Meet Us At Molly‘s

We decided to keep it casual this week and catch up with one another. This week, we’re discussing the recent con in Chicago held by Epic Events & Entertainment, the ongoing SAG-AFTRA and WGA strike, summer TV and more!

If you know anything about the current WGA strike, then you know a big part of what they’re fighting against is AI. In this week’s episode, we decided we would highlight how bad AI is and why we cannot allow it to replace the writers. We took various One Chicago scenarios that our listeners sent in and plugged them in to ChatGPT. We then re-enacted the ridiculous scenes that it spit out. While most of them are so bad they’re funny, it was really important to us that we used this episode to prove why now more than ever we stand with the writers.

Summer hiatus is in full swing and we’re back with a little bit of a different episode. In addition to discussing the latest news and what we’re watching on TV, this week we’re talking about One Chicago characters and their love languages. Do you agree with our choices? Let us know!

And in case you missed it, we talked last week with LA County Firefighter Dushone Roman, who can also be seen in NBC’s newest docuseries LA Fire and Rescue. They talk about how he became a firefighter, what it was like being filmed on the job for 6 months, what it is about firefighting that makes for such a compelling drama on television, Chicago Fire (obviously) and so much more!
