World Cup Huge Cost to KC, Royals Eye First Place, Mich Wins Ugly, Taylor's Girl Time, Decision Day for Trump, Missouri Elections Today, E-Tax on the Line Apr 07, 2026

Show notes

It's election day in Missouri and the earnings tax in KCMO is in focus and maybe that's appropriate after a new Wall Street Journal piece on spending in KC. $650 million are being spent for the World Cup to play a handful of matches at Arrowhead. And we are now getting our first reports that not nearly as many people are coming as thought. Who could have guessed?

The Royals beat Cleveland and eye an early seat in first place. Michigan wins the national title in college hoops in the ugliest game you've ever seen.

Travis Kelce has his hands full as his future wife is meeting her crazy girlfriends in LA and Nashville to plan trips with her girls to Italy, the Bahamas and New York BEFORE their June 13 wedding. Oh, brother.

Trump's deadline for Iran is later today even as the US is hitting Kargh Island. Maybe that's the real strategy. Savannah Guthrie returns to work, our astronauts have frozen pee and CBS announces plans to replace The Late Show.

Daring Rescue is American Exceptionalism, Bold Call and Brilliant Plan, Rubio Arrests General's Relatives in US, Royals Fall Short, BWJ Struggling, OF Saves 3 HR's, Another KC Billionaire Wedding Apr 05, 2026

Show notes

We cannot take all these stellar military operations for granted and the latest is just as crazy and brilliant and perfect as it gets. Some 200 service members worked an unbelievable plan of deception hundreds of miles inside Iran to get the missing American weapons officer that was shot down with the pilot. This was risky, could have backfired in a huge way but is a prime example of American Exceptionalism... no soldier left behind. Goose Bumps.

Marco Rubio revoked the green cards of dead Iranian terror mastermind Solemeni's niece and her mom. Then the US arrested them both in California. They were living a luxurious life in America, "the great satan" but now they live in a jail cell waiting to be deported.

The Royals fall short Sunday and lose two of three to the Brewers. Bubic had a rough start, the pen failed again and the Royals blew ball/strike challenges that may have cost them the game. Not a good look. Oh, and 9 games in, Bobby Witt Jr doesn't have an extra base hit yet. Impossible.

One outfielder saved three home runs in one game this weekend, a million to one chance. The Nationals celebrated the 21st birthday of their stadium in a fun way before first pitch and we have a second wedding upcoming for KC's Billionaire class.

Sleeping w/Carter Jensen, Bad Look for Royals, MLB Ratings Up, Tiger Video Awful, Chiefs Girls Football Initiative, Bondi Bounced, JD's Fraud Force Acts, Obama Library Regulations Apr 02, 2026

Show notes

The Royals were embarrassed enough by a stupid looking loss to the Twins on Thursday that wasted a stellar performance from starting pitcher Cole Ragans. Then, they had to go into the locker room and talk about starting catching Carter Jensen missing the game because he overslept. This is one of the most embarrassing things I've seen and this is a key player. Vinnie P didn't hold back.... this can't happen again.

The first week of the season saw MLB ratings go up like our moon rocket and one of the games was the Royals/Braves.

Authorities in Florida released more video of Tiger Woods' arrest and it's just awful. He's got to get this right.

The Chiefs are all in on "Let Her Play" in Kansas and want you to sign a petition creating more opportunity for girls aged 6-17 to play flag football as a school sport. Count me in.

Pam Bondi is bounced as Attorney General and if one report is correct on the reason why... she may be lucky she's not being investigated.

JD Vance is leading the Fraud Squad and they made an incredible bust in California of hospice houses that don't exist and the people that allegedly stole millions. And Barack Obama has tougher rules for his presidential library than we have at the border or to vote.

Bill Self is Back, Trump to End Iran Ops, NASA to the Moon, Springsteen Should Play in Iran, R's Make History, Rex Hudler Situation Odd, Tiger Leaving Country Apr 02, 2026

Show notes

Bill Self announces he's coming back for at least one year and most Kansas fans are thrilled. It's also a boost in the recruitment of the top player in America. We are pretty sure the family and doctors are ok with this so why not everyone else? This got complicated with the succession plan but they've at the very least bought some time to figure it all out.

President Trump says operations in Iran will be over in 2-3 weeks and gas prices will go down almost immediately.

NASA is back in the moon business and it was glorious to watch that rocket launch. The question is why are we doing this?

Bruce Springsteen's bash America tour is getting worse and worse. If he cares so much about Iran, why doesn't he have concerts there?

The Royals are in first place but made some bad history Wednesday in a win over the Twins. Oh, there was a lot of good things. But the one bad thing was epically awful.

Pete Grathoff of the Star interviewed announcer Rex Hudler who says he'll be part of the broadcast Saturday in Milwaukee and do 1/3 of the games this year. This is an odd story and there's something going on nobody is talking about.

Tiger is leaving the country for his substance abuse treatment, an NFL star is in rehab and the Blue Springs Eagle cam is getting more fun by the day.

Trump to Sit in w/SCOTUS, Mail In Ballot Big Changes, "Racist" Lounge Idea of Black Owner, KC #1, Tiger to Rehab, GB's Support for ALS, Lady Ref Sues NFL Apr 01, 2026

Show notes

In another first, President Trump is about to be the first Commander in Chief to ever sit inside the Supreme Court to hear oral arguments. Trump will be there today as the court considers whether it's legal for illegal aliens to have babies in the USA and they are automatically citizens. Pop some corn, this will be something.

While lower judges are cancelling everything Trump does, he signs yet another executive order. The new order is about verifying and tracking every election ballot in the US Postal Service.

In an incredible story, a bunch of lady soccer fans and a columnist stop a new nightclub from opening called Sundown Lounge. They claimed it's racist. That's outrageous enough but get this... the man who had the idea and was set to own the club is black. Oh, brother.

Tiger Woods heads to rehab, George Brett goes on national tv to discuss a very important Royals fan who has ALS and what we can do to help. A former female ref is suing the NFL and I"m here for it.... go get 'em! A helicopter lands in Olathe, illegally, with a couple hungry people on board.

And Costco has created a smalll controversy with a chocolate Easter bunny.

Opening Day Rocks, Sherman Still Looking in Kansas, Bubic Has "different" Experience, Mayor Q Taps Out, KC Population Growth, Eric Trump Reveals Library, KC Singer Gets Banned Mar 31, 2026

Show notes

There's nothing quite like opening day in a Major League Baseball city and Monday's opener was one for the ages. There were parties, celebrity sighting, a touching moment of silence, and awesome flyover and a Royals win. There was also news made when owner John Sherman told www.kcmotalkradio.com he's still talking to Kansas and NKC about a new stadium. We have all of it for you.

On the field, pitcher Kris Bubic had a much different experience starting this home opener versus the last time he did it. Did you know he had another opener? Yup, it was in 2020 and there were no fans in the stands.

Mayor Q decided to make a big announcement about his future on opening day to hide the sad news there's nothing he can run for and win right now. Boo hoo.

KC's population is growing while St. Louis is shrinking. Eric Trump releases animation and video of a spectacular Donald J. Trump Presidential Library. KC's own singing star Chappelle Roan is banned from performing by a mayor of a major city. A rich, spoiled radio host calls it quits at age 37 and a famous rocker may not have a voice anymore.

R's Avoid Leadership Disaster, Opening Day at the K, Gary Woodland is Year's Best Story, Final 4 a Dream for Underwood, Secret Service Banned Tiger Woods, No Kings Fail, Strait of Trump Mar 29, 2026

Show notes

The Royals played a terrific game and bailed out the organization's leadership team after two absolutely awful pre-determined roster roles before spring training even started. The good news, I double we will see Charlie Sheen attempt to close another game in Royals blue. Now it's opening day and the Royals are big faves against the Twins... Let's go!

Topeka native Gary Woodland could be the best sports story in the world this year after recovering from brain surgery, publicly dealing with PTSD and winning a tourney for the first time in almost 7 years. This is a great American sports story.

The Final 4 is set and Illinois coach Brad Underwood and his star freshman from KC are living the dream.

A new report indicates Tiger Woods was told by Trump's Secret Service that he could not operate a motor vehicle with any of Trump's grandchildren in the car or he'd be arrested. This was BEFORE his fourth crash since 2009.

The No Kings rallies are filled with liberal gaffes, Trump wants to control and rename the Strait of Hormuz and we have a tasty Final Final if you like candy bars.

Whitlock Slammed by Stephen A, KK Has an Opinion, Jax Co Seeks Sports Complex Plan, KS Gov and Benefits for Illegals, IOC w/Trump & Not Cali, Royals Ready to Impress Mar 26, 2026

Show notes

You will have to wait until the back end because it's no lead story, but ESPN star Stephen A. Smith finally took the bait from new conservative Christian Jason Whitlock. The host of a Blaze podcast has a long history of ruining everything in his wake but appears to have figured it all out and Stephen A isn't buying it. I want to believe in JW so badly, but as we could be on the same page after all his mistreatment of others, I'm not sure. I'm on Jason's side here, sort of. But there's a lot of history and I will tell some of it.

Jackson County tries to repurpose the Truman Sports Complex, the KS Gov has a bill on her desk she has a problem signing. If you pay 1% in Kansas City earnings, do you deserve a vote?

The IOC is all in with Trump and now California has to accept no transgenders or send the Olympics in 2028 to Texas.

The Royals are set and Salvy is now a platoon player. And an 8th grader in Pennsylvania has a perfect bracket and doesn't watch hoops.

Understanding Trump Posts, MIT Mail In Data, KC Council on KCI Toilets, Mahomes Throws, Bill Self "BS", R's Roster Set, Rhino Honors Chief Mar 26, 2026

Show notes

It's not always comfortable reading some of President Trump's posts on social media or hearing some of the things he says. But it's important to try to figure out where he's coming from on most of these things as we seem to have forgotten what democrats have done to this man. A local radio host, Dana Wright, is now an unhinged Karen and we'll ask the question she can't seem to ask herself... what if the roles were reversed?

MIT has data about mail in ballots in 2020 that is incredible. The KCMO City Council is about to be forced to vote on getting rid of the all gender toilets at KCI.

In sports, Patrick Mahomes throws a football and posts it online. Somehow this has millions of views. Bill Self says he hasn't decided on his future and any reports that he has are "BS". The Royals opening day roster is set and several players visit Team USA soccer players. Masters concession prices are revealed, the new hoops coach at Providence has the all time greatest line ever at his introductory news conference and a zoo names a rare Rhino after a Chiefs player.

KU Hoops in Limbo, Royals Liked Garcia over BWJ, Beer Drinking Contest at the K, MO Upholds New District, CNN Believes Iran, Liberty Gets Data Mar 25, 2026

Show notes

For the near future, KU hoops are in limbo waiting to find out what legendary coach Bill Self is going to do. If you're not in the camp that believes Jacque Vaughn is here to take the job as a given, well, things just got even murkier for KU as North Carolina parts with Hubert Davis and has an immediate opening.

In an incredible admission, Royals GM JJ Picollo says not too long ago, Royals executives thought Maikel Garcia was a better shortstop than Bobby Witt Jr. We will play the audio.

The Royals also announced they are offering a hot dog and beer drinking challenge this year at the K called the 9-9-9 challenge. With a tiny twist.

Missouri's Supreme Court rules it's just fine for the state to draw new districts in the middle of a decade.... this could be the end for Congressman Cleaver in KC at age 82.

After two days of mocking President Trump for saying the US and Iran are trying to work out a future for the country, CNN reports its true because a "high level Iranian official" has confirmed it. What the hell has happened to American media?

Liberty approves a new data center while a couple of really crazy, dumb, women farmers in Kentucky turn one down even after getting the offer of a life time.

Theo Von interviews Vince Vaughn about late night shows no longer being funny.
