Transcript
- 0:19Speaker 1: No, I've I've turned left and got super loose, and
- 0:22Speaker 1: so just to keep it straight, I ended up there.
- 0:25Speaker 1: It's unfortunately. You can go back and look at SMT.
- 0:26Speaker 1: I was all over the brakes trying to just get
- 0:28Speaker 1: the spot back, so it says don't go to below
- 0:30Speaker 1: the other line and gain in your position, which I didn't.
- 0:34Speaker 1: I was still third, and I got a shove from
- 0:36Speaker 1: the fifty four to go to second, so technically no
- 0:43Speaker 1: positions were gained doing that. Again. SMT data shows me
- 0:46Speaker 1: try to give it back, but the fifty four just
- 0:49Speaker 1: shoves us by here. So talk to the teams that
- 0:52Speaker 1: we want to do. It's unfortunate, really good day got
- 0:56Speaker 1: spun there by the fifty four and rebounded. It's another
- 1:02Speaker 1: race for Boba. Wallace in company.
- 1:04Speaker 2: Saw you having words with Ty Gibbs there after the race.
- 1:07Speaker 2: Are you guys okay, We'll be fine.
- 1:10Speaker 1: You know, he had an opportunity to give there a
- 1:13Speaker 1: lot and he didn't do that, and so when I
- 1:15Speaker 1: told him that, he quickly went on the defense said,
- 1:18Speaker 1: don't block. When you hit me square in the bumper,
- 1:21Speaker 1: I mean you just ran right into me, so the
- 1:23Speaker 1: block was clean. But yeah, that's Twitter teammates. We don't
- 1:27Speaker 1: race very well.
- 1:28Speaker 3: Ago Bubba Wallace doesn't mince mince words. He does not
- 1:33Speaker 3: mince words. I'm not happy with the penalty that dropped
- 1:38Speaker 3: him bone from second in that amazing freaking finish that
- 1:42Speaker 3: had the winner.
- 1:43Speaker 2: Oh by the way, Ryan Blandy won the race.
- 1:48Speaker 3: Bubba and Carson host Of ar three wide at one
- 1:51Speaker 3: point on the final lap. It was amazing. It happened
- 1:54Speaker 3: shortly before two am. They restarted the race at twelve
- 1:58Speaker 3: oh two last night. But if you stayed up, a
- 2:01Speaker 3: ton of fans stayed at the racetrack, which was awesome.
- 2:05Speaker 3: But yeah, Bubba got pedalized for going below the old line.
- 2:08Speaker 3: He says, basically, I had to make a choice do
- 2:10Speaker 3: I wreck or do I go below the old line?
- 2:13Speaker 3: And also Ty Gibbs spun him earlier in the race,
- 2:16Speaker 3: and they had words after the race. And uh, Bubba
- 2:21Speaker 3: not happy with Tiger. Ty Gibbs was always involved in something.
- 2:24Speaker 3: It feels like there's always something going on there with
- 2:26Speaker 3: Bubba Ba. He doesn't It.
- 2:28Speaker 2: Ticks off a lot of fans. There's two guarantees each week.
- 2:30Speaker 4: Mag Now Bubba was involved with somebody and that Connor
- 2:33Speaker 4: Zill which probably wrecked out early in the race. Okay,
- 2:36Speaker 4: I don't know what it did yesterday, but I'm guessing
- 2:38Speaker 4: it probably didn't finish the race.
- 2:40Speaker 2: Oh man, we're kid.
- 2:41Speaker 3: The racing's amazing. We said it. Man, I don't know
- 2:44Speaker 3: how many of you. I don't know if anybody listened
- 2:45Speaker 3: right now, stayed up to two You imagine how.
- 2:49Speaker 4: Busy those Atlanta or waffle houses outside Echo Park word
- 2:53Speaker 4: about two am when they were when there's stands, when
- 2:56Speaker 4: the stands emptied out, there's still probably got lines thereses
- 3:00Speaker 4: in Georgia.
- 3:01Speaker 3: You think there's some NASCAR fan scraps at the waffle houses
- 3:04Speaker 3: over what happened on the racetrack Atlanta. With the super
- 3:07Speaker 3: Speedway feel with this car, the way they draft, the
- 3:10Speaker 3: way they make runs is so awesome. It was so cool.
- 3:13Speaker 3: I hate to see that happen to Bubba. But the
- 3:14Speaker 3: rules a rule.
- 3:16Speaker 2: Now.
- 3:16Speaker 3: Smoke Texas blew up my phone bone at two am
- 3:19Speaker 3: telling me.
- 3:20Speaker 2: Why this rule sucks.
- 3:22Speaker 3: They do it for safety because at the high speeds
- 3:25Speaker 3: you go down there and get on that apron, your
- 3:27Speaker 3: car could get a little off kilter, you know, and
- 3:30Speaker 3: you could wreck.
- 3:31Speaker 2: But Smoke's point is.
- 3:33Speaker 3: Guys that NASCAR would rather have a guy like Bubba
- 3:36Speaker 3: wreck his car rather than go down there to save it.
- 3:40Speaker 3: You know, so I definitely see Smoke's point. I hate
- 3:43Speaker 3: it for Bubba, There's no doubt about it. Ryan Blainey
- 3:47Speaker 3: had the best car most of the night. But in
- 3:50Speaker 3: super speedway racing, Bone, how often does that guy not
- 3:53Speaker 3: win the race?
- 3:53Speaker 2: A lot?
- 3:54Speaker 3: Yeah, And he kept coming back anytime he got shuffled back,
- 3:56Speaker 3: kept coming back. His mustache. By the way, I'm waiting
- 4:00Speaker 3: for that thing, Bone to just walk off his face,
- 4:03Speaker 3: Like is that? How is that not? Are we gonna
- 4:05Speaker 3: find out Bone that that's not a mustache, but that
- 4:08Speaker 3: is some like a possum or something just living there.
- 4:11Speaker 4: He's he is looking like a small town sheriff right now.
- 4:14Speaker 2: It's great.
- 4:14Speaker 4: But if he was on an Apple TV show Mac
- 4:16Speaker 4: as the small town Sheriff, he wouldn't think twice he looked.
- 4:20Speaker 2: Great in a Taylor Sheridan vehicle. That's all I gotta say.
- 4:23Speaker 4: Maybe that's what he's acting. Maybe he's at me for that.
- 4:27Speaker 4: It's a It's the best stash in the game right now.
- 4:30Speaker 4: I believe like any game like that is that's a
- 4:33Speaker 4: stash that is a that is an all world stash,
- 4:36Speaker 4: like a Rank stash.
- 4:37Speaker 2: It's ridiculous, man, it really is, right.
- 4:39Speaker 4: It does look like he just rip it off though,
- 4:41Speaker 4: like it's a like it's a prop off.
- 4:44Speaker 3: I think it's a living animal. The raccoon. Maybe like
- 4:46Speaker 3: Xavier League got might go up pluck that thing off
- 4:49Speaker 3: and start chowing.
- 4:50Speaker 2: I guess.
- 4:50Speaker 3: I guess he's got to cook it first, though, What
- 4:52Speaker 3: the hell I'm talking about? Oh my goodness. Anyway, good
- 4:56Speaker 3: on Ryan Blaney. It felt like it wasn't to The
- 4:59Speaker 3: Toyota show is a little more balanced among manufacturers. Sure
- 5:02Speaker 3: that will probably changed next week when they go back
- 5:04Speaker 3: to regular racing. But I love the show they put
- 5:07Speaker 3: on Atlanta with these cars. I really do. Uh what
- 5:10Speaker 3: did I want to?
- 5:12Speaker 2: I guess that's it. I guess that's it.
- 5:13Speaker 3: On the NASCAR, we got to talk about Caleb Wilson
- 5:16Speaker 3: some more bone because the Nash shot. We talked about
- 5:18Speaker 3: him in the first hour in the context of him
- 5:20Speaker 3: saying it wasn't my role, but I could always shoot
- 5:23Speaker 3: threes like this when I was at Carolina. The just
- 5:24Speaker 3: didn't want to use me that way, and Hubert Davis
- 5:27Speaker 3: taking criticism for that Caleb Wilson Bone became the apple
- 5:32Speaker 3: of the national media's eye with that thirty five point
- 5:34Speaker 3: performance head to head against Caleb Boozer, No, Cameron, Cameron Boozer.
- 5:40Speaker 2: Why do I get the wrong Boozer? So anyway, Boozer,
- 5:43Speaker 2: by the way, had twenty boozers the point guard. And
- 5:45Speaker 2: why did I say Caleb, who's Caleb? I created a Boozer.
- 5:50Speaker 2: Make your They're just gonna keep coming.
- 5:53Speaker 4: Uh.
- 5:53Speaker 3: I don't want to act like Cameron Boozer was bad Bone.
- 5:56Speaker 3: He had twenty three points. He picked Wilson at one
- 5:59Speaker 3: point at half court when down scored. He hit a
- 6:01Speaker 3: couple of shots over Wilson too. But Caleb Wilson put
- 6:05Speaker 3: on a display seven threes and a display of ridiculous
- 6:10Speaker 3: shot making that just has everybody salivating for him in
- 6:15Speaker 3: the NBA.
- 6:16Speaker 2: Man, it was that was the time.
- 6:18Speaker 3: Now, I didn't know that you'd be hitting pull up
- 6:21Speaker 3: contested threes like that over and over again. But the
- 6:26Speaker 3: that is like, that's the upside bone that I saw,
- 6:30Speaker 3: and so many people saw and said he's going to
- 6:33Speaker 3: be that, he's going to be a better NBA player
- 6:36Speaker 3: even than college.
- 6:37Speaker 2: Man, Like I know, it's one summer league game, so
- 6:40Speaker 2: maybe sit in the best way possible.
- 6:42Speaker 4: He's all gased, no breaks, he doesn't care what what
- 6:46Speaker 4: game it is, summer league regular season. That dude is
- 6:49Speaker 4: going out there like it's the NBA finals. Mac Here
- 6:53Speaker 4: is the problem though, with Boozer, excuse me, with Wilson,
- 6:56Speaker 4: and there I go mess it up. If he's this good,
- 7:00Speaker 4: we haven't really factored in the Bulls getting better along
- 7:03Speaker 4: the way in the East. That's just another team there
- 7:06Speaker 4: that has something to build off of it with their
- 7:08Speaker 4: team in Cale Wilson.
- 7:09Speaker 3: Hey, man, it sounds like the Hornets have a seven
- 7:11Speaker 3: year plan. I think they consulted Matt Ruhles, so maybe
- 7:14Speaker 3: they're not worried about who's gonna be good. But it
- 7:16Speaker 3: is a valid point. Is he going to be a
- 7:18Speaker 3: star and is he going to be able to, you know,
- 7:21Speaker 3: be the next North Carolina players star? In Chicago, it
- 7:25Speaker 3: certainly looked like it.
- 7:27Speaker 4: Man.
- 7:27Speaker 3: Again, it's one summer league game, but I think a
- 7:30Speaker 3: lot of us were looking at and saying his upsides
- 7:33Speaker 3: right up there with the pants and Peterson, and it
- 7:36Speaker 3: sure looked like that on Friday. And the thing about
- 7:39Speaker 3: it too, is he's such a likable dude. I mean,
- 7:42Speaker 3: maybe Carolina haters won't acknowledge it, but or maybe you will.
- 7:46Speaker 2: I don't know. He's such a likable dude.
- 7:48Speaker 3: Everything about him bone you just want. I just want
- 7:53Speaker 3: him to do well. Listen to this clip the other night.
- 7:57Speaker 3: He talked about how emotional he got boned playing in
- 8:01Speaker 3: a Summer League game and he explained why, and it
- 8:04Speaker 3: just mad.
- 8:04Speaker 2: It makes me love this dude even more.
- 8:06Speaker 5: I mean, honestly, like I cried before I played today.
- 8:09Speaker 5: I mean it's been five months to the day since
- 8:11Speaker 5: the last time I'm played, and I've just been really
- 8:14Speaker 5: emotional because I haven't been able to play and I
- 8:16Speaker 5: feel terrible because my team lost in a tournament and
- 8:20Speaker 5: my coach got fired. It just was a lot from
- 8:21Speaker 5: me at that point. So coming out today it was
- 8:24Speaker 5: just like it just felt like I've been waiting so
- 8:26Speaker 5: long for this opportunity and I'm just glad I got
- 8:28Speaker 5: the promogial bus.
- 8:30Speaker 2: So there you go.
- 8:30Speaker 4: D just what, dude, just watch to play basketball, like
- 8:33Speaker 4: that's what he wants, that's all you want to do.
- 8:35Speaker 3: But like the stuff about letting his coach, his coach
- 8:37Speaker 3: got fired and he felt like he's just a great kid.
- 8:42Speaker 3: He really is, and he just has that smile on
- 8:45Speaker 3: his face like he just I just love the energy.
- 8:48Speaker 3: This might sound cheesy, I just love the energy that
- 8:50Speaker 3: dude gives off.
- 8:51Speaker 2: Now, Bone, you was an easy guy to root for
- 8:53Speaker 2: once he left Chapel Hill.
- 8:54Speaker 3: Now TC says, Caleb is doing what we thought he
- 8:57Speaker 3: would do, not surprised, and Bone is iring back at him.
- 9:01Speaker 3: Another texter, because he thought he was gonna have seven
- 9:04Speaker 3: threes in his debut, actually got like I don't think
- 9:06Speaker 3: anybody can say they expected that, and the difficulty of
- 9:09Speaker 3: the threes, and like pull up threes with guys in
- 9:11Speaker 3: his face. This texter says, we tried to tell Duke
- 9:15Speaker 3: fans Caleb greater than Boozer.
- 9:19Speaker 2: It's not.
- 9:19Speaker 4: I think Boozer played like chopb O Liiver the other
- 9:21Speaker 4: night either though here Fellas he didn't play as well
- 9:23Speaker 4: as Wilson did. But we can't judge it all off
- 9:25Speaker 4: of one summer League game either. Here, guy, dude, who
- 9:27Speaker 4: do you think will be better in the pros? Though
- 9:30Speaker 4: I've said, have you come along the inside, I've sett
- 9:33Speaker 4: along the way. I think it'll probably be Wilson ultimately,
- 9:37Speaker 4: but I think it's very close. But again, I don't
- 9:40Speaker 4: think that means that Boozer is gonna be I think
- 9:42Speaker 4: that's more of an indictment on how good Wilson can be.
- 9:44Speaker 3: That oh yeah, yeah, Booster's gonna be a looking double
- 9:47Speaker 3: double and what a rookie class.
- 9:49Speaker 2: It is.
- 9:50Speaker 3: What a year for the Hornet's Bone to have a
- 9:52Speaker 3: late search that apparently ownership really wasn't face anyway. God,
- 9:57Speaker 3: I'm just biding my time bone, just going pas aggressive
- 10:00Speaker 3: until we get to the seven twenty five Jeff Peterson
- 10:03Speaker 3: audio segment and we can react.
- 10:05Speaker 2: It's just I'm so I don't want to be impatient.
- 10:08Speaker 3: I don't want to act like Jeff Peterson might not
- 10:10Speaker 3: have an and company might not have an amazing plan.
- 10:13Speaker 2: We're also God, last year was like feels like it was.
- 10:15Speaker 4: For now, we're also at the mercy of other things
- 10:18Speaker 4: happening around the league. It's out of our control to
- 10:21Speaker 4: use that big trade chip, whether it's the deadline, whenever
- 10:24Speaker 4: it is, because we can't just Max say hey we
- 10:26Speaker 4: want this guy like a free agent. We have to
- 10:28Speaker 4: have someone get disgruntled or a team's plan changes. We're
- 10:32Speaker 4: now at the mercy of Jalen Brown with one of
- 10:34Speaker 4: those guys. But now we're at the mercy of to
- 10:37Speaker 4: use that. We got to hope that something pops free here, right.
- 10:41Speaker 4: Can't just go out there and make it happen. Yeah,
- 10:43Speaker 4: unless you want to star rumors that someone's unhappy or something.
- 10:46Speaker 2: I can try doing that.
- 10:48Speaker 3: Oh, don't worry. Unhappiness will happen. It's at their NBA
- 10:52Speaker 3: stars phone. Some of them are gonna be unhappy, Gooch says,
- 10:57Speaker 3: knowing what we know now with Lamello Miles, should we
- 11:00Speaker 3: have traded them in every first round pick we can
- 11:04Speaker 3: to move up and draft Kleem. I don't think those
- 11:06Speaker 3: would they have still wanted to do that.
- 11:08Speaker 4: I don't think those teams, especially in that top four,
- 11:11Speaker 4: this was not an easy moved down. Teams were not
- 11:16Speaker 4: moving down easily. Those teams in the top four that
- 11:19Speaker 4: got debatsa Peterson, Boozer, and Wilson, I don't think they
- 11:24Speaker 4: were moving. They got they got franchise alterary pieces. I
- 11:27Speaker 4: don't think they were moving all.
- 11:28Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't.
- 11:29Speaker 4: I don't think you'd have to offer more than that
- 11:31Speaker 4: they were not moving for that is a better question.
- 11:33Speaker 2: The guards. The guards after that teams weren't moving forwards.
- 11:36Speaker 3: Is there a better question of could they have gotten
- 11:38Speaker 3: up and drafted one of those young point guards and
- 11:40Speaker 3: not waiting for Christian Anderson because those top four when
- 11:43Speaker 3: they were they weren't.
- 11:44Speaker 2: I don't think they were taking calls.
- 11:45Speaker 3: The guards in that five through ten range that feels
- 11:48Speaker 3: like a different level than Christian Anderson, Right, Could they
- 11:51Speaker 3: have found a way to get in that This dude says,
- 11:54Speaker 3: the right question is if if last year's draft was
- 11:58Speaker 3: so good and the ownership wasn't going to care, if
- 12:02Speaker 3: we played like one of the best teams in the
- 12:04Speaker 3: second half of the season, why weren't Lamello and Miles
- 12:07Speaker 3: traded at the deadline? Why didn't we literally tank like
- 12:11Speaker 3: so many other teams?
- 12:12Speaker 6: Because, remember Mac, that roster had earned the right to
- 12:15Speaker 6: see it through.
- 12:15Speaker 2: That's what Jeff Peterson said, and see.
- 12:17Speaker 6: It through men, not not not next season. That meant
- 12:21Speaker 6: twenty five games.
- 12:22Speaker 2: That was what see you through meant. I think that's
- 12:24Speaker 2: a legitimate question. I want a woman to tell me
- 12:26Speaker 2: she wants to see through to a second date. How
- 12:28Speaker 2: did we get to Fiddy's love life? About?
- 12:30Speaker 4: How did we segond It's always on the tablet.
- 12:34Speaker 6: Comparison see anton doesn't mean marriage and kids. Loo could
- 12:38Speaker 6: just be a second date.
- 12:39Speaker 2: We how did we end up? How do we end up?
- 12:41Speaker 2: In your bodoir?
- 12:42Speaker 5: Here?
- 12:43Speaker 3: Oh, Fitty, I'm telling you that one day you went on,
- 12:45Speaker 3: it lasted and you were on the time clock lasted
- 12:48Speaker 3: hour fifteen.
- 12:49Speaker 2: You got no stoppage time either. He got no extra
- 12:51Speaker 2: time on that date. Girls said meet me here. He
- 12:54Speaker 2: had to travel.
- 12:55Speaker 4: It said, you've got forty you've got forty five, forty
- 12:59Speaker 4: five minutes too.
- 13:00Speaker 3: Yeah, dazzle me, dazzle me, dude, Oh no, you didn't
- 13:04Speaker 3: dazzle me. I'll smell you later. Thatward's rough, Fitty, that
- 13:07Speaker 3: was rough. I'm mad at her?
- 13:08Speaker 7: Now?
- 13:09Speaker 2: What was What was worst?
- 13:10Speaker 4: The fact that Fitty got forty five minutes or Flinder
- 13:13Speaker 4: got three hours at Jillie's.
- 13:15Speaker 3: And still couldn't dazzle Oh seven four or five seven,
- 13:19Speaker 3: oh nine, six ten? Pump in your text. Uh, we're
- 13:22Speaker 3: gonna get People are saying, where's the Hornet summer league talk.
- 13:25Speaker 3: We've done a bunch of it already, we will do
- 13:27Speaker 3: it again next hour. I think the number one headline
- 13:30Speaker 3: bone with the Hornets is the Jeff Peterson stuff. We're
- 13:33Speaker 3: about to get into because I'm very curious. You told
- 13:36Speaker 3: me when when we saw each otherday, you said people
- 13:39Speaker 3: are still big mad about at Jeff Peterson. And I'm
- 13:42Speaker 3: wondering if the comments and if you didn't hear them,
- 13:45Speaker 3: because I realized people got lives unlike us here, people
- 13:48Speaker 3: got lives. So maybe this will be the first you're
- 13:51Speaker 3: gonna hear of his Saturday presser where he finally could
- 13:53Speaker 3: talk about the Lamellow trade. I want to see do
- 13:56Speaker 3: the do the clips make fans understand and more like
- 14:01Speaker 3: accept accepting, or is it just kind of trigger fans again.
- 14:07Speaker 3: I guess we're minutes away from finding that out here
- 14:09Speaker 3: both we shall find out Sounds of the Hornets. Jeff Peterson,
- 14:13Speaker 3: Wamelo Trade Edition That's next Sports Radio ninety two seven WFNZ.
- 14:32Speaker 8: It could not have been.
- 14:33Speaker 9: Easy to part with LaMelo after all the years that
- 14:35Speaker 9: he had been there.
- 14:37Speaker 2: What went into that decision?
- 14:38Speaker 10: You think specifically?
- 14:39Speaker 8: Man?
- 14:40Speaker 7: It was? It is hard. You know, we've built such
- 14:42Speaker 7: a great relationship, Mellow and I think personally and professionally,
- 14:46Speaker 7: and so those phone calls are never easy ones. I
- 14:49Speaker 7: thought that he helped our group create a foundation, a
- 14:52Speaker 7: standard for how we want to operate every day, and
- 14:54Speaker 7: I think that he's really just scratching the surface. I
- 14:56Speaker 7: think there's more for that young man to achieve, and
- 14:58Speaker 7: so I' looking forward to to following the rest of
- 15:01Speaker 7: his career.
- 15:04Speaker 2: All right.
- 15:05Speaker 3: That is Charles League talking about the Lamello ball trade
- 15:10Speaker 3: that was last night during the broadcast of the Hornet
- 15:12Speaker 3: Summer League loss against Boston. Our champions have now twice
- 15:15Speaker 3: been defeated. If you were budgeting fifty dollars for another
- 15:18Speaker 3: Summer League T shirt, you can spend that fifty dollars
- 15:21Speaker 3: on something else, now.
- 15:22Speaker 2: Y'all, maybe like a cowboy hat.
- 15:25Speaker 5: Uh.
- 15:26Speaker 2: Well, I'm in the market.
- 15:27Speaker 4: I'm going to Nashville this week, so I'm trying to
- 15:29Speaker 4: looking up the old cowboy hats now because I'm gonna
- 15:32Speaker 4: be a cowboy this week.
- 15:33Speaker 2: What are you laughing at that? Mac go to Nashville
- 15:36Speaker 2: and just wear your regular hats. I don't understand if
- 15:38Speaker 2: you gotta what in uh when in Rome you dressed
- 15:43Speaker 2: like the Romans.
- 15:44Speaker 3: It's not like you're in Texas, though I could see
- 15:46Speaker 3: Texas if you tried to be cowboy.
- 15:47Speaker 2: Bow are you you're trying to go country? Bone?
- 15:50Speaker 8: Yeah?
- 15:50Speaker 4: Is what you're going for maybe get going to the
- 15:52Speaker 4: Country Music Hall of Fame. I gotta look the part there.
- 15:55Speaker 2: Are you getting? Are you getting boots? The match?
- 15:57Speaker 7: Yep?
- 15:57Speaker 2: I could Target's got twelve dollars cowboy hats. I can't
- 16:01Speaker 2: go to Target to buy the Cowboy.
- 16:04Speaker 4: I don't think Mac believes in Cowboy Bone. I don't
- 16:07Speaker 4: think sometimes I think you just gotta be yourself and
- 16:09Speaker 4: maybe not try to fit in so much. I don't know,
- 16:13Speaker 4: but we Island Mack when you were in the Caribbean.
- 16:15Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't really change myself much. Anyway, Let's get
- 16:19Speaker 3: to have a weekend. Let's get to the more on
- 16:21Speaker 3: that we got all we got a few days talk
- 16:23Speaker 3: about that whole situation and whether Bone should cowboy up
- 16:27Speaker 3: or not.
- 16:28Speaker 2: But let's get into Jeff Peters.
- 16:29Speaker 3: Let's do some sounds here of the Hornets and the
- 16:32Speaker 3: Jeff Peterson edition. Charles Lee tells us how great Lamela
- 16:36Speaker 3: is gonna be. Every Hornets fan is probably yelling, then
- 16:39Speaker 3: why did we trade him? If he's gonna get so
- 16:41Speaker 3: much better? Why did we trade him? So let's try
- 16:44Speaker 3: to see if we get any answers on that. Jeff
- 16:45Speaker 3: Peterson to the twenty six minute presser bone on Saturday,
- 16:49Speaker 3: the day after the Lamello trade finally became official. And
- 16:52Speaker 3: let's just start with something real simple. What's his message
- 16:56Speaker 3: after the trade to the fan base.
- 16:59Speaker 9: Look, I do empathize with the fans, and I understand
- 17:02Speaker 9: just you know where they're coming from. I mean, if
- 17:06Speaker 9: I'm honest, I love LaMelo like he's again, he's a
- 17:09Speaker 9: tremendous human being. Of course he's an enormous talent, and
- 17:12Speaker 9: I have a great relationship. But again, I just I
- 17:16Speaker 9: wish the fans would hope that they understand that I
- 17:20Speaker 9: have the best interest of the Hornet's organization.
- 17:23Speaker 10: I truly do.
- 17:23Speaker 9: And it's not about one year, two years, right, It's
- 17:26Speaker 9: about keep saying it sustained success and just being.
- 17:30Speaker 10: Objective of where we truly are in our life cycle.
- 17:33Speaker 9: And look, I have no doubt that this team that
- 17:36Speaker 9: we roll out next year in the years to common
- 17:38Speaker 9: is going to continue to peede and eventually we'll get there.
- 17:41Speaker 4: First of all, Jeff Peterson is going to say the
- 17:43Speaker 4: right things about trading guy. He's not gonna he's not
- 17:45Speaker 4: gonna give you the exact reason or the negatives about
- 17:49Speaker 4: someone out the door. But I cannot believe that in
- 17:52Speaker 4: twenty six minutes of talking, no one said, Hey, injuries
- 17:56Speaker 4: and durability, how much was that a factor going forward concerned?
- 18:00Speaker 4: Because to me, that's near the top of the list
- 18:03Speaker 4: of did you guys trust that you saw last year
- 18:06Speaker 4: was who he is? Or did you fear that he's
- 18:10Speaker 4: still a ticking time bomb with his injuries?
- 18:12Speaker 2: Yeah, I couldn't believe that was not asked. His salary
- 18:15Speaker 2: was asked about.
- 18:16Speaker 3: I would also I would also love to know the
- 18:20Speaker 3: real answer about because I love and you're gonna hear
- 18:25Speaker 3: a bunch of this here talking about we want to
- 18:28Speaker 3: compete for championships, like that's our goal. Why is LaMelo
- 18:33Speaker 3: not a guy that can help get you to a
- 18:35Speaker 3: champion Because clearly they didn't view him that way. They
- 18:37Speaker 3: did not view him as a star that you build
- 18:39Speaker 3: a championship team, that you pay forty plus million, two
- 18:42Speaker 3: fifty plus million bone on the next deal potentially, like
- 18:45Speaker 3: they just didn't view him that way. And maybe it's
- 18:47Speaker 3: because of the health, maybe it's because of the way
- 18:49Speaker 3: he played, whatever it might be, but they like, if
- 18:53Speaker 3: your goals to win the championship, the guy that everybody,
- 18:57Speaker 3: most people on the outside would say is your best player?
- 18:59Speaker 2: They clearly didn't think he could get them there.
- 19:02Speaker 4: And you know, we've loved to know why it feels
- 19:05Speaker 4: like Wamelo keeps getting traded back over and over again
- 19:07Speaker 4: because they couldn't talk about it for about three weeks.
- 19:09Speaker 4: So we keep going back in time with discussions on this.
- 19:13Speaker 4: But I would also ask him, did last season matter
- 19:17Speaker 4: for the future of Wamelo or was he going to
- 19:21Speaker 4: be gone?
- 19:21Speaker 2: No matter? What?
- 19:22Speaker 4: Is that why you brought in Kobe White? Did the
- 19:25Speaker 4: winds just happen to be a thing and it didn't
- 19:28Speaker 4: ultimately matter because Wamelo was never in your plans. They
- 19:31Speaker 4: did trade him very quickly in the off season. It
- 19:33Speaker 4: wasn't like it lingered into the mid July, not at all.
- 19:37Speaker 2: So it does.
- 19:37Speaker 4: So you ultimate, when did you decide ultimately either you
- 19:40Speaker 4: or whatever it was? When did you decide this is
- 19:43Speaker 4: when you got to give a little bit of that
- 19:45Speaker 4: that truth juice. When did you guys decide that he
- 19:49Speaker 4: was no longer going to be part of the future.
- 19:51Speaker 4: It wasn't just that night in Jude. How long back
- 19:54Speaker 4: does this go?
- 19:54Speaker 6: Yeah?
- 19:55Speaker 3: How far that goes to a question I've been asking
- 19:57Speaker 3: for a couple of weeks. Now did they just never really?
- 20:01Speaker 3: Was he not their type of player from the jump,
- 20:03Speaker 3: you know, right? And they found a way to keep
- 20:06Speaker 3: him healthy for a full season and got his value
- 20:08Speaker 3: up as high as they thought it could get. Here's
- 20:10Speaker 3: a question bone about like the run that they made
- 20:16Speaker 3: last year and still making the trade after that. Listen
- 20:20Speaker 3: to what he says here. I guess how I need
- 20:24Speaker 3: to explain, Fitty, what this is. The goal is not
- 20:27Speaker 3: to is not to make the play in essentially, is
- 20:30Speaker 3: what he said.
- 20:33Speaker 9: The decisions are challenging at times, but you know, when
- 20:36Speaker 9: you look at the totality of the season and everything
- 20:39Speaker 9: of where we where we were, Excuse me, it's important
- 20:42Speaker 9: to take an honest look in the mirror of where
- 20:45Speaker 9: where you guys are as a team. And that's what
- 20:47Speaker 9: I had to do at the end of the season.
- 20:49Speaker 9: And it just feel like again, the goals never to
- 20:52Speaker 9: compete for a playing spot, right. The goal is and
- 20:55Speaker 9: to get to the play in or even the playoffs
- 20:58Speaker 9: for one year. I've said plenty of times since I've
- 21:00Speaker 9: I've been here in Charlotte. The goals to get to
- 21:03Speaker 9: the playoffs and stay there for a long time and
- 21:05Speaker 9: then like I said, eventually contend to compete for championships.
- 21:09Speaker 9: So again, just the timing from the standpoint of again,
- 21:12Speaker 9: I'll go back to getting nas red when you can get.
- 21:14Speaker 10: A player of his caliber.
- 21:16Speaker 9: And of course the draft capital and the flexibility just
- 21:18Speaker 9: felt like it was something that was able to achieve
- 21:21Speaker 9: multiple goals, you know, in one transaction. So again the
- 21:25Speaker 9: timing from that standpoint, it just kind of went back to,
- 21:28Speaker 9: you know, again, we want to we want to make
- 21:30Speaker 9: deep runch into the playoffs.
- 21:31Speaker 10: We don't want to hope that we're making, you know,
- 21:33Speaker 10: making a run in the playing game or anything like that.
- 21:36Speaker 2: All right, let's let's keep going here with Jeff Peterson
- 21:39Speaker 2: bone and then and then we'll react. Fidi.
- 21:41Speaker 3: I want to go to the one at the bottom
- 21:42Speaker 3: there towards the bottom, where he says what made answers
- 21:47Speaker 3: the question of what made him believe that last year's
- 21:50Speaker 3: roster and just building on last year's roster couldn't get
- 21:54Speaker 3: you to championship contention.
- 21:57Speaker 9: It's my job to not just look at half of
- 21:59Speaker 9: last season and or thirds of last season, right, it's
- 22:01Speaker 9: it's looking at I've been here for a little bit
- 22:04Speaker 9: over two years now, so looking at the totality the
- 22:06Speaker 9: picture and also looking at trends along the league, and
- 22:10Speaker 9: again just you know, making them projective decision in terms
- 22:13Speaker 9: of just the timing and being honest with myself of
- 22:15Speaker 9: you know, where we really are as it compared to
- 22:17Speaker 9: the rest of the league. So again, I'll say it
- 22:21Speaker 9: every day, like Lamello was tremendous in our run last year.
- 22:23Speaker 9: He was extremely impactful, and I know he's going to
- 22:25Speaker 9: do great at Minnesota. But again for us, for the
- 22:28Speaker 9: Charlotte Hornets, just felt like it was the right time
- 22:31Speaker 9: to execute the trade.
- 22:33Speaker 10: Of that magnitude.
- 22:34Speaker 9: And like I said, I think we're in a great
- 22:37Speaker 9: position because of our talent on our roster, the death
- 22:40Speaker 9: of our roster and now flexibil.
- 22:42Speaker 2: So bone does it. Should it make us feel like
- 22:46Speaker 2: they have unlike previous front offices here in Charlotte with
- 22:50Speaker 2: the Hornets and Beyond and two other teams, right, should
- 22:54Speaker 2: we feel like, man, they had a plan and they
- 22:58Speaker 2: weren't swayed by half the sea, like that's commendable. Or
- 23:02Speaker 2: should we feel ticked off because we were losing our
- 23:06Speaker 2: minds with excitement over how well they played in the
- 23:08Speaker 2: second half of the season. Wanted to see them add
- 23:11Speaker 2: to it, and they were not phased at all, like
- 23:14Speaker 2: they're multiple times in the presser where I like wonder
- 23:18Speaker 2: if they even wanted to be winning, you know what
- 23:20Speaker 2: I mean? There was like he was.
- 23:22Speaker 3: They were so not phased while we were losing our mind.
- 23:25Speaker 3: How do we feel about.
- 23:25Speaker 4: There was something there in this turnaround that we were
- 23:29Speaker 4: all into that. Apparently Jeff Peterson wasn't like you said,
- 23:33Speaker 4: wasn't phased by it didn't seem to alter whatever the
- 23:37Speaker 4: plane is. I don't know, Mac, if the emergence of
- 23:40Speaker 4: con On that potential star level changed anything. That he
- 23:45Speaker 4: came in right away. Whoa He really kind of took
- 23:48Speaker 4: the league by storm there. I will say this, Mac,
- 23:51Speaker 4: it is an odd looking roster right now. Of I
- 23:55Speaker 4: would say four good players who can be really good
- 23:59Speaker 4: in Coby, Nas, Miller and Cod, and then it is
- 24:03Speaker 4: a plethora a ton of role guys. We have about
- 24:07Speaker 4: every role guy in the league. Don't know if you're
- 24:09Speaker 4: aware of, Mac. We picked up Dorian Finney Smith while
- 24:11Speaker 4: you're on the cruise shap last week. We have so
- 24:13Speaker 4: many role players. The Bridges trades not announce yeh, but
- 24:17Speaker 4: that's gonna bring Royce O'Neil and Grayson Allen. This puts
- 24:20Speaker 4: though one of those very good players, and I think
- 24:24Speaker 4: it's gonna be Brandon Miller. That puts a lot of
- 24:27Speaker 4: pressure on Brandon Miller to probably go up to that
- 24:31Speaker 4: star level.
- 24:31Speaker 10: Right.
- 24:31Speaker 4: They need some Conran need, they need guys to go
- 24:35Speaker 4: up at that good level to great level.
- 24:38Speaker 2: They do.
- 24:38Speaker 3: But again, when I listened to him, I'm not sure
- 24:41Speaker 3: how much they even care about winning this year, you
- 24:43Speaker 3: know what I mean?
- 24:44Speaker 2: This season?
- 24:45Speaker 3: I just it seems like such a And I will
- 24:48Speaker 3: say this, there is something commendable bone about the fact
- 24:51Speaker 3: that they have a plan and they didn't get swayed
- 24:53Speaker 3: by half a season. They didn't act emotionally. They kept
- 24:56Speaker 3: emotions out of it. Right where rius fans were emotional,
- 25:00Speaker 3: we would make emotional decisions. They have a tactful plan.
- 25:03Speaker 3: They're going to see it through. There's something to be
- 25:04Speaker 3: said for that. And I still think it could work
- 25:07Speaker 3: out long term. It's just frustrating because it finally got
- 25:10Speaker 3: fun here in Charlotte and they're like, we're gonna We're
- 25:13Speaker 3: not gonna have quite as much.
- 25:14Speaker 2: Fun moving forward. All right.
- 25:17Speaker 3: Uh, so let's you talk about players bone that are here. Now,
- 25:21Speaker 3: let's let's talk about a little bit of that. Because
- 25:24Speaker 3: I joked before the show Bone Jeff Peterson kept raving
- 25:27Speaker 3: about nas Reed to the point Bone where I think
- 25:31Speaker 3: he might think he's Karl Malone reincarnated at the fore position.
- 25:35Speaker 3: So let's let's listen to part of that as a
- 25:37Speaker 3: player not a person where he admitted Bone. He admitted
- 25:40Speaker 3: that nas Reed has always been a target to him,
- 25:44Speaker 3: even before he got to Charlotte.
- 25:46Speaker 10: I do want to touch on nas Reed.
- 25:48Speaker 2: Uh.
- 25:48Speaker 9: You know, he is someone that I've always admired. He's
- 25:52Speaker 9: been a target for for years. He's a guy you
- 25:55Speaker 9: know that we talk about, you know, acquiring guys that
- 25:57Speaker 9: have a chip on their shoulder, and the guy like
- 26:00Speaker 9: nas you know, he goes undrafted and he works his
- 26:03Speaker 9: way up and eventually.
- 26:04Speaker 10: Wins six man in the year. You know, just his
- 26:07Speaker 10: his ability to sit a persevere.
- 26:09Speaker 9: He's hit some adversity, but he's a young man that
- 26:12Speaker 9: has Uh, he doesn't complain. He could have easily been
- 26:15Speaker 9: you know, pointing the fingers and saying he wasn't getting
- 26:17Speaker 9: an ample opportunity. But nas is a guy who lets
- 26:21Speaker 9: the work speak for itself, so cannot be more thrilled
- 26:23Speaker 9: to to add him to our organization as well.
- 26:26Speaker 3: Nas Is. I mean, listen, we he's been targeting for
- 26:29Speaker 3: a while. And how many in the Hornets fan base
- 26:32Speaker 3: or on this station have mentioned him? You have, I have,
- 26:35Speaker 3: KB has how many Texters mentioned him? That's the type
- 26:39Speaker 3: of stretch for that will stick his nose in there,
- 26:41Speaker 3: play hard as hell for you, team player like, so
- 26:44Speaker 3: I get that, but it all there were almost also
- 26:46Speaker 3: a guy that I don't think. I don't think he's
- 26:48Speaker 3: reached his ceiling at either, because I think he's been,
- 26:51Speaker 3: you know, primarily a bench guy in Minnesota. Now you're
- 26:54Speaker 3: gonna see this guy get the full a lot mid
- 26:57Speaker 3: of minute. So there's another level that he can all
- 27:00Speaker 3: so we'll get to here.
- 27:00Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.
- 27:01Speaker 3: With increased minutes, you would think he would increase numbers
- 27:04Speaker 3: and stuff like that. He's got that playoff experience, although
- 27:07Speaker 3: again I'm not sure we're going to the playoffs in
- 27:10Speaker 3: the improved East, and again I'm not sure they care.
- 27:14Speaker 3: That's another part of this. It's just I just want
- 27:18Speaker 3: to hit the fast forward. Remember what was that movie
- 27:20Speaker 3: with Adam Sandler where he could like fast forward stullick.
- 27:23Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought it wasish last week he.
- 27:26Speaker 4: Said, Hey, this reminds me of ash I'm.
- 27:30Speaker 2: Thinking he said last week.
- 27:34Speaker 4: Mac, Now, I know what's the movie where Adam Sandler
- 27:37Speaker 4: clicks the remote control?
- 27:38Speaker 2: Yeah, it's called Click. Were you saying this about the
- 27:40Speaker 2: same thing about the hornets? Yeah? He was like, the
- 27:42Speaker 2: same thing I'm saying about the horn That's how good
- 27:45Speaker 2: we are. Mac.
- 27:45Speaker 6: You could be on a boat in the middle of
- 27:47Speaker 6: the Caribbean and we're still in.
- 27:48Speaker 3: Some babyable baby. I don't know if I feel good
- 27:50Speaker 3: about this or not.
- 27:52Speaker 2: Great minds think alike.
- 27:54Speaker 3: I'm hoping that's it. But yeah, it's just kind of like,
- 27:58Speaker 3: let's get this thing going. But again, like this, Texter says,
- 28:02Speaker 3: fans are impatient, but we have to remember they just
- 28:06Speaker 3: got here. We can't take our frustrations from past regimes
- 28:10Speaker 3: out on them. It's true, that's a very logical, Texter.
- 28:14Speaker 3: Most of us fans, we don't want to be fully
- 28:16Speaker 3: logical about this because we're emotionally disappointed, you know.
- 28:21Speaker 5: Ye.
- 28:21Speaker 3: All right, let's go to the one about the roster,
- 28:24Speaker 3: he says. Despite the fact that fans what did Charles
- 28:30Speaker 3: Lee call yesterday? During the game, some fans found some
- 28:34Speaker 3: of our moves daunting, is what he said. Despite that,
- 28:39Speaker 3: Jeff Peterson says, Hey, I am excited about this roster
- 28:43Speaker 3: for this season.
- 28:45Speaker 9: Yeah, look, I'm excited about her roster. I think we
- 28:47Speaker 9: have a very competitive group. You know, of course bringing
- 28:50Speaker 9: Kobe back, and you know Brandon's another seasonder spelled Kahn
- 28:54Speaker 9: of course again Nas Mostly I can go down the
- 28:58Speaker 9: line like we have some really good players.
- 29:00Speaker 10: Really good depth. So I know those guys in the lockerroom,
- 29:03Speaker 10: they have a chip on their shoulder.
- 29:04Speaker 9: They want to prove that last year wasn't a fluke,
- 29:07Speaker 9: and they want to continue to compete and elevate our organizations.
- 29:10Speaker 9: So Charles and I talk about it all the time,
- 29:12Speaker 9: just how excited we are to bring this group together
- 29:15Speaker 9: and continue to push one another and get better on
- 29:18Speaker 9: a daily basis.
- 29:19Speaker 4: I think Mac said something a few times within the
- 29:22Speaker 4: last couple of weeks. And I'm not just saying this
- 29:26Speaker 4: because our boat captain is back from a chip, but
- 29:28Speaker 4: I think that there's some accuracy within this. I think
- 29:32Speaker 4: the Hornets roster can still be very competitive and at
- 29:36Speaker 4: time's good because this is not going back to where
- 29:40Speaker 4: the dark ages of the Bobcats. They have a lot
- 29:42Speaker 4: of young talent. They've got some good players, as I
- 29:44Speaker 4: mentioned a Kobe and nas Red. The problem though, lies
- 29:47Speaker 4: in the Even if the Hornets Mac are still good,
- 29:51Speaker 4: that Eastern Conference is rough man. It is rough waters.
- 29:54Speaker 4: To go back to the to the cruise term, it
- 29:56Speaker 4: is rough waters. Even teams like the Bulls are starting
- 29:59Speaker 4: to feel like, oh, we got Caleb Wilson, we're a
- 30:01Speaker 4: little better. There's not many teams in the East. Washington
- 30:04Speaker 4: feels like for now that they're better. Outside of the Nets,
- 30:08Speaker 4: who are never really better. Every team in the East
- 30:12Speaker 4: feels like they're either going to be who they're supposed
- 30:15Speaker 4: to be or they feel better about who they were
- 30:18Speaker 4: a year ago.
- 30:18Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 30:19Speaker 4: Yeah, even Boston may not right now, but it's still Boston.
- 30:22Speaker 4: I'm not going to write them off, like are we
- 30:23Speaker 4: going to be better than them? I wouldn't bet on it.
- 30:26Speaker 2: It's East.
- 30:26Speaker 4: The East is a The East is The East is
- 30:30Speaker 4: a wagon. It's a gauntlet, and it's usually not a gauntlet.
- 30:33Speaker 4: Pacers better, Well, Bron's going to land somewhere in the East,
- 30:37Speaker 4: which will still be a problem. Every there's not It
- 30:40Speaker 4: is a The East is one tough highway right now.
- 30:43Speaker 2: To go on a road triple. It's true.
- 30:45Speaker 3: This text says, I actually think they have their eye
- 30:48Speaker 3: on the prize. They're admitting that that core was only
- 30:51Speaker 3: going to take them so far and they want a championship. Yeah,
- 30:54Speaker 3: it's really admirable. And if they pull it off, this
- 30:58Speaker 3: dude is gonna beat a stunt. He's gonna be a legend.
- 31:02Speaker 3: The owners slopping there, they're gonna be legends. Like if
- 31:05Speaker 3: they see this plan all the way through, when we like,

- 32:44Speaker 6: How about this unc Ashville tennis player Henry Patton, who
- 32:48Speaker 6: was an Englishman won a second doubles championship at Wimbledon.
- 32:52Speaker 6: So a local guy up there from Unca. Going back
- 32:56Speaker 6: across the pond to his home country. We're gonning a
- 32:59Speaker 6: second doubles title.
- 33:00Speaker 2: There we go. Henry.
- 33:01Speaker 3: By the way, this sorry, Phitteas, has nothing with you
- 33:03Speaker 3: you're saying, but this is a text.
- 33:05Speaker 2: That is a is a George. I thought Henry Patton
- 33:08Speaker 2: was a general in the army.
- 33:13Speaker 3: Different different patent Dave from Charlotte, very interesting texts. Fans
- 33:19Speaker 3: don't buy tickets and cheer for plans. They buy tickets
- 33:22Speaker 3: and cheer to see wins. And that's why like that
- 33:26Speaker 3: T shirt. But you know what, So if fans don't
- 33:29Speaker 3: want to spend their money and don't want to go
- 33:30Speaker 3: to games until they feel like, hey, now you're really
- 33:33Speaker 3: going for it, that's your prerogative. But by the same token, Bone,
- 33:36Speaker 3: that's also again, I know I'm being called a homer
- 33:40Speaker 3: and a shill for the Hornets during this segment, but
- 33:43Speaker 3: that is there's something admirable admirable about that too. Michael Jordan,
- 33:48Speaker 3: I always thought Bone didn't want to do a longer
- 33:51Speaker 3: term rebuild because he didn't want to lose ticket revenue.
- 33:55Speaker 3: I always thought that didn't want to lose concession revenue.
- 33:58Speaker 3: When fans don't come to the game because you tear
- 34:01Speaker 3: it down a bit. That's admirable because they know LaMelo
- 34:04Speaker 3: balls selling tickets. You know, there's something to be said
- 34:08Speaker 3: for their willing to sacrifice even revenue in the short term.
- 34:12Speaker 4: Mac. When we come back, it's weekend conclusions.
- 34:15Speaker 2: I'm sure you have a ton from being offs conclusions

- 34:58Speaker 3: Little heads up, Charlotte FE make a major announcement at
- 35:01Speaker 3: the top of the hour at eight o'clock. We will
- 35:03Speaker 3: have Zorn Cornetta on at eight o'clock as the announcement
- 35:08Speaker 3: drops to talk about the big news. It's all we
- 35:11Speaker 3: can say right now. We've got to give you a
- 35:12Speaker 3: little teaser, Rooney. But and it's not that Willie has
- 35:16Speaker 3: been signed as a goalkeeper for the squad after his
- 35:20Speaker 3: performance in Goalie Wars, although it sounds like sounds like
- 35:24Speaker 3: he acquitted himself well in goalie Wars.
- 35:27Speaker 2: But that is not the announcement, can I guess? Is it?
- 35:30Speaker 4: The Gwizzy King will be here July twenty second? That
- 35:33Speaker 4: has already been announced. Man, I think they're doing one.
- 35:35Speaker 3: Dollar hot walks for that game next Wednesday against Atlanta,
- 35:39Speaker 3: the return to Soccer at the Bank.
- 35:41Speaker 4: The Guizzy King, Joey Chestnut will be there. Eight fifteen
- 35:46Speaker 4: dollars hot dogs, five dollars beers. How about that, man,
- 35:49Speaker 4: Joey chests not making the round? That is big time
- 35:51Speaker 4: right there. There go might be the biggest news of
- 35:53Speaker 4: the day.
- 35:55Speaker 3: I feel like the eight o'clock news is bigger, but
- 35:58Speaker 3: I'm not gonna start an argument over it. Joey chesnutt
- 36:01Speaker 3: is an American icon.
- 36:02Speaker 2: Dang it, all right, Mac.
- 36:03Speaker 4: He could eat sixty five seventy five hot dogs? Could
- 36:07Speaker 4: he eat one piece of Willy's brisket?
- 36:11Speaker 2: Oh daddy, Yes, that's what they should do.
- 36:14Speaker 3: He should have him here for a Willy's brisket eating competition.
- 36:19Speaker 2: What if he just said, what if he just took
- 36:21Speaker 2: a bite, said, nah, dog, I'm good, just throws it
- 36:23Speaker 2: in the water.
- 36:24Speaker 3: Oh my god, Oh, poor Willie man, poor Willy.
- 36:28Speaker 2: Al Right, we are you trying to play pile? Let
- 36:30Speaker 2: me play me.
- 36:31Speaker 3: Let me start bone weekend conclusions with a couple of
- 36:34Speaker 3: cruise conclusions. Going on a cruise with kids that are
- 36:39Speaker 3: seventeen and third, well, Aiden's gonna be seventeen this week,
- 36:42Speaker 3: but essentially seventeen and thirteen a lot better than the
- 36:46Speaker 3: one we went on like seven years ago. They don't
- 36:50Speaker 3: even want to be around you. Their cousins were there
- 36:54Speaker 3: who are around their ages. And it works out perfectly
- 36:59Speaker 3: where Aiden and and my nephew Joshua, Caitlin and my
- 37:02Speaker 3: niece Sarah, they want to go off and roam around
- 37:05Speaker 3: the cruise by themselves, Me and missus Mack one kid
- 37:09Speaker 3: free time. My gosh, that works out a lot better
- 37:13Speaker 3: when you don't have to watch them every second of
- 37:15Speaker 3: the day.
- 37:16Speaker 2: Another thing I noticed that's I gotta take Murphy. There
- 37:19Speaker 2: you go. They have a dog cruises? Is that a thing?
- 37:22Speaker 3: I'll finally jump overboard though I'm Another conclusion too, And
- 37:27Speaker 3: if Missus Max's listening, I was not really paying attention
- 37:31Speaker 3: to this. I was not seeking this out with my eyeballs. Bone.
- 37:36Speaker 3: Women's bathing suits nowadays have less coverage than a big
- 37:40Speaker 3: twelve secondary. I mean, I'm telling you I don't know
- 37:43Speaker 3: when we became a visa, like I don't know when
- 37:45Speaker 3: we became like Spain or some of these European nations.
- 37:49Speaker 2: It was a very cheeky trip.
- 37:51Speaker 3: And again, missus Mack, I want you to know, I
- 37:53Speaker 3: was turned off by that.
- 37:55Speaker 2: I didn't think that this should be in a family place.
- 37:57Speaker 3: I can't believe how big of a trend that is
- 37:59Speaker 3: now for women, luckily not for men.
- 38:01Speaker 4: I like how focused on football season you are that
- 38:04Speaker 4: you tied it all together there, they're big twelve days.
- 38:07Speaker 4: You don't give you football now, Johnny, look at this woman,
- 38:09Speaker 4: she's Baylor.
- 38:12Speaker 3: But that is quite a development bone. You got to
- 38:15Speaker 3: get yourself on a cruise.
- 38:16Speaker 2: Maggie had a good time on the cruise.
- 38:18Speaker 4: I suggest that you don't go to Yellowstone National Park
- 38:24Speaker 4: where a man has gone viral because he took a
- 38:27Speaker 4: picture of a bison. The bison that kind of took
- 38:30Speaker 4: his time immediately closed like he was Luke Heikley in
- 38:34Speaker 4: his prime, got this man and threw him ten feet
- 38:39Speaker 4: into the air. You know how they throw MESSI in
- 38:40Speaker 4: the Airmack to celebrate. That's what it looked like. I said,
- 38:43Speaker 4: this guy got the horns. Man, the guy's injured and
- 38:46Speaker 4: hopefully he's okay. Also, the kid, the kid that the
- 38:49Speaker 4: kid that was with them or the person that was
- 38:51Speaker 4: with them was wearing a Dolphins shirt or even the bison.
- 38:53Speaker 2: What kind of jersey? This guy he got air? Dude
- 38:57Speaker 2: that's in step picture you showed me is inane? Yeah,
- 39:01Speaker 2: how terrified would you be as you're up in the
- 39:03Speaker 2: air like that? And it wasn't like they just walked
- 39:05Speaker 2: up and he charged.
- 39:06Speaker 4: He took his time, kind of stratched, and he immediately said, oh,
- 39:10Speaker 4: I see humans, and then he got mad. The guy
- 39:12Speaker 4: took a photo of him, But I guess also got
- 39:16Speaker 4: a question. It's not like a zoo. Would you really
- 39:18Speaker 4: want to be out there where bison are just free
- 39:21Speaker 4: to come get you?
- 39:21Speaker 3: That doesn't sound like fun. Doesn't sound like fun to me.
- 39:23Speaker 3: I'm not going on the Bison cruise anytime soon, Bony.
- 39:26Speaker 3: By the way, Argentina players don't just throw messy in
- 39:29Speaker 3: the air after games. They take the referee and they
- 39:31Speaker 3: throw him in the air too and celebrate as he's start.
- 39:33Speaker 3: He's the twelfth man of Argentina soccer all right. Anyway,
- 39:37Speaker 3: England gonna get them boys, though, Bonie, I know my
- 39:40Speaker 3: predictions suck usually, but I'm going with this one. England
- 39:42Speaker 3: gonna get them boys. Did you see what Tom Dundon
- 39:45Speaker 3: did to the Stanley Cup bone? We know we were
- 39:47Speaker 3: gonna mention it Friday and we did not.
- 39:49Speaker 2: Is this weird? Like I'm not trying to hate man.
- 39:52Speaker 3: The guy brought a dang you know, as owns a
- 39:55Speaker 3: franchise that won a major sports title in state of
- 39:58Speaker 3: North Carolina, something that you know and and something bone
- 40:02Speaker 3: that you know the Canes have done before but nobody
- 40:05Speaker 3: else has done, certainly not here in Charlotte. But he
- 40:08Speaker 3: put his at the top of the cup or all
- 40:10Speaker 3: the names of all the people involved in the in
- 40:13Speaker 3: the organization and the players go the first names are
- 40:16Speaker 3: his name, his wife name, and wife's name and their
- 40:19Speaker 3: kid's name.
- 40:20Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, is that that kind of hokey? Yeah?
- 40:22Speaker 2: That's weird. I mean, imaginef Jerry Jones did that.
- 40:25Speaker 4: Matche If Temper gave out rings for the Panthers winning
- 40:28Speaker 4: the Super Bowl and It'sai, Nicole and David on top or.
- 40:30Speaker 3: It just it feels a little hokey, man again, minor
- 40:34Speaker 3: deal because you win a Championship.
- 40:36Speaker 2: What the hell do what you want? But that one
- 40:38Speaker 2: struck me this week is like, that's odd. Tom Dundan
- 40:41Speaker 2: is a different interesting fella right Mac on Friday when
- 40:46Speaker 2: the show closed. I did not get in too many
- 40:48Speaker 2: scrapper ruse on the tax line last week because I
- 40:51Speaker 2: was trying to get the guys organized at the line
- 40:53Speaker 2: of scrimmage. I was in the MAC roll, so I
- 40:55Speaker 2: didn't have a whole lot of time to fight last
- 40:56Speaker 2: week until the end of the show on Friday, where
- 40:59Speaker 2: our guy Future Redemption. He's a Clemson fan, but he's
- 41:02Speaker 2: a I don't know if I just I don't know
- 41:05Speaker 2: if he's a lonely shut in. I don't know what
- 41:06Speaker 2: kind of wife he's leading there. He said something on
- 41:09Speaker 2: the text line. Then he got he got mad at
- 41:12Speaker 2: me right away. Then he wanted to fight me at
- 41:14Speaker 2: a bank. He wanted to set up a fight at wakovie,
- 41:18Speaker 2: he said, although that's not been around for a very
- 41:19Speaker 2: long time.
- 41:20Speaker 4: Mag or our bank fights a thing like are We're
- 41:24Speaker 4: just gonna go find uh Wells Fargo a fifth third
- 41:27Speaker 4: and just people.

- 41:30Speaker 4: That would be the dorky come here sir, I'm gonna
- 41:32Speaker 4: get in my car and fight you over here in

- 41:39Speaker 4: an actual bank of America.
- 41:40Speaker 3: He he That shows me he didn't want the smoke, though.
- 41:43Speaker 3: He tried to set up the fight at a bank
- 41:45Speaker 3: that has not existed for years. All right, he didn't
- 41:48Speaker 3: want that smoke, Bony, there's no such thing as a wakovia. Yeah,
- 41:51Speaker 3: that's what I'm thinking. What a career move for me.
- 41:53Speaker 3: Let me go fight a man in a bank? Said
- 41:55Speaker 3: he was ready, though. Can I send a shout out
- 41:57Speaker 3: bone you and some and game Cock fans say, I

- 42:31Speaker 4: of weeks ago that I could hang on a bull
- 42:34Speaker 4: for eight seconds. I did walk what that bison did
- 42:36Speaker 4: to that man, And I'm not so sure I want
- 42:38Speaker 4: that smoke anymore. I don't want to be thrown in
- 42:40Speaker 4: the air of ted feet. Oh you've down, you're walking
- 42:41Speaker 4: that one back now, I'm walking, now, I'm back. I
- 42:44Speaker 4: want to be cool with the bison. I don't want
- 42:46Speaker 4: to be riding a bison. What would you want to
- 42:47Speaker 4: do but you I could take my bulldog Murphy.
- 42:50Speaker 3: Run a bull, ride a bull, or eat some of
- 42:53Speaker 3: Willie's brisket, though that that's a tough call, right there,
- 42:57Speaker 3: Get all right, Mac, comeback.
