Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

As we travel our way to Arizona for a little baseball, sun and fun, we share with everyone what the BTL 2.0 Patron Podcast sounds like each Tuesday.  Danny Clinkscale joined us last week right after the cold weather as spring training was getting started.  Shocking, we disagree about Global Warming but find common ground talking baseball.  If you want to get these podcasts each week, they are part...

The Missouri Tigers have something a lot of teams don't, a go to guy in the clutch.  Dru Smith was the man at Florida as Mizzou gets its best win in a month.  Wade Davis fights his control in spring training as he tries to keep his career going, it's looking like a long shot.  And we know it's hard to keep up with all the Dr. Suess and Mr. Potato head stuff going on, but it looks like the word "pl...

Tom Porto, the attorney for little Ariel Young, believes former Chiefs coach Brit Reid is getting special treatment as no arrest has been made.  We've also learned the mother of Ariel pleaded with Brit Reid to call 911 while he was on the phone at the scene talking to somebody else.  This just gets worse.  In sports, 5 former Royals from the glory years are in training camp trying to resurrect the...

Tom Porto is the Kansas City attorney for little Ariel Young, the girl left in a coma after a car crash involving former Chiefs coach Britt Reid.  ABC News "Good Morning America" has an update on the condition of the girl and it's not good.  The attorney gives his thoughts and I give mine as well. 

With no Donald Trump to unify around and hate, the Dems have turned on each other.  Governor Cuomo is at the top of the list, and should be.  But its so much more.  It's his brother, other governors, even old talk show hosts.  Yep, with their eyes off Trump, the grievance culture Dems are forced to attack their own.  A 22 year old Royals minor league hits the longest home run many people have ever...

The Kansas Jayhawks have become the best team nobody is talking about, as odd as that sounds.  KU rolls Baylor 71-58 and climb to #11 in the NET rankings, which would put them in the tourney as a three seed.  This team has gotten so much better, they are a real threat now.  Meanwhile, one single loss has put Baylor's Big 12 title in peril.  Baylor is supposed to play West Virginia Tuesday and this...

The iconic Kansas City Star building is for sale in downtown Kansas City, yet another sign of the struggles of local media outlets.  You can't really call it a paper anymore and the future of the Star is anyone's guess.  Amazon cancels one of the most historic black figures in America during Black History Month.  Lady Gage offers $500k reward for something that doesn't sound possible.  Hear from W...

Everyone is relieved Tiger Woods survived a horrible car crash but this story is just beginning.  When a Chief Medical Officer continues to say we should all pray for him going forward, you know it's bad.  Now, there are some coming forward saying it was not a dangerous stretch of the road he was on, typical reporting.  Now we don't know who to believe.  KU coach Bill Self says he's focused on pla...

We are all shocked by the news of Tiger Woods' car accident and we now know he has a long way to go in recovery.  Doctors say  he's lucky to be alive.  And we have a wonderful conversation with an old friend.  You know him as your favorite TV meteorologist, I know him as the only other conservative where I used to work.  Mike Thompson is now a Republican state senator from Shawnee, Kansas.

There are the "haves" and the "have nots" from Covid-19.  Most of the media coverage has been focused on the awful situations millions of Americans have been dealt by the reaction to this pandemic.  We aren't talking about getting the virus, this is about life.  And some of the entities that have capitalized on this pandemic scored in a big way and some of it is scary as hell.  Also, Facebook cave...

If Missouri Republicans get their way, every January 12 will be Rush Limbaugh Day in the Show Me state.  Count me in.  Of course, it's already being blasted by the left.  So let this podcast serve as our call to action!  The Wall Street Journal has published a piece about herd immunity and vaccinations and they run the math that Covid should be irrelevant in April.  When you hear these numbers, yo...

Spencer loves the Royals and shares his thoughts on some of the most important players for KC this year.  Plus, he went to a college game yesterday and sort of feels like Covid is finally ending.

This podcast is 100% guaranteed to pick you up out of your funk and feel great that America is headed for greatness.  It's the little things... and right now.. they are popping up everywhere.  It can't and won't be stopped.  We explain how it all adds up to the next big thing.  In sports, WSU shocks #6 Houston and in a year of scandal, the Shockers look like they're dancing!  And we'll preview gam...

Hoops history was made in Kansas this week.... and none of it is good for KU or KSU.  Meanwhile, Baylor has played 6 fewer conference games than KU, can they really win the league?  We break down how the Big 12 will figure this all out.  Sports wagering is likely in Kansas this year, we tell you what you need to know to get in on the action.  A high school in Topeka will change its name.... the bi...

There will never be another Rush Limbaugh.  He single handedly saved AM radio, inspired millions to be the best they could be and never, every apologized for American Greatness.  He won the battle of ideas and that's the reason he was so despised by the left.  His death leaves a void, but he would want every conservative in America to see it as an opportunity to follow in his steps and make a diff...

Bill Self now admits he simply can't recruit like he used to because of the NCAA's investigation into the program for allegedly paying for players.  We have the audio from a very candid interview where Self says recruiting hasn't been the same since 2018.  As they get ready to play K-State, we analyze the mess Bruce Weber has made.  And it doesn't get better from there as Mizzou fans are miffed ho...

Best news ever, little 5 year old Ariel is awake.  There's no prognosis yet, but this is just great.   Have you had a rolling blackout yet?  Seems to me these are avoidable if we just stick to stuff we know.  A local writer is calling for the NCAA Tourney committee to go away... it's a pretty good plan.  And a national writer says the Royals are team to watch because of their young pitching. 

We haven't paid much attention to the impeachment trial, and it's a good thing for the Dems because they got smoked.  They called this a trial with no Chief Justice present, no sitting president and no witnesses called.  You gotta hear why they didn't call any witnesses, what a disaster for them.  Meanwhile, President Biden was taking vacation at Camp David with nothing on his schedule but video g...

Spencer has your Valentine's edition of KKHI and his torn between his favorite show and cancelling Disney+.  Also, he has sort of worked for dad, sort of.  And the Royals are headed to Spencer's back yard.  Play ball!

It's all good news as conservatives are fighting back, peacefully, against Disney+ for firing a conservative actor from their favorite show.  We've got the inside scoop from a listener that tells us thousands and thousands of conservatives are cancelling.   A college in Indiana is changing it's mascot and name because they think people associate "Crusaders" with the KKK and not the Lutheran Church...

Chiefs assistant Britt Reid is no longer with the team after an auto accident that resulted in a 5 year old girl in a coma.  This podcast says what needs to be said.  Britt Reid should never have been hired as a coach here.  Britt Reid was never good at coaching.  This is an unfiltered take on what went wrong and why Andy Reid and the whole organization protected an employee they knew was at risk....

The Chiefs have placed Britt Reid on leave after his involvement in an accident that leaves 5 year old Ariel in a coma.  The team is supporting the family now, we discuss what's next.  What exactly did Mahomes and Brady talk about after the game, we'll let you know.  Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban has dumped the national anthem, this can't be the right solution.  And KKHI hits a memorable miles...

Marty Schottenheimer was tough, bold and fair.  Covering him on a daily basis was truly an honor and one of the most memorable things of my life.  One of only 8 coaches to win 200 games, Martyball lives on forever.  Even if you thought it was a negative term.  I'll explain.  Brady vs Badger continues and both have plenty of critics chiming in as we learn more about what happened.  Patrick Mahomes...

Just because so many of us want to forget the game itself, it doesn't mean there isn't plenty of other stuff to talk about.  From Kevin Harlan's great call of the streaker, and why the man did it, to commercials that fell as flat as Tom Brady's apology, we've got it for you.  Lots of loose ends to tie up around Super Bowl LV.

Chris Stigall had me on KCMO Talk Radio Monday after the Super Bowl and we didn't spend a lot of time on the game.  A big part of our conversation is the tragic story of 5 year old Ariel in the hospital after Chiefs assistant Britt Reid apparently slammed into the car she was in.  The pictures of her are heartbreaking and a Go Fund Me page has hit $325,000 for the family.
