This week, I'm joined by my very funny colleagues Abe Kanan (WLUP-FM, Abe Kanan on Hold), Tim Virgin (WLUP-FM) and Bass (WLS-AM). We ate at Chicago's famous home of the breaded steak sandwich, Ricobene's (252 W 26th St, Chicago, IL 60616). Abe and Bass are long-time customers; this was a first time for Tim and me. We start out by putting the opening of the podcast on Facebook Live. I somehow launch it with a lightning effect that I can't turn off. Long story short, lightning shot out of our eyes and sandwiches for the entire time we were on camera ("We look like superheroes; this is like our origin story"). Also covered on this show: How should one eat a Ricobene's steak sandwich? Abe: "By a sink, and you should be able to take your shirt off, too." The shady Ricobene's parking lot. As Bass said, "If you look to the left, you'll see my car's tires getting put on cinder blocks." Abe and Bass's incredible, built-on-timed-defecation, Fogo de Chao dining strategy My stage fright about going #2 in public Strategies for going #2 while at work Why does Abe have a gym membership? Bathroom access at all times. Abe's master strategy for sanitizing public toilets The work of art that is the Burger King Farmhouse sandwich "Cleaning the beef machine" We kill the Facebook stream about 15 minutes in, and keep going. The conversation gets even more entertaining from there... Tim's summary? "Best sandwich in the world" Thanksgiving recap: Ways turkey doesn't suck and how I saved the day with pumpkin pie The pros of owning a Weber kettle grill The day the fire trucks had to respond to an emergency at my house My love of foam parties Tim's recent surgery, and why it's a miracle that he could even think about eating at Ricobene's Abe: "Did you all take a Prilosec before we did this?" The maudlin mourning of celebrities on Facebook The extreme lack of interaction radio personalities (other than Tim Virgin) have with celebrities  "Rest in glory, my brother!" What's up with the dude walking by the car in army fatigues? Tim: "Everybody's safe, I got my CCW license last week." "What's the most f-ed up thing you ever ate?" A PUFFIN? The sex appeal of the Boost Mobile-branded Mazda 3 Why Abe and Bass dine like visitors to the "jerk-off booths" of old Our next destination as a foursome: Kaufman's in Skokie
