| 0:00.0 | Hey, Jason. How are you? |
| 0:01.8 | What's going on? What's up, guys? Speaks, welcome back. |
| 0:04.9 | Hey, thanks, buddy. And as much as I would like to talk about the radio stunt possibilities of you versus Chris Emma at the bye week, |
| 0:12.6 | I think we should go right to the Bears news of the day, because there is a lot. |
| 0:17.5 | We've texted the three of us about the absurdity of last year's captains and how that all |
| 0:23.5 | worked out. And we've got seemingly a much more... It returned to normal. Yeah, normal is definitely |
| 0:31.7 | the word, the word that comes to mind. Tell people who the captains are and tell people your thoughts |
| 0:36.7 | on the way that this |
| 0:37.7 | was explained to you today by Ben Johnson. So it's, it's player vote and it is too very, this is |
| 0:45.6 | reasonable to me, Speegs, is two guys on offense, two guys on defense, one guy on special |
| 0:51.9 | teams, which is Cairo Santos. I don't think they had anybody from |

| 1:14.7 | And then on the other side, you've got Grady Jarrett, who has a similar resume to Tunney, |
| 1:21.2 | not quite at Tunis level, a defensive tackle. |
| 1:24.8 | And Kevin Byard, who also has that type of resume multiple all pro selections |
| 1:29.9 | 10 years in the league and then Cairo Santos is your special teams kept that makes a lot of |
| 1:36.3 | sense to me there are guys that had their captain C and captain C pulled off of their jersey how do you think they're going to handle that? |
| 1:47.1 | I don't think anybody at Hallis Hall is making complaints about really anything that Ben Johnson is doing right now. |
| 1:54.3 | I kind of joke with Speeks a lot on group text about his fixation with the eight captains and how that was one of the |
| 2:02.0 | problems but i mean the fact is everything you've been doing the whole way you've been doing things |
