I just love the energy already. I'm just not glad to be a bear and, you know, glad to be a part of this great city and great organization.

From NBC Sports Chicago, it's Adam Hogue, a taller Russell Wilson or a more polished Cam Newton. Where do I sign up for that?

And from the F-letting, it's Kevin Fishman. Look at me being the one I'm giving the bears too much credit.

Let's begin now.

What's up? Welcome in Hogue in Johns with you. Well, at least Hogue with you. Kevin Fishman filling in today.

Say the Fishman for Adam Johns. How are you doing, buddy?

It's really unfortunate that I don't have a Johns impression yet because his voice is distinct. He's got that John Z accent.

And I just don't have it down yet. You think after being in the car for like a combined nine hours together Thanksgiving. I don't have it.

I have to say though, you did a pretty good Johnson pressure by showing up 15 late 50 minutes. Listen, it's got to, you know, I have to, I have to do my best.

So here's the other question though. If let's say I'm the Josh McCown of this podcast, right? Like the backup who when I come in there, I've got this.

Would that make Johns Jay Cutler? What does that make you?

Are you saying that while like right now, no one is going to claim that you should start over Johns like five years down the road.

There might be very well informed people in the league. You find out we're really saying the whole time that the Fishman should be starting.

I mean, just like you shouldn't be getting the lucrative long-term extension.

Just like he was doing in 2014 on the game, you know, Mark Carmen is screaming into the ether that I should be starting here.

All right, here, let's, let's plan this out. He's never going to let that go against me, by the way.

No, of course not. So Johns is Jay. How about your brand and Marshall in this specific scenario? So I'm stepping in today.

How nice of you to say I'm still I'm still get well, although Josh didn't really throw the ball of the brand and he threw it to Ellsson Jeffery.

So this whole thing is really any better. We need better analogies. I'm happy. No matter what I'm happy to be Josh McCown more than happy.

I'll be Jimmy Clawson.

There you go. Welcome in. Johnson's feeling under the weather today. So Kevin is filling in.

And we send our best at John Z obviously and hope he's feeling all right. Of course, we have to deliver a few shots when he's not here is I would expect the same missing an episode or two.
