Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

   Royals Owner John Sherman has some tough decisions to make about his team.  Sherman can't be pleased with the disastrous lack of development taking place with the young players, especially the pitchers.  Is he contemplating blowing this thing up this off season?  We explore his options.    Missouri Governor Mike Parson cut off unemployment benefits in his state and what do you know... people we...

    This is the most important episode of KKHI yet.       There are a lot of things upsetting people today like inflation, crime and an employment problem.  But did you ever think you would live in a an America where the President weaponized the federal government to raid and arrest people that didn't vote for him?  This is no different that the Soviet Union, Nazi Germany or today's communist Chin...

   Let's not take sports so seriously that MLB is ruining its sport by checking pitchers for cheating, that's ridiculous.  The goofy stuff will fade and we'll be left to answer the question, is baseball getting better?  It's really small sample but I've got some numbers for you that could mean we are already seeing a more entertaining game.    Sporting Kansas City is good again and they beat Color...

   Well, it only took me ten months to do something as boneheaded as doing a podcast where I toss to a segment of the Chris Stigall Show and you didn't hear it.  It's my fault 100 percent, I goofed.  I know how I goofed and I will probably do it again at some point.    Thanks to the 100 or so of you that pointed out to me that I have issues.     Here's some fun and of course, the missing piece fro...

   Who doesn't love former Mizzou pitcher Max Scherzer?  He's gifted, smart, fiery and will grind until the job is done.  Scherzer has decided to grind on MLB commish Rob Manfred, umpires and even Phillies manager Joe Girardi.  Scherzer dropped his glove and hat and unbuckled his pants mocking the new substance checking system on Tuesday night and it was EPIC!    Royals pitches got checked too, an...

   When the Supreme Court ruled against the NCAA in its latest case, the media rallied and declared amateurism dead.   Maybe it is, maybe it isn't.  I just know that I love college athletics and I'm scared to death where it's headed.      As the College Football Playoff Board of Managers has taken the next step toward a 12 team playoff, it begs the question if they are about to create another pro...

   We're dropping names on KKHI.  Four people in sports you know, in the news for four different reasons.  We have a lawbreaker, a Jerry Springer sage, a retirement and a broken record.  Find out who they are are.    The WHO now says there's not enough evidence that minors should take the Covid vaccine.  Well, the Dems aren't going to like hearing this.  Seems the WHO now believes Covid is no real...

   If you want to know why the Olympics are not as popular as they once were, well, the globalists have taken over.  It played out right before our eyes during qualifying this week as two women made their teams.  The first is an American swimmer, the second is a weightlifter from New Zealand.  These two absolutely represent the best and the worst of the games.    Adelberto Mondesi's play is off th...

   With the Royals in a complete free fall, let's talk about what the Chiefs have accomplished this off season and what we should look forward to as training camp opens in just 6 weeks.     Stan Weber is here to talk about all things Chiefs, the new 17 game schedule in the NFL and College Football's soon to be 12 team playoffs.    So much football... so much time... as we are feasting in June.

   Charles Barkley appears on a DC radio show and threatens to leave TNT because of cancel culture and his "jackass" bosses.  This could be a ploy to get more money, but Sir Charles makes some points every fair minded American should hear.    The NFLPA has agreed to some insane rules for players that don't get the vaccine and the players are pissed.  You should hear some of the things non-vax play...

   This is clearly something we wish we didn't have to talk about, kind of like things that go on in your family.  You see them from the inside and deal with them, but when an outsider steps in and says something, it changes they way you think.  Vladimir Putin has basically said the killing of Ashli Babbit on January 6 and the continued jailing of trespassers for political reasons is worse than an...

    The NFL has this one coming as a hero cop is suing for defamation after the NFL honored a criminal victim last year in a media campaign.  This black officer is a hero for his actions at his job and his actions filing this suit as a citizen.  The criminal he killed in a shootout was a dangerous threat to society and the NFL had no idea.    If you worked in retail, would you take $4 more per hou...

   Forget policy for now, Joe Biden looks terrible on the world stage as America's president.  Yes, he's my president and yes, I'm embarrassed.  Boris Johnson has to correct him, he snaps at reporters from other countries and at times he just looks absent.  And he's so comfortable playing second fiddle to others.  Bad look.    A soccer player collapses in Italy and the reaction is that it's becaus...

The Royals had a tough week but Salvador Perez is having an All-Star season and continues to carry the lineup. Our 44th President Barack Obama weighs in on cancel culture again and says it has gone too far, Spencer Kietzman ties this in with a story out of New Jersey where a school district is cancelling holidays on their academic calendar. A Delta Airlines pilot left a note to whoever would get i...

  Deplorables are gathering everywhere and being heard like never before.  Maybe it's a post covid thing, maybe they just can't stand anymore hate America crap from the Dems.  Whatever it is, an awesome Star Spangled Banner broke out at a hockey game and you have to hear it.    Kamala Harris just keeps taking heat for not visiting the border and it's clear that Hispanics don't much care for her. ...

   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'...

   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 Excep...

   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 K...

   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...

   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 J...

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 le...

   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 ri...

   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 covere...

   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 th...

   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 insu...
