Speaker 7 (02:29):
Hello, this is former President Ronald Regan. And well, watching
that Reds game last night reminded me of the old
Abbott and Costello routine, except when Andrew Abbott is pitching.
It's not a matter of who's on first, what's on second?
And I don't know who's on third. No, it's more
like no one's on first, rarely is anyone on second,

(02:52):
and almost never does anyone reach third. Well, done, Andrew,
well done.

Speaker 8 (02:58):
Well done, So guys, Big ghoun A, Kentucky. The ex

go to and two this weekend and that leads us
to be ten and eight to hit that seventeen to
ten Mark, I set out and then what about Aaron

(03:21):
Rodgers and Mike Tomlin? This guy had to nerve it
forty one years old to call him Mike and not
coach Tomlin? Are you kidding me? I studied today.

Speaker 4 (03:30):
I hope he's kidding. Did you ever call your parents
by their first names growing up?

Speaker 9 (03:36):
Now?

Speaker 4 (03:37):
No, boy, there's another check in beefishing ports, beautiful day.

Speaker 10 (03:43):
I've been watching our boys and joining these goat carts
and arcave and all four finding stuff from Mars.

Speaker 4 (03:48):
Stuart.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
You're making more noise in that locker room than you
did on the field at.

Speaker 4 (03:52):
An Oh wow, you know what I love about Kevin.
He's on vacation, but that doesn't stop him. I'll even
talk bet, check in and you ever go to a
couple of them go cart places down there pigeon Ford. Yes,
my family has been kicked off of a couple of them.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
He's at the Christmas Place today, man, that's that's a
spot as well.

Speaker 4 (04:11):
Rubbin's racing down there in pigeon Ford and get up underneath.
Somebody give me the old talladagg and nudge put him
in a wall.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
Kevin's playing all the hits man.

Speaker 4 (04:19):
Yeah, Kevin's having a good week right now.

Speaker 10 (04:22):
Austin Tone It's Boomer Drew from South Bend. So boom hey,
Tony Pike, Happy birthday to Walker.

Speaker 8 (04:28):
Thank you.

Speaker 10 (04:29):
Also wish a happy birthday to my son Thomas. One
year ago from yesterday. I was on a golf course
playing golf with my son for his birthday and I
got a hole in one. Wow a special time that was.
And I remember very well that after the show you.

Speaker 4 (04:44):
Left for the hospital. So kind of a cool day.
See you guys. Hey, Ritt's keep it going very cool.
You go. Boom, congrat boy.

Speaker 11 (04:53):
Other than TMZ and People Pople Magazine, does anybody really
give any thought to who Aaron Rodgers is married to
or care about it?

Speaker 4 (05:01):
I don't care at all. I think I think it's
fine to ask him, hey, is that a wedding rings?
Just the part of yeah, you know, an off season
new player, Hey, you weren't married?

Speaker 3 (05:11):
Are you married?

Speaker 12 (05:11):
Now?

Speaker 4 (05:12):
I do think that's part of like who Rogers is, though,
Like he talks about so many things that are non
football that you kind of opened the door to be
able to talk about that stuff with him. So I
think the question of is that a wedding ring is
probably about as far as you can take it. Yeah,
but now, I mean, I don't care who he's married through.
What up, Tony?

Speaker 12 (05:31):
What up?

Speaker 4 (05:32):
Already?

Speaker 13 (05:32):
This is Twine from the Heights Kennedy Heights, real quick.
Shamar Stewart is absolutely right. The Bengals need to stop
talking and just go ahead and pay this guy. So
get him the field asap. Col The Bengals definitely need
him on defense. And last night the Reds, Oh my god,
watch the game from the beginning to the end. Andrew
Abbott looked amazing. The Reds is doing everything right now,

(05:57):
and I'm pretty sure they're going to sweep the Guardians
this afternoon.

Speaker 4 (06:00):
Let's go.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
Well, they're gonna have to do so and come from
behind fashion they're down one.

Speaker 4 (06:03):
Oh right now, I believe that's the first talk back
from Twan from the Heights. Yeah, and look on shout
out Twan.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
We're gonna talk a lot an hour three about Shamar Stewart,
so we won't respond to each of the talk bout.
We'll get to that in the third hour. I will
say I was shocked last night. I mentioned yesterday, you know,
with Walker's first birthday. Mayor decided it's a great time
for family photos. Our sister in law does family photos,
so she did. She takes pictures, so she's great at it.

(06:29):
So we met at a park and we took the
pictures and we got in the car like eight fifteen,
and the Reds game was in the eighth inning.

Speaker 4 (06:35):
It was like, holy cow, Yeah they played fast eighth inning.

Speaker 9 (06:38):
Just go.

Speaker 4 (06:38):
I think it was just over two hours. Yeah, rep
in my city out here in sunny hot AND's on it.

Speaker 12 (06:43):
What up? What up?

Speaker 4 (06:44):
Body at a boy at it? That's what I'm talking about.
A CG. Last night.

Speaker 12 (06:49):
Finally we on the other end of a one nothing win.
Give it up to the defense. It did what it
did last night, so many gems. I got lost Stuart Man,
real talk. If I was your agent, I'd have told
you to.

Speaker 4 (07:00):
Be quiet, dude.

Speaker 12 (07:01):
I wouldn't have said too much. I would just not
slot them questions and just let it be what it be.
I think you might have screwed yourself up, buddy, for
a second contract.

Speaker 3 (07:09):
Real talk with this ownership. Let it be what it be.
There was a point yesterday where he said, uh, not
gonna say what I really want to say. He proceeded
to say it. Now we get to talk about it
for the third hour.

Speaker 4 (07:21):
Today, Tony and AUTI kN corleone here. Boy, what a
difference a week mates?

Speaker 7 (07:27):
Huh?

Speaker 4 (07:28):
Am I the only person who win. They were interviewing
guys after the game in the locker room, heard people
playing ping pong.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
Do the Reds travel with a ping pong table?

Speaker 4 (07:41):
They were on the road. Weird, huh.

Speaker 9 (07:44):
Anyway, go Reds Hoode and go big Blue.

Speaker 4 (07:48):
You know they've completely redone all the clubhouses and everything
down there in Cleveland. That stadium got a big face
lift over the off season. I read C Trent wrote
about This Weekend this week about how Terry Francona used
to play cribbage all the time and when he got there.
He asked for a cribbage board, and they couldn't find one.

(08:13):
They apparently had thrown away Francona's old cribbage board. They
were looking in closets and storage rooms, equipment staff, everybody
trying to find a cribbage board from Tito a couple
of years ago. Couldn't find it, so they had to
go out and buy one. So I would imagine, I
mean this, clubhouses these days are pretty nice, So cribbage

(08:33):
Tony Austin, what's up?

Speaker 8 (08:35):
Hi?

Speaker 3 (08:37):
I was giffy about Francona.

Speaker 14 (08:39):
But if that guy's rocking out to Pink Floyd in
the clubhouse, he's a winner in my book.

Speaker 4 (08:44):
Any day. Let's go another brick in the wall.

Speaker 15 (08:47):
Yeah, it's so sad that we couldn't get Pete alonzo
I last night. And remember that I was yelling about
it all winter long. It would have been perfect in
our ballpark.

Speaker 4 (09:06):
Well, so, not to make up of this team. Not
to make up of this team. Met's are the best
record in baseball though, you super thing.

Speaker 16 (09:16):
It makes me crack up at the irony. I mean,
the guy he's he sits there and says that the
Bengals all they want to do is win arguments and
not do anything to actively try to win games. All
the while he is sitting here telling us he's one
hundred percent right. So he's trying to win an argument
and he's not doing anything to actively help us win games.

Speaker 4 (09:39):
In the exactly is not going to help. Yeah, he's right.
I mean it is two sides to the coin, isn't
there some some people use a one side or a
double sided coin, right.

Speaker 17 (09:53):
Right? Yeah, shout out to the reds ab It was phenomenal.
The album Phil Defense was great, sensational, just a really
good win for him. The Bengals they just oh, this
Stewart Hendrickson thing. Oh, it's just you talk about a distraction.

(10:16):
I wish we could hit the floor running one year.

Speaker 4 (10:20):
Maybe this year is the year man hit the floor.

Speaker 9 (10:23):
Running, Tony bee Stick, it's the mail man in the
neighborhood on this gorgeous stage. Why is it that we
have Bengals fans just can't have a nice, calm offseason
where everybody's signed, everybody's focused, everybody is directed forward the

(10:45):
super Bowl and no problems and have another best day ever.

Speaker 4 (10:53):
I wish I could tell you, Yeah, Carl Maliant alone
shooting two poleace.

Speaker 18 (11:00):
Hank kill here and well, boy, I'm gonna tell you
what what get crowd in the style of clapping bot up.

Speaker 19 (11:12):
If you wanna get crowed up, you gotta play a
little smile. Get the swep, Get the swep, Get the swep,
Get crowd.

Speaker 4 (11:29):
What a what a submission from Hank Hill.

Speaker 20 (11:34):
It's god, Hey, God, I have a start bench cut Okay,
story you have to talk about for three.

Speaker 5 (11:40):
Hours, Trey Hendrickson, Shamar Stewart or the rags.

Speaker 3 (11:48):
Right now, I'll start positivity in the Reds. I will
bench Chamar and I'll cut Tray.

Speaker 4 (11:54):
I would start Schamar, I would bench Tray and I
would cut the Reds because I feel like I've said
everything I can possibly say about Tray and the Reds
to this point. Chamar, there's still a lot of meat
on that bone.

Speaker 7 (12:08):
Got dang it.

Speaker 18 (12:09):
Not a good look, first, Chamar, Man, get on the field.
Get some snaps in before you start running your mouth.
Not that what he has to say does not hold
some weight, but boy, god dang it, you're fresh in
the building, man, get some snaps under you.

Speaker 3 (12:25):
I was so nervous as a rookie to just not
make a mistake, and this guy is basically just calling
out the organization as a whole.

Speaker 4 (12:34):
It's weird, it's crazy, Tony Audie, what up boys, Maddens?
What up MAVs? How about our boy Hovi Air freely
holy guacam only have a game, my guy, Lovey Air, Yes,
shut up MAVs in seven. By the way, do you
see what they did to Jason Kidd? Yeah, they said, nah,

(12:57):
you ain't going nowhere.

Speaker 5 (12:58):
No, but nah time piking angry.

Speaker 9 (13:02):
I think your boy Aux and Silverton today.

Speaker 4 (13:04):
I think I'm just gonna go with the Mount Rushmore
of something. Yeah.

Speaker 9 (13:07):
So one one, we're gonna go with.

Speaker 4 (13:09):
PTO Paytime Off.

Speaker 9 (13:11):
Oh.

Speaker 16 (13:11):
Then we're gonna go.

Speaker 11 (13:12):
With Day Drinking.

Speaker 4 (13:13):
Oh, and then we're gonna go with the Reds are back,
just the saying the Reds are back.

Speaker 16 (13:18):
And then we're gonna go with Bonn and easy inability
to win the three on three Memorial Day tournament.

Speaker 3 (13:24):
Yeah, that is take a list of something fantastic, Mount Rushmore, Pto.

Speaker 4 (13:30):
Pt O and Day Drink and those two are often combined.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
The people who go to the ends of the earth
to defend everything that Ellie Dela Cruz does, very very
strange to me. The guy's great, but you don't have
to gloss over the dumb errors that he makes just
because he's a great player. I think you're one hundred
percent spot on Autie.

Speaker 4 (13:51):
Yeah, I mean, for those that don't know, I'm kind
of getting killed on Twitter because every time Ellie makes
a dumb play, I bring back a tweet that says
it's in excuse by Ellie. And you can look at
two different metrics. This season, he's one of the worst
fielders in baseball. Defensive run saves defensive runs saved, he's
minus two. That is the thirteenth worst in Major League Baseball.

(14:15):
His outs above average AKA range as him in the
eighth percentile. That's one of the worst in Major League Baseball.
He's having a poor defensive season. It's okay to say
that I expect more from him. I think we all should.
I don't think that's unfair. And I'm also not going

(14:36):
to make a tweet every single time he hits a
double or hits a homer, because that's the expectation. You
expect him to hit for power, just like I expect
him to be able to make a throw to first base. Now,
one of those things is obviously far easier than the other.
But to me, Ellie, in his game and who we've
seen that he can be, he's a lot better than

(14:58):
those throwing errors we all know. And I'm not just
gonna sit there and say, oh man, oh shucks, Elly,
go get him next time. No, every game matters, every
moment matters. That game that almost cost them last night
twice now where he's had throwing airs, where he's gotten
bailed out. Mm hmm. Now he did a great job

(15:20):
turning the double play, and he deserves credit for that.
But you know TJ. Friedel robbed a homer to save
his butt the other night, that that stuff can't happen
on winning teams.

Speaker 14 (15:31):
Hey, guys, how you doing?

Speaker 4 (15:32):
Hey?

Speaker 14 (15:33):
What good intense clothes of that game last night was
Andrew Adam What a what a bulldog man?

Speaker 4 (15:39):
Huh?

Speaker 14 (15:40):
My favorite guys on the team. But I mean, they
gotta they gotta get them bad hot again today not
looking so hot.

Speaker 4 (15:48):
Let's go Reds. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (15:50):
One of the things I uh that drives me nuts
about the Reds is when it feels like an opposing
pitcher doesn't have his stuff early and they don't make
him pay and then that picture eventually finds his groove.

Speaker 4 (16:04):
That's what worries me. Yeah, it happened a little bit
with Abbot in the ninth inning last night. You could
tell walking guys throwing balls. It's like, oh yep. And
then I think it was like midway through the Jose
Ramirez at bat where it was like, okay, I think
he found his rhythm again.

Speaker 7 (16:18):
Right.

Speaker 11 (16:20):
Yeah, this Samar Stewart thing, it's all on the Bengals.
They should have done an interview. I think I heard
that they didn't ever visit with him, or if they
really did, they didn't do their job. Well, this guy
is being misled. Should Stewart is by I don't know
if it's his father as coach or whoever, but they
should have did a homework on this guy. He's going

(16:41):
to be a mile content for his whole career.

Speaker 4 (16:44):
Yeah. I believe it was just a combine meeting that
they had, yeah, in which he said he didn't even
remember it, So that's good. Yeah. I was telling you
guys before the before the show today, I was talking
with you and Mo. I produced Mo's show the day
after the draft, and we talked to Shamar Stewart, the
guy that was on the air with Moegger. Is not
the guy that's talked to the media yesterday. Entirely different dude,

(17:07):
And know I can understand his frustration. I would want
my money too. But this is the first time I've
actually been concerned about this. Yeah, it was starting with yesterday.
And by concerned, I mean about all of it, about
him as a player, about him as a person, about
the future of this organization. Tony, awesome coach.

Speaker 20 (17:34):
I'm sure you may have heard the rumors that I
may be getting married, but I'm going to say that
that's absolutely untrue. I'm going to keep all of my
coaching options oping h and also the unc cheerleading options

(17:55):
open as well.

Speaker 4 (17:58):
Thank you. Good. Alright, maybe he's getting married to Aaron Rodgers.
Oh who says no?

Speaker 6 (18:05):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (18:06):
Maybe already dead?

Speaker 4 (18:07):
Oh hey no, all right, Uh that's our last one.
All right. So here's how we're gonna do this. First one,
I'm gonna let you pick, ton would you rather give
away a two pack of tickets for the Big Three
Basketball tournament or a two pack of tickets for the

(18:28):
FIFA Club World Cup Wednesday, June eighteenth at TQL Stadium.
We're going two pack for the Big Three. First, for
the Big Three first. All right, so this is Big
Three Basketball. It's coming back to Cincinnati. It's gonna be Saturday,
July twenty sixth. Yes, So here's how we're going to

(18:48):
do this. One, the sixth caller from this point forward
five one, three, seven, four, nine, fifteen thirty, the sixth
caller for right now will win the tickets. Wow, sixth
caller from right now. In the meantime, while I handle that,
Tony is going to come up with a trivia question

(19:11):
for our FIFA Club World Cup tickets for the rest
of the callers for the well, yeah, you know what, Yeah,
let's do that. Let's do that. Sixth caller gets Big
Three Basketball tickets. Other callers will have an opportunity or
do we let the six caller pick which tickets they
would like? I like that. Okay, if you like that,

(19:32):
I caller, you get your pick. Yes.

Speaker 3 (19:34):
If not, hang on hold and you'll answer for a
chance at the other tickets.

Speaker 4 (19:38):
That's true.

Speaker 1 (19:38):
I like this.

Speaker 4 (19:39):
Good job, good idea.

Speaker 3 (19:41):
Next on the SBN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports station, it's
Cincy three sixty
