The duo covers a loaded sports weekend for Chicago with both Bears and Bulls in action, previews Game 6 of the World Series, and delivers their weekly segments: Feedback Friday and the (hilariously digressive) Top 10 list—this week focused on "Bengals."

  The Bulls are highlighted for their new, exciting playstyle, emphasizing ball movement and a telegenic brand of basketball.
  • “Everybody’s scoring, everybody’s dangerous. They are moving the ball, they are finding the open guy with the best shot.” (Co-host, 05:22)
• Bears vs. Bengals:
  Excitement for the matchup. Injury reports and X’s and O’s discussion promised for the “Forward Progress” postgame show.
• World Series Game 6:
  The conversation centers on simply enjoying an entertaining series, rebuffing hot takes about the future of baseball or team “windows.”

  • “It's a me problem. I know I made it a you problem.” (Co-host, 08:39)
  • Later, listener feedback notes Smoltz’s inane “ironic” comments and “uninsightful” analysis (see Memorable Quotes section).

4. Listener Feedback / Community Engagement

• Friday Feedback covers everything from emailers with eccentric habits to passionate Bulls takes, Chicago hat-trick traditions, and even doughnut reviews.
• The co-hosts muse on the explosion of their YouTube comment section with running in-jokes and “subtext.”
  • “I think there’s people commenting just for the comment section, not even for what we’re saying.” (Dan, 12:07)

5. Chicago Bears Stadium Updates & Kevin Warren Scrutiny

• A sophisticated listener, “Canuckboy,” catalogs all of Bears President/CEO Kevin Warren’s shifting statements on stadium plans: “A charlatan’s pattern. Definitive promises first, caveats later.” (Co-host quoting listener, 23:16)
• Dan reflects on Warren’s “front man” status in previous Vikings project and wonders if the McCaskeys made a bad hire.
  • “He was brought in to get it done. Yet… his hands were never near any of that.” (Dan, 23:50)

6. College Football Coaching & Drama

• Listener stories: Chicago Blackhawks hat tricks and “hat reclamation.”
• Clarification on Bulls nostalgia: “How dare they rest? How dare they take time off!” (Co-host, 28:16)
• Commentary on Joe Davis and John Smoltz: pedantic, sometimes inappropriate, and sometimes-called-out by their own partners.

9. Top 10 Bengals (with Honorable Mentions)

A tradition for the current Bears opponent—this week, a delightfully absurd countdown of “top Bengals”—ranging from actual Cincinnati Bengals to pop culture, geography, and animal facts. List is built with input from a mysterious “committee” and rivaling Dan’s own.

• Examples:
  • Sheer Khan from Jungle Book (8th on Dan’s, Honorable Mention on committee’s)
  • Anthony Muñoz (first human player on the list)
  • The Bengals (the band), Tiger Woods, Tigger, Ravi Shankar, Tiger King, and Mother Teresa (“Bengali Teresa”)
• The list gives ample space for riffing, obscure trivia, and comic tangents about cereal, Donuts, and Paul Winchell’s artificial heart.

[Co-host]

Spooky Edition. Spooky. Scary. Well, I don't know. It might be scary, it might not, but. But it's Dan Bernstein, Unfiltered. Guys, how we doing? Standing far away. Did he fall down? What happened?

[Dan Bernstein]

Listen, it's Dennis Allen.

[Co-host]

How we doing? Good.

[Dan Bernstein]

How are you?

[Co-host]

Standing far away. Did he shoot somebody? He might have. Okay, guys, how we doing? Good.

[Dan Bernstein]

How are you?

[Co-host]

Standing far away. Come in with a big stick and just start smacking people for bad questions. Okay?

[Dan Bernstein]

I don't know. Hey, how we doing? Booze?

[Co-host]

I hope everybody's fire away. Hope everybody's all right there. The old Bears press conference with Dennis Allen. Today's show is brought to you in partnership with my bookie and because it's Friday. What's our Halloween on a Friday? Well, it's going to be fun tonight in the old hood. Fun stuff.

[Dan Bernstein]

Yeah.

[Co-host]

And high school kids.

[Dan Bernstein]

I only saw one person on the train this morning dressed up.

[Co-host]

Did you see our sales manager?

[Dan Bernstein]

I have not.

[Co-host]

Director.

[Dan Bernstein]

I have not. I didn't.

[Co-host]

It's pretty awesome. You didn't see Drew Medland.

[Dan Bernstein]

Did not. I come right here into the studio and start doing work.

[Co-host]

Full Cobra Kai.

[Dan Bernstein]

Oh, seriously?

[Co-host]

Yeah. And I thought, well, he's not Johnny. He's too old to be Johnny Lawrence. He is John Kreese.

[Dan Bernstein]

Oh, nice.

[Co-host]

Martin Cove as John Kreese.

[Dan Bernstein]

And he.

[Co-host]

But he's got the whole.

[Dan Bernstein]

The uni. It's great. I'll go take a look.

[Co-host]

It looks pretty cool. I just. I Needed him to stand there with his arms folded across his chest, nodding, telling people to sweep the leg. It's good stuff. I didn't know we were supposed to dress up. I didn't. I just dressed as an aging podcaster.

[Dan Bernstein]

You nailed it.

[Co-host]

Yeah. Didn't I?

[Dan Bernstein]

Yeah. Oh, is that your. That's your $20 thrift item, isn't it?

[Co-host]

20?

[Dan Bernstein]

How much was it?

[Co-host]

9.99.

[Dan Bernstein]

Okay. 10 bucks.

[Co-host]

Yeah.

[Dan Bernstein]

Yeah. That's the ultimate. Always was. Dan Bernstein. Look.

[Co-host]

Yes, I bought something at a thrift store that apparently I didn't know that I had previously owned. Yes.

[Dan Bernstein]

In a different life. So multiple times over.

[Co-host]

This was meant to be mine. So I bought it and I'm happy. Here's what we're doing today. I'm going to preview this awesome weekend in sports. If you're a Chicago sports fan or just a sports fan in general, you've got everything you need this weekend. It looks like the weather's going to mostly cooperate, too, with all sorts of plans and stuff. And then we've got our Friday things for you. It is Feedback Friday, so I have curated and cataloged much of your feedback via email and comments, et cetera, and thank you for it. I really do. And anecdotal feedback, too. Just running into people. There's going to be some stuff there as well. And then it is going to be time for our weekly top 10. The Bears opponent this week, the Bengals. And I have my top 10 Bengals with some honorable mentions. And the committee has been hard at work. I know. And I don't like to ask too much. I don't like to know too much about how the committee decisions get made, but I know they've been busy.

[Dan Bernstein]

Yeah, there was a big table full of Thai food last night. They were going around their. Their final. The final 10. There was some arguing, some disagreeing on, and some honorable mentions as well as the placement of the top 10 items.

[Co-host]

So do you let the committee members trick or treat? Are they also based at your house tonight?

[Dan Bernstein]

Oh, yeah, no, they stay the whole season.

[Co-host]

Okay.

[Dan Bernstein]

Yeah, they don't. It's not like they come in and out. They're. They know they're here from otas all the way through the Super Bowl.

[Co-host]

So here's what we have going on in our world right now. Tonight is World Series game 6. It is also Bulls and Knicks, a big test. It's a home and home for the Bulls at United center tonight. It's an NBA cup game. And then the Bulls and Knicks will play again with a six o' clock tip on Sunday. So there's that. If you are interested and excited about what's going on with the Bulls, as I am, they're playing a very telegenic brand of basketball that rewards your attention. They have been fun to watch.

[Dan Bernstein]

Yeah, I saw that they are second in the league right now early on, obviously, at 30.5 assists per game, number two in the league.

[Co-host]

Everybody's scoring, everybody's dangerous out there. They are moving the ball, they are finding the best, the open guy with the best shot. And I love how the ball's not sticking, especially watching it juxtaposed with DeMar DeRozan the other night and knowing the way things used to be. So it's fun. So we got two Bulls games. We obviously have Bears and Bengals, and once the injury report comes out a little bit later, we'll be handling that. On Forward Progress, we're going to get into some of the X's nos and some of the details of everything that's going to be happening on Forward Progress later on. All the assistant coaches talked yesterday and it's good. I look forward to Thursdays because some of these guys tell you some stuff and they aren't just out there hemming and hawing and yammering. There's information and it's cool. I know Ben Johnson's okay with that. There's a lot more transparency, I think, with this coaching staff than we've had in the past.

[Dan Bernstein]

In full complete sentences. That Declan Doyle something, man.

[Co-host]

I like listening to him.

[Dan Bernstein]

I do, too.

[Co-host]

I really do. I learned from him.

[Dan Bernstein]

He says a lot and he shares a lot and he gets inside behind the. Pulls back the curtain a bit for you. It's good stuff.

[Co-host]

Yeah. He's not afraid to answer a good question with a good answer.

[Dan Bernstein]

Sounds like a good head coach right there maybe.

[Co-host]

Yeah, maybe he there maybe in a couple seasons. Yeah. He's only. He's in his 20s, isn't he?

[Dan Bernstein]

Is he that young?

[Co-host]

I think, yeah, I think he's very young.

[Dan Bernstein]

Well, I don't think age prevents hiring the next. The next great guy.

[Co-host]

No, certainly not. But I. I'm really looking forward to this weekend. I. And everything that I'm reading about the World Series too, about what everything means. Please stop. These are games. These are individual games here. Two really, really good baseball teams is what they are. This isn't some grand statement about the state of baseball going into a lockout. This isn't about what you don't need a salary cap or you do need a salary cap. It's just baseball games and they're good baseball games and that's. That should be enough. It's also not the end of the Dodgers championship window. What went wrong? Nothing. Nothing's going wrong. They're just playing baseball.

[Dan Bernstein]

Yeah. They were favored to win this World Series. And the Blue Jays are a very good team. They won 94 games in the regular season. Like, let's stop making it what it's not.

[Co-host]

And then just watch the games and know that most of this is variance. Most of this is luck. There's luck in the games. That's a short series where anybody can win and good players can matter and good players cannot matter and bad, Bad players can be good and there's a.

[Dan Bernstein]

Guy that's a hero and. Yeah.

[Co-host]

And just enjoy the. Enjoy the things. Enjoy the baseball. Not everything needs to portend things.

[Dan Bernstein]

Yeah. While those things are true and accurate, it's not for now. Like, enjoy. Like, if you're a baseball person.

[Co-host]

I don't think they are all true and accurate.

[Dan Bernstein]

Enjoy this. Just enjoy the World Series.

[Co-host]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Dan Bernstein]

No, I mean, like the whole idea of should there be a salary cap? I mean, I think that's a valuable discussion to have. But it has nothing to do with.

[Co-host]

The outcomes of these games.

[Dan Bernstein]

Has nothing to do with these games, period.

[Co-host]

Right.

[Dan Bernstein]

Just. You like baseball. Enjoy these games.

[Co-host]

Yes.

[Dan Bernstein]

This has been a very entertaining. Not only World Series, but a playoffs.

[Co-host]

Yeah. Oh, it's a great postseason until John Smoltz got involved for me. But it's. I'm working on it. This is a me problem. I know it's a me problem. I've made it a you problem. A lot of our Friday feedback had to do with blaming me for attuning others antennae.

[Dan Bernstein]

Yeah. I don't know if you saw that. Our guy Leo from Uptown emailed back. As I said, you broke.

[Co-host]

I was very worried about him.

[Dan Bernstein]

Yes, he emailed back. He said he's fine. He was also a little bit concerned because I said that he had sent in multiple emails. It was two. Technically, is more than one, but so to make it fair, he's like. He made me sound like a lunatic. You are.

[Co-host]

Oh, we have multiple lunatics.

[Dan Bernstein]

But Leo, you're a lunatic.

[Co-host]

That's a big club for the fans of our 312 sports network.

[Dan Bernstein]

It is. It is. It was just two emails. So I wanted to clarify that, make you feel a little better. But your guy. You're one guy. With the constant emailing and the pictures and the.

[Co-host]

Oh, yeah, that's.

[Dan Bernstein]

I'm getting concerned.

[Co-host]

It Isn't just. It's. It's knowing too much.

[Dan Bernstein]

Yes. The comments in YouTube. It's always the first comment that come through.

[Co-host]

Oh, no, he's. He's a big fan.

[Dan Bernstein]

Yes. And has been.

[Co-host]

Yeah.

[Dan Bernstein]

For decades, apparently.

[Co-host]

Yeah. I'm telling you, the guy, he has to be like a youngish retired tech bro who is. He's a billionaire. He probably has multiple house. He doesn't have to work anymore.

[Dan Bernstein]

Yeah.

[Co-host]

And he just has all this time.

[Dan Bernstein]

All the old BNB references, though. I think it's either.

[Co-host]

Beth Terry know any of that crap. Oh, she never forgotten most of it.

[Dan Bernstein]

All right, so. Okay, fine. Wow, look at you.

[Co-host]

Yeah. No, that's. I don't.

[Dan Bernstein]

Colombo eliminating my suspects.

[Co-host]

One more.

[Dan Bernstein]

Sorry, it's not that one. Joe Paterno there, too. Oh, man, that would have been a great buddy. Like a buddy cop show. Joe Paterno and Colombo. Yeah, that would have been. Well, I'd watch that. I can't hear what you're saying.

[Co-host]

Wandering around the hospitals, asking questions of people, eating, you know, eating chili out of a Styrofoam.

[Dan Bernstein]

I can't hear a word you're saying.

[Co-host]

I just got one more thing for you. Just one more thing.

[Dan Bernstein]

That's pretty good. That's a good. That's a good voice. So. Yeah. So maybe it's not them. I don't know who it is. Then he eliminated my top two suspects.

[Co-host]

It's not Tanny.

[Dan Bernstein]

No, it wouldn't be Tanny. Oh, no. He's got better things to do.

[Co-host]

Yeah, he's busy.

[Dan Bernstein]

Yeah. Mitch. No, no.

[Co-host]

But you say it involves knowing stuff.

[Dan Bernstein]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Co-host]

There's.

[Dan Bernstein]

And the spelling's all. Yeah, it's all correct.

[Co-host]

Okay. The grammar. The spelling is too right.

[Dan Bernstein]

Punctuation.

[Co-host]

Not everything's in the subject line. Yeah.

[Dan Bernstein]

I don't know. I'm out. I'm out, then.

[Co-host]

Okay, well, we'll get to the bottom of it at some point, but thanks for all the feedback. And I will say the. Especially on Bears post game, which we're going to do. And don't forget about Bears post game because we really look forward to that. That the moment the Bears Bengals are over forward progress. You'll be a part of that. That was my first time this weekend because I was producing. It was my first time actually looking at the speed of the chat. I can't keep up.

[Dan Bernstein]

Yeah, it's hard to do. It's hard to.

[Co-host]

I can't. I'm trying to highlight certain comments to.

[Dan Bernstein]

Present in the conversation.

[Co-host]

Cannot keep up. And they've got their own subtext now. There's, there's like secret things that only they know about that I don't know about. I'm not even in other jokes about our own show.

[Dan Bernstein]

I think there's people commenting and I think they're there just for the comment section, not even for what we're saying.

[Co-host]

Hang out with each other.

[Dan Bernstein]

Yeah, they don't care.

[Co-host]

Right.

[Dan Bernstein]

What's being said. It's hard to keep up with, but it's, but it's great though. I love it. It's not a, it's not a, like a negative thing or something I'm complaining about. It's just there is a lot there and I, I love it.

[Co-host]

I appreciate it all. I would like to welcome a new sponsor to Dan Bernstein Unfiltered because every athlete knows the difference between good enough to sometimes win and game changing. Championship teams don't win by showing up unprepared. And the same applies to your game in the bedroom. Rougiette Ready is the three in one ED treatment that actually prepares you for the moment. Rougiette is designed to prime your brain, boost blood flow and start working in as few as 15 minutes. That's not just showing up, it's winning by a huge margin. It's an ED med that primes the brain because apomorphine boosts arousal at the source that's your brain and combines active ingredients sildenafil for fast action, Tadalafil for the long game. It's sublingual, which means it absorbs faster, works in as few as 15 minutes. It's way faster than most pills and there's up to a 36 hour active window. So it's ready when you are. And that doesn't just mean in the first quarter. So like an elite athlete, you gotta dial in that pregame routine. Nutrition, mental prep, physical readiness. So visit rougiette.com R-U G I-E-T.com and get your game plan from a licensed ED doctor. We have a promo code for you at checkout. Make sure you use the promo code DBU at checkout for a special offer treatment ships discreetly to your door. Time to get back in the game with Rougiette. That's rug yet.com and your code is DBU. Before we dive right in to Friday feedback, I want to remind you that if you are waiting for Sunday to start betting, you're missing half the fun and half the money. Because college football is what, wild this year. I don't have to tell you, the upsets, the blowouts, the crazy covers, and it. A lot of it. There's a lot of volatility, and that means a lot of opportunity for you. As a wager, my bookie lets you hit it all. Game lines, player props, and more. Everything you need before the pros even kick off. So when Sunday rolls around, you're already up. Boy, if you bet against Tulane last night. Good call on your part. I was just hazing the shit out of my kid.

[Dan Bernstein]

Last night.

[Co-host]

Hey, how's it going down there in the old bayou? How'd it look? Meanwhile, odd things are afoot in the bayou. Speaking of that, dude, I've got to get to that, too. I have. We have to say something because we covered it yesterday. What was going on with lsu. I called it. I told you that guy to step away. Game lines, player props. So make sure that you aren't missing out on all these opportunities on Saturday. With my bookie. It's all there. You can win big if you like NFL super contests, survivor pools, that's the there. This is what's important. If you are new to my bookie, use dbu, your promo code, and then any bet you choose up to $500 is fully covered. Make your play, and if it doesn't hit, you get it right back when you opt in using the bet back bonus token. My bookie is where betters win together. Because bragging is good, but cashing in is better. Dbu, the code, don't forget. So go in, set up your account, make the deposit, and get rolling. So Scott Woodward, the ad, lsu. I said yesterday when Jeff Landry, the governor came in, and what I don't get it. He's out. So the AD is out. They promoted a deputy ad. They've got an interim president, they have no coach. And look, if the governor wants to run the program, go ahead. If you want to walk the three miles from the state house down there to the football offices, go ahead. Because I don't know who takes that job. And he's worried about the contracts, are throwing around and say, bad contracts, bad contracts. And now you've got a. Whoever is coming in next, you want. You don't want to sign one of these giant contracts. This is. This is a bad way to start a coaching search.

[Dan Bernstein]

Yeah, I mean, you just eliminated guys that are going to expect something big, but. But again, it's college football. Someone's going to take the job and.

[Co-host]

They'Re gonna end up paying the Giant contract anyway.

[Dan Bernstein]

You have to. And you know, I Loved it. How he talked about he's tired of losing and yet, you know, his State is ranked 50th for the second consecutive year. A couple of things real quick and since we're on college football, I want to mention in line with what's happening this weekend, college football it kicks off. There's more tonight, obviously. Number 25, Memphis plays at Rice. North Carolina's at Syracuse at 6:30 tonight. Want to see how North Carolina can lose this week? It was a fumble by the tight end going into the end zone, a failed two point conversion to take the lead, a one point lead and win the game. So we'll see how they lose this week. Sam Houston at Louisiana Tech, big games on Saturday and Ohio State is hosting Penn State. I'm going to talk about more about that later on when we get into our picks. A couple ranked teams, number nine, number nine Vanderbilt is at number 20, Texas. I cannot wait to watch that game. 11:00 clock on Saturday morning 22 Houston is hosting West Virginia. Virginia Tech is hosting number 16, Louisville. I bring them up because I don't know if you've seen what's been circling around Virginia Tech and the there it looks like they're honing in on James Franklin, Virginia Tech to be the next head coach. That's where, that's where it's, there's a lot of smoke there around that.

[Co-host]

Okay.

[Dan Bernstein]

Around that pairing of James Franklin and Virginia Tech. So we'll keep an eye on that and see if that is just, you know, talk to get noise around the program or if that is accurate and there could possibly be something happening between James Franklin and Virginia Tech. Other jobs that are open just as a reminder, Arkansas, Florida, lsu, Penn State, Oklahoma State, UCLA and Stanford, man, just a lot.

[Co-host]

I will also tell you if you are interested in all of the intrigue, the swampy stuff that is going on in Baton Rouge, the, the job that the athletic is doing, the job that Bruce Feldman is doing is he is lapping the field when it comes to the reporting on this for the athletic. He is better sourced than everybody. He is getting help from elsewhere on that staff but they've all been working on it. I think the latest story is simply credited to athletic college football staff Bruce Feldman, Ralph Russo and Christopher Kamrani. Amazing, the quotes that they're getting and I wish they weren't with anonymity here but some of the quotes that are coming out about the LSU stuff, it's not the old days like five years ago when you can load up on talent, you could win 70% of your games with your C Plus game. This is a former staffer recently let go. I guess it's the NFL now. You got to hit on your evaluations, especially your big money guys, your five stars. You got to hit their coaching matters. Scheme matters. Where we missed here is those guys that are really getting paid. They have to want to play for you or else it'll be transactional to them. It matters. And regarding Kelly, he lacks authenticity. I don't want to dance on his grave, but you could. But you could almost tell that he cashed out here.

[Dan Bernstein]

Well, I'm really shocked to hear that he lacks authenticity. A really striking human quality. Yeah.

[Co-host]

When he. When he does all the. When he did the fake accent upon arriving there. But there's really good reporting that on this situation that is only getting better. So if you want to keep a close eye on that, that's all being done at the Athletic. I just want to throw some bouquets their way. And now it is time for Friday feedback. We should get an open for that, don't you think? It sounded like. It sounded like it was time for an open.

[Dan Bernstein]

Yeah.

[Co-host]

Do we have a clip? Do we have a clip?

[Dan Bernstein]

Yeah. Oh, no. Here's a clip. Ready? I gotta go for you right here. Hang on a second. Where'd it go? Okay, here you go.

[Co-host]

Ready? Now it's time for Friday feedback. Perfect. Okay. Ideal noted. This was sent in and this is going to be a topic for next week. I think when we really get into what has happened and not happened in Springfield in the state legislature with the veto session and the Bears being so publicly and rebuffed with their stupid ass offer where the Bears came in like, oh, we'll. We'll pay a couple of dollars here to you. And here's 25 million to pay this off. Insulting. Insulting what the Bears are doing. But.

[Dan Bernstein]

But new guy, another guy you just added to.

[Co-host]

Who's that?

[Dan Bernstein]

Veto session.

[Co-host]

How you doing? Yeah, old friend, Canuck boy.

[Dan Bernstein]

Oh, wow.

[Co-host]

Has kept Kevin Warren quotes and this is gonna be a living document. I think from Canuckboy. He said this is the case for Kevin Warren in over his head and or being a complete charlatan. January 17, 2023. Trust me, I've done this before. He said you need a plan before you start digging. And he touts the US bank playbook. It's proof he knows what he's doing. Trust me, I've done this before. Then April 1st. October 9th of 2024. Chicago lakefront is the focus. January 8th shovels will be in the ground in 2025. I remain steadfast. The goal remains. We should have shovels in the ground. Variations of this line repeated across outlets Spring to summer of 2025 the cranes riff and the urgency sales job. Chicago has only 10 cranes in the sky. That's from the team letter. August of 2025 pivot to Arlington Heights as the plan. We're meeting weekly with village leaders. We could move dirt by the end of 2025. On ESPN reiterating 2025 shovels in the ground. September 8th open letter hammers the Arlington Heights case team says $10 billion impact Chicago only has 10 cranes in the sky. October 13th to 21st reality check in Springfield. So every time he has been presenting these the categorical language we will have shovels in the ground. Arlington Heights is the plan. This is the year to finalize when the prerequisites aren't in place. It's not mere optimism, it's selling certainties. He doesn't control the this is a charlatan's pattern. Definitive promises first, caveats later.

[Dan Bernstein]

You know, it's interesting to looking back at what happened to get the Vikings new stadium built, he was involved as a front man. Basically. He was. He was this out front for the cameras and the actual behind the scenes work that was done. His hands were never near the any of that. None of it. He was a good spokesperson, cheerleader, good front guy, good for the cameras and the media sessions.

[Co-host]

Now the problem with this has been the actual doing of things, right. He's hired a lot of vice presidents, a lot of executive vice presidents, but.

[Dan Bernstein]

He was brought in to get it done. Yet he didn't have the ability or the track record of getting it done. In the past. He wasn't involved in getting it done. He was just out in front of the cameras.

[Co-host]

We'll be keeping an eye, a close eye on that. So the McCaskeys made a bad hire so far? Not great. We'll see.

[Dan Bernstein]

Interesting.

[Co-host]

A lot of plans, a lot of smoke. A lot of stuff. Really weird. We got some feedback from 1948. So glad you guys liked the Stan's Donuts collab. You're so right about the heft. We actually posted a cool behind the scenes vid and how we make these mouth emergencies on a stick. Feel free to check it out. That's the official Twitter feed, I believe from AFI Tapple. Thank you. And that was on YouTube on the comments.

[Dan Bernstein]

Yeah, it was delicious.

[Co-host]

And they reached out. I bought another four pack.

[Dan Bernstein]

Oh you did?

[Co-host]

Why? They're six Bucks apiece if I can get them for dollar one piece.

[Dan Bernstein]

How many did you eat in one sitting?

[Co-host]

I ate last night. I ate one and a bite.

[Dan Bernstein]

Did you really?

[Co-host]

Yeah.

[Dan Bernstein]

You went in for a second bite?

[Co-host]

Yeah.

[Dan Bernstein]

That's great.

[Co-host]

Yeah, it's really good for you, man. And also that's impressive. I want to say shout out to Chris. Chris, who I met in the back of Mariano's while I was sorting through the boxes. He just came over to say he's loving the podcasts. And he's like, oh, you actually are here. And I. So I say, oh, have you tried these yet? And he's like, no, my wife would kill me if I brought those home. Like, here, take, take, take one, take them all. There's more.

[Dan Bernstein]

Yeah.

[Co-host]

And he kind of. Then he kind of thought I was a weirdo and Because I was actually trying to give him. Give him donuts. So. Yeah, but shout out to Chris.

[Dan Bernstein]

Well, Chris, if your wife didn't have to know, just leave those in your car, buddy.

[Co-host]

This is also was A comment from Phil, 2345, who says, Dan enjoys watching today's Bulls more than Michael Jordan's Bulls. That tells you all you need to know. I don't know what it means. I don't know what you think it tells you. And I did enjoy watching Michael Jordan's Bulls. You're missing the point of what we were saying. When I was saying that the. I believe that that was stemming from the fact that old busted Michael Jordan isn't interesting. Just to hear him paid a ton of money to sit in a chair and shit all over the NBA. We were making fun of that. And I enjoy watching the modern NBA more because it's better. All the players are better. There's a lot more movement, there's more scoring. It's a more aesthetic brand of basketball. The talent level has never been like, I know there's a lot of dead enders. I don't play any defense and I don't watch anymore. And it's all coded dog whistle stuff. It's not true. And if you actually go back, go back and watch some of those games, which I loved watching, I'll never replace those. It just. Different time, different place, different feelings and games evolve. That's all. Sports evolve. And it's okay. No one's taking anything away from you because this version of basketball, this wide open, crazy circus of basketball is fun.

[Dan Bernstein]

What is. I saw a video the other day, and it was kind of in line with what we were talking about with the Bulls teams. How they would have destroyed the 66 Lakers and the Thunder would have beaten the 96 Bulls.

[Co-host]

Clobbered them.

[Dan Bernstein]

What is. What's the event that Simone Biles does where she runs? And then there's the thing. Is that. Is that what it is? And then you just. You jump one time and there's. Is that what. Okay, so they showed like a 1950s gold medal winner running look at the high jump and did like, like, put her hand and did like one flip over it. And then they showed Simone biles, like, flipping 19 times in the air before she even lands.

[Co-host]

They would have thought she was an alien.

[Dan Bernstein]

Yes. That's just how sports progresses.

[Co-host]

Yes.

[Dan Bernstein]

And like, we. We look at that and it's like, it's amazing. And we celebrate what she can do. But we never look back 30 years and say, look how it's evolved. Look how it's changed and how the athletes are better. And no one has an issue with that. But you start talking about things you love, and this is where this guy comes in. You can't badmouth Michael Jordan. And I get it. Because the 90s run was so special for all of us in the city. And to compare it to today's athletes and to say, oh, they just don't have the heart or the defense. They don't play the same way. How can you think it's better? I get it. There's a personal attachment there for you.

[Co-host]

How dare they rest? How dare they take time off. Yeah.

[Dan Bernstein]

I mean, just let it. Let it go and have those memories and hang on to those memories and enjoy them because they were great. And you're never, ever gonna see that again.

[Co-host]

Evolve.

[Dan Bernstein]

But evolve with it.

[Co-host]

Evolve. It's a different sport. And appreciate what's going on now.

[Dan Bernstein]

And be able to say that a team today would kick the shit out of a team in 30 years ago. Because it's true.

[Co-host]

Of course they would.

[Dan Bernstein]

Easily.

[Co-host]

Of course they would. And listen, if you don't believe me on what's going on, listen to Steve Kerr, who was part of those teams. And Steve Kerr now, as the coach of Golden State, was saying, the reason that load management matters now is the game is harder than ever to play now. And what guys are asked to do on offense and defense, the space they have to cover, where everybody is expected to play above the rim.

[Dan Bernstein]

Yeah, it's a different game.

[Co-host]

Speed of the game compared to the plodding pace of isolation basketball with the grabbing and hooking and hold. You won't be able to watch, I tell you right now. And there's some whole games available on YouTube. If you watch an average regular season game or an average playoff game from 1996, you won't get through it. There's no possibility. You will not be able to watch it.

[Dan Bernstein]

It's just, it's a different game. The players are different. And here's the thing. If you don't like the NBA today, that's fine.

[Co-host]

Good school. Yeah. You don't have to.

[Dan Bernstein]

And if someone else enjoys it, this game, hold on to the past. That's fine.

[Co-host]

Here is a note from Kevin in economy walk who says, whoa, Economa walk.

[Dan Bernstein]

Isn't that where making a Murderer, that Netflix documentary?

[Co-host]

Maybe.

[Dan Bernstein]

Maybe. I'm.

[Co-host]

I know we used to ski there. There was a place, what was it called? The Olympia Olympian something. They had a nice little ski hill there. Regarding a hat trick. Great news, especially for you, cheap ass Bernstein. After a hat trick, when the Hawks have a lost and found, you can go collect your hat you tossed on the ice, even though it's due to grand tradition. Said I'm not dumb enough to toss my own hat on the ice, but I have two real nice hats from that stash. Highly recommend.

[Dan Bernstein]

Steals hats.

[Co-host]

Yeah, that's called. That's called stealing, Kevin. But apparently they do bring all the hats out and you can go reclaim your hat.

[Dan Bernstein]

It's Manitowoc County, Wisconsin, where they made making murderers manawak.

[Co-host]

They call it Manowalk.

[Dan Bernstein]

Really?

[Co-host]

Like, yeah, they say really fast. Manitowoc. That's where the ice machines come. Ice machine. That's where they come from. Okay.

[Dan Bernstein]

I would never throw this hat. I don't know if you noticed my hat.

[Co-host]

I did. When I walked in, I said, green jackets. I said, is it Augusta? Because that's a pimento cheese sandwich.

[Dan Bernstein]

Yeah. It was one of their specialty hats.

[Co-host]

I knew what it was. Yeah. This is from John. John says, love the pod. Happy to hear you guys broadcasting. Did you catch this? Actually, we're podcasting. The announcer Friday, Joe Davis, during the World Series game a week ago on Fox, said teams come back from blowouts in game one to win the series. He mentioned the Reds coming back and winning the 1919 World Series. Maybe I'm a little sensitive to that as a Sox fan, but if you remember, that was the year they threw the World Series. Mentioning that on the air means your statisticians and your broadcasters didn't realize that there should be red flags on any statistical claim around that year because it's impossible to determine what's a real outcome when it was fixed and thrown by White Sox players. That's a hell of a catch.

[Dan Bernstein]

That's really good.

[Co-host]

Thank you. Dave from Brookfield says, my hope is that CJ Gardner Johnson's reputation for speaking his mind will hold true at Alice Hall. If Ben Johnson's looking for team leaders to step up while this guy's new, he's not a leader. The veteran outsider openly asking, what's that smell? Or calling out a few dudes might reinforce coaches message for accountability.

[Dan Bernstein]

Yeah, no, I understand where he's coming from. I appreciate that. And we'll get more into the signing of CJ GJ on forward progress today. I want to dive into that a little bit.

[Co-host]

Yeah. I'm reminded of when Jimmy Rollins joined the White Sox and was asking, like, what is. What is Drake LaRoche doing in here in a uniform? And it's always the outsiders. Like, the hell is going on here?

[Dan Bernstein]

Yeah, that's not right.

[Co-host]

And no, it helped.

[Dan Bernstein]

No, no, but I mean, like, a guy walks in and sees things like, what. What's going on here? What are we doing?

[Co-host]

Your guy Strangles did say. Did you confirm with Terry? He's adding the escaped Tulane Reese's monkeys. I was reviewing some old Boars and Bernstein cassettes to put together the monkey roster. Here's what I have. Silly monkey, sick monkey, sink monkey, Iranian space monkey, seek monkey. The wet monkey that died and the eaten monkey that died. Last heard, the Indiana sex monkey did not make the cut. I will patiently await your response. I think we added the filthy minky.

[Dan Bernstein]

Yes, that is correct. Right.

[Co-host]

Inspector Clouseau and the filthy minky. Yeah.

[Dan Bernstein]

It's my favorite monkey though, of all time is the Iranian space monkey. Always will be number one in my heart.

[Co-host]

He was on assignment.

[Dan Bernstein]

I loved him.

[Co-host]

Wasn't he on special assignments? Yes. It was good. Your guy Leo.

[Dan Bernstein]

Yeah. Oh, did he send in several more emails? No.

[Co-host]

He said, you talk about Joe Davis never calling Smoltz out on his bullshit. He kind of finally did said after he said, vlad is not trying to hit home runs. Joe Davis said, well, home runs do come out of those swings. After that diatribe sports was on or something like that. Yeah, I guess he kind of did because he goes his with his swing. He is not trying to hit home runs. And Joe Davis said something like, well, it so happens that plenty of home runs.

[Dan Bernstein]

Yeah. Yeah. I think he's probably in a. In a tough spot or not.

[Co-host]

Or maybe that's why he's. He's paired with them. This is Laker Chris. He said, I don't Care for John Smoltz. He's a dull, uninspiring, uninformative announcer and a fascist human being. Last night was the first time he pushed me over the edge though. Davis, Schneider hits a home run and he said, ironically, that's the first solo home run for the Blue Jays this World Series. What is ironic about the leadoff batter of the fucking game hitting a home run? It can't be anything but a solo home run. Why is that ironic? Look to the other dugout. The leadoff hitter for the Dodgers is Shohei Ohtani. Thank you, Chris.

[Dan Bernstein]

Yeah, I didn't. I wasn't listening to Smoltz. When they hit the back to back home runs to start the game, what.

[Co-host]

He had said, there's gotta. Blake Snell's got to use his fastball.

[Dan Bernstein]

Oh, yeah.

[Co-host]

Important thing he can do.

[Dan Bernstein]

Establish the fastball.

[Co-host]

Yep. Fastball gone, Fastball gone, gone.

[Dan Bernstein]

So three pitches, two home runs established.

[Co-host]

The fastball, but it's. He established it way over there.

[Dan Bernstein]

Yeah, but the leadoff home run goes. And I text you immediately. I'm like, I'm like, Schneider really blew a chance there to set the tone. Missed opportunity for a leadoff walk.

[Co-host]

Could have really gotten the rally going with the old lead off walk.

[Dan Bernstein]

But I tell you what though, Bernstein, that second guy hit a home run, would have been a two run homer. If that guy would have walked. It could have been a two run homer.

[Co-host]

Two games, maybe one game left.

[Dan Bernstein]

Yeah.

[Co-host]

And I'm enjoying the baseball.

[Dan Bernstein]

I'm curious to see what Dave Roberts does tonight with Otani. I mean, because there's talk about maybe he's a starter, he's the opener. Then you got to put him out in the field because you can't have as a dh because then you lose him if you take him out. So we'll see. See what he's going to do. Whatever it is, you got to keep that dude in the game.

[Co-host]

So good call there, Skipper.

[Dan Bernstein]

Thanks.

[Co-host]

Yeah, there you go. Don't tell old crusty Skipper Maddie. The game has passed him by.

[Dan Bernstein]

You call me Coach.

[Co-host]

That's why I called you Skip.

[Dan Bernstein]

I want coach. Call me Coach from now on. Yeah, Skip and Chip and Harry, they're all dead, son. Is Chip buried with Johnny?

[Co-host]

Red died in someone else's sleep last night. Make that his son.

[Dan Bernstein]

Skip, have you watched the Expos Documentary yet?

[Co-host]

I got three documentaries I gotta watch.

[Dan Bernstein]

You watch the Will and Harper one yet?

[Co-host]

I guess I gotta watch that with Beth. And we gotta time all that up. And she's been.

[Dan Bernstein]

Well, I'M watching John Candy this weekend.

[Co-host]

So watch that, too. I want to. That's called I Like Me and it's supposed to be fantastic.

[Dan Bernstein]

Have you watched the monster series, the Ed Gein Story?

[Co-host]

No. I know. I read those books when I was a kid.

[Dan Bernstein]

Okay. It's good. Weird.

[Co-host]

Oh, it's weird. Ed Gein would kill people and hollow out their bodies and make things out of his skin.

[Dan Bernstein]

Yeah, like. Yeah, like chairs and stuff and lamps.

[Co-host]

Yep.

[Dan Bernstein]

Yeah, it's really interesting.

[Co-host]

Sounds it.

[Dan Bernstein]

Yeah, you should watch it.

[Co-host]

That's Friday Feedback. And thank you for it and thank you for all everything that goes on with the comments everywhere. And it's hard to keep up. I do my best. I try to have a representative sample of things. And thank you for it. Thanks for all the nice things that you continue to say about all the work we're putting in here. So it's much appreciated. And whatever, whatever we're doing there seems like a lot of people who like it.

[Dan Bernstein]

It does. And I do appreciate all the. All the feedback and all the comments and just keep it, keep it coming. And I do love all the work that people are putting in there.

[Co-host]

Seriously. No, there's like, graphics and like I said and like, what Canuck boy is doing. Going back with everything that Kevin Warren has said and keeping a list of all of. For us. So thank you.

[Dan Bernstein]

Do you have any, any, any work being put in at your house?

[Co-host]

Well, I do, actually, because the windows are soon to be ready. Okay. They don't see. Here's what I wish Russ would do at Chicago Window, Guys. You know when you order a Domino's pizza and it says, I know where.

[Dan Bernstein]

Right. Your pizza is being eaten by the driver. What? Come on. I think Russ needs a tracker for the windows so he can just say your windows are going into the window making machine or whatever it is.

[Dan Bernstein]

All right, Russ, get on it.

[Co-host]

Yeah. The glaziers are working on things. Your windows are ready. Your windows are enroute. Your windows are going into your house. I think that would be cool because I know they're coming and I can't wait. And actually, the weather's going to be kind of nice for the next week or so. What I'm talking about is Chicago Window, guys, and Russ Armstrong is the owner and he comes out, he gives you the estimate, and then he'll tell you, yeah, I'll match any price.

[Dan Bernstein]

I can't wait to get your new windows installed.

[Co-host]

So you ready? You ready for the top 10?

[Dan Bernstein]

I am ready for the top 10. Are you ready for the top 10?

[Co-host]

I am. What we do is with every Bears opponent, we do the top 10 of all time of that particular opponent. And we on DBU so far, the last two that we did the Saints, we did the Ravens, and now because the Bears are taking on the Cincinnati Bengals, in Cincinnati, we've got the top 10 Bengals. All right.

[Dan Bernstein]

I have the list in my hand from the committee. It has 12 items on the list. There's two honorable mentions before we get into the top 10 list for the top 10 Bengals, two honorable mentions. Number one, Sheer Khan, the Bengal Tiger featured in the Mowgli stories of Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book?

[Co-host]

Shere Khan is my number eight.

[Dan Bernstein]

Wow, look at that.

[Co-host]

And the reason why. And this, this is going to double down. Do you know who did the singing voice for Rudyard Kipling's Shere Khan in the Disney version of the Jungle Book.

[Dan Bernstein]

I don't. I don't know, but I'm gonna guess that is the dude who does the Tony the tiger voice. It is. There you go.

[Co-host]

It's thorough. Ravenscroft wow. Thorough Ravenscroft. The singing voice, really, of Shere Khan. It also sang. You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch.

[Dan Bernstein]

Yes. All right, a second honorable mention for the committee. Queen Stealth, a female Bengal tiger who lives in the rainforest of India in the children's television show Wild Kratz.

[Co-host]

Wild Crack.

[Dan Bernstein]

Wild Kratz.

[Co-host]

Kratz. Or cats like Eric Kratz, the old brewer's catcher.

[Dan Bernstein]

K R A T T s. Wild Kratts.

[Co-host]

Okay.

[Dan Bernstein]

Obviously, I think it was a show much years after your children would have been watching children's shows, but apparently a very, very famous Bengal tiger character in the show Wild Kratts. Not Wild Crack.

[Co-host]

Not wild rat.

[Dan Bernstein]

Not wild cats. Okay. But Wild Kratz.

[Co-host]

All right, got it.

[Dan Bernstein]

Although I would like to see this show, Wild Crack.

[Co-host]

No, you wouldn't.

[Dan Bernstein]

If it's about butts or if it's about drugs. Wild cracks.

[Co-host]

Maybe both.

[Dan Bernstein]

All right, number 10, the number 10 bangle of all time. Raja, the pet tiger of Princess jasmine from the 1992 Disney film Aladdin. Raja.

[Co-host]

Raja.

[Dan Bernstein]

Number nine, Tony the Tiger.

[Co-host]

Nine.

[Dan Bernstein]

Hang on. Was a Siberian Bengal hybrid that lived at a truck stop in Gross Tet, Louisiana.

[Co-host]

Oh, okay.

[Dan Bernstein]

He lived on a diet of roller dogs, Mountain Dew, and marble reds. Tony died at the age of 17 due to kidney failure and other health related issues. So this was an actual Siberian Bengal hybrid that lived at a truck stop in Louisiana. Of course, the animal people very upset about this. A lot of controversy, which then just drove more people to see the tiger at the truck stop. So number nine was Tony the Tiger. The real, actual tiger that lives at a truck stop in Louisiana.

[Co-host]

Okay.

[Dan Bernstein]

Number eight, Anthony Munoz. One of the greatest offensive linemen in NFL history. He was the first Bengals player to be enshrined in the Pro Football hall of Fame. Anthony Munoz makes the list at number eight. Okay. By the way, the. The first actual human football player to make the top 10 lists of any list so far by the committee.

[Co-host]

I don't think that's true.

[Dan Bernstein]

Others have been honorable mentions from the committee.

[Co-host]

Okay.

[Dan Bernstein]

None have made the list. Number seven, Darjeeling. A city in the northernmost region of the Indian state of West Bengal. It is most known for its world famous tea. So number seven is Darjeeling. Number six, the white Bengal tiger. A rare color variation of the Bengal tiger, not a separate subspecies, is often inbred due to captive breeding. They have a white coat due to a genetic mutation called leucism, which also results in problems like crossed eyes, deformities, and health issues. White tigers are At a significant disadvantage in the wild due to their lack of camouflage and that they're fucking inbred with crossed eyes and other deformities.

[Co-host]

Hold on a second. Is that why Martin Short's character, Jackie Rogers Jr. The albino son of Jackie Rogers, has crossed I's? If that is.

[Dan Bernstein]

I would say yes.

[Co-host]

If that is. And I miss that all these years. That's awesome.

[Dan Bernstein]

Yeah. So lots of issues like crossed eyes, deformities, health issues.

[Co-host]

Oh, no, now, my good man, now you be good, my captain.

[Dan Bernstein]

I just love that they're at a disadvantage in the wild due to their lack of camouflage.

[Co-host]

Crossed eyes.

[Dan Bernstein]

They have crossed eyes and low deformities because they're fucking inbred.

[Co-host]

They're running into trees.

[Dan Bernstein]

Right?

[Co-host]

Well, they're not inbred in the wild.

[Dan Bernstein]

Well, what if they get out?

[Co-host]

Well, then they're. Somebody's feeding it and then they go out and they eat Siegfried and Roy. Doesn't matter.

[Dan Bernstein]

I like that. Oh, speaking of Siegfried and Roy, number five on our list is Siegfried and Roy.

[Co-host]

But they're not Bengal, they're Germans.

[Dan Bernstein]

Doesn't matter. German American entertainers performed an animal based magic show together. Siegfried and Roy, the duo, the sons.

[Co-host]

Of Nazis, by the way. Both their fathers drank themselves to death out of. Of guilt.

[Dan Bernstein]

Oh, really?

[Co-host]

Yes.

[Dan Bernstein]

Good riddance. Yep. They were also romantically involved. Were best known for their flamboyant Liberace style costumes and use of white lions and white tigers. Some Bengals in their acts. Siegfried was the magician and Roy was the animal trainer and didn't do very good.

[Co-host]

Yeah, I gotta do a little. Go back to practice there.

[Dan Bernstein]

All right, so their work with white Bengal tigers gets them on the list at number five. Very well known. All right, number four, the Bengals. American all female pop rock band. Formed in LA in 81. They're known for hit singles during the 80s like Walk like an Egyptian and Eternal Flame.

[Co-host]

All right, I am. I have a more specific mention there than the band itself, so I'm not going to count that.

[Dan Bernstein]

All right, number three, Mike the Tiger. The living mascot of Louisiana State University. He was purchased in 1936, became the official symbol of the university. The current Tiger Dan is Mike the seventh. So there's the seventh Mike here in the list. He's also the leading candidate to become the next head coach of the football.

[Co-host]

Program because he'll accept the contract that Jeff Landry is willing to give him.

[Dan Bernstein]

Number two, the Champawat Tigris. The Tigers was originally driven out of Nepal after reportedly killing approximately 200 people before moving into the Champawat district of India. After moving to India, Dan, her kill count reached 436.

[Co-host]

Let's go.

[Dan Bernstein]

Before she was tracked and killed on May 12, 1907. Apparently her teeth were damaged and destroyed where it didn't allow her to hunt properly, which is why she turned to killing humans. Okay, so, yeah, killing 436 people to survive.

[Co-host]

Girls gotta eat.

[Dan Bernstein]

So the Champawat Tigress of the India district of Champawat. So she's number two and the number one bangle of all time. Mother Teresa. An Albanian Indian Catholic nun, founder of the Missionaries of Charity. As a Catholic saint, she was born in North Macedonia, but spent 17 years living and teaching in the Bengali region of India. She was also known as Bengali Teresa. She tops the list for the top ten bangles of all time from the committee. Number one, Mother Teresa.

[Co-host]

I think. Well, this. This has set a record that this list is going to be the greatest divergence the committee has had from my list. We've only had one.

[Dan Bernstein]

One crossover.

[Co-host]

Crossover.

[Dan Bernstein]

And it was an honorable mention. And your number eight, which was Shere Khan.

[Co-host]

Correct.

[Dan Bernstein]

Not Chaka Khan.

[Co-host]

I just want. No Shere Khan. I want to make sure that your Tony the Tiger was that separate. Tony the Tiger.

[Dan Bernstein]

Yes. It's not Tony the Tiger from Frosted Flakes.

[Co-host]

Okay.

[Dan Bernstein]

This is Tony the Tiger from I.

[Co-host]

Guess a Truck Stop. All right, here's my list. First honorable mention, and we have multiple. First honorable mention goes to Sushamita Sen. Sushamita Sen. From Bengal Miss Universe 1994 and deserved it.

[Dan Bernstein]

All right.

[Co-host]

Also, honorable mention goes to the song Eye of the Tiger.

[Dan Bernstein]

Oh.

[Co-host]

Which, believe it or not, I know people make fun of it now, but it was a really good song when it. When I. When it came out. And when I watched that, when I saw Rocky iii, that song was a jam.

[Dan Bernstein]

It's still a great song.

[Co-host]

It was a jam. And there's a local connection because, of course, Jim Peterick was. You remember the Ides of March, Was the writer, founder of Survivor, and the guy who wrote the song, also a survivor. He's been in the building before. If you ever see a guy with purple hair and little glasses wandering around the building, it's Jim Peterick because he's been here before. I also didn't know that the reason it was written was because Sylvester Stallone could not get permission to use another One Bites the Dust. And this.

[Dan Bernstein]

Well, that worked out better.

[Co-host]

This was commissioned for the movie and written. And they. The. The guitar chords, the strums are Supposed to time up with punches for that. For the opening.

[Dan Bernstein]

Yeah.

[Co-host]

For the montage. And this is a case of everything working just right. They won the Grammy and they won best rock performance by a duo or group with vocal. Nominated the song for song of the year, but lost to Willie Nelson's Always on My Mind. Nominated for an Oscar as well. So I have the tiger. Honorable mention.

[Dan Bernstein]

I. Of the Tiger. Lost it. Always on my mind.

[Co-host]

You were always.

[Dan Bernstein]

Yeah, no, I know it.

[Co-host]

That's.

[Dan Bernstein]

I mean, I like both, but that's.

[Co-host]

Yes, That's.

[Dan Bernstein]

That's not good. Yeah. The tiger should have won.

[Co-host]

Honorable mention. Tiger Williams. Oh.

[Dan Bernstein]

Former hockey player, Vancouver Canucks.

[Co-host]

Career penalty minutes lead douche. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

[Dan Bernstein]

He's a real penis.

[Co-host]

Career battle.

[Dan Bernstein]

He was the dude at that Hawks game. I was at that. What is it, the beach ball. Yep.

[Co-host]

Yes, he did. Also honorable mention for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and for the effects that were used for that sort of martial arts fantasy.

[Dan Bernstein]

I'm not sure I saw that.

[Co-host]

No. But you know.

[Dan Bernstein]

Yeah, I know. I know it. I'm very familiar with it. I never. Yeah. Never wanted to watch it.

[Co-host]

It's sort of where she arrived in the SC now. Last honorable mention. Because Bangles are not Bengals, but honorable mention. Not just. Not the Bengals as a group, but.

[Dan Bernstein]

It sounds like Bengals, though. We're doing.

[Co-host]

We're doing Susannah Hoffs.

[Dan Bernstein]

We're doing the.

[Co-host]

Sounds like Susanna Hoffs. The great Susanna Hoffs. I know we have some friends who have been smitten for many, many years. If you don't follow her on Instagram, I don't. You are missing out on a font of good vibes. She is pure good vibes. She is an ageless goddess, a wonder of the world. Susanna Hoffs of the Bangles is an honorable mention Bengal just because she is probably more awesome now than she's ever been. So if you just need good vibes in your life, follow her on Instagram. The number 10 Bengal is Amartya Sen. Amartya Sen, economist, philosopher, who won the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences for his contributions to welfare economics. He has made scholarly contributions to social choice theory, economic and social justice, economic theories of famine, decision theory, development economics, public health, and the measures of well being of countries. At age 91, this Bengali is the Thomas Lamont University professor and professor of economics and philosophy at Harvard. He is holding that job now at 91. At 91.

[Dan Bernstein]

Yep.

[Co-host]

That is number 10, Amartya Sen.

[Dan Bernstein]

I think Trump took his Nobel Prize away, though.

[Co-host]

So number nine. What's up, Tiger Lily? I don't know if you've ever heard of it.

[Dan Bernstein]

I have.

[Co-host]

It is a 1966 comedy. I would say it's a near miss. It's an ambitious choice. It is the very first feature length movie that was directed by Woody Allen. And what he did was he took a Japanese spy film called International Secret Police Key of Keys and redubbed it and re edited it completely changing the plot and took his own voice actors and made it a comedy where instead of it being a Japanese version of a James Bond movie, it ended up he turned it into a search for the world's best egg salad recipe. That was the MacGuffin. The lovin spoonful is in it. Louise Lasser is in it. His writing partner Mickey Rose is of it. It doesn't, it doesn't hold up. It's incredibly dated obviously, but just like the 1966 Lakers would be crushed by the 96 Bulls, this 1966 movie, if you appreciate it as an artifact and of representative of his time, that's number nine. What's up Tiger Lily? Where is it? Number eight was Shere Khan. Number seven is Satya G2 Sajit Ray. Satyajit Ray, an Indian film director, screenwriter, author, lyricist, magazine editor, illustrator, calligrapher and composer, widely considered to be one of the greatest and most influential film directors in the history of cinema. And he was born in the what was referred to in 1921 as the presidency of Bengal. And he is one of the most accomplished important Bengalis. So on my list he is number seven on the list of the greatest Bengals of all time. Number six. I have to be very careful with this Tigger, Tigger the tiger from A.A. milne and the Winnie the Pooh stories. And I bring Tigger up for a couple reasons. One is an old family story and that is that when we went to Disney World when my little sister was 2 years old and we had just seen a cartoon, a Winnie the Pooh cartoon in which Tigger got a case of the bouncies. And it was everyone else in, what is it, the 100 acre wood, their job to unbounce Tigger to make him stop bouncing. And as we were walking, arriving in Disney World, there we saw Tigger. And my mother said to my little sister, hey, maybe you can be the one who unbounces Tigger. And responding directly, she ran across the plaza and latched on to the leg of the mascot like full hot koala. Like sat on the foot, grabbed around the leg and wouldn't let go.

[Dan Bernstein]

What did the character do?

[Co-host]

The character literally took it in stride and realized there's a two year old clinging to their foot. And my mother just immediately snapped into action and started taking Instamatic flashbulb pictures. And somewhere we have the pictures. I remember she was wearing like a little yellow jacket.

[Dan Bernstein]

What's the age difference, you and your sister?

[Co-host]

She's three and a half younger. Three and a half years younger than I, so. Yes.

[Dan Bernstein]

You know, I've read and I've seen online multiple times that when a character at Disney is hugged by a child, they are not allowed to stop the hug until the child does.

[Co-host]

You know?

[Dan Bernstein]

You know, child hugs a princess, for example, and that child hang like, what about the dads? Well, the dads. Yeah, there's a 10 second rule on that.

[Co-host]

10 second rule. Yeah.

[Dan Bernstein]

If you're going up the Jasmine or Snow White, you're grabbing a hold of them.

[Co-host]

Yeah.

[Dan Bernstein]

You got 10 seconds. You got to let go, pal.

[Co-host]

Okay, that's enough. All right.

[Dan Bernstein]

But a child can hold. As long as the child keeps the hug intact. The character has to hold the hug out.

[Co-host]

What constitutes a child?

[Dan Bernstein]

We're talking like toddler age. We're not like a 13 year old boy running up to Cinderella.

[Co-host]

You're not allowed to let go, honey. Yeah.

[Dan Bernstein]

As a pack of reds fall out of his pocket. Don't worry.

[Co-host]

Those are just cigarettes on my phone.

[Dan Bernstein]

Yeah. No, a child. Okay. We're talking like a young child.

[Co-host]

Well, I saw that with Chewbacca at the Star wars one at Disneyland. Yeah, yeah, the little girl that wouldn't let go at Chewbacca.

[Dan Bernstein]

It's great.

[Co-host]

Oh, it's so sweet. It was adorable. I did not know that. But the other reason that I find Tigger interesting, read up on his cartoon voice. Paul Winchell.

[Dan Bernstein]

Okay.

[Co-host]

Read up on. Paul Winchell was an amazing, amazing story. And when you hear the voice, it is an unmistakable voice that you'll say, oh, that's. Who does that? Paul Winchell also invented and patented an artificial heart.

[Dan Bernstein]

Oh, wow. Interesting. Just on the side. Yep, yep.

[Co-host]

On the side.

[Dan Bernstein]

What do you do? I do a cartoon voiceover. What do you do for a hobby? I make hearts.

[Co-host]

I'm not kidding. You think I'm making this up?

[Dan Bernstein]

I am not.

[Co-host]

But go check out. He was an American ventriloquist, comedian, actor, humanitarian, heart maker and inventor.

[Dan Bernstein]

Okay.

[Co-host]

He was brilliant, and it's worth checking out.

[Dan Bernstein]

All right, well, no bulls game for me tonight. I'm gonna be reading up Paul Winchell.

[Co-host]

All right, so that was number six. Number five, Tiger Woods. Okay, I don't think I need to say much.

[Dan Bernstein]

Nope.

[Co-host]

Greatest golfer of all time, incredibly famous, has had all kinds of other issues. Greatest golfer of all time, one of the greatest individual sportsman athletes of all time. Tiger woods, the number five Bengal.

[Dan Bernstein]

How can you say that, though? Because, like, Jack has more majors. He was more runner. You know, he had more. He was, I think 19 times he was the runner up for a major. How can you say Tiger's the greatest?

[Co-host]

Because he is number four, Tony the Tiger. Okay, Enough said.

[Dan Bernstein]

Great cereal. Great milk, too.

[Co-host]

Yes. The only issue I have with Frosted Flakes is if you're carrying a bowl of Frosted Flakes, it has a very high slosh aspect to moves in the bowl a lot.

[Dan Bernstein]

All right. You, like on a treadmill or what are you doing?

[Co-host]

No, if you're walking it over somewhere, you have to account for the fact I can see that unlike, like, Captain Crunch, that kind of locks down.

[Dan Bernstein]

Yeah. Well, maybe your milk to cereal ratio is off.

[Co-host]

Right?

[Dan Bernstein]

Or the Frosted Flakes.

[Co-host]

It could be. Yeah, that definitely could be.

[Dan Bernstein]

But you need extra milk, though, in Frosted Flakes because it's so good at the end.

[Co-host]

I know. All right, I agree with that. All right, we've reached number three of the top ten bangles. And my number three is Hobbs.

[Dan Bernstein]

Okay.

[Co-host]

Of Calvin.

[Dan Bernstein]

Calvin and Hobbs.

[Co-host]

And Hobbs. That Hobbs, Calvin and Hobbs. I've read and every single one. I had all the books somewhere. I have all the books. And it's something I sort of regret never reading to my kids or getting them into, just because even in college, I would look forward to Sunday when the Sunday paper would come and there'd be a new Calvin and Hobbes.

[Dan Bernstein]

You remember those days of reading the newspaper? Well, not only the newspaper, but getting the comic section out of the Sunday paper from your parents. I loved that. That was great. Yeah. Well, my dad would pull it out and leave it for.

[Co-host]

I get it now because I always do the Tribune word game and I still do the Sunday jumble.

[Dan Bernstein]

Yeah. Because before he would go into the bathroom with the Sunday paper, he would leave the comics out. He'd go in there with a carton of smokes, a pot of coffee, and the Sunday paper.

[Co-host]

Amen.

[Dan Bernstein]

We'd see him three and a half hours later.

[Co-host]

Man, live your life. That's awesome. But the way Hobbs was invisible but visible to Calvin and sort of the voice of an adult, but who also went along with Calvin when he would go into his things and he gave you just enough responsibility while also enjoying the whimsy of wherever Calvin's imagination would take him. So Hobbs is my number three Bengal. Number two, Tiger King.

[Dan Bernstein]

Okay.

[Co-host]

And what that meant for those of us who were trying to generate content during COVID when sports died in March of 2020 and we were all stuck in our homes and it was the first show I ever binge watched. Oh, wow. And Tiger King came on stuff. And thanks. At the time we would have Patrick Manely on as a weekly guest because he was really into Tiger King. And what we learned about.

[Dan Bernstein]

Well, borderline mullet there.

[Co-host]

What we learned about between Carole Baskin, Carol Baskin and Joe Exotic and Doc Antle. And I learned that one of our co workers was very, very involved in what was going on with some of that.

[Dan Bernstein]

Really.

[Co-host]

And I recently learned that and got all kinds of inside stuff interesting about some of the people involved.

[Dan Bernstein]

I'm curious to talk more about that. What's going on off the.

[Co-host]

Yes. That knows some things about these people. But that really helped us. It really gave us something to do and something to talk about. And it ended up sort of devolving into a lot of ickiness. But Tiger King for being there for us when we needed. Between the Last Dance and Tiger King, it was great. So Tiger King is number two in my list of Bengals and number one. The number one Bengals of all time. Ravi Shankar.

[Dan Bernstein]

Okay.

[Co-host]

I didn't like your response there.

[Dan Bernstein]

Oh, no. I'm just. I'm curious to know who he is. I don't know, Robbie.

[Co-host]

Really, I don't.

[Dan Bernstein]

Maybe I do. Maybe just don't. You do recognizes you do.

[Co-host]

Ravi Shankar. You might know him as the father of Nora Jones. Nora Jones, whose birth name was Githali Shankar. Ravi Shankar is an India or was an Indian sitarist and composer who was born Rabindra Shankar Chowdhury. That's the Bengali. His Bengali name. He is the best known Indian classical music creator, composer of our century who was the one that influenced the Beatles and taught George Harrison. When you started to hear raga style music in American music, it is almost completely because of Shankar. He performed at Woodstock in 1969.

[Dan Bernstein]

Would that have been Sgt. Pepper's the album? Yes. Is that where all the influence was? Yep.

[Co-host]

And that's where he hit the world stage. He's won four Grammy Awards, won the Academy Award for scoring the movie Gandhi in 1982. But his entire influence and making Indian music popular, what he did. So he introduced the genre to George Harrison and the Birds. The Birds were recording at the studio where they were recording and heard Shankar's music. There was the set at Monterey Pop. And he was apparently horrified when Jimi Hendrix set his guitar on fire. And he believed that musical instruments are like a part of God. And there was a schism at that point. But he did perform at Woodstock and he toured with George Harrison. He has been at the White House and everywhere else internationally that you can imagine. So you may not even know what his effect has been. The Rolling Stones, the Animals, the Birds, even blues musicians who began to appreciate the sitar and the raga influences. Roger McGuinn and David Crosby, et cetera. With all of these contributions. Ravi Shankar, my number one Bengal.

[Dan Bernstein]

And that's Nora Jones's father.

[Co-host]

Correct. There we go. Correct. Because again, Nora Jones's name is Geetali Shankar.

[Dan Bernstein]

Oh, yeah. No, she's the good. Yep.

[Co-host]

And I. She could have also been on the list, but I think she's of Bengali extraction, but not. Not necessarily a Bengali in the way of. Of Shankar. So that's the list. That's my list.

[Dan Bernstein]

All right. Love it. Good stuff. Top 10 Bengals in the books. And then next week, a week from today on this show, we will be doing the top 10 giants of all time.

[Co-host]

I can't wait.

[Dan Bernstein]

It's gonna be a fun one.

[Co-host]

I cannot wait.

[Dan Bernstein]

Yeah, it's actually looking at the schedule here, how it lays out for us. We have the top 10 Giants up next. And then we'll revisit the top 10 Vikings, but get to do it differently. We have the top 10 Steelers, the top 10 Eagles, packers, the Browns, the packers, the 49ers and the Lions. But Giants is next week.

[Co-host]

Can't wait.

[Dan Bernstein]

Looking forward to that.

[Co-host]

Wait. All right.

[Dan Bernstein]

And now it's time for DBU picks.

[Co-host]

Go ahead.

[Dan Bernstein]

You want me to start?

[Co-host]

I want you to start.

[Dan Bernstein]

Okay. I got two for you. One's an individual game. We're looking at college football this weekend only for for tomorrow. The first one, betting with my heart is my. Vanderbilt Commodores are getting three points at Texas, so I'm taking the points at Texas. I'm going to watch my guy run all over the field, pass all over the field, and beat the shit out of the Longhorns.

[Co-host]

Is Arch Manning healthy? I don't care.

[Dan Bernstein]

I hate architects Manning.

[Co-host]

Meanwhile, we need to set aside some time next week, too, for figuring out what's going on in this Heisman race.

[Dan Bernstein]

Yeah, that's not true. I don't. I don't hate him. I just.

[Co-host]

I'm.

[Dan Bernstein]

I'm. I'm just really. I'm glad that the Texas is having the season. They're Having. So I'll just say it that way. So Vandy plus three is how we're starting then. I got a little. I got a parlay. I got a three team parlay that we're going with. We are number one starting with Ohio laying 19 and a half, hosting Penn State.

[Co-host]

Ohio State.

[Dan Bernstein]

Ohio State.

[Co-host]

Okay, you said Ohio. Okay.

[Dan Bernstein]

Ohio State laying 19 and a half against Penn State. Then we're going to go to Memphis at Rice and Memphis is laying 13 and a half. We're going to give those points too. And that's actually a game that you can see tonight. Virginia Tech is playing Louisville on Saturday, hosting the Cardinals and Virginia tech is getting 11. So we're going to say plus 11 for Virginia Tech, minus 13 and a half on Memphis, minus 19 and a half for Ohio State. And we're playing that three team parlay.

[Co-host]

DBU picks are presented by my bookie and mine is fairly simple. I'm looking at the over under on tonight's performance by Bulls starting point guard Trey Jones. The over under on his three pointers made is half of a three pointer. Oh, so all he has to do is make one.

[Dan Bernstein]

Yeah.

[Co-host]

And I'm going to take the over. I think Trey Jones is going to hit a three in tonight's game and.

[Dan Bernstein]

You'Ll win that bet.

[Co-host]

And that's all I need.

[Dan Bernstein]

I like that.

[Co-host]

That's all I need. Is that over? Because I'm starting to look at these now a little bit. He's not a great shooter. He's like a 30% shooter. But a well coached defense is going to leave him open and he's going to have to take a couple just to keep him honest. And my bet is here at home on rims on which he's used to shooting. One of them is going to go in. So that's what I have Trey Jones to hit a three. That is my DBU pick. And before I mention some of the stuff that you need to be aware of this weekend, I want to let you know that you can be the guy that's annoying in your group and you want to be that. You should strive to be the guy that doesn't shut up about the big parlay that you hit. Maybe it's four, five, six legs and then you're buying king crab legs for everybody you can buy or one for yourself. For every leg of the parlay that you hit, it could be you. My bookie makes it easy to get in on the action. College ball, NFL super contest, survivor pools. It's all the spreads, the player props and the in game lines you could want under one roof. And if you're new to my bookie, use the code. Any bet you choose, up to $500 fully covered, you make your play. If it doesn't hit, you get it right back. When you opt in using the bet back bonus token with the code. Well, what's the code? Dbu. That's it. Three letters. Dbu. Dan Bernstein Unfiltered. And then you can use the bet back bonus token and get that back. So make sure you establish your account, you make your deposit, jump in. There's no better place to play football is going. Let's make some money with my bookie. So make sure that you join Forward Progress not just today, but join Forward Progress this weekend right after the Bears and the Bengals finish up.
