Happy September! Sit back, relax, and enjoy some pumpkin spice with a side of The Pat McGann Show. They say death comes in threes, so we’re paying tribute to Dolly Parton, Tim Curry, and some guy named Nigel. Plus, Pat is now an honorary citizen of Parma, Ohio. That only means one thing… he must now run for mayor.

NBC 5 Chicago political reporter Mary Ann Ahern joins Pat and Dwayne Kennedy for a run through her career on the Chicago beat: chasing mayors and governors, breaking the story on the Catholic Church abuse scandal, and getting quietly boxed out of asking President Obama a question at his own library. 

She also tells the story of a Congressional race that ended a legendary civil rights friendship, and explains how her grandkids ended up calling her "Honey" instead of "Grandma." 

Plus -- enjoy this extended version of Episode 52 with our legendary cohost Dwayne Kennedy. The pair gets into a Spider-Man sighting at a political protest, stunt tongues, and Spirit Halloween.

How many signatures does it take to get on the ballot for mayor of Chicago? Turns out it's 12,500, and you're not allowed to collect a single one before July 28th. Liam Stanton, candidate for Mayor of Chicago, joins Pat McGann and Dwayne Kennedy to talk about his campaign, City Hall's finances, and what separates him from a crowded field of career politicians. 

Stanton grew up in Rogers Park as the youngest of eight, and his grandfather immigrated from Ireland to clean streetcars before his dad became a Chicago cop. He also opens up about his brother Tom, who runs the Danny Did Foundation and its work on childhood epilepsy. Along the way: a scammer trying to con his wife out of a nominating signature, the parking meter deal nobody's forgiven, a pitch to hold debates over Italian beef, and Friends of the Parks getting called out (again).

Kevin Bozeman is back on the show for the first time since episode seven, and Pat wastes no time doing the math on what that means for episode 350. 

The Chicago native and stand-up comedian catches Pat up on a summer of European travel, a Chicago Vocational School education whose alumni list reads like a Chicago sports hall of fame, and a full-circle sports memory built around an old West Unseld jersey. 

They also get into the sportsbook takeover of Sunday afternoons and settle into a long, deeply held debate over LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, and Michael Jordan. Bozeman shares that he'll be back in Chicago for stand-up shows this September, and weighs in on the city's next generation of stars in Caleb Williams and the White Sox.

Which Chicago office building doubles as a former mob execution site and a cushy city day job? Just ask Joey Villagomez. The Back of the Yards comic — who picked up the nickname "Joey the Clown" — joins Pat McGann and Dwayne Kennedy alongside World Cup analyst Marcelo Balboa this week. Villagomez traces his path from tagging CTA train cars as a teenager to hosting rooms across Chicago's old open mic circuit with Felipe Esparza and Bill Burr, plus a recent hour at the Comedy Store that's got him eyeing a full month in LA. 

Balboa, meanwhile, breaks down how Spain shut down Lionel Messi and dismantled Argentina in the World Cup final, and shares the story of the friend who had to leave Pat's Kirkland stand-up show early — mid dental-surgery recovery — because he couldn't stop laughing.

Getting cut four times by the same team would send most guys to Wall Street. Tom Waddle had the finance degree ready, but stayed anyway.

The Chicago Bears legend and longtime ESPN 1000 host joins Pat and Dwayne Kennedy to talk going undrafted out of the greatest draft class in NFL history, the speech Mike Ditka gave him on every cut day, and the 1991 Vikings game that turned a practice-squad guy into a Chicago household name. He also gets honest about the All-Madden playoff game against Dallas he mostly doesn't remember, and what 19 years on the radio with Silvy has taught him.

Plus, Marcelo Balboa checks in with the World Cup down to its Final Four — and a look into America’s odd beef with soccer (even though American Football’s scoring is just as “boring”)
