The best of nearly 100 interviews in “Tell me a story I don't know” is really a personal choice. I've featured so many guests in best of 9 seasons but in this finale I thought it might be worthy to have you listen to some thought provoking, funny and poignant moments. And not the least of them came from two people who left us. Dave Wills, the ever popular voice of the Tampa Rays and a Chicago native died last March of a heart ailment. He was only 58.Alan Schwartz was 91 but full of vim and vigor. He was once president of the United States Tennis Association and builder of Mid Town tennis in 1970 and for nearly 50 years, the largest indoor facility in the U.S. Schwartz died in December of 2022, just three days after we had our semi annual lunch. I was crushed when I learned of both of their passings.The best of also includes an almost hard to believe story from Los Angeles Dodgers play by play voice Charlie Steiner how history repeated itself. Cheryl Ray Stout, long time reporter and trailblazer here in Chicago recounted how she broke the story of Michael Jordan leaving basketball for baseball and then, returning to the Bulls!Cubs radio voice Ron Coomer remembered as a child how he refused to trade baseball gloves with a future hall of famer and how could I not include Brent Musburger, my inspiration back when I was a 14 year old entertaining thoughts of getting into the business. After spending a half century plying my trade, I thanked him publicly. It was all worth it.“Tell me a story I don't know" is sponsored by Mr. Duct and “Tell me a story I don't know: conversations with Chicago sports legends” is now available on Amazon Books and at chicago area book stores.It's been a great run of "Tell me story I don't know" with a special two part podcast coming up!

EPISODE 147: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:42) SPECIAL COMMENT: Donald Trump is this close to declaring himself God. His announcement to his ever-grieved angry real-victim-here Cult of Karens -- "I AM YOUR RETRIBUTION" illustrates that even his eight-year long terrorist attack on this country had at least one more level to go. Trump has now imbued the 2024 GOP race with vengeance and vendetta. And a vote for Trump in 2024 is a vote for retribution and vengeance - and bloodshed. And thanks to a failed actor who looks disturbingly like the cartoon character "Quagmire" from "Family Guy," Michael Knowles, we now know the first targets of Trump's mob. "Transgenderism must be eradicated from public life, entirely." While Knowles tries the fascist trick of saying he never said transgender PEOPLE must be eradicated, most people have missed the key word in that hateful utterance. It's not "eradicated" it's "entirely," and it renders Knowles's hairsplitting meaningless. B-Block (16:45) IN SPORTS: One of the best of baseball's announcers, Dave Wills of the Tampa Bay Rays, has died suddenly, and the sport is grieving. (23:13) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: The Russian prime minister gets laughed at, a Florida Republican does something so dumb Newt Gingrich slams him, and Mr. Non-Opinion Journalism at Fox "News," Bret Baier, turns out to be just as bad as the rest of them. C-Block (30:48) EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY: Brothers Brooklyn and Butter (31:49) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: One minute I was ruminating on the unappreciated beauty of the Hudson River as seen from a commuter train. The next they were prying me loose from the window I had become frozen to.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
