From the Land Monthly - Episode 9 - The Guys are back together for the biggest holiday and biggest night in sports for a Special Christmas Golden Tower Award Extravaganza!

All we want for Christmas… is a Show! Gerber, Danko, and Chuck are back for one final 2025 show and to spread holiday cheer. The Guys are celebrating Christmas, handing out their year-end Golden Towers and taking down some curated holiday bourbon cocktails. But, before the Guys can get to the fun, cheer, and awards, they need to sift through a bag of coal. The Guys start the show talking about the disappointing Cleveland Cavaliers, the problems and potential solutions, and the future head coach Kenny Atkinson. Things only get gloomier as the Guys move on to talk about another typically dismal Browns season with a slight glimmering light from an almost not loss against the Bills. The Guys talk whether or not the Browns are actually shitty and whether there is a real opportunity to grade Shedeur Sanders’ up-and-down rookie season. The Guys end the segment with a look at the final two games of this slog of a Browns season. In the second segment (30:49) the Guys finally get to crank up the cheer and hand out Golden Towers for 2025. The Guys hand out hardware for the best young Cleveland Athlete, best Cleveland defendant, the C-Town Goat the best moment of 2025 in Cleveland sports and some more dubious awards. In the final segment (56:00) the Guys welcome their fans into the draft room for the first ever From the Land Draft. The Guys make their selection for the top ten Christmas songs of all time, running the gamut from Bing Crosby to Mariah Carey to Billy Squire and the Waitresses. Once the draft is complete, the Guys close the night reviewing the night's bourbon cocktails. Stick around after the closing music (1:21:00) for bloopers, dinner with Bernie and (why not) some Springsteen.
