I listened to the previous podcast with, what's his name?

One with Byron?

Yeah, it was good.

Yeah, thank you.

I was very hungover, and I woke up like 15 minutes before recording and I actually wore shades on the call

because of how bad I looked but we'd be getting some good reviews for that so I'm glad that came

Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, we could talk about it if you want, but I don't think for me it's not necessarily

So. Yeah, I agree. And I mean, I guess we'll get into it because we're here with our Chicago

correspondent, Jana, also our Bronx correspondent. So we'll talk about, you know, we talked about

Brandon Johnson last week as like a possible look into Zoran's future, where he'd become mayor.

But we'll also talk about the big beautiful bill and the ongoing ice terror raining down across

the country and how that's come to Chicago, if at all.

But maybe before that, we can just catch up a bit with Jana.

You had a little summer trip last month, right?
