Andy and Matt are back to discuss the resounding defeat the Downtown Stadium measured suffered. 

Since we've known May for most of our lives and consider him a great friend, we decided it would be fun to hear a different perspective on the Downtown Baseball Stadium initiative, plus we knew none of us would get all butt hurt by hearing a different perspective when it comes from someone as cool as May. Hear all about the parking nightmares coming soon to a downtown near you (or Sacramento if the vote is no).

We're sticking to politics, pal.... kinda. Our resident SVP of Talent Relations stepped out of his role as Andy and Matt's babysitter and got behind the mic to give a report on a candidate forum that he and Andy attended.

Will he return for another year of coaching, TBD...

Andy shares in detail all the ways his "good neighbor" insurance company dropped the ball as it pertained to his wife's no fault automobile accident in December. Not surprisingly, it was a texting and driving accident where another driver wedged his car between hers and the car in the next lane. From there it was headache and hassle after headache and hassle. And the worst culprit - the insurance company that Andy and Kara have been with 25+ years.

Here is what our bot said we talked about   Key Takeaways   The Chiefs have suffered back-to-back regular season losses for the first time since 2021, raising concerns about playoff chances Patrick Mahomes seems increasingly frustrated with offensive struggles and refereeing decisions The AFC playoff picture remains open, with no clear dominant team emerging yet The Chiefs have a favorable remaining schedule and could still earn the AFC's #1 seed Penalties, lack of receiver separation, and poor clock management have hurt the Chiefs lately Social media can have negative impacts on mental health; the hosts have tried taking Twitter breaks   Reflecting on the Chiefs' Rare Back-to-Back Losses   The Chiefs haven't lost two straight regular season games since 2021, which is concerning for playoff positioning The Chiefs need to win the division to help playoff seeding and chances The Broncos are only one game back in the division now, so the Chiefs need to finish strong Patrick Mahomes' Growing Frustrations Mahomes is clearly frustrated with the offensive struggles and officiating decisions recently It's unclear if this frustration will motivate and fire up Mahomes and the team, or lead to detrimental outbursts Mahomes briefly called out the referees in his post-game press conference for inconsistent calls   Reviewing the AFC Playoff Picture   No AFC team has clearly separated itself as the Super Bowl favorite yet The Chiefs remain a top AFC contender despite recent struggles The Ravens and Dolphins face tough remaining schedules, which could allow the Chiefs to move up in playoff seeding Evaluating Remaining Schedule and Playoff Outlook The Chiefs have a favorable final 4 games against non-playoff teams Multiple losses by the Ravens and Dolphins down the stretch are plausible Winning out would give the Chiefs a strong chance at the AFC's #1 seed   Discussing Factors in Recent Chiefs' Struggles   Costly penalties have hurt the Chiefs lately, stalling drives Lack of receiver separation has led to incompletions and interceptions Poor clock management has cost the Chiefs chances to score at the end of halves   Considering Twitter Breaks for Better Mental Health The negative nature of sports Twitter during losses can be detrimental for mental health The hosts have tried taking Twitter breaks after games to avoid doomscrolling Shutting down Twitter on game days could be a healthy strategy

Here Chiefs Haters. Here is a podcast for you. This is what our AI note taker said Andy and Matt talked about. Summary Meeting Purpose: Casual conversation between friends discussing the Kansas City Chiefs' recent loss and overall performance this season.   Key Takeaways Both were frustrated with the Chiefs' loss to the Packers and felt the officiating was poor. They analyzed the AFC playoff picture and possible matchups. Feel the Chiefs can still make a run if they get key players healthy. Discussed the razor thin margin between winning and losing in the NFL. Coaching and QB play are key factors. Expressed concerns about the Chiefs' energy and motivation levels in some games. Team needs to play with more urgency. Topics: Chiefs' Loss to Packers Both were very frustrated with the loss, especially the non-call on the Valdes-Scantling pass interference. Felt it was a clear penalty that should have been called. Discussed if that penalty was called, the Chiefs still would have needed to convert a 2-point conversion to tie. Outcome may have been the same. Officiating was bad both ways. But doesn't excuse missing such an obvious call.   AFC Playoff Picture Analyzed the current AFC playoff standings. Chiefs currently the 4 seed. Discussed potential playoff matchups. Feel Chiefs match up better against certain teams like Pittsburgh. Injuries will play a key role. Getting Nick Bolton back at linebacker will help. The bye week for the 1 seed is critical. Allows team to get healthy and coaches to game plan. Concerns About Chiefs' Performance Expressed concerns about the Chiefs' energy and motivation levels in some games. At times they look flat. Winning and losing margins are razor thin in NFL. Coaching and QB play are key factors. Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes give the Chiefs an advantage in close games. Team needs to play with more urgency and consistency headed into playoffs.   Next Steps: Check in on friend Kelly Howerton who is a big Chiefs fan. He was likely very frustrated with the loss as well. Keep perspective that regular season losses aren't devastating. But Chiefs need to play better football in December. Look ahead to huge game against Buffalo. That game will have major playoff implications.

On today's show we're raking our favorite holidays. Later, Andy shares his theories on why Matt has chilled out.
