What does the Chicago Bears 2025 schedule release have in common with Dave Coulier in a movie theater? Find out on this episode of Zero Doinks as the boys tick through all 17 obvious wins, starting with Monday Night Football in Week 1 against JJ McCarthy and the Vikings. Thanks for listening, we love you and want to bathe you.
Zero Doinks is back for Season 7 and we have never been more full of life. So much has changed since S6 ended with the golden foot of Cairo Santos breaking the hearts of annoying Packers fans. The dream head coach candidate surprisingly said yes to Kevin Warren and the Bears braintrust. Ben Johnson's coaching staff is expensive and impressive. Virginia McCaskey is dead. Dick Jauron? Also dead. But not Zero Doinks. We've never felt more alive. This will not fail.
Will the Bears losing streak end in 2024? We doubt it. Tonight we wrap up the 2024 version of Zero Doinks and will return after a new coach (and GM?) is hired. But there's a lot to get to, just maybe not a lot of it revolving around the Bears. We love you, we want your Christmas to be so merry and bright. Go Bears, eventually. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/zerodoinks/support
The Bears are riding high and taking a three game winning streak into the bye. The boys of Zero Doinks are taking a mini-bye with them, with the voice of Bill Doinks guiding you home this week. Rick tries to stay hot, the B1G has huge games ahead and we all get to sit back and watch one, and hopefully two, NFC North teams lose this weekend. Caleb is the greatest QB of all time. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/zerodoinks/support
The Bears are back to .500 with no signs of ever going back under. Dan Doinks was on the field on Sunday pregame for the Rams game, and has stories for days about his experience. Thank god he and B are alive. There is no question the Bears are back, possibly all the way, after Sunday's win against the Rams, especially with the Red Rifle looming for his return to Soldier Field this weekend. We'll get you ready, as will the red hot 8-4 Zero Doinks sharp Rick Feelsmen, who is Feelsmen'ing himself after an incredible start to the year.

Episode 4 of Hard Knocks is now out for our enjoyment and the boys of Zero Doinks break it down for you like only they can. Can HBO Max find other storylines besides Flus, Caleb and the Ferret King?

After a hiatus, the boys of Zero Doinks are back as the Bears begin camp in Lake Forest. Caleb looks amazing already and there is no chance our predictions of 11-12 Bears victories will fall short.

With his new WR weapon Rome Odunze, clearly this new era cannot and will not fail. The boys of Zero Doinks chat through each of the five new Bears rookies, with a hat tip to The Average Cheese's Peter Jones and his draft guide, as well as the return of Bill's Comps.

After nearly a full calendar year of losses, the Bears have finally won a football game and the boys of Zero Doinks don't know what to do with themselves. Is this sustainable? Did Dick Butkus have to die for our sins? We discuss the beauty in Washington and look ahead to the Vikings coming to town on Sunday for what could lead to an actual winning streak.

Draft week is finally here. The boys of Zero Doinks cannot stand mock drafts, as you may or may not know, but in order to understand the want to do such things, one must at some point participate. Dan and Bill go through the Bears picks as if they're a drunk Ryan Poles and the results are .... not amazing. Who do we want the Bears to actually take? Which rumors should be believed? Will Ryan Poles do enough to protect Justin Fields or will this be another middling season? Plus the boys dive into the breaking news of Aaron Rodgers finally being traded to the Jets. The king is dead, at long last. What does that do for Chicago's odds in 2023 and beyond?

Poles has a tough call to make with #9, doesn't he? If the Bears don't address OL or DL during round 1, how are we all going to feel as our heads hit the pillow on Thursday night? What's the deal with the beef between Windy City Gridiron's Jacob Infante and Dan Doinks? 72:58 - 107:31 - Rodgers is Dead. The Packers can no longer kick the Bears around with Aaron Rodgers at the helm. Are we okay with the trade results between GB and NY? How do we feel about divisional odds now that Rodgers is gone? 107:31 - END - Let's Wrap this M'Fer Up.

Season five of Zero Doinks is underway and the Bears are so back. We dive into the huge trade of the number one pick to Carolina for a haul that includes WR DJ Moore. Should we apologize for our level of arousal? What do we want to see at pick nine, now? SO many picks. But that's not even the news of the day, now that free agency is wet and wild and GM Ryan Poles has struck on (at least) three new starters during day one. What are the biggest remaining needs? Who's left out there? What are our NFC North rivals up to? How annoying is Aaron Rodgers? Plus tons more, including March Madness chatter with our tradition of Dave Madness arriving this week. Greasetank Frank pops in for an autosports update during his Dipsh!ts and Dipsticks segment. 0:00 - 2:39 - Intro sound, including a beautiful song by Rick Feelsmen (inspired by The Beatles) and a brief song nugget by Bill Doinks (thanks, Bee-Gees) 2:39 - 9:46 - What's on tap tonight.

America's favorite gambling segment takes its usual twists and turns, as Rick Feelsmen gives us all a live version of his weekly award-winning segment "Hamm's N Spreads." Rick received his reward for his S4 contributions and a very naughty man joins us from overseas. What are the boys going to gamble on during the offseason? They have an idea or two. 78:46 -99:32 - B1G Minute. Consider this a March Madness preview. Which of our beloved teams are going to go dancing? Where's the party going to be this year and do we even want our squads playing during it? Plus what in the world is TT Elite and why are we addicted so quickly? 99:32 - 112:24 - Gray Balls.

Welp, the homecoming to Georgia didn't quite go as planned for Justin Fields as he left with another loss and a painful left shoulder. Will he play this week? This year? Should he? Are we going to watch Bears-Jets if he isn't playing? So many questions this episode, including "Does Zero Doinks have a Wikipedia page and if not, why not?" The highlight of these Bears games is probably the Zero Doinks boys losing their cool over Dan Pompei's observations and seeing if Dan Doinks can guess Tweets correctly during "Keep an Eye on Dan." Rick Feelsmen pops in for his three hot picks of the week. Greasetank summarizes 2022's racing season in what may or may not be his last appearance of this year (we hope not).

The 2022 Chicago Bears are the greatest football team anyone has ever laid eyes on. Matt Eberflus is better than Bill Belichick. Justin Fields has turned a corner and will be leading the Bears to glory even earlier than originally thought. The boys (one of whom was oddly not stationary during most of this episode) still can't believe what happened on Monday night in Foxboro. The Bears are back. The Illini are the best team in the B1G, if not the country.

The undefeated Chicago Bears head to Green Bay this Sunday night in front of a crowd of mostly ugly people and we can't wait to get into it. Will Coach Flus ever lose? Will Aaron Rodgers be wasted out of his gourd? How often does Matt LeFleur get his hair cut? I think it's time for the Bears to take the North and never give it back, don't you?

Guy Fieri got things off to a super weird start. 08:53 - 10:14 - How can you become the next Zero Doinks? 10:15 - 35:41 - Packers Preview. Dan Pompei still writes trash game reviews. Lots of priest talk here for some reason. How do we feel going into Sunday night? 35:42 - 43:31 - See Me After Class. This segment first aired in season three, it feels like an appropriate time to revisit one reason why Aaron Rodgers is such a weasel and why we dislike him so. Some of this sounds a bit outdated with the NFL protocols at the time but you get the point. 43:32 - 52:41 - Bears Fantasy Corner. John Lithgow gets us way off track. 52:42 - 1:17:12 - Hamm's N Bread. America's favorite gambling segment with resident shark Rick Feelsmen popping in for his three (or four?) hot picks during his segment within the segment, Hamm's N Spreads. 1:17:13 - 1:36:55 - The B1G Minute. The Big Ten clearly runs through Champaign this year. Sorry, Arby's, we didn't mean it. 1:36:56 - 1:41:24 - Dipsh!ts and Dipsticks. Greasetank Frank gives us a lesson in autosports expertise. Save the date for his upcoming personal race! 1:41:25 - END - Let's Wrap this M'Fer Up.

The boys wrap up their preseason slate of episodes with the return of Dan Doinks from Hawaii. How tan do we think his unmentionables are? Still pretty paste-y? Anywho, the Seahawks were no match for the Bears in preseason game two as they remain on top of the NFC North for a second-consecutive week. What are our feelings on Roquan ending his "hold-in" and playing out the final year of his rookie contract? Tons more, including the Big Ten Minute as Hugh Robertson and the Fighting Illini kick off their 2022 season this weekend versus Wyoming. We are so close to real football, baby.

Eberflus is a bad boy, but will his roster's lack of overall talent be giving him a spanking come December?

If there was any doubt Ryan Poles was going to start slow, the trading of Khalil Mack and additional cutting of three bloated contracts shows otherwise. Welcome to the kick off show for Season 4 of Zero Doinks. We can't believe we haven't been imprisoned yet so consider everyone lucky I suppose.

We still can't believe Justin Fields is the Bears quarterback and we will not tolerate slander on Twitter about JF1. Is Fields a White Sox fan?
