Messi Thrills as Arrowhead Shines, Tickets Available for $69, Cup News Nationwide is Wild, B12 Lawsuit Ballsy, Trump Stars at G7, JD Tour is Silly, Fast Food Rankings Fail
Yesterday00:52:19Tap to summarizeArgentina's soccer star Lionel Messi had a match for the ages Tuesday night at Arrowhead as he started quickly with a goal that was taken away by an offside call. So he proceded to score three more! All three in the match to be accurate as Argentina and it's 50,000 or so fans at Arrowhead went wild watching a 3-0 win over Algeria. It was spectacular. But how many Kansas Citians were there remains a bit of a mystery and doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things. KC residents turned out everywhere Tuesday for free fan events and watch parties and we're clearly finding our stride. There were shots of some empty seats at Arrowhead even though 500 million people were watching on tv globally, and a Sports Illustrated writer posted a screenshot from a ticket service two hours before the start that had tickets for $69. We cover all the stories, all over the country on today's episode. The Big 12's lawsuit filed against Ken Paxton and Texas Tech was just a stone cold killer. The suit had nothing to do with the gambling quarterback, wait until you hear what their rock star law firm dialed up for the conference. President Trump stars at the G7 and touts peace, low oil prices and a skyrocketing stock market. Then he just hammers Obama. JD Vance's book tour is not going well. It's not a disaster but I just don't understand what he's doing right now. The annual fast food customer service rankings are out and for the first time in over a decade, Chik Fil A is not the winner. And our Final Final is a new report on the astounding growth of podcast listening in America.

2d ago00:56:18Tap to summarizeAfter all the talk, all the promises, all the changes and all the hype.... we finally get a World Cup match at Arrowhead in KC. Let's forget all the other stuff and just celebrate high level sports competition that really, really matters to billions of people around the world. Texas Tech got hit from all sides Monday as the Big 12 filed a lawsuit to make their gambling quarterback ineligible, Kansas AG Kris Kobach fired off a letter and case precedent to the Texas AG and Tech's own coach put his foot in his mouth. So it finally happened... we got a Texas Tech Fold 'Em. Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice is free and we're hoping 30 days behind bars gives him a new attitude for how to live his life. A massive terror ring was plotting a huge operation for UFC 250 at the White House Sunday night and it sounds like this group of folks really doesn't like Jews very much. A local radio host steps away, again, to seek treatment for addiction. Scott Parks says he hasn't been honest on radio and I have some thoughts on how free he will feel if he comes clean. And restaurants around KC are adding fees to your bill for the World Cup so be careful and one iconic joint is changing the way it operates for the next month. Ugh.

3d ago00:52:21Tap to summarizeIt was the most epic Red, White and Blue weekend I can ever remember and it was topped off with a spectacular scene in DC for UFC Freedom 250 and a deal made with Iran. Pinch me, if you will, because this just all seems too good to be true. We are SO back and we are flaunting it everywhere from the soccer pitch to the Strait of Hormuz to the Octagon of Doom outside the Oval Office. I voted for ALL of this. Jackson County charges two men for allegedly stealing England's soccer shoes and after hearing their names, I only have one question I need answered. The Royals may have found a new ace after a brilliant performance Sunday. The San Francisco Giants have several players that weren't having it on Pride Night, the Carolina Hurricanes win the Stanley Cup and a whole bunch of Rod Stewart fans are not happy with something he did this weekend.

6d ago00:45:14Tap to summarizeIt has been 38 years since I bought a truck. That all changed Thursday and I'm pretty sure my dad is smiling down on me proud of my purchase! All quiet with Iran for now as Trump teases he may sign a deal this weekend just in time for the spectacle that will be UFC 250 on the White House lawn. Mayor Q was on Pete Mundo's radio show and spit out a whole bunch of truth's about the Royals new Crown Center stadium as all the whacko "marginalized" groups are coming after him trying to stop it. We have common ground against these loons. The Chiefs wrap up mini camp week with a minor trade. The Royals had a rain delay without a drop of rain... and then lose. The attorney general of Texas threatens the Big 12 that they had better not take on Texas Tech and their gambling addicted quarterback. It's Jello shot season in Omaha and Jerry Seinfeld seems to be everywhere this week. We have cut to play for you in our Final Final.

1w ago00:52:10Tap to summarizeI didn't think it was possible but Trump's Golden Age is making the NBA great again. It's true. And on Wednesday night, they are calling a shot by a player from Jefferson City, Missouri the most iconic shot in NY Knicks history. Taylor Swift went wild and a whole lot of people are feeling included by this league again. In the middle of the bombing in Iran, their leaders called Trump on the phone and asked him to stop. He told them to sign a deal or he's going to bomb them every day going forward. Will this do it? Who knows? Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt is the star of the congressional baseball game as the GOP crushes the Dems... again. But it's the uniforms the democrats wore that are the real story. KC has released a list of bars that will be open 23 hours a day for the World Cup. Zac Brown is proud to sing the anthem at UFC 250 Sunday night. Patrick Mahomes gets a new contract that sets all kinds of records. The Royals blow one against the Rangers on Pride night and Seth Lugo is injured. And Charles Barkley is our Final Final again.

1w ago00:55:05Tap to summarizeSo the kids are so unruly in Lee's Summit that business and city leaders have decided to end a 40 year tradition because..... why? This is weak, feckless and so unlike Lee's Summit. Grow a backbone. The situation in Iran, many have thought, would always be wrapped up by this weekend as a personal goal of President Trump. Now he's threatening stronger action against them with more military strikes. Oh, brother. The Netherlands takes over Riverside for the World Cup and there's something about the "Oranje" that I kinda like. I think I will root for them. We have an update on the price of Madison Square Garden for Travis and Taylor's wedding. Wouldn't it just be awesome if Patrick Mahomes stepped up the microphone and blasted his alma mater, Texas Tech, for their outrageous handling of a quarterback with a huge gambling problem? I'll explain how. A fan from Germany is going viral for showing some of things we take for granted in America and making them sound great. Charles Barkley makes a comment about a performer's boobs, a record marlin could be worth millions and Hunter Biden is proud to have been a crack addict in our Final Final.

1w ago00:52:48Tap to summarizeThe entire college athletics world melted down Monday in a way we've never seen before. It's not cheating, it's not stealing and it's not NIL. It's a judge's ruling that allows a sports betting addict quarterback to play for Texas Tech this year while awaiting a trial about his eligibility. It's literally everyone in college athletics against renegade program Texas Tech, and by extension, Patrick Mahomes. The Chiefs are bringing back a familiar player. The Royals start a homestand. KU baseball has its magical season end just a step short of the College World Series. A World Cup referee from Somalia is not allowed in the USA.

1w ago00:56:20Tap to summarizeIs the frustration of the Iran conflict starting to grind on President Trump? He's got bold new statements on Monday morning just a day after NBC News aired an exchange with Kristen Welker that left Trump taking off his microphone, ending the interview and walking out. We'll bring you up to speed on all of it. Is it impossible for a pastor to win a Democrat primary in 2026? A political science professor writes a story that leads you to believe there are just too many democrats that hate religion for Pastor Adam Hamilton to get nominated.

2w ago00:46:26Tap to summarizePresident Trump had a full day handling questions about uranium in Iran, a reflecting pool filling with water and his planned trip to the NBA Finals. All while dems say he doesn't communicate and isn't transparent enough. This man is so busy it's incredible he doesn't get things jumbled. He just doesn't. And, just in time for America 250, he has delivered big time cleaning up the nation's capitol. We have the receipts. Ty Masterson changed his mind after doing this podcast and will now be part of the debate Friday night at JCCC. 60 Minutes has reportedly been courting Joe Rogan... don't hold your breath. We share a lesson about teaching your kids instead of letting teachers or media get ahold of their brains. In Sports, Bobby Witt Jr deserves better than what he's getting with the Royals and we aren't talking salary. We ask one, big, sort of annoying question. Pride month is sure fading in sports. And you're about to hear one of the greatest Cinderella tennis stories of all time. In our Final Final, Trump is quite the attraction at a Zoo in Bangladesh.

2w ago00:52:56Tap to summarizeIt's a privilege to welcome Kansas Senate President and Trump endorsed candidate for governor Ty Masterson on the broadcast for the first time. We'll talk about his expected strategy to skip a GOP debate Friday at Johnson County Community College, what the endorsement has done for his campaign, how he will attack property taxes if elected and much more. Masterson is the presumed front runner now and here's a chance to get to know him a little. Then, Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice is getting out of jail for knee treatment at the hospital. Maybe, just maybe, there is a little embarrassment in this for him. I'll explain how. We also have news from Chiefs OTA's and a hidden injury for one Chiefs star they kept quiet all year in 2025. North Kansas City has put a temporary ban in place to pitch a tent in a public space... because the World Cup is here. Seems like a decent full time idea to me. And where the heck are my taco shells? A KC brand must be having quite a comeback because I can't find any of them.
