The Stretch

Barstool Chicago is joined this week by entertainment legend Jerry Springer (30:45) to talk about his time in Chicago and the evolution of his cultural popularity. Before and after the interview, it's an old school red line radio with a ton of love and emphasis on Chicago baseball. The Cubs are the sport's hottest team. The White Sox have a commanding lead of the Central. The Padres just got swept. Everyone is happy heading into the best couple months of the year. Stay safe and be responsible. All Gas No Brakes.

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.

A New Untold Story

A New Untold Story is a podcast. KB was the smallest newborn in the history of Wheeling. Nobody believed that he would survive, but KB believed he was a legitimate miracle. KB loved baseball despite that he almost never got to play, and when he did it was only to get a walk from his small strike zone. Nick's mother, Rebecca Wentworth, got pregnant in high school. The only fact anyone knows about Nick's parentage is that Rebecca met his father on a train. Her refusal to reveal the identity of the father has made Nick a living town scandal. KB is obsessed with how long he can hold his breath underwater, always trying to improve this ability.
