Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

   With all the football media fixation solely on quarterbacks this off season, has anyone noticed three teams have cancelled "mandatory" mini camp as the players make strides to work less and less?   We explore the possibility football players are feeling empowered by the NBA players takeover of their sport and what it would mean for America's favorite game.
   It was hard to tell if the Royals' awful play on the field or the ESPN broadcast of their game was worse Wednesday night.  What was that?  Also, USA Track and Field won't require vax to compete in the Olympics.  Who knew?
   AOC is on a rampage... she's mad at Kamala, Joe Biden and Mitch McConnell.  Even she admits she's in the minority and on the fringe so why does she get so much attention?
   Whatever happened to the scarf lady?  Is Fauci the next to do a disappearing act?
   And me and Cabo had a strange encounter with a masked lady at the car wash.

   If you will indulge me a bit, I'm going to pass on talking about Joe Biden's trip to Europe....  I have some personal stuff to share.  
   You may or may not know my mom has not been on top of her game the past couple months but I've got an incredible story to share about skilled doctors that really care, miracle robots and the nicest group of healthcare workers I've ever seen.   American Exceptionalism is on display every day as the  cancer mortality rates just keep dropping.
   We also mix in some sports on this all positive episode of KKHI.  Since the Chiefs have the best quarterback, let's have a laugh or two at the expense of the once mighty that have quarterback battles this summer.  And if the feud between Brooks Koepke and Bryson DeChambeau is a fraud it's bloody brilliant.

   Kamala Harris failed her news conference so badly it could have been a national security crisis.  Why do people in high places phone these things in?  We take a hard look at those in power and why they think they are untouchable.
   Hunter Biden seems to be the only middle aged white male in America that can use the N word and get away with it.  Shouldn't be a surprise, his dad's mentor was a Klan recruiter.  One "controversial" white rapper is getting millions of downloads calling out all the snowflakes,  we'll play the song for you. 
   Mexican soccer fans in Colorado are an afterthought after the match is stopped for a traditional chant they have toward opponents that's a gay slur.  Then they pelted the field with garbage and hit an American player in the head with a full beer can.  But you won't here about this... the media are way to focused on a fan sprinkling some popcorn on a Dem Privileged NBA star.
   The Royals look like they could lose 11 in a row again and KU releases its basketball schedule. 

   After several days in Florida, I'm so optimistic for America!  Florida is open, fun, free and filled with happy conservatives on vacation with cash in their pockets.  The people of Florida know this and have started an awesome campaign of "Make America Florida."  Count me in as I already bought the tee shirt.
   Former Chiefs coach Britt Reid can drive again as a judge has ordered an interlock device on his car.  The attorney for Ariel Young's family has some harsh words about the decision as this saga continues.
   ESPN fired Kelly Stewart and my first reaction was I was surprised they didn't do it sooner.  Not that she doesn't deserve a second chance, it's just that ESPN is so soft and predictable.
  The Royals are having trouble again, Floyd Mayweather is a truth teller and a fight breaks out at Worlds of Fun.

   If you love sports and even remotely love golf, our convo with legendary PGA Professional Jeff Burey is a real treat.  Jeff coached Marty Schottenheimer and George Brett and a host of other sports greats.  
   Jeff served our great country in the Navy and played golf with the ship's Captain in port.  He eagled the 13th at Augusta National and his first caddie job was for legendary broadcaster Jim McKay.  His resume after that?  Pinehurst, Wolf Creek and Prairie Dunes.   His stories are chronicled in a new book available at www.kansasgolffoundation.org called "Blessed...Stories in the Life of a Golf Professional."  

The Royals have recovered from their 11 game skid, and are playing good baseball since. They've won 5 in a row and are giving the fans in KC something to watch every night. A color commentator for a MLB team is taking a leave of absence for an insensitive comment relating black culture to the stereotype of white men imitating black culture, and a KSU grad who was recently hired by ESPN has been let go for tweets sent out years ago. Spencer Kietzman is here to break it all down on the weekend edition of KKHI. 

   Dr. Troy Burns has been practicing medicine in Kansas City for decades.  A pioneer in a unique family primary care system, Dr. Burns has built Pro Partners Healthcare into a better way for patients to have direct access to their physicians.
   I've known Dr. Burns for 20 years.  He's straight forward, to the point and really smart.  During this unique conversation, he talks about what we did right, what we did wrong and what would should do going forward after a pandemic. 
   While this is not a political interview, I think you'll find we would have all been better off if Dr. Burns and so many doctors like him, had been in charge of the policies that impacted us over the past 15 months.  We also talk about good health and the latest trends athletes are using to get into peak physical condition.

   As you probably know, we have a patron program at KKHI and it includes weekly segments with Danny Clinkscale that's a new twist on the old radio show.  BTL 2.0 is a lot different than the show that aired on Sportsradio 810 for almost 22 years when that station was number one.  During a recent episode, we shared stories about our careers, people we met, people we interviewed and events we covered.
   Many of these stories, we had never shared with each other.  We hope this is as much fun for you as it was for us talking about it all. 

   A Jackson County, Mo judge has put a 30 day halt on Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas' attempt to take over $43 million of police budget previously run by the state.   Q vows to fight the state all the way to the Supreme Court so he must not be too confident he will get to control this money.
   President Biden goes to Tulsa to remind us about how awful our ancestors were and winds up bungling the whole thing in a confusing word salad that felt out of touch and from the wrong generation.
   Andrew Benintendi hits a grand slam as the red hot Royals keep rolling.  Benny is so good we almost feel guilty nobody remembers Alex Gordon is retired.
   And Vegas has released odds on which teams have the best chance of winning the Big 12 in football.

   Everywhere Patrick Mahomes goes, he makes news.  The latest?  Mahomes says he would love it if Aaron Rodgers got traded to Denver and played the Chiefs twice a year.
   Adelberto Mondesi has had a great first week, now he's got to stay healthy.  Mondesi plays with the ease, swagger and confidence of a bat swinging Patrick Mahomes.
   We hate that NBA fans are acting badly but continuing to insult them won't fix it.  If the NBA is serious about cleaning this up, it starts with them realizing their players provoked it.
   And we all need solid reminders from Joe Biden on how awful America is.  June 1, it will be epic as Joe gets to pull out the old bread and butter play from the playbook.
