Speaker 4: slated for two thirty to six. But then I'm off

26
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 4: on Monday, so it feels like a long weekend, even

27
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,520

00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 4: much better. Last time I was on the air down

00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 4: the Hall, I had the two polls, Daner and Fritchner. Oh,

32

65
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 2: Yep. It was.

66
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 3: Uh it was very honest and very open, and I

67
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 3: appreciate that from Richard Patino, so we'll play that for

68
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 3: you today. News from yesterday about the Reds, Ellie day

69
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 3: La Cruz reported to spring training and it's about time,

70
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:34,239
Speaker 3: Ellie and major League Baseball has approved. Phil Castellini is

71
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 3: the new owner of the Cincinnati Reds, oh Boy, officially

72
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 3: exceeding his father Bob, who has led the team for

73
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 3: the past two decades. Congratulations Phil, Phil Castellini not the best, Phil,

74
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 3: I know.

75
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 4: Who's the best? Phil? You know your dad, of course, yeah,

76
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 4: I mean I was just setting you up for that.

77
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 3: Any big takeaway from Phil Castellini.

78
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 4: I think a lot of Reds fans feel disappointed, but

79
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 4: not surprised. I think there was this kind of hope

80
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 4: that major League Baseball would be like and the other

81
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 4: owners would be like, no, Phil, we don't want you

82
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 4: to run the team. But I think for a lot

83
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 4: of Reds fans, you understandably are disappointed with Phil Castellini

84
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 4: being the guy in charge because he has greatly and

85
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 4: repeatedly offended the fan base. He's made you feel like

86
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 4: you don't matter and made it feel like they don't

87
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 4: care about you. And now that's the guy who's in charge.

88
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 4: But I will say this about Phil. This kind of

89
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 4: happened at the end of twenty twenty four and in

90
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 4: the following months after he was you know, that whole

91
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 4: thing began. The Reds did make a run at Kyle Schwarber,

92
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 4: and they did exceed their allotted budget to go and

93
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 4: get Auhanio Suarez. Now are those two things directly because

94
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 4: of Phil? Probably not, maybe not, but he is the

95
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 4: person who has to sign off on that. So in

96
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 4: that case, I'm hoping that's a sign of things to come.

97
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 4: And Phil actually uses this opportunity to maybe put his

98
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 4: own stamp on things, his own twist on things, and

99
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 4: I'm willing to give him a chance. Sure, I don't

100
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 4: have a lot of hope. I have a lot of doubts,

101
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 4: but I'm willing to give him a chance. Yeah.

102
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 3: To finish up our conversation from yesterday around Nick Castianos,

103
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 3: Lance McAllister tweeted it out last night about would you

104
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 3: be open as Reds fans to adding Nick Castianos back

105
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 3: to the roster. I think it was fifty six to

106
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 3: forty or fifty four percent to forty six percent in

107
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 3: favor of no. But that was more people than I

108
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 3: thought that would say yes to a reunion with Castianas,

109
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 3: who apparently drinks beers in the dugout.

110
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 4: I'll tell you part of me once. I might play

111
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 4: it on Sunday, the five minutes from Lance's show last night.

112
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 4: I have never laughed so hard in my life at

113
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 4: a sports talk radio show in way that Lance laid

114
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 4: out all the reasons why I don't think you should

115
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 4: be interested in Nick Castianos and Reds fans back with

116
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 4: why they should. Yep, that was some of the most

117
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 4: entertaining sports talk radio I've ever heard. I might play

118
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 4: it back on Sunday. I like this.

119
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 3: NFL Wise, here in Cincinnati, the Bengals make their final

120
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 3: coaching staff official. Dan Pitcher offensive coordinator after a round

121
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 3: of interviews to be head coach and offensive coordinator. Elsewhere,

122
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 3: James Casey adds run game coordinator. Jordan Sulkin moves from

123
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 3: assistant wide receivers to assistant quarterback with Freddy Knight gone,

124
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 3: Davis Keter is now the assistant wide receivers coach. Ronnie

125
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 3: Ragula has been promoted from defensive assistant to linebackers coach,

126
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 3: assistant linebackers coach, and Mike Moon moves up to assistant

127
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 3: defensive line. The moonman, the moonman, the moonman. How about this, Austin,

128
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,239
Speaker 3: And this makes me laugh as well. And it's also

129
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 3: a level of pettiness. But maybe on Fridays we need

130
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 3: to make fun at oh Adam Schefter has reported that

131
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 3: the NFL has informed all thirty two teams today in

132
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 3: a memo that it prevailed in its grievance versus the

133
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 3: NFLPA and its quote team report cards. An arbitrator determined

134
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 3: that the nflpa's conduct violated the CBA in order to

135
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 3: stop making public any.

136
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:23,239
Speaker 4: Future report cards.

137
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 3: So those report cards that we get and we talk

138
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 3: about and we make fun of every year, those are

139
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,239
Speaker 3: now done because the NFL doesn't want those to be released.

140
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe the teams just don't like their grades so

141
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 3: they don't want them to be seen.

142
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 4: Well, here's a thing. Over the course of the report

143
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 4: that was or the decision, the NFL apparently or the

144
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 4: NFLPA admitted that they cherry pick which results to share,

145
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 4: what to add weight to like, They very clearly had

146
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 4: an agenda that they admitted to trying to spread with

147
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 4: the report cards. Well, if you would have just done it, honestly,

148
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 4: maybe you don't lose this grievance or lose this ruling

149
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 4: or whatever it is.

150
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 3: Who's going to hold the team's responsible now for the

151
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 3: care of the family.

152
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 4: Clearly the words trying to make the owners look bad

153
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 4: and so because.

154
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 3: Of that the owners look better or else trying to

155
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 3: get the owners to do stuff that they feel like

156
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 3: needs to be done. Maybe that's the way they feel like,

157
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 3: that's their voice for they definitely since families getting better

158
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 3: care at the facility, Yeah, they definitely are trying to

159
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 3: make them look bad and trying to make change. That's

160
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 3: the point for sure.

161
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 4: But also you got to do a little bit of

162
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 4: a better job of saying, Okay, here's the things they

163
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 4: actually do do well as well. If you admit in

164
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 4: court that you were pushing an agenda, you're gonna lose.

165
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 4: Good news is that they can still do the surveys,

166
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 4: they just can't publicize them. So, okay, what about the

167
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 4: trinidadad Chambliss situation? Remember him? What is going on?

168
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 5: So?

169
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 3: Trinidad was the old miss quarterback last year? Remember him?

170
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 6: Yeah?

171
00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 4: I remember?

172
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,199
Speaker 3: And then they came back and he wanted another year

173
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 3: and they right away said no, you can't get another year.

174
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 3: So here's the issue I have. He has now been

175
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 3: granted an extra year of eligibility by a state court judge.

176
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 3: Which state court judge, that's probably gonna work pretty well

177
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 3: in your favor if you got someone from the state

178
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 3: that you're playing in. In a ruling that lasted well

179
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 3: of an hour, Judge Robert Whitwell ruled the Chambers clearly

180
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 3: met criteria to receive a medical red shirt for a

181
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 3: sixth season. Now this can still be pushed back on

182
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 3: by the NC double A. But here's my issue with this, Austin,

183
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 3: what has old miss been doing do you think since

184
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 3: that decision came down till now, probably showing up their

185
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 3: quarterback crew, getting guys in place. Now you're going to

186
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 3: go to those guys and say, sorry, Trinidad is gonna

187
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,079
Speaker 3: be our guy again. Now you gotta worry about the

188
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 3: w rest of It's just a mess.

189
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 4: And how about Trinidad Chambliss signing autographs for the judge?

190
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 4: Oh gosh, that was cool, unbelievable, wasn't it. What a mess?

191
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 3: Isn't what a beautiful? What a beautiful mess? This is

192
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 3: speaking of a mess. Last night, the man that according

193
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 3: to Austin has ruined the All Star Game. Lebron James

194
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 3: became the oldest player in NBA history to record a

195
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 3: triple double.

196
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 4: Did you see how he did it? Oh?

197
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 3: Now, Lebron has missed a lot of games this year already.

198
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 3: Of course, Lebron is not eligible eligible to be on

199
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 3: all NBA teams because of how many games he's missed.

200
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 3: But last night Austin, with the team up twenty plus

201
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 3: points under two minutes, Lebron was still in the game.

202
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 3: A guy who's had to rest a lot this year.

203
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:39,839
Speaker 3: What do you think he was doing in the game

204
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 3: about twenty plus points with two minutes.

205
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 4: Left, Probably trying to get a triple double?

206
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 3: Toga trying to get then, So I don't have any

207
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 3: problem the oldest he did.

208
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 4: So in garbage time. I didn't like it. I don't

209
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 4: have any problem with that.

210
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 3: Speaking of things I don't like, I don't like controversy

211
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 3: at the Olympics. Oh, did you see what happened with

212
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:04,719
Speaker 3: the ice dance scoring amid the French controversy? So the

213
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 3: pair of American skaters were beaten out by a couple

214
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 3: French skaters, Madison Clark and Evan Bates, were beaten out

215
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 3: by Lawrence Fournier. And I don't even I'm not going

216
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 3: to try to pronounce the other name. But Lawrence's team

217
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 3: beat out the Americans. And I think there's nine judges

218
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 3: and for the judges clearly had the Americans as the winner.

219
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 3: For the judges had the French team is the winner.

220
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 3: And then the French judge Austin scored the American team

221
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 3: so poorly that the French team ended up winning the

222
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 3: gold medal. Now, this was a wide range of scoring

223
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 3: everyone every all the other eight were very close in scoring.

224
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 3: The French judge, it was egregious how low they judged

225
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 3: the American team.

226
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 2: I don't like.

227
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 3: Controversy at the Olympics makes me angry, makes me sad.

228
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 3: Gold medal count we'll get to later on in the show.

229
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 3: This afternoon. How about the Big Ten, Austin, They are

230
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 3: now eyeing a twenty four team college football playoff. Your thoughts,

231
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 3: No title games, no conference title games. The Big Ten

232
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 3: right now circulating a document that lays out what a

233
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 3: twenty four team college FOOTBA playoff would look like, including

234
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 3: the elimination of the conference championship games, a twenty three

235
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,559
Speaker 3: plus one selection model and an additional weekend of on

236
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 3: campus college football playoff home games. We already know the

237
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 3: formats can remain at twelve for the twenty twenty six season.

238
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 3: What do you make of the twenty four team proposal

239
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 3: from the Big Ten?

240
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:42,959
Speaker 4: Stupid? Dumb, I get it. Anything else. I don't think

241
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 4: it's I don't think it's very smart. That's all I

242
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 4: got for you.

243
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 2: I don't think it's very smart. Stupid.

244
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 3: Some other things that are happening. How about what's going

245
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,319
Speaker 3: on in the NBA. Teams are trying to tank Austin

246
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 3: and they're pretty openly doing it. The Utah Jazz. Perhaps

247
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 3: no other team trying to tank more than Utah, because

248
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 3: why if U Tall picks in the top eight, they

249
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 3: get to keep their pick. If they're outside of the

250
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 3: top eight, Oklahoma City gets that pick. So what is

251
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 3: Utah doing?

252
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 5: Well?

253
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 3: They were playing against the Orlando Magic on February seventh

254
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 3: and the Miami Heat on the ninth. During those two games,

255
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 3: U Tall benched their starters in the fourth quarter, even

256
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 3: though the game was tied or well in the balance.

257
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 3: They sat their starters for the whole fourth quarter. Jazz

258
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 3: have since been fined five hundred thousand dollars. Pacers have

259
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 3: been fined one hundred thousand dollars, with the league saying

260
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 3: both teams are sitting healthy players, while noting that the

261
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 3: moves compromise its integrity.

262
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:39,199
Speaker 4: That won't be tolerated.

263
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 2: Tanking in the.

264
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 3: National Basketball Association, which has been happening for a long time,

265
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 3: but now they have to make things happen for it.

266
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 4: What else has happened?

267
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 7: Oh?

268
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 3: Do you remember that the Major League Baseball is getting

269
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 3: the ABS system this year?

270
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,079
Speaker 4: I did. Yeah, I almost forgot about that until I

271
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,479
Speaker 4: saw it today. They made a couple of different changes

272
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 4: to the rule book, but most notably, they have finalized

273
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 4: what things will look like for the Automated Ball Strike

274
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 4: System for twenty twenty six. Basically, the biggest change is

275
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 4: that if you go into extra innings and you've lost

276
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 4: all your challenges, then you'll be given, well in an

277
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 4: extra one for every extra innings. But yeah, you can

278
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 4: have a video replay and an ABS call at the

279
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 4: same time. A pitch cannot be challenged if a position

280
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 4: player is pitching, which I think that would be kind

281
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 4: of fun. Yeah, but extra you said they get an

282
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 4: extra one? Yeah, Cotch, that's the big thing. If a

283
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 4: team enters extra innings without a challenge, they'll be given

284
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 4: an extra one every inning. The challenges will not accumulate

285
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 4: if not used. Teams will never have more than one

286
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 4: challenge per extra inning unless they entered extra innings with

287
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 4: their original two intact. So that's basically the big thing.

288
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 4: But yeah, I'm excited about this. Yeah, we'll discuss a

289
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 4: big college basketball weekend coming up ahead. Also, Oh, can

290
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 4: I say one other thing about the Major League rule book? Yes,

291
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 4: I complained about this last year during the season, and

292
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 4: it makes me feel like my voice was heard. Owners

293
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 4: voted to enforce a rule that requires base coaches to

294
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 4: remain in their box until a pitch is delivered. All right,

295
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 4: coaches got to stay in the box. Thank you, major

296
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 4: League Baseball. The boxes. If the guys are never in

297
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 4: the box, stay in a damn box. And thankfully I

298
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 4: hope that's enforced. What it doesn't say is what happens

299
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 4: if they're not ejected. You no longer get a base

300
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 4: coach for that. I like that. What if it happens,

301
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 4: you don't get a third base coach for the rest

302
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 4: of the game. I actually really like it. I do too.

303
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 4: You have everybody at the top step of the dugout

304
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 4: waving their own college basketball news. A tough break for

305
00:15:55,760 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 4: North Carolina. Their star Caleb Wilson, a super fresh and

306
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 4: projected top five pick, is now out with no timetable

307
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 4: for return.

308
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 3: He fractured his left hand in a loss at Miami.

309
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 3: During the game, he had X rays taken. They were negative,

310
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 3: so he returned in the second half to play. They

311
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 3: got back to Chapel Hill another X ray Doune revealed

312
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 3: the fracture and the evaluation process is now going on

313
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 3: to determine the timetable. That's a huge loss for one

00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 3: You just you seem like a different person today. I

374
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 3: would assume it's because of what's coming up on Sunday.

375
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 3: Give me, uh, give me a little bit of an

376
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 3: outlook here going into the new NASCAR season.

377
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 7: Though.

378
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 8: The one thing is that, uh, you know, NASCAR has

379
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 8: had a rough year in the off season. You know

380
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 8: Michael Jordan twenty three to eleven racing and also Front

381
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 8: Row Motorsports, Uh take you know had the unis that

382
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 8: nobody else had in seventy five plus years. What to

383
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 8: take NASCAR to to court? Wow, and and try to

384
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 8: even things up?

385
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 4: Who won?

386
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 2: He did?

387
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:05,360
Speaker 9: Wow?

388
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 8: And all of a sudden, it's like you know, you're

389
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 8: you're going. You know they they tried to I guess,

390
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 8: I don't know if they tried to settle it or not. Now,

391
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 8: all of a sudden, the ugliness started because Steve Phelps,

392
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 8: who was one of the one of the key members

393
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 8: of NASCAR's group lost his job because of an email

394
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 8: he called the Hall of Famer Richard Childress a hillbilly,

395
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 8: a redneck, and a few other things and stupid, you

396
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 8: don't like that came out in court and it's like

397
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 8: that was that was the beginning of the end, and

398
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 8: they said, you know, we're settling this, so all the

399
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 8: teams are in on the charters and everything else.

400
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 2: And uh, but you know, and then they had that.

401
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 8: Then you go into a new playoff system, which I

402
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,199
Speaker 8: think is good that you're going to have the chase,

403
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 8: which is going to be you know, whittle it down.

404
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 8: But then also they incorporated the old points system that

405
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 8: basically from Sunday at two thirty or two forty five

406
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 8: whenever the race starts until November whatever it is at

407
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 8: the end of the season. You got to be on

408
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 8: point every week because whoever wins Sunday is not locked

409
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:15,120
Speaker 8: in like the past few years for the playoffs, where

410
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 8: they could, you know, do this, do that, kind of

411
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,360
Speaker 8: take a week off or something like that. You got

412
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 8: to be, you know what, to the wall every week.

413
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 3: I get you, I hear you now each every Sunday,

414
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 3: so you it's got to be a good time for

415
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 3: the season to start. Yeah, get the negativity of the

416
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 3: off season.

417
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 2: It's a new look. I mean the the the lawsuit

418
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 2: was ugly.

419
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 8: The lawsuit was very ugly and it and it and

420
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 8: an exposed NASCAR to you know, what they've been doing

421
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 8: for years and it was a monopoly. And Michael Jordan said,

422
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 8: wait a minute, we're going to go and we're going

423
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 8: to sue him. And I'm thinking, well, no, the only

424
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 8: guy I know that has beaten the I R S

425
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 8: and court is Mike Brown. And I'm thinking, there's no

426
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,360
Speaker 8: way on earth that Michael Jordan is going to beat

427
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 8: NASCAR in court.

428
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 2: But they did.

429
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 4: Man, you think those are the two most powerful Michaels

430
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 4: on the planet, Brown and Jordan.

431
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 2: I say so, yes, Yeah, I was.

432
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 4: I was shocked. I started doing some homework for the race.

433
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I look at a name like Ryan Blaney

434
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 3: seventeen career wins, Chase Elliott nineteen career wins. How about

435
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 3: Kyle Larson's got twenty nine career wins? Bad Brad Kazlowski

436
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 3: and his cane that he's walking with right now, thirty

437
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 3: six career wins. Kirk or Kyle Busch sixty three career

438
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 3: wins and yet as oh for Daytona. Correct, all of

439
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 3: those racers have yet to ever win at Daytona. Would

440
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 3: one of those racers that I just mentioned be on

441
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 3: your card as a potential winner this Sunday?

442
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 4: I would say so, yes, Okay.

443
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 8: I think Kyle Larson, Kyle Larson could be beat those

444
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 8: guys at Daytona in a tricycle. Wow, he can drive.

445
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,919
Speaker 8: He can drive anything on this planet. He just got

446
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 8: a new five year deal with Hendrick Motorsports. And you

447
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,239
Speaker 8: know that guy, I mean, he starts what is it

448
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 8: he starts eighth on sun in row four that the

449
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 8: two time defending champion William Byron is starting in the

450
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 8: thirty ninth spot in the second last row, so he's got.

451
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 2: To he'll have a long way to go to.

452
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 8: What he'll do is he'll just sit back and just

453
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 8: kind of you know, you know, work his way up

454
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 8: toward the front and try to get it into position

455
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 8: where he has a shot at midway pointer at the

456
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 8: end to go after three in a row. Nobody's ever

457
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 8: won this thing three in a row.

458
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 3: Who are some names that that you're watching out for

459
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 3: when it comes to Sunday.

460
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 2: Well, I think that.

461
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 8: I mean, Kyle Busch has got to be the hungriest

462
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 8: person in the world because he's oh for twenty. He

463
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,120
Speaker 8: does have a poll in the in the spring race

464
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 8: at Daytona, but he got the poll for this one.

465
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 8: And and Chase Briscoe was last year's pole sitter and

466
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 8: he starts second. You can't rule out like Joey Logano,

467
00:23:55,560 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 8: Chase Elliott Blainey, as you mentioned Kyle Larson. You know,

468
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,919
Speaker 8: Christopher Bell has got a good always had a good car.

469
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 8: Let's see who else, Alex, But you can't Denny Hamlin.

470

491
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 2: I would say so outside.

492
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 3: Yes, now you mentioned the name Denny Hamlin. Yes, Denny Hamlin.

493

494
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 2: Correct.

495
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 3: Do you think there's a coup? Do you think there's

496
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 3: something NASCAR does because of what Jordan did this offseason?

497
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 3: Do you think they try to do everything in their

498
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 3: power to make sure that Denny Hamlin doesn't win? No, okay,

499
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,919
Speaker 3: no coups, no way, no, okay, No. If they do,

500
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 3: they'll go, they'll go to another court.

501
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:25,919
Speaker 4: Would Jordan win?

502
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 2: Not again? Probably?

503
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:28,679
Speaker 4: So okay, But you.

504
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 8: Got to realize, I mean that sport started, it's been

505
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 8: a monopoly for years m and and whatever, and and

506
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 8: you know, wherever NASCAR wants to go, they go, and

507
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 8: wherever they want to leave they leave, like here at

508
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,959
Speaker 8: Sparta with a Kentucky speedway. Sure, they just left him

509
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 8: and said, Okay, boys, that's it. We're leaving and taking

510
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 8: the Quaker State four hundred to Atlanta and you're off.

511
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 8: You're off the schedule. And they've been off the schedule

512
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 8: now for what five years? Yeah, so I mean, and

513
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,679
Speaker 8: I don't think they're coming back. So they got a

514
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,880
Speaker 8: big old race track down there with you know, nobody,

515
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 8: no nobody going to it.

516
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 3: There was once a great Dale Earnheart that said, the

517
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 3: winner ain't the one with the fastest car, the fastest car,

518
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 3: it's the one who refuses to lose.

519
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 2: Correct.

520
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 4: Who's that this weekend? Who's your winner?

521
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:18,679
Speaker 2: I gotta go?

522
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 8: I mean it's tough, I would say Kyle Larson, Okay,

523
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 8: I mean that guy. He's always in the mix, He's

524
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,439
Speaker 8: always there at the end. And uh, it's gonna be,

525
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,639
Speaker 8: you know what, to the wall again like I said,

526
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 8: when uh, when it with tend to go and these

527
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,919
Speaker 8: guys are fighting for it because you know, like I said,

528
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 8: I mean, you know now it's all points, it's not

529
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 8: it's not winning you're in Uh. You know, whoever wins

530
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 8: Sunday has to battle it out for the next race

531
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 8: and then the next race. Each week it has to

532
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 8: you have to perform. And you know if you have

533
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 8: a if you have like a D n F or

534
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 8: get caught in the wreck early on trouble that that

535
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 8: that could you you won't make the chase. Yeah, because

536
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 8: you don't have enough points. And and and I think

537
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,439
Speaker 8: that's a good thing where they brought back part of

538
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,919
Speaker 8: the chase. And then the other half is that you

539
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,439
Speaker 8: run for the points. Because for umpteen years they they

540
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 8: ran for points and whoever had the most wins of

541
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 8: that it had the most points, and that was the champion.

542
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 8: Now it's like, you know, they're gonna you gotta get

543
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 8: the points and then they're gonna take the top ten

544
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 8: or whatever. It's gonna be uh and uh and and

545
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 8: go to the chase and see what happens.

546
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 3: Kyle Petty also once said it best sag that block

547
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,119
Speaker 3: me once. That's fair, block me twice. You're going in

548
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 3: the grand stands.

549
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 4: Oh, the grand stands. That's what he said.

550
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 2: Wow, Now what.

551
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 7: Do you know?

552
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 4: Kyle Petty had that in him. That's what I thought.

553
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 4: What do you believe now we're talking three wide at

554
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 4: the end four wide?

555
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 8: Oh, it might be a finish must much like Talladega,

556
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 8: But I don't think, but that track is not that

557
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 8: wide like Talladega is.

558
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 3: Robins correct, trying to get that clean air? What do

559
00:27:58,320 --> 00:27:59,200

00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:10,120
Speaker 3: You don't want to get that money there?

566
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 4: You got the Sega. I think you need to get

567
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,120
Speaker 4: behind Tony to do a little bump draft in there.

568
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 4: You don't know about drafting either. You don't have it.

827
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 3: what's going on?

828
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 14: Man?

829
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:45,840
Speaker 4: How are you?

830
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 14: I'm doing great technically, I've got Jordan's on the ground.

831
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:50,760
Speaker 7: Not fuck.

832
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:57,799
Speaker 3: You and me both, Charlie Man, Okay, okay, Charlie, you've

833
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 3: you've had a chance to get out to to good Year.

834
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 3: Has anything stood out to you in the short amount

835
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 3: of time you've been there thus far.

836
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 14: Talking to the guys that I think there's a vibe

837
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,799
Speaker 14: that I didn't quite recognize until I caught up with

838
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:13,799
Speaker 14: each of them about where they're at and how they're

839
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:17,240
Speaker 14: feeling individually. And that's the fact that you look around

840
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 14: this team and even though they made the playoffs and

841
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:22,439
Speaker 14: took a step forward, a lot of guys head down

842
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 14: years in twenty five and not that there's frustration, but

843
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 14: there's a little bit of that edge about how last

844
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:31,400
Speaker 14: year went. You know, Stevenson had it down here, Steer

845
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 14: had it down here, McClane, Ellie Marte opened the year

846
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 14: in triple A, didn't have a full season, Fenton up

847
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:41,920
Speaker 14: and down Green, A lot of these guys feel like

848
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 14: they weren't even quite themselves. So now you flash forward

849
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 14: to spring training and I mean, I get here pretty early,

850
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 14: and this is the first year. I'm not trying to

851
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 14: say this about me, but like, this is the first

852
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 14: year where the guys are beating me to the facility,

853
00:41:55,160 --> 00:42:00,359
Speaker 14: like they're already here working and grinding, and I into

854
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 14: the fact the days like on the first day of

855
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 14: pitchers and catchers reporting, seven of the team's top hitters

856
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 14: were ready to do live abs and they got some

857
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 14: unbelievable competition there, like pitchers, excuse me, hitters haven't even

858
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:16,799
Speaker 14: reported yet. But everyone's here and everyone's working hard, like

859
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 14: truly because there's that kind of edge.

860
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, what does the overall vibe the

861
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 3: energy that that feels different to you? It feels I

862
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:29,319
Speaker 3: don't want to say refreshed. But you had in a

863
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 3: guy like johanneo Suarez and it sounds like everyone's excited,

864
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 3: including him, for that. But does it feel like a

865
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:38,880
Speaker 3: confident team? Does it feel like a team carrying themselves differently,

866
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 3: knowing what's ahead.

867
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,919
Speaker 14: They're older, and it's almost very practical about what these

868
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 14: guys need to do to get better, Whether it's you know,

869
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 14: first base defense or thing with your swing or pitch recognition.

870
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:54,240
Speaker 14: Like it's a group of guys who have had learned

871
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 14: on the fly in the big League and lived with

872
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 14: the challenges that come with that, who now have enough

873
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:03,359
Speaker 14: days to both literally and metaphorically to know exactly what

874
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 14: they need to do. And I'm they just get the work.

875
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 14: It's like it sounds cliche, but Terry Francona says it

876
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:10,800
Speaker 14: and he means it like it's just a blue collar,

877
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 14: hard working group of guys that makes for a good clubhouse.

878
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:18,239
Speaker 4: Do you think that there is an advantage that just

879
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 4: about everybody knows what their role is going to be,

880
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:24,720
Speaker 4: that there's a defined kind of pecking order or role

881
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 4: of what is expected of everybody, that there's less questions

882
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 4: than there are h or have been in the past.

883
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 4: Do you think that's an advantage for them?

884
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 14: It's kind of a huge not story, but it's kind

885
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 14: of the huge piece of camp. Like the Dodgers are

886
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 14: pretty well set. They know exactly how it's gonna look.

887
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 14: To write obviously at the Dodgers, but there really aren't

888
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 14: many teams that you can say that about, and the

889
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:49,719
Speaker 14: rec are one of those.

890
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 15: Teams.

891
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 14: It goes down all the way even to the fact

892
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 14: that like they know who's gonna first, third, and force,

893
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 14: and we can talk about who they're opposite second art

894
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 14: I'm working on that, but the fact that they have

895
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:03,480
Speaker 14: that much settled is rare. It's a sign of the

896
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 14: fact that they are very confident that they know what

897
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 14: they have. Like literally a year ago today, I remember

898
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 14: talking to one of the high people here and I

899
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 14: was and he's gonna play third, and they said, we

900
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 14: don't know, And it ended up being a four man

901
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:18,759
Speaker 14: battle between Jamer and CPS and Gavin Locke too. I

902
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:20,399
Speaker 14: like Kevin a lot, but he can't make to throw

903
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 14: from third and Marte who was in the third baseman,

904
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 14: Like the Reds have those answers now and will not

905
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 14: over were perfect and some of them have plenty of flaws.

906
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 14: There's a very very clear vision of what this season.

907
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:38,759
Speaker 3: You mentioned the two hole, and that is something that

908
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:41,319
Speaker 3: I think, out out of a lot that is known

909
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:44,239
Speaker 3: of spring training, that is still a question that is

910
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:47,360
Speaker 3: out there. I thought it was revealing on the Hotspove

911
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 3: League earlier in the week, with Terry Francona mentioning that

912
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:52,840
Speaker 3: maybe at times last year, they stuck with Matt McLean

913
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:56,319
Speaker 3: a little bit too much and waited for him to

914
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:58,799
Speaker 3: hopefully turn things around. So as you look at what's

915
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:01,239
Speaker 3: going to happen with the two hole getting into the

916
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:04,279
Speaker 3: meat of spring training, what are you expecting in that role?

917
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:07,879
Speaker 14: I talked with the Tarry Francona a lot about this

918
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:12,320
Speaker 14: this morning actually, and what he really stressed and where

919
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 14: he's at is how these guys do verse left handed

920
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 14: pitching is going to be key because of how many

921
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 14: times they felt teams just able to sleep walk through

922
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:22,960
Speaker 14: the cat and mouse game and just bring in the

923
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:24,799
Speaker 14: left hander at the top of the order when the

924
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 14: Reds were coming up with Freedo one and l E three.

925
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 14: They really are good at value hitting lefties at that

926
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 14: two spot. Now, Marte has been bad versus lefties, I know. Organizationally,

927
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 14: one of the things that got the most attention during

928
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:39,279
Speaker 14: the off season. With the plan and the work that

929
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 14: Martin has been doing to improve vers lefties. We'll see

930
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:47,319
Speaker 14: where that goes. Spear hits lefties very well. My line

931
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:53,280
Speaker 14: of projection right now would have fear hitting second. Franconiaterated today. Ideally,

932
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:54,880
Speaker 14: if it's all said and done, the plays do we

933
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 14: think he is? And he fixed in perfectly there. One

934
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:01,719
Speaker 14: thing too, I asked, was why not Ellie? And because

935
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:04,879
Speaker 14: I kind of think that getting him those extract bapps

936
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 14: just getting your top guys at the top of sporder

937
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 14: and let Ellie be more of a run score as

938
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:11,839
Speaker 14: opposed to have to be more of an RBI guy.

939
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 14: But but Keito said the left right stuff was what

940
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 14: he was putting the most emphasis sports with a lone

941
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 14: of construction.

942
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:23,319
Speaker 4: Speaking of Eli, you wrote about his leg kick and

943
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 4: what that means, and it does kind of coincide with

944
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:29,440
Speaker 4: what you said to us earlier this offseason, that the

945
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 4: Reds are trying to hit home runs. Can you explain

946
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 4: this leg kick and Ellie swing, why it went away

947
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:37,360
Speaker 4: and why it's back.

948
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:41,480
Speaker 14: This is a huge deal and Ellie, like, I mean,

949
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:43,279
Speaker 14: we know Ellie Like, he's not going to come out

950
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:45,399
Speaker 14: and say I want to hit forty homers this year,

951
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:48,960
Speaker 14: Like that's not him. But the leg kick is him

952
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:52,799
Speaker 14: saying that without saying it. He debuted with it in

953
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:55,439
Speaker 14: twenty twenty three and there was a mighty like kick

954
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 14: on the that ball had a family swing used it

955
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 14: in twenty twenty four. What were you talking about out.

956
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:02,839
Speaker 14: Ellie strikes out too much. Ellie strikes out too much.

957
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:05,239
Speaker 14: He needs to control the zone. So last year he

958
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:07,479
Speaker 14: switched from a leg kick to a toe tap, which

959
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 14: made his swing much more balanced, a lot less moved

960
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:13,319
Speaker 14: or a lot fewer moving pieces, and Ellie's average went

961
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:16,360
Speaker 14: up significantly to strike out rate went down, but he

962
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 14: didn't have the same paler. Part of that was the quad,

963
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 14: but a part of that was the leg kick. And

964
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:24,600
Speaker 14: during the terrible second half. A story we didn't talk

965
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:28,279
Speaker 14: enough about in September was with two weeks left ago,

966
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:30,360
Speaker 14: Ellie kind of just said forget it, going back to

967
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:32,440
Speaker 14: the leg kick. He was really having a tough time

968
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 14: in a lot of way, and he said, I'm just

969
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:37,359
Speaker 14: gonna go for it, and he quietly was great during

970
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:40,920
Speaker 14: the last two weeks of the season. This Ellie with

971
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 14: the leg kick is to quote Baker Mayfield, the guy

972
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:47,960
Speaker 14: who woke up feeling dangerous and going back that this

973
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 14: season is a sign of type of hitter he wants

974
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:53,479
Speaker 14: to be. He can live with some more strikeouts. There's

975
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 14: a plan to work on controlling his core to hopefully

976
00:47:57,480 --> 00:47:59,760
Speaker 14: get the most of both the best of both worlds,

977
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:02,279
Speaker 14: and there's some we we we you know we could,

978
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:03,879
Speaker 14: but you know, it's kind of boring to talk about

979
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:07,080
Speaker 14: that up. The overall power is a bigger part of

980
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 14: the amper.

981
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:11,759
Speaker 4: Is there any concern about the let's say, his strikeouts

982
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 4: go up, about the obviously high number of strikeouts that

983
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 4: Auhanio Surez has had the last couple of years and

984
00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:22,240
Speaker 4: throughout his career, is there any concern about that much,

985
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 4: that much swing and miss, that many strikeouts in the

986
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 4: middle of the lineup.

987
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:29,320
Speaker 14: Sure I mean, they're right to have a top five rotation.

988
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 14: I think I don't think they have a top five lineup.

989
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:32,799
Speaker 14: I don't think they have a top five middle of

990
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 14: the lineup. And baseball and we look at what the

991
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:36,719
Speaker 14: flaw in that group's going to be. It's going to

992
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:40,920
Speaker 14: be the strikeout stuff. Now you know, it's it's chasing

993
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:43,440
Speaker 14: your kill a bit, like, well, they needed more power

994
00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:46,200
Speaker 14: and then you know, we'll come back around, well you

995
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:49,280
Speaker 14: have too many strikeouts, Like that's just how this goes.

996
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:52,359
Speaker 14: They think there's going to be enough balance around them.

997
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 14: With TJ who doesn't strike out, they's a perfect st

998
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 14: leadouf hitter. With Stewart, who's a very polished guy who

999
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 14: could have pop without having the swing and missed. I

1000
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:06,319
Speaker 14: was a guy like Spencer Stears, but strikeouts just have

1001
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 14: to be part of it. That'll be a flaw in

1002
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:08,480
Speaker 14: the middle of the lineup.

1003
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:12,279
Speaker 3: Let's talk about the rotation because there's been some conversation

1004
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 3: about who man's the back end of the rotation, Chase Burns.

1005
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:20,600
Speaker 3: I know Terry Francona has talked about Red Louder. Outside

1006
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:22,279
Speaker 3: of those two, is or anyone else we should be

1007
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:24,719
Speaker 3: talking about as a potential for that fit spawn in

1008
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 3: the rotation.

1009
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:30,319
Speaker 14: My prodition has it's Burns. Like when I talk about

1010
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 14: the rotation, I said earlier it'll be a top five group.

1011
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 14: Like I don't think there's any hyperbole when I say

1012
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:38,320
Speaker 14: that that Hunter Green is one of the best pictures

1013
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:41,080
Speaker 14: in baseball in the telthy that Andrew Rabbits one of

1014
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:44,400
Speaker 14: the most polished pitchers in baseball, and that Nick Widolo

1015
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 14: is a true all star talent who just hasn't had

1016
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:51,200
Speaker 14: that recognition yet and maybe just because he hasn't had

1017
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:53,360
Speaker 14: as much of a spotlight, had it catch up to

1018
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:55,839
Speaker 14: the way he's viewed around the league. I don't think

1019
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:59,439
Speaker 14: it's hyperbaly to throw praise onto those guys. I'm using

1020
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:02,359
Speaker 14: all my early points to hip up Chase Brown, Chase Brown,

1021
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:07,759
Speaker 14: Chase Burns. Chase Brown too, but Chase Burns, I just

1022
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:11,200
Speaker 14: think this guy's really good man Now, Brandon Williamson is

1023
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 14: sneakily one of the most interesting guys in camp. He

1024
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:16,799
Speaker 14: is a completely different pitcher than he was two years ago,

1025
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:19,279
Speaker 14: and that's because he has had eighteen months to do

1026
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:23,120
Speaker 14: nothing but shoulder rehab and he finally put he was

1027
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:25,560
Speaker 14: dealing with for nearly his entire career in the Red

1028
00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:28,880
Speaker 14: organization behind him. So instead of having to be a

1029
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:31,399
Speaker 14: guy who pitched the contact, which he was in twenty

1030
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 14: twenty three when he was the Red most insistent pitcher

1031
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:38,279
Speaker 14: in that year, he can actually also beat guys with

1032
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:42,360
Speaker 14: a fourthing fastball. That's several miles per hour factor this year,

1033
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:44,319
Speaker 14: and that's a big development. So this is a good

1034
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:46,359
Speaker 14: rotation battle. I almost see how that hits out.

1035
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:48,920
Speaker 4: Does Some fans have asked about the idea of a

1036
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 4: six man rotation, given the injuries that Lodolo and Green

1037
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:56,600
Speaker 4: have had in the past, and maybe the innings limits

1038
00:50:56,640 --> 00:50:58,759
Speaker 4: of Burns and Louder. Do you think that that would

1039
00:50:58,760 --> 00:50:59,680
Speaker 4: be a possibility.

1040
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:03,879
Speaker 14: I've asked I haven't asked about that this year. Over

1041
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:06,320
Speaker 14: the last six years, I've asked Derek Johnson about that

1042
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:08,759
Speaker 14: at a different point in time, and he's always said

1043
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:11,880
Speaker 14: that he's like anti sixth man rotation. Adding to that

1044
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:14,240
Speaker 14: the fact that as of right now, there's no obvious

1045
00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:17,719
Speaker 14: guy who would be available to provide lengths out of

1046
00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:20,480
Speaker 14: your bullpen. There's no Brent Shooter, which you kind of

1047
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:22,960
Speaker 14: need also if you're gonna do a six man rotation,

1048
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:25,120
Speaker 14: just because that leaves you sinner in the bullpen.

1049
00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, Charlie.

1050
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 3: We talked to Mark Sheldon earlier in the week and

1051
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:31,359
Speaker 3: he had projected Rhet Louder to be the fifth spot

1052
00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:33,560
Speaker 3: in the rotation and Chase Burns to be in the bullpen.

1053
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:36,399
Speaker 3: Even if it were Chase Burns, like you think as

1054
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:39,520
Speaker 3: the five man, does that mean Rhet Louder get starts

1055
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:41,440
Speaker 3: in triple A or is there a spot in the

1056
00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:44,759
Speaker 3: bullpen for a Ret Louder, for a Chase Burns or

1057
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:46,719
Speaker 3: somebody else that isn't in that starting role.

1058
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 14: I don't see one of these guys going to the bullpen.

1059
00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:54,359
Speaker 14: Starting pitching depth is so valuable. I think the best

1060
00:51:54,719 --> 00:51:57,680
Speaker 14: the Reds one through eight is as good as you

1061
00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 14: could hope for. I'm kind of concerned about nine, ten, eleven, twelve,

1062
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:04,160
Speaker 14: which you need. Some team need fifteen starters to get

1063
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:08,120
Speaker 14: through a season, so having that organizational starting pitching depth

1064
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:10,400
Speaker 14: is just too important to mess with these guys in

1065
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:14,279
Speaker 14: any way, I see nothing wrong with having start the

1066
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:17,240
Speaker 14: year in Triple A, especially because they will be managing

1067
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:19,840
Speaker 14: the innings this year, and we see this around baseball.

1068
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:21,799
Speaker 14: It will be relevant to the Reds this year. If

1069
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:24,279
Speaker 14: it doesn't want the job, which you could, but you

1070
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:26,600
Speaker 14: have him start in Triple A. You have him do

1071
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:31,200
Speaker 14: like three inning starts to manage the innings, and then

1072
00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:34,560
Speaker 14: when you need him you get You get the most

1073
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:35,920
Speaker 14: you can't out of him in the big leagues.

1074
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:37,960
Speaker 2: Is there a player?

1075
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:39,839
Speaker 3: And I feel like this is a question always at

1076
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:43,040
Speaker 3: spring training, is there someone we've not talked about enough

1077
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:45,440
Speaker 3: that you think can have a major role for this

1078
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:46,120
Speaker 3: team this year?

1079
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:52,600
Speaker 14: The roster being set as much as it is, you know,

1080
00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:55,640
Speaker 14: makes this a camp where that's less the case. I'd

1081
00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 14: also like to use the rest of my irrational hyperboleague

1082
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:01,600
Speaker 14: points on South, which I know is nothing new for

1083
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:03,840
Speaker 14: me because I've been high on him for a while,

1084
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:07,319
Speaker 14: but he's kind of the talking camp like, he looks

1085
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:09,839
Speaker 14: really good man, and there's a chance that they just

1086
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:11,840
Speaker 14: build He's one of the guys they just build the

1087
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:14,640
Speaker 14: middle of this lineup around some guys in the lead them.

1088
00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:16,799
Speaker 14: A big Connor Phillips guy. I think he has a

1089
00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:19,680
Speaker 14: chance to be a seventh in piece. A prospect who

1090
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 14: hasn't they do yet. Hector Rodriguez. This guy is just

1091
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:25,680
Speaker 14: a flat out hitter who has a chance in the

1092
00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:29,720
Speaker 14: summer to come up and impact this lineup. A real sleeper.

1093
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:32,919
Speaker 14: Michael Tolia, a guy who's legitimately good in twenty four,

1094
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:36,600
Speaker 14: A young recent first round pick, could be the kind

1095
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:39,280
Speaker 14: of depth guy who could get hot, who's a nice

1096
00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:43,239
Speaker 14: guy to have in the mix. Aside from that, I

1097
00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:47,120
Speaker 14: would say those are the first and Williamson Absolutely, Williamson,

1098
00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:50,160
Speaker 14: who he just talked about. Williamson would be my number

1099
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:52,920
Speaker 14: one answer to this question. Those are guys that stand out.

1100
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 4: Has anything surprised you since you've been out there.

1101
00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:00,359
Speaker 14: From a baseball perceptive, will kind of not there yet

1102
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 14: just in terms of guys don't look good or look

1103
00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:05,120
Speaker 14: bad or look anything yet, just in terms of how

1104
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:09,919
Speaker 14: they look, there hasn't been a huge like aside from

1105
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:14,040
Speaker 14: South Stewart. Oh, this guy's made these huge changes physically

1106
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:18,319
Speaker 14: or mechanically. It hasn't been that type of can't play yet.

1107
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:22,399
Speaker 3: Can you confirm you've not seen any arrival of Nick

1108
00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:24,200
Speaker 3: Castianos to Reds spring training.

1109
00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:28,480
Speaker 14: I like Nick a lot. I had a great conversation

1110
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:30,719
Speaker 14: with Nick and Philly last and I know Nick had

1111
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:33,239
Speaker 14: a great conversation with Dick Crawl and Philly last year.

1112
00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:36,120
Speaker 14: But I don't see I don't see that happening at all.

1113
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:40,319
Speaker 3: Fair enough, you mentioned a little bit before when talking

1114
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:45,640
Speaker 3: to Chase Burns, Chase Brown, Chase Brown, DJ Turner, Dax Hill,

1115
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:48,160
Speaker 3: those types of names. We've talked about a lot for

1116
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:53,040
Speaker 3: the Bengals as perhaps getting deals done early in this offseason.

1117
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:55,840
Speaker 3: Do you think that this organization is any closer to

1118
00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:57,600
Speaker 3: any of those guys getting a deal done?

1119
00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:00,880
Speaker 14: You know what, I'm really glad you asked that, and

1120
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:03,520
Speaker 14: I'm going to answer this question in a completely different way.

1121
00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:07,040
Speaker 14: We've talked about those guys, we will talk about those guys,

1122
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:08,240
Speaker 14: will continue.

1123
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:09,080
Speaker 16: To talk about those guys.

1124
00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:13,440
Speaker 14: The guy who's in the exact same position that hasn't

1125
00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:18,000
Speaker 14: gotten nearly enough attention is Tyler Stevenson. Tyler Stevenson's the

1126
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:21,200
Speaker 14: first Red position player to enter a contract year since

1127
00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:24,600
Speaker 14: twenty seventeen, and the first player at all, sorry, their

1128
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:28,239
Speaker 14: first homegrown guy on his rookie contract and the first

1129
00:55:28,239 --> 00:55:31,120
Speaker 14: player at all since twenty twenty one. And I've talked

1130
00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:33,359
Speaker 14: to Tyler about this, and he was really open about

1131
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:35,160
Speaker 14: this in a way that you don't get as much

1132
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:38,200
Speaker 14: in football. He's talked with his life about just having

1133
00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:41,920
Speaker 14: enjoyed this year because this could be in Cincinnati. The

1134
00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:46,160
Speaker 14: Reds talked with Stevenson about an extension last spring. It

1135
00:55:46,200 --> 00:55:48,839
Speaker 14: didn't get done. Stephenson was coming off a very good

1136
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:53,279
Speaker 14: twenty twenty four season. You typically see talks play out

1137
00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:56,600
Speaker 14: during the spring, but those haven't started yet, and there

1138
00:55:56,760 --> 00:56:00,200
Speaker 14: is no prospect in the next two or three years

1139
00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:05,160
Speaker 14: Alfredo Doos down the road, who looks like an even

1140
00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:09,239
Speaker 14: average or below average starting catcher at all. So Stevenson

1141
00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:14,320
Speaker 14: entering this contract year is seekly a huge organizational story

1142
00:56:14,719 --> 00:56:18,279
Speaker 14: in the exact, exact, exact same way that Saise Brown,

1143
00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:21,520
Speaker 14: DJ Turner and Dak Hillar. So whatever one should do

1144
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:24,080
Speaker 14: is the Reds you should get Stevenson done, and Bengals

1145
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:25,719
Speaker 14: should just get all those contracts done too.

1146
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:29,520
Speaker 4: The news, I guess becoming official last night that Phil

1147
00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:33,279
Speaker 4: Castellini is taken over in the lead role. I know

1148
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:35,400
Speaker 4: this was something that was put in motion towards the

1149
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:38,120
Speaker 4: end of twenty twenty four or twenty twenty five, if

1150
00:56:38,120 --> 00:56:40,640
Speaker 4: I'm not mistaken. Do you think that plays a role

1151
00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:42,719
Speaker 4: in the Stevenson thing? Do you think there will be

1152
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:46,000
Speaker 4: any changes that Red's fans will notice with Phil at

1153
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:46,600
Speaker 4: the helm.

1154
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:54,040
Speaker 14: This is a very complicated situation. Nick Krawl still reports

1155
00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:57,360
Speaker 14: to both Bob and Phil, so it's not like Phil

1156
00:56:57,400 --> 00:57:02,600
Speaker 14: has become the guy, and today talked about Phil mostly

1157
00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:09,120
Speaker 14: being focused on the business side, that the report technically

1158
00:57:09,440 --> 00:57:14,799
Speaker 14: was that Phil was approved to succeed Bob. There has

1159
00:57:14,840 --> 00:57:18,520
Speaker 14: been little information and clarity coming from ownership. I requested

1160
00:57:18,560 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 14: to talk to ownership last week about a number of

1161
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:23,960
Speaker 14: things that was declined. The statement we got from the

1162
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:27,440
Speaker 14: Reds yesterday was from the red not from Bob or

1163
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:31,320
Speaker 14: Phil directly. And then Nick Crawl, who's the president of

1164
00:57:31,320 --> 00:57:34,400
Speaker 14: Baseball Operations but isn't the owner, is the one who

1165
00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:37,640
Speaker 14: took questions about it today. So Bob will be out

1166
00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:39,919
Speaker 14: here in the next week. I don't expect we hear

1167
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:42,440
Speaker 14: from him, and until we do, there's still not a

1168
00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:44,120
Speaker 14: lot of clarity on what's really going on here.

1169
00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:46,800
Speaker 3: Can you talk a little bit, Charlie about the players

1170
00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:48,920
Speaker 3: that will be leaving for the World Baseball Classic. Does

1171
00:57:48,960 --> 00:57:51,120
Speaker 3: their spring training look any different or do they just

1172
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:54,200
Speaker 3: partake in what the normal spring training is up until

1173
00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:55,560
Speaker 3: when they need to leave it then they head out.

1174
00:57:57,040 --> 00:57:59,360
Speaker 14: I'll do a little more like Gino is out here

1175
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:03,240
Speaker 14: getting live at bats before some other guys. Edwin Arroyo

1176
00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:05,560
Speaker 14: is the other guy in that camp. But the story

1177
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:09,280
Speaker 14: there is that the Reds aren't really going to be

1178
00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:12,040
Speaker 14: impacted by specifically when you compare them to a lot

1179
00:58:12,040 --> 00:58:15,280
Speaker 14: of other teams, like the fact that Gino is mostly

1180
00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:18,200
Speaker 14: going to be a d H means that Threats can

1181
00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:21,560
Speaker 14: do all their defensive installs. They don't call it that,

1182
00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:24,640
Speaker 14: but I'll call that. Terry Francona talked about three years

1183
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:27,680
Speaker 14: in Cleveland where you know, he didn't have Lindora, Santana

1184
00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:29,960
Speaker 14: or Ramirez, so he couldn't do first at third place

1185
00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:32,440
Speaker 14: for a month, because why do you do them without

1186
00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:35,640
Speaker 14: any of your infielders. So and then Arroyo is just

1187
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:38,000
Speaker 14: a prospect who won't make the team or expected to

1188
00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:40,920
Speaker 14: make the team, So the Reds are in a good

1189
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:43,720
Speaker 14: stock from a WBBC perspective.

1190
00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:46,680
Speaker 3: Lastly, Charlie, before I let you go, the impact not

1191
00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:49,480
Speaker 3: just on the field, but talking briefly about the impact

1192
00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:52,160
Speaker 3: that Suarez will have in the clubhouse for this Reds team.

1193
00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:57,120
Speaker 14: I talked yesterday with two of his former managers, Tori Lavello,

1194
00:58:57,120 --> 00:58:59,760
Speaker 14: who had him in Arizona, and Dan Wilson, who had

1195
00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:01,760
Speaker 14: him in Seattle, And what was so unique to me

1196
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 14: was kind of how different those teams were. Seattle, they

1197
00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:09,440
Speaker 14: had Julio, they had cal Ralely Arizona, Gino was their

1198
00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:13,360
Speaker 14: most experienced veteran position player. Tory Lavello talked about how

1199
00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:15,880
Speaker 14: often the room would get quiet when Gino spoke up

1200
00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:18,680
Speaker 14: at the perfect moment and he said, we need to

1201
00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:22,960
Speaker 14: do this now. And Dan Wilson talked about just the

1202
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:25,920
Speaker 14: way he uplifted everybody with the energy and the fragrance

1203
00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:29,040
Speaker 14: from the personality and the character, and then how when

1204
00:59:29,080 --> 00:59:31,560
Speaker 14: Gino was struggling during the second half of last season,

1205
00:59:32,080 --> 00:59:36,200
Speaker 14: he responded and stayed himself and got rewarded for that

1206
00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:39,000
Speaker 14: with such a huge moment in the playoffs. So we

1207
00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:41,080
Speaker 14: all know Geno is the unique guy. We all know

1208
00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:44,160
Speaker 14: he fits this team really well, and there's some examples

1209
00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:47,200
Speaker 14: and some good stories of kind of what he brings

1210
00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:51,840
Speaker 14: now on in both ways. And he's also kind of

1211
00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:54,440
Speaker 14: like the guy like Elie's the guy, of course, but

1212
00:59:54,920 --> 00:59:57,560
Speaker 14: in a different way, like Gino's kind of at the

1213
00:59:57,600 --> 00:59:59,440
Speaker 14: center for the reds of what's all going on.

1214
01:00:00,520 --> 01:00:04,960
Speaker 3: Charlie Goldsmith, you're the man out there in Arizona. What

1215
01:00:05,080 --> 01:00:07,840
Speaker 3: do you got for listeners to follow along with everything

1216
01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:09,560
Speaker 3: you have coming up here during spring training?

1217
01:00:10,960 --> 01:00:12,960
Speaker 14: Let me tell you one more thing. And I'm seeing

1218
01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:15,440
Speaker 14: this right now. This is interesting, this is new. It

1219
01:00:15,520 --> 01:00:19,680
Speaker 14: looks like Ellie's about to get some extra agility running

1220
01:00:20,080 --> 01:00:26,080
Speaker 14: progression type stuff, maybe a different aspect of his routine

1221
01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:29,280
Speaker 14: coming off the quad last year, not connected to the injury,

1222
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:32,600
Speaker 14: but you know, continuing to build, continuing to make that star.

1223
01:00:32,680 --> 01:00:34,720
Speaker 14: I'm just seeing that right now. That's very interesting to me.

1224
01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:38,640
Speaker 14: To make sure he's an even stronger runner and athlete

1225
01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:39,640
Speaker 14: than he was last year.

1226
01:00:39,720 --> 01:00:40,640
Speaker 17: That's that's fascinating.

1227
01:00:40,640 --> 01:00:43,640
Speaker 14: And I'm seeing this right now take place. So stuff

1228
01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:44,280
Speaker 14: like that all.

1229
01:00:44,120 --> 01:00:48,320
Speaker 4: At Charlie Chalkboards, All right, go chase him down. Charlie,

1230
01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:50,200

01:01:21,080 --> 01:01:23,880
Speaker 3: if this was gonna happen. Yeah, we said it was

1240
01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:25,400
Speaker 3: at the top of the show, and then for a

1241
01:01:25,480 --> 01:01:29,000
Speaker 3: moment there was reason for concern. But we've made it

1242
01:01:29,040 --> 01:01:32,840
Speaker 3: work today and we get the welcome back edition of

1243
01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:35,200
Speaker 3: talking to our good friend from FC Cincinnati, the voice

1244
01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:39,440
Speaker 3: of the Orangine Blue. Tom gallairder joining us right now, Tommy, Tommy, Tommy,

1245
01:01:39,480 --> 01:01:40,160
Speaker 3: what's up.

1246
01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:43,360
Speaker 17: Tony, Tony, Tony?

1247
01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:47,320
Speaker 14: What good my man? We are back.

1248
01:01:47,400 --> 01:01:49,800
Speaker 17: Ready to kick off the twenty twenty six season. I

1249
01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:53,080
Speaker 17: know there was some confusion today. I appreciate the flexibility.

1250
01:01:53,080 --> 01:01:55,280
Speaker 17: We have a lot of people who plan to catch

1251
01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:58,280
Speaker 17: me right at two o'clock right by attitude in a

1252
01:01:58,280 --> 01:02:00,880
Speaker 17: little bit early today to get this FC Cincinnati update.

1253
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:03,880
Speaker 17: But we made it all work. I appreciate you guys. Man,

1254
01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:04,960
Speaker 17: it's good to hear your voices.

1255
01:02:05,160 --> 01:02:09,200
Speaker 3: We're here and we're actually now eight days away from

1256
01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:12,080
Speaker 3: the home opener, if you can believe it, against Atlanta United.

1257
01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:14,080
Speaker 2: Let's try to get caught up. Though.

1258
01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:16,960
Speaker 3: We talked yesterday on the show, this team's got new

1259
01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:20,960
Speaker 3: kids this year marking the Seven Hills in Cincinnati. Outside

1260
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:23,960
Speaker 3: of the new kids, Tommy, what has happened? What is

1261
01:02:24,120 --> 01:02:27,240
Speaker 3: different from the last time we spoke about this roster

1262
01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:27,959
Speaker 3: to right now?

1263
01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:33,720
Speaker 17: Yeah, a little bit of turnover, maybe some new ideas.

1264
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:37,880
Speaker 17: The one change on the coaching staff doumcaneer out and

1265
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:41,320
Speaker 17: a new broad body brought on to add a new

1266
01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:45,240
Speaker 17: face into the coaching staff for Pat Noonan NFC Cincinnati.

1267
01:02:45,960 --> 01:02:47,040
Speaker 4: You know, Brenner's not back.

1268
01:02:47,480 --> 01:02:50,280
Speaker 17: At the end of the season when we recapped it,

1269
01:02:50,680 --> 01:02:53,760
Speaker 17: he left everybody with this great feeling and everybody wanting

1270
01:02:53,800 --> 01:02:57,720
Speaker 17: more a Brenner up there with Dan Yang and Evander.

1271
01:02:57,800 --> 01:03:00,200
Speaker 17: But the way that the roster construction.

1272
01:02:59,840 --> 01:03:01,640
Speaker 14: Were, it wasn't to be.

1273
01:03:01,760 --> 01:03:03,360
Speaker 17: He would have had to be in a DP spot

1274
01:03:03,360 --> 01:03:06,720
Speaker 17: and simply they don't have one available. So Brenner is out,

1275
01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:08,280
Speaker 17: and I think there's a lot of question of who

1276
01:03:08,280 --> 01:03:12,080
Speaker 17: steps in and fills that role. We saw Tom Barlow

1277
01:03:12,120 --> 01:03:14,840
Speaker 17: come in. He scored actually yesterday against Houston in the final,

1278
01:03:15,160 --> 01:03:19,160
Speaker 17: you know, regular season tune up, and I don't know

1279
01:03:19,240 --> 01:03:21,040
Speaker 17: that Tom Barlow is gonna be a regular starter. I

1280
01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:22,960
Speaker 17: think we'll see a lot of Ayu Jabbari, who we

1281
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:24,800
Speaker 17: saw a bit of at the end of the season

1282
01:03:25,120 --> 01:03:28,680
Speaker 17: and I'm excited to see more of. But for the

1283
01:03:28,680 --> 01:03:32,680
Speaker 17: most part, most of the regular pieces are back. Luca

1284
01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:35,120
Speaker 17: Orshano we now know has been sold to Monterey, so

1285
01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:39,160
Speaker 17: he is out, and Brian Ramirez, another South American left

1286
01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:41,880
Speaker 17: wing back in and he thinks that ain't done pretty

1287
01:03:41,880 --> 01:03:43,760
Speaker 17: well bringing in guys to South America to play.

1288
01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:44,200
Speaker 2: At that position.

1289
01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:47,640
Speaker 17: So I think that the right pieces are in place

1290
01:03:47,760 --> 01:03:50,600
Speaker 17: to start the season, and that Chris albrighton his staff

1291
01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:54,560
Speaker 17: will continue to examine the situation and see when is

1292
01:03:54,560 --> 01:03:57,280
Speaker 17: the right moment to press the button to bring in

1293
01:03:57,320 --> 01:04:00,800
Speaker 17: additional bodies. But right now, I think that they have

1294
01:04:00,880 --> 01:04:02,720
Speaker 17: a team that will compete with the best in the

1295
01:04:02,720 --> 01:04:03,480
Speaker 17: Eastern Conference.

1296
01:04:04,040 --> 01:04:06,400
Speaker 3: I think it's unique at the At this time last year,

1297
01:04:06,440 --> 01:04:09,080
Speaker 3: we were talking about all these new pieces coming together

1298
01:04:09,600 --> 01:04:11,640
Speaker 3: and then the season started. In the way the schedule

1299
01:04:11,680 --> 01:04:14,880
Speaker 3: shaped up, there was no time in between matches to

1300
01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:16,240
Speaker 3: really get work done.

1301
01:04:16,760 --> 01:04:17,920
Speaker 2: So how different will that.

1302
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:20,200
Speaker 3: Be for this team to get off to a fast

1303
01:04:20,240 --> 01:04:23,160
Speaker 3: start knowing that you're not trying to incorporate as many

1304
01:04:23,200 --> 01:04:25,320
Speaker 3: new bodies with how hectic the start of.

1305
01:04:25,240 --> 01:04:27,480
Speaker 4: The season can be tony.

1306
01:04:27,520 --> 01:04:29,800
Speaker 17: Everybody I've talked to over the last month or so

1307
01:04:29,880 --> 01:04:32,480
Speaker 17: since the team reported what was it January ten to eleventh,

1308
01:04:32,520 --> 01:04:36,360
Speaker 17: twelfth that weekend, that the one word that they've used

1309
01:04:36,440 --> 01:04:40,440
Speaker 17: is continuity, because you're right, last year there was distractions

1310
01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:42,880
Speaker 17: and there was a lack of continuity. Lucho Acosta was

1311
01:04:42,880 --> 01:04:46,080
Speaker 17: not in the group, obviously ended up being traded to Dallas.

1312
01:04:46,240 --> 01:04:48,360
Speaker 17: You had Luca orshano or report late, you had u

1313
01:04:48,440 --> 01:04:51,280
Speaker 17: Yah Kuba report late after a holdout, and then Evander

1314
01:04:51,360 --> 01:04:55,520
Speaker 17: comes in literally days before that first match in Hondoras

1315
01:04:55,560 --> 01:04:58,000
Speaker 17: in the CONCAT champions Cup, so he didn't get a

1316
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:00,600
Speaker 17: preseason with the team. Now he gets a pull preseason

1317
01:05:00,640 --> 01:05:02,800
Speaker 17: with the team, gets a full preseason with his striker

1318
01:05:03,200 --> 01:05:05,720
Speaker 17: Kevin Dente, and with the other new pieces and the

1319
01:05:05,760 --> 01:05:08,720
Speaker 17: new faces that are there. So I think that continuity

1320
01:05:08,760 --> 01:05:11,280
Speaker 17: piece is going to be really big for this team,

1321
01:05:11,360 --> 01:05:13,760
Speaker 17: especially team that's gonna play a lot of games here

1322
01:05:13,880 --> 01:05:16,320
Speaker 17: potentially the month of the season, so a lot of

1323
01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:18,520
Speaker 17: different faces are going to get out there.

1324
01:05:18,560 --> 01:05:19,880
Speaker 7: And I know they've used.

1325
01:05:19,680 --> 01:05:23,160
Speaker 17: These preseason games to work on different rotations, to look

1326
01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:26,280
Speaker 17: at different tactics, and to see who fits together well

1327
01:05:26,640 --> 01:05:29,680
Speaker 17: on the pitch. So I think that continuity is going

1328
01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:31,760
Speaker 17: to pay some early dividends for this club.

1329
01:05:32,640 --> 01:05:35,160
Speaker 3: This club is picked right now going into the season

1330
01:05:35,160 --> 01:05:37,960
Speaker 3: with the six best odds to win the MLS Cup.

1331
01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:40,800
Speaker 3: You mentioned that the conference itself. When you look at

1332
01:05:40,840 --> 01:05:44,280
Speaker 3: the Eastern Conference, they're right there, picked third from the

1333
01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:47,680
Speaker 3: betting standpoint. So, as you mentioned, it's not like this

1334
01:05:47,760 --> 01:05:49,440
Speaker 3: is a team picked in the middle of the Packet's

1335
01:05:49,440 --> 01:05:52,320
Speaker 3: a team that is projected to be in the hunt.

1336
01:05:52,440 --> 01:05:54,360
Speaker 3: And I would imagine that's mean you're going to get

1337
01:05:54,400 --> 01:05:55,720
Speaker 3: a lot of other team's best shot.

1338
01:05:55,800 --> 01:06:00,360
Speaker 17: Knowing that, yeah, absolutely, And that's been a case twenty

1339
01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:02,280
Speaker 17: twenty two when Ky Newton came in and took this

1340
01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:04,640
Speaker 17: team to the playoffs for the first time, and then

1341
01:06:04,680 --> 01:06:06,600
Speaker 17: twenty twenty three you win the Supporter Shield for the

1342
01:06:06,640 --> 01:06:09,360
Speaker 17: first time, and then you have a target.

1343
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:09,840
Speaker 4: The size of the moon.

1344
01:06:10,080 --> 01:06:12,120
Speaker 14: Every night, and people.

1345
01:06:11,880 --> 01:06:14,160
Speaker 17: Know that Tqstadium is a tough place to come play,

1346
01:06:14,440 --> 01:06:16,800
Speaker 17: so it's a challenge and you got to come in

1347
01:06:17,160 --> 01:06:19,800
Speaker 17: and be ready every night. This team's done very well

1348
01:06:19,880 --> 01:06:22,280
Speaker 17: on the road historically under Pat Noon, and I assume

1349
01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:24,200
Speaker 17: that that'll continue this year. And if you can really

1350
01:06:24,960 --> 01:06:30,240
Speaker 17: regain that fortress mentality and that fortress situation over TQS Stadium,

1351
01:06:30,560 --> 01:06:33,080
Speaker 17: then I think you're in a really good spot for

1352
01:06:33,120 --> 01:06:35,160
Speaker 17: this season. Now, the Eastern Conference, I think it's going

1353
01:06:35,240 --> 01:06:39,040
Speaker 17: to be very difficult. You have Miami defending MLS Cup champions.

1354
01:06:39,080 --> 01:06:44,600
Speaker 17: All they've done is reload. I mean, I don't I

1355
01:06:44,600 --> 01:06:49,560
Speaker 17: don't think so, But why doubt David Bentham, you know,

1356
01:06:49,640 --> 01:06:52,480
Speaker 17: and Orge Moss and those guys in the way that

1357
01:06:52,520 --> 01:06:55,920
Speaker 17: they constructed their team. But yeah, I mean they may

1358
01:06:55,920 --> 01:06:58,439
Speaker 17: have more talent top to bottom now than they did

1359
01:06:58,440 --> 01:07:01,480
Speaker 17: when they won MLS Cup back in December. So you

1360
01:07:01,520 --> 01:07:04,640
Speaker 17: know they're gonna be the favorites obviously in the Eastern Conference,

1361
01:07:04,640 --> 01:07:07,360
Speaker 17: with Cincinnati's gonna be there challenging them. Philadelphia is gonna

1362
01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:10,400
Speaker 17: be there challenging them. You know, come on to the course,

1363
01:07:10,480 --> 01:07:12,920
Speaker 17: we'll be in that conversation again. I'll be it with

1364
01:07:12,960 --> 01:07:14,800
Speaker 17: a new manager for the first time in years, and

1365
01:07:14,840 --> 01:07:17,120
Speaker 17: I'm interested to see how that goes and how the

1366
01:07:17,160 --> 01:07:20,560
Speaker 17: crew look with new leadership. So I think that there's

1367
01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:24,320
Speaker 17: a lot of factors in the Eastern Conference. But I

1368
01:07:24,680 --> 01:07:27,520
Speaker 17: think if if anybody, you know, I saw somebody and

1369
01:07:27,680 --> 01:07:30,360
Speaker 17: I don't even know who it was, you know, social

1370
01:07:30,440 --> 01:07:33,000
Speaker 17: media will dump all types of nonsense on your feed

1371
01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:37,040
Speaker 17: and somebody who picked at Sincati to finished tenth. And

1372
01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:40,000
Speaker 17: I don't see that any world in which that's the case.

1373
01:07:40,720 --> 01:07:42,520
Speaker 17: But they're gonna have to fight to be in that

1374
01:07:42,560 --> 01:07:44,560
Speaker 17: top four in the Eastern Conference. I think other teams

1375
01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:47,400
Speaker 17: are improved. Nashville one of the teams you know that

1376
01:07:47,400 --> 01:07:49,600
Speaker 17: that kind of lingered around and proved to be a

1377
01:07:49,640 --> 01:07:53,920
Speaker 17: formidable opponent. So I think that MLS is gonna have

1378
01:07:54,000 --> 01:07:56,680
Speaker 17: a really good season with a lot of really good teams.

1379
01:07:56,840 --> 01:07:58,720
Speaker 17: But I also believe that c Cincinnati is one of

1380
01:07:58,760 --> 01:08:00,000
Speaker 17: those really good teams.

1381
01:08:00,320 --> 01:08:02,280
Speaker 3: Talk about the start of the season, because you got

1382
01:08:02,320 --> 01:08:05,120
Speaker 3: the home opener, you got MLS play, and then sandwiched

1383
01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:07,680
Speaker 3: around now you got concor CAF. That's still happening as well,

1384
01:08:07,760 --> 01:08:10,640
Speaker 3: So talk about first of the concor CAF, How does

1385
01:08:10,640 --> 01:08:11,080
Speaker 3: that work?

1386
01:08:11,120 --> 01:08:11,760
Speaker 4: To start the year.

1387
01:08:11,880 --> 01:08:13,720
Speaker 3: I know we've talked about this before, but for those

1388
01:08:13,800 --> 01:08:16,720
Speaker 3: now familiar, how does that work on top of the

1389
01:08:16,760 --> 01:08:18,439
Speaker 3: already scheduled MLS matches.

1390
01:08:19,479 --> 01:08:21,960
Speaker 17: Yeah, it's crazy because some of the MLS teams already

1391
01:08:21,960 --> 01:08:25,040
Speaker 17: played their Champions Cup matches in the past couple of

1392
01:08:25,080 --> 01:08:27,479
Speaker 17: weeks and now they're sitting waiting for the home opener.

1393
01:08:27,640 --> 01:08:31,240
Speaker 17: Ceasoncinnati every year, though, has had their Champions Cup matches

1394
01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:36,040
Speaker 17: sandwich around their home opener or their season opener. So

1395
01:08:36,439 --> 01:08:38,720
Speaker 17: this year they get to go to Dominican Republic next

1396
01:08:38,760 --> 01:08:41,760
Speaker 17: week Wednesday night. That'll be their season opener. They're gonna

1397
01:08:41,760 --> 01:08:45,800
Speaker 17: take on a club O and MFC out of the

1398
01:08:45,840 --> 01:08:49,400
Speaker 17: Dominican Republic, so they're one of those qualifiers from the

1399
01:08:49,400 --> 01:08:53,400
Speaker 17: Caribbean and it's a two leg competition, so they'll play

1400
01:08:53,760 --> 01:08:57,880
Speaker 17: It's coming Wednesday down in Dominican Republic and then they'll

1401
01:08:57,920 --> 01:09:00,200
Speaker 17: come back to Tquel Stadium on the other side the

1402
01:09:00,200 --> 01:09:03,840
Speaker 17: home opener on that Wednesday and welcome O and m

1403
01:09:04,240 --> 01:09:07,040
Speaker 17: to the Queens City. Now last an agrew get score

1404
01:09:07,080 --> 01:09:09,439
Speaker 17: you look at it. If f C Cincinnati advances, and

1405
01:09:09,479 --> 01:09:13,840
Speaker 17: they should, then they would likely play Tea Grace as

1406
01:09:13,880 --> 01:09:16,760
Speaker 17: they moved through the competition, and that means the same

1407
01:09:16,840 --> 01:09:19,599
Speaker 17: team they played in the second round last year when

1408
01:09:19,640 --> 01:09:21,720
Speaker 17: they went back to Monterey, and it would be a

1409
01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:24,400
Speaker 17: third year in a row going to Monterey for the

1410
01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:27,400
Speaker 17: second round. They took Don Rayados two years ago, and

1411
01:09:27,479 --> 01:09:30,360
Speaker 17: then they would they would like sa tea grace here

1412
01:09:30,640 --> 01:09:35,920
Speaker 17: in the second round. So it's it's an intercontinental competition,

1413
01:09:36,080 --> 01:09:39,160
Speaker 17: so you're taking the best from North America, from Central

1414
01:09:39,160 --> 01:09:43,759
Speaker 17: America and the Caribbean and whittling it down to a champion.

1415
01:09:43,800 --> 01:09:45,800
Speaker 17: Miami get to buy because they won him US Cup

1416
01:09:45,960 --> 01:09:48,200
Speaker 17: and Dave Beckham, I think you know, before the champagne

1417
01:09:48,200 --> 01:09:50,160
Speaker 17: had even dried on his clothes after the game, was

1418
01:09:50,160 --> 01:09:52,720
Speaker 17: saying how that he wants to win that competition and

1419
01:09:52,760 --> 01:09:55,160
Speaker 17: that's how his goal and out that he has MS Cup,

1420
01:09:55,200 --> 01:09:58,479
Speaker 17: he wants to win Champions Cup. Moving on to twenty

1421
01:09:58,479 --> 01:10:02,320
Speaker 17: twenty six, so MS seems certainly are going to fight

1422
01:10:02,520 --> 01:10:04,200
Speaker 17: for it. Seattle was the first team to win the

1423
01:10:04,240 --> 01:10:06,679
Speaker 17: modern day version of it a couple of years back,

1424
01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:09,920
Speaker 17: and Cincinnati absolutely, you don't want to win trophies and

1425
01:10:09,920 --> 01:10:11,920
Speaker 17: this is the first opportunity to win one this year.

1426
01:10:12,960 --> 01:10:15,120
Speaker 3: Let me finish with this because every year at the

1427
01:10:15,160 --> 01:10:17,080
Speaker 3: start of the year, you kind of set expectations. And

1428
01:10:17,360 --> 01:10:20,000
Speaker 3: I know every team that gets together they set goals

1429
01:10:20,080 --> 01:10:24,719
Speaker 3: and for FC Cincinnati and and for how the schedule

1430
01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:26,920
Speaker 3: shapes up. There are multiple things that you want to

1431
01:10:27,000 --> 01:10:29,360
Speaker 3: kind of check off the box as you enter into

1432
01:10:29,400 --> 01:10:32,200
Speaker 3: a season. But talk to me about where you're setting

1433
01:10:32,200 --> 01:10:35,360
Speaker 3: those sites for FC Cincinnati, things that you want or

1434
01:10:35,400 --> 01:10:37,920
Speaker 3: expect them to kind of check off the box this

1435
01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:41,439
Speaker 3: year from an expectation standpoint, yeah.

1436
01:10:41,240 --> 01:10:44,120
Speaker 17: I think it starts stony with the goal scoring and

1437
01:10:44,160 --> 01:10:47,080
Speaker 17: the attack for C Cincinnati. That's where I think a

1438
01:10:47,120 --> 01:10:49,840
Speaker 17: lot of people have had concerns over the last year

1439
01:10:49,920 --> 01:10:53,240
Speaker 17: or two. I felt like, listen, if there's another goal

1440
01:10:53,320 --> 01:10:54,120
Speaker 17: or two, then a.

1441
01:10:54,040 --> 01:10:56,320
Speaker 4: Lot of those draws, a lot of those losses.

1442
01:10:56,760 --> 01:10:59,800
Speaker 17: You know, flip to more point gaining situations, maybe winning

1443
01:10:59,920 --> 01:11:02,320
Speaker 17: the wardership. Then you're in a better situation in the playoffs,

1444
01:11:03,120 --> 01:11:05,000
Speaker 17: you know, much like we saw in twenty twenty three.

1445
01:11:05,240 --> 01:11:07,519
Speaker 17: So I think that early on a lot of people

1446
01:11:07,600 --> 01:11:10,200
Speaker 17: will be watching that to see what the offensive production

1447
01:11:10,360 --> 01:11:10,760
Speaker 17: looks like.

1448
01:11:10,840 --> 01:11:12,880
Speaker 7: I think the defense is going to be.

1449
01:11:12,920 --> 01:11:16,320
Speaker 17: Very strong again. You have your your now fifty year

1450
01:11:16,360 --> 01:11:19,080
Speaker 17: goalkeeper in Roman Cell and tunnel. You have a guy

1451
01:11:19,080 --> 01:11:21,439
Speaker 17: who I expect to be on the US men's national

1452
01:11:21,439 --> 01:11:24,519
Speaker 17: team World Cup squad come the summer, and Miles Robinson

1453
01:11:24,560 --> 01:11:27,600
Speaker 17: anchoring the back line in front of him, to agdab

1454
01:11:27,760 --> 01:11:30,080
Speaker 17: is back, Nick Haaglin is back, Elberta Flores is back,

1455
01:11:30,120 --> 01:11:32,320
Speaker 17: Matt melas Good is working his way back from injury

1456
01:11:32,640 --> 01:11:34,320
Speaker 17: to hood be in the mix and sometimes so I

1457
01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:37,080
Speaker 17: think that that piece of the puzzle is very strong,

1458
01:11:37,880 --> 01:11:40,400
Speaker 17: and your defensive midfielders are very good with the beIN

1459
01:11:40,439 --> 01:11:42,680
Speaker 17: a Wolboedome for bel Buca and Sammy Gidi who came

1460
01:11:42,680 --> 01:11:45,799
Speaker 17: on during the summer window last year. So I expected

1461
01:11:46,040 --> 01:11:49,479
Speaker 17: the defense to be very good again and a lot

1462
01:11:49,520 --> 01:11:51,840
Speaker 17: of attention to be put on the attack. And if

1463
01:11:51,880 --> 01:11:53,960
Speaker 17: the attack is as good as I think they're capable

1464
01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:56,799
Speaker 17: of being, and then you're gonna win a out gangs,

1465
01:11:56,920 --> 01:11:58,760
Speaker 17: and you're gonna put yourself in the situation to win

1466
01:11:58,840 --> 01:12:02,240
Speaker 17: each on conference for to win the supportership and all right,

1467
01:12:02,280 --> 01:12:04,040
Speaker 17: there's a no trophy if you win the supporter Shield.

1468
01:12:04,080 --> 01:12:07,080
Speaker 17: But the ultimate bowl was MLS Cup and that's the

1469
01:12:07,160 --> 01:12:09,000
Speaker 17: standard now ROC Cincinnati.

1470
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:10,240
Speaker 4: It's not okay to get to the.

1471
01:12:10,160 --> 01:12:13,880
Speaker 17: Playoffs as it was when patten Ninen was making his

1472
01:12:14,040 --> 01:12:17,120
Speaker 17: debut as head coach. You know what, now four years ago,

1473
01:12:17,240 --> 01:12:21,080
Speaker 17: it's win MLS Cup. So the playoffs are this standard

1474
01:12:21,680 --> 01:12:25,479
Speaker 17: and winning MLS Cup is the expectation in Cincinnati unfortunately

1475
01:12:25,520 --> 01:12:28,000
Speaker 17: has fallen short in their four straight years and going

1476
01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:30,919
Speaker 17: to the playoffs of that ultimate goal, with the closest

1477
01:12:30,920 --> 01:12:33,479
Speaker 17: to it coming in twenty twenty three. So I think

1478
01:12:33,520 --> 01:12:35,599
Speaker 17: that that's the ultimate goal. And then around that you're

1479
01:12:35,600 --> 01:12:37,720
Speaker 17: gonna try to win Champions Cup. And if you make

1480
01:12:37,760 --> 01:12:39,960
Speaker 17: it through these first couple of rounds, then you're gonna see,

1481
01:12:40,320 --> 01:12:43,679
Speaker 17: you know, more attention and focus on those competitions. And

1482
01:12:43,760 --> 01:12:45,599
Speaker 17: of course we'll have Leagues Cup in August and that

1483
01:12:45,640 --> 01:12:47,720
Speaker 17: format is going to be, you know, tweaked again a

1484
01:12:47,760 --> 01:12:50,080
Speaker 17: little bit this year, and then you have a chance

1485
01:12:50,080 --> 01:12:52,360
Speaker 17: to win a Supporter Shield. So there's four trophies out there.

1486
01:12:52,479 --> 01:12:54,320
Speaker 17: Ever since then he wants to win them all. But

1487
01:12:54,400 --> 01:12:57,320
Speaker 17: I think for all these teams, the ultimate goal is

1488
01:12:57,439 --> 01:12:58,120
Speaker 17: that US Cup.

1489
01:12:58,880 --> 01:13:02,240
Speaker 3: For you personally, Tommy, not only are you getting ready

1490
01:13:02,240 --> 01:13:05,880
Speaker 3: to go into a year number eleven with FCUS Cincinnati

1491

01:13:25,400 --> 01:13:27,160

Speaker 17: I mean, I think everybody's enjoyed watching the Olympics, but

1500
01:13:31,560 --> 01:13:35,479
Speaker 17: especially I would say our crew every time the US

01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:43,600
Speaker 17: media graphics that we created going out of media and

1504
01:13:44,040 --> 01:13:45,760

Speaker 4: Sheldon are reporting that the Reds have made a signing.

1532
01:15:03,280 --> 01:15:08,360
Speaker 4: The Reds have signed left handed hitting first baseman Nathaniel Low.

1533
01:15:08,680 --> 01:15:14,840
Speaker 4: Oh Nathaniel Low, formerly with the Washington Nationals and Texas

1534
01:15:14,960 --> 01:15:18,559
Speaker 4: Rangers or with the Tampa Bay Rays, if you'll excuse me.

1535
01:15:19,120 --> 01:15:23,080
Speaker 4: Low last year hit eighteen homers, batted just two twenty eight,

1536
01:15:23,800 --> 01:15:27,840
Speaker 4: had a three zero seven on base percentage and uh

1537
01:15:28,120 --> 01:15:31,240
Speaker 4: did that in five hundred and forty at bats. Not

1538
01:15:31,439 --> 01:15:35,519
Speaker 4: great against left handed pitching. Ninety four games last year,

1539
01:15:35,560 --> 01:15:37,720
Speaker 4: in which he had one hundred and fifty five at

1540
01:15:37,760 --> 01:15:41,080
Speaker 4: bats against left handed pitchers, he hit just one sixty

1541
01:15:41,160 --> 01:15:45,520
Speaker 4: eight with two homers. But against right handed pitchers, Nathaniel

1549

Speaker 4: Red Sox on a tear. Hit really really well in

1552
01:16:21,720 --> 01:16:25,040
Speaker 4: the final month of the season. So he is an

1553
01:16:25,040 --> 01:16:28,840
Speaker 4: option now for the Reds. And additionally, Chris Paul was

1554
01:16:28,880 --> 01:16:31,960
Speaker 4: traded to the Toronto Raptors. As you know, he's been

1555

Speaker 4: It means I can go dig up all of my

1559
01:16:41,680 --> 01:16:44,720
Speaker 4: old Chris Paul rookie cards and put them on heath

1560
01:16:45,439 --> 01:16:46,680

1610
01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:18,880

1611
01:19:19,320 --> 01:19:22,479
Speaker 4: pockets were getting heavy backs were good back then. What

1612
01:19:22,560 --> 01:19:26,280
Speaker 4: was that like for you? Like the you know, we

1613
01:19:26,360 --> 01:19:29,280
Speaker 4: all have experiences of when we look in the checking

1614
01:19:29,320 --> 01:19:32,800
Speaker 4: account and we payday. Today was pay day. I know

1615
01:19:32,920 --> 01:19:36,960
Speaker 4: that you you got paid today and you were filled

1616
01:19:36,960 --> 01:19:40,120
Speaker 4: with joy when you saw that deposits. What was it

1617
01:19:40,240 --> 01:19:42,519
Speaker 4: like when you got Now, I know you didn't make no,

1618
01:19:42,680 --> 01:19:45,000
Speaker 4: I didn't. I know you didn't make first round money

1619
01:19:45,000 --> 01:19:47,160
Speaker 4: in the NFL. This is not something I don't think

1620
01:19:47,160 --> 01:19:49,800
Speaker 4: we've ever talked about. But like when you get that

1621
01:19:49,880 --> 01:19:53,760
Speaker 4: first NFL paycheck? What was that like? It's not even

1622
01:19:53,760 --> 01:19:56,760
Speaker 4: about I think the enjoyment of it. It's about the

1623
01:19:56,800 --> 01:20:02,320
Speaker 4: tax aspect of it. Like to me, that was the shock. Yeah,

1624
01:20:02,560 --> 01:20:03,519
Speaker 4: just how much comes out?

1625
01:20:03,640 --> 01:20:05,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, because in your mind you're like, all right, this

1626
01:20:05,240 --> 01:20:07,280
Speaker 3: is my contract, so if you break it down, this

1627
01:20:07,320 --> 01:20:09,000
Speaker 3: is what it'll be. And then it's just such a

1628
01:20:09,040 --> 01:20:12,000
Speaker 3: smaller number than you expected. You're like, wait a second,

1629
01:20:12,560 --> 01:20:13,439
Speaker 3: where'd that money go?

1630
01:20:14,439 --> 01:20:16,640
Speaker 4: That's funny. I miss the first one is always the

1631
01:20:16,680 --> 01:20:19,439
Speaker 4: worst one, right, Yep, Yeah, I missed. I missed the

1632
01:20:19,800 --> 01:20:23,479
Speaker 4: I missed the lake. You know, knowing what I know now,

1633
01:20:23,520 --> 01:20:26,599
Speaker 4: why don't you just go? Knowing what I know and

1634
01:20:26,800 --> 01:20:29,560
Speaker 4: how things have been, try I would have tried to

1635
01:20:29,600 --> 01:20:31,439
Speaker 4: keep that baby and just like rent it out like

1636
01:20:31,479 --> 01:20:35,120
Speaker 4: airbnb it that just wasn't a thing back then because

1637
01:20:35,120 --> 01:20:37,040
Speaker 4: I I literally it was a steal. I walked into

1638
01:20:37,080 --> 01:20:39,840
Speaker 4: a deal on the water where the rent was cheaper

1639
01:20:39,840 --> 01:20:42,080
Speaker 4: than it would have been anywhere near the stadium, and

1640
01:20:42,120 --> 01:20:44,640
Speaker 4: so that was that was awesome, and I just like

1641
01:20:44,720 --> 01:20:46,280
Speaker 4: being on the water or around the water.

1642
01:20:46,439 --> 01:20:47,320
Speaker 2: But man, it was.

1643
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:51,320
Speaker 3: Knowing then what I know now, I would still I

1644
01:20:51,320 --> 01:20:53,400
Speaker 3: would try to own the place instead of just rent it.

1645
01:20:53,479 --> 01:20:58,920
Speaker 4: Now, if I'm not mistaken his Airness himself, Michael Jeffrey Jordan,

1646
01:20:58,960 --> 01:21:01,519
Speaker 4: he's got a place on it Lake Norman, Yep. If

1647
01:21:01,520 --> 01:21:03,880
Speaker 4: you guys want any indication of the type of tax

1648
01:21:03,960 --> 01:21:06,320
Speaker 4: bracket Tony was in. Well, there's a different part of

1649
01:21:06,360 --> 01:21:10,720
Speaker 4: Lake Norman. There's an apartment complex that I stayed in,

1650
01:21:11,320 --> 01:21:16,599
Speaker 4: and then there are houses like Jeff Gordon. Oh, Jeff

1651
01:21:16,640 --> 01:21:17,439
Speaker 4: Gordon was down there.

1652
01:21:17,439 --> 01:21:20,000
Speaker 3: A lot of the NASCAR guys live on Lake Norman. Interesting,

1653
01:21:20,040 --> 01:21:24,320
Speaker 3: Michael Jordan lives on Lake Norman. So there are different brackets.

1654
01:21:24,360 --> 01:21:24,840
Speaker 2: But I lived.

1655
01:21:25,520 --> 01:21:28,720
Speaker 3: I lived right across the highway from Davidson College, which

1656
01:21:28,760 --> 01:21:30,400
Speaker 3: at the time I was down there, Steph Curry was

1657
01:21:30,400 --> 01:21:31,160
Speaker 3: playing basketball.

1658
01:21:31,240 --> 01:21:33,280
Speaker 4: Did you ever run into stuff down there at the bars?

1659
01:21:33,560 --> 01:21:35,200
Speaker 4: Not at the bars, but I went and watched a

1660
01:21:35,200 --> 01:21:37,880
Speaker 4: couple of his games. Okay, So there's probably not a

1661
01:21:37,920 --> 01:21:41,400
Speaker 4: ton of people outside of the Davison Lake diets and

1662
01:21:41,479 --> 01:21:44,320
Speaker 4: Landing yep, that could say, oh, yeah, we went and

1663
01:21:44,360 --> 01:21:46,200
Speaker 4: saw Steph play a couple of times in college.

1664
01:21:46,280 --> 01:21:49,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was crazy because I moved in to the

1665
01:21:50,120 --> 01:21:53,439
Speaker 3: place I stayed, which it was like it didn't really

1666
01:21:53,479 --> 01:21:55,559
Speaker 3: matter because traffic made it bad.

1667
01:21:55,760 --> 01:21:56,680
Speaker 4: But I was.

1668
01:21:56,760 --> 01:21:58,479
Speaker 3: I was getting to the facility at six in the

1669
01:21:58,520 --> 01:22:00,280
Speaker 3: morning and getting home later, so I never really.

1670
01:22:00,200 --> 01:22:02,920
Speaker 4: Hit about an hour after Jimmy, Yes.

1671
01:22:03,000 --> 01:22:05,320
Speaker 3: Easily an hour after Jimmy, But you never really worried

1672
01:22:05,320 --> 01:22:09,679
Speaker 3: about traffic, but it's it's probably without traffic twenty twenty

1673
01:22:09,680 --> 01:22:12,920
Speaker 3: five minutes from the stadium, Which is crazy because when

1674
01:22:12,920 --> 01:22:15,760
Speaker 3: I moved in, there was a gentleman outside walking his

1675
01:22:15,840 --> 01:22:17,800
Speaker 3: dog that had a Carolina.

1676
01:22:17,400 --> 01:22:18,320
Speaker 4: Panthers pike jersey.

1677
01:22:18,840 --> 01:22:21,200
Speaker 3: You're lying, I swear, And it's probably the only one

1678
01:22:21,240 --> 01:22:22,840
Speaker 3: I ever saw at the stadium. And it just so

1679
01:22:22,840 --> 01:22:24,120
Speaker 3: happened to be a guy that lived in the same

1680
01:22:24,160 --> 01:22:25,040
Speaker 3: apartment complex.

1681
01:22:25,120 --> 01:22:27,040
Speaker 4: Did you ever talk to him? Yes, we became good

1682
01:22:27,080 --> 01:22:28,960
Speaker 4: friends down So what was the story? How did he

1683
01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:29,679
Speaker 4: get the jersey?

1684
01:22:29,840 --> 01:22:33,040
Speaker 3: He was just is he since he was well, he

1685
01:22:33,520 --> 01:22:37,519
Speaker 3: is a He was from Kentucky, huge Kentucky basketball fan,

1686
01:22:38,400 --> 01:22:41,040
Speaker 3: and I think, being so local, watched a lot of

1687
01:22:41,120 --> 01:22:42,120
Speaker 3: Cincinnati games.

1688
01:22:42,600 --> 01:22:42,920
Speaker 2: He said.

1689
01:22:42,920 --> 01:22:44,880
Speaker 3: When they drafted you, I was super excited and the

1690
01:22:44,920 --> 01:22:46,280
Speaker 3: first thing I did was by your jersey.

1691
01:22:46,560 --> 01:22:46,920
Speaker 2: Wow.

1692
01:22:46,960 --> 01:22:48,800
Speaker 3: And I just happened to move in next to the guy.

1693
01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:52,200
Speaker 3: That's a pretty cool feeling. Yeah, absolutely. Then at the time,

1694
01:22:52,240 --> 01:22:54,320
Speaker 3: you thought, man, if he's got one, I can't imagine

1695
01:22:54,360 --> 01:22:55,839
Speaker 3: how many other folks of the LC.

1696
01:22:55,840 --> 01:23:01,080
Speaker 4: You'ld be all over. I uh, wow, that's a that's

1697
01:23:01,080 --> 01:23:04,120
Speaker 4: a great story. I don't think you just didn't see

1698
01:23:04,200 --> 01:23:07,920
Speaker 4: many after that. I don't think you ever told that story.

1699
01:23:08,000 --> 01:23:10,960
Speaker 4: That's cool, it was, it was cool, you know. It's

1700
01:23:11,080 --> 01:23:12,639
Speaker 4: kind of like I was trying to tell Luke Colmes,

1701
01:23:12,680 --> 01:23:16,679
Speaker 4: I got a bunch of Tony Pike rookie card autography.

1702
01:23:16,120 --> 01:23:18,599
Speaker 3: And Luke never say anything back, never heard from Maybe

1703
01:23:18,600 --> 01:23:20,080
Speaker 3: it's a good time to double dip on him.

1704
01:23:20,160 --> 01:23:22,840
Speaker 4: I think he's busy at the moment. Didn't he release

1705
01:23:22,840 --> 01:23:23,719
Speaker 4: an album today?

1706
01:23:24,200 --> 01:23:24,400
Speaker 2: Oh?

1707
01:23:24,439 --> 01:23:26,200
Speaker 4: If he did, I didn't know, I'd be my listening

1708
01:23:26,280 --> 01:23:28,760
Speaker 4: enjoyment later. It has a place on Lake Norman. If

1709
01:23:28,760 --> 01:23:32,360
Speaker 4: I had to guess he might be over there by,

1710
01:23:32,520 --> 01:23:35,160
Speaker 4: you should say Jeff Gordon, the NASCAR driver. A lot

1711
01:23:35,200 --> 01:23:40,759
Speaker 4: of Nascar folks that I was raised to despise, Jeff Gordon.

1712
01:23:41,000 --> 01:23:41,320
Speaker 2: It was.

1713
01:23:41,400 --> 01:23:45,080
Speaker 3: It was so weird in that light, Like you would

1714
01:23:45,080 --> 01:23:48,759
Speaker 3: see NASCAR guys around Lake Norman like bars and restaurants,

1715
01:23:48,760 --> 01:23:51,800
Speaker 3: and they were treated like normal folks. And most of them,

1716
01:23:52,080 --> 01:23:53,880
Speaker 3: it's not a shot at them, most of them. If

1717
01:23:53,920 --> 01:23:55,640
Speaker 3: you didn't know what you would have never guessed. I

1718
01:23:55,680 --> 01:23:58,960
Speaker 3: call that's a nashcar driver. Sure, Like they're just they're smaller.

1719
01:23:59,560 --> 01:24:02,519
Speaker 3: They don't look, you know and portray athlete, but a

1720

1756

Speaker 2: How about that?

1757
01:26:07,160 --> 01:26:10,320

1758
01:26:10,439 --> 01:26:12,599
Speaker 4: You would think you.

1759
01:26:12,680 --> 01:26:18,880
Speaker 14: Guys say Iholt Radio guaranteed human, but half your commercials

1760
01:26:18,880 --> 01:26:19,360
Speaker 14: are AI.

1761
01:26:20,520 --> 01:26:22,280
Speaker 7: You're siding with the clankers.

1762
01:26:24,080 --> 01:26:25,320
Speaker 4: I don't think that's true.

1763
01:26:25,479 --> 01:26:26,600
Speaker 2: Do we have a honestuff?

1764
01:26:26,640 --> 01:26:28,920
Speaker 4: I don't think, and I know we don't have any

1765
01:26:30,120 --> 01:26:33,919
Speaker 4: talent that's AI might be some I don't.

1766
01:26:33,680 --> 01:26:37,080
Speaker 2: Know, hey, I have another Winter Olympics.

1767
01:26:38,160 --> 01:26:43,560
Speaker 21: Rank them and what Winter Olympic event is the competitor

1768
01:26:44,439 --> 01:26:50,040
Speaker 21: going the fastest in their top speed? Is it men's

1769
01:26:50,160 --> 01:26:57,160
Speaker 21: downhill skiing? Is it the skeleton or is it the luge?

1770
01:26:58,520 --> 01:26:59,519
Speaker 21: In't that fun word?

1771
01:27:00,080 --> 01:27:00,479
Speaker 11: Lose?

1772
01:27:01,560 --> 01:27:05,920
Speaker 4: I'm gonna guess it's the skeleton. Oh, I'm gonna say skeleton,

1773
01:27:06,920 --> 01:27:11,439
Speaker 4: and then men's downhill and then louge. Yeah, I'll go

1774
01:27:11,479 --> 01:27:12,880
Speaker 4: with that. That sounds right.

1775
01:27:12,920 --> 01:27:16,639
Speaker 21: The fastest event is actually curling. They get them granted,

1776
01:27:16,720 --> 01:27:19,120
Speaker 21: thanks going over one hundred and twenty miles an hour.

1777
01:27:19,520 --> 01:27:23,360
Speaker 4: Lying, that's just come on, Jim, Come on, you've been doing, Jim,

1778
01:27:23,360 --> 01:27:24,040
Speaker 4: and then you throw that.

1779
01:27:24,160 --> 01:27:25,160
Speaker 2: I'm just joking.

1780
01:27:25,880 --> 01:27:30,439
Speaker 21: Although the man's skiing and the skeleton gets into the

1781
01:27:30,560 --> 01:27:33,000
Speaker 21: eighty mile per hour range.

1782
01:27:32,920 --> 01:27:37,439
Speaker 2: It's the lose it gets into the nineties. Oh, so

1783
01:27:37,479 --> 01:27:38,240
Speaker 2: there you have it.

1784
01:27:39,280 --> 01:27:43,080
Speaker 4: Okay, dang, all right, thank you, Jim.

1785
01:27:43,120 --> 01:27:45,320
Speaker 16: Just another Jeff in the middle of a two week

1786
01:27:45,800 --> 01:27:49,960
Speaker 16: vagabond tour through Florida. Man, I love retirement and I'm

1787
01:27:49,960 --> 01:27:53,080
Speaker 16: a little torn. My daughter graduated from Miami last year.

1788
01:27:53,240 --> 01:27:56,680
Speaker 16: But tonight I'll be on long Boat Key with a

1789
01:27:56,680 --> 01:27:59,280
Speaker 16: couple of college friends. Now we will be rooting for

1790
01:27:59,320 --> 01:28:01,360
Speaker 16: the Bobby to storm the court.

1791
01:28:01,960 --> 01:28:02,799
Speaker 4: That's right, Austin.

1792
01:28:02,880 --> 01:28:05,200
Speaker 2: Bobby's see, I'll let the kids play on mine.

1793
01:28:05,240 --> 01:28:05,639
Speaker 9: One.

1794
01:28:06,640 --> 01:28:09,599
Speaker 4: You've pissed me off. Now, I was having a great Friday.

1795
01:28:09,640 --> 01:28:11,840
Speaker 4: And then yeah, he's just he's in one of my

1796
01:28:11,880 --> 01:28:14,679
Speaker 4: favorite places on Earth. Can I on Boat Key, Florida?

1797
01:28:14,840 --> 01:28:15,799
Speaker 4: Can I say something?

1798
01:28:16,360 --> 01:28:19,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, we've talked a lot about Olympic events, and I

1799
01:28:19,560 --> 01:28:22,200
Speaker 3: would be remiss because my dad has called me three times.

1800
01:28:22,240 --> 01:28:24,639
Speaker 3: And I'm not exaggerating this. He's called me three times

1801
01:28:24,640 --> 01:28:27,040
Speaker 3: this week as he's listening to the show or after

1802
01:28:27,080 --> 01:28:28,880
Speaker 3: the show, and he says, if I have to hear

1803
01:28:28,920 --> 01:28:31,280
Speaker 3: you say one more thing about curling, I'm gonna lose

1804
01:28:31,320 --> 01:28:34,800
Speaker 3: my mind. He said, it's not curling, it's the downhill

1805
01:28:34,880 --> 01:28:37,400
Speaker 3: at the Olympics. Said, these skiers are going over one

1806
01:28:37,439 --> 01:28:39,760
Speaker 3: hundred or sometimes one hundred miles an hour or more.

1807
01:28:40,160 --> 01:28:42,280
Speaker 3: They're making a decision every time they push off from

1808
01:28:42,320 --> 01:28:44,960
Speaker 3: the gate. That's the most exciting sport because they got

1809
01:28:44,960 --> 01:28:46,760
Speaker 3: the most on the line. Well, so I just wanted

1810
01:28:46,760 --> 01:28:48,120
Speaker 3: to put it out there for me because just because

1811
01:28:48,160 --> 01:28:49,880
Speaker 3: they go fast, that's his favorite.

1812
01:28:49,880 --> 01:28:53,400
Speaker 4: Apparently I appreciate Big Steve listening. It would be nice

1813
01:28:53,400 --> 01:28:55,280
Speaker 4: if he had the guts to call into show. He

1814
01:28:55,280 --> 01:28:58,120
Speaker 4: ain't gonna call. He'll never be Maso at least Maso

1815
01:28:58,240 --> 01:28:59,720
Speaker 4: and Moon got the guts to call.

1816
01:29:00,320 --> 01:29:06,200
Speaker 22: He ain't gonna call Lord Heaven, Tony Austin. I'm gonna

1817
01:29:06,200 --> 01:29:11,080
Speaker 22: ask you guys a question. Are you guys considered government employees?

1818
01:29:11,479 --> 01:29:16,080
Speaker 22: Because it seems like you guys get President's Day off,

1819
01:29:16,280 --> 01:29:20,040
Speaker 22: Martin Luther King Day off, and all the other government

1820
01:29:20,080 --> 01:29:23,720
Speaker 22: holidays off. So can you please clarify that for me?

1821
01:29:26,800 --> 01:29:30,839
Speaker 4: We're not government employees. We just worked for a wonderful

1822
01:29:30,880 --> 01:29:36,360
Speaker 4: company that has company holidays. Yes like that. Yes, Now,

1823
01:29:36,400 --> 01:29:40,320
Speaker 4: I will say this. When COVID happened, I was deemed

1824
01:29:40,360 --> 01:29:48,599
Speaker 4: an essential employee. We were given like travel passes, identification cards,

1825
01:29:48,680 --> 01:29:52,000
Speaker 4: remember that from FEMA that would allow us to travel.

1826
01:29:52,840 --> 01:29:56,760
Speaker 4: So obviously we're not that important, but I remember that

1827
01:29:56,800 --> 01:29:58,519
Speaker 4: in that moment we were Yep.

1828
01:30:00,320 --> 01:30:03,559
Speaker 23: Jeff and New Richmond, Happy Friday to you. I wanted

1829
01:30:03,600 --> 01:30:07,000
Speaker 23: to take my talk back time today. Wish Miami, Ohio

1830
01:30:07,120 --> 01:30:11,680
Speaker 23: the best of luck tonight. Hopefully these pompous writers and

1831
01:30:11,920 --> 01:30:16,519
Speaker 23: coaches that still have them ranked in the twenties will

1832
01:30:16,560 --> 01:30:19,080
Speaker 23: get a feel for how good this team really is,

1833
01:30:19,640 --> 01:30:23,200
Speaker 23: how special they are, and hopefully they come out with

1834
01:30:23,280 --> 01:30:25,559
Speaker 23: a big w and maybe get some respect in the

1835
01:30:25,600 --> 01:30:28,120
Speaker 23: polls next week. Guys, have a great weekend.

1836
01:30:28,160 --> 01:30:30,760
Speaker 4: Take care Okay, I do I think they need some

1837
01:30:30,800 --> 01:30:32,360
Speaker 4: more respect. Thank you, Jeff.

1838
01:30:34,360 --> 01:30:38,920
Speaker 11: Hey, guys, mark us from the group. This weekend, my driver,

1839
01:30:39,160 --> 01:30:43,200
Speaker 11: my pick takes Brisco. Hopefully he can get to win

1840
01:30:43,280 --> 01:30:47,519
Speaker 11: to start the season off right. Kentucky's a double digit

1841
01:30:47,640 --> 01:30:49,080
Speaker 11: underdog against Florida.

1842
01:30:49,240 --> 01:30:51,640
Speaker 24: Crazy and tough hill to climb, but hopefully we can

1843
01:30:51,680 --> 01:30:53,000
Speaker 24: continue the hot streak and.

1844
01:30:54,680 --> 01:30:58,360
Speaker 11: Go out of winning Gainsville. And I have to mention

1845
01:30:58,680 --> 01:30:59,679
Speaker 11: we are forty one.

1846
01:31:00,080 --> 01:31:07,439
Speaker 4: Jeremy, Jeremy Affelt is a great pull. Jeremy Affelt spoke

1848
01:31:11,000 --> 01:31:13,679

1849
01:31:13,760 --> 01:31:18,240
Speaker 4: Who would be Joe Nusall, Joey Knuxall pretty good one. Yeah,

1850
01:31:18,400 --> 01:31:24,439
Speaker 4: it's hard to really go away from that. Yeah, there was,

1851
01:31:26,439 --> 01:31:28,120
Speaker 4: I mean forty four was just easy.

1852
01:31:28,360 --> 01:31:28,759
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1853
01:31:28,960 --> 01:31:31,519
Speaker 4: I haven't looked at forty one. But Andrew Abbott Inrew

1854
01:31:31,560 --> 01:31:35,880
Speaker 4: Rabbit currently yes, all star Chris Retzma, Oh, I was

1855

1856
01:31:38,920 --> 01:31:43,080
Speaker 4: He I'm gonna talk. It's part of my conversation for

1857
01:31:43,200 --> 01:31:46,840
Speaker 4: Sunday about how how badly the Reds screwed up the

1858
01:31:46,920 --> 01:31:50,719
Speaker 4: Ken Griffy Junior thing. And yeah, guys like Chris Rietzma

1859
01:31:51,040 --> 01:31:52,960
Speaker 4: were a part of that era of Reds baseball.

1860
01:31:53,760 --> 01:31:55,880
Speaker 3: Now, there was a time that the Reds went knucks

1861
01:31:55,880 --> 01:31:58,000
Speaker 3: all to Tom sever and the number forty one.

1862
01:31:58,120 --> 01:32:00,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, Tom Severs obviously a great to be. I'm sure

1863
01:32:00,840 --> 01:32:03,840
Speaker 4: there are people yelling at their radios right now Tom Seaver,

1864
01:32:05,000 --> 01:32:08,000
Speaker 4: which I get it. I mean, perfect game.

1865
01:32:09,040 --> 01:32:10,360
Speaker 23: Hi guys, Happy Friday.

1866
01:32:10,640 --> 01:32:14,400
Speaker 10: We'll miss you on Monday. But anyway, did you happen

1867
01:32:14,439 --> 01:32:20,719
Speaker 10: to catch the Olympic Super g Woman's race. The girl

1868
01:32:20,760 --> 01:32:25,639
Speaker 10: that won it had I think fourteen months before something

1869
01:32:25,760 --> 01:32:31,240
Speaker 10: had crashed like Lindsey Vonn and tore her acl and

1870
01:32:33,040 --> 01:32:35,679
Speaker 10: I don't know, I forget how many fractures she had

1871
01:32:35,720 --> 01:32:38,200
Speaker 10: in her left leg. Anyway, she.

1872
01:32:41,920 --> 01:32:46,160
Speaker 4: How do you make a tissue dance? Put a boogie

1873
01:32:46,200 --> 01:32:48,800
Speaker 4: in it? There you go, that's a classic, there you go.

1874
01:32:49,160 --> 01:32:52,519
Speaker 10: So to finish it up, I think the Italian skier

1875
01:32:52,680 --> 01:32:57,720
Speaker 10: is Frederica Brenone. Anyway, she had only been back on

1876
01:32:57,760 --> 01:33:00,120
Speaker 10: the course and back at it for three weeks for

1877
01:33:00,200 --> 01:33:01,080
Speaker 10: the Olympics, so.

1878
01:33:01,320 --> 01:33:02,160
Speaker 2: Kudos or her.

1879
01:33:02,240 --> 01:33:05,640
Speaker 10: I'm so glad she won. Sorry for Breezy, but she

1880
01:33:05,720 --> 01:33:10,120
Speaker 10: won the ring. And you know the girl, Lindsay Bond,

1881
01:33:10,680 --> 01:33:14,120
Speaker 10: thank you for trying. You know you did your best.

1882
01:33:14,520 --> 01:33:17,360
Speaker 10: The same thing happened to the winner, and I'm glad

1883
01:33:17,360 --> 01:33:17,920
Speaker 10: you were there.

1884
01:33:18,520 --> 01:33:25,479
Speaker 25: Okay, this is how Tony be talking to that Mazzarelli stick,

1885
01:33:26,880 --> 01:33:30,720
Speaker 25: the last Mazzarella stick on the table, or perhaps the

1886
01:33:30,840 --> 01:33:32,360
Speaker 25: last buttered.

1887
01:33:32,080 --> 01:33:55,880
Speaker 4: Noodle slow motion, the buttered noodle on the fork of

1888
01:33:55,960 --> 01:33:58,200
Speaker 4: one Anthony Pike down the gullet.

1889
01:34:01,360 --> 01:34:05,000
Speaker 26: Good afternoon, gentlemen. I heard Austin talking to Sloan this

1890
01:34:05,120 --> 01:34:09,960
Speaker 26: morning and they were discussing the excessive use of condoms

1891
01:34:10,520 --> 01:34:14,320
Speaker 26: at the Olympics. Now I read that that was in

1892
01:34:14,520 --> 01:34:19,760
Speaker 26: the Paralympic village, that number that was given out, So I'd.

1893
01:34:19,479 --> 01:34:21,439
Speaker 4: Be curious to hear what's going on.

1894
01:34:21,360 --> 01:34:23,040
Speaker 26: In the other village.

1895
01:34:24,280 --> 01:34:25,920
Speaker 17: Have a good one, I'll.

1896
01:34:25,720 --> 01:34:28,840
Speaker 4: Tell you what's going on. Oh, hanky panky going on?

1897
01:34:29,600 --> 01:34:32,639
Speaker 27: The Daytona five hundred is known for its long shots,

1898
01:34:33,120 --> 01:34:36,080
Speaker 27: and right now there's a former Daytona five hundred champion

1899
01:34:36,640 --> 01:34:40,720
Speaker 27: with seventy to one, some of the longest odds. His

1900
01:34:40,880 --> 01:34:42,040
Speaker 27: name is Austin Dillon.

1901
01:34:44,000 --> 01:34:46,320
Speaker 4: He was supposed to be the future for a while.

1902
01:34:46,479 --> 01:34:49,519
Speaker 4: Austin Dillon was and he hasn't necessarily had that much success,

1903
01:34:49,560 --> 01:34:53,639
Speaker 4: but he did did have a Daytona five hundred win.

1904
01:34:54,040 --> 01:34:54,800
Speaker 2: What is you doing?

1905
01:34:54,840 --> 01:34:55,120
Speaker 20: ODDI?

1906
01:34:55,200 --> 01:34:57,960
Speaker 28: That audio killed me? Man repping the city out here

1907
01:34:58,000 --> 01:34:59,200
Speaker 28: in cool Cloud.

1908
01:34:59,240 --> 01:34:59,640
Speaker 2: He's on it.

1909
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:00,559
Speaker 28: What up, Tony?

1910
01:35:00,600 --> 01:35:00,840
Speaker 14: What up?

1911
01:35:00,800 --> 01:35:01,360
Speaker 4: Buddy Man?

1912
01:35:01,400 --> 01:35:03,600
Speaker 28: I had flashbacks here and Dan and Dave Man. It

1913
01:35:03,720 --> 01:35:06,519
Speaker 28: hurt my feelings. I was too young for sixteen. I

1914
01:35:07,160 --> 01:35:08,479
Speaker 28: cried with twenty three.

1915
01:35:08,439 --> 01:35:10,280
Speaker 4: And fifty six, which is depressing.

1916
01:35:10,600 --> 01:35:11,960
Speaker 2: Where was I at Yo?

1917
01:35:12,520 --> 01:35:15,639
Speaker 28: I spent my last day in Cincinnati after Super Sunday,

1918
01:35:15,800 --> 01:35:17,880
Speaker 28: came out here to Arizona on the next flight.

1919
01:35:18,080 --> 01:35:19,719
Speaker 2: That was one painful flight.

1920
01:35:19,960 --> 01:35:22,320
Speaker 28: I was one sad Tiger and all bingo gear coming

1921
01:35:22,360 --> 01:35:23,200
Speaker 28: out here that year.

1922
01:35:24,400 --> 01:35:26,120
Speaker 4: We'll do Tiger's dream of Yeah.

1923
01:35:26,200 --> 01:35:28,559
Speaker 27: Hey, Austin, I really appreciate you playing that clip earlier

1924
01:35:28,600 --> 01:35:29,320
Speaker 27: of the Super Bowl.

1925
01:35:29,479 --> 01:35:30,720
Speaker 4: Hey, while you're at it, do you want to hook

1926
01:35:30,760 --> 01:35:33,719
Speaker 4: up battery cables to my nipples? Maybe put some toothpicks

1927
01:35:33,760 --> 01:35:36,080
Speaker 4: under my fingernails. I mean, my god, you're sick.

1928
01:35:40,200 --> 01:35:42,920
Speaker 24: I always love that segment with seg A couple things

1929
01:35:42,960 --> 01:35:46,559
Speaker 24: about Super Speedways. Kyle Larson hates him. He's come out

1930
01:35:46,600 --> 01:35:49,000
Speaker 24: and said it. He does not like racing him. I

1931
01:35:49,040 --> 01:35:52,639
Speaker 24: don't think he wins it. Super speedways are interesting because

1932
01:35:52,640 --> 01:35:53,679
Speaker 24: it's anybody's race.

1933
01:35:53,680 --> 01:35:54,759
Speaker 2: If you can hit a gas.

1934
01:35:54,520 --> 01:35:57,240
Speaker 24: Pedal and steer the wheel, you gotta shot at winning

1935
01:35:57,280 --> 01:35:59,960
Speaker 24: this thing, and clean air doesn't matter.

1936
01:36:00,120 --> 01:36:01,280
Speaker 4: You want to stay in the draft.

1937
01:36:01,640 --> 01:36:03,360
Speaker 24: The guy leading the race with one lap to go

1938
01:36:03,560 --> 01:36:07,360
Speaker 24: rarely ever wins the day. So the guy like Austin Dillon,

1939
01:36:07,360 --> 01:36:09,520
Speaker 24: he's plus three thousand, he's great odds.

1940
01:36:09,720 --> 01:36:12,400
Speaker 4: It's two votes for Austin Dillon from our listeners. I

1941
01:36:12,479 --> 01:36:15,800
Speaker 4: feel like we might have to sprinkle on this just

1942
01:36:15,880 --> 01:36:21,120
Speaker 4: because we trust them. Also, how about our listeners breaking

1943
01:36:21,200 --> 01:36:23,960
Speaker 4: down the Daytona five hundred. I love it. We need

1944
01:36:24,000 --> 01:36:25,800
Speaker 4: to maybe tap into this a little bit more.

1945
01:36:25,880 --> 01:36:26,439
Speaker 2: I love it.

1946
01:36:27,160 --> 01:36:30,200
Speaker 5: I was building my cart on Sincy shirts. I realized

1947
01:36:30,240 --> 01:36:34,599
Speaker 5: there's only like one shirt with Austin on it. I mean,

1948
01:36:34,680 --> 01:36:37,559
Speaker 5: this dude's been through a lot. Tony's Hall of Fame

1949
01:36:37,680 --> 01:36:42,879
Speaker 5: intro to an obituary for Tony to the Grand Marshal

1950
01:36:42,880 --> 01:36:46,240
Speaker 5: and the parade for Tony. I mean, this dude is

1951
01:36:46,240 --> 01:36:49,880
Speaker 5: the glue that holds the station together. How about like

1952
01:36:50,439 --> 01:36:53,840
Speaker 5: Elmer's glue stick with Austin on the top.

1953
01:36:54,479 --> 01:36:56,960
Speaker 4: First of all, it feels good to be recognized. Yeah,

1954
01:36:57,479 --> 01:37:00,400
Speaker 4: I buried Tony and then I dug him back up. Yep,

1955
01:37:01,160 --> 01:37:04,800
Speaker 4: I've successfully pulled off two lives to at the top

1956
01:37:04,840 --> 01:37:06,680
Speaker 4: of a parade, at least on the air. I mean,

1957
01:37:06,800 --> 01:37:09,320
Speaker 4: Lord knows I like to him every day to his face. True,

1958
01:37:10,560 --> 01:37:15,519
Speaker 4: I appreciate the Yeah, I would love a little bit. Hey,

1959
01:37:15,560 --> 01:37:18,120
Speaker 4: you guys brought up the banana phone earlier. Can we

1960
01:37:18,200 --> 01:37:20,639
Speaker 4: please get that to come back? Sticking the mud? Marty

1961
01:37:20,680 --> 01:37:21,679
Speaker 4: Brenneman's gone.

1962
01:37:22,400 --> 01:37:24,920
Speaker 5: I mean the perfect person to do this would be

1963
01:37:24,960 --> 01:37:27,760
Speaker 5: Tracy Jones just phoned it in during the rain delays.

1964
01:37:28,040 --> 01:37:30,840
Speaker 4: What do you think I would record, Tracy? I would

1965
01:37:30,840 --> 01:37:33,160
Speaker 4: require Tracy to do some work that ain't gonna happen.

1966
01:37:33,880 --> 01:37:34,000
Speaker 5: Uh.

1967
01:37:34,200 --> 01:37:36,639
Speaker 4: I love the idea of the banana phone. Banana phone,

1968
01:37:36,800 --> 01:37:39,520
Speaker 4: but bu bu bu bu bu bu bu bananaphone?

1969
01:37:39,840 --> 01:37:40,240
Speaker 14: What's up?

1970
01:37:40,320 --> 01:37:40,599
Speaker 6: Guys?

1971
01:37:40,640 --> 01:37:44,479
Speaker 29: Big Cahoney Kentucky Caleb Downs ain't available at ten because

1972
01:37:44,520 --> 01:37:46,360
Speaker 29: he's the one that's the most surfile.

1973
01:37:45,960 --> 01:37:47,280
Speaker 2: That can help you win next year.

1974
01:37:47,280 --> 01:37:50,080
Speaker 29: I say you trade the pick and get another first

1975
01:37:50,160 --> 01:37:52,759
Speaker 29: round or next year, and then get someone that's ready

1976
01:37:52,800 --> 01:37:56,320
Speaker 29: to play. Now, Brovett standpoint, even if it's a one

1977
01:37:56,360 --> 01:37:58,200
Speaker 29: or two year deal, because that's what you're building.

1978
01:37:57,920 --> 01:37:58,360
Speaker 2: For the future.

1979
01:37:58,360 --> 01:38:00,240
Speaker 29: And do you know, because I'm gonna be out there

1980
01:38:00,320 --> 01:38:02,760
Speaker 29: in Arizona spring training here in March to wise you

1981
01:38:02,760 --> 01:38:05,280
Speaker 29: know if Charlie took his golf clubs, because if he did, I'd.

1982
01:38:05,080 --> 01:38:07,000
Speaker 4: Like to hook up with him and hit some on

1983
01:38:07,040 --> 01:38:07,519
Speaker 4: the links.

1984
01:38:07,920 --> 01:38:09,719
Speaker 7: Ask Charlie if he took his club's nickname.

1985
01:38:10,880 --> 01:38:14,560
Speaker 4: I don't think Charlie Golf's. I don't don't know that

1986
01:38:14,600 --> 01:38:16,320
Speaker 4: I've ever asked him, but I don't think he does.

1987
01:38:16,439 --> 01:38:18,120
Speaker 4: I don't think he's I don't think I've ever read

1988
01:38:18,160 --> 01:38:18,639
Speaker 4: or seen that.

1989

Speaker 30: Either down paper. I think the Red's got a great

1990
01:38:24,400 --> 01:38:28,720
Speaker 30: pitching staff. I think South Stewart, Gina will help out

2066
01:42:18,520 --> 01:42:22,800

2068
01:42:24,960 --> 01:42:26,760

2070
01:42:29,640 --> 01:42:33,320
Speaker 4: We appreciate that. Thank you for listening. UH Miami.

2071
01:42:33,400 --> 01:42:36,920
Speaker 3: By the way, leads the nation in points per game

2072
01:42:37,520 --> 01:42:41,120
Speaker 3: ninety two point seven, that is above Alabama at ninety

2073
01:42:41,160 --> 01:42:43,360
Speaker 3: one point nine. They also have the highest field goal

2074
01:42:43,439 --> 01:42:46,840
Speaker 3: percentage in the nation at fifty three point six. I

2075
01:42:47,000 --> 01:42:48,439
Speaker 3: liked what I saw that there's a lot of stuff

2076
01:42:48,479 --> 01:42:50,479
Speaker 3: coming out about this team, obviously, and the way that

2077
01:42:50,600 --> 01:42:53,680
Speaker 3: they are kind of just rotting this confidence that that

2078
01:42:53,840 --> 01:42:55,920
Speaker 3: Travis Steele's mentioned. They don't really feel the pressure of

2079
01:42:55,960 --> 01:42:58,479
Speaker 3: being the last undefeated team. They're just a team that

2080
01:42:58,640 --> 01:43:01,160
Speaker 3: is playing with a ton of themselves and I think

2081
01:43:01,240 --> 01:43:03,680
Speaker 3: that is shown by the way they play each and

2082
01:43:03,720 --> 01:43:04,960
Speaker 3: every time they step on the court.

2083
01:43:05,760 --> 01:43:07,120
Speaker 2: Greg Sharonville, what's up?

2084
01:43:08,000 --> 01:43:08,519

Speaker 11: Uh.

2147
01:46:10,640 --> 01:46:13,479
Speaker 3: This is Brad Doolittle. We often reference Brad on some

2148
01:46:13,560 --> 01:46:16,559
Speaker 3: of the stuff we do here. On Sincy three to sixty,

2149

2151
01:46:24,200 --> 01:46:26,360
Speaker 3: what the team did, and where the projections are. I

2152
01:46:26,439 --> 01:46:29,200
Speaker 3: found this interesting, Austin, because this is a little bit

2153
01:46:29,240 --> 01:46:31,600
Speaker 3: different than how they view the win totals. This is

2154
01:46:31,680 --> 01:46:34,200
Speaker 3: their win average that they put together. They have the

2155
01:46:34,280 --> 01:46:37,519
Speaker 3: Bengal or the Reds nineteenth on this list at a

2156
01:46:37,600 --> 01:46:41,280
Speaker 3: win average of eighty. They also have twenty six point

2157
01:46:41,400 --> 01:46:45,040
Speaker 3: nine percent chance to get into the playoffs. What's interesting

2158
01:46:45,120 --> 01:46:49,360
Speaker 3: about this number twenty on their list is the Pittsburgh Pirates,

2159
01:46:49,360 --> 01:46:52,639
Speaker 3: and they have their win average at seventy nine point

2160
01:46:52,760 --> 01:46:57,120
Speaker 3: nine percent, so literally zero point one behind the Cincinnati Reds.

2161
01:46:57,200 --> 01:46:58,760
Speaker 3: This is what they ask about the Reds. Why the

2162
01:46:58,840 --> 01:47:02,200
Speaker 3: heck didn't the Reds get a new right fielder? But

2163
01:47:02,320 --> 01:47:06,120
Speaker 3: I thought it was interesting to see that win total

2164
01:47:06,160 --> 01:47:08,519
Speaker 3: based on the ones we use from DraftKings and different

2165
01:47:08,520 --> 01:47:12,679
Speaker 3: stuff like that, because they view the Reds as essentially

2166
01:47:12,720 --> 01:47:14,920
Speaker 3: a twenty seven percent chance to make the playoff team

2167
01:47:15,280 --> 01:47:18,000
Speaker 3: and an eighty win team. But they had the Pittsburgh

2168
01:47:18,040 --> 01:47:20,360
Speaker 3: Pirates a lot closer than a lot of other outlets.

2169
01:47:21,040 --> 01:47:23,680
Speaker 3: Essentially right on the Cincinnati Reds and right behind the

2170
01:47:23,760 --> 01:47:26,080
Speaker 3: Reds for what it's worth, Brewers eighty three point three,

2171
01:47:26,680 --> 01:47:30,360
Speaker 3: and they had the Chicago Cubs number seven at eighty

2172
01:47:30,400 --> 01:47:34,200
Speaker 3: eight point two. So kind of where things stand right

2173
01:47:34,280 --> 01:47:37,800
Speaker 3: now against what Brad Doolittle thinks leading in from an

2174
01:47:37,840 --> 01:47:40,240
Speaker 3: NL central point of view. But I do think again,

2175
01:47:40,360 --> 01:47:42,800
Speaker 3: that was interesting to me because we've talked a little

2176
01:47:42,840 --> 01:47:45,559
Speaker 3: more about the Pirates and some of the work they've

2177
01:47:45,600 --> 01:47:48,759
Speaker 3: done to get themselves ready for the upcoming season. Coop

2178
01:47:48,960 --> 01:47:50,120
Speaker 3: is waiting on Hold, what's up?

2179
01:47:50,160 --> 01:47:50,400
Speaker 2: Coop?

2180
01:47:52,840 --> 01:47:53,000
Speaker 1: Hey?

2181
01:47:53,080 --> 01:47:53,320
Speaker 28: You know.

2182
01:47:54,800 --> 01:47:55,479
Speaker 14: Tony good?

2183
01:47:55,520 --> 01:47:55,840
Speaker 11: How are you.

2184
01:47:57,400 --> 01:47:57,960
Speaker 4: Pimp dolling?

2185
01:47:58,960 --> 01:47:59,320
Speaker 2: Who's that.

2186
01:48:00,920 --> 01:48:01,840
Speaker 14: I'm pimp doing?

2187
01:48:02,200 --> 01:48:02,320
Speaker 9: Uh?

2188
01:48:02,400 --> 01:48:05,679
Speaker 4: He's all right, He's all right. He's always doing something.

2189
01:48:06,760 --> 01:48:10,280
Speaker 32: Listen, you know, this whole talk of Sharonville and even Dale,

2190
01:48:10,320 --> 01:48:15,280
Speaker 32: it's got me thinking now the summing or shouldn't Summit

2191
01:48:15,439 --> 01:48:17,360
Speaker 32: Park actually be in Evandale?

2192
01:48:17,920 --> 01:48:20,040
Speaker 14: I mean, I I would argue that that is not

2193
01:48:20,160 --> 01:48:20,639
Speaker 14: Blue Ash.

2194
01:48:20,760 --> 01:48:23,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's a weird dynamic Blue Ass, Sharonville, Evendale

2195
01:48:23,760 --> 01:48:26,160
Speaker 3: all kind of vying for that Summit Park real estate.

2196
01:48:26,240 --> 01:48:28,200
Speaker 4: But blue Ass gets it. I'm with you, I say

2197
01:48:28,280 --> 01:48:29,080
Speaker 4: said it to Evendale.

2198
01:48:30,160 --> 01:48:31,880
Speaker 17: It's been burning me up and not one month and

2199
01:48:31,960 --> 01:48:33,080
Speaker 17: you're a Sharonville guy.

2200
01:48:34,160 --> 01:48:38,679
Speaker 14: What in the hell is going on? And that septic

2201
01:48:38,880 --> 01:48:43,240
Speaker 14: ditch you call sharon Woods. What are they doing? They've

2202
01:48:43,280 --> 01:48:46,640
Speaker 14: been working on that, on that septic drain for what

2203
01:48:47,360 --> 01:48:47,880
Speaker 14: three years?

2204
01:48:47,920 --> 01:48:48,800
Speaker 4: You're trying to get it right?

2205
01:48:48,920 --> 01:48:49,200
Speaker 2: Cooper?

2206
01:48:49,280 --> 01:48:49,960
Speaker 4: What is happening?

2207
01:48:50,160 --> 01:48:51,080
Speaker 2: They've got to get it right?

2208
01:48:52,479 --> 01:48:52,800
Speaker 28: What what?

2209
01:48:53,479 --> 01:48:56,360
Speaker 2: I don't know? Maybe maybe the filtration system in the.

2210
01:48:56,400 --> 01:48:57,599
Speaker 7: Water battle boats.

2211
01:48:59,200 --> 01:49:01,360
Speaker 4: Now it's just a it's disgusting.

2212
01:49:03,360 --> 01:49:06,280
Speaker 14: Now you got connections and sharing. We need to get

2213
01:49:06,320 --> 01:49:07,840
Speaker 14: this play golf?

2214
01:49:08,520 --> 01:49:10,040
Speaker 2: I do I like that? I share him?

2215
01:49:10,040 --> 01:49:10,880
Speaker 4: What is a good course?

2216
01:49:12,880 --> 01:49:14,840
Speaker 32: I like to drive down that road that leads to

2217
01:49:14,880 --> 01:49:17,160
Speaker 32: the golf course and just beat my arm from time

2218
01:49:17,240 --> 01:49:19,760
Speaker 32: to time. You know, you know what I'm talking about,

2219
01:49:19,800 --> 01:49:22,200
Speaker 32: that little stretch where I go right down.

2220
01:49:22,280 --> 01:49:25,679
Speaker 14: I'm just beat big baby and uh.

2221
01:49:26,479 --> 01:49:29,000
Speaker 17: Ten tends to find out that golfers why don't like that?

2222
01:49:29,200 --> 01:49:31,120
Speaker 4: So that depends who you're beeping up?

2223
01:49:31,240 --> 01:49:37,400
Speaker 32: All right, Hey, do me favor say hello to your

2224
01:49:37,439 --> 01:49:39,760
Speaker 32: boy for me. Stay a little old cutting hair for me.

2225
01:49:39,840 --> 01:49:43,160
Speaker 32: When you see that, Coop said.

2226
01:49:43,000 --> 01:49:44,960
Speaker 2: Hi, I'll let him know thanks, Coop.

2227
01:49:45,200 --> 01:49:47,160
Speaker 32: I'll be looking for him at the game on Sunday,

2228
01:49:47,200 --> 01:49:48,799
Speaker 32: but he never shows his states.

2229
01:49:49,360 --> 01:49:52,720
Speaker 4: Never never, It's creepy Coop.

2230
01:49:52,920 --> 01:49:55,280
Speaker 14: Coop, are you up and to eat the basket to?

2231
01:49:55,439 --> 01:49:57,680
Speaker 4: I know where you sit? Come say hi, I'll be

2232
01:49:57,880 --> 01:50:01,960
Speaker 4: there all right? What is how that dude is? What

2233
01:50:02,200 --> 01:50:05,040
Speaker 4: is going on today? It's Friday? Coop is by far

2234
01:50:05,360 --> 01:50:09,160
Speaker 4: like the listener. I am most afraid of people just

2235
01:50:09,280 --> 01:50:12,479
Speaker 4: losing their ever loving minds. He scares me. Let's bring

2236
01:50:12,600 --> 01:50:16,720
Speaker 4: this back to reacting. There's a certain level of destabilization

2237
01:50:16,960 --> 01:50:18,559
Speaker 4: going on upstairs with the Coopster.

2238
01:50:19,200 --> 01:50:19,560
Speaker 7: What were you?

2239
01:50:19,640 --> 01:50:21,880
Speaker 3: What was that sound you were just making. There's a

2240
01:50:22,000 --> 01:50:24,680
Speaker 3: chain in here that the Kentucky barrels brought by. Just

2241
01:50:25,000 --> 01:50:27,799
Speaker 3: just move it was falling off the desk. Kentucky barrels

2242
01:50:27,840 --> 01:50:30,920
Speaker 3: are here more than Bill Cunningham is. That is one correct.

2243
01:50:31,920 --> 01:50:33,439
Speaker 3: Let's take a break, let's come back.

2244
01:50:33,640 --> 01:50:34,040
Speaker 4: I Uh.

2245
01:50:34,640 --> 01:50:39,280
Speaker 3: There's a piece of audio of Richard Patino and his

2246
01:50:39,439 --> 01:50:42,760
Speaker 3: radio show last night where he laid out and I think,

2247
01:50:42,880 --> 01:50:46,960
Speaker 3: very upfront, very honestly, the pillars to success if they're

2248
01:50:47,040 --> 01:50:50,040
Speaker 3: going to have that ad xavior with him as the

2249
01:50:50,080 --> 01:50:51,760
Speaker 3: head coach. I want to play that audio and we'll

2250
01:50:51,800 --> 01:50:53,800
Speaker 3: react to that before we get to Mowagger coming up

2251
01:50:53,800 --> 01:50:56,880
Speaker 3: next on ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station.

2252
01:50:57,600 --> 01:51:01,160
Speaker 4: From the Court to the Cage, Diamond to the Dome.

2253
01:51:01,640 --> 01:51:06,679
Speaker 1: He brings the Moegar today at three pm on ESPN

2254
01:51:06,880 --> 01:51:07,880
Speaker 1: fifteen thirty.

2255
01:51:09,200 --> 01:51:09,559
Speaker 5: This is.

2256
01:51:18,240 --> 01:51:21,240
Speaker 4: Welcome back since he three to sixty. You are listening

2257
01:51:21,320 --> 01:51:27,960
Speaker 4: on ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station. More rolling along

2258
01:51:28,040 --> 01:51:28,680
Speaker 4: our number three.

2259
01:51:28,720 --> 01:51:30,439
Speaker 3: We've got a few minutes here and we'll get to

2260
01:51:30,520 --> 01:51:33,360
Speaker 3: Moegar for quick hits and he'll let you know what's

2261
01:51:33,400 --> 01:51:36,360
Speaker 3: on the Moeger Show coming up this afternoon before we

2262
01:51:36,560 --> 01:51:42,080
Speaker 3: get to any of that. Last night Austin Richard Patino

2263
01:51:43,400 --> 01:51:45,439
Speaker 3: went to his radio show and was kind of asked

2264
01:51:45,439 --> 01:51:48,560
Speaker 3: about the future and where Xavier needs to get to

2265
01:51:48,800 --> 01:51:55,160
Speaker 3: and described the four pillars of building the Xavier basketball

2266
01:51:55,240 --> 01:51:59,400
Speaker 3: program to a successful level. And what I respect the

2267
01:51:59,479 --> 01:52:04,160
Speaker 3: most about this is one his honesty and two year

2268
01:52:04,320 --> 01:52:07,880
Speaker 3: one not even do his first season. He's putting some

2269
01:52:07,960 --> 01:52:10,880
Speaker 3: pressure on Xavier on what they need to do to

2270
01:52:11,000 --> 01:52:14,479
Speaker 3: make sure that they are competitive year in in, year out.

2271
01:52:14,600 --> 01:52:17,200
Speaker 3: Take a listen to a little over two minutes to

2272
01:52:17,240 --> 01:52:18,760
Speaker 3: what Richard Patino had to say last night.

2273
01:52:19,160 --> 01:52:22,439
Speaker 33: There's really four parts of this thing. Number one, And

2274
01:52:22,560 --> 01:52:25,200
Speaker 33: the most important part is what's your budget? That's the

2275
01:52:25,320 --> 01:52:28,880
Speaker 33: number one most important thing. How invested are you in winning?

2276
01:52:29,200 --> 01:52:31,120
Speaker 33: And we've got a long way to go there. But

2277
01:52:31,320 --> 01:52:33,160
Speaker 33: I mean, this is not a coach complaining. We have

2278
01:52:33,200 --> 01:52:34,760
Speaker 33: a long way to go to get to the level

2279
01:52:34,840 --> 01:52:37,840
Speaker 33: of Saint John's Yukon. You know that you watch the

2280
01:52:37,960 --> 01:52:41,439
Speaker 33: game Friday night, Yukon, Saint John's in the guarden. How

2281
01:52:41,520 --> 01:52:44,360
Speaker 33: you don't want to be invested And I'm not complaining

2282
01:52:44,439 --> 01:52:46,800
Speaker 33: by any means, but like how you don't see the

2283
01:52:46,880 --> 01:52:50,120
Speaker 33: return on the investment? Like that was a two hour

2284
01:52:50,280 --> 01:52:54,160
Speaker 33: commercial for Saint John's. They're both high level programs. So

2285
01:52:54,680 --> 01:52:58,200
Speaker 33: the four parts are competitive nil, we got work to

2286
01:52:58,240 --> 01:53:01,760
Speaker 33: do there. Second part is high school recruiting. We're very,

2287
01:53:01,880 --> 01:53:04,599
Speaker 33: very excited about the guys that we're bringing in. Third

2288
01:53:04,640 --> 01:53:07,559
Speaker 33: part would be retention of the players in your program,

2289
01:53:07,960 --> 01:53:10,280
Speaker 33: decision making of who you want to bring back.

2290
01:53:10,520 --> 01:53:11,880
Speaker 7: But again it's going to come down to money.

2291
01:53:11,880 --> 01:53:14,000
Speaker 2: If they have an agent, it's coming down to money. Okay,

2292
01:53:14,120 --> 01:53:16,960
Speaker 2: So then you have to decide, you know, what do

2293
01:53:17,040 --> 01:53:18,240
Speaker 2: you when do you pull the plug?

2294
01:53:18,360 --> 01:53:20,160
Speaker 33: When do you say, all right, that's too much, we're

2295
01:53:20,200 --> 01:53:23,799
Speaker 33: walking away and then the fourth part is the transfer portal.

2296
01:53:23,880 --> 01:53:27,280
Speaker 33: So you know, we're starting to think about you know,

2297
01:53:27,360 --> 01:53:29,080
Speaker 33: you don't want to distract the players right now.

2298
01:53:29,200 --> 01:53:30,240
Speaker 2: You don't want them thinking.

2299
01:53:30,040 --> 01:53:33,760
Speaker 33: About those things, but about those conversations and kind of

2300
01:53:33,840 --> 01:53:36,680
Speaker 33: looking over their contracts and okay, do we think this

2301
01:53:36,800 --> 01:53:40,320
Speaker 33: guy maybe deserves more does he deserve less? You know,

2302
01:53:40,439 --> 01:53:43,519
Speaker 33: the hard part is like there's no real market value.

2303
01:53:44,040 --> 01:53:46,519
Speaker 33: Your market value is what somebody's willing to pay you.

2304
01:53:46,840 --> 01:53:47,680
Speaker 2: You know, that's really it.

2305
01:53:47,840 --> 01:53:51,120
Speaker 33: You can't go into a database anymore and say this

2306
01:53:51,280 --> 01:53:53,720
Speaker 33: kid's averaging twelve points a game, eight rebounds a game.

2307
01:53:54,040 --> 01:53:56,160
Speaker 33: That's what he's supposed to be getting. So it's like

2308
01:53:56,720 --> 01:54:00,280
Speaker 33: there's really no exact science. My only exact science get

2309
01:54:00,320 --> 01:54:01,160
Speaker 33: as much money as.

2310
01:54:01,040 --> 01:54:02,759
Speaker 2: You possibly can get, twild a roster.

2311
01:54:02,960 --> 01:54:05,439
Speaker 33: And uh, you know, I don't know if President Handrich

2312
01:54:05,520 --> 01:54:07,640
Speaker 33: or Greg really liked that one, but if I was,

2313
01:54:07,680 --> 01:54:09,160
Speaker 33: I would just give me twenty million.

2314
01:54:09,200 --> 01:54:09,880
Speaker 7: Then we'll go get it.

2315
01:54:09,960 --> 01:54:12,960
Speaker 2: But but that's that's the hard part right now.

2316
01:54:13,000 --> 01:54:15,160
Speaker 33: But yeah, we're starting to certainly think about that because

2317
01:54:15,200 --> 01:54:16,719
Speaker 33: this thing is going to be done very quickly.

2318
01:54:18,160 --> 01:54:20,479
Speaker 21: Coaches you as you, uh, you mentioned that you had

2319
01:54:20,520 --> 01:54:23,960
Speaker 21: the meeting today I'm sure there's meanings must increase under

2320
01:54:24,080 --> 01:54:27,000
Speaker 21: frequency and month as you kind of near ane.

2321
01:54:27,080 --> 01:54:29,679
Speaker 33: Yeah, I mean you have to understand all the players,

2322
01:54:29,800 --> 01:54:31,719
Speaker 33: not all of them, but i'd probably say ninety percent

2323
01:54:31,720 --> 01:54:34,640
Speaker 33: of them have agents. Certainly we don't want to break

2324
01:54:34,680 --> 01:54:37,000
Speaker 33: any tampering rules or anything, but these people are reaching

2325
01:54:37,080 --> 01:54:40,960
Speaker 33: out and I'm sure our players on this roster's agents

2326
01:54:40,960 --> 01:54:42,160
Speaker 33: are reaching out to other teams too.

2327
01:54:42,280 --> 01:54:45,640
Speaker 2: It's just the reality of it, you know. So you've

2328
01:54:45,680 --> 01:54:47,240
Speaker 2: got to you've got to be ready to pivot.

2329
01:54:47,400 --> 01:54:49,840
Speaker 33: You know, you've got to have a database of I mean,

2330
01:54:49,880 --> 01:54:53,120
Speaker 33: they're all they're all free agents, all of them. So

2331
01:54:53,280 --> 01:54:55,320
Speaker 33: again it's it's you've got to build the funds to

2332
01:54:55,400 --> 01:54:57,440
Speaker 33: where you're competing and really trying to do this at

2333
01:54:57,480 --> 01:54:58,880
Speaker 33: a high level, and then you got to spend your

2334
01:54:58,880 --> 01:54:59,800
Speaker 33: money wisely.

2335
01:55:00,320 --> 01:55:00,720
Speaker 2: Though it is.

2336
01:55:00,960 --> 01:55:03,080
Speaker 3: I love the fact Austin that a year one coach

2337
01:55:03,400 --> 01:55:06,360
Speaker 3: is saying, if you want to have success, this is

2338
01:55:06,400 --> 01:55:09,520
Speaker 3: what it is now, right Like we know that, but

2339
01:55:09,640 --> 01:55:13,880
Speaker 3: he's saying the quiet part out loud one nil that's

2340
01:55:13,920 --> 01:55:16,840
Speaker 3: how you build, and he put it very bluntly. They've

2341
01:55:16,880 --> 01:55:18,440
Speaker 3: got a long way to go at Xavier. If you

2342
01:55:18,440 --> 01:55:20,000
Speaker 3: want to compete with the top of the Big East

2343
01:55:20,560 --> 01:55:23,160
Speaker 3: two high school recruits. He likes what they're doing there.

2344
01:55:23,320 --> 01:55:26,760
Speaker 3: Three the retention piece. What I think is interesting about this, Austin,

2345
01:55:26,840 --> 01:55:29,480
Speaker 3: is there so many folks that talk about retention and say, well,

2346
01:55:30,040 --> 01:55:31,440
Speaker 3: you know, it's such a good fit.

2347
01:55:31,600 --> 01:55:34,040
Speaker 2: The style of play is a good fit. It makes

2348
01:55:34,040 --> 01:55:35,120
Speaker 2: sense for that player to come back.

2349
01:55:35,120 --> 01:55:38,640
Speaker 3: And as Richard Patino said, if these players already have

2350
01:55:38,680 --> 01:55:40,760
Speaker 3: an agent, it doesn't matter about any of that. All

2351
01:55:40,840 --> 01:55:44,840
Speaker 3: that matters is money. Yep, he talked about the portal. Again,

2352
01:55:45,120 --> 01:55:47,840
Speaker 3: that comes down to money. But where I think things

2353
01:55:47,920 --> 01:55:51,760
Speaker 3: have gotten crazy is Richard Patino talked about the lack

2354
01:55:51,840 --> 01:55:56,280
Speaker 3: of market value. It would be one thing, Austin to say, hey, look,

2355
01:55:56,480 --> 01:55:59,480
Speaker 3: this player averaged twelve points and seven rebounds a game

2356
01:55:59,560 --> 01:56:02,320
Speaker 3: last year, and then you go into a database and

2357
01:56:02,440 --> 01:56:05,880
Speaker 3: all the players that average pretty near that mark, here's

2358
01:56:05,920 --> 01:56:06,880
Speaker 3: what they're getting paid.

2359
01:56:07,320 --> 01:56:09,560
Speaker 4: You would at least have an idea. There is no

2360
01:56:09,720 --> 01:56:10,360
Speaker 4: market value.

2361
01:56:10,840 --> 01:56:12,760
Speaker 3: It is literally what a team is willing to pay

2362
01:56:12,920 --> 01:56:15,440
Speaker 3: for someone, and the teams with more money are going

2363
01:56:15,480 --> 01:56:17,480
Speaker 3: to be able to overpay, and then that resets the

2364
01:56:17,560 --> 01:56:21,840
Speaker 3: number for everybody else. Again, this isn't anything new that

2365
01:56:21,960 --> 01:56:25,040
Speaker 3: we're hearing. But I do think it's refreshing to hear

2366
01:56:25,720 --> 01:56:29,320
Speaker 3: a coach, especially a first year coach, say, listen, do

2367
01:56:29,360 --> 01:56:30,640
Speaker 3: no matter what we're able to do, if you want

2368
01:56:30,680 --> 01:56:32,960
Speaker 3: to be competitive, we need to do a lot better

2369
01:56:33,600 --> 01:56:36,880
Speaker 3: when it comes to raising money for this program. And

2370
01:56:37,000 --> 01:56:41,480
Speaker 3: the honesty in that and the comment the relationships are great.

2371
01:56:42,320 --> 01:56:42,720
Speaker 2: It's great.

2372
01:56:42,760 --> 01:56:46,880
Speaker 3: If players love playing for Richard Patino, that's awesome. But

2373
01:56:46,960 --> 01:56:49,600
Speaker 3: you're not dealing with the players anymore. You're now dealing

2374
01:56:49,640 --> 01:56:50,839
Speaker 3: with those players' agents.

2375
01:56:51,320 --> 01:56:51,760
Speaker 2: And guess what.

2376
01:56:51,880 --> 01:56:55,200
Speaker 3: The agents don't care about whether you like Richard Patino

2377
01:56:55,320 --> 01:56:57,640
Speaker 3: or not, whether you like West Miller or not, whether

2378
01:56:57,680 --> 01:56:59,840
Speaker 3: you like Travis Steel or not. All they care about

2379
01:56:59,880 --> 01:57:02,760
Speaker 3: is the money. And it is the tough part about

2380
01:57:02,840 --> 01:57:06,520
Speaker 3: college basketball right now. But I do think also the

2381
01:57:06,680 --> 01:57:11,920
Speaker 3: extreme honesty about where this sport is and what's needed

2382
01:57:11,960 --> 01:57:14,560
Speaker 3: in this sport is just laid out there by Richard Patino.

2383
01:57:15,000 --> 01:57:19,400
Speaker 3: By the way, his club, the Xavier Musketeers, I believe,

2384
01:57:20,200 --> 01:57:25,560
Speaker 3: are back in action tomorrow. They are hosting Marquette. That

2385
01:57:25,720 --> 01:57:29,480
Speaker 3: is a three o'clock start at the Centas Center. So

2386
01:57:29,880 --> 01:57:32,400
Speaker 3: that is the college basketball latest and I just thought

2387
01:57:32,400 --> 01:57:35,320
Speaker 3: it interesting to share what Richard Patino had to say,

2388
01:57:35,360 --> 01:57:37,160
Speaker 3: we'll see what Mulagar's got to share when he can.

2389
01:57:37,200 --> 01:57:39,440
Speaker 3: We come back for the Moulagar Show, which comes up

2390
01:57:39,480 --> 01:57:44,440
Speaker 3: next on ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati sports station w Watson.

2391
01:57:44,520 --> 01:57:48,879
Speaker 1: Time for quick hits on Tony Tykes Sincy three sixteen.

2392
01:57:52,560 --> 01:57:55,880
Speaker 4: Let's look, he's here, say Friday, what's up?

2393
01:57:56,200 --> 01:57:56,560
Speaker 7: How are you?

2394
01:57:56,760 --> 01:57:56,880
Speaker 5: Oh?

2395
01:57:56,960 --> 01:57:57,839
Speaker 7: Wonderful yourself?

2396
01:57:59,000 --> 01:57:59,320
Speaker 4: Be better?

2397
01:57:59,360 --> 01:58:05,280
Speaker 3: Here about ten minutes? Long weekend coming up? Long weekend. Yes,

2398
01:58:05,920 --> 01:58:08,240
Speaker 3: it's a it's a Friday edition to the Moegger Show.

2399
01:58:08,360 --> 01:58:08,600
Speaker 10: It is.

2400
01:58:08,800 --> 01:58:10,920
Speaker 4: I don't know if our Friday is different than Monday

2401
01:58:10,960 --> 01:58:13,520
Speaker 4: through Thursday editions of the show. Uh, no, you have

2402
01:58:13,600 --> 01:58:15,680
Speaker 4: anything different on the show this afternoon.

2403
01:58:15,720 --> 01:58:17,600
Speaker 7: The only thing that Taran and I do that's different

2404
01:58:17,720 --> 01:58:19,160
Speaker 7: is toward the end of the show we enjoy a

2405
01:58:19,240 --> 01:58:22,600
Speaker 7: Makers and Coke with each other man just sort of

2406
01:58:23,400 --> 01:58:26,800
Speaker 7: go into the weekend, just to start the weekend with force. Yes, well,

2407
01:58:26,880 --> 01:58:27,560
Speaker 7: Makers and Coke?

2408
01:58:27,720 --> 01:58:30,000
Speaker 3: Will you you use that Makers and Coke today to

2409
01:58:30,040 --> 01:58:32,800
Speaker 3: celebrate You won't have any more segments on nfl PA

2410
01:58:32,960 --> 01:58:33,600
Speaker 3: report cards.

2411
01:58:33,720 --> 01:58:36,480
Speaker 7: Tough one, tough one for us, always able to get

2412
01:58:36,480 --> 01:58:38,880
Speaker 7: a couple of segments out of the NFLPA report Card. Yep,

2413
01:58:39,040 --> 01:58:41,680
Speaker 7: that's tough. So you know, pour one out makers and

2414
01:58:41,760 --> 01:58:45,200
Speaker 7: coke perhaps for for us, because in the heart of

2415
01:58:45,240 --> 01:58:47,720
Speaker 7: the off season you've always been able to like sometimes

2416
01:58:47,760 --> 01:58:49,600
Speaker 7: stretch it to segments.

2417
01:58:49,680 --> 01:58:51,600
Speaker 3: Well, we always talk about, you know, the off season

2418
01:58:51,680 --> 01:58:57,040
Speaker 3: scheduling with free agency, draft combine schedule release, and you

2419
01:58:57,080 --> 01:58:59,080
Speaker 3: always kind of through in the NFLPA report cards.

2420
01:58:59,160 --> 01:59:01,280
Speaker 7: It has always it's been a state piece.

2421
01:59:01,120 --> 01:59:02,120
Speaker 4: Of the off season today.

2422
01:59:02,280 --> 01:59:04,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, in fact, I thought we were going to like

2423
01:59:04,480 --> 01:59:06,560
Speaker 7: sell a segment on it this year, like the nflp

2424
01:59:06,720 --> 01:59:07,720
Speaker 7: and report card brought to you.

2425
01:59:08,520 --> 01:59:10,600
Speaker 4: That would be something. What I loved about it is

2426
01:59:10,680 --> 01:59:12,520
Speaker 4: that they've said you can still do it, you just

2427
01:59:12,560 --> 01:59:13,760
Speaker 4: can't publish it right.

2428
01:59:13,840 --> 01:59:19,120
Speaker 7: It's the best part was shaming the team here, good

2429
01:59:19,160 --> 01:59:19,360
Speaker 7: at it.

2430
01:59:20,240 --> 01:59:21,240
Speaker 4: What do you got coming up today?

2431
01:59:21,320 --> 01:59:24,440
Speaker 7: Mike Decorsi from The Sporting News has written about the

2432
01:59:24,440 --> 01:59:28,440
Speaker 7: Miami RedHawks, who played tonight against the Ohio University. Bobcats Well,

2433
01:59:28,440 --> 01:59:30,840
Speaker 7: obviously do a lot of college basketball with Mike. That

2434
01:59:31,000 --> 01:59:33,920
Speaker 7: is going to be at four thirty five? Can Can

2435
01:59:33,960 --> 01:59:37,760
Speaker 7: you folks help me sure? When Bob Castellini was no

2436
01:59:37,880 --> 01:59:40,720
Speaker 7: longer going to own the Reds, who did people think

2437
01:59:40,880 --> 01:59:43,960
Speaker 7: was going to own the Reds Elon Musk Okay, well

2438
01:59:44,000 --> 01:59:46,200
Speaker 7: that wasn't going to happen. Yeah, who did People like

2439
01:59:46,640 --> 01:59:49,200
Speaker 7: I'm watching things on folto on social media last night,

2440
01:59:49,280 --> 01:59:51,280
Speaker 7: and as you know, I like to sit back sometimes

2441
01:59:51,320 --> 01:59:53,840
Speaker 7: and just watch the chaos, and I'm doing it, and

2442
01:59:54,200 --> 01:59:57,200
Speaker 7: folks are like, you would think they thought somebody else

2443
01:59:57,320 --> 01:59:58,120
Speaker 7: was going to own the team.

2444
01:59:58,280 --> 02:00:01,240
Speaker 4: I think people were rooting for k I think they

2445
02:00:01,280 --> 02:00:04,680
Speaker 4: were wanting something to come out to say, all Phil

2446
02:00:04,760 --> 02:00:05,560
Speaker 4: can't own the team.

2447
02:00:05,680 --> 02:00:08,960
Speaker 7: Well, what on earth would suggest that was a possibility.

2448
02:00:09,800 --> 02:00:13,360
Speaker 7: I mean, do you know that Mike Brown owns the

2449
02:00:13,400 --> 02:00:17,240
Speaker 7: Bengals because his dad did? And do you know Who's

2450
02:00:17,240 --> 02:00:19,560
Speaker 7: going to own the team when Mike Brown's done owning

2451
02:00:19,600 --> 02:00:22,080
Speaker 7: the team? It's probably not gonna be Clyde from down

2452
02:00:22,120 --> 02:00:26,760
Speaker 7: the street, you know, Like, is where is this like

2453
02:00:27,720 --> 02:00:29,240
Speaker 7: level of I think.

2454
02:00:29,160 --> 02:00:31,480
Speaker 4: There was also there was also a narrative that all

2455
02:00:31,520 --> 02:00:35,440
Speaker 4: Phil just does the business side, And I don't know

2456
02:00:35,560 --> 02:00:38,720
Speaker 4: exactly where that came from, but it's true he does

2457
02:00:38,840 --> 02:00:40,640
Speaker 4: handle a lot of that stuff. But I think there

2458
02:00:40,720 --> 02:00:43,040
Speaker 4: was people that kind of thought, oh, well Phil's just

2459
02:00:43,120 --> 02:00:45,120
Speaker 4: going to handle the business side. Somebody else will be

2460
02:00:45,200 --> 02:00:46,120
Speaker 4: more involved in BAB.

2461
02:00:46,040 --> 02:00:48,800
Speaker 3: I don't think I realized this was a thing because I, like,

2462
02:00:49,160 --> 02:00:51,560
Speaker 3: I saw the news yesterday and then I was driving

2463
02:00:51,600 --> 02:00:54,160
Speaker 3: in today and I saw Lance, our guy Lance mccallisor

2464
02:00:54,200 --> 02:00:56,920
Speaker 3: tweeted out, remember when the Suarez announcement created all that

2465
02:00:57,040 --> 02:00:58,920
Speaker 3: momentum for the Reds, And I thought, did I miss

2466
02:00:59,000 --> 02:01:01,720
Speaker 3: something this morning that something happened, And a lot of

2467
02:01:01,760 --> 02:01:04,880
Speaker 3: the replies were about the Castolini announcement. I'm like, well,

2468
02:01:04,880 --> 02:01:06,880
Speaker 3: that has nothing to do with and it was already

2469
02:01:06,920 --> 02:01:10,800
Speaker 3: announced the momentum that was. Like, I was taken back

2470
02:01:10,840 --> 02:01:13,320
Speaker 3: a little bit by the amount of pushback, Like I

2471
02:01:13,440 --> 02:01:14,920
Speaker 3: just kind of assumed that was always going to be

2472
02:01:15,000 --> 02:01:15,440
Speaker 3: the thing.

2473
02:01:15,480 --> 02:01:18,480
Speaker 7: When he was named chief executive officer.

2474
02:01:20,000 --> 02:01:20,640
Speaker 4: What was next?

2475
02:01:21,080 --> 02:01:23,360
Speaker 7: What did we think the next step was going to be. Now,

2476
02:01:23,560 --> 02:01:25,120
Speaker 7: I'm certainly not here to tell you this is the

2477
02:01:25,160 --> 02:01:26,840
Speaker 7: greatest thing in the world. I'm not here today. It's

2478
02:01:26,840 --> 02:01:29,280
Speaker 7: the worst thing in the world. I'm just I'm surprised

2479
02:01:29,320 --> 02:01:32,240
Speaker 7: at people's level of surprise and for some their level

2480
02:01:32,280 --> 02:01:36,320
Speaker 7: of frustration. Did we think that when Bob Castellini decided,

2481
02:01:36,360 --> 02:01:39,360
Speaker 7: you know what, I'm done, that like some RANDO was

2482
02:01:39,400 --> 02:01:42,640
Speaker 7: going to be able to buy the club. So I

2483
02:01:42,720 --> 02:01:45,520
Speaker 7: don't want to talk so much about that, but I

2484
02:01:45,640 --> 02:01:47,720
Speaker 7: do want to talk about something that's important in the

2485
02:01:47,760 --> 02:01:51,080
Speaker 7: announcement that Phil now owns the team. We're going to

2486
02:01:51,120 --> 02:01:53,520
Speaker 7: spend some time on that. We got to stop with

2487
02:01:53,560 --> 02:01:55,680
Speaker 7: this Nick Castiantos thing man, which, by the way, good

2488
02:01:55,680 --> 02:01:58,560
Speaker 7: for Nick Krawl for basically saying, nah, we're good here.

2489
02:02:00,120 --> 02:02:02,040
Speaker 3: Dude, can't hold it against from just wanting to beer.

2490
02:02:02,120 --> 02:02:05,280
Speaker 3: First of all, Oh again that I think that should

2491
02:02:05,320 --> 02:02:07,760
Speaker 3: totally be allowed. Yes, I think in the next CBA

2492
02:02:07,920 --> 02:02:09,640
Speaker 3: the players should fight for that. Look, we'll give you

2493
02:02:09,720 --> 02:02:11,680
Speaker 3: a salary cap, sure, But here's the deal.

2494
02:02:12,080 --> 02:02:13,800
Speaker 7: The moment that I'm pulled, if I want to watch

2495
02:02:13,800 --> 02:02:14,840
Speaker 7: the rest of the game and the dug out with

2496
02:02:14,880 --> 02:02:17,040
Speaker 7: a cold one, I should be all to a oh.

2497
02:02:17,080 --> 02:02:19,880
Speaker 3: Yeah cigar and a cold one. Can you imagine you

2498
02:02:20,000 --> 02:02:23,000
Speaker 3: just go six yeah, three hits, one run.

2499
02:02:23,520 --> 02:02:26,320
Speaker 7: Andrew Rabbitt just in the heat, pitches his face off,

2500
02:02:26,760 --> 02:02:27,760
Speaker 7: gets pulled.

2501
02:02:27,640 --> 02:02:29,800
Speaker 2: Get yourself a cigar on the cold one.

2502
02:02:29,920 --> 02:02:32,720
Speaker 7: Bullpen can polish it off, and he puts back a

2503
02:02:32,760 --> 02:02:35,440
Speaker 7: Predomo and a cold one. That's dugout, Like, sign me

2504
02:02:35,640 --> 02:02:38,760
Speaker 7: up for that? Like I'm yes, I remember managers smoking

2505
02:02:38,800 --> 02:02:40,880
Speaker 7: in the dugout like Jim Leland. I mean, I remember

2506
02:02:40,920 --> 02:02:45,280
Speaker 7: when that was a thing, So why if there to me, like,

2507
02:02:45,400 --> 02:02:49,200
Speaker 7: I'll bring the two sides together. Look, players, owners want

2508
02:02:49,240 --> 02:02:54,280
Speaker 7: a cat Okay owners player when he's done playing, not

2509
02:02:54,480 --> 02:02:56,640
Speaker 7: while he's playing. When he's done playing, wants to sit

2510
02:02:56,720 --> 02:02:59,520
Speaker 7: in the dugout and have a beer. We good, cool, lockout,

2511
02:02:59,560 --> 02:03:00,920
Speaker 7: averted deal, We got it.

2512
02:03:01,280 --> 02:03:01,480
Speaker 4: Deal.

2513
02:03:01,600 --> 02:03:08,080
Speaker 7: There you go, bringing the two sides together, labor piece, tonna.

2514
02:03:09,600 --> 02:03:14,360
Speaker 7: I have a college basketball guarantee to make as well.

2515
02:03:14,920 --> 02:03:18,160
Speaker 3: Huh guarantee about drum Tang making his players run the

2516
02:03:18,200 --> 02:03:20,600
Speaker 3: stairs practice twice yesterday.

2517
02:03:22,680 --> 02:03:24,240
Speaker 7: I don't know why those players showed up.

2518
02:03:24,320 --> 02:03:24,720
Speaker 4: I don't either.

2519
02:03:24,760 --> 02:03:26,640
Speaker 3: It didn't show up for the game because I saw

2520
02:03:26,800 --> 02:03:29,120
Speaker 3: the previous remark, like a week or so ago. He

2521
02:03:29,200 --> 02:03:31,800
Speaker 3: went to, like the players defense, you know, don't take

2522
02:03:31,840 --> 02:03:33,880
Speaker 3: it on. The players are working hard. We'd love these guys,

2523
02:03:33,880 --> 02:03:35,560
Speaker 3: and then it went to these guys won't be in

2524
02:03:35,640 --> 02:03:36,360
Speaker 3: uniform next year.

2525
02:03:36,480 --> 02:03:38,480
Speaker 7: So I mean that's the thing though, Like, because west

2526
02:03:38,520 --> 02:03:41,400
Speaker 7: Miller's post game comments have drawn a lot of scrutiny,

2527
02:03:41,440 --> 02:03:44,080
Speaker 7: and it's like when you're having a bad season and

2528
02:03:44,200 --> 02:03:47,480
Speaker 7: you have to talk after every game targe like you're

2529
02:03:47,520 --> 02:03:50,200
Speaker 7: gonna play the hits. I mean, like Mick Cronin used

2530
02:03:50,200 --> 02:03:51,640
Speaker 7: to do this. We're like once a year, it's like

2531
02:03:52,160 --> 02:03:53,960
Speaker 7: I'm gonna go get some guys off the football team.

2532
02:03:53,960 --> 02:03:55,040
Speaker 2: We're holding tryout tomorrow.

2533
02:03:55,080 --> 02:03:57,320
Speaker 7: We're gonna we're gonna do the off the football team. Okay,

2534
02:03:57,800 --> 02:03:59,440
Speaker 7: and then like the next game when you'd be like

2535
02:04:00,280 --> 02:04:02,280
Speaker 7: watching us go through the warm ups, where are the

2536
02:04:02,320 --> 02:04:05,120
Speaker 7: football players? Right? Where are the where are the football players?

2537
02:04:05,120 --> 02:04:07,480
Speaker 7: So like this is kind of what coaches do in

2538
02:04:07,560 --> 02:04:10,440
Speaker 7: a good season. In a bad year, Oh yeah, yeah,

2539
02:04:11,160 --> 02:04:13,360
Speaker 7: well these guys are going to be here next year.

2540
02:04:13,480 --> 02:04:16,600
Speaker 7: We're on the steps like, you know, okay, how about this,

2541
02:04:16,680 --> 02:04:19,040
Speaker 7: Why don't you work on basketball stuff? Why don't you

2542
02:04:19,160 --> 02:04:20,160
Speaker 7: practice basketball?

2543
02:04:20,440 --> 02:04:20,960
Speaker 4: Sounds good.

2544
02:04:22,520 --> 02:04:24,200
Speaker 7: Show me a coach that's like really go into making

2545
02:04:24,240 --> 02:04:27,280
Speaker 7: this players run. I'll show you a bad coach, there's

2546
02:04:27,320 --> 02:04:27,720
Speaker 7: my take.

2547
02:04:28,240 --> 02:04:30,800
Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah, but running stairs too?

2548
02:04:31,040 --> 02:04:31,360
Speaker 7: Stairs?

2549
02:04:31,600 --> 02:04:34,200
Speaker 2: Come on, what's the point in grade school?

2550
02:04:34,960 --> 02:04:36,520
Speaker 7: You know, I just would have said to Jerome like

2551
02:04:36,640 --> 02:04:38,640
Speaker 7: peace out, I'm not going to be here next year. Right,

2552
02:04:38,680 --> 02:04:40,240
Speaker 7: you already said, See that would be the thing I

2553
02:04:40,240 --> 02:04:43,400
Speaker 7: would passively aggressively hold that against. Right, you said, what

2554
02:04:43,640 --> 02:04:45,200
Speaker 7: coach you said I wouldn't be here next year, so

2555
02:04:45,240 --> 02:04:47,160
Speaker 7: why should I care? Well, I didn't really mean that

2556
02:04:47,200 --> 02:04:47,800
Speaker 7: when you said it.

2557
02:04:48,280 --> 02:04:49,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, you said what you mean.

2558
02:04:49,880 --> 02:04:51,680
Speaker 7: So I don't know if I'm coming to practice captain,

2559
02:04:51,680 --> 02:04:53,560
Speaker 7: I don't mightn't even come up to the next cap.

2560
02:04:54,480 --> 02:04:57,720
Speaker 7: Right should we be playing next I don't know. We'll see,

2561
02:04:57,840 --> 02:04:59,760
Speaker 7: we'll see. I'll see it. Tang, We'll see if I

2562
02:04:59,800 --> 02:05:01,960
Speaker 7: s off for that. Tang, I like it.

2563
02:05:02,640 --> 02:05:03,040
Speaker 14: I like it.

2564
02:05:03,120 --> 02:05:04,960
Speaker 7: I would also call him tang and not coach.

2565
02:05:05,160 --> 02:05:06,160
Speaker 4: That's probably what he goes by.

2566
02:05:06,320 --> 02:05:06,520
Speaker 18: Dang.

2567
02:05:06,720 --> 02:05:08,240
Speaker 4: You know, they win, he gets up and dances in

2568
02:05:08,320 --> 02:05:09,800
Speaker 4: the student section and all that fun stuff.

2569
02:05:09,880 --> 02:05:10,120
Speaker 2: Huh.

2570
02:05:10,680 --> 02:05:11,960
Speaker 4: Coach of the Year in twenty twenty three.

2571
02:05:12,040 --> 02:05:13,800
Speaker 7: He should wear a bag on his head for them.

2572
02:05:14,040 --> 02:05:18,120
Speaker 4: That would be fantastic, he said he would. Yeah, student section.

2573
02:05:18,440 --> 02:05:19,560
Speaker 4: I'm so embarrassed to coach.

2574
02:05:19,440 --> 02:05:21,560
Speaker 3: These playing cool, Like, if you really want to lean

2575
02:05:21,640 --> 02:05:24,240
Speaker 3: into it, wear the bag, wear a bag while you're coaching.

2576
02:05:24,400 --> 02:05:27,400
Speaker 2: Or they played like Baylor. It's like a terrible game.

2577
02:05:27,440 --> 02:05:28,840
Speaker 7: If I was one of the players on the bench

2578
02:05:28,880 --> 02:05:30,720
Speaker 7: who wasn't coming back, I would wear a bag on

2579
02:05:30,800 --> 02:05:31,120
Speaker 7: the bench.

2580
02:05:31,240 --> 02:05:34,680
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, Yeah, this is what we need. These

2581
02:05:34,720 --> 02:05:36,240
Speaker 4: are the ideas we need to run through.

2582
02:05:36,360 --> 02:05:38,080
Speaker 7: That's what we're doing. We're coming up with ideas for

2583
02:05:38,160 --> 02:05:40,280
Speaker 7: people today. Okay, yeah, I'm here for it.

2584
02:05:40,360 --> 02:05:42,080
Speaker 4: Back games, bad games.

2585
02:05:43,040 --> 02:05:45,200
Speaker 3: Uh, Norris got to win last night, huge one for

2586
02:05:45,280 --> 02:05:50,280
Speaker 3: Miami tonight, Yes, Muskies and Marquette tomorrow. Kentucky's got a massive, one,

2587
02:05:50,400 --> 02:05:53,320
Speaker 3: massive game and you see looks for three straight Big

2588
02:05:53,440 --> 02:05:56,360
Speaker 3: Twelve wins on Sunday against Utah, which would usher in

2589
02:05:56,920 --> 02:05:59,000
Speaker 3: what five days in between games of us really to

2590
02:05:59,040 --> 02:06:00,880
Speaker 3: build up how this season and stretch runs.

2591
02:06:01,000 --> 02:06:03,600
Speaker 7: You gotta think like game day will be in Lawrence

2592
02:06:03,880 --> 02:06:06,400
Speaker 7: for that game. You know, You've got to think bus

2593
02:06:06,520 --> 02:06:08,560
Speaker 7: trips are going to be organized to go to access

2594
02:06:08,560 --> 02:06:11,400
Speaker 7: to the house and then the Texas Tech game. So

2595
02:06:11,600 --> 02:06:12,600
Speaker 7: it's it's gonna be.

2596
02:06:13,560 --> 02:06:16,840
Speaker 3: I like, I love where the games fit in the schedule. Sure,

2597
02:06:17,120 --> 02:06:20,560
Speaker 3: I mean Kansas and Iowa State tomorrow on the road.

2598
02:06:21,160 --> 02:06:24,080
Speaker 3: They got Houston after the Bearcats. You couldn't ask for

2599
02:06:24,160 --> 02:06:27,440
Speaker 3: a better scheduling from the Big twelve Trap game, I

2600
02:06:27,520 --> 02:06:30,640
Speaker 3: think is the verbiage we we like to use, yep

2601
02:06:30,960 --> 02:06:32,680
Speaker 3: and don't let them get hot before they get to

2602
02:06:32,760 --> 02:06:35,800
Speaker 3: that glass floor. Well, in the Big Twelve times brought.

2603
02:06:35,640 --> 02:06:38,520
Speaker 7: Up to you. The ESPN's bubble Watch bubble now has

2604
02:06:38,600 --> 02:06:39,520
Speaker 7: them as long shots.

2605
02:06:39,560 --> 02:06:40,960
Speaker 4: I've had three people send me.

2606
02:06:41,040 --> 02:06:44,480
Speaker 7: That the Athletic has bubble Watch as well, lists the

2607
02:06:44,520 --> 02:06:46,440
Speaker 7: Bearcats as on the fringe.

2608
02:06:46,640 --> 02:06:47,240
Speaker 2: On the fringe.

2609
02:06:48,280 --> 02:06:51,560
Speaker 7: Now, I had someone say to me yesterday every team

2610
02:06:51,680 --> 02:06:52,960
Speaker 7: is listed on bubble Watch.

2611
02:06:52,800 --> 02:06:54,560
Speaker 4: That Bayler's on the fringe.

2612
02:06:54,640 --> 02:06:57,160
Speaker 7: That is not the case. I'm not saying this to

2613
02:06:57,280 --> 02:06:59,680
