(00:23):
part of Sancy three sixty. Austin, Buddy, play that talkback on your
screen and please try not to Sabataja. All right, real quick before
we get into talkbacks, Austin,we have a couple news pieces to get
with you. Bengals Multi joint practicesnext this year, that's right, tone.
The Bengals have announced that they willbe doing two joint practices this summer

(00:47):
during the training camp. The firstwe'll come against the Chicago Bears Okabe Wrier
to their preseason game. That willbe in Chicago at Lake Forest, Illinois
hallis Hall where the Bears practice.The Bears, of course the subject of
HBO's Hard Knocks this year, sothe Bengals will get some Hard Knocks exposure.

(01:07):
The second will be on Tuesday,August the twentieth. That one will
be in Cincinnati against the Indianapolis Colts, so that preseason game at pay Corps
Stadium. Bengals have posted the informationon how you would be able to go
season ticket members, wait list members, et cetera. But two joint practices.
This is the first time under ZachTaylor that the Bengals have gone with

(01:30):
two joint practices aka against two differentteams. And Jordan rod Rieg, who
covers the La Rams and other NFLprojects for the Athletic, did say that
she thinks joint practices will be abig time training ground for the new kickoff
and teams are smart to schedule multiplepartners so they can try ideas with actual

(01:53):
contact, but without putting them ontape as they would in preseason games like
that. So that was her perspectiveon the fact that the Bengals scheduled two
different opponents. Obviously, we've talkedabout the impact of the new kickoff rule
and how from what I've been hearing, it's gonna be a lot bigger of
a deal than people are thinking.It sounds like the Bengals are getting ahead

(02:14):
of the curve on that. Sowe have that, and we also have
movement from what I'm understanding on theCNL. Perez Express Highway. The CNL
Perez Expressway is operating at full capacityright now. That's because the Reds have
just sent right hander Graham Ashcraft toTriple A Louisville. Ashcraft, as we
talked about earlier, has struggled mightily. The reason they're sending him there is

(02:38):
because today tone the Reds activated fromthe fifteen day injured list right hander Emelio
Pagan. Welcome back to bayliss withright tricep tightness. Amelio returns, Graham
Ashcraft goes to Triple A. Youmight be saying, okay, well,
who's going to be the fifth starter? Well, over the next seven days,
the Reds have two off days.Okay, they'll play this four game

(02:58):
set with the Cubs. They're offMoney Day. They play a Tuesday Wednesday
against the Guardians, They're off Thursday. I would imagine whenever Brandon Williamson is
ready to go, he'll be uphere. They also have the built in
off days, and they've used openersbefore. Wouldn't be surprised if they use
openers again. There it is,but without further ado. Now we can

(03:19):
get to talkbacks. Happy Thursday,Tony and Austin hope you guys are doing
very well today, Kevin an Architectankyou Cavs man. I thought our Reds
were going to have to settle fortwo out of three, which, according
to Meet Loaf, ain't bad.But they put on their radite caps.
They staying on business and they getto sleep out in Colorado business. And
woke up this morning and Danny Hurleywas breaking the internet and hasn't even interviewed

(03:39):
for the Lakers. Dollar accepted ityet. Speaking of the NBA, they
got the final tonight, give methe mas and six let's go. Let's
go MAVs in six, He says, interesting. Oh I don't oops,

phone on the keyboard that made thenoise. I thought I was going to

(04:00):
end the show. Hello Tony andAustin. Oh, yes, it's yes.
Since SNATCHI Redzel becoming home proud Bullsand they are. That was lovely
yesterday and the whole road trip,but especially when we got that gift from
Spencer's catalog in the ninth and misterIndia pulled it away. But the whole
thing was great. What are wedoing standing on the business. Yes,

(04:25):
and where are we going into theshrug people? Very well done. Thank

(04:45):
his phone. Thank you, DanielP fifteen Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Craig from the U. So isit a coincidence that Spencer Steer at that
go ahead home run in the topof the ninth yesterday? I think not.
That dude is a certified dog dog. The stash is getting it done.

(05:11):
Fellas need Hunter Green to start strongtonight. Take this series. And
I'm a little sprinkle drip drip onthe mass and I get and a half
love it. Love it ain't hillhere. I tell you what. I
got a story for it. Boy, I tell you there's a fellow doing
some work on the house, andboy, on his lunch break, he

(05:34):
was telling me how the Reds can'tbeat anybody good and they're not gonna make
the playoffs. Well, let metell you. He was eating the other
kind of chili and listening to theother radio station on his lunch break,
and I said, friend, youobviously don't know much about what you're talking
about. Make poor life choices goReds man business. So I'm doing the

(05:58):
home dog strategy and had the Rockiesoriginally yesterday. By the time I listened
to Locks of the Night, Redsare already down four to two. But
I wanted an excuse to root forthe Reds, so I cashed out my
Rockies bet at a cool thirty percentand put that all on the Reds for
the comeback at plus seventy. Sonext time I see you and Mo,
I owe you guys a bourbon.You have to climb the ladder for let's

(06:21):
go. I thought about doing thesame thing. Wow, because I obviously
also had the Rockies. Because I'mdoing the home dog strategy. What I'm
going to the ninth I should havecashed out, and I should have When
Elliott made that that jeter like bro, I thought the cowboy was going to

freedom. God bless America, wellsaid Kenon, Thank you for your service.
Thank you, sir. So what'sbeing the eightieth anniversary of D Day
invasion? I just want to givea little more insight. Som Eisenhower,

(07:54):
playing the invasion for the Allies,said that the only thing that could have
messed up the invasion is bad way. And of course June fifth, nineteen
forty four, when they were supposedto be in the invasion, there was
of course bad weather. So imagineyou're on the tarmac and ready to get
on one of his planes, getdropped in the hostile territory, no idea
which to come, and they tellyou got to wait an entire day.
Crazy, So all night you're thinkingabout what's to come? Cree crazy?

Austin. You retweeted the accounts fromDavid O'Keefe. I just want to
read the ps that he left,so he recounts everything, and he said,
PS, I've seen movies, assault, training, demonstration, an actual
battle, but nothing can approach thescenes on the beach from eleven thirty to

(09:05):
fourteen hundred hours, men being killedlike flies from unseen gun positions. Navy

out. Yeah. Incredible. Thatwas from Major Batch his accounts and again
I retweeted it. It was MajorStanley Batch. You can find it on
my Twitter or check out David O'Keefehad to dig him out. Unbelievable stuff.

(09:31):
Crazy the way that they had todo that. Hey, I was
wondering if you guys could talk morefor about Danny Hurley. You know,

noticed a strange behavior in them,as they would walk all over the backyard

I know there's a half a dozentalkbackers from yesterday who are now eating the
crap they dropped yesterday concerning Ellie andhow bad they thought he stinks and we

calls and talked about pets, andsomebody asked him one time, why does
my dog eat its poop? Andhe said, that the nutrients inside the

(14:24):
stuff is tasteful to dogs, thatit tastes good to them, so then
they they try to eat their poop. And that's been a fun fact that
I've carried with me ever since.Yeah, it's just a lot for me.

(17:26):
Brendall on the radio so he couldget Dan early on yeah and earlier thoughts.
Yeah, let's reach out to coachfor common. Isn't there a thing
where you actually have to beat ateam to consider them your rivalry? No,
I promise they don't consider you theirrivalry. No. No, the
biggest rival in the state of Ohio, the biggest rivalry in the state of

(17:48):
Ohio is Troy versus Pickwoo. It'slike the oldest. I mean, for
like forty seven straight years, Miamistill considered you see arrival, right,
you know, Ohio State still consideredMichigan arrival for like twenty years, and
then all of a sudden, Michiganstarted winning again. So no, it's
it's the fact that they had jokeMiami fans as a joke. Ohio,
Sydney and Troy have been in thesame division for a long time. They
play each other and everything basketball isdefinitely a rivalry. It's not just football.

(18:14):
Stand up Troy, Stand up Troy. Listen. There's a lot of
good people in Troy. I likeTroy hell of a lot more than I
like Piqua, but I'm gonna talksmack about him. I do that all
the time. Yeah, it's okay, all right, last one, Hey,

into the series against the Reds.They had swept the Rangers, they had
swept the Padres, they had beatthe Phillies, beat the Guardians, and
