"Sorry it took me so long to find out that you were wrong that's all right. It took a little time to get you out of my mind. WGN radio. I'm Raleigh James so who are they? Yes and what do they have in common with everybody else who've been playing? Now what I can tell you about that it was 1965 on imperial and interestingly that that period of time they had other songs like this that also originated in New Orleans, though they were far from a New Orleans group. All right, so who are they? So 888-876-5593. That's 88, 88 Raleigh, and it's probably not hard to find a one in any medium or large American city today, but a hundred years ago it was rare. The oldest one still in operation today is in Seattle, what is it? And Dave is a first time caller. We'll get back to mark in downers grove here in a moment. Don't go away. Mark, but I want to get Dave on the air in northwest Indiana. Welcome to WGN radio. Thanks for calling. Thank you so much. Love your show. Thank you. What do you think? I'll just take a stab at it. A gas station? Not a gas station. Nice guess, though, I like it. Thank you. Call me again. Appreciate it. All right, so good to meet Dave. All right, now before we get back to marking downers grove, James and Oregon wanted to weigh in on what he was talking about so all right James, what do you know? Yeah. Hey, I'm going to give a name. So doctor Peter Nicholas was talking about late 2021, early 2022. If there were studies going on restoring vision in mice and primates and that they were going to be doing it in humans and I believe it was related around stem cell therapy, but I'm not sure, but if Mark wants to try to get a hold of this doctor, he's not the one that does the work. He just reports about he's somewhat related to that WABC radio back there because that's where I hearing from time to time. And he's talking that it's going to be now 2023, which is now, but if he goes on to clinical trials dot gov, he can do a search for that kind of work going on. We've done that. We've done that before. And I'm going to ask him again here in a moment, but in the past, I don't think his doctors have been real embracing of that, which is a shame. I would hope that there was something he would qualify for. Well, I was in contact with this one doctor that does that therapy that that Doug Oliver that I mentioned a while back. I had and he sent a forms for us to have go to my ophthalmologist to have sold out now. She wouldn't fill it out. She was all up in arms about it and said it was a fraud knowledge that. But how we talk about the right to try if nothing else. So yeah, when somebody's talking about giving you a prosthetic eye, that's the time you'll try anything and you should. That's right. Yeah, now it's not cheap because it's considered experimental. So that's not covered by the insurances. And they quoted me at $22,000. But if they get your vision back, it's going to be worth it. Absolutely. And yeah. So anyways, I hate to see anybody get down if there's hope out there and I just wanted to throw that out to him because I heard him say that you already had one prosthetic eye and let's hope for the best remark. Yeah, absolutely. You betcha. Yeah. All right. So that's all I had to say. Well, thanks. I appreciate it. All right, so now with that in mind, let's go back to Mark because I know we've talked about these trials before. So I meant to follow that up. Now, Mark, you're aware of that.

At the time I saw doctor Blair, I couldn't remember the name of the website, but now I know it's clinical trials dot com. Dot gov dot gov. Dot com. I can bounce it off the present doctor and see what he has to say, but these are, I mean, these are supposedly people who specialize in the retina. Yeah, I understand that, but I'm not okay with their response. No, we don't know, I don't have any way of knowing whether they're in touch with the most cutting edge medicine. Exactly. And also again, this could be a very long shot, but that may be a long shot you want to take. Yeah. It's easy, it's easy for them to say, oh, we'll give you a prosthesis, but they're not the ones walking around blind. Yeah, and I would have to boy, I'd have to do a major fundraiser on Facebook to get 22,000. It wouldn't be on Facebook, but there are a number of the GoFundMe sites where you might be able to raise it. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So yeah, clinical trials dot gov. And some of them might in fact be free. Because it depends on the study. Now, I'm looking there where it says find a study. And the first thing I put for conditioner disease was retina, but let's be more specific, like they've got retinal detachment, disease occlusion, dystrophies, degeneration, vascular. This was definitely retinal detachment. Okay, so and you just didn't catch it in time. What happened? No, no, mine. No, my condition happened when a lot of hospitals were saying only life or death surgery. Right, so that's why my fair trade was delayed. Right. And had it not been delayed, you might have been able to save your site. Very possibly, yes. Because the period of COVID closed down was exactly

"Of my friends earlier in the show today. I'm going to read it in part again. It's from Tracy Weiner, who said two years ago at this time, we were all shut down and home in the kids at downers grove north did not get to perform their annual show in front of a live audience so they created this and then it's what you're hearing is the audio of the video. It's one of those mosaics where all of the kids working from home were sending in their solo parts for a choral arrangement. Remember the screens where you'd see everybody all participating as one. You showcased it, John. There are now 12,000 views. Thanks for propelling it two years ago, right now. I still listen to it because it's so beautiful. This is the downers grove north 2020 virtual hallelujah chorus. It's amazing. That they were able to do that. Prayer Teague is the fine arts department chair that downers grove north. Breyer, that's still sounds good, doesn't it? Oh, John, thank you so much for having me today. And it does still sound good. I was just speaking with some colleagues today and while none of us would ever want to repeat the pandemic or experience the repercussions that came from it. We do look back on that video with a smile. It's a historical record of sorts of, well, we lived through corporately and also a reminder to us as teachers of the resilience of our students to find a way to continue traditions that are important to them. It was so nice for the kids to have that way to connect because we were all so isolated. How many kids, how many kids involved in the acquire there? Well, we have about a 150 students involved in the choir and then with the instrumentalist that will be involved in tonight's mosaic concert. We should have over 250 students performing that piece live tonight. This tradition for our school dates back over 90 years. This is my 30th year at dgn, but that tradition preceded me by more than 60 years. So it's something that's been pretty important in our community. Wow. And what a coincidence that my friend pointed that out to me yesterday and tonight's the night. And you call it the mosaic concert? Yeah, I would love the fact that you mentioned those tiles that we all got so used to seeing during the pandemic on Zoom screens and how that created a mosaic of sorts on the screen. But we've actually always called this the mosaic concert because one piece of music leads directly into the next without any significant pause. So the last few notes of one piece become the first few notes of the next and the lights shift from one section of the auditorium to the next. And it creates, we call it a mosaic concert because we think of each of those pieces of music as being representative of one particular part of our program and all these small mosaics kind of create the whole. We posted the video of that on my web page. At WGN radio dot com. And on my Facebook page, I'm WGN king John, so the kids all recorded their sent in. Their parts individually and then you tiled them together. Is that right? Yeah, I really a big shout out to my colleague and friend Ariel Moses, who's our auditorium manager. He would have typically in a non pandemic year, he would be spending all of his energy focusing lights all over the auditorium in preparation for this concert. And in that particular year, he just worked tirelessly to take all of those videos that were submitted by individual students and put them together into what you were sharing again with the world today. And we really appreciate that. Well, I know it's obvious, but maybe it's worth saying. And I had a son who was in sports in school and a son who was in music in school. And their experiences were similar. You know, we so championed the kids that succeed in the baseball field or football field or the volleyball team, but music brings the same sort of team, energy, cooperation, discipline, all the things that you want from extracurricular activities. And then to hear it at once, all come together. One of my listeners watched the video today and said, goosebumps, goosebumps. Well, I've always loved your bright side segment. And I have to tell you, I think teachers experience bright side moments like this nearly every single day working with wonderful students. And so if you really want to feel uplifted, I would love to invite your listeners if they can to come on out to downers grove north tonight. We have two concerts, one at 5 30, and another at 8 p.m., we repeated. It's free and open to the public and if you want to feel inspired, I know sometimes the news gets us down, but these young adults are just inspiring to work with every day and we can't wait to allow them to present these musical gifts to the world.

That crash is being cleaned up on that ramp. You can get through on that ramp, but now before this, there is a crash on the exit ramp at Butterfield, a lot of traffic was diverting off at Butterfield trying to avoid the issue on the ramp to 88, and now there's a crash on this ramp. So southbound three 55 on the ramp to Butterfield, the right lane of the ramp is blocked because of a crash, you can still get by on the left lane, but just be patient here. Three 55 southbound is kind of a mess in downers grove. You're seeing heavy traffic from Butterfield, found 88. Northbound three 55 is okay. On the Jane Adams and the Reagan told always we're looking good on the tri state tollway northbound traffic is heavy from 95th street up to willow springs. That's where we have a crash that was just cleared out of the right lane all lanes are now open. That's on the northbound side of the tri state southbound two 94 looking pretty good. The Eden's on the inbound side have you already from Cicero avenue to the Kennedy. It's 18 minutes from late cook in, the Kennedy inbound 39 minutes from O'Hare 19 from the junction, the Kennedy outbound not looking too bad so far this morning. The eisner inbound though jammed up from before mannheim to 9th avenue. That's because we have a crash in the left lane here. That's on the inbound side of the eye, and we're looking at 52 minutes from the Jane Adams into the burn interchange it's a half hour in from Anaheim, but the outbound side of the Ike's logo from Harlan had to first avenue Stevenson in about 48 minutes from three 55, 38 in from the tri state. The outbound side is okay but north by 9 55 and will county already heavy from Weber road up to the veterans tollway.

Three 38 traffic and weather together on the 8 sponsored by nuts on Clark ears Trent Erickson. I got some difficulty on I 57 among other spots, but let's go to the wbm dug of traffic tipline and see what we've got going on. All right, this is double D that right lane on the outbound 57 right at Halstead was blocked. But they just pulled it off the roadway up to hall set there, but it's kind of a hot mess behind me. It backed up real, real quick. All lanes are now open. All right, double D, thank you 8 5 5 7 80 wrote if you want to get bob. Yeah, I'll bounce out of 57 right around halsted. Looks like we've got delays coming off the Dan Ryan from roughly 83rd street on down and your delays on the Kennedy boy. They continue to get worse with some crashes reported anyway. I believe that it's in the delay already from Lawrence all the way into downtown area without the express lanes you have no choice, but to stick to it, those crashes are reported right around Addison and Irving park. How outside slows but not really until you get closer to urban park and then it's jammed out to Harlem and outside of the edens in that same spot as you can imagine is jammed into the Kennedy. If you're on the inbound side of the Eisenhower slow go with a crash in the delay that's already beyond before manheim all the way to Austin and then again from Ashton to the Bernie to change what's your first delays your real bad one. I don't bounce outside slows from California take that delay, plumb out the first avenue. Stevenson In-N-Out bound, believe it or not, it's improving, but still jump from Damon all the way out to pass first avenue nearly to Lagrange earlier crashes have concluded out of the way the inbound side slows from first avenue up to kedzie and just beyond that and then around the Dan Ryan and no problems on the rest of the area south side expressways. And you do have some delays though if you are traveling in the Orland Park area with Lagrange is jammed up going on both directions right around a 143rd on down to a 151st and beyond it is really messy. We've got reported crashes in the area and a lot of shopping going on. From the metro traffic setup, you'd actually put a three third 48 on news radio one O 5 9.

And the organization awake Illinois took that, put it on their website and then sort of used it to enforce or endorse some of the things that they are all about. The things that they're about are protesting the drag puppet show with the downers grove library or the show that was going to take place at the bakery. It's a, I guess, very conservative organization on that social issue, and the avid brothers are quite the opposite of that. It sounds like. In fact, the cellist of the three the cellist then tweeted at them, and he asked them to take that song down because they didn't ask for permission for its use. They own the song, a wake Illinois does not.

I was talking with a sea crane tech a couple of days ago and in mid December, there is going to be a brand new upgrade on that radio. And I'm impressed with the honesty of that company because the tech I talked with said that the one drawback of the newer model is going to be that the heads on output will have a little bit more background hits, but everything else is an improvement and there are four improvements. Number one, the speaker will sound better. Number two, there will now be an external short wave check and crane will provide an adapter so that if you're using a real antenna that doesn't fit the socket, you can still clip it onto the adapter, the third improvement is that the Well., I forgot the third improvement. The biggest improvement is going to be that the reception will be even more sensitive than it already is. And now I remember the third improvement. It's going to have a new AC adapter, and that's because the charging time for the internal batteries will go down from 12 hours to three hours. Yes. Good. So this and the only reason that they use a slightly inferior headphone output is that they wanted to keep the price the same. So they had to compromise somewhere. But he was honest enough to tell me that good. Yeah, I just have endless admiration for what crane is doing. And I wanted to respond to the gentleman who talked about WGN and wbm. Without getting too technical, those two stations are different enough and frequency that they probably have a different phase cancellation region owing to the different wavelengths. But I have examples of reception that are field tested, for example, zoomer radio, which is on 7 40, has an excellent signal still in Buffalo, New York, which is about 90 miles away from Toronto. Now WTR buffalo, which is only 5000 watts, actually is louder in Syracuse, New York during the day. Well, of course. And that because it's louder in Syracuse than wkw, which is 50,000 watts because the groundwave is shorter up of 1420. But at night, W K BW will make it easily to the state of May. Will not. Right. Right, well of course. 1520 is of course not the most advantageous one be clear frequency to be on. It's going to have some strength, but it's also going to have a ton of weaknesses. Yeah, and now I know that WGN does have a phase cancellation area because every clear every time every clear channel, because I mean, that's just basic physics. So groundwave and skyway is going to cancel each other. The question is how large is the phase zone? One of the things over the years a couple of things really hurt the phase zone was one was the a.m. stereo debacle. You didn't want to I don't even need to describe it, you know. And the next thing or the poor fools who went ibok on AMO regard my head throbs at the top. Oh, yeah. And I spent a weekend in Bloomington, Indiana, and boy, did I find out about the WGN phase cancellation? You can't fix that. Okay. Yeah. And my vote for one of the worst songs ever is much a man by the village people. I haven't had many bills. Actually, anything by the village people would qualify, but that one especially. All right, usually YMCA gets the votes, but I'll put macho man with me. Well, you've got no, I'm sure you've got other callers, so I'll save the cocoa Taylor story for another night. All right, well, good deal. I don't know if I have any other colors, but I will look forward to your next. Okay, I can or I can sell it now if you want. Well, can you tell it in two minutes? Probably. I saw her on stage at ravinia and she was a lioness. You wouldn't want to tangle with her in a dark alley. But then I met her at Porter, bookstores for a CD signing and she was not only gentle, but even soft spoken. And she genuinely thanked all of us for being there. She said, thank you so much for coming out to see me and she gave each of us a warm handshake and the main point that I would want to make is that with cocoa Taylor, I sense no hypocrisy between the stage persona and the in person meeting in public. She was an utterly consistent person. Yeah, I've never heard very bad word about her. Never. Very, very warm and gentle and just a pleasure to meet and even though she was a lion that's on stage. She was a pleasure to watch musically, too. Well, and it was a pleasure to watch her on stage. That was her station. Exactly. That's what I just said. All right, good deal. Thanks for calling. She is cool. She wants to. She wants to know. Since 20,009, long time. Yeah. All right, thanks. Appreciate it. Oh boy, I loved it when borders had these musicians and authors in store. But borders doesn't exist anymore. Well, what does, you know, when you get right down to it? Okay, good night. Appreciate it. Yes, one of those cocoa Taylor was originally from Memphis. And she went to Chicago. I think once she got married in 1952, and so she was fairly young at the time, and her husband pops Taylor was a truck driver. And she began singing the blues, and it was Willie Dixon, who spotted her in 62. So she wasn't exactly a spring chicken then. But had a lot of opportunities to perform and to record and Chicago blues, I think, was the first blues collection, but then she was on checker. Wang dang noodle just the best that Dixon recorded with howlin wolf, about 5 years earlier, but I thought the cocoa Taylor version by far was superior and of course it was a big hit as well. Sold sold a million copies. And she did a number of other things over the years, and tour. She was an alligator records later, of course, and had, I guess it was around 1990 minute, a really bad car crash, which way later for a little while, but then she was back and was performing. Really up until she died, I think, unfreeze McGee was the last New Year's Eve concert last thing she did in Chicago. So yes, rest in peace. Coco Taylor. And everybody, including Janis Joplin, said she was an influence. So hard to believe it's been since 2009. All right, so we will pick it up right there. Another half hour of this is on your mind if it's on mine. Well, we'll do that right now. We'll find out what's going on in

"Hey Everyone Danielle. Here I'm excited to get into this episode with our guest and curly will be back next week today Monica royer joins us on skimmed from the couch. She is the founder and CEO of Monica Andy An organic baby and children's clothing company. Monica had the idea to launch her company literally from the hospital after she gave birth. Who've with the mission of being the most thoughtful children's brand ever created and as we'll get into entrepreneurship definitely runs in her family Monica. Thank you for joining us today welcomed skin from the couch Danielle. Thank you so much for having me. I'm super excited to be here. Thank you. So I just WanNa say that like literally I think one of the days after I had told our team that I. Was Pregnant I had a call with Monica and I was like only slightly panicked about the fact that I was maybe a first time mom and really had no clue what I was doing and was like everyone keeps telling me I need a lay at and I don't even know what that is and Google that and Monica was like such a calming presence and literally knows this case inside a now. Thank you so much what we're is really excited to welcome people into Motherhood, in new, parenthood. So congratulations to you. Thank you. So let's start with an easy question scam your resume. To actually take back to what you can't see on link to in, which is that I came from a very hardworking family and so at the age of twelve, my mom was the manager, the ultrasound department at Good Samaritan. Hospital in Downers Grove and she's like you're gonNA start volunteering. So she went an air sign me up I was working at the front desk outpatient registration and that at fourteen she was like job permit time. So we went I started stocking the shelves at now very defunct retail store of which I. Can't even remember the name but work ethic with something was really important to my parents and so I spent all the time before I graduated from college with all of my summer jobs in the hospital. So physical therapy like you name it I worked all around the hospital when University of Illinois in Champaign Urbana graduated and I immediately got a job in the pharmaceutical industry. So I spent the first decade doing absolutely nothing related to what I'm currently doing but I worked at both Pfizer and Novartis for that decade which was. Very different from currently in that I launched. Monica. Nandy officially in July of twenty fourteen. So now this is my new baby and what I've been most recently working on what's something that we can't Google about you or look up on Lincoln I originally wanted to be a marine biologist. nine or ten old I would have told you wanted to be a marine biologist terrified of the ocean look at seeing but being in it. So that was sort of a non starter, the marine biology career, but I remained totally obsessed with like orcas. Great White Sharks in my very favorite place to travel as the San Juan islands outside of Seattle, marine, biologist, and pharmaceutical industry. This is all very, very interesting. So we're GONNA get into your family. And the support system that you've built around you. But I when I was talking to you a few weeks ago, you were talking about your mom and how her story had such an impact on you tell us about what it was like growing up in your house. What kind of expectations were there? Yeah. So my mom is an immigrant from India. She moved here from India's her dad was dying of Emphysema and some money home when she was nineteen. Years old as I have always a revered both of my parents Andy I always say that will never win the lottery because we did the first time by the parents that we got. So a massive amount of respect for both of them. But my mom, there was something about the family that she came from her family was very matriarchal in in a society in India that was much the opposite in. So my grandfather had nine children altogether the first. Five of which were girls as in India, like at that time most people wanted boys but my grandfather really cherish having girls in he educated each of them like they were boys and so when my mom came here, she came here on sheer well of the education that she had received and so education was of the utmost importance specifically for my mom mom was the only person in her family to marry outside of her Indian cultures or a dad is. Know his ancestors from European background and so my brother and I were so close growing up because we were so different from everybody else we were between world instead of fitting into any world in particular and so I think that unique experience really shaped the adults that we became.
But Why: A Podcast for Curious Kids
What Happens When A President Is Impeached?
"My name is evey. Im seven years. Old I live in Downers Grove Illinois. I my question is what happens when presidents get impeached. Have you been hearing about impeachment. It's been in the news because the US President Donald Trump trump has been impeached. And there's been a lot of news and conversation about whether he did something so bad that he should no longer be the US president as we're putting this this podcast episode out the trial to decide that is still going on. We thought you might appreciate having a little bit. More of an understanding of what impeachment actually is is how it works and when it has happened before in. US history so we called up. Jessica Levinson to help us with this. She's a professor or a teacher. Sure of law at Loyola Law School in California so she teaches people how to become lawyers. She also focuses on politics and government in her work so she looks at the rules around elections and she looks at government ethics. How people should behave in government so she really knows what's going on when it comes to impeachment? Here's Eve these question again. What happens when presidents get impeached? So impeachment is basically a way of removing one of our leaders in government. We have a couple of ways to remove people from their jobs so they don't get to keep doing what they already do and one of them is through elections and we can choose to vote somebody out of their current position. We can choose to say you. Don't get to keep your job. Somebody else's going to do your job now and we could also also decide to use a process called impeachment which means that people will basically decide. You did something. That is really bad in really problematic attic and that it's so bad that we might have to remove you from your job Before the next vote before the next election and so so. That's that's basically. What impeachment is a way so that people don't get to keep doing their job because they did something pretty? Bad impeachment is a process that was written into into our Constitution. The constitution is the document that was created to lay out the fundamental rules of what the United States was going to be. Here's our other guests to help explain lane the history. I am candidacy Davis. The author of don't know much about history. Impeachment is simply a term that was adopted by the men who drafted and wrote the United States constitution in seventeen eighty seven and the word comes from an old English term for how to remove an official if he somehow did something that was wrong. Corrupt criminal unethical ethical or some other form of needing to be removed. And so this was an idea that was important to the founders of with the country because they were getting a great deal of power to one man in particular the president does they finally decided on it as well as other federal officials and is important to remember. That impeachment isn't only for president. It's also for other high-ranking federal officials officials who might have to be removed from office including federal judges because our presidential elections only happen every four years the men who wrote the US Constitution thought there needed to be away to remove the president in between elections. If he had done something so wrong that he shouldn't be president anymore even before for an election happened. And I'm saying he here instead of he and she or her because back in the seventeen hundreds the founders couldn't imagine that a president or a judge judge or a person in that kind of power would be a woman one of the most important things about a democracy where the people choose their leaders is just that that the people choose so it needs to be a really big deal for a president to be removed from office by other elected officials instead of by the voters in an the election so the writers of the Constitution created rules around win and how a president can be impeached. The House of Representatives can bring bring charges against the president when they think he has done something wrong if a majority more than half of the members of the house votes to bring those charges to trial then a president has been impeached. That has happened three times so far in. US history and that's what happened to the current president. Donald Trump Andrew through Johnson in eighteen sixty eight was the first president to be impeached. The second one was Bill Clinton in nineteen ninety eight so it was more than a hundred thirty years between the first two impeachments Bill Clinton Andrew. Johnson were not removed from office now. There was one other career impeachment in that time. Richard M Nixon who was the president elected in nineteen sixty eight resigned from the office in Nineteen eighteen seventy four because he was going to be impeached and it was quite certain that he was going to be removed from office because of what he had done. In what we now know as Watergate so impeachment is pretty rare but it also might be a little confusing because being impeached. Doesn't doesn't mean that you're no longer. The president. Being impeached is kind of like being accused of doing something wrong. Here's how Jessica Levinson describes it just because because that first group of people the House of Representatives decides to impeach you nothing actually happens to president it might be that it's really embarrassing Maybe the people who don't like what happened. Use this against you. Think about something that happens at school where somebody does something. Like take a marker that wasn't theirs if the teacher tells the whole class look at this person they took the marker that's really bad that's kind of like impeachment if nothing thing happens other than the teacher just saying that's really bad but it's really what happens next which is called a trial in the Senate where you might be able to lose your job. The trial in the Senate is kind of like if the teacher says. That's so bad that you don't get to use markers for the rest of the day and so there's this consequences to that so it's up to the Senate to hold a trial and if enough of them. Two thirds agree that the president should be removed only then then what a president have to step down and that has so far never happened in. US history
