Speaker 1: Welcome to the Nightcap after Xavier Basketball on seven hundred
Speaker 1: WLW Hey Howdie, Gary, Jeff Walker checking in for just
Speaker 1: a brief little time tonight. We've got an hour for sports,
Speaker 1: for the out of Sorts, the wild Man and the
Speaker 1: fur Ball we'll both be joining us in the hour
Speaker 1: coming up, and just some reflection on the Nightcap and
Speaker 1: this show and the things that we've talked about over
Speaker 1: the last seven eight years. I think we're into our
Speaker 1: eighth year of doing some night shows here on seven hundred,
Speaker 1: and it's amazing the ground we've covered in that time,
Speaker 1: and we're still here for the moment that could all
Speaker 1: change after tonight. Who knows, but from the scamdemic to
Speaker 1: an awful, awful malaise of a presidential administration that totally
Speaker 1: checked out on the American people. They were fine for
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants, and they were fine for woke causes and
Speaker 1: all the rest, but basically they checked out on the
Speaker 1: American people. And Kamala Harris paid for that with a
Speaker 1: loss this month to Donald Trump, who actually listened and
Speaker 1: spoke to the American people. My point is that we're
Speaker 1: still here, we're still going, we're still ticking. We took
Speaker 1: our licking, and America still is standing strong and moving
Speaker 1: in the right direction again, and thank God, praise God
Speaker 1: for that. We are very, very resilient as a country.
Speaker 1: But we definitely could not have stood four more years
Speaker 1: of Marxism in the White House and in the corridors
Speaker 1: of power in our nation's capital. But we've survived. We
Speaker 1: are survivors. We are the ones who made the trip
Speaker 1: across the oceans in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to
Speaker 1: come settle this country, to build this country. We were
Speaker 1: the ones who left the East coast and headed out
Speaker 1: into wilderness in the middle of this country and on
Speaker 1: to the rest of the continent, from coast to coast.
Speaker 1: There were a lot of people who did not make it.
Speaker 1: A lot of people were not the enduring kind of
Speaker 1: rough tumble Americans that embody today's American spirit and will
Speaker 1: embody the next comeback, which we all pray is going
Speaker 1: to happen here in just a couple of months when
Speaker 1: Donald Trump and the new Congress take office. But whatever
Speaker 1: comes our way, we will find a way around it,
Speaker 1: over it, or through it, because we are the survivors
Speaker 1: of the planet. Look across the globe America and it's
Speaker 1: been a short ride comparative to other countries and cultures.
Speaker 1: I understand this, but after almost two hundred and fifty years,
Speaker 1: we're still going strong. And the smart money wasn't on us.
Speaker 1: When the founders began the United States of America. The
Speaker 1: smart money was, well, that'll devolve into chaos and nonsense
Speaker 1: in about twenty years or so, and they'll come back
Speaker 1: to the kings and monarchs. They'll come back to the hierarchy.
Speaker 1: That was Nope, not gonna do it. Wouldn't be prudent
Speaker 1: at this juncture, Thank you, George H. W.
Speaker 2: Bush.
Speaker 1: Anyway, the wild Man is on the way in just
Speaker 1: a few sit tight, take hold, Let's roll on seven

Speaker 1: Okay, that'll be fun. I will come up with some
Speaker 1: queries for you for next time, wild Man. That sounds
Speaker 1: fun because I love history. That's for ten.
Speaker 4: Mark it down, pow ten.
Speaker 2: For ten bam bam bam.
Speaker 1: All right, wild Man. Is that time of the year
Speaker 1: in the NFL when the cream starts to rise to
Speaker 1: the top and you see who the real, the real
Speaker 1: contenders are and you see who the pretenders are are
Speaker 1: the Washington Commands are the Washington Commanders now pretenders After
Speaker 1: they lost to Dallas, they.
Speaker 4: Might have taken a step back yesterday.
Speaker 3: I still can't believe how the Cowboys won that game
Speaker 3: on that on that dumb on side on the side kick.
Speaker 3: I'm not a like that rule where you're going to
Speaker 3: tell them that they're gonna you're gonna do that too, but.
Speaker 4: Notiki was just completely botched the other game. The ball
Speaker 4: just took all gone.
Speaker 1: The other game that I thought was surprising to me
Speaker 1: was the Tennessee Titans going into Houston and beating C. J.
Speaker 1: Stroud and the Texans. That was that was kind of
Speaker 1: an outlier game compared to the ones that really asserted
Speaker 1: their power. Philadelphia asserted their dominance of Los Angeles Rams, and.
Speaker 4: They sure did.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 4: There was a ton of Eagles fans there too.
Speaker 1: We know we had Cleveland beat Pittsburgh last Thursday, but
Speaker 1: I think that's a that's a fluke.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 1: Cleveland actually has a decent defense.
Speaker 3: But Pittsburgh just Mike Mike Talman, you know on on
Speaker 3: uh Sunday night games of Thursday night games something like
Speaker 3: that when they play the Browns record that they can't
Speaker 3: for some reason, they've always had trouble beating the Browns.
Speaker 4: But I look at it this way.
Speaker 3: If Cleveland can beat the brown because Cleveland can beat
Speaker 3: the Steelers in Pits and Cleveland, Okay, yeah, all right,
Speaker 3: and the Bengals beat Cleveland in Cleveland, the Bengals gonna beat.
Speaker 4: The Steelers here. They can't.
Speaker 2: They can't.
Speaker 4: Steelers are good, Yeah, they are.
Speaker 3: Good, but they're not They're not no offensive juggernaut. It's
Speaker 3: gonna come down to their defense against our offense. Let's
Speaker 3: be honest here, to defense against our all.
Speaker 1: Do you think do you think that the Bengals could
Speaker 1: finish nine and eight and still get a wild card spot.
Speaker 4: I'm not good. I'm gonna so I'm gonna take one.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna take this game.
Speaker 3: That's the most important one of the bunch, because the
Speaker 3: other ones you never know. You would play in Dallas
Speaker 3: and playing Tennessee, you never know it's gonna They've they've
Speaker 3: had the week off to prepare to get healthy. U.
Speaker 3: I think that your boys, Zach Taylor's already come out
Speaker 3: and said the next six games are gonna be You're
Speaker 3: gonna see a different Bengals team.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're gonna find out. We're gonna find out. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And Nixon had a secret planned in the Vietnam War
Speaker 1: and the.
Speaker 3: YEA and there was and there was no nuclear weapons,
Speaker 3: and then there was no nuclear there was a nuclear
Speaker 3: weapons Remember in Iraq, there were nuclear weapons in Iraq.
Speaker 1: Yes, well, okay, well that's that's a different presidency, a
Speaker 1: different war. But what I was asking about was you
Speaker 1: and the Bengals. You're not going to make any predictions
Speaker 1: that they're going to make this this amazing. So you're
Speaker 1: not shot, You're not delusional like a lot of Bengals
Speaker 1: fans I've heard in the last couple of in fact,
Speaker 1: they've got.
Speaker 4: A shot, but they gotta gotta beat the Steelers.
Speaker 3: And then I think the week after that they played
Speaker 3: at Dallas, and Dallas stinks there, but they're pathetic. And
Speaker 3: then after that they're going to come back here, I
Speaker 3: think and play the Broncos. Broncos are pretty tough. I mean,
Speaker 3: the Raiders hung with them for a while.
Speaker 4: Yesterday. I was hoping the Raiders would pull over the upset.
Speaker 3: And you got the you know, you got the Browns
Speaker 3: back here, and then you gotta go play the Steelers
Speaker 3: and then you got there's one part.
Speaker 4: Of the Titans, and you got the Titans. But you
Speaker 4: gotta you go. You must have to win out. You
Speaker 4: really do they have to win out? Can they do it? Maybe?
Speaker 4: I don't know. It depends on that defense. The defense
Speaker 4: is going to tell the story. And we haven't seen
Speaker 4: anything but.
Speaker 1: No Joe Burrow. Joe Burrow puts up all Star records,
Speaker 1: all proh passing game almost in every game that he
Speaker 1: suits up. And the Bengals still with you. The Bengals
Speaker 1: still can't win, wild man, They just can't win.
Speaker 3: But well, just's beat the Steelers. Let's beat the Steelers
Speaker 3: on a Sunday. And here's here's the thing about it.
Speaker 3: On Sunday, Gary Jeff. But that half that stadium we
Speaker 3: filled with Steeler fans because a lot of Bengel fans
Speaker 3: I know, and they're not dumb. They sell their tickets
Speaker 3: because that Steeler fans will pay top dollar. That way,
Speaker 3: it pays for half their season tickets.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 3: And and my buddy, my buddy, motor Head rest his soul,
Speaker 3: would sell his four seats every year to somebody out
Speaker 3: of Pittsburg, he said, and almost paid for my season
Speaker 3: tickets for the year.
Speaker 1: I would trade the tickets for the top dollar money
Speaker 1: and they'd have to give me a terrible towel so
Speaker 1: I could wipe with it, so I could wipe my
Speaker 1: rear end with it, wild Man.
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 3: A lot of the will be a lot of those
Speaker 3: down there, and they'll probably be outside for sale.
Speaker 1: Also, why wild Man, as you may have heard earlier,
Speaker 1: loves the Jonathan India trade.
Speaker 4: And oh I don't.
Speaker 1: I think it stinks and thinks and thinks that the
Speaker 1: Bengals are going to make the playoffs. You've heard it here.
Speaker 4: But I am Trivia king for the first time.
Speaker 1: You are ten for ten baby, good life, good looking
Speaker 1: out wild Man. Have a good night, all right, lad
Speaker 1: Let's see the fur Ball is coming up next on
Speaker 1: seven hundred WLW in this abbreviated nightcap. There's always room
Speaker 1: for Furman, He's like, I don't know what what there's
Speaker 1: always room for There's always room for Andy Furman on
Speaker 1: the nightcap, for sure. And he's back again with the vengeance.
Speaker 1: I can tell he's just torqued up and ready to go.
Speaker 1: He can't wait to charge out of the gates and
Speaker 1: get this conversation started.
Speaker 2: Fur Ball.
Speaker 1: Are you ready?
Speaker 5: How you doing?
Speaker 2: How you doing?
Speaker 5: Are you ready for Thanksgiving week? I mean kind of
Speaker 5: a semi chef, I mean, are you ready? Are you
Speaker 5: doing the I am a.
Speaker 1: I am a Thanksgiving traditionalist. We will have turkey at
Speaker 1: my house. We will have dressing that I make. They
Speaker 1: always call it stuffing, but I don't stuff inside the bird.
Speaker 1: That's really not it's not sanitary.
Speaker 2: And it's at the table. You stuff yourself at the table.
Speaker 1: Absolutely. I stuffed my my personal bird at the table
Speaker 1: and it goes, it goes past the beak, and it
Speaker 1: goes down the gullet and then it's in my stomach
Speaker 1: and it's yummy tummy time. No I have. I'm going
Speaker 1: to make homemade mashed potatoes and homemade gravy. My Brussels
Speaker 1: sprouts are a favorite of anyone who's had Gary Jeff
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving dinner. What I do is I after I rinse
Speaker 1: them off and I have them cut them in half
Speaker 1: and then put them in a sauce tape pan with
Speaker 1: butter and red wine and garlic and bacon andy there
Speaker 1: just to die. They get caramelized on the bottom. We'll
Speaker 1: have a pumpkin pie and some cool whip, and we're
Speaker 1: doing it at home. This year. It's the first year.
Speaker 1: Got twelve of the last thirteen years I have cooked
Speaker 1: the Thanksgiving meal and transported it to the bar that
Speaker 1: I work in a Newport. This year, wow, this year,
Speaker 1: we're not doing that.
Speaker 4: This year.
Speaker 1: We're staying So are you are you?
Speaker 2: Are you going open? No?
Speaker 1: No, the bar is not open.
Speaker 5: I'm going to my niece. My niece is hosting Thanksgiving
Speaker 5: for the family in Georgetown, Kentucky, and we actually close
Speaker 5: it to Lectionington Letsington, Kentucky really.
Speaker 2: Actually and then normally normally we do it at our home.
Speaker 2: But she's taking over and that's great. A little less
Speaker 2: pressure on my wife. Well, it looks is good, so
Speaker 2: we'll be good.
Speaker 1: Let me let me ask you this, because we really
Speaker 1: didn't have any plans to go anywhere Thursday. But I'm
Speaker 1: thinking I would much rather have somebody else cook the
Speaker 1: meal and just show up and not have to clean
Speaker 1: or anything. Is there two more spaces we could have it?
Speaker 5: Your nieces, I'm sure that, I'm sure that you could come.
Speaker 5: And obviously their family is so big they probably fig
Speaker 5: you're a relative.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, Well what does one do on a
Speaker 1: Bengals bye week? Does one reflect on the season so
Speaker 1: far and project of the season.
Speaker 5: I mean, you know what all I hear is now,
Speaker 5: if the Bengals win the next six games, Fox Sports
Speaker 5: says they got a seventy one percent chance to go
Speaker 5: to the playoffs. You know, I'm up with the speculation.
Speaker 5: I don't want to hear about that they didn't play.
Speaker 5: It's great for them to have a week off get
Speaker 5: their head together, but it's great for the fans to
Speaker 5: have a week off as well. And I was watching
Speaker 5: football yesterday and I'm watching the Philadelphia Eagles, yes all right,
Speaker 5: and and the sae Quon Barkley right now has something
Speaker 5: like sixteen hundred plus rushing yards for the season's on
Speaker 5: pace to rush for two and fifty one yards, got
Speaker 5: sixteen hundred and forty nine yards and scrimmage and now
Speaker 5: the chanting MVP. All right, and the last running back
Speaker 5: to win an MVP was Adria Peterson. And I'll say this,
Speaker 5: I mean the MVP in the National Football League. You know,
Speaker 5: it's a nice trophy, it's nice to have. I'm sure
Speaker 5: players would rather have a Super Bowl ring, But the
Speaker 5: MVP is very similar to the Heisman.
Speaker 2: Trophy in college. What do I mean by that?
Speaker 5: Normally a quarterback atser's a quarterback award, And I thought
Speaker 5: Saint Kwon Barkley would definitely get the Offensive Player of
Speaker 5: the Year award.
Speaker 2: I think he certainly deserves the MVP. But the irony of.
Speaker 5: The whole situation is this, for the last several years,
Speaker 5: people were saying their running back position in football is overrated,
Speaker 5: it's diminishing, it's going to disappear. Well, look what's happened
Speaker 5: right now. You got a guy like Saint Kwon Barkley
Speaker 5: was basically kicked to the curb. But at New York
Speaker 5: Football Giants, he was only seventy percent of their offense
Speaker 5: a year ago.
Speaker 2: They let him go.
Speaker 5: Obviously they're going to fire their coach, and they got
Speaker 5: rid of their quarterback. They got Tommy DeVito, and I
Speaker 5: was quarterback in the club. Daniel Jones is out on
Speaker 5: the street. He's looking for a job. They got rid
Speaker 5: of him, and they got rid of Saquon Barkley. Then
Speaker 5: all of a sudden, Tennessee lets Henry go. Derek Henry's gone,
Speaker 5: and he's leading to Baltimore Ravens. So you got two
Speaker 5: running backs with over fifteen hundred yards right now doing
Speaker 5: that on teams that didn't want them anymore. And you're
Speaker 5: telling me the running back positions unvaluable. He can't win
Speaker 5: in the cold weather without a running back.
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon is on pace to have fourteen hundred yards
Speaker 1: rushing this year and the Bengals let him go.
Speaker 5: Right, It's an amazing situation. And I think, you know,
Speaker 5: what goes around comes around. People are gonna saying, you
Speaker 5: know what, this running back position is a little more
Speaker 5: valuable than me think.
Speaker 2: You know what does the running back do?
Speaker 5: Takes the pressure off the quarterback, opens up the run,
Speaker 5: opens up the passing game, but more than that, if
Speaker 5: you have the lead, it keeps the obvious offense, the
Speaker 5: opposing offense off the field by running up the clock,
Speaker 5: you know, running down the time. The running back is
Speaker 5: so important that I don't understand why there hasn't been
Speaker 5: much more, you know, interest in it, except perhaps salary wise.
Speaker 5: You don't hear these running backs arguing and sitting out
Speaker 5: and demanding more money. It's always the quarterback and the receiver.
Speaker 1: No, it's those, It's mostly the receivers. Quarterbacks, I think
Speaker 1: I have nothing more justified. But the receivers are divas.
Speaker 1: You're absolutely correct. I've said this for years. You know,
Speaker 1: a receiver, a wide receiver, has one great electric year
Speaker 1: and then he wants thirty million dollars and if he
Speaker 1: gets paid thirty million dollars, he's never the same again.
Speaker 1: And you've seen it over and over and over again
Speaker 1: in the league.
Speaker 2: There was something by you.
Speaker 5: Yes, I was listening to the radio just the other day,
Speaker 5: and I think it was one of the iHeart stays.
Speaker 5: I know it's sports tal whatever it may have been,
Speaker 5: you know, just just a comment, and I believe the
Speaker 5: host said something to the effect that looking at the
Speaker 5: Bengals in the future and the next year says they'll
Speaker 5: probably sign Jamar Chase for forty million dollars. And see,
Speaker 5: he's worth forty million dollars. I was in the car
Speaker 5: listening and almost drove up the world because I'll tell
Speaker 5: you right here and now, no one, no one on
Speaker 5: God's green Earth, is worth forty million dollars doing anything,
Speaker 5: an astronaut, the president, you name the position, what the
Speaker 5: person may do, No one's worth forty million dollars. So
Speaker 5: the term worth was ridiculous. It was foolish for it
Speaker 5: to say that now he may get forty million dollars
Speaker 5: because that's the going rate of that position. But don't
Speaker 5: tell me he's worth forty million dollars. That, to me
Speaker 5: is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.
Speaker 1: Whatever the market will bear, Andy, it's capitalism, get used
Speaker 1: to it.
Speaker 5: Used right, No, you're right. But is he worth it?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 5: Not worth it?
Speaker 2: Really?
Speaker 5: I mean think about it, I mean worth millions. He's
Speaker 5: worth that's what the market bears.
Speaker 1: He's worth what anybody is willing to.
Speaker 2: Pay, Andy, right, But that that position is not worth it.
Speaker 5: He's worth it in the minds of those who pay him.
Speaker 5: And what other in that position.
Speaker 2: Get that's what he's worth. He's not worth it just
Speaker 2: to say I'm a running back.
Speaker 5: Pay me is no, that's the going rate of running
Speaker 5: backs because of the contractual situations and TV money brought
Speaker 5: it to the National Football League. That's what it is.
Speaker 5: I didn't think, for example, the USFL. Yeah, the USFL
Speaker 5: running backs are not getting forty thousand, let alone forty million,
Speaker 5: right pay position? Right?
Speaker 1: Sure? Well, I mean I don't think Stormy Daniels was
Speaker 1: worth one hundred and thirty thousand dollars. But that's why
Speaker 1: you got to bring her up.
Speaker 5: Why is that always on every single show we do?
Speaker 5: That has to be pulled up.
Speaker 1: On the show.
Speaker 5: Get out of the gutter the first time the gut.
Speaker 1: This is the first time I've referenced Stormy Daniels over
Speaker 1: at last week.
Speaker 5: And I tell you something, honestly, as a friend.
Speaker 2: It doesn't do you any good.
Speaker 5: It doesn't do you. It makes you sound dirty, It
Speaker 5: really does. It makes me sound dirty.
Speaker 1: I said somebody's name, and it makes me down dirty.
Speaker 2: Yeah, associate her.
Speaker 5: I started associated with dirt, all right.
Speaker 2: Well, let it go.
Speaker 4: I didn't.
Speaker 1: I didn't say anything the highway.
Speaker 5: Stay in the main lane of the highway, don't take
Speaker 5: any detours.
Speaker 1: So I'm not going to give you the p Diddy
Speaker 1: quiz now.
Speaker 2: But he's an idiot, So why do you bring up
Speaker 2: these stupid people?
Speaker 5: He's a bump. Really, they're in the news during the
Speaker 5: infatuated with these idiots?
Speaker 1: Oh god, no, So I just got off the phone
Speaker 1: with wild Man and you can send me on.
Speaker 2: Why do I follow him?
Speaker 1: Because you're the you're the lead act, You're the top
Speaker 1: of your you get top of you.
Speaker 4: He's the only hand.
Speaker 1: Sure, he's he's listening to this right now and he's
Speaker 1: in undercard my ass. By god, I'll show him and
Speaker 1: this will this will light of huse that I won't
Speaker 1: be able to put out next week. Thanks Sandy.
Speaker 5: But anyway, you should have an alternate days. Perhaps maybe
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Well, tonight was the night since we had Xavier basketball.
Speaker 1: I got, I got an hour's worth the show. I
Speaker 1: figure it's a perfect fit basketball and guys that talk
Speaker 1: about sports. So you guys got the got the call
Speaker 1: this week. So anyway, what I was gonna do? He
Speaker 1: was complaining and complaining and up and down about the
Speaker 1: Red's trade of Jonathan India so I want you to
Speaker 1: ruminate on that for a moment. We will come back
Speaker 1: and do another segment and I'm gonna give you a
Speaker 1: trivia quiz that Wild wild Man passed with flying colors.
Speaker 1: We'll see how Andy Furman does on the other side.
Speaker 1: It's the Nightcap sports for the out of sorts and
Speaker 1: Andy is just getting to the point where he is
Speaker 1: out of sorts with me and I love it. Seven
Speaker 1: hundred WLW. It's the fur Ball on the Nightcaps shortened
Speaker 1: by XAVI or Basketball Tonight on seven hundred WLW Garry
Speaker 1: Jeff with Andy. Can I can I call you Andrew
Speaker 1: or what would you prefer to be called?
Speaker 5: You could coolly, mister Furman if you want to doctor Furman,
Speaker 5: whatever you want to.
Speaker 1: And I mean, really, but you're not a doctor? Is
Speaker 1: that like doctor Jill.
Speaker 2: I'm going to go for my PhD online.
Speaker 1: Piled high and deep. That fits you perfectly. There you go,
Speaker 1: all right, here we go.
Speaker 2: This is a seven This is.
Speaker 1: A seventies current events trivia quiz.
Speaker 5: I don't know, you know what, Honestly, I'll probably fail
Speaker 5: it because I don't I'm not a trivia buff and you.
Speaker 2: Know, my mind's cloudy. But that's fine.
Speaker 5: I'll give it a shot. Yeah, because I think here's
Speaker 5: here's the problem. Let me the prefaces before wake it
Speaker 5: into it.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 5: You know people who do hosts, not the audience, but
Speaker 5: people who do sports talk radio. Not a lot of them,
Speaker 5: but some of them. And while Man's one of them,
Speaker 5: they're all objective.
Speaker 2: They think that the more.
Speaker 5: Sports I know, the better I am. All right, it
Speaker 5: doesn't work that way. I don't let you want a
Speaker 5: little secret. Sports talk hosts on radio are nothing more
Speaker 5: than a newspaper columnists behind the microphone. You go on
Speaker 5: there with an opinion about something, and you skew your opinion.
Speaker 2: That's what it is.
Speaker 5: It's not about how much sports I know.
Speaker 2: It's not about how.
Speaker 5: Many games this picture won in nineteen ninety two or
Speaker 5: who won this championship back then, because I don't need
Speaker 5: to know that.
Speaker 2: I have the computer to do that for me.
Speaker 5: But that's okay, you understand. I mean, on my deal,
Speaker 5: Are you on the same page with me with that?
Speaker 1: Oh, capeche, I get it totally. But we have opinions
Speaker 1: all the time that we fire back and forth, and
Speaker 1: there are a lot of people who listen to your
Speaker 1: takes and agree that you you don't know very much
Speaker 1: about sports, but they enjoy listening anyway, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean?
Speaker 5: No, No, you can know a lot about sports and
Speaker 5: have an opinion of sports, but you don't have to
Speaker 5: know a whole lot of intellectual statistics and records. I
Speaker 5: don't know what Ted Williams batted in nineteen fifty four?
Speaker 5: Is it important?
Speaker 4: Though it was?
Speaker 2: I google it and find out. I don't know.
Speaker 5: I think the following questions you're going to ask me,
Speaker 5: I probably don't know any of the answers because I
Speaker 5: don't care.
Speaker 2: It doesn't mean anything to me.
Speaker 5: I can't name three players in FC Cincinnati.
Speaker 2: Why I don't care? Andy.
Speaker 1: These are not sports questions. These are just current events
Speaker 1: news questions. For example, for example, at which US university
Speaker 1: did an anti war demonstration become violent in nineteen seventy
Speaker 1: Was it Harvard, Portland State, Columbia University or Kent State State? Yeah?
Speaker 1: See that's not bad, is it?
Speaker 2: It's great? So you I think this is you know what.
Speaker 5: I don't mind doing this, and even if I get
Speaker 5: it wrong, I don't mind. But I think for the
Speaker 5: listener to listen to this.
Speaker 2: Is boring, all right, but go ahead.
Speaker 1: Well this maybe this will prove I think of a.
Speaker 5: Listener all the time when I'm on the radio. If
Speaker 5: I'm a listener, I'm in my car. I put this
Speaker 5: off right now, but go ahead.
Speaker 1: During the early nineteen seventies, an eye opening trend required
Speaker 1: participants to be unclothed. The trend even made an appearance
Speaker 1: at the nineteen seventy three Oscar teleg cast. Can you
Speaker 1: name this shocking fad?
Speaker 2: Streaking?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 1: See, this is good. I mean I just wanted to
Speaker 1: check and see. Oh. In the late nineteen seventies, you
Speaker 1: probably were there. Steve Rubell opened a prominent disco in
Speaker 1: New York that became the ultimate place to be four excellent,
Speaker 1: excellent Furman scores. Again, these aren't these? Aren't that difficult?
Speaker 1: What nineteen seventy three horror movie caused theater patrons to
Speaker 1: become so scared that some of them even vomited or fainted?
Speaker 4: Was it the Ship?
Speaker 1: Was it the Shining? Was it Jaws? Was it the Exorcist?
Speaker 1: Or the Hills Have Eyes?
Speaker 2: I don't quote the Exorcist?
Speaker 1: You are correct? Oh wow, all right, let's see the line.
Speaker 1: These are the takes, These are the Campbells is from
Speaker 1: what nineteen seventies television show Chester Soap Bert or Benson.
Speaker 2: Benson. It was so.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, all right? One more the United States
Speaker 1: involvement and what conflict officially concluded on January twenty eighth,
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy three, due to the signing of the Paris
Speaker 1: Peace Agreement. Was it the Afghan War, the Iraq War,
Speaker 1: the Korean War, or the Vietnam War?
Speaker 2: The Vietnam War?
Speaker 1: Correct, you're good. See, you don't too bad with trivia.
Speaker 1: You only missed one and that was a horror movie, which.
Speaker 2: Is what was the TV show? Absolutely, it's the TV
Speaker 2: show I missed.
Speaker 1: Which is exactly what you See's football season has become
Speaker 1: a horror movie.
Speaker 5: So they I'm glad you brought that up because I
Speaker 5: can't believe what's happening there. You see football, and the
Speaker 5: question has to be asked, you know, not so much.
Speaker 5: I don't want to see a guy get fired. You
Speaker 5: never want to see some get fired, you know, just
Speaker 5: just the nature is terrible. It really is in any business.
Speaker 5: But the thing was, weren't you better off being a
Speaker 5: big fish in a little pond when you went to
Speaker 5: like the time bowl games for championships, and then when
Speaker 5: they did that. I'm not comparing coaches whatsoever. I'm just
Speaker 5: saying that you were in the AAC, the American Athletic Conference,
Speaker 5: and you dominated that. Obviously, the money wasn't as good
Speaker 5: as you're getting now in the Big twelve, but you
Speaker 5: were competitive. And right now you know you're selling out
Speaker 5: and the fans. I mean, sure, the par ticket prices
Speaker 5: are more than they were when you were.
Speaker 2: In the AAC, and you're not delivering.
Speaker 5: You were five and two with one more game to
Speaker 5: win to be a Bowl eligible, and now you're five
Speaker 5: and six. Obviously you're not gonna go to a bowl game.
Speaker 5: I just don't see it happening right now. And there's
Speaker 5: look a lot of dissension there. And here's the deal.
Speaker 5: You know, when they lost their coach, well, Luke Fickl
Speaker 5: went and obviously he's in trouble now. Chrise Wisconsin law
Speaker 5: Saturday to Nebraska and Nebraska's nothing to ride home again either.
Speaker 5: Because Nebraska finally got into a bowl game. They got
Speaker 5: there six to win on Saturday.
Speaker 2: But when Luke.
Speaker 5: Fickle left, I heard they were gonna do a nationwide search.
Speaker 5: They didn't do a nationwide search. They did an I
Speaker 5: seventy one search, They went down I seventy went to Louisville,
Speaker 5: and they got sat a Field. And I'm not saying
Speaker 5: he's the best of the worst, but you could have
Speaker 5: waited and get someone else. And now with the buyouts,
Speaker 5: I don't know if you see and the alums obviously
Speaker 5: are upset, but I don't know if the buyouts going
Speaker 5: out there they have enough money to pay this guy
Speaker 5: to go away. That's what you have to do, the
Speaker 5: buyout millions. So they're stuck with the guy. There's probably
Speaker 5: a very nice man.
Speaker 4: I wish, I.
Speaker 1: Wish, I wish I could find a job where they
Speaker 1: would pay me to go away. I got it, I
Speaker 1: got a I got a severance once and I was
Speaker 1: still on the payroll.
Speaker 5: I don't tell you that. And a lot of people
Speaker 5: that would pay who would pay you to go away,
Speaker 5: but not to work, just pay you to go away.
Speaker 1: That's very unfortunate and very unfortunate and very unkind of
Speaker 1: you to insult me in the middle of my show.
Speaker 1: That's I mean, that's what I can't believe.
Speaker 4: Let's get I.
Speaker 2: Watched the game.
Speaker 5: They lost forty one to fifteen, I know, all right.
Speaker 2: To Kansas State Kansas and.
Speaker 5: The score was worse than I actually looked at. I mean,
Speaker 5: it really was. They were down at one point in time,
Speaker 5: but with ten nothing at the first quarter, they're there
Speaker 5: like thirty nothing.
Speaker 2: That was was thirty ten.
Speaker 5: They lost, they lost the desire to play. They quit
Speaker 5: and I hate to use that word fas at least
Speaker 5: they quit, they really did. They just didn't care anymore,
Speaker 5: and I think that falls on the coach and they
Speaker 5: just they're not happy, and you're going to see not
Speaker 5: only the coach maybe getting the acts. I don't know,
Speaker 5: But the biggest problem is a lot of these players
Speaker 5: are going to go into that Portland lead. Do you
Speaker 5: start with square one all over again.
Speaker 1: There's not a lot of gamers left anymore in sports.
Speaker 1: They are very few and far between. One of those gamers,
Speaker 1: according to our previous guest, was Jonathan India and baseball,
Speaker 1: and he was just he's still hopping mad about this
Speaker 1: trade that sent India away. What did you think about
Speaker 1: the trade the Reds made?
Speaker 5: Just to say, I thought that the trade had to
Speaker 5: be done because number one, there's a backlog of infielders,
Speaker 5: including second baseman he can't play anyplace else but second base.
Speaker 5: And you're getting a guy who logged almost one hundred
Speaker 5: and eighty innings and he's going to be a workhorse.
Speaker 2: And he's a hell of a pitcher. I mean, what
Speaker 2: do you want?
Speaker 5: Pits pitching, that's what gets you done. They didn't will
Speaker 5: with Johnson. Indya, Okay, good guy, nice guy. You know
Speaker 5: he'll probably be a lead up guy over there. Career
Speaker 5: at batting average about two fifty to fifty three. I mean,
Speaker 5: he does happened to get on base, he does that,
Speaker 5: and he's a good leader. He was a really good
Speaker 5: leader and well lighting the ball club.
Speaker 2: But bye bye, there's a loggy in there. Where's he
Speaker 2: gonna play? And he just plays second base? And there's
Speaker 2: too many.
Speaker 5: They got three guys that are ready to play second base.
Speaker 5: You could have get a front line pitcher.
Speaker 2: Are you kidding?
Speaker 5: I mean, come on, that's what it's all about, now,
Speaker 5: mun This guy play a pitture one hundred seventy nine
Speaker 5: innings and struck out like one hundred and seventy seven
Speaker 5: batters and one hundred and seventy nine innings.
Speaker 2: He's a workhorse.
Speaker 1: Wildman City was closely akin to Frankie Montash.
Speaker 2: You know what the wait, Look the next game the
Speaker 2: wild Man scouts.
Speaker 5: Or the next player he signed be his first. All right,
Speaker 5: I mean I understand he's a fan. You know why
Speaker 5: he's upset. He probably has Jonathan India's bibblehead. That's why
Speaker 5: he's upset. Really, and I love the guy. I love
Speaker 5: wild Man Walker, but grow up. See what the team needs.
Speaker 5: They need pitching. You don't move without pitching and a football.
Speaker 2: You don't move around a quarterback.
Speaker 5: It's easy as that, it really is.
Speaker 1: Or or in your case and you made earlier, you don't.
Speaker 1: You don't necessarily win in the NFL without a good
Speaker 1: running back. See we've come full circle with the running back.
Speaker 5: But you look at the teams in the National Football
Speaker 5: League that don't have quarterbacks, I mean they don't win.
Speaker 5: I mean it's as easy as guy, you look at
Speaker 5: Carolina than not winning. I mean that's the way that
Speaker 5: I look at Denver. They're coming alive now. This bone
Speaker 5: Nitz is the real deal.
Speaker 2: I mean that Denver's a threat. They're good now.
Speaker 5: Brandon Payn's a hell of a coach.
Speaker 1: Brandon Allen was no brock party yesterday, and it showed
Speaker 1: ultimately in that game against Green Bay, all right, and
Speaker 1: forgot that once again. Thank you for insulting me, Thank
Speaker 1: you for telling people to turn their radios off in
Speaker 1: the middle of a bit that I to propose.
Speaker 5: To And I would you want to hear somebody like
Speaker 5: myself to cutch trivia? Come on, really, grow up to
Speaker 5: You're better than that. You are better than that.
Speaker 1: You are with a couple of drinks in me. I
Speaker 1: think it would be incredibly entertaining to listen to you
Speaker 1: do trivia. But I'm sober, all right, fur Ball, take care,
Speaker 1: all right. You can't spell furman without f you. And
Speaker 1: with that we leave you with our national anthem, the
Speaker 1: Star Spangled Banner to honor America, a full nightcap tomorrow
Speaker 1: from nine to midnight on seven hundred w l W
