KC Closeup: Thundergong; Counting Crows; Larry the Cable Guy 9/22/2017

Billy Brimblecom is a childhood friend of Jason Sudeikis, the SNL and movie star. After losing his leg to cancer, Billy founded Steps of Faith, a foundation which helps amputees without health insurance get access to costly prosthetics. On November 12th, Jason Sudeikis and some of his other famous friends will host a fundraiser for Steps of Faith, a night of comedy and music called Thundergong. Billy tells us all about it. Then, we dip back into the archives for a conversation with Counting Crows drummer, Jim Bogios. It was a year ago - on the exact same night, no less - that Counting Crows took the stage with matchbox twenty, much as they will do again Wednesday evening. Finally, Larry the Cable guy is an ardent - if not downright obnoxious - supporter of the Nebraska Cornhusker football team. So much so, that he was credited with leading the charge to fire the school's athletic director after the team's dismal start to the season. Larry joins us to talk about a positive aspect of football, a donation drive for his Git R Done Foundation that will put the winners in a suite with him during the Nebraska-Ohio State game.
