[00:01:13] Speaker A: For the 100th episode of the Burning River Sportscast. That's right, 100 times now we've done this, and we are so thankful that you are tuning in and listening with us today and every day. It's because of people like you that we get to continue to do what we do. And we are eternally grateful. Whether you're a regular to the pod or you catch our video version on YouTube, or you just enjoy interacting on our shorts reels and posts on Facebook, Instagram X or Tik Tok, we are so thankful that you have chosen to be a part of our growing community. A community that loves our Browns but appreciates the truth. A community that wants to be informed but understands that the uncensored truth will never come from the mainstream media. And a community that rejoices in the highs and comes together in the lows. Yes, we get upset. Yes, we complain. Yes, we make recommendations for change. But despite our disappointment, for reasons sometimes beyond our own comprehension, the fire we have for this team burns eternal and bright. There's something about watching those orange helmets with no logos run onto the field on game day that rivals the most beautiful sunsets, the feeling of your first true love, the warm embrace of a family member or the taste of your favorite dessert. A love that transcends basic reason and unconditional attachment that no one can truly explain. Yet we all feel. And it's why we're all here. And that's why, even in a year like this, a disappointing, meager, doleful campaign, we still find ourselves here, watching, yearning, loving this team and seeking out what little enjoyment we can. Even the smallest circumstances. So cheers to the next hundred episodes, to more Browns backers, interviews, game recaps, pick em punishments, alumni conversations and of course, plenty of laughs. We'll break it all down for you next on the Burning River Sportscast.
[00:03:03] Speaker B: You're not wrong. Your dad does hate you.
[00:03:06] Speaker A: I think the whole Angry Bobby thing is a facade. Bobby is like.
[00:03:09] Speaker B: He's a softy.
[00:03:10] Speaker A: Like every time we've interacted with angry.
[00:03:12] Speaker B: Hey guys, how you doing?
[00:03:13] Speaker A: He's, like, the nicest guy I've ever met.
[00:03:15] Speaker B: If you poop in your dreams, do you poop for real? Times like this, I just question our friendship, like, every aspect of it. I hate you. Shut up, shut up, shut up.
[00:03:26] Speaker A: I really can't stay. I need somebody that can sing it with me. Baby, it's cold outside I've got to go Wait. When it's cold outside this evening has been so very nice.
Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas they're like, isn't this a football podcast?
[00:03:47] Speaker D: It was first recorded in 1951. And here's a fun fact by the Austrian Trap family. You know, made famous, you know, through.
[00:03:54] Speaker A: The Sound of Music.
[00:03:55] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:03:55] Speaker E: Wow.

But, yeah.
[00:04:04] Speaker D: Harmony, Ronnie.
[00:04:05] Speaker B: Yeah. I couldn't think of the word thank you.
[00:04:11] Speaker A: You kind of look like a horribly disfigured this year.
[00:04:13] Speaker B: And thank you.
[00:04:14] Speaker A: Or even a horribly disfigured Elton John.
[00:04:16] Speaker B: Really. I was gonna sing more of the song, but I guess I'll shut up now. Jesus.
Like, okay, let's officially put, like, the kibosh on dtr. Being anything with the future of this team. Like, he's done.
[00:04:28] Speaker A: I feel like the kibosh is there, and I don't think you need. I think. I think he's fine.
[00:04:32] Speaker B: How many times can we say kibosh in a short period of time?
[00:04:34] Speaker A: Yeah, let's kibosh the kibosh. 5.43 inches of solid concrete baloney pony.
[00:04:43] Speaker B: If the world were to end tomorrow, what would you blow all of your money on tonight?
Kenny?
[00:04:50] Speaker A: Strippers.
[00:04:51] Speaker B: Okay, that was number one, Cliff. You got an answer here?
[00:04:54] Speaker C: Gummy bears.
[00:04:56] Speaker A: I feel like Cornwallis at the end of the Patriot. Like, how did it come to this?
Bunch of farmers and pitchforks.
[00:05:04] Speaker D: Yankee Doodle baby.
[00:05:05] Speaker A: Yankee Doodle freaking hillbillies.
Literally, less than 10% of men have a penis that exceeds 6 inches. 6 inches. You're in a top. You're in the top 10% if you have a 6.1 inch penis.

[00:07:19] Speaker A: That's me.
[00:07:20] Speaker B: And 100th episode. It's a big deal.
We are now equal to Betty White.
[00:07:26] Speaker A: Legendary.
[00:07:27] Speaker B: And on Sunday, when we do our live show, we will officially be better than Betty White.
[00:07:32] Speaker A: Be more than Betty White.
[00:07:34] Speaker B: So huge, huge milestone. We're really proud of this. We'll mention it quite a few times today. So if you get sick of it, I'm sorry, you're gonna have to hear it because it's pretty cool.
And so hold on to your butts. We're about to take you on a wild ride. Now let's get things started with the burning river news. Story of the guys. Bring over a new story of the week. This week. Have you guys heard there's reports of drones all over, like the northeast United States.
[00:08:11] Speaker A: Drones everywhere.
[00:08:12] Speaker B: They're everywhere. And Those extend to the state of Ohio.
I. I saw some videos on social media from, like, Lakewood area. So we're hitting pretty close to home there with being close to Cleveland, suburb of Cleveland, and then also also at Wright Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio, this past week. I think it was on Friday, going into Saturday, the officials of the Air Force base were forced to close airspace for about four hours.
Apparently, nothing to worry about, but. But Aaron Rodgers had something to say about all this in the way that he's gonna be dealing with Kenny. I think you've got this part of the story.
[00:08:55] Speaker A: Yeah. So, officially, drones have been reported in at least six states so far. So New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Ohio. But they originated in New Jersey around the 18th of November. And Aaron Rodgers was on. I believe he was on McAfee talking about this, but essentially saying they've been flying around his house for some time, and he just deals with it, but he seems to think that the origin is extraterrestrial.
[00:09:25] Speaker B: Elaborate, elaborate.
[00:09:27] Speaker A: He just said. He said, quote, there's been some crazy things going on in New Jersey lately, to which they aired a number of videos of these drones. And he basically said, you know, this could be innocent, but left room for more intriguing possibilities. And so to reveal his plan, he said he wanted to kind of take matters into his own hands. And he announced that he was going to host a 5e experience from his New Jersey home to invite extraterrestrial contact through the use of meditation and green lasers.
So, yeah, apparently they do this, like, guided meditation, focused mindset, and tried to open themselves up to create an atmosphere of collective consciousness with deliberate intent to create a conduit for alien communication.
[00:10:21] Speaker B: And with that, the next Aaron Rodgers to Cleveland rumor I hear, I'm punching that person square in the face.
What the fuck is he talking about?
[00:10:29] Speaker A: I mean, to be fair, there's not a lot of good explanations for what these drones are. I mean, they're aliens.
[00:10:34] Speaker B: That's the best we could come up with?
[00:10:36] Speaker A: Well, no, but I'm just saying they keep the. You have all the people in charge, whether from the Biden administration on down to local mayors and, like, Homeland Security officials, basically said, it's a big country. There's almost 800,000 registered drones at the FAA. We don't know what they are, but there's no reason for alarm, even though they're closing airspace over restricted sites.
[00:11:00] Speaker B: Makes sense. Yeah, I accept that.
[00:11:03] Speaker D: And there's no. There's no arrests tied to any of this, right? I mean, because it's illegal.
[00:11:07] Speaker A: There have been a couple. There was one in California and there was one that was flying in like SpaceX restrict restricted atmosphere and they have charged a couple of individuals. Those were in, I want to say California and maybe Virginia, but broadly, like, no, there's still no explanation for like the mass amount of drones that we've seen. There were a couple that they were able to pin on a few guys here and there. But is this the future?
It very well may be. Right. I mean, I think with all these people that have drones and all the industries, whether it's police, law enforcement, whether it's photography, just general content creation, like there's a lot of people that have access to this technology.
[00:11:53] Speaker B: We're getting a drone eventually.
[00:11:55] Speaker A: Yeah. But I mean, I don't know if we would just like hover it over people's houses for fun.
[00:12:01] Speaker B: I mean, a fair point.
[00:12:02] Speaker A: And that's the thing is a lot of these have been found in residential areas, which is strange.
[00:12:06] Speaker B: Yeah, I mean, we, we have skylights on our house. And I know one of the things we're actually currently working on is getting either like automatic shades or some sort of, you know, the window cover. I know you guys have them here. So the window coverings where it's like, it's, it makes it so it's like blurred but still lets most of the light through and everything. Yeah, we're working on covering all of our skylights in that because two of them are over bathrooms. And it's like we have a young daughter now and my, you know, my wife's in our bathroom. And. And it just, it's weird because it like defeats the purpose of like, our skylight in our bathroom is directly over a bathtub. So you can like look at the sky if you want to.
[00:12:45] Speaker A: I mean, the weird and unfortunate thing is when something like this happens now you have the actual incidences, which have happened in a high number and have been reported widely. But then now you also have a number of like, mistaken identity from things like helicopters, from things like stars even, that people are just like, what's that out in the sky? Or even just like people that create content just to scare people and create their own drone videos just to put on the Internet to get hits and go, there's somebody looking at me through my house to kind of scare everyone assholes. But I mean, honestly, like, it is still a big mystery. The Pentagon, the White House. No one really has been able to give a good explanation for what's going on here.
[00:13:30] Speaker B: What do you think it Is outside.
[00:13:32] Speaker A: Of the fact that they swear it's not harmful.
[00:13:34] Speaker D: You know, my mind's gone a few different places. Yeah. Like hoaxes, Russian intelligence. Those are two completely foreign entities.
[00:13:42] Speaker A: Well, it wasn't that long ago.
[00:13:43] Speaker D: Just our military doing some weird shit just to see how people would react.
[00:13:47] Speaker A: Wasn't that long ago we had the Chinese weather balloon.
[00:13:49] Speaker D: Yeah, exactly.
[00:13:50] Speaker B: Chinese forgot about that. It was one of our new stories of the week.
[00:13:54] Speaker D: I think sometimes they like to toy with us just to see how the public will.
[00:13:57] Speaker B: Just see what happens. Yeah, let's just try this out. Let's see what will happen. You guys, I got a theory.
[00:14:02] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:14:03] Speaker B: It's Amazon. They're just trying to figure out how to do their Amazon deliveries with drugs. They just can't figure it out. And these. These drones are all just, like, hovering places. Then people are. And Amazon's like, I don't know how to control this thing yet. So we'll figure it out. We'll get there.
[00:14:17] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, there was one, I think, in New Jersey, Congressman, that essentially has said that there's an Iranian mothership floating out in the Atlantic somewhere and that these drones are effectively their military surveilling us.
[00:14:32] Speaker B: Wait, like, somebody in our government actually said. That's the. That's what's happening.
[00:14:38] Speaker A: Jeff Van Drew in New Jersey is a congressman. U.S. congressman.
[00:14:42] Speaker B: What's his claim to fame? Like, what people. What would you know him for as a congressman?
[00:14:46] Speaker A: He's a congressman.
[00:14:47] Speaker B: Is he. Does he, like, believe in conspiracy theories and all kinds of stuff?
[00:14:51] Speaker A: I don't think.
[00:14:51] Speaker B: Is he a chemtrail congressman?
[00:14:53] Speaker A: But he basically just said, like, this is a national security issue and we should just shoot them all down.
[00:14:58] Speaker B: Oh, okay. Well, I accept.
[00:15:00] Speaker D: I'm into that.
[00:15:00] Speaker A: And he's like, whether they're. Whether they're bad or malicious or nefarious, like, okay, shoot them down. Great. And if they're not, then, like, quit flying your drones over people's houses because we're just going to shoot them down.
[00:15:11] Speaker D: Sure. I like that.
[00:15:12] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:15:13] Speaker A: But the idea of, like, an Iranian mothership that is launching drones for surveillance has been refuted by the Pentagon, at least at this point. But we'll see.
[00:15:24] Speaker B: You know, the Chinese had a weather balloon. Maybe the Iranians are launching drones everywhere.
[00:15:30] Speaker A: True?
[00:15:31] Speaker B: I don't know.
[00:15:32] Speaker A: Very true.
[00:15:32] Speaker B: I don't know.
The future. The future with that future may just be.
[00:15:37] Speaker A: We just have to accept that they're gonna be in our sky all the time watching us.
[00:15:40] Speaker B: Yeah. One more thing. Before we get to the browns. Let me Remind you to call the Burning river sportsc.
Don't forget to call and leave your hot takes on the hot take hotline. Kenny, we got a hot take tonight.
[00:15:49] Speaker A: We do have a hot take tonight. You want to hear it?
[00:15:51] Speaker B: We want to hear it. Do I need to stall for time?
[00:15:53] Speaker A: Let's bring it up here for a second.
[00:15:55] Speaker B: All right, what do we got? What do we got? I think this is gonna be a good one.
[00:15:57] Speaker A: One second. Here we go. Ready?
What's up? It's Kevin from Brown's.
[00:16:02] Speaker F: Back in North Jersey, baby. Calling again. Two weeks in a row. My hot take is.
[00:16:07] Speaker B: Don't put.
[00:16:07] Speaker A: So flick my face.
[00:16:08] Speaker F: My hot take is, why does my father hate me? Why did he put this pain on me 22 years ago and decided, you know what? I want my son to just get bullied throughout life? I mean, yeah, maybe a stronger person, but why does my father hate me? Is my hot day also. Man, we can't win that game. We could be like 9 5, man. All right, catch y'all boys later.
[00:16:31] Speaker B: Kevin from Browns, the Brownsbackers of North Jersey.
You're not wrong. Your dad does hate you.
I'm just kidding. Angry Bobby doesn't hate you. I know Angry Bobby thinks it'll happen one day, and Angry Bobby.
[00:16:47] Speaker A: Look, I think the whole Angry Bobby thing is a facade. Bobby is like.
[00:16:50] Speaker B: He's a softy.
[00:16:51] Speaker A: Like, every time we've interacted with Angry Bobby.
[00:16:53] Speaker B: Hey, guys. How you doing?
[00:16:54] Speaker A: He's, like the nicest guy I've ever met.
[00:16:56] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:16:56] Speaker A: So, like, I don't know where this angry. I mean, maybe he only comes out during Brown's games.
[00:17:00] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:17:01] Speaker A: But every time that we've interacted with Angry Bobby, he has been very mellow, nonchalant Bobby.
[00:17:06] Speaker B: Yeah. And we'll be talking to him again a little bit, so we'll see how he is then. Everybody, all the listeners, pay attention. Let's see how angry Bobby is.
[00:17:14] Speaker A: Let's see if we can get him angry.
[00:17:16] Speaker B: I don't know if I'm going to try that. I'm. I'm afraid to try and get him angry. I'm like, what if he really gets angry?
[00:17:21] Speaker A: Sure. How angry? Yeah, like how he just hulks out on the show.
[00:17:26] Speaker B: I'm not ready to defend myself, so, you know, I'm not. I'm probably not going to go there. But. No, I mean, you're.
[00:17:33] Speaker F: You're.
[00:17:33] Speaker B: You're not wrong. I think a lot of us feel like, what. What did I get myself into in the early years of life that I'm. And Why am I still doing this?
[00:17:41] Speaker A: I kind of have this thought about, like, my own kid. Like, am I going to.
[00:17:45] Speaker B: Are you going to raise him a Browns fan, or you going to tell him? Listen, son, you can pick whatever team you want.
[00:17:49] Speaker A: Like, my. My sister has a son, and he's a Chiefs fan. I mean, he went to the game this weekend. He wears Chief's jersey and all this stuff, and he's weak. Just like. Like, is it just a weak mindset? Or, like, should, like, should I be pounding this into my son? I mean, like, I have started already. Like, I mean, he doesn't know a lot yet, but.
[00:18:07] Speaker B: Yeah, my daughter's young, too, and she says, when I say, what do we say when we football? And she says, let's go, Brown.
[00:18:12] Speaker A: Like, I'm grooming him to be a Browns fan.
[00:18:14] Speaker B: She knows.
[00:18:15] Speaker A: Like, is that the right thing to do?
[00:18:17] Speaker B: You know, you're opening. Is the. The orange helmets with no logo. She knows when she sees those, like, it's football time.
[00:18:23] Speaker A: Like, I mean, it's a different.
[00:18:24] Speaker B: I don't know if it's the right thing to do. We're setting him up for years of.
[00:18:28] Speaker A: Disappointment, of depression, utility, just anxious behavior.
[00:18:32] Speaker B: Yeah, it, like, legit. If you get to be a fan like us and, like, a lot of the people we talk to, it literally ruins, like, six months out of the year for you.
Like, you're just like, here's the Browns.
[00:18:44] Speaker A: But the other six months, you're unrealistically optimistic.
[00:18:46] Speaker B: That's true. It's odd.
[00:18:48] Speaker A: Like, as soon as the season ends, we'll get them next year, boys.
[00:18:51] Speaker B: For absolutely no reason.
[00:18:53] Speaker A: So much hope, with absolutely no evidence to support it, we just accept.
[00:18:58] Speaker B: So maybe it's a good thing for our kids, because if they can see that side of things in life, like, they just have. Have just unrealistic hope and faith in things that they do throughout life.
[00:19:10] Speaker A: Maybe it just teaches them to believe in magic, dreams.
[00:19:15] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:19:15] Speaker A: The tooth fairy.
[00:19:16] Speaker B: If you poop in your dreams, do you poop for real? Or.
[00:19:19] Speaker A: But, like, maybe, like, should I be. Should I be hammering this home so that, like, one day he can take over the Burning River Sportscast?
[00:19:26] Speaker B: Let's go that route. That's good.
[00:19:28] Speaker D: That's good, because I'm not gonna last forever, right?
[00:19:30] Speaker A: I mean, we get, like. We got 100 episodes in when we get to, like, 6,000 episodes.
[00:19:34] Speaker B: This is the last episod episode before Christmas. I know we're gonna get in some Christmas things. It's like the scene at the end of the Santa Claus, the original Santa Claus. And they say, are you gonna be a psychiatrist when you get older? Charlie? He says, nah, I'm gonna go into the. Into the family business. He's talking about Santa. So maybe. Maybe this is the family business, for this is what they do.
[00:19:55] Speaker A: Can we talk about this for a second?
Sidebar. The Santa Claus. Because you mentioned that that was one of your favorite.
[00:20:01] Speaker B: My favorite.
[00:20:02] Speaker A: So I went back and watched the Santa Claus this last week.
[00:20:05] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:20:06] Speaker A: Is it weird that Santa Claus falls off a roof and dies?
Dies, and no one cares? Like, Tim Allen goes to the North Pole. There's no mention of dead Santa Claus. There's no funeral. Like, how long was this Santa Claus, Santa?
[00:20:23] Speaker B: A long time.
[00:20:24] Speaker D: Have you watched the show?
[00:20:25] Speaker A: I just watched the show.
[00:20:27] Speaker D: There's a show on Disney.
[00:20:28] Speaker B: I need to catch up on it. So you can. You can give spoilers the last few years.
[00:20:31] Speaker D: I mean, I don't really remember all of it, but they do go into a little bit of the past Santas and stuff.
[00:20:35] Speaker A: Or, like, was the last Santa kind of a dick because he didn't give that guy his weenie whistle and the woman her mystery date?
[00:20:40] Speaker B: Right? Yeah. Yeah. Maybe.
[00:20:41] Speaker A: Maybe no one cared that.
[00:20:42] Speaker B: That's true. That's true. I. I like the fact that they kind of play on that throughout the movie. And, like, when they're getting ready to send Tim Allen out, he's like, but what if I fall off a roof?
Because nobody acknowledges the fact that that's a possibility. You can fall off the roof and die.
[00:20:56] Speaker A: I mean, the reindeer turn too fast, you fly out of the sleigh.
[00:21:00] Speaker B: My favorite line, since we're talking about the movie. My favorite line from that movie. Movie, and you mentioned the reindeer, is when he's sitting there trying to rationalize what's happening when Santa first falls off the roof and he's like, all right, let's think about this. Reindeer on the roof. Not my fault.
They just keep saying it over and over again. This is my favorite reindeer on the roof.
[00:21:18] Speaker A: I mean, but you don't. We don't find that weird at all, though, that there's no mention of the dead Santa Claus?
[00:21:24] Speaker B: No. I mean, it's a little weird, but, like, I just.
[00:21:28] Speaker A: Or does this just happen so frequently that every year the elves are just, like, up new Santa Claus in town?
[00:21:33] Speaker B: I think it's the opposite. I think the elves live hundreds of years, and it happens so infrequently that they're like, his time. His time came. Like, he's old. He's been being Santa Claus. There was hundreds of years, but there.
[00:21:43] Speaker A: Was no reverence, no anything, no dedication. Just, hey, this new guy's here and he doesn't want to do it.
[00:21:48] Speaker B: Now. I think that's one of the things that you don't see is behind the scenes when you're getting ready for Christmas every year, like, all the elves come by and pay their respects. You're like, if you go down, man, we love you.
[00:21:58] Speaker A: This is our goodbye.
[00:21:59] Speaker D: This is it.
[00:22:01] Speaker B: This might be it. This could be it.
[00:22:03] Speaker A: Because at any time you could fly right off a roof.
[00:22:05] Speaker B: Yeah, that's my theory.
[00:22:07] Speaker A: Why didn't Santa give the weenie whistle to that guy when he was three? That's a real dick move.
[00:22:11] Speaker B: Yeah, he wasn't as good of a.
[00:22:13] Speaker A: Santa, just a three year old.
[00:22:14] Speaker B: Maybe he's just been doing it for so long that he just. He forgot.
[00:22:17] Speaker A: You tell me. That kid was not.
[00:22:18] Speaker B: He needed an old Hallmark movie to, to make him realize the true meaning of Christmas. I don't know.
[00:22:22] Speaker A: I just found it weird, like going back and watching it that like. Like nobody, nobody even cared about old Santa.
[00:22:27] Speaker B: Listen, here's. You're. The problem with America is you don't just accept the problem. Yeah. You just don't accept movies. You're like, I gotta find every plot hole in this. No, it's a great Christmas movie and it's fun. That's. That's the answer. Nobody cares about all this you're talking about, so just shut up.
[00:22:46] Speaker A: I think it's the elf on the shelf guys. I think they're up to something.
[00:22:49] Speaker B: That. That could be the drones.
[00:22:53] Speaker D: Is that how they move around?
[00:22:55] Speaker A: Are the El.
[00:22:56] Speaker B: By the way, just so everybody knows, the number for the hot take hotline is 3302-2780-8033-0227-808 0330, 2278-0803-3022-7808. Call. Leave your hot takes on the hot take hotline. I want to hear a hot take on whether or not you look for these plot holes in the Santa Claus or you just accept that it's a great Christmas movie.
[00:23:19] Speaker A: I just think it's weird.
[00:23:20] Speaker B: You just sound like an asshole.
[00:23:21] Speaker A: Think it's weird. And if he just gave that guy his weenie whistle, he'd have been a lifelong believer.
[00:23:25] Speaker B: Times like this, I just question our friendship, like, every aspect of it. I hate you. Shut up, Shut up, shut up. All right. If you're looking for the weekly recap, you're looking the wrong place. You got to go back into whichever podcast.
[00:23:37] Speaker A: We did that already.
[00:23:38] Speaker B: No, we didn't.
[00:23:38] Speaker A: Yeah, we did it on Sunday.
[00:23:40] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We did the. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Go back. Go back into whichever podcast platform you're watching or listening on and look for our live episode from Sunday night after the game. It was pretty good. We got into some good conversation. I came into that thing thinking it was gonna be a quick episode, and we really took a deep dive into, like, what the fuck's gonna happen?
[00:24:00] Speaker A: We can really stretch out Brown stuff. There's nothing to talk about.
[00:24:03] Speaker B: We can, but. Yeah, so go back and find that. But right now, we're gonna go to the Burning River Sportscast. Dog of the Week.
Doesn't matter, man.
[00:24:14] Speaker A: You gotta play tough people in the National Football League. You gotta be ready.
[00:24:18] Speaker B: And we gotta be the dogs that we are every time we step on there on Sunday.
[00:24:22] Speaker A: And be ready to attack and don't.
[00:24:24] Speaker B: Stop until we're in that loc.
All right, so this week on our live show, we nominated the following Browns players for dog of the week. Kenny drew him forward.
[00:24:35] Speaker A: He had a good return again, Bone.
[00:24:37] Speaker D: Oh, Mike hall, he showed up a little bit.
[00:24:40] Speaker B: He had one tackle.
And I nominated Jerry Judy. And after the fan vote that was conducted on our socials, this week's burning reverse sportscast Dog of the week is Jerry Judy.
[00:24:54] Speaker A: If you wanna win, put Judy in.
[00:24:57] Speaker B: Judy. Judy. Judy. Judy. All right, so for the third week in a row, Jerry Judy is the dog. He's really. Come on, Gangbusters. Second half of the season here coming on you.
[00:25:08] Speaker D: I kind of like him.
[00:25:09] Speaker B: Yeah, I kind of like that guy.
[00:25:11] Speaker A: He could be a real receiver.
[00:25:12] Speaker B: Yeah, I like him. This week, 14 targets, 11 receptions, 108 yards, 9.8 yards per catch and a 20 yard long. He did not get in the end zone this week, but still a big game nonetheless. Yeah. I mean, this guy's been phenomenal the second half of the season. So.
[00:25:28] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:25:29] Speaker B: Gives us hope.
[00:25:30] Speaker A: One of the few. One of the loan breaks we talk.
[00:25:32] Speaker B: About the hope that Browns fans hold on to.
[00:25:34] Speaker A: Hold on to this guy.
[00:25:35] Speaker B: He's the.
[00:25:36] Speaker A: Over the quarterback is next year he'll have Jerry Judy to throw to.
[00:25:39] Speaker B: That's one feather in the cap.
[00:25:41] Speaker A: Yeah. Do you think Denver at any point is like, gosh, if we had Bo Nicks and Jerry Judy, we'd be really good. Really, really good this year.
[00:25:48] Speaker B: Probably better than we are now, which is already pretty good.
[00:25:50] Speaker A: But for whatever reason, we ran out of patience with this guy.
[00:25:53] Speaker B: Yeah. Bad job out of them. We got him for next to nothing. So though it's interesting to see him.
[00:25:56] Speaker A: In the number of guys in recent memory that have just needed a change of scenery.
[00:26:00] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:26:00] Speaker A: To really blossom into. To really good players.
[00:26:04] Speaker B: Yeah. That's fair.
[00:26:05] Speaker D: And the fact he's doing it with the Browns with just the situation this year.
[00:26:08] Speaker A: Right. Makes no sense.
[00:26:09] Speaker B: He had half a season with DeShawn who was the assiest ass of all asses. Like he's so ass.
[00:26:14] Speaker A: Well, like even like Russell Wilson. Like Russell Wilson was putrid in den. Actually, honestly, he wasn't even that bad endeavor. I think he was like 26 touchdowns to like eight interceptions.
[00:26:22] Speaker B: No, it was kind of just long there. It was the situation and the fact that the team wasn't very good still.
[00:26:27] Speaker A: It wasn't like Russell was feeding Jerry Judy. Jerry Judy. They were like, he's a bust. And they couldn't wait to ship him out.
[00:26:32] Speaker B: Yeah, we got him. And look at, look at him go. He's not. But in case anyone's wondering, he's currently the fourth best receiver in the league as far as yards.
[00:26:39] Speaker D: Gosham was his quarterback for six games.
[00:26:43] Speaker A: Seven.
[00:26:43] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:26:44] Speaker D: Seven.
[00:26:44] Speaker B: Yeah. Six and a half.
[00:26:45] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:26:46] Speaker B: Yeah. So yeah, I mean, he's really good.
[00:26:49] Speaker D: It's pretty good.
[00:26:50] Speaker B: And he's going to have DTR the last three weeks, so still finish top five.
[00:26:53] Speaker A: I wonder how that'll be if DTR gets starts the rest of the year.
[00:26:57] Speaker B: I don't know. They bench Jamis and then Stefanic. Stefan. I almost said it. Stefanik went on to say he hasn't committed to any quarterbacks for this week.
[00:27:07] Speaker A: Well, he just basically said you can't turn the ball over that much, which is fair. But the thing is, is that with James, you get the lows, but you also get the highs. I mean, let's not forget like James has made some incredible 500 yards against the Broncos. Incredible games after taking time, taking over a starter.
But I think that's just. Is what you get now.
[00:27:26] Speaker B: Yeah. There were multiple reports out of Berea today though, saying that they're most likely going to DTR for the rest of the season.
[00:27:32] Speaker A: I just can't just.
[00:27:34] Speaker B: I'm not saying that's our news. I'm just saying like there were reports they are tanking.
[00:27:37] Speaker A: I just can't see why. Unless you are. I mean, tanking is one thing I.
[00:27:41] Speaker B: Try to tell everybody. 3 and 14.
[00:27:42] Speaker A: I mean, I just don't.
[00:27:43] Speaker B: I didn't tell them that at the beginning of the year. I said the opposite.
[00:27:46] Speaker D: If that's the reason I don't mind it, I guess, because I would rather them lose the rest of their games.
[00:27:50] Speaker B: I mean, what it does for you, too, is it's like, okay, let's officially put, like, the Kabula kibosh on dtr. Being anything with the future of this team, like, he's done.
[00:27:59] Speaker A: I feel like the kibosh is there, and I don't think you need the kibosh. I think. I think he's fine.
[00:28:03] Speaker B: How many times can we say kibosh in a short period of time?
[00:28:05] Speaker A: Yeah, let's kibosh the kibosh. I. I think. I think that he's fine as a backup. I don't mind having DTR as a guy or even a change of pace guy, right? Where if you want to put him in for a series, in a game where it's rainy and weird and you just want to run quarterback power six times on a drive.
[00:28:20] Speaker B: Like, a couple of things. One, if you want to win, put Judy in.
[00:28:23] Speaker A: Put Judy in.
[00:28:24] Speaker B: Yeah. And two, all this kabash talk is making me want some kab for some reason. It's, like, close, but not the same. Not the same.
[00:28:30] Speaker D: I don't know, but Kabasi or like Kabuli or like Kabasi.
[00:28:34] Speaker B: I'm Polish. Yeah. I want. I want some. Yeah.
[00:28:37] Speaker A: My name starts with K, and I've never heard so many names or words start with K in, like, this short of time.
[00:28:43] Speaker B: I don't know what we're even talking about anymore. I'll be honest with you. But yeah. Jerry. Judy, dog of the week for the third week in a row. We appreciate that out of you.
Usually I get into other Browns news, but I don't give a shit. There's not really any other Browns news. We suck. We're not very good. So right now, it's time for the Burger Hoedown throwdown.
All right, enough of that.
[00:29:39] Speaker A: That was a good.
[00:29:40] Speaker B: That was a good one, guys. Listeners out there, I just encourage you to dance with us because sometimes we just need some levity.
[00:29:46] Speaker A: Yeah, that's right. You gotta dance sometimes.
[00:29:48] Speaker B: This team. This team. Not very good. Dance, dance, dance, dance.
Falling apart to halftime. You know what it's time for? It's time for the division roundup for.
[00:30:09] Speaker A: The Burning River Sportscast.
[00:30:10] Speaker B: Yeah, it's a good one. It's a good one. So the Bengals were on Monday Night Football last week when we were recording the episode, they were playing Dallas. They ended up beating Dallas, and we all picked that game, right? So we're adding that in here. So that's one and oh, for everybody.
Cincinnati this week took on the Titans and dominated two and oh for everybody. We all picked Cincinnati against the Titans. Titans are so bad. Titans might be worse than the Browns. That's scary.
[00:30:35] Speaker A: They're really bad.
[00:30:36] Speaker B: Yeah, Baltimore got the Giants this week and no surprises there. The R, the Ravens, absolutely humped them.
We were all right there. Three and oh for everybody. On the Burning river sportscast, Pittsburgh lost to the Eagles. We all picked that one right? As well. Four, zero and obviously the Browns lost to the Chiefs. Guys, we did it. 50 for everybody on the Burning river sportscast, we went 15 for 15 in this week's games.
[00:31:00] Speaker A: That's pretty impressive. Yeah, not a good season, by and large, but that was a good week.
[00:31:06] Speaker B: No, not very good. And so for the AFC north, the standings are as follows. Pittsburgh's on top at 10 and 4.
Baltimore is right behind them at 9 and 5, which makes this week really interesting. We'll get into that later. Cincinnati behind. Behind them at 6 and 8. And then Cleveland 3 and 11.
[00:31:25] Speaker A: Feels bad.
[00:31:25] Speaker B: Feels real bad. So current king of the north standings, which we'll talk more about this later as well. Bone after 5.0 this week, you are at 29 and 19 and not looking back to 500.
I am just. Just over 500 now at 25 and 23. And Kenny, you're almost at 500. You're at 23 and 25.
[00:31:45] Speaker A: I'm getting there.
[00:31:45] Speaker B: How'd you go five zero in a week and you still didn't make it back to five. 500?
[00:31:50] Speaker A: It's been a hard year.
[00:31:53] Speaker B: And so with that, let's go ahead and get into our hot three.
All right, guys. So in addition to this being our 100th episode, Christmas is next week. So this is the last, last in studio episode we have before Christmas.
[00:32:23] Speaker A: Very nice.
[00:32:24] Speaker B: And what better gift to get a loved one than the Jackhawk 9000? All right, I'm burning up. A sportscast. I'm kidding. But seriously, with Christmas comes a Christmas Christmas themed Hot 3 this week. Christmas carols.
[00:32:37] Speaker A: I'm telling you, there's a culture warrior out there somewhere that's trying to cancel us right now.
[00:32:40] Speaker B: Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas.
[00:32:43] Speaker A: They're like, isn't this a football podcast? Why do we got to get all.
[00:32:46] Speaker B: Well, maybe I'm gonna start a Christmas podcast.
[00:32:48] Speaker A: Asked, what if I don't celebrate Christmas.
[00:32:51] Speaker B: Guys, who wants to go? First year, I'm going to go with.
Should we go bone?
[00:32:55] Speaker A: Yeah, let's go bone for.
[00:32:56] Speaker B: Let's go bone. Bone.
[00:32:56] Speaker D: Interesting.
[00:32:57] Speaker B: What are your hot Three Christmas carols or Christmas songs or whatever the hell you want to call them.
[00:33:01] Speaker D: All right. Yeah, I. I got some here.
[00:33:04] Speaker B: What's number three? Number.
[00:33:05] Speaker D: Oh, number three. Mary. Did you know?
[00:33:08] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:33:09] Speaker D: Great lyrics. I just. I just love the. The message behind.
[00:33:12] Speaker B: Can you sing us some of it?
[00:33:14] Speaker D: Oh, yeah. It's like a lot of females cover it. I think it sounds better with the specific version.
[00:33:19] Speaker B: Version that you like.
[00:33:21] Speaker D: Pentatonix. It is a really good one. Like, at Acapella, Carrie Underwood covers it. It's fantastic. Just because her voice.
[00:33:28] Speaker B: Which one? I need one.
[00:33:29] Speaker D: Pentatonix.
[00:33:30] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:33:30] Speaker D: Yeah, it's. Mary, did you know that you're baby boy? And then she carries on to, like, other verses, like what he would do in his life, essentially.
[00:33:40] Speaker B: Okay. Yeah, I like that.
[00:33:42] Speaker A: Got me excited.
[00:33:43] Speaker D: That was. That's, like, the newest song that I got that was made in 1999. One Fair.
[00:33:50] Speaker B: Fair. What's next?
[00:33:51] Speaker D: Next one. The oldest song I got. And this is Angels we have Heard on High.
[00:33:56] Speaker A: This is a straight hymnal.
[00:33:59] Speaker D: From what I read it, it kind of covers the book of Luke in the Christmas Story.
[00:34:04] Speaker B: Is it accredited to a specific artist?
[00:34:06] Speaker D: Oh, no, no. It goes all the way back to 1862. It was originally written in French, author unknown. And then it was covered by many people in the. Rewritten.
[00:34:14] Speaker A: The French?
[00:34:15] Speaker B: Yeah, the French.
[00:34:16] Speaker A: I don't know if they've even ever heard this song.
[00:34:18] Speaker B: Yeah, I gotta hear this.
[00:34:20] Speaker D: It's the glow.
[00:34:24] Speaker B: Oh, I have heard this.
[00:34:34] Speaker D: Angels we have heard on High.
[00:34:38] Speaker B: I like it.
[00:34:39] Speaker D: There's a lot of people cover it, and it's really well done. It gets dramatic.
[00:34:42] Speaker B: Do you have a specific version of this that you.
[00:34:45] Speaker D: No, I just said it's covered by me people. But I'm sure, like, for King and Country, I love their Christmas album and the. The songs that they cover. They're really into drums and stuff like that, and they just. They do nice work.
[00:34:57] Speaker B: Well, that's what you're stuck with. For King and Country.
[00:34:59] Speaker A: My favorite cover is Bones cover.
[00:35:03] Speaker D: I just.
[00:35:03] Speaker A: I heard it.
[00:35:04] Speaker D: I actually heard it on the way here, and I don't know who sang it. It might have been For King and.
[00:35:07] Speaker B: Country said bone cover.
[00:35:09] Speaker D: So I added it to my list because I was like, that was good.
[00:35:11] Speaker B: AKA the condom helmet.
What's your number? It's weird sandwiching that word in between all these religious songs.
[00:35:19] Speaker A: Christmas, Christmas, Christmas.
[00:35:21] Speaker B: Yeah, but what do you got for number one?
[00:35:22] Speaker D: Number one is Little Drummer Boy. And this is by. For. For King and Country. It's not. They didn't Write it. But their cover of it is fantastic because they're. They use. They utilize drums in all their concerts, like in a. In a way I've never heard anybody ever do.
But it was originally written in 1941. It was first recorded in 1951. And here's a fun fact by the Austrian Trap Feature family, you know, made famous, you know, through the Sound of Music. Yeah. So they were the first ones to actually record this song.
[00:35:48] Speaker B: Incredible.
[00:35:49] Speaker D: I thought that was.
[00:35:49] Speaker B: I like how he's bringing us history with all of his songs. I wasn't. I wasn't prepared for that.
[00:35:54] Speaker D: I was just curious about, you know, where these songs come from because most of them are all covers these days, you know, and our favorite. Whatever artists or versions are, are newer.
[00:36:02] Speaker B: So fair.
[00:36:03] Speaker A: My dad used to sing this and my mom hated it, cuz he would sing that. Rub your tum tum, Rub your tum tum. And she was just like, that's not how it goes.
[00:36:13] Speaker B: I like.
[00:36:14] Speaker D: So, yeah, me and my drum.
[00:36:18] Speaker B: Ted always had the best songs.
[00:36:19] Speaker A: Rub your dumb. Dumb.
[00:36:20] Speaker B: Yeah, I can. I'm just like, that's great.
[00:36:23] Speaker D: That makes.
[00:36:23] Speaker B: I can. I can hear that in my head. Yeah.
In case anyone doesn't know, Kenny's dad, Ted was a legend.
[00:36:31] Speaker A: I just.
[00:36:32] Speaker B: I just want to throw that out there. We. We all love Ted so much. He had a huge impact on all of us growing up.
[00:36:37] Speaker D: Absolutely.
[00:36:38] Speaker B: Yeah. With that, I'll go next.
My hot three. We'll start with number three. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays by NSync. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. I just like that they got everybody involved. You know, we're talking about Christmas bone involved. Yeah. Did you hear. Did you hear that. That beautiful music we made together?
But yeah.
[00:37:05] Speaker D: Harmony, Ronnie.
[00:37:06] Speaker B: Yeah. I couldn't think of the word. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you. Yeah.
[00:37:17] Speaker A: Just call.
[00:37:18] Speaker B: He just all over me, he's like, oh, my favorite songs are all these Christian songs. By the way, you're terrible at thinking.
[00:37:26] Speaker D: I wasn't calling you out. My point was we had a connection there and it sounded fantastic. That was my.
[00:37:31] Speaker A: I liked it better when he called you out.
[00:37:32] Speaker B: I apologize for letting. Letting Kenny sway me and think that you were talking.
Kenny, you're an number two for me. And this is actually a new one. This song has been so annoying for me for so long.
However, my daughter can talk and sing now. You know, I got. I got a toddler and she belts Jingle Bells.
[00:37:55] Speaker A: Your wife was a good singer, so you're probably going to have a lot.
[00:37:57] Speaker B: She's still a really good singer in.
[00:37:59] Speaker A: The house growing up.
[00:37:59] Speaker B: She's still a really good singer. She'll. I'll catch her singing sometimes. I'm like this. That's lovely.
[00:38:04] Speaker A: She's got a nice voice.
[00:38:05] Speaker B: Yeah, she does. And, but, But. But my daughter belts Jingle Bells now, and so I put in here for number two, Jingle Bells, as sung by my daughter.
And her version of it is something like Jingle bells, Jingle bells Jingle all the way.
So it's very nice, but it's just no harmony there. No, but it is just. I mean, honestly, it's one of those weird things, like, a song that, like, really, you know, it's been played so many times. It kind of grates on you after a while. But as soon as she started singing and I fell in love with Jingle Bells again.
[00:38:37] Speaker A: And those weird moments as a parent where people go like, you don't get it until you have kids.
[00:38:41] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah.
[00:38:42] Speaker A: It's exactly randomly, like, something like that will, like, you just. You're like, how can I love you anymore?
[00:38:49] Speaker B: Yeah, it's. That's exactly what it is. And it's like, even like, if I'm having a bad day or something and she comes home from school and just belting Jingle Bells, I'm like, all right, I feel a lot better now. Like, it just. I feel good. So that's number two. And number one for me is actually a pretty new song. It's Ed Sheeran and Elton John. Merry Christmas. Christmas. This is a. A recent song. They wrote it a couple years ago and recorded it for, like, a charity event.
[00:39:16] Speaker A: Ellen John, right? Elton John. That you're in.
[00:39:19] Speaker B: Yeah, that's what I said. Did I not say that?
[00:39:20] Speaker A: No, I just confirmed it was Elton John.
[00:39:22] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[00:39:23] Speaker A: Like, kind of misheard.
[00:39:24] Speaker B: Yeah. So. But yeah, that it was recorded a few years ago for. For, like, a charity event, and it's just really catchy. It's so. Kiss me under the mistletoe Pour out some wine let's toast and pray for December snow I know there's been pain this year, but it's time to let it go.
[00:39:42] Speaker A: You kind of look like a horribly disfigured Ed Sheeran.
[00:39:45] Speaker B: Thank you.
[00:39:45] Speaker A: Or even a horribly disfigured Elton John.
[00:39:48] Speaker B: Really? I was gonna sing more of the song, but I guess I'll shut up now. Jesus.
Wow. Ed Sheeran's already kind of goofy looking, and he went with, I'm horribly disfigured Ed Sheeran. Thank you again. This is why I question every facet of our friendship and why I still Talk to you ever.
I guess I'll shut the up now. Kenny, what's your. What are your Hot three Christmas carols?
[00:40:14] Speaker A: Oh, gosh.
[00:40:15] Speaker B: Usually it's me getting you. So I guess. I guess I had this coming.
[00:40:18] Speaker A: Yeah, you had it coming. I'm coming on you.
Hot three.
[00:40:22] Speaker B: Ew.
[00:40:24] Speaker A: War is over.
[00:40:26] Speaker B: Yes.
I love this one, but I didn't put in my Hot three.
[00:40:32] Speaker A: This is just a classic Christmas tune. It's also known as Happy Xma by John Lennon and Yoko Ono.
Pretty. I feel like this is probably one. Everybody knows it's.
So this is Christmas and what have you done?
Another year over and a new one just begun. Yeah, that one.
[00:40:57] Speaker B: So a very Merry Christmas.
[00:40:59] Speaker D: Great song.
[00:41:00] Speaker A: When I think about all, like, the ones that really get a happy New Year, really get me in the Christmas movie. Like, that one just always hits me a certain way. Yeah, okay, so I like that one. This is one of my favorites too. Of all time is Last Christmas Wham.
[00:41:14] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:41:15] Speaker A: Just like. It's just one of the catchiest, like, for me, the catchiest Christmas songs because it's. It's like more modern sounding and like poppy. Like, I like that.
[00:41:25] Speaker B: Wham has an exclamation point at the end of their band name.
[00:41:28] Speaker A: Yeah, we should put an exclamation point at the end of Burning River Sportscast.
It only gets ever said like that.
[00:41:35] Speaker B: Yeah, we don't really say it any other way.
[00:41:37] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:41:37] Speaker B: So how can you.
[00:41:39] Speaker A: Last Christmas I gave you my heart but the very next day you gave it away for me.
And then this one I know will be controversial.
[00:41:52] Speaker B: Let's hear it.
[00:41:53] Speaker A: I know that, you know, we talked about the culture warriors that are out to get you.
[00:41:57] Speaker B: I know which one you're going with.
[00:41:59] Speaker A: It's old classic. Baby, it's Cold Outside.
[00:42:03] Speaker D: Oh, yeah.
[00:42:03] Speaker A: Just one of the greatest, like, honestly, like, version.
Oh, God, what's is.
Jesus. What's his name?
[00:42:13] Speaker D: Nat King Cole or something?
[00:42:15] Speaker B: Bing Crosby.
[00:42:15] Speaker A: Dean Martin. Crosby, yeah.
[00:42:18] Speaker B: Was it Dean Martin?
[00:42:19] Speaker A: Dean Martin, I think.
[00:42:21] Speaker B: Keep going. I. I'll find it.
[00:42:23] Speaker A: Dean Martin and Marilyn Maxwell.
[00:42:27] Speaker B: You keep going.
[00:42:27] Speaker A: It's really old. But anyway, I mean, this song again, has come under fire in recent years because of some of the lyrics. Maybe, you know, we. We've been told that this. This Christmas song, which is a kind of a gentle nudging of a guy, like, trying to get his, you know, love to stay the night or whatever because it's so cold outside, has turned into like a rape culture example because he apparently spikes her drink or something. But I just love Like, Tom Cotter has a great comedic routine on this. I don't know if you've heard this or not, but.
[00:43:04] Speaker D: Oh, this is great.
[00:43:05] Speaker A: Basically, he's like, is. Is this really problematic? Like, this song from the 50s where this guy is like, kind of gently trying to, like, nudge her, when at the same time, in our culture, Wet Ass Pussy is not just a top song. Like, it is the top song. So it kind of goes through. Through. Like, to give you a quick comparison, the lyrics to Wet Ass.
Yeah, you effing with some wet ass Bring a bucket and a mop for this wet ass Give me everything you got for this wet ass Beat it up N word, catch a charge Extra large and extra hard Put this right in your face Swipe your nose like a credit card Hop on top I wanna ride I do a Kegel wallets inside Spit in my mouth look at my eyes this pussy is wet Come take a D.
Compared to, like, anything Dean Martin has ever said his entire life.
[00:43:57] Speaker B: You're the one editing this episode. You know that, right?
[00:44:02] Speaker A: But it's just. It's just one of those things that's like. It's ridiculous. When again we're. I'll.
[00:44:07] Speaker B: Kenny uses absurdity to illustrate because this.
[00:44:10] Speaker A: Was People's Choice award for favorite collaboration, American Music Award for favorite rap song.
[00:44:16] Speaker B: In the same year that they're canceling.
[00:44:17] Speaker A: Award for video of the year, Best collaboration, best song of the year and best hip hop video. Seven different. Aw. This song, Juan. And we're worried about Baby It's Cold Outside to be fear.
[00:44:27] Speaker B: To be fear. To be fair, the backlash for maybe It's Cold Outside. I actually was just reading about this today. Has kind of subsided for basically all of the reasons that you just stated is. Is people took a look at it and they're like, I guess we really can't talk about this song when this stuff's going on. So like, like, in the past couple years, there was. There was a lot of radio stations that took it completely off of their. Their list. It's back on most of them. If you notice, when you're listening to.
[00:44:50] Speaker A: Christmas music, it's really a pretty harmless jingle at the end of the day.
[00:44:53] Speaker B: Well, I think most really start. Like, enough people fought back against the backlash and said, no, this is like a flirty song. Like, it's like she, you know, like.
[00:45:03] Speaker A: She'S being coy too. She's. Yeah, I want.
[00:45:05] Speaker B: That's what you were. That's what you were supposed to.
[00:45:06] Speaker A: But I really should go home. But I really do Want to stay, you know? Yeah. So, yeah, that's one culture where I'd love to end, but my favorite Christmas song of all time, that is.
[00:45:19] Speaker B: Oh, nice.
[00:45:20] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Pretty cold outside.
[00:45:22] Speaker B: Are you gonna sing some of it?
That's what I was waiting for.
[00:45:25] Speaker A: Oh, you were waiting for the actual song?
[00:45:26] Speaker B: Yeah. Sing it.
[00:45:30] Speaker A: Really can't stay I need somebody that can sing it with me. Baby, it's cold outside I've got to go away Baby, it's cold outside this evening has been so very nice.
My mother will start to worry something. My father will be facing the floor.
Yeah, that one.
[00:45:56] Speaker B: Yeah, I got you. Yeah. I don't know all the words to it because it's not my favorite, but it was. It's good. Yeah, I like it. Yeah. I don't think there's any controversy. I think the controversy is with the controversy.
[00:46:07] Speaker A: Agreed. F controversy. F it all.
[00:46:10] Speaker B: Yeah. F it, guys. That'll do it for Hot three.
[00:46:14] Speaker A: All right.
[00:46:15] Speaker B: I like your Christmas carols. I appreciate that. We'll come back to those.
[00:46:18] Speaker A: This was a good. This was a good collaboration here.
[00:46:20] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:46:20] Speaker A: Maybe it'll win collaboration of the year.
[00:46:22] Speaker B: Maybe.
[00:46:23] Speaker A: Wet ass Pussycan this.
[00:46:24] Speaker B: Can I have high hopes?
Oh, yeah.
[00:46:31] Speaker A: Congratulations.
[00:46:32] Speaker B: Burning river sportscast.
[00:46:34] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:46:35] Speaker B: 100 episodes in county. So go ahead, everybody.
[00:46:39] Speaker A: Everyone check them out every week. Everything that's Brown's, every content you can find out there, they got it. And now time to go on for 100 plus more.
[00:46:54] Speaker B: Kenny, I think it's time for an interview.
[00:46:56] Speaker A: Oh, God, so many interviews. Let's do it.
[00:46:58] Speaker B: No, let's do it. Something we started last year, we're continuing this year as our Browns backers interview series. We wanted to highlight brownsbackers groups because they're great Browns fans and they do a lot of good for their community. So without further ado, let's go ahead and get into the next interview in the series.
[00:47:18] Speaker A: Powered by Riverside F.
[00:47:24] Speaker B: All right, so for this brownsbackers interview, please help me welcome, from that city in southern Ohio where the only people that are considered Ohio citizens are the Browns fans residing there, the president of the Sin day lucky dogs, Kurt. Kurt, thank you so much for joining us today. How are you?
[00:47:42] Speaker E: I'm doing great. Here we go, Brownies. Here we go.
[00:47:46] Speaker B: Hell, yes. I like the enthusiasm. Given the record, I appreciate it.
[00:47:50] Speaker A: It's been a long year.
[00:47:51] Speaker B: Yeah.
But, yeah. Before we get to the Browns, I actually want to. To talk about you and your chapter. So can you tell us about your chapter? You know, things like when you were established. What's your Viewing location, number of members, all that good stuff.
[00:48:03] Speaker E: Yeah, we were established in 2008 and. And I became president few years later. So this is my 14th year as. As president.
And what else?
I'm trying to think what else? You asked me.
[00:48:22] Speaker B: Oh, you're good. So 2000, 2008, your 14 years president. Viewing location.
[00:48:28] Speaker E: Yeah, Viewing location is the Lucky Dog Grill in Mason, Ohio. And we have about.
Roughly about 250 active members. And of course, getting everyone there each week is a challenge with the things that going on. But we try to keep things exciting and interesting so people will come and watch the game. And in this day and age, it's a big difference between back in 2008, when I first joined and became president a little while later. That NFL ticket and all the streaming and all that stuff that exists today makes it more of a challenge to get everybody out to the club to watch the game. But we do our best and we're proud of our club and. And we try to. We stay pretty active with a lot of charities and charity fundraisers and just a lot of fun stuff.
[00:49:26] Speaker B: Yeah, and you mentioned charities. Are there any particular charities that you're working with down there?
[00:49:32] Speaker E: Yeah, for the most part, we do a few charities, one of which, obviously is the Cleveland Browns Foundation. We do that from our golf outing in the summer, and we donate from there direct to the Cleveland Browns Foundation. There's also Animal Friends shelter that we give to each year, and Blue Line K9, which is an organization that funds police dogs.
You believe. You wouldn't believe what they. Police dogs have to get. They get bulletproof versions. Us is part of their. And then there's lots of training that goes into search and rescue and all the various things that the police dogs do. And then we've also been donating to a organization called Family Promise, which helps homeless people in Butler county, which is our county down here, Butler county area. And this past year, those three charities together, we donate about $6,000 to.
To, you know, divided that out across those charities. Now, you mentioned about if I happen to have the swear word or something like that. Well, that's part of our fundraising, is our swearing. We have a swear jar on our display table every week, and when the bronze play forces you to use words that mother wouldn't approve of, you have to donate to the swear jar. Well, at the end of the year, that swear jar all goes to Animal Friends, and along with, everybody brings in bags of dog food and things like that. So I fill up my car with my suv, is completely filled with dog food and then. And all the swear jar money.
So we gave approximately about $600 total from the swear jar, and some people matched the funds in the swear jar individually.
And then our club match did a match. So we had good year this year with swearing.
[00:51:45] Speaker B: I can only imagine. And I'll tell you this. This is actually, like, a growing trend among Brownsbackers groups. I think you're, like, the third or fourth in a row that we've heard has a swear jar. And I think. I think every brownsbackers group should have a swear jar, because you get seasons like this, and all of a sudden donations are going to skyrocket. And even though you're.
[00:52:03] Speaker A: You're.
[00:52:04] Speaker B: You're more or less pissed off about the Browns, you know, you're doing something good.
[00:52:08] Speaker A: You need more cheer to.
[00:52:10] Speaker E: I think we might have been one of the first to have the swear jar, because I'm always promoting it with the other backer clubs. Just, we get together and we discuss various tactics, things that we do, and. But anyway, went on first or whatever. It's a growing trend, and everything goes for a good cause.
[00:52:34] Speaker B: Absolutely. And so. No, that's awesome. All the charities you're helping out with and that you guys are donating, donating to. I love to hear the numbers. Just because you start adding these numbers up. You mentioned 6,000. You know, you get another four somewhere from a different Brownsbackers group, another three somewhere else, two somewhere else. This stuff starts to add up. And. And we're talking big numbers that the Brownsbackers are contributing to their, you know, respective communities across the nation. So just awesome to hear. So are there any. Do you. Go ahead.
[00:53:04] Speaker A: I was gonna say, Kurt, I noticed you guys have a pretty neat logo here with the. The whole wishbone or the whole horseshoe thing going on. Wishbone with the dog. Do you guys do a lot of, like, merchandise sales? Do you do shirts and hats and things as well?
[00:53:16] Speaker E: We. We have a raffle every halftime, so in the first half, we're selling the raffle tickets. And, of course, a lot of that funds the charities that we donate to. So we. We do have a raffle. We have a golf raffle, which goes. And those funds go to the Browns Fund Foundation.
But. Yeah, and then sometimes we have side raffles. We get some unique prize or whatever, you know, an autographed jersey or something like that. We do that as a side raffle. Again, it's all raising money for the charities.
[00:53:53] Speaker B: Yeah, for sure. And do you have any events coming up? I know you mentioned you have Your raffles for each halftime. And I'm sure you guys have another big watch party this week with the Browns coming to town. But is there a special party for that or even in the near future, any other events that you guys are hosting?
[00:54:11] Speaker E: As far as the Browns playing here in Cincinnati against the Bengals, there's another club that's been around much longer, and that's the Greater Cincinnati Browns backers.
[00:54:24] Speaker B: Joe. We interviewed them last year, actually, when the Browns played in Cincinnati. So we know them well.
[00:54:30] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:54:30] Speaker E: And we work together on a lot of things. But Dale will organize a tailgate night. Tailgate. A Sunday morning tailgate. And I promoted in my newsletters to my club, and a lot of our members will go to the tailgate. Of course, a lot of them will have tickets, too. So there'll be a good presence of Browns fans in. In the.
Not the Bengal Stadium. I call it the litter box.
And they're the litter box. So there'll be a lot of Browns fans there.
[00:55:03] Speaker B: I like that. I'm gonna start using that on the show.
[00:55:05] Speaker A: Perfect.
[00:55:06] Speaker B: Yeah.
And so, yeah, I mean, it's a good segue onto the. Onto the football side of things here. What are your thoughts just on this year's version of the Cleveland Browns? Obviously, things haven't gone as well as we all would have hoped, but, you know, what. What do you think? Where. Where did it all go wrong?
[00:55:21] Speaker A: How do we get here?
[00:55:22] Speaker E: Well, I mean, when you give out, dish out $230 million guarantee guaranteed to somebody, and it just doesn't seem to be working out, that hurts. And of course, what hurts, I think even more than that is we gave up three first round draft picks. And when it comes to bench strength right now with all the injuries and things that we're having, our offensive line was a lot of injuries there. I mean, three years of first round picks. You could have got a Hall of Fame offensive tackle, or you could have got a cornerback, a lockdown corner, a great wide receiver, receiver. What, you know, there's got, you know, and that hurts, you know, So I think moving forward, I really think we might have to, you know, cut the cord with Watson and just, you know, hey, we've got to move on, you know, but that's. That's a difficult decision. And, and I think Stefanski, this is my take on. On him. I've always said from the get go that he need. We need a head coach. And it really, it wasn't until this year that he dropped the oc, you know, offensive coordinator duties. And it's like, well, we got to give him a chance, see how well he can do as a quote unquote, head coach. Because when you're a head coach, you got to be, you know, conducting the entire orchestra, not just one instrument of, you know, this offensive. You know, I gotta look. Look at my playbook all the time. Whenever you look at the sideline at Stefanski, he's got the playbook and it's like, hey, you need to be in some people's faces and, you know, coaching and doing the head coaching job. So maybe he'll be a good head coach. But it really wasn't. It's only been like four or five games that he truly was being what, in my opinion, a true head coach.
[00:57:18] Speaker B: Yeah. And I mean, it is a small sample size, but if those four or five games are any indication, I'm not, not feeling good about this.
[00:57:25] Speaker A: And given that this was. These were, you know, generally front office decisions, right? Giving up the draft picks, the contract with Deshaun Watson, Kevin's, you know, desire to keep calling plays. Do you still have faith in this coaching staff, this front office, to, you know, make the right picks in this year's NFL draft and to lead this team going forward, or do you think it's time maybe to see some change at that level?
[00:57:49] Speaker E: I think I still got faith. And part of that is just being hardcore bronze fans, you know, we just don't die, I guess, you know, and I just really think in the whole scheme of things, there was one huge mistake, which I think was the just putting all your eggs in that one basket for Watson. I think overall, the coaching, you know, there's a lot, I mean, playing Monday morning quarterback every week, you know, why did we run the ball? Why did we the ball in that situation or whatever, there's always going to be that. But I think, you know, the.
It's all there. It's just. I mean, when you look at the Steelers right now, they lost Roethlisberger a few years back, and it's like, oh, they're gonna be lousy for the next several years, you know, but they've got a system in place and one piece of the puzzle comes out and they plug it back in with another piece of the puzzle. But that same system, system is still. Is still going, you know, and over and over. And so we need to get to that point. And I'm afraid that, you know, are we. Are we going to be sitting looking at a, oh, we got a three to four year build up again that nobody wants that, you know, we need to be good now. You know, we can't wait another three or four years because we got players on the team. Miles Garrett and Betonio, Wyatt Teller. Those guys are all. They're going to be retiring by the time we.
[00:59:20] Speaker B: On top of that, some of them are starting to lay down ultimatums. I mean, I don't know if anybody saw Miles Garrett this week come out and say, you know, yeah, I want to be here if we're moving in the right direction. So, you know, you got players that are longtime players on this team, you know, been here years now, and are supposed to be leaders on this team that are seemingly fed up with kind of where we're at with things. So I don't know. I don't know how we most likely end up 3 and 14 and there's no turnover whatsoever. I just don't see it. I don't know how that can happen. And I don't think the players will like it if that's what happens. Because you go 3 and 14 with as much talent as this team has, something's wrong somewhere. The players, I guarantee, are pointing the finger right at the coaches, right at the front office because. Because they said, look at what we have, and this is what we did.
[01:00:17] Speaker A: Well, like, even Zadarius Smith didn't want to be traded. I mean, he wanted to be a Brown. It just wasn't the way it worked out.
[01:00:24] Speaker B: Yeah. And so, yeah, I mean, that's. That's all tough. As far as this week's game, though, I'm just, you know, I could talk about. I know we all could talk about all the problems with the Browns and what we could do going forward for a long, long time, but we're going to shift gears and talk about this week's game. So with the game coming up this weekend against the Bengals, you know, what are they saying down there in Cincinnati? Are they saying there's an easy win?
[01:00:52] Speaker E: Not really, because I think the Bengals haven't really had that breakout year themselves. So. And also one thing that I really like with our team right now, even with all the injuries and that our defense and the defensive coordinator has done really well, and the Bengals don't play. Play well against a good defense.
We've got. I'm not going to say we've got Joe Burrow's number, but we've had some good games against him where we had interceptions and stopped them. And Bengals are a scoring machine, but their defense doesn't add up either. So I think even with everything going on with the Browns, whether Winston's going to be the quarterback or whether. Or whatever.
I think we can move the ball on Cincinnati and there's nothing coming out down here in the newspapers. Oh, this will be an easy win. You know, I think they know better than that. You know, is there.
[01:01:54] Speaker A: Is there conversation down there starting around Zach Taylor and his potential? You know, being on the hot seat just given their. They haven't made the playoffs really, since their super bowl runs.
[01:02:07] Speaker E: Okay, I kind of missed that.
[01:02:10] Speaker A: The head coach of the Bengals is there. Have you heard any chatter or talk just about him being on seat?
[01:02:17] Speaker E: I think two things are. I think the defensive coordinator is more on the hot seat than the head coach. That's. That's what I'm hearing more of from. From fans and the locals. And. But at the same time, I think, you know, that coach isn't, you know, he's. He got. He's got a little thin ice underneath him, too, you know, so. But it. I don't pay too much attention to, you know, I just kind of focus on my Browns. Okay. We got the Bengals coming up, and let's just. We. We need to beat the Bengals because that's, you know, the Steelers, the Bengals, and, you know, Baltimore, you know, we've got to take care of businesses when. When we. When we play them.
[01:03:02] Speaker A: Fair enough.
[01:03:03] Speaker B: Absolutely. And so with that being said, what's your score prediction for this weekend with the Browns against the Bengals?
[01:03:09] Speaker E: Okay, you're putting me on the spot here. I'm going to say 27 to 21 Browns.
[01:03:16] Speaker B: Wow.
I like that you still have faith. I said it. I said it early on in the interview, and I'm gonna say it again. I'm at the point where I just pick against the Browns every week. I just assume they're gonna lose. So I really appreciate, Kurt, that you guys are keeping the faith down down there and you think that we are going to steal because what else are you going to call it at this point? We're going to steal a division victory over the Bengals this week.
[01:03:39] Speaker A: The Bengals are still in the playoff fund, so we can. We could be the one that takes spoilers.
[01:03:43] Speaker B: Spoilers.
[01:03:44] Speaker E: We beat the Steelers and we beat the Ravens, and they're both going to be in the playoffs.
[01:03:49] Speaker B: I'm sure that's true.
[01:03:50] Speaker A: That's true.
[01:03:51] Speaker B: That's true. So. Well, listen, Kurt, it's been great talking to you. We really appreciate it. We appreciate your time. Keep doing big things down there in Cincinnati with the Cindy Lucky Dogs, and we hope to get down there and meet you guys in person sometime real soon.
[01:04:06] Speaker E: Okay?
We're the Cindy Lucky Dogs, and you're listening to the Burning River Sportscast. Go bound.
[01:04:30] Speaker B: Hey, what's going on, everyone? This is John Hughes, former Browns defensive lineman. I just want to take this moment to congratulate my guys, Kenny, Ronnie Bone, and the rest of the crew over at Burning River Sportscast on hitting this huge milestone of 100 episodes. I had a great time this past year being a defensive analyst on the show, being able to come on and, you know, talk Browns football, break down games and, you know, really just talk about my own personal experiences I had for my playing days. And it was always fun because it was with, you know, such a passionate, knowledgeable crew of guys. You know, the work you guys put in and the dedication doesn't go unnoticed, man.
You know. So all the fans out there that are listening into the Bernie River Sportscast team, I just want to say congratulations again on reaching this huge, huge achievement. And here's the next hundred episodes, man. Keep up the great work, man. Kenny, good time talking to Kurt from the sin day. Lucky dogs, huh?
[01:05:26] Speaker A: Yeah, Kurt was a nice guy.
They raised a ton of money this year, which is good.
[01:05:31] Speaker B: Yeah. Good job. Especially anytime I hear anything over like a thousand dollars for any of these clubs.
Right. That's what I'm saying. Given the. Given a terrible year for the Browns, it's just impressive because you got to remember, I understand they're in Ohio, but they're also in Cincinnati. They're in the heart of a division rival and they still were able to raise that much money through events and different donations for the charities that they're supporting down there. So.
[01:05:56] Speaker A: Pretty wild. Yeah.
[01:05:57] Speaker B: In this. In this year.
[01:05:58] Speaker A: I also like the fact that he's like emperor emeritus president because he's been in office for like 15 years.
[01:06:04] Speaker B: Yeah. Most people we talked to, it's like five or less and like, you know, it kind of rotates because people have their turn and then it kind of moves on to somebody else.
[01:06:11] Speaker A: I mean, I think it just goes to. To credit, like his leadership, his. His commitment to the. The job because it is hard and takes a lot of time.
[01:06:18] Speaker B: Oh, Cap Captain.
[01:06:20] Speaker A: No, but that the people are. The people in the group consistently are like, yeah, this is the guy. Like, let's. Let's run through a wall for this dude.
[01:06:26] Speaker B: So, yeah, good job there.
But with that, let's go ahead and take a quick revenue break and then get back here and talk about the Week 16 matchup with the Bengals.

[01:07:28] Speaker D: Keep pumping out great content and as always, go Browns.
[01:07:37] Speaker B: All right guys, it's time for the Week 16 preview brought to you by True Fan Travel.
All right guys, this week Cincinnati Bengals Round 2 Round 2 this Week in Cincinnati. Kenny, you know what it's time for?
[01:08:02] Speaker A: Is it Kenny's Cliff Notes?
[01:08:04] Speaker B: It's time for Kenny's Cliff.
[01:08:09] Speaker D: There it is.
[01:08:10] Speaker A: Oh there it is.
[01:08:12] Speaker B: Your dumb face on this thing.
[01:08:14] Speaker A: Bengals Cliff Notes the Browns head to Northern Kentucky to take on the six and eight Bangles in what has also been a disappointing season for the Bourbon Country Cats.
[01:08:24] Speaker B: Wow.
[01:08:24] Speaker A: Not yet mathematically eliminated. They are problematically eliminated as the playoff pitcher continues to take shape. With rumors starting to swirl about Zach Taylor's future, it appears he's on the hot seat of the hot seat and this final stretch may determine his future in the Blue Grass State. Despite being burgled in a recent victory in which Joe Burrow was caught dropping multiple left bombs at his coach, including saying we're effing embarrassing f that and we effing suck today. Joe Bro continues a Lights Out 2024 campaign. Just shy of 4,000 passing yards on the season with the career and franchise high 36 touchdowns to just eight interceptions. Despite the acquisition of Zach Moss in the off season, Chase Brown of all people has become their running back number one with over 800 yards on the season and likely will finish as a thousand yard back. Jamar Chase continues to have the best year of his career. Just 40 yards shy of his all time yards mark and already a career high in touchdowns with 15. It'll be interesting to see where he ends up next year. Since the poverty stricken Bengals refused to pay their top athlete T. Higgins and Andre Yosivas, the Romanian Rocket continue to be dangerous alternate options and tight end Mike kasicki is nearing 500 yards in a city season, putting him in the team's top three for yards on the season. A disappointing year for this defense as they rank 27th overall despite a number of talented players on the unit. Trey Hendrickson leads the way.
[01:09:44] Speaker B: Nice last name.
[01:09:47] Speaker A: My last name is Thunder with a solid 12 and a half sacks so far this season, as well as Jermaine Pratt, Logan Wilson and Cam Taylor Britt as their leading tacklers. Despite the down year for this group, they do rank 10th in interceptions, which probably spells doom for turnover happy Jamis Winston or the untested DTR should it get the start. Kade York has made a comeback in orange with Evan McFerson hitting the IR and is yet to miss a kick for the Kentucky Bengals. Go Browns.
[01:10:15] Speaker B: You know who has missed kicks?
[01:10:17] Speaker A: All of our kickers.
[01:10:18] Speaker B: Dustin Hopkins.
[01:10:19] Speaker A: Not. Not Riley Patterson. Not yet.
[01:10:20] Speaker B: He hasn't missed. He's.
[01:10:21] Speaker A: He's over. He's one for one on extra points.
[01:10:23] Speaker B: All right. I guess with that it's time for Ronnie Jam's matchups.
You want the matchups that matter? No. Well, good, cuz I'm not going to give them to you.
[01:10:40] Speaker A: I mean, I thought you wanted me to do them.
[01:10:42] Speaker B: There's no matchups that matter this week. The Browns suck.
[01:10:46] Speaker A: There's not anything they turned the ball.
[01:10:47] Speaker B: Over six times last week.
No, I'm not. I could break this thing down for you. Tell you there's this one area where we could possibly exploit the Bengals and do really well, but I'm not going to because that one area isn't going to outweigh the other 45 that we are just ass at. This team is bad. They're really bad. So let me just get straight to the summary here. The Bengals 6 and 8 coming off back to back wins. Things look like they're finally starting to click for the team. Very much alive and desperately trying to claw themselves back into the playoff picture.
Bottom here's. Here's the deal though. Defense. Bottom 10 in everything. Bottom 5 in several categories. Their defense is not good.
So if we were going to win, we'd have to score lots of points.
There's a problem there. We don't score lots of points.
[01:11:35] Speaker A: We haven't scored many lately.
[01:11:37] Speaker B: No, no. On the flip side of the ball, the Bengals are just, just absolutely potent on offense.
[01:11:45] Speaker A: Omnipotent.
[01:11:46] Speaker B: Yeah, they rank as opposed to the bottom 10 and everything. On defense they rank in the top 10 and everything on offense. The one area where they do rank low is they ranked 29th in rushing offense. But that's because Joe Burrow is a top 10 quarterback in the league.
[01:12:01] Speaker A: Zach Mossy and Donald Brown, Chase Brown aren't very good.
[01:12:04] Speaker B: Yeah, exactly. So like I said, Joe Burrow, he's probably the top quarterback in the league right now. The only reason he's not an MVP conversations is because they're below.500. If they finish this season above.500, if they get back and they win these last three games and they go 9 and 8, I think Joe Burrow is the MVP this year.
[01:12:22] Speaker A: They won't go 9 and 8.
[01:12:23] Speaker B: I mean, I hope not, but I'm just saying on the other side, the Browns 3 and 11 coming off another loss, this time to the Chiefs. This was one of the worst feeling losses I can remember in. The Cowboys game was only 15 weeks ago. The Giants game was 13 weeks ago. The Raiders game was 12 weeks ago. The Commanders game was 11 weeks ago. The Eagles week was. Eagles game was 10 weeks ago. The Bengals game, other Bengals game was nine weeks ago. The Chargers game was seven weeks ago. The Saints game was five weeks ago. The Broncos game was two weeks ago. The Steelers game was one week ago. Guys, this feels really bad that I have to keep adding to this fucking list. Like, are you kidding me?
[01:12:57] Speaker A: Every week.
[01:12:58] Speaker B: Seriously, The Browns are not good. They're really, really bad. Like really bad defensively, bottom 10 in almost all categories. They do rank 11th in third down defense though, so I guess that's good. Not that any team ever has to go to third down against them. And then offensively, they rank in the bottom half in every single category on offense, in dead last in third down conversion. So yeah, bad offense, bad defense, bad team. Like, they're just really bad.
[01:13:26] Speaker A: Bad special teams too.
[01:13:28] Speaker B: Yeah, I didn't even bother to mention that.
The. The only, the only thing we can hope for this week is if we have any chance to somehow end the Bengals playoff aspirations is for a huge upset. And it's all I can say is just weird things sometimes happen in division games.
But don't get that twisted. I'm not really giving us a shot that one. I don't think we win. So with that being said, it's time for bone, man. Skeleton key to victory.
Well, what do you got, Bone?
[01:14:07] Speaker D: It's pretty simple. Turnovers. Win the. Win the turnover batter battle, take care of the ball, get strip sacks, get interceptions.
[01:14:14] Speaker B: I'll give you some turnover batter.
[01:14:17] Speaker D: It wasn't just. It wasn't. It wasn't just Jameis Winston last week. I mean, Chubb had a pretty rough day. Yeah, turned it over once too. Yeah, there was that fluke kind of interception off of Chubb that was wild.
[01:14:28] Speaker B: I don't really.
[01:14:29] Speaker D: It was just bizarre.
[01:14:30] Speaker B: He also had to stretch out pretty far for that catch. Like.
[01:14:32] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. But I also trust Nick Chubb's hands usually.
[01:14:35] Speaker D: He normally comes down with that. So that kind of sucks. I mean, Jameis got destroyed, I think, like, from a. Like a guy just coming off the backside. Just.
[01:14:44] Speaker B: I didn't even mention on Sunday's show that, you know, we gave up five sacks in that game. So it was. That's bad.
[01:14:48] Speaker D: So, yeah, whoever's quarterbacking. Yeah. Take care of the ball.
[01:14:51] Speaker B: The whole damn offense take care of the ball.
[01:14:53] Speaker D: Take care of the ball.
[01:14:53] Speaker B: And special teams take care of the ball.
[01:14:55] Speaker A: Are you saying six turnovers is not.
[01:14:57] Speaker D: Leads to. Leads to losses?
[01:15:00] Speaker B: Plus or minus, guys, plus or minus on six turnovers this week?
[01:15:04] Speaker D: Minus.
Am I gambling correct?
[01:15:07] Speaker B: He.
[01:15:07] Speaker A: My gambling correct?
[01:15:09] Speaker B: He was very hesitant to give a minus. And mine is quite. Yeah, I don't know.
[01:15:15] Speaker D: That's it. That's it. It's a simple one. It's an obvious one.
[01:15:18] Speaker B: One that we haven't done in weeks.
[01:15:20] Speaker D: Yeah. Maybe all year. Turnovers have not been our friend this year. We haven't caused any.
[01:15:27] Speaker A: No.
[01:15:28] Speaker D: Our defense has been lacking.
[01:15:29] Speaker A: We just give them away.
[01:15:30] Speaker B: No. So there you have it. The only chance we have is to win the turnover battle, and I'm not confident in the Browns in that category. So, Kenny, you got betting info for us?
[01:15:39] Speaker A: Bengals minus seven over under at 48 and a half.
[01:15:45] Speaker B: I feel like 48 and a half could be scored by the Bengals themselves.
[01:15:49] Speaker A: True.
[01:15:49] Speaker B: Kenny, who's your player to watch in this one?
[01:15:51] Speaker A: I'm gonna go. Bojo, I think you were mentioning sometimes weird things happen. I think this game comes down to fake punt. And Bojo, since he's the team mvp, is just putting the team on his back and he's gonna carry this thing. He's gonna tote the rock.
[01:16:07] Speaker B: Is this gonna be like a lady.
[01:16:10] Speaker A: Yeah, just gon.
That's how the Browns are going to win the game.
[01:16:14] Speaker B: I love it. I love it. Bone, who's your player to watch this week?
[01:16:17] Speaker D: Oh, man.
I guess I got to go. Jerry Judy. Cause I don't know if you guys are so.
[01:16:21] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:16:22] Speaker D: Jerry Judy. Keep his. What does he have like 100 game yard streak going right now or.
[01:16:26] Speaker A: It's got to be close.
[01:16:27] Speaker D: Yeah, I don't know.
[01:16:28] Speaker B: I think last week he only had like 98 or something like that. Okay, like, like, not. Not the.
[01:16:33] Speaker A: But he's probably has like A hundred out of, like, in the last six of his last eight games.
[01:16:37] Speaker D: Yeah, it's been impressive. So let's. Let's keep him rolling. If it's with dtr, hopefully they have a connection. Hopefully DTR can get him the ball.
[01:16:43] Speaker B: Since James took over, I believe he's either one or two in yards. Since James took over, so first in yards. I think he is. So, yeah, I mean, that's. That's a. That's a fair point. And he was kind of my second choice. I'm gonna go with Jerome Ford just because Nick Chubb back on ir, unfortunately, Jerome Ford to. I think all of our surprises has shown some flashes these last few weeks. And. And maybe he sees the writing on the wall that this might. You know, we hate to say that, but this might actually be the end of Nick Chub as we know him. If they do bring him back, I think it's going to be at the. At minimum, just like a complete split down the middle as far as carries. It was weird.
[01:17:23] Speaker A: They asked a lot of people in the locker room about Nick Chub after the loss on Sunday, and everyone unanimously was like, yeah, if Nick Chubb wants to be a Brown next year, he will be.
I thought that was. I mean, it's just maybe just guys having their back, just trying to say the right thing to the media. But, I mean, but maybe.
[01:17:41] Speaker B: Maybe what they said was not like, just. Just talk. Like when they brought him back, you know, after the injury and doing his contract again. And what they said was like, I.
[01:17:50] Speaker A: Mean, it's possible the front office might have not told one lie. And then, like, Nick Chubb.
[01:17:54] Speaker B: And because Nick Chubb said that, the front office contacted him, said, the main reason why we want to hang on to you is you're so important. Important to this city.
[01:18:01] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:18:02] Speaker B: And if that's the case and that's legitimate, then I just don't think they're gonna give him any money, like, at all. So he's gonna have to take a huge hometown discount to stay with the team.
[01:18:11] Speaker A: And you can. You can. You can't. It's his third injury to no extremity.
[01:18:16] Speaker B: And I agree with it. I love Nick.
[01:18:18] Speaker A: 29.
[01:18:18] Speaker B: Yeah, I love Nick Chubb, but you cannot pay the man. You can't do it.
[01:18:23] Speaker A: And I mean, it's that. It's those kinds of circumstances that set Guy up for, like. Like return player of the year.
[01:18:29] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:18:30] Speaker A: Like, he could. Hey, he could. Whether he's with the Browns because this.
[01:18:32] Speaker B: This injury, even though it's bad, he'll Be there.
[01:18:35] Speaker A: He'll be through training camp and stuff. Like, he should be okay and healthy by then. So, like, he could very easily go on to have 1100 or 1300 yards next year if he gets a whole season of work, regardless of where he's at. But. But I just. I mean, how many more of those and how many more of these kind of like injuries like this can he sustain?
[01:18:55] Speaker B: Yeah, but. Yeah, for those reasons, I'm going. Jerome Ford, I think he's got a fire lit under him a little bit right now.
No burning over Sports Gas put him out.
But I think going. He just wants to prove something going into the end of the season and prove that he could be the back going into next year.
[01:19:12] Speaker A: So maybe we'll have a Pierre strong sighting.
[01:19:16] Speaker B: Maybe. Probably not.
[01:19:17] Speaker D: He still exists on the.
[01:19:18] Speaker B: I don't know.
[01:19:18] Speaker A: He got some time when DTR hit the field.
[01:19:22] Speaker B: All right, guys. So obviously it's our hundredth episode right now. And so one of the things that we wanted to do today, Kenny, is bring in some guests that we've had throughout this first hundred episodes. Some of our favorite guests, and this one in particular is special because we had to bring them back because we really messed up the first time around, and we wanted to introduce them properly.
So let's real quick, let's welcome Kevin and Bobby from the Brownsbackers of North Jers.
Hey, guys. How are you?
[01:19:57] Speaker G: Love it. Thank you.
[01:19:58] Speaker F: We are back and happy to be here.
[01:20:01] Speaker G: We're honored to be on your 100th show.
[01:20:03] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. And we're honored to have you. I mean, seriously, though, we. We've made so many connections through this whole journey and. And getting things to where they are now. We've seen lots of changes. I mean, just look at the studio, and it's. It's changed drastically.
[01:20:16] Speaker A: And.
[01:20:16] Speaker B: Yeah, the highlight of all of it is, is the people that we've connected with and the things we've been able to do with Fello fans and those types of things, and you guys are no exception. You know, obviously, anytime that we're able to, we try and, you know, we're trying to connect. We met up with you guys at the. The President's Summit this year. That was a lot of fun. I'm hoping to do that again next year. And, yeah, just.
[01:20:39] Speaker A: And the angry Bobby.
[01:20:40] Speaker B: The angry Bobby open. So you can't miss that. I'm pretty sure we. Kenny's basically told me, even though I'll have a fairly newborn baby, he's like, tell your wife you don't care. About the kid that week. You're going to North Jersey.
[01:20:52] Speaker A: We gotta start playing it now. You gotta let her know.
[01:20:54] Speaker B: Yeah, because what's. What's the date on.
[01:20:56] Speaker A: What's the date on that?
[01:20:57] Speaker G: Guys, you were correct. It's the first week of June.
[01:20:59] Speaker A: First week of June.
[01:21:01] Speaker G: June 6th.
[01:21:01] Speaker A: Perfect.
[01:21:02] Speaker B: Bobby doesn't miss a beat. He listens to every minute of every show.
[01:21:05] Speaker A: So that's why we're going to the. The Angry Bobby Open Man.
[01:21:08] Speaker B: Yeah. So we should be out there for that. It's gonna. I'm sure it's gonna be a hell of a time, Kevin. Who. Whose team drinks more, ours or yours?
[01:21:17] Speaker F: Well, I finally started getting better, but the past. The years before, I was terrible. So I'm like, I'm just here to have a good time. So I was just enjoying the time and we'll see.
[01:21:29] Speaker G: He's already. He's already changing teams. We lost. We lost last year, so.
[01:21:34] Speaker F: So he kicked me. So me and my buddy are joining my other friends, so he's got.
[01:21:38] Speaker D: He's.
[01:21:38] Speaker B: So who kicked who off the team? Did Bobby or Kevin kick the Off. Other one off the team?
[01:21:42] Speaker F: Well, my. My uncle's flying out from Arizona, so he decided to pick him up. And my buddies want to play this time. Unfortunately, they're Steelers and Ravens fans, so we're going to try and get some Browns polos on them, but we'll see what happens.
[01:21:55] Speaker B: Well, I hope you guys come in last.
And I can see why you kicked him off your team, associating with people like that.
[01:22:02] Speaker A: Yeah, can't have that.
[01:22:04] Speaker B: At first, I was going to go with, man, it sounds like there's some bad blood, and I think Kevin's got a point. But after I hear all the details, I realize that Bobby really actually playing.
[01:22:13] Speaker G: Way better than I am. Way better.
[01:22:16] Speaker B: So I don't. You're going to let that happen. Since when are we letting our sons win?
[01:22:21] Speaker F: Like putting a Brownstone on me 22 years ago.
[01:22:26] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah.
[01:22:27] Speaker A: Never forgive.
[01:22:28] Speaker B: Yeah. So how. Besides the golf outing, getting ready for that, because obviously you can't look forward to Brown Sundays right now. How have things been going out there in North Jersey? Any. Any big development for you guys?
No.
[01:22:43] Speaker A: Again, we.
[01:22:44] Speaker G: We used a lot of the money from the. This past golf outing. We, you know, made all our donations.
It's been. It's been really tough trying to keep the club together, but, you know, we have a lot of Die Hards. We've been averaging 25 a week, which is pretty outstanding, especially for North Jersey.
But, you know, we, we, we want the season to end.
[01:23:06] Speaker A: I want to get the season over with.
[01:23:08] Speaker E: It's draft time.
[01:23:09] Speaker F: Mock drafts are back, baby.
[01:23:11] Speaker G: We party. The last week of the year, last.
[01:23:13] Speaker A: Game of the year.
[01:23:14] Speaker G: I just want to get it over with because I'm just like. But our new location has been fantastic. The guy has been, he, I think he sees dollar signs because, you know, he's, he sees how bad we are and we still have all these people coming.
[01:23:28] Speaker B: Just imagine when it's good.
[01:23:30] Speaker G: I know that that's what he said.
[01:23:31] Speaker F: That's what we tell him.
[01:23:32] Speaker G: It's like, it's like the stock market, you know, like.
[01:23:35] Speaker B: And so real quick, what's the name of your, your viewing location? I know it, but just, just for, just for listeners out there, it's the Black Rabbit saloon. So in case anyone doesn't know, BRS is their reviewing location. So very nice. It sounds like a mighty fine establishment.
[01:23:52] Speaker A: A strong acronym there.
[01:23:53] Speaker B: Yes, but no, I mean, yeah, once the season's over, everybody can kind of start looking forward to next season. It's like hope has, has been renewed because we don't have to talk about this anymore.
[01:24:04] Speaker A: So you mentioned the NFL draft. Do you have, is there an apple of your eye at the moment?
[01:24:10] Speaker F: I've been looking.
I really don't know. I think after this past week, I don't know what quarterback's going to be because they bench Jamis. So I really don't know what they're going to do. And now with all the DeShawn news, you got to bring some stuff in.
[01:24:26] Speaker G: You got, Kevin's got his eye on Jackson.
[01:24:29] Speaker F: I like Jackson dark for some reason. I think he's got, I think he's got some power. I think he's got some, some pep in his step. But we'll see.
[01:24:35] Speaker A: He's got one of the best names in the draft, that's for sure.
[01:24:38] Speaker F: Exactly.
[01:24:38] Speaker B: That's a pretty bad happening. So if Deshaun Watson starts next week, can we all resign as fans next year? Next. Next year. That's what I'll think next week. My God, if he starts next year, can we all resign as fans?
[01:24:50] Speaker G: Yeah, I, I, I, I don't know. I saw this new, that news came out at the end of last week. I'm like, we can't be serious here. We really can't.
[01:24:57] Speaker F: I saw a thing that the people were canceling their season tickets because of the, the news that dropped, which I don't know how true that is, but at.
[01:25:06] Speaker B: Probably true.
[01:25:06] Speaker F: Probably something's got to change. And I just, it's, at some point it's got to lean back on him. And unfortunately, I hate saying it because he's still a member of the Cleveland Browns, but he's not what he used to be. And at some point someone's got to change.
[01:25:21] Speaker B: I just can't imagine at 3 and 14, which is what I assume we're going to finish.
And how do you bring back the front office, the coaching staff, the quarterback, everybody? And he's like, let's just run it back. Like, like, what is the rest of the division thinking right now? They're like, hell y running back. Please, please do that.
[01:25:39] Speaker F: As every player that goes against us, it's Cleveland's. Cleveland, they, they see doing the same bull crap they do every year. So, so I. People laugh with us.
[01:25:48] Speaker B: So.
[01:25:48] Speaker A: Yeah. How bad did the JuJu Smith Schuster touchdown feel then?
[01:25:53] Speaker G: Every time I saw Kareem Hunt run.
[01:25:54] Speaker B: The ball, I was like, yeah, it was awful.
[01:25:58] Speaker A: It's never, never good. So, so, so do you think quarterback is in the cards this year in the draft, or is it you thinking maybe you want to wait a year? Just given the talent that's coming out.
[01:26:08] Speaker G: I'd rather wait a year.
[01:26:11] Speaker F: It just depends on what happens next year then.
[01:26:13] Speaker A: I.
[01:26:13] Speaker F: Obviously Andrew Barry loves who he drafts and DTR played last game, but he looked how his DTR has always looked.
[01:26:20] Speaker G: Like, I don't want to see DTR ever again.
[01:26:23] Speaker B: Me neither.
[01:26:23] Speaker A: So are you, are you in favor of just bringing Jameis back for one more season as they try and kind of rebuild things next year?
[01:26:29] Speaker E: Yes.
[01:26:29] Speaker G: I mean, I know he throws, but, you know, you gotta give and take. That's, you know, that's what he is and he's been giving away too much lately, but I think he gives us right now the best chance to win.
[01:26:42] Speaker B: I bet Kevin Stefanski would argue with you.
[01:26:47] Speaker A: Yeah, he thinks Deshaun gives you the best chance to win every week. Yeah, definitely not.
[01:26:53] Speaker B: Oh, and apologies. I should be fine. Right now. It's, we've officially gone back to call calling him Stefanic.
Yeah, he's no longer Stefanski in the, in this studio or anywhere that we're doing our podcast. He's now Stefanic.
[01:27:07] Speaker A: No respect.
[01:27:07] Speaker B: So if you guys want to refer to him as such, feel free.
[01:27:11] Speaker F: Maybe depending on next week.
[01:27:13] Speaker G: So you guys, don't, you, you want to see him go. It's basically.
[01:27:16] Speaker B: Yeah, I mean, I, I, at this point, I think two time coach of the year is a farce because here's the deal. We talked about it On Sunday at the. On the live episode. Episode is. Is 40 and 41. Now, meanwhile, you got Mike Tomlin over there who's never won coach of the year. So coach of the year don't mean. Let's just be honest. Yeah.
[01:27:34] Speaker G: Win it last year, too, I think.
[01:27:38] Speaker B: And Mike Tomlin's never been below.500. He's in the playoffs every year, and somehow Kevin Stefanski is the guy that gets 2 out of 4 coach of the year. So I just. I just don't think it means.
[01:27:47] Speaker A: And you look at the results, I mean, you go third place, third place, fourth place, second place, fourth, fourth place. Like, I don't. It's like, is that the culture we want to continue to build? I don't like.
[01:27:56] Speaker F: I don't like being average. I don't like being below average. I don't like being average. I want to be above average.
[01:28:01] Speaker B: Yeah. And if you bring everybody back here, you bring the front office, bring the coaches, you bring the quarterback, you're just promoting mediocrity at that point. You're like, yeah, that's what we want to be.
[01:28:10] Speaker A: Mediocrity and stability.
[01:28:13] Speaker B: Great, great, great.
[01:28:14] Speaker G: I think 3 and 14. He'll be cleaning house after, I think. Think 3 and 14.
[01:28:19] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:28:20] Speaker A: Yeah, I agree.
[01:28:21] Speaker B: So. Hey, guys. Well, listen, it's been great checking in with you. I hate to cut our chat short. I. You know, unfortunately, we do have a lot of people stopping in. You guys were generous enough to give us some time. Again, this is our hundredth episode. Do you think we have another hundred in us?
[01:28:37] Speaker G: Oh, no doubt.
[01:28:38] Speaker F: Absolutely. And congratulations, by the way. I didn't say it before, but congratulations on the 100.
[01:28:41] Speaker B: So, yes, we appreciate it. We really. We really do. And again, thank you guys so much, because without group like yours, you know, not only the Brownsbackers of North Jersey, but every other brownsbackers group that we've talked to, all the other listeners out there that aren't a part of brownsbackers group, but should be.
We appreciate everyone because we can't keep doing what we're doing without the things you guys do. So thank you so much.
[01:29:07] Speaker G: You guys are the. You will be the game day sponsor for the last week of the year.
[01:29:12] Speaker B: Hell, yes.
[01:29:13] Speaker A: Excellent.
[01:29:14] Speaker B: Hell yes.
[01:29:14] Speaker A: Very nice.
[01:29:15] Speaker B: I definitely. I. There's a flag coming. Coming your way, so.
[01:29:17] Speaker A: All right.
[01:29:18] Speaker B: Keep an eye out. Make sure.
[01:29:19] Speaker G: Hanging up for the party.
[01:29:20] Speaker B: Yeah. There you go. So, guys, again, I appreciate it. Thank you so much for your time.
[01:29:25] Speaker A: We'll see you soon.
[01:29:27] Speaker B: See you the first week of June.
[01:29:28] Speaker A: First week Of June.
[01:29:29] Speaker G: All righty.
[01:29:29] Speaker B: Take care.
[01:29:30] Speaker A: Hell yeah, guys. We'll see you.
[01:29:34] Speaker B: Guys. It's time to get gassed up.
Yeah, you heard me right. It's that time again, boys. Is there anything that we're getting gassed up about?
Who should I start with? Did you, did you start the last one? We'll start with. Sure.
[01:29:56] Speaker A: You want to start with me?
[01:29:58] Speaker B: I'm getting pretty gassed up this week. I got one that I'm serious about.
[01:30:01] Speaker A: So you should probably start with yours.
[01:30:02] Speaker B: All right, I'll start this week, guys.
I'm gassed up this week. And it all. It's been kind of. Kind of brewing for the last couple weeks, but my daughter goes to daycare and there's this lady that is teaching. Teaching her class. Or, or. Or she's the, the person in charge of the class. Not really in charge. She's like the second. She's like the. The assistant right now.
[01:30:26] Speaker A: Assistant to the regional manager.
[01:30:28] Speaker B: Exactly. But she's. She's kind of in charge of the class, more or less for. She fills in the last couple of weeks because one of the teachers is on leave. Right. This lady is the meanest fucking lady I've ever seen in my entire life. Like, she's ridiculous. And today the incident today is this. This is exactly what happened. My wife walks in to pick our daughter up from daycare and this lady is there. And we, we've already noted, like, this lady's not nice. The kids seem to be kind of afraid of her. They're toddlers, mind you. This. The. The classroom that my daughter is in is 8. It's supposed to be 18 to 24 months. She's a little bit past the two year mark, but it's supposed to be 18 to 24 Months.
So just keep that in mind through the. This whole story. Yeah, we've noted a couple times this lady's just like rude to the kids. She talks to them like they're stupid. Like these are toddlers.
[01:31:18] Speaker A: Like they are stupid.
[01:31:19] Speaker B: Like, well, like borderline, like infants. Like they're toddlers, early toddlers. And she talks to them like. Like they're like. She's just so rude and condescending and mean and disgusting to these kids.
Today my wife walks in to pick our daughter up from daycare and this lady looks at my wife and then looks at our daughter and she says, are you going to tell your mom how you were today or am I?
And my wife is just like, she already doesn't. Like, we, we don't like this lady. So my Wife just kind of ignored it and was like, I don't know what the she's talking about. So I'm just going to, I'm not going to acknowledge it. And she says it again, the same thing. Are you going to tell her or am I? To my daughter who's just over two years old. Yeah. And finally my wife is like, okay. Like, so she looks at my daughter and she says, what'd you do at school today?
And my daughter looks at her and says, I didn't listen.
And so clearly somebody has been shaming my daughter into telling her mother when she gets there all day that she did not listen. Well, she's just over two years old, dude.
[01:32:25] Speaker A: Two year old.
[01:32:26] Speaker D: A little young.
[01:32:26] Speaker B: Two year old.
[01:32:27] Speaker A: Normally listen.
[01:32:28] Speaker B: Yeah, exactly. So my. Luckily, luckily my wife in between just being absolutely fuming mad and wanting to punch this teacher in the face, looked at the teacher and she told her, she said, well, I mean, you know, it's 18 to 24 months in here. They don't really listen. Like they haven't learned how to do that yet. You just. And so she came back at her a little bit. The teacher rolled her eyes at my wife and walked away. Didn't talk to her the rest of the time she was there. These kids are 18 to 24 months old. They literally don't know how to listen yet. They're completely spaced out. They're just learning the world. They have no idea what's going on. Like, are you serious? And, and I'll say this, it's one thing for me to get frustrated and I understand that. I do sometimes. And that's. And, but I think it's, it's more of like a human nature thing where like you just get frustrated sometimes. And I, but I don't yell, or at least I try not to yell. I might raise my voice a little bit. I don't think I yell per se. And I don't shame my daughter into going to tell her her mother. I didn't listen today.
[01:33:33] Speaker A: I mean, 18 to 24 months. Like those kids don't know anything. They don't really hardly talk hardly. I mean, they're just starting.
[01:33:41] Speaker B: Most, yeah, most. Our daughter, we're fortunate enough that my daughter, or unfortunate, I guess, depending on the day. But our daughter talks a ton. But most of the kids in her class don't say anything. Yeah, like, they say very little, make.
[01:33:52] Speaker A: A lot of like gibberish noises and stuff, but they don't like say like sentences.
[01:33:57] Speaker B: Yeah, but I was, I was just fight. I was like beside myself. I was like, oh man, this teacher better not, she better hope that I don't hear her saying something else rude when I'm in there. Because, you know, and you know, you've experienced my temper growing up. And I don't, I, I pride myself on being a pretty mellow fellow as I've gotten older. I don't really get.
[01:34:18] Speaker A: Does anybody, does anybody watching this show believe that Red Hot Ronnie Jim's is mellow?
[01:34:21] Speaker B: I really don't get that gassed up anymore, but I am gassed up right now. And I'll tell you this, if, if this teacher keeps up with her, I'm gonna be so pissed and I'm gonna go in there and, and they're gonna hear a mouthful from me and they're gonna be like, ah, we shouldn't have pissed this guy off.
[01:34:38] Speaker A: I just don't know what the expectation is of a, of a two year.
[01:34:41] Speaker B: Old, of an 18. Yeah, you're being generous. That's the top part of the class. Most of them are around the 18 month mark.
[01:34:48] Speaker A: I mean, it's not like you, like, you know, when you get to like kindergarten, those are kids that are kind of like old enough to follow. Like, go get in line for lunch, okay, Clean up your desk. Like, put your toys away. Who tells a 2 year old to do something and they're like, yep, I'll do it right on it.
[01:35:03] Speaker B: Yeah, like, like these kids, one that just doesn't happen. Like, like she, like that's what I'm saying. Like when she's condescending, she talks to them like they're like five and six year olds. Like they're supposed to comprehend everything that she's saying. Do it right away. Like one, their attention span is like 12 seconds, right? And two, like they, they're literally just discovering the world. Like they have no idea. Like part of, part of the discovery process is figuring out what they can and can't do, right?
[01:35:29] Speaker D: Like, is this an older lady or younger?
[01:35:32] Speaker B: She's like, like 45, maybe she gave.
[01:35:36] Speaker A: Birth to Jimmy Neutron.
He's kidding out of the womb knowing everything.
[01:35:40] Speaker B: Yeah, that was kind of my, my wife's point too. She was like, is this lady's baby a genius? Like that she just instantly knew right from wrong and what she could and couldn't do on a daily basis.
[01:35:51] Speaker A: Like, I mean, my son's almost 18 months old. If I had a nickel for every time he didn't listen to me, I'd have a lot of Nick, because he doesn't listen.
[01:35:57] Speaker B: They Don't.
[01:35:58] Speaker A: Yeah, he picks up a dog toy on the floor and I'm like, don't put that in your mouth.
[01:36:02] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:36:02] Speaker A: And what they do is they put it immediately in their mouth.
[01:36:05] Speaker B: Right. And back to my point about like, you know, I get frustrated sometimes. I'm a, I'm a parent and I just get overwhelmed. And I'm not saying that teachers can't get overwhelmed, but that's your profession, right. Like you're, you know that you signed up to teach kids that are 18 to 24 months old at a daycare.
[01:36:21] Speaker A: Like you wouldn't sign up to be a guidance counselor.
[01:36:24] Speaker B: Right.
[01:36:25] Speaker A: Like problems out of my office.
[01:36:27] Speaker B: Yeah, I'd be like, I can't handle this. Just get your shit together. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Like, it just, it sounds like this.
[01:36:34] Speaker D: Lady doesn't, she doesn't have like systems in place to like keep kids engaged or you know, or like.
[01:36:39] Speaker B: Right.
[01:36:39] Speaker D: You have to have some order and something like that and you have to have tricks and tips or whatever.
[01:36:43] Speaker A: Like, like what do you do with a 2 year old or an 18 month old kid that's like not doing what they're supposed to like put a toy in their hand and like let them independently play for a minute?
[01:36:51] Speaker B: Well, and you just, you, you need to lower your expectations. Like, you're like, you need to understand the situation you're in. Again, these aren't five and six year olds that are going to take what you say and instantly do it. They're. My daughter has no idea what you're saying half the time. Like.
[01:37:07] Speaker A: Well, because she's 2.
[01:37:08] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:37:08] Speaker D: So even understanding what this lady is saying to them, like she's, they're just like.
[01:37:13] Speaker B: And again, to your point about the. Don't put that in your mouth. I just recently, like, this is something I learned recently. She should probably know this because she teaches 18, 24 month old kids, but when you tell a toddler, hey, don't do something, the only thing their brain hears is the last part of the sentence where you're saying what they shouldn't do. And so they instantly do it.
[01:37:36] Speaker A: Well, because they don't have a concept of right or wrong or yes or no or do or don't. Like, they don't have that. They just haven't learned it yet.
They're two years old, they don't know anything.
[01:37:48] Speaker B: I've said a lot of swear words right now and I've actually been, this is calm. You should have seen me earlier. I was so mad about this, guys. And, and if I, if I could I would keep talking about this.
[01:37:58] Speaker A: I just don't know what a lady like that is doing.
[01:38:00] Speaker B: Right.
[01:38:00] Speaker A: Like, why are you working with kids if you get that frustrated? Like what do you go do anything else?
[01:38:06] Speaker B: Yeah. So I'm, I'm at like my boiling point though. I'm just like, I'm done with this. Like, we're going to give you some leeway. Maybe you're having a bad day that day. It's now been on four separate days that we've noticed her. Luckily the other times weren't directly to my daughter. Oh, I didn't even mention. In the middle of this thing she's like trying to walk over to my wife and she like looked at the, the lady and like cowered away from her and ran to my wife. So clearly she's like being intimidating and yelling and doing other things in the class that she probably shouldn't be doing to these young kids.
[01:38:35] Speaker A: Just like, who yells at a 2 year old?
[01:38:37] Speaker B: Idiots.
[01:38:38] Speaker A: Like they, they don't have a concept of even you being mad.
[01:38:42] Speaker B: Like, yeah, yeah, idiots, yeah. So I just, next time I like, I'm done with all that, all the niceties. If I hear being shitty to any of the kids again, not just my daughter going straight to the office and saying she needs removed from this class.
[01:38:58] Speaker A: That sounds like a headmaster problem. Like who's in charge of this woman?
[01:39:01] Speaker B: Yeah. So I don't know. I'm guessed. I, I ran it and raved for a while now. Bone, what are you gassed up about?
[01:39:07] Speaker D: Oh, I didn't know what I was going to say. But then I just saw a preview for the College Football Playoff coming up this weekend. So I'm really pumped for that. Ohio State plays Tennessee and I, I think we've played them one time. Ever.
[01:39:19] Speaker B: Yep.
[01:39:19] Speaker D: Like in 99 or 96 or something like that. And I don't even know the outcome of that game. Game.
[01:39:24] Speaker B: I think we lost.
[01:39:25] Speaker A: We did.
[01:39:25] Speaker B: I think we're owing one against Tennessee.
[01:39:28] Speaker D: Yeah. After our embarrassing ending to our season, I'm a little rejuvenated. Hopefully Ryan Day can do something in this playoff system because otherwise I think he's going to be gone.
[01:39:38] Speaker A: I was going to say he better.
[01:39:39] Speaker D: If he doesn't make it to the national championship, I think he's probably gone.
[01:39:42] Speaker B: I think even if he makes it and they lose, I don't, I think he's gone.
[01:39:44] Speaker D: You think it's going to take a win?
[01:39:45] Speaker B: I think it's going to take a national championship to keep him.
[01:39:47] Speaker D: Yeah, I, I could, I can't argue that point.
[01:39:49] Speaker A: What roster is better than Ohio State's in this? 12 teams.
[01:39:53] Speaker B: That's my point for why it takes a national championship to keep him is because. And it's not just that. Like, you look at Ohio State over the past like six years or like since Ryan Day took taken over. Look at the receivers they've had. Like, we're talking. Yeah, we're talking Garrett Wilson. We're talking Chris Alave, we're talking Marvin Harrison Jr. We're talking what's his name this year? Chris Smith or whatever. Jeremiah Smith. Yeah, it's.
[01:40:15] Speaker A: It's just.
[01:40:19] Speaker B: Jackson, Smith and Jigba. Like, it's so many of them. Like. And we haven't won a national championship under Ryan Day.
[01:40:26] Speaker A: Good quarterbacks to be.
[01:40:27] Speaker B: C.J. stroud.
[01:40:28] Speaker D: Look at our running backs this year too. Yeah, they're freaking stacked.
[01:40:30] Speaker B: And we haven't won a national championship under Ryan Day. Like, that's pretty wild. And we've lost to Michigan four years in a row.
[01:40:35] Speaker A: And your defense has a lot of good players on it. I mean, Jack Sawyer, Caleb down. Like, these aren't like nobodies.
[01:40:40] Speaker B: Yeah. Like, so I think it takes national championship if they don't win it. I think Ryan Day's gone. Yeah.
[01:40:45] Speaker D: Saturday night I think I saw it was at 8:00. So I'm excited.
[01:40:48] Speaker B: Finally got a night game too. Didn't stick as a noon.
[01:40:50] Speaker D: It's going be a fun game to watch.
[01:40:51] Speaker A: Did you see the Tennessee fans have already mapped out the path for them to march the field goals into the old river.
[01:40:59] Speaker B: I like how when you pull up that map, it's literally just an L. It's like, take a left, go here, turn left.
[01:41:04] Speaker D: They figured it out. Maybe it was them using their drones to.
[01:41:08] Speaker A: Maybe at the very least, we have to.
[01:41:11] Speaker B: We really don't know where this is.
Yeah, maybe.
[01:41:14] Speaker A: Maybe at the very least we'll get a good fist fight out of this. If they try and pull our goalposts.
[01:41:18] Speaker B: Or plant their flag. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We've taken some steps to make sure that doesn't happen again. Some soft Ohio legislator proposed the issue where if they're making it a felony to plant your flag at another stadium. Yeah. Dumbest thing I ever heard. Like, you got your song.
[01:41:39] Speaker A: The guy with Russian mothership. Or the average probably.
[01:41:42] Speaker B: No, whoever that guy is, like, you're soft. Nobody ever vote for that guy again because he's soft.
[01:41:46] Speaker D: Yeah. Get him out of here.
[01:41:47] Speaker A: Yeah. That's a guy that needs primaried.
[01:41:48] Speaker B: Hashtag flaccid.
[01:41:50] Speaker A: Who Is that we need to find out who that is.
[01:41:52] Speaker B: Yeah, we'll talk about it. We'll talk about it next year.
[01:41:53] Speaker A: Make a thing of it.
[01:41:54] Speaker B: Yeah, he's done.
[01:41:55] Speaker A: That's.
[01:41:56] Speaker B: We're getting him canceled.
[01:41:57] Speaker A: That's stupid. Go punch yourself, Kenny.
[01:41:59] Speaker B: What are you getting gassed up about that guy?
[01:42:05] Speaker A: Speaking of soft, it's an interesting segue. I saw a post on social media this week and it was about like a. Some kids choir or something or orchestra that was performing.
And in the background of this performance is the statue of David.
Okay, everybody knows a statue of David, right? Statue Michelangelo.
And I'm start reading through this post and it's like essentially making fun of David's penis. Like we have this nice concert but like all we can focus on is the fact that like David has this tiny penis.
And it got me to thinking, how tiny is David's penis?
[01:42:51] Speaker B: Not very.
[01:42:52] Speaker A: In all actuality. So like let's forget the fact that David is 16ft tall first off, and let's just accept what we know. The raw facts are the.
[01:43:01] Speaker B: David's raw.
[01:43:02] Speaker A: David's penis is 5.43 inches of solid concrete baloney pony.
[01:43:11] Speaker B: Like never heard it described that way.
[01:43:13] Speaker A: But I accept that the average erect man hammer is 5.2 inches.
[01:43:18] Speaker B: How many different phrases can you use?
[01:43:19] Speaker A: So, so just the flaccid penis of David is already by statistically above average. And I'm just reading through the comments on this woman. Someone's posting like every person. Oh haha. David's penis is so small. Why is it so small? It's the smallest penis ever. And I'm like, this is five and a half inches of concrete pork sward. Like when have, when have you even seen one that's this big and this one's flaccid. So if it's five and a half flaccid, we can imagine. Just doing some real rough estimates.
[01:43:55] Speaker B: He's probably got at least 8 inches on them.
[01:43:57] Speaker A: Between 5 and 8, maybe 9 inches. I mean when this thing gets rock hard. Rock hard concrete.
[01:44:04] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:44:05] Speaker A: I mean think about the fact that 2% of men have.
Have a har canary that exceeds 7 inches.
That's if you know a thousand men. Like do you even know a thousand man men? Like men in your lifetime. Do you know a thousand people?
[01:44:24] Speaker B: Maybe. I don't know.
[01:44:25] Speaker A: Like let's, let's say you know, 900. It feels like a lot.
[01:44:27] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:44:28] Speaker A: Like there's a good chance none of them have a penis that's any bigger than five and a half inches.
[01:44:33] Speaker B: Fair.
[01:44:33] Speaker A: Because you would exclude the 20 out of 1,000 men that have a penis that exceeds seven inches in length. And if you want to talk about those that are really large, you're talking about 0.6% of the population that exceed 9 inches. So that's six out of a thousand men that have a really giant tally whacker.
[01:44:55] Speaker B: Fair.
[01:44:56] Speaker A: Yeah.
And, and even if you did kind of like scale this thing back, right. And you said like, okay, let's make him a size of a normal man soft, it's still 2 inches likely. He's a grower, not a shower. I mean, it's clearly a flacid penis.
[01:45:12] Speaker B: Is there something like 90 some percent of people are growers not sure. Showers, like, it's high.
[01:45:16] Speaker A: There's, there's a lot of different statistics out there in penis studies, but I.
[01:45:21] Speaker B: Know you've looked into all of them.
[01:45:22] Speaker A: But, but there's a good chance just given it's a flaccid penis, that, that it's going to get bigger upon becoming erect.
[01:45:29] Speaker B: Yeah. Fair blood flow.
[01:45:31] Speaker A: Let's not, let's forget all of the even historical reasons for like, you know, big penises on statues. Break off big penises historically, a long time ago in like Greek mythology, you know, meant you weren't intelligent. Like they, they respected a small penis because it meant you could control your sexual urges. All those things. Forget about all that and just think about like, it's also the statue of David facing down a mammoth Goliath who probably is hung with a giant tube steak.
[01:45:58] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:45:59] Speaker A: So like, it's natural for like flight or fight or flight. Like you're, you may experience some shrinkage.
[01:46:04] Speaker B: Like your, your penis flight.
[01:46:08] Speaker A: I don't know what that means. Also the fact that he's just butt naked standing in the middle of a stone cathedral. Cathedral in front of everyone. Yeah, naturally, like you would probably. You, you're not gonna have your best showing. Right. So I just was like, I was.
[01:46:20] Speaker B: Just like, have you ever seen David rock hard?
[01:46:22] Speaker A: That's what I'm saying. Like, first off, he's probably bigger than most men you've ever been with. And if you're, if he's not, you're lying.
And so I just was like, who are, who are these size queens when 90% of the comments are like, look at this small wiener. And I'm like, dude, come on. Like, that dude is bigger than your husband. So like just, just the raw concrete dick is bigger than your man.
[01:46:45] Speaker B: So let me, I just, let me recap and get this straight.
What's getting you gassed up is David's penis.
Okay. Just wanted to make sure we're all on the same page here.
[01:46:56] Speaker A: It just wasn't. It was just bothering me because I'm.
[01:46:59] Speaker B: Just like, David's penis.
[01:47:00] Speaker A: His penis is very. At least. Very average at the. The very least. And I just don't know who all these women are. They're like, look at this small wiener.
[01:47:10] Speaker B: That was the most rock solid defense of David I have ever heard.
Yeah.
[01:47:17] Speaker A: Literally less than 10% of men have a penis that exceeds 6 inches. 6 inches. You're in a top. You're in the top 10% if you have a 6.1 inch penis.
[01:47:27] Speaker B: Feels bad.
That's a nice smile you got there.
All right, so once again, Kenny and Bone, you know, obviously, hundredth episode. We're pretty excited. It's a big deal. We've met a lot of really cool people along the way, and I just wanted to bring one more of those guests back to see us because this is a relationship that we kind of fostered through our Browns Batman packers interviews, and it continues to grow. We love seeing Cliff. So without further ado, Cliff with mile high brows.
[01:48:06] Speaker E: Backer.
[01:48:09] Speaker C: Thank you very much. I hear that some presidents don't get cheers and stuff, but wow.
[01:48:15] Speaker B: We just corrected that in this episode.
[01:48:17] Speaker A: We just made amends to the North Jersey folks.
[01:48:19] Speaker B: Yeah, they were on this week as well. We. We did a take 2. 2. I think they appreciated it so.
[01:48:27] Speaker C: Well, I'm happy for them at this point. Thank you for the cheer. I appreciate it, guys. It's great to be here.
[01:48:32] Speaker B: You should let them know that you now have two cheers.
[01:48:37] Speaker C: What am I going to get to trifecta?
[01:48:40] Speaker B: I don't know. Probably. Probably the next time the Browns play Denver. So are they on the schedule for a third year in a row?
[01:48:46] Speaker D: They could.
[01:48:47] Speaker C: They. If. If we'll probably end up in Vegas. I mean, there's no way we're going to pass Cincinnati in the standings, but if we could, we would come here. But we will probably go. Go to Vegas because we're going to finish last and Vegas is going to finish last.
[01:49:03] Speaker B: Yeah, we're. There's no catching anyone at this point.
[01:49:06] Speaker A: We love finishing last.
[01:49:07] Speaker B: I mean, let's be honest. Even if we won out, it would still take a pretty big miracle for us to catch Cincinnati at this point. So.
But yeah, I mean, before we get into the Browns and in that cliff, how are things going out west? How are things going in. In and with the club and what do you guys have going on this year we've.
[01:49:29] Speaker C: We've done our very best to keep the things positive and continue to drive our raffle sales and stuff. And we've done a couple of different things to try to drive. Drive those raffles. One day we did back in mid November. Can't even remember which game it was at this point, but we did a WMMS tribute.
We were very fortunate at Stoney's to have a dj, and so the whole day we played nothing but classic rock. WMMS was kind enough to send us a couple of banners that we were able to. To raffle off often.
[01:50:05] Speaker B: Stuff.
[01:50:05] Speaker C: So that was. That was a super day. And then we. For the pregame when the Browns played here, which we had to have on a Sunday because we played on a Monday after Thanksgiving Day weekend, the last possible day that you could play after Thanksgiving Day weekend, we had a great time. And it was rather ironic that the Thursday night before was the game against Pittsburgh. And at the end of the third quarter, in walks Reuben drones.
[01:50:37] Speaker B: Nice.
[01:50:39] Speaker C: So Reuben lives here in Denver. He's, you know, associated with the. The Broncos alumni and stuff, but he walked in and was just amazed to find on that Thursday night, 75. Five Browns fans at Stoney's. And he came back for our pre game party where we played a solid game of Family Feud. And that's how we were. You know, people were able to purchase their raffle tickets that got them the opportunity to come up on stage and answer questions that we had developed and stuff, or survey questions. We surveyed 100 mile high Brownsbackers and got their best answers to this question.
[01:51:20] Speaker B: Yeah, it's. So was there any zingers in there that just, you know, the ones that stuck out where they gave absolute ridiculous answers?
[01:51:30] Speaker C: Not really. I think that you. I mean, the best question that we probably asked for the night, there were. There were several. There were five questions that we did for the night, and the big one, for the big prize, which was a donated prize from Red Rock Country Club, our logo, monogrammed or embroidered onto a camo golf bag, came to us from Ronnie D. The golf pro at Red Rocks.
That survey question was dome or no dome, and the number one answer was no dome, and Mark nailed it. And he walked away with a great embroidered golf bag and stuff.
[01:52:11] Speaker B: Y'all are weird out there, man.
We walk want the dome, but that's just us. That's a personal preference.
[01:52:18] Speaker C: But personally, I want the. I personally, I want the dome too. I want to be able to come back, you know, I want to be able to come back and stay warm and, you know, enjoy a game in inside a dome and then scurry over to a hotel room somewhere close.
[01:52:33] Speaker B: Yeah, listen, I gotta. I got a quick family feud story that I just want to get out there, get off my chest.
I have an embarrassing family feud answer that I gave one time. Our. My work does Family feud every. They haven't done in a couple years, but it was for like three or four years in a row. They did it. I work for.
[01:52:54] Speaker A: They. They quit after you give your embarrassing.
[01:52:56] Speaker B: No, no, no. That actually made them want to keep doing it more. So here was the question. Here was the question. I'll let it hang there for a second. You let you guys answer. But the question was, if the world were to end tomorrow, what would you blow all of your money on tonight?
Kenny?
[01:53:12] Speaker A: Strippers.
[01:53:12] Speaker B: Okay, that was number one. Cliff, you got an answer here?
[01:53:16] Speaker C: Gummy bears.
[01:53:18] Speaker B: That was not up there. That was not up there.
Bone, do you have an answer for us?
This is surveyed people. So it doesn't have to be what you would blow your mind.
[01:53:28] Speaker D: Oh, yeah. What people would blow their money on, like wagyu steak.
[01:53:33] Speaker B: That was not up there either. So you guys gave. I wish you guys were there with me. My answer. I. I buzzed in and this was the quick one. Like, you know, we were both up there against each other and I. I said a horse.
And so my thinking. And obviously you don't have time, you mean. No, no. But yeah.
No, my thinking was that this was like an apocalypse type situation. Like, not like the world actually ended, but like I would need to get around walking dead. Yeah. Through my head in a matter of like half a second. And I said a horse. And everybody laughed at me. So it was pretty embarrassing. I gave. I redeemed myself. Although everybody laughed at me again, I thought this was a good answer. Later in the game, they said, what piece of clothing can you wear no matter what size you are? And I said a scarf, but everybody thought that was silly and it wasn't an answer on the board. So I was pretty pissed off about that. But that. What that is. That's a great socks was one of them. Like, it was. There was a. I don't remember. All like a hat, like some of the other. Yeah, yeah. But. But yeah, I said a horse for the world ending. Let me.
[01:54:39] Speaker C: Let me show you real quick. I don't know if you guys can see it back there. There's a. A big old golf tournament size.
[01:54:46] Speaker B: Check that on Wednesday made out to Burning over Sportscast.
[01:54:51] Speaker C: It Says Freedom Service Dogs of America on it, who train service dogs, and they are concentrating on getting those service dogs. Dogs to vets at this point. And on Wednesday, we're going to hand that check to them for 1750. And this past Friday, we donated 1750 to senior support services.
[01:55:12] Speaker B: Awesome. So regardless of the Browns having a terrible season, you guys continue to do the Lord's work out there in Denver.
[01:55:20] Speaker C: I'm not sure if it's the Lord's work, but it's, you know, it's the right thing.
[01:55:24] Speaker B: It's Cliff's work. Yeah. I thought you were gonna. I thought that was the surprise hundredth episode. We made a check out to Burninger Sportscast for being so awesome. I thought that's where we were going with this.
[01:55:34] Speaker A: He was flying us out to see him.
[01:55:35] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you. What you guys are doing is good, too. That's.
Yeah.
[01:55:41] Speaker A: Noble causes.
[01:55:42] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. I guess that's okay.
[01:55:43] Speaker C: We're doing our best. We're doing our best.
[01:55:46] Speaker B: Yeah. And we really appreciate you guys and. And obviously Mile High. Mile High Brownsbackers, but the rest of the Brownsbackers as well, doing everything that you guys do. We just talked about this earlier, earlier in the episode.
You know, the numbers add up between all the different groups that are out there getting donations, raising money for all these different charities. Whether it's 1750 here, 1750 there, 2000-600015-00300, it doesn't matter. It all adds 10 bucks.
[01:56:15] Speaker C: It all matter. You know, it's. Yeah, it's all fantastic. And I can. I'm pretty darn sure based on. On what I saw this past weekend, that we're the only football team of the NFL that's. That's doing anything like that around. Yeah, I'm sure there's a couple that are doing it, but we as a group, there's nobody else out there doing it.
[01:56:39] Speaker B: Yeah. Not at that level. No. No. There's a couple other groups out there, and I'll give them a quick shot. Like, the Bills Mafia is the one that comes to. To mind.
[01:56:46] Speaker A: They.
[01:56:46] Speaker B: There are Bills bars all over the place, but nowhere near. Nowhere near the scale of the Brownsbackers.
[01:56:52] Speaker C: Absolutely not. And they just smash tables, so that's.
[01:56:56] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. It's pretty fun to watch, though. Have you ever seen that?
[01:56:59] Speaker A: They donate a lot of firewood.
[01:57:00] Speaker B: I think the. I think that Brownsbackers and the muni lot should pick up table smashing. I'm. I'm a fan.
[01:57:05] Speaker A: Let's smash something different. Let's smash lamps or Something. Leg lamps.
[01:57:08] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm in. Those are.
[01:57:10] Speaker C: No, that is.
[01:57:11] Speaker A: That's.
[01:57:11] Speaker B: That's pumpkins.
[01:57:13] Speaker C: Guardian on the bridge.
[01:57:14] Speaker A: You know, pumpkins could be good. Yeah, that's true.
[01:57:17] Speaker B: Yeah. Well, real quick, Cliff, you know, unfortunately, we're running out of time, but I do want to ask you just what's your take? This is.
Consolidate this into one big, long answer for me take on the Browns this year. What you think is going to happen in the off season as far as changes, front office, players, coaches, otherwise. And if you think we win any games the rest of the season.
[01:57:43] Speaker C: It was pretty obvious from. From day one for that against the Cowboys that it was just going to be the shit show that, that we've seen all this year and there's no icing on the cake. Yeah, that Thursday night against Pittsburgh, that was a fun game to be a part of and watch and stuff.
I still don't know how we beat Baltimore.
And thank God we got Jim Jacksonville early.
So it was obvious that it was not right. Something was not right. And unfortunately, I don't have a time machine to go back and never make that trade.
Acquisition, whatever you want to call it, make it happen.
The son of a gun had already had more baggage than Rose on the Titanic. And it was. It was just absolutely ridiculous. Ridiculous that we. We pursued that when we had our quarterback. And it just. It hurts every time that I see that Baker has had an outstanding game down in Tampa and stuff, and it just hurts because he should be a Cleveland Brown right now. That's all there is to it. And we could have had him at.
[01:58:55] Speaker B: The third of the.
[01:58:56] Speaker C: @ a third of the cost.
What we're going to do next year, I have no idea what we're. How we're going to handle it, but there is an example here in. In Denver that you can jettison and can deal with a cap hit and go get the quarterback that you want to get and start. Start fresh. And guess what? The Broncos are going to the playoffs this year.
And, you know, they ate. Granted, it wasn't with the cap hit that we're going to face, but it was a pretty big hit. And then somehow that guy goes to another. Other team, our biggest rival, and is having a pretty successful season himself.
But I don't see. You can see it in his eyes. He is not a leader. He is not.
[01:59:46] Speaker A: He.
[01:59:47] Speaker C: He has.
[01:59:48] Speaker B: He's not.
[01:59:49] Speaker C: He cares only about himself. And that's. In a nutshell, that's it.
[01:59:55] Speaker B: Well, I think it's no more evident than now when, since he's been in injured, he's not in the building.
He doesn't congratulate his team on social media or anything after they win. He doesn't give pep talks whether. And I'd be fine even with just like, like tweets like, oh, it's a tough one today guys, but keep your heads up. Like whatever. I'm fine with even just that he doesn't even give that. And then this past week after they got just absolutely humped by the Steelers, he, he puts on his social media pictures of him and his, his girlfriend or fiance or whatever she is down there and where were they? Barbados or somewhere. Like on a beach. Yeah.
[02:00:34] Speaker C: So yeah, somewhere on a beach. Look what I'm doing while I'm rehabbing and trying to become a, you know, trying to recover from what is mostly a career ending injury, you know, and somehow some way we got to figure out to not take that cap hit like it is. But yeah, you know, but I still have fun on Sunday. Funday.
[02:00:58] Speaker B: Hell yes. So last part of that question. How many games are going to win the rest of the season?
[02:01:03] Speaker C: I don't. Let's see.
[02:01:05] Speaker B: We've got.
[02:01:05] Speaker C: We might have a shot at Miami as long as they move it, which we know will happen. They'll move it to a Sunday afternoon. I think we might have a shot against Miami but against Cincinnati and Baltimore. Baltimore at the end now we're no shot.
[02:01:24] Speaker B: Yeah, we'll get into this in the show. But, but we're. I've been saying all show long my prediction is 3, 3 and 14. So yeah, real quick too.
[02:01:33] Speaker A: I just wanted to just I. Cliff, you made a really good point there because we've been talking a lot just about around like gosh, like this isn't rocket science, man. Like I know a lot of people try to make it out to be like this is some different level of thinking to try and, to try and create a successful culture and winning team. And I've pointed a lot to Washington this year, right. And just Dan Quinn and they get the rookie quarterback that fits their system. They brought in a bunch of new faces. But your point about Denver is another really strong one. Another perfect case for it doesn't matter what is stacked against you. Like get the, get the right coach and find a quarter. It doesn't have to be the best quarterback in the draft. Like as long as it's a guy that fits what you're willing to do what you want to do on offense. You can build a team and an offense around him and like start Plugging in the rest of the pieces as you go. And, and you can go from being a bad team to a good team or a playoff team in one year. It's not that this is unheard of. And I think people just like even talk about the draft this year. It's like we have this conversation about, oh, well, there's not enough good quarterbacks in this draft. Bo Nix was like the sixth quarterback taking off the board, like, yes. You know, and, and he's done. Okay.
[02:02:41] Speaker B: It's just like every year people forget, like, let's, I don't know, let's point to the goat, Tom Brady. Like he wasn't the best quarterback in the draft, but guess what? They found him and they put him in a system that worked well with his skill set.
[02:02:53] Speaker A: Right, exactly.
[02:02:54] Speaker B: That's what.
[02:02:54] Speaker C: You know, so many, so many times we have over the last hundred years, we've, we've taken quarterbacks, gotten quarterbacks acquired quarterbacks that, and tried to put them into the coach's system when it wasn't his system. That's not how he's got to play. You've got to work around the skill set of your players. And the perfect example was when Butchie Davis and Jeff Garcia. Jeff Garcia is not a drop back quarterback. He's, you know, I mean, it just, it doesn't make sense, you know?
[02:03:28] Speaker A: Give me Tim Couch nightmares. Cliff, don't. Come on. Come on.
[02:03:31] Speaker B: I saw somebody online say that, somebody that clearly didn't know football, by the way, went on this big long rant against Deshaun Watson and said, he's just as bad as Tim Couch. And I was like, whoa, whoa, Tim Couch was not a bad quarterback to the freaking playoffs. Exactly.
[02:03:50] Speaker C: Freaking remembers that.
[02:03:52] Speaker B: The number one, the first mistake in a long line of quarterback mistakes was jettisoning Tim Couch for Kelly Holcomb.
[02:04:03] Speaker A: College card.
[02:04:03] Speaker B: Here. You can't, you probably can't even see this, but that's a Tim Couch, Kentucky card right there.
[02:04:07] Speaker C: So there you go. Tim Couch, Kentucky.
[02:04:10] Speaker B: Yeah. That guy.
[02:04:11] Speaker C: We're playing this Sunday.
[02:04:13] Speaker A: That is what we're playing.
[02:04:14] Speaker B: Yeah, we are playing in Kentucky.
[02:04:15] Speaker A: Bluegrass thing.
[02:04:16] Speaker D: Yeah, Northern Kentucky.
[02:04:18] Speaker B: Kentucky. Jeez. I actually opened up. You'll appreciate this, Cliff. I opened up our interview earlier with the, the Cindy Lucky Dogs and said, you know, nobody in that town is an Ohio citizen except for Brown Brownsbackers. Right.
[02:04:35] Speaker A: So we don't claim any of the rest of them.
[02:04:37] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, go back to Kentucky. But listen, Cliff, we do have to wrap this up. I wish we could stay on and talk to you all day. You know, we could, but for the show. For show purposes, we can't. So we got to wrap it up. We appreciate you being on for our hundredth episode again.
[02:04:54] Speaker C: I appreciate you guys asking me to be a part of this.
[02:04:57] Speaker B: I'm. I'm.
[02:04:58] Speaker C: I'm quite honored and stuff. And I look forward to working with you guys and being a part of what you're trying to accomplish and what we're all. I think a lot of us want to try and accomplish. And I appreciate you reaching back out and being a part of this. And Congratulations on your 100th episode.
[02:05:16] Speaker B: You think we got any more in us?
[02:05:18] Speaker C: I can't wait to be a part of 200.
[02:05:21] Speaker B: There we go. There we go.
[02:05:22] Speaker A: Hell yeah.
[02:05:23] Speaker B: Cliff, we appreciate it. We'll talk to you soon.
[02:05:25] Speaker A: Thanks so much.
[02:05:25] Speaker C: All right, guys, take care. And go Browns.
[02:05:28] Speaker B: Go Browns.
Well, it's time for the burger. We're going to throw down. Hold on, hold on.
All right, that's enough.
Fix the lights.
[02:06:18] Speaker A: Smart.
[02:06:19] Speaker B: If you didn't join in at home, you're an idiot. Yeah, I. I take that back instantly. But seriously, it's. Dance breaks are needed.
When we're talking about the Browns, we're.
[02:06:28] Speaker A: Talking about meat rockets.
[02:06:30] Speaker B: Well, yeah, yeah, yeah. After that penis talk, we definitely got to talk about dancing dankies. Yeah.
[02:06:36] Speaker D: Nice. I appreciate that.
[02:06:37] Speaker B: Yeah.
Guys, let's get into the King of the North.
You ready?
[02:06:55] Speaker A: Okay.
[02:06:56] Speaker B: Okay. In case anyone doesn't know by now, this is our year long AFC north pick'em competition at the end of the season, whoever comes in last place gets punished. In the preseason last year, Kenny had a gross of eggs thrown at him by fans in the muni lot before a game. In the preseason this year, Kenny had his entire head of hair and beard shaved clean off.
[02:07:13] Speaker A: What are you gonna do?
[02:07:14] Speaker B: Punishment this season will be as follows. You have to go to a public pool, get in the pool, and then pee and not pee in said pool. You don't pee. You announce that you peed and said pool. You don't actually pee, but you just tell everybody you did.
[02:07:27] Speaker A: Yeah.
[02:07:27] Speaker B: And in case there's any legalities involved with this where we can't do this, you have to eat as many hot dogs as you can until you vomit.
[02:07:34] Speaker D: Oh, yeah.
[02:07:34] Speaker B: Kenny, you excited?
[02:07:38] Speaker A: No.
And so I don't know how it's come to this. I feel like corn Wallace at the end of the Patriot. Like, how did it come to this?
Bunch of farmers and pitchforks.
[02:07:50] Speaker D: Yankee doodle baby.
[02:07:51] Speaker A: Yankee freaking hillbillies.
[02:07:53] Speaker B: There's Still a chance. There's still a chance. You're not that far behind me. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed. First things first, I want to remind everybody that Bone is the reigning defending and probably will continue to be the reigning defending king of the North.
[02:08:10] Speaker A: It's almost getting to where it's impossible for him not to be.
[02:08:13] Speaker B: I think it is.
[02:08:15] Speaker A: How many is. No, there's only two games.
[02:08:17] Speaker B: No, it's not. Not yet. It's close, though. It's very close. Close. It's very close.
Kenny, as always, you're a clown.
[02:08:23] Speaker A: Thank you.
[02:08:24] Speaker B: And let's remind everyone of the current standings after week 15.
Bone on top at 29 and 19.
I am at 25 and 23. I finally made it above 500 again. This is like the third time I've been up there. Then I lose like six games in a row after that, so I'm pretty scared. And then Kenny. Kenny's sitting at 23 and 25. Has not made. Made it back to 500 yet. How's that feel?
[02:08:48] Speaker A: I was at 500 once. Not anymore, but then I went back down.
[02:08:51] Speaker B: Yeah, you just went five and oh. This past week. If you count the Monday night game that we had to add in and you still aren't at 500.
[02:08:58] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm getting closer.
[02:08:59] Speaker B: You are getting closer. Fair. Let's get into this week's games. Only two games this week as we get into the division matchups because everybody plays each other.
And so game number one, the Steelers head to Baltimore to battle the Ravens for the division. This legitimately could decide the division.
We'll start with Bone. Bone, who you got?
[02:09:21] Speaker D: I'm going Baltimore home game. I feel like they're playing good. It's going to be. Yeah, I don't know. It could go either way, but I'm going. Baltimore home advantage.
[02:09:32] Speaker B: Yep. I am going with the Ravens as well.
I like Baltimore simply because they're at home. This is a big game for everybody.
And just I feel like these division games, a lot of the times when they're evenly matched like this. Both really good teams. It comes down to that home field advantage. So the fact that it's in Baltimore is what swung me on this one. Kenny, who you got?
You doing it. You going opposite.
[02:10:00] Speaker A: I can't. The Ravens are six and a half way favorites are at home.
Gotta go Ravens on this one.
[02:10:07] Speaker B: You thought about it?
[02:10:08] Speaker A: I did think about it. I mean, it's. It's not impossible that Pittsburgh could pull that off, but Baltimore's going off of a huge win. Where LaMar threw for five touchdowns. No picks becoming like breaking like Peyton Manning, Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes record of doing so.
And the Steelers are coming off of beat down in Philadelphia. So I gotta go Ravens.
[02:10:38] Speaker B: All right. And then so we all got the Ravens in that one. And then obviously the Browns are going down to Cincinnati to try and all but eliminate the Bengals from getting that wild card spot.
I'll go ahead and start this. I got the Bengals. I don't think it's gonna be close. I think the Browns are finally at a point where especially. Especially if they start DTR. I think we might lose by 30. But yeah, I just. I just don't see it being close. Things seem like they're clicking for the Bengals. The Browns are as bad as ever this season.
And so I just. I got The Bengals winning 34 to 17 and 17 is generous.
Kenny, who you got?
[02:11:21] Speaker A: Yeah, I go Bengals here as well.
Everything you just said. Browns going in the wrong direction. Bengals going in the right direction.
Let's call it 3000, 114.
[02:11:33] Speaker B: Bone who you got?
[02:11:36] Speaker D: Bengals.
[02:11:36] Speaker B: Do it. Go Browns.
[02:11:37] Speaker D: No, I won't. I can't do that.
[02:11:39] Speaker B: Come on, come on, come on.
[02:11:41] Speaker A: Only a seven point dog.
[02:11:42] Speaker D: Yeah.
My score.
[02:11:46] Speaker A: I was.
[02:11:46] Speaker D: That's why I laugh because my score is very similar to Kenny's. But I was going to. I was going 31 to 13.
[02:11:51] Speaker B: Nice. That could be. That could make all a difference.
[02:11:54] Speaker A: Good.
[02:11:55] Speaker B: Just in the standings. Not for the Browns.
[02:11:57] Speaker A: Yes, for the Browns.
[02:12:00] Speaker B: All right. So. So nothing will change for king of the North. It's getting to that time, Kenny, where you might just have to like pick against everybody.
[02:12:07] Speaker A: Just because I already looked at the schedule. Next week's my week.
[02:12:10] Speaker B: You're going.
[02:12:11] Speaker A: Pulling ahead of you.
[02:12:11] Speaker B: You're going Cleveland.
[02:12:12] Speaker A: I'm pulling ahead of you next week.
[02:12:14] Speaker B: You going Cleveland? Yeah.
[02:12:16] Speaker A: We've only got eight games left to pick. This is two of them.
[02:12:19] Speaker B: Yeah. I could just pick the same as you every time and then I automatically beat you.
[02:12:22] Speaker A: If you do that, I will amend my pick to pick opposite of you.
[02:12:25] Speaker B: And then I'll amend my pick to pick with you.
[02:12:29] Speaker A: That's not. In the spirit of competition.
[02:12:30] Speaker D: You guys have to give. Give me anonymous picks.
[02:12:34] Speaker A: I like that. Pick through bone.
[02:12:37] Speaker B: Pick through bone. That sounds sexual.
[02:12:39] Speaker D: You guys can each text message me separately on air and then I'll read it aloud.
[02:12:43] Speaker A: I like it.
[02:12:44] Speaker B: If it gets down to it, we'll do that. I. I'm. I'm. I mean, I. Be fair. I'm. I can keep writing my picks. In before the hand beforehand anyway, so I don't really care. But anyways, that'll do it for King of the North.

[02:17:09] Speaker A: We just went through our top hot nine Christmas girls. This one did not make it on anyone's playlist. But out of all the Christmas classics, you might be wondering which of them is the most popular of all.
[02:17:22] Speaker B: What is it?
[02:17:22] Speaker A: Any guesses?
[02:17:23] Speaker D: Frosty the Snowman.
[02:17:26] Speaker B: No.
[02:17:27] Speaker A: No, it's not an answer.
[02:17:33] Speaker B: It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas stinker.
[02:17:38] Speaker A: The correct answer is, of course, silent Night, which has accumulated over 730, 33 recorded versions since 1978.
[02:17:47] Speaker B: Wow. Including Celine Dion.
[02:17:50] Speaker A: Including Celine Dion. My Heart will Go on for Seline Dion.
[02:17:55] Speaker B: Number two, Fun fact. Inside of fun fact. Did you like that?
[02:18:00] Speaker A: Hearkening back to our hot three of last week, Hark the Herald angel singing Glory to the Newborn King. I think we talked about this as an honorable mention, but did you know that Mary. Did you know the 2018 computer animated the Grinch is the highest grossing Christmas film of all time.
[02:18:26] Speaker B: Well, ding dang.
[02:18:27] Speaker A: Bringing in over $512 million worldwide.
[02:18:33] Speaker B: That's incredible.
[02:18:34] Speaker D: That was really good.
[02:18:35] Speaker A: Run her up to the. The Grinch.
[02:18:38] Speaker B: The Grinch Holiday Hooby Wy. Oh, I thought it was going to be the other Grinch.
[02:18:42] Speaker A: The second highest grossing Christmas film of all time.
[02:18:45] Speaker B: What is it?
[02:18:46] Speaker D: Christmas Story.
[02:18:49] Speaker B: No, that's probably pretty low, cuz it was old. Yeah, it actually became a cult classic too. I think it bombed. And anyway, go on, what is it?
[02:18:56] Speaker A: I was asking. Be a guess.
[02:18:57] Speaker B: Oh, do I have a guess? Polar Express.
[02:19:01] Speaker A: Home Alone, my friend. Home Alone Christmas classic from 1990.
[02:19:05] Speaker B: It was a surprise hit too. Like they were like. I remember when they were reading about when they were making this, they're like, ah, we don't know. And bam. Big hit.
[02:19:14] Speaker A: The bigger surprise was when Macaulay Culkin showed up at Never Neverland.
[02:19:17] Speaker B: Yeah. Did you. You want a fun fact about Home Alone inside of your fun inside your facts for days? Okay, the scene where the. What are the. The bird burglars names?
[02:19:30] Speaker D: Harry and something. Right?
[02:19:32] Speaker A: I was gonna say Harry too, but I don't think that's right.
[02:19:34] Speaker B: No, Harry's one of them, I'm pretty sure. Yeah, Stu. No, Harry. And look that up.
[02:19:40] Speaker A: Alexa, what are the burglars names in Home Alone?
[02:19:44] Speaker E: Here is an answer from an Alexa.
[02:19:46] Speaker B: Answers contributor that I translated.
[02:19:48] Speaker A: Just translated from the movie Home Alone.
[02:19:50] Speaker B: Are called Harry and Marv. Harry and Marv.
[02:19:53] Speaker D: Marv.
[02:19:53] Speaker B: Alexa, shut up.
[02:19:55] Speaker A: Up.
[02:19:57] Speaker B: Yeah, Harry and Marv. So when they're driving the. They're scoping everything out in the neighborhood, right? And they drive down the driveway and Kevin is coming home from the grocery store and they almost hit him. And he gets a scene where he's like, ah, it gets like two inches from his face. You know what I'm talking about?
[02:20:11] Speaker A: Yeah.
[02:20:11] Speaker B: They filmed that in reverse because they couldn't do it safely going forward.
That's smart.
[02:20:16] Speaker A: You don't hit a kid.
[02:20:16] Speaker B: So they did it. They filmed that whole scene in reverse.
[02:20:19] Speaker A: Yeah, it's hard to have a stunt double problem for a kid too, unless you're gonna bring in a small person.
[02:20:22] Speaker B: Well, especially in that scene because he's just like. It's literally like an inch from his face.
[02:20:26] Speaker A: So yeah, I'm assuming they filmed it outside. In the conditions, it's probably wet and a little bit slippery.
[02:20:31] Speaker B: And they just were like. There's literally no possible way for us to calculate exactly when you need to hit your brakes and make sure that you actually do that.
[02:20:37] Speaker A: Yeah. So fair enough.
[02:20:39] Speaker B: Yeah. Number three Number three.
[02:20:42] Speaker A: Number three, wanted to clear up a little bit of PC culture here. Okay. In modern times.
[02:20:48] Speaker B: We did some of that earlier. We're doing some now.
[02:20:49] Speaker A: Yeah, we're just.
[02:20:50] Speaker B: Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas.
[02:20:51] Speaker A: We're just getting. Continuing to make America great again.
[02:20:54] Speaker D: Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas.
[02:20:55] Speaker B: Make Christmas great again.
[02:20:56] Speaker A: Make Christmas great again.
Oftentimes we see in modern day Christmas abbreviated Xmas as Xmas, and we all assume that's because they're trying to take the Christ out of Christmas. But did you know the word actually dates back to the mid-1500s and gets its roots from the Greek letter X, which is the first letter letter in the Greek word for Christ?
[02:21:21] Speaker B: Of course I knew that.
[02:21:22] Speaker D: Ah, interesting.
[02:21:24] Speaker B: I didn't know that.
[02:21:25] Speaker D: I just thought it was because people didn't want to, like, write it all out because they're lazy.
[02:21:28] Speaker A: Yeah, well, there's that too, but a.
[02:21:30] Speaker B: Lot of people are like, I think that probably.
[02:21:31] Speaker A: But a lot of people get angry when they see Xmas and they go.
[02:21:33] Speaker B: Oh, but no, X really stands for.
[02:21:35] Speaker A: Christ, but X. Yeah, in Greek. It's just basically a symbol for Christ in ancient Greek. So I did have a quick bonus fact.
[02:21:43] Speaker B: Oh, bonus fact.
[02:21:44] Speaker A: Bonus fact. Since it's Christmas, extra presents for the kids. An estimated 85% of American children believe in Santa Claus, which is low because he does exist.
The average age in which children stop believing is 8, which is silly because he does exist.
And according to, you know, or essentially, the reason we know that he exists is because during the months of November and December. December. Santa does receive over 32, 000 letters daily.
[02:22:19] Speaker B: Wow, that's a lot.
[02:22:22] Speaker A: You don't get 32, 000 letters a day unless you exist. Like, who? Who's getting them?
[02:22:26] Speaker B: Yeah, my daughter's is going out this week, so.
[02:22:28] Speaker A: Yeah, so again, 85 of American kids. There's kids missing out. Yeah, thought that was a low number there.
[02:22:35] Speaker B: Feels bad for the 15 that you got to believe. You're just. You're just missing out, you know?
[02:22:39] Speaker A: Gotta believe.
[02:22:40] Speaker B: Yeah. Feels bad.
Is that it?
[02:22:44] Speaker A: Best facts for days. Oh, dang, dang, ding dang Christmas facts.
[02:22:48] Speaker D: Well, I'm gonna go practice for Christmas night and I'm gonna go to sleep.
[02:22:53] Speaker B: So.
[02:22:56] Speaker D: Bon appetit, fellas.
[02:23:00] Speaker A: Don't just be a part of the problem, be the whole damn hundredth problem.
[02:23:07] Speaker B: I got 99 problems anyways.
