Host Shawn Roney, part-time co-host Miranda Jamison, and Richmond News/Excelsior Springs Standard employee and sports fan Micah Dillman discuss mutiple sports topics. In addition, interview and press conference clips featuring the following are shared: 

• Excelsior Springs High School football teammates Justin Crowley and Dawson Claypole
• Richmond High School football teammates Bryer Farnan and Nolan Quick, and their head coach, Nick Persell
• Oak Park High School football coach Ken Clemens
• Excelsior Springs varsity football coach Jake Danneman
• Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, defensive end George Karlaftis and backup quarterback Carson Wentz

Notes:

• Since this episode was recorded, Sam Webb has been signed to Las Vegas' practice squad again. 
• The two Jacobs referred during the interview with Farnan, Quick and Persell are quarterbacks Jacob Lieberknecht and Jacob Johnson.
• For the origin of the "I-threw-up-in-my-mouth" bit, watch the sports comedy classic "Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story."
• For the origin of the bit where Shawn muffles himself as he speaks of something in his distant past, watch the mockumentary "A Mighty Wind."
• Shawn credits his knowledge of Babe Ruth in part to "Baseball," the documentary TV miniseries from Ken Burns.
• The Independence Events Center, discussed near the end of the episode, has been rebranded as Cable Dahmer Arena.
• Alas, circumstances precluded us from covering Chiefs games in person in 2024. Keep listening to find out if we make to games in 2025 and beyond!
