From Ohio to the Olympic Stage: Kyle Paladino’s Behind-the-Scenes Experience with Team USA in Italy

When WNZR’s Eric Brown and Marcy Rinehart sat down with Eric’s longtime friend Kyle Paladino, they weren’t just talking about a trip overseas—they were unpacking an experience of a lifetime. Kyle had just returned home after volunteering with Team USA at the 2026 Winter Olympic Games in Italy, and his stories offered a meaningful look at what happens behind the scenes of one of the world’s biggest sporting events.

Kyle shared a little of his journey leading up to this moment. He served as a physical therapist in the Zanesville area from 2002 to 2024 before relocating to Northeast Ohio for a new opportunity that also allows him to support his mom more regularly. Today, he works with ABC Therapy Limited, partnering with public and charter schools and serving adults with developmental disabilities. Recently, he even helped connect one of his Cleveland-area schools with Cleveland Heights hockey standout Layla Edwards, highlighting her historic Olympic impact and inspiring students in the process.

So how did Kyle end up volunteering for Team USA? He credits a childhood friend, Professor Charles Campisi of Baldwin Wallace University, who encouraged him to apply. Kyle went through the official Olympic volunteer portal, completed interviews, screenings, and training, arranged his travel, and—with strong support from his employer—made his way to Italy for the 2026 Games.

His role with Team USA was mostly behind the scenes, supporting athletes during what’s called the Team USA Welcome Experience, often referred to as “TUI.” Because venues and training sites were spread out—especially with Cortina located several hours from Milan—Team USA didn’t operate one central hospitality house like they did during the 2024 Summer Olympics. Instead, volunteers helped create a safe, organized space in Milan where athletes could briefly gather before heading to the Olympic Village. Kyle’s responsibilities were largely supervisory and logistical: managing the space, preventing intrusions, moving boxes, taking out trash—whatever was needed to create the best possible environment for the athletes.

Two moments made the experience especially real for him. During his very first shift, members of the figure skating team arrived while athletes from Team USA women’s hockey were also present. The welcome was deeply emotional, especially considering the hardship U.S. figure skating has endured over the past year. Kyle specifically mentioned Maxim Naumov and the tragic loss of his parents in a 2025 plane crash. The atmosphere, he said, was powerful and supportive as athletes, staff, and volunteers rallied around one another. The second unforgettable moment was the Opening Ceremony, where he felt the energy of tens of thousands cheering—not just for their own countries, but for others as well. It was a reminder that even in competition, there can be unity.

Looking back, Kyle said Team USA prepared volunteers well, and the experience matched what he expected. What stood out most was the gratitude and positivity among the volunteer community. The work felt manageable, enjoyable, and meaningful. He now encourages others to consider volunteering for future Games, including the 2028 Summer Olympics.

He also came away impressed by the athletes themselves. His biggest takeaway? They were genuinely kind and appreciative. Volunteers are trained not to ask for photos or autographs during official duties, respecting the athletes’ privacy and focus. Still, Kyle described friendly public interactions that showed just how approachable they were. He even shared a lighthearted moment involving the curling team—he accidentally wore a curling-themed shirt on the wrong day but later got to show it to them, and they loved it. Moments like that, he said, revealed the athletes’ warmth and humor.

Of course, Eric and Marcy couldn’t let him go without asking about the food. Kyle admitted he’s not necessarily a “foodie,” but he enjoys trying whatever looks amazing. Breakfast often meant pastries—especially the cornetto, similar to a croissant, filled with chocolate, fruit, jam, or even cinnamon. Lunch usually involved sandwiches stacked with Italian meats and cheeses, often chosen simply by pointing at what looked best. Dinners leaned toward pasta and pizza, with dishes like risotto and carbonara making the list. And since Milan is known for its chocolate, he made sure to bring some home for friends and family.

Thanks to a lighter volunteer schedule than expected, Kyle was also able to explore. He spent time in Milan and took a day trip to Turin, host of the 2006 Winter Olympics, where he toured the royal palace and admired the Piedmont region near the mountains. He ventured into Switzerland to ride the famous Bernina “red train” through the Alps, stopping in St. Moritz. In Milan, he visited the breathtaking Milan Cathedral—the iconic Duomo seen so often in Olympic broadcasts. He was struck by its centuries-long construction and the prominent statue of the Virgin Mary atop the cathedral. Milan maintains a tradition of placing additional Virgin Mary statues on other tall buildings so the Duomo remains symbolically dominant in the skyline.

From late January through early February, Kyle packed in sightseeing, service, and once-in-a-lifetime memories. Reflecting on it all, he said volunteering changed how he sees the Olympics. Watching on television is one thing. Standing in a crowd of roughly 75,000 at the Opening Ceremony—knowing only about 10 people personally but feeling connected to everyone—is something entirely different. The shared cheering, the unity among nations, the emotional weight of the moment—it made the global competition feel deeply human.

For anyone interested in volunteering at a future Olympic Games, Kyle recommends starting at the official Olympic website and looking for volunteer opportunities, especially as information for Los Angeles 2028 becomes available. His message was simple: it’s truly the trip—and the experience—of a lifetime. And volunteering is one powerful way to help others perform at their very best.

Thanksgiving is 1 week away! Are you ready?

Today, The Morning Thing shared some great advice on how to prepare for the Thanksgiving holiday.
Here are some great tips that we found online to help you plan ahead and be ready to enjoy this special holiday.

🛒 1. Plan and Shop

  • Finalize your menu. Decide exactly what dishes you’ll serve (and what guests might bring).
  • Make a detailed grocery list. Include all ingredients, drinks, and supplies like foil, plastic wrap, and napkins.
  • Do your big grocery run. Get non-perishables, frozen items, and anything that can store well for a week. (Avoid the last-minute rush!)
  • Order your turkey. If you haven’t yet, make sure it’s purchased or reserved.

🦃 2. Prep the Turkey

  • If you bought a frozen turkey, move it to the fridge to thaw — it can take up to 4–5 days depending on the size.
  • Check you have a roasting pan, thermometer, and carving knife.

🍽️ 3. Get Your Kitchen Ready

  • Clean out the fridge to make space for ingredients and leftovers.
  • Sharpen knives and clean cookware, baking sheets, and serving dishes.
  • Label serving platters or sticky-note them (“mashed potatoes here,” “stuffing here”) to stay organized.

🏡 4. Prepare Your Home

  • Clean main areas (kitchen, dining room, bathrooms, entryway).
  • Plan table seating and décor. Make sure you have enough chairs, plates, glasses, and utensils.
  • Set aside time to decorate — candles, fall centerpieces, or a festive tablecloth go a long way.

🕒 5. Plan the Timeline

  • Create a cooking schedule for the week and Thanksgiving Day. (e.g., pies the day before, casseroles in the morning, turkey in at noon.)
  • Make a to-do list for each day leading up to the holiday.

👪 6. Coordinate with Guests

  • Confirm who’s coming and what time they’ll arrive.
  • Double-check who’s bringing what dishes or drinks.
  • Plan for any dietary needs (vegetarian, gluten-free, etc.).

🍰 7. Start Early Prep

  • Make and freeze pie dough, casseroles, or rolls if possible.
  • Chop veggies ahead of time and store them in labeled containers.
  • Prepare any make-ahead dishes like cranberry sauce or gravy base.

Byron Saunders Foundation Helps Give Thanksgiving Meals to Families in Need

Ginny Williams talked with WNZR’s Eric Brown about the Byron Saunders Foundation and some of it’s history.

Click HERE to hear the full conversation!

It started in 2003 with only 20 meals and its grown so much. It started with the idea of just helping families have meals and it’s grown to be such a large part of Thanksgiving. It just started with people checking on neighbors and now it gone beyond that to a widespread to reach families and have a meal on Thanksgiving.

Ginny talks about how families can get a meal for Thanksgiving. All you have to do is either call or text to get a full boxed meal and certificate to get meats for Thanksgiving by calling 740-324-9503 to help get signed up.

The last pickup for the year is this Saturday, November 22nd at their new facility at Habitat for Humanity in Mount Vernon.

She also talks about ways you can help support their work through donations and volunteering. The Knox County community has been very supportive, and they’ve been so blessed with smaller groups who’ve done food drives with a small list of things they need for their meal boxes. They sell tickets at the Knox County Fair and she explains how the community helps with that as well as other fundraisers run to help them as well as the Food for the hungry who helps support them as well as so many others.

She also thanks Habitat for Humanity and their help by giving them a permanent location and they’re so thankful for having a location and not having to go from place to place to try to keep working all year. She’s so thankful for the community support to keep this foundation working.

She talks about the goals for the community to end the season, they need volunteers for the ticket booth at the Knox County fairgrounds. If you see something for their foundation, put some nonperishable food in there like cans, or call their number.

They have food that needs to be delivered for them if you have time to help them and helping people who can’t go to get their turkey.

Flying Horse Farms Makes Magic for Special Kids

WNZR’s Eric Brown speaks with Stacey Keyser with Flying Horse Farms. Stacey talks about the camp located near Mount Gilead and is a medical specialty camp. They serve kids with chronic and serious illnesses that can’t go to traditional camp settings.

Click HERE to hear the full interview

She talks about how the camps has grown in 15 years and has served over 10,000 campers including having family camps in both the spring and fall.

Stacey says camp is not just good medicine for kids and families to heal and grow, but it is great medicine. She says camp gives these kids a sense of belonging and just focus on being a kid.

She says this past summer marked the most camp sessions in the camp history including adding more opportunities for family camps.

Stacey says 1/3rd of campers experience camp for the first time at Flying Horse Farms and she talks about being a part of these kids “firsts.” She said they see as many tears from parents as they do from the campers.

She says that trust is a huge part of making the kids and families trust the staff.

She said they have campers from 15 different states due in part because camp is COST FREE thanks to donors of the farms.

Stacey says that demand exceeded availability this year and explains who their new rolling admissions works and how it allows more campers to attend camp.

She says that family camp welcomed 19 families this summer. She says when a child experiences an illness, the whole family is impacted. When families come together, the entire family can bond with different families, and it can grow into friendship.

Stacye says they had over 300 volunteers contributed this summer and how they build the “magic” for campers so they and their families can have fun and are the “Lifeline of what they do.

Stacey says that Flying Horse Farms recently joined the ACA’s Program quality cohort and explains how that benefits the campers and their families.

Stacey explains a unique ceremony they do at Flying Horse Farms to celebrate the campers dreams, hopes and essentially a way for you to pray for the Farms

Spreading Positive Vibes on Good News Tuesday!

On The Morning Thing on WNZR Tuesday, co-host Eric Brown shared a series of uplifting, encouraging, and downright cool stories as part of our Good News Tuesday.

Throughout the morning, we brought you heartwarming and positive news stories designed to brighten your day and lift your spirits.

Sharing good news helps balance the often overwhelming stream of negative headlines, offering hope and reminding us that there is still kindness, progress, and joy in the world. It can inspire positive action, improve mental well-being, and foster a sense of community and resilience.

We featured a variety of these inspiring stories all morning long to bring encouragement and a smile to your face:

🧠 Wisdom Teeth and Stem Cells – Who Knew?
Turns out those pesky wisdom teeth we all dread might be way more useful than we thought. Researchers in Spain have discovered that the soft center inside wisdom teeth—called dental pulp—contains powerful stem cells that could one day help heal bones, hearts, and even brain tissue. These cells can actually turn into neuron-like cells that show electrical activity, similar to real brain cells. Scientists are even testing them in mice with heart issues, and early results look promising. And the best part? Since over 10 million wisdom teeth are pulled each year, collecting them could be as easy as tossing them in a vial and sending them off to a lab. So before you toss yours in the trash, you might want to think twice—they could be your body’s future backup plan.

🎓 Small Town, Big Scholarships
In Swanville, Minnesota—a tiny town of just 328 people—graduation means more than just a diploma. Every single year for the past 30 years, the whole town has chipped in to raise money for scholarships for its seniors. Think chili cookoffs, bingo nights, bake sales—you name it. What started as a $166 gift back in the day just hit new heights: This year, one lucky grad walked away with $5,000. That’s a whole semester of college, right there. It’s more than just money—it’s about making sure their kids know they’re supported, wherever life takes them. In Swanville, it’s clear: once a Bulldog, always a Bulldog.

🥾 Detention? Let’s Take a Hike
At Morse High School in Maine, detention looks a little different. Forget sitting in a classroom staring at the wall—here, misbehaving students can choose “hiking detention.” That’s right. If you skip class or mouth off to a teacher, you might find yourself lacing up your boots and heading into the woods. School counselor Leslie Trundy came up with the idea after an outdoor ed conference, and now it’s a hit. Students say the walking clears their heads and helps them think straight. Not everyone’s sold—some parents think it’s too soft—but the kids are showing up, breathing fresh air, and maybe even learning a thing or two. Sounds like a win.
