(02:07):
your resident highway to Heaven. Comeon Lord. Hey, Austin, I
got a question for you. What'sup with those little rubber yellow ducks on
the dashboard of They're usually on jeeps. Do you know what that means or
represents or what that stands for.I've been driving around just wondering. I've

(02:28):
seen a lot of jeeps with duckson their dashboard. Yeah. I know.
It's a thing with jeep owners.I don't know really the origin,
but I know it's a thing wherethey like give each other ducks. That's
really all I know about it.I don't really know what it means or
where it comes from or how itoriginated, but I know it's a jeep
thing. Hey, Audie, Kevinan ARTIKITECTI here. You're right. That

(02:53):
game of Rickwood was pretty col lastnight. I hope they do that more
often Saturday, Red Sox Man,my family be there to take that game
in my crew. You may callit. No, I will not be
throwing darkness. I'm like t Fdoes to his crew. We might be
throwing bottled water to each other thatyeah, everybody, go yeah, be
careful, Kevin, that that heatis crazy. Uh and I know that

(03:16):
they extended that heat advisory for awhile, So be safe out there at
the the old ball Orchard, Austin. For me, it's Greg, it's
Jamar Chase, his speed, hispower, his catches, and he's out
there all the time. Have agood weekend, Austin. All Right,
wonderful, Greg, thank you verymuch. Appreciate that that'll work. I

(03:39):
feel like the narrative over Joey Vadoand Joe Burrow being overpaid is mainly driven
by the local media. Maybe oneor two percent of the fan base actually
thinks that, and those are themost vocal people you hear from. But
overall, I think that storyline inthat narrative is driven hard by the local

(04:01):
media. Yeah, I don't.I think that sometimes I can be guilty
of allowing Twitter to speak for everyone, certainly when it comes to that story.
So I think that there's probably somethingthere because it feels like a lot

(04:24):
of times the vocal majority of peopleon social media will will get upset and
criticize a player, especially when hemakes a lot of money. So I'll
give you that that I think thatsometimes I know me personally I can be
guilty of that, but it isa feeling that people have, maybe not
the vast majority, but it isa feeling that people have that I don't

(04:47):
understand why they turn on athletes whenthey make a lot of money. That
I will never understand. I agreewith you about the offense Koseki Moss Burton.
I mean it seems like it wouldbe a nightmare for the defensive coordinator

(05:09):
for the other team. Best athlete. I tell you all you mentioned very
solid. I just don't think youshould, you know, criticize him like
Breer makes too much money? Okay, fair enough, boy, I like
talkback matters. Got thought on PeteAlonzo. But he won twenty million in

(05:29):
arbitration last year. But he's gotsix years of service time and he's a
total unrestricted free agent right now.If you're looking at a rental, that's
okay, But he's going to bemaking big, big bucks next year for
a long time. I would think, yeah. And that's the thing that
he said. He said he doesn'tthink the Reds needed to your guy.
He thinks that they basically need arental. So yeah, he's definitely not

(05:54):
somebody that'll be here long term.As far as Luco Acosta versus Joe Burrow,
for athletes to say, it's gottabe Luco, He's won an MVP,
he's considered to be, you know, the best player in the sport
by some you know him and Messyor whatever. But nobody considers Burrow to
be the best player in the sport. Burr's never even been top three in

(06:15):
MVP voting. Very good player,probably top five quarterback. But a lot
of people say Burrow just because footballis more popular than soccer. Okay,
fair enough. I would say thatthe opposite, the argument, a little
bit more towards football would be andCharlie said it, well, the most
important position in all of sports isquarterback, so I think there's probably some

(06:38):
of that there. But I seewhat you mean. Luco is certainly top
two at his position, and untilMessi got here last year, was number
one in his position. Hey,awesome, Marco from the Grove. Come
on, Mark, I know inthe past you'd expressed your opinion about them
extending the college football playoff. Nowthat it's been simmering for about six months

(07:01):
now. Has your opinion changed onit or are you still against it?
Uh? I'm still against it.I've never been a fan of expanding the
college football playoff. I saw thatdumb story yesterday. If they want to
try to expand the NCAA tournament too, which drives me nuts. Yeah,
I'm still I'm still against it.My reasons for the past basically are the

(07:23):
same. I do think it'll becool, and all the games we get
in such a short amount of timewill be great for us to watch,
and home games will be awesome.Maybe once I see it, my opinion
will change. But I like thefact that in order to get there you
have to be essentially perfect. Youhave to play good teams, You have

(07:45):
to play good teams well. Everygame is an important game. I liked
that. I liked the pressure ofthat with college football Awestin this beautiful Friday,
big winked for the reds. Takeit on the red Socks. I'll
be heading down Sunday. So toanswer the question, who is the best

(08:09):
athlete in Cincinnati or the most famous, or however you want to put it,
Kelly is up there, but it'sgotta be Jack Joey Baby, let's
jo. You know the thing Ilove about Strawberry Ice is he is always
on one hundred. He's never justchilling, He's always one respect quick note

(08:37):
for God on the double dip.There's also some special hand signal you're supposed
to give chief drivers when you passby them if you're in the chief as
well. Okay, there you go, Thank you, Jeff. It's Joyce
in the valley. Not sure ifyou guys have talked just about this yet,
but Weston McKinney coming to our FCCincinnati would be a game changer.
That's a top five, top threeplayer in the league, right, be

(09:00):
awesome. I don't have if youbeing talking about it, but yeah,
I'm going to talk to Tom Glerderabout that. And I'm kind of conflicted
about something with Weston McKinnie potentially comingto f C Cincinnati that I'm going to
talk about because of the whole UnitedStates men's national team versus f C Cincinnati
thing that I think is interesting.Uh, but yeah, uh, that

(09:22):
would be if you want a signalof a team that's all in trying to
win. If f C Cincinnati wereto acquire Weston McKinney. That would be
insane. Uh, his baseball wherewe're at, Come on football? Almost
there, pal, we like thirtytwo days away or something from Bengals training
camp. We're almost there with hiscrew instead of to his crew. If

(09:48):
you throw him to his crew,I think that would hurt, wouldn't you.
I think it depends on your definitionof darts, if you know what
I mean. Uh, that's gonnado it for talkbacks. We'll take a
break, we'll come back. Thissegment never disappoints. Yeah, it's I
want to. I want to havethe conversation a little bit about what Lance

(10:09):
was referring to. And I thinkwe got a talkbacker talking about it as
well, about the idea of thiscity kind of struggling with superstars and primarily
when they get paid a lot ofmoney. I don't know where that comes
from. I don't think Joe Burrowis overpaid. I said this when when

(10:31):
they signed him, eventually that's goingto look like a deal. And you
saw the Chiefs go through this acouple of times with Patrick Mahomes. I
just don't quite understand where the disconnectcomes for people once a player gets paid
a lot of money. It happenedwith Joey Vado. It's I said it
last year at this time, itwas going to happen with Joe Burrow.

(10:54):
Burrow getting hurt didn't help his causebecause he just became low hanging fruit for
people to attack. But I kindof want to talk about that and maybe
even read a little bit of whatLance said that has my interest piqued.
We'll take a break, we'll beback here listening to Sincy three sixty on
the Home of the Bengals ESPN fifteenthirty. Hey, if you like
