Ken Blocks His Own Station's Social Media After Jerry Jeudy Joke Backfires Sep 18, 2026

Show notes

Ken vents about the station's social team taking his sarcastic "second-round pick for Jerry Jeudy" bit literally and turning it into a video, admitting he blocked 92.3 The Fan's own account over the mix-up. He then defends declining to pile on a viral clip of Deshaun Watson's wife and her dogs getting car-service treatment, arguing the criticism has crossed from fair game into unnecessary family targeting, even as he and Owen agree Watson's Browns tenure is likely down to its final days.

Daryl Ruiter: Baker Should Win Sunday, But Watch His Emotions Sep 18, 2026

Show notes

Daryl Ruiter joins the show and predicts Tampa Bay should beat the Browns comfortably given Baker Mayfield's clear talent edge over Deshaun Watson, though he floats the same wildcard Ken and Anthony raised: if Baker lets his emotions take over trying to embarrass his old team, mistakes could open the door for Cleveland. Ruiter also puts real blame on Todd Monken, Mike Rutenberg, and the defense for their week one collapse, singles out Jared Verse for criticism given the trade capital spent to get him, and confidently predicts the Guardians will still win the AL Central.

Should Browns Fans Root for a Watson Win or a Blowout Loss? Sep 18, 2026

Show notes

A caller poses the ultimate conundrum: root for the Browns to beat Baker Mayfield's Buccaneers, which means rooting for Deshaun Watson, or hope for a blowout loss that finally ends the Watson era. Ken argues Watson has earned the fan backlash by publicly airing his frustrations and treating it like a business dispute, while also weighing in on Joe Burrow's contract situation in Cincinnati and Cam Ward taking unusually personal heat from Tennessee media.

About Last Night: Josh Allen is Awesome & Ole Miss Kicking Out LSU Fans Sep 18, 2026

Show notes

Ken and Anthony bring in producer John to break down Josh Allen's five-touchdown night in a 41-31 rout of the Lions and admit they'd genuinely root for him, and even Lamar Jackson, to win a Super Bowl as long as the Browns stay out of the way. The conversation shifts to Saturday's Ole Miss-LSU showdown, Ole Miss threatening to eject fans wearing LSU colors from the student section, and a Mississippi state auditor's bizarre political threat tied to Ole Miss QB Sam Leavitt's injury status.

John Thinks Selling ALDS Tickets Early Is Jinxing the Guardians Sep 18, 2026

Show notes

John makes the case that the Guardians putting ALDS tickets on sale before clinching a series is bad karma, only to get roasted by Ken, Anthony, and their Boss Keith who doesn't buy the superstition, and points out the Marlins are doing something even more premature. The conversation drifts into memories of standing in line for playoff tickets before mobile ticketing, the gut-wrenching decision Indians fans faced scalping World Series tickets to Cubs fans in 2016, and Anthony explaining the religious reason behind his own name.

Baker's Real Revenge on the Browns Might Be Staying Quiet About It Sep 18, 2026

Show notes

Ken argues the truest sign that Baker Mayfield has moved on from Cleveland wouldn't be a fiery, trash-talking press conference after beating the Browns, but a boring, businesslike one that treats the game like any other. He and Owen debate whether Baker will target Denzel Ward out of old rivalry, how a bad Sunday could fast-track Shedeur Sanders taking over at quarterback, and how low expectations for Deshaun Watson have sunk that even an average game would feel shocking.

Ken and Owen Get Into It Over How Much Slack the Browns Deserve Sep 18, 2026

Show notes

Owen calls out Ken for going soft on the Browns, arguing Ken's newfound patience for Mike Rutenberg's defense and the offensive line lets the team off the hook after a bad week one. The two go back and forth on who's really to blame, Todd Monken, Deshaun Watson, or everyone down the line, while also touching on Jared Goff's hot start in Detroit and whether Ben Johnson owed his old coach any loyalty before jumping to a division rival.

Ken Wants Patience for Rutenberg's Defense, But Owen Isn't Buying It Sep 18, 2026

Show notes

Ken argues for patience with first-year defensive coordinator Mike Rutenberg after a rough season-opening loss, pointing to blocking and tackling breakdowns as an NFL-wide trend and citing Jim Schwartz's own shaky early years as a comparison. Owen pushes back, unwilling to give the defense a mulligan, while both agree the offensive line held up better than expected behind a first-time head coach and a shaky quarterback situation ahead of Sunday's game against Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers.

Josh Allen's Two-Game Touchdown Binge Puts Deshaun Watson to Shame Sep 18, 2026

Show notes

Ken and Lima compare Josh Allen's nine total touchdowns through two Bills games to Deshaun Watson's nine touchdowns over his last nine games, sparking a debate on whether Allen would have become a superstar in Cleveland instead. They also revisit the Baker Mayfield era and whether the Browns would be better off today had they never traded for Watson, plus a detour through the new Bills stadium, Barenaked Ladies' national anthem performance, and a chaotic viral phone call to a Buffalo radio station.

Week 2: 2 Different Narratives For 2 Starting QBs Sep 18, 2026
