Speaker 1: you can see just about anything on Bourbon Street in

18
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,559
Speaker 1: New Orleans. Many of those things not meant for younger eyes.

19
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: But the primary thing I saw on Saturday night were

20
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: Bengals fans, hundreds of them, maybe thousands. And if I

21
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: would have accepted every offer for a free beer, I

22
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: would have looked like Nicholas Cage in leaving Las Vegas.

23
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: Many people travel to New Orleans to paint the town red.

24
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: This weekend, the Big Easy was painted orange and black.

25
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 1: Now let's get to the radio replays from the Bengals

26
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 1: third win in a row inside the Superdome. Here comes

27
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 1: the punt. Good looking punt tailor back pedaling and he

28
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: will start from the eight yard line, straight ahead to

29
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: the fifty to twenty sideline. Twenty five fumbles the ball

30
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: and the Saint Street cover at the Bengals thirty two

31
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: yard lines. Dalkon ready for the shotgun snap. Andy drops

32
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: back five steps, throws it has caught at the three.

33
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: It's a touchdown. Trey Kuan Smith cutting toward the goalpost

34
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: to make the catch and the Saints are on the scoreboard.

35
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: First third and goal from the nine. Joe back to throw,

36
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 1: pump fakes, throw short, get it by mixing at the five,

37
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: charges into the end zone, touchdown, Bengals a nine yard

38
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: strike on third down and goal and the Bengals are

39
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: a pat away from tying the game. Dalton is under center,

40
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara back in at running back receiver goes in

41
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: jet motion. They give it to him. Nobody is there

42
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: for cincinnt Shaheed to the twenty fifteen ten five touchdown. Wow,

43
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: single high safety blitz coming. Burrow trying to step away

44
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 1: from the rush. He does it runs up the middle

45
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,399
Speaker 1: of the field of the ten five touchdown. As Joe

46
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: Burrow crosses the goal line with the ball in his

47
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: left hand fully extended, goes into the back corner of

48
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: the end zone and spins it like he's rolling dice.

49
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: There is nobody. No body from the middle of the

50
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: football field to the left sideline, I mean everybody is.

51
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: It's like the fuel was tilted to its right and

52
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow rant left. All buy is lonesome. Burrow catches,

53
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:18,239
Speaker 1: looks fire, Chase touchdown, ran a skinny post. Burrow threw

54
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: a bullet right on the money. Chase does the gritty Huber,

55
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,679
Speaker 1: extends the hands, catches, puts the ball down. The kick

56
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: is on its way and it is good. Yeah. As

57
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: the Bengals pull within two with three minutes and forty

58
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: one seconds to go. If you include the playoffs, Evan

59
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: McPherson is a ridiculous sixteen of eighteen on kicks of

60
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: fifty plus yards. Dalton looks over the defense, catches the

61
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: shotgun snap. He's straight back to throw its hit from behind.

62
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: The ball is incomplete. The Bengals will scoop it up

63
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: and run it back, but it's an incomplete pass. Trey

64
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: Hendrickson got to the arm of Andy Dalton and the

65
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: Saints will have to punt it away, burrowing the gun.

66
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: Mixing to his left. Joe drops back to throw his pass,

67
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: caught by Chase at the fifty runs through an arm

68
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: Tag down the side. Baby, he's gonna take it to

69
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: the house. Jamar Chase a sixty yard touchdown and the

70
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: Bengals have the lead with one fifty seven to go. Unbelievable.

71
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: Dalton ready for the shotgun snap thirty three seconds to go.

72
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: He's back to pass. He's gonna fling it high and

73
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: deep down the sideline. It is knocked away out of bounds.

74
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: No penalty flag down? Was that Dax Hill sprinting over

75
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: to knocked that out of bounds. The Bengals rookie running

76
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: toward the sideline and getting a hand on it, and

77
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: that is Coffin nail Bam. The final score Cincinnati thirty,

78
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 1: New Orleans twenty six. For the past forty eight years,

79
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: the Superdome has been the site of many of America's

80
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: biggest sporting events, including seven Super Bowls, five final fours,

81
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 1: Muhammad Ali's last professional win, and numerous college football games

82
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 1: that have decided the national championship, including a game in

83
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: January of twenty twenty that featured one of the most

84
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: memorable performances in college football history, as Joe Burrow through

85
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: for four hundred sixty three yards and five touchdowns and

86
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: ran for fifty eight yards in another score in LSU's

87
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,359
Speaker 1: forty two to twenty five win over Clemson. His favorite

88
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: target in that game was Jamar Chase, who caught nine

89
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,799
Speaker 1: passes for two hundred twenty one yards and two t d's.

90
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,239
Speaker 1: So it was certainly fitting on Sunday that Burrow walked

91
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 1: into the Superdome wearing the jersey that Jamar wore in

92
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: that game. Rarely do games follow the Hollywood script, but

93
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 1: this one did to a t as burrow sixty yard

94
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: touchdown pass to Chase won the game with less than

95
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: two minutes to go. Dave Lapham caught up with Burrow

96
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: in the locker room. Joe second half eleven for twelve,

97
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy nine yards to touchdowns. What happened

98
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: on the incompletion? Just kidding? I mean today it was

99
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: just a great day. We had to fight back from

100
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: adversity all day. Defense got to stop when we needed to.

101
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 1: Offensive line played great. You know, we got the ball

102
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: out quickly. Receiver has played great. We're gonna build off

103
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 1: of this win and keep it going. You wore at

104
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase's LSU jersey. It's almost like a precursor to

105
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: what was gonna take place. You and Jamar hook up

106
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 1: for I think seven catches. He had one hundred and

107
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 1: thirty five yards, a couple of touchdowns. Your numbers were staggering.

108
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: What is it about New Orleans and you guys, I

109
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: don't know. It's something about this state that just you know,

110
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 1: brings the best out of us. Great fans. You know,

111
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: it's great to come back and he's you know, experienced

112
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 1: the atmosphere of a football game in Louisiana. This a

113
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: great day for us. What about your legs on the scramble.

114
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I've never seen like two thirds of the

115
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: football field cleared out and left side you and Hurst

116
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: on a little drag and it took the only defender

117
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 1: or what I mean from the right hash mark to

118
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: the left sideline. It was like unbelievable. Yeah, they brought

119
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: a saw pressure. It was a it was a you know,

120
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: a tough pressure look. And Elsie was able to get

121
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: out to the nickel blitzing late took it took enough

122
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: off of his I could stop up and that go

123
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: make a play. So your red zone offense was unbelievable.

124
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: Every time you get in the red zone, you score

125
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: a touchdown. They got in the red zone four times,

126
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: had to settle for four field goals. That was a

127
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: ball game, wasn't it. That's the ball game. You know

128
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: if you if you get down there and score score touchdowns,

129
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: you're usually gonna be able to pull out a W.

130
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: And if your defense holds into field goals, that's a

131
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: recipe for success. No turnovers by the offense, no takeaways

132
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: by the defense, but to turnover unfortunately on special teams,

133
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,679
Speaker 1: so your minus won and when you get behind because

134
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: of that turnover, it just seemed like it took a while.

135
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: You know, I mean, getting behind by a touchdown on

136
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: the road is a tough deal, isn't it. Yeah, they're

137
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: a good defense, They're really good defense, and so you know,

138
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: we mean a second half, we're able to turn it on.

139
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: You gotta give credits to them in our first quarter,

140
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: but I think second quarter on we were lights out.

141
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: You were lights out the whole game, Joe Burrow Man,

142
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: I'll tell you, when you have to ros to the occasion,

143
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: you rise above the occasion. Man, appreciate it. Arrow completed

144
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: seventy six percent of his passes and through for exactly

145
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: three hundred yards, with three touchdowns, no picks, a passer

146
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: rating of one twenty six, and a touchdown run. For

147
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: good measure, He's accounted for ten touchdowns the last two

148
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: times he's played in the Superdome. Jamar Chase finished with

149
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: seven catches for one hundred and thirty two yards and

150
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: two tds, and I spent a couple of minutes with him, Jamark,

151
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 1: can you describe just how meaningful it was for you

152
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: to have the kind of game you did today and

153
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: score the game winning touchdown with less than two minutes

154
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: to go was a good opportunity to play back at home,

155
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 1: playing for to my family and fans and just put

156
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 1: on a show. So when that pass comes your way,

157
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: I think most of us are thinking, all right, that's

158
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: eight to twelve yards in a first down. You turned

159
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: it into a six styard house called describe it just

160
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: making somebody missing, you know, getting a lot of space

161
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 1: on the field is just feel recognition of me and

162
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: just you know, making a play on my feet and

163
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: being a playmaker. What did Joe Burrow walking into the

164
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: stadium wearing your national championship jersey? Meaning today they gave

165
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: us the energy as a as an offense, the end

166
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: to me and to him, I felt like, just coming

167
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: into this game, you know, we had to make a

168
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 1: statement on who we are and where we need to

169
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: get back to. Did he request to wear it? Yes?

170
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: He did. Yeah, when did that happen? Um? Day before

171
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: we left, you know he texts. Actually the night before

172
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: we left, he texts my phone was like do you

173
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 1: have any jersey? And the day we was leaving, you know,

174
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 1: he I say, yeah, you know I had to take

175
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: it off my wall, but yeah, yeah I found up

176
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: the day Were you surprised What was your reaction? Um No,

177
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: I wasn't. I just didn't know what he was gonna

178
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: do it. I wasn't too surprised. I just ain't know

179
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 1: what he's gonna do it seven catches for you, six

180
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: for te six for Tyler. That the kind of way

181
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: it's supposed to look. That's how it needs to be.

182
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: God damn, I didn't know that. I wish i'd told

183
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: me that there. Well, what was what was uh? TB stats?

184
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: What was TB? They both had six catches for about

185
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: sixty some yards and you had seven for like a

186
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: buck thirty. I'm bad. It's not bad. Actually I need that.

187
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: So you guys were kind of swimming uphill all day.

188
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: The Saints were up by ten, they were up by nine,

189
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: then they're up by five. How does it feel when

190
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 1: you're able to overcome all of that and win? It

191
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: felt good, man. Just you know, we was gonna dog

192
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: fight the whole game, and you know we had We

Speaker 1: music was pumping. Everybody was psyched in here as this

196
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: kind of a big emotional lift considering you have three

197
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: losses that ended on field goals by the other team. No,

198
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: we can't were about that right there. We gotta we

00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: satisfaction of coming from behind all day and ultimately winning

218
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,959
Speaker 1: this game. Yeah. Man, you know when a defense I

219
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: needed to step up. They made a hell of a

220
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: stop our offense. We knew a week went out there again,

221
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: we knew we was gonna come through and deliver, and

222
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 1: we we delivered in a measure way. You know, I'm

223
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: very excited for you know, the guys. We came through

224
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: and most importantly bring home to win. So as long

225
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: as we keep on building, you know, taking it one

226
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: day at a time and you know, keep dishing off

227
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: of what the defense gives us, I think will be

228
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,199
Speaker 1: a hell of a football team, especially playing complimentary football

229
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 1: with the run in the past and keeping the defense

230
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: balance or you know, us being balanced and keeping the

231
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: defense honest. Homecomings are special. How cool was it to

232
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: see Jamar half the game he had and the game

233
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 1: winning touchdown on that sixty yard play with less than

234
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 1: two minutes to go. Yeah, man, I was a hell

235
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 1: of a play. He came through and deliver. I remember,

236
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: you know, talking to him on a sideline like broth,

237
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: like it's gonna come. I'm telling you, like and literally

238
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: everything I said happened. I was like, broth you get

239
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: a first down, I'm like, bro flex like show ya, grill,

240
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: do your name, bro, Like this shit gonna come to you.

241
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: And he was like all right, like and I'm lik

242
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: And after that, I'm like, the big one gonna come.

243
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: And literally that's exactly what happened. He got a big,

244
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: crucial first down for about like I want to say,

245
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: like eighteen yards or thirteen and all of a sad

246
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:01,719
Speaker 1: and he ended up coming with a big one. So

247
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 1: I thought he did a hell of a job, you know,

248
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 1: staying focus and me trying to keep him on his game,

249
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: and uh, when when we needed the most, he delivered. So,

250
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: like I said, it's a great feeling, man, and I'm

251
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: happy for him. What kinds of things are being set

252
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: on the sideline when you guys work down by ten,

253
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: down by nine, had to keep trying to come back. Um,

254
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,439
Speaker 1: you know, just don't flinch, keep on going, you know

255
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. We were in the game and we

256
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: ain't gonna never give up on each other, you know

257
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So everybody stayed true to the game plan.

258
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: Everybody was executing most importantly, and um, like I said,

259
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: we can't through and deliver. So it's a great feeling.

260
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: You know, the uh steal one from away team and

261
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: you know, take one to the crib. So we're gonna

262
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: enjoy this win, get back to work on Monday, and

263
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: uh get ready for Atlema. There always a lot of

264
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: heroes in a win. Dax Hill winds up making the

265
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: final play defensively, kind of his first big play as

266
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: a rookie. Yeah, he Uh, his time gonna come. He's

267
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 1: been patient. Um, he's been you know, doing all the

268
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: things that he needs to do as a rookie. And

269
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 1: you know, I'm excited for him. I'm glad you made

270
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: that played. I was huge for him, and like I said, man,

271
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: I'm just happy that we came came out with the victory.

272
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 1: Here's one more one on one interview as Laps spend

273
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: two and a half minutes with Zach Taylor after the win.

274
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: I'm really proud of these guys for just hanging in

275
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: because I would say that it felt like they had

276
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: a lot of momentum for big corse of the game

277
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: when they were chewing up the clock in their possessions.

278
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: It wasn't so much touch scorn touchdown as it was

279
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: just the time of possession felt like it was getting

280
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: away from us, especially there at the end of the

281
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: half at the beginning of the third quarter. Soever guys,

282
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: just to show that kind of resiliency, our depth had

283
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: to step up, because we had some guys go down

284
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: to that game, and everyone did and found a way

285
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: to get us a win. Like you said, you start thinking,

286
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: for how many possessions do we have? The way they

287
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: were taking seven and a half minutes on every possession,

288
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: and you guys scored so quickly. I mean, it was amazing.

289
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: Or even stepped up on that last drive and got

290
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: that second to last drive. We got that stop because

291
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: that was the battle you were fighting. When we kicked

292
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: to the field goal to go down two, I think

293
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: it was that was the challenge, right there was how

294
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: much time were we going to have left? Because they

295
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: were doing a good job taking up the clock, and

296
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: even though we weren't getting them up points necessary in

297
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: every drive, it was you know, there was a it

298
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: was a possession battle there. So unfortunately even stepped up

299
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: and made a tough kick, and then our defense made

300
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: a stop and got us the ball back and we

301
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: were able to score. But we needed o guys to

302
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: step up in those last moments, and they did. Joe

303
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: in the second half coach eleven for twelve one hundred

304
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: and seventy nine yards and two touchdowns. I was kidding

305
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: them when we talked earlier what happened on the incompletion.

306
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just unbelievable. Yeah, I got to think

307
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: through what the incompletion was, you know, but you know,

308
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: he just really got hot and you could feel it.

309
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: Once we kind of got into the rhythm of the

310
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: game and felt like we had a good understanding the

311
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: structure they were playing. They made some adjustments and they

312
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: made things challenging for us. But those were the moments

313
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: our guys stepped up. Maybe when the play call wasn't perfect,

314
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: Joe found a way to find guys that had the

315
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: best matchups, and those guys stepped up and made plays.

316
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: What is it about LSU and you know New Orleans

317
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: and I mean chasing Bar When they get on that stage,

318
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: they're stars, There's no doubt about it. You know, when

319
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: these moments get big, we need our big, our big

320
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: time players to step up, and that's what they did today,

321
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: and you just got to continue to give them opportunities

322
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: to do that, and I thought today we did and

323
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: they took advantage of it, and you know, so it's

324
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: it's a proud of those guys the way they stepped

325
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: up and helped us win this game. Coach, congratulations, big win.

326
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: This is one of those kind of victories that you

327
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: know as you prepare to go one and all again

328
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: next week. It's a good way to start the week. Yeah,

329
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: we needed this momentum going into a home game next

330
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: week against Atlanta. I think it's Atlanta. Yes, I'm not sure.

331
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: I hear you. It's gonna be an easy flight, nice

332
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: flight home, isn't it. Yeah, Yes, Atlanta is up next.

333
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: The Falcons are three and three after a fourteen point

334
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: win over San Francisco. Cincinnati is a very early six

335
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: and a half point favorite. The Bengal Smooth Podcast is

340
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 1: Lou Anarrumo says, all the time, don't ask me about yards,

341
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:21,719
Speaker 1: ask me about points. The Bengals defense bent but didn't break,

342
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: and that helped the offense come back and win the game.

343
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: It was the ultimate of it. You know, on four

344
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: possessions in the red zone, you're talking about an offense

345
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: that have converted eighty percent of the time touchdowns going

346
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 1: into the game, second best in the league. And to

347
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: hold them four times with just a field goal, that

348
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: was the game. As it turned out, that was the

349
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: probably most significant single thing that you could point to

350
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: and say that kind of swung the football game In retrospect?

351
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 1: Was there anything more predictable than Jamaar Chase would come

352
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: back to this place and do something spectacular? He and Borrow,

353
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: I mean it's like New Orleans, Louisiana Special Stage. They

354
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: step up big. I mean they're bigger than big, those

355
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,120
Speaker 1: two are. It's just it's just remarkable. And I think

356
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: it started with Joe Warren Jamar's jersey. You know, it's

357
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: kind of the Calmer started. It was kind of like

358
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,919
Speaker 1: a precursor of things to come, and U and the

359
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 1: two of them just hooked up again. I mean, Borrows

360
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 1: just thinks he sees and the way he sees him

361
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: and Jamar's just a grown man. There's no two ways

362
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: about that. They had balanced today. I mean, obviously in

363
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 1: terms of passing and running. It was heavily tilted toward passing,

364
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: but balanced in the sense that Chase, Higgins and Boyd

365
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: were all pretty similar in terms of targets in production. Yeah,

366
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,679
Speaker 1: for the two of them to have six catches, you know,

367
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: meaning Boyd and Higgins and then Chase having seven, that's

368
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: a good sign. Plus, I mean, the game itself is

369
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: it unfolded. The Bengals felt like they couldn't run the

370
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: ball that much. They ranted efficiently. They only ran it

371
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 1: fifteen times, but average almost six yards to carry. So

372
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 1: it wasn't like they weren't, you know, getting good things

373
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: out of the running game, which I think is another

374
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: good sign. A couple of weeks in a row, I

375
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: think there are you know, holes for Joe Mixon to

376
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 1: take advantage of and get past the line of scrimmage

377
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: with some authority. So I think that's all trending in

378
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 1: a in a good direction as well. But you're right,

379
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like when the Big Three is on,

380
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: what do you do? How do you do it? I mean,

381
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: it's just like the Saints with all the running backs.

382
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 1: There were times out there they had three legitimate running backs.

383
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: It's like you mentioned it. During the games, it's like

384
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 1: watching a college football running game. Who do you? How

385
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: do you what do you defend? How do you defend it?

386
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 1: When you have three receivers, the talent level that these

387
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 1: guys have, how do you defend it? What do you do?

388
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: Particularly when you don't see him that often? The Saints

389
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 1: just don't see it that often when the Bengals don't

390
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: see the type of offense the Saints draw out there

391
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 1: with the Swiss Army knife hill either. I'm sure you've

392
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: played in games like this where you're swimming uphill all day,

393
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: you're behind. Every time you get closer, the other team

394
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 1: scores again, and then you manage to pull it out

395
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: in the end. What kind of emotional lifty again from

396
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: a game like that. Yeah, it's a big lift, you know.

397
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,120
Speaker 1: It's like, offensively, took care of the ball, didn't turn

398
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: it over. Defensively, didn't get any takeaways. But the turnover

399
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: occurs on special team short field. You're down seven, and

400
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: then it's like to get over the hump. It takes

401
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: a while, you know, get over get it and you

402
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: think you're getting over the they score again, you know,

403
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 1: so it's uh. And like we were talking about during

404
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: the course of the game, the one thing about the

405
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 1: field goal drives where they were taking seven and a

406
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 1: half minutes, so every one of them was It wasn't like,

407
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: you know, just like a four play drive and stead

408
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: over a field goal. They were going double digit plays

409
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: and the drives and melting the clock. So you know

410
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 1: that that had to be a little bit disconcerting as

411
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,120
Speaker 1: well as you're trying to make a comeback. But when

412
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 1: you do and you win a game like this, man,

413
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 1: there's some there's some carry over. I mean it is

414
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,880
Speaker 1: bouncing your step. You know, practice is easier next week.

415
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: Now you've got to go string a few together, don't

416
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: don't look ahead, but maybe three more one of oz

417
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: and get into the bye week with a six and

418
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: three record. Then you think, no, no, you know, we

419
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,919
Speaker 1: have eight games left, are tough, but we got six wins.

420
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 1: We should be able to at least split going down

421
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 1: the stretch, So that would be a goal. I think

422
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,400
Speaker 1: I think we all felt the offense was getting closer,

423
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: and now they put thirty points out on the board.

424
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: I think it's the first time in about ten games

425
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 1: going back to last year. That's the proof we're looking

426
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: for that this offense is starting to display the kind

427
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: of production they're capable of coming up with. Yeah, I agree,

428
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: you know, and again because when they got in the

429
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 1: red zone, they scored seven. You know, they didn't settle

430
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: for three. When you look at it, the Saints scored

431
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 1: twenty six points with four red zone field goals, you know,

432
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 1: I mean, so there was some some productivity there to

433
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 1: a point, and then they just couldn't couldn't finish, couldn't finalize.

434
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,439
Speaker 1: I mean, you leave four points on the field in

435
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 1: four possessions like that, you leave sixteen points on the field.

436
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 1: That's that's a that's a tough, tough dynamic. Yet they

437
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: still twenty six points for them. Was there high on

438
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: the season you know as well? So it was. It

439
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 1: was a very entertaining, interesting football game, just like every

440
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: game is in the National Football League. This league is sick.

441
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't care who you are. As the

442
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,880
Speaker 1: old saying goes, anybody can beat anybody, and it is true.

443
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: There was another example of it in league wide today.

444
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: Can't take anything for granted. As soon as you start

445
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 1: to get full of yourself, you get knocking your keyston

446
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: the candle get empty quick man. Sick in a good way. Yeah,

447
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: sick in a good exactly, just like just riveting. You

448
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 1: know you just oh man, what's gonna happen? I never

449
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 1: expected that to happen. Expect the unexpected. That's in the NFL.

450
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: Elsewhere in the AFC North on Sunday, the Ravens blew

451
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: a double digit lead for the third time this year.

452
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: They led the Giants twenty to ten in the fourth quarter,

453
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: but lost the game twenty four to twenty. The Browns

454
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: were blown out at home by the Patriots thirty eight

455
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: to fifteen, and the Steelers upset Tom Brady and the

456
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 1: Bucks twenty to eighteen. As a result, the Bengals and

457
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: Ravens are tied for first at three and three. The

458
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: Browns and Steelers are a game back at two and four.

459
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:03,199

00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 1: time for this week's Fun Facts interview, where we get

465
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: to know the person under the pads. Time for some

466
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 1: fun facts. The Bengals offensive lineman Ted carras from Indianapolis,

467
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: the so called racing capital of the world. Did you

468
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 1: go to the track? Did you go to the Indy

469
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: five hundred or the Brickyard four hundred when you're young?

470
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: I did. I grew up going. I think the last

471
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: time I went was sophomore year of college. I kind

472
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: of banned myself after that. It's a pretty wild event.

473
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: So you know, next time I go will probably going

474
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: into the into the box. The Koke Lauden snake pit,

475
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 1: you know, aren't my style anymore. You banned yourself. I

476
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: like that. The Kennedy's art of politics as the caresses

477
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: are to football. Your family legacy in this sport is crazy.

478
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: Your dad has an NFL Championship ring, your grandfather won

479
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: an NFL Championship ring. You've got a couple. Your great

480
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,120
Speaker 1: uncle Alex is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

481
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: What are some of your earliest memories of being introduced

482
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,400
Speaker 1: to football? Well, that's high praise to Kennedy's I think

483
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:23,439
Speaker 1: we have less scandals. We're not scandal free, but we

484
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: had well, but earliest memories in football. You know, my

485
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,199
Speaker 1: father was a coach his whole career, so he's still coaching.

486
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,360
Speaker 1: So I think going on going to games Saturday, Saturday

487
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: afternoon game, small college football in the Midwest, you know,

488
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 1: those are some of my fondest memories. Traveling on the

489
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: bus with the teams. I think the longest bus ride

490
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:47,199
Speaker 1: I went on was to Millsaps in Mississippi, so a

491
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: lot of fun was that. I think it was like

492
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,360
Speaker 1: twelve hours. Yeah, it was a lot of fun. Though

493
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: we got to win. So, you know, grew up all

494
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 1: around small college football, you know, with you know, a

495
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 1: lot of guys that I'm obviously my dad playing the

496
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: NFL briefly, but my grandfather told a lot of stories.

497
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: So it's been you know, my whole life's been been football,

498
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 1: and it's I'm very grateful to be twenty nine and

499
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: still still playing the game. So all little kids in

500
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: elementary school get the what do you want to be

501
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 1: when you grow up? Question? Was it always pro football

502
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: player for you? Yes? You know I was never and

503
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,439
Speaker 1: I really even playing other sports, I didn't have the

504
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 1: same interest level. I wish now looking back, I wish

505
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: I probably would have played more sports going up, but

506
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't like them really. I just wanted

507
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: to play football and be around the game. So um yeah,

508
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,679
Speaker 1: I was always this was my goal. I think my

509
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 1: goal mostly was to play college football, to play in

510
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:45,959
Speaker 1: the Big Ten, and then always you know, had the

511
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 1: NFL in the back of my mind. But the first

512
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: goal was to get a full scholarship to play football.

513
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 1: That's what I thought about most of my childhood. Were

514
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: visiting the Ted karras. So your great uncle Alex, as

515
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,400
Speaker 1: I mentioned, is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame,

516
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,159
Speaker 1: but he's probably as well. Remember for his acting career,

517
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: he famously punched a horse as the character Mongo in

518
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 1: Blazing Saddles. He was Emmanuel Lewis's godfather and the hit

519
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 1: TV show Webster for six years. Did you get to

520
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: know him and have you seen much of his work?

521
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 1: I've seen most of his work. There's also several books

522
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 1: about his life that he wrote. Or George Plimpton, his

523
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: lifelong friend, good author. Paper Lion was a movie in

524
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: a book. Pretty cool actually, they and I think it

525
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 1: was the sixty three season now sixty four season. He

526
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 1: got them to He got the Lions to let his

527
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 1: friend be the four string quarterback for the whole year

528
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,640
Speaker 1: and then write about it. So that's probably my favorite

529
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: of his work. You know, I didn't know him that well.

530
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: He lived in Malibu and Hollywood Hills. So we visited

531
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 1: UCLA when I was seventeen and got to meet him

532
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:50,679
Speaker 1: and hang out with him for a day. So that

533
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: was pretty special. Does Frank Pollack call you Mango? No, Frank,

534
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 1: I have been called mongo before, but you know that's

535
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 1: reserved for Steve McMichael. That was his nickname back in

536
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 1: eighty five Bears. So you know, I've had more so

537
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: than being a nickname. There's been like trick plays or

538
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,880
Speaker 1: fake plays called Mongo. If I'm involved at all as

539
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 1: as a kid and all the way up to now.

540
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: So if I see a trick play that you're involved in,

541
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 1: I'm going to assume that the Bengals call it Mango.

542
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: Or visiting or visiting or visiting with Ted Carris. You

543
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 1: mentioned the desire to play in the Big Ten, and

544
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 1: you did at Illinois. What did you enjoy most about

545
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 1: your college experience. I had some amazing friends, I thought, Um,

546
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: I found college to be fascinating. I really didn't turn

547
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 1: it on probably until like my sophomore year. Academically I

548
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: woke up and really took advantage of, um, you know,

549
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 1: the opportunity of a free education at such a such

550
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: a great school. End up finishing with two degrees from there.

551
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 1: But you know, I wish we would have been better.

552
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 1: We didn't have the greatest run there. At On the

553
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,160
Speaker 1: other playing great this year though exciting to see um,

554
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 1: but have lifelong friends and you know, I met my wife,

555
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: so you know, overall is a and then made to

556
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:02,919
Speaker 1: the NFL, so it was a net positive Illinois. But

557
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 1: football wise, what those are probably my least fond memories.

558
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: So football, there's the University of Illinois. After five years there,

559
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 1: you're drafted by the Patriots in the sixth round in

560
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. Describe your draft experience. Well, I, uh, you know,

561
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 1: I didn't know whether I was gonna be drafted or not.

562
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: My agent said the best chance was Patriots in the

563
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 1: sixth round, which obviously it was a good, good call

564
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 1: by him, but you know, so the interesting thing about

565
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,879
Speaker 1: that year was that was the deflate Gate scandal and

566
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: they took away the first round draft pick of the

567
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 1: Patriots and gave him three extra six rounders and gave

568
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,719
Speaker 1: him an extra fourth, an extra sixth round, and I

569
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: was the last of those six round picks. It was

570
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: the last pick of the sixth round. It was amazing.

571
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 1: I you know, I didn't know if I was going

572
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 1: to a draft or not. Still through a huge party

573
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: in my house. Everyone that was in my life up

574
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: until that point was there. And you know, still very

575
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,959
Speaker 1: grateful to this day for that, that amazing opportunity. And

576
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 1: of course Belichick's gonna be two opportunities to be on

577
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: his team, so always be grateful to him for that.

578
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: So you go to New England, win a Super Bowl

579
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: or first year, go back to the Super Bowl year second,

580
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: go again your third year and win again that third year.

581
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 1: Did you realize how ridiculous that was? Yes? I did

582
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: realize how because I was, and you know, it was

583
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: so special to be part of such great teams. And

584
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: I mean those teams were stacked from top to bottom,

585
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 1: and to be a contributor at times on those teams

586
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: was amazing. And I saved everything. I have everything saved

587
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 1: from all the really from my entire career. You know,

588
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 1: I have every program signed by the featured player, of

589
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 1: a bunch of gear every Super Bowl. I kept my

590
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 1: whole outfit. I'm I'm a football fan too, so I collect,

591
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: you know, all this stuff, and I get kind of

592
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: easy access to some of the good stuff. So saved

593
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: it all. You know, still more to finish, though, I'd

594
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 1: like to get back and get another one. I would

595
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: like you to get back and get another one too.

596
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: Hopefully soon you're gonna be asked about Bill Belichick for

597
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: the rest your life. How do you describe him? I

598
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: think he's, you know, the ultimate leader of an organization

599
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 1: of you know, and I think that whatever field he

600
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 1: would have ventured into, he would have been a leader

601
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: and at the forefront of it. But you know, you know,

602
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: I can't say enough about the things that he taught me,

603
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 1: not only in football, but just how to lead men

604
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: and carry yourself. And you know, a lot of the

605
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 1: tenants that he, you know, has preached and still does.

606
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 1: I'm sure today has preaching some of those, and I

607
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: you know, I think about those a lot. So I

608
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: owe a lot of credit to him. I owe a

609
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 1: credit to my old line coach there, Dante Scarnekia I

610
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 1: would not be the player I was without him or

611
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: the person. So you know, it was a tremendous opportunity

612
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 1: for me, and I I'm glad that I took advantage

613
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: of it. I never want to squander any chances or opportunities.

614
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 1: So that was a special one and led me to hear.

615
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: Then there's Tom Brady your block form for four years.

616
00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: He's the goat of his many incredible qualities. What do

617
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 1: you respect the most? His desire to win and his

618
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 1: obsession with um, you know, winning and and putting his

619
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 1: his uh teammates and positions to be successful. UM. I

620
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: was always, you know, really grateful to him, just in

621
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 1: the fact how he treated my family, how he treated me. Um.

622
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: You know, he's a superstars, uh, you know, as big

623
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: as it gets in this country, so in this world really,

624
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: so you know, he's at the top of the world

625
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 1: and still had time for the little guys on his team.

626
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: So I have a lot of respect for him, UM,

627
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: and you know, always be rooting for him except from

628
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: wherehen we go down there and play them. This year

629
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: we're chatting with Ted Carris. So you grew up in

630
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 1: the Midwest, went to college in the Midwest, played in

631
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 1: New England for four years and then you went to Miami.

632
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: Big change of lifestyle down in South Beach in that area.

633
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 1: What do you think of your time in Florida? Oh, well,

634
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 1: time when Florida's not done, Dan, we lived down there.

635
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: We're gonna we're we half and half it will be

636
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: we'll be snow birds. It was very fortunate timing. Um

637
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: for me, got a great opportunity to go and and

638
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: and be a starter in Miami at a time. You know,

639
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 1: it was just awesome. My wife and I bought a

640
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: house and you know, we love it done there. We've

641
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: amazing friends and and uh, you know, you know, hopefully

642
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 1: we'll keep that forever. All right. A few wild card

643
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: topics for Ted Carriss. You own a construction company. I

644
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 1: do well. I I invest in the construction company. It's

645
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: it is, it is ours. I'm a few layers removed

646
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 1: as for just smart business sense. But um, yeah, So

647
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 1: we build home single family homes in Indianapolish. We bought

648
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 1: a lot of lots from the city over the past

649
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 1: few years and just kind of filling them up and

650
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: making the neighborhoods better. There's a lot of new construction

651
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: in India. It's cool to be a part of it.

652
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: I uh, you know, I've been fascinated with construction and

653
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: it's pretty decent payout. When you signed to the Bengals,

654
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: the radio voice of the Patriots told me he's obsessed

655
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 1: with the Office. Are we talking like every episode multiple

656
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 1: times type of obsession? Yeah? I think so. Over the years,

657
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 1: I would I would put myself up against anyone in Office. Trivia,

658
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 1: the left guard for the Chiefs and my roommate for

659
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 1: four years in New England. He's also he's up there.

660
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: He would be probably the only one I think it

661
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: could challenge me. Joe too. Favorite episode Dinner Party. So

662
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 1: is that Michael and Jan inviting the others over to

663
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 1: their house for the most uncomfortable conversation of all time. Yeah,

664
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: it's awesome and yeah, and then it's got that song

665
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 1: in it too that her assistant wrote. So I just

666
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:45,239
Speaker 1: think it's a classic episode and it's cool that they

667
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 1: switched up the setting. That is a very good episode.

668
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: In addition to being a brute force NFL offensive lineman,

669
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,239
Speaker 1: you are a cat guy? Is that correct? I do?

670
00:33:56,280 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: I have two cats, Nigel and Nugget. I will have dogs.

671
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 1: When I'm done playing, I can't, you know, in good

672
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 1: conscience take on a dog because I wouldn't be around

673
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 1: enough to give it the carrot it deserves. So my

674
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 1: cats are my companions. They're amazing. My wife and I

675
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: love them so much, and they're they're very vocal. Cats

676
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 1: are really cool. You know, we kind of keep in private,

677
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 1: but they're they'd be pretty special if we if we

678
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,320
Speaker 1: made like an Instagram formum, I'm sure they'd be pretty popular,

679
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 1: all right, fans are clamoring more pictures on Instagram. I

680
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 1: read an article where you discussed your travel adventures. Is

681
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:36,320
Speaker 1: that a passion um? I think it's just again taking

682
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 1: advantage of opportunities, Like you know, after my rookie year,

683
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,800
Speaker 1: you know, we stayed probably seventy nights in a hotel

684
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: that year, and I set up a Marriott Points rewards

685
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 1: system and got to go to Europe with my friends

686
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 1: for two weeks for under a thousand dollars. So you know,

687
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:58,359
Speaker 1: just you know, you get five months off basically, and

688
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 1: you know, I either want I don't want to waste

689
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: that time ever, though, so there's usually a trip involved.

690
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 1: Either I'm in school or there's some kind of skill

691
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 1: building that I'm doing because I'm not just going to

692
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 1: sit around for five months. Obviously I'm working out and

693
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 1: continuing my professional obligation as an athlete, but I'm not

694
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 1: just gonna sit on my hands for five months, work

695
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 1: out in the morning and watch TV all day. I

696
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:20,839
Speaker 1: want to be doing something actively so that when I'm done,

697
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 1: you know, eventually it comes for everyone here, when your

698
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 1: time is up, it's up, and it's you know, kind

699
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 1: of an unceremonious end for a lot of guys. So

700
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 1: I want to be in the best position possible with

701
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:36,879
Speaker 1: skills degrees to be able to you know, continue being

702
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 1: at the top of whatever field I want to go into.

703
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 1: Final question, it's kind of deep. If you could meet

704
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 1: anybody in history, who would that person be, Well, I'd

705
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 1: pick two. I think that first I would like to

706
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 1: meet Peter Disciple. Peter because I just would like the

707
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 1: early formation of the Church is fascinating and you know,

708
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 1: you want to say, Jesus if you're really going into that,

709
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:04,719
Speaker 1: but that hopefully we'll come later on. Peter would be

710
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 1: interesting just for the Roman aspect and how they navigated

711
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 1: it a whole empire and you know, spread a religion.

712
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,800
Speaker 1: I think that's pretty fascinating. And then Winston Churchill too.

713
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 1: You know, he was kind of a you know, a liberal,

714
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 1: upstart young guy in a pretty entrenched monarchical government for

715
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 1: a long time and you know, bounce back from he

716
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 1: suffered some political humiliations in early life and then ended

717
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 1: up being a hero that's celebrated to this day. So

718
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 1: I'd like any I heard he's pretty I mean, I've

719
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 1: read a few books on him. He's really quirky and

720
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 1: and interesting. So high energy guy. Though, I'd like to

721
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 1: see how you know, maybe just tail him along like

722
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 1: in nineteen forty four would be kind of cool. I'll say,

723
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: that's a very interesting duo. It'll be a fascinating dinner

724
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: for three. Appreciate your time. It's great to have you

725
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati. Best of luck the rest of the year.
