Just a random night, trying to enjoy a Columbus Highschool football game, this weeks guest, Brian Marker, found himself feeling a little "off."

Knowing something wasn't quite right and without saying a word to anyone, Brian drove himself to the Emergency Room. 

A few labs and a CT scan later, Brian found himself on a helicopter ride to Omaha where he was about to hear the game plan when it came to battling an Aortic Aneurysm he didn't know he had.

Listen here now! Hopefully with better audio quality this time!

**we experienced technical difficulties in this episode with our guest microphone so it’s very hard to hear. Unfortunately we were unable to fix the error after the fact.**

Have you ever driven by "The Christmas House" in Columbus that has more decorations that you can count? 

We had the pleasure of having none other than the owner of that house for our guest this week! Lee Lorentzen joined us and answered alllll of the questions any person might have after driving past his house in the month of December, or after walking through the lit up trail that goes through the back yard!

This house is definitely one that needs to be added to your list if you're going to look at Christmas lights in Columbus this year!

This weeks guest, Kendra "Big Butt" Fry, joined us for a lot of fun conversations! 

When Jake and I started this podcast, Kendra was our "go-to" person to ask ALL the questions about radio/broadcasting/advertising/etc. 

Kendra used to work in the radio business for years and knows the ins and outs of the industry! 

Kendra also discussed with us what it was like growing up with a single Dad. And her Dad....let me tell you.....I can get on board with his sense of humor! Hilarious!

This weeks guest was none other than one of my very best friends, Kendra Knopik! Kendra talked to us about her experience working as a dental hygienist, about how she learned she was going to be a mother when she never planned to be one, about why she chose not to vaccinate her daughter, about learning her Dad had stage 4 cancer and how she helped him change his lifestyle/outcome, and about what it's like to take ownership of Genoa's local newspaper, The Genoa Leader Times. 

So a variety of good stuff!

This weeks guest, Kirk Westring, joined us to talk about various life changing events that lead him to where he's at today; owning and running a small town hardware store in Humphrey, Nebraska! 

I don't want to give too much away here, so in short, we discussed how he helped recover Brett's body from the river, how he got in a bad accident while racing in a hobby stock race, how he owned a brand new semi (to him) for 23 hours before he was cut off and it was totaled it on the way home while hauling a brand new combine on the back, and how all of those things combined led him to running a hardware store and spending his hard earned time with his wife and 3 kids!

Ever wondered what your massage therapist is actually thinking about when you're laying on their table for 30, 60, or 90 minutes? 

This weeks guest, Chrissy Robb, joined us to tell us all about it! Chrissy has been a licensed massage therapist for 16 years! 

 Several lines were crossed with the obvious questions people may have always wondered or joked about, but Chrissy answered them all for us! 

And if you're like me and have never heard of "muscle scraping" when it comes to massage therapy-I included a picture of the tool she uses to do such thing in the pictures! Who knew?

Enjoy!
