Buzz and Juice are back from Episode 32! They break down the not so 'super' Super Bowl and give the latest on MLB free agency... Crickets... They highlight the 5 game win streak of the Blackhawks, try to figure out what the Bulls will do at the Trade Deadline and connect with Alex Pancoe, the man behind 'Peaks of Mind' who is raising money for Lurie Children's' Hospital through his climbs of some of the worlds toughest mountains!

Ep 32- The Not So 'Super' Bowl, Bulls At The Deadline & Alex Pancoe Climbs For A Cause

Alex Pancoe discovered he had a brain tumor at the age of 18. Years later, he's wholly dedicated to giving back to Lurie Children's Hospital, whose doctors saved his life. The most conspicuous way Pancoe's giving back? Mountain climbing. Like, serious mountain climbing: The Explorers Grand Slam, which includes climbing the highest mountains on each continent and cross country skiing the north and south poles. Over food from Michael's Hot Dogs in Highland Park (1879 2nd St, Highland Park, IL 60035), we discussed:  We had two jumbo dogs with everything... other than sauerkraut. Wait... sauerkraut?? No sooner do I unwrap my dog than I start losing ingredients in the Autobarn Mazda of Evanston's CX-9. Alex's brain tumor, discovered when he was 18. What's involved with the Explorers Grand Slam. Climbing Mount Everest. Pancoe's near-death experience in Colorado, which ended with a rescue from the High Altitude Army National Guard, who arrived in a Blackhawk helicopter: "I actually made goodbye videos to friends." 5 mountains down, 2 to go. Almost halfway to generating one million dollars for Lurie Children's Hospitals! Donations don't go to mountain climbing; they go directly to Lurie's research and pediatric brain tumor program. Car Con Carne is appearing live at the Autobarn Mazda of Evanston on 12/22 at 2pm! Join us for live music in a car! What to wear in Antarctica. What did climbing Kilimanjaro feel like?  Car Con Carne is presented by The Autobarn Mazda of Evanston

From a brain tumor to scaling the world's highest peaks: The good deeds of Alex Pancoe

From NBC Chicago -  When Alex Pancoe successfully beat brain cancer nine years ago, he marked his victory in a death-defying and incredibly Chicago way. He embarked on a journey to climb the seven summits - the highest mountains on each of the seven continents – and fly a Chicago Cubs “W” flag at their peaks. And he did it all to help children battling cancer. Each time the expert-level climber summits, he raises money for brain tumor research and kids at Lurie Children’s Hospital. “Everyone [at Lurie Children’s Hospital] is climbing their own metaphorical Everest,” Pancoe said. “I don’t consider myself a very special guy, I’m just a hard worker. So, if I can climb Everest, I’d like to think it inspires people.” Now Alex joins us on Club 400 Radio!
