Episode 140- The Guys are back and up late for a special backwards episode talking NFL, music and tv before more Skid Marks and an instant recap of the Browns terrible loss on Monday Night
There is no joy in Mudville… there is only a little in the Land … Its Episode 140 – Gerber, Danko and Chuck stay up late on a Monday night to talk sports and more in the Land… in a totally new way. The Guys get together for their first ever “backwards” episode and start with nonsense conversations about the NFL, the writers strike and Gerber’s Spotify Discovery Weekly hits. All of this “fun” goes against the backdrop of an ugly Browns loss to the Steelers on Monday Night Football. Once the game ends, the Guys give their way too soon reactions to the devastating Nick Chubb injury, the quarterback, the issues in the loss, their own gambling losses and (fingers crossed) reasons to think a win is on the table next week when the Titans come to the Land. Stick around after the closing music for some outtakes, more Browns talk and excitement for the Yearly Trip.
