Episodes
-
S8Ep13: Tyson KO'd.
Congratulations to the Green Bay Packers for beating Tyson Bagent in Week 5 of 2026. There is no reason to play out the rest of the season, this was the most meaningful moment of the year, we should all just pack it up.
-
S8Ep12: The Bears Are Good.
The Bears are a better team than the Packers, even with Tyson Bagent at the helm for at least one more week. Should the boys of Zero Doinks be more nervous than they seem? Plus Dan visits Northwestern’s new palace and Bill is excited about the Sox.
-
S8Ep11: Case's Moment + The Robe.
Case Keenum was the star but Caleb’s robe is the talk of the town. The Bears remain frisky as they await their star’s return. Zero Doinks is hype(d).
-
S8Ep10: Nearly Dead.
That was scary, let's not do that again. The boys ponder temporary Bears life without Caleb while trying to dig themselves out of the misery that was Week 2. Caleb will be back soon (Monday?) and the league shall pay for their sins.
-
S8Ep9: Oh My.
59 points in the season opener. What is next for the greatest offense in the history of sports? Vikings up next. Plus Rick Feelsmen starts hot and wants you to ride with him. The rest of the league is fighting for second place. This is our life now.
-
S8Ep8: Strap In.
As the Bears look to start their road toward repeating as NFC North champs, Dan pays respect to the recently-departed Dolly Parton as only a Doink could do. Why are we completely without nerves going into Week 1 at Carolina? Surely that won't backfire. Rick Feelsmen and his three hot picks make a...
-
S8Ep7: Ben's Second Act Approaches.
Real Bears football is less than two weeks away as the 53 is (basically) set. How confident are the boys of Zero Doinks that the Bears will return to the playoffs and how do they stack up against the rest of the NFC North? Is Josh Jacobs a proper representative of the Packers organization as a...
-
S8Ep6: A Quiet Camp, Please.
Come join the boys of Zero Doinks and pass the dog days of Summer along with a wee bit of Bears talk as training camp storylines are about to be beaten to death by the lame group of Chicago beat reporters. Do not fret and join us in our hopes for a quiet, uneventful camp, unless of course Ryan...
-
S8Ep5: Road to Unbeaten.
The boys have spent the week spoiler-free prior to the Bears 2026 schedule being released. Rick Feelsmen joins Zero Doinks to unveil the road to an undefeated '26 season. Hilarity ensues?
-
S8Ep4: Let Ben Cook.
The 2026 NFL draft selections by Ryan Poles and Ben Johnson were flawless. After some chatter about Dan's hair, the boys of Zero Doinks go over this crop of future Super Bowl champion rookies and look at the complete roster that is shaping up for the unstoppable Bears.
-
S8Ep3: Can The Illini Finally Do It?
Illini hoops has made the Final Four for the first time in 21 years and the third time in the life of Bill Doinks. He's here to get a few things off his chest about the Illini's history leading up to this moment as well as some thoughts about their chances to break through for their first-ever...
-
S8Ep2: Bears Offseason Talk with Rick.
Rick Feelsmen joins the boys in studio to discuss all the happenings with the Bears during a surprisingly-busy offseason. March Madness kicks off this week - how far can the Illini climb? Dan makes a shocking wager about the 2026-27 Gophers hoops season and tons more as the boys gear up for the...
-
S8Ep1: Rick Feelsmen Tells All.
The world's most wanted man, Rick Feelsmen, joins Zero Doinks for an exclusive interview after Selection Sunday's meltdown on X. The boys break down where things went wrong for Rick, who's to blame, and whether or not Rick's source should be doxxed. Rick has a few bones to pick with national…
more -
S7Ep27: To Be Continued.
What a ride this Bears squad took us on. The window is open, the Bears have their coach, their QB and their TE, at the very least, and rival fans of NFC North teams are nervous. The Doinks boys talk about their in-person perspective during the playoff overtime loss to Matt Stafford and the Rams…
more -
S7Ep26: To The Divisional.
Two wins away from the Super Bowl, three to hoist the Lombardi. We feel hopeful about the Bears chances and after listening to Zero Doinks - so should you. Another core sports memory unlocked as the cardiac Bears come back from a huge second half deficit to knock off the hated Green Bay Packers…
more -
S7Ep25: Bears-Packers III.
Nerves are frayed and anxiety is rising. It must be Wild Card week and the reality of the Packers coming to town for a franchise-altering game is starting to hit Dan and Bill. It is almost time for Ben and Caleb to reshape the future of Chicago in their beautiful image and leave creepy Matt…
more -
S7Ep24: The Two Seed.
The Bears are the number two seed and will be hosting the Packers in the Wild Card round. We’ll preview that later this week but first let’s tie a bow around the magical regular season team that is the 2025-26 Chicago Bears.
-
S7Ep23: NFC North Champs.
The Bears are NFC North champions. We definitely did not see that one coming. After a fun loss (I guess that can be a thing) on Sunday night at San Fran, the Bears are one win away from clinching the two seed and setting up a rematch in the Wild Card round with Green Bay. Oh baby. Dan Doinks…
more -
S7Ep22: Iceman Caleb
Iceman Caleb with an overtime winner over Green Bay. The Bears have clinched a spot in the playoffs. The benjohnson era is off to the races and we are glad we are along for the ride.
-
S7Ep21: Expand The Lead.
Back atop the NFC North with a chance to expand the lead in front of a frothing national audience. Who has it better than Bears fans right now? Let's look ahead to a huge Saturday night tilt at Soldier versus the Packers and the path to a postseason berth.
-
S7Ep20: No time to waste.
A trip to Lambeau led to Chicago's first loss in forever and though it hurt, hope is just around the corner. Can the Bears bounce back against Cleveland and, with a little luck, retake the North lead going into a pre-Christmas rematch with the Packers? The boys break it down as only they can.
-
S7Ep19: Leading Entering December.
The top seed in the NFC is there for the taking and all that stands in the way is five winnable games for the red hot Chicago Bears. Defending champs? The Bears dominated them in their place on Black Friday in front of Kirk Herbstreit's dog. Now it's Packers week and the Bears visit a stadium…
more -
S7Ep18: On Eagles Wings.
Now that the Bears are fist-deep into their SECOND four game winning streak of 2025, it's time to project what it's going to take for them to see postseason action. With a Black Friday (can we say that?) win this week in Philly, the number one seed in the NFC will be in play. Just like everyone...
-
S7Ep17: The Bears Are Fun.
The Bears are officially fun because winning is fun and all the Bears know how to do is win. They have no flaws and now that it's late November and they've overtaken all rivals for the NFC North lead, things will never be the same again.
-
S7Ep16: Caleb.
The Bears are firmly in the playoff race in mid-November thanks to the leadership of benjohnson and his ascending & clutch QB Caleb Williams. Dan Doinks saw the drama unfold in front of him, with some intriguing and sensual VIP stories to share. The Bears are the new gold standard of the NFL.
-
S7Ep15: Offensive Relief.
What a wild win over Cincy as the Bears are now within a half game of the division lead entering Week 10. Benjohnson has the offense cooking and Caleb now has led four game-winning drives in the last six road games. The Giants come to town with the boys feeling really good about the Bears…
more -
S7Ep14: Fights.
Tensions run high on this episode. Dan is done waiting to see Caleb's full potential, maybe to a fault. Bill is on team patience, also maybe to a fault. A frisky Cincy squad looms, and hopefully Caleb and the Bears meet Dan's deadline. Plus tons more.
-
S7Ep13: Let's Make It 5.
That's now four in a row for the Bears and there's no end in sight for football prosperity. Dan and Bill were at the Saints game and survived the tailgate to tell the tale. Dan also has a tremendous Ravens preview as Chicago looks to make it five straight. Rick Feelsmen is back. A new Egg has…
more -
S7Ep12: Growing.
It's time for all Bears fans to follow the lead of benjohnson and grow a firmer spine because the Bears are not the same disappointing franchise that they've been for most of our lives. The sleeping giant is awake. Be afraid, everyone else, and be confident into the night, Bears Nation. We will...
-
S7Ep11: Return To DC.
After what feels like a month of no Bears football, our boys return to the field this upcoming Monday night in a place that brings back dark 2024 Matt Eberflus feelings - Washington, DC. No need to focus on the past, though, this is benjohnson's time to shine. Let's see him cook after a bye week....
-
S7Ep10: Bye Curious.
The Bears have turned the corner and there's no looking back. Benjohnson is quickly making the team in his own insane image and Caleb has the clutch gene that no Bears quarterback has ever possessed, at least in our lifetime. The Bears may be 2-2 but it feels like they're 17-0 because they might...
-
S7Ep9: Headache Abated.
Turns out the Bears don't have to be all the way back if they never left. Huge game this weekend in Las Vegas as benjohnson's red hot offense has clearly taken full flight. Will the Bears enter an early bye week at 2-2? For Dan's health, they better. Rick Feelsmen is on a hot streak himself,...
-
S7Ep8: We Fell For It Again.
Pretty dark times for Bears fans, as it appears our boys suck absolute eggs again. Will the famililar dumb face of Matt Eberflus on the opposing sideline be the cure for what ails the 2025 Bears? Is Donnell Wolford still available to play CB? It's time for benjohnson's offense to shine, hopefully...
-
S7Ep7: Moving On.
We are choosing to move forward, after briefly acknowledging another heart-wrenching defeat and a week's worth of new worries and questions, but remaining steadfast and positive. This is a new era, and we must take direction from our fearless leader benjohnson without hesitation. And we must…
more -
S7Ep6: Welcome Back, Bears
Thank god week one has arrived and we can watch the official arrival of the benjohnson era. What do the boys consider a successful season for the rookie coach and second-year QB in 2025? Is JJ McCarthy actually scary the more we learn about him? Who is the 3rd biggest celebrity to come out of...
-
S7Ep5: Breathe In, Breathe Out
The Ben Johnson Era is here and we are avoiding the noise that surrounds camp. Dan and one of his 14 daughters visits Bears practice but doesn't know what he's looking at, besides George McCaskey. Full disclosure: nearly the majority of this episode is dedicated to a new segment about being on…
more -
S7Ep4: 17-0 Run.
What does the Chicago Bears 2025 schedule release have in common with Dave Coulier in a movie theater? Find out on this episode of Zero Doinks as the boys tick through all 17 obvious wins, starting with Monday Night Football in Week 1 against JJ McCarthy and the Vikings. Thanks for listening, we...
-
S7Ep3: Ben and Ryan Listen to the Board.
After Ryan Poles spent the weekend listening to the board it is clear that Ben Johnson's first draft has his beautiful mitts all over it. We recall how we initially felt on Thursday with the Colston Loveland pick versus how we feel now after days of hot, intense research. So many new Bears to…
more -
S7Ep2: Offseason Champs Again.
Hang the banner, the Bears have won the 2025 offseason, there is no way this will fail. The offensive and defensive lines are shaping up beautifully, the draft is looming and Ben Johnson already has hall-of-fame influence in Halas Hall. The Bears are back? We discuss the roster additions to date...
-
S7Ep1: All The Way Back.
Zero Doinks is back for Season 7 and we have never been more full of life. So much has changed since S6 ended with the golden foot of Cairo Santos breaking the hearts of annoying Packers fans. The dream head coach candidate surprisingly said yes to Kevin Warren and the Bears braintrust. Ben...
-
S6Ep27: Season Finale. Packers Slump Over. Stop Being Nice.
An 11 game skid against Green Bay ended on Sunday and made us feel hope for the first time in months. Caleb is clearly the man, and now he needs a leader. Hopefully it’s Ben Johnson, if Chicago does not Bears it up. Our season finale awaits your ears.
-
S6Ep26: What Is Next (Again)?
Will the Bears losing streak end in 2024? We doubt it. Tonight we wrap up the 2024 version of Zero Doinks and will return after a new coach (and GM?) is hired. But there's a lot to get to, just maybe not a lot of it revolving around the Bears. We love you, we want your Christmas to be so merry…
more -
S6Ep25: Is This Our Fate?
Are we simply fated to a life of bad Bears football? Thomas Brown ended any hope of a dead coach bounce and now we have to suffer through one more month of one of the least enjoyable seasons ever. Let's get Caleb and Rome some sweet stats to close the year, at least.
-
S6Ep24: Flus Is Finally Fired. Kevin Is In Charge.
Eberflus has been fired and we never want to think about him again. We talk about what an idiot that guy was and where we'd like the Bears to look next, under the leadership (?) of the oft car-washing Kevin Warren. Dan has an obsession with bees and other winged things this episode. Will Thomas...
-
S6Ep23: Flus Fired Yet?
Thomas Brown and Caleb Williams. Should we keep this tandem together? Caleb looks unbelievable. Is Flus fired yet? He just keeps finding new ways to mess up, it's comicable at this point. Bears are inches away from getting a Top 10 pick next year. Six games to go. Join us, as we prepare for the...
-
S6Ep22: We Thought We Were Dead Inside.
We realize you probably don't want to think about the Bears right now but this ep is going to change your mind. As luck would have it, Dan and Bill magically discover they have a similar personal issue occurring right now, and they are about to go on a similar journey together. That is more...
-
S6Ep21: Shane Is Fired. Keep An Eye On Dan.
Three OCs in 11 games seems like something bad franchises do. Haven't we done this show before? Maybe twice? Shane Waldron was terrible but is there any doubt Green Bay is going to put the negative spotlight back on Flus and his horrible tenure? Just protect Caleb, FFS. And let's have some fun…
more -
S6Ep20: Rick Feelsmen Election Day Special
Rick Feelsmen took over Twitter Spaces on Election Day and his predictions for what's to come for America and the Chicago Bears are a must-listen. Plus maybe he'll slide in his three hot picks for this weekend? Special thanks to Elon Musk for his Spaces technology providing speaking guests an...
-
S6Ep19: Who cares, honestly
Welp, that Cardinals effort suggests the Flus has lost the locker room. The fan base already hated him but the Hail Mary probably sealed his fate and there's no real reason to keep him around anymore. The Illini football squad keeps kicking Bill Doinks in the noots. What are good teams? Can…
more -
S6Ep18: There Is No God.
Honestly, this episode might be the medicine you need after Sunday if you are a long-suffering Bears fan. Bill has been buried in familiar feelings of despair since Washington's Hail Mary landed and he's unsure if he's ready to talk about it. Can Dan (and/or Grover) cure him? Right on cue, Rick...
