Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

   The Royals were embarrassed enough by a stupid looking loss to the Twins on Thursday that wasted a stellar performance from starting pitcher Cole Ragans.  Then, they had to go into the locker room and talk about starting catching Carter Jensen missing the game because he overslept.  This is one of the most embarrassing things I've seen and this is a key player.  Vinnie P didn't hold back.... this can't happen again.    The first week of the season saw MLB ratings go up like our moon rocket and one of the games was the Royals/Braves.    Authorities in Florida released more video of Tiger Woods' arrest and it's just awful.  He's got to get this right.    The Chiefs are all in on "Let Her Play" in Kansas and want you to sign a petition creating more opportunity for girls aged 6-17 to play flag football as a school sport.  Count me in.   Pam Bondi is bounced as Attorney General and if one report is correct on the reason why... she may be lucky she's not being investigated.    JD Vance is leading the Fraud Squad and they made an incredible bust in California of hospice houses that don't exist and the people that allegedly stole millions.  And Barack Obama has tougher rules for his presidential library than we have at the border or to vote.

   Bill Self announces he's coming back for at least one year and most Kansas fans are thrilled.  It's also a boost in the recruitment of the top player in America.  We are pretty sure the family and doctors are ok with this so why not everyone else?  This got complicated with the succession plan but they've at the very least bought some time to figure it all out.    President Trump says operations in Iran will be over in 2-3 weeks and gas prices will go down almost immediately.      NASA is back in the moon business and it was glorious to watch that rocket launch.  The question is why are we doing this?    Bruce Springsteen's bash America tour is getting worse and worse.  If he cares so much about Iran, why doesn't he have concerts there?    The Royals are in first place but made some bad history Wednesday in a win over the Twins.  Oh, there was a lot of good things.  But the one bad thing was epically awful.     Pete Grathoff of the Star interviewed announcer Rex Hudler who says he'll be part of the broadcast Saturday in Milwaukee and do 1/3 of the games this year.  This is an odd story and there's something going on nobody is talking about.   Tiger is leaving the country for his substance abuse treatment, an NFL star is in rehab and the Blue Springs Eagle cam is getting more fun by the day.

   In another first, President Trump is about to be the first Commander in Chief to ever sit inside the Supreme Court to hear oral arguments.  Trump will be there today as the court considers whether it's legal for illegal aliens to have babies in the USA and they are automatically citizens.  Pop some corn, this will be something.    While lower judges are cancelling everything Trump does, he signs yet another executive order.  The new order is about verifying and tracking every election ballot in the US Postal Service.    In an incredible story, a bunch of lady soccer fans and a columnist stop a new nightclub from opening called Sundown Lounge.  They claimed it's racist.  That's outrageous enough but get this... the man who had the idea and was set to own the club is black.  Oh, brother.    Tiger Woods heads to rehab, George Brett goes on national tv to discuss a very important Royals fan who has ALS and what we can do to help.  A former female ref is suing the NFL and I"m here for it.... go get 'em!  A helicopter lands in Olathe, illegally, with a couple hungry people on board.    And Costco has created a smalll controversy with a chocolate Easter bunny.

   There's nothing quite like opening day in a Major League Baseball city and Monday's opener was one for the ages.  There were parties, celebrity sighting, a touching moment of silence, and awesome flyover and a Royals win.  There was also news made when owner John Sherman told www.kcmotalkradio.com he's still talking to Kansas and NKC about a new stadium.  We have all of it for you.    On the field, pitcher Kris Bubic had a much different experience starting this home opener versus the last time he did it.  Did you know he had another opener?  Yup, it was in 2020 and there were no fans in the stands.    Mayor Q decided to make a big announcement about his future on opening day to hide the sad news there's nothing he can run for and win right now.  Boo hoo.    KC's population is growing while St. Louis is shrinking.  Eric Trump releases animation and video of a spectacular Donald J. Trump Presidential Library.  KC's own singing star Chappelle Roan is banned from performing by a mayor of a major city.  A rich, spoiled radio host calls it quits at age 37 and a famous rocker may not have a voice anymore.

   The Royals played a terrific game and bailed out the organization's leadership team after two absolutely awful pre-determined roster roles before spring training even started.  The good news, I double we will see Charlie Sheen attempt to close another game in Royals blue.  Now it's opening day and the Royals are big faves against the Twins... Let's go!    Topeka native Gary Woodland could be the best sports story in the world this year after recovering from brain surgery, publicly dealing with PTSD and winning a tourney for the first time in almost 7 years.  This is a great American sports story.    The Final 4 is set and Illinois coach Brad Underwood and his star freshman from KC are living the dream.    A new report indicates Tiger Woods was told by Trump's Secret Service that he could not operate a motor vehicle with any of Trump's grandchildren in the car or he'd be arrested.  This was BEFORE his fourth crash since 2009.    The No Kings rallies are filled with liberal gaffes, Trump wants to control and rename the Strait of Hormuz and we have a tasty Final Final if you like candy bars.

  You will have to wait until the back end because it's no lead story, but ESPN star Stephen A. Smith finally took the bait from new conservative Christian Jason Whitlock.  The host of a Blaze podcast has a long history of ruining everything in his wake but appears to have figured it all out and Stephen A isn't buying it.  I want to believe in JW so badly, but as we could be on the same page after all his mistreatment of others, I'm not sure.  I'm on Jason's side here, sort of.  But there's a lot of history and I will tell some of it.    Jackson County tries to repurpose the Truman Sports Complex, the KS Gov has a bill on her desk she  has a problem signing.  If you pay 1% in Kansas City earnings, do you deserve a vote?     The IOC is all in with Trump and now California has to accept no transgenders or send the Olympics in 2028 to Texas.   The Royals are set and Salvy is now a platoon player.  And an 8th grader in Pennsylvania has a perfect bracket and doesn't watch hoops.

   It's not always comfortable reading some of President Trump's posts on social media or hearing some of the things he says.  But it's important to try to figure out where he's coming from on most of these things as we seem to have forgotten what democrats have done to this man.  A local radio host, Dana Wright, is now an unhinged Karen and we'll ask the question she can't seem to ask herself... what if the roles were reversed?   MIT has data about mail in ballots in 2020 that is incredible.  The KCMO City Council is about to be forced to vote on getting rid of the all gender toilets at KCI.   In sports, Patrick Mahomes throws a football and posts it online.  Somehow this has millions of views.  Bill Self says he hasn't decided on his future and any reports that he has are "BS".  The Royals opening day roster is set and several players visit Team USA soccer players.  Masters concession prices are revealed, the new hoops coach at Providence has the all time greatest line ever at his introductory news conference and a zoo names a rare Rhino after a Chiefs player.

   For the near future, KU hoops are in limbo waiting to find out what legendary coach Bill Self is going to do.  If you're not in the camp that believes Jacque Vaughn is here to take the job as a given, well, things just got even murkier for KU as North Carolina parts with Hubert Davis and has an immediate opening.   In an incredible admission, Royals GM JJ Picollo says not too long ago, Royals executives thought Maikel Garcia was a better shortstop than Bobby Witt Jr.  We will play the audio.   The Royals also announced they are offering a hot dog and beer drinking challenge this year at the K called the 9-9-9 challenge.  With a tiny twist.    Missouri's Supreme Court rules it's just fine for the state to draw new districts in the middle of a decade.... this could be the end for Congressman Cleaver in KC at age 82.    After two days of mocking President Trump for saying the US and Iran are trying to work out a future for the country, CNN reports its true because a "high level Iranian official" has confirmed it.  What the hell has happened to American media?    Liberty approves a new data center while a couple of really crazy, dumb, women farmers in Kentucky turn one down even after getting the offer of  a life time.    Theo Von interviews Vince Vaughn about late night shows no longer being funny.

   Even MSNow hosts are seeing through Chuck Schumer and other dems that just can never, ever admit President Trump does good things.  Morning Joe got right up in Chuck's grill and set the record straight for him.    Election reform is in focus in many different ways right now and none of them seem to be doing anything but crawling slowly toward tiny gains.    The Royals are in Texas for a little last minute fun... and tune up for the regular season.  It was the fun part that sent the Royals on a sick ride.    Travis Kelce signs his new contract with the Chiefs on the same day the happy couple's honeymoon plans are revealed.  Wait until you hear the length and how many continents they will visit.    And California's billionaires want out of the Golden State so badly they'd rather live in a Hole.

   The Kansas Jayhawks were consistently inconsistent all season long and they were the same in a wild game against St. John's in the round of 32.  This game was ugly, painful to watch and it appeared KU would die without a fight.  Until they punched back in wild fashion the last 6:00 min only to be denied at the buzzer.  Now what for KU?    There were some other wild moments including Nebraska's crazy game as they advance and ISU rolling Kentucky without the Cyclones' best player.   The Royals have broken camp and have games in Texas against the Rangers Monday and Tuesday.    President Trump's weekend included putting Iran on a 48 hour clock and sending ICE agents to airports to take over security and get things moving.    The mad that slashed a woman with a knife at a park in Olathe Thursday is a three time loser in crime that keeps getting sent back out onto the streets.  And the victim, a music teacher, is named Jamie Trumpp.... it appears she's going to be ok.   Fireworks are back at Mt. Rushmore for America 250, Bill Maher questions how many people know anything and a couple actors lament the death of Hollywood on a podcast. 

   The Kansas Jayhawks coasted home after building a 26 point lead in their opening game of the NCAA tournament.  It gets tougher from here.  Meanwhile, Mizzou was Mizzou storming back to take a lead with less than 8:00 to play against Miami... and then falling apart.  Is Dennis Gates the long term coach for the Tigers?    Faves went 16-0 on Friday.  Has paying players and unlimited transferring killed Cinderella?   The Royals have their full team back and playing together and none too soon. The season opens Friday.  I've got some thoughts on Jac Caglianone that may not make you very happy.    CBS Radio News is closing for good on May 22.  This is not as big of a deal as everyone is making it out to be.  Elon Musk offers to pay TSA employees.    And the great Chuck Norris is remembered in our Final Final.

   Did you know Kansas is ground zero for an underground nuclear test?  It's not the kind you might think of with explosions and all that, no, this is about a new age of nuclear power generated a mile below the surface.    As TSA has staffing shortages, Senator Ron Johnson is calling for the agency to be privatized along with Air Traffic Control.  The post office is broke, maybe we should look at that, too.    The buzz on the Royals is real folks and it's so hot right now we're now going to be disappointed if the Royals don't make the playoffs.  At the same time, we'll talk a little Washington Square Park (Crown Center) which seems to be the big fave for a new ballpark.    St. Louis is hosting the NCAA tourney downtown so they've decided to have a curfew for teenagers.  I have just one question on this and it's a  really good one.

   It looks like you could say President Trump has made Venezuela great again as Salvador Perez and his teammates win their first every World Baseball Classic for their home country.  It was a great tournament with a ton of twists and turns and it may just offer up a chance for our president to draw us even closer to Venezuela.  Oh, and Salvy is on KC's Mount Rushmore of sports without a doubt.    Paint a clown face on arrogant Derek Jeter who's trying to talk his way out of being a sloppy broadcaster.  He should start by apologizing to MLB and our fair city.    And we have quite a surprise today as we are in Surprise, AZ for a little spring training.  My lifelong friend Rob Caldwell joins us to preview KU and MU in the Dance and gives you three top picks against the spread.  Trust me, you don't know anyone with as much airplane time every week to study this stuff.

    At first reaction you probably thought, "what in the world do the Chiefs want with Justin Fields as backup quarterback?"   Then, as we start thinking about changes to the offense, something becomes pretty clear.  But I'll take it to another level.  What if Andy is going all mad scientist on us and is about to do something no coach has done before?    We had a wild off road experience in the Sonoran Desert on Monday and nearly stepped on a critter with venom 4 times more potent than a rattlesnake.    The World Baseball Classic is set... Bobby junior goes up against Salvy and Mikael Garcia from Venezuela.    Then, as we see all these jihadists popping up it's time to ask the question if their culture is even legal in the United States under our constitution.    And our great friend Gary Lezak has an incredible scare stuck in NYC subway car with a knife wielding lunatic.

   Golf season is in full swing with the Masters just around the corner.  Today, you'll hear the story of a young Missouri golfer from the KC area that already has her ticket punched to Augusta National as one of only a select few to qualify for the Drive, Chip and Putt competition.   Bryan Minnis is the founder of Maxim Golf and he and his team at Tiffany Greens are doing something to help out 12 year old Desirae Larson and her entire family to have the greatest golf week ever.    Then, we play a piece of an incredible interview US Open winner Gary Woodland did on Golf Channel a few days ago.  He told the entire golf world that he has beaten brain surgery but he now has a hidden mountain to climb.... PTSD.  This is very emotional. 

   What if I told you a small town Kansas boy became an all state running back and then walked on at Kansas State as a.... punter?   What if I told you he wound up becoming an All Big 12 performer while all through college was playing his guitar but kind of afraid to sing in front of anyone?  It's true.  Then Nick Walsh had a pro day in front of the Chiefs and a few other NFL teams and while running the 40, pulled a hamstring.    It was time to turn to music.    Well, fast forward a few years and Walsh appears to be on the verge of something really big.  A new song by superstar Luke Combs is the top new download in music.  It hasn't hit radio yet but Combs says its the only song he's ever recorded that gets stuck in his head.  Walsh is the co-writer of the song and this is the story of a man with many dreams.  And one of them is about to come true with a song called "Be By You" by Luke Combs and we'll even play it for you.  This is a great conversation as the American Dream is alive and well.

   In an absolutely shocking twist in DC, longtime wishy washy Republican John Cornyn of Texas has come out in favor of blowing up the filibuster in the Senate to fund DHS and pass the Save America Act.  Hmmm, where have you heard that idea before?  Well, it's hard for Cornyn to look sincere in this as he faces a runoff against conservative Ken Paxton to determine November's GOP candidate.. but we'll take it.  Sometimes, even when the will of the people is heard, it feels hollow.    Meanwhile, President Trump and Marco Rubio have offered Cuba's leadership an off ramp with a solid economic deal that will fundamentally change life for all the great people living there.  It's a simple offer.... you leave and let the people elect who they want and we will always protect Cuba and do business and make you wealthy and great.  After Venezuela and Iran... let's see if they are smart enough to take the deal.    Officials in California, including Gavin Newsom, go public that they've been informed the state could be a target for unmanned Iranian drones off unknown vessels in the Pacific just off the coast.    Pasquatch went nuts for team Italy in the World Baseball Classic with a record three home runs in a win over Mexico.  It sends the USA to the quarterfinals as well... and then Vinnie said some really strange things in his post game comments.    Bill Self is asked about retiring as KU gets ready for TCU Thursday night.  Mizzou has a big one as a three point underdog versus Kentucky.  The NFL wants to add another marquee, stand alone game around a certain holiday and Tom Brady sets the record for all time media gaffe by a former player.

   After announcers told everyone the USA's win over Mexico Monday night put the Americans into the next round AND manager Mark DeRosa did interviews acknowledging their ticket was punched.... it turns out they were wrong.  Jac Caglianone homers form team Italy as they beat the USA 8-6 and now our Red, White and Blue await the outcome of tonight's Italy v Mexico game to find out if they advance.  How is this possible?    Travis Kelce credits Taylor Swift for his decision to return to the Chiefs for another year.  And it wasn't what she said to him.  This is pretty strong.    A 12 year old girl from Kearney is headed to Augusta National to play on national tv in the Drive, Chip and Putt competition.  An area golf course group wants to help send her by raising money for the costs... you can help by going to www.tiffanygreensgolf.com.    CNN posts a ridiculous account of the NYC jihadist bomb throwers and takes it down.  When will this stop?  A supermodel from the 1980's has lost her $420 million fortune.   A new documentary in theaters is almost exclusively new Elvis footage that was found in a cave in Kansas.  You have to hear this.    A national sports bar chain has come up with a disgusting buffalo wing flavored cocktail.  And we have the best Father/Son birthday story you will hear this year in our Final Final.

   World... meet Bobby Witt Jr!   Monday night at the World Baseball Classic the Royals superstar put on a show for the ages in a game that could only be described as Madness in March.  USA vs Mexico... heck, there was even a fight in the stands.  This was wild and the reaction from people in sports and politics and everyone in between was pretty much total shock for how Bobby Baseball plays the game.    The Chiefs had a wildly great day off the field as Travis Kelce is returning, the Super Bowl MVP runningback is signed to the team and KC signs a couple defensive players too.  What a haul and we'll tell you why it means the Chiefs are about to change the way they play.    Bill Self got his team on that glass court at the Big 12 tourney and he says it just isn't the same.    The Super Bowl parade shooter believed to have killed Lisa Lopez Galvan is about to walk free and people are shocked.  I'm not... what did you expect in KCMO?    President Trump says the air raid in Iran is a total success and this thing could wrap up sooner than later if they can figure out a succession plan.  The jihadist that tossed bombs on the streets is the child of Afghan immigrants that live in a $2.5 million house in the suburbs.    There was a terrible accident with a teacher and his students in Georgia and now the widow wants authorities to drop charges against the kids.  Another famous company leaves California and Uber makes a smart change for female riders

   A report on Sunday indicates Travis Kelce has decided to come back for a 14th season but says he and his agent may be shopping around to play for somebody other than the Chiefs.  Seems unlikely but I think we'd understand why.    KCI was evacuated due to a bomb threat Sunday as would be passengers poured out of the terminal and planes onto the tarmac, the streets and cell phone lots.  It was a crazy scene.    Iran has chosen the son of the former Supreme Leader to take charge.  This seems like a death wish.  Former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer just unloads on President Obams for his hateful speech at Jesse Jackson's funeral and it didn't sit well with Jackson's son, either.   The conference tournaments are set in KC and Nashville for our area basketball teams.  It starts after a scathing column by a writer in Arizona that can't believe the tourney is in KC every year.    USA Baseball is rolling in the World Baseball Classic and has games against Mexico and Italy the next two nights.  17 Royals are playing in the tournament.   A former runningback at Alabama calls out Nick Saban.   Charlie Woods is the highest priced college golfer and the worlds largest flashlight is changing the eco system in our Final Final.

   Well, your humble host has a pretty good nose for stink when it comes to what liberal law enforcement officials DON'T tell the public.  Our 22 year old man that dropped 20 bombs in a trash can at the World War I Museum is..... yup... wanted by ICE.  Of course he is and of course they didn't want to say it.  This is like "oh, there's children in the hospital" after the shooting at the Chiefs parade.  Ya, those children were the gang member shooters.  It's bad in KC folks, this should be a huge story but you should mostly be concerned at all the important information they keep from us.    Kristi Noem is out at DHS and off to another job that will be announced Saturday.  We'll fill you in on her replacement and why the move was made.    I met Scott Jennings in KC on Thursday and he couldn't have been a nicer man.  He's becoming a huge media star and his number of offers must be off the charts right now.  And.... it seems likely he'll be joining us here on the podcast sometime soon!    Worlds of Fun has been sold, along with 6 other Six Flags parks, to a KC company.    The World Baseball Classic starts with a Shohei Ohtani grand slam.  The royals have a tv disaster on their hands almost as bad as their pitching Thursday night.  KU, MU and KSU know their conference tourney seeds according to USA Today.   The lawsuit against 1587 continues even as the judge denies an emergency request.  A college program's assistant coach is arrested for being a pimp.  Yes, a pimp.    And a music superstar gets popped for a DUI which is about the 20th thing this person has been in trouble for.

   We have so many questions about a man from California that is charged with placing 20 small bombs in a trash can next to Liberty Memorial and the World War I museum.  At the top of the list... why isn't this a bigger story and why don't we know anything about Owen Canizales Argueta?  Jackson County has announced charges against the man but that's about it.  This doesn't pass the smell test.    European countries are doing a 180 with president Trump and will now allow the United States to use their facilities to continue attack Iran.  The B-2's from Whiteman are headed to a base on land owned by the UK.  Shocking, they changed their mind after a drone hit one of their facilities.    A Senator bolts down from the stage and helps two security guards tackle and remove a big, strong protester at an Armed Services committee meeting.  Wait until you hear about the dude that broke in.    A man in Arkansas that is awaiting his trial for murder wins the GOP primary for Sheriff in his county.  You have to hear this story.    A federal court in Tennessee has its first conviction in the Chilean theft ring that broke into the homes of Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.  The Trent McDuffie trade excites Chiefs fans in both good ways and bad.  The Royals have their first announcer in 15 years that isn't a white dude.  Lou Holtz passes at 89 and having been around him many times, it feels like I knew him.  And our Final Final is three stories about three different rock bands.

   It was a rough night in college basketball as a couple things become clear.  Kansas is not the typical squad that's easy to like.  Darryn Peterson has been a distraction, Bill Self lost control Tuesday night and got booted.  Then Jacque Vaughn got a T and Elmarko Jackson committed a flagrant foul.  It had a spoiled brat look we are not used to seeing.  Meanwhile, Mizzou's final week of the regular season starts with a dud of a performance at OU.  Mizzou is not predictable or consistent in any way and it's hard to understand why.    The World Baseball Classic starts for Team USA Friday night... we'll hear from Bobby Witt Jr. who is starring as the leadoff hitter.    The Kansas Senate is working on a state law to require parental permission for a child to leave class and go to a demonstration.  Of course this is so logical the left is losing it's mind.  In Missouri, lawmakers want to bring back driver's education and make it a requirement for graduation.    Mail in voting remains undefeated as Olathe Schools win $389 million from taxpayers in the off election mail in scam of the year.  The emails just keep flowing in about Pastor Adam Hamilton who says he's likely running for US Senator.  Texas has some interesting election results and Kansas Speedway is hosting a national television broadcast this week.

   Like many people, my daily schedule must run on time and has a routine.  While that's a great goal for a president to have, it must be nearly impossible.  We present to you today what we know about President Trump giving the command to attack Iran and the other things he was doing when he gave the nine word order.  It's truly incredible to hear and of course, finished with him ordering hamburgers for everyone at a Whataburger in Texas.  Amazing.    Trump also summed up what we discussed a little on yesterday's podcast... the Dems are going to criticize him no matter what.  Many dems that were calling for action against Iran are now blasting Trump for doing it.  You can't make this up.    Bill Clinton's testimony in the Epstein investigation is sad and embarrassing.  We are not only reminded what a creepy and out of control man he is... now his hands shake profusely and he seems confused.  This is not good for America.    We touched a nerve talking about Pastor Adam Hamilton and his run for US Senate as the emails I received were all about uncomfortable experiences people have had with Hamilton and his church.    I can't get enough infor about the runningback the Chiefs want and now it's believed other NFL teams are on high alert to prevent it.  The Royals announce the signing of an old outfielder that's had a great career.   And ICE has a sneaky new tactic they are using... we'll tell you in our Final Final.  

   Nobody wants war but after nearly 50 years of killing Americans and chanting "Death to America" it was eventually going to happen with Iran and their radical, oppressive regime.  In an incredible show of military precision and strengh, Iran's leaders were taken out and their military operations have been pounded and are in chaos.  To be sure, President Trump did exactly what he said he would do.  He said it on the campaign trail, he warned them publicy and then he did it.  If this somehow creates peace in the middle east, it will be his crowning achievement.    A Kansas City mega church pastor is planning to run for US Senate and he's certainly well known.  But not always for the reasons you may like.     Andy Reid couldn't make it to the NFL Combine this year recovering from a knee procedure but he sure is upbeat about rebuilding his football team.   KU gets beaten up pretty good in Arizona.  Mizzou rolls and has a great shot at finishing 4th or higher in the SEC.  Carter Jensen goes deep for the Royals.  The Cardinals are discounting all you can eat tickets this year and Tyler Reddick wins for the third week in a row in the NASCAR Cup Series.... to start the season!    And something is just a little fishy about our Final Final today.

   It was a tough day for transgenders in Kansas and Missouri and the freakout is pretty funny to watch.  About 1000 Kansans may have to change one letter on their drivers license under a new law that is in place but won't really even be enforced... at least for a while.  My god, what has the world come to.  So triggering.  And in Missouri, the House passes a law that the overwhelming majority of Americans support as they aim to make it illegal for boys to play in girls sports.  Oh, the humanity.    A St. Louis tv station reports one of the greatest stories every as it appears most Missouri police departments are working with ICE and turning over illegals when they commit a crime.  Wait until you hear what the reporter learned about incentives for those departments to cooperate.    The World Cup has a Mexico problem as there are 22 mass graves in and around Guadalajara.  In the first four they've dug out, they have found over 500 body bags from cartel violence.  There are 130,000 "disappeared" people in Mexico and ALL are presumed dead at the hands of cartels.  Are they really playing soccer there?    Jac Caglione and Carter Jensen have a monster day for the Royals in Arizona.  If these guys are good this year.... watch out.  The Royals will be hard to beat.    Hall of Fame golfer Tom Watson and the staff at www.watsonlinks.org announce the cities and states this program will be offered to junior golfers has tripled... amazing.      A golfer at a tournament in South Africa nearly dies... but not on the course.  You have to hear this crazy story of a two time winner that is lucky to be alive.    And our Final Final is quite a joke from the folks at the Tampa airport.

   One day after Donald Trump declared he's putting VP JD Vance in charge of America's "war on fraud" we need a scorecard to keep track of all the federal raids, busts, arraignments and investigations made public in some of our biggest cities.  KC's Mayor Pro Tem is in really hot water over an FBI investigation that's been going on for a full year without her knowing it.  LA, San Fran, Boston, Miami and the mother of all fraud... Minneapolis.. all had big news yesterday.    That takedown on the street by ICE of a 19 year old American in Olathe has a new narrative.  Turns out the young man was road raging ICE agents and is lucky.... no, very lucky... they are not charging him with a crime.   Never, ever believe the one sided first stories regarding ICE enforcing our laws.      World Cup host cities are crying poor and FIFA is threatening to pull out of fan fests and other events around the soccer games if they don't get millions and millions now.... from FEMA!    There is stunning financial data for the Atlanta Braves' Ballpark Village and it's easy to see why the Royals want to try to do this for themselves.    They are only the latest but the fan boy media around K-State Athletics are really embarrassing themselves by piling on the basketball team and coaches right now after four years of publicly drinking the Kool Aid on the biggest hiring disaster in school history.  Don't trust fan boy media anywhere!   And the lawsuit by 1587 Sneakers against 1587 restaurant is not exactly what you think.... we'll fill you in.

   This is my favorite State of the Union address and favorite Trump speech ever.  I've probably said it before but this is the one.  I was imploring Trump as the speech unfolded to go off script and point out that two year olds pout less than the grumpy democrats in the room that couldn't applaud low gas prices, more private sector jobs or closed borders.  Then he dropped the bomb on them.  "Stand up if you agree the first duty of government is to protect American citizens and not illegal aliens."   This was THE moment of the speech and painted a perfect picture of a party hell bent to change America forever by ignoring the laws we all voted for.    Olathe Police say they have now arrested four people total for the high school brawl we saw at Olathe Northwest.   El Mencho got taken out because his Only Fans model that visited him for the weekend was trailed.    In sports, Mizzou gets a big win.  Chiefs GM Brett Veach wants to sign cornerback Trent McDuffie and is excited to rebuild the roster.  George Brett, Salvador Perez and Bobby Witt Jr. now have something very much in common and they celebrated together at spring training.  KU fans want ESPN announcer Fran Fraschilla banned from Allen Fieldhouse.  The UFL has some great new rules this season and our Final Final is a list of businesses you don't want to start.

    Adults have finally entered the room as the Olathe Police Department announces it has taken a juvenile into custody for aggrevated assault for crossing the street to confront a Trump supporter at Olathe Northwest High School.  The videos have now been seen by millions, the dad of the victim is speaking out and most local media are still ignoring a story everyone is talking about.  What a mess our schools and media have become.    The State of the Union is Tuesday night and the President is expected to spend more time on the economy than anything else.  Oh, and it sounds like some hockey players will be there, too.    KU uses two huge runs to pummel Houston at Allen Field House Monday night as Tre White leads the way.  This game says so much about where college basketball is this year.  We have an opinion.    The Chiefs cut defensive lineman Mike Danna and save $9 million off the salary cap, KC's Nate Scheelhaase has become the offensive coordinator of the Rams... it should have been here.  Lyndsay Vaughn says she almost lost her leg after her skiing accident at the Olympics.  Two famous boxers are set to fight again and we've got a penguin at the KC Zoo that's a deadbeat dad.

   Team USA wins Olympic Gold in hockey and if anyone can actually believe it, this seems to be dividing Americans.  Jack Hughes delivered the Golden Goal and the celebration was wild.  It involved a tribute to a fallen teammate, an awkward medal ceremony for the Canadians, the FBI Directory pounding Mich Ultras partying in the locker room and President Trump on the phone.  Trump promised America would get tired of all the winning and if you see what liberals and their media are saying... it's true.  They are sick of Trump and patriotic Americans winning.    It was a tough Saturday for our college basketball teams, especially KU.  Chiefs Receiver Hollywood Brown shares a really sad story about NFL player Rondale Moore who was found dead in a garage.    A crazed gunman fixated on Epstein and Trump goes to Mar-a-Lago with a shotgun and a gas can.  The left just keeps stoking the fire in crazy people to go try to get Trump... even if it kills them.   Two KC area high schools make big news with protests gone wrong... this has to stop.   And our Final Final is a Chiefs legend and a famous actor in a big time commercial.

   It finally happened and I couldn't be happier.  The US Women's Olympic Hockey Team reeled me in to an Olympics I was pouting over because of all the anti Trump coverage from a giant corporate media machine that doesn't hate you enough.  These women are the best and through a fluke, had their backs to the wall against Canada playing for the gold.  But these "Free Bird" rocking, bad ass, flag waving chicks saved the day in dramatic overtime fashion and did what we would all do.  The wore the metals, put on some Lynyrd Skynyrd and drank champagne into the night. God Bless America!   It had been decades since an American figure skater won gold and that ended as well when Alysa Liu dazzled with pure California style and American swagger.  Her story is one NBC Sports doesn't want you to know as China has tried to pay her millions to compete for them.  Her dad was born Chinese and escaped the oppressive regime for America many, many years ago and we watched a true immigration success story play out right before our eyes.     Royals Hall of Famer Bo Jackson shares a really fun story about a really hot day game at Kauffman Stadium.  Gracie Hunt is headed to Turning Point USA with Erica Kirk this summer.    In DC, it's time for a voter ID standing filibuster in the Senate.  We'll give you a history lesson about the longest filibuster on record.  Here's a hint... it has to do with racist democrats.   Trump opens the Board of Peace in DC and shares a couple man crush stories on JD Vance and Marco Rubio.  Kash Patel talks to much on Dan Bongino's podcast.  A television executive says Savanah Guthrie is never going back to the Today Show.  And a famous comedian could be the reason Trump is president today in our Final Final.  

   The highest level Trump administration officials gathered two days ago for a seminar on how to win the midterm elections.  Reports indicate the information they learned and the campaign they will offer are different than what you may think.    Stephen Colbert is just a flat out liar as he has tried to rig a senate primary in Texas in favor of a white male running against Jasmine Crockett, a black female.    The Kansas House overrides the governor's veto and has defined gender in the state that will apply to bathrooms, ID's and driver licences.    U2 goes all Sprinsteen with their own song about Renee Good and it's almost as bad.  But there's a silver lining about local musicians in KC that I'll share with you.    KU rolls at OSU but once Darryn Peterson had a big first half and it was obvious KU had this, he sat with cramps.  Oh, well.   Mizzou builds a 19 point lead over Vandy but has to hang on.  But they did... and they're in pretty good shape for the tourney if they can finish well.   There's a flurry of Chiefs news with Rashee Rice being sued and Patrick Mahomes getting a new contract.  Three college basketball coaches melt down and it makes Jerome Tang look tame.  We have a Gary Lezak story for you and our Final Final is about a tasty treat changing its ingredients.

   While the left works hard to find any little thing that looks bad for ICE or our current enforcement of immigration, the man in charge turns out to be a real human with a real heart.  Wait until you hear the story Tom Homan told at a conference about the victims of our open borders.    According to a report by the Topeka Cap Journal, democrats approved all kinds of voter packets to be sent to Kansans that never requested them.  This is a huge scam.    We have the information you need to disable that start/stop button on your car.  Ron DeSantis hammers NYC over the Mayor's new budget as it's bigger than the entire state of Florida budget.    In sports, no Jerome Tang spells success for KSU as they get a win.  The Royals take batting practice with the new ball/strike computer system on at Surprise Stadium.  It happened on a day the leader of the player's union resigned in a sex scandal.    And a self proclaimed "woke bit__" skating for team USA had a little too much Trump hate in her heart and flamed out on the ice and then embarrassed us all as a total baby balling her eyes out.  Ughh.    Tiger Woods is in the news and our Final Final is a beautiful message about Jesse Jackson.

   If we start to put the pieces of a puzzle together the picture became very clear the past few days... the elderly leaders of the democrat party are being fazed out and don't actually believe the things they've been saying publicly.  President Obama says he's being "aged out" by the younger part of his party and he's right.  But he's not alone.  We take a deep dive.    Meanwhile, Marco Rubio gives one of the greatest speeches in US history by a Secretary of State on foreign soil at the security conference in Germany.  And yes, it was better than AOC's appearance. Wow, what a difference.    An Australian influencer that wanted to live on singer Billie Eilish's "stolen land, borderless property" is turned away after being detained at LAX.   KCUR, the liberal public radio station in KC, infuriates it's listeners by giving airtime to Trump supporters.    In sports, Royals owner John Sherman says they are close to announcing a location and deal for a new stadium.  Gene Taylor has done the impossible at K-State..... he's turned Jerome Tang from the least popular coach in America that nobody supported to a sympathatic figure with an incredible new attorney fighting his cause.    And Pro Football Focus ranks NFL quarterbacks, we'll tell you where Mahomes is listed.   Our Final Final is the go-to BBQ experience in KC that convinced Argentina's officials that our cowtown is the perfect place for them to stay during the World Cup.

   Ok, I know.... we didn't get a podcast up this morning, but hey, it's President's Day.    We were traveling all day right after doing the radio show in the lobby of a hotel.  You may hear some kids in the background and you will definitely hear Cabo woofing at another pup that walked by.  It's near the very end.    Anyway, we need to move President's Day up and the Jerome Tang situation in Manhattan is one of the all time most embarrassing debacles in the 41 years I've covered sports in KC.  Here ya go...

   What has happened that we seem to have two sets of laws in America today.  From Tucson to Minneapolis and now, to KC... enforcement of the law comes down to one thing for those that commit crimes.  Do you love Trump or hate him?   A woman in KC sets fire to the building ICE wants to use and apparently authorities do not care at all.    Karoline Leavitt has fun trolling President Obama over voter ID saying Dems are panicked while posting a cool video.  Switzerland has had enough of illegal aliens pouring in and will hold a vote to limit the population of their country.    In sports, Jerome Tang blasting his players has made the K-State coach famous national as ESPN has a field day with his pathetic words.  The Daytona 500 is set for Sunday... we love the Great American Race.    Danny Clinkscale has a total meltdown on our Patron's Podcast Thursday about Golf Channel's lead announcer Steve Sands... this is hilarious and you will love it.    And our Final Final is a USA skier that says too much.

   At his State of the City address, Mayor Q pledges he will reach an agreement with the Royals this year to build a downtown stadium.  If he pulls it off, this will be great for KC.    Mizzou wins in a wild one at A&M and suddenly anything feels possible.  Meanwhile, Jerome Tang melts down after losing by 29 at a game the students wore paper bags over their heads.    The Olathe School district, already mired in a cesspool of negative stories, is asking for $389 million in a sham mail in vote.  Don't tell them no.  Tell them hell no!    KCMO radio's Pete Mundo has received a tremendous national honor as having one of the top shows in America.  Bobby Witt Jr has brought his puppy to training camp and you can follow on the dog's Instagram page.  The Big 12 makes its "major announcement" about a change in KC for the tourney.  The Chiefs make a nice hire for running backs coach.    ESPN's Seth Greenberg unloads on Darryn Peterson of KU.  We'll play the audio for you.    And say goodbye to the Obama Button in our Final Final.

   We have absolute chaos on the southern border as the FAA has closed the El Paso airport for the next ten days.  Immediately people speculate the Mexican cartels are prepared to fight back on Trump's crackdown by shooting down airplanes.      Also on the border in Arizona, authorities detain a man in Rio Rico to question him about the Nancy Guthrie case.  They released him after 7 hours and is not believed to have any connection and that's a problem.  The man is hispanic and you'd better believe the left is going to go nuts over this.    Trump gives great economic news and a bold prediction.  A senator from Indiana has started a trucker tipline to turn in companies that hire illegal alien drivers, Cuba has cut off international flights as they are running out of fuel on the island and the death of Curt Cobain has a new theory 32 years later.   In sports, the Royals reported to Surprise, Arizona and much to our surprise, a reputable firm has predicted the Royals winning the division.   The Rangers have the most awesome retro jersey giveway ever later this year and an olympian wins a media and begs forgiveness from his girlfriend on live tv.    Our Final Final is about teenage golfer Charlie Woods who has big shoes to fill.  He's decided where he's playing college golf.

   We use the word "history" way too much in sports media.  But Monday night was historic at Allen Field House over the most dramatic regular season three hours in years.  We got a sad little whiny superstar sitting out sick, a staffer on press row texting that Darryn Peterson said, "Eff it" to playing and a wildly enthusiastic Bill Self after knocking off the number one team in the country.  Oh, this made up for all the lack of fun at Super Bowl 60.   Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark was at the game and says big changes are coming to the Big 12 tourney.  Are they about to pay players for performance?    Bad Bunny's halftime show would NEVER have been allowed in English, that's for sure.  So why doesn't the FCC  go after the NFL/NBC hard for all the violations in Spanish.  It could be happening.    175,000 KC residents are now eligible to get their Amazon packages delivered by drones from KCK.  Americans gobbled up a record amount of been in 2025.  Kid Rock hits #1 on the charts while a lesser known artist records an anti-Sprinsteen song for the ages.   The Royals do the cheapest thing ever and a small plane lands on traffic filled road in Georgia and the pilot must have been very hungry.

   It was a rough weekend for patriotic Americans if you turned on your tv to watch the Olympics or the Super Bowl.   What used to be events that showcase the excellence and pride of the greatest nation in history were anything but that this year as it seems people just want to hate the country Trump leads.    The Kansas Jayhawks phoned in a win over Utah on Saturday and now host the undefeated, #1 team in the country Monday night and we all know how this will go.    At just 34 years old, former Royal Terrence Gore passes away from complications during what was supposed to be a routine surgery.  The Super Bowl was a bad game and the halftime show was even worse.  It was clearly an NFL season to forget for Kansas Citians.

   Before we tackle the big game, we ask Stan what the Chiefs can learn from watching the Seahawks and Patriots and how they got here for Super Bowl 60.  His answer will surprise you, not because it's detailed and thorough.  It's because it involves asking Patrick Mahomes to be different kind of quarterback as we start KC 2.0.    As you may know, Stan famously created a mathematic, interesting and fun board game decades ago that plugs in an entire season's stats so he can play teams against each other with his friends the entire off season.  He's played a bunch of games between Seattle and New England and he will share his results.    As analyst for the K-State Network, Stan has been courtside for most of the really good teams in the Big 12 and he will rank them in order for us.  Spoiler... KU is really climbing.    And he shares what it will take for the Missouri Tigers to make the NCAA Tourney.

   NBC Today Show anchor Savannah Guthrie, along with her brother and sister, recorded and released a video where they appeal to possible kidnappers that they are willing to listen about a ranson for their mom Nancy, but they need proof of life.  It was one of the most real, raw, shocking and heartbreaking videos you've ever seen in your life.  This story had all the markings of being historic right from the beginning and it has now captured the attention of an entire nation.   President Trump called Savannah Guthrie and told her he is throwing the full support of all federal agencies into the investigation as it appears authorities at all levels believe there is a chance Nancy is still alive.  This could be so many things.    In sports, I've got one player that is more important than any other in Sunday's Super Bowl and have some some easy to understand numbers that back it up.   Then, are you ready for some silly and fun action at your watch party?  Lee Sterling is here to help us out from the national anthem time to passing yards for qb's.  Only the Super Bowl.   And our Final Final is a building being torn down that matters a great deal to my family.

   The Olathe City Council approved a 165 acre area for a local STAR bond district to be the new corporate home and practice facility for the Kansas City Chiefs.  This was a no-brainer for Olathe.  Officials held a meeting in WYCO as well on Tuesday and will vote to approve their local area for STAR bonds on Thursday.  They say it's small and only includes the new Chiefs area.  We'll see how bit the state of Kansas bond district is somewhere down the road.    It's ticking me off that KSU media and fans are just now on board with what I told them three years ago... Jerome Tang is an awful basketball coach.  Nothing personal, I wouldn't be any good at it either.  But with an $18 million buyout, these people are focusing on the wrong man. AD Gene Taylor is the person that should be fired and they should cut off all funding to Tang and let him lose horribly for at least another year.  Oh, I've got the right plan for KSU but who knows if anyone in charge is ballsy enough to pull the trigger. And all the KSU media types that have ripped me for three years over this... I accept your apology.    It wouldn't be Super Bowl week without a grandpa Mahomes alcohol arrest, a Lions fan seems to have a legitimate lawsuit against a whole bunch of people that have given him the Jussie Smollet treatment.  There's a crime podcaster reporting a new break in the Nancy Guthrie mystery.  Chris Cuomo comes clean on complete botching his Covid coverage and a new steakhouse is coming to KC that I'm betting is a better night out than 1587.  

   The mystery around the abduction of Nancy Guthrie from her bed while she slept sounds worse with every passing hour.  NBC's Savanah Guthrie has released a statement of hope even as authorities say they found blood and signs of a struggle in the home.  We don't know a motive and they haven't named a person of interest.  This is awful.    A whole bunch of singers said crazy things about ICE and such at the GRAMMY Awards Sunday but one in particular stands out as the dumbest.  Now she may get visitors to her house taking her up on her offer that there are no borders and nobody is illegal on any property.  This could get good.   Dan Bongino returns to podcasting and made a statement that's as lame as his work at the FBI.    In sports, the Royals have a new tv deal that should work out for you.  KU is rolling as Darryn Peterson drops two huge three pointers at the end of the game at Tech.  But Flory was the story of this one as KU's defense is just ridiculous right now.  Watch out for this team!    Mizzou has two McDonald's All Americans for the first time.  Kelvin Sampson laments the current rules of transfer and NIL, Roger Goodell is asked about Bad Bunny playing halftime and former Royal Chris Getz is now GM of the White Sox and announces an interesting change he made in the plumbing of the team's locker room.  It's our Final Final and you have to hear this.

   So much buildup and so little sizzle as Mayor Q is a panelist on CBS Face the Nation and I'm really disappointed.  We were hoping he'd be asked about KC being the per capita homeless capital of America or his police chief declaring "drastic" measures to cutback the force because the budget is whacked.  Instead, he almost got edited out completely.    The word around the cowtown is the Chiefs will be announcing the exact location of their new stadium this week... we'll tell you where the smart money is.  Meanwhile, the Royals say they will be announcing their decision sooner than later where they are going.    NBA coach Steve Kerr has been forced to apologize for his outrageous lies about the Trump administration and ICE.  It was real.  But another coach won't back off and is worried ICE will start kidnapping international players and sending them home.  What a fool.    KU star Darryn Peterson sits again after KU built a huge lead over BYU.  He's healthy for tonight's game so maybe this was something else.  I have a new theory.    Mark Turgeon is the new basketball coach at Kansas City (UMKC) and this is a great hire.  Goalies throw down at center ice and one of the world's most famous musicians makes a video in the middle of the Tallgrass Prairie reserve in the Flint Hills.

   What if I told you there's a conservative broadcaster that owns his own media company and is seen as a controversial outsider by members of old school, liberal media and politicians?  What if he was the kind of plain spoken truth teller unafraid of what anyone thinks?     If we aren't talking about your humble host, you'd probably think this would be a really great person to have on KKHI.    Meet Scott Faughn, publisher of www.themissouritimes.com.  He just purchased three more newspapers in Missouri and has his finger on the pulse of everything going on in the Show-Me state.  He knows the governor well.  And yes, he's a Cardinals fan.  You may even hear us spar over the 1985 World Series a smidge.  But we also talk about no income tax, the state of life in KC vs. St. Louis and Trump's tariffs upsetting Missouri farmers.   You're going to enjoy this one

   A new video of left wing agitator Alex Pretti was released by the BBC and it shows Pretti spitting at federal agents, screaming eff you's, flipping the bird and kicking out the tail lights of their car.  Peaceful protest indeed.  Pretti, carrying a gun, was taken to the ground and according to CNN suffered a broken rib.  Amazingly, the didn't see the gun and let him go.  Agents drove away.  It's no wonder these thugs think they can get away with anything.    Bruce Springsteen has a new song for the people of Minneapolis and my inbox is filling up with listeners that are deleting him from the playlists.    Mayor Q says on radio that he was listening to our reporting about the Royals on Tuesday and I"m actually very happy for him.  If a mayor found a way to get baseball downtown without a public vote, he deserves a statue at the new park.    Vahe Gregorian of the KC Star pens a piece on why he didn't vote for Bill Belichick for the Hall of Fame, the very first person to admit it.  When you hear his reason, you will understand just how different liberals and conservatives are in the way they think.   Adam Schefter reports Gardner Minshew is 100% healthy and never did blow out his ACL.  That means something bad was going on with the Chiefs, or their doctors.    And gentlemen, we're about to share something with you that isn't available anywhere but KC.  Its a new concept called www.flexcaves.com and its a place for business, storing a car or boat or having your weekly poker game and smoking cigars in a condo-like storage unit.  They break ground this year in Martin City and Brett Johnson is here to explain why he thinks his ideas will be a huge hit.

   What if the Royals played everyone here and were actually the smartest, most brilliant business tacticians in all of this Kansas City stadium drama?   It's either that or they are the luckiest outfit ever.  We'll let you decide but there's no denying 5 years ago the Royals said they were getting a new stadium and they wanted it downtown.  When that failed at every turn, did they use Overland Park and Kansas officials for leverage to get what they wanted?  Did they let the Chiefs move first, something they know doubt knew was in the works, to let the freak out happen?  It's possible.  If not... wow were they lucky.    Hey, turns out Alex Pretti was known to the feds as a problem... we have some details.  Also in Minneapolis, an agitator confronts Ilhan Omar and, get this, the Minneapolis local police arrest the guy.  Go figure.   Bill Belichick fails to get the vote to enter the Pro Football Hall of Fame and it shows just how absurd and petty the committee members are.  The Chiefs name two local architecture firms working to design their new stadium.  I don't think it's a competition.  Darryn Peterson is ready to rock Saturday against BYU and their star freshman AJ Dybansta.  K-State has a buyout problem with Jerome Tang, Mizzou gets drilled at Alabama.    A billionaire is paying our Olympic athletes and a man in New Jersey is ordered by his wife to return expensive orange juice to the store and it turns out your wife always knows best.  You have to hear this Final Final.

   According to Missouri lawmaker Mike Jones, KC Mayor Quinton Lucas has $500 million in the Port KC slush fund that he's offering the Royals to build a ball park in KCMO.  Jones says this should require a vote... but that isn't how this game is played.  There was no vote in Kansas.  Give Q credit for finding a way, even if it feels wrong.  And if this number is true, the Missouri offer could actually top the Kansas offer.    In Kansas, the Senate Democrats Chief of Staff has told people in his circle the Royals to Overland Park is a "done deal," but the announcement has to wait.   Information obtained by KKHI shows that Cory Sheedy believes the city of Overland Park and T-Mobile are delaying the inevitable move.  This would all make sense as the mortgage holder of the land has told T-Mobile they will not be renewing the lease when it expires.  The Royals and OP, at all cost, must not allow 5000 T-Mobile jobs leave KC and relocate to Bellevue, Washington.  This is tricky,    Tom Homan is on the ground in Minneapolis and set to meet with the Mayor to calm down the insanity in that city.    Andy Reid basically fired Matt Nagy and now he's lobbying to get him hired because Nagy is a "gem."  The Royals sign a deal with Circa Sports Book for premium experiences with the team and at Kauffman Stadium.  We have some tasty Super Bowl nuggets for you, a moment of silence at a hockey game goes wrong and the daredevil climber on Netflix last weekend got ripped off.

   The problems in Minneapolis are created by leaders that are more than willing to sacrifice their own voters going to prison, getting injured or in extreme cases of attacking federal agents, getting killed.   How is it that democrats break the law and act like those laws shouldn't be followed... and somehow that inspires people?  This whole thing is insane.    Maybe not as insane as the man that climbed a skyscraper with no ropes or safety devices, live on Netflix.  Wow was this hard to watch.    KU closes strong to beat a really awful KSU team as we predicted they would.  But the huge celebration was a little beneath their once great status.  Mizzou made history with a pair of buzzer beaters in a wild win over OU.  Two former high school athletes from KC made huge news with the best game by a college player this year while the other make the Olympic bobsled team.    And Stan has a few minutes for us today to talk about Andy Reid's coaching hires and the NFL Championship games from Sunday.

   Predicting what Trump will do next is a whole lot easier than predicting sports.  Our president finished up Greenland, laid waste to the globalists at Davos and now turns his attention to Canada and their terribly disrespectful Prime Minister.  Welcome to the next great theater.    Arrests have been made of the bullies that ended that church service in St. Paul a few days ago and guess what, they are paid professionals to organize such events.  And its very, very illegal to interfere with worship.  And these could be double hate crimes as they were chanting slurs about white people.  But Don Lemon claims he was just a journalist there and so far, the courts agree he shouldn't be charged.  Here we go!   A famous rapper sues the KCPD, Missouri officials (rightfully) meet in secrecy in Jeff City to try to save the Royals from leaving to Kansas.  I'll preview the NFL title games and Bill Self is back on the court at Bramlage Saturday night... we hit on some KU-KSU hoops.    Then, I play a clip of my friend www.dannyclinkscale.com as we had quite a discussion on a Patron's Podcast Thursday.  One of our topics was Carlos Beltran into the Baseball Hall of Fame.  You won't believe how much Danny dislikes this.   And our Final Final is Mr. Wonderful turning to acting.  It's true.
