There is no song of the week this Friday but music is still a vibe.    A whole bunch of KKHI Patrons loved the segment we did about Ozzy Osbourne's unbelievable life and we will share it with all of you now.  It's the kind of thing we do on Patron Podcasts if you'd like to join.    Then, drummer Billy Brimblecom is long time friends with Jason Sudeikis and the two of them invented Thundergong.  It's a music and comedy extravaganza and it raises money to help those that need prosthetics when their insurance won't cover it.  Billy was on my radio show a couple weeks ago and he's totally dedicated to entertaining and helping others as he lost his leg a few years ago to cancer.    

    It's the Football Feast as it appears all systems are go for the Chiefs.  Rashee Rice will be out for 6 so the sledding just got tougher.  But we've seen this movie before.  Stan Weber has some thoughts on Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh dealing with distraction as the opening is just a little over a week away.    Then, what a treat.  Mizzou Thursday, KU Friday and K-State on Saturday.  The Tigers quarterbacks are the big story as they need to find a starter.  KU looks really good and a tune up against Wagner should build momentum.  And K-State needs a hard drive re-boot to the season after a train wreck in Dublin.

  As fate would have it, Trav and Tay are engaged the day before I was ready to post a pod about all of us falling in love with her.  After she appeared on "New Heights" podcast, I opened the radio hour reminding all of us about how sweet she is, how much she loves her man and how much she HATES our politics.  Maybe she's going to change, I think there is a chance.   But what unfolded on air was wild.  Callers, theories and opinions were flying like crazy.  Congrats to the happy couple.  But more... Congrats to America for where we are despite her best efforts!

   It's not getting much publicity but Super Bowl winning coach Jon Gruden is making real strides in court to get "uncancelled" by the coaching world.  We won't judge whether Gruden is a boy scout but the NFL made quite a reach going after Gruden when he was not an NFL employee.  The lawsuit moves on and Gruden has won at every turn so far.    Then, it's got to be really hard to be in traditional sports media these days covering a team on a beat.  Travis Kelce and his brother are a classic reason why the old way has hit the highway.

   It's your Monday podcast on a Sunday as Spencer Kietzman joins us to catch up with all the KKHI listeners and talk a little football.    It was a disaster for K-State as they lose the game, lose a player and lose the internet as the quarterback's dad and brother get in a fight on the streets of Dublin and it goes viral.  Ouch.    KU's new stadium was rocking almost as good as the team as the Hawks romp Fresno.    The Chiefs look ready as the first teams dominate the Bears.   Spencer preps for fatherhood and takes a shot at a couple sponsor reads on a fun father/son episode.

   It's the Football Feast and a first at KKHI... we have international play and a pair of local teams playing in Week Zero of college football.  Stan Weber breaks down the matchup for K-State and KU and shares his thoughts on the Chiefs/Bears at Arrowhead.

   Sam McDowell of the KC Star reports that a bullet was shot through the window of Andy Reid's office in May of 2024 while Andy was in the room.   Why would it take 18 months for this story to get out?  The timing is curious to say the least, we have a couple theories.    JD Vance is speaking out about bringing Elon Musk back into the Republican Party and according to reports, Musk is on board.  This could mean the end to any attempt at a third party.   An American in Alaska with a WW II era Soviet motorcycle is gifted a brand new Russian bike by Putin.    The Royals give one away in the 9th inning but don't lose any ground.  The Chiefs trade Skyy Moore which is no small miracle.  The Pats coach has a problem at Starbucks.    And Lee Sterling of www.paramountsports.com is back with a preview of the SEC and Big 12 and a couple free picks for you in Week Zero of college football.  

   Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach has filed a brief with a federal court to stop governor Laura Kelly from suing President Trump.  Things must be really fun these days in Topeka.    Donald Trump wants his big, beautiful border wall to be smoking hot.  RFK Jr. has a really good reason why he wears jeans to lift weights at the gym.  Fox News anchor Bret Baier got caught on video getting a little "handsy" in his wife's car.    The Royals have won 5 in a row and are now the first team out of the wildcard spot... they're making a move as Bobby Witt Jr makes history.    The Chiefs starters will play for the home fans Friday night, we'll tell you how long.  Von Miller says Tom Brady is not the greatest qb of all time.  Golfer Rory McIlroy shares a story about a wild purchase he made the night he won the Masters this year.    In our Final Final, a bikini clad country singer has a moment of silence for..... sugar cookies?

   A week ago, I shared with you that I had information about the Royals and Chiefs plans for new ballparks but couldn't confirm it with the proper source.  So I shared the information with our Patrons at KKHI who were blown away.  Now, the President of the Kansas Senate has stated it publicly.  Officials in Topeka and Jeff City believe both teams are heading to Kansas.    The Royals are rolling... we'll talk about the path to the playoffs as they seem to have a bounce in their step.    KSU and ISU meet Saturday in Dublin for Farm 'O' Geddon and for K-State, it's all business.  There will be no sight seeing... just a practice or two, a game and a flight home.    Missouri AG Andrew Bailey has resigned to work as Co-Deputy Director of the FBI, the same title as Dan Bongino.  So what's going on here?    DC police have put out some crime stats that will surprise nobody as Trump seems to have cleaned the place up in a week.    Meanwhile, the president has incredible poll numbers.  Especially compared to Democrats.    And our favorite adoption people, www.pawsitivetailskc.org celebrate a milestone and we'd be thrilled if you adopted a pet or made a donation to help them.

   We have all seen media jump on board and all say the exact same talking points over and over and over.  But now, it seems the talking point from Dems in the media is that the party is dead.  It's like a funeral playing over and over.  Hilarious.    Peace talks come to DC Monday as leaders from Europe, and Zelenskyy, will meet with President Trump.    You won't believe what happened with a truck driver in Florida this week.    The Royals sweep the White Sox and are showing signs of life to make a run for a playoff spot.  The Chiefs begin prep for their final pre-season game.    For K-State and KU... this IS game week and the season is firing out of the gates with big story lines.    Scottie Scheffler sinks a remarkable 82 foot chip shot that just stunned Robert McIntyre who had led the tourney all week long.   Scottie is on a historic heater as the Ryder Cup approaches.    And our Final Final is bringing back something from the past... and it makes total sense.  

   Trump's Department of Education is going after four school districts in Kansas for supporting all the creepy and immoral sex change issues at school.  Shawnee Mission, Olathe and KCK districts are three of the four and it seems to me there is something else in play here.    I gotta get to www.robertsrobinson.com and see if they can dial up one of these new ICE vehicles Trump just debuted on the streets of DC.  One of them is the baddest GMC SUV you have ever seen!    The dude that slammed his Subway sandwich at a cop in DC, incredibly, works for the department of justice.  I'm sorry... he used to work for the DOJ.    The Chiefs play at Seattle Friday night and they catch a huge break with Rashee Rice.  Tonight's Royals pitcher has the coolest shoes ever for Players Weekend.  College football hype has started, but not at the home of the Big 12 champs.    CBS has produced a feature with Kevin Harlan having him recall some of his calls.  We'll play it and you're going to love it as one of them was an incredible Chiefs game.    And our song of the week is an very famous band with an oldie that perfectly describes Trump's week taking over DC.

   Trav and Tay share on microphone on the New Heights podcast and Tay Tay was actually very funny.... at the expense of her sometimes simple boyfriend.  We have one hilarious story for you.    Donald Trump not only has taken over the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, he's taking over the honors show as the Host!  And, they are honoring all kinds of great conservatives.    Tom Homan makes it clear... DC is not a sanctuary city anymore as they are rounding up illegals everywhere.  In KC, the chair of the KC fed wants to keep interest rates high.  Is he trying to get fired?    The Royals fell way behind Wednesday and stormed all the way back just for Charlie Sheen to puke up another one.  They'll never make it to the post season with this guy pitching in 50/50 games.    The Chiefs wrap up training camp, we'll tell you what Andy likes about his team.      Eli Drinkwitz has a very strong opinion about the college football playoffs, we'll play the clip for you.      Jerry Jones has a secret, the Dolphins don't know how to practice and we have to work to get Trump on Mt. Rushmore.

   As we get ready to celebrate five years of www.kkhasissues.com, I decided to do something Tuesday we have never, ever done before.  I recorded a patron podcast with incredible, detailed information that may shock you about what the Royals and Chiefs have decided for new stadium sites and/or renovations.  It's not sourced enough to do on the public podcast or radio but its the kind of information I have shared with friends and family for 40 years.  I'll explain it all and tell you how you can hear it.    Then we lighten up as a 10 year old relative of mine, one of my mom's great grandchildren, starts a The Pigskin Kidcast on Podbean and You Tube.  I'll play a clip... you will love it.    That struggling Sunfresh market that communists love is officially closed after the city has wasted $29 million to make in work in KCMO.  Not a surprise.    Vinnie has a 5 rbi night and the Royals win again... is this the start of a special homestand and a run to the playoffs?  We have the deets on what it will take.    The Chiefs have their last practice in St. Joe Wednesday.  We'll go over what they are working on, tell you about a player with an awesome wife that cooked for her hubby at 3:00 am so he could have his favorite breakfast dish when he got home from Arizona last week and Dave Portnoy blasts the Chiefs as "cooked."    Also, a quarterback does a Joe Biden impression, an MLB team runs out of fireworks and the Tonight Show is pivoting for good reason.

   A local owner affiliated with a possible ballpark for the Royals is the new owner of the land at 119th and Nall.  I'm sure they'd love to have a stadium there but, if not, it's obviously a potentially great purchase for a company in the real estate business.    Trump's DC takeover has Dems hopping mad.  A whistleblower turned in Adam Schiff for giving orders to dems to leak fake info about Trump to get him indicted.  This happened just weeks into Trump's first term and the intel staffer turned Schiff in to the FBI in February of 2017 and nothing ever came of it.    Former Raiders coach Jon Gruden won a huge court ruling in Nevada Monday a in his lawsuit against the NFL and Roger Goodell.    Salvy does it again as the Royal win 7-4.  We will tell you exactly what they need to do in their final 43 games to have  a chance at the playoffs.   Bill Self is cleared by doctors to coach, the UFC strikes a deal with the new media company Skydance and a rocker defends Bruce Springsteen's outrageous comments on foreign soil.

   The Chiefs starters, in an oh so brief appearance, looked sharp Saturday night against the Cardinals.  It's a good start and we'll break down who was good, who was bad and who got hurt.    The rest of the league was interesting to watch to see new quarterbacks, old qbs in new places and who has such status they sat out.  We even saw a 70 yard field goal!    The Royals finish the road trip 4-5 after a terribly disappointing loss Sunday in a game that got away.  It feels like they are playing out the season now with almost no chance of a playoff spot.    A popular, but not very good, country artist is picking fights with Chiefs fans on social media.  And it's not all in good fun... this guy is a d___.    Trump is announcing a takeover of DC on Monday, this could set the table for the rest of America's troubled cities.  CNN reports the census of 2020 was a huge fraud an cost Republicans.  A cheerleader is causing a firestorm with Minnesota Vikings fans and you won't believe the show they put on this week on Dancing with the Stars in Israel.   They sure love America and Trump.  

   Andy Reid says Patrick Mahomes will start in the first pre season game at Arizona Saturday night, even as most other teams are not playing their QB1.  They tried it in Indy and lost their starting quaterback to injury right away.    In LA, the Chargers made their left tackle the highest paid lineman in the game last week.  Then, Rashawn Slater suffers a season ending injury.  This game is brutal.    The Royals wrap up a wicked road trip beginning with a crazy good pitching matchup at Minnesota Friday night.    Greg Gutfeld from Fox News appears on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.  The United States really wants the dictator in Venezuela out.  A Joe biden advisor says they declined a cognitive test for the former prez.  A fake nurse is caught in Florida.    And our song of the week is 50 years old and "voiced" by Hollywood's biggest legend ever.  It is perfect this week after a member of Congress announced she's a Guatemalan first and American second.  

   The Royals got a great win in Boston on Wednesday night, incredibly, it's their 10th straight win in the final game of a series.  The whole thing was caught on film as a popular CBS television crime drama was filming at Fenway for an episode this fall.    The NFL coughing up the NFL Network for 10% equity in ESPN is one of the great deals of all time.  The NFL Network lost a lot of money over the years and now they have their best products on a bigger platform to make even more money.  It's controversial to say the least.   Patrick Mahomes says he has to be better this year for the Chiefs to succeed and I agree.  The real question is how serious he is about it.  Is this training camp lip service or does Mahomes really think he has to get better?    Putin has indicated he's ready to end the war in Ukraine as Trump is about to level incredible financial hardship on Russia.  There's reportedly a summit for next week.    Meanwhile, in DC, Trump is calling in the National Guard to make the capitol safe again.    An illegal alien in KCK reached fame as part of a Netflix series in 2019 and now he says he can't take it here anymore and is self deporting.  You have to hear these details and why this is so perfect.    The New Zealand Air Force saves three Americans in Antarctica and Trump is using his paycheck to remodel the White House historical association gift shop.

   We have a pair of lead stories today as Edward Coristine, aka Big Balls of DOGE, is assaulted on the streets of DC.  Trump needs to take over the district ASAP.... this is the deal breaker.   And a member of congress admits treason in a speech saying she is a "proud Guatemalan before I'm an American."      KCMO host Pete Mundo gets robbed at the gym... wait until you hear how dumb the thief is.    Howard Stern is the latest liberal in the media that's getting canned.  SiriusXM is saying goodbye.    The Royals lose a second straight game in Boston and it feels like they are on the ropes again.  Can they bounce back?  Actor Charlie Sheen steps up and does something really, really nice.  The NFL has a disturbing playoff trend it hopes to break this year.  Golfer Gary Woodland's season is over and he's ready to rest before being a co-captain at the Ryder Cup.      And in our Final Final, we will tell you the name of the highest rated theme park in America.

   The Department of Justice is convening a Grand Jury as they investigate the Russia hoax.  It's believed this will take place in Florida but don't get too excited that you'll see Barack Obama in an orange jumpsuit any time soon.    Sydney Sweeney has now been outed as full on Republican and this likely explains why the left went nuts about her jeans commercial.  But sweet Syd is just a reflection of her generation and that's the real problem for Dems.    Frank White could be voted out of office in Jackson County as a special election is set for September 30.  The Royals fall in Boston as Bailey Falter gets bombed in his first start for KC.  The Chiefs are favored in every game this year.  The Coaches poll is out in college football and only one of our area teams is ranked.    There's drama at training camps for the Browns and Cowboys and an NHL mascot is too much for a giant bear.

   In one of the most shocking stories of 2025, CNN reports that Donald Trump is now so influential in all things America, he may just be one of the strongest presidents of all time.  We'll play it for you, it's so good.    A soccer fan in St. Louis is booted from his home team's game for wearing a MAGA hat.  Uh oh.    There's a new, diabolical kind of pain being inflicted on those who finish last place in their fantasy football league and Kamala Harris is the real loser.    The Royals explode in the 10th inning to win yet another 3 game series by winning the final game.  This team is showing signs of having a little something we haven't seen earlier this year.   MLB sets an attendance record at a NASCAR speedway, the Chiefs play Saturday night, Jared Allen goes into the Hall with a funny story about Lamar Hunt and a movie star's home is for sale at a price you won't believe.
