Episode Details

Pete Schwaba and Greg Bach kick around the night’s biggest stories with their usual mix of sarcasm and side comments. They joke about the marathon State of the Union, get a laugh out of Chicago’s creatively named snowplows (including the very on-the-nose “Abolish Ice”), and debate this year’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominees — with artists like Pink and Shakira sparking some strong opinions.

They’re also joined by comedian and combat veteran Thom Tran, who talks about going from military life to stand-up comedy. Ahead of his appearance at the Fox Valley Veterans Council Prohibition Ball, Tran shares how he weaves his service experiences into his act and why humor can be such a powerful way to connect — and heal.
