It's time, time for the Burning river sports cast. It was sticky and rainy in Duval in the battle of Clemson. We saw two young men known for being remarkable at their craft go tit for tat in a battle of mediocrity. What's that? Don't say tit around to Shawn. My fault, noted like a Mormon prom, both teams were grinding, but no one was scoring. Despite the underabundance of highlights, the good guys were able to walk away with the win, avoiding the desperation that comes with starting in the zero two hole. Speaking of zero two, Baltimore's bitches appear to be headed to zero five. Not to be outdone, the Kentucky Bengals have also jumped in the overhole in a division currently led by the trailer trash across the river. If the Browns can get their shit together, this year's AFC north is up for grabs. Do they have the fortitude to become champions? We'll break it all down for you. Next on the burning river sportscast.
Bill Bell, check out the spider.
[00:02:09] Speaker C: I was just being an old man. Get off my lawn.
[00:02:11] Speaker A: I will bust my foot off in your John Brown ass.
[00:02:15] Speaker B: Bad job out of you, Keanu Reeves.
If there's one thing that lessens my respect for you, it's standing up. That girl in the replacements. How do you guys feel about being dragged into this?
[00:02:26] Speaker D: We love it. It's a family thing and we meet every week and it's like our whole family has kind of gotten into it, too. And my wife, who was not a football fan before, is now a huge Browns fan and loves football. And her family, they didn't watch football either. Now they come on Sundays.
[00:02:45] Speaker A: He was densely muscled with the neck the size of a quad farts.
[00:02:52] Speaker C: A baby horse was hit on the road, I guess, by my allotment in my neighborhood, which is really weird because there's no farms around.
[00:03:03] Speaker B: Really tiny butt holes.
This air's got a swimming pool.
[00:03:08] Speaker C: Serves other purpose, too. It's got to hold everything.
[00:03:10] Speaker B: Washington is ass dog like. They're so bad.
[00:03:15] Speaker A: Washington's ass dog like dog ass ass.
[00:03:18] Speaker C: Dog ass dog alone in the world a little ass dog.
[00:03:24] Speaker A: Raw reactions. So raw. Just raw dog and I. Reactions all over each other.
[00:03:28] Speaker B: Does this point to, like, crawling out of the primordial oob?
[00:03:32] Speaker A: Ooze oob ooze. The boob in the. Oob in the tube. Yes. This is bananas that are crawling out of the primordial ooze. And then soon or later, a bipedal human popped out and headed with your mom.
[00:03:48] Speaker B: That's what happened.
[00:03:55] Speaker A: Welcome into the burning river, sports guest presented by the fine folks at Tappin Media. I'm Kenny Thunder, and like a really, really old italian restaurant, he smells like a bathroom and is covered in Alfredo sauce. He's red hot. Ronnie jams. Back on the board today, a man who would never touch a trumpet. He just plays one instrument. The trombone, the big bone. Mandy Owen, what's the coolest part of your body?
[00:04:15] Speaker C: Oh, man. Shoot. I got some weird toes.
[00:04:21] Speaker A: Nah, man, it's your hip. I'm hip. I'm weird.
[00:04:24] Speaker C: Okay, that was a joke. He was telling a joke.
[00:04:28] Speaker A: Back to red hot. Where can our listeners find the dopest dope they ever heard on a podcast, as well as the unofficial podcast of Cleveland brownsbackers everywhere?

This is what you look forward to. We got dog of the week division roundup around the NFL hot three. An interview with the Tri Valley brownsbackers, king of the north, gassed up week three preview and oh, so much more. Was there anything else you want to talk about, Kenny? It doesn't matter what you want to talk about. Just know you're rolling. Shut your mouth. Let's get things started with the burning of a new story of the week.
All right, so this week for the Burning river news story of the week, Donald Trump had a confirmed assassination attempt against him. Again, this past week.
Look, I know. I know certain people will be upset just by the mere mention of Donald Trump's name, and we don't get too political on the show. I don't care. Yeah, just. Just a little bit. But I don't care which way you vote. I don't care if there's a d in front of your name, an r in front of your name, or if you're completely independent. I don't give a shit.
[00:06:23] Speaker A: There's a d in your mouth. A d out of your mouth. It's fine.
[00:06:26] Speaker B: Yeah, okay. But, yeah, I just. Why are we trying to shoot people?
[00:06:34] Speaker C: Yeah, it's not good.
[00:06:34] Speaker A: It's not a good idea.
Yeah, look, this looks to be the second confirmed assassination attempt against Donald Trump in the past couple of months.
Still a developing story. So I'm not going to dive into the weeds here. I mean, it seems like they have a suspect in custody. Sounds like he was camped out on the golf course in the bushes for at least about a half a day, waiting for his opportunity. There's some weird things surrounding this whole thing. It's like, how did he know where Donald Trump was going to be? At the time, this was not a scheduled event of any kind. This was kind of a last minute decision for him to play golf. So it was kind of a. There's some weird circumstances surrounding it. Obviously, the Secret Service detail for a candidate is far less than what they would get if they were the sitting president, which has kind of been what they've been talking about, at least to this point, which is that if he were sitting president, that it would be nearly impossible for somebody to get on a golf course in general.
But given the resources and the strain the resources have been under, that the detail is what the detail is in this case. They did their job. They found the barrel of the gun pointing out of the bushes, went in and apprehended the suspect.
But little really is known at this time, really, about motivations or anything else. But I think to Ronnie's point, the whole point of us bringing this up is just to say, stop shooting people goes for presidential candidates, schools, for basically anybody. Just, let's just stop shooting each other.
[00:08:04] Speaker B: Yeah, and like I said, regardless where you fall politically, like, this is not a way to solve a problem. I mean, first of all, if something. Let's just go with this scenario real quick. Let's say it was a democratic operative trying to take out a republican candidate. But if you don't kind of like the first one that galvanizes the entire opposition to rally around that candidate to.
[00:08:30] Speaker A: Just going to get political do even more.
[00:08:32] Speaker B: Anybody that was in the middle at that point is now on that side because they're like, well, this guy.
[00:08:36] Speaker A: Well, yeah, I mean, they kind of lump you in with the other side and say, like, that side wants to use political violence.
[00:08:40] Speaker B: Right.
[00:08:41] Speaker A: And that's not cool. No one wants that.
[00:08:43] Speaker B: Right. So I just, regardless, just, let's stop trying to shoot people.
[00:08:48] Speaker A: Yeah. Just stop shooting each other. That's. That's the good start.
[00:08:51] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:08:52] Speaker A: We have. We have processes in this country for change and elections. And, you know, if you want to get involved in things, run for office, change it from the inside. You know, there's volunteer work you can do. There's things you can do inside your community to help better off, you know, the place that you live shooting each other is not, should be last on your list. In that list.
[00:09:13] Speaker B: Like, it shouldn't even be on your list. It shouldn't even make the list.
[00:09:16] Speaker A: Let's just stop shooting each other.
[00:09:18] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. But one more thing. Before we get to football, before we get to the Browns, let me remind you to call the Burger sports guest hot take hotline.
[00:09:25] Speaker A: Hot take cat live.
[00:09:26] Speaker B: Don't forget to call and leave your hot takes on the hot tag highline. Remember, these are hot takes. We want hot takes. We want hot takes.
[00:09:31] Speaker A: We want hot takes.
I'm not sure people understand that. We want their hot takes.
[00:09:37] Speaker B: We want your hot takes. We want to talk about them.
[00:09:39] Speaker A: We want to hear them. And the thing is, is that we've had this for a while. We've had some people call in, but we need more people to call in.
[00:09:46] Speaker C: Everybody's got an opinion on Deshawn right now. Call in and tell us.
[00:09:49] Speaker A: Yeah, we want to hear it. And then we play you on the show.
[00:09:52] Speaker B: Yeah, we. We don't want just our opinions on the show. We want your opinions on the show.
[00:09:55] Speaker A: It's a good time for everyone.
[00:09:57] Speaker B: That number is 3302-2780-8033-02 27 80 80 33 02-2780-8033-0227 8080 call now. Operators are not standing by. It's an answering machine. Voice over ip, but we will put you on air if your takes good wipe. Yeah.
And so this week, this is where we would typically get into the weekly recap, but we're doing things a little bit differently now.
[00:10:22] Speaker A: Sure are.
[00:10:23] Speaker B: Yeah. So if you're looking for the week two recap, then go back into whichever podcast platform you are listening or watching on and find our live episode from Sunday night. Yeah, that's. You heard that right. We are now doing live shows. For the recaps, we are live on Sunday nights after the games. They'll typically be Sundays at eight. I know this last one was a little bit later. I had to put the baby to bed.
[00:10:45] Speaker A: The dog. Put the dog to bed.
[00:10:47] Speaker B: Put the dog to bed. Put the baby to bed.
But yeah, so we think the reason we started doing this. Right, is because we wanted more of our instant reactions in this. Like, typically the way our show goes, you get a little bit of us, you know, we can digest things and sit on it for a little while before we, you know, Stinker. Yeah. Before we actually talk about it. And I didn't like that. I don't think you guys like that either.
I think this is better because what you get is you get that raw reaction to the game and it's live.
[00:11:18] Speaker A: Anything can happen.
[00:11:19] Speaker B: Anything can happen. You know, like, we're probably. You're definitely getting canceled.
I did. It was an accident, but it came out.
[00:11:26] Speaker A: But yeah, no, to your point, like, because our show comes out on Thursdays, we're generally, by Thursday, pretty much everybody has kind of moved on to the next week. So we wanted to make sure we give you the reaction to the game when it's pertinent, when it's, you know, when it's in front of everybody, everybody's just excited about either the win or loss, you're trying to figure out what's going on, and then we'll let this show then be more of the preview for the upcoming week.
[00:11:50] Speaker B: Absolutely. And so we, you know, as things.
[00:11:52] Speaker A: Evolve, the burning river sports cast continues.
[00:11:54] Speaker B: To evolve and we wanted to get the fans more involved. We think Browns fans are some of the most passionate in the NFL. We're right there with you when we're watching the game on Sundays. And so again, we just. Right after the game, maybe not right after the game, but same day after the game, we're still fresh in our minds and we're thinking about it and we're pissed off or we're real happy on cloud nine, whatever the case may be. We want to jump on, interact with you guys, and then just talk about the game a little bit and what happens.
[00:12:20] Speaker A: So there's a d in your mouth, not in your mouth. It's totally fine.
[00:12:23] Speaker B: Back to this. Yeah, I don't know what to do with that, but we'll still, to your point, we'll have this show every week. So bottom line, a little bit of a change that we think everybody will enjoy.
[00:12:36] Speaker A: Programming note.
[00:12:37] Speaker B: Yeah. And that'll take us to the burning river sportscast dog of the week.
[00:12:44] Speaker A: Doesn't matter, man. 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.
[00:12:58] Speaker B: So for burning river sports cast dog of the week, we changed it up a little bit with this as well. Starting this week, what we wanted to do is we wanted to hear from our listeners, get them involved with our dog of the week segment and see who they thought was the best player of the game. So what we started this week is on our show yesterday. We're recording this one on Monday. On our show Sunday night, we each nominated who we thought should be dog of the week for this last game. And then we turn it over to the fans and on social media. You guys get to vote and decide who is the burning river sports cast dog of the week. So with that, do you want to. We'll start with nominees. Kenny, who was your nominee this week?
[00:13:42] Speaker A: My nominee was Cory Bajorquez. Five punts or three punts inside the 20 and obviously had the critical punt inside the that led to the Alex wright sack and safety, which was, to me, the turning point in the game where it was just. That was. That was. That was the end of the game for. For all intents purposes.
[00:14:02] Speaker B: Bone, who was your nominee?
[00:14:04] Speaker C: I nominated J. Ok. He was just all over the field making big plays.
[00:14:08] Speaker B: Nice.
[00:14:09] Speaker C: Fun to watch.
[00:14:09] Speaker B: Nice. And then for me, it was Dustin Hopkins. He went three of three field goals and I believe one on one extra points. So he had. He had more than half of the team's points this weekend. That was good to see. But we turned it over to the fans, like I said. And this week's burning river sportscast dog of the week is Cory Bajorquez. Bahorquez. Yeah.
[00:14:32] Speaker C: So good choice.
[00:14:34] Speaker B: Kenny, you mentioned five punts, 218 yards, three inside the 21 on the two late in the game that set up the safety. And I know you had something to say about what Bill Belichick said about Corey.
[00:14:45] Speaker A: Yes. If you missed the show, if you missed the live last night, I thought it was also fitting this week that Major Chris showed up as kind of the hero cause on Pat McAfee's show in previous week.
But Jordque came up, Bill Belichick mentioned. Oh, yeah, I know Corey Rowell well. He can really boom it, but basically said he sucks at kicking directionally. So for majoraques, they just put one down. Coffin corner of the two at a critical point in the game was super impressive.
[00:15:13] Speaker B: Suck it, Bill.
[00:15:14] Speaker A: Suck it, Bill.
[00:15:15] Speaker B: Yeah, suck it hard.
[00:15:15] Speaker C: Huge momentum shift.
[00:15:16] Speaker A: I like Bill, but I just. It was just nice to, you know, kind of got. Put it. Put his own foot in his mouth.
[00:15:21] Speaker B: This is where your. This is where your phrase would go right now.
[00:15:24] Speaker A: He had a d in his mouth. Yeah, Bill. Bill Belichick had a d in his mouth. At least a big l in his mouth.
[00:15:30] Speaker B: Big l, yeah. Bad l.
Bad, bad take. But Cory Bjork one more time. Bajoraquez Bhorkwez.
[00:15:38] Speaker A: Bojo.
[00:15:39] Speaker B: Bojo. I'll call him Bojo. Bojo is this week's burning river sports cast. Dog of the week.
[00:15:44] Speaker A: Did you see in the locker room? Was it. I think it was Dustin Hopkins.
[00:15:47] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:15:48] Speaker A: He took a picture of it. Just said, I'm just here to hold this guy's balls.
[00:15:51] Speaker B: Yeah.
Yeah, man. Yeah. I like Dustin Hopkins. Just as awkward as ever. Just like, talking to him, like, oh, do you have to guys know him? He's my friend.
[00:16:01] Speaker A: Yeah, he's the best.
[00:16:02] Speaker B: And then he didn't know what to say after he was like, I hold his balls. He was like, this is a good guy here.
[00:16:07] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:16:08] Speaker B: But now, in other browns news here, David Bell. His hip injury in the game is feared to be season ending, as he will require surgery on a dislocated hip.
[00:16:20] Speaker A: Look, I never root for anybody to get injured, but happy trails.
[00:16:24] Speaker B: Yeah. Rest in peace, Venus flytrap. It was good knowing you. I had high hopes for you when he came in and you never lived up to him.
[00:16:31] Speaker A: This should at least serve as the end now of his career.
[00:16:34] Speaker B: Yes, for sure. I will say this.
I feel a little bit bad just for the fact that he worked real hard and he got cut, but then he got brought back, and he actually had three catches before.
Before he went down with this injury, so.
But it is what it is.
[00:16:50] Speaker A: Good. Three more than I had in the NFL.
[00:16:53] Speaker B: So with that, let's get into the division roundup.
All right, so we'll start with the Bengals here. The Bengals lost to the Chiefs in a close one. Some would argue that the Bengals should have Wondez argue. You're wrong.
[00:17:18] Speaker A: Yeah, I was gonna say, does anybody not think that was pass interference? Look, I get that it was so pass interference, you'd never wanna see PI called on, like, a Hail Mary type play at the end of the game, but you also can't just interfere with.
[00:17:30] Speaker B: The player, like, you can't run into him before the ball gets there.
[00:17:32] Speaker A: Yeah. And it was pretty clear. I mean, they had a really good shot and slow mowed it, and he was there way before the ball. I can't believe the firestorm that has been going on for the last 20 hours.
[00:17:43] Speaker B: Wasn't there something like a false start or something that they called weird or. I like, there's, there was another call.
[00:17:47] Speaker A: That doesn't matter on that particular play. That was PI.
[00:17:50] Speaker B: PI for sure. Bone PI.
[00:17:52] Speaker C: I didn't see it.
[00:17:53] Speaker B: He didn't see it. Yeah.
[00:17:54] Speaker C: Sometimes I'm gonna live in Iraq.
[00:17:56] Speaker B: He's like the refs. He's like the refs. He didn't see it.
[00:17:58] Speaker A: Seeing the evil. Hearing of evil.
[00:18:00] Speaker B: Yeah.
But anyways, we were all right in that. Picking the Bengals to lose to the Chiefs. Next up, Baltimore. They lost to the Raiders. This was actually a shocker. We all got this wrong, but silver lining here, it's been 22 years since a reigning MVP QB has started the following season, zero two. And Lamar Jackson has just done that.
[00:18:19] Speaker A: Another silver lining is the teams that start o two only stand a 6% chance of making the postseason.
[00:18:25] Speaker B: Yeah. I like that.
If you're going by those stats, both the Bengals and Baltimore are now out of it.
[00:18:32] Speaker A: Yes, very true. The good thing, too, about Baltimore at this point is they have Dallas, Buffalo, and Sincy next on their schedule. Like, very easily could be zero five to start the year, and then they're just done.
[00:18:47] Speaker C: That's a tough schedule.
[00:18:48] Speaker B: I hope they lose all of them except for the Cincy game. And Cincy loses all of them and then just beats Baltimore. And then it's like they both.
[00:18:54] Speaker A: Just both one and four to start the season.
[00:18:56] Speaker B: Both ass. Yeah, that's. That's my hope for this whole thing. And then next up, Pittsburgh. They beat the Broncos in Mile High.
Was it Mile High City? Mile high. Mile high. Just mile high.
[00:19:07] Speaker C: Mile High Stadium.
[00:19:10] Speaker B: I was just talking about. This is what they call Denver.
[00:19:12] Speaker A: Yeah, it's the mile highest.
[00:19:14] Speaker B: It beat him in my high stadium. But anyways, I went out on a limb and picked the Broncos here. I thought they would defend home turf. I shouldn't have. I was wrong. You guys were both right. But it was an ugly game. This game was awful. Like we thought our game was ugly. We thought the Browns game with the Jacksonville Jaguars was ugly. This game was awful. Like ass.
[00:19:35] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, I kind of knew it would be.
Broncos just don't have a lot going on in offense right now. I think Bo Nicks eventually will be an okay quarterback, but it's just not yet. I mean, it's too early in the season and he hasn't seen enough defenses and hasn't had a chance to work with Sean Payton enough. That team's just not ready for prime time just yet. They're going to lose a lot of games this year.
[00:19:59] Speaker B: Yeah, I think kind of what we learned on the. And, you know, for Pittsburgh is their offense is in big trouble, but their defense is everything that we thought it would be.
[00:20:08] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, look, let's be, let's be real here. Like, Pittsburgh beat Denver and Atlanta, Atlanta, like, they didn't beat good teams. No, they're 20 because their schedule has placed them there and those are games like a Mike Tomlin coach team is going to find a way to win. Nobody, nobody has stood out and been, like, spectacular to this point. This offense looks really, really bad for the second week in a row. They always feel a good defense.
[00:20:33] Speaker C: Well, they got one touchdown.
[00:20:34] Speaker A: Defense is going to be good. Yeah, I think they have one touchdown. Yeah, they're winning games with like 13 points. Like, they're not. They're not good.
[00:20:40] Speaker B: Well, I know we talked about it. Like, I actually think they'll be just as bad, if not worse, when Russell Wilson comes back. Cause then you lose.
[00:20:45] Speaker A: I don't think they're gonna get any better. I think the offense is gonna stay.
[00:20:48] Speaker B: A tiny bit better in the passing game, but you're gonna get significantly worse in the rushing attack, I would think.
[00:20:54] Speaker A: I don't even know. Like, it's. It's. I think it's scheme, to be honest, because. Because Justin Fields wasn't even that bad in Chicago.
[00:21:01] Speaker B: Well, you think about those two quarterbacks and the quarterbacks they've had for the past 30 years and they just don't play the same game at all.
[00:21:08] Speaker A: I just. Yeah, I don't know what they're doing there, but, like, like DJ Moore was like six in receiving yards last year. Like, you don't get that with a hoarder quarterback that throws for 120 yards a game. Like, I don't know what this offense is that they're running with Justin Fields right now, but it's not a good one. It's not a good fit.
[00:21:23] Speaker B: No.
[00:21:24] Speaker A: And if they run the same offense with. With Russell Wilson, like, it's going to. It's not going to be much better.
[00:21:29] Speaker B: Yeah, but no, somehow they found a way to win. So again, I was wrong on that. You guys are both right. Which takes us to Cleveland. They got the w against the Jaguars in another really sloppy game. I was right on this, and you guys were wrong. You guys both picked Jacksonville. You went against the home, you went against our hometown team, and I don't know what you guys are doing.
[00:21:50] Speaker A: I mean, I can't pick the Browns to win every game.
[00:21:53] Speaker B: Jacksonville feels like one. You should probably pick them to win, though.
[00:21:56] Speaker A: It was on the road. They played terrible in week one.
[00:21:58] Speaker C: Deshawn was so bad.
[00:22:00] Speaker B: If nothing else, I'm disappointed and boned.
[00:22:03] Speaker C: Because Kenny's the never pick him to lose, but Deshawn just gave me zero hope. I was just, like, the least hopeful Browns fan I've ever been in my.
[00:22:10] Speaker B: You turn into Kenny?
[00:22:12] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:22:12] Speaker C: Maybe.
[00:22:13] Speaker A: I don't know.
[00:22:13] Speaker B: Yeah. Kenny's the least hopeful Browns fan of all time.
[00:22:16] Speaker A: I contended not sort of ringing that Jacksonville would have had a better time on that last drive and probably would have beat us because we left the door open for him.
[00:22:23] Speaker B: We'll never know.
[00:22:24] Speaker C: We did.
[00:22:24] Speaker A: We absolutely lost the door open for him, in fact. I mean, we were like, you know, one catch away from losing that game.
[00:22:31] Speaker B: It literally, it felt like when we went, when we threw the pass in that third down, it felt like, like this is, this is how we lose. Like, this is a Browns game.
[00:22:39] Speaker C: Browns, have they really tried to give it away?
[00:22:41] Speaker B: Yeah, they tried their hardest, but we didn't. But we didn't. We won. You guys were wrong.
[00:22:45] Speaker A: You talked like the Browns came out and smacked them. Like, this was like, this was like a 42 six route. Like, I just literally, the ball hit their player in the end zone on the last play of the game.
[00:22:54] Speaker B: No, like I said, if nothing else, I'm just disappointed in bone because he always picks the Browns and he didn't.
[00:23:00] Speaker A: And if it wasn't for that timely safety and Jordan quiz, I mean, it could have been a field goal game that they could have tied up and who knows what happens.
[00:23:08] Speaker B: That's fair. So for the AFC north, though, standings through two weeks, Pittsburgh is on top at two and, oh, Cleveland right behind at one and one, and Cincinnati and Baltimore both in the basement at zero two. And the current king of the north standings, which we'll talk more about later.
I am on tap right now with a really good record of three and five, and then you guys are right behind at two and six. So still, still a close race so far this season.
[00:23:37] Speaker A: I'll say this just about picking AFC north games in general and just games so far this season.
[00:23:42] Speaker B: Nobody knows what's gonna happen.
[00:23:44] Speaker A: My fantasy league has a survivor pool. Yeah, it's done.
[00:23:49] Speaker C: Everybody's done.
[00:23:50] Speaker A: 80% of CB's survivor pools are done.
[00:23:54] Speaker B: That's insane.
[00:23:54] Speaker A: That's the first two weeks of them through two weeks.
[00:23:58] Speaker B: That's crazy. Yeah, but no. So that'll lead us to the hot three in the sky. I'm the gas in the tank gonna turn it up, turn it I'm hot to the touch burning down I'm hot hot to the touch I'm hot to the touch all right, so the hat. Three guys. We got a good one this week, one that was really hard for me to choose, and that is sports movies. So I know there's. There's about a billion sports movies out there.
[00:24:32] Speaker C: There's so many.
[00:24:34] Speaker B: I remember this afternoon, I was just going through, and I'm like, oh, my God. Like, I didn't even know that. Like, I completely forgot about that movie. And then there's that one. And then there's that one. And then there's that one.
[00:24:43] Speaker A: Well, I found it hard because I almost look at, like, there's, like, funny sports movies. Like. Like happy Gilmore.
[00:24:49] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:24:49] Speaker A: And then there's, like, Rudy.
[00:24:51] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:24:51] Speaker A: Like, to me, those are almost two different genres, even though they're both sports movies. So it's like. It's hard to pick, like, which way. Which direction you want to go. Yeah.
[00:24:58] Speaker B: Yeah. It is tough.
[00:25:00] Speaker A: But picking the top three.
[00:25:01] Speaker B: This is top three. This is top three.
[00:25:04] Speaker A: According to the board of burning sports.
[00:25:05] Speaker B: Games, this is a hot three. So who started last week? Do we remember?
[00:25:10] Speaker C: I don't think. I don't think I did.
[00:25:12] Speaker B: All right, we're gonna start with bone, then.
[00:25:13] Speaker C: Oh, all right.
[00:25:14] Speaker A: Excellent.
[00:25:16] Speaker B: Hot three sports movies.
[00:25:16] Speaker C: Maybe I did. All right. So coming in at number three.
Goon. Ooh, hockey movie. Sean William Scott. Hockey enforcer fighting movie. Really funny.
I don't know. Just a good movie. You guys are, like, looking off at something. I'm, like, confused about what's going on.
[00:25:34] Speaker B: Why'd you turn the camera off?
[00:25:35] Speaker A: I didn't. It's right there.
[00:25:42] Speaker B: Goon was number three. So.
[00:25:45] Speaker A: Wait, what was the goon?
[00:25:47] Speaker B: Oh, goon.
[00:25:49] Speaker C: It's a hockey movie. Have you seen it?
[00:25:51] Speaker A: I don't think I've seen that.
[00:25:52] Speaker B: You've never seen Goon?
[00:25:54] Speaker C: It's really good. I think it's really good.
[00:25:56] Speaker B: Watch it. It might be in your hot three.
[00:25:57] Speaker A: Who's in Goon?
[00:25:58] Speaker C: Sean William Scott. You know, Stifler from American Bio.
[00:26:01] Speaker A: Stiffly?
[00:26:01] Speaker B: Yeah, no, that's. That's a fantastic movie. Kenny's an idiot for not watching it, so it's good.
[00:26:05] Speaker C: I mean, I'm not really a big hockey fan, but I like that movie. All right, so number two. Southpaw.
[00:26:10] Speaker B: Southpaw.
[00:26:10] Speaker C: I had to put a boxing movie in here. I love southpaw. Makes me cry every time his daughter, like, yells at him. And it's just a great, great movie.
[00:26:18] Speaker A: I love movies. Make me cry.
[00:26:19] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:26:21] Speaker B: I've only seen that once, and I actually pulls it.
[00:26:23] Speaker C: The heartstrings. Yeah. Especially if you got kids or a daughter.
[00:26:26] Speaker B: Yeah. I'm gonna go watch it again now.
[00:26:28] Speaker C: And then it's on Netflix, I believe, or prime right now.
[00:26:31] Speaker B: I'm in.
[00:26:32] Speaker C: And then number one.
[00:26:34] Speaker A: Do I still get to watch it?
[00:26:35] Speaker B: No, you'll cry.
[00:26:36] Speaker C: You'll still cry.
[00:26:37] Speaker B: Oh, okay. You can watch it.
Hash Girldad.
[00:26:40] Speaker C: Yeah. Number one, by far the best sportsman ever made is remember the Titans.
[00:26:45] Speaker B: Oh, remember the Titans.
[00:26:47] Speaker C: Denzel Mandez, just the boss in that movie. And then.
[00:26:50] Speaker B: Fantastic soundtrack.
[00:26:51] Speaker C: Just the time period. It's a.
I don't think it's. I don't know.
[00:26:55] Speaker A: Civil rights.
[00:26:56] Speaker C: Exactly. And just the unity and then the racial aspect of it and just bringing everybody together. Yeah.
That's how they do it, I thought was fantastic.
[00:27:04] Speaker B: I'm not discounting the bringing everybody together and how great this movie is, but did you know that, like, half the schools in their conference were also integrated, and they didn't put that in the movie?
[00:27:12] Speaker C: Oh, really? I've never looked up the real history of or even if the movie was based off anything, honestly.
[00:27:17] Speaker B: It's just one of those things, like. But, like, you know, artistic liberties. But it made for a great movie.
[00:27:22] Speaker C: Great, feel good movie.
[00:27:23] Speaker A: It was a great movie.
[00:27:24] Speaker B: It was. Yeah. One of my favorites.
[00:27:25] Speaker A: Denzel. There were just some great quotes in that movie, too. Just like Denzel, sunshine, I will bust my foot off, and you're John Brown ass.
[00:27:34] Speaker C: I mean, when he wakes him up and makes him run, you know, through the dark, like in the cemetery and stuff. Cause, you know, back when we were kids, we were playing football growing up. High school, middle school, whatever it was that just gave you chills, you just.
[00:27:44] Speaker B: Related so much more to everything that was happening in that movie.
[00:27:46] Speaker A: You jump off sides, you run a mile, you fumble the ball, you run a mile.
How many feet are in a mile, son? 5280. You're gonna run every one of them.
[00:27:58] Speaker B: I like my favorite line of the whole movie. We blitz on every town. Yeah. Oh, man. Yeah.
[00:28:06] Speaker A: Give up another yard. Yeah.
[00:28:10] Speaker B: Underrated movie. I actually didn't wait when I'm. This is what I'm talking about. When I was looking through mine, it didn't cross. Like, I didn't cross that one till the end of it. And I was like, I should put that in there. But I kind of like my list.
[00:28:20] Speaker A: That was definitely on my list in my top five. Like, I was having a hard time with that one.
[00:28:24] Speaker C: Should I give any honorable mentions?
[00:28:26] Speaker B: Not yet. Not yet. Wait till we see if anyone got you. Good call. Kenny. What's your hot three?
[00:28:31] Speaker A: My hot three?
Let me find it.
[00:28:34] Speaker B: Number three.
[00:28:35] Speaker A: Number three. Number three, obviously, is Rocky four, because it ended the cold war. Any movie that literally ends. If I could change diplomatic, you could change diplomatic affair.
[00:28:49] Speaker B: We all could change.
[00:28:50] Speaker A: Yeah. Ivan Drago, you know, the evil Russian. And just the way that the whole crowd in Russia goes to start chaining rock, USA, America stuff for Rocky. Just my favorite rocky movie of all of them. I mean, let's be honest, Ivan Dragon was the best bad guy in all those movies, too.
[00:29:10] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[00:29:11] Speaker A: If he dies, he dies. Just absolute menace. So, yeah, Rocky IV is my number three. Number two.
Look, I know this one has lost its luster a little bit, given some of the stuff that's come out, but it's blindside.
It's just. Every time it's on tv, I'll watch it. It's just a.
Just a good story. What? Even if you separated the truth from the fiction of it and just said, it's just a movie about a football, like, it holds.
[00:29:42] Speaker B: That's kind of where I'm at. Like, that's what I was saying about. Remember tights? Like, yeah, sure, there's. It's a little bit different, but it's.
[00:29:46] Speaker A: A great movie and.
[00:29:47] Speaker B: Great movie.
[00:29:48] Speaker A: And, like, look, and I'm. And I'm skeptical of the claims of this whole thing. Right. Because, like, a lot of this, I think, has to do with Michael or his financial situation. And, like, it sounds like there was a little sketchy. Little sketchy.
He was for the movie and friends of the twoies before he was against it. You know, like, it wasn't like he was striking against the movie when it was being made and standing outside being like, don't watch this movie. It's not real. Yeah, he was for it and for the book and all that stuff before he was against it. So to me, that's fair. This seems like the claims of. Of any wrongdoing here kind of fall on deaf ears.
[00:30:27] Speaker B: You wanna hear a fun fact about the blind side?
[00:30:30] Speaker A: Sure.
[00:30:32] Speaker B: It's actually, the blindside movie is one of the reasons that my wife knew she was pregnant before we knew she was pregnant is cause we were watching the blind side.
[00:30:42] Speaker A: She'd cry when my wife threw that.
[00:30:44] Speaker B: Kid out of the stadium. Instantly. The first scene where it's even a little bit emotional, where it's showing him on hard times and stuff, she was just bawling her eyes, and she was like, it happened, like, six times throughout the movie. She's like, I don't know what's wrong with me.
[00:30:58] Speaker A: Maybe I'm pregnant. I just watched it the other day, and I was a little teary eyed.
[00:31:01] Speaker B: Yeah. And so by the end of the movie, though, she was like, I think I might be pregnant.
[00:31:06] Speaker A: And the other thing is, like, Sandra Bullock's never looked better.
[00:31:09] Speaker B: Oh, no, it is a good movie for her. Yeah, she looked phenomenal. My wife's telling me that she might be pregnant. And I'm like, Sandra Bullock looks pretty good.
[00:31:16] Speaker A: Phenomenal as a blonde.
And who played was that. Was that Tim McGraw?
[00:31:22] Speaker B: Tim McGraw, yeah.
[00:31:23] Speaker A: It's so funny. Cause if you look at Shaun Twohey in real life, like, he's kind of this stocky fellow. Like, kind of stock.
[00:31:28] Speaker B: Doesn't look anything like Tim McGraw.
[00:31:29] Speaker A: Tim McGraw. Tim McGraw. I mean, look, it's hard to find a fault in a movie that has a guy as handsome as Tim McGraw. And Sandra Bullock is your latest, like, yeah.
[00:31:37] Speaker B: Plus, Tim McGraw is. Honestly, he's in a few movies, and he's underrated as an actor. Cause he has. He's got, like, in most of the movies he's in, he's. He's either. He has a couple serious roles, but he plays quite a few funny characters where it's like the quick one liners, and they're just so good. They're like. And this one was perfect. Cause he was like a dad. So he was just. They're just like, the dumbest lines.
[00:31:55] Speaker A: I also, too, recently, because I just watched it recently, I kind of did some research just on the Tui family, and I don't know how I missed this in the movie, because they did, like, briefly mention it. Like, I was kind of like, they have a lot of money.
[00:32:06] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[00:32:07] Speaker A: And I was kind of. I was always kind of like, they seem, you know, they drive nice cars and they nice house, and I was kind of like, they're like, well to do. I didn't realize they're doing all right. How much money they have?
[00:32:16] Speaker B: A lot.
[00:32:17] Speaker A: They had a lot of money.
[00:32:19] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:32:19] Speaker A: He owned. He owned, like, 114 Taco Bell franchises. Whoa.
[00:32:25] Speaker B: You'd never know it by looking at Tim McGraw.
[00:32:28] Speaker A: And he's the play by play voice of the Memphis Grizzlies for the last 20 years.
[00:32:32] Speaker B: Really?
[00:32:34] Speaker A: Like, they have money, money.
[00:32:35] Speaker B: So not only did they have money, but they were well connected.
[00:32:38] Speaker A: Yeah. So it just, like, never came. Like, I never realized that for the movie. I was always kind of like. And I always kind of wondered, like, what really was their financial deal? Like, she kind of works at home and does, like, decorating, and they never really, like, came out and said, but, like, the next time I watched it, there was some talk about, like, yeah, we get free food from Taco Bell all the time. And I was like, I didn't miss that. Cause they said, like, they own it.
[00:32:58] Speaker B: Well, it is like, a subtle. Like, that. They throw it in there, but it's not.
[00:33:01] Speaker A: Yeah. Like, it wasn't a big part of the movie. But then when I was like, man, they were at 100 fast food restaurants. Like, they had.
[00:33:06] Speaker B: That'll do it.
[00:33:07] Speaker A: Money, money.
[00:33:08] Speaker B: That'll do it.
[00:33:09] Speaker A: So anyway, blocks are number one. Number two, and number one for me is any given Sunday.
[00:33:14] Speaker B: Ooh, nice.
I'll be honest, I completely forgot about this one, but go on.
[00:33:19] Speaker A: The cast in this movie is mind blowing. Pacino, Cameron Duncan Diaz, Dennis Quaid, James Woods, Jamie Foxx, LL Cool J, Charlton Heston, an older Ann Margaret, Aaron Eckhart, Lauren Holly from dumb and dumber, Lloyd Lloyd's love affair in dumb and dumber. Lawrence Taylor, Jim Brown, and a bunch of other, like, NFL celebrities made cameos in this thing. But just an outstanding cast beginning to end. Willie Steven Beamon, that whole. Just Willie Beeman. It was all the things that, like, the NFL kind of, like, runs from, like, the, you know, the cars and the women and the jewelry and the drugs, cocaine, and the absolute violence. The absolute violence of the game. Like, that's what that movie was like. Those guys just were just ready to just tear people apart.
[00:34:07] Speaker B: Well, that's why the NFL wanted no part of it, and they were the sharks.
[00:34:10] Speaker A: Yeah.
And, yeah, it was just such a good. Just such a good mix of all those things. And Pacino gives one of the best. Just, like, speeches in the end of that game about, you know, we fight for every inch. Look at the man next to you and look at the mandev to him, and you gotta fight for those itches together. You know, the whole thing.
[00:34:29] Speaker B: Good Pacino voice. Not bad.
[00:34:31] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, he goes. I mean, he's deep on it. You know, he's like, I lost everything. I made a bunch of bad decisions. But life is a game of inches. Yeah. So just for me, that that kind of brings the whole thing full circle.
[00:34:43] Speaker B: Hell, yes. I love any given Sunday. I'm embarrassed that I forgot about that movie while I was thinking of these, but. So I'll start with my number three here. We're Cleveland fans.
[00:34:53] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:34:54] Speaker B: So I went with major league for number three.
[00:34:56] Speaker A: Smart choice.
[00:34:57] Speaker B: Just. Just one of the funniest, funniest movies in general, but definitely one of the funniest baseball movies ever made.
[00:35:04] Speaker A: Another good cast in that, too.
[00:35:05] Speaker B: Yeah, really good cast.
And. Yeah, I mean, just, I feel like it's so relatable in Cleveland when you're talking about the baseball team, because as much as we talk about how well run that organization is and how they may have some down years, you know, they always seem to be in the thick of things and they make some runs here and there. But it does feel occasionally, when they are having those down years, like, the owner doesn't want to spend any money. It doesn't want to do anything. And so you can really relate to this movie basically from start to finish. Like, the owner comes in and basically, let's tank everything and get rid of the team.
[00:35:40] Speaker C: So you are speaking of the Cleveland Indians, right. In major league Cleveland, you have avoided saying the name. So I just wanted to throw it out there. During that movie.
[00:35:49] Speaker B: During that movie, it was the Indians. Yes, that's right.
[00:35:51] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:35:52] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:35:52] Speaker A: Yes. That's a good point, Bona.
[00:35:54] Speaker B: I mean, I was just using baseball team so I didn't have to go back and forth.
[00:35:58] Speaker A: It's one of the. It's one of the finite reminders in time that, like, as much as they want to kind of, like, whitewash this thing with guardians and pretend like the Indian's name never happened, like, they made a movie about us for that movie, we'll stand the test of time. Yeah, because it's funny.
[00:36:14] Speaker B: It's classic.
[00:36:14] Speaker A: They are the Indians and people are. Wow.
[00:36:17] Speaker B: Who are the Indians?
[00:36:19] Speaker C: I was just being old, man. Get off my lawn.
[00:36:21] Speaker B: I appreciate it. I appreciate. I actually didn't even notice I was doing it. That's why I think it was more of a. I don't want to say Indians, guardians and go back and forth when I'm talking. Whatever. But number two, the replacements, another fantastic soundtrack, too, just all the way through. It was really, really good. Keanu Reeves, we're used to him as an action star now. He plays a lot of John Wick. He does a couple other movies. Matrix. Yeah, like all those things. But people, you know, this is. This is what he was doing. He was doing the replacements.
[00:36:57] Speaker A: Before he got.
[00:36:59] Speaker B: And, you know, I guess he plays more of a serious role in this than most of the rest of the cast, but he still has his one liners in this, and he actually delivers them pretty well. Keanu Reeves. Not the greatest actor. Beloved actor. Not the greatest actor.
But, no, this movie is just funny start to finish, and the idea of replacement players coming in and when the main guys won't cross the picket line to finish the season, it was an awesome story.
[00:37:28] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:37:29] Speaker B: Another feel good movie.
[00:37:30] Speaker C: Yeah, it's a good movie.
[00:37:31] Speaker A: And it had some. I mean, Madden and somerall, I think, were in that to the Cobdale segment. She's like, you had some cameos from.
[00:37:39] Speaker B: Oh, here comes right here.
[00:37:40] Speaker A: Bam.
[00:37:43] Speaker B: And he juggles a football and it goes all over the ground.
[00:37:45] Speaker A: The only thing I didn't like about that movie is towards the end, and, I mean, forgive me for spoilers. The movie's 25 years old.
[00:37:53] Speaker B: If you haven't seen it, you're wrong.
[00:37:55] Speaker A: Is I was always.
When he stands up his love interest in the end of the movie, I was always just like, man, why'd you do that? You know? Like, I knew he was upset. Cause, like, the guy came back and he was not gonna get to play anymore, but it's like, he went to the bar to tell his friends, like, gave them the respect of, like, showing up and being like, I'm not gonna play anymore. And then, like, he's supposed to have dinner with that chick and just totally.
[00:38:17] Speaker B: Blows her off because the main guy that came back told him, she's too good for you.
[00:38:22] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:38:23] Speaker B: You need to just walk away and let it end.
[00:38:24] Speaker A: They had a thing going, though.
[00:38:26] Speaker B: I'm with you, though. I'm with you.
[00:38:27] Speaker A: It was just a mean thing to do.
[00:38:28] Speaker B: Yeah, I agree. Bad job out of you, Keanu Reeves. If there's one thing. If there's one thing that lessens my respect for you, it's standing up that girl in the replacements.
And then finally, number one here, Rocky four. You already said it. For your number three. It's my number one. It ended a cold war. It's the only movie that's ended a war, so it has to be number one. Ivan Drago. All the same things that you said. It was just classic. And I know Rocky one is actually considered by a lot of people one of the greatest sports movies of all time. Like, top three sure launched Sylvester Stallone's career. It started it, did everything. Did it himself when nobody else would fund it. So, you know, that whole story is great, but let's be honest. Rocky four is where the actual story's at and where it's a lot more fun to watch Rocky Four than Rocky one.
[00:39:14] Speaker A: And that's why I think Rocky Four is so much better, actually, is because, like, by the time they had made Rocky four, Sylvester had become a household name. They had money to make that movie. You know, like, when they made Rocky one, the funds were low. There weren't a lot of people that were interested in making that script. And then it caught fire, became this huge sensation. So by the time they got to rocky four, this was a freight train from hell. There was money.
[00:39:37] Speaker B: It's kind of like the burning river sports cast.
[00:39:40] Speaker A: It was just so much more well done, like the finished product, something I.
[00:39:43] Speaker B: Would have never guessed that rocky four is like burning up a sports cast.
[00:39:47] Speaker A: We're basically one of the same.
[00:39:48] Speaker B: Yeah. Freight train from hell.
[00:39:50] Speaker A: We might end the tensions in the middle east. You never know.
[00:39:53] Speaker B: Wow.
[00:39:54] Speaker A: We tried to stop.
[00:39:55] Speaker B: We're just bringing people together.
[00:39:56] Speaker A: We tried to stop an assassination to start the show.
[00:39:58] Speaker B: Yeah. But, yeah. So that's the hot three.
Kenny, you know what I think it's time for?
[00:40:03] Speaker A: I don't know. What time is it?
[00:40:05] Speaker B: I think we're going to do an interview.
[00:40:06] Speaker A: Oh, interviews. I like interviews.
[00:40:07] Speaker B: Yeah. So we started it last year, the Brownsbackers interview series. We're going to keep it going this year. We're going to keep it going forever, probably, as long as we're doing this, but, yeah, I mean, we all know the brownsbackers are die hard fans, but we want to make sure that all of you know just how much they're doing for their respective communities and how much they're raising for charities around the nation and around the world, even so.
[00:40:28] Speaker A: And they're also insightful fans.
[00:40:30] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, absolutely. And so with that, let's go ahead and get into next interview in the series.
[00:40:39] Speaker A: Powered by Riverside FM.
[00:40:48] Speaker B: All right, so for this Brownsbackers interview, please help me welcome a wonderful woman that we were able to meet at the Brownsbackers president's summit in Cleveland this year. We are at PJ McIntyres, the president of the Tri Valley Brownsbackers. Becky joined.
Got more to introduce. Guys. There's more. We're joined by her sons, Austin, who's the vice president of the group as well, and Andy is hanging out with them, too. So how is everybody?
[00:41:15] Speaker E: Good. Austin actually got married, right, like, the week after the summit, so.
[00:41:20] Speaker A: Oh, wow.
[00:41:21] Speaker B: Oh, nice, man.
[00:41:22] Speaker E: Now.
[00:41:22] Speaker B: Thank you.
[00:41:23] Speaker D: It was an intense week.
[00:41:24] Speaker B: Nice.
I bet. So you were here because we didn't. We didn't get to catch up with you, but you were. You were here for that. No.
[00:41:32] Speaker D: Yeah, I was chilling at the hotel room at that point. I think that was pretty late, right?
[00:41:36] Speaker E: Yeah, Andy.
[00:41:37] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah.
[00:41:37] Speaker E: Andy was with me, and then he went with Kevin and.
[00:41:42] Speaker B: Oh, I did see you for a moment, Andy. I was like, this. This guy looks familiar. He was out there with our buddy from the North Jersey Brownsbackers, just hanging out and. Yeah, nice.
So, no.
What was that?
[00:41:57] Speaker D: It was a fun weekend.
[00:41:59] Speaker B: Yeah. I'm sure you guys got into trouble as soon as you left.
[00:42:02] Speaker A: A lot of fun.
[00:42:05] Speaker B: But no. Becky. Guys, tell us a little bit about your club when you were established viewing location, those types of things.
[00:42:13] Speaker E: So we are fairly new. We started in 2019, and we had a good inaugural year, and then Covid hit and 2020, our viewing location did not have the Sunday. Well, most of New York didn't open, so we basically watched from our house. We bought the ticket. Austin was in college, and he got an offer for $99 to get the Sunday ticket for that season. So we just invited all the club members to come to our house, and when it was warm enough, we were out in the garage, and when it wasn't, we sort of packed around in our living room and watched. And after that, our viewing location. The next year, we went back 2021. We went for one game. They couldn't guarantee us that they were going to open every Sunday at one. And we were playing the Chiefs at 425 that first week. So we went there. Yeah, that wasn't pretty. And then this new place was opening, and we. Austin and I went and talked to her. She's like, oh, I would love to have you. So the location is called frogs, and it's right on the Erie Canal in Oneida. And we go there every Sunday, and we fill the place up with 25 to 30 of us most of the time.
[00:43:44] Speaker B: I mean, 25 to 30 is actually very, you know, I know you said it's been a little bit of a slow start, but it's. That's very respectable given all the challenges that Covid threw at us and everything else. I mean, you're talking about viewing locations things. And those bars just all closed down, too.
[00:43:58] Speaker A: I was gonna say. I was telling. She was just giving me bad flashbacks over time.
[00:44:02] Speaker B: Just this closest down, and that closes down.
[00:44:04] Speaker A: What a time to be alive. That was.
[00:44:06] Speaker B: A lot of my family's in the restaurant industry, so there was a lot of just all weird stuff that we had. Any nightmare that you can think of. Nightmare scenario that came with COVID I mean, I've heard extensively about it because of those family members, but I commend you.
[00:44:21] Speaker A: I mean, it's awesome that you were able to kind of keep things moving just by having folks down your house. I mean, what a great idea to try and keep things together.
[00:44:27] Speaker B: Awesome to do that. Yeah. And he brings up a really good point, is, is that it's just we talked to a lot of different brownsbackers groups, and you're probably the first one that we've talked to where they said, well, we had to keep our club going, so we just hosted it at the house. And, I mean, it's, it's just, it's awesome to hear that because that's what it, I mean, that's what it means to be the, the Brownsbackers president. As you say. You got to take it on yourself and say, we're gonna keep this thing going come hell or high water. So, yeah, kudos to you guys. I bet there's. That's tough having 30 people in your house.
[00:45:02] Speaker E: We didn't have that many. We did in the garage we had. Because actually, I know one week we were playing Washington and some of our friends who were Redskins fans at the time came over and watched with us. So that was definitely better to be out in the garage in a bigger, bigger space. But my dad was, he was 90 that year, and he is the reason that we are Browns fans. He grew up in Cleveland and used to jog down to the stadium every Sunday morning and they'd start at West 90th or wherever and run down and pick up their friends all along the way and get in the stadium for a quarter.
And that began his love of the Bronx. And so we thankfully got this club started before he passed away so that he got to be a part of it with us for a while.
[00:46:00] Speaker B: And what an awesome legacy to leave.
That's a great story to start. And then just what it sounds like, a great man. I mean, just the fact that he's a Browns fan, you could tell me nothing else. He's a great man. Great man.
[00:46:13] Speaker A: It's just always funny, you know, as we kind of do our virtual travels around the country to find out how, like, how did you become a Browns fan being, you know, where you are. So. What an awesome story.
[00:46:23] Speaker B: Yeah, that is awesome. And so, I mean, it sounds like now it's multi generational, right? So it started with him, it went to you, and it's now down to the boys here. Sorry, guys.
How do you guys feel about being dragged into this.
[00:46:40] Speaker D: We love it. It's a family thing, and we meet every week, and it's like our whole family has kind of gotten into it, too. And my wife, who is not a football fan before, is now a huge Browns fan and loves football. And her family, they didn't watch football either. Now they come on Sunday, so it's both sides, and it's awesome. So we love it.
[00:47:05] Speaker A: Just keep converting them. Church of the Cleveland Browns.
[00:47:08] Speaker B: Becky, if you ever needed any, you know, proof that you're raising your boys right. There you go. You got it right there. So it's on camera? Yeah, yeah. We now have it recorded, so.
No, but that's fantastic. I mean, all great stories. Awesome that you were able to keep it going and everything. Are you guys. I know a lot of the Brownsbackers groups are involved with a lot of community service. It's kind of a staple of what they do. So what types of community service are you guys into over there?
[00:47:37] Speaker E: Well, we've not gotten too much involvement yet, so I mentioned my dad. My mom actually passed away about a week and a half after the summit. I was their caregivers for the last four years, so I haven't gotten to do as much exterior as I want to.
Growing up. We were at Little League. They helped me when they were little, run the concession stand and all that stuff. So we definitely want to get back involved in more community events. We do a Super bowl square and raise money. There is a place not too far from here, about 15 minutes away, called clear path for veterans, and they actually have a canine program.
And we do the Super bowl square and give half of that to the canine program because with the dogs, actually had a dog last year named Chubbs. So it was sort of fitting, and we had nothing to do with that. So.
So that was. That's our kind of. Our big thing is the veterans. My dad was a korean war vet, and so we want to focus on that. And then going forward, I want to definitely get more involved in some of the local events, and we always give to the Cleveland Browns foundation. Foundation as well.
[00:49:02] Speaker B: Absolutely. No. A couple things before we move on here. First of all, condolences for your mother. That's terrible.
I. You know, I just. I don't know what I do without my mom, so, you know, that cherished.
[00:49:15] Speaker E: Every minute because my mom was almost 92, but it's still a big void not having her here anymore.
[00:49:21] Speaker A: So, yeah, it just sounds like that was a crazy time in your life. I mean, from the president. So much of the White House and then that, too.
[00:49:29] Speaker E: Yeah.
[00:49:29] Speaker A: Everything happened at once.
[00:49:31] Speaker E: It was one week after the next, the summit, the wedding, and she passed away while he was on his honeymoon, actually, so.
[00:49:38] Speaker B: Yeah. Sorry to hear that. But you do. You did mention the Super bowl squares, so I just want to say the fact, I mean, you know, you're saying it like it's, you know, you. I know you want to get more involved and you want to do more, which is fantastic. And I know every, everybody, almost every brownsbackers group that we talked to wants to do more, but kind of just doing that speaks to what all these browns backers collectively can do. And the fact that you guys only have at the moment, it's growing, but at the moment, 25 to 30 members, and you're able to come up with whatever you can just to give to a charity. And it's kind of like minded people coming together to give any little bit that they can to help out. It just kind of speaks to of browns, Browns fans in general, and especially these browns backers groups and what they do.
[00:50:25] Speaker A: Yeah, sure. So it's those individual bricks just laid together. Right. They create that whole foundation. Yeah.
[00:50:30] Speaker E: Some of them, some of the members, some of the other clubs. It's amazing what, like, if you looked at all of it, how much goes to charity? It's.
[00:50:40] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
[00:50:42] Speaker A: Well, that's why it's, you know, collectively, it's, it's. It's the. The group itself is just such an impact to local communities because, sure, there's, there's big groups, but there's also small groups and every little bit matters. And, you know, it's like, it's just awesome that you can get together still and have, you know, groups like, like this that are fan clubs that are, that are also doing good in the community.
[00:51:03] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. And so, no, I mean, and when those, when the Super bowl squares come out, make sure you let us know because we're big fans of Super bowl squares.
Yeah, we'll join in, but let. Go ahead.
[00:51:16] Speaker E: I got both your phone numbers. I'll be texting. You.
[00:51:19] Speaker A: See?
[00:51:20] Speaker B: There you go. There you go.
Any light gambling? I'm in.
[00:51:25] Speaker A: Have you had. So have you had a chance to have, you know, t shirts or hats or any kind of, like, merchandise made yet, or is that something that's on the roadmap?
[00:51:31] Speaker E: We are actually one of the guys that we met at the summit a few years ago. His vice president talked to me. He's a graphic designer, and he has taken my idea, and he is supposed to be getting it on paper for me or on digital for me. And then we plan on having shirts.
[00:51:50] Speaker A: Nice.
[00:51:51] Speaker B: Well, that's another one. Let us know as soon as those come out because we like to collect as many of those as we can and we're behind, but we'd like to catch up, so.
[00:51:59] Speaker A: Well, we know it's revenue for you guys, too, so we try to help out where we can.
[00:52:02] Speaker B: Exactly.
[00:52:02] Speaker E: Thank you.
[00:52:04] Speaker B: And then. So, yeah, let's talk about football a little bit. I mean, that's the, one of the big reasons why we all came together is we're all browns fans, so let's just go ahead and start with the season so far.
You could talk as much as you want about week two and what you thought about that game, but how do you think the Browns have looked all season? I mean, two games, but how do you think they've looked so far?
[00:52:26] Speaker E: Better yesterday.
[00:52:30] Speaker B: That'S for sure.
[00:52:31] Speaker D: I feel like week one was historically bad and week two was much improved. Right. I mean, I think we had one first down in the first half of the first week or something ridiculous like that. So to go from that extreme to seeing a team win a game, I mean, it's a lot more enjoyable when you're around a bunch of people. Week one was pretty miserable.
[00:52:57] Speaker E: A lot of people left early last week.
[00:53:00] Speaker B: Yeah. So, yeah, I would imagine.
[00:53:05] Speaker E: Yesterday was like the cardiac kids of old, but I think, yeah.
[00:53:11] Speaker A: Collective sigh of relief.
[00:53:12] Speaker E: Yeah, I, I have this thing I do. I think the bar stools, I kind of crouch down around one and just sit like this, and I heard somebody behind me say, uh oh, becky's crouching down. It's not good. So.
[00:53:25] Speaker B: Yeah, and to your point, it's just Austin, it's, it's, it's like night and day, week one to week two. I mean, the offense is still a little shaky, but the defense really picked it up. They were putting a lot better positions. Even if the offense wasn't necessarily getting it done, they weren't putting the defense in terrible situations. So it was kind of night and day difference. A lot, a lot easier to watch this week and a lot more fun, for sure, I guess. So the question is, going forward, what kind of team do you think we're going to get?
[00:53:57] Speaker D: I think this is a team that's capable of making the playoffs. It's just a matter of is it all going to gel? I mean, the offensive line, I think, is a big concern.
If the Gantt, if they can't, you know, string games together where everybody's healthy, we're going to be in trouble because the disparity in the penalties probably had something to do with the fact that the O line was really having a hard time. So I don't know. What do you think? I mean, I think it's. It's a team that should make the playoffs if ever. Everything goes according to plan, but.
[00:54:34] Speaker B: Go ahead, Becky.
[00:54:35] Speaker E: I was just gonna say, I was watching a show this morning that I watch. I don't know if you guys want me to say the name of it.
[00:54:43] Speaker B: Or not, but you can say there's room here for equal opportunity.
[00:54:47] Speaker E: It was the ultimate Cleveland sports show I was watching this morning, and they were kind of breaking down the, you know, the line did great in the run game, but the penalties, I think they said like, 55 yards and penalties on some of the runs, and a lot of those penalties had nothing to do with the actual run, like making the run successful.
Yeah, so they definitely.
[00:55:11] Speaker A: A lot of alignment penalties so far.
[00:55:13] Speaker B: Yeah, the line is definitely a big concern, and obviously, I guess you can look at it both ways, so it's a big concern we have. The two starters are still out.
However, I guess the silver lining with it would be the two starters are still out. So when they come back, the hope is that you'll see a lot stronger offensive line play. Less penalties, less, you know, more, more. They're going to open up more lanes for the running game, they're going to open up more lanes for the passing game, and things just will be generally better.
[00:55:45] Speaker A: Well, and despite the fact that we had ten penalties again yesterday in a cobbled together line for over. Yeah.
[00:55:52] Speaker B: 1311 the first week, still went for.
[00:55:54] Speaker A: Over hundred yards rushing as a team. Yeah, I guess, you know, trying to pull silver linings where we can.
[00:55:59] Speaker E: Right?
[00:55:59] Speaker B: Yeah. Right. No, and so you guys are out in New York and obviously we're playing the Giants this week, so are you guys hearing anything about the Giants? I'm not sure. I know. I know New York's, you guys are in kind of upstate New York, if I'm not mistaken. So it's hearing anything.
[00:56:15] Speaker E: We're smack dab in the center of the state.
[00:56:17] Speaker D: We're kind of Bill's territory mostly. It's pretty predominantly bills people here, but.
[00:56:23] Speaker E: There are a lot of giants.
[00:56:25] Speaker D: There's still a lot of Giants fans, but I'd say it's definitely.
[00:56:27] Speaker E: But they don't have much to talk about.
[00:56:29] Speaker D: Yeah, they don't have much to say. I mean, they kind of are in the closet right now, so. But.
[00:56:34] Speaker B: Well, and that kind of answers my question is it was going to be, what are they saying about the Giants? But they're saying nothing. They're saying they're acting like they don't even have a team.
[00:56:42] Speaker A: That's probably the best thing to say.
[00:56:43] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:56:44] Speaker E: You know that meme when the simp, like one of the Simpsons, is kind of going back into the head with Homer?
[00:56:51] Speaker B: Like going into the hedges. Yeah.
[00:56:52] Speaker C: Remember if it was Homer or Bart.
[00:56:54] Speaker B: But, yeah, it comes out with a new. A new t shirt on and it's a Cleveland Browns t shirt.
[00:57:01] Speaker E: Well, I did the Giants because the Giants and the Browns were, like, the only two teams that were on back in the day around here, and he hated the Giants. So I think there's a definite fair.
[00:57:14] Speaker B: We all do. Who doesn't, who doesn't hate Giants?
But, yeah, with that, with them being that bad, I mean, do you guys have any, any predictions as far as the game goes?
Not necessarily scores yet. We'll get to that in just a minute. But do you guys, is there anything that you think we should be looking for where the Browns could really capitalize against the Giants this week?
[00:57:37] Speaker E: Yeah, I think.
[00:57:39] Speaker D: I think a lot of it comes down to Amari Cooper and Jerry Judy on the offense. Cooper's been really non existent from what I've seen. Jerry Judy had a bit of a breakout this week. So I think if we can get him going in that right direction and get the run game going, I don't think the defense will have any trouble unless, you know, penalties, again seem to be the killer. But I think our defense looks good.
I think it's a game that we should win. But I think the issue with, like this week, for example, was there were so many missed opportunities and just stupid mistakes that I think in the NFL, if you make those too often, you can lose games like against teams like the Giants, where you really should win.
[00:58:25] Speaker B: So.
[00:58:25] Speaker A: For sure.
[00:58:26] Speaker B: Yeah, I think that's the main worry on our minds this week as well. So it's not getting beat by a team that you should. Should be easily.
[00:58:36] Speaker A: We have a history of that.
[00:58:37] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:58:39] Speaker E: We were at the jets game. Our club was at the jets game two years ago.
[00:58:42] Speaker B: Oh, God.
[00:58:43] Speaker E: And this one back there, he's like, I said, we missed that extra point. He goes, who cares? I said, you should care as a Browns fan.
[00:58:50] Speaker B: Oh, man, that game. You're bringing back memories.
[00:58:53] Speaker A: Cause Covid, now the jets.
[00:58:55] Speaker B: We went hard on the jets before that game, and I told Robert Sala he can keep all his receipts because there's no chance that they were gonna be beating us and everything looked great. Until it didn't.
[00:59:09] Speaker E: Until it didn't.
[00:59:10] Speaker D: It's hard to be mad at Gary Wilson.
It's hard to be mad at Garrett Wilson for that.
[00:59:15] Speaker B: But he torched.
Yeah, he did. But no. So score predictions for this game now we'll get to it.
I'm going to let all three of you give a score prediction for this.
[00:59:28] Speaker E: That's my least favorite.
[00:59:29] Speaker B: And you can't back out. We've had way too many of these brownsbackers presidents back out and be like, I don't give score prediction. We aren't dealing with that. You got to give a score prediction.
[00:59:37] Speaker D: So I'm going to say 24 to ten. I think the Browns will win and I don't think the Giants can do much on offense, so it's going to be probably a slow moving game, but the Browns will pull away in the end.
[00:59:53] Speaker B: That's strong. That's strong.
[00:59:55] Speaker A: I like it.
[00:59:55] Speaker D: Yeah, Andy, I'm going to go 27 to twelve. The way the Giants can't kick extra points. So.
[01:00:05] Speaker B: You have a missing two of them.
[01:00:06] Speaker D: Yeah, I'm gonna have him going.
[01:00:07] Speaker A: Two touchdowns.
[01:00:09] Speaker E: Kicker got hurt yesterday. They scored two touchdowns and went for two both times. We think their kicker must have got hurt.
[01:00:14] Speaker B: Yeah, I don't know.
[01:00:16] Speaker D: We weren't really watching it.
[01:00:17] Speaker E: It was on the other tv and.
[01:00:19] Speaker D: Then they had a weird score.
[01:00:22] Speaker A: He was actually injured going into the game and then he re aggravated it and yes, they were in a bad way.
[01:00:29] Speaker D: So hopefully that continues.
[01:00:30] Speaker B: Becky, what about you?
[01:00:33] Speaker E: Um, I'm gonna say.
[01:00:41] Speaker D: Man, it's not.
[01:00:42] Speaker E: Like 28 to six, Cleveland.
[01:00:45] Speaker A: I don't know.
[01:00:45] Speaker B: Whoa.
You think it's gonna. We're gonna be off to the races from the get go. It sounds like.
[01:00:54] Speaker A: I like that.
[01:00:55] Speaker E: Well, I'm just hoping that maybe we get. Get some. Daniel Jones is a little skittish. Maybe we get some pick six here or there.
[01:01:03] Speaker B: Awesome. I was going to say some defensive touchdowns. I like that.
[01:01:07] Speaker A: That area. The offense comes together, you know?
[01:01:09] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:01:09] Speaker A: See a good offense this year.
[01:01:11] Speaker B: Yeah. It would be nice to hold on.
[01:01:15] Speaker E: To the football when it's in their hands, though, right?
[01:01:18] Speaker A: Yeah, that'd be a good start.
[01:01:22] Speaker B: Well, listen, guys, we're going to wrap this up, but we do really appreciate you being on. I hope, you know, I hope everyone is starting to see, as we continue to do these interviews, just how much you guys, how much good you guys are doing, whether your club is big, small, just getting started, been around for years. It doesn't matter. All of you guys are really doing great things for your communities, great things to raise money for the different foundations that you work for, whether it be in your community or not. I know a lot of it, at least a portion of it always goes back to the Cleveland Browns foundation. So that comes back to Cleveland.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much for all you do and all you continue to do for all of these great organizations.

[01:04:19] Speaker B: Yeah. All inclusive tailgate party at daylight beach club. And then the dog pound takes over Allegiance Stadium. So again, going to be awesome. It's sold out. If you didn't get your tickets, you were wrong. You should have.
[01:04:29] Speaker A: So wrong.
[01:04:29] Speaker C: Too late.
[01:04:30] Speaker B: Whoever's going, let us know, please, because we are jealous that we are not heading to Vegas. But, you know, we can't just leave our wives and children every week to go with true fan travel.
[01:04:40] Speaker A: And I could.
[01:04:41] Speaker B: Well, yeah, you're a deadbeat, so.
But no. The New Orleans trip is the one we're going on later on this year when they take on the New Orleans Saints in New Orleans. This event includes an optional round trip private charter flight, a three night stay at Renaissance New Orleans pear Marquette French Quarter welcome party. That's an all inclusive cruise down the Mississippi river with the dog pound, a Q and a with Kevin Mack. I'm sure he's going to be signing some autographs as well. Pep rally the night before. All inclusive tailgate the day of tickets to the game, of course. And the dog pound will be taken over the superdome. In case anyone doesn't know, the Superdome is where the Super bowl is this week. Or this week. It's this week. It's this week. It's over already. It's where it is this year. So pretty cool to see where the Super bowl is going to be played. The season is going to be played there, but yeah. And then finally, on site trip coordinators to handle any questions or issues that may arise. Rise. So, Kenny, you excited?
[01:05:35] Speaker A: I am excited.
I'm a little more nervous now than.
[01:05:40] Speaker B: I was because New Orleans also beat the shit out of everybody.
[01:05:43] Speaker A: New Orleans averaging 40 points again.
[01:05:46] Speaker C: Why are they so good?
[01:05:47] Speaker A: That's not good at all.
[01:05:48] Speaker C: No, but I still like the number one QB in the NFL right now.
[01:05:52] Speaker B: That can't last, can it?
[01:05:53] Speaker A: No. Well, the thing was, is like, he was. He threw for something stupid, like, 230 yards on like eleven attempts yesterday. Like on Sunday, like.
And the game was already.
[01:06:03] Speaker B: Every single pass he threw was a bomb.
[01:06:05] Speaker A: Yeah. And they were. They were already up like 30 to ten. So, like, I don't know what's going on there. What's in the water in New Orleans? Maybe we can get some.
I'm super excited about, you know, just the travel prospects of it. Getting to see a superdome, getting some beignets and some crawl.
[01:06:18] Speaker B: Dad.
[01:06:20] Speaker A: It's gonna be a hell of a time.
[01:06:21] Speaker B: Jumbo jambalaya.
[01:06:22] Speaker A: If you haven't signed up yet, just.
[01:06:24] Speaker B: Start saying Cajun food.
[01:06:28] Speaker A: Shrimp scamp.
Shrimp.
[01:06:30] Speaker B: Shrimp.
[01:06:30] Speaker A: Shrimp.
[01:06:31] Speaker C: I'm excited for the tailgate before the game.
[01:06:34] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[01:06:34] Speaker C: It's gonna be all inclusive. Tailgate. Yeah, whatever that means. It sounds good.
[01:06:37] Speaker B: All you can drink. All you can drink.
[01:06:39] Speaker C: I'm guessing there's food as well.
[01:06:40] Speaker B: Yeah, there's food, too.
[01:06:41] Speaker A: I can't wait.
[01:06:42] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. Bone's gonna drink us under a table. You know that, right?
[01:06:45] Speaker A: Just New Orleans with the bros. Yeah.
[01:06:47] Speaker B: Hell yes. It's gonna be late. Get your tickets. Not that many left, so make sure you get them now and join us in New Orleans.
But that'll take us to the week three preview brought to you by true fans travel.
I'm untouchable.
All right, so this week for the Browns, we have the New York Giants. Kenny, I'm gonna start with you.
[01:07:29] Speaker A: Oh, boy. Is it time for Cliff notes?
[01:07:30] Speaker B: It's time for the Cliff notes.
[01:07:31] Speaker A: Okay.
[01:07:32] Speaker B: It's time for Kenny's Cliff notes.
[01:07:33] Speaker A: Time for Kenny's Cliff notes. Great. Just right on time. My note stopped working.
This is the dumbest feature.
[01:07:42] Speaker B: Click to a different one and then click back in that one.
[01:07:44] Speaker A: It's fine now. I fixed it.
[01:07:46] Speaker B: Have you tried restarting?
[01:07:48] Speaker A: No. Anyways, Cliff's notes. All right, we have the New York football giants coming to town. That is complete with ex Browns offensive coordinator Brian Dayball and his 1621 and one overall record as head coach. When asked about his job status Sunday, he replied that his focus is on the team.
[01:08:09] Speaker B: That's because he knows he's going to get fired. That's what they say when they know they're going to get fired.
[01:08:12] Speaker A: He's not doing a great job. They have a first year defensive coordinator and special teams coordinator, third year offensive coordinated their helm. Look, this team, they aren't great. They're their own two quarterback room, basically, you know, with Daniel Jones and two guys that look like Daniel Jones. So I like to say Daniel Jones and two lesser versions of Daniel Jones in Drew Locke and Tommy DeVito.
Running back room featuring none other than the all star Devin singletary, obviously. Wide receiver room. They have a first pick in Malik neighbors from LSU and a really capable slot guy in one, Dale Robinson, who have pretty much accounted for like 98% of their offense this season through both games. On defense, they've got a couple players here that fronts, led by news nose tackle Dexter Lawrence, former first round pick and pro Bowler, tipping the scales at an athletic 340 at linebacker, the Oregon product and former fifth overall pick Kayvon Thibodeau Doe and Deontay Banks at corner, who was a first round pick a year ago. So they've got a couple of guys, you know, that have some pedigree there. Leading tackler so far this year is nickel man and 2019 state champion triple jumper with a jump winning jump of 49ft, four inches. Andrew Phillips and linebacker Micah McFadden.
[01:09:42] Speaker B: Deep dive. I thought it was Cliff notes. You're going way back.
[01:09:45] Speaker A: It was touted during the draft as a day three talent, but that he was densely muscled with the neck the size of a quad.
So that's good. I guess that does for you.
So teams coming off a loss of.
[01:10:01] Speaker B: The commanders scariest environment imaginable, that's all you had to say.
[01:10:04] Speaker A: Coming off a loss against the Commanders in a game they thought they should have won.
Jamie Gillen former Brown and rugby player the scottish hammer we know he can boom it there as far as the special teamers go, but there is a question about their kicker. Was the point of some controversy last week in Graham Gnau as he had a groin injury coming in? Brian Dable knew this and for one reason or another did not bring up a secondary kicker from the practice squad said Canoe can just kick through it, reaggravated the injury early on, was unable to kick. They ended up going for two, missing both of them and lost the game.
[01:10:39] Speaker B: That feels bad. So these are the kind of things that get you fired? Yes, yes. Like you don't have the wherewithal to have a kicker on your team.
[01:10:48] Speaker A: That's kind of what led to the question about job status on Sunday was.
[01:10:52] Speaker B: It seems like he's reached the point of fuck it.
[01:10:57] Speaker A: Look, I just never like what are you, silly?
[01:10:59] Speaker B: I'm still going to send it.
[01:11:01] Speaker A: I never understood how a guy, and look, I know he's had a bunch of jobs since then, but this guy was an offensive coordinator in Cleveland under Eric Mangini and he led the Browns to 32 ranked offense in the league. So like, I don't understand how guru, guru getting head coaching, offensive guru in the league. Obviously they had the one good year when his in his first year when they surprisingly made the playoffs. I think there were nine and seven that year before they went to the 18 games, 18 week schedule and flamed out after that. And they were six and eleven last year. So they have some, some ground to make up if they're going to make good on this season already.
[01:11:40] Speaker B: Absolutely. So some matchups that matter here. I have. I know that it's not typically like a head to head matchup. But I have Miles Garrett versus Daniel Jones.
The reason I put this in there and the fact, first of all, the fact that I even wrote this in my show notes gets me excited like I'm quarter Chubb right now, maybe even three quarter shove, depending on which angle you're looking at. You know what I'm saying?
[01:12:05] Speaker A: Microscope.
[01:12:06] Speaker B: Yeah. But Miles Garrett has a sack in each of the first two games.
I think he continues that streak in this one. Daniel Jones is just. He looks like a deer in headlights half the time out there. I know he has a little bit of mobility and get out of the pocket and run a little bit, but that's if he doesn't look like a deer in headlights. And so far this season, it's not been pretty. So. And just in case we're keeping track, Miles Garrett, if you get a sack a game every game, that's 17 sacks in the season. Yeah, you had a pretty good season.
[01:12:33] Speaker A: That's what he's averaging right now.
[01:12:35] Speaker B: That's pretty good. So.
[01:12:36] Speaker A: And you know that he's gonna feast on one of these guys, on one of these bad teams that we play eventually.
[01:12:40] Speaker B: Every year, he has a game where he has like, three or 4 seconds.
[01:12:43] Speaker A: He'S gonna take control of the game himself. And.
[01:12:46] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm hoping for that, but. And then my next one is the brown secondary versus Daniel Jones. There's a theme here. I think Daniel Jones is ass is what I'm trying to say.
[01:12:55] Speaker A: Fair enough.
[01:12:56] Speaker B: And so I think that the secondary has room to play really aggressively.
The dude's gonna mistakes, and they just need to make him pay for those mistakes. I know we've been very close a couple times already this season as far as picks. Denzel's been close. I think it was. Newsom was close. I think Martin Emerson was close in the first game. So one of these has to actually happen, and I think this week is a good week to do it against a quarterback that is just not good.
[01:13:21] Speaker A: Yeah, he's not good.
You did mention he does have some athletic abilities. So this guy can run, but that's where JLK comes. But that's provided he can break contained to begin with, so. And I think that this defensive front is going to smother him all afternoon.
I think the biggest thing for the Browns in this matchup is they have to limit the blown play. Right. The Brian Thomas.
[01:13:45] Speaker B: Seems like we have one every Brian.
[01:13:47] Speaker A: Thomas last week that went for whatever 60 yards that was. I don't know if he scored or if he's come down.
[01:13:52] Speaker B: He didn't score. He got down to like the one or two.
[01:13:53] Speaker A: And even the week progress. The Cowboys, there were a number the.
[01:13:56] Speaker B: Very first, the opening drive. Just complete blown coverage. Yeah, I mean, Juan Thornhill looking for safety help.
[01:14:04] Speaker A: Looking for the safety help.
[01:14:05] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:14:06] Speaker A: So that to me is the biggest key in this one because I think if you do that and you don't give a give away points, I think there's no way this offense can keep up with whatever mediocre offense you can muster.
But like I said, they do have Malik neighbors who seem. He had ten catches last week, 127 yards. So this dude can play.
But if they can keep him wrapped up all day and contain Daniel Jones rushing, you know, running the ball, this, this is a game the Browns should win.
[01:14:34] Speaker B: And so as a team, the Giants are owen two coming off a bad loss to a bad team in Washington. They're going to try and get their first win, but the Browns are coming in off of be it a sloppy win. They're coming in off a win against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Sloppy on offense. It actually was a pretty good game on defense for them. I think that's a building block going forward and can get the defense kind of, you know, off to the races. Will I keep the momentum going, get another win against an inferior team? We will see. I'd like to hope so. But next up, real quick here, Kenny, you got betting info for us?
[01:15:09] Speaker A: Browns are currently a six and a half point favorite with the over under set at 38 and a half.
[01:15:16] Speaker B: Nice. So you taking, what are you, who are you taking there? Over. Under. Taking over.
[01:15:21] Speaker A: I'm going to go. I'm gonna go over on this, actually.
[01:15:25] Speaker B: You said it was 36.
[01:15:27] Speaker A: 38 and a half.
[01:15:27] Speaker B: 38 and a half.
[01:15:28] Speaker A: So it just seems low for an NFL game to me. I don't know.
[01:15:34] Speaker B: Bone over under.
Oh, defensive battle. I'm gonna go over as well. I think the Browns are gonna come close by themselves, but I don't bet.
[01:15:47] Speaker A: Give you two to one odds by the end of the day, you're on.
[01:15:51] Speaker B: And then next up, players to watch. Guys, we have the injury report in here, but is there really anything on the injury report at this point besides David Bell that we already.
[01:16:09] Speaker A: The injury report that is important right now is the fact that Graham canoe is probably out for a few weeks due to the hamstrings string injury.
They've got a couple other guys on IR. Darius, linebacker, Darius Muassau, corner, Nick McLeod. These are all guys on injury reserve, so they're going to be out in a few weeks, at least. Linebacker Deontay Johnson, center Austin Schlotman.
The only other one that really is of significance here is Gunnar Olzewski, who served as their primary punt. And I kick returner looks like he's got a groin that's going to keep him out a couple of weeks.
[01:16:52] Speaker B: Gotcha. So. So nothing crazy. Nothing. Nothing really surprising there. Besides, you know, they don't have a kicker.
Hopefully they sign one this week. I mean, I hope they don't, but I missed something here. As you talked about betting info, what's the over under that Brian dayball gets fired after he loses?
[01:17:13] Speaker A: I think it's early in the season for coach firings, but we'll see.
[01:17:16] Speaker B: Come on. Zero three. Your team's ass. Daniel Jones sucks.
[01:17:22] Speaker A: I mean, he does suck, and they are ass real quick, too.
On the brown side of things, Pierre strongest questionable.
He does have a hamstring injury, according to coach Stefanski today, and David and Joku has not yet been ruled out to play in week three versus the Giants.
[01:17:46] Speaker B: It's a high ankle sprain. I don't. Don't, don't tempt it. Just let it heal.
[01:17:50] Speaker A: I'm just saying that's what the injury.
[01:17:52] Speaker B: I mean, I understand. I'm talking to him. Don't tempt it.
[01:17:55] Speaker A: And then as of today, Jed and Jack Conklin still both listed as out.
[01:17:59] Speaker B: Great. Great. I think that'll change that. Probably hasn't been updated yet.
[01:18:03] Speaker A: It's early in the week.
[01:18:05] Speaker B: Yeah, so. But next up here, players to watch. I'm going to go ahead and start this this week. My player to watch this week is Denzel Ward.
You kind of mentioned it. Their only weapon on offense is league neighbors. Denzel Ward will most likely be locked up with them for a good portion of the afternoon, I think, as long as he shuts them down. And, you know, Martin Emerson obviously knew some as well, are both going to hold their own against him when, you know, there's different switches or whatever the case may be.
But I think it's going to be Denzel Ward's top responsibility for this game, and as long as he can keep him contained, which shouldn't be that difficult with Daniel Jones throwing you the ball, they're gonna have a long day on offense. New York is so, Kenny, who you.
[01:18:47] Speaker A: Got my player to watch is Amara Cooper. After a disappointing first two weeks, this is your number one receiver in Cleveland. He's got to get it together.
A game like this against an inferior opponent, a team that you should beat handily, this is a good week for him as a get right game.
You know, I think that we've seen some good things out of some of the insular guys, out of Elijah Moore, out of Jerry Judy to this point. But look, this is the guy that's a leader on the team. He's supposed to be your number one. We've seen him act and play and produce like a number one the last couple of seasons. He's got to get it right. And especially if this is a playoff team, if this team is going to make any noise at all, contend for the division, you have to have a number one receiver. So I'm banking on maybe this being Mari's breakout week this week.
[01:19:38] Speaker B: Nice bone.
[01:19:40] Speaker C: I'm going to add that Mario Cooper was mine as well. He's just been like, a pros pro since he's been here in every single way. So it just so unlike him these first couple weeks. So just getting him back into it and making catches and being that number one for us, I think, is going to be huge for the rest of the season.
[01:19:56] Speaker B: Absolutely. And with that, it's going to take us to gast up.
All right, so obviously it's that time again, boys.
This is where we talk about anything that's getting us gassed up. Whether it's gassed up good or gassed up bad, we're gonna talk about it. So I'm gonna start with you. Me. I'm gonna start with me. Yeah, I'm gonna start with me. You know what's getting me gassed up this week?
[01:20:29] Speaker C: What's that?
[01:20:29] Speaker B: Mosquitoes.
[01:20:30] Speaker C: They're the worst.
[01:20:31] Speaker B: I just hate mosquitoes. Those fuck those things.
No, seriously, like, what is the point of a mosquito?
[01:20:39] Speaker A: Food for other animals.
[01:20:41] Speaker B: Yeah. I mean, I get that part.
[01:20:42] Speaker C: Disease.
[01:20:42] Speaker B: Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Like, not only are you annoying and you make me itch, but then you're just gonna give me a disease.
[01:20:48] Speaker A: Population control.
[01:20:50] Speaker B: That's what it is. Government?
[01:20:52] Speaker A: No, nature.
[01:20:54] Speaker B: I think it's government. You know, so it's like, birds aren't real.
I just hate mosquitoes, man. They're so annoying. And I'm fair skinned, so they go after me all the time. Like, I just.
[01:21:05] Speaker A: That good.
[01:21:06] Speaker B: That good? Good. Yeah. As soon as we go outside, if it's like us three, they're definitely eating me, so, like, it's not fun.
[01:21:13] Speaker A: I would love to see you get eaten.
[01:21:17] Speaker B: With that. You've stopped me at my track, so I'm gonna go ahead and go with bone. What's getting you guessed up this week?
[01:21:23] Speaker C: Oh, man. All right, well, I just. You know what got me guessed up today was a story I heard, kind of experienced in my neighborhood.
Real quick, I get a message from my wife that a. A baby horse was hit on. On the road, I guess, by my allotment in my neighborhood, which is really weird, because there's no farms around.
And it, like, went on, you know, social media, somebody, like, made a post like, hey, has anybody lost a horse? It's, like, lying here on the side of the road. Like, it looks like it got hit by a car. It's kind of dark.
[01:21:52] Speaker B: Just average, everyday, normal post, but it.
[01:21:54] Speaker C: Was just really strange story, you know, to kind of start the day. So I immediately texted the wife, and I. I said, I'm gonna need you to pick me up after work today. Except I took my truck to the shop.
She said, okay, what's the address? And I was like, or what happened? And I was like, well, I had some front end damage. I gave her the address to where I work, and she still wasn't tracking. So I just kept. I took this joke going on kind of dark for a few hours, like, until lunchtime, when I called and I broke the news to her that I did not indeed hit this horse. But did she?
[01:22:25] Speaker B: By the time you told you broke the news, had she caught on a little bit? Like, oh, God, I think bone hit the.
[01:22:30] Speaker C: She already set up, like, to have her mom take her to work the next day. Cause she figured I would be needing her vehicle, so.
[01:22:36] Speaker B: Well, it's good to know that if you ever commit a crime, your wife is 100% on board to cover it up for you. Like, absolutely. Let me clear my schedule.
[01:22:45] Speaker C: Yeah. Disclaimer. I don't know what happened to the horse. It was cleaned up. As far as I know, it was alive.
[01:22:50] Speaker A: We still don't know what happened to the horse.
[01:22:52] Speaker B: Bone's officially my prime suspect.
[01:22:53] Speaker C: This is super random, because this is not, like, a farming area. Anything like a horse.
[01:22:59] Speaker B: That's extremely smart. Listen, I'm gonna go on the podcast tonight and talk about how it wasn't me. So then this is alibi. Yeah.
[01:23:07] Speaker A: Is the podcast.
[01:23:08] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:23:08] Speaker C: I even sent her, like, a Chris Farley, like, gif or meme or whatever in the text message where he's, like, driving, and he, like, all of a sudden, he's, like, cracking up as he's driving. He's like, oh. Like, he hit something. Like, I thought that would have gave it away, but nope.
[01:23:20] Speaker B: No, no, it was good.
[01:23:22] Speaker C: It's funny.
[01:23:23] Speaker B: You're white. Good people.
[01:23:24] Speaker C: Yeah, she is.
[01:23:25] Speaker A: Pony killed a horse.
[01:23:26] Speaker B: Kenny, what's getting you gassed up? Wait, so let me. I just. Just so I'm clear. Ponies getting hit by cars is what's getting.
[01:23:34] Speaker C: It was just a bizarre story, so I had to share unsolved mystery of.
[01:23:38] Speaker B: The pony getting hit by the car.
[01:23:39] Speaker C: Okay, call into the hot take outline if you have any further information.
[01:23:41] Speaker B: Yeah, 330-227-8080 we're taking it out of this test.
Kenny. Kenny, what is getting you gassed up this weekend?
[01:23:50] Speaker A: Oh, man, I was just thinking about this.
[01:23:53] Speaker C: Farts always funny.
[01:23:56] Speaker A: Farts, like, they're funny, right?
[01:23:58] Speaker C: Yep.
[01:23:59] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:23:59] Speaker A: Like, but how long have farts been funny?
[01:24:02] Speaker B: Forever.
[01:24:03] Speaker C: For 35 years.
[01:24:04] Speaker A: Like, have they been. Are farts funny? Because, like, modern media, we've officially gone there.
[01:24:09] Speaker B: We got toilet humor on our. On our show, but go on.
[01:24:12] Speaker A: Are farts funny? Because, like, modern media, like, we grew up with, like, slapstick comedy and, like, fart jokes, like Harry and dumb. And dumb are pooping on the toilet, just blowing it out the box.
[01:24:23] Speaker B: There's shit everywhere.
[01:24:25] Speaker A: Go back 100 years. Go back to 1900. Was farts funny then?
[01:24:29] Speaker B: Had to be, right?
[01:24:31] Speaker C: It had to have been.
[01:24:32] Speaker A: What about the middle medieval times? Like the 15 hundreds?
[01:24:36] Speaker B: Like, if King Henry farted with Zealand, just imagine.
[01:24:39] Speaker A: No blamed on a page.
[01:24:41] Speaker B: Arturo, come on.
[01:24:42] Speaker C: He executed his 9th wife for it.
[01:24:45] Speaker B: Just imagine, like, a knight's tale and he. You are here to be arrested.
[01:24:51] Speaker A: Well, that's what I'm saying, though. Like, with, like, our farts funnier today to us because we laugh at them. Or, like, have they always been kind of funny?
[01:24:58] Speaker B: If they weren't always funny, then them old people was wrong.
[01:25:01] Speaker A: Like, I know, like, Ben Franklin penned an essay about farting proudly and. Cause he was, like, fed up with the pretentiousness of, like, the british elite. Cause they were trying to make things you could swallow to make your farts.
[01:25:13] Speaker B: Not talk about our show closing. That's what you should. You should have just read it as the closing the show today.
[01:25:18] Speaker A: They wanted to make their farts not smell. So they were trying to clear a couple of, like, food, perfume, and he was like, you should just fart proudly. Like, he was compend, like, this, like, satirical essay back to the British Academy of science was like, just. Just let it out.
But, like, so, okay, go back, like, 300 years. But, like, let's really think about this. Like, first off, like, was there just like a caveman?
[01:25:41] Speaker B: Yes.
That's what I was just picturing. Like, I'm just sitting there with the money and just like.
[01:25:46] Speaker A: And they've just housed a wildebeest and this barely bipedal man that just started walking yesterday is like just blowing it out in the cave. And then it's like, like before laughing.
[01:26:04] Speaker B: Was even a thing.
[01:26:07] Speaker A: Like, were there cavemen laughing at their own farts?
[01:26:09] Speaker B: There had to be.
[01:26:11] Speaker C: 100% there had to be.
[01:26:13] Speaker A: And then also in my mind went to like, was this like a, like a joke? Like a God joke. I'm gonna give him really tiny buttholes.
[01:26:25] Speaker B: That this air's gotta start.
[01:26:26] Speaker C: Serves other purpose too. It's gotta hold everything in.
[01:26:28] Speaker B: That's true. That's true. It would just fall out if it didn't.
[01:26:31] Speaker A: But, like, you know, God was a pretty intelligent creator. He could have just made our first knot sound like that.
[01:26:37] Speaker B: He's gotta give life some comic relief, right?
[01:26:39] Speaker C: Oh, yeah.
[01:26:41] Speaker B: I mean, it speaks to intelligent design.
[01:26:46] Speaker A: He knew. So does God think farts are funny? That's all too.
[01:26:50] Speaker B: I think he does. I think he does. You wanna know what my favorite, like, skit or, like, joke about farts in any movie or tv show is this family guy. When Peter's like, I didn't have gas for the first time til I was like 36 years old. And it flashes back to him in like the seventies, and he's sitting there on a beanbag chair and he's just alone in this part where he's just like. And he's like, what the hell was that?
I mean, you have to watch it. It's the funniest thing.
It sticks out every time we talk about farts.
[01:27:19] Speaker A: So just like, like, I'm just trying to think of, like, us versus cavemen. Like, they had to have probably thought it was just the sound alone is funny and then the stink is funny. Yeah, but like, I don't know, like, are we just so much more desensitized to it because of like, like South park and Terrence and Philip and just like all the. Just today's media that, bro, if you.
[01:27:37] Speaker B: Don'T think farts are funny, then get the fuck out of here.
[01:27:41] Speaker A: Bottom line, that's what I was guessed up about.
[01:27:43] Speaker B: Yeah, you were literally gassed up.
So with that, let's get into the king of the north.
All right, so in case anyone doesn't know by now, this is our year long AFC north pick'em competition. At the end of the season, whoever comes in last place gets punished. In the preseason last year, Kenny had a gross of eggs thrown at him by fans in the Muni lot before a preseason game. In the preseason this year, Kenny had his head and beard shaved clean off. It's a lot of hair donated.
[01:28:23] Speaker A: Thank you.
[01:28:24] Speaker B: Punishment this season will be.
Listen to this guy. We got it.
[01:28:28] Speaker A: We figured it out.
[01:28:29] Speaker B: We figured it out. Whoever loses this year is going to have to go into a public pool, get in, and then publicly announce that they have urinated in that pool.
And so this begs the question, Kenny, are you excited to do this this year?
[01:28:44] Speaker A: I am definitely not going to lose this year.
[01:28:47] Speaker B: You're losing right now.
[01:28:49] Speaker A: I'm tied for second right now.
[01:28:51] Speaker B: So I'm not losing technically in last place, though.
[01:28:53] Speaker A: I'm not technically in last place.
[01:28:54] Speaker B: You're both in last place. I'm in first place. You guys suck.
But first things first. Before we get into this, I want to to remind everyone that bone is the reigning, defending king of the north. And Kenny, as always, is a clown. So let's remind everyone our current records after week one. I'm sorry. After week two, who's the clown now? You.
I am in first place at three and five. And Bona Kenny are bringing up the rear at two and six. Such a funny turn of phrase. Like, what?
But anyways, let's get into this week's games. Starting off with Cincinnati. Cincinnati hosts Washington and start things off. I hate to say it, but Cincinnati is finally gonna win a game. Washington is ass dog.
They're so bad.
[01:29:38] Speaker A: Washington's ass dog.
[01:29:40] Speaker C: Like dog ass dog ass dog.
Alone in the world. A little ass dog.
[01:29:47] Speaker B: Yeah, I mean, Washington's bad. So the fact that the only team they can beat is the New York Giants tells you all you need to know about Washington. So I got seen winning, finally getting on the board. Bone, who you got?
[01:29:59] Speaker C: Cincinnati. I think they're gonna win.
[01:30:01] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
[01:30:02] Speaker C: All the reasons that you said, yeah.
[01:30:04] Speaker B: Thanks, Kenny.
This is where it goes off the rails, where you start making crazy picks. Like, come on, come on, pick Washington.
[01:30:14] Speaker C: He's making moves.
[01:30:15] Speaker B: Come on. You're never gonna catch up if you don't pick Washington.
[01:30:19] Speaker A: No, I've got Cincinnati. Damn it. Look, and I think that while I still have doubts about Cincinnati in terms of, like, are they a playoff team? Are they truly going to compete for the division?
I do think that they had have some momentum coming into this week after what was a close game against the Chiefs. So I think that they're at least feeling like they can probably win this game at this point.
[01:30:44] Speaker B: All right. All right. I wish you would have picked Washington. I really do. I saw it in your face. You wanted to.
[01:30:50] Speaker A: No, it was. My note broke again and I was trying to reset it sure. I didn't have my notes.
[01:30:55] Speaker B: All right, so next up, the Steelers host the Chargers. Bone, who you got?
[01:31:00] Speaker C: Oh, man. Charges are playing pretty good right now.
JK Dobbins is a stud.
[01:31:08] Speaker B: I know he in Baltimore, he couldn't get off the couch cause his toe was always broken and now he's doing front flips into the end zone out there. San Diego. So.
[01:31:17] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, I'm going to say their momentum stops. I think the Steelers are going to beat them. Oh, Steelers defense is good.
[01:31:26] Speaker B: It is good, but they also have not played anybody yet. Good point, but I like it. Going with the Steelers at home. Mike Tomlin, team home game.
[01:31:35] Speaker C: Yeah, I'm going with the Steelers.
[01:31:36] Speaker B: Good call, kenny.
Yeah.
[01:31:42] Speaker A: I think the Steelers are fraudulent. I think they've played bad teams so far. The Chargers, at least to this point, are a good team. More important, they can run the ball and they have a good quarterback. So I'm going Chargers in this one.
[01:31:53] Speaker B: And for all the same reasons that you just said, I'm going Chargers as well. The main point that I also, I want to continue to drive home is I think the Steelers are fraudulent.
I don't think they're a good team. I think mike Tomlin will figure out a way to get them to 500. Sure. But I don't think they're a good team. I think a lot of these wins are going to come in close games against bad teams because that's what Mike, he's going to win those games. Really good, coach.
So, yeah, I like the Chargers to win this one. And then the Ravens travel to Dallas to take on the Cowboys. Kenny, who you got?
[01:32:26] Speaker A: Oh, boy.
Look, I think Dallas is not as good as we thought they were after week one, but I have not been impressed by this Ravens team yet. I think it takes a superhuman performance from Lamar Jackson for them to beat basically anybody. They're in Dallas. Dallas is really coming off of a really ugly loss in week two. Um, I think that they're going to probably have all their eyes dotted and t's crossed for this one. I'm going to go Dallas.
[01:32:57] Speaker B: Nice bone. Who got?
[01:32:59] Speaker C: I'm going to pick Dallas as well.
I know they just got shit on by New Orleans, but their defense destroyed us for some reason, one. One way or another, and they did.
And if they, like Kenny said, can handle Lamar, I feel like their receivers suck. So I'm going to go with Dallas at home.
[01:33:18] Speaker B: That's fair. That's fair. I'm actually going to go with Baltimore in this game as much as I have not been impressed with Baltimore either. And as much as I hated watching Dallas shit all over us, as bone so eloquently put it, I just think I look at last week's game and one thing that the Browns were lacking against Dallas was a rushing game. Like we. We didn't have anybody that ran for over like 30 yards or whatever it was. Last week they played a solid running back in Alvin Camara and he just destroyed them. He lit them up. And I think as much as I don't think they've fully figured out how to use King Henry yet, I think that him and Lamar Jackson go in there and it's going to be a run heavy day and I think that they come out on top, but I actually don't think it's going to be particularly close.
It's not going to be a blowout, but I think they win by like ten points. So I got Baltimore in this one and then finally the Browns will be back at Huntington bank Field to take on the Giants.
So the reason we're all here, I'll go ahead and start this thing. I got Cleveland in this. I don't think it's going to be particularly close. I think it's the final scores somewhere around 21 to ten, Cleveland. But I think one of those touchdowns actually comes in garbage time for the Giants.
[01:34:39] Speaker A: So you realize you said over on 38 and a half, right?
[01:34:43] Speaker B: Yeah, I know.
[01:34:45] Speaker A: And you know we're close.
[01:34:48] Speaker B: Yeah, I know. I picked my score before you told me what the over under was and then I inflated the Browns and I went, but I'm going 21 ten. Browns here. Up it, you know, what is it? 30, 38. 38 is the number. 29 to ten, Cleveland.
[01:35:07] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. Right in sync.
[01:35:09] Speaker B: Yeah. There you go.
[01:35:11] Speaker A: Who's next?
[01:35:12] Speaker B: Bone.
[01:35:13] Speaker C: I'll go Browns. Browns are going to win.
[01:35:16] Speaker B: He's back. He's back to picking the Browns.
[01:35:18] Speaker C: Yeah, I'm back. They looked a little better last week, the offense, they looked a little better. So I'm fully confident showed something. Deshaun threw the ball over 20 yards, couple plays. That was. That was nice to see. I will go Browns 24, giants twelve.
[01:35:34] Speaker B: Nice. Nice.
Kenny, who you got in this one?
[01:35:37] Speaker A: Are you.
[01:35:37] Speaker B: Are you going against the Browns? I feel like it's coming.
[01:35:40] Speaker A: I can see Daniel Jones getting loose on like one big run here and probably malik neighbors having another big day.
That being said, I do think Cleveland can close this one out. I do think it's going to be relatively close. I'm going to go 24 20 rounds.
[01:35:54] Speaker B: Just, just squeaking by just squeaking by. So there you have it. We'll see.
You know, it's still, it's still close. So we'll see who's on top in king of the north after next week.
But that, that'll take us to basically the show. But before we get there, let me remind you to call the burger sports guys that take a line.

We went off the rails there, Kenny. What do you got for us today?
[01:38:17] Speaker A: I have some facts for days.
[01:38:19] Speaker B: Let's hear them. Look at. Look at your picture. It's when you had hair.
[01:38:22] Speaker A: Thank you.
I don't have any now.
[01:38:25] Speaker B: No, it's coming in nicely, though. You're. You know, I thought it looked gray when it was long. Cause it was gray, but it is. You look like you're 90.
[01:38:36] Speaker A: Look, it's fine if you have a d in your mouth. It's fine if you don't. Number one, just you.
[01:38:41] Speaker B: Oh, just me.
[01:38:42] Speaker A: Number one. You may have heard that humans and chimps share 99% of our ancestral DNA.
[01:38:50] Speaker B: Okay. However did you know I heard that.
[01:38:52] Speaker A: Once, that we as humans share 50% of our DNA with bananas?
[01:38:59] Speaker B: Hell, yes. Because we're both living.
[01:39:01] Speaker A: We're basically half banana. By sequencing the entire genome of various organisms, researchers have discovered similarities in their base material. Human beings have been found to share many of the housekeeping genes that are necessary for cellular function.
[01:39:17] Speaker B: In bananas, does this point to like, crawling out of the primordial oub.
[01:39:21] Speaker A: Ooze. Oob.
[01:39:23] Speaker B: Ooze.
[01:39:27] Speaker A: In the tube? Yes. This is bananas that are crawling out of the primordial ooze. And then soon, Orlando, a bipedal human, popped out and headed to your mom.
[01:39:37] Speaker B: That's what happened.
The future bone. What do you have to say about this?
Not my mom. About oob.
[01:39:51] Speaker C: If we came from a banana man, then I don't know what. That takes some belief there. That takes some belief.
[01:39:58] Speaker A: Only use rotten bananas and banana bread.
[01:40:00] Speaker B: True.
What's next?
[01:40:03] Speaker A: Number two, celery.
[01:40:06] Speaker B: Ooh. Are we. Do we share 50% of our DNA with celery?
Maybe 75. I did research that one.
[01:40:13] Speaker A: Celery, though, has negative calories.
[01:40:17] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. Cause it's no calories. Then you chew it. So then when you chew it, it's negative calories.
[01:40:21] Speaker A: Yes, I know.
[01:40:21] Speaker B: You're welcome. Facts for days. Number two, from red hot ronnie jams.
[01:40:25] Speaker A: It takes more calories to eat a single piece of celery than the total amount of calories one piece contains. Considering consider adding these tasty veggies.
[01:40:34] Speaker B: They're all water.
[01:40:34] Speaker A: Diet snack.
[01:40:35] Speaker B: It's basically just water.
[01:40:37] Speaker A: Yes. In celery form.
[01:40:38] Speaker B: Yeah. Instead of celery's. Delicious, though. I'm with bone on that. With. With buffalo chicken dip. Let's throw it back.
[01:40:45] Speaker A: That will not have negative calories.
[01:40:48] Speaker B: You up the calorie count significantly. When you add buffalo chicken dip to your celery stick.
[01:40:54] Speaker C: It tastes way better with buffalo chicken.
[01:40:56] Speaker A: On it will also ruin your colon.
[01:40:58] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, a little bit.
[01:41:00] Speaker A: Number three. Burning river.
Burning oob.
[01:41:07] Speaker B: What's number three?
[01:41:11] Speaker A: Number three.
[01:41:13] Speaker B: The man, the myth, the legend with.
[01:41:15] Speaker A: The longest beard in the world was murdered by his beard.
[01:41:24] Speaker B: What?
[01:41:25] Speaker A: In 1567, the man that held this title was trying to run from a fire due to his beard's length, tripped over it, which caused him to fall down the stairs and break his neck.
And then he died. Wow. The man's name was Hans Steininger.
He was the mayor of a picturesque little town called Braunau.
Braunau, Austria Hungary. At the time, life was great. Things were going great for him. He won his 6th governorship, which essentially makes him the mayor of the town. So very popular there and amongst the residents adored by the town, they loved him so much, they just kept voting him in.
And so anyway, he has this four and a half foot beard, and he would typically roll it up and tuck it neatly into his pocket while he greeted constituents as you would, and enjoyed the comfortable life that he built for himself.
But regretfully, that life was cut short, unlike his beard.
On September 28, 1567, a fire broke out in the town and as the. The hero that he was leapt to his feet to see how he could help, and then, sadly, tripped over his beard, fell down the stairs, broke his neck and died.
So, yeah, everyone's favorite mayor snapped his neck on the way down, and he became the first victim of a murderous beard over 450 years later, after his death. His beard, though, does survive. It's currently on display at the district museum of Herzogsberg in Brownau, and it has been authenticated and chemically preserved so that future generations can continue to appreciate this sensational local story. Double fact.
Double fact. Today, the town of brown is brown owl. Amen. Is most often remembered as the birthplace of one Adolf Hitler. But for understandable reasons, the local.
[01:43:16] Speaker B: I like the beard story.
[01:43:17] Speaker A: Local tourism board seems to be more keen to celebrate the mayor who was killed by his own beard.
[01:43:23] Speaker B: Yeah, so that's not as bad.
[01:43:26] Speaker C: The anniversary of his death is coming up. September 28.
[01:43:30] Speaker A: Yes, yes. We should have a seance or something.
Maybe we'll all trim our beard hairs in remembrance.
Steininger. The man.
[01:43:40] Speaker B: Bones. Bones is looking pretty good right now.
[01:43:43] Speaker C: Mine for Hans.
[01:43:44] Speaker A: It's not quite four and a half feet.
[01:43:46] Speaker B: No, no, no. His is just so thick and luscious.
[01:43:48] Speaker A: His was not quite as thick and luscious.
[01:43:50] Speaker B: In fact, the camera was, like, wispy.
[01:43:52] Speaker A: It was more like. Yes, very wispy and long. When it came down into, like, two points, you know, like the old beard type deal.
[01:43:57] Speaker B: Yeah, here's. I'm just throwing it out there. You think this conspiracy theory you think this was a targeted attack. They started the fire hoping he'd die.
He was in office for quite some time. I think someone was jealous.
[01:44:13] Speaker A: Maybe Hitler came back and started the fire.
[01:44:15] Speaker B: We didn't.
[01:44:18] Speaker A: And that, friends, is facts for dates.
[01:44:20] Speaker B: Wow. Killer beards.
[01:44:22] Speaker A: Killer beards.
[01:44:24] Speaker B: Killer beards.
[01:44:26] Speaker A: Killer boots, man.
No, it's a cardigan, but thanks for noticing.
[01:44:30] Speaker B: Oh, man.
[01:44:32] Speaker C: Well, I'm hungry, so bon appetit.
[01:44:38] Speaker A: Don't just be a part of the problem, B. The whole damn problem.
[01:44:41] Speaker B: And only you can prevent river fires.
[01:44:45] Speaker A: Burning river sports.
Burning river. Burning river. Burning rivers, burning rivers.
Wake me up before you go go. Leave me hanging out like a yo yo wake me up before you go go. I don't want to miss. Hit that high. Wake me up, Jitterbug.
[01:45:07] Speaker C: Oh, you go.

Yeah. Yeah, Jitterbug.
[01:45:24] Speaker B: Good night, Cleveland.

Because it's not time for the hokey pokey. It's time for the burning river sports cab. Motorboat. You play the motorboat, you motivated son of a bitch. You old sailor, you.
[01:45:58] Speaker A: You know what I was thinking during that interview?
[01:45:59] Speaker B: What? What were you think? Nothing. Cause you don't have thoughts. Cause you're a brainless idiot.
[01:46:04] Speaker A: Wow.

Slow roasted.
[01:46:59] Speaker A: The leads are weak. The leads are weak?
[01:47:02] Speaker B: Fucking leads are weak? You're weak.
[01:47:05] Speaker A: That we should send a team of oil core drillers a la Armageddon to Mars. To have them access the newly discovered reservoirs of water trapped seven to 12 miles on the surface that, when released, will cover the entirety of everything on the planet less than a mile high.
[01:47:14] Speaker B: All I do is win, win, win no matter what. Erroneous. Erroneous on both counts. Oh, lord. I mean, when I. Last year when I went home, you know, my wife's pants hit the ground.
[01:47:24] Speaker A: Wow.
[01:47:24] Speaker B: But damn.

[01:47:32] Speaker A: Cause you drove a Hyundai.
[01:47:33] Speaker B: To get here tonight, I drove an $80,000 BMW. That's my name. Now. I think we've officially lost all of our more conservative viewers, so I don't think they want to listen any longer.
