He carries on on ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati sports station.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Talkbacks on since he three to sixty, welcome in, Since
(00:37):
the shirts gift card up for grabs, We've got two
in the hopper, and we've got one more chance for
you to win. Right now, Tap that little microphone next
to the play button on the iHeartRadio app where you're
on the ESPN fifteen to thirty page.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Leave us a message, Drew. Let's get him started.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Well, I guess to ask him price for Trey Henderson's
one up a little bit with the TJ. Watt signing.
I know some people say, well, no, it's gonna want more.
But see here's the thing. Also, you quoted this many times.
Trey is a one trick pony. Granted he does that
trick very well. But Watt, Parsons, Garrett and Crosby, these
(01:19):
guys are game wreckers and game disruptors. Trey is not. Yeah, yeah,
And why do I say he's not. Well, I'll tell
you this. Offensive coordinators are game planning around guys like Watt, Parsons, Crosby, Garrett.
(01:40):
I don't know too many offensive coordinators that Trey Henderson
keeps up at night.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Take care and who they are. I don't know if
I would say that.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
I think I think he's up at the top of
the list when offensive coordinator start game planning for the Bengals.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Correct, because there's nobody else on the Bengals correct, right, Like,
so he is the only guy you have to account for,
so which partially makes what he's done more impressive, right
to an extent. But also you're right, it's like, if
we can keep this guy at Bay, then will be okay.
And I always think that the game that always comes
(02:15):
back to me is the game against the Eagles. Fred Johnson,
who Bengals fans know well, was the starting left tackle
for the Eagles that day he erased Trey Hendrickson. And
I also think back to the Raiders game when they
were going up against a terrible offensive line in the
Raiders and Trey had like five sacks.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
That's what I you know what I mean, I know
what you mean.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Hello, this is former President Ronald Reagan. And well, I
don't envy anyone who finds themselves across the negotiating table
from Mike Brown or Katie Blackburn. No, the only place
worse to find yourself would be on the jumbo tron
at a cold plague.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Oh my gosh, yesterday was one of the best days
in the history of Twitter.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Yes, and like what even close. It's a true adage.
It's every day there's a main character on Twitter and
you do not want to be those. Yeah, there were
two of them yesterday, but those two lovebirds at the
Coldplay concert were definitely the main character.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
The funniest thing, too, is I've seen like three statements
and they're all fake, but people just run with them
like they're real.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
God, Lee, it's awesome.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
I just wanted to ask the callers and the Bengal
fans out there, is the are you guys tired of
having like negative storylines going into Spring camp every year?
Flick spring training? Like a couple of years ago, it
was Burrow and his injury, Is it going to be healthy?
Then it was the the are you going to extend
the wide receiver? And then it was going to be
the Higgins thing, and then it was the Chase thing,
and now it's the hendricksing thing. Is wouldn't it be nice, though,
(03:51):
for you guys to actually have one Spring camp without
anything that like a great cloud covering you guys?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Yes, I would love nothing more than to sit up
here and talk about football. I want to talk about coverages.
I want to talk about man beaters. I want to
talk about zone beaters. I want to talk about hole shots.
I want to talk about gap scheme. I want to
talk about zone runs. I want to talk about difference
between what Justin Roscotti did last year, what justinro Scotti
might do this year, and the impact of Dan Pitcher
(04:21):
on the run game, and how Chase Brown could be impactful.
And I would love to talk about all that stuff.
I just don't think we don't get to.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
The quiet offseason is pretty hard to attain for any
NFL team though.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Wrong Tennessee Titans. Who's talking about them? They had the
number one pick. You haven't heard from them in six months.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Let me rephrase then, a team with high expectations rarely
quiet offseason.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
And and you know what we've said in the past,
like in this era of Bengals football and the way
that players are treated and the way the personalities of
younger players continue to come to the league, this is
gonna happen constantly. Yeah, I mean we're seeing it with
Terry McLaurin in Washington. We're seeing it with Michael Parsons
in Dallas. We saw it with t J. Watt and Pittsburgh.
We saw it with Miles in Cleveland. We've seen it
(05:07):
repeatedly this offseason already. So yeah, to an extent, it
is pretty normal. But there are a few teams that
kind of you know, why did Titans? Why do they
still exist?
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Who knows but that you're right. You want to talk
about the most under the radar team.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Nobody talks. Somebody talks about the Tennessee Titan. Even the Jaguars.
They're building. They're building a stadium and nobody's talking about it.
It's gonna be sweet stadium.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
I know.
Speaker 7 (05:35):
Hey, Yaudis Perry up in Westchester, wanted to give you
kudos on the outstanding job you did all week long.
Thank you very entertaining. You towed the line. Well played,
my man. I'm want to call this message anything goes Friday,
because how letty get off to typical sports beat?
Speaker 3 (05:54):
All right? This week the World Series of Poker happened.
It was awesome to watch much. Did you check it out?
And do you and the boys play poker.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
I have a couple of friends that are big poker players.
I haven't played poker in a long time. I didn't
see I saw a couple of clips on social media,
but I did not watch much of the World Series
of Poker, did you.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
I like you saw clips, kind of checked in and
out if it was on, you know, a stream. A
lot of it's streamed now as opposed to being on television,
so I dipped in and out of some streams. I
enjoy watching poker, you know, when I get the chance.
It's a very fascinating game. I don't play. I'd like
to play. I don't play a lot, and it's not
something I do. If I go to the casino, if
(06:37):
I'm playing poker, I'm having some going to a buddy's
or a friend's house and we're just gonna have a
Ora County, probably have a couple of cold ones and
you know, play some cards.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
I mean, I know Mincey was in it. He's just
a complete buffoon, so you know, watching him a little
bit is interesting. But Perry, thank you for the nice words.
I feel like I have sucked this week, so it
was nice to hear that. I appreciate that.
Speaker 8 (07:02):
So in honor of list season, I'd like to present
a list of the top three things the Bengals could
spend thirty million dollars on other than trying to win
Super Bowl. Okay, Number three form a ring of dishonor
beginning with pac Man Jones and Carl Pick ends. Number two,
they could spend it on four point five million bowls
of mock turtle soup. Yes, and number one five hundred
(07:24):
years worth of salary of an in house escalator repair
a person.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Hey, I think those escalators got fixed. Well, bake news
for now. I'm pretty sure that was like part of
the even before the lease got redone. I think it
was one of the things they already fixed. Somebody had
to double check me on that. But does those ascalators?
That's at one point last year they had somebody that
(07:49):
would like they would only let like twenty people on
at a time, so you would like step in front
of the entrance and you would have to wait and
wait and wait and wait, and then he'd let you
on and be like twenty at a time, and they
do it again.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
It's been a while since I've been to a game
at pay Corps, but I remember I think they were
like completely out of commission the game that I went to.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
They used to break down every game. Yeah, it's not surprising, though.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Hopefully I hope for everybody's sake that those things are
fixed and they work for every home game soon.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
When I was working there, dude, I was at every
home game for like six years, and the amount of
the amount of people like, oh my gosh, it was
unbelievable good times EP fifteen.
Speaker 9 (08:29):
Oh wait, he's gone the MWG though.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
I mean, I've been thinking about this t J.
Speaker 9 (08:35):
Watt contract. I think the big difference between Trey and
the other guys is Trey is a series wrecker. Those
other guys are game wreckers. I'm glad the Bengals are
playing hardball. I hope they settle somewhere just north of
thirty and he plays football for the Bengals the next
couple of years.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Yeah. Yeah, I think that's a good way to put it.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Ultimately, though, with this, you know, we can talk about
it more in the third hour after we talk to Tommy.
But like, what you do after this all comes to
an end is what is going to determine whether or
not you're right and wrong?
Speaker 10 (09:14):
Nah, Tony, this is peg Lake Pete returning your call. Yes,
you can use the coupon on the back of the
receipt from the Dackery deck to save twenty percent on
this weekend's ocean cruise. You'll be delighted to know that
entertainment on the cruise will be provided by ringside rick
Yuccino and his wrestling monkeys, entertainment for everybody.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
A good time will be had by all. That's something
that interest you. That was terrible.
Speaker 11 (09:47):
Hey guys, it's been a light week in sports, so
I just got a few random thoughts. First off, is
FCC a better team with den K out of the
starting eleven?
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Oh? Boy?
Speaker 11 (09:55):
Is that Wednesday? That may have been the best the
attack looked all season? It won by three goals. Yeah,
he's among the league leaders in goals scored, But is
he a good team player? They look more complete without
him in my opinion. Hey guys, why the golfer wear
two pairs of socks in case he gets a hole
in one? Casey got a hole in one, let's go.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Bill Simmons coined the term the Ewing theory when the
I believe it is in two thousand when the Knicks
made the finals and Ewing got hurt and they started
playing better, and there are a lot of ewing theory candidates,
and it looks like that's kind of the road that
he's going. There is that Denk maybe a ewing theory candidate.
I don't, I don't agree with it, but.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
There are some people that say, just from a team standpoint,
they looked a lot better playing as a team on Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
That's just because of who was on the other side.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Well, and from the sound of it from his post,
it sounds like he's going to miss a few games,
so we'll get a uh yeah, get a better idea
of how that works, all right.
Speaker 11 (10:56):
Red, second half starts tonight. Seems like the first half
went by real fast. It did, perhaps faster than the
speed of sound. Looking forward to getting Tony back next week.
Hope we had a fun time in.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
Para para para.
Speaker 11 (11:11):
Anyways, just head not to a concert with my really
good work friend. Everyone have a wonderful weekend. Viva Levita baby.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Oh my gosh, who was that was that? It was
Yits that's pretty good.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
That was yeah, there was.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
I don't think there was any name attached to that one,
but that good. We may have to throw that one
into the y. Yeah, I think we may need to
throw that one into the hopper.
Speaker 12 (11:35):
Hey, if it crawled does something this year, maybe instead
of gig crawled, we can say stick that in your crawl.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
We have a whiteboard at my apartment on the fridge
and it's updated with the Reds record every day and
some sort of little comment. And since beginning of the
All Star break it has said fifty and forty seven
and underneath it my roommate wrote, make a move, crawl daddy.
There we go every day.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Hey, guys, how you doing this Friday? This is Ryan.
Speaker 13 (12:07):
I'm actually out in Sycamore Park in Claremont County. Hell yeah. Anyway,
have you guys seen Slapfest? And if and if so,
what channel was that on? Can you guys let me know?
I can't find it? That's that stuff is so hilarious Slapfest?
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Do you know what that is?
Speaker 14 (12:28):
No?
Speaker 3 (12:28):
I got nothing.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
So you and I were at the same concert last weekend.
We were at the country concert Hickory Hill Lakes, Fort Larami, Ohio.
Did you go up there's a the MIC's hard like
tent trailer thing. Did you go up there?
Speaker 3 (12:45):
I did not? All right, So that's where we.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Hang out because we got a lot of friends up there,
and they have like these Mike's Hard girls. You know,
they're just scantily clad and oh yes, they're promoting stuff
and taking pictures and everything. And they were doing this
thing where they would bring out a shot of Mike's
Hard and they would sit on a stool and the
man would get down on his knees down in front
(13:12):
of these women and they would like put the shot, like,
they would give him the shot, and then they would
spray him with water and smack him in the face.
I watched like fifty of these happen, and guys just
kept lining up to take a shot of Mike's Hard,
get soaked with water and get smacked in the face
(13:35):
by these beautiful women.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Would you ever do that? Absolutely not. It was kind
of funny. My friends are like, do it, do it?
Speaker 2 (13:42):
I'm like, no, No, I don't want to get smacked
in the face.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I don't care how good looking she is, I don't
want to get smacked. No, you didn't have to pay. Okay,
they were like it was complimentary, but it's it's a
shot of Mike's hard liminade. It's not like it's a
shot of something you know, strong, actually hard.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Yeah, Wow, that's incredible. No, I was almost kind of
hoping you'd mosey over there. I was unaware of that. No, thanks,
that's not my speed.
Speaker 15 (14:08):
Shine Break without the park time, Shine Break without the
park time, or a week of shows Allo in the studio,
Gonna do it up even if he's on his own
aut he knows what we like, keep improving that. He
(14:28):
doesn't need old Tony Pike shine Bright without the park timer,
And I'm just playing Tony.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
You know, I love you, Rihanna.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
I believe it was a play on shine Bright like diamonds, Rihanna,
so points for creativity.
Speaker 13 (14:45):
I guess, hey, Nick Crawl, sign you Hennio Suarez.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Today, Goret today. Now he did sign him. He's still
on that deal, correct place for another team.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
My mind when I learned that, isn't that crazy? When
I learned that this year that he's still playing on
the Reds contract.
Speaker 12 (15:07):
Otter Ryan B Yellow spraying what up Dog formal announcements
for TVs. I've retired forty seven at least for a
little while. We'll see if any updates come on any
lists or anything like that. Talkback here to say, WWE
time in the world of sports broadcasting and Ohio State
fans for years who have complained about Desmond Howard being
(15:30):
on college game Day, Hey, guess what, you won the
national championship.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Here's your reward.
Speaker 12 (15:34):
You get to listen to Dave Portnoy every Saturday.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Okay, though, hear me out Portnoy and Urban.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
That's going to be a great eighteen week long match
will be fun.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Yes, it will.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Because I don't think Urban's gonna take anything from him,
and I think Dave is great at pushing buttons yep.
And you know, I think Brady Quinn's a sneaky wild
card in there.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
But I am kind of fascinated to see how this goes.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
I think Urban and and Dave Portnoy will like be
grudgingly like each other.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Yeah, and that will make for good TV. So we
shall see.
Speaker 9 (16:12):
Brian v.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Double Nip.
Speaker 12 (16:14):
Sure, you know this isn't gonna help everybody with the
whole Buckeye fans are conceited take. But you know, it
really is hilarious to see these major news networks completely
making their content decisions based on what they know is
going to drive engagement, you know, just like we know right,
good engagement, bad engagement.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
The views are exactly the same.
Speaker 12 (16:32):
Hey, let's get a Buckeye hater on both of the
major college football shows. Help drive numbers, help drive the rivalry.
It just makes sense. Bucky Nation moves the needle.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
We do, and they are I mean, yeah, true, they are.
They are the needle in college football.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
I'd argue there is something I learned in this business
that took me way, way, way too long to learn,
and that is that it does not matter if you're good.
It matters if you make money. Yep, And that's kind
of the case.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
You see.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
You saw it a lot with the NBA coverage in
the finals and in the playoffs. You see it a
little bit with college sports. I mean, I'm not a
huge DES guy. I think DES has gotten better over
the years. But it's gonna be really great when all
these sanctions come down on Michigan and they take away
that title and all that stuff happens.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Because then what are they going to say?
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Well, but he's right, Ohio State fans are sensitive and
there's a lot of them, and that's how it's gonna work.
Speaker 16 (17:30):
Hey, this is Reggie aka Bigan what Brian, I just
want to give a shout out my brother. I was
down at Sycamore Park last weekend with the boy and
we were fishing, wading in the water, and man, we
had a hell of a time. We caught some sunfish
down there. But uh, you ever been to Roadside Park.
It's right by the prison, but it's it's a good time.
You get in there, and that freaking creek turns into
(17:54):
a damn river. But it's not that deep and there's
some fish in there. Brother, all right, fish on?
Speaker 2 (18:01):
What was it John B that says keep fishing, never stop.
I used to be a big fisherman back in the day.
I did when I was little. Okay, you're not you're
not baiting hooks anymore. No, I could not tell you
the last time. I don't have the patience fishing. Yeah,
I don't think I do either.
Speaker 10 (18:17):
All right.
Speaker 14 (18:17):
Last one, Hey, Audie, since it is lifts season, we're
gonna do a start bench cut raw from that at
the museum Valentine from The Kingsman and Chip Douglas from
The Cable Guy Start bench cutting.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Who's Who's raw from the night at the museum. Who's that?
I don't know. I don't I didn't know, and I
don't know any of those.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
I've never seen The Kingsman or the Cable Guy. You
should know better, dude, I don't watch movies start bench
cut in the order that he gave them. Yeah, I
guess I'll start Night at the Museum. I've at least
seen that movie, so I'll start that one, all right,
I think, all right them, we'll take a break, we'll
come back. When we do, we'll play the hopperd talkbacks
(19:03):
and choose a talkback of the week winner of a
Cincy Shirts gift card. That's next on ESPN fifteen thirty

Speaker 3 (00:53):
Leave us a message, Drew. Let's get him started.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Well, I guess to ask him price for Trey Henderson's

I know some people say, well, no, it's gonna want more.
But see here's the thing. Also, you quoted this many times.

(01:19):

And why do I say he's not. Well, I'll tell
you this. Offensive coordinators are game planning around guys like Watt, Parsons, Crosby, Garrett.
(01:40):
I don't know too many offensive coordinators that Trey Henderson
keeps up at night.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Take care and who they are. I don't know if
I would say that.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
I think I think he's up at the top of

Speaker 5 (02:44):
Hello, this is former President Ronald Reagan. And well, I
don't envy anyone who finds themselves across the negotiating table
from Mike Brown or Katie Blackburn. No, the only place
worse to find yourself would be on the jumbo tron
at a cold plague.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Oh my gosh, yesterday was one of the best days
in the history of Twitter.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Yes, and like what even close. It's a true adage.

you do not want to be those. Yeah, there were

Speaker 2 (03:21):
The funniest thing, too, is I've seen like three statements
and they're all fake, but people just run with them
like they're real.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
God, Lee, it's awesome.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
I just wanted to ask the callers and the Bengal
fans out there, is the are you guys tired of
having like negative storylines going into Spring camp every year?
Flick spring training? Like a couple of years ago, it
was Burrow and his injury, Is it going to be healthy?
Then it was the the are you going to extend
the wide receiver? And then it was going to be
the Higgins thing, and then it was the Chase thing,
and now it's the hendricksing thing. Is wouldn't it be nice, though,
(03:51):
for you guys to actually have one Spring camp without
anything that like a great cloud covering you guys?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Yes, I would love nothing more than to sit up
here and talk about football. I want to talk about coverages.
I want to talk about man beaters. I want to
talk about zone beaters. I want to talk about hole shots.
I want to talk about gap scheme. I want to
talk about zone runs. I want to talk about difference
between what Justin Roscotti did last year, what justinro Scotti
might do this year, and the impact of Dan Pitcher
(04:21):
on the run game, and how Chase Brown could be impactful.
And I would love to talk about all that stuff.

They're building. They're building a stadium and nobody's talking about it.
It's gonna be sweet stadium.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
I know.
Speaker 7 (05:35):
Hey, Yaudis Perry up in Westchester, wanted to give you
kudos on the outstanding job you did all week long.
Thank you very entertaining. You towed the line. Well played,
my man. I'm want to call this message anything goes Friday,
because how letty get off to typical sports beat?
Speaker 3 (05:54):
All right? This week the World Series of Poker happened.
It was awesome to watch much. Did you check it out?
And do you and the boys play poker.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
I have a couple of friends that are big poker players.
I haven't played poker in a long time. I didn't
see I saw a couple of clips on social media,
but I did not watch much of the World Series
of Poker, did you.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
I like you saw clips, kind of checked in and
out if it was on, you know, a stream. A
lot of it's streamed now as opposed to being on television,
so I dipped in and out of some streams. I
enjoy watching poker, you know, when I get the chance.
It's a very fascinating game. I don't play. I'd like
to play. I don't play a lot, and it's not
something I do. If I go to the casino, if
(06:37):
I'm playing poker, I'm having some going to a buddy's
or a friend's house and we're just gonna have a
Ora County, probably have a couple of cold ones and
you know, play some cards.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
I mean, I know Mincey was in it. He's just
a complete buffoon, so you know, watching him a little
bit is interesting. But Perry, thank you for the nice words.
I feel like I have sucked this week, so it
was nice to hear that. I appreciate that.
Speaker 8 (07:02):
So in honor of list season, I'd like to present
a list of the top three things the Bengals could
spend thirty million dollars on other than trying to win
Super Bowl. Okay, Number three form a ring of dishonor
beginning with pac Man Jones and Carl Pick ends. Number two,
they could spend it on four point five million bowls
of mock turtle soup. Yes, and number one five hundred
(07:24):
years worth of salary of an in house escalator repair
a person.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Hey, I think those escalators got fixed. Well, bake news
for now. I'm pretty sure that was like part of
the even before the lease got redone. I think it
was one of the things they already fixed. Somebody had
to double check me on that. But does those ascalators?
That's at one point last year they had somebody that
(07:49):
would like they would only let like twenty people on
at a time, so you would like step in front
of the entrance and you would have to wait and
wait and wait and wait, and then he'd let you
on and be like twenty at a time, and they
do it again.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
It's been a while since I've been to a game
at pay Corps, but I remember I think they were
like completely out of commission the game that I went to.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
They used to break down every game. Yeah, it's not surprising, though.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Hopefully I hope for everybody's sake that those things are
fixed and they work for every home game soon.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
When I was working there, dude, I was at every
home game for like six years, and the amount of
the amount of people like, oh my gosh, it was
unbelievable good times EP fifteen.
Speaker 9 (08:29):
Oh wait, he's gone the MWG though.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
I mean, I've been thinking about this t J.
Speaker 9 (08:35):
Watt contract. I think the big difference between Trey and
the other guys is Trey is a series wrecker. Those
other guys are game wreckers. I'm glad the Bengals are
playing hardball. I hope they settle somewhere just north of
thirty and he plays football for the Bengals the next
couple of years.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Yeah. Yeah, I think that's a good way to put it.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Ultimately, though, with this, you know, we can talk about
it more in the third hour after we talk to Tommy.
But like, what you do after this all comes to
an end is what is going to determine whether or
not you're right and wrong?
Speaker 10 (09:14):
Nah, Tony, this is peg Lake Pete returning your call. Yes,
you can use the coupon on the back of the
receipt from the Dackery deck to save twenty percent on
this weekend's ocean cruise. You'll be delighted to know that
entertainment on the cruise will be provided by ringside rick
Yuccino and his wrestling monkeys, entertainment for everybody.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
A good time will be had by all. That's something
that interest you. That was terrible.
Speaker 11 (09:47):
Hey guys, it's been a light week in sports, so
I just got a few random thoughts. First off, is
FCC a better team with den K out of the
starting eleven?
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Oh? Boy?
Speaker 11 (09:55):
Is that Wednesday? That may have been the best the
attack looked all season? It won by three goals. Yeah,
he's among the league leaders in goals scored, But is
he a good team player? They look more complete without
him in my opinion. Hey guys, why the golfer wear
two pairs of socks in case he gets a hole
in one? Casey got a hole in one, let's go.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Bill Simmons coined the term the Ewing theory when the
I believe it is in two thousand when the Knicks
made the finals and Ewing got hurt and they started
playing better, and there are a lot of ewing theory candidates,
and it looks like that's kind of the road that
he's going. There is that Denk maybe a ewing theory candidate.
I don't, I don't agree with it, but.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
There are some people that say, just from a team standpoint,
they looked a lot better playing as a team on Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
That's just because of who was on the other side.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Well, and from the sound of it from his post,
it sounds like he's going to miss a few games,
so we'll get a uh yeah, get a better idea
of how that works, all right.
Speaker 11 (10:56):
Red, second half starts tonight. Seems like the first half
went by real fast. It did, perhaps faster than the
speed of sound. Looking forward to getting Tony back next week.
Hope we had a fun time in.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
Para para para.
Speaker 11 (11:11):
Anyways, just head not to a concert with my really
good work friend. Everyone have a wonderful weekend. Viva Levita baby.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Oh my gosh, who was that was that? It was
Yits that's pretty good.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
That was yeah, there was.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
I don't think there was any name attached to that one,
but that good. We may have to throw that one
into the y. Yeah, I think we may need to
throw that one into the hopper.
Speaker 12 (11:35):
Hey, if it crawled does something this year, maybe instead
of gig crawled, we can say stick that in your crawl.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
We have a whiteboard at my apartment on the fridge
and it's updated with the Reds record every day and
some sort of little comment. And since beginning of the
All Star break it has said fifty and forty seven
and underneath it my roommate wrote, make a move, crawl daddy.
There we go every day.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Hey, guys, how you doing this Friday? This is Ryan.
Speaker 13 (12:07):
I'm actually out in Sycamore Park in Claremont County. Hell yeah. Anyway,
have you guys seen Slapfest? And if and if so,
what channel was that on? Can you guys let me know?
I can't find it? That's that stuff is so hilarious Slapfest?
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Do you know what that is?
Speaker 14 (12:28):
No?
Speaker 3 (12:28):
I got nothing.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
So you and I were at the same concert last weekend.
We were at the country concert Hickory Hill Lakes, Fort Larami, Ohio.
Did you go up there's a the MIC's hard like
tent trailer thing. Did you go up there?
Speaker 3 (12:45):
I did not? All right, So that's where we.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Hang out because we got a lot of friends up there,
and they have like these Mike's Hard girls. You know,
they're just scantily clad and oh yes, they're promoting stuff
and taking pictures and everything. And they were doing this
thing where they would bring out a shot of Mike's
Hard and they would sit on a stool and the
man would get down on his knees down in front
(13:12):
of these women and they would like put the shot, like,
they would give him the shot, and then they would
spray him with water and smack him in the face.
I watched like fifty of these happen, and guys just
kept lining up to take a shot of Mike's Hard,
get soaked with water and get smacked in the face
(13:35):
by these beautiful women.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Would you ever do that? Absolutely not. It was kind
of funny. My friends are like, do it, do it?
Speaker 2 (13:42):
I'm like, no, No, I don't want to get smacked
in the face.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I don't care how good looking she is, I don't
want to get smacked. No, you didn't have to pay. Okay,
they were like it was complimentary, but it's it's a
shot of Mike's hard liminade. It's not like it's a
shot of something you know, strong, actually hard.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Yeah, Wow, that's incredible. No, I was almost kind of
hoping you'd mosey over there. I was unaware of that. No, thanks,
that's not my speed.
Speaker 15 (14:08):
Shine Break without the park time, Shine Break without the
park time, or a week of shows Allo in the studio,
Gonna do it up even if he's on his own
aut he knows what we like, keep improving that. He
(14:28):
doesn't need old Tony Pike shine Bright without the park timer,
And I'm just playing Tony.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
You know, I love you, Rihanna.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
I believe it was a play on shine Bright like diamonds, Rihanna,
so points for creativity.
Speaker 13 (14:45):
I guess, hey, Nick Crawl, sign you Hennio Suarez.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Today, Goret today. Now he did sign him. He's still
on that deal, correct place for another team.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
My mind when I learned that, isn't that crazy? When
I learned that this year that he's still playing on
the Reds contract.
Speaker 12 (15:07):
Otter Ryan B Yellow spraying what up Dog formal announcements
for TVs. I've retired forty seven at least for a
little while. We'll see if any updates come on any
lists or anything like that. Talkback here to say, WWE
time in the world of sports broadcasting and Ohio State
fans for years who have complained about Desmond Howard being
(15:30):
on college game Day, Hey, guess what, you won the
national championship.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Here's your reward.
Speaker 12 (15:34):
You get to listen to Dave Portnoy every Saturday.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Okay, though, hear me out Portnoy and Urban.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
That's going to be a great eighteen week long match
will be fun.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Yes, it will.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Because I don't think Urban's gonna take anything from him,
and I think Dave is great at pushing buttons yep.
And you know, I think Brady Quinn's a sneaky wild
card in there.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
But I am kind of fascinated to see how this goes.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
I think Urban and and Dave Portnoy will like be
grudgingly like each other.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Yeah, and that will make for good TV. So we
shall see.
Speaker 9 (16:12):
Brian v.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Double Nip.
Speaker 12 (16:14):
Sure, you know this isn't gonna help everybody with the
whole Buckeye fans are conceited take. But you know, it
really is hilarious to see these major news networks completely
making their content decisions based on what they know is
going to drive engagement, you know, just like we know right,
good engagement, bad engagement.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
The views are exactly the same.
Speaker 12 (16:32):
Hey, let's get a Buckeye hater on both of the
major college football shows. Help drive numbers, help drive the rivalry.
It just makes sense. Bucky Nation moves the needle.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
We do, and they are I mean, yeah, true, they are.
They are the needle in college football.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
I'd argue there is something I learned in this business
that took me way, way, way too long to learn,
and that is that it does not matter if you're good.
It matters if you make money. Yep, And that's kind
of the case.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
You see.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
You saw it a lot with the NBA coverage in
the finals and in the playoffs. You see it a
little bit with college sports. I mean, I'm not a
huge DES guy. I think DES has gotten better over
the years. But it's gonna be really great when all
these sanctions come down on Michigan and they take away
that title and all that stuff happens.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Because then what are they going to say?
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Well, but he's right, Ohio State fans are sensitive and
there's a lot of them, and that's how it's gonna work.
Speaker 16 (17:30):
Hey, this is Reggie aka Bigan what Brian, I just
want to give a shout out my brother. I was
down at Sycamore Park last weekend with the boy and
we were fishing, wading in the water, and man, we
had a hell of a time. We caught some sunfish
down there. But uh, you ever been to Roadside Park.
It's right by the prison, but it's it's a good time.
You get in there, and that freaking creek turns into
(17:54):
a damn river. But it's not that deep and there's
some fish in there. Brother, all right, fish on?
Speaker 2 (18:01):
What was it John B that says keep fishing, never stop.
I used to be a big fisherman back in the day.
I did when I was little. Okay, you're not you're
not baiting hooks anymore. No, I could not tell you
the last time. I don't have the patience fishing. Yeah,
I don't think I do either.
Speaker 10 (18:17):
All right.
Speaker 14 (18:17):
Last one, Hey, Audie, since it is lifts season, we're
gonna do a start bench cut raw from that at
the museum Valentine from The Kingsman and Chip Douglas from
The Cable Guy Start bench cutting.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Who's Who's raw from the night at the museum. Who's that?
I don't know. I don't I didn't know, and I
don't know any of those.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
I've never seen The Kingsman or the Cable Guy. You
should know better, dude, I don't watch movies start bench
cut in the order that he gave them. Yeah, I
guess I'll start Night at the Museum. I've at least
seen that movie, so I'll start that one, all right,
I think, all right them, we'll take a break, we'll
come back. When we do, we'll play the hopperd talkbacks
(19:03):
and choose a talkback of the week winner of a
Cincy Shirts gift card. That's next on ESPN fifteen thirty
