That feels real now.

The offseason has arrived.

Ben Johnson, Ryan Poles, both speaking today as we have a ton to do on the show,

as we're going to hear from both the head coach and the general manager

as we are flipping around in the old remote world today because we were out at hallis hall

where the CHGO bears team had a great time today hanging out thank you to the bears by the way

the chick-fil-a lunch brought in or breakfast rather I should say the, the yogurt, the biscuits, the coffee,

brags, you know, we, you know, you missed out on everything, buddy.

So just rub it.

Yep, it's the way it is.

I'm just fine.

Me and the cats are steady chilling out here in NWI.

There you go. So, all right. We're going're really upset. You didn't have to drive two hours. Yeah, before we, I'm glad you're comfortable, Gregie. And listen, the great Gregory's, I'm calling you this entire off season. Thank you. Before we get into the cuts, let me just ask you off the top, like your number one takeaway, ho, your number one takeaway, brags from, from the extravaganza that was listening to Ben, you know, look back on the year and Ryan doing the same thing. What do you guys got?

Go ahead, Greg. Yeah, I was going to say for me is I, well, you can talk about the X's and

O's and the Jimmy's and and Joe's as John said yesterday but

for me it is important about messaging and I think Ben Johnson has done such a good job of messaging

from one year ago today when he stepped to the podium as introduced as the head coach of the

Bears to the owners meetings to to mini camp, to training

camp, so on and so forth. And it was important to me in terms of what his messaging was today.

And that is calling it, you know, 2025. Hey, this is 2026. He's already calling it last season.

This is two days ago, right?

And so, like, to me, that's deliberate.
