Speaker 2: week is going fantastic. It's Humpday. So we're on the

11
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 2: back end here, we're heading downhill. We've got some college

12
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 2: basketball to discuss today. Wins last night from Miami and

13
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,840
Speaker 2: the Dayton Flyers, a tough loss for the Xavier Musketeers

14
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,879
Speaker 2: in which Yukon not only flexed against Xavier, but I

15
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 2: think flex to show that they are one of a

16
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 2: handful of teams that can cut down the nets this

17
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 2: upcoming March. I don't know, man, it felt like Xavi

18
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 2: was one good run away. Now maybe they were a

19
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 2: natural disaster. As Rick Brian said yesterday, away from maybe

20
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 2: making that a game, but it turns out he was right.

21
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 2: That might have been their only hope. Yep, that was

22
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 2: a dominant performance last night by yukon all facets of

23
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 2: those games when you're like, damn, yep, it's a it's

24
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 2: a feeling, and it's an unfortunate feeling that I know

25
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 2: this year when you play a team like it just

26
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 2: looks like a different sport at times. That has been

27
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 2: the occasion a couple of times watching UC in the

28
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 2: Big Twelve this year, and while I didn't think it

29
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 2: was as much so at the Sentas Center when these

30
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 2: two teams played the first time, it felt like two

31
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 2: different teams and levels being shown last night. You'll hear

32
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 2: little Richard Patino postgame audio. Today we'll talk about twenty

33
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 2: three straight wins for the Miami RedHawks. In a tough

34
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 2: road environment at Buffalo, they hang on to get the win,

35
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 2: and I mentioned before dayton ends their four game losing

36
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 2: streak in the A Ten. They get a win over

37
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 2: the Bonnie Saint Bonaventure last night. Tonight, Northern Kentucky Place

38
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 2: host to Green Bay. Locally Louisville Place host to Notre Dame,

39
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 2: and the Kentucky Wildcats are at Reparena against the Oklahoma

40
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 2: Sooners last night, and we'll spend more time today talking

41
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 2: about the NFL Pro Bowl. The NFC squad came out

42
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 2: on top. And the only problem I have with what

43
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 2: happened between last night and today is if you were

44
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 2: to go to like ESPN dot com today and you

45
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 2: pull up let's say that the main page you see

46
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 2: Antoine Winfield's interception of Joe Burrow seals the NFC win

47
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 2: in the Pro Bowl. And while that's true, wasn't an

48
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 2: errant pass from Joe Burrow, it was unfortunate a drop

49
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 2: from Jamar Chase. Last night, he dropped two that led

50
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 2: to interceptions. He got one of them back when he

51
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 2: was playing defense for the AFC squad with a one

52
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 2: handed interception, returned it to the house for a touchdown.

53
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 2: But watched last night, and we'll talk about some of

54
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 2: his quotes during the game. But whether it was Joe Flacco,

55
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 2: T Higgins, Jamar Chase, or Joe Burrow, it just genuinely

56
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 2: looked like those guys, especially Joe Burrow, was out there

57
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 2: having fun. Yeah, And there was also a point where

58
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 2: Jason Kelcey and Dan Orlovsky. They're following along and they

59
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 2: did a close up on Joe Burrow and it was like, yeah,

60
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 2: he's having fun, but that's a different look in his

61
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 2: eyes compared to a lot of the other guys.

62
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

63
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 4: They all kind of said like, yeah, you're just like okay,

64
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 4: we'll see what happens. Then you get out there and

65
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 4: you start playing football and you start being competitive and

66
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 4: the next thing you know, you're trying to win and

67
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 4: you just you had fun. It was cool to see

68
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 4: him play like that. My favorite part of the entire thing.

69
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,839
Speaker 4: I said this yesterday. I was confirmed, yes last night.

70
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 4: Micah Parsons just ride around on that scooter. Every time

71
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 4: something big would happen for the NFC, he'd be riding

72
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 4: out there. Was so funny and a good example for

73
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 4: those guys of coming out and showing up and having

74
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 4: fun and making the most of the moment.

75
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 2: It was cool. There's a point where like all the

76
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 2: cheerleaders are in the end zone together and the camera

77
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 2: pans back and Parsons, with his personal video recorder that

78
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 2: he had going all night, is just going by on

79
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,359
Speaker 2: the motorized scooter as he's filming, and he's in the

80
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 2: shot that they're doing. It was it was fun. I

81
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 2: enjoyed Steve Young and Jerry Rice throughout the game. But

82
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 2: more importantly, the NFL took something that was awful from

83
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 2: a product standpoint, right, and they did something that's not easy,

84
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 2: and that's trying to change something that was kind of

85
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 2: set in place, and in changing it, to go through

86
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 2: the understanding that it might not take right away, and

87
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 2: it might not feel the same, and it might push

88
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 2: people to turn away. And that may have been the case.

89
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 2: But last night, as an observer, I found myself genuinely

90
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 2: enjoying watching that game, especially as it went on and

91
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 2: you saw both sides the competitiveness start the show through.

92
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 2: I just I enjoyed it.

93
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I know that's crazy to think, but those

94
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 4: of us all, yes, yeah, those of us who tuned

95
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 4: in to watch some flag football actually enjoyed it. By

96
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 4: the way, Like during the offseason and especially during the summer,

97
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 4: NFL Network and sometimes ESPN will televise flag football. And

98
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 4: if you've been to Canton anytime recently, they've built a

99
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 4: whole facility up there, the Hall of Fame Village, and

100
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 4: they host these tournaments and.

101
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 2: They'll put these on TV. And it's fun to watch.

102
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 3: You know.

103
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 4: Obviously those people, the people that are competing, they take

104
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 4: it a little bit more seriously. I think there's like

105
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 4: actual competitions in San Francisco. I know the Mexican national

106
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 4: flag football team is there as they get set for

107
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 4: the Olympics. In a couple of years, I learned about

108
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 4: flag football too. That official probably on the screen a

109
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,919
Speaker 4: little too much, throwed a few two mini flags, but

110
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 4: also they were calling the actual NFL flag rules, which

111
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 4: made me learn about some of the rules, which made

112
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 4: me a little bit more interested in the flag football product.

113
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 2: And I think that's ultimately part of the goal here.

114
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 2: Steve Young multiple times last night when he was interviewed

115
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 2: reference winning gold medal, Yeah, and growing flag football. I

116
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 2: thought it was cool before the actual game itself. Leading

117
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 2: up to it, they televised a women's flag football game. Yep,

118
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 2: some of them girls were balling. I'm telling you, it's

119
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 2: like leitmately entertaining. Yes, like Legitimately, it was fun to

120
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,359
Speaker 2: watch last night. So kudos to everyone that was a part.

121
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 4: In mind too, the Bengals and the Browns in the

122
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 4: NFL and the Pro Football Hall of Fame, they all

123
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 4: partnered up with the Ohio High School Athletic Association and

124
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 4: they're making that like a state sanctioned sport. You can

125
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 4: win a state championship with flag football women for girls.

126
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 4: So I think that's a really good thing. I think

127
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 4: it continues to grow and the NFL and I'm glad

128
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 4: the Bengals are a part of it in one in

129
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 4: some way, shape or form.

130
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 2: So my daughter will she'll go to a sporting event

131
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 2: and she'll watch, but she doesn't have a ton of

132
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 2: interest in sports yet. And there was a point last

133
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 2: night we were watching the women's flag game and Wilder

134
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 2: like he yelled downstairs. She's like, what are you watching?

135
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 2: And my daughter yelled up. She's like this is football

136
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 2: for me, and just sat there and watched like thirty

137
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 2: minutes of it. That's cool. And I'm like, that's cool,

138
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 2: like that's what it's supposed to be doing, and you know,

139
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 2: it sparked her interest. So I sat there and watched

140
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 2: it with her and it was pretty cool talking about

141
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 2: rules and different things like that. So who's going to

142
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 2: be a better quarterback, Wesley or Tony? Probably her? Yeah,

143
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 2: probably her. Other NFL news and tomorrow, I think Austin

144
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 2: will be our day to kind of dive into the

145
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 2: super Bowl. We'll do some read and react. We'll talk

146
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 2: about the super Bowl tomorrow and Friday. The NFL Player

147
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 2: Association Interim execute Director David White said at the NFLPA

148
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 2: Union's annual Super Bowl news conference yesterday that quote our

149
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 2: members that would be the players have no appetite for

150
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 2: an eighteen game regular season. He said, it's not casual

151
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 2: for us. It's a very serious issue player health, player safety,

152
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 2: all the things that come with a longer regular season.

153
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 2: And it also said nothing will move forward until players

154
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 2: have the opportunity to account for all of those factors,

155
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 2: take that into consideration, and then go through negotiations to

156
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 2: agree or not on an eighteenth game. But as of now,

157
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 2: they have no appetite for it.

158
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 4: It depends how much, just how badly the NFL owners

159
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 4: want that eighteenth game. That will determine what happens. Yeah,

160
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 4: Like if Roger Goodell, if it's true what Roger Goodell wants,

161
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 4: which is eighteen games and an international game every single week,

162
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 4: or at sixteen total international games or whatever it might be,

163
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,319
Speaker 4: then they're gonna have to add probably a second by

164
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 4: week they're gonna have to add probably four roster spots.

165
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 4: They're gonna have to add or take away one of

166
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 4: the preseason games like these are gonna be just the

167
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 4: very basic demands of the players in order to get

168
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 4: that eighteenth game. And there might be and I know

169
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 4: that some of the players have talked about this Thursday

170
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 4: nights they despise it. Maybe part of that would be

171
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 4: a limited Thursday night schedule, kind of like what it

172
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 4: used to be, where it would start in the middle

173
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,559
Speaker 4: of the season and go on after that. I wonder

174
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 4: if that's a possibility, but I think, you know, Thursday

175
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 4: nights are in jeopardy as well.

176
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 2: Frank Reich is the new offensive coordinator of the New

177
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 2: York Jets. With some other NFL news as well. Tomorrow

178
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 2: is the deadline for the NBA trade deadline is tomorrow.

179
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 2: We're already seeing some moves come through all I hate

180
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 2: to say it. Voss gone, Vouch now for the memories,

181
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 2: voch is gone. He goes to the Boston Celtics. That

182
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 2: was not the marquee deal from last night. It was

183
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 2: the deal that has sent James Harden to the Cleveland

184
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 2: Cavaliers for guard Darius Garland and a second round pick.

185
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 2: So this is something that obviously came up that Harden

186
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 2: felt like he was quote holding the Clippers up in

187
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 2: their future. He's he's thirty six years old, although he's

188
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 2: still playing at a high level. I uh, I'm kind

189
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 2: of over the James Harden thing. Everywhere he's went, he's

190
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 2: kind of been almost like a virus that's followed with him,

191
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 2: where he wants all this power and then he ends

192
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 2: up running guys out and no one can really build

193
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 2: a successful team around him. Now he goes to Cleveland

194
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 2: where Donovan Mitchell is in place. They have a lot

195
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 2: of shooters around him, They got mobiley on the inside.

196
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 2: I don't know whether it will be a good fit

197
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 2: for Cleveland or not. I also heard there's rumblings that

198
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 2: this isn't the only move that the Cleveland Cavaliers are

199
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 2: trying to make. So the next twenty four hours or

200
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 2: so should be pretty busy across the NFL with the

201
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 2: big name Yannis Anto, the Kumpo, a player that everyone

202
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 2: is kind of keeping an eye on where he's going

203
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 2: to go between now and the trade deadline. So that's

204
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 2: where things are things are at in the National Basketball Association. Also,

205
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 2: the Olympics opening ceremonies are Friday, talked about the Games

206
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 2: getting underway. We talked about Lindsay Vaughan's injury. Do you know,

207
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 2: Austin who the current Olympic medal favorite is? Which country

208
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 2: is favored to bring home the most medals at the Games? China?

209
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 2: It is not China. China's play US fifty five hundred. Now, China,

210
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 2: I think much more dominant in the summer events. Is

211
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 2: it Russia? It is not Russia. It is Norway. Norway

212
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:19,839
Speaker 2: is installed as a pretty substantial favorite minus one eighty

213
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 2: the US value right now plus three eighty Germany plus

214
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 2: seventeen hundred and Canada plus fifteen hundred odds to bring

215
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 2: home the most. That's the most gold medals. So really

216
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 2: that's what we're playing for here. No offense to silver,

217
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,559
Speaker 2: no offense to bronze. We're trying to win gold period.

218
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 2: Norway right now listed as the favorite to bring home

219
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 2: the most gold medals in the upcoming Olympics. Today, we

252
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 2: while Joe will show off that he can scoop. Hey, Oh,

253
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 2: it's more than every once in a while. Now, I'll

254
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 2: be honest there, that's a part of me that held

255
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 2: my breath. Of course, when he jumped up and spiked

256
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 2: the ball and landed. I'm holding my breath. I'm making

257
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 2: sure nothing was tweaked awkwardly, ankle was rolled jabbar, Chase

258
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 2: did a flip oh and didn't land at e That's

259
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 2: the west recent part.

260
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 4: He claimed in the interview later that he landed on

261
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 4: his butt on purpose. Oh too, because he hadn't done

262
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 4: it in a while. Ohka, he did it to protect himself.

263
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 2: Okay, And Jamar's body control is good enough where I

264
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 2: actually kind of believe him. Yeah, there was like a

265
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 2: point where Laski was like, rave, I forget who came

266
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 2: on a blitz and Burrow is like Turpin came on

267
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 2: a blitz And Burrow just gave him like a little

268
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 2: shoulder move, and it's like, man, how how good is

269
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 2: he in the pocket, even at the flag football level?

270
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 2: And uh, yes, his his athleticism, I think is uh

271
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 2: is at times taken for granted low nationally, not locally.

272
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people here realize how good

273
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 2: of an athlete Joe Burrow is.

274
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 3: Uh.

Speaker 2: They have four fantastic flavors. They pair well with anything,

282
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 2: especially a Super Bowl party. Jason Kelsey did a lot

283
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 2: of screaming last year. He did on the broadcast.

284
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 4: He did, but it needed energy and he brought energy.

285
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 5: Yeah.

286
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:26,920

Speaker 2: Garrett Bowles had a big night.

288
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 4: Like I also mentioned, I meant to talk to you

289
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 4: about this off the air, but who cares?

290
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 2: Uh?

291
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 4: He mentioned a center a long snapper Mike Went that

292
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 4: played at Cincinnati for a while and used to smoke

293
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 4: cigarettes and heaters. Man at halftime of the NFL games,

294
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 4: do you know anything about Yes?

295
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 2: Absolutely true. Mike went from elder high school. Dude, just

296
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 2: burn heaters all the time in college too. Absolutely, Oh

297
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 2: my god, it was all over the place. I mean

298
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 2: the life of a long snapper true, Like, just don't

299
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 2: have a ad snap. You're not really counted on to

300
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 2: go down and break down and make attack. I don't

301
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,719
Speaker 2: care if you're smoking cigarettes a long script, as long

302
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 2: as the snap goes where it needs to be and

303
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 2: whether No matter who he was snapping to, he was

304
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 2: good at that, so long illustrious career for one. Mike

305
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 2: went Pride of Elder Purple Friday ALTI or a elder

306
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 2: elder other So I did. I thought that was funny

307
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 2: and it was I thought. I thought Jason. I thought

308
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 2: the reason he was on that broadcast was to add

309
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 2: an energy to it because it's different than a normal

310
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 2: football game, and I thought he was able to do that. Obviously.

311
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 2: I think when Orlofski's involved in it, it it adds

312
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 2: a whole different layer. I think Orlofski's great at what

313
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 2: he's able to do, and the game itself. Again, early on,

314
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 2: I think, like the first drive, I'm like, oh boy,

315
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 2: because the receivers were like walking off the line of scrimmage.

316
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 2: Nobody was bursting. And then as the game went on,

317
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 2: I'm like, all right, doesn't matter what level it's at

318
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 2: as a competitor, that competitive nature is going to come

319
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 2: out at some point, and it certainly did last night

320
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 2: in the NFC able to pull off a win over

321
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 2: the AFC in the Pro Bowl last night. Let's take

322
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 2: a couple of phone calls here to get to get

323
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 2: today moved along?

324
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:14,800

331
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,360
Speaker 7: at the Truth Tundra seven o'clock.

332
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 2: Where will Austin be?

333
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 4: Are you is that what you're asking me, Phil, If

334
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:46,120
Speaker 4: am I going to the game, Yes, sir, I will

335
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 4: not be at the game tonight.

336
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:51,479
Speaker 2: I have plans, all right.

337
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 7: Well you know what I'm gonna I'm gonna sit a

338
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 7: ticket aside, don't rebobby me now, I'm gonna have a

339
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 7: ticket there for you in the box office, so you

340
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 7: just you know, any thing falls through, Okay, Phil, I'll

341
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 7: let Darren Bourne know that you might be there. We'll

342
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 7: scratch you down as a maybe.

343
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you tell him I'm a maybe, that might

344
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 4: be enough to kind of light a fire under the boys.

345
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 7: God they need it.

346
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 2: All right, Well, enjoy your plans. Thanks Phil, the game

347
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 2: on the Norse. I appreciate it. Give us a report tomorrow.

348
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 2: Thank you. Well, thanks Phil. Yeah, if I didn't have plans,

349
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 2: I would go. It's a great question. Yeah, it's a

350
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 2: great question. Now this has been I believe it was.

351
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 2: This has been a story before, Like there have been

352
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 2: players or people that leave tickets and hopes that someone's

353
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 2: going to come use them, right, was it? Dion used

354
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 2: to do that when he was here. I think they

355
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 2: used to leave tickets for for folks that wanted to

356
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 2: come to games. So maybe that's a good initiative. There By, Phil,

357
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 2: leave the ticket. It will call just in case you

358
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 2: decide to show up with your support for the Norse.

359
00:19:58,240 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 2: As I've said before, it's easy to be captain of

360
00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:01,640
Speaker 2: the ship when the sea is calm. Well, now somebody's

361
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 2: going to show up and say they're me. It could

362
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 2: be that's all right, it could be. That's one more

363
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 2: that's one more button the seat in the seats. Yeah,

364
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 2: there you go. N Ku.

365
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 4: By the way, if you've never been, it's a great

366
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 4: place to watch basketball game. Concessions are great, concourse is wonderful.

367
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 4: Arena's fantastic. I mean the Bearcats didn't want to leave.

368
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 4: We had to kick them out. So yep, I was

369
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 4: home for a while, go to a game. Was home

370
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 4: for the Bearcats for a while.

371
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 2: What's up, Mike?

372
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 3: Hey guys, Sorry, they were making me drink this nasty

373
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 3: it's called barrium. It's like liquid chalk. Oh not good,

374
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 3: Sorry about that, guy, No worries. I didn't watch that

375
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 3: last night. Excuse me to pull stuff thick. I didn't

376
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 3: know they're going to do that or when they asked

377
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 3: to be on. I'm sorry about guy. Oh, I never

378
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 3: know what's going to come and get you anymore. I

379
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 3: didn't watch the Pro Bowl last night because I watched

380
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 3: one of my favorite events of the whole year, which

381
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 3: was the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the Westminster

382
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 3: Kennel Club Dog Show. With twenty five hundred dogs out

383
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 3: of two hundred and fifty breeds. It's the super Bowl

384
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 3: of dog shows from Madison Square Garden. One hundred and

385
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 3: fiftieth anniversary place was packed, not an empty feet in

386
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 3: the house.

387
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 2: I didn't know that was last night. It was pretty cool.

388
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was two nights in a row because there

389
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 3: were seven groups of dogs, seven groups with the various

390
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 3: breeds in those groups, like the hound group, the working group,

391
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 3: the herding group, the toy group, the terrier group, all

392
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 3: that stuff. But the dog that won, which pushed me off.

393
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 3: But it was a nice dog because I went in

394
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 3: the Afternhoum was the Doberman Pincer and it was the

395
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,880
Speaker 3: first the fifth time in one hundred and fifty years

396
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 3: that the Adobees had won. And the second place was

397
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 3: the Chesapeake. Chesapeake like a water dog.

398
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you ever get.

399
00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 3: A chance to watch it, man, it's a lot of

400
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 3: fun because it's just relaxing. It's enjoy every one. And

401
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 3: if you like dogs, man, you see all of the

402
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 3: recognized dogs all over as far as the breeds go.

403
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 3: But it was every year I look forward to it.

404
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 3: Mo Mo cracking me up. Yesterday I called him and

405
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 3: I said, well, I wish you were out on radio Row,

406
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 3: and he goes, are you kidding me? That sucks? He said,

407
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 3: Radio Row is a bummer.

408
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 7: Dude.

409
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 3: You're in this big room and you're having to deal

410
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 3: with tea, the athletes that are half the time trying

411
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 3: to sell stuff. And he said he wouldn't have went

412
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 3: even if they are offered him to go at the station.

413
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 2: I would have went. I just I haven't experienced it before.

414
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 2: I know Mo Mo has, and Mo has been around it,

415
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 2: so I would have. I would have. I would go

416
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 2: just to experience. But if someone if Moe's had that experience,

417
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 2: that uh, that would be his choice. Moe's experiences are

418
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 2: not everybody's experience.

419
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 3: That's exactly right. And I told him, I said, look,

420
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 3: you're not in that room all damn day. You can

421
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 3: go explore the Bay area and enjoy the beauty of

422
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 3: the whole area. You know, it's anyway he was real

423
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 3: negative about couldn't he went on and on. I thought, God,

424
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 3: I wish I had brought her up. I'll help. My

425
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 3: whole phone call went to low talking about how much

426
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 3: you hate the Radio Row.

427
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 2: Anyway, I think more than just radio Road though, Like

428
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 2: you know, if you've ever been to the Combine and

429
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 2: you're going, you go out around the combine or out

430
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 2: to dinner, you're just seeing everyone else that's there for

431
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 2: the Combine, And I think that's a cool part of it.

432
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 2: And I would assume that to be pretty similar to

433
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 2: Radio Row.

434
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would. I don't know. I would just go

435
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 3: because it's a nice trip to a nice place, and

436
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 3: you know, that's what I would want to go for.

437
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 3: I got to thinking about Hurley when beating Patino Junior

438
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 3: last night, and I thought, hmmm, I bet he gets

439
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 3: a he relishes beatings junior because he's up on senior

440
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 3: right now. Had to had four games to three and

441
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 3: their career had to head matchups, but two of those

442
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 3: were when he was up at Iona. One of them

443
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 3: two times you Kondra grew him in the tournament and

444
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 3: beat them, but that was at Iona. The Gaels, I

445
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 3: love that name. The Gaels what a gale is right.

446
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, they win. They play each other twice still down

447
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:13,400
Speaker 2: the stretch as well.

448
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Patino beat them two weeks ago at the

449
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 3: Buzzer at Yukon. Yeah, two weeks ago at Yukon, I

450
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 3: believe it was. It's it called Gamble Campbell Stadium or

451
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 3: Gamble Arena or something up there at Yukon. But I

452
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 3: wonder if he Relish is beating Junior just because he

453
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 3: knows Rick's creeping up on him. And yeah, they're going

454
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 3: to go ahead. They had Rick might just take the

455
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 3: lead in that matchup. And here's the best part, guys,

456
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 3: this was like a dream come true yesterday from me.

457
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 3: I have never been to a Super Bowl. I never

458
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 3: even entertained thoughts of trying to get to a Super

459
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 3: Bowl because I thought, you know, it's too expensive. And

460
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 3: yesterday afternoon, some guy from the PR department at the

461
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 3: RAMS came to the hospice which is also called the

462
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 3: Community Living Center and La Joya here in Sandy in

463
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 3: northern San Diego County, and they had three tickets for

464
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 3: only for purple heart recipients to go to the super Bowl.

465
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 3: In conjunction, the RAMS are paying the whole Bill and uh,

466
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 3: And they did it for another veterans place up in

467
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 3: Santa Monica. So they're gonna drive us up there later

468
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 3: today and put us up in a Wow and put

469
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 3: us up in a hotel. And I don't know if

470
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 3: the seats are any good, because there one, my one veteran,

471
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 3: but because I wonder if the seats are any good,

472
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,679
Speaker 3: I said, what do you any good? Jack? Answer?

473
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 2: Giving at you're going to the super Bowl?

474
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 3: You know what? Just for that, you don't you don't get.

475
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 2: The right.

476
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 3: Wow, give it to the dog that want the dog shows.

477
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 2: That's awesome.

478
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 3: You're ungrateful.

479
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,880
Speaker 2: Cooln Yeah, I don't know where.

480
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 3: The seats are or nothing, but I don't care where there.

481
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 3: It's handicapped, so it's got to be decent seats. It's

482
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 3: not going to be overlooking the bay where you got

483
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 3: to turn around to watch a play or something. Oh.

484
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 3: I'm just so thankful. I'm almost in tears because I

485
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 3: don't know. I wish, I wish it was the Rams,

486
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 3: but I don't care. I'm just going on a root

487
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 3: like help for the Seahawks. So I just wanted to

488
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,000

489
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:19,719
Speaker 3: Thank you.

00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 2: That's awesome. Report back to us.

491
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,280

00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 3: so thanks you my crap.

493
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 2: Thank you. Congratulations. That's awesome. That's really neat. Yeah, the ms.

494
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,640
Speaker 4: It also makes me think of what we saw from

495
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 4: Jay Morrison earlier today. He posted a thread on Twitter

496
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 4: kind of thanking everyone for the the help and the

497
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 4: well wishes and the donation donations of everything following the

498
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 4: loss of his wife, Nikki, and he revealed that Zach

499
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 4: Taylor and Brian Callahan paid for the celebration of life

500
00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 4: for Jay Morrison's wife.

501
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it took care of, like the bar tend have everything.

502
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, and we I think we kind of loosely mentioned

503
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 4: that a little bit last week. But for them to

504
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 4: do that, I mean, that's that's really really freaking cool.

505
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, well said uh and and could not agree more

506
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 2: uh with with Zach and Brian Callahan and those gestures.

507
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 2: One more phone call here will get a break, Tom.

508
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 7: What's up, Hey, I got an idea for the Pro Bowl. Okay,

509
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 7: I think they should take college kids and play tackle football.

510
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 7: Have college kids who are out of out of ability

511
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,640
Speaker 7: and put them in there and they represent the players

512
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 7: and and play tackle football. So the players that were

513
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 7: elected would be represented by these college kids and they

514
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:42,679
Speaker 7: get the last chance and maybe get to the you know,

515
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 7: to the pros.

516
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 2: Interesting almost like a college all star game. You have

517
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 2: scouting departments there and all of it.

518
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 7: Yes, and to be real football, it wouldn't be. It

519
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 7: would be tackle football. I think that'd be a great idea.

520
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 7: And then some of these guys wouldn't get to the pros,

521
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 7: but they might and.

522
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,439
Speaker 2: You know, opportunity on the game. Like yeah, kind of

523
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 2: get mentored by each player. I like that, Tom, thank

524
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,880
Speaker 2: you for the phone call. That's not that's not bad.

525
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 2: I don't hate that. That's outside the box thinking. I

526
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 2: can live with that. By the way. The Westminster Kennel

527
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,679
Speaker 2: Club Dog Show, Yeah, do you know what, the winning

528
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 2: dog and owner receive million bucks. No money, Oh, there

529
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 2: is not a monetary reward attached. You get a trophy

530
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 2: and then you get prestige which kind of increases the

531
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 2: dog's value for stud fees and the sale of puppies.

532
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 2: Oh so, speaking of puppies, Oh, puppy Ball coming up

533
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 2: this weekend as well. You watch the Puppy Bowl. I

534
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 2: have in the past it's been a while. Yeah, there

535
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 2: was like a time where my Super Bowl Sunday would

536
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 2: be church, the Super Bowl of service, super Bowl bullet preaching, yes,

537
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 2: dog show, uh huh, super Bowl. Yeah.

538
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 4: I love Super Bowl Sunday. This is one of my

539
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 4: favorite days of the year. Cannot wait.

540
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 2: Not this year. They threw a UC game at two

541
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 2: for me. Oh watch that ruins it. What a week.

Speaker 2: They're awful. What a day. Well, they're awful right now.

00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 2: They're awful right now. So wait and see what happens tomorrow. Night.

00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:14,600

Speaker 2: thanks for the early birthday message.

563
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 4: The quick explanation is, at some point somebody did get

564
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 4: your birthday wrong, yes, and then that turned into a

565
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 4: flood of everyone telling you happy.

566
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 2: Birthday, yeah, like many things do.

567
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 4: And nowadays it's not as often, but every once in

568
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 4: a while, randomly throughout the year, on a day that

569
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 4: is not your birthday, someone like Phil and Newport will

570
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 4: say happy birthday Tony, yeah, or will there'll be what

571
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 4: a talk back says, Hey, Tony, happy birthday.

572
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 2: Here's what you know. Every once in a while it happens,

573
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 2: and I'm just thankful for those people who have they've

574
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 2: been through us, they've been through it with a through

575
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 2: thick and thin. And let me be the third to

576
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 2: tell you, Tony, happy bird. Thanks man. I probably appreciate that.

577
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 2: A couple other things here, but me today, one of

578
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 2: those days we get to Nick Crawl. I should have

579
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 2: asked Danniman about this yesterday, but I do want to

580
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 2: shine light because this game high school wise, is huge

581
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 2: on h on Friday night. Lakota West is seventeen and one.

582
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 2: They're ranked number one in Ohio by max Prepped Max Preps.

583
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 2: Number two in the state of Ohio is Princeton, they're

584
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 2: ranked fourteen and one. Those two teams play Friday night.

585
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 2: That's going to be an unbelievable game. And I should

586
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 2: have asked Joe yesterday about that because they do such

587
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 2: a good job at the final quarter. But Princeton Lakota

588
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 2: West should be a movie on Friday night in the

589
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 2: local high school basketball scene. Now, we'll talk to Jim

590
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 2: Day in our number three. Yesterday, as we were talking

591
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 2: to Joe Danoman, Nick Krawl, and Iohanneosuarez were speaking to

592
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 2: members of the media. We have some of that audio.

593
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 2: I thought we'd start with Nick Krawl because you know this,

594
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 2: this had to originate somewhere. You know, this had to

595
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 2: be presented, this had to be drawn out, this had

596
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 2: to be planned, and hey, this is what it would cost,

597
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 2: and this is where it might hurt us, and this

598
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 2: is what it would bring us, all of those moving

599
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 2: parts that go into a move like this. And oh,

600
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 2: by the way, can this guy help us win the

601
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 2: Suarez piece? That that's an appreciation and you could sense

602
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 2: that and you will sense that when you hear Suarez

603
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 2: here in just a couple of minutes. But here is

604
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 2: what Nick Krawl had to say when speaking to members

605
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 2: of the media.

606
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 4: Yes, and just for clarity, I've cut some of this

607
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 4: up where you hear some of the questions about not

608
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 4: all of the questions.

609
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 8: Here's Nick krtrety guy in that that is a middle

610
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 8: of the older beat that forty nine homers last year.

611
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 8: That you know, he's a great clubhouse guy, great guy

612
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 8: with all of your fans. You know what, what you're

613
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 8: getting with him is just a tremendous Indo And it's really, uh,

614
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 8: it's really been something that we weren't sure we were

615
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 8: gonna be able to do, but it was great that

616
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 8: we were able to get Gino.

617
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean we kept tabs on everybody.

618
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 8: Jeff probably did a good job stay in touch with

619
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 8: his agents and you know, we talked talked a lot

620
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 8: with with with folks, but we didn't know, we didn't

621
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 8: really negotiate and and you know, come to a hey,

622
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 8: this is going to be the road we can go

623
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 8: down until probably about ten days ago.

624
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 9: I guess, did you guys have to extend your budget?

625
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 9: Does this all fall into what you guys had in

626
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 9: mind of spending in the off season when it started?

627
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 8: No, I mean, this is this is more. We we

628
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 8: went to uh we we went to ownership last week

629
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 8: and we talked to Bob and Phil and you know,

630
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 8: we said, this is probably where it's going to go

631
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 8: and what we're gonna need that would be above and

632
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 8: beyond our budget, and they they approved it, and you

633
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 8: know that it was you know, we're excited to be

634
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 8: able to do that and go get it.

635
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 10: How much do you think they're familiarity with Gino, who

636
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 10: he is and all of that helped them say yes,

637
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,760
Speaker 10: and that I know you can't speak to it, but

638
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,399
Speaker 10: you had to feel better going to them with that, right.

639
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 3: Yeah.

640
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 8: I mean it is obviously a guy that that we

641
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 8: we know and that that's that's a guy that that's

642
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:19,840
Speaker 8: put up a lot of numbers for us in the

643
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,839
Speaker 8: seven years he's played here and you know obviously when

644
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 8: he left here as well. So but you know, I

645
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,319
Speaker 8: think we we had a lot of good discussions and

646
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 8: it was something that we talked about, you know, regardless

647
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 8: of the player, and it was it was a good

648
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 8: to be able to do that. We we yeah, we

649
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 8: extended for it, and you know, because we it's a

650
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 8: player we wanted. But yeah, I mean we we made

651
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 8: some moves that you know, lux deal that that saved

652
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 8: us a little bit money, but it wasn't necessarily to

653
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 8: make this move, and you know, this was something we

654
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 8: were able to do.

655
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:50,320
Speaker 5: Above and beyond.

656
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 9: Position wise, it sounds like you'll be mostly a d H,

657
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 9: but obviously you have some players. You have Hayes at

658
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,800
Speaker 9: third base, and you have a very similar younger profile

659
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 9: player and Stewart who play is DH first base and

660
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 9: third base. So how do you think Tito and the

661
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 9: club will make all this fit? I think, first off,

662
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 9: we're going to go into spring training and and let

663
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 9: some guys get some some acclamation of some positions. You know,

664
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:15,399
Speaker 9: Hayes obviously gold Glove third baseman, and he's a top

665
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 9: notch defender at third and he's he's gotten better at

666
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 9: offensively when he came over here, so we think there

667
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 9: that he's got some room to run. He's he's going

668
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 9: to be mostly at third base though, and then we've

669
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 9: got Gino who's gonna get reps at first third, and

670
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 9: DH Sal's gonna get reps at first third, second in

671
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:36,879
Speaker 9: DH Spence is going to get reps at first, second, left,

672
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 9: and right. So I think you're gonna be able to

673
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,319
Speaker 9: piece everything together, but it's going to be some guys

674
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 9: are going to get some reps at different positions and

675
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:45,720
Speaker 9: we'll see how it goes in spring training.

676
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 11: Nick, when when the five season ended, did you look

677
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:51,959
Speaker 11: at the team and say kind of simply, you need

678
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 11: some more home run power. Was that one of your

679
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:56,320
Speaker 11: takeaways from last season.

680
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 5: I don't think it's just home run power.

681
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:00,799
Speaker 8: I think, you know, we we looked at it as

682
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 8: we got to rebuild our bullpen. That was our first priority.

683
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 8: We needed to make sure that we improve the defense,

684
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 8: which was a big priority with where we were, and

685
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 8: just adding offense to the to the group. You know,

686
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:15,839
Speaker 8: whether it's home run power doubles power guys to drive

687
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 8: in runs, but it was it was something that we

688
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:19,800
Speaker 8: wanted to improve our offense.

689
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:24,759
Speaker 12: Yes, and Nick, to Charlie's point, did you also specifically

690
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 12: look at the middle of the order and how you

691
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 12: needed to deepen that part of the order behind it?

692
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,240
Speaker 5: Ali, I think you're always looking.

693
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 8: You know, obviously the middle of the order bats the

694
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,280
Speaker 8: top of the line hitter, so that's what you want first,

695
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 8: and then try to fill it out afterwards. But you know,

696
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 8: I think you're always looking. If there's a you know,

697
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:44,839
Speaker 8: potential to add a middle of the order bat that

698
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 8: you can work in, that'd be great.

699
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 2: All right. So that is some of nick krawl from yesterday. Austin.

700
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 2: I I took from that just the idea and the

701
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,319
Speaker 2: concept of how these things have to come together. I

702
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 2: think oftentimes we just assume, like you highlight a guy,

703
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 2: you go get them. You know, you highlighted a guy,

704
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 2: you took it upstairs and said, hey, this is this

705
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 2: is who we've highlighted. This is why we think it's

706
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 2: a fit. It's going to be over our budget and

707
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 2: over what we're expected to spend, but this is why

708
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:18,279
Speaker 2: we think this can work. And then that has to

709
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 2: get approved, and then you come back and you've got

710
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 2: to not only now present it to the player and

711
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 2: his agent, but you're battling against other teams, right. We

712
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 2: heard the pirates were we're offering more years or maybe

713
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 2: offering more. So there are so many moving parts that

714
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 2: go into a deal like this, and I thought Nick

715
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 2: Krawl did a pretty good job of kind of peeling

716
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 2: back the curtain a little bit to that.

717
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it does kind of confirm what we've said,

718
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,760
Speaker 4: and at least what I've said a lot over the years,

719
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 4: which is that the Reds can do more, but they

720
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 4: choose not to. And in this particular case, they made

721
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 4: an exception for a fan favorite, but a guy that

722
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 4: can also help them win. They deserve credit for doing that.

723
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,319
Speaker 4: They don't deserve credit for making Nick Kral have to

724
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 4: ask them to do that. That should have been in

725
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 4: the plans to begin with. But I'm glad that they did.

726
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 2: And I think putting him in the middle of that

727
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 2: lineup and being able to protect Ellie daily Cruz a

728
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 2: little bit just gives them a lot of confidence that, Okay,

729
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 2: maybe if there's a night where we're not performing well

730
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 2: or you know, whatever it might be, if a pitcher

731
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 2: pitches really well but we're down one to nothing, there's

732
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 2: a chance we can tie this thing up, or if

733
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:24,799
Speaker 2: somebody gets on base, we can win this with a

734
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 2: two run shot off the bat of au Haaneo Suarez.

735
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 2: So I'm glad they did it. There was also something

736
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,720
Speaker 2: in there, and we'll get to Suarez's comments after the break.

737
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 2: There was something in it as well. And I saw

738
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 2: this from Charlie Clifford when crawl And was talking about

739
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 2: kind of where guys are going to slide in and

740
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 2: who's gonna get reps where there was also something he

741
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 2: slid in there with Spencer Steer and south Stewart in

742
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 2: the time he was speaking yesterday that said that Spencer

743
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 2: Steer and south Stewart are expected to both put in

744
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:59,760
Speaker 2: some work at second base as well in spring training.

745
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 2: Could that potentially be one of those answers we've often

746
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 2: talked about Matt McClain. Could that be one of the

747
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 2: answers to the leash of Matt McClain, And what if

748
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 2: Matt McClain doesn't return to any form that we've seen,

749
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,919
Speaker 2: could that help? And leaving that and I'm not saying

750
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 2: every day, but okay, now we have Steer and we

751
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 2: have Stuart that they can play second base and we

752
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 2: can move stuff around if you do need to get

753
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 2: Matt McLain out of the lineup.

754
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 4: I think the process, the thought process has been, when

755
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 4: Ellie gets a day off, mcclin plays short.

756
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:33,399
Speaker 2: Somebody needs to play that position. But you're right, there

757
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 2: needs to be a contingency plan for what if Matt

758
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 2: McClain still stinks yep, who's going to be that guy?

759
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 2: That could be some of it, and that I think

760
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 2: is going to be a really really important part of

761
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:48,240
Speaker 2: this spring because one of the prerequisites to this team

762
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 2: being good again is Matt McClain, especially when you move

763
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 2: on from Miguel Andahar and Gavin Lux and the guys

764
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 2: that have been as consistent as they are offensively for

765
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 2: you that picked up some of the sl for Matt McClain.

766
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 2: You've kind of replaced him with a guy like Suarez, who, yes,

767
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 2: he can go deep, but he's not going to hit

768
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 2: for average. He's not going to get on base without

769
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 2: you know, with if McLain is just a sinkhole at

770
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 2: the bottom of the lineup again, that's an issue. Yeah,

771
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 2: Reds have to be ready for that. Also mentioned in

772
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 2: that yesterday that Graham Ashcraft and Tyler Stevenson have arbitration

00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 2: Suarez had to say in his press conference yesterday.

797
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 6: It's perfect. That's why I'm here because it's perfect, perfect workout.

Speaker 6: excited to be back home.

800
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 9: What made you select obviously the familiarity of the Reds,

801
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 9: But what made you decide that the Reds were the

802
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,360
Speaker 9: best option for you and your career over maybe some

803
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 9: of the other teams that you were being pursued by.

804
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 6: I mean, first of all, the Right was the team

805
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:05,320
Speaker 6: that I almost the off season talked to my agents

806
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 6: about me. They always asking the always was you know

807
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 6: internity on bring me back? And uh and when you

808
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 6: see when you put everything together, it's make it easy

809
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:18,719
Speaker 6: for me to be back home. You know, I see

810
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:21,799
Speaker 6: how my part of my family here, you know, my

811
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 6: daughter sheep worn here and uh and my wife and

812
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 6: I think we make it the good decision to be

813
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 6: back here.

814
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 5: Obviously when you put.

815
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 6: The chance the chance for me and and and and

816
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 6: win win the worst series of going to the worst series.

817
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:41,959
Speaker 6: Talk to with my agents that they make a really

818
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 6: good job and put all the number together. And I

819
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 6: think the chance to win, the change to bring the

820
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 6: playoff playoffs to the city and and and the change

821
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:56,279
Speaker 6: that we have with me and make a playoff and

822
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:59,799
Speaker 6: win and winning at all was high. So that's why

823
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:02,799
Speaker 6: I thing that made everything easier, you know, more than

824
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 6: than the personal whise. I know everybody, I know the city,

825
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 6: and I feel very very happy to be back. And

826
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,359
Speaker 6: and I think that the boat are going to make

827
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 6: my my career really keep keep on the good check

828
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:22,360
Speaker 6: for me. I think the the the division is very

829
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:25,400
Speaker 6: very easy for me. And like I say, I know

830
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 6: already and that made that everything easy.

831
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 11: Nick Croll just told us that ownership agreed to kind

832
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 11: of go above and beyond with their was going to

833
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 11: be to make this deal happen. What does that mean

834
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 11: to you that they were willing to spend more than

835
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 11: they were going to just because of you.

836
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:41,799
Speaker 5: It's mean mean a lot.

837
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:44,239
Speaker 6: Like I say, there was the team who asked for

838
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 6: me every time almost all the off season, and and

839
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 6: and we put everything together.

840
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 5: Like I say, both sides make a.

841
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 6: Really good deal and uh and uh, and I'm happy

842
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 6: that they work out. I think the owner chief and

843
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 6: Nicro Jeff everybody did a really good job to put

844
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:10,760
Speaker 6: everything together and make make make these these deal hobbing

845
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 6: and and obviously both sides are very happy to the

846
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:16,280
Speaker 6: hobby me back.

847
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:19,719
Speaker 2: All right. So that is part of what Suarez had

848
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:27,439
Speaker 2: to say yesterday. I I genuinely take him at his word.

849
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 2: I think, you know, the the idea to come here,

850
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 2: it felt like home, and it probably felt like the

851
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 2: best chance. With the pitching staff that's in place and

852
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 2: in the lineup, and the young town and Ellie da

853
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 2: la Cruz. It gives him a chance to to kind

854
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:48,880
Speaker 2: of chase what's been elusive to him. You know, he's

855
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 2: he's He's played significant postseason games. He hit a Grand

856
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:58,239
Speaker 2: Slam in Game five last year of the ALCS for

857
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 2: the Seattle Mariners. But it feels to me, Austin like

858
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 2: this decision was about how it feels for him in

859
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 2: Cincinnati and in the home environment and thinking that he

860
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 2: can compete in the National League and try to win

861
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 2: a championship. Now again, what they have in place to

862
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 2: do that or are the hurdles that need to be

863
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 2: jumped to get there? Obviously there's a lot there, But

864
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:28,880
Speaker 2: this is a player that has accomplished a lot in

865
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:31,959
Speaker 2: his major League baseball career, three hundred and twenty five

866
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:36,439
Speaker 2: home runs, an average of two forty six over his career.

867
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:38,959
Speaker 2: Obviously the last couple of years that average has been down.

868
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 2: But a power hitter who's hit a lot of home

869
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:45,600
Speaker 2: runs over his career, and a lot of that career

870
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:48,399
Speaker 2: was spent right here in Cincinnati. He gets to come home.

871
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 2: He fills a void that this team desperately needed to

872
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:54,920
Speaker 2: be filled, and he thinks he can he can win

873
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 2: a championship. Yeah. I mean the way that he talks

874
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:02,480
Speaker 2: about that, even mentioning the World Series, and a guy

875
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 2: that has played in some seriously important games over the years,

876
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:09,800
Speaker 2: and I think there's probably something to be said about

877
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:13,360
Speaker 2: like the comfort level of just being at home or

878
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:16,280
Speaker 2: what he considers home or you know that I feel

879
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:18,320
Speaker 2: like can translate to the ballpark. Can you mention the

880
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:21,760
Speaker 2: ballpark as well? Obviously a place that's hit her friendly.

881
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 2: It just made a lot of sense for both sides,

882
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 2: and he seems thrilled about it and almost at peace,

883
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 2: like relaxed about it, yep. And I hope that that

884
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 2: translates to, you know, the same level of performance that

885
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 2: we've seen from him over the years. When we come

886
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:40,239
Speaker 2: back our number two, let's talk a little bit about

887
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:42,479
Speaker 2: the Pro Bowl last night, what Joe Burrow had to say.

888
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:45,319
Speaker 2: We'll talk some other Bengals related topics as well. That'll
