August 29, 2025 What Team Will The Chiefs Lose To?
In this episode, Cody and I get into all the hype (and anxiety) heading into the season—what the Chiefs did in the offseason, how we think this year plays out, and which player moves actually matter. We talk through the Micah Parsons trade and how it could shift things, what the Chiefs' offense might look like early, and who’s most likely to break out.

Ayla tries (and fails) a Boston accent, which Jonathan says sounds more like JLo from Queens.

Ayla mishears “baby powder” and things take a very weird turn involving boofing, colon cancer, and Supreme Court confirmation hearings.
