[Assistant] It's, it's for you personally. Say you, okay, were lighting it up in college basketball, right? And the NBA was paying chump change and the big three offered you four to five million dollars to play in there. Would you do it? Cause they offered that to, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't just let 5 million just sit there. Me personally.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She said, this ain't nothing but the all-star weekend. All they do is come down and shoot threes. I said, blame Steph Curry.

[Assistant] A heart attack happens when the supply of blood to the heart muscle is suddenly blocked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Usually by a blood clot. Lots of people make a full recovery, but there's a serious risk that the heart might stop beating called a cardiac arrest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's vital that you help someone who's having a heart attack and call 999 or woman 2 for emergency help straight away. People who suffer from angina are at increased risk of having a heart attack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Johnnie's chest pain, often described as a heaviness or a squeezing pain in the chest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The patient is within a few minutes if the person rests straight away and takes their angina medication.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the pain does not settle, it is safer to presume it's a heart attack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you think someone is having a heart attack, they may show some of the following signs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pin in the chest, which could spread to the jaw, neck or arms. Breathlessness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Discomfort in the stomach similar to severe indigestion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Collapsing without warning, they may suddenly feel faint or dizzy. They may experience a feeling of impending doom. Pale skin with blueness at the lips.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They may have a rapid, weak or irregular pulse, sweating or be gasping for air.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you do come across someone with these symptoms, call 999-OR-WOMAN-TO-IMMEDIATELY and say you think they're having a heart attack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After you've made the call, help move them into a comfortable position to help ease the strain on the heart. The best type of position is sitting on the floor with their head and shoulders supported and their knees bent. Place cushions behind them and under their knees.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then, if you can, and if they're not allergic,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Give them an aspirin tablet, 300mg, and tell them to chew it slowly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Aspirin should not be given to someone under the age of 16. If they have angina medication, you can help them to take it. Encourage them to rest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While you wait for help to arrive, monitor the breathing, pulse, and level of response. Try to stay calm to avoid unnecessary stress. If they become unresponsive at any time, open the airway, check their breathing, and prepare to treat an unresponsive casualty. You may need to do CPR.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So remember, if you think someone is having a heart attack,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Help move them into a comfortable position and encourage them to rest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Give them 300 mg of aspirin to chew and help them with their adrenaline medication if they have some.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While you wait for help, keep checking their breathing, pulse, and level of response.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's how we help someone who may be having a heart attack.

[Assistant] Dehydration occurs when the amount of fluids lost from the body is not adequately replaced. It is mainly the result of excessive sweating through sporting activity


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hot temperature or fever, but can be caused by diarrhea and vomiting. There are four signs of dehydration to look for. Headaches and lightheadedness. Dry mouth, eyes and lips. Small amounts of dark urine. Muscle cramps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Giving them an oral rehydration solution to drink will help replace the salt and other minerals which they've lost. You can buy rehydration sachets from the pharmacy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they have any painful cramps, encourage them to rest and then help them stretch and massage the muscles that hurt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Encourage them to see a doctor if it doesn't go away. And that's how we treat dehydration.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is, it is. I mean, to your point, man, I don't care if it was the A's, the B's, or the C's. A sweep is a sweep. And you play, you play who's, who's, who's on your schedule. And like, I think that me and Mike was talking about it this morning. I think we need to stop waiting on the bottom to fall out and probably just accept, okay. We're going to talk about that. Like, this team is good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For me, the biggest takeaway was, man, the Cavs blew out the Orlando Magic and they didn't play their best basketball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And for me, I think that that screams scary hours for Orlando for the rest of the series.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I asked Donovan Mitchell after the game, uh, you know, about what could you do better, or what could this team do better in game two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he said, there's a lot of things that they can do better. You know, they can assist more. They can move the ball more. They can be more stout on the defensive end of the court. And so to see the Cavs come out and win in dominating fashion, they never trailed. They led by as many as 20 points. And we know that they didn't play their best brand of basketball. It tells me that I think both teams will play better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if they're playing their best, I came away from that game with so much confidence about the rest of the series going forward. Like, if you look at the first quarter, Jay, the Cavs hit five three-pointers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they didn't hit another three pointer until like the fourth quarter, right? True. So you, you end up with eight foot again, you turn the ball over 18 times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so when your shot is not falling and you turning the ball over, that's typically a recipe for disaster. But when you come out and you be that stout on the defensive end of the court, when you out rebound Orlando by 14 and you end up beating them by 14, it showed me that the Cavaliers dug into their toolbox and found a different way to win. Interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you know, JB Biggerstaff said in a pre-game conference that, you know, for him, it was pivotal for the Cleveland Cavaliers to come out and get off to a fast start, control the pace, and make Orlando chase them for the rest of the game. Which they did. And that's exactly what the Cleveland Cavaliers did. And you know, Mike has talked in the past about getting Evan Mobley involved early.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just to get the rhythm going for him, you know, to your point about this series is going to change when they go south. Donovan Mitchell alluded to that. He says, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Game one is cool, but we have to do it over and over and over again. And he says, you know, especially when we go to Orlando and there's no whiteout, right? And so I think that the mindset of this team, they're locked in and they understand like, okay, yeah, this is one game. We didn't play our best game. We know we need to play better in game too. But not only that, we have to be consistent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? And like you talk about Evan Mobley being Jacqueline Hyde. Alright. First quarter, as far from a scoring perspective.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. And so, I don't like that, but I do like the fact that he still found a different way to have an impact on the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not just that, and I know we gotta move on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so like when, like, and Mike can attest to this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Donovan Mitchell came out, you know, for pre-game warm-ups, Steph lost through on whatever song that Donovan likes, right? That man looked over at Steph, gave a bow, and just locked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you could just tell from that moment what type of game it was about to be. And I tweeted out, you know, Orlando was stout.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? He looks damn good and I think that he's ready to lead this team, you know, past the first round of the series. Like just his energy, his body language, how he asserted himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was absolutely bananas. Like, I'm telling you, like, they was riled up. The Cavs came out, hit their first two three-pointers, and it's like, they damn near blew the roof off. They did the first two minutes of the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For me, on a Darius Garland tip, and everybody knows I've been kinda hard on Darius, I thought Darius played a pretty damn good game, minus the five turnovers, but like, the way that he kinda like, was the floor general, you know, he played point guard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very well, emphasis on the point guard. I thought he was a solid floor general that ate assists, the ball movement, you know, putting his teammates in the right position, uh, to, to, to get a basket. Then he had like four other five passes that turned into assists. And so I thought he asserted himself very well. And you know, I've been big on,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All I ever wanted to see was Darius Garland assert himself on a consistent basis. And that don't always mean shooting and scoring a basketball, but just.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How he played, right, like just the feel for the game, the timely passing, the getting his teammates involved, seemed like he made the correct basketball play more often than not. And then to put him to drill that three-pointer, like late in the game, and him to walk away with that big ass smile on his face, like, I thought that was huge for his confidence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To Jay's point, we know the man is capable of dropping 50, right? We've seen it. We know what he's capable of doing and games like that helps build the momentum, right? And if he can just continue to keep that consistency, I think he'd get it turned around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, to get his confidence boosted. I thought, I thought that was a great game plan to start the game. You come out there, man, and you hit those two threes. Um, it's funny before I walked over to the game, I was on the radio with Denny Cunningham and you know, he said that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For him, if Evan Mobley hits 10 threes in this series, hands down the cast will win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he's already hit two, I guess you got eight more to go. I thought that how he asserted himself early on as far as like scoring a basketball, it helped everybody else on the team, you know, as far as floor spacing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Help them do their thing. But even when the scoring stopped in the second half, for him to grab what four or five rebounds in the second half still have those two block shots and just coming up in crucial moments, like he didn't disappear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've always known Evan Mobley to be inconsistent when it comes to scoring a ball, but the one thing that I've got to get a man credit is credit for, ever since he stepped foot into this league, he's been a premier defender, right? And that is, that is huge for somebody that young to be that great of a defender and an NBA already. And so I never was really off


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Evan Mobley hype train, because I think that there's so many different aspects to his game and so many different tools that he has in his toolbox. I think that once we start seeing the scoring come on a consistent basis, everybody will be more comfortable about his potential going forward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I asked Mike this morning, I said how was the game? He said cold. Cold. It was cold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do I want to see from the Cavs adjustment wise to make sure that they come away with a two nothing lead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I honestly want to see the Cleveland Cavaliers kind of do a better job on, uh, Paolo Bancero.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that he missed, and I think, you know, the non-turnovers was him, like, really trying to, uh, get others involved and things like that. But that dude is a flat-out superstar, right? And I think that 24 and 7, I think that he has the ability, you know, to come out and be better this game, and so it's gonna take the cast to actually


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Put more emphasis on locking him down, making sure that, you know, he's not getting to the rim because, you know, he, like I said,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He missed a lot of easy shots himself, right? And the wrestlers letting people play most things that, you know, typically would have been a foul.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's going in his direction, wasn't, I know he missed a lot of free throws as well. And Orlando takes and makes a lot of free throws from the free throw line. And so like, they do, you know, and they did in game one, right? He didn't play his best game. And I think that JB Bickerstaff needs to go back, watch the tape.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't even know, Mike, if I were calling an adjustment, just kinda double down on what you did to make sure that that dude don't kill you because that's the only dude on the Orlando Magic that can absolutely kill you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. So when you say sweet, like, uh, like the whole series?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, when we talk about basketball, you mentioned this series going back to Orlando, and we won't have the luxury of having our home court crowd.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you know, when you're at home, that's when role players do they thing and they play better. And so another thing that I would like to see in game two, you know, JB went nine deep. I think, I think Meryl played with four minutes. Mike said, Mike said, you know, those first half minutes from Laverte.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I kinda wanna see more from, from our role players, right? Right. From Levert, from Yang, like, we're gonna need those. Man, shout out to George and Yang too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like yeaah, I think he hit and made one three point shot, but the cast was plus 13 with him on the court.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like, every single mock draft, if they get a wide receiver, I think they're gonna have to trade up because it's like, it's almost like what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Six to ten wide receivers is coming off the board before the Browns get there at 54. If they stay in pack at 54, I don't think they're going to take a wide receiver because this is why.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know we've been screaming like, like, JG, we've been screaming wide receiver, wide receiver, wide receiver. But the truth of the matter is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That rookie wide receiver is not going to have an impact on this year's team, no matter what. And even if whoever the wide receiver is is good enough to kind of jump Cedric Tillman or David Bale on the depth chart, I still don't think


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're gonna play significant amount of time and let somebody get hurt or they're gonna have a significant impact. And the reason why I say that is because when you look at this roster, it's ready made. Andrew Berry just talked about bringing rookies in here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For them to have little to no impact immediately. If anything, you groom those guys to be starters or significant role players.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The reason why I think the pick is going to be on the defensive side of the ball is because I think when you talk about Andrew Berry doing, uh, going about this best player available, I think all the best players available will be either on the defensive line or linebacker. I know a lot of the mock drafts I did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I keep coming up with the linebacker from Alabama being available for the Browns at 54. Now Alabama, I mean linebacker is not a big part of the Cleveland Browns defensive scheme, but it's also a position to where you really don't have a lot of depth there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so if you can get a young guy that's athletic that you can groom, and to have him as that role player, uh, maybe a season or two seasons from now, you do that. Because think about it, a guy like Jacob Phillips that they drafted to play a significant role,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just don't believe that year two playing under like the Kevin Stefanski system that granted us about to change with Kate Dorsey, but just year two in this organization, man, in this system with this team, I just think it would be a better season for him. Typically when we see wide receivers change teams, that first year on that new team for that wide receiver is typically a struggle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That don't matter. I just think, I think he's gonna have a better season. And I think a lot of his, his attitude, his mindset, like all of that is in the right place, right? Even when the season not going the way that we thought or he thought last year, he was still more mature. He was still more mature. He never really like he was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lock in on this thing being about the entire team. And I think if he keeps that mentality, I think this year will be better for him. Think about David Njokul, right? David talked about how he used to go into team games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, you know what I'm saying? Trying to make the Pro Bowl. Like, trying to take off all of these. And once that mindset changed and it just locked on all okay about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's get the Cleveland Browns to the playoffs. You got a career year. I just think that Elijah Moore is going to have a much better season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because this is the reality, right? Judy already got the contract extension. We both, I think we can all agree, Elijah Moore and Cooper are both not getting new deals. No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If, if Elijah Moore comes out here and balls out, right? Or Mario Cooper is approaching 30 years old.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are, are you saying that you're gonna just let them walk in free agency? Like if you, if you had to choose between, okay, if Elijah Moore balls out this year, right? And they both free agency.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not saying I'm letting Omari Cooper walk. All I'm saying is all things equal and you know Omari is approaching that, that age threshold to where you possibly have to move on and Elijah Moore turns out to have a pretty good year. Are you still letting him walk?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Omari and Elijah Omari, they both have good years. Are you bringing them both back? Uhm, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's overly disrespectful to put Nick Chubb at fourth cause the only reason you doing it is cause the man is coming off an injury, right? But if you, if you're basing this list,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is this off of what? It's for 2024. So you're projecting. You're projecting, right? Okay, even if you're projecting, I still, I just have confidence that Nick Chubb is gonna be back and I think he's


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's gonna do what Nick Chubb does. I don't know if he'll be ready for week one or not, but I think whenever he does hit that football field, he gonna be ready to go. At the end of the day, I still think Nick Chubb is one of the better backs, if not the best back, outside of Christian McCaffrey in the entire NFL. And I get it, he's coming off the injury and things like that, but nothing that we've heard


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Leads me to believe that, like, he's behind schedule on his timetable to return, and I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe it's just because it's nicked up. I just have faith that this dude is gonna come out here and he gonna boil out. I mean, to have a guy like Jonathan Taylor, uhm, and Breeze Hall in front of him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. If you want to put Derrick Henry in front of him, Derrick Henry or OG, I can respect that. You know what I'm saying? The proof is in the pudding. But for those other two dudes, I can't see those dudes being ahead of him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But everything you just said is why I felt like he was being disrespected because how well I feel like I know Nick Tubb, right? We know him, right? They don't. I remember the Pivot, uh, uh, podcast he did with Ryan Clark and him last year. And he talked about like, you know, when the running back position, the talk was you can replace Nick Tubb.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nick Tupper said he's always worked his ass off to make sure he can't be replaced. Right. That he's not just any old back that you can just replace him with. I remember saying some years ago, like, he reminds me so much of Adrian Peterson, like how he plays football, how he carries himself, like everything. And because of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How Adrian bounced back from his knee injury. Eight months.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I believe, I just believe this is the same mold of football player. I think this is the same mold of man. And I go back to the point of we've seen a medicine and technology and everything just continues to advance and advance and advance and advance, you know, and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you hear Andrew Gary talk about some of the things with Nick Chubb, it's kinda almost like he gotta sit this boy down and tell him to go sit down somewhere, go chill out. So he's clearly chopping that to bit to get back out here, you know, and to just get things back on track. And I think it's gonna be a solid season whenever he's back. I think it's gonna be a solid season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't care who they play, it could be the Dodgers, it could be the Pots, you know, Grays, whoever. But in all seriousness, man, I guess I'm just having fun watching. I can't remember...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A season where they got off to this hot of a start as far as like hitting the baseball, right? You know, it's April, you know, my cousin is famous for telling me man, just wait till we get warm. That's when they'll start hitting. But they're hitting right now and that's what's been the driving force of us having the best record in baseball. They're finding different ways to win games that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not really used to seeing from, from this team. And like I said earlier, all you can do is just play who's on your schedule, right? Now coming up this weekend, they go to Atlanta and then they turn around and they go to Houston. So I think by...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that if this conversation was to come up again, I think we would have a better understanding of, okay, is this for real or is the bottom going to fall out or is this going to be a team that, you know, is going to beat up on teams that's on their level or lower and then struggle with teams that's


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We know that positive affirmations give off positive energy and energy is contagious, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Steven Vogt from day one has had the worst World Series in his mouth and he has not backed off of that, right? I loved it. And just like Kevin Stefanski, you know how we used to talk about, he says certain things and now you see his team buying into the culture. You see the same thing going on right now with the Cleveland Guardians. This man has been talking about being more aggressive at the plate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep. He's been talking about this team being a World Series contender.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now as these players are constantly hearing their manager talk like this, that's, that's like speaking life into your team, right? You're not speaking deaf into your team, right? And then the affirmations is I believe this team is good enough. I believe we have what it takes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's giving off positive energy to everybody that's in that line, right? Because you look at how they're playing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're playing with a bunch of confidence. This is a bunch of young dudes that none of us really expected to be doing anything with their doing. I was sitting on this set a month ago, joking about Gabriel Arias and how Chris Antonetti wanted me to believe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, being in Arizona and being the guy that's always staying late. You know, when you talk about him changing the psyche of the players when they approach the plate and hitting the baseball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm talking about just the words that he's speaking out of his mouth. I think all of that is, is the reason why the guardians are off to the, to the hot star that they are because he has this team believing that regardless of what the naysayers say, they can beat anybody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's this video of Ellie certain around and he like, yeah, man, we got Ellie down here. I said, Jose and knock Ellie out though, if it came down to it.

[Assistant] So guys, The Guardian's home opener was yesterday. It was buzz of the town. You know, we were gonna lead with it today until our special guest. I wanted to focus on Tristan McKenzie for our topic today. And I have a question for Jason that I did ask him before the show and we kinda got into.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After watching every pitch for those first five and a half, six innings,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But normally every Monday, 3.30, Ultimate Guardians with Zach Meisel and Adam the Bull.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right. I got two more from them. NFL probably just realized even Uber Hello takes you at least, Oh, this is another driver one, my bad. Uh, it takes you at least an hour unless your hotel has one driver told me that the traffic is like that from 800 to 1800, which I don't know military time. I'm sorry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then he says, uh, Defensive Tackle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're gonna be talking about the NCAA final last night that I definitely fell asleep here. Hope you guys watched. Peace!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, just think how, it was so different back then, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, my dad, when he was growing up, he was a really big baseball guy, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that was funny because when you mention like the names of, you know, the people who have hit a lot of home runs, you usually hear Maguire, Sosa, you hear Bonds a lot all the time. You know, Aaron Judge now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All those steroid dudes, like, from my generation, we all knew, we knew the killer B's. B.J. on Bagwell, we knew Paul Merrill, we knew, even guys like, growing up, we knew Don Mattingly, Wade Boggs, George Brack, all those dudes, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just don't, it's weird, the conversation around it, and trading baseball cards was, I mean, that was like, I mean, I still got baseball cards to this day. Like, that was huge back then, I can't, that was a whole unique era.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a shame. I don't know if Stairway's heard it or helped it because we knew all the Stairway people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know me, for me, when I, you know, I was on the radio when the news broke. And uhm, I just remember being super sad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, for Shane Bieber, uhm, because I, I know what it is to, he's put a lot of work in, right? And he's, you know, one of Cy Young before. It's the highest level that you can, you reaching in your career. And, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's not going to be able to recoup the benefits or to get to a place monetarily where he should be at.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so that's why, you know, sometimes when I talk about money and I get frustrated when people say, oh, you're not worth this or you're not worth that, or we'll just trade them or do this. I'm like, listen, man, these people put so much time and energy and effort into the game and he was pitching so well and it looked like he was going to at least if he wasn't going to be here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At least he was going to be able to recoup and get some, get a big payday somewhere else. And for him not to be able to finish the year and to pay so well in the beginning and then get injured, have to have Tommy John surgery and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I know what it feels like to, you know, just have to stay, you know, for him, it's starting all over. Like, you know, there's no, there's no guarantee that he's gonna be back to where he was. There's no guarantee he's gonna ever pitch again. And so for me, it puts a little bit of a damper because I would have liked to see


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, Shane Bieber, a good guy, be able to take care of his family. It's not like he's poor or anything, but, you know, you just never know when you go out there. And then my thought goes to Tristan McKenzie. And I'm like, man, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like just to just get it over with and they would have probably been on the mend. Some of those things that go through my head is just because I've been through it before and it just brings up those feelings because I just been there before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm, that sucks, but in terms of the whole overall feel, I'm still excited about, uh, you know, the Guardians 7 and 2. And that's the cool thing about baseball is this. It ain't like basketball, right? It ain't like football.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know when you not bout to do nothing in basketball or football. It's evident. Like, you come into the season and you know we ain't got a quarterback, it's a wrap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Baseball. Hey, you knew I'm into the season. Hey, we just drafted a rookie. We don't got a franchise player. It's about to be a long season. Baseball ain't like that. Baseball is like, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me see what you're doing. Guys can have a year. Guys can get out, get out and get hard. You can get out and get, uh, you know, you know, start the bats early. You can come in and buy guys a pleasant surprises in terms of your pitching rotation, especially get some good pitching and you could carry, you carry over energy. Like by the time April is over, you could go into May and be like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This team's just different. So I still got a lot of, uh, a lot of enthusiasm for, uh, the Guardians 7 and 2. They got, got a good job on a, on a weight trip. And Steven Vogt's young. I like, I want to see what he's doing. I like how he's doing things different. I think everybody's still excited about a bull.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's going, now it's like, okay, well, now, before it was just like, okay, well, you're just hanging around, Gavin Williams comes back, you know, we'll figure it. But now, he's gonna be a pivotal part with the rotation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm like, this guy right here, his glove work is... Listen, Ahmed, uh, um, Rosario, what's his name? Ahmed Rosario. Yeah, you got it. Uh, Ahmed Rosario, he was decent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was, he was a regular run-in-the-mill guy. He'll make the routine play. But this man, he's special.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I'm just saying, we didn't even publish that. Like ain't nobody got no newsletters. I like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two names that jump out. We already had CineGuard here last year, right? Yeah. Rikki, I like. Yeah. And that's the last one. Trevor Bauer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Deshaun Watson was somewhere else, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we, we weren't privy. We never had them on a roster, right? We've had Trevor Bauer before. And there's some people in the organization that are going to say, we didn't like Trevor Bauer before all of this other stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, you know, you go back and look, you know, when he's not able to pitch the whole drone thing, that was, listen, that was crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What happened this offseason? Having a rookie manager.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For a guy, like I was just watching him on, uh, I was just watching him on a couple of the reels.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On these pitches, he's like a weird mad scientist, like, in terms of like, okay, how I get enough spin, rotation, you know, just the way he moves these pitches in and out is crazy, and his control and accuracy is just stupid too, but it's just like, I can't, I...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, dude, the chances of him coming back and being a terrible dude?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are the chances of that? What are the chances of him coming back being a bad teammate?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If it's me, I gotta, I just keep it, I gotta, I gotta keep it copasetic and keep it all the way 100 and real across both spectrums.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look, you know, he was not, he was exonerated of whatever, whatever it was he was accused of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I thought it was very powerful when he came out and told his side of the story when he, you know, talked about how he was basically set up and framed, right? Uhm, but here's the thing, given there's, there's other issues beside that with the same front office. If it was me,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like I would be strong enough to handle whatever and we just gonna work it out and get better because I think I like his talent and I don't think he'd be a problem. However...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And before we get to this, man, there's a lot of people out there. Listen, y'all gotta stop, stop it before we get to it. Anytime somebody says that they would be okay with a guy on the roster, that ain't got nothing to do with me. Stop putting that on people. Talk about, well, you just a condoning or a rapist or a pedophile.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, Zac, I was looking around the, uh, MLB and it's just not just the, you know, the guardians.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, Tommy John surgery is, you know, every year it seems like there's more and more of these. Uhm, in Major League Baseball, do you, are they thinking about it in terms of it just happens or is there any correlation to, you know, guys just, you know, wanting that velocity, working on it consistently?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, there's teams that, you know, you have guys who, you know, throw in the mid 90s, 92, 93, now they're at 96. You're like, how the heck does that happen? Uhm, you know, is, is that something Major League Baseball is worried about? Because it just seems to be a really big thing, especially with people who choose not to have the surgery first and did kind of rehab.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That put the nail in the coffin for JB. There's no coming back from this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, I just watched, uh, something on, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People talked about that back in the day when, you know, you know, they were trying to come up with the nuclear bomb and they had people would get sick by having like radiation sickness because they would just be touching, like it's called a, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's the tickling the tec- the dragon's tail. You should go look at it. It's actually, uh, on YouTube. Go check it out. But what would usually happen is people would touch it and be like, I'm good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then they get a little better and say, ah, I'm good. And then they just get really sick and be out of here. Uhm, this game is, is the equivalent of touching, uhm, what we would call the demon core. And this is, there's no coming back from this. Uhm, because when you look at it, it's just a culmination of everything that you, we've been talking about for years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, you know, there's this thing about, you know, with the Cavs, and I've always spoke about it, is, you know, JB.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the Cavs always seem to get a little less scrutiny than the Browns. They usually get a little less scrutiny, um, than the Guardians. Um, but now there's, there's no escaping this. I mean, JB Biggerstaff, this is, this is a fireball offense. You can't be up that many. You can't beat up, we have 30, 40 points.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and then just, just, just throw it all away. I almost said something else, but the fact that you get down and you get to the fourth quarter and you can't come up with any plays to get a stop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't come up with any offensive plays to scoring and, and, and, you know, kind of stop the bleeding a little bit. And then you can't even inbounds the basketball correctly. And I, I told people when I wrote on Twitter, I said, listen, man, you know, this is a fireball offense and I'm going to just be honest with you, man. You know, as a coach, what does JB do well? You, you, you got, there's no


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then they come out, oh, 51 wins, 51 wins. I said, oh, they done rolled up the, this propaganda is great. We're gonna run it back with the core four.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is why JB is a starter coach. He's a good coach to get young guys involved. He's a young, he's a young coach to pat people in the back. But listening to his press conferences, if y'all want to get on Stefanski, listen to his press conferences. He said, you know what? The Clippers kind of caught us off guard. How did the Clippers catch you off guard?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just think, I just, I don't wanna just come out and plainly say it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But there's a reason why LeBron James is still allowed to play in the league. There's a reason why Kevin Durant is still like, getting 50 games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why I respect LeBron. You know why I respect LeBron? Because he puts pressure on executives at the highest level.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Coby Altman got an answer for this. He got an answer for this. Like, just to be 100% clear, you went out and made the trade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You wanted automated trade for Donovan Mitchell and you didn't have no, you have no backup plan. Zero. There is no backup plan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I don't. They're extremely soft. I don't understand. They got people in there that look like they've seen a ghost and there's nobody to hold them accountable. And you running around like a crazed barking dog at these referees. But when your team give up 30 point leads, you're doing this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'ma, I'ma ask you big nutters, cause this, this is, I, I played basketball in high school. Right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there was a level, we had two football players, me and my dude Antonio, we played football, but we also played basketball. So by the time the state championship was over, they had already been playing basketball or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, we understood like, yo, they already been shooting, they already been doing their thing, we gotta come out here and be physical. Like, we gonna muck the game up a little bit until we get into basketball shape, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there's, there's something that happened back when I am, this is 98, 97. This is, this is around the time when, when AAU first came around. AAU first start, start dropping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what AAU did was it made people elite. Like, you became an elitist. Like, I remember people who would play in high school, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're not playing pickup games. We don't play games in the neighborhood. We play other teams when we travel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It gets to the point where I remember just, you get to college and you got a bunch of kids that is just like, they, they, they brother-in-law the drill. They like, oh, there's no physical play. There's guys that'll be like, yeah, let's go around and dunk the whole game. Let's shoot threes. But, but in total McNuggets, maybe it's just me, but back in the day, if you was nice, you played everywhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, listen, it ain't always been that case. I've been, I think I've been the biggest Kevin Stefanski detractor probably in the city. Like, I mean, I was, you know, like, yo, I was like, yo, you gotta go with the Joe Woods. What are you doing with TZ Tackles, Andrew Berry?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I like to do is, yeaah, as much as you can call people out, there's also times where you get an opportunity to see people what they're really about. And to just deduce it down to a regular, just a man to man level.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was at the event and I was watching and seeing how he was moving and he got a lot of, I gained a lot of respect for him and namely because of this. He didn't show up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To get his coach of the year award, right? His second one. He didn't, he wasn't at the event, right? And.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I'm like, man, that's kinda crazy. You didn't come to that. That's, that's weird. Like, most people, that's the pinnacle of the coaching career. And the fact that, like, people like me have always said, like, yo,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Coach Stefanski play calling his things he's had his detractors. So normally people will show up and get that award and be like, now shut up, shut up G Bush. I told you, don't even worry about what I'm doing. I got two of these trophies. You know how many people don't got one? I got two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he didn't show up for it. Like, he didn't, he was like, I don't really care. He got out by one, but two, two of these things, two of them doors. And guess what? He pulled up to Dajon Watson's opening of his story.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because he understood how important it was to support his quarterback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I got a lot of respect for him because he didn't have to show up to that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not only did he not have to show up for it, he didn't have to be on the podcast. Not only did he not have to show up and be on the podcast, he didn't have to go and buy no cheese steaks and take pictures with people. By the way, my wife was, I apologize, close to fancy, my wife was being a creeper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He, and he came through and said, look, I know, I know y'all like Joe Flacco. I know y'all like Flacco, but listen, let me be clear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Cleveland Browns organization is fully behind Deshaun Watson. And if there was anybody that didn't think so, that's on you. But I'm gonna show up for my guy. And sometimes it's just, it's not about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not about how, how much you do something and what you say is about what people do. I had a birthday party and everybody came. Right? Everybody, like, like, I mean-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I think that means a lot for Deshaun and you can see it in his energy. He feels like people now are behind him and now he can really let, let, let's go. Let's play some football now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this is the big thing I took away too. And a lot of people in the media might not know. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On this show, when we talk about, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Deshaun Watson and what he's gonna be, we talk about the ups and the downs and yeaah, I need to see a certain level of this, I need to see that. But you know the crazy thing that stood out to me the most is his whole family was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, he's, like, he's, he's that dude, like, on Twitter. He has a whole bunch of people that came after Deshaun Watson. Aight, that was crazy. And then Deshaun Watson was like, there was like, look at the soft flex. Deshaun Watson actually followed Nick. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, did he? Cause I first, I'm like, did he jump over the center? I thought you couldn't jump over the center. And then they're like, but you can't catapult, you can't propel. And he didn't touch nobody. And he was just like, yeah, give me that. I mean, how many NFL players can actually do that physically? Not many.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll always say, you know, superstar is where creativity meets God-given ability, right? So you gotta just think of it like, yo, I'm about to get this. A lot of people wouldn't try to do that. No, that's true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, I'm sure, uh, Michael Parsons. Oh, yeah, yeah. He's definitely good. Matter of fact, there's a lot of people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every time I look at it, I can't still decide whether it's a good block or not. Like, some days I look at it and I'm like, that's gotta be goaltending. Some days I'm like, I can't believe he got to it. But like, it's just... Well, whether it... Was it goaltending?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen, uh, listen, I, I had to block somebody on the radio today. I had to dump them all the way out. We had a bunch of people, obviously they're not used to talking about women's basketball, women's sports. This dude called me up, no names please, no name please. He starts off the conversation like, gee Bush, I've been watching these, ooh, I've been watching these games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, I've been watching how they just out there moving and I'm like, okay. He's like, yeah, then I started looking at this, you know, that girl from Iowa. I said, Caitlin Clark, she, he like, no, uh, Gabby Marshall. I was looking at her eyes and I was, I said, whoa.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, I was like, that, some, some, I was like, who's that? She from Ohio.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I see you on Instagram and I said, man, these producers, these bulls. They're getting hooked up. These producers got some inside hook up. Well, I'm watching Earl on the Instagram joint. I'm like, where's Earl at?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A sport where it's predominantly African-American dominated. Like the best players are usually black people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you find somebody that comes along, that comes from the opposite, grew up in Iowa, in the middle of nowhere, but she comes up and she, she goes, she's playing on a team, just basically an all white team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what makes it so crazy. Because think about it like this. When golf was all white and Tiger Woods came along. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fact that Tiger Woods was black was part of the story.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, race plays a part, but the style of play plays a part, the temperature of what the climate was plays a part, and people being like a large group of people that are saying we're not represented in a way. Like when you say the best players are all black,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's not what I'm saying. I'm talking about people, I'm talking about people that know the sport. Even if you don't know the sport, right, and you just started watching because of Caitlin Clark, and you ain't never watched no WNBA, you ain't never watched nothing, but you saw her play, so some girl that's 11 or 12, she's the greatest of all time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You couldn't do nothing about it. It was levels to it. Like, I was explaining to my wife, she was like, why do you think South Carolina will win? I said, well look bro, those girls from Iowa, except for Caitlin Clark, they're gonna be school teachers one day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One thing that I really liked about Don Staley is she said, like, I got real relationships with their parents. She called their parents, she called their agents, she called their A's, you know what I'm saying?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I saved this for a Monday because it's usually Jay, G, and Earl, which are our 3 senior most Browns fans that we know. And Jason, you're older than Earl and G, but you're a crippled, cold-hearted, black-hearted fan. He's not a Browns fan. He's not a Browns fan. I had specifically saved this for you guys. And by you guys, I mean G and Jason's spot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, I can't move my neck, I'm out today. I've done stuff where, gee, I've been holding this for you, I can't wait to do it. Hey bro, I can't get out of bed, I took the wrong meds.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One last Guardians question before we pivot here to the Cavs. And Earl, I want to start with you. We talked about the Power Surge. Tyvis projected them to finish top half in the league in home runs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stephen Kwan hit one, Jose hit one, but just two home runs in four games. Are we gonna be having this power conversation or lack thereof all season?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're gonna talk calves in a sec, but first I want to remind everybody that today's episode of the Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show is sponsored by Better Health.

[Assistant] What's the first thing you do if you had an extra hour in the day? Go for a run, take a nap, read a book, show up for a friend? Well, a lot of us spend our lives wishing we had more time. The question though is, time for what? If time was unlimited, how would you use it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright guys, it was an ugly Cavaliers loss yesterday. There's no other way to put it. They lost by 29 points to the Denver Nuggets. And afterwards, Donovan Mitchell had a few comments that I wanted to get your guys opinions on. There's two quotes, both from Chris Fedor in Cleveland.com.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the beat writer for the Cavs wrote an article on it. These are direct verbatim from that. So we'll read you the two quotes and then we can discuss. The first quote from Donovan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've gotta play better, no other way around it. It's on all of us. Starts with me, but we have to play better, simply put. We've shown we can do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's what's frustrating. Not like we don't have the capability to do it. That's a championship level team without their second best player credit to them. They executed well and they have guys who have won rings and been there


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if we want to be that, a 29 point loss ain't it. He went on to follow up that comment with


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, we're gonna talk some Browns here guys in a sec, but first a quick reminder that the second episode of The Ultimate Guardian Show is live today at 3pm. We have Bull and Zack. They had a phenomenal debut last Monday. Make sure you guys tune in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Live three o'clock today, they'll be reacting to the weekend series against Oakland, previewing the upcoming series against Seattle and Minnesota and getting you ready for next Monday's home opener. So make sure you guys tune in three o'clock today for the Ultimate Guardian Show with Bull and Zach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over the weekend guys, Deshawn put out his weekly podcast, QB Unplugged, and he was asked about the future of Cleveland Brown Stadium. And here is Deshawn's answer on what he hopes to see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With whatever the Browns decide to do with their future home. Ant play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And real quick, so that was Deshawn's answer. I do want to just mention that Brad Stainbrook one minute ago tweeted that Cleveland City Councilman Brian Casey has called a press conference today at 1pm to discuss the future Brown Stadium. The press conference is intended to keep the public updated on a potential tax, taxpayer-supported stadium. Just want to throw that out there. Thoughts? Ayer, I'll start with you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Should the quarterback in specific, or really any player, but the quarterback specifically, have any say in the team's plans for a future new stadium? Or is that totally up to the owner and at his discretion?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Took. Kellen Winslow. Okay, so it was Kellen Winslow. But still, I mean, it was still- He's now in prison.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To get in on the action, because right now, new customers get $200 in bonus bets. With any winning $5 bet, that's $200 you can use to bet on the tournament.

Jay, you alluded to this earlier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I saw some discourse on Twitter over this, this weekend, which is kind of what led to this conversation I wanted to ask you guys about. And like I said earlier, G Bush was, uh, kind of the intended audience or one of the three intended audiences I wanted to ask.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But there are going to be some people who don't like Deshaun Watson for whatever reason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Does that make you a bad Browns fan if you don't like the Sean Watson? Or I'll start with you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I just know G comes at it from the most, like innermost fan perspective.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's the first thing you do if you had an extra hour of the day? Would you go for a run, take a nap, read a book, show up for a friend? A lot of us spend our lives wishing we had more time, but the question is, time for what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What if time was unlimited? And how would you use that time if it was extra? The best way to squeeze that special thing into your schedule is to know what's important to you and make it a priority. Therapy can help find


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Help you find what matters most to you so you can do more of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you're thinking about starting therapy. Give BetterHelp a try. It's entirely online, designed to be convenient, flexible, and suited to your schedule. Just fill out a brief questionnaire to get matched with a licensed therapist and you can switch therapists at any time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We got one super chat guys real quick. It comes from our guy, Darryl, who says, if this will load, Darryl says.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brook Park, let's go, UCSS, the best, Jay, Jason, Earl, the pearl, love you guys, from Daryl, aka The Voice, so we appreciate Daryl. And we got two minutes. End time matchups tonight, the final four in the men's is set, 60 seconds, but uh, thoughts on the final four on the men's side. Yukon, Purdue, NC State.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so Justin Hardy, the Browns are not done in free agency. There's drips and drabs at this point. Free agency is basically over. Are there any significant names still out there in free agency?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's cool. It's important to you. It's gotta be very exciting for him. Oh, it's huge for him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's cool. So we're rooting for him. Good for him. Uh, is he about your age?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As made special teams even more important. It's interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, if you think about it, the Browns have a really good cornerback room. They can afford for their fifth corner or whatever to be a guy who's not really going to play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where'd he go? Where'd he go to college? Illinois. Okay, good for him. That's exciting news. Alright, Mike, let's keep it moving. Go ahead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The draft is still almost a month away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so NFL writers have to come up with lists where they're ranking people, whether it's quarterbacks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, if Dallas Robinson does a list, we gotta be on it. So I'm locked into a Dallas, anytime Dallas Robinson puts out some content, I'm locked in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now I think there's a tier two. Yeaah. Of good coaches who could become elite coaches. Like early in Andy Reid's career, nobody would have called him an elite coach. Right. I think Kevin's, now the question is, right, like, and I used Marvin Lewis last week as the example.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Bengals, when Marvin Lewis came to the Bengals, they had been what the Browns had been before Kevin Stefanski. A complete joke, worst franchise in the league. And Kevin Stefanski, and Marvin Lewis made the Bengals a respectable franchise. He made them a competitive team, they were pretty good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eventually he got to a point where he couldn't take his level of coaching, in my opinion, any higher. They fired him. I thought they waited too long. And now that's where we are with Kevin Stefanski. Kevin Stefanski has proven he's a good coach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But can he reach the ultimate level with the top of the list? Time will tell. You have to give him way more time to find that out. If it's five years from now, six years from now, and he still only has one or two playoff wins, I'm gonna have to move on. But for now, I say, once I know I have a good coach,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nobody cares about that. Whoa. It's all offensive right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everybody makes such a big deal about the play calling. And the only reason I've made a big deal about it in this situation, I've said it time and time again, is I don't want Kevin Stavanski to have his hand forced.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The offensive coordinator is, and the defensive coordinator, that's, so, so, if we want the head coach not to call plays, then what are they doing? Are they doing nothing all week? Of course they're not. They're a big part of the offense and ultimately,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In most cases, you think Mike Tomlin sits there and never has any comment on plays? Of course he does. I'm sure there are times when Mike Tomlin says, we're doing this. Yeaah. And he's the head coach. That's what you better be doing. So the head coach is always involved, even if he's not calling plays.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No he didn't. Yes he did. He was awful in the first half against Baltimore. And then he dinked it, it dunked to 14 to 14 in the second half. Let's not make it bigger than it was. He won.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, well, that's it, we're just gonna judge it based on five games. Philip Walker won. Listen, Kevin Stefanski, I love Kevin Stefanski, I think he's a hell of a coach. I think he is in the top ten coaches, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's done it, like Kevin's great with these guys who you don't expect much from. Or when there's no expectations with the team, Kevin comes through. But what happened when they had expectations the year after Baker?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The team went down the tubes. What? There's going to be a ton of expectations this year after the Browns won 12 games last year. They tied the franchise record for most wins. Everybody in Cleveland is expecting the Browns to go to the playoffs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we gotta stop with this. We gotta stop with this Deshaun Watson played well nonsense. Oh! Every single person who responded to the Deshaun Watson with his 4-1 record, those same people were saying, not his fault, they went 4-12 against Houston.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My motor was messed up though. When he was in Houston.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When he was in Houston, did he, did you, when you saw him play, you said special. That guy's special. He has never looked that way here. Never!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, now I would argue that Baker's best season was last year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. But Kevin also got the best. Got a very good play out of Baker at a younger stage in his career. Yeah, I mean, uh, well to answer your question, if


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If Deshaun Watson has a bad year again, and the Browns are a middling team, I would not fire Kevin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nobody's gonna care if James has lightened it up. But, that's only gonna happen if the shot is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One game. That he wasn't there for. But I give him credit for it. Thank you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, today on the Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show, we are going extra time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Usually we, we take a break at, we're done at one o'clock and then we come back a couple minutes later for our people that are paid members and we do an overtime segment from eight to fifteen minutes. Today, the show is going straight to one twenty for everybody who watches the show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, right after one o'clock we'll talk with Mike Theron of MLB Radio about the Guardians and all things baseball. We'll also talk about the Women's Final Four, which is going to be in Cleveland Friday and Sunday, uh, later in the show. Right now is the perfect time, if you are, have not


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hit the subscribe button to the Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show. I have no idea what you're doing. We are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so we're looking to get there before, you know, as soon as possible and we need your help. So if you're watching the show for the first time or you've been a viewer for many years, if you're not sure, everybody right now go look at YouTube and make sure you're subscribed to the show. We'd appreciate a thumbs up or you could be mad at me for


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Daring to say that Deshaun Watson hasn't played well, and give it a, give me a thumbs down if you want. But we don't like that. Give a, give a thumbs up. You can thumbs up Tivus if you want. That didn't sound appropriate. Uh, anyway, we'll keep it moving for, so, uh, cause Jason's mad about the, uh, the, the stadium. Yes, we talked yesterday. No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obviously there's no comparison between this situation and what happened in 1995.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] During the six months after such notice gives the political subdivision or any individual or group of individuals who reside in the area an opportunity to purchase the team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, for the greater area outweigh the bad for Cleveland. I don't know. I'm not an economist. I can't really speak about that. Uh, is there some grandstanding? Probably all politicians grandstand in different circumstances. Is there some


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] About the economic impact for the region and for the city of Cleveland, both in a positive and negative way. Do we know for sure? Like yes, I think most fans would want a stadium in the suburbs that's a dome. I get it, but how much does this hurt the city? I don't know. Does anybody


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But let's say they turn it into this amazing lakefront area.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First of all, it's not that much space that they could do that much with it. And number two, how long is that gonna take? I mean, that's not gonna happen for years and years. So I don't know. Again, I'm talking about things that I have no business talking about. Yes, selfishly, I think


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like most fans do, well it's going to be great. I want to see this facility.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, you're not. So, I don't know, like Jay was speculating, he doesn't know, but he was speculating that maybe, like that these bars might make 20% of their revenue in those 10 home games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so I don't think people are gonna like, well, we just celebrated Brook Park, they're gonna go home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want to know the truth. I demand the truth. I need to know something from somebody. We need to know the reality of the good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's probably some economists that have done these studies that are, you know, but then you worry are they paid by the billionaires to, you know, do whatever they, I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if, I mean. What if Cleveland took over the city of Brook Park? There we go, problem solved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't like what I saw at all last night. He did not look good at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, when he didn't have surgery yesterday, uh, last year, it was quite a big question mark and you worried.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love Tristan McKenzie, by all accounts, he's one of the most likable players in the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His stuff that day was a luxury. That was it. Listen, we all, the A's are not a major league team. They're, they're, they're, I mean, they're a disgrace.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I heard, I was listening to Hammy, uh, which game was it? It was probably, it was, I think it was the Saturday game against Oakland. He says on the broadcast, he goes, well, the Oakland people think the team's going to be a lot better this year. And I'm thinking,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll be stunned beyond belief if they don't lose Andre.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the Tigers. The Tigers is undefeated. And the Pirates.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they haven't yet faced a good pitcher, because Hancock's the worst pitcher on the Mariners. And the next two days will be very interesting, because you're facing two excellent pitchers the next two days in Seattle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a, it's exciting and a very positive step that a lot of the young hitters are off to good starts. Including Tyler Freeman, who Jason mentioned. Brian Roquio's off to a good start. It's great to see. Even David Frye, who I'm...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know why he's been in the lineup twice, but he's come through. So I guess that's why he's been in the lineup. So it's been a very positive start.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm a little frustrated that Bo Nailer sat two of the first four games. Zach is, you know, telling me he's, he'll be playing the majority of the time. He just wanted to work him in slowly a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the fact that they've hit some home runs, I think they got four in five games, which for them is pretty good. Uhm, and, you know, you got I think nine guys with stolen bases at this point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're a very athletic team and you've seen some good things for the offense. Uh, and, and, and I'm...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, is that sustainable? I mean, we're one sixth, uh, one, uh, what, 32nd of the season at this point, so got a long way to go. And again, you haven't faced any good pitchers yet. So I don't know, but the offense getting off to a positive start is good. If they had started 0 and 5,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the offense was terrible, we'd be killing him right now. So I don't want to go crazy. It is positive that the offense has gotten off to a good start.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, I'm not, the only pitcher I'm worried about really is Mackenzie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, yes. Now, if they're going to really be competitive in the long run, they're still going to need to get a bat, whether that's replacing Laureano and Wright, whether it's, you know, ends up being Kyle Manzardo as the first baseman with Naylor at the end or whatever. Naylor at first base is just, it's not good. It's not good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. Especially when Manzarta will be up and he seemed, at least going into the season, like a safer bet than either of those guys. Yes. Yes. That's a good way to put it. He's a safer bet than those guys. He's safer than me. He's going to pan out. Right. It feels positive right now. Go ahead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they should be able to hit lefties. Your best hitters can hit lefties. And the Guardians is just a lefty prominent team. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had his dude crazed. For his eyes up to the air. Uh, by the way, after I complained about Steven Vogt's opening day lineup, I was like, okay, let me let him be with the lineups, let him find his way. It was just Hedge, Henge you didn't like. No, it was other things I didn't also. But, but, my biggest beef so far with Vogt is Sunday's game


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The one game they lost to Oakland. First and third, nobody out top of the ninth. Gabriel Arias at the plate. And Bo Naylor at third base.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Gabriel Arias tries to bunt. I don't know if it was supposed to be a suicide squeeze, probably more of what's called a safety squeeze. The difference is, on a suicide squeeze, the second the pitcher throws the ball, if you're the runner at third, you gotta go. On a safety squeeze, you wait till the batter puts the ball in play. Alright? Now, I just assumed Arias did that on his own, which I thought was extremely stupid. After the game, Steven Vogt said that was his call. Now,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Zach Meisel said to me yesterday, well, maybe it was Arias and he's covering for him. I don't know that for sure. If Steven Vogt called for a squeeze in that situation, that is terrible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Arius, if he's gonna bunt, gotta get the bunt down. He bunted and missed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Top 5 pitch for the American League this year. Yeah, this is the first real test for the Guardians lineup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I mean I'm not the authority on that, but I would say probably not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Domino's is better, I mean, all chain pizza sucks, but Domino's is better than Little Caesar's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh no wait, let me just finish my point real quick before I rambled on about pizza. So I tweeted, I finally found something worse than the Cavs chain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are the tiebreakers? Do we know? Is it head to head? Is it the first tiebreaker? Proceeding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But what's the Cavs-Nicks head to head? Didn't the Knicks win the season series?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and what about Cav's magic, Mike? Uh, I'm pretty sure- Cav's one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I thought the Cavs wasn't really... So what's the, what's the conference winning percentage between those two?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so we're probably, yeah, because the Cavs, so most likely the Cavs will, the Cavs don't have the tiebreaker against the Knicks. And if they finish tie with Orlando, Orlando's probably going to have the tiebreaker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the Cavs have three more losses in conference, if they're going to finish tied, it's because the Magic have played better the rest of the way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. The Cavs have a winning record against Indiana this year, don't they?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Sons Lakers Clippers, and then they got the Grizzlies at home, they stink, the Pacers at home, and then the Hornets at home. They could easily lose three of the next four here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No. Meanwhile, it looks like the Lakers are gonna make the play-in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, alright guys, I'm going to give you the game. You tell me, win or loss for the Cavs. You ready? Win, Utah, win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so you got, that means you got them going two and two on the rest of this trip. They beat the Grizzlies? Yes. Three and two. Pacers? Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How far is the Bucks up? They got no chance of catching the Bucks now, or no realistic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Three games in the lost column behind Milwaukee, they're not catching them. And the Bucks probably have the season series, don't they, for the tiebreaker anyway?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But did they, how much did they play the first couple of years? You know what I mean? I think that makes a difference because Evan Mobley has played legitimate minutes since the beginning, since he first came into the league.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you mentioned there they'll be doing grading. So what that is, for those who don't know, if you have baseball cards, or any sports cards at home, but especially baseball cards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if you have a card that may potentially be worth money, it's only gonna be worth a lot of money if it's graded at a 10.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And usually you have to send the cards in and you have to pay for it to be...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Evaluate it, I don't know if they're doing it for free or whatever, I'm not sure in this situation. You have a bunch of baseball cards and you want to get them evaluated to see if they're worth anything. Bring them in, we'll see you this Saturday. Alright, Mike.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, this is the peak of women's basketball. It's never, there's never been a women's sport more popular than women's basketball is right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, as Mike mentioned, South Carolina's


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Caitlyn? Yeah. Oh, Caitlyn? Yeah, why was she defending Caitlyn? What do you mean why was she defending her? She was killing her!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a good job. I was, because if you're going west, you know, out towards Buffalo, then you could just do a hundred miles an hour on 90 because it's a dead straight shot. I haven't had White Castle in forever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, let me ask you the question I was just asking the mic. Why did they wait? Why did LSU wait so long to switch up on Kaitlin Clark? Because Van Lith, right? Van Lith? Haley Van Lith.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Howard, you're definitely right, but I do think there are other factors that are helping. I think one is that the men's game is becoming less popular. I know when I was a kid, when I was a teenager,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the depth of talent on the women's side has gotten a lot better, it seems to me, in the last few years. On the women's side, you've always had a few teams that were really good. But I think the depth of quality teams has really improved in the last decade. Is that fair to say?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Take care, Howard. Good stuff, man. It's an exciting time for women's basketball. I'm into it. There's a lot more guys into it. It's good. Hopefully the game continues to grow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Speaking of extra time, Mike, we're going extra time on this show. Usually we end the show at 1 and do an overtime for just our paid members. But today, the show is going all the way to 1.20 for all our members. We will not go off the air at 1. Mike Ferret of MLB Radio will join us just after 1 o'clock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Talk about the guardians in all things baseball to help us wrap up the show. And please, if you haven't done so already, make sure you hit the subscribe button.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's true, we came back and played again. Uh, contact same as you, Roberto, base running same as you, Lofton, clutch same as you, Manny, I just flip flopped homey and bell with the power and approach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I played in a charity softball game with him. We were on the same team. It was so fun. He was great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I'm a little ornery because the Yankees are 5-0. I don't like when the Yankees are doing well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want the Yankees to lose every game they play. So I'm a little angry about that. But, but let's talk about it. I want, I want your opinion on last night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're still as obnoxious as ever. They think they should be anointed champs every year, so I hate them and I hate them. I don't really hate them like hate in a real way, but in a baseball sense, I hate them and I hate their fans. Is that unfair?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, now, Tristan McKenzie yesterday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But because Mackenzie is coming off the injury and he never got the surgery, and his velocity was down yesterday,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were a little concerned. How concerned are you or should we be about Tristan McKenzie right now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, that reminded me of something funny, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mike and his co-host Jim Ducat, the former Big League GM.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, their show's called Power Alley on MOB Radio. If you're a baseball fan, it is the best baseball show out there. There's not a close second.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Jim was on, and I've known Mike for a while now, we've never actually met in person, but we've talked for a while. And Jim was on my podcast recently and I mentioned this to him and I forgot and now I just remembered. So I'm glad you brought up your trip because in the, in 30 spring training.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mike and Jim go to all the different spring training sites, they interview the managers, they do great previews of all the teams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I remember, I was at the gym, believe it or not, walking around the track, and I was listening to the Guardians.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, uh, your interview with Steven Vogt, and when Steven Vogt started listing the guys in the depth chart of the pitching staff after the starters, I started laughing out loud on the track. And then as soon as the interview ends, essentially you and Jim were then laughing out loud based on all...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mike, if you, if the Rockies and A's consolidated into one team, would it still be the worst in baseball?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mike Lasting, folks who don't know, not only is Mike a great major league and minor league baseball expert, he also knows as much about college baseball as anybody I know. So the Guardians have the first pick in the draft. Mike, we got about 90 seconds left.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, one's a small win, but it was a tiny bet. The other one was a small bet with a giant win. As always, you know, if we're featuring a ticket, it's coming from FanDuel. It's playoff time in the NBA and NHL. Baseball is in full swing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our first winning ticket comes from Robert Cunningham. I told you we had a bunch in the queue. We're getting two of those now. Robert bet $1 last week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One thirty dollars. So a thirty to one win. He had Bryce Sensenbaugh and Tyler Hendricks over three makes each, both to score over fifteen points. All four of those hit. He bet a dollar, one thirty dollars. And as he said, it ain't much, but it's good to pay for a solo meal. So shout out to Robert Cunningham for that.

[Assistant] Even if it's 1% better than it was prior to Andrew Berry speaking, do you have 1% more clarity on what the Browns are gonna do after hearing Andrew Berry answer these questions? Or did he do a Class A, A plus job at avoiding every possible answer? Which, by the way, he should, considering he doesn't want to give away the Browns' plans.

[Assistant] Outside of the turnover rate, all the other advanced metrics actually favor the Bills offense with Dorsey than it did with Joe Brady. But the turnover ratio makes a huge difference.

[Assistant] Guys, we've done this for football before. We haven't done this for basketball. Right. These are the 10 players you want most for this series right now. So injuries do play a factor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not what they've done in the past, it is what will they do coming up over the next two weeks between the Cavs and the Magic. The ten guys you want for this series, we will draft it and then we'll compare your guys' draft. I'm going to abstain from this. Oh! To what Jason and I did on Tuesday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, we'll see. Okay. Me and Jason did this on Tuesday on the Ultimate Cav Show. Go back and check it out, but we'll compare our list to yours after you guys drag. That's a good idea. Yeah. See how many we got right. So, so one is- Hey, real quick, before you go, I apologize for cutting you off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was talking to a couple guys, uh, with the Cavs last night. They had an issue with our draft. So I'm not just going to give y'all heads up. Oh really? Which guys with the Cavs?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They said we missed on one guy, I'll tell you who we missed on after. Now did they watch the podcast or did you tell them what the draft was? We were just talking about it. Okay. And they said I was way too low on one player in particular, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright guys, we're gonna do our Cavs Magic Draft. These are the 10 most important players for the draft, not the 10 best. Not what they've done in the past is the 10 guys you want for this upcoming first round series. When you guys are done, we'll compare it to what Jason and I did on Tuesday on the Ultimate Cavs Show. Jay G. Bull, who's your first overall pick?
