But I don't know. 177 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 5: I did have if I could switch gears real quick 178 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 5: on my I'm a Miami alum and my Miami Red 179 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 5: Hawks are soaring undefeated. What I want to know is, uh, 180 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 5: you see A d should be looking at a little 181 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 5: switcheroo bringing Travis Steel back to the Queen City to 182 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 5: resurrect that program. I mean not, I love I would 183 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,559 Speaker 5: love him to be a Red Hawk for life, and 184 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:58,599 Speaker 5: maybe he's content there kind of like Signetti at you 185 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,959 Speaker 5: know where he's at and not wanting to move, but 186 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 5: you know, build something special in Oxford. But you know 187 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,839 Speaker 5: he he would be given a second shot at a 188 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 5: Cincinnati program. I think it would be the perfect hire 189 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 5: to switch west Miller out well or grab a seal Well. 190 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 2: It's going to be interesting to see how that whole 191 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 2: thing plays out because you've got buy out money involved, 192 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,959 Speaker 2: not as much if they elected to not bring back 193 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 2: Wes Miller, not as much as it would have been, 194 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 2: say at the end of last season, but it's still 195 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,319 Speaker 2: a big chunk of change. And I don't know if 196 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 2: you see has the money, And it's hard to believe 197 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,439 Speaker 2: we'd be saying that about U. See, I'm not sure 198 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 2: they have the money. Another day, about in Western Hills, Dave, 199 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,439 Speaker 2: Good morning, Welcome to seven under WLW. 200 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 4: How you doing, man, Tom? 201 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 7: I was going to ask you, how do you think? 202 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 7: What'd you think about the game? But I got another 203 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 7: question for you. 204 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: Yeah. 205 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,959 Speaker 7: So if Ellie data Cruz hits thirty home runs and 206 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 7: four has hit thirty of home runs, the Reds. 207 00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: Do what. 208 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 2: Well, you know, I think both of those guys can 209 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 2: hit thirty home runs, and I think it could mean 210 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 2: they're going to have a good team, a better offense 211 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 2: than they had last year. I think they both could 212 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 2: hit thirty home runs and they're a second or third 213 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 2: place team because I'm convinced that there are a lot 214 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 2: of other players on that team that have to improve. 215 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 2: You know, everybody's getting excited about Stuart. I'm excited about Stuart. 216 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 2: The guy was up here for what three weeks, let's see. 217 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,119 Speaker 2: I mean, teams didn't know anything about him. In September. 218 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 2: A lot of guys are up from the minor leagues 219 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,319 Speaker 2: with other teams that you're playing. And again, don't get 220 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,559 Speaker 2: me wrong, he might end up being the MVP of 221 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 2: the league. I don't know, but I do know enough 222 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 2: to say that I've been around it enough to have 223 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 2: seen guys that look good in September. And I've always 224 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 2: said two things, never be fooled by don't be fooled 225 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,319 Speaker 2: by spring training, and never be fooled by September. And 226 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 2: so we'll see Matt McClean. I mean, what's he gonna do. 227 00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,040 Speaker 2: I don't know what Spencer Steer gonna do. He's and 228 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,679 Speaker 2: it started taking a little turn the last couple of 229 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,559 Speaker 2: years from where he was three years ago. So this 230 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,679 Speaker 2: team's not going to be carried by two guys and 231 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 2: expect to win. You agree or disagree? 232 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 7: I totally agree with you. And where is in Canacion Strand? 233 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 7: Is he on a milk carton? Because nobody talks about 234 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 7: that guy anymore? 235 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 4: Well, you're right, and a boy, was I wrong about him? 236 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 7: Now? 237 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 2: I know he's had a lot of injuries. I thought 238 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,599 Speaker 2: of all their young players, he was going to be 239 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 2: the best offensive player of all of them. And you're 240 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 2: exactly right. You don't even see his name written anywhere 241 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 2: when they do a season preview of the Reds. 242 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 4: You're right. 243 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 7: No, Well, I hope Hunter Green stays with the Reds 244 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 7: because I don't know why everybody wants to trade that guy. 245 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 7: But we'll see. And I got some money on them 246 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 7: win of division, So let's cath that ticket this year. 247 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 2: Don alrighty, my man, thanks for the call, David. Let's 248 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 2: sneak in John out in Westwood, John, Good morning, what's 249 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 2: on your mind today? 250 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 8: All with the snowstorm and all the unrest out in Minnesota, 251 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 8: some good news came our way last week. Kansas became 252 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 8: the twentieth state. The Convention of States resolution, which has 253 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 8: to do with limiting the federal government's power and scope, 254 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 8: turn limits and a balance budget amendment. And we're more 255 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 8: than halfway to the magic number of thirty four, which 256 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 8: is two thirds of the states. And when we get 257 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 8: to two thirds thirty four states, we can call it 258 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,439 Speaker 8: Convention of States to reign in the federal government. So 259 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:22,599 Speaker 8: we're pretty excited about that. 260 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 2: All right, Well, wait a minute now, John, let me 261 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,959 Speaker 2: ask you a question. Okay, I think everybody and his brother, 262 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 2: except for those on the left, want to reign in 263 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:34,599 Speaker 2: the federal government and the federal government's powers. Do you 264 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 2: think the federal government should not be I mean, we 265 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 2: do have a constitution here. Do you think that the 266 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 2: federal government shouldn't be overseeing our borders or do you 267 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 2: think that the state of Arizona should make their own 268 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,439 Speaker 2: law as to who they allow in or keep out? 269 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 8: Well, I love the fact that Arizona should talk about 270 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 8: Arizona's No, the federal government had the duty to protect 271 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 8: the border, that's true. But does the federal government have 272 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 8: a have a way that they can stop federal education 273 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 8: dollars coming from a. 274 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 2: Well with you, I mean, you know you can. You can, Nick, 275 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 2: And I'm with you here. I mean we both probably 276 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 2: see this on the same level. But I'm saying you 277 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 2: can't have all or nothing, or if you if you're 278 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 2: gonna have all or nothing, it sounds like that is 279 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 2: what you probably have in mind. 280 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 4: You can't all of a sudden start cherry picking. 281 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 2: I mean, you can't all tens to decide a border 282 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 2: policy and Arizona to decide a border policy, because you 283 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 2: would have chaos. John, Let you and I talk about 284 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 2: this next Monday. Call back again next Monday. I got 285 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 2: to get to chuck in traffic. Thank you for calling 286 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:44,319 Speaker 2: back in town. Good morning. 287 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 1: No, I'm back in North Carol. I'm still in North Carolina, 288 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: coming back on Wednesday. 289 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,079 Speaker 4: So you watched the Super Bowl in North Carolina? 290 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 1: I did. 291 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 4: How much of it did you watch? 292 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 1: I watched the painfully watched the whole thing. Got about 293 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 1: as boring as watching grass grow. 294 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, I can't more people watch that whole thing. 295 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,599 Speaker 1: Well, I really didn't have a rooting interest in it. 296 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: I mean eating either one of those teams or teams 297 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: that I really paid a lot of attention to over 298 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 1: their existence. Maybe more when the New England team was 299 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 1: in the h who was in the American Football League 300 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 1: than in the years in which they've been in the 301 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: National Football League. But I had a rooting interest of 302 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 1: sorts because Drake May is the Carolina guy. It was 303 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: a disastrous night for him, and and but yeah, I 304 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 1: watched the whole blessed thing. Sure it is. 305 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 4: So you are probably a somewhat high falutin Super Bowl party. 306 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: I was at a party. 307 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 4: Yes, what would you categorize it as high falutin? 308 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 1: Well, I don't know what. You're definitely well, I mean. 309 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 4: Put it this way. Did they have let's say, pig 310 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 4: in a blanket for food? No, of course not. 311 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 1: But they of course they had chicken wing. Now they didn't. 312 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: They had chicken wings and chicken soup, and they had 313 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 1: a lot of stuff. It was pretty good. It was 314 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 1: pretty good. Okay, And they all dear friends of mine. 315 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 2: Okay, all right, I'm gonna get to the halftime show 316 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 2: in a minute. We're gonna We're gonna wait on that. 317 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 2: You were also down in North Carolina. You know, we 318 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 2: talk all the time about the state of college athletics 319 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 2: and nil and transfer portal and all this and all 320 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 2: the things that are wrong with it. 321 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 4: Saturday night, you're Alma Mater. 322 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 2: I think we saw something that was at least a 323 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 2: glimmer or a sparkle of hope by not only the 324 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 2: way the game ended between North Carolina and Duke, best 325 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 2: rivalry there is in college basketball, not even close the 326 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 2: way the game ended, but who ended it in Seth Tremble. 327 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 2: He is every thing that is a polar opposite of 328 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 2: the ills we see in college sports. 329 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: Today, no question, no question. In fact, I had a 330 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 1: long discussion with a guy about this very thing last night. 331 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 1: Here's a kid who has embraced being a four year 332 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 1: college student in Chapel Hill. Now, I'm sure the naysayers 333 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: would say, well, they have had no choice because his 334 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 1: career as an NBA player is very suspect when and 335 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: if the day comes that he will travel down that road. 336 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 1: But the fact of the matter is, and I'm sure 337 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 1: he's getting a nice piece of change because of the 338 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 1: NIL and playing at Carolina, But at the same time, 339 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 1: he's never ever wavered in his desire to be there 340 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 1: for his four year stay in collegiate basketball and also 341 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 1: get a degree. And so there could not have been 342 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: a greater end to the game that the Carolina wins 343 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 1: on the last second three point for me and a 344 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 1: kid that launched it with Seth Trimble, I thought it 345 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 1: was just absolutely sensation. 346 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, And for those who don't know who he is, 347 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 2: I mean you could draw a parallel. Let's just say, 348 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 2: for example, pick UC Xavier. Doesn't matter where the kid 349 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,440 Speaker 2: comes in, he doesn't play much his freshman year. His 350 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 2: sophomore year, he's coming off the bench. He's getting a 351 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 2: little bit more play in time, but he's not playing 352 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,880 Speaker 2: great his junior year. Last year, he has a nice 353 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 2: solid year, but he's not looked at as a great player, 354 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 2: but he is a leader. So imagine a guy now 355 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:35,920 Speaker 2: coming back for his senior year at UCS Xavier and 356 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 2: he's had his ups and downs like everybody else, but 357 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 2: especially had his ups and downs with the fan base, 358 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 2: with his teammates. Not meaning he's had an issues with 359 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 2: his teammates, but I'm sure they're confidence in him wavered 360 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 2: at times over the last couple of years. And so 361 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,199 Speaker 2: for him to then nail the shot which is going 362 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 2: to live forever in the story of rivalry between North 363 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 2: Carolina no matter where that kid goes, and he's from Wisconsin. 364 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 2: No matter where he goes the rest of his life, 365 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,880 Speaker 2: people are going to think good things about him, even 366 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 2: though that wasn't always the case. 367 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 1: Very true. And on top of that, Tom he's an 368 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 1: unusual young man because I knew about it. I knew 369 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 1: about what he did with his nil money. And the 370 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 1: guy reminded me of this last night. He bought a 371 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:32,399 Speaker 1: Ben and Jerry's ice cream shop on Franklin Street in 372 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:36,919 Speaker 1: Chapel Hill Main Dragon, Chapel Hill. They are not too 373 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:41,160 Speaker 1: many guys playing professional basketball, I mean playing college basketball, 374 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:46,879 Speaker 1: college sports period that has the where, the wherewithal and 375 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,440 Speaker 1: when he has it, it takes it and invests it 376 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 1: in his future, so to speak. So he's got a 377 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 1: lot of pluses going for him. And I really got 378 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,920 Speaker 1: to believe, as much as he professes to love Chapel Hill, 379 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,680 Speaker 1: if he's fortunate enough to play basket ketball in this country, 380 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 1: once he leaves Carolina or goes to Europe and plays, 381 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 1: he's going to come back and make his home in 382 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:08,640 Speaker 1: Chapel Hill. 383 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,160 Speaker 2: Okay, we got a couple of other things I want 384 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:17,879 Speaker 2: to get to here. Let's start with today pitchers and 385 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 2: catchers report for spring training. When you first got the 386 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 2: Reds job back in nineteen seventy four. There were still 387 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,440 Speaker 2: even then some guys that were having to work in 388 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 2: the off season to pay their bills, and oftentimes they 389 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 2: would show up they weren't in shape, et cetera, et cetera. 390 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 2: This in many ways is multiple ways has money changed 391 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,400 Speaker 2: the sport. These guys walk in the door today, Dad, 392 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 2: they get their physicals, they start working out day after tomorrow, 393 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 2: they are in well. You hope to believe they are 394 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 2: in tip top shape and ready to go. 395 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: No question. In fact, there have been a lot of 396 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,160 Speaker 1: people that have stated that because of the everything you said, 397 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:10,440 Speaker 1: this is all is being recorded, that spring training is 398 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,880 Speaker 1: too long, and I believe that. I mean, you play 399 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 1: thirty or thirty one games in spring training. I don't 400 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:19,159 Speaker 1: think you need that much time. Now that guys know 401 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 1: to come to camp weighing, because the manager meets with 402 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,920 Speaker 1: guys at the end of one season and goes over 403 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: you know, their season, what they need to do physically 404 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,640 Speaker 1: in the off season, and need to come to camp 405 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 1: at a reported way depending upon the player they're talking to. 406 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,160 Speaker 1: And rarely do you have one who comes to camp 407 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 1: not in shape. Because help have no fury like what 408 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: they tell you from the beginning of an off season 409 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 1: to the beginning of spring training. I've always felt like, 410 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: as much as I love to go to spring training, 411 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 1: you don't need to go as long as they do. 412 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: And I'm surprised that you know, with this possible workstoppage 413 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,160 Speaker 1: coming up at the end of the twenty twenty sixth 414 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 1: season looking a twenty seven, that they don't address that, 415 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,920 Speaker 1: because I think it would be beneficial for both the 416 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 1: players and the ball clubs not to incur the great 417 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 1: expense that it takes for guys to come to camp 418 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,639 Speaker 1: for six weeks or whatever the heck it is. But 419 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,160 Speaker 1: you're right, guys needed to work. A lot of guys 420 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 1: had to work in the offseason to make ends meet, 421 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:29,440 Speaker 1: and the guys used the used spring training for just 422 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,399 Speaker 1: what it was originally intended for, to get into shape 423 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 1: and lose weight. 424 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 2: Had a caller during the open line half hour between 425 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 2: eight and eight thirty. They called n asked a question said, 426 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 2: if La de la Cruz hits more than thirty home runs, 427 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 2: if au Haano Suarez hits more than thirty home runs, 428 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 2: the Reds will they win the division? My answer to 429 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 2: him I'm more interested in your answer was, Yeah, that 430 00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 2: could be a very good thing. But both of those 431 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 2: guys could hit forty home runs and you don't win 432 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,679 Speaker 2: the division, but it would certainly had a lot more offense, 433 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 2: and they've had in the last couple of years. 434 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 1: I think they're going to be a fun team to 435 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 1: watch and to have. Squirez, as you know as well 436 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:19,360 Speaker 1: as I do, he's a really nice young man. I mean, 437 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,680 Speaker 1: he's just first class in every respect. There is no 438 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 1: negative about him. He's always smiling, he's always upbeating positive 439 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 1: and I think he well, he said it, he turned 440 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 1: down more money. 441 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 2: Have we lost him, Liam? Okay, I don't know. Maybe 442 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,160 Speaker 2: we have to try his We did his cell phone. 443 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 2: Let's check in with Chuck and then we'll get back 444 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 2: to Marty here in a minute.

Tomorrow we're getting up to fifty one degrees 459 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 2: mix of sun and clouds again, and then starting on Wednesday. 460 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 4: Right where we normally are this time of the year. 461 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 2: Highs right around forty forty one, forty two, lows at 462 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,920 Speaker 2: night those still below freezing, but not nearly what we've 463 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 2: had in the last couple of weeks. All right, let's 464 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 2: get back at it. Marty Buttamanah, sorry about that. 465 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 1: I don't know what happened. I think, going back to 466 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 1: the Suarez and Dala Cruz thing, it's going to be 467 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 1: it's really going to be a fun team to watch play. 468 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 1: I think that you know, they went out in the 469 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,919 Speaker 1: season in the season last year and got the kid 470 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 1: at third base to shore up their defense on the infield. 471 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 1: I think still they've got to prove that their outfield 472 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 1: defense can be better, and I think it probably will 473 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:32,440 Speaker 1: be amazingly in one of the early polls. Since everybody 474 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: has done what they've done, and almost all the good 475 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: players that needed to be signed and stay at home 476 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 1: or go somewhere else, that's all been taken care of. 477 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,719 Speaker 1: So the rosters are fairly well set now and one 478 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 1: pole has had there is still finishing third in the 479 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 1: National League Central. They got Milwaukee winning it again, with 480 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 1: the Cubs second and the Reds third, which I find 481 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,920 Speaker 1: kind of interesting. I don't know what didn't read why 482 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,880 Speaker 1: they based their opinions on the fact that they don't 483 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:02,920 Speaker 1: have them any better than the third best team in 484 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 1: the division, but because I think they're going to be 485 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 1: better than that. I think the years experienced more experience 486 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: for their pitching is going to stand them in good stead. 487 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 1: I think Nick Crawl and Brad Metter went out and 488 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 1: improved their bullpen. I think, in some cases immensely improved 489 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 1: their bullpen. And so I don't know where the negative 490 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: lies when you when you try to determine how good 491 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 1: this team is going to be. But I think it's 492 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,479 Speaker 1: going to be a better team than we saw last year. 493 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 4: Yeah. 494 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, were you prepared to do this morning's Mondays with 495 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 2: Marty speaking Spanish? 496 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:44,160 Speaker 4: No, you weren't. 497 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: No, I don't don't. I didn't do war it very 498 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,199 Speaker 1: well in foreign language. 499 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 2: Okay, Well, then did you watch the halftime show last 500 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 2: night of the Super Bowl? 501 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 1: I did? 502 00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 4: And your thoughts? 503 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 1: Uh, Well, I could not understand the thing he said. 504 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:06,879 Speaker 1: I won't. I'm not going to lie to anybody about it. 505 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 1: I mean, if you spoke fluent Spanish, or you spoke 506 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 1: decent Spanish, then you would have a pretty good idea. 507 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: I had no idea. I know this from a layman's 508 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:24,640 Speaker 1: point of view. It was it was almost amazing production 509 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,159 Speaker 1: for a super Bowl that I've ever seen. Yeah. I mean, 510 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 1: they put a lot of time and effort into building 511 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,399 Speaker 1: the set for that Super Bowl. It was incredible. But no, 512 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: I did not understand the thing that he said our 513 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 1: song about. 514 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 2: You know, I was bothered by the fact that they 515 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 2: had a performer. And I have nothing against bad Bunny. 516 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 2: I don't know anything about the guy. I don't care 517 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,680 Speaker 2: what his political beliefs so are. It makes no difference 518 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,119 Speaker 2: to me one way or the other You and I 519 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 2: have been fortunate in that we have been around our 520 00:26:54,800 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 2: entire adult lives around Spanish speaking meant and their spouses 521 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,160 Speaker 2: for that matter, and their kids for that matter. I mean, 522 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 2: I don't know how many people in day to day 523 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,639 Speaker 2: life have had the opportunity as Americans like you and 524 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 2: I have. And there are others to be around people 525 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:18,359 Speaker 2: from a Dominican republic, Venezuela, Cuba, multiple other countries, uh, 526 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 2: Puerto Rico, which is you know, technically part of the 527 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:24,639 Speaker 2: United States, but primarily Spanish speaking. I just don't to me, 528 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 2: it's the biggest single cultural event in the United States 529 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,920 Speaker 2: every single year, non sports fans. You've got one hundred 530 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:35,639 Speaker 2: and twenty one hundred and thirty one hundred and fifty 531 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 2: million people single, biggest day of a television show in America. 532 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 2: And I'm just a little surprised at a halftime show 533 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,200 Speaker 2: not was necessarily done by bad Buddy, because I would 534 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 2: bet he probably speaks English well enough to have done 535 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 2: all of his songs in English, but that there it 536 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 2: was Spanish at halftime. 537 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:56,159 Speaker 4: I was a little surprised by that. 538 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,880 Speaker 2: And I don't think it makes anybody a bad guy 539 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 2: or a racist or anything else even. 540 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 1: Close to that for saying that, no, I know and 541 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,480 Speaker 1: I agree with you one hundred percent. Uh, I scratched 542 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:14,159 Speaker 1: my head and and wondered. I said it more than 543 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 1: once in the last week. I'd love to be able 544 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,879 Speaker 1: to sit down with Roger Goodella, whoever made those decisions. 545 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, he had to 546 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,879 Speaker 1: say yes or no. And what prompted them to settle 547 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:30,440 Speaker 1: on bad money as the halftime show, Uh, you know, 548 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't understand that. But at the same time, 549 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 1: and I and if they if they wanted to create 550 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,960 Speaker 1: controversy and people talking about the league and the whole 551 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 1: nine yards, they were very, very successful in that endeavor. 552 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 1: But I had no idea how they settled on that 553 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 1: with With the kind of choices and the kind of 554 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 1: bank roll that they have, they could have had anybody 555 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 1: they wanted to. 556 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,479 Speaker 4: Yeah, there's no doubt they'd be lined up. 557 00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: Yeah. 558 00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 2: All right, Hope, you have a great rest of your 559 00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:03,640 Speaker 2: tay today.
