We start with the Kentucky Derby, because it’s Derby weekend and there’s actually a lot to sort through. Racing analyst Patrick Mahar joins to break down the field, the draw, and what matters if you’re looking at it from a betting angle or just trying to sound smart at a party. Then we bring it back to Springfield, Dwight Glenn talks Ozark Mountain Daredevils, the Route 66 show, and why this place still shows up in their music. Travis Bell also checks in with a straightforward look at home buying and refinancing right now, and what people are getting wrong.

On the baseball side, the Cardinals are an interesting case. The offense has been aggressive, sometimes to their benefit, sometimes not, and the bullpen still feels like a question mark. The Springfield Cardinals are also hitting a skid after a strong start, which brings up that constant minor league balance, are you developing guys or chasing wins? We also get into the Royals’ slow pace out of the gate and the bigger MLB trend of managers already feeling heat before May really gets going.
