At the Chicago Bears training camp, Boers and Bernstein from The Score 670 were broadcasting on remote from Bourbonais, Illinois. Since DME decided not to come with us, due to his hatred of all sports non-baseball. I called him up and told him that we were watching live and that he should immediately call into the score. Within minutes, he is on the air talking about how much Carlos Marmol sucks and has been sucking more and more every year.
The video recording missed the beginning of the call where DME gives a much deserved shout-out to GOI, but the rest is part of GOI history.

It's "captured" not "caaptured"
Boehs and Bernstein are assholes! Not something we didn't already know but reinforced when seeing them live.
Cubsfan, TBO, and myself were the first ones to sit down and listen to them. During the first commercial break and essentially just us in the audience, Boehrs talked with what seemed like someone in his family (which is understandable but Bernstein just stood on stage for the entire break! Neither of them could acknowledge us, break or not! WTF!
The coolest guy there was Jason Goff who I'm not sure actually worked for The Score because he said he was fired (and I'm not sure if he was joking or not), but at least he introduced himself to us
I'm shocked they didn't go "NO YOU ARE WRONG AND STATS ARE BULLSHIT" -- thats their usual response to my call.
I thought they actually cut me off when i gave a shout out to the GOI blog because they usually go "uh huh, uh huh" while you talk and they didn't while i was talking. Thus, as you probably noticed, as i transitioned from cubs bullpen talk to Marmol i went "uhhhhhhhhhhhh" to see if i was still on the radio.
