-So, who's ready for some "One Chicago" fun facts?
-I am. Joe, Marina, we've got a list of facts,
and it is our job to guess who the fact is about.
-Now, for example, I didn't know that Nick
had such incredible decorating skills, but clearly he does.
But we do like to get to know each other pretty well,
so let's just see if we can put that to the test.
-I'm ready.

"I love music, and I play the guitar."
Clearly Nick.
He's my neighbor, and I'm constantly being like,
[stomping] "Nick, shut up!"
-I've played music with your daughter, Marina.
-Alright, alright, alright.
"I eat a cookie or a donut with my coffee every morning."
-Yeah, I mean, that's clear, I feel like.
I feel like we all knew who eats the cookie and the donut.
-"My favorite food is my mom's cooking."
That's got to be Joe.
-I mean, by process of elimination.
-The last one. -I'm smart. I'm smart!
No, Joe. I'm smart. -[ Laughs ]
-Was it you?
-Yeah, it is me. Yes.
-Okay. What if it wasn't? -I mean, I hope it's me.
I would like to think it's both of you as well,
but clearly your parents don't know how to cook.
-[ Laughs ]
-I do have to stick up for my mother at this point.
-Okay. -She's phenomenal.
-I don't. My mother does something called "garbage soup,"
and she takes everything from the fridge,
'cause she hates wasting food, and she just dumps it in a pot.
And then when she's done, she goes,
"Will you taste this for me?" [ Laughs ]
-Joe, what do you love about your mom's cooking?
-You know, well, I think first of all,
there's that secret ingredient that all mothers
kind of put in a specific meal. -Garbage?
-Yes, garbage. Yeah. Well, in your case.
That's your secret ingredient.
I don't know what my mother's was.
But, yeah, there's just that element of home, right?
But, I mean, ultimately, she made this kind of spaghetti
with chicken that was unreal.
And I can't find that particular recipe anywhere,
so it really brings me back home whenever I get to taste that.

-Alright. Here we go. "I like to do woodworking."
"I lived in Chicago prior to being on 'One Chicago.'"
"I have all my Christmas presents
and friends' birthday presents
wrapped up and ready to go a full year ahead of time."
-I got this. I got this.
Like, I feel like -- I mean, Nick, by all means,
this is clearly yours.
But this feels like...
We all know, right?
-Okay, so, here we go.
"I have all my Christmas presents
and friends' birthday presents
wrapped and ready to go a full year ahead of time."
Marina, that's you.
-Oh, yeah. Big time. Big time.
-I'm gonna pan -- My house is a mess, but I'm gonna pan to my --
what I call my John Malkovich door,
and inside of that door is just presents.
Ready?
-But, now, here -- So, you --
A year in advance -- That's amazing.
I love that you're actually giving us the visual.
You pack all of these gifts.
So, what happens if you find, like, a better wrapping paper
that's more appropriate for that person in that given year?
Or a better gift even, for that matter?
-Then it'll go to the next year.
-So, sometime, at some point, for example,
when I get a Christmas gift from you,
it could've maybe been from, like, five Christmases ago?
-Yes, I actually bought Nick's wife her present
about a year ago,
and I wrapped them up, and then my mom was like,
"Do those age well?"
And I was like, "Actually, I don't know,"
and I had to Google it. [ Laughs ]
-Wow. See? Okay. See? We're learning things.
-When you live on the edge, listen, I'm like the James --
-On the very organized edge, when you --
-When you live on the OCD edge, you [indistinct].
-[ Laughs ]
-Okay. So, guys, can we get back to it, please?
I like to digress like anyone else, but here we go.
So, I like to do woodworking. -Yeah, we know.
-And I think, Joe, you may like to do woodworking as well.
That could've been a coincidence,
but I did not live in Chicago
prior to being on "One Chicago,"
so I know that's you.
-No, it's also me.
-It's also you, Marina?
-Well, it is me, yeah.
-So, it could be either one of us, so we won't dig that up.
We're not -- America's just gonna have to guess,
like, which one of us
this particular question is referring to.
-Well, we already saw the present door.
-True. -Marina's out.
It's you, Joe, and I like to do woodworking."

-Okay, so here are my three, ladies and gentlemen.
Number one, "I have a pit bull named Bugsy."
Number two, "I like to watercolor, and I'm terrible."
And number three, "I once shared a glass of tequila
with the Prince of Monaco."
And, so, let's see here. -Wow.
-Well, clearly -- And this is just because of tone
and ending with "I'm terrible,"
I'm gonna say the watercoloring is Marina.
-Um, ending with "I'm terrible" is a dead giveaway for Marina?
That's... -It's not the "terrible" part.
It's the fact that you ended by saying it.
You're, like, the queen of self-deprecating humor.
-As a human being with ears listening, this is what I heard.
"Since you ended with 'I'm terrible,'
I'm gonna have to go with Marina."
-I'm just saying that you clearly understand your brand,
and that's what you're bringing,
and I really -- It's awesome.
-Marina, I've seen your watercoloring,
and I don't think it's terrible.
-I don't think it's terrible.
-[ Laughs ]
-Alright. Alright. -Okay.
So, you know, clearly since
I'm the owner of the pit bull named Bugsy,
Nick was the one that shared -- not only shared but purchased
the bottle of tequila that the Prince of Monaco sipped on,
so, you know...
-You know, that was a good --
That was a fantastic moment in Monaco.
-Oh, top 3 to 20 moments of my life.
-What's one and two? -Huh?
Marrying my wife, clearly,
and being a part of the "One Chicago" family, duh.
-Ay-oh! Ay-oh!

-Those facts were, indeed, quite fun.
