Josh RosenbergHOST
It used to be really like homey and neighborhoodly.
Josh RosenbergHOST
And now like the cubby bear has been taken over by like an announcement, like an EDM spot.
Josh RosenbergHOST
I went in there.
Josh RosenbergHOST
Yeah.
Josh RosenbergHOST
with a band that came to town to visit me and visit and play.
Josh RosenbergHOST
And they, we all went to a game at the Cubs and they're like, let's go to the cubby bear.
Josh RosenbergHOST
And like, it's just pumping music.
Josh RosenbergHOST
I'm like, what? Whoa.
Pete JansonsHOST
Well, getting to the Bears, I do think they're going to go there.
Pete JansonsHOST
But when you do that, I mean, just think of Cubby Bear and Wrigley Field, right? All the bars, right? So not only will you get the opportunity to book something for the McCaskies or whatever, but stuff is going to pop up around there.
Pete JansonsHOST
And even if it doesn't, Arlington Heights, I would think you get on that train, right? It's just one stop over and you're hopping out and you're Peggy Kinane's, right? Yeah.
Pete JansonsHOST
So I did.
KenzieHOST
So I think that pop-up bar is like, you know, you find out you're the same fan of a band or a series or whatever it is, right?
Brian HaddadHOST
Yeah.
Brian HaddadHOST
For example, the Q101 free pop-up with the band Messed at the Cubby Bears, Saturday, November 21st.
Brian HaddadHOST
Put that in your phone right now.
Brian HaddadHOST
You can download your free ticket at Q101.com, 21 and over.
CaseHOST
lot.
CaseHOST
I think that was when we did neon trees at the Cubby Bear.
CaseHOST
I can't remember what pop-up it was because we've done so many of those Halloween pop-ups at the Cubby Bear, but I remember not being ready for snow.
CaseHOST
Yeah.
CaseHOST
And then it's snowing, which certainly caught me off guard.
Brian HaddadHOST
I remember walking out of the Cubby Bear, and it felt like Antarctica.
Brian HaddadHOST
I slipped and fell, and then people just looking at me.
Brian HaddadHOST
I'm like, ugh.
Paul HletkoGUEST
798 probably.
Paul HletkoGUEST
It was a show at the Cubby Bear.
Paul HletkoGUEST
This is not like a show at the United Center.
Paul HletkoGUEST
It's a tiny, if you don't know the Cubby Bear, from Chicago, it's a small venue.
Paul HletkoGUEST
They remembered it, which is really cool.
JohnHOST
How great would it have been if they were like, Paul, look, I heard the demo.
Brian HaddadHOST
the next free Q101 pop-up.
Brian HaddadHOST
So we just had one recently with Lovely the Band at the Cubby Bear, one of our favorite spots, our great friends, the Cubby Bear and School of Rock, a part of it.
Brian HaddadHOST
So Q101 is proud and stoked to announce the next Q101 pop-up, which is a free show, by the way, and it will be with our local friends.
Brian HaddadHOST
You know them.
CaseHOST
We would think that by the third week in November, the Saturday before Thanksgiving, which is when this pop-up is, it's going to be jacket weather.
CaseHOST
It's going to be a little bit chillier.
CaseHOST
We don't want people waiting outside the Cubby Bear all day long.
CaseHOST
Right now, you can go to Q101.com and download a guaranteed entry ticket so we can make sure that you are in the Cubby Bear.
Brian HaddadHOST
Can I say anything about like where it is? Like where the show is? Yeah, our huge.
Brian HaddadHOST
Yeah, it's at the Cubby Bear.
Brian HaddadHOST
Yeah, Cubby Bear, our huge spot there.
Brian HaddadHOST
And a free show, a Q101 pop-up is if you're just new to the show.
KenzieHOST
We're now charging $500 a person to get in.
KenzieHOST
Don't
Brian HaddadHOST
worry about it.
Brian HaddadHOST
Do you want VIP seating? Extra $100 at the Cubby Bear.
KenzieHOST
So they're going to have these mini ones to help keep it going.
Brian HaddadHOST
Yeah, the next Q101 pop-up at the Cubby Bear is a data center.
Brian HaddadHOST
I just want to say,
CasePANELIST
by the way, and this might be outdated information.
Karl RavechHOST
Is there a way you can quantify that? In that year, Joe's understanding about managing the personalities that maybe other managers sometimes miss, or if that's not the secret sauce, what was it about the combination of player and Madden and his musings that worked?
Anthony RizzoGUEST
Yeah, I remember Joe's first press conference at the Cubby Bear across the street.
Anthony RizzoGUEST
He talked about building relationships with guys and getting to know guys first, and it just resonated with me right away because that's how I was and I am.
Anthony RizzoGUEST
being able to talk to Joe was so easy.
CasePANELIST
So they're going to have these mini ones to help keep it going.
Brian HaddadHOST
Yeah, the next Q101 pop-up at the Cubby Bear is a data center.
Brian HaddadHOST
I just want to
KenzieHOST
say, by the way, and this might be outdated information.
