[00:01:11] Speaker B: It's time. Time for the Burning River Sportscast. From super bowl to toilet bowl, the eternal hope and optimism for a season of change came and went faster than Red hot Ronnie Jams and a Riley Reed Fleshlight. Sunday's game was a testament to the long enduring fan base of the Cleveland Browns. Even when things are going right, it to all go horribly wrong. Yes, the Browns did Browns things again. I'd love to tell you that it'll get better, that this season is far from over, that a playoff run is still in the cards. But who am I kidding? We all know what we saw. A good football team. A team that was prepared and every bit equal to their opponent. A smart and measured approach carefully cultivated by Ivy League highbrows. And still the Browns is the Browns.
Can we just build this dome already?
[00:01:57] Speaker A: We'll.
[00:01:57] Speaker B: We'll do something for you. Next on the Burning River Sportscast.
[00:02:05] Speaker C: The kicker sucks.
[00:02:06] Speaker B: The kicker.
[00:02:07] Speaker C: The kicker.
[00:02:07] Speaker B: Whoa, whoa, whoa.
No balls.
[00:02:11] Speaker A: Oh, I'm in Hawaii watching the game.
They don't call me Ronnie Seacrest for nothing.
[00:02:17] Speaker B: Nobody calls you that. First year kicker Andre Schmidt sucks.
[00:02:22] Speaker D: Breaking news, he won an award in college.
[00:02:25] Speaker A: He did the Rose Award.
[00:02:28] Speaker B: I mean, imagine a 20 yard chip shot. In your mind, you're thinking, that's easy. If you did it a hundred times, how many times would you the same thing over and over and over again? Would you? No.
[00:02:37] Speaker A: We're stuck in a schmitty situation.
[00:02:40] Speaker B: Schmitty.
[00:02:42] Speaker A: Like, I don't want to touch this dong. I don't know where it's been.
[00:02:44] Speaker B: I'm sure it was a clean dong. You probably don't take a.
[00:02:46] Speaker A: You don't take a huge green yong to a stadium to throw it. If you do that, look yourself in the mirror.
[00:02:52] Speaker B: Although, how did they get it in exactly?
[00:02:54] Speaker A: And you know what I say to Bengals fans, to all of them?
[00:02:57] Speaker B: F them.
[00:03:00] Speaker A: So F you, Mike DeWine.
[00:03:01] Speaker D: That man flexed his muscles.
[00:03:03] Speaker B: Happy birthday dear Brennan Happy birthday to you.
[00:03:11] Speaker D: Don't touch that shit. You're gonna Burn yourself.
[00:03:13] Speaker B: Don't touch it.
[00:03:13] Speaker A: A rare swear word from bone.
[00:03:20] Speaker B: Welcome into the Burning River Sportscast. Presented by the fine folks at Tappin Media. I'm Kenny Thunder. He might look like he's inbred, but in New York City, they call that a bagel. He's red hot. Ronnie Jams.
[00:03:31] Speaker A: I don't know.
[00:03:32] Speaker B: Inbred.
[00:03:33] Speaker A: Any ide.
[00:03:35] Speaker B: On the board today? He's harder than hitting a fastball. He's the big bone man. Bone, I have a question for you. Ronnie James can play too.
Before I ask it though, I can't take credit for this. I did. I saw this on the Nate Vergozzi Show.
[00:03:50] Speaker A: I love Nate Borgazzi.
[00:03:51] Speaker B: Discussing this. It seemed like something we need.
[00:03:52] Speaker A: This isn't a plug, but go watch this.
[00:03:54] Speaker B: Discussing it was funny.
[00:03:55] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:03:57] Speaker B: What is the longest lasting household appliance? Most reliable, most durable household appliance?
[00:04:04] Speaker D: It's got to be the oven.
[00:04:10] Speaker B: Do you have an idea?
[00:04:12] Speaker A: I'm gonna go with furnace.
[00:04:16] Speaker B: Never really thought of that as an appliance.
[00:04:18] Speaker D: I was thinking straight kitchen.
[00:04:19] Speaker A: Like kitchen, appliance, refrigerator.
[00:04:21] Speaker B: It's actually the dishwasher.
[00:04:24] Speaker A: Son of a. It makes sense. Mine's from like 19. Is it me? Is it. Is it my wife?
Yeah, that's funny.
[00:04:32] Speaker B: The average woman in the U.S. lives 78.
[00:04:34] Speaker A: Yeah, I saw that.

An interview with another Browns backers chapter and of course the week two preview for the game in Baltimore.
[00:05:40] Speaker B: So much action in one show.
[00:05:41] Speaker A: Oh yeah. But guys, Johnny Cash sang it best when he's saying I hurt myself today to see if I still feel.
I focus on the pain.
The only thing that's real. I'm just as sad as you, Kenny. Let's get things started with the Burning river news story of the.
All right, so for this week's burning of a news story of the week, Sherwin Williams this week has cut their 401k match. And I know Kenny, you have some things to say about this, so I'm gonna let you say them.
[00:06:29] Speaker B: I just, I just thought it was interesting. Obviously big news in the financial world when something like that happens. Sherwin Williams is a huge employer in Cleveland. I think they have around 5,000 employees. Just built that brand new beautiful campus downtown.
But I just happened to notice, you know, as this news broke that they're cutting the employee match on the 401k which is I think up to 6% of what your contribution is. They would match as you put that into your retirement account.
I just was wondering how the 5,000 employees in Cleveland at Sherwin Williams felt when they looked up on Sunday at the Browns Jumbotron and saw what had to have cost probably tens of millions of dollars for signage for Sherwin Williams on top of the scoreboard.
Got money for marketing but apparently none for our employees.
[00:07:21] Speaker A: I just think this is like a microcosm of today's workplace. Like this is, this happens with big companies all across America every single day. And it's just wild to me.
[00:07:29] Speaker B: Like it's where your priorities at. Yeah, they blamed slumping sales.
[00:07:34] Speaker A: We can't, we can't help our employees with their 401ks. But you know, we can do, we can buy a big sign.
[00:07:38] Speaker B: We can buy a big sign.
[00:07:39] Speaker A: We don't. We don' even going to buy the sign. We're just going to buy the naming rights to the sign.
[00:07:43] Speaker B: Right?
[00:07:43] Speaker A: Yeah. So. And in 15 years we're going to have to buy them again.
[00:07:47] Speaker B: The last time Sher Williams cut employer match on the 401k was during the 2007, 2008 financial crisis. So it took a full blown recession and one of the worst economic collapses in modern history, which apparently is also happening now.
[00:08:03] Speaker A: You didn't know that the two things that caused you to cut your 401k match is recession and big marketing budget, I guess.
[00:08:13] Speaker B: So that's it.
[00:08:13] Speaker A: Those are the two things.
[00:08:14] Speaker B: So I just, you know, would you, if you were one of the employees, would you trade that signage for your match?
[00:08:19] Speaker A: Hell, I know I would.
Yeah. I mean, it's just really unfortunate. Really bad look, Sherwin Williams, I mean we aren't usually in the business of calling out local businesses, but that's a really bad look.
[00:08:29] Speaker B: No, I just, I mean it just was relevant because they're such a big employer here locally and obviously we aren't.
[00:08:34] Speaker A: In the business of calling out local businesses.
But anyways, luckily there's a bonus news story of the week this week. And in happier and less controversial news, a Cleveland couple got married in front of the stadium before the game on Sunday. Cleveland Browns super fans Desiree wheeler and Charles Be Bevel Jr. Who first crossed paths at a tailgate, got married in the muni lot ahead of the the season opener this week.
[00:08:59] Speaker B: So an orange and brown wedding.
[00:09:01] Speaker A: Absolutely. They described their game day nuptials as a full circle moment as they met while at a Browns game, while tailgating for a Browns game a few years back.
[00:09:12] Speaker B: So thought of that as a romantic story before.
[00:09:15] Speaker A: Well, here we are.
The Browns heard about this, gifted them 50 yard line tickets for the game. So that was pretty cool.
And Wheeler, just so you guys know, she goes by first lady on social media. They're super fans, so she goes by First Lady.
She wore a white dress with orange detailing on the waist along with a veil attached to a white Browns cap. Of course, in the groom known as Brown Spider. I'm sure most of you have heard of him.
He sported a Browns inspired look featuring a bright orange dress shirt paired with white pants, a white vest detailed with orange floral accents, and a white tie.
He too accessorized with a Browns cap plus a pair of his signature Spider man sunglasses.
So if anybody, I mean if you guys haven't seen him in the tailgating in the muni lot, he's got the big huge glasses and walks around just like pumps people up like he's like, like a spider. He's a brown spider.
[00:10:04] Speaker B: N. I guess that's the secret to getting great seats. You have to get married in the muni lot.
[00:10:08] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah.
Despite the rainy weather on Sunday, it's worth the annulment. Yeah. A lot of people will gather around to to see the the ceremony take place. Han Schneider, AKA Brown's Batman, who was also the mayor of Wellington, Ohio.
Interestingly enough, officiated the ceremony and then retired Browns wide receiver Webster Slaughter said a prayer and gave a speech. I know Webster Webster loves these kind of things.
[00:10:34] Speaker B: We got to officiated the actual wedding on the.
[00:10:36] Speaker A: On the Browns fan crews. Yeah. And we got to be a part of that and witness all that and. And Webster, great, great speaker. So.
[00:10:43] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:10:44] Speaker A: The festivities also included a wedding cake topped with a small Browns helmet and a frame stadium selfie of the couple. So very cool. We've said it before. We'll say it again. There is no fan base like the Cleveland Browns fan base.
[00:10:56] Speaker B: You know, I keep seeing that story that it was raining. I, like, was I under a rock? Like, I felt like it was beautiful here on Sunday.
[00:11:03] Speaker A: We're a little bit south, though. We're more towards at was that much rain up in Cleveland early on? Not really toward. Not during the game, but like, early on beforehand.
[00:11:11] Speaker B: Interesting.
[00:11:12] Speaker A: But anyways, congratulations to the newlyweds, and may your marriage be filled with far more wins than the Browns are able to provide for us. So.
[00:11:20] Speaker D: Nice.
[00:11:20] Speaker B: Yeah, fair enough.
[00:11:22] Speaker A: One more thing. Before we get to the Browns, let me remind you to call the burger sportscast.
Don't forget to call and leave your hot takes on the hot take hotline. We've got a new number, and while we don't like it as much as our old number, it's here to stay, so get used to it. Remember, these are hot takes. We want hot takes.
[00:11:38] Speaker B: We want hot takes.
[00:11:40] Speaker A: We want hot takes. Text 3302-2780-8133-0227-808-13302, 27-8081-3302-2278-1330, 081 and before we move on, we actually have a few. We're gonna list those now.
[00:11:55] Speaker B: Yeah, we can plan.
[00:11:56] Speaker A: All right.
[00:11:57] Speaker C: All right, baby.
[00:12:00] Speaker A: That's what we got to celebrate, right?
[00:12:02] Speaker C: You know damn well who it is.
Having Lakers bronze bags North Jersey with angry Bobby and Tim the forgotten one.
Tim, it's not.
[00:12:16] Speaker B: They don't suck.
They don't suck.
[00:12:18] Speaker C: The kicker sucks.
[00:12:19] Speaker A: The kicker.
[00:12:20] Speaker B: Fuck the kicker. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
[00:12:24] Speaker C: Friendly dog water. We got rid of Dustin Hopkins for this guy. I mean, Dustin Hopkins didn't do anything. But I'd like to thank you that make those two catches today. But my book, we are 1 010. Well, the worst part about your book.
[00:12:39] Speaker E: Is it doesn't count, so.
[00:12:41] Speaker C: All right, gents, we'll give you a question. What do we do at kicker now? What is our next hope? What do we aim for? Is this why we went for Fourth on fourth downs this so often, but always a pleasure, guys.
[00:12:56] Speaker B: We're out.
[00:12:57] Speaker C: Good night.
[00:12:59] Speaker A: All right. So good night, Akron. So, first of all, it's always a pleasure hearing from the North Jersey Browns backers.
[00:13:09] Speaker B: The best. The best to ever do to them.
Are you speechless?
[00:13:15] Speaker A: I'm a little speechless. No, guys, listen, first of all, that was good. I like that in your book. The problem with your book is your book doesn't count.
I mean, absolutely. The Browns are 0 and 1, that's for sure. And the kicker is a problem.
[00:13:31] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:13:31] Speaker A: It's not. Don't be a part of the problem. Be the whole damn. And the kicker is the whole damn problem.
And so your question is, what do we do at kicker? If you ask us, we cut him.
[00:13:43] Speaker B: Yeah. I've been giving us a lot of thought, actually. You cut him. I think we just go without a kicker going forward. And you just go for two every time.
[00:13:50] Speaker A: Oh.
[00:13:51] Speaker B: BoJo handles the kickoff duties.
[00:13:52] Speaker A: I like this.
[00:13:53] Speaker B: And then we can add another corner or something.
[00:13:55] Speaker A: Yeah, I like it.
[00:13:56] Speaker D: A little more depth.
[00:13:57] Speaker A: Revolutionary.
[00:13:58] Speaker B: Yeah. Just. Who needs a kicker?
[00:13:59] Speaker A: I mean, statistically, they actually are a lot of coaches that do this in high school and in. And at the college level, half the.
[00:14:06] Speaker B: Time, it evens out. And if you get extra year in.
[00:14:08] Speaker A: Advantage statistically, like, the only time that they punt these. The teams that are doing this punt or kick is, like, if there's no possible way to make it.
[00:14:18] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:14:19] Speaker A: Or like, for the punt. No possible way to get a first down for the kick. The only time they kick it is like, you need three points to win and that's it.
[00:14:28] Speaker B: No, we don't even do that. You just throw Hail Marys. We got no kicker.
[00:14:31] Speaker A: There's no kicker. But anyways, yeah, I mean, I'm all for it. I say just get rid of the kick.
[00:14:35] Speaker B: I mean, that's what we needed on Sunday to win, was three points to win, and we didn't. It didn't matter that you had.
[00:14:39] Speaker A: We lost. And it was a short kick.
[00:14:41] Speaker B: You had a better chance of just throwing the ball to the end.
[00:14:42] Speaker A: Feels bad. So the answer is you cut him. But we talked about it Sunday night on our live stream, and Kevin Tifisky does not have the balls. And that is confirmed because he came out and said.
[00:14:54] Speaker B: Said no balls.
[00:14:57] Speaker A: No, but he came out and said, I'm not there yet. Yeah, so of course you're not, Kevin.
[00:15:05] Speaker B: You know what I loved, too, was they asked Kevin, this is the same guy.
[00:15:08] Speaker A: I just have to say, this is the same guy that told Us. Deshaun Watson gives us the, the best chance to win. Oh, I said his name. We're at zero days talking zero days without talking about desean Watson.
[00:15:21] Speaker D: I'll change the click.
[00:15:22] Speaker A: Yeah, I, I have actually a whiteboard over there. I'm gonna bring it over here in a minute.
[00:15:26] Speaker B: Yeah, feels bad.
[00:15:30] Speaker A: What were you gonna say?
[00:15:34] Speaker B: I got my 80 A.D. now I got.
[00:15:36] Speaker A: Okay, all right, let's go to the next call. We got another one.
[00:15:38] Speaker B: What was I gonna say?
[00:15:39] Speaker A: I don't care.
[00:15:39] Speaker B: What were we just talking about?
[00:15:40] Speaker A: I don't know. I literally don't care what you were gonna say. Sean Watson, Kevin Stefanski, he doesn't have balls.
[00:15:45] Speaker B: Oh. What I, what I loved about Kevin.
[00:15:47] Speaker A: That'S what got him.
[00:15:50] Speaker B: They asked him, they were like, did you say anything to him after he missed the field goal? The first one? Like did you talk to him at all or even after the second one said no, you're the damn coach.
[00:16:00] Speaker A: Yeah. You got a rookie go over there and say, hey man, you know who was over there?
[00:16:06] Speaker B: You know who was over there?
[00:16:06] Speaker A: Yeah, the first guy over there saying, hey, don't worry about it. Get him next time. Yeah, yeah, both times.
[00:16:13] Speaker B: What a selfish social media influencer.
[00:16:16] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:16:16] Speaker B: That's the only guy looking out for teammates on Sunday.
[00:16:19] Speaker A: Yeah. Your head coach can't even be bothered, you know, it happens. Keep your head up. Let's go get them next time.
[00:16:27] Speaker B: I mean just, just something, you know, let them know, hey, you're still in the game, man. I didn't get a chance for redemption.
[00:16:32] Speaker A: I don't talk to anybody.
[00:16:34] Speaker B: Why would I talk to the kicker? I got this play sheet in front of me. I'm busy with.
[00:16:37] Speaker A: Yep, we got another call.
[00:16:38] Speaker C: Cliff here with the Mile High Browns backers on a double edged sword day.
Things in Mile High were fantastic as far as fans showing up over 220 in Stoney's once again for opening day. And we raised $730 for our, for our designated charities. So that was fantastic.
Let's talk about the dang game.
[00:17:10] Speaker A: Kicking.
[00:17:11] Speaker C: Obviously four points left on the board, off the board are inexcusable, but I can't help. And two interceptions that in reality were not Joe Flacco's fault.
They were tough catches to make, but boy, those balls got kicked up in the air right to another bungle.
But let's. I can't help to think that the encroachment or the offside penalty on Miles Garrett on the first drive of the game was a back breaker. That stop that Drive would have ended if he doesn't come across the. Or at least they would have had to. It had been third and 10 instead of third and four or whatever. Whatever, you know, it happened in. But that encroachment. Oh, that's the one that got me all stoked out. Anyway, anyways, Disappointing day. Double edged sword.
I had to watch the place, watch the game from residents in Maui, Hawaii.
It sucks that we were checking out at the time of the. At the. Towards the end of the game. We left at the end of the fourth quarter, but was able to watch highlights through the game and that missed field goal.
Anyways, next week, Stoney's. Everybody be there. We'll see. We'll talk to you guys later.
[00:18:40] Speaker A: First of all, Cliff, the ultimate promoter.
[00:18:44] Speaker B: Love Cliff.
[00:18:45] Speaker A: Love Cliff. He's always. He's always selling everyone on Stoney's. Stoney's is a dope ass place, but if you haven't heard about it, you will.
[00:18:53] Speaker B: The way, the way Cliff talks about it, you would have thought he would have been there.
[00:18:56] Speaker A: He wasn't there.
[00:18:56] Speaker B: It was like. I was in Hawaii.
[00:18:57] Speaker A: He was like, it was great. There was 200 people. I wasn't there.
[00:19:00] Speaker B: Congratulations to Cliff's daughter, by the way. Right. That's the reason they ran Hawaii. Getting married.
Congrats.
So, yeah, I'm sure that was a terrible trip to have to take.
[00:19:08] Speaker A: Oh, I'm in Hawaii watching the game.
[00:19:12] Speaker B: Yeah.
You know, interesting take on. On the Miles Garrett play.
[00:19:17] Speaker A: Yeah, you know, I was. That's actually what I want to start with too. Go ahead, say what you're going to say.
[00:19:22] Speaker B: I didn't. I. At the end of the game, retrospectively, I didn't go there, but when it happened, I did. I texted you guys. I was like, Miles already jumped like, like mid season form. He likes to do that.
[00:19:34] Speaker A: He's a big fan. And, you know, it's funny. I had it. I had it. I was watching the. The. At that point, I was watching the. The, like game cast, like not on TV because I was trying to, you know, double duty, watch the kids and. And pay attention to the Browns and.
[00:19:49] Speaker B: Oh, I'm a dad.
[00:19:51] Speaker A: But you sent me. You sent me Miles Garrett mid season form and I caught like his pressure or whatever he did, like right around that time.
And I like in the. And I didn't see that he had gone offside. So I thought you were being serious. And I'm just now finding out that, no, you were being sarcastic.
So that feels bad.
[00:20:10] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah, that was a pretty critical play.
Now I mean, there was a lot that happened after that. But.
But it's. It's worth noting, at least you know, that would. That, would that, because otherwise they marched right down the field. I mean, they were stopped at the. That point.
[00:20:25] Speaker A: So, yeah, listen, he may have jumped off sides in that play and it may have extended that drive and led to some points. But here's the deal. You said it in the. In the live stream on Sunday last night. We. We are not going to harp on Miles Garrett anymore.
[00:20:40] Speaker B: I can't criticize him anymore. He's the best Browns defensive player to ever put the jersey on, period.
[00:20:45] Speaker A: I mean, he was just a force out there. I mean, even though he.
[00:20:50] Speaker B: He.
[00:20:50] Speaker A: He walked away with two sacks, I mean, there was a lot of pressures, a lot of. He was just. There was just. It was just so disruptive in that game throughout the entire thing, and he was constantly double teamed like he always is, and he still got two sacks, so. Two sacks.
[00:21:05] Speaker B: Well, in on that drive that they pushed Burrow back all three times, I mean, they damn near had a safety. They. The defense damn near won the game without the offense. They were like, we'll do it for you.
[00:21:15] Speaker A: It's times like that you wonder, like, did they literally go into the huddle and they're like, we, we've.
[00:21:18] Speaker B: We're gonna.
[00:21:18] Speaker A: We gotta do it. We gotta do it.
[00:21:20] Speaker D: They just kept responding.
[00:21:21] Speaker A: Yeah. After.
[00:21:22] Speaker B: Yeah. What I, What I loved about Miles's effort in that game was, and we've been through, you know, this scenario before where it feels like critical juncture in the game. You need a big play on defense, at least a disruptive play. Miles showed up every time on Sunday where he felt like, God, we just really need that guy to make that play. Like Miles was there putting pressure on Burrow or making a sack, like, like he was phenomenal all day long.
[00:21:46] Speaker A: Yeah. So I think, bottom line, Cliff, we hear you.
But Miles Gary had two sacks, so, you know, we're going to leave it at that.
[00:21:56] Speaker B: Still love Cliff?
[00:21:56] Speaker A: Yeah, still love you, Cliff.
And congratulations again with your daughter and the fact that Stoney was bumping for this one. That's. That's always good to hear.
[00:22:04] Speaker B: Yeah. 700 bucks. First night in. Good night.
[00:22:06] Speaker A: That's a good start. Yeah. Was there anything else? Was that the two we had this week?
[00:22:10] Speaker B: That was the two we had.
All right.
[00:22:11] Speaker A: Well, once again, Burning River Sportscast hot take hotline. 330-2278-081.
[00:22:17] Speaker B: 3-302278-081.
[00:22:21] Speaker D: Yeah. 3302-2780-8133-0227, 8, 1.
[00:22:26] Speaker A: And speaking of hot takes, it's time for the first edition of mission control with brownstronaut.
[00:22:32] Speaker B: C minus 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 0.
Ignition.
Liftoff.
Liftoff. 33.
[00:22:52] Speaker A: Mission Control, this is brown Chinot calling.
[00:22:54] Speaker B: On the burning river sportscast. Do you guys copy?
Roger that. This Sunday, the Browns rocket into ravens territory. Myles Garrett has his eyes locked on Mr. Jackson while Joe flacco is steering the ship back into the enemy territory.
[00:23:07] Speaker A: The ravens might think they own this.
[00:23:08] Speaker B: Galaxy, but their defense just got blasted for 41 points.
[00:23:12] Speaker A: Shields down.
[00:23:14] Speaker B: Strap in, dog pound. It's time to send Baltimore back into the black hole.
[00:23:22] Speaker A: Well, I feel a little better about this week after that. I know you don't, but I feel a little bit better. I feel a little bit better.
[00:23:29] Speaker B: I love brownster not, but I don't feel any better.
[00:23:36] Speaker A: Well, then let's go ahead and get into the vertigamer sportscast dog of the week.
[00:23:41] Speaker B: You gotta play tough people in the national football league. You gotta be ready and we gotta be the dogs that we are every time we step on there on Sunday and be ready to attack and don't stop until we're in that locker room.
[00:23:57] Speaker A: Speaking of Webster slaughter, I just mentioned him a few minutes ago. Yeah, yeah.
[00:24:00] Speaker B: Weird, weird, weird.
[00:24:02] Speaker A: Yeah. So we leave it up to our listeners and followers to determine the burning of our sportscast dog of the week each week on our live shows on Sunday night, we each nominate a dog of the week candidate and from there we turn it over to all of you on our socials to vote and make the final decision. This week's nominees, Kenny Harold Fannin Jr. I nominated Miles Garrett and bone Denzel award.
And after the fan vote that was conducted today on our social media, the burning river sportscast dog of the week is Miles Garrett. Starting the season off strong, Miles Garrett had two sacks this one, three quarterback pressures, five tackles, all solo. I think four, four tackle for loss. So just came out strong. I mean, we've talked about it a lot already.
[00:24:48] Speaker B: Phenomenal game.
[00:24:49] Speaker A: Yeah, we. We already talked about a lot in this episode so we don't really have to to keep talking about it. But I mean, he looked good. If he looks this good all season long, he's probably got a back to back dpo. Why Honors, right?
I guess not back to back. It was. It wasn't dpoi, but shoot that one tackle certain won it last year. So he'll have two in the last three years.
[00:25:06] Speaker D: But still he came around, came around the end as he normally does and then hawked Joey B. Down, like pushing up the middle. That was almost a sack. But I think he just got over the line of gain there.
[00:25:18] Speaker B: He really should have had three fast.
[00:25:20] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:25:21] Speaker D: So fast.
[00:25:21] Speaker A: And that was why. That was one of those, those plays too, that we talk about. Like that there were a ton of effort on that play. I mean he just came around and. And missed him the first time and said I'll just keep going.
[00:25:29] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:25:30] Speaker A: So yeah. Miles Garrett, this week's Burning river sportscast dog of the week.
[00:25:34] Speaker B: I love how you do the actual fan be like the Ryan Seacrest on American Idol.
[00:25:40] Speaker A: The fans determined they don't call me Ronnie Seacrest for nothing.
[00:25:43] Speaker B: Nobody calls you that.
[00:25:47] Speaker A: In other Browns news, we really need.
[00:25:53] Speaker B: To name this segment.
[00:25:54] Speaker A: Yeah. Quinshawn Judkins actually signed his contract after our episode last week. So we're talking about that now. Four years. I think it was 11.8 million fully guaranteed. So the Browns didn't sign his deal thinking that he might miss time. They didn't want to fully guarantee his deal thinking that he might miss time due to suspension and instead waited too long to sign his fully guaranteed deal so that he could miss time due to not signing in time.
[00:26:18] Speaker B: 11.4.
[00:26:19] Speaker A: 11.4. My bad.
[00:26:21] Speaker B: Million dollars.
[00:26:21] Speaker A: But still my point is valid.
[00:26:23] Speaker B: That's probably what he wanted was 11.8. That's what it took.
[00:26:26] Speaker A: So that's what. That's what it was. Yeah. My bad. Bad.
[00:26:28] Speaker B: Oops. Yeah. I mean, typical Browns fashion, right? Like this. Like we're in a day and age where most second rounders get a guaranteed contract. So despite everything that happened, you picked the guy in the second round. He is a premier talent if you want him on the team. Why didn't this deal get done earlier?
[00:26:43] Speaker A: I mean, were they now we're just wasting time.
[00:26:45] Speaker B: The range of dollar figures. I mean most second rounders make between 8 and 10 million dollars. So maybe this is a little on the high side, but most of them get a $10 million guaranteed contract. Like this wasn't that far off the off the target. Why until the day.
[00:27:00] Speaker A: Well, I think the, the number on the contract is actually tiered. So it's.
That's just what it is now. Like you don't even negotiate the number. I'm pretty sure it is just 11.4 for. For his draft position. It goes by draft position, but either way, yeah, I don't know what the holdup was. Especially because what's changed in the last Two and a half weeks. Literally nothing. Nothing has changed in the last two and a half weeks. So why did we wait this long to sign him? It just doesn't make any sense.
[00:27:26] Speaker D: Goes without saying. We probably could have used him on Sunday.
[00:27:28] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, yeah, if we had it like a solid three down running back, we probably would have won that game handily.
[00:27:34] Speaker B: But I didn't hate what I saw to Dylan Sampson. He didn't have a great game.
[00:27:37] Speaker A: No, but. But it would have been nice to have like a really good running back start and then Dylan Sampson.
[00:27:42] Speaker B: Well, and it certainly would have been Jerome Ford being on another team, Sampson and Jenkins together. Because I think that combination you can figure in a third down running back out of one of those two.
[00:27:51] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:27:52] Speaker B: Sampson's hands were surprisingly very good.
[00:27:54] Speaker D: Very good.
[00:27:55] Speaker B: But I think Judkins also has a good pair of hands. So like either one of those guys can fill that role and drone forward clearly can't.
[00:28:02] Speaker A: Yeah. Next up here, Andre Schmidt still on the team.
Kevin Stefanski said he's just not there yet. We talked about this in the, in the hot take hotline.
You know, there's not really much else to say. He's going to be here a while because he's a rookie. They're going to give him time to develop. We, we were going to lose a lot of games anyways, so they just don't care.
[00:28:22] Speaker B: A rookie, He' just a first year.
[00:28:24] Speaker A: He's a rookie in the NFL.
[00:28:26] Speaker B: He's not a rookie. They don't consider him a rookie because he's been professional for.
[00:28:30] Speaker A: Because he's been on practice teams for.
[00:28:32] Speaker B: Was on a roster at one point. He's 26 years old.
[00:28:35] Speaker A: He's never started a game in the NFL.
[00:28:37] Speaker B: That's true.
[00:28:38] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:28:39] Speaker B: So yeah, first year kicker Andre Schmidt sucks.
Breaking news.
Look, I think you're right. I mean we're going to be dealing with him for a few more weeks. I just like we talked about this last night is that the Browns just didn't take this seriously in the off season. Season. No.
[00:28:55] Speaker A: And that's what it's misplaced anger even from us. It's not Andre Schmidt's fault.
No, listen, this goes back to Katie.
[00:29:01] Speaker D: York, Kate York, fourth round draft pick.
[00:29:05] Speaker A: Dustin Hopkins we gave a huge contract to and now Andre Schmidt. Like one, there's a problem with special teams coach and two, there's a problem with the dude that's evaluating the talent at the kicker position.
[00:29:16] Speaker B: Yeah. To your point about Andre Schmidt, like, it's not his fault.
His last job Kicking anything professionally was for a team called the Battle Hawks.
So you can't expect that guy to come in and be a premier NFL talent like usfl.
He's not a real football team, so, you know, he's. He's already got the deck stacked against him, and so it's not personal. Like, he's just not very good. But the Browns should have brought in some kind of veteran that has some track record and longevity of kicking the NFL. If they wanted to not lose games by a.
[00:29:50] Speaker A: With all the question marks on your team, wouldn't it be nice if this wasn't one of them?
[00:29:53] Speaker B: Yeah, like, this is one that you probably. It just shouldn't be a talking point.
[00:29:57] Speaker A: Yep. I'll close it with this on Andre Schmidt. With all that being said, we do hope he turns it around and develops his great, great kicker, but he's 26 years old. He's probably not going to change.
[00:30:07] Speaker B: Well, my whole thing with Andre Schmidt is like, yeah, it looks bad. He missed the kicks. You got to make those kicks. This team had plenty of opportunities to win that. It shouldn't have been down to Andre Schmidt to win.
[00:30:18] Speaker D: Just a. Just a side note on that, guys, Buffalo Skicker met Prater. He was like, sitting on the couch two or three days ago coaching high school football or something like that.
[00:30:28] Speaker A: Exactly.
[00:30:28] Speaker D: And he came in and made some huge kicks for them.
[00:30:30] Speaker B: Yeah. And we talked about that last night, just after the game. Like, I. It was very clear that Buffalo is a good franchise that intends to win games this year. And so when their kicker got hurt before the season started, they went out and find a guy, found a guy that's actually kicked NFL field goals before.
[00:30:45] Speaker A: Yeah. And I think it speaks to just the Ivy League, like the highbrow that you always refer to with the Cleveland Browns in the front office.
We just got to go find this diamond in the rough that nobody knows about.
[00:30:56] Speaker B: Find talent in unexpected places.
Baby.
[00:30:59] Speaker A: You don't have to do that. Just go pick up a fucking kicker that knows how to kick the ball.
[00:31:03] Speaker D: He won an award in college.
[00:31:05] Speaker A: He did the Rose Award. Way to go, buddy.
10 years ago, 20 years ago, I was good at football, too.
[00:31:12] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm glad that that's now become a shtick on the show. Hey, look at me.
[00:31:22] Speaker A: We need to make a shirt that just says, oh, man, Kevin's chance.
[00:31:27] Speaker D: His face.
[00:31:29] Speaker B: Yeah, look, I just. This whole thing is. It's just super frustrating because it was. It was what I worried about Dustin Hopkins in the regular. In the season, in the preseason, which was Are they going to keep letting this guy miss field goals? Because you're going to lose games by missed field goal.
[00:31:42] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:31:43] Speaker B: And like, unfortunately for Andre Schmidt, he happened to be the guy that was next, but it just didn't have to be him. It could have been anybody. There was. There are so many kickers out there that have kicked in the NFL before, and I can at least swallow that, you know, like, if a guy that is a veteran comes in and isn't great, okay, I get it. But like, at least I had some level of confidence there. And it's not a shot in the dark. You put a kid out there that was kicking for the Seattle Battle Hawks or St. Louis Battle Hawks, like, what did you think was gonna happen? What?
[00:32:12] Speaker A: They aren't good?
[00:32:12] Speaker B: No, they're not good.
[00:32:13] Speaker A: They're not good.
[00:32:14] Speaker B: And Schmidt's not good.
[00:32:15] Speaker A: Schmidt.
[00:32:16] Speaker B: The hell was Schmidt?
[00:32:17] Speaker A: Piece of Schmidt.
[00:32:18] Speaker B: We were gonna make him a T shirt and we can't make.
[00:32:20] Speaker A: Now we will. It'll be a piece of Schmidt.
[00:32:22] Speaker B: If, if, if he would have made that kick, we would have made all the Schmidt T shirts.
[00:32:27] Speaker A: The. The title of our episode Sunday night was New Year, Same Schmidt.
[00:32:32] Speaker B: So yeah, here's my final thing on this, too.
[00:32:35] Speaker A: We have a lot of final things on this.
[00:32:37] Speaker B: Look, this is the Burning River Sportscast. Talks about specialists. That's what we do.
Kicker is the.
[00:32:43] Speaker A: There's one thing we know is quarterback battles.
[00:32:46] Speaker B: And you kickers, that's what we do.
[00:32:49] Speaker A: Just like Maryland does crab kicks and football.
[00:32:52] Speaker B: Kicking in the NFL is hard. And they move the extra point back a couple years ago real hard. It's become much harder. He wasn't the only guy that missed field goals on Sunday. So that's the only kind of silver lining here is they're going to stick with this guy, stick with Schmidt for a little while longer.
But at the end of the day, like, it is a hard job. And I think we take for granted that it's hard sometimes. I mean, imagine a 20 yard chip shot. In your mind, you're thinking, that's easy. If he did it 100 times, how many times would you do the same thing over and over and over again? Would you know, would you miss it 10 times out of 100 from 20 yards, you missed the green. Maybe ball rolls out unexpectedly. Like stuff, stuff does happen and these guys do work in high leverage situations. And it's tough.
Tampa Bay missed a field goal. I mean, the Steelers didn't have that problem. They kicked 60 yard field goals to win. But we're not the Steelers. So here we are.
[00:33:39] Speaker A: Yeah. So I'll reclose this with.
We really hope he kicking his partner. He's a good kicker. That's what we want for the Browns. Kicker, whoever that is. Is. But right now, we'll just. We're stuck in a Schmitty situation.
[00:33:53] Speaker B: I think they go without kicker. I think that's the way to go. Just go without kicker.
[00:33:57] Speaker A: Next up here, A green dong was thrown on the field.
[00:34:00] Speaker B: Green dong?
[00:34:01] Speaker A: Yeah. You didn't see this?
[00:34:02] Speaker B: No, I definitely did see it. I sent it to you.
[00:34:04] Speaker A: Yeah, I know you did. That's why this pretty much sums up up the Browns right now.
[00:34:08] Speaker B: Right.
[00:34:08] Speaker A: I mean, it's just a green dong on the field.
[00:34:10] Speaker B: I. You know, it was funny because.
[00:34:12] Speaker A: Why is this a thing.
[00:34:13] Speaker B: This thing that started in the wnba, Right. They were throwing the dongs on the court, and they're like, oh, this is so terrible. And sexism. Now it's happening in the NFL.
[00:34:21] Speaker A: This is gonna be the best segment. How many times can we say dong?
[00:34:25] Speaker B: We said dong a lot last week.
[00:34:26] Speaker A: Yeah. Green dogs. We say dong a lot on this show.
[00:34:29] Speaker B: But I love that this is actually taking over at NFL stadiums now because it's.
[00:34:33] Speaker A: I wonder when we're gonna get our first review. That's like, I really don't like this show. They talk about.
[00:34:36] Speaker B: Don't talk about don so much.
[00:34:39] Speaker D: It's just gonna keep happening. This happened at any other stadiums? This.
[00:34:42] Speaker A: Probably not.
[00:34:43] Speaker B: I. I didn't see any of it. But, like, I'm looking forward to the videos.
[00:34:46] Speaker E: Sure.
[00:34:47] Speaker B: Because it is funny. Funny.
[00:34:48] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:34:48] Speaker B: Like, we don't. We don't. We shouldn't condone that publicly. But it is funny.
[00:34:52] Speaker A: I just like when they throw dogs on the field. Yeah. Did you see the video of the ref picking it up? Like.
Like, I don't want to touch this dong. I don't know where it's been.
[00:34:59] Speaker B: I'm sure it was a clean dog. You probably don't think.
[00:35:01] Speaker A: You don't take a huge yong to a stadium to throw it. If you do that, you look yourself in the mirror.
[00:35:07] Speaker B: Although, how did they get it in?
[00:35:09] Speaker D: That's exactly what I was thinking. How many. How many of these.
[00:35:12] Speaker A: That's gonna be so uncomfortable to walk.
[00:35:14] Speaker D: With a security gonna, you know, check around the NFL and confiscate just before.
[00:35:20] Speaker A: You get to your Lord. I didn't need to go there with it. But we're here. We are.
[00:35:24] Speaker D: Just pull people in somebody's bag, you know, maybe they just miss it in the bottom of the bag.
[00:35:28] Speaker B: Pull that waistband out and see if there's any fluorescent green popping up, man.
[00:35:33] Speaker A: So I think, bottom line, green dogs, green dongs. We're here for it.
[00:35:36] Speaker B: We're here for the Green Dogs.
[00:35:38] Speaker A: Next up here, Governor Mike DeWine is a Bengals fan, which is weird, huh? He was at the game, and the Browns are hosting him. He's wearing, like, Browns, like, you know, the. The.
What's the word I'm looking for?
[00:35:52] Speaker B: Lanyard.
[00:35:53] Speaker A: Lanyard. That has. Yeah, I don't know why I couldn't find that one. But the lanyard, the Browns lanyard around his neck. They're hosting him on the field, putting him on the field for the game. And he comes in the Bengals hat.
[00:36:03] Speaker B: Maybe he was thinking, I have a Browns logo lanyard and the Bengals hat. No, like, it's all Ohio.
[00:36:09] Speaker A: He's from the Dayton area. Okay, so fine, he's a Bengals fan. Yeah. So. Which my point was, it's weird that he's a Bengals fan, considering they're in Kentucky.
[00:36:18] Speaker B: Yeah, it is weird.
[00:36:19] Speaker A: And you're the governor of Ohio.
[00:36:20] Speaker B: You're the governor of Ohio. Root for an Ohio team.
[00:36:22] Speaker D: Yeah, represent Ohio.
[00:36:23] Speaker A: Exactly. And you know what I say to Bengals fans, to all of them?
[00:36:26] Speaker B: F of them.
[00:36:29] Speaker A: So F you, Mike DeWine.
[00:36:31] Speaker B: Fu Mike.
[00:36:32] Speaker A: But enough about effing them all. Let's give away a jersey.
[00:36:36] Speaker B: Who does Jim Trestle rude for?
[00:36:38] Speaker A: It's got to be the Browns.
[00:36:40] Speaker B: They're close to Youngstown.
[00:36:42] Speaker A: As I said, enough about F and M all. Let's give away a jersey.
[00:36:44] Speaker B: No more effing them. Oh.
[00:36:46] Speaker A: Okay, guys. So if anybody hasn't been following along, we've had. We've had a jersey giveaway going on. Yeah, I mean, I. I'm. How could you enter that? Kenny, just remind people how you were supposed to enter.

[00:37:02] Speaker B: All the social medias.
[00:37:03] Speaker A: You're the worst at this. You can follow, like, subscribe, all that good stuff. But you got 25 bonus entries if you subscribed on yout.
Because that's where all of our content comes.

And so with that being said, we did pick a winner. Our winner was from Instagram, and our winner is.
That's Brennan Boehner.
Brennan, I'm gonna bring you on now. Thanks for joining us today. How does it feel to be a winner?
[00:37:35] Speaker B: Thanks, guys. Feels great to be a winner. And the new recipient of a David and Joku jersey. Signed David and Joku jersey.
Probably just like you guys, is one of my favorite.
[00:37:46] Speaker A: Yeah, absolutely. Unfortunately, it seems Like, I mean, I hate to say this now, but it seems like his time here is limited because we got a Harold Jr. Now, so.
And that guy looked good. Not that David and Joke who didn't look good yesterday.
[00:37:58] Speaker B: Chief.
[00:37:58] Speaker A: Yeah, we do love David Ajoku. He's clearly a fan favorite here in Cleveland. Cleveland.
But yeah. Tell us a little bit about yourself. How long have you been a Browns fan?
[00:38:09] Speaker B: I've been a Browns fan for about 30 years, I guess. Been Browns backer.
[00:38:16] Speaker A: I'm guessing you're 30?
[00:38:18] Speaker B: Yeah, 30 years old.
[00:38:19] Speaker A: Since birth. Since birth.
[00:38:21] Speaker B: I think I've been a Brownsbacker for at least 20. 20 something years. Been to numerous games.
Yeah, absolutely. Love and bleed the Browns, which is tough, but nice.
[00:38:33] Speaker A: You said you're a member of the the Browns backers. Which chapter are you a member of?
[00:38:39] Speaker B: So I'm a member of the Kent Brownsbackers Chapter 80. And then also I'm a member of the Carolina Brownsbackers in Charlotte, North Carolina.
[00:38:49] Speaker A: That makes more sense. I see the background here and I thought for sure that, like, as soon as you said Kent, it didn't click. It didn't register. I was like, wait, that can't be Kent.
We love Kent. But it's. It's just. It wasn't that nice. So, yeah, that makes more sense. You're down in North Carolina now. Camp Brownsbackers, though. It's right in our backyard. So happy accident that we picked you.
[00:39:11] Speaker B: Here are we the official podcast.
[00:39:13] Speaker A: We are the official podcast of the Kent Brownsbackers. So this is a complete accident. By the way. We did not pick Brennan on purpose, but yeah, being a member of the Brownsbackers, I know they're doing good things for the community all the time. So that's awesome that you're a member of not just one, but two clubs there.
[00:39:29] Speaker B: Pretty cool. Did you come to the Kent brownsbaggers golf outing this year?
No, I was not at that one, but I have been previously. Nice.
[00:39:38] Speaker A: Nice.
[00:39:38] Speaker B: We're.
[00:39:39] Speaker A: We're usually a part of it. We have been a couple times this year.
[00:39:42] Speaker B: We donated some stuff.
[00:39:43] Speaker A: Yeah, we donated some stuff this year, but we weren't able to make it in person. We should. Should be able to go back to that.
[00:39:47] Speaker B: We'll go next year with Brennan.
[00:39:49] Speaker A: Yeah, we'll go.
[00:39:49] Speaker B: There you go.
[00:39:50] Speaker A: Yeah.
But listen, Brennan, we just wanted to bring you on so that we could tell you live. Well, not live, but recorded that you're winning this Browns jersey, this Dave and a Joku Brown's jersey. It's pretty dope.
And we're going to try and get that thing framed for you before we send it out. We'll see what we can do with our sponsor. But real quick, tell everybody who made.
[00:40:10] Speaker B: You a winner all the Burning River Sportscast.

[00:41:20] Speaker A: Thanks, Brennan. Thanks, Brennan. Oh, man, it's good. I love giving stuff away on our show because it just. It just brings the people together. You know what I'm saying?
[00:41:28] Speaker B: Brings them all together.
[00:41:29] Speaker A: Everybody loves free shit.
[00:41:31] Speaker B: There's not a lot to feel good about here here when we talk about the Browns, but Brennan got a Dave.
[00:41:35] Speaker A: In a joker jersey.
[00:41:36] Speaker B: Brennan did win.
[00:41:37] Speaker A: You're welcome. And happy birthday.
[00:41:38] Speaker B: And happy birthday.
[00:41:39] Speaker A: That was. That was a.
[00:41:40] Speaker B: There's a burning reversed.
[00:41:41] Speaker A: We should do that more often. Is your birthday soon? Yeah, we'll sing for you.
Should we sign up for, like. What's that cameo or whatever? Like we. For. For $5.
Nobody wants a cameo from us.
[00:41:56] Speaker B: Happy birthday.
[00:41:57] Speaker A: Oh, absolutely not. Maybe Cliff. Cliff would want one.
[00:42:00] Speaker B: Let's just say Cliff won anyway.
[00:42:02] Speaker A: Yeah, but that'll take us to the division roundup.
All right, so around the AFC north this week, Baltimore lost to the Bills in the final seconds.
[00:42:23] Speaker B: 41.
[00:42:23] Speaker A: Going to 40. And I know we were pissed off about this, Kenny, because we were. We were talking after our show and we were watching this and you're like, oh, we're gonna get a win. And then you. For saying that because it caused a loss.
[00:42:34] Speaker B: They were up 15 with five minutes left.
[00:42:36] Speaker A: Yeah. You're a really bad friend.
So anyways, me.
[00:42:39] Speaker B: My fault.
[00:42:40] Speaker A: Yeah, it is your fault. Me, Kenny and John. That's right. John Hughes is part of King of the North. Now, me, Kenny and John were all wrong on this one. And Bone was right.
[00:42:49] Speaker B: He is the reigning defending.
[00:42:51] Speaker D: Oh, yeah.
[00:42:51] Speaker B: Champion of the King of the North.
[00:42:53] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, whatever, Bone. Next up, Pittsburgh beat the Jets. They should have beat them by a lot more, but they.
You Said it earlier. Last second field goal to beat the Jets, Right.
[00:43:02] Speaker B: Yeah.
Put a lot of points in this game. Aaron Rogers looked okay.
Who? The. The DK Metcalf.
Pretty good.
[00:43:11] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:43:12] Speaker B: But, yeah, they have a real kicker out there.
[00:43:15] Speaker A: Not. Not like the Browns. No, sorry.
[00:43:17] Speaker B: We. We were.
[00:43:18] Speaker A: We were done with that.
[00:43:18] Speaker B: But Roswell. Yeah, he's been around a while.
The jets might be better than trash this year, but they're still not very good.
Breeze Hall's pretty good. Justin Fields looked good in that game.
[00:43:30] Speaker A: I'll give you that. That. That could be dangerous because Justin is good. Well, Justin Fields. Yeah, but I'm saying Justin Fields has rushing ability, so, like, it could be like a. Yeah. I think a poor man's Baltimore Ravens.
[00:43:40] Speaker B: Scored twice in that game.
[00:43:41] Speaker A: Yeah. So on the ground.
Yeah. But anyways, we were all right. Except for John. John.
[00:43:47] Speaker B: Yeah. Sorry about it, John.
[00:43:48] Speaker A: And then finally, Cleveland took a serious.
He lost to the Bengals. Straight to the suck hole. So we were all wrong. Everybody picked the Browns to win that. Shame on us. We knew it was bad when we did it and we did it anyway. So for the AFC north standings.
[00:44:03] Speaker B: Last time I picked the Browns all year.
[00:44:04] Speaker A: Yeah. Pittsburgh is on top at 1 0. Cincinnati is also 1 and. Oh, and then Baltimore and Cleveland are. Oh and one. I put Baltimore ahead of Cleveland just because I assume that's where they'll finish.
[00:44:14] Speaker B: So, yeah, they scored more points, so, yeah, they've got to own that tiebreaker.
[00:44:18] Speaker A: Yeah. Current King of the north standings, which will take. Talk about more later. But bone two and one. Me and Kenny are at one and two and John went over in his. In his. In his debut on King of the North.
[00:44:28] Speaker B: You can play in the NFL, but you can't pick him.
[00:44:30] Speaker A: Yeah, I can't. I can't wait till we tell him that he's got to get a. A Brazilian wax. Yeah. He's going to be so mad.
[00:44:36] Speaker B: He's going to love.
[00:44:36] Speaker A: He's going to be so mad.
And that'll take us to around the NFL.
All right, so quick trip here. We'll start with Thursday Night Football. Opening night.
[00:44:49] Speaker B: Opening night, baby.
[00:44:50] Speaker A: Boys to men.
[00:44:51] Speaker B: That was pretty rough.
[00:44:52] Speaker A: That was pretty bad.
[00:44:53] Speaker B: Like old men to men now.
[00:44:55] Speaker A: Old men to men. Geriatric to geriatric men. Yeah.
[00:45:00] Speaker B: It's a bold move to do the national anthem acapella. It's really bold to do it when you're an aging pop star and your voice is just starting.
[00:45:09] Speaker A: We say this with all due respect.
[00:45:11] Speaker B: They're from Cleveland.
[00:45:12] Speaker D: All due respect, because.
[00:45:13] Speaker B: Yeah, if you Put a track behind it. I don't think it would have been as noticeable, but because it was Acapulco, it was really bad.
[00:45:22] Speaker A: Don't go Acapulco if you can't pull it off.
Sorry. Sorry. Boys to men. Sorry.
[00:45:28] Speaker B: It was rough.
[00:45:28] Speaker A: Also, I've note in the Thursday Night Football game, the Cowboys could really use a generational talent, a defensive end.
[00:45:33] Speaker B: Yeah, the Dolphins looked pretty good, but couldn't stop.
[00:45:35] Speaker A: They'd probably be pretty solid team if they had that, huh? Yeah.
[00:45:39] Speaker B: Speaking of just that game. Real quick, quick. What are we doing with the Tush Push?
Are you guys. I mean, we haven't really talked about this that whole lot show. Because we don't talk. We don't talk Philadelphia very often.
[00:45:49] Speaker A: What do you mean? What are we doing with it?
[00:45:50] Speaker B: I mean, are you guys, like, in favor of outlawing this thing?
[00:45:53] Speaker A: Absolutely not.
[00:45:54] Speaker B: What do we.
[00:45:54] Speaker A: You want to stop it? Stop it.
[00:45:56] Speaker B: You can't stop it.
[00:45:57] Speaker A: Oh, that's your fault.
[00:45:58] Speaker B: I think there's. I think there's like some actual, like, schematic thought process, though, that needs to be brought into this. Because if you look at their alignment, there's. There's good case to.
[00:46:11] Speaker A: You're as soft as the NFL taunting cost.
[00:46:13] Speaker B: There's good.
[00:46:13] Speaker A: You're soft.
[00:46:14] Speaker B: There's good case for outlawing the alignment because if you look at it from an overhead view, the way they're lined up, these guards and even the center really are in the neutral zone, the way that they bunch themselves for that play in particular. So they're at an advantage.
[00:46:27] Speaker A: Then why doesn't every team do it? If it's that good, why doesn't every team do it?
[00:46:31] Speaker B: I mean, that's a great question, but it was. It was up for a vote in.
[00:46:34] Speaker A: The NFL this year, and it got voted down. It almost got outlawed, but it didn't.
[00:46:38] Speaker B: So you guys are. You'd have no problem with the Twitch push.
[00:46:40] Speaker A: Other teams should do it more. If it's that good. If it's that effective, other teams should be doing it.
[00:46:45] Speaker B: Fair enough.
[00:46:45] Speaker D: But I kind of want to see another team do it and.
[00:46:48] Speaker A: But that's the problem. So my thing is. So you're going to. Like, we talk about it all the time. You're going to penalize Philadelphia because they got really good at something. All the other teams are allowed to do it.
[00:46:56] Speaker B: The USBC is trying to outlaw your thing. Bowling balls.
[00:46:59] Speaker A: That's a whole different league.
[00:47:01] Speaker B: What are you talking about?
[00:47:03] Speaker A: Why. Why are we penalizing the Eagle? Like, I don't like The Eagles. Eagles at all. But why are we penalizing them because they got really good at a play.
[00:47:09] Speaker B: I don't know.
[00:47:10] Speaker A: Other teams should do it. If they, if they want to complain about it, they should just do it.
[00:47:13] Speaker B: Just thought it was interesting to talk about.
[00:47:15] Speaker A: Everybody is doing it.
[00:47:16] Speaker B: Fine. Move on.
[00:47:16] Speaker A: Go to the next one. Yeah. Yeah, that's right.
Beat into submission.
[00:47:23] Speaker B: I don't take a lot of Ls willingly, but I don't. I don't care that much about it. I just thought it would be.
[00:47:28] Speaker A: Next up here. Lamar Jackson shoved a fan after the fan shoved DeAndre Hopkins.
[00:47:34] Speaker B: Well, they shoved him.
[00:47:35] Speaker A: No, they. Well, they shoved DeAndre Hopkins first and Lamar Jackson went straight at him and that's when the guy shoved him and then he shoved him back. But yeah, I mean, first of all, like, I'm fully with. I don't. No love for Lamar Jackson. No at all. But I'm fully for the players standing up for themselves. Like, what the hell are you doing as a fan? You think it's okay to. The players are walking by you. You're sitting in the front row. First of all, you for having front row seats. You piece of.
If anybody else wins them or gets them, good on you. But like, this guy's probably super rich and he's sitting in the front row entitled, thinking that he's good.
[00:48:06] Speaker B: He can't go anymore because he's banned indefinitely.
[00:48:09] Speaker A: Yeah, he just like, what are you doing reaching over and pushing players as they're walking by.
[00:48:13] Speaker B: Yeah. I think we've talked about this before just about the NBA because it seems to happen more there because of the proximity of the fans that they will spit or throw something.
[00:48:21] Speaker A: You can't do that decorum. Just handle yourself.
[00:48:24] Speaker B: Or one of these professional athletes just socking one of these guys to put an end to this.
[00:48:28] Speaker D: Be great.
[00:48:28] Speaker A: Well, last time it happened.
Yeah, Malice in the palace was the last time it happened. And it's like everybody was. Was mad at Ron. Our test for that. But like it's coming to. It's coming. It's going to happen again if you guys don't stop.
[00:48:42] Speaker B: It's funny because like you, you think about guys like Lamar Jackson and we think about him as maybe a slightly undersized quarterback, but you forget, still way bigger than the average human on the street. That's 6 foot 2 and 215 pounds of solid muscle.
It would wreck your day if given the opportunity.
[00:48:58] Speaker D: Not to mention DeAndre Hopkins is.
[00:49:00] Speaker B: Well, yeah, he's an even bigger wide receiver. Yeah, yeah.
[00:49:03] Speaker A: Just first of all, what are you doing? And second of all, what are you doing? So, yeah, enough of that. Fans, stop doing it.
We.
[00:49:11] Speaker B: We condone the dong throwing. That's fine.
[00:49:15] Speaker A: That's funny.
[00:49:15] Speaker B: Don't throw dongs at the players.
[00:49:17] Speaker A: Don't throw them at the players. Throw them on the field.
[00:49:19] Speaker B: Throw them on the field.
[00:49:20] Speaker A: That's great.
And then next up here, so many taunting calls. I kind of brought it up a little bit ago when you were being soft. So soft. What is the NFL doing? This is a man's game. Like, what are we doing here?
[00:49:31] Speaker B: The fact that this is a point of emphasis this year and that they're calling it so tightly is just an absolute shame for the game. This is a man's game.
[00:49:38] Speaker A: Good job.
[00:49:38] Speaker B: This is a man's game. A guy should be able to get up after a great play and flex. Yeah, that was the most egregious way. And that was on Sunday. On Thursday night, that first one. Like, what are you doing? And like, it was, you know, all eyes on it right at the beginning of the game. Game. Like, it was a great play.
[00:49:51] Speaker A: What fan is actually watching the game? They're like, I really don't like all of this taunting. Yeah, this taunting is not very nice.
[00:49:57] Speaker D: That man flexed his muscles.
[00:49:59] Speaker A: Son of a.
Yeah. I don't get it. Like, why are. Why are we harping on this?
[00:50:04] Speaker B: That reminds me of some adults. Do you guys see this? Karen. Ball snatcher.
[00:50:08] Speaker A: Yes. Oh, yeah.
We should have included that. Yeah, that was terrible.
[00:50:12] Speaker B: Like, in a long time.
[00:50:13] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:50:14] Speaker B: Like what?
[00:50:14] Speaker A: Did you hear all the details that came out afterwards? It was a kid's birthday. Yeah.
[00:50:18] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:50:19] Speaker A: Just in general.
[00:50:20] Speaker B: He gave the ball to a kid.
[00:50:21] Speaker A: Well, and it's. It's baseball. When there's a ball hit into the stands, until somebody has no rules, there's no rules. It's free for all. And the ball bounced around. It hit her hand and then bounced down like. Like a row or two, and the guy ran over and grabbed it like, that's his ball.
[00:50:36] Speaker B: You're not entitled to anything until you have it in your position.
[00:50:39] Speaker A: It's like whatever happens at the bottom of a pile in the NFL happens.
[00:50:42] Speaker B: Yeah. Like, when is. When did you become entitled to a ball ever in a professional basement?
[00:50:47] Speaker A: Like, honestly, if he.
[00:50:47] Speaker D: Apparently, she's been entitled her whole life.
[00:50:49] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. Like, at the bottom of the piles in the NFL. Like, they grab each other's nuts and twist them. Like, twist his nuts.
[00:50:56] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:50:58] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. I so like for you to complain that he grabbed the ball when it came to him is just absolutely wild. And then to go over there, that was my favorite part of the whole video is when the dad was like, I don't know what's going on. He's just like, what the hell?
[00:51:10] Speaker D: He threw up his Duke.
[00:51:11] Speaker A: He was like, I'm going to punch somebody. And he was like, oh, it's just a Karen.
[00:51:14] Speaker B: Even if there was a scrum for the ball, the point at which man gives the ball to a 10 year old with a baseball glove, it's just over.
[00:51:23] Speaker A: You're trying to take it back. What are you doing?
[00:51:26] Speaker B: Just let the kid have the ball. What are you going to do with that? What are you doing with that ball? What's his name? Harrison Bader.
[00:51:31] Speaker A: Like who.
[00:51:32] Speaker B: Who really cares?
[00:51:33] Speaker A: It's a nobody. It wasn't. It wasn't a record. It wasn't. It wasn't like a big game. It wasn't any. It was literally nothing.
And I liked all the people responding with the. The ball from the MLB Shop at 24.99 for an authentic game ball. Like, here you go, Karen. Like just buy it.
That haircut and those glasses though, you knew it was coming.
[00:51:53] Speaker B: Like, what company is she? She the CEO for?
[00:51:57] Speaker D: I think she's a teacher. I think it's already been established. Like they found her. She. She's a teacher. She works for like a school administrator.
[00:52:02] Speaker B: I saw some mixed reporting on that because they also are identified. Some other lady definitely wasn't me.
It's like the Internet is. Is good to an extent, but you got to be careful because you don't want to ruin someone's life that doesn't deserve it.
[00:52:13] Speaker A: Just make sure you have the right person before that lady does deserve it.
[00:52:16] Speaker B: Because that was the worst thing I.
[00:52:17] Speaker A: You're the worst. When I saw the trash, when I.
[00:52:20] Speaker B: Saw it the very first time, it just was so relatable to me. I guess now as a dad. When he gave the kid the ball and like he gave him the big, like it was heartwarming. He was like, this is going to be a memory for you forever. Gave him a big hug and was happy and, and proud of like, hey, I did a good dad thing.
But the good dad thing, to be honest, like dad of the year. This guy put up with that woman yelling in his face and was just like, you know what? Like this isn't that important.
[00:52:44] Speaker D: Just take it. Get out of my face.
[00:52:45] Speaker A: Yeah, good example on him. And then also on top of the things that the Marlins gave them for being at a Marlins game and all this Stuff happening or whatever.
[00:52:52] Speaker B: Did you see that was a Phillies game?
[00:52:55] Speaker A: It was a. It was a Phillies game, but I'm pretty sure they were in. Yeah, they were in Miami. So the Marlins gave him the. The player came out and signed a bat and all this whatever CEO of Camping World put on Twitter, he said find these people for me because not only am I sending you to the World Series, you get a free rv.
[00:53:12] Speaker B: Yeah, that's.
[00:53:13] Speaker A: Yeah. Dope ass. Yeah. Talk about marketing. Like that's how you. You just give away one of your items for free.
[00:53:19] Speaker B: I'm just still so mad at this woman.
[00:53:21] Speaker A: Yeah, she's the worst.
[00:53:22] Speaker B: She's the worst.
[00:53:23] Speaker A: This was supposed to be a short segment. You wrecked it.
[00:53:25] Speaker D: Sorry.
[00:53:25] Speaker A: So let's speed this up. New Madden came out. Kenny, thoughts on the new Madden?
[00:53:28] Speaker B: I was very disappointed with the new Madden. What we talked about last night, which is a. They did Mason Graham really dirty. So fat. Made him so fat.
Just uncalled for fatness.
You look like a melting.
[00:53:41] Speaker A: Just a blob out there.
[00:53:43] Speaker B: Look like a melting snow cone.
[00:53:44] Speaker A: Oh no, no, that's you.
[00:53:47] Speaker B: But also I was very frustrated with any. If anybody has played the new Madden game. When I got it and got the game installed and finally got into the game, I was forced to go through a mind numbing Madden ultimate team tutorial for a very long time. And I just couldn't get. I couldn't. You can't exit out of it without completing the tutorial which the whole point is for EA Sports to get you to purchase these micro transactions in the game. You can buy packs of cards and all this.
It was just very frustrating because I just wanted to play the game like I'm an adult, I'm a dad, I work, I have kit. Like I don't have a lot of time for video games. I had a couple hours where I was like, I had to myself. And I was like, you know what? I'm gonna dive into the new Madden. And I was stuck doing this mind numbing tutorial for Madden ultimate team that I'm never gonna play and never gonna purchase anything in. But I still to do it anyway. And it really pissed me off.
[00:54:33] Speaker A: That feels bad.
Next up here, which is another one that I'm gonna turn to you for halftime show in Brazil was Kenny's wet dream. Can you tell us about it?
[00:54:44] Speaker B: Okay, I gotta be really honest here.
I was on my way to take a dump at halftime, but I was.
[00:54:50] Speaker A: Every good story starts with a dump.
[00:54:52] Speaker B: But I was like, you know what it is? Opening night for the NFL. Let me just pop over here and just see just if there is something special. Maybe they got a celebrity, whatever, doing the halftime show. Obviously the game is in Braz, Sao Paulo.
[00:55:03] Speaker A: I'm saying that right?
[00:55:04] Speaker B: But. So what I saw was apparently, I think this is a Brazilian pop star named Carla G. Or something.
Just a big booty Brazilian woman.
[00:55:18] Speaker A: You love those.
[00:55:19] Speaker B: Just look, I gotta take you, I guess from. From the start of. Of my romantic interests, the Pink Ranger, Amy Jo Johnson, first love into Britney Spears, who I still love, and then into my adolescence.
[00:55:33] Speaker A: Even with all their craziness, even with.
[00:55:34] Speaker B: All that, I'll take all the crazy. And then.
And then into my adolescence. My first, like, you know, I really found an appreciation for is big, broody Brazilian women. And so when I saw this big, broody Brazilian woman on TV dancing, singing, her breasts were pineapples, and I love pineapples, like one of your favorite fruits. It was just an excellent show. I don't. I didn't understand a single thing she said. I don't care. She should do every halftime show show from here till eternity, the super bowl, every year. Get Carla G. We gotta do the big booty Brazilian princess and all of her friends dancing all around her. It was an awesome show. Like, totally rocked it.
[00:56:11] Speaker A: All right, well, that's the best thing I've seen. Best halftime show ever.
[00:56:15] Speaker B: Ever. Better than for any super bowl halftime show I've ever seen. It. The music was good. I mean, to her, like, she. I'm. She's great. She is also very beautiful. Good enough, but great performer. It was a great show. Lots of great dancing choreography. Like, it was an awesome show, but I just like it. It dwarfed anything the NFL has put on as halftime shows in my entire lifetime.
[00:56:35] Speaker A: It took us 115 episodes to get to your. To really get to your true love of big booty Brazilian women. So I'm glad we finally got here and you're. And it's out in the open now, so. But, Kenny, I think it's time for another interview. In our Browns backer interview series.
[00:56:53] Speaker B: How much money do you make a year before taxes?
Yeah, I'm actually not comfortable answering that. Come on. We're doing the interview now, not you.
[00:57:05] Speaker A: All right, so for this Brownsbackers interview, please help me welcome, hailing from poor decisions in Frederick, Maryland, the president of the Frederick, Maryland Browns backers, Paul.
Paul.
[00:57:21] Speaker E: Doing well. Doing well.
[00:57:22] Speaker A: You don't sound like it.
[00:57:27] Speaker E: I got a kid under 2 years old, so he brings all sorts of stuff back from daycare.
[00:57:30] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, yeah, we. We talk about that frequently on the show. We know, we know.
So now, Paul, tell us a little bit about your chapter.
[00:57:38] Speaker B: Sure.
[00:57:39] Speaker E: Yeah. We're about an hour outside of Baltimore and Washington, D.C. in Frederick, Maryland.
We've been around since 2007.
We got about, I'd say, 40 to 50 members who show up week to week, but we've got, like, a roster of about 100 and 150 people on our mailing list. So we've got a decent, sizable population of Browns fans out here in Western Maryland.
[00:58:02] Speaker A: Awesome. Awesome. No, that's really cool. And are you guys doing any type of charity work out there?
[00:58:09] Speaker E: Yeah, we like to do 50, 50 raffles and pick a charity every month to support.
So I think this month we're planning on supporting the Cleveland Browns Foundation.
In the past, we've done a lot of work with, like, local animal shelters. We like to support local charities around the Cleveland area as well, too.
[00:58:28] Speaker A: Awesome. Yeah. And, I mean, it's a big part of the brownsbackers. I know you guys are always. Everything you guys do. You're part of a huge nonprofit organization, so you're obviously, you know, raising money for. For a good cause and every fun thing that you guys are doing on. On Sunday, so.
[00:58:44] Speaker E: Yeah.
[00:58:45] Speaker A: Yeah. So real quick, before we get to the. The actual Browns, I hear you have a special story from a past Browns Ravens game. Can you kind of tell us this story?
[00:58:57] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:58:57] Speaker E: So, actually, like I mentioned, my son's just under 2, so back in 2013, my wife actually went into labor the night before the Browns Ravens game here in Baltimore.
And we went into the hospital around three in the morning, Sunday morning. And I was just joking around with the nurse. I was like, hey, hey, we need to get this baby out by.
[00:59:21] Speaker A: She just kind of laughed at us.
[00:59:24] Speaker E: And as fate would have it, my son was born exactly at one o' clock on the dot.
Exactly at kickoff.
And as many of you guys know, the Browns ended up coming back in the fourth quarter to win the game. I think we were down two touchdowns and we needed a new song. Him pick six. And I think we missed that extra point after that. So we need a three pointer.
[00:59:51] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:59:51] Speaker E: Dustin Hopkins missed miss extra points. Yeah, man, that's.
We're cursed with those extra points, man.
[00:59:59] Speaker A: Still going. Still going.
[01:00:00] Speaker B: That's awesome. A kickoff baby.
[01:00:02] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:00:03] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:00:03] Speaker E: So we just like to.
[01:00:04] Speaker A: We.
[01:00:04] Speaker E: We like to joke around that our son was born to beat the Ravens. Hopefully that continues this week.
[01:00:09] Speaker A: Yeah. You're. So you're telling me that your son was born you guys are sitting there doing some bonding, and then the fourth quarter rolls around, you're screaming at the TV while the baby's trying to sleep and mom's trying to get some rest, huh?
[01:00:21] Speaker E: No, no, I wish. But we, we were in the recovery room, and I was just getting, like, a ton of text messages from my, my friends and family saying, hey, we might have a shot at this. We might have a shot at this. And it worked out great. So nice. That was a heck of a day for us.
[01:00:39] Speaker A: Well, thank God for your baby.
[01:00:43] Speaker B: I love it. Born to beat the Ravens.
[01:00:45] Speaker A: Yeah. So with that, though, let' about the Ravens game, just two quick questions for you. Who wins this Sunday and what is your score prediction?
[01:00:53] Speaker E: I'm going to go with the Browns, man. I think. I think you're a brave man.
I saw, I was watching the game last night. I think they're going to be a little demoralized after having a heartbreaking loss against the Bills, and I think our kicker gets some redemption. So I'm thinking, let's go 31, 30 browns.
[01:01:16] Speaker B: I mean, I'd love to see it.
[01:01:17] Speaker A: I hope, I hope you're right. I hope you're right. Paul.
[01:01:19] Speaker B: Paul, have you been out to the stadium to see a Browns game there or just any game out in Baltimore.
[01:01:25] Speaker E: Actually went the year we went 0 and 16. So.
[01:01:30] Speaker B: Everybody'S got one of those stories.
[01:01:32] Speaker E: I got, I went up. We were in the nosebleeds and getting heckled by all the Ravens fans on the way up to our seats, all the way at the second to top row.
[01:01:41] Speaker A: Row.
[01:01:41] Speaker E: And yeah, back then, they weren't too worried about us. So they were, they were pretty. They're pretty kind to me.
[01:01:47] Speaker B: That's good.
[01:01:48] Speaker A: That's good. I've. I've heard Ravens fans aren't very nice. So it's good that they were nice to you at that point. It was. It kind of probably felt bad. They probably felt bad. They're like, we can't really. Yeah. Pick on them.
[01:01:58] Speaker B: How is that stadium? Is that still. What is that M and T Bank stadium or did they rename it recently?
[01:02:02] Speaker E: Yeah, I think it's still MT bank, but I could be wrong.
[01:02:05] Speaker B: Is that a pretty strong home field? Like, I've just never been there to actually see what the game day atmosphere is like. I mean, what's. What is game day like? There is a crazy. Is it crazy?
[01:02:13] Speaker E: Yeah, it's pretty raucous. There's lots of bars all around and there's. If you, if you go to a. If you go to the parking lot. There's. It's a pretty long walk to the stadium, so you get caught in the crowds, in the Ravens crowds, and, yeah, it's. It's pretty. Pretty crazy out there.
[01:02:30] Speaker B: Were you. Were you born in the Cleveland area, or have you always been in Maryland?
[01:02:34] Speaker E: I was born actually in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. And then my dad.
[01:02:38] Speaker A: Makes so much sense that you're a Brown fan.
[01:02:42] Speaker E: My dad ended up getting a job out in Mansfield, Ohio, when I was in middle school, so he ended up there.
Took me to my first Browns game, I think, in 2004.
I was still pretty young by then, and then I think I truly became a fan during that 07 season with, like, Derek Anderson and Braylon Edwards and Josh Craig, Joe Thomas.
[01:03:06] Speaker B: So you're a casualty of a career chance.
Yeah, unfortunately, that's how you got looped into the Browns.
[01:03:12] Speaker A: I thought I heard a little bit of that. That a boot in your. In your voice there. So I caught it. I was like, I feel like there's a little bit of an accent there. I see where it comes from now, so.
[01:03:21] Speaker E: But it's been so great to be part of the. The fans, like, fan group, the. The Browns fan group because, you know, everywhere you go around the country, you see somebody with the brown shirt is either instantly your best friend.
[01:03:31] Speaker A: So it is crazy. People outside the Browns just. Just fan fandom as a collection of people, like, they just don't understand. They just don't get it that, yeah, we suck most of the time. But you know what? We really do have the best fans in the world because we just coming back for this team.
[01:03:49] Speaker B: And it's funny the places you run into them. I was just on a cruise in July, and we were in Bahamas, and it's like you just see a random guy with a brown shirt on, you're like, hey, yeah, you know, they commiserate.
[01:04:00] Speaker E: So misery loves company.
[01:04:03] Speaker A: Absolutely. Absolutely. Well, hey, strong score prediction.
I'm excited that you. That there are still people out there with hope for the Browns.
Keep holding down the fort, Paul. We really appreciate it.
[01:04:16] Speaker B: Final question. Oh, are you a big fan of crab cakes?
I am.
[01:04:23] Speaker E: When I moved out to Maryland, it took a while, but now I put Old Bay on everything, and you get bushels of crab. So I've adopted to the Maryland lifestyle.
[01:04:32] Speaker B: Is there a favorite place for you to go get crab cake?
[01:04:36] Speaker E: There's a couple places. There's Dutch's daughter here in Frederick and Maze. They do lots of good crab food.
[01:04:42] Speaker B: There, so add them to the list.
Maryland.
[01:04:45] Speaker A: What do they Do Kenny crab cakes and football.
[01:04:47] Speaker B: That's what Maryland does.
[01:04:51] Speaker A: But again, Paul, thank you so much, and thank you for taking on the role of president of the Brownsbackers chapter. I don't think most people know how hard you guys work, and you guys are volunteers because it's not, you know, nonprofit organization. So you guys, you're doing a lot of hard work and taking time out of your daily lives to. To put on good shows and good, you know, just a good time for everybody at your watch location. So thank you.
[01:05:14] Speaker E: Thank you. Gentlemen, this is the Frederick Maryland Brownsbackers, and you're listening to the Burning River Sportscast. Go Brown.
[01:05:29] Speaker A: Good time talking to Paul from Frederick, Maryland Brownsbackers, huh?
[01:05:35] Speaker B: Yeah. Like Paul. He was a nice guy.
[01:05:37] Speaker A: I like that his son saved the day and gave the Browns a win.
[01:05:42] Speaker B: Baby Josh Cribs.
[01:05:43] Speaker A: Yeah, Baby Josh Cribs helped the Browns beat the Ravens.
[01:05:46] Speaker B: I hate the Ravens.
[01:05:47] Speaker D: Was that. Was that the game where everyone was like, deshawn's back finally.
[01:05:51] Speaker A: It's been zero days.
[01:05:54] Speaker D: That was the game, right?
[01:05:55] Speaker A: Yeah, that was the game.
[01:05:57] Speaker D: Oh, maybe we actually do have something in him.
[01:05:59] Speaker A: And then he found out two days later he was hurt. Yeah, dude.
[01:06:01] Speaker B: For 207 yards.
[01:06:02] Speaker A: Yeah.
Gosh, I hate that guy.
Anyways, not Paul. I love Paul. Nice. Paul's nice. Paul's nice. And I'm gonna say here right now, we talked to Paul, and we are now the official podcast of the Frederick Maryland Brownsbackers. Yeah. So big news breaking. Yeah. Anyways, let's do it. Let's get into it. It's time for the week two preview.
[01:06:30] Speaker B: Oh, week two.
[01:06:31] Speaker A: What an idiot.
[01:06:32] Speaker B: Well, you wrote week one in the outline, so.
[01:06:35] Speaker A: Didn't trip me up.
[01:06:36] Speaker B: Well, trip me up.
Week two preview.
[01:06:48] Speaker A: This week, we have the Baltimore Ravens. The old Browns, if you will.
[01:06:53] Speaker B: The original Browns.
[01:06:55] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:06:56] Speaker B: And they are far superior.
[01:06:59] Speaker A: Wait, we're not there yet.
With the week two preview comes another edition of Kenny's Cliff Notes.
[01:07:06] Speaker B: Oh, boy.
Crab cakes and football. That's what Maryland does.
[01:07:13] Speaker A: And Cliff Notes.
[01:07:14] Speaker B: That's it. I mean, we could end it there. John Harbaugh enters his 18th season at the helm for the Baltimore Ravens. That's the second longest tenure in the NFL.
[01:07:25] Speaker A: Two, Mike Tomlin.
[01:07:26] Speaker B: Mike Tomlin, 19. Very, very good. Good job on trivia today in Kenny's Cliff's notes.
Coming off a tough loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday Night Football.
[01:07:36] Speaker A: What are the chances they're both in the AFC North.
[01:07:38] Speaker B: North.
[01:07:38] Speaker A: And we have to deal with them every damn year. It's the worst Anyways, go on. Sorry.
[01:07:42] Speaker B: Will they even it up this week against the Browns or is it possible this loaded deck starts at 02. Lamar looked fast and was on target in week one coming off of a 2024 campaign where he scored 45 touchdowns and accounted for more than 5,000 yards by himself.
Certainly an early season contender for MVP Derek Henry fresh off a 2000 yard all purpose campaign in 2024. Henry puts the pain in campaign as he started off the 20 with over 160 yards in week one. Zay Flowers, Rashad Bateman and DeAndre Hopkins round out a capable receiving core. Isaiah likely is out a few more weeks. The Browns dodge a bullet there as likely won't play. Mark Andrews will start at tight end. The offensive line is anchored by Pro bowl center likely I get it now, Pro bowl center Tyler Linderbaum and left tackle Ronnie Stanley. But do you really need an offensive line when you have Lamar Jackson and Derek Henry? Does does it matter?
It'll be strength on strength as the Browns defensive line feasted during Week one. Who comes out on top? Well, whoever doesn't come out on bottom, of course. Are you a top or a bottom? I don't. Who knows. Speaking of speaking of filling gaps, the Ravens defense was gassed and could not keep up with the potent Bills offense. Will they catch their breath in Week two? Roquan Smith, Kyle Van Noy, Kyle Hamilton. Hamilton. Hamilton. Hamilton. I can't talk. And Marlon Humphrey will have something to say about that. Who will listen? I don't know. Rookie kicker Tyler Loop and Jordan Stout round out the special teams and boy, is he stout. 63209. That's a healthy punter. Joe Browns Question mark.
[01:09:19] Speaker A: Well, of course, if there's another edition of Kenny's Cliff Notes, that means there's another edition of Ronnie. Jamie, why you say it like that? That's how you say it, Ronnie.
[01:09:45] Speaker B: Jim, matchups that matter was the one.
[01:09:48] Speaker A: All right, so I bet you won't guess how many matchups I have this week.
[01:09:55] Speaker B: It's gotta be at least two.
[01:09:56] Speaker A: It's two.
First of all, the front seven of the Cleveland Browns on defense versus Derrick Henry.
Obviously, Derrick Henry, as you so astutely put it, puts the pain in campaign, but it's always a team effort containing this guy. I will say the Browns, surprisingly, throughout Derrick Henry's career, have been really good at bottling him up.
[01:10:22] Speaker B: Except for joking.
[01:10:23] Speaker A: Okay, that's. We don't.
[01:10:26] Speaker B: He didn't make it.
[01:10:29] Speaker A: He's.
[01:10:30] Speaker D: He's still hurt.
[01:10:31] Speaker B: Sorry.
[01:10:32] Speaker D: I'm not laughing at his injury.
[01:10:37] Speaker B: Ry James is done just the way that he said it R matchups that matter is officially over.
[01:10:43] Speaker A: Why you did J okay so dirty there man.
I mean to I hope he comes.
[01:10:48] Speaker B: Back soon fact that he ended his day.
[01:10:51] Speaker A: Anyways, let's get back to Ronnie Jam's matches.
The Browns have surprisingly been good at bottling up Derrick Henry throughout his career.
This time through we've got a couple rookies that are kind of anchoring the front seven outside of Miles Garrett obviously, but you got Mason Graham and Carson Schwiesinger that are going to have to try and deal with Derrick Henry. So I I think it's a big test for them to see if they can step up and and do anything to contain him because looks like he's on pace for another 2000 yards, maybe 2500. Who knows.
[01:11:25] Speaker D: Every everybody on the Bill's defense just.
[01:11:27] Speaker A: Bounced off of him. Yeah. And in case I don't know if you put the full stat line in there but 18 carries, 169 yards and two touchdowns.
[01:11:34] Speaker B: He looked as fast as I've ever seen.
[01:11:35] Speaker A: I know he he fumbled the ball once and it was a bad fumble. But that dude.
[01:11:39] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:11:40] Speaker A: Was unreal.
[01:11:42] Speaker B: Over under 200 yards for Derek Henry on Sunday.
[01:11:44] Speaker A: Under.
[01:11:45] Speaker D: Under.
[01:11:45] Speaker B: I'm going to go over.
[01:11:48] Speaker A: All purpose or just rushing.
[01:11:50] Speaker B: I go rushing.
[01:11:51] Speaker A: I'm going under.
[01:11:53] Speaker B: That's cuz you're bottom.
[01:11:54] Speaker A: Yeah. Well the Browns the the next matchup that matters invited I'm about is the Browns running backs versus the Ravens front seven. So it's just the opposite side here.
Top or bottom.
[01:12:12] Speaker B: Talk about toots Push.
[01:12:13] Speaker A: Yeah.
What are we doing here Roddy?
[01:12:18] Speaker B: Damn. That's not matter.
[01:12:21] Speaker A: While the Ravens can obviously be exploited in the passing game, they gave up just under 400. Yes. 400 yards to Josh Allen this past week. They were much better against the run. They only gave up 78 yards to Bill's running backs. So I think whoever wins the rushing battle in this game is going to win. And we just talked about how good Derrick Henry is, so probably going to be. No surprises as who I pick in this game.
With all that being said, the Ravens are coming off a loss to the Bills in the final seconds. They're probably pretty pissed off. It was a game they had no business losing.
Their defense I talked about a second ago, their past defense was trash in week one, but the run defense was solid on offense. They have the best rushing attack in the game, bar none.
[01:13:03] Speaker B: Derek Henry.
[01:13:04] Speaker A: Yeah, unreal. And they have a solid passing attack on the Flip side of things, you got the Browns.
They're coming off a disastrous loss to the Bengals, a game that they had no business losing.
But in far different fashion, this felt more inevitable than the Ravens losing their game. So the Browns of the Browns, like you said.
Yeah. And defensively, the Browns did put up a solid effort in that it was against a unit that's supposedly one of the better offensive units in the NFL. NFL.
I think that's still yet to be seen. Their offensive line sucks. So that. That might not actually be the case as the season goes on. And then offensively for the Browns, still not good. Turnovers, no run game. That's not a good combination.
So, I mean, does. Does Quinn, Sean finally play this week? I don't know. That's probably our only hope.
[01:13:55] Speaker B: Can I pull one silver lining out of this? Sure.
Who are you?
[01:14:01] Speaker A: You're the silver lining guy.
[01:14:03] Speaker B: I'm just pulling. There's only one.
[01:14:04] Speaker A: Okay.
[01:14:05] Speaker B: There's only one.
The Raven secondary was gashed for almost 400 yards.
[01:14:09] Speaker A: Gash.
[01:14:13] Speaker B: The Browns do have a quarterback right now that's capable of going putting up those kinds of passing yards.
Does he have the receivers? I don't know.
[01:14:21] Speaker A: Will one of his receivers hand the ball to the other team, though?
[01:14:24] Speaker B: Probably twice.
But Joe Flacco absolutely has that potential to have a game like Josh Allen had and get that secondary gas like were on Sunday night.
[01:14:34] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:14:34] Speaker B: That's the one chance that the Browns do have.
[01:14:37] Speaker A: All right, I'll take it. I. I don't. I don't know if that's enough, but I'll take it.
And so we've done Cliff notes. We've done matchups that matter. It's time for bone man. Skeleton key victory.
[01:14:49] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[01:14:55] Speaker D: Guys, I got nothing new.
We need to turn turnover.
I said it last week. We had 12 total turnovers last year.
[01:15:05] Speaker B: Apple or cherry?
Apple would be preferred. Nice.
[01:15:09] Speaker D: I always prefer apple.
[01:15:10] Speaker B: Blueberry. Who eats a blueberry? Turnover.
[01:15:13] Speaker D: And we didn't get. We didn't get one in this game. So I'm saying it again. We need a turnover. The defense did play great, but, yeah, another a big player we can get some points off of. It would be huge. So I'm going to stick to with that.
[01:15:26] Speaker B: The defense has to score points.
[01:15:28] Speaker A: This is why you come to the burning of a sportscast. We give the same takes over and over and over and over again.
[01:15:35] Speaker D: It's still football. It's still football.
[01:15:37] Speaker A: That's true. We can give the same takes every week. They're probably still relevant.
[01:15:40] Speaker B: Run the ball Pass the ball well. Don't turn it over.
[01:15:43] Speaker A: Simple. End of show.
[01:15:45] Speaker B: Get your blocks, make your tackles.
[01:15:47] Speaker A: Kenny, what's the betting info?
[01:15:48] Speaker D: Good night, Akron.
[01:15:51] Speaker B: The line this week is as an early line, I guess, subject to change, but Ravens, no surprise there.
Minus 12 and a half.
[01:16:02] Speaker A: What?
[01:16:03] Speaker B: Double digits in week two. Whoa.
[01:16:05] Speaker A: Not just double digits. Not like 10 and a half.
[01:16:08] Speaker B: 12 and a half over under 40. 5 and a half.
[01:16:14] Speaker A: 12 and a Half.
[01:16:18] Speaker B: Is that the most disrespectful line this season?
[01:16:21] Speaker A: Like, I understand, I agree that the Browns are probably going to lose. We'll talk about that in a minute. Minute. But 12 and a half, almost every single NFL game. I don't know if people know the statistics. I don't know the exact statistics, so I can't act like I'm smart. But it's literally like, like really high percentage. Like, like 70 something percent plus of NFL games are decided by one score or less.
[01:16:43] Speaker B: Yeah, 12 and a half. Also this disrespectful line coming off of a performance where the Browns were a six point dog at home and kept it to a one point point game.
[01:16:55] Speaker A: Twelve and a half.
[01:16:56] Speaker B: Twelve and a half.
[01:16:57] Speaker A: Good lord. No betting advice, but just, I mean, I'm shocked by this.
Let's do players to watch.
Kenny, we're going to start with you. Did we start with you last week?
[01:17:07] Speaker B: We did start with me last week, Bone.
[01:17:08] Speaker A: We're going to start with you, not start with me.
Who you got?
[01:17:14] Speaker D: Who do I got?
[01:17:15] Speaker A: All right, we'll. We'll start with me.
I'm going to go with Cars and Schwab.
I said it earlier in my matchups that matter. The front seven is going to have their hands full with Derrick Henry and this is the first big test for Carson Schwiesinger as he anchors the linebacking core. And where's the green dot out there? So I want to see how he steps up.
I think you talked about it, Bone, A few weeks ago you said coming into everything, you thought that he was an undersized linebacker. Then he was in an interview and you were like, well, actually this guy's pretty big. Well, now you're facing like the biggest running back in the history of man. So the only one that rivals him much shorter but is probably Peyton Hillis.
That guy was pretty good. Yeah. Yeah.
But yeah. So I just want to see how Carson Schwiesinger can step up and if he can contain Derrick Henry, is he.
[01:18:04] Speaker D: Going to bounce off Henry like the rest of the NFL or is he going to tackle I don't know.
[01:18:08] Speaker A: We got to see if he can contain the guy that puts pain in campaign.
[01:18:12] Speaker B: All I know is the last Browns middle linebacker didn't fare so well.
[01:18:16] Speaker A: Stop.
Stop it.
Bone, who you got?
[01:18:19] Speaker B: You know what? No, Bones, not next. You know what? Because I lied. Bone went first last week and he stole mine. And I'm afraid he's gonna steal again. So I'm going this time.
[01:18:27] Speaker A: Who is it?
[01:18:28] Speaker B: My player to watch this week is Cedric Tillman.
[01:18:31] Speaker D: Nice.
[01:18:32] Speaker B: Five catches, 52 yards and a teddy on Sunday.
Is this the year? Is this. Is it finally happening? Is Cedric Tillman gonna finally step up and be a legitimate wide receiver, too? We've been. We've been waiting.
Is this the year?
[01:18:45] Speaker A: I thought that during the game I was like, this is looking good. And then he had to drop it. I was.
[01:18:48] Speaker B: Does he follow up that performance with another solid.
[01:18:51] Speaker A: Yeah, number two performance. I like it. I like it. Bone, who you got?
[01:18:55] Speaker D: I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say Quin Sean plays.
Is it too early? Is there any news on that? I think he's gonna play.
[01:19:02] Speaker A: I mean. I mean, that would have been mine if I knew he's playing. They haven't announced if he's playing yet or not, but if. If he is playing, I mean, that's. I switch mine to him, too.
[01:19:09] Speaker D: That's gonna be my guy. That's gonna be my guy.
[01:19:11] Speaker B: This is why you listen to the bur.
[01:19:16] Speaker A: Over.
[01:19:16] Speaker D: I would say, why not? You know, quarterbacks come in on two days notice and play for a team of running back and come.
[01:19:22] Speaker A: I think. I think bare minimum, he's got to play like limited snaps, right?
[01:19:26] Speaker B: Sure.
Have they said what the NFL is definitively going to do? No, because I feel like they may not put him out until I. I disagree with that.
[01:19:35] Speaker A: I think they're going to use him as much as they can until he gets to spend.
[01:19:37] Speaker B: And I feel like if word comes out that he's going to play, I feel like the NFL will expand. Tonight they're ruling try to get him to and say we're gonna do three games or whatever.
[01:19:47] Speaker A: That's probably why we haven't heard anything yet.
[01:19:49] Speaker B: Fair.
[01:19:49] Speaker D: I'm gonna go with, he's playing until he's suspended.
[01:19:52] Speaker B: All right?
[01:19:52] Speaker D: And I can't wait to see him play.
[01:19:55] Speaker A: All right, so Quinn, Shawn, it is for. For Bone. And if he doesn't play, then we're watching. Nobody for Bone.
[01:19:59] Speaker B: Yeah, nobody for Bones.
[01:20:00] Speaker D: I'll turn the game off.
[01:20:01] Speaker B: No Bones.
[01:20:02] Speaker A: No Bones about it with that. Let's go ahead and get into get.
[01:20:06] Speaker B: I feel like we should change bone segment to no bones about it from the skeleton key.
No bones about it. Like, kind of rolls off the tongue.
[01:20:14] Speaker A: Like rally jams, matchups that matter about it. But then I got to make a new graphic for him.
[01:20:18] Speaker B: Fair enough. I hate you. So that's fine.
[01:20:20] Speaker A: Yeah, let's go ahead and get into another edition of Gassed Up.
All right, so. So we mentioned last week we're doing Gassed Up a little bit different this year. One topic, we all get gassed up.
[01:20:40] Speaker B: So gassed.
[01:20:40] Speaker A: So here this week, I got something for you guys.
[01:20:42] Speaker B: Oh, boy.
[01:20:43] Speaker A: You ready for this?
[01:20:44] Speaker B: I'm not sure I'm ready.
[01:20:45] Speaker A: Think about this. Your brain, it knows. It knows exactly in your body where every single organ is. Every single. Everything in your body is.
[01:20:58] Speaker B: Okay, can you tell me where every.
[01:21:01] Speaker A: Single organ is in your body?
[01:21:05] Speaker B: This is what you're guessing.
[01:21:06] Speaker A: No.
So your brain is refusing to tell you where the organs are in your body.
Think about that.
[01:21:13] Speaker D: Your brain knows unsubconsciously, but consciously you might not know.
[01:21:18] Speaker A: Right? But now you're. Now you're like, why isn't my brain telling me where everything's at? Wouldn't that be a good thing to know where every single thing is in my body?
[01:21:25] Speaker B: Your brain's really smart, but it won't.
[01:21:29] Speaker A: But it. But it keeps information from you, but.
[01:21:30] Speaker B: Your subconscious isn't there. That smart.
It is kind of a dick move.
[01:21:35] Speaker A: By the right. That's what I was getting with somebody has. I heard somebody talking about this, and I was like, I got to bring this up. Because then they. They followed it up with. They just started with, your brain knows where everything is.
And now you're sitting here asking yourself, well, why isn't my brain telling me where everything is? And it was exactly what I was thinking. So I was pretty pissed off about it. I'm surprised you guys aren't more turned up.
[01:21:58] Speaker D: It just makes me think of, what else is it not telling me?
[01:22:00] Speaker A: Right? That's why I was mad.
Like, what else do I not know?
[01:22:04] Speaker B: What else is it not telling me?
[01:22:06] Speaker A: That. Yeah, right.
[01:22:07] Speaker D: Well, maybe it's hiding some things from us that we just shouldn't know because we'd be scared.
[01:22:11] Speaker B: The simulation.
[01:22:13] Speaker A: Yeah, the simulation.
Aliens.
[01:22:17] Speaker B: What goes through your head when I ask you, what's two plus two?
[01:22:20] Speaker A: Four.
[01:22:21] Speaker B: But what goes through your. Do you do that math in your head? Do you say to yourself, no, because it's just two is four?
[01:22:27] Speaker A: No, because at this point, it's just.
[01:22:28] Speaker B: What if I asked you something more difficult? What If I said 17 plus 2? 31.
[01:22:32] Speaker A: 17 plus 31. I'd add a 1 to 17 and be 18 plus 30 is. Is 48.
[01:22:37] Speaker B: That's what's going through your head.
[01:22:38] Speaker A: That goes through my head?
[01:22:39] Speaker B: In your subconscious. You say it to yourself.
[01:22:41] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:22:42] Speaker B: What if you were born deaf?
[01:22:44] Speaker A: Yeah. How do you touch. This is the same conversation.
[01:22:46] Speaker B: What would you. What would you think?
[01:22:49] Speaker A: I. I guess you just visualize the numbers moving around in your head.
[01:22:53] Speaker B: Yeah. Interesting.
[01:22:54] Speaker D: So you don't have a voice in your head if you're deaf.
[01:22:57] Speaker B: Would you have a voice in your head? You'd never heard a voice.
[01:22:58] Speaker A: How would you know if there was.
[01:22:59] Speaker B: A voice in your head?
[01:23:00] Speaker A: You can't hear it.
[01:23:03] Speaker D: But is a voice in your head audible?
[01:23:06] Speaker A: I don't know. I mean, I feel like I can hear it when I'm talking in my own.
[01:23:09] Speaker B: That's what I'm saying. Like if you do the math problem, 31 plus 17. Like, you think in those words, Right.
[01:23:13] Speaker A: Or am I just visualizing it? But it's coming out. Like, the way I'm able to tell you that's what's happening is it's like an audio thing.
Audible thing.
[01:23:22] Speaker B: The brain's kind of a dick.
[01:23:23] Speaker D: Yeah.
[01:23:24] Speaker A: Yeah, the brain, man. This is why I could brought it up for gassed up. Because it doesn't make any damn sense. Yeah, you got to do some facts on this.
[01:23:31] Speaker B: Brain facts. Yeah, there's a lot of brain facts.
[01:23:33] Speaker A: Yeah, you got to do them.
[01:23:34] Speaker B: There's a lot of. There's a lot of stuff going on in there.
[01:23:36] Speaker A: Short gassed up. But just food for thought here is if you want to. If you want to really start going down a rabbit hole, start thinking about what your brain is not telling you or what it is telling you and how it's telling you.
[01:23:47] Speaker B: What if it's intentionally telling you things to hide other things from you with simulation. Yeah.
Like you're not in a simulation, but you are.
[01:23:55] Speaker D: And it knows because it's always trying to protect you. Right.
You know, I mean, like, don't touch the hot stove. Like you had a nerve ending. It's like, don't touch that. You're going to burn yourself.
[01:24:04] Speaker B: Don't touch.
[01:24:05] Speaker A: A rare swear word from bone.
I like that I have to point it out. Sorry.
[01:24:10] Speaker D: Sorry, mama.
[01:24:12] Speaker A: This is my favorite moment ever.
[01:24:14] Speaker B: I'm burning over sportscast harder than hitting a fastball.
[01:24:16] Speaker A: Yeah.
But. Yeah. So let's all take a quick cleansing break.
[01:24:21] Speaker B: I'm gassed up.
[01:24:24] Speaker A: And it's time for king of the north.
All right, guys, you ready? 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 two years ago, Kenny had a gross of eggs thrown at him by fans in the muni lot before a game in the preseason last year, Kenny had his hair and beard shaved clean off.
Coming up for losing.
[01:24:51] Speaker B: Shut your mouth this time.
[01:24:52] Speaker A: Yeah. Coming up for losing this past season, Kenny is going to get hit a few times by John Hughes. It's like senior hit style. He's just sitting there. He just got to take it.
[01:25:01] Speaker B: I called him a name earlier. Gas him up.
[01:25:03] Speaker A: So, yeah, by the time it's like he's ready to hit you, he's like, I've been waiting to hit this son for weeks.
So it begs the question, are you excited for this, Kenny?
[01:25:16] Speaker B: Why not?
Let's do it, big John.
[01:25:18] Speaker A: And this year, let's dance, big fella.
And this year, the loser will be getting a Brazilian wax.
Once again. Kenny, are you excited?
[01:25:29] Speaker D: So painful.
[01:25:31] Speaker B: But to nut.
[01:25:32] Speaker A: But to nut. That's all he's got to say about it. Well, right now I wonder how John's feeling because he's 0 and 3. He hasn't got a win yet.
[01:25:39] Speaker B: So big old John getting the big old Brazilian, but yeah, big old Brazilian booties.
[01:25:45] Speaker A: You didn't know you asked for this.
Let's go ahead and get into it. First things first, I want to remind everyone that bone is the reigning defending king of the north. Show me your crown, bone.
You should just wear it for this segment every week.
[01:25:58] Speaker B: I can't wait to win because I'm gonna wear it every freaking week.
[01:26:00] Speaker A: You're gonna buy a real crown.
[01:26:01] Speaker B: We all know what you're. I am buying a 24 karat gold jeweled crown.
[01:26:05] Speaker A: I know you are. Second reminder, John Hughes is joining king of the north this year. Yep, that's right. He's part of king of the north. He's going to get a Brazilian wax.
[01:26:13] Speaker B: He's getting the. He's 03 right now.
[01:26:15] Speaker A: As of now, if it ended tomorrow, he's a guy.
And final reminder, Kenny, you're a clown.
[01:26:20] Speaker B: Thank you.
[01:26:20] Speaker A: Let's remind everyone of our current records. After week one, Bone, two and one, me and Kenny, one and two. And big John bringing up the rear dish.
[01:26:29] Speaker B: Push.
[01:26:30] Speaker A: All right, so let's go ahead and get in this week's game. First of all, since Cincinnati will be hosting Jacksonville.
[01:26:36] Speaker B: Kenny, who you got Jaguars are interesting, actually. I feel like they're gonna boom or bust nut all year.
They'll be in some games and they're gonna look great and then other games are gonna remind you that they're the Jaguars.
I do believe Kentucky got off the snide last week against the Browns, a brown team that they really don't match up well against.
And I think they're gonna rebound with a stronger week too. So I'll go Kentucky.
[01:26:58] Speaker A: Kentucky.
That's the bungles. In case anyone hasn't been the bung holes.
John, who you got?
[01:27:05] Speaker F: Got the Bengals beating the Jaguars at home this week. Joe Burrow has a ton of weapons on offense and Jacksonville's defense hasn't shown the ability to stop a top tier quarterback yet. So even with the offensive line injuries they have. I feel like the Bengals quick game will get them through this one.
[01:27:21] Speaker A: Oh, interesting agreeing with Kenny here. I guess it's not that hard you're picking against Jackson.
Yeah, yeah. Go bone who you got.
[01:27:30] Speaker D: Yeah, you'd be a fool to pick Jacksonville. So I picked the Bengals.
[01:27:34] Speaker B: You'd be a fool.
[01:27:35] Speaker A: All right, I'm gonna go ahead and pick Jacksonville. No, I'm just kidding. I'm picking the Bengals as well. I think they're, they're, they're not satisfied with the win they had over the Browns.
Pretty poor showing for them.
Next up we got Pittsburgh playing host to Seattle. Bone who you got?
[01:27:51] Speaker B: Got.
[01:27:53] Speaker D: I'm gonna go with Pittsburgh. Old Aaron Rogers looked pretty good in this home game. So fair. See what we got.
[01:28:01] Speaker A: Yep. Yeah, I agree with you. It's at home they got Mike Tomlin. I'm going Pittsburgh in this one. Pretty evenly matched I would say. But besides that, they got, they got the intangibles.
John, who you got?
[01:28:14] Speaker F: Got the Seahawks stealing one on the road against the Steelers this one week. Pittsburgh offensive line showed cracks in week one and the run game looked non existent.
So the Seahawks defense, especially on the those quick passing downs can shake up Rogers and make them make bad decisions. So I see the Seahawks digging deep down and stealing a win in Pittsburgh this week.
[01:28:37] Speaker A: Oh dang. Going with Seattle on this one.
[01:28:39] Speaker B: So intangible.
[01:28:40] Speaker A: Yeah. So Kenny, you.
[01:28:43] Speaker B: Here's the deal, John. The Seahawks blow Sam Donald remembered he was Sam Donald Darnold. He threw 450 yards. Jackson, Smith and Jig but caught 124 of them. That's not a good enough offense to win in the NFL. Just you guys.
Steelers prove they can still put up points and in a hurry. I'll Go Pittsburgh.
[01:28:59] Speaker A: Nice. This is potentially looking bad for John Hughes. If he loses again, we're bad for us. Yeah, we'll see.
And then finally, the Browns travel to Baltimore to take on the the old Browns.
I'll start here. So, guys, every time I sit down to watch the Browns on Sunday, my wife asks me, what are you doing?
[01:29:21] Speaker B: That's a fair question. It's more fair than you would think.
[01:29:24] Speaker A: And every Sunday, I look her dead in the eyes and I say, I'm kicking my ass. Do you mind?
And I'm sorry to piss in the cornflakes of all you optimistic Browns fans out there, but this Sunday will be no different. Ravens are winning 24. 20. And I'm being very generous with that score.
[01:29:43] Speaker B: 12 and a half.
[01:29:44] Speaker A: Yeah.
John, who you got?
[01:29:47] Speaker F: Guys, I have Browns in Baltimore this week, and unfortunately, I'm rolling with the Ravens.
I got a prediction of 24 to 10.
The Ravens just lost a wild one against Buffalo this past week and this game to get back on track. Game as home. I think Lamar makes enough plays to control the game. And unfortunately, with Cleveland's offense still being a little shaky and being on the road, I see the Ravens pulling away with this one late.
[01:30:15] Speaker A: So John is also taking Baltimore. This is the first time I've ever seen John pick against the Browns.
[01:30:21] Speaker B: John's a homer. To be fair. John's the only one of us that really, truly can be a homer.
[01:30:26] Speaker A: He played for him.
[01:30:27] Speaker B: He played for him.
[01:30:28] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:30:28] Speaker B: Fair.
[01:30:28] Speaker A: Fair. Kenny, who you got?
[01:30:33] Speaker B: So Sunday football was probably one of the best games we're going to see all year. Despite a late collapse there by the Ravens. Deed, there's just too much firepower there. Lamar had like a hundred touchdowns. Derek Henry ran for 200 yards.
That off or that. That defense was just gassed. I think by the end with the Buffalo offense that just can literally put up points at will.
We talked about maybe some gaps in that Raven secondary maybe you could exploit.
Browns just can't keep up on this one. I'm going to go Baltim 3117.
[01:31:03] Speaker A: Oh, you think the 12 and a half is being covered?
[01:31:06] Speaker B: I think it's being covered.
[01:31:08] Speaker A: Not betting advice.
[01:31:09] Speaker B: Not. No. Not betting advice.
[01:31:10] Speaker A: Bone.
[01:31:11] Speaker B: The. The line is the betting advice. And someone else gave it.
[01:31:13] Speaker A: Not us. Bone, take us home.
[01:31:14] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:31:15] Speaker D: Even if we. Even if we somehow bottle up Derek Henry, Lamar always answers.
[01:31:20] Speaker A: Except when he had to poop.
[01:31:22] Speaker D: Yeah, exact.
[01:31:22] Speaker B: But then he came back and answered.
[01:31:24] Speaker D: Answered and won the game. He dumped and always answers. And we just have a hard time Tackling them. So I'm going to go Baltimore 34, 24, not covering.
[01:31:36] Speaker B: There's just no way. Baltimore starts 0 and 2.
[01:31:38] Speaker A: No. Yeah, I'm with you guys. There's just no way. No way. All right. And with that, let me remind everybody to call the burger sports.

[01:33:44] Speaker B: Are you ready for facts for days?
[01:33:45] Speaker A: Is it whale facts?
[01:33:47] Speaker B: It's not whale facts, damn it. I do have a fact, though, that I think you're gonna appreciate. May not be this one I appreciate.
May not be Number one may not be number one.
[01:33:56] Speaker A: I appreciate number two, but I just. I think something about whale facts that gets us going.
[01:34:00] Speaker B: I think you're gonna like number three.
[01:34:01] Speaker A: Would you agree with that? Whale facts.
[01:34:03] Speaker D: Whale facts are my favorite.
[01:34:04] Speaker B: I think you're gonna like number three.
[01:34:05] Speaker A: All right, let's hear it.
[01:34:06] Speaker B: You're gonna like. You're gonna like the way you look.
[01:34:08] Speaker A: Do you guarantee it?
[01:34:09] Speaker B: Menswear warehouse.
[01:34:10] Speaker A: This is not an.
[01:34:12] Speaker B: You know, I wrote this in here, and I. I just realized I don't know how to even pronounce this word.
Give it a try. Humans can smell jasmine.
[01:34:24] Speaker A: How's it spelled?
[01:34:25] Speaker B: G E, O, S M I, N G. Jasmine.
[01:34:30] Speaker A: Say again?
[01:34:31] Speaker B: Jasmine. G E, O, S M I, N.
Not important.
What is important is this. Jasmin is a chemical released by dead robes.
[01:34:47] Speaker A: Say that again.
[01:34:48] Speaker B: It's a chemical released by dead microbes. And it is what gives Petrichor the unique smell. For those not in the know, Petrichor is, you know, I don't know, the smell of rain.
And this is important because humans are 200,000 times more sensitive to petrichor than sharks are to blood.
[01:35:19] Speaker A: So we know when it's raining more than they know when there's blood and water.
[01:35:22] Speaker B: That's right, because humans can smell petrichor at five parts per trillion.
A shark can smell blood in the water at one part per million.
So the reason why, as humans developed this sense for survival, the ability to smell petrichor evolved in humans as it signaled the ability and availability for fresh water, a crucial resource for survival, especially in arid environments. And the smell of rain may also have indicated fertile soil for growing food.
Studies have also shown that the scent can bring a calming effect and reduce stress in humans.
[01:35:58] Speaker D: I love walking outside and be like. Like, I smell rain.
[01:36:02] Speaker B: You always know that smell.
[01:36:03] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, I like to. I really like the smell of rain. But the problem with rain is it usually brings ch.
[01:36:09] Speaker B: Precipitation.
[01:36:10] Speaker A: Well, yeah, it usually brings changes in, like, air pressure.
[01:36:14] Speaker B: Pressure.
[01:36:15] Speaker A: And that gives me migraines. I don't like that.
[01:36:17] Speaker B: That's true. But still a fact nonetheless. Humans, the human nose goes undervalued in terms of mammalian noses. We often think of, like, oh, a dog. Dogs can smell like. We don't think of our own nose as being that powerful. But for certain things, like petrichor, we can really smell it.
[01:36:33] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm surprised I can smell it because I can't smell anything ever.
[01:36:36] Speaker B: I haven't smelled since I had covered.
[01:36:38] Speaker A: So it feels bad. I literally be holding. I'll be holding My son who's in diapers and he'll like he just himself. And I'm like, I can't smell anything. And my wife's like, how do you.
[01:36:46] Speaker B: Not smell this I never got myself.
[01:36:49] Speaker A: I just don't.
[01:36:50] Speaker B: I cannot smell petrichor. So there's that. Number two. This one is for my mom.
[01:36:56] Speaker A: Your mom?
[01:36:58] Speaker B: She always used to blast me for sleeping in on the weekends when I was younger. You can't catch up once it's gone, it's gone.
Well, bullshit.
[01:37:07] Speaker A: Bullshit I say.
[01:37:08] Speaker B: Recently published studies beg to differ.
People who got extra sleep on the weekends had a nearly 20% lower risk of heart disease compared to those those who got the least compensatory sleep. This benefit was particularly pronounced for individuals classified as sleep deprived during the week. Chronic sleep deprivation can trigger inflammation and hormonal imbalances that contribute to the development of plaque in the arteries, increasing heart disease risk.
[01:37:35] Speaker A: See, you were just trying to live longer.
[01:37:37] Speaker B: So don't feel bad about taking a nap on the weekend. You feel like you didn't get enough sleep during the week. You absolutely can make it count and make it up.
[01:37:45] Speaker D: Protect your heart people.
[01:37:47] Speaker B: Despite what mama says.
Mama's wrong again.
[01:37:51] Speaker A: Mama was wrong again.
[01:37:57] Speaker B: All right. Are you excited for number 3?
[01:37:58] Speaker A: I'm excited cuz you've built it up this whole time. If it's not good, I'm probably going to come over there and punch you in the dick.
What is it?
[01:38:06] Speaker B: That's my dick. Punch face.
Number three.
[01:38:10] Speaker A: The shoe bill stork, who doesn't love.
[01:38:13] Speaker B: A good shoe bill is incredibly rare with a towering presence near 5ft tall is found deep in the swamps of central Africa. It is a reminder of our pre you from Africa.
It is a reminder of our prehistoric past. Their razor sharp beaks nearing 10 inches in length to make it the third longest beak in the world. Oh, and it's razor sharp, allowing it to decapitate prey in an instant. The shoebill stork is a solitary predator, often standing motionless for hours before launching into a vicious attack. What's on the menu for the shoebill stork? Lungfish, monitor lizards and crocodiles. Yes, crocodiles. They eat crocodiles for breakfast. Shoebills often bully, fight and kill their siblings when only a few weeks old. And shoebill females always, always lay two eggs. But only one survives as the second egg is simply there as a backup if anything happens to the first one. Once in the clear, it's discarded or eaten. A five foot tall winged predator that decapitates crocodiles and Eats its young. It's probably the most terrifying thing in existence.
