The Stretch

Rico Bosco joins the show to talk about winning the grand prize against Eddie and WSD on the weekend's live stream. We then get real deep on college hoops including the Loyola Drake matchup, Illini futures, Big Ten in March, Northwestern future vs. Mizzou right now and a bunch of other shit about college basketball we normally don't do. After that we get into all the Bears trade rumors, if the Bulls should take, are the Hawks good? and where to WSD and Carl stand shortly before pitchers and catchers report!

Variety talk show encompassing national stories in pop culture, sports, & the internet hosted by Eddie, Chief & White Sox Dave. Harnessing the dynamic of the Barstool Chicago Radio hour, three longtime coworkers and Chicago locals offer their comedic perspective on news for the common man.

On today's episode of The Stretch, we get into the White Sox being on a 3 game win streak and how the banana bread bet is off to a hot start. We then get into the Cubs struggles and Cade Horton's injury. We are then joined by Big Cat for some talk of the upcoming nation championship for college basketball, and how the Chicago Bulls have hit a new low - To which we pose the question: how much worse would Big Cat realistically do as GM of the Chicago Bulls? Also Eddie is once again roasted for his secret Duke fandom. We close the show with a Masters preview from longtime Barstool blogger Barstool Banks.

On today's episode of The Stretch, we begin the show by recapping the first weekend of the 2026 MLB season and how there's no need to worry about the Cubs despite 2 losses. Big Cat and White Sox Dave place a bet on the over/under of total wins for the Chicago White Sox - if WSD wins he gets $1000. If Big Cat wins Dave must bake him Banana bread once a week for the rtest of the year. Later, we get into Eddie trying to defend Duke's Elite 8 melt down loss and the rest of the panel roasts him for his Duke fandom and more.
