In the final hour, Danny Parkins and Matt Spiegel rounded back on a Bears conversation from earlier, reacting to what Dave Wannstedt had to say about Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh. Does it make sense for Harbaugh to leave a top-tier quarterback recruit fresh off an appearance in the College Football Playoff to join the Chicago Bears? Also, Shane had a run-in with a deli worker about his beard earlier in the day. Another reminder he's lonely!

In the third hour, Danny Parkins and Matt Spiegel were joined by good friend Dave Wannstedt, who's back in Naples -- and he's got his buddy Whitey with him!

Also, the boss Mitch Rosen is making Danny work an extra show on Sunday, and Spiegs learned something new about McCaskey. So he had to share. Then, let's look back at when the Bears decided to hire Ryan Pace over Chris Ballard as their general manager. In hindsight, it wasn't a great call.

Danny Parkins and Matt Spiegel opened their show by asking, so, what's the verdict? Was Spiegs able to stay up for the entire Bulls game the night before? Then, comedian Nicky Smigs joined the show to fire Bears coach Matt Nagy the only way he can – with a cast of celebrity impressions.

In the final hour, Danny Parkins and Matt Spiegel turned their focus to the Bulls, who host the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday night in what should be their toughest game of the season thus far.

Danny Parkins and Matt Spiegel were joined by former Bears tight end and friend of the show Zach Miller to tell us about director of player engagement Lamar "Soup" Campbell, who's part of the team's search committee for a new general manager and head coach.

Later, former Bears tight end and friend of the show Zach Miller joined the program to tell us about director of player engagement Lamar "Soup" Campbell, who's part of the team's search committee.

It's not every day you get to start your show off talking to Jon Lester, but that's what Danny Parkins and Matt Spiegel did. The man regarded as the best free-agent signing in the history of Chicago sports, Lester joined the show to reminisce about his 16-year MLB career and Cubs tenure after announcing his retirement. He also discussed what the Hall of Fame would mean to him and what's next in life.

In the final hour, Danny Parkins and Matt Spiegel asked this about Bears fans: 24 hours removed from that abomination of a George McCaskey press conference, do you feel any better today? You've got about 10 head coaching interview requests and five or six general manager interview requests right there in front of your face. Are you in a good place? Then, the Bulls host the Pistons on Tuesday evening to open a stretch of playing four games in five days.

Danny Parkins and Matt Spiegel argued about whether it was a smart decision by the Bears to hire Hall of Fame executive Bill Polian as a consultant in their search for a new head coach and general manager. Polian is here to save the Bears by finding their next top football leaders, but Spiegs wishes he'd stick around a little longer.

In the second hour, Danny Parkins and Matt Spiegel continued their Brian Flores conversation as the Bears have requested to interview him for their coaching vacancy. Who should be hired first -- the head coach or general manager? We're in agreement that the head coach candidate should be asked who he thinks a good example of a general manager is. Then, let's go around the country and hear from respected football talkers. Are the open gigs at Halas Hall considered to be attractive? Also, Hall of Fame executive Bill Polian is here to save the Bears by hiring their next top football people, but Spiegs wishes he would stick around a little longer. Later, BetQL Daily host Joe Ostrowski joined the show to share the latest odds and discuss that killer Georgia cover from Monday night.

Danny Parkins and Matt Spiegel opened their show by taking a look at the names the Bears have already requested to interview for their vacant head coach and general manager positions. Focusing in on the former head coach of the Miami Dolphins, why the hell is Brian Flores available?!? A Miami Herald column mentioned he might be a little bit of a dictator. Is that something you want for this Bears program?

Kreutz also discussed what changes the Bears need to make at season's end.

Danny Parkins and Matt Spiegel opened their show by welcoming on Bulls television color analyst Stacey King, who has returned to his broadcasting chair after a rough bout with COVID-19.

Danny Parkins and Matt Spiegel were joined by good friend Dave Wannstedt, who's at home for the first time in a long time. We're incredibly sad about it. But he's drinking old-fashioneds, so all is well. What's the future of the Chicago Bears organization come Monday? Wanny has a thought. Then, we throw a bunch of names at him to potentially be the Bears' next head coach and he loves all of them? How does this man know every single man personally? And, Wanny was the head coach of one of the late John Madden's All-Madden teams!

Danny Parkins and Matt Spiegel were joined by Yahoo Sports national writer Vinny Goodwill to talk hoops. Listen, it's not often Goodwill compliments the Bulls. At least not on THIS show. And although he spent a few minutes doing just that, he also doesn't think the Bulls are a team currently built for an NBA title. Would Pacers big man Myles Turner help that case? Yes, but the trade price would likely be Bulls youngsters Coby White and Patrick Williams as well as a pick. Hard pass!

In the final hour, Danny Parkins and Matt Spiegel pondered what lies ahead for the Bears in the coming days.

Would Pacers big man Myles Turner help that case? Yes, but the trade price would likely be Bulls youngsters Coby White and Patrick Williams as well as a pick. Hard pass!

Danny Parkins and Matt Spiegel opened their show by revisiting a topic from the day prior -- Danny's need for a vasectomy. Why can't he have a vasectomy live on the air? Steve Dahl did it in the '80s. And the Twitch numbers would be through the roof.

Danny Parkins and Matt Spiegel shared how Packers star quarterback Aaron Rodgers responded to Score insider Hub Arkush's explanation on our show Tuesday of why he won't vote for Rodgers for MVP. And needless to say, Rodgers isn't very happy. But ALSO not surprisingly, it sounds like Rodgers didn't even listen to the interview.
