Who the heck am I kidding?  I was going to hold this episode and release it at the normal time Friday morning but there's just too much excitement for this incredible regular season football weekend.

   I promise our Chiefs 2025 season preview with Stan Weber is the best you will hear anywhere or I'll give you your money back!  Then, the Border War is back and all the pressure is on Mizzou even though the most important player in this game plays for KU.  Army storms into Manhattan to take on a sloppy K-State team looking for a reset.

   Then, Lee Sterling is back with all the point spread picks from www.paramountsports.com.   Let's do this!

   Credit to Kansas candidate for governor Jeff Colyer for calling out an anti-Jew extremist working in the Kansas State Civil Rights and Title IX department as that employee was suspended within hours of our report here at KKHI.  Listeners here, and of the interview with Colyer we did on radio, overwhelmed the school with calls and got immediate action.  Well done.

   It's pretty clear now the Dems biggest Trump fear is something they never saw coming.  If he starts cleaning up crime filled cities in red states, the Dems will have no place to hide.

   We introduce you to the Bedroom Tax in Australia.  What the heck?

  The Royals have a look of a tired team that has nothing left in the tank.

   The Chiefs didn't just have a long flight to Brazil, they now have concerns about staying two hours away from the stadium, likely for safety, and the condition of the field.

   College Football ratings were up in Week one and an owner of a luxury yacht safely goes down with his ship.

   Former Kansas Governor Jeff Colyer unloads on K-State for a hire they've made in their Civil Rights Department and he's spot on.  This is the kind of story that grabs headlines as Colyer seems to be gaining traction as the Republican to beat in the primary for 2026.

   Oracle is getting smaller in KC, it sort of seemed inevitable.

   President Trump orders the destruction of a narco terror drug ship off the coast of Venezuela.  It doesn't just send a message to drug traffic thugs, it sends a message to everyone, everywhere.

   One state is putting a question on the ballot that anyone would love.... "should be eliminate property taxes for homeowners."   We have the deets.

   The Chiefs need to go Hollywood beginning Friday night.  The Bills head coach gives KC the greatest bulletin board material ever and was too dumb to know he was doing it.  Joe Montana has a shocking list of favorite quarterbacks.  The NFL questions Nielsen's TV ratings and I agree with them.

   There's a lot of chatter on the Border War rivalry this week... but it's going to take time for this to matter to the players and students in the same way it used to.

   The Royals stink it up and our Final Final is a world's largest ____________.

   It's great to be back in the comfort of the home studio and we're firing right out of the gate this week with a really interesting story about where we stayed at a golf resort in Utah.  It involves Patrick Mahomes buying the course and Andy Reid building a house there.  You have to hear this.

   We had some really sad looking Trump protesters this weekend in KC and I feel terrible for them that they can't find something better to do.

   Dems seem hell bent to stop Trump's tariffs that are bringing tax breaks to Americans and creating peace deals around the world.  Yes, Dems, lets stop all these good things from happening so you can blame the prez.

   The Chiefs have one player they are focusing on more than others Friday in the season opener against the Chargers.  It's game week for the first Border War since 2011.  Bama, Texas and now Bill Belichick have really bad starts to the college season.

   And our Final Final is the Chiefs rescuing the good people of Germany from a life without Kansas City's very own creation.... Cheez-It.

  There is no song of the week this Friday but music is still a vibe.

   A whole bunch of KKHI Patrons loved the segment we did about Ozzy Osbourne's unbelievable life and we will share it with all of you now.  It's the kind of thing we do on Patron Podcasts if you'd like to join.

   Then, drummer Billy Brimblecom is long time friends with Jason Sudeikis and the two of them invented Thundergong.  It's a music and comedy extravaganza and it raises money to help those that need prosthetics when their insurance won't cover it.  Billy was on my radio show a couple weeks ago and he's totally dedicated to entertaining and helping others as he lost his leg a few years ago to cancer.    

    It's the Football Feast as it appears all systems are go for the Chiefs.  Rashee Rice will be out for 6 so the sledding just got tougher.  But we've seen this movie before.  Stan Weber has some thoughts on Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh dealing with distraction as the opening is just a little over a week away.

   Then, what a treat.  Mizzou Thursday, KU Friday and K-State on Saturday.  The Tigers quarterbacks are the big story as they need to find a starter.  KU looks really good and a tune up against Wagner should build momentum.  And K-State needs a hard drive re-boot to the season after a train wreck in Dublin.

  As fate would have it, Trav and Tay are engaged the day before I was ready to post a pod about all of us falling in love with her.  After she appeared on "New Heights" podcast, I opened the radio hour reminding all of us about how sweet she is, how much she loves her man and how much she HATES our politics.  Maybe she's going to change, I think there is a chance.

  But what unfolded on air was wild.  Callers, theories and opinions were flying like crazy.  Congrats to the happy couple.  But more... Congrats to America for where we are despite her best efforts!

   It's not getting much publicity but Super Bowl winning coach Jon Gruden is making real strides in court to get "uncancelled" by the coaching world.  We won't judge whether Gruden is a boy scout but the NFL made quite a reach going after Gruden when he was not an NFL employee.  The lawsuit moves on and Gruden has won at every turn so far.

   Then, it's got to be really hard to be in traditional sports media these days covering a team on a beat.  Travis Kelce and his brother are a classic reason why the old way has hit the highway.

   It's your Monday podcast on a Sunday as Spencer Kietzman joins us to catch up with all the KKHI listeners and talk a little football.

   It was a disaster for K-State as they lose the game, lose a player and lose the internet as the quarterback's dad and brother get in a fight on the streets of Dublin and it goes viral.  Ouch.

   KU's new stadium was rocking almost as good as the team as the Hawks romp Fresno.

   The Chiefs look ready as the first teams dominate the Bears.   Spencer preps for fatherhood and takes a shot at a couple sponsor reads on a fun father/son episode.

   It's the Football Feast and a first at KKHI... we have international play and a pair of local teams playing in Week Zero of college football.  Stan Weber breaks down the matchup for K-State and KU and shares his thoughts on the Chiefs/Bears at Arrowhead.
