This is admittedly a humbling moment when your show gets ranked No. 2 in the country out of 77 mid-market News/Talk morning shows by dozens of executives around the country at @Barrett_Media.

A HUGE thanks to all of you who wake up with us, argue with us, and somehow tolerate us on 95.7FM @kcmotalkradio.

You’ve helped make this show loud, opinionated, fun, unpredictable, and apparently still not quite the best.

At least… not yet. We'll try harder next year!

What's truly scary about the @nvidia situation is the more your scratch, the more weirdness you find at a company that is so important to the economy and the country. This is why we have rules--and laws--that say board members and CEOS have a legal, fiduciary responsibility to SHAREHOLDERS and that responsibility goes beyond stoking a hot stock and being a celebrity CEO. Stock prices are fleeting; @Apple was an amazing stock under Jobs, but it was sustained because @tim_cook knew what he was doing from a corporate gov standpoint when he took over. BTW Cook wasn't and isnt the innovator that Jobs was. But he knew how to run things--no small feat. He wasn't imperial. He knew he worked for a board and the shareholder, not himself. He didn't run Apple like his family business. He didnt run around in a leather jacket and give all these interviews with fawning reporters. He worked and worked hard, He's everything @JensenHuang apparently isn't. Yes Huang is brilliant, a decent man, who made a mistake like we all do. But his far deeper mistake wasn't having sex; it was not knowing who he worked for and acting accordingly. It's not himself; it's Mr and Mrs Shareholder who demand certain behaviors over those who they give money to. Ditto for this feckless board, which now finds itself in a real jam. The class action lawyers are circling and it appears they have a case of failure of leadership and a claim that shareholders got screwed because of that. The investigations are only just getting started and it doesnt matter if Trump and Huang are friends; this genie aint getting put back in the bottle. The solution, unfortunately, is for shareholders to get screwed more in the short run before someone smart rights the old ship, which might make what we are seeing now a buying opportunity for $NVDA.

Today, we honor the brave men and women who have served our nation and defended the freedoms we hold dear. Their courage, sacrifice, and devotion to duty have helped protect the American way of life. I am honored to represent so many veterans and service members at Fort Riley and across the Big First. To all who have worn the uniform, thank you for your dedication and sacrifice to our country.

Again, I'm thankful my church on Sunday preached the gospel of Jesus Christ, and not some political "state of the union." Some still want "the faith that was delivered to the saints once for all." (Jude 3)

Breaking: The Colts are trading WR Josh Downs to the Chiefs, sources tell @rapsheet and @adamschefter.

The Chiefs are sending a 4th-round pick and 5th-round pick to the Colts for Downs and a 7th-round pick.

@DougBillings Thank you for not buying into the insane "voter fraud" nonsense that is driving a small % of the Republican electorate. It's not based in any reality whatsoever.

[Pete Mundo @PeteMundo]

Happy to see my friend @ChrisStigall getting underway in Congress! Can't wait to follow his journey.

Fun fact: Harry Truman told Dwight Eisenhower prior to the 1948 election he would step down as President and run as Ike's VP, if he ran as a Democrat.

A different world!

Man I’d want to be a fly on the wall for that convo! Seriously!

I’d like to think it’s about Christianity vs. Islam.

It’s probably more like, “What’d you hear about best lunch spots?”

This was on my desk from Jackson County executive Phil LeVota this morning, which made me nervous until I opened it.

Thank you for the congratulations on our newest addition!

Amazing stat from @CBSSports: The Chiefs have six touchdowns of 20+ air yards since Tyreek Hill was traded.

Prior to that, the Chiefs had 44 in 3 years.

Wow.

@morgansinkc @KariLake Can you tell me what there is to check into? Why does this surprise you? Some people voted for Hamilton and then voted for their relatively boring and solid and apolitical state treasurer who happens to be a Republican.

[Pete Mundo @PeteMundo]

If one of the fallouts from the midterms is stone-cold losers and grifters like @KariLake are never heard from again, I won’t be upset.

Trump/MAGA/GOP future does not need them. They’re a net negative, peddle bullshit and aren’t honest brokers.

A shift to blue means a county that was GOP +40 in 2024 may have been GOP +35 or +30 on Tuesday. If you can’t believe that’s possible, your bubble needs a bursting.

[Kari Lake @KariLake]

No way in hell.

Iowa did not vote for communism because of gas prices (that were the same or less than under previous admin) or a war to end a nuclear threat (w/ no boots on the ground).

I know Iowa.
Iowa raised me.
Iowa educated me.

The math isn’t mathing here.
Let’s audit this election to make sure the results are honest before we hand over the Hawkeye state and America to Communists.

Do not certify until you VERIFY the vote.

@TheOtherChrisN @KariLake Totally good by me

During the BYU-Utah game, the commercial break ended and the broadcast returned with a shot of the Rocky Mountains.

My oldest daughter (7),says, “Whoa dad those look exactly like the mountains on that beer can you like!”

Regardless of what ends up happening, Drink needs to go scorched Earth on the SEC. This has been as close to a rigged officiating game as you’ll ever see.
