All everybody, welcome in to Sports Talk Chicago. Great to see everybody here with us.

Of course, all of our great affiliates in Illinois and Indiana, WKAN, 1055, the ticket,

ACTV, cities 92.9, talk FM, WJOB and JetTB, Big Show, big program here tonight.

We're talking Bears, Cubs, White white socks, bulls, a new book.

We're going to get into that in just a second. Make sure you follow us all over at Sports Talk,

Chicago, and social media. Hit us up here on YouTube. We just passed 18,600 subscribers on the road

to 20,000. We'd really appreciate your help. John Meadows is directing and producing.

We have a huge guest hanging out here with us for the first couple of segments of this program.

He is a 40-plus year sports media veteran right here in Chicago.

Has a brand new bookout.

I have it here.

He sent me a copy early.

It's called Tell Me a Story I Don't Know.

Conversations with Chicago Sports Legends just came out yesterday, if I'm right, George.

And George often is our guest here on this program.

George, it is great to see you, my friend.

How are you?

I'm great.

It's a tremendous pleasure, John.

I was just thinking about this the other day because it's so unique to do this with someone like yourself because our age

difference is rather dramatic. If I'm not mistaken, you're 22 and I'm older.

23. You were close. So I gave you a year. The difference isn't that much, then.
