Good and happy morning, wonderful people of Sincy three sixty.

Speaker 4 (01:49):
My favorite show. This is Jim.

Speaker 5 (01:52):
Five years ago.

Speaker 4 (01:53):
I married a lovely six foot lady from south of
Sena into football. She loves defense and she's not a
big fan of this. I say, who day? She says, dahu,
look for the guy limping around.

Speaker 5 (02:05):
He shot himself in the foot so many times. They
can't win more than ten games.

Speaker 4 (02:09):
God, but that's her. Let's just get it done. We
need a Defense's a lot going on right there. Very
good is six foot woman from south to Santa? Is
that a song?

Speaker 5 (02:23):
I don't know?

Speaker 4 (02:24):
Okay? Good questions kind of familiar.

Speaker 7 (02:27):
Hello, this is former President Ronald Regan and Robert Well.
I ran into Trey Hendrickson last night on the beach,
and when I came up to him, I said, Hey,
what's happening, Captain? He didn't like that too much. But seriously,
off the top of my brill cream coated head. I
can name five people that I'd rather have as a
Bengal captain than Tree, Captain, Ahab, Captain, Crunch, Captain, Kangaroo, Captain,

(02:53):
cave Man and the Captain and t'neil.

Speaker 5 (02:57):
I like that. Those are well on. Those are well done.

Speaker 8 (03:04):
Tony, what up?

Speaker 4 (03:05):
Welcome back for vacation at the Iceman.

Speaker 8 (03:08):
I heard what you said earlier today on the Tonimo
Football Show, which, by the.

Speaker 5 (03:12):
Way, I hope we get more local programming like this.

Speaker 8 (03:14):
You guys are doing a great job, but you're talking
about Tamar Stewart's agent and how easily or hard it
is to fire his agent. Corey Dillon has told.

Speaker 4 (03:23):
Me this multiple times all my show.

Speaker 8 (03:25):
You don't work for the agent. The agent works for you.
To fire your agent, he's doing you no good.

Speaker 4 (03:34):
I don't disagree with the Iceman.

Speaker 5 (03:36):
You don't work for your agent, your agent.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
Talking about Euen Soarez, I believe he still has a house, Thomas.

Speaker 5 (03:45):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
He obviously lived there when he played for the Reds
and apparently did not sell it when he got traded.
So he's got a got a place to come home to.

Speaker 4 (03:54):
I wonder has he been has it been kept up.
It's been a while since Gino played here.

Speaker 5 (04:01):
Has he rented it out?

Speaker 4 (04:02):
Has it been rented out? Is there a cleaning crew?
I bet if you're the cleaning crew, you love going
to that house because you don't really have much to
do right right?

Speaker 5 (04:12):
You know? Man? You know what I would? I would
welcome back.

Speaker 4 (04:15):
Yim day day. It's my favorite thing. I watched a
compilation of that.

Speaker 5 (04:21):
I did too. It was so good.

Speaker 4 (04:23):
I forgot how much he just loves saying.

Speaker 9 (04:25):
That him here with my new friend Wwees. The genius
Tony Bike is back from his excursion to the Daggery Shack.
I heard that he'd drink them dry, so he knew
it was time to fly. Now, Tony, don't get upset
because I am just teasing the welcome back to Sincy three.

Speaker 5 (04:47):
Wow, very good, the genius.

Speaker 10 (04:50):
I paid every yellow springs rest in peace. The Hulkster
Hulk Hogan passing away today. Immediate My mind goes back
to senior year of high school. Shout out Talawanda Butler
tech ffa chapter UH for our into year banquet. All
the officers would do you know, big entrances.

Speaker 8 (05:10):
It was hilarious.

Speaker 4 (05:11):
Smoke machine Strobe lights.

Speaker 10 (05:13):
Well, my entrance was modeled after the Haulkster had even
had a shirt that I tore in half through into
the audience.

Speaker 4 (05:20):
Just a legend.

Speaker 5 (05:21):
Yeah, legend is a very good work. Beautiful in this neighborhood.

Speaker 11 (05:27):
Good beautiful day for a neighbor.

Speaker 12 (05:29):
What you came.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
It might be os time for lots of the night.

Speaker 9 (05:40):
Brought to you by B zero zero calories, zero bets,
zero sponsors.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
Holy cow, that.

Speaker 5 (05:55):
That was so good to hear from Harry.

Speaker 6 (05:58):
Hey, guys, it's JD from Chicago. Undervaluing the offensive coordinator
Dan Pitcher. Is is he a sending kind of like
Ben Johnson did for the Lions last year? Is Dan
Pitcher a better OC than Brian Callahan was?

Speaker 5 (06:20):
Uh? Maybe, I think I think it's fair to say
after this year, you can get a good judge on that.

Speaker 4 (06:26):
Yeah, I think so. I do think he's ascending, I
really do.

Speaker 5 (06:29):
Sure. And we were talking about him in the off
season maybe getting a job.

Speaker 4 (06:32):
Yeah, I mean, I think if they have another good
year offensively, he probably will get a job somewhere. And then,
you know, I think he kind of looked down the
rest of the line could Brad Cragthorpe come up currently
the quarterbacks coach? Could it be Justin Roscotti, who I
am a big fan of, who brought a lot of
those Minnesota concepts with Justin Jefferson here. So yeah, I
mean this is a it's a problem to have. And

(06:53):
I do think that Dan Pitcher's better offensive coordinator than
Brian Callahan. And what we're going to learn at is
Dan Pitcher's taking over the run game. You know, Frank
Pollack used to handle most of that. Dan Pitcher is
taking it over now. Curious to see what his wrinkles
look like.

Speaker 5 (07:09):
Danny ball game.

Speaker 13 (07:10):
Oh, Dan Pittrick, the Lord, your savior in the sky.
Austin sabotaged me yesterday, so.

Speaker 4 (07:17):
Well, yeah, I'm gonna sabotage you again. We don't need
to have talkbackers yelling back and forth to one another.
Nobody cares.

Speaker 13 (07:24):
Oh no's welcome Jamal warner along with Halkin. Uh yeah,
Ozzy Osborne would be the three. I guess I don't
know if I necessarily believe in that stuff, but all
eighty stars, what do you know?

Speaker 4 (07:36):
All right? Pete? Yeah, that stinks about Malcolm. Jamal Warner
Man the old Huxtable reptide.

Speaker 14 (07:41):
All right, so Messy and Albas sit out the MLS
All Star Game in Austin for no known reason. Okay,
there's a league rule that if you do so, you
cannot play in the next league game in the MLS, which,
of course, and this is why it's relevant to us,
is against FC Cincinnati this Saturday. Actually enforce this is
the question. Will they make Messi and Albus sit out?

(08:04):
Because this is a huge game supporter shield leaders FC
cincinnatiking to sweep Miami on the season.

Speaker 5 (08:10):
What do we think they better enforce it? Raise? Hell,
you don't change the rules for a couple of players.

Speaker 4 (08:17):
Me and Tommy g go pound on the door at
Don Garber to the MLS commissioner. Let's go some stuff
to say, pass go Garbs. Who's more of an MLS commissioner,
Don Garber or Lionel Messi? This might be the toughest
one of all. HAULK Hogan.

Speaker 5 (08:39):
What's you gonna do?

Speaker 6 (08:42):
He has gone on to that great big r NC convention.

Speaker 15 (08:46):
In the sky.

Speaker 4 (08:47):
He's kicked the bucket. He's body slammed of the bucket.

Speaker 10 (08:51):
Legend.

Speaker 4 (08:52):
Hey, I have a question for you guys.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
Should the Banals reach out to the Texans, you know,
try and trade for earth Smith.

Speaker 4 (09:00):
Can we run it back? And we got him? Yeah,
there is room.

Speaker 5 (09:06):
If no offense falls through, do you go back.

Speaker 4 (09:08):
To earth I mean, how do you not pick up
the phone?

Speaker 5 (09:10):
Never We'll never get those weeks back where we got
that excited about earth Smith. Unbelievable.

Speaker 4 (09:16):
He did have that one sick touchdown catch against the Bills.
That was pretty cool.

Speaker 12 (09:20):
Yeah, what's up guys, Big Kahunay and Kentucky. It's case Burns.
He's an overpowering ace. He's gonna be the eighth of
the staff. He is what Hunter Green should be. I
think you trade Hunter Green, uh, get a good package
for him, and then Burns Abbott Londolo that's what you
build around. And then Tony Hastermain Burton been looking down

(09:40):
at camp. What unit is he running with? And if
you heard where now is he living with Burrow or
what's his living situation?

Speaker 4 (09:48):
Why leave a talk back when it is beeping constantly
in the background. Where's the situational awareness from Big Kahuna.

Speaker 5 (09:54):
I don't know the living situation. I know he's uh,
he's been mixing in with the twos. I know today
in the first team setting he shoulder pass from Joe Burrow,
so maybe building some trust there. So I'm open to
any trade ideas for the Reds, and I'm open to
Jermaine Burton getting more opportunities if he earns them.

Speaker 4 (10:12):
It does seem like some teams have asked the Reds
about Hunter Green. Jeff Passon kind of wrote about it
on ESPN that the Reds aren't really interested, but if
it's like a star for star type of trade, then
they'd be open to it.

Speaker 5 (10:23):
So we'll dive into a little Reds And how.

Speaker 4 (10:25):
About Nick Lodolo.

Speaker 14 (10:27):
This streak stopper I looked unbelievable yesterday. Are the Reds
ever gonna get swept again? Or more realistically, here's a question,
what happens first, the Reds get swept or the Bengals
start their season? So what's that about six weeks away?
What do you guys think I'm gonna go with the
Bengals start their season before the Reds get swept.

Speaker 5 (10:50):
At this point, I just I really do feel like
the Reds are not gonna get swept all year.

Speaker 4 (10:57):
I'm gonna go out on a limb here, I say
the Reds gets swept this weekend against Tampa.

Speaker 11 (11:00):
Oh okay, hey, Homer, who's your favorite fifteen thirty host?

Speaker 5 (11:11):
That's the captain, you know, getting ready from a big
run down here.

Speaker 4 (11:19):
Put me on lap on the radio for it.

Speaker 5 (11:21):
Because I'm feeling a good time today.

Speaker 4 (11:23):
Yeah, they are.

Speaker 5 (11:25):
David Dobb.

Speaker 4 (11:27):
Yeah, I can't believe you attacked that dude the way
you did.

Speaker 5 (11:29):
I just I don't mind. I think running is great,
but that's what he was doing doing someone that's ninety
degrees and you're in long pants and a long shirt.
That's borderline.

Speaker 4 (11:38):
What's wrong with that?

Speaker 5 (11:39):
That's not safe.

Speaker 4 (11:41):
Well, he knows himself and his body and he can
do what he needs to do. Maybe he's training adversity.
How do we thrive in the face of adversity?

Speaker 5 (11:52):
Hey guys, Jack, every college will just stop my run
and check my phat.

Speaker 7 (11:56):
What the hell?

Speaker 5 (11:59):
I want to be captain?

Speaker 4 (12:01):
No cap? I want to be captain?

Speaker 5 (12:04):
Yeah, no, cap.

Speaker 11 (12:05):
Seventeen sacks helped me out max thirty five mil.

Speaker 7 (12:10):
That's the bill.

Speaker 11 (12:11):
Want to be captain?

Speaker 5 (12:13):
No cap? Yeah? Man, Okay, okay.

Speaker 4 (12:18):
Crawl man, you smell?

Speaker 9 (12:20):
Will you buy?

Speaker 5 (12:22):
Will you sell the old.

Speaker 4 (12:25):
Connor Joe Man? That dudes, gotta go.

Speaker 16 (12:31):
Nobody likes crawl.

Speaker 15 (12:34):
He just thinks it is job.

Speaker 4 (12:38):
You better get swall raise. I need permission from Bob.
I mean, I don't know how you beat that right there?
That is the leader in the clubhouse.

Speaker 5 (12:51):
So good Josh.

Speaker 4 (12:54):
Fifteen w what do you do?

Speaker 16 (12:59):
I heard you had to run in with a buddy
of mine.

Speaker 4 (13:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (13:03):
Thinking about that deal, man, I sure hope it leans
in your favor. Does that then typically happen? Man, when
you're dealing with that cat? I hope you got one
other on him. Hey, question I have today from camp.
I've been listening today. Somebody mentioned this already. How's what's
the early reports on Jermaine Burton?

Speaker 9 (13:20):
How's he doing?

Speaker 5 (13:21):
Great? He's done everything you need the first two days
of a camp. Long way to go, but but he
has flashed at times down here Austin yesterday. I uh,
I had to do something. So when I was gone
on vacation, you know, I had this. I had this
deal with Cadillact. They did some spots on the show,
you remember that, and the return I got to drive

(13:42):
a car because mine got stolen all that time ago. Well,
that deal came up and I had to be a
big boy. When I got home from vacation and purchase
a car, I had to go to an actual dealership.
I didn't buy at least, Oh god, I know what
my situation is going to be in two years.

Speaker 4 (13:58):
Sorry to hear that man.

Speaker 5 (13:59):
But at least and the folks at Jake Sweeney helped
me out. But when I walked into the finance guy,
he says, hey, love listening to the show. Really good.
Buddy of mine is a talkbacker mm and all he
said was mall walking And I said MWG. He said, yeah,
he goes up to the Liberty Center and just walks

(14:19):
around the mall and leaves talkbacks.

Speaker 4 (14:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (14:21):
So I said, well, a talkback friend of yours a
talkback friend of mine. Yeah, how much can I get
me off this leak?

Speaker 4 (14:28):
To say, Dude, I had to go. I had to
go and buy a suit the other day, and that
was awful.

Speaker 5 (14:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (14:37):
I spent way more money than I wanted to. And
I had to tell this dude. He's like trying to
sell me shoes and a pocket square and a belt.
I'm like, buddy, I got all that stuff. I just
want the suit. Can we get to the suit. He's like, well,
let me show you something. I was like, I'm not
gonna buy it, no, and he just kept doing it anyways,
and I got to the end, I'm like, so how
much do I get off for being a good sport

(14:59):
and listen to all this stuff even though I told
you I didn't want to, And he was like nothing.

Speaker 5 (15:04):
I got nothing bad to say about the folks that
helped me out of chick Sweeney. Yesterday, I felt bad
as well because I had to do one of my
camp reports from there and I'm pacing around their showroom
talking about the camp. I'm sweating. I just I need
to get in something.

Speaker 7 (15:19):
Man.

Speaker 4 (15:19):
Negotiating the price of a car is very intimidating.

Speaker 5 (15:22):
It is, and I'm a terrible negotiator. Yeah, but I
couldn't thank those.

Speaker 4 (15:27):
Guys when when my car got stolen. I did not
want to lease a car. I wan't. I didn't want
a car payment or anything like that. So I went
to this dealership with the help of my dad. God
love him, because I had no idea what I was doing.
And I was like, this is the amount of money
I got from the totaling of the car. I want

(15:48):
to pay that exact amount of money for this car
that I want, And that was like basically as direct
as I could be about it, and so they made
it work to where to the exact dollar amount I
paid for the car A new car. Yeah, it was crazy.

Speaker 5 (16:05):
There's a lot of incentives, there's a lot of fees.
But what I did learn is that if you look
at like the monthly specials, that can help you out
a lot, especially from a lease standpoint.

Speaker 4 (16:17):
Interesting.

Speaker 5 (16:18):
So that's my uh, that's my word of the day.

Speaker 4 (16:22):
While you've been looking for a car, if you've been
like on all the different websites and everything, and then
you get a ton of text messages, emails, phone calls.

Speaker 5 (16:29):
And I was I was like stressing out because when
I got home from obviously Florida, I didn't have another car.
So like, while Mara is still down there, it's great,
I just drive the car she has. And I was like,
I'm gonna have to find one in like a day
or else I'm in trouble. So that's part of how
I used my fifteen hour journey. But yeah, shout out

(16:50):
to them and how to.

Speaker 11 (16:51):
Rank them on annoying personalized license plates electric cars that
say something about gas mileage that say the make and
model of the car right underneath where the car tells
you what the make and model is, or cars that
look fast and say something about speed or zoom.

Speaker 5 (17:10):
Yeah, I hate the speed stuff.

Speaker 4 (17:12):
I was gonna start that. I would like rank that
number one, okay, the mileage number two, and then the
make and model number three.

Speaker 5 (17:22):
Yeah, I'll just I'll swap one in three. But I'm
not a big personalized plate guy anyway.

Speaker 4 (17:27):
I'm not either. Those things are expensive too.

Speaker 5 (17:30):
My brother has a personalized plate, which is pretty cool.
His name is doug so you go like Dougie Fresh
and his license plate is like f R R E
s H like fresh lame butt.

Speaker 4 (17:42):
Like speaking of them the mallwalking Grandpa, they should get
together and do like a talkback mall walk and they
all leave talkbacks on their walk of them all.

Speaker 5 (17:53):
I like that.

Speaker 4 (17:55):
Maybe Mason and Moon could get that together since they
don't clearly ever work.

Speaker 15 (18:01):
Tony Austin, it's ballin ain't easy.

Speaker 5 (18:04):
Hey, I was over by the.

Speaker 15 (18:05):
Practice field today thought about coming to say what's up
to Tony, but I didn't have my VIP access badge.
I'm sure there's lots of gates and the security to
get through. But I was delivering over there and I
got to see Jamar and t walk by, Logan Wilson,
Ted Harris. It's pretty cool. That's first time I've been
down there for that.

Speaker 5 (18:23):
If you haven't been down here, it's a cool experience.

Speaker 4 (18:26):
Ball and I have unloaded many a FedEx truck at
the security gate at Paul Brown Stadium, and those dudes
are like, whoever the guy is that does the FedEx
for like the Bengals deliveries. He's like a celebrity down there.
He's a big time guy.

Speaker 17 (18:42):
It's like Cheers, Happy Thursday, guys, Tony and Moe. We're
talking this morning that they would be comfortable to trade
Jake Brownie for like a fifth or sixth rounder. Have
you seen his girlfriend's Instagram post? We want to keep
that man in Cincinnati, have a great day.

Speaker 4 (19:00):
How does that affect the football team?

Speaker 5 (19:01):
Man, I don't face my decisions and hopefully the Bengals
don't either on Instagram?

Speaker 4 (19:08):
Can any of you just be Can you just be
normal for a minute, Like the guy's wife has nothing
to do with anything. I'm happy for Jake man. That
was our last one.

Speaker 5 (19:18):
Very good by the way, Jake Browning immediately made me
think of Brian Callahan. That made me think of the
Tennessee Titans. Did you see the question that the board
got yesterday of like, hey, what did you think of
Will Lewies? Like, I don't worry about him. I worry
about cam Ward.

Speaker 4 (19:32):
Oh no, I didn't see that. Yes, that's awesome.

Speaker 5 (19:35):
That's like, hey, what are your thoughts on will Levice?
He's like, I don't have any thoughts because I only
worry about cam Ward.

Speaker 4 (19:41):
Okay, I dislike it at the same time.

Speaker 5 (19:44):
And what about the Tennessee Titans front office? When I asked, yes,
the team that's taking the field has a shot to
win the Super Bowl, they looked shocked. They looked absolutely
terrified on that question and gave like the most political
answer as possible.

Speaker 4 (19:59):
There were like three three or four answers from that
press press conference that were made you kind of hold
your breath for a minute, including one I think there
a player of personnel guy was like staring a reporter
down while he was like, well, the other guy was
answering the question. Yeah, it's weird, all right, We're done,

(20:21):
all right. I don't think anybody's gonna beat Ozzie No.

Speaker 5 (20:25):
That's tough man. That's a uh, and that's a very
relevant talk back as well. We gotta take a break,
come back. We got to get an injury report here
in the the end of the hour, we got to
update our poll question and then we will open up
