• 2:03
  Speaker 1: I can't. I can't. It's good take some getting used to.

  Speaker 4: So we will talk about that as well here on
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: the Mac and Bone Show. The Fit Dog in the
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: House also that certainly needs to be pointed out. Very notable.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: Bone man, how you feeling today? But it sounds like
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: you got some rest after the All Star Game.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Puts you to sleep? Yeah, Yeah, feeling good.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Mac.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: There was more scoring excitement in the World Cup Game
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: than the Baseball All Star Game last night.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Not by France though.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but when you think about it, yeah, I mean
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: there was, it was very equal after the first inning.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: There was one run scored in the MLB All.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Star Game last night, an All Star showcase the best
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: hitters in the world, and there was twenty seven strikeouts
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: one run in the last eight innings. Look, man, I'm
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: not trying to go get off my lawn and be
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: it doesn't matter ultimately, but if I want to see
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: hitters strikeout, I'll go watch the regular season games. Baseball's
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: got a major strikeout problem, or exhibition games. Guys can't
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: even hit the baseball.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: Fifteen wrikeouts by the eleven American League pitchers, they toss
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: a shutout, three hit shutout for nothing.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Uh they win.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: The MVP ended up being Bellinger right because he had
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: a two run single in the first ENDG Yes, yes.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: That got him. That's all you had to do to
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: get the MVP.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: I feel like the runner past second base for the
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: NL last time the whole game All Star Game. I
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: feel like the NL the could they have broke the
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: rules and just gave the eleven AL pitchers the MVP. Seriously,
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: just let them all come up and do an interview
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: at the end.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: Or something serious. So you so you hated it bony
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: last night. I will say this, Yeah, it's kind of lame.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: It's one of thoesn't matter ultimately, it is what it is.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: But well, all star events are what they are. I
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: will say this, at least their event is baseball being played.
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah you'd like to, you know, and this is baseball
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: being played. Sometimes they're great pitchers. Sometimes pitching wins.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: A lot.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: The problem with the other sports are they're all star
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: events don't look any bit like the real game. Now,
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: I do think the NBA hit on something bone with
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: the US world. I think you saw a little more competition.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: I also, I will also point this out, and I
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: do every year the NFL mach is it dropping in
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: regular season games? Footballs from the sky? No flag football
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: may not be the way I mean, I don't know.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: I've seen some Panthers defenses that you thought were just
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: trying to grab flags, but they were just bad at tackling.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: But anyway, and I'll say this about uh, the All
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: Star Game with Baseball on Fox. I love the I
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: love the micd Up stuff. I think they do a
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: great job of that. The Peak what's my guy's name,
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: Pete Crow Armstrong, Pa, the interview with him where they
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: start talking about other sports.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: He likes other sports he played like that. I thought
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: that was fun.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: The first inning American League, you know, Cease and Longeliers,
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: the pitcher and catcher are micd up in the middle
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: of it. Stuff like that I think is cool. They
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: had the three pitchers Mike talking pitching together simultaneously. I
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: like stuff like that. I mean, was it enough bone
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: to not have me put the live feeds of Big
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: Brother on the TV with the audio by the eighth inning? No,
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: it was not. Okay, I'm a major Big Brother fan. Sorry,
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: but I don't know. I like stuff like that.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know I do too, And it allows baseball
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: players to showcase their personalities. It almost get out there
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: more than usual. Baseball does a poor job of us
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: getting to know in a lot of ways some of
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: these players. So in that sense, it's cool to hear
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: more about PCA and all that. Yeah, we don't always
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: hear that stuff with baseball players, so that is a
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: cool thing to actually hear them talk more than they
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: normally do.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: The PCA talking World Cup.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: Man, it does say something about a sport where you
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: can just have conversations about World Cup soccer and the
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: Chicago Bears in the middle of you playing the sport.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Yes, like now he does say something about baseball players
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: and their workload. I don't mind.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: When they do it for the All Star Game, and
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: of course Sunday Night Baseball kind of started that trend
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: by micing up players during any during the game with
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: an Apple TV also did it when they had the
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: baseball stuff and they got a little bit stressful because
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: Apple TV on their baseball package started micing up third
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: basement and second basement during the regular season, and that
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: was always a little stressful that these guys are talking
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: in the regular season.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: It doesn't work near as well that I want a
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: game that Matt.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: I watched keyk Hernandez for the Dodgers talking and boot
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: one and they had to like go away from them
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: for a while. Yeah, so mad, I don't it's a
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: little stressful to watch these guys talking, and yes, it
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: doesn't work there, No, it doesn't work. But this I
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: think they don't want to do it. There would they?
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: Why would they can screw a game up like that?
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: That's that's like micing up Fitty during the radio show
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: that he's not supposed to be on right, fit Dog.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: We may do that, man, we may give you a
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: mac and bone.
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: Second feed where it's just Fitty sighing over there and
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: groaning over they're.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Plaining about who didn't bring upakfast?
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: I'm telling you to way these boys share breakfast around here, man,
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: it's heartwarming. We had the breakfast Buddies where Flounder and
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: Fiddy bring each other breakfast and stuff like that. Then
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: yesterday we get back to the production room that we
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: hang in and Shoppy had secured a sausage biscuit for Fitty.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: I mean, it must be nice to who needs a wife, Fiddy?
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: When you've got breakfast bros like that?
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: You know they're tough on crime now though you're not
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: allowed to eat behind the board anymore though, right.
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, can't eat in the studio. Two things, Mac, I
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: would still want a wife. I'm still in the market
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: for a wife. Shropp, he's up to something. Shoppie's never
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: brought in breakfast, never volunteered to bring in.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: Breakfaft, what's he doing? Get ready to ask you to
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: work for him or something? At some point He's.
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: Gonna be on the board for five hours the next
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: three days because he's got to run Wesson Walker.
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: There's something that he wants, and.
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: Which means I've taught him well, because when I do
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: something for someone else, I inspect something back in return.
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: I'm just waiting to see what that is.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: When they want something for Fiddy, they drop a bag
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: of fast food randomly in the studio and say, here,
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: this will work.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: They say, what's what's the saying about getting to a
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: man's heart through his stomach or whatever, and then drive
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: through with with Fitty it's in a fast food drive
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: through a bag of fast food.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: But anyway, maybe I'm just jealous.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: I shouldn't say I don't have a breakfast pro because Boone,
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: if he wins enough money, will just buy us all donuts. Yeah,
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: I shouldn't complain that we don't have a I don't
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: have a breakfast pro around here.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: Today would have been a donut day. But uh France,
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: Max said or of WOA yesterday.
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: Yes, what a clinic by Spain yesterday.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: It was man the way they played with I love soccer, Fitty,
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: I love soccer fifty. I know he'll be bashing the
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: sport before you know it. But the way Spain played
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: with the ball is just gorgeous. I mean the one
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: touch of one time passing and just France was was
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: chasing shadows.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: I mean it was before. It was amazing.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: And then you go defensively to what Spain is defensively
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: shut out this France team.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, you didn't know.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: And Bappe was on the field for three quarters of
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: this game, much less than Belly and Lisa and all
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: the other stars. You look at Spain's defense the whole tournament,
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: They've giving up one goal and that was that was
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: a masterclass. And I do believe they're winning it all.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: I do believe that was the de facto World Cup
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: title game last night. But I've been wrong once or twice,
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: and you hit on it yesterday. France has a Spain problem.
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: This is not the first time this has happened recently
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: with Spain in France. So yeah, I bet on France.
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: I thought France was gonna win it all.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: But as Taylor Twelman was saying yesterday, including himself, think
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: a lot of us have kind of overlooked Spain in
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: the hierarchy of these teams that are at the powers.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: But here they are at the end waiting for their opponent.
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: I fell for all the sizzle and stuff of France
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: because I picked Spain before the tournament and then I
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: and then I just get overwhelmed by all. My god,
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: look how dominant they are. But they weren't. That was dumb.
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: They were never gonna be able to do that to Spain.
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: Spain was gonna change the game. Spain was gonna make
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: it so that France didn't have the ball themselves, had
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: to defend themselves, and they were completely going to change
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: the game around. I was a knucklehead. I should have
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: stuck with my original damn pitt.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: Well, France is so much flashier with Thembope and all
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: the guys you mentioned there and there.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: A highlight, real guy, Spain, they're not always the prettiest
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: to watching this tournament and they're just shutting people down defensively,
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: but yet.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: It worked for him.
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: They are they're not as explosive, but my god, the
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: way they passed the ball and shared a ball and
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: make runs off the ball and all that stuff. How
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: old um all nineteen years old? By the way, he
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: is unbeaten in knockout games club and country against Imbope.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: Not not that it's a one v one but he
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: has never lost five times against Mbope and knockout competitions
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: with Barcelona and Real Madrid and Cup competition's knockout games.
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: So anyway, today today should be a dogfight, Today should.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Be a nasty one.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: These are two teams that it's not always pretty, but
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: they fight and they find a way to win. England
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: against Argentina. England to me is winning this game bones.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: That might make you put your money in Argentina, but
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: I believe Argentina has been flirting with death a bunch
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: in this tournament. They've been bailed out at times by
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: good fortune and referees. I believe England's ain't. I believe
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: England's gonna get this done. They are a bunch of dogs.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: I think the most valuable player of this tournament will
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: come through again, and that's Jude Bellingham. He always seems
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: to make a play, whether it's a goal. He knocked
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: that ballway against Mexico with his foot out of bounds,
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: which was a ridiculous defensive play. There. He'll do something today. Now,
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: there's a long history right with these two. There's I
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: heard John Strong was talking yesterday about hatred between these
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: two countries.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, you have you have long.
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: I mean again, I'm not like Fanny Fitty hates England
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: because of you know, the Revolutionary War two undred and
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: fifty years ago.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: I gotta be honest with you. I can't really be
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: angry about it.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: And he pretends like he was there, like smoke pretends
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: he was a NASCAR resident.
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: I'm not the only one.
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: Mean, really had a very long back and forth about
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: this yesterday. Yes it's okay to still want to see
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: England wail on the national stage.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Guess what, Willie?
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: If you hate England so much, bro, you can't root
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: for Spurs and don't watch it premierly? Oh how about that? Like, seriously,
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: get the bleep out of here. I can't stand England,
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: but I have I buy hundreds of dollars worth of
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: gear for a team that plays in London. Like, seriously,
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: get the bleep out of y'all. Act like y'all were
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: fighting in the war. Man, your lives wrong. You know
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: that that wasn't you.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Listen?
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: Your hairline makes you look like you're hundreds of years old,
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: but you ain't hundreds of years old.
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: I'm working with You's age like I'm a hundred years old,
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: like a US president.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: I will root for England. I've been a Chelsea fan
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: for two weeks and I've earned the right.
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: But the bad news is you can't find ady Chelsea
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: players on the England take a point.
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: Yes, although that Everton keeper Old Pickford. I guess I
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: got a root. I guess I want England to win today.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Hates England. How can you have a team in England?
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Now?
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: I want them? I guess I want them to win today?
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: Am I rooting for them to win the event? It
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: doesn't matter what England is doing. It could be World Cup,
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: it could be basketball, it could be cricket, it could
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: be cheese rolling down a hill.
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: I will never want to see England then first and anything.
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: Then why are you picking a favorite team in the
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: English Premier League douse?
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: I just block out that they play in England. In
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: my mind, they just play overseason Europe.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. But yes.
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: Anyway to Bone's point, Argentina uh and England strife long
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: long ago. Politically, Not sure Bone that affects the game today,
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: although I do wonder if Messi will have his own
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: hand of God goal like Maradonna did against England in
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: eighty six. I believe Messi gets such beneficial tree from
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: the refs. He his hand of God goal will be.
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: He will catch the ball with two hands, throw it
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: in the net, and v Ar will say goal is good.
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: The gold stands.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: Oh well, they will bring in back Deed Blandino on
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: Fox he'll say, you got both feet in.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: That counts not a handball. I didn't see anything. Anyway,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: let's talk.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: About I will not make any hand of God jokes
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: about Fiddy.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: We will.
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: We will move on here, we will, we will move
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: on to the next thing on the Okay, that sounds
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: like a good idea. Sounds like a good idea. So anyway,
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: I'm glad I talked Fitty out of rooting against England.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: It took a minute, took him man, and he's over
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: it for England today.
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: In this match, I will be the biggest Spanish football fan.
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: Okay, on Sunday at three o'clock, while I'm at the.
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: No Everton players on Spain, I just want you to
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: know that, yes, I know, I mean you're lucky you
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: got one on the damn English national Anyway, let's mention
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: real quick with Charlotte f c and we'll talk about
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: this when Willie comes on at nine o'clock today, because
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: it's pretty big news as far as Charlotte Sports goes.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: They are doing a way.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: They have been the only team in the MLS to
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: do PSLs for the mL In the MLS, no other
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: team has done it, and yesterday they announced we are
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: not doing PSLs anymore. And I think this is a
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: great move. They have been very open about, Hey, our
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: attendance has dropped a bit. Now they're still second in
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: the league Bone in attendance average, averaging twenty eight thousand
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: a game, but the first three years they averaged thirty
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: five thousand a game, so there is a drop, There's
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: no doubt about it. So I applaud them for being
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: proactive and doing something. And then not only Bone, will
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: people that want to buy season tickets moving forward not
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: have the deterrent of PSLs. Right, I got to pay
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: for a seat license just to buy these tickets. But
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: also they're going to allow their fifteen thousand current PSL
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: owners to apply the money they spent on PSLs to
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: tickets up to one hundred percent of what they say,
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: and they'll spread it out over the next two years
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: for season tickets, so you will get something for that money.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: So then it'll make the regular season ticket holders much
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: more at Bony, probably to renew. So I think it
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: is a great plan, I really do, and I hope
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: it works out for him.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: I hope they can get a little get a little
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: bumped and they don't have to go up much. I
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: mean they're only by behind Atlanta, but I know they
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: want to get up over that thirty thousand number.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: Again, Tepper's going down his list of what the people want,
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: and maybe Matt Grass will be next on the list.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: Here for on Teppers, Let's not get on to do list.
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: Let's not get too crazy. Now, let's not get too crazy.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: You know, Mac Dad, they're doing some attendance stuff and
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: you said it, I think it was off the air.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: But when you're bringing in Joey Chesna and you're doing
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: dollar hot dog nights, that's not something they're trying to say.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: They did not do those type of things when this
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: thing first started, and now they're doing some of that.
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: They're trying to be creative, they're trying to be proactive,
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: which I respect. I think it's cool. There's no doubt
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: about it. I have to be honest with you, Bone,
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: there's a reason why they were the only team doing
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: PSLs in the MLS. PSLs in the NFL is one thing.
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: PSLs for Major League Soccer a sport where I feel
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: like you should be making it. I felt the same
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: way about the pay package on Apple. This is a
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: sport that has to get itself like eyeballs, right, They've
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: got to get you watching on TV. They've got to
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: get you buying tickets. They've got to have you experienced
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: the league. Not everybody's the NFL, you know. So I
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: think it is a move that I'm glad they're doing.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: Any concern back with Joey Chests not coming in on
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: dollar hot dog night day, he will eat most of
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: the supply. Is he eating or is he just chilling?
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: I think I need some details on that. He's chilling.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: But what does that mean for him? Fifty four hot dogs?
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: I don't know, he's hanging out.
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: You think a night at the game, a night at
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: the ballgame for Joey is fifty dogs?
• 17:49
  Speaker 7: Did you see the vendor hot dogs? Hey get to
• 17:52
  Speaker 7: hot dogs? Hey, Hey, I'll take fifty four please. It's
• 17:58
  Speaker 7: the craziest thing about Joe Chestnut. But is that he
• 18:03
  Speaker 7: eats seventy plus hot dogs and then like apparently goes
• 18:07
  Speaker 7: out drinking to celebrate every time he wins. How the
• 18:10
  Speaker 7: heck does your stomach serve by I'm telling you talk
• 18:13
  Speaker 7: about parasites causing the poopies?
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, how the heck. He's got to be
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: on the toilet the whole next day after that.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: The barsel guys know him at this point, and bick
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: Kat said, he'll the day of, for the weekend of
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: the of Coney Island, He'll go drink twenty beers that night.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. Yeah, he'll goes and celebrate. That's something.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: He puts seventy five to eighty hot dogs in his
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: stomach and then twenty plus beers and.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: Gets He's he's an iron stomach. Might not be human,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: That must be honest. That's an iron stomach.
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: He's the only person in America now that should be
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: allowed to go to Taco Bell or his stomach could
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: probably handle if the parasite hits.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: That would be an ultimate TV viewing.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: Let's watch Joey Chessity Taco Bell for fifteen minutes and
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: see what happens Joey chest Nut eating lettuce right now,
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: and see if he gets the parasite or pay per
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: view special.
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: Maybe, oh, put it on Netflix. Come on Netflix, You've
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: already shown us Mike Tyson's butt. This can't be any
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: worse than that. You showed us.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you showed us worse. Yeah, showed us the home
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: run Derby broadcast the other night. When we come back,
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: we have a preview Day one of the ACC kickoff.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: WAMELO introduced in Minnesota, and so were its cars, and
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: we do have more panther Dowder Sports Radio seven WFNZ.
• 19:52
  Speaker 8: But tomorrow it's Miami, Virginia, Stanford, Florida State, and NC
• 19:56
  Speaker 8: State headlining Day one of ACC media Days. I gotta
• 20:00
  Speaker 8: believe that tomorrow is about a couple of things. Jim
• 20:03
  Speaker 8: Phillips will set the tone in the Commissioner of the ACC,
• 20:06
  Speaker 8: and Jim Phillips will essentially say the league's in great shape.
• 20:09
  Speaker 8: We got a team play for the College Football Championship period.
• 20:12
  Speaker 8: End of sentence, drop the MinC. Now what people are
• 20:16
  Speaker 8: going to want to ask about is the a the
• 20:19
  Speaker 8: fact that the team that played for the national title
• 20:21
  Speaker 8: just took a quarterback away from the team that actually
• 20:24
  Speaker 8: won the ACC Championship whose resume wasn't good enough because
• 20:27
  Speaker 8: of a weird tiebreaker situation to actually get to the playoff.
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: There you go, that's Chris Childers College Sports Radio laying
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: out beautifully Day one today of ACC kickoff today, Thursday Friday,
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: ACC Media Days being held again here in Charlotte. They've
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: got TV coverage Bone. We talked to Western about this
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: yesterday and we'll talk to Taylor Tannebaum about this today.
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: They're both going to be a part of this. They
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: have seven hours of TV coverage on ACC Network each
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: of these next three days, nine am to four pm.
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: And I love it. Man, It's talking season. Let's start
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: talk more and more college football. Let's talk up you know,
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: the ACC figure out who's who this season. But what
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: do you think about that? Bone? Chris Childers predicts the
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: main major story today will be what does Jim Phillips
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: say does he is he asked? What does he say
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: about the Darien Mensa? You know, steal just ripped away
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: from your duke Blue Devils right at the end of
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: the transfer portal by Miami, And I'm curious Mensa will
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: be there himself it's Miami Day today among other teams.
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: NC State will be there as well. But Darien Mensa,
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: I'm sure we'll be asked about this bone this does.
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: Is this going to be a big story today?
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: What do you think? Sorry, who you talking about? What's
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: his name? Who you've got?
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: I got, I've got I've got my guy, Mac Walker Egan.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: Here's the thing to remember about how this all went
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: down and why it may be a story still. It's
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: not just your average quarterback left for a school what
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: it happens to be in the conference. It's sort of
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: the way that Mensa went about it, where he recommitted
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: himself to Duke and right before the end of that
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: transfer portal period wasn't it was closing on what a Monday,
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: and on the Friday afternoon he left. He left Duke
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: in a little bit of a lurch after he already
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: said he's coming back, and then Bark was coming back.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: It was a whole thing. It wasn't just oh, I'm
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: leaving for Miami, I'm gone. Oh that sucks. We lost
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: the team's best player. He left them at a very
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: odd time where they thought he was back. A lot
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: of quarterbacks already committed, they had to scramble and then
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: bar Kate ended up leaving after him. So Duke thought
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: they had Mensa, Nate Sheppard bar Kate back, a team
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: that with that trio on offense. Realistically in this ACC
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: might be second best behind Miami, especially offensively. But as
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: far as Jim Phillips goes Mack, He's gonna downplay this thing,
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: I mentally because of where he went. Because Miami is
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: a national title contender and the ACC is started for those,
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: So I'm gonna guess Jim Phillips is gonna play the.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: He doesn't.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: Really, he's not gonna say a whole lot because it
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: boots off even more. A team that could win a
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: championship in his.
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: Own coffee, yeah he I mean, honestly, if you put
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: him on a polygraph, it might reveal that he is
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: glad that it happened. To your point, might drive Mensa
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: to Miami because if if Miami doesn't have Men's, it
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: feels like an upgrade. And I thought Carson Beck was good,
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: but it feels like it could be an upgrade over him.
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: Then they get bar k two as a package deal.
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: I hate it for Duke because it's just it's just
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: a big dog with all their money coming in at
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: the last minute and just waving six million dollars.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: You know, he was gonna hate how it happened more
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: than they actually happening.
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: That makes any sense because of what you said, because
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: it was right at the end when men'sa had already
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: said I'm coming back the way that went down. I
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: hated it for Duke. He got a reportedly six million dollars.
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: He was going to make four million at Duke, and
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: Miami just swooped, We'll give you six million. This doesn't
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: give me the ick like the whole old miss stealing
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: for Relli from Clemson does. Though, it doesn't give me
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: the total ix like that one does. But you know,
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: I'm sure you and most Duke fans are not going
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: to forget this anytime soon. We'll see what Mensas says
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: about it as well.
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: I agree with he's got the highest nil valuation of
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: all college athletes.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: MENSA does.
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: That's that's at a six million, yeah, six million football players.
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: As far as uh as far as other things today,
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: bone I would expect Jim Phillis to be asked about
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: the tiebreaker because there are some reporters that are making
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: it sound like they're not going to change their tiebreaker
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: last year and I thought it was a no brainer.
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: I thought everybody I thought that. I thought that would
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: be done two days after the season to where Miami
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: wasn't in the title game. The obvious fixes for your
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: tie breaker is highest ranked teams, two teams in the
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: playoff ranking, so you don't have a situation. They came close.
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: A team that was capable you saw of almost winning
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: it all, was very close bone to being left out.
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: It's crazy because of the tiebreaker. So I'm interested to
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: see if you know, if Jim Phillips has asked about
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: that today. I mentioned Miami, I mentioned NC State. The
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: other teams today pretty underwhelming, well, Florida State, Flordas State,
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: Mike Norvelle, how's that Melton Fanny feeling, you know, the
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: questions he's gonna get Virginia and Stanford also today. If
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: you want to know about the local teams, other teams
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: here of local interests. Clemson tomorrow and then Friday's a
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: big you know, State of North Carolina Day, UNC, Duke,
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: and Wake will all be on Friday at the ACC
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: media Day. So bring it on, man, bring it on,
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: let's get this talking season going. And next week, oh
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: my god, next week we get Greg sank he gets
• 25:55

• 26:18

• 26:22
  Speaker 4: it is. We got a text Brom from Louisville be

  Speaker 4: there tomorrow as well. We got a text yesterday, Fiddy.
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: I don't know if you saw this one. They say
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: there's a new character on the Mac and Bone Show.
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: They said Hokey Bone has arrived. That Bone constantly is
• 26:39

• 26:53
  Speaker 3: compelling outside Miami?

• 27:01
  Speaker 3: questions that we have to ask guests and whatnot, how
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: many compelling storylines are there that you think, Oh, that's

• 27:08
  Speaker 3: about can Brett Key keep the things going at Georgia Tech?
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: Or is James Franklin maybe one of the bigger stories
• 27:15

  Speaker 1: gonna do You're leaning into hope. You pushed me to
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: the edge.

  Speaker 4: you know what I mean. Get angry, No, I'm angry. Now,
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: but now you know what I mean into it. I

  Speaker 1: All right? Anyway, let's uh, let's move along, dude to time.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: Who's as Shane Biemer's father, Let's move along here due
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: to time constraints.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Uh, let's see here.
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: Let's let's talk about Lamello yesterday, introduced in Minnesota. Josh Green,
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry you were there as well, but let's face it,
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: no one cared. Let's go and in the Minnesota I
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: noticed bone the Minnesota media members and attendance sweeting out
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: about how short Lamello's answers were. It's like, listen, LaMelo's
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: got a lot of awesome qualities, especially the way you
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: could pass the basketball and get you out of your seat.
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: But yeah, get you get used to it. Listen to
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: this is a little bit of Mello. Yesterday at the presser,
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: being introduced.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: For your game in terms of bringing out even a
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: higher level, I.
• 30:12
  Speaker 9: Feel it could do a lot. I mean, I'm just
• 30:14
  Speaker 9: coming here ready to play. I'm here to learn and
• 30:17
  Speaker 9: just you know, give them all.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: What are your conversations with ant Ben like about teaming
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: up in this backcourt with him?
• 30:23
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean I know, half a minute so, I
• 30:25
  Speaker 9: mean we've been talking. Just everybody excited and we ready
• 30:28
  Speaker 9: to get to work.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: There you go, keep playing Morphvinie. There you go.
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: But if somebody did a they put all of Lamello's
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: answers together from the presser one of these Minnesota media members.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: That was like, man his answer, he couldn't say a lot.
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: It was like a minute and a half bone all
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: the answers together because all the answers are short.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: I used to wake on the pregame show when Farmer
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: would have Lamello as a game.
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: He's always willing to do it. By the way, he
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: wasn't like avoiding the media. He didn't mind doing it.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: He just wouldn't say a lot. He doesn't elaborate. Sam
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: would have a question and he would say, yeah, facts
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: and then now and then Sam, would you have to
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: have a lot of questions.
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: Lined up when he talked, the one about he doesn't
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: elaborate right, like he's a he's very happy when he
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: talks to you.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: He's pleasant.
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: Now he will drop a cuss word here and there,
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: like in a postgame interview out of just you know,
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: sheer excitement.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: Remember the first tuness.
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: The first time we talked to him, I said, whatever
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: the question was, it was something about mellow, how excited
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: are you to be here?
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: Or you know what excites you about playing here? Yeah?
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: Man?
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: And then Mac was like scrambling first question, like, oh no,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: it's fine, it's my turn now. Oh man. So anyway,
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: we'll see. We're gonna talk about this fairness to him.
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: When your dad is LeVar Ball growing up, you probably
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: didn't get a lot of words that didn't get much
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: practice by being Max Jr.
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: I mean, listen, does it I have to be honest
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: with you, like I'm not really I'm not trying to
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: be mean spirited about this. It just kind of is
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: what it is, right. His job is not to talk
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: like I just I think I think fans sometimes get
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: way caught up in uh he you know, oh my,
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: I just guy can't talk or this guy like what
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: if like Bryce saying super all the time, or an
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: athlete hecount how many ums he had there. Their job
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: is not to talk exactly, you know what I mean,
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: Like what if we interviewed you?
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean, Like.
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: Everybody out there gonna do great interviews. So it's just
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: I don't know. And again, you know he means well,
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: but he just doesn't really want to expand on stuff.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: To me.
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: The biggest deal the press or yesterday, and we'll get
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: it to we'll get to it in the seven o'clock hour.
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: Is Tim Connolly, the GM in Minnesota, almost sounding like
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: he's not fully aware of Lamello's injury situation?
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: How was that even remotely possible?
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: Which is not a good look for him. And we've
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: got the audio to play for you, so we'll do.
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: We'll get into that coming up at seven o'clock. I
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: did want to mention bone. As far as the Panthers go,
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: we continue to go through list season. Yes, it was
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: a good list season day because we got Devin Lloyd
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: in the top ten of the ESPN off Ball Linebackers List.
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: Remember they're doing this daily. It's the executives, the coaches
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: and the scouts. In the league that vote on this,
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: and he was in there at number ten. And some
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: of the write up in here says, if he's only
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: NFL player with five interceptions five tackles for loss last season,
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: that hasn't been done by a linebacker since Shaq Leonard
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: in twenty nineteen. And then here's a quote from an
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: NFC executive quote physical run player, love his length in
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: zone to get his hands on the football.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: My god, we need that over the middle.
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: And we played a most zone of anybody in the
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: league as well, And then they say not as effective
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: in man. Again, we played the least man in the league.
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: Ken blitz and rush and is versatile. So there you go, Bony.
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: There's been some detractors that was me texting you something
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: matter which it text. We turned your phone down. No,
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: Mark Spear did a full lenge conversation with you. But yeah,
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: I want to mention that I didn't know if he saw.
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: I know your phone was on. So that's me interrupting.
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: It's me interrupting a guy I'm talking to. What were
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: we talking about? Sorry, I got completely Yeah, I wanted
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: to do that here real, come on, we're talking about
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: the linebackers and This is why some of those detractors,
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: like were was it Ben Solak that was one that
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: was questioning Devin Woyd coming from Jacksonville's defense to the Panther.
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: There's been a couple of those guys. Do we not
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: look at what the linebacker play was before? In the
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: upgrade that Devin Woite is, whether or not he even
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: regressed even a smidge from Jacksonville, whatever, he is such
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: an upgrade for what this team had before. I am
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: all in no matter, I it's fine. It's like the
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: nit needed help desperately there. It's like the nitpicking of Phillips.
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: It's like it's like, oh, he doesn't get sacked under
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: this dude sixt in pressure rate last year. Like it's like,
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: it's a major upgrade both of these guys are you know?
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: And you can nitpick at all you want. Well, he
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: might not be first team All Pro again. Well, I
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: don't know if anybody noticed last year. To be better
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: than Christian rose Boom in coverage, you don't need to
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: be a first team All Pro.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: It's just so.
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: Anyway, I did notice something very interesting. Carson Swessinger, the
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: kid that was was he a rookie last year? Or
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: second year. I believe he was a rookie right from
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: UCLA is correct. Linebacker out of UCLA is third on
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: this list after one season. Listen to this quote from
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: a team from a personnel executive, an NFL team quote,
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: He's Luke Keigley reincarnated, elite speed, athleticism, instincts, and ball skills.
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: Mike comparison. I would say, keep that name at your
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: mouth after one year. One year, but that speaks to
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: how how this dude has thought of man. And you
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: know we will see him early in the season, right Cleveland.
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: So there you go, that's true. Man. We get to see,
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: we get to see maybe Luke will call the game
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: and watch himself reincarnate on the field. I can't help
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: the think bone does that have anything to do with
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: him being a white linebacker?
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: I think I compared to Luke Keigley, a handsome white
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: linebacker like kind of was a Greg Olsen A little
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: bit to be honest in the face there by the way,
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: you guys, I want you guys to know why you're
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: both clowns. My girlfriend Terror has now texted me can
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: we go to Virginia techab Oh, now you're on board batter.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: There you're on board. Here do you go?
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: Fellas Poky Bone is a thing. Now there goes a
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: Saturday now for me, No turning back, baby, no turning back.
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: I can't go see all my teams every week, or
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: I would never be home on a Saturday. Enter Bone,
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: man baby, all right, real quick that it might have
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: sounded weird, Real quick. I do want to follow up
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: this Tasbone about national media doubters. If you're making a list,
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: and I'm sure it'll be a long list again this season,
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: Heat Despike the division title NFL Media Bone had seven
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: people give their projections for what the record of the
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: Anthers will be. Bucky Brooks was at six wins, Nick
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: Shook was at five wins, and the only person out
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: of seven that hadn't them with a winning record was
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: the NFL dot com writer Brooke Sir Sossimo.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: That's the list of backers. Six people out of seven
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: Bone have them with a losing record. This is gonna
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: happen constantly, isn't it? People their predictions the Panther doubting.
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: There was one the other day that I said, oh
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: was it? Warren Sharp? The other day now on his
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: analytical you know, whatever he was doing. He had the
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: Panthers that's taking a step back because they played so
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: many close games a year ago. So yeah, this is
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: gonna be this is gonna be an annoyance here. I
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: think during the year, bring on your danged out, bring
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: your dang doubt on. Man, let it fuel them boys.
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: What the hell, I'll probably still whine about it, but
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: bring on your doubt. It is whinding season when we
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: come back.
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: We had a great shot yesterday with Josh Pate of
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: Yahoo all on three ESPN. I asked him who's under
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: more pressure this year, Davo or Beemer. He had a
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: defiant answer. Sports Radio ninety two seven WFNZ.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: Welcome back back and Bone show here.
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: Yesterday we had the chance to talk to one of
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: the real stars of the college football media world, Josh
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: p of ESPN, of Yahoo, of on three sports, and
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: we started by asking, what's your gut feel on Clemson
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: here for the twenty twenty six season.
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: All right, I have been around situations before. Not to
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: name any names, but I've been around situations before where
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: you're going into a season, the expectations are really low,
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: and even though the coach and the people at the
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: program say all the right things. You can kind of
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: tell they know they're gonna need a lot to.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: Go right this year.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: All right, So I see it up that way to
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: make sure I emphasiz it is not that way at
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: Clemson at all. Now, that doesn't mean anything as to
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: what the result is going to be this year. But
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: if the only reason I'm saying that is because I
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: have had some questions when I do national stuff or
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: talk to national people, and they'll they'll assume that since
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: their expectations of Clemson are lowered this year, that must
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: be the vibe around the program. The vibe around the
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: program is they're about to win a national title. Out
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: feels around the program so defiant. We could call it that,
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: we could call it just hopelessly optimistic. I think that's
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: positive quality, by the way, just generally in humans. I
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: like to see that more than the alternative. I hung
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: out with him for two days over there a couple
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: of months ago, I guess, and he just laid out
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: every facet of the program. You go into Dado's office,
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: there is a binder. I had no idea they made
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: binders this big, but they have a binder that is
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: roughly as tall as my grandmother was, of every resingle
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: facet of the program, and he's just flipping through it,
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: just laying out the program, but laying out specifically, you
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: know what went wrong last year. Obviously, he's talked a
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: lot about bringing Sad Morris in, which was his you know,
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: the switch he flipped the first time it went bad
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: after high expectations in twenty ten. So the hope there
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: is he pulls the nose up again. But I think
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: the hope around there too is they're searching for one
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: of the same things a bunch of teams in the
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: SEC are searching for. You could say this about Bama,
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: you could say it about Oklahoma, LSU. He couldn't run
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: the ball last year. So we keep on looking at
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: these traditional power programs who all suffered from a variation
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: of the same ailment and they couldn't run the ball.
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: It's a miracle Bama made it to the playoffs and
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: won a game. But still they won a game because
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: they faced one of those other teams that couldn't run
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: the ball. So it's a bunch of teams searching, a
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: bunch of programs searching for a way to get back
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: to what they all did once upon a time, and
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: to me, even more so than Zina and talking about
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: quarterback and offensive coordinator, just the overall DNA, the overall ethos,
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: what you're about, that's really what will determine what Clemson's
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: able to do this year.
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: Josh, who do you think is under more pressure this year?
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: Is it Debo at Clemson to find that magic again,
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: or is it Beamer in the same state trying to
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: find consistency with this program that he hasn't really found yet.
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: Well, I think it's easily saying I'd be In fact,
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: I challenge anyone who answers that question Otherwise, how do
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: you justify answering it any other way? Because you've said
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: the word again with Dabo, Well, that means he's done it.
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: That means he's got multiple championships, not just one. He's
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: got multiple championships. And if he were to never win
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: another game, his legacy is security's a Hall of Famer.
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: They'll name stuff after him if they haven't already. Shane
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: and I am. I love Shane Beemer. I'm very close
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: to him. But if we're just talking about the Wikipedia page,
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: if we're talking about the resume you've got. You've had
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: a couple of hopeful blips on the radar screen. They
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: almost made the playoff two years ago, and I don't
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: want to discount that. That's a big deal and it
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: you know, it was all leading up to last year.
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: We got we got Lenora Seller's here, we got Dylan
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: Stewart here. We were coming off a year where we
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: knocked on the door of the playoff. Well, history says,
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: or at least in my mind says, we're supposed to
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: take the next step. We're supposed to be a playoff team.
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: Well they weren't. And then you come into this year
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: and it's just it doesn't feel like there's a ton
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: of juice. Which again that's preseason stuff. As you said,
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: those are shenanigans. That doesn't mean anything. It just means
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: you've got a volume knob there that's turned way down
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: on you right now, and you are tasked with turning
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: it way up this year. And you're doing it playing
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: nine conference games, which if everyone hasn't been beaten over
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: the head to death with that headline already, get ready
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: because that's coming for four days next week. I think
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: I think the Pope will be aware the SEC is
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: playing nine league games by the end of next week.
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: But I oh Man on Equivo Leah Shane Beemer Hey, at.
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: Least the number in the SEC is uniform.
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: The ACC is in this world where they still have
• 43:08
  Speaker 4: some teams that are playing at eight conference games because
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: the math does it math with seventeen teams.
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: So Mike the Pope better than not interrupt Greg Sankie
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: speaking though, Josh, there's lines we don't cross here.
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean those words are red the words of
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: Greg in red in the.
• 43:25
  Speaker 4: We're talking college football with Josh Pate here on the
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: mac en Bone Show. Josh, we've been talking about the possibility.
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: And I don't know if you want to shoot this down,
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: but and maybe it's just because we're a you know,
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: a lot of ACC fans here that don't like the
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: two big dogs in the sport, But we have talked
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: about is there a legit possibility where there could be
• 43:46
  Speaker 4: a national title game without a Big ten team and
• 43:50
  Speaker 4: without an SEC team, and our two hopes for that
• 43:53
  Speaker 4: You can probably figure out our Notre Dame in Miami.
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: Can you see that world? Or is that just is
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: that pie in the sky?
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: Wow? No faith in a Brendan Soresvillis, Texas tech. Wow. Yeah,
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: me neither. Okay, So I'm with you, guys, I'm one
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: with you. Yeah, it could happen. It doesn't matter if
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: if there are two little oasis is OAYSI whatever the
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: plural of oasis is. It doesn't matter if there are
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: only two of them out there in the desert. Those
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: are two really really good ones. Miami and Notre Dame
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: are really really good. So I guess that could happen.
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: My whole, my whole, I guess my whole thing about
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: all that is, I really love how the only barometer
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: that most of the college football public chooses to use
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: about the health of your conference is if you have
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: a team in the national title game. So give you
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: a quick anecdote on that. Last year, It's the day
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: after the semi finals and I'm doing Get Up with
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: Mike Greenberg. This is when Old Myth lost to Miami.
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: It was a very very close game. So they shoot
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: me the headlines that were going to go over in
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: the production meeting, and they said, all right, one of
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: the things we want to talk about is now that
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: it's guaranteed the SEC won't have a team in the
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: National title game. Again, what's wrong with the SEC? And
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: my whole point, I said, hit me with that on air.
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: I'll just give you this on air. Greeney tossed it
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: my way and I said, let's just say Ole Miss
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: won the game last night. Change one play in the game.
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: They win the game, they're in the National title game.
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: How does that change the overall status of the SEC?
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: So this year, here's what would be funny. Let's say
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: the SEC is a mess except for Texas, and Texas
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: goes undefeated through that thing. It's twelve and o Texas
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: and the next best team's eight and four. Texas goes
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: on to win the national title. Are we really saying
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: that was a better year for the SEC? Are we
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: really saying the SEC improved over twenty twenty six just
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: because of their team Texas won the National title? So
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: I don't know. That's a long winded answer, I know,
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: but it's so fus I get on a lot because
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: it is this one thing that people use to judge what,
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: in reality is a pretty complex situation that also you
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: can't quantify, and it leads to massive arguments on the internet,
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: which I'm fully interest.
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: I'm just say but I think we all love now
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: you you have Notre Dame number one right in your
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: preseason rankings.
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: Now, this is very, very very important to classify correctly.
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: There is and as you both know, there is a
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: huge difference between post spring rankings and pre season rankings because,
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: as we all know, a ton happens in May and
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: June to change the course of history.
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: So you would be correct if you.
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: Said that my post spring number one was Notre Dame.
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: It's anybody's guests as to what my pre season number
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: one will be.
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: All right there, he is Josh Pate, Yahoo on three
