Speaker 1 (00:00):
I'm on ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports station.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
All right now, let me hear you good loud, oh world,
oh too ah free, Let's listen to.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
Some talk backs. Let's listen to the clouds. Get me
a budgeant Suprad come on here. We hope those other
two diver come back over its root were totally dolphing

(00:41):
comes close to the show. We got hack right, helloo
stars over.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
Talk back show?

Speaker 4 (00:54):
Right well?

Speaker 3 (00:56):
Right's well?

Speaker 4 (01:00):
Reds won last night. They beat Ranger Suarez, which is
a hard thing to do. One because he had an
ERA of under three and second because he's a left
handed pitcher, and those two things don't bode well for
the Cincinnati Reds. But it looks like enough to get
to win.

Speaker 5 (01:14):
It looked like Terry Francona slipped the home played umpire
a fifty spot before the game.

Speaker 4 (01:19):
There were some uh he didn't. There were some favorable
calls that I'm not going to be mad about. Those things.
You know, they balance each other out during the season. Yeah,
but uh, right now, we've got talkbacks. Those are a
service of Cincy shirts and uh if uh, if you
paid attention at all, you know train's going to be
performing at the ballpark tonight Austin. Yeah, Monday night, Snoop

(01:42):
Dogg performed at the ballpark. He performed in an Illida
Cruz basketball jersey that he got at Cinci Shirts. You
can find that at Sinti Shirts as well.

Speaker 6 (01:55):
I guess we'll get started now for your.

Speaker 7 (01:58):
Talkbacks Fantasy football. Oh, I got my draft night coming
up here in a couple of weeks. I would like
to know what your number one picks would be for quarterback,
running back, and wide receiver.

Speaker 5 (02:19):
My running back would be sau Barkley. A wide receiver
would be Jamar Chase.

Speaker 8 (02:24):
My quarterback, or maybe Jalen Hurt. I don't know.

Speaker 5 (02:30):
I would I would probably lean a little bit towards
Jalen Hurts, just because if you were able to double
up on Hurts and Barkley, you'd be all right.

Speaker 8 (02:42):
Ken on Barkley being healthy for another year.

Speaker 5 (02:44):
I'm fascinated by Jaden Daniels. I don't know if that's
going to work out.

Speaker 8 (02:49):
Yeah, I guess I don't.

Speaker 4 (02:53):
I'm trying to here to a Jayden Daniels. I just
I have a little trepidation.

Speaker 5 (02:58):
Yeah, I'm trying not to like overthink it and be
a homer and say Burrow and Chase and Barkley. But
that might actually be the best way to go. I
think Baker Mayfield Trevor Lawrence is gonna have big ears, but.

Speaker 6 (03:10):
That wouldn't much help Montgomery.

Speaker 9 (03:12):
As president of the Tyson Anderson Fan Club, I feel
obliged to mention that Tyson Anderson has never looked bad
to me on the field ever, Not in practice, not
during the limited game action he's had. He had a
seventy seven PFF grade in that game with an eighty
seven borderline elite tackle grade. Guys, think about it. This
team had Chase Brown backing up Zack Moss until Zack

(03:35):
Moss was injured. They got to give this kid a chance.

Speaker 6 (03:41):
Okay, we'll go out and earn it.

Speaker 8 (03:42):
Then argue, yeah, you go get it, go get it, come.

Speaker 10 (03:45):
Dark bench cut. Would you rather do a fantasy football
draft online with all your buddies. Would you rather get
all your buddies together and do a destination fantasy football
draft where you rent a house have the draft party
for the weekend, or would you rather do the gambling
website weekly fantasy football drafts where you have a new

(04:07):
team every week and are you guys gonna do a
fantasy football show or segment for all us to generate
gamblers throw us a bone.

Speaker 4 (04:16):
We normally tie in a fantasy aspect during the season.

Speaker 6 (04:19):
I have a love hate relationship with.

Speaker 8 (04:20):
Fantasy I am.

Speaker 4 (04:22):
I like the old school nature of what fantasy football is,
but over the last couple of years, I do enjoy
the dynamic of the weekly fantasy football.

Speaker 8 (04:31):
Yeah. We have a league where.

Speaker 4 (04:33):
You throw up like fifty or a hundred bucks at
the start of the year on like a DraftKings or something,
and then every week you draft a new team and essentially,
if you win one of the seventeen or whatever weeks,
you get your money back and can make some money
after that. But it does protect you if you take
somebody high and they end up getting hurt, which I
know is part of fantasy, but.

Speaker 5 (04:51):
Still, I've never done a live in person fantasy draft,
and I don't know that I want to. I like
being the commissioner and setting the clock at thirty seconds
and everybody goes from there and getting it done.

Speaker 6 (05:06):
Yeah, but that's just me.

Speaker 5 (05:07):
I'm a bit of a commergion curmudgeon when it comes
to fantasy.

Speaker 11 (05:11):
Hello, this is the common former president Ronald Riggan, and well,
if our offense has the three and out blues against
our porous defense, well it's gonna be a long, long year.

Speaker 12 (05:28):
So the og talkback entered song says, please keep it
clean and don't be mean.

Speaker 7 (05:34):
It seems like some talkbackers fall into category of participats
in class but doesn't follow instructions.

Speaker 11 (05:42):
Come on, y'all.

Speaker 12 (05:43):
Line is too short for toxic people and to be
toxic to each other.

Speaker 8 (05:47):
All right, den, all right, all right, I like no
toxicity here.

Speaker 6 (05:52):
We don't need to be me Jurney aartie, what up?

Speaker 8 (05:54):
It's ice?

Speaker 13 (05:56):
Just go off the bridge.

Speaker 7 (05:57):
Man.

Speaker 6 (05:57):
It was hot out there, but Tony got a.

Speaker 13 (06:00):
Much it for you from your vantage point.

Speaker 8 (06:02):
Yes, and no I haven't been listening.

Speaker 13 (06:04):
Sorry, Attie, But your quote from your vantage point? What
did the offense look like to you? Tony guise didn't
look all that great to me. But you're the experts,
so I defer to you.

Speaker 14 (06:17):
What do you think.

Speaker 4 (06:20):
I thought the offense looked stinky stinky today? How about
that for expert analysis?

Speaker 6 (06:26):
Stinky stinky pooh pooh, yep.

Speaker 4 (06:28):
The only thing they were able to do was was
move the ball with a little bit of the quick
game and some checkdowns. They weren't able to establish anything
down the field. They got nothing going on the running game,
which I know is hard when you're not tackling pre
snap penalties. I counted six or seven pre snap penalties
between the ones and twos. It was. It was a

(06:49):
comedy of disasters today.

Speaker 15 (06:51):
Yes my talk back yesterday was satirical. It was a
parody on the Jermaine Burton's statement that he issued. I
got some positive feedback regarding my talkback. Specifically, my mom
thought it was clever. What did you guys think about
your main statement? I get that he wants to push
back on the narrative that he's a head case again,

(07:15):
but I also thought his statement was weird, not very nuanced,
kind of hostile.

Speaker 6 (07:20):
What do you think of who Jermaine Burton?

Speaker 5 (07:25):
I think he's I think he's got a little bit
of a temper, and I don't think he liked if
you've been working really hard on yourself and you've been
doing all the right stuff and then all of a sudden,
somebody wants to yell at you, and somebody wants to
accuse you of this, and somebody wants to say you're
not doing the right things blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah. Then you can understandably be pretty upset by that.

Speaker 8 (07:45):
Yeah, and so you got to have.

Speaker 4 (07:47):
The understanding of what it's been in the full scope
of your work here in Cincinnati.

Speaker 8 (07:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (07:52):
I totally get his reaction.

Speaker 8 (07:54):
And Mom made a good point.

Speaker 6 (07:55):
He practiced on Saturday, Yeah, and I.

Speaker 4 (07:57):
Think people see that and then no, he got hurt
in the game, but why was he Probably it's not
on Saturday.

Speaker 5 (08:00):
And the part that's really weird to me is Zach
Taylor's like, probably happens sometime during the game. They don't
seem to know what it was. Again, why can't you
just say he had some swelling in his knee. So
we're gonna be really careful with it, right, We don't
know if it happened during the game. We don't know
if it happened in practice. But he woke up with
swelling in his knee. Okay, so and we're gonna.

Speaker 8 (08:24):
Be cautious, Yeah, with where he's at. That's it.

Speaker 5 (08:27):
Hey, Well, the way the whole thing has been handled
is what makes people perk their ears up. From Jermaine side,
from Zach Side from the Bengal Side with their statement
all of it.

Speaker 16 (08:36):
Hey, fellas, this is the owner of this Cincinnati Pro
football team. A little word of advice for Tony and
Austin when covering training camp. And the bugs are biting.
When I'm on my easy Go golf cart, I rub
flex all four fifty four all over my skin.

Speaker 6 (08:58):
That's exposed.

Speaker 16 (09:00):
A little bonus. It smells great.

Speaker 6 (09:02):
Two keeps the bugs away.

Speaker 4 (09:06):
Okay, I have to say this. Today we got out here.
We're like nine to twenty getting out here, getting set up.
Nine thirty. When we got in the gate, Mike Brown
was out here. I mean our Golden was the first
one out. Mike Brown was the second, and he pulled
up next al Golden. They talked for about five minutes
and then Mike Brown parked the golf cart and he

(09:27):
walked around the length of the practice field about three times.

Speaker 5 (09:29):
Listen, man, I was getting some steps in. And he
just turned ninety over the weekend, so happy birthday. Well, uh, listen,
that dude every day is getting some steps in. He
has been doing that for years and years and years,
and oftentimes when they go back over to the stadium,
he will take laps around the game field and not
just like around where the out of bounds lines are

(09:50):
like the entire thing.

Speaker 6 (09:55):
Good afternoon, guys.

Speaker 12 (09:56):
I was just thinking about the Bengals, and it's not
so much about the deepense. What most of these offensive
coordinators and head coaches have an idea, what his tendencies,
his philosophies, his ideals about defense are from watching you know,
Notre Dame and then his other prior coaching experiences and.

Speaker 5 (10:19):
I know that.

Speaker 6 (10:19):
Can you clear that up for me?

Speaker 8 (10:22):
Thanks, guys.

Speaker 6 (10:24):
There's tape on everybody.

Speaker 8 (10:26):
Everyone's got tape out there. Man.

Speaker 4 (10:27):
Yeah, eye in the sky don't lie. Eye in the
sky is not gonna lie.

Speaker 17 (10:35):
Hey, guys, great show today. Able to listen to it live,
which is a rarity. So I'm enjoying it. Let me
know what you think about this hypothetical trade. But I'll
take the signing of Noah offense.

Speaker 6 (10:46):
Looking at their.

Speaker 17 (10:46):
Roster, they have really two pass catching tight ends and
one blocking tight end which they ran with all last year.

Speaker 6 (10:53):
And then you have Tanner Hudson.

Speaker 17 (10:54):
This kind of standalone trade Tanner Hudson, see what you
can get out of them. Upgrade any positions, a corner
o line, maybe at a pick if you need to
let me know what you think.

Speaker 4 (11:03):
Yeah, I don't mind the creativity there, because I think
Tanner Hudson may become the odd man out. But at
the same time, it's not like they have to trade
someone to get money or equity. They've got the money
available to make a move. They've got draft picks available
to make a move as well. With Tanner Hudson, would
he demand something in return?

Speaker 8 (11:25):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (11:25):
Maybe that's why they're playing it more in the preseason.
Maybe they're putting more tape out there on Tanner Hudson
for another team.

Speaker 8 (11:31):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (11:31):
Yeah, sure, why not?

Speaker 5 (11:32):
I guess I don't know that you're gonna get much
for him, to be honest, but if that's a path potentially,
But I will say, Tanner Hudson is the guy that
Joe Burrow really likes and trust and has gone out
of his way to talk about.

Speaker 6 (11:47):
So keep that in mind.

Speaker 18 (11:49):
Yeah, I didn't have time to look this morning. Is
there an easy breakdown of how many five game plus
winning streaks the Brewers have had this year? Let's hope
they finish off this next winning streak before when they
get to town.

Speaker 5 (12:02):
I saw it the other day on Twitter. They've got
multiple ten game winning streaks. I don't know how many
five gamers they have.

Speaker 8 (12:09):
They went again last night.

Speaker 6 (12:10):
Yeah, fourteen to nothing.

Speaker 8 (12:12):
Of course they did.

Speaker 6 (12:13):
They ran schemes after four innings.

Speaker 8 (12:15):
Did they really? Yeah?

Speaker 12 (12:16):
Wow?

Speaker 19 (12:19):
Tony Addie ted from Fairfield. In regards to our friend Ben,
I don't want to besmirch another man's name. We all
have unique names, but frankly it sounds made up. Just
like Kramer said in Seinfeld, Ben Baby, it sounds like
a gangster acting for money.

Speaker 6 (12:44):
It might be made up.

Speaker 8 (12:45):
Shout out to Ben Man.

Speaker 6 (12:46):
Do you know how many people in this business don't
use their real names?

Speaker 8 (12:49):
Ben babye a lot of them.

Speaker 20 (12:52):
I don't hey Austin out at park today, how many
Green pitch tonight? I think goes six strong. The Batch
are heating up against left handed pitching and keep that up.
Tonight is a rock Sanchez yesterday, good performance. They should

(13:13):
have scored more runs though, good reds Obviously.

Speaker 4 (13:16):
I don't think it's anything about uh in innings. I
think it's all about pitch count, whatever that number may
be going forward for Hunter Green, I would imagine somewhere
around what eighty or nine?

Speaker 6 (13:27):
Do you think I would think?

Speaker 5 (13:28):
Yeah, I think if you're eighty and his last one,
so as long as he feels good and with the
the bullpen is a little bit rested now after Abbot
last night and uh Singer Singer last night and Abbot
the day before, So possibly.

Speaker 13 (13:45):
Is there any chance Seth McLachlan or Met Lee could
slide over and play guard?

Speaker 5 (13:51):
I would think, but we haven't seen that yet. Also,
do you notice Howard Cross got some first team reps today?

Speaker 12 (13:59):
Yeah, sech Fellas.

Speaker 21 (14:03):
Considering everything we've seen from training camp, preseason Game one
and Brown's devil magic when they play us, what do
you put our odds out for a week.

Speaker 6 (14:14):
One win right now? Fifty to fifty I'm not kidding.

Speaker 8 (14:20):
Forty.

Speaker 6 (14:21):
I'm not kidding. That's my sixty forty.

Speaker 8 (14:26):
I'll go sixty forty.

Speaker 15 (14:29):
Tony Audie, happy victory Wednesday, Big w for that foys
downtown at GABP last night.

Speaker 4 (14:35):
Hey, it's Will.

Speaker 8 (14:38):
I got an interesting question for you.

Speaker 12 (14:40):
Did Brian Kelly reach out in any former fashion text,
call email?

Speaker 15 (14:44):
What have you in regards to congratulating you on getting
into the Hall of Fame.

Speaker 17 (14:50):
This one's been on my mind lately, I'm intrigued to
hear the answer.

Speaker 4 (14:53):
Now he didn't and I don't know who is responsible
for because I didn't reach out. But I did receive
yesterday and LSU signed football from Brian Kelly that was
donated for the benefit on Saturday. So someone down there
in Baton Rouge has followed along and knew what was happening.

(15:15):
But I highly doubt that was Brian Kelly keeping up
with things. But someone had enough wherewithal to see it
and had Brian Kelly son a ball, which we certainly appreciate.

Speaker 8 (15:25):
But no, I didn't hear anything for the Hall of Fame.

Speaker 5 (15:26):
Mysterious package and unmarked box just smells like Brian Kelly.

Speaker 6 (15:32):
For sure. I can't be trusted.

Speaker 22 (15:36):
Hey, there, Tony and Austin. It's branded form Indy the
Gentleman just called in and stole my thunder. Nick Anderson
played for the Magic and he really hurt the Pacers
back in the Eastern Conference finals in the ninety Yeah,
he played with Penny Hardaway and then didn't hurt the Rockers.
But anyways, you want to talking about sports, Bengals, I'm
not sure it sounds like the defense. I'm not sure

(15:58):
if they've improved much or not. And as far as
the Reds are concerned, I'm not sure if they have
enough to make the playoffs.

Speaker 4 (16:05):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know what they do or not.

Speaker 8 (16:09):
Yeah, right there with you, Clody, Audie, right up from
the Ryan.

Speaker 3 (16:15):
You guys know that I was a big Moon.

Speaker 20 (16:16):
And Maso backer when they were up.

Speaker 4 (16:18):
For the president talkback elections.

Speaker 20 (16:23):
I'm very thankful to have Maso and as my president
and being a true contributor to the.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
Show and not with that whiny mount healthy boy.

Speaker 3 (16:34):
See you boys Saturday.

Speaker 8 (16:35):
Have a great day.

Speaker 19 (16:36):
Wow, gentlemen, how are we doing today?

Speaker 23 (16:41):
Happy Wednesday? Question in regards to the offensive line, the
personalities who they are, would you rather see a stronger
writer web side or would you try to balance it
the bets that you can get in that there's a
lot of bottle next year with our current thing.

Speaker 4 (17:01):
I couldn't hear much because I got caught in the
enchanting sounds of that warbler.

Speaker 8 (17:06):
What I do know, enchanting.

Speaker 4 (17:09):
I would rather be balanced because there are too many defenses.
If you're just one side heavy that can match your
one side. I don't think. I don't think they have
the ability to be dominant on one side and okay
on the other. I think you gotta go more balance
to keep the defense kind of balanced as well.

Speaker 14 (17:26):
Let us get ready to ramble. Fighting out of the
blue corner wearing the black trunks, the Landscaper, the long Enforcers.

Speaker 6 (17:37):
The grass Assassin. From the Reading.

Speaker 14 (17:39):
Ohio Sugar Ray ready fighting out of the red corner
wearing the Tri State Men's Health trunks. Also from Reading Ohio,
The Hall of Famer Tony to tight.

Speaker 4 (17:58):
Oh my god, that is so good, pretty good, Sugar Ray.

Speaker 7 (18:03):
Roddy, I think I know why you're getting ate up
because the Bengals offense today.

Speaker 8 (18:08):
Was do do?

Speaker 6 (18:10):
Did you step in it?

Speaker 4 (18:12):
I didn't step in it, but you know I've I've
been told before that I have what I think I
have like old blood, which makes my blood just like
a sweet nectar to mosquitoes and things.

Speaker 6 (18:23):
Do you know how to get from to Cleveland from here?

Speaker 8 (18:26):
It's got to be just a straight shot.

Speaker 5 (18:28):
You go north till you smell it, and then you
go east till you step in it.

Speaker 24 (18:31):
Yep, Tony as George Valley, Oh yeah, Nick van x Well,
it's not even close. Man, That left handed shot was
a thing of beauty.

Speaker 6 (18:39):
Man, He's one of my favorite players.

Speaker 8 (18:40):
Of all time. Uh.

Speaker 24 (18:43):
I'm sure the Bengals if Mike is predicted nine wins.
If they get nine wins, John Gruden will be our
tach next year. Let's go Reds and I really need
to dub again.

Speaker 5 (18:55):
That would be that would be entertaining if John Gruden
was the head coach. I don't think that's gonna happen.
Why the left handers always it always looks better coming
from a lefty everything.

Speaker 6 (19:05):
Why is that?

Speaker 8 (19:07):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (19:07):
Just you're you're just not used to seeing it as much,
I think, and it always just looks so.

Speaker 3 (19:13):
From Texas, Hey, anybody going down to Thomas the train.

Speaker 8 (19:24):
I'm sure Tony's taking bar the kids.

Speaker 6 (19:28):
If anybody could.

Speaker 3 (19:29):
Get me certain top of that or person's autograph, that'd
be great.

Speaker 1 (19:35):
That's okay, I won't be there, Tony Austin Johnny from
out healthy here. Just what encourage a lot of Bengals
fans to not overreact to certain things in practice and
certain things on the preseason? Bill Belichick with seventy four
and seventy four as a record in the preseason in general,
that's a Patriots dynasty. They didn't win the preseason games.

(19:58):
These are learning lessons, These are film sessions I think
that players are building off of. So it's good that
there's all these false start penalties at the beginning because
they're gonna learn from these mistakes and correct them.

Speaker 6 (20:08):
I think it's help. There you go, John from Mount House.
Everyone relaxed makes a lot of sense.

Speaker 25 (20:14):
Tony Austin balling an't easy. You know, fantasy football. I
always like it.

Speaker 6 (20:19):
It's always fun.

Speaker 25 (20:20):
But when the Bengals are bad or the Bengals are
out of it, I pay so much more attention because
while the Bengals are on, it's all Bengals for me.
But yeah, if the Bengals are crap or if our
season's over, yeah, then my fantasy interest is awesome because
then I've got nothing else to do.

Speaker 8 (20:40):
It's true, that's a good point.

Speaker 20 (20:42):
The Bluers are twenty four and six and our last
thirty the Bluers.

Speaker 6 (20:47):
He called them the bloors.

Speaker 26 (20:50):
Hello, what do you think about Davil Adams bold bold
prediction of twenty and oh winning the Super Bowl and
partaking in the wagging room.

Speaker 5 (21:05):
I didn't hear that Lapp said this I didn't hear
that either, but I saw our guy Marcus on Twitter
said fifteen and two, and I know he's been indulging
in something.

Speaker 6 (21:14):
Hey guys, is all Brad in the RBA blue Eyes?

Speaker 8 (21:17):
Anyways?

Speaker 27 (21:18):
You can throw that Brian Kelly football right in the ashcan.
I wouldn't bit on it. I wouldn't play catch with it.
I wouldn't touch that thing. I wouldn't give it away
to my worst enemy. Hey God, I wouldn't even let
God have it.

Speaker 6 (21:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (21:37):
Oh, some wounds just will never heal.

Speaker 6 (21:40):
Nope, that was our last one.

Speaker 8 (21:43):
Very good.

Speaker 6 (21:43):
We've got a touch and go on the way back here.
