Anthony LaPanta joins us to talk family, friends and food (and not necessarily in that order) and his personal Mt. Rushmore of local  "good guys" he has encountered in the professional sports world.

BOO! While John's sarcasm gets a bit exhausting in this Halloween preview, the KC Crew discuss KG's Wild travel (packing for 12 days), Steve's favorite scary movies (no one has ever heard of) and John shares a ghost story from his days on the St. Joe's Hospital psych ward...as an employee, not a patient. 

We discuss a unique program that brings hockey to children in the heart of  Minneapolis and St. Paul , DINOMIGHTS. We visit with Impact Hockey owner and DINOMIGHTS Volunteer, Eric Johnson (Self described Johnny Clueless fan, Kevin Gorg admirer and complete stranger to John Schwietz.)

The KC Crew discusses a variety of topics from Hurricane Helene to Customer Service recognition. Steve offers a new KC Challenge...Support the Arts. (Apparently Culinary Arts don't count) :( 

We enjoy a chat with legendary St. Paul Pioneer Press Columnist,  former Minnesota Twin and all-around great guy Charley Walters

Crossover event with Minnesota Masonic Histories and Mysteries. We visit with Shawn Kor, Executive Director of Eagle's Healing Nest.

We take a few moments to reflect on some of the "light" that came out of one of the darkest days in US history, September 11, 2001. 

Fashion-forward 14-year-old, Carter Finseth tells us about his "kindness brand,' Be. Real. Be You. Be Nice. 

The Great Minnesota Get Together...a combination of food, fun and apparently FIGHTS on the Midway. We discuss the Kindness experienced at the fair and the unfortunate chaos we also endured.

In a world dominated by political divisiveness, St. Paul/Minnesota lost one of the least divisive, most lovable "politicians" to ever hold office. George Latimer was THAT guy. His dear friend, and John's "Uncle Harry" joins us in remembering a St. Paul legend.
