Opening week on the fan is presented by hands-free sketchers slip-ins just step in and go. Deerowriner coming up in about 40 minutes time. Nick and J.P. back with you now. We're talking about De Shon watching speeding ticket earlier. It isn't delicate situation because my initial response is say I don't care. All right, I do care. I want all of these guys to be safe because I'd like any of these. Anybody that plays for the Browns or Guardians or calves. I'd love for them to live to see 90 because God knows they're going to have enough money to live very healthily until they're 90. So I do care. I just in 2026 with everything else going on in the world. All the things I could be upset about De Shon Watson with 86 in the 60 just doesn't feel

like I can muster up out right now. It also just seems really funny the idea that if anybody thinks the Browns are going to care about this. Yeah, you know what I mean? It just seems like being the line of the sand really would be. You know what he's not going to start now. Why don't we don't take quarterbacks who speed around here? When Shedore got the ticket, I think people were genuinely concerned and we're like, oh, do the Browns have to do something? It's like, yeah, Shedore has been a boy scout his entire life. This is maybe even just having a conversation with a police officer is a lot for Shedore. All things considered, right? But like De Shon has been through a lot off the field and the Browns have not really seemed to care about any bit of it. So like the speeding tickets are not going to be in the world. I would be surprised if they even brought it up to him. Yeah. And they pant the end of things. Like, you know what? De Shon? Old De Shon would speed too. Yeah. Like you said, is a way to bring life into him? Yeah. Houston De Shon used to go speeding all the time, right? 86 and a 60. That sounds about like 2019 to Shon Watson. I'm proud of you kid. Get back out there, speed racer.

Just such an odd thing. And why is it always Cleveland athletes that end up with these? I know our highways, some of them, they do ticket more than I feel like other parts of the country. Is that all this is? No, I think that I think the stretch of highway where the Browns usually drive by is a pretty easy place to go faster than you realize. Oh, you think this was like one of those just he just wasn't paying it. Attention, that's how you get to 86. I think half of the reason we have 60 mile an hour highways around here is for people to get tickets. Yeah, I mean, yeah, there's a good take. I felt that one is at left. I was like, you know, I'm until big government of thing or two right up my head here. I'm like a modern day Michael Markovcho over there. Is that right? Yeah, lining up them political takes. He's so political. I think he is. He is. He is. He's got thoughts like you wouldn't believe me. I mean, and you start pretty benign, right? Like those cameras, those flock cameras. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And before you know, you're going to full blown dissertation on abortion. It is just I get it. He got opinions. You tell him, man, I do not agree to these allegations.

Tows in the water. Yeah. Before you know it, he's telling us what to do. He's giving us topics in between the breaks trying to get us to talk about it in the air. I was asking you if you had seen what's about room. Wait, Michael. Why was talking about political take and you ask us about it in between the break? I don't know what to tell you. Yeah. I really think there's a political take two days away from that anniversary. You're asking us for those takes. Come on now. Mike in Orlando. Welcome to the show. Hey, good afternoon, guys. How are you doing? All right, Mike. What you got? Right, Mike. Hey. I don't know. The Sean Watson was going 26 miles an hour over the speed limit. You nailed it. Heaven, we all done 26 miles over the speed limits. Let's be honest. I don't know about that. I think there are actually a couple of people. Jonathan drives like a 97 year old person. That's true. I do. I've been behind you that. Enjoy the view. But what I thought of was that when that tweet came out,

Miles Garrett read it and said, oh, my dear. Yeah. Is that what he said? Yep. Yep. That's my take on that. I mean, what's 26? All right, Mike. We should be the watcher. That's even you're like who isn't Kai? Who isn't just daydreaming and then ending up going 26 over? I'm like a lot of people. A lot of people don't just accidentally hit 26 over. It's just like the idea that somehow we just don't can't even impress a brown fan with this. Because that's a thing. You know, it was my quarterback. He'd be 40 over. I mean, should or did hit the 90s and Bernie did say. I mean, it's and Bernie did minimize going 100 miles an hour back in the 80s. So if you're going to do something, you might as well be the best at it. Don't think or go home. You might as well be the best at it. Except in speeding, don't do that, kids. No, no. I'm teaching a kid to drive and like, how's that going? No, she's actually great.

That's what really is. Yeah. That's good. I always do feel like it's, you know, it's the type of thing that you really have to stress to the kid. Obviously like, hey, this isn't a toy. That'd be my big thing. I already know this is coming. I'm like, this isn't a toy. No, that's going to be for the twins. Olivia is the most responsible 16 year old. I've ever met in my life. She puts 16 year old me to shame, 16 year old my father to shame. She is conscientious, a hard worker, consider. Is she naturally nice? I always thought that we were, our generation was naturally better at the, at just like, hey, we're learning how to drive because we all did cruising USA so much. By we spent so much time in the arcades and we were actually playing these like simulated car games that were real dry. It's like just as much as driving a car as anything else was. Yeah, for me, it's, I don't know this generation does that the same way. My uncle used to refurbish tractors, take the, the mower deck off and let us just drive around. You drive one or two of those things into a, I don't know, a sister and I'm speaking merely hypothetically, certainly not something I did. Your sister with a tractor? No, no, no, sister.

Sister, like the septic thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's kind of safe. It was the first time I ever drove a manual tractor where you click it up and down at a, in and out of gear with your right foot. Sure. Sorry, you're left, no, your right foot, I'll get there eventually. But I clicked up when I meant to go down or something like that. And that thing jumped right into the sister and he's like, how did you miss it? It was right there. Is like it was one foot in front of you. And I was like trying to explain it and he just wouldn't accept it. And for the rest of his life, I ain't bleep about that sister. And you know how many, you know how many wrecks I've had since then? One. Cause I just knew that son of a, you know what was gonna come out of nowhere. Even now, you can be a ghost and just come out and be like, oh, you didn't see that car there, I'm sure. You mean that you've been in one car accident in your life? My entire life. Yeah. The average is 10 years. Every 10 years you're supposed to get into car accident. That's the average. Well, I will be where you when you got in your car accident. I was 20. Yeah. Oh, so you're due. Yeah. Oh, thank you. Thank you. I needed that car moment.

I'm due as well though, from being honest about it. I got, I got, I got an accident when I was like 17 years old. That was not my fault. The drunk driver was pulled out of a bar. It was raining. I had no chance to stop. Everything else, Nick, has been five miles per hour or less. Yeah. Yeah, I got in a, I got in the span of like a five year stretch. I got in three different car accidents. But it was my fault, my fault in parking lots. Yeah. Yeah, for some reason I don't treat parking lots with respect. I had to learn to treat parking lots with respect. In fairness, I would drive like a madman in parking lots. In fairness, you're not the only person that doesn't treat parking lots with respect. Real quick here. I would go with Lou and North Royalton. Oh, sweet Lou. Sweet Lou. How's it going, guys? We're doing all right. Listen, where, where was, did you say it was on 480? Yeah. Was it in Cleveland? I do not recall. I didn't get that. I knew that information once upon a time and have already forgotten it. Okay, because yeah, Cleveland is so horrible. But anyways, the last guy said that what's 20?

It was in Cleveland. It was 480 in Cleveland. Yeah. He said, what's 26 miles over speed limit? I mean, the challenge should be thanking the cop that he didn't give him a speeding ticket. Because if you do 20 over the speed limit, the cop can give you a ticket for reckless operation, which is 4 points on your license. And that is usually what DUIs, people that get DUIs, that's what they play down to. They play down to a reckless operation that looks better on your driving record for insurance purposes than a reckless operation. So who had a thought? And the Sean's biggest legal problem in 2026 is an insurance issue. I'd say this is a step forward. Yeah, we're heading to the right direction. Listen, one time this was, I was very young. This was like in the early 90s. My brother had, it was the first year that Alpha Romeo imported the 164 luxury sedan into

the United States and my brother had one. And we went down to Dayton. He drove down to Dayton and then I drove back. And I would have made it from, usually a day takes about three hours, depending on how you drive, the three hours, three hours and 15 minutes. I would have made it from Dayton to Cleveland in an hour and a half. I was racing in Iraq and I was doing at least 141, 145. And the cop got me on 71. He was coming in the opposite direction. It was in Mansfield. And he waited till I got on top of him. He turned the radar on. The radar on. And I saw the lights and you know, turning around in the grass and he pulled me over. It was, he was really nice. I thought I literally was going to jail that night. And he looked in my car and saw that I had a radar detector.

And then he tells me he goes, I guess the hand is quicker than the eye, huh? And then he said, ask me, you know how fast you were going. I said, no sir, I was probably speeding, you know, excessively. He goes, well, I clocked you at a harm five in a 60. So. All right. Sweet Lou, we appreciate you. Thanks for sharing. Right. Yeah. That is, this does bring to mind there that there are certain things that human beings can't help but share their like not one up in because that's not what sweet Lou did. But like one speeding ticket or one car crash story begets another in a way that is a little interesting for human beings. Well, I just, we've all done it. Right. This is like the idea that no one wants to be, no one will ever accepting told there are a bad driver. Why? It's because you spend so much time in a car and everyone does it every single day. And so like there's like, you know, there's a lot invested into that. So I think it's as simple as that. We do all, we just all do it. So there's a commonality there.

And if the average is every 10 years you get an accident, you've probably been in an accident. There's probably an interesting story that comes along with it. 216 474 0092, big deal, little deal or no deal to Sean Watson. So in 26 miles an hour over the speed limit, I got busted back at the end of August there. Don't worry. It was after the emotional meltdown. It wasn't literally after, but several days after, a big deal, little deal, no deal. And we'll finally get to those three damning to Sean takes and you choose which one you agree with and which one you don't in five minutes on 92 three, the fan. I'll.
