Speaker 2 (00:08):
I'm here. Hey, everybody, welcome into another episode of The Tailgate.
I'm your host Cy Aminson, joined by my co host,
the Great Chad Daniels, and it is Bear's week. Chatty. Hello,
we once again find ourselves in need of a rebound,
(00:33):
you know, tough one. We're like we always say we're
a forward looking podcast. But my question for you, you've
known me to be a sports psychopath. I don't handle
the emotions, the ups and downs.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Well, I don't even think we need to add an
end to no. I think we can go. It's it's
I know you to be a psychopath. Currently, we don't
have to go past tense here.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I'm not somebody who sports effects every aspect of my life, right,
but I do take joy in it, and so I
get way too emotionally tied to those ups and downs.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Yeah, what are you.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Doing in this moment where we were we were way
down after the Chargers, we were way up after the
Lions suck at Zach Martine, and now I just feel
I feel so down again. How are you riding the
roller coaster?
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Well, listen, it might seem to fans that we've got
Sybil under center. But I'm going to tell you something.
It's easy young quarterback, and that has to come with grace. Right,
You get a lot of young quarterbacks. They get a
full season, in a full season of starting to make
(01:48):
these mistakes and get the hang of the game. And
that's okay. I mean he's this guy has shown signs
of brilliance and then other times you're sitting there going
like how about seven yards lower on that one? But
but there has to be grace involved, and there has
to you have to remember like this kid has the talent.
It's just it is gonna there's growing pains with that stuff.
(02:10):
And we're also it's like, hey, we're healthy, just kidding,
we're not healthy. I will say this, maybe we just
go on one eight fall starts bro Hot hot Weight
for Hot. It was so wild. I am gonna put
visio you check the stock if this game doesn't go
(02:34):
how I wanted to go, because I'm breaking every TV
in my house. It's getting crazy over here. I think
I'm gonna have to go to the game live and watch.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Well, you will be at the game, and so here's
my here's my thing. I think I'd be doing a
lot better with it. Were it not. Everybody dislikes the
Green Bay Packers, of course, right, that's everybody. That's the
whole Minnesota thing for me, even though there hasn't been
as competitive of a rivalry. I love the city of Chicago.
(03:03):
I like performing in Chicago. I don't love the people
of Chicago, and I gotta be honest, I don't think
they love me. And I'm happy to describe them as
a bunch of men with mustaches and or beards that
look like they may be played minor league baseball. You
know what I'm saying, still jacked upper arms, but the
(03:24):
rest of it hasn't kept going. It looks like there's
a bunch of semi pro softball players who There is
no city. And I'm not talking about on a comedy
club stage. I'm talking walk in the street. There is
no city that I've been heckled in my life like
I am heckled in Chicago, and I so desperately want
to watch them lose. Sure, that's what I need. I
(03:48):
don't love the mind frame I am in going into
this game.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
They're a little bit shy of Philly when it comes
just a smidge just when it comes to the sports,
right I mean, you can go to a Cubs game
and you can be fine. It is in Wrigleyville. I mean,
there's nobody's throwing beers at you. But I went to
a Bears game once and full beers were coming at us.
(04:16):
And then the Bears destroyed us, and so then I'm
walking through the same parking lot and now they're handing
me beers as if to say, hey, looks like you
need this. We murdered you today. And so it is
a little different because Philly, even if they beat you,
they'll throw beer cans at you after the game, So
it's a little different. I love it's interesting because they
(04:40):
can turn sports in Chicago's they're so huge that you
could have a great show on Sunday or excuse me,
on Saturday, two shows sold out. Everybody's there for you.
Come through the merch line, give you a hug, Hey man,
love you, dude, and then they could see you and
recognize you at the game and want to fistfight you.
(05:01):
It is. It is wild there.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
When I first started working for the Vikings, I did
this thing. I can't even remember what it was called,
but it was like the Keys to the Game, right,
and it was the really fast paced it was meant
for like Instagram and TikTok and stuff. Sure it was
a rapid key, but it was a lot of humor
in it. So it's basically, here's what we should do,
(05:24):
here's what we should do in the game. And I
only came up with those so I could make these
jokes and without fail, every week those they would be
flooded with fans from the other fan base just upset.
So given the way social media works, now you know
that would have been a real successful venture. But I
(05:47):
was at two times ago when I met Zanies. By
the way, it's the summer, it's the beginning of June.
There's no football going on, and I get up on
stage and I'm a few minutes in and this guy
just goes the Viking suck, and I was like, and
I was like, I was like, oh my god, did
I wear Viking stuff on stage? And then I kind
(06:08):
of I was like, I didn't I go thank you.
I'm thinking they must have said that I'm from Minnesota
when they introduced me. And then I did another joke,
the Minnesota Vikings suck. And now I'm as mad at
the lack of originality in the second attempt, as I
(06:28):
am at being heckled.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Yeah, but just in case you thought it maybe was
a high school team he was referencing called the Vikings.
He did want to make sure you knew he was
speaking of the Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Yea, the next one is the Minnesota Vikings, who play
in US Bank Stadium. Suck. So this guy, in an
hour sat probably layers eight to ten. Your team sucks
in some variation in and nobody likes it. And I'm
(06:59):
not acknowledged it because I think if I engage in it,
it's gonna become a really unenjoyable experience for everyone. And
so I finish the show. And when you meet the
fans in the crowd after the show, you're like standing
by a doorway as the whole crowd. It's very tight,
and everybody's filing out. And then I see about twelve
(07:21):
people back. I see this short, musty mustache. I go, well,
that's the Viking suck guy, guarantee it. Why is he
in line? He comes down the line and he tells me.
He goes, I'm the guy who was saying the Viking suck.
And I go, I know, did you need to tell it?
(07:41):
To me again, what's up man? So he starts telling
me about a joke I made in the three Keys
segment years ago. Wow followed me on social media, sat
in waiting until years I did that segment, I think
in two thousand, nineteen or twenty. Oh.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
And let's not forget with his accent. He must have
taken a flight from New York to Chicago.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
I'm doing the best I can. Okay, okay, he waited
like half a decade.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
That's pretty good to come.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
He paid for the ticket and he wasn't even mean
about it. He like and on the way out after
we talked about he just goes your team sucks, and
he just kept going. It was one of the weirdest.
He wasn't there with a partner or a friend. It
was bonkers.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Yeah, that is wild to go. That's when I remind
people I go, you know what, I got eighty percent
of your ticket. Oh never mind it was sold out.
I got eighty five percent of your ticket cost. Thank
you for coming.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
It's a It is a weirdly Heckley city. I've been.
Last time I was there, I tried to have dinner
at Michael Jordan's Steakhouse and the waiter was doing the
hey where are you guys from? And I said Minnesota
and then it was like every course, it was like
to him telling me why my team song. Hey, a
lot of your teams suck. They have sucked, Yeah for
a significant amount of time.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Teams your city is zero to one against a cow
and a lantern. Shut up.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
It just it just put me in this place, like
as I've been reflecting on where we are so far
this year and where we're going and the fact that
we have to I told you in the opening week
Bears on the road week one, you know that's a
tough start, and I mentioned it's tough for my dad,
who just doesn't watch that game. This one, with the
(09:32):
way everything is gone, it's just drummed up all my
Chicago feelings and even though I like the city, just
the amount of disdain for all things Chicago or Bear
related right now it's not healthy. I don't I don't
think I'm doing a good job. I don't think I'm
gonna be awesome this weekend. I just I think I'm
(09:52):
in lunatic mode. I think I'm in full blown lunatic mode.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Yeah, I mean, there's no question that has nothing to
do with this game. That's where you live.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
It's amped up.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
It's where you live.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Amped up because of the game.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
I'm excited because I have watched the Bears win their
last two games in dramatic fashion. And that throw to
win the Cincinnati game wasn't good. I'm saying he threw
it behind the receiver. It was an amazing catch. Then
it was the Keystone Cops the Bengals all hit each
other and fell backwards like bowling pins. It was crazy.
(10:27):
And then this last one. So so here's what's going
to happen.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Are you pitching their riding high and we're going to
come in underneath it and flip the table.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
I'm pitching they're riding high on fake, fake stuff because
they think like, oh man, we did this. They weren't
good plays.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
I can get all on board with a We're going
to come underneath their false confidence and really take this
game from them. And I think if you get if
you get the game tilted that direction early at home,
that's a good thing.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
And I think we can. I mean, he is, he
is gettable. And so we get back there and four
starts like throwing stunts, and we get healthy people that
are hitting the holes and confusing him. I'm telling you, man,
it's gonna it's gonna be fun to watch. It's gonna
here's here's I'm doing my prediction early. You're doing a
(11:16):
prediction in the first This is just one of them.
This is just one of them.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Early segment prediction.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Okay, it is going to be the fourth quarter of
the first game for all four quarters.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
I love that we're gonna come back. We're gonna talk
a little bit more about I need to talk about
some how I processed going into this week. Knowing that
I'm in lunatic mode, I think we can go to
break on that prediction of yours and we will be

Hey everybody, welcome back to the tailgate brought to you
by Ticketmaster. PSI Onminson, Chad Daniels. How I've been processing, Chad,
the stress, the football stress. And because I do think
(12:34):
you're four and five, it's a big moment, right, You
get to four and six, that's tough, five and five,
you climb above at six and five, seven and five.
Now we're talking again. The later you get in the season,
hanging around five hundred, the more vulnerable you are to
things going obviously, right, I mean, that's just math, baby.
But what I did is I went and I was
(12:56):
just doing what I always do when I don't know
how to handle my for one of these preview shows
and I get mad about a statistic or I worry
about a matchup, I just go learn about the city
a little bit. And I was reading this list of
like the craziest things to ever happen in the city
of Chicago, and for a second I thought I was
(13:19):
reading something about you.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Oh no, it must have been amazing.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
The title was just the man who died from eating
too much ice cream?
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
In eighteen ninety two, a twenty one year old Frenchman
named Gone Beyond Jean. He emigrated to Chicago and took
a job at the Leland Hotel. While working in the
hotel's pantry, on his very first day, Jean got his
very first taste of ice cream, and I quote quickly
fell into a downward spiral of ice cream addiction that
(13:54):
led to his untimely death five days later.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
When questioned by the police, his coworkers, who seem only
slightly suspicious, right, they claimed that Jean did nothing but
eat ice cream morning, noon, and night for five days
until his stomach literally froze, causing him to die. Yeah,
I imagine that's the way you will go out.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Well, I'm gonna tell you something. So Daniels is a
stage name. Gone Biyond is my is my real name.
But I didn't want to have MC's and hosts trying
to figure that. Hey guys, it's Chad go and Bean.
You know I didn't need that, So I just changed
it to Daniels where everyone could read it. But this
is my great great this is my great grandpa.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Nothing has ever made more sense.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Yeah, So, right before he had that first bite of
ice cream. He laid with a lady.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Yeah, yeah, he had a He had a He made
sure he got someone, he got someone with child, right,
and then he found the ice cream and spiraled out
of control. Are you do you do? So you've been
You're doing a lot of games in person these days?
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Do you behave differently from a snack standpoint in the
stadium at home? Because you're more of like a shame
snacker sometimes where if no one's around, you might go deep.
Do you Is there a preferred snack at the bank?
How does Chatty handle himself with access to everything?
Speaker 1 (15:21):
So if we look at the little pavilion where you're
walking around, right, you're walking around and you are seeing
all the food there are technically it's an oval, so
there are technically four straightaways and four curves. Now in
those four curves, I like a rice truck exactly. And
I have found weird corners and under staircases and whatnot
(15:46):
in every single curve. I know where those are, and
that's where I eat my food. I go out and
I go, hey, guys, I'm gonna go I'm gonna go
get a water. And then I go out and I
house a parlor, Burger, or I house a hockey Mom
Brownie Sunday under the stairs, and then I come back
with my bottle of water. I go a long line,
(16:07):
Am I right? And so nobody is the wiser that
I've eaten all those things until I belch and people go, well,
that's not water, and I go, hey, mind your business.
I got you these tickets I have.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
I had a sneaking suspicion that the Brownie Sunday was
your go to at the stadium.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Bro the hockey Mom Brownie Sunday. Let me tell you something.
If you're going to the game, get out of the line,
or let me get to the front of the line.
But you have to be in the line. It's so good.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
That's an interesting thing to eat. I just imagine a
kid walking by you, huddled by a staircase eating a
Brownie Sunday. That is the most I'm gonna say on
brand thing I've heard.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Have you ever seen a rescued dog eat its food
from a bowl?
Speaker 2 (16:55):
And they eat a Brownie Sunday and then you.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Can't can't have chocolate? What are you doing to rescue dogs?
So they're in there eating their food out of a bowl,
then you go over to pet them and they just
turn their head and they go, ah, that's what I
look like under those staircases.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
I know a couple of times you've been fortunate enough
to be in the Influencer Suite, which is the thing
they have at the stadium. That is a place when
I heard about what goes on and there, that is
a place that I assumed they would have to roll
you out of.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
I didn't have one thing when I was in there,
had a bottle of water, that was it.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Did you have to make that choice because you didn't
want to get Blueberry girl? Willy Wonka moved out, like, no,
you think.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
I'm gonna go up to Vanilla Ice when I have
chicken wing sauce on my beard. Get out of here.
I gotta look respectable when I'm meeting my heroes.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Huh, I forgot that you were in the Influencer Suite
for Vanilla Ice night.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Yes, Ice Ice Baby.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Let's get let's get out of snacks, Let's get into
the game. Okay, let's put all my emotions aside. Now
here's the good news. Here's let me give you some
good news. Bears might be six and three against two,
but the record of the teams they have one against
those six wins fifteen forty one and one. Now the
(18:12):
Vikings also have an eight and one record against the
Bears in the last nine And yeah, am I trying
to tell you stuff that maybe doesn't matter to get
you ahead in the right direction. Sure, but it's a
big game, folks.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
It is a big game. And let me just say something.
If you tie in professional football, you should be kicked
out of a league for the rest of the year.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I think, I mean, I don't know that they're gonna
put that into action. They're not.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
I have so many good ideas no one ever listens.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
There's gonna be a point, even with a rookie quarterback,
where it's just gonna click. You know when you watch
like a Treasure Hunt movie or something, and all of
a sudden, like a vault door click like and then
everything opens. I think that's gonna happen. I don't know when, where,
(18:57):
or how, but I think we're gonna have a game
where all of a sudden are going to go, oh man,
the running game is working, the o linemen are moving downhill,
and the flow is going to be right, and this
team is going to put a thirty something on the
board without even needing turnovers. Right, I truly believe there's
a chance that it's this week. Right, I don't know.
(19:17):
I think this might be the game where you look
around and go, damn, did they just run for one
hundred and ninety yards and also JJ threw for two
or three touchdout like, I think it could be the
one where the lock clicks and the vault open. Yeah,
must do predictions. Yeah, give me the score player and
(19:38):
Chad okay score.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
As we know, we've kind of upped. We've kind of
pumped it up, and.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
We pumped it up, and we looked dumb for pumping
it up.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
We did look stupid. So I think that the Bears
are going to come out swinging because they need it,
because they're riding this pretend high off their last two
you know, fancyctories, and the Vikings are hurting, they're licking
their wounds from a lot of silly playing. I'm going
to say, and so I'm going to go Bears three
(20:09):
Vikings to forty two.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
I also a little embarrassed that we've pumped it up
too much, We've been overly cocky. Then we go lose
against the Ravens, so I wanted to dial it down
a lot. I think this is going to be a
lot lower scoring of a game. I have the Bears
at fourteen and the Vikings at two hundred and ninety six.
Player performance Harrison Smith, of course you got him taking one.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
I got him for a sack and a pick.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Listen to me. I think my last week prediction predict
predict prediction was JJ. I think, and then I think
he had a very frustrating game. And I don't say
that from a fan standpoint. I think he was frustrated.
I think he has very high standards for himself. So
I'm dublin down big big JJ.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
You're talking about Jets, You're talking about talking about Jets,
talking about Jets.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
I'm talking about Justin Jefferson. And then my prediction is
that I'm going to do it for both of us.
I don't think we're going to talk a lot on Sunday.
You're going to be at the game. I'm going to
be pacing around my house. I think we will talk
starting at halftime, based upon how the game's going. Given
what you're willing to listen from too from me. In
(21:19):
a normal game, situation.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Okay, and my personal prediction is, and I hate to
say this about the game, but I think there are
going to be two and again, as fans, please understand
what I'm saying. I think there are going to be
two hockey mom Brownie Sundays eating under the stairs.
Speaker 2 (21:37):

Speaker 2 (00:08):
I'm here. Hey, everybody, welcome into another episode of The Tailgate.
I'm your host Cy Aminson, joined by my co host,
the Great Chad Daniels, and it is Bear's week. Chatty. Hello,
we once again find ourselves in need of a rebound,
(00:33):
you know, tough one. We're like we always say we're
a forward looking podcast. But my question for you, you've
known me to be a sports psychopath. I don't handle
the emotions, the ups and downs.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Well, I don't even think we need to add an
end to no. I think we can go. It's it's
I know you to be a psychopath. Currently, we don't
have to go past tense here.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I'm not somebody who sports effects every aspect of my life, right,
but I do take joy in it, and so I
get way too emotionally tied to those ups and downs.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Yeah, what are you.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Doing in this moment where we were we were way
down after the Chargers, we were way up after the
Lions suck at Zach Martine, and now I just feel
I feel so down again. How are you riding the
roller coaster?
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Well, listen, it might seem to fans that we've got
Sybil under center. But I'm going to tell you something.
It's easy young quarterback, and that has to come with grace. Right,
You get a lot of young quarterbacks. They get a
full season, in a full season of starting to make
(01:48):
these mistakes and get the hang of the game. And
that's okay. I mean he's this guy has shown signs
of brilliance and then other times you're sitting there going
like how about seven yards lower on that one? But
but there has to be grace involved, and there has
to you have to remember like this kid has the talent.
It's just it is gonna there's growing pains with that stuff.
(02:10):
And we're also it's like, hey, we're healthy, just kidding,
we're not healthy. I will say this, maybe we just
go on one eight fall starts bro Hot hot Weight
for Hot. It was so wild. I am gonna put
visio you check the stock if this game doesn't go
(02:34):
how I wanted to go, because I'm breaking every TV
in my house. It's getting crazy over here. I think
I'm gonna have to go to the game live and watch.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Well, you will be at the game, and so here's
my here's my thing. I think I'd be doing a
lot better with it. Were it not. Everybody dislikes the
Green Bay Packers, of course, right, that's everybody. That's the
whole Minnesota thing for me, even though there hasn't been
as competitive of a rivalry. I love the city of Chicago.
(03:03):
I like performing in Chicago. I don't love the people
of Chicago, and I gotta be honest, I don't think
they love me. And I'm happy to describe them as
a bunch of men with mustaches and or beards that
look like they may be played minor league baseball. You
know what I'm saying, still jacked upper arms, but the
(03:24):
rest of it hasn't kept going. It looks like there's
a bunch of semi pro softball players who There is
no city. And I'm not talking about on a comedy
club stage. I'm talking walk in the street. There is
no city that I've been heckled in my life like
I am heckled in Chicago, and I so desperately want
to watch them lose. Sure, that's what I need. I
(03:48):
don't love the mind frame I am in going into
this game.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
They're a little bit shy of Philly when it comes
just a smidge just when it comes to the sports,
right I mean, you can go to a Cubs game
and you can be fine. It is in Wrigleyville. I mean,
there's nobody's throwing beers at you. But I went to
a Bears game once and full beers were coming at us.
(04:16):
And then the Bears destroyed us, and so then I'm
walking through the same parking lot and now they're handing
me beers as if to say, hey, looks like you
need this. We murdered you today. And so it is
a little different because Philly, even if they beat you,
they'll throw beer cans at you after the game, So
it's a little different. I love it's interesting because they
(04:40):
can turn sports in Chicago's they're so huge that you
could have a great show on Sunday or excuse me,
on Saturday, two shows sold out. Everybody's there for you.
Come through the merch line, give you a hug, Hey man,
love you, dude, and then they could see you and
recognize you at the game and want to fistfight you.
(05:01):
It is. It is wild there.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
When I first started working for the Vikings, I did
this thing. I can't even remember what it was called,
but it was like the Keys to the Game, right,
and it was the really fast paced it was meant
for like Instagram and TikTok and stuff. Sure it was
a rapid key, but it was a lot of humor
in it. So it's basically, here's what we should do,
(05:24):
here's what we should do in the game. And I
only came up with those so I could make these
jokes and without fail, every week those they would be
flooded with fans from the other fan base just upset.
So given the way social media works, now you know
that would have been a real successful venture. But I
(05:47):
was at two times ago when I met Zanies. By
the way, it's the summer, it's the beginning of June.
There's no football going on, and I get up on
stage and I'm a few minutes in and this guy
just goes the Viking suck, and I was like, and
I was like, I was like, oh my god, did
I wear Viking stuff on stage? And then I kind
(06:08):
of I was like, I didn't I go thank you.
I'm thinking they must have said that I'm from Minnesota
when they introduced me. And then I did another joke,
the Minnesota Vikings suck. And now I'm as mad at
the lack of originality in the second attempt, as I
(06:28):
am at being heckled.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Yeah, but just in case you thought it maybe was
a high school team he was referencing called the Vikings.
He did want to make sure you knew he was
speaking of the Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Yea, the next one is the Minnesota Vikings, who play
in US Bank Stadium. Suck. So this guy, in an
hour sat probably layers eight to ten. Your team sucks
in some variation in and nobody likes it. And I'm
(06:59):
not acknowledged it because I think if I engage in it,
it's gonna become a really unenjoyable experience for everyone. And
so I finish the show. And when you meet the
fans in the crowd after the show, you're like standing
by a doorway as the whole crowd. It's very tight,
and everybody's filing out. And then I see about twelve
(07:21):
people back. I see this short, musty mustache. I go, well,
that's the Viking suck guy, guarantee it. Why is he
in line? He comes down the line and he tells me.
He goes, I'm the guy who was saying the Viking suck.
And I go, I know, did you need to tell it?
(07:41):
To me again, what's up man? So he starts telling
me about a joke I made in the three Keys
segment years ago. Wow followed me on social media, sat
in waiting until years I did that segment, I think
in two thousand, nineteen or twenty. Oh.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
And let's not forget with his accent. He must have
taken a flight from New York to Chicago.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
I'm doing the best I can. Okay, okay, he waited
like half a decade.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
That's pretty good to come.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
He paid for the ticket and he wasn't even mean
about it. He like and on the way out after
we talked about he just goes your team sucks, and
he just kept going. It was one of the weirdest.
He wasn't there with a partner or a friend. It
was bonkers.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Yeah, that is wild to go. That's when I remind
people I go, you know what, I got eighty percent
of your ticket. Oh never mind it was sold out.
I got eighty five percent of your ticket cost. Thank
you for coming.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
It's a It is a weirdly Heckley city. I've been.
Last time I was there, I tried to have dinner
at Michael Jordan's Steakhouse and the waiter was doing the
hey where are you guys from? And I said Minnesota
and then it was like every course, it was like
to him telling me why my team song. Hey, a
lot of your teams suck. They have sucked, Yeah for
a significant amount of time.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Teams your city is zero to one against a cow
and a lantern. Shut up.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
It just it just put me in this place, like
as I've been reflecting on where we are so far
this year and where we're going and the fact that
we have to I told you in the opening week
Bears on the road week one, you know that's a
tough start, and I mentioned it's tough for my dad,
who just doesn't watch that game. This one, with the
(09:32):
way everything is gone, it's just drummed up all my
Chicago feelings and even though I like the city, just
the amount of disdain for all things Chicago or Bear
related right now it's not healthy. I don't I don't
think I'm doing a good job. I don't think I'm
gonna be awesome this weekend. I just I think I'm
(09:52):
in lunatic mode. I think I'm in full blown lunatic mode.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Yeah, I mean, there's no question that has nothing to
do with this game. That's where you live.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
It's amped up.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
It's where you live.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Amped up because of the game.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
I'm excited because I have watched the Bears win their
last two games in dramatic fashion. And that throw to
win the Cincinnati game wasn't good. I'm saying he threw
it behind the receiver. It was an amazing catch. Then
it was the Keystone Cops the Bengals all hit each
other and fell backwards like bowling pins. It was crazy.
(10:27):
And then this last one. So so here's what's going
to happen.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Are you pitching their riding high and we're going to
come in underneath it and flip the table.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
I'm pitching they're riding high on fake, fake stuff because
they think like, oh man, we did this. They weren't
good plays.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
I can get all on board with a We're going
to come underneath their false confidence and really take this
game from them. And I think if you get if
you get the game tilted that direction early at home,
that's a good thing.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
And I think we can. I mean, he is, he
is gettable. And so we get back there and four
starts like throwing stunts, and we get healthy people that
are hitting the holes and confusing him. I'm telling you, man,
it's gonna it's gonna be fun to watch. It's gonna
here's here's I'm doing my prediction early. You're doing a
(11:16):
prediction in the first This is just one of them.
This is just one of them.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Early segment prediction.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Okay, it is going to be the fourth quarter of
the first game for all four quarters.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
I love that we're gonna come back. We're gonna talk
a little bit more about I need to talk about
some how I processed going into this week. Knowing that
I'm in lunatic mode, I think we can go to
break on that prediction of yours and we will be
right back. As the official ticket marketplace of the Minnesota

Hey everybody, welcome back to the tailgate brought to you
by Ticketmaster. PSI Onminson, Chad Daniels. How I've been processing, Chad,
the stress, the football stress. And because I do think
(12:34):
you're four and five, it's a big moment, right, You
get to four and six, that's tough, five and five,
you climb above at six and five, seven and five.
Now we're talking again. The later you get in the season,
hanging around five hundred, the more vulnerable you are to
things going obviously, right, I mean, that's just math, baby.
But what I did is I went and I was
(12:56):
just doing what I always do when I don't know
how to handle my for one of these preview shows
and I get mad about a statistic or I worry
about a matchup, I just go learn about the city
a little bit. And I was reading this list of
like the craziest things to ever happen in the city
of Chicago, and for a second I thought I was
(13:19):
reading something about you.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Oh no, it must have been amazing.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
The title was just the man who died from eating
too much ice cream?
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
In eighteen ninety two, a twenty one year old Frenchman
named Gone Beyond Jean. He emigrated to Chicago and took
a job at the Leland Hotel. While working in the
hotel's pantry, on his very first day, Jean got his
very first taste of ice cream, and I quote quickly
fell into a downward spiral of ice cream addiction that
(13:54):
led to his untimely death five days later.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
When questioned by the police, his coworkers, who seem only
slightly suspicious, right, they claimed that Jean did nothing but
eat ice cream morning, noon, and night for five days
until his stomach literally froze, causing him to die. Yeah,
I imagine that's the way you will go out.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Well, I'm gonna tell you something. So Daniels is a
stage name. Gone Biyond is my is my real name.
But I didn't want to have MC's and hosts trying
to figure that. Hey guys, it's Chad go and Bean.
You know I didn't need that, So I just changed
it to Daniels where everyone could read it. But this
is my great great this is my great grandpa.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Nothing has ever made more sense.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Yeah, So, right before he had that first bite of
ice cream. He laid with a lady.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Yeah, yeah, he had a He had a He made
sure he got someone, he got someone with child, right,
and then he found the ice cream and spiraled out
of control. Are you do you do? So you've been
You're doing a lot of games in person these days?
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Do you behave differently from a snack standpoint in the
stadium at home? Because you're more of like a shame
snacker sometimes where if no one's around, you might go deep.
Do you Is there a preferred snack at the bank?
How does Chatty handle himself with access to everything?
Speaker 1 (15:21):
So if we look at the little pavilion where you're
walking around, right, you're walking around and you are seeing
all the food there are technically it's an oval, so
there are technically four straightaways and four curves. Now in
those four curves, I like a rice truck exactly. And
I have found weird corners and under staircases and whatnot
(15:46):
in every single curve. I know where those are, and
that's where I eat my food. I go out and
I go, hey, guys, I'm gonna go I'm gonna go
get a water. And then I go out and I
house a parlor, Burger, or I house a hockey Mom
Brownie Sunday under the stairs, and then I come back
with my bottle of water. I go a long line,
(16:07):
Am I right? And so nobody is the wiser that
I've eaten all those things until I belch and people go, well,
that's not water, and I go, hey, mind your business.
I got you these tickets I have.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
I had a sneaking suspicion that the Brownie Sunday was
your go to at the stadium.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Bro the hockey Mom Brownie Sunday. Let me tell you something.
If you're going to the game, get out of the line,
or let me get to the front of the line.
But you have to be in the line. It's so good.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
That's an interesting thing to eat. I just imagine a
kid walking by you, huddled by a staircase eating a
Brownie Sunday. That is the most I'm gonna say on
brand thing I've heard.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Have you ever seen a rescued dog eat its food
from a bowl?
Speaker 2 (16:55):
And they eat a Brownie Sunday and then you.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Can't can't have chocolate? What are you doing to rescue dogs?
So they're in there eating their food out of a bowl,
then you go over to pet them and they just
turn their head and they go, ah, that's what I
look like under those staircases.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
I know a couple of times you've been fortunate enough
to be in the Influencer Suite, which is the thing
they have at the stadium. That is a place when
I heard about what goes on and there, that is
a place that I assumed they would have to roll
you out of.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
I didn't have one thing when I was in there,
had a bottle of water, that was it.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Did you have to make that choice because you didn't
want to get Blueberry girl? Willy Wonka moved out, like, no,
you think.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
I'm gonna go up to Vanilla Ice when I have
chicken wing sauce on my beard. Get out of here.
I gotta look respectable when I'm meeting my heroes.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Huh, I forgot that you were in the Influencer Suite
for Vanilla Ice night.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Yes, Ice Ice Baby.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Let's get let's get out of snacks, Let's get into
the game. Okay, let's put all my emotions aside. Now
here's the good news. Here's let me give you some
good news. Bears might be six and three against two,
but the record of the teams they have one against
those six wins fifteen forty one and one. Now the
(18:12):
Vikings also have an eight and one record against the
Bears in the last nine And yeah, am I trying
to tell you stuff that maybe doesn't matter to get
you ahead in the right direction. Sure, but it's a
big game, folks.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
It is a big game. And let me just say something.
If you tie in professional football, you should be kicked
out of a league for the rest of the year.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I think, I mean, I don't know that they're gonna
put that into action. They're not.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
I have so many good ideas no one ever listens.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
There's gonna be a point, even with a rookie quarterback,
where it's just gonna click. You know when you watch
like a Treasure Hunt movie or something, and all of
a sudden, like a vault door click like and then
everything opens. I think that's gonna happen. I don't know when, where,
(18:57):
or how, but I think we're gonna have a game
where all of a sudden are going to go, oh man,
the running game is working, the o linemen are moving downhill,
and the flow is going to be right, and this
team is going to put a thirty something on the
board without even needing turnovers. Right, I truly believe there's
a chance that it's this week. Right, I don't know.
(19:17):
I think this might be the game where you look
around and go, damn, did they just run for one
hundred and ninety yards and also JJ threw for two
or three touchdout like, I think it could be the
one where the lock clicks and the vault open. Yeah,
must do predictions. Yeah, give me the score player and
(19:38):
Chad okay score.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
As we know, we've kind of upped. We've kind of
pumped it up, and.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
We pumped it up, and we looked dumb for pumping
it up.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
We did look stupid. So I think that the Bears
are going to come out swinging because they need it,
because they're riding this pretend high off their last two
you know, fancyctories, and the Vikings are hurting, they're licking
their wounds from a lot of silly playing. I'm going
to say, and so I'm going to go Bears three
(20:09):
Vikings to forty two.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
I also a little embarrassed that we've pumped it up
too much, We've been overly cocky. Then we go lose
against the Ravens, so I wanted to dial it down
a lot. I think this is going to be a
lot lower scoring of a game. I have the Bears
at fourteen and the Vikings at two hundred and ninety six.
Player performance Harrison Smith, of course you got him taking one.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
I got him for a sack and a pick.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Listen to me. I think my last week prediction predict
predict prediction was JJ. I think, and then I think
he had a very frustrating game. And I don't say
that from a fan standpoint. I think he was frustrated.
I think he has very high standards for himself. So
I'm dublin down big big JJ.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
You're talking about Jets, You're talking about talking about Jets,
talking about Jets.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
I'm talking about Justin Jefferson. And then my prediction is
that I'm going to do it for both of us.
I don't think we're going to talk a lot on Sunday.
You're going to be at the game. I'm going to
be pacing around my house. I think we will talk
starting at halftime, based upon how the game's going. Given
what you're willing to listen from too from me. In
(21:19):
a normal game, situation.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Okay, and my personal prediction is, and I hate to
say this about the game, but I think there are
going to be two and again, as fans, please understand
what I'm saying. I think there are going to be
two hockey mom Brownie Sundays eating under the stairs.
Speaker 2 (21:37):

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
