  • Listening from Bonita in San Diego, CA

    Been a Chiefs fan since 93’ when the 49ers traded Montana to KC. Even though we had the Chargers in SD, the 49ers were alway on 📺 so I followed Montana to KC. The rest is History.

  • Love DTK and the Chiefs

    My name is Jimmy. I am a Raymore-Peculiar HS and Wichita State graduate. I am currently working five minutes away from Arrowhead and living in Basehor. My commute is my favorite time to listen to DTK. My favorite Chiefs moment is “Wasp” in Super Bowl LIV. All the best and I love DTK.
