King Corleone here from the land of the Godfathers. It
has come to my attention that this new Pope is
a White Sox fan, and ever since he became conscious
of Rome, his boys have been feeding up on my ridge.
I'm going to go and have a discussion with this
pope and that Kim Madial.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
He can't refuse.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
That that might be the best work Ken has ever
turned in.
Speaker 3 (01:58):

to six, four, ten and seven is seiling A twelve
and five, But I reserve the right to change my
opinion later on Trey Henderson press conference at you guys,
Eric yesterday, what did I get out at?
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Really much? And nothing? Old Dad.
Speaker 7 (02:49):
Pay me?
Speaker 3 (02:54):
I mean, two absolute bangers still on fire to let's.
Speaker 8 (02:58):
Go baby benefit here and listen. With the Bengals schedule
coming out last night, I see maybe thirteen wins on
them schedule, and I think the X factor on the
office is gonna be Jermaine Burton the demon. He's out
there running with his hair on by out in them OTAs,
and he's got better cuss than the neighborhood barber.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Do and listen to this, Jermain.
Speaker 8 (03:23):
You're gonna lose a lot of money chasing them crazy women,
but you ain't gonna lose no women chasing the money man.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
If uh, if you are a fan of Righteous Gemstones,
that is spot on to my guy, Baby Billy Freeman
played by Walton Goggins.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Like, is that actually a good impression? Yes, okay, that's
really good.
Speaker 7 (03:46):
Good morning guys, Jeff new Richmond, Happy Thursday two.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Yes, the new phone jout.
Speaker 7 (03:52):
The Bengals schedule release last night was definitely interesting. Four
primetime games, which is great. I love the fact that
we're playing on Thanksgiving night. That'll be a lot of fun.
I have them with the record of twelve and five,
so we'll see what happens. But I hope you guys
(04:13):
have a great day.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Who day man, Thank you sounds cool.
Speaker 9 (04:18):
Hello.
Speaker 10 (04:19):
This is former President Ronald Reagan. And well, last night
I went to a lousy Reds game and all I
got was this awesome Pete Rose Jersey. Oh and that
touching pregame ceremony only made me realize just how much
I miss winning baseball here in Cincinnati. As for the
game itself, well, the Reds put the un in fundamentals.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Yea.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
He posted a picture last night of that jersey.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
He looked, Man, I thought the jersey. You never kind
of know what those giveaways are going to be. But
all the pictures I saw, they looked like high quality,
pretty good jerseys.
Speaker 11 (04:58):
Yep.
Speaker 12 (05:00):
Hi, guys, you know, we keep having hope for this team,
and the bottom line is they are who they are.
And my old principal used to say, you can't make
a silk purse out of cotton.
Speaker 13 (05:16):
They're not a good team.
Speaker 12 (05:18):
They don't have talent, and I think we just haven
admit to it. So no more hope for me.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
I hate to say it because I'm a true Red.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Stand I'm a Reds fan. That's what I am. Reds fan.
You know they always play that when we lose, and
then it's just like a cruel way of reminding you
as you're walking out of the ballpark, this is what
you saw. Fan.
Speaker 14 (05:45):
It's God Happy Thursday, everybody. It's not so happy for
the Reds. I think you can say that this party's over.
The fat Lady has sung they're toast, they're cooked out,
and what other adjective you can fill in the blank
(06:05):
with football seasons.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Let's go, let's go. I'm all in with words, man,
just wanted your opinion real quick.
Speaker 15 (06:15):
Do you think the reason why Hendrickson is acting the
way he's doing is because he thought Joe Burrow would
stick up for him, because if you noticed in the interview,
he kept saying other people sticking up for other people,
meeting Burrow and Chase sticking up for each other, and
he's not getting the love where Burrow's putting his hands
in the air going I got nothing to do with this.
And also, do you think it's because he thought he
would be a first round pick and nobody wanted him
(06:36):
and he's his feelings are hurt and he's being a
baby about this.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
I don't think it's that he said in the in
the interview that his that was a false narrative that
they thought they could get a first round pick. Whether
you believe him or not, isn't it right? Burrow has
gone to Trey's defense next week, so fascinating. We'll find
out for sure. I just get the hunch. I don't
(07:03):
know this for sure. I have no inside information, but
I just get the hunch that the players in the
locker room they don't care either way. If Trey Hendrickson's
a Bengal. Yeah, I don't think they look at him
as this guy that they love being around and that
they they know he's good, but he's not like they're
(07:24):
not gonna miss him if he leaves.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Like, did anyone come up after practice ended in like
give him a big hug or like yell at the
media like you gotta pay this man. Yeah, no, it
hasn't happened. You've mentioned the lack of him being a
captain for this team. I just don't think that they
care that much.
Speaker 16 (07:41):
Score some runs, my rest, get some hits. Hey, the
Bengals nine and eight or ten and seven. I'm not
convinced they can beat people like the Denver Broncos. Okay,
I know you know, I know you're right now, you're
(08:02):
like going super Bowl. Let's make the playoffs first.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
You know what, I don't. I don't disagree with that.
Denver is a tough team. They got a great defense.
I hope Jim comes to your birthday bash next next, week.
I do too. I would love to meet Jim.
Speaker 16 (08:20):
Yeah, games like Denver Broncos and Green Bay Packers kind
of worry me.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
A little bit.
Speaker 16 (08:27):
Slippery slippery slope, slippery slippery slope.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
I'm getting wins. Jim is Jim.
Speaker 17 (08:36):
Okay, it's like many of us. I have uh plenty
of Red gear that I will wear on game days
to support them. Yesterday felt different. Yesterday felt like a
damn casket match. So I wore my Mitchellan, myth Undertaker cap.
Just felt like it was do or die. Yeah, we
(08:57):
all know how it went. Here lies Cincinnati Reds. First
in the league, first in our heart, destined for last
in the Central.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Wow. Wow, looks like a pretty decent crowd there today.
That's a great eulogy, to be honest, I was a
great eulogy.
Speaker 17 (09:12):
You know.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
When I was at the ballpark on Tuesday, I met
a man who came up from Nantucket. He actually came
down from Indiana. He was up north of Fort Wayne
is where he's from. And he said he got tickets
to all three games to come down to Cincinnati and
watch the Reds and be here for Pete Rose Night.
(09:32):
Sorry to hear that, so I hope they win today
for his sake, if nothing else, see you win at
the old ballpark, the old ball Orchard. But listen, here's
the thing. They win today, I will be convinced that
with the Guardians coming on Rivalry weekend and how much
that's going to mean to Tito, the Reds will be
back and they'll the Monday and then they'll sweep the Pirates.
(09:58):
And now we go here it is.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
It is time for its twenty five Cincinnati Red season too.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Finally, rest in.
Speaker 13 (10:24):
Man.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
That is good. That is fantastic, very well done. He
kind of sounded like the Undertaker. It can sound like
the dude from gosh, what's that called? Westwood one? Westwood
one Radio Network prediction.
Speaker 17 (10:43):
Sorry for good, that's for the prediction. Let's call it
seventy nine eighty three for the season.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Okay, that'd be a two game improved and disappointment. That'd
be a two game improvement and crawl. Sell us, we
got better and we just had injuries again.
Speaker 18 (10:59):
File us hang kill here and Hobo, I'm gonna tell
you what.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
I'm not going a.
Speaker 18 (11:04):
Head down to the ball park, not on watch my
Reds lose a Series two. The cad dangle hot socks, fouls,
the seasons an embarrassment. The franchise has become an embarrassment. Austin.
I'm about to take a pink for you to head
down there to Green Bay. Uh, glad that it didn't
fall on that wedding weekend. Let's bring back.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
A w Yeah, thank you. If anybody has any connections
on how to get tickets to Packers games, let me know.
Speaker 16 (11:33):
Boy.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
I'm gonna tell you what. Tell you what?
Speaker 16 (11:36):
Taking up two Perkin spots. Dave Keaton takes up two
Perking spots in the men's room.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Repping in Natty.
Speaker 19 (11:46):
I here not so sunny hot? What my red stink?
It's embarrassing to be a Reds fan. At the moment,
I had to take off my Reds head and put
on my Bengals hat. That's how embarrassed I am. On
my team now, I think elis smelly. The lineup is
Marshmallows soft wasting all as good pitching. Good job when
(12:08):
the crowd last night selling it out, But yeah, best
believed they won't be back for that crap.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
I'm confused on his team.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Yeah, crowd was awesome last night. I'll give you that.
Speaker 20 (12:19):
I went down to the stadium a couple of weeks
ago against the Nationals the Ladolo game, everyone was booing
them doing the whole team. I looked at the pup
next time, I said, did you really think they were
gonna be good? Come on, now, just sit back and
enjoy bowl game. If you don't have these high expectations,
(12:41):
the ain't gonna be disappointed. They're not one hundred one
team playing simple.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Now here's the thing. I didn't think that they were
going to be better than what they've been. But if
there's one thing I love to do, it's boo. I
love the boom. Yeah, I love the boo, and when
they are not meeting my standard, I will boo the
hell out of you. Please, please, somebody answer the question, Tony,
(13:08):
how how are the Cardinals, the Cubs Milwaukee? How are
they better than the Cincinnati Bengals? Please answer.
Speaker 11 (13:21):
What I think?
Speaker 20 (13:23):
The schedule released it for Arry Henderson's.
Speaker 21 (13:28):
I think we can go ahead and be Cleveland.
Speaker 22 (13:30):
And Jacksonville without him week three.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
We need him, Okay, get him in for week three.
Speaker 23 (13:39):
Yeah, I'd say yeah, I'd say the Bengals would win
ten or eleven. Tay the rad Sad Story I thought
Frank Conan would make it a more fundamentally sound team,
a little bit more fired up, but it shared don't
seem like it. Yeah, maybe maybe they can try to
(14:02):
get back to five hundred.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
All right, back to five hundred. Here we go.
Speaker 9 (14:07):
Last night I got down to the ballpark with my
kid and we experienced the whole night. And as we're leaving,
my kid turns to me and just says, hey, Dad,
I don't want to go to a Reds game anymore.
That's what it's gotten to, when a nine year old
doesn't even want to go to the park because your
team sucks so bad. Yeah, just like my UC cards,
(14:29):
I'm now officially turning in my Reds card until they
get back into first place, whenever that is.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
And I wish I could send that to somebody down
at the ballpark. It's tough.
Speaker 24 (14:38):
Let's later rest the Cincinnati Red That's twenty twenty five season.
We'll count down the days to Willie's Opening Day speech
next year and offer our condolences to all the rest
fans who invested time, money hopes into another Groundhog Day
Red season.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
It's so good.
Speaker 10 (15:12):
I was just wondering why so many dead people call
the show every day.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
It's a little weird because we have a good relationship
with those in the afterlife.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Hey, guys, how's it going?
Speaker 3 (15:23):
So this is very simple.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Fans need to put the pressure just like we did
with the Bengals on the ownership.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Until they make a move, this team will be bunch
of empty promises.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
How do fans put pressure on ownership? Please answer that question?
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Hey, guys, got a double dip?
Speaker 3 (15:50):
What are your thoughts.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
On the NFL once again giving the Bengals a primetime
away game in the division. That makes six now since
twenty twenty one, and yet Baltimore has had.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Five home games. Stick around our number three.
Speaker 22 (16:15):
We'll talk about it, they said, And I repeat, what's
up with Cleveland? They collecting quarterbacks like Pokemon? Which one
they gonna start? And he says, I don't care. I
know I'm a sack. Whoever it is. Hey, the way
my team feels I feel about him every year, I
(16:36):
hope they all feel that way.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Who they? Who they? Who they all?
Speaker 7 (16:40):
Right?
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Dan big Hen is the leader in the clubhouse. You
got the best voice of any talkbacker.
Speaker 25 (16:46):
I'd be willing to bet and don't tell you would
love this line he met that had listen to Sincy
three sixty Tony put Austin Elmore. He had no problem
about mid then I ain't those match.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
No, he'd be one. Here's the thing about Tony, he
can be bought.
Speaker 22 (17:05):
Nope, yeah, this Big Hen. Sorry, I told y'all I
had that stroke in November. I had to step away
from the Rids due to my health. But h on
a lighter note, the Reds themselves are sickening, embarrassing. It's
not even fun to watch. No aggressiveness at the plate.
(17:27):
I really don't need to understand what I'm watching when
I'm watching it. What like, what is it?
Speaker 3 (17:32):
I don't know? To be clear, Big Hen, are you
insinuating that the Reds caused you to have a stroke. Wow,
we hope you're doing much better. Oh, clearly he's doing
much better. He's doing great. But is that is that
what he was saying? If so, maybe there's some you
might need to call somebody about, get some damages and
(17:53):
to give off the.
Speaker 26 (17:54):
Hey guys, Paul from Claves here, I just listened to
your show, Great shows you will. I was listening to
you know about the Bengals defense. You know, We've talked about,
you know, their defensive line and our linebackers and the
safeties and the special teams and the offensive line. Nobody's
really touched on the corners.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
I don't feel comfortable with the corners that we have
right now.
Speaker 26 (18:18):
You know, I'm I don't know, Maybe Jermaine Pratt, could
you know, be a trade.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Piece for our corner. Listen, Jermaine Pratt is not a
trade piece. It's a fair question.
Speaker 17 (18:28):
Though.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
The secondary is a liability. I have that written down,
especially when you look at the stretch early on in
the season. Jacksonville has Brian Thomas Junior who exploded onto
the scene last year, and now Travis Hunter. Minnesota has
Jefferson and Addison Detroit a'm and Ross Saint Brown, Like
(18:50):
I just.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
Don't want to I'm not looking forward to them trying
to tackle Jamier Gibbs out of the backfield.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Yeah, that Detroit game, that'll be a test.
Speaker 27 (18:58):
So Hun can touch You're looking. I'm tired of Cees.
He's always on the injured reserve. Let's get him out
of town, trade him Ashcraft and Steer go. Get you
a power back, maybe get Petnzo.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
You people need to understand we're done. We're not doing.
Those dudes have about as much combined trade value as
I do.
Speaker 13 (19:24):
Tony Austin Mike from you, Hey, yeah, I agree with you, Tony.
Jail time automatic jail time parking for two space parking,
also automatic jail time for rich people who don't tip,
and often I agree with you. There is a special
place in hell for those folks.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Rich people who don't dip. I I had an experience
last night. All right, I gotta ask you about this.
I went through the drive through a local fast food establishment.
My total was nine dollars ninety nine cents. Okay, I'm
paying with a card. The guy says to me, I
(20:05):
had ordered it the thing and I come up to
the window. He's like, I forgot to ask, do you
want to round up to ten dollars?
Speaker 22 (20:12):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (20:13):
And I'm thinking to myself, if I had cash, yeah,
but I have a card, right, there's no effect on you.
I said no, I'm good, and he like looks at me,
gives me the dirtiest look as he's holding my credit card.
I'm like, not gonna give you a penny like right now.
(20:34):
If I if I would have said yes, he would
have then had to press a button, you know, add
the penny on, then reset that. They just tap the card.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
We've become a very interesting tipping country. There are self
checkout lines that I will go through ask for a tip,
and it'll say do you want to leave a tip?
And it gives like eighteen twenty twenty five percent? And
I'm thinking, like, am I gidding? Is this like a
money back thing on one of those cards where you
get money back? Because who am I tipping the machine?
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Crazy? He looked at me like that over a penny.
Speaker 28 (21:08):
Just thinking about the Reds, thinking about the Pete Rose,
you know, thing from last night. Like I personally, I'm
just kind of tired of living off the past and
kind of celebrating all the past flories. I know with
the French, with the Reds, it's a story history. The
longest franchise is in history. But when don't we start
(21:30):
looking to the future. Let's do that for once.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Yeah, I'm with you, and I'll tell you when after
the big Red Machine reunion coming up next month. I mean,
I'm curious to see what kind of gimmicks the Reds
come up with. I mean that's that they're elite at
that like their pr team, their marketing team. They're fantastic
and they do imagine how much good they could do
if they had a winning product to market. This is
(21:54):
one of the worst day in the sports here, everybody
going through the schedule.
Speaker 29 (22:00):
Saying I'll or whatever, ten and eight whatever.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
This is the dumbest crap ever. Also looked up clown
in the dictionary picture.
Speaker 29 (22:10):
Of Trey Henderson.
Speaker 7 (22:10):
Come up.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
I'd have more respect for.
Speaker 28 (22:12):
Him if he's fired his agent and said, hey, my agent,
give me a bad deal.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
More respects for him. But right now, let him hold out,
let him starve.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
Wow, Why don't think he's starving. He's eating good still.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
This is Trey Hendrick. Sorry, I'm not home right now.
Speaker 30 (22:37):
Leave a message, Hey, Trey, Zach Taylor here, cope all
as well. Just a reminder you you don't show up
in June, you're gonna get fined. Okay, just just a
little reminder there. We're gonna start finding you. Okay, take
(23:00):
care bye.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
M mm hmmmmm.
Speaker 21 (23:06):
Four of the first six games are on the road.
I don't see a fast start. We'll be fortunate to
be three and three.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Look up the pace a little bit. Barry Lark and golle. Wow,
what's up, Brian?
Speaker 31 (23:28):
I think the Reds will bounce back eventually, just in
a pretty pretty deep slump right now. They'll figure it
out and the bengalsill go fourteen and three. Baby, let's
go have a good day, all right?
Speaker 29 (23:41):
Probably uf Helpy Fitter. We're hope you rehab specialists. Watch
out for a slowdown on Fort Washington Way as there
is a funeral procession that is the Red season heading
that way. Also, watch out for a broken down bandwagon
blown out powers due to retreading as the Reds try
(24:04):
to reuse everything from the path to get people in
the seats.
Speaker 11 (24:12):
All right, guys, who has the better chance to win
one game this weekend on rivalry weekend? FC Cincinnati and
hell is real or the Reds in the Ohio Cup.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
FC Cincinnati clus comfortably.
Speaker 11 (24:26):
And then one quick thought on the Bengals schedule? Why
do they do this every single year? They leave the
last week or two TBD. People want to make plans.
It's one thing if you don't have the time set.
It's absurd to not have the day set. What do
you guys think?
Speaker 3 (24:42):
I don't think it matters because you know it's either
going to be a Saturday or Sunday.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
End of the year. They're just trying to cover themselves
with how teams play and what those games mean.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
I get that the broadcasting and the ratings to the
NFL is more important than anything else. But you know,
for the most part, going to be their Saturday Sunday.
I think the final week of the season. They can
now add on Monday, so that I get being a
little bit tough, especially during the week, but most people like,
if you're traveling into town for a game, you're either
(25:13):
gonna get there on Saturday regardless, So I get. I
get where you're coming from, though it's not always.
Speaker 32 (25:20):
Convenient where where the Rids are tonight? Why did you
leave me here all alone? I searched the world over
and a thought I found true loved the Rids lost
another and seasons gone.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
Golly, not the far things. All right, we're done, Oh
my goodness. We will update you on the reds and
update you on the injuries when.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
We get back. I think we're going to do a
touch and go and then we've got our three where
we're gonna dive into the schedule more with the Bengals
and take your phone calls five, one, three, seven, four, nine,
fifteen thirty at Cincy three to sixty on ESPN fifteen thirty,
Cincinnati Sports Station.
Speaker 33 (26:07):
He's in ESPN fifteen to thirty Centinnati Tax Resolution, Orange
and Black Schedule breakdown Cincinnati Tax Resolution powered by TOE
five to one, three, five to one three toph Now
your host Mo Eckett.
Speaker 34 (26:23):
The Bengals are scheduled for four primetime games in twenty
twenty five. The last one is scheduled in Week sixteen,
when the Bengals head to Miami to play the Dolphins.
Like the Bengals, the Dolphins finished eight to nine last season,
missing the playoffs. If both starting quarterbacks stay healthy, this
could be a meeting between the top two qbs taken
in the twenty twenty NFL Draft, Joe Burrow and Tua
(26:45):
Tanga bai Loa. This game could have major playoff implications,
and given how loaded both teams are a wide receiver,
it's a game that could provide some offensive fireworks. It'll
