FTL Monthly - The Guys are Back together to close out August and talk Guards stretch run, Browns season of “smart” and to say goodbye to a legend, welcome back to Ted and friendship science

Will these Guys ever shut up…? The Guys are back together for another month of talking sports and more in the Land. Gerber, Denko, and Chuck get back at it, startingwith a long talk about the Guards after the trade deadline: their early August swoon, late August surge, and they look towards the final month of the season. The Guys talk about what changed to get the Guards back on track (recorded before the Guards dropped two of three from the Royals this weekend), their favorite new kid on the block, and their expectations for the end of the season and the MLB playoffs. The Guys closed the first segment talking about the close out of the Cavs offseason and their glass-half-full looks at the James Harden trade. In the Second segment (23:37), the Guys go all in on the Browns 2026 season. The Guys start in the only logical place, trying to figure out the illogical decision to name Deshaun Watson as the starter. The Guys also go through theirseries of "hell yeses" and "oh noes" about the roster, the staff, and the future of the organization. The Guys talk about what will be necessary for Todd Monken to be successful and give their predictions for the Browns record at the end of the 2026 season. The Guys close the Show (45:06) with an In Memorium for one of the all time greats. The Guys say goodbye to Dolly, try to put her remarkable life into numbers, pick their favorite songs and give their one word hot takes on an an amazing life lived. After shaking off the dust in the room, the Guys welcome back Ted Lasso and talk old characters that didn’t make the cut and new story lines. After a quick excursion into college drug rings, the Guys close the show talking about recent friendship studies, their yearly trip and the importance of reaching out every day. Stick around afterthe closing music (1:18:41) to hear the Guys NFL predictions, some From the Land Hip Hop and some bloopers.From the Land is available on Twitter @Pod_FromtheLand, on Instagram @fromthelandpodcast, on YouTube @fromtheland, on Threads @fromthelandpodcast and the world wide web at www.fromthelandpodcast.com
