They both talk about small towns; truck stops and reminisce about "Big Boy" restaurants. Plus, why are gas prices so expensive around the Holiday? Is the Cicada invasion really here? A Charlotte update and a lousy call in a recent White Sox game. BONUS!!! George and Ken play Anthems and keep talking after the show is over.

Episode #110 Rick Odell (repeat)

Enjoy this repeat Podcast from August 2025 when Rick Odell former WNUA "Sunday Morning Brunch" host stopped by. His story from the beginning to leaving MeTV FM radio as the Music Programmer. It's well worth hearing again.

Episode #109** Mother's Day (repeat from 2025)

Since I am still unable to produce new podcasts, I thought it would be nice to rerun a blast from the past with George. Mother's Day is this week, so I chose Episode #68 from 2025 which was our Mother's Day show. George resurrects his old Scooter... we have a new Pope; Ken talks about Mother's Day while George gives us some history on the day, Airbnb nightmare and the Pope is signing what??? Finally, George's wife, Mary is getting ready for and art show.

Episode #108 The Flood

Have you ever had a flood in your basement? I have and now my daughter just joined the club. With the massive rain we received a week ago her basement flooded and caused a lot of damage. We were told a few episodes ago by our meteorologist Jon Kratenstein that it was going to be a wet Spring. Then Frank sent an article to me about Pilots deliberately making "Hard' landings on purpose. So, we tapped into our Aviation expert Tom Peterson to get his view on this. Finally, "Pet Peeves." We all have them...

Episode #107 Dis & Dat

Frank makes German Food for my mom, our weatherman, Jon Kratenstein stops by to talk about our Spring weather, tornados and what to expect. You won't believe some goofy Chicago Laws that are still on the books today. Plus, Frank shares his failed grammar school experiment. We also play some classic & funny audio clips of Mayor Richard J. Daley from the 70's.
