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.

John Maytham is joined by Jay-D Muller, climber and climbing coach. He helps us look beyond the spectacle to the unseen work behind the scenes — the training blocks, risk management and mental discipline required to perform under extreme exposure. Muller explains why climbs like Taipei 101 are less about bravado and more about precision, endurance and deep familiarity with both body and environment. Afternoon Drive with John Maytham is the late afternoon show on CapeTalk. Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist. His show serves a round-up of local and international news coupled with the latest in business, sport, traffic and weather.

Hour 2: Hit The Skins / Taipei 101 Climber Alex Honnold / Junkies Blitz - Mike McCarthy hired in Pittsburgh
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.
Heavy snow, freezing rain and brutal cold leaves nearly 1 million Americans without power, while airlines and roads face major disruptions nationwide. Plus, new tensions erupt in Minneapolis following the killing of ICU nurse Alex Pretti — the second fatal shooting by federal immigration agents in the city this month. Also, 40-year-old American climber Alex Honnold cements his place in daredevil history by scaling the landmark Taipei 101 tower without ropes. And, the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks head to Super Bowl LX after a wild playoff weekend. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The problems they're making in Minnesota are intentional, and you're at the center of it: Will you respond in the way you're supposed to, with compassion? And then will they use that against you, politically? Because that's the ultimate goal.
Is climbing fun?
On Saturday night the world watched as Alex Honnold scaled one of Asia's tallest buildings without ropes or a harness. This morning we chatted with local climbing expert Fabian Schillings about what it takes to accomplish a free solo like that and if it made him nervous to watch.

Two of the world's most accomplished blind climbers, Erik Weihenmayer and Andy Holzer share their story, from the serendipitous first meeting on a high ledge in the Dolomites to climbing Everest from opposite sides. It's a testament to human connection, resilience, and the art of overcoming “impossible” challenges.
The sixth in our series on the Seven Summits, Carstensz Pyramid, is the tallest peak within Oceania. While some Seven Summits lists include Mount Kosciuszko in Australia, most modern lists acknowledge Carstensz Pyramid due to its higher altitude and increased technical challenge. Locally known as Puncak Jaya, the peak sits at 4,884m or 16,024 feet above sea level, on the island of New Guinea. Unlike all other peaks on the list of seven summits, Carstensz Pyramid is a true rock climb, where climbers ascend a limestone ridgeline with both vertical walls and exposed traverses. - Much of the climb has been fixed with ropes, including a span which now has a cable bridge, to accommodate the number of climbers looking to climb the mountain and prevent issues of overcrowding. - Due to it's relatively low altitude, as compared to it's counterparts, climbing Carstensz is generally quite quick, and much of the true adventure lies in the many-day trek through the jungle to reach the base of the peak. - Unfortunately, with a long history of unrest in the jungle, it has become standard to heli into basecamp for your climb. With ethnic tribal conflicts and civil disturbances, it's no longer feasible to trek through the jungle.

What happens when a podcast stops being something you listen to and becomes something you physically show up for? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I wanted to explore a different kind of tech story, one rooted in community, endurance, and real human connection. I was joined by Sam Huntington, a Business Development Officer at Wells Fargo, who has quietly built something special at the intersection of technology, entrepreneurship, and cycling through his podcast and community project, Hill Climbers. Sam's story starts far from a studio. It begins on a bike, moving through Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and eventually Austin, where chance conversations on group rides turned into friendships, business relationships, and eventually a podcast. We talk about why endurance sports and startups share the same mental terrain, the moments when you want to quit, and how those moments often define the outcome. Sam explains how Hill Climbers evolved from recorded conversations into weekly rides, live podcast tapings, and in person events that bring founders, investors, and operators together without name badges or pitch decks. We also dig into what makes Austin such a magnetic place for founders right now, and why community building outside Silicon Valley feels different when it is built around shared effort rather than curated networks. Sam shares lessons learned from taking a podcast offline, including the early weeks when hardly anyone showed up, the temptation to stop, and the persistence required to build momentum. There is a refreshing honesty in how he describes growing something slowly, resisting shortcuts, and letting trust compound over time. This conversation is also a reminder that meaningful networks are rarely built through algorithms. They are built through shared experiences, discomfort, friendly competition, and showing up consistently when no one is watching. Whether you are a founder, an investor, or someone trying to build a community of your own, there is something grounding in hearing how relationships form when work is not the opening line. As more of our professional lives move online, are we losing the spaces where real connection happens, and what would it look like for you to build community around a shared passion rather than a job title?

CX Goalkeeper - Customer Experience, Business Transformation & Leadership
Live from LEAD-26 in Zurich. Stephan Siegrist is a professional alpinist. He says leadership means taking the lead when situations are uncomfortable. In mountaineering one person often needs the next rope length and must make small decisions by the centimetre and larger choices every half hour. Some choices are life threatening. On a recent Nepal expedition his youngest team member developed high altitude pulmonary sickness. The medical problem required bringing the person down quickly. Stefan decided the team must bring him down. He said the most important thing is that everyone comes back home safely. Stefan spoke about risk and crisis. He said if you do not take any risk you do not get forward. He advised to push to the limit but not until it starts bleeding. Over years climbers develop knowledge to find that balance.

In this episode of 'Disaster Strikes,' hosts Kaycee McIntosh and Julie Henningsen delve into the tragic story of Natalia Nagovitsyna, a Russian mountaineer who perished while attempting to summit Victory Peak in Kyrgyzstan. Despite having already conquered four of the five Snow Leopard Peaks, Natalia's climb ended in heartbreak on August 2025, with her and fellow climber Luca Sinigaglia losing their lives in one of the world's most unforgiving mountain terrains. The episode explores the brutal conditions of Victory Peak, the heroic but ultimately futile rescue efforts, and the sobering realities of high-altitude mountaineering.
