welcome back to the show joining us now it’s friend of the show Super Bowl champion part owner of the Royals and investor in Throne sport coffee which we got a shipment of today this Patrick Mahomes Patrick I want to ask you about Throne coffee which I will be taste testing live oh wow on air while Patrick describes his investment go ahead Patrick thanks for joining us yeah no um it’s called Throne sport coffee uh it’s actually I’m a coffee drinker myself and uh a guy named Michael fidelli came to me and had the idea of having a healthier ready to drink coffee and um we were able to kind of I was actually taste testing it for a couple a year and a half ago now um and we came up with a great product that has um either one or eight grams of sugar depending on the flavor um and amino acids Vitamin B and uh 150 milligrams of natural caffeine so something that I drink on a daily basis now I can have a healthy version of it it’s now the official coffee of first things first absolutely and I got listen this isn’t for you Pat but it goes great with a nicotine patch you feel Qui right now um all right listen they I really wanted to talk to you about the Royals and the Mavs they said I have to ask a football question so I’ll ask a couple um I so I asked people on Twitter if they could guess your favorite play of your career Super Bowls don’t count is there one play that stands out to you as like the coolest or your favorite moment um yeah I always say the uh the fourth and seven versus the Ravens and my first year start I think it was 2018 um I I was scrambling over to the right oh yall got it I was scrambling over to the right um and I just threw it back to the middle of the field I barely saw Tyreek and then he comes back to the ball makes that catch and that was kind of that first year when I’m trying to prove myself and to have that play in that moment um was definitely a big one and obviously you can see it was definitely not how the play was supposed to go but we go on to win the game and um I think that kind of jump started in my career yeah and it ended up being a huge one of the reasons that the Chiefs had the home field advantage through the AFC playoffs that year uh is there a quarterback you who’s the quarterback you watch that you enjoy watching the most like the guy when you’re able to you guys barely play on Sundays anymore so when you’re able to sit down on Sundays and and watch who’s the quarterback you enjoy watching the most there’s a couple um I like watching Josh a lot we play a lot of similar opponents um he plays a similar style of football that I do um so I always watch the what the bills do and try to take from things that he does um I like watching CJ Str a lot now man he’s he’s been been out there and he’s making plays happen um and then I would say probably Joe I mean just got I watch the same we play the same teams and so watching him play uh definitely gives me some ideas of what we can do as an offense and but I mean there the thing about the NFL now man there’s a lot of great quarterbacks um and so I’m kind of the old guy now and I have to kind of hold hold that title as the old guy but I try to continue to do whatever I can to be the the best that I can be all right so I told you this a couple years ago once upon a time I was you know probably can City’s favorite son you took it from me then once upon a time I was one of the only National folks that was uh you know into the Dallas Mavericks and Luca you took that from me as well so congrats on that um but do you right now Wilds won’t give a NBA Finals pick I assume you will do you think your Mavs and Luca can finish it off and how do you see this playing out it’s going to be a great Series this series right here because uh Anthony Edwards has has been dominant that team is a great team um play great defense and it’s going to be it’s going to be a hard series but I think the Mavs have what it takes um Kyrie’s been playing great ball um Derek Jones Jr’s been playing great defense PJ Washington playing defense and offense um they did a lot of great things at the trade deadline I mean I remember seeing it I went I went to a Nuggets game they they play the Nuggets early after the trade deadline and you can see the athleticism that they kind of brought in and I think if Luca plays the way that Luca can play and Kyrie plays like Kyrie they got as good a chance of anybody of winning Patrick we we had speaking of basketball we had your dad Patrick senior on my radio show The Odd Couple and he told us your best sport was probably basketball in high school we know you played all three Sports he said your best was probably basketball first of all is that true number one and secondly you know there’s been this whole debate about could NFL players play in the NBA and vice versa if you stopped playing football and gave yourself a year to get ready do you think you could play in the NBA no I I don’t think I can play in the NBA now um I think if I maybe if I like tried to continue to play basketball when I was young this is this is my sophomore year of high school right here I was this tall when I was in eighth grade so I thought I was going to be a basketball player I mean y’all seen my brother my brother’s 66 I’m the smallest one in my family so um I played point guard I could shoot I could pass um and so I I uh my dad was a really good basketball player I thought that was going to be my dream and but once I stopped growing I knew I had to probably focus on baseball or football and uh I ended up choosing football in the end and uh it worked out I pretty all right oh that’s that’s ni okay so is there a comp to what your game was like like in the NBA now current player or former player who was your game like when you were at your best in basketball um I would say what well my favorite player grown up was Carmelo so I used to I used to shoot mid-ranges and and pass and do stuff like that but now I feel like I play a lot similar to Luca man I’m not as skilled offensively as he is um and all the stuff he can do but as far as being able to pass the ball um be able to score kind of using um using my size that’s how that’s how I was in in high school obviously I don’t know if you can use your size like I used to do in high school at uh 63 so uh that’s why I’m playing football now um just to get back to football and some unfinished business that we have and promises that you made on this show Patrick felt like this season uh trust was one of the fundamental characteristics of the Super Bowl winning team right the drop rate was high for the wide receivers but you always had trust in them they always had trust in you maybe you didn’t have to make take so many risks uh on a third down or whatever because you knew you trusted the defense and they you get you’d get the ball back well last time you were on the show uh I said hey Patrick is the behind the back pass uh on the horizon and I trusted you because you said yeah don’t give up on it and it’s SP 21 games and we still haven’t seen it so is that something that we just untrustful or did he lie to me or what’s what happened there um I think it was uh we didn’t we didn’t play as well offensively enough for me to pull the behind the back pass off this last year but it’s no one else’s fault uh than myself because coach Reed wants me to throw it behind the back more than anyone in the world and so he he uh deliberately puts in plays that I have the opportunity to throw the ball behind so it’s not it’s not aing thing it’s it’s me not having that confidence to do it in the game but uh one of these games man we got to do it like there’s been too much hype on it we got to do it um and hopefully it’s to Travis because I feel like he’s the best at judging that behind the back pass love it all right this year it will happen all right great answer stick around right now because you’re in luck you get to be part of the best segment in all of sports what a thrill it’s NBA tears so here’s what happened last night a secretive Committee of savants analysts and fans who are demanding we put more Royals highlights into the show even though I put in three this week fought and toiled and burned the Midnight Oil to deliver the best segment in all of sports it’s an honor and a privilege it’s a special Mahomes edition of NBA tiers indeed it is Patrick there’s only four teams left so it will be quick tiers and they have a football slant to him so bottom of the tiers the 2019 Titans tier that’s the Indiana Pacers so hell of an accomplishment you surprised people you made a final four you’re a little over relying on one player whether it’s Hal Burton or Derek Henry some defensive weaknesses might be exploited in the conference Championship round but it’s a great season either way next year the 20122 Eagles tier best record in their sport for the Celtics but in an inferior conference there were some questions they Glide all the way to the championship game but questions about the opponents along the way the Giants and then an injured Brock pie of course for the Eagles for the Celtics some injuries on their own and then they get cracked in of course that Championship round which brings us to the Timberwolves which are the 2020 Buffalo Bills tier and Ascent out of nowhere new potential face of the league we hear an Josh Allen they their major trade pays dividends for them Rudy goar Stefan Diggs and we assume it will be one of the first of many final fours for the bills that is yet to occur but we thought it would at the time for the timber rolls we’ll see and then at top the tear Patrick the 2023 Chiefs team a team that once upon a time was all offense all of a sudden starts leaning on its defense that is a middling regular season people aren’t sure if they can really believe but massive contributions by young players and an ascendant Superstar who doesn’t mind a postgame beer or maybe a postgame hookah depending on who we’re talking about and sporting the dad bod is almost taunting the oppent they’re a top the tear that is the latest edition of Nick’s tears Patrick your thoughts on it um yeah you’re surprising me so I’m just going to give my instant reaction thoughts here I would change the 2023 Chiefs to the 2019 Chiefs if you remember that defense kind of came on at the end of the season um it made a lot of timely stops and timely Fashions and that’s what kind of got us over the edge um and I was still young hadn’t won my first championship yet and uh that could that could be a Luca so I think the 2019 Chiefs would be better than the 2023 Chiefs you know what I got to say for the first time in the history you’re right I mean the tears were wrong I the tears were usually I’m I tell you why they’re right but you know what you’re right that would have been a better example just flatly would have been better I should have done it yeah that’s correct Patrick as much as I respect your fandom of the Mavericks you grew up down there I am moving the Timberwolves to the top and and I SED a that bit of trepidation in your voice when you were talking earlier about this matchup Anthony Edwards has to scare you a little bit so I’m I’m picking him to lead the Maverick or lead the uh Timberwolves to the championship this year that’s great no I would say there’s no doubt that Anthony Edwards does scare me it does scare me a lot um as well as that team but uh like you said though man I I think uh Luca getting a few days off getting a little healthier um and being more like the Luca we saw in the playoffs in the past I think that can get us over the top as a mass fan I am Lan out Rick in the training staff that got your ankle right to work on Luca’s knee hoist that Larry O’Brien it’s all we need yeah pretty good yeah pretty good uh Patrick quickly can you give us a prediction for tonight game one wolves Mavs oh we’ll lose tonight for sure that’s how Ms that’s how the MS do I’ve told everybody in the locker room that we will lose tonight um but when I come back after Memorial Day the M will be up two to 21 um and I can then we can talk about a series aw
