  • 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.

Mary Kay Cabot Defends Catherine Hickman Against the Sweatshirt Backlash
Q: What is Todd Monken's approach to player voices and openness in the locker room?
Mary Kay and the hosts suggest Monken has not opened the locker room fully yet, but expect him to let players be themselves while protecting the team and managing public communication.
Mary Kay Cabot Defends Catherine Hickman Against the Sweatshirt Backlash
Q: Should they have considered the fans' opinion when picking their starting quarterback?
The hosts discuss that the coach should not let fan opinion dictate personnel decisions, noting past fan expectations for Johnny Manziel and emphasizing a merit-based approach.
Mary Kay Cabot Defends Catherine Hickman Against the Sweatshirt Backlash
Q: Did Assistant GM Catherine Hickman step in it by accident yesterday? Were there trade offers made for Dillon Gabriel or perhaps Shador Sanders?
Mary Kay explains that Hickman stepped back from the trade chatter, clarified that leadership on trades is not her lane, and that no concrete trade offers were confirmed in that moment.
Mike Chernoff Explains Why Ralphy Velazquez Still Isn't Getting the Call
Q: Why hasn't Ralphy Velázquez been called up yet, despite strong performances?
Two factors matter: the player's controllable readiness and, crucially, the opportunity on the big-league roster; right now there isn't a fit for a longer-term role beyond a potential platoon or bench role.
Mike Chernoff Explains Why Ralphy Velazquez Still Isn't Getting the Call
Q: What's the current thinking on Travis Bazzana's season and adjustment to the majors?
Travis has been outstanding, helped us navigate injuries, and although pitchers are starting to adjust to him, he is relentlessly adjusting and should contribute down the stretch and into the postseason.
