I barely got through the first episode. I was born and raised in Humboldt Park… the inner city of Chicago in the 80s. I’m third generation Chicagoan on my mothers side and first generation American on my Mexican father’s side. The stories that you tell and could tell would be much more interesting if you left your politics and your personal opinions out of them.. you sound like these Gen Z woke fucks. You guys basically lived in the suburbs and I don’t think either of you even live here now. Neither of you should be representing anything Chicago.
