Summary

I am so proud to be a Kansas Citian on this day and can't believe I have the privilege to share it with all of you through a microphone. The Royals have topped the Chiefs. Missouri has topped Kansas. Now, 2.5 million of us are all better for it. I am truly stunned our area gets so many things right now after spending decades watching cheap owners repaint and spend money on useless renovations. Hello Super Bowl! Hello Crown Center's golden era. It's time to shut up the complaining as the Royals did the unthinkable. The took less money than Kansas offered to stay in KC and do something great for our city. Quite a change from the David Glass and Lamar Hunt eras. Wow. A tip of the cap to Don Hall and the Hall family as it sounds like this was pretty much their idea. It keeps their family's legacy project and helps them to continue something we love. Hallmark cards are about connection with friends and family and Hallmark Channel is one of the last places that's truly good, old fashioned family programming from an age gone by. You see, some things are just too important to change. Way to go. We have a complete first round Chiefs draft preview for you including a red hot rumored trade between the Chiefs and an NFC team. President Trump now says Iran hates the blockade more than the bombing so he may stick with it awhile. And have you hear the wording of the question on the ballot that won in Virginia's gerrymandering change? You have to hear this.

0:33.6	This is a fabulous day and time in Kansas City. Welcome to the podcast. We've got a lot to cover, including a, well, the Royals lost again. We'll get into that.
