About the Lovable Reunion Podcast
The Lovable Reunion podcast was launched to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Cubs' 2016 World Series championship — the title that snapped a 108-year drought. Former Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo and catcher David Ross host the show, interviewing former teammates about the stories and memories from that legendary season.
The podcast has featured appearances from Kris Bryant, Joe Maddon, Jake Arrieta, Jon Lester, Kyle Schwarber, John Lackey, and many more. Episodes regularly run over two hours as guests share unfiltered behind-the-scenes stories — from Rizzo's naked Rocky-inspired rain delay speech to teammates reminiscing about clubhouse pranks and their mutual hatred of the Cardinals. Rizzo has called it a "passion project," noting there is "a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff that was eye-opening even for me and Rossy."
Now, for the first time, the podcast is going live on stage at The Chicago Theatre — and you can be there.
Why Fans Are Searching for Lovable Reunion Podcast Tickets
This is not just a podcast taping — it is a full-blown reunion of the men who ended the longest championship drought in North American professional sports. The 2016 Cubs captivated the sports world by coming back from a 3-1 deficit against Cleveland in the World Series, winning a legendary Game 7 that featured dramatic home runs, a rain delay that changed momentum, and a final out that brought 108 years of heartbreak to a joyful end.
No two live shows are ever the same. The chemistry between Rizzo and Ross is electric, the stories are unfiltered, and the crowd energy takes the experience to a completely different level. Whether you are looking for premium seating close to the stage, budget-friendly balcony options, or last-minute availability, GoTickets helps you shop with confidence.
Meet the 2016 Cubs Who Will Be There
The heart and soul of the 2016 Cubs lineup and a three-time All-Star over 10 seasons in Chicago. Rizzo was the emotional leader of the clubhouse, famous for his legendary rain delay speech during Game 7 that rallied the team to finish the job. Now retired and working as an MLB studio analyst for NBC.
The beloved "Grandpa Rossy" played his final season in 2016 and delivered a Game 7 home run that will live forever. The veteran glue that held the pitching staff and clubhouse together, Ross went on to manage the Cubs from 2020 to 2023 and now serves as an analyst for ESPN.
The eccentric, brilliant skipper who fostered a loose, fun clubhouse culture that allowed the young Cubs roster to play without fear. His unconventional postseason decisions are still debated and discussed on the podcast to this day.
The 2015 NL Cy Young Award winner and one of the most dominant pitchers in baseball during the Cubs' championship window. On the podcast, Arrieta has discussed the wild 2015 Wild Card game, coming back from down 3-1 against Cleveland, and how the 2015 season set the stage for the championship.
"The Professor" led the National League in ERA in 2016 and started Game 7 of the World Series. His cerebral, pinpoint approach on the mound and his gutsy performance in the biggest game of the year will never be forgotten.
Montero delivered one of the most clutch hits of the 2016 postseason — a go-ahead grand slam in the NLCS against the Dodgers that swung the series in the Cubs' favor.
The man who set the tone. Fowler's leadoff home run in Game 7 of the World Series gave the Cubs an early jolt of energy and belief. His decision to re-sign with the Cubs before the season — after initially agreeing to a deal with Baltimore — was one of the pivotal moments of the entire championship story.
