Speaker 1 (00:04):
Welcome to the Danny Clinkscale, reasonably irreverent podcast, insightful and
witty commentary, probing interviews and detours from the beaten path.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Welcome to Arts and Lifestyle Wednesday, presented by Strategic Partners, Inc.
And that's just one of the things that I'll be
talking about in this little Christmas message. Normally, on this
particular Wednesday, on Arts and Lifestyle Wednesday, of course we
do Danny and Tim's music scene. But I decided to
be a benevolent dictator and I gave Tim the Christmas
(00:37):
week off. He will be back next week, and instead
I'm just taking a little time to whimsically go through
some thanks, some end of the year's stuff, some sponsors,
the little stories from Christmas, and just some things to
maybe put you in a holiday mood. I know that
on Christmas not too many people might be listening to podcasts,
so this is a little triviality that if you hear
(00:59):
it and you enjoy it, that's great.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
And if a.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Hundred people hear it, or a thousand people hear it,
whatever it is, it'll be fine with me. And yes,
one of the things I certainly am thankful for at
Christmas time or all the things that make the Reasonably
Irreverent podcast tick, including Timothy Finn, who has been here
from the outset. He was an early profile candidate. He
brings his music and everything else to the table and
(01:24):
all kinds of people do that for Monday, Wednesday Friday,
and we're going to talk about all of them, some
of them, some things about Christmas, and maybe just a
random thought or two. You can tell it's already going
in that direction. It's Arts and Lifestyle Wednesday Christmas Edition,
Merry Christmas to you, and it's presented by Strategic Partners, Inc.
(01:44):
Zach Ridemeier and his fine crew. They're having a busy
holiday season, but when the new year comes, get your
financial strategies in order with the best you can do.
Strategic Partners Inc. And Zach Ridemeier and his great team
and will continue you with these Christmas memories and other things.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Next, more of Danny's Reasonably Irreverend Podcast after this.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Have your investment statements had a lot of peaks and
valleys over the years. The peaks are great and even
the valleys can provide opportunities for you as an investor. However,
the closer we get to retirement, the more challenging these
market swings can become. This is Zach Ridemier. I would
like to get to know you and your goals for
the future. I offer financial planning services across the United States,
(02:29):

forward to meeting with you face to face with the
highs and lows throughout the financial landscape. My goal is
to make sure you feel protected once you've set your
retirement date. Growing up in a tight knit community, I
understand the importance of knowing you can rely on someone
to have your back. I'm always a phone call away

Speaker 2 (03:09):
Securities and advisory services offered through LPL Financial, a Registered
Investment Advisor member FINRA SIPC. We're here with doctor Brad
Woodell from Advanced Sports and Family Chiropractic and Acupuncture, and
one thing we like to talk about is the wide
range of services that can help you out mentally and physically.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
We offer many services from chiropractic, acupuncture, nutritional work, and rehabilitation.
And we take care of patients of all ages from
young to old and customize the care to help them
stay well and stay active.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
What are some of the things that you can do
to help that.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
The first thing we're going to do is we're going
to look at prevention. How do we keep you moving
and aligned? Ideally, just like your car, that expensive car
is going to have your top priority and maintenance. You
want to keep it in good shape. This body of yours,
it is worth a lot.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Advanced sports, family, chiropractic, and acupuncture. Eight locations all around
the Kansas City area, so you can find one near
you to do all the things that doctor Woodeld has
just stressed. It's asfca here with Matt Lewellen from the
twenty third Street Brewery Hence brewery. So beer is important
and you've got great ones.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
Yes we do, and we've got a great brewer, Angelo
Ruiz has been here for three years now and just
Bruce great great beer, always something new on tap. It's
hard to say what our best beers are because he
always has a new beer coming out for the season.
I was asked earlier today what we have coming up next,
and I'm like, I don't know. Ask Angelo. Come inside
(04:39):
the restaurant. Talk to Angelo, our brewer. He'll tell you everything,
but he might say he doesn't know either. No matter
what it is, Danny, it's a great beer though, and
Angelo brew is all kinds of great beer.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Great beer's, great food, great fun at the twenty third
Street Brewery, twenty third End Castle.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
If you'd like to join these and other great sponsors
and market your business to a growing and engaged audience,
contact u at Danny clinkscale dot com look forward to
hearing from you.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
If you'd like to join these and other fine sponsors
and market your business to Kansas City's number one variety podcast,
contact us at Danny at Danny clinkscale dot com look
forward to working with you. Welcome back. And we've just
passed six years and we've just passed thirteen hundred podcasts
on the Reasonably Irreverent podcast And they come in a
wide variety of things, and they are created and really
(05:29):
kept going and humming along by our great team of sponsors.
And there's three presenting sponsors. On Mondays, it's either Monday
Musings with Danny and Friends and a great team of
people that we have to talk about baseball like David Leski,
and we have soccer with Daniel Sperry and all kinds
(05:50):
of different things to talk about. We'll visit about basketball
during the season with Matt Tait and others. All kinds
of people contribute to that, and then the foot all season.
Of course, it's Danny and Stan's Football Weekend and we
talk about college pro football and all things like that.
And Wednesdays it's Arts and Lifestyle Wednesday. I already mentioned that,
(06:10):
and Danny and Tim's music scene has been a part
of the podcast for the entire time, and it's really
one of the things that makes me smile. Actually all
my podcasts make me smile, but certainly that one is
a special labor of love for me. I do a
lot of research for it, which basically ends up being fun.
Just like a lot of things in my world. I
do a lot of research. People say, do you do
(06:31):
a lot of research, you know, for your job, and
I'm like, yeah, but it's what I would probably do anyway.
I'd watch games, I'd read articles, I would listen to music,
I would do some music research, I would go down
some rabbit holes and all those things. So that's one
of the things that goes into Arts and Lifestyle Wednesday,
and one of the others, and the regular rotation is
of course Reconcilable Differences our couple's view of life, where
(06:54):
we just take you on a little journey about our
particular journey through life as a married and much of
it is what we consume entertainment wise and where we
go and all kinds of things that we do that
are just regular couple things. Or maybe if we had
a difference or two that we can reconcile, reconcile, we'll
talk about that.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Also.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Next year, for instance, we'll be headed on a Viking
river cruise, something that we certainly a cruise is something
we never really wanted to do, and we will never
go to a hotel on the water for sure, but
this only has one hundred and seventy five people in it.
So that's the type of thing we end up talking
about in Reconcilable Difference. And of course the Wednesday platform
(07:37):
is presented by Strategic Partners, Inc. They're the newest addition
to our presenting sponsorship lineup, and Zach has become a
good friend and I enjoy talking about stuff with him
and making the occasional journey down to Parsons, Kansas, which
is where one of his offices is. It's a national company,
he however, has a local touch to it, and it's
(07:58):
really cool to have him aboard. And of course we
have thirsty Thursdays, sense and nonsense alternate weeks. Sometimes sometimes
it's longer than that, and Joe and I get together
and talk about different things, and that's.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Just a whole lot of fun too.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
That's just a barrel full of monkeys or monkey shines
or whatever people like to call things like that, because
we both like historical facts and we both like minutia,
and so all kinds of things fit into that and that.
Of course, our beer sponsor for that is Santa Fe Liquors,
and that is cool to have them aboard, and it
really helps us curate the podcast because well, we drink
(08:36):
beer during the podcast. It's the only broadcasting I've ever
done in my entire career where alcohol is involved. We
used to do remotes in a bar or whatever, and
I would never even have a beer before the show
ended because I figured, Hey, somebody's going to see a
beer sitting in front of you and they're gonna go clink.
Scale was on the air drunk and that would just
(08:57):
be bad vibe. Although not like I couldn't handle a beer,
or maybe you can tell on Thursday Thursdays that maybe
I shouldn't have a beer or two, who knows. And
then on Fridays we do our personality profiles and Kansas
City Profiles presented by Eastern Roofing. Eastern Roofing is been
one of our first and certainly strongest and greatest partnerships
(09:22):
with Eastern Roofing and Joe Spiker, and he's become a
great friend. It is the thing for me that probably
I am the most thankful about the podcast. I like
the creative aspect of it. I'm not maybe the greatest
person attuned to sales that there is in the world,
but what it has allowed me to do is make
some friendships that I probably never would have made. And
that's a cool byproduct of what I've done here at
(09:44):
the Reasonably Irreverend podcast as well, and Fridays also we
repurpose the Danny Unleashed segment, so that's another thing that
we do when it's on WHB, and occasionally we toss
in some other stuff. If the spirit moves college basketball
maybe and we're still in the throes of the football season,
might do that on a Sunday to catch you up
to date, especially when the conference season starts. So all
(10:07):
those things are part of the makeup. And of course
our Monday podcast. I think I was remiss and not
saying that's sponsored by Advanced Sports and Family Chiropractic and
acupuncture doctor Woodell and his fine staff. They are the
sponsors on Monday, so that's a cool thing as well.
And we have other great sponsors. Twenty third Street Brewery
has been aboard for the entire time. Also, so Cinematic
(10:30):
Visions and other companies as well. We've had great relationships
with and continue to hope to increase that. And if
you're interested in doing something like that, just email me
at Danny at Danny Clinkscale dot com. Well, when I
come back, I'll probably just tell a maybe radio related
or broadcasting related Christmas tale or two and wrap things
(10:54):
up and talk to you about just the things you
should be happy about at Christmas. I can't tell you
what to be happy about. But I know what I am,
and I am doing this on Christmas Eve, and I
basically sat down in the middle of the day and said,
I better tape this now because this is going to
get away from me. I have a million chores to do.
(11:15):
We are hosting Christmas, so talk more about that. Coming
up next, it's Arts and Lifestyle Wednesday. It's a Christmas edition.
It's a thank you edition. Really, as I muse about
during the course of the rest of the season in sports,
I call my Monday podcast Monday Musings. Well, these are
Christmas musings or holiday musings or anything else, and more
(11:37):
of them come your way.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Next, more of Danny's Reasonably Irreverend podcast.
Speaker 2 (11:41):

And one of the things I treasure about the Christmas
season is the fact that I, for some reason, I
don't really understand it. I'm not a particularly spiritual person,
(14:57):
but I do like all things Christmas music generally. I mean,
there's a lot of terrible Christmas music. Certainly most popular
you know, pop or rock or whatever. Music is just
stuff that's tossed out there to try to make a
buck or two during the Christmas season, and either they'll
redo Christmas songs or whatever. Those are generally bad. But
(15:19):
even the historical ones, the even the most church bound ones,
I seem to like at the Christmas season and Christmas
songs ring through my head all the time, which is neat,
even some bad ones. I was just walking around the
world the other day and for some reason, for about
two hours, I couldn't get a song I don't really
(15:41):
like it, all holly Jolly Christmas by Burl Lives out
of my head. So there I was like continually channeling
Burr Lives, which and I'm like, can I let's get
another Christmas song in my head? And so I think
I've moved on, But now that I've been reminded, I'm
probably gonna heal here old Burl Lives for a while again,
(16:02):
and his chestnut, as it were, of holly jolly Christmas.
I remember when I was a daily runner on Christmas.
I particularly remember a rainy Christmas day, and so I
was back in the day when I would rent run
six seven eight miles and I just remember, as I'm,
you know, two thirds of the way through the run, saying,
(16:24):
you know, you've thought about nothing but Christmas songs during
this entire time. That's pretty neat. And and you know,
the very next day, Christmas was over and I wasn't
thinking about Christmas songs at all. But on that day
of Christmas. All that would go running through my head
were Christmas songs. I thought that was I don't know, unique, spooky, whatever,
(16:45):
whatever one you want to pick. And one of those
runs came after or actually during the darkness of the
early morning on Christmas morning. I worked and probably heard
this story before, maybe, but I worked the overnight shift
at the first place I worked in radio, which was
(17:06):
WMRC in Milford, Massachusetts, and so all I had to
do all night from ten o'clock to six am, and
got paid double time during that time, which was the
incentive for me to do it, because right at six
o'clock I was gonna have to pack up and hid
a couple of towns over to Framingham for Christmas Day
with my family. But I took on the task. And
(17:29):
all I had to do, because there wasn't a lot
of commercial interruption because it was late at night, was
play hour long reel to reel tapes filled with Christmas music,
and depending on the hour how many commercials there were,
I had to stop it once or twice. Well, it
got to be four in the morning and there were
no commercials to be had during that hour, so I
was just going to spool up an hour of Christmas music,
(17:50):
punched the button and let it roll, and I figured
that was a good time to get in my Christmas
Day run, and I went out and did that. It
was dark, and you know, something bad could have had happened.
It's reel to reel. It's not like these were old
reels of Christmas music. Certainly something could have snapped, and
in that case, whoever was up at four twenty one
(18:10):
or whatever just would have heard nothing. But thankfully I
returned from my run, which took me say fifty or
fifty five minutes, perfect timing, and it was still spinning
around and everything went just very smoothly. But it's certainly
one of my most cherished Christmas memories that I was
protected by whoever the ghost of Christmas present, the fact
(18:34):
that the reel to reel did not fail me and
I was able to get my run in before I
went along.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
You know.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
And besides a couple of things like that, I don't
really have a tremendous amount of stories or memories from
like childhood. There's not a special toy I got or
a bicycle that was especially treasured. We used to actually
get our first bicycle would come from my Aunt Ruth,
and it was at our first communion, and it was
a tradition, and I became a tradition in our family,
(19:02):
and so she started with me, and then each child
that came along and there were six, ended up getting
a bicycle for their first Communion. Although I think maybe
by the time my sister got to be that age,
the family wasn't Catholic anymore, so I think she missed out.
In fact, I think she's talked through the years about
the fact that she didn't get a bicycle because they
(19:23):
were Baptists now or born again fundamentalist Christians, and they
didn't go to the Catholic church, And of course that
meant my Aunt Ruth, who was devoutly Catholic, was not
going to get to give the bicycle for first Communion.
But through the years, I'm sure I enjoyed every Christmas morning,
and I see the pictures from back then, but I
don't remember anything particularly special. I was yearning for. The
(19:44):
only sort of bad Christmas memory I have was that
I thought I saw Santa Claus when I was about
I don't know, six years old, and I woke up
in the middle of the night or I thought I
woke up in the middle of the night and I looked,
and I saw Santa in our house, which means you
weren't supposed to get your presence because you weren't supposed
(20:06):
to see Santa or look for Santa. So I was
terrified that I had been caught seeing Santa and then
I would get no presents. And of course I was,
I'm sure, actually asleep and dreaming. And then I woke
up and realized that I hadn't actually seen Santa, and
all my presents were there, and I don't remember any
of those presents, and I'm sure they were nice. I'm
(20:28):
sure there was a sled or something great like that,
but not that many of those type of memories through
the years. I do remember that Christmas was so busy
for us. We have a big family and a large
extended family, and we'd spend the mornings in Framingham, Massachusetts,
and the evenings just outside of Nashua in New Hampshire,
(20:50):
and so we'd make that long drive on Christmas Day,
and that is something that was a fun memory as well.
But I just wanted to take this when day Christmas Day,
on a day where you know, I just had the
thought you know, Tim and I could have taped a
music podcast and it probably would be great because they're
(21:11):
all great. But I said, you know, probably a lot
of people aren't going to listen to a podcast on Christmas,
so why don't I just put some personal thoughts out there?
And as I mentioned before, if they're heard, they're heard.
If they're not, they're not. But in the end, it
allows me to thank all the people who make the
podcast hum along, including all the great sponsors who I've
mentioned before, and a lot of the people who are
(21:33):
contributors like Stan Webber and on and on and on,
and the people who I interview that make the podcast
what they are the stories that they are, and we've
done everybody from Dayton Moore to Denny Matthews to Bob Davis,
on and on, and maybe even some people who are
more obscure, and we've done mayors and governors and everything else,
(21:59):
but also done stories about inner city golf courses and
projects that deal with recorded music and things like that.
So it's all been a labor of love, a lot
of fun, and as I said, over six years now,
a lot of hard work but rewarding work. And we're
over thirteen hundred podcasts, and most of all, I want
(22:20):
to thank all of you. People are very nice and
commenting about the podcasts, and most of the time, if
they have a criticism, it's a constructive one. It's kind
of not like the tweets I get back when I
do a Chiefs game or something like that, which half
of them easily or more to the effect that I'm
(22:42):
some kind of an idiot or curmudgeon or whatever. But
that's just part of the process and part of the
idea of the way I view viewing sports is that
I just watch what's going on, and I have opinions,
and they're not based on loyalty to a team or
a player or school or whatever. And sometimes I think
(23:04):
people don't necessarily like that, but I like to give
what I think is a clear eyed vision of what's
going on. And maybe it's clear eyed sometimes and maybe
it's not so clear eyed at other times, but it's
me for better or or worse. And that's really why
it's nice when people say nice things about the podcast,
Because if you don't like the person who was actually
(23:25):
directing the podcast, doing the interviews, giving opinions, telling jokes,
dishing out nonsense, all the things that we do on
the various podcasts, then you just wouldn't bother to listen.
So thanks to you, I appreciate it. I'm always available
to listen to your comments and at Danny at danniklinkskille
(23:47):
dot com. And if you'd like to come aboard business wise,
that's great too. But if you'd just like to say,
you know, I'd like you to do this type of podcast,
and I've had suggestions like that, and I have an
email in my queue right now that I keep that
had several suggestions about things that might be good to
spruce up or go in a different direction as far
as the podcasts are concerned. So all that would be
(24:08):
great too, But most of all, on this day, I
just wanted to say Merry Christmas, Happy Honkkah this year.
In fact, Christmas and Christmas is obviously today Christmas Day,
and Hanukah starts on the same day. I think it's
once every thirteen years or something that happens, and that's
kind of a nice coincidence as well. So however you
celebrate Christmas, be it Christmas Eve, Mass or whatever, bowing
(24:33):
to the East or going to temple for Honukkah, it's
all good to me because it's the holiday season, So
happy holidays to you, and we'll be back at it
with just the regular stuff coming up towards the end
of this year and twenty twenty five, so happy holidays
and happy new Year.
