Description

Comedian Marc Levalle tells a story about sneaking booze into Lollapalooza, having a great night, but then having to jump into action on the Red Line when a crack head starts menacing everyone on the train. Marc joins CJ and Sean in the studio and tells some more hilarious stories he's made since moving to Chicago (from Georgia), including how he became a passenger in a late night police chase. CJ and Sean share their own crazy train stories and wonder who is crazier- the Chicago train employees or passengers? We also talk about how passengers in Europe are upset about new alcohol restrictions on trains and how an American train conductor would not last one shift in Japan, where they are famously strict about their arrival times. We also mention the mysterious death of base great Ed Delahanty who died after being ejected from a train due to drunken disorderliness.

The Blackout Diaries is a comedy show where standup comedians, plus 'regular' people (cops, firefighters, teachers, etc) tell true drinking stories. The live show has run weekly in Chicago for over ten years and has been a critics' pick by all major Chicago periodicals. The podcast is hosted by Sean Bair-Flannery and CJ Sullivan, two standup comedians and friends who have been featured on Comedy Central, Sirius Radio, NPR and more. They have over 30 years of standup experience between them and about 800 missed flights.
