There are so many factors in this Saturday's game against Miami...Yes, they've never won a game in weather under 40 degrees...but the Chiefs have never won a Wild Card game against Miami...so we enlisted Chiefs great Trent Green to get all of the details about this weekend's game!!
It's been a bit since we talked to our friend Actor/Comedian TJ Miller...which is why we were excited to catch up with him...and, as always, we picked up just like no time had passed...and, again as always, it got weird real fast...and we wouldn't have it any other way!
Dear Johnny, My name is Amber and I’m a 42 year old single mother of 3 and I’m also a dialysis patient. I have had hereditary kidney trouble since the age of 9 (IGA nephropathy). At the age of 26 my kidney began to shut down and I had to start dialysis (3 times a week for 7 years). In 2014, I was finally able to get a donor and for 6 years life was great. In 2020, I went to work one morning and I didn’t feel well. I just didn’t feel right. I was rushed to the hospital and after testing doctors found that my donor kidney was failing. At that point I had to go back on dialysis 3 times per week for 3 ½ hours per session. I have so much scar tissue up and down my arms from all of the needle pokes and it’s all so draining and time consuming. It can be painful and physically exhausting. I have kept working 4 days a week and I stay late if I can to get more hours or take extra shifts. When I’m not working or at dialysis I sleep a lot to try and recover. I am awaiting testing for my heart to see if it’s safe to go back on the donor list. The only way I can afford to live is by sharing a place with my 2 daughters (ages 20 and 16) and they help take care of me as best they can. I also have a son, but he lives in Hayes, KS. With all of the testing and doctor’s appointments and dialysis I’ve fallen behind on some bills. I do my best but sometimes it just isn’t enough. I pray that you can help me and I thank you for reading my letter.

As we roll into the last couple of shows of the year, we decided it was time to talk with our old friend, Sevendust lead vocalist Lajon Witherspoon!! And, as always, we talked about everything BUT music...mantiquing, new pups, old school wrasslin' and more!!!
It's no secret that we love Henry Winkler on this show with all of our hearts. Simply put, he is one of the kindest, loveliest humans we know...but the person we all love came from very difficult beginnings...as told in his new book, "Being Henry"...and he stopped by the show to spend an hour telling us all about it.
NXT star Baron Corbin is living his best life right now...Not only is he on the path to eventually ascend to the NXT championship, he recently won gold in the Adult Masters division at Jiu Jitsu World League in Kissimmee, Florida...AND he recently flew back to KC to hang with Taylor Swift at Arrowhead!!
Dear Johnny, My name is Dave and I’m writing to ask for help. My mom, Mary, passed away in July 2019. She was 86 years old and suffered with alzheimer’s and she was diabetic. She was the greatest mom a guy could have. My father died when I was 2 years old and it only made me that much closer to my mom. After she died, my brother and two sisters and I were able to pay for a funeral, but it cost almost $10,000. It’s been 4 years now and my family and I can’t afford to get her a headstone. Each of us kids have our own families and we have tried to save money for a headstone over the years, but it just never happens. It’s hard to go to the cemetery and see her grave marked with only a small metal nameplate on a stake in the ground. I would love to honor my mom and finally mark her grave in the proper way. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my letter and if anyone can help I would appreciate it. Thanks, Dave Who Helped: Cole, Troy, Matt, JT, Stephanie, Chris Kubas, Felix How You Helped: Raised money to help buy a headstone
First we knew Mark Tremonti as the amazing lead guitarist for Creed and Alter Bridge...THEN we were completely taken aback when he released a fantastic album of Frank Sinatra covers last year...NOW, he's released a Christmas album,,,and it's really REALLY good!!! We talked to Mark this morning about Creed's upcoming tour, his love of pinball and more!!
Dear Johnny, My name is Christina. I'm a single mom of 4 great kids. In July of this year something didn't feel right and I felt a small lump on my left breast. I went in for a mammogram and doctors found 3 lumps. After scans and testing I was diagnosed with breast cancer and scheduled for a single mastectomy in September. After the surgery I started chemo in October (I have had 4 rounds, now have 12 left). With my surgery they removed 18 lymph nodes, 14 were cancerous. With surgery and treatments I have missed several weeks of work and it has been tough to make ends meet. For the last 6 years I have been a school bus driver and bus aid for a local school district and with my immune system compromised, it’s hard to work and be around the kids. I have applied for disability and should have it right after the first of the year but I am late on December rent and I'm at a loss to how I'm going to make it. I owe $1427 with late fee. I never thought this could happen. Thank you for reading my letter. Please help if you can.

Dear Johnny, I'm writing for help for me and my family. It's been a tough year for us. We are unable to get our heat turned on this winter due to financial difficulties. It's me, my mother, my two brothers with autism, my grandfather and my grandmother who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2021. My mother has become a full-time caregiver for my grandmother and watching to make sure everybody is taken care of. We have really buckled down to try and catch up, but we just can't seem to get there. They are on a fixed income and I work as many hours as I can to take things off of their plate and make things warmer and safer. We are currently relying on space heaters and electric blankets to stay warm, but it would be such a blessing for us to have heat. I didn't realize the gas had been shut off sometime around May or June due to past due bills. After the past couple years of my grandmother getting her diagnosis and my grandfather and mother having to dedicate so much time to taking care of my brothers and grandmother, things have been an immense struggle. The overdue bill to get the heat turned back on is $2500 and I just don't know where to turn. Thank you for all you do and thank you for taking the time to read my letter.

There is truly only one name that comes to mind when you think of platinum selling, world-famous, MTV pioneers, masters of parody who has a new biopic available on DVD/BluRay....mainly because the only person who fits that bill is Weird Al Yankovic!! And we were honored to have him on the show this morning!!
Dear Johnny, On December 8th 2023 my wife was diagnosed with leukemia. She has been sick off and on the last six months and we've had several doctor's appointments and now know what we are dealing with. She is currently at KU Med Center, but she won't be home for Christmas or New Years as they have already begun treatment. I'm am now keeping up with work and all of life's daily responsibilities and helping take care of my wife as well. I'm working as much as I can, because I can't lose my medical coverage, but I also have to be available to my wife to provide the support she needs for this fight. I can't share my worries with her because I just want her to concentrate on getting better. I have missed some work which has cut back on our funds and my car has an issue that I really need to deal with. The power steering pump is going out which is making the car really hard to steer and drive safely. I need the car to get to the hospital, go to work, buy prescriptions, but I don't know how long it's going to hold out. It's costs like $500-$600 and I don't have it. I will be behind on rent, but luckily my landlord is trying to work with me on it. I just really need the car to work and I'm desperate and overwhelmed. I feel like I fake a smile to get through my days, but I just want my wife to be okay. Thank you for your time, Jason Who Helped: Misty, Brian, Trevor & Blue Valley Auto Clinic How You Helped: 3 months rent, new power steering pump and general maintenance on their car
Dear Johnny, My name is Kaidan and the reason I'm writing for help today is that my wife (31) and I just found out last Thursday (Nov 30) that she has stage 3 colon cancer. Possibly stage 4. And a spot on her lower left lung. It started in November when she was having dizzy spells and trouble breathing. She's also had some stomach pain. We have both had to take several days off work for doctor's appointments to figure out what's going on. She's been through CT scans, x-rays, rectal exams, and more. We are now waiting on the results of a biopsy. She is supposed to start chemo next week (4 to 6 rounds) but her hemoglobin tested low so she has to have a blood transfusion this week. I'm trying to work as many hours as possible. We have 3 kids ages 12, 8, and 5. I hate to ask for help but I know I won't be able to do this alone. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read this, Kaidan Who Helped: Pinball Jeff, Jonathan, Michael, Travis, Matt, Tracy, Christy, Cody, Candace, Larry, Dustin & DE Services, Cosentino’s How You Helped: 3 months rent, Christmas for the kids, Christmas lights and groceries
