General Motors joining us on the northwest news line is ABC's Derek Dennis What's going on Derek Both of these recalls really concerning first is the Ford recall of some 215,000 pickup trucks and large SUVs sold in the U.S. and in Canada The recalls were over break fluid that could leak and cause longer for you to stop your four truck or SUV as it should And so that's what the recall is covering The F one 50 pickup truck built from 2016 to 2018 as well as the Ford expedition and the Lincoln Navigator SUVs built from 2016 to 2017 So that's a big concern And then separately GM General Motors recalling a whopping 740,000 small SUVs in the U.S. because the headlight beams can be too bright and cause glare for oncoming drivers You've all seen this happen where an oncoming car has the high beams call as saying it's because of something wrong in these small General Motors SUVs So the company's recalling the GMC terrain SUVs built from 2010 to 2017 It gets us saying that's the national highway traffic safety administration saying the reflection from those high beams can illuminate some areas with too much light making it harder for those oncoming drivers to see where they're going Have we heard about accidents because of these issues No accidents that have been reported under this recall but the national highway traffic safety administration is saying there is an increased risk of a crash of based on these two recalls the headlights and the high beams that are too bright as well as the obvious risk of leaking brake fluid And we should also mention that the reducibility visibility of drivers on the headlight issue is a major concern for the risk of crashes And so they're worried about it enough that these major recalls have been announced And what do you do if you have one of these vehicles You're supposed to go to immediately to your car dealership or at least contact them to make an appointment to get the fixed done They say that these cars should not be going on the road much without contact your nearest GM or.

"I've been following it for a while, and it just makes it makes you laugh, quintessentially Chicago, totally fictional person and the account formerly run by a person who wanted to remain completely anonymous. Well, you just landed a new Netflix show, which is pretty cool. I want to talk about what Chicago Party and is all about with the no longer anonymous Chris with Husky. How are you, Chris? Thanks for calling in and congrats. I'm doing good, long time Listener. First time caller. No, I love it. It's just perfect. I mean, my gosh, the voice I should probably let Let's How do you describe Chicago Party and I just She gives me a chuckle. Every city every single day. I'd say she's sort of raunchy. She's boozy. I picture her middle aged The attribute says she never turns down anything resembling a good time. She's full assassin. A whole lot of old style. What do you think, Chris? She is definitely all of that. I would describe her as the kind of ultimate quintessential Chicago broad. Uh and she's the kind of shit everybody knows Chicago Party and she she is based on a couple of my actual aunt. I also used to work at Mike Ditka's restaurant for five years and I start a whole lot of Chicago party comes through that place. I love it that I mean, I know you're a second city alum. And you know you you obviously you have a wonderful sense of humor. I like this post was this today. Hey, Walter E. Smith Brothers. I'm looking for a casting couch. She got one big enough for the four of us. I mean, it's great. She's just perfect and all the stuff she talks about The Lord and the women's restroom at the Carson's ribs on East Superior is out of order. That's why I I, You know, it's just all this stuff we love about Chicago and you're right. Every one of us knows somebody just like this, and it's beautiful. How did you get the attention of Netflix to notice what you're doing? So I started this Twitter account back in 2016, and I started it just for fun. Just as a kind of creative outlet. I I was living in Chicago for many years. But then I moved out to l A. Um And so you know, there's a lot of downtime in l A is a lot of sitting around waiting for your next audition. So I started this just for fun, and then it kind of started to grow. And I knew it was. I knew I was onto something. When Stephen Colbert was retweeting it and then I thought, you know this might be a good A good TV show a good animated show, so I put together Group of other great Chicago and and guys who are, you know, know how to write television like my friend Barinholtz and his brother, John. Um, And so then we went out. We kind of put together a pitch and took it out and Netflix. We pitched this Netflix and they wanted it, And now they are 16 episodes. No. How about that? How did they understand it? Because l A people don't always understand Chicago stuff. I just I wondered, was there Chicago went in the room, he said this is great. There was the Chicago into the room. The woman who who bought it. Her name is Elizabeth Porter, and she spent many years in Chicago kind of hanging out in around the improv scene. And so she totally got it. And so we were fortunate that Elizabeth had some Chicago experience. Yes. Love that now in Chicago party and has been tweeting out to Skilling, Tom Skilling to say, Hey, pick up my pick up my phone calls his Tom Skilling picked up the phone calls yet I love her. She loves Tom Skilling. She loved killing. She has an ongoing affair with Tom Skilling. I'm not sure if he knows about it or not. He does. He does. I have confirmation of that and I'll ask him. He's on the show every week. But I heard he was told he didn't know about Chicago Party and But then since the Netflix show in the big deal, he found out about her. Gosh, this is a dream come true, You know. I mean, we are everybody loves Tom Skilling. I mean, he is the most lovable. Sweetest man on the planet. And so the fact that this raunchy broad is like in love with him and constantly saying, like, Hey, you left your underwear on my place last night it, Chris, Let me ask you this. I got to ask you this because for so long you didn't want to be known. You didn't want to be identified, and even Chicago magazine did a whole interview with you about Chicago party and but the whole the agreement was that they couldn't say who you are. It was just fun doing it anonymous. I think that if people knew that, you know, um, that I was doing it. I think it would take some of the fun out of it. And so it was. It was really cool to have nobody know that it was me for so long. But then, after five years, I was like, Well, I should also get some credit for this. You know, Right, right. It can help my career. So now here we are, you know, unmasking so Netflix series. I know it will be a huge hit in Chicago because it just makes you laugh. I'm looking here. Fighting for my dibs really keeps my blood pumping. Just yesterday I cut a lady's brake lines for moving my street ironing board and, you know you talk about the jewels and all the things about Chicago. Are you back much Chris in order to get some new material or how does that work? I try to get back, You know, at least once a year. I'm coming in August for a wedding and I'm going to spend some time in the city and hopefully I think I might be thrown out of first pitch at the Cubs game Nice, so that will be very cool. But when we when we set out when we all sat down to write this show, the first thing we said was we wanted to be a love letter to Chicago and You know, we we obviously wanted to be universal. It's going to be streaming and you know 190 countries, So we have to make it universal so everyone can appreciate it. But there are a ton of, uh Chicago Easter eggs throughout the show, and I think we did a good job achieving that Now it's an animated series. So I wonder. Will you have an animated character for Tom Skilling? Have you decided that yet? Well, All the episodes are done already. We've already got 16 in the can, and it's a bit of a secret, but I will say there's a good chance. Oh, that's that's that's great intel. I mean, we can We not say anything. Are we supposed to keep this hush hush and not tell Skilling. You can kind of keep it keep it under wraps a little bit, but Listen, it all comes out on September 17th. So it's just a you know, a month away and all the secrets will be revealed. Alright, well will be will be downloaded our Netflix and it's called Chicago Party, and that's what you're calling it. It's called Chicago Party, and they're releasing the first eight episodes. And then there's another eight that will follow it up, and it's definitely for adults. You know, even though it's a cartoon, it's uh it's probably rated PG 13. Or maybe even are in some episodes because you have to stay true to Diane Dombrowski. You know that's her name and we'll be watching. I'm so excited about this, Chris. Congratulations. Second city who are collaborating with you. It's It's really huge. I think it could be a huge success and I hope it is. Well, I really appreciate that. And thank you so much for having me on. Thanks, Chris. Keep in touch. That's Chris would task E. He is the guy.
