Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

   Ukraine President Zelensky showed up in DC to beg for billions more of our tax dollars and didn't even show the respect and courtesy to put on a jacket and tie.  Dude looked like a third world dictator and dragged this pathetic administration down yet another notch.

   Why is he here?  Simple.  He's losing a war and Republicans are about to cut him off.  I've got the facts on just how grim it is for Ukraine in this fight.

   Bitter cold will be the story for the Chiefs/Seahawks game on Saturday and that usually is an advantage for the lesser team.  We'll tell you what the Chiefs are doing to prepare.

   Once Chiefs player was a huge surprise for many of you to make the Pro Bowl roster but not his fellow players.

  And the Mets are getting close to spending a billion dollars in free agency... baseball has a whole new problem on its hands.

   Ukrainian President Zelensky is in Washington DC to pick up another $45 Billion of our money in what is becoming a completely insulting scam on the American people.

   You may have seen the Tom Cruise movie promo during the Chiefs game Sunday, now a video of his craziest stunt even has hit the internet and gone viral.

   Yes, it's true, a Chiefs super fan has robbed a bank in Oklahoma.  This man's lie of a life is going to be one heck of a documentary some day.

   Andy Reid gets totally, off the charts arrogant with reporters saying, "nothing gets past us."  If that's true, I have one question for the coach.  Why is his son in jail?  

   And Hall of Famer Franco Harris dies at 72, just days before the 50th anniversary celebration of the immaculate reception.

   Whoever is chair of the Republican National Committee better have one heck of a game plan.  Donald Trump Jr. pointed this out in front of 12,000 people at a Turning Point event this weekend, we'll share what he says.

   On the same stage, Missouri Senator Josh Hawley just crushed it with a speech about problems with American young men.  Hawley looked and sounded different than any time before.

  Kansas City has a new police chiefs, promoted from within.  Major Stacy Graves is promoted becoming the first female chief in KC and Mayor Q isn't very happy about it all.  Of course he's not. This way when crime doesn't come down it can't possibly be his fault... he'll pin it on Republicans in Jeff City.

   There may be plenty of legitimate reasons Harrison Butker is missing kicks for the Chiefs but nobody wants to hear it.   This is one of those absolutes in sports.  Make the kicks and we won't really notice, miss them and we'll run you out of town.

   And UTSA just finished an 11 win football season so why is their coach so hot under the collar?  Simple... bigger schools are stealing his players.  What a mess.

   Can you win in the NFL and be disappointed?  It's certainly a question Chiefs fans are considering this week as the wins pile up despite sloppy play all over the board.  Stan Weber joins us to take a hard look at what the Chiefs have to do in order to make it to the Super Bowl.

  The AFC contenders had a hard time of it this weekend but keep winning.  And there's a new contender nobody is talking about.  Watch out.

  Most bowl games don't feel important at all but that's not the case for the Missouri Tigers as they get ready to play Wake Forest Friday.  It feels like this game will define their season.

The Chiefs get out of Houston with their 11th win of the season, and are once again crowned AFC West Champions. KC once again proves they aren't capable of playing someone else's game, so to speak. There's issues that need to be brought to attention. Miami couldn't quite knock off Buffalo in the snow, which would have given the Chiefs a total break this weekend after playing a generous C- game against the Texans.

   It's not one of the crazier Patrick Mahomes stats you've ever heard but he will accomplish a first in Sunday's game.  And it will make you question whether it's true.

  Then, www.dannyclinkscale.com joins us for a Between the Lines reunion. Danny is back from a sweet vacation and we'll talk about a new downtown ballpark and the Chiefs matchup Sunday in Houston.

   And finally, Lee Sterling of www.paramountsports.com has your points spread picks in the NFL and our local college bowl games.

   Authorities in San Francisco have released some new details about the attack on Paul Pelosi.  It is, however, a fraction of the information needed to learn anything and it is entirely political.

   In DC, out of nowhere, Democrats are introducing the "Puerto Rico Status Act" as they are trying to get the island to become the 51st state and swing the balance of the Senate.

   Consumer spending in November was down six times as much as economists thought.... are we in big trouble here?

   The Chiefs have a great shot at being the one seed in the AFC playoffs and on this episode, we break down the schedule and chances for the Chiefs, Bills and Bengals

   A soccer team owner in Italy has offered women for his players if they win a big match... you have to hear who this guy is, what he used to be and the term he used to describe his offer.  Amazing.

   And Ohio State fans are miffed their school offered a 5 star football recruit only $500,000 to play for the Buckeyes.  According to a report, the player is receiving a total 5 year offer of $5.8 million from the University of Georgia.  College athletics are quickly dying.

   Royals Chairman John Sherman finally has me optimistic about a new ballpark downtown for the Royals.  Sherman said at a public event Tuesday that private money will take care of the "major part" of the $2 billion project.  At this point, there's no reason not to believe him.  But it would sure be a first in this town if he comes through. 

   Peyton Manning told a story about Bill Belichick on the Manningcast Monday night that is just fantastic.  You won't believe what the storied coach did to get a chance to meet model/actress Pamela Anderson.

  It's a terribly uncomfortable topic I have avoided too long on this podcast but as the Democrats invite drag queens to the White House and hold ceremonies for faux "advancements" all around sexual preference, gender and identity... it's time to state the truth.  

   And how does this president sleep at night with what's happening at our southern border?  One view of a video of police officer Courtney Bannick should be enough to prioritize stopping fentanyl from coming into our great country.  You want to hear this story. 

   The founder of crypto mess FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried, has been arrested in the Bahamas.  He's eventually coming to America and will be tried on multiple counts of fraud and like jailed for decades.  This is good news as it's pretty much the only Democrat I can think of that has been popped since Joe Biden became president.

   Inflation numbers released Tuesday were better than expected and the stock market is jumping.  I'll take all the good news I can get.

   Mississippi State football coach Mike Leach died Monday night after suffering a heart attack Sunday.  "The Pirate" was one of a kind and is already missed.

   Texas basketball coach Chris Beard is in really big trouble after being charged with assaulting his longtime girlfriend.   And Chiefs coach Andy Reid has one message to Patrick Mahomes after his star tossed three interceptions:  "Keep firing."  

   The Football Feast is jam packed with NFL playoff contenders as the Chiefs beat the Broncos again... this time in a nail biter that should have been a laugher.  Turnovers continue to keep KC from being an elite team and Stan Weber is here to tell us if the Chiefs can fix it.

  We also take a hard look at the Buffalo Bills who have a ton of problems on their own, even though they keep winning.  

   The Eagles are the only truly complete team in the league as they just roll the Giants.

   And Mizzou coach Eli Drinkwitz sure had an interesting week.

   Many of us thought this Border War was a return to the good old days of a real rivalry.  Instead, we got another KU beatdown over a former rival that doesn't belong on the same floor.  It was ugly, hideous and not entertaining.

   That meant the most interesting thing to see was Mizzou football coach Eliah Drinkwitz holding up a sign about KU being cheaters.  It rang hollow.

  Also this weekend, the NFL is serious about teams not faking injuries on the field by issuing massive fines to the Bengals and Saints.

   I can't wait for the Border War game with KU at MU Saturday as it just conjures up so many great memories and should be a competitive game that means a lot to many.  It sort of signifies the start of college basketball season as the college football regular season is over.

   The Chiefs are flexed out of prime time and get Ian Eagle calling their regional game against Denver Sunday.  Does anyone else think a little humbling for the boys is a good thing?

   Nuclear energy official Sam Brinton, who has lots of local ties, is charged again for stealing another bag from an airport carousel.  We've got a non binary, serial thief on our hands.

  And Lee Sterling of www.paramountsports.com is here with a full slate of NFL picks and lots of bowl games on the horizon.

   WNBA star Brittney Griner is on her way home after 9 months in Russian prison and that's a good thing.  The Biden administration traded a man named "the Merchant of Death" for Griner and some believe it was a very lopsided trade.

   The manager at Olive Garden in Overland Park has been fired after demanding his employees prove they have a real reason to miss work.  This is getting national attention.

   Topeka High basketball coach George Lyons is claiming Valley Center High fans are racist and hollered slurs at his players last week.  Did it happen or is this another of those cases where nobody heard it except one person?

   Kansas City Star Editor Mike Fannin is out after 25 years at the paper.  I competed hard against this man when he was Sports Editor but the more liberal he became, the more he got promoted.  His DUI this summer was the final straw.  Even though I never really liked him, I wish him the best in the future.

   Patrick Mahomes, appearing on Carrington Harrison's 610 Sports Radio show, may have just made his strongest case yet for what kind of competitor he is.  You have to hear what he said about the Bengals.

   And K-State AD Gene Taylor did not celebrate on the field Saturday with his Big 12 Title winning football team.  He was alone in a hotel room watching.  You have to hear this.

   The more Mizzou talks about not playing KU in a bowl game, the worse it gets.  I like Eli Drinkwitz because he's unafraid and says things... this time... he's saying way too much and it looks bad.

   Ditto for Chiefs safety Justin Reid who, ridiculously, now says he was right about the Bengals.  Andy has to shut this guy up, fast.

   The Royals are not only bad, they are unlucky.  The draft lottery happened Tuesday night and it was nothing short of a disaster for KC.

   Elon Musk has provided clarity into how criminal the FBI has been the past several years rigging elections in America and it's likely the biggest government scandal of our lifetimes.

   And I can't wait for you to meet A.J. Kahn from www.operationhomefront.org.  A.J. works with active military families in our area as part of this wonderful national organization and we'd be honored if you could either donate or get involved this holiday season to help a couple families that have had disaster strike.

   Actor Kirstie Alley has died at the age of 71 after what's being described as a short battle with an aggressive cancer.  She was beloved by millions of Americans for her role on Cheers, which was a difficult role to take.  Alley was from Wichita, went to KU and had the audacity to support Trump in 2016.  These facts made a couple celebrity tributes to her life just a little selfish.

   Lawyer Harmeet Dhillon says she's running for chair on the RNC and she's got a decent sounding plan.  She's smart and tough.  But there is one huge problem for her that would probably keep you from hiring her as your football coach.

   We asked everyone to retain Kansas Supreme Court Justice Caleb Stegall in the midterm election and now you know why.  This man just resigned his cushy gig as and adjunct professor at KU's Law School over principle.  You want to hear this story.

   Missouri  pols are wigging out that their voters are demanding they legalize sports betting.  Missouri has dragged its feet but it will likely be good in the long run.  Missouri now gets to see what Kansas has done wrong and do better for Show Me state taxpayers.   This is imminent.

   A 19 year old American soccer player takes heat for something harmless and Tom Brady is getting credit where it isn't due this time.  Brady's Monday night comeback was a gift from the refs and the Saints.

   The computer says the Chiefs are still the favorite to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl but I'm not buying it.  It's pretty obvious now the Chiefs own their division but don't be the best teams very often.  Tom Brady in AFC Title game and then the Super Bowl, the Bills (except a :13 second miracle) repeatedly and of course Joe Burrow and the Bengals.  It's a very real problem.  Stan Weber is here to offer if is  a flashing yellow or a six alarm fire.

   Kansas State wins it's third Big 12 Football Championship in a thrilling, hard fought overtime game against TCU in Dallas.  This game had it all including some gritty, tough individual performances.  And, if it were two years from now, K-State would have one of the four byes in the 12 team playoff.  This year, not so much.

  KU and MU won't play each other in a bowl game and it's a complete joke.  We break down what went wrong.

   KKHI weekend has a role reversal as I will host and Spencer is the guest after we had a great time in Dallas at the Big 12 Title Game.  We'll share some stories and talk some football including the Playoffs being set and where MU and KU may be bowling.  It's all brought to you by www.homewithcornerstone.com and www.eeoutdoor.com 

  The U.S. Men's Soccer Team looks to surprise us all by advancing Saturday at the World Cup.  One thing is for sure, our players and fans aren't in near the danger people in other countries are.  This tourney shows us how different governments change lives for humans everywhere.

  Patrick Mahomes appeared on Travis Kelce's podcast and has told some wild stories about how he got drafted by the Chiefs and makes it sound like he actually drafted himself.  We also preview the Chiefs/Bengals.

  The key to the Big 12 Championship Saturday is K-State's defense.  It's really that simple and I explain why.

  Then, Lee Sterling of www.paramountsports.com joins us with his point spread picks.

   For weeks it's been reported that Apple is dropping Twitter from the App Store and a clash of the titans was coming.  That's when Elon Musk did what any practical businessman would do... he went to Apple HQ and met with  CEO Tim Cook.  After two minutes, this story went away.  What an example.

   Fed Chair Jerome Powell says nobody saw this inflation coming and he sounds like he's reading right out of the Dem playbook.

   Sam Brinton, the non-binary  nuclear advisor to the Biden administration that stole a $3000 designer bag from a carousel at the Minneapolis airport is a proud grad of a local college.  You gotta hear this.

   TV meteorologist Gary Lezak is retiring from the medium today.  But he's not retiring.  I'll fill you in on what my long time friend is doing next.

   The 12 team playoff is approved for college football beginning in 2024 and Mizzou Hoops has a huge December ahead.  The undefeated Tigers look great so far.

   It may be a sad commentary on society today but good, nice, friendly people stand out in our society and get noticed.  We can also use this to make a difference.  I'll share a couple stories about this audience the past couple weeks that will make you feel good.

   Four dem Senators, possible speaker Kevin McCarthy and the Supreme Court are all giant threats to Joe Biden's illegal border policy and he knows it.  Or his team knows it.  Now that dems are signing on... can we finally start turning people away?

   A craft beer bar in KC known for being a liberal activist hangout is closing because the liberal policies at the bar drove away all their customers.  You gotta hear this story.

   Christian Pulisic suffered a really, really painful double injury scoring the only goal in the United States' 1-0 win at the World Cup over Iran.  I'll take this dude on my team any day!

   Qatar is the host for the soccer tourney and they have admitted a gruesome, cruel statistic about hosting the even that has killed hundreds of people.

   The Chiefs special teams rank dead last in this area, Tiger Woods takes on Greg Norman and it's pretty clear TCU is in the College Football Playoff now... even with a loss.

   With so much frustration felt by so many conservatives after the last two years, it's pretty obvious that complaining about it all will do nothing.  This was a big issue at a speaking event I emceed Monday night and to be perfectly blunt, it's not who conservatives are.

   One of the ways to get change right now is through legal cases in front of the Supreme Court.  The illegal border policy case starts today as justices will hear arguments that the Biden administration is breaking the law.

  Patrick Mahomes and his wife welcome a baby boy... Bronze Mahomes.

  KU hoops was missing a couple players in an easy win Monday night, we'll have the latest on when they may return. 

   And K-State is feeling really, really good about beating TCU in the Big 12 Championship game Saturday.  Are they right?  Overconfident?  Or just providing bulletin board material?

   It's the Football Feast as we discuss just how easy it was for the Chiefs to beat the Rams, even though KC was sloppy at times.  The Bengals are up next and Cincy is hot as they're 7-2 in their last 9.  Stan Weber gives us the scouting report on the surging Bengals.

   The we discuss K-State's dominant win over KU and what the Cats have ahead Saturday in the Big 12 Championship Game.

   And why isn't Kansas vs. Missouri already set as the Liberty Bowl game in Memphis?  This should be the easiest bowl call ever.... and it's feeling like it may not happen.

   We hope you had a great holiday but it might not have been as good as the tasty turkey for the KU, KSU and MU basketball teams as they are now a combined 18-0 this year.  And the last two wins came with some deliciously good fortune.

   Then, you'll meet Michael Stewart.  Stewart is an engineer in Topeka who designs roads and highways and such and he's obviously a smart and successful man, raising his family as a great conservative.  Oh, and he listens to this podcast every day.

   Well, Stewart got the itch to write a novel and his concept for the "The Hills be Shaken" is one that seems to fit Hollywood perfectly.  Stewart's website is www.michaelstewart.fun if you'd like to get an autographed copy or just order it on Amazon.  He's got a great personal story and a book getting great reviews that could be the perfect gift pickup on this Black Friday. 

   Happy Thanksgiving to all and we're pretty sure you'll be mixing if some football with your feast so here's your weekend preview. 

   The Chiefs get a crippled Rams team that's in last place it what was supposed to be a great matchup.

   KU and KSU battle Saturday night and Jayhawks coach Lance Leipold will coach with a fat new contract.

   Mizzou tries get get bowl eligible against Arkansas and Lee Sterling of www.paramountsports.com is offering up his college blowout of the year.  Enjoy!

   Twitter is like junior high, maybe that's why they call some nut jobs on the left "hall monitors."  These people are fleeing the site and we're all better for it.

   In journalism, it's cool to say you're leaving Twitter but not cool to say why.  ESPN's Jeff Passan, who lives in KC, says he's moving all his breaking stories to Instagram but stops short of insulting Elon Musk or conservatives.  Wait until you hear the ridiculous reason he says he's doing this.  Just tell the truth.

   CBS News tried to leave Twitter but came back in just 36 hours.  And that was just the beginning of their horrible week.

   An 18 year old model is selling her virginity to go to Oxford Business school.  You have to hear how much she's been offered and what this could mean moving forward.

   News flash... the United States is not good at soccer.

    And KU coach Lance Leipold is in full coach mode right now with his team falling apart the past few weeks.  He says he sees one thing that has him feeling really good this week.

   The Los Angeles Chargers tried and tried and tried to beat the Chiefs Sunday night.  But come on, how are you going to beat Patrick Mahomes if you leave him nearly two minutes on the clock?   Those poor Chargers are so close.... yet so far from winning the AFC West.

   As Stan Weber joins us from the beach, we talk Chiefs, NFL and all our area college teams.  It's a big game in Manhattan Saturday night as K-State has a chance to beat KU and go to the Big 12 Title game.

   And in Columbia Friday, the Tigers take on the Razorbacks with bowl eligibility on the line.  We've got it all on the Football Feast.

   It was a fun week doing some interviews elsewhere but a pair of them stood out and thought you might like to hear them.

   First, it's really fun sports talk with Scott Kaplan and Crew in Southern California.  I've known Scott for over 20 years and he always brings up interesting topics.  topics like sports owners in California failing after their daddy left them a team.  Quite a contrast to KC.  And, if you'd like... I will give you the info on how to see this interview on You Tube.

   Then Pete Mundo from KCMO Talk Radio asked me to join him to discus the possibility of a new downtown ballpark for the Royals.  Pete's always on point.

   Nancy Pelosi announced she's resigning from leadership but let's be certain about one thing, she isn't going away.  There will be interviews, documentaries and behind the scenes control she won't be able to relinquish.  They'll talk about greatness, but her legacy is she's leaving behind a calamity on the American public.  

   The Chiefs have a huge game against the Chargers that everyone expects KC to just go win.  But the Chargers receivers will have something to say about this as Keenan Allen and Mike Williams are ready to use their advantage on the KC defense.  I expect this to be a really hard game.

   K-State fans are rooting like crazy for KU this week, Mizzou has a shot in the arm game in the non-con and Lee Sterling of www.paramountsports.com has his college football underdog of the year this week.

   It's so frustrating with all the information available to Americans that the left continues to control the narratives by reporting lies for 24 hours before quietly correcting stories.  And all anyone believes is what they heard first.  

   Now it's happening in KC with the Royals wanting a new $2 billion ballpark that is all sunshine and unicorns.  www.tonyskansascity.com has a lead story today about where the park will be located and what it will do to a longstanding, proud community.

   The Leawood Police have gone viral in a great way after body cam footage shows a group of officers saving a woman from underneath her burning car.

   And while the Chiefs can't lose the AFC West Sunday night against the Chargers, it's pretty obvious they can win the division.  We'll break it down for you.

   We pride ourselves in featuring a large number of issues on the podcast but this time we focus on Three Big Things.  

   Trump is running after a low key, presidential speech.  KU looks like KU without head coach Bill Self.  And Royals owner John Sherman wants at least $2 billion for a new ballpark.

   We also manage to sneak in just a couple words on Mizzou busting out 105 points and K-State settling on Will Howard as their starting quarterback.

   The midterm blame game is full on between Republicans everywhere, even as they take over the House of Representatives.  But it's pretty obvious what needs to happen as we now allow elections "months" and weeks after to gather more votes.  Conservatives have to embrace the lunacy of the system and join the fray.

   The Chiefs special teams have been especially bad this year but now is not the time to fire Dave Toub.

   KU and Duke are set to meet in the Champions Classic without Bill Self and Coach K.  This will be fun... but a little odd.

   The UK has listed a whole bunch of funny laws in Qatar for fans traveling to the world cup... you have to hear what can get you in jail there.

   And Niners QB Jimmy Garapolo is quite the hit with the ladies at an NBA game.

   It's the Football Feast and Stan Weber joins us to talk about the Chiefs fairly easy win over the Jags and taking over the top spot in a crowded AFC.  

  Then, we talk K-State football as the Wildcats once again control their own destiny to make the title game in Dallas.  Has Will Howard finally taken over the starting QB job?

   The Kansas Jayhawks and Missouri Tigers each did some nice things Saturday but stopping or even slowing the opponent's offense wasn't one of them.  Could they be bowl bound to face each other in the post season?

Kevin joins Spencer for the weekend episode. K-State has their guy at QB moving forward, and coach Chris Klieman knows it. KU out-gained Texas Tech and lost by 15, that one was a head-scratcher. Missouri was clearly out-matched against Tennessee, and their defense regressed, can the Tigers still make a bowl game? All that and more!

   The countless counting in several states, not just Nevada and Arizona is just mind boggling.  I can't take it any more as we have to be a little worried something nefarious is going on here.

   We know about the 6 million vote lead for the GOP and we're learning more about where it came from.  Republicans made huge gains, again, with young black and Hispanic voters.  You'll like these numbers.

   The Chiefs are at home but Mizzou, KU and KSU are all on the road... we'll preview the games.

   Then, Lee Sterling of www.paramountsports.com gives us his thoughts on a slew of point spreads this weekend.

   It may not make you feel completely better but this was a complete and utter beatdown by the GOP nationwide as Republicans got over 6 million more votes than Dems.  In voting for the House, the GOP leads 52.3% to 46.2% nationwide.  That's a beatdown almost as big as the historic 2010 Tea party movement.

   KKHI has conducted the first Trump vs. DeSantis primary straw poll in our area, non scientific of course.  It happened at our patrons party Wednesday night and you may be shocked by what happened.

   Saturday Night Live is going to get a huge ratings boost as Dave Chappelle hosts this week.  But some writers on the show have walked off because a free speech believing black man is hosting and that's just too much for these white liberals. 

  Chiefs coach Andy Reid faces former assistant Doug Pederson and the Jaguars Sunday at Arrowhead.  Andy has had 10 assistants become head coaches and his record against them is insane.

  A KC area high school basketball star that went to Mizzou, became a fan favorite and later became a coach is involved in one of the saddest tragedies ever as he kills his wife and then himself.

   And former KU Jacque Vaughn is rewarded for excellent work, loyalty and persistence to become the head coach of the Brooklyn Nets.

   Before you start feeling a gloomy, remember, winning the House is winning the House.  And while there was certainly no red wave, there was a voter shift by people that aren't happy with what's going on.  We'll take it.

   The state of Missouri, like Florida, was a statewide sweep and beatdown by the GOP.  God bless Missourians!

  The biggest loser in all this is not Amanda Adkins in District 3 of Kansas, it's now obvious that seat is gone forever.  Johnson County has swung left and bad things are coming.... take it to the bank.  No, the biggest loser was Derek Schmidt who lost by just a few thousand votes after completely ignoring campaigning in the KC area.  It was a horrible strategy that still would have worked if not for two other also rans on the ballot that got over 30,000 votes.

   The Senate hangs in the balance but still looks like it's going GOP... hang on tight.

   It's election day and we're already hearing about a "red mirage" by ABC News as they expect it to take days "or even weeks" to count all the early votes.  What?  Shouldn't early votes be the first counted?

   I'll share a couple personal stories about why I love voting and how it began.

   Donald Trump announces he will have a big announcement next Tuesday, the 15th.  I think we know what that means.

   Chiefs owner Clark Hunt says the Chiefs were in compliance with NFL rules when Britt Reid got drunk at work.   Good for him, but it doesn't answer the question why they felt compelled to pay the family of Ariel Young millions of dollars.

   College basketball started Monday night... we'll talk about a couple players to watch.  

   And Kate Upton is having her best week ever with hubby Justin Verlander winning the World Series... in the process... she's making Giselle Bundchen look pretty bad.

   It's the football feast as the Chiefs set a couple NFL records Sunday night against the Titans.  It was never easy and took another Mahomes miracle, but KC moves to 6-2 and tied for the best record in the AFC.  Stan Weber was amazed, as we all were, and here's here to break it down.

   Then it gets a little chippy as I disagree with Stan about the quarterback situation at K-State.  

   KU is bowl bound after beating down OSU and Mizzou suffers yet another loss because a a totally whacky play. 

The Kansas Jayhawks are going to a bowl game for the first time since 2008, as they beat up on Oklahoma State. K-State is now on the outside looking in for a Big 12 championship game appearance as they lose to Texas. Mizzou drops another close one and their chances of getting to a bowl game are slim to none. 

   It's a ton of sports on this episode starting with the Chiefs opponent Sunday night.  Titans QB Travis Tannehill did not practice Thursday but I'd be surprised if he doesn't start.  His Titans are one of the most confusing teams in the NFL.  One computer has them as the 6th best team while another has them in the bottom ten.  We try to solve this puzzle.

   KSU, KU and MU are all at home this Saturday with games they can win... and all seem to be getting healthier.  The biggest stakes are in Manhattan where K-State can take a huge step toward a Big 12 Title game appearance.

   KU won it's exhibition game Thursday night and then Bill Self spent a few minutes after the game talking about his suspension.  And it was uncomfortable.  He admitted and conceded nothing and said he was in on the decision making process for the suspension.  It just gets stranger as he referred to the cheating scandal as something that "went down."

   Matt Quatraro is introduced as the new manager of the Royals as they are moving things in a whole new direction and Lee Sterling of www.paramountsports.com is here with his football point spread picks.

   We attended the event with Missouri 4th district candidate Mark Alford and he was bursting like a little kid telling the story of President Trump calling him Wednesday afternoon.  You gotta hear this.

   Many of you are trying to "like" my tweets now on Twitter since Elon Musk has taken over and you're getting a disturbing pop up on your screen.  Apparently KKHI is a potentially harmful site.

   Fed Chairman Jerome Powell raised interest rates again and in the middle of his announcement, did a 180 to keep the stock market from going up.  It seems to me these announcements should be made in press releases on a piece of paper.

   Bill Self is suspended by KU for the first four games of the season, another admission the basketball program has been caught cheating.  This is his second suspension this year and the NCAA hasn't even chimed in with their punishment yet.

   And the Chiefs are getting healthier.  We'll talk about the Titans game and who's going to be on the field that hasn't been.

   With no video, no motive and no real information on why an illegal alien, drug addicted, BLM, Pride Flag waving lunatic broke into Pelosi's house in a sanctuary city... it couldn't get stranger, right?  Wrong.  Now David DePape's own defense attorney seems to be on the side of the Pelosi's.  You have to hear what this lawyer said to media and the signal it sent.

   You can't get lower than zero but the Star has hit that mark again, this time against Mark Alford.  The former tv anchor is about to win the Missouri 4th congressional seat with ease so the Star decides to write a hit piece on how difficult it was for "former employees" at Fox 4 to work with the anchor.  This story reads like it should be in the Babylon Bee.

   The Cook Political report has moved ten more races to the right but Kansas District 3 and the Kansas Governor's race are not among them.

   In sports, everyone knows the Houston Astros cheated to win the World Series a few year ago.  Now, it's Philadelphia, within the rules, that noticed Houston's game three starter tipping his pitches.  So funny.  Five homers later the Phils had a 7-0 win.

  And Kansas State has a HUGE game against Texas Saturday night in Manhattan and coach Chris Klieman is staying mum on which quarterback he's using. Normally, two quarterbacks is a sign you aren't good enough.  In this case, Klieman could use them like chess pieces to win the Big 12. 

   Former Chiefs coach Britt Reid was sentenced to three years in prison after accepting a plea deal for nearly killing a five year old girl while driving drunk.  It's over,  as Reid went straight from the courtroom to jail.  As Dan Wetzel of Yahoo Sports wrote, Reid was a ticking time bomb in Kansas City that went off 20 months ago.

  But the drama continued to the very last moment as little Ariel Young appeared in the room for the sentencing and Britt Reid spoke to her during the proceedings.  Afterwards, the family is reportedly "outraged" at the sentence despite the fact they settled with the Chiefs for millions of dollars months ago.  This is a complex story.  It's a tragic story for everyone involved.  It should never have happened.  How a known addict like Britt Reid was drinking at work is simply beyond belief.  This podcast was originally for Patrons only but it's too emotional to do more than once.  So we decided to  share it with all of you.

   While others thought the sky was falling in on the Big 12 Conference, I've been steadfast in my belief this league would not only continue, but thrive.  It's all about the time zones and competitive balance and the Big 12 has plenty of both.  Now it's led to a 73% increase for the league in its new tv deals with ESPN and Fox.

   Then, Ryan Lefebvre joins us to share his thoughts on the direction the Royals are going with Matt Quatraro as their new manager and what other changes could be coming.  The Royals say they want to be more "transactional" and Ryan shares what he thinks that may look like.

   Former Fox 4 anchor and host Mark Alford left the media to make a difference and run for Congress,  now he's a week away from closing the deal.

   This is a wonderful conversation with a true conservative that loves the people in his district, understands them and knows how to deliver a winning message.  This is not flipping a seat so we can't really call Missouri's 4th part of the red wave, but Mark says it's that wave is coming in all parts of the country.  

   If you'd like to meet Mark, he will be at Mojito's Restaurant in Raymore Wednesday night, November 2 at 6:00pm with Pete Mundo of KCMO Radio.  It will be another great event, maybe we will see you there.

   In our football feast, Stan Weber joins us to talk about the historic 48-0 win for K-State over Oklahoma State.  Stan explains to us it's the biggest margin of victory in the history of college football by a lower ranked team over a higher ranked team.  The Cats were that good.

   Also, Mizzou has completely turned it's season around with a 23-10 win at South Carolina.  The defense is real, there's a non con game remaining and home games with Kentucky and Arkansas.  A bowl game is just sitting there for the Tigers to pounce on.

  And a strange week in the NFL as the Chiefs didn't play and there was only one game with two teams with winning records.  Stan breaks down the playoff chase in each conference as we discuss the Chiefs got absolutely zero help in the AFC with all the best teams winning.

Spencer Kietzman is in for the weekend episode. K-State bounces back from a tough loss at TCU, and absolutely rolls OSU. Cats dominated from start to finish. Missouri is getting closer to bowl eligibility as they went to South Carolina, and upset a top 25 team.

   For quite some time, the big Tech companies have grown and grown and all lived in their own space.  Now that Elon Musk owns Twitter, that's about to change.  What started with Apple attacking Meta (Facebook) has led to a 70% decline in Meta's stock price.  Musk didn't just buy Twitter for free speech, he has bigger plans.

   A NY Times poll reports Sharice Davids is up big in the race against Amanda Adkins for Congress and it has www.kcmotalkradio.com host Pete Mundo telling the naked truth.  You gotta hear this.

   Dan Wetzel of www.yahoosports.com  has confirmed in a new story that Britt Reid has admitted he was drinking at work at Arrowhead.  The rest of Wetzel's piece is even more damning.

   I have a tale of a mouse, my mom and a sponsor that I will never, ever forget... even on my deathbed.  It happened yesterday and you're going to laugh.

   And we cover the big KSU/OSU game and Mizzou-South Carolina in our weekly picks segment with Lee Sterling of www.paramountsports.com. 

   Elon Musk walked into Twitter HQ carrying a sink.  I thought it was symbolic that he's throwing the kitchen sink at  Twitter but he tweeted to let it all "sink in" that he owns it.  The left is going ballistic.

   We have stunning news on 28 house races and how polling has moved in the past month.  Kansas District 3 between Adkins and Davids is the outlier and I may lose my cool over this.

   We've already heard there are 240,000 ballots mailed out in Pennsylvania that are not verified with a social security number or drivers license.  Now the Secretary of State is making outrageous statements about holding back results.  You gotta hear this.

   HOF golfer Tom Watson and his new wife Leslie Ann have announced they are divorcing after three months.  I'm not critical of such decisions people make and truly just want folks to be happy.  But the comments she released in a statement are bizarre at best.

   A player from the Chiefs Super Bowl LIV team is selling his ring online... we have the deets.

   And KU announced a 10 year plan for basketball, football and baseball facility upgrades which sounds awesome.  Then they went too far and gave out way too much information and it's a buzzkill.

   Tuesday night we learned why Dems have been dodging debates as it was a train wreck for all of them.  None more so than John Fetterman in Pennsylvania who had the worst debate performance of all time.

   Also in Pennsylvania, GOP lawmakers say they have already found 240,000 unverified ballots that have been mailed out by Democrats.  Here we go...

   In Kansas, Derek Schmidt is demanding an apology from Laura Kelly for spending taxpayer money on drag shows for children.

   Chiefs pass rusher Frank Clark gets a two game suspension from the NFL for his gun possession charges, this seems like a great deal he should take immediately.

   Former Chiefs coach Britt Reid will be sentenced on Friday and the prosecution has made a very strong case for jail time.

  And you may not like Kentucky hoops coach John Calipari but you're going to love the story of what he's doing for one hard working Kentucky family.
