Well all you have made a fine mess my friend and that is indeed where the team USA is the
World Baseball Classic.
We begin with that today on KKHI.
After a reminder, if you got hammered by this storm last night and yesterday, it was
a big one.
We saw videos of hailstones much bigger than golf balls dropping all over the Kansas City
area and within an hour or two of Kansas City and that thin line band that came through
and we got a little bit of rain in my house.
We didn't get anything severe but there was a stretch of folks in the metro that were
in the red zone of the radar and it was apparently wild.
I mean really heavy winds, heavy heavy rain, heavy hail, it is the day to call buck roofing.

All right, we're slammed today and I've made a change.
I'm actually the first time I think in the history of KKH, I'm moving today's lead to
tomorrow because I want to talk about something that's pretty heavy and pretty deep, but we
just had madness last night in the World Baseball Classic, so I'm shifting it up and I'm
going to start with the baseball.
Kansas City is the number one market in America watching this.
The television ratings are in, Kansas City is number one in America watching the World
Baseball Classic.
That tells me I need to be talking about this even more on my podcast.
I might even take a little credit.
I've been talking about this thing on the podcast and on radio for over a week and I'm pretty
sure that I've convinced at least a few people to watch this thing.
Now, this isn't the NFL.
This isn't the massive numbers that you see with huge giant scope events, 3.45 million
people watch the opener on Friday night in the United States.
To me, that's a really low number, but it represents about 140% increase over three
years ago.
So this event is really, really gaining momentum.
Here's what I don't understand.
If Aaron Judge is the star of the team and Aaron Judge plays for the New York Yankees
and some 20 million, 25 million people live in the New York metropolitan area and there
must be, I don't know, 20, 30, 40 million Yankee fans nationwide.
How are there only three and a half million people watching?
I don't get that.
I feel like Kansas City's big number is a big part of the three and a half million because
a lot of people in my circle are watching because of Bobby Witt in Kansas City.
Kansas City is the number one market.
Number two is Philadelphia.
Number three is St. Louis for people watching the world baseball classic.
I'm not surprised by that Kansas City's incredible sports town.
I've known that my whole life.
This particular game on Tuesday night with Team USA falling to Italy has created an absolute
mess and a quagmire for Team USA that nobody saw coming.
Mark Deros of the manager of the team was doing interviews before the game yesterday.
Everybody was sold.
Everybody was sold.
It's over.
The US has advanced that they were moving on regardless of the outcome against Italy.
Team USA was 3 and 0 going into the Italy game.
USA lost eight to six.
Now it's discovered they are not in that there is a three way tie breaker.
If Mexico beats Italy tonight, Wednesday night, each team will have gone three and one in
a five team pool.
That's almost impossible to do and they will all have beaten each other equally.
United States beat Mexico, Mexico will have beaten Italy, Italy will have beaten the USA.
There is a scenario where the United States does not advance if that happens.
Now, the easy way here is for Italy to just go ahead and beat Mexico.
Mexico loses.
That's easy.
It's the second loss in Italy and the United States advance.
But if Mexico wins, this is just where it gets really, really goofy.
It's a runs per out ratio during the entire five team pool play.
So it really depends on whether Mexico wins and scores five runs or more.
If they do, this is very confusing.
I should even get into this.
You want to root for Italy to win this game.
But there is a way if Mexico scores enough runs that if they lose, the USA would still
be in.
It's if they lose their in period that if they win, the USA would still be in in the
three way tie breaker.
So basically what you do is root for Italy and the way they played on Tuesday night, there's
a chance Jack Caglione of the Kansas City Royals was two for two in this game with a walk
a two run homer and three runs score.
He was all over the place.
Vinnie Pasquantino was over five, but was serving up espresso shots in the dugout because
of course, Vinnie's that guy when they hit a home run, they have a little cup.
They fill it with espresso and the guy who hits the home run has to do the shot during
the game.
And then Vinnie, like the godfather grabs him by the neck and kisses him on each cheek.
This is what the Italians are doing and they did it a lot against team USA because marked
a roast of the manager thought team USA had already advanced, which is just astonishing
to me that there is a scenario that the USA does not advance and he didn't know it going
into this game.
He rested some players.
He didn't pitch his best pitchers.
He said, well, we still want to win, but you know, we've punched our ticket.
That's what he said on MLB network.
Our ticket is punched and it most certainly is not.
We'll see how it plays out on Wednesday night.
The odds are with the United States advancing, but that doesn't mean that they will.
This thing's gotten wild.
I don't like the tie breaker scenarios.
What happens out of four groups of five teams is two teams from each group will advance.
Then the United States would play either Friday or Saturday in a quarterfinal game, but
they lose.
They go home.
If they win the advance, then they would play either Sunday or Monday in a semifinal
game.
Again, lose.
You go home when you advance and then Tuesday night is the championship game.
I don't think they've got it.
They don't look to me like they've got it.
They didn't look locked in.
They looked to shovel.
They look like maybe going back to their major league teams is on their mind a little
bit.
Tarks.
Scooble is left and gone back to the Tigers.
So this is not the best pitching that the United States can try out there.
So that's disappointing.
That's that's happened with this team, but nonetheless, they, they move on.
Bobby Witt was two for five in this game because of course, Bobby Witt was two for five
in this game.
And now the United States sits back and waits in Houston to see the outcome of the Mexico
Italy game on Wednesday night.
Should be a lot of fun to watch.
And it is very impressive that Kansas City is the number one market in America watching
the World Baseball Classic.
It says a lot.
It does.
We're not the biggest city.
Well, this is one great sports town.
I mean, it is is truly one great sports town.
There was also a great moment in the World Baseball Classic in Tokyo yesterday for a country
called Chechi, which is I understand it is the old Czechoslovakia.
They have a picture named Andrej Satorio, who is a full-time electrician.
And he is known in Japan from three years ago as the electrician that struck out
Shohei Otani.
This is stuff of Japanese legend.
He's like 40.
He's pitched.
He's been around.
He's not like a big leager, but he's been around and he's played baseball.
He's not some guy they just picked up off the job site, but he is basically baseball retired
in a full-time electrician.
He pitches in this game against Japan, which Japan wins 9-0, okay?
But this dude goes four and two-thirds scoreless.
And when the game is over, everybody stays in Tokyo.
And they bring the Chechi and pitcher back out.
He didn't pitch for Japan.
They bring him back out on the field and give him a standing ovation.
It must have lasted five minutes.
And the music played in the background, he tipped his cap and he waved.
He is a Chechi legend in Japan because once upon a time he struck out Shohei Otani and
he's a professional electrician.
It is a wonderful story.
There have been wonderful stories in this world baseball classic.
We don't recognize maybe people who, men who've pitched in baseball from other countries
that never really made an impression in America or in the big leagues, but they are known internationally
from some of the baseball that they've played.
And I think it's just remarkable to watch.
It is also very apparent watching this tournament that this means more to the other countries
than the USA.
Now by saying that, I need to put a little asterisk by that.
When the United States, until they played Italy, when the United States has been playing,
it's meant a lot to them.
You can see how much it means to them.
They've been excited.
They've been up.
They played this game like they were hung over and thought they advanced.
I think they were told they advanced and they came out and they aren't, they've not
advanced.
This is a, this should be a huge sports scandal.
The fact that they, they misread this and didn't understand what kind of a run differential
tiebreaker there was that could beat them out of this thing is crazy.
And this game did end with drama.
Aaron Judge was at the plate in the ninth inning with the tying run on it with runner
on base.
A home run would have tied the game and they lose eight six.
It wasn't without drama.
But the United States clearly thought they were moving on and it's a pretty big scandal.
And some of the players have left and they don't pitch the pitchers as deep as other teams
will.
They can't manage it the same way as other teams.
They just can't.
There's too much on the line with major league teams paying.
In some cases, you know, tens of millions of dollars to these players.
And the last thing you want to do is where Bobby would out or get him hurt, right?
The last thing you would want is for Michael Walker to be pitching too much.
They had a rookie McLean out there and that's rookie out there pitching last night.
One of Michael Walker.
Walker could have pitched, but the royals don't want that.
They don't want him going to the World Baseball Classic and be in a horse.
So it is weird that way, but when the actual play is happening, man, it's intense.
It's real baseball.
It's intense.
And it's fun.
And we hope you're enjoying it.
All right.
Want to thank our sponsors today here at K K H.I.

they have the ability to train and hire veterans to be in the golf industry, which is really
a cool program.
We love these folks.
Greatlifegolf.com.
Give me a look.
Okay.
On to more in the sports world and we'll go to the go to story in sports in Kansas City
and that's the chiefs who have made some sort of big news this week that there is not
a wine.county sports authority.
There's not a Jackson County sports authority anymore.
There is a Kansas sports facility authority just for the Kansas City chiefs.
Now we thought this was coming when I was doing all those stories about the real estate
that the chiefs had options to buy for their headquarters, I felt certain they were moving
and building a stadium at the legends that that was done.
They were looking for a corporate home somewhere around the 435 corridor to build in Kansas
as well.
We knew the star bonds were in play for all of that.
At that point in time, I think some people thought, well, okay, if they go to the legends,
they'll be a wine.county sports authority in the counties got it.
The chiefs never wanted that.
All due respect to wine.county, the chiefs did not want the county involved in that because
they could foresee problems down the road.
They don't foresee problems down the road with the state of Kansas financing all this and
taking care of all the property taxes.
So the state of Kansas apparently is going to own this stadium and there will be no property
tax on it for the chiefs.
I mean, they got it all.
The chiefs just flat got their way in every possible way with the state of Kansas, which
is what you do if you're the state of Kansas and you don't have anything like this and
you want a crown jewel.
So I have, I'm not knocking anybody in Kansas for doing this.
I'm not.
I know what it is.
I know how it works.
I know how important it is and I know what it will mean for the state of Kansas and
wine.county.
I'm not knocking them.
Again, this is not a Democrat run state that is underwater and broke and services aren't
being tended to and, you know, it's a terrible place to live.
That's not what Kansas is.
Okay, Kansas has a billions of dollars worth of surplus.
They could literally write a check right now for their part of the stadium without the
star bonds.
That's how much surplus there is in the budget in Kansas.
But they really need to work on now that they've done this is a state law limiting property
taxes because Kansas are getting killed with property taxes.
Missourians too.
These states need to put all kinds of guardrails in for what counties can do with your property
taxes because it is spiraled and crazy and out of control with the chiefs win the chiefs
win again.
Travis Kelsey went on the Pat McAfee show and did an interview about resigning with the
chiefs and he credits Taylor Swift for resigning with the chiefs not because she told him to
or convinced him to.
He says it's him watching her every day and how dedicated she is to her craft.
Kelsey said quote, we share the same love for what we do.
Fortunately, we've had this desire since we were kids in our selective professions.
It's amazing to see her keep going to the table, keep finding new things to write about,
keep finding new melodies and things like that.
And on top of it, still seeing her have that love and joy in what she does.
And yeah, of course, that's motivating to me.
That's motivating for anyone to see, let alone my fiance and knowing that I'm growing
through something where I'm trying to figure out exactly what the future holds for me.
Something like that definitely motivates me to say, you know what, I'm not done either.
Travis Kelsey essentially saying, I'm walking to the table, I'm writing songs, I'm creating
and I'm going to do it.
He's writing with the chiefs.
I love that story.
It wasn't her saying, hey, don't do this.
Don't give this up.
Wasn't her words.
It was her actions.
I think we can all look at that and like and respect that in every way.
The Big 12 basketball tournament is underway.
Kansas State didn't last long.
They played great defense against BYU.
They held him to 105.
Wow, it's case data mess.
There are all kinds of word below the surface.
The case data has a deal for a new coach and it may be imminent and very quick.
That it is set.
It is in place and they have a coach.
We'll see Utah State coach is mentioned, Chris Beard, the old Texas coach is mentioned.
I can't tell you that I know.
I just know I won't be overly excited because Gene Taylor is doing the hiring, but I can
promise you this.
That coach will be better than Jerome Tang.
That's it.
That's all I can promise you.
Mark Turgeons, the head coach at Kansas City, formerly UMKC, he made some news on Tuesday.
He has signed three Kansas City area high school players.
Now I don't know if they're paying a little money at UMKC.
I would think of your hiring, Mark Turgeons.
You might say, look, we got to have a little money somewhere here and pay some guys like
50 grand to come play.
There is no excuse for UMKC to not be good in basketball.
There's got to be some people that would give in some money to NIL and pay just a little
bit in the league that they're in and make a difference and have a chance to be competitive.
But we appreciate the fact that Mark Turgeon is the head coach at UMKC, any signed three
Kansas City area players.
I think it's important if he's going to build something real at Kansas City and try to get
people to go to their games and make sports news in this town.
There must be some Kansas City connections and he is signed three.
Another Kansas City connection in the golf world is playing the next four weeks in a row.
Gary Woodland from Topeka in the University of Kansas, US Open winner, who a few years ago
had a lesion on his brain and had brain surgery as you know is returned to golf and has been
playing.
But he's just opened up and gone public that it has been an absolute nightmare for him to
play because he has PTSD.
He gets terrified and frightened when people are behind him.
He looks into the crowd to make sure everything is safe and somebody's not going to come
run out and do something.
He's based.
I don't know and understand PTSD.
I've heard of it.
I don't know anybody that's had it or at least not that I know of.
So I've got no expertise in commenting on what this is like, but he's done an amazing
interview with golf channel about this and it's I can't just play a clip.
He broke down.
He cried in a couple of places.
He said he was going to the bathroom every time he played, every time he saw a bathroom
just to go in there and cry to take a minute or two and cry.
He's going through emotional hell after this surgery and continuing to play golf and the
players is this week.
That's the one with the island green down at Sawgrass in Florida.
And either on Friday or Monday on this podcast, I'm going to air the full interview with
Gary Woodland.
It's really good and we'll have it for you here on KKI so you can look forward to that.
Also in golf yesterday, I got a call from a guy named Brian Minnes, who's with Maxim
golf.
He's been the golf industry in Kansas City for a long, long time.
And he said, Kevin, I don't know exactly why I'm calling or what this means.
But I guess I'm just asking for guidance.
What should I do?
Can you help?
Is there anything?
And he started telling me a story about a young lady in Carney lives in Northwest Missouri.
Whose dad, I think, is like a pro at the local golf course there, which is not by the way
to get rich.
It's a lifestyle.
You like the game of golf.
You like teaching.
You're basically a teacher.
And he's got a 12 year old girl.
He's been teaching since she was in diapers and her name is Desiree Larson.
And she's 12 and lives in Carney.
And she is one of 12.
She's one of 10 12 year old girls in the entire United States that is qualified to go to
Augusta National in three weeks and compete in the drive putt and chip competition on
national TV.
This is an amazing story.
All I can tell you is, it's not a rich family.
It's not a country club kid, okay?
And it's really expensive to go on this trip.
So Brian, who owns Tiffany Greens and Dubs Dread here in the Kansas City area in Maxim golf
and other courses says, these are great people.
I want to have a golf tournament and raise the funds to pay for a trip so it's not a burden
on the family.
So Brian, that's awesome.
He said, what should I do?
I said, well, first thing is I'll mention it to my listeners.
You want to play in this golf tournament.
It's March 29th at Tiffany Greens in the Northland.
It's right by KCI to help fund Desiree Larson's trip to Augusta.
Augusta does not pay for the trip, which is a little odd to me.
I don't know why they don't, but they don't.
125 bucks is all to play in this tournament.
All of the proceeds are going to go to Desiree's travel fund sponsors will be taken to.
If you don't play golf, but you have a business, you want to donate 500 bucks or a thousand
bucks and be a whole sponsor.
Help us out.
They need to raise at least $10,000 to pay for the family to go on this trip.
They've got to rent a house.
They have to go early.
There's a lot to this.
If you could possibly help out, that would be great.
Go to Tiffany Greens Golf dot com.
That's Tiffany Greens Golf dot com and you'll see it in a pop down box.
It's called March to Augusta.
That's right.
They're trying to raise money in March to get her to Augusta in April.
I can't even tell you, I can't even imagine my 12 year old kid qualifying to play golf
in the drive, drive chip and putt at Augusta national right before the master's on national
TV.
I just can't even put this in the words.
This is such a big deal, such a blessing.
Let's help not just make this a burden for the family.
He's done, the dad has done great work with her teaching of the game.
Ryan tells me she's just an amazing young woman.
I'm going to try to get her on the podcast.
Hard to interview kids in radio on the podcast, but I'm going to try to get her on.
He says she's a special young lady and she'll be great in an interview and I can't wait.
So if you can make a donation, go to Tiffany Greens Golf dot com and click on March to Augusta
for Desiree Larson who is 12 and going to be in the drive chip and putt at Augusta national
really cool stuff.
Now the opposite of Desiree, as I understand it, because Desiree is a very sweet competitor
and understands the classiness of competing golf.
The opposite is 18 year old Mira and Dreeva, who's a tennis star.
She won in Indian Wells, California last year.
She's a defending champion, but she lost yesterday.
And when she lost, she lost her freaking mind.
She threw a racket.
She screamed throughout the match.
She'd been screaming at her coach and her trainers that they weren't good.
And when the match was over, when she had lost, as she's walking off, she throws another
racket and she turns toward where her people were sitting and everyone on the stands at
she always F you all and she storms out.
She was asked about it afterwards.
She said, well, who'd you say F you to and she said, well, everybody, but it starts with
me.
I was saying it to myself.
And so I just said it to all of them.
I don't believe you.
Not a pretty good made up story, but I don't believe you 18 year old tennis brat.
I don't believe you in any way.
We're sorry we have to bring you about the bring your stories about the sore losers and
the brats in sports because they are absolutely without a doubt, unbecoming.
And we don't respect that kind of behavior out on the court.

Okay, so we had, we've got all these violent things happening, we've got terrorism everywhere,
we had a bomb scare at KCI, we had 20 pipe bombs in a trash can at Liberty Memorial.
We had a flight in Nashville being held up with a bomb threat.
We had these two freaks in New York, these jihadists that threw improvised devices at a
crowd of people they thought were anti-Muslim.
Well, I wonder why they're anti-Muslim as the Muslim jihadists were chucking bombs at
them.
I can't imagine.
The mayor of New York came out and said, yeah, this is white supremacy.
These are anti-Islamic people out here protesting or demonstrating or whatever.
Well, okay, yeah, because your parents came from Afghanistan, war torn and became millionaires
here in America and raised you as a spoiled brat in the suburb.
And now you've been hardened as a jihadist and you think you can do this.
They found more bombs now in a storage facility that these two young men made.
And the news coverage of this is almost as bad and this has got to change with the new
owners at CNN.
This is what has to change.
The news coverage of this is bad as the war coverage at CNN.
If you watch CNN and MSNBC, they're trying to convince you that America is losing the
war to Iran and Donald Trump is Hitler and he's a crazy man.
I've never seen like it.
They simply won't support the troops.
Now, if you go back to the Vietnam war, it was similar.
Much of this country took it out on the soldiers and the veterans and that's what they're trying
to revive.
That's who these people are.
They want to create the culture where people in the military are scorned in public that
you look at them and you give them the evil eye that you think they're lesser citizens
because they're on one side of the other.
This has happened before.
This is what happened to Vietnam.
It's not the soldiers fault that they went and were fighting.
If you if the war was unpopular and you didn't like it, America, trust me.
They took it out on soldiers and that generation of soldiers had a lot of problems when they
came home because they didn't feel welcome.
This is absurd.
This is happening in this day and age absurd and here's an example of what CNN does putting
the war part aside would go back to the bombing in New York City.
This is how CNN posted this on their website.
Two Pennsylvania teenagers crossed into New York City Saturday morning for what could have
been a normal day enjoying the city during abnormally warm weather, but in less than an hour
of their lives would drastically change as the pair would be arrested for throwing homemade
bombs during an anti-Muslim protest outside Mayor Mom Donnie's home.
Okay, so two innocent little teenagers went to New York City on a beautiful day to enjoy
the city, but in less than the hour their lives would change because they were at an anti-Muslim
protest outside the mayor's house.
It was Muslim and yes, they did have to put in there that they were throwing homemade
bombs, three words, three words out of 70 words there or more, tell the story.
This is how they framed that story.
CNN has taken it down.
There is no word on whether or not the person was fired that wrote it or the better yet
the person who had who hit send and allowed it, the editor that allowed it.
This is just a disaster.
I feel like we're going to look back and say, man, they were just clinging on to hope for
their party, just clinging on.
If we can get the Save America Act passed, I feel like we're going to win a lot of elections
going forward.
This all feels so dirty and cheated and wrong and everything that they do is so dishonest.
They make up new terms like misinformation and disinformation because it's what they
do.
You imagine describing two jihadist terrorist bombers in New York City.
If you were alive during 9, 11, you would describe them as two Pennsylvania teenagers crossing
into the city for what could have been a normal day enjoying the city with warm weather.
I mean, unbelievable.
What happens in the media in our country?
It's just shameful, absolutely shameful.
All right.
I'll do a couple of, I mean, lighter stories, although this one, it's kind of sad.
I grew up a fan of the sports illustrated swimsuit issue.
I don't know about you.
That was my favorite edition that came in the mail was a little bit controversial around
the Keatsman House.
I'm not going to lie.
All the other 51 issues were okay.
That one, my dad didn't like very much.
My mom never spoke out on these things much.
My dad didn't like it very much.
Now he hated the queen album, fat bottom girls a lot more than that.
But he wasn't a big fan of the SI coming in the mail with these almost naked girls.
One of those that's a little bit older than me, but not a lot was and she wasn't like the
one who got it started.
She came along a little bit later, a supermodel named Kathy Ireland.
Kathy Ireland is currently 62.
I looked at pictures with her and her husband.
She looked like they're happy.
She still looks beautiful, especially at age 62.
Looks great.
She has announced through her lawyer that she is broke and has no retirement, zero.
Forbes estimated her net worth many years ago, many years ago at $420 million.
She was a supermodel of supermodels and she started a company and fragrance lines and
women's products make up all kinds of things, lotions, creams, just got rich and she made
a lot of money modeling $420 million net worth.
She founded basically a company Kathy Ireland.
I don't remember the name of it.
I didn't write it down.
I'm sorry, but like Kathy Ireland enterprises LLC in order to run that company.
She heard a financial person and accountant, a legal team and some marketing folks and
they ran the company and she trusted them and she trusted them and she trusted them and
anything she wanted.
They gave her the money for and she spent and she spent so they didn't steal it all, folks.
But they stole a lot of it and this lawsuit is going to be very interesting because they
believe they have absolute proof that this money was just pilfered over the years and not
accounted for and taken from her.
This story is as old as time.
This happens more with rock stars and ball players than super models or actresses, actors
and actors.
This is a bad one of $420 million net worth, just flat gone is nuts.
Another person in show business is making a lot of money off a very famous person in
show business.
His name is Baz Lerman.
He's a director.
He's a film director in 2022, Baz Lerman produced the movie Elvis and it received eight
Oscar nominations.
I saw it.
It's an excellent film.
It was never really an Elvis fan, but I am a curious American fan of Elvis and his
life and his celebrity and what he was to so many people Elvis was Elvis.
So while Baz Lerman was making this film, he was told that there are reels and reels
and reels of actual footage of Elvis Presley from the very height in the 70s before he got
fat and on draw else other stuff of concerts and events that he did and maybe footage of
him speaking and home movies and all this stuff that nobody can find.
They're undiscovered.
They're the lost Elvis tapes, lost Elvis film footage.
And he looked and looked and looked and he couldn't find it and so he made the film
without any of it, but he didn't quit looking and he obviously had teams of people looking
for this because they found it.
He says in an Indiana Jones style moment, a team, I'm going to play a clip here for you.
In Kansas City, it was not Kansas City.
This is in Hutchinson.
We have salt caves in Hutchinson, some 650 feet deep down beneath the surface of the
earth in the salt caves in Hutchinson, Kansas were dozens of reels of Elvis Presley.
And those were found a couple of years ago in Hutchinson by Baz Lerman's team who went
to every storage facility anywhere in America and just went searching around.
He says they literally broke down a door in this salt cave in behind it.
They found these reels and they have made a documentary called epic EP I see it stands
for Elvis Presley in concert.
It's 97 minutes long.
It's in theaters right now.
People are saying it is amazing because it is all real.
There is no narrator.
It's all in Elvis's work words from things he did sat down.
There's baby films of Lisa Marie, there's concert footage has never been seen.
And this man had to go put this all together.
These were silent reels and he had to find the music from all of these recordings of these
events and match it all up.
He was on the today show about a week ago.
This is the director.
He's Australian.
He's got an accent.
Baz Lerman talking about this rare find in Hutchinson, Kansas, which he describes in
this clip as Kansas City, but this is incredible.
This is never before seen footage that you kind of knew existed, but the fact that you found
it is.
It isn't actually an accident.
It isn't an accident.
It isn't an accident.
What happens is I hear that there's this mythical reel that maybe I'll be able to use the footage
in the movie of Elvis.
I send guys literally into the salt mines in Kansas City, where they keep all the negative.
They kick the door open.
It's a bit, you know, red is of the lost dark, you know, they're playing 65 reels of never
before seen footage of Elvis in the 70s show at his peak, 60 military and 8 mil of his life
never before seen.
No sound.
Takes two years to find the sound, put it all together, work with Peter Jackson, bring
it back to kind of IMAX quality.
And honestly, I've never had a film that has been embraced by generationally.
I mean, in IMAX we're seeing older people take their son 10-year-olds jumping up and
down to, you know, talk about it.
I don't know why talk about it.
I feel the dross.
But it's crazy what's happening.
I was curious, could you have made this film like saying 10 years ago, given the technology
now today that allows you to create this, I mean, it's stunning how crystal clear it is.
It's such a good question, because there's not a single frame of AI in this film.
Peter Jackson and his magicians took the negative 35 millenimorphic, brought it back to
life.
Sixteen million, we were able to print it at a level.
Look, look, this is happening.
I've seen it in four countries now.
I saw it here last night in IMAX.
I saw it clapping and dancing in the theaters, and they say it's this close and experienced
to actually being with Elvis, as they can imagine.
So I didn't really do it.
I just got out of the way.
But I did do one thing.
We found this rare take of Elvis just talking unguarded about his life.
It was like an off camera, yeah, he got in the morning and he just said, look, I've
not only on camera, so he just tells his life story.
John O'Reben and I, my partner in crime on this, says, let's just let Elvis tell his
story himself.
He's the only person who speaks in the film that I know talking has.
He tells the story and he sings it, and that makes it unique, yeah.
Have any of Elvis' living relatives have you seen it?
Well, I know that Priscilla's going to sit this week.
Riley's a great friend of mine and became very close to the family.
You know, there's something, of course, there's never before seen footage of Lisa Marisa
baby in it, so it's obviously a very, very emotional thing for the family, yeah.
You also want to bring Elvis to the stage, right?
I'll tell us more about that.
Well, it's going to happen.
Back to the stage.
I don't know.
It's not my fault.
I mean, I thought Elvis would leave my building like about five years ago.
How do I try them all to keep hanging around?
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, I've got Mulan Rouge here on Broadway and I guess it's a natural thing.
I guess I make theatrical cinema.
You know, like Alan, you know, you're talking about the weather, talking about how cold it
is out there.
If you want to get warmed up, go and see any of my films people like to dance to, but just
one.
You know, the whole family can go and get very hot with Elvis.
I'm sorry.
Elvis, the music.
We'll talk about that.
The idea that generationally Elvis right now just spans every generation.
Why do you think that is?
You know what?
If you just said this seven years ago, I saw a video this morning on YouTube real teens.
I mean, young teens never seen Elvis for in their life and then one of those reaction videos
go on YouTube and put in epic and see what comes out.
These kids are going, first of all, they go like, wow, he's so cool and the clothes.
But I think what it is is Elvis actually was a uniter and he has an energy on stage.
You know, he didn't choreograph.
You know, he created his, he orchestrated with by singing.
He brought everyone together and I think he just has this incredible, unifying energy
that everyone can just, I mean, in a way, it's, it's beyond understanding because he's
that unique.
You know, he just a fixed one, one of one, one of one.
Wow.
Just a great story.
Baz Lerman is fixated with Elvis Presley.
It's his second film.
This is the unlikely film about Elvis because he found those reels at a salt, a salt mine
basically salt caves in Hutchinson, Kansas, pretty cool stuff.
The movie is called Epic.
It's in theaters right now.
Elvis Presley in concert Buffalo Wild Wings has grossed me out.
I don't mean I went there and got grossed out.
I've been to Buffalo Wild Wings.
There was a time when I was much younger when we went to cover spring training in surprise
Arizona.
Buffalo Wild Wings was the only place you could go watch a college basketball game.
Think of it.
I'm there every year.
I'm covering spring training.
Sometimes they're, I'm there for two weeks at a time.
A UK state Missouri all have games.
We couldn't get them at the house we had.
There weren't just a lot of great.
They were on satellite back in those days.
You had to tune it into a satellite and get this channel, whatever.
And so when they opened Buffalo, they had a place called the Brookseider.
And yeah, the Brookseid, Brookseid 2 is what it was called in surprise.
I think it's still there.
Half of it was horse betting.
The other half was sports bar, but they didn't have any games.
It was like, they just had the local games.
You can watch the sun's game or something like that.
This is like 20 some years ago.
Then they opened a Buffalo Wild Wings and we were very excited for that.
And I thought Buffalo Wild Wings was pretty cool.
The hamburger was all right.
Cheese dip was good.
The beer was cold as far as I was okay.
I really don't like Buffalo Wild Wings that much anymore.
Maybe you just get older.
Your taste changed.
I'm not really sure.
I don't hate it.
I'll go there if I need to see a game.
I'm all for Buffalo Wild Wings.
The beer's cold.
It's cheap.
I'm good.
Great.
The game's on.
Swing in.
Watch the end of a football game.
It's all good.
I don't like Buffalo Wings.
I would eat barbecue wings.
There's a lot of flavors of wings that I would like.
I don't like the Buffalo sauce.
Okay.
I don't like Buffalo Wings, but I respect their place
because it doesn't stink like Buffalo Wings.
I think Buffalo Wings stink.
Most people think they're just awesome.
Apparently because Buffalo Wild Wings has offered up right now
for a limited time.
The Buffalo Wing protein infused espresso martini.
Just stop.
Look, Jessica likes Buffalo Wings.
She likes protein.
And she loves espresso martinis.
She will not be trying a combination of the three.
Neither will I.
Who's going to try that?
Quiet minds need to know who's going to try that.

Our final final today is a man named Jimmy Rush.
It was his birthday.
And he was going to celebrate with his dad.
And he'd been planning it for years.
They were going to go to Winsel's oyster house.
For his birthday, 60 family members
had talked about this for a long, long time.
Special birthday for Jimmy.
Dad's going to go, we're all going to Winsel's oyster house
in Alabama.
And they did.
Many family members say they waited 50 years for this day.
From when Jimmy was just 10 years old.
Amazingly, I'm sorry, I got that wrong.
When Jimmy was just 30 years old,
as a grown man talking with his dad,
they began planning this birthday at the oyster house.
Because the oyster house since 1930
is at a sign out front that said free oysters
to anyone 80 years or older with their dad.
Jimmy Rush turned 80.
His dad is 99.
And the two of them plowed down on free oysters.
It doesn't happen very often at Winsel's.
But I don't know why they started this in 1930,
almost 100 years ago, the offer.
If you come in and you're 80 or older
and you bring your dad,
the oysters for both of you are free.
Not on your birthday, just I guess anytime.
So they can go back as long as dad stays alive.
They can go back and eat all the oysters they want.
I'm not sure how many, I need more information.
I need to know how many customers there were through the years.
How many people actually accomplished that?
How incredibly rare would that be for a father and son
to both be 80 and older?
Congratulations to Jimmy Rush and his dad.
His brother was there, his brothers in his 70s.
If dad lives another three or four years,
they can run this thing back with pops.
That is awesome stuff.
