As we get into this victory Monday with our good friends over at Circus Sports, Illinois.

I am your host, Greg Braggs, Jr., alongside me as always is Adam Rank and Phil

Atosian. Shane Marcell should be joining us here in just a little bit. He's on the road,

and I think he'll be joining us here later on. But let's get into it, boys. It is Packer

Week. It's a victory Monday.

It's been a lot of fun this season as a Bears fan, but now we've reached kind of

the precipice of playoff realities.

Rank, I'll start with you.

You made the trek to Chicago in the frigid cold.

You were in the stands with the fans at Soldier Field celebrating our Chicago Bears.

So, you know, what was that experience like?

What was the atmosphere like of one of the biggest home December wins in quite some time?

You know, it's really amazing.

First of all, not being allowed into the CHGO tailgate. No, I'm just kidding. I was bundled up. Now, it's bundled up. And they're like, hey, do you have a wristband? And then Crystal jumped up. She's like, it's Adam Rank. And I'm like, okay. Let me take off all this gear. No, but a great time. It was fun to be out there at the tailgate party, to meet a lot of the fans. Everybody was so gracious, and it was fun to talk to everybody. And really, like, you know, I've had these experiences recently, and this is one of the, one of the reasons why I wanted to get out to Chicago is like, as much fun as it is to go see the Bears play at SoFi Stadium and in Phoenix and Santa Clara and Vegas and all those spots. It's like, I really just want to go see the Bears play at Sofai Stadium and in Phoenix and Santa Clara and Vegas

and all those spots. It's like I really just want to go back to Chicago and go and witness that.

And the fun thing was is I ended up in front of Jeff Joniak's booth and I tried to get his

attention and the security and were like, leave him alone. And I'm like, uh, okay.

And then I texted.

So I took a photo of me in front of his booth and I sent it to him. And he's like, why didn't you knock? Why didn't you try to get her? I'm like, I tried, Jeff. They, they ushered. Security was doing their job. They don't know who I am. It's fine. It's it's not somebody who worked for the team.
