Speaker 1: Chiefs go back to the primetime stage this week, but
2
00:00:02 ,600 –> 00:00:05 ,960
Speaker 1: hosting Monday Night Football this time, as they’ll host the
3
00:00:06 ,040 –> 00:00:09 ,000
Speaker 1: Washington Commanders, who make their first visit to the Kingdom
4
00:00:09 ,320 –> 00:00:12 ,200
Speaker 1: since twenty seventeen. But the Chiefs just might be the
5
00:00:12 ,200 –> 00:00:16 ,400
Speaker 1: epitome right now of unselfishness and an example for all
6
00:00:16 ,720 –> 00:00:20 ,320
Speaker 1: professional sports teams. Of course, defending the Kingdom is always
7
00:00:20 ,320 –> 00:00:24 ,480
Speaker 1: brought to you by your good friends at Ticketmaster. Reid
8
00:00:24 ,520 –> 00:00:27 ,160
Speaker 1: Humphrey snaps it to Mahomes and his hip. Now Mahomes
9
00:00:27 ,200 –> 00:00:28 ,160
Speaker 1: goes some of the middle.
10
00:00:27 ,920 –> 00:00:31 ,160
Speaker 2: To touchdown Chansas City.
11
00:00:31 ,480 –> 00:00:32 ,680
Speaker 3: What happens everywhere?
12
00:00:33 ,040 –> 00:00:33 ,440
Speaker 2: Howeveryone?
13
00:00:33 ,440 –> 00:00:35 ,600
Speaker 1: I’m ch Holdes’s Voice of the Chiefs along with senior
14
00:00:35 ,640 –> 00:00:39 ,800
Speaker 1: team reporter Met mcmollon. This is the salute to service game,
15
00:00:39 ,920 –> 00:00:42 ,080
Speaker 1: as the Chiefs will entertain the Commanders.
16
00:00:41 ,600 –> 00:00:42 ,599
Speaker 2: On Monday Night Football.
17
00:00:42 ,960 –> 00:00:46 ,680
Speaker 1: The theme of this podcast will be unselfishness. To be
18
00:00:46 ,920 –> 00:00:51 ,279
Speaker 1: unselfish and I can’t think of any better example of
19
00:00:51 ,479 –> 00:00:54 ,200
Speaker 1: women or men being unselfish than those who serve us
20
00:00:54 ,760 –> 00:00:57 ,320
Speaker 1: in all of the branches. And it’s why we like
21
00:00:57 ,400 –> 00:00:58 ,920
Speaker 1: to highlight it every year. We were one of the
22
00:00:59 ,000 –> 00:01:02 ,800
Speaker 1: leaders get the NFL started in this so many major
23
00:01:03 ,800 –> 00:01:06 ,880
Speaker 1: military installations for the world or within an hour and
24
00:01:06 ,920 –> 00:01:10 ,000
Speaker 1: a half of where we set. But really, we can’t
25
00:01:10 ,040 –> 00:01:12 ,520
Speaker 1: start in selfishness without talking about our women and men
26
00:01:12 ,560 –> 00:01:13 ,000
Speaker 1: in service.
27
00:01:13 ,280 –> 00:01:15 ,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, the NFL is awesome because it gives us this
28
00:01:16 ,000 –> 00:01:18 ,880
Speaker 4: incredible platform to lift up the things that are really
29
00:01:18 ,920 –> 00:01:23 ,560
Speaker 4: important in the world. And embracing and thinking and honoring
30
00:01:23 ,600 –> 00:01:25 ,760
Speaker 4: our men and women in uniform who make all of
31
00:01:25 ,800 –> 00:01:27 ,360
Speaker 4: this possible is so important.
32
00:01:27 ,560 –> 00:01:29 ,679
Speaker 5: We do that every single day. But it’s cool.
33
00:01:29 ,760 –> 00:01:31 ,920
Speaker 4: The NFL devotes an entire month to it, and in
34
00:01:31 ,959 –> 00:01:34 ,560
Speaker 4: this case, Monday Night Football for us is our salute
35
00:01:34 ,560 –> 00:01:35 ,280
Speaker 4: to service game.
36
00:01:35 ,880 –> 00:01:36 ,880
Speaker 5: Very cool opportunity.
37
00:01:36 ,920 –> 00:01:39 ,759
Speaker 4: You’ll be seeing cool stories throughout the week about our
38
00:01:39 ,800 –> 00:01:42 ,800
Speaker 4: incredible military. And you’re right, I’m glad we started off
39
00:01:42 ,800 –> 00:01:44 ,720
Speaker 4: with that because that’s the most important thing with all
40
00:01:44 ,760 –> 00:01:46 ,560
Speaker 4: of this. If we didn’t have them, we couldn’t do
41
00:01:46 ,600 –> 00:01:47 ,720
Speaker 4: what we do.
42
00:01:47 ,760 –> 00:01:47 ,960
Speaker 2: You know.
43
00:01:48 ,080 –> 00:01:51 ,320
Speaker 1: Chris McGowan, he was our host along with Shara at
44
00:01:51 ,320 –> 00:01:54 ,200
Speaker 1: West Point. But Chris, this is the epitome of this.
45
00:01:54 ,240 –> 00:01:57 ,400
Speaker 1: I’ll just give you an example. His daughter was getting
46
00:01:57 ,400 –> 00:01:59 ,760
Speaker 1: ready to start her senior year of high school and
47
00:02:01 ,200 –> 00:02:03 ,720
Speaker 1: then basically the night before she was going to start,
48
00:02:03 ,760 –> 00:02:07 ,280
Speaker 1: he had to leave for another deployment. Then to Afghanistan
49
00:02:07 ,800 –> 00:02:09 ,680
Speaker 1: and we sat on his front lawn and we prayed,
50
00:02:09 ,720 –> 00:02:12 ,760
Speaker 1: prayed Psalm ninety one. But I thought, what an act
51
00:02:13 ,000 –> 00:02:15 ,760
Speaker 1: of unselfishness of his service. He’s going to miss his
52
00:02:15 ,840 –> 00:02:19 ,680
Speaker 1: daughter’s entire senior year and to do it to serve
53
00:02:19 ,720 –> 00:02:21 ,560
Speaker 1: all of us. I mean, it’s just it was an
54
00:02:21 ,600 –> 00:02:23 ,160
Speaker 1: example that blew me away.
55
00:02:23 ,560 –> 00:02:26 ,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, the sacrifices are just incredible. When we were at
56
00:02:26 ,840 –> 00:02:30 ,280
Speaker 4: West Point a few weeks ago and seeing the seventeen
57
00:02:30 ,320 –> 00:02:34 ,000
Speaker 4: and eighteen year olds who are devoting their lives to service,
58
00:02:34 ,600 –> 00:02:37 ,160
Speaker 4: I was thinking about how I wouldn’t last about ten
59
00:02:37 ,200 –> 00:02:41 ,000
Speaker 4: seconds at West Point watching what those individuals put themselves through.
60
00:02:41 ,440 –> 00:02:43 ,560
Speaker 4: They do it to help people they’ve never met before,
61
00:02:43 ,880 –> 00:02:47 ,280
Speaker 4: and that’s really really cool something that like one percent
62
00:02:47 ,320 –> 00:02:49 ,600
Speaker 4: of one percent of people are able to do and
63
00:02:49 ,960 –> 00:02:52 ,239
Speaker 4: willing to do. And again, that was such a cool
64
00:02:52 ,240 –> 00:02:54 ,440
Speaker 4: experience for us to kind of see that in person
65
00:02:54 ,480 –> 00:02:57 ,800
Speaker 4: and to see, you know, the future generations of our
66
00:02:57 ,880 –> 00:03:01 ,040
Speaker 4: military who are stepping forward to us so we can
67
00:03:01 ,240 –> 00:03:02 ,200
Speaker 4: talk about football.
68
00:03:02 ,360 –> 00:03:03 ,520
Speaker 5: I appreciate them, and.
69
00:03:03 ,520 –> 00:03:05 ,919
Speaker 1: I’m going to give a shout out here because I
70
00:03:06 ,000 –> 00:03:09 ,480
Speaker 1: love the way our franchise dives into this and has.
71
00:03:09 ,760 –> 00:03:10 ,720
Speaker 2: For over a decade.
72
00:03:11 ,280 –> 00:03:15 ,200
Speaker 1: Cale Kirby in our equipment department deserves big mention here
73
00:03:15 ,280 –> 00:03:17 ,720
Speaker 1: because he instead of just like getting a NFL gear
74
00:03:17 ,760 –> 00:03:20 ,760
Speaker 1: and oh, we’ll put it on and we’ll mention the military,
75
00:03:21 ,200 –> 00:03:23 ,760
Speaker 1: Cale takes it to a whole nother level. For years
76
00:03:23 ,800 –> 00:03:26 ,639
Speaker 1: and years and years, he’s used his imagination, his research,
77
00:03:26 ,680 –> 00:03:29 ,560
Speaker 1: and his passion. Like this year, it is the two
78
00:03:29 ,600 –> 00:03:32 ,960
Speaker 1: hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the Army, the Navy, and
79
00:03:33 ,000 –> 00:03:36 ,880
Speaker 1: the Marines. Our guys are going to wear p
