Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

   Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family as we celebrate the awesome holiday with some fun facts and figures.  Remember, don't talk politics at the table.  We have a better idea for you.

   I don't remember any games, really, that were too fast for the Kansas Jayhawks but Marquette just sped up Bill Self's guys Tuesday night and ran them off the floor in Maui.  It was strange to watch.  The next game will tell us more.

  Travis Kelce has it right about why the Chiefs lost, the Big 12 has a tiebreaker disaster on its hands and Tom Brady is now the old man shouting, "get off my lawn!  Also, don't forget www.thekklist.com this weekend for all your holiday shopping!

   The Chiefs "stone handed" a win to the Eagles Monday night in a game where they very clearly showed they are better than Philly or anyone else.  But it doesn't matter.  5 drops, two red zone turnovers and a slew of offensive false starts and holding calls will keep the Chiefs from beating anyone. This time, this season is doomed if they don't fix their mess.

   The Wall Street Journal has published a story on Travis Kelce where he's hinting at retirement.  I don't buy it... yet.

   Hunter Dickinson rolls for 31 points and 11 rebounds in Maui as KU now plays #4 ranked Marquette in a new "game of the year."

   The Kansas City Star publishes one of its all time fake headlines, reporter James Rosen rocks the White House trying to get an answer about polling, Israel works on a cease fire and Elon Musk is starting the mother of all lawsuits.

   The "game of the year" is here but it doesn't feel nearly as important as what we know will be bigger games for the Chiefs.  Still, after 15 days off, it's time for the Chiefs to show another gear beginning now.

   Kansas State came from 11 down to beat KU Saturday night in Lawrence and it reminded me of exactly how KU frequently beats K-State in hoops.

   Mizzou's miracle season continues after a wild 4th and 20 game saver and another game winner by the thicker kicker.... this time doing the Gator chop after beating Florida.

   The NFL should hammer the Bengals by taking a draft choice from them, for cheating.  I'll fill you in.

   All the J6 footage has now been released and we have complete confirmation this thing was a total scam.

   A black political analyst refuses to properly say Vivek Ramaswamy's name and tells him to "go home."  Uh oh... that's as racist as it gets and Vivek pounced on it.

   The Trump of Argentina just became president in a landslide win and rapper Cardi B is done with Joe Biden.

   The Thursday night football game was so boring after Joe Burrow got knocked out the biggest trending story was NFL anchor/reporter Charissa Thompson's admission on a podcast that they have to speak for coaches and teams from time to time.  EVERYONE knows this but the sports "journalism" community has just unloaded on her for speaking the truth.

   The Missouri Tigers were down 20 with just over 11 minutes to go but play lockdown defense the rest of the way to steal a win at Minnesota.

  A pair of documentaries are coming out in the next few weeks... one on the great George Brett.  Another on the not so great bank robbing Chiefs Superfan Chiefsaholic.

   The Wall Street Journal's list of top airports in mid size cities is not so kind to the new KCI.

  And Lee Sterling of www.paramounsports.com shares his thoughts on all our big games and is offerning 7 selections for $17 this weekend.

    It's mostly the Football Feast on this episode but we start with 300 Hamas supporting rioters injuring 6 Capitol Police officers... with only 1 arrest.  You've got to be kidding me.  

   Also, the Royals now have a new location they want to explore building a new stadium?  What a mess.

  Then Stan joins us for the Football Feast.  How the Chiefs and Eagles are changing the rules of the game and the AFC Playoff picture top our list. 

   The Big 12 has a tiebreaker mess on its hands, who will start at QB for KU and Cody Schrader's selfless act near the end of his incredible game last week is exactly what's right about Mizzou Football this year. 

   Hunter Dickinson is a freak and when you watch him play for KU all you can ask is, why isn't he in the NBA after years of college hoops?  I'm no draft expert but I know this, he's better than everyone else in college and it showed in a stunning performance in KU's win over Kentucky.  It's as lopsided as Xi negotiating with Biden.

   Good people are in focus after 300,000 supporters of Israel gather in DC without a single incident.  It's easy to see good people in the world.  A listener highlights that for us all with a story that brings your humble host to tears.  You don't want to miss this.

   Then, it's on the to the regular season game of the year as the Chiefs defense prepares to make amends for a poor showing against the Eagles in the Super Bowl.  We break down what these two teams are good at and where they struggle.

   KU football coach Lance Leipold has done a surprising 180 on his qb situation a day after he said he was "very optimistic" Jason Bean would play against KSU.  What's going on here?

   The Big 12 has a tiebreaker mess on its hands with two weeks to go in the football season and it's clear they'd better draw up some plans for having two or four divisions in the league going forward. 

   Gary Woodland is courtside in Chicago after brain surgery, Rory McIlroy resigns from the PGA Tour Board and we have an update on a Seinfeld reboot.

   This is a second publication of our earlier podcast that did not show up at Spotify and a couple other services.  Sorry for the inconvenience and we hope this publishes wherever you listen to KKHI.  Thanks for your support. 

   They are expecting tens of thousands of supporters of Israel to march in DC today and we can only hope all these things happening in America stay safe for everyone involved.  Our crazy times are getting crazier.

   The Secret Service is having a bad year as they couldn't figure out the White House cocaine scandal and now carjackers have broken into one of their vehicles and an agent fired a shot at three perps.  Nobody was apprehended or arrested and they don't know if the bullet hit the man.  It was Naomi Biden's detail.  What?

   A reporter goes a little too far on a train asking questions of a pro Israel Democrat US Senator... these Hamas supporters are a different level entirely.

   KU coach Lance Leipold says he's very optimistic quarterback Jason Bean will start against KSU Saturday.

   US Open champ Gary Woodland appears to be recovering well from brain surgery as he posts a photo hitting golf balls on X.

   The Bills play giveaway to the Broncos, who tried to give it back and Sporting KC is a huge underdog in the conference semi finals but have nothing to lose. 

   It's one thing to be good, it's quite another to just be on a string of good luck.  The Chiefs were the biggest winner in the NFL this weekend and they didn't even play.  We paint the playoff picture for you and it doesn't include the Bengals, Bills or Chargers right now.  Amazing.

   The Missouri Tigers have really become their very best version behind the incredible performance of Cody Schrader and a defense that stymied Tennessee all day.  Mizzou is staring at a 10-2 season and if only it was 2024, Mizzou would be in the playoffs.

    KU lost qb Jason Bean early on Saturday but still found a way to tie Texas Tech with :26 seconds left.  Then, they really needed crowd noise and fan support but got none with a half empty stadium.  The coach tried to take the blame, but this is more complicated than that.

  In Manhattan, K-State routs Baylor and qb Will Howard set the all time touchdown pass record for the Cats.  Up next, a trip to Lawrence for the Sunflower Showdown.

   Former congressman Jason Chaffetz has authored a stunning op-ed on what the Dems have done the past two years weaponizing your tax dollars and every federal agency to gather votes for their candidates.  This story could have you fuming.

   But we'll finish with one of the best sports bet stories ever as a Florida bettor crushes the Hard Rock Sports Book for millions on a four leg parlay that was all in just one game!

   The ratings are in and it was a disaster for the Ronna McDaniel led GOP as 71% fewer people are tuning in compared to the first debate.  There is no primary.  Trump is the nominee, this is all so stupid.  But wait until you hear the number of people that watched this week compared to Trump's last primary debate.  Even I couldn't believe it.

   Disgraced Governor Andrew Cuomo, like so many Dems, starts telling the truth when their career is over.  Cuomo says Dems are making a giant mistake in one way they are attacking Trump... and he's right.  We'll tell you what he said.

   Each week, www.dannyclinkscale.com joins me for a Patron's Podcast called Between the Lines 2.0 where we talk a lot of sports.  We had an interesting discussion about KU coach Lance Leipold's future.  We'll play a clip for you.

   Mizzou needs to fix the way it defends Tennessee and if they can, the next two home games can make or break a great season for the Tigers.  K-State should have little trouble with Baylor.

   And Lee Sterling joins us with his point spread picks from www.paramountsports.com 

   Well, one day is wasted for Republicans trying to win in 2024 as they all licked their wounds saying all the wrong things.  It's a total disgrace these supposedly smart people can't see what the hell is going on.  We need truth and honesty as fast as we can get it.  Vivek Ramaswamy dialed up a whole bunch of it at Wednesday night's GOP debate and he's never stood out more from all the run of the mill crap being spewed all over the place.

   Ever had a Beyond Meat burger or product?  Me either.  Shocker, they're going broke and may need the Dems to bail them out like they do with most electric cars.

  Travis Kelce is named sexiest athlete as he head to Argentina for the by week and some Taylor time.  Mizzou hoops has the second best recruiting class in college basketball, coach Prime says he's never coaching in the NFL and as the Chiefs don't play this week, the schedule looks really, really lame.

   I was really, really upset after results came in Tuesday night as Republican after Republican that runs seems to have no idea what they are up against.  Whether it's here in KC or in Ohio or Virginia, there is only one absolutely reliable voter, even when their issue isn't on the ballot.  

   There is a way to fix the problem, but good luck getting the GOP to do it.  Ohio may be the model for what DC needs to do because everywhere you put a conservative issue on the ballot, it wins.  Even Jackson County, Mo shot down a new tax.  We take a deep dive today.

   The Chiefs admit it may be arrogant but they are now publicly saying they want to be the "World's Team."  It has me asking an honest question about all this Taylor Swift hoopla.

   Critics of Jim Harbaugh have always been everywhere and now they smell blood in the water to finally oust the Michigan coach.  But it's much ado about nothing if you ask me.  And Michigan's response yesterday proves it for anyone that's being honest.

   A famous NFL player gets his Rolls-Royce repo'd, Tiger Woods is making a comeback and a local news organization hands out an award for Kansas City's Best Podcast.

  Sorry for the delay, I had to smash my computer with a sledge hammer before I got this podcast to you. 

   It's election day for some and election analysis for all of us we'll try to gather some voter sentiment info based on outcomes in Kentucky and Virginia.  And locally... have Republicans mobilized enough to gain back their city councils, school boards and mayors?

   The Dem freak out over Trump's huge poll lead over Biden has most Dems wanting Sleepy Joe to go away.  But only one person matters... Barack Obama holds the key to who runs in 2024.

   In Spring Hill, teachers and administrators bought books teaching masturbation, pornography and other crazy sex stuff to teach 14 year olds in health class.  These books were NEVER approved by the Board of Education and it looks like a cover up occurred.  But the worst part.... these books contain information about "rational" and "assisted" suicide.  What the hell are we doing?

   Sam McDowell of the Star has the best of the best observations from the big play in the Chiefs game Sunday and I wish I had thought of it.  But I'll take a couple steps forward from Sam's thinking.  This is just awesome.

   KU big man Hunter Dickinson was better than great in his KU debut and has Jayhawk fans everywhere booking flights to the Final Four.

  Jason and Travis Kelce did entirely different things on the their birthdays the past few weeks and the Kansas City Mavericks are off to a 7-1 start and packing the seats at 10:30 am on a Tuesday morning.  I'll tell you why.

   Election Day is a really bad time to have a complete meltdown of your computer but that's indeed what has happened here at KKHI.  A killer podcast was recorded, ready to roll and all systems were go.  Until they weren't.  My computer recorded and save today's podcast in a fashion that is inaudible and I'm not sending out.  

   After a complete shutdown and reboot, I'm hoping to do it all over again and get it to you a little later today.  I've never done the same podcast twice so this will be interesting.

  In the meantime, thanks to our friend Pete Mundo for having me on KCMO Talk Radio 95.7 FM that I recorded yesterday and it should hold you over for a couple hours.  Thanks for your patience and I"m hoping the next version is recorded properly.  Don't forget our sponsors at www.thekklist.com 

   It's the Football Feast as the Chiefs head into a bye week with a 7-2 record atop the AFC as KC rolls to a 21-0 halftime lead against the Dolphins in Germany then rode an insanely great defensive performance to victory.  Stan helps us set the table for the second half of the season.

   KSU coach Chris Klieman went for fourth and goal from the 4 yard line to try to beat Texas in OT and there's a lot more to this decision than the fourth and 4.

   KU does it on both sides of the ball dominating most of the night in Ames to beat Iowa State.  The Clones never got the ball with a chance to tie.

   Mizzou, for the second year in a row, had a second half lead against the best program in America.  We discuss putting this loss to Georgia in the rear view mirror and playing for a sensational season.

  Also, Sporting KC advances to the Western Conference semi finals after beating St. Louis 2-1 in a wild setting at Sporting Park.

   Conservatives that fight back... win.  Jennifer Gilmore has been through quite a journey to get onto the Olathe School board and two years ago was speaking to the board when they cut off her mic and kicked her out.  She filed suit, and this week, a jury sided with her that the district acted unconstitutionally.  She asked for $1 and an apology, instead, the OSD spent over $250,000 fighting her.  What a week as she's on the ballot and will likely be joining that board when she wins election on Tuesday.  What a rock star!  $1 richer. 

   Dems played "gotcha" with new speaker Mike Johnson by saying his bank documents are fraudulent.  What a surprise when it was learned he has no bank documents as this congressman does it like you are supposed to.  He's in DC serving the people in his Shreveport district living paycheck to paycheck.  What a perfect speaker for these times.

   Did you know the 5 fastest speeds recorded in the NFL this year were all by Miami Dolphins players?  It's going to be quite a test at "Eurohead" Stadium on Sunday.

   And Lee Sterling of www.paramountsports.com is offering 7 plays for $17 on Friday.  Last week he added one to the special and went 7-1.  Let's go!

   There was only one Bob Knight.  The legendary college basketball coach died at his home at the age of 83 after long illness and we will remember him for exactly what he was.  A great coach, an outrageous character and a great American patriot.

   In a story you may not have heard yet, a jury in a federal case in Kansas City has awarded home sellers in Kansas and Missouri up to $5.3 billion in damages for being over charged by realtors between 2015-2022.  This is an incredible story nobody is talking about.

   The city of Shawnee has gone all MAGA and residents seem to like it.  It's so impossible to be a Dem in Shawnee that local liberal media outlets are trying to tell you both mayoral candidates are Republicans.  This after a liberal city manager is ousted over a sexting scandal. It's red and it's wild in Shawnee where Mike Kemmling is the person to vote for. 

   Travis Kelce blasts the whole offense on his podcast and says it's time to refocus, we'll tell you Mizzou's best chance of beating Georgia and KSU and KU have their title hopes on the line with several others this week in the Big 12. 

   With the whole world focusing on Israel's response to Hamas terror attacks it occurs to this podcast host people are calling for the wrong cease fire.  It shouldn't be in Gaza... it should be in Ukraine where a top advisor to Zelensky says it's all but over and Zelensky and Biden won't admit it.

   Missouri Senator Josh Hawley sure would make a great Senate Majority leader after next year's elections and we've got an audio clip of him lighting up Alejandro Mayorkas to prove it.

   Early voting turnout in elections most of us have never voted in is very strong.  Who does that favor?

   Tyreek Hill says he wishes this week's game against the Chiefs was at Arrowhead instead of Germany.  Because of course he does.  It would be bad for the Dolphins, but Tyreek would be the whole story, just how he likes it.

  Eli Drinkwitz busted out another one of his cringeworthy statements this week in advance of the biggest game he's ever coached in his life.  And in the Big 12, it's elimination week.  KSU at Texas, KU at ISU and OU at OSU will pretty much set up the chase for the title.  

   Every now and then something so common sense comes up in DC it's guaranteed to be blasted.  New Speaker Mike Johnson wants to send $14 billion in aid to Israel and he wants the $14 billion to be taken from the IRS.  Brilliant.

   A top advisor to Zelensky in Ukraine tells Time magazine the leaders are stealing "like there is no tomorrow" from the American taxpayers.  Can't wait to hear how Biden responds to that.

   We voted on Monday and there's a sea change taking place in our "non partisan" local elections as politicians are making it clear where they stand.  We have examples.

   Chiefs fans everywhere are complaining the team is going to Germany to play the Dolphins and it's a reflection of how spoiled we've become.  Meanwhile, Dabo Swinney at Clemson has a spoiled fan base he may be losing after blasting a very young fan on his radio show.  We will play it for you.

   And hockey player Adam Johnson is dead after another player slashed his throat with his skate in a pro league in Europe.  It's the most gruesome thing you've ever seen and it does not look like a freak accident.

  And our Final Final is a hoops star gone broke finding out his wife has a dirty job on the side.

   It's the Football Feast and after my thoughts on the big games, Stan Weber joins us to discuss the debacle in Denver.  We should have seen this coming as the Chiefs offense typically struggles against the Broncos and the Chiefs always lay an egg on the road in October.  

  In Lawrence, the goal posts wind up in Potter Lake after KU beats #6 Oklahoma.  I'm not surprised they won, I'm surprised they won without playing their best game.  KU is a force.

   In Manhattan, the weather conditions provided for a much cleaner game as KSU has just played 8 quarters of nearly perfect football at home winning 41-3 and 41-0 back to back.   They are coming on.

   And Stan previews Mizzou at Georgia Saturday.

   Then, Sporting KC is one of the most remarkable stories in sports this year as they are on the verge of knocking out the 1 seed in the MLS Playoffs.  And our Final Final is a baseball fan with a crystal ball that really works.

  As you know, we've been working hard in west Lenexa for Joe Karlin for Mayor and Mark Charlton for council in Ward 2.  What I've learned about registered Republicans is pretty enlightening and I share some stories including a hilarious encounter with the man running against Charlton.

  Then, for those we met, here's Joe Karlin in his own words for you to hear, not my ramblings.  Right at the top of the page for the weekend as many of you were having trouble finding it.

   We've got a full show for you on a large number of topics including a "secret memo" indicating a new stadium for the Royals could cost 6 times as much as the Royals claim.

  The Missouri High School Athletic Association ends a small school's volleyball season before the state semi finals fort the most ridiculous reason you've ever heard.  What a bunch of clowns.

   Did you know a man climbed a fence at RFK jr's house trying to get to him and was arrested?  Did you know the man came back after being released?  Did you know RFK is getting 14% of the vote in some polls and despite his family's history with assassinations, he has no help from Secret Service?  Even Iranian ministers threatening America have that service while in the country.  Amazing.

   Chiefs wide receiver Justyn Ross is back practicing and could play Sunday after being arrested.  The computer says OU has an 87% chance of beating KU and I'll tell you why I think that's nuts and Lee Sterling of www.paramountsports.com is here with this weekend's pigskin picks.

   The civil trial in New York that alleges President Trump over valued his companies on documents has turned into a scene straight out of My Cousin Vinny.  This thing is so comical, we'll have nothing but laughs for you today.  Promise.

   More comedy in Oregon as they have dropped assessment tests in public schools and now don't require you to read or write to graduate high school.  Best punt of the year.

   Patrick Mahomes channels his inner Frosty the Snowman as he talks about the chance of playing in the snow on Sunday in Denver.

   Colts owner Jim Irsay isn't right very often but he is this week as he's screaming for the NFL to make a replay change I was calling for 20 years ago.

  And Sporting KC advances in the playoffs after winning a shootout of a 0-0 match.  Goalkeeper Tim Melia was the star... wait until you hear his incredible stat in overtime.

   It looks like today's the day the GOP gets a new Speaker of the House in Louisiana's Mike Johnson.  Trump supports him, Matt Gaetz supports him and one of the other 8 conservatives that ousted Kevin McCarthy, Tim Burchett, supports him.  Burchett affectionately calls Johnson a cerebral  man that's kind of a "goober."  And says that's just what we need.  Here we go.

   KJP is the worst White House spox in history and it's not close.  When asked about Jews being targeted by anti-semites in America, she deflected and talked about bigotry toward Muslims.  Now she's walking it all back.  This woman is hurting every Democrat everywhere.

   Did you know Joe Biden is not going to be on the ballot in the New Hampshire primary?  Ya, and this is the party that claims conservatives will kill our democracy.

   Details have emerged in the domestic case against Chiefs wide receiver Justyn Ross, some good and some bad.

   The starting pitcher for the Diamondbacks before their game 7 win over the Phillies was captured in an amazing photo, alone in the dugout, before he took the mound.  This is the best story you'll hear today.

  And UFC founder Dana White has inked a deal with Bud Light to be their official beer and he's got some really, really good reasons for it that don't involve money.

   Millions and millions of Americans, including a large group of Jewish voters, are learning what we've known about the Democrat Party for at least 15 years.  The party is radical, hates America and is dividing us from within.  This party is starting to fracture over Israel as many, many leftists are supporting terrorists.  It has to lead to, at least, a  large number of Jewish Americans switching parties.

   Early voting starts today in Missouri and Saturday in Kansas.  We implore all of you to find out which of your local candidates are conservative and go make a difference by taking a few friends.

   Chiefs wide receiver Justyn Ross is arrested in Joco for damaging more than $25,000 worth of property in a domestic disturbance case.  It's 50/50 if he stays or goes.  

   Patrick Mahomes set another record on Sunday and my friend Scott Kaplan in LA has finally come to the same conclusion as me about Justin Herbert.  I'll play the clip from his show.

   And there's a bunch of Royals connections to the World Series as the Rangers are in and wait for the game 7 winner in tonights Arizona-Philly game.

   The Football Feast is here to analyze and celebrate a weekend filled with easy wins for the Chiefs, Cats and Tigers while looking ahead to KU's big matchup with Oklahoma on Saturday. 

   Stan Weber joins us to tell us his contenders to the Chiefs in the AFC, how K-State's two quarterback rotation is actually a good thing and if Mizzou can beat Georgia.  It's feast full of winners!

  Your favorite fill in host is getting married today but you didn't think that's all we would talk about, right?  Even on his big day, we talk a whole lot of football as the Chiefs look to pretty much win the division and Mizzou and K-State get ready to play at home in front of sellout crowds. 

      As you know, we've been working hard in west Lenexa for Joe Karlin for Mayor and Mark Charlton for council in Ward 2.  What I've learned about us registered Republicans has been enlightening to say the least.  I'll share a few stories including an encounter with the man running against Charlton.  It's hilarious!  And what's happening here is what's happening where you live.  It's eye opening.

   And for those we've met that want to hear Joe Karlin in his own words, not my ramblings, here you go.  We are posting the interview at the top of the slate for the weekend.  Give him a chance to earn your vote

  It's laughable the way the Chargers lose games and the table is set for the Chiefs to devour the entire division just 7 weeks in.  Just one problem.  IF the Chargers actually play a great game, this could be hard.  Stan Weber breaks down the game and how the Chiefs new defense could be setting them up for something greater than ever.

   The Missouri Tigers made a statement at Kentucky so we ask Stan if Mizzou is more likely to win 8 games or 10.  His answer may surprise you.

   K-State doesn't have a quarterback controversy, it's more an embarrassment of riches.  We discuss what this may look like going forward.

   And why is it just so strange and silent regarding the status of KU quarterback Jalon Daniels?  It's all here on the Football Feast.

   You know the Dems are coming after Joe Biden when 60 minutes does a sit down with the prez and includes the line, "America's oldest president seemed tired."  If he's still coherent enough, Biden must feel the weight of the world on his shoulders right now.  He is not up for this at all.

   House Republicans say they will have a floor vote Tuesday to elect Jim Jordan the new speaker.  I'll believe it when I see it.

   Kansas Republicans say they're going to put a constitutional amendment on the ballot to keep Democrats from raising your property tax valuations.  Pretty cool.

   Four conservative school board candidates in Blue Valley are campaigning together at www.bluevalleyexcellence.com and they are not holding back in what they want their schools to be.

   Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert lost another game Monday night by throwing a pick at the end.  Charger fans in the stands looked stunned, probably because they are now realizing he's just a younger Phillip Rivers.

  The Chiefs have a chance to add a deep threat at wide receiver if they want to go Hollywood and former KU star Josh Jackson, twice arrested before, is in big, big trouble this time.

   The Missouri Tigers answered the call to play well late and play complete football in a 38-21 win on the road at Kentucky and they did it after falling behind 14-0.  If this is what is a sign to come, Mizzou is about to have a special season.

   Defenses are taking away K-State's downfield passing game with Will Howard by keeping the safeties deep, so Chris Kleiman put in his freshman Avery Johnson to run the ball... and Johnson scored 5 touchdowns to beat down Texas Tech.  So,  what's next?

   KU's offense was rolling behind Jason Bean as they put 5 td's on the board just one drive into the second half.  Then they never scored again.  What in the world happened?

   The Chiefs aren't the only team playing better defense in the NFL this year.  The Jets and Browns locked up the Eagles and Niners and pocketed wins over undefeated teams... and they did it using lame backup quarterbacks. 

   There's still no speaker of the House... but they plan to have a floor vote for Jim Jordan on Tuesday.  Wake me when its over.

   And Arizona senate candidate Kari Lake has the best mic drop campaign tweet you've ever seen.  Also, Travis and Taylor play SNL and a toy from a movie sells at auction for over $3 million.  We'll tell you what it is.

    My mistake... let's try this again and thanks to everyone that alerted me to the silent hole at the 30:00 minute mark!

 Defense is sexy.  There, I said it.  The new look Chiefs are frustrating some KC fans and I can understand why.  It doesn't look like Patrick Mahomes will win and MVP award, the Dolphins offense is like a video game but what do you know?  KC hasn't played well and they're 5-1.  How?  KC has the 2nd ranked defense in the NFL.  Warning:  Nobody is taking out the champs if Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes have the second best defense in the league.

   Campus protests and big city gatherings filled with students, scholars and BLM members supporting Hamas in America are sickening.  We've got two great responses from a pair of men in sports you may know that sum this pathetic situation up perfectly.  Hamas is literally occupying Gaza now, keeping citizens from moving to safety.  This is so one sided, Hamas is the devil.

   Then, Lee Sterling of www.paramountsports.com joins us with his point spread picks for the weekend including KU, KSU, MU and the rest of the NFL.

   It's old fashioned and seemingly out of touch in our high tech society but a perfectly written letter by the President at the University of Florida crystalizes how would should all be acting in light of the madness we are seeing across the nation after the attack on Israel. 

   Missouri Senator Josh Hawley has it right again as he's calling for the US to make a bigger, faster commitment to getting our citizens out of Israel, fast.  And he's right when he says we should redirect Ukraine aid to Israel.

   Looking for some part time work?  Well, you can make some cool cash standing outside Trump rallies holding anti-Trump signs.

   The Broncos are #2 in the NFL in fast offensive starts.  When Sean Payton's guys are on script, they're pretty good.  This could actually be a high scoring game.

   Taylor Swift has been sneaking in and out of KC to visit Travis Kelce and rumors are swirling she's here again tonight.

   KU schools the NCAA on how to fight a major infractions case.

   And all three of our local teams hit the road this weekend...... it could get bumpy.

   The Chiefs have a 15 game winning streak over the Denver Broncos that's been going on longer than we've had White Claws or  Tik Tok.  Patrick Mahomes is 10-0 against the so called rival.  But they haven't always been easy as this isn't college football.  The Broncos are showing signs of improvement and it will be interesting to see if they can hang with one of the league's elite teams.

   Aaron Rodgers now says he wants to debate Travis Kelce about the Pfizer covid shot.  This is turning in to silliness even though Rodgers has been right all along.

   The NHL season is starting and the headline is they are banning Pride tape on hockey sticks.  But the rest of the story is the real context.

   As Israel fights back against Hamas, videos are surfacing everywhere of Republicans everywhere that warned this would happen under Joe Biden.  Now, there's even a video of Biden himself saying on the campaign trail that America can't do what he did as president.  This is nuts.

   The race for speaker of the house is getting silly for the GOP and Taylor Swift makes a big donation to a local charity.

   The horrific pictures we are seeing from Gaza City and Israel are beyond barbaric and we fully support Israel to defend itself and destroy these brutal terrorists called Hamas.  But make no mistake about it, this fight is coming to America.  This isn't Russia and Ukraine.  Palestinians are already taking to the streets in Chicago and New York and Sydney chanting, "gas the Jews."   You'd better believe our open border has allowed in hundreds, if not thousands of really, really bad people that want to kill Americans.  All our fake bickering about race and homophobia seems pretty silly right about now as we see what hate really looks like and face the prospect of dealing with it in our streets.

   Chiefs tight end is nursing his ankle to get ready for Thursday night's game and taking shots from all over the internet from doctors and scientists.  Not Pfizer shots, truth shots.

   A Chiefs rookie is improving rapidly and just the right time and the Arizona Diamondbacks take MLB by storm in dominating the heavily favored Dodgers to go up 2 games to none in their best of five playoff series.

   Stan Weber joins us to wrap a bow around a wild weekend of football that saw the Chiefs clean up so many facets of their game in a 27-20 win over Minnesota.  Then we talk contenders and pretenders and who the MVP of the league is so far.  Brock Purdy, superstar?  You bet.

   It was going well for the Tigers in Columbia Saturday until LSU finished strong with a 22-7 fourth quarter.  Stan explains exactly what Mizzou needs to do to finish stronger.

   KU rushed for 399 yards against UCF in an easy win and the schedule ahead looks great for the Jayhawks.  KSU flat out flopped at OSU Friday night as Will Howard tries to force passes to receivers that can't get open and we talk SEC and Big 12 races for the top.

   There's a lot of reasons Joe Biden is suddenly interested in building border walls in Texas as we predicted he would do.  Sure, there's criminals and terrorists and overcrowding and a million problems but the reason he's on it now is he wants votes.  Specifically, he's getting crushed on this issue with black voters who see all these illegals on their doorsteps and they aren't happy.  Hundreds rallied in Chicago to stop the illegals and it was quite a scene. 

   The Chair of the DNC is sounding alarm bells that a "rash" of Dems are switching parties including Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson.  Johnson, who is black, is explaining to his voters he switched because he wants the illegals out of Dallas and wants a bigger, better police force.  His voters love it.

   Spotify's number one podcast is no longer Joe Rogan.  It's New Heights with the Kelce brothers.  Spotify also says it believes the pod is the number one in the world this week.  Amazing.

   By playing the Vikings Sunday, Patrick Mahomes checks his last box and Lee Sterling from www.paramountsports.com joins us with his picks for the Chiefs, Mizzou, KU and KSU this weekend.

  This is the biggest week in years at 'Ol Mizzou and why not?  5-0 with a scorching hot QB and a game wrecking wide receiver the Tigers are poised to light up the board against a traditional powerhouse LSU team with zero defense.  Every arrow is pointing up... but how confident should Tiger fans be?

   In Lawrence, the quarterback situation is no clearer than it was a few days ago.  And K-State travels to OSU as a big fave.

   In the NFL, the Chiefs travel to Minnesota to play Kirk Cousins and the Vikings.  Cousins has had the turnover bug this year but this is a real team and a likable guy.  Cousins became even more likable this week at a Minnesota Twins playoff game.  We have the story.

   As we watch the mayhem in the House, one candidate is the odds on favorite to replace Kevin McCarthy as speaker.  But it has me thinking not just about the future of the Republican Party but parties in general.  We'll discuss.

   The Country Club Plaza's new owners and very close to the Hunt family in Texas, this has to be good for KC, right?  Joe Biden can't even own a dog so they took Commander away from him after biting a 12th staff member.  And LeBron James is lonely and begging to be on the Kelce podcast.

   I wasn't in favor of Matt Gaetz executing a coup on the Speaker of the House, but it has happened.  So, if Dems can impeach Trump over a phone call, claim he worked with Russia to rig the election, indict him everywhere to keep him from being President why not join them in making a mockery of democracy in America?  Let's make Trump the Speaker and let him oversee the impeachment of Joe Biden and have subpoena power to bring in any of the AG's after him.  It's the only way to fight fair. 

   The feds are about to send an alert to every single phone in America and they say it's about disaster preparedness.  Are you buying that?

   Pitcher Trevor Bauer has endured two years of Trump like persecution from the media, MLB and a fraudulent woman playing victim to extort him out of millions.  We must make this a crime in America as Bauer's case is the most unjust thing against men in our society.  And nobody else will pay a price for it. 

   Aaron Rodgers slams Travis Kelce with a new nickname and Jackson County, Missouri says they may have to separate the Royals and Chiefs stadium votes on the same ballot.

   Democrat Congressman Henry Cuellar was carjacked in Washington DC Monday by three masked gunmen and it must have been terrifying.  It's just the latest in a series of representatives and staffers on the hill that have been crime victims this year.  I just have one question for Mr. Cuellar or any of the others and it's a doozy.

   The Trump civic trial is the one that really jumped the shark.  What the hell is this thing about?  It looks like Trump filled out some bank loan forms that the state of New York says were exaggerated.  But he paid all the loans and the banks are happy with him.  What's the crime here?

   Chris Jones did an interview on NBC after the game Sunday night we didn't see because they broke to local news and it's gone viral online.  Jones was great... but one of the NBC anchors got into it with the Chiefs star calling Jets quarterback Zach Jones "garbage."

   The game set a record as the most watched thing on tv since the Super Bowl.  Travis and Taylor pulled in 27 million viewers.  Amazing.

   Bill Self took the chicken exit speaking with the media and releasing a statement about his botched recruitment, signing and handling of a rape allegation against star guard Arterio Morris.

   The MLB post season is here and our Final/Final is a company trying to reinvent a product you use every single day. 

   No more Jets please.  Seriously, let's not have the Chiefs play against that defense again this year even though they scored early and hung on to win 23-20.  This was a great win and we're not joking here.  These rock fights out of division on the road have been a real problem for KC but they found a way to win this one even with a poor passing game.  

   The paparazzi are having a ball with Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, now known as "Traylor", and Kelce is more than happy to feed it as he was photographed leaving Taylor's apartment 9 hours before kickoff wearing a profane tee shirt.  

   The Buffalo Bills served up an extra large portion of humble pie on the Miami Dolphins and make a statement in the AFC.

   Mizzou rolls Vandy on a record day for Brady Cook and now the table is set for a wild, wild scene in Columbia this week as LSU comes calling.  This is turning into something that feels special.

  The Royals lose 106 games but Bobby Witt joined the 30/30 club and Zack Greinke got a rousing ovation as he walked off the mound for perhaps the final time.

   The United States Ryder Cup team is a joke and I'm done watching if the Americans don't start taking this seriously and the Attorney General of the United States breaks down and cries on 60 Minutes. What the heck?

  If you missed it this week, we learned that Evergy says they will have to keep a coal plant open they wanted to convert to natural gas.  It's in the most liberal city in Kansas to create power to make electric vehicle batteries in Desoto.  What?  Oh, and your tax dollars for "inflation reduction" will pay for all of it. 

  In Wyoming, the feds gave $1.1 million last year for electric buses that are now toast in one of the greatest places to visit on earth.  Good luck getting up the slopes this winter. 

   And the Chiefs are rolling to the Big Apple in a game everyone thinks is about to be a beat down.  Lee Sterling of www.paramountsports.com is here with that point spread pick along with MU/KU and the AFC.

   Stan Weber is here to preview this week's games including the Chiefs catching a big break with the Jets in total turmoil and whether the celebrity power couple will be a problem. We also chat about Sean Payton's future in Denver and the other two AFC coaches playing giveaway with poor decisions.  And what would happen if the Chiefs played the Dolphins right now?

   Then, the Missouri Tigers have a chance in a little over a week to be the surprise team in college football.  A road win at Vandy and the stage is set to punch out LSU in Columbia for a 6-0 start.  Stan tells you if he thinks its possible or likely.

   The Jayhawks have a tough test at Texas, the Cats take a week off to get healthy and we get Stan's 5 teams in the Big 12 with a chance to make the title game.   Chow down!

   House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has informed a whole bunch of reporters that don't want to listen that they now have records of a $250,000 payment from a Chinese national to Joe Biden's home address in Delaware when he was VP.  It's falling apart for Sleepy as he can't even control his own crazy dog.

   The Kansas Teacher of the Year works at a middle school just blocks from my house and I'm certain he's dedicated and hard working and really wants to teach kids.  But what he wants to teach them is the reason he was selected for the award.

   A female journalist at Daily Caller has written a wonderful piece about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce and how it cannot work because the pop star is a radical feminist.  She makes all the sense in the world.

   Tyreek Hill knows exactly what he wants to do after football but shouldn't have said it.

   Royals star Bobby Witt Jr still needs one more homer for a 30/30 season, the first ever for KC.

   If they gave journalism awards for inconsistency, the Kansas City Star would have the biggest trophy case in America.  The paper that called for me to be fired because I said Andy Reid's convicted felon sons were bad hires as football coaches is keeping a race baiting reporter that got facts wrong with a story and tried to pick a fight with an employee at a company he was trashing.  Of course, they didn't believe Toriano Porter was a wild liberal agitator until a video of him surface being "completely unprofessional" according to his bosses.  He broke at least three statutes in the employee handbook.... but they will welcome him back!   I smell a Pulitzer.

   Travis Kelce must really have  a crush on Taylor Swift as he arranged for Prime Social Rooftop to kick everyone out at 8:00 Sunday night so he could throw a private party that lasted until 2:00 am.  There's a lot to hate about Taylor Swift's whiny, complaining songs and her politics, but this is kind of fun being the cool city. 

   Joe Biden steps in it again botching LL Cool J's name and then referring to him as "boy."  Oh, boy.

   Fox News immediately cuts away from a Donald Trump speech the second he mentioned a name they won't allow to be mentioned on their channel, the White House continues to fret about a third party candidate and with shiny recruiting classes, the upcoming hoops season is shaping up to be a great one in the midwest.

   The Chiefs made swift work of the Chicago Bears with the world's most popular singer watching from Travis Kelce's suite.  We'll all remember this as the Taylor Swift game as the happy couple rolled out of Arrowhead in a hot rod convertible.  But there's a lot of football to digest from this one with a defense that could be dominant and a rookie wide receiver emerging as the top target.

   We talk Dolphins, Broncos, Cowboys the Steelers plane making an emergency landing at KCI on their way home Sunday night.

   Then it's all college as Mizzou and KU get wins to crack the top 25 and KSU beats UCF.

   The Washington Post has released a poll that shows Donald Trump crushing Joe Biden.  But it's the way they describe their own poll that's the best part of the story.

   And did you know a hospital in Germany is treating wounded American soldiers from the battle field in Ukraine?  It's true.  

   This week, a store manager at O'Reilly auto parts in KCK, without a weapon, allegedly tried to stop two thieves that left one of them dead.  The details here are not all that well known just yet but the black DA that just charged the white store manager with 2nd degree murder charges says, "race did not play a part in the investigation."  Huh?

   Senator Rand Paul sums up the war in Ukraine and why we should stop supporting it in 60 seconds.

  That viral singer, Oliver Anthony, crooning Rich Men North of Richmond did what he said he wasn't going to do.  He signed a huge record deal with a giant corporation that reps Lizzo and Jonas Brothers.  

   KU coach Lance Leipold is being criticized by media in Utah that cover this week's opponent, BYU, just for telling the truth.

  We'll preview our CFB games this weekend and then Lee Sterling of www.paramountsports.com has this weeks point spread picks.

   The Chicago Bears are a hot mess.  A really hot mess.  Their quarterback is 5-22 in 27 starts and is blaming the coaches.  The defensive coordinator just quit and they have a road game at KC.  This is going to be fun.

   The Chiefs injury list includes a whole bunch of starters but it's a good week to have this issue.

   The Royals quest for a new stadium hits another roadblock and they will no longer announce their site this month, pushing it off for somewhere down the road.

   A school in KCK has to play high school football games in daylight after gunfire broke out last week.

   Merrick Garland's appearance in front of the House Judiciary committee was a slap in the face to the citizens of this great land.  Senator Ted Cruz has a Dem prediction you may have heard someplace before.

  Howard Stern is excited about the latest jab and a school district in Pennsylvania is opening Kindergarten this fall for a record number of twins.

   Three lawsuits have been filed by journalists in four months against the parent company of KCTV 5 News In Kansas City and I can't ignore this anymore.  It's right in the wheelhouse here at KKHI as I'll let you know just how ridiculous local tv news has become. 

   As the House investigates the failures of security from January 6 it is learned that an FBI Field Officer from Kansas City was dressed as a Trump supporter and apparently leading demonstrators into the Capital.

   When the GOP holds its debate next week, Donald Trump will be giving a speech to the United Auto Workers in Detroit.  You think the other candidates are getting played?  Well, wait until you hear what a couple of the Biden people are saying off the record about this move.

   The Chiefs set an NFL record with their win on Sunday and it's a doozy.  Patrick Mahomes tells Carrington Harrison of 610 Sports Radio he wants to punt in a game and the Royals still have a giant financing hole in their plan for a new ballpark. 

   I was going to downplay the fact that Oak Park High School crowned a boy the Homecoming Queen this weekend because it just seemed too easy.  But now as the story has reached national outlets, those folks have done some digging and learned something even more shocking.

   Losing an $83 million fighter jet is a drop in the bucket for the cash the Dems are burning through.  Their biggest concern now?  Target conservatives with advertising to sway us to keep supporting money for Ukraine.  What a scam... Oh, and it's racist to boot.

   A whacky lib singer says she's leaving country music to sing for the oppressed.  Have fun.

   Patrick Mahomes got a lot more than money with his new contract... he got real power and leverage.  I'll explain.

   Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift may be a thing... so one great KKHI listener decided to ask AI to write a breakup song.... It's awesome!

   The Royals have won 5 of 6, Phil Mickelson pens an amazing letter about his gambling addiction and one NFL coach clearly made a decision to cover a spread for his fans Sunday.
