Podcasts about Windy City

Doing more does not scale your business. It stalls it. Diluted focus gets you diluted results, and the owners who grow fastest are usually the ones doing fewer things, not more. In this episode of Service Business Mastery, Tersh Blissett and Josh Crouch sit down with Josh Zolin, CEO of Windy City Equipment Service and author of Blue is the New White, on how one simple shift, a single company wide focus every 90 days, took the guesswork out of hitting his goals. Josh breaks down how he points his entire company, from himself to the parts runner, at one goal each quarter, why focusing on less feels scarier than it should, how your role as the owner keeps changing as you scale, and the leadership habit that quietly runs off your best technicians. If you run a home service business and you are busy all day but not moving the way you want, this conversation is the reset.

The music business has had ups and downs for Houston native Sam Morrow. He's bounced around geographically and within his own sound through a decade or more and a half dozen studio albums. But his recent return to his home state of Texas, reconnecting with an old flame who is now his wife, and his clarity on what he wants to do musically produced a dandy of a Southern rock offering called Southern Boogie. Morrow joined us on Roots Music Rambler to dig into the changes in latitude and attitude that produced the record, his journey from Texas to L.A. to Nashville and back, and how life is different now with all the changes.  Morrow has migrated from country to singer-songwriter to Southern rock throughout his career, but with Boogie, his sixth studio album, he seems to be where he should be – making bangers about life and love, all while bringing out his own spin on the sound of a Texas rocker. Frank and Falls also catch up on Frank's experience at American Music Fest at Chicago's heralded music venue Fitzgeralds, and some fun live music plans for Falls' July trip to the Windy City. (Spoiler: Lucia's plans with her dad fell through and she got to see Lucy Dacus with the RMR crew and family!) Frank and Falls also have their normal pickin' the grinnin' choices for music recommendations this week. Frank raved about Les Greene and the Swayzees, who performed at American Music Fest. Falls pointed folks to an Otis Gibbs documentary featuring the late Todd Snyder, who reminisced about one of his mentors, John Prine, before Snyder passed away last year. The film is called A Love Letter to Handsome John.  Find the picks on Spotify and YouTube.

About The Dented Puck Podcast & Foundation The premier blind hockey podcast and member of The Hockey Podcast Network, hosted by Team USA Blind Hockey veterans. The show highlights athletes, leadership, and adaptive sports stories while supporting the Dented Puck Foundation's mission to break down financial barriers for visually impaired and youth hockey players. What is Blind Hockey? Blind Hockey is played by athletes with visual impairments ranging from legally blind (20/200 vision or less) to totally blind, classified under International Blind Sports Federation (IBSA) standards. While following core IIHF hockey rules, key adaptations keep the game safe and competitive: The Adapted Steel Puck: Made of hollow 22-gauge steel filled with 8 ball bearings, measuring 5.5 inches across. It rattles loudly and moves slower on the ice, but frequently dents upon impact—giving the podcast its name. 3-Foot Nets: Nets are modified to 3 feet high (instead of standard 4 feet) to keep shots low where goalies can track sound. The Clean Pass Rule: Teams must make one completed pass in the attacking zone before shooting on net. Referees blow a distinct secondary whistle to signal when a team is eligible to score. Player Positioning: All goalies are B1 (totally blind or blindfolded). Athletes with greater functional vision (B3/B4) typically play forward, while lower-vision players (B1/B2) play defense. Safety Protocols: Features no body checking, no-touch icing, strict crease violation calls, and mandatory full face guards. Support The Dented Puck & The Growth of Blind Hockey!

The boys are back with a Chicago deep-dish-sized recap of their week in the Windy City, complete with all the toppings. There's golf course debauchery, glizzies, expired liquor, OVERSIZED liquor, Michelin star gluttony, and more. Oddly enough, all of that is nearly eclipsed when Ace-J exposes the boys to the BIBO Cinematic Universe. We're not saying the Iceman is planning to trade in his Tesla for a lowrider... but we're not NOT saying that either. Speaking of movies, if you thought a little trip to the Midway would keep the boys from seeing the biggest movie on earth, you'd be sorely mistaken. And if you're among the eight people who haven't seen Spider-Man Brand New Day, consider this your warning: THERE WILL BE SPOILERS... possibly even a few tears shed. That's right, give it up... and have a listen, carnal.

This week we continue our deep dive into Night Demon's fall 2024 tour supporting King Diamond and Overkill in North America. On November 7, 2024, the tour rolled into the great city of Chicago for a performance at the legendary, beautiful, historic Chicago Theatre. Although the venue was amazing, the day was not without challenges. You will hear about the impact of union hall restrictions on the band's setup and soundcheck, the travails of a seated show and the band's reaction to same, as well as Laura's most embarrassing moment of the entire tour. But you will also hear how Night Demon prevailed and conquered, with extensive audio clips from the gig and overall sentiments of gratitude and joy to be performing in the Windy City at such an exceptional location.Become a subscriber today at nightdemon.net/subscriber.

In episode 204, Gen and Jette freak out over mushrooms and T. Kingfisher's What Moves the Dead, book 1 in the Sworn Soldier series.Please send Jette all recos for anything fungi-related- books, cute things, forests to run to.

Michael Bruntz and Brian Christopherson of Husker247 are back from the Windy City and Nebraska's stay at Big Ten Media Days. The start of fall camp is still a few days off, but the guys break down what they learned on both sides of the ball from Matt Rhule and the Husker players, including storylines that are going to dominate fall camp. Listen in.

Ursula Bielski grew up in a haunted house on Chicago's north side. At an early age she became a believer in paranormal experiences, from the curse of the Chicago Cubs at nearby Wrigley Field to the hauntings at local Graceland Cemetery by a 19th century ghost girl. Underscoring these neighborhood folk tales were accounts by her police officer father of personal encounters with Big Foot and no less than the Devil himself.  Bielski .Intrigued by the apparent relationship between folklore and paranormal experience, Bielski eventually turned her interests toward her hometown, penning her acclaimed and widely successful book, Chicago Haunts: Ghostlore of the Windy City and several other. She now lectures regularly on the subject, having emerged as an expert on Chicago's spiritual netherworld.

AJ returns from the Big D with a harsh lesson about living that truck life. The Iceman has big time donut beef (if that's even a thing). The boys plot their summer time misadventures in the Windy City before turning their collective attention to the Avengers Doomsday trailer. Speaking of the MCU, the guys are still all in on X-Men '97, as they navigate all the chaos of season 2 thus far (to include what sounds like a Wakandan Apocalypse). They close the show with a flurry, tackling the WSOP's return to ESPN, the World Cup's exit, the NBA's complete upheaval, and Will Farrell's plan to take over R&B music.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and RJ Abeytia are back in studio talking about head coach Lincoln Riley, quarterback Jayden Maiava and defensive linemen Jide Abasiri and Alex VanSumeren representing USC at Big Ten Media Days in Chicago. Both of our hosts had planned on being at the Chicago Hilton, but after 9 hours of delays at LAX their flight was cancelled and they were denied the opportunity to attend the event in person (and partake in deep-dish pizza in the Windy City).The guys talk about what Riley had to say including the tremendous momentum the team has built up over the off-season and the future of the Notre Dame Game. The players talked about a variety of topics including the impact new defensive coordinator Gary Patterson has made during his time on campus.Both Ryan and RJ continue their countdown of the most important Trojans for the 2026 season, starting where they left off at No. 7 with the aforementioned Jide Abasiri. They also discuss the newly released fall camp schedule with a couple of opportunities for the media to observe full practices and tour the brand new Bloom Center.Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!Make sure you check out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠USCFootball.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for complete coverage of this USC Trojan football team.

Sarah is back from the Windy City, and boy are her arms tired. Susie's whole body is tired because she had to lead a cat rescue operation. We discuss the Bang My Box documentary about Robin Byrd's New York cable access show in the 80s, and how she was a gay icon and advocate, but got spooked by the internet. We learn why Burning Man was in distress over Covid, why white people love the festival, and why we wish there was a Burning Man for nerds. We hear about a fella who cut off his member and set his neighbor's house on fire. We learn why there are far more shellfish now than there used to be. And we get a shocking update about the mountain climber who left his girlfriend in the Alps to die of hypothermia, and what happened when he was tried for negligent murder.00:00 - Sarah's Windy City Adventures and Toy Story 5 Review06:26 - Susie's Wild Cat Rescue and Pet Parenthood14:56 - Exploring the Provocative 'Bang My Box' Documentary22:11 - Sarah's Glowing Review of OneSkin Skincare24:03 - Unpacking Burning Man's Allure and Controversies33:53 - Thanking Donors and Lottery Pool Last Call35:54 - Unbelievable Headline: Penis, Garage, and Fire39:17 - Octopus and Squid Now Classified as Shellfish43:19 - The Tragic Alpine Death and Climber's Trial01:01:50 - Supporting the Show and Joining the Candy Brain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:For up to 65% off your order, head to https://veracityhealth.co and use code BRAINCANDYGet 15% off OneSkin with the code BRAINCANDY at https://www.oneskin.co/BRAINCANDY #oneskinpodTDM-RESERVATION: 1.

Every collector has a story—and sometimes the most expensive education comes from experience.

Is Chicago Really One of the Greatest Cities in America?In this episode of Rodes Live Podcast, Rodes steps into the conversation and passionately pleads the case for why Chicago deserves to be recognized as one of the greatest cities in the world.Too often, the city is defined by headlines and stereotypes, but there's so much more to the Windy City than what makes the evening news. Rodes breaks down five reasons why Chicago continues to stand tall among America's greatest cities, highlighting its rich culture, resilient people, legendary food, iconic architecture, deep sports tradition, music, history, and unmatched influence on Hip-Hop and urban culture.Whether you're a lifelong Chicagoan, a former resident, or someone who's never visited, this episode challenges listeners to look beyond the misconceptions and appreciate what truly makes Chicago special.In This Episode:Why Chicago's culture is second to noneFive reasons Chicago belongs among America's greatest citiesSeparating myths from realityThe city's influence on music, sports, food, and entertainmentWhy hometown pride still matters

The Chicago Bulls suddenly have a real rotation problem — and that is a good thing.On today's Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down why Patrick Williams, Rob Dillingham, Dailyn Swain, Leonard Miller, and Noa Essengue may all have legitimate NBA talent, but not all of them are guaranteed regular minutes under Tiago Splitter.With projected starters Josh Giddey, Norman Powell, Matas Buzelis, Caleb Wilson, and Nic Claxton, plus established bench candidates like Tre Jones, Isaac Okoro, Jalen Smith, and Zach Collins, the Bulls may only have one or two dependable rotation spots left unless Splitter consistently plays 11 deep.Haize explains why the battle will be decided by specific utility, not draft position, contract size, or theoretical upside. Patrick Williams must become a dependable 3-and-D forward. Rob Dillingham has to prove his shot creation outweighs his defensive concerns. Dailyn Swain needs to win minutes through defense, rebounding, and connective play. Leonard Miller must turn activity into a repeatable role. Noa Essengue likely needs Windy City reps before becoming a true rotation option.Plus, Haize reacts to Bill Simmons comparing Caleb Wilson to Tracy McGrady after Wilson's monster Summer League run, and why Bulls fans should be excited while still keeping expectations grounded. Wilson averaged 23.5 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.2 steals, and 2.5 blocks while shooting 50% from the field and 41.9% from three.Also: Tre Jones gets called a Bulls hidden gem, and Haize explains why his steady playmaking, efficiency, and $8 million salary could matter more than fans realize.

It's game day as the 5-1 Edmonton Elks head into Regina to take on the 4-1 Saskatchewan Roughriders in a clash for first place in the West Division! Oilers Debate — The Big Point Surge: Looking ahead to the upcoming NHL season, which Edmonton Oiler do you project to have the highest point increase compared to last year? Is it a breakout campaign for one of the young guys, or a massive bounce-back year for a veteran? Trev and Gager break down their top candidates and open the text line up for the Nasties! Grilling Gager — Former NHL Goalie Q&A: YouTube Trev takes advantage of having an ex-NHL netminder at the desk! Trev picks Joaquin's brain about the mental grind of the crease, crazy locker room unwritten rules, and what it was really like facing the league's top snipers. Huge news dropped across the hockey world this morning: Patrick Kane is heading back to the Windy City on a two-year, $16M deal! The boys debate his legacy: Is 88 the greatest Blackhawk of all time? And what do they think of that massive $8M AAV payday?   2 Guys & a Goalie is presented by GS Construction!

Marti Webb, Gemma Craven, and Diane Langton--do you know them? Here's your chance: my favorite West End musical heroines of the 1970/80s, singing from The Good Companions, Trelawny, Windy City and, yeah, a couple of other shows you've actually heard of. . . 

Brian Baldinger continues to go division-by-division, team-by-team, to see what each franchises' gameplan should be heading into this season. Today, it's the NFC North that sees teams now trying to catch up to the Windy City.

Is mass incarceration the result of an accidental, top-down policy oversight, or is it driven by targeted, bottom-up racial warfare on the ground? In this episode, we sit down with scholar and author Andrew Baer to discuss his critical historical text, Beyond the Usual Beating: The Jon Burge Police Torture Scandal and Social Movements for Police Accountability in Chicago. We dismantle the safe academic myths of "colorblindness" to expose how street-level white foot soldiers in Chicago actively deployed explicit anti-Black racial terror completely independent of Washington policy directives. We interrogate the literal, physical machinery used in Area 2 and Area 3 precincts—including cattle prods and hand-cranked field telephone boxes—to systematically extract false confessions from over 118 Black males. We also examine the deep-seated institutional protection and complicity of high-level local judicial and political figures, including Cook County State's Attorney Richard M. Daley, who willfully hid evidence of torture to maintain a mass conviction pipeline. Finally, we anchor the brutal, state-sanctioned genital and testicular mutilation of Black males directly to Dr. Frances Cress Welsing's theory of "White Genetic Annihilation" and population control. Tune in for an unfiltered, urgent interrogation of the System of White Supremacy in the Windy City. #TheCOWS17Years #GenitalMutilation #BeyondTheUsualBeating #JonBurge #CounterRacism #WhiteSupremacyExposed #CressTheory #WhiteGeneticAnnihilation INVEST in The COWS – [http://paypal.me/TheCOWS](http://paypal.me/TheCOWS) Cash App: [https://cash.app/$TheCOWS](https://cash.app/$TheCOWS)

This week on Time on Screen, Zach Kazan and Kat Shoulders explore High Fidelity, the cult hit starring John Cusack as a lovelorn record store owner from 2000. Why High Fidelity? Two reasons. First, it's set in Chicago, and ahead of our Windup Watch Fair in the Windy City, we wanted to check out a Chicago set film. Second, this movie is truly about an entire enthusiast culture. There are more than a few similarities between the music obsessives in this film and watch enthusiasts we all experience on a daily basis. It's impossible to watch High Fidelity as a watch person and not think about the person in your collecting circle who most reminds you of Jack Black's character.  We hope to see you in Chicago in just a matter of days for Windup! Let us know in the comments what other Chicago set movies we could have considered, and if you can think of other films about niche enthusiast communities.   To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast on all major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and more.

Fifty-six travelers met in the Windy City to visit some of the subjects we've covered over the years: Bertha Palmer, Frances Glessner Lee, Anne Frank, Georgia O'Keeffe, Jane Addams, and so many more. We took a good look at our favorite history hub - the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition, got up close and personal with Tiffany glass, stayed in opulent splendor at the Palmer House, and ate our weight in Chicago dogs and deep dish pizza. We've learned a lot, and made memories we'll never forget, but the most important thing the city gave us was the friends we made along the way. Learn more about your ad choices.

St. Louis is officially entering swamp-ass season, and the gang is here to issue the only weather alert that really matters.This episode starts with a brutal heat wave rolling into the Midwest, bringing temperatures that feel like Mother Nature accidentally left the city inside a crockpot. The crew breaks down heat indexes, survival tips, football practices from the prehistoric era, and why today's kids apparently have it way too easy compared to drinking from a PVC pipe water fountain during August two-a-days.Then things take a sharp detour into one of the most important cultural discussions of our time: why does Southern Illinois pronounce perfectly normal words in completely insane ways? Cairo becomes "Caro." Vienna becomes "Vienna." Geography teachers everywhere are filing complaints. The gang relives high school rivalries, homecoming disasters, football memories, and the strange world of Little Egypt. If you've ever wondered how many towns can mispronounce themselves simultaneously, this episode has answers.But wait... it gets weirder.A listener asks for help settling a family feud after a Chicago relative claims the Windy City has a better food scene than St. Louis. That's when the gloves come off. The crew debates toasted ravioli, BBQ, hot salami, Balkan Treat Box, The Hill, farm-to-table restaurants, and whether any visitor has ever actually had a life-changing toasted ravioli experience. The result is a passionate defense of St. Louis food culture mixed with enough food recommendations to make you immediately abandon whatever salad you were planning to eat.Meanwhile, a local trampoline park's "67 Day" celebration turns into absolute mayhem after hundreds of unsupervised kids show up, fights break out, businesses shut down, and one 12-year-old arrives carrying a butcher knife because apparently social media has become a terrible life coach. The gang tries to make sense of the chaos while collectively wondering why nobody can have nice things anymore.Also in today's chaos:• The growing war against e-bikes in St. Louis suburbs• Why golf carts are secretly becoming suburban transportation devices• Childhood dirt bikes and mini-bike jealousy• Fish markets in Tokyo that permanently ruin seafood for everyone else• Survival knives, brass knuckles, and growing up in a very different era• National Earl Day and the tragic decline of the name Earl• The universal truth that every city thinks its food is better than yoursIt's another completely normal episode of your favorite daily comedy show, where weather forecasts become comedy bits, food debates become personal attacks, and local news somehow spirals into stories about fish, football, and survival gear.If you're looking for a daily comedy show packed with ridiculous conversations, local flavor, hilarious stories, and the kind of arguments only lifelong friends can have, welcome home.This daily comedy show proudly delivers another dose of chaos from St. Louis to wherever you're listening.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Naturally, everyone immediately starts spending money they don't have and debating how they'd transform the town into the ultimate roadside attraction.Then things take a hard left turn when former NFL superstar Ricky Williams enters the conversation. After walking away from football at the height of his career, he's now a professional astrologer helping people navigate life through birth charts and cosmic scouting reports. Rafe is fascinated. Lern is fully on board. Rizz remains approximately 97% skeptical. Somehow this leads to discussions about crystals, sweat lodges, life coaching, and whether astrology is just football strategy for people who own moon-shaped candles.Meanwhile, AI continues its quest to make everyone uncomfortable. A new study says musicians are using artificial intelligence more than ever, sparking debates about creativity, ownership, songwriting, and whether your next favorite hit was written by a computer that learned emotions from Reddit comments. Moon weighs in from the musician perspective while the crew wonders how much AI is already hiding behind the curtain.Elsewhere in today's chaos:• Sharon and Jack Osbourne explain their plans for an AI-powered Ozzy legacy project.• Bon Jovi wants fans to sing "Livin' on a Prayer" and possibly appear in a future show.• New music from Billy Idol and Anthrax gets the crew talking.• Bowen Yang reveals why he almost left SNL.• Romy and Michelle are making a comeback because apparently nostalgia is undefeated.• Celebrities who believe in aliens somehow become a full-blown conversation.• And yes, there are hot takes on Dippin' Dots, because no topic is too important or too ridiculous for this show.It's another beautifully unhinged installment of your favorite daily comedy show, packed with weird news, pop culture commentary, celebrity stories, conspiracy-adjacent nonsense, and the kind of conversations that somehow make perfect sense before 10 a.m.Whether you're here for funny stories, celebrity gossip, UFO believers, or the possibility of becoming the new ruler of Hell, Michigan, this daily comedy show delivers exactly the kind of chaos you've come to expect.Today's episode starts exactly how you'd expect from a group of professional broadcasters... by arguing over cartoon dwarves and immediately proving why the game is called Matchup With The Morons.The crew jumps into a surprisingly intense round of trivia featuring Moon, King Scott, Rafe, and Learn, where confidence levels are high and actual knowledge levels vary dramatically. One wrong dwarf answer sparks a chain reaction of chaos that somehow leads to discussions about Indiana Jones, giant lizards, world rivers, and whether anyone actually knows where French fries came from.Things get even stranger when the gang learns about a man who has eaten more than 34,000 Big Macs in his lifetime. That's not a typo. That's a lifestyle choice. The crew tries to guess the Guinness World Record total and discovers that some people collect baseball cards while others collect burger receipts for five decades.Meanwhile, Rafe and Learn square off in a battle that becomes unexpectedly competitive thanks to classic rock knowledge, superhero trivia, and one question about collective nouns that nearly sends everyone into a full-scale grammatical civil war. Is it a knot of toads? An army of toads? A conference of toads? Nobody leaves this episode feeling smarter.The music trivia alone is worth the ride. The crew debates Led Zeppelin, The Yardbirds, Paul McCartney, and enough rock history to make your dad text the family group chat. Add in random movie facts, Titanic budget discussions, and the usual barrage of sarcastic commentary, and you've got another perfectly ridiculous day with The Rizzuto Show.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.

The Giants took two of three from the Cubs over the weekend, but it should have been a sweep. After clobbering seven homeruns in an 18-3 drubbing of the Cubs in game one, they traded extra-inning wins in the 10th. The second game was painful, as PCA hit the game-tying homer with two outs in the ninth. The Giants offense has exploded over the last 30 days, a stretch where they are the best in the majors for batting average, runs per game, doubles, OPS, and slugging, and second in homeruns. Almost comically, their walk rate still ranked at the bottom of the league. So, why did they have a losing month with such prodigious numbers? Well, many runs and hits were concentrated across just three games, and their pitching took a dive, being at or near the bottom in every statistical category. We'll be back in two weeks!@torturecastwww.torturecast.comfacebook.com/torturecast

It has become the perfect baseball storm in Chicago these days. You have the feel-good, upstart White Sox, and the top-of-the-heap, big fish Cubs vying for attention in the Windy City. Matt Spiegel of 104.3 the Score in Chicago joins Bradfo to offer the perfect insight into what exactly is unfolding in this two-team city. There is also some opinions thrown around regarding the Pete Crow-Armstrong run-in, and Alex Bregman's early-season existence.

On this episode of the NHRA Insider Podcast powered by Speedmaster, Chicago winners Matt Smith and Chad Green join the show to talk about how they navigated the track, the wind, and the competition to victory.    For Matt Smith, it was a harrowing experience picking up a second consecutive win on the NHRA tour. The crosswinds tested his bravery and ability on the drag strip. He goes in-depth about what they did to navigate it, his close call, and the final round that didn't go the way anyone expected it to.     Chad Green is having a career season in Funny Car. For the first time he has multiple wins in the same campaign and he has done it twice in six races. Green talks about pedaling around Ron Capps, the consistency of his people, new sponsors, and the team that he calls the best of his career.    This is a great episode with two chats that define two very different winning experiences!

On this edition, we go to the Windy City, and it was windy , and we ride around a little bit and walk around a little bit and do a little bit of discovery. A cool neighborhood, Wicker Park, and just discovery of things that are cool in the midst of my May adventures.
