Here every show at ESPN fifteen thirtydot com. Okay, Talkbacks, Welcome
(00:34):
back Sindy three sixty, ESPN fifteenthirty Austin Elmore, and it's time for
everybody's favorite segment, Talkbacks. Niceof Tony to invite some of us into
the delivery room the other day towitness the miracle of childbirths. It was
intense. I thought slick Willie wasgoing to pass out now. John Michael,
(00:59):
he was great. He assisted Meredithwith her breathing and when it was
go time, he was yelling poush, poosh. Don't he even let loud
talkback guy cut the cord. That'sa heck of a visual. So we
(01:19):
have some housekeeping to do, allright. Yesterday Drew and Mason was so
upset with me that he actually cussedon air. Everyone has a role when
they call in on talkbacks. Myrole for the last two three years has
been to make Tony groan when hehears my name and have Austin throw me
under the bus. So, yeah, I'm not funny, but that's my
(01:42):
role, and that's the character Iplay. I guess on talkbacks. Yeah,
Jim, it's a good way tolook at it. I do want
to clarify Drew did not curse onthere on the air. He said stick.
It sounded like something else, buthe did say stick. And I
have the thing here on our appto prove it. Yeah, Jim,
I think sometimes it's hard for meto tell whether or not you're serious,
(02:06):
and sometimes that means we've grown andwe throw you under the bus. But
you know, I appreciate that.Happy victory Thursday. I'm on with you
than Ken here, very happy thatthe Red Legs got the split against the
Guardians. Now we can get backto another seven game winning straight man.
I said in maz and six lookinglike Celtics and four now often I want
(02:27):
to say, you're doing a finejob, sir. Don't let anybody tell
you different. And how do Inotice? Because you're looking for a way
to get better. Those who don'tbecome stale and boring have a great day.
Everybody, Always remember hone, Kevin, thank you so much. Man.
Really do appreciate that. I don'twant to be stale and boring.
I know that for sure. HeyAustin, it's talkback matters guy. I'm
(02:50):
very sorry and gets calling yesterday becausewell I've Scott busy, but unfortunately I
heard about the loss of your grandmalland very very sorry to hear that.
You're a great dude, and I'msorry for your loss. As far as
the Reds are concerned, Listen,the Reds got to have a veteran,
and not any of the so calledveterans that's on their team. They need
(03:13):
a veteran, they need a powerhitter. Your thoughts. You've said the
same thing. First of all,thank you. You've said the same thing
several times. I don't know whatelse you want me to say. Yeah,
I don't necessarily disagree with you thatthey need a veteran and that they
(03:34):
need a power hitter. I justdid a whole segment on how they need
a power hitter. I don't knowhow many veterans are out there that they
can just pluck. And I don'tknow how much veterans really going to help
them this year, to be completelyhonest with you, so but thank you.
Hello, this is former President RonaldReagan and Will it looks like it's
(03:57):
going to have to be the MAVsand seven year Oh and Audie, I
remember how you said you always comeup with nicknames for everyone. Yes,
and may I humbly recommend that youcall Tony and Merediths new baby wild Man
after your favorite local sports radio personality, wild Man Walker. That's gonna be
a hard pass, mister President,But thank you that day back in the
(04:20):
day when it was really really badday and they handed your back on the
way in. That was my littleleague bat every year for year after year.
Uh. Obviously they can't do thatnow. Unfortunately, I have had
I've heard stories about bat day.That's a good one. One of the
great stadium giveaways of all time wasit wasn't there a kid glove thing that
(04:42):
they did. To correct me ifI'm wrong on that, Hey often market
from the grove Marcus. The beststadium giveaway that I had. Now,
for me, I've only been toone stadium and that's the Reds. That
the best one that I've gotten wasthe little radio and that they gave on
Party's final home game. I stillhave it today. But the best promotion
(05:05):
was they had a rope around theoutfield and the Reds came out of the
dugout and you could get a picturewith him around the ballpark. That's cool,
I do. Yeah, the promotionsof I remember being able to run
the bases when I was a littlekid. That was awesome. I think
that's cool. I wish they wouldstill do that, But yeah, you
kind of stole my thunder there,Marcus. The radio. Maybe I can
(05:28):
tell the story from Marty's Last Game. The radio that they gave gave away
that day. I use it everysingle day. I was just actually talking
to Tommy Thraw about that the otherday and he was like, no kidding,
because I listened to every game.I almost never watch. I will
watch the condensed game like the nextday, but it's difficult for me to
(05:49):
watch, and many of you feelmy pain in that it's impossible to watch
in a like an easy way,at an affordable way. So I listened
to every game. I watched thecondence game on the MLB app the next
day most of the time, andI used that little radio that they gave
away at Marty's Last game every time. Autin. Have you heard these audible
(06:12):
commercials that y'all run on the IRradio app? They're a bit out of
pocket, man. I don't evenneed to try and stay Men's Health center
whatever center anymore. I mean,I just listened to these audible commercials that
get me going. Yeah, no, haven't heard those. I'm glad that
it's working for you. Also,that was Andy ak Knight or whatever his
(06:36):
name is. He said that,you know, maybe we should have Rick
Boring on now that Tony's gone.We had Rick Boring on last week Austin
Thursday. Come on, Timmy Tucusdoesn't get Tony in all his walker talk.
T Pen needs to get himself afifty four and zero turn rider.
Make his life a little easier outtwo cuts, Best of luck tonight.
(06:58):
I don't know what time blades godown, but to you, I got
your two cuts shirt right here.You hear this. You can't really hear
it, but I got the Igot the shirt, Old Timmy, two
cuts. What up, Audie?What's from the U? Hey? Thank
god for Jamers night. Dude wasa wrecking ball on those commanders or guardians,
(07:19):
indians, whatever you call them thesedays. Commanders anyway, bring on
the Brewers. The stash survived tothe weekend. Go red legs, go
big blue. All right, Craiger, best of luck to you. I
used to work with a guy namedCraig, and I called him Craiger.
Kind of going back to that previousthing he hated that almost got punched in
the face for calling him craiger once. Hey, Austin got here. I'll
(07:43):
take a split with the Guardians anytimeperiod. And why is have we only
played them two games at a time? Why don't we have three game sets
or four game sets with the Guardiansthem being a Ohio Cup rival and interstate
rival? Uh, we only playthem four times? Or we the Reds
(08:05):
only play them four times in aseason. Uh, so they split it
up two and two, so it'snot like three games and one in all
four at a time because they becauseit's two in Cincinnati, two in Cleveland
basically, so they've split it upthat way. Hey, what's up with
all the squatty potty commercials? Nopoop? Just fine? Wasn't that a
product presented on Chark Tank about twentyyears ago? Well, you know,
(08:28):
not every advertisement is you know,aimed directly at you. Maybe there are
others that don't. They already.What the Reds need to do they need
to bring back Joey Vado now hearme out, made to bring him back
as a player manager, class hittinginstructor, right class first base coat.
(08:52):
Uh huh, class Mayor Vender classbuild security guard right to be having already
played well running on down never Field. Thank you appreciate that. I keep
hearing people say that what Milwaukee Birdis doing isn't sustainable, what the Reds
are doing isn't sustainable. You can'tkeep a lying on Candelario to keep hitting
(09:13):
home runs like he's Aaron Judge.It ain't who he is. And they
definitely do need a bat like thatbecause none of the rest of the team
is hitting. And also can westop with the Joey Bado coming back as
a player hitting coach like that?That this ain't in nineteen seventies. That
ain't happening. Like, come on, man, just because he could hit
doesn't mean he can teach it forthe first time maybe ever. You and
(09:35):
I agree on everything, had yourhouse in it, Joe Buddy the tuck
back camp. Come on now andI take your live to my press conference
with Harriet Carey about the upcoming election. Yeah that Guss said that gays Neck
qualified to run. He shooting ranand we are the ticket you should vote
(10:00):
out. Yeah, that guy's notvery good either. I don't know how
you'd vote for him. Thank you. Hi, This is Kate from Montgomery
bringing to you today's Bengals press conference. Let's get started. Oh yeah,
great question. Well, we're goingto use some good communication until we get
(10:22):
that all sorted out. We'll knowmore soon here. Thanks. Yeah,
well, we're definitely seeing progress inthat. We've got high right right,
Yeah, getting them out on thefield. Thanks. Oh, we'll have
to get back to you on thatone. Thanks. Oh Kate, that's
good. You made me laugh.The Bengals have a month to figure it
out. They have a month tofigure it out or else I'm going to
(10:45):
be pretty angry with them. Andmaybe these reds hitters just aren't that good.
We keep basing what we saw offlast year in that twelve game stretch
where they won twelve games in arow, saying oh, they're really good
because we saw them do it likethat. That was such a small sample
size. Maybe they're really not thatgood of an offensive team and they do
(11:05):
need a bat. They probably needa couple bats. I'm not basing my
opinions on these guys based off ofthe twelve game win streak. I'm basing
my opinions off what they did inthe entirety of twenty twenty three. Spencer
Steer hit two seventy one twenty threehomers, was on base three point fifty
in one hundred and fifty six gameslast year. TJ. Friedel was two
(11:28):
seventy nine on base three point fiftyeighteen home runs in one hundred and thirty
eight games last year. Jonathan Indiawas on base at a three thirty clip
and hit seventeen home runs in onehundred and nineteen games last year and hit
over two forty h Jake Fraley hittwo fifty six with fifteen homers in a
three thirty on base percentage in onehundred and eleven games. I mean,
(11:50):
that's what I'm looking at. TylerStevenson two forty three, one hundred and
thirteen hits last year in one hundredand forty two games, on base percentage
over three hundred. Will Benson twoseventy five last year in one hundred and
eight games, hit eleven home runs, was on base three sixty five,
a higher on base percentage than Steerand Friedel in India and McLain and Frehley
(12:15):
and just about anybody else on theteam. Not just a twelve game stretch.
It was the majority of last seasonwhere these guys were playing significant time
and performing better. It's not justabout the twelve game win streak. We
saw what they could be at theirbest during those twelve games, but as
a whole, this is who theywere, and it's hard to look at
them through sixty whatever games now andsay they're going to get back to that
(12:41):
gentlemen friendly neighborhood. But pizza dudehas found the record. But let's go
pezza Tony. Obviously, congratulations Austin. I'll keep it short when it goes
out to you. Thank you betterme once tyke a jump. Come on,
pizza guy. Yeah, I gotin an order for Jay. Yes
there, no, that is yeah. I don't understand what your previous pizza
(13:03):
dews have to do with it.I get a bigger car, less gas
milets harder to park, I getit, But I promise you that is
the holder, Jay, That's allof it. That's the whole order.
Is that a joke that I don'tget? I used to deliver pizzas?
What's the body Happy Thursday? I'mgetting so tired of hearing that the Reds
need a veteran. The Reds needto bring Joey Votto back. The Reds
(13:26):
have a veteran. His name's DavidBell. He's their manager, Freddie Binavitez.
He's a older guy. Yeah,veteran. Yeah, the pitching coach,
he's an older guy. He's theveteran. They don't need a veteran
in the locker room. Okay,let's get over that. These young guys
can ball out without a veteran overtheir shoulders. Yeah. I also think
(13:48):
Tyler Stevenson's a veteran. I thinkBrent Souter is a veteran. I think
Frankie Muntoss is a veteran. Ithink Jamer Candelario is a veteran. I
think you know those guys, LukeMayley is a veteran. I mean,
I think those guys do exist inthe locker room. Yo, Austin and
Bond ain't easy, No, it'snot nice. Giveaways the Bronson Arroyo blondehair
(14:11):
Fox Sports, Ohio. That's agood one, the Bronson Arroyo blonde hair
hat. I do remember that.I seem to remember the Cleveland Cavaliers gave
away Anderson veraisial wig headband thing fora while too. That was popular.
Austin George In the Valley. Let'sgo, George. You want to watch
the game for free, you candownload a browser on your firestick and watch
(14:31):
it at the TV app dot tO Yeah TV app, Yeah, yeah,
I do know how to do that. It's just not always as convenient
for me to do it that way, but I do know of the ways
to do that. Thank you,Luke Lima. The best I've ever seen
(14:52):
is that my dad still has twobats, Davey concepcion and a Johnny bench
he got when he was a kid. But my two favorites I've got were
the Ryan Fried old dirty shirt giveawayYes, still got that somewhere, and
the Bronson Arroyo that had the haircoming out of the back of the hat.
Yep, yep. The Bronson Arroyoone is definitely a popular one.
(15:15):
I know. I have a Bronsonbobblehead with him sticking his leg up in
the air on his wind up.That was one of my favorites. The
Ken Griffy Junior camouflage jersey was abig one when I remember when I was
younger. I think they're doing asteer jersey coming up shortly as well.
So yeah, some of the favoritefavorite Reds giveaways of all time. There
(15:37):
you go. Mine is definitely theradio. Maybe I can tell that story
shortly when we get back. Wegot phone lines open as well. Five
