  • S and J are the best

    I have listened to S and J so far back I can’t remember. Look forward to Sat nights to catch up with their popular topics: music, tech, medical topics, and just fun guests. I always learn something and laugh. Thanks for keeping my sleepless night enjoyable.

  • Welcome Back

    Like a night cap of good scotch, it’s such a pleasure to hear Steve and Johnnie back.

    New owners of WGN sure did ruin that once great station but will give them credit on bringing back this great old show.

  • Steve and Johnnie

    More of them at night! They fit traditional Chicago radio. Helpful information in a friendly format, fully entertaining, delightful radio you want to listen to and enjoy. WGN has devolved into too much news and political talk. We need this, not that!

Q: Dave, what are the movies you think will win Best Picture and which one do you hope will win?
Dave predicts that One Battle After Another will contend for multiple Oscars, with Sinners also a major contender due to its high nomination count; his pick for the overall winner leans toward One Battle After Another, unless Sinners' momentum shifts the outcome. He also notes that the industry trend could favor the film with broader box office and multi-category strength.

Q: Is this true or do you think that's a rumor, Tom?
I don't know anything about that. At the moment, I don't think AM is in their cars. They're expecting you to go to AM stations via an app.
