If you are listening to this and you are not a Patreon Supporter, this is the Cubs Pod, which is a daily recap of the games. Sometimes, especially when the Cubs do something really bad, Cotton gets angry and rants for way to long. He's kind of like that old dog that sometimes bites people. You know you should probably get rid of him, but he's been with you for so long that you are willing to just deal with it sometimes. Also, he generally bites the people who deserve to be bitten.
