Mac & Bone Hour 4: Panthering Up? · Mac & Bone Podcast

• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just consistently being on the field, getting those reps,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: getting to bank consistent time with the quarterback, consistent time
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: with live reps in the game.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: I know the last two years we've always talked about
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: his availability, something that he had to learn how to
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: take care of his body so he can go back-to-back-to-back
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: games and try to put together a full season. I
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: really commend him for learning how to be a pro
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: that way, learning what makes his body tick and getting
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: him to game day. But then, as you see, the
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: longer you have that guy on the field, the more
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: he gets into a comfort level of playing fast and aggressive,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: and everybody feels that on our team.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: Brad Idzik, what a debut for him, his full-time play
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: caller last week. Also, he and his wife, Emily, welcomed
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: a new addition to the family last Friday. So he
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: had a hell of a weekend. But this week, he
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: needs a win. He's raving about Jalen Coker right there.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: We're all doing it. Bone, it is go time. Zach
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: Gelb's going to talk Panthers with us.
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: Oh, dear God.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: It just occurred to me Zach Gelb's going to comment
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: on our defense.
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: Oh, geez. Maybe he's moved on to the next matchup.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: Maybe he'll just focus on how good our offense was
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: and not take any pot shots. But right now, it's
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Panther uptime, or is it? I believe this is the
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: type of game, and I realize people are still shell-shocked
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: by seeing us give up a whole Luke spot to
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: the Bears last week. But come on, y'all. We have
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: beaten the Falcons the last two times in their house.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: We've put up 30 points or more the last three
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: times that we have played the Atlanta Falcons yesterday. Their
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: quarterback situation is beyond dicey. Can we get, I don't
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: know if we get a hundred percent Panther upright, but
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: can we get a Panther upright? That is very close
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: to a hundred percent. Let us know your thoughts. Are
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: we bouncing back and winning this game this week? Am I,
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: am I over judging it?
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: Bone?
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: Do you think I am? Do you think there are
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: too many negative Nancy's out there? Too many people that
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: are still down in the dumps about last week's defensive performance.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: That we can't get like a 95% Panther up rate?
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: I mean, I get it. It was that bad. But eventually,
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: you got to move on.
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: The 24-hour rule, 48-hour rule, like we're way past that now.
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: And we did analyze it. More than normal losses, I think,
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: this week because of... The totality of damage that was
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: done to the defense. But you got to bury, especially
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: in this league, Mag. Not only is it a very
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: week-to-week league, it's also very different from week one to
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: week two sometimes. Week one sometimes doesn't really have an
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: impact on the overall season. So you got to keep
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: that in mind, too, that many examples of week one
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: upsets happen. Do we really think that the Cardinals are
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: going to have a better season than the Chargers?
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: Hell no.
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: You're right.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: It's a weird week one result, right? There's always that
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: that happens. Always.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Somebody said in the first hour, week one lies. And
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: I think that's a great way of putting it. Like,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: we look back at the season so often and say,
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: how the hell.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: Did that happen in week one? Remember that? Remember that one?
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: We overreacted to it.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: So I believe there's a good chance the defense can,
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: can be that type of thing where we look back
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: at at the end of the year and say, Oh
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: my God, how are they that bad? I also think
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: because some of you are saying this dude says, Mac,
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: I'll panther it up, but it's going to take 30
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: points to win. I don't have confidence in this defense
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: after last week, but, but can't you then have confidence
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: that we're going to get 30? Like you didn't say
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: it's going to take 60 to win last week. It
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: would have taken 60 to win. This week, can we
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: say 30 will win it? And I just gave you
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: the stat. Panthers put up 30 the last three times
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: against them. You were giving out Bryce's numbers against Atlanta,
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: especially the last four games. After that career start that
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: he lost in Atlanta, his last two times in Atlanta.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: I don't expect that to change, man. Bryce's performances in Atlanta.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: I expect him to continue. I'm expecting a balanced game.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: I think the Falcons end up being one of... the
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: worst teams in football this year.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: They're a mess.
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: The quarterback draft is going to be deep. I think
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: the angle for that, I think the Falcons are in
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: far worse shape right now than the Panthers are. This
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: is not blowout brigade. This is not lock city. This
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: is not anything crazy, but this is just the score
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: that I'm going to give you. I'm not guaranteeing anything,
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: but I think the Panthers, they've gone over 30-match against
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: Atlanta with bad offenses. If they're actually a good offense
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: now with more weapons, I think they clear 30 against
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: this defense, not a problem. I think the defense bounces
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: back against a weaker offense. I think the Panthers win
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: this game 34-20.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: 34-20.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: All right, so 14 points. I'm not guaranteeing anything. I'm
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: not going that far.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: No, lock it up.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: You're not saying what Finney's about to say in two minutes.
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: I love this matchup, and I also, you know, for
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: as bad as last week was, those guys feel that.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: They know that.
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: They're motivated. And I'm going to say what you're coming
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: off of in the NFL sometimes determines your mindset for
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: the next game. I think they're motivated by the embarrassment
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: of last week's.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: Oh, big time.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: I think they're angry, and I think they come out,
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: and the thing is, we get the luxury of going
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: against Cooper Rush, most likely, and I know he's beaten
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: us in the past, but I just feel like this
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: matchup compared to last week, I think all of a sudden,
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: Princely is going to get in there and realize, oh,
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: I can just take this guy down. I think, you know,
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: I think our pass rush is going to love having
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: a guy that doesn't run away like he's Usain Bolt
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: and isn't hard to contain.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: I think B.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: John Robinson is amazing, one of the best all-around football
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: players out there, right? There's no doubt. And he had 100, like.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: 70-something yards last week. But when you don't have to
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: worry that much about their passing game, you can load
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: up a lot of marig in the box, early downs,
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: and you can really make Cooper Rush beat you. And
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: I like our corners. I'd like to get Will Lee
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: off the field a bit, to be honest with you.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: I think he can be a good player. I'm not
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: sure he was ready for that last week. So maybe
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: he gets Shel Smith-Wade out there. But I just don't
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: think Drake London and Pitts, to the point that D'Orlando
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: Ledbetter was making last night, They caught two combined passes
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: last week. I just, I don't think you have to
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: worry about those guys because they need better quarterback play
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: to get those guys to ball bone.
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: No, I agree.
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: Now the issue here, I think you, I think you
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: and I are taking a measured, but positive approach. We
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: now go to Finney who has an alternate approach, Mac, that,
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: I'm not sure how this will go over in the
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: 9 o'clock hour. Finney, go ahead and use the term
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: you used to describe your pick for this game that
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: you dropped on us in the 7 o'clock hour.
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's not going to be a surprise.
• 7:18
  Speaker 7: Obviously, I'm picking Carolina to win the game, and Much
• 7:22
  Speaker 7: to the chagrin of Smoke.
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: Hey, y'all.
• 7:25
  Speaker 8: How are your mom and dad?
• 7:26
  Speaker 7: I think the Panthers blow out the Falcons on Sunday.
• 7:29
  Speaker 7: I think we get three score galore.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: Damn it.
• 7:33
  Speaker 7: I think Bryce and the passing game, they built off
• 7:35
  Speaker 7: what they did last week. I think they're able to
• 7:38
  Speaker 7: run the ball a little bit more, control the game
• 7:41
  Speaker 7: better than what they were able to do against Chicago.
• 7:44
  Speaker 7: I think this defense is motivated. I think they play
• 7:47
  Speaker 7: pissed off. I think Derrick Brown. We'll have one of
• 7:50
  Speaker 7: the best games of his career. I think Devin Lloyd
• 7:53
  Speaker 7: will bounce back. I think Jalen Phillips will have a
• 7:55
  Speaker 7: much larger impact. I can keep going. If the Panthers
• 7:59
  Speaker 7: are the team we think they are, and I still
• 8:01
  Speaker 7: think they are the team to beat in this division,
• 8:03
  Speaker 7: they show up on Sunday, they win this game, they
• 8:06
  Speaker 7: do so convincingly. Give me Carolina on the road, 31.
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: 14. Will you sign this waiver? There you go. You
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: win three scores galore and not me.
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: 17 points. Because my health and safety is down on
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: the line. I didn't say that, by the way.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: I now know how the audience feels when we sound
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: overconfident because I don't like that Finney went three scores galore.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: We got texters saying Lock City. I now know how
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: y'all feel because I don't like it. I told you
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: this week on a text, I would take three points galore.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: Like I just want to win a football game. Like
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: we have to win this game. It may, it can't
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: be called a must win game because in reality, like
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: must win means you're eliminated from the playoffs mathematically. So
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to call it a must win.
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: Gotta have it. If we don't win this football.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: Game and are 0-2, can you imagine what the vibes
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: are going to be around here? They need to win
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: this football game by any means necessary. And I don't know, Bone,
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: if I'm ready to say the defense shuts them down
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: just yet. I'm very comfortable saying, like Fitty and like you,
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: the offense puts up 30. I don't know if I'm
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: ready to have... the defense give up, what'd you say, Fiddy,
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: 14 just yet? I feel like there might have to
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: be some growth from last week to this week, but Fiddy,
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: how many times have we seen results look totally different
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: for one.
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: Side of the ball?
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: It's a week-to-week league, Mac.
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: It's true. That is true. I don't have the kishkies, though,
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: to go three scores galore after they gave up a
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: million points the week before. Here's the thing.
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: I lean that Fiddy is probably more right than he's wrong,
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: but the fact that he said it, Fiddy basically just said,
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: We'll get the size of my cubes here and.
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: Get used to it.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: The funny thing about it is you said it in
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: the in the seven o'clock hour, no one's blasting Finney.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: No one cares that Finney went three goers, three goers,
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: three scores. I am the voice.
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: Of reason for Panther nation, the voice of reason. You
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: pick the Panthers in every game last year.
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: What do you mean? Voice of reason.
• 10:11
  Speaker 7: There will come a day in a time where I
• 10:13
  Speaker 7: pick Carolina to lose.
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: It might be 2047, but But there will come a day,
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: there will come a time. Mac, I'll say this, though.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Oh, no.
• 10:20
  Speaker 7: If they find themselves having to win this game 34-27,
• 10:23
  Speaker 7: like 35-31, the Avero conversation is not going to get
• 10:29
  Speaker 7: any better.
• 10:30
  Speaker 6: Like, there's not a reasonable.
• 10:32
  Speaker 7: Excuse for that offense to put up any more than
• 10:36
  Speaker 7: 20 points.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: They put up 13 last week against Pittsburgh, if you
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: want to know. And Cooper Rush had the worst quarterback
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: rating in the entire league, 51.9. He threw two interceptions,
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: and he completed four passes to people other than B.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: John Robinson. It's check down Charlie City. Let's see here.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: What else are we getting on the text line? Yeah,
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: no one seems to care.
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: Matter of fact— Phinney says that some guy says, I
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: agree with Phinney. If I said that— Right on, Phinney!
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: If I said that, I'd be a manhunt. I'd be
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: a bonehunt. Casey says, name of my rock band, Three
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: Gores Galore. 704 number says, does nobody realize the Atlanta
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: Falcons defense only gave up 13 points last week?
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: We have mentioned that.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: He says, they're also number one in rush defense. I
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: don't understand why y'all think we are going to go off.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: Because Bryce has ownership on those fools, man, in that building.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's got the deed to that damn place.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: And I agree with Bone. I think the offense is
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: taking a step up. I don't think the offense... I
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: also wonder too, okay, Pittsburgh couldn't run the ball. Do
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: we know Pittsburgh's going to be good at running the
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: ball this year? Aaron Rodgers missed all six deep shots.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: Is Bryce going to do that? I think it's a
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: Pittsburgh problem too. I don't expect their offense to be
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: very good. My prediction on this game, Boney, is Panthers 31,
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: Falcons 23.
• 12:02
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: 31-23.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: And I'm not going to say the defense all of
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: a sudden is ridiculous, even though the Atlanta quarterback situation
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: is ridiculous, but I'm definitely saying 30-burger for this. And
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: that would be four straight against the Falcons if we
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: did it, if we got another 30-burger.
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: All right, Bone. All this stuff. I love the excitement
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: on the text line. A lot of confidence, too.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: Y'all are calling out them damn annoying dirty birds.
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: But.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: You have heard nothing yet in terms of Panther fire.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: We have had to call an audible here like any
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: great coach, Bone. We have had to bench sirloin of beef.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: We lost last week badly.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: It was 35-17, close to halftime probably. So anyway, we
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: have gone to a man that can bring– The fire
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: and desire, as Granny Pat would say. He is diehard
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: Panther fan, Weatherman Mark, with your Panther pep talk.
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: Marky, give us a pep talk, baby. Fire us up.
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: What are we going to do to them dirty birds? Panthers,
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: you're the best around.
• 13:16
  Speaker 10: Nothing's ever going to keep you down. You're definitely going.
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: To win this weekend.
• 13:23
  Speaker 8: You're the best.
• 13:26
  Speaker 10: Around nothing's gonna keep us down we're definitely gonna get
• 13:33
  Speaker 10: it done oh yeah let's go we going falcons hunting
• 13:39
  Speaker 10: we gonna shoot them birds they dirty and we gonna
• 13:43
  Speaker 10: clean up the field with them.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah baby what's your score wait a minute mark what's
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: your score baby.
• 13:52
  Speaker 10: My score is 34 to 10.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: There you go. Hey, Weatherman Mark, I'm going to leave
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: you on this. You're the best around. Damn straight, Weatherman Mark.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: Damn straight, Weatherman Mark. All right, Mark. Great job, baby.
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: Great job.
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: That's one of the most unexpected electric moments I've ever
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: been a part of.
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: He came in with some. He did come in with
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: some fire and desire.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: Singing? I got to be honest.
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: I didn't know, because a lot of times, this is
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: not mocking you, Mark, but a lot of times we
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: hear the kind of slow-paced Mark.
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: That was.
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: Mark hopped up on the good good or something there.
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: What was going on there?
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: I didn't know that he was a multifaceted talent like that.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: So what are you saying? That you expected him to
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: come on without energy?
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: I thought he would be more like spoken word.
• 14:41
  Speaker 10: Right?
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: Like more of a fiery word, not a song.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: People are asking if he's been drinking this morning. Super
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: Bowl Scotty, we are so effed.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: Someone said, what's wrong with Willie P?
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: That wasn't Willie P. Willie P. Brian says, bring back
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: Sir Loin of Beef. He's much more logical. Logical?
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: Loin? I mean, one.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: Guy sings, the other guy screams. I didn't know there
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: was any big film breakdown.
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: People are now worried that they're now more worried than
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: they're fired up over this.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: Mark's got this, baby. And here's the thing, though, Bone.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: If he hammered, I'm changing my pig. What just happened?
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: Ha, ha, ha.
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: Ah, shiver me timbers, Marky. You got some fire, baby.
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: And guess what?
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: When they win on Sunday, you're back next week. And
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: then when they beat Cleveland, you're back after that. So
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: is that how this works? This dude says, please tell
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: me this is a one-off. Why y'all hating on Mark, man?
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: He wrote a song and everything, baby. Might win a
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: damn Grammy for that thing. It's an original song. It's
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: never been done before. Is that what we do, Bo?
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: As long as we're winning and we just keep on
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: riding Mark? And then if he loses, does it go
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: back to Loing?
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: Nope, we've got to keep rotating until we find.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: Someone that sticks. You're done with Loin? This is heartbreaking.
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: For the Panthers, we could use Loin for other pep talks.
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: Oh, my God. I'd love to hear a Willie P
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: pep talk at some point. You think? He'd probably go
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: off on somebody. He'd probably do it pretty good.
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: What do you mean, Dreyer as pep talk or as brisket?
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: Oh, man. Don't you think he could hit us with
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: a full-blown.
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: High-pitched... Get out of here!
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: He's going to score like Swietarski!
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: I think he could.
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: When we come back, Zach Gell of Compass Media joins
• 16:25

  Speaker 5: as well, correct?
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah. How selfish of me. People can say hello
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: to your little friend back out there. My little friend. Hey, now. No,
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: I meant Finney's going to be out there. Okay, I
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: got it. I got it. I'm not being dirty or anything.
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: I'm saying Finney's out there. All right, baby. That's right.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: Finney is there as well. You can talk through wedding
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: plans with him now that he is found. His true soulmate, man.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: It is heartwarming to see. Are you going to watch
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: the game out there?
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: Because if this thing goes wrong for three scores to
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: go over, you might be a target out there.
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: That is the plan. The plan is to watch the
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: game live at Twin Peaks on Sunday. Me and Flounder.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: DVR Dave says we don't get mad at Finney because
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: we know he's just being silly.
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: So there you go. I don't know. I think he's
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: being dead serious.
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: I joke about a lot of things. Not when it
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: comes to my football picks.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: So you guys take me as a serious broadcast journalist.
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: I got you now. Oh, man. All right, let's bring
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: in our next guest, Zach Gelb.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: Joining us, you know he's in the studio NFL Sundays
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: for Compass Media on their NFL broadcast. And he's nice
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: enough to hang with us again on Fridays to talk
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: ball games. And hopefully that doesn't mean much about the Panthers'
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: defense from last week. Zach Gelb is in the house. Gelb,
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: what's going on, brother?
• 19:07
  Speaker 9: My little friends, how we doing? By the way, did
• 19:10
  Speaker 9: Fitty get actually engaged?
• 19:12
  Speaker 8: Is that true?
• 19:12
  Speaker 9: Did I miss that?
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: No, he's been on five dates, though, so we're acting
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: like he's getting married.
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: I mean, we're exaggerating, but at Gelb, it seems like
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: he's downright smitten, man.
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: It really does.
• 19:22
  Speaker 9: So the Panthers, Falcons and 50, no rings, right?
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: Oh my gosh. That hurts.
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: Do you want to get dropped a minute into the interview?
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: Actually, he might.
• 19:34
  Speaker 9: I go out and I continue my Friday.
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: That's what he's aiming for. That's a good boy.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: It's not like, it's not like we're sending ginormous checks
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: to go.
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: Today do you have any do you have any wedding
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: dj uh a wedding dj pass we're looking for someone
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: that can dj the wedding.
• 19:54
  Speaker 9: Know, it's funny. I said this to my girlfriend, the
• 19:56
  Speaker 9: last time we were at a wedding, cause I was
• 19:58
  Speaker 9: told that I was an elite wedding guest that I
• 20:00
  Speaker 9: think I would be a great wedding DJ. I always
• 20:02
  Speaker 9: like a band, but I've started to become really open
• 20:06
  Speaker 9: to just the DJ and you get a sax player.
• 20:09
  Speaker 9: So I don't, I know a friend of mine actually
• 20:11
  Speaker 9: is a DJ, but if you put a good DJ
• 20:13
  Speaker 9: with the sax player, usually gives you a pretty good wedding.
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: That's a hell of a combo.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: Write that down, Finney, write that down when you're wedding planning.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: gelby i mean what the heck kind of crazy drunk
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: game did we have here in carolina last week bryson
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: the offense looked good we can say that but holy
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: crap the defensive performance from a unit gelb that we
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: all thought man they're gonna be better even with with
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: lloyd and with jalen phillips man how how do you
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: explain what the hell happened to the panthers defense You know,
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: in our.
• 20:46
  Speaker 9: Half-decade relationship, we're really in uncharted territory because usually we're
• 20:49
  Speaker 9: not surprised with what happens with the Panthers. We just
• 20:52
  Speaker 9: expect them to lose, and they have. And then last year, okay,
• 20:55
  Speaker 9: they go 8-9 to make the playoffs. But this year,
• 20:57
  Speaker 9: there are somewhat of expectations. And if you would have
• 21:00
  Speaker 9: told me, if we sat here last Friday and you
• 21:02
  Speaker 9: would have said, Zach, the Panthers would have scored 37 points.
• 21:07
  Speaker 9: I'd be like, all right, they're one to know. I
• 21:08
  Speaker 9: would have never thought that they would have lost by
• 21:10
  Speaker 9: 50 plus points, but 20 plus points. But that's what
• 21:14
  Speaker 9: happened when you had the, the Panthers allowed 59 points
• 21:17
  Speaker 9: to the bears. I understand Ben Johnson is always kid.
• 21:20
  Speaker 9: Caleb Williams, really good young quarterback. And they have a
• 21:23
  Speaker 9: good offense with the, you know, with the Chicago bears,
• 21:27
  Speaker 9: but I would have never thought in a million years,
• 21:29
  Speaker 9: like the additions you said, like, in the offseason that
• 21:32
  Speaker 9: the Panthers made that they would have allowed 59 points
• 21:34
  Speaker 9: in the game.
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: Crazy.
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: How much of it do you think was on the– obviously,
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: there's a lot of blame everywhere and reasons why, but
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: how much do you put on the Panthers' defense and
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: also the Bears also being that good?
• 21:48
  Speaker 9: Speaker 0 5th. Yeah.
• 21:49
  Speaker 8: I lean more.
• 21:49
  Speaker 9: So just chalking it up to the bears being an
• 21:51
  Speaker 9: offense and juggernaut, but we'll find out this weekend. Cause
• 21:54
  Speaker 9: I get it. They got Bijan Robinson. They got Drake London.
• 21:57
  Speaker 9: They got Kyle pits. They don't got a quarterback. Even
• 22:00
  Speaker 9: if Michael Penix Jr plays, I'm not a huge fan
• 22:02
  Speaker 9: of his. as a pro quarterback, Cooper rush was just
• 22:06
  Speaker 9: disgusting last week. You know, there's, there's must wins. And
• 22:10
  Speaker 9: then there's like, you can't lose and you gotta have it.
• 22:13
  Speaker 9: I'm not going to say this is a must win
• 22:14
  Speaker 9: for the Carolina Panthers, but this is, you gotta have
• 22:17
  Speaker 9: a game like with all the energy from last year
• 22:20
  Speaker 9: and all the momentum from last year, if they start
• 22:22
  Speaker 9: the year, Oh, and two to a football team that
• 22:25
  Speaker 9: I just think they're, they're better than in the Atlanta Falcons,
• 22:28
  Speaker 9: that would really be disappointing And I believe you guys
• 22:31
  Speaker 9: have the Browns after that. So you win this one,
• 22:33
  Speaker 9: you should be on a path to being two and
• 22:35
  Speaker 9: one and surviving that week one drop.
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: And then it's the Lions defense after that. Obviously their
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: offense is still a problem, but there's a chance here
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: for Bryce and his offense to really get rolling the
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: first month of the season. Yeah.
• 22:48
  Speaker 9: And it's a big year for Bryce because I think
• 22:50
  Speaker 9: we've all been on the same page. Even throughout our
• 22:52
  Speaker 9: five years of disagreements, we've all been on the same
• 22:55
  Speaker 9: page with Bryce that they didn't need to go rush
• 22:57
  Speaker 9: and give him a contract this off season. Like he
• 22:59
  Speaker 9: had a good year last year, but it's only been
• 23:01
  Speaker 9: a year and a half of us talking successfully about
• 23:04
  Speaker 9: Bryce young. So this is a prove it year for
• 23:07
  Speaker 9: Bryce young. And it can't just be one of those
• 23:08
  Speaker 9: years where it's like, they're seven and 10, they're eight
• 23:12
  Speaker 9: and nine. And, and they're just only in it because
• 23:15
  Speaker 9: the division stinks. Like I got to see strides this
• 23:17
  Speaker 9: year and the offense played well in week one. So
• 23:20
  Speaker 9: I can't really ding the offense all that much, but
• 23:23
  Speaker 9: this defense, they're going to get their head out of there.
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: You know what?
• 23:26
  Speaker 9: So they got to start performing better.
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: We got a great text here from AC, Gelby, about
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: you trying to get thrown out of the show early.
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: He compared you to former Braves manager Bobby Cox when
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: he would get thrown out during the lineup cards on purpose.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: Somebody asked, does Gelby have a tee time that he's
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: trying to get to and get kicked off the show?
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we always thought, don't hang up on Gelby, get mad.
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: Now we're like, oh, no, actually, this might help him
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: out a little bit.
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: You know what?
• 23:50
  Speaker 9: I wouldn't be like Bobby Cox if I was on
• 23:52
  Speaker 9: the golf course, because man, that first shot would go right.
• 23:55
  Speaker 9: And I'd be mother bleeping everyone up and down the fairway.
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: Oh my God. Zach Galbraith is with us.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: Compass media talking some football, talking some Panthers as far
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: as Atlanta goat. Like, do you think I like, do
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: you think the Panthers put up another 30 spot this week?
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: The Falcons defense actually played fairly well last week. Although
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: I wonder if that has something to do with Pittsburgh's offense. Like,
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: what do you think Bryce and the offense does for
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: an encore this week?
• 24:24
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I actually, I like the Panther secondary Xavier Watts
• 24:27
  Speaker 9: from Notre Dame and, and Bates coming over all those
• 24:29
  Speaker 9: years ago from the bangles and the bangles defense started
• 24:32
  Speaker 9: to fall apart. They have AJ Terrell too. So they
• 24:35
  Speaker 9: have a good secondary. I got to see more of
• 24:37
  Speaker 9: their pass rush though, because Jalen Walker tours ACL this
• 24:40
  Speaker 9: off season, James Pierce jr. I went 10 and a
• 24:43
  Speaker 9: half sacks last year. He's he's out because of a suspension.
• 24:47
  Speaker 9: So I'm curious how they're going to look in the
• 24:50
  Speaker 9: front seven, but their, their backend. They have a good
• 24:53
  Speaker 9: secondary and that should be a challenge for Bryce. And
• 24:57
  Speaker 9: I'm curious to see how Bryce is going to perform
• 24:59
  Speaker 9: up against that secondary in a divisional game where it
• 25:02
  Speaker 9: always feels like, you know, these NFC South games usually
• 25:05
  Speaker 9: lower scoring and and maybe they have some fireworks in
• 25:09
  Speaker 9: the fourth quarter, but it usually feels like it's a
• 25:10
  Speaker 9: seven-point game or a three-point game, and we could see
• 25:14
  Speaker 9: those clutch moments maybe happen for Bryce once again.
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: Speaking of fireworks, that might describe what we see tomorrow
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: night on the college side in Oxford. What's your take
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: on this game in terms of who do you think
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: is going to win the game, and how wild of
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: a scene do you think we're going to see when
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: Kiffin comes back to Ole Miss?
• 25:32
  Speaker 9: I honestly think it's going to be nothing like we've
• 25:34
  Speaker 9: ever seen before. Because I was talking to Jeff Collins,
• 25:38
  Speaker 9: the former Georgia tech and temple head coach. And he
• 25:40
  Speaker 9: was a part of the egg bowl for all those
• 25:41
  Speaker 9: years as a defensive coordinator, Mississippi state. And he goes,
• 25:45
  Speaker 9: that's stadium at an Oxford. I've gotten the nastiest thing
• 25:49
  Speaker 9: said to me, he goes, it's going to be a
• 25:50
  Speaker 9: hundred times worse for Lane Kiffin than an egg bowl.
• 25:54
  Speaker 9: And you remember those Tennessee fans throwing golf balls and batteries.
• 25:58
  Speaker 9: I like that stuff. I don't advocate for that's ridiculous,
• 26:01
  Speaker 9: but it is going, it's going to, I think it's
• 26:03
  Speaker 9: going to be worse than Chris Beard going back to Lubbock.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 26:07
  Speaker 9: You know, that's one that I, that I do remember,
• 26:09
  Speaker 9: but this is going to be just a wild scene.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: It's weird.
• 26:12
  Speaker 9: I picked LSU to make the playoff before the year started.
• 26:15
  Speaker 9: I think I had them as an 11 seed. I
• 26:17
  Speaker 9: don't buy that their quarterback is actually hurt. I think
• 26:19
  Speaker 9: he's going to play in the game. But for most
• 26:22
  Speaker 9: of the week, I thought that LSU was going to
• 26:24
  Speaker 9: win the game.
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: I don't know why.
• 26:25
  Speaker 9: On Thursday and Friday, I just started to feel like
• 26:28
  Speaker 9: Trinidad Chambliss and Keywon Lacey are going to lead a
• 26:30
  Speaker 9: 10-point comeback. And Ole Miss is going to come back
• 26:34
  Speaker 9: and ruin the party for Lane Kiffin.
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: Gelby, what's your theory on, back to the NFL now,
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: what's your theory on, it wasn't just the Panthers defense,
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: although we clearly were the worst, but you saw good
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: defenses too, Denver and Houston getting lit up. What's your
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: theory on the defensive slow starts? Is there a link?
• 26:55
  Speaker 9: Do you think so? The, the Houston game, I was
• 26:58
  Speaker 9: doing it for compass and I was shocked and I
• 27:01
  Speaker 9: get it. It's Josh Allen, but that defense last year
• 27:04
  Speaker 9: was able to sack him eight times. And the Texans
• 27:07
  Speaker 9: had Davis Warren, Davis mills, excuse me, as their quarterback.
• 27:10
  Speaker 9: And they were able to out, out, you know, a
• 27:13
  Speaker 9: score Josh Allen. I think the game was 23 to 19.
• 27:15
  Speaker 9: And then the Broncos game it wasn't even as if
• 27:18
  Speaker 9: my homes played that well, it was just a Kenneth
• 27:20
  Speaker 9: Walker just running through them like a hot butter tackle,
• 27:24
  Speaker 9: like a, like a knife through hot butter. But I just,
• 27:27
  Speaker 9: I really think that it's maybe I'll chalk it up
• 27:32
  Speaker 9: to the sloppiness because it used to be the first
• 27:35
  Speaker 9: month of the season was bad the last three years
• 27:37
  Speaker 9: with the way that they don't really train in the
• 27:39
  Speaker 9: off season. I feel as if it's not until November
• 27:42
  Speaker 9: 1st where we start to see clean football. So I
• 27:45
  Speaker 9: would like to think the Texans and the Broncos' defenses
• 27:48
  Speaker 9: are going to bounce back because they're that great. But, man,
• 27:50
  Speaker 9: those two defenses were stunning how bad they were in
• 27:53
  Speaker 9: week one.
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: No doubt. No doubt. All right, brother.
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: Well, hey, we appreciate you joining us. Unfortunately for you,
• 27:58

  Speaker 3: But we appreciate you hanging with us, man. Have a
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: good weekend, brother.

  Speaker 9: And congratulations. I'm a man of my word, a Mac
• 28:09
  Speaker 9: to your Penn state, any lions. It wasn't pretty.
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: It was not pretty brother. I was that offense, the
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: running game for Penn state right now.
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: Oh God. But we got one more preseason tune up
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: against Buffalo. Yeah. Penn state season hasn't begun yet. We'll
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: work on that later. That is a sad schedule. Galby. God,
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: that's sad.
• 28:27
  Speaker 9: Can you in Indiana play off?
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: I know. And then you're right. The big 10 schedule
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: is an easy big 10.
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: Can Indiana Penn state maybe play like the first couple
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: of weeks?
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: Cause they both play. Nobody. Unbelievable. Are they playing a
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: high school team this week, I think, Indiana? All right, Gelb,
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: you're the man.
• 28:43
  Speaker 9: I'm an Institute of Technology. All right, Gelb.
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: Later, guys.
• 28:46
  Speaker 9: Be well.
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: All right, there you go.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: Gelb, joining us on the Mac and Bone Show.
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: I think I just told him I love him. You
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: did drop that in there, man. I do that sometimes.
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: Did he say it back to you? No, he didn't.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, shoot.
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: I'm going to love you guys. I tell you that sometimes. Yeah,
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: I know. I say it back to you, though, don't I?
• 29:00
  Speaker 11: No.
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: I say, I love you, man. You say, good job today, Bone.
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: All right, well, I guess that counts.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: I don't communicate my affection well with you guys. Like,
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: Fitty's a very affectionate, I love you, let me give
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: you a hug. I don't do that well. I've got
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: to get better at that. Fitty looked at you the
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: other day, and you said, what are you looking at?
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: Why are you looking at me.
• 29:18
  Speaker 8: With those eyes?
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: Because he rubs his hands with the hand sanitizer and
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: gets right close to me. And he just kind of
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: stares at me. He stares into your soul. It's the
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: way that Mrs. Mack has not stared at me, Bone,
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: I don't know, in a good decade, I want to say.
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: Oh, God.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: But I've got to deal better with that, I feel like.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: I've got to appreciate.
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: That better. What are you going to hug us and
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: kiss us now? What the hell's going on here? Not
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: that well.
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: A man we do want to hug and kiss, though,
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: is listener Picante. Picante's giving out winners, man.
• 29:50
  Speaker 7: Which, by the way, he was not made aware he
• 29:52
  Speaker 7: was coming on the air. So we have.
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: Frazzled Picante.
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: What?
• 29:57
  Speaker 6: Scrambling Picante.
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: How does he not know he's locked in? This is
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: his time, baby.
• 30:01
  Speaker 6: I told him, so are you ready to give us
• 30:02
  Speaker 6: your picks? He said he didn't know he was coming
• 30:03
  Speaker 6: back on.
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: He's on until he does bad. He never does bad
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: until he's on. And I, dare I say, He's got
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: 89 picks. Why can't he just pick three out?
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: He doesn't know his three best or something like that.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: I dare I say, I think he even gets a
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: Mulligan now. I think he's done so good the first
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: three weeks to where if he has a losing week,
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: we still got to stick with him.
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: Let's still get it done here. Picante, what's wrong, man?
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: You okay? Hey, guys.
• 30:26
  Speaker 8: How you doing? Thank you for having me back. No,
• 30:28
  Speaker 8: I didn't see the time. I was like, what?
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: Your time is after Zach Gelb. This is your time, baby.
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: You are locked. 935-ish. You got to be ready.
• 30:37
  Speaker 8: I got it.
• 30:38
  Speaker 9: I got it.
• 30:38
  Speaker 8: I'll be ready.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're a regular now, man. The people are asking
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: for you. They're asking when your picks are. Dude, what
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: a week. My guy, Andy, my friend Andy sent me
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: a screenshot. He did a Picante parlay. He parlayed your
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: three picks and won a bunch.
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: Of money, dude.
• 30:53
  Speaker 8: Oh, dude, it was an amazing, amazing Saturday. I went
• 30:57
  Speaker 8: actually 22 out of 26 on my own pick.
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: Weren't you 22 for 25 the previous week?
• 31:05
  Speaker 8: Yes. How the hell you do this? It's been hot,
• 31:09
  Speaker 8: like super hot.
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: Give us three.
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: I know that you're doing this kind of off the cuff.
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: Give us what you think your three best are this week.
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 31:18
  Speaker 8: So my first pick, it will be a shootout. SMU
• 31:22
  Speaker 8: versus Louisville.
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 31:25
  Speaker 8: That guy Lincoln, man, he's a real deal. So I'll
• 31:28
  Speaker 8: go plus over 59 and a half.
• 31:31
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 31:34
  Speaker 8: The second pick, oh, man, I'm picking the Tar Heels
• 31:39
  Speaker 8: to win the game, but I'm going plus 3.5.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 31:42
  Speaker 8: Tulsa doesn't have any offense, so you just got to
• 31:46
  Speaker 8: give it to the Billy Edwards. he's going to be
• 31:48
  Speaker 8: awesome again.
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: That seems kind of right in the range of what
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: we think the score might be. Yeah, gotcha. I like that.
• 31:54
  Speaker 9: I like that.
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: I like these so far.
• 31:56
  Speaker 8: And my best bet is a very easy one. I
• 32:00
  Speaker 8: don't know why the line is so low. It's Indiana
• 32:04
  Speaker 8: versus Western Kentucky on the over. Western Kentucky came and...
• 32:10
  Speaker 8: Hold on. It's like I'm listening to myself twice.
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: Okay. No.
• 32:16
  Speaker 9: So Western Kentucky.
• 32:17
  Speaker 8: They scored 20 points to Georgia. Indiana have less defense
• 32:21
  Speaker 8: than that. So it's going to go super over, like,
• 32:24
  Speaker 8: in the 80s.
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: What's the number?
• 32:27
  Speaker 8: Plus 59 and a half.
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: All right, so you go over 59 and a half there.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: So you got two overs, and you got the Tar
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: Heels covering, and you are 7-2 in Picante's picks.
• 32:37
  Speaker 8: Oh, dude, this week I'm literally going 3-0 again. This
• 32:40
  Speaker 8: is great.
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: You're feeling it.
• 32:42
  Speaker 8: I cannot believe Tar Heels at plus 3 and a half.
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 32:45
  Speaker 8: They have anything to offer.
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: The way Clemson's playing offense. All right, man.
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: Well, next week we'll talk to you, buddy. Picante, tell
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: everybody where to get you on Instagram, man. You got
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: fans out there now looking for you.
• 32:55

• 33:17
  Speaker 3: DM you, like groupies? Do you got like female fans that,
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: you know, are trying to, I know you're a married man.
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: I know you don't need that.
• 33:24
  Speaker 8: Not yet.
• 33:25
  Speaker 9: Not yet.
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: Oh, it's not to that point.
• 33:28
  Speaker 8: I've got 22 followers.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 33:29
  Speaker 8: But when I hit 50, I think I'm going to
• 33:31
  Speaker 8: go with that.
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: Come on, y'all. Follow the Picante Picks. on Instagram. Thank

  Speaker 3: He says he's a celebrity now, Bone.
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: He's enjoying it. All right, we come back. It's the wrap-up.
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: Getting you set for an insanely busy weekend in sports
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: on Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
• 34:18
  Speaker 11: Obstructed view. I mean, think of all the laborers that
• 34:22
  Speaker 11: went into building it. Obstructed view.
• 34:25
  Speaker 9: I mean, half the.
• 34:26
  Speaker 11: Guys complaining about this, probably sitting around with and obstructed
• 34:31
  Speaker 11: view of their own * * * *.
• 34:32
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 34:32
  Speaker 8: You know what I mean?
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: Where's the button? Did you get it? We're good.
• 34:37
  Speaker 9: We're good.
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: I got it, yeah. I don't even know where the
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: button is. Oh, my gosh.
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: They're getting a little hot under the collar. Bills playing
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: great on the field, Bo. Another big win last night.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: Put up 41 after putting up 36 on Houston. Opened
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: a new stadium with a party, a lot of shout,
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: a lot of singing of the Bills version of shout.
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: But the obstructed view controversy getting them angry there.
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: Um, obstructed. What did he say?
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: Guys have, I obviously we can't repeat the actual phrase.
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: He was, he was, how would you make that radio
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: friendly bone?
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: What he said?
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: Uh, how about you have this obstructed view of my
• 35:13
  Speaker 5: body parts?
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: Redacted.
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: Redacted. That works. Redacted. That works.
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: That was on WGR and Buffalo. I love it, man.
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: I love it.
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: They got crazies up there, too. They got crazies.
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: They've also got a crazy good quarterback, a guy that's approaching,
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: if not already, all-time great status. Also, Mac, I know
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: that the views were.
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: A big deal of obstructed views. That stadium was popping
• 35:39
  Speaker 5: on TV, though. It looked good on TV last night.
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: When they showed the shot of it empty before everybody
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: got there and they were kind of like the overhead
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: camera was going through it, I'm like, that is just state-of-the-art.
• 35:48
  Speaker 7: It was.
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: Now, I will say this.
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: It feels like you could have avoided some of the
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: obstructed views. But what do I know about building a stadium? But, man,
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: it looks cool, though.
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: Are you in for their start-of-the-fourth-quarter tradition that began last
• 36:01
  Speaker 5: night where someone jumps through a table? And it was
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: Ryan Fitzpatrick last night.
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: Oh, yes. So that's what they're doing. They're doing that every. Yes.
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: I like that, man, because that's their thing out in
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: the tailgate lots. I kind of like that.
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: They're doing Marv Levy next home game. I kind of
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: like that. I'm just kidding.
• 36:17
  Speaker 9: No.
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: I'm just kidding. They can't send Marv to a table.
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: He might do it. That's the thing, though, Mac.
• 36:24
  Speaker 5: You can only send so many legends to a table, though, right?
• 36:26
  Speaker 5: Because guys like Jim Kelly's been through a lot. These
• 36:29
  Speaker 5: guys are getting old, man. How many Ryan Fitzpatricks are
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: there that are going to do that? You know who
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: should do it is Jessica Pagula. the star tennis player
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: that is the owner's daughter.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: That'd be cool. I don't know.
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: Or is she too afraid she's going to hurt herself
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: for the upcoming tournament?
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: This might be Ryan Fitzpatrick most weeks. Oh man. All right.
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: Anyway, good luck to wake tonight. Trying to hang in
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: there against Miami. We got a college football Saturday. We
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: got FC and D in DC tomorrow. Go get three
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: points in that one.
• 37:00
  Speaker 8: Fellas.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: We got the Bristol night race. And it's an elimination,
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: isn't it the elimination round, Fit, after this race?
• 37:07
  Speaker 6: No, Mac, we're in the chase era. The playoffs no
• 37:09
  Speaker 6: longer exist.
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, that's right. Yeah, boy, you just confused me
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: on that one. My bad. Tell your mama. I forgot
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: all about it. Tell your mama now. Smoke, my bad. Smokey,
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: that's right. That's right.
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: Boy, I was really confused there for a second. Oh,
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: it doesn't reset. I forgot it doesn't reset. Here I've
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: been thinking all along, it resets, Fetty.
• 37:25
  Speaker 6: It doesn't. There's like five drivers that are basically eliminated already.
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 37:29
  Speaker 6: Including my guy, he's pretty much done. But no one
• 37:32
  Speaker 6: officially does get eliminated.
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: You know, if Mac didn't ask that question, he might
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: have gone a while during this whole thing. Gone a while!
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: You know who's getting it. Oh, I'm feeling good about
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: the five car in this thing, man. All right, anyway.
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: Let's get to... I thought you support Hendrick drivers, Vinny.
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: Don't you?
• 37:50
  Speaker 6: I'm really just a Chase guy.
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: Oh, my God. Not a team player, Bone.
• 37:55
  Speaker 9: You are?
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: Let's see what we have here. I like Chase Elliott.
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: I do.
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: I do. I do.
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: I do. Let's get to some of the text.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: 704-570-9610.
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: Fan guy Dave says he is parlaying Picante's three picks
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: with Fitty's three-score galore prediction.
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: I don't know if.
• 38:13
  Speaker 5: I don't know if tailing Fitty on this one's the
• 38:16
  Speaker 5: smartest idea.
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: Picante's hot. Fitty is, I don't know. Who knows? He
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: might get it. We'll see. Turd Ferguson says, don't ever
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: get married, Fitty.
• 38:27
  Speaker 6: You keep talking and I won't.
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: Turd, what's your story, man? Like, you must have had
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: a bad experience. It doesn't mean all of us are
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: having bad experiences when we get married.
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: You know what I mean? Not at all. What's up
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: with that? We've never heard Mrs.
