Reviews

4.1 out of 5 stars from 852 ratings
  • It’s pronounced “Oregon”

    IDK how anyone listens to this. Whereas Dan and Ashley are merely bumbling, Mary Kay is a total mouthpiece of and apologist for the team, bankrupt in journalistic ethics.

  • Mary Kay is a Shill

    I’ve listened to this podcast for years and only occasionally still tune in.

    Mary Kay’s biggest check is from Browns ownership.

    She just tries to appeal to fans after Watson trashes an entire fan base and claims it “isn’t performance based.”

    Then on the very next podcast is singing Watson praises and lecturing fans with an excuse laden history lesson on how absolute trash Watson is as a player and human being.

    Ashley eats up everything MK says and regurgitates it.

    Thank God Dan had a p... more

  • Inconsistent and bias commentary

    I love listening to all perspectives and have been a Browns fan for 40 years. I haven’t missed an orange and browns talk podcast in a few years but I think you all broke me on the overwhelming support for Watson the past month. I’m not even a Sanders fan but I seriously question this groups independent journalism at this point as it feels like this group has been a part of the soft launch of Watson since OTAs with the front office and coaching staff. Maybe that’s how Mary Kay gets early access ... more

  • Rambling and Repeaters

    This podcast would be better if they didn’t ramble on and repeat the same talking point over and over in their discussions. Hard to listen to at times.

  • Unlistenable

    If you want to hear QB takes that are inaccurate. This is for you. They only talk about quarterbacks on this podcast and you will get no meaningful info from it. Pathetic

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What is the most surprising part of Browns 3-1 start? Hey, Mary Kay!
Q: Is the Browns' hot start sustainable given the penalties and the way Watson has played?
The hosts suggest sustainability hinges on correcting mental mistakes and penalties; if that improves, the team could win more, though they may not stay perfect given the remaining schedule.
Can Deshaun Watson win over Browns fans? Hey, Mary Kay!
Q: If Deshaun Watson turns into a top 15 quarterback, does that alter the Browns' QB plans for 2027?
The hosts suggest it could influence the decision, potentially easing urgency to draft another quarterback if Watson proves capable, but they also discuss the possibility of drafting a quarterback regardless as a long-term plan.
Shedeur Sanders’ task, the LT competition and Todd Monken moments: Hey, Mary Kay!
Q: Does this team look better organized on offense than in the past?
Overall, the offense has had rough patches with installation and cadence, but the coaching staff and players are focusing on simplifying and pairing it down to what works, with some optimism that the unit can come together as the season approaches.
Shedeur Sanders’ task, the LT competition and Todd Monken moments: Hey, Mary Kay!
Q: Hey Mary Kay, what does Shedeur Sanders have to do to demonstrate that his performance as a rookie outweighs Watson's veteran performance?
Shedeur needs to show that he can handle all pre-snap responsibilities, make the 60 decisions required in Todd Monken's system, execute plays at the line, and manage the offense with cadence and command, while also proving he can perform consistently in game-like settings, not just on highlight throws.
Are Browns expectations fair for 2026 and where does the QB battle stand after three days?
Q: Mary Kay, what did you see out there today in the quarterback competition?
Watson showed some flashes with strong throws but also threw an interception; Sanders had good moments with the twos and a deep ball, and the competition remains very open after three days, with both QBs taking reps and the coaches evaluating progress without a clear frontrunner yet.
