Let's listen to some talk back.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Listen to the clouds, get me a bud of sprout Jones.
We hope those other two diver come back. Come on,
dohing comes most in this show.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
You're darn right. We got Hank. I'n't hurt Hank in
a while. Hank was here on Monday.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
Okay, okay, show.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
Right's wild Hey reads only three back in the wild card.

Speaker 3 (00:51):

he's back football, which I was glad to hear.

Speaker 4 (00:58):
I'm glad to everybody got my mic Gazeki babahead today,
I go, is it a Jaggs? I think the offense
bounces back. I think it's a T. Higgins kind of day.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
For some reason, I got a question about you yo
sitting in the box door.

Speaker 4 (01:18):
He had zero targets, whether a healthy scratch or did
Joe just not find him who that.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
I don't think he was open. I don't think he
was targeted much that right there.

Speaker 5 (01:29):
Though.

Speaker 6 (01:29):
It gets me excited because when we were in here
yesterday Austin, there was a sales meeting going on and
they started talking about holiday packages, and it got me
thinking about the holidays, and then we hear that from
Yosi Vasha they're selling packages. I'm ready for the holiday season.

Speaker 7 (01:45):
Man.

Speaker 8 (01:46):
I think there needs to be like a study done
on us Reds fans, because you know, my brain's telling
me we've been hurt so many times before. It's like
a crappy relationship where you know they're bad for you,
but they bring so much joy to your life, and
then all of a sudden it seems like they're crappy
to you again, and then out of nowhere, they creep
up all these positive things they keep doing for you, yep,

(02:07):
just to get heart broken in the end. But maybe
they won't break our heart this time, Or am I
being naive?

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Your nive? Everything's good until they start reaching for the bottle.

Speaker 6 (02:15):
Yeah, you start thinking and it's like, well, this time
they're different. Yep, this time they're changed. And then events start.

Speaker 9 (02:21):
Bench cut Matt McClain makes the opening day roster for
twenty twenty six, U See makes a Bowl game, or
Joe Burrow finishes the season without getting hurt.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
Love the show, guys, Oh hope you have a great day.

Speaker 6 (02:36):
I'm gonna start Burrow finishing the season without getting hurt,
just because I'm gonna speak that in new existence. Okay,
I'm going to bench you see making a bowl game,
and I'm going to cut Matt McClain.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
That's what I'm doing.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
I'm gonna start you see, doesn't make a bowl game,
I'm gonna bench Matt McClain. I'm gonna cut Joe Burrow
gets old at some point.

Speaker 10 (02:54):

about because I have an ap vote right, Bearcats one
through twenty five.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
You say you don't know who they are.

Speaker 5 (03:48):
I know I live at Camp higher Grounds check Brundle out.

Speaker 11 (03:58):
Hey, Tony and Austin can prime Hilton Head here, Ken, you, Tony,
let's hear some more of those stories from your playing days.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Those are great here. God, I like hearing all that stuff.

Speaker 11 (04:14):
And also, you know, I get frustrated with the.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Red but I'm not giving up one of them yet.
Come on, guys, you can do it, Tony, Let's get
them going.

Speaker 6 (04:25):
There are There are a few times in life or
I can hear something and I can close my eyes
and I can be at that at that spot, Ken
right now is sitting on a beach and you can
hear because there's always that that heavy breeze at the beach,
and you hear the waves crashing in. I could take
myself there right now.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
Do you on your phone ever use the background sounds
to help you sleep?

Speaker 12 (04:48):
No?

Speaker 2 (04:49):
I do.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
I do this every night, and there's a bunch of
different background sounds you can use. There's like a bright noise,
dark noise, rain stream. I choose ocean. Okay, this is
this is what happens. What sounds like.

Speaker 6 (05:06):
Hmm, waves just crashing in. Yeah, I could. I could
transport myself there right now. That's when I sleep every night.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
I hear that.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
Should we do like a box score from a random
game of your college career between now and every week
between now and Okay?

Speaker 2 (05:25):
I like that. Do you mind if I put some
bad games in there? Nope? Whatever and whatever anything.

Speaker 13 (05:30):
Just don't normally hunt jaguars. Are you the hunter or
the prey? I ask, how do you? How do you
spell them prey p r A y because there's a
lot of praying going on now with defense?

Speaker 2 (05:46):
What p r E y? Jim, you need prayer? That's
from praying.

Speaker 12 (05:53):
Yeah, the lady went to ap Pole. Well, you don't
have to be perfect, but you got to put South
Florida ahead Florida. You gotta have common sense, Lane Kiff,
and shouldn't have said that.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
No, I mean, I'm a gambler.

Speaker 12 (06:08):
There's no way he should say that. I'm excited about
this Bengals front seven.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
Let's get after it all right.

Speaker 6 (06:18):
I feel like in the gambling world, you got to
know when to hold him and you got to know
when to fold him.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
No one to walk.

Speaker 14 (06:25):
As Richmond, Happy Wednesday.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
To you never count your money.

Speaker 14 (06:32):
Kats in this game. Yes on Saturday. I know we
have no business playing this team. I'm just wondering what's
an acceptable outcome for you? Is it a fifty to
nothing blewout? I mean, what is it that we want
to see? And I was curious if you would ask
Dan that question as well. What does he want to
see on Saturday?

Speaker 6 (06:54):
Minnesota? And don't do they still row the boat in Minnesota?
Is that that? That same coach that rows the boat?

Speaker 2 (07:01):
Ain't nobody known know any thing about Minnesota? Man, he's
the you know what I'm talking about though?

Speaker 3 (07:05):
Yeah he rose something, Yeah, PJ Street, PJ Fleck Fleck Yeah, yeah,
so that's what you get in your teeth.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
Yeah, he still rows the boat.

Speaker 6 (07:15):
They they were up on the Northwestern State Demons, Demons
thirty five nothing after one quarter. They were beating them
fifty nine nothing at the half. I would like to
see the Bearcats win this game by fifty points. I'll
start there.

Speaker 7 (07:32):
Hello, this is former president Ronald Rigg. You know, Will
Sunday HiT's paint to the jungle orange Will. Normally a
Bengel doesn't eat an opa lopa, but if they're hungry enough,
they will.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (07:52):
Yeah, I can't remember which one of you guys said.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
You were a uniform murdered. That's me.

Speaker 15 (07:57):
But James Orpene has a black helmet with orange stripes
in his display behind him when he does his podcast.
That helmet would look freaking awesome with orange jerseys and
white pants. No, no good, people that know.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
I disagree with you on that.

Speaker 6 (08:21):
I don't know if I like that combination, but I
feel like that guy's voice. I could listen to him
read a story.

Speaker 3 (08:26):
I don't think a black helmet would look good with
this week's combination. I think the Bengals are maxed out
on their helmets because they have the all white one.
But you can buy those. I know they used to
them at the pro shop, used to sell them all
the time. They're really popular. I've never been a big
fan personally, but I know a lot of people do.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
Like I'd like to hear him really.

Speaker 16 (08:43):
Okay, So that Jaguars Bengals betting line three and a half,
that's very very weird. You have three points just for
being at home two to three points. So are they
saying that they're even teams? I don't know that that's
a weird line. Also, there is a team that's going
to catch it it catch the Mets, but it's going

(09:04):
to be the Giants.

Speaker 8 (09:05):
Yes.

Speaker 16 (09:05):
And also, Austin, I would definitely rethink that, uh that
Packers proclamation before the season.

Speaker 3 (09:11):
Well I did, I said the next because the next
day they traded for Micah Micah and I said, Okay,
that might be enough to get them into that tier.

Speaker 6 (09:19):
It feels like with the spread on some Sunday, someone
could be hiding something.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
Well there.

Speaker 6 (09:24):
At the same time, Austin, you've been a proponent, been
trying to tell people, You've told people all off season
about this game, and I think that has been shown
in what the line is right now?

Speaker 2 (09:37):
Hey, Mike, who would win a panther or a jaguar?
Poor polar bear? Probably a polar bear. How much is
the polar bear away? Though? A lot? Enough to break
the ice? Ha ha, But hey, this DJ the Bengal
promo for the Jags Bengals game.

Speaker 12 (10:00):
I could have done without Mike's assessment of animal kingdom.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
I thought that was one of Mike's best Kingdom's Jaguars
versus I learned something and jaguars jumping out of trees.
Come on, Mike killing me. I learned something today.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
There's some great videos if you ever look it up
of jaguars, uh, stalking alligators. Oh, and they like dive
into the water hunting alligators. It's fascinating to watch.

Speaker 17 (10:26):
Good Afternoon Two things, Fellas, Jacksonville.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
It's all hype. They are not going to touch us, Okay.

Speaker 17 (10:33):
And I was wondering would it be possible for Mike
to get his own segment like the Mike Minute, so
we can kind of know what time he was going
to be on every day?

Speaker 2 (10:41):
Thanks, I don't think Mike knows when he's gonna be
on every day the Mike Minute. Yes, we can sponsor it.

Speaker 3 (10:48):
He gets about a Mike hour every day between our
show and we sponsor it.

Speaker 7 (10:52):
Hey, fellas, get at them, and you know, I.

Speaker 18 (10:55):
Think Forrest Gump said it best when describing the Bengals.
It's like a box of chocolates. You never know what
you're going to get. They're such a Jeckel and High
team that the offense could be brilliant and the defense
can stink, or like last week, the defense can be
good and the offense can stink. There's such a Jekyl
and High team that you just don't know until kickoff

(11:17):
what's going to happen. Do you guys agree, Uh?

Speaker 6 (11:20):
I don't think they're jeckling hide. I think for the
most part, you know what they're going to be offensively,
and I think Water will find its level a little
bit Defensively. I think they're they're better than what they
were last year. I don't think they're going to be
as good as what they were able to do Sunday
all year.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
I think it's fair to say that the Bengals secondary
is Jekyl and Hyde because sometimes bodies high. Yeah, Like,
sometimes those guys look like sometimes and other times they
look like it's their first time on a football field.
So I would say that element of them is definitely inconsistent.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
Hey, hey, I was just wondering, why do they call
it pay us interference? Who don't they call it catch interference? Well?

Speaker 6 (12:03):
That is that rule is so stupid. They're interfering with
the past that was thrown.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
The amount of times that that is called on passes
that are uncatchable is disgusting.

Speaker 19 (12:14):
With the main concern being Jacksonville's Travis Ntn. It could
be a big get day for linebackers for the Bengals,
including Grin and Barrett Carter, Soren Orrin Burt, Oh, Demetrious
Knight and the Pips and Logan Hello, mister Wilson Bengals

(12:37):
thirty to twenty.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
Good day, now, see that's a way at our own hearts.
Yeah it is. You throw some name game out there.
You know who starts tomorrow night for the Packers?

Speaker 14 (12:46):
Who's that?

Speaker 2 (12:47):
Jordan?

Speaker 3 (12:47):
I can't help, but wow, I can't help falling in?
Whoa I won your best one?

Speaker 2 (12:53):
Huh?

Speaker 18 (12:53):
If we get Joe today, all you beat riders who
listen into the show, will you please ask about getting
the plays.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
In on times?

Speaker 20 (12:59):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (13:00):
Do it get hit with that one that we know of? Well,
I know rappeen don't got the gun.

Speaker 6 (13:05):
Now we try to call him to make him do
it today accounts. That's actually not a joke. Like I'm busy.

Speaker 3 (13:11):
Try to call James before the show to ask him
a question about something important.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
He just ignores it. Bad busy? What's up? Are bad?
And you know are bad?

Speaker 7 (13:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (13:23):
By the way, this is your show? By the way,
yeah tomorrow night. What a Thursday night game?

Speaker 2 (13:29):
That is?

Speaker 5 (13:30):
I know?

Speaker 2 (13:30):
Starting off hot.

Speaker 14 (13:34):
Afternoon, Miss Kate from Montgomery, I have time this talk
back to coincide with the cut in the Hill.

Speaker 16 (13:42):
On seventy five north coming home from the airport.

Speaker 17 (13:45):
Beautiful Cincinnati.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
Paper Stadium, great American ballparks, the.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
River, the bridges.

Speaker 6 (13:52):
We're lucky to live in Cincinnati.

Speaker 7 (13:55):
For the greater Cincinnati area.

Speaker 20 (13:57):
Hey day.

Speaker 6 (13:58):
I'll tell you what, much like that beach conversation earlier,
I could put myself in the exact spot she was into.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
Yep, never gets old.

Speaker 21 (14:06):
Repping the city out here. Man, that video got me
super hyped. I'm ready to run through the wall with
snop buffers already showing my stripes. Jacksonville about to get
beat down thirty five to twenty one Bengals Burrow three
eighty three touchdowns is going down. We're gonna see the
kitty gritty by Mike Team and Bear Katz. We know

(14:26):
you're gonna blow.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
This team out.

Speaker 21 (14:27):
I'm not biting that apple. I already told you what
it was. That coach is hot. That's he gonna stay hot.
And dang did it Rids win.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
I think they did it the kitty gritty. I like
that a lot.

Speaker 22 (14:41):
Tony Austin see in here. That first game, I instantly
felt relieved, even though it was the Browns. It doesn't
matter the defense is already better. We're gonna get into
the playoffs, okay, and that's when we are dangerous.

Speaker 20 (15:03):
Okay, okay, Hey Mike from LA you got me doing
a little bit of thinking about a tiger and a jaguar.
So the jaguar has the strongest bite of any big cat,
up to two thousand pounds per square inch, which could
could crush the tiger the skull of a tiger, but
the mouth of a jaguar can only open up to
eleven inches wide, and the head of a Bengal tiger

(15:26):
is up to twelve inches wide, so he can't even
bite him.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
Take that.

Speaker 23 (15:30):
Oh okay, all right, as Michael from CoV what up though,
Hey are you negative Bengel fans?

Speaker 2 (15:39):
Shut up? Oh?

Speaker 23 (15:40):
Like, I would much rather have an ugly wind than
a pretty loss yep. You know, and we was on
the other side of that coin last year, so you
know anyway, who they love it, guys.

Speaker 2 (15:53):
Love you, Michael Man. You know it's a good point.

Speaker 3 (15:56):
We talked about how in the offseason the Bengals basically
said we just got unlucky last year. Well they got
pretty lucky. On Sunday, is the world evening out?

Speaker 2 (16:07):
Water finding its level.

Speaker 3 (16:09):
Bengals have won six straight regular season games. Wow, questions, comments, concerns.
Is that the longest streak in football? I think it's tied. Yeah, okay,
who's the tide with? I can't remember. Probably the Eagles.

(16:30):
You're looking it up because we need to take a break.
Oh that's all of our talk about.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
Yeah, we're done. Ok Sorry, I didn't tell you that.
That's fine.

Speaker 3 (16:37):
That's on me, brother, yep. I am just get ready
for this disastrous weekend you got coming up where you
get to talk about football for a.

Speaker 6 (16:44):
Little take a break on to watch the football games.
