  • 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 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.
Daryl Ruiter on Deshaun Watson Expectations and Browns Draft Needs
Q: What are the expectations for Deshaun Watson this season?
Expect Watson to look good in practice due to experience and familiarity with offenses, but anticipate ongoing adjustments in the real game, with lower immediate efficiency given time missed, and the chance of the quarterback competition continuing into the season.
Daryl Ruiter on Deshaun Watson Expectations and Browns Draft Needs
Q: How pumped should fans be about Carnell Tate at six?
Fans should expect Tate to be the number one receiver and to bring instant impact, especially in a top-ten pick scenario where he is viewed as a game changer who can stretch the field and contribute immediately.
Daryl Ruiter on Deshaun Watson Expectations and Browns Draft Needs
Q: What are realistic expectations for Carnell Tate at six overall?
If Tate is selected, he's expected to be the Browns' top receiver early on, capable of making a game-changing impact and helping reshape the receiving corps, though the exact week-one role would depend on how quickly he adjusts to the NFL.
Hour 3: Mary Kay Cabot: 60% Chance Shedeur Sanders Starts Week 1
Q: What is the percent chance that Shedeur Sanders starts this season, week one as quarterback of the Browns?
Mary Kay Cabot estimates about a 60% chance, explaining it in terms of Shedeur's late-season performance, the upgrade in the offense, and the coaching staff's confidence in his fit for Monken's system.
