Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
What other retired player should get back out there? I was thinking about this. Who else would be? I mean, I know a guy still trying to prove his athleticism and trying to dunk.
Travis, I can't bend my elbow right now. I can't even touch my head right now because I got a loose body stuck in my elbow joint. Well, go and get that cleaned out, Jason. I'm trying to avoid surgery, Travis. Are we not rehabbing? There's not a rehab. There's just a piece of cartilage that's floating around in there and it's stuck in my joint.
Oh, well, yeah, Jason, you got to go and get that cleaned out. It's like stuck somewhere. I don't know if it's in the back or in the front, but it isn't leaving.
I don't know.
Anyway, it's not going to be me.

Chapter 2: What led to the end of the Chiefs' playoff hopes?
How about that? She's also going to be giving us some official shopping guides for dudes who can't shop good. Oh, that was classic. I actually might need to rewatch that.
Jason, you are a great shopper.
Yeah. Never been. Never been. Please enjoy the holidays with your family and also a lot of new heights. That wraps up new news brought to you by Reese's Trees.
And since it's the holiday season, I'm going to say the Reese's Trees are a little bit better than the pumpkins. All right. Now let's get to some bold topics to wrap up week 15 in the NFL and unfortunately wrap up our playoff hopes.
Chiefs 13, Chargers 16. What are your thoughts following the game?
Well, first things first, obviously, we lost our quarterback, man. Patty Mahomes, our guy, our brother, our fearless leader, our face of the franchise to an ACL. It's never easy seeing your guys go down. We had a bunch of guys get hurt this past game. And we fought, man. We fought. We had some guys fight through some stuff. We had some guys, unfortunately, not make it back out on the field.
And for the season to be going like it did up to that point and we're on our last quest to try and keep our playoff hopes alive there in the fourth quarter and on a freakish play to see 1-5 go down like that, man, it fucking – it was almost like it was – It wasn't real. And shit just sucks, man. For a guy that puts in that much and puts his body on the line week in, week out.
you know, makes this football world. He makes the best of it, man, by, by how hard he works. And it just, it sucks, man. And then obviously we, we had some momentum going there with our guy, Gardner Minshew, man, and tried to find a way there at the end. And it's just, things just didn't go our way up to that point. And, and yeah, and that's the, that's the game for you right there.
It's just things just, you know, when you need them the most, just weren't falling for us. And, You got to go back to the drawing boards, man. And we got three games left. I know we're still talking about this game, but the integrity of who you are as a professional, as a player, you got to love this shit, man. And Chiefs Kingdom, we're going to give you everything we got.

Chapter 3: How did Patrick Mahomes' injury impact the Chiefs' season?
And they got guys on that defensive line that can wreck a game. Obviously, Jeffrey Simmons has been doing it for a while now, man. I'm a big old mean dude up front, and we're going to have to find ways to be able to slow him down and make our guy Garner get comfortable back there. And from there, it's just mastering the game plan and getting out there and getting after it, man.
We do have this mic'd up video of you and Derwin, who had the game-sealing interception. Let's take a look at this.
Give me this jersey. Come on, dog. Give it to me. You already know, man. Keep bleeding, man. This is cool to see you transpiring. You already know. Come on, now. Do your thing, baby. I got you. I'll shoot it over for you.
We've had so many battles, man.
What a great dude, man.
Just plays the game the right way. The attitude, the physicality, the toughness. I love it when you can get after somebody on the football field. They can fucking pick you up and body slam you, and there's no bad blood. There's just a bunch of respect for how they carry themselves and go at it. Obviously, Derwin's one of the fucking best to ever do it, man.
It was an honor to swap jerseys with him and the honor to share the fucking gridiron with him, man. I'm a guy that I fucking love this game, man. I love it when I get to go being another guy that I watch on film. I'm like, that guy fucking plays this game the right way, you know? And he got me on a few this past game. It's cool that he came up and said all that, man.
I wish him the best of luck the rest of the year, man.
The question is, have you sent him the jersey yet? Yeah.

Chapter 4: How do the Chiefs plan to approach the remaining games of the season?
I do. Skipping the ugly sweater party to watch football in your sweats instead?
I mean, that's a no-brainer. Of course.
I mean, you can throw on that ugly sweater anyways. Yeah. So celebrate the season with peanut butter perfection and be sure to grab Reese's Trees today. Jason, why don't you tell them where to get them from?
Well, it's found wherever candy is sold. Literally. You can find it everywhere.
I think I called you Jason. Jason. Jason. Jason. Thank you to our sponsor, Amazon. Jason, you done all your holiday shopping yet? Still going.
I have started it. I got some of it going.
I'm right there with you.
Amazon is definitely one of the go-tos, especially, I mean, dude, it's just.
It's got everything.

Chapter 5: What were the highlights of the Eagles' blowout against the Raiders?
That's where you get tacos. Get out of here. Get this shit out of here. You're out of your mind. Get this fucking... Get this out of my face. There's no chance any place in KC is competing with LA Tacos. Street meat? You think street meat's fucking... That's like where tacos come from. No, it's not. Yes, it is. No, it's not. It is not where they come from.
Look up where tacos come from. You want me to Google where tacos come from? Where tacos come from?
Where do tacos come from? Okay. This is ridiculous. I can't believe you're trying to compete with this thing.
U.S. introduction to tacos. Mexican immigrants brought tacos to the U.S. where they were initially seen as street food. According to who? Name your source. According to the AI Google research.
Get the fuck out of here.
I'm just saying, like, what are we talking about? Like tacos are street. Like it's a, it's a dish to be on the go. It's a fully encapsulated thing. The plate. It's not supposed to be in a strip mall in Kansas City.
I think you can find tacos anywhere.
I'm an optimist. You definitely can.
I'm an optimist.
