Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

3 Weeks to Go, Kamala Sinking, KCMO #1 in Homelessness, NC Family Devastated, Andy Preps for Niners, V-Ball Players v Administration, MLB Swing and Hiss

   Here's your three week notice to get out and vote as 46 of the 50 states already have some form of early voting taking place.  And while you're at it, convince a friend to get signed up and offer to take them with you if they'd like.  With three weeks to go, what do you know... the polls are all changing and reflect that Kamala just isn't as popular as we were told she was.  This is so fun to watch, now let's close the deal.
  Mayor Q's KCMO leads the nation in percentage of homeless people not in shelters and it's yet another ugly mark on his record of violence and chaos.  Wait until you hear these numbers.
   One family in a small North Carolina town suffered unspeakable tragedy during hurricane Helene and most of it was due to heroism.
   Andy Reid has some tasty things to say about his left tackles and rookie receiver Xaivier Worthy as the Chiefs prep for the 49ers.
   KU is #1 in hoops and is going to win a football game this week.  We'll also discuss KSU and MU's games this week.
   Volleyball players at the University of Nevada don't want to play against a man but now their own administration is taking a stand.  This is going to be interesting.
   And in the NLCS at Dodger Stadium, the home team suffers a big swing and hiss.

Another Arrest at Trump Rally, Dems In Fighting Grows, Butker Starts Political Org, Cowboys Bottom Out, Harbaugh's Heart, CFB Roundup

   Another man has been arrested with all sorts of weapons near a Trump rally in California but was released on $5000 bail.  This is an odd one and so far it was not thought to be an attempt on the former president's life.  Still, Trump is the toughest person ever for putting himself out there like this.
  Axios reports the in fighting between Dems is getting worse and why wouldn't it?  The can't even trot Obama out there anymore to help this campaign as he tripped up too. 
   Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker used the bye week to rally with Josh Hawley and announce he's starting a political action committee.  He's all in now.
   The Cowboys hit rock bottom, Jim Harbaugh's heart caused him to leave the Chargers game Sunday and Maxx Crosby shoves one of his coaches.  
    It was a wild weekend in college football and our Final Final is a singer leaving stage for a medical emergency that's a good thing.

Yanks Too Much, R's Future is Bright, Obama Scolds "Brothers", Listener E-mails, Lee's Picks, Song of the Week

   The Royals fall short again and lose the ALDS to the Yankees three games to one.  In the end, the small things didn't matter much.  The Royals pitched well but the Yankees best hitters were just better than the Royals best hitters.  There's plenty of reason to be optimistic about the future and thankful for the surprising gift this season was.
   The Dems finally trot out Obama and it didn't go well.  He's overrated as a speaker and Hope and Change is so long gone all he's reduced to is scolding black men for supporting Trump.  Oh, and he casts a shadow over Kamala. This strategy won't help much as polling indicates.  We have some juicy demographic numbers that suggests a blowout is in the works.
  Listener emails are all over the place this week... some good, some tough and one that turned us on to the best commercial of 2024.
   Lee Sterling from www.paramountsports.com has a new client special for KKHI listeners on the heels of his hot streak.  He also won for the patrons again on Thursday night.  We'll do the picks.
  And our song of the week is extremely relevant to the millions of Americans dealing with hurrican damage the past few weeks.

Yanks Take Game 3, No Time to Complain, BWJ Won't Panic, KU Prof Not Fired, Shootout in Westport, Trump Declines Debate, Garth Fights Back

   The Yankees take game 3 and Royals fans are melting down right and left over tiny things that could have been different.  But nobody's talking about the big thing holding the Royals back in this series and that's weak production from their best three hitters.
   It's no time to complain and Bobby Witt says it's no time to panic.  Michael Wacha starts game 4 and a win will have everyone believing again.
   The KU professor that suggested violence against Trump voters has been suspended but not fired.  This story is a hot mess for the school and... get this.. it now involves the athletic department.  Oh, brother.
   There was a mass shooting in Westport right it he middle of the Royals game and at least five were injured.  Trump declines a debate with Kamala in epic fashion.  Garth Brooks fights back against his accuser and the NFL has a very rare thing happening this weekend.

Kamala Fails Interviews, Libs Gone Wild, KU Prof Caught on Tape, Royals Pitchers are Story, Chiefs Rest Up, KU AD Not Happy, Airline's Sex Apology

   Forget the polling, it's pretty clear Kamala Harris' campaign is in panic mode.  It's the only way to explain why she's everywhere right now chatting it up with easy liberal interviews... and failing miserably to answer the simplest questions.  What a mess.
   It's so bad that Libs Gone Wild is trending all over the place as they seem to know what's coming in four weeks.  We have a couple classic examples including a KU professor that could lose his job.
   Every journalist covering the Royals and Yankees has written a piece about the Yankees struggling bats.  It's fake news.  The story is Royals pitching and I've got the numbers to prove it as game three approaches.
   The Chiefs rest up after getting confirmation that receiver Rashee Rice is out for the year.  KU's AD speaks out about his unhappiness with how the football season is unfolding and an airline apologies after allowing a sex scandal to unfold during a ten hour flight.
 

KKHI Special: Royals and Chiefs Big Winning Nights, Stan Weber Analysis, Kamala Changes Course

   It is all here on this episode as KC has one of its biggest sports nights in history.  The Royals shut down the Yankees 4-2 while the Chiefs dominate the Saints at Arrowhead.  Oh, what a night it was!  First we breakdown a suddenly great baseball series and a pass happy Patrick Mahomes and then Stan joins us.
   Stan explains how the Chiefs defense has become the NFL's best and gives us great insight into the struggles at our local college programs... MU, KU and KSU.
   Then, Kamala has clearly done a 180 and is backing off her attacks on Trump because that aren't working.  We'll play an incredible audio clip of her flailing around trying to spit out new talking points that's so cringe worthy they must all be fighting behind the scenes. 

Ragans Will Decide Series, Arrowhead Spooky at Night, Hapless Coaching Everywhere, CFB Gets Wild, Trump in Butler, Plaza Gets Makeover

   Let's all stop complaining about umpires and recognize what's really important.  Cole Ragans.  The Royals ace is the single most important player in the series for the Royals and if he's great, the Royals will beat the Yankees.  If he's not, they won't.
   Is Arrowhead haunted?  A surprising study shows that it's really hard to catch the ball at Arrowhead at night.  Who knew?
   The NFL was filled with just ridiculously bad coaching Sunday and reminds us that Andy Reid used to be bad at game management.  He's so good at it now that all you see is other teams blowing games.
   College football is wild after 6 of the top 18 teams lose this week... this is getting fun!
   Donald Trump goes back to Butler, Pennsylvania with some famous friends.  If he wins this state... it's all over.
  The Country Club Plaza is getting a real makeover and it sounds great, Gary Woodland is honored in KC with other pros and a creepy thing is happening right in the middle of Kansas.

Dark October Surprise, Brookside Crime Spree, Yankees Haunt R's Fans, Chris Jones Leads D, Lee Sterling Picks, Song of the Week

   We could be experiencing the October surprise this week and not even know it because it's so dark and nefarious. Of course I'm the guy that will bring it up.
   In KCMO they are blaming all the crime on everything except a city hall that's not a fan of the police department.  The latest?  Brookside residents want the National Guard called in.
  If you're of a certain age, your childhood as a sports fan was defined by Royals/Yankees playoff series' and it was mostly awful.  Walk off home runs, storming the field, Billy Martin messing with George Brett and homer Howard Cosell calling all the big games.  It was dreadful.  This series could help erase whatever 1980's win over the Bombers did not.
   Chris Jones had a wonderful interview on NFL Network talking about the team's mission this year, we'll play part of it for you as the Chiefs prep for the Saints.  Lee Sterling of www.paramountsports.com is here with his picks and our song of the week is one of the hottest tickets in music singing a song that sounds like it's about Joe and Hunter Biden.
 

Bye Bye Birdies, Royals Ready for Broadway, Rashee's Mom in Trouble, J6 Witness Flips Back to Trump, Debate Poll Shocker, Soros Buying Radio Stations, Rockers Get Rich

  It's Bye Bye Birdies as the Royals, like all KC teams, beats Baltimore to move on in the post season.  Up next, the Bronx Bombers and the highest profile Division Series in MLB.  We have the wild post game celebration and breakdown of the matchup with New York.
   Rashee Rice is in trouble and now he's hurt.  Oh, it gets worse.  TMZ reports that his mom is a porch pirate.  This family is a hot mess.
   A witness that appeared in front of Congress to testify against Donald Trump and the "threat to democracy" has flipped and stuns an MSNBC host as he says the Dems have way more AND bigger threats to democracy than Trump.
  A portion of a post debate poll will really shock you.  George Soros is buying up radio stations to crush conservative talk radio and the FCC may be breaking the law in fast tracking it before the election.
   And our Final Final is a great pirate story.
 

Victory Lap is Due, Vance Breaks Walz, World Scrambles to Biden's Finish Line, Ragans Makes Statement, BWJ Delivers, Eli on A&M

   I think a victory lap is due after Tuesday turned out, in about a dozen different ways, to be exactly what we thought it would be.  JD Vance was just incredible articulating and debating for a conservative move forward for America and in the process just broke down Tim Walz.
  Meanwhile, the world is on fire scrambling to get all it can in the last three months of the Biden administration.  I've got a term for what we are seeing.
   Cole Ragans and Bobby Witt Jr were fabulous for the Royals in game one of the Wildcard series at Baltimore and it's more than just one win.  We'll hear from both of them.
   Eli Drinkwitz used the bye week to self scout in prep for A&M, volleyball teams are cancelling matches in protest and a man puts his money where his mouth is for his dislike of Taylor Swift.
