We're talking about Cincy shirts. Has the Speedway Bristol collection
coming up? I just saw here that your buddy Brad
Keselowski will be ceremonial first pitch tonight at GABP.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Is he really?
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Yeah? Now, you guys used to be tight back in
the day. If I'm not mistaken, Yeah, so I know
that so Keaz hasn't since.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
I didn't let me know I once caught his first pitch.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
He hasn't given you a call.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Or Now this was back when the Speedway was still
you know, up and running in Kentucky in Kentucky and
they were coming into Rubbins Racing. Yeah. I caught his
first pitch last time he was in town.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
How did you end up being the guy that caught
his ceremonial first pitch? Uh?
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Probably no one else that would do it, sure, And
Uh I knew him from that the circle that I
would hang around with at times in Charlotte when I
was living down there.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Who were some of the names in that circle?
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Well, Dale Arhard Junior, Brad Keselowski me was pretty much
the and I wouldn't put myself on their category. Dale's
got a lot of buddies that you would find that
like uh Augies. You know, August has like a Budman.
They'd have like a Sonny Chip. Those type of guys
(01:53):
would be in the circle. Just one name guys, all right, Sonny.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
You know Dale Junior has become one of my favorite
people in this business. Yeah, his podcast is awesome. You
don't have to be a NASCAR fan.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
So like all the content he does, like he is legit.

but he loves loves the game of football. Man used
to be hanging out with them boys. I wonder you
(02:27):

Thanks for the thinking of me hearing when you're in town.
Unbelievable are fall from the top?
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Man?
Speaker 5 (02:36):
Hello, this is former President Ronald read Well. The Reds
are trying their best to bring about a new talkback election.
If they can just hold on and stay semi relevant
for the next two weeks and get us to Bengals
training camp. That would be great. However, I feel that
the next couple of weeks are going to go by
(02:57):
about as fast as a Jose Travino curveball.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Man. It's an impressive card ball last I sure hope not.
I sure hope not, Hey, Greg Sharonville.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Last night's box score, Jose Trevino our backup catcher at
two eighty three, the highest of anybody that played last night,
and also is e r A at three point eighty
six lower than anybody that pitched last night. This team
(03:30):
is an embarrassment.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
He should be in the All Star Game.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
I mean, I mean clearly, when you think of guys
that can do both, you think of and then you.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Think Babe, Ruth Shoo, Tani, Jose Travine.
Speaker 6 (03:43):
It's the Lord, your savior in the sky. Start bench,
cut Tony mastering the English language, the Red dumpster Fire
of a Season, or the Bang Drama with Trey Hendrickson
and Shamar Stewart.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
I'll start the Reds right now. I'll bench my English
language talking, Okay, I'll cut the Bengals. That's gonna get
figured out. I'll start Tony mastering the English language. At
some point it has to happen. I'm gonna cut the
I'm gonna bench Trey Hendrickson Shamar Stewart drama, and I'm
gonna cut the Reds dumpster fure keep waiting.
Speaker 7 (04:24):
Chase should be number one, Number two should be Burrow
and Higgins.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
What what was this for?
Speaker 8 (04:34):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (04:35):
I think this this must have been in response to
Clinton Yates. They were doing the top ten or the
top five quarterback wide receiver duos in the NFL. Oh,
and our guy here was trying to say that Burrow
and Chase is one, Burrow and Higgins is two. Gotcha?
Which I believe Clinton had Jared Goff and Amen Ross
Saint Brown as number one and Burrow and Chase as
(04:59):
numberumber two. Thoughts, I think Berlin Chase would be the
top spot. I just saw there was a dude. I
there was a guy on NFL network today. He plays
in the league, somebody, I forget who it was, but
he had the top wide receiver duos in the NFL.
As I'm and Ross Saint Brown and Jamis and Williams
number one, Chase and Higgins number two. Everyone's got to
(05:22):
try to make a name for themselves. Beware if you're
listening to this. It is ranking season. Ah, these next
two weeks, when people are gone and the cupboard is
bear and there's no baseball, it is ranking season.
Speaker 8 (05:38):
Rank them, Tony and Austin kin from the left year
on my way up to Cincy for the game tonight
with my daughter, who just wanted to send out an
invitation if any talkbackers are going to be there, I'll
be in section one thirty four if you want to.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Come by, and hey, can't hide money.
Speaker 8 (05:59):
Miss I'll be wearing red and I'll be holding a
transition to radio updutching my ears so you hear the game, go.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Read can you're the man that was fantastic?
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Every once in a while I'll bring the radio they
gave away at the Marty game. Yeah, because yeah, man,
that's just the best. You listen to the game like that.
I mean, that's that's why I use it radio almost
every day. Ken Radley misses on talkbacks anymore.
Speaker 9 (06:23):
The Cincinnati Reds performance last night, or lack thereof, was disgusting, Absolute.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Disgusting, pure filth.
Speaker 9 (06:38):
Austin, please rank for me right them top five most
disgusting sporting events you've ever witnessed and please rank them
worst to.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Last, worst to last. The first one that comes to
mind was I was at the Brandon Stokely Hip game,
a season opener two thousand and nine. I think the
Bengals lost like twelve to Sevenikes. That's the biggest gut
punch I think I've ever been to. I have to
(07:12):
try to think of some other ones.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Did you drank that worst to last?
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I was at Ohio Stadium when Ohio State beat Cincinnati
forty two to nothing. That was a gut punch. Felt
bad for the Bearcats.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Worst to last?
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Felt bad for the Bearcat Careful, Hey.
Speaker 10 (07:29):
My main many?
Speaker 11 (07:31):
What its Ice?
Speaker 2 (07:32):
What man?
Speaker 12 (07:33):
Okay?
Speaker 10 (07:34):
Gotta question for with all this so called talent, the
Red tab Houston Ashrews had a whole bunch of talent,
young talent. They won the World Series. Other teams had
had a whole bunch of young talent and won the
World Series. Why can't the Reds develop young talent? And
when the freaking World Series? What is going on here?
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Boys?
Speaker 12 (07:55):
This is frustrating watching this team.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Got the iceman is all of us. We think we
can all agree with the Ice.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
There's a frustration setting in with the iceman.
Speaker 13 (08:06):
Haven't heard from Mark for a minute. Yeah, flowers are welting.
W A L l O p e ed Hodgepodge. One
man's junk is another man. Jerry Perez always like fran
COONa from a distance.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Gosh, I don't know.
Speaker 13 (08:26):
I thought this team would have more structure. They seem
kind of lifeless.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Last. Can they do one of those uh team like
team players only meetings again? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (08:38):
That worked last, like a team bonding exercise where they
go somewhere maybe West Miller taking go do some dodgeball
up guys, big cahoony off cahoune back.
Speaker 11 (08:48):
Last night, you know the Marlins, I think three maybe
four times they had a sacrifice fly to the outfield that.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Got to run in the ritches.
Speaker 11 (08:55):
Ain't doing that. And I tell you what, loud talkback guy,
I don't think he was on her yet.
Speaker 7 (09:00):
To it.
Speaker 11 (09:00):
Man, he has such an unbelievable voice. He's my favorite talkbacker.
I'd like I would give us some years off my
life to have his voice. He's got a true Cincinnati voice.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
I don't know if I know what that means. Do
we have an accent? I don't know what that is.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
A very good Wednesday gentlemen.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Yes, I just have one question.
Speaker 14 (09:22):
How many other cities are like our city. We're halfway
through the season of one sport you're anticipating in the
beginning of the next sport that might be in here
in the town. It's really unfortunately we haven't got a
pro basketball team. We could really fill in some voice.
You guys have a good one about.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Dealing all right.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
I mean they've been talking about the Broncos in Denver
since April.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Yeah, so I said, it's not that different elsewhere.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Yeah, there's a few cities.
Speaker 12 (09:56):
Austin to to hear you, guys, sad Stoke Rabbit though
highlight of the day.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Hey, there are going to make a.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
Run in September.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Take us set from the Cubs and the Cars. Red
One announced twenty twenty six bobble headline up and Hunter Green.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Will be healthy next season.
Speaker 12 (10:12):
We'll be right back to Willie Towns on the Red,
Fight like the Patriots, elected in the Concord, and battle
like you GiMA.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Red's on repeat.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Also, you guys must be too young for sein call references.
Speaker 12 (10:22):
Speaking of young, Happy eighteenth birthday to my son Track
you make your dad proud.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Wow, Happy birthday. Eighteen, He's officially a man. Happy birthday.
He's got to grow into his skull. Now, which is it?
Do you think Tito got his black Reds T shirt
from Stephen Berries or Walmart?
Speaker 14 (10:44):
I think it's hideous.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
Do you think you can get something better to wear
during the game?
Speaker 2 (10:47):
That's this is this point of the season with we've
reached yep.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
This is what happens when you don't win enough ball games.
Ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Start making you're wearing.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
This is not where you want to be.
Speaker 14 (10:59):
Your fans show up to a polo match of Wimbledon
wearing a Steelers jersey.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
You can't get rid of those fools. Sick sick sick people. Now,
is there a dress code for the parishioners at Wimbledon
like there is for.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
The I don't see many jerseys at Wimbledon.
Speaker 8 (11:15):
Man, I'll tell you this, Cincinnati Reds Ball Club, it's
just you know what, forget it.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
How do you guys like your eggs?
Speaker 6 (11:21):
I'm an over easy guy. Sausage patties, not linxchy, toast
and butter. Nothing better than that, nothing better and nothing
better than breakfast for dinner. Wrong and beat that, you guys,
like waffle House, I hob cracker, barrel whatever, wa top
of the list. Get your food and your entertainment at
(11:42):
the same time.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Great question, great lead in waffle House one thousand percent, respectfully.
I am anti breakfast for dinner. I love breakfast for dinner.
But the only way my eggs are going to scrambled.
Of course, that's sausage. Least surprising news that you put
ketchup on your scrambled eggs. Josh, Okay, sausage links, sausage links.
But but, but they've got to be Bob Evans. I
(12:09):
will not eat any of that other crap. It's better
be a Bob Evans sausage link, and I can tell
the difference.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Well are you are you flying on vacation next week? No? No,
Well you should go. I'm serious about this. Try the
Skyline breakfast with their sausage, their breakfast sausage. It's fantastic.
You would like it.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Hey, guys, how you doing? What do you answer your
Drey Henderson question? Okay, Jay did a thing at the
sacks that he had? He only had one sack on
third down or better as far as a passing situation,
one sack.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Yeah, yep, We've talked about some of the sacks numbers
and how they could have been skewed a little bit
based on the competition.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
He's a pretty good player at times, an elite player.
He is not a empty the bank account for the
next three years player. You pay people for what they
will do, not what they have done.
Speaker 15 (13:17):
Wimble Toony, jeorts Man, Wimbletony, you know, I'm less concerned
by the reds losing streak than I am by how
they're losing. They look like they couldn't hit a baseball
with a mask from Captain Keto. The magnificence boat starting pitching,
death and quality is run out.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Doesn't look like they're going to hang on for the
rest of the season.
Speaker 15 (13:36):
And guys, let's not get two worked up by ranking systems.
Trey Hendrickson. We know what he is, we know how
good he is. Same with the MLS rankings. FC Cincinnati
should be at the top, but they're not.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Who cares. Let's move on.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Okay, you know that quote you used there before that
talk back Austin, What was it again about what you
may have to do or what you don't do.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
You pay people for what they will do, not what
they have done. It was a good family friend of
ours who's a policeman. Was a policeman.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
He's retired now, okay, but we always used to kind
of give him grief back and forth because we'd see
him at you know, events, and you know, we'd see
him doing some different stuff and it didn't look like
the most taxing things. I'd say, what did they even
pay you to do? And his response was always, they
don't pay me for what I do. They pay me
for what I may have to do.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
It's true. And I was like, you're right, Yeah, there
you go quite a way to look at life. There
you go, do me a favor.
Speaker 12 (14:33):
No more God talkbacks.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Don't let them on.
Speaker 12 (14:37):
It's disrespectful, it's an abomination. It's sinful. Tony.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
I know you're a Christian.
Speaker 12 (14:44):
You should not listen to that blasphemer, false prophet. Tony
stand up for once, make melt proud or whatever her
name is.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Jesus feats. Yeah, I'll cut God.
Speaker 7 (15:03):
I under staying that guy don't here all the time.
If he sounds like that in real.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Life, I'll take a pass.
Speaker 7 (15:11):
I'll start Austin and Bristol meanie shorts painted chest backwards,
flat Bill and I'll bench multi personality Mike and that
one guy who always hits the high at the end
of his talkbacks.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Okay, it's a good one. Okay, it's not bad.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Yeah, we're getting less season.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
I love it. That was like a start bench cut
of things, you know, just shows his own whatever.
Speaker 14 (15:41):
Rand the Brandon Stokely tip game as well.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Hey Austin, that.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Game was awful.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
But do you remember what was the following week?
Speaker 6 (15:59):
I was the.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Bengals beat the Packers lambeau Field, so it kind of
offset what happened week one. Yeah, that was Antoine Odam
had five sacks in that game. And that was you know,
Iron Eagles coming out party when he said Antoine Odam
is not human. Yeah, Bengals smoked the Packers at the
(16:23):
Roger and Virginia sub Roger. You know, I'm traveling to
Boston with my wife for a quick trip.
Speaker 14 (16:29):
I'll be heading to a Boston Red Sox Tampa Bay
Rays game wearing my red skar.
Speaker 6 (16:33):
I know that was a point of contention.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Last week on the show for Tony not me in
Boston while the team is not playing good. Roger as
you should, it's right for you to wear your team
at those games.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Chime in on the skyline breakfast sausage you just mentioned,
you are right on point.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Yes, I had one the other day. It was delicious,
that did sauce. Yep, he gets it, he knows.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Man. I just got a tweet too. I would have
never guessed. Will tweeted and said that there's no dress
code at Wimbledon.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Interesting.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
I would have thought the way that they're buttoned up
over there, you'd had to have like suit and tie. Yeah,
because I I he said his brother camped down and
sat court side for a serena match wearing a tank
top and straw fishing fishing hat.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Now I don't see I'm watching that. It's on on
the TV in here. I don't I see shirts and ties.
I see suits. I don't see any tank tops or
straw hats.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
Now.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
The other thing, too, is if you if you compete,
you have to wear all white? Yeah? If do you
have to wear all white if you're on their like
coaching status, because I see a lot of those people
wearing all white as well.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
I don't see any tank tops right now.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
All right, it was biblically hot there for a while. Dude,
how are we losing. Listen to a Triple A team.
Get it together.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
I'm sick of this team. It's been embarrassing. Get it together.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
At least the Warblers are there, and that sounded fantastic.
They're not. The Marlins are not a Triple A team.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
No, they've they've played really good baseball as of late. Right,
they were terrible to start the season. They dug themselves
a brutal hole, but they have been much better lately.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Yeah. I mean, they have an All Star in Kyle
Stowers who's got sixteen homers and forty eight RBI. They
have a great leadoff hitter in Xavier Edwards, who's one
of the fastest hitters in baseball. He's hitting almost three hundred,
has almost one hundred hits already this season.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Yeah, they were atrocious in April, they were bad in May,
they were great in June, and they've been good in July.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Their young catcher, Augustine Ramirez, he's terrible like behind the plate,
but offensive, No, because you gotta get runners on to
test them. But he's a monster. So, I mean, they're
they's far from being a contender, but they're not a
Triple eighteen in any stretch. And I'm not even trying
to make excuses for the Reds. Yeah, all right, that
(19:03):
was it.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Speaking of makeing excuses, did you see that the baseball game?
I think it was a double air triple a game
last night where the pitcher got called for a ball.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
While the lightning the lightning straw? Did see that. That's
a bad way to get called for a ball. That
would Uh, there's gotta be a rule about that. Yeah,
not a huge fan.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Hey do we have tickets to give away?
Speaker 2 (19:23):
We do?
Speaker 3 (19:23):
You bet your bottom dollar we do? Going a question?
Speaker 2 (19:27):
I do? Five one, three, seven, nine, fifteen thirty. Speaking
of that, did you see that League Baseball is going
to use the automated ball Strike Challenge system in the
All Star Game next week? I didn't see that. How
about that? Huh about that? That's kind of exciting. I
like this five one, three, seven, four, nine, fifteen to thirty.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Five three?
Speaker 2 (19:50):
I never know what.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Station fifteen thirty. It's upper deck at the ballpar.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Per deck golf, And it's not just hitting a few
shots off the field. No, no, no, you're playing nine holes at
Great American Ballpark and you've got a chance to win tickets.
It's coming up July seventeenth through the nineteenth and if
you can correctly answer a Reds related trivia question, you
(20:15):
could win tickets to go see that's to go play
those holes, those nine holes at the ballpark per deck golf.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
You can't just answer the question. You got to answer correctly. Yeah,
come out. You have to answer correctly five, one, three,
it's correct, seven nine, fifteen thirty. That and so much
more still to go on ESPN fifteen thirty, Cincinnati Sports Station.
