How did "Grotes" end up switching from Cubs to Bears? Did you know he was a Stand-Up Comedian, cause I didn't...Mark is very open with his struggles with alcohol and how it's affected his career and private life. This episode is some really powerful stuff mixed in with a ton of laughs.

One of the most interesting origin stories that I've ever encountered. Jori Parys is a sports anchor in Shreveport, Louisiana, but she grew up in Chicago. From singing the National Anthem in front of thousands--to winning a championship in the Lingerie Football League. We talked about the challenges for young broadcasters making a home in a smaller market.

Laura Okmin dropped some knowledge about sideline reporting at the highest level (Fox TV, Westwood One Radio) and how hanging on to that job as an older woman, is really tough.
