The Stretch

Sad news to start the show as Eddie moves to the 6-8 week disabled list in a walking boot. There's not prospects of a hard cast but we do get into some Chicago snow etiquette that will have you fondly remembering our days on Sirius XM. After that we start cranking the sports content hard with a Bulls round table that should have you double checking which podcast you're listening too. Chief then th...

Rico Bosco joins the show to talk about winning the grand prize against Eddie and WSD on the weekend's live stream. We then get real deep on college hoops including the Loyola Drake matchup, Illini futures, Big Ten in March, Northwestern future vs. Mizzou right now and a bunch of other shit about college basketball we normally don't do. After that we get into all the Bears trade rumors, if the Bul...

Cowboy Dave is back from NYC and he's probably got the most unbelievable story to start the podcast. Like he should legitimately be dead after his trip to New York. The boys get into Eddie and WSD's trip to Detroit for the Super Bowl Electric Chair Show of a lifetime. After that we're joined by Chicago Bears legend and Super Bowl XX Champion Kevin Butler to talk about Super Bowl week, life as a Be...

The boys are joined by White Sox standout starting pitcher Lance Lynn about his move to Chicago, relationship with TLR and expectations for 2021. After that we round table the misery of Chicago Cubs vs. the promise of the White Sox. There's major Bears speculation for quarterback but harsh realities with the salary cap. Elsewhere the Hawks may stink but Chief hasn't missed a second and loves some...

Kris Bryant joins the show for the 2nd time in as many seasons to talk about life as a Chicago Cub, whether he's still having fun and if he remembers his opening day stat line. For a guy who gets a lot of shit for being vanilla, he's been really anything but that with us. Before and after, we get into Deshaun Watson coming to the Bears, the Cubs pathetic offseason, whether WSD should be mad at Jer...

The Bears post season press conference might be a low point since the Trestman years and we're here to talk about it. Just absolutely embarrassing stuff out of Halas Hall. We pick ourselves up with a dynamite drop in from Ryan Arcidiacono to go behind the scenes of winning Jim Nantz's tie at the Final Four. Amazing story from the Bulls guard as we start buying more and more stock in the team. Afte...

2020 Bears seaSon comes to an end with a heartbreaking loss to the Saints. We're ready to close the book and move on, even if we don't even know what that means. We just know the next decade can't possibly be as cruel as the last. ALL GAS NO BRAKES. You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube. Prime Members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. For more, visit barst...

The Bears are in the playoffs for just the 6th time in the last 25 seasons which doesn't sound promising but we love the matchup. Barstool rookie and incredibly knowledgeable Saints fan Ben Mintz ("Mintzy") joins us to get an honest look at the matchup. It's not perfect on paper but it could be worse for the Bears save for it being Drew Brees's last postseason run. For what it's worth, everyone lo...

The Bears lose to the Packers, we are off to the playoffs at 8-8 nonetheless. Was it really a 19-point loss or are is there momentum to be had with the 2020 Bears? The Boys debate ferociously with the Saints looming. Is there any reason to care about the playoffs? Or is it just a complete waste of everyone's time? We'll find out next weekend ALL GAS NO BRAKES You can find every episode of this sho...

It's Packers Week with the playoffs on the line and it all comes down to this Sunday. Biggest game of the year and definitely Mitch's life. The boys are all sorts of fired up for this weekend. After, we get into the state of the Cubs rebuild, the White Sox offseason strategy, Notre Dame vs. Alabama and the Blackhawks awful failure to protect Kirby Dach. All the more reason we need the Bears this w...

Bears absolutely thrash the Jags in the biggest game of the year. Allen Robinson is a monster. David Montgomery is star in the making. Mitch made his throws and the Jaguars absolutely sucked throughout the afternoon. A perfect way to 8-7 and now Barstool Chicago can't figure out the playoff scenario or who wants to play Aaron Rodgers. It's predictably a complete mess and we wouldn't have it any ot...

Coach Duggs joins Barstool Chicago to preview the pivotal Jaguars matchup this Sunday. Before and after we break down the Bears playoff chances, Ryan Pace's best draft picks (rounds 2-5) and why the 2020 Bears are even more frustrating. Following Bears we close the books on Tony La Russa DUI criticism but not before getting mad at Jerry. Chief and Dave address their championship losses while Carl...

We're thinking about the playoffs with the Bears surging to 7-7 with serious momentum after beating the Vikings. Maybe we're suckers but it's a completely different team. David Montgomery was amazing behind a reshuffled offensive line and obviously Mitch looked pretty damn good. All around phenomenal game from the boys and now we're on to Jacksonville. You can find every episode of this show on Ap...

Big round table day with the full crew as we get into the Stan Bowman promotion. Chief's not happy about it for good reason. Bears are basically in the playoffs already before we get into some of the best college football talk this side of the Ohio River Valley. WSD and Carl follow with some old school RLR baseball talk about why the owners are blood sucking scoundrels. All Gas No Brakes!!! You ca...

Bears/Texans postgame show where the boys talk through what they want to happen the rest of the season, Mitch's great performance, the big game next week, and more. You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube. Prime Members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. For more, visit barstool.link/redlineradio

The Illini basketball team have saved Carl from a depressing winter with a statement game over Coach K. Later in the show we get real deep into Coach K's roots as a Chicago guy, but not before we put a ribbon on how much the Bears suck. WSD also has some strong words for Adam Eaton now that he has a chance to complain about his team being good. PS Notre Dame is still undefeated ALL GAS NO BRAKES!!...

Thanks to Miller Lite for being there in a time of need, like when the Bears blow a late 10-point 4th quarter lead. Arguably one of the worst losses in the last 30 years. Matt Nagy obviously needs to get fired but otherwise the boys didn't look to shitty. A perfect game for the perfectly infuriating season. 2020 needs to end pronto. In the mean time we'll be throwing back the lites to get through...

Friend of the program and Illini basketball coach Brad Underwood joins the show to talk 2020 college hoops for his 3rd appearance in RLR history. We also spend some time on the Bears, Cubs and White Sox futures before settling into college football. From there, Chief & WSD have an extremely passionate argument that may or may not get a little personal. Spoiler Alert: Northwestern lost last weekend...

Really no other way to put it. The Bears suck but at least we have great tasting less filling Miller Lite to fall back on. That's our silver lining as the Bears' defense gets absolutely gashed for 41 points. No one would be mad if the McCaskey family sold the team tomorrow, that's a fact. And while the season's not mathematically over, the Bears should probably just fire everyone and move on alrea...

Happy Thanksgiving from Barstool Chicago with a classic 4-man show that starts with Carl & Dave at each other's throats about the Cubs impending rebuild. The Bears play Sunday with a chance to win back Ed's prediction that the season is over. Chief thinks Notre Dame can win the national championship. WSD feels the same about Northwestern. Gravy is a side All Gas No Brakes Happy Thanksgiving!!! You...

Big Cat joins the crew to get over the devastating Theo Epstein news and it totally sucks that we're moving on from our leader. Making matters worse, the Bears have lost 4 straight and we don't know who to blame. We're just a broken and confused group of guys that want to watch our teams do better. We follow our pity party with some heavy college football and a good look at the NBA draft with the...

Another week in the books for the 2020 Bears and another embarrassing loss at the hands of the offense. This time it's probably the worst offensive game since Craig Krenzel took the snap. We're devastated after a 5-1 start to find ourselves in this position. The offensive line is atrocious. Quarterback play is atrocious. Nothing seems to work as the Bears move into the Bye Week on a 4-game skid. I...

It's pretty much win or go home for the Chicago Bears and honestly nobody's talking about it because Tony La Russa got another DUI. This week we break down both with Criminal Defense attorney and Arizona DUI expert, Jeff Mehrens and Bears' legend Olin Kreutz. Mr. Mehrens takes us inside the legal road and challenges ahead of TLR that should help everyone get a better grip of what's going on. After...

Not much to say you don't already know. The Chicago Bears got destroyed by the Tennessee Titans and it wasn't even close. Matt Nagy might be at his rock bottom with the Bears but it actually feels worse. O-Line is embarrassing. Quarterback play is arguably worse. Somehow this team is 5-4 and still marching towards the playoffs but it actually feels impossible. God Bless all the believers out there...

Taylor Lewan and Will Compton from Bussin With The Boys join the show this week to preview Bears vs. Titans from the comfort of a Tennessee Titan off day. We go behind the scenes of what it's like to prepare for the Chicago Bears including some shit on Akiem Hicks you literally won't believe. Good luck to Taylor in his recovery and thank you for the amazing Khalil Mack reference. After that we're...
