Hour 2: Ken Carman Guarantees a Browns Win as Fans Root for Watson Era to End

0:00Coming up at 820, Daryl Ryder going to join us on the show D-Ryke, yes, who just texted me. Coach Lance, he's like, I think what he said. I think we're the only two who are picking the brats and he's picking them confidently. Like, my voice is getting a little bit shaky because I haven't had this much blowback in a long time over some. And he's like, I'm picking them and I'm picking them confidently. I go, I'm like, coach, you and I might be the only ones who are doing it. And the difference is, is that I've made predictions or made picks before. I've made them right, but nobody cares. Guys, do you want Ken to guarantee a win for the Cleveland Brown? Yeah, I'm excited. Heather. You guarantee a win. You, nobody else. You, you, you, you, Ken, we need to hear it right now. Find your old.

1:00Let's go. That kid turned out to be the best. Let's go. I guarantee you win. I guarantee you win. I guarantee they're going to be the right one. I guarantee. And then we lost. I lost again. The first of many disappointments, welcome to real life, kids. Can't get them all right. What do you think they're going to be mad or about? Having to fill out their 1099 someday or having to deal with the with the Browns, look, well, probably actually the Browns losing come to think of it. Some we all got to do. I can get an AI to do my 1099. Damn it. You're right. I'd love to get an AI to complete, you know, first down pass. I think a lot of people would, but I'm like, man, the difference is, is that people are openly calling a stupid coach and you're the coach. You've coached. I only goof around on a weekends. Like you're coached and they're, I mean, they're just relentless. And I do think that there's a lot of people who are Browns fans and I'm not going to say they're bad Browns fans. I think they want this to fail and fail as soon as possible. So they're going to take the Browns to lose.

2:01And I think they probably want them to lose. I'd love to know that. I would love to know if somebody do just admit, yes, I want them to lose. I want this to end. Quakey. We only got a four hour show here. Tom. Like there, I don't know how many calls we could take if people actually be in Honest of Us because I think they hate the quarterback and I think they don't want them out there and they think sooner that this ends, the better it is for everybody. I say it is. It's one thing for us to pontificate on, hey, it just seems like there are people who don't want them to win. I want to actually hear it from like a Browns fan, a 537 boy to be like, yeah, Ant, this is one of those times. First time I've ever rooted against them in an open. Is that a real thing or is that just something that I've conjured up? Kale and Charleston, South Carolina, you're first up in the fan. Yeah, guys, I agree. Browns are going to win. You're with me. You're with me. You're with me. You're with me. You're with me. Yeah, man. Hell yeah. I actually, I went to the game in Jacksonville, week two, 2024. It was a slopfest.

3:02Browns, one, 18, 13, DeShon was the quarterback. There's a ton of Browns fans down here. I think I wouldn't call it a takeover but there's going to be more Browns fans than you think. And something else to consider. If Jacksonville, if their fans saw DeShon's press conference and know they can get in his head, he is going to get his face boot off. Well, Jacksonville. That's, you just, you just, you just, you just, you just gave me a terrible, a terrible thought. If there's going to be that many Browns fans, are they going to be booing him when he goes out there in Jacksonville on Sunday? Absolutely. Absolutely. It's a three hour drive for me. We're going to make the trick. And as many fans as there are down here in the southeast, you know, these two weeks between Jacksonville and Tampa, these are our two weeks to see our Brownies. So we're going to, we're going to go there and we're going to support. But there may be a good amount of booing even for these away games for DeShon.

4:04Well, you see unusual timescale. Thank you for the call. I hope you have a safe trip and a fun trip. And I hope you bring back a, uh, Windick Charleston, South Carolina from the Browns. Usually I think that at least over the last decade, I, I think that crowds are a bit overrated in professional football college football. I'm still in. Uh, I think crowds are a little bit overwritten in pro football because I think they see us all as gray faces, same people. And I, I think the guys are, you know, weather is the same thing. It's like, yeah, they're all from the South or they're all from the West. You know, there's not that many guys who are just Midwest and they get drafted by Midwest teams. They're all big mix and it's all the same. But if you got a guy who's basically let everybody know that the fans are in his head, there's no basically about it. He's let everybody know the fans are in his head. And you got your own fans down there. And I'm saying to you, like, Cale's one, I know I'm in a vast minority. So it's me, Cale and Coach Lance who are picking the Browns. And again, there's people who are picking against the Browns who are Browns fans and they

5:06want it to go badly. So are you going to have people down there in Jacksonville? Remember, I didn't think they'd go to a preseason game to boo the quarterback. And I was wrong about that. Are they going to go to a game in Jacksonville when they're already living in Florida to boo the quarterback? They vary what made well. Well, it's one thing to go into the first game of the year and act like, hey, everything's fine. I got all that bad stuff out of my system. Yeah, that's what Todd Monkin told us earlier in the week when he came on the show. It's one thing to say it, but it's another thing once you get dropped on a third and 12 or you throw the ball over the middle. It gets tipped and picked off. And all of a sudden your team is down 10, nothing. And your teammates are looking for answers and they're looking around and wondering if you're the guy to leave the team. It's a totally different set of circumstances. So you know, oddly enough, like let's see, let's see how he handles it. I know how I think he's going to handle it. But let's see, I got to give him some just the smallest in the world benefit of the doubt. Let's see. 12, two years. That last time we saw him as a preseason game.

6:07Let's see, this is a guy. It was a long time ago. This was a guy that was one of the more confident quarterbacks in a league and had a national championship at college and was one of those dogs that we talk about as an NFL quarterback. That's a long time ago. Is that is that guy still in him? Is it somewhere in the recesses of him? I don't know. Let's see. Let's see on Sunday. Let me go to Walter and Akron. Walter your next up on the fan. Good morning gentlemen. Morning Walter. Go ahead. Unfortunately, I'm not agreeing with you. Can I think they're going to lose and unfortunately even more importantly, I want them to lose. The guy who is dodging all the responsibility that needs to be getting it is Andrew Barry. Every loss is a closer get rid of this experiment. I have no idea how a guy can make the loss and trade who can fiddle around with the draft and the third round quarterback and the fifth round quarterback. I don't know how I've never seen a general manager ruin a team more over and over and

7:08avoid responsibility. If you've got to go, I hope all those brown fans down in Jacksonville go to the grocery store and buy brown paper bags. Walter, I want you to stay here for a moment. Do I call him a bad brown fan? I just think it'd be really annoying to have to wear a paper bag for a game. That'd be one of the most uncomfortable things. As one is Andrew Barry, not as annoying as Andrew Barry has one function to create a 53 man roster and he hasn't been able to do it effectively. One, he can't get out of the zone. Wait, even when he's dealt a decent hand. Well, right now, Walter, it doesn't look great. They won eight games over the last two years. I mean, I can try to defend the last two drafts. Can I put any of the blame on Deepadesta though? Walter, can I please scapegoat Paul DeBedesta? Please. I used to be able to do that myself, Ken. But listen, he's been gone. The last two drafts have been good. You haven't hated the last two drafts? I heard this. No, I don't hate them. OK. The best player of your draft has his most special skill, Carson Swellsinger,

8:12is tackling a running back. Like, special guy touch the football or touch the quarterback. Swellsinger doesn't either. I mean, Walter, Walter, Walter. Listen, I can hear you out until then. He's a fabulous player. They could have done. They could have done way worse. I mean, we're talking, yeah, but Walter, Walter. You're talking about the DP. Oh, you're talking about the defensive rookie of the year. Like, we can, we can be nitpicking on things. And you may end up being right, OK? The first guy was the offensive rookie of the year. This young was taken worst overall or second overall. He was taken in the first round. This is a second-round guy to UCLA. I openly admitted I couldn't rip the pick because I wasn't watching him when I was watching UCLA, Walter. You asked and I'm trying to answer you. The whole run is the role the guy plays, who's the jewels of crown from the draft class. If the role he plays and I'm not taking anything away from him personally,

9:12the role he plays is one step up from special gamer. He's an inside-lying backer in 2026, 10, in sub-package football. Andrew Berry cannot say, yeah, I know, Dishonel Watson, it was kind of a disaster. Is he good in coverage? Is he still, oh, wait, hold on. They're all disasters. But wait a minute, I drafted Carson, Swessons, you're gone, dude. I still need, well, no, Carson, Swessons, you're in those savings job, Walter. And Walter, thank you for the call. It's not going to save his job. All right, but it's the second round there. It wasn't like he had a check. OK, he could have taken Tyler Shook, but they weren't taking Tyler Shook. So I only want to hear that. And I don't think Tyler Shook is the answer to all the dreams of everybody out there. He could end up having a nice season, maybe I'll have to reevaluate that. But I just think that Carson, Swessons, you're the wrong one to attack. And I will openly admit, that's why I can't give, I'm not going to give Walter the boot, couldn't give Walter the boot, because I will say, wholeheartedly, I like Andrew personally. I've been very critical of the job that Andrew's done.

10:12And yes, there is a big part of me that is hoping and hoping and hoping that I can use Paul DeBedesta, who I didn't care for as a scapegoat. I am hoping that. So I am voluntarily telling everybody, I'm putting my head in the sand when it comes to those two people. Carson, Swessons, you're isn't the only one that I think that he did well with. But when we're talking inside linebackers, we're talking coverage linebackers, guys who can make tackles, like I got Carson, Swessons, and he should be able to play well for me for a decade. And he should be a really good football player for me for a decade. That's what I need in the second round. Don't we even talk about Carson, Swessons, I mean, I just think it's the wrong example to use against Andrew Bair. I think chance to be all pro this year. If you're going to go after Andrew Bair, I think you just go after the fact that they had to just replace the entire offensive line. That's not a normal thing for a really good GM. 100% you could do that and you could say, well, what a minute Kenny, you've been talking about how thin this defense is and the secondary. Maybe it's a defense that could have used MJ Emerson. See, I'm giving the arguments against me defending Andrew Bair for you. I'm giving you a the open book that's something we have to pay attention to this year.

11:14What were you going to say, Owen? I just I couldn't agree more with Walter when it comes. Carson, Swessons, when it comes, I, yes, you got the best one. He's great. 20 tackles does not in a game does not win you a game. Well, but we're not saying no one is going to sit here at the end if his job's on the line and say, nobody, but Anthony Anthony, I'm so used to saying he's crazy. Owen, nobody is saying that he should say that Andrew Bair is job, but you cannot deny that it's been our opinion and it's been the opinion of many people who know about the NFL man who ran the franchise into the ground with the worst contract, the worst trade and NFL history, the worst trading professional sports is true. And go, well, but you got that middle linebacker pick right? I know that that's true. I'm not saying just one middle lineback for the thing that's ever happened in professionals. It is it is the worst thing, but again, who was a part who was also part of the swing in a miss and we thought we were going to get closure on it.

12:15And instead of getting closure, we're getting and marched out there on the field on Sunday. I get no closure. Well, if he goes out there and he sucks up the room and gets booed and he freaks out again, you'll get a call out there on Sunday in Tampa. And guess what I get? He comes back here and he gets booed. And then he gets booed on Thursday night against Pittsburgh. And then maybe finally we start to get her. I mean, I'm not using the car suspension. I don't know if I can make it another month. I'm not using just Carson, Swayse and Jura's defense. I'm not even really trying to defend Andrew Berry. I am openly telling everybody I am using like can we go to 18? I'm using Paulie Bideste as a scapegoat when it comes to that legacy. Now, this is a different conversation. I'm trying to talk about week one, but I what Walter says is the way a lot of people feel about the guy, but I think he's had two very solid drafts. I think he has to have this draft coming up this year. Had he not screwed it up so bad we wouldn't be talking about him instead of week one. The week one, I know you want to focus on week one. Well, you can't because if we're looms large over the field, we're going to open up old wounds.

13:18And fine, let's go right on ahead and do it. Can we not share a little bit of responsibility with John who shut everybody else out and decided that he was going to pick Baker Mayfield and then roll people out of the building as patsys and then have them give them false information. So they would sell idiots like me. So I tell people on the radio so he could smoke out the patsys and then take Baker Mayfield and then they give him way too much power away too soon. No, I didn't give to Sean Watson 230 million. No, he didn't. No, he didn't because when you have such a drastic, drastic pendulum change, when it comes to power, of course, then Paul and Andrew felt they needed to put it in there. Now, didn't they? And it was a mistake on everybody defending Paul De Pedesta. I'm not going to go. No, no, no, no, that's not a defense. That's not a defense of Paul De Pedesta. That's not a defense of Paul De Pedesta. That's an indictment of Paul De Pedesta. I'm out of Paul De Pedesta because then he goes to Colorado and says that he didn't back up any of that. Okay, it's so convenient. You only come around when things are okay and then you could just watch your hands of anything that goes poorly.

14:18Good riddance to bad rubbish. Not mad at you. Rubbish is still rubbish. And currently, where's number four? I'm not denying that. I'm not denying it. And the man that brought the rubbish into the field is Andrew Barry. He's still in charge. He's still in charge. Yes, you're right. So I can give Walter the boot. I'm it. Lime. It was my own browns. But you can't but you can't. But oh, you can't. I mean, of the list of grievances you may have with Andrew Barry. Carson Swester is an example. He's not an example to use against him though. No, like repets and five things the offensive line. He's not weighed everything equally. Can the weight of the Sean Watchroom outweighs anything else that Andrew Barry has done? That's right. That's right. And if he goes out there and he plays poorly, it should shine on Andrew Barry. And frankly, it shouldn't. It shouldn't. Hopefully it will because I need to hold people accountable.

15:20Does it matter to you that like a bunch of like the guy? And you know, who's going to get swept up underneath that? Who the guy that's starting him on Sunday, who's never coached in a full game? Does it matter to you that like a third of the league went after to Sean Watson? Like a lot of guys thought it was a good idea to go. No, because it's the it's the hindsight thing. I mean, I get where you're coming from, but like he was really good. Yeah. And nobody else. Nobody else said, uh, contracts be damned, money be damned. You know, situations that have never happened before the NFL be damned. We're going to do it. I think I'm actually hit on something though. A Walter was willing to say it. I wonder how many other people are willing to say that they don't want them to win because all of this and they want them done with this as soon as possible. And they could sit on them self strong Brown, Brown fans, two on six, four, seven, four to below 92. That someone could definitely get crossed off your QB tracker tomorrow in Texas. King Carmen Anthony Lyme, affair or not, it's happening on the face. I'm going to ask him that coming up at eight 20 this morning.

16:33Also, I don't know if you saw Tevin Jenkins did not practice yesterday. Not a good sign. So not a good sign for him, but it looks like we're going to get ourselves up. Maybe Austin Barber coming up on Sunday over at right guard. Andrew Bay draft pick. Well, now I'm back in. You know, you got to the point that we're every, yeah, we have, Andrew Bay has been in charge long enough that every player on the roster is either an Andrew Bayer draft pick or the guy they've gotten pre-agency or they've traded for. You do, you do stick around long enough, then the roster is 100% yours. See, this is the difficult thing. I really, I don't know why they ever got rid of Ray Farmer. Miles Garrett. Well said. Oh, Daffy Duck could have drafted. I'm just saying we've said that several times. Bring back Soshe. He's in the NFL. He saw as a job in this league, my friends. He had to go to the NBA for a little bit to get back. Hey, man, much like Paul D. Podesta had to go to the NFL for a little bit to get back to that. Get back to baseball.

17:36A little boy. 216474 to below 92. It's, it's not fair and we won't do it in this room. I don't think we'll do it in this room unless somebody is just absolutely overwhelmed tomorrow. But I do believe that tomorrow is a waterloo for one of these quarterbacks, probably archmaning if it doesn't go his way with a lot of Ohio State fans who happen to be bronze fans on the QB tracker. Am I wrong? People will overreact and a lot of them will not be as invested the rest of the season as they are in this game tomorrow night. You agree with me? Yes. Because we've been down this road before and I think Keith disagreed with us our boss and I thought that he forgot. Like this happened after the Ohio State Penn State game. A lot of people just went year up right off there when it came to Drew Allor. Now, who knows what type of career Drew Allor is going to have, but it happened in that game. And I think tomorrow, you know, you got Buckeye fans and their bronze fans and it's, you got 10 guys that I think can be under consideration right now. We're going to a week into the season.

18:38Darry and Mensa played yesterday, played Florida A&M. I don't know what to glean from that. I think that there's probably a lead 11 quarterbacks. I might be able with Miami's weapons to play well against Florida A&M. So I don't know what to take from it. But if he would have had three picks and would have been terrible, maybe we would have a conversation about Darry and Mensa. So I'm not going to use it as a knock that he only had to throw 15 passes in a 70, literally at 70 point win over an FCS team. But I think we'd look at some of these guys and tomorrow is going to be a lot of, just be a lot of pomp and circumstance. There's a lot of people who because, you know, Archmaning has been put on a pedestal by us in the media because of his last name. He comes from the Royal Family of Football and they want to see him fail. And I think if they see him fail tomorrow, there's going to be confirmation in there that we can't take. And he shouldn't be in the conversation. That conversation will carry over unless they like go on to the playoff and win the national championship or something makes a deep run. That game coming up tomorrow night, especially because

19:43everybody is either going to be at a watch party at a bar. There's so many things going on to watch that Ohio State game against Texas. It's going to be one of the premier college football games of the regular season outside of the rivalries and the playoffs. People are going to hang on to that game. Both good and bad into the draft. Now what's it do for Julian Sand? Julian Sand goes out there and plays really, really well. It'd be huge. I haven't seen, like I've seen a lot of people line up behind dottay morgue or dottay morgue is incredible. And he was good against Boise State. I thought he was great. And I thought he did some things that I didn't even see him do last year that he's grown a lot during the off season. I think Boise, obviously everybody thinks of Boise State's equality program. So when you have a quality opponent like that, even though you're playing at home, like I think there's a lot of things you could take from that when it came to him. I've heard so much more for dottay morgue and for even Trinidad Chamblis over this time that I've heard over Julian Sand. It just seems to be it's weird that I would think that it would be fish in a barrel and it has

20:46before uncertain guys. But I just think that there are so many Browns fans that they just, it takes them a minute to really buy in with an Ohio State quarterback. Well, especially because of Justin Fields. Maybe that's because you know, especially because he's not a runner. Yeah. That's a big part of it too. Like Trinidad doesn't have the size, but he can take off and run. And he's an explosive athlete. So that's a huge difference in his conversation. And it's why you know, anytime you bring up Julian Sand, he's also thrown a Jeremiah Smith. So it's like, come on, he has the best receivers in college football every year. By the way, Archie, Arch has incredible receivers too at Texas. And I think, unfortunately, you're going to find that out on Saturday night, just how good those receivers are. This is what sucks about an IEL, is that Jeremiah Smith, he's a good, seems like a good young man. I has no reason to make a business decision and sit out at season or. Yeah. Oh, you know, on the knee, just ain't feeling that great. I might have. Well, you got to give that money back though. No, but I mean, there's a way you could play it. You could play it up there. Guys who have definitely gotten the money and also kind of load managed.

21:48Yeah. Taking advantage of the boosters. True. Because I kind of just want to see a couple of games of Julian saying without Jeremiah Smith. Right. Right. To see without him on the field. Because it was like, I don't want Jeremiah Smith to get hurt. There's nothing we can do. Well, not maybe this is a game because Texas has blanketed. They played twice. Jeremiah has just gone up against him twice and he's been neutralized. Now has that opened things up for other guys. Certainly. And I think you're going to see us steady died of that bracketed coverage again to make life really hard on Jeremiah Smith. So it'd be fun to see a how Ryan Day utilizes him or prime days like, fine, we got other guys too. So you know, we're not just trying to win the Heisman, which Jeremiah Smith this week. We have other things we're trying to accomplish. Yeah. Goals. I mean, when it was Cardell Jones, Kenny Geiten, even like there were people who are like, we got to take these guys. So we were bronze fans. We got to bring these guys in and it was that way. But I do think that like Justin Fields and and CJ Stroud have kind of changed that conversation with bronze fans.

22:48Like CJ Stroud struggled last year. I still have faith in him. Well, you and I both really like Justin Fields. It just it isn't going to materialize as an NFL quarterback with him. And I think that that's kind of rubbed a lot of bronze fans. Like, hey, I want them to do well in college, but I'm not really sure I want them to play for my favorite pro football team. And I think they're still at arm's length, which Julian saying, at least a lot of the people seem to interact with our show are. And I think he could do a lot tomorrow. If that if we find out that Jeremiah Smith is just getting double coverage and Julian saying, it's just putting dot after dot after dot on other guys that not a lot of the general public know about because they're not named Jeremiah Smith. I think go a lot for the conversation about these Cubis with him. I can't wait. Honestly, just in hearing you talk about this game, like I know that you still have these other huge matchups in Ohio State. It's not like they're going to be eliminated from the playoffs. They lose this game, but just this quarterback, the microscope that they are under like it is going to be kind of fun to see how these guys operate. And it's going to be this huge crowd, you know, it's going to be the focus of the entire day,

23:50other than the first series for Akron against Robert Morris. By the way, the guy that's calling the play is going to be out in game day. He's going to be out of game day. When we finally say who's doing this game on the game, okay, are you going to have him in the booth? Yes, yes, we got him. I think it halftime. I say we keep him for the entire second half. Sorry, Ryan Kavanaugh is fully capable of calling the whole the whole game, but I'd like to have this offensive mind. You're doing the game with Ryan. Yeah. Can we find a way to apply this man with drinks and then put him on at halftime and get the real thoughts of what he thinks about the football program? Can we do that? Come on. Let's have some fun in that booth. Not you guys. Not you and Ryan. Will there be plenty after? Will there be a trick play on his series? It kind of feels like there has to be right? That's 330, all right. Yeah, yeah. Will there be a trick play? We'll more head allow it. I'm not going to be home to see it. I want to see it bad. Well, I have the replay. So I can watch it later on. Plus I get to see you. I always watch you on the replays. Pete Futech, one of the guests that I'm actually jealous that they have on other shows. I really like this guy.

24:50Here's what he's had set about pressure on Arch or Julian saying tomorrow. By 100,000 times it's Archman because it's a home game. They're owned too in the big giant games against Ryan Dan O'House Day. And they've only played five times and all five of them were hugely meaningful. Whether it was the bench young performance and the win over Ohio State, a great bowl game in there in the mix. Ohio State of Troy Smith set the cone for a season with a win and they go to the longhorn three. He's been awesome. And of course, you know, the semi final game in last year. You know, it's just played so high on set of Ohio State. It's in the College Football Playoff and Miami isn't. This is as bad as massive as it gets, but you look at the schedule ahead for Texas. If they don't win at home against Ohio State, this is another nine and three year that they're probably not going to make the College Football Playoff. If Ohio State loses, okay, fine. The Texas is on the road. They'll have to go to Indiana. Still some nightmare games ahead. The much tougher schedule than last year,

25:50but they're probably not losing two more games. And for arch, again, this is your, you're at home. You're supposed to win this game. And that's the show up and play well. No, I could try to do a history lesson and all that stuff and go, well, you know, about his uncle and you can't spell citrus without UT and failing in big games, but it seems that Uncle Peyton did a hell of a job when it came to the NFL. That sounds like garbage. Just because he's his uncle doesn't mean he's going to have the same Jeffrey Jordan didn't end up like Michael Jordan when he came to the actual court. So I see what archmaning has been said about him over these last couple of years. I know that there's a lot of people who feel he's overrated. I want him to work out. And he could do a lot for himself, at least with this fan base, because you remember when Baker may feel Beto, Ohio State, and plan of the flight, there were a lot of people who were upset. They acted upset. And then when it came down to drafting a quarterback, that was one of the reasons people wanted to draft him. Yeah, love that. Right? Absolutely. Good player showed a lot of guts. Moxie quote unquote, a lot of confidence there. Made up for the size questions.

26:52Yes, beating a quality program in general, beating multiple quality programs in general goes a long way, but beating a really big program that has an insane fan base that happened also root for the Browns on Sunday, can go even further. And Julian Singh can help out his case, because yeah, they're probably going to bracket Jeremiah Smith as best they can. And if he's able to throw it all over the place, I think we have a much more serious conversation about Julian saying, coming up next week, coming up at 820, Darrell Ryder is going to join us on the show, coming up in five minutes, only five minutes away. We go to a bout last night where the, I don't know how much the Rams cared about yesterday, but I loved what happened because it stops other teams from making a really stupid decision. That's stupid decision. We're American on the line. Today we've had a national crisis. Can't I have anything to do with it? We sort of all have a memory of watching that day unfold. It looked like the final, or the eating board of the building.

27:539-11 can feel like a part of a different era. It's not matter, Parker. No passage of time. I know, I know, I know. Can I resolve the meeting of this moment? 9-11. The day to remember. Never forget. Sports Radio 92-3-The-Fan remembers. So much can happen around the globe that we never hear of. I really don't give a s***. I mean, I didn't undo it with me. We name it with the meeting. I didn't miss it. I was just trying to get a sweet haircut. How it is when you win and cleave my man, I love you. When you lose. Woo. That's the way it should be. He's a piece of crap, the kid, he sucks. He sucked his whole career. I got a new person filed in. I could please the swiped, so now he's the force. That sounds really good, but I'm not 65, and I don't have the athletic ability to play in the NBA. Now the Ken Carman show with Anthony Lima give their thoughts on what you might have missed about last night. Last night may have been a fun hate watch for Brown's fans, everybody. In the second game of the NFL season, the overwhelming Super Bowl favorite Los Angeles Rams

28:56lost their division rival San Francisco 49ers, 27-7. MVP Matthew Stafford was bad enough for Stetson Bennett to see the field in Miles Garrett was basically a non-factor, but I think this might have been the best case scenario for the Rams. What the trade? Don't care whatever else you're saying we have. A one-the-trade champion knows for Andrew Berry. Okay, a little much. I'm back in. There you go. There you go, baby. Now we want to do one again. You know this. If people are going to call in real quick, John, I'm sorry. If people are going to call in and rip Andrew Berry, one of the reasons they are is Carson, Swestinger of all people, that if Miles Garrett is all of a sudden a lemon and is not physically the same again, you want to talk about a feather in the cap, Andrew Berry. That would, I don't wish these things for Miles Garrett, but you've got to give credit where it's due. Go right on ahead. I think if you're going to lose a game if you're the Rams, this is the one to lose because you have so many excuses. You have, first of all, it's the Australia thing of all of it.

29:57Like, even despite the fact that they went through and they sent out staffers to do the travel that way, you can't prepare for a football game like that. The 49ers did things the right way. Quite honestly, I just, I think that if you're going to lose a game, it may as well be the first game of the season when you're a 15-hour flight away. The NFL have a start to the year problem. Well, yeah, because nobody plays in the preseason anymore. So this is what I'm getting at. So obviously, the McVeigh factor has loom large. 12 quarterbacks can even play this preseason. And the football in week one, it's only two games, but it looks, it looks like not the best product for the NFL. Doesn't matter though. Like, everybody watched, right? Everybody watched the first two games. Keith texted me like a 32% increase of the last Netflix game. I'm like that. Something, something, now I know they kind of make up the numbers as they go when it comes to streaming, but clearly everybody was watching. It's a well-watched game, yeah. So does it matter? Can the NFL put out any product in it?

30:58It will never matter. They can water it down, they can add more weeks, they can add more teams. They can add teams in different continents. Will it matter? I don't think so. I... Why I heard John Groot and John Groot is like, you want to grow the game, grow the game in the states. And I actually... I totally agree. I think we're doing a lot of stuff internationally. It's like, man, you got to... You really got to do everything you can. And they've done some. You got to do everything you can to preserve the game in the states. Because there's... We have under a million high school football players now for the first time in how long? And it's been that way for the last couple of years at least. You got to get it going. And instead, they're going to other parts where... But they just don't seem to care. There were a lot of people there, but again, I think they were there like... They would have gone to... When soccer comes here, we sell out... Yeah, I play four games in a row and see what the attendance is. It's not the Savannah bananas, but it's a thing to go see to say you saw it.

31:58But it is for them. It is the Savannah bananas for them. It's not their passion, so I guess you'd say it. There was a concert. There was dancing. Who was the concert? Who was the Hatsuch? It's Jonas Brothers. Oh, it was the Jonas Brothers. All right. I don't know anything they say. No, I just know who they are. But I didn't know they were going all the way down to Australia and in a tent. You tell me, I don't know Jonas Brothers song. I believe you on that. When you say it about Taylor Swift, I don't believe it. On my kids, I did not know a name of the song. I'd like, if I were listening, I would remember... I go, oh, that's Taylor Swift, but I don't know a name of a single song. No, the one where they go again, the one where she goes, oh my god, look at that face! That's the one that I know. That's the one. The Pittsburgh pirates who took two out of three from the Guardians in July, they're helping them out in September. The pirates swept out the white socks and the Guardians are just a game and a half back in the AL Central with the three game series starting on Monday between the guards.

33:00And the socks, it's huge. I know you guys like to poop, poop baseball sometimes when we get down to the nitty-gritty. Poop, poop, poop, poop, poop. When you get to, oh, maybe I don't know. No, we just poop, poop, the points you try to make because they're silly. Okay. Because you overreact on these things. Maybe, you know, maybe if you woke up at a decent hour, you wouldn't have to do these things. I'm not sure. The three games. Was that watching the game? Oh, is that it? Is that why I was late again? Here's maybe the poo pooing part of it. Is that, yeah, the other day I said, hey, baseball should get things wrapped up before football starts, before Labor Day, whatever. I get that that's not going to happen. But the Guardians, you said, are closing ground. Right, half back. They've lost three of the last four series. And it's supposed to be every game's a playoff game. We've lost three of four series and we're gaining ground. So it's hard to get people to buy into every game is life or death when they seem to be going backwards right into the playoffs. They do need to win this series. According to Owen, they need to win this series. They need to sweep this series to keep that tie breaker. I don't want to say that. That's not what you know. They need to win the twin series.

34:02They need to sweep the lights up. He probably dreamt that while he was sleeping while the alarm was going off in the background. And I was calling him and he was going, a yelled cuss words, guys. A yelled. Which one yelled cuss words? Why don't cuss words out in this morning? What's your backstop to prevent this from happening? Is it the three roommates that don't speak English to come in and tie you to wake up? Could that would be amazing. And differently. Is it yelling me and Cambodian? How old are you? 24. How old is to be sleeping through alarms? 24. Well, honestly, me and High School, I'm not, I'm not, look, everybody's got their own situation. But in high school, it was me. I had nobody. My sister was gone. She was at work. Like I had to wake myself up. So what are you going to do about this time? I had a close call. And I mean this, and certainly this guy to my right, he's been on the ski trips downtown. He's been out to bot doing God knows what. And somehow, maybe those men's club last night. And somehow I was the one who's come closest to being laid here on this show.

35:05And I want to tell you the day that I was, I came rolling in here. Hotter's hell at was saying I came in hot. Inferno implies I was drunk. No, I was just terrified because I slept the night before. I came rolling here like 559.50 as Jeff was doing his update. And you the glare he had. I've never seen him that mad at me in my life. And I was, I was afraid to make eye contact with Anthony. That one of the years worth of shows from his bed during COVID, where the birds would chirp because we fell asleep during a few of those. So it's very an interview. You're never going to get any quarter from him. You really shouldn't do radio. It's never going to happen. You're going to do your cover. That's probably not a good idea. I'm not sleeping cap on. I did that. And the candle on the little plate thing there was a hole. I used to know because I did the Sunday night show. And I thought for sure I would wake up and I just did in the one day. I ain't going to tell you how fast I was going down 90. And I man, I was, I was more afraid of anything. What's it? It's a day six. Yeah, around that, around that speed.

36:08Don't do that. Don't do that. I was more afraid of you than I was a time harsher that day. That's a bad morning. That's it for about less. I don't even remember that. You don't remember that? Owen does. Kid would. Dude, the look you gave me that was. That's just, but I mean, that's just fresh coming from me. As late as I have showed up. Like, all right, we're ready to go. You were so mad. I could laugh about it. Now that was a decade ago, at least, but damn, that's a bad morning. John, thank you. He's well rested. Boy, I don't say oh god to me, I'm not the one to keep sleeping through the alarm. Now am I John? So mad at him this morning. Do I have to call him up and have like, do I, do I need to call him up and wake his ass up every morning now? This is having more than once and less than 15 times. But that's going to create a whole thing where he's going to be annoyed every time. And it's like, I care when?

37:09How? As the one that lives closest to him, I'm going to set up one of those mouse trap scenarios where I pull a string when I wake up and it rolls a ball all the way to John's house. It should. It rings his alarm. Oh, from back to the future. Yeah. Yes. Okay, we're Goldberg. Coming up at 820, Darryl Ryder is going to join us on the show. Coming up in five minutes, it's never too early to shop for Christmas. Yesterday, you could about a very popular browns jersey for a tremendously discounted price. Some way, somehow a lot of people started to draw some wild conclusions. Why can Carmen Anthony Lime will tell you who and why coming up at 8.01 on the
