Welcome to the favorites the podcast presented by Bet 365. We are part of the Action Network.

I am Chad Millman, Chief Content

Officer of the Action Network today

is a very special episode for three reasons. We have a special topic close to my heart. We have a special guest.

One of my favorite voices in Chicago sports, one of the few people whose job I wish I had and hot off the presses. This is news as I'm reading this right now.

Matt Mitchell informs me. This is our 500th episode of the favorites podcast.

Look at us.

Look what we've done this week on the show. We're talking 2024 NFL first impressions post

draft continuing the conversation Tuesday. We played pass or play for every

team across the AFC today. We'll do the same for every team in the

NFC with Danny Parkins a brilliant sports radio host at 670 the score in

Chicago. If you don't know Danny no joke I say this with all seriousness to me he is in line

with calm coward Nick Wright amongst the best sports radio voices in the country. He is also the author of a new book, a hard book, not one of those easy books.

The author of a new book will discuss in just a moment, of course joining me on our 500th episode as always, my co-host, my

companion, my compadry, my BFF professional better Simon Hunter. Hello, Simon!

So I wish I would have known on our brought up. Hunter. Hello, Simon.

I wish I would have known.

I brought out the little poppers.

Let's start shooting things off, pop a bottle maybe, but...

I had no idea until I saw it in the script when Matt Mitchell put her in there.

Dude, 500 episodes.

That is no fucking joke.
