We discuss how there is brain-damaging lead in the water all over the city and how our wonderful officials have known about and done nothing. But hey, you can get a free water filter if you ask nicely. Thanks Cook County... ugh.
The Humboldt Park alligator! It is in the depths, it is alive, where is it? Alligator Bob is on the case and we are hoping for a safe rescue of the creature to get it out of Humboldt Park lagoon... it has blue-green algae don't you know.
The Chicago Fire is moving away from Bridgeview and back to Soldier Field... allegedly. You soccer fans have to come into the city again. YAY!

HEY CHICAGO! HAPPY 4th of JULY! USA! USA!
This week on Da Chicago 60 podcast, Norm and I recap our 4th of July weekend and discuss our new comedy sketches that are coming out soon.
Craft Beer. People like it. People love it. People drink it. Brett Kavanaugh does. But, do black people like craft beer? Norm and I discuss and give shoutouts to the new brewery in Englewood.
Madigan, the real Frank Underwood, ensured his victory with "false candidates." Ah, corruption at its finest. Chicago pension debt is still in debt and Illinois does not want to be considered "junk" so people won't get their money. But, the state under JB wants to take more of your money in the form of a gas tax.
There is a new pop-up SpongeBob Squarepants themed bar in Chicago until the 15th of July!
Da Bulls and Da Hawks get some new players and the US Women's National Soccer team wins the World Cup! The men... lost the Gold Cup. Typical.

Another new law makes it easier for women to get back their maiden names after a divorce; and... carp... a horrific fish preying on the Wetlands of the Great Lakes. How do we deal with these... carp? They are eating everything and investing our ponds and golf course waters! Do we kill them? Eat them? Swim with them? Well, we have plenty of hashtags for that! #EatDaCarp #KillDaCarp #SwimminWithDaCarp

Hey Chicago! It was Memorial Day yesterday! Shoutout to all our veterans and servicemen and women who put their lives on the line so we can goof around and so silly stuff on our daily routines. We have a wonderful history and many of our veterans are the reason we live so freely today, so we honor them. However, what will this day look like in the future once previous generations have passed. War is not as prevalent as it once was and looks way different now. Their are different stereotypes for joining the military these days. So, will Memorial Day ever be the same? Norm and I discuss.
Lori Lightfoot is officially mayor of Chicago! How will she do? Rahm is done and he gets his final report card grade from Da Chicago 60.
We review a play at Theater Wit from the Shattered Globe Theater Company, "Hannah and Martin," AND we give a big shout out to Walter Payton for being named da best Chicago Bears player of all-time. All of this and the Jagoff of da Week on this episode of Da Chicago 60 podcast!
