Coming to you live from the cross-country mortgage campus in Barrio, Ohio, this is Cleveland Brown Staley, brought to you by Bali Bad, coming soon to Ohio, on 850 ESPN Cleveland. Here are your hosts, Bow Bishop and Nathan Zagura.

All let's do a live on a Tuesday edition merely bow and look who's back the great sea refreshed and ready. Yeah, I'm even on. Is this thing on? All right, it will do it live. All right. What does it mean to play us out? I don't know about refreshed. I don't know that there's any way to be refreshed coming off of a red eye that you landed on this morning.

But I am back. It wasn't the brochure to be fair that it was that it was a red eye and that that's the way that it was in the brochure. But there's no and I think we prepped for this very well. We had a lovely last day in LA took full advantage of the fact that we had a red eye, spent a lot of time up and down the Pacific coast highway.

Oh, there you go. How far did you get? Did you go like Orange County way or did you go Malibu? We went Malibu. There you go. So we went and had some some drinks that on at a bar over literally sitting on the Pacific Ocean. Yeah, that's a one. Then we went up to Neptune's net. Are you familiar with Neptune's net from fast and the furious? I'm not. I've never seen any of those. Oh, wow. What? Yeah, man, you love the original, especially so good. Yeah, no, I'm not. So that's one of the spots they go for. Dom goes before they go to some racing. So we went up there and then we ended up down at Santa Monica Pier. Well,

we walked along the pier and had a nice dinner and then went to the airport and we did the red eye. Well, I slept. I would say the majority of the flight. But as you know, these winds are so crazy, we got it in an hour early. It's like the one time you don't want to be in an hour early. That's all right. Get me out the plane. Get me out of your sleep. I don't sleep that. Okay. Okay. You sleep. And you're happy. You look and you're like, oh, man, it's been 90 minutes. Okay. It's a win. But it's not accomplished something. Yeah, it's not sitting down. No, no, it's not that refresh. No. But then we got it.

And then this morning, no problem. And yeah, I feel like a great weekend. Can't thank them is enough for the hospitality. And it was just it was he's going to get a cut of that nine billion. It was incredible. I mean, he should advance, especially after you see that look on Vince. It believed me. There was, there was much discussion of my look of Vincent Kennedy Macman. He looks like a bond villain. Well, for sure. I mean, the only guy I've ever seen try to rock that mustache is that director from Baltimore, John Waters. It's he's the only guy. I've

seen try to pull that off. I don't understand how you could do that. And then be like, this is what we're going with. I'm going with this. To me, it's like he's saying, I'm a villain. And I'm just going to embrace that. Yeah, I think that that feels like that's where we're going to be. And I think you'll probably be a character in it. And you'll love playing it up. I don't think he's going, I don't know. I have no idea what's going on. But there was much discussion amongst the group about that.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Look at that. Vincent Kennedy Macman is cultivating at the moment. Yeah. Well, it's good. Great. I mean, I'm. Yeah. I think it's something else. I mean, it's funny. Like that show succession. A lot of people think it's about the Murdox. I think it's probably pulled from everybody. Some to read. There's some McMahon for sure. I mean, there's four. Sure. There's a lot of that in there of those type of families that that are that pull from that. Did you catch any of WrestleMania? Where you dialed it? No, you did not. So Thursday got in. I was able to go out to a Mike's house and we played golf on the course.

He's like, he lives on the whole. I birded the whole that he lives on. Nice. That's good. So he was happy about that. He was pleased with that. Beautiful course, beautiful home. Got to like hang with his kids. So it was great. And then Friday, Miss Kay came in. And we had a great night in LA. Now what the. We somehow, I guess when, and you know, it was like our mini Vegas. We were up to. We were burned too late. Oh, every day. Too late. One day, not sweet Miss Kay right on out. She was.

Friday night. Took her out for Saturday. She was toast. Yeah. But we went. Many was great. The first night was significantly better than the second night. The main event of the first night was a tag team match, which was just. Probably the greatest tag team match in wrestling history. The crowd reactions. I believe it was unbelievable. Yeah. So it's cool. And it's fun. We get to say at the hotel that they're all saying. Yeah. So you'd see everybody. Yeah. It was a great trip. And then. So Mike got the first night beaten up by Pat McAfee.

And George Kittle. That was a first night. And he's doing everything with Snoop. He's hanging with Mr. Dog. Yeah, with Mr. Dog. Yeah. Great. The second night. He was the big surprise for him. Unfortunately, get beat up. I was going to be Shane McMahon. Okay. Here comes the money place. He comes out and there. Like people were shocked. This is Shane because he had had like a falling out with his dad and the company. And sure. So it's first time back. So he comes out.

And then he goes, he goes, he goes like a leapfrog over him when he lands. Shane tears his left quad. Legitimately legit. So Mike shoots out the opposite. Come back and almost trips over him. And now it's like this was supposed to be like. So that I was to do like five minutes worth of stuff and hit all of his big, you know, spots. And now that's gone. In an instant. Live in front of 76,000 people. So they had to figure out what to do. Yeah. So they had to improv it.

Mike. So now Mr. Dog's there. Sure. Mike's there. Yeah. Shane's on the ground with medical people trying to like roll him out of the ring. Yeah. Mike's kind of talking trash. Because what else could you do? Like, yeah, you like as if he did that and they're trying to figure it. So they get Snoop comes. He tells him he's like. Yeah, to me brother. So he throws him. He's like another one. He goes, but really give it to me this time. Boom. Snoop hits him and then gives up people's elbow.

Nice. And covers him. And so Snoop wins the impromptu match, which could have gone like a thousand ways bad. Yeah. And so Snoop panel like pro Mike and like pro. It's amazing. Good job out of Snoop. Yeah. Snoop was like being dialed into that. That's what needed to be done. Then. Yeah. God bless him for that. Who's the champion of this now? Roman still. That's the guy. Was there was the expectation that it was going to go another way? Yeah. So the main event of night two was Roman Reigns against Cody Rhodes. And this was like going to be the culmination of his story back.

One year coming after him won the Royal Rumble. The whole thing. Everybody wanted to see Cody win. And Roman so on. And the place was so flat. Roman's great. Everybody respects your own. But like he's. I mean, he's the first person who's ever now may have ended three straight WrestleMania in a row for the title. That's never happened before. So he's got. He's on this incredible run. People just thought it was going to be Cody. I think it's going to be a little degrade gratification. I think he'll eventually do it. But. The way that night one ended with the feel good. The tag team winning be the also.

Sami Zayn Kevin Owens and everybody in the place. It was like it gives me goosebumps. Everybody in the place was up for the final one two three. Like it's new. It was finally the finish. And it was such a feel good thing. And then the next night. You know, it's a bit at the end of the business. Send people home happy. That's the idea to entertainment. The East for entertainment. This at this. Yeah. Mania. There are plenty of favorite shows. Send him home unhappy. So they want to see the happiness. But this is supposed to be the mania. So I don't know about that decision. But I saw the ratings for yesterday's raw. I would reflect that there were its tepid at least.

The very best. Oh, they weren't good. Point five. Then people were pissed. Yeah. Yeah. So I just saw that this morning because everything was about ratings. Over the last few days. So the the women's basketball rating. Nine point nine. Nine million people watch that. Is it like the most beach ever? I mean, just for context. It beat 12 NFL games. Yeah. This year. That's why it did. It did. It beat 12 NFL. Did you watch it? I did for context. It beat every NHL Stanley Cup game since 1973.

It beat games one, two, three, and five of the 2021 NBA finals. It beat the 2023 sugar bowl between Alabama and Kansas State. The 2023 orange bowl from Tennessee and Clemson. Wow. Obviously, Emily MLS game on record. So the women's game did 10 million viewers. That's insane. It did more viewers than Ohio State Penn State. Now, Ohio State is the gold standards for ratings and college football. It did more than that. It's a stunning. It was up a hundred percent.

Year to year. They're around five million, which is nothing to sniff at. What do they do? What are they attributing it to? It's two things. In this country, we like to see greatness. So this is probably speaks to some of the things that's going on with even in the wrestling world. We want to. We like the idea of every sport we watch is the best. It's played at the highest level. It's why MLS is a bit of a struggle. Yeah. Because we know that it's not the best league in the world. We know that it's not. So it's it's down the list, right? It doesn't have the same attention. So this women's final.

Before had an undefeated defending national champion in South Carolina, it had a the team that ended up winning at LSU. It's 33 and two coming in and it had Caitlin Clark, who is for Iowa, who is the female Steph Curry, who can shoot from anywhere. They got the buzz of her coming out of the regional final where she had a 40 point triple double. And then she got South Carolina on Friday with another 40 points. And so it they had all of this building. And it was a Sunday afternoon. And there was nothing else.

Yeah. So what are you competing? It's live golf. No one's watching that. No one's watching it. Masters is this week. So it was on its its on an island. And it was. We were watching greatness. And so while the game was terribly

officiated and all of those things are very, very real. It had all of that build up to it. And even the men's and a way bigger hype than the men's final.
