Cubs begin must-win holiday weekend against Nationals, Pirates (Hour 1)

Bernstein & Holmes Show

Dan Bernstein and Leila Rahimi opened their show by explaining how the Cubs are entering a weekend of must-win games, featuring a road series against the Nationals and the start of a home series against the Pirates on Labor Day. Bernstein and Rahimi then discussed the Cubs’ new good luck charm: a candle that smells like singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. Later, Bernstein and Rahimi listened and reacted to Bears special teams coordinator Richard Hightower discuss the team’s plan for getting new long snapper Scott Daly up to speed. Daly is replacing veteran long snapper Patrick Scales, who underwent back surgery Thursday to fix a disc issue.
