - Captain J. Hood, weekday morning, 7 to 10. - I need the table. - Truth or the matter is, you're listening to Captain J. Hood on ESPN 1000, weekdays, 7 to 10 a.m. But it'll last a lifetime. It may only be three hours a day, but it'll last you a lifetime. (crowd groaning) ♪ Key, key, key, key, key, key, key, key, key, key, key ♪ ♪ Key, key, key, key, key, key, key, key ♪ - Yes, we're talking about teeth. - Funny guy in there. - Hey, Moore. (laughing) - What a little DJ Khaled morning. Captain J. Hood, eight morning, 7 to 10, here at ESPN 1000, and streaming on the ESPN Chicago app. Here's hoping that you're gonna have a great Wednesday. My partner here, with all the storms, we hope everybody's got their power back and try to get their lives back after that bad storm. Again, south, we didn't get rain until about 8.20, 8.25, but we did not have Latin, South Shore, those kind of storms that was knocking down trees in that. But yeah, so my partner here goes without a key. I mean, again, if you have a key pad cap, if that's how the home is made, that's fine. But I know that there is a key entry in your home, you just didn't have it. And I'm saying that you should always have at least a key standing by. - Right, I do not own a key. Let me say that again. My wife has a key. I do not have not in 20 years, had a key. And this happened a couple of years ago, a year or two ago, and same jack-a-loons fight. - Oh, for heaven's sake, just clear it out, Harry. Oh, for God. I know you didn't have any power, but it doesn't mean that you couldn't drink water. - So, bourbon. - And the, all these jack-a-loon friends of mine, why didn't you use the key pad on the garage door, my guy, John Z? - Because I had no electricity. - Does John Z know how to listen to a radio? - He's listening. - Okay, okay. The whole story was about how there was no power in the home. - Correct. - Hello, John. - Correct. - No power. That's why he could not get entry into his home. - Here's another buddy of mine. He says, "Had to check my own car key ring while I was listening. Two car fobs, a bottle opener, no house key." - It's fine. Again, two Americas. - From Matt. I mean, there's a bunch of 'em. - That's fine, Cap. But again, if you do have the access to a key, again, you have to have a backup because technology, I know we're so reliant on everything technology, but things could happen, right? We did not have it. We thought that we had to go through this in Y2K, and everything would be shut down. It did not. In the year, going into the year 2000. But you still have to have a backup plan. That's all I'm saying. The idea that you had to drive across to prospect heights to get a key from a dog walker. - Wow. - Christ. - Three, one, two, three, two ESV is our phone number. Rolando is in Libertyville on the cap and Jhood. Rolando, good morning. - Good morning, how are ya? - Good, thank you. - Rolando. - Yeah, I'm with a hoodie. Unbelievable cap, gotta have a key. You can put a hoodie over, get a little creative, canvas of property, maybe you got a bearish gnome or something or a bird feeder. You can figure it out. I got full confidence tonight, I'll be out. - Thank you. I don't have an- - There's somebody. - I don't even know. - Nobody's in your garage. They got full access to your house. - That's true? - No, I have an alarm. - Yeah? - Yeah. - So if they were to get access, I got an alarm, I got Fort Knox. And there's nothing of value in there. - That's not true. - Okay, buddy, you gonna get a TV for me? - Emmys. - Wow. (laughs) - I'm gonna get those Emmys. I put 'em up on my wall. Hey, cap, how's it going? - They took my Emmys. - They did? - Hmm. - Sad. - Wow. - Take that. (laughs) - So, Hall of Painplex? - That's up. - Yeah. - So, I'm gonna have to, and Rolando, thanks, man, appreciate you. I'm gonna have to get a couple keys made. - Just off to the side, just in case. - That I'm gonna have to do, that's one. And two, I think I'm gonna have to get a battery backup for the garage door. - You just never know. - Never know. - That's all, that's all this whole exercise is for, to say, "Man, just in case this happens, have this ready." Instead of, "I don't have a way to access my own home." And then the wife says, "Oh, you can't get in. "Here's a laundry list for the jewels." What? That ain't right. How about a plan? Her plan is, "Get fresh milk for the baby." - Right. - Get out of here. She doesn't treat you right. Back to the phone lines we go. (laughs) - Wow. - Lake Forest. And he's out of ESPN 1000, Andy. Good morning. - Good morning, everybody. What's up? - How are you guys? I listen to ESPN all day long, so it's a lot of fun, but I'm with Cap. Although last night I was thinking I need to get a key and hide it somewhere. - So you're like me, you don't carry a key? - Not at all. Just a key fob. That's all I got. - That's same here. That's it. How 'bout that? Let's go out and get drinks. The no key family. Take that. - When Hody Pottol of Keyes, I'm like, why would you walk around with all that stuff? - Exactly. - Who wants to walk around like Schneider from one day in time? - And Andy, are you sure that I do? - Well, I don't know. You have waved him around. You put him in your backpack. I'm just making that assumption. - Yeah, well, it's not in my pocket when I sit down for dinner. - That's true. (laughs) - I got enough things protruding out of me. I wouldn't wanna have keys doing that too. - By the way, the burger greenwood, I'd put that up against any burger around it. - Oh, it is spectacular. - That'll be fine. - Yeah, you're the man, Andy. - Thank you very much. - It's a spectacular burger. Double cheese. - Oh my God. - There we go. - It's incredible. - Good to hear from Andy from Lake Forest. - There you go. - And now he leaves line open. 3, 1, 2, 3, 3, 2. ESP is our full number. On 94 is Derek on Cap and Jay Hood. Derek, good morning. - Hey, good morning. - What's up? - Yeah, Cap, you mentioned that you're gonna now get a backup battery for your keypad. The problem is it's your garage door. The back of battery is kind of pointless. - Is it? - Wait, wait, wait. I'm talking about like a battery backup to get the door up. I would assume it would power both. - Well, I mean, that's a backup generator, basically for your garage door opener. - Yeah, I need to go. How much is a generator? - Whatever it is. Whatever it is, you've got it. Go ahead. 'Cause I mean, instead of getting a key, get a generator, same price, probably. - Well, it would power the house. - Right. - But it also would make sure that the food didn't spoil. - That's right. - Like if the power wasn't on yet, eventually the food's gonna spoil in the freezer and in the refrigerator, so it kind of pays for itself. - Yep. And you see Olin Crews there at the top of the hill. What's going on, kid? Oh, I've got a generator. Ha, ha, ha. You don't? Hmm. - Yeah, and I said to him, he's like, I got the chainsaw and I'm cutting the tree down that's blocking my driveway. I'm like, he's out of his mind. - I'm like, you are? He's like, yeah. - He's out of his mind. - He goes, you don't have a chainsaw? No. Where are you powering it? Oh, I've got a generator rack. Tell you. - This is the best. - The guy in Twitch chats offering to install a generator at your home cap, 10 kilowatts for eight grand. - How much? (laughs) - $8,000. - Okay. - You've got it. - I'll pass. - It's no problem. Grand for a generator. They can't cost that much. - From a person on Twitch, willing to do that? - I just googled. - I googled Generac. They start around 4,000. - Oh, God. - Coming up, more of your phone calls. Three, one, two. - Wow, here they are. - Three, three, two. - Generac protector. Protect your whole house. - 17 grand. - That's no problem. - Okay. - Don't you have a, don't you have a Generac guy? - No. (laughs) - I think we all do, don't we? - Can we get him as a sponsor, Danny? - So there you have it. The more of your phone calls, can we have also still to come? Some thoughts about hard knocks last night for the Bears. On The Captain Jay Hood Morning Show. ♪ Only the most ♪ (beeping) - Here's to Dave's headline. - headline. - With Captain Jay Hood. - With all of your keys to the Chicago sports scene. - You're not funny. - Here's David Kaplan. - Good night for the Cubs, still alive. - Cubs win again. Nine, five, dance be Swanson homers for the third time in eight games. It was on his birthday. His mom was in the stands. He hit the homer made eye contact with mama. It was a good night. Miguel Amaya, another multi hit night, say is a Zuki, a two run homer. Cubs win, baby. One more to go. They get Paul Skins against our guy, Kyle Hendricks, today 11.35 at Pittsburgh Cubs go for this series. Sweet, tough. White Sox. Had some meteorological problems. Garrett Crochet started through four pitches. The heavens opened up. Was focused right over the ballpark and they suspended the game. He will not make the start today. And the Rangers and the Sox play a guarantee rate deal. - You understand why the Sox didn't play? It was against a Bulls playoff game. So they decided to just cancel it. - Oh wow. And the Bears are down to 53. They have procedural moves to make today like re-signing fullback Curry. Blossing game once they process injured reserve moves. Could they bring a quarterback back on the practice squad? Is a question we should find the answer out later today. Jay Moore. Vicki. - Yapp and Jay Hood are back. - I appreciate your show.

On ESPN 1000 and streaming on the ESPN Chicago app. We're with you till 10 o'clock. Then my green bird comes in at 10. Lucking a dollar in for Carmen Herko at 12 o'clock. It'll be Jesse and Sylvie at three. Right into White Sox baseball as the Sox will play a double header starting at four right here on the home of the White Sox ESPN 1000. Four and then again at 7.30. If you're just joining us, I know we had some bad weather, trees down and bad rain at thunderstorms depending on what area that you're in around the Chicagoland area. Especially in Cap's area where the trees are down, electricity's out. And of course, as Cap tries to go into his home, he realizes he can't get into his own home because the power is out and he's got no key. That's at the ready. And so we're asking the question and the poll questions up at ESPN Chicago. Key or no key? How do you ride with a key or no key? All I know, Cap is it's 2024 and technology's great. But at some point, we have to go back to our old instincts. You know, the old couple of sticks to be able to make fire. The whole, you know, getting that stone there and make yourself like a little ride of sentence if you have to, like back in the Stone Ages, like the Flintstones did it. Cap, you just have to have it just in case. Backup plans, but no, Mr. Gadget here loves to be able to have the technology. The freedom to just walk in, take that, no key for 20 years. That's fine, Cap. But what if, and guess what? What if happened yesterday? Not good. Not good. So I was laying on the couch in the dark. In the dark. With my phone attached to a backup battery, like a charging battery. Yeah. And goodness, I am a fanatic about charging those. And I had a flashlight propped up on the couch so I could have a little light in the room 'cause I don't like sleeping in the dark. God. Oh my goodness. (laughter) What are you laughing at? What's so funny about that? You're gonna be a little nightlight, you're plugging it through the hole. I have a nightlight. I do not like A, sleeping alone, and B, in the dark. (laughter) Oh my God. (laughter) I don't like sleeping in the dark. I don't like sleeping in the dark. It's your home, not the fister, and Milwaukee. No one's gonna come get ya. I sleep with the curtains or the shades wide open so that the light swims in. This gets better, folks. You are a child. (laughter) Christ. (laughter) You're an adult. I don't like to sleep. What the lights are? Oh God. Someone will get me. Program directors from my past will come haunt me. Ooh. You're an adult, Cap. It's not like I leave the light switch on, but I leave the, I don't pull any blinds down, so the street like, streams in. (laughter) What, he just hears at night, walking through the halls, just the echo of W.M. B's. (laughter) Oh my God. I don't like it. I work for that guy. I rest in peace. I know. (laughter) That's unbelievable. You gotta plug your nightlight in. Does Minnie do that for you? Put the nightlight in and switch it on before bed. It automates a motion thing, it goes on. Of course, again, technology. It's on, take that. That's it. Good night, Minnie. All good. Switch would like to know if you have Minnie check under the bed before you go to sleep. (laughter) Wow. There's nothing underneath there, right? Nice and clean. So it is, we're good. We're good, I got the power back on. And I actually have the key from the dog walker. Right there. And I am gonna go to Home Depot today. And after I go to Home Depot, I will have a key. Simple, right? Simple. Yep. This is unbelievable. (laughter) 3-1-2, 3-3-2-E-S-P-A, 3-3-2-3-7-7-6 is our phone number. Are you proud to say that you walk around the world with no key? Or do you have a key just in case? Captain J. Hood, weekday morning, 7 to 10. Man, sit your ass down. (laughter) (upbeat music) You're listening to Captain J. Hood. Follow the show on Instagram @thecatman and @igjhood. This is ESPN Chicago. Chicago's home for sports. It's the Captain J. Hood Morning Show on ESPN 1000 and streaming on the ESPN Chicago app. Our video stream on Twitch and YouTube is brought to you by Buffalo Wild Wings, the number one pick for Wings, Beer and Sports. So cap the hard knocks as you watched in the gloamen of your home yesterday, the hard knocks. And by the way, update app test generators. I'm gonna have 'em come out and give me an estimate. I spoke to the great Steve Shapiro. First of all, you were listening. I had 'em on speaker. Sure. Man, do you guys sell generators? Yeah, why? Got locked out of my house last night. What did he do? Lapped. He started laughing. Sir slapped without you. Yeah. Would you have a key? No. No, Shapiro, that's why I'm calling. (laughing) With all these people on Twitter. True theorem. My key ring has two keys. Card house, I'm never without them. Good, I'm happy for you. Would you like to talk about hard knocks now? Yes. Okay, since we have about six minutes left, I just thought we would ask your thoughts about hard knocks. I watched it just like you did yesterday. Hard knocks, Chicago bears, better known as the Adrian Colbert Show. Nothing like seeing a guy that gets cut, getting all that TV time. That was unbelievable how much TV time. (laughing) This is what the Bears wanna do, Cap. They're just gonna show you the good of the organization. We knew that before it started, that the Bears are gonna show the best. It's not going to be the vintage hard knocks that you and I have seen over the years. It's a determined team, it's a young team. They look like they're having fun. That's what they wanna portray. That's what they say is happening. Now we know it's training camp. It gets ugly. And I know that there was a lot of conjecture on social media last night about how the Bears had a fight the week that they were filming at hard knocks and it was not shown. Correct. So is that like the remnants of the fight they show where you just saw some guys kind of like in a scrum? I think that might have been the remnant. Look, I'm a diehard Bears fan. Grew up a diehard Bears fan, die a diehard Bears fan. And it's super cool that that's my team out there. But they have sanitized this thing to such a degree, they're better than that. It has to be more authentic. Like when the coach is talking to Ian Wheeler, run through him. Now I can promise you it was probably more like, would you eff and lower your pads and run through the blankety plank? We don't have to sanitize every single thing. We don't. Cap is frustrating is that running backs coach was, you know was more than that. He's like, it's not pissed. It's just kind of like trying to get the most out of him. Motivating. Ian, you're better than this, man. Let's go. And just Ian just doesn't have the demeanor to be able to have that football endomorphic gene yet, because he's a rookie. We do not have 53 choir boys in there. That's correct. That's not reality. They're good people, the whole deal. But guess what? They drop profanity in there. Some of it, it's just, it's so leave it to Beavers to what Potty Mark potash tweeted. He's right. It's father knows about all these old vanilla shows. Give me a little bit. I don't, again, I've had friends of mine go, dude, it's really cool. I can watch it with my 10 year old. I'm happy for you. That's great. There's got to be a happy medium here. I don't need to see Roman doomsday. And who was he with? The receiver from USC that got caught. They were at Woodlands. That's right by where Sylvie and I live. Yeah. Shopping. Shopping, okay. Do I need as much of those guys standing at the Sears Tower on the observation deck? They had that camera on there for like five minutes. The wide shot. Yeah. I'm like, you can go to something else. No, they just kept it there. Like, wow. Like, really? That way we need all of that. Yeah. Well, there you have it. It's too much. Maybe someone else that we know can address this. Maybe it's going to get better in the future. Maybe George knows. (upbeat music) Oh God. Well, hi there. And welcome to Letters with George. I'm owner George and Ryan and Matt are football guys. And we look forward to another great year of Chicago Bears football. (laughs) Well, we get letters from far and wide asking questions about your Chicago Bears. Like this one. Charlie from Shanahan. Charlie writes, "Dear George, "why are you not in this year's hard knocks? "And where is the adult language this season? "Things seem to be very, very clean at Hallis Hall." Sign, Charlie. Well, you're Charlie. Mom doesn't want the naughty language. So we leave it out. We were thinking something like the Waltons with football cleats. Or leave it to Beaver, football style. Mom doesn't like it. However, when I've been at practice, I've heard words like, God and mother. (beep) And, (beep) naughty words like that. But mom can't hear it because she doesn't like it. Sign, George. Well, we'll just put this in an envelope. Look it. Put a stamp on it and set it off to the career. Thanks so much and go Bears and go hard knocks. No swearing. It's naughty.
