In tone, please keep it clean and don't be mean, and.
Speaker 3 (00:10):

It's our favorite parter since three sixty.
Speaker 4 (00:20):
So Austin, buddy, play those.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Talkbacks on your screen and please try out to sabotage.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Sitting down the hall.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Last night, Austin, it occurred to me just how lucky
we are to have the talkback audience that we have
here on ESPN fifteen thirty. I don't think talkbacks could
happen on the other station. Oh no, they absolutely cannot.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
We're lucky and we're thankful. I mean, you want to
talk about awful. I've heard terrible, I've heard.
Speaker 5 (00:50):
Vile things the talkbacks down the hall. We would lose
the license in seconds second.
Speaker 6 (00:58):
It's the Lord happy Day.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Couldn't save us either.
Speaker 6 (01:01):
I have a start bench cut for you, Tony and Austin,
and for talkback nations. Okay, Christmas villains, Oh, Scrooge, the Grinch, Jack.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Frost Man, that's good. I think the best villain was Scrooge,
and it made the ending so much better. When when
he wakes up after his third visit and a tone
for all the wrong he's done. I think you can
make the same argument for the Grinch. I'll start Scrooge,
I will bench the Grinch, and I'll cut Jack Frost.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Is there any such thing as an actual Christmas villain?
Great question?
Speaker 2 (01:37):
They all change at the end. Is there one that
doesn't change out there?
Speaker 5 (01:42):
I'll start the Grinch, bench Scrooge, and I honestly don't
know that much about old Jack Frost other than he's
been nipping at my nose.
Speaker 7 (01:49):
Tony and Austin, this is big kahuna in Kentucky. Hey,
Bengal fans, I got some bad news for you. Y'all
ain't winning no six games to finish out the season.
I'm sorry. You know why because for some reason the
Heen Doune moved on from Cave York In that good
luck charm was five and oh last year. That's some
bad karma right there. Should have kept him. Hay, Steeler fans,
don't be booing future Hall of Famer Mike Tomlin. Don't
(02:10):
boo sticks, don't do renegade. What you should do is
boo yourselves.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Do it.
Speaker 7 (02:14):
Put down that triple cheeseburger, go the mirror and say boo.
And while you're at it, go boo your mother.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
Oh hezel to Austin. That's a pretty good kahuna impression.
A quick Google search you come up with the following.
Scott Farcas who he was the bully and Chris allowed
to say that, Yes, Scott Farcas Christmas story bully. We
don't like bullies around here, Harry Marv. They never really
had toned for anything. They were villains. They got what
(02:41):
was coming to him. Hans Gruber from Die Hard Okay,
could fall in the same category. What about Kevin's brother
Buzz Buzz was a bully too? He did you know
you could bully him? Oogie Boogie's kidnapped, Sannah?
Speaker 1 (02:53):
What'd you call him? Ugie Boogie? Oh? I always called
him Ugie Boogie.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Oh maybe Augi Boogie Boogie Oky Boogie.
Speaker 8 (03:03):
The only bad thing about listening to fifteen thirty is
having to listen to the Chris Canty promise. You know,
and that's not even his full name. His real name
is Chris Canty.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
Shut the hell up, Wow, go Muskies, can't He's actually
been nice to the Bengals.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
He has he's changed.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Former President Ronald Reagan and Wale. I wouldn't get too
excited about Kyle Schwarber coming to Cincinnati. I mean, I
don't know if he has any connections here or not.
I don't even know where he's from.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
But it's not like.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
He's hello, Hello.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
True he is from Middletown though, former.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Gratulations to Brian Hartline. That's a well deserved opportunity. And
as far as Kyle Schwarber to the Reds and the
words of Michael Scott, no doubt about it. I'm ready
to get hurt again.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
No doubt about it, no doub about it.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
I think it's more applicable to to Scott's tots, Nick
crawl is Michael Scott and.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Have you, uh did you have a chance over the
break to check in on the Chris Henry.
Speaker 9 (04:10):
News and hope it goes away, okay, and hope the
paperwork is just kind of like a just lost and okay,
it's like just to send it to Hugh Jackson thing.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Yeah, hey, Tony, just a quick follow up to something
you mentioned to start the show. If you guys already
mentioned this in the meantime, apologies, but Brian Harline actually
did interview for the Cincinnati job. Yeah, before they hired
Scott Siderfield.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Yeah, I know, just because interview, Like would he have
taken it right?
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Like he wasn't offered right, he wasn't offered.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
I wonder if he would have taken her if Just
sometimes people interview just to kind of go through that
process and get an understanding of it.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
That's just another one that John Cunningham just absolutely nailed.
High energy how Wi.
Speaker 10 (04:56):
Field, Williams, Darnel Burton V and the amazing Lazelle Dirton.
I miss the days when an open shooter is gonna
knock down that three six, seven threes a game consistent.
When you played it ranked opponent, you thought you're gonna
beat them. Yep, not anymore.
Speaker 11 (05:17):
Man.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
I miss those days. I'll tell you.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
From all the basketball I watch, usually when three point
shooters are left open, they do make the shot.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
You need to make your shots, and you're you.
Speaker 12 (05:29):
Guys, well the cast the losers have been in charge
of this Reds team for twenty years. They run this
organization into the ground. They've stomped on the traditions, the
rich history of this I think they're finally starting to
feel the heat from the fan base.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
I hope they are.
Speaker 12 (05:51):
I hope they feel like they have to sign Kyle Schwarber,
and I hope it gets done.
Speaker 13 (05:57):
Come on, hey, tye boys, I want to give you
a little bit of the sprinkle sprinkled drip Drip. This
is Walker from the West Side, and we'll af be
thinking about betting the Bengals to win the division, don't
They're plus eight fifty great value, sure, but if you
think they're going to win out to get there, you
might as well keep doubling up your money and bet
the money line every single time from here until there
after the end of this week. You would have bet
(06:18):
a ten dollars bet, you'd be up to thirty two.
Double that up you'd be up to about seventy five.
You're already at your value there, So keep doubling up, boys,
let's go.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Okay, Well, thank you for that.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
We had an interesting discussion in our family last week
while we were watching the first two parts of The Godfather.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Wow, that.
Speaker 14 (06:43):
The first Godfather a Christmas movie.
Speaker 6 (06:47):
Oh, Christmas decorations, there's Christmas shopping, there's Christmas lights.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
That's a good point.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
Oh, it's a Christmas movie.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
I don't think I view it as a Christmas movie.
But I also don't view Harry Potter as a Christmas
movie while others do because it was filmed during like
Christmas time, like there's Christmas trees and Christmas break and
all that. I still view it as a Christmas movie
just because of that.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
I've never seen the guyfam Yo.
Speaker 15 (07:13):
We got them shaking in a buffalo boots weapon the
city out here, Sonny hot.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
So what up, Tony?
Speaker 9 (07:18):
What updy man?
Speaker 15 (07:19):
I've been listening to Bill's podcast, and man, sounds like
they a little bit nervous. These fans out there. They
a little bit scared. You should be just like Wes.
You should be scared. On Friday, you better.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Get this win against Avery g.
Speaker 15 (07:30):
Time is ticking on you, man, just like coach sat
y'all already know how I feel about him. I'm out
the door with that coach already. And Yo, Reds get
swore home. I want to see if he can hit
one of Kentucky in great American small park.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
I bet he could. We're not trying to hit.
Speaker 16 (07:46):
Home made in the Sorry this morning, welcome back. It
was a great trip to Utah, but as as always,
It's good to get back home, but not happy about
my wild Cats. I do know Mark Pope, Come on, dude,
uh excited for Sunday with the Bengals. If they win Sunday,
(08:08):
I think they got a really good chance to make
the playoffs.
Speaker 11 (08:11):
So Whoday, go Reds And I guess.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Oh no, he didn't even get it in he said,
I guess. I guess.
Speaker 17 (08:19):
Man, Hey, Tony, I heard you announce on the radio
today that you were going to the Christmas party. That's
kind of surprising. I didn't think new employees within the
first ninety days as they were new hire where we're.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Allowed to go. That's valid point. You should well you
should put a name tag on tonight. Hi, I'm Tony.
Tony go to beach. I've been in a double months,
talst guy in the room, been here a couple of months.
How are you You know something?
Speaker 15 (08:44):
When I was growing up the cross Town Shoot, I
was very spec.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
You actually have to do that to a couple of
our people, sales folks. Just reintroduce me.
Speaker 15 (08:54):
You know something. When I was growing up the cross
Town Shoot, I was very special.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Yep. He used to shut down in the city.
Speaker 15 (09:00):
I can remember getting the Cincinnati inquired or the Cincinnati
Post goes straight to the sports section article and just
read about UC and Xavier. Yes, sitting here wondering, man,
how my bearcat's gonna beat the Musketeers. And we already
know what Chalnent was gonna be on. He was either
on channel nine or Channel nineteen. That's how it was.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Back then.
Speaker 15 (09:18):
It had significant meaning. Now it's a rival with no
meaning on the load you see by ten.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
I also, like I've said this before, I think that
the new age of sports hurts it as well. You
don't have guys that have been in the rivalry for
three or four years that see it and build up
to it. You got guys that have been in Cincinnati
a couple months, and that takes away from it as well.
And both teams are not very good.
Speaker 11 (09:42):
Afternoon boys, Austin, you were supposed to be in charge
of keeping track and checking your boy Tony. He just
quoted from an article saying it would be quite the
coupe if the Reds could get Schwarber. Yeah, I was
waiting for you to chime in and tell him that
that is not proper use of the wordage. So we're
(10:02):
gonna need you to step up your game. Son.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Yeah, there gets to point everyone's life where you just
try enough and you give up.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
I do appreciate you calling me out and I want that.
That being said, I have tried sometimes times with Tony
and it goes in one ear and out the other. Yep,
And so I've given up.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Yep.
Speaker 5 (10:23):
And you know, if he wants to make a fool
of himself, thank you's you go right ahead.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Thank you. Doesn't matter if he gets fired, he gets rehired.
For one's doing well today. Question for you fellas, who plays.
Speaker 11 (10:36):
Another snap first the rest of the season, Jamar Stewart
or Trey Henderson Stewart.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
I don't think Trey will ever play again for the things.
Speaker 15 (10:44):
I don't know how.
Speaker 18 (10:45):
Much you pay attention to the online chatter, but there's
a pretty funny thing going on right now. And I
don't understand the NFL's dress code rules and all that,
but the idea of the Bengals going ninja mode and
wearing all white if there's snow in Buffalo, I find
pretty dang funny.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Is that a thing?
Speaker 5 (11:06):
All that stuff has to be announced ahead of time.
So my understanding is how it works is that the
teams submit what uniforms they want to wear for each
game in June, and then between June and the start
of the regular season, it's all ironed out. You know,
if a team wants if the Bengals want to wear
all white at home, then the other team will wear
(11:28):
their dark uniform and blah blah blah blah blah. So
the Bengals have known that they're gonna wear the all
white jersey and pants combination for a while, I would
think now, I do think that the pants are decided
on like the week of for the most part, but
the other stuff has to be submitted to the league previously.
(11:51):
So actually, the Bengals are wearing their orange helmets. Okay,
so they're not wearing the white helmets this week. They're
wearing their white jerseys with white pants and the black
Here's what's interesting about that. The Bengals have not worn
that combination in back to back regular season games since
they got the new uniforms. The only time in the
(12:13):
history of these new uniforms twenty twenty one on that
they have worn this exact combination the exact same in
back to back games was the twenty twenty one playoffs
when they were at Tennessee and at Kansas City in
the divisional round in the AFC Championship game.
Speaker 19 (12:31):
Okay, hey, the top ranking Tony in Austin, Tony, congratulations
on sixth nationally from Awful announcing on Best College Duo
announcer broadcast does Austin. If I was you, I would
take Tony to a nice dinner to celebrate.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Now that reminds me, for whatever reason, of that voice Austin.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
Also, I think they wore them back to back in
the twenty two playoffs as well, which would have been
the win in Buffalo and then the AFC Championship Game
in Kansas City, So back to back postseasons.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
I'm sorry, Tony Conin.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Did you hear yesterday at all from George from the Valley?
Speaker 1 (13:11):
No? Okay, he ain't got the guts to show up. Okay.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
We haven't talked about this though, that you're number six,
number six, yeah, big time, number one in the Big twelve,
number one in the Big twelve.
Speaker 9 (13:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
No, I'm not taking Tony out to a nice dinner.
He's the one who makes the big bucks.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
I was gonna say, I think Tony needs to take
Dan out the day. Yeah, I'm just and Ben Jarvis
brad ellis.
Speaker 6 (13:35):
Oh man, it's the Lord doing a double dip. I
didn't get to hear Zach Taylor's press conference. Oh what's
the latest on Tea Higgins?
Speaker 5 (13:46):
Guy just exists without the Internet god, which I appreciate.
I appreciate it. Yeah, you're supposed to be omnipotent. He's limited.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Okay, boys get one.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Dick Christmas vacation.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
War or Bengals make the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Bengals Reds, the rest of the Reds are not.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
What if it's like Bengals to the super Bowl, then yes.
If the Bengals get in and lose in the first round,
I'm still taking Swarbur.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
That's not the question.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
It is do they make the playoffs or do the
Reds get Kyle Swarber.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
I think I'll take Swarburg.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
Do you think if the Bengals make the playoffs in
a potentially a playoff situation without Patrick Mahomes and without
Lamar Jackson, you betting against the Bengals in the AFC?
Speaker 1 (14:35):
No?
Speaker 5 (14:36):
Okay, no, but that would mean that they would get
back to the super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
But I think that the Reds are a playoff team
and a contender with why do you think that they
have no relievers at the moment they can add relievers
s they'll have money left.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
They know they won't. Yeah, it's a good question though, Bengals.
Speaker 18 (14:52):
Okay, just a reminder Bearcats eight thousand, There we have
days and.
Speaker 9 (14:58):
There we.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
M hm well said, not so fun when the Rabbits
got the gun hunt Tom, that's true I can say
about that.
Speaker 20 (15:08):
I wanted to ask you guys something. Do either one
of you guys ever watch like high school or college wrestling.
We have some of the best in the country just
in this area, just like it is just like football.
And if you guys get a chance to go out
and support a local high school, I think you would
be impressed about just the camaraderie in that in that
(15:28):
whole community of wrestlers. So if you get a chance,
go out and check it out.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
I have not gotten in I know that under Dick Engles,
toute legit reading. Reading was always a contender in wrestling.
I remember that Charlie Moore Invitational happened all the time.
I would always go up to the Charlie more Invitational
and check things out. Reading coach actually wanted me to
come out for wrestling at one point because he said
I was gangly. Gangs turned gangly. That means long arms,
(15:54):
long legs. He said, I'd have been tough to get to.
It would have been tough to get to, but I
played basketball instead played I don't know if really he
didn't play that play.
Speaker 14 (16:04):
Totally agree with you, guys. You got to get the
Schwarmer thing done. Trade Brady Singer and another one of
the arbitration eligible guys to free up your money. That's
about fifteen sixteen million. Trade those guys off. It's time
for the young guys Chase Burns and Rett Louder to
be in the rotation. Anyway, love what Brady Singer did,
but that's the move you need to make the free
up the cash if you truly can't go above that
(16:24):
twenty million, that's what they need to do. And I
have it on good authority, Big Kahunah and Kentucky. If
he hasn't already chimed in, he will clap back tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
No Kahuna really, he really doesn't need to leave. No
more talkbacks like ever again. Come on brill it.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
But yeah, all right, that's it. Was it football in
the ninety is next. We'll talk to some college hoops
and out come in yet, Chris Henry, take your phone
calls five one three seven fifteen way five one three seven,
fifteen thirty.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Yeah, that's right on the whole How many times you
say that? Last night fifteen thirty? Just once?
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Second time going to break? First time, I was so
locked in on the number second break, I gave the
wrong one. But at seven four nine, fifteen thirty, give
us a call. We'll talk to you an hour, number
three on ESPN fifteen thirty, Cincinnati Sports Station.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
From the Court,
It's that time for talkbacks.
Speaker 2 (00:02):

beat them. Yep, not anymore.
Speaker 11 (05:17):
Man.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
I miss those days. I'll tell you.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
From all the basketball I watch, usually when three point
shooters are left open, they do make the shot.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
You need to make your shots, and you're you.
Speaker 12 (05:29):
Guys, well the cast the losers have been in charge
of this Reds team for twenty years. They run this
organization into the ground. They've stomped on the traditions, the
rich history of this I think they're finally starting to
feel the heat from the fan base.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
I hope they are.
Speaker 12 (05:51):
I hope they feel like they have to sign Kyle Schwarber,
and I hope it gets done.
Speaker 13 (05:57):
Come on, hey, tye boys, I want to give you
a little bit of the sprinkle sprinkled drip Drip. This
is Walker from the West Side, and we'll af be
thinking about betting the Bengals to win the division, don't
They're plus eight fifty great value, sure, but if you
think they're going to win out to get there, you
might as well keep doubling up your money and bet
the money line every single time from here until there
after the end of this week. You would have bet
(06:18):
a ten dollars bet, you'd be up to thirty two.
Double that up you'd be up to about seventy five.
You're already at your value there, So keep doubling up, boys,
let's go.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Okay, Well, thank you for that.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
We had an interesting discussion in our family last week
while we were watching the first two parts of The Godfather.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Wow, that.
Speaker 14 (06:43):
The first Godfather a Christmas movie.
Speaker 6 (06:47):
Oh, Christmas decorations, there's Christmas shopping, there's Christmas lights.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
That's a good point.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
Oh, it's a Christmas movie.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
I don't think I view it as a Christmas movie.
But I also don't view Harry Potter as a Christmas
movie while others do because it was filmed during like
Christmas time, like there's Christmas trees and Christmas break and
all that. I still view it as a Christmas movie
just because of that.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
I've never seen the guyfam Yo.
Speaker 15 (07:13):
We got them shaking in a buffalo boots weapon the
city out here, Sonny hot.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
So what up, Tony?
Speaker 9 (07:18):
What updy man?
Speaker 15 (07:19):
I've been listening to Bill's podcast, and man, sounds like
they a little bit nervous. These fans out there. They
a little bit scared. You should be just like Wes.
You should be scared. On Friday, you better.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Get this win against Avery g.
Speaker 15 (07:30):
Time is ticking on you, man, just like coach sat
y'all already know how I feel about him. I'm out
the door with that coach already. And Yo, Reds get
swore home. I want to see if he can hit
one of Kentucky in great American small park.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
I bet he could. We're not trying to hit.
Speaker 16 (07:46):
Home made in the Sorry this morning, welcome back. It
was a great trip to Utah, but as as always,
It's good to get back home, but not happy about
my wild Cats. I do know Mark Pope, Come on, dude,
uh excited for Sunday with the Bengals. If they win Sunday,
(08:08):
I think they got a really good chance to make
the playoffs.
Speaker 11 (08:11):
So Whoday, go Reds And I guess.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Oh no, he didn't even get it in he said,
I guess. I guess.
Speaker 17 (08:19):
Man, Hey, Tony, I heard you announce on the radio
today that you were going to the Christmas party. That's
kind of surprising. I didn't think new employees within the
first ninety days as they were new hire where we're.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Allowed to go. That's valid point. You should well you
should put a name tag on tonight. Hi, I'm Tony.
Tony go to beach. I've been in a double months,
talst guy in the room, been here a couple of months.
How are you You know something?
Speaker 15 (08:44):
When I was growing up the cross Town Shoot, I
was very spec.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
You actually have to do that to a couple of
our people, sales folks. Just reintroduce me.
Speaker 15 (08:54):
You know something. When I was growing up the cross
Town Shoot, I was very special.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Yep. He used to shut down in the city.
Speaker 15 (09:00):
I can remember getting the Cincinnati inquired or the Cincinnati
Post goes straight to the sports section article and just
read about UC and Xavier. Yes, sitting here wondering, man,
how my bearcat's gonna beat the Musketeers. And we already
know what Chalnent was gonna be on. He was either
on channel nine or Channel nineteen. That's how it was.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Back then.
Speaker 15 (09:18):
It had significant meaning. Now it's a rival with no
meaning on the load you see by ten.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
I also, like I've said this before, I think that
the new age of sports hurts it as well. You
don't have guys that have been in the rivalry for
three or four years that see it and build up
to it. You got guys that have been in Cincinnati
a couple months, and that takes away from it as well.
And both teams are not very good.
Speaker 11 (09:42):
Afternoon boys, Austin, you were supposed to be in charge
of keeping track and checking your boy Tony. He just
quoted from an article saying it would be quite the
coupe if the Reds could get Schwarber. Yeah, I was
waiting for you to chime in and tell him that
that is not proper use of the wordage. So we're
(10:02):
gonna need you to step up your game. Son.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Yeah, there gets to point everyone's life where you just
try enough and you give up.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
I do appreciate you calling me out and I want that.
That being said, I have tried sometimes times with Tony
and it goes in one ear and out the other. Yep,
And so I've given up.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Yep.
Speaker 5 (10:23):
And you know, if he wants to make a fool
of himself, thank you's you go right ahead.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Thank you. Doesn't matter if he gets fired, he gets rehired.
For one's doing well today. Question for you fellas, who plays.
Speaker 11 (10:36):
Another snap first the rest of the season, Jamar Stewart
or Trey Henderson Stewart.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
I don't think Trey will ever play again for the things.
Speaker 15 (10:44):
I don't know how.
Speaker 18 (10:45):
Much you pay attention to the online chatter, but there's
a pretty funny thing going on right now. And I
don't understand the NFL's dress code rules and all that,
but the idea of the Bengals going ninja mode and
wearing all white if there's snow in Buffalo, I find
pretty dang funny.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Is that a thing?
Speaker 5 (11:06):
All that stuff has to be announced ahead of time.
So my understanding is how it works is that the
teams submit what uniforms they want to wear for each
game in June, and then between June and the start
of the regular season, it's all ironed out. You know,
if a team wants if the Bengals want to wear
all white at home, then the other team will wear
(11:28):
their dark uniform and blah blah blah blah blah. So
the Bengals have known that they're gonna wear the all
white jersey and pants combination for a while, I would
think now, I do think that the pants are decided
on like the week of for the most part, but
the other stuff has to be submitted to the league previously.
(11:51):
So actually, the Bengals are wearing their orange helmets. Okay,
so they're not wearing the white helmets this week. They're
wearing their white jerseys with white pants and the black
Here's what's interesting about that. The Bengals have not worn
that combination in back to back regular season games since
they got the new uniforms. The only time in the
(12:13):
history of these new uniforms twenty twenty one on that
they have worn this exact combination the exact same in
back to back games was the twenty twenty one playoffs
when they were at Tennessee and at Kansas City in
the divisional round in the AFC Championship game.
Speaker 19 (12:31):
Okay, hey, the top ranking Tony in Austin, Tony, congratulations
on sixth nationally from Awful announcing on Best College Duo
announcer broadcast does Austin. If I was you, I would
take Tony to a nice dinner to celebrate.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Now that reminds me, for whatever reason, of that voice Austin.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
Also, I think they wore them back to back in
the twenty two playoffs as well, which would have been
the win in Buffalo and then the AFC Championship Game
in Kansas City, So back to back postseasons.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
I'm sorry, Tony Conin.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Did you hear yesterday at all from George from the Valley?
Speaker 1 (13:11):
No? Okay, he ain't got the guts to show up. Okay.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
We haven't talked about this though, that you're number six,
number six, yeah, big time, number one in the Big twelve,
number one in the Big twelve.
Speaker 9 (13:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
No, I'm not taking Tony out to a nice dinner.
He's the one who makes the big bucks.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
I was gonna say, I think Tony needs to take
Dan out the day. Yeah, I'm just and Ben Jarvis
brad ellis.
Speaker 6 (13:35):
Oh man, it's the Lord doing a double dip. I
didn't get to hear Zach Taylor's press conference. Oh what's
the latest on Tea Higgins?
Speaker 5 (13:46):
Guy just exists without the Internet god, which I appreciate.
I appreciate it. Yeah, you're supposed to be omnipotent. He's limited.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Okay, boys get one.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Dick Christmas vacation.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
War or Bengals make the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Bengals Reds, the rest of the Reds are not.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
What if it's like Bengals to the super Bowl, then yes.
If the Bengals get in and lose in the first round,
I'm still taking Swarbur.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
That's not the question.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
It is do they make the playoffs or do the
Reds get Kyle Swarber.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
I think I'll take Swarburg.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
Do you think if the Bengals make the playoffs in
a potentially a playoff situation without Patrick Mahomes and without
Lamar Jackson, you betting against the Bengals in the AFC?
Speaker 1 (14:35):
No?
Speaker 5 (14:36):
Okay, no, but that would mean that they would get
back to the super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
But I think that the Reds are a playoff team
and a contender with why do you think that they
have no relievers at the moment they can add relievers
s they'll have money left.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
They know they won't. Yeah, it's a good question though, Bengals.
Speaker 18 (14:52):
Okay, just a reminder Bearcats eight thousand, There we have
days and.
Speaker 9 (14:58):
There we.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
M hm well said, not so fun when the Rabbits
got the gun hunt Tom, that's true I can say
about that.
Speaker 20 (15:08):
I wanted to ask you guys something. Do either one
of you guys ever watch like high school or college wrestling.
We have some of the best in the country just
in this area, just like it is just like football.
And if you guys get a chance to go out
and support a local high school, I think you would
be impressed about just the camaraderie in that in that
(15:28):
whole community of wrestlers. So if you get a chance,
go out and check it out.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
I have not gotten in I know that under Dick Engles,
toute legit reading. Reading was always a contender in wrestling.
I remember that Charlie Moore Invitational happened all the time.
I would always go up to the Charlie more Invitational
and check things out. Reading coach actually wanted me to
come out for wrestling at one point because he said
I was gangly. Gangs turned gangly. That means long arms,
(15:54):
long legs. He said, I'd have been tough to get to.
It would have been tough to get to, but I
played basketball instead played I don't know if really he
didn't play that play.
Speaker 14 (16:04):
Totally agree with you, guys. You got to get the
Schwarmer thing done. Trade Brady Singer and another one of
the arbitration eligible guys to free up your money. That's
about fifteen sixteen million. Trade those guys off. It's time
for the young guys Chase Burns and Rett Louder to
be in the rotation. Anyway, love what Brady Singer did,
but that's the move you need to make the free
up the cash if you truly can't go above that
(16:24):
twenty million, that's what they need to do. And I
have it on good authority, Big Kahunah and Kentucky. If
he hasn't already chimed in, he will clap back tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
No Kahuna really, he really doesn't need to leave. No
more talkbacks like ever again. Come on brill it.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
But yeah, all right, that's it. Was it football in
the ninety is next. We'll talk to some college hoops
and out come in yet, Chris Henry, take your phone
calls five one three seven fifteen way five one three seven,
fifteen thirty.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Yeah, that's right on the whole How many times you
say that? Last night fifteen thirty? Just once?
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Second time going to break? First time, I was so
locked in on the number second break, I gave the
wrong one. But at seven four nine, fifteen thirty, give
us a call. We'll talk to you an hour, number

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
