Mac & Bone Hour 3: Should Panthers Be Interested in Vita Vea? · Mac & Bone Podcast

0:03
Speaker 1: Oh, Owen's Mac and Foe on your radio. Baby, listen
0:07
Speaker 1: to my Freme Mack Posh, Come on, Posh.
0:10
Speaker 2: Listen my Frem team Bone.
0:13
Speaker 3: What's the fun I can't go to work without listening
0:17
Speaker 3: to the Mac and.
0:17
Speaker 1: Bones do a lot.
0:32
Speaker 4: There's layers to it.
0:33
Speaker 3: So I checked in and got a little update on that,
0:36
Speaker 3: or just a clarification on how all that went down.
0:39
Speaker 3: And basically Bubba Cunningham was you know, the ad at
0:42
Speaker 3: the time, Newmark had not been hired yet, he was
0:46
Speaker 3: running a fairly conventional coaching search. Reached out, I believe,
0:51
Speaker 3: reached out to Matt Campbell, but Matt Campbell wasn't talking
0:53
Speaker 3: to anybody till after that season.
0:55
Speaker 4: Yeah, but they ended.
0:57
Speaker 3: Up focusing on John summer All. I believe there were meetings, yes,
1:02
Speaker 3: that went well, Yes, and then John Summral and his
1:06
Speaker 3: team got wind yes, that there was a parallel search
1:10
Speaker 3: going on, Yes, run by the board chair who would
1:14
Speaker 3: talk to Bill Belichick multiple times, and wisely, John Sumral said,
1:17
Speaker 3: you know what, I don't want anything to do with this.
1:23
Speaker 1: That is Andy Staples College Football in Choir podcast. I
1:26
Speaker 1: brought that up yesterday. I wanted everybody to hear that.
1:29
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe I shouldn't have wanted everybody to
1:31
Speaker 1: hear that, because if you're a tar heel, it probably
1:34
Speaker 1: makes it worse that that whole John Pryor bleep show,
1:39
Speaker 1: the you know, full of power booster that just you know,
1:45
Speaker 1: absolutely just ran over the Bubba Cunningham actual competent search
1:50
Speaker 1: going after actual good football coaches in order to make
1:54
Speaker 1: sure that they pay Belichick and Michael Lombardi a ton
1:57
Speaker 1: of money. It's probably probably only makes you more depressed
2:01
Speaker 1: if you're a ta heel fan. I've been listening to
2:03
Speaker 1: a lot of podcast bone college football podcasts this week
2:06
Speaker 1: to get the national perspective on Belichick and Lombardi. And
2:10
Speaker 1: there's two common links to all these national podcasts. One
2:15
Speaker 1: is they seem to all be taking great joy in
2:20
Speaker 1: Michael Lombardi having issues and this program led by Bill
2:26
Speaker 1: Belichick and Michael Lombardi having issues. They seem to also
2:29
Speaker 1: be telling us all that it's like that when they
2:32
Speaker 1: talk to college football coaches. They came in with all
2:36
Speaker 1: that bluster, thirty third NFL team, and they made it
2:39
Speaker 1: seem like they were going to run circles around the
2:42
Speaker 1: college football establishment. And I know Staples and the guys
2:45
Speaker 1: on the College Fooble Inquirer where we're talking about this,
2:48
Speaker 1: coaches around college football were like, I bet game on.
2:53
Speaker 1: Let's see how damn smart you are, because this is
2:56
Speaker 1: a different game entirely in the.
3:00
Speaker 4: The kids say. Are the kids still saying that?
3:05
Speaker 2: I don't know they did, like twelve years ago that
3:07
Speaker 2: girl rolls off the talk to films at.
3:08
Speaker 1: It oh Man, And you saw it with Sonny Dike's
3:13
Speaker 1: You saw how much Sonny Dikes took glee and beating
3:15
Speaker 1: Belichick because all the hype Belichick got going into that
3:18
Speaker 1: game last year against TCUs. So that's one thing. And
3:21
Speaker 1: again I hate this for Tar Hill fans. I hate
3:23
Speaker 1: it that y'all have this coach and GM that everybody
3:27
Speaker 1: is rooting it against. But it's just the way it is.
3:29
Speaker 1: The other common link and this brings us to this
3:31
Speaker 1: conversation about local hot seats, because we got some warm
3:35
Speaker 1: fannies and in in the Carolinas. In college football, it
3:41
Speaker 1: seems like every one of these national media members on
3:44
Speaker 1: these podcast bone think Bill Belichick is as good as
3:47
Speaker 1: finished at the end of the season or even during
3:49
Speaker 1: the season.
3:51
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's his is his seat.
3:53
Speaker 2: Even is his sit even Hotmack or is he completely
3:56
Speaker 2: toast at this point?
3:57
Speaker 5: Like?
3:57
Speaker 4: Is he so? Is he? Is he Burt? Is he done?
4:00
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, what would Belichick have to do
4:03
Speaker 2: because there's also the nc double A stuff going on
4:05
Speaker 2: as well.
4:05
Speaker 4: Here, Yeah, the CSC stuff.
4:08
Speaker 2: I'm I'm sorry, he's got the he's got that stuff going,
4:11
Speaker 2: so we have to see what that entails. The Lombardi stuff.
4:14
Speaker 5: Mac.
4:14
Speaker 2: We said it at the time, It's one thing for
4:16
Speaker 2: Belichick to enter college football with arrogance and a thought
4:20
Speaker 2: that he could do it because he is the best
4:23
Speaker 2: NFL coach ever. He hasn't translated, but you could see
4:26
Speaker 2: where he would think he could do it. The Lombardi
4:29
Speaker 2: stuff was ridiculous then it's ridiculous now. The guy's done
4:33
Speaker 2: nothing but but nothing but a coattail rider. He came
4:36
Speaker 2: in with arrogance based off Bill Belichick, not his own doing.
4:40
Speaker 2: The only thing Michael Lombardi has been good at, honestly,
4:44
Speaker 2: has been the media stuff, running his yapper, running his
4:47
Speaker 2: yaparon vs.
4:49
Speaker 1: He does podcasts. He's good at that. That's his best thing.
4:53
Speaker 1: He came into college football a world he's not been
4:55
Speaker 1: in with arrogance when he wasn't good at the pro level.
4:59
Speaker 1: It was it's ever going to work for Lombardi. By
5:01
Speaker 1: the way, Andy Staples asked Stephen Godfrey on that podcast
5:04
Speaker 1: last that I listened to last night or no. Stephen
5:08
Speaker 1: Godfrey said, I've been talking to people in the NFL
5:11
Speaker 1: to see what they think of Michael Lombardi, and it's
5:13
Speaker 1: the same thing. They can't stand them and they love
5:16
Speaker 1: this like so, it's just he's just a dude. It's
5:19
Speaker 1: just a gruff, arrogant personality. And I quite honestly believe
5:22
Speaker 1: the only human being in America that likes him is
5:24
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick. And that's unfortunate for Tar Heel fans because
5:28
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick's the one that made him the highest paid
5:31
Speaker 1: GM in college football. Do we think bone I do,
5:37
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's fitty. Do you think Belichick's seat
5:41
Speaker 1: Do you think it's Do you feel like he's getting
5:44
Speaker 1: fired after the year? They would owe him ten million
5:46
Speaker 1: dollars after the year if they fire him. If they
5:49
Speaker 1: fire him after the third year, they owe him zero.
5:51
Speaker 1: There's no more guaranteed money left. The national media seems
5:54
Speaker 1: to definitely think he's gone. I feel like locally, though,
5:59
Speaker 1: I feel like people kind of wonder would they And
6:02
Speaker 1: obviously it's a Lombardi so probably don't help the cause,
6:05
Speaker 1: But like, do you do you think it's that hot?
6:09
Speaker 4: Like, do you think they would fire him?
6:10
Speaker 1: He's out there getting high school recruits like he's acting
6:13
Speaker 1: like he has time, fitty.
6:15
Speaker 6: I didn't think it was as much on the table
6:18
Speaker 6: as I do today as I did last week. Remember
6:21
Speaker 6: when we had Andrew Jones on and you asked him, Hey,
6:24
Speaker 6: what would it take outside of you know, just being
6:27
Speaker 6: non competitive for Carolina to fire Belichick? And he answered,
6:32
Speaker 6: very bluntly, don't be an embarrassment to the university.
6:35
Speaker 4: Yeah. So he made that's what I'm saying bone.
6:37
Speaker 1: He made it seem like it wasn't this situation like
6:40
Speaker 1: the guys, but that was.
6:41
Speaker 6: Pre Lombardi, Like what happened on Monday.
6:44
Speaker 2: I know this, This makes the teld don't embarrass the university.
6:47
Speaker 2: Something happens like a week way right, and that's his
6:49
Speaker 2: higher They just embarrass the university. So maybe it's happening
6:52
Speaker 2: right now.
6:53
Speaker 6: So I feel like I feel like Mac, there's more
6:56
Speaker 6: pressure like on because, like we talked about it on
6:59
Speaker 6: the Tough Blog podcast. Is there more pressure on the
7:02
Speaker 6: players to win. There's more pressure I think on Belichick
7:05
Speaker 6: to just prove that his process is working to progress
7:09
Speaker 6: with but Mack. If if they're getting blown out and
7:11
Speaker 6: that stadium is a ghost town by mid October, yeah,
7:15
Speaker 6: and the and the fan base, which is already checked
7:18
Speaker 6: out as it is, like, is even more checked out,
7:23
Speaker 6: their hand will kind of be forced whether they want
7:26
Speaker 6: to fire him or not. Here's my thing, you want
7:28
Speaker 6: to add, like big time football, big time football would
7:31
Speaker 6: fire him if we have another season like we had
7:34
Speaker 6: last year.
7:34
Speaker 1: Big time Football wouldn't have hired him in the first place,
7:37
Speaker 1: or that Big time Football would have actually went out
7:39
Speaker 1: and got a competent, made a competent higher. That's another
7:41
Speaker 1: part the new look at the situation, the new ads entering. Also,
7:46
Speaker 1: I mean, you talk about a nightmare situation for a
7:48
Speaker 1: new guy wants to you know a lot of times
7:50
Speaker 1: you want to make the easy decisions right away and
7:52
Speaker 1: get your feet new new to this the whole thing.
7:55
Speaker 2: Not even just new to the school. He's new to
7:57
Speaker 2: the whole college landscape. And this is as like he's
8:00
Speaker 2: got a deal with the new ad. Steve might want
8:02
Speaker 2: to make his new Mark on UNC you had a
8:08
Speaker 2: look on your face like you had a brilliant y.
8:10
Speaker 2: I'm so proud of that. His name is Steve Newmark, y'all.
8:12
Speaker 2: But no, the ad is a good point. He won
8:14
Speaker 2: around for that Shenanigans. He gets in here and this
8:17
Speaker 2: embarrassment is attached to him, and he was with Penske
8:19
Speaker 2: Racing when this happened. And now John pryor the booster
8:22
Speaker 2: that that that ramrode to Belichick in here is gone
8:25
Speaker 2: from the board or the board member.
8:27
Speaker 4: He's gone.
8:27
Speaker 1: Like I can easily say, see Steve Newmar pushing and saying,
8:31
Speaker 1: let me make a good hire here, let me erase
8:34
Speaker 1: the damage that's been done. Scott from Kernersville is saying,
8:37
Speaker 1: we are rooting against Belichick now, we are so tired
8:40
Speaker 1: of this clown show. That's a good That's a question
8:43
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask. Have Carolina fans gone into, uh
8:46
Speaker 1: what is what is often an NC state mode, which
8:49
Speaker 1: is rooting against your own Like I've always felt like
8:52
Speaker 1: no one roots against their own coach bone to get
8:54
Speaker 1: him fired better than State fans over the years, I
8:56
Speaker 1: feel like they've done it so many times.
8:58
Speaker 4: Herb Sendek Sidney Lowe, on and on and on.
9:05
Speaker 1: Is that what Carolina fans are feeling, just roomed against.
9:09
Speaker 4: Their own team.
9:10
Speaker 1: I can't begrudge you because it just feels to me
9:12
Speaker 1: bone if they elongate this process and let him sell
9:15
Speaker 1: you on listen, we brought in forty high school recruits.
9:18
Speaker 1: We had a top fifteen recruiting class. We're building a
9:22
Speaker 1: slow build, like they if they buy into that, I
9:25
Speaker 1: feel like they're only delaying the inevitable.
9:27
Speaker 4: He doesn't fit this and.
9:28
Speaker 2: Is anything that's happened the last two years wed you
9:32
Speaker 2: to believe that Belichick in this current regime could turn
9:38
Speaker 2: this around. You believe that the Iroan game is gonna
9:42
Speaker 2: go well? Or is that gonna be the next disaster
9:45
Speaker 2: where they get embarrassed across the pond? Is what leads
9:48
Speaker 2: you to believe there's anything here that says, yeah, here's
9:52
Speaker 2: a positive thing. This is going in the right direction.
9:54
Speaker 2: I like it outside of Jordan Ship and maybe the
9:56
Speaker 2: defense get I liked the Patrino higher.
9:58
Speaker 1: I do, But again it's he might well, he might
10:00
Speaker 1: be the head man before is Billy Edwards Junior? Is
10:03
Speaker 1: he any good? I'm not sure about that, you know,
10:06
Speaker 1: O'Neil any good. I'm not sure. So like there, Bobby
10:09
Speaker 1: Petrino makes quarterbacks better, But he got to me, are
10:13
Speaker 1: these guys any good? What did it say about the
10:16
Speaker 1: state of your program?
10:17
Speaker 4: Though?
10:18
Speaker 2: When the positive is well, Bobby Patrino is a guy
10:20
Speaker 2: we can believe in in terms of personality more than
10:23
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick.
10:24
Speaker 1: Well, Bobby Patrino's a hell of an offensive coach. He
10:26
Speaker 1: forget about neck braces and motorcycles. Well, you're putting on
10:28
Speaker 1: to me, he's a hell of an offense But I
10:30
Speaker 1: don't know if he has the tools because Michael Lombardi
10:33
Speaker 1: is not doing a good time. You're also putting your
10:35
Speaker 1: trust in Bobby Patrino, which is always another question, right
10:38
Speaker 1: seven four five, seven oh nine six tent If you
10:41
Speaker 1: want to jump in here, Husker Mike says the only
10:43
Speaker 1: way Belichick can win is to hire Collins Connor Stallions.
10:48
Speaker 1: They would make they'd hit it off, wouldn't they vowt
10:51
Speaker 1: just to trade spy tactics?
10:53
Speaker 3: Uh?
10:53
Speaker 4: Seven o four number.
10:54
Speaker 1: This is an embarrassment to the program, the athletic department,
10:57
Speaker 1: in the entire university. I wish he was fired yesterday.
11:00
Speaker 1: So yes, I don't want Bill Belichick to win a game.
11:03
Speaker 1: See that sucks, man, I hate that. And I know
11:05
Speaker 1: I'm getting a lot of email. We're geting a lot
11:07
Speaker 1: of emails Bone from State and Duke fans that are
11:09
Speaker 1: just like, oh, this is hilarious. My Tar Heel friends
11:12
Speaker 1: are miserable and like they're squirming.
11:14
Speaker 4: And they love it.
11:15
Speaker 1: But like, I don't want, like I want football season
11:18
Speaker 1: to hype everybody up. I hate when we have local
11:21
Speaker 1: fan bases that are in that mode of I don't
11:23
Speaker 1: even want to win games. But I can't blame y'all.
11:25
Speaker 1: And the Heels get it going early. They're the first game.
11:28
Speaker 4: That's right, that's right, you go get right to it.
11:31
Speaker 1: What do you think, Bone, because it doesn't seem like
11:34
Speaker 1: anybody is disagreeing with the notion that Belichick's seat should
11:37
Speaker 1: be the hottest in the Carolinas in college football. Who
11:40
Speaker 1: do you think is the closest to Belichick in terms
11:44
Speaker 1: of hot seat? I think, God, it's my own guy,
11:46
Speaker 1: Shane Biemer. So I think when you have Sellers and
11:49
Speaker 1: you have Dylan Stewart to immense talents on both sides
11:53
Speaker 1: of the ball, you can't go five and seven. You
11:56
Speaker 1: can't go four to eight. You have to be somewhere
11:58
Speaker 1: in the neighborhood of that nine and four a couple
12:01
Speaker 1: of years ago, or you know what, they were the
12:03
Speaker 1: finish a couple in twenty twenty two. They can't They
12:07
Speaker 1: can't go and do what they did in twenty twenty three.
12:10
Speaker 1: They can't go four and eight. They have to have
12:12
Speaker 1: a record that the game cop fans can be proud of,
12:16
Speaker 1: whether that's eight wins, that's nine wins. He cannot afford
12:20
Speaker 1: another four or five or six win season, not with degree,
12:24
Speaker 1: not with the schedule the way it plays out, not
12:27
Speaker 1: with Sellers back, not with Steward back. Shane Biemer has
12:30
Speaker 1: to get this team way above five hundred this year.
12:33
Speaker 1: I would even six wins in the ball game. It's
12:36
Speaker 1: kind of like that, is that good enough? An eight
12:38
Speaker 1: or nine wins? Well, yeah, there's a good question there.
12:40
Speaker 1: I would hope seven and five and a much improved
12:42
Speaker 1: team and you get a big win and you're competitive
12:45
Speaker 1: in some of your laws. I would hope that that
12:48
Speaker 1: would do it for him, because the thing with Beemer is,
12:51
Speaker 1: let's not act like that's an easy place to win at.
12:54
Speaker 2: See.
12:54
Speaker 1: That's the thing too, when you decide to fire a coach.
12:57
Speaker 1: You've got to be honest with yourselves. What are fair
13:00
Speaker 1: expectations for the coach, because if not, you're just firing
13:03
Speaker 1: one coach to hire and fire the other one.
13:06
Speaker 2: You know, it's just There was a whole Twitter conversation
13:09
Speaker 2: with Jesse Simonton, Bud Elliott, Andy Staples, a bunch of
13:13
Speaker 2: media guys recently in the last couple of days about
13:16
Speaker 2: how impossible of a job South Carolina is because it's
13:21
Speaker 2: hard to win there. It's also not a stepping stone job.
13:24
Speaker 2: It doesn't get you other because it's in the SEC.
13:27
Speaker 2: It doesn't get you other places because it's hard to
13:29
Speaker 2: win there. So like let's say you don't really you
13:31
Speaker 2: kind of get lost in there.
13:32
Speaker 1: Well, so that's why if he goes seven and five,
13:34
Speaker 1: I would urge South Carolina not to act like man,
13:37
Speaker 1: he ain't good.
13:37
Speaker 4: Enough for us.
13:38
Speaker 2: I think it's got I think it's got to be eight.
13:40
Speaker 2: I would I think their schedule early they can they can.
13:43
Speaker 1: You guarantee me you get a better coach than Shane
13:45
Speaker 1: Beemer there though.
13:45
Speaker 2: I think they can. They can well, I mean they'd
13:48
Speaker 2: have to try. I think that they can win four
13:51
Speaker 2: or five off the bat and then I think if
13:53
Speaker 2: they got they won five early in the season and
13:56
Speaker 2: only went to the rest of the way, they they
13:59
Speaker 2: got to finish strong too. So I think I think
14:01
Speaker 2: it's got to be eight. And I think it also
14:03
Speaker 2: depends a little bit on what those are.
14:05
Speaker 1: Just that's the that my thing is, and it depends
14:09
Speaker 1: how you play in your losses too. I feel like,
14:11
Speaker 1: but I just if y'all in game Cognation are just
14:14
Speaker 1: thinking we just snap our fingers and we get a
14:16
Speaker 1: guy that goes in there and does better than coach,
14:18
Speaker 1: being like, I just I ain't an easy gig man.
14:20
Speaker 1: Steve Spurrier is the list. That's the list bone, no
14:23
Speaker 1: one is. No one has got the result Steve Spurrier
14:26
Speaker 1: has in the history of the program. So they just so,
14:28
Speaker 1: just so you seven and five would be I would
14:30
Speaker 1: keep him around for seven and five.
14:32
Speaker 4: Will I think it's got to be eight.
14:35
Speaker 1: It certainly can't be four or five or cent definitely can't.
14:39
Speaker 1: Definitely can't be more app hate text in and says
14:43
Speaker 1: Tim Albin should have the hottest seat if anybody cares.
14:47
Speaker 1: Here's my thing with Tim Albin. I know he can coach, man,
14:51
Speaker 1: I know he can. You'll get the results at Ohio
14:54
Speaker 1: he was coaching his patuity off.
14:57
Speaker 2: Man.
14:57
Speaker 1: He build that program, He developed players, He developed the
15:01
Speaker 1: program into the standard in the MAC. I know he
15:04
Speaker 1: can coach. That's my thing about firing. Another thing too,
15:08
Speaker 1: about firing him. You're gonna find a better coach Charlotte
15:11
Speaker 1: than him. Charlotte's not. I know they've upped the nil
15:14
Speaker 1: and hopefully that will help. But that's not the easiest
15:17
Speaker 1: job in the world either, So I would hesitate to
15:21
Speaker 1: fire him.
15:22
Speaker 4: Man, I really would.
15:24
Speaker 2: You gotta give it more than two years to get
15:26
Speaker 2: that Bifstak off the program.
15:28
Speaker 4: I mean sadly Biff. I mean they there.
15:32
Speaker 1: Their win total bone with Biff was higher than what
15:38
Speaker 1: we saw with Alvin last year. Might be hiring what
15:39
Speaker 1: they get with Albin this year. It was just that
15:42
Speaker 1: Biff was going portal port to portal and one and
15:45
Speaker 1: and it just it was trying to scramble for portal
15:48
Speaker 1: guys this year. It wasn't developing anything, was planning for
15:52
Speaker 1: the future. It wasn't He wasn't necessarily developing anything. Let's
15:56
Speaker 1: see here, this team stay at Michigan with Whittingham. Is
16:00
Speaker 1: he he's gone right? Is he back rounding the hedge
16:02
Speaker 1: funds give us some stock tips. No way he stuck
16:06
Speaker 1: around there, did he. That's a good question. I do
16:09
Speaker 1: not know. Biff had not been on my mind in
16:12
Speaker 1: a minute. He's gone, okay, all right. Uh. This texture
16:15
Speaker 1: says Mac doesn't want to fire any coaches, wants us
16:19
Speaker 1: all to accept mediocre as the standard. I'm just saying,
16:24
Speaker 1: I been I'm an old ass. I've been here. I've
16:26
Speaker 1: seen it for a long time. Bone, I've seen fans
16:30
Speaker 1: want to coach gone, thinking we could get a guy
16:33
Speaker 1: to this is the guy that's gonna make us great,
16:36
Speaker 1: and sometimes your program you just got to be honest
16:38
Speaker 1: with your program's expectations. Like there's plenty of coaches you
16:43
Speaker 1: can hire. South Carolina would not have Dylan Stewart or
16:47
Speaker 1: Leonora Sellers and wouldn't be.
16:49
Speaker 4: Able to keep him.
16:50
Speaker 2: Like.
16:51
Speaker 1: So that's I'm just saying. I just urged you Bone
16:54
Speaker 1: in your game. Let me to not be totally unfair,
16:58
Speaker 1: to shame me, let me count way unfair. All I
17:01
Speaker 1: said was, don't win four or five games, and you
17:03
Speaker 1: said seven wins, you'd fire them, and I'd be like,
17:06
Speaker 1: hell about that.
17:06
Speaker 4: You have to I'm giving.
17:08
Speaker 2: You my perspective as a guy, the roots are the
17:10
Speaker 2: game car So that's my perspective. If you're gonna bring
17:13
Speaker 2: guys in, that's great. He's doing a great job recruiting.
17:16
Speaker 2: You gotta do something with the guy though. You gotta
17:19
Speaker 2: do something with Dylan's story. You gotta do something with Cellar.
17:21
Speaker 1: But you aren't guaranteed these sort of recruiting classes at
17:24
Speaker 1: South Carolina.
17:24
Speaker 2: If they don't win, what's it matter who's in there not?
17:27
Speaker 2: I mean, I understand that's a fair They're not gonna
17:29
Speaker 2: win with the guys. What's it matter? They have to
17:31
Speaker 2: bring the guys in and win. With seven and five
17:33
Speaker 2: would be a win. That's a winning season in a
17:36
Speaker 2: very deep conference. But the schedule is nowhere near what
17:40
Speaker 2: it normally is, especially off the top.
17:42
Speaker 4: That's my point.
17:43
Speaker 2: Normally, I say, yeah, with that schedule that would be
17:46
Speaker 2: that would be justifiable. There's a lot of wins early
17:50
Speaker 2: in that sea. There's a lot of toss up games
17:52
Speaker 2: that they can win this year. Yeah, there's a lot
17:53
Speaker 2: of very winnable games on the schedule this year, more
17:56
Speaker 2: so than usual.
17:57
Speaker 1: This Texter says, I'm gonna be honest with you, Mac,
17:59
Speaker 1: You are being unfair.
18:00
Speaker 4: They a bone.
18:01
Speaker 1: I'm a game cock fan. If we don't make the playoff,
18:03
Speaker 1: I'd send him packing. See if that, first of all,
18:06
Speaker 1: he got you close. He's his own worst enemy. He
18:09
Speaker 1: got y'all so close to the playoff last year or
18:11
Speaker 1: two years ago, bone that some of y'all. This guy
18:13
Speaker 1: now expects it. Yeah, I mean playoffs like I can't
18:17
Speaker 1: predict that. He's created his own and he's created this expectation.
18:21
Speaker 1: You know, the previous guy didn't create this expectation. Huster
18:24
Speaker 1: Mike says. The game costs have five guaranteed losses, dam
18:27
Speaker 1: all five. They're not a five. There's not five guaranteed losses.
18:30
Speaker 1: Oklahoma it's gonna be really tough, I think, and Georgia
18:34
Speaker 1: it's gonna be really tough. Outside of that, they've being
18:36
Speaker 1: Clemson two times recently. They'd be in Tennessee recently. They
18:40
Speaker 1: can beat four. There's a lot of games on there.
18:43
Speaker 1: Could they lose some, of course, but don't act like
18:45
Speaker 1: this is the gaulllet they normally face.
18:47
Speaker 5: Either.
18:47
Speaker 4: They played Bama well recently.
18:49
Speaker 1: No, the schedule's easier, which is why I think they
18:51
Speaker 1: bounced out. This isn't It's why I think they have
18:53
Speaker 1: a winning season, But like, my whole point is Bone,
18:56
Speaker 1: if they win seven, they're not gonna win every one
18:58
Speaker 1: of those toss up games either. I think that's kind
19:00
Speaker 1: of the way we're feeling those of us that think
19:02
Speaker 1: they could lose five games.
19:03
Speaker 4: Maybe four.
19:04
Speaker 1: I think they could win eight, but they're not gonna
19:05
Speaker 1: win every toss up game either. But like that, that's
19:09
Speaker 1: that That's kind of my point. But what if they
19:11
Speaker 1: lose close to Georgia. What if some of their losses
19:14
Speaker 1: Bone are very competitive losses?
19:16
Speaker 2: You know, Husker might just got caught maybe not watching
19:19
Speaker 2: the sport in the last twenty five or thirty years.
19:21
Speaker 2: H well, what what why would he watch? He's he's
19:23
Speaker 2: a Husker. You really think they're gonna be Florida and Kentucky? Kentucky.
19:28
Speaker 2: We're scared about Kentucky.
19:29
Speaker 4: Tucky.
19:29
Speaker 2: This isn't This isn't like Kentucky from a few years ago. Husker, Mike,
19:32
Speaker 2: you might want to watch the sport there, big felt
19:35
Speaker 2: when when we come back on the MACI Mode Show
19:39
Speaker 2: year on this Wednesday edition, we're gonna talk national writer
19:44
Speaker 2: list a national writer list the Panthers as a potential
19:48
Speaker 2: winding spot for Vita Vea. Should Dan make the call?
19:51
Speaker 2: Sports Radio ninety two seven.
20:10
Speaker 5: This is a year where you looked at it and went,
20:12
Speaker 5: they might be a real pain in the butt. They
20:14
Speaker 5: could be something, especially on the defensive side of the ball.
20:16
Speaker 5: And I think that's what you're alluding to. I mean,
20:18
Speaker 5: Scordon again, that's where we're always gonna be here to go.
20:21
Speaker 5: Don't always look at the Efen stats all the time,
20:24
Speaker 5: because he's a beast in the run game. He can
20:26
Speaker 5: take on anybody, tackles, tight ends, all of that.
20:29
Speaker 4: He could push the pocket.
20:31
Speaker 5: I mean, he's powerful enough where he can knock him
20:33
Speaker 5: down and he could play defensive tackle on a third
20:35
Speaker 5: down right right. But to your point with him, Jalen Phillips,
20:39
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, And of course we you know we
20:41
Speaker 5: got big Derek Brown in the middle and now Devin
20:44
Speaker 5: Lloyd a middle linebacker, Like I was so excited to
20:46
Speaker 5: see what this front seven can be. And then we
20:49
Speaker 5: know the secondary's got some players and to go along
20:52
Speaker 5: with him, Mike Jackson is one of the best corners
20:54
Speaker 5: in the sport. And we know j C. Horn there
20:56
Speaker 5: coming off injuries. So yeah, just a little bit of
20:58
Speaker 5: a downer for them all. Together in a year where
21:01
Speaker 5: you felt like, hey, this could be a difference making team,
21:05
Speaker 5: a difference making defense for sure, with E j everro
21:08
Speaker 5: coaching it.
21:09
Speaker 1: Chris Sims and Mike Florio. That was earlier this week talking.
21:13
Speaker 1: I guess Florio didn't talk on there, but Florio was there.
21:15
Speaker 1: I promise you he was there on their PFT TV
21:20
Speaker 1: show discussing the fact that we have lost Nick Gorton
21:23
Speaker 1: and how much of a blow it is for this
21:26
Speaker 1: Carolina Panther defense. I still think we have a ton
21:28
Speaker 1: of talent, man, I do, but I have suggested, humbly
21:33
Speaker 1: Bone all as you do on the on the radio,
21:39
Speaker 1: on the radio, and off the radio directly to Dan Morgan.
21:43
Speaker 1: And I'm not sure Bone, it's gonna end where I
21:45
Speaker 1: wanted to, But I have suggested the Panthers go after
21:48
Speaker 1: Alex high Smith. There has been talk since Nick Herbig
21:51
Speaker 1: signed a big deal there as an edge rusher that
21:53
Speaker 1: HeiG Smith could be available in a trade played for Charlotte.
21:57
Speaker 1: He's from Wilmington, nine and a half sacks last it
22:00
Speaker 1: just feels like something worth pursuing. Jeremy Fowler of ESPN,
22:04
Speaker 1: though Bone has another trade in mind for the Carolina Panthers.
22:08
Speaker 1: He did this list as in you have seen you
22:11
Speaker 1: have seen many of these lists bone National. The second
22:13
Speaker 1: guy requests a trade that the National writers are just
22:18
Speaker 1: competing with each other to be the first one to
22:20
Speaker 1: put out a list of five possible top team teams.
22:24
Speaker 1: But Jeremy Fowler of ESPN listed five teams that could
22:29
Speaker 1: be potential landing spots for Vida Vea defensive tackle just
22:34
Speaker 1: a mammoth beastly I mean immovable object of a defensive
22:39
Speaker 1: tackle from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He has requested a
22:42
Speaker 1: trade because the contract talks with the Bucks have not
22:46
Speaker 1: gone anywhere, and Fowler lists US as one of the
22:50
Speaker 1: five potential landing spots. Bony, how do you feel about
22:55
Speaker 1: Fowler's idea and the idea of many listeners. Many listeners
22:59
Speaker 1: are saying, go get Vida Veya. How do you feel
23:02
Speaker 1: about my idea, high Smith? Or do you like neither idea?
23:06
Speaker 1: But I like high Smith better than Vita Vea. In
23:10
Speaker 1: a perfect world, you would get Vita Veya. But I'm
23:13
Speaker 1: not going to get my hopes up that the Bucks
23:15
Speaker 1: are going to trade him within the division. Also, Vita
23:18
Speaker 1: Vea wants to be paid and you're paying Derek Brown
23:21
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of money already at that spot. So
23:23
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's feasible to pay two guys
23:26
Speaker 1: at that one spot. That would be great together to watch,
23:30
Speaker 1: But I don't know if it's financially responsible to trade
23:34
Speaker 1: for him to pay him when you're already paying Derek
23:36
Speaker 1: Brown all that money to do that job. Yeah, vitavet
23:38
Speaker 1: to bones point via Bea has one year left at
23:42
Speaker 1: seventeen million dollars and then after that. Yeah, the whole
23:44
Speaker 1: reason for his discontent there is because he hadn't gotten
23:47
Speaker 1: a long term deal. So you would either run the
23:50
Speaker 1: wristbone of just renting him, or you would run the
23:55
Speaker 1: or you got to pay him. I think that's a
23:56
Speaker 1: good point that got money invested in Interior, d Line
23:59
Speaker 1: and Wharton as well.
24:00
Speaker 4: Although I do.
24:01
Speaker 1: Wonder if he if he didn't have a good season,
24:03
Speaker 1: could he be gone in the offseason. I just feel
24:06
Speaker 1: like the edge need and I still think we can
24:10
Speaker 1: be a damn good defense bone with guys collectively, with
24:13
Speaker 1: Pat Jones and in Koombe and Princely, Like if everybody
24:18
Speaker 1: steps up a little bit, I still think we can
24:21
Speaker 1: be a really good defense even without scorting. The high
24:24
Speaker 1: Smith thing is just tempting to be because he's it's
24:27
Speaker 1: a two year deal where he basically has owed another
24:29
Speaker 1: thirty million. And I know Dan's response to me on
24:32
Speaker 1: the air when I was hitting around this was man
24:35
Speaker 1: that you know, moves like that costs money, and they
24:37
Speaker 1: do only have eight million dollars of cap money. So
24:39
Speaker 1: you to get either one of these guys you would
24:42
Speaker 1: have to restructure, you know, probably, or you'd have to
24:45
Speaker 1: just give Vidave a new deal and structure it in
24:48
Speaker 1: a way that it fits under your cap. High Smith, though,
24:50
Speaker 1: to me, would work because he would fill the scot
24:53
Speaker 1: and void while he's here for the first year. Then
24:56
Speaker 1: next year you'd probably say by to Pat Jones. I
24:58
Speaker 1: like Pat Jones, but he's got a two year deal,
25:00
Speaker 1: so he'd probably say by to him. His deal is up,
25:03
Speaker 1: and then s Gordon can kind of ease his way
25:05
Speaker 1: back in and then the high Smith deals up. See,
25:07
Speaker 1: you essentially have rented him for two years. Could you
25:10
Speaker 1: get him for a second and a fourth? This texter says,
25:13
Speaker 1: you don't make the high Smith type move Mac unless
25:16
Speaker 1: you think you're a contender for the Super Bowl. What
25:19
Speaker 1: how do you respond to that Bone like, like, am
25:22
Speaker 1: I well irresponsible to say give up a second and
25:26
Speaker 1: a fourth when all we're trying to do, like, maybe
25:29
Speaker 1: it's not a move that makes you a Super Bowl contend.
25:32
Speaker 2: He's on a two year deal though, right, yeah, so
25:34
Speaker 2: who's to say next year that he doesn't play in
25:36
Speaker 2: a high level and this team next year takes another
25:39
Speaker 2: step and they are that So yeah, I mean obviously
25:42
Speaker 2: right now I don't think they are. But I think
25:43
Speaker 2: Alex Highsmith will not be a rental. He'd be a
25:46
Speaker 2: multi year guy. He's a Charlotte guy. That makes a
25:48
Speaker 2: whole lot of sense. You're listening to the Mack and
25:50
Speaker 2: Bone Show year talking about would you rather trade for
25:54
Speaker 2: Alex Highsmith or Tavita Tuyakiyono to a Potu Mosea fei
25:59
Speaker 2: faku fall tovea.
26:01
Speaker 4: Is that really his full name? Yes?
26:03
Speaker 1: Maybe just a ka Vita. How did you just nail that?
26:06
Speaker 1: Like that vida amazing.
26:08
Speaker 2: Tavita to yaki o no to a Mosea Veyuku fall.
26:12
Speaker 1: To Fiddy that is you got to give it to
26:14
Speaker 1: our boy here. That is an amazing But now we
26:16
Speaker 1: don't know for sure if he did pronounce It also
26:18
Speaker 1: may have used a customer back. It sounded so fluid.
26:21
Speaker 1: There is an amazing man.
26:25
Speaker 4: How about that baby?
26:26
Speaker 6: He also has the pronunciation guy pulled up in front
26:29
Speaker 6: of him.
26:29
Speaker 4: No, I do not.
26:32
Speaker 1: Fitty accusing you a fraud. Pronunciation fraud that's called wikipedia
26:36
Speaker 1: clown us. Did you try to say fitty? Go ahead
26:42
Speaker 1: and try it on those full name fitty. You should
26:44
Speaker 1: try to try to respond by doing the full to
26:47
Speaker 1: kenba tumbo. You remember a full to kembaebo walking lumbo.
26:54
Speaker 1: Remember that whole thing? Oh, my favorite name it was.
26:57
Speaker 1: It's another one that's so lengthy.
26:59
Speaker 2: Ken tumbo, moll pond do macambos on joguatumbo.
27:03
Speaker 4: There you go. Bone is good at this fitty. I
27:05
Speaker 4: gotta be honest. So how can you say that? Never?
27:07
Speaker 4: How could you say that?
27:08
Speaker 6: But Honky tnker Badonka dunk earlier got you all, I got.
27:11
Speaker 1: Him, I got him a but duncan dunk. Yeah, I
27:13
Speaker 1: wrote that in there somehow impressive. Next summer, we're gonna
27:17
Speaker 1: rank the Kenby's name, so the top five us.
27:19
Speaker 4: Y'all, remember, y'all remember that song?
27:22
Speaker 1: I think I think wall Tumbo is my favorite. What
27:24
Speaker 1: was the country but Duncan Dunk song? Yeah, that was
27:27
Speaker 1: Atkins via country fied but Dunk? And was that what
27:31
Speaker 1: he's got? That honky but donkey?
27:34
Speaker 4: That's what? Why did I call it? Country fied? But
27:36
Speaker 4: Duncan Dunk?
27:37
Speaker 6: Even things about slapping his grandma on that song.
27:39
Speaker 4: That's a great country music song.
27:41
Speaker 1: What's a country friedk That was a fun song? I
27:45
Speaker 1: like that one, Mack you would you would enjoy the
27:47
Speaker 1: music video.
27:48
Speaker 4: I'll check it out. How about that? I'll check it out.
27:51
Speaker 1: Dave Canalis told me to YouTube Jonathan Brooks highlights from Texas,
27:56
Speaker 1: Yes say and oppresser and now you have to so
27:58
Speaker 1: I have two good videos to watch when the show
28:00
Speaker 1: is over. All right, somehow let's pull this bactory back
28:04
Speaker 1: to no, not reality, but sanity, and somehow pull us
28:06
Speaker 1: back to sanity seven oh four or five seven, no
28:09
Speaker 1: nine to six ten. A lot of people responding to
28:11
Speaker 1: Dan Morgan's comment that it takes money to make a
28:14
Speaker 1: trade like the high Smith trade and said we were
28:16
Speaker 1: ready to pay Milton Williams. I think it's the timing
28:18
Speaker 1: of the yearbone like Milton Williams. That was all part
28:21
Speaker 1: of a game plan where let's go for him right.
28:23
Speaker 1: Just like with Phillips this year and Lloyd this year,
28:25
Speaker 1: it was their pre free agency game plan where they
28:28
Speaker 1: had their cap room. I think he means this time
28:30
Speaker 1: of year, the money is not allocated.
28:33
Speaker 2: I want also, wouldn't the Bucks put a a NFC
28:35
Speaker 2: South tax on the Panthers.
28:37
Speaker 1: That's a lot of people are bringing that up to
28:38
Speaker 1: and that that's another that's another fair point.
28:40
Speaker 4: Do they even want to do? They want to help?
28:42
Speaker 1: But I will say this though, I I would, you know,
28:45
Speaker 1: I would salivate over Vita Vea, Derrick Brown and Lee
28:48
Speaker 1: Hunter lining up three dudes against the runal first down.
28:51
Speaker 4: I would. I would, Oh, that could be nasty.
28:54
Speaker 2: So many comments on my pronunciation abilities here. I've never
28:57
Speaker 2: been praised more in my left and I am right now.
28:59
Speaker 2: All the years of watching the Samoans wrestle has paid off.
29:03
Speaker 2: Remote Is that what it was?
29:05
Speaker 1: Is that?
29:05
Speaker 4: The key?
29:05
Speaker 1: For you?
29:06
Speaker 5: Just mean?
29:07
Speaker 4: I watch enough wrestling, Macaron Partsimowent.
29:09
Speaker 1: At this point, Willie p says in his country DJ
29:11
Speaker 1: days honky tonks padunka dunk was a J ninety eight
29:14
Speaker 1: the boot regular Willie Pete tossing to that.
29:19
Speaker 2: Guy, Willie, will you send an audio of tossing it
29:21
Speaker 2: to the honky to please.
29:23
Speaker 1: I would pay money send in on the text line
29:25
Speaker 1: of voice sample player. I would pay so much money
29:27
Speaker 1: to hear him do that man toss to that song.
29:29
Speaker 1: All right, I want to mention Luke Keikley here real quick,
29:32
Speaker 1: because this is really cool news.
29:33
Speaker 4: Bony.
29:34
Speaker 1: Luke Keikley's gonna be the Lee. I mean, it's just
29:36
Speaker 1: his world right now. He's going the Hall of Fame
29:38
Speaker 1: next week. He's gonna be the lead analyst for Netflix
29:41
Speaker 1: NFL games. It's gonna be a very limited schedule. It's
29:45
Speaker 1: gonna allow him Bone to do five Netflix games and
29:48
Speaker 1: twelve Panther games on the radio.
29:50
Speaker 4: So that's cool. We don't lose him completely.
29:52
Speaker 1: But he's gonna do these feature games like the opening
29:55
Speaker 1: night game in Australia between the Rams and the Niners.
29:58
Speaker 1: He's gonna get a Thanksgiving game and we know he
30:00
Speaker 1: performs on Thanksgiving.
30:01
Speaker 4: How about that cowboy fans.
30:03
Speaker 1: Oh, he's gonna get a Christmas game a week eighteen games,
30:05
Speaker 1: So like, this is so cool for Luke. He's so good.
30:09
Speaker 1: And apparently he did a he did a tryout Bone
30:13
Speaker 1: like an audition and just absolutely wowed and why wouldn't
30:16
Speaker 1: he do the way He his knowledge of ball, and
30:20
Speaker 1: he is getting so good at communicating that knowledge in
30:22
Speaker 1: the quick sound bites we've seen him develop. I think
30:26
Speaker 1: so much in broadcast.
30:27
Speaker 2: How good is that Netflix booth gonna because it's Noah
30:30
Speaker 2: Eagle who's already phenomenal as a young broadcaster, and then
30:34
Speaker 2: Bluke Keikley's in there. Those two guys together, that might
30:37
Speaker 2: be that might become the Internet's favorite broadcasting duo.
30:40
Speaker 4: That's my prediction.
30:41
Speaker 1: That switch of your car, they're gonna be the they're
30:43
Speaker 1: gonna get, They're gonna get the critical acclaim. It's not
30:46
Speaker 1: easy to win Twitter over Man, but they might be
30:48
Speaker 1: able to do it.
30:49
Speaker 2: We love Olsen, but there's a lot of a lot
30:51
Speaker 2: of people don't necessarily love Burkhart that much. But Noah
30:55
Speaker 2: Eagle and Keith Lee together that that's going to be
30:58
Speaker 2: a crew.
30:58
Speaker 1: I I have a question about Louke Keith Lee Bone.
31:01
Speaker 1: What do you think his best post playing career job
31:05
Speaker 1: would be. Because I can sit here and tell you
31:08
Speaker 1: how good I like you. I think he's going to
31:11
Speaker 1: be at these big national games. But I also believe
31:14
Speaker 1: he could be an amazing coach And I'm not just
31:16
Speaker 1: talking about the middle school coaching that he's doing right
31:18
Speaker 1: now and love it. I'm talking about coaching pros and
31:21
Speaker 1: being a position coach and a decordinator and even a
31:25
Speaker 1: head coach. And I believe if you put him in
31:29
Speaker 1: the front office. I know he didn't necessarily like the scouting,
31:32
Speaker 1: but I believe that he could watch. We know he
31:34
Speaker 1: loves watching tape. I believe he could find some great
31:37
Speaker 1: talent by watching tape. What do you think would be
31:41
Speaker 1: his best job?
31:44
Speaker 2: Coaching? But I have heard from sources that right now,
31:52
Speaker 2: uh with it?
31:53
Speaker 5: Is it?
31:54
Speaker 2: I always forget is it his girlfriend or his wife?
31:56
Speaker 2: I always I always lose track of I think it's
31:58
Speaker 2: girlfriend right that he's now taken the back seat to
32:03
Speaker 2: her career because she was so big in terms of
32:06
Speaker 2: him when he played that now she's established here.
32:11
Speaker 4: So he doesn't want to live a coaching life.
32:13
Speaker 2: He doesn't want to do a coaching life because he's
32:15
Speaker 2: doing Yeah. So I think that he would love to coach.
32:19
Speaker 2: But I think broadcasting. I didn't think when he played,
32:22
Speaker 2: I didn't think he would be a broadcaster. Not that
32:25
Speaker 2: he couldn't mentally do it, but I didn't think like
32:27
Speaker 2: because he was, he's really blossomed even more. I think
32:31
Speaker 2: since when he doesn't have to give kind of cliche
32:34
Speaker 2: answers that athletes and coaches do, he's really blossomed. So
32:38
Speaker 2: I think ultimately coaching may be the end game, but
32:42
Speaker 2: the broadcasting thing if he's doing that well already. The
32:47
Speaker 2: sky's a woman here man drinking mortgage says Lucas single fellows.
32:51
Speaker 2: But doesn't he have a long time significant other though
32:53
Speaker 2: here in town? Yeah, he does, like she's in the
32:55
Speaker 2: medical doctor or something of that caliber. And that's what
33:01
Speaker 2: I thought, unless there was, let's just this person got
33:03
Speaker 2: some scoop or something.
33:04
Speaker 4: I know that he has had a long time girlfriend.
33:08
Speaker 2: Hell so he's wanted to establish roots and not necessarily
33:11
Speaker 2: have the But that's just what the question.
33:14
Speaker 1: If the question is like literally Luke Keickley comes to
33:17
Speaker 1: you and says, what do you think I'd be best
33:18
Speaker 1: at in football? I would say coaching. Now I have
33:22
Speaker 1: said this for years. I believe he can do any
33:25
Speaker 1: of these jobs and be great at it. He is
33:27
Speaker 1: just a football savant. But my like, he's ever gonna
33:31
Speaker 1: ask my advice, and for good reason, but I would
33:35
Speaker 1: tell him, man, I just think he could be a
33:37
Speaker 1: phenomenal coach. Yeah, Like his ability to diagnose things be phenomenal.
33:43
Speaker 1: And I think he's got the personality and the patients
33:46
Speaker 1: to coach players up. Hell, he's already doing the middle
33:47
Speaker 1: schoolers and you need patients to do that. So like,
33:50
Speaker 1: if we're just kicking around what we think he would
33:52
Speaker 1: be best at, but it sounds like right now that's
33:55
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. By the way, we talk about how
34:00
Speaker 1: there are certain texts that always come in from the listeners.
34:03
Speaker 1: One of them is move Excel to tight end. Another
34:05
Speaker 1: one Bone is make Luke the defensive coordinator. Like, I mean,
34:09
Speaker 1: anytime Bone the defense has a bad week, I guarantee
34:14
Speaker 1: you you're going to get multiple texts that week on
34:17
Speaker 1: the text line saying make Luke a defensive coordinator.
34:21
Speaker 4: It's inevident, but it's made Bill cower Head coach and Luke.
34:27
Speaker 1: Oh yes, somebody says, yeah, she's a PA with Ortho Carolina.
34:31
Speaker 1: I read something very interesting about Luke from Darren Gant
34:34
Speaker 1: Panthers dot com.
34:35
Speaker 2: He wrote a great piece about Luke and his They
34:37
Speaker 2: were together at the Hurricane Stanley Cup Finals game when
34:39
Speaker 2: he was there.
34:40
Speaker 4: You go there you go, there's some scoop for you.
34:42
Speaker 1: A great piece bone from Darren Gant on Panthers dot
34:46
Speaker 1: Com about Luke and the Keighley family and kind of
34:48
Speaker 1: like how he grew up and stuff. Luke Keighley's brother
34:52
Speaker 1: is I believe in his residency like very early on
34:55
Speaker 1: in a medical career himself in Charlotte. His brother Henry,

35:05
Speaker 1: what a lucky guy he is. So he's living with Luke.
35:07
Speaker 1: And he was telling Darren Gant. Darren asked him, can
35:11

35:18
Speaker 1: he said I love it. He said, my brother is awesome.
35:21
Speaker 1: I love talking about him. So anyway, it's a really
35:23
Speaker 1: cool piece from Darren ol Walker the great Walker Mayo
35:27
Speaker 1: walkie Talkie. Saw him out in the wild there he is.
35:32

35:35
Speaker 1: if this was true or not. Saw Luke Keikley at
35:38
Speaker 1: an outback steakhouse.
35:41
Speaker 4: That's he goes eating a bloomin onion.
35:43
Speaker 1: That's how down to earth I bet he was. That's
35:45
Speaker 1: how down to earth Luke is. He's hanging at the

Speaker 1: Outback Steakhouse like he's t bone y'all on of us,

36:29
Speaker 1: gonna laugh them off. A lot of people reacting to
36:32
Speaker 1: the news that reportedly Atlanta is signing Cooper Rush. They
36:36
Speaker 1: have a situation right now where they need somebody to
36:38
Speaker 1: throw the football when they start camp tomorrow. Bone Pinnick

36:58
Speaker 1: Rush Laurie is uh believe laughing at the at the
37:01
Speaker 1: Falcon's misfortune.
37:03
Speaker 4: Actual, we thought Cooper Rush.
37:04
Speaker 2: I thought the names recently of available quarterbacks, just to
37:09
Speaker 2: see if there's anyone out just to look, and Cooper
37:11
Speaker 2: Rush was one of the better names out there. Actually thought,
37:13
Speaker 2: would Cooper Rush be a better backup quarterback than Kenny Pickett?
37:17
Speaker 2: I think about that last week.
37:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I I think I might rather
37:21
Speaker 1: have Cooper Rush. Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I'm
37:24
Speaker 1: trying to bring a big bed.
37:26
Speaker 2: At least he's always done a little more than Kenny
37:28
Speaker 2: Pickett's done.
37:28
Speaker 4: I mean, Kenny Pikett. What what team are we for him?
37:31
Speaker 5: Five?
37:31
Speaker 1: I mean it's just in a short period passed around Ben,

37:51
Speaker 2: of the United States men's national team.
37:54
Speaker 4: Per the Athletic. How about that?
37:56
Speaker 1: That could be really cool, Although I do wonder what
37:58
Speaker 1: the contract looks like because I do worry about all
38:01
Speaker 1: these big European clubs want him every year.
38:03
Speaker 6: We also have some Panther quarterback news. Former Buccaneers QB
38:07

Speaker 2: sacrifice your eyebrows? She could have them right now now.
39:38

Speaker 2: eyebrows at the Panthers win a Super Bowl.
39:44
Speaker 1: We can do it live on the air, right, mark
39:46
Speaker 1: that down. But I will not go for the singing

39:52
Speaker 2: them for you hate them. They're trying toil us, aren't they.
39:55
Speaker 2: It's just you look weird if you don't have them.

Speaker 4: I look weird. It's an aesthetic thing. I look weird
40:00

Speaker 2: without eyebrows.
40:05
Speaker 1: But if you see someone without eyebrows, you're like, WHOA,
40:08

Speaker 1: Pitty eyebrow in my eyebrows, panity eyebrows on the line.
40:17
Speaker 4: You in Oh hell? Yah? Alright? Baby? Are you in bone?
40:22
Speaker 4: How I might do that? Be the bears a bone?
40:26
Speaker 1: I gotta what the bleep, Mike Grabel, I gotta do
40:29
Speaker 1: this man? This man has or do I praise this man?
40:34
Speaker 1: This second straight presser bone. Earlier in this week, the
40:38
Speaker 1: day after he went into his first training camp presser
40:42
Speaker 1: with a little puppy in his arms because they were
40:44
Speaker 1: doing like a dog adoption day at the facility, and
40:47
Speaker 1: people called it a canine shield because no one asked
40:51
Speaker 1: him any questions about the Diana Rossini scandal because he
40:54
Speaker 1: was holding an adorable puppy. You couldn't do that to
40:57
Speaker 1: him with a puppy. Did you see what he did?
40:59
Speaker 1: In his next prescot?
41:00
Speaker 4: What's that?
41:01
Speaker 1: He shows up on the podium and alerts everybody. The
41:04
Speaker 1: first question goes to the young daughter of one of
41:07
Speaker 1: the Patriot reporters in town, and this girl gets up
41:10
Speaker 1: and asks him a question about him going to Taylor
41:12
Speaker 1: Swift's wedding.
41:14
Speaker 4: I know what you're up to, little girls, puppies.
41:17
Speaker 1: Mike Rabel is going to have a new living prop
41:19
Speaker 1: bone at every press conference as he continues to try
41:23
Speaker 1: to avoid doing real talk about what he did wrong
41:26
Speaker 1: in his marriage.
41:27
Speaker 4: What the bleep? What the bleep? I'm on to you, man,
41:29
Speaker 4: but it is borderline genius. Yeah, what's next? What's he
41:32
Speaker 4: have next? I don't know.
41:34
Speaker 1: Maybe it's got to be a baby next, like a baby,
41:37
Speaker 1: what else? A little kitten?
41:37
Speaker 4: Could he try? A kitten? Old lady and old lady?
41:40
Speaker 4: An old lady?
41:41
Speaker 1: Although he announces he announces he helped the old lady
41:44
Speaker 1: across the street through traffic, that that'll be an out.
41:46
Speaker 2: Although he's probably not allowed near many ladies at the moment. Honestly,
41:49
Speaker 2: old or young, does missus Rabel even let him around
41:52
Speaker 2: eighty two year old women.
41:54
Speaker 4: I wouldn't let him around. Granny Pataphon was missus Rabel.
41:57
Speaker 4: She's a fristie.
42:00
Speaker 2: Anyway, Mac, we're going to go to Florida in an
42:02
Speaker 2: area called the Villages, where a sixty seven year old
42:05
Speaker 2: man named David O'Brien met a twenty one year old
42:08
Speaker 2: woman on tender and offered to pay her one thousand
42:12
Speaker 2: dollars for dinner and shopping. He took her shopping for ldree,
42:16
Speaker 2: gave her two hundred dollars, and la later handed her
42:20
Speaker 2: in additional six hundred dollars at his home. After feeling
42:25
Speaker 2: uncomfortable inside his home, the woman called her three friends
42:28
Speaker 2: to pick her up, prompting O'Brien to demand his money back.
42:32
Speaker 2: As the group drove away, O'Brien chased them in his
42:35
Speaker 2: four to one fifty and rammed their car into a
42:38
Speaker 2: pole until it was disabled. O'Brien pulled a semi automatic handgun.
42:43
Speaker 2: The friends had threatened to kill him before the group escaped.
42:47
Speaker 2: Now he's got charges of aggravated assault with the deadly
42:49
Speaker 2: weapon and four counts of aggravated battery.
42:52
Speaker 1: Mac.
42:53
Speaker 2: That's how Florida man does. First dates on Tender unbelievable, man,
42:57
Speaker 2: I mean, if you think you've had a rough first.
42:59
Speaker 4: Oh crap, what the believe we do? I'm in a
43:02
Speaker 4: story extreme for Florida.
43:03
Speaker 2: Man, it went from a date at the cheesecake factory
43:06
Speaker 2: to uh aggregated assault.
43:08
Speaker 1: I thought that date where Fitty was put on a
43:10
Speaker 1: clock and given no second date immediately, I thought that
43:13
Speaker 1: was a bad first date.
43:14
Speaker 2: Fitty apparently not. No comment, what's the worst first day
43:20
Speaker 2: you've been on?
43:21
Speaker 4: The last one? For a time clock, secure second date?
43:27
Speaker 1: Fitty had to do clock management like an NFL head
43:29
Speaker 1: coach at a two minute drill. Man, you have forty
43:31
Speaker 1: five minutes to woo all right, Bony, you showed me
43:35
Speaker 1: this story. For some reason, you thought this was perfect
43:37
Speaker 1: for me. I wonder why researchers bone have studied, according
43:42
Speaker 1: to New York Post, how frequently we pass gas on
43:46
Speaker 1: a given Sorry, all right, this is a farting study.
43:49
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie to you. The University of Maryland,
43:52
Speaker 1: Maryland did this, of course they did. University of Maryland
43:56
Speaker 1: created they called the turns. They created smoke. They created
44:01
Speaker 1: a smart underwear, a small device that snaps on the
44:05
Speaker 1: underwear and sensors track your farts automatically, and they have
44:09
Speaker 1: come to the conclusion that the average person passes gas
44:13
Speaker 1: five times a day. Can I tell you, bun, Can
44:17
Speaker 1: I tell you that I have finally found something that
44:20
Speaker 1: Fitty and I are above averaging in this world fit.
44:23
Speaker 4: I'm about you. I guys are like a horn section
44:25
Speaker 4: of a band. I am bone.
44:27
Speaker 1: I go above the average before we get on the
44:29
Speaker 1: air at six am.
44:34
Speaker 4: And how about this stat. This is an amazing You're
44:36
Speaker 4: gonna break the smart underwear.
44:38
Speaker 1: This is an amazing about underwear will be dumb as
44:40
Speaker 1: a door knob by I get done with it.
44:43
Speaker 4: This is an amazing stat.
44:44
Speaker 1: How about this one too, Women far four point eight
44:48
Speaker 1: times a day on average and men five point two.
44:51
Speaker 4: I never would have would you ever thought it was
44:53
Speaker 4: that close?
44:55
Speaker 2: No, but the dogs also crazy. The dogs also get
44:59
Speaker 2: blamed three point nine times per day.
45:03
Speaker 4: Ladies, Ladies, I didn't know. I didn't know, Ladies.
45:06
Speaker 2: My storymack Here. The TSA has put out a statement
45:10
Speaker 2: that you are now allowed to bring live lobsters on
45:13
Speaker 2: has carry on items.
45:15
Speaker 4: Of course, you are back to you back with more.
45:17
Speaker 4: Why wouldn't you be man?
45:18
Speaker 2: No, don't bring your shampoo conditioner on as a carry on,
45:21
Speaker 2: but you can bring a live lobster.
45:23
Speaker 4: What the belief is the is that all about?
45:25
Speaker 1: By the way, shout out to the person in Colorado
45:29
Speaker 1: that came out to their suv in the morning and
45:32
Speaker 1: found a bear in there, hitting the horn repeatedly. A
45:37
Speaker 1: bear in gold Hill, Colorado climbed into someone's suv and
45:41
Speaker 1: somehow the door shut and this dude was in there
45:44
Speaker 1: beeping the horn trying to get help until the guy
45:47
Speaker 1: that owns the suv and the house came out and
45:50
