On today’s show, Dan and “Giggles” Rongey will be broadcasting from the Auto Show, where there will be overweight, annoying, creepy people talking to them for no reason….but enough about The Shift Change.

Dan will continue to talk PECOTA Projections and read excerpts from Joe Sheehan’s newsletter (If you call yourself a baseball fan, you should subscribe). Callers will say dumb things, Dan will make fun of them, and Rongey will laugh uncontrollably at his hero.

They will discuss more the cutting of Jermon Bushman, and also bad Bulls basketball (is there any other kind?)

A good time will be had by all. Except the listeners.

You make a good point about Rongey. Doesn't take much for that guy to go into a "Giggles Fit". Christ, drinky simply makes fart noises and Rongey cracks up for 3 minutes during his update.

Dan knows all the inner working about the deep, deep divisions that have to happen in the locked rooms for the new Illinois AD.

he apparently knows one trustee and only talks about U of I because it makes him seem like he is a "reporter" with connections.... when in reality its pretty well proven the chicago market doesnt give a shit about u of I athletics unless they are 2005 tournament good.

I was going to go with his Dad knows one trustee.

"Smiles with Nostrils"

"...no Hmong, go find some blacks"

it was a long time ago, so I can't be compelled to remember the names, but he did name a few connections he had within the Illini at that remote. Terry has some connections too. I can't be compelled to remember because I didn't care then and don't now.

well, now I know for sure the Bulls are tanking. Dan, management mouthpiece, just recommended it. After saying all season that it's dumb to tank.

did he say who was the loud voice in the room to now advocate tanking?

Nope...he just suddenly reversed course and said to forget the season. If he starts breaking bad on Fred, plan on witnessing a firing.

How does tanking help them? They go from 16th pick to 14th?

Look how well tanking has done for the 76ers.......a Rockford Lighting mentality.....everyone that reports Chicago Hoops is a idiot!

We probably should have seen this coming. Theo tanks we all must tank.

They agree, and I with them, that wearing hats and sunglasses and that other crap while playing poker is complete bush league BS.

Dan making fun of anyone's writing is rich.

I listened to about an hour of the Dan Bernstein Affiliate Marketing Program today at various points, and I have to admit that Rongey isn't horrible in the Garry Meier role of making fun of the lead host. He should go back to St. Louis and get a job down there as a host.

Love that Rongey busts Dan's balls.... don't like that he blows him by laughing at every fucking stupid attempt by Dan to be funny.

I don't think Rongey can help it. Dan is hilarious.
