Speaker 5: want to get your thoughts on the Thingel sweet and

21
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 5: Low getting the main roster call or JJ. Have a

22
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 5: nice one day, looking forward to the outing tomorrow and

23
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 5: to quote the Angelo Hawkins since the three sixties up

24
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 5: and we won the smoke.

25
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 4: Let's go.

26
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 6: Okay.

27
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 4: I mean that's a banger of a talking about very

28
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 4: good uh.

29
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 7: I Ate Low.

30
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 4: I think Nate Low is on the team to hit

31
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 4: homers and to face right handers. He's a bench player.

32
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 4: He knows he's not gonna play every day. Do your job,

33
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 4: just be a left handed power bat. I think that's

34
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 4: the only reason he's on the team.

35
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 8: Do your job, guys, think kahun in Kentucky. What's the

36
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 8: point of JJ butday not the opening day roster. I

37
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 8: thought the win, you played your best player. This makes

38
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 8: no sense the.

39
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 4: Hunter Green being hurt. You know if he comes back.

40
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 8: In July, ready it to be a blessed in disguise

41
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 8: and be fresh like the Dodgers with Blakesdale last year.

42
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 8: And then when it comes to the being those quarterbacks

43
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 8: now Joey Flax back in the room, I feel like,

44
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 8: see you draft a quarterback like Drew Aller late around

45
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 8: and having learned from Joey Flack and Borrow, But do

46
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 8: we still got to pay Jermaine Johnson is back up too.

47
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 4: Jermaine Johnson, the former midfielder for the United States national team.

48
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 4: There's that Jermaine Jones. I forget think Johnson. They might

49
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 4: draft one, and if they do, we'll probably see the

50
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 4: end of Josh Johnson. Yep, yeah, that's Greg.

51
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:33,399
Speaker 6: Yeah.

52
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 9: You know, I thought last year Marte showed a lot

53
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 9: of promise in right field. So I haven't had a

54
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 9: lot of attention to spring training. But my question is

55
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 9: it books like he's not going to start. You guys

56
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 9: know why.

57
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 4: I think he's not going to start tomorrow because they

58
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,119
Speaker 4: face a left hander and in his career, Marte is

59
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 4: horrible against left handers. H And I think they're gonna

60
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 4: put Dane Meyers in the and he's been really good

61
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 4: against left handers and as a better defender. But I

62
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 4: think mostly every day, noel Vie Marte is going to

63
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 4: start in right field. Tony, there you go. It's goodbye me.

64
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 10: Hey, it's the Lord. Happy Wednesday, the Lord Technician. Way

65
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 10: to go, Bengals. Way to resign Joe Flacco. We really

66
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 10: needed that. Now let's go out and get some more

67
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 10: free agents and let's do some damage in the draft.

68
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 10: I'm looking forward to this season. I think this will

69
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 10: be our year.

70
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:37,119
Speaker 4: Foo Day Okay, okay, part.

71
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 11: Time, piably get out manage your boy. I can't wait

72
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 11: to explain to people that we got our guy in

73
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 11: the same cycle as UNC and Kansas jobs ropen and

74
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 11: he took first.

75
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 4: That's what I'm going to explain to people in a

76
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 4: few years that forget the details.

77
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 11: But tomorrow's opening day, I'm excited. I'm a little optimistic.

78
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 11: I'm a little upset that Dolo and Greener hurt the

79
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 11: beginning of the season. But let's go Red Legs, baby, yep.

80
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 12: And now with the call.

81
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 4: Yep, I already played it, thank you.

82
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 13: Hey, guys, need your opinion. Tomorrow's opening day. Getting really excited.

83
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 13: I think Vegas right now has them at eighty and

84
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 13: a half. Wondering what you guys think of I know

85
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 13: you gave your opinions before. Is it going to be over?

86
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 13: I'm going to say over. And the other thing is

87
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 13: winning the division? What do you guys think who's going

88
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 13: to win the division?

89
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 7: And why?

90
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 2: I still think it's for me. It's the Cubs. I

91
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 2: just think they have the most talent. I'm also over

92
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 2: bullishly on eighty and a half of the Reds. I'm

93
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 2: over eighty and a half I think the Reds and

94
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 2: Cubs will battle it out for the n L Central.

95
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 4: Hey, guys, super.

96
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 14: Excited for the Smoke Justice opening Day show tomorrow, and

97
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 14: with you guys going through a lot of the preseason

98
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 14: lines for you know, over under win totals, run stuff

99
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 14: of that nature tomorrow, I got one to add that.

100
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 14: I don't think many sports books are going to have

101
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 14: uh I got over under twenty three and a half

102
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 14: games until Mark quote unquote quits on the entire Styes.

103
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 4: O, let me know what you guys think, hammer the

104
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 4: under that's going to be the under it by my

105
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 4: first weekend. Yeah, by Monday, he'll be I quit on that.

106
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 4: I quit on uh, I quit on Sale Stewart being

107
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 4: the Yeah, I quit on that.

108
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 9: Hey, that's Greg double dippin'.

109
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 15: You know.

110
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 9: The fact that Key Brian is in the starting lineup

111
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 9: over somebody.

112
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 4: Like Marte is ridiculous.

113
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 9: Just a horrible trade to get him.

114
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 4: The Pirates just pulled one over on the Red Deepend.

115
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 16: Hey.

116
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 9: I talked to Mo about this, and I said, Hey, Mo,

117
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 9: we're stuck with that guy. And you know, for a

118
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 9: few years, Moe put in perspective, he said, we're stuck

119
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 9: with him for the rest of the decade.

120
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, he's the best defensive third basement in basement,

121
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 4: it's not even close. So that's the reason why. Other

122
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 4: than that, a guy that has a chronic back issue

123
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 4: and hasn't offensively been much of a threat. Yep, the

124
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 4: Reds feel bullish that they can fix him offensively bullish.

125
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 4: And he had a pretty good spring at the plate.

126
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 4: I mean, he wasn't a world beater, but can he

127
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 4: hit two fifty? If he does, that would be I

128
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 4: would be healed with that. I mean the bar is

129
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 4: very low for him. Yeah.

130
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 17: So I heard these words the other day, right, we

131
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 17: can't have nice things? And I thought about Cincinnati sports,

132
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 17: from the Reds with blisters and surgeries being swept by

133
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 17: the Dodgers last year, to our quarterback getting injured and

134
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 17: getting sacked, and the last play of the Super Bowl

135
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 17: to FC can't figure it out. They passed the ball

136
00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 17: backwards when they're trying to score. We can't have nice things. Well,

137
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 17: maybe this is the year that breaks the cycle.

138
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 4: Good afternoon. Could you, gentlemen, explain to me why the

139
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 4: rule is that a fumble out of bounds.

140
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 12: Is not a turnover?

141
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 4: Just the rule no, it's kind of you know, this

142
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 4: is what it is. You had possession of the ball,

143
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 4: touch back, Yeah, fumble out of the back of the

144
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 4: end zone. I love that rule. I know I'm in

145
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 4: the minority. I think you should be punished for fumbling

146
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 4: the ball through the end zone.

147
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 7: But why is that?

148
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 4: The rule couldn't tell you? I don't know.

149
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 9: Hey, fellas kid, from the lecture, looks like I'm not

150
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 9: going to be able to make.

151
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 4: It to smoke Justice tomorrow. My knee just as not cooperating. Uh,

152
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 4: and I don't believe I can walk that far.

153
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 18: I hate to miss it.

154
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 9: I'll miss you guys, hopefully, hopefully I can make it

155
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 9: back there again next year.

156
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 19: So go Rids.

157
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll miss you, Ken. Yeah, hopefully we'll run into

158
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 4: you down there some point this summer.

159
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 6: Wow, very cool. I uh, it was about a block

160
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 6: away from the stadium. As you guys know, I'm on

161
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 6: the road all day long in and out of downtown,

162
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 6: but I was a block away from the stadium when

163
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 6: you started talking about the clock. I had no idea.

164
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 6: I knew nothing about it until you mentioned it. So

165
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 6: as I drove by, I took a look, and you're right.

166
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 6: It does look like it fits. It looks like it's

167
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 6: been there since the beginning.

168
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 4: I don't know. It's pretty cool.

169
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:41,719
Speaker 6: I'm not sure why MO has a problem with it.

170
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,079
Speaker 4: Very cool, A historic field of the clock. Yeah, I

171
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 4: like when you think. When I think of Cincinnati Reds baseball,

172
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 4: I don't think of the modern era because they haven't

173
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 4: been very good. I think of the history. I think

174
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 4: of Crosley Field. I think in a big red machine.

175
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 4: I think of the Palace of the Fans, and that

176
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 4: to me just feels like something out of that era

177
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 4: and a reminder of the long history of baseball in

178
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 4: this town.

179
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 18: Hopefully about his clock bangs at the top of every hour.

180
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:16,079
Speaker 12: I like that, Tang.

181
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:17,079
Speaker 7: I like that.

182
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 4: That would be cool. That would be good next time

183
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 4: I see Joey and say, hey man, nice clock.

184
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 20: Two things, One, are you saying that in right field

185
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 20: the bar that people could just hang out at, no no,

186
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 20: And also, Mike, for you it probably is nine if

187
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 20: you're in California.

188
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,319
Speaker 4: Well that's true, Yeah, it would be nine o'clock. MIC's

189
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 4: now not the bar area, not the bowtop under the

190
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 4: smoke stacks. The bow tie bar is still good, but

191
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 4: it's under the Smokestacks, which I believe is being converted

192
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 4: into a like a sweet like structure.

193
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 12: It's g J B Dy and I had to report

194

00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 4: If you're out there, man, we love you. We miss you. Yeah.

Speaker 12: From the ding.

208
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 18: He retired from our job.

209
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 23: I miss him, you know, shout out Stick.

210
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:43,079
Speaker 4: I can't believe I forgot to mention this. But on

211
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 4: Thursday night I went down to hang out with Moe

212
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 4: at the Grail and watched some college basketball, and wouldn't

213
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 4: you know, Stick Foo was there, nice and I got

214
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 4: the chat with Stick for a while. Stick was doing

215
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 4: the first to fifteens. Oh smart, God had he had

216
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 4: a book and everything. He was like a It looks

217
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 4: look like something illegal was going on.

218
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 24: You know.

219
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 2: Speaking of former talkbackers, came home yesterday and Walker has

220
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 2: a shirt on and it says the Voice is my

221
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 2: favorite talkbacker. And the Voice gave that to Walker for

222
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 2: his first birthday. Yeah, and I think that maybe the

223
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 2: last time we've heard the Voice on this show.

224
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 4: Yeah. I've seen the Voice out and about, but I

225
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 4: have not heard from him.

226
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 7: Yep.

227
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 4: And Foo said, you know, I got to be honest,

228
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 4: I don't listen to your show anymore, man, because he retired,

229
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 4: and he doesn't. You know, I tell you can get

230
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 4: the iHeart Radio app. Yeah, no kidding.

231
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 18: And there's a deep drive the left center field. That

232
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 18: thing's way back and gone. Steamboat Suarez puts the Reds

233
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 18: on top one and up and here in the second inning,

234
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 18: can you imagine, good.

235
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 25: Gentlemen, perhaps the Red stadium there could take the sound

236
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 25: effect of a ticking class I can add that to

237
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 25: the sound effects. As the game draws near and their

238
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:09,559
Speaker 25: opponents are losing, you know, let's keep playing off that

239
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 25: clock all season long. Make it part of the Reds lure. Okay,

240
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 25: come with a few more ideals. Probably all the fans

241
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:18,359
Speaker 25: could probably chipping.

242
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 7: On that one.

243
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 4: So ninth inning, Reds are trying to close out a win, yep,

244
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 4: you get the first out, ye second out. I like

245
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,199
Speaker 4: this dick, Okay, yep, i'd like.

246
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 26: Hey, guys, naturally moist is just fascinating. So that's a

247
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,760

248
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 26: we have a couple of kids in the house. I

249
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 26: say kids, they're you know, nineteen twenty one years old,

250
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 26: and that word is for boating among that generation.

251
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 7: I do not know why.

252
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 26: I don't why, but moist hot just send them over

253
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 26: the edge.

254
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, wer than any other callers having. I got some

255
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,880

269
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 27: rumor Xavier had cork bats vassline on the hats of

Speaker 4: remember what it is, but like he he doesn't eat

274
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 4: pizza with sauce or something. Oh, I forget what it is.

275
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:25,280

Speaker 12: Jared Caliri.

280
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 4: I know some folks that their under arms are an issue.

Speaker 28: if you guys are gonna get back to the talk

285
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 28: back today, but I think I figure out what the

286
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 28: issue is with University of Cincinnati and how they're viewed

287
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 28: across the city.

288
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 4: So thumbs up to you.

289
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 18: Guys and somehow WIW.

290
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 28: For carrying the press conference of our new basketball coach,

291
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 28: but thumbs down to the network. No TV coverage at all,

292
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 28: and they showed the entire Tommy Tubberville press conference when

293
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 28: he was hired.

294
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 4: What network is he talking about? I don't know ESPN.

295
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 4: It was on ESPN plus. I know that the whole

296
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 4: thing is on ESPN plus. I know Fox nineteen carried

297
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 4: part of it, So I don't know what network he's

298
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 4: talking about.

299
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 29: Did Chad just introduce himself as coach Chad Brindill?

300
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 4: I think so. Yeah. I got Joe Danaman's like, hey,

301
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 4: Joe Danaman, Fox nineteen as if you know Daniman didn't

302
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 4: have pelts on the wall. You know, former Ohio sportscaster

303
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 4: the year. Here guy.

304
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 30: TP automatic, It's Jim from Anderson.

305
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 6: What gentiple questions for you?

306
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 2: What would your Reds.

307
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 7: Walkout song be?

308
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 30: In thoughts on Calhoun's presser, personally loved it. Thought he

309
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 30: was calm, confident, ready to get going. Unfortunately, we've seen

310
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 30: several press conferences for head coaches over the last five

311
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 30: ten years better than the last one, which was like

312
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 30: a little kid on Christmas morning opening up a gift

313
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 30: a bunch of wonderful pieces, but can't figure out how

314
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:17,160

Speaker 4: I need an X factor this year at the three

365
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 4: on three.

366
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,160

382
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 17: I was just wondering, didn't the bank was linebackers improved

383
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 17: the last six seven games of the season.

384
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 6: I thought they improved a little bit.

385
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 7: I know we still need one. But what didn't he

386
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,880
Speaker 7: think there was some pro banks boys have a great day.

387
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 7: Go cat, you can't.

388
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 4: I have said this the whole time. The some improvement

389
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 4: to me was that they tackled better. That is not enough.

390
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 29: You're listening to ESPN fifteen thirty your home for non

391
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:05,439
Speaker 29: stop Jared Calhoun propaganda. It's just a love fest down there. Hey, Austin,

392
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 29: who am I coach Calhoun?

393
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 18: I love him. It's a new day in Clifton.

394
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 29: I got one word, Jack Brindles moist Oh naturally moist Yep,

395
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 29: thank you.

396
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 32: Tony, Austin George in the valley. Hey, man, if they're

397
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 32: paying Joe Flacco six million dollars even said nine at

398
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 32: one point, I'm guessing that's what, you know, incentives.

399
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:31,679
Speaker 7: He may be able to hit.

400
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 32: But if they're paying him that much, they're almost betting

401
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 32: on Joe Burrow getting hit. They're like, this is more

402
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 32: important than a linebacker, because we're almost sure at some

403
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 32: point we're gonna have to deal with the Joe Burrow injury.

404
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 32: If that's the case, we're all in trouble. I mean,

405
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 32: I mean, I guess we all feel the same. But

406
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 32: Jesus man I'm.

407
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 4: Go Flyers tonight.

408
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 2: I don't think that's it. I think it's more just

409
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 2: the the safety net that's there. And I also think

410
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 2: there's a value to him on the sidelines and in

411
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 2: the meeting rooms with Joe during the week. I think

412
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 2: that is extremely valuable.

413
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 18: Gary del High.

414
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 21: Didn't the Bengals just sign Josh Johnson like last.

415
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 17: Week or something?

416
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 21: Quarterback string quarterback on the Bengals. I'm sure he's want

417
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 21: to go play for his twentieth NFL team, maybe somebody else,

418
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 21: So I think he'd be cut. Maybe you mentioned this today,

419
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 21: I didn't get a chance to listen.

420
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 4: Also a good.

421
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 21: Idea, I think anyway, Nicolo Dolas should maybe put a

422
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 21: little bit of basilina in his pocket when he goes

423
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 21: out and pitches next time. Stop a lot of that

424
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 21: friction and blisters on his finger.

425
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 4: Nobody will care, right, Well, how do you then grip

426
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 4: the baseball? He got basoline on your fingers? He can't

427
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 4: have enough good quarterbacks. Yeah, And I think at that

428
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 4: time and Flacco kind of alluded to this, like he

429
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 4: had had conversations with Zach, but Joe didn't really know

430
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 4: what he wanted to do, And so the Bengals are like, Okay, well,

431
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 4: we're gonna get this short up. In the event that

432
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 4: that we don't land him, we're gonna get Josh Johnson.

433
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 4: It was a good forward thinking move by the Bengals

434
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 4: and now they can move on from him if they

435
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,919
Speaker 4: want to without it being an issue. By the way,

436
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 4: go check out at moeger at Audielmore. Moe went to

437
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 4: the clock lay down here in Sonny Falmouth, Austin, Toning.

438
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 4: What a great day to be a Bearcats fan. I'll

439
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 4: tell you what.

440
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,640
Speaker 25: I'm so happy here in that press conference, mister Calhoun

441
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 25: had me naturally moist W's coincidentally was my wife's nickname

442
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:26,919

00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 4: Whoa and go figure go red Legs Opendick, whoa do it?

Speaker 4: Whoa naturally moist WHOA quick note on Marty.

445
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 22: He threw to the wrong bass last night in the

446
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 22: bottom of the seventh inning, was allowed two runs to score.

447
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 22: I know it's a meaningless exhibition game when Cowboy lit

448
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 22: him up one side and down the other for about

449
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 22: five minutes.

450
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 4: On the bro oh I missed that.

451
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 7: I did not know that.

452
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, that's good information now, Charlie. I think it

453
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 4: was reported that that about. Midway through camp, the Reds

454
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 4: brought Marty in for like a come to Jesus. This

455
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 4: meeting was like, hey man, you're not doing what we

456
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 4: expected you to do. Sure, and he got better in

457
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 4: the second half of camp, but you can't be doing

458
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 4: dumb stuff like that.

459
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 15: Nope, Austin, would you consider yourself a Bearcat basketball fan?

460
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 15: Is it sacriligious to be an Ohio State football fan

461
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 15: but also be a secretive you see Bearcats basketball fan.

462
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 4: It is not sacrilegious to Ohio steep Ohio State people.

463
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 4: It would be sacrilegious to Cincinnati people because they hate

464
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 4: Ohio State. Ohio State people actually root for Cincinnati to

465
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 4: do well. I root for Cincinnati to do well. When

466
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 4: the Bearcats are good, that's good for me, that's good

467
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 4: for us, So I want them to do well. Would

468
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 4: I consider myself a fan. No, I would say I'm objective,

469
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 4: but I want them.

471
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 33: Question Austin particular, you mentioned you like day games. I'm wondering,

472
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 33: though I've heard you mention, and I'm this way in itself.

473
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 33: Like summertime, it's nice and all, but when it's really hot,

474
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 33: I kind of discommibulates I'm wondering why you prefer day

475
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 33: games and it's very sunny. Are you making sure to

476
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 33: hang on the shade?

477
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 2: What's your strategy?

478
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 9: Man?

479
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:15,120
Speaker 18: Why do you like day games?

480
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 4: Depends depends on the weather, but I just like the

481
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 4: feel and the look and the environment of a day game.

482
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 4: You call him big moat the moisturizing.

483
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 34: Thank Tony Hayti Just Kurt from Loving question on the

484
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 34: naturally moist topic. I know you can get botox injected

485
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,239
Speaker 34: under your arm puss if you're like naturally sweaty. Has

486
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 34: anybody thought about maybe getting some injections of botox for

487
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 34: misson see.

488
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 4: If we could solve a problem.

489
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 18: Maybe I'll give Tim Krumbcheck a call.

490
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 4: You know, this is a good point question. I have

491
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 4: one of my best friends. He had a a major

492
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 4: issue with sweating. He was literally naturally moist, and he

493
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 4: is on a medication. He takes pills for this to

494
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:13,640
Speaker 4: prevent that excessive sweating. Perhaps there's something like that, maybe

495
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 4: that Nicolodolo could use. Perhaps I'm sure he'd probably then

496
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 4: take a p test and get suspended for eighty games,

497
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,359

00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 2: made a move. Joe Flacco is back as the backup

541
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 2: to Joe Burrow. Joe Flacco had a press conference earlier today.

542
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 2: Here is a little of what Joe Flacco had to

543
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 2: say earlier this morning.

544
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 35: Well, I think a lot of things play out throughout

545
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 35: the course of an offseason, but ultimately, like you know,

546
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 35: you just remember the players on the team and the

547
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 35: coaches and the staff and you know, just the the

548
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 35: thoughts that you had hanging out with all these guys.

549
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 35: You know, I just enjoyed being here and I felt

550
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 35: like it was a good fit and I feel like

551
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 35: I can help this team in any role possible. And

552
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:52,360
Speaker 35: just you know, just see what happens every.

553
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 16: Time you asked, Zach's talking about how much they wanted

554
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 16: you back.

555
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 4: How did you feel wanted back?

556
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 35: Yeah, I think that's to go to the ask question.

557
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 35: Even like that kind of plays a part in it.

558
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 35: You know, when you feel wanted, it definitely gives you. Yeah,

559
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 35: definitely gives you a good feeling and makes it easier

560
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 35: to a little bit easier to make that decision. But yeah,

561
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 35: like I said, I really enjoyed being around this staff,

562
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 35: so you know, just in talking with those guys definitely

563
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 35: made it feel good for me.

564
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 36: Sometimes veterans will kind of wait it out, avoid the

565
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 36: grind of camp and all that.

566
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:26,679
Speaker 7: Was important for you to do it now?

567
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 35: Well, yeah, I mean I had conversations with Zach about that,

568
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 35: just like waiting versus signing and everything like that. I

569
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 35: don't think I'm gonna need to kill myself this offseason.

570
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 35: Training camp is what it is. I mean, training camps,

571
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 35: not even training camp anymore. It's not like I need

572
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 35: to avoid that. Not to say that there isn't perks

573
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 35: of that, but you know, listen, being around the guys

574
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 35: and playing football is what I like to do, and

575
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 35: it's important to me, you know, to be to be

576
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 35: out there doing that.

577
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 36: What about being around the teammates, what you learned about

578
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 36: the culture here or the unique experience of you know,

579
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 36: playing behind Joe, playing with Joe, learning everything that goes.

580
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 4: Under this culture.

581
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 35: Yeah, listen, I think it was just a close knit

582
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 35: group of guys. And I think you know, anytime you're

583
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 35: in a locker room like that, then it can hit

584
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 35: you in a certain way. And that's kind of how

585
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 35: this past year was for me. I mean, I think

586
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 35: I was probably in the type of I was probably

587
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 35: in the headspace to be able to kind of accept

588
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 35: that a little bit, just because of how crazy last

589
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 35: year kind of was for me. So you kind of

590
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 35: just start to open yourself up to certain things. And

591
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 35: I think it just happened to be a great timing

592
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 35: and a great group of guys to kind of resonate

593
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 35: with me and make me feel good about the situation.

594
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 36: So to that point, how much of this is also

595
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 36: about you want to enjoy the end of your career

596
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 36: and enjoy the experience.

597
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 7: It's not just a job. Obviously, it is a job,

598
00:29:58,280 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 7: it's not just that to you.

599
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 35: I think when you I think in my experience, just

600
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 35: having played for this many years now, you go through

601
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 35: some kind of transition somewhere along the way where you

602
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 35: kind of go back to realizing how unique this is

603
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,479
Speaker 35: that we get to do this. I think we all

604
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 35: grew up with that idea, Like growing up as a

605
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 35: kid that wanted to be a professional football player, you

606
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 35: had a certain view in your mind of what that

607
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 35: was and it was pretty special. And and I think

608
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 35: when you get there and it is your job, there

609
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 35: is a piece of it that becomes a job, you know.

610
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 35: And then I think the longer you do it, you

611
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 35: kind of transition back into being that you know kid

612
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 35: and realizing like, oh, you know, wait a sec, this

613
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 35: is pretty cool. This is pretty special. And I think

614
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 35: that I've been able to kind of hit that the

615
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 35: last few years here, and it's kind of, you know,

616
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 35: it hits you a little bit, and it has kind

617
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 35: of reinvigorated some of those feelings of what it means

618
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 35: to be in this league and be on a football.

619
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 4: Team, expect to be back here when you left?

620
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 1: Uh?

621
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 35: I always I think I was telling people that I

622
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 35: could see a world where I signed back here. But

623
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 35: I don't know if I expected it.

624
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 7: Why do you think the world worked that way?

625
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 19: You know?

626
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 7: Who knows?

627
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 35: All I can say is that I feel good about

628
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 35: the fact that I am here.

629
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 13: And yeah, who knows?

630
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 35: What the reason?

631
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 4: Did you think? All right?

632
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:25,719
Speaker 2: So that is a little bit of what Joe Flacco

633
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 2: had to say about his time, not only getting back

634
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 2: to Cincy, but also being a little bit overlooked by

635
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 2: a lot of other teams in the National Football League.

636
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 4: Still some good football ahead for Joe Flacco.

637
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 2: We'll take a break, a touch and go, and then

638
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 2: we'll welcome back Mulegar for quick Kits on ESPN fifteen thirty,

639
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Sports Station. Do you enjoy staying active, Bob? We

640
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 2: are just a bit behind. We'll make that up now

641
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 2: with a touch and go. When we come back, we'll

642
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 2: check in and see what Mulllegger's got going up for today.

643
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 2: On the eve of opening deck, he'll join us for

644
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 2: quick Kits.

645
00:31:58,040 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 4: On Killing time out there by that.

646
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 2: Clock, Cincinnati Sports Station, beg.

Speaker 16: temperature near seventy, then near record warmth Thursday afternoon with

655
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 16: a height near eighty one. That's the forecast. I'm nine

656
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 16: first warning met religious mark stints. This report is sponsored

657
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 16: by all State. Some people just know you can save money.

658
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 9: Huh.

659
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: Now it's time for a quick hits on Tony Pike.

660
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 7: Since he three was looking.

661
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 2: For Mo, Well, I believe we've got mo on location

662
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 2: today because it is opening day. Even Mose had quite

663
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 2: the afternoon already the Jared Calhoun press conference. He stopped

664
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:58,719
Speaker 2: to make sure that the new clock at GABP actually

665
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 2: matches up with the correct the world clock.

666
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 4: So he's done that, and now we time check coming

667
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 4: up on the ship. Now he's set up.

668
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 7: No, what's going on?

669
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 4: What are you doing today?

670
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 19: I'm at the Cincinnati Lagger House right across the street

671
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 19: from the ballpark.

672
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 7: You know, I love Christmas. Who doesn't love Christmas?

673
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 4: Right?

674
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 19: But my favorite night is Christmas Eve. You know, the

675
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 19: presents are wrapped, the tree is up, hay is in

676
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 19: the barn, so to speak. You're you're just loaded with anticipation.

677
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 19: Maybe you're loaded with something to drink.

678
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 7: I don't know.

679
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 19: That's what today is for me, especially you get good weather.

680
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 19: The weather is broken for the better. There's like people.

681
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:40,959
Speaker 19: One of my favorite things about opening days the day

682
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 19: before when you come downtown and there's just people like

683
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 19: milling about the ballpark entrance for no reason. They can't

684
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 19: see anything, there's nothing going on, but like folks just

685
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 19: want to be there. So I invite them, and I

686
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 19: invite everybody else to come on down to the Cincinnati

687
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 19: Lagger House.

688
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 7: It's it's my happy hour. We do this every single year.

689
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 19: We've got five dollar drafts, We've got five dollars well drinks,

690
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 19: we've got five dollar house wines, we've got appetizer specials,

691
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,360
Speaker 19: we've got the freshly brewed first pitch logger. We are

692
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 19: here from three to six doing our show. On top

693
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 19: of all that, I think we've put together a pretty

694
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 19: good show today. I just went to UC and interviewed

695
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:24,880
Speaker 19: Jared Calhoun and Tony I am ready, Yes, I'm in,

696
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 19: I'm in, I'm in Jared Calhoun. You'll hear that interview

697
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:33,280
Speaker 19: at three twenty. Also spent some time chatting with John Cunningham.

698
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 19: You'll hear my interview with him in the five o'clock hour.

699
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 19: A John Morosi of MLB Network, who is going to

700
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 19: be in Cincinnati for Opening Day. He's gonna join me

701
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 19: at three thirty, sam Ley cure Red's TV at four five,

702
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 19: and the Great Tommy Thrawl in the five o'clock hour.

703
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 19: I have also, you know, our friend John John's doing

704
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 19: his show literally like twenty feet away from where I am,

705
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 19: and he has all these people that stop by. One

706
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 19: of them is that mailman I have. I have been

707
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 19: told that dude's gonna be on my show. I'll be

708
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 19: honest with you, You've been I've been told. I am

709
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 19: not necessarily sure how that's going to go, but I'm

710
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 19: I'm excited. Maybe this will be Mowen Friends today. I

711
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 19: don't know, but we have a lot going on. The

712
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 19: weather is beautiful, So come on down to the Cincinnati Lockerhouse.

713
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 19: Have you ever done a John John impression. A John

714
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 19: John impression, Yeah, not to talented. I don't have a

715
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 19: good enough voice.

716
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 2: It feels like every every press conference a new coach

717
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:34,359
Speaker 2: makes you you're gonna say all the right things. Why

718
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,280
Speaker 2: did today feel different with Jared Calhoun?

719
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 19: Because this doesn't feel like just another job for him.

720
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 19: And I hate the term dream job.

721
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 31: You know.

722
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 19: I don't go into these things thinking, well, he's going

723
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 19: to be the next the coach for the next twenty years.

724
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 19: But like I genuinely grasped that this is a big

725
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 19: deal for him, not just because it's a step up,

726
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 19: not just because it's a higher paying job, not just

727
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 19: because it's a twelve job, like him being the coach here,

728
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 19: and I think being embraced you'll hear I asked him

729
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 19: about this at the top of the interview, where this

730
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:14,360
Speaker 19: is no knock on Wes Miller or John Brandon or

731
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 19: Mit Cronin for that matter. But it feels like, for

732
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 19: the first time that I can remember, it really feels

733
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 19: like they're hiring from within the family. And maybe that

734
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 19: doesn't matter, and if they go thirteen to nineteen every year,

735
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 19: it won't matter.

736
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 13: But like.

737
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 19: Jared Calhoun, isn't going to have to be told about

738
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 19: the history of Bearcap basketball, and he's also not going

739
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 19: to have anybody who's not helpful to him. You know,

740
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:38,359
Speaker 19: I put this on social media last night and I'll

741
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 19: name drop here right. I talked about this at the

742
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 19: press conference with Corey Blunt, and I said, when Wes

743
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 19: got the job and when John Brannon got the job,

744
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 19: there was more talk about who didn't get it and

745
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 19: maybe whose feelings were hurt because of who didn't get it.

746
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 19: And maybe that wasn't an impediment to those coaches, but

747
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 19: it wasn't helpful. I feel like the runway is clear

748
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:02,400
Speaker 19: for Jared Calhoun, and I also feel like the timing works.

749
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 19: I think it helps that he has a GM in place,

750
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 19: and you'll hear me ask Jared about that. But like

751
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 19: I think, for years there has been a sense of

752
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 19: the players don't know what it's about, what it's all

753
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:17,959
Speaker 19: about to be a Bearcat, because maybe the coaches don't.

754
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 7: I don't think that's going to be a problem moving forward.

755
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,280
Speaker 2: Shout out to Mick Cronin as well, who is obviously

756
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 2: very instrumental in all of this. No Nick Ladolo to

757
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 2: start the season along with Hunter Green, Can this rotation

758
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 2: early on in this season, the way it is currently

759
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 2: constructed hold up.

760
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:36,240
Speaker 7: It's a great question.

761
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 19: I think it's going to put a heavy emphasis on

762
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:42,320
Speaker 19: the bullpen, and I wish they had Caleb Ferguson. But

763
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 19: Sam Mall did throw the ball well during the Cactus League.

764
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 19: To me, that was always going to be the real

765
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:53,840
Speaker 19: interesting early season test, this bullpen that Nick Krawl prioritized.

766
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 19: You know, early in the season, pitchers aren't going as

767
00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 19: deep into games, and now you don't have arguably your

768
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:03,800
Speaker 19: top two starters. Can the way they've constructed the bullpen

769
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 19: end up paying dividends? And the guy that I'm most

770
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 19: interested in he wasn't great during the Cactus League, is

771
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:11,919
Speaker 19: Connor Phillips, because I think a lot of us watched

772
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 19: Connor Phillips at the end of the season and thought

773
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 19: he's going to close one day. You did not watch

774
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 19: him pitch in March and think he's going to close

775
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 19: here soon. But it's such a tough way to start

776
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 19: the season. And I know there's exasperation with Hunter Green,

777
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 19: and there's some exasperation with Nick Lodolo and his moist fingers,

778
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:34,439
Speaker 19: But starting the season without your two top bullets. Yeah,

779
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 19: is less than ideal.

780
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 7: It's going to be an early season, interesting, early season

781
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 7: test for that bullpen.

782
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:42,760
Speaker 2: At what point do you think Al Golden would approach

783
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 2: perhaps Duke Toba or Zach Taylor about seeing if Joe

784
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 2: Flacco can maybe get reps at middle linebacker.

785
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:51,359
Speaker 7: I assume for six million dollars, that's what they were

786
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 7: going to ask him to do.

787
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:52,399
Speaker 33: Yeah.

788
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 19: Never, Look, I'm glad Joe Flacco is back, and I

789
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:58,800
Speaker 19: think we all agree, like last year, if you're a

790
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 19: Bengals fan, how did you not become a Joe Flacco fan? Like,

791
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 19: loved everything about him. Glad he's back. Never call this

792
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,800
Speaker 19: team cheap. They're paying a guy they hope never plays

793
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 19: six million dollars, so he's not playing. I mean, you know,

794
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 19: I know, first of all, how many like press availabilities

795
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 19: are there.

796
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 7: For a backup quarterback as many as Duke Tobin wants.

797
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 19: I can't believe, Like, as I look over to the

798
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 19: venue formerly known as Paul Brown Statium, I can't believe

799
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 19: there's not like a big banner of Joe Flacco out there.

800
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 4: I think you're gonna have one of those planes that

801
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 4: flies around with like a shout out to Flacco tomorrow

802
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 4: on opening Day.

803
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,319
Speaker 7: Maybe I I'm glad Joe Flacco is back.

804
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:45,839
Speaker 4: Who plays Linebacker's good question? Unfortunately, Barren Carter and Demetrious Night.

805
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 7: It's such a dangerous, perilous approach, man, it.

806
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 2: Is, Austin said, it's it's the approach. They made it

807
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 2: safety last year and it didn't pan.

808
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:55,959
Speaker 7: Out one hundred percent.

809
00:39:56,480 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 19: And you hear like, oh, you know they they they

810
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 19: last at the end of the season, and they played better.

811
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 19: So did safety play. So did last year. So did

812
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 19: the twenty twenty four defense as a whole. Nobody is

813
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 19: against those guys being on the team. Nobody is opposed

814
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 19: to the notion that those guys will be better and

815
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 19: be helpful this year. But how do you go into

816
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 19: the season without a safety net? And how do you

817
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:23,720
Speaker 19: not give those guys an established player at that position

818
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 19: that they can attach themselves to all throughout the offseason,

819
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 19: all throughout the OTAs. They haven't done that yet, And

820
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 19: it is what they have done who they have added great,

821
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 19: But what they're doing at linebacker.

822
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 7: Is astounding to me.

823
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 2: Moe, can't wait to have you join us tomorrow at noon. Also,

824
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 2: you just want to meet under the clock. Is that

825
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:46,919
Speaker 2: you want to start with that and meet under the clockmark? Okay,

826
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 2: we'll go to the walk after that.

827
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 19: That is that is the new landmark. My dad, God

828
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 19: rest his soul. We used to find certain landmarks to

829
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 19: meet at both ballparks. Now it's the clock.

830
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 7: It's great.

831
00:40:57,239 --> 00:41:00,400
