WEBVTT - Mornings with Thom Brennaman 11/3/2025 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:05.080 This is the Bloomberg Moneymnet on seven hundred Wlwhy. 0:00:04.280 --> 0:00:06.240 We say good morning once more to genis Ervetti from 0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:09.320 the Bloomberg newsroom in New York City, Gina. A major 0:00:09.440 --> 0:00:13.000 merger announced today involving consumer products. 0:00:13.920 --> 0:00:17.200 That's right, it's not Procter and Gamble, but a competitor. 0:00:17.280 --> 0:00:20.760 Kimberly Clark has agreed to buy tailan all maker ken View, 0:00:20.840 --> 0:00:24.040 and a cash and stock deal that values the consumer 0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:28.320 health company at about forty billion dollars. Kimberly Clark shareholders 0:00:28.320 --> 0:00:30.960 would own about fifty four percent of the combined entity. 0:00:31.040 --> 0:00:35.879 Kenview shareholders are getting the rest. Kenview's portfolio also includes 0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:39.360 new Trigina and band Aid, but it's struggled since it 0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:42.880 was spun off from Johnson and Johnson. With this acquisition, though, 0:00:43.200 --> 0:00:46.600 kimberly Clark would become the second largest consumer products maker 0:00:46.680 --> 0:00:50.919 behind Procter and Gamble. However, the deal here with Kenview 0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:54.360 could be complicated because of something we've talked about here, 0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:59.320 the Trump Administration's attax on thailanol, which is Kenview's biggest product. 0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:04.679 While a cybersecurity firm says hackers are infiltrating logistics firms 0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:06.240 to steal their goods. 0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:11.319 Yes, hackers are infiltrating trucking and freight companies in a 0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:15.000 scheme to steal and then sell those cargo shipments. The 0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:19.039 cybersecurity company proof Point says it believes hackers are working 0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:22.400 with organized crime to pull off these thefts. The stolen 0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:26.080 items are likely sold online or shipped overseas. The National 0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:29.959 Insurance Crime Bureau TOM says cargo theft losses rose by 0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:33.080 twenty seven percent last year. They're expected to continue to 0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:36.720 go up, and the bureau estimates that cargo theft amounts 0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:39.720 to thirty five billion in losses every year. 0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:42.840 And the futures this morning, genis Cervetti. 0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:46.280 While they're mostly higher, the Dow futures have taken a 0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:48.960 bit of a dip here. They're down sixty two points, 0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:52.760 not too bad. SMP futures up fourteen. Nasdaq futures are 0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:56.040 up one hundred and thirty five from Bloomberg. Genas Cervetti 0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:58.520 on news radio seven hundred WLW. 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:02.560 All right, it is eight ten, straight up, and we 0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:05.040 do it the morning after and that's what we call it. 0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:08.960 The morning after the morning after the Bengals play. And 0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:11.200 kind enough to join us each and every week former 0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:16.079 Bengal great Tim McGee. Tim, you and I were texting 0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:20.959 yesterday during the game. In all your years of football, 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:24.960 have you seen anything like the last five minutes of 0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:26.000 that game yesterday? 0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:30.840 Unfortunately I have not, And when we were at texting yesterday, 0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:34.520 I just kept noticing the tears falling on my cell 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:38.760 phone as I was as the excruciating pain of watching 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:44.400 them lose in another just absolutely embarrassing, humiliating way that again, 0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:47.000 never seen in all my years of watching football, and 0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:50.399 it's been over thirty years, so it's very disappointing. 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:53.639 All right, So Tim, the natural question is, you know, 0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:56.359 what do you do next? You're not going to be 0:02:56.440 --> 0:02:59.519 able to overhaul and let's start with a defense. You're 0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:02.840 not going to be able to overhaul the players between 0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:05.720 now and the next game after next weekend, off the 0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:09.200 bye week. What in the world is Zach Taylor and 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:12.240 Al Golden? What are they supposed to do? 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:14.720 Well? 0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:17.800 I tell you what they are in like the worst 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:22.079 case scenario that there possibly can be. You're in the 0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:24.919 middle of the season and you don't want to per se, 0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:27.360 give up, you don't want to just pack it in. 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:31.800 But if they're looking at things in a realistic manner. 0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:35.560 They must try to weed out the players that they 0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:37.720 feel or are going to be a part of the future, 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:42.840 especially on the defensive side. Who can play in this scheme. 0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:47.000 You're trying different combinations or they're trying different combinations, and 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:51.600 obviously nothing is working. So you've tried to outscore the 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:55.640 opponent by scoring forty plus points and you're still losing. 0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:59.000 You're losing every way possible. So you know, when you 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:01.000 go back or the coach just go back into that 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:05.840 lab on Monday morning, it's really difficult because typically you say, okay, 0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:07.800 you know, there's four or five plays here. If we 0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:09.680 just move this guy here, if we just do this, 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:14.600 that could be a potential remedy for the problems we're having. 0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:18.320 They just have so many holes in the boat that 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:20.120 I just don't know if they're going to be able 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:22.560 to say afloat. It's just going to be tough because 0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:25.440 next time is the morale of the team, and you 0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:28.400 can tell when they're walking to that locker room. Brother, 0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:31.880 they ain't no sugarcoat nets. The players are down. 0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:36.080 You know when and you were an offensive star, wide 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:42.200 receiver return man, you know when you walk off the 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:46.000 field you're very frustrated. The powers that be try to 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:48.200 give you a ten or a fifteen minute just cooling 0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:50.359 off period for lack of a better term, before the 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:52.240 media is allowed in the locker room. 0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:52.799 After a game. 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:56.640 Do you ever recall you sitting there and seeing, you 0:04:56.640 --> 0:04:59.360 know what, I'm tired of this stuff, and it's time 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:01.560 for me to say something about it. Because I was 0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:04.239 stunned by some of the comments made by Chase Brown, 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:07.600 who normally you know, very upbeat, positive guy, likable guy, 0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:11.000 and then some of the comments by Jamar Chase I mean, 0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:14.280 or lack thereof from Jamar Chase. Have you ever been 0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:16.760 in that situation or been around guys where you're walking 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:18.960 back to the locker room after a game and you're going, man, 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:20.480 I'm unloading today. 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:24.400 Yeah. Oh, there's no question about it. And here's the 0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:27.720 toughest part about it is, typically it's an offensive versus 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:30.760 defensive thing. You get so frustrated, and you know, back 0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:34.040 in my day that our offense did carry our team. 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:36.120 There was no question about that. But you know, obviously 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:38.599 the defense did step up from time to time. But 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:42.000 when you have these and it's not just one game, 0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:46.120 it's a whole season, it's a season that they are experiencing. Now, yes, 0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:48.839 you do sit there as a human being, going, man, 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:51.600 I can't take this no more. You start having thoughts, 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:53.599 I'm calling my agent, I'm getting out of here. I 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:56.640 want out. How can we get this together because you've 0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:59.960 already had them stupid team meetings to closed door meeting 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:02.600 where you scream at each other. You try this and 0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:06.840 you realize, you realize only one thing is going to 0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:09.640 fix this, and this is talent, and we don't have 0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:12.960 the talent. Yes, I love my buddies, Johnny, Bobby and Tommy. 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:15.240 I love them, They're my buddies. I hang out with them. 0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:17.720 But guess what, they're not getting it done. And we're 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:21.360 over here busting our butts off to score forty points 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:23.320 and all we're doing is looking at the track meet 0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:25.040 where we can. By the time we sit down and 0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:27.120 have a drink a gatorade, we're back on the field 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:29.599 because the other team that scored. So yes, it's but 0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:32.000 it's human nature. It's human nature, and neither are some 0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:34.280 of the most competitive people you can ever be around. 0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:36.000 So it's to be expected. 0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:37.400 You know. 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:41.960 We talked about how we both agree that uh Lou 0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:44.719 and Roumo was made basically to be the scapegoat for 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:48.240 this franchise, and what happened on defense last year they 0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:50.080 run him out of town. We know he's done a 0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:52.040 great job in Indiana. I know they lost yesterday, but 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:55.080 he's done a great job up there. And Al Golden 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:58.360 comes in. But you have the players that you have, 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:02.160 you know the and o's of this sport as well 0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:05.640 as anybody out there. I mean, is there really anything 0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:08.560 at the end of the day. Is Al Golden taking 0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:10.880 a beating and there's nothing he can do about it? 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:15.360 Yes, he's taken a beating and there's absolutely nothing he 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:18.480 can do about I don't care what type of scheme 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:22.520 or stematics or philosophies you have. As a coordinator, you 0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:27.400 are just putting the pieces into places. Now it takes 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:31.200 a it's another level to go out and execute and execute, 0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:33.720 in this case being the Bengals defense. You gotta tackle, 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:36.320 you gotta tackle, you gotta tackle, you gotta tackle. You 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:39.520 got to prevent big chunk plays and then that's just 0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:41.640 not happened. So when you look at Al Golden, which 0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:43.320 I think his name is going to be Al Brond, 0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:46.080 and he's heading in the wrong directions. But when you 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:49.040 look at him, you're looking at a guy that's going 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:52.040 to you have to blame someone. You got to get 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:54.400 the fans to red meat, and the red meat is 0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:56.840 going to be Al Golton. Oh, it's his defense. Well, 0:07:56.880 --> 0:07:59.640 how about the players. But here's the problem. There are 0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:03.440 no one that's sitting on the streets right now that 0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:07.640 used to be or aspiring to be an NFL defensive 0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:08.760 player that can. 0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:09.360 Help the Bengals. 0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:12.320 The only people that can help themselves is the people 0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:16.000 in that locker room. And there is just no zero 0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:20.600 substitution for talent and they do not have the talent. 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:22.480 And Tom when you look at them, you got like 0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:25.120 the Jacksons, They're they're like the Jacksons. Do you got 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:27.760 Trey Henderson being Michael? And then you got this group 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:30.400 of guys that you know, they don't know if they 0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:34.400 can carry themselves. And that's that's just the reality. You 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:37.760 have to face reality. Don't be delusional because you're emotionally 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:40.240 attached to a football team and it's your it's your 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:43.520 local team. You love them to death, But just huge 0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:45.640 reality and resett your thinking. 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:48.800 Look, I have not been the number one fan of 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:51.760 Zach Taylor through the years and and that's neither here 0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:54.200 nor there. But I do feel for him in this 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:58.880 situation and that he is the only guy as far 0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:02.480 as quote unquote may management is concerned, that is stepping 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:05.320 forward and having to answer these questions every day to 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:08.040 the media. I'll have a press conference again today every 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:10.640 game after the game, and it was just it was 0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:13.720 it was painful watching him try to answer those questions 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:16.320 after the game yesterday. Now, the Bengals have made it 0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:21.360 policy for a long long time that the owner or 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:25.160 Duke Tobin in this case, will not do interviews during 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:28.880 the season. In that locker room. It doesn't matter what 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:31.280 I think, it doesn't matter what you think. But as 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:34.160 a player in that locker room, what it means something 0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:37.440 for Duke Tobin to step up there and address some 0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:40.080 of these questions from the press. 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:43.960 No, and here's the reason Tom. Players don't want to 0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:47.360 be gas like it anymore. You get that that BF speech. 0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:49.280 You know, the coach comes in every time and it 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:52.360 gives you this. You know five minutes or things are 0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:54.079 going to be okay. And at some point time and 0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:58.440 they're far beyond that. Now, Well, words doesn't matter. We're 0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:01.679 looking at actions. We're looking at the results ultimately. Like 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:05.439 I said, Tom, You've got fifty three of the most 0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:08.400 competitive human beings on the face of the earth. They're 0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:12.040 not going to settle for faith time and talk time. 0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:14.880 They want wins. And when you look at like I said, 0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:17.640 you look at Jamar Chase and Joe Flacco and T 0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:21.600 Higgins walking to the locker room, man, I mean, it 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:25.559 just looks so depressing. So I don't think management can 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:28.640 do anything at this point in time. The only people 0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:31.040 that can really have an effect are the people that's 0:10:31.080 --> 0:10:34.360 inside that locker room. And that's just not good news 0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:35.160 for the fan base. 0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:39.840 You know, Look, you played wide receiver extraordinarily. Well do 0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:44.239 you find yourself sometimes marveling at some of the plays 0:10:44.720 --> 0:10:48.000 that these two wide receivers, especially on the Bengals make. 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:51.920 I mean, I watched T Higgins yesterday. I still cannot 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:55.240 believe both of his touchdowns. 0:10:56.480 --> 0:10:58.320 Oh you know, it's funny you said that, Tom, And 0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:01.280 that's such an excellent question because I look at that 0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:06.920 and I marvel at their athleticisms, their attitude, their approach, 0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:10.480 their competitiveness. You know, every ball they're competing for the 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:13.400 ball A fifty fifty ball, if not fifty fifty with them, 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:16.360 you know, it's probably eighty twenty in their favor and 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:21.319 just to watch them. But this is what I'm this, 0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:24.760 This is exactly what I'm saying. This is what we 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:27.240 knew we were going to have at the beginning of 0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:32.120 the season. We knew to have a show of entertainers 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:36.000 Jamar Chase, Joe Burrow, and t Higgins, and we knew this. 0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:38.840 We knew Trey Hendrickson will come around in make some tackles. 0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:43.400 But we also didn't think they had a complete football team. 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:47.320 We did not think, unless you was delusional, that this 0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:50.360 is the team that can compete on the offensive side 0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:53.880 and the defensive side. They're built to outscore. And guess 0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:56.680 what we never thought outscore. It was mean they need 0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:59.840 to score sixty points while giving up fifty points. Well, 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:02.400 I don't think any of us was really going down 0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:02.840 that road. 0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:06.320 You know, before I let you go, you know, look, 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:08.480 you had to retire. You know, you sat down with 0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:12.160 your wife and you guys talked about all the dings 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:14.800 and the major hits and so forth and your overall 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:20.480 future health, and you made that decision. Joe Flacco, I 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:23.840 gotta tell you, man, I've always thought the guy was 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:26.160 really good. But when you get to be forty, you 0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:31.640 wonder can they keep going? This guy man has been unbelievable. 0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:37.800 I'll tell you one thing, Tom Joe Flacco, he reminds 0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:41.080 me of my last two years in the NFL. I 0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:44.360 was just basically a guy that I might wanted me 0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:47.840 to pretty much coach Carl Pickens and Darnay Scott and 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:50.160 just mentor those guys be a part of it. You 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:53.040 were still on the roster. But I remember Carl Pickens 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:56.120 just like Joe Flacco. Joe Burrow gets hurt, Carl Pickens 0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:57.920 gets hurt. I gotta go into the game. In my 0:12:58.080 --> 0:12:59.960 ninth year, I got to play against the Cleveland Brown 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.360 They end up having one hundred yards a touchdown, and 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:04.680 I'll never forget it. Like I came to the sideline, 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:06.920 pick you got to get your ass healthy because I'm 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:13.679 not doing this. So yeah, Flak always enjoying it. But 0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:17.720 right now he's ready for his clipboard. Probably play about 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:19.439 the three or four years and play a couple of 0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:23.240 snaps in preseason, grab some checks and go off into 0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:25.760 the sunset and live his life in the Bahamas with 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:26.800 his beautiful family. 0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:28.080 Good for him. Tim. 0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:30.400 We thank you for your time and your expertise every 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:34.360 single Monday after or morning after, my friend, I have 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:36.040 a great rest of your day and a good weekend. 0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:38.840 Appreciate for having me as always. 0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:41.600 Already Tim McGee, former Bengals standout.

I mean he and I were texting during 0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:47.079 the game yesterday, you know, I mean we knew this 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:50.920 going into the year. Maybe not what happened yesterday, but 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:53.640 we knew this going into the year. When you spend 0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:57.120 all your money on offense, this is what you're going 0:13:57.200 --> 0:14:01.120 to get. All right, Let's check the roadways.

We learned yesterday about the passing 0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:37.760 of your very good friend Bob Trumpy. 0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:43.840 Yeah, it's a sad deal. Tommy's he's had a tough 0:17:44.400 --> 0:17:46.600 in the last year or so, maybe longer than that, 0:17:46.680 --> 0:17:48.960 with his health, and it's been a multitude of things. 0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:54.640 And we had developed a habit, a good habit over 0:17:54.680 --> 0:17:58.000 the last two years or so where he and Kenny 0:17:58.040 --> 0:18:02.560 Fouts and then Chance and we'd get together periodically and 0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:06.480 have ones together and we could tell that things were 0:18:06.480 --> 0:18:09.040 not well with Bob. But still I was stunned that 0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:13.520 I got to work yesterday. Dave Armberwster you had called me, 0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:16.600 text me and said that he had died yesterday morning 0:18:16.680 --> 0:18:20.399 or over the night, you knowing, Well, he was a 0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:25.080 great guy. He was an incredibly talented guy. I mean, 0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:28.400 for my money, he's a guy that really brought sports 0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:34.399 talk radio to the forefront at seven hundred WLW, and 0:18:34.400 --> 0:18:36.440 then after a fine career as a tight end of 0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:40.680 one of the original Bengals, uh, you know, he got 0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:45.040 hooked on with in television ultimately rose to the top 0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:48.000 really because at the time he and Dick Enburgh were 0:18:48.640 --> 0:18:51.280 the number one crew in NFL football for a number 0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:55.640 of years, and Kenny Fouts, you know, was a tremendous 0:18:55.680 --> 0:18:59.320 director of telecast and started at Channel five and went 0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:01.240 on to the net work. It was there number one 0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:04.280 guy forever. And so it was a nice group of 0:19:04.320 --> 0:19:07.919 people that got together and told stories, and I just 0:19:08.000 --> 0:19:10.480 had the greatest respect for him as a person and 0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:11.560 also is a talent. 0:19:12.320 --> 0:19:12.480 You know. 0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:13.240 I'm curious. 0:19:13.640 --> 0:19:16.239 There's an article today you may not have seen it 0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:20.320 in the New York Times about Bob Trumpy, and I 0:19:20.359 --> 0:19:22.320 don't know if you ever had a chance to talk 0:19:22.400 --> 0:19:24.879 to him when you guys were having lunch or whatever 0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:28.160 the case may be about. You know, this article pointed 0:19:28.200 --> 0:19:32.280 out the best call that Bob Trump he ever made 0:19:32.320 --> 0:19:35.480 was the call that some remember, some may not, where 0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:40.200 a woman called in her husband had been drinking, had 0:19:40.200 --> 0:19:45.160 been regularly beating her, and she was contemplating committing suicide, 0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:48.439 and he kept her on the line for two and 0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:52.480 a half hours until authorities. And remember now, it's a 0:19:52.560 --> 0:19:55.280 very different time that we live in now, where it's 0:19:55.320 --> 0:19:57.440 a little bit easier to be able to find somebody. 0:19:57.640 --> 0:20:00.879 Not easy, but easy. Err then, back then, did you 0:20:00.880 --> 0:20:02.720 ever have a chance to talk to him about that 0:20:02.760 --> 0:20:03.320 call at all? 0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:08.120 We never, amazingly we never did. But now that you're 0:20:08.119 --> 0:20:11.000 bringing out that was when he was at w LW radio. Yeah, 0:20:11.280 --> 0:20:15.560 when that happened, I remember it now, I'd forgotten about it. No, 0:20:15.840 --> 0:20:19.320 we never talked about it, but it was an incredibly 0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:24.119 great thing that he did. That Obviously, either people for 0:20:24.240 --> 0:20:27.879 good like I did, or people were never aware of 0:20:28.080 --> 0:20:32.040 what he did to basically save a person's life. I 0:20:32.080 --> 0:20:34.200 don't care who you are, you can keep a desperate 0:20:34.240 --> 0:20:37.600 person on the phone for two hours until help can 0:20:37.640 --> 0:20:42.240 come to take her off. That that suicide desire is 0:20:42.280 --> 0:20:46.480 an incredible thing that was. He was that kind of guy. 0:20:46.920 --> 0:20:49.520 You know, he was a tough guy. He gave that 0:20:49.560 --> 0:20:53.679 impression at times. He was an imposing guy physically, but 0:20:53.800 --> 0:20:56.080 he was just a good guy, you know. 0:20:56.160 --> 0:20:59.320 Dad one thing that he did and look, he had 0:20:59.359 --> 0:21:01.880 a lot of back, but he also had a lot 0:21:01.920 --> 0:21:02.960 of detractors. 0:21:03.320 --> 0:21:05.399 He really went to bat for Pete Rose. 0:21:08.520 --> 0:21:10.960 Well you know what, Tom, he not only went to 0:21:11.000 --> 0:21:13.000 bat for Pete Rose, he went to bat for Greg 0:21:13.040 --> 0:21:17.040 Cook that people don't even are not even aware of. 0:21:18.800 --> 0:21:22.800 I know that that the Bengals were wonderful in what 0:21:22.880 --> 0:21:26.520 they did to try and lift Greg Cook out of 0:21:26.560 --> 0:21:29.280 the demons that he had to deal with until he 0:21:30.080 --> 0:21:34.280 passed away. But Bob was instrumental in making that connection 0:21:34.440 --> 0:21:38.960 between the Bengals and the desperate situation that Greg Cook 0:21:39.080 --> 0:21:41.119 was in. And he was the type of guy that 0:21:41.240 --> 0:21:44.000 never you know, he never found his own chest and 0:21:44.000 --> 0:21:47.000 said look what I did, But he did and Pete 0:21:47.119 --> 0:21:49.840 was the same way he took at the time, in 0:21:49.880 --> 0:21:53.959
