Every week I send my Minutia Men Co-Host Dave Stern a list from our audio archives for this week's Studio Walls feature. These are the possibilities for this week. Which one will he choose?
*October 10 is actor Bradley Whitford's birthday. We had Bradley on the podcast during the pandemic.
*October 10 is also WGN-TV's Jeff Hoover's birthday. His former running mate on the Brandmeier show, Brendan Sullivan, told us a great story about a day the two of them made a personal appearance dressed as Nazis.
*October 11, 2019, I made an appearance on the Destination Eat Drink show talking about my visit to Rovinj.
*October 12, 1960, the Congress Expressway opened in Chicago. Shermann Dilla Thomas was on our show once and explained why his father refused to drive on it.
*October 14, 1994, the film Pulp Fiction premiered. We interviewed one of the actors from that film, Paul Calderone.
*October 14, 1994, the Chicago Wolves played their first ever game. I once wrote a theme song for the Wolves, and their VP Wayne Messmer sang it live on the John Landecker show (AUDIO)
*October 14, 2003, the Steve Bartman game happened at Wrigley Field. Our friend Dane Placko was there covering it as a news reporter, and we videotaped him telling the story of that incredible sight. ESPN saw the video and asked Dane to participate in their documentary "Catching Hell" about that day.
*October 14, 2020, comedian Larry Reeb appeared on our show.
(This week is also the anniversary of this ad running in the Daily Illini in 1985)
