The 2026 NFL Schedule release is just days away, and the "AI Nerds" at AWS are hard at work processing a quadrillion combinations—but Matt Verderame and Tucker Franklin have a better idea. In this episode, they're giving you the ultimate Chiefs Schedule Refresher to get you ready for Thursday’s big reveal.
They're breaking down the logistics of the Chiefs' upcoming season, from the likelihood of another Christmas Day "Invitational" at Arrowhead to the potential for a Joe Buck-led Monday Night meltdown over a disgusting Chiefs matchup.
In this episode:
- Knicks, Sixers, & "Divine Intervention": Matt breaks down the joy of watching the Knicks plow through Philly and why certain teams are currently playing like they have Angels in the Outfield on their side.
- The $10,000 Mulch Scam: Matt shares a legendary "Bozo" story involving a landscaping quote so outrageous it makes NFL ticket prices look like a bargain.
- The AI Schedule Era: The NFL is using AWS and "High Performance Computing" to build the 2026 schedule. We discuss why a "nerd in a room" could probably still do a better job and why we’re dreading four straight road games.
- Chiefs Schedule Refresher: We’re looking ahead to Thursday’s release. Will the Chiefs open in Buffalo? Are we destined for another Christmas Day game? Plus, we identify the "Asshole Games" on the slate—the 1 PM matchups that no one wants but everyone will watch.
- Bozo of the Week: The segment makes its glorious return! We crown the biggest losers of the week, from cringe-inducing hockey fan music videos to the latest NFL social media drama.
We’re giving it to you 90 miles an hour to the dome piece to get your week started right.
