Hey there, I'm Kendra Adachi and my show The Lazy Genius Podcast helps you be a genius about the things that matter and lazy about the things that don't and you get to decide what matters.

The Royals been mathematically eliminated yet. Do we know? Do we know Dana has the Royals baseball team been mathematically eliminated? We almost pulled it out last night. We did not. I believe there's five more they could lose, but we need to be winning. It was six before they lost two games in a row and then they lost last night. By my math, assuming everybody else did what they weren't supposed to do

or were supposed to do, however you look at it, we would be down to, we have three more losses available before we are mathematically eliminated. I do think Caglione is going to be the player of the month. They showed his statistics on a slate last night. You guys, he is number one in everything. RBI's, homeruns, I'm trying to think there were like five different metrics. So anyway. I still contend they brought him up too soon, but he has grown into his roles so far without a doubt. And I take no joy in the world. It kind of seems like you do. No, are we sure about that? So let me explain and I say, I think I speak for you and Frank Boll as well. We take no joy in the Royals not being very competitive this year and certainly more likely than not really more likely than not making the playoffs. Of course. I would prefer that they were super or super ball world series contenders. Absolutely. What we, the three of us guys take a little bit of pleasure in is watching you get so excited. And then when that balloon pops, we're going to be

here to catch the fragments. Okay. We will, we will just wait until that day comes if and when we will discuss it. And then we got to get into the breaking. All right. Dana's head will explode in three, two, the jury in the Lindsey Clancy trial in Massachusetts has come to the judge for a second time now. And they say they are deadlocked. They cannot reach a unanimous decision. I would be shocked if the judge sends them back. Remember they asked to go home yet. They went home at like three o'clock yesterday. Yes, and I said to Scott, I don't remember those on the air off the air, but I said, look, they're about to kill each other. I have a feeling they have formed alliances. There's going to be the, we don't think she's legally responsible alliance. And then there's going to be the, I'm sorry, she murdered three children alliance. We can't just let her walk out of here. And if it were one juror that the other 11 were trying to sway, I think that would be one thing. I have a feeling it's six six at seven five. You're not going to move that many

people over to the other side. So I don't think he should send them back. I think this has been exhausting. I think most of them are going to need therapy for a very long time after witnessing the evidence that they have seen in this horrifying case. I think they retry it. And that also hurts my heart because then you've got to drag all of the families back at you. It's, it's, I don't know that there's ever going to be a resolution in a case like this. If you're right about that, and I do think you are, how many times do you keep bringing this back to a juror's until you finally get one? You can't just let her go home. My God. And as you mentioned yesterday, Massachusetts state law only allows them to send them back to continue deliberation twice with they can send them back for a third time. This is extremely unlikely. If they give, they being the jurors give their consent. It's called the two-year-old Rodriguez rule in Massachusetts named after I believe

two different people. There was a twoee and there was a Rodriguez. And a judge can only send them back, order them back two times. If two times they come back and they say, we just can't, we can't reach a verdict, then you got to send them home unless they give their consent. Now they've only been sent back once. This would be the second. If the judge said, all right, nice try. And by the way, we are monitoring if there is something coming out of the courthouse and this is, there are cameras in the courtroom. If the judge, I think the term is admonishes the jury, we will carry that and see what he says, whether he orders them back in, which he can do one more time. I don't think that's a good idea. But see, here's the deal though, Dana. There have been hundreds of exhibits, 80 witnesses. This has taken three weeks. That's not cheap. And they keep coming back and there's

got to be a reason that the judge is allowed to send them back twice. And I have to think that there have been plenty of cases where the jury's come back in Massachusetts and said, we just can't, okay, let me ask you this. Get back in there. Does the judge have the right to say, are we talking 111? No, he can't. No. I don't think so. I'm no judge. I'm no lawyer, but I would think that that would be because that would leak out. Probably. And who's the one? I think it's at least two. I'm very, let me use some young person, Lingo. I'm really sus. Here's the other problem about the two women who wore pink. They go to retry this. We're the hell do you retry it? Everybody knows every detail of this case. How do you find an unbiased? Yeah, even if you go the next time and you say, okay, we're going to sequester the jury this time. There's so much information out there. And dare I say so many people who feels so

strongly that I worry in a case like this, people would try to get on this jury. The activist juror, right? There is some confusion. CNN is reporting that they've already been sent back for continued deliberations a second time. Okay, MSNBC is not reporting that. Textline says that the ABC news story that we obviously didn't listen to in our own newscast said the same thing. Okay, let me see if I can find that. The NBC news story says that the judge read the note that the jury gave them today and then responded by reading to the jury the two e-rod regas instructions. Oh my gosh. Okay, so here it is. This is from CNN. And forgive us for not hearing the ABC newscast, a little inside baseball. We're out there. John Wears leaving. We're getting in here. We share the same studio. And so there's a lot of moving parts going on and we're not able to listen to it. All right, so from CNN, the jury and the Lindsey Clancy trial has

resumed deliberations after again telling the judge they are deadlocked for the raising the possibility of a mistrial. The judge read them as Sam just mentioned the two e-rod regas charge, a special final instruction that asks the jurors to consider the reasonable mass of all opinions and to continue deliberating toward a verdict. Did you hear about the woman who was outside and jammed a camera in the face of a juror? Oh, my camera. I mean a phone. No. She has pleaded not guilty to a charge of tampering with a juror. Carries. Oh, yeah. If it is a, if this is just a regular trial, you know, like aggravated robbery, aggravated battery, it carries up to tampering with a juror, up to 10 years in prison. Okay. If the charge is murder, 20 years. Okay. Let's just all take a breath. Okay. If this were some mob figure in a dark alley saying if you don't vote this way,

we're going to kill you. Yes, 20 years. Should someone put a camera in front of a juror? No, you should not invade their private space. You don't know what's going on in that room. You could literally be a costing a juror that believes like you do. You don't even know. Should she be in trouble? Yes. 10 to 20 years. 20. It's a murder trial. Goodness. Yeah. But this case has made people crazy. Well, not only that, but it has kept. And I understand why I find it a fascinating case. I am not convinced that she needs to be convicted of murder. Just based on what I have read and watched and heard and seen. I know that you are. And that's fine. I would not be surprised if this is a hung jury today. The DA holds a news conference this afternoon. I'm just spitballing here. They already know what they're going to do. The DA is not going to be like, we're not going to comment until tomorrow. They already know if the jury is hung, we need to be

ready to say fill in the blank. So they bring it bring it a trial. A second time guarantee that one's going to be a hung jury. And then what do you do? Do you just keep going back to another jury back to another jury until you get one for most people? It is unfathomable that you could brutally murder three children. And keep in mind the five year old and the middle child. Three. Absolutely knew what was happening. And absolutely knew who was doing this to them. They are saying it took somewhere between 19 and 22 minutes to do this. It's graphically horrifying. But I need everyone to understand why it is unfathomable for so many people including myself that something like that could happen. And we go, well, we just can't figure it out. Or that there's no justice for those children. And two things can always be true at the same time. The healthcare

system can fail a woman. She did reach out for help. For whatever reason, it wasn't the correct kind of help that she received. Two things can be true. The healthcare system failed her. And she also murdered those children, right? You can want better healthcare for women. You can be sympathetic to postpartum depression, of course. And the very small amount of women who go through postpartum psychosis, you can want help for those women and fight for a system that delivers it. But you can also over here believe that there has to be some measure of justice for the kids. If there were a different situation and it weren't postpartum psychosis, we've heard stories about maybe a misapplication of certain mental health drugs that caused a chemical imbalance that caused somebody to murder someone. Is it then brought up in the same light in that conversation?

Correct. Like, like, no, I was out of my mind. I had stopped taking my meds and I snapped and killed someone. Sam, to your point, and one of my daughters even said this the other day, if she walks away with just nothing, are we not green lighting somehow this behavior? Well, you're definitely green lighting that as a potential future excuse. Yes. And prove that I wasn't having some sort of mental break. It's borderline impossible to prove that. That's why it is impossible for any jury to figure out what happened here. We are asking them to do the impossible. We will keep an eye on the proceedings as they develop this afternoon. But again, repeating the breaking news, the jury in the Lindsey Clancy case in Massachusetts, the woman accused of killing her three children and cut it out on the text line with the now put Patrick on trial. Stuff. Stop. Stop. Four textures. I'm aware. I've seen them all come in.

Uh, if and when something new develops in the courtroom, we will bring it to you as soon as it happens here on Dana and Parks. Hey, y'all, I'm Maddie. And I'm Poodle. And together, we host the podcast reality gays. We are two ridiculous homosexuals who love nothing more than talking about reality television and tearing it a new one. So whether it's 90 day fiance, love is blind, love after lockup, or any other trash TV show about lonely hearts looking for love, your gay besties got you covered, Joe. New shows every week. Following listen to reality gays wherever you get your podcast. The Missouri Lottery. It's from Fox 4. The Missouri Lottery is looking for one lucky winner who is sitting on an unclaimed prize of $6.6 million. Where was it sold? It was sold to Missouri.

And if you purchase a ticket over the weekend at a Kansas City gas station, that mysterious winner could be you on Saturday. Okay. An unknown person walked into the quick trip at 106 in state line. Oh, and purchased a Missouri millions ticket that made them an instant millionaire, but they don't know that yet. Apparently, according to the unclaimed prizes page on the Missouri Lottery website, the individual secured the $6.6 million jackpot with the following winning numbers. Get your tickets out. Seven, 11, 24, 25, 31 and 37. The mysterious winner has until the end of February of next year to claim their prize otherwise, they will lose the jackpot entirely. And the earnings will go towards Missouri's education fund. Very funny. Ha, ha, I get the joke. I'm not saying that that might be a Johnny's quick trip, but that's a good trip. Would he buy a, what was his, Mo millions? Mo millions ticket? Don't know,

trying to think what we were doing on Saturday. Well, he wasn't working so that he wouldn't have gone down to that quick trip. Probably not. You're probably golfing. What's funny about these stories when you figure out there's a winner sort of locally, even beyond locally, if they say like, winning ticket was sold in Nevada. I always do that like, okay, was I in Nevada? I don't think I was don't we all do that? No, is that a big? We were at one of these places. By the way, with the $6.6 million after the federal withholding of 24% and Missouri state withholding of 4%, the check would be worth $4.7 million. So I frequent that QT and I never buy lottery tickets. Oh, man. Can't wait if you don't play. Does anybody buy Mo millions? Not a lot of people. That's why the jackpot's only $6.6 million. Speaking of tickets and we're not going to make this a topic, but Sam had a theory yesterday and he was right. If you missed the, I think, three o'clock hour yesterday, a car that I happened to own that I was not driving in a state where I

do not live was photographed by a computer apparently speeding on the day that my daughters arrived on the East Coast. Okay. And a lot of you reached out yesterday and said, if you don't pay this, it'll go to collections. They said, your insurance is going to go up. So last night I went home Scott. I wrote a letter to one of the lawmakers in that town and said, look, this is not how we do business in Kansas City. I don't understand why this is how you do business there. The back of the ticket says you cannot go to the police department to handle this and you cannot go to city hall. And I thought, man, if you're a taxpayer and you get a ticket in your town and then the city tries to tell you a straight face, do not show up here to give us your money or discuss this. I'd be angry, right? Can you imagine if you got a ticket in Shawnee and they said, pay it. You have no other option and don't come here. I don't speed in Shawnee. I looked a little closer.

No one does the ticket last night because I'm not going to pay it. I'm going to fight it because I've never set foot in the area where this happened. Well, your car has. And in the tiny, tiny print, tiny, tiny print, it says this violation is not a moving violation. No points will be assessed for the violation and it will not appear on your driving record. And that's on because if I'm caught speeding, it most certainly is a police matter. I would assume it goes against my driving record if you're not allowed to double it, which is also sort of a scam. So I started thinking Sam, why would this not be a moving violation? It looks like in the photograph that the computer sent me that car is in fact moving. In fact, it tells you that the car was going 11 over the speed limit. Would you like to know why it is not a moving violation? Please explain it to me. And I think I

found the paragraph that addresses this now. Answer is not from the police department at all. Pretend like you're writing for the USA today. The answer is that the red light cameras were deemed unconstitutional. Something about taxation without representation, something about the right to confront your accuser. There's like three or four different amendments that violates. Yeah. So the cities all over the country, including I think they're back in Kansas City in a couple of spots, said, well, it's not a police matter. So it's not the government doing it. Yeah. What we're going to do is we're going to hire a third party company to find you and then that company is going to take that fine and give it to us. You guys, it's a money grab. But that that this is not from the city where this and by the way, I want to be clear, my daughter did not run a red light. She was speeding according to a computer. If in fact, she was the one behind the wheel, which I don't even know. I don't know. It could have been her sister, Scott. I don't know who is driving. I think it could have been stolen. Who knows? It sure looks like an official police

ticket, doesn't it? It says notice of violation. What is the violation? It absolutely looks like a ticket. How has this not been challenged? How is this not illegal? Now, by the way, you can go online and give us your debit or credit card. That does include a state authorized $15 processing fee. So what are you going to do when they turn you over to collections? I'm just going to eat the bad credit report. I haven't decided. I have to pay it. You have to pay it. I'm so angry because there's even a little seal they've taken the city's seal and put the seal up top. Again, this has nothing to do with the police department or the city. It's a money grab. I read somewhere they made $3 million in one month on these speed computer cameras delivered through again some private third party company, which is why you can't go into city hall or the police department and say, I don't understand

what this is. They don't want you showing up there because they're not in charge of any of it. Yes, they are. We need one person with millions of dollars to be affected by this that will fight it all the way up to the Supreme Court again so that then they can say, hey guys, we already told you once knock it off, but nobody's going to do that because it's cheaper to pay the $60 ticket or whatever the ticket costs. What you need to find is some sort of civil liberties group. Oh, yeah. That has deep pockets that is willing to do this almost in a class action sort of way. Here's funny. Listen to this. Questions. If you have questions, please contact customer service. And then there's a 1-800 number attached. I guarantee you, I haven't called that customer service number is going to go directly to a call center. Absolutely. If this were happening here, dare I say there would be rides in the streets. There would be packed city council meetings.

Yes, of course. And there should be. It is happening here. You want to take my money, but there's I can't call a local county prosecutor. I can't. And by the way, they do allow a few exceptions for speeding if you are crowning with child on the way to labor and delivery. And you can prove it if you had your car stolen and you can prove it, you can request a hearing. Other than that city, I don't want to deal with it, pay the fine and go away. Back in September of 2025, about a year ago, the city paid $2 million to a third party company to reinstall red light and speed cameras throughout the city, which city? Kansas City. I'm not okay with this. Again, not okay to speed. If in fact she was behind the wheel of that car, she shouldn't have been speeding. She knows now she feels terrible. Scott, you know what she said? She was mom, I'm so worried. This happened on the first day I got into town. There's more kind of it happened to her roommates because now the kids are all talking about it. She said, we just I didn't know. I didn't mean

to speed, but she said now I am like stressed out driving. I'm not ever going to speed. Was there another one in the mailbox last night? There wasn't one last night, but there's about a three week lag. Yep, three weeks. By the way, the ACLU is the organization that fought it and took it to the Supreme Court last time. So they're going to have to do it again and lost. No, they won. They won. That's why they pulled all the cameras out of all the cities across the country, and then they found a work around 913 586 777 985 867 985 if you miss a segment, be sure to check out the dating parks podcast. You can follow us on Apple podcast on Spotify or wherever you get your podcast. Dan is having a bad day. Johnny just informed her that he did not buy a lottery ticket at the quick trip at 106th and

the state one. Things we already knew. Did you happen to buy a $6 million mega millions ticket? You forgot to know. It was MoMillians. So you might want to ask that one. Can you imagine if you actually went into the quick trip on state line, ask for a mega and you got a mega millions or a power ball, you know, 20 minutes, but like didn't get the MoMillians. How many of those would you sell back when you work there Sam in any given day of the state? Lot of options very little. Really. That's why the jackpot was only $6.6 million. Okay, but that makes it even worse because that means there's let's say there's like 20 people in Kansas City that went to the state line quick trip right by 435 right over by Jasper's and they thought I'm going to buy a give me a MoMillians. It's going to narrow it down. Five people right now are having a heart attack. They're going to check their ticket and it's going to be one of the six that isn't the winner and there's going to be one of you out there that is.

But who buys a lottery ticket doesn't check the numbers. A lot of people buy a lot of lottery tickets. And the folks that buy the state ones were typically folks that were buying all of them. So they'd get the power ball, the mega, the pick three, the pick four, all the different state options, the cash for life, whatever that one is. Yeah. And yeah, they just throw them in the console and assume because they never won before. They're not going to win this time. Like there's a Murphy's gas station down the street for my house and I go in there from time to time grab a soda or a gatorade, whatever. And they have a rack of lottery tickets. And we've all talked about this before. I always seem to get behind the guy that goes, yeah, I'll take. Give me the mega give me two on the mega millions. I'll take the mo lottery, mo millions, whatever. Yeah. But how can there be all these different lotteries? And yet, I mean, I can go over the numbers on how much on this $6.6 million

ticket that was sold in Kansas City. Yeah. How much the federal government's getting out of it, it's over a million dollars. The state of Missouri is taking in more than a quarter million dollars. How in the world, a, do we owe any taxes on anything? Right. And b, how are we in so much debt? And how do our schools constantly have funding issues? Well, that's a whole different can of worms. Don't well, the boats we're going to pay for that. Oh, yeah, the casinos on the river we're going to pay for all of that. Can I give everyone some good news? Yeah. I openly wept before I came into work today. Oh, my god. If you work for the city of Merriam, I'm going to personally submit all of them for the Nobel Peace Prize. Today is the day. I got a text from my daughter. She said, Oh, my gosh, I think the traitor Joseph's open. It's here. It's finally here. Go get your $5 flowers. Go get those little crispy things with the rosemary and the raisins in them.

Now I do believe because it is in Kansas, they cannot carry their extensive liquor. They do not have to buck check, which I've never even had. I go in there for like fresh mozzarella and basil and their flowers. You, you guys, so it's open. And if you've never been to a traitor, Joe's, you know, you should check it out because it's great. And I will tell you the parking lot was packed. What's a small parking one? I know I guarantee you there was a line out the door. So I don't know is there one of North, but there was one right down the street for me in Leewood when I lived there forever and ever. And so I've missed it because I was used to just having one. And I didn't buy all my groceries there. I didn't go in there all the time. And part of the issue was there. That parking lot over in Leewood's after size of the one down here. I mean, it really was hard to get in and out. This one does have more spaces. So enjoy. It's open. I will celebrate that way more than I will celebrate, you know, like a big, toothy beaver that keeps suing everybody. Oh my. Your disdain for buckies is unhealthy.

Their vengeance against small pop stores. I'll give you that one. That have like a lamb as their mascot that are getting sued because well, the lamb has a red tongue and our beaver has a red don't, you know, but you hated buckies before all these stories came out. I did. But I believe, I think they're a bully. You were and they are, but you were anti buckies. The second somebody said the buckies was going to open up in Wyndaac County. And they have like the best of the best without being a bully. That's right. You can. Right. They got 128 gas pumps. Personalized Missouri license plate bearing a derogatory term towards Asians is drawing criticism after a shopper spotted outside of a schnooks just south of St. Louis Hills. James that doesn't give a last name who saw the plate. This is from first alert for St. Louis. First alert for James who saw the plate said he is a second generation Asian American, quoting here from James, they're allowing a racial slur

to be on a plate. James said seeing the plate brought back painful memories. He grew up in St. Louis and was often called the slur by other children and heard it again during COVID. If you're wondering what it is, it is a five letter word. It starts with a C and ends with a K. And there's an H after the C you can figure it out. I haven't heard anybody use that term derogatory in like 15 years. I was going to say more than that. And this is in St. Louis. Yeah. The Missouri Department of Revenue, which of course is in charge of license plates, has issued a statement. All personalized plates are vetted through a three tier review system. The last step includes a review by our legal department because a license plate is limited in the number of characters. Applicants often use a pair are a part of their first or last name. As is the case here. Okay. Can I ask a question? You may. This is a personalized license plate, meaning

someone paid money because they want that plate. First alert for previously reported that in 2001, Missouri courts approved the license plate reading Aryan. Okay. Let me just ask you this. What if the bearer of that license plate happens to be Asian? And if they're not, Scott, what other possible reason would you have for putting that on them? So as I read the statement. It doesn't make it okay, but I have a feeling the person am I wrong? Okay. So the Missouri Department of Revenue and their statement, I just read this in Migos says, because a license, this is from the state. Because a license plate is limited in the number of characters, applicants often use a part of their first or last name. As is the case. Okay. Like Charlie, whatever. Ink her. Yes. I understand. Now, if you tell me that somebody went in there and

didn't realize what they were doing, I'm going to find that extremely hard to believe. Now, they may have said, I want Charlie Ink her on it. Okay. Is everybody figuring this out? Yeah. All right. And maybe the person behind the counter was like, that doesn't make any sense. That's my name. And then he whips out his license or driver's license and says, see, my name is Charlie Ink her. You have to tell them because we've had personalized plates in our family a couple of times. You have to write in the space what it means and why. Not that you can't lie if you're trying to slip one past the old government. But you and in my daughters, it was so hilariously obvious that I wrote like it's her net. Look at her name. This is silly. You at least have to tell them on the Kansas side. I cannot believe you agreed to allow your daughters to put their name on the license plate. It was a very Lawrence car. It was sort of a famous car in Lawrence. And then you want to hear something lovely. What? When she went off to grad school, it was not an appropriate car for her to take to the East Coast. It's more of a toy

than a car. Another freshman girl inherited the car and and is up at KU. And my daughter said, that is a Lawrence car. That car belongs in Lawrence and it belongs with a girl in Lawrence. But wait, was the license plate your daughter's name? No, I'm not entirely. But it was part of it. It was just a cute little thing she did. And so I wasn't worried not that crime doesn't have an in Lawrence. And when it does, it seems to come from one town in particular. Okay. But I'm sorry. I'm staying. In fact, what town would that be? They know what it be? I'm sorry. Every time there's a shooting or a stabbing, the suspect is from Topeka. I'm calling it what it is. Google it. You will get results. Should we ban people from Topeka from ever going to Lawrence? It's a pattern, Scott. Should we name Topeka West Lawrence? It's a pattern. Oh, it is a problem at it pattern. I mean, my license plate has two meanings. The meaning that I

wrote down for it was the one that got it cleared, but you could look at it and read the inappropriate meaning as well. I never even thought about that. And I usually would be the one to think of the inappropriate thing first. It has an inappropriate meaning. I didn't know that. Have you ever had a personalized license plate? No, and I don't know what the only time I ever thought about getting one, it was going to be THNLZZY. Then Lizzie. VanLazy? Wow. No, T-H-NLZZY. And then I just... That man says he's VanLazy. 913-586-7798 Dana Wright, same Steve the third. My name is Scott Parks here on KMBC. Life can feel overwhelming, but on my podcast, from the heart with Rachel Brayton, we're in it together. Every Friday brings you a new story. Listen to From the Heart with Rachel Brayton, wherever you get your podcasts. Have you ever had a VanLazy plate? No, I thought I'd

have one in you told me not to. I just think it's dangerous. Why? Because first, I dated a guy years and years ago who had her first name and it was a unique spelling of a very common name. Oh yeah, I wouldn't do that. That was her VanLazy plate and I was like, my old one was 6' Sam. Yeah, it was. I have to get a new one here in a couple of months. I was going to put not a DJ on my car. That's right. And you advised against it. And I have many friends who work on the music side of what we do. But that term has sort of become like Kleenex where everyone calls everything like that what we do. You're on the radio, you're DJ. You're a DJ and I'm not going to correct them, but I had someone say to me the other day, we were listening to it. What was it? Pickleball. And we were listening to some music. This is a really good playlist. And he goes, well, thank you. That's a great compliment coming from a DJ and I went, oh, what did you say? Well, there's no way to say like, you would not want me

to be a DJ. I am not qualified to be a DJ. I don't have the skills to be a DJ. I don't, I have no idea who's on the top 40 right now. If it's not Taylor Swift or Elton John, it's not. I don't. I listen to what I like, right? I would be an object failure doing that job. I'm not saying what we do is more important, but it is distinctly different. I will agree with you on that one. Yeah, it's just different. I did say have I did. I don't want to say correct, but somebody said, yeah, this is Scott. He's he's a he's on the radio. He's a DJ and I said, talk to your host. I don't know why I don't know why it's become like a majority of why I don't know. Be why careful. If those brows getting any higher, they're going to recede into your hair line. No, they'll reach over to Weston Shawnee. I'm just saying I'm trying to come up with another in someone else's job. Like what it is that you do that's okay. No, I'm a flight attendant. Excuse me, stewardess. Yeah, you're right.

Janitor sanitation worker. I am an engineer of the custodial services. Yes, they are. Yes, they are. Now, but you would call him a custodian. Yeah, but you wouldn't say janitor now because that's kind of insulting, right? I've always wondered is cop because I've heard cops call themselves I'm a cop, but I've also been told by other people who are not cops. Oh, don't call them. Yeah, call them please. Yeah, that's like an insult to call them a cop or an LEO. Just say LEO. You're always safe. Oh, I just say cop when I talk to a cop. Facing a time crunch, Kansas City could soon approve a funding plan to get construction rolling on a future park over the South Highway Loop Downtown, but some officials worry about the financial implications of moving forward with the park projects as a city faces other needs. The City Council's Infrastructure Committee advanced plans yesterday that would contemplate using $51 million in bond funding to move the future Roy Blunt Lumennery Park over I-67E toward

construction. So dumb, they're naming it after Roy Blunt. Doesn't he live in a million six? No, he used to. The future park named for the former US Senator who helped secure federal funds for the project would help reconnect the downtown loop with the crossroads midtown and beyond. As it last stood, the last report that I saw, we were still short $167 million. Let's just go ahead and start breaking ground. Who cares? We're already $110 million in the Rears as a city in general. Whatever. Let's round up. What ever. Moving forward with a phased approach, the first phase would cost $160 million and construction could last through 2029. Officials say a $28 million federal grant needs to be accounted for by the end of the month while I-67E needs to be reopened by August of 2028. It's all very confusing. There's a lot of math in here. The Missouri Supreme Court this week

could decide the future of the Royal Stadium project as lawmakers are arguing that the underlying funding bill passed last year is unconstitutional. They took up the arguments on Tuesday and still not have- have not made a decision. We'll get into that in an hour coming up. Maybe the four-clock hour. Telephone number here is 913-586-7798. Coming up, you might not know this is a crime. But it is. Oh god no. And he's back at it. And we don't- we don't understand why. But do we know who he is? He's the mystery sniffer. We got the story straight ahead. Thanks for listening to the Dana and Parks podcast. Remember you can catch us online anytime at KMBZ.com.
