    Father Time remains undefeated
    Redline Radio used to be a must listen - always came out at the same time regardless of other schedules that had strong banter and decent commentary. Now it’s sporadic and maybe a 30 min show on a good day. 3 guys who mail it in and think they represent the city but really just don’t have the ability to stand on their own. Eddie is a great host but clearly has better projects; WSD can barely string a sentence together and refuses to talk about the team he’s named after; Chief is simply just there, like a plant in the corner catching sun. Big Cat bump keeps them barely afloat
  • tomriddle43
    What kind of podcast is this?
    These guys used to have such a grip on the podcast game. I love their energy and vibe, but it feels as though they just do not care anymore. Other bears podcasts are putting out way more content and are only honed in on one sports tea. The stretch has an entire city of sports and can barely manage to get 2+ a week. I mean the way they handled the Ben Johnson news was embarrassing.
  • Ehebdicyhrbrosodjneb
    Never have jersey jerry on again
    Everything about him is repulsive
  • Jamesbigo
    The show rocks.
    California Stoolie/Bears fan. Love hearing you guys talk about the bears. Look forward to it every week!
  • D Russ 57
    All Chicago sports… please
    Love the show but I think only a show about the bears is a mistake. Love listening to the group talk about all Chicago sports (minus the Bulls the last couple years) bring all Chicago major sports to the podcast.

    POST AT THE SAME TIME
    The absolute worst at posting at a consistent time whoever decides that they want to post it whenever they feel like it should be fired
  • NeedingUniqueNameToPostIs dumb
    Tough listens from Eddy
    Two episodes in a row where Eddy is just a chore to listen to. This draft episode where he just keeps bringing down the vibe when the guys are trying to riff. And then last episode where he kept the bit about bringing Dave breakfast in bed going for way too long. The horse was dead and then some by the third mention
  • BandoChief
    Anyone but Megan
    Great pod, always look forward to it but enough is enough of Megan makin money Christ almighty. Her laugh makes me want to go deaf.
  • hrbee23
    Love this show!
    Great podcast for Chicago sports fan and really anyone who needs a laugh. Eddie, Chief, WSD, and Danny never fail to make me laugh and I love getting all the latest updates on my favorite Chicago sports team. Keep up the great work boys!
  • RossColeman
    Low intelligence
    I can’t blame people for being dumb, but this group is so collectively strong in its convictions about everything that i can’t idly by and not write this. These guys are consistently saying the dumbest things imaginable.
  • Joey/Wannabe
    Great pod
    Leaving this review from my car. Not while driving though
  • kwubwuba
    This show doesn’t make sense anymore
    Used to be great chicago sports podcast. Cubs made the biggest coach move of all time and they don’t even talk about it until 5 days later. Frustrating and not worth listening to anymore
  • kingpatrick17
    Great listen
    Great listen
  • Brindzo
    Shows changed
    Changes are understandable since carl left. Love Danny. Cannot stand meganmakinmoney. I turn it off immediately when I hear her and I avoid listening when she’s featured. I miss when Chicago was the priority.
  • Uncle Doobiez
    Great Show but new changes are eh
    Love the show, even through all the changes. But adding Megan makin money to the show has been tough. I can’t even listen when she is on as part of the show. No offense to her but not fit for radio.
  • VegasPokerFan14
    Bring back red line
    This show use to be Red Line Radio which was all Chicago sports which was awesome. Now it’s just the guys rambling about nonsense and the sports is scattered in the show. Please bring back red line that was the best thing the Chicago guys do outside did the dog walk drafts.
  • KeesHimself
    Review
    The Chicago boys need some new content. Dave and Chief yelling at eachother every episode gets old. Maybe get out of the city every once in awhile…and leaving Chicago to pretend to bow hunt once a year only to argue about eating gas station food that you seem to live off already doesn’t really count. Might be time for Ed to stop babysitting the scrubs and have them make their own content. I’m out, 3 stars.

    WSD
    WSD is just a complete loser, there is no other way to really phrase it. Just a disgusting child of an adult male. How do these losers get hired at barstool?

  • okatmoviereviewing
    You messed with a good thing.
    RLR was awesome, this is not good, It’s not good at all. You guys changed a show where you use talked about sports and goofed around, to a show where WSD is the main focal point where you try to make a fool out of himself, and maybe a 5 minute segment on sports. Shame on you for this crap. Go back to the original format. If you can’t do it without Carl, find someone to replace him.
  • Lowercase dave
    Perfectly Mid
    Been listening to every show since RLR days. Great banter between the guys.
  • fitzyfresh
    Release the episode earlier
    I listen to podcasts during my morning routine / commute. The show would easily be my first string Thursday listen if it wasn’t for the late release time
  • Chucknorris 69
    This show is snooze fest
    This is below mid
  • pjcalisimo
    Where did the sports go?
    Whatever this is should have been a different show entirely, unsubscribed
  • lukebeckmann
    Bring back RLR
    Huge week for the bears and we’re talking about water bottles and wsd kicking a soccer ball.
  • Mbassman
    Disappointed
    Used to love Red Line Radio. The Midsow has fallen off a cliff. Please no more shows about a water bottle controversy. Love these guys, but I’m about to unsubscribe.
  • Kristich25
    Bring back RLR
    Miss the RLR format, WSD challenges can only be listened to for so long
  • nd200821
    What did I listen too?
    Go back to sports
  • JMoStudCo
    Untimely and minimal Bears updates
    Why does it take you 3-4 days to release a podcast with postgame bears content? Last week your bears coverage only consisted of Justin Fields post game antics and zero in-game analysis

    White Sox Dave
    Guy ruins a great show.
  • bruce11111111
    Bored
    To be completely honest Barstool Chicago fell off hard. They may be making good money but they definitely aren’t interesting or funny anymore. Need new blood
  • mdeuts
    Boys are mailing it in
    I’ve been listening since it was just Carl and Dave talking baseball in 2017. It’s really fallen off, you can tell the guys are much busier than before and just wing it most weeks. Seems like and after thought. Could do with much less inside barstool talk. Rather hear Chicago sports
  • NolanDS1711
    Love it
    Da boys crush it. It’s an every episode in the rotation type of pod
  • JoeHiggins7133
    You guys are awesome but...
    Please for the love of god shorten the ad reads. From RLR, to dog walk, to Wednesday rundown. They're 5 minutes at least. Look around😂nobody does more than a minute and a half
  • McTrizie
    WSD
    This show isn’t what it is without WSD. Love his view of life, hilarious. WhiteSox Dave, you rock!! I’ll buy you a new pair of shoes!!

    Solid podcast, used to be great
    Started listening 3 years ago and was my favorite Chicago sports talk show. Now that they’re under barstool its shifted far more into “barstool talk radio with white Sox rants”. There’s barely any bears talk anymore even with two episodes a week. And can’t even remember the last time the bulls were talked about.
  • SidSL5
    Great Chemistry
    Love these 4, great chemistry throughout
  • Bear wrestler
    Are you guys even bears fans anymore
    8 minutes of bears talk on the latest episode? You spent 25 talking about movies and tv shows, where are the postgame shows and Bears talk? Why are you so obsessed with doing podcasts with random Twitter users with 7k followers instead of talking about Justin fields
  • Fake Chicago Accent Carl
    Great Show
    Fantastic production. It’s clear that White Sox Dave is the weak link, his ranting that takes up 60% of the show detracts from the overall quality. Being crass and throwing swear words around like a 7th grader isn’t funny or insightful. Carl is also faking a Chicago accent.
  • Mcarlen2
    Perfection.
    The best most lovable guys on the internet.
  • kjd3454
    Barstool
    Barstool crushing another cast. If you’re into Chicago sports this is a must follow. If you like sports you’ll like this.

    Dave
    Dave’s favorite word is “I”.....it’s almost impossible how good he is at making it about Dave
