So if you would, take us into the moment where you're first receiving that diagnosis.

Yeah, yeah.

And Dennis, like I tell people when I speak and whenever I speak to other survivors that like if you go to someone and say, I've got a membership for you to the best club you could be in.

But you have to get cancer to be in the club.

I believe being a cancer survivor is truly the best club to be in because you've been on this journey.

You appreciate everything you've been through.

You have found the other side here.

That requires strength, individual strength, I would

You agree?

Right now, yeah.

I mean, like, I think what I want to see, Cap, is where does this eventually settle? We know he had, like, people, it's so funny reading some of the responses on Twitter when I wrote, hey, we just watched.

one of the historically great months of all time.

And there's a stack going around where I think, like, the only better months statistically all around were from Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig.

Like, it is inarguable what he did in June.

Why I think it's not going to settle like last year and go down, he's definitely going to slump.

tomorrow morning on the show.

So I was going to ask you, like, what are your do you think Ryan Poles did enough to elevate this team next year based off of what happened? Or like, what are your thoughts about Ryan Poles in his role and what he has given Ben Johnson heading into 2026?

This is always lost in translation, Michael, and I always try and hit it with the nuance point.

I understand what the Bears' philosophy was this offseason.

I understand they have a lot of money in the defensive line.

So I love a lot of the moves that they made.

That should help.

The team speed should help.

So what are your thoughts about how he's handled the whole situation and whether, you know, you kind of blame him for what's been going

Yeah.

... who've been on winning programs.

They've coached and they've played, and, and, like, a lot of people, we've gone too far, where, uh, like you were talking about, the internet comments, where, "Oh, that's meathead shit, Sylvie.

It's just meathead stuff." It's still a human being's game.

You have to relate to the coach.

You have to get emotion.

This is a, a game that's violent.

Right.
