1:07Starts off with Steve and KCK. What's up, Steve? Go ahead. We're twice as long, had bigger floats. You'd have 10 high school with marching bands. You'd have the marching cobras and other marching bands like that. It was us. We'd have two parades here, the American Royal Parade and the St. Patrick's today parade. And these parades today aren't nothing like what they used to. They used to be city-wide parties. The city would shut down and party for a day. And there was lots of marketing and the parades just are not what they used to be. And it's sad because people don't know how much fun they're really missed out on. Well, I think there's a lot of truth to that, Steve. There's a lot of reasons for that as well. You have other parades around town that happen leading up to St. Patrick's day. And then you also have the reality. And this was written about this morning by Tony'sCanzaCity.com saying,

2:10you know what, it's been too much crime. You've had obviously super bowl parade shootings and people are like, you know what, what's the value in me going down to the parade today? It's sad, but it's a reality that a lot of people are thinking about. They're just afraid to say it. Yeah, and this is why we can't have a nice day. It was a good time, you know, yep, yep, yep. All right. With a 60-year-old kid, we'd skip school and go down there and just have a blast for a day. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure it was a good time. Thank you, Steve. 913-408-795-7 on a tie raid Tuesday. Now is your segment. It's the only 10 minutes of the week where you get to control the content of the show. 913-408-795-7, John and Mark will pick up your call right now. Brand is an independence. Go ahead, Brenda. What's your tie raid? Hey, Pete. Well, I live in independence. I'm pretty upset about the data centers because there is a false narrative

3:10driving America's data center explosion that we need massive hyperscale data centers to dominate the emerging AI landscape. That's a false narrative that is created by the obsolete 1980s technology that this nebius company and other technology companies that need data centers for AI dominance. But AI dominance does not need it. Data centers are obsolete, even before being built, and America is wasting a trillion dollars to build more data centers because of this, the myth that the only way to make software or AI agents fast and scalable is put everything in the cloud and a centralized data center. But quantum fractal technology computing is already proven technology for 40 years as a thousand to a million times faster, therefore meeting only a fraction of the cost and resources.

4:10Right now, they're using $400,000, or sorry, $400,000 gallons of water a day and on the electricity of a 250,000 person city to do what this fractal computing quantum speed can do on a four inch by four inch computer that uses less electricity than even a kitchen microwave oven. I sent this information to the city council and mayor of independence before they voted on it, and they knew about this, and yet they voted on it. Bridget McCannless jumped up at a meeting that I was at and said, oh, tell about the closed water system and how sustainable it is. What's more sustainable than a just a four inch by four inch device you can put in your pocket? Yeah. Well, I'm glad you got them the information.

5:10It's too bad they did nothing with it, Brenda, but you seem like you're on top of it, and I wish that more people were. Yes. Well, thanks for letting me vent. That's very good. That's the point of it. 913-408-7957. That's it right there. You know, we talked, we started off the show talking about last night's city council meeting in independence tied to the data center going up and we'll have more on it throughout the morning here on KC about, but that's the beauty of the segment. That's what it's all about. I have a little tire. Oh, you want to get in a quick tire and jump in. All right. All right. Well, let John, I'll handle the phones at 913-408-7957, Mark, you can squeeze in your tire right now. Go. I wasn't here yesterday. I was going to jump in on the bracket,ology stuff, and, you know, I was going to talk about KU, how they, you know, got screwed by being the four seed in the toughest bracket, but I have to, I was listening to the show yesterday on the app and you did the one seeds in Kansas and Missouri, the one or the 12 season Kansas and Missouri and the 16s, I believe.

6:10Yes. I'm very disappointed that Adam Hamilton didn't make the cut as a 12 seed. You want Adam Hamilton as a 12 seed when I gave, for those that missed it, I had some fun with this yesterday. I gave the one seeds in Kansas City area politics. I gave 12 seeds, which typically are seeds that like are underdogs, but could pull off the win. And then I gave a bunch of 16 seeds. So let me just look back on that real quick. Yeah. Get them right here. I got them in front of me. My one seeds. Once again, these are just people that win. It's not people I like. It's not based on who my favorite politicians are. My one seeds were during Moran Sheree's David's, Mike Kio and Sam Graves. My 12 seeds were Karen Circovitch, who's running for Johnson County chair, Vicki Schmidt running for governor of Kansas because, you know, they, they need an upset to win, but they could theoretically win in the right circumstances. And then Sean Smith and Nathan Willett on the Missouri side of the state line. So you wanted Adam Hamilton in there.

7:12I tried to do two in Kansas and two in Missouri for each of my seedings. I could see Adam Hamilton being in there, but here's the problem and here's why I didn't put Adam Hamilton in there. Adam Hamilton does not truly control his ability to win. He needs the Democrats to clear the field. So it's not like it's just, hey, if Adam Hamilton runs a great campaign, he can end up winning the US Senate race against Roger Marshall. He needs things that are out of his control to happen. IE, no Democrat to run. So Democrats vote for the independent guy. And then he could beat Roger Marshall. That's why I didn't put him in there, Mark. So he's kind of the play in 11 seed. He's the Miami of Ohio. All right. That's, that's what he is at 913 408, 795, 7 is our text line and our studio line here on KCMO talk radio. It is a same Patrick's day morning across Kansas City.

8:13It's also spring break. So I don't, you know, people are out and about doing their things. Let's go to Parkville. That is where victory is on a tirade Tuesday. Go. Ah, good morning. The Austin Hopper's in Patrick's days for you, sir. Okay. The thing is, okay, back to the tirade. So Shannon Brein was doing an interview with some congressman, some Democrat Nimnuts on the weekend. It really irritated the hell out. I mean, he keeps saying, well, you know, we need to have, this is a democracy. This is why we need to have debates about this war. So, sir, this is a representative republic. And the people elected Donald J. Trump as commander in chief of the United States military and he's doing his job. Why don't you do yours and pass the say back and all this other stuff that will actually protect the home front? All right, he's still there, Victor. That was it. All right. He dropped the mic. That's good, brother. That's good. I like that. And for Shannon Brein and Fox News Sunday, airing at 10 o'clock right here on KCMO every

9:16Sunday. Let's go to do, do, do, do, do Chris and Lawson. Go ahead, Chris. So I work right off the front street. So I take, I literally take the front street exit off of 435 every morning in every afternoon. Why does it take a big soccer game to have a police presence finally and to get the place cleaned up down there? I don't get it. I'll get it. Yeah, yeah, you, you, you know the answer to your question. You know the answer. Yeah, it's just a tie, right? No, but it's a good one. You're right. Like literally they want to make the town look better for people who are going to pop in for six weeks and most of them will never come back rather than the people who are paying the taxes and live here 365 days a year and work here and travel and commute 365 days a year. That's, that's the reality to your point. Yeah, yeah. It's a good one. I love your show. All right, Chris. Thanks brother. I appreciate it. That's excellent.

10:16It's, it's a sad, sad reality. But that's what you're going to see. They'll be sweeping homeless camps around Kansas City. They'll be making sure the streets are pristine. They'll have extra police presence. But if it's, you know, you driving to work, you going down the team mobile for whatever it may be, you know, good luck. If I can do a 30 second tie right, just put a bow on this here real quick, speaking to the big. All right. All right. I got time. Good. Yeah. All right. Thank you. I was down at the big 12 tournament last week. I mentioned on Thursday and you know, I did a little bit of media down there where I was checking out the press conferences. I have not been around sports media probably since last year's big 12 tournament. The questions are so bad, so bad. I mean, I'm sending these press conferences and the, could you talk about? Could you talk about that play? Talk about that decision, ask a question for a who, what, where, when, why? This is not rocket science.

11:18Ask a question. Don't tell a guy to talk about something. I would have such a hard time as a coach. If someone said to me, talk about fill in the blank, say, well, what do you want to know? Ask me a stinking question and then I'll answer the question. Don't tell me to talk about something. I mean, but these guys in sports media, it's like, this is media journalism 101, whatever you want to call it, who, what, where, when, why? And not that I've ever done a perfect interview. Nobody has, but you've got two hours of a game to watch to, to, to ask a coach or a player a single question. And you'd give me a talk about how do we talk about how you're not able to ask a question. That's what we should talk about. Trash me nuts. It really does. They don't know what the fuck you're doing. You understand that? Oh boy. It's killing me. No one gives a sh**. All right, that's enough Mark. Stop.

12:18Stop. Stop. Jeez. Come on. Enough. I love. He's got a knee. He's got two as a matter of fact. But is one injured? Is that, you know? Yeah. Got a hip. Thank you for stating the obvious. Duh.
