Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
And see three sixty here every show at ESPN fifteen
thirty dot com.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's the temple best.

Speaker 3 (00:11):
For us standing down and clean in.

Speaker 4 (00:17):
A spring goes.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Our wish.

Speaker 5 (00:21):
That temple best.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
It's our favorite part us and Surry three sex day.

Speaker 6 (00:29):
Stay well you played at thes.

Speaker 7 (00:31):
On your screen and try not to sanitize you.

Speaker 8 (00:36):
Welcome back, thanks to our friends at Sincy Shirts. We'll
give away Sincy Shirts gift card tomorrow to the best talkbacker.
Uh we thank Cincy Shirts as we do Skyline Chili
and uh as we do all of our talkbackers who
continue to make this a ton of fun.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
Well, Admiral Y I'm a Moto brought in a fleet
and sank to Red's October and at the end they
were celebrating with Sasaki. Oh man, you know thanks were
bad here in the four When your eight year old
look at you and says, you know I'm losing confidence
in the reds out a mouse of babes and does
anyone else sink that Tito sets here for the sun
flywer seats and a paycheck.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
M all right, man, man, mm mmmmm man.

Speaker 9 (01:14):
That might be the worst coaching I've ever witnessed in
my entire life. How do you pull your second best
picture after an ending in two thirds when he's only
giving up one hit and who in the hell sends
a pinch hitter up there with one ball and two

(01:35):
strikes cold. He doesn't even get a chance to time
the pitcher up before he's already struck out.

Speaker 8 (01:44):
Yeah, remarkable, literally remarkable last night, could not believe it.

Speaker 6 (01:50):
Well, the cockroaches finally found a roach motel.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
Out there at the Hotel California. Looked to me like
they were all pressing too much.

Speaker 10 (02:01):
I think just about everybody had a hand in those
two losses.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Young team pressing too hard.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
Oh well, hey, can we go get the big bopper
from Middletown please?

Speaker 2 (02:11):
What's his name?

Speaker 7 (02:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:13):
That that that kind of hit dingers from Middletown. Do
we need to do this right now?

Speaker 11 (02:22):
Let's just get it out now. There are not going
to sign Kyle Schwarber. Kyle Schwarber will not take a
hometown discount to play for the Reds, even though he's
from Middletown. Even if he did offer them a hometown discount,
they wouldn't pay that much. It's not going to happen.

Speaker 12 (02:42):
No, Tony tone in a Greek sauce as you go
out to silverton big Al look Tony last night. I
think it comes down to is the Dodgers are just
a bad matchup for the Reds.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
That's really what it was.

Speaker 12 (02:55):
And so with that being said, my sports fandom for
this fall comes under one man's shoulders and as mister
Scott Saderfield, which is just me.

Speaker 11 (03:04):
Chills on the back of my neck thinking about it.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
Man, I need to get into something different.

Speaker 5 (03:09):
Sports are just not it.

Speaker 12 (03:10):
Maybe I'll start watching Dancing with the Stars or something.

Speaker 11 (03:13):
I saw there was like a big doubleheader basically for
Dancing with the Stars in the Reds game at the
same time. Really, I saw a lot of people going
dual screen action, really, which I didn't know. Dancing with
the Stars was still a thing, right that what is it?
Survivor American Idol? American Idol been around for forty years.

Speaker 6 (03:33):
Boy, I can't get over just people just absolutely losing
it today that things are saying the way they're acting.
I mean, come on, folks, one of the people sky
I ain't say one babble head, they mean one babble head.

Speaker 13 (03:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (03:47):
I want to thank the Reds players and Tito for
a good season. I was entertained.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
I was also.

Speaker 4 (03:53):
Surprised by my mad reaction last night towards the end
of the game because of the two run lead and
the hopium in that also didn't like all the celebrity
shots on TV. Just made me feel small and unworthy.
But good season all round. Okay, good job.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
Sorry, how you playing Los Angeles? Y? Sorry you feel
that way?

Speaker 14 (04:19):
Hey fellas, it's Bennie.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
I need a favor.

Speaker 14 (04:21):
I need to use my thirty seconds of airwave freedom
to call out one Marty Brenahan.

Speaker 15 (04:27):
Marty Brenahan has.

Speaker 14 (04:28):
Been using his silly little show with Tracy Jones to
give us propaganda about Terrible Francona for a year.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Marty, I won a special show today.

Speaker 14 (04:38):
Dust off the mics and come on and apologize to
the Cincinnati people about how wrong you've been about Terrible Francono.

Speaker 5 (04:46):
Will you do?

Speaker 7 (04:46):
It?

Speaker 2 (04:49):
Is his new name, Terrible, Terrible Terrible. I thought for
a moment last night it was Terry the Magnificent Again.

Speaker 13 (04:56):
I did to hello, this is former President Ronald Riggan.
Three D chess move by Terry Francona by saving Andrew
Abbott for Game three and Nick Lodolo for a potential
game four. Yeah, but seriously, folks, that's like Zach Taylor
having two timeouts in his pocket as he watches the
game clock run out while the Bengals are attempting a

(05:18):
fourth quarter comeback drive.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Good point.

Speaker 13 (05:21):
I think I'm gonna go now and make some interest
payments on a loan I've not taken out.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
Good point. I still can't believe Nick Martinez came in
in the sixth.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
Nope, that was the guy guys big Kahun in Kentucky.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
I think to pix the Bengals, you have to trade
a four for We're not doing.

Speaker 8 (05:37):
Speaking of this, We're just gonna say Sanders on Nick Martinez.
There was a point in that Otania bat where I
knew watching and I know Otani knew it, and I
think Martinez did that. He didn't possess a pitch that
was gonna get him out.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
Correct.

Speaker 16 (05:52):
If the Reds couldn't pitch Abbod last night and we
had to go with Lttel, why aren't we pitching Lattel
three innings, Nick Lodolo another three innings, yep?

Speaker 2 (06:05):
And Chase Burns three innings yep. I know that's round
upon but do or die go home, go home? Yep, yep, yep.

Speaker 11 (06:14):
Play to win in two games? Emelio Pegan, Nick Lodolo,
Chase Burns Andrew Abbott combined for twenty seven pitches in
a two game series in which the Reds gave up
eighteen runs.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
Yep, make it make sense.

Speaker 5 (06:33):
That was more of a Lewis I'm corking at champagne bottles.

Speaker 12 (06:37):
He has to be the most relieved sports figure in
losing Cincinnati streak folklore?

Speaker 2 (06:43):
What plus you think it'd be easier.

Speaker 5 (06:46):
To win one baseball playoff game than one NFL one?

Speaker 2 (06:51):
Dave always sounds like he's struggling.

Speaker 13 (06:54):
Yep.

Speaker 17 (06:55):
Rep in the city out here, not so sunny, hot
and Tony? What up?

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Body?

Speaker 17 (07:00):
The day in life of a just a nice sports fan, man,
it stinks, especially on national TV.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
I come to work getting made fun of. It's just
what it is.

Speaker 17 (07:08):
The lovable losers of sports, from red to the Bengals
to the Bearcats, just embarrassing on national TV. I still
love my city, still love my sports teams.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
I'm going down with the ship.

Speaker 17 (07:20):
This is how it is being a sports fan of Cincinnati.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
Straight jokes. How do we get from where? We are
to where we want to be. That's a substantia.

Speaker 18 (07:32):
I hate Sparks.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
I hate it.

Speaker 19 (07:38):
I cannot stand anything that has to do anything with sports.

Speaker 14 (07:45):
I hate the team concept, I hate sports radio.

Speaker 15 (07:49):
I hate everything about spark.

Speaker 20 (07:54):
It kills me.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
I hate it dark.

Speaker 21 (08:00):
Why is it when the Reds make the playoffs and
don't win, it's an unsuccessful season. However, when the Bengals
do it, it's called a successful season according to you.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
The media people who said that.

Speaker 21 (08:10):
Now, I don't understand the hypocrisy or who said I
know that you guys favor the Bengals a little bit.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
More than who said that, which is kind of sad crazy.

Speaker 21 (08:17):
I think you guys should be fair to both. Well,
it seems like you criticize the Reds more than you
do the Bengals, and the way the Bengals are playing,
you need to criticize them.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
A lot more.

Speaker 8 (08:27):
I would love to hear when I have said anything
about getting to the postseason and not winning anything.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
Was the success correct? Those words have never come out
of my mouth.

Speaker 8 (08:36):
And I just can't reiterate enough that there's not many
eight to nine times where the Bengals will make the playoffs, right,
I felt like the Reds this year were that eighty
three wins, forty and forty over the last eighty to
do that and then get swept the way they did.

Speaker 11 (08:51):
And the Bengals do at least try, I think harder
than the Reds to win. I think the Bengals are
more are more in an aggressive pursuit of a championship
than the Reds, and I could, at least over the
last time there is I think I could, at least
over the last five years see and understand the vision

(09:12):
that the Bengals were building. And we have criticized them
heavily because they have failed to build around Joe Bert.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
But they have tried. But they have tried, and.

Speaker 11 (09:24):
Mike, the Bengals have gotten to the playoffs and won
multiple playoff games. The Bengals are five and two in
the playoffs since twenty twenty one, five and two. The
Reds haven't won a single playoff game in thirteen years.
They have not advanced in the postseason in over thirty

(09:44):
It is the strongest drought of any North American sports
team not to advance in the postseason. So they do
play under a different set of rules because they are
an organization of failure for three decades.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
Wrecked.

Speaker 15 (10:03):
Been a little quiet on the Ken and Marcus front
this week.

Speaker 22 (10:06):
Will this be the year that the Kentucky Wildcats go
down to Athens, Georgia and actually keep it respectable?

Speaker 2 (10:11):
WHOA that's talking about stoking.

Speaker 23 (10:15):
I'll never understand why the whole city of Cincinnati is
just okay with mediocrity from the local ball club. I mean,
this is one of the most historic franchises in baseball,
a big red machine, wired and wired champion. I mean,
we should be expecting a lot more and we have
just sunk to being mediocre is fine. That's like being
the smartest kid in the stupid classes and being stoked

(10:38):
like at what?

Speaker 2 (10:41):
Yeah? Well said?

Speaker 11 (10:42):
I have gotten some tweets from people, this one guy Joe,
he's a big Phillies fan. He said, you can't go
that long without a playoff appearance and think World Series
are bust right away?

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Why Why can't I? Why I didn't say that point?
But why can't I? What's the point?

Speaker 11 (10:59):
Did you see mook bets with Scott Van Pelt last night?
Said it was neat that the Reds got into the playoffs.
There was another Dodgers fan that tweeted at me that said,
you guys aren't even close to being competitive.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
Just take this step and and build on it. Oh yeah,
that's fun, you see that.

Speaker 11 (11:17):
That's like being padded on the on the head and
being told, oh mo, that's how people think of this organization.
They are an afterthought. They are irrelevant. They are so
far from contending and so far from being that once
proud historical franchise. The Cincinnati Reads mean nothing to anybody
in the United States of America outside of Cincinnati, Ohio.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
And that is a shame for how far this organization
has fallen.

Speaker 3 (11:45):
Hello is Russell Wilson there? Oh Hi, Russell Wilson.

Speaker 24 (11:55):
This is as than from even Dale, Ohio.

Speaker 22 (12:00):
Will you please come to Cincinnati and be our quarterback.

Speaker 11 (12:06):
What's really weird about this talkback is that it was
left at the exact same time as this talkback.

Speaker 18 (12:12):
Hello, Hello, this is that on even Congratulations on twenty
twenty eight years of since the six thirty.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
I liked it better when it was an hour. That's
too much to follow with three hours.

Speaker 18 (12:33):
Oh so my votes for going back to one hour.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
I only listened for the traffic report.

Speaker 8 (12:41):
Right anyway, and the good news. With all of this,
Evan is that you could just listen to the hour
and then catch up with the rest on the radio app. Yeah,
and podcasts.

Speaker 11 (12:52):
For I saw a list today of the one hundred
best sports podcast in Cincinnati. I didn't say sports was
just oneati one hundred best since podcasts, Yeah, you know.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
It was number one. Well I'll tell you.

Speaker 8 (13:02):
I'll tell you who didn't make this list in City Beat.
Yeah to me, you have always been a fan of
feed Spot. Oh yeah, that's where I go to get
my information. He needs to back out one hundred best
Cincinnati podcast on feed Spot.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
And see what they have to say. Yep, I love
feed Spot.

Speaker 5 (13:19):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
Shout out the feed Spot.

Speaker 25 (13:21):
Hey, Tony and Austin. It's Jimmy Trim the g. Concerning
the Bengals, I just want to say it's probably time
just to rip this thing down to the studs. I
think that at this point you need to look for
a new coaching staff who probably wants to start with
a quarterback that they can rely on. As far as health,
I think you focus on the offensive line, getting each

(13:41):
one of those positions right, because if you can protect anything,
then I think any pro level quarterback can operate in all.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
Okay, he said, Jimmy from the G. What do we
think the G is? Glenn Ville.

Speaker 26 (13:57):
George through the Reds, the Bengals and a cow that
can't produce milk, Kevin Common, They're all utter failures.

Speaker 22 (14:06):
For milk.

Speaker 27 (14:07):
Toudge, Hey, I know Tito's a Hall of Fame manager
and all those things, but I thought he mishandled Will Benson.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
I agree, long I agree.

Speaker 27 (14:16):
I thought he mishandled Elie d la Cruz in the
second half. So he's not above criticism. I'm glad he
got us to the playoffs, but I was expecting more
from him.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
Strategically. Yep.

Speaker 27 (14:30):
Hopefully next year we'll get it together and go for it.

Speaker 11 (14:32):
And when with Francona's career, I think it becomes even
more fair to question him because the expectations are a
lot higher, and he's seen a lot and he's done
a lot, and so when a guy like that makes
decisions that don't make sense, it very fair to criticize
him because we've seen him not make those mistakes.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
In the best He has to answer that as well.

Speaker 28 (14:54):
Eight years Gentleman, Tony, your opening question today was exactly
what we talk about, and that's if you're a Reds fan,
you're insane because every year you expect different results, but
this organization does the same exact thing. And the result
from this year, backing in with the A three wins
means nothing will change in the offseason and we'll go
through it all again. Maybe in eight more years we'll

(15:17):
get another plaif appearance.

Speaker 8 (15:18):
My biggest fear Austin as this becomes well, we were
that close. We don't need many big changes.

Speaker 10 (15:24):
Hey, guys, Jeff new Richmond, a couple of points about
the Reds real quick. I would fire Chris fa lake
It today. I would hire a new hitting coach with
major league success, whether it be Joey Vado or Sean Casey.
I would fire Nick Crawl today. I would bring in
a new GM whose number one directive from ownership is

(15:47):
to sign Kyle Schwarber this offseason, man, and prove to
the fan base that this is just not a one.

Speaker 2 (15:53):
We're on the Schwarber train too much today.

Speaker 11 (15:55):
Al Right, I do think we're gonna hear some hear
about some changes to the Reds coaching staff. I think
we're going to hear about that in the next couple
of days. I heard a great Joey Vado story last night.
It was from Dan Strayley. You remember him, d former picture.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
Yes.

Speaker 11 (16:08):
He said, They're all goofing around in the dugout one
day and Jay, Bruce and Brandon Phillips and they're all laughing,
and Joey's kind of sitting there and he's not making
a sound. And Dan Strayley says, Joey, is that not
funny to you? And Joey just kind of looks at
him and says, not now, Daniel.

Speaker 26 (16:24):
I'm working, Hey, guys, Chris and Alexandria. Here Chris, because
I'm walking down thirty two some unch going back to
the car place to pick get my car. Hey, I
just want to say happy eighth anniversary. My eighth anniversary
to my wife was September seventeenth last month, so right

(16:47):
around the time this show started. I've been listening a
long time. Maybe not eight years, but definitely since it
was a one hour deal. You guys are doing great.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
Keep it up. As far as I'm concerned. You'd listen
to us on a wedding day. Yep.

Speaker 6 (16:59):
Yeah, I remember when since He three sixty debuted and
it was I think jameser Peen and Moegar and I'm like, what.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
Is this crap? Because I was listening to Levatar and
you guys took away the last hour of that show.

Speaker 28 (17:10):
But then I remember when Levatard took over for Colin Cowherd,
and I said the same thing, like, what is this crap?

Speaker 2 (17:16):
So you guys do great job, keep it up, always
enjoy talkbacks. Show is funny. Always keeps me entertained out
here working every day. Keep going.

Speaker 11 (17:27):
Well, thank you, we appreciate that. Ye yeah, all right,

(17:53):
that was nice. All right, that was the first page
of talkbacks. You know what's crazy is I have a
wedding anniversary on Sunday. Yours my wedding anniversary.

Speaker 2 (18:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (18:07):
This show has been in existence longer than I've been married. Yep,
how about that tone, Audie, what's going on show? Congratulations
on the eight years.

Speaker 19 (18:16):
And I heard you guys talking about, you know, doing
a Sincy three sixty appreciation night. Yeah, how about this?
Sincey three sixty golf outing, let's go, let's go out.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
Hit the course, dump some beers. Who says no, I
would love a Sincy three sixty golf outing.

Speaker 6 (18:38):
Yeah, I don't think doo on Sunday that kind of
through the rotation out of whack.

Speaker 13 (18:46):
Congratulations on the eight years.

Speaker 21 (18:49):
Absolutely, I would give a pinky finger to Sincy three sixty.

Speaker 13 (18:54):
If you can work out the details the surgery.

Speaker 2 (18:59):
I would gladly do it. All right, Oh, you guys
have a great show.

Speaker 11 (19:03):
Let's see if we can start talking to a hospital
or and maybe get uh get your pinky on display
in the studio.

Speaker 8 (19:10):
That would be unbelieved. I would like that, I believe
is the first that would be Really, that's the first
gift we've been asked to beget it gifted.

Speaker 11 (19:18):
Oh, we did get a gift from John Michael and
he came in studio with us. Yes, but I'm talking
about it for today, Oh.

Speaker 22 (19:26):
Today, Yeah, Hey guys, Marcus from the Groove Marcus, I
stand behind my comment yesterday Lettel had no business being
out there in a Nation game.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
No, it's the postseason. You have to live or die
by your guy.

Speaker 22 (19:42):
And for the people who keep saying will you throw abbit?

Speaker 2 (19:45):
Who do you throw? Game one?

Speaker 22 (19:47):
If you make it, Brady singers look pretty good. I
think that was a horrible miss by Francona to live
and die by fifth star.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
If you got in the deadline. Yep, Hey, this is
Josh and Hebrew and happy anniversary.

Speaker 29 (20:04):
Yes, guys, you guys are so awesome. You make me
laugh every time I listen to you. You try to
be as objective as you can possibly be. My interest
in sports has waned over the years, sorry to say,
because all of our teams suck, but I continue to
listen to you guys.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
Thank you. Guys are awesome. I hope you have many
more years of doing this show peace. Appreciate that.

Speaker 13 (20:30):
Yeah, it was a great season.

Speaker 24 (20:31):
For the Reds.

Speaker 15 (20:32):
Just think Teto overthink the pitching rotation.

Speaker 3 (20:36):
But I'll give him a break.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
He did make a.

Speaker 6 (20:39):
Bunch of good decisions, and actually the front office make
some good decisions with the acquisitions.

Speaker 3 (20:45):
Since they made it's a trade deadline. Hopefully they may
continue to make some good ones into the off season,
and I think they can take that next step.

Speaker 4 (20:53):
Go Reds and here's to six.

Speaker 2 (20:56):
Let's go.

Speaker 8 (20:58):
Maybe twenty twenty six is the year for the bank
the Reds and since hey.

Speaker 24 (21:01):
Tony, Hey, Hey Jimmy, Hey Jimmy Claws and hey, happy
hey Jimmy, talk to you again. It's just such a
long time, a great show. I appreciate Mike. I appreciate
Mike's call today. That was really good. So the best
Jay ever radio was when the takeover when you're on

(21:21):
the air, the normal Ray Pike takeover.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
Hey, let's get together soon. Man, we'll go out.

Speaker 13 (21:27):
I got you, man.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
Yeah again, Thanks Jimmy. I'm a little I'm a little
lighter today.

Speaker 15 (21:32):
The statement I think we've been way too differential to Francona.
He's made so many mistakes.

Speaker 2 (21:40):
Yeah, but he's a Hall of Fame man, I need
to take the gloves off.

Speaker 15 (21:43):
And second, Brendan Sowresby, he's amazing. Fifth year senior Tony
sounds more like a veteran pro quarterback.

Speaker 2 (21:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (21:51):
I just hope Sadur Biel doesn't blow it.

Speaker 2 (21:55):
Hey, man, obviously you didn't say tweet.

Speaker 30 (21:56):
Earlier in the week, the anniversary of three sixty. I've
only been around for the last couple but happy to
hear you guys have hit your a. I would be
remissed if I didn't mention a couple other anniversaries coming up.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
My daughter, first of all, twenty one tomorrow.

Speaker 30 (22:13):
Okay, in twenty days time, my grandparents will be celebrating
their sixty ninth wedding anniversary. So here's wishing you guys
that kind of lung jevity happy to be anniversary boys.

Speaker 2 (22:23):
Twenty first birthday on a Friday in the fall. Boy
I have had its sister.

Speaker 31 (22:28):
Oh boy, Tom Everyton BABC News, Folks, I have been
missing in action, but as you can hear from the
noisy atmosphere around me, I am in a taxi cab
on my way to Cincinnati to cover the Cincinnati Bengals
against the Detroit Lions. I have been missing in action,
so I'm looking forward to see Joe Burrow and it

(22:49):
is most likely I think four or no Bengals against
the declining Detroit Lions, who lost both their coordinators and
center Tom Everyton BBC.

Speaker 8 (22:58):
News, especially considering there's a game in London this week.
He's gonna be surprised on Sunday.

Speaker 32 (23:08):
Hey, guys, it's reassuring when I hear you guys reciprocate
the same exact puss I had when I.

Speaker 8 (23:13):
Was watching the game last night.

Speaker 24 (23:14):
Little should have been pulled.

Speaker 32 (23:19):
Will Benson being pulled in the middle of that bad.

Speaker 2 (23:22):
Was disrespectful the player crazy, you know.

Speaker 32 (23:26):
Just looking ahead to next year, South Stewart obviously is
going to be probably making this roster, right Can he
just play first base in the h police, I mean
he moves like Sean Casey. He cannot play third.

Speaker 11 (23:40):
Put some respect on the case of course, famously thrown
out from left field on a single one.

Speaker 2 (23:44):
You got to put the respect on Tonys.

Speaker 33 (23:46):
And I reach out to you guys on Twitter about
you know, just the precedent of Mike Brown.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
You know, I know he let he let go uh
Sam White a few years after the Super Bowl.

Speaker 33 (23:57):
So what what do you think would call in your
guys opinion, what do you think would cause him to
go down a similar path with with Zach? So do
you think it's just him losing the locker room or
what else? What other things you think are at play?
And do you think Burrow has a say in that
final decision?

Speaker 11 (24:14):
Sure, I would think Joe would be consulted. I would
think if they continue to get embarrassed, Zach will be fired.

Speaker 8 (24:20):
I think at the end of the day, like you said,
if they play similar to what we've seen over the
last couple of weeks, you can't go thirteen more weeks.

Speaker 11 (24:27):
Especially, I think this Thursday night game against Pittsburgh supposed
to be a wide out game White Bengal National TV. Yep,
if they lay another egg, you got the mini by
might be the time.

Speaker 5 (24:41):
Terry Francona, no doubt about it, as we all know,
Hall of Fame manager. But there's no way around the
fact that Tito had a bad couple of days, bad
couple games. But you know it all started with that celebration.
You back into the playoffs, you get there because the
Mets have an epic color.

Speaker 17 (25:00):
You lose.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
No, no, it's had nothing to do with celebration. You're
allowed to celebrate making the playoffs.

Speaker 20 (25:07):
Quick question for you both, Who do you believe will
be the first team in this decade to bring home
the hardware with the bit of Bengals winning a Super
Bowl with the beat areas winning a World Series?

Speaker 2 (25:20):
Will be FC Cincinnati?

Speaker 20 (25:22):
Will it'll be the Bearcatch winning the National Championship? Who
do you believe will be the first team to bring
home the hardware to Cincinnati in this decade?

Speaker 8 (25:31):
As of right now, it feels to me like f
C Cinnati's the closest Bengals.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
Hi, guys, it's big congratulations on your eighth anniversary.

Speaker 2 (25:43):
Thank you eight is for Joe Morgan.

Speaker 1 (25:46):
Eight is for Jeff Blake. Yeah, and I consider myself
listener number seventy eight. My question what happens with Joe
burrows money as it relates to the cap Do they
just eat all that or do they have some free
cap space? Now, not that Mike Brown would spend anymore.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
What are you talking? Thanks? Let's he talking about? I
don't know he's gonna get his money?

Speaker 7 (26:10):
Not really that concern guys about what's going on with
the Reds and the Bengals. We've been through this for
the past thirty years. I'm moving on to Neo's gentlemen's
gaming versus tea pages. Nappy Boy, Grizzlies go, Nappy Boy, Grizzly.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
Oh Boy, oh boy, shout out man. We're done, Nappy boys.
T pay a break is is what's needed right now.

Speaker 8 (26:41):
We'll get a football on the Natty, will finish up
hour two and we got Tom Gamble and Bob Man, Jean.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
Still now are three and Moeger.
