Speaker 2 (00:12):
Let's go, Let's get some energy. Bump Bump, Top.

Speaker 3 (00:18):
Backs, Tony Bike and Friends talk talkbacks. I'm worried about

(00:39):
this bunch. It's gonna be a big one. By the way,
Red Legs back underway two pm today, Oh boy. Game
will restart at two pm as the rain moves out
of the area.

Speaker 4 (00:53):
Addie Tone was good. Top Back Mike here a lot
of time tho talk Listen. I need to resumate the
playoffs and with games because I can't leave my sanity
in the hands of the Bengals and Beercats.

Speaker 5 (01:04):
See.

Speaker 4 (01:04):
I blame Cincinnati Sports for the reason our relationships on
work in Hammerson County has a hot divorce free because
you stick around and you give a chance and chance
and they just still break your heart. Me and my
therapists got a lot to talk about. But unless you
can back with runners and score a position and play
second base, I'm cooked.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:22):
Good, good point, Real men of genius, missus Cincinnati's fad.

Speaker 7 (01:33):
Cincinnati Sports has been plagued recently with season ending Joe
Burrow injuries and the Rad's losing to the Pirates in
September baseball, But Cincinnati sports fans keep coming back because
we are real men of genius.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
I love those commersals. That is fantastic. Went to the
game last night with my nineteen year old daughter. We
had a great time.

Speaker 8 (02:04):
It actually was a great game, even though the outcome
was kind of crappy. But uh, she said something that
kind of stuck with me. She's like, we just need
like one more player that can really hit the ball.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
And I have to agree with her. True sounds like
a smart daughter.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
Yeah, got my National Daughter's Day today, by the way,
Marge daughter, shout out, Wesley, shout out to west Man.

Speaker 9 (02:37):
Got my Chase Brown bibblehead today. Must like did take
much to get through the line, It was pretty easy.
Just assured the running back. Something you're saying it Russell Wilson.
Maybe I'm wrong.

Speaker 10 (02:47):
I think the.

Speaker 9 (02:48):
Dude is washed. I think he hit his team as
as well as that dresser was pitting around your neck
and that throwback. But I do appreciate you guys, appreciate
all my fellow top take care of yourself, take care
of each other.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Heard act. Wow, that's a good, good all around talk.
Back from Kevin. I didn't even I didn't even get
the Chase Brown bobble yet, didn't even try.

Speaker 5 (03:12):
Mock turtle neck soup. Did you know that turtle meat
was very expensive in the eighteenth century? Yes, that's why
mock turtle neck suit around. Yes, I said turtleneck.

Speaker 11 (03:25):
What century are we in?

Speaker 2 (03:27):
Would you call me turtle? Huh?

Speaker 12 (03:29):
Ron DC, Well, I wonder if Lance McAllister is starting
to understand why so many of us Reds fans refuse
to allow ourselves to get too excited about this team. Oh,
and I guess Eli Manning will remain with Jim Plunkett
as the only quarterbacks to win two Super Bowls and
yet not get elected into the Hall of Fame.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
Oh, I think Eli's going to get in? Oh? I do?
I think elis getting in soon?

Speaker 13 (03:57):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (03:57):
Yeah, okay, yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
You know what's great about Lance and what I love
about Lance, I really don't know what side of the
fence he's on when it comes to the Reds. It
is a good point which tells me he does a
great job of looking at things from every side.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
I normally pick a stance and stick with it. I'm
open to changing my mind. Lance does a great job.

Speaker 14 (04:21):
Anyway, Hey guys, Marcus from the grove.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
Marcus went to.

Speaker 10 (04:29):
The game last night.

Speaker 14 (04:32):
Uh yeah, still a game out.

Speaker 11 (04:38):
I guess that's anything.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
We can hold our hat on.

Speaker 15 (04:40):
Technically only a half a game back because of we
own the tiebreakers.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
But I mean, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
Man that now, that that right there hurts me to
the core. Same to hear our guy like that, man,
because he is. If you want an eternal optimist when
it comes to the Reds, it's Marcus. And and that,
by golly, that sounded like a broken man.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
Yeah, and you know, thirty five minutes from right now,
Marcus is gonna discard us, throw us to the side,
and go watch the Reds again. And I hope if
for no other reason, Marcus deserves it.

Speaker 16 (05:16):
Yep, Thank god McLean's not alive today. Tito will still
probably use them the pinch shit in a crucial situation
with running his corn position.

Speaker 12 (05:25):
I do.

Speaker 16 (05:25):
It's completely lost it. He's went from batman to bateman.
His one highlight this year for the Reds is turning
down a contact extension. Yep, and we all appreciate him
for that. Now, the topping to baitman bile and head
down to sing away where you belong.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
Man. Thatman to Bateman is a good one. That's a
good line. Well that's from a commercial. Yeah, it's a
good line though, well.

Speaker 17 (05:47):
From the you Been a minute fellas Grazy Me and
the Boys heading to Denver this weekend Monday night football.
I like the Bengals covering the spread, not sure if
we're gonna win or not, but looking for some must
hit spot. I haven't been out there in about twenty
years or so, and I was I keep hearing us
go by the baseball park, bunch of bars and restaurants
over there, but didn't know what. If anyone had any insight,

(06:08):
Whoda go big Blue, let's go Red Legs win a
game today, good boy.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
I unfortunately don't have any insight, but uh, I would
imagine be a good time out there. I have never
been to Denver.

Speaker 18 (06:21):
Hello, guys, we're gonna talk about the day.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
We're gonna talk about the the Luke Patrick ors, you guys,
doggy my all summer.

Speaker 18 (06:28):
But guess what when he came down to the Cleveland
Brown and he was in the running game, looked polished,
and then as soon as he got hurt, what do
you know they go to the Ulfas of Land.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
The Alphas of Land was in Shilbos.

Speaker 18 (06:39):
You guys want a dome Rissler, You got what you
wanted Ulfas of Land.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
Wow, Well guess what who is? Are we saying that
the key to the running game is Lucas Patrick gripping
the city out here in sunny hots on it? What up? Tonny?

Speaker 10 (06:54):
What up?

Speaker 2 (06:55):
By man? Oh for five? Matt McLean? Real talk.

Speaker 19 (06:58):
I can't do this watching those bases then we couldn't
get a run across. I can't do this watching the
Reds playing extra innings. I definitely can't do this. Pittsburgh
stinks man from football to baseball. What an ugly team color.
I'm just venting because I hate that team. Real talk.
We always make Pittsburgh look good. Reds don't get swept.

(07:18):
We still got a shot, but don't get swept. Your
coach sat that seems still hot.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
Ain't letting them forget.

Speaker 14 (07:26):
Mechanical for Horwitz. I'll tell you last night was the
m I C R O C S M of the
Red season was.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
One micro very good. I loveday Framburgh.

Speaker 14 (07:37):
Dummy Valdez ver sins he threw the ball in his
own catcher. It's like he put a curse on his
own team. I'll tell you, Kansas has been very impressive.
I think so far be interesting how you see matches up?

Speaker 2 (07:52):
Well done. I love I love the microcosm.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
I don't feel bad for anything that happens to the Astros.
They're dead to me. I'm sorry, cause I'll talk back good.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
Rady afternoon, gentlemen.

Speaker 20 (08:04):
I'll just watered. Is there any reason why you can't
line up personnel in a fullback and a running back
and still run a spread type offense? And wouldn't that
cause some matchup problems? If maybe Zach Taylor might explore
this just a thought. Does seemed to be very inventive.

(08:27):
You know exactly what's going to happen with this guy?

Speaker 2 (08:31):
I think. I think folks are looking for anything right now,
including I saw Charlie Goldsmith tweet out a day or
so ago that maybe the Bengal should look for God
with a fullback. You know what, I didn't hate that idea. Yeah,
it's an idea.

Speaker 21 (08:43):
Hey, guys, I think Chase Brown is going to be
really good, But has he done enough to be labeled
a human highlight reel?

Speaker 2 (08:54):
Yes? He is go to skyline.

Speaker 15 (08:56):
Get your bibble hood, Hey, Tony and Alson, I'm going
to make get a suggestion to it for the Reds
next scheduler. Only scheduled teams that are above five hundred,
but not the Brewers because they can't beat film and
they can't beat teams that are sub five hundred. So

(09:16):
only above five hundred teams like Yeah. Also, Austin, I
did mean to say go blue yesterday. But when you
only have thirty seconds and you find out you have
to rush to get to the end of.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
It, it reminds me of Kevin from the office. Why
say lot word when few word do?

Speaker 2 (09:30):
Trick?

Speaker 15 (09:33):
Tony Audie?

Speaker 5 (09:33):
What up?

Speaker 21 (09:34):
Boys?

Speaker 15 (09:35):
Now that the game last night Tyler Stevenson home run.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
They got people to my left.

Speaker 11 (09:40):
The place went absolutely bonkers. Listen is nicky York?

Speaker 19 (09:44):
Was that Joe Morgan on second base last night?

Speaker 15 (09:48):
Goli? Hopefully they can figure it out today, boys, get
after it, Hohode.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
Was he in full gear last night? It looked like
Brandon Phillips was was balling in full gear.

Speaker 22 (10:00):
He went to the game last night, took my son
out of school early, dropped down. You want to talk
about an exciting atmosphere that was supposed to be our
clenchmus last night and driving back up seventy four in
a pit of misery.

Speaker 6 (10:13):
But that's the life of a Reds fan. I'll be honest.
The Reds have me actually looking forward to Zach Taylor's
Thomas today. Wow, that's how bad it's got on here.
We are got to get a win today.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
Oh, very well done, Very well done.

Speaker 23 (10:28):
Tella is Miles here, I need your expert of beginon.
So I have Chase Brown starting king, I have kids
Katabooskie on my bench.

Speaker 12 (10:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 23 (10:43):
I think I should spend the Katabooskie over Brown this weekend,
urging three and oh so that we can get to
keep my record alive.

Speaker 19 (10:55):
To have a good day.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
I think Scott might be the play. He's gonna get
more snaps as well because the other guy got hurt too. Yeah,
I would, I would start Campska.

Speaker 9 (11:07):
Who do I trust between Zach Taylor and Tito pat Noon.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
Yeah, that's not an option.

Speaker 24 (11:15):
Well, add another gym to the Cincinnati scrap book of
embarrassment with everything to play for, come in and lose
a series to the Pittsburgh Pirates. I mean they don't
even deserve to be and the Mets don't deserve to
be in This is crazy and I'm so tired of
having to depend on other teams failing so that we
can succeed because we can't do it on our own.

(11:35):
And the Diamondbacks, you sold half our team of the deadline,
are now thinking, wow, we got to get in playoff
mode that you know, the MLB just needs to step
in and eliminate that last wild card spot.

Speaker 21 (11:47):
Hello, Hello, this is this is Evan and even cut
start bench, Brian Callahan, uh Scott Sadderfield, Zach Taylor, David Schula,

(12:07):
Bruce Coslet, Homer Rice, Tommy Tabarville, George Babcock.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
Thanks seven.

Speaker 10 (12:18):
Every time I hear Zach Taylor talking, I just get
more frustrated. He always has an excuse. Other team just
showed up better. It wasn't in our script. It's a
long season. You were in the AFC Championship, played in
the Super Bowl. I'm a good coach. Maybe ticked a

(12:40):
wrong away game to go to Monday night.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
I think the wrong away game to go to was
this past Sunday. Yeah, I think Monday Guy.

Speaker 11 (12:52):
As we're talking about the run game, what happened when
if you remember the first series of the Cleveland game
and how good we were on the ball there and
even with Joe, even with Burrow Hurt whoever was in
their quarterback like, it seemed like we never got a
series like that afterwards.

Speaker 10 (13:09):
What are your what are your thoughts on that?

Speaker 13 (13:12):
Uh?

Speaker 11 (13:13):
Second point is yeah, those three head coaches you guys
mentioned in the poll. Yeah, I'm picking the smokestack steamer
overall three.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
Oh my gosh, Steamer forgot about the steamer. Yeah, I
don't know. I I teams adjusted. I guess they probably
made one small adjustment and Bengals haven't figured it out yet.
That was a fun first drive though.

Speaker 13 (13:34):
Hey, Zach, I'd like to revisit the play where Jamar
Chase stood motionless refused the block mailing it in Sam
bagging it. Looking at that play, would you say that

(13:54):
we left a little bit of meat on the bone.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
Thanks, Well, the first half wasn't even that bad. Hey, boys,
love you love your show.

Speaker 10 (14:07):
Quick question?

Speaker 2 (14:08):
Why did we fall from the eight dollar tickets?

Speaker 25 (14:11):
The eight dollar tickets are the concerts of September, no
real reason to go to the games, but let's pack
the house for a playoff. Push that's not gonna happen
because they don't actually want it to happen.

Speaker 2 (14:27):
That hurts. I don't believe that that hurts.

Speaker 26 (14:31):
Tony Addi, Denny Hannah here in Naples, Florida, market down
the Reds will win their first series and god knows
how long in Milwaukee to clinch a playoff berth.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
Market. My goodness, man, I wish I had confidence. It's
about this, I wish I had. Would you have taken
this trade?

Speaker 26 (14:52):
We let the Steelers beat the Bengals twice if they
let the Reds beat the Pirates three?

Speaker 2 (14:59):
Wow? Wow, that is very, very tough. It's a good question.
What do you if it.

Speaker 3 (15:04):
Meant that the Reds get to the playoffs? I would say, yes, yeah,
I'll sign up. Yeah I would I'll sign up.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
Yeah. That was our last one.

Speaker 15 (15:11):
Man.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
That would be tough. That would be that's that's a
difficult one. That is a that hurts my head even
thinking about that.

Speaker 3 (15:19):
My dad, if he were here, he would say, if
I had a head that looked like that, that's a
little why I wouldn't hurt.

Speaker 2 (15:23):
That's why. Thank you Phil out the film man. We'll
take a break, we'll come back. We got another football
in the Natty phone calls as well. And then at
two o'clock, Gavin Gerhart, the center for the Cincinnati Bearcats,
the center on the offensive line who's yet to give
up a sack. That means they pass protect and they
run block. Talk to Gavin about that at two o'clock.

(15:46):
I need to ask Gavin about the Bengals offensive line
