Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

   We attended the event with Missouri 4th district candidate Mark Alford and he was bursting like a little kid telling the story of President Trump calling him Wednesday afternoon.  You gotta hear this.
   Many of you are trying to "like" my tweets now on Twitter since Elon Musk has taken over and you're getting a disturbing pop up on your screen.  Apparently KKHI is a potentially harmful site.
   Fed Chairman Jerome Powell raised interest rates again and in the middle of his announcement, did a 180 to keep the stock market from going up.  It seems to me these announcements should be made in press releases on a piece of paper.
   Bill Self is suspended by KU for the first four games of the season, another admission the basketball program has been caught cheating.  This is his second suspension this year and the NCAA hasn't even chimed in with their punishment yet.
   And the Chiefs are getting healthier.  We'll talk about the Titans game and who's going to be on the field that hasn't been.
 

   With no video, no motive and no real information on why an illegal alien, drug addicted, BLM, Pride Flag waving lunatic broke into Pelosi's house in a sanctuary city... it couldn't get stranger, right?  Wrong.  Now David DePape's own defense attorney seems to be on the side of the Pelosi's.  You have to hear what this lawyer said to media and the signal it sent.
   You can't get lower than zero but the Star has hit that mark again, this time against Mark Alford.  The former tv anchor is about to win the Missouri 4th congressional seat with ease so the Star decides to write a hit piece on how difficult it was for "former employees" at Fox 4 to work with the anchor.  This story reads like it should be in the Babylon Bee.
   The Cook Political report has moved ten more races to the right but Kansas District 3 and the Kansas Governor's race are not among them.
   In sports, everyone knows the Houston Astros cheated to win the World Series a few year ago.  Now, it's Philadelphia, within the rules, that noticed Houston's game three starter tipping his pitches.  So funny.  Five homers later the Phils had a 7-0 win.
  And Kansas State has a HUGE game against Texas Saturday night in Manhattan and coach Chris Klieman is staying mum on which quarterback he's using. Normally, two quarterbacks is a sign you aren't good enough.  In this case, Klieman could use them like chess pieces to win the Big 12. 

   Former Chiefs coach Britt Reid was sentenced to three years in prison after accepting a plea deal for nearly killing a five year old girl while driving drunk.  It's over,  as Reid went straight from the courtroom to jail.  As Dan Wetzel of Yahoo Sports wrote, Reid was a ticking time bomb in Kansas City that went off 20 months ago.
  But the drama continued to the very last moment as little Ariel Young appeared in the room for the sentencing and Britt Reid spoke to her during the proceedings.  Afterwards, the family is reportedly "outraged" at the sentence despite the fact they settled with the Chiefs for millions of dollars months ago.  This is a complex story.  It's a tragic story for everyone involved.  It should never have happened.  How a known addict like Britt Reid was drinking at work is simply beyond belief.  This podcast was originally for Patrons only but it's too emotional to do more than once.  So we decided to  share it with all of you.

   While others thought the sky was falling in on the Big 12 Conference, I've been steadfast in my belief this league would not only continue, but thrive.  It's all about the time zones and competitive balance and the Big 12 has plenty of both.  Now it's led to a 73% increase for the league in its new tv deals with ESPN and Fox.
   Then, Ryan Lefebvre joins us to share his thoughts on the direction the Royals are going with Matt Quatraro as their new manager and what other changes could be coming.  The Royals say they want to be more "transactional" and Ryan shares what he thinks that may look like.

   Former Fox 4 anchor and host Mark Alford left the media to make a difference and run for Congress,  now he's a week away from closing the deal.
   This is a wonderful conversation with a true conservative that loves the people in his district, understands them and knows how to deliver a winning message.  This is not flipping a seat so we can't really call Missouri's 4th part of the red wave, but Mark says it's that wave is coming in all parts of the country.  
   If you'd like to meet Mark, he will be at Mojito's Restaurant in Raymore Wednesday night, November 2 at 6:00pm with Pete Mundo of KCMO Radio.  It will be another great event, maybe we will see you there.
 

   In our football feast, Stan Weber joins us to talk about the historic 48-0 win for K-State over Oklahoma State.  Stan explains to us it's the biggest margin of victory in the history of college football by a lower ranked team over a higher ranked team.  The Cats were that good.
   Also, Mizzou has completely turned it's season around with a 23-10 win at South Carolina.  The defense is real, there's a non con game remaining and home games with Kentucky and Arkansas.  A bowl game is just sitting there for the Tigers to pounce on.
  And a strange week in the NFL as the Chiefs didn't play and there was only one game with two teams with winning records.  Stan breaks down the playoff chase in each conference as we discuss the Chiefs got absolutely zero help in the AFC with all the best teams winning.

Spencer Kietzman is in for the weekend episode. K-State bounces back from a tough loss at TCU, and absolutely rolls OSU. Cats dominated from start to finish. Missouri is getting closer to bowl eligibility as they went to South Carolina, and upset a top 25 team.

   For quite some time, the big Tech companies have grown and grown and all lived in their own space.  Now that Elon Musk owns Twitter, that's about to change.  What started with Apple attacking Meta (Facebook) has led to a 70% decline in Meta's stock price.  Musk didn't just buy Twitter for free speech, he has bigger plans.
   A NY Times poll reports Sharice Davids is up big in the race against Amanda Adkins for Congress and it has www.kcmotalkradio.com host Pete Mundo telling the naked truth.  You gotta hear this.
   Dan Wetzel of www.yahoosports.com  has confirmed in a new story that Britt Reid has admitted he was drinking at work at Arrowhead.  The rest of Wetzel's piece is even more damning.
   I have a tale of a mouse, my mom and a sponsor that I will never, ever forget... even on my deathbed.  It happened yesterday and you're going to laugh.
   And we cover the big KSU/OSU game and Mizzou-South Carolina in our weekly picks segment with Lee Sterling of www.paramountsports.com. 

   Elon Musk walked into Twitter HQ carrying a sink.  I thought it was symbolic that he's throwing the kitchen sink at  Twitter but he tweeted to let it all "sink in" that he owns it.  The left is going ballistic.
   We have stunning news on 28 house races and how polling has moved in the past month.  Kansas District 3 between Adkins and Davids is the outlier and I may lose my cool over this.
   We've already heard there are 240,000 ballots mailed out in Pennsylvania that are not verified with a social security number or drivers license.  Now the Secretary of State is making outrageous statements about holding back results.  You gotta hear this.
   HOF golfer Tom Watson and his new wife Leslie Ann have announced they are divorcing after three months.  I'm not critical of such decisions people make and truly just want folks to be happy.  But the comments she released in a statement are bizarre at best.
   A player from the Chiefs Super Bowl LIV team is selling his ring online... we have the deets.
   And KU announced a 10 year plan for basketball, football and baseball facility upgrades which sounds awesome.  Then they went too far and gave out way too much information and it's a buzzkill.

   Tuesday night we learned why Dems have been dodging debates as it was a train wreck for all of them.  None more so than John Fetterman in Pennsylvania who had the worst debate performance of all time.
   Also in Pennsylvania, GOP lawmakers say they have already found 240,000 unverified ballots that have been mailed out by Democrats.  Here we go...
   In Kansas, Derek Schmidt is demanding an apology from Laura Kelly for spending taxpayer money on drag shows for children.
   Chiefs pass rusher Frank Clark gets a two game suspension from the NFL for his gun possession charges, this seems like a great deal he should take immediately.
   Former Chiefs coach Britt Reid will be sentenced on Friday and the prosecution has made a very strong case for jail time.
  And you may not like Kentucky hoops coach John Calipari but you're going to love the story of what he's doing for one hard working Kentucky family.
