Welcome into episode 30 of the House of L podcast. I am Lawrence Holmes. I am the host of House of L. Welcome in.

I'm really looking forward to you hearing our guests this week. I had a really good time talking with George Offman about all sorts of stuff.

The old days of the score, how covering sports has changed. We'll get to that in a minute. I forgot I do this I keep doing this I keep

for getting the gift cards to Meli Cafe. So like I had to go over to NBC Sports Chicago and

drop off Kelly Crawls.

By the way, if you haven't heard the Kelly Crawl, if you like, oh, well, George is my guy and

I skipped over Kelly, go back and listen to it. The feedback that I've gotten from people inside the industry, outside the industry of Kelly telling her story, I thought was tremendous.

I had one person email me and say that the interview with Kelly was the best

House of L non-Goth division because obviously the Jason Golf interview is really, really incredible.

But thanks to Kelly for sharing and telling her truth, and thanks to NBC Sports Chicago for putting it up on the

website which is great anytime that I could advance the cause of this

podcast and more people get an opportunity to hear

to maybe didn't know that it existed.

I think that's wonderful.

So I thank my friend Kelly Kroll

for having an episode that's worthy of people trying to seek it out and hear what she had to say.

She got a gift card to Meli Cafe.

They sponsor the interview portion of the podcast.'s great I was there this past weekend

they got three locations they have in Greek town Jackson and Halstead they have

Granin Wells if you're up north a little bit and And I go to Congress in Dearborn.

That's where me and White Panther went on Saturday,

and I got the pork chop and grits.
