And everyone that I know that I don't know him and everyone that I know that knows him adores him. He's a great dude, and the little snippets we get of his family life, he really seems like an awesome father and husband, great guy.

I just, there is, there is to me a, if you're just going to be Mr. Positivity about everything, and I'm not saying that's Dan necessarily, so be it, but there is to me a hypocrisy of oh, there are some sacred cows here, but I will, but not, that'll stay away from. That's all, you know, as the kids say on Twitter, the noticers are noticing. And maybe I'm just noticing.

Yeah. And so the listen, the thing you said on the front end, it is I'm I I could not be more blessed than to be a kid from Kansas City who I somebody asked me yesterday. Do I, you know, do I miss doing talk radio in Kansas City?

Yeah. And so the listen, the thing you said on the front end, it is I'm I I could not be more blessed than to be a kid from Kansas City who I somebody asked me yesterday. Do I, you know, do I miss doing talk radio in Kansas City?

And I said in a kind of maybe more vulnerable than I should have been, I was like, well, I maybe have never been as happy as I was when I was doing talk radio in my hometown a dozen years ago or at this point, 15 years ago, I guess. But.

The blessing of what the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes have given me personally is they have allowed essentially me to pursue my highest career ambitions while still just doing a local Kansas City talk show. Because I don't know if you watch a lot of First Things First, but there's a lot of Chiefs talk on it because they're the team.

and so that is a huge blessing mike you know the fact that before last season i get the never a doubt tattoo and then patrick mahomes who almost never tweets 60 minutes after winning super bowl mvp sends his first tweet of the playoffs and it's three words never a doubt with him holding the trophies yeah that's one of the dopest things that could you could happen in a sports movie much less in real life

And so I should be happier about those things. I am frustrated because the only thing this compares to, in my opinion, as far as this level of dominance over a seven year stretch is the Bulls in the 90s. And not only were the Bulls in the 90s universally beloved, they are retroactively still a sacred beloved.

They are, you mentioned it to Stigatz, and he gets, even though he's a Knicks fan, his eyes well up with emotion thinking about Bob Costas and John Tesh and the good old days.

Right. And so and now we are getting it in a sport where it shouldn't be able to exist. Single elimination, salary cap, all of it. And during over the course of the year. It was a denial that was frustrating to me. And then the moment it became undeniable, it was a rigged game. And there are a lot, a lot of uncomfortable similarities to the run-up to the 2020 presidential election.

This guy has no chance. This guy is inept. This guy can't win. This is going to be a rout. I lost. It's rigged. And that's what I heard all year with the Chiefs. Fraudulent team. Getting lucky. Too many one-score games. Can't score more than 30. Can't blow anyone out. Rigged. Okay. Fine. You're just wrong.

Oh, well, I think that there was something that LeBron was working against as far as from the masses that neither Brady nor Jordan had to work against, which is. Two diehard fan bases who were deeply invested in him not being considered as great as he was. Because you had Jordan fans and Kobe fans who it was a part of their individual identity that needed LeBron to not be LeBron.
