2024 GUNS N HOSES

SATURDAY, JUNE 22, 2024

Kansas City - MUNICIPAL AUDITORIUM

Since 2005, the Kansas City Metropolitan Crime Commission (KCMCC) has hosted the Guns N Hoses event that pairs our area's finest Police Officers, Fire Fighters and Paramedics to compete in sanctioned boxing matches that celebrate the strength, dedication and loyalty of these awesome men and women. This event benefits the programs of the KCMCC, primarily the Surviving Spouse and Family Endowment Fund (SAFE). SAFE provides financial assistance to the dependent families of first responders in SAFE's 12-county coverage area who are killed or suffer catastrophic injury in the line of duty. Often, insurance and other benefits can take weeks or even months to pay while the financial responsibilities for the family do not stop. One of the most important aspects of SAFE is the immediate financial assistance provided within 24-48 hours following the tragic loss of their loved one.

I share in this podcast the fun and excitement of writing my first susupense novel. Here is what it's about.

Comedian Charlie Ling seems to have it all. His posts on social media get millions of views. He travels the world, performing on cruise ships. He makes great money. He just married a gorgeous woman. Everything changes, though, when his new bride goes missing. Charlie gets drawn into a world of lust, deceit, organized crime, and international intrigue.

The ship where Charlie works, the Phantom Breeze, is also a hotbed of scandal and drama. Passengers on the luxury liner have no idea what goes on below deck and behind the watertight doors. Sex, extortion, drug smuggling and attempted murder are just the beginning, for officers and crew alike.

Rough Seas is a fun ride. The book takes readers on a fast-paced, exciting trip to Bangkok, Beijing, Myanmar, and Singapore, and into the dark underside of the cruise ship industry.

True North Health Center you co-created by Dr. Alan Goldhamer is the largest facility in the world that specializes in medically supervised water-only fasting. The center includes medical doctors, osteopaths, chiropractors, naturopaths, psychologists, research scientists, and other health professionals.

Dr. Goldhamer’s research has shed light on fasting’s role in adaptive cellular responses that reduce oxidative damage and inflammation, optimize energy metabolism, and bolster cellular protection. In lower eukaryotes, chronic fasting extends longevity, in part, by reprogramming metabolic and stress resistance pathways.

Water fasting reduces obesity, hypertension, asthma, and rheumatoid arthritis. Thus, fasting also has the potential to delay aging and help prevent and treat diseases while minimizing the side effects caused by chronic dietary intervention.

In this podcast I will share the “why” this is important to me, but maybe all of us.

After 46 years of experience being a professional comedian I, David Naster, knows how hard it is to do comedy for people who don’t know you – especially famous people.

This following message to Jerry’s family and friends shows his heart and soul. It was to let them know his annual Variety Show to raise money for many charities in the Kansas City Area, was coming to an end.

After much deliberation and prayer, I have decided that the 38th annual show will be the farewell show. I am deeply grateful for all the volunteers, performers, family members, Rockhurst High School and especially all of our patrons for making this such a great ride!

Our mission has always been four-fold. The first part was to gather friends and family together to enjoy fun, food and fellowship with one another. Second was to increase the awareness of the charities the Viviano Variety Show has supported over the years. Third was to raise dollars so these agencies could continue their charitable work. Perhaps most importantly, the last purpose was to motivate everyone in the theatre to reach out and do something to help others - all in the name of Jesus Christ. We have truly accomplished this, but the mission to reach out and help our fellow neighbors should not end here. I pray that all of you, in your own way, continue to give of your time, talent and treasures to honor Our Lord and assist others in need. That is what we are called to do. It has been a great 38-year ride. Let this be a new beginning of giving to others. “

God bless you.

Jerry Viviano

All of his life Danan Hughes played multiple sports – football, basketball and baseball. It was in his second year in the Milwaukee Brewers farm system and just a year removed from being a third-round draft pick. Weeks earlier in 1993, the Kansas City Chiefs had made him their seventh-round draft pick.

Hughes pursued pro football, rising from practice squad member to team captain of the Kansas City Chiefs over a six-year career in the National Football League. And it’s why the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame proudly inducted Hughes with the Class of 2022.

As a Kansas City Chie,f Danan played from 1993 to 1998 as a wide receiver and punt returner, and was voted a team captain in his second through fifth seasons. Overall, he played in 85 games in an era when the Chiefs were a combined 62-27 and won three AFC West Division championships. Although Hughes contributed solidly as a wide receiver, his strong special teams play is what set the foundation for his career.

Since retiring, he has gone into broadcasting. He has been a part of the Big Ten Network’s & ESPN’s baseball and football coverage since 2008. He also has been a mainstay on the Chiefs’ local pregame and postgame shows since 2014. In 2020, he was promoted to an in-game analyst for the Chiefs Radio Network.

Care’s story and this podcast is for anyone facing adversity in life. It’s for those who have come to the end of themselves, struggling through circumstances far out of their control. Her message is of strength, hope, and how she overcame the odds to find the meaning in it all.

The Blindside Blues band just dropped their sixteenth album titled “XVI" via Jib Machine Records. Mike and the band just returned from their September tour in Poland, and he tells us how American Blues music connects with people all over the world. He also shares the importance music has had in his life. When I first heard Mike sing, I thought it was Jack Bruce from Cream. Mike Onesko soulful voice is the heart of the Blindside Blues Band sound.

Mike was discovered in the clubs of Martin County, California by Shrapnel records president Mike Varney. Shortly after, Onesko formed the Blindside Blues Band with Scott Johnson on guitar, Gregg Chaisson on bass guitar and, Racer X frontman and Badlands drummer, Jeff Martin on drums. The band put out three records with this lineup. Although Gregg played on the records he never did any live shows with the band. That duty was filled admirably by Kier Staeheli. The last Shrapnel lineup for the Blindside Blues Band was Mike Onesko, Mike Varney, Aysnley Dunbar, James Lomenzo.

Onesko went on to Comet Records in Italy to record many records such as "Mike Onesko's Guitar Army", "Smokehouse Sessions", "Live At The Torrita Blues Festival, Italy", as well as "Voodoo Crossing" and "Gypsy Blood" (both Jimi Hendrix tributes).

Frank Hayde joins the YJHTL podcast with his latest book, “Mafia Dreams - A True Crime Saga of Young Men at the End of an Era in Kansas City. The ruthless and powerful crime family that reigned in Kansas City appeared to be on its last legs in the 1990's. But the Mafia life still called to a cadre of young men with gangster ambitions, and the FBI was still aggressively pursuing the organization that would stubbornly survive into the next millennium.
The Mafia and the Machine is Frank’s first book. The story of the American Mafia is not complete without a chapter on Kansas City. The City of Fountains has appeared in The Godfather, Casino, and The Sopranos, but many Midwesterners are not aware that Kansas City has affected the fortunes of the entire underworld.

Edward John Hearn was an American professional baseball catcher who played for the New York Mets and Kansas City Royals of Major League Baseball from 1986 to 1988. He won the 1986 World Series with the Mets.

In 1992 Ed was diagnosed with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. He immediately underwent a kidney transplant and was required to take several types of medication on a daily basis. Due to the debilitating effects of the disease, and mood swings caused by the medication, in 1993 Hearn almost committed suicide, but was able to fight his way past it through faith and a chance request for him to give a motivational seminar. Finding a renewed strength, Hearn struggled on despite being treated for skin cancer twice, undergoing three more kidney transplants, and being diagnosed with sleep apnea (requiring mechanical assistance to breathe while sleeping) - all of which forces him to take more than fifty types of medication on a daily basis.

The clown’s mission is to bring chaos and fun to the serious adult world. Sprinkled in that playful is the caring for others who could a good jolt of joy. And that’s what e will do. In this podcast I share the meaning of the jokester and the importance of being playful.

Blake Clark is a veteran of the Vietnam War, having served as a first lieutenant in the United States Army with the 5th Infantry Division.[2][3] During his time in the army, Clark was also a member of the 101st Airborne Division known as the "Screaming Eagles."

Blake has been cast in numerous Adam Sandler films including The Waterboy, Little Nicky, Mr. Deeds, Eight Crazy Nights, 50 First Dates, I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry, Bedtime Stories, Grown Ups, and That's My Boy. He has also made guest appearances in numerous television series, including Home Improvement, Boy Meets World, The Jamie Foxx Show, The Drew Carey Show, Girl Meets World, and Community. He was also Fred the chauffeur in Remington Steele.

Starting with Toy Story 3, Clark has voiced Slinky Dog in the Toy Story franchise, in place of his close friend Jim Varney, Slinky's original voice actor in the first two films, who died of lung cancer. When Toy Story 3 was still in production after Varney had died, Pixar searched for someone who sounded like Varney and fortunately found Clark, who "very much captures the essence and spirit of Slinky Dog's character.

Blake is a very funny guy and still to date, has the longest applause break as a comic on the Tonight Show. (Johnny Carson era)

In the last 28 years, Patch has created 50 presentations and performed them in 70 countries. He’s spoken at 90 medical schools in the US and many more around the world. Over the course of the last two decades he’s been on the road for 200-300 days of the year.

In 1985, he took a group of people on a clown trip to what was then the Soviet Union. Equipped with colorful clothing and compassion we visited hospitals, orphanages, homes for the elderly as well as just clowning on the street. Since then, these trips have been an integral part of Gesundheit´s global outreach. Apart from returning to Russia every year there have been clown trips to all corners of the world, including visits to war zones, refugee camps and natural disaster sites. We´ve also built clinics and a school at some of the places we´ve visited. I go on six or seven of these trips yearly. They are the sweetest healing work I get to do while I wait for the hospital.

On an ordinary Wednesday on July 13, 2011, Kelley woke up to a new life as a widow at age 39, after learning that her 46-year-old husband Don had gone into sudden cardiac arrest and died about one hour after arriving at work. Since that day, it has been Kelley's mission to help others survive and thrive through their losses, and to change the conversations we have as a society surrounding grief and loss. Kelley's TEDx talk: "There is no such thing as Moving On" has reached viral status at 3 million views and counting. Kelley speaks globally about death and life with a twist of comedy and is a featured speaker at the Soaring Spirits "Camp Widow" events, where she finds the funny inside of the pain with her comedic presentation.

Kelley runs a weekly virtual peer support group for widowed people on the Circles app, co-leads several widowed support groups locally, is the Sunday writer on the SSI blog "Widows Voice.", and has most recently started her own practice as a certified grief counselor, working both in person and virtually. You can check out all things Kelley at her website: www.akelleylynnlife.com

In our second interview with ‘Brother’ Mark Farner, he shares where his love of music and family started. Mark also shares about Farner Chords. This will end any and all confusion as to what chords Mark used or how he played some of his compositions. You will also get to know even better the cool guy Brother Mark Farner truly is and how he loves to grow and talk garlic. Now for some background on Brother Mark :

Legendary all-American frontman and guitarist, Mark Farner, was the engine that pulled the original Grand Funk Railroad repeatedly to the top of the charts, and today he’s a platinum recording artist 30 times over. At age 70, Farner commands the stage with the same intensity and outpouring of love as he did during the summer of ’69 and his fans are still flocking to see “the Captain.” The rock patriot’s synergy and open heart still come through in epic hits that defined a generation including— “I’m Your Captain” (Closer to Home)” “We’re An American Band” “Heartbreaker” “Bad Time To Be In Love” and recut covers of “The Loco-Motion” and “Some Kind of Wonderful.” Being viewed as a “Rockstar” is only one facet of the legacy of this Michigan-born son. Mark is as real as they get: he’s a husband, a father, and grandfather, and in his fourth decade of marriage to wife Lesia. He’s a true family man.

Bryan Kelley’s tells his story of how he got a life sentence, how he got paroled and how he is free today, healing the world. Bryan serves as the CEO of the Prison Entrepreneurship Program (PEP), an innovative social enterprise that unites business executives and inmates through entrepreneurial passion and servant leadership to transform lives, restore families and rebuild communities. He wholeheartedly believes that everyone—even felons—are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, among them are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. As an ex-felon and graduate of the program, Bryan leads the way for others like him to find a purpose-filled, productive life.

Bryan Kelley has a BS in psychology from Sam Houston State University. He is a business owner/entrepreneur, advisor, mentor, and is currently serving on the governing board of One Man’s Treasure. He is an elder of TheMET Church in Houston, Texas. He is also a speaker and prison-reform advocate giving voice to our marginalized multitudes who wear the scarlet letter of ex-felon. Bryan is an example of what can happen when a soul in prison decides to quit being part of the problem to trust God and become part of the solution.

Over the past 50 years Dr. Lynn Mickleson has collected thousands of inspirational quotes and stories from many sources. It became clear there was a real need to put them all in a book to help people in these difficult times . . .thus began the book “The Good News File – Hope For A Modern World.”

Early in his life he learned the power of positive thinking from such luminaries as Norman Vincent Peale, Dale Carnegie, Napoleon Hill and Reverend Robert Schuller. He realized that both good and bad things happen to all of us on a regular basis. When something good happens we feel happy for a short while then our minds drift back to the more painful problems in our lives. He then realized he needed to write these good things down or he would forget them. Thus was born the concept of the Good News File.

He is also quite revealing of the real Rob Carson in this podcast, and that my friends is why I love to talk with him. Rob is real, honest, funny and smart.

“Don’t come, I’m leaving town” is the text Alex read that saved his life. Yes, Alex did walk away from a former life of associations with numerous gangs and an outlaw motorcycle life. This podcast is raw with no-holes barred. It is honest and real as Alex takes you into the dark world of drugs, gangs and addiction. And just so you know, this isn’t any Hollywood romanticized rubbish.

Alex was a drug addict. Today he is a grateful recovering drug addict with two beautiful boys that light up his life. There are a lot of laughs and tears in this podcast as 50-year-old Alex shares his story for the first time.

It was the following words that got him going and keep him going and it was a message from God, “Put as much energy in getting clean as you did in getting high, and watch what happens.”

small village of Muhavur in South India, apply Siddha, India’s oldest system of traditional medicine, to heal and support local villagers. These early experiences inspired him to pursue the study of modern systems science, information technology and eastern and traditional systems of medicine to develop an integrative framework linking eastern and western systems of medicine.

Tom actually went on to sue his abuser and won.

This was a very important podcast for Jennifer and Tom. They were both physically and sexually abused as children. This is the first time they have talked about it on a public forum. The reason?

Both Jennifer and Tom explain what they went through and how they continue to deal with it and work through it. Tom actually went on to sue his abuser and won.

Danny Edwards book, DRIVEN - The Danny Edwards Story is a great read and fascinating about a self-taught golfer who went on be compete against the best in the world. Danny is a lifetime PGA Tour member and the creator of The Chipping Equation. As a pro, Danny won 20 tournaments worldwide including 5 PGA Tour championships. He was recently selected as one of the Top 100 Professional Golfers of The Modern Era.

He had a dual career in two professions that are about as far apart as they could be and he loved them both. Racing was a very exhilarating, physically challenging endeavor where golf was slow and precise. It was a very interesting marriage of careers.”

If you’re going to drive a race car, you’ve got to be on prime alert and have tremendous coordination. Danny was intense about racing, and he knew cars and machines and was really talented at it. Edwards had met Roger Penske and become a part of his team. He won two Midwest Division National Championships, in the highly competitive Formula Ford class, in 1984 and ’85. He drove a Mustang LX for Kaufmann Racing in the World Challenge Series – formerly the Escort Endurance series – and a Sports 2,000 Swift for the Pfeiffer-Ridge team of Sonoma in the American City Racing League.

In the summer of 1988, after 14 years on the PGA Tour, and never losing exempt status, Edwards stepped away from competitive golf and founded Royal Grip Inc., in Scottsdale, Arizona. The company would become its own revolution in advancing and improving perhaps the most essential piece of golf equipment. Then Danny turned his attention to the business world. In 1998, Edwards became CEO of GreenFix Golf, a company that manufactures a tool that enables players and maintenance crews to repair ball marks to golf greens. In 2019, he founded The Chipping Equation, a revolutionary yet simple system that is geared to helping golfers of all abilities learn and perfect one forgotten yet key segment of the game.

Paul Craig joins the YJHTL to talk about the importance how Guns N Hoses has grown into one of the largest fundraisers for the Crime Commission's SAFE program. They are proud to share that the family benefits have progressed from $3,000 when we began in 2005 to $25,000 today, thanks in part to events like this and all of our dedicated boxers, volunteers and patrons.

SAFE provides financial assistance to the dependent families of first responders in SAFE's 12-county coverage area who are killed or suffer catastrophic injury in the line of duty. Often, insurance and other benefits can take weeks or even months to pay while the financial responsibilities for the family do not stop. One of the most important aspects of SAFE is the immediate financial assistance provided within 24-48 hours following the tragic loss of their loved one.

Great People – Great event – Great service.

Unhindered by juvenile glaucoma that took his sight at age 17, David Westbrook has proven that vision has nothing to do with one’s ability to see. He founded Corporate Communications Group, a communications and public relations firm he sold before taking his talent and dedication to longtime client Children’s Mercy where he served as Westbrook currently serves as senior vice president for strategy and innovation at Children’s Mercy. His expertise in strategy design and crisis management has been recognized by The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, the Christian Science Monitor, NBC, CBS, ABC and PBS.

“One of the things it's caused me to identify are certain talents that have to do with the way I can communicate with people, sense what people need and want, what their concerns are," said David Westbrook.

"I really believe we're never given a challenge that exceeds the talent we've been given to deal with that challenge. In my life, that's been the case. Blindness, which many people would think was a burden, to me, has become an asset,"

David attributes his lifetime of success to his parents and to the University of Missouri-Kansas City. His alma mater awarded him with an honorary doctorate at the 2018 College of Arts and Sciences commencement ceremony which he gave the address to the graduating class at Swinney Recreation Center on campus.

Yes I just turned 70 and I have have things to say about life, humor and the state of the internet.

Thanks for listening!

"I'm sorry. There were no survivors." Nancy Saltzman tried to absorb the caller's words. Her entire family had perished in a small plane crash. The caller was wrong, though. There was a survivor—Nancy would have to go on living. She had beaten cancer twice, but how could even the most resilient spirit live through this ultimate loss?

Nancy shares her struggle as she overcame despair through a deep sense of purpose—learning that through time, friendship, and love, the heart can make room for both loved ones lost and happiness found. With the added richness and insights of letters Saltzman received, as well as her sons' journal entries, Radical Survivor (Nancy's book) traverses the full spectrum of human emotions, offering a compelling gift of hope.

Jonah Nelson from Family Tree Nursery joins the YJHTL Podcast once again to explain why everything comes from trees. A fascinating and very insightful take on planet earth.

There is a great deal of magic involved with comedy and there is a lot of good comedy involved in magic. In the case of John Ferrentino, that statement can be taken literally. The Long Island New York born and bred comedian has long been one of the most innovative forces on both the comedy and magic scene.

John’s career began working with Bob Nelson, Eddie Murphy, Jackie The Joke Man Martling, and Rosie O’Donnell. He went on to do numerous appearances on American National shows with his trademark catch phrase - Danger! Spooky Stuff Inside”

“Comic Strip Live” (14 appearances) “Comedy on the Road” (A&E) “Best of Comedy on the Road” “Sunday Comics” (Fox) “Stand-Up Spotlight” (VH-1) “Caroline’s Comedy Hour” (A& E 3 appearances)

“An Evening at the Improv” (A&E) “Showtime Comedy Club Network” (Showtime) “Comedy Tonight” (syndicated 8 appearances) “MTV’S Half Hour Comedy Hour ‘’ (MTV) Regular Guest at Hollywood’s World Famous Magic Castle

John was the opening act for Crosby, Stills & Nash &Young for over 10 years. What makes this podcast so much fun is John’s great showbusiness stories and experiences.

Dr. Lynn Mickleson was born in 1950 and raised in a steel town in western Pennsylvania. Blessed with a loving and supportive family he was able to achieve many of the goals in his early life. He earned his Eagle Scout award at age 14 and continued to use the important concepts he learned in scouting throughout his adult life. Service to others has always been his main goal – first in medicine, then in teaching others about the importance of hope and inspiration.

He graduated from Dickinson College in 1972 (BS- Biology) then spent five years working as a boatman on the Colorado River, managing an apartment, working in the Post Office and doing graduate work in Physiology at Penn State. Finally, after five years of medical school rejections (51 in total), he was accepted to Temple Medical School and graduated with his MD in 1981. After that he received specialty training in Emergency Medicine. From 1984 – 87 he served as a US Navy Flight Surgeon at NAS Key West. In 1990 he moved his family to Palmer, Alaska where he has lived since. After his ER career he had his own practice in Palmer for many years.

Early in his life he learned the power of positive thinking from such luminaries as Norman Vincent Peale, Dale Carnegie, Napoleon Hill and Reverend Robert Schuller. He realized that both good and bad things happen to all of us on a regular basis. When something good happens we feel happy for a short while then our minds drift back to the more painful problems in our lives. He then realized he needed to write these good things down or he would forget them. Thus was born the concept of the Good News File.

Over the past 50 years he has collected thousands of inspirational quotes and stories from many sources. It became clear there was a real need to put them all in a book to help people in these difficult times . . .thus began the book “The Good News File – Hope For A Modern World.”

Lisa deSouza

After attending the prestigious boarding school, Deerfield Academy, Lisa deSouza chose Columbia University to pursue her higher education. While living in New York City, Lisa also attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and The School for Film and Television. During the time she worked in the fashion industry, she also started her career as an actor in the off-Broadway theater scene. However, she soon learned that her passion (and strength) was in writing and directing.

After 25 productions, some of which won local awards Lisa soon found herself drawn to a new medium, the web. She moved to Los Angeles where she started producing and creating web content. Her work with many San Francisco Bay Area companies led her to take a seven-year hiatus from the “industry” while she pursued a successful career in the tech space. During that time Lisa established herself as a creative executive and digital media producer who made a career pushing the boundaries of content creation and interactive marketing.

However, her heart always yearned to be artistic. After selling her company and buying a ranch in Santa Clarita, CA Lisa found herself taking long hikes with her dogs or riding her horses (literally) into the sunset. Her time spent reconnecting with nature and (most importantly) herself resulted in her writing again. As with her days on stage, writing soon led to directing. “The Film” marked her directorial debut. Since then she has written, produced and directed three other shorts, seven commercials, two music videos and two web series. She is slated to direct (in 2023) two commercials, three music videos, a TV pilot, and a documentary. She is also in pre-production for a feature.

In addition to a very active tech consulting business (what pays the bills) and a production schedule, Lisa is the Founder and Executive Director of the Santa Clarita International Film Festival (SCIFF). Now going into year 3, SCIFF has already established itself as one to watch as it is growing rapidly, has five star reviews, and is incorporating, in addition to a film program, music, comedy, theater, visual arts and potentially a “taste of Santa Clarita'' in 2023. What Lisa is most proud of is SCIFF’s commitment to social issues. She has given many non-profits a platform to showcase their work by partnering them up with movies that speak to the good work they do. Finally, SCIFF is also committed to training and education and has partnered with Yes I Can Unity Through Music and Education (YIC Unity). SCIFF has developed a training program for YIC’s students and then gives these students internships on many of SCIFF’s projects.

Founder of Cars4hereoes Terry Kranz shares an amzinig story how a car given to Mandy Horvath sparked her life back to achieve major successes after she lost her legs in a train accident.

cars4heroes.org

Founder Terry Franz and Mike Van Noy owned Car Biz, a used car lot in Kansas City, Missouri. That year, there had been a lot of people looking to purchase a car to only be turned down by credit companies because they were out of work due to medical emergencies, family issues or other circumstances in life. That year around Christmas time, Terry and Mike gave away 6 cars to families that in the past had been denied. A few years later, Terry got out of Car Biz and started Cars 4 Christmas full time, earning him the nickname “Car Santa.” As time would go on, he saw the need in Kansas City increasing more and more and that is where Cars 4 Heroes came from. Now, Car Santa gives away over 300 cars a year just in the Kansas City metro alone.

For millions of Americans, the availability of public transportation is the determining factor in their ability to access jobs and any care they require. For a lot of those people, they either live outside the range of public transit or the places they need to go to are outside of public transit zones, forcing them to miss those opportunities. Forcing them to have to walk for miles to get where they need to be. Since 1996, we have been addressing that need.

There are other charities that sound very similar to ours, but we are different in one major way. The cars that get donated are given back to. We do not have cars donated, sell them and then buy other cars to give away or just give people money to buy a car, we give away what gets donated. Now, not every car donated is road worthy or may need major repairs and those cars are sold to help fix up other cars.

In now, our 4th podcast with Bernie, he continues sharing life lessons he learned from his patients. From ‘near death experiences to self-induced healing to loving yourself and the world, Bernie continues to inspire and entertain us.

For many, Bernie who is now 89 years old, needs no introduction. He has touched many lives all over our planet. In 1978 he began talking about patient empowerment and the choice to live fully and die in peace. As a physician, who has cared for and counseled innumerable people whose mortality has been threatened by an illness, Bernie embraces a philosophy of living and dying that stands at the forefront of the medical ethics and spiritual issues our society grapples with today. He continues to assist in the breaking of new ground in the field of healing and personally struggling to live the message of kindness and love. Bernie has been named one of the top 20 Spiritually Influential Living People on the Planet by the Watkins Review which is published by Watkins Books.

Alan Attridge is the founder and Chairman of MyShroom, a true visionary with a mission to help, heal, and serve. He has enjoyed careers as an entrepreneur, executive, research scientist, professor, lecturer, author, reporter, consultant and researcher in such diverse fields as cell biology, food and beverage manufacturing, consumer products, food science and nutrition, energy, software, hospitality, medical equipment, pharmacology and medicine.

The MISSION of MyShroom is “To rapidly enhance health through the use of our medicinal mushroom products. To achieve our mission we grow hybrid strains of medicinal mushrooms, formulate blends and disseminate these products into the healthcare market infrastructure. We provide education to bridge the gap between the research knowledge of our products and its use in clinical practice for alternative protocols.

All the scientists and collaborators involved have done extensive research, and some since 1971. The company’s formulas and products therefore have no direct competition because of the unique strains, proprietary formulas, organic substrates used, methods of processing and the quality standards for the growing and harvesting of the hybrid mushroom strains.

Most medicinal mushroom products are extracts made from mushrooms of unknown origins and grown on soil or unknown substrates. Soil and non-sterile substrates used in production increase the risk of viral and bacterial contamination, the incorporation of heavy metals and toxins, and higher product variability. The science behind the cultivation and blending of our medicinal mushrooms has been assembled by the Quantum Health Discoveries Institute, and is based on selected case studies from each collaborating university, research articles and peer-reviewed literature contained within the National Library of Medicine. This research is complicated by the fact that there are vast amounts of molecules found in the various species and hybrid new strains, making it literally impossible to know all of the mechanisms and pathways leading to favorable outcomes by ingesting these mushroom products.

Beginning in 1975 New Jersey State Trooper Bob Delaney went undercover to infiltrated the Genovese, Bruno and DiNorscio Crime families. Knowing all the while that a single slip could get him killed. Ultimately gathering enough evidence to convict 30 members of the Bruno, DiNorsico and Genovese crime families, Project Alpha was a success, but Delaney struggled with post-traumatic stress disorder and traces of Stockholm syndrome after getting too close to those he investigated.

In this third part of this podcast with Bob Delaney, he talks openly and honestly about his PTSD and the great work he is doing to help military, first responder and health care professionals. We talk about his book ‘Surviving the Shadows’ that is an uplifting journey through powerful and inspiring stories―marked by perseverance and personal courage―about an array of people who have suffered directly or indirectly from Post-Traumatic Stress. Delaney introduces you to medical experts who have developed groundbreaking methods in dealing with the disorder, and profiles one-of-a-kind programs around the country devoted to assisting PTSD sufferers.

We also talk about Bob’s soon to be released book, ‘Heroes are Human’ - Lessons in Resilience, Courage and Wisdom from the COVID Front Lines. This book is a must-read for health care workers who have been besieged by the ongoing pandemic, for those who love them, and for any reader wanting to gain a deeper understanding of their immense sacrifices and struggles. Heroes are Human also offers invaluable self-care insights in the face of trauma and gripping first-hand accounts by those thrust into the depths of the crisis.

In Part Two of this YJHTL podcast with Bob Delaney, he talks how he got to the level of NBA ref for 25 years. Bob also shares great stories that happened on the court with the world most famous NBA players and coaches you know. Bob officiated from 1987-2011 / 1500 regular season games / 200 playoffs games / 9 Finals / 2 All Star games / moved into NBA office and became Vice President Referee Operations Director of Officials - 30 year NBA career. Currently Southeastern Conference (SEC) Special Advisor Officiating Development & Performance.

Bob Delaney is a former undercover New Jersey state trooper and professional basketball referee in the National Basketball Association (NBA) Bob is a 1985 graduate of New Jersey City University with a Bachelor of Science degree in criminology. After finishing college, Delaney joined the New Jersey State Police. During the mid-1970s, Delaney worked as an undercover officer as part of an operation known as "Project Alpha".

His book ‘Covert’, is a riveting page-turner, NBA referee Bob Delaney reveals the clandestine life he led before becoming one of professional basketball’s most respected referees. In 1975, Delaney had spent only a year and a half as a New Jersey State Trooper when his superiors approached him with a tantalizing yet dangerous undercover assignment: to infiltrate the Mob. Delaney accepted, and became Bobby Covert, the president of Alamo Trucking, a fully-operational business used by law enforcement as flypaper for snagging crooks.
At the height of The Godfather era, Delaney wore a wire and lived among wiseguys who modeled themselves on their on-screen counterparts, quoting lines from “The Movie” and boasting of how often they’d seen it. Delaney even crossed paths with Joe Pistone, the real-life Donnie Brasco (though neither knew the other was undercover), knowing all the while that a single slip could get him killed. Ultimately gathering enough evidence to convict 30 members of the Genovese , Bruno and DiNorscio Crime Families. Project Alpha was a success, but Delaney struggled with post-traumatic stress disorder and traces of Stockholm syndrome after getting too close to those he investigated. Therapy helped him come to terms with all he’d endured during his three tense years undercover, and, once a college basketball star, Delaney began officiating high school and intramural games as a way to rebuild his life—eventually working his way up to the NBA, where he has been a referee for more than two decades.

“Covert” is available at: amazon.com

He lived up to his first-round status, being named the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year despite missing two games.

Baseball great Greg Pryor is a good friend. He texted me to tell me I spelled a word wrong in my book. It was actually the name of the man who hired him to play on the Chicago White Sox. The man’s name is Bill Veeck. I spelled it “Veck.” Greg simply let me know for my next printing. I didn’t interpret it that way. What happened next, is the beauty of the podcast. When we only hear and read words through our own “filter” it can cause damage to a friendship. But when we take the time to understand and admit we reacted through our own ‘filter’ and it wasn’t the best way to respond – your friendship can get closer. That’s what happened, and it was me who reacted like, well, rather childish. Hey, You Just Have To Laugh at yourself, and things can really clear up. This is great podcast in communication. Thanks Greg Pryor for your friendship and proof-reading skills. thedaytheyankeesmademeshave.com – Greg’s book

In 1965, Emilio Castillo took to music after he and his brother Jack were caught stealing by his father who told him he could stay in his room until he thought of something to 'Keep him off the street'. Castillo and his brother chose music. Emilio chose saxophone and Jack chose drums. He took lessons in saxophone, piano, and guitar, and also took lessons in music theory from one-time Dave Brubeck bass player Norman Bates. His first musical endeavor was in Extension Five which later became The Gotham City Crime Fighters due to the Batman craze at the time. He played both organ and sax. The group also consisted of his brother Jack on drums, Jody Lopez on guitar Frank “Rocco’ Houghton on bass (later going by the name of Francis Rocco Prestia), and Dave Getner on vocals. In March, 1966 they released the song "Who Stole The Batmobile" After seeing Bay Area soul band The Spyders, Castillo switched to saxophone and formed 'The Motowns' playing soul music covers. After meeting baritone sax player Stephen "Doc" Kupka Castillo switched, on Kupka's suggestion, to performing original material and the band changed its name to 'Tower of Power'. The band recorded their first album, East Bay Grease, in 1970. Castillo has been with the band ever since, as leader and 2nd tenor saxophonist. He and Kupka are also responsible for writing many of the band's best-known songs.

Emilio openly talks about the importance of getting sober and how that motivated him to live his life with principals first. His approach now with Tower of Power is, “I want people to say that we have super high musicality played by 10 principled men. His final story about playing with the Rolling Stones is priceless.

YJHTL sincerely thanks Emilio Castillo for sharing his heart and soul that has given the world 54 Funky years of Tower of Power.

In 2018, after noticing that her mother had become depressed facing Alzheimer’s, Dani Klein Modisett had the idea to hire a professional comedian to cheer her up. And it worked! The quality of the end of her mother’s life was transformed, thanks to the connection that was created through laughter. Her mother started eating again, joining in with her community, even singing. Dani sensed that this breakthrough would serve others. She wrote an article about the experience for AARP, and received hundreds of requests to connect comedians to loved ones around the world who were feeling isolated by Alzheimer’s. This inspired her to launch Laughter On Call, initially pairing comedians with Alzheimer’s patients and quickly expanding to training for healthcare workers and families in simple comedian’s tools to help mitigate feelings of isolation. Then COVID-19 hit and the whole world became isolated. Dani once again, had another light-bulb moment. Using the comedy prompts and Improv skills they relied on, she and her team developed virtual programming to give people around the world the comic relief they were craving. Laughter on Call programs are run by a diverse group of professional comedians who make the distinction between “laughing with” and “laughing at.” They use affiliative humor, proven to bring people together, lend perspective, and introduce levity to any situation. As the “sensitive” comedy company, they don’t exploit vulnerability or engage with sarcasm. They are committed to boosting morale and fostering inclusive environments, helping people create a strong and healthy foundation for freeing creativity and increasing productivity. laughteroncall.com

Mark proved his versatility when he joined the Braun Show. While he was performing on the Bob Braun Show, he was asked to open for the First Lady of Comedy, Phyllis Diller. "I love to refer to Mark Preston as my protégé", said Ms. Diller. "He has one of the strongest, most beautiful voices I have ever heard. He really gets to an audience.

Dan has a gift to bring you into life’s emotional struggles and make it funny.

Wait until you hear how Dan eulogized his father as he preached his funeral – so inspiring. Dan Hurst is an extraordinary human being, husband, father, grandfather and Ordained Baptist Minister. It was a pleasure and honor to sit and talk to my friend Dan Hurst for two hours and share the important and meaning things in life.

After being adopted at 10 months, Dan Hurst grew up in the Mission Fields of Honduras. His parents were missionaries. He wasn’t crazy about Honduras and speaks honestly about being there and that is where he was introduced to radio. But it was in college where he found God and THAT story is amazing.

Dan is quite candid about his life, his radio career and his beautiful insights on his faith and God. The joy of talking to Dan is that he is inspiring, funny and rock solid in his beliefs. Don’t miss Part Two as Dan shares some very funny stories about some not-so-funny situations

Every entertainer must listen to this podcast of how to keep your principals way ahead of your ego. The two most important things to Jay EuDaly, in this exact order are his family and having a guitar in his hand. This 90 minute podcast is as good as it gets when proving how important principals are over ego. Jay's dedication to his family and his music are at the top of the heap. His deep love for his family is reflected in his deep love for teaching and playing music. Here's how Jay describes himself. "I get to play the guitar all day, every day."

1. The practice of beekeeping is a 9,000-year-old tradition. Some of the world's first beekeepers were prehistoric farmers. Today, there are between 115,000 and 125,000 beekeepers in the US.

2. Bees may be able to differentiate between different human faces (kind of).

3. Honeybees communicate with each other via physical movements like head butts, which researchers say could mean "stop," and waggle dances that could signal where the nest is.

4. A queen bee can live up to five years. Workers for just five or six weeks.

5. Queen bees lay up to 2,000 eggs per day.

6. The average worker bee makes just one-twelfth of a teaspoon of honey over its entire lifespan.

7. Worker honeybees can fly up to 20 miles per hour (32 kilometers per hour).

Trumpet player, singer and tap dancer Lonnie McFadden has been a fixture in the Kansas City music scene since he was a teenager, often performing with his brother Ronnie. After five decades of entertaining, McFadden is experiencing something new, his own Jazz Club called Lonnie’s Reno Club. This jazz club in the Ambassador Hotel pays homage to the famous Reno Club that was once located at 12th and Cherry streets in Kansas City.

Lonnie grew up learning to play trumpet, singing and tap dancing which he does all of them in his shows at the club. Lonnie's show is arguably the best entertainment you can find in the city and has been described as a place where style, class, history and jazz meet.

In this podcast Lonnie talks about why Kansas City was known as one of the best Jazz towns in the 30’s and 40’s - all over the Unites States. He talks about Count Basie, Charlie Parker, Bennie Moten and so many more. Lonnie’s dad was a great part of the that jazz scene and was known as a great emcee and tap dancer. Lonnie tells the true story that happened in the late spring 1936, when Parker (15 years old at the time) played at a jam session at the Reno Club in Kansas City. His attempt to improvise failed when he lost track of the chord changes. This prompted Jo Jones, the drummer for Count Basie's Orchestra, to contemptuously take a cymbal off of his drum set and throw it at his feet as a signal to leave the stage. That only encouraged Parker to work even harder. Lonnie also explains how Parker at age 15 and 16 would go to club and club to play and learn, He was never discouraged, only stimulated to get better.

This is podcast is filled with Lonnie’s love of the history of Jazz, taught by his parents and how he is continuing that great tradition of Kansas City Jazz. In the closing words of this podcast Lonnie shares his heartfelt thoughts and feelings about Martin Luther King.

Google – Lonnie’s Reno Club and go out for a great night of exceptional entertainment.

For the first time, Storey shares her personal story for the need to be perfect, which led to eating disorders, countless sleepless night and a severely abusive relationship. She shares how she got in, stayed in and got out of this horrible relationship. Storey's intention to tell her story is to help others who have been through or have gone through an abusive relationship.

She continues to deal with that non-stop voice in her head that drives her to want to be perfect and care more about what other think about her, than how thinks about herself. Actually, we both laugh at that roommate we all have in our head that just won't move out. This podcast is honest, raw and vulnerable. We at YJHTL thank Storey for her willingness to not only share this very personal story, but trust us to share it with respect and care. Yes, there are some light hearted moments, even funny ones. But what we know to be true is when you can find the humor and laugh at 'it' you now own 'it' - 'it' doesn't own you. 'It' being the emotions that can and will paralyze one's life.

We also thank you, the listener, to also trust YJHTL to bring you subjects that may be uncomfortable at first, but by listening to the people who have been through it, can help and heal our emotional souls.

The two gentlemen I spoke with in this podcast are detectives in Raymore, Missouri. (pictured below) Corry is on the left and Jim to the right. What came across to me as I listened and saw the looks in their eyes, was their deep care and love for the people they serve. My friends, you can't fake that. The careful details they use in solving a case is the reality they deal with. What they see, hear and smell are the senses that stay with them and they explained how humor is one of their greatest survival skills to turn down the volume of those intense memories.

As I was walking out Jim told me, "There are no words that can describe the incredible value humor and laughing give us on relieving the stress of our job." Then he showed me cartoons or pictures of the other officers they altered to joke with each other. After leaving the Raymore Missouri Police department today, I realized who the REAL good guys are.

What a fun interview, and I thought I had a lot of energy. Gary talks about his new "100 day accurate" and he stress "accurate" weather prediction system, as well as his fascination of the weather.

Gary was also talks quite candidly about his partner, Andy and why it was important for him to share that with his thousands of viewers being one of Kansas City's most popular weatherman. Hold on, from start to finish Gary and I talk non-stop and it's a ball.

Purchasing a new or used vehicle should be an experience filled with pure excitement. Unfortunately, for most, this day is tarnished with nervousness, angst, second guessing and in many cases regret - the regret of not knowing if you got a good deal, or if you were taken for a ride (pun intended). Dealerships sell dozens if not hundreds of vehicles every month! Too often, the sales process includes the confusion of hidden fees, vague answers and the hurried, jargon-filled nature of the car business. It only makes sense to leave the negotiating to someone who has nearly 40 years of experience in the industry and won't be fazed by the wheeling and dealing.

That's where Chuck Morton and Car Dog comes in. When you are you ready to start looking for your next vehicle Chuck will help. He helped me find a great car, that's why I wanted him to do this podcast.

Kerry Smith's work is in Spirited Wellness. She is a Karuna Reiki Master, Medium and Psychic. In this podcast she explains all of the different work she does. As a part of this, she agreed to let me ask her questions about my life to show exactly what she does. She helped me understand why I didn't go to Thailand and my fear of cats. She then goes to the medium part and we communicated with my mother, father, grandfather and even an unexpected visit from my friend Ray, who have all physically died. What you are about to hear was amazing. She told me things from my father, mother, grandfather things they she had NO WAY of knowing. It brought me to tears and cleared up old unresolved issues that my mother, grandfather and fathers needed to tell me, that were important apologies they never told me when they were alive. Again, Kerry had NO WAY of knowing any of this. I must tell you, this reading cleared away old emotional blocks that I have had from each of them. Then Ray showed up and starts messing with my phone. What an amazing podcast.

A Scottsdale Culinary Institute grad, Mitchell Allen left Kansas City in 2009 after working in several popular restaurant kitchens including Yaya’s Euro Bistro, Grand Street Café, 40 Sardines and Bluestem. Ready to broaden his culinary horizons, he headed west to California and got a job working at culinary pioneer Roy Yamaguchi's Roy’s at Newport Beach. Here, he immersed himself in the restaurant's upscale Hawaiian-inspired cuisine, which blended formal French techniques with flavors from the Pacific Rim. It was an experience that stuck with Allen, and the influences of his time there can still be seen in his food today. After spending the past decade working as a private chef in California, Mitchell has amassed a rather dazzling résumé by anyone’s standards. The Kansas City chef has cooked all over the world, even spent a few years cooking on a private yacht.

Mitchell returned to Kansas City to help care for his father who had fallen ill. When COVID-19 hit, he was just glad to be somewhere safe. His father unexpectedly passed in June, and he was grateful for the time he had with him this year. The experience made him realize what else he was missing out on. “I have always loved traveling all around the world cooking for celebrities and on yachts; it is all very exciting when you are a young and single, but being here has made me realized how much I miss being close to my own family. I want to have a house and a dog like everyone else – something I couldn’t have when I was a traveling knife for hire.”

Want the chance to experience a private chef in your own home? Mitchell has launched a new in-home dining experience called Supper Circle, a three-course interactive dinner. You bring the wine and invite your friends, and he will cook and feed you a delicious three-course meal for $85 to $125 per person, depending on the final menu. The experience brings a chef and restaurant-quality food to you in your home, so you can safely enjoy a delicious meal with people in your own circle.

Mitchell’s main goal is to provide a culinary experience that is unparalleled with professional service, attention to detail and creative and flavorful menus that highlight dishes from all over the globe.

Harlan began broadcasting as a teenager for his alma mater Our Lady of Premontre High School's high school radio station, WGBP-FM, calling play-by-play for the school's boys' basketball, football and ice hockey teams. He was a ball boy with the Green Bay Packers in his teens during the time that his father, Bob Harlan, was a Packers executive in the front office. He had originally pursued attending either the University of Wisconsin–Madison or the University of Notre Dame in pursuit of his communications/mass media degree, but a personal recommendation from broadcaster Gary Bender to his dad Bob led Kevin to instead attend the University of Kansas and its School of Journalism and Mass Communications. Harlan was introduced to the Jayhawks' primary basketball play-by-play announcer at the time, Tom Hedrick, who audited Harlan's zeal for sports broadcasting and immediately considered him a protege in the making. Hedrick gave Harlan a sideline position, his freshman year, eventually deeming him as his understudy and fill-in announcer on days where he had other commitments. Harlan graduated in 1982 with a broadcast journalism degree.

Deron is regarded as one of the best free safeties to have ever played the game. He was a six-time Pro Bowl selection from 1983 to 1988, starting five of them in his 11 years with the Chiefs. Few other Chiefs players have been selected to this number of Pro Bowls. He had six 100 tackle seasons in his 11 years as a member of the Chiefs, with a career total of 927 tackles.

In 1987, he won the Byron “Whizzer” White NFL Man of the Year award. This award annually recognizes one player who goes above and beyond to perform community service in his hometown and team city. Other recipients include Bart Starr, Gayle Sayers, Floyd Little, Archie Manning, Roger Staubach, Franco Harris, Gene Upshaw, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees. Prior to receiving this award, he was the Chiefs NFL Man of the Year selection in 1987. This is the most prestigious award given by the NFL Players Association. Deron also was awarded the NFL’s 1980’s All-Decade team and in is also in the Kansas City Chiefs Hall of Fame.

Cherry is a frequent guest speaker at civic, charitable, and corporate events throughout the country.

In 1995, Deron became a limited ownership partner in one of the NFL's then-new expansion teams, the Jacksonville Jaguars.
