For Pete's Sake

Chiefs Cab was a play on the old TV show “Cash Cab.”
Chiefs Cab was a play on the old TV show “Cash Cab.”

“Cash Cab” was a cult hit for more than a decade, as it put a twist on the game-show format.

Ben Bailey would drive a taxi cab and pick up people who thought they were simply hailing a ride. Once inside the cab, Bailey would pepper the riders with questions and they had a chance to win money ... or get kicked out of the cab if they missed too many questions.

Bailey would actually drive contestants to their destination.

The Chiefs tabbed Bailey for their 2025 schedule release, but the riders were not picked at random.

Cornerback Trent McDuffie and Mitch Holthus, the voice of the Chiefs, are in the video, along with former KC quarterback Trent Green and some of the team’s cheerleaders.

Some Chiefs fans took part in the fun, too.

They answered questions about the Chiefs opponents in the 2025 season. This was a unique way of letting fans know when the Chiefs will be playing this season.
