Ken Tells The Worst Guardians Playoff Loss He Ever Experienced Oct 21, 2026

Show notes

After the Guardians blow a 2-1 series lead against the Rays, the crew ranks the most gut-wrenching postseason losses they’ve suffered as adult fans, from 1997 and 2007 to the 2016 World Series and the 2017 ALDS collapse against the Yankees. One host shares a story about the morning after 2017 that still makes him furious. They also argue over whether this team could have been the one nobody saw coming to win it all.

Cam Newton Says Shedeur Should Bolt for Philly Oct 21, 2026

Show notes

With Jalen Hurts out indefinitely with blood clots, Cam Newton says Shedeur Sanders should want a trade to Philadelphia to get his shot on film. Ken and Lima argue the Eagles are a worse landing spot, pointing to Nick Sirianni’s hot seat and a shaky offensive line, and the debate turns to Deshaun Watson’s durability. They also get into the idea among Sanders fans that the NFL, the Browns and the media have all conspired against him.

Are the Browns Really a Playoff Team? Cleveland Can’t Agree Oct 21, 2026

Show notes

At 4-2, is a trade deadline splash worth it, or are the Browns just playing with house money? One caller refuses to get her heart broken again while another is already planning for the Super Bowl, and the hosts clash over cap hell, Todd Monken’s run game and Deshaun Watson’s ceiling. A story about Gabora the gorilla girl derails everything along the way.

Are You Buying In on the 4-2 Browns? Oct 21, 2026

Show notes

Ken asks the crew and callers whether they're buying in on the 4-2 Browns, and they debate what "bought in" even means, from making the playoffs to trading for Khalil Mack, with Lima saying a third-rounder would be the cutoff. They argue the good defense, no turnovers and a few fourth-quarter plays formula is more sustainable than it looked a month ago, and point to young players like Austin Barber, Spencer Fano and Mason Graham as reasons to believe in Andrew Berry again. They also note that Sunday against Tennessee is the first time the Browns have been favored all season.

Trade a 2nd or 3rd for Khalil Mack? Ken Says Not a Chance Oct 21, 2026

Show notes

The crew wonders why so many Browns fans seem unhappy about 4-2, with the answer mostly coming back to Deshaun Watson, and lands on a difference between being unhappy and not buying in. Ken argues the Browns should only trade for 35-year-old Khalil Mack if they're a real Super Bowl contender, and he pushes back on Eddie from Westlake, who says you can never have too many pass rushers. Ken says he needs his second and third-round picks for a young team, but he's open to Jonathan Taylor, and he defends Watson for not turning the ball over against the Ravens.

Around the AFC North: Is Aaron Rodgers Over the Trip to Paris? Oct 21, 2026

Show notes

Ken and Lima go around the division with Ken Wyman in Baltimore, Mo Egger in Cincinnati and Andrew Fillipponi in Pittsburgh. Wyman says Ravens fans weren't shocked by another blown double-digit lead and expects Lamar Jackson back, Egger says the Bengals' run game is the big question coming off the bye and that Jonathan Taylor would be an upgrade, and Fillipponi says Aaron Rodgers didn't sound thrilled about the Steelers' trip to Paris and that Pittsburgh needs a receiver like Jerry Jeudy at the deadline. The segment ends with Lima calling the 4-2 Browns "fraudulent" and the two wondering why so many fans seem to be waiting for the other shoe to drop.
