Hey, what's up? We're here to talk to you about a new podcast from Odyssey and Major League

Baseball that relives the Chicago Cubs magical run to the 2016 World Series title. You know,

the one that finally broke a 108 year curse. That's Roy Wood Jr. of the Daily Show who loved

every minute of it. I'm co-host Matt Spiegel of Chicago's 670 The Score. I was on the ground

for every bit of it. The run is a 10-part series that relives that postseason game by game,

but also talks about what the win meant for the Cubs, the city of Chicago, and honestly,

for anyone who just loves a great sports story. This is your chance to remember what it felt like

as we watched history in the making. I know you remember Roy. I was there for game seven in Cleveland

and then I lied to my girlfriend about what I spent the money on. Roy, you know, like she might

hear this or somebody might talk to her about it. I told our son needed a car. How old was he

at the time, Roy? Three. Anyway, here's a few minutes from the first episode of the run where we

talk about the history of Cubs' curses. And while you listen, make sure you go and subscribe

right now to the run wherever you get your podcast. Take a listen.

All right. So the culture of Cubsdom, Roy, is pre-2016 is all about losing. There's so much

losing in the history. And some of it is anecdotally rooted in curses. In general, do you believe in

curses? I do believe in curses. I believe in ghosts. I do pretty much everything but Santa

Claus. I'm rocking with even a tooth fairy in the Easter Bunny. I'll give some 20% validity to

so you didn't have to sell me on the Cubs being cursed. Like that was not a hard sell.

The real curse, by the way, before we even do this, the real curse is bad ownership.

That's the real curse is like owners that just didn't hire the right people and do the right

things. But then there's about 15 major league teams that are cursed.

It's true. But all right. So 1908 Cubs are the absolute state of the art.
