Since you guys are all stars inside of the one Chicago universe, we take it you all have fairly
0:10
strong opinions on all things Chicago. Well, today we're going to show you a few ranker lists all
0:14
about Chicago that were ranked by the public, and we're going to see if you think the public nailed it or if they need a bit of a re-rank. All right. All right, here's your first list
0:22
the best things to do in Chicago. We're at a disadvantage because you've lived in Chicago I've been here 17 years now, but that doesn't mean that I've appreciated things as much as you guys have
0:35
Like, it could very easily be that coming in as, you know, as newcomers are not here as often, you get to see it with, like, fresh eyes
0:42
Okay, so here's the list. Ten, Michigan Avenue Bridge. Nine, Picasso Sculpture Downtown
0:47
Eight, St. Patrick's Day Parade. Seven, Grant Park. Six, Lakeshore. Five, Portillo's Restaurants
0:54
Four, Museum of Science and Industry. Three, John Hancock Tower. Two, Chicago Theater
1:00
One, Buckingham Fountain. All right, so that is what the public thinks
1:04
but what we're here for is what you think. We should combine our forces
1:08
like become Captain Planet together and do it together. Oh, that's a great idea. Let's do it
1:13
But I want to be heart. Like, you know, I feel like... You want to be heart? I get it. Yeah, from Captain Planet, right
1:18
So you get to be water. Okay. And Nick... I'll take the last two, air and fire
1:23
Is it Earth? Earth. Earth, water, wind, fire, and heart. Because he's the little brown kid
1:29
I mean, that's really why. You've been here the longest, Joe. You can do number one
1:36
Ooh, good. I'm going to go with Lakeshore. It's a huge public swath of property
1:43
I think that's probably number one. I would agree with that. It's like 26 miles that cannot be built upon
1:48
It's just reserved for the parks, and I take advantage of it all the time
1:52
So now Marina, number two. Chicago Theater, I've seen Hannibal Buress perform
1:57
I've seen Amy Schumer perform there. I've seen so many wonderful things and I miss it
2:04
It's such a beautiful old theater too. Yeah, it's really great. That's number two
2:08
Museum of Science and Industry, for sure. Great choice. It a good one Chicago has a lot of museums and they always at the top of my list of what to do when I have free time The question is do I bring a little food into the midst with portillos Absolutely
2:22
Yeah. Because you can also get a cake shake. Yeah, which is pretty unbelievable
2:27
I've never been to any of them, sorry to say. What? You're missing out, brother
2:31
Shame. I know, shame on me. You know what? I'm going to do the St. Patrick's Day parade
2:36
I like it all right, though. I like it a little green. It's like, you know, people come, a lot of tourism, get your green beads
2:42
I don't know. It's fun. If you're a parade person, like it's like one of the best parades you could ask for
2:47
It's like, oh, I think bigger than like the one in Ireland. It's insane
2:52
Grant Park is next for me. Yup. It's good. I love the Picasso sculpture
2:56
I take that walk down Washington a lot and it's just this really cool, beautiful thing
3:02
I've also filmed two big scenes there. I'm going to go with the John Hancock after that
3:07
I think the John Hancock Tower is awesome. Awesome. And also, my wife and I took a picture there on our wedding day
3:13
which is like hanging just in the other room, which I love. So, John Hancock for me
3:18
One of the best views of the city from up there. Okay, Michigan Avenue Bridge is next, for sure
3:24
Wow, we're putting Buckingham Fountain. The opening of Married With Children at 10
3:33
All right, so you nailed the best things to do in Chicago, but now we're going to level things up
3:37
Here is a list of the best songs about Chicago. My oh my
3:42
At number 10, we have Take Me Back to Chicago by Chicago
3:46
Number nine, In the Ghetto by Elvis Presley. Number eight, Homecoming by Kanye West
3:53
Number seven, Chicago by Tom Waits. Number six, Sweet Home Chicago by Eric Clapton
4:00
Number five, The Super Bowl Shuffle by the Chicago Bears Shuffling Crew
4:04
Number four, Bad Bad Leroy Brown by Jim Croce. Number three, Lakeshore Drive by Aliotta Haynes Jeremiah
4:14
Number two, My Kind of Town by Frank Sinatra. And number one, Sweet Home Chicago by the Blues Brothers
4:22
Here we go, folks. I don think we can move Sweet Home Chicago anywhere else on the list It is so singularly Chicago Chicago It is created by creators of Chicago I think one might stay I agree The Super Bowl shuffle might take last place
4:42
That's one I've never heard. Okay, it's absurd. It's also terribly off tune
4:48
And it is not really meant to be. It's like a 1980s rap that was performed by them
4:56
You know what it is, Nick. You know the song. I have heard it. Yes
5:00
Compared to all of these songs by very accomplished musicians, I feel like the Super Bowl shuffle is probably going to be in last place
5:07
I'm going to say my kind of time. I think Sinatra should stay at number two. Yes, I agree
5:12
Yeah, I agree. I have a question. Is the band Chicago from Chicago
5:17
That's a great question. Because if they are, I don't think they should be left
5:21
They are from Chicago. They are. We've just got a word. They're from Chicago
5:26
Yeah, I heard it. I just heard it. Yeah. Okay. They got to move up on the list as far as I'm concerned
5:31
They're a fantastic band. For the fact that they're named Chicago, let's give them third place
5:36
Let's do it. I love this power we have. So Sweet Home Chicago by Eric Clapton
5:40
I love Eric Clapton, but it is a cover of the one we put at number one
5:45
So I'm not sure where that goes quite yet. Do you know Chicago by Tom Waits? I haven't heard that one
5:49
I don't know that one. But I do know Bad, Bad Leroy Brown by Jim Croce, and that's an incredible song
5:54
Okay. Agreed. So that is number four. Yeah, it's six. I would say anything from five through nine
6:03
because we know that the Super Bowl shuffle is 10. Interchangeable, frankly. All right. I'll go with that
6:09
Agreed. We know how to cooperate with one another. All right. Finally, we have one last list
6:13
that we think might be best suited for you all. This is a list of the best TV shows set in Chicago
6:19
Okay. In 10th place is Webster, followed by the Chicago Code. Eighth is Chicago Hope
6:25
Seven, Chicago Justice. Six, The Good Wife Five, ER Four, Shameless Three, Chicago Med
6:33
Two, Chicago PD And one, Chicago Fire Is that just because that's the order they went in
6:42
I want to know the same thing It's just hard to put these in order I mean especially when we trying to order our own shows I going to do a very controversial thing here And I not going to put Chicago fire in the first place I going to say ER because ER sort of is the birth of like
6:59
the one Chicago working man's drama, like the Chicago working man's drama, you know? And so
7:05
it's like, I think it gives you the map for the universe that Dick Wolf has built
7:10
Sure. And then now cut to Joe's screen goes black. Another screen god
7:17
Guys, I'm telling you, I think it's really going to be an exception. All right, so ER's first, Joe
7:26
I'm just throwing that out there as kind of like, you know, without the godfather, you don't have good fellas kind of a thing
7:33
You know, it's like, that's where I'm going. Yeah, okay, I can appreciate that
7:37
But fire is clearly a very close second, I think, is what I'm saying there
7:43
Marina, are we going to allow that, Marina? I refuse to answer on the grounds that I might incriminate myself
7:48
I'm just gonna watch you dig your own holes. You're definitely on the cop show
7:54
I plead the fit. I did love Webster. I'll put Webster in two
7:59
Look, I don't care. I'm crazy. I'll put firemen and PD in like six, seven, and eight
8:03
Don't get me started. Oh, God. I'm just waiting for your screen to go black again
8:09
Me too. So right now, I think we have ER at one
8:14
maybe Webster at two, Chicago Fire, PD and Med somewhere in the six, seven, eight range
8:18
Oh, no, we have nothing at anything. You know what? I'm going to stick with the public's view
8:22
If this is what the public wants, then this is what the public gets. I agree. I'm very impressed with the list they came up with
8:29
Okay, unanimous. We bow down to the public. You nailed this list
8:35
We are going to keep it as is. Yeah, you guys nailed it. Okay, well, thank you so much for helping us re-rank our list today
8:40
Before we go, what is one Chicago-based list that we need to add to the Rinker Library
8:44
The best chocolate chip cookie in Chicago. Mmm, that is a good one
8:48
Joe, what do you think? I would say probably the best cocktail
8:52
though that must exist, but the best cocktail. I think there has to be a list of ranking architecture
9:00
Oh, great one. That's a great one. I thought mine was really great
9:04
Yours was fantastic. I'm sorry. It wasn't terrible
