RUSH: No, nobody can be there \u2019cause they\u2019re playing in Pittsburgh.<\/p>\nRUSH: Here is Jesse in Cleveland. Great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I am so thrilled to be speaking with you, Rush. I\u2019ve been trying for nearly four years to get through to you.<\/p>\n
RUSH: I\u2019m glad you did. Hey, Jesse, can I ask you a couple questions before we get to your call?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Sure.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Are you a Cleveland Browns fan?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yes, I am.<\/p>\n
RUSH: How long have you been a Browns fan?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Since I started dating a football guy in high school back in \u201971.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Okay. So you have got to be really excited. They made the playoffs for the first time in 18 years.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah, but then no one can be there. So, it\u2019s a half —<\/p>\n
RUSH: No, nobody can be there \u2019cause they\u2019re playing in Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n
RUSH: But the point is your coach can\u2019t coach \u2019cause he\u2019s got COVID.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I know. That\u2019s terrible. That\u2019s absolutely terrible, but I hope he\u2019s on the phone with somebody there. (laughing)<\/p>\n
RUSH: I like the Browns. I\u2019m a Steelers fan, but I\u2019ve liked the Browns ever since Hard Knocks featured them two seasons ago.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah, I\u2019ve been… Bernie Kosar was my favorite. I think he\u2019s a very underrated player and he\u2019s great.<\/p>\n
RUSH: You\u2019re going back to the “Cleve Brownies.”<\/p>\n
CALLER: Oh, yeah.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Vinny Testaverde. Yeah, yeah, yeah.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Right before that, Sam Rutigliano and Brian Sipe.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah, Sam “Rigatoni,” Brian Sipe and those guys.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Earnest Byner. The fumble, the drive, the catch.<\/p>\n
CALLER: “The Kardiac Kids,” yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, yeah, yeah. You\u2019ve got a great history there with Cleveland. But, anyway, I wanted to see if you\u2019re excited or if you\u2019re depressed over the COVID reach inside the team. You know, they\u2019re busing down to Pittsburgh. The Cleveland Browns have not been able to practice all week because of COVID.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I know.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Baker Mayfield, the quarterback, has not thrown a pass all week.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Well, the only thing you can say is, you know, I\u2019m at a stage in my life where you go, “it is what it is.”<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah, yeah, I know.<\/p>\n
CALLER: — (crosstalk) happens, so.<\/p>\n
RUSH: The Browns are not dictating your life. What was it you called about? I didn\u2019t mean to take you way off topic.<\/p>\n
CALLER: No, no, that\u2019s okay. I was born and raised a Democrat, and I\u2019m gonna say over, in the last 12 years, I\u2019ve slowly reached a point where I\u2019ve just become more Republican, and I don\u2019t think it\u2019s that I\u2019ve changed so much. It\u2019s that I\u2019ve seen the change towards socialism in the Democratic Party. So I recognize myself as more Republican.<\/p>\n

But my point to this whole thing is not only has
