• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Shout out to the folks over there at the Dilworth
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Neighborhood Grill, Boney. They hit another home run with their
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: weekly signs during Panther season. This one was beautiful. It
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: says at the top, it's going to be a long season.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: And you're like, oh, shoot, what does this say? We
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: just won.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: And then it says, for the Bryce haters.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: Ow!
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: That is well played, baby, right there. Well played. That
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: sign went over so well in the studio. Fitty has
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: said maybe they're going to get one of his lunches
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: out this week.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Hey, when you get a Fitty lunch, y'all, you're going
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: to be rolling in the dough.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: There's going to be a lot of food orders. Because
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: that's not a man that travels alone. He either has
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: his woman or flounder with him at all times.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Or pee. That Fitty pee lunch happens a lot.
• 1:03
  Speaker 5: He does owe me pastrami for my birthday.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: There you go, baby. There you go. Make it happen.
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: Matt, quick note here while we're going to talk Panthers.
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: I know it's not pressing in the immediate today, but
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: Saquon Barkley is week to week. The Panthers' next opponent,
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: we were asking yesterday, what's Barkley's status? Don't know about
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: Barkley for the London game this week, but it's not
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: a long-term thing. So keep that in mind as we
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: get closer. It's a hamstring for him. So he's in
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: a similar boat to Jalen Phillips. He doesn't have a
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: bye week, though, right, to get healthy.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: But Jalen Phillips is a hamstring who Canales said he's
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: hopeful can play, but not certain for the Philly game.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Monroe Freeling, knee injury. He's hopeful he can play. And
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: the best news, Bone, HN, Canales said, will be back
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: for the Philly game. And Moten and Turk Wharton. It
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: sounds like they're getting close. They need medical clearance, right?
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Like Wharton for the contact with the neck injury and
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Moten just for the doctor's blessing coming off a blood
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: clot in the lung. But he says both those guys
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: have been pushed really hard physically, and they're about there.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: Remember, we saw Turk at camp working hard. We thought, oh, man,
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: he might not be far off from doing a lot
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: of stuff when the season began. So it does make
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: a lot of sense that after the bye week, we're
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: starting to tread towards– his return as well 100 that's
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: a nasty injury too though for that position to putting
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: your head down and getting it that's a that's a
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: nasty thing to have to deal with is a neck injury.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah you can't mess with that and you can't
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: mess with blood clots but it does sound like we're
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: getting pretty damn close all right let's do it despite
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: granny pat's issues with bryce young on the text line
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: i thought she was happy a day ago what happened
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: to granny she says we're not.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: Giving enough love to the performance of what chuba and
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: t-mac did to make bryce really good.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: But They were both great, though, man.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: But Bryce is the most pressured quarterback in the NFL,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: and he's balling the hell out. And he's lost three,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: four offensive linemen, four by the end of the game.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: He is missing his second and third wide receiver. I mean,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: come on.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: We can spread the love around. Granny, it's not an either-or.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Granny, get on your phone, make some phone calls, and
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: go call Bebop if you want to be negative.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: All right, let's, by the way. Bebop, again, having car
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: trouble today, so he can't text as much. It's a shame.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: It's a shame. Ashery, Ashery.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Ashley Stroh with the Stroh Show coming up at 925.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: We'll have some fun and see what she thought of
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: that primetime performance by Bryce, T-Mac, and Chuba and the boys.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: But right now, Talking Heads Talking Bryce. The national media
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: talking heads are loving the performance of Bryce Young, and
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: let's let you hear some of it. It starts with
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: John Gruden on Wake Up Barstool raving about Bryce.
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: I think Bryce Young deserves a lot of credit. I mean,
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: if you want to pick the top two or three
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: players in the NFL in the first month of the season,
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: Bryce Young is one of them. That ball comes out
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: of his hands. I mean, I don't even see it leave.
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: He is playing incredibly for Carolina. I mean, he moves around.
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: He can scramble. He sees the field. He's tough in
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: the pocket. And they're scoring. They got great receivers, great design.
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: Canales is doing an excellent job.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: So he, so we say Boney's. That was really John Cruden,
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: not Frank Caliendo, right?
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Every time I hear his voice and I'm not seeing him,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: it makes me think, is this an impression or a real,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: like he's one of those voices that gets impersonated.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: So much, but I'm like, is this the real one? Yes,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: it's the real one.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: You and I bone get ripped, get called homers, not
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: by a lot of you, but a few of you
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: for like saying, we think he's playing top five quarterback ball.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: John Gruden says he is one of the two or
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: three best players in the NFL season so far.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: So put that in your pipe and smoke it. That's
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: a guy that knows more football than we... Slightly. He's
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: forgotten more football than we'll ever know. Mac, it's not
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: just the stats. It's the throws that he's making. We
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: talked yesterday about that floater throw that he had that
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: was just perfect touch. How about the tremendous throw on
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: the sideline where T-Mac gets full credit for getting his
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: feet down as well. But it's not just the numbers.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: It's the way that he's playing the game. in the
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: throws that he's making i thought he was too i
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: thought he was too small to make throws like that
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: though are we not is that not a thing anymore
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: what happened that 280 yards over the middle of the
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: field we were told he can't throw over the middle
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: of the field because he's too small so he continues
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: to do things that skeptics said he could not and
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: now the only skeptics it appears are on the text
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: line bone or on twitter Because now you hear all
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: these talking heads.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Just raving about it.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Dan Orlovsky also yesterday on multiple ESPN shows raving about Bryce.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Listen to where he puts him, what category he puts
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: him in so far this season.
• 5:40
  Speaker 7: Progress, Dan, if you've seen, though, from Bryce Young.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: Well, he's been a top five quarterback in football through
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: the first month. Number one, his arm is absolutely stronger
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: than when he came.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Into the league.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: That does not happen often. Arm has gotten stronger. I
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: think two operational space. He owns the pocket right now
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: for a guy that is not your big prototypical six
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: foot four plus guy.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: And then windows.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: He's seeing them before they happen for a player that
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: got benched. 14 months ago, his ability to see the defense,
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: anticipate the window, throw it to the spot beforehand while
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: also navigating just those small spaces in the pocket is
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: kind of rare. I think him and Brock Purdy right
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: now are the two best quarterbacks in football when it
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: comes to owning anticipation and owning the space in the pocket.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: That is that three by three phone booth spot.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: The two smallest quarterbacks, right?
• 6:31
  Speaker 7: We tell you right now are the best.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Ready, Mackers? Dan-o, Dan-o, Dan-o, Dan-o, Dan-o, Dan-o. Way better
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: than his food tanks.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: As I said to him on Twitter yesterday, we're sorry
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: about what we said about the way we reached this
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: pizza's cup. We were in a bad spot. Things were sad.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: We don't mean that, Dan-o. We also need you on
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: the show, baby.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Definitely, definitely.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: So I was told yesterday, Mac, by Bryce Hader on
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: Twitter for many hours of my fight, Jordan Cork, that
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: he knows more football than all these people. So keep
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: that in mind that I have a guy out there
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: claiming he knows more than.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: We need to get him here from him in the
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: talking head segment.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: Maybe you can see plenty on Twitter. He studied the game, though,
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: in some some dungeon back in the early 2000s. How
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: about the interesting stuff in there about Orlovsky? And we
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: even got Chris Simms' praise on deck. That's amazing, isn't it?
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: But Orlovsky said.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Top five quarterback right now, the way he's playing, he
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: says his arm's gotten stronger since he came into the league,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: which is an interesting comment. And then the one that
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: really got me is... the way in the phone booth bone,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: he commands by moving around in the pocket. It's not
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: just when he hits the escape hatch like he did
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: on the ran away outside to the right from Hutchinson
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: and that dime to T-Mac who had the double toe
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: drag swag. It's not just outside the pocket. Watch his
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: moving inside the pocket, just shifting a little bit here
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: away from this guy.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Let me step up.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: Boom.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: And then the arm angles like JJ was talking about earlier.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Let me step up, slide here. Let me hit you
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: with a quiz and Barry.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Like I just, man, he
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: is just an artist at work right now.
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: He is. Is that too old school for people? You
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: don't get that everywhere. Let me hit you with that Quisenberry.
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: You went way old school. That might be too old
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: for people. The old reliever to use to throw sidearm.
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: I probably could have done more modern. I guess you
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: got a little Chris Sale there a little bit. Got
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: an arm slot there a little bit. Could have gone
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: a little modern, maybe. Not quite as much as Quisenberry. Chris,
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: Chris Berry's just a fun name to say too, man.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Um, all right, let's go to, uh, Chris Sims, uh,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: PFT with Florio, uh, talking about what he saw from
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Bryce and the Panthers offense on Sunday night football.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: They can run the ball.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: You heard early on in the game, right?
• 8:44
  Speaker 8: Collinsworth was kind of saying, he's kind of like a
• 8:47
  Speaker 8: second baseman. So early on in the game, it's just
• 8:49
  Speaker 8: these little short throws and like boom, boom, boom, boom.
• 8:53
  Speaker 8: And they kind of just slowly pick you apart that
• 8:56
  Speaker 8: way to then they get you to kind of creep up.
• 8:58
  Speaker 8: And then all of a sudden it's like, oh, we're
• 9:00
  Speaker 8: going to fake that. And we're going to hit you,
• 9:01
  Speaker 8: you know, deeper down the football field than behind you now.
• 9:05
  Speaker 8: And that's where they're damn good. I mean, they got
• 9:06
  Speaker 8: a good offense. They really do. And he's playing really
• 9:10
  Speaker 8: damn good on top of that. He's got, like you said,
• 9:13
  Speaker 8: I think what you're saying, he's just got great feel.
• 9:15
  Speaker 8: He's got great feel in how to slide and how
• 9:17
  Speaker 8: to move and where the launch point should be to
• 9:20
  Speaker 8: throw the football. You're not going to go, wow, what
• 9:23
  Speaker 8: a laser. But there's so many throws that you just go, damn,
• 9:26
  Speaker 8: that was a good throw. Damn, that was great touch. Damn,
• 9:29
  Speaker 8: that was great feel in the pocket to make that
• 9:31
  Speaker 8: happen there. And that's where we're seeing Bryce Young grow
• 9:33
  Speaker 8: right in front of our eyes. And then, damn, they
• 9:36
  Speaker 8: got a damn good play caller, as we know.
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: I bring this up all the time, and we're never
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: really going to know because it feels like he's more
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: in a stealth, behind-the-scenes role. But we've talked about Brad
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: Idzik's play calling, how that affects Canales. We can't forget, like,
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: what kind of work is Daryl Bevel doing with Bryce
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: Young also? But the elements that we're seeing now, the
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: confidence We said it during the way he's played well,
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: the Russell Wilson elements to his game that we're kind
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: of seeing there, the escapability, the eyes down the field,
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: the moon balls down the field. I do wonder how
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: much impact Bevel's having just by his presence with Bryce Young.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Definitely doesn't hurt to have an experienced guy on the
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: staff that played with a quarterback that you think, hey,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Bryce could be similar.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: You know, similar to that.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: I know that that throw bone where he escaped Hutchinson
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: and hit– I saw Russ do something similar to that
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: here in Charlotte. And when he actually I forget the
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: guy he hit on the sideline. He had David Moore
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: for the game winner that day, unfortunately, with Seattle to
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: beat the Panthers. But he just threw a prayer to
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: the sideline pinpoint. The guy got his feet in and
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: I was like, how do you stop that? And that's
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: how Lions fans had to feel Sunday night. How do
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: you stop that throw and catch?
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: Russell Wilson will throw a lot of those sideline passes
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: to those wideouts that will get their feet down.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: On the move and just pinpoint on the move. And
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Bryce has that ability, man. And the baseball analogy, Collinsworth
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: said it. Sims agreed with it.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: J.J. brought it up. And J.J. actually told us today
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: that Bryce comes out to practice. It was probably Tyler Lockett,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: by the way. Bryce, I think it was. I think
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: it was.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Bryce comes out to practice with a basketball. and messes
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: around with the basketball before practice. But JJ said, dude,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: the way you throw different arm angles is like baseball.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Like he made the Collinsworth point to Bryce. And Bryce said, no, man, basketball.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: I'm a point guard dishing the ball. So Bryce leans
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: into the whole point guard narrative. I know some people,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: you know, some people don't love the point guard narrative,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: but there is a lot of truth to it. And
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Bryce literally sees himself that way, which I think is cool.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: All right, Daniel Jeremiah is next up on his Move
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: the Sticks podcast, raving about Bryce Young because why wouldn't he?
• 11:48
  Speaker 7: You know, it's interesting. When I go back through and
• 11:50
  Speaker 7: look at my notes on Bryce Young when he was
• 11:52
  Speaker 7: coming out, one of the things I talked about was
• 11:54
  Speaker 7: all the RPOs, how quick his hands are. And as
• 11:58
  Speaker 7: a distributor, he's a point guard. He's a point guard quarterback.
• 12:01
  Speaker 7: That's his style. And if you looked at my Tedaroa
• 12:03
  Speaker 7: McMillan notes, talk about him being a power forward. you know,
• 12:07
  Speaker 7: kind of how he plays and using his frame. And
• 12:09
  Speaker 7: I'm like, this is the perfect compliment for Bryce's game.
• 12:13
  Speaker 7: You know, a lot of the league's gotten away from
• 12:14
  Speaker 7: the RPO stuff. You see a lot of RPOs in
• 12:16
  Speaker 7: this game because Bryce is so good at it. And
• 12:19
  Speaker 7: then you have such an inviting target, those little slant routes.
• 12:22
  Speaker 7: He can take those anytime he wants them with McMillan
• 12:25
  Speaker 7: off that ball action. And they are tremendous at it.
• 12:28
  Speaker 7: They just kill blitzers. You want to blitz them. Bryce
• 12:30
  Speaker 7: Young's seeing the field so well right now. A lot
• 12:33
  Speaker 7: of times, You'll see a blitz. As soon as you
• 12:35
  Speaker 7: identify the blitz, you'll see quarterbacks who will speed up
• 12:37
  Speaker 7: and hurry. And I want to beat the blitz. Go, go, go.
• 12:40
  Speaker 7: But he's got such a quick release, even as a
• 12:42
  Speaker 7: shorter player. He'll invite the blitz to get in a
• 12:45
  Speaker 7: little bit more and just give his receiver a little
• 12:47
  Speaker 7: bit more time to work so he can actually win
• 12:50
  Speaker 7: and separate. And then not only are you getting a conversion,
• 12:52
  Speaker 7: you can get a big play off of it. Bryce Young,
• 12:55
  Speaker 7: he's playing great, man. We've talked about it before, about
• 12:57
  Speaker 7: the guys really playing for their check in terms of
• 13:01
  Speaker 7: new contracts. He continues to be the leader of the
• 13:03
  Speaker 7: pack of who's helping himself the most.
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: 88%– excuse me, 89% against the Blitz on Sunday night.
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: 153.2 rating versus the Blitz. He destroyed it. Number one
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: in the league for this week. He destroyed it. Yeah. No,
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: I need to step outside for a minute here. I'm
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: getting sweaty. What's happening?
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Go take a cold shower and settle yourself down. Do
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: we have anything else? How many do we have? This
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Bryce love is intoxicating. I'm addicted.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: I want to do nothing but listen to guys praise
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Bryce for the rest of my afternoon. Honeydew list out
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: the dang window. I'm just listening to people talk good
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: about Bryce.
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: How many more do we have left?
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: God, it's beautiful.
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: It's a never-ending vault.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: You want more, Boney? Are you feeling it? Give me
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: one more. Give me one more hit.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: You can't stop, can you? One more hit of that
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Bryce Praise, baby. I'm telling you right now, someone in
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Charlotte ought to name a new strain to Bryce Praise
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: because that is some addictive stuff, Boney, that'll get you
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: feeling good.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: All right, let's go, Fitty, to— Why did you say
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: it that way? Do we go Ocho? Ocho's Mr.
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: Panther.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Ocho.
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: I don't think we can go Marshawn Lynch.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Self-proclaimed. Oh, I don't even know. I didn't fit. Did
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: you even get the Marshawn Lynch?
• 14:10
  Speaker 9: No, we can't.
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: We can't.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: We can't possibly.
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: Did not fool Marshawn.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: What did he do? He cussed like 90% of the
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: praise of Bryce.
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: What he would really need in 45 seconds, 45 bleeps.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: Marshawn, hey, we appreciate the sentiment. We can't use you
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: on the air, though, bro.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: All right, here's Chad Ocho Cinco on Nightcap talking about
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Bryce Young.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: You know he's excited about this.
• 14:32
  Speaker 10: Hey, Chad, what did I tell you about them Panthers, Joe?
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: They real.
• 14:35
  Speaker 11: They real, Ocho.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: They real.
• 14:37
  Speaker 7: I know they real.
• 14:38
  Speaker 10: And let me tell you, all y'all in the chat,
• 14:39
  Speaker 10: don't jump on the bandwagon now because I told you
• 14:41
  Speaker 10: last year. I told you last year they were my
• 14:43
  Speaker 10: dark horse team along with Chicago. They played extremely well. Obviously,
• 14:47
  Speaker 10: you saw what Chicago did once Ben Johnson got over there.
• 14:50
  Speaker 10: And I told you, Bryce Young, once he got benched,
• 14:53
  Speaker 10: once he got benched, I don't know.
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: What happened to him.
• 14:55
  Speaker 10: I don't know what prayer he said, but he been playing–
• 14:59
  Speaker 10: Almost cursed. He's been playing extremely well football since that point.
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: And if Dave.
• 15:04
  Speaker 10: Tepper had any inclination of not knowing who the quarterback
• 15:08
  Speaker 10: of the future was for the Carolina Panthers, the way
• 15:10
  Speaker 10: Bryce Young is playing right now, they might as well
• 15:12
  Speaker 10: sign that contract right now. They might as well get
• 15:16
  Speaker 10: that deal. Matter of fact, while the season going on,
• 15:18
  Speaker 10: because he's going to be the quarterback for the Panthers
• 15:20
  Speaker 10: for the foreseeable future.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: Hell yes. Get those tepee bucks ready.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Dave, get those tepee bucks ready because Bryce is earning
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: a lot of them, man.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: I just see it right now. Dan Oroski woke up
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: this morning praising Bryce on Twitter. This guy couldn't sleep
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: last night.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: They can't stop either. I can't stop listening to y'all.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Y'all can't stop talking. You know what I think it
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: is that they... Um, uh, that some, somebody texted in
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: and said, I think they love praising someone different.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: It's a different story. And there probably is some of that.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: I think when you hear a lot of these guys
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: talk about his story bone of the benching and then
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: his stats post benching.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: And how he responded to the benching, he didn't whine.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: He didn't complain. He didn't pitch a fit.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: It really is a lesson for how our kids playing
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: sports can handle adversity. You get benched, you have a
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: rough game, just keep your head down and keep working.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: And that's what Bryce did. And I think a lot
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: of people like that story of redemption for Bryce Young.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: I think that might be.
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: Part of it, too. Remember, also, a lot of people
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: like Bryce before the draft, and I think that they
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: probably got a lot of flack for the way he
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: performed early. So I think it's really the first time
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: in Fulmac that The Daniel Jeremiah's, the Orlovsky's, those that touted.
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: I'm just using those for examples. But guys that touted
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: Bryce pre NFL career can now finally say, oh, look
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: what happens when you give a guy time to develop.
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: One hundred percent. A little bit of you said a
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: lot about my talk about what they're thinking. A lot's
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: been made about what I said about blank quarterback in
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: the draft. But now look over time what that dude.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: So there's some of that going on. It's exciting, man.
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: It is exciting. And I do feel like we have
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: our franchise quarterback. I realize the text line is going
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: to say four games. And, you know, those defenses we
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: played against and all that stuff. I just want to
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: say something about the Bears defense, because we got we
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: got Xavier. We got a couple, not many, but a
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: couple other people saying, let's see him do it against
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: good defenses. The Bears' defense stunk last year, and we
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: expected them to stink when we put 37 on them.
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: But since they played us, Bone, they have given up
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: 26 total.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Points in three games.
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Nine points a game. So I just want to
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: put that out there. Now, they did play the Jets,
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: a high-level college team. That, that was team has scored
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: the most on him. The Eagles were held to seven
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: and the Vikings were held to nine. Um, so they,
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: we scored 11 more points against the bears defense than
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: those three teams have combined. Hmm.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: So just going to leave that there for some of y'all.
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: People also pointing out that Aikman and Joe Buck were
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: raving about Bryce on the broadcast last night.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Hell yeah, that warmed the, is it cockles of my heart?
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Is that what I'm supposed to say? Yeah, I think
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: that's in your heart. I don't know what's warmed on you.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: That was cool to hear that too.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: We come back.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: It's the Stro Show. Ashley Strohwein talks Bryce and more.
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.

• 18:39
  Speaker 1: the bye week, Bo? I don't know what the schedule
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: is for the fellas. I'm not sure how that operates.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: I don't know what the.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Schedule is for the fellas. By the way, check out
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: the podcast. We've had a fun show today. A lot
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: of raving about Bryce. A lot of celebrating the win,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: celebrating the fact that we sit here in first place,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: albeit in a drunk, weird, wacky division that has seen
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: the Falcons rebound from the 34-3 butt whooping we gave them.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: with their second straight road route last night to the Saints.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Saints are now down to one and three. So a
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: lot of interesting conversations to be had about the division,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: and we did that today on the show. So check
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: out your podcast, WFNZ.com, Apple, Spotify, wherever you get your podcasts.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: Right now, you heard the music. It is time for
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: the Stro Show.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: And I'll be honest, Bone, sometimes we may, you know,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: it may take a while for us to get that
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: commitment from Stro, that she is with us. She is not,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: you know, scheduled to do something else. And she is
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: going to be on the Stro Show, on the Mac
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: and Bone Show. It was the middle of the Panther
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: game on Sunday night and Stroh texted us to let
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: us know that she is in, she is ready to go,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: and we got a hell of a game from Sunday
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: night to talk about.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Stroh, what's going on? What's happening?
• 19:59
  Speaker 11: Oh, good morning. What's up, Stro? Well, I'll be fair.
• 20:02
  Speaker 11: Sometimes you guys cancel the segment on me, so it's
• 20:06
  Speaker 11: not just me. Sometimes you can't get a hold of.
• 20:08
  Speaker 11: But yes, I did let you know Sunday because I
• 20:10
  Speaker 11: was like, let's go ahead and book it now. It's
• 20:13
  Speaker 11: not always me.
• 20:14
  Speaker 12: Let's just let the listeners know, okay?
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: That is true.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: I think we, in this relationship, I think we must
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: all take some of the blame. I would agree with that.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: But I'm just glad, Stro, that you are in this week.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: And it is, it's almost like you knew. as that
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: game was playing out in the first half. It's almost
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: like you knew we got something awesome to talk about.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: What did you think of the other night? I mean,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: the performance strove from Price, T-Mac, so many guys with
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: all the injuries, the atmosphere. I mean, that was like
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: an awesome night to be a Panther fan.
• 20:46
  Speaker 11: Yeah, it kind of gave me all the feels, right?
• 20:49
  Speaker 11: Like Sunday Night Football, back at the bank for the
• 20:52
  Speaker 11: first time since 2015. And like you said, we had
• 20:55
  Speaker 11: all the injuries. And one of those things going into
• 20:58
  Speaker 11: the game, you're like, man, I don't know for sure
• 21:00
  Speaker 11: how I think this night is going to go. And
• 21:03
  Speaker 11: then to see the guys perform the way they did,
• 21:06
  Speaker 11: to see Bryce have that night, T-Mac, Zuba, I just
• 21:10
  Speaker 11: thought it was so awesome for them because– you know, it's,
• 21:13
  Speaker 11: it's funny. I'll send you guys, you know, in the
• 21:15
  Speaker 11: group chat, the little Tik TOK edits of what Panthers
• 21:18
  Speaker 11: fans are putting out there, whatever I see on social. And,
• 21:21
  Speaker 11: and someone had to mash up of a back when
• 21:24
  Speaker 11: rice got benched and people were talking to him in
• 21:26
  Speaker 11: locker room. And, and then like, you know, then it
• 21:29
  Speaker 11: goes to like Sunday night and everything and the MVP chance.
• 21:32
  Speaker 11: And so I just think it's so great to see
• 21:35
  Speaker 11: Bryce stick with it and, and be where he's at
• 21:38
  Speaker 11: now and, and leading the Panthers the way he is.
• 21:41
  Speaker 11: And just, to see him smiling after the game and
• 21:44
  Speaker 11: feeling good and being able to have those moments, I
• 21:48
  Speaker 11: think is, is really awesome. And I think just, it's
• 21:51
  Speaker 11: great for the city. I tell everyone, if you weren't
• 21:53
  Speaker 11: here in 2015, you don't understand what, what it does
• 21:56
  Speaker 11: to the city when Panthers win. And the other night
• 21:59
  Speaker 11: walking over for Sunday night football, you know, seeing Jano
• 22:04
  Speaker 11: come out during the game, who was playing in the
• 22:06
  Speaker 11: last Sunday night football game that we had was pretty awesome.
• 22:09
  Speaker 9: Seeing some of the other Panthers legends there as well.
• 22:11
  Speaker 11: So, I just thought it was an overall just awesome night.
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: How justified right now, long way to go, but how
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: justified and how jarring is it to hear MVP chants
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: for Bryce like you're talking about?
• 22:27
  Speaker 11: You know, we talk about our fan base sometimes. I
• 22:29
  Speaker 11: was just happy that they felt like they wanted to
• 22:31
  Speaker 11: do that. I was sitting in the press box and
• 22:33
  Speaker 11: I said– uh-uh, am I hearing this? Oh my goodness,
• 22:37
  Speaker 11: look at you guys go. They were so happy they
• 22:39
  Speaker 11: did MVP pants, so I thought that was awesome. So look,
• 22:45
  Speaker 11: we'll replay Bryce's answer for my answer for that. I
• 22:48
  Speaker 11: think it was great for him to feel that support.
• 22:50
  Speaker 11: I think it was awesome to see the fans feel
• 22:52
  Speaker 11: that good about a product that they're seeing and just
• 22:55
  Speaker 11: be that happy. I just thought it was a really
• 22:58
  Speaker 11: cool moment, obviously. I was like, wow, we are filling
• 23:02
  Speaker 11: in for Sunday night football. But I thought it was
• 23:04
  Speaker 11: a cool moment just to have our fan base get
• 23:07
  Speaker 11: excited like that.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: I love that, man. And he is playing that good. Obviously,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: we've got a long way to go in the season, Stroh.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Don't know if I'm putting my bet down for the
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: season-long MVP. But the first four weeks, he has been awesome.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: And I love hearing the crowd support him like that. Stro,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: last night was an odd moment for me and I
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: think other Charlotte sports fans. I've got SportsCenter on after
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: watching the Falcons somehow put up 45 points against that
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Saints defense that looked horrid. And they show clips of
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: the Timberwolves preseason game. And there is dang lamello ball
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: in that blue Timberwolves uniform. And it's like it's just
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: you knew it was coming, obviously. But it just makes
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: you do a double take. You obviously stroke cover the
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Hornets a ton. You covered the T-Wolves a ton on
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: their TV network last year. What do you think about, like,
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: it's really happening, Stroh. He's really in Minnesota. Like, what
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: do you think about the way this is going to
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: play out, like, for him in Minnesota, but also for
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: the Hornets post-Lomelo?
• 24:13
  Speaker 11: Well, it's definitely interesting, and it is weird, like you said.
• 24:16
  Speaker 11: You're like, oh, it's not purple until anymore. Well, this
• 24:20
  Speaker 11: feels weird. So I think everyone can agree with you
• 24:23
  Speaker 11: that follow the mellow here.
• 24:25
  Speaker 12: When you play with the Hornets, everyone feels that way
• 24:27
  Speaker 12: when they see them in T-Wolves gear. You know, I
• 24:30
  Speaker 12: think like anything, obviously it's preseason, and I'm going to
• 24:33
  Speaker 12: be really curious for Minnesota just when they get into
• 24:37
  Speaker 12: real play and they're going up against other teams in
• 24:40
  Speaker 12: the Western Conference, just how does that.
• 24:43
  Speaker 11: Really work out and how does it work out throughout
• 24:45
  Speaker 11: the season? Obviously those guys get along really well and
• 24:48
  Speaker 11: they've had a really fun off season. But again, how
• 24:52
  Speaker 11: does that, we kind of talked about it before, how
• 24:53
  Speaker 11: does that translate to wins? And we know LaMelo the
• 24:56
  Speaker 11: player and how funny he is to watch and the personality. And,
• 25:00
  Speaker 11: you know, I think maybe it's been.
• 25:02
  Speaker 9: Good for him to be with Ant because.
• 25:04
  Speaker 11: They're similar and maybe he feels a little more free
• 25:07
  Speaker 11: right now and who he can be. But again, it's
• 25:10
  Speaker 11: all about how things translate on the court when you get.
• 25:13
  Speaker 9: To real play after the Hornets.
• 25:16
  Speaker 11: I'm like, not another injury. I was a little sad
• 25:18
  Speaker 11: when I saw the, the Kobe information come out about his,
• 25:21
  Speaker 11: you know, the left calf and all that. And so
• 25:23
  Speaker 11: I just worry about them, uh, With the injury bug
• 25:27
  Speaker 11: as well, I guess I could talk about this a lot,
• 25:30
  Speaker 11: but we need to maybe look into what's going on
• 25:33
  Speaker 11: with our teams in uptown Charlotte. And is there something,
• 25:37
  Speaker 11: some weird curse that some crazy sports.
• 25:40
  Speaker 9: Fan put on them that we don't know about that we.
• 25:42
  Speaker 11: Need to break or something?
• 25:43
  Speaker 9: Because it is just, it's just wild, the injuries.
• 25:45
  Speaker 11: That seem to happen.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: You're blaming me for the injuries.
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: I was looking in the other direction. I didn't want
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: to make direct eye contact. You know what the theory
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: is now, Stroh? There's a Duke Energy power station. I
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: guess that can't help the Hornets. But people blame the
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: Panther rash of injuries on like a Duke Energy power substation,
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: like they do with the Niner injury. So look into
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: that theory. Investigate that theory for us, Stroh.
• 26:12
  Speaker 11: Okay, I'll go down a rabbit hole. I'll let you
• 26:14
  Speaker 11: know what I find on my TikTok scroll about this
• 26:16
  Speaker 11: being the reason, okay?
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: All right, yeah. There you go.
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: So we're getting a few questions from the audience, I
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: should say, courtesy of QC Mechanical, your local HVAC experts.
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: What was your assessment of the Mack and Bone victory
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: dance yesterday?
• 26:33
  Speaker 11: So I got to sit down and watch the full thing.
• 26:35
  Speaker 11: I had a very busy day yesterday. I saw the
• 26:37
  Speaker 11: beginning where, you know, where Mac was coming in and
• 26:42
  Speaker 11: doing his little dance. And so I was like, man,
• 26:45
  Speaker 11: I got to sit down and watch this. But I
• 26:47
  Speaker 11: was dead from Sunday night football. I had to be
• 26:50
  Speaker 11: up for my other gig at 830, worked all day.
• 26:53
  Speaker 11: And then, you know, the ACC crew is in town.
• 26:56
  Speaker 11: So I grabbed dinner. with film real quick.
• 26:59
  Speaker 9: So I got to make up.
• 26:59
  Speaker 11: I got to go back to film study when we
• 27:01
  Speaker 11: get off this call. I know I should have already
• 27:03
  Speaker 11: watched it.
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: It should be watched within one minute after posting. It's
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: the hottest video on the internet. At least watch the
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: first six seconds. Didn't we have somebody tell us earlier
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: they make it six seconds into the video? Or just
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: lie to us.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 27:17
  Speaker 11: I'm supportive right now while we're talking. Keep it going.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: Keep it going.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: I was very proud of- Look for Max Catcrawl there.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: I changed my entrance to a catcrawl coming in there.
• 27:26
  Speaker 11: Wow.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: And I have been told, a lot of ladies out
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: there have told me that was a very sexy way
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: for me to enter the dance studio. Actually, no one's
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: told me that at all. My wife said it was embarrassing.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: But I felt good about it. Pour some sugar on me.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: He's been dubbed over Max Catcrawl now.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Who did that?
• 27:44
  Speaker 11: Is that the song?
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Chris Harmon. That was the song?
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, pour some sugar on me is like the official
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: anthem of the gentlemen's clubs. So Chris Harmon, me crawling
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: on the ground like a cat, has been paired up
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: with that. And it is artistry, I must admit. It
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: is pretty amusing.
• 28:00
  Speaker 9: Well, right now I'm to Bone's tweet where it says,
• 28:04
  Speaker 9: imagine losing on Sunday Night Football and this is the
• 28:06
  Speaker 9: first man you see on the timeline.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: Take that, Lions fans.
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: Take that.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, man.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: People are pointing out that Stroh must be updated on
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: the latest in Finney's relationship. Stroh, this is just heartwarming.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: This is a story that Charlotte can get behind.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: Finney, I don't know.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: You want to tell Stroh where y'all are at? They're
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: together all the time. Philly is like skipping games to watch.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, to hang out with her. He's like skipping
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: through the apple orchards. She has met Maumau. I mean, Stro,
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: this is amazing.
• 28:44
  Speaker 9: I love it.
• 28:44
  Speaker 11: I mean, is Finney going to– does Finney have a
• 28:47
  Speaker 11: comment before I– okay.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: Is he over there? Finney, what do you– how would
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: you put it into words?
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: I mean, Mac, I think you said everything because that's
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: what you do best is you say everything.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: On the show. My bad. I should have let you
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: say it.
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: No, things are great. Yeah, I've met most of her people.
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: She started meeting my people. She met Flounder on Friday.
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: We took Flounder out to dinner. He was well-behaved. She
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: met my maumau, and that was a big step. So, yeah,
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: things are going well. The test is this week because
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: I've got a really busy week with work and some
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: personal stuff, but Mac was given the green light to
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: not have to be with her on Friday to go
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: watch the Heels play basketball. So now I have to
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: make the right decision, and that's to go watch the
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: Heels play.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: You should be allowed to go to the Heels' Hoops
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: exhibition game, right? I think so. Here's the deal, though.
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: You lie to her and don't tell her it's exhibition, though.
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: Tell her it matters.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, she hears that.
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: You got to lie a little bit to make it work.
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: Relationships don't work without lying.
• 29:46
  Speaker 11: There's something on Friday that you guys are supposed to
• 29:48
  Speaker 11: be doing, or you said you've been given the green light, right?
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: So, like, did you have to say, I can't hang
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: out with you because of.
• 29:56
  Speaker 8: This, or.
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: Well, we were just trying to plan our week, and
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: she was asking what all I got going on. Tomorrow's
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: ACC tip-off. That's a busy day. Thursday, I've got six
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: hours of radio, four podcasts. I've got to record Friday.
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: The Heels play Saturday.
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: Four podcasts.
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: Because you've got football and basketball now?
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: And I go locked on Tar Heels on Thursday.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: Man, listen to this dude.
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: And then Saturday's Bama and Georgia. So maybe that 3.30 window?
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: He doesn't even ask for Saturdays because it's college football days.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: Strow, he's sketchy.
• 30:29
  Speaker 9: I think.
• 30:29
  Speaker 11: Go ahead. Oh, no, go ahead.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: What were you going to say?
• 30:32
  Speaker 11: Well, I was just going to say, you know, I
• 30:35
  Speaker 11: do think this week.
• 30:36
  Speaker 9: Is, like you said, going to be a good test, but.
• 30:40
  Speaker 11: I think that we can't lose ourselves in relationships, so
• 30:43
  Speaker 11: I think you've got to go to the game, but
• 30:45
  Speaker 11: you've got to be honest about it. Because sometimes it's
• 30:49
  Speaker 11: all great. I had a neighbor over here, and.
• 30:53
  Speaker 9: They introduced me to the person they were dating.
• 30:55
  Speaker 11: And I was like, well, okay, tell me a little more.
• 30:58
  Speaker 11: They're like, oh, yeah. Well, we've spent the first two
• 31:01
  Speaker 11: weeks together, and I'm like, wow, so this is not
• 31:04
  Speaker 11: going to work out. So I think it's good that
• 31:06
  Speaker 11: you're going to do some things on your own.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: That's a good point.
• 31:10
  Speaker 11: I think you have to. Otherwise, you get too caught
• 31:12
  Speaker 11: up in your little bubble, and then... It just implodes.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: It's too much. Keep that balance. I like that. I
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: like that.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Multiple people, Stroh, find it funny that Finney literally is
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: trying to schedule her in a particular college football game window.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: Like, I'll watch.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: This dude said, Finney literally told her, I got the
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: Heels pit at noon. I got Georgia Bama at 7.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: But that 3.30 window, I can fit you in. I
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: don't really care about any of those games. In between
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: taking care of Max Dawes.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you've got too much going on. I don't know
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: if we can ask you to do that now.
• 31:45
  Speaker 5: Oh, I miss the pups.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: Now I'm thinking about it. Like, yeah, I don't want
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: to get you in trouble with the misses, Finney.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: You know? Bring her over to Max. Somebody said... It
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: doesn't matter to me.
• 31:57
  Speaker 9: Go ahead.
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: Nothing bad will happen there. Nothing ever does happen there.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: No, say no.
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: Say it's a good place to go.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: Hang out.
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: Nothing bad happens there.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: You hear this man stroke?
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: Nothing happens there.
• 32:09
  Speaker 11: Ah, ah.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: This man doesn't know how spicy it is, 21 years
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: of marriage in Stroh. He doesn't know.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: Neither do I, actually, for that matter. We have a
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: texter that has a question for Stroh. We've got to
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: wrap up. Someone's got a question. John says, I can
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: relate to Fitty. I'm always trying to figure out how
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: much sports I can watch that it won't annoy my girlfriend.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: We're still fairly new. It's been three months.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: Stroh, how do you feel like we need to handle
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: the balance between sports fandom and being a good boyfriend?
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: That is a question for you, Stroh. What do you
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: think about that?
• 32:49
  Speaker 11: Well, see, the thing is like, I'm not going to
• 32:51
  Speaker 11: be a little biased because I work in sports. So
• 32:54
  Speaker 11: when we were like joking about city being like, I
• 32:56
  Speaker 11: can work you in this window. That's like, that's my
• 32:59
  Speaker 11: life with friends, family, whatever.
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 33:01
  Speaker 11: And so I, I kind of understand it. Um, But
• 33:05
  Speaker 11: I think it's like anything. You've got to do your
• 33:08
  Speaker 11: best to find the balance, and I think some weeks
• 33:11
  Speaker 11: it's going to be harder than others. Look, I also think.
• 33:16
  Speaker 9: There's a– I'm not going to name names, but there's a–
• 33:20
  Speaker 9: a friend that started.
• 33:22
  Speaker 11: Dating someone and we never see them. And we're like,
• 33:25
  Speaker 11: they've abandoned both of their friends and both of their
• 33:28
  Speaker 11: hobbies and all the things. And I hope we all
• 33:30
  Speaker 11: hope that they're happy together. But then every now and
• 33:32
  Speaker 11: then one of the two of them will take a
• 33:34
  Speaker 11: trip or they'll be gone for work. And then that
• 33:37
  Speaker 11: person will call all of us. And they're like, yeah,
• 33:40
  Speaker 11: I really miss everybody. And we're all like, Yeah, well,
• 33:44
  Speaker 11: we haven't heard from you in a year.
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: So just because you put a.
• 33:47
  Speaker 11: Day off from the relationship doesn't mean that we're here now.
• 33:49
  Speaker 11: And so I just think you got to be You
• 33:52
  Speaker 11: discipline and make sure that you find a good balance.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: Stro, we need to know.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: Okay, so who would you say the name is of
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: that person, Stro?
• 34:00
  Speaker 11: Yeah, no, I'm not going to tell them on the radio. Although,
• 34:03
  Speaker 11: if you catch me on the right day, I might.
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: This is juicy. It's juicy.
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: Is that Wednesday? Because we'll put you on again tomorrow.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: At 9 o'clock.
• 34:13
  Speaker 11: It is the funniest thing. We're like, yep. Months will
• 34:16
  Speaker 11: go by, no one will hear from them or see them,
• 34:18
  Speaker 11: and then all of a sudden, everybody gets a phone
• 34:20
  Speaker 11: call on the.
• 34:21
  Speaker 9: Same day, and we're like, yep, they're home alone.
• 34:23
  Speaker 11: They don't know what to do anymore. We don't want
• 34:26
  Speaker 11: that for Fiddy or our listener here.
• 34:28
  Speaker 9: Oh, man.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: This texter says, Fiddy, the secret is you've got to prioritize.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: Heels games, she should understand that's your team. When you
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: have to watch Bama and Georgia live and can't take
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: her out and watch the game later recorded, that might
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: be a problem.
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: You got to pick and choose your battles.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: Ooh. That is a big game though, Fit.
• 34:51
  Speaker 11: Does she like sports? Does she, would she watch a
• 34:53
  Speaker 11: game with you or go to a game with you?
• 34:55
  Speaker 5: She watched football with Flounder and I for about 20 minutes.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: And she got like bored of it.
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: She had to go.
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: I wasn't complaining.
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: I was kind of sad.
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: Remember, it's always easier early. Eventually, they'll get tired of
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: the sports, and that's when you really got to make
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: the sacrifice.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: Or they just give up.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: My wife hit a point where she's just like, whatever,
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: go watch college football for 12 straight hours, dude.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: Or they give up on you. I'll go watch my shows.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: Or they'll give up on you.
• 35:23
  Speaker 11: I need to know, too, did she get good reviews
• 35:27
  Speaker 11: from Flounder and Mama? She did.
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: Yep, she most certainly did.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: I think the real question is, as AC wants to know,
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: does she still want to be with.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: Fitty after meeting Flounder?
• 35:39
  Speaker 5: Sounds like it.
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: I didn't write AC.
• 35:42
  Speaker 11: Maybe she has a friend for Flounder.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: I know, that'd be nice.
• 35:45
  Speaker 11: I was like, wait a minute.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: Does she have a friend?
• 35:47
  Speaker 11: Double date, yeah.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: That'd be nice. Does she have a friend for Flounder?
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: We're starting the investigative work.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: Okay. There we go. All right. That would be big news.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: That would be big news.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: Stro, you're awesome. We will talk to you next week.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: Thank you for coming on, as always.
• 36:01
  Speaker 11: Appreciate you guys. And I did just watch the full
• 36:04
  Speaker 11: 130 dance video. Pretty epic. And, again, I think, speaking
• 36:09
  Speaker 11: of Fitty and his girl, she's still letting you wear
• 36:12
  Speaker 11: the outfit that you wear for those.
• 36:14
  Speaker 9: So it might be true love.
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: She's letting you be you, Fitz. I like that. That's
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: a good sign. All right, Stroh, we'll talk to you.
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: That is Ashley Strohlein with the Stroh Show on the
• 36:23

• 42:44
  Speaker 1: And then when Bone wanted to bet him on next
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: week's UNC-Duke game, he said he can't do it. He said,
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: you want me to spend my hard-earned money that I
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: put food on the table for my four kids and
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: put it on a football game? How mature would that
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: be as a dad and husband? What an escape hatch
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: from a man that was talking helicopter.
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: We had the same conversation yesterday, and he told me
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: that he can't bet because our friendship is too valuable.
• 43:09
  Speaker 9: What?
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: But he said Duke was going to get blown out.
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: That's why I said bet on it.
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: He's got so many damn excuses, just ready-made excuses to
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: talk trash.
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: And then back right off of it when you ask
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: to bet. This is the same guy that hasn't beaten Miami,
• 43:22

  Speaker 1: runs a law firm that defends all the people that
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: got arrested on the What the Bleep stories on the
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: Mac and Bone show. Sounds like a Virginia fan. Afton
• 43:47

• 43:50
  Speaker 1: the Patriots, apparently. I just heard of them two days ago.
