Podcast appearances and mentions of tim virgin

In what's become a favorite annual tradition, old friend/radio colleague Tim Virgin (94.7 WLS) and I meet up at Hellsgate (hellsgate.com) in Lockport for a trip through the haunt and a podcast conversation with creator/owner John LaFlamboy.   I say it a lot, and I mean it: HellsGate is the best of the haunts. I look forward to it every year, and it totally changes my mood for the better. It's SO MUCH FUN.   We get into the changes made to this year's experience, as well as the deep, thought-out, lore that drives John's storytelling. This is a complete creative vision.   If you're caught up in the spirit of the Halloween season, I can't recommend HellsGate any more strongly. In fact, I'll be back before Halloween and I hope to see you there.   Get tickets at hellsgate.com - Thursday-Sundays until the 22nd, then Wednesday through Sunday starting on the 23rd.   Also: check out daysofthelivingdead.com for behind-the-scenes footage from HellsGate!   ##   CCC is sponsored by Easy Automation.

Let me just get this out of the way: The annual opening of HellsGate is one of my most anticipated events of the year. The immersive, engaging haunt is world class, and I leave there smiling and giddy every year.   For this episode, I brought longtime friend/colleague Tim Virgin (94.7 WLS, Q101, WLUP, etc.) to experience HellsGate with me. After our journey, we were joined in the car by HellsGate founder/owner John LaFlamboy.   Tim and I share our thoughts and favorite moments from our visit, and John puts everything in context. We dig into the finer details of operating HellsGate, as well as the creative spirit that guides it.   HellsGate provides one of the most entertaining, memorable experiences you'll have this year. Make a point of getting there before it gets swallowed back into hell in November.  Car Con Carne is presented by Alex Ross Art.

I learned a lot about the cannabis industry and entrepreneurship from watching Car Con Carne guest host Tim Virgin interview Next Green Wave CMO Ryan Lange tonight. Totally interesting chat and worth a watch. Car Con Carne is sponsored by C&H Financial Services.

This week, it's a look back at some of Car Con Carne's best media guests. In this podcast (presented by Boost Mobile), I revisit great moments with: Matt Pinfield. The ex-MTV legend talks about music "guilty pleasures." WXRT DJ Johnny Mars. We talk about when I replaced Johnny at XRT, and a silly prank I pulled that ended up taking on a life at its own. Abe Kanan, Tim Virgin and Bass. Three of my most-frequent radio colleagues (and repeat guests, one and all) join me in conversation about the overreaction to celebrity deaths. Warning: NSFW words in this segment! Amy Guth. Media titan Amy Guth joins me for puns and talk about online harassment. 103.9 The Fox DJ/Boss Alex Quigley. My first guest on this incarnation of Car Carne! Mancow. What does Mancow see in his future? 101 WKQX midday host Lauren O'Neil. We talk about a concert memory of hers that ties directly into the present day. Sirott and Murciano. Chicago media's power couple join me for Cuban food and the harrowing story of how Marianne Murciano's family escaped Cuba!

This week, I'm joined by my very funny colleagues Abe Kanan (WLUP-FM, Abe Kanan on Hold), Tim Virgin (WLUP-FM) and Bass (WLS-AM). We ate at Chicago's famous home of the breaded steak sandwich, Ricobene's (252 W 26th St, Chicago, IL 60616). Abe and Bass are long-time customers; this was a first time for Tim and me. We start out by putting the opening of the podcast on Facebook Live. I somehow launch it with a lightning effect that I can't turn off. Long story short, lightning shot out of our eyes and sandwiches for the entire time we were on camera ("We look like superheroes; this is like our origin story"). Also covered on this show: How should one eat a Ricobene's steak sandwich? Abe: "By a sink, and you should be able to take your shirt off, too." The shady Ricobene's parking lot. As Bass said, "If you look to the left, you'll see my car's tires getting put on cinder blocks." Abe and Bass's incredible, built-on-timed-defecation, Fogo de Chao dining strategy My stage fright about going #2 in public Strategies for going #2 while at work Why does Abe have a gym membership? Bathroom access at all times. Abe's master strategy for sanitizing public toilets The work of art that is the Burger King Farmhouse sandwich "Cleaning the beef machine" We kill the Facebook stream about 15 minutes in, and keep going. The conversation gets even more entertaining from there... Tim's summary? "Best sandwich in the world" Thanksgiving recap: Ways turkey doesn't suck and how I saved the day with pumpkin pie The pros of owning a Weber kettle grill The day the fire trucks had to respond to an emergency at my house My love of foam parties Tim's recent surgery, and why it's a miracle that he could even think about eating at Ricobene's Abe: "Did you all take a Prilosec before we did this?" The maudlin mourning of celebrities on Facebook The extreme lack of interaction radio personalities (other than Tim Virgin) have with celebrities  "Rest in glory, my brother!" What's up with the dude walking by the car in army fatigues? Tim: "Everybody's safe, I got my CCW license last week." "What's the most f-ed up thing you ever ate?" A PUFFIN? The sex appeal of the Boost Mobile-branded Mazda 3 Why Abe and Bass dine like visitors to the "jerk-off booths" of old Our next destination as a foursome: Kaufman's in Skokie

I've known and adored fellow radio personality Tim Virgin for a very long time. For this week's show, Tim met me at Herm's Palace, a long-standing hot dog joint in Skokie. I had the Polish sausage with pastrami, he had the fried salami. Here's what you'll learn in this episode: Chest hair doesn't grow as fast as facial hair. Tim's dark stools match his dark heart. Tim is a one-man Audubon Society. Everything good in life causes problems. We chat about the career paths we should have taken, the authenticity of Tim's voice, Coachella vs. Bonnaroo and Tim's time working in the record business. We also talk a lot about music (shocker), including lengthy discussion of Phil Collins-led Genesis, GnR, Rush, Yes and Adam and the Ants. Other highlights: "Those shorts are falling down her hips!" "The one with the beard is clearly a bear."

Seraphina, Molly, and Ziggy are BACK to the podcasting world and ready to fill your ears with a ton of nonsensical bullshit. On this episode, we talk about the Phelps family, a radical group of religious bigots who plan on boycotting a 30 Seconds to Mars show the trio plans on attending. They also cover pathetic childhood stories, why Chicago has the best music scene, and how Q101 should endorse this podcast. (Just kidding) We also give a huge shout out to a few Chi-Town Peeps: Q101 Chicago's Alternative: http://www.q101.com/ Tim Virgin: http://twitter.com/timvirgin Abe Kanan and his amazing podcast folk: http://abeisawesome.com/ Ryan Manno: http://www.ryanmanno.com/ JBTV: http://www.jbtvonline.com/ We also mention Tyler Glenn from Neon Trees: http://twitter.com/tylerinacoma The Shout out Louds: http://www.shoutoutlouds.com/ Lights: http://www.iamlights.com/ The Gaslight Anthem: http://gaslightanthem.com/
