What's up, welcome in emergency live episode of Hogan John's for you as the bears have a new general manager, the guy we talked about this morning, John Z, it's been a long day already.

That was some great stuff from Nate Taylor, if you haven't seen it, heard it, watched it, whatever, check it out, it's still on this YouTube channel.

But yeah, I'm a lot of insightful stuff and here we are. It's finally over. It's a day over, right? Two weeks since the firing of Matt and Maggie Ryan pace.

And here we are with a new GM for the bears and Ryan polls. Yeah, not over yet, though, because they sell fire at coach. So be another like three weeks for that or something.

Ryan falls on his interview with 13 guys. Yeah, some over zoom, some in person. We'll see where it goes. Thanks for everyone tuning in live. I see somebody in the comments already saying that it's 1 a.m. in Germany where they are and they are awake for this episode. So that is awesome.

Appreciate the support and we can see your comments. So there's a lot coming in, but we'll share some and if you have some questions, you can drop in with that.

But yeah, that's our second episode already today. And John's is right. If you missed the episode we did this morning, we recorded it before Ryan polls accepted the job.

But if you listen to it, it was basically a Ryan polls is probably going to be the GM podcast. It's really good timing. We had Nate Taylor on who covers the chiefs for the athletic and obviously has a good relationship with Ryan polls and has gotten to know him over the years.

He had some amazing insights. So at the very least, I mean, we're going to give you our reactions to everything here, but make sure you go back when this is over and check out that episode for the really just a good insight of what who Ryan polls really is.

And then we transitioned the conversation to Nate Tyson, who was talking about who could be potential fits as a coach with Ryan polls. So even though we recorded the whole thing before the hiring was official, there's still plenty of good stuff for you to go back and listen to there. So make sure you check that out. But since it is official and we did tell you that we would go live if there was a general manager hiring.

We are here, follow us on Twitter, add Adam Hogue, add Adam Johns, you can read our reaction already. Mine is up NBC sports Chicago dot com john Z on the athletic dot com slash hogan john's Kevin fish pain there as well.

And plenty more to come over the coming days as the bears, whenever they want to make this official john Z, that'd be great.

Yeah, 607 PM here in Chicago. Yeah, official release from the bears.

Well, I think that's because I'm not necessarily sure the inkstry.

Like I think you verbally accepted the job. I think you probably jumped into some conversations with some coaches today started to get to work, but I think the contracts will be worked out.

Are you telling me the bears don't use docu sign? I don't think Dave McGinnis use docu sign.

Dave McGinnis is good reference. Wow. Hey, you can't reference Dave McGinnis in a situation like this, because we all know what happened with Dave McGinnis though, right?

Hey, I'm just covering my basis here. I just wanted to be known that while we are alive here, I don't think this is official. The bears have not announced it.

That's true. And if there's any organization, I said this earlier with Wani, we did on their center podcast live earlier too.

And as soon as I started saying this stuff, Wani goes, oh, Dave McGinnis, which he would know little something about.

Oh, yeah. It's that was the guy getting hired after he got fired. Yeah, very well, very well.

If they're not familiar with that story, that was which McCasky was in charge and Michael Michael. That's why he lost his president.
