  • Joanna Klonsky--Creep Report
    Jul 28 2025

    Another day, another story links Trump to Epstein. Ben riffs. Joanna Klonsky talks creeps in politics.. Trump being the face of this type. And Bill Clinton. Speaking of which--why do Dems still suck up to Clinton? And why didn't Merrick Garland release the Epstein files? What is the playbook pols follow to divert attention from their misbehavior? What does Mayor Rahm mean when he tells Megyn Kelly he will be the "strong man" America needs? There's so much to talk about, we don't get to WNBA players making their move to get paid more. Next time. Joanna is a political and communications strategist.

  • Oh, What A Week!--Batter Up
    Jul 25 2025

    Ben & Dr D cruise all over the place as they survey a week's worth of news. Including...Cleveland, where Mayor Johnson meets with other mayors. And Springfield, where Governor Pritzker runs for president and governor. And Kerry Wood Field, where aldermen play police in softball. And CTA trains, where Mayor Johnson tries to crack down on smoking. And MAGAland, where Megyn Kelly records her show. And a Chicago landfill, or wherever Mayor Rahm buried the Laquan McDonald video. And Kumbaya, a song Mayor Rahm swears he does not know. Though he also swears he never saw the Laquan McDonald video before he buried it. And the Sky bandwagon, which Ben jumped aboard, after he saw them get clobbered the other night. Proving that Ben will support any Chicago team, especially if it's losing.

  • Mueze Bawany--Grocery Politics
    Jul 24 2025

    Zohran Mamdani plans to build a grocery store in a food desert--mainstreamers lose their minds. Ben riffs. Mueze Bawany returns! And promptly compares Mayor Johnson to the Z-man. And explains why he's going to New York City to campaign for Mamdani. Also, he tries to convince Ben to give millennials a break--even if they no nothing about the parking meter deal. What's the worst sports deal in Chicago history and what's the worst political deal in Chicago. Why Chicagoans love bad mayors. And why Mueze is optimistic about the Bears. Mueze is a school teacher, a coach and an activist.
