For this episode, we visit a long-running south side Chicago institution: Calumet Fisheries (3259 E 95th St, Chicago, IL 60617). I\'m joined by my (recently) former WLUP co-workers,
Al Roker, Jr. (YAY YAY! It\'s a slippery slope!) and Abe Kanan (who joins the podcast for the third time).

In this BOOST MOBILE-sponsored episode:

• We met at Calumet Fisheries, despite the fact that Abe hates fish.
• The last time I saw Abe and Al was four weeks to the day... when it was announced the Loop was being sold.
• Al has to go back to the Loop offices to pick up his boxes, but he\'s not ready to do the "walk of shame."
• Radio people should be afraid of being involved in Hollywood films.
• Roker\'s (new) signature line: IT\'S A SLIPPERY SLOPE.
• The (relative) safety of the neighborhood surrounding Calumet Fisheries ("There\'s a chance we\'ll lose our lives here").
• Abe\'s "mother sauce" is mayonnaise.
• Whatever money Calumet Fisheries is making from the restaurant, they are NOT reinvesting in the exterior.
• Abe drops beard knowledge on me.
• As usual, the first clip of the show was done live, on-camera, for Facebook Live: "What are you doing, honey?" "I\'m watching Al Roker, Jr. lick his fingers on Facebook."
• The current job search statuses of Roker and Abe (related: HIRE THESE GUYS).
• The outrageous... truly outrageous... contract request Abe made (and got) from a previous employer.
• The true test of being unemployed.
• What would be creepier than LinkedIn\'s existing creepy feature? If it existed on Facebook ("It would end Facebook").
• What is a "Roker Girl?" Is it someone who\'s "plus-sized?"
• Roker\'s wife was watching Facebook Live as Roker was talking about "Roker Girls."
• Has Roker\'s sexual activity picked up since getting laid off? Spoiler warning: Yes, and ick.
• Roker and Abe once went to Vegas, ate like idiots and shared a hotel room. The story involves a magnificent buffet, a bathroom and revealing boxer shorts.
• How does someone get hungry after hitting a buffet? "If you\'re fat... "
• I offered Roker an Orange Fanta. "Why would (James) ever buy an Orange Fanta?"
• We speculate about what happened at the nearby bridge.
• The unemployment routine: Is it disciplined or disastrous?
• Why unemployment is like the stages of death.
• Roker couldn\'t get a call back from Destination XL.
• "Death Wish" is not "Die Hard."
• Awkward transition around 38:00. Somewhere, on the cutting room floor, is a conversation about the things Al Roker, Jr. likes to do with a favorite breakfast condiment. You had to be there.
• Everything at Calumet Fisheries is stuck in 1967.\\xa0
• Abe\'s doing "intermittent fasting," and swears it works.
• Abe: "I was shocked to learn that you eat like we do."
• Roker watched a stabbing while doing a radio call-in.
• Roker successfully scrubbed all the porn malware from his computer.\\xa0
• Roker\'s porn subscriptions.
• What we\'d do if we won the lottery
