Today’s post image is inspired by a delightful malapropism by our special guest this week, Travis Roeder. To get there, you’ll have to listen all the way to Picks of the Week, but I can assure you that it is well worth your time. Another fun fact: Did you know that Travis has never heard of Natalie Portman? That’s definitely something he admitted to in a totally serious way and did not immediately retract the statement as a joke. Mmmhmm. That happened.

Big thanks to Travis for coming on and talking with us about the state of the program at the midway point of the season, and what we think the Bears need to do to get over this hump that they’re seemingly facing. It’s a good time, and despite the frustrating nature of the first half of the season and, thus, the podcast’s subject matter, it was a good time with a lot of laughs throughout. We hope you enjoy it!
