You probably guessed we’d start the show with the first-place Royals, but hopefully you didn’t guess what we’d say about them.

The questions hit on sports and politics, how we put the show together, who the Chiefs should draft, and a weird story from Canada.

The third section is a look into what makes Tyrann Mathieu go.

Please listen to new episodes every Friday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.
