Paul Dehner Jr. and Mark Chalifoux debut the new weekly show on The Growler, Who Dey Light. They take your questions about all things Bengals and beyond. Mark, a national touring comedian who lives in Cincinnati, goes back and forth with Paul on topics such as the 2022 & 2023 draft class breakouts, what exactly qualifies as F- food, weird turf comps, thoughts from a week in Indy and our willingness to perform negative marketing.

This is the trailer for Paul Dehner Jr.'s new (but also old!) podcast, The Growler. It's the latest evolution of what was HTPG into three episodes a week featuring ESPN1530's Mo Egger, The Estonian Nightmare Dave Niinemets, nationally touring comedian Mark Chalifoux and, at long last, reuniting with Jay Morrison, of Pro Football Network, for a weekly pod taking you inside the world of all things Bengals.
