This week, the Mellinger Minutes For Your Ears podcast is all about gratitude for some actual sports-ish stuff to talk about and a conversation with Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas.

We did the interview with the mayor for a recent column about why he gave the world his cell phone number, and obviously I hope you read that, but we ended up talking a little about the Kansas City stay-at-home order lockdown and what he expects, too. I thought his answers were interesting, — and enlightening.

We also catch up about last night’s NFL Draft picks — including the Chiefs’ surprising choice in the first round of LSU running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire.

As always, thanks for listening.
