Nick D – Monica Eng, Al Snopes, and Ladder Ball

Nick welcomes Monica Eng from Axios.com to talk about crazy snacks in Albany Park, her trip to Champaign-Urbana where she stayed at Roger Ebert’s house (which may, in fact, be haunted by Roger), her hatred of horror movies, and Monica talks about the time she reviewed movies for The Sun-Times including the Larry David ‘classic’ “Sour Grapes.” Plus, they talk about Senator John Kennedy reading about sex toys on the Senate floor, and how composting needs to be curbside in Chicago. Then, Esmeralda Leon and Nick talk about the upcoming Nick D Podcast LIVE show at Zanies Comedy Club in Rosemont. They also chat about the origin of “Donkey Kong,” exactly how many names Puff Daddy has had, the weird setup at The Salt Shed music venue, what the hell is “Ladder Ball?,” and who the hell is Al Snopes? And, Nick’s Dad Tells a Joke. [Ep180]
