A quick trip to Chicago
🕑 Added 2023-09-28 16:23:47 +0000 UTCA few months ago I found myself in Chicago at the same time as math YouTuber Matt Parker, and we decided to fire off a quick double feature episode about a very unfortunate deal that Chicago made with Morgan Stanley. It's in the edit bay now, but I wanted to give y'all an update on this mini episode.
Best,
Rollie

Never thought I'd see a Climate Town/Stand-Up Maths collaboration. I'm really excited to see it!

Bryan out here asking the hard hitting questions!
Rollie Williams
Probably the Sears tower because I made a popsicle stick version when I was a little kid
Rollie Williams
Thank you so much!
Rollie Williams
Honestly it was simultaneously hot and rainy for most of it. All in all, the architecture is UNREAL

1) Chicago Il, 2) Shoot, I need to travel more.
Rollie Williams
The sheer volume of hot dog accessories they have feels reckless.
Rollie Williams
Heyo, sadly it was a layover from a trip I was already taking for a funeral, so I didn't get to stay as long as I wanted. We didn't have any pizza, though I've been known to get down with a deep dish.
Rollie Williams
Oh rad! Thanks so much. How do you like it in there?

I'm looking for the full episode of "Who Even Are We?" and I can't find it anywhere. What gives, brah?
Bryan Blanco
Deep Dish or NY Slice?
Scoott
Neat!
Jared Necaise
Yup. I was just up there two weeks ago and those towers were on my list of things to see.
Darrell Wright
No questions… just keep killing it.
JONATHAN
Dude! How do you come up with a question like that that's SO on point?!
Scoott
Ooh is this the building from the Wilco album cover?
Igor
Wasn't there an HAI video about this a couple of weeks ago? Although I'm that your video would be above 50% interesting. Edit: these corncobs are *everywhere* - I recognized them from The Bear!
Ryan Slater
Oh, okay looks like there's that safety wire. Can't tell from Rollie's video. Funny that it was used in a movie. Never heard of the Hunter though.
Bennett Elder
What would the parking section of that building be repurposed for if the neighborhood became car free? Outdoor cafes?
Bennett Elder
That seems like a real workplace issue 😳

What does Chicago smell like this time of year?

White pickup next to your head is literally hanging over the edge. eek.
Ryan Slater
How do they prevent the cars from backing out of the building?
LavaHot
What's your favorite weird building in Chicago?
Devon Redekopp
Did you flick the bean while you were there?
Elliot Marshall
Goddamn people’s cars take up a lot of space. You’ve got to climb ten stories before you get to the lobby!
Chris McLaughlin
Your mustache is awesome. I mean it. You are doing great work!!
Jesper the End
How was Chicago for the 36 hours that you were there?
Nick Salve
Of all the Chicagos you've ever visited, which was your favorite? If you were to make a top 10 list of "Best Chicagos" Where would this particular Chicago rank?
Joe & Ana
Did you try a Chicago dog? How do you feel about having an entire garden on your hot dog?
Attercap
36 hours is not a long time to spend in any city, much less as one as diverse as my old home town. Most important Chicago question: did you have deep dish pizza and, if so, from which pizzeria?
Joshua Patterson
Hey that's my house! Next time if you wanna come up and check out Marina City inside lemme know!
