I'm not sure when Halloween transitioned from a focus on kids dressing up and knocking on doors to get candy to one of the biggest party nights of the year, but it happened. With the big Trick-or-Treat night not coming until Monday, that makes for a whole weekend for adults to put on their Donald Trump masks and overindulge in something that's worse for you than candy. According to Lyft, it's become about the biggest ride-sharing night of the year, so I'll be out there and coming to get you.
Speaking of Lyft, guess how I met this week's guest on the Rusty Satellite Show -- a professional pumpkin carver and artist from Chicago. That's right, I picked him up after work at Iroquois Park and took him home. I think you'll like the interview, and the whole Rusty show this week.

Smart.
Listen to it all here:

What Happened to Manny? On Tuesday, Tony Palumbino invited Steve Coomes and I out to his Main Street location formerly known as Manny & Merle's to sample some new menu items, including a really rare treat -- candied bacon served in Mason jars. It's all part of the new name and image there -- Merle's Whiskey Kitchen. I'll be talking about that in details on the next podcast.
But for this one, Steve and I enjoyed talking with some noteworthy guests. He interviewed the first female master distiller in Kentucky, Pam Heilmann, about what's going on at Michter's, while I interviewed John Good, a former top assistant to trainer Bob Baffert, about the growth of his...Read more
