Ep 3: NFL Kicking Legend, Nick Lowery + Arizona Turns Blue!
Show Notes

Recorded at the Detroit Coney Grill in Scottsdale, Arizona, host John Murphy talks with co-owners, Dave and Merrill, a couple of Motor City foodies who desired to bring the flavor of Detroit to the desert. Learn how the Coney Dog got its name and how it was actually created in Motown, not New York.

Murphy's mantra is, "You never know who'll you meet in a diner!" And it holds true for this episode as Murphy connects with NFL kicking legend, Nick Lowery, who spent 14 seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs and shattered NFL records during his run--but it didn't come easy. Hear Nick's personal journey of overcoming huge setbacks and flat-out failure before making it big. You'll also get Nick's take on pro-sports gambling, his love of diners, and the danger of dangling the promise of big money in front of the parents of young athletes.

Finally, there's a frank discussion with several "Zonies" about the political shift of Arizona from conservative to liberal due to the Great Migration of Californians into the Grand Canyon State.
