WHOA sorry, I got a lot to get updates on
(01:41):
and a lot's going on. Let me jump into your
email for you. Tom Wrights, good morning. I really think
Rover was duped by that Baseball article on Monday. That
video looks like it's AI generated the cacophony of multiple
voices at once, all of the random movement in the video.
(02:05):
Are we sure that's not AI? Were you duped? I
don't think I was do This is the this is
the the youth baseball game, I think is what he's
talking about, right, Yeah, this is the video of the
kid throwing the throwing the baseball into the opposing dugout. Yeah.
(02:30):
I don't see any indication of this being AI anywhere.
Where's where's the AI? I don't I don't see anything.
There is some sort of weird.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Uh can you bring the music bed when you're playing
video and bring the music bed down?
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Well, just because he told me to? No, you know what,
I do things the way you do. If somebody to
do the opposite, I'm a pro. That's dougy attitude. Somebody
tells you something, you just purposely do the opposite.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
So I want to take a few lessons from me.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
I'm sorry, what's that? You can't hear you over this music? Bad?
So I think that I I don't know what the
guy's talking about. Now, that's a that's a real story.
Let's see here, Patrick writes Rover love the show, Cly.
(03:22):
I'm writing this today. I listened to the replay and
I'm behind. Did you get your AC fixed? I can't
believe you're still having issues. I know you said you
would fly your father in law down to look at it.
I've done h VAC for fifteen years since Florida tech
seemed to be incompetent. I can go down and give
you a no BS assessment. It really isn't that complicated.
(03:43):
Love you guys, Patrick, thank you for the offer that
was indeed fixed in in Florida.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
And in back home, No, not here, now here. You
still don't have your air fixed here in Ohio.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
There's it's a little to me, it's a little chilly
outside and so it's not really it's going to be
a conditioning weather yet.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
But upper eighties this weekend, Well maybe we.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Need to buy that. But it's really not the air conditioning.
What it is is it's a it's a blower issue
on the furnace, That's what seems to be the problem.
That and allegedly two cracked heat exchangers, one in each furnace.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Is that what the people came out and said, yes, Yes,
that's what they So they're waiting for you to say
to pull the trigger.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Well, I'm waiting for I'm getting some quotes from some
various places on this so far. They're pretty expensive no credit. Yeah, yes,
I don't know what's going on. I'm in the wrong business.
I need to get into HVAC. Jeffrey, if you have
(04:53):
any advice for your son, tell him to get into HVAC.
He's kind of interested with those ceiling fans, sort of
long the same thing. You know, it's a little bit
of training. Maybe he could earn a good living. Yeah,
I mean, but ceiling fans are his forte. What does
he make on ceiling fans? Nothing? Forta should be making money, right, Yeah, yeah, exactly.
(05:19):
The ceiling fans for free are his forte.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
And then you end up walking into them and break
your nose.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Yeah yeah. Imagine having a ceiling fan in your house
so low that you can walk into it and it
hits you literally right between the eyes. Just think about
that for a second. That at that point is when
you rip every ceiling fan out of the house.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Oh yeah, but if you're six foot tall, it makes
a little more sense. Jeffrey's so short and he's still
getting hit in the face of the ceiling fan.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
It's waste level for a lot of people. Josh right,
you are over. I'm late with this, But not one
of you guys who said those people should have given
the little beggar kid some food would have gone up
to someone's house like that when you were kids. You're
(06:13):
just reacting to that how you are, because that's what
is expected. That kid is bold as f and ignorant.
I'm with Rover. I wouldn't have given him more than
a snack sized bag of chips. If that, Yeah, I
almost say I wouldn't have even given them that. Frank,
you're selfish. No, I mean that is some balls to
(06:35):
just go up to a random stranger's house. He hears
the neighbor's house allegedly we're not even sure is the
kid that's even live in the neighborhood, We don't know,
and he goes up to their house, rings the doorbell.
He smells them cooking in the backyard and is like, hey,
can I get Can I get some food? How about
a hamburger or some ribs? And they're like, we haven't
(06:57):
even finished cooking. We just put it on we haven't
eaten yet. What are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Come back in like twenty minutes.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
I'll have some food for you, okay, old, twenty minutes
and in the meantime you called child services. No here,
take it away.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
I'm not going I'll take care of you.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Oh no, you're insane. Okay, And Matt says, why is
Dougy so upset over those people giving a cheeto the kid?
Cheetos over barbecue? Groceries are expensive? Those people had enough
food to only feed their family. They don't know that kid,
but they gave them something to eat all the same.
(07:32):
They could have been racist and rude to the kid,
but no, they offer junk food. Not everyone can afford
to feed everyone in this day and age.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Why do we have to be racist? Might have to
be racist to a kid you don't know like their story,
You don't know the race of the people cooking. Why
does race even have.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
To be rush saw the video?
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Were the people in the video?
Speaker 3 (07:54):
No? No, it's a little black boy, So you're going
to now be racist to them?
Speaker 1 (07:58):
No, I'm not saying that. This guy said they couldn't,
but they weren't. They weren't. They were nice and accommodating.
They gave him a bag of Cheetos or something. Let's see, yeah, uh,
you're over. Jeffrey is being so picky about a new fridge.
(08:22):
He could have easily gone on marketplace and got a
refurbished one or fairly new one way cheaper. There's a
scratch in dent place in East Lake that sells new
slightly damaged appliances about a new fridge that had a
scratch on the side for two hundred and seventy nine bucks.
It works great, it comes with a factory warranty. The
fact that this guy walks into situations so blind blows
(08:44):
my mind. Welcome to reality, Jeffrey, where things actually cost you,
and those ten thousand dollars tax refunds are a thing
of the pass by the way, Stop giving him everything.
If he needs a car, he can figure it out.
Stop holding his hand. I think he dropped his car
over a curb or something and damaged it. Who knows
(09:06):
what he did. I mean, he's always hitting something. But
did you what does your landlord have to say about
your refrigerator yesterday? I didn't call him yesterday? Oh why not?
Speaker 2 (09:21):
So recapt for people that don't know, like Crystal was gone.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Yes, Jeffrey's a fridge. Jeffrey lives in an apartment. His
refrigerator broke. Instead of contacting the landlord to see if
the landlord does it come under their responsibility, he just
goes out and buys new fridge.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
And then.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
When the people come to deliver it, he doesn't have
them take out the old ones. So now he has
an old fridge in his kitchen unless he sold it yesterday.
His son was quick to go online yesterday and tried
to sell that fridge for one hundred and fifty dollars.
That doesn't work at all. But was he able to
(10:07):
sell that fridge yet?
Speaker 6 (10:09):
My son last night told me that he and somebody
I guess reached out to him, and I said, if
that person can haul out of there, then yeah, And
have they hauled it out yet?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
No?
Speaker 6 (10:22):
I think that Well, it was like white probably went
to bed. This is when I found out about it.
So I guess, uh, that thought the work in progress.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Who is this person?
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Did you?
Speaker 1 (10:32):
I have no idea. I didn't ask him who about
the identity of the person might want to fight out. Yeah,
I'm just wondering are they buying the fridge? Because they
want the fridge or because they want in your house.
That's what my wife's worried about. So my wife brought
that concern to him. So just because it's a broken fridge,
I don't know who's going to spend one hundred and
fifty dollars an haul it out on their own, right.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
I don't know why you don't haul it out to
the outside. If someone wants to buy it there, that's
to kill him.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Him and his son can't do that.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
They can it's not he can't remember what he said.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
It's heart it will kill him.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Not a piano.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
No, they're gonna get crushed. A fridge is heavy. What
are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Or then get it out of land I had to
carry this down.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
He doesn't live on the ground floor. If he lived
on the ground floor, get.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
It right outside of the apartment so they're not People
are not coming into his place because I, like Charlie,
I have a feeling people just want to get in.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Also without contacting the landlord, we didn't discuss this. Uh,
that's not his fridge too, and to sell. I need
to think about that. Yeah, yeah, I agree, that's the
first thing I thought of.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Why would you not contact the landlord immediately if my
fridge is broken, to me, it's their responsibility if it
came with.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
The apartment, and it did come with the apartment. Yes,
Jeffrey just doesn't. He doesn't want to, he doesn't care.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Well, it's doing the work of actually talking to somebody
else figuring that situation out.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
He'd rather just do something about it. More free money's coming.
What's what's five hundred bucks? So you're gonna call today? Yeah,
I got called it.
Speaker 6 (12:13):
I'm gonna try and get ahold of Today's tell them
what the situation was because I just could not win.
I mean, like I said, we had to throw away
almost all of our food out when our fridge went right.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
But at that point then you could wait because it's
all gone, it's all it's all ruins.
Speaker 6 (12:28):
I would not have been I would buy all dry
stuff because I couldn't buy anything perishable.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Yeah, so you do that for a few days a week,
even you go get fast food for just this little
bit something in the interim while you figure that out
before you go spending money on a fridge that maybe
the landlord would have bought in the first place.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
It's very, very strange, but again. Money is no object
with mister Larocke. I learned this yesterday when I gave
him so so Frystal has been gone, but Jeffis's car
is also not broken down, never to be repaired. It's
officially put officially yeah that thing. I don't think that. Thanks,
(13:07):
get back on the road. But anyhow, so yesterday he's
trying to figure out how he gets to the fence company,
his second job after this, after the show, and I said, well,
all right, take an uber and I gave him twenty
five dollars via cash app. He loves cash app. He
(13:27):
doesn't have Zell, doesn't have Venmo, doesn't like that, but
cash app he's all for it. He gave me his
cash tag and then I go oh, I go his
wait is this? Did I send you two hundred dollars?
He goes, I never said, you never sent me money
before or over? I go oh.
Speaker 6 (13:43):
And then I gave him a date and he's like, well,
it's a long time ago. Well to go, I forgot
about it. But actually the uber right was only seventeen
dollars and twenty five cents. Where's this change? Well did
you see that look?
Speaker 5 (13:57):
He gave me?
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Well, you just see the look. So so then I
give him a cash app him twenty five dollars and
then and then Doogi asks him about I don't know
how it came up, but she asked him, do you
have money in your bank account? And his response was,
this is literally I'm not kidding, this is off air.
(14:19):
This is right within ten seconds, five seconds of me
hitting send on that cash app, she goes, She goes,
you have any money in your bank account? And Jeffrey goes,
oh yeah, oh yeah, I have a shit shit, I
have some money.
Speaker 6 (14:36):
We said that if you want, you'll read I just said,
you just give me your cashag, I'll send you that
money back.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
How about that, I'll reimburse you. So he called him.
He was about ready to say he has a hit
load of money and does not need any money money,
But she took my twenty five dollars. He didn't say
that before I sent him twenty five dollars. But I'm
still I'm still willing to reimburse your for it. No, no,
it's your Now where'd you get that money? Like my arms?
(15:03):
You check? Oh I just did. I would be trying
to be more frugal with my money. Uh, you're spending
five hundred dollars on the fridge before you call your landlord.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
See how that makes sense, doesn't right? That's all We're
just trying to help you.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
You can get mad all you want, and don't be
all sour pushed today because now you're getting a free car.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
I just don't understand why he doesn't call us before
he makes any big.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
We've said it till we're blue in the face.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Yeah, yeah, And then I don't know if he's getting
advice from people, if he listens to people. Did you
talk about what Partney? Did you talk to anybody before?
I just my wife told me that the fridge was
on the frizz and when new fridge?
Speaker 2 (15:42):
When did she say that?
Speaker 6 (15:43):
Huh about about almost almost a week ago. It's just
the fridge started to go on the frizz on the frizz, okay.
And at that point I wasn't sure if h I
know the fridge KBA department. I wasn't sure if I
want to, you know, call the letter because he's kind
of hard to get a hold of. Sometimes he just
leave a voice. Did she panicked, you know, because you know,
like we had food?
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Well, she panicked, but did you leave him a voicemail? No,
leave a voice back? I thought, I don't know what
she panicked about because he never called the guy. Yeah,
I gotta I gotta leave my voice goes, Hey, look,
got to replace the.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Fridge like after a just try to text them or
leave him a voicemail or try to call them and
just say hey, I have a quick question for you.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Yeah, all right, all right, thank you. Can you have
a turn that fridge he bought?
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Though?
Speaker 1 (16:27):
That's oh, that's you can't. I think he's turn a fridge.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
I honestly.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
What it's already bought. It's in there, it's take it
off the rent.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Yeah, yeah, Actually he's a good idea, But I mean
he's kind of lost us. No, No, there's still hope.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
We have hope.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
He's got to pay June rent. So that's a good idea.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Snitz's rent has already been paid. Yeah, it's a.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Big feet is that everyone pays on the first.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Sorry it's about eighteen point three qubic feet. Is it
big enough for the three of you to live in
in case, in case you have to move out, because
you could take that fridge with you. That could be
your home. They still they leave you the cardboard box.
You're saying, yeah, no, whatever Brian writes, you're over. I'm
(17:20):
not sure if this is a strange coincidence, but did
Jeffrey ever tell the story of how he named his son?
I started rewatching the television show twenty four, and in
season four, episode one, there was a character of a
terrorist with a strikingly similar name. I put a clip
below to illustrate the.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Name me number twenty four with Keifer Sutherland.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
The clip, too, guy sent doesn't include anybody saying that name. Oh, oh, okay, Well,
I guess then the clip that he sent is just
that character. I did a double take the first time
they said his name. Oh. The episode aired in two
thousand and five. Seems right around the right timeline. Could
(18:08):
Jeffrey have named his son after a mispronunciation of this
character's name, which was Tomas sharrek.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
What year was tomash born?
Speaker 6 (18:26):
It's pronounced It's the correct pronunci is Toomasarin and he
was born in two thousand and two.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Okay, so this came out a little bit after he
was There's a lot of the guy.
Speaker 6 (18:36):
There's a lot of men in my wife's my wife's
sided family with the name Thomas. So we figured out
the we found out the Irish pronunciation the way they
would say in Ireland, and it's also common in Germany.
It's a common name in Germany, and then some other
you know, European countries. And that was what was my wife,
(18:58):
That was my wife's mom. That that sounds kind of Europeated,
but it's it's the name that kind of stands out to.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Your wife's mom named your son. Well, she she gave
us the idea. I said, that sounds like and then
and then and then when we and then we see
it was one piece of work that mother.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
She.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
I mean, it takes it upon themselves the name their
mom interlope in a lot in a lot. Yeah, let's
put it that way. All I could say is that
it's it's it's an.
Speaker 6 (19:28):
Interesting people say his name is interesting, and the fact
that it just sounds Irish, And that's all I got
to say about that.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Yo're over, b W says, I'm wondering if you guys
have heard the new commercial for the Alec Baldwin podcast
that's been advertising during your breaks. I have not, because
we don't hear the commercials here in our studio. We
just hear music that it seems. He's specif diffictly focusing
(20:00):
on Pyrone's disease in this podcast. If you haven't heard
the commercial yet, have Charlie or someone look it up
and give it a listen. His pronunciation and emphasis on
the word pernis Peyron's is creepy and truly bizarre. I'm
starting to hear it more and more during your breaks
on the iHeart app, and it's just so weird. Hope
you guys can find it. I couldn't find it on YouTube.
(20:23):
This is Payrone's disease is where you have a curved penis.
I only know this from seeing commercials on TV for this.
A gonzo Yeah, yep, I don't know do we have this?
Speaker 5 (20:39):
Do we have this?
Speaker 1 (20:40):
God looking not prony ism? Am I wrong? I don't
know how do you spell it? I have no idea.
I've heard it. Add I think p e y I
believe that would be pay right all right. In fact, yes,
according to the AO Clinic, pay row knees is the
(21:03):
pronunciation like peyoti. Correct. There's one thing I know. It's pronunciations.
That's pronunciations, pronunciations. Huh uh, Carol. But Uh, I cannot
possibly be more disgusted than I am right now. If
(21:27):
it was not for the show, Jeffrey would be living
in a box on the street. He's nothing but a
money grubber.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
Give it up.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
So sad that he wasn't willing to take it the
first time. Yes, we voted for Charlie. We will not
give a dime to Jeffery. He is so arrogant about everything.
But now he's willing to eat Crow. Sorry, way too little,
too late, she says. This is all about the possibility
of how can Jeffrey get a car? And you know,
(21:58):
wheeling and dealing trying to figure out what's he willing
to do. Now he is willing to eat cro. He
has no car, so he is. He did a virtual
shake shake shake with me yesterday, and that is that
if I get him a car, we can wrap the
entire car with a with a vinyl wrap, you know
(22:18):
they wrap cars like that, and we can put whatever
we want on there. One graphic will look on the
side the driver's side door. It will be the bottom
half of a guy sitting on a toilet, So that
then when Jeffrey's driving down the road, you see his
top half and the bottom half is sitting on a toilet,
(22:40):
and I think we're going to make it look like
an ASCAR car. Perhaps he's really that Actually, kind of
just talking with him in the studio yesterday in a
commercial break, that really seems like the reason he's willing
to do this. He's he seems he seems very into
making his car look like an ASCAR car. Even if
it says panis oil instead of pens oil. He's okay
(23:02):
with that as long as it looks like an ASCAR, Yeah,
because he doesn't want the plate to be embarrassing though.
That's well, the plate, I mean the plate. That's that's
I mean, when you said pooper or something like that. Uh,
that's again, that's a that's a sinal joke.
Speaker 6 (23:21):
And that's why it wouldn't really bother me as much
because you guys have besides been emphasizing that for fifteen years.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
So it's it's you know, Ryan says, speaking of license plates,
we know how much Jeffrey loves animals, especially puppies and ducks.
How about he get this license plates p U P
Y D c K. What do you think.
Speaker 6 (23:44):
If it give passed mustard with the state. Although I'm
not I'm not much. I mean, I respect animals, but
this for pets, oh my god. Yeah, all right, say
I'm just not I'm just not one for having pets, okay,
but as far as animal let's go, I have respect
for them.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
You like that, okay, you like puppies and ducks, so
you put puppy duck on there.
Speaker 6 (24:09):
Well, like I said, you had pass muster with the
state because you remember again, so it's gonna be some
wheeling and dealing with the state.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
R Jay says, we'rell over. Please do not buy Jeffrey
a fifteen thousand dollars car. I don't think you should
get him one, period. But if you do, I I
wanted about five to seven thousand dollars. Say good, Honda,
a Cord or Toyota Camry. Those run like champs. What
do you think the budget should be for a new vehicle, Jeffrey.
Speaker 6 (24:36):
Well, well, I paid four thousand for the Malibu that
I had that got you a few years, right, I
only got I got I got almost four years out
of it. The only car I ever got nine years
out of was behind the Civic that I had.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Now that that car.
Speaker 6 (24:52):
When I bought that car, I bought that car. Before
I actually joined the show, spent four thousand on the
Chevy Malibu.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Correct. I got you four years? Yeah, but how much
did you put into it over those four years? Laugh
it up? Tugi? What? Yeah? Do you laugh at her?
She has no car?
Speaker 6 (25:12):
I am struggling, rovert. It's called car maintenance, and that's
something you have to keep up on. That's the thing.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
And you know.
Speaker 6 (25:22):
But but my dad, my dad also said that if
I ever had to get a foreign car you like,
he said, try to go with the Honda or Toyota
because those, as he said, he'll agree with you, those
cars do run light champs. That's the properly maintained which
I tried very hard to do. Okay, to keep my
cars running regardless of the maker model of it.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
I've got to take a quick break. Our number is
eight six six. You're over eight six six nine six
seven six eight three seven, will be right back. Hang on.
No matter where you are in the world, remember you're
never far from another Rovers Morning Glory fan h Rover's
(26:04):
Morning Glory. I see that the Browns have made the incredible.
(26:34):
I mean they're so good at so good at personnel
and trades, said Drafts said, I mean, they're just really,
really so good player management. They have traded Miles Garrett
to the Rams, which is pretty much one of their
(26:54):
only good players, Miles Garrett. Now, I felt bad for
this guy last year, because actually I felt bad for
this guy every year because this guy is playing on
a team that is horrendous, just absolutely pathetic, and he's
incredibly good. He just set the he just set the
(27:15):
sack record last season, single season, you know, single season
record for sacks. Quite an accomplishment. But he did that
on a team that how many games did they win
last year? Four or five? It just just absolutely pathetic. Now,
he had signed a new deal with the Browns to
stay with the Browns, and he had to he had
(27:37):
a no trade claws in there, so he had to
waive that. So he look, he had previously wanted out,
and then then he offered him a boatload of money,
and he took the boatload of money and it's like, ohh,
I love it, I love it here. And then he
of course waved that he's like, please get me out
(27:58):
of actually wanted to get anywhere but here because this
team blows. But what do you think if you're the Browns.
Does this make sense? I mean, what, they're building a
new stadium. Who are they gonna have playing in this
new stadium once they finally are they going to have
(28:20):
half a team ready to go by the time they
get that new stadium built? I mean, this is there's there.
They are not anywhere close to being competitive. It's an
embarrassment and utter embarrassment. And I don't know, I just
I don't know if this is a wise move to
get rid of what his hands down your absolute best
(28:41):
player defense or offense. This is the best player on
your team. This is you are one good player that
you have. Man, Maybe they go, okay, we're gonna get
some value. They get some they get a guy in return,
they get some draft picks.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
You know.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Maybe they're always rebuilding. Any team that's perpetually rebuilding, you
what have you built? Where is this all going? You
always say that we're rebuilding. When when is it actually
going to be built? At some point never seems to come,
does it.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
No?
Speaker 1 (29:14):
A lot of people were upset with this, well except
for Miles Garrett. He's got to be thrilled going to
the Rams. Sure, I mean, these guys are contenders. He's
got to be absolutely thrilled to be able to be
on a team that's not going to lose every single
time they step foot on a football field. He has
to be ecstatic. He cited a gigantic contract with the Browns.
(29:39):
He was able to you know, oh yeah, I'd love
to stay, love to stay. After he said that he
wants to be traded. After he called to be traded.
But anyways, he gets a gigantic contract and then he
gets he gets traded. He has to be the happiest
man on the planet. Good for him, Good for him, Yeah,
because if I were a guy like that, I wouldn't
(30:01):
want to waste my talents on a team that is
so inept and so mismanaged and just absolutely pathetic. Imagine
being so great at what you do, but you have
to go out and lose every single week no matter
what you do on the field. You know, we're going
(30:23):
to lose. All your personal accomplishments. Yeah, they've got to
be rewarding. Of course, you get to set the sack record, that,
of course is a very impressive. That record I think
stood for actually I don't know how long. It was
a long time, so you get to break that. But man,
(30:47):
it's got to be depressing going out there every time
and just losing every single week. But you know, maybe
for what they've got in return, maybe they get you know,
they got a good good It's not maybe not a
terrible trade for the Browns, But man, I just I wonder,
(31:11):
how do you get rid of the best, if not
the best, one of the best defensive players in the NFL.
How do you do that? How do you how do
you go? Yeah, this is this is part of our
game plan. Let's let's do it. Let's deconstruct now and
then we'll rebuild.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Yeah, what do you think their plan is?
Speaker 1 (31:26):
I don't know if they have a plan. When's the
new stadium going to be done? I don't know. They
said it would be ready by the least twenty twenty
ninth season.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
But where do we play now?
Speaker 1 (31:37):
So we played, we play in the Lake Front Stadium, Huntington.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Bankfield, will continue to play.
Speaker 6 (31:41):
There're gonna I didn't play there until the new stadium's
finished because they still have a lease on that stadium
until think until twenty nine, twenty nine or twenty thirty.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
I'm I'm going off like wife, right, man, you can't
get a team together before you get a stadium together.
Maybe that's the plan. You think that's what you're ready.
You think that's a crappy team until that, and then
they're gonna come out of the gate. Twenty twenty nine
is gonna be our year? All right? Well that's that
is the game playing that I guess.
Speaker 6 (32:09):
But you got to remember, from from the time the
team was incepted until uh, nineteen ninety five, we were
playing in a scrap heap of a stadium, the old
municipal stadium, and they call it. I remember reading a
sports illoginated article when the Browns finally finished, you know,
finished their last football game, and the scrap heap of
the stadium, because that's what at that point, Municipal, old
(32:30):
Missispal team was already a scrap heap.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
But that's the reality of it. That's team, all right.
Modell has been pushing and pushing the city for a
new stadium for years. Need no, I would do.
Speaker 6 (32:44):
I'm trying to make a point here. We're talking about today,
not you know, thirty years ago.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
I'm saved. I'm saying, I'm saying, I'm trying to give
you a history.
Speaker 6 (32:50):
Ah okay, all right, Modell wanted to get a new
stadium a scrap heap because at that time the Calves
and the.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Indians got new facilities. Your cars are scrappy. Thank you
for stating in the obvious, my friend.
Speaker 6 (33:11):
I'm just saying that, Well, the idiots that Cat's got
new facilities at ninety four and our meldel fell left out.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
That's why he he he, he needed cleave.
Speaker 6 (33:19):
It in the balls to move a team to Baltimore
because he couldn't get what he wanted a new facility.
They offered him to They offered to renovate the of
the old stadium, but he wouldn't accept it. And when
he built the new stadium, the biggest thing he left
out of the design was adaptability. Where why don't they
just build a regular open air stadium, but then later
(33:39):
but then adapt but make it adaptable so they could later.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
On add a roof to it. That was the biggest
mistake that he Maediate made that roof. He loved the
roof from the stadium. He loves that. That that was
the biggest mistake that they made. He just he loves
bringing that up. Yeah, because that one. That was it.
Speaker 6 (33:56):
That stadium was not designed for adaptability where they could,
you know, build a regular opener's dum, but then later on,
when the money came on, you could.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Add a roof to it. Does anyone have a dome? Yeah,
there's a.
Speaker 6 (34:05):
Couple NFL teams you have dome stadium Snitz, the Vikings.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
The Falcon ass I said, does the new one have
a dome?
Speaker 5 (34:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (34:13):
The new one's covered, so it can you used the
year round? Yeah, so there you go, found my ass.
They use an NFL stadium they use about ten times
a year. James here on Rover's Morning Glory. Good morning, James. Yeah,
I just wanted to let you know that the Browns
are NFL's equivalent to the bankruptcy box. It's you're never
going to be built, just always always being built, never finished,
(34:37):
just always under construction. James, thank you. Yes, oh man. Anyway, So,
I I guess I feel all right for him because
he's got to be has to be thrilled. I mean,
it's just just what a bummer to be on a
team that loses every single week. How depressing that must
(34:58):
be for a professional athlete. Now you know that you
have a desire to win and to go out there
and be humiliated. A week after a week after a
week after a week. You can only put up with
that for so long. Now he's also reading that in baseball,
the Major League Baseball owners just proposed a salary cap. Now,
(35:20):
other sports leagues have salary caps, Major League Baseball does not.
And that's why the same teams just win every year
over and over and over and over and over again,
because they spend an exorbitant amount of money. They'll have
a payroll of you know, four hundred million dollars or
something whatever, and then they're playing teams to have a
(35:43):
payroll of eighty million dollars. Who do you think is
going to win? And so it's it's to me, it
makes baseball not as competitive as it could be. Now,
I know the players themselves don't want a salary cap.
They're vehemently opposed to a sale cap, because maybe if
I was a player, I would be too. I want
(36:04):
to make as much money as I possibly can. But
what they've proposed is not. I think it actually makes
a lot of sense. Now. Of course the players they
say no, no, These owners are just trying to maximize
their profits, and they're trying to increase the value of
their baseball teams. Now, other sports teams have increased in
(36:25):
value more than baseball has over the past ten or
fifteen years. If you look at the value of an
NBA team an NFL team, they've gone up significantly, while
the values of Major League Baseball teams have not gone
up that much. Partly, that's just people's I guess what's
(36:48):
the word I'm looking for. They're just not as interested
in baseball. It's just a fact. So that is one
of the reasons why they haven't increased in value. But
this competitiveness is also people are all right, we're sick
of seen it's the same teams over and over and
over again. So what they have is a they have
an idea like some teams, for instance, are paying like
(37:11):
let me see here, the Dodgers, they have a payroll
of four hundred and twenty million dollars. The Marlins, Miami Marlins,
now they suck. They're spending eighty million dollars on their roster.
So what the league has proposed a year, yeah, yeah,
what the team has proposed is to cap payroll at
(37:32):
two hundred and forty five million dollars. And you go,
hold on a second. If you're a player. You go, well,
that's no good. You got teams like the Dodgers over
you know, four hundred and twenty million dollars. Why would
you want to take two hundred million dollars off their payroll.
That sucks. That will be less money for us. However,
what they're saying is that then they would have a
(37:53):
minimum requirement for teams to spend on their payroll, So
the floor would be one hundred and seventy one million dollars.
What team doesn't make that? Now? Those there teams margins
l the smaller media market, teams don't sure, they don't
(38:15):
have as much money to play around with that. Miami
is a big media market, I guess, but for whatever reason,
nobody's interested in baseball. They're extra money. That's like twice
as much money. Yeah, well, they share all their revenue
and so you know with with TV rights and things
like that, they there is revenue sharing. But they would
(38:36):
so if you look at what they would cut the
team spending the most amount of money, they would cut
their payrolls by five hundred and seventy eight million dollars.
You go, oh my god, that's half a billion dollars
that players would be losing. However, there are twelve teams
that would have to increase their payroll. That would be
six hundred and seventeen million. They would have to increase
(38:58):
their payroll, so it's an actual net benefit in increasing
the total payroll spend available. Now. The players, though, they
are absolutely one hundred percent opposed to this because they
want the most amount of money possible. And I would
say this to you know, I think this is going
(39:20):
to be a tough fight because they've gone through this
in the past where they went on strike. The players
went on strike I don't know how many years ago,
thirty years ago or something, and they just they lost
a season. So multimillionaire is going on strike. Yes, yes,
well yes, they have a union, very powerful union, and
(39:42):
they go, we're never going to cave into your demands.
You can't bust our union. They're like the Bernie Sanders
of except they're all multimillionaires. But for the sport of baseball,
I think that it is I think it would be
a good thing to make these teams more competitive. If
(40:04):
you look at other leagues, some of the way that
they have salary caps and the way that they have
things in place. So the smaller market teams are actually
more competitive with the big market teams, you know. So
you could have a team in Green Bay or a
team in Buffalo that can put together a good team,
(40:26):
not just teams in New York and Los Angeles. So
I think for baseball it would be a good thing,
and the players should realize this might actually be a
net positive for baseball itself and if baseball flourishes, and
because frankly, we've seen the interest in baseball dwindle over
the years. Now they have made some improvements. I think
(40:48):
everyone likes this, this challenge on balls and strikes. They
like the pitch clock sped things up. I think they've
made some I think they've made some smart decisions of
baseball recently. And if they do this, I think you're
gonna have much more competitive baseball being played every day.
And I think that will get the public's interrist and
(41:08):
get people back into the into the stands. So I
think this is a good thing for baseball. Again, I'm
not a player, so I don't I don't have it.
Maybe if I if I were a player, I might
feel completely different. Yeah, but I don't know how much
they're they're you know, for the good players. I think
they're still going to be in demand. I think they're
still still going to be making as much money. But man,
(41:30):
some of the salaries for these guys. When you look
at baseball players, you go, holy mackerel. This guy has
a contract that is just out of this world, even
compared to other sports leagues. Teddy, you're on Rover's warning,
Glory of the morning. Teddy, you know what's happening.
Speaker 5 (41:49):
He I just want to chime in on that. You know,
I kind of agree with you with the baseball You
know how these guys gotta be for guy's shakes, are
really overpaid. As hard as I'm but to, nobody plays
for the love of their games during those archty anymore.
Speaker 1 (42:05):
No, But you can't say that in any in any
sports team. You can't any league, any sport. You can't nobody,
nobody is loyal to a city or anything like that.
They're all out for themselves. And honestly, I can't blame
the players. I'd be doing the same thing too if
I were a player, I go pay me as much money.
So when people say they're overpaid, I don't know are
(42:27):
they their their their talents are in demand, someone's willing
to pay them. So if someone's paying it, they're probably
it's It's almost impossible to really be overpaid because somebody
else would pay it. If your team isn't doing it,
somebody else will will pay that player that amount. So
but from a competitive standpoint, I think that they need
to even things out.
Speaker 5 (42:47):
You know, you know, the average working they can't even
afford to go to a game though, because of the
high prices. They keep jacking up because it's hard. It's
hard to you know, I mean bad enough. You got
their whole dollars park. Yeah, you know, it is really expensive.
As about Miles Garrett, you know, the guy's been a
couple of years, player, Defensive Player of the Year. You
(43:10):
got the shot, craickber you got all was called everything
I've got left is the super Bowl. He ain't gonna
get here in Cleveland.
Speaker 1 (43:17):
That is true. That's absolutely true, and I would assume
that to be true of any player. Your ultimate goal
is to win a Super Bowl, right if you're an
NFL player, that has got to be your dream. Now
you can have all your personal accomplishments, you can have
other things, you can have the money and and whatnot,
but you want to win the super Bowl, and a
lot of people they were you know, they might have
(43:38):
fantastic careers, but they were never able to win the
super Bowl. So I think for him, it's he's got
to be ecstatic, absolutely ecstatic. He gets to go to
the team that has a chance to win a super Bowl.
Speaker 5 (43:49):
And but you know, the guy that they picked up
for Miles Garrett, he's five years younger than Miles Garrett.
He is almost a back caliber I'll tell you something.
They didn't lose two. They lost a great player, but
the guy that they got coming up in his place
is also damn good.
Speaker 6 (44:10):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (44:11):
And they did need a couple of decent round draft picks.
Speaker 1 (44:16):
You know, you can give them all the draft picks
in the world. Because they make bad draft picks. It
doesn't matter. Doesn't like garbage to them. Seriously, a draft
pick for the Browns, forget about it. What?
Speaker 5 (44:29):
Well, right, they've they've had so many first round draft
picks and they've blown them off.
Speaker 1 (44:35):
Yeah, Teddy, thank you, I appreciate it. Well, we'll see
how it works out. Hey, what do I know about
all this stuff?
Speaker 5 (44:44):
Right?
Speaker 3 (44:45):
What?
Speaker 1 (44:45):
I'm not some expert? What do I know? We'll find out, Dougie. Well,
you know what's coming up in the shizzy New.
Speaker 3 (44:55):
York City funeral home is in hot water. Find out
why people are really upset and complaints have been made.
Speaker 1 (45:03):
I'll have the story for you next all right, we'll
be right back on Rovers' morning glory. Hang on,
