What up and welcome into the final Locked-on Bengals podcast that I will do? I'm James

Erpene. It is great to be with you, Joe Goodberry, coming up in about 60 seconds or so on

Twitter at James Rupin and at Locked-on Bengals. And even though this is my last podcast, Locked-on

Bengals will go on. So subscribe to it. iTunes, Google Play, Spotify, Stitcher,

the IHeart Radio app in wherever you get your podcast. Not sure who's going to host it yet.

Not sure what the future looks like. I do know the pod's going to continue. So stay subscribed.

Be on the lookout. Be on the lookout for news. be announced uh and i i'm telling you right now

i talked with david lock in person last week locked on bengals is in good hands and whoever

replaces me will be good and will uh bring you daily bengals content uh get to joe goodberry

in just a second first uh it's a it's a bitters. I'm not going to lie. It's a final podcast.

And over the past three years, three football seasons, 2016, 2017, 2018.

I get it, the Bengals lost all three years.

I'm the jinks.

They're going to be great now.

But over the past three years, it's been a lot of fun, getting to know you guys, listening to your voicemails,

tweeting back and forth, emails, direct messages, which are still open. And I've kind of had

fun over the past couple of weeks with the villain role, and I'm going to continue to do that,

by the way, on Twitter. But that being said, I assure you deep down, I still want the Bengals to do well. I would like nothing more

than the Steelers and Ravens to suck so the Bengals and Browns can reign supreme in the AFC North,

because that's never happened in my lifetime. And I'm not sure it's ever going to happen. So if it

started next year, that would be great. So thank you for listening. More on that in a bit, but let's be honest. You want to hear from Joe Goodberry. You want to hear about the

breaking news that a bunch of different outlets reported yesterday. I think Andy Furman had it first.
