1:00I'm real quick, I'm already getting this stuff from Kent State fans. You guys show up on the internet, you guys don't show up in real life. I don't know what else to tell you. They don't. They don't. They don't. It is well documented. Akron has a much better student section than Kent State. Well documented. Did I ever tell you the print that the 8K routies did when I was in college? I'm not aware of it. It was one of the best things ever. Before John Boy goes here, John with the Penn State. They have their big white outs, 100,000 strong. It's Matt Campbell Day here in the studio. Yeah, it is. He finally found out why I have a bunch of Penn State and Iowa State stuff on. And he's learning how long to take. How long have you been here? It took a month, but he got it. Anyway, I'm getting a bunch of Kent State stuff. I get a bunch of Kent State grief from people. I'm like, you guys show up on the internet, but where it counts in the stand, you don't. And one of the greatest things I ever saw, I wasn't a part of it. I kind of wish it was.

2:00The student group was called the 8K routies back in the day. I think it's so hard. And they had somebody, I don't know who they did. They called Kent State, got a hold of their athletic department, and said, hey, I lead an organization at Kent State Stark students who are big Kent State fans. We want to go to the game. We want to sit with the student section. Whoever was in charge of that time goes, great, great. Yeah, we'll get you tickets. I mean, you need like 100, 200, oh, I don't know what it was. It was something like a lot of tickets, right? So they get like a ride over there. And they're all like, yeah, we're Kent State Stark guys. And then when the game, before the game started, they all took off their stuff. They were all wearing Akron stuff. And it wasn't even a fight. And I thought it was one of the greatest Trojan horses I've ever seen in Mid-America. And it's a good one. Is it as good as some of the other stories that you're going to have there with the last eight mission games? Trojan horses. Yeah, but you don't find the other things like that in the Mid-American conference here at Akron, you do. And I thought it was a great gesture by the students at the great University of Akron.

3:03Plus, Kent State, you guys all act like you're in the Ivy League stop. You're eight miles down the road. We all got into both schools. Stop. Who are you guys? You're stupid. Oh, we are, are we? Okay. I got into both schools, guys. I got into both. We have great aviation programs, right? So we do. And yet you're scared of planes. Polymer, rubber. We take care of it. Go zips. I don't got anything against Kent, except when they start to whom can you need me to help you read this? Why, because you went to Kent please. Please, you know the idiots I knew in high school who went to Kent who I partied with at Kent State, you know, the morons I grew up with who went to Kent. can't Can I more than Lee raising a couple of those and I didn't call I didn't grow up with your kids So that's the beauty of it and when they graduate from can I'll go right back to it. That's the fun of this argument All right, John who is the savior for the Cleveland Browse that's hiding in plain sight, buddy

4:05I think it's Ty Simpson You guys want to hear more about kids state-accurate rubberies or got Ty Simpson two one six four seven four double o' 90 to go ahead John I don't think that this should happen. I don't want it to happen But I think it's going to happen because of what Ty Simpson is said about Todd Munk in the this entire process Oh, you think it's gonna happen. Yeah, cuz why cuz they because he's saying nice things Yeah, because this is a thing to back this up with John This is what this is what Ty Simpson said on up in Adams with up in Adams with K. Adams yesterday He recruited me in Georgia at a great relationship with him and then you know him coaching at Southern S Him and my dad got that you know know each other pretty pretty well So I was known him for a long time and then you know when I got to name them at the Columbine and got to meet with them 30 visit it was you know just something there's a you know personality about him that you know He kind of has a chip on our shoulder to where you know He he wants to you know take the lead by storm with his offense and you know

5:07He's very genuine and you know cares about his players and cares about his coaches and you know the proof is in the port putting when it comes to you know Offense right like he's already do you know Georgia's already deal with Lamar like no, it just kind of yeah I think it's a quarterback friendly system and a guy who is willing to you know change in a debt So he said nice things about Todd Munkin so he's gonna go there. It's gonna get drafted. No, this is this is in the league Yes, in a league. That's not what I meant in a league where where coaches are getting fired in year one after year one You're not gonna want to draft a guy that you know and that you know his coachables father's that of a head football coach This guy is coachable. He is showing things at Alabama. What does Shadour Sanders dad do I Think he coaches football. Yes, but the Shadour Santers does Todd Munkin have a relationship with Shadour Sanders's father right now He recruited Shadour Sanders didn't he

6:07Last quarterback coach have a good relationship with Shadour Santers Back-up quarterback that be I mean Todd is about publicly has Todd Munkin gotten a porcelain horse head from Tyson No I'm sure Sanders what else you got to claim that argument there John This is a guy that's coachable. He has done a lot of hope so I would certainly hope so I'm saying Shadour Sanders isn't coachable. I'm saying that Ty Simpson has a great relationship with Todd Munkin and In this one, I saw I saw photographic proof that Shadour Sanders has a great relationship with Todd Munkin horse And horse and horse and horse Out of the realm of possibility for the Browns to draft Tyson Simpson anywhere. No, it's not out of the realm of possibility But I think the reasons you're giving me are absolutely nuts. I don't see where these things are connected and then so okay So Tyson Simpson was asked if he's going to the draft he doesn't know yet Uh-huh. He said he would go if he was invited all right if you go to the NFL draft if you go to the NFL draft and you do not get picked in the first round That's embarrassing

7:10If Ty Simpson goes to the draft thinking he's gonna go around one and he doesn't get drafted That's what happened to Will Levis he didn't get drafted He lost his girlfriend to Morgan Wallen because of that Which is true, which is true. That's a real thing. I think if you're going to go to the NFL Todd Munkin's fall you have a pretty you have a pre a large chance Think of going of getting of getting picked in the first one. Yeah, but there's other teams that can draft the Browns don't have all 32 picks John I'd feel a lot better if we did. I tell you what we're going places. I don't even know he wants to come to Cleveland John He's been saying at the whole time. Yeah, I'm setting you up to play the clip. Yeah Like so John Oh, you want him to play the clip? I want to play Simpson too that I'm trying to set him up. Yeah, yes As he went down to this rambling thing about Morgan Wallen stole a girl. You can't see it though All right, John now set now set him up to say this is what Ty Simpson said about wanting to play for the Browns

8:10Can I can I play the dance Cuz he doesn't let me turn my mic on can I play the clip? Yeah, press point That's something that you gotta ask Coach Munkin and Mr. Barry. I think it'd be great They got it going up there. Coach Munk's going to get it right You know, they got all the right pieces if I'm able to throw the car now it would be It'd be great. It would be something bad. You know, we'd be always be on the same page and you know Hopefully it would take the lead by storm. Pated six Simpson at 24 or 39. Wow Because of that. Yes, I don't want it because time Simpson said nice things about Todd Munkin in the Browns. Yeah So if if if if Ty Simpson says nice things about Todd Munkin in the Browns I'm supposed to completely disregard what Ty Simpson said about the Jets. It was great You know just talking ball getting to know each other And Coach Wright is a great great human being Coach Glenn is a super you know, just full guy You know, we install this and stuff and getting to know each other and just you know getting on the board is it It's what I like. So, you know, I really really love the Jets

9:13You know really really blessed to be able to have a meeting with them and if I you know have an opportunity to play in New York Like I said, they're gonna get the best Ty Simpson they can get. How am I supposed to trust Ty Simpson when he just said he loves the Jets John He only said it about one team Ken and one coach right he did oh wait a minute was he asked about the Pittsburgh Steelers Yeah, it was great now with them Coach Carth is the the guy man. Um, it was funny if I could go in there and ask a couple questions We're just you know talking about home going back and forth talking about past concepts talking about protection talking about situations And it was cool to you know see all the quarterbacks he's worked with with dad, you know Um and Aaron Rogers and then you know situations that come up in his career that you know, he asked me about I mean what I thought about it and It was really cool because we were just you know going back and forth and you know by the time that we were finished It was like you know, we felt like five minutes just because of how much fun we had so No, I love coach McCarty love love the Steelers love those guys in the city side to get to know him

10:15Well, no, I don't know if I could trust the sky at all. He loves everybody. How many teams can we love everybody? No, I'm better worried about him loving his girlfriend That's your ass. Tell you that right now John answer me I'm Jennifer and I'm Angela Kinsey and we have the podcast office ladies every Wednesday will be sharing even more exclusive stories and lots of laughs Follow and listen to office ladies on the free Odyssey app and wherever you get your podcast Oh, I trust high simpson. He loves three different teams on record Todd he has the the relationship with Todd munkin the pre-existing relationship He's been talking about the browns. Yes. He's talked about these other teams everybody talks about these other teams But you're not gonna tell you you're telling me that you've been saying we everybody on this station has been saying that Todd munkin needs to try to win in year one And you're gonna tell me that taking car neltate and taking tie simpson is not going to join to at least give him the opportunity To win taking a guy who started 15 games of college is giving him the opportunity to win right now. Yeah, no, I think sir

11:21I Should doorstanders or dissaunt Watson I mean you guys have been saying bring in quarterback. Bring these veteran quarter rack. Why not bring in tie simpson It these socks the next year you get to you get to pick from an insane draft class So oh, it knows how this is gonna go is that in next month They're gonna take tie simpson in the first round I'm gonna have to hide under the desk and John's gonna be screaming at me the entire Friday morning wait for anything more Weekly battle that we will have on this show it would be great for the show I just thought it was that's John that you thought that we're gonna take tie simpson just because he's saying nice things about Todd munkin and the Cleveland Browns I think Listen, I've heard nothing but nice things about Todd about Todd munkin. I've never heard anybody any other coach get get Like Harold. He just said it. He just called Mike McCarty the guy or the guy. Yeah, the guy He's the guy. Yeah, I know that Todd Mike McCarty's how we okay Mike McCarty gets run at Dallas

12:26He gets run at a Dallas gets run at agreement. Todd munkin got run out of Cleveland. Todd munkin got run out of Baltimore This is Until now and how old is he? Yeah, and that's why he's gonna draft set tie simpson because he needs to give himself some sort of jolt make some sort of splash That's not how drafting works in Cleveland Todd munkin will not be the one doing the picks No, there's a reason that Andrew bears are always in them two of them came in and one of them left How often of the Browns drive overdraft at a quarterback There's a reason that Andrew Brewery Kevin Stephenson came together and that there's a reason that Andrew Barry and Kevin Stephansky came into this together And Kevin Stephansky is the one that's on the outs 200 is the one in Atlanta now Andrew Barry still here. He will be the one that makes the pick I'm not saying I want this to happen. I'm not saying it should happen. I think it's gonna happen Based on what you just said yeah based on press conferences and him saying he likes Todd munkin based on their relationship

13:26Based on the way that I mean we've been talking about Todd munkin on this station for the last Pony could do this same side. I know you notice what the colors of the station are who we are the home of But what is this you Todd munkin holds We lot we talk a lot of Todd munkin here But you've been talking a lot of tie simpson here What we've talked way too much tie simpson here in this Todd munkin So we've said tie simpson's the name enough that we might not say it again for a month For he's gonna show up candy man style Could the browns be still adding to their offensive line this morning Darryl writer gives us the latest Ken Carmen Danny in for tone on the fan On Aspire with emigrate we talk about mindset ambition and the work that actually moves the needle Listen to Aspire with emigrate available where you get your podcasts
