Another joke that Amy can tell while at "Second City": What did Willie Nelson say when he tripped and fell to the ground? (Answer): "I'm on the road again"..........Thank you. Thank you very much. You're a great crowd. I'll be here all week. 😃

No matter what you cover the videos are awesome. It's your personality that really makes it great, you, your wife and pops are all just awesome. Rare to find such good quality people that are naturally likable. What an amazing life to live seeing and exploring so much with the people you love and care about. I envy the experience's and can only hope to cover 1/10th of everything you do. Tell pops to adopt me lol.

Aww. I'm a Chicagoan who follows your channel for all of my trips out west. It's great to see you guys visit our city. The Museum of Science & Industry is always amazing, but especially around Christmas time. If you visit in the summer, I'd recommend kayaking on the Chicago river and visiting Museum Campus (Field Museum of Natural History, Shedd Aquarium, and the Planetarium), both of which offer great views of downtown. I'd definitely recommend trying a tavern style thin crust pizza next time, as well as food from our various neighborhoods! Chicago is a major foodie city for sure.

Loved seeing Amy in your video! It's so great that she could travel with you. I also enjoy seeing your relationship with Pops. You are a "rich" man with a fun lifestyle and wonderful people in your life. The people in your life make you rich in ways that cannot be measured by money. 🙂

Great to see you filming with your wife, of course I love your videos with Pops too. You all have great camera presence and your banter is fun!

Thank you for a Christmas Day treat. I do miss some of these areas but now enjoy what AZ offers as we age. Nothing better than lots of sunshine and no gloomy weather. I do miss the deep dish pizza but I make my own for the past 40 years which I found the recipe in Chicago Tribune. Still a favorite. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

I would not have done it anyway.😳 I really liked the Museum of Science and Industry also. Even though, I am only a few hours away, the weather is very Spring like here. It is almost creepy.

Try Beggar's Pizza, it is so delicious it ruined all others for me! That pizza looked amazing, too. Pops, wouldn't even go up let alone on stepping out! I'd go up, but not step an inch on to the clear landing... or, look down! The hots dogs are good, I love them too!

It's going to be a little different every year, because the weather can be so radically different. Some years they have two feet deep of blowing snow and single digit temps. This year was unusually warm and rainy with little snow so far. Weather will have a big effect on the crowds and the comfort, especially the walkability. Iv'e been to the Science and Industry Museum a dozen times and I've still only seen 2/3 of it. There's also a Natural History Museum, and world class aquarium and planetarium (although they are expensive), as well as the Art Museum and a dozen+ others, like Jewish and Black History Museums. I wouldn't want to live there, but I sure like visiting. Navy Pier is a big shopping and Ammusement Park. In the summer their are food fests, air shows, outdoor concerts and river boat tours that go out onto Lake Michigan, plus Cubs baseball! I live 3 hours away, but go into Chicago two or three times each year, usually taking guests.
