Good podcast I enjoyed it most times but I can’t stand one thing. Kenneth Davis question asking is just awful. He can ask one question that is 300 words probably even longer. My god even sometimes he answers the question he’s trying to get to all while skewing off numerous tangents. In the beginning of the June 10th episode is very egregious. Wish another person can ask the questions it’s so annoying. Smartest guy in the room type person I guess. Once you notice it you can’t unnotice it. Hope I don’t ruin it for some but this could be a 5 star pod.

Argued For Fields after the could not get a ham sandwich and a bear for the overrated former Bears QB. Actually a 6th rounder and not 1 team wanted this guy.

Kenneth talks to much and he doesn’t understand when Josh or Alex express an opinion, he takes it as “No that’s not what I’m saying”, it can detract a lot.

Edit 2: these guys just don’t know football...and they don’t know business or organizational development. From 2 stars to 1. TRIPLING down on my Adam comment. “Fans are not caricatures”. The way you analyze Nagy, Phillips, Pace, etc. is 100% in caricature form. Clearly they have not had success, but neither has this podcast. Seem like low self-esteem commentators who pry off of emotion rather than professionalism. Stop and ask - legitimately - what their strategy is. Are they at the position they are because they’re incompetent? Then what would you think of yourselves? Chill out, guys and think like a professional. Edit 1: Rarely learn anything new unless he is on. “Detroit is bad”, “Texans are bad”. “Bears have a bad team”. No insight or football knowledge at all. What CAN you take from the game? The NFL changes every week. Stop. Think. And add something rather than recycling last week’s podcast Original: JJ takes an objective approach and adds value to the podcast by thinking through the reality of the bear’s situation rather than simply overreacting to the emotions of the game or moment. The same cannot be said for the rest of the cast, except for when Adam joins the pod. There are glimpses of insight from Cam and others but they would benefit from s-l-o-w-i-n-g down, thinking through both sides of an opinion and delivering some actual insight. Will continue to listen, but 3 stars until the group can advance from the emotional reaction of the “drunk guy at the bar” and instead move towards professional/insightful journalism that has actually been thought through before being spewed into the mic. Cheers.

Great podcast!

I used to enjoy this show before they hired Josh Schrock, not even Kennith or Alex can get me through the show if Josh is on it. Once he’s gone I’ll come back and I know I’m not the only one that feels that way.

The host never contributes anything meaningful to the conversation. He plays the role of a random bears fan very well. The co-hosts on the show are very smart and insightful so I’ll keep listening for now.

I’m a die hard and I’ve been looking for a podcast that covers the bears off-season because the main bears podcast doesn’t update like I would prefer. These guys are great and I love their content. Can’t recommend enough for die hard bears fans

Please do not associate Hobbit Holes with Aaron Rodgers. Hobbits are great. Very caring and kind. They love gardening, beer, food and weed. They are also very brave. Please do not talk poorly about them. Thank you! John

Decent contributors but annoyed frequently with the host and doesn’t seem to know what is going on players wise half the time. Maybe bottom 5 podcast now since jj, cam, hoge and kap left

Kenneth is mediocre and has trouble with the English language. He also brings up race way way too much. For him to say that if CJ Stoud were white, then he’d be clear cut best QB without any flaws is gross and short- sided. You know what I’m saying

Ken Davis is the man. Hands down the best Bear coverage out there.

Hey guys - Absolutely love listening to this podcast. You three make me laugh out loud frequently. I wanted to tell you a story about me. I’m 41 and while I was listening to your last podcast on Allen Robinson, I went into cardiac arrest. I was in the hospital for heart problems and the time so they rushed me to surgery and put in a pacemaker. After recovery and some emotional moments with my wife, I immediately put my earbuds back in and finished the podcast. I agree Allen Robinson should be ranked in the back half of the top ten. Thanks for entertaining me and welcoming this white guy on “team black quarterback.” I too wasn’t going to die until I saw Justin Fields play for my Bears. Keep up the excellent work friends. Jake from Grimes, Iowa. Adding on - that interview with D Orlando was one of the best interviews I’ve ever heard - I’m dying here.

Ken Davis is to blame on the bears loss. Always saying the kick is good before he kicks it. SMH

J.J. & Cam’s lame movie references have no place in a Bears show. Takes them forever to make a point and point is usually garbage. They need Holmes back to make this podcast tolerable. Subscribe to Hamp & O’B. #FireNagy

Love the show keep it up

Love this podcast crew simply because of the honesty. No blog boy nonsense here, just keepin it real like Miss Cleo used to do. Loving that new logo!!! Where do I go to get a tee to represent!

You’re doing great! This show helps me keep up with Bears news year round.

Enjoyable to listen to, but the host constantly mispronounces players’ names. Here and there is fine, but it’s every episode, numerous times. It’s distracting.

Why we talking about the white Sox

Bah. Too much human interaction over a hard to watch team. Too much jubilation. Too many tangents on skin care products or lack of use. Tony is always right. 5 stars

Great work on the pod. Love the in-depth coverage of our Bears. My go to Bears podcast.

I was a loyal listener to this podcast before the hosts were all changed but now I find it hard to listen to. There is little to no analysis of the Bears provided.

Love the show and am leaving a 5 star review. But for the love of god Stroebel shorten your answers half the pod is you yammering on let Ken give his thoughts more instead of just asking the questions and getting out of the way. Not trying to be a jerk but it really would make the show better.

The main issues I take with this pod are the poor reviews. I think the crew needs to take a good, hard look in the mirror and figure out the “why” of those reviews. They need to be better. It seems like they have great weeks of practice on NBCS and Twitter, but it isn’t translating to on-pod production. These are great opportunities to gain more positive feedback and reviews. I do believe in my heart of hearts this is a good podcast. You’d have to ask those poor reviews why they disagree. Ultimately, this one goes on me, though. I’m not stupid, I need to listen to the Under Center Podcast more.

This podcast is great EXCEPT for the game preview episodes with Siafa Lewis. Goes from an A to an F on Fridays. Please take him off the show. That said if you skip the Friday eps it’s good.

Hi guys, absolutely love the show and everything about the main group of guys. Great Bears talk, entertaining, informative—everything you could look for in a sports-team podcast. But can we please stop the Siafa Lewis regular guest thing? He nearly lost me entirely with the Nick Foles thing (claiming he’s a great option at QB??), then two minutes into me giving him a second chance, he denigrates the accomplishment of a wheelchair athlete completing a marathon saying it’s “obviously not the same thing”…you have got to be kidding me, dude. Just change the Friday segment to open mic day for Tony, please.

Been listening to the podcast since the 2018 season, they’ve done a great job. However, the Friday previews with siafa Lewis are unbearable, no pun intended. His talk makes it seem like the bears are the worst team in the league, (they’ve been better than his eagles).

Can you tell the squirrel story plz. Tony plz.

The buffoonery that’s going on the field 😂 that’s gold 😂

This guy needs to either actually learn about the Bears or find a new job. Trevis. Trevis. Trevis!!! Not Travis. Almost every episode he gets someone’s name wrong or just something that any fan would know, he has no clue.

The guys do a great job. Realistic, honest, and direct conversations about the crazy Bears. 3 a week should make for a enjoyable 2021 season.

I was skeptical when the show changed hands, but I am very impressed with the new crew. The whole squad adds something unique to the conversation and I love it. I love ALL the talk it allows you to be personal to the audience, do NOT stick to sports. Much love fellas keep up the great work. Part 2: you guys are of course killing it still, every show is a must listen with the whole squad improving every show. This group is very intelligent and good at keeping things interesting, I did just want to throw out that Eric Strobel, has the skincare regiment on lock, hot water and soap all day! 😂🤝

Like a lot of people, I’ve been listening to this podcast since jj and cam were hosting, and was a bit hesitant when the new guys took over. I was familiar with Tony Gill from his days on the Laurence Holmes show, but had no idea who anyone else was. I’m writing this review because I just listened to the podcast review of the day in the most recent episode, and some clown was trashing my guy Ken Davis. I had no idea who he was either, but he really grew on me and is now my favorite part of the show. Keep up the great work guys, and if they ever fire you all like they did with jj and cam, just go make your own podcast. I’ll be along for the ride!

Ken Davis routinely wrecks the show with his idiotic digressions and stupid, pointless comments. Get rid of him, and the show would deserve five stars.

These guys work their butts off and just like ARob deserve more money and attention. Best Bears podcast out there and I agree it’ll be great once the videos of the shows go on YouTube. Have you guys thought about doing a live show at a bar or having a fan guest host with y’all? Keep up the great work fellas

Love the classic UCP gang. You guys provide knowledge on the Bears while staying unbiased for the most part. Mainstream/Outside media guys like Siafa Lewis provide zero insight and sound uneducated on Bears matters. Anyone who has knowledge on the Bears understands this decision to draft Fields was all based on Nagy, who convinced Pace to pull the trigger. The same guy who was all in on the Chiefs drafting Mahomes. Please educate these morons next time they’re on the pod. Great work fellas!

When I first started listening to the current crew I didn’t have a ton of confidence. But over the weeks the chemistry between them has really come together and each one adds their unique and engaging perspectives. I really like all aspects of their dialogue, including the non football stuff, but most especially the societal component, and how they recognize that athletes are people and not just here for entertaining. My only concern is that my lack of a face care regimen might disqualify me as true fan of the pod. Is washing your face with the leftover shampoo that runs down your face in the shower count as quality face care? Asking for a friend. Also, I think Tony Gill needs to both release a children’s song along album, but also work one week purely for tips. Much love to all of you. Thanks for everything.

These guys are a great trio! Love the banter and discussions that they bring up. Best part is they can disagree with each other professionally. This isn’t a echo chamber where everyone agrees all the time. It’s incredibly funny, smart, and overall great to listen to while working out or on the road. It only gets four stars cause I WANT TO SEE THE GUYS TALKING TO EACH OTHER ON YOUTUBE!! I don’t want to watch online and just the the podcast logo for forty minutes! And the guys will make comments about what they are wearing that day (money shirt, grey and red set up etc) yet no one else can see it! SHOW US! Share that zoom video and you get that fifth star!

I’ve listened for a long time now and many hosts have come and gone but it still feels just a familiar as catching up with a buddy for a beer and talking sports everytime. Also big props for the Nagy pressure on Montys carries. I seen that conversation carrying over to fantasy football analyst and podcast so good work all around.

Matt if you are reading this forget about us the fans we know nothing you was an a impossibleSituation with Mitch Trubisky now you have the quarterback of your choice it’s time to open up your playbook and be great Ps please give David Montgomery at least 20 touches a game

I hope you guys actually play with the fantasy squads you made, if Justin fields plays early I have faith in Tonys team. I appreciate the great weekly content yall!!! 🐻⬇️

5 stars just for the jingle. Everything else is gravy. But in all seriousness, I’ve been loving the new group who took over this pod. No shade to JJ or Cam, this new group is just that good. Love the Bears talk, love the random intro chats. Keep it up!

I would highly recommend this podcast to somebody who is looking for bears talk. I like the content and the guests you have on. The occasional small talk only adds to flavor so keep it up! Can’t wait until the season starts.

Great show with Robert Mays! Keep up the good work, always a good listen.

Love the podcast! What would you recommend to somebody wanting to get into sports journalism? How to start and where to look. Thanks guys.

You guys are starting to find a good identity and I enjoy the various on topic and off topic discussions. Tony’s review of the day jingle cracks me up.

The guys are great and it’s an awesome show, I realize some people have a hard time with the extra chatter about manicures and grass but my only issue is with the covid vaccine talk. Breaking down a players answer on whether they have been vaccinated is quite frankly gross and it should not be publicly talked about. The non-vaccination shaming on episode 471. is just as sickening. Stick to football talk, You guys are better than that.

Why can’t the Bears tear down Soldier Field and put a new bigger, better stadium in the exact same spot. It’s a beautiful location, and close to everything. It’s not the same if they move to Arlington

One of the best bears podcasts out there, and some of the best parts is when u be knackin on each other😂
