What is up everybody? Welcome to the very first episode of my favorite cub proud to be part of the House of L podcast network.

I'm excited for our very first guest guy kicking it off, lifelong Chicago Cubs fan, professional wrestler,

podcaster, children's book author. This guy is many a thing. And when he was a child, he used to call up the score. Chicago's number one sports radio station to talk about the Cubs.

I've got the one the only Colt Cabana on. How are you doing Colt? I'm great. Yeah. How are you doing buddy? I'm great man. I'm pumped. I'm mute. You and I have hung out many a time. I'll tell our listeners that and we talk Cubs a little bit.

But to have a deep dive with you is going to be really fun, especially for the first episode of this podcast and which we're going to talk about who your favorite cub of all time is.

Well, listen, born and raised. I can't say on the north side and then in the north suburbs of Chicago, Illinois, my mother, my mother was born in Rogers Park and had season tickets.

She would always say she would sit in the bleachers for a quarter or whatever the F it was. You know, like she had season tickets. She let you know she's still with us, but love love the Cubs is always supported the Cubs.

And like my love into the Cubs. I know you didn't ask me that, but I'll start into it is my mom was a teacher was a teacher for the Chicago public school system for 25 30 years.

And she and I she would get home before I would from school and I would always come home and she would always be on the couch always watching the Cubs.

That was just like in my brain, you come home and mom's watching the Cubs and into it and knows all the players and loves it. So that's kind of where my Cubs loves seeped in it came down from my parents.

Well, that was going to be my first question and that's a great answer. There's something about lifelong Cubs fans, especially our parents generation with day baseball coming home from school. It's on.

They're you can you can tell the mood. I remember walking home from school. As soon as I entered into our house, I could tell if the Cubs were winning or losing based on my father's mood.

Yeah, and you know, something about the voices of Steve Stone and Harry Carey are like the voices of of my childhood for sure. I did they just were on TV so much and if a game back then was nine hours, right, you know, now we shorten it up a little bit.

But if again, you know, they're on our TV for whatever it is three, four hours sometimes.

Oh, yeah, definitely. Now you when I was messaging you about doing this podcast, you had told me that you remember calling into the score.

The day the Cubs acquired Steve Bouchal. Now Steve Bouchal had an all time 90s mallet, yellow, flow in blonde hair, great third baseman defensively solid enough hitter.

But I do remember Harry Carey. We're talking about the voices of our generation really kind of struggling with him in the 90s, but I also remember him being like, what a stab by Steve Bouchal.

Oh, I thought you're saying struggling with his name, maybe maybe the name to you. I kind of feel like Bouchal did not roll off the tongue for the late great Harry Carey.

I mean, it did not. And of course, I think the all time. Well, we can go back and forth. I don't know who you're all time favorite Harry Carey mess up name is. Do you have one?

I do. And I'm glad you're asking this because it's my player. It happens in my favorite player. Maybe it's everybody's. Do you want you want to go or can I go?

First, because I feel like yours is probably better than mine. Mine's very unique. I brought it up to people not people love it when I tell them this Harry Carey name mess up.

But they don't always remember it. So my it happens to be my favorite cup of all time. Andre Dawson. Dawson was on first. I want to say George Bell was betting fifth and hits one into the right center field gap.
