This interview was recorded in November of 22. A lot has changed in our worlds in such a short time. This episode is dedicated to the loving memory of Christopher's father Joseph Zucchero truly a self made man who built a wonderful life for himself and his family. Christopher actually takes a call from him during this interview. This one is hard because it was before everything went sideways with Oliver's diagnosis and Christopher's father. It is a reminder that all we have is this moment. Love and peace to everyone. Call an estranged loved one or a friendship that ended over something stupid, life is short. 

Since the pandemic I have annually convinced my beautiful, hilarious, witty and intelligent partner in crime and passion to join me for a sort of state of holiday affairs. This year did not disappoint. Side note: I think I know what the eagle is for now! peace and love all!

Thank you for your generous contribution to the charity or cause of your conscience! May you continue to let it be your true north pole! Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Merry Kwanzaa, Winter solstice, fucking Tuesday afternoon whatever gets your heart pitter patter I wish you a merry and happy one! Peace on the earth good will to all!

I sat down and talked to my "technically" new buddy, but a kindred soul. Christopher Zucchero is a man who has sucked the marrow out of life. Musician and survivor of River North 1980's- 2000's (not many left standing!) He is also a co-owner of the world's famous, but more importantly Chicago Institution, the church known as  "Mr. Beef" along with his father. We spoke for 4 hours I could talk to this guy for 5 days! 

My guest wears many titles: Daughter, Sister, step-sister, wife, mother, cancer survivor, in recovery, marathon runner and so many more! Can't wait for you to meet a person I have known for so long I don't remember meeting them. 

Not unlike the Godfather Part 2 is where the real juicy drama lives, but you need part 1 for context. Such a great story teller and transparent guy! Eat at Mr Beef in Chicago, IL next time you're here and say hello to Christopher!
