In Episode 40, hosts Ronnie and Jillian have a special guest joining them in the studio. Kevin Timmons, the man behind the renowned Overland Park restaurant, "Nick and Jakes," takes a seat at the mic for a conversation that's both heartwarming and deeply poignant.

Ronnie and Jillian's friendship with Kevin goes way back to their days at KBEQ Q104. During that time, Kevin was not only known for his culinary expertise but also for his other popular establishment, "Wil Jenny's." This episode marks a heartfelt reunion, as they reminisce about the good old days and share laughter, but it also delves into the profound impact of a tragic event that has touched Kevin's life.

In 2017, Kevin faced an unimaginable loss—the devastating loss of his son, Nick, to suicide. As he opens up about this profound heartbreak, Kevin reveals the driving force behind his mission to raise awareness and break the stigma surrounding mental illness. He is on a dedicated journey to provide resources and support through his Fore The Kids Foundation, a cause that has become deeply personal.

This episode is a rollercoaster of emotions. While the conversation is filled with nostalgia and camaraderie, the underlying theme is one of great sensitivity. Kevin shares his thoughts, experiences, and feelings about the pain of losing a loved one to suicide, as well as the hope and determination to make a difference.

Join us for this raw and authentic conversation that tackles the joys and sorrows of life with grace and courage. You won't want to miss Episode 40 with Kevin Timmons, a testament to the enduring power of friendship and the strength of the human spirit. Tune in, stay engaged, and be prepared for a journey that will leave a lasting impression.
