Dave Barry is one of the funniest people in all of history and he's back on the podcast. We talk Christmas gifts and his new memoir...then I almost talk him out of writing the memoir. That's what friends are for! 

He's older than me, looks about 20 years younger than me, and yet I'm still thrilled he's on the podcast!

It's been two weeks since the election and I need to say two things.

1) I was wrong about the winner

2) I'm not wrong about what I believe

In this first episode of LIVE FROM MY OFFICE since Trump was elected, again, I tackle the truths of where we are and what's ahead. Also included is a new feature called THERE ARE NO STUPID QUESTIONS and we tackle recess appointments  because we all need to know. I also talked about the insanity of Trump's Cabinet nominations and we recorded this a few minutes before news broke about one of the clowns... So clearly this episode has something for everyone!

BYE MATT

With the election just a few days away, I wanted to spend a little more time encouraging you to go vote. This episode is in two parts, with the first being me going through a list of what should disqualify Donald Trump from ever being President again.

The second part of this episode is a full interview I did with my son I for a special episode of his podcast, Encounter Faith. See the show notes for more information about his show, and resources for your vote.

Days before this massive election it's two of my favorite voices in politics on this new episode of LIVE FROM MY OFFICE. The Democrat is Bridget Gainer. The Republican is Pat Brady

David Letterman once said about Bill Zehme, "...he was also emblematic of that era when profile writers were often cooler than the people they were profiling. Whenever he interviewed me, I tried inhumanly hard to impress the guy..."

Bill was a good friend for most of the 30 years I've been in Chicago and Carson was foundational in our relationship. On this episode I talk with one of Bill's best friends, Mike Thomas, who worked with Bill for years. Mike has been a great writer at the Chicago Sun-Times forever and he's authored two terrific books of his own

When Bill died, Mike was the absolute best choice to finish this book

Of course we talk about Carson but we spend time detailing the run of the GOAT, Bill Zehme, as well

Get the book and share this new episode of LIVE FROM MY OFFICE

Originally from 2020, this episode feels more relevant today. I explain why we need YOU… yes you… to be a voter in this election. I also breakdown some of the most common barriers people put between THEMSELVES and voting. That's a polite way of simply saying IF YOU CARE about what happens to this country and your family, there are no excuses...VOTE! Thanks for listening!
