I keep tuning into this podcast…and the extremely long ad reads and gambling talk are huge annoyances, but frequently it will take 10…15…literally—with the 2025 Predictions episode—20 minutes for them to stop babbling and doing ad reads or talking about the Bears or the White Sox or college football to actually do something remotely interesting. The 2025 Predicitons one is a train wreck. This podcast at it’s worst is like listening to an annoying conversation about something you care about so you want to listen but you hate it…and this just cranks that up to ten and you’re like trapped in a subway car with no air conditioning and you can’t move . I really miss Ivy Envy: a lot less-selfabsorbed and actually funny guys who cared more about talking about the team than talking about themselves. And gambling.

A great podcast that discusses nuanced topics not relaying on dumb hot take opinions like other podcasts.

Just a brutal listen…I’ve tried to listen to multiple episodes and the lack of knowledge is glaring. From not even coming close to current payroll, Tucker apparently needs to platoon in the field because he isn’t good defensively….im out.

I really love listening to Cubs talk, especially over the winter. Thought I’d try this one. In the first one minute, one of the hosts (Cody?) said, and I’m paraphrasing, but it’s close: “Let’s savor the two months before the baseball season. I promise you, savor this time because the cubs will drain you.” That really was a horrible way to be introduced to a ‘Cubs loving’ Cub’s podcast. Yes, the Cubs will frustrate us. Fine. But we’re here because we love them, not hate them. Cody is jaded. His audience isn’t. I mean, if we seek him out, we’re not looking to be away from the Cubs, right? I know there are podcasts where the people actually aren’t so negative. I’ll look for those.

Ricketts doesn’t crew about a legit winning team, “he” won his ws and until he stops making money, he will not spend a dime more than he has (that’s how that family does business, look them them up) GO HAWKs!!!!GO BEARS!!

Cody ruins what could be a great podcast. Cory and Brendan are two of my favorites, but I hate Cody soooooo much he brings the rating to -10 stars.

Love this group, each personality fits perfect. Always enjoy Cody's beer bat chug after the Ws! Keep up the great work!

My go-to podcast for all things Cubs. I live out of state so keeping up with he daily happenings and stories of my beloved Cubbies is a must.

Cody talks to much.

This should be a good podcast; Brendan and Corey are awesome. Luke is a good host. Ryan is a nice addition. But my god, Cody is the worst podcast co-host I have ever heard. He just talks in circles saying absolutely nothing. A meatball fan they pulled out of the bleachers just shouting nonsense. I’ll listen to episodes if Cody isn’t on the show but otherwise it’s a hard pass.

That guy’s voice is worse than nails on a chalk board. The rest of the crew is solid but Cody, man he’s worthless. Dude has a voice for a Chaplin film. Stop with the vocal fry.

I know they need ads for revenue, but it feels like at least 20 percent of the show consists of advertisements. Some good insights but constant interruptions for sponsors.

There aren’t a lot of options for Cubs-specific podcasts and the best I can say about this show is that it’s about the Cubs. These guys talk a LOT without saying much.

CHGO Cubs is an amazing crew who provide a lot of different insight on the team while keeping the show fun. The entire team shares a ton of knowledge and certainly the best podcast around!

Better than the cubs talk podcast 110%.

Love CHGO Cubs. But no more Braggs. He already caused me to stop listening to CHGO Bears. I hope he doesn’t ruin my favorite Cubs show. Probably a nice enough guy, but there is no shame in being a fan and laying bricks.

Great show, huge fan. These guys are the perfect combination of knowledgeable, funny, and fans.

Corey and Brendan are the TRUTH. Some of the best analysts in the game and I hope they continue to speak on my favorite ball club.

Shows after home games are better cause that means less Ryan more Cody! Great show

If you want to stay up to date on the current pulse of the average fan it’s a good podcast. But it’s extremely overreactionary in both directions. It’s like if Stephen A. Smith did a cubs podcast. There’s no big picture and the thought process seems flawed. For example saying this 2023 cubs team lack mental toughness is not really true. It’s just a projected 78-win team performing as such.

Like this show that has knowledgeable Cubs talk.

Brendan and Corey have a great show, would love to leave a better review but they would be better off just letting Cody go. Dude provides nothing except awful takes and an obnoxious voice. Praying for the day Cody is no longer on the show and he gets a real job.

Love this one!!!

THE place for Cubs fans all week long

Love the vibe of the show makes you feel like your right there in wrigleyville no matter where you are. I enjoy Cody and Luke and the atmosphere they bring. Solid content all around .

These guys are a must listen for Cubs fans. Luke is passionate and wise (old) like me. Cody brings the vibes, Del-metrics and tips back a cold one for all of us. Corey gives A+ recaps and says what we’re all thinking. Brendan has a PhD in baseball physics and should be on Jed’s payroll. Their postgame show is like pulling up a barstool with friends.

Have never left a podcast review in my life but felt motivated after Cody took to Twitter to whine about people who don’t enjoy what he specifically brings to the podcast (nothing of substance, tangents about sneakers) leaving ::gasp:: three star reviews to convey that they enjoy some but not all aspects of the show. Just an unspeakably soft, weak man. Like everybody else, really enjoy Brendan & Corey. Show could certainly stand to trim the fat though, literally.

These guys are very dialed in and ALSO big Cubs fans so I appreciate that with this crew. Very informative and entertaining, epic vibes!

These guys do tremendous work and are a must-listen/watch for Cubs fans. Daily content and fun, informative analysis. Five stars.

Corey and Brendan are awesome but my favorite part of the show are the weekday episodes. Great stuff all around. #VibeWithUs

Corey & Brendon are the best Cubs podcasters. Extremely informative with a lot of structure to their episodes. They have been one of my favorite parts of baseball season since I started listening to them when they first started the Cubs related podcast. CHGO and the additional hosts lack any structure to their episodes and spend less time actually analyzing baseball and talk more about things that are baseball adjacent like having beer bats at Wrigley or completely unrelated to baseball like Cody’s shoes and gambling habits. They often take over 20 minutes of the podcast before even getting to baseball. Even worse is since the takeover of CHGO Corey and Brendan have been reduced to only once a week analysis of the Cubs instead of after every series. They remain the only reason I remain subscribed to this podcast and I have started seeking out other Cubs podcasts to fill the void (have been enjoying “Onto Waveland”). I wish there was a CHGO Cubs Related podcast for just Corey & Brendon to keep doing what they had been doing.

Corey and Brendan is an elite cubs podcast duo, whatever else they post through the week? not so much at all

Great podcast! These guys are super energetic and passionate about all things Cubs. Always great to hear their enthusiasm and feedback.

Corey, Brendon, Ryan and Luke are all fantastic. Great insight and knowledge. But Cody is just not currently cut out for a daily Cubs podcast. He seems like a good guy, but I think he just got thrown into this position that he is unqualified for. Good for him I guess, but his Cubs knowledge is severely lacking. He has no original thoughts and just repeats what everyone else says, or what he saw on Twitter 5 minutes before the show. If I were him, I’d take some time off from podcasting and actually learn about the Cubs.

Love this podcast. These guys are insightful and true fans. They aren’t over the top or too full of themselves. You can envision joining the conversation and feeling right at home. This is the place for Cubs fans.

I have been listening to Brendan and Corey prior to them joining you. They nailed it during this podcast. As a long term “senior” cubs fan they fairly and effectively summed up I’m surr many Cub fan feelings. Excellent job!!

I keep trying to give this podcast a try and every single episode I’ve listened to, they just get it wrong. Whether it is just misrepresenting stats or just poor baseball knowledge, it is very typical of sports writers and podcasters who want to sound knowledgeable, but ultimately just fall flat.

Regularly enjoying CHGO Cubs content. These guys were sharp enough to fulfill one of the few holes in Cubs related content and I got mad respect for that. That said, I want to challenge them to be focused on improvements, which can of course come in a multitude of ways. For starters, someone at CHGO is hopefully in a position to be a talent coach that can speak to Cody about him constantly saying the word LIKE. It bothers me so much at times that I cannot continue listening. We all have our faults my man, just put in the work and clean that crutch up and you will really be cooking! Happy Holidays!

The pod stops playing at 6:45…come on fellas…BIG fan of the show…please fix this…thanks

My favorite episode was when Luke and Steve fought to the death. RIP Steve

Corey and Brendan break things down. So good.

This show is awesome if you are a true Cubs fan. Up to date news and great breakdowns

I meet my girlfriend thanks to this podcast, thanks Brendan and Corey!

I absolutely love CHGO. There’s truly nothing better than this Cubs pod!!

Bummed about the shift to CHGO. I just want Corey and Brendan feeds, not daily pods that lack substance. Was a listener for several years, but I unsubscribed.

Gordon Whittenmyer ruined Cubs Talk.

This is like Cubs talk on steroids. Love the new additions, love hearing Corey and Brendan break off for their stuff still, really been enjoying Brendan’s written stuff. It’s just a great team of people providing more Cubs coverage than I’ve ever experienced as a fan. Super happy that CHGO launched!

It’s always difficult when a show changes styles and new groups form but this Cubs pod is really starting to find its rhythm. Love the different voices and perspectives. Love the laid back feel of guys who love the team/sport talking baseball. Strongly recommend for Cubs fans.

Why is all of this trash in my feed? Just want to hear Corey and Brendon.

Great to see Luke Stuckmeyer bring his experience, insights, and fun on-air personality to this podcast. Nobody does Chicago sports better than Luke. Excited for more episodes.
