"Rep It Hard" episode 188 · DMV Mess Hall

0:00
Hi folks, this is Rick Doc. Walker the DOC this.
0:03
Is John Kime and you're listening to the mess hall with
0:05
Rally Captain and Tailgate 10. What's going on, Rally?
0:10
You ready for some of that good KC BBQ man?
0:13
You know, Ted, I'm ready for some KC BBQ to put in people's
0:17
mouths so that they can get off this pity party that they're on.
0:21
You know, football is football, brother.
0:24
And the fact of the matter is, should Kansas City win?
0:28
Of course. But will they win?
0:30
We don't know. We just don't know.
0:33
I've been in games where we didn't have a chance and we won.
0:37
And that's what I'm going to leave it at that.
0:40
Let's get this show rolling. I hear you, man.
0:43
I just today's been a tough one, right?
0:45
It's Wednesday the 22nd, We're recording this, and all I kept
0:49
hearing about on the radio was Jaden's ribs and how he's injury
0:55
prone and, you know, just chalk the season up, It's over.
1:00
You know, just pack your bags. Who cares anymore?
1:02
And it's just honestly, hearing about ribs made me hungry.
1:05
It made me think about Kansas City.
1:07
So I'm thinking, do I get some beef ribs?
1:09
Do I get some pork ribs? Like, what do I do?
1:11
I mean, you've been out there before, so I'm looking forward
1:14
to, you know, obviously. Yeah, both.
1:16
I mean, we're getting there on Saturday.
1:18
So you know, have a smorgasbord one day and go for the next
1:21
thing the next day. That's right, brother.
1:24
Before we get into the game, I actually had some people asking.
1:27
Actually, one guy said, I live in Kansas City.
1:29
This is the first I'm hearing about a rally.
1:31
It's like, OK, well, you should know that if there's an away
1:34
game, obviously the rally captain's going to hold it down.
1:38
So you said I surprised you last week asking about the details of
1:42
where it was. How about this week?
1:43
You know where we're going to be going hanging out.
1:46
I know where we're going to be going, but I can't read it
1:48
because my screen is too small. So I always defer to you to read
1:51
it, but I can't tell you. It's a chicken and pickle on the
1:54
north side of Kansas City. And we got the venue and we're
1:59
going to have legends, We're going to have giveaways.
2:02
And all that's mission is not you per SE, but other our
2:06
listeners. So I honestly this I was
2:09
surprised at the location, right?
2:11
Because I don't think a lot of people know about chicken and
2:14
pickle unless you play pickleball.
2:16
So chicken and pickle is actually a pickleball facility
2:20
that serves food. Obviously chicken and the
2:23
pickle, you know, they got Pickles and stuff like that,
2:25
like food wise, but the Pickles for pickleball.
2:27
And it's at 1761 Burlington St., North Kansas City.
2:31
It's on Sunday from 5:30 to seven.
2:35
Wait A. Minute.
2:36
Say that. Say that again.
2:37
What day is it, Ted? Sunday, not Saturday, it is on
2:41
Sunday because the game is on Monday.
2:42
Rally always holds the rally on the eve of the game, not two
2:47
days prior. So it's on Sunday the 26th from
2:50
5:30 to 7:00. There's going to be free
2:52
giveaways while they last. You get to win a, a chance to
2:55
win a signed item. And you mention, you know,
2:57
legends coming by and all the proceeds are going to go to the
3:00
American Red Cross. So I'm excited about that in
3:03
particular. My only problem is I actually
3:06
had Missus T call Chicken and pickle because I'm trying to
3:11
find a way to play some pickleball when I'm out there.
3:13
I was going to bring my gear with me.
3:15
They don't have what's called open play.
3:17
Open play is basically for those that don't put pickleball.
3:21
It's like pick up basketball. You just, you just go in with
3:25
some strangers and you go. Hang up.
3:26
Yeah. The problem is Chicken and
3:28
Pickle doesn't have open play on Sunday.
3:30
They only have it on Saturday morning from 7:00 to 9:00 in the
3:33
morning. I'm not going to be there in
3:34
time. So if you guys are listening to
3:36
this and you guys do play, let me know because that means I'm
3:40
going to bring my gear and bring it out.
3:43
We'll have a good time. But regardless, it's a cool
3:46
spot. It'll be fun.
3:48
You guys. If you do want to get into it
3:49
for the first time, you can actually rent courts when you're
3:52
out there. I saw some spots that are still
3:54
available to reserve and it's just going to be fun to be
3:56
amongst all the burgundy and gold, right?
3:59
You had mentioned that all the hotels, everything were sold
4:02
out. I do think that there's going to
4:03
be a lot of us going out there. I'm seeing a ton of people on
4:06
social media saying, hey, I'm going to Kansas City.
4:09
Where's the Skins tailgate at? Guys, I hate to break it to you,
4:13
I got no idea. I'm going to a Chief's tailgate.
4:15
I'm not going to a Skins tailgate.
4:17
I don't know if you got a spot though.
4:18
So so here's the deal. What normally happens is this
4:21
because we have fans of around the globe and if we even have
4:27
fans in Kansas City, yes, we do. At the rally.
4:32
Normally what happens is someone comes to me either at the rally
4:36
or before the rally, and I'll make an announcement of where
4:40
the tailgate will be. Now, like Ted said, if you live
4:44
in Kansas City, you may not know that we're having a rally.
4:48
That's why we're talking about it right now.
4:50
And I'm going to do some radio spots to get it well publicized
4:54
because we know that they broadcast commanders
4:56
information. So with that being said, I know
5:01
that this is going to be a huge rally simply because Kansas City
5:05
is one of those teams that we don't play very often.
5:07
I think the last time we played in was 2016 in Kansas City.
5:11
So I was there. And if if everybody remembers,
5:16
that's the game that we almost won with Josh Dachshund dropping
5:21
the pass in the end zone, perfect pass.
5:24
The week before he caught the no yes, he caught the he he missed
5:29
that pass in Kansas City. And then we went to Seattle and
5:33
he caught that pass, putting us in range to score a touchdown.
5:37
So Josh Dachshund, he truly was, you know, the agony of defeat.
5:44
So. But he redeemed himself the week
5:46
after. Or I could have it backwards,
5:49
but nevertheless. It's been a while since we've
5:51
been out there. It was the last time we played
5:53
them was on Monday Night Football and October 2nd, 2017.
5:59
We lost 29 to 20. Yep, Yep.
6:03
And so the fact of the matter is everyone and their mom is going
6:08
to be there. And yes, this is kid friendly.
6:10
We're going to be on a rooftop chicken.
6:13
And pickle to put some leggings on this time.
6:16
No, I don't have to do that. Thank goodness that I'll never
6:20
forget walking to that place and my my eyes lit up.
6:22
All right, But the rooftop is gorgeous.
6:25
We're going to be, like I said, all around the whole venue.
6:29
I can't wait to see you guys there.
6:31
We've got DJ Naughty Boy on the ones and twos.
6:34
He DJ the rally in Atlanta if you were there.
6:37
So hey, look, it's up to you guys to show up and show out
6:41
because Chicken and Pickle basically says we don't think
6:45
that you have the juice to bring all those people here.
6:47
And I said I can show you better than I can tell you So.
6:52
And I'm hoping that my reputation continues to flourish
6:56
and we bring a lot of people in Burgundy and gold to Chicken
7:01
Pickle on Sunday night. Yeah, man, I'm looking at this
7:04
rooftop. It is absolutely beautiful,
7:07
right? It just the entire place, the
7:09
entire venue. They've got cornhole boards.
7:11
They've got like giant Tic Tac. It's just having the DJ there.
7:15
It's just going to be such a fun time.
7:16
And I'm looking at this menu. They got smoked wings, they got
7:20
fried Pickles, they got some deviled eggs.
7:23
I'm going to have one of each, right?
7:25
This is just I cannot wait to get out there.
7:27
It's going to be my first Rd. game for the season and I'm just
7:31
looking forward to, you know, finally going on an SB events
7:33
trip. So it's it's going to be fun,
7:35
man. And last show you talked about
7:37
cake without icing, right? We're not even going to talk
7:39
about the game yet, right? Game is the game.
7:42
To me, this weekend is about hanging out with our Burgundy
7:47
and gold brothers and sisters and having a good time, right?
7:50
And Monday will handle itself. We have no control over what
7:54
happens on Monday. We have no control over who's
7:56
going to play, how they're going to play, what's going to happen
7:59
during that game. All we can't control is how much
8:01
fun we have prior to that. And best believe we're going to
8:04
have a damn good time when we're out there.
8:06
Oh definitely. And that's what I try to tell
8:08
people. If you're if you are coming
8:10
solely just for the game, then you're going to be upset
8:13
possibly. But if you're coming to take in
8:16
the food, meet new people that possibly you've only interacted
8:20
with through the Internet and see new things, then that's what
8:25
the trip is all about. That's what the trip is all
8:29
about guys. And like you said, Ted Monday is
8:33
going to take care of itself. You control what you control.
8:37
Going a different place, seeing a new stadium, meeting new
8:41
friends, trying new food and hey, hanging out with the rally
8:44
captain and tailgate Ted. There you go man, what more
8:47
could you ask for? A couple of legends maybe.
8:50
I mean, that's true, right? We, so we don't know which
8:53
legends. You don't know which legends are
8:54
going to show up. I just do know from past rallies
8:57
you have hosted, Tana has been there, B Mitch has been there.
9:01
And I do know, I think that London has stopped by in the
9:04
past. And Speaking of B Mitch, in
9:06
London, Brian Mitchell and London Fletcher have advanced in
9:11
the Hall of Fame consideration. So let's see the Modern era
9:17
player screening committee. They submitted 50 individuals
9:22
who are up for consideration. So B Mitch and London are part
9:25
of that fifty. The Next up is the semi final
9:30
vote, which isn't going to happen.
9:31
It's actually going to dwindle that down to 25 players.
9:35
So in regards to special teams, B Mitch is the only special
9:39
teams player that was nominated. I mean, OK, if you want to talk
9:43
about Adam Vinatieri, Gary Anderson, you know, Shane
9:47
Leckler, A punter and a kicker, fine.
9:50
But B Mitch was the only special teamer that was in there.
9:53
And then from a linebacker perspective, it's London
9:55
Fletcher, James Harrison, Luke Kuechly and Terrell sucks and
10:00
not going to get into stats and everything else.
10:04
To me, London and B should be in by now, right?
10:08
And I'm hoping this means that come August next year, we're all
10:12
going to be partying up in Canton and finding a place to
10:14
rally up there to support B in London once they actually get
10:19
in. Yeah, that sounds great to me,
10:21
man. I I can't.
10:23
Once again, I can't wait. And once again, guys, life is
10:26
what you make it. You put your own strawberry on
10:31
top of it and have fun with it. And we know that if B Mitch will
10:36
not if, but when he gets in, we're going to party like Prince
10:40
says, 1999 that's. Going to be a damn good time,
10:43
man. I I just fingers crossed because
10:46
they deserve it. I actually, you know what?
10:47
I'm going to bust out my B Mitch Hall of Fame T-shirt for the
10:50
rally man and just go from there because it just it's a crime to
10:54
me that you there's no Devin Hester without a Brian Mitchell.
10:58
It's just some of these players that are in over our guys.
11:02
I do feel some of it was discrimination against the team,
11:05
partially because of who our owner was and partially because
11:08
some of the backlash about the name.
11:11
Those things have changed, right?
11:13
The negative connotation when it comes to Washington is gone now
11:17
that's. A new day.
11:19
So these guys have these voters, hopefully, you know, they do
11:23
what they need to. And honestly guys, it's going to
11:25
be on us too once it gets closer to make sure we let people hear
11:30
why they deserve to be in. The only reason why Art got in
11:32
finally after he got in was because of the fan push back to
11:36
make sure that they understood that Art was super deserving and
11:39
for him to get in. When Daryl got in, I don't know
11:42
a lot of us that were up there, but I was there that day, man,
11:46
we took over Canton, right? That entire place was burgundy
11:49
and gold through and through, and I can only imagine what it
11:52
would be if Fletch and B actually got in the same time
11:55
too, because best be sure it'd be a repeat.
11:58
Oh man, Can you imagine that? But hey, we'll let that.
12:04
We'll let that simmer. We got a game to talk about,
12:07
brother. Yeah, man, let's let's jump into
12:10
it, right. So yeah, I was a little annoyed
12:13
when I heard the news that Jayden is officially out for the
12:18
game. And the reason why I'm saying
12:21
that is it's only Wednesday. The team had today off.
12:25
Typically Tuesday is their off day.
12:28
But because we play on Monday, Wednesday is the off day.
12:31
They don't actually practice until Thursday.
12:33
So there was no need to say anything, right?
12:36
To me, it's part of the gamesmanship to not actually let
12:39
the Chiefs know who to prepare for, right?
12:42
Yes, Jaden has to show up on an injury report.
12:44
He could have been ADNP on the injury report, no hamstring.
12:49
But they came out, I think it was Ian Rappaport or Chef or one
12:53
of the two, you know, talking NFL heads said he's officially
12:57
out. And then JP and a couple other
13:01
media guys are saying, you know what, it's actually a good thing
13:03
that it came out this early because it gives Mariota just
13:07
100% of the reps of practice. From my perspective, Marcus was
13:11
going to get all the reps anyway, right?
13:14
You didn't have to say something right now if there was a chance
13:18
because DQ did say it was a minor hamstring.
13:23
I mean, let's see if I can play that clip of DQ talking about
13:28
Jaden's injury from the other day.
13:31
If I can find it latest on I'll add it in here.
13:37
I just want. To well, I think it's I think
13:39
it's a good thing that they went ahead and announced it.
13:41
Stop playing. Nope, there's no need for any
13:42
games we played. We don't want to continue to to
13:45
talk about it in the in the media coverage.
13:47
So Mariota is the guy now, obviously what they're going to
13:50
say is, well, if it's a minor sprain and why aren't you
13:55
allowing him to play or whatever have you?
13:56
Because he's our franchise. See, I, I would be like Bill
14:01
Belichick, real short and sweet. He's our franchise quarterback.
14:04
No need to let him play next. I already.
14:07
Answered already answered next. For those that mentioned, this
14:10
is what DQ said. Jayden had an MRI on his
14:13
hamstring today. Good news.
14:15
Not significant or long term, but I don't know the status for
14:19
Monday night just yet. So not significant.
14:22
Those two words together gave some fans some hope.
14:27
And I understand what you're saying, right?
14:29
Just, you know, give Mariota, you know, all those reps,
14:32
everything else, stop playing games.
14:34
To me, it's part of gamesmanship, right?
14:36
I I like how hockey does it where they just say it's a lower
14:39
body injury, It's an upper body injury.
14:42
The NFL gets super specific about it.
14:44
And I remember, I want to say it was B or someone else in alumni
14:47
saying how they don't actually, some of them would never tell
14:51
the trainers that they were hurt because the other team would
14:54
look at the injury report and then go after that specific part
14:58
of you that was hurt, right? I mean, let's just be real.
15:01
Everyone wants to get an advantage.
15:03
We're 11 1/2 point dogs now. I think it opened up at 9.
15:07
Now that it's official that Jaden's out at 11 1/2, we need
15:12
every advantage we can get. So if it meant that the Chiefs
15:15
were going to have to prepare potentially for some of Jaden
15:18
because they only get so much practice time.
15:20
So if it meant that they're going to have to potentially
15:22
prepare for Jaden and Mariota and split their focus to a
15:26
degree, I would have liked that focus to be split as long as
15:30
possible, right? Because there have been times
15:33
where DQ did not say anything. I mean, the last time Jayden got
15:35
banged up, we didn't know until Friday, but he wasn't going to
15:38
play. We know until Friday that he
15:39
wasn't going to make the flight out to LA for that Chargers
15:42
game. So saying it now to me felt a
15:45
little premature, but there's obviously some kind of logic
15:47
behind it. I just wish we would have kept
15:49
it under wraps a little bit longer.
15:53
Hey, it goes back to Rigo. I'm running a ball over there.
15:58
Stop me. Like you said, money's going to
16:02
take care of itself. I don't want to deal with it.
16:05
They don't want to deal with the questions.
16:07
Get it out in the open right now, and hopefully we'll see the
16:10
young man. And next week when we play.
16:15
See. Not this.
16:16
Yeah. Seattle.
16:17
No. Yeah, Seattle.
16:20
We got the Seahawks. I mean, honestly, I'm I'm
16:23
getting we talked last pod about some of the fan base just
16:30
driving me personally crazy right.
16:32
So listen to the radio today. People are calling in saying the
16:36
season's done. Just pack it up, just give up.
16:40
I I tweeted out just because of what someone replied back to me
16:43
with right. This guy sent me a message
16:46
saying just put him in season ending IR.
16:49
There isn't anything to play for.
16:51
It's Week 8, right? We're three and four.
16:55
It's Week 8 and you've got some of the fan base that are already
16:58
giving up. I just, I don't understand how a
17:03
these people can call themselves fans.
17:06
Right. There are how many more weeks
17:09
left? Right, and you're jumping off
17:11
the ship already. There are 10 games left in this
17:13
season. Can you believe that?
17:16
Right, 10 games left in the season.
17:17
We wait all offseason long for football.
17:21
We finally have it back and now you're ready just to say I'm
17:25
done. How can you actually call
17:28
yourself a fan? Right?
17:30
And last time I checked, there are 52 other guys on this
17:33
roster. Are you just a Jaden fan or you
17:36
not a Washington fan? Do you not care about anyone
17:39
else on the team? Do you not care about how the
17:40
team does or do you only care about 5 for whatever reason?
17:44
And don't get me wrong, I want Jaden to be healthy.
17:47
I I want him to be out there. But realistically there are
17:51
other guys on this team on this roster that deserve to have
17:55
their backs taken care of as well by this fan base, right?
17:58
You guys are just jumping ship and it's a vocal minority in my
18:02
opinion. But if you look at my timeline,
18:05
it looks like a majority. Yeah, they're chirping, they're
18:09
chirping. But what's my trademark saying?
18:12
Which is trademark, by the way? You Rep it hard or you don't Rep
18:18
it at all. And I got to tell you, you guys
18:22
aren't repping it hard because as I said, I'm the captain.
18:26
I'll go down with the ship and that's how I feel.
18:28
And I'm going to be honest with you guys as much as you.
18:31
I want you to be honest with me. I got faith in the burgundy and
18:36
gold. I'm not saying they're going to
18:38
win or they're going to lose. I just got faith in the burgundy
18:40
and gold, and they're going to put the best product on the
18:43
field to handle the Kansas City Chiefs.
18:47
That's how I feel. To me, I I don't want to give it
18:51
away. I don't think we're going to win
18:52
this game, right? OK.
18:54
I don't think that we should pack up and just not even play
18:57
the game. I got people replying.
18:59
One guy, I don't even want to say their name on Twitter, but
19:01
one guy said just let Terry and Devo rest another week.
19:04
We need to win versus Seattle or the season's done right?
19:08
You have 17 games in the season. That's it.
19:12
So you're just going to automatically forfeit this game?
19:15
You just don't even want to show up?
19:16
And I know EB from the Junkies was joking when he said just
19:18
don't even fly out there, just keep the team home, right?
19:21
Just get forfeit, huh? Just forfeit.
19:23
Exactly. Yeah, Just, you know, call out
19:26
sick and just give the Chiefs the win, right.
19:28
And yes, the Chiefs are rolling now.
19:30
They're four and three, right? We're three and four.
19:33
OK. If we go to three and five,
19:35
yeah, it's going to suck, right? It's a possibility that's going
19:39
to happen. But I do appreciate Al Goldie
19:42
setting this tweet out. And I do miss Al Goldie.
19:44
He used to do like go go Wednesdays on 9.
19:47
Oh yeah. Go.
19:47
Go. Thursday, Go.
19:48
Go Thursdays. OK, so I'll put this out and it
19:52
says a struggling Washington team starting a backup
19:55
quarterback against the team with a high-powered offense on
19:58
the road on Monday Night Football in late October.
20:02
And it's a picture of Colt McCoy.
20:03
All right, and. I get it, guys, the odds are
20:08
stacked against us to win this game, but to give up before
20:13
they've even flipped a coin and then to give up on the entire
20:18
season in week 8? I mean rally, you're right, man,
20:22
I I wish that they just didn't wrap it at all because to me
20:24
it's embarrassing, right? It's embarrassing for the it's
20:28
an embarrassing look for the fan base because I'm sorry, I'm
20:30
going to say it. You guys aren't fans.
20:33
Just because one guy went down, you're not going to support the
20:36
team anymore. You're not a fan.
20:37
You're not a fan of the team. You care more about your fantasy
20:40
football team, who maybe you drafted Jaden, then you do about
20:43
the actual team. Well, this reminds me of how
20:49
often do you date? Because you sound like you see a
20:56
fine looking woman and you say, well I can't talk to her, I
21:00
can't talk to her. I I bet I better go home.
21:05
Hey, you don't know what could happen once you say hello.
21:09
So come on, guys, don't pack it up.
21:12
Is there there's, there's there's 17 games for a reason
21:16
for a reason, you know, so let it play out.
21:22
And if we don't win, we don't win.
21:26
But you live to fight another day.
21:29
You do. There are going to be games that
21:32
we are going to win. And here's the thing about the
21:35
NFL Football Association, Football League, whatever you
21:39
want to call it. The same thing that happens to
21:43
us can happen to other teams. And we left into the playoffs
21:48
and we know how it can go. Yeah, I say it playoffs because
21:51
it can happen. It can, you know?
21:56
So just let it play out, guys. Don't give up just yet.
22:00
It just I wish the ones that would give up would just give
22:03
up, right, Just go silent, right.
22:05
I guess. I mean, I got a guy here that
22:08
message well, you know, tweeted back saying he is injury and
22:12
fumble prone. Time to start thinking about a
22:14
new quarterback. Really, this Donk is giving up
22:19
on Jaden Daniels who took us to the NFC Championship game last
22:23
year, was the rookie of the year and because he had two fumbles
22:29
and got hurt again, you want to draft someone else now, right?
22:34
It just I I hate even giving this guy any light but that's
22:40
some in this fan base. The thought process.
22:44
And I just So what I'm hoping is those of you out there that are
22:51
positive, I'm not saying being a blind Homer, I didn't think we
22:54
were going to win last weekend. I picked up the news against the
22:56
Cowboys. Just being realistic, I don't
22:58
think we're going to win this week, but to just say some are
23:03
saying tank the season for a draft pick in Week 8, right?
23:08
It's like these people have never faced adversity before in
23:11
their life. As I said, they won't.
23:15
They're afraid to talk to the fine girl at at the club or the
23:18
grocery store or whatever have you, because you think she's out
23:20
of your league. But you, if you don't give it a
23:22
shot, of course, you'll never get anywhere.
23:25
So you know, that's the difference between yes and no.
23:29
It's definitely a no if you don't say anything.
23:32
So if you just go ahead and don't even show up, then you you
23:34
automatically took AL. But guess what?
23:37
Mahomes strap, he could fumble pick six.
23:43
You don't know Kelsey. He does a little toss pass in
23:47
the middle of the field. Someone bats it down, fumbles
23:49
the ball. You don't know that oblong
23:53
pigskin can do wonderful things in your favor as well as it can
23:58
hurt you. We don't know until the game is
24:01
played. We have no idea, right?
24:04
I mean, there's a reason why Vegas makes money and these
24:07
places make money, right? At Week 8 last year, we were
24:11
four and four, right? I mean, the things turn around
24:16
where people, yes, the defense has a problem right now, right?
24:20
Obviously, it's not just Jayden that's an issue, but Terry and
24:26
Debo are set to practice this week, right?
24:28
If you give Mariota some weapons, right?
24:31
That's more than Jayden had last week, you know, when he was out
24:34
there. That's more than Mariota had
24:36
prior when Jayden was banged up, right?
24:38
So. So, so think, think about this.
24:41
You got I hypothetically, if Terry comes back, which we don't
24:45
know, we'll know later on, but you got Terry, you got Debo and
24:49
you got Chosen and you got lame. We've got some talent on the
24:53
field. And Luke.
24:55
Exactly, Luke. Touchdown machine.
24:57
We can spread the ball around and they won't be ready for it.
25:02
So you guys need to think about the upside.
25:05
I see the upside. I really do like you, like you,
25:08
Ted. I'm not going to sit here and
25:10
say we're going to win. I'm not going to be a blind
25:11
Homer as you, as you said, but I do see where you can do some
25:16
things that'll shock you, shock the system, and that's going to
25:19
come down to also Cliff calling a good game.
25:23
This this ain't the time to dog on be afraid.
25:29
You go in all guns blazing and and and you guys are like this.
25:33
What do you got to lose, especially when you already tank
25:37
the season? I remember going up to Philly on
25:42
a Monday night when they brought out Sylvester Stallone to
25:46
freaking midfield for the coin toss, playing his dumb Rocky
25:49
music because all those morons up there think he's actually a
25:52
boxer, right? Not Sylvester Stallone.
25:55
They actually think he's Rocky Balboa.
25:57
And seeing every single pundit saying Philly, Philly, Philly,
26:00
Philly, right? And we ended up going up there
26:02
whooping that ass and Chris Samuels taking a bow in the end
26:05
zone after the game, waving goodbye, right?
26:08
You just I remember the Steelers right, during COVID, being
26:12
undefeated, that game getting moved, right?
26:14
Things have happened in the past where we have surprised people,
26:18
we've surprised ourselves, we've surprised the world.
26:20
And Mariota also won, right? He's, I mean, he's the second
26:25
pick in the draft, just like Jane was, right?
26:28
The guy is a vet and they kept him here for a reason, right?
26:31
So I just giving up before they even play the game I'll never
26:38
get. I'm not asking you guys to put
26:39
money on the game. Oh no.
26:41
Bet your mortgage on the game or anything like that, But I'm just
26:45
saying, are you really a fan if you just don't even want to
26:49
support these guys anymore? Right?
26:51
It's honestly I, I think free agency kind of killed some of
26:55
that. You and I didn't grow up in free
26:56
agency, right? Free agency came afterwards
26:59
while we've been fans, but people didn't jump around as
27:02
much and fantasy football. I honestly think that that's
27:04
partially what's killed some rooting for this fan base
27:08
because they care more about individual players than they do.
27:12
The actual team itself and the the betting, yeah.
27:15
I stopped playing fantasy football.
27:17
I've talked about on the pod multiple times just because of
27:19
having conversations with Cooley and some of the guys at the
27:22
facility about, you know, how well it is.
27:26
I remember people getting on others because so and so didn't
27:29
make one more catch and the spread was 3 1/2 catches, not
27:34
three, right? And just to me, I'm not saying
27:38
obviously you guys listen to this, you know, that rally and I
27:41
ride or die. We have stuck through this
27:44
through how many name changes and how many BS owners and
27:48
scandals and congressional hearings and this and that.
27:50
I'm not expecting everyone to be, as I don't want to say
27:55
resilient, but as much of a fan as we are.
27:58
All I'm saying is, guys, it is Week 8, OK?
28:02
If we lose this game, we go to 3:00 and 5:00, we have a chance
28:07
to bounce back against Seattle at 4:00 and 5:00.
28:09
All right? I mean, Detroit has a bunch of
28:12
banged up secondary. We beat Detroit last year.
28:15
Not saying it's the same team, Detroit's not the same team,
28:18
We're not the same team. But to just give up this early
28:20
in the season where we have all waited so long for the season to
28:23
get here. If you guys thought that we were
28:26
going to get 12 1/2 wins, rally. And I told you at the beginning
28:29
of the season that I don't know if that's going to happen
28:32
because our schedule is tougher, right?
28:35
But realistically, the goal is to get back into the playoffs
28:38
because then anything goes and we're not out of that yet.
28:41
We're not mathematically eliminated by any means.
28:45
But the way you guys are talking, there's not even,
28:48
there's not even a shot. Now this is what I want to
28:50
happen. If you're giving up and we
28:53
hypothetically, for whatever reason, make it in, give your
28:57
jersey up, give it up. That's what you got to do.
29:00
If you if you've given up this point then and we make it that
29:03
far, you got to give it up. I mean, put, put another one on,
29:08
right, change your profile picture to another jersey at
29:12
that point, because it's just to me, it's embarrassing.
29:17
It's embarrassing as a fan of this team to see some in this
29:21
fan base. And I get it.
29:22
Everyone's, you know, opinions are like assholes, man.
29:25
Everyone's got one. Everyone's got one.
29:27
I'm just seeing a lot of Twitter assholes out there that are
29:32
trying to bring everybody down and it's only Wednesday.
29:37
And honestly, I'm not even bother replying to you guys.
29:40
I'm just ignoring you and moving on.
29:42
The ones that I'm not saying blind positivity, but the ones
29:46
that are saying right, our friends from Rep the District,
29:49
they retreated what I put and they said it's a marathon.
29:52
That couldn't be more correct. It's a marathon, not a Sprint.
29:57
It's a 17 game season, all right?
29:59
And who knows what's going to happen down the road, Whoever's
30:02
in first now, I mean, what if, and I'm not wishing this on
30:05
anybody, what if Jared Goff goes down, right?
30:08
We saw what happened. I don't know if we all saw, but
30:10
on Monday Night Football, Mike Evans finally came back, ended
30:15
up breaking his collarbone, right?
30:17
I mean this is. No, we should upon anybody.
30:20
Not by any means, but this is a very rough game and injuries
30:24
happen and things happen, and who you think is going to be on
30:27
top in Week 1 isn't necessarily who's going to be on top in Week
30:30
18. All right?
30:31
And no one thought Tampa was going to be where they are right
30:35
now. I mean, I thought they're going
30:36
to be good, but not this good. Who sees how they bounce back
30:40
after losing Evans? I understand he was hurt before,
30:42
but realistically it's a lot of football left guys.
30:48
And I'm here for it. Give me the smoke, I'm here for
30:51
it. I can't wait, man.
30:53
I'm honestly, I am. I wasn't looking forward to the
30:57
game as much, but I'm happy to go.
31:00
You know, we're doing a tour at Arrowhead.
31:02
I can't wait to get out there. I'm never going to call it GEHA
31:05
Field. I, I mean, what the hell is?
31:07
I'm sure it's like some big pharmaceutical company or
31:09
something like. What?
31:10
Government insurance? Government insurance,
31:13
Healthcare. Yeah.
31:14
So are you telling me that the field's closed because the
31:16
government shutdown? Are we not going to get our
31:18
tour? I I didn't say that not no, no,
31:21
no. We not even going to talk about
31:23
that brother. We not going there.
31:24
This field is going to be open and we're going to check it out.
31:27
I can't wait, can't wait to take pictures and show all of you
31:30
guys what you're missing. You know what I heard also, Ted?
31:35
Well, might as well sell all your your your packages that
31:39
that you got going to Kansas City, see if you get your money
31:41
back. I was like, what are you guys
31:42
talking about? Those are the people who go out
31:47
of town strictly for the game and the game only.
31:50
I go out of town for so much more.
31:52
And when you people say Kansas City owes me nothing or last
31:59
week Dallas owes me nothing is because of all the things they
32:02
did in Dallas, you know. So I got to tell you, as much as
32:08
I hate the Cowboys, the city of Dallas owes me nothing.
32:12
And no, I did not have on cowboy boots.
32:16
I was actually wondering if you wore your boots when you were
32:19
out there, and I mean even for the rally you don't want to.
32:22
You probably would have fit in a barley right man with the cowboy
32:24
boots on. Moving right along, I.
32:26
Mean what do? We wait a minute, moving right
32:30
along here. I'm just I'm referring to their
32:32
Instagram man. No, but but me.
32:35
Me and leggings in cowboy boots. Come on man.
32:39
It's, you know, to each your own, but.
32:41
When it roamed. So what in Kansas City?
32:44
I just, if you guys are going out there, make sure you go on
32:47
the rally, right? Chicken and pickle on Sunday,
32:51
not Saturday right if there is going to be a tailgate the next
32:55
day follow rally captain on social media at rally captain
32:59
follow me at tailgate Ted I'll tweet it out I'll put it out
33:02
there I'm not keeping it a secret that I'm going out there
33:05
for the game right it's just it's going to be a fun time
33:09
regardless and I know burgundy and gold are rolling deep and
33:12
when you're out there represent right don't don't cover up those
33:16
colors it's. Going.
33:18
To be a fun time man. Yeah, Kansas City is a good
33:21
city. It's not like some of these
33:24
other cities that we've gone to where they try to say stupid
33:27
stuff to you that they, I mean, obviously you got some aspect of
33:30
fans that will always be that way.
33:32
But for the most part, Kansas City is very welcoming.
33:34
They're not. They're not like all some of the
33:36
other places. No, definitely not.
33:38
And then you you talk about the cake without icing and other
33:43
trips. I do know some other people
33:46
going on some other trips with you.
33:47
This is just one of the most recent away games we got coming
33:50
on the deck I think with the next one after this is Spain I
33:53
guess. Yeah.
33:56
Damn, I can't believe that that is just what four games away
34:00
right around. I'm just wondering if they're
34:02
still going to have their head coach by then.
34:03
But regardless, man, I'm I can't wait for this trip, right.
34:08
If you guys get a chance to follow me on Instagram, I'm
34:11
going to be tweeting about SB events and the entire thing.
34:14
It just some of you guys that are you're close to the ledge.
34:18
Just just take a couple steps back, right?
34:20
Take a couple steps back. Riley and I got your back,
34:23
right? We're all in this together.
34:25
For those of you that are a jump ship, you're on your own now,
34:28
but the rest of you guys that are on the fence is we gave.
34:32
Yeah, yeah, Simmer, simmer down. Because, because we're going to
34:37
be all right one way or the other.
34:40
And I, I look at it like this, we're going to win together and
34:46
we'll lose together. But the main point is we're
34:50
together. We will not leave a burgundy and
34:53
gold fan behind. And I truly mean that straight
34:57
up because you, you know, I'd like people talk about it, but I
35:01
believe burgundy and gold. And if you've heard my toast, my
35:06
toast is O and 17 or 17 and O. We wrapped the burgundy and gold
35:14
until the day we're dead and cold.
35:17
And I mean that. You need to make that a video,
35:19
man, for some of those that haven't had a chance to toast
35:22
with you out there in the lots, because I think some people need
35:26
a reminder. I really don't.
35:29
Yep, well, hey, I hear the music playing in the background.
35:33
You could have been anywhere else in the world, but you
35:36
decided to give us a little bit of your time and we greatly
35:41
appreciate it. Remember, you Rep it hard or you
35:46
don't Rep it at all. Rally, Captain Tailgate, Ted,
35:50
DMV mess hall. Oh, see you later in Kansas
35:53
City, baby. We're out.
