The three sixty carries on on ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati

(00:04):
Sports station.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
All right, come on, Harry, let me hear you good loud,
Oh world, oh too, oh.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
Three, Let's listen to some talk backs. Let listen to
the clouds. Get me a buddant Supracker Jacks. We hope
those other two diver come back over the root fo totally.

(00:39):
All dophing comes close to the show.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
We got hack riding.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
Hello the stars over talk back show.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
Right as well? Come on now, Rights, well, you gotta
throw a little Harry the talkback intro with the Red
Legs in Chicago today taking on the cubbies and let's
get the talkbacks. Talkbacks are working today. You can leave
a talkback iHeartRadio app tep that little microphone next to
the play button and leave me a message.

Speaker 4 (01:15):
Happy Friday Audio. Your back feels better today, Thank you
Andred or is it just the weight of the iHeart
studio is being carried on your shoulders catching up to you?

Speaker 5 (01:26):
And you are right.

Speaker 4 (01:27):
I do occasionally worked the graveyard shift, but that's just
part of the road construction life. That said, I hope
everybody has a fantastic weekend.

Speaker 5 (01:36):
Take care of yourself and each other who they go.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
Rants well, said keV the road construction life. Man, Gosh,
that sounds difficult. I don't know if I'm tough enough
for that, but yeah, I heard it. I do think
there's probably, you know, some sort of correlation between carrying
the iHeart Cincinnati Market. I would imagine something to do
with that. I'm kidding. It's feeling better, it's feeling a

(02:01):
lot better. It's just it's still painful. We're getting there though,
testing testing, yes.

Speaker 6 (02:08):
Yes, is this thing working?

Speaker 5 (02:10):
Yes?

Speaker 6 (02:10):
Testing? Attention Americans, The bombing of Russia will begin in
five minutes. Is this thing on?

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Oh boy, Now, don't get me in trouble.

Speaker 6 (02:21):
Now hello, Oh, this is former President Ronald Rigging and Wale.
My little bombing will begin in five minutes. Live mic
gaff years ago got me to wondering, Tony Audie, is
there a moment that you can recall where you uttered
something unwillingly and unknowingly into a live mic.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Oh boy, I don't know if I've ever There's been
times where, like during a commercial break, I'll leave my
mic on and I'll be by myself in here. I
won't say anything, and then I'll realize, you know, twenty
minutes or two minutes later, that the mic is still on.

(03:01):
I've definitely accidentally coughed into the mic before when I
thought it was off. I've done that many times. You've
probably heard that. There is one little thing Tony Tony
I don't know. Sometimes he just doesn't turn his mic off.
Most of the time I turned Tony's mic on and off,

(03:24):
but there are times when he will do it, and
sometimes he just won't turn it off either. Here's another
little inside baseball thing. So we have a cough button
and we have a talkback button. So because I'm in
a producer studio, I don't have a cough button, So

(03:45):
I just have to turn my mic off. Sometimes you'll
hear me and I'll do something and I'll go and
then come back like that. It's because I'm turning my
mic on and off. The cough button in Tony's studio
is right next to the talkback button, which means it's
just how he and I communicate, not over the year,
and sometimes he will accidentally press the talkback button and

(04:06):
cough loudly into my ear. None of these are answering
the question that you asked. I don't think I've ever
said anything or done anything bad into a live mike
that I know of.

Speaker 7 (04:18):
Tony Austin's Jack Iveran College Hill, Hey, on this Friday.
I just wanted to bring awareness to something I think
is a really great cause, a great petition to get
out there.

Speaker 5 (04:27):
Hopefully we can get something done with it.

Speaker 7 (04:28):
And that's the petition to strip John Jones of the
heavyweight title in the UFC. So if you're looking to
do something good today, go ahead, get that signed. He's
a coward.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
Wow? Okay, is there a UFC drama that I don't
know about? Why do people hate John Jones? Is that
John Bones Jones?

Speaker 7 (04:46):
Hey, Jack Ivern College Hill A quick double dip, Yeah
about John Jones.

Speaker 5 (04:50):
Yes he is a coward. Yes he would still hold
me like a law chair.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Oh yeah, I mean without a doubt. I mean it's
John Jones.

Speaker 8 (04:57):
Okay, all time cool names, red starting lineup catcher. We
have Quirky Miller first base.

Speaker 5 (05:04):
I'm going yonder on the second base. Oh gosh.

Speaker 8 (05:11):
Right field, our city's a Kino center field, shin suit
Chu left field, William o'pana third base, a Jajano Suarez shortstop,
David concepcion on the mound. It's the seventh inning.

Speaker 5 (05:25):
We're going jumbo.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
DS Jumbo Diaz. I like that. I was gonna say
Alfredo Simon big Pasta as a potential pitcher. Yeah, that's
a pretty good lineup right there.

Speaker 5 (05:35):
I like that it's got on a Friday test test.

Speaker 9 (05:41):
This is a test for the Emergency Talk Back System
test test.

Speaker 5 (05:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (05:48):
Yeah, all the Savannah bananas up. I would say it's
kind of like Monster truck rallies all that kind of stuff,
that it's really geared for families. Okay, I mean as
a grown man, I don't really have any interest, but
my kids are obsessed and we watched it as a

(06:10):
family and they had a blast.

Speaker 5 (06:11):
So I guess anything.

Speaker 9 (06:13):
That they want to do and they want to do
it together.

Speaker 5 (06:16):
I'm all for sure.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
I hear you there. I did hear someone say that
it's kind of like for people who like baseball but
aren't like into the the weeds of baseball, Like maybe
an everyday Reds fan or a season ticket holder might
be so like, they like baseball, but it's just more fun,
more entertaining than normal Major League baseball, Which that makes

(06:39):
sense to me.

Speaker 10 (06:41):
The man of bananas.

Speaker 5 (06:44):
I went and saw them as their home ball part.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
I laughed and smiled the entire time.

Speaker 4 (06:51):
It is a great time.

Speaker 10 (06:53):
Me and my wife went down. She doesn't even care
about baseball.

Speaker 5 (06:56):
She said it was the best trip she ever been on.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
Well, there you go, right there, that's a perfect example.

Speaker 8 (07:02):
This goes back to yesterday.

Speaker 11 (07:04):
But can you imagine Ken from the legs at Red Rocks?

Speaker 4 (07:08):
He'd be like, they must have a bad skunk infestation here.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
I don't think that's a very good kin impression. Is it?
Is the weed really bad at Red Rocks? I mean,
I know it's I know it's uh Colorado, But.

Speaker 12 (07:30):
I wouldn't know a Dwight yok song if you smack
me in the head with it. But if you want
to see him in a fine acting performance, go watch
sling Blade. He plays a great villain. He ends up
getting get his head smashed.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
Wow. Okay, sorry spoiler alert. Yeah, if Dwight Yoakum walked
in the room right now, I wouldn't know who he was.

Speaker 11 (07:52):
Yeah, this is a Duke Tobin, Hey, duke wondering if
you have the number for that guy Parata? He says,
pretty smart, I could use He's an assistant. In fact,
the whole organization could probably use somebody with his brain capacity.

Speaker 5 (08:05):
If you have his number, please send it over to
PAI Corps.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
All right, interesting, you know the Bengals have been hiring
some people football ops and get a couple of positions.

Speaker 13 (08:18):
Houston, Hank Kill here, Hello, Henry Hobbo. I'm gonna tell
what I know that you don't shout out your own
podcast on the show very often for obvious reasons that
I understand, but I'll do a fari fallas listeners, talk
boxers and fans go check out Austin's Ball Don't Lie podcast.

(08:40):
Good stuff, support our friend Houston. Just don't get so
big that you'll leave us.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
Well, Hank, thank you very much. I do appreciate that
there's not really a rule that says I can't do it,
but I I don't want to, you know, I don't
want to piss people off. But yes, I do have
a podcast. It's basically all Bengals podcast. It's called Ball
Don't Lie. You can find it anywhere you get your podcast.
You can even find it on the iHeartRadio app. And
I invite you to go listen and subscribe and follow

(09:10):
and tell every person you've ever met about it.

Speaker 5 (09:13):
Hey, guys, it's Jason down on deal Hollow Lake. Come on, Jason,
I'm not on deal Hollow Lake. I'm in beautiful Virginia anyway.

Speaker 14 (09:22):
I was just wondering the other day when I dropped
my challenge on everybody to do better on talkbacks? Did
I somehow break the talkback machine?

Speaker 5 (09:29):
I think I did?

Speaker 14 (09:31):
And what are the Reds doing trading away Alexis Diaz
for peanuts?

Speaker 5 (09:36):
Nothing? They still oten a million dollars after this. Good
job Rids, Good job Crawl.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
Yeah, I think Charlie did a good job of explaining
why it went down the way it did. I think
it's a good move for the Reds. Tody Totty, Woody Flaggy.

Speaker 4 (09:54):
Bug down in Rocky cop Come on, the Bruis are
going down good all right?

Speaker 2 (10:01):
Man? Sounds good there, uh Woody by the way, top
of the second in Knoxville, Cincinnati leads wake Forest to
nothing in the Knoxville Regional, Bearcats turned a nice double
play to get out of trouble in the bottom half
of the.

Speaker 13 (10:13):
First hashtag paid Partnery Austin, I'm gonna ask you since
I hope you get some sponsors for the podcasts. But
all these hashtag paid partnerships, you know, it seems a
little less genuine. You know, if you're going to eat
a cheese coney or go out and take pictures with
tractors and stuff, just just take pictures. The hashtag paid

(10:37):
partnership seems a little less genuine. Is there any rules
y'all gotta put hashtag paid partners.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
Yes, it is a law that if you are paid
to promote or tweet or post about something, you have
to include a hashtag that either says ad or paid partnership.
That is just the law.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
What's going on on, Craig and the Creek, Come on, Craiger.
Fantastic guests, man, pretty eye opening. I've been pretty anti
Bengals front office, but if this is language that most
teams use, I think it's a great precedent to set.
Schamar has Jermaine Burton to thank. It's a good point
on the other side of the coin Red's front office.
Now that we traded Diaz, we officially have a lower

(11:22):
payroll than the twenty twenty one team that lost one
hundred games. You can't be cheap and win.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
That's kind of amazing, isn't it. That is kind of amazing. Yeah,
I was thinking about Jermaine Burton when Andre was talking
earlier too, because that's a really good example of someone,
you know, getting into trouble off the field and maybe
a defaults and he doesn't get his guaranteed money or whatever.
And Audre also made a good point at the end
or this is all in the players control, Like if

(11:53):
you stick around, if you perform well, if you don't
get in trouble, if you don't fail a drug test,
if you don't whatever it might be, you're you're be fine.
I certainly get both sides of it. I also, I
know I'm kind of a guy that defends the Bengals
a little bit more than most people around here. I
think in both of these situations, the Bengals are just

(12:17):
doing good business in the sense of they have the
leverage they have the players by the you know what,
and they're taking full advantage of that. You know, Shamar
Stewart has zero leverage whatsoever. His only leverage is not
signing the injury waiver, and that you know, doesn't matter

(12:38):
all that much at the end of the day. Trey
got himself into this, Like the reason we are having
this issue right now is because Trey Hendrickson negotiated and
agreed to previous contracts that put him in this spot.
They were good deals. The Bengals got out ahead of it.

(12:59):
They did what everybody is always asking them to do.
They paid less for a good player early and now
the player once more later. Doesn't always work that way.

Speaker 10 (13:11):
Still repping it out of out here in sunny hot Zona.
What a body. I wish I could give from the
sunny weather out there to my city. But it is
what it is. FC Cincinnati fans, I ain't man, I'm
proud of you. Guys were doing a costa. He talked
that talk about our CIA like that. We show you
how we feel about you. We ain't no soft fan base.
It is what it is. Bruh, we bring that smoke.
Stewart Man signed that contract. Quit playing, tell your agent,

(13:33):
quit being dumb. Look at Trey, Trey looking dumbe with
no leverage, real talk and if for the Reds win
the series. I got a lot riding on it, you
better win.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
All right? There we go. Good to hear you, Ronnie,
ron Hey Austin.

Speaker 5 (13:45):
Is Jason doing a double dip calling in about Maine.
I heard you like Maine.

Speaker 15 (13:50):
Man.

Speaker 14 (13:50):
I just got back from Maine last week. My daughter
graduated from the University of Maine.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
Awesome.

Speaker 5 (13:56):
She's going to be working in a kadie of this summer. Man.

Speaker 14 (13:59):
There's a vacation out up there called Camden, Maine, and
it's right on the coast, and there's a park next
to it called Camden Hills and it's the best place
in Maine. And if you're ever in Maine and you
have never been to Camden, check that out because it
is my favorite count in Maine.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
Okay, all right, good to know. Thank you. I'll write
that down. I always tell people and people close to
me know, the best night of my life happened in
a dive bar in Old Orchard Beach, Maine. Man, it
was awesome. Turd Ferguson here, come on, Turt, agent for
near Production.

Speaker 5 (14:32):
We're a little taken it back by.

Speaker 12 (14:34):
Everyone's concerned over the current contract status.

Speaker 5 (14:38):
Nearly.

Speaker 15 (14:38):
Don't think any would notice, since near production is only
actually near production and not actually productive.

Speaker 12 (14:45):
Didn't think anybody would actually notice whether he was on
the sidelines or on the field.

Speaker 7 (14:49):
But fear not, this will be getting resolved as soon
as possible.

Speaker 15 (14:54):
Or not.

Speaker 5 (14:56):
It's turd Ferguson reporting.

Speaker 2 (14:57):
Thank you Ted. Speaking of Turd Ferguson, I kind of
randomly remembered last night that I have free will. I
went to the movies. I went and saw a movie.
Paul Rudd and Tim Robinson were the stars. It's called Friendship.
It was okay, you know it was. It was really funny,
but it was kind of dumb and chaotic, but it

(15:19):
was really funny.

Speaker 5 (15:21):
Hey, Austin, it's Greg.

Speaker 2 (15:23):
Come on, Greg.

Speaker 5 (15:23):
You know I've told you this before.

Speaker 16 (15:26):
I enjoyed listening to you, whether it's on this show
or some of the other shows that you cover. And
what I like most about you is your analogies of
whether it's the Bengals the Reds.

Speaker 5 (15:37):
But you know, the one thing that stuck out.

Speaker 16 (15:39):
Before when I was listening is when you said, you know,
twenty thirty could be a real tough time to be
a sports fan here in Cincinnati.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
I'll tell you what you were right on with that. Anyway,
Good job, Greg, Thank you. I appreciate that. It's a
scary thought, isn't it.

Speaker 17 (15:56):
Hey, Austin, Jeff and you, Richmond. Happy Fridays. Great stuff
from Charlie has always love here in his perspective and
appreciate his work. Hey, I wanted to see if you'd
asked Tommy a couple of things for me. I wanted
to know what his thoughts are on the recent struggles
at home and with the club, and then also if

(16:17):
the atmosphere of the last couple of days has been different,
especially since Pat said that the message was not getting okay.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
I will I will do my best to work those
in with Tommy.

Speaker 18 (16:30):
Hey, Austin, how you're doing today?

Speaker 2 (16:31):
What's up?

Speaker 16 (16:31):

Speaker 5 (17:17):
This looks like an injury, So everybody take.

Speaker 19 (17:20):
Care of me because I need a little recovery because
the lineup's empty without me.

Speaker 2 (17:28):
That is unbelievable, man, My guy, Michael, he just keeps
putting bangers out with DJ Glance McAllister.

Speaker 5 (17:37):
Hey audience, Terry, what up?

Speaker 2 (17:39):
Terry? U?

Speaker 15 (17:40):
You were talking about the Brutus Buckeye and the high
Bobcat mascot.

Speaker 2 (17:44):
Yeah, yesterday.

Speaker 15 (17:46):
I don't remember how many years ago it was, but
you can go on YouTube and look up Rufus versus
Brutus Rufus. It's pretty hysterical. I guess that's the only
thing he's ever beat a highest state at. But uh,
the boy that was the mask call it for OHU.

Speaker 5 (18:01):
He used to be my.

Speaker 15 (18:02):
Neighbor and I believe he got home. But yes, uh,
you know, good memory.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
Yeah, I think you're right. I seem to remember that
that the kid got expelled from OU for doing that.
Uh yeah, rufus. Okay, I'm glad I didn't make that up.

Speaker 12 (18:16):
Thank you whoever was talking about MA.

Speaker 5 (18:19):

twenty seven.
