00:00:11 ,960 –> 00:00:15 ,480
Speaker 1: an area code you haven’t dialed yet. This addition of

10
00:00:35 ,320 –> 00:00:36 ,080
Speaker 1: a city.
11
00:00:36 ,400 –> 00:00:38 ,840
Speaker 2: Hollywot Brown is having a night.
12
00:00:39 ,360 –> 00:00:41 ,760
Speaker 1: Howeveryone, I’m a Childa’s voice of the Chiefs along with
13
00:00:42 ,159 –> 00:00:43 ,920
Speaker 1: Chiefs Team reporter Senior team.
14
00:00:43 ,760 –> 00:00:49 ,880
Speaker 2: Reporter Matt McMullen. Now, wait a minute, five, one, four,
15
00:00:50 ,640 –> 00:00:54 ,200
Speaker 2: What does that mean? Hmm, let’s go through it really quickly.
16
00:00:54 ,520 –> 00:00:58 ,760
Speaker 1: March the fifteenth, twenty twenty four, here’s your timeline the
17
00:00:58 ,840 –> 00:01:02 ,520
Speaker 1: Chiefs on Hollywood Brown as an unrestricted free agent. Keep
18
00:01:02 ,560 –> 00:01:06 ,720
Speaker 1: in mind March of twenty four, Rushie Rice going into
19
00:01:06 ,720 –> 00:01:10 ,000
Speaker 1: his second year in twenty twenty four, excited for that year,
20
00:01:10 ,480 –> 00:01:14 ,320
Speaker 1: and then Xavier Worthy drafted in late April of twenty
21
00:01:14 ,360 –> 00:01:17 ,000
Speaker 1: twenty four in the first round. I’ll set it up
22
00:01:17 ,000 –> 00:01:21 ,360
Speaker 1: that way. Hollywood is five, Xavier Worthy is one, and
23
00:01:21 ,480 –> 00:01:24 ,360
Speaker 1: Rushie Rice is four. I’ll take it from there.
24
00:01:24 ,520 –> 00:01:27 ,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I remember one day at training camp. Let’s see
25
00:01:27 ,200 –> 00:01:31 ,000
Speaker 3: if I have the actual date I saw leave him
26
00:01:31 ,080 –> 00:01:33 ,360
Speaker 3: walking down the field. I’ll put the photo on the
27
00:01:33 ,520 –> 00:01:36 ,319
Speaker 3: on the podcast if you’re watching it. So it’s Hollywood
28
00:01:36 ,480 –> 00:01:39 ,160
Speaker 3: on the left, Xavier in the middle, and Rashee on
29
00:01:39 ,200 –> 00:01:41 ,920
Speaker 3: the right. Five one, four, And I was thinking to myself,
30
00:01:42 ,160 –> 00:01:44 ,679
Speaker 3: how awesome is this receiver corre going to be? These
31
00:01:44 ,680 –> 00:01:46 ,880
Speaker 3: guys are great, they compliment each other well, all having
32
00:01:46 ,880 –> 00:01:49 ,960
Speaker 3: a great camp. I can’t wait to see Hollywood, Xavier
33
00:01:49 ,960 –> 00:01:53 ,360
Speaker 3: and Rashie all on the field at the same time. Well,
34
00:01:53 ,360 –> 00:01:56 ,080
Speaker 3: it turns out that was on July twenty sixth, twenty
35
00:01:56 ,160 –> 00:01:58 ,840
Speaker 3: twenty four. We are over a year later, and I
36
00:01:58 ,840 –> 00:02:00 ,360
Speaker 3: think we’re going to see them all in the field
37
00:02:00 ,360 –> 00:02:03 ,640
Speaker 3: at the same time for the very first time as chiefs.
38
00:02:03 ,760 –> 00:02:06 ,280
Speaker 4: This is a big, big week, Mitch. We finally made it.
39
00:02:07 ,040 –> 00:02:10 ,200
Speaker 1: That’s twenty three regular season games, if you’re counting at
40
00:02:10 ,200 –> 00:02:14 ,560
Speaker 1: home in three postseason games. They’ve never been together never,
41
00:02:14 ,760 –> 00:02:18 ,600
Speaker 1: and this started in March of twenty twenty four. So
42
00:02:18 ,639 –> 00:02:22 ,720
Speaker 1: it’s exciting saying that we can dial up the area
43
00:02:22 ,880 –> 00:02:27 ,359
Speaker 1: code here of five, one four for the first time,
44
00:02:27 ,400 –> 00:02:30 ,320
Speaker 1: and yes it’s Raiders week and there’s more. We got
45
00:02:30 ,400 –> 00:02:32 ,480
Speaker 1: more area codes coming your way and maybe even a
46
00:02:32 ,600 –> 00:02:34 ,960
Speaker 1: zip code because we’re trying to fit all these numbers
47
00:02:34 ,960 –> 00:02:38 ,440
Speaker 1: in here. But the excitement that you feel with these three.
48
00:02:38 ,240 –> 00:02:42 ,519
Speaker 3: Guys, yeah, it’s high. So think about again. Not having
49
00:02:42 ,560 –> 00:02:44 ,360
Speaker 3: those three on the field at all at the same
50
00:02:44 ,400 –> 00:02:47 ,200
Speaker 3: time as a bummer, but it’s forced other guys to
51
00:02:47 ,240 –> 00:02:49 ,560
Speaker 3: step into different roles, and I think we have an
52
00:02:49 ,560 –> 00:02:52 ,480
Speaker 3: opportunity here to have maybe the best receiver corps we’ve
53
00:02:52 ,480 –> 00:02:55 ,959
Speaker 3: had with Patrick Mahomes, and that’s saying something. So right now,
54
00:02:56 ,080 –> 00:02:58 ,080
Speaker 3: the Chiefs are one of only three teams in the
55
00:02:58 ,200 –> 00:03:01 ,040
Speaker 3: NFL to have four or more play with at least
56
00:03:01 ,040 –> 00:03:04 ,280
Speaker 3: two hundred and twenty receiving yards. Those players being Travis Kelce,
57
00:03:04 ,400 –> 00:03:08 ,120
Speaker 3: Hollywood Brown, Juju Smith Schuster, and Taekwon Thornton. Who did
58
00:03:08 ,200 –> 00:03:11 ,320
Speaker 3: I not mention Rashi Rice and Xavier You’re Worthy. So
59
00:03:11 ,440 –> 00:03:14 ,320
Speaker 3: you have those four players who are all contributing, helping
60
00:03:14 ,320 –> 00:03:17 ,680
Speaker 3: this team win, moving the chains, having great games, and
61
00:03:17 ,720 –> 00:03:20 ,400
Speaker 3: then you add Xavier Worthy and the healthy Rashi Rice
62
00:03:20 ,480 –> 00:03:23 ,400
Speaker 3: to the mix. It’s just really exciting, and I love
63
00:03:23 ,480 –> 00:03:25 ,639
Speaker 3: that Rashi is coming back at a time where it’s
64
00:03:25 ,639 –> 00:03:28 ,440
Speaker 3: not like, hey, Rashi, please save us. You know, it’s
65
00:03:28 ,440 –> 00:03:30 ,840
Speaker 3: not like the offense is sputtering. We’re struggling, and we’re
66
00:03:30 ,840 –> 00:03:33 ,120
Speaker 3: all saying, well, we’re going to add Rashi and hopefully
67
00:03:33 ,160 –> 00:03:35 ,880
Speaker 3: that fixes things. It’s the total opposite. Where this team
68
00:03:35 ,920 –> 00:03:39 ,080
Speaker 3: has scored twenty eight or more points in three straight games.
69
00:03:39 ,280 –> 00:03:42 ,200
Speaker 3: They’ve scored ninety five points over their last three games.
70
00:03:42 ,400 –> 00:03:44 ,119
Speaker 3: That’s the most for the Chiefs in a three game
71
00:03:44 ,200 –> 00:03:47 ,400
Speaker 3: span since the twenty twenty one season. The offense is
72
00:03:47 ,400 –> 00:03:50 ,040
Speaker 3: playing better than it’s ever played over the last several years.
73
00:03:50 ,240 –> 00:03:52 ,200
Speaker 3: And no, now you’re adding a guy that we think
74
00:03:52 ,280 –> 00:03:54 ,200
Speaker 3: is this team’s number one receiver to the mix.
75
00:03:54 ,360 –> 00:03:55 ,320
Speaker 4: It’s very exciting.
