In this bonus episode of Motive, we bring you some excerpts from a special project we created. After a years-long investigation into prisons, we wanted to make something that wasn't just about people in prison, but also for them. In August of this year we collaborated with radio stations across Illinois to create a broadcast that was heard in prisons statewide. We played sounds incarcerated people requested to hear from the other side of the prison wall, and dedications for sounds that family members thought would be important to their loved ones. People requested simple sounds from the outside world, like babies laughing, rain on a tin roof, the waves of Lake Michigan. We also played people's music requests and even an original song, “Bring It Back”, created by some students of the Rebirth of Sound program, inside Stateville Correctional Center in Joliet, Illinois.

The first Dairy Queen store may not have opened in Kankakee County, but their famous soft serve was first taste tested by the public here. On August 4th, 1938, Sherb Noble had an all you can eat sale for this new innovative frozen treat for only ten cents at his ice cream parlor on West Avenue in Kankakee. The sale was a huge success and sold over sixteen hundred servings in just ninety minutes. By 1940, Sherb opened the first Dairy Queen store in Joliet, IL and eventually opened several locations in Kankakee County. Today, the Noble Family still owns and operates nine Dairy Queen stores, five in Kankakee County and four in Kane County. Joe Rintelman, who married into the Noble Family, now oversees the operations of the stores and carries on the tradition. Joe was kind enough to join me on this episode of Kankakee Podcast to walk us through the iconic history of Sherb Noble and DQ. I'd like to sincerely thank Joe and the entire Noble Family for signing on as one of our first sponsors of Kankakee Podcast. It's a great honor to be supported by one of the most historic families in Kankakee County.  Learn more at http://noblestores.com/ Much Love, Jake LaMore P.S.

Preaching for the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Elisabeth Roman offers a reflection on Mary's model of discipleship: "But it is Mary who truly inspires us to go forward in faith; to say yes to God each and every day, as we care for those suffering still from the COVID 19 pandemic, for those mourning the losses of family members; to care for the sick, the poor, and the elderly. And the migrants who come seeking new life and bring with them their families, faith, and love of God." Since 2014, Elisabeth Román has served as the president of the National Catholic Council for Hispanic Ministry, a national organization of Catholic organizations established in 1991 to promote Hispanic ministry through advocacy, education, networking and leadership development. She is the former director of the Office of Hispanic and Ethnic Ministries in the Diocese of Joliet. She has years of experience serving in ministry in the Archdiocese of Chicago, including working with the Archdiocesan V Encuentro Process, and as Managing Editor of the Hispanic Ministry Resource Center with Claretian Publications. Elisabeth collaborates and works with national Hispanic ministry leaders and organizations on projects and programs targeted towards Latinos and diversity in the Catholic church. Most recently she was the national chair of the Raices y Alas National Catholic Leadership Congress held in April 2022 in Washington DC, which gathered over 400 Catholic leaders from the US, Latin America, Europe, and the Vatican.

Episode 48 is live from the new home of Lion Electric Vehicles at Clarius Park Joliet. We are joined by Michael Connor from JLL and Clarius Partners' Eric Johnson to hear about JLL's involvement with Building I and the development and leasing of the 906,517 sq. ft. manufacturing facility.   This location will become Lion Electric's first manufacturing facility in the US and a showcase for consumers. Lion Electric was attracted to Joliet for its robust logistics industry, labor force and the Illinois Climate Change Policy which aligns well with the electric vehicle market. When the project started, the team knew it would have a big economic impact due to the amount of power and parking needed to support the plant. There was a tremendous amount of effort to take a speculative shell building and adapt it for producing zero emission vehicles.  Hear how the team pivoted in the middle of construction to add in over 100,000 square feet of office space, cranes, paint booths and reconfigured loading docks in our latest episode.

After American comedian and actor Andy Dісk would make a name for himself on a series of cult-classic 90s television series like “The Ben Stiller Show” and “NewsRadio”, he'd be heralded as “the most talented, gutsy, and truly strange comic of his generation” by Time Magazine. But then came the turn as a series of outlandish controversies would see him spiral out of control on his path toward becoming one of the most disliked individuals in Hollywood. But long before that switch-flipped, Andy Dісk was born in Charleston, South Carolina on December 21st, 1965. His actual birth name was Andrew Thomlinson, but he was adopted by his parents, Allen and Sue Dісk who then passed on their last name. During his childhood, Andy got to see a whole bunch of the world thanks to the fact that his father served as a commander of a nuclear submarine in the United States Navy. Andy's family lived in seven different places, including Yugoslavia, before moving to Joliet, Illinois in 1982 when he was 17 years old.

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Dr Heather Brown. The Director and President of Behind The Line, Inc., Dr. Brown holds a Bachelor of Social Work from Salisbury University, her Master of Science from Capella University, and completed her Ph.D. in Forensic Psychology at Walden University. She is certified to teach both Critical Incident Stress Management and Mental Health First Aid, and she helps instruct cadets in the mental health unit at the Eastern Shore Criminal Justice Academy. We'll discuss her 2022 dissertation: The Role of Child and Adult Sexual Fantasies and Criminal Paraphilia Involving Serial Sexual Murderers. Gus found her report after speaking with Bishop Tony Caldwell about the missing black females in Missouri. Bishop Caldwell referenced previous serial murders in the area, including Robert Berdella. Dr. Brown's report features Berdella, Seattle's Gary Ridgeway and a number of other White rapists and serial killers. She makes a point of the fact that most of the serial sexual killers are White Men. We discuss what it is about White Culture that produces this pattern of White Male behavior. We re-visit the concept of necrophilia (including the Joliet, Illinois case from 2013, where White teens had sex on the corpses of two black males.) Dr. Heather Brown also became the second White person to tell C.O.W.S. listeners that White people are more informed about White Supremacy/Racism (with a table spoon of inappropriate laughter). #WhatDoesItMeanToBeWhite #TheCOWS13 INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#

Penn National Gaming had been the leading regional gaming company for at least the past decade, but in the last few years, it has embraced an omnichannel approach to the business. Jay Snowden, the president and CEO, has taken an aggressive stance in positioning the company for growth in the digital field without taking his eyes off the land-based casinos. He spoke with GGB Publisher Roger Gros at G2E in Las Vegas in October. (For complete podcast listen to the audio above or view the video at the bottom of this article). GGB: A lot of things have changed since we've seen each other. The first is the name of the company. Why did you do that? Jay Snowden: We changed it for several reasons. We've evolved so much as a company over the course of the last three or four years. We were predominantly a regional gaming company, and we spun off all of our real estate in 2013 and 2014. So what we've been really focused on is evolution into more of an entertainment company. We are now owner of two of the best sports media brands in North America, with Barstool Sports and theScore. We also now are operating in 14 states as an online sports betting operator, and a handful from an online casino perspective. So we felt like National Gaming Inc., didn't really describe who we are anymore, and we felt “entertainment” was broadly more appropriate for us. And so the name change made a lot of sense, and it really speaks to not just the company we've become, but I think importantly where we're going as a company. Tell us why buying Barstool and theScore made sense for the company. That's something that we knew we needed to do as a company, because regional gaming in and of itself isn't high growth. And we consider ourselves a growth company. We felt like once PASPA was overturned in May 2018, that opened the door for us to really think differently about the company going digital, and to really focus on an omnichannel strategy because we have structural advantages. We own the brands that you mentioned. Those aren't joint ventures. We're not just investors. And we also own our brick-and-mortar assets and those licenses. So we can get customers, whether it's through online sports betting or a casino visit or online gaming, or really loyal followers of our sports media assets and brands and the content behind those brands, bring them into the ecosystem and then introduce them to all of the other offerings that we have and do cross sale. That's why I feel strongly that any business sector you look at, if you don't have a very compelling digital and/or omnichannel strategy, you're facing extinction in the relatively near future. So we needed to pivot, we've pivoted, we've embraced it, and here we go! You recently announced expansions of some of your properties on the land-based side. What was that all about? It's another part of our strategy for growth. And you have to remember that even though a lot of the focus for the industry over the last couple of years has been on digital and online sports betting, at the core of our omnichannel strategy are our brick-and-mortar casinos. They generate most of the revenue and a tremendous amount of cash flow for the company. We've got best-in-class assets in most of the markets where we operate, but there are a few that aren't best in class, and we've been wanting to address that. Two of the ones that are best in class just needed more hotel capacity. In the case of M Resort here in Las Vegas, we have 390 rooms today. We've been busting out of our seams for the last several years. So we announced that we're going to build another hotel about the same size—375 rooms. We're also adding a hotel in Columbus—200 rooms and about a $100 million investment. We've been needing a hotel there since day one. We'll break ground at the end of 2023. That one's probably a 12 month-to-15-month build. In Illinois, two of our assets aren't best in class and really have become less competitive over time. They're just dated riverboat barges, one in Aurora and the other in Joliet. In Joliet, we're going to actually move our license about five or six miles away to a new development, a mixed-use development, since we no longer have to be on the water. It's right off of two major interstates. And then the last one, which is the largest investment, is a $360 million relocation of our Aurora riverboats. And similarly, we're moving that one seven miles away right off of Interstate 88. The beauty of that project is that one, it's right off the interstate, but two, it's right next to a Simon Premium Outlet Mall that already attracts 7 million or 8 million people a year. Are you making these changes in Illinois because of the casinos that have been approved in the northern part of the state? We consider the moves to be both offensive and defensive. You can sit back and do nothing. You can sit on your hands and you can continue to lose market share and revenue. And that's not a compelling business strategy from my perspective. This is not just, “Hey, the riverboat barges are old, we need to build something new, but build 'em at the same location.” This is a brand-new build at more favorable locations. And so, even though there's new supply coming into Illinois, we believe this will make us a lot more competitive in Joliet and in Aurora.

It's that time of year! Car Con Carne hit the road to visit the The Old Joliet Haunted Prison  (401 Woodruff Rd, Joliet, IL 60432). Sharing in the spooktacular with me were James Farber and Patrick McDermott of local band James The Boneless . We talked about our experiences walking through the attractions at the Old Joliet Prison, and dove into James's story of heroin addiction and recovery. It's harrowing stuff, and we're lucky and grateful he came out on the other side. Also: while we were talking in the car, the haunted house came to us. It was insane (in the best possible way).

You know, whenever the discussion of the roughest, toughest prisons comes up, there are several names that come to everyone's mind…Alcatraz, Sing Sing, Leavenworth, Joliet, and of course San Quentin.Opened in 1852, San Quentin State Prison in California is one of those violent prisons that has become part of our national culture.  A prison that currently houses more than 3300 inmates (700 of those in the prison's Condemned Unit), San Quentin has been immortalized in movies, TV, literature, and even a Johnny Cash song.  My guest today is Ron, who spent a career working at San Quentin State Prison and he is here today to tell us his story.Behind San Quentin's Walls: The History of California's Legendary Prison and Its Inmates, 1851-1900Trejo: My Life of Crime, Redemption, and HollywoodSmart Passive Income PodcastWeekly interviews, strategy, and advice for building your online business the smart way.Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify Support the show

It was the best of haunts, it was the worst of haunts. Actually, it's bedtime, cuz the Ghouls are wiped TF out from a weekend of pure terror and suspense. On the pod this week, Grace and Caroline recount all the horror, ghosts and jump scares they witnessed during their back-to-back trips to two infamous Chicagoland Halloween destinations: The Old Joliet Haunted Prison and HellsGate. They also interview a duo of incredible haunt actors about the craziest reactions they've seen on the job, talk though the (literal) torture that guests of XXX-treme haunted houses like McKamey Manor and Heretic Horror House go through, and swap disturbing stories about why fake hanging stunts are the absolute worst idea. Sponsored by noted bicon/vintage hottie Marlon Brando and his extensive collection of self-made erotica, this episode will take you to Joliet and back (twice).    Do you have a topic suggestion for an upcoming episode or a scary story to share with the Ghouls?

dUg Pinnick is known first and foremost as the soulful singer and bassist for hard rockers King's X. Born in Joliet, IL, Pinnick discovered rock & roll through such greats as Sly and the Family Stone, Jimi Hendrix, and Led Zeppelin, while he borrowed from gospel for his singing style. When a gig backing up Christian guitarist Phil Keaggy broke up in the early '80s, Pinnick formed a new band with fellow ex-Keaggy member Jerry Gaskill (drums) and guitarist Ty Tabor. It would take several years of playing covers in bars throughout the South before the new band would click musically and eventually settle on a name: King's X. Signing to Megaforce/Atlantic in 1987, the trio became a favorite with the metal and progressive rock crowd; their music also contained elements of alternative in their hard rock, long before it became en vogue during the '90s. Pinnick is one of the few bassists of hard rock who uses a 12-string bass regularly, which is a major ingredient to the magical King's X sound. dUg sat down with Mistress Carrie to talk about the new Kings-X album, his musical upbringing, songwriting process, the bass, his inspiration, and so much more!
