Hey, I arrived almost here. Are you ready? Just grabbing my shoes. That's what you said 10 minutes ago. I just wrapped a video call, uploading this giant file on my tablet, looking at my watch group and Nana's with the group chat, and of course, still lining up tonight's playlist on my phone. All at once? Yep, story of my life. That's why I switched to D-Mobile. They have the fastest 5G network. Okay, multitasker. I see you. Honestly, I never imagined I could do all this at once. It's awesome. Say no more, I'm totally switching. My post is taking way too long to upload. That's a sign you've got to get D-Mobile. So many reasons to join D-Mobile. Find yours at T-Mobile.com.

If you're the type of person who wants data, not assumptions, pre-new Vose whole body scan gives you a deep understanding of your health. Screen for over 500 conditions, including many cancers, autoimmune disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and more. Add blood panels to test over 80 biomarkers. And you've got information about your body you may never have had before. Work your scan at pre-newvo.com. That's P-R-E-N-U-V-O.com. So we like to ask John because he's a producer. And as we've all learned the story, you're a producer. Produce. And John sent his ideas for today. And John had written, sorry, I sent a poly-1, it's me and butt-lime early. I had to go find it.
If and when, well here we go. If the Browns are as bad as we think they'll be, at what point will fans turn on and munk him? At what point will patients run out this season? And my thought was, oh, he's used to us arguing with him about the guardians. He's not used to us arguing with him about the Browns. Because John came in after Brown's season ended. John, you're from a different market. You're from the Philadelphia area. You're a Philly's fan. The Philly's paid Bryce Harper what? $400 million, three hundred and thirty. $330 million. That's how a lot of my Wayne Payne nobody, $330 million. Okay. It's a different set of circumstances. $230 million. It annoys John. I can tell you're annoyed by how patient we all are about the guardians. That we don't sit there and scream at vote over decisions. We don't treat him like you guys treat Rob Thompson or anybody else who's been the manager of the Philly's. I know he hasn't been the manager of the Mons. But anybody who's been the manager, I know that you guys are different there.
You play by a different set of rules. It's a team that can spend that type of money. With the Browns, they're very close. It's a, I've been told Philadelphia is a meaner, larger version of Cleveland when it comes to the football fan. When I do think that if Sean Watson goes out there and sucks up the room, you are going to be really surprised at the phone calls you screen on Monday morning about Todd Monkin and about this whole thing. I think it's going to be a eye opening experience. If people were done with Stefansky, one game in. Oh, we had a call. We had a call that we, a game we beat Buffalo and it always comes back to Buffalo somehow today. We beat Buffalo. Freddie Kitchens was head coach. I'll never forget. Six, oh three. First call of the box that we're loaded in. Josh Owens out there. I think it was this rookie year played like garbage that day. It might have been year two, but he was really all over the plate and played like garbage. We used all over the place. We beat Buffalo.
First call of the box was about firing Freddie Kitchens. Uh, first call. Do you remember the San Francisco game when they made the playoffs and PJ Walker went up against San Francisco right here at the stadium? That's right. Yeah. So somehow gutted away to a victory. First call out of the gates. Stefansky has to go. The Tampa Bay or not Tampa, the Tennessee game where Deshan Watts who went on boot and tripped. And we still won that game into Sean Watson look good in that game. First call of the box out of that game is about fire and Stefansky. Yeah. So it is a default. Yeah. No, I'm not saying it's unique to Cleveland. Um, but I think it's a little harsher here than it is in a lot of other places for that coach. In Philadelphia, they win super bowls and then want the coach to be fired. Well, they won super bowls recently. Historically, MVP's and they want the backup quarterback to start after two bad games. Yeah. And they're, but I'm never going to knock their passion. I can call them psychotic. It's a bit silly. It's just a larger cleavage. I'm going to come to that because they, they are they not, they feel like their second fill, third fiddle to, you know, New York, Boston.
Um, they kind of feel that way. They don't feel like they're in the same. They don't get the same respect that those cities get. I mean, not in the NFL. I feel like people think the giants and the jets are an absolute joke. I feel like it's more down. I mean, it's a sports market though. When it comes to, but I'll just say when it comes to sports, especially football, I'll take silly, but emotional instead of. Dower and act like it does it like I caught a little bit of hell for saying the Browns are going to win only five games. And it's like, yeah, it doesn't take a whole lot to be negative about the Browns. It's a hard thing to be positive. And so I understand maybe where some people are going with it, but I'm like, hey, I've been pretty positive about the Browns my entire career and my entire life. And I still think that five wins. I'm going to find silver lining in five wins, but there's plenty of people that are down and it's because of who's playing quarterback. And if that guy goes out there and he's terrible on Sunday, I'm going to get a bunch of nasty tweets and then I'm going to get a bunch of nasty calls and you're going to feel a bunch of nasty calls. And they're going to be really about me though. It's going to quickly be about Todd Munkin and Deshan Watson and ownership and all the
other things. I hope you don't have to learn that lesson. I hope I'm right. I think I'm going to be right. I'm not going to guarantee it. I hope you don't have to learn that lesson right now. But someday, you'll see. You'll see John Diana Rucini says in her next job, she's going to spill the beans. So she's going to be doing what? This is our daddy like podcast. What is she going to be doing? I got to ask you, I don't mean to pry into marriages here, but like, there's her husband have no backbone whatsoever. I figured things were going just from a gossip perspective. I figured things were going okay that they were still together, that they were photographed together. Well, yeah. And like, hey, if you believe in forgiveness and you guys can work through God bless you, God bless you. But you're going to, it sounds like, okay, if I get a job, if you hire me, you're going to get the inside dope of what went down in a alleged affair between me and an NFL head coach. Should Mike Rable be worried about this?
I don't know if it's top of mind, but I bet it's going to be top of mind real soon. She gets John about Drake May more and then right after that, well, the Patriots approving this, the Patriots approving they put up with a lot, if it means winning. So yeah, I'd be much more worried about Drake May than I would about Diana Rucini if I were Mike Rable, but man, if I were husband, Lord, I'll mind. We wondered if the flow of information was going to continue to trick a lot, seemed like every day there was a new photograph, a new story, a new picture of them in, you know, a cafe. Okay, she has all the information on their relationship. So if he was manipulating to try to win trades or drafts or having information, like she has all the information, I get that, but again, I'm looking at it. If she, if I were in a relationship with her and you were sticking a microphone and talking about her with another guy allegedly, not going to make me and the family feel very good, trying to get through this together, not trying to keep reliving it.
The good thing is her kids will never have to hear about this. Never have to worry. Take that into consideration as well. All right, we're back tomorrow and no, we will no longer be talking about Snoop ever again. Hey, sounds good. Where's your ride to rise now? Cool, I got on the way, show. Oh, bye. Hey, our ride's almost here. Are you ready? Just grabbing my shoes. That's what you said 10 minutes ago. I just wrapped a video call, uploading this giant file on my tablet, looking at my watch goop and Nana's with the group chat, and of course, still lining up tonight's playlist on my phone.
