Speaker 1: Dondio. Super Bowl sixties all set. You got the Patriots
Speaker 1: back again, you got the Seattle Seahawks back again. The
Speaker 1: Bengals are not back again. The Bengals. It's been five
Speaker 1: years since our Bengals went to the Super Bowl, and
Speaker 1: Nick Lache has had enough. He just dropped this song
Speaker 1: on social This is Brown in the name of Joe Barrow.
Speaker 1: Won should take your bends and go selling my brown,
Speaker 1: sell my crown on the phone, say well, damn damn Lache,
Speaker 1: that's baby making music. That's not a distract. That's baby
Speaker 1: making music.
Speaker 2: You got there, Well, maybe we killed two birds of one.
Speaker 2: Don make some babies and pissing people off. Wow?
Speaker 1: That there you go. Well, wow, how did I How
Speaker 1: did I come into the storm?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 1: It was because the Bengals suck. That's how you were born.
Speaker 1: That's how.
Speaker 2: Hey, something something good should come out of them at
Speaker 2: this point.
Speaker 1: What's going on? Where are you right now? You're out
Speaker 1: in La.
Speaker 2: I'm out in La, Okay.
Speaker 1: So you're smart because it's too damn cold to come
Speaker 1: here and do this live right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm talking to my my family back back east
Speaker 2: and it is absolutely freezing cold. So yeah, I'm not
Speaker 2: I'm not jellings.
Speaker 1: Yeah, missing, we're jealous here. We got snow today too.
Speaker 1: So how they hell? Nick Lache, how did you become
Speaker 1: the de facto voice of a long abused Bengals fan?
Speaker 1: How did this happen?
Speaker 2: I'm a long abused Banks fan. You know. It's it's
Speaker 2: been I guess, about forty five years since I first
Speaker 2: started watching the Bengals, and I've been on the same
Speaker 2: you know, roller coaster that everyone else in that city has,
Speaker 2: and man, I don't know, it just felt like enough's enough.
Speaker 2: It's it's uh, you know, we've been so beat down
Speaker 2: in the fan base, and I feel like at this point,
Speaker 2: most people they're just like, well, I guess that's just
Speaker 2: the way it's going to be for my life, and
Speaker 2: we'll get them next year. And I just I feel
Speaker 2: like it doesn't have to be that way, you know,
Speaker 2: And I think people have started to lose hope, and
Speaker 2: even worse, I feel like eventually the players start to
Speaker 2: lose hope, and you get you get the Carson Palmer
Speaker 2: situation where players, you know, just want out. It's just
Speaker 2: it doesn't have to be that way. And and so
Speaker 2: I just was trying to find a fun, kind of
Speaker 2: interesting way to express all that dissatisfaction. And I love
Speaker 2: writing writing music, It's what I do obviously, so figured
Speaker 2: this is a good way to kind of get my
Speaker 2: get my feelings out. Brick cathartic on it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, therapy, Yeah, you have an opportunity that most of
Speaker 1: us don't. All right, So it's not the first time.
Speaker 1: I mean, I've been around long enough to remember the
Speaker 1: nineties and that that dire straight when fans were showing
Speaker 1: up to games with bags of their heads asking Mike
Speaker 1: to sell the team. Then what's changed in those last
Speaker 1: thirty years?
Speaker 2: Nothing? Nothing's changed. I mean I think every now and then,
Speaker 2: and I said this in my in my post a
Speaker 2: few weeks back, when you know, when they announced they
Speaker 2: weren't making any changes to any of the personnel, to
Speaker 2: the coaching staff, to you know, Duke Tobin was coming back.
Speaker 2: I mean, I said, this is ridiculous. We have totally
Speaker 2: accepted losing, and our ownership is not interested in winning.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think it's just purely what bigger sample
Speaker 2: size do we need at this point than you know,
Speaker 2: the thirty five years that he's run this team. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's absolutely we've had eight winning seasons, eight in thirty
Speaker 2: five years. Yep, I mean you can it's just dumb luck.
Speaker 2: And I said that, I said, every now and then
Speaker 2: we catch finding in a bottle, might make a super Bowl,
Speaker 2: might win a playoff game, and it keeps us as
Speaker 2: a fan base on the hook. But I think we
Speaker 2: have to start to demand more. I mean, this is
Speaker 2: a football rabid city. We all know that we love football.
Speaker 2: We love our Bengals, and unfortunately our Bengals don't love
Speaker 2: us back. And that's you know, that's an abusive relationship,
Speaker 2: quite honestly, and and he needs to be called out
Speaker 2: for it. I mean the proof is then everyone did
Speaker 2: in the analytics these days, right, it's all a numbers game,
Speaker 2: and the numbers Mike Brown is a Loser's he's a
Speaker 2: He's a historic loser. I didn't realize the Bengals set
Speaker 2: an NFL record for the fewest games needed to reach
Speaker 2: two hundred loss. I mean it's historic losing that we've
Speaker 2: all been witnessed to and quite frankly, have financially supported
Speaker 2: for the thirty five years. Meaning people can you know,
Speaker 2: they're harder money. They take their harder money go out
Speaker 2: to sit in the cold and watch what he refuses
Speaker 2: to improve as a product on the field, and it
Speaker 2: just it's it's ridiculous.
Speaker 1: Well, but I will say this, I think you're looking,
Speaker 1: Nick at the wrong damn scoreboard. So the best stretch,
Speaker 1: arguably in the Mike Brown tenure, was the Marvin Lewis
Speaker 1: here six Way had six wild card appearances in seven years,
Speaker 1: but six eliminations in those wildcard games never advanced. But
Speaker 1: you're looking at the wrong scoreboard. The value of this team, Nick,
Speaker 1: is five point five billion with a buff of an
Speaker 1: initial investment I think of eight million dollars. That's a
Speaker 1: sixty nine thousand percent return since nineteen sixty seven, or
Speaker 1: twelve point four percent annually. That's better than the market
Speaker 1: average of ten percent. Are you looking at the wrong scoreboard.
Speaker 2: No, I'm looking at the right score which is why
Speaker 2: I'm saying sell the team and take your five point
Speaker 2: nine or whatever it is billion, and walk into the
Speaker 2: sunset and let someone else take over the team who's
Speaker 2: interested in winning and interested in creating a winning culture
Speaker 2: for the people of Cincinnati. That's what we deserve as
Speaker 2: a fan base, That's what the Bengals deserve, The players
Speaker 2: deserve You've shown clearly you're not interested in providing that
Speaker 2: you know and in establishing a winning culture. Mike Brown's
Speaker 2: not interested in doing that. He's interested in the numbers
Speaker 2: you just dropped. He's interested in what the team's worth.
Speaker 2: So sell it and walk off into the sunset and
Speaker 2: let another ownership group come in who can try and
Speaker 2: do it a winner in Cincinnati. I know everyone's worried
Speaker 2: if Mike Brown sells the team that the Bengals are
Speaker 2: leaving Cincinnati. I don't think the NFL is interested in
Speaker 2: the Bengals leaving Cincinnati. It's good for the NFL to
Speaker 2: have a team in Cincinnati. It's good for the city.
Speaker 2: It's not There's plenty of other ownership groups that could
Speaker 2: come in, build a winner and keep it right there
Speaker 2: in Cincinnati. It doesn't have to be one of the others.
Speaker 1: The moment to well, Cleveland needs a football team, could
Speaker 1: we move to Cleveland.
Speaker 2: Wow, they've got a football team that may be even
Speaker 2: worse than ours. Sad again starts Yeah, the minute we
Speaker 2: start comparing ourselves to the Browns, we're in really bad stage.
Speaker 2: So you know what the bottom line is, we have
Speaker 2: a probably not probably in one hundred percent. We have
Speaker 2: the most incredible quarterback in the history of our franchise
Speaker 2: who's in the prime of his career. And what I'm
Speaker 2: afraid of, and I think what the people is the
Speaker 2: status should be afraid of, is that he's going to
Speaker 2: get frustrated to the point of saying, you know what,
Speaker 2: I can't take this anymore. I want to win and
Speaker 2: it's not going to happen here, and I want out.
Speaker 2: And I think we saw shades out a little bit
Speaker 2: this year, you know, even though he would deny it,
Speaker 2: but uh, this is the this is the prime moment.
Speaker 2: I thought, like many people did, that when he came
Speaker 2: he's a perfect quarterback for our team. Iile kid. And
Speaker 2: since that, I thought the whole thing was going to change.
Speaker 2: That finally the Bengals going to find a way to
Speaker 2: redefine who they were as a franchise. And here we are,
Speaker 2: you know, four or five years later, feeling like the
Speaker 2: same thing is happening all over again, and it's just
Speaker 2: it's it's really sad, honestly. It's just after the people
Speaker 2: who have supported this team, you know, so passionately and
Speaker 2: loyally for for decades and put through the same cycle
Speaker 2: of futilities. It's unfortunately all.
Speaker 1: Right, Nicklas, do you want you want to buy this is?
Speaker 1: If that says, are you trying to leverage him so
Speaker 1: you can squeeze and help buy this team? Maybe not,
Speaker 1: just because I mean, you've got that ridiculous love is
Speaker 1: blind money. I get that, the ninety eighth agreement, ridiculous
Speaker 1: ten seasons. Now you're gonna shoot at You're you're a
Speaker 1: multi uh I don't. I can't even count that high.
Speaker 1: You got all this money, You're gonna buy this team.
Speaker 1: You're gonna get some friends together, and this is about
Speaker 1: the leverage and Mike brownout so you can swoop in
Speaker 1: and save the day.
Speaker 2: I wish that was the case. I wish I had
Speaker 2: anything close to uh to the money would take to
Speaker 2: buy an NFL French No, of course not. I'm a fan.
Speaker 2: At the end of the day, I'm a fan and
Speaker 2: I want to see this team win. I've been through
Speaker 2: the heartbreak. I've been, I've been at the playoff games.
Speaker 2: I've seen the futility. I've been you know, been to
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. I've watched it all happen. I'm a
Speaker 2: fan and I would love to see this horrible cycle
Speaker 2: that we've been living in as fans. I'd like to
Speaker 2: see it change, and I think that never gonna change
Speaker 2: as long as Mike Brown is the owner.
Speaker 1: What makes you think somebody somebody else comes in and
Speaker 1: buys it. I don't know, private equitor, what the hell
Speaker 1: it is? Uh? And it's not you're involved in this thing.
Speaker 1: I mean, it could be they want up moving the team,
Speaker 1: or maybe careful what you wish for it. Maybe it
Speaker 1: does get worse. Is that possible.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's possible for it get for it
Speaker 2: to get worse. Honestly, I think you know you can.
Speaker 2: You can luck yourself into a playoff appearance every few years.
Speaker 2: I don't think that that's I don't think that's a
Speaker 2: fear of it getting worse. But I do is think that.
Speaker 2: And I think people in Cincinnati are a right to
Speaker 2: be a word, you know, worried about this, that someone
Speaker 2: would come in and move the team. I just don't
Speaker 2: think that's gonna happen. I've I've got strong, strong feelings
Speaker 2: that the NFL does not want to see the team move.
Speaker 2: I don't know if the NFL would would mind and
Speaker 2: that ownership change. I mean, look at Buffalo. You know,
Speaker 2: they've they were sold. Rob Wilson you know, passed and
Speaker 2: they sold the team and now they're building a new
Speaker 2: stadium and the team's you know for a playoff you know, contender.
Speaker 2: So I mean it doesn't mean the team has to move.
Speaker 2: Cincinnati is a great football town. I mean, look, my god,
Speaker 2: we've supported a team that's been horrible. We've been selling
Speaker 2: out that's staying for for decades on on horrible products
Speaker 2: that are being craded out in front of us. I mean,
Speaker 2: what more do you need to see, you know, as
Speaker 2: an owner than that. It doesn't mean the team is
Speaker 2: moving and leaving Cincinnati. If the ownership changes.
Speaker 1: Well, I'll say this Nick also what they watch.
Speaker 2: But that's what they want to think though, right, I mean,
Speaker 2: it's in your base, you know, mentality like hey, well yeah,
Speaker 2: do take the team. Don't We don't care what it
Speaker 2: looks like, just don't take our team. Don't take our team.
Speaker 2: I think that's that's kind of what we've been, you know,
Speaker 2: like a bludgeon into into believing it's not it's not
Speaker 2: necessarily the case.
Speaker 1: Here's what here's why I don't think that's true. Right,
Speaker 1: there's the art Modell Rule with basically said when Art
Speaker 1: Modell moved, the moved to Baltimore and then subsequent win
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl to tell you how curse Cleveland. Maybe
Speaker 1: the state is with professional football. I don't know, but
Speaker 1: they enacted the artmdal so meaning if you take public
Speaker 1: money that you've got to give them six months to
Speaker 1: get a Ohio ownership group together to buy the team
Speaker 1: at fair market value. That's what it says. So they
Speaker 1: just took public money. By the way, seventy four percent
Speaker 1: of the money to redo pay Corps is from the
Speaker 1: tax payerge the other twenty four twenty six percent it
Speaker 1: is from the Bengals in the NFL. So kind of
Speaker 1: a minimal investment right there. But you know, only in
Speaker 1: Cincinnati we celebrate we're getting screwed, but we're getting screwed
Speaker 1: last than we did in the nineteen nineties with that
Speaker 1: horrific stadium deal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I've got the best stadium do in
Speaker 2: the league. They I mean, up until about ten years ago,
Speaker 2: when the NFL implemented a floor to the salary cap,
Speaker 2: the Bengals were spending less than anybody else in the league.
Speaker 2: Because of the revenue sharing. They're making all kinds of
Speaker 2: money and they're not even pumping it back into their
Speaker 2: own roster. It wasn't until the NFL changed the rule
Speaker 2: to force teams like the Bengals to actually spend the
Speaker 2: money on their players that they even did that. I mean,
Speaker 2: there's no more evidence we need to see that this
Speaker 2: ownership group does not care about winning. They simply don't.
Speaker 2: They care about all the numbers you illustrated earlier with
Speaker 2: the team's worth so great. I mean, what a phenomenal
Speaker 2: investment you inherited. Take it and run. Let somebody else
Speaker 2: come in who cares about winning?
Speaker 1: Uh? Nick Lashey, do you think that the Bengals care
Speaker 1: about Cincinnati, care about the fans?
Speaker 2: I mean, what evidence do you see that? How active
Speaker 2: are they in the community? I mean, what about all
Speaker 2: the great foundations they know? Don't I don't think they
Speaker 2: care about Cincinnati all. I mean, and if they did,
Speaker 2: it would be about more than just money, right. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean, this team is a part of the fabric
Speaker 2: of the city and everyone in that city wants to
Speaker 2: see him win. Everyone but the people who need and
Speaker 2: want to see them win, and that's the owners.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I'll say this. I had a council member
Speaker 1: Mark Jeffries late last week on my show and we
Speaker 1: were talking about it. Kind of I didn't see this coming,
Speaker 1: but we're talking about one of his initiatives is youth
Speaker 1: football in the city. As you know, it's very expensive
Speaker 1: to rent fields at CPS because of crime. You have
Speaker 1: to have armed security and you're run it from CPS.
Speaker 1: No youth football teams can afford that. You don't have
Speaker 1: that in the suburbs. You got that in Cincinnati. So
Speaker 1: he brought up the fact that you know the Reds
Speaker 1: obviously with the Reds Community Fund and the Urban Youth
Speaker 1: Academy does great. FC's doing that with youth soccer. And
Speaker 1: then he brought up the Bengals and said, look, the
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys at the top of the league, nine million
Speaker 1: dollars a year. They give back to the city of Dallas,
Speaker 1: to the community. The Packers do about a million and
Speaker 1: a half, My Bills do about a million. One Seattle
Speaker 1: does six hundred and sixty two million. Cincinnati last year
Speaker 1: thirty thousand dollars. In the year before that in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty three was zero. Now, granted, you can do charitable
Speaker 1: donations and they're very generous when I understand privately they
Speaker 1: don't want the they don't only want the attention, They
Speaker 1: just want to do it from from a philanthropic perspective
Speaker 1: as opposed to getting credit. But when you're poning up
Speaker 1: the money where for a stadium, you've kind of got
Speaker 1: to make the effort. You kind of got to make
Speaker 1: it known that you're doing these things. How isy would
Speaker 1: be for them to lean into youth football in Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: as the Reds did with baseball and FC would do
Speaker 1: with soccer. To your point, there's some ammunition here.
Speaker 2: I think it's an incredible point it's made, and it's
Speaker 2: one that a lot of people pay attention to you.
Speaker 2: I mean, there's a lot of there's a lot of
Speaker 2: criticism of the Reds, and but baseball and football are
Speaker 2: two totally different animals. You know, the structure of those
Speaker 2: sports is totally different. The banks have absolutely zero excuse.
Speaker 2: They're making billions and as I said in my post
Speaker 2: a few weeks back, billions on the backs of hard
Speaker 2: working Cincinnatians and they're going out there and spending their
Speaker 2: money on supporting this team. We've made this family billions
Speaker 2: of dollars and what have they given back? To the
Speaker 2: community and the city that's doing that and supporting them,
Speaker 2: it's next to nothing. I mean, they don't care. I
Speaker 2: can't say it any more clearly. They simply don't care.
Speaker 2: They don't care about winning, and I don't think they
Speaker 2: care about the city of Cincinnati. I think the evidence
Speaker 2: is in everything you just said. I mean, they care
Speaker 2: about making the money, and they've done it time and
Speaker 2: time again, and we've supported it time and time again.
Speaker 1: Nick Lache, You're not the first person to say, hey,
Speaker 1: sell the damn team already, and I'm load to tell
Speaker 1: people to do with their own damn money, because at
Speaker 1: the end of the day of tickets, I think we
Speaker 1: are like twoe point two percent off season ticket sales
Speaker 1: year over year, which is, you know, it doesn't sound
Speaker 1: like much, but in the NFL world, it's a lot,
Speaker 1: a little bit of a dropping. Some of the teams
Speaker 1: are doing that as well. People are still showing up
Speaker 1: for the product. Isn't that the issue?
Speaker 2: That is the issue? I mean, I think then people
Speaker 2: are scared to say, hey, we're gonna we're gonna you know,
Speaker 2: we're gonna vote with our pocket but you know, so
Speaker 2: to speak, and we're gonna boacout the team and we're
Speaker 2: not gonna show up well, and then he's gonna take
Speaker 2: the team away. He'll move the team to San Diego
Speaker 2: and we lose our team. That's the that's the fear
Speaker 2: based model that we're operating in year in and year out.
Speaker 2: And I think it's time that we kind of have
Speaker 2: to demand more. I mean, we have to have an
Speaker 2: expectation of winning, or an expectation of at least running
Speaker 2: up front. Our scouting department is the smallest in the league.
Speaker 2: I mean, we we clearly showed we can't evaluate talent.
Speaker 2: We can't evaluate college talent. We can't even evaluate our talent.
Speaker 2: I mean, look at wwarth a few years back. A
Speaker 2: guy who loved Cincinnati wanted to stay here, and Mike
Speaker 2: Brown told him he thought his best years were behind him.
Speaker 2: You know, go ahead, sign somewhere else. He goes on
Speaker 2: times with the Rams, there's a perennial hall pro and
Speaker 2: wins the super Bowl multi of the year. We can't
Speaker 2: even evaluate our own talent. It's a joke if we
Speaker 2: if we spend no money to that, I shouldn't say
Speaker 2: we they spend no money to invest in the scouting department.
Speaker 2: That can start to evaluate or coaching staff. But we
Speaker 2: just accept losing just another year to day. It's just
Speaker 2: it's nuts.
Speaker 1: Well, the good news is Reds Baseball is not that
Speaker 1: far far away. You got your Haino Suarez back in
Speaker 1: the lineup. But the bullpen looks good, the rotation looks good.
Speaker 1: You got depth in the outfield, you got depth in
Speaker 1: the bench. Better days are ahead for the Reds and
Speaker 1: the Bengals. Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 2: You know what I mean, it's there's all nothing but
Speaker 2: hope on the horizon, right, I mean, it's like that
Speaker 2: when baseball season start. But gosh, I mean, at the
Speaker 2: end of the day, the great baseball town, it's also
Speaker 2: great football town. And and this city deserves they deserve
Speaker 2: more again, man, I mean, Brown family has made so
Speaker 2: much money on the backs of Cincinnatian's great. Good for you.
Speaker 2: Let somebody else come in and buy the team who
Speaker 2: cares about winning? Because it's clear to me, and I
Speaker 2: should be clear to everybody that the Brown families simply
Speaker 2: just not so, you know, I mean, if you care
Speaker 2: about Cincinnati, prove it. You know.
Speaker 1: Why why should they listen Nick? Why why should they
Speaker 1: listen to you.
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm absolutely shured're not listening to me, nor will
Speaker 2: they listen to me, you know. I mean, there's no
Speaker 2: one to can force themselves. Sure they can, you know,
Speaker 2: continue to do what they do, and they probably will,
Speaker 2: but it's not right. Don't don't pretend you care about Cincinnati,
Speaker 2: you know, pretend you care about the city of Cincinnati
Speaker 2: and all those things, when this is how you operate
Speaker 2: a team that means so much to the people of Well.
Speaker 1: It's not just the It's not the Bengals. I mean,
Speaker 1: the Reds were suffering. Who saw what happened in La
Speaker 1: you watch those games live Nick Lache and getting swept.
Speaker 1: But hopefully this year they do better. But again we
Speaker 1: don't know what the season is gonna wind up coming to.
Speaker 1: For what's gonna happen at the end of the season.
Speaker 1: I guess I should say, do you see, Bearcats aren't
Speaker 1: very good? Xavier is getting better, but not very good.
Speaker 1: All our hopes and dreams right now are centered on
Speaker 1: Oxford and the Miami RedHawks and the undefeated team. Everyone's
Speaker 1: going nuts or Oxford the only the only like like
Speaker 1: feel good moment, and n FC is gonna start a
Speaker 1: vander May wind up leaving that he may get bought
Speaker 1: away by bigger teams, slaw, by bigger fish. That's a problem.
Speaker 1: And so I look around and go, damn Cincinnati sports
Speaker 1: sucks right now. It's it's tough to be optimistic, to
Speaker 1: be safe for the Reds. We're always optimistic here. The
Speaker 1: biggest you know what the biggest sports news was the
Speaker 1: last week is the fact that our boy John John
Speaker 1: had a half court shot at the Miami game.
Speaker 2: I asked him what what AI for? He used to
Speaker 2: the school that went off, and he he claimed to
Speaker 2: me that it was it was the actual footish. But hey,
Speaker 2: let me give a quick shout to my my red
Speaker 2: Hawks before the summer of ninety five to joy ninety
Speaker 2: degrees and start my musical career. But the year before that,
Speaker 2: I was at Miami and I was the athletic trainer
Speaker 2: for men's basketball and we went to the tournament, won
Speaker 2: of the first round games, a great team. Guys who
Speaker 2: know Miami knows, like Devin Davis, Jimmy Mahafe and Derek Crops,
Speaker 2: and so it's great to see I know everyone knows
Speaker 2: the wall the Zerbeak heres, but it's great to see
Speaker 2: Miami basketball back on the on the maps, the shout
Speaker 2: out to those guys are killing me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, And of course the legendary that would
Speaker 1: have been legendary Charlie Coles back in the work in
Speaker 1: the day, well.
Speaker 2: Hurt hurbs sendak. Look at this, Look at this coaching roster.
Speaker 2: It was Hurt Sdick, Sean Miller assistant, Charlie Coles assistant,
Speaker 2: and the fat model was the restricted earl coach.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: At one point all four of those guys were D
Speaker 2: one head coaches. Is unbelievable.
Speaker 1: And now you got Travis Steele leading them to glory.
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens with the uh with of course
Speaker 1: the tournament coming up. Uh, he's Nick Lache. Uh. And
Speaker 1: again you go to our our social fee, go to
Speaker 1: the seven hundred w W seven hundred w W or
Speaker 1: if you follow Nick on social Uh. The video and
Speaker 1: the song are out there, and of course, uh, I
Speaker 1: just played a clip of it, will probably play a
Speaker 1: little bit more when you leave. Nick Lache is demanding,
Speaker 1: he is demanding the Bengals be sold or else or else.
Speaker 1: I can't wait to hear what the or else is.
Speaker 2: I'm encouraging, I'm encouraging and again, you know it's a
Speaker 2: it's a tall, tall order, probably won't happen. But man,
Speaker 2: at some point, I think that the fan base, we
Speaker 2: as a fan base, have to we have to demand
Speaker 2: a little more. It's just I mean, it's just abusive
Speaker 2: at this point, and and they don't teem to care.
Speaker 2: So maybe maybe this little this little diddy I wrote.
Speaker 1: Away from people, no no more, no more sacrificeing than
Speaker 1: Nick Las, our brother. I appreciate you checking.
Speaker 2: In, man, Thanks, yeah, thanks for having me.
Speaker 1: God it's hard. It's hard to tell people what to
Speaker 1: do with their own damn money. But if your name
Speaker 1: has Cincinnati in the front or back of the jersey, uh,
Speaker 1: there's a debt, yo, I think to the community. And
Speaker 1: Nick is pissed off, and I love it. Sloany seven
Speaker 1: hundred ww
