Can we make this deal? As long as the Royals are in first place, they will lead this show.

In the questions, we hit on Patrick Mahomes’ draft night, pitchers cheating, Brett Veach smokescreening the media and recommendations for Kansas City’s beer scene.

The bonus section is all about the Chiefs, including a breakdown of the first round from the Chiefs’ perspective, and we peel back some layers of something really important that Veach said late last night.

Please listen to new episodes every Friday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.
