1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 1: Tony Bike Cincy three sixty about Cincinnati from Cincinnati. This

2
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: is ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Dation.

3
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:12,879
Speaker 2: Welcome back, Sincy three to sixty. Let's kick off our

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 2: number three on a Friday the only way we know

5
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 2: how to do it. We'll talk some FC Cincinnati with

6
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 2: the voice of the Orange and Blue, Tom Gallader, joining

7
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,119
Speaker 2: us right now. Tommy, Tommy, Tommy, what's going on?

8
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 3: And we're back after the FEKA break and very excited

9
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 3: to see the Orange Blue back and action kicking off

10
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 3: a very busy month of April ahead.

11
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 2: Let's talk about the break itself. We talked last week

12
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 2: about the timing of the break because the team was

13
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 2: on a little bit of a skid and then they

14
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,919
Speaker 2: find their footing two shorthanded goals to get three points,

15
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 2: and you kind of wondered, is that something you want

16
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 2: to get right back onto the pitch as quick as

17
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 2: possible or does the break help this team going through

18
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 2: that break?

19
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 4: Now?

20
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 2: How do you feel it it helps or or does

21
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 2: it hurt FC Cincinnati at all?

22
00:00:58,360 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 3: You know, I think we're gonna find out in about

23
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 3: tony nine hours, right when the team takes the pitch.

24
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 5: And Harrison new Jersey against New York Red Bulls.

25
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 3: But I think I go back to what we talked

26
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 3: about last week and the break giving Pat Noon and

27
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 3: his staff the time and the opportunity to look at

28
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 3: what has worked through the first nine games across all

29
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 3: competitions and what has not, and to fix some of

30
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 3: those things and to spend time, you know, on the

31
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 3: pitch together.

32
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 5: Developing in a way.

33
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 3: They really haven't had the opportunity so far since camp

34
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 3: broke because the games have been, you know, so fast

35
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 3: and furious weekend, midweek weekend, mid week weekend, midweek, so

36
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 3: you don't have a whole lot of time to improve

37
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 3: things when that's the case. So I think this break

38
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 3: is very good. I think if you look at its

39
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 3: historically since to start at twenty twenty three, Pat Newons

40
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 3: teams have done really well coming off of FEFA break

41
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 3: nine to one and four. The only time they've lost

42
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 3: coming off fever break was that playoff loss last year

43
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 3: against Miami, So historically they've done really well with the

44
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 3: extra time, And I'll be interested to see how it

45
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 3: plays out tomorrow night.

46
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 2: When you talk about what you can fix and what

47
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 2: you know you can improve on when you look at

48
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 2: where this team is at. Are there things that jump out?

49
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 2: It's okay, this is a fix, but it's not something

50
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 2: that's going to take something, you know, completely rewriting who

51
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 2: this team is. Maybe a tweak here, a tweak there.

52
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 2: What would that look like for this club?

53
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 3: Well, I think part of it is figuring out how

54
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,239
Speaker 3: and what your best of the eleven looks like to

55
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 3: get your best eleven players on the pitch all at

56
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 3: the same time, and what tactics does it look like

57
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 3: to get that done. Another question is who is part

58
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 3: of that And Miles Robinson, who is suspended for this

59
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 3: match tomorrow, is not going to be part of the puzzle,

60
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 3: so you won't have him back and we'll wait and

61
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 3: see what the status of romanceone tunnel is. But as

62
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,679
Speaker 3: you work towards that, I think it's figuring out sure

63
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 3: would give you the best chance to win. The defense

64
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 3: has been disappointing the last three games after being fantastic

65
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 3: the first six, So I think getting back to where

66
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 3: this team has been that's been part of their identity

67
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:55,679
Speaker 3: under Patent and it is to be a really good

68
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 3: defensive team, and that starts tomorrow to get back to

69
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 3: it and stop leaking goals and the way did in

70
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 3: those last three matches. So I think it starts there

71
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 3: and then you get the attack firing and all cylinders

72
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 3: in a way that they're capable of, and that sets

73
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 3: you up for success.

74
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 2: How difficult is it over the course? Because I feel

75
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 2: like we talk about this all the time. Consistency in

76
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,399
Speaker 2: any sport is important. When you have such a long

77
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 2: season like the MLS is, and then you have international breaks,

78
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 2: you have different types of you have MLS matches, you

79
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 2: have CONCA CAF, you have all these different matches as well.

80
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 2: How difficult is it to put together consistency over a

81
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 2: long period of time. It feels like the more we

82
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 2: learn and the more we watch this, it's more about

83
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 2: how can you handle those moments of adversity and come

84
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 2: out on the other side of them.

85
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 3: One reality is that many of these teams in Major

86
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 3: League Soccer, with the base on how the calendar works

87
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 3: and how CONCAF Champions Cup slots in, not everybody participate

88
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 3: in Champions Cup of course, right, so the teams that

89
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 3: participate it, and as the calendar is now as it

90
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 3: sits early in a season for MLS team, sure MLS

91
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 3: teams are still find themselves, so that's a little bit

92
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 3: of a disadvantage. And then on top of it, it

93
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 3: creates the scheduled congestion, and historically those MLS teams have

94
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 3: struggled a little bit in the early portion of the

95
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 3: season because of the scheduled congestion and that wrinkle that's

96
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 3: throwing on them.

97
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 5: But listen, every MLS team wants to win champions Cups.

98
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 5: They're gonna go for.

99
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 3: It and throw everything at it and then try to

100
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,119
Speaker 3: make up some of the points that maybe they drop

101
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 3: in the league games at a later time. And certainly

102
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 3: mccony disappointed about the points that.

103
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 5: Were dropped and the way they were dropped.

104
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 3: But now the opportunity comes here in the month of

105
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 3: April to string together some wins and make up for

106
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 3: the points that they didn't get in the month of March.

107
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 3: So yeah, I think certainly it creates the congestion and

108
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 3: it's a different wrinkle that everybody has to deal with.

109
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 3: But the teams to qualify, it's a good thing if

110
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 3: you're involved right, that means you did something right in

111
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 3: the previous seasons. So it's certainly where you want to be.

112
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,919
Speaker 3: But it's a factor and something that the teams that

113
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 3: are involved have to manage.

114
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 2: When you talk about the month of April, how different

115
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 2: does that look just from a scheduling standpoint, Because we've

116
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 2: talked leading into March and through March about how congested

117
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 2: it does get. Does that ease now going into the

118
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 2: month of April, does it get back to a little

119
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 2: bit of a sense of normalcy?

120
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 3: It does, especially with like a regular match week build up,

121
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 3: as has been the case here and will be the

122
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 3: case the next couple of weeks. So you don't have

123
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 3: a midweek game again until the second half of the

124
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 3: month of New York City. So they're on the road

125
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 3: tomorrow against New York, then they'll be on the road

126
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 3: next week against Toronto. That's a regular week build up,

127
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 3: so they can find a bit of routine, and the

128
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 3: same thing the following week when they get ready to

129
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 3: come home for Chicago. After that match, though, you go

130
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 3: to New York City and play MIDWEK game and then

131
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 3: you welcome Red Bulls back to TQOF Stadium to round

132
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 3: out the month. But think about this, over the course

133
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 3: of April thirty days, right, I think it'd be what

134
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 3: twenty five days or something between the all the games,

135
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 3: but over the course of the whole month of April,

136
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 3: they'll play five matches in fifteen days.

137
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 5: Leading into that international.

138
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 3: Break, they played five matches, so certainly less congestion, more

139
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 3: chance to breed and to find your identity and you're

140
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 3: out who you are in twenty twenty six.

141
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 2: For this club. I know Patt Nowan talked about the

142
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 2: fight and he was happy and encouraged by the fight

143
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 2: that this team showed in their last win. How important

144
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 2: is that because it's one thing when in sports you

145
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 2: go through skids, it's easy sometimes to just kind of

146
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 2: lower your head and it's just not going our way,

147
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 2: and that's snowballs. But the fight that this team showed

148
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 2: and the last time we were able to see them,

149
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 2: how important now is that to carry that over into

150
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 2: this next match?

151
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's huge. I think you have to

152
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 3: build upon it. The good news is we'll start with

153
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,919
Speaker 3: eleven players and hopefully finish that way. Whereas in that match,

154
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 3: you know, the grit and the fight and that passion

155
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 3: that we saw a lot of it came for the

156
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 3: final thirty minutes once Miles Robinson was sent off. So no,

157
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 3: I think it's a very big piece piece of the

158
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 3: puzzle to have a little bit of pride coming out

159
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 3: of that and say, okay, we write at a ship

160
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 3: a little bit, but it wasn't perfect. Now, what did

161
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,559
Speaker 3: we work on the last two weeks to improve and

162
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 3: how does that translate against the Red Bulls team that's

163
00:06:58,480 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 3: been up and down. They had a man sent off

164
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 3: previous match as well, and they conceded six goals and

165
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 3: got thumped. So you know, Red Bulls have been up

166
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 3: and down a little bit. They're trying to find their

167
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 3: identity with the new manager. So I think, you know,

168
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 3: the reality is that you got to come out. You

169
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 3: got to pick up where you left off two weeks

170
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 3: ago and like I said, start to string some results together.

171
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 5: And put yourself in a position in the Eastern.

172
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 2: Conference from just a sheer keys to victory standpoint. We

173
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 2: hit on this each and every week ahead of a match.

174
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 2: What are your biggest keys for FC Cincinnati Tomorrow night we'll.

175
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,239
Speaker 5: Talk about Tony and the defense has to improve.

176
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 3: The last three games, way too many goals conceded, you know,

177
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 3: very very frustrating for the whole team and the coaching staff.

178
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 5: There's no question about that.

179
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 3: So I think, you know, you solidify things defensively, but

180
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 3: there's been some battles lost in the midfield. So whomever

181
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 3: pat runs out there in this match against New York,

182
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 3: and he has very talented options, it's a matter of Okay,

183
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 3: let's figure out who gives us.

184
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 5: The best chance to win those midfield battles. Because Sammy

185
00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 5: Guede is.

186
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 3: Very good of being a Wolbodoe and very good Pavel Buca.

187
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 3: You know, obviously Evander will be up top trying or

188
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 3: you know, at leading the head of the midfielders, trying

189
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 3: to set up the attack. And you could tell Evander's

190
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 3: a player right now that wants to get on track.

191
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 3: You know, MVP candidate from the last year, you know,

192
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 3: one of the best players over the last couple of

193
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 3: years in majorly soccer, and he had a slow start

194
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 3: to the year and then part.

195
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 5: Of that was due to his injury. So I think

196
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 5: getting a Vander going.

197
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 3: So if FC since can win those battles in the midfield,

198
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 3: then I think they're in a position to win.

199
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 2: I do have to ask you Andre Tirilla earlier this

200
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 2: week story becomes another homegrown player from FC Cincinnati that

201
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 2: has gone through the player pathway from the f C

202
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Academy all the way to now a contract with

203
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 2: FC Cincinnati. Talk a little bit about just the academy

204
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 2: and how that is kind of bearing fruit already for

205
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 2: FC Cincinnati.

206
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean this is in Red Bulls.

207
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 3: You know, the opponent tomorrow is as good of an

208
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 3: example in major soccer as anybody who have used their

209
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 3: academy to leverage success in bringing players through who contribute

210
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 3: to the teams behind a team like New York because

211
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:08,959
Speaker 3: they've been done as long, but they've.

212
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 5: Done a great job.

213
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 3: But Larry Sunderlynn and building the academy and then Chris

214
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 3: Albright and his staff and monitoring these guys through the

215
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 3: academy process and then getting that minutes with f c

216
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 3: Ccincinnati two. But I'll tell you, since Andre arrodn't remember

217
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 3: his older brother's Steph, he's on the first team as well,

218
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 3: and step arrived and they were excited about and then

219
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 3: it brought Andre on and everybody's raving about what Andre

220
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 3: could do as a center back. And you know, we've

221
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 3: seen some minutes from him. He came out a loan

222
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 3: from the two team four times this year. Well that's

223
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 3: the max. So then you know, the reality is that

224
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 3: they want to play him again, he has to be

225
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 3: on his homegrown deal and a first team contract, So

226
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 3: now that's the case. But this is a guy that

227
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 3: I think FC Cincinnati fans should be keeping an eye

228
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 3: on and should be really really excited to watch grow

229
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 3: in the future. Just seventeen years old and has a

230
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 3: very very high ceiling. Certainly someone who should be a

231
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 3: starter for year and a big part of this team's success.

232
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 6: Do you have.

233
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 2: Anything set for when you touch down in New York

234
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 2: that you'll you'll cross off the list tonight?

235
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 3: I mean, this is as routine of a trip as

236
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 3: they come.

237
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 5: And Kevin and I.

238
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 3: Oh, by the way, big milestone tomorrow for our boy

239
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 3: with Kevo oh match day number three hundred for time. Wow,

240
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 3: I got to go get a cake or something for

241
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 3: him having a booth. So there's a great bakery there

242
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 3: near where we stay. We I mean, we've been there

243
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 3: so many times for matches. This is the twenty first

244
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 3: time including USL that these teams have played each other,

245
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 3: so they've seen each other quite a bit. I think

246
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,719
Speaker 3: it's a fifteenth time with all the games that ever

247
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 3: since I he's played at at Red Bull Arena because

248
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,439
Speaker 3: they played New York City there a few times, and

249
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 3: they played I think Montreal there during the during COVID,

250
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,319
Speaker 3: so yeah, or Toronto maybe one of those teams either way.

251
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, we've been there quite a bit. We know, we

252
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:58,199
Speaker 5: know the neighborhood well.

253
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 3: And let me tell you, I just got email right

254
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 3: before we came on as we get ready to leave,

255
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 3: just coincidentally from the bagel shop. You know bagels out

256
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 3: in New York and New Yority're a little different, right

257
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 3: sending me their new menu items.

258
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 5: Like you think that's a coincidence. I go there every time.

259
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 3: There'll be pictures on my social media that O bagel

260
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 3: over there in hobook and is my spot, so I'll

261
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 3: always stop in it. Maybe I'll grab a few extra

262
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 3: up and by the house when I get home off

263
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 3: the charter on Saturday night Sunday morning, especially for you,

264
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 3: you little Eastern egg, I can leave out front for.

265
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 2: Especially coming off ideally three more points before I let

266
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 2: you go. The Guardians off to a good start, sitting

267
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 2: on top of the division at four and three, and

268
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 2: the Browns we got a little quarterback controversy. Bruin sa

269
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 2: Door Sanders is gonna wear number two, Deshaun Watson maybe

270
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 2: the starting quarterback. What do you think plays out now

271
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 2: with your Cleveland Browns at the quarterback position?

272
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 3: First and foremost, We're two hours away from opening day

273
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 3: in Cleveland and the Guardians come.

274
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 5: Off a rit.

275
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 3: I mean, look, you play Seattle and the Dodger's pretty

276
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 3: good and you come home four and three. You gotta

277
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 3: be feeling pretty good about that Chase. The Laud's been hot,

278
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 3: so that's awesome. Listen, Bill Browns, No Browns fair.

279
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 5: That's fair.

280
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 2: I like that A very down the middle answer as

281
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 2: to Deshaun Watson or Shador Sanders. Tommy g I know

Speaker 4: spring golf and with the golf team, our boys are

298
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:01,400

299
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 4: the fifty first place in the nation, so hopefully it'll

300
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 4: continue that way.

301
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,199
Speaker 2: So truly, no off season for Bob Manjean, Is that

302
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 2: what you're telling me?

303
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 4: Pretty much? You know, there's just no off season anymore.

304
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 4: You have to deal with, you know, different sports at

305
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 4: different times a year obviously, you know, the basketballs in

306
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 4: footballs now.

307
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 5: Go year round.

308
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 4: Now the golfs and the other Olympic sports, they'll have

309
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 4: their summer seasons off pretty much when school's over. But still,

310
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 4: the roles in the NCAAM have changed so much since

311
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 4: two thousand and four, you just never knows he's going

312
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 4: to be back here by June or July to start

313
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 4: summer conditioning and training.

314
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 2: Also, before we get into our topic today, I know

315
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 2: that the transfer portal window for basketball opens on April seventh,

316
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 2: how hectic does that time get for you? If guys

317
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 2: are coming in or visiting and you're making sure that

318
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,199
Speaker 2: they're got the clean bill of health. What does that

319
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 2: look like for you when that portal does open.

320
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 4: Well, the portal you're already looking You're I mean, obviously

321
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 4: there's a lot of of you know, general managers around

322
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 4: the country for the different teams are already talking to agents.

323
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 4: You know, before the official start of the portal. You're

324
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 4: getting somebody Yeah, as far as you know who who

325
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 4: you might be looking at. So you're trying to get

326
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 4: some information on those kids. Once the portal officially hits,

327
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 4: and obviously the kids are in there and registered for

328
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 4: the portal, so now you can get better information. And again,

329
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 4: like our guys when they come to me and say, hey,

330
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 4: I think I'm going to transfer, and it's like, okay,

331
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 4: sign this release of information. Do what do you want

332
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 4: me to release? You not want me to release? But

333
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 4: you know, again, it's it follows every other hip of guideline,

334
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 4: you know. So it's not like I can just pick

335
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 4: up the phone and say, oh, so and so did this,

336
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 4: or so and so I did that. You know, if

337
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 4: they don't agree for just closure, I just sit here

338
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 4: and say nothing I.

339
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 2: Want to ask, because we could have just kind of

340
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 2: re ran what we talked about last week with blisters

341
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 2: because Nicolodolo is struggling with them again. But I thought

342
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 2: some other national news right now is the news of

343
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 2: what Tiger Woods is going through. And look, I'm on

344
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 2: a smaller version of this because I've gone through many surgeries,

345
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 2: and when surgeries happened, the amount of pain that you're

346
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 2: in is immense and oftentimes unbearable, and even to get

347
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 2: through a sporting event at times can become a big challenge.

348
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 2: So I understand the pain side of things and that

349
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 2: there's a threshold and sometimes the pain exceeds that threshold,

350
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 2: and that's where painkillers can come into the equation. I

351
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 2: can't imagine in your world how difficult that is is

352
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 2: monitoring and when a player is deemed to be fit

353
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 2: to be off of the painkillers. Just walk me through

354
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 2: the process of athletes when you do have to prescribe

355
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 2: painkillers and how you're keeping an.

356
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 5: Eye on that.

357
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 4: Well. I mean, simply put, the FDA has really, as

358
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 4: everybody knows by social media and the media itself, the

359
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 4: FDA has really clamped down on the use of narcopics.

360
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 4: So let's classify one group as narcotics and those percosets

361
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 4: and those type of medications. And there's many institutions now

362
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 4: and physicians.

363
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 5: Who no longer go to that level.

364
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 4: So there's other combinations that can be used which are

365
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 4: non narcotic or lower level of narcotics, so that post surgery,

366
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 4: obviously we watch them very carefully, but a lot of

367
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 4: our docs have gone to some different regiments that aren't

368
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 4: in that family of the percosets, hydrocoding and things like that.

369
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 4: But if you are prescribed those, I mean, it's usually

370
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 4: a big warning on the bottle, do not drive. It

371
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 4: may cause drowsiness, may do this, may do that. So

372
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,360
Speaker 4: you know, we assist our student athletes to making sure

373
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 4: that they're managing whatever our physicians give them, to make

374
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 4: sure that they don't put themselves in a situation. And certainly,

375
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 4: and you're reading some of these cases, especially in you know,

376
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 4: the opera alcohol the adult athlete you know, PGA, NFL,

377
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,199
Speaker 4: NBA career, they will be like, well, you know, they

378
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 4: not just had a narcotic in their system, but had

379
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 4: alcohol or they had some other substance anytime you start

380
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 4: mixing products, you're asking for nothing but problems. And of

381
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 4: course none of us really know what was in you know,

382
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 4: his system, because we're going to keep that HIPOC compliant

383
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 4: and pretty well hushed. But again, you know, people need

384
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 4: to get tuned into the fact that, you know, the

385
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 4: side effects of narcotics are just opioids are just so

386
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 4: bad that you know, you've got to come up with

387
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 4: a different pain management strategy. And if you do go

388
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 4: on them, then you have to have somebody really watching them,

389
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 4: you know, not just hey, here's a bottle, and you've

390
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 4: been through it with us to where you know, we

391
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 4: help you guide your way through it. And as soon

392
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 4: as we get to day X, hey let's just go

393
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 4: to extra strength tithanol, or let's go to motrin, or

394
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 4: let's go to this and even those medications time and

395
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 4: all interesting studies several years back that if you take

396
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 4: twelve time in all day greater than eleven days, you

397
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 4: can start to see liver changes. If you take motrin

398
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 4: in an eight hundred level motron for more than you know,

399
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 4: ten days, eleven days, fourteen days, you can start to

400
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 4: see change in your gastric system. And you know, I

401
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 4: have got my share of horror stories of athletes who

402
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 4: won't follow our direction and we'll give them a certain medication,

403
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 4: but oh lo and behold, they're going to go over

404
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,239
Speaker 4: to Kroger and buy a big old bottle of two

405
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 4: hundred and fifty milligram motrin and stop start popping you know,

406
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 4: six seven eight motron a day, and so it's going

407
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 4: to blow your stomach out. And then the next thing

408
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 4: you know, you know, you're losing twenty pounds, you know,

409
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,880
Speaker 4: feeling well, your stomach is you know, literally got ulcers,

410
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 4: so you know, and it's all over the news. You know,

411
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:31,120
Speaker 4: the number of people who have issues with the pain

412
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,959
Speaker 4: medications after surgery in a lot of positions have finally said, hey,

413
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 4: enough's enough. You know, here, we'll give you this, you know,

414
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 4: we'll give you ask and why and that combination you

415
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,719
Speaker 4: know should work, you know, And it's like in how

416
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 4: many times you know, we would offer an athlete if

417
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,640
Speaker 4: they needed some sort of pain suppression on game day,

418
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,880
Speaker 4: you know, combine that with the emotion, with some time at.

419
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 5: All, and you know that's it.

420
00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 4: No more, I'm a narcotic because you can't risk that,

421
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 4: especially during a game that should never ever happen in

422
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 4: our industry, because, like I said, the f Game multiple

423
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 4: years ago has really come down on the use of

424
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:19,120
Speaker 4: opioids narcotic type medications during participation because it's it's way

425
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 4: too risky.

426
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 2: How do you go about if if there is an

427
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 2: athlete that that you can tell that is now past

428
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 2: that point of should be taking them and perhaps still

429
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 2: is and and I know it's it's obviously not easy,

430
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,479
Speaker 2: because addiction is not easy, But what are the steps

431
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 2: that that would you would take if you're kind of

432
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 2: over that threshold with an athlete and you know they're

433
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 2: still using those those painkillers, what what kind of steps

434
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 2: do you have to take after that?

435
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:53,640
Speaker 4: Well, that's where you know, athletic trainers are valuable in college,

436
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 4: high school level, and professional level because we hopefully know

437
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 4: pretty much what the athletes are taking and if we

438
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 4: see a situation to where we feel like it's being

439
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 4: used in an excessive amount, we're going to sit down

440
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 4: with the team physicians, orthopedic primary care and we're going

441
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 4: to say, look, you know, here's a strategy we need

442
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 4: to get off of this. We need to do that.

443
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 4: We have used psychologists in the past, we have used

444
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 4: pain management physicians in the past, you know, and again

445
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,959
Speaker 4: you're trying to have a team approach of people who

446
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,360
Speaker 4: can help this person, you know, lean off of them,

447
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 4: or get an understanding of here are other options. Let's

448
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 4: keep a close eye on it and try these other options.

449
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,360
Speaker 4: So I think you're not just going to have one

450
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 4: person say hey, you've got to be done, this is it,

451
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 4: it's over. You've got to have the whole team there,

452
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 4: you know, wherever they're I mean, if it's cecil therapists involved,

453
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 4: and you have a cycil therapist out, a trainer, the

454
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 4: primary care team physician, the orthopedic surgeon, the team's counselor

455
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 4: so that everybody together is pulling the boat in the

456
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 4: right direction and helping this person to get off them.

457
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 4: Because the reason they get hooked on them is because

458
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 4: one we're asking to play sports. Sports is an industry

459
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,120
Speaker 4: where you are going to get hurt, and then how

460
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 4: do we continue to have you participate unsurgical while you're

461
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 4: still on your going some low levels of pain or

462
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 4: medium levels of pain. And I know there's a lot

463
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 4: of people out there saying, well, they shouldn't be playing

464
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,959
Speaker 4: at all when there's kids who don't even tell us

465
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 4: what they're feeling or what they're like, and so we're

466
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 4: sometimes not sometimes most of the time we're at the

467
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 4: mercy of the athlete telling us exactly what's going on.

468
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 4: And of course we can do blood work. We've done

469
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 4: that blood work just to make sure what the levels are,

470
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 4: what your kidneys are, what your liver is and I

471
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 4: tend to be a little more aggressive with that in

472
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,479
Speaker 4: terms of if I feel one of my student athletes are,

473
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 4: you know, maybe using something a little more than I

474
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 4: want them to, we can get the blood where I

475
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 4: can check different levels within the blood, the kidney system,

476
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 4: liver system, and make sure that they're not causing themselves

477
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,360
Speaker 4: to have a problem. And I'm also not one to say, hey, look,

478
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 4: if we can't manage this, you're done playing until we

479
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 4: all come to a plan that allows you to participate

480
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 4: without any of this, you know. And again that's one

481
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 4: of the dangers of playing sports is you're going to

482
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 4: get hurt, and when you get hurt, you're going to

483
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 4: look for methods of relieving my quote unquote pain that

484
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 4: yet still compete. And it's finny, Tony, it's not just

485
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,199
Speaker 4: the professional athlete, the college athlete. I had a patient

486
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 4: come in two weeks ago. Well, I'm playing pickleball. You know,

487
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 4: everybody's playing pickaball. I love pickleball. It's making me more

488
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 4: patients than anything in the world right now. And the

489
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 4: bottom line is, you know, well, my foot's been hurt

490
00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 4: and so I've just been loaned up on time and all.

491
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 4: And it's a way mine. Let's call doctor X and

492
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 4: you get an X range. Sure enough, you broke your foot. Ye,

493
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 4: So you can take all the time and all you want.

494
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 4: And you've been trying to play through it for three weeks.

495
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 4: And the bottom line is, it's not just professional athletes

496
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 4: through the college athletes. It's the day to day recreational

497
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 4: athlete who want to treat themselves and start taking stuff

498
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 4: and then the next thing, you know, they never get

499
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 4: it diagnosed right, and now it becomes a pretty big

500
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 4: problem for him.

501
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 2: That too, like and to me, there's such a fine

502
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,880
Speaker 2: line because it's one thing, Okay, you have a surgery,

503
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 2: you kind of have a roadmap of when that pain

504
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 2: is going to last. The hard part for me is

505
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 2: playing through pain for a lot of players, because there

506
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 2: are players and you know that's very well, you know,

507
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 2: there are players that don't want to diagnose an injury

508
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 2: or don't want to diagnose a concussion because that would

509
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 2: mean they're going to lose their spot while they're recovering

510
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 2: and they may never get that spot back. So how

511
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 2: difficult is that line to walk of player wants to play,

512
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 2: he needs something to get through the pain to play,

513
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 2: and you don't want to put them at risk for

514
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 2: a greater injury versus, yes, we can give something to

515
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 2: alleviate some of the pain or block some of the

516
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 2: pain until a certain amount of time. How hard is

517
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 2: that line to navigate because all of these athletes want

518
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,479
Speaker 2: to go out there and compete, and you want them

519
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 2: to be open with you about how they feel. But

520
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 2: at the same time, you don't want them to just

521
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 2: the clure to hide something because it could mean less

522
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 2: playing time.

523
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 4: That's a really fine line. And you know, number one

524
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 4: thing we say in healthcare, especially in athletics, really throughout

525
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 4: every level of athletics is, you know, do not do

526
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 4: more harm. So the bottom line is, if I've got

527
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,919
Speaker 4: an athlete who, let's say, has a very minor injury

528
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 4: and they just need a little bit of help getting

529
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 4: through it, there are options that's a low level, you know,

530
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 4: lower level type of medications. Once it gets to the

531
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 4: point where, hey, if we let you play today, sure

532
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 4: and give you this medication, but you know we're now

533
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 4: going to risk making it worse. So and again not

534
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 4: to be you know, idealistic about it. You know, we

535
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 4: never want anybody to play with pain per se. But

536
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 4: we know that that's not the case. So you have

537
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 4: to work with your physicians. You have to work with

538
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,640
Speaker 4: the athlete and say what's the safest medication to give

539
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 4: to allow them to feel comfortable to participate. But the

540
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 4: athlete is part of that equation, a major part of

541
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 4: that equation because they might to me, like you said,

542
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 4: you know, I mean, let's be honest, I love you

543
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 4: to death. You're one of the toughest quarterbacks we had here,

544
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 4: and you'd get on my butt if I if myself

545
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 4: or Colismo didn't find a way to get you in

546
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 4: the game. And there were things that we helped you

547
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,239
Speaker 4: with to get through it. And again here you are,

548
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 4: how many years later, being a successful radio broadcaster, and

549
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 4: we didn't no harm in the long run. So you

550
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 4: know that's what we have to see it and do,

551
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 4: is we have to look at what is the injury?

552
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 4: How can we participate? What would you like us to do, athlete?

553
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 4: And then hey, here are options? What level do you

554
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 4: want to try? But during the game, what do you

555
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 4: think I'm doing? I mean, how many times you and

556
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 4: I have conferences conversations on the field with hey, how

557
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 4: one today? Are you so okay?

558
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 5: Can you do this? Can you do that?

559
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 4: You know, you and I remember that South Florida game,

560
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 4: and you know the bottom line is, you know, you

561
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 4: ended up having another injury. But the bottom line is,

562
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 4: at the end of the day, in the long run,

563
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 4: you did just fine. It's just you know, there's always

564
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 4: what's my favorite other saying in athletics, my job is

565
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 4: to fix you up for you to go out and

566
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 4: do it again.

567
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:44,919
Speaker 5: Yep, okay, So.

568
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 4: But again, our number one point is we want to

569
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,919
Speaker 4: find a way to put the athletes on the field

570
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 4: on the court successfully obviously having them participate in the

571
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 4: decision making, but do no harm.

572
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 2: Bob men the University of Cincinnati and novacare you're the best. Bob,

573

Speaker 2: visit oh al dash Law dot com. Obviously, the big

594
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 2: injury news here is that if Nick Lodolo left his

595
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 2: first rehab start yesterday due to a flare up of

596
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 2: the blister on his left index finger. After retiring his

597
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 2: first eight batters on forty pitchers, striking out four, he

598
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 2: exited the game with two outs in the third inning,

599
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 2: and as Charlie Goldsmith told us earlier today, Austin, he's

600
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 2: gonna go to Texas and they're gonna meet and everything's

601
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 2: on the table.

602
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, Lodolo is in Texas and has already talked to

603
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 5: the media, Charlie just a few minutes ago saying that

604
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 5: Lodolo feels very frustrated, and he said he has tried

605
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 5: every known remedy and we'll keep experimenting. He has to

606
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 5: be able to compete at this level, and not being

607
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 5: able to spin your slider impacts that he hopes to

608
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 5: play catch in the next day or two.

609
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 2: Okay, So.

610
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 5: I don't know. I wish I understood more about you know,

611
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 5: why are you playing catch?

612
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 4: Right?

613
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 2: Let's just shut it down for a couple of days.

614
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 5: I don't understand that.

615
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 2: I guess maybe in catch you doesn't need to cut

616
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 2: off that breaking.

617
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,479
Speaker 5: Ball at all. I guess keep the arm loose, keep

618
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 5: the shoulder and the elbow all.

619
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 2: Right, Yep, that is today's O'Connor and Shotty and Levy

620
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 2: injury report. We run through a couple more of these,

621
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 2: uh draft comparisons. Let me just give you a list

622
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 2: of NFL players, and you tell me which of these

623
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 2: players you would insert on today's Bengals roster to make

624
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 2: them better?

625
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:50,600

Speaker 2: these names and tell me who makes the Bengals better

630
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 2: or the best right now? Reggie Bush, I'm and Ross

631
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 2: Saint Brown yes, Cooper Cup yes, Vernon Davis yes, Darnell right,

632
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 2: Nick Benito yes, Abdull Carter yes, Fred Warner yes, Christian

633
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:21,520

634
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 2: one of those players would you rather? Would you want

635
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 2: the most?

636
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 5: Probably? Nick Benito?

637
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 2: Okay? Nick Benito's comparison in this year's draft, r vel

638
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 2: Reese al, I'm sorry, not r vel Reese. David Bailey.

639
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 2: R vel Reese has comped to Abdul Carter. Not bad.

640
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 5: I would say more Micah Parsons, but okay.

641
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 2: Sonny Styles, Fred Warner, yeah please, Jamal McCoy is Christian Gonzales,

642
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 2: all right? Mansor Delaine is Trent McDuffie. So you're calling

643
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 2: him Delaine today?

644
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 5: Yep.

645
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 2: I've went back after listening to others. Francis Maluiino, you

646
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 2: can finally take coaching. Francis Maliinoa. Darnell right, yeah, darnelt right,

647
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 2: That's that's an interesting one. He's he's okay, he's fine.

648
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 2: And I feel like from a Bengals perspective, you'd ask

649
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 2: me you can have Darnell right. I guess I would

650
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 2: say yes, just because of the youth and the upside.

651
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 2: I don't know though, left tackle right not right tackle? Yea, yeah,

652
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 2: what about uh? I'm in Ross Saint Brown and mackay

653
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 2: Lemon Beast, Cooper Cup and Carnell Tate, and then of

654
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 2: course Jeremiah Love is Reggie Bush. I mean, those are

655
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 2: some really, that's what he is like, Those are some.

656
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 2: Those are some serious comparisons to put on these first rounders.

657
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 5: Well, I mean they don't they don't necessarily do comparisons

658
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:43,479
Speaker 5: to guys like you know, mid level dudes.

659
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 2: Imagine like all due respect, imagine like Jeremiah Love, who's

660
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 2: like a mid level running.

661
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 5: Back, like your player comp is, Yeah, this player man

662
00:32:54,800 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 5: Kenneth Gainwell, Okay, cool, you don't really say, hey, you

663
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 5: know this guy reminds me of Joe Giles Harris.

664
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 2: It doesn't happen very often. I would take any of

665
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 2: these player comparisons in a hard.

666
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 5: And see stead let's compare him to a Hall of Famer. Yeah,

667
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 5: let me just throw Nick Benito out there. Davis is

668
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 5: a little bit of that, like he was. Yeah, he

669
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 5: had some elite years, but I mean sure, I think

670
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 5: I think Kansas City should go get him. Kenyon Sadik cool,

671
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 5: go get him Kansas City and maybe the Bengals.

672
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 2: Now, what I did like about Charlie earlier is he

673
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 2: he seemed a little bit open to the idea of

674
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 2: moving up in the draft. We should all be open

675
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 2: to it everyone, You're right, we should, yes, especially down

676
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:40,360

702
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 6: in the house. Wes is doing some interviews. He very

703
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:59,320
Speaker 6: politely declined to come on the air. Oh, but I

704
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 6: talked with him for about five minutes and it was

705
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 6: it was nice to see him.

706
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 5: How's he doing? Did you ask him if he's heard

707
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 5: from North Carolina today?

708
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:09,280
Speaker 6: I did not ask him that. He was very cordial.

709
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,399
Speaker 6: He was very nice. He was very complimentary to your

710
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 6: show and mine wowow, and said that we treated him

711
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 6: fairly okay, and said I'm rooting for you, Wes so y.

712
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 2: It was we're all forty nine fans here, We're all

713
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 2: forty nine er fans.

714
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 6: So he walked away. I made a vow to myself

715
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 6: last year that in like the second half of my life,

716
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 6: or maybe the final third of my life, whatever it is,

717
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,840
Speaker 6: I'm gonna be like, I'm going to be more shameless, okay,

718
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,320
Speaker 6: because the people that I know who seem to have

719
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 6: gotten ahead are you know, they're they're shameless about asking

720
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 6: for stuff. So, like, I want to go to the

721
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 6: games tomorrow, and so you have all these coaches around,

722
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:53,800
Speaker 6: and I figured, like I'm gonna start asking him, like

723
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 6: can I have your tickets?

724
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 2: Nice?

725
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 6: Could I have your final four tickets? Because I I

726
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:00,799
Speaker 6: think these games tomorrow night are to be awesome. Yeah,

727
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 6: everybody's excited to go, So every coach gets tickets. I

728
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 6: thought I would ask for tickets because there's like you

729
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 6: can't turn around without running into a basketball coach, yea,

730
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,320
Speaker 6: or I would ask, you know, will you send me

731
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:17,359
Speaker 6: some gear? And so there's Wes who I'm sure has

732
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 6: no use for all his you see gear, and I

733
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:21,360
Speaker 6: just let him walk away without asking.

734
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 2: Wow, so you're over one.

735
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 5: I did see a post on social media that somebody

736
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 5: went to a good will and found a lot of

737
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 5: his gear. Really, yeash, I don't know if it's true.

738
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:34,919
Speaker 2: What are we doing?

739
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:38,720
Speaker 5: But it appeared to be stuff that was Wes Miller's.

740
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 6: Well, he don't loved to go. He had some obligation

741
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:45,840
Speaker 6: at the convention. And maybe I'll see if I can

742
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 6: run him down and just ask for either his tickets

743
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 6: to the game, yeah tomorrow, the two games tomorrow, or

744
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:53,919
Speaker 6: if I can get my hands on some of his gear.

745
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 2: Now, outside of your running with Wes Miller, do you

746
00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 2: have anyone else scheduled between three and six o'clock to

747
00:36:59,640 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 2: join you?

748
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 6: Jared Calhoun's going to be here.

749
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 5: How about this?

750
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 4: Now?

751
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:05,879
Speaker 6: Do I ask him his tickets or for some gear?

752
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 2: Well, he should be on the recruiting trail anyway, so

753
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 2: he shouldn't spend time at the game.

754
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,799
Speaker 6: Well, I don't get right like these coaches, they'll they'll say,

755
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 6: like I get tickets, I don't go. I'm not going

756
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 6: to the final four lists. I'm coaching in it. So

757
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 6: what do they can't sell them? So surely one of

758
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 6: these coaches has I just I need one. I'm here

759
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 6: by myself. If they give tickets to you, can you

760
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 6: sell them? I could? I could so I don't have

Speaker 6: Would he throw some Ohio State stuff in the mail?

771
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 5: I'm excited that you get to talk about Bruce Thornton.

Speaker 6: Thornton was here and I missed him, and you.

779
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 2: Should ask him. You should ask Deeves about maybe upgrading

780
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 2: the uh the end of game plays with four seconds

781
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 2: on the clock. I'm getting maybe some better looks. Yeah,

782
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 2: that'd be a good question. Now, among all the craziness,

783
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 2: do you think anywhere in attendance you'll find some blister experts?

784
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 6: You know it's funny because I was sitting in the

785
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 6: hotel room this morning kind of jotting down some ideas

786
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 6: for next week, and I wrote down skincare expert. I

787
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 6: found a video, and I don't know if you guys

788
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,760
Speaker 6: have used this. I found a video from twenty sixteen

789
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,839
Speaker 6: of Al Lighter, who famously threw the two hitch shut

790
00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 6: out against the Mets in the ninety nine Game one

791
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 6: sixty three. And there's an eight minute video of him,

792
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 6: and I haven't had time to watch it, an eight

793
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 6: minute video of him providing advice on how he used

794
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 6: to deal with blisters. So I may, by the way,

795
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,360
Speaker 6: are we now calling Nick Lodola mister blister?

796
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 5: I think so, okay, still naturally moist at the moment,

797
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 5: so I might see.

798
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 6: If I can mind this al lighter video for content,

799
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:32,360
Speaker 6: but also I'll send it to Nick Lodolo so he could.

800
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 2: And maybe nmedy for his blister issues. Reach out to

801
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 2: Alan see how the Reds can best attack Jack later

802
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:38,800
Speaker 2: this weekend.

803
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 6: Maybe that's a good call.

804
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,879
Speaker 2: With Nick Loodolo and the uncertainty and really everything being

805
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:47,359
Speaker 2: on the table here, you want to make a call

806
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 2: to Trevor Bauer because he's back in the news. He's

807
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:51,760
Speaker 2: gonna pitch in the minors.

808
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:59,919
Speaker 6: So many aren't gonna like this. Compare Colin Kaepernick left

809
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 6: the NFL at the end of the twenty sixteen season,

810
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:07,479
Speaker 6: and in the first couple of years after he left,

811
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 6: there were very good arguments that he could still help

812
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 6: a team. You know, say, what do you want about

813
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 6: his stance that he took the kneeling like it was

814
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 6: impossible to really convince anybody then that he's not one

815
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 6: of the sixty four best human beings to play quarterback

816
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:28,360
Speaker 6: on the planet. But with the passage of time, you

817
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 6: stopped looking at him as a viable option because it

818
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 6: had been so long since he had played, and so

819
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:34,839
Speaker 6: even if you had no issue with what he had done,

820
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 6: it was just hard from a football perspective to go,

821
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,319
Speaker 6: you know what, this guy who hasn't played in five

822
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 6: or six years is going to help our team. I

823
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:44,879
Speaker 6: feel the same way about Trevor Bauer. Trevor Bauer last

824
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 6: pitched in a big league game in twenty twenty one.

825
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 6: That is forever ago. He's in his mid thirties. He

826
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:54,280
Speaker 6: may do something with the Long Island Ducks that compels

827
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,799
Speaker 6: someone to believe that he can get major league hitters out.

828
00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 6: I'm skeptical that he could do that.

829
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 4: Now.

830
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 6: It's less of a conversation about what he did and

831
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,400
Speaker 6: what may or may not have happened to him, depending

832
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:08,840
Speaker 6: on your perspective, and to me, it's more of a

833
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,799
Speaker 6: discussion about his age and how long it's been since

834
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 6: he's actually pitched in a big league game.

835
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 5: Yeah.

836
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:17,239
Speaker 2: The folks at speaking of Jared Calhoun, the folks at

837
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:22,719
Speaker 2: Bearcat Journal have uncovered his contract with the Cincinnati Bearcats.

838
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,320
Speaker 2: Listen to this mo. The contract includes ticket benefits for

839
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 2: men's and women's basketball, football Final four?

840
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 6: How about the final four?

841
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 2: Nothing in there about that? A relocation stipend, a monthly

842
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:34,400
Speaker 2: vehicle stipend, and a membership at a local country club.

843
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 2: Is there anything else you would have added if you

844
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:44,840
Speaker 2: were Jared Calhoun, I don't know. I mean the country

845
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 2: club and the vehicle stipend. That's big time stuff there.

846
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 6: Vehicle stipends, big country club, I guess is cool. If

847
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 6: you're him, are you really playing like shot COMMUNI courses?

848
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 6: So I get it, you're the head coach of a

849
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:00,120
Speaker 6: big twelve team. You know you're not schlepping out to

850
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:05,279
Speaker 6: Twin Oaks or Newman or you know those Oh I'm

851
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 6: a public corse guys. I don't know. I don't know

852
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:11,359
Speaker 6: what else there would be, Like how much vacation does

853
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 6: he get?

854
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:12,400
Speaker 2: A good question?

855
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 5: What I don't understand is like do they really have

856
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 5: time to use a membership a country club membership? Well,

857
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 5: the thing is like is they work really hard? As

858
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 5: you know?

859
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 6: Of course, I'm sure he has to play a lot

860
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:26,879
Speaker 6: of golf with people who can fund the program. True,

861
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:29,880
Speaker 6: but like those level of people, aren't you playing at

862
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 6: whatever course you want?

863
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 2: And then maybe you know you can maybe the kids

864
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 2: and the wife. Maybe that's good for the country club.

865
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:36,320
Speaker 2: They can go to the pool and stuff like that.

866
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 6: Country clubs like you have to like spend a minimum

867
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 6: amount of money to like eat and stuff like that. Right,

868
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 6: I'm not I don't know anything about the country club life.

869
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 6: That's just not something that I that resonates with me.

870
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 6: I would wonder about the how much vacation does he get?

871
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:52,279
Speaker 5: Good point?

872
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 6: You're there before we let you go, let me ask

873
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 6: you this, And I guess the guys at Bearcat Journal

874
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 6: have looked into this. What bonuses are in place for

875
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 6: postseason because remember that was a big deal with John

876
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 6: Brann and there was no bonus for winning a tournament game.

877
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:08,879
Speaker 6: There was a bonus for winning two tournament games. Off

878
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 6: the top of my head, I don't know what point

879
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:11,680
Speaker 6: I could have asked him.

880
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 2: We have to look at that before we let you go.

881
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 2: Who do you like tomorrow?

882
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:16,560
Speaker 5: Now?

883
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:20,880
Speaker 6: I like Illinois, man, and I've talked about this on

884
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 6: this show and ran it past a couple of people

885
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,400
Speaker 6: we had yesterday. I love how they out Houston Houston,

886
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 6: and that was sort of the last question about them,

887
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 6: Like can they defend at a really high level? And

888
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 6: I think playing Iowa and Yukon are sort of similar,

889
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 6: though I think Yukon's better and I like what Illinois

890
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 6: did to them in the second half. I think Illinois

891
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 6: is going to play Michigan. No result in that second

892
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 6: game is going to surprise anybody, I guess, aside from

893
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 6: a blowout. But I thought Michigan was going to win

894
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:49,320
Speaker 6: this thing at the outset. I still believe they do.

895
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 2: Don't forget Wes Miller beat that team in a scrimmage.

896
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 2: That's true, So don't forget that.

897
00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:57,360
Speaker 7: No.

898
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 6: I wish I could get ask about some of that

899
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 6: gear YEP and the Michigan game and is tickets and

900
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:04,800
Speaker 6: how to beat the Wolverine.

901
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 2: Good luck on your ticket hunt and have a great show.

902
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 2: MO would appreciate it. Having good weekend week That is Moegar.
