Summary

Arguably the biggest show in Red Line Radio history as we're joined by Blackhawks General Manager Stan Bowman to face Chief's music. It's an unqualified must listen interview and landmark moment in both Stan and Chief's lives. Much respect to Stan coming into Barstool Chicago HQ. After that we're joined by NFL Offensive/Defensive Line specialist Brandon Thorn to breakdown the Bears/Rams trench warfare coming Monday Night. Great interview for our diehard Bears fans that want to learn more about what makes our team tick. Just a huge show heading into Monday Night Football. All Gas No Breaks!

There's no way to avoid the title of the lead. We can't bury it chief. You got your guy's stand-bombing's coming on.

0:16.0

Yeah, I still I still can't believe it and you know, they I got a text late Sunday night that they were

0:22.3

interested in doing this interview and doing it in person and

0:25.6

and I still thought that they were going to cancel right up until Stan walked in the door. In fact, like the two media guys came in first and he wasn't there and I like my heart's

0:34.8

tank like they came all this way in person to tell me that Stan wasn't doing it. So, yeah, damage goods. The scars are there. It's okay, buddy. We'll get it. He ended up showing up. Like you don't have to worry about it. He walks through the door. We're going to be joined later by Brandon Thorne to he's in NFL specials. He's basically the foremost leading expert on offensive and defensive line play.

0:54.4

He's going to come and talk about the Bears Rams match up because there's so many fucking huge players on both lines that are going to be showing up on Monday night.

1:09.9

Stan or chief. Both.

1:13.1

Chief was very calm.

it's kind of bouncing questions and stuff. I mean, for chief, this was interviewing Trump for Dave. You know what I mean?

1:29.4

Like this was. Yeah, monster.

1:31.4

This is white whale. Yeah, in monster. It's not even really a white whale because I never really thought it was possible.

1:37.6

You know, like, I thought that there would be other people in the organization that would be possible.

1:41.8

I thought it would be more likely that we would even get Patrick Kane and Stan Bowman.

1:45.6

So credit to him. It is like a weird line.

1:49.3

When you've been criticizing somebody for fucking years and you made a clown shirt with his face on it and you tweeted that out a bunch of times to have him sit four feet from you.

1:58.9

And then you'll and then have to really just say all those same things, but like two is face that that was like.

2:05.4

It was a difficult line for me to walk, but I tried to do it, you know, as best I could and not really.
