Kris Bryant + Adam Engel

Kris Bryant (22:30) and Adam Engel (1:00:30) join Barstool Chicago this week on Red Line Radio. It's a loaded episode and we're very lucky to be joined by both players. Worth noting this is KB's 3rd appearance on the show making him our most frequented guest in history. Meanwhile Adam Engel informally and honestly takes us behind the scenes of the 2021 White Sox. The Hawks are still a dumpster fire. The Bears are about to get it fired up. Great week to sink into baseball and our usual bullshit. ...

MLB Got It Wrong + Chicago Baseball Is Unstoppable

Deep conversation this week about the state of MLB and it's not great. Tyler Glasnow motivated the guys to really dig into why MLB is making these changes.

Cancel The Baseball Season

Barstool Chicago welcomes back the MLB season in traditional fashion: getting WSD worked up about something stupid while Carl bitches about the Cubs offense.

Barstool Sportsbook Launch Day

It's the biggest day in Barstool Chicago history and we have a loaded All Gas No Brakes podcast to join the news. Blackhawks might get a trade deadline boost but not from a typical trade deadline source. The Cubs and Sox are letting fans in the stadium and WSD is on a quest to make opening day. Elsewhere Carl just plain and simple feels bad for Allen Robinson and awesome for Brad Underwood. The Illini are officially the #1 basketball team in Chicago even if the Bulls are so close to being kind o...

Eddie Broke His Ankle + JJ Watt To The Bears?

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 throws some sauce around the Blackhawks that makes the rest of the room perk up because it's starting ...

Cowboy Dave + Bears Legend Kevin Butler

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 Bear, kicking at Soldiers and some quality Ditka stories.

Lance Lynn + Bears QB Rumors

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.

Kris Bryant + Bears & Deshaun?

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 Jerry or eager to watch good baseball and exactly just how much the Blackhawks suck right now. PS THE B...

The Bad News Bears + Ryan Arcidiacono

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. After that we get a deep Blackhawks preview from Chief in the wake of the season opener even they don't ...

Bears vs. Saints Playoff Show With Ben Mintz

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 loves the Bears +10. After that we get into the future of Notre Dame, college bowl season (generally),...
