The magic that kept the Chicago Bears alive amidst many moments of potential death ran out in a snowy and cold day in the Windy City. Patrick was at the game, Rob was on his couch, but both of them are shockingly optimistic about what this loss says about the future. Plus, Patrick documented his adventures to Soldier Field. You'll hear that before Rob and Patrick chat about where to place blame, where future excitement lies, and we also make fun of Aaron Rodgers.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Cal-Lab Association Meeting in Chicago Feb 19-20 https://cal-lab.org/ LMT Lab Day Chicago Feb 19-21 https://lmtmag.com/lmtlabday Almost three years after his last appearance, Rob Nazzal returns to Voices From the Bench, this time joined by Mike Alessio of Bonadent Dental Laboratory (https://bonadent.com/). The conversation dives deep into lab leadership, culture, transparency, and how data—when used the right way—can empower teams instead of policing them. Mike shares his 32-year journey with Bonadent, from starting as a pickup-and-delivery driver to leading the Danaren division, and explains how a family-owned lab has grown into a multi-location organization without losing its people-first culture. Rob and Mike unpack the realities of tracking productivity on the lab floor, the challenges of sharing metrics openly, and why transparency builds trust, alignment, and accountability when done with intention. The discussion shifts to quality vs. productivity, the difficulty of truly measuring “quality,” and why labs must lead with craftsmanship before numbers. They also explore how digital workflows, QC processes, and proactive communication with doctors impact remakes, efficiency, and relationships. On the sales side, Rob breaks down how icortica (https://www.icortica.com/voices) helps labs grow by focusing on existing customers, improving retention, and giving sales teams real-time insights into what conversations they should be having—right before they walk into an office. Mike and Elvis share firsthand experiences using icortica (https://www.icortica.com/voices), highlighting how real-time data, centralized notes, and smart alerts change the way sales reps prepare, prioritize, and perform. The episode wraps with a look at Bonadent's unique culture (including their famous converted Walmart lab), long employee tenure, and why investing in people, transparency, and the right technology is the real key to sustainable growth in today's dental lab landscape. If you want to grow your business, you need clear insight into what's happening inside your operation and across your customer journey. That's where Icortica comes in.

When the Chicago Cubs acquired Edward Cabrera from the Miami Marlins, many were left wondering if there would be another big move left in their arsenal. That question was answered over the weekend when they agreed to a deal to bring three-time All-Star Alex Bregman to the Windy City.On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman talk about the Cubs' five-year, $175 million deal with the former Houston Astros and Boston Red Sox star to help solidify their lineup and continue their stellar offseason. Could this be the move that helps get Chicago back to the top of the NL Central for the first time since 2020?Later, Jordan and Jake examine how badly it appears the Red Sox messed up in their negotiations with Alex Bregman, considering they traded away Rafael Devers during the season and are now left with neither All-Star on their squad. Then the guys get into how real of a possibility it is that Bo Bichette joins the Philadelphia Phillies, as well as a new addition to Team USA's World Baseball Classic roster.1:29 – The Opener: Bregman to Cubs26:19 – Scott Boras Scoreboard update34:41 – The Red Sox badly messed up49:21 – Red Sox front office response59:41 – Bo Bichette and the Phillies?1:09:04 – New addition to Team USA Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

Ever felt the tug to make something you can't find on the shelf? We sit down with attorney and mom-creator Courtney Cohen, whose Florida-to-Chicago journey led her to build a joyful Jewish lifestyle brand from a single sticker into a growing catalog of hats, tees, totes, and more. The throughline is Jewish joy—captured in weekly challah, kids who treat stickers like art supplies, and designs that turn bagels and Yiddish into everyday style.Courtney walks us through her unconventional path: eight years in PR, a leap to law, then the itch to create fun, modern Judaica, Da Shayna Punims, that isn't only for holidays or display cases. She shares how starting without a formal business plan forced fast learning, why bringing embroidery and printing in-house changed quality and timelines, and how she prototypes obsessively—auditioning fonts, testing placements, and refining until the piece feels right. We talk candidly about marketing in the age of algorithms, from TikTok's vibrant Jewish corners to the bizarre reality of bots dropping geopolitics into soup videos, and why focusing on real community beats chasing viral spikes.The conversation widens into representation and culture: the promise and pitfalls of Hanukkah movies, choosing Jewish actors for Jewish stories, and the simple rituals that anchor identity when the world feels loud. Courtney's big dream? Thoughtful expansion—dishware with a Kate Spade vibe, espresso cups with bagel wit, and traveling to markets like Jewish Joy Con to meet the people who wear and gift her work. Along the way, you'll hear lightning-round favorites, from beloved Yiddish words to the holiday that makes everything feel cozy.If you care about creative entrepreneurship, Jewish small business, and the craft behind products that make daily life brighter, this one's for you.

Today on the virtual bench we visit with longtime thermal enthusiast, friend, and SaunaTimes contributor Kev who takes us through the public bathhouses in and around Chicago for this Sauna Circuit. As you'll hear in this episode, Kev is no stranger to the saunas, banyas, and bathhouses in his hometown. What's cool about Chicago is that the banya culture is well developed.. and also quite historic thanks to aptly entitled Chicago Bathhouse, a traditional bathhouse at 1914 W. Division Street in the Wicker Park neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois, which has operated since 1906. Formerly Red Square, this Russian-style bathhouse has been in operation since 1906. Featured in a 2016 SaunaTimes blog post here. And layered on top of that, you'll hear about the Asian inspired King Spa, the deep heavy heat offered at Chicago Sweatlodge, the new Kiln floating sauna – a dream come true right there floating on Lake Michigan at Navy Pier, and a Kev fan favorite the Sauna Club, where its affirmed that "we can solve for heat, but sometimes solving for the cold is more of a challenge." And in this case, the time to leave the hot room is when the idea of a fresh cold lake plunge in Lake Michigan, just steps away, is about the best idea you've ever heard. And each Sauna Circuit includes a few gems and "adjacencies." These are special places shared with you by Kev, the Chicago Sauna Scout. These adjacencies are in the spirit of "people like us do things like this." For example, the Navy Pier and Lakefront Path give Chicago visitors a real flavor of the city, and also a chance to get some exercise before round one. And there's some extra special restaurants to check out – each conveniently adjacent to a Chicago bathhouse, like Smoke Daddy BBQ, Lou Malnattis Pizza, and SuperDawg Drive-In, just to name a few. So, whether you live in Chicago, or thinking of heading to Chicago for a vacation, or on the march to the Windy City for work or a trade show, this Sauna Circuit is right here for you. To access, simply go to SaunaTimes.com, click on the Sauna Circuit map, and then the Chicago Sauna Circuit.. and from there, you're well on your way. Let's visit with Kev, and bring you along to the Chicago Sauna Circuit.

Season 4, Episode 32This week on With Bowl and Spoon, Shelly talks with Marcus Wyatt of Windy Bridges Brew about how a love of beer, community, and learning led him to start brewing his own. Marcus shares how growing up in Chicago and now calling Pittsburgh home inspired the name Windy Bridges, bringing together the Windy City and the City of Bridges. His brewing story began at an after-work happy hour where he was introduced to IPAs, followed by meeting a coworker who brewed mead, which sparked Marcus's curiosity. His first homebrew was an imperial IPA that “wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either” which was enough to keep him brewing.Marcus talks about learning the craft through a homebrew kit, working and learning at Inner Groove Brewing, connecting with Day Bracey and the Barrel & Flow community, taking part in Point Park's brewing program, and earning his Level 1 Cicerone certification. Now, he's putting all of that learning into practice in his two-car garage brewery, supported and encouraged by other brewers along the way and backed fully by his family, including his daughter running social media.Food and culture are central to Marcus's brewing vision, with soul food influences like banana pudding, and sweet potato shaping the flavors he's excited to explore. You won't find Windy Bridges Brew out in the wild just yet, but batches are brewing, tastings are happening, and conversations are underway about getting beer on tap and in cans. Follow @windybridgesbrew on socials, and keep an ear out... there are whispers of exciting things ahead.Photo credit for this episode: Lucy Schaly

Today, I attempt to understand Dandy's World, a sentence I never thought I'd say out loud, and immediately regret every life choice that led me to that moment. While the kids confidently explain it like it's common knowledge, the rest of us are left staring into the void, wondering when cartoons started feeling like a group chat we weren't invited to. Meanwhile, adults across America have reached a rare moment of unity, agreeing that cash is not only an acceptable holiday gift—but the safest one. Because at this point, it's easier to hand someone an envelope than pretend we know what they're into, what size they are, or whether Dandy is a character, a lifestyle, or a legally binding contract.In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Thursday, he's letting Jesus take the wheel. Timothy Cardinal Dolan's 16-year tenure as Archbishop of New York came to an end, with a bishop from Pope Leo XIV's native Windy City set to assume the holy throne.New York is set to become the latest state to legalize medically assisted suicide for the terminally ill under a deal reached between the governor and state legislative leaders announced.And in Washington, President Trump delivered a politically charged speech carried live in prime time on network television, seeking to pin the blame for economic challenges on Democrats while announcing he is sending a $1,776 bonus check to U.S. troops for Christmas.

The second to last installment in our "Shadow Ticket" series is currently only available to subscribers in its entirety. Join the PPM Patreon today:patreon.com/ParaPowerMappingAlso, heads up - because of increasing automated censorship and flagging, I can no longer use music breaks on Spot°fy. To hear eps as originally intended, please listen on the Patreon or Substack.We're picking back up our brief, alternative history of American class violence, the anticommunist apparatus, and anti-syndicalist dynamite false flags, much wider spread than even I would have realized, this time honing in on a number of rhyming, causal & effective deep events rippling down the welded wrought iron links of the anchor chain of history, largely Chicago and Milwaukee concentric sagas of strike action and counterinsurgent reactions by the capitalist powers that be.File today's episode under: the Haymarket Affair; the Bay View Massacre at the North Chicago Rolling Mills steel foundry that left at least seven Polish, German, and Native workers dead the day following the bloodbath in the Windy City; the 8 Hour Work Day movement; the Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions (FOTLU), precursor to AFL; the snake Samuel Gompers; Milwaukee Central Labor Union socialist Paul Grottkau; Catholic Church Knights of Labor's Robert Shilling; Gov. Rusk; "shoot to kill" orders; Cpt. Treaumer muttering "halt" orders under his breath; the N. Chi Rolling Mills into Illinois Steel Company and then rolled up into US Steel come J.P. Morgan's Carnegie and otherwise monopolistic consolidation; Kosciusko Militia; FOTLU and Gomper's feud with the Knights of Labor; the labor significance of the phrase "amalgamated" (formed of individual craft unions) and what this says about ST protagonist Hicks McTaggart's work as strikebreaking PI for UNamalgamated Ops; Pynchon gets real Hobsbawmian, Gramscian, and Adamic-ian with it; "Haymarket FRAME-UP job"; explicitly references Bay View and Rolling Mills; Debs Rebellion; Pullman Strike; Henry Clay Frick nearly merc-ed by Berkman; the Gov. Steunenberg dynamiting; Big Bill Haywood's framing close shave; James McParland; Harry Orchard's confessions under duress; Pinkerton's; more US Steel; Mine Owners Association; Clarence Darrow; WFM; Wobblies; the McNamara Affair, the LA Times Building Bombing, and brothers J.J. and J.B.; surprise guilty pleas kneecapping the Job Harriman socialist mayoral candidacy in LA; spies catch Darrow bribing jurors?; Propaganda of the Deed comes to Milwaukee... or maybe not; the Italian Evangelical Church; ex-Catholic priest Rev. August Giuliani, MPD and BOI/DOJ informant; rabble rousing in the Third Ward, singing jingoistic songs, proselytizing to Catholics (which they didn't take kindly to from an apostate priest cum Protestant), and offering to pay for any anti-war anarchists or leftists of varying stripes' return tickets to the boot of Italy, all painting a picture of the gadfly pastor acting on behalf of federal law enforcement and local business interests with his troublemaking in the Ward; faced down by anarchists like Maria Nardini; the Bay View Riots, multiple Italian immigrant residents of Cream City killed by officers of the law with false flag violence (Antonio Fornasier and August Marinelli killed in the fray); the Milwaukee Station House Bombing of 1917; the comedy of errors; single deadliest day for law enforcement in American history up until 9/11; the curious lag in MPD response to the bomb's arrival at Giuliani's church; the claim the IMOPIO or infernal machine was anarchist made being sourced from BOI agent Julius Brown and possibly a Milwaukee congressman by way of MPD Capt. John T. Sullivan; the Galleanisti, followers of anarcho-communist Deed-Propagandist and advocate of various nitroglycerin and lead means for affecting change, squarely in the crosshairs; and much much more, breadcrumb trails we'll resume tracing next time.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Chicago has its fair share of legends — but some stories never made it onto the postcards. Long-time investigator Tony Szabelski has walked the alleys, theaters, and hotel hallways where the city's ghosts still linger. And few places hold as much residual fear as the Iroquois Theater, where a single night of chaos left spirits with nowhere left to run. Then there's the Congress Plaza Hotel — a place so charged with unexplained activity that even seasoned investigators refuse to wander certain floors alone. In this conversation, Tony doesn't just recount history; he brings you into the echo of it — the footsteps that shouldn't exist, the whispers that travel down century-old corridors, and the sense that in Chicago, tragedy doesn't just fade… it settles in. If you've ever wondered what truly haunts the Windy City after dark, this is the doorway.

Over the summer we checked in with LA Taco's Javier Cabral about the scary ICE raids  in L.A. and their terrifying effect on the food community there. But the situation in Chicago is in many ways equally dire. ICE raids as part of Trump's Operation Midway Blitz have terrified Latino neighborhoods in Chicago. Street vendors are scared to set up shop and many restaurants find themselves with many empty tables that were previously filled. Here to keep us up to speed about what's happening in the Windy City is the Chicago Tribune's Zareen Syed and Marcos Carbajal, the second generation Mexican-American owner of Carnitas Uruapan.

Nationwide, state and local officials are pushing back against President Trump's plans to send the National Guard into various Democratic-run cities for crime and immigration enforcement support. One of the top Democrats leading the resistance is Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker.  Trump has recently said that he believes Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson should be arrested for what he believes is mismanagement of the Windy City. “Should we have a president who is threatening to jail his political opponents with no evidence of any wrongdoing, just that we oppose what he's trying to do to our country, which is to militarize our cities and turn us into an authoritarian regime?” Pritzker says. “I don't think that any American thinks that we ought to be jailing people just for their views.” In this week's episode of The Conversation, Pritzker joins POLITICO's Dasha Burns to denounce the Trump administration's immigration enforcement strategy, combat the administration's narratives surrounding cities like Chicago, and discuss the future of the Democratic Party. Plus, Fox News Senior White House Correspondent Jacqui Heinrich comes on to talk about the difference between covering the Trump and Biden administrations, her role on the White House Correspondents Association board and the Pentagon's attempts to impose new restrictions on reporters there.
