This is my first solo podcast since George's passing. I called on a few fan favorites. Gary Pietrucha from Envirosafe Pest Management and a great friend to the show, Duncan Harris from the UK. Gary and Duncan contribute their thoughts about George and a few funny moments.

The Bears won and we just had to talk about it. It's our first BIG Snowfall heading our way. (we'll see, the weather forecasters seem to be wrong most of the time) Then we're joined by Kevin, a "World of Poker "tournament player to talk about cards, gambling and Governor Pritzker's $1.4 million dollar win in Las Vegas and a conspiracy right out of the headlines' concerning Michael Jordan. Finally, we wrap things up talking about Veteran's Day.

George recaps his Halloween; Ken's ear gets blocked and why do we push back the clock? Plus, a man lives for free on Lake Michigan, and the Museum of Broadcast Communications is back open. Ken has a headphone update and June Lockhart passes away. A Tesla driver has a run-in with the law, (literally). and finally, Air Traffic Controllers are not showing up to work due to the Government shutdown and George has a E-Bike legislation update.

This episode covers a lot of ground. The Uptown Theatre has been closed for 44 years; it's tuned 100 and is still waiting for repairs. Letters/comments, Daylight Savings time, Ken & George call the White House, Ken does a rant about Rude People, Sports betting is out of control, and the Highlight of this Episode is talking with George's 6-year-old Granddaughter. It's a good one so settle in and enjoy.

"The Pumpkin Lady," Theresa Miller visits with Ken & George to wrap up this growing season and find out what place she took in Illinois and some other fun things. Then they turn their attention to the upcoming Winter season and talk with Meteorologist, Jon Kratenstein to get his thoughts on how severe it will be. George reports on the #2 Pencil and Ken shares his appreciation for Moms.

This episode is a walk down memory lane. From the Great Chicago Fire to Vanished businesses no longer around, this one was a real treat for George & Ken. Pete Kastanes joins them to talk about his Facebook page "Vanished Chicago" then George ends the show with a recall from Toyota, but Ken tells him how they could avoid the recall by doing it the old-fashioned way.

Our special guest is BIGFOOT Race participant Tina Plueger. Tina shares with us her preparation, determination and commitment to finishing this grueling 4-day, 200-mile trek through the Cascade Mountains in Washington. Why Bad Bunny is a bad choice for the Superbowl Half-Time show. Burning leaves, Chicago construction, Stupid criminal stories and a tribute to Jane Goodall round pout this podcast. Enjoy!

Gary drops by from Envirosafe to talk about getting your home ready for the Fall/Winter keeping pests and bugs out. He then tells an amazing story about his father (Ed Pietrucha) while serving in the Army Air Corp. during WWII. Sister Jean at Loyola University finally retires at 103. George finds a "Big Boy." Fast Food prices are just ridiculous, E-Bike rider killed... we need legislatio
