  • Ads ads ads

    This is a good show but there are so many ads. It opens with 1:30-2 minutes worth of ads. At some random point in the middle, it’s the same thing. The episode ends with even more ads, at least two minutes worth. Basically it’s 8 minutes worth of show and at least 5 minutes worth of ads.

  • Best talkshow in Cleveland

    Y’all do a great job very entertaining very informative ..

    I do have one observation since when has Mary Kay Cabot become the defender of Deshaun Watson ? Of course she’ll deny it because it’s her style, but she sure enjoys defending our QB1 ..

    This has nothing to do with his quarterbacking skills. We all seem to also forget our hometown hero is a a sexual predator

  • Commercials ruin it

    The show is good and the guys have solid takes with great interviews. However, the way the segments load up is unbearable. Ten minutes of content with 3-4 minutes of commercial breaks repeating the same thing throughout. Can’t listen anymore until they fix this. No other legit podcasts are formatted this way

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Full Show Thursday April 23, 2026
Q: Who would you take at number six if you can't trade down?
Carnell Tate is favored by the hosts for his immediate impact and consistent hands, though opinions vary on whether to prioritize tackle Spencer Fano or other receivers; the debate centers on balancing floor vs ceiling and the need for a reliable weekly contributor.
Joe Vardon: James Harden Is Resetting the Cavs Playoff Culture
Q: What impact has James Harden had on the Cavs' playoff run and culture?
Harden has provided a reliable offensive engine alongside Mitchell, allowing Mobley to settle into his role and elevate the team's defensive and offensive balance, which represents a cultural reset rather than a simple role change.
Danny Cunningham: Donovan Mitchell Under the Most Pressure in the Playoffs
Q: What is the pressure on Donovan Mitchell going into the postseason?
The consensus is that Mitchell faces the most pressure because he is the star of the team, his health and performance could determine how far the Cavs go, and this year presents perhaps their best healthy window for a deep run with him leading the way.
Full Show Tuesday April 14, 2026
Q: Who has the most pressure going into the postseason for the Cavaliers?
Danny Cunningham and the hosts discuss Donovan Mitchell as the national focal point, while locally Evan Mobley is highlighted as the next big thing; the consensus is that Mitchell carries the most pressure due to being the centerpiece, but Mobley is also under scrutiny as a developing star.
Full Show April 6, 2026
Q: What are realistic expectations for Carnell Tate at six, given the Browns' needs?
Castrovince and Ryder agree Tate could be a day-one significant contributor if healthy, potentially the number-one WR, but there is skepticism about the rest of the roster and the immediate impact of a rookie on a struggling offense.
