Hello everyone, welcome into Sports Talk Chicago. I am Joy Christopoul.

Subbing in for John's Agul. I know what you're thinking. No, I did not break into John's house,

but just think of this more as like a Ferris Bueller's. He's giving me the car keys of the Corvette for the weekend.

We are here to talk about five questions, burning questions in Chicago sports this summer. Got a fantastic guest coming up in just a second, but first we got to give a shout out to all of our amazing affiliates across the great state of Illinois airing this episode right

now, 98.3 of the life, WKAN, W55, the ticket, ACTV, Jed TV, WJOB, Cities 92.9 Talk

biggest burning question for Chicago sports this summer? I'm so excited to be here. This chair

is super comfortable. So let's go ahead.

Let's bring in our guests right now. He is a very welcomed returning guests here to the show.

You might check him out with this fantastic work on Bears Wire. You might have seen him on NBC Football Night in America, in Chicago, all across the world.

It's been Brendan Shakuru. Brendan, come on in, man. How are you today?

Joey, I'm doing well.

But I got to start with the first burning question on my mind.

I have not talked to you since you moved back to Chicago.

How is it? Like, how is everything going? How are you enjoying it? Like Like I'm sure it's been a crazy month for you, but it's got to be going well, I hope.

Thank you so much for asking. I feel like I need to do a 90 day moratorium on complaints. So I'm going to put the complaints aside for right now. I feel like I gotta earn my stripes back

for being gone for 14 years living in Los Angeles

before I start complaining about stuff.

But yeah, I moved to Evanston.

I'm right off the water.
