Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Tony Pike Cincy three sixty about Cincinnati from Cincinnati,
sponsored in hard by Penn Station East Coast Subs. Handcraft
It hot grilled subs, fresh cut fries and lemonade. It's
all about good taste. Penn Station East Coast Subs orderum
mine today. This is ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
All right, welcome back. It is our three and we
thank our friends at Penn Station. Thank you for listening
on ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station or via the
iHeartRadio app. Obviously, we've talked all week about the Cincinnati Bengals.
We'll talk more about the Bengals over the next couple
of days, as well as a big matchup coming to
Clifton between UC and BYU. What we have not done

(00:49):
yet is really dive into the college basketball world. And
there are some things happening locally that we do need
to discuss, and we'll do so in this hour. We'll
talk about the matchup on Friday night. Today and tomorrow
you'll hear a conversation that Pat Kelsey had with Lance
McCallister last night, the head coach of Louisville. As they
get ready to come to Heritage Bank Arena and tomorrow.

(01:10):
As of now, we are said to have Wes Miller
on the show to get a bearcat perspective of the
matchup coming to Heritage Bank Arena on Friday between UC
and Louisville. Of course, it is a busy Friday in
the Queen City and a busy weekend. Elder Saint X
has been moved to pay Course Stadium on Friday night.
Big noon kickoff comes to Clifton on Saturday and then

(01:32):
an eight pm start. Follow that with a one o'clock
start for the Bengals and the New England Patriots. And
it's back the MLS playoffs Sunday night, TQL Stadium, FC
Cincinnati and Inner Miami with Lionel Messi coming into town.
This is different, right Austin. This is a winning one

(01:53):
and done. This is no longer a three game series anymore?

Speaker 3 (01:55):
Correct?

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Okay, winning, you're done, whenning, you move on, lose in
your seasons right now. In the MLS last night, Xavier
and Kentucky both in action, both with far different results.
Let's start with the Xavier Musketeers who came in, as
I believe, just a nine and a half or ten
and a half point favorite against Old Dominion. Xavier was

(02:18):
coming off back to back losses against Santa Clara and Iowa.
They are looking ahead. Just a couple of days they
take on Georgia, which is a common opponent between both
UC and Xavier in the non conference schedule. It was
Richard Patino's two hundred and fiftieth career win as an
NCAA coach last night, and they did so in big fashion.

(02:40):
They jumped on Old Dominion early. They led fifty one
to twenty nine at half en route to a ninety
nine to sixty nine win at the Sintas Center. Four
different Xavier Musketeers all had twenty points in the game.
That is insane. Four different Xavier Musketeers all eclipse the

(03:00):
twenty point plateau. This is what Richard Patino had to
say after last night's win.

Speaker 4 (03:07):
First and foremost, thank you to our amazing fans. That
was not a very pretty drive over with the weather,
so to get over nine thousand just shows especially how
we played the you know, the last time we're in
this building, So very very appreciative of how loyal loyal
our fans are, and you know, also want to give

(03:28):
a great shout out to Bob colehep. You know, I
know it's the twenty fifth year anniversary of.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
This building opening up.

Speaker 4 (03:35):
This is one of the reasons I took the job
was to have an on campus facility, you know, just
right in the middle, you know, the heart of campus.
I know Bob really fought for that, and I think
it's impacted this community in an amazing way. So his
vision not only changed the basketball program, but it changed
Xavier and very very appreciative of that. It's an amazing

(03:57):
home court. We played great basket all today. Certainly twenty
nine assists, amazing. Four guys in twenty points. I don't
know if I've ever seen that, So a lot of
really good things. Rebounded the basketball very very well, and
you know, very very proud.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
Of the guys.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
Twenty nine assists to just nine turnovers will win you
a lot of basketball games. They out rebounded Old Dominion
by twenty five more steals. They blocked the ball, they
rebounded the ball. It was just and that was it
looked like a different Xavier team. And again it's a
one game sample size, but Richard Patino is a good
college basketball coach. This team is going to continue to

(04:36):
get better. I also thought it was interesting kind of
mixing around the starting lineup. Richard Patino said last night,
I'm trying to establish a culture in year one of
how we want to play, and that culture is okay,
let's let's figure out the five that work. And kudos
to Richard Patino who last night was able to do
that for the Xavier Musketeers. Again, it's a quicker turnaround.

(04:58):
It's a Friday night game for the Xavier Musketeers as
they take on Georgia that is part of the Shriners
Children's Charleston's Charleston Classic. I believe the way that is
set up, I'm gonna pull up the bracket right now,
I believe they would play. If they win or lose,

(05:22):
they're gonna play one of the two of West Virginia
or Clemson as well. So Xavier will play Friday against
Georgia and then they will turn around on Sunday and
play either West Virginia or Clemson. Which is odd because
Clemson is also a non conference opponent of the Cincinnati
Bearcats as well, so potentially Xavier and U SEE both

(05:42):
will be playing in the non conference Georgia and Clemson
Xavier wins. We cannot say the same Austin. For the
Kentucky Wildcats last night, I wouldn't even say beaten. I
would say smashed, demolished in all phases of the game.
They went into the game smashed very often. They went
into the game against Michigan State as a favorite and

(06:04):
Michigan State dominated from start to finish. Forty four to
twenty seven was the lead at half. That is the
lead that it stayed throughout the game, eighty three sixty six.
Tom Izzo and the Michigan State Spartans have a win
already on this early season. It's not as highly ranked
of an early team for Michigan State, but they will be.

(06:26):
They beat Arkansas and last night they took care of Kentucky.
Kentucky I thought looked disjointed. I thought they looked lost
at times. They do not play well together. Yet I
know that that they're still getting guys back in the fold.
I believe that they still have some injuries that they're
dealing with, and not that that gives you any type

(06:50):
of freedom or any longer leash. I know Jayden Quinton's
is not playing yet, and I know that's a big
part of who they are and who they're going to
be inside. But nonetheless, I know they had a lot
of top fifteen wins last year. I know Mark Pope
has done some good things Austin. There is a precedent
set when you spend twenty two million dollars on a

(07:11):
roster that you're gonna win games, And so far this season,
in their toughest games, they were not close for much
of the game against Louisville, and they were not close
last night against Michigan State. It's a Kentucky team that
in the non conference still has to play North Carolina, Gonzaga,

(07:31):
Saint John's before getting into SEC play and starting at Alabama.
Those are all teams ranked in the top eighteen in
the country. So Kentucky has a lot of work to do.
They've got a lot to figure out. Do we have
the audio of Mark Pope with Jeff Goodman after the
game last night?

Speaker 3 (07:46):
We do? All right, that's what this sounds like.

Speaker 5 (07:48):
What are you going through right now in terms of
the frustration after this loss.

Speaker 6 (07:54):
Well, I don't want to take away anthony from Michigan say,
because Tom is one of the great coaches in college
of basketball. Those guys played tough and together and hard
and played well. So you know, mostly just credit those
guys and and.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
And we're We're.

Speaker 6 (08:13):
Facing a monumental challenge right now, and I'm excited to
see if we can figure it out.

Speaker 5 (08:20):
You hinted at something like this a week or so
ago before the Louisville game or after the Louisville game.
Did you sense that this has been kind of brewing
throughout the preseason.

Speaker 6 (08:34):
No, I'm I'm I'm I'm disappointed with how disconnected we've been.

Speaker 3 (08:48):
I thought I had a better pulse.

Speaker 6 (08:50):
I thought I I thought I was doing a better
job coaching than I'm doing right now. So it's been
it's been eye opening for me a little bit. So,
you know, I'm a little bit surprised.

Speaker 5 (09:03):
And by coaching, you're not talking about actors and knows
as much as you're talking about getting these guys to
play for.

Speaker 3 (09:12):
The Kentucky name. Correct. No, I think it's everything.

Speaker 6 (09:16):
I think it's it's it's it's development culture, it's the
right care, it's the right focus, it's the right schemes,
it's the right extus and O's it's a im portant job.
A nice thing, is I can fix it, Like we
can fix it, but it's a really disappointing result.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
Austin, I don't know what even to make of that.
That sounds like a defeated coach whose season just ended.

Speaker 7 (09:38):
Seem pretty broken. Obviously, his voice was gone from yelling,
so that made it sound even worse. Yeah, it's it's
from the very beginning, it felt like he had just
watched his dog die.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
Like you remember after the Louisville game. I don't know
if you caught this or not, but there was a
point in which he said, quote I'm not ready to
tell the story yet, but at some point we'll talk
in detail about our pregame experience at Louisville.

Speaker 3 (10:02):
It was out of character for us. That was odd.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
And then you start to kind of dive in to
who and what this team has been. And there were
rumblings last night that during a timeout in the second half,
players were quote barking at each other. It just feels
like and Mark Pope added to it, his message isn't

(10:29):
resonating with the team. He does not have a pulse
on the team right now. And again, it's it's the
tough part about college athletics right now when you spend
that much money on a roster, you've got a lot
of different personalities coming into together and you'd better be
able to manage them altogether. And right now, that is
a struggle with the Kentucky Wildcats. Now another team. The

(10:53):
Kentucky lost to the Louisville Cardinals. They get ready to
come to Heritage Bank Arena on Friday. Their head coach,
Pat Kelsey spent some time last night, a few minutes
with Lance McAllister. We'll get a little bit of that
audio when we get back. We'll see if we get
time for any phone calls next On ESPN fifteen thirty
Cincinnati Sports Station. Thank you to Penn Station.

Speaker 8 (11:14):
No one covers the Bengals like ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati
Sports Station.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
Welcome back Sincy three sixty Thanks to Penn Station.

Speaker 3 (11:37):
Thank you for listening.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
On ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station, we are scheduled
to have Wes Miller join us tomorrow on the show.
But the other half of Friday night's game at the
Heritage Bank Arena between UC and Louisville, Louisville coach by
Pat Kelcey, Lance McAllister was able to catch up with
Pat Kelsey last night. This is part of their conversation

(11:59):
leading into Friday night's game against UC.

Speaker 8 (12:01):
Was I was going to ask you to what most
impressed you about your team's four and oh start, But
I'm going to take a guess and looking at the
notes today, you guys have ninety assists on one hundred
and thirty three baskets. That's sixty eight percent. You're dishing
twenty two assists per game. You gotta love the sharing.

Speaker 9 (12:20):
On this team.

Speaker 10 (12:21):
Yeah, we have a selfless team lance that shares the
ball and gives up good for great. But we got
what we got our work cut out for us on Friday.
Coach Miller's Bearcats are one of the best defensive teams
in the country and in fact, Ken Palm, which you
know coaches really value that ranking system, has them the

(12:42):
number two defense in the entire country. So you talk
about our ability to share the ball and score the ball,
and that's been the hallmark of the first four games.
Where we have a huge challenge at Heritage Bank Arena
on Friday at six o'clock, so hoping for a big crowd,
big college basketball atmosphere.

Speaker 8 (13:01):
Well, you have a freshman guard who is certainly sharing
it and scoring it. Tell everybody about Mike Heel Brown junior,
who's averaging twenty four points a game and six assists
per game.

Speaker 10 (13:11):
Yeah, Mikeel's a special talent, an extremely decorated player out
of high school. Obviously, you know McDonald's All American, all
the stars that you can imagine.

Speaker 9 (13:22):
You know that the draft boards have his name all
over it and all that stuff.

Speaker 10 (13:27):
I say all that to talk about the most impressive
thing about the young man is his humility.

Speaker 9 (13:33):
It's the type of teammate he is. It's his coach ability.

Speaker 10 (13:38):
If you met him and you walked in a room
and had a conversation with him, you would never ever
know that he had all these accolades and stars. And
he's just a world class young man. And he's a
terrific basketball player, special talent, great basketball mind and thinker, playmaker,

(13:58):
can really really put the on the basket. He's got
a complete game.

Speaker 8 (14:04):
Pat I was talking with Brooks Downing the other night
from BDG Global Sports, who's putting on this event, and
we talked about how putting together a matchup like this,
you need coaches who are willing and interested in doing
it to begin with what made this matchup appealing? What
made this adventure makes sense for your team?

Speaker 10 (14:22):
Well, you know, we put together lance arguably the most
difficult non conference schedule in the country if you look
at and I'm not looking anywhere past Friday, but it's like,
we got the.

Speaker 9 (14:34):
Lakers next, and then we got the Celtics, and I think.

Speaker 10 (14:36):
We played the Bulls. Then we go on the West
Coast and we got the Lakers. So, you know, I
have so much respect for Wes. I know that they're
very well coached. It's gonna be a terrific challenge and ultimately,
at the end of the day, when when you get
to the end of the season, you want to be able,
you know, to have your resume in front of that

(14:59):
committe and put yourself in the best position possible. You know,
we had a magical year last year. We went eighteen
and two in the ACC he won twenty seven games,
and then you know, somehow we got an eight seed,
and we just wanted to make sure that we put
ourselves in a position that if we if we do

(15:19):
what we're supposed to do throughout the course of the
year and went a high percentage of our games with
the schedule, we're playing that that won't happen again.

Speaker 8 (15:29):
Pat. As you know, when we were growing up, Heritage
Bank Center was known as Riverfront Coliseum. Is it safe
to say you probably attended more than a few games
in your day.

Speaker 10 (15:37):
Man, It's crazy, Lands. It's like the nostalgia getting ready.

Speaker 9 (15:42):
To go up there because I grew up going there.

Speaker 10 (15:47):
One of my first memories is going to a Crosstown shootout.
I was trying to figure out the year earlier today.
It might have been seventy nine or eighty. I want
to say Roger Clinton was playing in the game. I
want to say Anthony Hicks, the great Anthony Hicks from
Xavier was playing in the game. And I just remember

(16:09):
being I think it was my first basketball experience, like
at a big time arena, and I just thought it
was so cool that they brought the floor in. It
was a portable floor, and I just the spectacle of
the lights. And then I went home that night and
I cut up a bunch of cardboard boxes, went down
in the basement and created like my own Riverfront Coliseum floor.

Speaker 9 (16:32):
And to know that I'm.

Speaker 10 (16:33):
Going there to coach there where I grew up, going
to Disney on ice and concerts and all kinds of stuff.
It's kind of a full circle moment.

Speaker 8 (16:42):
That is fantastic. Pat Kelsey hanging out just a couple
more minutes on sports Talk. All right, I gotta ask
you a medical question. Did you in fact suffer an
injury to your finger after the Kentucky win?

Speaker 9 (16:52):
How are you? Are you on the injured list.

Speaker 3 (16:54):
At this moment?

Speaker 9 (16:55):
Yeah, I'm a knucklehead.

Speaker 10 (16:56):
I mean, no pun intended, so right about my middle finger,
right about the knuckle. I dislocated my finger in the
celebration after the Kentucky game. Literally, lance, my finger went
straight up to the knuckle and then it made an
abrupt right hand ninety degree turn. And I looked down

(17:18):
and the adrenaline was just pumping through my body because
we had just beat Kentucky, so I didn't really feel
it very much. And I went over to the trainer,
and you know, one of my assistant coaches got nauseous.
He started throwing up because it looks so nasty. Doctor
comes in and starts yanking on it, straightened it out.

Speaker 9 (17:35):
But if it takes losing a digit to beat Kentucky,
you can take all of.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
Them, all right, There is a I like that last line.
It takes losing a digit to beat a team. I'll
do it.

Speaker 3 (17:46):
Oh, he said, Kentucky. I know.

Speaker 7 (17:47):
I'm sure a lot of ours aren't happy about that.
Listened to this station, which is the home of the
Kentucky Wildcast, rule that, but they want it. I'm sure
they appreciated that.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
Here's what else I like Pat Kelsey talk about what
his family will to go through this Friday. Pat Kelsey
had started his college high school career Roger Bak and
grew up in Cincinnati. Transferred to Elder as a senior.
I know the Kelsey family is big in the Elder community.
Do you think any family members would choose to go
watch Elder over Pat's Louisville Cardinals on Friday?

Speaker 7 (18:18):
Yes, Oh yeah, I think a lot of I wouldn't
surprise me at all. That's West Side for you, man,
it is the west Side. It's west Side high school football.
Chat was Pat's doing amazing things. He did amazing things
at the College of Charleston, did amazing things at Winthrop,
and now legit has Louisville as a national championship contender
in just his second year as a head coach at

(18:41):
Louisville before we get a break in and uh and
switch gears to some Cincinnati cancer advisors conversation. Let's take
a phone called Marcus calling in.

Speaker 3 (18:50):
What's up?

Speaker 7 (18:50):
Mark?

Speaker 3 (18:52):
Mark? What's up?

Speaker 10 (18:55):
There's the old thing about, you know, pointing?

Speaker 2 (18:58):
Mark doesn't seem to be pay thanks? Mark's dangerous for Mark?
Should we try the other Mark?

Speaker 3 (19:04):
Yeah? Mark? Hello? Mark? Mark and Dell high you're on
the air, Mark, can you hear us? Marky? Mark Man?
All right? Just not a day for Marks on the
show X Marks the Spot? Wow? How about that? How

(19:30):
about that? Hunt Trucker ain't not? Ain't that bad?

Speaker 7 (19:32):
What's the line for this game? This can this Cincinnati
Louisville game?

Speaker 2 (19:37):
So they don't they don't make college basketball lines yet
they make them the day of the games. But if
you go to ESPN dot com, they have what's their
their bp I and they can make BPI predictions and
they're normally pretty close to what the line is going
to be. Any guess what BPI predicts.

Speaker 7 (19:59):
Uh, Louisville's nineteen and a half.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
Yikes, they have Louisville right now nine and a half. Okay,
so I think it'll be somewhere around that maybe ten
and a half. Make no mistake about it, Louisville is
a very good basketball team.

Speaker 3 (20:17):
Now.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
I don't know if they have the hardest non conference
schedule as Pat Kelsey alluded to. There they have wins
over South Carolina State, Jackson State, OU, They'll play Eastern Michigan,
New Jersey.

Speaker 3 (20:31):
And j T.

Speaker 2 (20:32):
I don't know who that is. Arkansas, they do play
tennis Tennessee. Before getting into acc of Arkansas. That game
last night, Oh did you see that?

Speaker 3 (20:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (20:43):
I think they played Winthrop YEP, and Arkansas had four
players ejected.

Speaker 3 (20:48):
Is that right?

Speaker 7 (20:48):
Or was it four players total from the game got
ejected and they barely escaped.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
That was crazy. It was a bonkers, bonkers game. Arkansas
took a lead I think with like an seconds left
in the game. Yeah, so there were I believe multiple
players ejected based on like coming on the court and
stuff too from a fight.

Speaker 7 (21:11):
So, uh, good for Arkansas, good win. I also wanted
to point this out. I know we're gonna get into
a bit of a topic change coming up, but uh,
did you see what Michael Jordan did in North Carolina?

Speaker 3 (21:25):
No, and it's gonna make like Michael Jordan Moore.

Speaker 7 (21:28):
Yes, okay. Wilmington, North Carolina, Michael Jordan gave a ten
million dollar donation to a North Carolina Regional Medical Center WOW,
in honor of his mother, the Lauris Jordan man Uh.
With the donation, the medical center will name its Neuroscience
ner its Neuroscience Institute after the Lauris Jordan. How about that.

(21:53):
I think that's pretty cool. Mj always just ten million crazy.
That's why I'm wearing a jas today. Crazy man. Shout
out to Michael. That's pretty cool, man. I mean, he's
a billionaire. Ten million is nothing to him, yep. But
still just doing good things changes that entire yeah area
that can help so many people.

Speaker 2 (22:13):
It's a good leeway into what we're going to talk
about next because the Cincinnati Cancer Foundation and Cincinati Cancer
Advisors are doing unbelievable things here locally as well. I
don't think enough people know exactly everything that they're doing.
So Lana Yulrig is the executive director of Cincinnati Cancer
Advisors and they have something really really cool coming up

(22:35):
that she is going to share with us when we
come back. It is known as Rivalry on the Rocks.
Raffle and She's going to tell you more about that
next on ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station. Welcome back
since he three sixty ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station,
our number three. As we roll right along, let's spend

(22:57):
some time talking about something awesome that we have coming
up here in Cincinnati. And it's especially awesome for me
as a partner and a foundation and someone that's helping
and has helped my family and so many other families,
the Cincinnati Cancer Foundation. We're able to talk here today
to Landa Jurich, the executive director of the Cincinnati Cancer Foundation,

(23:20):
about some really cool stuff coming up.

Speaker 3 (23:22):
Landa, how are you doing.

Speaker 11 (23:23):
I'm doing great. Thanks so much for having me to.

Speaker 2 (23:25):
Absolutely absolutely, there's a lot we can discuss. Let's dive
right in though to what's going on right now with
Rivalry on the Rocks and this campaign that you guys
are running. Let's just start with that. What is Rivalry
on the Rocks that we hear so much about?

Speaker 12 (23:39):
Well, thanks so much for having us here to talk
about this today and the rival Rivalry on the Rocks
is our end of year campaign that we're doing with
the Incinety Cancer Foundation to support the care that we
provide through the Sincindi Cancer Advisors in Naples Cancer Advisors
and it's a really cool package promotional opportunity for a

(24:00):
lucky winner and we're very excited to work with iHeart
on this. The package includes two tickets to the exciting
January fourth Bengals Browns.

Speaker 3 (24:10):
Game, possibly Joe Burrow back playing quarterback.

Speaker 12 (24:13):
We hope like that's, you know, get your lucky chance
so that you can go see that, and that is
in the iHeartRadio suite. And there's also as part of
the package and on air opportunity or an in studio
opportunity with Tony Pike to spend some time to see
what happens behind the scenes in the studio. We have

(24:36):
a five hundred dollars gift card for food and what's
really nice about this package is there's a two night
stay at the beautiful Ltel Park Hotel and we're very
thankful for their support and contribution, and also a bottle
of heaven Hill bourbon eighteen years signed by the master distiller.

(24:56):
So a really nice package. And that's the rivalry on
the theme that we went with.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
Let's dive in a little bit. Obviously, the Cleveland and
Cincinnati game. Regardless of teams records and where they stand,
a rivalry game is always different and always means more.
You know it's going to be a great environment. So
that's fun in itself. Let's talk about the donations one,
the cost or how the chances work from a donation standpoint,
and then we'll dive into what the donations are actually

(25:24):
supporting with the foundation great.

Speaker 12 (25:27):
So one hundred dollars donation gets you one chance into
the raffle. You can choose as many of those as
you like. If you do a thousand dollars donation, you
get fifteen chances, so you get a little bit more
opportunity to win with a bit larger donation. And so
all of this money stays local and goes to support

(25:47):
the care that we provide at the Cincinnati Cancer Advisors
and the Cincinnati Cancer Advisors. If people aren't familiar with
what we do, we are a free second opinion clinic
for patients who are facing a ca answer diagnosis. And
so for those of you have had cancer, you realize
what a very chaotic time that can be when you

(26:10):
get a cancer diagnosis and you're oftentimes wondering, am I
doing the right thing. Should I stay local, should I
go someplace else? And what we do is hire expert
physicians who provide a second opinion, a complete consultative review
of your case. We get all of your medical records.
You have a one to two hour visit with an

(26:31):
oncologist face to face or by telehealth, whichever is the preference.
So you get amazing face time with a physician who
just really sits down and goes through your whole diagnosis
with you, soup to nuts, and so you really walk
out of that visit understanding what's going on, understanding if
you're on the right treatment plan. Our physicians communicate with

(26:54):
your physicians, and so that it's all very synergistic, and
we really like to think of ourselves as honest brokers.
We're not trying to compete, we're not trying to treat
the patient. We're consultative only, and we just really are
altruistically wanting the best for patients.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
It's a separate side because I think so many with
a cancer diagnosis or someone they know with a cancer diagnosis,
you feel lost, You feel lonely.

Speaker 3 (27:20):
At times.

Speaker 2 (27:20):
You probably just feel like you're going through the motions
and you guys come in and offer what feels like
a partnership where your a voice is actually heard exactly
and there's other options. So many times the diagnosis itself
can be dark and consuming, and you guys are offering
hope and second opinions and chances to people that I

(27:40):
think the biggest thing for me is I I don't
think people know enough about this being out there and
something that they can take advantage of to help them
or help a loved one.

Speaker 12 (27:50):
That's right, It's very unique. There's really only two of
these that we know of. It exists in the United States,
and that's in Cincinnati and Southwest Florida. You can get
second opinion and multiple places. That's not a new thing.
But what we do is very unique in the sense
that we're not trying to keep patients for care. It's
really all of our services are provided free of charge.

(28:12):
We don't take an insurance card. Everything is provided free
of charge to patients. And we do that all through
the generous donations through fundraisers like we're doing right now
to be able to continue to provide these services and
hire and have the most expert oncologists to give those opinions.

Speaker 2 (28:30):
You guys also have an awesome partnership with Ride Cincinnati
as well. Talked a little bit about what you guys
have with Ride Cincinnati and how that's giving back as well.

Speaker 12 (28:38):
Yes, it's been a very exciting partnership just this year,
and we had an enormously successful ride event in September,
and we actually just met this week to review all
of the grant applications. We had over twenty seven grant
applications that came in and we had an expert review
panel that review the grants and we'll be making announcements

(29:02):
about the awards coming up in December and then doing
the check awards in January, and we'll be distributing over
five hundred thousand dollars worth of funds to multiple organizations
across the community. So all of the health systems were
involved in this and then multiple community cancer programs.

Speaker 2 (29:22):
Is there a universal spot that people can learn more
about Cincinnati Hit Cancer Foundation, learn more about how to
donate and win.

Speaker 12 (29:30):
A winner is going to be announced, Yeah, So the
winner will be announced before December twentieth, So this can
be a nice Christmas gift for someone and you can
go to Cincinnati Cancer Advisors dot org there's a banner
at the top of the page. You just click on
that to go to the Rivalry on the Rocks campaign.

(29:51):
You can also go to the Cincinnati Cancer Foundation dot
org website as well, so either one of those websites
will work.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
Also, that's something that they can go to throughout the
year as well to donate and find a way to
give back as well.

Speaker 3 (30:04):
Absolutely not right at this moment.

Speaker 12 (30:06):
Absolutely so, if this is not the time for you,
just you know, remember remember that website and remember what
we do. And we really appreciate the community support and
the altruism that that the Cincinnati community has provided. They've
just really wrapped their arms around this and philanthropically supported
this cause that has helped so many. And I like
to say Tony that when we have patients come in

(30:28):
to see us, they're oftentimes very anxious.

Speaker 11 (30:31):
And if anybody.

Speaker 12 (30:33):
Has had to go to a doctor's appointment, you know
what it's like to have that portal where you have
all your information. And many times cancer patients have multiple
portals and they're trying to navigate across that, and you know,
we really.

Speaker 11 (30:47):
Go in and put that whole picture together.

Speaker 12 (30:51):
I like to say it's kind of like stringing a
necklace and putting the pearls on, and we really put
it all together for a patient so they walk out
understanding what's going on with their care.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
And it just gives people hope, It gives them a map.
It tries to reduce some of the suffering that so
many times can be associated with cancer. It's a dual
purpose donation. It's a tax deduction and you get a
chance to win an awesome prize. All the donations are
obviously staying local with supporting amazing things that you guys
are doing. And another chance, it's two sweet tickets to

(31:21):
the Bengals Browns game in early January. It's a two
night's day at the Lyttle Park Hotel, Ultrarare heaven Hill Bourbon,
five hundred dollar visa gift card, and probably the icing
on the cake for this package is a chance to
come in studio for since e three point sixty and
sit in on the show and be able to see
how this works.

Speaker 11 (31:38):
Yes, and I think that is the that's the prize
of the pack. Absolutely love.

Speaker 12 (31:42):
I love just having the opportunity to come in here
and see it myself. So I think that anyone who
wins this package is going to.

Speaker 3 (31:49):
Really enjoy that one more time.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
For those listening, how they can go and donate and
get themselves involved in the package.

Yes, so they can go to the Cincinnati Cancer Advisors
dot org website or the CINCINNTI Cancer Foundation dot org website.

Speaker 2 (33:21):
Eddie, Oh gosh, I forgot about Conwell. Any chance that
maybe Louisville just not that good after watching Kentucky last night?

Speaker 3 (33:27):
Yeah, maybe that's it.

Speaker 13 (33:28):
They sliced the dice. Mark Pope, that post game a couch.

Speaker 2 (33:33):
That postgame with Jeff Goodman last night was one of
the craziest things I've ever seen.

Speaker 3 (33:38):
Was it crazy?

Speaker 13 (33:39):
And this is an audio medium, It was it crazy
because of how Mark Pope looked like somebody kidnapped his
family just passed. Meanwhile, Jeff Goodman. Oh my gosh is
doing these facial gesticulations, and I put on social media.
I was gonna do this, but it was too late
last night. I was going to put it into like
a video prop out. Mark Pope mut the audio because

(34:03):
he he looks like he's watching a car wreck combined
with a pornographic movie.

Speaker 7 (34:09):
That's how I envision most of our listeners listening to me.
I'm like, Buddy, it's November.

Speaker 13 (34:16):
Yeah, I've seen coaches look like that, and it's like
early February.

Speaker 3 (34:20):
It wasn't just like the season just ended in the tournament.

Speaker 13 (34:22):
And lost to a really good, well put together Michigan
State team benefiting from continuity.

Speaker 2 (34:28):
Like dude, Mark, fuck up Buddy on the show.

Speaker 13 (34:34):
First of all, I need to I need to address
something I am. I put this on a big LinkedIn
guy now. I like to update people with what's going
on professional, and I made an announcement that I have
been named for our show vice president of Strategic Content.
Nice and I feel like some people have been misled

(34:58):
because it vice president of strategic Content and on air Initiatives.
Oh and I left that part out and I'm okay.
So I just wanted to get that out of the way.
What's an example of an on air initiative. Well, what
we're gonna do on the show today, We're gonna put
forth an initiative we're gonna have on Let's see, I
got the piece of paper right here.

Speaker 3 (35:18):
This is what you do in your press show work.
This is it, Rick Boring.

Speaker 13 (35:22):
Okay, I went to a Xavier game last night, like
that guy, they made sixteen threes.

Speaker 9 (35:26):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (35:26):
I already know what's coming. Yep. Get ready for that.
In a couple of weeks, John Cunningham is going to
come on the show. Amy Wagner is going to come

Wes Miller is going to be on the show.

Speaker 13 (35:37):
Head coach of the Bearcats is is going to join us.
We are we are looking forward to that. Also, and
I'm scrambling here, I'm looking it up. We are going
to have an announcer from MLS Season Pass to talk
about the FC Cincinnati game.

Speaker 3 (35:54):
Nice.

Speaker 13 (35:54):
I'm also told we may have Mike Tyson on the
show today, like Iron Iron Mike Tyson. Yeah, Mike, you
know he's got a one man show. What it's gonna
be at the hard Rock Casino. I am told that
we might have Mike Tyson on the show.

Speaker 3 (36:10):
To what is his one man show? What's he doing?

Speaker 13 (36:12):
He shows up, He stands on stage and he uh.
He talks about his life and career, talks about fighting
Jake Paul. Apparently he's going to fight Floyd Mayweather next year.
Oh God, Iron, Mike Tyson is next year. I feel
like like he should make the a couple of months,
go ahead and do this now.

Speaker 7 (36:28):
Is he going to be wearing pants? You may remember
he fantasy wasn't.

Speaker 13 (36:34):
Yeah, So I'm told that Mike Tyson may be calling
in at some point this afternoon.

Speaker 3 (36:39):
Tell me about you and I viewing experience of his
last fight. We were in Des Moines.

Speaker 13 (36:42):
We were I have been nervous to do one interview
in my career. It was with John Tortorella. Yeah, that
used to be the coach of the Blue Jackets. Because
he was a guy like if you asked him the
wrong question, he kind of like yell at you. And
I we had him on in the middle of Blue
Jackets won like seventeen straight games, and we got him
on and I'm like, all right, look, if I asked
the wrong question. This man may yell at me, and

(37:02):
it turned out he was awesome. I'm a little nervous
about this one because I don't quite know how good
it's gonna be.

Speaker 3 (37:08):
Fair.

Speaker 2 (37:08):
See, by the way, I didn't give you credit earlier
this week, I don't deserve it. I thought that you
crafted one of your best tweets over the weekend, which
was when referring to that robot falling as you walking
back to your hotel room multiple times at the Sugar Bowl.
I just thought, my goodness, that's a fantastic tweet. So
I wanted to give you your credit now. And some would say,
who were there? Pretty accurate?

Speaker 3 (37:28):
Yeah, yeah, probably con hand some players that did the same.

Speaker 13 (37:30):
I was gonna make a joke about like Joe Flacco
or somebody, but I said I made the Joe good
put myself.

Speaker 2 (37:39):
Zach Taylor today did not solidify Joe Flacco as starting
on Sunday, so he also did not completely rule out
Joe Burrow is doing anything but needing to take eleven
on eleven reps.

Speaker 13 (37:53):
So maybe a stupid question, why can't Joe Burrow just
play Sunday?

Speaker 3 (37:57):
That's what I'm thinking. Do you think that door's open,
wouldn't it be?

Speaker 13 (38:01):
Joe Flacco is not practicing, Joe Burrow is, why don't
you play the guy who's practicing?

Speaker 3 (38:07):
Who's better?

Speaker 7 (38:08):
I think James. I think it was James who said,
is there a scenario where Joe Burrow? And Zach Taylor said,
Joe Burrow hasn't practiced eleven on eleven yet.

Speaker 3 (38:16):
But today he is, But today he is.

Speaker 13 (38:18):
And Joe Flacco is not practicing because he has a
hurt shoulder.

Speaker 7 (38:21):
And when he was asked basically if Flacco would start,
he said, we'll see. Oh, is it possible. The intrigue continues.
This human members can't play. There's even more reason to
put Burrow.

Speaker 13 (38:36):
Just just just when I thought I was out, they.

Speaker 7 (38:41):
Right, you gotta win the last seven in a row,
win the last seven if you don't win the first one.
And if Joe Burrow is gonna play meaningful games, well
this game is meaningful.

Speaker 3 (38:51):
That's true. They're not eliminated.

Speaker 13 (38:52):
Here, not eliminated yet. And then if you know what
will happen, don't don't win on Sunday and on Monday,
see you know, and we're gonna be going to the playoffs.
Simulator we're gonna be looking at all you know if
he is it bad?

Speaker 3 (39:05):
I did that this morning. Why I was on the simulator.

Speaker 13 (39:08):
Here's if they win their last seven games, they will
be a playoff team. Okay, I got that hard figure.
We are going to get a mock draft today.

Speaker 2 (39:14):
I'm doing Matt Miller had them passing on Caleb Downs
to take an edge rusher from Auburn who has two
sacks this year.

Speaker 13 (39:20):
The internet sound and I will both lose my mind
lose How do you know a mock draft when you
don't know what order the the teams are gonna be in.

Speaker 3 (39:30):
Bengals are picking ninth, according to Matt.

Speaker 7 (39:31):
Melloy also had like two trades in the first two
picks in that mock draft.

Speaker 2 (39:34):
Cleveland took another quarterback. Did you get to hear anything
about it? Do you hear Ben Roethlisberger's comment?

Speaker 13 (39:39):
You talk about like a world. I don't want to
be in the world where anything related to Ben Roethlisberger
enters into it.

Speaker 3 (39:46):
What what did Ben have to say?

Speaker 2 (39:51):
He essentially said that there was at least respect between
the Steelers and the Ravens and their rivalry, and that
there's not respect between the Bengals, Okay, which I makes
the rivalry a little more heated for me.

Speaker 10 (40:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (40:02):
Fine, these teams don't like each other. Okay.

Speaker 13 (40:05):
I don't need Ben Roethlisberger's respect. I don't want his respect.
Ben Roethlisberger is a chud. You draw the line of
Steelers fans don't like him. You ever talked to a
Steelers fan and it's like, how do you feel about Ben?
It's kind of like some of my crazy uncles. Well, yeah,
I do like Uncle Ron, but we don't really hang out.

(40:25):
I only go to his house. I'm sure what he
does for a living. That's all Steelers fans. They admit
they don't really like him because he's a big pud.

Speaker 3 (40:33):
Who cares what Ben Roethlisberger thinks? Were you shocked.

Speaker 13 (40:38):
Because the field Ben roth Miami people don't claim Ben Roethlisberger.

Speaker 3 (40:45):
Were you surprised?

Speaker 13 (40:47):
Yes, Wally Herbiak, Yes, Cradle of Coaches, Yes, Ben Roethlisberger.

Speaker 3 (40:53):
No, he did play for us, But were you surprised?

Speaker 2 (40:56):
Jordy Nelson heard Jamar Chase a side of things about
if you wanted to spit on j ramsay, he'd do
it to his face, and said, we're going to uphold
the suspension?

Speaker 13 (41:03):
What what is? What takes less time? If you and
I are out, you're like, no, you want to be here?
Or Jordy Nelson hearing the appeal, yeah going, yeah, man,
you're not gonna play Sunday.

Speaker 7 (41:14):
I feel like Jordany probably had to read it a
couple of times just to make sure.

Speaker 13 (41:18):
This how works. Or we just pull these guys out
from like twelve years ago. They're like, hey, the next
one's going to be heard by brock Osweiler. He's he's
gonna he's gonna hear the next appeal roar that's right, yes, yes,
so no, I'm not not surprised at all.

Speaker 2 (41:37):
When you got to Xavier games, do you get people like, oh,
what are you doing here? I had friends with you here.
I had people that you know that said that to
me yesterday. Really yeah, okay, court size. But the thing
is the I get the I get to what are
you doing here? But you know how it is now,
it's like next time you hear, you know it's gonna happen.
Right Like they're already doing it and they just won
last night. I made sixteen to three, which tells me

(41:59):
they can do it. Yeah, which means they'll do it
again in a couple of weeks.

Speaker 13 (42:02):
Man, you know you just we're already talking about you
guys are they're already doing it?

Speaker 3 (42:07):
It's so bad. I did get a few of what
are you doing here?

Speaker 4 (42:10):
Is?

Speaker 3 (42:11):
Yep?

Speaker 2 (42:11):
Last night I figured that it was like, I know
you're talking about that.

Speaker 3 (42:14):
You ran into it. Probably as well.
