Is Today the Series? Ken and Lima Size Up Guardians Game 3 Oct 15, 2026

Show notes

Ken and Lima close out the show feeling good about ALCS Game 3, leaning on daytime Gavin Williams, a rested bullpen, and a chance for Jose Ramirez to bounce back. They feel for fans who had to scramble over the time change, expect some empty sections in the 500 level, and push back on critics who say Cleveland doesn't support its team. They agree it's not a must-win but would be deflated by a loss, and they encourage everyone who can get downtown early to bring the energy.

Is Shedeur Sanders Waving the White Flag by Hiring an Agent? Oct 15, 2026

Show notes

Ken and Lima take calls from fans fed up with the 1 PM start for ALCS Game 3, and Ken admits he can't complain about the time change if the Guardians lose after talking up the daytime edge. They then return to the Shedeur Sanders agent timing, playing a Nick clip calling it defeatist and bringing up the 2014 Johnny Manziel benching as a cautionary tale. Ken says Deshaun Watson keeps the job as long as the Browns keep winning, and a trade only makes sense if Sanders or his camp pushes for one.

Is the 1 PM Start Actually Good News for the Guardians? Oct 15, 2026

Show notes

Ken and Lima argue over whether the early start takes the edge out of ALCS Game 3, defending fans who balked at $300 secondary market tickets and pointing out the Guardians' $99 get-in price. They worry MLB could squeeze in back-to-back 8 PM games before a flight to Tampa, but still feel good about Gavin Williams and a Rays lineup that struggles with runners in scoring position. They also debate whether Austin Hedges should have challenged a call and visited Parker Messick after the Jose Ramirez error in Game 2.

Is the Browns' Shotgun Obsession Exposing Deshaun Watson? Oct 15, 2026

Show notes

Ken and Lima get into whether the Browns' heavy use of shotgun is making the offense predictable and hurting an already weak run game, with Ken playing a Todd Monken clip defending it and wondering if Deshaun Watson is a replacement-level quarterback whose success will fade as teams adjust. They also lean on Gavin Williams' home and daytime splits to feel good about ALCS Game 3, with Lima mentioning Griffin Jax's history against Cleveland. They close by joking that Jim Duquette backed out of the interview, then look ahead to a likely Saturday-Sunday schedule for the series.

Mary Kay Cabot: Browns Don't Want to Trade Shedeur Sanders Oct 15, 2026

Show notes

Mary Kay Cabot tells Ken and Lima that Shedeur Sanders' new agent is more about career guidance than a trade push, and that the Browns have no interest in moving him or Jerry Jeudy. She runs through the banged-up running back room, Deshaun Watson's tough day behind a shaky offensive line, and how much Todd Monken's history with Lamar Jackson helps, adding that she expects Jackson to play. Afterward, Ken and Lima debate whether the Browns can keep four quarterbacks and what Taylor Green's future looks like.

Would You Skip Work for Great Lakes Christmas Ale or ALCS Game 3? Oct 15, 2026

Show notes

Ken and Lima realize the Guardians' 1 PM start lands on the same day as the Great Lakes Christmas Ale first pour, and Lima rips the line of identical bearded guys while a Great Lakes rep walks through the ceremony. That leads to another round of the take-off-work debate and the tree farm and latchkey kid jokes, with Ken clarifying that he said people should go only if they can. Ken then makes his case for Gavin Williams in the daytime, thinks a weather delay could line up Parker Messick for Sunday, and previews Jim Duquette and Mary Kay Cabot.

About Last Night: Brewers Up 3-0 & The Buck-Aikman Feud Oct 15, 2026

Show notes

Ken and Lima bring in producer John to react to the Brewers going up 3-0 on the Dodgers in the NLCS, led by a big homer from former Cleveland player Jake Bauers and his 26-homer season. They laugh off a conspiracy theory that the Dodgers are tanking on purpose, then dig into the report of a Joe Buck and Troy Aikman argument before Monday Night Football. They also cover Steven Kwan and Tanner Bibee's Gold Glove nominations and Lima's trip to Buffalo, which turns into a debate over whether Buffalo wings are overrated.

Was the Browns QB Competition Rigged Against Shedeur Sanders? Oct 15, 2026

Show notes

Ken and Lima argue over whether Shedeur Sanders hired an agent because he wants out of Cleveland, with Ken pushing back on his camp's claim that the QB competition was rigged and saying Deshaun Watson simply won the job. They warn that a trade would feed the narratives about Sanders, then take a call from Mike in Beachwood, who says the agent could just be about getting paid, like Lamar Jackson. Ken urges patience given Watson's injury history, and both agree Sanders should stay put rather than force a move to Arizona, Miami or Tennessee.

Why Did Shedeur Sanders Hire an Agent Right Before the Trade Deadline? Oct 15, 2026

Show notes

Ken and Lima dig into why Shedeur Sanders hired an agent, shooting down the rumor that the Browns will waive him for Dillon Gabriel and pointing to Marvin Harrison Jr. as a recent example of a new agency followed by a trade. They break down what agents can do that teams can't, then ask whether Sanders is getting antsy behind a Deshaun Watson who Todd Monken has made playable. They also size up possible trade partners like Miami, Tennessee and Arizona and invite Shedeur fans to call in.

Curtis Danburg: $99 Seats, Watch Parties and Donovan Mitchell's First Pitch Oct 15, 2026

Show notes

Ken and Lima put Curtis Danburg in the no-spin zone about the 6 PM to 1 PM move, and he says the decision came from MLB because of the rain forecast. He says a rainout Friday would push Game 4 to Sunday with a late afternoon or early evening start. He also gets into vouchers for fans who can't make it, $99 upper deck tickets, season ticket holder frustration over dynamic pricing, and Donovan Mitchell rearranging his schedule to throw the first pitch.
