2025 might be listening to it in 2026 but we're recording it in 2025 parsley rum

your rum my rum our rum parsee rum I went to bennies this weekend i was in chicago went on my annual bennies run i do a bennie's run right before the holidays for the fam it's nice to see some parsee i'm just glad you you know what i should have done is i should have taken a picture of them and put it on the social media, but I didn't. That's on me.

Hand up.

That's absolutely on you.

That's on me, but I did search it out. I did find it. That's crazy. That's crazy. And that's my bad. That's on you. And you know what? You'll be better next time. I will. I will. I'm mad at myself.

Listen, we're going to be better in 2026.

That was 2025.

We're moving on 2026.

I'm mad at myself. Listen, we're going to be better in 2026. That was 2025. We're moving to 1226. I'm going to be thinking about that one now for a while. I'm not going to ruin the episode, though. Go get your parsay. Go to Benis. We have a few things to talk about. How are your holidays, guys? Good? They're great. Yeah. I mean, the lions are dead, but other than that, you know, they're great. But they got the Bears next week. Yeah. And you're at the game. Disgusting of you to go to the game, like this big Bears fan, like, oh, I love the Bears. You don't care about the Bears. I do care about the Bears. You're such a liar. I do care about the bears. I'm completely, totally invested. I'm a Bears fan. I don't know if you saw me. I was out there braving the elements. Not afraid. Okay, went to a tailgate, watched the game. What an epic win against the Packers. And, okay, watch the game last night. Great game. Those losses, I said it when they lost the close game a few weeks ago.

You need those close losses.

You need them late in the season because you got to reset.

Zach sent me the screenshot of you posting about being at the Bears game,

and he just sends me it and goes, this is disgusting. Dakota, I do have a message for you. If it's about the Lions, I'm fragile. So just be nice. It's not about the Lions. It's about some of my relatives, okay, that are Bears fans. Why are they Bears fans? Do they live in the Chicago area? No, they don't. You're from Ohio. No, no. There's Julie's side of the family. Wait, Ohio, Pittsburgh. I forget. Yeah. Oh, the Mlaws. Okay. She's from Chicago. And they do, they live in the Chicago land area. They're very upset about the way that you rant a couple weeks ago about the bears and they're not happy with you

do you know what my rebuttal that is here's my dream scenario okay my dream scenario is that the bears match up with

the packers in the postseason and the packers win 50 to zero. That's my dream scenario right now, and I hate

the Packers too. But Bears fans, I love the Chicago Cubs. I love the Cubs fans. I love Chicago,

the City of Chicago. I hate the Bears right now. I hate him so much. Caleb Williams, very good,

very fun to watch play football. But I have too many friends from Chicago that give me grief about the lions. And I'm weak. I'm a weak man. I can't handle it. I hate the bears. I hope they lose in a just terror, not 50-0. I hope they lose on a double doink to take the lead to win their game. I hope that's what happens. Don't double-. I hope we get another double doink again. I want a triple doink. I want right, upright, crossbar, left upright out. Losers. See you. Meet the Detroit Lions in Cancun. I love how much the bears are in your head right now. A hundred percent they are. percent. It's a fun brand of football to watch, man.

It's fun.

It is fun.
