00:00:29,400 –> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: you’re long. We’ve mentioned three sixty vodka, the official vodka

7
00:00:32,880 –> 00:00:34,879
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs. Mitch holds with you along with

8
00:00:34,920 –> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 1: BJ Kissel, Chiefs reporter, and we’ve changed our venue. Man.

9
00:00:39,200 –> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 1: People are starting to stop watching this matter. That’s all

10
00:00:41,640 –> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: these beautiful places. I heard Liberal Kansas is gonna have

11
00:00:43,640 –> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: thirteen inches of snow. I’m sorry to be safe, but yeah,

12
00:00:47,080 –> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: here we are. We’re a little further north, about forty

13
00:00:49,040 –> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 1: five minutes north where we were yesterday on the beach.

14
00:00:51,920 –> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: And by the way, Bj, you talked me in to

15
00:00:54,040 –> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: come with going down to the beach yesterday and then

16
00:00:55,920 –> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: a seven point seven Richter scale earthquake in the Caribbean.

17
00:00:59,120 –> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: But yeah, that the ocean was calm yesterday. Yeah, and

18
00:01:02,640 –> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: it didn’t stop people from going to the bus because

19
00:01:04,600 –> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: we had a live studio audience. But you couldn’t see him.

20
00:01:06,959 –> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: You see the people in the water behind us, but

21
00:01:09,319 –> 00:01:10,919
Speaker 1: in front of us, there are whole bunch of people

22
00:01:11,240 –> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: that we were making Chiefs fans. Chiefs Kingdom got a

23
00:01:13,800 –> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 1: little bit bigger yesterday. It sure did, and it continues

24
00:01:16,440 –> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: to grow and grow and grow and grow. And that

25
00:01:18,600 –> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: is the focus of this podcast, in this issue of

26
00:01:21,720 –> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: defending the Kingdom, because we’re entitling this what winning Super

27
00:01:25,880 –> 00:01:31,199
Speaker 1: Bowl fifty four could accelerate the Kansas City Chiefs brand,

28
00:01:31,520 –> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 1: the franchise and the Chief’s Kingdom is in unchartered waters

29
00:01:36,360 –> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: to give the ocean analogy, and these are good waters.

30
00:01:39,400 –> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: But it’s gonna start with what we’re gonna start today,

31
00:01:42,240 –> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 1: our first quarter of what’s already happened on the field,

32
00:01:45,120 –> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: and it really starts with Patrick Mahomes, his performance so

33
00:01:48,520 –> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: far in two seasons, and then his uncanny appeal. He

34
00:01:52,760 –> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: has got an international appeal. Yeah. I think the way

35
00:01:55,960 –> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: that he started his career and having one of the

36
00:01:58,680 –> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: best seasons and it’s been talked about so much, but

37
00:02:00,760 –> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: having one of the best seasons for a quarterback in

38
00:02:02,560 –> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: NFL history at twenty three years old kind of took

39
00:02:04,920 –> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: the NFL by storm. I feel like if you would

40
00:02:06,400 –> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: have flip flopped his two seasons it would have been

41
00:02:08,480 –> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: a little bit different, but the fact that he was

42
00:02:10,080 –> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: so good, so quick, and he was so humble and likable.

43
00:02:13,520 –> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: He’s active on social media, he gets it and he

44
00:02:16,440 –> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 1: just he talks about his teammates, and whether he’s in

45
00:02:18,639 –> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: front of the mic or behind it, when we see

46
00:02:20,520 –> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: him walking around, he’s the same guy. And I think

47
00:02:23,200 –> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: the most satisfying and gratifying thing, and we’ve talked about

48
00:02:26,160 –> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 1: this a lot off air, is that he’s the same

49
00:02:28,960 –> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 1: guy this year that he was last year, and the

50
00:02:31,680 –> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: same guy that he was a couple of years ago.

51
00:02:33,160 –> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 1: And I remember being on Radio Row in Houston interviewing him,

52
00:02:36,320 –> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: and that he was the same guy back then, and

53
00:02:37,919 –> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: the way that he answered questions and the way that

54
00:02:39,440 –> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: he carried himself, in the way that he was just

55
00:02:41,240 –> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: gracious and please and thank you to all the other

56
00:02:43,720 –> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: people around him. It’s one of those things you expect

57
00:02:46,040 –> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: from people, but it’s just that much nicer when you

58
00:02:48,760 –> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 1: see it, especially from a guy who’s, you know, the

59
00:02:50,960 –> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: face of the NFL right now. I think the point

60
00:02:53,240 –> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 1: you make, it’s an excellent point, was to do this

61
00:02:55,960 –> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: in the sequence in which he did it, meaning the

62
00:02:58,160 –> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: five thousand yards in fifty touch downs, but all of

63
00:03:01,720 –> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: the doubt throughout the offseason. In fact, we addressed it

64
00:03:04,040 –> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: in a way back in the spring on defending the Kingdom,

65
00:03:07,720 –> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: was what’s he do for an encore? Because the pundits

66
00:03:10,600 –> 00:03:12,679
Speaker 1: around the league said, oh, but what’s he gonna do

67
00:03:12,720 –> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: when he doesn’t throw it for five thousand yards and

68
00:03:14,560 –> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: fifty touchdowns? What’s he going to do when it gets

69
00:03:16,880 –> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: really tough. That’s where this year comes into play. And

70
00:03:20,520 –> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: to me, it’s my favorite year of the two because

71
00:03:23,160 –> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: we’ve said it before. You mentioned it numerous times and

72
00:03:25,480 –> 00:03:28,119
Speaker 1: so have I. Where he was able to win games

73
00:03:28,160 –> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: throwing for one hundred and eighty five yards wind tunnel

74
00:03:32,240 –> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: snow ice, no matter the circumstance, tough schedule, injury, missing

75
00:03:37,120 –> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: two and a half games, he proved to the rest

76
00:03:40,000 –> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: of the NFL that, oh, no, he can do it

77
00:03:42,760 –> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: in those circumstances too. Yeah. And I think everyone has

78
00:03:46,800 –> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: seen the plays on the field. They know the games

79
00:03:49,280 –> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: that we’re talking about, the key plays that were made

80
00:03:50,920 –> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: in those games. But I think and one of the

81
00:03:53,320 –> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: great things about our podcast network because we get to

82
00:03:55,240 –> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: provide kind of the behind the scenes and add a

83
00:03:57,000 –> 00:04:00,119
Speaker 1: little bit of perspective. I know, passing professionals in perspectives

84
00:04:00,200 –> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: your deal and I think one of the great things

85
00:04:02,240 –> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: about it. And I can specifically remember different games where

86
00:04:05,880 –> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: he would have go out and throw for four hundred

87
00:04:07,520 –> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: yards and three touchdowns and we lose the game, and

88
00:04:09,480 –> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: he wasn’t happy after the game. And that’s not always

89
00:04:11,600 –> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: the case with guys. Guys go out and play really

90
00:04:13,160 –> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: well and the team ends up losing, you still kind

91
00:04:15,280 –> 00:04:17,919
Speaker 1: of see them being pretty happy about themselves. But on

92
00:04:17,960 –> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 1: the flip side, he goes out and throws one hundred

93
00:04:19,720 –> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: and fifty yards two interceptions, but rushes one touchdown and

94
00:04:22,520 –> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: makes a couple of key plays. He’s happy after the game.

95
00:04:24,800 –> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: He doesn’t care about the stats. And he’s mentioned it

96
00:04:27,480 –> 00:04:29,119
Speaker 1: at Texas Tech. He put up a lot of stats,

97
00:04:29,120 –> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: didn’t win a lot of games, and the stats didn’t

98
00:04:30,960 –> 00:04:33,679
Speaker 1: get him much. But you know, a footnote, little nuggets

99
00:04:33,680 –> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 1: for media he hughes when they’re talking about him. But

100
00:04:36,080 –> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: the fact that he goes out there and makes plays

101
00:04:37,560 –> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 1: and doesn’t care what the stats are at the end

102
00:04:39,839 –> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 1: of the day, as long as he wins the football game.

103
00:04:41,320 –> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: And Lucue we are right now, Yeah, in twenty seven wins,

104
00:04:44,240 –> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 1: by the way, in two years for him, including three

105
00:04:46,760 –> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: postseason wins with a franchise that won one postseason game

106
00:04:50,520 –> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 1: in twenty two seasons. Here’s another interesting thought, Greg Pops

107
00:04:55,880 –> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: my counterpart. Now he’s in San Francisco. For years he

108
00:04:58,600 –> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: was the Oakland Raiders play by play guy, the touchdown

109
00:05:00,880 –> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 1: three eighters, and now he’s doing Seeing Francisco. But he

110
00:05:04,880 –> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: has a calling show, does a sports show in San Francisco.

111
00:05:07,960 –> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: It was before the eighteen season and he was asking

112
00:05:11,160 –> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: about Patrick Mahomes. This is just before he became Patrick Mahomes,

113
00:05:15,000 –> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 1: and he said, who does remind you of? And I

114
00:05:16,600 –> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: said Steph Curry. And I could hear all of the

115
00:05:19,080 –> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: laughing in the background. You know how producers are, Oh,

116
00:05:22,360 –> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: what an idiot this guy is? Meaning me After the

117
00:05:27,080 –> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 1: year they had me back on and they go, oh,

118
00:05:28,880 –> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: my gosh, he’s Steph Curry. But I think that’s part

119
00:05:31,400 –> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: of the appeal with him is he is so unique.

120
00:05:35,520 –> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: Steph Curry has this worldwide appeal, and so does Mahomes. Yeah,

121
00:05:39,360 –> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: I think, And you see the worldwide appeal very quickly

122
00:05:42,760 –> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 1: with the State Farm commercials with Aaron Rodgers and all

123
00:05:45,720 –> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: the other stuff that he’s done. The Mad commercial. We

124
00:05:47,640 –> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: like throws the thing and like no, look, pass over

125
00:05:49,800 –> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: to the side. I just think it’s been the perfect

126
00:05:51,760 –> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: whirlwind storm, and it’s it’s crazy for Chiefs fans because

127
00:05:54,400 –> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 1: you know, we waited so long for that first round quarterback,

128
00:05:56,520 –> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: for our guy and all those things that we used

129
00:05:58,560 –> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: to say for so many years, and now not only

130
00:06:00,520 –> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: do we get our guy, we’re getting our guy that’s

131
00:06:02,040 –> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: doing things that’s never been done in NFL history. And

132
00:06:04,680 –> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: again the fact that he’s a good dude, carries himself

133
00:06:07,040 –> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: the right way, and he’s marketable. What he’s done for

134
00:06:09,279 –> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: the organization. I know one of the things that Mark

135
00:06:11,000 –> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 1: Donovan always says is prepared for success, being ready for

136
00:06:14,680 –> 00:06:16,679
Speaker 1: success and make sure that when a guy like Patrick

137
00:06:16,680 –> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: Mahomes steps in that whether it’s the creative team, whether

138
00:06:19,400 –> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: it’s the marketing team, whether it’s the sales team, whatever

139
00:06:21,440 –> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: it is, that everybody’s ready to capitalize on the branding

140
00:06:25,279 –> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: and the just the added attention the organization is getting.

141
00:06:28,200 –> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: And I feel like we’ve done a pretty good job.

142
00:06:29,800 –> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: He’s always can do better, but feel like we’ve done

143
00:06:31,480 –> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: a pretty good job. And this guy keeps making plays

144
00:06:34,000 –> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 1: and makes things easier if he wins. When he wins.

145
00:06:37,640 –> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: Let’s put it out there against the forty nine ers.

146
00:06:40,480 –> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: He will check every box that an NFL quarterback can

147
00:06:43,640 –> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 1: check in their career. At the age of twenty four,

148
00:06:47,040 –> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: it’s never happened to be an NFL MVP. Probably be

149
00:06:50,200 –> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl MVP, and under that scenario and win

150
00:06:52,520 –> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl at the age of twenty four, that’s

151
00:06:55,839 –> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 1: not happened. But again, that sets up the Chief’s Kingdom

152
00:06:59,480 –> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: for what could be this experience here. BJ to me

153
00:07:03,279 –> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 1: is yes, it’s the moment, and some would say, wow,

154
00:07:06,040 –> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: it’s been fifty years. But to me, I’m feeling all

155
00:07:08,720 –> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: this energy and we’re gonna get to this in the

156
00:07:10,920 –> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: next three quarters. But because of that fact alone, and

157
00:07:14,280 –> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: the fact that Mahomes and this team’s just kind of

158
00:07:16,600 –> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: getting started, really puts an interesting dynamic that maybe the

159
00:07:20,040 –> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: NFL hasn’t seen ever. Yeah, and I think it’s hard

160
00:07:22,760 –> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: to not get too far ahead of yourselves. And there’s

161
00:07:24,320 –> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: been a lot of organizations, thinking back to the Chiefs

162
00:07:26,520 –> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: in the sixty nine season, where you just thought we’re

163
00:07:28,320 –> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: gonna get there every year. We’ve got this ridiculous defense,

164
00:07:30,800 –> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: we’ve got this team built that you think you’re gonna

165
00:07:33,000 –> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: get there every year and we consider now and say

166
00:07:35,000 –> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: we’ve been feel like we’re gonna get here. There’s every

167
00:07:36,840 –> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: reason to believe that we will. But don’t lose sight

168
00:07:39,880 –> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: of the fact that this is special and be where

169
00:07:41,600 –> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: your feet are, own this moment and take advantage of

170
00:07:44,080 –> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: this opportunity because you don’t know what the future holds.

171
00:07:47,080 –> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: But based on what we’ve seen from the guys, they’re

172
00:07:49,160 –> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: having a good time. They’re enjoying this moment. They’re letting

173
00:07:51,120 –> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: the personality show. Like we talked about on in the

174
00:07:53,360 –> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: trenches yesterday, some chiefs hands have seen some stuff on

175
00:07:56,400 –> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: social wondering if the guys are too loose, if they’re

176
00:07:58,800 –> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: having a little bit too much fun, And I would

177
00:08:00,360 –> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: just say they’re embracing the moment. That’s exactly what you

178
00:08:02,840 –> 00:08:05,119
Speaker 1: wanted to do in the situation. But make no mistake,

179
00:08:05,160 –> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: when they it’s time to lock down and get to business,

180
00:08:07,280 –> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: which what they do the rest of the time when

181
00:08:09,560 –> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: they’re down here, they’re absolutely doing that. Coachree does a

182
00:08:11,800 –> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: phenomenal job secluding those guys, And when it’s time to

183
00:08:14,320 –> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: get to work, they’re ready to get to word. And

184
00:08:15,760 –> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: you and I are in agreement in this. I’m pretty

185
00:08:17,400 –> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: sure because of all the shows I’ve been doing this

186
00:08:19,480 –> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: week nationally and regionally. This team is hyper focused, but

187
00:08:24,040 –> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: we saw that an OTA’s. This team has been so

188
00:08:27,160 –> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: laser focused. And in my twenty six years, I’m trying

189
00:08:30,240 –> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 1: to think, I’m trying to scan through it. I’ve not

190
00:08:32,480 –> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: seen a Chiefs team this focus. This all of this

191
00:08:35,520 –> 00:08:38,079
Speaker 1: stuff isn’t taking the root. They’re not taking them off

192
00:08:38,080 –> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: the rails. I think you’ve said it very well. They’re

193
00:08:40,440 –> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: enjoying the moment. I can just tell from these guys

194
00:08:43,280 –> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: they’re ready to roll. Yeah, I don’t know any different.

195
00:08:45,840 –> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: I only know coach read get started fourteen. So you

196
00:08:50,360 –> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: tell all the stories. I can’t relate you. I can’t.

197
00:08:55,240 –> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: It’s a Chiefs fan. I can’t from seeing the behind

198
00:08:58,160 –> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 1: the curtain. Your sense of timing is good. All right,

199
00:09:00,400 –> 00:09:02,719
Speaker 1: let’s go to the second quarter. Now, this Defending the

200
00:09:02,800 –> 00:09:08,839
Speaker 1: Kingdom podcast entitled what winning Super Bowl fifty four will accelerate? Now,

201
00:09:08,920 –> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: let’s talk about what’s happened in the Chiefs Kingdom. Already

202
00:09:12,320 –> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: without a Super Bowl victory, four victory with Mahomes in

203
00:09:15,280 –> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: the last two years, and it’s gonna deal with putting

204
00:09:19,120 –> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: Kansas City the Chiefs Kingdom in a whole different platform. Okay,

205
00:09:24,720 –> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: let’s just throw some stuff out there. First of all,

206
00:09:27,160 –> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: you get to do Sideline. I’m the play by places now,

207
00:09:29,520 –> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 1: the largest network in the National Football League. It’s the Chiefs.

208
00:09:33,040 –> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: I just like I said, my timing is perfect. I

209
00:09:36,400 –> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: was gonna tell Dan Israel, executive producer, that I’ve been

210
00:09:38,640 –> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: on the Sideline for one year and we go to

211
00:09:40,160 –> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Hey, you’re in all right. The social

212
00:09:44,280 –> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 1: and digital growth has been phenomenal. Now, keep in mind

213
00:09:48,280 –> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: this is one of the more least populated areas of

214
00:09:52,320 –> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: an NFL franchise. But the growth, I’m just going to

215
00:09:56,440 –> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: read through these one point. Now, it’s the social footprint

216
00:09:59,640 –> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: now for the She’s Kingdom is five million. It has grown. Yeah,

217
00:10:02,760 –> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: it has grown in two years, almost doubled, close to double,

218
00:10:06,360 –> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: almost forty five percent growth. One point six million Facebook,

219
00:10:10,600 –> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 1: one point four million, Twitter, one point two million, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Snapchat.

220
00:10:17,600 –> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: These podcasts have seen phenomenal and in some ways exponential growth. Yeah.

221
00:10:24,200 –> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: Gabby tim and our digital analyst for the digital media department,

222
00:10:28,280 –> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 1: as a phenomenal job going through all those numbers, and

223
00:10:30,080 –> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: every week she sends out the numbers that tell us

224
00:10:32,800 –> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: that we’re always, you know, top three in growth, and

225
00:10:34,720 –> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: that’s a lot of times it depends on a whin

226
00:10:36,480 –> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: people are happy after when they absorbed the content, but

227
00:10:39,040 –> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: it’s withstood even after we’ve lost them. We had that

228
00:10:41,160 –> 00:10:42,839
Speaker 1: stretch we lost like four six in the middle of

229
00:10:42,880 –> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: the season. That numbers are always really good. And as

230
00:10:45,120 –> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: a credit to the guys behind the scenes who are

231
00:10:47,040 –> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: putting all the content together. It’s easy for us to

232
00:10:48,760 –> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: get up here and just talk about the team, but

233
00:10:50,440 –> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: the guys behind the scenes doing all their creative stuff.

234
00:10:52,800 –> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: Instagram has been a huge thing. TikTok is now a

235
00:10:55,720 –> 00:10:58,839
Speaker 1: huge saying Fernando who I call them Hohokudella does a

236
00:10:58,920 –> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: great job of social media, and Alex Mary does a

237
00:11:00,920 –> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: great job. The people behind the scenes that you don’t

238
00:11:02,480 –> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: get a chance to see that are really a part

239
00:11:04,840 –> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: of creating the excitement. I always say our jobs to entertain, inform, excite,

240
00:11:08,600 –> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: and a lot of the people who helped do that,

241
00:11:10,559 –> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: to create the hype videos and create that social content

242
00:11:12,960 –> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 1: that allows the brand to grow in the ways that

243
00:11:15,800 –> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: businesses and brands are growing right now via social media.

244
00:11:18,640 –> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: So many people behind the scenes that put all that

245
00:11:20,400 –> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: work together and they do a great job. They don’t

246
00:11:21,960 –> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: get enough credit for what they do. But yeah, it

247
00:11:24,320 –> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: when you have a guy like Patrick Mahomes and he’s

248
00:11:26,200 –> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: social media savvy, and you have a team again that’s

249
00:11:29,000 –> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: prepared for success, that that the department was in place.

250
00:11:32,760 –> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: Mike Chachini, Glenn Connolly, all those guys behind the scenes

251
00:11:35,640 –> 00:11:37,959
Speaker 1: do a great job. And I feel like we’ve capitalized that.

252
00:11:38,000 –> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: There’s everybody can always do better. But yeah, it’s been

253
00:11:40,280 –> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: a lot of fun to think about what you said.

254
00:11:42,320 –> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: Top three in growth the National Football League. Maybe the

255
00:11:46,559 –> 00:11:49,959
Speaker 1: premier league in soccer can match it as far as

256
00:11:49,960 –> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: worldwide growth, But the Chiefs. It’s the Chiefs because because

257
00:11:53,960 –> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: many times and you and I both grew up in

258
00:11:55,679 –> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 1: the Kingdom geographic area, it’s seen as well it’s the

259
00:11:58,600 –> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: Midwest or small mark. You hear small market all the

260
00:12:01,160 –> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: time in relation to Chiefs Professional or I’m sorry, Kansas

261
00:12:04,760 –> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: City Professional franchises. Top three in growth in the world’s

262
00:12:09,760 –> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: most impactful league. That’s an arguable statement. But just think

263
00:12:14,000 –> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 1: about that a second. Dustin Colquitt had a great quote

264
00:12:17,679 –> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: the other day. He goes, it’s not a small market team.

265
00:12:20,760 –> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: It’s not a small market, it’s a championship market. But

266
00:12:23,360 –> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 1: now we’re seeing that as far as people going, what

267
00:12:26,120 –> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: are the Chiefs are a lovable team even beyond my homes. Yeah,

268
00:12:29,480 –> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: and so people are noticing that around the world. Yeah.

269
00:12:31,640 –> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: I think the two things that I’ve heard and just

270
00:12:33,559 –> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: witnessed over the last couple of weeks. I saw one

271
00:12:35,440 –> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: of these tweet on social media is that Patrick Mom’s

272
00:12:37,640 –> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: the number one selling jersey in the NFL this season,

273
00:12:41,040 –> 00:12:43,679
Speaker 1: and between that standing out, that’s not terribly surprising, but

274
00:12:43,679 –> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: it kind of just shows that you have a player

275
00:12:45,960 –> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: that transcends the game like that in those highlights and

276
00:12:48,559 –> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: all those things, those plays that we’ve seen a million

277
00:12:50,640 –> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: times resonate with people who when you grow the game

278
00:12:53,800 –> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: internationally and you go down to Mexico City and they

279
00:12:56,120 –> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: get a chance to see him, then they get on

280
00:12:59,200 –> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: social media Internet and they see the highlights. But the

281
00:13:01,520 –> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 1: other thing that was really surprising when you talk about

282
00:13:03,800 –> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 1: the effect and just kind of the the I don’t

283
00:13:06,360 –> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: say consequence, but going down to Mexico City and what

284
00:13:08,600 –> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: that has done. Clark Hunt, when he spoke with the

285
00:13:11,000 –> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 1: media yesterday, said that he had more requests from Mexican

286
00:13:14,880 –> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: television stations to do interviews than he did from the

287
00:13:18,280 –> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: American stations when he was going through his media and

288
00:13:20,520 –> 00:13:22,719
Speaker 1: he said it was a direct result of going down

289
00:13:22,760 –> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 1: there and playing in Mexico City, which is interesting because

290
00:13:25,600 –> 00:13:27,559
Speaker 1: if you look at Patrick Mahomeseason, that was not one

291
00:13:27,559 –> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: of his better games, and he still had that appeal.

292
00:13:31,360 –> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: You know. It’s it’s cool to see what the world

293
00:13:36,200 –> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: is figuring out, how special Chiefs Kingdom is. And then

294
00:13:38,679 –> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: the pride that we all take of being a part

295
00:13:40,880 –> 00:13:43,319
Speaker 1: of this for so long. And there’s that generational fandom

296
00:13:43,559 –> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: that you and I have talked about a lot that

297
00:13:45,240 –> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: you know, it’s passed down from you know, grandparents to

298
00:13:47,480 –> 00:13:49,959
Speaker 1: parents to kids to their kids, and it’s what makes

299
00:13:49,960 –> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: it special. By the way, the vehicles you hear going

300
00:13:53,520 –> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 1: behind us and you’re seeing we’ve expanded our budget. It’s

301
00:13:56,600 –> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: our own ground crew to make sure that we have

302
00:13:58,600 –> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: this set up for you. Yeah, great people. Though we

303
00:14:01,600 –> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: were mentioning all the people of sixty five TPT, we

304
00:14:04,040 –> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: had to mention our grounds crew. But Gabby also came

305
00:14:06,679 –> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: up with an interesting kind of inside the numbers that

306
00:14:09,520 –> 00:14:12,959
Speaker 1: only twenty percent of the social digital fan base is

307
00:14:13,000 –> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: in the Kansas City metro. Now we know about the

308
00:14:15,440 –> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: vast expanse of the Chief’s Kingdom, but the big increases

309
00:14:19,200 –> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: have been you mentioned in Mexico, Germany, Brazil, the United Kingdom.

310
00:14:24,360 –> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: Had a chance to talk with Chiefs chairman and CEO

311
00:14:27,560 –> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: Clark Hunt. You you alluded to his being on Mexican television.

312
00:14:31,320 –> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: A Lott interviewed during here during the week in Miami,

313
00:14:34,000 –> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: but he gave great perspective on what a Super Bowl

314
00:14:37,400 –> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: fifty four victory could do again to make it even

315
00:14:41,280 –> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: more enhanced, and how the Chief’s Kingdom continues to grow.

316
00:14:44,600 –> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: I mentioned earlier that one of the byproducts I havn’t

317
00:14:48,120 –> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: a player like Patrick Mahomes and getting to compete in

318
00:14:50,360 –> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: championships is the ability to grow grow your brand. And

319
00:14:54,160 –> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: I think you know whether that’s in Mexico or whether

320
00:14:57,440 –> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: that’s in the United Kingdom well or Germany. And I

321
00:15:01,120 –> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: just I picked those markets. We’ve played in two of them,

322
00:15:04,000 –> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: and we have a relationship with barn Munich and I’ve

323
00:15:08,920 –> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: spent a lot of time talking to them over the

324
00:15:10,800 –> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: last twelve to fifteen months. And the interest in the

325
00:15:13,920 –> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes is tremendous. I think it’ll give

326
00:15:18,640 –> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: us a platform going forward to grow our brand internationally,

327
00:15:22,440 –> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: perhaps you know, play again internationally. I think the league

328
00:15:27,360 –> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: will want to showcase the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes and

329
00:15:31,360 –> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: there’ll be a lot of interest in him. Yeah. It

330
00:15:33,960 –> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: gives a great perspective there, and he’s been involved with

331
00:15:36,360 –> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: the NFL and expanding that footprint as a league on

332
00:15:40,360 –> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: the international committee. But now his player and his team

333
00:15:43,960 –> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: is really the lead team in this. Some other numbers,

334
00:15:47,040 –> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: the franchise has been phenomenal now and using another venue

335
00:15:50,920 –> 00:15:55,239
Speaker 1: here or another platform, three million views of the franchise

336
00:15:55,280 –> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: which has been so incredibly produced by Dane van Hoyt

337
00:15:59,160 –> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: also Benna. When you look at the Chiefs podcast network,

338
00:16:03,040 –> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: you and I involved in that all of a sudden

339
00:16:05,080 –> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: else are passing one million folks that in every week

340
00:16:10,360 –> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: or at least overall throughout the season, I should say,

341
00:16:13,440 –> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: on the Chiefs podcast network. So suffice it to say,

342
00:16:17,040 –> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are in a different territory here than any

343
00:16:19,680 –> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: time in their sixty year history. In a Super Bowl

344
00:16:22,320 –> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: fifty four victory takes it to me to almost another

345
00:16:26,320 –> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: solar system. I think the thirst is real for content.

346
00:16:29,240 –> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: I saw that when we put out the live stream

347
00:16:31,840 –> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: of the guys painting the Gold end zones before the

348
00:16:35,440 –> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: SEC title game, and the video had two hundred thousand

349
00:16:37,480 –> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: views people watching the end zones to get paid, which

350
00:16:40,280 –> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: look phenomenal. Travis Hogan and the staff that did a

351
00:16:42,520 –> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: great job getting all that set and they came down

352
00:16:44,160 –> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: here and got the stadium set up over at hard

353
00:16:46,400 –> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: Rock before this game. But yeah, I think that you

354
00:16:50,160 –> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: talk about branding, you talk about what a Super Bowl

355
00:16:52,480 –> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: victory could do, and I think the greatest and the

356
00:16:54,920 –> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: best answer is, we don’t know. It’s it’s uncharted terror.

357
00:16:58,480 –> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: This is all uncharted territory for all of us. You’ve

358
00:17:01,320 –> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: been asked about you know, your friends that that aren’t

359
00:17:04,080 –> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: Chiefs fans, and ask about Patrick Mahomes. You’re like, the

360
00:17:06,400 –> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 1: guy’s doing crazy things every single game and then being

361
00:17:09,760 –> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 1: humble afterwards. He is. He is the product if you

362
00:17:12,359 –> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 1: could create a player in Madden and then add personality

363
00:17:14,720 –> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 1: traits like that’s Patrick Mahomes exactly, who would create again?

364
00:17:18,960 –> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: For you Electricians in the Chiefs Kingdom, don’t be worried.

365
00:17:21,359 –> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: I know we’re crossing our wires here because this is

366
00:17:24,320 –> 00:17:26,959
Speaker 1: in the trenches crossing with defending the Kingdom. But it’s

367
00:17:27,000 –> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: all safe. If you want to take a break, I

368
00:17:28,560 –> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: can go on the eighth t over here at Turnberry

369
00:17:31,400 –> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 1: and from a couple of clubs. I’m sure everybody out

370
00:17:33,680 –> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: here is on a vacation. They wouldn’t mind later. Oh,

371
00:17:35,560 –> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: it’s so tempting and a terrific location here for the Chiefs,

372
00:17:40,720 –> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: up in the northern part of the Miami Beach, basically

373
00:17:44,119 –> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 1: in the area, the Aventur area. The people are really nice,

374
00:17:46,520 –> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: like everybody around here, like all security and all stuff

375
00:17:49,600 –> 00:17:51,479
Speaker 1: where it’s the team hotel. So obviously there’s a ton

376
00:17:51,520 –> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: of security right now before the Super Bowl, but everybody

377
00:17:54,320 –> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 1: works at the hotel. Everybody in the area has just

378
00:17:55,960 –> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: been phenomenal. Okay, this is halftime of Defending the Kingdom

379
00:17:59,000 –> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 1: Now with Sean Barbie. You know this. NFL halftimes are

380
00:18:01,680 –> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 1: only twelve minutes. However, in the Super Bowl it’s thirty minutes.

381
00:18:04,640 –> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 1: And actually Andy Reid has already been coaching the guys

382
00:18:06,920 –> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: who had to handle that. We can get to that

383
00:18:09,080 –> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: in a second. But halftime on this podcast is only

384
00:18:11,280 –> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: one second. It’s like a virtual time you have to

385
00:18:13,760 –> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 1: go to the bathroom, you get an orange like the

386
00:18:15,400 –> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: guys doing regular So there it is. Now we’re in

387
00:18:18,760 –> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: the third quarter. How’s had that feel? It felt pretty good.

388
00:18:21,040 –> 00:18:23,400
Speaker 1: I’m excited for halftime though, because normally I’m like regulars

389
00:18:23,400 –> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 1: the game, I don’t have time to do anything because

390
00:18:24,600 –> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 1: I’m down there doing the radio. I just kind of

391
00:18:26,160 –> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: like wander around aimlessly. Now I got thirty minutes. You

392
00:18:28,680 –> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: see Jo and Shakira and watch the whole halftime show.

393
00:18:31,320 –> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 1: And if you go on stage with him though, that’s

394
00:18:32,920 –> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: when it’s gonna get frightening. You never know karaoke with

395
00:18:36,680 –> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: you j Lo and BJ. I can see it in

396
00:18:40,480 –> 00:18:42,199
Speaker 1: something with the dancers. I could see Megan and your

397
00:18:42,200 –> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: wife going what what what? Okay? Third quarter here? And

398
00:18:45,400 –> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 1: this deals more with football issues and a perspective of

399
00:18:50,000 –> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: what a Super Bowl fifty four victory could mean. We

400
00:18:53,440 –> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 1: have seen this actually redefine the football side of franchises.

401
00:18:58,240 –> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 1: Let’s take one great example in the AC It’s the

402
00:19:01,440 –> 00:19:04,199
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers. Now, if you want to go into history,

403
00:19:04,680 –> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 1: the Steelers were the worst team in the NFL in

404
00:19:08,400 –> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: the late fifties. In the nineteen sixties, they were bad.

405
00:19:12,040 –> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 1: The Bill Austin years, the old uniforms. If you go

406
00:19:14,720 –> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 1: back and look at the NFL films, like the yellow

407
00:19:16,600 –> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: shoulder Pets, Chuck Noll change things. Terry Bradshaw comes in

408
00:19:21,240 –> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 1: Steel Curtain, immaculate reception. BJ. For fifty years, the Steelers

409
00:19:27,680 –> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 1: have been the epitome of consistent winning. How many times

410
00:19:30,400 –> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: you’ve seen them go one in fifteen? Yeah, okay, that

411
00:19:34,200 –> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 1: run in the late seventies to finally go from the

412
00:19:37,400 –> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: worst to be one of the best has lasted to me.

413
00:19:42,000 –> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: With this Chiefs team and the way this has been

414
00:19:44,119 –> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: built brick by brick, I get the sense, if they

415
00:19:46,840 –> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 1: can win this game, and even if they don’t, this

416
00:19:49,240 –> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: is something that can last. Yeah, it’s built for the

417
00:19:51,640 –> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: long haul. And I think that’s every goal in football.

418
00:19:54,320 –> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 1: Is a little different because the parody in the draft

419
00:19:56,160 –> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: and the salary cap and all those things, but you

420
00:19:59,480 –> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 1: again prepare for success. And the way the relationship between

421
00:20:03,119 –> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 1: Andy Reid and Brett Veach and everybody else on that

422
00:20:05,960 –> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 1: staff and the way that they work for him, and

423
00:20:07,720 –> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 1: the way that coach read develops the next round of

424
00:20:09,920 –> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: coaches seeing about what we’ve done offensively. Just stay on

425
00:20:12,240 –> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 1: the football side. If you know what we’ve done offensively.

426
00:20:14,640 –> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: How many times you lose Doug Peterson, you lose your

427
00:20:17,040 –> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, and then you have Brad Childress and Matt

428
00:20:19,760 –> 00:20:22,120
Speaker 1: Naggie come up, and then it’s Eric b Enemy’s turn,

429
00:20:22,160 –> 00:20:23,959
Speaker 1: and the offense just hasn’t missed the beat. I saw

430
00:20:24,000 –> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: a tweet the other day. It’s about draft Rodney Hudson.

431
00:20:26,560 –> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 1: He becomes the highest paid center in the league, goes

432
00:20:28,440 –> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: off and you draft miss Morris and then he becomes

433
00:20:30,560 –> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: the highest paid center and then you get Austin Rider.

434
00:20:32,960 –> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 1: He steps right in and the offense doesn’t miss a beat.

435
00:20:35,359 –> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: It’s about being prepared for success and being prepared for

436
00:20:38,119 –> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 1: the long haul. And you try to find these micro examples,

437
00:20:40,880 –> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: and you can find them very easily. But I think

438
00:20:42,920 –> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 1: it’s a great point with the Pittsburgh Steelers and kind

439
00:20:44,920 –> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 1: of how they carried that success. But Vahiga Gory and

440
00:20:47,480 –> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 1: the great columnist for the Kansas City Star. I hurt

441
00:20:49,680 –> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: him on the radio, so I don’t want to steal

442
00:20:51,000 –> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 1: his This is coming from vam paraphrasing. But he brought

443
00:20:53,960 –> 00:20:56,679
Speaker 1: up the example of John Wooden, the UCLA coach that

444
00:20:56,720 –> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: he coached for, Like I could be wrong here, like

445
00:20:58,800 –> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: twelve to fifteen years before he ever won a title

446
00:21:01,520 –> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 1: and now he’s synonymous in his name. Is you know

447
00:21:03,760 –> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: you look up champion here see John Winden’s name, and

448
00:21:06,560 –> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: he goes twelve fifteen years, doesn’t win one, and then

449
00:21:08,600 –> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: one’s nine out of ten. So that’s what I kind

450
00:21:10,760 –> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: of think. Hopefully any Reid wins nine out of ten,

451
00:21:12,640 –> 00:21:14,479
Speaker 1: that would be enough, that would be phenomenal. But there

452
00:21:14,480 –> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 1: have been so many guys who’s the way that people

453
00:21:17,520 –> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 1: feel about them changes once they get that first title.

454
00:21:19,760 –> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning was that way that he wasn’t winning the

455
00:21:22,080 –> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: big one. So when it comes to like coach Read,

456
00:21:24,040 –> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: I think the perception of him would be completely different

457
00:21:26,640 –> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: with this win because I feel like then the monkey’s

458
00:21:29,000 –> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 1: off the back and again it’s prepared for success the

459
00:21:31,320 –> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: long haul. I think when it’s all said and done,

460
00:21:33,119 –> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: it’s not going to be did Ady Reid, Like I

461
00:21:35,520 –> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: think the questions people are asking now are going to

462
00:21:37,400 –> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: be an afterthought by the time his career said and done. Yeah,

463
00:21:40,280 –> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 1: he’s gonna go to the Hall of Fame. I think

464
00:21:41,640 –> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: you and I agree on that. Regardless Marv Levy made it,

465
00:21:44,520 –> 00:21:46,479
Speaker 1: never won a super Bowl, had those four runners up,

466
00:21:46,520 –> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: I mean tough. Yeah. Well, what any read doesn’t want, well,

467
00:21:50,800 –> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: we don’t want Franny Reid is the graphic we see

468
00:21:53,359 –> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 1: nearly every day of the winning as coach in NFL

469
00:21:56,040 –> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 1: history to not win a Super Bowl. So to me,

470
00:21:58,600 –> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: one of the things that when Andy wins the Super

471
00:22:00,720 –> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: Bowl or a super Bowl that will come to the

472
00:22:03,800 –> 00:22:06,199
Speaker 1: forefront will be how he has been the coach in

473
00:22:06,240 –> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 1: the NFL to take what the college game has presented

474
00:22:09,440 –> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 1: over the past ten years in specific and morphed it

475
00:22:12,280 –> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: into what the NFL must have. Meaning in the case

476
00:22:15,560 –> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 1: of Cliff Kingsbury, you can’t run those protections games you

477
00:22:18,440 –> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 1: have at Texas Tech, or Kyler Murray won’t make it

478
00:22:20,920 –> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 1: to his third year. And so he’s taken the best

479
00:22:23,960 –> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: of the NFL or necessary that you have to have

480
00:22:25,840 –> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 1: in the NFL and said, I’m not going to ignore

481
00:22:27,720 –> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 1: the college game because I’ve coached twenty one years and

482
00:22:30,280 –> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: here’s what I do. Nope, he has morphed and changed,

483
00:22:33,119 –> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 1: but he’s also said it’s got to be molded into

484
00:22:35,200 –> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: this framework that to me is one of the most

485
00:22:37,840 –> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 1: impactful things Andy Reid is done. And it seems so simple,

486
00:22:40,880 –> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 1: and this is simplifying it completely. And it’s a little

487
00:22:43,240 –> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: kind of a side point on that is that it

488
00:22:45,080 –> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: seems so simple that for so many years he took

489
00:22:47,280 –> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 1: the college spread offense, and then to get to the NFL.

490
00:22:49,520 –> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 1: Can he be a pro style quarterback? Can he take

491
00:22:51,160 –> 00:22:53,360
Speaker 1: a snap under center? Can he do all he can read?

492
00:22:53,440 –> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 1: Can he do all these things? And then finally coaches

493
00:22:55,760 –> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: are like, you know what, why are we trying to

494
00:22:57,400 –> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: force them to do this? Where Andy Read says, you

495
00:22:59,280 –> 00:23:01,679
Speaker 1: know what, I’m gonna take Patrick Mahomes likes doing. He

496
00:23:01,720 –> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 1: had that notebook that he talked about from Patrick’s favorite

497
00:23:04,200 –> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: plays at Texas Tech and then spent all off season

498
00:23:06,640 –> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: working those into his game plan going into last year,

499
00:23:09,760 –> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: and then we saw him just absolutely murder the NFL

500
00:23:12,560 –> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 1: with five thousand yards and fifty touchdowns. And we kind

501
00:23:14,680 –> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: of touched on earlier. Then defense has had a chance

502
00:23:16,880 –> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: to study him all year and that’s why this season

503
00:23:19,000 –> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: has been as impressive as anything is, because he’s taking

504
00:23:21,080 –> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: everyone’s best shot. We talked about Andy reading his legacy.

505
00:23:23,880 –> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: I do want to get this in there too, because

506
00:23:25,040 –> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 1: I spoke with Tom Melvin earlier today about the legacy

507
00:23:27,760 –> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 1: and all those things. Nobody on this staff and nobody

508
00:23:30,200 –> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: outside of Tammy Reid and his family have been around

509
00:23:33,280 –> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 1: Coach Read as long as Tom Melvin has, and for

510
00:23:36,240 –> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: guys to understand how much time he’s put into it

511
00:23:39,760 –> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: and to hear the stories and Coachree talks a lot

512
00:23:41,560 –> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 1: about family and keeping things in the house, and it’s

513
00:23:43,600 –> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: a tight knit group and loyal to one another. Tom

514
00:23:47,119 –> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 1: Melvin told the stories of going back to their days

515
00:23:49,480 –> 00:23:51,719
Speaker 1: at San Francisco State when he was the only senior

516
00:23:51,760 –> 00:23:55,360
Speaker 1: offensive line Tom Melvin the only senior offensive lineman at

517
00:23:55,359 –> 00:23:58,239
Speaker 1: San Francisco State and Coach Read’s first real coaching job

518
00:23:58,280 –> 00:24:00,919
Speaker 1: when he’s out selling hot dogs to make money recruiting trips.

519
00:24:01,359 –> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 1: But for Tom Melvin to say, once a week, they

520
00:24:03,160 –> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: went over and Tammy made the Mississippi Mudpie for all

521
00:24:05,640 –> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 1: of them and they would watch film on the VHS

522
00:24:07,800 –> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 1: tape and break down film as a way to get

523
00:24:09,760 –> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: his guys together to create that continuity and that just

524
00:24:12,840 –> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: that love for one another amongst his offensive line group,

525
00:24:16,640 –> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 1: and that was kind of where he started and that’s

526
00:24:19,040 –> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: how we started building it way back winning when he’s

527
00:24:21,359 –> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: grinding it out. It’s basically a grad assistant in his

528
00:24:23,480 –> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: you know, an entry level coaching job back there working

529
00:24:26,359 –> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 1: for Vic Rohn at San Francisco State. But I just

530
00:24:29,440 –> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: want to get that in there about Tom Melvin and

531
00:24:30,920 –> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 1: Dave Tobe and their relationships. Starting back at UTEP. There

532
00:24:34,400 –> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: are a lot of guys that the players have a

533
00:24:36,880 –> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: lot of mics in their face talking about what it’s

534
00:24:38,280 –> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 1: going to mean to them to try to get one

535
00:24:39,920 –> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: for Andy Reid. But this coaching staff and these guys

536
00:24:42,000 –> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: that have known him for thirty years, it’s going to

537
00:24:45,320 –> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 1: be special for them too. By the way, You’ve done

538
00:24:47,520 –> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: a lot of good stuff in seven years, but your

539
00:24:49,560 –> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: best work is that long form on Andy Reid, and

540
00:24:52,960 –> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: honest to goodness, it is a if you’re a card carrying,

541
00:24:55,800 –> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: red blooded member of the Chief’s Kingdom in Brazil or

542
00:24:58,119 –> 00:25:02,400
Speaker 1: Mexico or UK or I don’t know, Maryville, Missouri, that

543
00:25:02,480 –> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 1: long form read should be required reading for Chiefs Kingdom

544
00:25:05,400 –> 00:25:07,400
Speaker 1: one on one. It’s fabulous, great job because it gives

545
00:25:07,440 –> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: you terrific perspective on Andy Reid. And just so we

546
00:25:10,119 –> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: all realize what Andy Reid has done seven years of

547
00:25:12,880 –> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 1: winning for the Kansas City Chiefs or the Dallas Texans,

548
00:25:16,040 –> 00:25:18,919
Speaker 1: It’s never been done. And the fact that he’s been

549
00:25:18,960 –> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 1: a consistent winner year after year after year, twenty seven

550
00:25:21,200 –> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 1: and three against the division unprecedented in the last five years.

551
00:25:24,720 –> 00:25:26,199
Speaker 1: And it’s been a division that’s had a twelve and

552
00:25:26,240 –> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 1: four Charger team, a twelve and four Raider team, and

553
00:25:28,920 –> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: a world champion, Super Bowl champion Denver Bronco team in

554
00:25:32,600 –> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: that span puts it in perspective. Now, let’s go to

555
00:25:35,119 –> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, and what we like to do both

556
00:25:38,080 –> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 1: on in the trenches and defending the kingdom is take

557
00:25:40,200 –> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 1: you places where you don’t even think about what I thought.

558
00:25:42,920 –> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: We’re gonna put the hammer down. But we’ll get to

559
00:25:44,760 –> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 1: that in the fourth Oh, that’s right, we need to

560
00:25:46,440 –> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 1: do it at the beginning of the fourth quarter. All right,

561
00:25:48,800 –> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 1: bj Kissel Kendall, Gammon’s not here. All the Chiefs Kingdom.

562
00:25:51,680 –> 00:25:56,199
Speaker 1: It’s time too put her down and the gal’s going,

563
00:25:56,280 –> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 1: what you want to use a seven iron for the hammer.

564
00:26:00,400 –> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: Here’s where this gets really interesting is that this is

565
00:26:04,640 –> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: a lens now that actually goes both ways. Because of

566
00:26:08,880 –> 00:26:12,439
Speaker 1: the interest in the Chief’s Kingdom. There is intrigue of

567
00:26:12,520 –> 00:26:17,880
Speaker 1: now people looking at Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City and actually

568
00:26:17,880 –> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: becoming a potential mecca. I know of people the Chargers

569
00:26:20,960 –> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: were taken from them. They’re in retirement. They moved from

570
00:26:24,600 –> 00:26:27,919
Speaker 1: San Diego to Kansas City because they wanted the Kingdom.

571
00:26:28,000 –> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 1: I’ve got friends that when my wife and I lived

572
00:26:29,920 –> 00:26:31,640
Speaker 1: in Than Diego for four years, and once the charge

573
00:26:31,680 –> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: was that they were done with them, they tried to

574
00:26:33,040 –> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 1: keep them there. They were part of the group trying

575
00:26:34,400 –> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 1: to keep them and they were done. I was like,

576
00:26:35,840 –> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 1: come on, come on, However, people are moving to Kansas

577
00:26:38,240 –> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: City because they want this. It’s a kid, you not,

578
00:26:40,880 –> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: It’s interesting. So we had a chance to talk with

579
00:26:43,600 –> 00:26:48,439
Speaker 1: Chiefs President Mark Donovan about that, about this branding, about

580
00:26:48,440 –> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: what it can mean and redefining winning Super Bowl fifty

581
00:26:52,040 –> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: four could redefine the whole franchise and accelerate this growth.

582
00:26:56,720 –> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: And here’s what he had to say. The impact that

583
00:26:59,280 –> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: we’re seeing now it’s been almost one hundred percent growth,

584
00:27:03,280 –> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: like in the digital platforms, but the interest that goes

585
00:27:07,040 –> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: maybe beyond the region where it’s become more of a

586
00:27:09,560 –> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: potentially a national team or even an international flavor. Yeah.

587
00:27:13,840 –> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 1: I think the combination of the talent on the team,

588
00:27:16,760 –> 00:27:20,199
Speaker 1: and obviously Patrick leads that with his appeal and his

589
00:27:20,320 –> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 1: worldwide presence now, but you’ve got to also acknowledge the

590
00:27:26,200 –> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: other superstars on this team and the personalities of those superstars.

591
00:27:30,920 –> 00:27:34,360
Speaker 1: I think that all plays into it, and then combine

592
00:27:34,440 –> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: that with the platforms that we’ve been on and you

593
00:27:37,880 –> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 1: talk about the ratings and the Internet growth and the

594
00:27:40,440 –> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: things we do socially, the opportunities we’ve been given and

595
00:27:45,119 –> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: taken advantage of with playoff games, AFC Championship games last

596
00:27:49,840 –> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 1: year and this year. Those are platforms where you’ve got

597
00:27:53,720 –> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 1: tens of millions of people around the world watching your

598
00:27:56,560 –> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: game and seeing your brand. And the fact that we’ve

599
00:27:59,080 –> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: had two of those at home exposes Kansas City and

600
00:28:02,640 –> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: exposes Arrowhead and that whole experience that I’ve said this

601
00:28:06,400 –> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: many times, Arrowheads a bucket list if you’re in sports,

602
00:28:10,640 –> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 1: clearly in the NFL, but beyond beyond the NFL, people

603
00:28:13,520 –> 00:28:16,439
Speaker 1: just want to see Arrowhead. We keep getting these opportunities

604
00:28:16,440 –> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: to beyond those stages and take advantage of them, especially

605
00:28:19,080 –> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 1: the way we did this year. This stage, as you’ve

606
00:28:22,400 –> 00:28:25,879
Speaker 1: seen in this week, is bigger than anyone can imagine.

607
00:28:26,000 –> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 1: And we talked about this in two thousand and nine

608
00:28:29,640 –> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: preparing for success. I mean, this is part of that

609
00:28:31,920 –> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 1: talk is we’re gonna have opportunities like this, We’ve got

610
00:28:34,680 –> 00:28:36,399
Speaker 1: to make sure we take advantage of them. And I

611
00:28:36,440 –> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 1: think that’s what we’re trying to do this week. To

612
00:28:38,840 –> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: your question, those opportunities create expansion opportunities, and I think

613
00:28:45,040 –> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: when you look at what’s happening to our brand, what’s

614
00:28:46,760 –> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 1: happening to our team, what’s happened to our individual players,

615
00:28:50,240 –> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: that’s just that’s going to continue to grow. And if

616
00:28:52,920 –> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 1: you look at the history of the league, teams that

617
00:28:55,400 –> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: get to this point and are able to maximize it

618
00:28:58,080 –> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 1: continue to grow. So if you look at you know,

619
00:29:00,160 –> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 1: why are all these Steeler fans and Dolphins fans in

620
00:29:02,680 –> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 1: the seventies and eighties, We’ll look at their success on

621
00:29:04,920 –> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 1: the field that grew that. What happened? How did the

622
00:29:07,440 –> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: Raiders get to phoph play Mexico? Well, not a geographic

623
00:29:10,480 –> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: but look at their success in those years. And you know,

624
00:29:13,320 –> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 1: we think we’re on a we have the opportunity to

625
00:29:16,360 –> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 1: be on a pretty good run here, and we’re going

626
00:29:18,360 –> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 1: to continue to try to take advantage of that. Very

627
00:29:20,960 –> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 1: interesting comments, because here’s the thing with people that are

628
00:29:23,360 –> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 1: season ticket members that go to Arrowhead Stadium and you

629
00:29:25,600 –> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 1: and I grew up around it. I don’t think we

630
00:29:28,600 –> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: all of a sudden think about the last two AFC

631
00:29:30,760 –> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: Championship games have been there. People say, I want to

632
00:29:33,640 –> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 1: go to lambeau Field because I want to experience Lambeau

633
00:29:36,160 –> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 1: Remember the ice Bowl of the nineteen sixty seven game

634
00:29:38,560 –> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: or whatever. Now that’s Arrowhead and here people want to

635
00:29:43,000 –> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 1: I want to see Arrowhead. Is it really when I

636
00:29:45,280 –> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: traveled across the country, they go, is it really is cool?

637
00:29:47,360 –> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: I said, it’s better than that. So now think about

638
00:29:49,800 –> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: it in that perspective. That’s the coolest part. I think

639
00:29:52,920 –> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: of being growing up a fan of the team and

640
00:29:54,680 –> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 1: then working for the team, and you knew the Arrowhead

641
00:29:57,000 –> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: was special, but you have no perspective and you have

642
00:30:00,160 –> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: you’re like, the Arrowhead is the best. But when you

643
00:30:01,640 –> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 1: go and see the other places and you see that

644
00:30:03,800 –> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 1: a lot of these other stadium they don’t have the places,

645
00:30:05,520 –> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 1: the tailgate. There’s not this big party like college atmosphere.

646
00:30:09,200 –> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 1: And then to know that that was kind of what

647
00:30:11,400 –> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 1: was always said. And then as we travel around and

648
00:30:13,480 –> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: we’re all these road games, going to these different places.

649
00:30:15,560 –> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: As the bus pulls in, I’m always just thinking, if

650
00:30:17,760 –> 00:30:19,239
Speaker 1: I was a fan of this team, what would the

651
00:30:19,280 –> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 1: atmosphere be? Like? How cool is it to go to

652
00:30:21,520 –> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 1: a game? And some of them have some spots that

653
00:30:23,440 –> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 1: are cool, and people go and they’re always gonna find

654
00:30:25,320 –> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: a way to have a good time. But it’s just different.

655
00:30:27,360 –> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: And I love what Mark Donovan said about it being

656
00:30:29,200 –> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 1: a bucket list and not just going into Arrowheads Stadium,

657
00:30:31,680 –> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 1: but going in and participating like the tailgate atmosphere, because

658
00:30:34,920 –> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: one thing about Chiefs Fans and Chiefs Kingdom and just

659
00:30:37,400 –> 00:30:41,719
Speaker 1: Midwestern values is that you don’t have to know a

660
00:30:41,720 –> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: ton of people, like if you if you and your wife,

661
00:30:44,160 –> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: or you and your girlfriend, or if you just got

662
00:30:45,760 –> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: a couple of buddies and you want to go to

663
00:30:47,200 –> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: a tailgate, but you don’t want to bring the grill

664
00:30:48,520 –> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 1: out and all that. You could find any grill or

665
00:30:51,040 –> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 1: any tailgate spot in the parking lot of Arrowhead. Walk up,

666
00:30:53,880 –> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 1: introduce yourself, maybe throw them some sort of beverage, and

667
00:30:56,720 –> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: you’re gonna sit down and make a friend for the

668
00:30:58,320 –> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 1: next like three or four hours. And they’ve got the

669
00:31:00,160 –> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: Ford Tailgate District that you can go tailgate at if

670
00:31:02,200 –> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 1: you’re from a different place. But that’s what special about

671
00:31:06,160 –> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 1: Chiefs Kingdom, and it’s just so welcoming and you just

672
00:31:08,160 –> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 1: welcome people. They’re nice to everyone. And I love what

673
00:31:10,920 –> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 1: Mark said again about it being a bucket list is

674
00:31:13,080 –> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: The atmosphere is one thing. Once you’re in the stadium,

675
00:31:15,120 –> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 1: it’s special, but it begins hours and hours before that

676
00:31:18,000 –> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: out in the parking lots. It becomes a drive for

677
00:31:20,160 –> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 1: economic engine Think about people from Brazil and Mexico. They

678
00:31:23,440 –> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 1: want to come here. They want to see it. This

679
00:31:25,400 –> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 1: is their team that they love. Now they want to

680
00:31:27,040 –> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 1: see Patrick Mahomes and Arrowhead. They will come to Kansas

681
00:31:30,040 –> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 1: City to visit. I’m telling you some because of this,

682
00:31:34,000 –> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 1: through this lens are coming to Kansas City to live.

683
00:31:37,320 –> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: It also sets up if the Chiefs can win this.

684
00:31:39,440 –> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 1: Think about the parade, man, I mean, I know it’s

685
00:31:41,360 –> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: been don’t I can’t live I know, I know, but

686
00:31:43,760 –> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 1: think about what it would be. However, think about what

687
00:31:46,320 –> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: it also sets up every year of the Chiefs being

688
00:31:48,800 –> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: a challenger not only in the AFC but for the NFL.

689
00:31:52,600 –> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 1: But we’re also going to host the NFL Draft twenty

690
00:31:55,320 –> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 1: twenty three. Opportunity to host the World Cup. The next

691
00:31:59,320 –> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 1: ten years for the city of Kansas City and the

692
00:32:02,680 –> 00:32:07,719
Speaker 1: region could be the biggest impactful ten years in the

693
00:32:07,800 –> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 1: history of the entire place. We say, be prepared for success.

694
00:32:11,360 –> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: Kathy Nelson and her group do a phenomenal job with

695
00:32:14,120 –> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: the Sports Commission. And I think more importantly, Mitch, with

696
00:32:17,120 –> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: all this like branding and going to all these different

697
00:32:19,840 –> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: countries and all that, you’re gonna have to buy a

698
00:32:21,440 –> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 1: lot of Rosetta stone figure out all these different languages

699
00:32:24,960 –> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: so you can do all these touchdown Kansas City and

700
00:32:26,960 –> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: all these calls and all the different languages, because it’s

701
00:32:28,840 –> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 1: going to be important. They want to hear it. We

702
00:32:30,480 –> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: had Cairo Santos, I had tried Portuguese. I just butchered it.

703
00:32:33,960 –> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: So I’m gonna be working on all of that stuff.

704
00:32:35,760 –> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 1: I have to be like five languages. But anyway, this

705
00:32:38,720 –> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: edition again try to rethink the Super Bowl fifty four

706
00:32:42,080 –> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: run and what a victory and super Bowl fifty four

707
00:32:44,000 –> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 1: will accelerate. It won’t change anything, but it will accelerate.

708
00:32:48,160 –> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: And so here we go. He’s b J. Kissel, I’m
