BILL ALTHAUS: Victory of an Addict (EP 37)

4/28/2023
Bill Althaus has been a household name in Kansas City, specifically Eastern Jackson County for nearly 40 years as a sportswriter for The Examiner. He's the first print member honored by the Simone Award Committee. He was the first media member inducted into the Greater Kansas City Football Coaches Hall of Fame. He's covered every Kansas City Royals postseason game, including four World Series. He's traveled for away games with the Kansas City Chiefs. Bill has also been the host of the Sonic Locker Room Radio Show with 18 area high schools for 15 years. Aside from the extensive coverage of many local teams inside Eastern Jackson County, Bill covers every game for the Kansas City Mavericks and Kansas City Comets. Over the 40+ years he's been a sports journalist, he's had personal relationships with some of the most notable sports figures in Kansas City: George Brett, John Wathan, Albert Pujols and many more. Bill has been blessed with many amazing experiences during his professional career and he's so good at articulating them, making for some great compelling stories. In fact, Bill also interned for Geraldo Rivera at ABC in New York City when he was a sophomore in college at Northwest Missouri State. From the outside, it would appear that Bill was living his best life. But what many haven't known over many years was the turmoil he and his wife (Stacy) were battling inside because they were the parents of a son (Sean) they loved very much, who was addicted to drugs. From opioids and heroin to cocaine, their son overdosed and died 3 times and survived by resuscitation. The good news is, Sean is doing fantastic today and has been clean for 3 years after succumbing to addiction for 16 years. Bill's testimony is powerful and offers the perspective from a parent of an addict. So much heartbreak, exhaustion and post traumatic stress. If you're a sports fan, you're naturally going to love this episode but it also provides substance for anyone who's battling addiction and/or anyone who has a loved one who's an addict. https://www.examiner.net/ Watch this episode on Spotify or YouTube.

RACHEL HOLTHAUS - "The Hope Dealer": Failed Suicide Attempt (EP 35)

4/14/2023
You might recall in Episode 31 with John "Iron Man" Cantrell, we reference his dear friend, Rachel Holthaus "The Hope Dealer". WOW! This woman is a living miracle. When you hear about her accident, it's absolutely remarkable that she's still alive. Rachel comes to The PRP from Topeka, KS. Rachel and Ronnie met through at a boxing event in Topeka, same boxing event where John Cantrell was fighting. Rachel was introduced to Ronnie by his old friends from Marysville, KS...Matt & Tiffany McManis. Rachel's story has a few twists and turns but the short of the story is...she battled substance abuse for many years to mask a variety of physical and emotional pain over the years. The substance use eventually got out of control to where she had a failed suicide attempt that left her very critically injured. But she lived! And through all of that she has reconnected with her christian faith and is now using her testimony to share love and hope to as many people as possible. WARNING: During the discussion of her failed suicide attempt is graphic and may be difficult to listen. However, we feel it's important to hear the trauma she endured to understand the magnitude of the miracle she is today. https://rachelthehopedealer.com/ Watch this episode on Spotify or YouTube.

TRENT GREEN: Trials & Triumphs (EP 33)

3/24/2023
Former Kansas City Chiefs Quarterback, Trent Green joins us for Episode 33 of The PRP! We were limited to about an hour with Trent so we tried to pack in as much as we possibly could. Trent was drafted in the 8th Round in 1993 Draft to the San Diego Chargers and cut after one year. Shortly after that, he joined the Canadian Football League with the BC Lions in 1994 and was later cut again after one year. He gets another shot in the NFL with the Washington Redskins (now known as the "Commanders") and outside of one pass thrown in 1997, he would not see NFL action until 1998. It was 1999 when he signs with the St. Louis Rams to be the starter, but suffered a gruesome season-ending knee injury in a preseason game on a hit by Rodney Harrison of the Chargers. Unheralded backup Kurt Warner took over for Green, and led the Rams to a 13–3 season, culminating in a dramatic 23–16 victory over the Tennessee Titans in Super Bowl XXXIV. Trent would land in Kansas City for the 2001 season and would spend a total of 6 season with the Chiefs. In 2006, he suffers a serious concussion in the 3rd Quarter of the first game of the year against the Cincinnati Bengals and would remain out until mid November. It was the next year in 2007, Trent played for the Miami Dolphins where in early October he suffered another serious concussion. In this episode we discuss the "Trials & Triumphs" during those 15 years in the NFL. He shares a lot of insight about the NFL as a business and his experience to overcome obstacles. We learn about his relationships with Hall of Famers, Dick Vermeil and Kurt Warner. And he shares how he got into broadcasting, where he is currently teamed with Kevin Harlan for NFL Games on CBS. There is no doubt that Trent is a person of high-character and it was not only informative, but also very enjoyable to talk to him. Watch this episode on Spotify or YouTube.

MICHAEL WHEELER: KC Superman (EP 32)

3/17/2023
NOTE: Due to operator error...there is no video for this episode until the 48:36 mark. Our apologies. If you live in the Kansas City metro, there's a good chance you've see KC Superman, Michael Wheeler run (literally) the streets of Kansas City. Michael even takes his Superman character on the road to impact many across the country. As a devoted Christian, Michael uses his radical image to bring glory to his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. In this episode, Michael explains his upbringing. He's the son of a pastor and family member of a strong foundation in Christian faith. He explains when he was saved by Christ after being wrongfully accused of assault while serving in the military. At the same time, he was going through a divorce. He was drafted into the military towards the tail end of the Vietnam crisis, leaving behind his wife and young son. After being saved by Christ, it became his mission to take the ministry to the streets. From the drug infested areas of Kansas City to the gang controlled streets of Compton, California, Michael has surrendered his personal fear to the Lord in effort to spread the Good Word. He's been beaten with a pipe, hit over the head with a board and even stabbed. Even after all that, he has no fear. He seeks large crowds like KC Chiefs & Royals games and even travels to the Super Bowl each year. You'll be blown away to know how many marathons he's run. At the time of recording (3/14/23), Michael is 72 years old and still going strong to offer love, peace and prayer to whomever he meets. You may (or may not) be surprised to hear him explain the many times he's been arrested for his efforts. You'll also learn of his commitment to Christ with the things he does when people aren't looking...like running the Super Bowl victory parade route over and over in the middle night, as he prays continuously during his run that the Lord will bless the Kansas City streets and everyone who comes hours later to celebrate. It's a very intriguing discussion and we're most grateful for his prayer over our podcast at the end of the episode.

JOHN CANTRELL: Addiction, Conviction & Redemption (EP 31)

3/10/2023
John "Iron Man" Cantrell is a professional boxer and the Kansas & Missouri Heavy Weight Champion. But he's also a man with a remarkable story with many miracles. In this episode, John talks about his desire to feel acceptance in his teens after transferring high schools. He found it however, even after finding acceptance with a good circle of people, demons began surfacing in his life. Normally I would type a very detailed description about each episode. However with this episode, it's important to know that John had addiction to alcohol and drugs and even some gambling issues with his pool game. After an unsuccessful suicide attempt, John was saved by Jesus Christ. There is sooooo much to his story that it's nearly impossible to explain in this description. However, his story is fascinating. In and out of substance abuse, reckless gambling, time spent in the federal penitentiary, saved by Christ and father of a incredible son with special needs. This episode will have you on the edge of your seat to learn "what's next" in John's story. Watch this episode on Spotify or YouTube.

WE THE PEOPLE vs LEES SUMMIT SCHOOL BOARD (EP 30)

2/3/2023
WARNING! The subject matter of this episode contains explicit sexual material that is not appropriate for children. It's not the intent of The Papa Ron Podcast and its Hosts' to create content for the purpose of glorifying X rated material. In fact, the purpose of this episode is to bring awareness to parents that are unaware of this content in the books that resides in some public schools, in particular the Lee's Summit (Missouri) High School (Grades 9-12). Viewer/Listener discretion is advised. Chuck Quesenberry, Founder of "We The People of Jackson County, Missouri" joins us for Episode 30. This organization meets on the first Monday of the month to discuss concerning topics and listen to expert speakers on particular subject matters. Chuck explains why this organization was created in July of 2020 after being inspired to take a stand against wrongful actions after riots broke out in downtown Kansas City and law enforcement was directed to "stand down". From there, this group of people have made efforts to bring awareness to the issues surrounding Human Trafficking, Drug Trafficking, Security, Law Enforcement, Legal, Health, Veterans and Politics. Two weeks ago (from the time this episode was recorded on February 1, 2023), Chuck attended the Lees Summit School Board Meeting with the intent to speak on behalf of the members of We The People of Jackson County, Missouri about the book, "All Boys Aren't Blue", which contains explicit sexual actions. Upon presenting the Board about this book and the content within, he began to read lines from the book which eventually led to a his removal from the meeting by Lees Summit Police because the School Board claimed that the material he was reading to them was "inappropriate" for their meeting. However, 5 of the 7 members on that School Board approved the book for the High School Library. The Papa Ron Podcast wanted to offer Chuck our platform to explain the groups point of view on the matter and show in transparency the exchange between him and the School Board because...the school board streamed the meeting but immediately cut the stream when Chuck began reading lines from the book. However, cell phone video captured what transpired in the meeting after the stream was cut. In effort to provide parents a crystal clear understanding of why this group considers this book to be pornographic material, we ask Chuck to read a few lines from the book. For that reason, we highly suggest that you don't listen to this episode with children inside listening range. In this episode, you'll also learn of the 3 candidates running for this School Board on April 4, 2023, who disapprove of this book residing on the shelf of any Lees Summit School library. Below is a link to join the Private Facebook Page of We The People of Jackson County, Missouri. Regardless of your political beliefs, please consider uniting with this group, in effort to take a stand for what is right. Please share this podcast with all your friends to help this group get the message to the masses. https://www.facebook.com/groups/324354998945999 Watch this episode on Spotify or YouTube.

GAREN ARMSTRONG: Living without a Heartbeat (EP 29)

1/26/2023
This episode is mind-blowing! Garen Armstrong is the Executive Director of Shamrock Roofing and Construction. He's also a man who suffered a sinus infection so bad, that the infection went to his heart and damaged it so badly that it required a heart transplant. Because a new heart wasn't readily available, he was the first in Kansas City and likely one of the first 10 in the United States to have an operation to install an Lvad (Left Ventricular Assist Device) that would be worn on the outside of his body, with a wire that would run from the device, through his skin to the apex of his heart to keep the blood flowing through his body in order to keep him alive until a heart was available for transplant. No heartbeat. No pulse. He lived on this device for 3 years before a new heart was available. Garen has had his new heart for 2 years (from the date of recording this podcast) and doing well. Aside from the details of his health scare, Garen gives us his back history in Entrepreneurship, discussing the ups and downs of all his various ventures. He also explains how he got into the roofing industry prior to taking over Shamrock Roofing, which was Owned/Operated by his father before passing from cancer. It was after his father's passing that he took over the family business, grew it exponentially and then at the age 40, suffered the sinus infection that damaged his heart. Through this experience, Garen has grown closer to God in his Christian faith and became passionate in philanthropy by being heavily involved with the American Heart Association, Cars 4 Heroes, sitting on a variety of administrative boards and more. Garen's story is remarkable and it's hard not to hear his story and see the outcome as a miracle from God. Watch this episode on Spotify or YouTube.
