---

5. NFL Front Office Drama – The Trend Balky Debate

[41:00–52:17]

• The Browns’ Puzzling Consultant Hire:
  Heated debate erupts over Cleveland hiring Trent Baalke—crediting his history of poor GM results, firings, and organizational turmoil:

  • Deebo (sarcastic): “What is it about old Trent that y’all Browns see, that makes your organization want to bring him in to consult? About what? How not to do it?” [44:13]
  • Joe: “What the fuck he gonna come help us consult about? Leave us alone. Don’t come over here with your losing vibes.” [44:32]

• Too Many Cooks in the Kitchen:
  Both agree on the dangers of over-managing and unnecessary consultants:

  • Joe: “I don't think bringing more cooks in the kitchen is what we need. We just got out…Andrew Berry is over here cooking right now.” [45:11]
  • Deebo: “If that's him saying, 'I’m not too sure what I did, I need a consultant,' I’m ready to fire you as the owner if you did that..." [47:56]

[Joe Hayden]

My dad's a reverend. I'm going to heaven. Cavs in seven. That's all I know.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Oh, my God. Get out of here, man. Get out.

[Joe Hayden]

Yeah, you come get that. Yes, sir.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

You come get that.

[Joe Hayden]

That's all I'm telling you. I'm going to have it. My dad's a rapping cabs and sad Cunningham, though. Hey. Oh, he's nice. What I'm not going to do is sit here and disrespect. We going to need my man, huh? We gonna. We got Donovan Mitchell, we got James Harden, and we have a young. We have a man named Jerry Allen that brings his lunch pail to work every day. This man wore the same pair of shoes the entire season. He's not worried about nothing but getting a bucket and getting some rebounds and doing what he gotta do for the team to win.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Dude, that's probably superstition. He don't wanna change his shoes, bro.

[Joe Hayden]

It gotta be superstition. I don't care. It's making me look like he's a gangster. You gonna wear one pair of shoes for the whole season, bro. Diggs, bro, you can't do that.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

That's no, brother, that's what he's doing. That's so games right.

[Joe Hayden]

He's wearing one pair of shoes and he has a hole in them joints right now. And he still got 22 and 19 with a hole in his boot. That man, Jerry Allen is a full blown gangster, bro.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

I'm not. I don't. I. That's not. That's not. That can't be good for your ankles. He ain't got no stability, brother.

[Joe Hayden]

He's wearing ankle braces. He. He's an old school player. He played in the 70s. Jared Allen is reincarnated. He was born before he played back in the day and now he's back again.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

He was here once before. I'm trying to tell you Debo, I'm

[Joe Hayden]

trying to tell you he's wearing old

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

and he's wearing his shoes from back then too, huh?

[Joe Hayden]

Yes. That man Jerry Allen is a gangster. That's why the. That's why Cleveland loves him. Work pale. Work boots. Work ankle braces.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Ankle braces.

[Joe Hayden]

Yes.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Okay, man.

[Joe Hayden]

Shout out Jerry Allen.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

For sure. For sure. Look here, man.

[Joe Hayden]

Yes.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Our quarterback. Say his name. Okay, I got it.

[Joe Hayden]

Drew Aller.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Steelers.

[Joe Hayden]

Yes.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Quarterback Drew Aller.

[Joe Hayden]

Yes.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Ranks top five in rookie jersey sales. He's higher than Mendoza. He is only. What? It's only three people ahead of him. It's Caleb Dials, Jacob Rodriguez. Yep.

[Joe Hayden]

Malachi Lawrence.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Malachi Lawrence is him. And then your boy Fernando Mendozas, he tops out the five.

[Joe Hayden]

Yes.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

So Joe.

[Joe Hayden]

Yes, sir.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

There's something that people don't understand or may not understand. Like. Like while being drafted high is a.

[Joe Hayden]

Is a good thing.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

What they looking for is. I think it's two things. Expectations player, you know.

[Joe Hayden]

Yeah.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Like so what's the hype behind them, you know, and then it's the fan base that they go into. How dedicated are the fans, Joe? Do you have fans that.

[Joe Hayden]

That feel. You are correct.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Connected to their team. They feel like family, Joe.

[Joe Hayden]

Yes.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Do they bleed black and yellow, Joe? Hey, Drew alert. He played Penn State homegrown.

[Joe Hayden]

That's what they feel like. That's what they feel like. That's what they feel like. They feel like they know that man.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

And the fan. Hey, like you. Yes. The fans knowing. Yes. They feel like they know him. That's. That's. That's their guy. You know what I'm saying? When you go to hell, Pitt, Penn State and Pitt play. That's the only time you get some ruckus now. Cause most people go. Go with pit because it's closer to home. You know what I'm saying? Unless you are actual fan of Pitt already.

[Joe Hayden]

Yeah.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Or Penn State. Sorry. Unless you're a fan of Penn State already, then you know, you may, you may switch it up and I mean that's simple mathematics. When you look at it, man.

[Joe Hayden]

You look at it. Debo. When you're looking at these top jersey sales, obviously like you said, our man's in there. Drew Aller is. Because Penn State homegrown in the, in the, in the state. So everybody's going to buy this jersey. Caleb Downs, the Dallas Cowboys fans are all in. And then the dude, he's probably the best player that was in the draft. So you know the Cowboys going to go crazy. Fernando Mendoza being five and Drew Aller Being over him kind of surprised me because obviously, quarterback, he was expected to be the number one pick. He's coming in. He's clean cut, does it the right way. So I'm just expecting his jersey sales to be higher. So I think Drew Allen, I think the Steelers nation just stood up because they obviously, we want a quarterback. We want somebody to be successful. Somebody wants somebody to hold on to. And then him being from Penn State, him being in the state, I feel like that just made it extra, extra good for everybody in Pittsburgh.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Dude, Mendoza is number five because it is not a lot of hype behind him. He's in a draft class that is considered the weakest since 2022. Draft class. He's in Las Vegas. He's from Indiana. So there's no real change of a crossover from college to pro. Matter of fact, the 22 draft, bruh, that was when we ended up getting Kenny Picketts quarterback.

[Joe Hayden]

Yeah, yeah, We.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

We went and got Kenny Pickens. Okay. The dude's number, he was like, I don't know, 13. I don't know what his number was. It didn't matter. His jersey sales was number one for all rookies. And it was actually number four across the whole league. Okay.

[Joe Hayden]

Yeah.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

And that was because of the hype that was behind him. He was supposed to be the quarterback that was go take over for the air apparent. He was gonna be the replacement for Ben. He was gonna franchise quarterback, and that was supposed to be the dude that was go take over since being that retired. Yeah, none of that happened. But there go the fans again. The guys. You said at what, one and three?

[Joe Hayden]

Yes.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Got, you, got. You got two Cowboys at one and three Now.

[Joe Hayden]

Fans gonna pay that.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Hey, it's the Cowboys. The Cowboys, like, they are already delusional. Mind control. I'm dead serious, bro. Like, their fans are talking about Reading boys every year, bro. And they ain't seen a championship since 95, 96, 30 years.

[Joe Hayden]

I know.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

I'm.

[Joe Hayden]

I'm not.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

They ain't won nothing but five playoff games in the last 30 years. Since then, they ain't made it out of the divisional round, period.

[Joe Hayden]

I know, I know. I'm with you.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

We ain't hollering about. We about to go to. Hey, hey, here we. Pittsburgh's going to the Super Bowl. We was only out of it for 10. Y' all been out of for 30. Yeah, y' all talking crazy. Delusional.

[Joe Hayden]

But the crazy part is, though, Debo, their teams aren't that bad. Their teams, they never don't have talent. They never don't have players that are out there. So if I'm there, if I'm their fan base, you thinking when you look at the roster on paper, it looked like you should win something. So that's why I'm like, I'm not blaming them, bro.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

I don't care. Listen, I don't care nothing about none of that. They have delusional fans. Everybody is in the hunt when the season start because ain't nobody played the game or lost yet. Hell and hell. Oh, you got the Cleveland Shador last year he was drafted in the fifth round who jersey sales number one as a rookie.

[Joe Hayden]

Yes.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

In the top five as a whole Lead.

[Joe Hayden]

Yes. Yes.

I'm not trying to even go there with you right now, brother.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

I'm just. I'm just. I'm just. I'm just. I'm just asking questions. Sometimes stating questions, sometimes stating facts, sometimes stating.

[Joe Hayden]

Gonna keep watching. I think in my head every single

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

day, like, it's crazy how you don't want to talk about someone. The conversation don't start. It start, you know, getting a little iffy over there in Cleveland. I don't understand it, Joe. But we're gonna stay over here in Pittsburgh because we got good things going on here.

[Joe Hayden]

Yeah, no, for sure.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Okay. So, my guy. What's up, Jennings? Dunker, Big Red. Hey. This dude eating something crazy, brother. Is this.

[Joe Hayden]

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

He got four pieces of toast. Yeah. Two wheaties, bowls, pancakes. Two chicken breasts. 9:00am Four more tortos, plus one chicken breast in the post game. Culver's. You ever ate at Culver's?

[Joe Hayden]

I have not.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

I wasn't. I wasn't overly impressed. It's a double. They ain't got no Culver's here, so you're gonna be out of luck, baby.

[Joe Hayden]

What's a burger spot?

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Yeah, it's a burger spot. It's supposed to be. I wasn't impressed. I ate it in Arizona. That's the same thing. With like, that in and out, that in n out burger.

[Joe Hayden]

In and out, in and out. Burger is good.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Bro, that ain't nothing but a greasy McDonald's burger.

[Joe Hayden]

No, it's not.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Stop playing with me. Post game, do the C's Double bacon cheese family family cheese curds, onions ring, onion rings and three ranch sides. Yeah, this right here. I mean, it's before the game. I can see he carving up, bro. How much do he weigh?

[Joe Hayden]

That's what I'm saying. The pregame. The pregame isn't as crazy for me. I mean, all together, 7:15. The man got eight toast before the game, two, three tricking breasts, two Wheaties bowls, some pancakes and eight pieces of toast the morning before the game. That's a lot of food.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

He's talking about a 12 o' clock game, man.

[Joe Hayden]

He must be talking about one o' clock game.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

He might be one of them cats that got to eat a lot to keep their weight.

[Joe Hayden]

I would he. He has to because otherwise he would be humongous.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Like, did you have any foods that you would eat, like, you know, every time before?

[Joe Hayden]

Oh, yeah. Oh yeah. I'm doing the pasta, I'm doing the, I'm doing like the. What was it? The noodles with the. Yes. I'm doing like spaghetti, basically before the game with the chicken breast. That's my thing.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

That's it.

[Joe Hayden]

That's it. That's it. Spaghetti and chicken breast, bruh. Cause my stomach be messed up before the game. I feel, I feel like I really can't eat, but I gotta get something in. So the spaghetti and chicken breast is just normal, smooth, cool. I know it's going to taste the same every time. So I just was going with that. Get something in my belly and go. Cause before the game, I ain't gonna lie deep. I always had not butterflies. But my night before, the night before. And nothing. Nothing specific. Yeah, nothing specific, bro. I just. Yeah, probably the same. I was probably eating the same thing. I was eating that spaghetti the night before because, you know, the team meal, they always got the spaghetti with the chicken breast. Hit that and then in the morning come back down and do the same thing.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Well, see, we ain't had that when I, when I, when I came up. Well, as far as college, I started in college. So in college they would give us. You get like two pizzas. You get two large pizzas before the game. And that was our dinner. Like we was at Kent State, bro. Yeah, that's, you know, that's all they could afford. Yeah, you know, well, at least that's what we thought. But looking back at it, that was a damn lie because we made damn near 70, 80% of the money that was, you know, generated for the athletic program. And it wasn't because we was good, bro. We sucked. It Was because the schools. The school was getting paid by the.

[Joe Hayden]

Getting paid to go out. To go out there and the damn

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

sheep to the wolves for the big boys, for Big Ten, and they give us four or get a school for five, $600,000. Come in there for, you know, two, three games. Every year, you get. You know, you get a few million dollars to get your face kick to be they homecoming game. They warm up. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Joe Hayden]

Anyway, you was the. You was the Gators. You was the Gators. First game of the season.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Dude got you a nice chat. I ain't gonna deny that.

[Joe Hayden]

Facts came and got you a nice chat.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

We was the first three games, minimum, minimum two, if not four, you go into. Oh, yeah. You get a chance to get in front of the big boys. Y' all get to see, you know, get to play up against the big. I wasn't tripping.

[Joe Hayden]

I was cool. You gonna hold your own. You grown man. You gonna handle yours. That's for sure.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

We get. We getting worked on out there, man. You know, they instruct the band up. It's. It's 30 something to whatever by the time, you know, hit the second quarter. I'm like, man, they got you.

[Joe Hayden]

They. They ain't let you go in that game with enough bullets, man. You had one. You. You needed some more. You need about eight more, at least.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Yeah. So my thing was the night before the game was to eat pizza. So I think it was, like, 2007. I ended up jumping back into it. I think we were somewhere. I can't remember where we were, but I was like, yo, I want, like, some Papa John's pizza. And that was the thing they used to give us, Papa John's pizza. Oh. With the dip and all that, right?

[Joe Hayden]

So I'm like, oh, my God,

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

yes. They came with it. I ordered it. Dipping sauce, all that, man. I'm a. Smashed the whole pizza, right? And I'm like, sitting up there like, oh, we. The next day, got up eight. I eat a huge breakfast, too, because I get up super early. I try and get to the game, like, at least, like, four hours before the game so I can have all my stuff ready. Oh, yeah. I'm trying to get there as soon as possible. I do all my stuff. I take my own jerseys. I do my. I do everything.

[Joe Hayden]

Shut up. Seriously.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

I don't let him do none of that, bro.

[Joe Hayden]

Okay. Yes. Okay. I wasn't hip. I was today.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Oh, yeah, Yeah. I don't let. I don't let them do none of that.

[Joe Hayden]

So you get up to the stadium four hours before, right.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

So in 2007, like I said, I ordered that Papa John's, dude. Yeah, man. I felt great. And then it reminded me. I'm like, yo, I used to eat pizza. Like, that's all we had before. Yeah. And I felt great when I played. So I'm like, I'm going back to that. And I don't even know if you was there, the couple games that I did play, but I would order a large pizza. Well, I would actually order two when it came time because other guys started being like, slice and all this other stuff. So we had a Gatorade, and we treated the Gatorade like it was wine. So if you had some red, you say you needed a cab. You had a lighter one, you know, you say it was. It was. It was something to. Yeah. So everybody would get a slice. I still get a whole piece of. To myself, for sure. Everybody else would just grab a slice and it just became a thing where we was, you know, we was breaking bread, like, acting fool. But it was. It was great, bro.

[Joe Hayden]

See, I wasn't. It must have not been, because I didn't. I ain't never see the slice I need. I. I wish I would have seen it. I would have definitely came over there and grabbed me a slice. Debo.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Yeah. It was only by the time you got there, that was, what, 17? It wasn't. It might have been only like, maybe three people. That was. That was still there from when I originally started doing it. But, dude, it used to be like the whole defense, bro. I was at one time, I was ordering three pieces. I'm like, yo, dog, y' all can't take none of this one. I at least need half of it, bro. Yeah, like Jack. Jack will order. I'd be like, Jack. He'd be like, yeah, Jack.

[Joe Hayden]

One of the most clutchest people in the world.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Yeah. Yeah. I'd be like, Jack, man. He'd be like, yeah, I got you. Don't worry about it. Giving the money and all that, you know, blah, blah, blah. Yeah. So as it come in, we break the meeting. As soon as we break the meetings after the team meeting, we do all our stuff. Yeah. That's when I get the pizza. So I wouldn't even. I wouldn't even eat the regular meal that we had there. I'm like, yo, I'm saving all that. I'd come in there starving, bro. Be ready just to eat that.

[Joe Hayden]

Hell, no. But that Papa John's pizza with that sauce ain't nothing, bruh.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Come on, bro. Like, hey, I'm gonna tell you another one that's hidden. I don't even know what's the name of it right now.

[Joe Hayden]

It's.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

What is it? I want to say yes, dude, it's pizza. It's around here. I just man, I order it, bro. I like every now and then. It got, it got like a turbo Turbo. They call it Turbo Crush. It's like a garlic turbo crust. Oh my goodness, bro, I'm not here. What's the name of it? Is it jets or. Or is it Fox? I started doing. I started doing that one when I was in Atlanta during Kobe when I was filming heels. Me and my dude Allen. Dude, we was driving 30, 30, 40 minutes, bro, to go get pizza. Like 11 o' clock at night, bro. Man, it was good though, bro. So they got one here, but it's like It's a good 30, 40 minutes away and they don't deliver. So you got to go get it every now and then. You know, your boy gotta run down there and get that. You know what I'm saying?

[Joe Hayden]

You got to go 45 for the pizza.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Oh, yes, no question. That's one way.

[Joe Hayden]

Okay, you eating the pizza.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Traffic.

[Joe Hayden]

You're eating the piece of a shore on the way back in the whip.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Oh, you can't. You can't. What you mean you can't. Yeah, Jets. It's Jets. Jets got the Turbo Crush. Yes, it's Jets. They're right.

[Joe Hayden]

Jets got the Turbo cross, bruh.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

I'm telling you, when you come here, you got find you a Jets, bro. Make sure me a Turbo cross. I will matter of fact get you the one that only got the corners. You can get it where it got all. Just all corners in there.

[Joe Hayden]

So you get all corners. So you ah, see, okay, I'm all sides. I'm gonna order that. Get off this.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Lisa, order me some turbo crust, please, Please.

[Joe Hayden]

Yeah, you know, we need to get to though Debo, because we didn't mean, you know, we ain't talked about. Let's talk about my boys.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Yeah, let's talk about your boys. Let's talk about your boys. About that boy, Todd Monkin.

[Joe Hayden]

Yes, yes.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Now they asked him if he had a goal for naming the starting quarterback, if his goal was to name a starting quarterback before training camp.

[Joe Hayden]

Right?

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

And he said, I would love to have that. I'm not there yet. Muckin replied. So I can't say that. You can't say what, dude? You can't say that you have or like, want to have in mind a time frame of when you think you could have enough plays to evaluate the quarterback's performance that you have. Joe, I don't know what this is, but I'm gonna tell you right now, it sounds like a little brownie. Because as you sit there and you look at it a little more, it goes, oh, but he did say, he says this one.

[Joe Hayden]

What did he say?

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

He said, good morning. Listen, once we get on the field for four weeks at the end of spring, we'll have a better idea. He continued to then say, but there's only so many reps you get. You've got to start to target towards who. Who's going to start opening day. Okay.

[Joe Hayden]

Yes.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

But then he went browning and he comes back with this.

[Joe Hayden]

I'm saying, he said browning.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

He. He went browning and he comes back with this one. He says, now this can still change.

[Joe Hayden]

He added,

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

that can change even if someone's getting two thirds of the reps or someone's getting a third of the reps. Because you're still going to play preseason games. Yes. You're still going to want to see those guys at quarterback and see how they play.

[Joe Hayden]

Yes.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Why not just say, well, we're going to know who our starting quarterback is before the first regular season game. Leave it at that and keep it going? Because all this stuff he's saying right here, it sound like anybody could be the quarterback. It could be Watson, it could be Shador, it could be Gilbert, it could be Green, the dude they just picked up. Joe, what is going on with your coach here that he can't give a straight answer? And then he seems to be talking about what somebody put out there about the reps being flipped over. Like, why not just say we're gonna, we're gonna figure out who our starting quarterback is before the first regular season game instead of going and giving all this mumble jumbo, double talking. Browning, I guess, because he's coach for the Browns. I don't know. But I'm asking you.

[Joe Hayden]

This is what I. I understand what you're saying. If I was you, I would do the same thing. Say, it doesn't matter. He needs to have his own. He got his own timetable. So if he says before the first game of the season, Debo, I, I'm with you 1000%. He's kind of like, he don't need to rush. I feel like if he would have said, I'm going to have my starter by the first game of the season. It's just, he's Making more conversation that doesn't need to be made. You're exactly right. I think that when you say things like just only had. They've only had three practices. You know what I'm saying? There's time.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Why? But you only had three practices already switching from who's starting the practice, not even who's starting with the most reps. Because with the ones.

[Joe Hayden]

Because when you're having a quarterback competition, because when you're having a quarterback competition, that's what you do sometimes. One guy's going to get more reps one day and the next guy is going to get more reps the next day.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Nobody talking about Dylan or.

[Joe Hayden]

No, this is what I'm saying. No, I mean, obviously Shador was already the starting quarterback. I mean, Shador already started. DeShawn's coming back making $46 million this year. That's the two quarterbacks. Dylan, Gabriel, you had your chance. And Shador, in my opinion, looked like he was better. Has a better trajectory to be actual starting quarterback. So now it's him and DeSean in a quarterback battle. Some days DeSean's going to have more reps, some days Shador is going to have more reps. And people are living and dying by every throw. The quarterbacks and the coach, they going to have to go back, see, watch, evaluate, and then they're going to pick who they want to be the starting quarterback and then we're going to go from there. So it's just everybody like you, everybody like people is just trying to make a big deal out of. Oh no, he's getting more reps this day. He's getting more reps. That support for

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

You talked to Mary Kay?

[Joe Hayden]

Look. No, I'm saying you're talking about the article that Mary Kay said. Because Mary Kay's putting out there. Oh, we got more reps this day. Oh, we got. Because that's what happens when you're battling the next day. Shador probably get more reps. Like, it's only.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

She said that. Yeah, I'm sure Mary Kay would Actually said that if that ended up happening and turning back around, because she did. She'd been doing this since the early 80s. She Basically.

[Joe Hayden]

It doesn't matter.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Experienced, you know, analyst, reporter, sports, however you want to call it.

[Joe Hayden]

You gonna tell me just because they get voted and win an award, them same people was the one that took. That kept out Bill Belichick. Like there's. They don't know what they don't know some people. She's good.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

I like it when I like it and I don't like it and I don't.

[Joe Hayden]

When I don't like. You know, the reporters out there in Pittsburgh too. If somebody gets a reward, you think that just means that they're good? No, you could still be doing foggy things and win.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Oh, so you saying she ain't good? She just.

[Joe Hayden]

No, I'm saying that some people could. To each his own. To each his own.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Okay.

[Joe Hayden]

Okay.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

I'm just. I'm just asking because the, you know, with this monking thing, the report says the Browns hired Trent. What is that ballot? And they consoling role.

[Joe Hayden]

The consultant role.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

So the Browns hired longtime NFL executive exec Trent Balky.

[Joe Hayden]

Yep.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

In a consultant like capacity. Yo.

[Joe Hayden]

Too many books in the kitchen.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

No, Joe. Jaguars fired him. The kitchen gym in 2025, off season. And he has been out of the NFL since last season. Okay. Now, during his tenure in Jacksonville, The Jags went 25 and 43 with head coach Urban Meyer and Doug Patterson, along with interim coach Darrell Belvin. Yeah, Autumn. Autumn Got fired, Joe. Everybody got fired.

[Joe Hayden]

Now look, everybody fired.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Problem, Joe. Here go the problem. Now this, this actually. What is it? It's 25. So that was 25. So in 25, before they got the coach that they actually got now, Liam Cohen. Yeah, he was the old coordinator for the Buccaneers. Right. And he actually had decided to pass on the second interview, a head coach position for. For Jacksonville and stay with the Bucks. Along with it was Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn saying the same thing, that they was gonna pass because they didn't want the job if he was still going to be the gm. And of course, later, Cohen took the job with the incentive that he could pick his own GM. And this all started all the way back in 2014 when old Trent and Jim Hardball was bumping heads, mutually agreed to part ways. More people say it was more like a firing over there than it was a mutual agreement with the owners. Obviously siding with Trent over Jim. And everything went downhill from there until he was fired in 2016. Okay. So he took and didn't want to listen to Jim Harbaugh over there with the 49ers after they had, I think they went to a championship game or won the championship. I can't remember which one it was. But he decided he was big dog. He wanted to do everything his way. Obviously, on the side winning. And it was like, we're going to go your way and we're going to get rid of Jim. Jim went over there to Michigan and started cheating up some storms and winning some money. I mean, winning some games and all that. Anyway. All right, so he would later get fired in 2016 from the 49ers. He would go to the Jaguars in 21 until 24. And it has been a steady decline since then. Bro.

[Joe Hayden]

Yes.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

What is it about old Trent that y' all brown? See, that makes you or makes your organization want to bring him in to consult about what? How not to do it?

[Joe Hayden]

I'm with you 1000% on this one. And I'm pissed. I'm just sitting here taking it. What the fuck he gonna come help us consult about? Leave us alone. Don't come over here with your losing vibes.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

I brought him in, Joe.

[Joe Hayden]

I don't need none of that energy. Why were you consulting? What are you consulting us about? We're doing just fine. Andrew Barry is over here cooking right now.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

I think Andrew Barry brought him in. They say he known for bringing something in. Maybe he's bringing them in to make himself look better than.

[Joe Hayden]

No, this is all I'm saying. No, look. Look how bad he did.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

I'm gonna bring him in here and try and rehabilitate him.

[Joe Hayden]

Rehabilitate him. This is all I'm saying. I don't think bringing more cooks in the kitchen is what we need. We just got out.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

I thought you said he was cooking. Why would you need somebody else?

[Joe Hayden]

That's what I'm saying. He's a lone ranger right now. He's my Gordon Ramsay. I don't need nobody else throwing in no damn ingredients or nothing. I like you doing what you're doing. We got the podesta out of there. So now I'm like, okay, you don't have no handcuffs. I feel like you're bringing in handcuffs, Andrew. I. I don't want it. I don't want it to be just on you. You did the draft last year. Amazing. You did the draft this year. I'm loving it. What the hell are you bringing in somebody to consult? You want nobody consulting you? I want you to be doing what you're doing. You and Todd Monkin, y' all consult each other. Y' all figure out what we want to do here. We don't need to bring in.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

We know for sure who brought him in.

[Joe Hayden]

I don't know. And the thing is, I don't care, because I think that when you keep bringing in other consultants, other people, that other. No, we don't need that. You're the general manager.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

I'm just trying to see who's trying to sabotage it, that's all. Is it the owner? Is it the GM himself?

[Joe Hayden]

That's what I'm saying.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

This man been out of it for a whole year, and you want to know nothing positive? I want to know 2014. I want to know what is it that you got? You got pictures of somebody, you got what you got text, what you got that done got you back in here in a consultant capacity, and you ain't did nothing with it since you showed your hand and made Jim Harbaugh get up out of there and saw and. And showed that you couldn't do it and then went over there to Jacksonville. I mean. Yeah, Jacksonville. And did the same thing.

[Joe Hayden]

This one dumbfounds me because I genuinely don't understand why you would bring him in. I don't. We don't need more cooks. We don't need more people in there. I'd like Sasha. I mean, Andrew Berry. We got you in here. You're cooking. Do what you need to do. So that's. It's a good point. I don't need to ask. Was it Andrew Berry's idea to bring him in? I would hope not.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

I would definitely hope it is not, because if it is, that is scary. Yeah, that is scary. And then it's still scary for his job security. If it isn't. It's a scary situation. Either way it go. He's cooking. Yes. I ain't gonna lie. He did good last year. What? He did what they produced. He did good last year, dude. He got all them high drafts. He went and made it work. He. He made it. He made.

[Joe Hayden]

He.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

He made the. He made it count. Yes. This year, he got. He got some good picks.

[Joe Hayden]

We'll see if it pans out. Yes.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

But if that's him saying, I'm not too sure what I did, I need a consultant. I'm ready to fire you as the owner if you did that, and if you're the owner, and I'm saying I'm getting a consultant because you ain't cooking right then. Now you sitting there like, is my job even secure? That you got to bring somebody else in.

[Joe Hayden]

Yeah, no, I'm with you. I just don't understand the fact that when you do have a gm, these. All these consulting people, I'm like, no, you got your scouting. You have your general manager. You have people that run it. Omar. Did Omar have a consultant?

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Omar ain't got no consultant, baby.

[Joe Hayden]

I mean. Cause you don't need no goddamn consultant. Because he's the gm. He consulting with himself, and he consulting with me.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Joe, Joe, feeling some kind of way, man?

[Joe Hayden]

Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe. Feeling some kind of way when you got that organization? When I go over there to Pittsburgh, bruh, they will always ask me, what's the difference between Cleveland and Pittsburgh? Up top. When you got your GMs and you got what's my man was before Omar.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Kevin Colbert.

[Joe Hayden]

Kevin Colbert. You got Kevin, you got Omar, you got dudes that don't feel like. When you talk about needing consulting, you're consulting with your head coach. Because we're putting this together. It's me and you, and we're building this team, and we're going to figure it out. The owner may be. You know what I'm saying? But for real. For real, you got your guys, you got your gm, and you got your coach. Y' all are building this squad together. Y' all could be on the same accord when you start bringing in more consultants, what is he consulting you about? You and the coach figure out what y' all need all this extra. Like, you have scouting departments, all those people for show. But when you just bring in somebody. Consultant. What are you talking about? What are you doing?

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Hey, man, this could be one of them situations where, you know, hey, they done hired a new coach. He might not have been too sure about the gym. I'm saying, as the owner. As the owner. And the owner is like, you know what? I need somebody on the inside to be all the way inside on everything and tell me what's going on and feed me the tidbits. What's going on. This could be a situation where he might be even trying to sabotage gm.

[Joe Hayden]

Ask your general manager. That's like a spy.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

That's what it is. Spy. You said spy.

[Joe Hayden]

You. You hitting.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

You trying to hit somebody? What you needed to know, what you want to know because you feel like they might not be telling you the whole story. Hey, you got to think about this, man.

[Joe Hayden]

What's up?

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

I'm. I'm the Haslins. Except I'm Harrison. I'm Harrison. I own the Browns. Okay? And I don't know about football. And I can't do nothing about it. But I got money. I'm a billionaire. You think you go tell me how to run a business and who I want to put in there? Hell, no, you not. You ain't nothing but a millionaire. I'm a billionaire. You'll do as I say when I say it.

[Joe Hayden]

Yeah.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

You know that control that comes in,

[Joe Hayden]

you know that's not what. Yeah. Oh, my goodness. Debo. This is not good. They stress me out a little bit. I ain't gonna lie.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Hey, I'm. Hey, it's okay, man. It's okay. You should have knew that this wasn't gonna be a straight pattern of this.

[Joe Hayden]

We still got. It's just the off season. We got time.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

We gotta get onto the football. Y' all doing. Y' all doing this. The draft already done. Why is y' all even hiring me? For what you telling me he messed up so bad? You hiring somebody right now to help consult for next?

[Joe Hayden]

But that's the crazy part. He didn't mess up.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

I'm just saying.

[Joe Hayden]

Andrew Barry did not mess up.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

I'm just. I know he didn't, bro. I know he didn't. I'm saying. I'm just looking. I'm looking at. I'm just.

[Joe Hayden]

I'm just.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

You know me, man.

[Joe Hayden]

I gotta.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

I gotta hit all avenues. I gotta be able to say, you know, I gotta think. I gotta be able to think unlogical when we're talking about Cleveland.

[Joe Hayden]

You love when these things happen.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

I don't love this.

[Joe Hayden]

Yes, you do. Yes, you do.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Maybe. Yeah. You little.

[Joe Hayden]

And I don't like it a little.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

I might like.

[Joe Hayden]

I don't like when we do it to ourselves.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

I like when y' all do it to yourselves. Because that meant it's. It's. It's cell phone self warfare. Like y' all can't even get out of your own way. That's the greatest we're gonna have.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Hey, boss, you know what they said?

[Joe Hayden]

What's up?

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

They said they wouldn't go listen to you.

[Joe Hayden]

because they didn't want to listen to you. I'm. I'm gonna tell you everything that. That you want to know, Mr. Haslam. What you want to know?

[Joe Hayden]

Leave my dog, Mr. Haslam. Leave my dog Mr. Haslam alone, man.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

And I think. I think Monkin went home at 8:35pm he should have been there to 9:15. If I was. If I was head coach, I would be there.

[Joe Hayden]

Come on, man. I. Todd is in that thing.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

Just saying.

[Joe Hayden]

Oh, man. My coach in that thing.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

I'm just. Hey, listen. I'm just saying if I was there, I'd be sleeping in the office. That's what he telling me.

[Joe Hayden]

That's what I gotta get.

[James 'Deebo' Harrison]

You gotta find out who hired him, Joe.

[Joe Hayden]

That's no for sure. That's what I mean. I'm. I'm. I'm hit. Andrew. I'm hitting Andrew Barrett.
