guy is unbelievable. In the last four games, he's accounted for at least four touchdowns and over 70% completion percentage in each one of those games. That's never been done before, I heard, in a four-game stretch. 00:02:53 Speaker 1: And also. 00:02:54 Speaker 10: Talking about the four-game stretch, four touchdowns at least in each game. That's only been done by Manning, Brady, Breeze, Marino, and now Joe. 00:03:02 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm 100% with you on Joe Bowles. 00:03:07 Speaker 7: Hey, Austin. 00:03:07 Speaker 10: Hey, Tony. 00:03:09 Speaker 11: Hey, Austin. 00:03:10 Speaker 12: Hey, Tony. 00:03:11 Speaker 5: It's Kyle from Milford. 00:03:13 Speaker 12: Don't really have too many positive things to say about yesterday. I was really hoping that they would at least go half in or maybe dip their toes in, except they just... embarrassed us like they usually do. 00:03:26 Speaker 11: It's just disappointing. 00:03:27 Speaker 12: I would love to see the Reds and Bengals succeed and operate in a way that a successful franchise would do when they have one of the best quarterbacks we've ever had, maybe all the time. 00:03:38 Speaker 10: You don't know. 00:03:42 Speaker 7: I heard someone say earlier, and it's a dead ringer, the older Tom Izzo gets, the more he looks like Jack Klompas from Seinfeld. But, I mean, I respectfully disagree with you all. I mean, how do we know the Bengals? You know, they were rumored just like everybody else two weeks ago checking in on this guy, that guy. But I would get mad more if there was a star linebacker or a star cornerback that got traded and the Bengals didn't get them and someone else did. But I can't think of a linebacker or a corner that got traded yesterday. And those are the two positions of need, not safety or end. 00:04:11 Speaker 1: Diane Henley from the Chargers to the Broncos. 00:04:14 Speaker 4: I was going to say, there were two high-end safeties also dealt with, Jesse Bates and Imani Hooker. 00:04:20 Speaker 13: Yeah, all in. You know what this reminds me of? 00:04:29 Speaker 3: What, Jim? 00:04:29 Speaker 13: People that work their whole lives to get to a point where they're supposed to go on nice vacations and go out and have nice dinners and do nice things, but they They just keep saving money, and they won't do it. 00:04:44 Speaker 1: Well, then they get too old at a certain point. 00:04:49 Speaker 13: It's all in time, bangles. 00:04:54 Speaker 11: Okay. 00:04:55 Speaker 1: How about Jim there? There are times where Jim kind of surprised me a little bit. 00:04:59 Speaker 4: Yeah. 00:04:59 Speaker 1: Every once in a while, there's like an actual thought that goes through his head. Like, well done. Yeah. I mean, interesting. All right. Let's see what else we got. 00:05:10 Speaker 9: The Bengals are putting all their eggs in the defense red zone, under 50% allowing touchdowns versus field goals. They're saying in the playoffs against the best teams, they can score more touchdowns than the other team giving up field goals with their bend, but don't break defense. 00:05:31 Speaker 7: Okay. 00:05:33 Speaker 1: I think I know that's what they're saying. I just hope that that is sustainable. 00:05:37 Speaker 12: I agree. 00:05:38 Speaker 1: And I have my doubts about it being sustainable. 00:05:43 Speaker 3: Tony, you're a. 00:05:44 Speaker 14: Big movie guy. 00:05:45 Speaker 12: I'm sure you like National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. 00:05:50 Speaker 3: Check this quote out. 00:05:52 Speaker 10: Do you smell something? 00:05:55 Speaker 14: Fried bear cat. 00:05:59 Speaker 1: Not funny. What's your reaction to that? Not funny. What do you mean? Terrible. That was stupid. 00:06:07 Speaker 3: Hello, this is former President Ronald Reagan. 00:06:09 Speaker 5: Hello. 00:06:10 Speaker 3: Well, last night I had the strangest dream. I was at a blackjack table with Nick Kroll and Duke Tobin, and they were both dealt 13 and decided to stay put. 00:06:21 Speaker 13: No, wait. 00:06:21 Speaker 3: That was a nightmare. That was true. 00:06:26 Speaker 1: By the way, shout out to Emilio Pagan. 00:06:28 Speaker 13: Yeah. 00:06:28 Speaker 1: Detroit Tiger. Yep. Might fire up a cigar tonight. With Emilio Pagan hitting the exits. I don't know. Dang. There is actually some red stuff that's going on. I mean, they're irrelevant, but like Nick Kroll, GM meetings are happening, owners meetings and all that happening. Talking about Ellie and I don't know if anyone cares, but yeah. 00:06:56 Speaker 7: Tony. 00:06:58 Speaker 3: Tony. 00:07:00 Speaker 7: Tony. 00:07:01 Speaker 3: If. 00:07:03 Speaker 6: Travis Kelsey invited you to his wedding. I know he didn't, but let's say he did. And let's say Meredith couldn't go. Let's say Austin couldn't go. Seg couldn't go. Which talkbacker would have been your plus one? Man. 00:07:26 Speaker 1: I'm honored that you think I'd be second. That's a great question. Um, man. content wise, probably loud talk back guy. 00:07:36 Speaker 10: Hmm. 00:07:37 Speaker 1: Could you imagine him having a conversation with the bride? I mean, that's that I think the price of admission, I feel like Travis would love him though. Ronald Reagan. 00:07:46 Speaker 3: Yeah. 00:07:46 Speaker 1: I think like a low key, uh, wouldn't mind seeing Ronald speak at the wedding. 00:07:51 Speaker 2: Maybe. 00:07:51 Speaker 11: Yeah. 00:07:51 Speaker 4: I think like a, maybe an off the wall one. I think balling ain't easy, but probably provide great content. 00:07:56 Speaker 1: Balling would, I have a feeling we'd have a hard time getting him away from the bar. 00:08:00 Speaker 3: Yeah. 00:08:01 Speaker 1: Um, Hmm. Interesting. It's a great question. It is a great question. I have to stew on that a little bit. 00:08:09 Speaker 15: When we think about this Bengals defense, it's not about just being league average. 00:08:13 Speaker 1: It is about. 00:08:15 Speaker 15: Let's pretend it's the divisional round of the playoffs. We're in Buffalo. We're down by three

with two minutes left, and the Bills have a third down and three. Can we get the stop and get the ball back, or is James Cook just going to get around the edge, get the first down, and our season is over because Barrett Carter is once again. 00:08:33 Speaker 13: Out of position? 00:08:34 Speaker 15: And that's what I'm afraid the lack of movement at the deadline is going to cost us. 00:08:38 Speaker 3: I agree. 00:08:38 Speaker 1: I feel the same way. 00:08:40 Speaker 5: Yep. 00:08:41 Speaker 11: Hey guys, how you doing? I'm still optimistic and my hair's not on fire. 00:08:44 Speaker 1: I'm in the minority. 00:08:45 Speaker 11: The Jags got a defensive tackle to replace the defensive tackle that they lost. Bengals ran for 29 yards against them last time and threw for over 400. Burrow don't throw two picks, they win. 00:08:55 Speaker 1: Simple. 00:08:56 Speaker 11: Second, they are not going to take those stupid penalties against the Steelers again. They're a better team than the Steelers. Third, the Bills getting Amani Hooker. 00:09:05 Speaker 1: He ain't getting three picks against Joe again. It's not happening. 00:09:08 Speaker 3: Hootay, relax, relax. 00:09:11 Speaker 1: Okay. Okay. 00:09:14 Speaker 16: Hey, I went to the Bengals game in Madrid and it was awesome. My voice still hasn't gotten back, but just an awesome game. Anyway, I would ask people from Germany and all over the world why they choose to be Bengals fans. And the number one response was they just like the uniforms. Our uniforms are cool and appeals to Europeans. 00:09:34 Speaker 1: So good figure. A lot of people that are Bengals fans because of the uniforms and uniforms only. 00:09:40 Speaker 4: Yeah, and then they watch Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase, and they're like, man, I like this style. 00:09:45 Speaker 1: But even in the 80s when they switched to the stripes, that got a lot of people on board. Yeah. 00:09:50 Speaker 3: Hey, boys. 00:09:51 Speaker 1: Heard the Munich talk. 00:09:53 Speaker 14: Just another little feather in the cap here. 00:09:55 Speaker 1: I've been there. 00:09:57 Speaker 14: Cincinnati and Munich are actually sister cities. Inside of the Munich City Hall, you will find the seal of our great city of Cincinnati. 00:10:08 Speaker 13: Yeah. 00:10:09 Speaker 1: All right, book it then. I know there's a lot of correlation there. 00:10:11 Speaker 5: Yeah. 00:10:14 Speaker 3: I want to give a big shout out to all of our veterans today. 00:10:18 Speaker 1: Happy Veterans Day and thank you for your service. Yeet. 00:10:23 Speaker 7: Agreed. 00:10:23 Speaker 1: Oh, yeet. Well said. Joe Dannemann did say he found out that the Spanish word for yeet is yeet. 00:10:33 Speaker 13: Really? 00:10:34 Speaker 3: Yeah. 00:10:35 Speaker 1: See, now I wish I knew that. That's kind of cool. Do you miss Joe? 00:10:38 Speaker 10: I do. 00:10:38 Speaker 1: You should start working on Tuesday. 00:10:40 Speaker 10: I do. 00:10:40 Speaker 1: You know, I think in a couple weeks I do work on a Tuesday, and then I'm just off on Wednesday. Poor Austin. He's all checked out on college football because his suck guys lost. Would you be like that if they had one or two more wins? Probably not. Don't be a sore loser. Probably not. I'm not denying that I'm a sore loser. I don't want to watch this football team play. I've been to two games in person. I remember we were walking out of the Kent State game, a game that they won 59-3, and we're like, they're not that good. Yeah, you told me then that they might be in trouble. Yeah, and I also went to the Maryland game, but I barely watched the USC game, did not watch the Oregon game at all. I'm checked out, man. That's disappointing. The standard is not being met, and so because of that, you don't get my time. You know? Yeah, I get that. I get it. And why do the Bengals care so much about their draft picks anyway? They suck at drafting. This guy's voice rocks. They got two first-round ends on the defensive line that are practically useless. 00:11:54 Speaker 13: And another guy in Dax Hill who's okay, but in no way, shape, or form playing like a first-rounder. 00:12:00 Speaker 1: I don't know if those two guys are useless. No, but great voice. Yeah. Great voice. That's all we have time for today. We'll break. We'll come back. We have to talk. 00:12:10 Speaker 1: With Dr. 00:12:10 Speaker 4: Mangini from the Christ Hospital Health Network, who sponsors our talkbacks, which we are very appreciative of. It happens next on ESPN 1530 Cincinnati Sports Station.
