Bear McCreary for Scottish music. The Scots distrust the Irish as sneaky drunken sods, but they dislike the Brits even more. We were thrilled when the DNA test from ancestry.com revealed that our son-in-law was NOT Irish. 9:48 AM

The big difference between Obama and Trump narcissism is that Trump has the real accomplishments to back it. Obama was an absentee state legislator, a one term empty suit US Senator and a President whose modest accomplishments are being unraveled to a footnote in US history. 9:26 AM

Everybody seems to not recognize that ever since Trump's tweet on the wiretap the focus on Session and Russia has been forgotten. 9:43 AM

Colorado Springs, CO

3/17/17 9:41 AM

If Obama were inclined to "wire tap" Trump, do you really think he would do it through legal channels? 9:41 AM

Colorado Springs, CO

3/17/17 9:34 AM

Trump's narcissism is based on accomplishments. Obama's is rooted in his presumed moral superiority. 9:34 AM

Crestview, FL

3/17/17 9:32 AM 

Good morning and happy St. Patrick's Day Richard. Worst president and most narcissistic award goes to Barack Hussein Obama because he doubled our deficit leaving us at a higher national security risk and a mess for our kids to deal with. There is no escaping that! A close second would be Woodrow Wilson. Best Irish music… Pleasant and Delightful by Kick up the Dust. Cheers, Andrea from Monument. 9:32 AM

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_and_Nationality_Act_of_1952 10:07 AM

Richard I was listening to your show when the caller , called in about a immigration law, I believe it's the mcaran walter act of 1952. Why does trump even a knowledge these judges rulings if it potentially opens the door to Americans being becoming targets, I don't understand this. My job is to neutralize the threats of the enemy, not have a open door policy for them. Liberalism is our true threat in this case. 10:23 AM

3/16/17 9:38 AM

Carol here. Remember when some liberal reporter said on t.v. that Obama had to step down lower to be the president. I didn't know you stepped down from nothing. PRESIDENT TRUMP stepped down and he and we just keep winning. Luv it. 9:38 AM

If trump said the moon was made of green cheese would you believe him? Conservatives are just as pathetic as liberals. 9:34 AM

Colorado Springs, CO

3/16/17 9:33 AM

Hi Richard, I'm a daily listener. Ms Carnot? doesn't disclose in her KVOR ads that she doesn't live in the Springs. If I buy a pack of gum in Denver I'm entitled to my opinion but that's all. Also the difference is that we all live in and pay taxes to El Paso County. She may pay a few $ taxes to Colo Spgs (notice she excluded big ticket items) but that's different than being a resident. Listener Dave and 2 dogs. Take care! 9:33 AM

Colorado Springs, CO

3/16/17 9:16 AM

I missed the first part of your program. Working. Did your guest address the false statement that the City employee medical clinic is free? 9:16 AM

Colorado Springs, CO

3/16/17 9:14 AM

If Laura wants to run the city she should run for city council ..Falcon Dave 9:14 AM

Colorado Springs, CO

3/16/17 9:07 AM

Richard/The mayor is no longer a fair person and uses his office to bully people. His office costs nearly double what the city manager office used to cost. The costs are hidden in other budgets. We were sold that the strong mayor would reduce costs. He has become power mad and people are afraid to say anything because he will use office against as he did with keith king on the museum. You cant call it leadership when he spends money like it was his. 9:07 AM

Colorado Springs, CO

3/16/17 9:03 AM

Richard are you going to attend the Sen Bennet town hall happening today at the Tesla education center from 11:30 to 12:30? 9:03 AM

3/15/17 10:01 AM

Without AMT Trump would have only paid 4 million tax...Falcon Dave 9:27 AM

And nothing paid in taxes. zero, zip, none, nada.....yet you bitch about someone else paying $38 million in taxes. Hypocrite. 10:00 AM

What about Sheryl Atkinson! 9:54 AM

Colorado Springs, CO

3/15/17 9:49 AM

I can hardly wait to hear Rudy's situational ethics comment. 8:46 AM

Communist always say prove your innocence vs presumed innocent as in Constitution. 8:54 AM

No law to require tax release. It started to show elected officials where not getting rich on the job. Trump was never an elected official. 8:58 AM

Hypocrisy is a badge of honor for liberals. 9:49 AM

Colorado Springs, CO

3/15/17 9:37 AM

Justice department did not tap journalists phone. It requested phone records, and in Rosen's case, they traced it. Big difference between tapping, tracing and requesting records. (And that's really classy, asking if Maddow is a guy.) 9:37 AM

Colorado Springs, CO

3/15/17 9:33 AM

There is an ad running on your station that is falsely accusing the Mayor of providing a free employee medical clinic. First of all, the medical clinic has been in place since before we had a strong mayor. Second, it's fact that there is a copay and the clinic bills our insurance plan just like a regular doctor. Most of us have to use a plan that has a $1500 deductible. Please correct this false ad or ask to pull it because her website shows you support her. City employees have taken many hits on our benefits since 2008 and we don't need false stories creating more bad feelings with the public we serve. 8:27 AM

And thank you for listening to what I have to say. 9:24 AM

Colorado Springs, CO

3/15/17 9:14 AM

Perhaps this a way to find one of several leaks 9:08 AM

3/14/17 9:40 AM

Richard, can you ask Congressman Lamborn if congress is going to pass a 2A rights bill to override any individual state attacks against the 2A? 9:40 AM

Colorado Springs, CO

3/14/17 9:22 AM

Dear Congressman Lamborn: 1 please tell POTUS be much more careful with tweets. 2 ensure that it starts with a repeal. 3 the replace should be very light, very simple, rely on capitalism & competition. 9:22 AM

Colorado Springs, CO

3/14/17 9:16 AM

I am concerned about the possibility of cutting funds to the Coast Guard. If we build a wall, won't the illegals resort to coming in by water? A cut would seem counterintuitive. Please comment. Liz 9:16 AM

Colorado Springs, CO

3/14/17 9:00 AM

Ask Rep Lamborn why they did not work on a healthcare plan and have it ready on day one? 8:52 AM

Ask Lamborn why he touted all of his repeal votes while Obama was Pres, but has been silent since Trump was sworn in? Safe show votes only because he knew that they would fail? 8:53 AM

Congressman, can I just buy a plan to only cover catastrophic care if I choose? If so, where can I buy one? 8:56 AM

Congressman, would you vote against Ryan and Pres Trump on healthcare if the people in the district desire it? 9:00 AM

CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN GRAD CANYON BARRY STARS AT FLORIDA IN NCAA

Canyon Barry and the Gators open NCAA Tournament play Thursday in Orlando against East Tennessee State.

LYNN BARRY - The other amazing athlete who raised Florida's Canyon Barry

GAINESVILLE — The story is as old as higher education and detergent.

Two parents doing their college kid's laundry.

It doesn't matter that you've hit the genetic Powerball with your only child, that he's a 23-year-old basketball star for the NCAA Tournament-bound University of Florida, that he's a 6-foot-6 swingman with a scoring touch. That he's a brain, too, carrying a perfect 4.0 GPA in pursuit of a graduate degree in nuclear engineering.

The wash still needs to get done.

Meet Canyon Barry. An amazing young man.

Meet his parents — a pair of conquerors if ever there were.

"I taught him to do laundry," Lynn Barry said. "But this kid is so busy between basketball and class and tests. He has a midterm Thursday. He has a game Wednesday. So, he's scrambling a little bit."

Canyon Barry is the son of a basketball legend

The legend is married to Canyon's father, Rick Barry.

Rick also was good at basketball. Most of you know his story. Hall of Fame. One of the great scorers of all time. Canyon wears No. 24 to honor his father. He shoots his free throws underhanded, and very well, like his dad, "granny style," though probably as much in the name of physics as his father. Canyon is wicked smart.

"The majority of Canyon is from his mother," Rick Barry said. "It's 90-10, and lucky for him it is."

True story: While Lynn and Rick were dating 30 years ago, Lynn's mother, Arlene, came across a newspaper clipping in one of Lynn's scrapbooks from her spectacular prep career in: St. Petersburg. She sent it to Lynn, who remembers one sentence by heart.

"She is the most ballyhooed blonde basketball player in the state of Florida since Rick Barry at the University of Miami."

Five years later, she ends up marrying the guy.

"How bizarre is that?" Lynn said.

Florida guard Canyon Barry (24) shoots against Charlotte in the first half in an NCAA college basketball game in the Orange Bowl Classic tournament, Saturday, Dec. 17, 2016, in Sunrise, Fla. Barry is the son of former NBA great Rick Barry.

Self confidence, doubled-down

Lynn and Rick Barry sat in their condominium a few miles from Florida's campus. They've been renting it to follow their son's final season of college basketball. They'll soon head home to Colorado Springs, where Canyon was raised. Rick is still all over the place, traveling, speaking, promoting. All those years later and he's shooting underhand foul shots in an insurance TV spot. He's still working it. That's him. They rented a place in South Carolina when Canyon played for the College of Charleston.

Canyon averages 12.1 points for the Gators coming off the bench, with an .878 free-throw percentage. He made a school-record 42 consecutive free throws at one point. Barry was recently voted SEC Sixth Man of the Year.

"He's a remarkable kid," Florida coach Mike White said. "He's uniquely talented — and he's on track to be a nuclear engineer. Pretty good combination. I think it takes, especially in 2017, when you're the only one in the world doing something like underhand free throws, it takes a strong individual, a thick-skinned kid, a kid with a lot of maturity. And that's Canyon."

Florida guard Canyon Barry (24) goes old school with his underhand free throws, just like his Hall of Fame father.

Lynn and Rick's Canyon.

"Some people could consider it a burden," Canyon said. "I view it as a blessing, having such a wealth of basketball knowledge around me."

Maybe it's no coincidence that Canyon, the youngest of Rick Barry's five basketball playing sons, has stuck with underhand foul shots the longest, since he was a junior in high school. Maybe it's because the other Barry sons — Scooter, Jon, Brent and Drew — were too close to their driven father's playing days.

Rick said, "Scooter wasn't bad, but he said, 'Dad, it's hard enough being your son without shooting underhand free throws.' I think it was much harder for them than it is for Canyon, because I was far enough removed from my career."

But it also goes back to Canyon's environment, Rick plus Lynn — self-confidence doubled down, a conqueror's will, no matter how many people think it looks funny at the foul line.

"Personally, I don't care what people think because of the results," Canyon said. "They can make fun of me. I don't know why other people, people in the NBA, don't switch. People are willing to shoot 50, 55 percent from the line. Crazy."

Even his father couldn't have put it better. Louder maybe, but not better.

Classroom update: Canyon was recently was named to the sports information directors Academic All-American first team for the second time in his college career. He was first team at Charleston, too, where he had a 4.0 GPA as a physics major. Canyon and Lynn, as far as they can tell, are the first mother and son to be first team Academic All-Americans. Now they're two-time first teamers.

"Barry family trivia," Lynn said.

Canyon Barry's mother, known then as Lynn Norenberg (11), was a trailblazer at Lakewood High School in the 1970s, playing the first season of girls high school basketball in Pinellas County.

'Miss Healthy Smile'

Lynn Barry, the former Lynn Norenberg, was a trailblazer.

Forty years ago, she was a scoring sensation as a 5-8 guard for Lakewood High School, her ponytail bobbing as she ran the court in her low-top black Chuck Taylors, driving in for another score.

She was born in Tampa and spent her childhood in St. Petersburg, but her family moved to Hawaii, then North Carolina as her father, Richard, a doctor, underwent more residencies. She returned to Pinellas County as a high school sophomore, in time for the very first season of girls high school basketball in the county.

She averaged 30.1 points as a junior and 28.2 points as a senior. The late great St. Petersburg Evening Independent named her the area's top amateur athlete of 1976. The hand-carved wooden statue carved in her honor, ponytail and all, still resides in her parents' home in St. Pete Beach.

Lynn Norenberg just had to be all-county in three sports. And a straight-A student. And a prom queen. And she played French horn and sang in the show choir. She was selected Junior Sun Goddess in the Festival of States Parade. A Pinellas County dental association even voted her "Miss Healthy Smile."

At the College of William & Mary, she scored 1,500 points in just 82 games and had a 3.97 GPA as a kinesiology major. The school retired Lynn's No. 22 basketball jersey in 2002. And she was homecoming queen. She earned a master's in athletic administration at Kentucky (4.0) and was a women's basketball assistant. After a stint as an enforcement agent for the NCAA, she was assistant executive director for USA women's basketball for 12 years.

Rick Barry, shown here in a 1974 game against Dave DeBusschere (22) and the New York Knicks, led the Golden State Warriors to the 1975 NBA title.

And in 1986, while preparing for the Goodwill Games in Moscow, she met Rick Barry. He was doing TV for Turner Sports.

They played tennis in Moscow. They competed. It's what they do.

"If you hit a weak serve, she would kill it — kill it," Rick said.

Lynn was reluctant at first. There was the age difference — Rick was 15 years older. And he was going through his second divorce. He had five children from his first marriage. Lynn knew Rick Barry was a Hall of Famer. He also made enemies chasing perfection over the years. He was demanding, opinionated, brash.

"He had baggage," Lynn said.

"Oh, I had baggage," Rick said. "Over the limit."

They dated five years before marrying in 1991. They celebrated their 25th anniversary last year.

"She has made me a better person," Rick said.

Canyon Barry is one of Basketball Hall of Famer Rick Barry's six children, and the fifth basketball-playing son.

Florida senior guard Canyon Barry, left, credits his mother Lynn, right, with helping him become a well-rounded person and an Academic All-American.

A grand Canyon

Here's how Canyon got his name: Lynn and Rick were rafting on the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon, a family trip organized by her parents. Along the way, Lynn told Rick she thought was pregnant.

"I said if I'm pregnant, let's call the kid Canyon," Lynn said. "We kind of laughed. But we never found a name we liked better. It's a good Colorado name, too."

"My mom kind of gets overlooked a lot because of the career my dad had," Canyon said. "But, when I was growing up, she was instrumental in my development. My dad kind of took over when I was older. But at a young age, she was the one who really worked with me on fundamentals, a lot of ball-handling drills, cone drills, working with me every summer, shooting with me."

Florida guard Canyon Barry is shown here with his mother Lynn and father, Basketball Hall of Famer Rick Barry, on a safari.

Canyon Barry earned straight A's at Cheyenne Mountain High School. He was also a state champion in doubles tennis and badminton. He played volleyball and was on Cheyenne's state champion track and field team. He was class valedictorian. He was an Eagle Scout. Lynn reeled off some of the instruments Canyon taught himself to play: euphonium, recorder, keyboard, trombone, guitar, harmonica, dulcimer, rababa.

"A lot of that was my mom, wanting me to be more rounded," Canyon said. "My parents let me try everything. They never forced basketball on me. I think from my mom I get that well-roundedness, and the academic piece, being an academic All-American. That side, her family with all the doctors. Then my dad with that competitiveness, trying to do the best you can do."

Canyon is wicked smart. When not mastering neutron multiplicity and radiation detection, he can solve a Rubik's Cube in less than a minute. In seconds flat, really.

"He tells me it's just an algorithm," Rick said, shaking his head. "Just an algorithm."

"Canyon taught me to do it," Lynn said. She found a Rubik's Cube in the condo and started fiddling. "But I can't do it as fast."

Basketball Hall of Famer Rick Barry and his wife Lynn moved to Gainesville to be a part of their son Canyon Barry's senior year with the Florida Gators, who open NCAA Tournament play Thursday in Orlando against East Tennessee State.

Rick sees great things for his youngest son.

"I'm telling you right now: Canyon Barry could be a find for an NBA team, a hidden gem."

Rick said no one in the NBA ever listened to him about his other sons, successful as they were. His voice rose.

"Be nice," his wife said.

Lynn the lion tamer.

So much back and forth. It's as if they never stopped playing tennis.

Rick said, "Sometimes I feel like Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men — you can't handle the truth!"

"You just have to work on a nicer tone," Lynn said.

Rick grinned at her.

At Florida's fall commencement inside the basketball arena, Dr. Kent Fuchs, the university president, held up Canyon as a positive example for the graduates. Fuchs pointed out Canyon's underhand free throw style, doing something outside the box, following his own path and sticking with it.

"Three months and he's in a commencement speech," Lynn said at lunch. "Who gets that? He's amazing."

A few hours later, Lynn Barry sent a text.

It included a photo — just her hand, holding a solved Rubik's Cube.

Thanks again for lunch! And just so you know I can do it. Haha.

She added a grinning emoji.

Miss Healthy Smile.

*** note: full disclosure - in the past Lynn Barry has given my daughter group and private basketball lessons.  She is a great coach and female role model.  And I think, as this article from the Tampa Bay Times show, a great mother and wife.

Richie...you have said so many things that are either half-truths or just plain lies between 9:05 and 9:20 it's difficult to keep track. Do you even care about bring accurate? Falcon Dave 9:27 AM

 (1/2) Women want to be taken seriously and treated equally, so on the days they march, they focus on their body parts and "don't go shopping." Sound 9:46 AM

 (2/2) stereotypical to me. I hate to tell these women, but they can all be replaced in their jobs. They should show their true value! Yes, I am a women. 9:46 AM

 There's no way I could not show up to work on the "day without a woman" because I'm a stay at home mom and my poor 2yrb old would be on survival mode lol. I think its so easy for these women to selfishly act as if the world revolves around them and down playing the role of a man in our world but I think it's probably because how badly the importance of and the value of and the need for a traditional family had been downplayed within the last decade or so. How selfish would it be of me to not show up to work knowing my baby needs me and my husband is working hard to put food on our table and a roof over our head regardless of whether or not I feel that i recieve the appreciation I deserve. I wonder what these feminists responses would be to the result of what a true day with out a man would be! My husband is my partner and we both need each other equally just in different ways. 9:06 AM

Hi Richard. I listen daily. Of course women are important.How about a day without MEN? The world would grind to a halt. Thanks, listener Dave (and 2 dogs) 9:00 AM

Richard. American women need to count their blessings of human dignity given to them by the Judeo-Christian Kingdom & fight against the curses of communism & Sharia Law. The main reason left wing men support left wing perversion, is because it threatens their sexual mores ( Kinsey & Darwin ). 8:57

Richard, why does Springs Utilities advertise? They are a monopoly. If I hear another "That's How We're All Connected" commercial, I will go crazy! I think it is a waste of public funds! 10:00 AM

My name is Nick 9:50 AM

Richard, I have been trying to get ahold on phone. This question is about storm water. Why don't we try to make a state lake out east with the storm water but having a facility to clean up the water. But the people of spring will benefit as well as having people spend money for recreation. It gets old having to drive an hour or more to fish. Thanks 9:53 AM

The people could pay a portion of it by paying a fee, like other state lakes or parks 9:54 AM

The city screwed up Research. When are they going to fix it? 9:43 AM

Colorado Springs, CO

3/8/17 9:30 AM

I would like to know how come there isn't an ordinance set up that fines drivers from making those transactions from vehicle to pedestrians. If you want to give someone money you should have to park your car and get out to hand someone anything. 9:30 AM

My name is Ann on the homeless issue - I ride my bike a lot in the summer. To get to the Pikes Peak trail i often need to go through the park off Bijou 9:27 AM

And i am very uncomfortable doing so most early mornings and avoid it if I can. I hate that I pay the taxes for that space but am forced away so these non tax payers monopolize it 9:29 AM

Mayor Suthers is there anything that can be done? 9:29 AM

Cannot hear the Mayor on the radio voice is to distant 9:28 AM

Colorado Springs, CO

3/8/17 9:10 AM

Richard/Tom. A recent police article identifies corruption and lack of transparency in city is an issue. The mayor does not require management to follow his own Policy manual. His office costs twice what city manager used to cost and we were sold a bill of goods that it would save us money. He needs to drain his swamp and man up. We want him to be great for all of us. 9:10 AM

Good morning Richard. Her is a ? for all the your deceived traditional Democrat listeners. Would you be better off living under Communism & / or Shariah Law.

You are dead wrong on this one ..The Flynn phone call was tapped from the other end. Letterman is joking..Conservatives are so dense they don't know s joke when they here one ..Falcon Dave 9:03 AM

Colorado Springs, CO

3/7/17 9:03 AM

You are seeing a bunch of people going into CYA mode, starting with the liberal media who started this with their reporting of wire taps and FISA warrents. 8:54 AM

So happy Letterman and others are anti gun. 8:58 AM

Fed laws require Flynn part of conversation be redacted if he was not the subject of wiretap. Privacy provisions in the law. 9:03 AM

Richard, If the liberals are denying that Obama had surveillance on President Trump, where do they think the information came out on General Flynn 8:58 AM

Hello Richard, I am reaching out to see what you know about the status of 2C and our roads? I am unhappy with the speed of repair around town. Some roads are downright awful. Take Pikes Peak Ave just north of memorial park as an example. Thanks for keeping us informed. 2:47 PM

Colorado Springs, CO

3/6/17 10:02 AM

Richard, Mark Levin laid out a perfect case against the Obama administration on tapping Trump Towers. He quotes the British and U.S. Papers. It's beautiful to see becos mr Levin has worked in the White House chief of staff to AG Meese. 10:02 AM

Colorado Springs, CO

3/6/17 9:49 AM

Carol here. I have to wonder how many people are in the Obama CULT that are living in the W.H. 8:42 AM

Carol again. I sent that congressman a tweet and told him he was a racist pig. No reply. 9:26 AM

Carol again. Please give his name. Cedric Richmond. 9:49 AM

Hi Richard, Just heard that President Trump just signed the new Travel Ban. 9:44 AM

Colorado Springs, CO

3/6/17 9:38 AM

We are only guessing at this time because some are saying no proof others saying very possible and said won't be made public. My concern is that indeed there was wire tapping and the truth will once again be covered up. Evety day I loose alittle more expectancy from the republicans in office. 9:19 AM

Why is it that there will be investigations into only what serves the liberals and not necessary when it is convenient to their agenda. The republicans will never be in a better position then they are now. If it happened then get it out and deal with it with the power they have. Why keep playing around being on the big D and reactive to the left. We are loosing fast again with what ever in the world kerps the republicans just standing back. Just mind boggling or is it. We the people have to fight fight fight. No rest for the weary. 9:30 AM

We are in a war in this country. How will it be won and who will be the winner. Having Trump elected has only made the horrible truth of washington more in the open but any easier to win. 9:37 AM

Geez my husband and I are trying to decide if we are paying the Obama Care fine this year. Are we stupid to pay it or stupid to not. The million dollar question for us right now. 9:38 AM

Richard, I don't put anything past any politician! The corruption runs deep on both sides. That's why the term limits convention is so important. Please tell your listeners about Thursday, March 9 on the steps of the State Capitol to put term limits on Congress and stop a lot of Washington corruption! 9:35 AM

Btw this is Andrea from Monument. 9:37 AM

Fast and Furious, Benghazi, Tea party attacked by IRS, 300,000 spent to defeat Bebe in Israel, allowing PP to sell baby body parts, Iran nuke deal, and lots more! I have no doubt at all Obama wire tapped Pres Trump! 9:35 AM

3/6/17 9:34 AM

Certainly wire taps would be in 1st chapter of "Chicago Politics 101!" 9:34 AM

Arvada, CO

3/6/17 9:30 AM

This wiretapping issue will either show 1) the fake news of the NYT and other liberal rags, 2) the truth of the wiretapping and the administration hiding behind the legitimate purposes of it. Where they will get caught is why and how did Hillary find out about it. As evidenced by her email revealed by Wikileaks. 9:30 AM

Colorado Springs, CO

3/6/17 9:27 AM

Obama as head of Executive Branch is responsible for what goes on and what he does not try to stop. Just like companies being sued and fined for what employees do. 9:00 AM

Obama put people in positions that will do these things without having to be told. Plausable denyability. 9:27 AM

Colorado Springs, CO

3/6/17 9:00 AM

Richard, at first I thought that your intelligence was slipping. After listening to you for the past ten minutes I have to rethink that,,, it must be completely gone. You really believe t b with orange fool in the white house when he claims PRESIDENT Obama had his hotel tapped? What else can this buffoon come up with? No proof or evidence what so ever, just a smoke screen to take attention away from his underhanded dealings as he pushes forward with his pathetic attempt at fascism. 9:00 AM

Richard. Regarding corruption and lack of transparency in city, I have been telling you that the mayors office is not handling employee matters honestly because he does not require management to follow his own Policy manual. Destroys lives of some good employees. He needs to drain his swamp and man up. 8:45 AM

Found out this morning that the Board of Water Works in Pueblo raised their sewer rates by 13% for 2017! Utility companies are killing the poor people of Pueblo. How do we get them to stop? 8:25 AM

Costs twice as much to get rid of it as it does to use it! 8:29 AM
