    Football Feast: Yes on Tyreek, Mizzou Ceiling Very High, Cats Big Test, Sterling Picks, Sisters Meet First Time

    It's all here on the Football Feast. First up, Stan Weber explains why he's YES on Tyreek Hill joining the team and he's making quite a case that could change my mind. Stan also has a shocking, positive statement about what he saw last Saturday saying no team in the country could have beaten Mizzou. The Cats have their hands full with a ranked Houston team. KU hits the road for Utah. Lee Sterling from www.paramountsports.com has your point spread picks and our Final Final is one of my favorite of all time as two sisters meet for the first time in the most unlikely way.

    KC Sports Media Food Fight, Libertarian Hurts Marshall, Dale Carter for Jax County Legislator, Data Center Freakout and Bezos Solution

    Nothing like a bye week for the Chiefs to shift the focus to a KC sports media food fight... a food fight that didn't start in KC. A writer for Outkick and Fox News has been critical of a soft sports media in KC pertaining to the continuing bizarre situation with Chiefs left tackle Josh Simmons. He wasn't wrong. Until he took it too far and it got personal and Bluto shot mashed potatoes out of his mouth. This is a wild one involving sports talkers Carrington Harrison and Jason Anderson getting called out for not being conservative like the Outkick writer. I may have a couple thoughts. A Libertarian on the ballot for Senate in Kansas is a nightmare for Roger Marshall and when he called my radio show, I let him have it. You gotta hear this. Radio Hall of Famer Dale Carter is running for Jackson County Legislature and he's here to share what he'd like to do, even as some in his district want to form their own, new, "Truman County." A city council media looks like a spring break beach fight after discussing data centers but Jeff Bezos has the solution to our mere mortal problems on this planet.

    Wild 1st Plan for Truman Sports Complex, Gas Tax Drop Possible,CIA Official Stole $194m, 103 yr Old Bartender, Mizzou Player Fights for Life, Chiefs Off Field Drama Grows, Tyreek in Court

    Jackson County Executive Phil LeVota released a first idea of what to do with the Truman Sports Complex after the Chiefs and Royals leave and its wild. I give him credit, he's got so many ideas he's wondering what will stick and what will be ridiculed. At least the man is unafraid. This is a wild pipe dream if there ever was one and would cost billions and billions of dollars nobody has. President Trump is floating the possibilty of suspending the federal gas tax, we'll tell you how much it could lower the price. A former CIA official pleads guilty after being arrested a few months ago with $40 million worth of gold bars... in his house! He also had millions in cash and jewelry. Can you imagine how many fraudsters have stolen from all of us that we have NOT caught? Wow, everything we thought about government fraud is true. Wait until you meet Irvin, the World's Oldest Bartender at age 103. Even better... wait until you hear WHERE he tends bar. Eli Drinkwitz gets emotional at his Mizzou Football news conference while talking about a player that's fighting for his life with a critical medical condition. There's drama everywhere with the Chiefs this bye week as Josh Simmons continues to like his life without football, the owner's wife goes on social media to blast Chiefs haters and Tyreek Hill's ex wife testifies in court that he punched her in her pregnant stomach. Sounds familiar, huh? MLB playoffs feature a whole bunch of low payroll teams and our Final Final is a 68 year old woman in Indiana making a drunken statement on the front lawn of the courthouse. It didn't end well for her.

    SI Chat Bots For Elections, Karoline to Fox News, Plainview Beef Goes Viral, Trump Approves Firing Squad, Rice Injury Not Serious, NFL Suspends Refs, Sophie Calls for Suspensions, Actor Can't Watch

    Americans are turning to Super Intelligence Chat Bots to help them decide how to vote and it could be millions of voters. What could possibly go wrong? Is this the Dems next big fix? And why are they so worried that Trump is rigging the election this year through mail-in voting. This is so simple... if the Dems are worried about Trump rigging the midterms, just pass the Save America Act. Former White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt has signed on with Fox News. This was totally predictable and she should have stayed on her other job a little longer. Our great sponsor www.plainviewbeef.com had a huge thing happen when a diet and health expert dropped Plainview's name on the Megyn Kelly podcast. This is so fun! President Trump has approved a recommendation by Pete Hegseth to use a firing squad to execute the terrorist that killed 13 unarmed soldiers at Fort Hood in Texas in 2009. Rashee Rice's hamstring injury is considered minor, we'll tell you when he could be back. Ty Thornton will have ankle surgery but has a chance to play again later this season. The NFL has suspended two officials for bad behavior last weekend. Sophie Cunningham just crushed it in Columbia Saturday and is now calling for the WNBA to suspend some players. We have the sound. The NHL's all time goal scorer is hanging it up and an actor can't watch himself on screen and shares his secret of what he does after the red carpet at premier screenings.

    Unpolished Chiefs are Perfect 4-0, Walker Does it Again, Injuries/Absences in Focus, Mizzou Huge Win, KU Rolls, Portnoy Booted by Fox, Coach's Classy Letter

    The swashbuckling Chiefs are back to being the best roller coaster ride in the NFL. Game after game for a decade now, America tunes in to watch this team come so close to losing only for all those fans to be disappointed in the end. For those of us in KC, this feels like finding your old pair of slippers under the coach when you thought you had lost them. Was the win over the Raiders flawless? Not even close. Was it entertaining? Heck, yes. And after the greatest regular season day ever that saw almost all the other AFC rivals lose, the Chiefs are the only perfect team in the conference. 4-0 with an off week. Yes, please. Mizzou finally got a big win over a ranked opponent just unloading on the #8 Florida Gators Saturday. We'll go over this one with "Playing Devi's Advocate" podcast host Case Nicholson who keeps a very close eye on all things Mizzou. KU rolled Middle Tennessee State as they looked totally polished after a bye week. Dave Portnoy is booted by Fox Sports. A high school game in evacuated in Minnesota when teenage Somali gangs start firing shots. A playoff game in MLB falls short when a homer hits the roof. And Ohio State's head coach did the classiest thing ever this week.

    60m Kids Get Trump Accounts, Another Bad Week for Senate, Adopted MO Man Learns Dad is Famous, Chiefs Sweep Awards, Calipari Complains, CFB Ratings Tumble, KC Restaurant Scare

    Parents of 60 million kids in America have failed to open Trump accounts for them so Scott Bessent just did it for them. They are active. All the parents have to do is log on and accept the account and their kids get money invested for the future. This is SO good if we can teach people to save instead of borrow. It's been a bad week for the Senate as the dems vote to keep insider trading alive for all of them and vote against a Ratepayer Protection Act to keep data centers in check. Why are the dems in DC? Just keep them at home because they will always vote NO on anything Trump and Republicans offer up. Incredible. An adopted 58 year old man in Missouri has an incredible story as he's learned the identity of his very famous birth dad. Oh, what a fool believes. You have to hear who it is. A pair of Chiefs sweep the AFC Offensive Player and Rookie of the Month awards as KC gets ready to play the Raiders. With a win, Andy Reid will take over first place for most wins of ANY coach in Allegiant Stadium history. College hoops coach John Calipari is upset that his players make more than his coaches, college football ratings are in a double digit dive and our Final Final is a freakout at a popular KC BBQ spot that some diners thought was in trouble when somebody walked in.

    Air Force (Ret.) Colonel Cluck Explains Terrorist Flight Miracle, Odds of Landing "Less than 10%", Lezak Makes Winter Call, Mickelson Enters Rehab

    We are so honored to have Air Force retired Colonel John Cluck joining us for this episode to describe for us what a miracle it was a Fly Dubai airliner filled with about 175 Israeli's landed safely in Tabuk Airport in Saudi Arabia. Not only does John fly the exact same type of plane for Southwest Airlines, he was based in Tabuk during Operation Iraqi Freedom. You won't find anyone, anywhere to walk us through exactly what this was like. Incredible. Could I have landed that plane? Could you? Could we have kicked the door open or subdued the terrorist? I'll ask it all in a complete analysis of how the heroes made this happen. Then, our friend Gary Lezak has started a new weather business for KC area folks called www.lezakweather.com and it's really cool. But I'll play a short clip of him telling us about how this winter make go, what the weather looks like for football in Lawrence and Columbia Saturday and get a Chiefs prediction.

    GDP Soars, Incomes All Time High, Poverty Lowest Ever, Shocking Drop in Young Gays, Chiefs Tackle Seems Lost, Royals Stay Course, Padres Fan Needs Date

    It's a big, giant positive news boost for your brain at KKHI as we discuss "The Greatest Story Never Told." Finance guy Larry Kudlow has coined the phrase, Scott Bessent has doubled down and the whole Trump world administration is trying to figure out why nobody is talking about record GDP, record real income and record low poverty. This is quite a ledger for you today. There's also been a crazy dramatic drop in young people, especially teenage girls, that say they are gay. It's happened in just a couple years and if you believe you're born gay... we have quite a freakish genetic story taking place in America. Chiefs tackle Josh Simmons seems AWOL to me again this year and I'm just not buying the injury narrative. He ditched the team last year and it's looking like he's not interested in playing this year. The Royals move their hitting coach out but join a very rare club of clubs that have stunk and kept their manager and general manager. The Padres are in the playoffs and one eligible bachelor has really a really nice seat for the right woman. KU is likely getting another player back from last year's team And our Final Final is a BBQ joint in Florida that has servers wearing the greatest T-shirts ever.

    Football Feast: Chiefs Start Like a Dream, Raiders Waiting to Take Their Shot, NFL's PI Problems, MU and KU to Regroup

    Stan Weber joins us after a mixed bag weekend of football depending on your team. But almost everyone listening today is a Chiefs fan so that's where we start. The Chiefs have some holes on defense and Stan has some ideas. Are the Raiders for real? All we know is they are dying to beat KC and take over first place. The undefeated teams can't be any better than what they are but to this point, nobody looks like a beast. The NFL had pass interference problems this week and Stan has at least one solution to fix part of it. Mizzou and KSU fumble their chances at 4-0 starts as it's about to get a lot tougher. And we have a good old fashioned disagreement on strategy. Belly up... it's the Football Feast.

    Chiefs Swim Past Dolphins, Defense Needs Pass Rush, Showdown w/3-0 Raiders Next, Mizzou and KSU Blow Chances, Trump Blows Off Iran, Obama Aide Big Gaffe

    It wasn't the perfect game but you never shrug your shoulders when you win by 14 points on the road in the NFL. Patrick Mahomes was very efficient and this team needs it as they continue to look for a reliable pass rush from a young defense. The results are there... the Chiefs are 3-0 and if you can believe it, KC is now looking at a big game against the 3-0 Raiders. Mizzou and KSU hit the road Saturday and had plenty of chances to win and both came up short. Very disappointing for both fan bases. The Royals season is over and they'll spend the next six months trying to build a bullpen. Kyle Larson wins at Kansas Speedway. President Trump gets our lame USA golf team over the finish line in the President's Cup where the boys were heavily favored. Trump no longer wants to hear from Iran about a deal, he seems bent on choking them out at this point. Obama and his people continue to say the dumbest things, clearly forgetting what they did when they were in charge. A Trump hating brewery is going out of business and in our Final Final, somebody spiked the punch bowl with Viagra.

    Mizzou Campus Incident Investigated, Another Death from Trump Shooting, XI Dinner Classy, Chiefs Real Estate Boom, Sophie So Fun, Salvy's New Milestone, Paramount Picks

    After an ugly, really ugly incident took place at the Turning Point USA event on the Mizzou campus this week we learn that the scary as hell, threatening trans person that showed up covered in fake Charlie Kirk blood is not a student. This looked like it was about to be a mass shooting and Mizzou is all over it as they've turned Chloe Carter's information over to the FBI. Way to go Mizzou! A man that was shot twice in Butler, Pennsylvania two years ago as an assassin tried to kill Trump, has now died. This is a really sad story about a good man and a horrible two years battling his injuries. President XI of China was the guest of honor at the White House Thursday and got a comedic tour, an impressive tour of Marine One and a great seat at the head table with Trump, Elon, the head of Nvidia and Apple. What a power move. There's a real estate boom already in KCK as the Chiefs are building a $3 billion stadium. And of course, media on the left are complaining. Sophie Cunningham is so much more than a basketball player and we have a great audio clip to prove it. Salvy hits his 20th home run this year... and he's in rare company as he's done that 10 times now. Amazing. Lee Sterling of www.paramountsports.com has your weekly picks after an insanely great pick for our Patrons Thursday. If you want those free picks every Thursday click on "Become a Patron" at www.kkhasissues.com. And our Final Final is a roller coaster you probably don't want to ride.

    Obama Coming to KC, Dems Don't Want His Help, Milei Trashes UN, MU Campus Incident Sick, Chiefs Ratings Rock, Trump to CFB Game, KU Hoops Star Eligible, NASCAR Weekend in KS

    President Obama is coming to KC to speak for a few minutes and pick up a massive check from a multi-billion dollar KC investment firm. But he won't be campaigning for Kansas and Missouri Democrats. Those folks, like Pastor Adam Hamilton, are making it clear they don't want an endorsement from him or Kamala or Biden or any of the real dems. What a fraud. If these people win, they will just fall in line and become lackies for them. Argentina president Javier Milei spoke in front of the United Nations and just unloaded on them for being globalist frauds. He's such an unfiltered truth teller. A Turning Point USA event on campus at Mizzou turns ugly and sad when a really, really sick student stepped up to the microphone in a Charlie Kirk style shirt with blood all over his neck and white tee shirt. What is wrong with these people? The Chiefs set an 11 year high for Sunday Night Football ratings with their overtime win and we'll update their injuries for you. Trump posts he's heading to the Texas-Tennessee game Saturday with Peyton Manning and maybe College Gameday. KU basketball could be getting a star player back. The USA President's Cup golf team featured one player in a photo with all 14 wives and girlfriends at the pre-tourney dinner. It's NASCAR playoff run weekend at Kansas Speedway and a diner in Pleasant Hill is about to get really, really famous.

    Trump Renames AI, It Won't Kill You Either, KC Mom Gets Away w/Murder, Toys R Us Coming to KC, Chiefs Special Teams Stink, Denny Mathews Milestone, 50 Topping Pizza

    President Trump has been busier in New York than any time as president, we can't keep track of the number of things he's working on. GOP candidates are mad he's meeting and appearing with Mamdani this close to the election but happy with his speech at the UN. In his speech, he has renamed AI and re-iterated its not going to kill us. I'll share a list with you of things I remember in my life that were going to kill me. A Kansas City mom has first degree murder charges dropped and pleads guilty to child endangerment after she put her 8 week old baby in an oven in 2024. What is wrong with us? Toys R Us is opening 160 stores nationwide for the holiday season and I love it. I'll tell you why.... and where four locations will be in Kansas City. The Chiefs special teams are awful and we aren't hopeful they will get much better. Royals announcer and baseball Hall of Famer Denny Mathews is hitting a remarkable milestone on Friday when he calls the Royals/Guardians game. A KU freshman from KC is the national volleyball player of the week. The Seahawks head coach has an ongoing feud with the Broncos coach and there is a 50 topping pizza available for the first time ever. It's make right here in our back yard.

    MO Maps Anyone's Guess, WH Press Needs Rotation, Paramount Wins Again, Area HS Golfer Wins at Pebble, Chiefs Review was Mistake, QB's Falling Everywhere, Pastor Plays Football

    An appeals court ruling Monday leads us to believe the new maps in Missouri will be used for the Congressional vote in November... but... Not so fast. This feels like it will never end. The White House is currently excluding 3 super liberal media outlets from covering the news and I'm ok with it as long as they change it from a ban to just a "rotation" and allow them only in a few days a month. The slow days. Skydance is the parent company of Paramount/Warner Bros/Discovery Networks after a $110 merger. 12 states filed suit to stop it from happening but a deal has been reached for Paramount to stay in California and liberals in Hollywood are freaking out at how bad Gavin Newsom and his AG got worked over. This is hilarious. An area high school golfer wins at Pebble Beach in a PGA Tour Champions event and I know the young man and have been friends with his dad for 25 years. This is a feel good story. Pretty much every honest columnist or pundit in America agrees, the NFL blew the video replay in the Chiefs game Sunday night completely ignoring the "clear and obvious" clause while taking about an hour to make a decision. They are actually working against the Chiefs these days. Another quarterback is hurt Monday night as signal callers are dropping everywhere. A pastor returns to the football field... at age 48. And a Long Island woman celebrating her birthday had an accident, got stuck and thought it was turning into her "death day." But it worked out ok.

    Chiefs are SO Back, Mahomes Magic Remarkable, Colts Decision Puzzling, NFL Loses Two QB's, CFB Weekend, Trump Deal w/Greenland, Ed Sheeran Plays On

    It's a big step from week one to week two in any football season and not a single player showed more progress than Patrick Mahomes Sunday night at Arrowhead. There's a chance... yes... a chance, that this unicorn is better after an brutal injury and terrible season than he has been in years. What a show at Arrowhead and what a wildly stupid decision by the Colts to kick a field goal on 4th down in overtime. Oh, and we'll talk about the video review overturn that took the win away from the Chiefs and made them win it all over again. The Raiders are 2-0, the Chargers are 0-2 and the league lost a couple big time QBs in the NFC on a crazy day in the NFL. KU had plenty of chances in London to beat Arizona State but falls short. Avery Johnson shines in Manhattan. And Mizzou didn't make it look easy but is not apologizing for being 3-0. Trump announces a deal with Greenland, Ed Sheeran returns to the stage and Pat McAfee may be getting high while doing his podcast.
