Brennen Roberts pulls up a stool for another round at Bub’s Pub—starting with shout-outs (including a loving tribute to sticky-bar floors). The guys break down the Bears’ draft with equal parts optimism and exasperation, detour into the strange gray area of prediction markets (investing… or just gambling with a spreadsheet?), and then crank the dial up with some politics chatter designed to get the group chat humming. From there it’s a fast, fun zig-zag through baseball vibes—especially a Cubs run that feels borderline magical despite the injury list—plus a Route 66 centennial road-trip daydream, and a couple “you can’t make this up” headlines to close out the tab.

• Bears Draft Therapy Session: who they picked, what they didn’t, and why “the board made me do it” is not a valid excuse.
• Prediction markets, explained: when “I’m investing” starts sounding a lot like “I’m sweating.”
• Sorsby saga update: the college-football story that keeps getting wilder.
• Cubs corner: hot bats, elite defense, and the bullpen juggling act—plus a nod to the legendary Lee Elia rant.
• Route 66 turns 100: Chicago-to–Santa Monica nostalgia with some fun trivia sprinkled in.
• Draft segment: classic cars you’d actually bid on (and ones you’d only admire from a safe distance).
• Crazy Politics Talk: Chicago mayoral race, bad policies in New York and Seattle, and California craziness
• Odd news to-go: Delta drama and a “WKRP is real?” moment to send you out smiling.
