In this 179th episode of “Elton Jim” Turano’s “CAPTAIN POD-TASTIC,” Jim Turano takes a bow for his recent Chicago sports predictions five weeks ago — the Cubs releasing manager, Joe Maddon, and the Bears having a 7-9 season and missing the playoffs.

And in the “Pop Culture Club” segment, Jim and regular contributor, Emily Armanetti, discuss SNL’s Pete Davidson continued impressive dating prowess.
