    Not Live with JB Pritzker

    Not Live with Lauren Scafidi | Episode 2: Governor J.B. Pritzker On Not Live, FOX Chicago talent Lauren Scafidi sits down with influential figures tied to Illinois to uncover the raw, human stories you don't normally see in rigid professional interviews. Think of it as the real conversation before the cameras are rolling. On this full-length second episode, Lauren sits down with Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker to look entirely past the policy and focus on the person. JB breaks down his real journey across 43 minutes of completely unfiltered dialogue: The Name: Why he goes by JB instead of J.R. (and the real story of the two uncles he was named after). The Roots: Growing up as a high school theater kid who intentionally floated between completely different friend groups rather than sticking to a single clique. The Hardships: Opening up about the devastating loss of his father and mother at a young age, and the stable environment of childhood friends that lifted him up. The Unfiltered Stories: Drinking a legendary "Blue Guy" at Kam’s before noon and introducing Maryland Governor Wes Moore to a Malört shot at the Wiener Circle. The Bears Stadium Saga: His raw take on the Chicago Bears stadium updates, why he refuses to put local taxpayers on the hook for a $9 billion privately owned franchise, and his temporary name for the team if they move across state lines. Dad Life vs. Governor Life: His obsession with hunting down left-on lights around the house, and how learning the phrase "That's fire" from his daughter inspired one of his favorite political punchlines. Takeaways from the Episode: "The biggest thing is to know what you don't know and be willing to ask for help." — JB Pritzker on leadership.
