Expect more conversations like this with my friend Paul Coyte, in addition to the usual episodes of LIVE FROM MY OFFICE.
In polls and conversations, people say they are sick of politics. They say they're not just sick of Trump. They are tired of all of them, both Republicans and Democrats. So in each new episode a guest you will know joins me to talk about... ANYTHING... but politics. Please let me know what you think at thec...

TIME TO TURN THE PAGE
Richard Roeper had over 16,000 bylines at the Chicago Sun-Times. That's an incredible run! As a Southside kid, he has lived his dream by not just working at his hometown newspaper but by being one of its biggest stars.
Toss in the years with the legendary Roger Ebert and a hit radio career, and you just scratch the surface of a very cool life... so far.
On this new episode of LIVE FROM MY OFFICE we talk movi...

YOU ARE WORTH IT - YOU CAN BEAT THIS

SLAMMIN' SAMMY IS BACK
Last spring Sammy Sosa joined me for his first Chicago interview in years. This spring the CUBS have him back in the family.

One of my favorite funny people, Tim Cavanagh, is my guest.
We talk funny things. He sings. And we land on an innovation to ease your anxiety. It's the exact kind of escapism we all could use right now.
See Tim on 3/16 at Zanies in Rosemont and lighten up. You deserve it!

One of the last places you may think of for fixing corruption in politics... is Illinois.
Think again!
In a time where justice is something we can't count on anymore, a bad guy got his in a Chicago courtroom. Mike Madigan was the most powerful politician in Illinois for decades. He used that power to make himself rich.
Those crimes and his history with the best political reporter in America, Rick Pearson, and the great Pat Brady...
...of this interview. The last few minutes are as close as it gets to the siloed, narcissistic-sociopathic mind of OJ. It's impossible to explain all that went into getting an interview with OJ SIMPSON in the 90s. He was topic #1 for everyone, everyday, for years.
The most infamous man in the world joined me specifically because of my producer, (Steve) Grunwald, who worked for months to get the deal done. What was the deal? He...

As we head into the great unknown of the potential s*** show that is 2025, it seemed like a good time to put the band back together.
So Pat Brady and Eric Adelstein join me to talk about what is - and what might be - and where we might want to go to get away from all of it. Oh wait, that part was just in my head.
Biden, Trump, even the Mayor of Chicago make it into this episode. Hear it here on LIVE FROM MY OFFICE.

This is part two, of many, in a continuing effort to understand the terminology of politics and how it affects all of us. In other words we cut through the BS for you and you use your new knowledge to start to change a broken system.
On part one I previewed "recess appointments" (starts at 26:35 right after the break) which is another threat to go around the Constitution and do what you want from the White House....
We start the New Year with one of the funniest people ever... and I'm including all of history... court jesters, smart ass monks, and street prophets... Colin Mochrie! Sure, Colin's phone line was a little messed up during the conversation, but the show (and interview) are WORTH IT!
