1:05
Speaker 1: younger than I am, But there used to be a
1:07
Speaker 1: recurring sketch on Saturday Night Live featuring Hans and Franz,
1:12
Speaker 1: a pair of muscle bound Austrian bodybuilders in gray sweatsuits
1:17
Speaker 1: who were a spoof of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Here's a little
1:20
Speaker 1: clip from SNL.
1:22
Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome to Pumping Up with Hans and Franz,
1:26
Speaker 2: the informative training program for the serious weightlifter.
1:31
Speaker 3: Hello, let us begin by introducing ourselves.
1:33
Speaker 4: I'm Han A Domes Franz, and we want to pomp
1:37
Speaker 4: you are.
1:40
Speaker 5: A little bit about ourselves.
1:41
Speaker 4: We come to the States from a small village of
1:43
Speaker 4: aylift as in Austria.
1:45
Speaker 6: Yeah, we hope to following our cousins footsteps. The greatest
1:48
Speaker 6: bodybuild in the history of the world.
1:50
Speaker 3: Maybe you've heard of him, Honestashga.
1:54
Speaker 1: Well, as it turns out, a Hans and Franz movie
1:57
Speaker 1: was in the works in the nineteen nineties but never
1:59
Speaker 1: got made. Now, roughly thirty years later, we get to
2:02
Speaker 1: enjoy it in podcast form. Dana Carvey and Kevin Nealan,
2:07
Speaker 1: who played Hans and Franz, have teamed up with Conan
2:10
Speaker 1: O'Brien and others to read the movie script in a
2:13
Speaker 1: four part podcast. I listened to part one and laughed
2:17
Speaker 1: out loud on several occasions. Two episodes have been posted
2:21
Speaker 1: so far, and you can find them on the Conan
2:24
Speaker 1: O'Brien needs a Friend podcast. I predict that the Lost
2:29
Speaker 1: Hans and Franz movie podcast will pomp you up. Now
2:36
Speaker 1: let's get to football. We've got a fun topic to
2:39
Speaker 1: start this week's podcast, as five Cincinnati sports legends discussed
2:43
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, including two Hall of Famers, a World Series
2:46
Speaker 1: record holder, one of the best college basketball players in
2:49
Speaker 1: Cincinnati history, and a three time Pro bowler who helped
2:53
Speaker 1: change the NFL up first, twelve time Major League All Star,
2:57
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety five MVP, and Hall of Fame shortstop Barry Larkin.
3:04
Speaker 3: Barry Larkin? What do you respect about Joe Burrow?
3:06
Speaker 7: Everything?
3:07
Speaker 8: Swag, calm, under pressure, leadership, the way he's brought the
3:13
Speaker 8: city together, the fact that he is philanthropic, He's giving
3:19
Speaker 8: of his time, He's using his platform for positive everything.
3:25
Speaker 1: He's three years in. Do you have a favorite game
3:27
Speaker 1: or moment yet?
3:29
Speaker 8: I just, you know, I don't know if there's a game,
3:32
Speaker 8: you know. I watch all the games. I just love
3:36
Speaker 8: I love the turnaround that the organization has made. I
3:38
Speaker 8: love I've always been a Bengals fan. I've always represented
3:42
Speaker 8: the Colors down in Florida, and a couple of years ago,
3:47
Speaker 8: it was not so pretty the response. Now there's a
3:50
Speaker 8: lot of hooday and going on down there, and you know,
3:53
Speaker 8: I just love I mean the Kansas City game. I
3:55
Speaker 8: love the fact that they beat Kenas City in the playoffs.
3:59
Speaker 8: As I said, I just love everything. It's not just him. Obviously,
4:02
Speaker 8: he's got a great group around with DeMar Chase is
4:04
Speaker 8: a monster.
4:05
Speaker 7: T Higgins, so you know all those guys.
4:08
Speaker 1: How do you feel about the way he carries himself
4:09
Speaker 1: off the field.
4:10
Speaker 7: I think that's the biggest thing. You know, it's one
4:13
Speaker 7: of respect.
4:14
Speaker 8: And I think you know, Pete Rose told me when
4:17
Speaker 8: I came to Cincinnati just start playing as a young man.
4:19
Speaker 8: He said, you know, you got to respect the fact
4:22
Speaker 8: you're from Cincinnati and respect Cincinnati.
4:25
Speaker 7: I think he respects Cincinnati.
4:27
Speaker 1: Final question for Barry Larkin. He's twenty six, he's about
4:30
Speaker 1: to get a huge contract. Any advice for him at
4:32
Speaker 1: this stage of his life and career.
4:35
Speaker 8: Just keep doing what you're doing, you know, I no, no,
4:38
Speaker 8: it seems like he's on top of everything. You know,
4:41
Speaker 8: just stay humble and continue to do what he's doing.
4:45
Speaker 1: We go from one Hall of Famer to another. An
4:47
Speaker 1: eleven time pro bowler who is widely considered to be
4:50
Speaker 1: the greatest offensive lineman of all time. Anthony Munos, Anthony,
4:57
Speaker 1: what do you respect and admire about Joe Burrow?
5:00
Speaker 9: Well, as I watch him, his leadership, and I guess
5:03
Speaker 9: I've shared with my two grandsons, who are very involved
5:06
Speaker 9: in athletics, I said.
5:07
Speaker 3: Watch Joe.
5:08
Speaker 9: I said, watch him, not because of what he does
5:10
Speaker 9: throwing the ball or run, but watch how he handles
5:12
Speaker 9: success and adversity. He doesn't get too high, doesn't get
5:16
Speaker 9: too low. And that's what I love when a leader,
5:18
Speaker 9: a guy that you can you know that guys are
5:19
Speaker 9: going to go and just give it everything they have
5:22
Speaker 9: for him, and it's obvious just watching them. But I
5:24
Speaker 9: love the way, you know he might throw, you know,
5:26
Speaker 9: a pick, it comes right back, drives of adards, touchdown
5:28
Speaker 9: like nothing ever happened prior to that, and you can
5:31
Speaker 9: tell the guys just absolutely love them, you know, playing
5:33
Speaker 9: for him, and so his leadership. Not to mention you know,
5:37
Speaker 9: how he extends and makes plays. But I think the
5:39
Speaker 9: main thing is I watch now with guys and how
5:41
Speaker 9: they interact with coaches and players, and I watch that
5:44
Speaker 9: very closely, and again not being within the four walls
5:48
Speaker 9: all the time, but watching them during the game and
5:50
Speaker 9: how they interact, I'm very very impressed.
5:53
Speaker 1: Does he remind you of anyone you played against.
5:56
Speaker 3: Or win somewhat Boomer?
5:59
Speaker 9: I think Boomer might have been a little more animated,
6:03
Speaker 9: But you know, having played nine years with Boomer, I
6:06
Speaker 9: love playing for Boomer.
6:07
Speaker 7: I would play for him now.
6:08
Speaker 9: If we would put flag football team to guy, probably snaps,
6:11
Speaker 9: I wouldn't have to move. But no, I think he
6:14
Speaker 9: has a little bit of that. Again, I think Boomer
6:16
Speaker 9: had a little more kind of I don't know, flare
6:19
Speaker 9: to him, but definitely a great leader.
6:23
Speaker 6: The knowledge of the game.
6:24
Speaker 9: You can tell Joe is very knowledgeable as rookie, and
6:27
Speaker 9: Boomer was that way.
6:28
Speaker 7: So I'd have to say that, do.
6:30
Speaker 1: You have a favorite moment from his first three years?
6:34
Speaker 9: I guess the one I've had fun with is when
6:39
Speaker 9: he was just about ready to go out of bounds
6:41
Speaker 9: and through the touchdown pass.
6:43
Speaker 7: And and I have fun.
6:44
Speaker 9: With that because people say, well, do you think Boomer
6:46
Speaker 9: could have done that? I said, well, Boomer really never
6:48
Speaker 9: had to scramble and have to do that going out
6:50
Speaker 9: of bounds.
6:50
Speaker 7: He would just say that and people laughing. Boy, But
6:53
Speaker 7: that was.
6:53
Speaker 9: Probably the I mean the awareness of where he was
6:57
Speaker 9: and the accuracy that he threw the ball with. I
6:59
Speaker 9: guess that would be the one play that I was
7:01
Speaker 9: still Oh my, what.
7:03
Speaker 1: Do you think of the off the field Joe Burrow?
7:05
Speaker 1: The way he carries himself, the wardrobe anything, you know.
7:10
Speaker 9: It's uh. I laughed because I think I had a
7:12
Speaker 9: couple of those type of suits when I was going.
7:15
Speaker 9: I mean, you know, young guy, it's a new generation,
7:18
Speaker 9: you know, and to me, it's not my cup of tea.
7:22
Speaker 9: But you know, hey, it works for him and he
7:24
Speaker 9: looks good in it, so you know, I remember we
7:27
Speaker 9: had to get a suit. It was a navy suit
7:29
Speaker 9: and khaki pan for the lineman. It wasn't you know,
7:32
Speaker 9: the Ricky Dixon three piece and hat. But no, I
7:36
Speaker 9: have no problem with I think it's pretty cool that.
7:37
Speaker 7: He does that.
7:38
Speaker 3: Final question for Anthony Mullios.
7:40
Speaker 1: He's about to get a big contract extension, a life
7:44
Speaker 1: changing contract extension. Any advice for him at age twenty
7:48
Speaker 1: six as he enters this phase of his life.
7:50
Speaker 9: Yeah, if he needs someone to drive him around, I'd
7:52
Speaker 9: be willing to caddy for him. You know, I'd light
7:55
Speaker 9: his cigars and hold him as he putts out, you know,
7:59
Speaker 9: and I think, look that he's got you know, parents
8:01
Speaker 9: that seem to be, you know, very solid, so I
8:04
Speaker 9: think that's a key. And the very close to the family,
8:07
Speaker 9: so you know, not that he has everything together, because
8:11
Speaker 9: none of them, nobody has everything together, but I think
8:13
Speaker 9: he's sitting in a good situation to take care of
8:15
Speaker 9: what he's soon going to be getting here from from
8:18
Speaker 9: the Bengals organization. So you know, just a family and uh,
8:23
Speaker 9: you know, make sure you stay tight with that and
8:25
Speaker 9: uh and don't do anything crazy, in which I doubt
8:28
Speaker 9: that he'll do.
8:30
Speaker 1: Our next Cincinnati Sports great spent twelve years in Major
8:33
Speaker 1: League Baseball, including three seasons in Cincinnati, and him an
8:37
Speaker 1: Iteen ninety World Series. He set a record by having
8:39
Speaker 1: hits in seven straight at bats. Outfielder Billy Hatcher. Billy Hatcher,
8:46
Speaker 1: what do you respect and admire about Joe Burrow.
8:49
Speaker 10: I mean, he's a winner, he's a leader.
8:52
Speaker 11: Uh, Cincinnati's been looking for someone like that for a
8:55
Speaker 11: long long time.
8:56
Speaker 10: And you know, plus he's a good person.
8:58
Speaker 11: I mean, you know, he uh, he represents the state
9:02
Speaker 11: of Ohio and the city of Cincinnati. He represents us
9:05
Speaker 11: very very well. Just keep on going and hey, we
9:08
Speaker 11: want to see us back in the super Bowl.
9:10
Speaker 1: Do you have a favorite Burrow moment game, anything that
9:13
Speaker 1: stands out?
9:14
Speaker 3: No.
9:14
Speaker 11: I just like to watch him play. I mean he
9:16
Speaker 11: plays with so much heart. I mean, you see even
9:19
Speaker 11: when the team is going bad, you know, he always
9:22
Speaker 11: finds a way to lift him up. And when they're down,
9:25
Speaker 11: he finds a way to make it interesting.
9:27
Speaker 10: And when they're winning, he knows how to finish it off.
9:29
Speaker 1: Is there anybody from your sport that he reminds you
9:34
Speaker 1: of in any way?
9:35
Speaker 11: It's very It's very hard to say because as a quarterback,
9:39
Speaker 11: you can control a lot of things. You know, pretty
9:42
Speaker 11: much only in baseball the one person that can control
9:45
Speaker 11: something is pretty much the picture. So you know, I
9:49
Speaker 11: would say he's like with me, He's like a Nolan Ryan,
9:52
Speaker 11: and Nolan Ryan, when you needed him the most, he
9:54
Speaker 11: was always there.
9:56
Speaker 1: What do you think of Joe Burrow off the field?
9:59
Speaker 10: He's not in the paper for anything negative.
10:01
Speaker 11: You know, when you're a superstar, when you're a Joe Burrows,
10:04
Speaker 11: a person like him, you know you always have something
10:07
Speaker 11: that they've done. But this guy, I mean, you never
10:09
Speaker 11: hear anything the only thing you hear about him is
10:11
Speaker 11: good things, and that's a good thing about it.
10:14
Speaker 1: He's twenty six, he's three years into his career. He's
10:17
Speaker 1: about to become very, very wealthy. Any advice for him
10:20
Speaker 1: going forward at this stage of his life and his career.
10:23
Speaker 10: Don't change. He got you this for it. You're good people.
10:26
Speaker 10: You're a good person, You're a good leader.
10:28
Speaker 11: The city of Cincinnati loves you, and I know you
10:31
Speaker 11: love Cincinnati.
10:32
Speaker 10: I know you love Ohio. Just keep being Joe.
10:35
Speaker 1: Up next, the College Football Hall of Famer who is
10:38
Speaker 1: drafted by the Bengals in nineteen eighty six and helped
10:41
Speaker 1: change the game by playing safety with a linebacker's physique.
10:46
Speaker 1: Three time Pro Bowler David Fulcher, David, what do you
10:50
Speaker 1: respect about Joe Burrow?
10:53
Speaker 7: Everything?
10:54
Speaker 12: And I know that's pretty big, big wide, but what
10:57
Speaker 12: I respect about this kid is just the novel edge
11:00
Speaker 12: of not just playing football, but the knowledge of a
11:04
Speaker 12: human being. He brings something to Cincinnati that we've been
11:09
Speaker 12: missing for a very very long time. And I played
11:11
Speaker 12: with Kenny, one year with Kenny and then my career
11:14
Speaker 12: with Boomer. Just the presence of him being there, he's
11:19
Speaker 12: to me, he's an offensive coordinator on the football field.
11:24
Speaker 12: He's a quarterback, we all know that, but he's an
11:26
Speaker 12: oc of doing great things and he's a great man
11:30
Speaker 12: for the city of Cincinnati, and he just puts a
11:33
Speaker 12: lot out there that if I was if I had
11:37
Speaker 12: a kid that was growing up and wanted to be
11:39
Speaker 12: like their daddy David, I would want them to be.
11:41
Speaker 7: Like Joe Burrow.
11:42
Speaker 1: About the highest praise you can give somebody. Does he
11:44
Speaker 1: remind you of anybody you played with or against?
11:48
Speaker 7: He's out there with a bunch of people.
11:50
Speaker 12: Man, you know, the savvy of Tom Brady, the no
11:54
Speaker 12: how and the will to get it done in Joe Montana,
11:59
Speaker 12: the guts and the grid of Jim McMahon, and the
12:05
Speaker 12: hurry up and do what I tell you to do
12:07
Speaker 12: and Boomera sizing.
12:09
Speaker 1: A laundry list of great guys. Do you have a
12:12
Speaker 1: favorite moment from his first three years?
12:15
Speaker 7: Wow?
12:16
Speaker 12: I know this may sound crazy. It's a favorite moment
12:20
Speaker 12: of him getting hurt and watching him on that stretcher
12:27
Speaker 12: being taken off and he put the finger up and
12:30
Speaker 12: the thumbs up and said I'll.
12:31
Speaker 5: Be back.
12:33
Speaker 12: That and just every time he sees the feeld. You know,
12:37
Speaker 12: I think one of them was a good one where
12:39
Speaker 12: I think it. I don't know if it was against
12:41
Speaker 12: the Raiders in the playoffs, so maybe it was Kansas
12:43
Speaker 12: City where he was. He was scrambling, did all these
12:46
Speaker 12: kind of circles and rolled out to the right, ran
12:49
Speaker 12: for the first down and got up with the ball
12:51
Speaker 12: in his hand and flipped it a little bit.
12:53
Speaker 7: You know.
12:53
Speaker 12: Most people call that cocky. I called it confidence. And
12:57
Speaker 12: the kids remarkable. What do you think of they? He
13:00
Speaker 12: carries himself off the field.
13:03
Speaker 7: This is where I when I say a twenty five
13:05
Speaker 7: year old.
13:06
Speaker 12: If that's his age, twenty six now, twenty six now,
13:09
Speaker 12: the twenty six year old handles pressure like the forty
13:15
Speaker 12: five year old guy and Tom Brady. Off the field,
13:19
Speaker 12: he's very he's quiet. I don't know if he really
13:23
Speaker 12: likes to be interviewed. And I kind of watch him sometime.
13:26
Speaker 12: He looks like he's shy, but he's about business. When
13:30
Speaker 12: he goes to work with the Bengals, he goes to work.
13:33
Speaker 12: When work is over, he goes home and it's he's
13:36
Speaker 12: relaxing now and not too many twenty six year olds
13:40
Speaker 12: think that way.
13:41
Speaker 1: Last thing for the great David Fulcher, he's about to
13:43
Speaker 1: get paid. It's going to be a fifty million dollar
13:46
Speaker 1: a year man. Any advice for him at age twenty
13:49
Speaker 1: six about to land a deal like.
13:51
Speaker 12: That, Well, you know, I think he's smart enough, and
13:53
Speaker 12: he's got a great family background and good backing and
13:56
Speaker 12: good support of people around him. Yeah, it's a lot
13:59
Speaker 12: of money. I've actually kind of been around and listened
14:03
Speaker 12: to him and maybe talked to him. I don't think
14:05
Speaker 12: he's really concerned about the money. I think he's more
14:07
Speaker 12: concerned about the weapons that he's got around him. So
14:11
Speaker 12: distribute that money to them weapons. Give me a little bit,
14:13
Speaker 12: even though I know the NFLPA won't allow him to
14:16
Speaker 12: take less. But I don't think it's going to change
14:20
Speaker 12: his mind. I think he's still going to play because
14:21
Speaker 12: he wants to win championship. So whether it's fifty million
14:24
Speaker 12: or thirty million, he's still gonna get the job done.
14:28
Speaker 1: Our fifth and final Cincinnati Sports Legend a weigh in
14:30
Speaker 1: on Joe Burrow is one of the area's all time
14:33
Speaker 1: best college basketball players, the all time leading scorer at Xavier,
14:37
Speaker 1: where his number twenty three is retired Byron Larkin. Byron Larkin,
14:44
Speaker 1: what do you respect about Joe.
14:45
Speaker 13: Burrow won, his obvious talent, his winning attitude, what he
14:52
Speaker 13: has brought back to the city. You know, we've had
14:55
Speaker 13: number you know, first round draft choices obviously every year,
14:59
Speaker 13: but he has seemed to be able to galvanize the
15:03
Speaker 13: city because I mean, he's one of the best players
15:06
Speaker 13: in the game, and it's just wonderful to see. I
15:10
Speaker 13: love his humility, he doesn't seem to be all about him,
15:16
Speaker 13: and I just you know, I love his talent, I
15:18
Speaker 13: love his attitude.
15:20
Speaker 1: Does he remind you of anybody from your sport?
15:24
Speaker 7: You know?
15:24
Speaker 13: You know, Lebron James is obviously a super talented guy
15:28
Speaker 13: and seems to be very humble and very sharing with
15:31
Speaker 13: his gifts and his you know, ability to be active
15:36
Speaker 13: in the community. You know, I see Joe as kind
15:41
Speaker 13: of that kind of guy off the court. Now it
15:44
Speaker 13: remains to be seen if he's one of the best
15:47
Speaker 13: to ever put on a uniform, but boy, he certainly
15:50
Speaker 13: has a great start, no doubt, and it's wonderful that
15:53
Speaker 13: what he's brought to the city and winning, you know,
15:56
Speaker 13: winning is the best and is the best thing, and
16:00
Speaker 13: he's been the core of that for the Bengals, and
16:05
Speaker 13: it's just united the city and it's just great.
16:07
Speaker 1: Do you have a favorite game or moment so far?
16:10
Speaker 13: There will be multiple moments. I like when the chips
16:14
Speaker 13: are down, you know, it's the last two minutes, they
16:17
Speaker 13: need to score. Everybody knows what he's gonna do, yet
16:21
Speaker 13: he's still able to do it. You know, multiple games,
16:24
Speaker 13: you know, was it Kansas City last couple of years
16:27
Speaker 13: of the Kansas City playoff game? It just multiple situations.
16:32
Speaker 13: Being able to rise to the top in the biggest situations.
16:37
Speaker 13: It's truly the mark of a great player. And I
16:39
Speaker 13: think that's what he is.
16:40
Speaker 1: What do you think of off the field Joe Burrow, Well.
16:43
Speaker 13: I don't know much about that. I just know he's
16:45
Speaker 13: from Athens, Ohio. I heard he was a really great
16:47
Speaker 13: basketball player in high school, like most athletes, but I
16:53
Speaker 13: liked his humility. He seems to be a guy not
16:58
Speaker 13: all about him. That he's very fortunate and he wants
17:02
Speaker 13: to share his influence and gifts with the people around him,
17:06
Speaker 13: and those are the great kind of people that you
17:08
Speaker 13: want to look up to.
17:09
Speaker 1: He's twenty six, it's about to get paid. Any advice
17:13
Speaker 1: for Joe Burrow.
17:14
Speaker 13: Just be humble man, don't let you know don't don't
17:18
Speaker 13: make the money man.
17:19
Speaker 7: Don't let the money make him.
17:20
Speaker 13: Man make the money man.
17:22
Speaker 14: Just don't get out.
17:22
Speaker 7: Of his lane.
17:24
Speaker 13: And just you know, just just have some sense about him,
17:27
Speaker 13: you know, just because you see a lot of times
17:29
Speaker 13: and people get paid, I mean getting paid. It's just
17:32
Speaker 13: a different deal now, three four hundred million dollar contracts.
17:36
Speaker 13: It's it's hard to blow that kind of money. But
17:40
Speaker 13: I think if Joe is how he seems, family around him,
17:45
Speaker 13: good common sense, just keep his wits about him, I
17:49
Speaker 13: think he'll be fine.
17:49
Speaker 7: Obviously.

18:18
Speaker 1: Cjuzaba had forty nine catches for four hundred ninety three yards.
18:23
Speaker 1: Last year, hayden Hurst had very similar stats with fifty
18:26
Speaker 1: two catches for four fourteen. The Bengals are hoping that
18:31
Speaker 1: free agent IRV Smith Junior can provide similar production, but
18:35
Speaker 1: he's not the only tight end on the roster. Drew
18:38
Speaker 1: Sample is back for a fifth season in Cincinnati, as
18:41
Speaker 1: he signed a one year contract after missing nearly all
18:44
Speaker 1: of last year with a knee injury. And while Drew
18:47
Speaker 1: is known primarily for his blocking, he did have forty
18:51
Speaker 1: catches back in twenty twenty. I caught up with him
18:54
Speaker 1: in the Bengals locker room. Let's start physically, How are.
18:59
Speaker 6: You feeling good?
19:00
Speaker 15: Yeah, I think I'm about seven or so months obviously
19:03
Speaker 15: from the knee that happened Game two, but I'm pretty
19:07
Speaker 15: much doing everything now. It's just you know, being smart
19:09
Speaker 15: and making sure I'm you know, staying on track to
19:11
Speaker 15: where I've been.
19:12
Speaker 1: I probably created some uncertainty in your own mind for
19:16
Speaker 1: where you were going to be, what was going to
19:17
Speaker 1: happen going forward. How How do you feel about the
19:19
Speaker 1: way things worked out?
19:20
Speaker 15: Yeah, I'm obviously super glad to be back. You know,
19:23
Speaker 15: it's been my home in the last four years. You know,
19:25
Speaker 15: familiar with the team, the staff, and you know, to
19:28
Speaker 15: go through what we went through, you know for my
19:30
Speaker 15: first year, you know, to getting Joe to Super Bowl
19:32
Speaker 15: AFC all that. You know, I felt like there was
19:35
Speaker 15: definitely you know, unfinished business, and I feel like the
19:37
Speaker 15: team is, you know, as it has been the last
19:39
Speaker 15: two years, trending in the direction, and so you know,
19:42
Speaker 15: obviously I was I was very happy to be back.
19:44
Speaker 1: I thought you were off to a good start last year.
19:46
Speaker 1: Did you feel that way and did that make it
19:48
Speaker 1: that much more difficult to have to miss the bulk
19:50
Speaker 1: of the season.
19:51
Speaker 14: Yeah, I felt like I was in a good spot
19:52
Speaker 14: last year.
19:53
Speaker 15: You know, I had a good camp, you know, didn't
19:55
Speaker 15: do any preseason, and so then you know, coming to
19:57
Speaker 15: Stewers game, I felt like I was getting my you know,
20:00
Speaker 15: getting back into the rim of things. And then, like
20:02
Speaker 15: you said, the Dallas game, was felt good you know
20:04
Speaker 15: at the start, and then obviously, you know, injuries happen. Unfortunately,
20:07
Speaker 15: that's part of the game. So then you know, just
20:10
Speaker 15: attacked rehab. No one else be back for this season somewhere,
20:13
Speaker 15: and so I'm just glad to be back here and
20:15
Speaker 15: and back you know kind of doing you know, getting
20:18
Speaker 15: healthy and doing everything I need to be doing.
20:20
Speaker 1: So in the weeks leading up to the draft, Zach
20:23
Speaker 1: Taylor and Duke Tobin said, we feel really good about
20:26
Speaker 1: our tight end group. We love having Irv Smith here,
20:28
Speaker 1: we like having Drew Sample back.
20:31
Speaker 3: And then in the.
20:31
Speaker 1: Draft they did not select any tight ends. Was that
20:34
Speaker 1: an even bigger sign than hearing those words that the
20:37
Speaker 1: Bengals have faith and trust in you guys?
20:40
Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean you look at the draft and you
20:42
Speaker 15: know they're you know, they've been really good at that
20:45
Speaker 15: and you know, I let them do their things, so
20:47
Speaker 15: you know, that's obviously great to hear.
20:48
Speaker 14: But you know, we're always, you know, open.
20:50
Speaker 15: Trying to make this team as good as possible, so
20:52
Speaker 15: that you know, if there's a tight end Billable that
20:54
Speaker 15: they thought could make our team better than you know,
20:55
Speaker 15: I'm all for that. So but no, I mean, I
20:58
Speaker 15: think we have a good room. I think we got
20:59
Speaker 15: guys with good experience and obviously James you know, being
21:02
Speaker 15: our coach like he's you know, he's been a fantastic coach,
21:05
Speaker 15: and you know, we have a really good feel in
21:07
Speaker 15: this offense for the things that we need to do
21:09
Speaker 15: to you know, be successful as an offense and as
21:11
Speaker 15: a team. So you know, I feel I feel like
21:13
Speaker 15: we're in a good spot for that.
21:15
Speaker 1: Did you know much about IRV before he joined the team.
21:18
Speaker 14: Yeah, I'd met him a couple of times. I think
21:20
Speaker 14: Nashville tighten.
21:21
Speaker 15: You you know, obviously we're from the same draft class,
21:24
Speaker 15: so I had seen him here and there. You know,
21:27
Speaker 15: I can't remember if we had talked or not, but
21:28
Speaker 15: he's an awesome dude. Just being next to him right now,
21:30
Speaker 15: you know, I'm excited for him to, you know, get
21:33
Speaker 15: with Joe, get with the team, get with the offense,
21:34
Speaker 15: because I think our team is a special team, just
21:37
Speaker 15: the camaraderie we have and you know, such a great
21:39
Speaker 15: locker room.
21:39
Speaker 14: So I'm excited to have him be a part of that.
21:41
Speaker 1: What is it about James Casey that helps develop tight
21:45
Speaker 1: ends to take that next step?
21:46
Speaker 15: I just think his experience of you know, having done
21:49
Speaker 15: it at a high level, you know, in the NFL.
21:52
Speaker 15: I think he just has a better understanding, you know,
21:56
Speaker 15: of the game and of the tight end position. And
21:58
Speaker 15: I think, you know, it's great for us, us because
22:00
Speaker 15: he doesn't ask us to do anything that you know,
22:02
Speaker 15: he's really never done himself. So you know that that
22:04
Speaker 15: gives you a lot of confidence, you know, if he
22:06
Speaker 15: does ask you to you know, you know, we have
22:07
Speaker 15: to do a lot of things in the in the
22:09
Speaker 15: past game run game, you know, pass pro stuff like that.
22:11
Speaker 15: And so he, you know, he's been around a lot
22:13
Speaker 15: of good players, whether that's you know, receivers, tight ends,
22:16
Speaker 15: o lineman, and so he just has a he has
22:18
Speaker 15: a really good knowledge of the game. And on top
22:20
Speaker 15: of that, you know, he's you know, he studies film
22:22
Speaker 15: like no one else.
22:23
Speaker 14: He helps us with cutups.
22:24
Speaker 15: He you know, really tries to give us a full understanding,
22:27
Speaker 15: you know, of our offense, of defenses and things like that.
22:29
Speaker 15: So I feel like that's been you know, such a
22:31
Speaker 15: great you know, person to have in our room because
22:34
Speaker 15: he really is. It really helps with everything and it helps,
22:36
Speaker 15: you know, the game slow down, and it helps you
22:39
Speaker 15: just allows us as tight ends just to go out
22:40
Speaker 15: and play fast.
22:41
Speaker 3: Good to catch up.
22:42
Speaker 1: Best of luck, kind of healthy and productive season.
22:44
Speaker 14: Yeah, thank you, I appreciate it.

23:03
Speaker 1: ten minutes or so, I'm about to give you the
23:05
Speaker 1: answers to a good trivia question. Name the six players
23:09
Speaker 1: on the Bengals current roster who have earned Super Bowl Rings.
23:14
Speaker 1: Here's how I'm going to do it. I thought it
23:16
Speaker 1: would be fun to talk to each of them about
23:18
Speaker 1: their rings, so we'll go in chronological order. Up first
23:24
Speaker 1: quarterback Trevor Simeon. He was a rookie with Denver in
23:27
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen when the Broncos beat the Panthers in Super
23:30
Speaker 1: Bowl fifty, appearing in one regular season game that year.
23:36
Speaker 1: Do you remember your emotions when you received it?
23:39
Speaker 5: I do, very special moment.
23:41
Speaker 2: You know, you remember all the teams you're on, but
23:43
Speaker 2: certainly there's something a little different about everybody in the
23:46
Speaker 2: same room. I think we opened up like a shiny
23:48
Speaker 2: box and you get this big ring. Very cool moment
23:52
Speaker 2: shared it with you know, teammates all have a special
23:55
Speaker 2: bond with for the rest of my life.
23:57
Speaker 1: Do you break it out for any occasions?
24:00
Speaker 2: It's currently in a safety deposit box in Minnesota. I
24:04
Speaker 2: think my father in law put it there, so no,
24:07
Speaker 2: I don't wear it much like out.
24:08
Speaker 5: To the bar or anything.
24:11
Speaker 2: I need to get it though, and bring it out
24:13
Speaker 2: one or two times shortly here.
24:15
Speaker 5: I think it'd be good.
24:16
Speaker 3: They're so big they're hard to wear.
24:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, not subtle, So I don't, you know, I don't.
24:21
Speaker 2: I don't know where exactly i'd wear it, and maybe
24:23
Speaker 2: not out to dinner with my wife or anything. But
24:25
Speaker 2: uh yeah, I'm sure there's there's some good occasions. I
24:28
Speaker 2: gotta I gotta break it out.
24:29
Speaker 5: Though.
24:29
Speaker 1: They try to give these rings some sort of unique
24:32
Speaker 1: feature that means something to the players and coaches. There
24:34
Speaker 1: is there anything about that Broncos ring that they added
24:37
Speaker 1: to it as saying or some element of the design
24:40
Speaker 1: that's especially meaningful.
24:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think on ours we had the you know,
24:44
Speaker 2: this one's for Pat, a late Pat bowling, which was
24:47
Speaker 2: pretty cool. I thought, so, yeah, that was our special thing.
24:50
Speaker 2: But shoot, it's been it's been so long since I've
24:52
Speaker 2: seen it or brought it out. I don't know much
24:54
Speaker 2: other than that about it.
24:55
Speaker 1: Yes, it's your most prized possession, most.
24:58
Speaker 5: Prime prize possession.
25:00
Speaker 1: Ah, No, something else come to mind.
25:06
Speaker 2: It's up there. If my wife's listening to this, it's
25:10
Speaker 2: my wedding ring.
25:13
Speaker 3: Mississimeian.
25:14
Speaker 1: I hope you approve of that answer.
25:16
Speaker 14: Yeah, that's right.
25:18
Speaker 1: The following year, Ted Karris earned the first of two
25:21
Speaker 1: Super Bowl rings with the Patriots. He was on the
25:23
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen team that rallied from a twenty eight to
25:26
Speaker 1: three deficit to beat Atlanta and earned another ring two
25:30
Speaker 1: years later win New England beat the Rams. Ted, you
25:34
Speaker 1: remember the feeling when you got the first one?
25:37
Speaker 6: I do you feel like a king of the world.
25:40
Speaker 16: You know, that first year was kind of along for
25:42
Speaker 16: the ride, but I had a couple of starts in
25:44
Speaker 16: New England. But then the one, the second one we won,
25:47
Speaker 16: you know, really contributed to that team, felt more of
25:49
Speaker 16: a part of it. But it's an unbelievable feeling to
25:51
Speaker 16: the culmination of so much hard work. To be a
25:54
Speaker 16: champion is a rare feeling, and we need to get
25:56
Speaker 16: an orange one.
25:57
Speaker 1: How often do you break them out and what type
26:01
Speaker 1: of occasions would you pull your Super Bowl rings out for?
26:04
Speaker 16: I'll break them out upon request or usually when I
26:07
Speaker 16: go to a school, if I'm talking to a school
26:09
Speaker 16: or a group of kids, or any type of you know,
26:13
Speaker 16: charity function that those are usually the time it comes out.
26:15
Speaker 14: They come out.
26:16
Speaker 1: Are there any particular features about yours that you really
26:19
Speaker 1: find cool?
26:21
Speaker 16: I think that those last two in New England, they
26:23
Speaker 16: really you know, went all out, so there's there's a
26:25
Speaker 16: lot of diamonds on there, So nothing like that. But
26:28
Speaker 16: you know, seeing you know, just seeing a Lombardi in
26:31
Speaker 16: a diamond is very special, and I.
26:33
Speaker 14: Think the ring symbolizes so much.
26:34
Speaker 16: It's a you know, football is a yearly proposition and
26:37
Speaker 16: to be a to be a champion is something that
26:39
Speaker 16: you can never take for granted and they can never
26:40
Speaker 16: take away from you. But you know, we're not we're
26:43
Speaker 16: not really focusing on those we need to. We need
26:45
Speaker 16: to focus on putting ourselves in a position to get
26:47
Speaker 16: another one.
26:48
Speaker 1: Are that your most prized possessions?
26:51
Speaker 14: Absolutely?
26:51
Speaker 16: Most prize by far.
26:54
Speaker 1: Ted actually played in three straight Super Bowls with the Patriots.
26:57
Speaker 1: In twenty seventeen, he was on the loop end when
27:01
Speaker 1: the Eagles Philly specialed their way to a forty one
27:04
Speaker 1: to thirty three win. Bengals newcomer Sidney Jones the Fourth
27:09
Speaker 1: was a rookie with Philadelphia that year. He was coming
27:12
Speaker 1: back from a torn achilles that he suffered at his
27:14
Speaker 1: pro day and made his NFL debut in the Eagles
27:18
Speaker 1: final regular season game that year, Sidney, do you remember
27:23
Speaker 1: the emotion of receiving that Super Bowl ring?
27:27
Speaker 14: Yeah?
27:27
Speaker 6: It was.
27:28
Speaker 4: It was definitely a crazy, crazy experience in general, but
27:33
Speaker 4: even just the moment when we won, just sprinting on
27:36
Speaker 4: the field and just celebrating with you know, with the
27:40
Speaker 4: teammates and everybody.
27:42
Speaker 6: Just just looking at the journey and like it's.
27:45
Speaker 4: All it's also surreal, but just receiving it, it was
27:49
Speaker 4: just like more surreal, like whoa.
27:51
Speaker 5: Like this is is?
27:52
Speaker 6: Actually I got a Super Bowl ring?
27:54
Speaker 4: Like now, you know, it's just another huge piece of memorabilia,
27:58
Speaker 4: biggest one ever probably.
28:00
Speaker 6: So it was just a cool thing.
28:02
Speaker 5: You know.
28:03
Speaker 1: Do you ever wear it? Do you break it out
28:05
Speaker 1: for special occasions? Do you show it to kids when
28:08
Speaker 1: you speak to groups? How do you use your Super
28:10
Speaker 1: Bowl ring?
28:11
Speaker 3: If at all? Rarely?
28:13
Speaker 4: Rarely, rarely, rarely, rarely ever where. I actually wore it
28:17
Speaker 4: once this year for the first time in about six
28:20
Speaker 4: seven years, and that was at a wedding. So it
28:25
Speaker 4: usually stays tucking to safe and never sees light.
28:29
Speaker 1: Are there any features about that Eagles ring that you
28:33
Speaker 1: find especially cool or interesting? Something about the design or
28:37
Speaker 1: something that's inscribed on it.
28:39
Speaker 4: Not really, it might have, it might have. I think
28:43
Speaker 4: I don't. I think I forgot. I might have something
28:47
Speaker 4: inscribed on like a model that we were saying that year,
28:49
Speaker 4: maybe hungry dogs running faster or something like that.
28:52
Speaker 3: Natually special. Maybe that too.
28:55
Speaker 6: This is something, it's something that was you know, that
28:57
Speaker 6: stuck with us.
28:58
Speaker 1: Is it your most prized bazi A Not really.
29:02
Speaker 4: Uh, I'm not a big possession guy. And also part
29:07
Speaker 4: maybe partially because I didn't really have too much input
29:11
Speaker 4: on the field, and you know, in that type.
29:14
Speaker 6: Of way I was on the team.
29:15
Speaker 3: I have a Super Bowl ring.
29:17
Speaker 4: So maybe if I get one, I'm playing, I'm you know,
29:21
Speaker 4: doing my thing and teams doing their thing.
29:23
Speaker 6: It all comes together. That makes it like a thousand
29:26
Speaker 6: times more special.
29:27
Speaker 3: So February of this year.
29:29
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, that's the goal.
29:31
Speaker 1: Tom Brady was on the losing end of that Super Bowl,
29:34
Speaker 1: but he came back to win a ring the following
29:36
Speaker 1: year in New England and then one another two years
29:39
Speaker 1: later in Tampa Bay, where his teammates included Alex Kappa. Alex,
29:45
Speaker 1: do you remember the moment that you received yours and
29:48
Speaker 1: then what the emotions were like?
29:51
Speaker 9: Uh?
29:51
Speaker 17: Yeah, it's pretty cool. It's a pretty extravagant ring, so
29:55
Speaker 17: it was pretty cool to get a cool little ceremony celebrations.
30:00
Speaker 1: Do you break it out and what occasions would you
30:03
Speaker 1: pull it out for?
30:04
Speaker 17: I've never worn it for an occasion. I mean, when
30:09
Speaker 17: I get another one, I'll throw it on.
30:11
Speaker 1: Are there any specific features of that Buck super Bowl
30:14
Speaker 1: ring that you like or found cool?
30:17
Speaker 3: Oh?
30:17
Speaker 9: Yeah?
30:17
Speaker 17: The top comes off, so you unscrew the top and
30:19
Speaker 17: then in there's like the stadium inside. I think some
30:22
Speaker 17: teams have done that since then, but I think we
30:24
Speaker 17: were the first one.
30:26
Speaker 1: Is it but your most prized possession?
30:28
Speaker 9: No?
30:29
Speaker 1: What do you value more?
30:31
Speaker 5: I don't know?
30:31
Speaker 7: My dog?
30:33
Speaker 10: It's cool, but like.
30:35
Speaker 17: This is a symbol, you know.
30:38
Speaker 1: Our hero to dog lovers everywhere, Alex Kappa. In twenty
30:42
Speaker 1: twenty one, safety Nick Scott earned a Super Bowl ring
30:46
Speaker 1: at the Bengals expense. After only starting one regular season
30:50
Speaker 1: game in his first three seasons, he started all four
30:54
Speaker 1: postseason games in helping the Rams win the Super Bowl.
30:59
Speaker 3: Yet.
30:59
Speaker 1: Do you remember thee when you received it?
31:02
Speaker 5: Oh?
31:02
Speaker 18: Man, Yeah, I was just I don't know how to
31:05
Speaker 18: describe it. I was overwhelmed, but I wasn't overwhelmed. I
31:10
Speaker 18: was shocked, but I wasn't shocked, and I was just
31:13
Speaker 18: extremely happy and just felt extreme feelings of just being
31:18
Speaker 18: blessed and just thankful for the opportunity I had to
31:22
Speaker 18: not only play in the super Bowl but be a starter.
31:25
Speaker 1: Do you wear it? Do you show it off? If so,
31:28
Speaker 1: what are the occasions?
31:30
Speaker 18: So I haven't worried to an occasion yet. I thought
31:32
Speaker 18: about wearing it to somebody's wedding. I decided not to
31:35
Speaker 18: because I didn't want to, you know, distract anybody from
31:39
Speaker 18: you know, their event.
31:41
Speaker 5: So I haven't. I haven't worre it yet, but.
31:45
Speaker 18: I do put it on from time to time, just
31:47
Speaker 18: around the house and just kind of look at it
31:49
Speaker 18: on my finger and then throw it back in the
31:51
Speaker 18: box and think, man, that was cool, and then get on.
31:54
Speaker 5: With my day.
31:55
Speaker 18: But it's awesome to have. I kind of keep it
31:58
Speaker 18: out in my house. Nothing like too flashy or anything
32:01
Speaker 18: like that, but it's definitely something that family members are
32:05
Speaker 18: excited to see and put on and everything like that.
32:08
Speaker 1: Teams try to have some sort of feature that unique.
32:11
Speaker 1: It might be a saying that meant something to the team,
32:14
Speaker 1: that might be some sort of statistic or something. Is
32:17
Speaker 1: there something about the Rams ring that's especially meaningful to you?
32:22
Speaker 18: You can, obviously, you can unscrew the top and you
32:24
Speaker 18: have the makeup of Sofi Stadium, which is really cool.
32:29
Speaker 5: But I think the coolest part is if.
32:31
Speaker 18: You take the top off and you flip the top
32:34
Speaker 18: and look inside the top, there's a little bit of
32:36
Speaker 18: a piece of the game ball from the Super Bowl
32:39
Speaker 18: that's that's kind of stuck in there.
32:41
Speaker 5: So that's definitely cool.
32:43
Speaker 18: Everybody got the game ball, which is a kind of
32:47
Speaker 18: great thing to look at and think of. So that's
32:50
Speaker 18: probably my favorite part about it.
32:51
Speaker 1: Final question, is it your most prized possession?
32:55
Speaker 5: My most prized possession?
32:57
Speaker 18: That's a good question, I think, I think so, I
33:01
Speaker 18: think so yeah, I'll say I'll go with that for now.
33:04
Speaker 5: Most prized possession.
33:05
Speaker 18: I was gonna say my son, but that's not really
33:08
Speaker 18: like a possession.
33:09
Speaker 5: That's more like a loved one. So yeah, I think
33:12
Speaker 5: the ring takes the.
33:13
Speaker 1: Cake Alex Kappa set his dog, but I think that's
33:16
Speaker 1: kind of the same thing.
33:17
Speaker 3: It's a living creature.
33:18
Speaker 18: It's a living creature that's not necessarily like an object
33:22
Speaker 18: or anything like that. I know my wife would kill
33:24
Speaker 18: me if I said her like, I'm not an object,
33:27
Speaker 18: but uh yeah, the ring definitely. It's definitely probably one
33:30
Speaker 18: of the most expensive objects I have, besides maybe a house.
33:36
Speaker 1: There's one final Super Bowl champ on the current roster,
33:40
Speaker 1: Orlando Brown Junior, who helped the Chiefs beat Philly last February.
33:46
Speaker 1: All right, Orlando, You're a little bit different from the
33:47
Speaker 1: guys that I've talked to because you have not received
33:50
Speaker 1: yours yet. June fifteenth is the big day. Do you
33:53
Speaker 1: know anything about what it's going to look like? Have
33:56
Speaker 1: you seen, you know, artist's renderings or anything.
33:59
Speaker 6: I haven't.
34:00
Speaker 19: Honestly, I have no idea what the ring is gonna
34:01
Speaker 19: look like. I imagine it'll be pretty big, man. Uh
34:04
Speaker 19: you know, obviously, man, it's It's a ton of great
34:06
Speaker 19: franchises in this in this league, and you know, getting one,
34:09
Speaker 19: winning one of Kansas City City was pretty special, man.
34:12
Speaker 19: Having that opportunity to go out there and do it
34:14
Speaker 19: for a great franchise like that, Man, it was pretty cool.
34:16
Speaker 19: And you know, I'm sure that ring will be pretty special.
34:19
Speaker 1: Ever held one from another team.
34:21
Speaker 19: This will be my first time.
34:22
Speaker 6: Man.
34:22
Speaker 19: I wanted it to be like that, you know, I've
34:24
Speaker 19: I've never I had never even visited a Super Bowl.
34:27
Speaker 14: Man.
34:27
Speaker 19: I had opportunities to go to go to games and
34:29
Speaker 19: go experience it, but you know, man, I really wanted
34:32
Speaker 19: to be able to take it all in for the
34:33
Speaker 19: first time as a player.
34:34
Speaker 6: And uh no, So I've never held a ring.
34:38
Speaker 1: Do you see yourself wearing it, showing it off, pulling
34:42
Speaker 1: it out for special occasions?
34:43
Speaker 3: Do you know?
34:44
Speaker 19: At this point, I don't. I don't, Man, I'm gonna
34:46
Speaker 19: be honest with you. I think you know, for me, man,
34:49
Speaker 19: I I've kind of already you know, moved forward into
34:52
Speaker 19: you know, what I want to do this year, and
34:54
Speaker 19: you know, to me, being able to bring a ring
34:57
Speaker 19: here to Cincinnati is important. And uh man, that's something
35:00
Speaker 19: that you know, with this franchise being a franchise that
35:03
Speaker 19: gave me the opportunity to really be who I want
35:06
Speaker 19: to be as a franchise left tackle. Man, I think
35:09
Speaker 19: it would mean so much to me to be able
35:10
Speaker 19: to do that, and so, you know, I mean, that's
35:12
Speaker 19: really what's been on my mind, is bringing one here
35:14
Speaker 19: to the city.
35:16
Speaker 1: So the gun sounds at the end of the game
35:17
Speaker 1: against the Egos last year, how quickly do you start thinking, Man,
35:21
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get a Super Bowl right.
35:23
Speaker 14: Oh.
35:23
Speaker 19: Man, I mean I remember Jalen Hurts throwing the ball
35:25
Speaker 19: and he kind of slipped, and man, I mean I
35:29
Speaker 19: just remember thinking to myself, like, man, this is crazy,
35:31
Speaker 19: you know what I mean, Like, I'm about to win
35:32
Speaker 19: the Super Bowl and you know, his ball hits the ground,
35:36
Speaker 19: Confetti starts flying, You're hugging coaches, you're hugging your teammates,
35:40
Speaker 19: and it's just it's also surreal, man. You see your family.
35:43
Speaker 19: It's truly. I mean, it's one of the greatest feelings
35:46
Speaker 19: in the world.
35:47
Speaker 1: What I like is that you're a few weeks away
35:49
Speaker 1: from receiving your first and you're already thinking about your second.
35:52
Speaker 6: Absolutely, man, that's what it's about. Man.
35:53
Speaker 19: We just were striving to get beat better, get great
35:56
Speaker 19: every single day.
35:57
Speaker 1: So there's the answer to the trivia question. The six
36:00
Speaker 1: current Bengals to win Super Bowl rings are Trevor Simeon,
36:04
Speaker 1: Ted Carris, Sidney Jones, four, Alex Kappa, Nick Scott, and
