As a lifelong KCMO resident, thank you. Thank you for being authentic, genuine and transparently empathetic. Our community is hurting right now, and it’s been a heartbreaking week. Two of the victims are relatives of mine. This was their first parade. They will be okay, physically… but mentally and emotionally, they are traumatized. The trauma bounces off the desensitized culture we have here in America, and all three of you gentleman spoke on this from differing perspectives and yet were equally pointed and correct. Our kids deserve better than this.

I was there myself. If I had waited 2 mins to leave. I very well might have been a victim myself. I agree with you, and I see so many people taunting those who are wanting to pray for the victims. Has no one learned anything from this community? We all are Chiefs fans. This team is not only special because of their record. BUT, they bring everyone together, who would otherwise have nothing to do with each other because of religious differences, political differences, and other differences. Let them pray, they may very well agree with better gun laws while they pray. But, be that as it may. I agree with these three gentlemen. Our kids do deserve better. Before this awful shooting I seen so many people coming together, and just wanted to celebrate our team doing great. It was the best experience I had ever had. Until like Nick said. We was robbed. I collected extensive footage from this event. From when I was there at 12am. right up to the last speech given. My phone ran out of juice right before I left. Thank God. Because, I am glad I didn't personally document that awful tragedy. And, that I will be able to hold the more better memories of this event close to my heart. As, it was the first Victory gathering that I got to experience.

[@wademccormick254]

Wildes nailed it. We shouldn't have to rely on being lucky to not be a victim of a mass shooting. I was at the parade yesterday, and I'm lucky I didn't go to the rally. I have friends who were at the rally and, luckily, they were unharmed. Mass shootings coming down to bad luck is a massive indictment on America and our priorities.

[@loganjamieson4176]

Crime is a problem. The liberals often focus on mass shootings so they can blame gun owners and not the criminals. It's sad that so many fall for that just like Nick Wright.

[@gwreevesReeves]

Yes....this gang-related violence from criminals from fatherless homes....really speaks to our moral decline as a nation.

[@alyevoli4122]

[@jfraz_7720]

so what is your fix to the issue? pass gun laws that dont affect criminals at all? i mean everyone wants to blame the guns , but even if guns were gone, people would still find ways to harm others in massive way. cars, bombs, knives, poison, etc. at some point we need to blame the people that are doing these horrific things, not the inanimate objects. why should the 99.9% of people be punished because of the bad 0.01% ? theres 500 million guns in the country, theres no law that will stop mass shootings in the future. how come these sprees of mass shootings didnt happen before 2000 ? its almost like society changed and morals were lost. we need to build the family model back up again, fathers need to be fathers. every mass shooter has a mental problem, we need to work on mental health before anything, because thats where the real change happens. and thats beyond just mass shootings

I live in New Zealand and follow the NFL when I listened to this clip on Spotify/podcast on my way home. I cried. I am a 45 year old male who is still an active athlete and I just cried as I could hear and feel the pain. The easy thing is to place blame on individuals but through his anguish Nick was able to articulate that this has been enabled (or not prevented) via various regulations/laws/practices/culture or lack of regulations etc. Thank you FTF for highlighting this. I do pray things change for Americans to ensure these become less frequent or just eliminated. I may not be a Chiefs fan but I became a greater fan of FTF.

I've always loved you guys but I have so much more respect for you than I already had for choosing to air this segment.

Wildes depiction of his feelings brought me to tears. Nick and Brou's comments were also impactful and heartfelt. PRAYER'S to all the families affected by this senseless tragedy

I'm sorry you all had to experience that yesterday. I'm a die hard 49ers fan, but I'm a native of the IA-MO line, and a former resident of Kansas City and Independence. My heart goes out to you and everyone who was there.

Lived in KC for 8 years and I have gone through the range of being furious and also just very sad. I hate that evil people cast a horrible shadow on such a beautiful day. Praying for KC and asking that Justice be served and victims be comforted.

[@RachLouLou]

Thank all three of you for your openness ❤ I (a Chiefs fan and KC Native) look forward to this show above all others. Each of you has made me laugh and smile all season. Today, I cried with you. Thank you for what you all do. KC STRONG ❤️💛❤️💛

[@legitdragon6202]

I was at parade, but our group ended up not going to rally. It's making me mad that it is hard to stay mad - it's something we've just come to accept as an inevitably and not even shocked by anymore. We're nuts.

[@desean3402]

Man you perfectly encapsulated how I felt. I just accept it now because this is just what happens in this country now. I barely even looked at the coverage yesterday because I know another thing will happen

[@Devster41]

I was there too and we didn’t go to the rally either. I have a friend who was a few feet from the shooting and whose parents were working the parade. She’s pretty scarred from the whole thing. It’s horrible.

[@infinitetheeverlasting4306]

The rest of the world knows it too. People in two different countries have talked to me and openly mocked America for its gun control, and it’s extremely sad that it’s not even refutable. We’ve just accepted it and do nothing continuously

[@mbubble1849]

My kids and I were also at the parade. Tried to get to the rally to get a look at the First things First guys but it was way to crowded to see anything. So we ended up leaving just as it started. As we were getting on the shuttle buses saw police cars racing to the scene. These types of things are heartbreaking for our country.

[@R17759]

Unfortunately no change will occur. This happens all of the time and while everyone agrees it is a problem, the reasons given as to why vary considerably and nothing ends up being done. We are not a serious country.

[@RL-ww5ev]

Why can be done that will work? States with the strictest gun laws have some of the highest gun crimes

I've never watched this show, but i heard about Nick's monologue from someone, so i looked for it. It shouldn't take courage to say what he said, but it does. Right now.. it takes a LOT of courage. And he said it so well. I just want to shout him out. Good on you. We need a nation full of people like you.. courageous enough to say the simple things you said. Every single person with influence that stands up and says it makes it a little easier for the next person. You did it with the type of style and grace that doesn't just make it a little easier for the next one.. it makes it a lot easier. One day, we will stop failing our babies. I have to believe that. Thank you, Nick. That was awesome.

[@brianhoneycutt5938]

​@@bigballer6666 But the larger issue is these shootings happen so often now, and not usually for the reason you described.

[@kashanti1]

Nick...did what I expected him to do. He is raw with emotion. the problem is emotion doesn't allow you to think things thru. Each each millions of Americans experience that same raw emotion after a break in to their house, an attempted robbery, an attempted assaults' or *ape by an ex boyfriend or husbands, etc but are alive because they had the 2nd amend to protect them. They had the right as Americans to have a firearm that protected their lives and hte lives of thier kids and spouses, and when you talk about restricting that, you are talking about punishing law abiding people for the actions of others and taking their right s away., we live a free society and we live in a world with confused and unlawful people at times. that is why crime exists and would exist without guns in our country. the only difference would be that the criminals and mentally ill would have them but you would not. a million people are year protect themselves with a firearm. thats a million people that would be *aped, killed, robbed, assaulted, maimed, without them.

[@dirtydan3016]

@@kashanti1interesting how every other first world country doesn’t rely on that ridiculous argument. And the reason that the gun issue is where it is today is because of people like YOU who will stop at nothing to allow people to have weapons of war all for the purpose of “safety”.

Been watching this show religiously for years now, love the chemistry and everything else everyone has been saying about it. Wildes and Brou took the whole thing to another level.

[@marcgisby6452]

Wildes and Nick, such raw emotion. Fact you can tell Wildes spends the entire segment, I feel, trying to keep hold of himself, was so powerful. Brou's words were wonderful also. I'm from the UK, we don't get these situations often, if at all. These three, especially Nick and Wildes, make me realise how terrifying and emotional it is. Think alot of the time, it happens so often, unfortunately many feel "oh look. Another incident" and it truly shouldn't be that way for anyone. Thank you to each of you for the words

I’ve shared this with many friends who have shared it with many more. The common reaction is tears. You guys being so openly genuine and the tragedy of it all being captured is amazing. All the support to you and yours as well as the KC community. I’m a 44 year old man who had a great season bridging a couple generation gap with a swifty over talk about the chiefs and football and just having fun. Sucks so much that this is how the season ended. Your reaction was received universally across the board. Thank you.

[@chretienli6405]

As someone who grew up in that generation of school shooter drills, and you sort of just expect this thing to happen at least a few times in your life, I can’t emphasize Nick’s points enough. We’re all jaded, we all have reason to be jaded, but my hometown had a school shooting (Saugus) just a few years ago, and even though I had just left for college my brother was still in school at the time. I wasn’t even there, and unless you’ve been in this situation you have no idea how terrifying it is. People that mean the world to you, you call them, begging they’ll pick up, like your brain shuts off and time crawls. And the thing is, no matter how selfish you are, you can’t say we don’t owe it to future generations to at least TRY to make it better. As much as we want to be heartfelt and sentimental, it’s all BS until something is done and I don’t want to dismiss folks emotions but that’s the truth your compassion doesn’t prevent future death until you channel your compassion into action. You don’t have to agree with every gun regulation, but you’re telling me you can’t even think of one thing worth trying, there’s not one action that will at least better the situation??? Nick nailed it, there’s so many stupid arguments you try to convince yourself of, so if you know someone like this, or maybe it’s you yourself, ask yourself “is my doubt about gun regulation stupid.” You owe at least that much to future generations
