Tim McEnery sat in front of Pat in homeroom reading restaurant trade magazines, and now he runs Cooper’s Hawk, the 13th largest wine producer in America. He joins Pat and Dwayne Kennedy to talk about building a billion-dollar company from a spiral notepad. Pat spent those same four years trying to get him to goof off, so we can call this one a draw. 🎧 New episodes every Thursday — filmed at Tiege Hanley Studios in Chicago.  🔗 Follow The Pat McGann Show: Instagram: @thepatmcgannshow TikTok: @thepatmcgannshow Apple Podcasts & Spotify: The Pat McGann Show 🎤 Co-Host: Dwayne Kennedy Instagram: @dwaynetkennedy 🎤 Guest: Tim McEnery Instagram: @timmceneryofficial 💚 Sponsored by Tiege Hanley — Get 40% off your first box + free gift → tiege.com/pat Interested in sponsoring The Pat McGann Show?

Pat McGann and Dwayne Kennedy go guest-free for a fall break, starting with a sincere sendoff to Mike Ditka, the Chicago icon who won it all as a player and a coach.

Then the October Speed Round begins: apple cider donuts or pumpkin donuts? Candy corn, yes or no? Freddy or Jason?  Let us know your thoughts!  🎧 New episodes every Thursday — filmed at Tiege Hanley Studios in Chicago.  🔗 Follow The Pat McGann Show: Instagram: @thepatmcgannshow TikTok: @thepatmcgannshow Apple Podcasts & Spotify: The Pat McGann Show 🎤 Co-Host: Dwayne Kennedy Instagram: @dwaynetkennedy 💚 Sponsored by Tiege Hanley — Get 40% off your first box + free gift → tiege.com/pat Interested in sponsoring The Pat McGann Show?

Jeff Mauro, the Sandwich King himself, is back on The Pat McGann Show for the first time since Episode 8, and this time he’s got frozen pizza.

Ben Bradley has spent the better part of three decades getting Chicago politicians to explain things they clearly did not want to explain. How do you get a mayor's office to admit a deal is coming? You file the paperwork, and then you show up.  The WGN investigative reporter and Emmy winner joins Pat and Dwayne Kennedy to talk about learning the trade from Chicago TV legend Chuck Goudie and building a career out of Freedom of Information Act requests. They get into taxpayer-funded credit cards, a red light camera bribery scheme that took down a string of suburban officials, and why some Chicago high schools have quietly dwindled to a few dozen students.  This is an episode filled to the brim with big laughs and crazy stories you won’t want to miss.  🎧 New episodes every Thursday — filmed at Tiege Hanley Studios in Chicago.  🔗 Follow The Pat McGann Show: Instagram: @thepatmcgannshow TikTok: @thepatmcgannshow Apple Podcasts & Spotify: The Pat McGann Show 🎤 Co-Host: Dwayne Kennedy Instagram: @dwaynetkennedy 🎤 Guest: Ben Bradley Instagram: @benbradleytv 💚 Sponsored by Tiege Hanley — Get 40% off your first box + free gift → tiege.com/pat Interested in sponsoring The Pat McGann Show?

How many signatures does it take to get on the ballot for mayor of Chicago? Turns out it's 12,500, and you're not allowed to collect a single one before July 28th. Liam Stanton, candidate for Mayor of Chicago, joins Pat McGann and Dwayne Kennedy to talk about his campaign, City Hall's finances, and what separates him from a crowded field of career politicians.  Stanton grew up in Rogers Park as the youngest of eight, and his grandfather immigrated from Ireland to clean streetcars before his dad became a Chicago cop. He also opens up about his brother Tom, who runs the Danny Did Foundation and its work on childhood epilepsy. Along the way: a scammer trying to con his wife out of a nominating signature, the parking meter deal nobody's forgiven, a pitch to hold debates over Italian beef, and Friends of the Parks getting called out (again).  FIND OUT HOW YOU CAN WIN $1,000 AT Tiege.com/10years 🎧 New episodes every Thursday — filmed at Tiege Hanley Studios in Chicago.  🔗 Follow The Pat McGann Show: Instagram: @thepatmcgannshow TikTok: @thepatmcgannshow Apple Podcasts & Spotify: The Pat McGann Show 🎤 Co-Host: Dwayne Kennedy Instagram: @dwaynetkennedy 🎤 Guest: Liam Stanton Instagram: @liamstantonchicago 💚 Sponsored by Tiege Hanley — Get 40% off your first box + free gift → tiege.com/pat Interested in sponsoring The Pat McGann Show?
