Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

   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.

   Memorial Day should be a day all Americans can pull together on common ground, honoring our fallen soldiers.  We explore the origins and history of this great day that is much more than the unofficial start of summer.
   Mayor Q had a bad week, can you believe it?  So many citizens are livid he's defunding the police and he's having a bad time with local media that are honest.  Plus, the St. Louis mayor got more attention than Q.  Poor guy.
   There is a free for all to replace Rush Limbaugh in the 11-2 syndicated radio time slot.  Dan Bongino has already gobbled up all the big markets.  Other markets are putting on local shows.  And now Clay Travis and Buck Henry are supposed to replace Rush on hundreds of stations?  That's comical.
   Patrick Mahomes skipped practice for a golf tournament... ok.  Hey, the only thing that matters is what Andy said after the first week of OTA's and that's that Mahomes was a "full go" when he was there.  Boom!
  And the Royals open an important series against the surging Twins this weekend.  Is Kris Bubic the ace?  He gets  a big assignment in game one.
 

   Patrick Mahomes is everywhere... and that's ok.  It used to be so important for the Chiefs starting quarterback to be at the facility, working harder than everyone and showing the way toward teamwork.  But Mahomes is so special, he gets to make his own rules and no teammate would ever think twice.
   Alex Smith is speaking out about the Aaron Rodgers/Packers situation.  This is pretty rare as Alex rarely has an opinion.  But the gloves are off on this one.
   The NBA is dealing with several fan and player incidents right now but that's not the only place.  Rain delays, airline flights and street corners are also places people are acting crazy.  What's going on here?
   And almost every day now another prominent Dem is speaking out against the party going to far left with "wokeness."  They seem to know they have big trouble ahead.
