The guys are back and all over the place. They discuss whether the Cubs are playing for anything, how to binge watch TV shows, what’s up with Isaac Paredes, and how Pete Crow-Armstrong fixed his swing by imitating who? They also wonder if the Cubs are playing with fire by letting Hector Neris get close to guaranteeing his option, and then the unthinkable…are we sure we want Cody Bellinger to come back? It’s complicated and mostly because of the rest of the roster, not Cody himself. Andy compares him to Frank Sinatra via Bob Newhart, and then Andy gets confused and miscasts a great Stevie Wonder commercial spoof by forgetting that Stevie was in it! All that, and more.

And Hard Knocks started on Tuesday, with Caleb Williams proving he can’t sing. We also got to watch The Flus some advice from his old college coach Nick Saban, some hair styling advice from his wife and we got to watch him give out a nickname in real time. What a world.

I would actually really enjoy a Bears podcast with Flus wife and daughters after we saw their analysis of the Hall of Fame Game.

You, will have to settle for our Hard Knocks podcasts, Wednesday nights with Mike Praznowski and Mike Pusateri.

But you should listen to this one first.
