About this episode

Nick Digilio welcomes Monica Eng to discuss various stories from Axios and revisits pop culture moments with Esmeralda Leon.

Nick welcomes Monica Eng to talk about a range of stories she’s been covering for Axios.com, including tipped minimum wage in Chicago, geriatric gymnastics, great happy hour deals around the city, the reopening of the beloved dance club Berlin, human composting, how to handle a flooded road, and more. Later, Esmeralda Leon joins Nick to revisit some pop culture moments from the 90s and 00s that probably should have stayed in the past. They get into things like French kissing Jar Jar Binks, the real dangers of Skydancers, the questionable haircuts and fat suits on Friends, and even Right Said Fred somehow being too sexy for their cat.
