Jordan Cornette is out here busting his hump. He's the Host of "The Jam" on WCIU early in the morning, then goes over to ESPN 1000 to work with Kap and during college hoops season, he's also on the road calling games. All that while planning a wedding to Shae Peppler.

You can start thinking bigger now that the Bears are 6-3. I explain why I thought today was Mitch's best game. It was a pretty dominant performance by the Bears that would've been more dominant if Cody Parkey didn't miss any kicks. I explain why I didn't like what Nagy said about that in post. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/house-of-l-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

I've known Lourdes since our days at DePaul. It was great to sit down and talk about the business of journalism with her. She's kind, hard-working, and extremely talented. We talked about growing up Cuban in Puerto Rico, why she loves traveling, and how she deals with the hardest stories to cover. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/house-of-l-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

What's it like when you have your dream job and lose it? It's no secret that Siera is one of my favorite people in this business. She's a fighter and a survivor.

A Sports Radio "OG," George Ofman was doing sports on the radio before it was a genre. He's seen it all! We talked about the early days of The Score, what it was like to cover Jordan, and the broadcasting pioneers that inspired him. We also talked about wine and one of our favorite subjects: Doug Buffone. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/house-of-l-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

You're not going to find anyone in our business who's more genuine, kind, and hard-working as Kelly Crull. This was a fun chat that went longer than we both expected.

You're also going to find out why you want her on your bowling team.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/house-of-l-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

He's one of the best Bears reporters in the business. I loved talking with WGN Radio's Adam Hoge about what it's like to cover the NFL. We also got into his decision to leave The Score to go to The Game and what it was like for him when The Game folded. Not gonna lie, he's one of my favorites. That will come through in the conversation.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/house-of-l-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

For almost 40 years, Jim Rose has been at Channel 7. That's AMAZING! It's weird, his name came up in the episode with Michael Kim, so I thought it would be a good idea to talk about Jim's career. It's a quick interview, but it's really good. Jim Rose was synonymous with the Jordan Bulls and we talked about that. Also, in this episode, I share, why I'm taking a much needed break... Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/house-of-l-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
