When Hurts asked him if he bought a house in Arizona, Mahomes said, he “just Airbnb’ed it.” He then admitted to Hurts that he had made the plans months before the big game — a bold choice given that the Chiefs had weeks to go before clinching their spot.
“I did that s— three months ago,” he said, explaining that he wanted to save money. “I’m like that s— blast up on the price.”
