Pete Schwaba and Greg Bach kick around the night’s biggest stories with their usual mix of sarcasm and side comments. They joke about the marathon State of the Union, get a laugh out of Chicago’s creatively named snowplows (including the very on-the-nose “Abolish Ice”), and debate this year’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominees — with artists like Pink and Shakira sparking some strong opinions.

They’re also joined by comedian and combat veteran Thom Tran, who talks about going from military life to stand-up comedy. Ahead of his appearance at the Fox Valley Veterans Council Prohibition Ball, Tran shares how he weaves his service experiences into his act and why humor can be such a powerful way to connect — and heal.
