Speaker 1 (00:00):
Stay, shouldn't.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Is that time for talkbacks? Press the microphone and record
your message for Usta in a 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 sixty. Austin Buddy played that talkback on your screen,

(00:25):
and please try not to Saba Taja.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
All right, here we go, Here we go. Sorry, all right,
just kidding.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
Yeah, he got emotional first talkbacks back and if you
couldn't do it yesterday.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
Yeah, that's actually true.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
So just a little emotional. Yeah, it's trying to hold
it all together here, all right, here we go.

Speaker 4 (00:40):
Hey, guys, it's the it's a zebra here, Elliott, it's
your good friend. He's done a great job in Tony's absence,
and I've been going back to last week.

Speaker 5 (00:47):
I'm sorry I missed the show yesterday.

Speaker 4 (00:49):
But the most frustrating part about this whole Tony situation
is how permanent it is. You know, nothing's ever gonna
change it. No act of God can ever bring Tony
back on this show. I'll never hear his voice on
this show again. It's so frustrating to hear all those
millions of children will never be able to hear them again.

Speaker 5 (01:05):
But so frustrating. Love you, Austin. You're doing a great job.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
Man, you do zeb so good.

Speaker 6 (01:10):
I guess he didn't hear the show yesterday. I miss
the z Mans. He wrote a very nice tweet about
you when you you got canned.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
Did you see that?

Speaker 5 (01:20):
I didn't.

Speaker 4 (01:22):
Sorry to keep bringing the mood down, but again, I
just can't get over how it's just it's so sad
that Tony's never gonna ever, ever, ever be back on
this show. I mean, there's just nothing all those all
those things that were said on Twitter.

Speaker 5 (01:37):
You know, everybody who who.

Speaker 4 (01:39):
Is so sad right now trying to get over Tony
and not being on this show. She's never gonna come
back on it. And that's the hardest part for me.

Speaker 5 (01:47):
But that's all I have to say.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
God bless the z the best.

Speaker 7 (01:55):
Trip Buggety, Tony. I'm glad you're back with Austin Noon
to three. Love it. What about James Madison Bloomington, who's
your's highest ranked ever at number two. Glad you're back, Austin.
You're great, Keep up Sincy three sixty.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
Well, thank you the same question I asked you Austin
about the NFL contenders. Is Indiana a contender?

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Yeah? You think so? You think a sizable gap between
them and Ohio State?

Speaker 6 (02:33):
No, I don't think so. I wasn't sure about Indiana.
Then I just googled Kurt Signett.

Speaker 8 (02:38):
They turned the Long john Silvers and Blue Ash into
a pet creamatorium.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
They did, and they thought we wanted.

Speaker 5 (02:44):
To notice Tony.

Speaker 9 (02:48):

Speaker 3 (03:09):

There used to be a Long Johnson. Now it's like
some pet cremation place. Unbelievab in the otter box.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
It's the voice of the Blue Devils.

Speaker 13 (03:21):

(03:42):
hard and someday maybe you two can take over the
top from Gary and as by by.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
Who are Gary and Ace.

Speaker 3 (03:50):

East Side.

What's up, guys, yes, miss, the show had a tiny
two little two of her on the back. Tony went
on the other side, so glad to hear your voice
and see your back on the radio. Had to google
it to make sure you weren't just filling in. Excited
for both of you to hear the team is back
to This World Series matchup is awesome, so many good
players on both sides. Oddly enough, I met Ason Barger's

(12:16):
and cousins on the beach and Ana Maria last week.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
Gladdie Springer shures are gonna be awesome. That would have
been nice if they would have fired you and then
you were filling in a week later.

Right, Hey, it's Tony here for most back in tomorrow,
said Brenda was unavailable.

Speaker 18 (12:32):
Good morning fellas Brian from LA. It's good to have
you back, Tony. I just want to say, still listening
to the show, but currently in the hospital right now
staring at our newborn baby girl.

That is so beautiful. It's the newest Angles fan that
we got here. Who have a good day?

Speaker 1 (12:54):
Whoa whoa? You don't you don't you don't have to
raise her a Bengals. That is awesomes.

Speaker 6 (13:00):
Angeles, maybe the Rams Seattle over there on the West Coast,
maybe the Chargers Raiders. You don't have to make her
a Bengal fan.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
Man, what a day, though, that's gotta be.

Speaker 17 (13:14):
Who do you guys got in the World Series?

Speaker 8 (13:16):
Do you guys have the team the best team that
money can buy in the Los Angeles Dodgers who have
bought their way to another World Series?

Speaker 5 (13:26):
Or America's team Toronto Bays.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
I got the team with the best player in the world.

Speaker 3 (13:32):
Yeah, I would like Toronto to win, But if I'm betting,
I would say Los Angeles.

Speaker 24 (13:37):
Hey, y'all, it's George Michael again. I haven't called you
on forever and stuff. But I was real sad to
hear about Tony losing his job. But on the bright side,
I thought, well, I'll never have to hear him say
Jaguars again. I can imagine my surprise when I tuned
in yesterday. Here was Tony heard Jaguars all over again.

(13:57):
Don't seem to bother me as much tho as it
used to. Well, anyway, I'm glad you got your job back, Tony.
Love you guys.

Speaker 1 (14:04):
Bye, George Michael, Jake Waters.

Speaker 27 (14:07):
Tony Houstin George from v Town. Hey, Tony Mann, I
turned on the radio yesterday or I heart radio app
and I'm literally thinking I'll listening to a podcast. I'm like, man, Dad,
listen to him over the weekend.

Speaker 5 (14:19):
They're still on there. What's going on right now?

Speaker 27 (14:21):
What was I listened to? I mean, you made me
so excited yesterday. I was excited to turn it on today.

Speaker 5 (14:25):
Get to listen to it on time.

Speaker 27 (14:28):
As for the one thing I would want, I would
think it has to be safety, defensive tackle.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
Get them both.

Speaker 27 (14:33):
We need them both.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
Let's go boys, Tony listen.

Speaker 3 (14:37):
Obviously you'd like to get both. But the question if
you could only get one, if you only had the
chance to get one, which position are you addressing?

Speaker 5 (14:45):
Peppy?

Speaker 23 (14:45):
Patty here from Montgomery and I met in real life yesterday,
and moments later the news broke that Tony was back.

Speaker 1 (14:54):
Coincidence starts an not perhaps we have magic powers, but really.

Speaker 19 (14:59):
We're beyond unhappy for Tony and his family and for
Audi and us listeners that the band's back together.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
Thank you to iHeart for doing the right thing.

Speaker 3 (15:08):
Hooday, thank you for your many, many messages, Patty, I appreciate.

Speaker 23 (15:12):
That, all right, alright, all right, good thing they did
a one eighty.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
There is no three to sixty without TP. Welcome back
to GP. See what you did there to get out.
Good afternoon, Tony. Hi Brian from Mount Washington Here. Brian,
first time talkbacker, longtime listener.

Speaker 5 (15:35):
Was thrilled to hear your voice back on the radio today.

Speaker 28 (15:37):
So I wanted to reach out and let you know
that we're all glad you're back. As far as the
Bengals go, I think the only thing they lead the
NFL in is stadium lease negotiation and having the lowest
non player personnel payroll, and that leads them to their
biggest problems.

Speaker 29 (15:56):
Okay, hey guys, glad to see her back together as
a team on the radio.

Speaker 5 (16:02):
Joy listen to both of you.

Speaker 29 (16:04):
Question for Tony, was wondering if you might help explain
at some point, maybe you could do a segment on
this or part of one the three defense the three
man defensive front that the Bearcats use.

Speaker 10 (16:15):
I just don't get it.

Speaker 29 (16:17):
I think that if they were resorted to something different,
that they wouldn't be run on the way they are.
Let me know your thoughts and ideas about why they
employ that.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
Appreciate it.

Speaker 6 (16:26):
Sounds like a football on the Natty segment, Yep, do
we want to do that next?

Speaker 1 (16:32):
Probably not have time for it next, maybe maybe tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (16:35):
Yeah, I'd be happy to get some time. I'd be
happy to explain the thread write that down.

Speaker 30 (16:39):
Bearcats is short, like you're completely uncalled for an absurd layoff.
But if you parlayed Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Bearcats Bengals FC
Cincinnati all money line, you'll find plus three fifty two
right nowand would sprinkle on it because I'm going.

Speaker 1 (16:59):
To at least a little bit it.

Speaker 30 (17:00):
Mate, You don't who is the one team that's most
likely to screw that up?

Speaker 14 (17:06):
Guys?

Speaker 3 (17:07):
What this Columbus? You throw the record, the records out
the window. I'm confident how the Bearcats are playing jet stink,
even though the record doesn't make sure that I'm.

Speaker 22 (17:17):
Filming glad Tony and also a little dynamic duo back
in action, back a serious inquiry. I made a significant
donation to a go fund me page for Tony's financial

(17:38):
woes during his time. How do I get my refugged?

Speaker 3 (17:47):
That's a great question, that's a great idea.

Speaker 1 (17:51):
Are working today?

Speaker 5 (17:51):
What I wanted to say yesterday? By the way, Tony.

Speaker 31 (17:56):
Welcome back, Tony Pi, Austin. You did a great job,
but it's just not the same without Tony. Sixty three
sixty is Tony Pike and Austin Elmore. You guys are
a staple in this industry and I'm so so happy
you're back.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
Hope you be here forever, right Tony? I hope So
thanks Ice.

Speaker 9 (18:20):
Towny Snackhead Brooks. You must be some kind of big
deal Tony. When I heard you come on in the
area yesterday, I was shocked, and everybody else probably was too,
because I tried to leave a talkback and it wouldn't
take it. Hopefully today it does. I'm glad the team's
back together. Tony and Addie are the best on the radio.

(18:43):
Love you guys, Girth, I love you.

Speaker 10 (18:48):
Is.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
That's an og at talkbacks he.

Speaker 32 (18:50):
And Austin Joe and Baltimore Joe. So I'm glad to
hear Tony back. You two together the best on the radio.
That's part of my workdays. Go by quick, really enjoy it.
Go bet Cat and uh I can't wait to be
jets on Thunder.

Speaker 1 (19:08):
Let's go, Let's go, Let's go, and don't wow.

Speaker 3 (19:13):
They're going way back Todayay go Bert cat Man.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
All right, we're hearing from all the ogs.

Speaker 21 (19:26):
Welcome back, welcome back, Welcome back t Pike.

Speaker 1 (19:32):
That you see Hall of Famer is back. Welcome back
Tony Hey.

Speaker 6 (19:36):
Quick question, how did the Bengals O line get so
good all of a sudden?

Speaker 1 (19:41):
It's crazy how they can keep that up? Kill them Jets.

Speaker 3 (19:45):
Jets need to see more of a more than a
one game sample size, but a step in the right
direction for the old line on Thursday.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
Yeah, Mike an independence here.

Speaker 33 (19:53):
I'd like to think that my email to the upper
brass of iHeart helps spur the this decision, but I'm
pretty sure I was collective or most likely some advertising
dollars came into play to get them back on.

Speaker 1 (20:09):
So welcome back, Tony.

Speaker 33 (20:11):
I do feel bad for James Rapeen, uh not the
only to host the show with no yesterday. I feel
like he was Charlie Brown footballed away from him.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
Poor James. You don't know that.

Speaker 10 (20:21):
Feeling newly elected, dictated John going the first of all,
Tony's Pike, I did pull some strings to get you
back on the air. What can I say except you're welcome. Secondly, Audie,
I am so sorry that you lost your first gig
hosting radio show.

Speaker 1 (20:40):
Oh my god, Tony, it's the Lord.

Speaker 17 (20:42):
Hey.

Speaker 12 (20:43):
The standpoint and viewpoint also come back to sin.

Speaker 1 (20:50):
Good point. Hey, I was wondering if we throw temper tantrums?

Speaker 5 (20:55):
Can we get Tracy Jones back? Oh boy boy, happy
to have you back.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
T Bone, Well, thank you.

Speaker 5 (21:04):
I miss Tracy too.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
Well, yeah, you wouldn't get my hopes up on that one.
That was our last one one segment for NATTI. You
putball in the NATTI or standpoint and viewpoint coming back
to We'll get.

Speaker 3 (21:20):
The viewpoint of where Scott Siderfield view Saturday's game and
his standpoint to start our number three. You'll hear his
audio from today on ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station with.

Speaker 21 (21:31):
Deve Lapham's enshrimement into the Bengals Ring of Honor. We
pay tribute to the Life of lap presented by Skyline
Feeling Good against Skyline Time. Now here's Dan.

Speaker 5 (21:43):
And d Lap.

Speaker 3 (21:44):
You are known for your boisterous enthusiasm in the booth,
but there's no better X's and o's analyst in the NFL.

Speaker 15 (21:50):
Describe your approach as a broadcaster.

Speaker 34 (21:53):
It's probably a lot like yours, Dan, I mean, we
both went to the new House School of Communications at
Syracuse University. The best there is preparing people to enter
the broadcast world knowing everything there is to know about
what you're doing, what you're broadcasting. I don't care if
it's Tiddliwinks or you know, the super Bowl, having an
understanding of who the competitors are, what makes them great,

(22:15):
and honestly, I mean it's just energy and enthusiasm for
the game. Just comes from love of the game and
do it in a way that you know the audience
appreciates that.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
Oh man, he really likes the game.

Speaker 21 (22:26):
For more on the life of Lap, keep it here
on ESPN fifteen thirty, the official home of the Cincinnati Bengals.

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
