Festivities are held in the historic Westside neighborhood, home to many of Kansas City's Latinx residents. It began in the classrooms of the Mattie Rhodes Art Center where children worked on Dia de los Muertos themed projects after school. It was in one of those classrooms that Richard Bay, a local artist and art educator in the Kansas City Public School District, held a discussion night about the holiday where an impressive crowd gathered to learn about its traditional practices. The people's interest was apparent, as was the need for more space, and thus a gallery was opened next door in order to foster a space for cultural and artistic education. Since then Mattie Rhodes Center has dedicated itself to this idea and hosts a variety of events during Dia de los Muertos, including an altar exhibition made for and by members of the community, cultural workshops and tours, and related celebrations in the streets of the Westside. Altogether, we hope to create an experience that is similar to and honors the traditional celebration of Dia de los Muertos in Mexico. We cherish the connections and collaborations we have made through this event with our community members as well as valued institutions around the city such as the Kansas City Museum in the Northeast, Stonelion Puppets Theater, and the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. The holiday of Dia de los Muertos varies from place to place, from person to person. The holiday originates in Mexico, though it is celebrated in many other countries in different forms. Dia de los Muertos embodies themes from both All Saints and All Souls Day (Catholic holidays) and those of the Aztecs and the Mayans. The culminations of these many beliefs focus on families reflecting upon those who have passed and rejoice in the happiness they once shared. Even though families are saddened by a loved one's departure, they do not cry on the Day of the Dead. The elders say the road back to the world of the living must not be made slippery by tears. El Dia de Los Muertos evokes happy and sad emotions, but it is always a celebration that unites the living the dead together for a short time. The holiday can be seen as practice in which we laugh at death, we triumph over it by celebrating life. While Halloween focuses on scary images of monsters, witches and other frights, the Day of the Dead displays a strong sense of respect and love for family, ancestry, and community. Death is a natural part of life, and this holiday allows people to talk and laugh about death and lose some of their fear. Although traditionally Dia de Los Muertos is celebrated on November 1st and 2nd, many people celebrate the days of the dead from October 18th through November 9th, with each day dedicated to different groups of souls, also including a thirteen day feast. For this celebration of life and death, ofrendas (altars) are constructed for those who have passed and people tell stories and reflect on the good times they all once shared. There are many standards for the creation of the altars. Specific items are called for, the inclusion of the four elements (earth, wind, fire, and water), a towel and bowl of water, a cushion or chair, photographs, candles, flowers, personal items and even food. Our exhibit of altars and artwork displays and explains these aspects and brings others to the surface. Some work portrays the traditional aspects of the day of the dead, while others reflect contemporary views that push the principles of ofrendas. They also present many different views to the public, some dedicated to family and others purely aesthetic. The artwork of various local artists on the walls stirs up the celebration and positive energy that the holiday exudes. The fiestas take you right to the heart of Mexico with the parade, performers, live music, food, activities, marketplace, and art that involve the entire community. The workshops teach you how to decorate and prepare for the festivities, and the slide presentation shows you first hand accounts of the holiday in Mexico. Overall, we bring you many ways to learn, understand, experience and celebrate this wonderful and uplifting Mexican holiday. Traditional Mexican Calendar: Many people witness the holiday of Dia de los Muertos on November 1st and 2nd, All Saints and All Souls Days. In some areas of Mexico the holiday begins as early as October 18th and lasts through November 9th. Although the days change from place to place and family to family, the basic festivities remain the same. Below is a calendar of the Days of the Dead from many areas in Mexico. October 25th- The Feast of the Holy Souls. This is the beginning of a 13-day feast of the dead for the Tzeltals of Mexico. Here graves are decorated with pine needles and tusus (yellow wildflowers). October 27th- The souls of those who have no living family members are offered breads and water from jugs on this day. October 28th- On this day the accidentados return (the souls of those who died in accidents). This is also the day for the souls who have caused great harm or murder to return. They are also offered jugs of water and breads. These souls are un-forgiven for their acts, so their offerings are placed outside the houses or in the corner of a church. October 30th- The unbaptized souls return on this day. The children who visit on this day are known as Los Ninos Limbos (children who died before baptism). October 31st- Angelitos (the souls of children) show up on this day and must return to the land of the dead by afternoon of the following day. Toys and candy are left for them. November 1st- The souls of the dead adults return today. Cigars, cigarettes, alcohol and liquor is left out for the adults only on this day. The adults may remain until the next day. Many families spend the night in the cemetery to spend time with them. This day is known as All Saints Day, a Catholic festival day. Someone is called to ring a bell through town or in the church to summon the souls of the adults. November 2nd- Known as All Souls Day, another Catholic festival day. This day focuses on the living assisting the dead in their move into Heaven. This is usually the last day of celebration and includes the largest fiestas. By the end of the day, all the souls must leave, and to help them along, the mummers (dancers) wear costumes and masks and run through the streets dancing and singing, trying to scare the spirits back to the land of the dead. November 3rd- The living may share and eat the objects from the altar. People usually give their objects to their neighbors saying, they were left for them by the souls. In Mixquic, a bellman rings a bell on the hours of each day of the dead to announce the different happenings and rituals to be performed. The Aztecs dedicated an entire month to the dead. The month was called Miccailhuitontli, and was named after and presided over by the goddess Mictecacihuatl, who was the Lady of the Dead. This happens from July 24th through August 12th. During this month, rituals were dedicated to her and the god of war known as Huitzilopochtli. This was the time of the harvest and it was believed that the souls followed the scents of the harvest in order to find their way to their altars.

Mikey Wheeler is a son, a brother, a husband, a father, a musician, and a tattoo artist. He's also my guest for Episode No. 181.Every now and again I wax emotional about what a good human with whom I've had the privilege of sitting on the other side of the table of, and when I do so it is 100 percent not in an effort to speak any less of the other fine folks that've been kind enough to join me.We've all got a story or stories. We've all rowed the channels of life in one form or other.Being that this show is what this show is, though, it's difficult to manage my time wisely enough to get folks to sit in the chair opposite mine. And it's a whole other cart of magic beans to land someone that's as sharp, articulate, benevolent, and wise as the likes of a Mikey Wheeler.I said this while we were rolling, and I don't want to ruin anything by repeating any thing that doesn't warrant it, but this one's an exception: Shouts out to Mikey's mom, Debra, his siblings and his grandma and his uncle. Shouts out to the friends and bandmates Mikey's made along the way. Shouts out to his wife and all his work homeys, too. This is a conversationalist, and were I of the means to launch a podcast network, I'd try to get Mikey to be a part of that content with some consistency.Mikey earns his living inking humans and he does so down at Windhorse Tattoo. The joint's visible online at windhorserising.com, and you can roll your IRL bones in there at 901 E. 31st Street in downtown KCMO. Give them a buzz at 816-283-0500, and toss 'em a follow on the old IG at @windhorsetattoo. At this very moment, I can't personally speak to the fruits of Mikey's labor, but he's got a handful of repeat customers, is perpetually acquiring new, and -- per our conversation -- he's booked out six to eight months. So if you've ever been on the fence and one of your hesitations has been because you don't know who to go to in Kansas City, pick up the phone and call Windhorse; I suspect they can set you straight.Anyway...Mikey and I talked about the wild life experience of growing up in a way that didn't necessarily look like that of those around you but winding up grateful for the very manner in which it happened, regardless.We talked hoops, tatts, Steely Dan, Slint, Mike Patton projects, the glorious benefit of attending absolutely dynamite shows where everyone present is just jazzed to the gills about being there. We talked about the idea of there being two kinds of people -- those who care about humanity + everyone else -- on this planet. We man-crushed over Daniel Day-Lewis like a couple of goobers, and we talked about being in bands and making music.It was awesome.Follow the dude on Instagram at @mikeywheelertattooer, and stay tuned for the entirety of our chat; I don't typically edit much out, anyway, but this one clicked the whole way through. It'll be worth your time.copyright disclaimer: I don't own the rights to the audio clips contained within these episodes. In this one particularly, I lifted snippets from a tune called, "Theme from the Bottom." It's a track from the 1996 record, Billy Breathes, that the greatest band in American rock history, Phish, released, c/o of Elektra Entertainment Group. I'm not doing anything non-Fair Use here, though, YouTube, so please stop blocking me from receiving the monetary sums I'm not yet qualified to earn.Thank you.

Eric Martens is a son, a sibling, a husband, a father, and the owner of Border Brewing Co.He's also my guest for Episode No. 180.Eric was kind enough to carve out a small slice of his Tuesday evening a week or so ago to come spend it with me. And for that I am grateful.Border Brewing Co. is located in the proverbial heart of downtown KCMO at 512 E. 18th Street, and you can give them a holler at 816-469-5287 or find their stuff online at borderbrewco.com.Eric and I talked growing up, education, musicianship, leap taking, and the brick-and-mortar challenges that face a business owner in the 2020s. We also talked a little bit about a few of Eric's favorite albums, which were these:Kind of Blue (1959), Miles DavisDave Matthews & Tim Reynolds' Live at Luther College (1999)Hot Fuss (2004), The KillersThe MGDs' Wake Up (2016)Border Brewing Co. has channels on the social-media outlets on the Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Twitter platforms, so if you were to give them a follow, I'd be much obliged.Many thanks to Eric for the time and the fantastic conversation, and a tip of the ol' fedora to all of you that support the program.Cheers.copyright disclaimer: I do not own the rights to the audio samples contained within this episode.

   As we get ready to celebrate five years of www.kkhasissues.com, I decided to do something Tuesday we have never, ever done before.  I recorded a patron podcast with incredible, detailed information that may shock you about what the Royals and Chiefs have decided for new stadium sites and/or renovations.  It's not sourced enough to do on the public podcast or radio but its the kind of information I have shared with friends and family for 40 years.  I'll explain it all and tell you how you can hear it.    Then we lighten up as a 10 year old relative of mine, one of my mom's great grandchildren, starts a The Pigskin Kidcast on Podbean and You Tube.  I'll play a clip... you will love it.    That struggling Sunfresh market that communists love is officially closed after the city has wasted $29 million to make in work in KCMO.  Not a surprise.    Vinnie has a 5 rbi night and the Royals win again... is this the start of a special homestand and a run to the playoffs?  We have the deets on what it will take.    The Chiefs have their last practice in St. Joe Wednesday.  We'll go over what they are working on, tell you about a player with an awesome wife that cooked for her hubby at 3:00 am so he could have his favorite breakfast dish when he got home from Arizona last week and Dave Portnoy blasts the Chiefs as "cooked."    Also, a quarterback does a Joe Biden impression, an MLB team runs out of fireworks and the Tonight Show is pivoting for good reason.

Bad Bunny continues to dominate headlines with a packed schedule and groundbreaking collaborations. In the past week, the superstar made waves in fashion and sports culture by debuting the fourth colorway of his Bad Bunny x adidas Adizero SL72 sneaker, previewed at an exclusive Formula 1 event in Puerto Rico. This limited release, seen by Sneaker Freaker and displayed at the Museo de Artes de Puerto Rico, combines brown and pink with blue and gold accents, and features premium materials like mesh, suede, corduroy, and leather. More than 150 pairs of his adidas collaborations were showcased for fans, underscoring his deep influence on sneaker culture. No official release date has been set, but fans can expect it as part of the Fall 2025 adidas lineup.The F1 event itself was historic for Puerto Rico, as Bad Bunny partnered with the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team and adidas Originals to bring the racing experience to his home island for the first time. According to Vinyl Me Please, the event blended high performance culture, music, and local pride, with the sneakers gifted to celebrity and VIP attendees, cementing Bad Bunny's reputation for boundary-pushing partnerships.Musically, Bad Bunny remains in the spotlight with the recent release of his single "Alambre Púa," the first new music since the launch of his seventh studio album, *Debí Tirar Más Fotos*, earlier this year. As reported by 94.9 KCMO, he debuted this track live during his current 30-show residency at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan, an unprecedented concert series running through September with the first dates initially available only to Puerto Rican residents.He is also gearing up for another chapter in his global domination: following his residency, Bad Bunny's Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour will kick off in November with stadium dates in Europe, Australia, Japan, and Latin America, as outlined on his official Wikipedia. These announcements follow a headline-making year in which Bad Bunny delivered a lauded NPR Tiny Desk Concert and starred in the highly anticipated film Happy Gilmore 2.Outside music and sneakers, Bad Bunny remains vocal on social issues. Just this weekend, AOL detailed how he called out U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in a video he posted on social media. Bad Bunny documented what appeared to be ICE agents detaining people in Puerto Rico, expressing anger and raising awareness on immigrant rights, consistent with his history of social advocacy.In summary, Bad Bunny's recent week has been a showcase of creative energy across sneakers, sports, music, activism, and more. He's using his platform to elevate Puerto Rican pride, set records, and ignite conversations on and off the stage.Thank you for tuning in—be sure to come back next week for the latest on Bad Bunny and more.

   Quite a debate broke out this week on whether or not Kansas and Missouri should be competing against each other to lure businesses... especially big ones like the Chiefs and Royals.  I think the best debate was on our radio show on KCMO and I've got a chunk to play for you.  It's spirited to say the least.    Trump slams the EU and says tariffs are soon going up to 50% if they don't come to the table.    The unofficial start of summer is here and Oceans of Fun is taking a pass because it's too cold.  Darn global warming.     The Royals have a really big series this weekend in Minnesota and hope its the start of good things from Salvy.    Caitlin Clark gets beaten up on the court... again.  She is the WNBA and if she's smart, she'll leave and start her own league. They treat her like crap and don't punish the race baiters.    College Football has found yet another way to help the SEC and Big 10 in the playoffs and the Song of the Week is from the most requested band from our listeners.

   The Bob Fescoe Fiasco is one of the most embarrassing sports radio messes in memory as his report the Royals were locked in on Overland Park for a new stadium got refuted almost in real time.  It was ugly in every way and Bob, who's a good guy and terrific family man, must be hurting over all of it.  Mayor Q piled on him worse than anyone and now Q says he has up to $1.4 billion for the Royals downtown.  What?  Is Mayor Q pulling a Fescoe here or is he pulling a Trump and will actually back it up and deliver for KCMO?    Bobby Witt Jr is ready to play ball after the stress of his off season wedding, we have a fun clip.  Michigan State coach Tom Izzo has the greatest name and comments about the college basketball transfer portal.    Trump signs a wonderful executive order to clean up our elections, MTG is holding hearings with CEO's of PBS and NPR and I can't wait.  Kristi Noem and JD Vance hit the road in opposite directions and conservative talker Chris Stigall hates emoji's in texts.  I think I will send him one!    Our Final Final is a ballpark food item that doesn't mess around... it feeds the whole family.

In this wide-ranging episode, Jonathan and Cody reunite to ask the big questions: When do you stop being “from Kansas City”? Why are people pretending not to swear when they stub their toe? And is there really only 8 billion people on Earth? Because it sure feels like more. Jonathan tells the story of how he lost a sale by telling someone from Salem, MA that she is not, in fact, “from Boston.” Cody coins the phrase “New Orleans Chiefs,” and the guys debate whether moving the Royals across the state line actually matters. Spoiler: it doesn't if you're from Cass County. They also rip apart the new “Eat Like a Baby” diet (Jonathan: “Babies eat slow because they have no teeth!”), and break down the cultural phenomenon of the Hot Mugshot Girl, who may or may not be getting arrested for clout. That naturally leads to a conversation about attractive people getting out of speeding tickets and the complicated ethics of body cams, crime, and charisma. Also in the mix: Why men become obsessed with mowing the lawn after age 30 Whether tall grass once hid saber-toothed mole cats And why the real freaks are the 26% of people who claim they don't swear when they stub their toe As always, Cody wraps things up with some real talk about his tech shop, Akins PC Repair, and their new line of gear that might just outlast your laptop, your phone, and possibly your next several relationships.
