Summary

Hoge & Jahns welcome David Kaplan — host of ESPN Chicago’s Kap & J. Hood and founder of REKAP — for a special crossover episode packed with Bears history, rivalry talk, and 2026 predictions. Kap takes us back through the roots of his long-running battle with Packers fans, reflects on the end of the Matt Eberflus era at ESPN Chicago, and shares his perspective on how Ben Johnson and the Bears’ front office have reshaped the organization. The conversation also explores the true crossover between REKAP and Hoge & Jahns — from Adam Hoge and Adam Jahns’ longtime history with Kap to Katie Langan’s role as both Kap’s social media manager and the producer of Hoge & Jahns — plus the story behind how REKAP was built. Plus, Kap gives his over/under predictions for Caleb Williams, Rome Odunze, Colston Loveland, and the Bears’ overall 2026 win total. A fun, wide-ranging episode filled with Bears insight, behind-the-scenes stories, and plenty of debate on another edition of Hoge & Jahns. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
