00:00It is a Chiefs Red Half Hour. Alex Gold, Cody Tapp, Drew Nixon with you on a Monday.
00:04We'll get to a quick video that everybody was talking about on Friday evening.
00:10It's true.
00:10And I think got people pretty excited.
00:12Plus what a former NFL team doctor had to say about said video and said status of one patch Mahomes.
00:19That's coming up in just a little bit.
00:20But you presented a scenario to us this morning about the Chiefs 2026 season.
00:25And it's one that you definitely can text in and ask about and comment about as well.
00:299-1-3-5-8-6-7-9-6-5.
00:31So tell them the scenario you mentioned to me this morning.
00:34I think it was just giving me a baseline of ceiling and floor.
00:38So I had asked the question, do you think it is more likely the Chiefs are the number one seed
00:44in the upcoming NFL season for the AFC?
00:47Or they missed the playoffs altogether?
00:50They're just straight up not a playoff team.
00:52So like we all understand that they're over under essentially puts them in the middle of those two camps.
00:56Putting them squarely is like the third or fourth best team likely in the AFC.
01:01And I, despite some of the real, and I do think very real questions of the Chiefs, there's some part
01:06of me that thinks the combination of Mahomes and all this other stuff and the way their schedule will start
01:11and the way the Chargers schedules will start and some of the other teams that might stand in their way.
01:15I think it might be more like, I genuinely think it's more likely they're the one seed than miss the
01:19playoffs altogether.
01:20Now, I don't think either are going to happen in fairness, but I do still think it's more likely they're
01:24the best team in all of the AFC.
01:27And that the teams who were riding at the top of the conference are not paper tigers, but certainly not
01:33as good as they were last year in Denver or the Chargers or some of these others.
01:38And that they could leapfrog a few of these teams, because I'm still not a big believer in the I've
01:42got questions about Bills and Ravens, too.
01:44Yeah, if I have to choose between these two, I'm on the opposite side of you.
01:48If I have to choose between that, they are more likely to be the number one seed or miss the
01:51playoffs.
01:52I would choose miss the playoffs.
01:53Like, yes, I think they're going to make the postseason, but I think it is way more likely that you
01:59only win nine games and you miss out on the playoffs than it is that suddenly they get to 13,
02:0414 wins this season and everything is back right to where it was in 2024.
02:09I just I'm not buying that, man.
02:12You kind of shouldn't be surprised by that answer, given my feeling just about this 2026 season compared to where
02:18they might be in 2027.
02:20I also just think there were plenty of years, guys, where we all agreed the Chiefs had everything rolling and
02:25they weren't a number one seed.
02:26It is very difficult to be a once in this division, too.
02:29In the AFC West, where the Broncos won 14 games, where we still think they're going to be in that
02:3310 to 12 win range, where the Chargers are going to probably be in the 10 to 12 win range.
02:37That means you're probably losing some games in your division.
02:40And we do know the schedule, as you said.
02:42Yes, it sets up very nicely in the first eight to 10 weeks, but they also have the Gotland on
02:47the back half.
02:47I don't think this schedule, even if you told me they corrected everything, and I don't think they have.
02:53The schedule doesn't allow them to get to the 14 wins that I think it takes to be number one
02:57seed in the National Football League.
02:58So, yeah, I think it's way more likely.
03:00In fact, they look up some odds real quick to miss the playoffs.
03:03They're only plus 180.
03:04So I know from an odd perspective as well, it is way more likely.
03:07What are they to win to be the number one?
03:09Not out yet.
03:09I look not out yet because that would certainly add fuel to the fight.
03:12Now, I'll say they've been the number one seed at least four times that I can count.
03:16So 2024, 2022, 2020, or three, I guess, at least in there.
03:21And I feel like there was one of those 12 win seasons when they were the number one, but maybe
03:25they were the two seed to go in there.
03:27Look, 13 is usually the baseline if you want to be the number one overall seed in the AFC.
03:33But, like, that's, I guess the part is, win totals would tell you there's only one team they think has
03:39a better chance of winning more games than the Chiefs.
03:41Some that are the same, but only one that has a better, and that's the Ravens.
03:44And I'll be honest, I still don't get that.
03:45I genuinely don't.
03:47Lamar has gotten worse two years in a row, and they have a brand new head coach.
03:50I, for the life of me, cannot understand why the Ravens have the number one win total in the AFC.
03:55It's fine.
03:55It is what it is.
03:56Obviously, Vegas probably knows more than I do, or money knows more than I do, and some of the big
04:00bettors going outside of that.
04:02That's an under that I'll most likely be betting.
04:04But when you look at where they were, it's like they do it about half the time.
04:08So, like, they don't miss the playoffs half the time, and the Mahomes here, they missed it once last year.
04:12They are statistically, in their history, more likely to be the number one overall seed than they are to miss
04:19the playoffs by a factor of four is another part of it.
04:22I just don't think they're missing the playoffs.
04:24Well, I think both are low probabilities.
04:25Neither do I.
04:26No, I know.
04:27But the number one seed, they can win the West, have a great year, and win 13 games, and it's
04:31still not good enough to be the number one seed.
04:33I don't have the number one seed odds on.
04:35I'm playing the odds game here with it.
04:37Like, and I know for a fact, odds-wise, I'm picking the bet that has better odds to hit.
04:43You know, and like, yeah, if you're just playing the math, the math says you, well, we don't know, but
04:47the math most likely says you're correct.
04:49The Chiefs are going to be longer than two to one to be the number one seed in the AFC.
04:54But sometimes it's like, I understand, like, the odds of it and the things that go with it because of,
04:58for a variety of reasons.
04:59But it doesn't mean, like, what I think is more likely to occur, and in this case, you know, and
05:05that's why, like, maybe it'd be a good bet, right?
05:06If I'm saying, eh, I think they're more likely to get the, like, I think there's a better chance they
05:11get the one seed than it.
05:12Well, then maybe I should be taking it at five to one or six to one or whatever the hell
05:16they end up being, probably in that range by the time it leads in there.
05:20I'm just going back through, and some of it's like, yeah, I do give them, I still give them the
05:23history bonus.
05:24One bad year will not buoy me, and you and I have said before, I don't view it as they've
05:29got to get from six wins to 13.
05:31That's a huge swing that is way better than normal.
05:35A seven-win swing.
05:35By the way, I found a probability index for what we're looking at.
05:38So a seven-win swing is massive.
05:39I think they were an eight- or nine-win team, and Mahomes got hurt.
05:43And so I view it as they've got to go from eight or nine wins to 13.
05:47I don't feel the jump as being a significant.
05:49I guess, but I'm just saying 13 doesn't guarantee you the number one seed.
05:52That's what I'm saying.
05:53They could have an amazing year, bounce right back.
05:56Everything can go right.
05:57They win the West, and 13 wins is only good for a two-seed.
06:01It's happened before.
06:02It's happened before.
06:03You know, from a probability standpoint, it just says 5.8% chance that the Chiefs are number one seed.
06:095.8% chance.
06:10There is more than a 5.8% chance they missed the playoffs.
06:13Well, I mean, based on the odds, plus 180 that they missed.
06:18That's way higher.
06:19Yeah.
06:19It's like a 30-something percent chance.
06:22And maybe we think that's too high, but that's just what the math is saying.
06:25I don't know.
06:25It's interesting.
06:26I think I'm with you where neither is likely to happen.
06:29I don't think you're saying you think they're going to be a one seed.
06:32I'm certainly not saying I think that it's the playoffs.
06:34No, I'm not predicting they're the one seed.
06:34But if I think some of this is just how we think the team is, I believe they're more of
06:38a wildcard team this year.
06:39So naturally, of course, I'm going to lean closer to the end of them.
06:42If I think they're a 5, 6, or 7 seed, well, then obviously, why would I bet that I think
06:46they're the one seed?
06:47Yeah, you think one or two things could go wrong and they could miss the playoffs versus one or two
06:50things go right and they don't necessarily become the number one seed.
06:53I mean, I would answer the same way for a lot of teams.
06:55Like, if you told me the same scenario, more likely that Cincinnati is a one seed or miss the playoffs,
07:00I would also say miss the playoffs.
07:02Who would you say one seed for?
07:04Buffalo?
07:06How could you not say for Buffalo they missed the playoffs in like a decade?
07:09I would say Buffalo, I would say Baltimore, even though they missed the playoffs last year.
07:12If Baltimore, I'd say miss the playoffs.
07:13Yeah, I think they're going to be much better on defense.
07:15Their defense is so freaking bad.
07:16I think they're going to be much better on defensively.
07:18I would say one other team, maybe, max.
07:23So in the Patrick Mahomes era.
07:24Like the Patriots, I know everybody's down on them.
07:26I still think they're making the playoffs.
07:27I would, you know what I mean?
07:29Sure.
07:30So in the Patrick Mahomes era, do you want to know the teams who are the one seed besides the
07:33Chiefs?
07:33Chiefs were it three times.
07:35Broncos last year, as you know, two years ago was the Baltimore Ravens.
07:38It's been the Ravens one other time, the Patriots in 2017, when it was still Tom Brady.
07:42And the only other team to be a one seed during that run, the Tennessee Titans in 2021, which is
07:49stupid and makes no sense.
07:51But other than that, it's been relatively predictable, gold.
07:53It has been the Chiefs three times and the Ravens twice.
07:56The Titans once and the Patriots when they had Tom Brady.
07:58So we can even throw out the Tom Brady here because, sorry, it's Tom Brady.
08:03Obviously different expectation, different standard, not Drake may since that time.
08:07It's either been the Chiefs or the Ravens, except for the one year it was randomly the Titans and the
08:12Denver Broncos who were it last year, who feel more one off than they're getting ready to rattle off a
08:18group of we're the number one seed category.
08:21And so, like, I think their competition might just be the Ravens.
08:24So maybe this comes down to me as I view the couple of teams.
08:28Denver, who I think is going to backslide a couple of games.
08:30I don't think they're a bad team, but they're going to backslide a couple of games.
08:32And Baltimore, who I just don't personally understand why everyone, like, and I'm not saying, like, for what you said
08:39is not inaccurate, but it is a big generalization in the, like, that'll just be better on defense.
08:45Yeah, probably, but how much better?
08:46Because typically, in my view, you can't be better, like, gaining 10 spots on defense is gaining a lot, which
08:53would make them, like, the 20th best defense.
08:55And Lamar has gotten worse.
08:56And the new head coach part.
08:57A lot of it is just the overall win total.
08:59I mean, like, last year, the Broncos, to get the one seed, it was 14 wins.
09:02In 2024, for the Chiefs, it was 14 wins.
09:04In 2023, when the Ravens were the one seed, it took 13.
09:07In 2022, it took 14.
09:09In 2021, it did take 12.
09:11So there's an outlier year there with the Tigers.
09:12They just had 12 that year.
09:13They just lost the tie break.
09:14It can happen.
09:14On average, it's 13 wins, usually 14 that it takes to be a one seed.
09:19And I just, that's, even when everything was right, it's tough for the Chiefs to get the 14 wins.
09:23That's all.
09:23Someone said, could Buffalo be a sleeper to miss the playoffs, new coach, pressure, et cetera?
09:27Okay, so I have questions about their roster, too.
09:30They, in the AFC, play in the second easiest.
09:33Healthy Josh Allen all year, if you give me that, then.
09:35Yeah, then they're going to make the playoffs.
09:36Of course, with all these injury changes, everything, yes.
09:39I mean, with any of these scenarios, you tell me Josh Allen misses two months.
09:43Well, then, yeah, they might.
09:44Well, Lamar Jackson, well, then the Chiefs might be the one seed, you know.
09:45And if the Chiefs lose, you know, have another big injury to a key, key piece like Mahomes,
09:49then, of course, then it's not going to bode well for their playoff chances.
09:53It's kind of a no-brainer at that point.
09:55But I just thought it was interesting.
09:56Take a look at it as we get to the offseason.
09:58OTA start, I think, next week for the Chiefs, as we'll continue.
10:01We will have good Chiefs items, by the way, in the Coding Gold Garage show.
10:04I was taking some pictures of some today.
10:06To get up on the website, Gold, there was a LeGerious knee jersey, which I've seen game-issued.
10:10Not game-worn.
10:11It didn't have any stains.
10:12Yeah, there was a player-issued jersey.
10:13But it was, like, stiffer, and, like, the sleeves were weird than just, like, a jersey people would.
10:18It's the player-issued ones.
10:19It came from the Chiefs directly to our company, so I've got to assume it's that.
10:24Plus, I took some pictures of that LRZ helmet, which Joshua Briscoe would still like to just figure out a
10:29donation point.
10:31He's got a bid as well.
10:32You think he's got a bid like everyone else?
10:33Yeah, absolutely.
10:34It's an authentic one, too.
10:35It's still got the tag on it.
10:37You're going to have to bid on it.
10:37An autographed Luis Reese Zammet helmet.
10:40Yeah.
10:40And it's, like, the good one.
10:42It's, like, the authentic helmet.
10:44It's way too nice.
10:46I should just bid on it.
10:46It becomes our Camp Darling helmet.
10:48We just have whoever the Camp Darling is just sign it every year.
10:50He definitely was in one year.
10:51Collection of Camp Darlings.
10:52I will say, I looked up.
10:53I tried to see if there was any other piece of autographed helmet memorabilia for Luis Reese Zammet available for
10:59sale.
10:59There was one green, so, like, the Salute to Service mini helmet available.
11:05And they were asking $100 on eBay, which is a lot for a mini helmet.
11:10They must think it's rare.
11:11I would agree with that.
11:13Yeah, there it is.
11:13I see it.
11:13Especially for a player who doesn't, who didn't play.
11:16Maybe you can talk them down, Cody.
11:17Get yourself a good deal.
11:18No, I want, I like, I like our helmet.
11:22No, that's a bit just like anybody else.
11:24Meanwhile, you had mentioned to start the show, or at least early on in the show, the Chiefs are in
11:28the market for a wide receiver.
11:30That, according to multiple reports, Jeremy Fowler included, we understood Tyreek.
11:34He gets on the list.
11:36I saw Iyuk on the list.
11:38I saw Keenan Allen.
11:39I saw some of the names that you would expect to see at wide receiver.
11:43And I guess my initial thought is, I still assume.
11:46I'm still at, like, 90% likelihood they'll sign one more defensive lineman and one more wide receiver.
11:51How far down the wide receiver and how far down the defensive lineman, that's the part I'm unsure about.
11:58Do I think they need a wide receiver?
12:00Yes.
12:00Do I think they'll sign a wide receiver?
12:02Yes.
12:02How far up the pecking order of the wide receiver?
12:06That's where I start to get confused.
12:08Is the smoke around a guy like Jawan Jennings or Brandon Ayuk or Keenan Allen or some of these other
12:14guys who get listed?
12:15Are those real?
12:17I mean, Jennings is in Minnesota now.
12:18Yeah, sorry.
12:19But they wanted to sign him.
12:22Yes.
12:22Gotcha.
12:23Sorry.
12:23At the time, they wanted to sign Jennings.
12:25Are those things real?
12:26Or is it just they're going to sign Scotty Miller?
12:29And we've been wasting our time talking about, like, receivers whose name you remember.
12:35You know?
12:35And that's kind of where I'm torn on the Chiefs.
12:37Because I think it's fairly obvious they need a wide receiver.
12:39They're going to bring somebody in.
12:41It is, yeah.
12:42Is it the Tyreek kill type?
12:43Type, he's the obvious one for the connection that he has to the city and the team and maybe the
12:49rapport already with Patrick Mahomes and all that.
12:51So he's the easy one if the knee is right.
12:54And that's still a huge question for him.
12:57I also think, you know, Stephon Diggs is mentioned by Albert Breer in the report over the weekend.
13:02He would fall closer to the class of Tyreek Hill in terms of, like, a guy that could be a
13:06difference maker potentially if he's right on your team.
13:09Versus Keenan Allen, while he had a nice year for the Chargers,
13:11he's more likely to just be a random dude that gets a couple snaps a week, in my opinion.
13:18He's not getting snaps, or should he, nor should he, over Xavier Worthy or Rasheed Rice.
13:23And I wouldn't want him getting snaps over Taequann Thornton even.
13:25So that would be, is he accepting, is that the role that somebody like Keenan Allen would want?
13:29You bring in a Tyreek Hill or Stephon Diggs, those guys are getting more snaps than Taequann Thornton.
13:34Those guys are pushing Xavier Worthy.
13:35They might get more than Xavier, yeah, that's what to say.
13:37And that's, I guess that's always kind of the dilemma.
13:39But also, I don't want their offense to stink.
13:42So, like, the truth is, going into a year and saying Rasheed Rice and Xavier Worthy are your 1-2,
13:46I don't love it.
13:47I don't love, how can I?
13:49No offense, but Rasheed Rice hasn't been, he hasn't played a full season in three years.
13:53And Xavier Worthy's never had more than 650 yards.
13:56So, like, it is awfully difficult for me to go into a season and be like, yeah, that'll do it.
14:00It might, it doesn't have a 0% success probability because Xavier Worthy has, over his last 12 games, went
14:09on the field, this is a huge caveat, went on the field and playing, Xavier Worthy paces like a 1
14:15,200-yard wide receiver.
14:16Two pretty big caveats there on the other end.
14:19But then Xavier Worthy has never taken the step.
14:21But lots of wide receivers take the step in year three.
14:24Not an uncommon year.
14:25Alec Pierce or some of these others.
14:27800, 900 yards.
14:28He's a first-round pick.
14:29He's fast.
14:30Maybe the offense will be better positioned because they have a running game.
14:34All of those things could assist it.
14:36But it still is not something I want to just go into the season banking on.
14:39The real question is, if they signed, if they were going to go upper tier for what's available, keep in
14:46mind.
14:46Upper tier for what's available.
14:47If they were going to spend more money, would you still rather be on the defensive line or wide receiver?
14:51Defensive line.
14:51Okay.
14:51So, like, if it's Cam Jordan or Tyree Kill and the other one is Scotty Miller or some defensive lineman
14:56you never heard of, which one would you rather?
14:57They need more help on the defensive line than they actually do in the wide receiver room.
15:00I know people are very down on Worthy.
15:03I'm more optimistic, of course, on him.
15:04So, that's why I answered that way.
15:05I also think, well, I like what they did in the draft on the defensive line.
15:10I want a veteran that can produce in 2026 on the D-line to get after the quarterback.
15:15I'm not convinced they have that.
15:17Opposite, Karloftis.
15:18And, of course, Chris Jones is there.
15:20Peter Woods, we'll see.
15:21He's an interior guy.
15:22You know, our Mason Thomas or whatever, he's a rotational piece.
15:25I would like Cam Jordan to help him along, buy them some time there as the season goes along.
15:31And Cam Jordan's still out there.
15:32I don't know if the Chiefs are going to sign him or not.
15:34But, yes, if I could only sign Cam Jordan or Tyree Kill, Cam Jordan easily is my answer.
15:38But this is where, like, the Tyree, the Cam Jordan thing, that matters on both sides.
15:42They need, they kind of both need wide receiver and defensive end to be early helpers, not late helpers.
15:48Like, they don't need Tyree Kill to come in in November and help them.
15:50They kind of need somebody to, like, help them get the season started.
15:53Mahomes coming back, we're figuring out the run game, a little more time for Worthy and Rice and everybody kind
16:00of get on the same page together.
16:02I kind of feel like they need more of a right now wide receiver, the same way you think they
16:06need a right now defensive end.
16:09And so, like, just, and that's, I'll be honest, even though I didn't have much interest last year and he's
16:13a year older,
16:14that's why if Keenan Allen will take the cheapest possible deal, that's about the right fit for this year's team.
16:21Hey, you're reliable, I don't care if you get hurt later or anything else, like, you're reliable-ish now, you
16:27can help the unit.
16:28I don't need you to get through 17 games.
16:30By then I hope to have the whole thing up and operational and the whole system going.
16:34You can take up some early snaps and then we'll settle in.
16:36He probably hit 800 yards last year.
16:38I just want to, he did, 777.
16:42I, yeah, I would be fascinated to know if he would accept the role that I think he should have,
16:48though, right?
16:49And I don't know what the Chiefs think he should have, but, like.
16:50I think he should, he had, he had 122 targets.
16:53That's crazy.
16:54I don't, I mean, it needs to be half of that.
16:57It needs to be 70.
16:57I don't know if it needs to be half.
16:58What did you get last year?
17:01That was also a year in which they had, Xavier Worthy hurt, though, so the numbers are going to be
17:04a little missing.
17:05Yeah, they'll be a little.
17:06But I don't know, are you pulling it up?
17:07Yeah, I'm looking it up now.
17:09Ooh, only 45.
17:10Yeah.
17:10What did Hollywood Brown have?
17:12You know, there are snaps to him.
17:13My point is, I don't want, if it is somebody like Keenan Allen that they bring in, it needs to
17:18be 70 targets or so.
17:20That's, that's maximum.
17:21Hollywood Brown had 74 targets.
17:24There you go.
17:25Okay.
17:25So when I looked, the wide receiver room currently, beyond the first three, has less experience than the Raiders wide
17:33receiver room does.
17:34If you look at their number three or number four and number five wide receivers and Jalen Royals and Icaro
17:39Mijio, they combine for three career receptions.
17:42That's less experience than the Raiders have.
17:44I know that the room's not as good because the Chiefs room is better than the Raiders.
17:48But in terms of who you have available, for the amount of shotgun that they play, unless they want to
17:54line Travis up at wide receiver, I suppose, they're going to have to add a wide receiver in some way,
17:58shape, or form.
17:59So I think I would take the wide receiver over the edge at this point, just based on the experience
18:03or lack thereof that they've got beyond Taekwondo.
18:06Yeah, I hear you.
18:07I guess I'm just not, you're definitely right on the production part.
18:09They're completely unproven after Taekwondo.
18:12And the Chiefs have shown that they don't trust those guys either because they haven't played.
18:15Right.
18:15I guess my only thing is like, if we're talking about like the fourth receiver, at that point, I just,
18:19in an offense that has Tyreek, that has Travis Kelsey as technically a wide receiver as well.
18:23I just, I'm not concerned though that they have to bring in an experienced fourth wide receiver.
18:29Like that does it, that to me is not going to have as big of an impact as breaking in
18:31a Cam Jordan.
18:33It probably, in an individual game, it might not, but it's also just like, it offers you a lot more
18:37protection.
18:38This just goes back to the draft strategy, which is, I did everything to help the defense.
18:42Maybe help the offense too.
18:43It's been the worst unit for three years.
18:45So you guys spend, we have spent all the draft picks on defense.
18:47And then now the only remaining large contract they have available has got to go to defense too.
18:52Part of me is like, well, you could do something to help the offense.
18:55And I wouldn't mind like some assistance, at least on that.
18:57They bring Insta-Fondage, you'll see Cardi B maybe.
18:59It's not surprising me, Drew.
19:01They were fighting outside a restaurant the last time I saw a video of them like a week or so
19:05ago.
19:06I will say they got the list of potential wide receivers that people mentioned is just like, who's had an
19:10off-field problems?
19:11Fondage, Tyree Killer on field problem.
19:13Ayuk, Debo might be the only one.
19:15He's got more health problems than anything else.
19:18It's just like, yeah, they're stuck in a weird spot.
19:20Look, I'm not surprised you're like, they got no experience.
19:22Yeah, they spent like 58 cents on their entire wide receiver crew combined.
19:26They're paying no one.
19:28Taequann Thornton's the highest paid wide receiver on the team.
19:31Well, yeah, because he's on a rookie contract, yeah.
19:34Yeah, and he's making two million bucks or something.
19:36He's not even making any real money.
19:38How much does Taequann make?
19:39He's the highest paid wide receiver on the team.
19:40It's a very cheap wide receiver room right now, the way it's set up.
19:44I ain't got to look it up.
19:45Now I'm curious.
19:45Two years for 11.
19:46He's making more.
19:47He's making five and a half.
19:48This year's cap is three.
19:49He's actually 3.5 this year.
19:51And he's still the highest cap hit, I assume, right?
19:53I don't have the other receivers pulled up.
19:55I'm guessing pretty close, yeah.
19:57The only one possibility would be the first round, your first pick.
20:00Xavier Worthy.
20:01Yeah, because of just first round contract.
20:02Xavier Worthy might be making more.
20:04I take it back.
20:05Oh, a shout-out to Xavier Worthy.
20:08He's friends with the flag football coach of my nephew's team.
20:11He was out at the game yesterday.
20:12He was super cool with all the kids there.
20:13He was signing autographs and taking photos with the kids there,
20:17watching some flag football in Kansas City.
20:18So that was pretty cool for them.
20:21Of course, the kids love that.
20:22And he was great with them.
20:24That's very cool.
20:25Yeah.
20:25This year, he is making more this year, not total contract, for the next two.
20:29He is making $3.7 million.
20:32Taequann Thornton's making $3.5 million.
20:33Okay, there's our answer.
20:35So you're just friends with the coach and hanging out with the kids, huh?
20:37He is, yeah.
20:38Yeah, he knows the coach pretty well.
20:39And he can try to race him, you know?
20:41I was not there.
20:42This is all I was told.
20:42I was shown photos and stuff.
20:44And he was, I guess, great with all of them and took photos with the team.
20:49Didn't go to your nephew's flag football game?
20:50Not yesterday, no.
20:51Can't make every single sporting event for a kid.
20:53The amount of sporting events that between the three nephews they have is absolutely insane.
20:56I don't know how my brother-in-law and sister navigate that.
20:59It's absolutely absurd on Sundays.
21:01It's a lot between just my two.
21:03Crazy.
21:04He just wrapped up his basketball season or whatever.
21:07There was only like six games.
21:08He doesn't play again until July.
21:09And I'm like, thank God.
21:10He doesn't play again.
21:12Or June.
21:12He plays in June.
21:13Like mid-June or something.
21:14Yeah.
21:15He gets back in action.
21:16Did have his best game, though.
21:17There you go.
21:17Put up eight points.
21:20I'm like, hey.
21:22In a game in which they scored their most points as a team, they scored like 30.
21:25Okay.
21:26Which is a lot when you play four, six-minute quarters and nobody can dribble.
21:31Yeah.
21:31Except for my kid.
21:32They, I will say, we played one game.
21:34We played, it was like eight games goal.
21:36It was really funny.
21:37It was like six or eight games total for the year.
21:39And in every single game, they just allow the kids some variance and like, hey, dribble
21:43when they're not dribbling.
21:44Right?
21:44They're like, hey, it's fine.
21:46Nobody calls anything.
21:47But there'll be kids wind sprinting and like, no, please dribble.
21:50They just let him get away with it.
21:51We had one random game where every time they traveled like that, he called the one ref.
21:56And all the kids were like, huh?
21:58Like, he just straight up calling it every time.
22:00It's like, these kids, just let them.
22:02It's fine.
22:03Who cares?
22:03I want to see you ref one of those games.
22:05I don't want to.
22:06Yeah.
22:06You should get out there and start refereeing or coaching.
22:08There's no reffing.
22:08You just, you just, like, all you have to remember is when to make them sub.
22:12And my kid's team only has five or six players on it.
22:15So they barely sub at all.
22:17My kid, two weeks ago, they had no additional players.
22:19He played the entire 24 minutes.
22:21Just wind sprinted the entire time.
22:23It's crazy.
22:24Some of the kids, some of the teams have 12 teams, 12 players.
22:27Horse has six.
22:29Doesn't make any sense.
22:30I don't understand.
22:30You guys need some more, some more kids to play.
22:32Nah, more playing time.
22:33It's fine.
22:33They like it that way probably anyway.
