Speaker 2 (00:23):
All right, welcome back our number three, thanks to Penn Station.
Thank you for listening on ESPN fifteen thirty. Our guys
at the Reds Community Fund Austin are so dedicated to
wanting to talk to us and fans of the show
that they're going to wait around till after talkbacks to
join us.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Wow, that is impressive.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
I told them, Okay, we'll get right into talkbacks because
we got a talkback since he church gift card to
give away on Friday, and we'll do that and then
we'll bring the guys in.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
It's that time for turnus.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Press the microphone, hand record your message for us, stand
in tone, please keep it clean and don't be mean,
and a sprinkle, sprinkled, drip drip. It's that time for talkbacks.
It's our favorite part of Sancy three sixties Austin buddy
(01:09):
played that talkback on your screen him, please try not
too Saba Taja, So.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
Guys, Big Kahunay in Kentucky. Watched some vintage college football
over the weekend. Came across ninety four Texas A and M.
Yeah they was good with Leland Michael Roy ten oh
and one, but couldn't make playing a bowl game. But
you know what I'm tired of as the coach. R C.
Slockem I'm tired of him being crowned great. He was
thirty four and six during the time of the Southwest Conference,
but when they moved to the Big twelve, he was
thirty four and twenty two at conference play. Won one
(01:35):
conference fight on ninety eight because Kansas State choked. That
was a great team with Michael Bishop. But r CI slopin,
You're not great. You are not great.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Not every thought has to be turned into a talkback man.
Speaker 6 (01:48):
Oh yes, this is mister Richard Hutz of the law
firm Mayso and Moon. We've been informed that a mister
Jeff from Virginia may have been disqualified from winning a
T shirt last week in the talkback competition due to
a mia slip of the tongue on.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
A lyric interpretation.
Speaker 6 (02:07):
We will be instigating an action mister Jeff from Virginia
versus Tony Pike in the English language.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Man Josh, mister Richard Hurts.
Speaker 6 (02:20):
And we will be seeking all appropriate compensation up to
and including a T shirt voucher from Cincy Shots.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Thank you, thank you, mister Richard.
Speaker 7 (02:32):
I'm sorry for the background noise, AC and my car's running.
You know, most people in since.
Speaker 8 (02:37):
I were like, Oh it's too hot or oh it's
too cold.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
You know, I say please move anyway.
Speaker 7 (02:45):
I think I'm turned into Dick from Dayton or something
that maybe I'll get a banjo off marketplace or something. Hey,
why do the Rats always win the first game and
then lose the last two, or lose the first two
games of a game three game series and win the last.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
That sounds like a question for Terry Frank Colin. Him
and Dick and Dayton are probably a little bit more
similar than I originally thought.
Speaker 9 (03:07):
So, Slick Will's the last acts acting president was.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
To might make to act and talk about the president.
Whether I don't know.
Speaker 7 (03:16):
Too much about running tangs out of ju Secretary of
Transportation or something that other I ain't got no gangs.
Speaker 9 (03:22):
So my last act is I'm going to resign and
sends it on to Ken the congressman.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
I think you guys will be in great take care. God.
People are awfully afraid of responsibilities and power. Austin's such
a hard worker filling for their people. We have part
time Pike. Maybe we need to overtime ilmore. No tax
on overtime now, right, no tax, big beautiful stuff. I'd
have to use that to my advantage. Yeah, I wish
(03:50):
some of those uh Mexican hold on, let me read. Yeah,
we're just gonna move on.
Speaker 10 (04:00):
I'd be Mondy Fellows Steve and West West Junior. I
gotta wonder why you guys keep sticking all those venues
right bend the River with all the crime and all
that going on. It's like walking through the DMZ because
you don't have enough parking secured park So I gotta say,
I'm never ever ever going to that those venues because
(04:26):
of the Kronker.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Okay, Steve, first of all, I think you're on the
wrong station. Second of all, you're one of those people
that's afraid to go downtown, and that's becoming a big
thing now. I'm downtown all the time. Like, sure, there
are times when you're like, maybe time to get out
of here. But I'm telling you it's not nearly as safe,
(04:48):
not nearly as unsafe as it's portrayed to be. I'll
just leave it at that. The people that are terrified
of going downtown and tell people how awful it is
all the time, don't spend any time down.
Speaker 9 (05:02):
Hey, it's vice president of Baseball Operations and assistant general
manager of the first place Toronto Blue Jays, David Bell,
just calling in to check on Cincinnati, see how things
are doing, and let them know that when I can
actually make my own decisions, success is sure to follow.
And let me leave the Reds with the little advice
(05:23):
move Ellie to center field. It's where he belongs. Okay,
that's worth three to four more wins on your season
versus three losses.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Now, I will say Ellie rebounded with a very good
month of June. He did defensively, him and Pete Crow
armstrong league leaders and out's above average.
Speaker 11 (05:40):
Hey, guys, top BAC matters. Guy, I hope you had
a wonderful fourth of July. Safe one and well, there's
a couple of things probably people are gonna hate on me. Sorry,
I'm the win I met Luncan. I think we give
Ellie a lot of passes. I mean, I know he's young,
but I still think we were given too many passes.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
And then the next thing is freedom should make it.
Speaker 11 (06:04):
And I think that habit we'll still get put in
for All Star.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Get what are some of the passes that we get?
I would like to know. I think the money when
we're pretty hard on Ellie. Yeah, TP fifteen. I actually
got berated online because I was too hard.
Speaker 12 (06:20):
On Elli TP fifteen from the Uday Fellas Tony super jealous.
You're hitting Siesta Key. You got to hit that, Captain
Kurtz get that clam chowder.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
My Lord must know me.
Speaker 12 (06:35):
Also autoin quick question about regarding the state of Maine.
I know you like to visit up there, and my
better half said, of the other day, why don't we
ever visit a different state, maybe like Maine? So looking
for some options, what city to hit? All that stuff?
So get any options?
Speaker 8 (06:50):
Let me know, thanks.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Maine is the most beautiful state in the continental United States,
and it's not particularly close. I've visited Portland and the
surrounding areas. I loved it. I know somebody was just
up in a Kadia National Park. One of our producers
here was up there. They loved it. I know my
family has gone to Kinnebunkport, Maine quite frequently. They love that.
(07:11):
It's beautiful. That's where the Bushes, George w George H.
W All them had their residences in their summer homes. Uh,
you can't go wrong anywhere up in Maine. And then
the actually the background on my phone right now is
the Portland headlight, which was the most beautiful thing I've
ever seen in my in my life. You must not
know me very well if you think I'm getting that claim.
(07:32):
Chat Tony wouldn't touch it. If it's not like just
basic meat and cheese, Tony doesn't want it.
Speaker 8 (07:38):
Autie, I had had a great July for the weekend
the Reds.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Yesterday you had a typic Cat to the pitcher. He
was awesome.
Speaker 8 (07:50):
Saturday should have played better.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
I agree, SA was always his office is just not
consistent enough.
Speaker 13 (07:57):
And by the way, Tony the legend no Eggar.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Was on my show.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Wow, that might be the last domino to fall if Moles,
if Mo's holdout is over, mine might have to end
as well.
Speaker 8 (08:13):
Hey, guys, how you doing. It's been a while and
I'm not doing a Bengal call today. I want to
play this start bench cut thing, all right, hit me,
and I'm gonna do it with three sports that I
don't care about, but an icon from each sport I
believe anyway, okay, uh Novak Djakovic, Yes, Lionel Messi, Caitlyn Clark,
(08:35):
start bench cut.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Wow, you guys are great. You're great, Brooklyn Bengal fan.
Thank you. I will start the joker. I'm a big
tennis fan.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
I will bench Clark and I will cut Messy because
he plays for Inner Miami and he's an enemy.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
I'm starting Messy benching Caitlin Clark cutting Novak joking joke.
For the first time, he seemed likable this weekend when
he's doing that dance thing with his daughter. Yeah, that
was the first time I found Novak Djokovic to be
a likable athletes change people.
Speaker 14 (09:06):
Still repping my city out here in sunny hot and
on up to what our body man.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
At least we did get swept. I smelled the hell.
Speaker 14 (09:13):
Coming a mile away about a fifth innute. They couldn't
figure the guy out. I mean WILLI was Dylan. You
gotta give it to him. Do you have to tip
the kapof tailor? Just finished strong and win the series
at home. That's the only thing that matters. Give it
up to FC Cincinnati. These boys is running the East.
The Beast is in the East and it's orange and blue.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Lucho.
Speaker 14 (09:32):
Who man, I don't even know what you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Evan is a real deal. How about that period you
see it's an orange out at TQL Stadium this weekend. Yep,
Hey guys, hope you had a great holiday weekend.
Speaker 14 (09:44):
Wow.
Speaker 15 (09:45):
Watching the Reds Philly series over the weekend got me
to thinking about the most insufferable fan bases in sports.
For obvious reasons, Philly fans were booing when the Reds
were leading on Friday. Of course ended up winning the
next two game games and they're in first place, so
they're a great team. But they still somehow boo and
show little appreciation. So my top three most insufferable fan
(10:10):
bases in sports, and i'll go blast the city here.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Start with Cleveland.
Speaker 15 (10:14):
They're the lowest on the best ranking list for me,
just because they've seen the least amount of success, Calves, Guardians,
and of course the Browns. Philadelphia is number two or
maybe one. B. They just bow way too much. They
don't appreciate anything. They just won the Super Bowl last year.
(10:34):
And finally New York. Easy choice for me. Those fans
are the most insufferable. And this goes for every single sport.
I hate New York fans.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Honestly, I might put Ohio State on my list because
there's a lot of Ohio State fans that I think
are insufferable good to The first one that comes to
mind is Dallas. Any sort of Cowboys fan is usually
one of the worst people I've met. I actually love Philadeli.
I love their fans, kind of going back to the
whole hold hold people accountable, hold teams to a standard.
(11:07):
They were booing Austin Hayes and the dude tried to
play through a kidney infection for them. Yeah, they didn't
play well enough, so they boot him. Bad luck. I
love that about Philadelphia. Is there another team that really
despise Ohio State? Okay, would you like to like contribute
it to any of the questions that you asked her?
Speaker 2 (11:29):
I think I do think they're insufferable now I'm a
I'm a Kentucky basketball fan. I think Kentucky basketball is insufferable.
I think that fan base is toxic. H but I
think it's toxic at every level. I mean I I
literally I had a chance a couple of weeks, a
week or so ago. I talked to Marcus Freeman, who
just went to the National title, and there's already pressure
on him not doing enough or what have they done
(11:50):
in the portal. Talked about it with Ohio State. They
won the national title, and all the question is, now,
what are you doing this year? I mean, it is,
it is relentless, but I guess sometimes that's what it
takes to.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
At the top. I think I would say Ohio State, Michigan,
and the Dallas Cowboys probably my three least favorite. That's
fair quick honorable mention, Lee, hurry it up?
Speaker 15 (12:10):
Yet the Pittsburgh and this is mostly for the STEELERSOW
I know, Cincinnati.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
I'm supposed to hate Pittsburgh, and I do.
Speaker 15 (12:19):
There's nothing more in sports than I hate than the
Pittsburgh Steelers. But it's the team, it's not the fan base.
I think they're actually a pretty decent fan base, very loyal,
and they don't bother me as much themselves. It's the team,
it's the dirty style of play over the years, and
it's them owning us.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Okay, so honorable mentioned Pittsburgh.
Speaker 8 (12:38):
Fair.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
I mean, I don't know anybody that actually likes Pittsburgh.
Speaker 16 (12:43):
No, good afternoon. I heard Warblers werblin. Yuh there, man,
I'd be remissful if I didn't tell La Mike that
the Astro swept his Dodgers speaking in la at let
him know Kershaw making it over Abbott. That should be
(13:04):
a fourth degree misdemeanor. Bengals, maybe you can still sign
a guard.
Speaker 7 (13:12):
I think the passes with Elie daily careers are the
ball's going in the center field.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Huh.
Speaker 7 (13:21):
Actually the ball's going ten feet over the first baseman's head.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
No, I'll tell you that you guys got to get
a little bit more consistent throwing the ball to first base.
That that is a fair criticism.
Speaker 13 (13:33):
Congressman Ken from the Commonwealth of Keenentucky. Here, in the
immortal words of Linda Baines Johnson, I shall not seek
nor will I accept your nomination as president of Talkbacks.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Thanks Kevin, but no thanks gosh, who man, he's an
Animalrie he don't even know what's going on today. Yeah,
he immediately goes to Camp David as soon as it's
appointed president. Man, all right, that was our last one.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
All right, So now when we come back, we actually
will talk to Charlie Frank. Maybe hopefully he's outside right now. Okay,
he's right outside the studio. They told me before that
segment started that when noon comes around, they make sure
that they're listening to Cincy three to sixty every day.
Love that they are very complimentary conversation. That the show
(14:24):
is played in the bowels of Great American Ballpark. That's right, Tito,
the magnificence probably listening right now, getting ready for us
to talk to Charlie Frank. He's joined Michael andersoners here
as well. We'll talk about a big night ahead tomorrow
night for the redgch Community Fund. Next on ESPN fifteen
