The Kansas City Chiefs raising last week the championship flag.

0:07.5

Actually, it happened over the weekend.

0:09.2

Kansas City Chiefs 2019 world champions.

0:12.4

I always think it's a little presumptuous to say world champion because who knows?

0:16.2

Maybe there's 11 guys somewhere in some other country that could come together and kick their ass.

0:21.1

No. Negative ghost rider. They couldn't. Sorry, they're the world. How do we know? The world's

0:25.9

not invited. It's just NFL champions. Well, the world's invited. They know where America is

0:32.0

and the NFL is. I mean, I don't know. They want to play football. Get it going. But I'm feeling pretty confident that nobody on any other continent country can assemble a team with Mahomes, Tyree Kill, Chris Jones, Honey Badger, any of those, and mess with them. Then why not take it farther? Why not say solar system champions? Oh, okay. Why not say, why not say Galaxy champions, right, right? We don't know the whole galaxy. You want to talk about No, you were just, you were just going to talk about the world, but now you're going to actually talk about things we don't know, right? So, okay, but if you want to start a new thing, I'll jump on with you if you want to do that, like galaxy champions? I could do that.

1:11.2

I mean, if we're going to extend this beyond the boundaries of the national football league

1:16.3

and start claiming that whoever wins the NFL championship somehow has dominion over a broader

1:21.6

geographic scope, why not go universe?

1:24.3

Okay.

1:24.8

I mean, go multiverse.

1:26.4

If you're going to start claiming territory, just claim all of it. Sure. Don't just claim the world. We claim the whole freaking all of existence, all of God's creation. We know where the, we know our world a lot better than we do our universe. So we don't know. I mean, you look at the news lately, UFOs seem to be a real thing. Like, no joke. Like, have you seen some of those videos? Like, you need to check it out. It's kind of cool. Well, and isn't it odd? I guess they picked the perfect time to admit to humanity that UFOs have been visiting for years because everything else that's going on, we're just kind of like, yeah. So what? That's like, that's the fifth best story of the day. Anyway, the best story, at least for the top of the hour, the chief's raising that flag. I still haven't heard when they're going to give out the rings. I haven't heard that they have given out the rings. And Chris, you and I talked about the psychology of when to best give out the rings. They're not going to do it the night before the first game.

2:20.8

We talked about the psychology of when to best give out the rings. They're not going to do it the night before the first game. We talked about that before because you don't want that thing, that giant gleaming ring given to you as you're getting ready to go out on the field to play the Texans, especially when, among other things, you'd be worried about somebody stealing it out of your locker during the game.

2:35.2

I know I would because I know if I had a chance to steal one, I'm sure as hell would. I say that jokingly. I know. I probably wouldn't. I probably wouldn't. But you know what? I wouldn't want to be alone in the locker room with someone's Super Bowl ring and no one else around. I wouldn't want to have that test of character. I think you'd be okay.

2:56.2

I trust you. But you're right. I don't think the psychology of that would be good at this point.

3:02.2

You know, maybe, hey, have a barbecue or have some sort of gathering Friday after the opening game or Saturday. There's a little time off that the coaches and players will get. Maybe they

3:06.7

do something like that. But I do.

3:07.8

I think you're risking a total, you know, what do I want to say?

3:12.3

Distraction if you get the ring two to three days leading up to the first game or the night before the day of.

3:18.5

That'll be bad.
