Meet Robert Bacon, creator of Shit Chicagoans Say
and self described delicious treat (although Arden can gladly attest
to that fact). In this episode, we admit we've been stalking (not in a creepy
way) him since episode 4, talk about the making of the video and find
out about life after 800,000 YouTube views. Bacon also confirms that we are not recording in a basement with a single microphone hanging from a laundry string (whatever that is), challenges the Shit Chicagoans Say
haters to call into the show and gives Chicago a talking to about the bike/car relationship.
And if you think we sound a lot better, you can thank our new audio
tech, Chris, who - among other things - turned our microphones the right
way. Seriously.

5 - IMPACT Chicago
Meet Martha Thompson, Director for IMPACT Chicago, a self defense program for women and girls. In this episode, Scott falls in love with Martha as we go Myth Busters on the world of women's self defense and find out that - spoiler alert - men and women are equal, butt-kicking can be fun and being able to protect yourself can make you more polite. We'll also protest the protest laws and learn how to fight hunger (one fork at a time?) at First Slice cafe. And yes, Arden finds a way to mention banana peels which is probably why she'll soon be replaced by Martha.
We forgot to take pictures - but we promise Martha is real and you can find her blog at http://marthathompsonsblog.blogspot.com'
