Red Line Radio

The Red Line crew pulls off the improbable upset of selling out a bar at a Jewel Osco in honor of the single most premium Spirit brand on the planet, New Amsterdam Vodka. This is the full audio from the night's event, which we're turning over to you as a random bonus episode that was recorded, edited and produced from the bottom of our collective hearts. There's nothing related to Barstool Chicago that doesn't get covered in the live show including how Big Cat started the site, why Eddie really loves a Jewel-Osco, how long it would take to eat an aisle of cereal and the list goes on. Thanks to the filthy animals who showed up last Thursday, and thanks to those who are willing to retroactively consume this content. We love you, we love making this stuff and we hope you can visit us at our next live show on TBD at TBD.

The Red Line crew is proud to present it's first Beefsgiving, a new holiday recognizing a beef sandwich meal before recording your Thanksgiving podcast in Chicago. Or something like that. Anyways we got some amazing behind the scenes stories from Eddie and WSD about their 4-hour beef/pizza/hot dog excursion this past Friday night in Chicago. Spoiler Alert: Eddie hates spoilers and Dave was full of them Friday. It's an argument/rant from Eddie for the ages. Next up is first place Bears talk about and why this team is ready to bury our insecurities as Bears fans once and for all. Cody Parkey obviously gets a few beefs. Carl then does some brain pretzeling on why the Cubs could land Harper, but likely sacrificing something major in the process that would leave Cubs fans shook. Next, Chief and WSD sit down with EDDIE OLCZYK, a certified living legend, to recap the state of the Blackhawks in Part 1 of a lengthy 2 part series with Edzo. It's an amazing interview loaded with the stuff we love to bring you: laughs, i

The Red Line crew is absolutely FIRED UP about the Bears dominating performance against the Lions. Mitch looked awesome, Nagy is settling in, receivers are wide open, Khalil Mack murdered several people in a single play, and on and on and on it goes. The Bears are ROLLING and Red Line Radio is along for the ride. In the process Eddie explains why no matter how bad Cody Parkey kicks, he's not going anywhere anytime soon. Chief gives a phenomenal update on Jeremy Colliton's debut on the Hawks and where his challenges will be over the remainder of his presumably brief time with the Hawks. WSD gives a behind the scenes look at Bryce Harper while Carl blows some wind on Buster Olney's clickbait report on the Cubs trading Kris Bryant. Elsewhere, the boys make some huge announcements regarding Italian Beef sponsors, the Winter Meetings, the Winter Classic and then Carl drops an extended grabbag on some Chicago delicacies. After that the crew is joined by active Marine and renowned baseball statistician Ryan Spaeder

Not much else to say here. November 6, 2018 will go down in Blackhawks history for all the wrong reasons. Brent Sopel joins Chief and Carl to talk about what made playing for Q so different, why he was the best, always will be the best and got nothing but a good old fashioned fuck job on his way out of town. But like all good rememberances, we're not here to grieve. We're hear to celebrate. Sopes makes it so damn clear why Stan Bowman is a dead man walking, figuratively.

Episode 76 is as loaded as your Uncle at an Old Country Buffet baked potato bar. Spoiler Alert: very loaded. The Red Line crew spent some time in Evanston this past weekend watching Notre Dame continue its march to a perfect season against the Northwestern Wildcats and who would have guessed it Northwestern lost. Dave and Chief recount the game and tailgating at Northwestern. "Not Bad," says Chief, disappointedly. Elsewhere, Eddie is back from his week at the spa to explain why the Bears 41-9 victory was so damn sweet. Notably, Eddie got a good look despite a big blowout, and he thinks the boys are really starting to come together. In other words, the breakdowns are big and beefy, just how we like it. After that, Dave and Carl go back and forth in a hot debate about whether Machado or Harper fit into the Sox plans and what it would take to sign either. There's a noticeable difference the boys uncover later in the conversation. Chief then gives a passionate look at why the Hawks suck, why some heads

The Red Line Boyz are back in action after watching the Bears dismantle the New York Jets. Eddie got laid up in the hospital after some bad car wash beef but is still able to come off IR for solid Bears talk as always. Carl's new dog, Scottie Puppen, is introduced (not really) as the official mascot of Red Line Radio, the first true mascot in Barstool Sports history, allegedly.Later, Chief and Dave go inside and out on Northwestern/ND this weekend with some piping hot takes and lots of arguing. Spoiler Alert: White Sox Dave loses the argument, but all signs point to a major Northwestern upset. So that's nice. Chief proceeds to solve the Blackhawks while Carl tells his Stan Bowman story for the 10th time in Red Line Radio recorded history. WSD then covers Chicago offseason baseball moves for what seems like an eternity, but only because there's so much juicy info. It's the first of many deep hot stove convos between WSD and Carl. Elsewhere, we have lots of beef sandwiches, segments (not really), voicemails, ex

The biggest episode in the history of Red Line Radio featuring the boys' collective childhood hero, Brian Urlacher. #54 joins the boys to talk retired life, getting juked by Tom Brady, winning without a quarterback and everything else the Red Line guys could throw at him. As always, Urlacher does not disappoint. Around the interview, the boys give their Bears/Patriots reactions lead by Eddie's staunch belief that the Bears are trending up. Also, Chief explains why the Hawks are back but far behind the Elite teams as evidenced by the Lightning beatdown. Carl and Dave chat up the World Series, Eddie explains why Zach Levine looks like the real deal (note: before Lavine went off in Dallas btw) and then Carl drops a new cornucopia of questions on the boys. They close with segments Buy Him A Beef and Big Shoulders per usual. Thank you sponsors: Tropical Bros, The Athletic and Mack Wheldon!

Big Cat joins the Red Line boyz to breakdown the most disappointing loss Chicago Bears fans have suffered since week 1 of this year. Not a long time, but still remarkably soul crushing. We have first place expectations, and we will honor those expectations regardless of their validity. Eddie and Big Cat assign blame, talk through their issues and help us move on to New England because God knows the Bears need everyone's help. Big Cat also helps the boys get through some Bulls expectations for the year, and we can all agree a successful year includes a lottery pick, post play development and some flashes from Zach Lavine. In other words, it's very very bad. But not all teams in the UC are destined for misery. The Hawks look PHENOMENAL and Chief is going to explain why that does not apply to Brandon Saad and why he will not be buying him a beef. Carl and Dave round out playoff observations on Chris Sale sucking and the new Cubs hitting coach. Other segments include Carls Cornucopia (a grab bag of Carl questions

The boys are back after a well deserved bye week and holy shit does Carl need it coming off the Cubs collapse. Before he explodes, the boys prepare you for your 1st Place Chicago Bears week 6 game against the overwhelmingly mediocre Miami Dolphins. Eddie has PTSD from the last time they came to town but is still confident this is a Bears beatdown and for good reason. White Sox Dave tries to jynx the season unintentionally but not really because he is a troll. And after done trolling the Bears, he turns his attention to Carl who finds a solid half hour of group therapy on this week's show to work through his Cubs related issues. Disclaimer: he does not mean any of the bad things he says about anyone this week. SPOILER ALERT LOTS OF BAD THINGS. White Sox Dave then plays a game of River Boat Gambler with Rick Hahn's checkbook as he pontificates the big swinging dick's moves this offseason. Chief explains why the Hawks are back including a remarkable profile on THE CAPTAIN. Voicemails, Gas Money Bob, Dope Ropes a

The Redline Radio boys are STRUGGLING after Carl's wedding weekend. It's an All Gas No Brakes Podcast, but they are running on fumes. RLR pulls back the curtain and unveils a new segment called "White Sox Daze" to let the listeners in on all the eyeroll inducing instances that occur when you're working with White Sox Dave.  The ONLY thing giving them life this week was that Monster of the Midway Defense and Mitch Trubisky showing signs of life. Eddie is bringing the noise, the energy, and the analysis of the Bears' blow out of the Tampa Bay Bucs. With the offense now showing real signs of life heading into the bye week and the team in first place, the guys reset their expectations for the rest of the year and circle a few dates on the schedule including games with the Patriots and the Rams.  Carl breaks down what went wrong with the Cubs down the stretch and the pickle they're in now with the Brewers in Game 163 and looks ahead to a potential Wild Card showdown and NLDS matchup with Milwaukee.  Eddi

The Bears are alone in first place and the boys are here to rub the world's best defense in your face. Never mind the quarterback problems, this is Chicago Bears football of course the quarterback is the only question mark. Fortunately Eddie is here to be your spiritual guide as you manage your Mitch Trubisky expectations. On the north side of town, the Cubs are still in first place. Silvy from ESPN 1000 joins the boys to talk October expectations while Carl predicts a 16-inch softball style lineup for the October Cubs. Chief gets his first full Hawks monologue, and it's loaded with names no one else can pronounce or spell. But's he's all fuckin jacked up with optimism and that's GOOD NEWS for Red Line Radio. We close with a new yet monstrously important segment: Big Shoulders Of The Week, an award voted on by the listeners based on 4 submissions from Carl, Dave, Eddie and Chief and one listener submission Tuesday after the show drops. This week it's Hendricks, Hawk, McManus and Lauri in that order. Listen in

The Red Line boyz have a little extra bounce in their step this week after watching the Bears DISMANTLE Russell Wilson and the once great Seattle Seahawks on Monday Night Football. The Bears defense is back to its rightful Bad Boy status while Mitchy Dual Threat Trubisky proves all the Patrick Mahaolmes Enthusiasts that a Win is a Win is A Win. Eddie and Chief take you through all the Bears highlights before letting Carl and Dave drag their baseball ballz all over the Cubs playoff talk. Fortunately it's never too early to start talking White Sox B-side Free Agency so Dave covers that too. Chief glazes the episode with some in-person observations from the Hawks first official scrimmage, which is very nice.

The boyz are here to face the music in the wake of getting tea bagged by Aaron Rodgers on national television. There's no time for crying though because Chicago is in the middle of a Super Bowl run (last time the Bears went 15-1? 1985) and soon to be a deep October run. Or something like that. White Sox Dave has PTSD following the Michael Kopech Tommy John surgery announcement, which is better than how Eddie is faring after Coach Nagy's disappearance in Sunday night's second half. Chief does his best to find a silver lining while Carl repeatedly reminds everyone at all times that the sun will rise tomorrow. Segments include: Red Line Radio official Matt Nagy press conference, White Sox Dave State of the Union, Cubs Counseling with Carl and of course VOICEMAILS 224-544-9194!You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube.

Carl goes off on why Kyle Hendricks is back, Dave pumps/blows Northwestern football (again) while Chief and Eddie remind you that the best Bears talk from now and til forever will be right here on Red Line Radio.

The boys go to hockey camp with Jeremy Roenick, despite Dave and Carl not ever playing hockey before. Eddie from the OG Barstool Chicago crew joins to talk Urlacher legacy and early observations from his expert opinion. Take a bath in his velvet voice while your here. Dave unloads major Eloy demands before honoring the heroic and historic Peoria, IL native Jim Thome. Carl tries to tarnish his legacy with alleged speculation of allegations. Cubs talk predominantly revolves around why Hendricks is getting touched up early and why Cole Hamels might be a bigger pick-up than you think. Some new segments include This Week In Nice Things We Do Not Deserveand Blowin Wind. We're working on more, we promise. Also, Carl loses his goddamn mind on Rick Morrisey for a solid 7 minutes starting around 1:13.
