Carson the Magnificent - Why Bill Zehme's Last Book is Worth the Wait Oct 21, 2024

David Letterman once said about Bill Zehme, "...he was also emblematic of that era when profile writers were often cooler than the people they were profiling. Whenever he interviewed me, I tried inhumanly hard to impress the guy..."
Bill was a good friend for most of the 30 years I've been in Chicago and Carson was foundational in our relationship. On this episode I talk with one of Bill's best friends, Mike Thomas, who worked with Bill for years. Mike has been a great writer at the Chicago Sun-Times forever and he's authored two terrific books of his own
When Bill died, Mike was the absolute best choice to finish this book
Of course we talk about Carson but we spend time detailing the run of the GOAT, Bill Zehme, as well
Get the book and share this new episode of LIVE FROM MY OFFICE

That's a polite way of simply saying IF YOU CARE about what happens to this country and your family, there are no excuses...VOTE! Thanks for listening!

MY WISH FOR YOU... ...is that you have a friend in your life like Paul Coyte

He is funny, kind, decent, and smart. He's also British...but if you get 4 out of 5 you're good. On this new episode we talk about a lot of stuff but the crazy thing is that I had a tech problem on my end that made me sound distant at best.

What I Believe -- Finding Your Megaphone on the Crisis Cast Jun 25, 2024

At my core I believe you can disagree without being a...jerk. The inability to do that is why we're in the political mess we're in today.

This episode of LFMO is a reposting of THE CRISIS CAST podcast that I was a guest on last week.

Their show is hosted by Thom Serafin and Lissa Druss, two of the best political/media voices in Chicago . The mind behind THE CRISIS CAST is the great Todd Manley who has been my colleague, boss, and close friend for over 30 years

We discussed politics and the end of my radio run among other things I think you'll like on this LIVE FROM MY OFFICE.

Another New Beginning Jun 11, 2024

It seems fitting that the one and only Robert Feder would be my guest on this new episode of LIVE FROM MY OFFICE .

We talked about the 100th anniversary of WLS and his stories of the stars on mic at The Big 89.
The timing is coincidental but having just done my last morning show there gives me an opportunity to share some words on that milestone as well.
So hear Feder on Lujack, Landecker and all your favorites and share this episode everywhere!

A Pep Rally For U.S. Jul 05, 2023

Everything doesn't have to be a fist fight.

Yet all we do is argue. The far right hates the left. The far left hates the right. This fight is pointless because neither side can win and America loses.
Coincidentally FALL OUT BOY just covered Billy Joel's classic, "We Didn't Start the Fire" and that inspired me to create my own list.

Mine isn't history. It's my list of things in America WE CAN agree on. Yes, it's a pep RALLY of things that are great about this nation. I don't sing it and none of it rhymes but that too is great for America.

Steve Cochran's Big European Vacation May 15, 2023

My trip to Europe was fascinating, moving, educational and more. We saw where the Battle of the Bulge and D-Day happened. We saw Paris from then and now.
It proved what we know. When cowards send young men to war both sides die. Civilians are killed. Property is destroyed. Lives are changed forever.

The good guys won. The world was saved. I'm very glad we saw where heroes of the greatest generation lived and died... for us! If you're able, I highly recommend you see what we saw.

Thanks for listening to some highlights from when I checked into my own radio show during the trip, and enjoy these pictures I posted across Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

A Priest and a Rabbi were eating together when the priest said, "Wow, this ham is delicious...I know it’s against your religion, but when are you going to break down and finally have some?”

The Rabbi smiled and said, “at your wedding!”
Father Tom Hurley spent 24 years at Old St. Pats and his passion, honesty, and sense of humor has made him extremely popular in Chicago and he's enjoying this new chapter at Marist High School.

Dr. Deborah Birx: Preventing the Next Pandemic Before It's Too Late Jan 09, 2023

ARE WE SMART ENOUGH TO LISTEN?

Dr. Deborah Birx has been unfairly dismissed for what I call "disinfectant day." That's when Trump suggested guzzling some Clorox to beat COVID.

Hear her here and get her book. You know she tells the truth because no one in it is bashing her anymore.

He's Glad He Was There Sep 09, 2021

Former Chicago Police Superintendent, Garry McCarthy, joined the NYC Police Department at age 22. He worked his way up to Deputy Commissioner of Operations and got to the World Trade Center as the 2nd plane hit the South Tower. He was there when the Towers collapsed and lost many friends, but in our conversation he explains why he's glad he was there. On this episode he tells a very compelling story of that day and remembers some of the heroic first responders on 9/11.
SHOW NOTES
The Feal Good Foundation is named for its founder, John Feal, a U.S. Army veteran and retired construction worker. John was called to lead a team of demolition experts work the pile at Ground Zero. A steel beam fell on his foot resulting in injuries, surgeries, and big medical bills. He was denied coverage again and again. His experience led him to start the FealGood Foundation to help all emergency personnel who are injured doing their jobs in all areas of their needs.
Jon Stewart fought alongside Feal to get financial help and get the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act passed and reauthorized and hammered Congress to act, telling a poorly attended hearing...
“It’s an embarrassment to the country and it is a stain on this institution. You should be ashamed of yourselves, for those that aren’t here, but you won’t be." He closed by saying, “They responded in five seconds. They did their jobs with courage, grace, tenacity, humility..
do yours.”
