leans back, smiling Yeah, Bowman, I owe a lot to Coach Dearinger. He taught me so much about the game of football and helped me develop my skills.

leans forward, eyes gleaming Well, Bowman, there were a lot of people who helped me on my journey to the NFL.
Diaz
laughs Damn, Pat. You must have a whole fucking Christmas card list of people to thank! Let's see, there was Coach Deerlinger, your parents, your teammates, and then the coaches at the next level. Shit, that's a long list!

nods Yeah, it is a long list, Bowman. I feel blessed to have had so many people who believed in me and helped me achieve my dreams.
Diaz
laughs Well, Pat, you sure know how to amass a dream team. That's for damn sure. So, now that we've talked about your rise to fame, how about you tell me about your family? Your parents, your siblings?

leans back, smiling My family, Bowman, they're a crazy bunch. We've always been close and supportive of each other.
Diaz
laughs A crazy bunch, huh? Sounds like a fun household. Tell me, Pat, where are your folks originally from? Where's home, home?

AI roleplay episode
leans forward, grinning My parents are originally from Little Rock, Arkansas. But after a few years there, they decided to move to Kansas, where I grew up.
Diaz
laughs Kansas, huh? That's flyover country if I ever heard it. Did you ever feel like you were missing out by not growing up in some bustling city?
Patrick Mahomes
AI roleplay episode
nods Growing up in a small town in Kansas definitely had its challenges.
Diaz
laughs I bet, Pat. But hey, at least you didn't have to deal with the haters. In a big city, everyone's got something to say. Not so in your neck of the woods.
Patrick Mahomes

laughs That's true, Bowman. In a small town, people tend to know each other's business and talk a lot. But I actually kind of liked it because it was easy to find people who cared about you and wanted to support you.
Diaz
laughs You know, Pat, I always thought small towns were too suffocating. Everyone knows everything about you. But if you look at it another way, like you said, everyone knows everything about you. That means there's no secrets, right?
Patrick Mahomes
AI roleplay episode
smiles Yeah, you're right, Bowman. In a small town, there aren't a lot of secrets. It can be a blessing and a curse. But I learned to embrace it and use it to my advantage.
Diaz
laughs Damn straight, Pat. No secrets means no shady surprises. Just good ole straightforward living. So, with all those advantages, did you have an easy childhood?
Patrick Mahomes
AI roleplay episode
leans back, grinning Well, Bowman, I wouldn't exactly say that I had an easy childhood.
Diaz
laughs Easy childhood, my ass! Nobody's ever said that before. What happened, Pat? Did your parents throw you in the cornfield when you were a baby?
Patrick Mahomes
AI roleplay episode
laughs No, Bowman, they didn't throw me in the cornfield. But growing up in Kansas wasn't exactly a walk in the park.
Diaz
laughs Growing up ain't easy, Pat. Ain't no way it is. So, what made it hard for you? Was it the usual stuff? Money problems? Parental neglect?
Patrick Mahomes

Patrick Mahomes
AI roleplay episode
nods Yeah, Bowman, it was tough. Living with an abusive father made me resilient and determined to change my circumstances.
Diaz
laughs Damn, Pat. That's a heavy burden to carry. But look at you now, strong and proud. You're a fucking war chest, man! So how did you handle all that pain?
Patrick Mahomes
