- 3:57Speaker 1: ain't it? Oh man? Anyway, Yeah, we are celebrating Charlotte
- 4:01Speaker 1: f C today. What a complete effort that was yesterday
- 4:04Speaker 1: against the team in Pumas, Bone, who I thought, like
- 4:07Speaker 1: looking from the outside, I thought would be the hardest
- 4:10Speaker 1: opponent of the three teams from League Amechis that they
- 4:13Speaker 1: play League's Cup of course, is you know outside the
- 4:16Speaker 1: MLS competition. It's MLS against you know, teams from Mexico
- 4:21Speaker 1: in League Mchis and Pumas last year won the set.
- 4:24Speaker 1: They break their season into two halves and the winners
- 4:27Speaker 1: of each half play for the in the final. They
- 4:30Speaker 1: lost the final, but they did win the second half.
- 4:34Speaker 1: Last year. They started off too and one this year
- 4:36Speaker 1: in third place early, so I kind of thought Bone,
- 4:39Speaker 1: this was gonna be a battle. Charlotte f C made
- 4:41Speaker 1: a bunch of changes, including putting Miller in goal and
- 4:46Speaker 1: rest in Kalina. I think it was like seven changes
- 4:50Speaker 1: from from Saturday's game, and they looked amazing with the ball,
- 4:55Speaker 1: I mean just passing combinations. Bone. They actually finished. Actually
- 4:59Speaker 1: thought it could have been like five goals, but they
- 5:01Speaker 1: end up with three goals yesterday last night. That now,
- 5:06Speaker 1: we had to wait till nine to twenty. Get this
- 5:08Speaker 1: dang thing started because of mother nature. But those boys
- 5:11Speaker 1: were balling last night. Yes, you tweeted out what a
- 5:14Speaker 1: what a team win. Everybody getting involved last night. Your
- 5:17Speaker 1: guy Nathan Richmond makes a debut, who has done a
- 5:20Speaker 1: great job for Crown Legacy. The Clemson product got got
- 5:23Speaker 1: in there. Look at Bone with some with some Crown
- 5:27Speaker 1: Legacy roster. Now, thank you to top Been for that
- 5:29Speaker 1: that knowledge.
- 5:31Speaker 4: And I will say fourth Clemson player to appear for
- 5:35Speaker 4: FC from Clempson, much more than the Panthers.
- 5:37Speaker 1: I'm going on board. We get Bone. You got notes
- 5:39Speaker 1: over there.
- 5:39Speaker 3: Now.
- 5:40Speaker 4: The next game is against Atlas on Friday at seven
- 5:43Speaker 4: point thirty at the Bank. Adwis lost last night to Columbus,
- 5:46Speaker 4: the other MLS team in the in the group stage.
- 5:49Speaker 1: There, look at Bone, but you got notes on that back.
- 5:52Speaker 4: I'm not gonna go too deep into that was I
- 5:55Speaker 4: did think they were playing the Van Line company.
- 5:57Speaker 1: That was Vans. Apparently it's a team. They got handled
- 6:01Speaker 1: last night three to one. Like you said by Columbus,
- 6:05Speaker 1: the first goal was a scrappy one. It was Brent
- 6:09Speaker 1: Bronico U and Brent Bronnico's a Charlotte native and he
- 6:13Speaker 1: loves hitting at cam Newton Superman celebration. We hadn't seen
- 6:16Speaker 1: it all year, baby, that was his first goal. Uh.
- 6:20Speaker 1: And then the second goal was just beautiful. It was
- 6:23Speaker 1: a beautiful move, beautiful passing west he to a local local,
- 6:27Speaker 1: played pretty good on the wing, the young fella, and
- 6:30Speaker 1: then Schneg with a beautiful cross. Goodwin headed that one in.
- 6:34Speaker 1: And then the third goal. I'll be damn fitty if
- 6:37Speaker 1: I just didn't say something about this kid and how
- 6:42Speaker 1: disappointed I am at his lack of progress off the area. Yesterday,
- 6:46Speaker 1: Tiger Smalls beats his man down the right side, gets
- 6:50Speaker 1: in front of him, draws the foul, gets the penalty
- 6:53Speaker 1: in the box, and then takes the penalty kick. It
- 6:56Speaker 1: was a beautiful penalty kick. And is that all I
- 7:00Speaker 1: have to do, Bone is just say something, Hey, I
- 7:02Speaker 1: don't really like what he's doing.
- 7:03Speaker 4: And then and all of a sudden, he's gonna do something.
- 7:05Speaker 4: History says, yes, something will happen. Either way you say it,
- 7:08Speaker 4: something's gonna happen.
- 7:09Speaker 1: The other way you go. Tiger, Tiger went Tiger. That's
- 7:14Speaker 1: by Chris right. Is that good or no? I was
- 7:16Speaker 1: probably not. I got it. I do what it was?
- 7:20Speaker 4: Oh mane of it. That's one of his best jokes ever.
- 7:22Speaker 4: By the way, when that that Tiger went Tiger, damn man.
- 7:25Speaker 4: So that Tiger went Tiger last night. So last night
- 7:27Speaker 4: was a good night. And Maxie showed up. Maxie was
- 7:30Speaker 4: dressed in a fit that I mean. I thought I've
- 7:33Speaker 4: seen cam in at the back in the past. Man,
- 7:35Speaker 4: he had a sweet looking fit on. And now we
- 7:37Speaker 4: just need him to actually put to go from the
- 7:39Speaker 4: fit to the kit. We need him to put the
- 7:41Speaker 4: uniform on and play.
- 7:42Speaker 1: I don't know if it's gonna happen Friday, but probably
- 7:44Speaker 1: at least next Tuesday. But a good start for Charlotte
- 7:47Speaker 1: f C and gold differential could play a role. So
- 7:49Speaker 1: getting that three you know, goal win bone could be big.
- 7:53Speaker 1: Only four MLS teams out of the eighteen playing will
- 7:56Speaker 1: advance to the quarterfinals, so gold differential could come in.
- 7:59Speaker 1: So anyway, good night at the Bank Braves win last night.
- 8:04Speaker 1: But I know you want to get some six am baseball.
- 8:06Speaker 1: We did it.
- 8:07Speaker 4: Mentioned the biggest soccer news of the day, Today's August fifth. Right,
- 8:12Speaker 4: he's back. The greatest coach in sports ted Lasso is back.
- 8:16Speaker 4: Oh that's right, that's right, that's right.
- 8:18Speaker 1: I Forguly.
- 8:19Speaker 4: They bet on a Friday, but here on a Wednesday,
- 8:21Speaker 4: Ted Lasso, August fifth is back.
- 8:23Speaker 1: I keep forgetting about that. I keep forgetting that. It's here, man,
- 8:27Speaker 1: the fourth season is here. Are you are?
- 8:30Speaker 5: You?
- 8:31Speaker 1: Were you just trying to get me off baseball talk?
- 8:33Speaker 1: I was gonna get the Yankee update today, Boe No
- 8:35Speaker 1: New York yank Yankropolitans won two to nothing. Baby Fitty
- 8:40Speaker 1: and I talk baseball at the fifty seven mark of
- 8:43Speaker 1: the five o'clock hour. And if you want any baseball chatter,
- 8:47Speaker 1: just DM me and please don't include Mac and any
- 8:50Speaker 1: baseball chatter please. I had had a really special moment
- 8:54Speaker 1: last night, but I don't want to mention it. I
- 8:55Speaker 1: had a whole Yankees update going man shut out win
- 8:58Speaker 1: last night against the Cardinals.
- 9:00Speaker 4: The rookie homeward in his first at battle last night,
- 9:02Speaker 4: which is a pretty cool thing.
- 9:03Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, his brother Homeward in his minor league debut
- 9:07Speaker 1: right before that. But if I just become a Yankee
- 9:09Speaker 1: fan to make up yesterday's incident tooay, I.
- 9:11Speaker 4: Want I don't want anything to do this conversation. Fitty's
- 9:14Speaker 4: Mets won, right there, man, I'm fortunate George Lombar.
- 9:18Speaker 1: There you go, baby, there you go. It's their top prospect.
- 9:20Speaker 1: They called them. Fitty's Mets won over the Indians. Guardians
- 9:24Speaker 1: did that too, and because the Orioles won, they're game
- 9:28Speaker 1: and a half out of the wild Cat. Good work,
- 9:30Speaker 1: good work, baby. But baseball sucks though, man, I'll be
- 9:34Speaker 1: pissed off in a day. Don't worry. All right, let's
- 9:37Speaker 1: move to football, shall we. I wasn't expecting to read
- 9:40Speaker 1: this yesterday afternoon. This is football, Thank you, p man.
- 9:45Speaker 1: Lebrian Ray retiring from the Carolina Panthers. He's twenty eight
- 9:49Speaker 1: years old. We really don't have bone any details yet
- 9:52Speaker 1: on kind of what you know, what was going on? There?
- 9:55Speaker 1: Is there a health situation he's dealing with. I hope not.
- 9:58Speaker 1: Yesterday wasn't. At practice, Canalis was asked about him and
- 10:03Speaker 1: Derek Brown. Derek Brown is just kind of general soreness
- 10:06Speaker 1: or whatever, and they just decide, hey, just sit him out,
- 10:08Speaker 1: no need to force it. And he said, Lebrian Ray
- 10:11Speaker 1: was a personal day, you know, had something personal going on.
- 10:14Speaker 1: And then a couple of hours later we find out
- 10:16Speaker 1: he's retiring. They put him on the reserve retired list yesterday.
- 10:21Speaker 1: And you know, I'm not on here acting like Lebrion
- 10:25Speaker 1: ray Bone is a pro bowler or something, but this
- 10:28Speaker 1: is a spot that three four defensive end that outside
- 10:32Speaker 1: of Derek Brown and Bobby Brown, we're looking for help.
- 10:36Speaker 1: And he was the third guy. He was the third
- 10:39Speaker 1: three four d N on this team because of course
- 10:42Speaker 1: Hunter and Cam Jackson are nose tackles. I mean, I
- 10:45Speaker 1: would think you could slide Hunter over there, you know,
- 10:48Speaker 1: in the base to the three four d N. But
- 10:50Speaker 1: Lebrian Ray's a guy thirteen games last year, averaged twelve snaps,
- 10:54Speaker 1: So again it's just a role player. But we lost
- 10:57Speaker 1: a Shawn Robinson in the offseason at this spot. Turk
- 11:00Speaker 1: Wharton is still not back. We don't know when he's
- 11:03Speaker 1: coming back at this position, so it's kind of a
- 11:06Speaker 1: light position. Bone and Lebrian Ray retire, so I guess
- 11:10Speaker 1: we'll get some more news here for the next couple days,
- 11:12Speaker 1: like what's going on with.
- 11:13Speaker 4: Yeah, hopefully everything's okay with him. Well, it's not a
- 11:16Speaker 4: move that is, you know, cause for concern, but it
- 11:21Speaker 4: is notable that you're talking about that spot. There not
- 11:24Speaker 4: a lot of guys there, and he's played a lot
- 11:25Speaker 4: of football, kind of unsung football, not a guy we
- 11:29Speaker 4: really mentioned a lot, but he's in the last couple
- 11:31Speaker 4: of years with a lot of injuries. He's been a
- 11:33Speaker 4: guy that has been active more than most guys on
- 11:36Speaker 4: this defense. So it is definitely a loss depth wise.
- 11:40Speaker 4: That may not concern us in the moment, but you
- 11:43Speaker 4: take any bodies away from that spot right now of
- 11:45Speaker 4: guys that have played, and it is a little bit alarming.
- 11:49Speaker 4: I'm more concerned that. I hope he's okay. That is
- 11:52Speaker 4: an abrupt retirement. Yeah, he's only twenty eight.
- 11:56Speaker 1: Yeah, so it does make you, Man, I hope, right,
- 11:57Speaker 1: I hope it's not a big health still or SOMETHINGAMA
- 12:00Speaker 1: guy Bill Brian Ray. Yeah, Yeah, he is man one
- 12:03Speaker 1: of many in the NFL. He's played forty six games.
- 12:05Speaker 1: People might not realize he's been in forty six games
- 12:08Speaker 1: for the Panthers. Big opportunity now for Aaron Hall, the
- 12:11Speaker 1: rookie out of Duke He's he's kind of in that
- 12:13Speaker 1: mix Jared Hare Harrison hunt for snaps. You need snap
- 12:17Speaker 1: eaters at that spot. That's kind of what he was,
- 12:19Speaker 1: was a snap eater.
- 12:20Speaker 4: We've talked about We've talked about Aaron Hall and maybe
- 12:23Speaker 4: being a practice squad guy or whatever. But hey, much
- 12:26Speaker 4: like Cam Jackson is doing opportunities there, maybe Aaron Hall
- 12:30Speaker 4: can be a Bill O'Brian ray of this particular group.
- 12:34Speaker 4: It's a maybe guy. We don't talk about a lot,
- 12:36Speaker 4: but contributes. There you go, baby, there's a storyline market
- 12:39Speaker 4: down Bone. As we look for storylines when thirty eight
- 12:41Speaker 4: Panthers sit out tomorrow night, there's one for you right there.
- 12:44Speaker 1: Aaron Hall's big shot tomorrow. No matter the sport, no
- 12:46Speaker 1: matter where we go, it's always the duke guy. It
- 12:48Speaker 1: always comes back to duke guys. He does saving the
- 12:51Speaker 1: day as always. I've always thought that, always thought that
- 12:54Speaker 1: we need to mention what happened in Atlanta. Jyalen Walker
- 13:00Speaker 1: goes down with a knee injury, and I don't know
- 13:03Speaker 1: if they have confirmed it officially Bone, but there are
- 13:06Speaker 1: reports that it is looks to be a torn ACL.
- 13:10Speaker 1: I don't take any joy in this man. He seems
- 13:12Speaker 1: like a great kid. Obviously, you and I loved them
- 13:15Speaker 1: around draft time. Saulisbury native Dad's a coach. Josh Kendall's
- 13:20Speaker 1: officially diagnosed ACL. Okay, so it's yeah, so it's it's official,
- 13:26Speaker 1: but but it does just go to Showbone that again,
- 13:30Speaker 1: I said this yesterday. We're I think we're all starting
- 13:34Speaker 1: to remember other teams are going to have injuries too,
- 13:37Speaker 1: Other teams are going to be severely hurt by Like
- 13:40Speaker 1: it really felt last week Bone like we might be
- 13:43Speaker 1: the only team that might have players that are severely injured.
- 13:47Speaker 1: Brian Bersey and New Orleans out for the season now,
- 13:50Speaker 1: Jalen Walker out for the season. And this one really
- 13:53Speaker 1: hurts them because you don't know about James Pierce. Everybody
- 13:57Speaker 1: kind of expects some sort of NFL suspension for his
- 13:59Speaker 1: domestic vibeolence incident. They lost kay Nellis off that defense
- 14:04Speaker 1: in the off season, and that was one of the
- 14:06Speaker 1: things they did. They actually got some pass rush going
- 14:08Speaker 1: last year for the first time in forever I.
- 14:10Speaker 4: Have already had. I was from the Atlanta media and
- 14:13Speaker 4: friends that I follow they they were already concerned about
- 14:17Speaker 4: the depth behind Jalen Walker, and of course there's concerns
- 14:21Speaker 4: about that you're talking about with peers. So now the
- 14:24Speaker 4: guys that they were worried about are gonna have to
- 14:27Speaker 4: step up in a major way. Well, Jalen Walker is
- 14:30Speaker 4: currently an enemy. He's wearing Falcons gear, but he's a
- 14:32Speaker 4: local kid first and that matters deeply. So that I mean,
- 14:36Speaker 4: I that sucks, and it sucks for Brazi. It sucks
- 14:40Speaker 4: for him. I don't take any glee ever, I just
- 14:45Speaker 4: because think about how we feel about scorting.
- 14:47Speaker 1: And now it just it.
- 14:49Speaker 3: Man.
- 14:49Speaker 4: You hate for these young players and these guys like
- 14:51Speaker 4: this to have to go through this. So heart goes
- 14:54Speaker 4: out to the to Jalen Walker and all he's dealing
- 14:57Speaker 4: with right now. That that sucks for him.
- 14:58Speaker 1: I hate. I hate when guys have their seasons taken away.
- 15:01Speaker 1: It sucks, man, because you're in the training camp practices.
- 15:05Speaker 1: I mean, it's bad enough it happens in a preseason game.
- 15:07Speaker 1: Remember Cam get hurt in that preseason game against New England,
- 15:10Speaker 1: but like a training camp practice, it really does suck, man,
- 15:14Speaker 1: So I feel for him personally. But again I think
- 15:17Speaker 1: it does remind us, man, this is football. Seasons are
- 15:21Speaker 1: a battle of attrition and we don't need to sit
- 15:24Speaker 1: here and cry bone over injuries. So I was doing
- 15:28Speaker 1: radio with you, Good morning, Fitty, how you doing fit?
- 15:33Speaker 1: Good morning?
- 15:34Speaker 4: Good I'm gonna mention what the Texter brescles just brought
- 15:37Speaker 4: up there, but I guess we have to now, Mac.
- 15:39Speaker 4: Did you all hear Wes and Walker talking about Fiddy
- 15:43Speaker 4: and all his crying yesterday? Why did you're crying? You
- 15:46Speaker 4: know you come back around a lot on the other shows.
- 15:49Speaker 4: Do you just have Fitty been crying again? Do you
- 15:51Speaker 4: cry again?
- 15:51Speaker 3: No?
- 15:52Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know how. I spoke to them
- 15:55Speaker 1: for all of ten minutes yesterday, And this is when
- 15:57Speaker 1: I was leaving, all right, I don't know to tell you.
- 16:01Speaker 1: I don't know about I need more details on this, man,
- 16:04Speaker 1: so do I I was Fitty getting.
- 16:05Speaker 6: Ripped for I was literally testing texting breasticles back about
- 16:10Speaker 6: How did I even come up?
- 16:12Speaker 1: Did you just say you're a breasting? What I was about?
- 16:17Speaker 4: Fitty had an incident yesterday apparently, how the Kyle with
- 16:20Speaker 4: the interviews after our show? Fiddy had and I've been
- 16:24Speaker 4: there before. So this is not mocking, Fitty, but it's
- 16:27Speaker 4: I have a I have problems in parking decks, either leaving,
- 16:31Speaker 4: sometimes finding my car, sometimes with payments.
- 16:34Speaker 1: I do not like parking decks, Fitty. What happened yesterday
- 16:37Speaker 1: at the parking deck at Panthers practice? Cannot confirm, will
- 16:43Speaker 1: not deny. Got lost in the parking deck for a
- 16:47Speaker 1: few minutes. How long? Isn't it the same parking deck
- 16:50Speaker 1: that we're in every time we go over there.
- 16:52Speaker 6: Yeah, but there was so much people there yesterday because
- 16:54Speaker 6: you had training camp and the stadium was getting ready for.
- 16:57Speaker 1: The League's Cup.
- 16:59Speaker 6: I was up on like level four, but when you
- 17:02Speaker 6: walk down, I was walking on a level three.
- 17:06Speaker 1: It took me forever. How long you got estimated it
- 17:09Speaker 1: took you to get out? At least fifteen At least
- 17:12Speaker 1: fifteen I got lost in a parking deck.
- 17:14Speaker 4: This is pre pandemic, so a number of years ago,
- 17:18Speaker 4: for at least thirty five to forty minutes. And that
- 17:22Speaker 4: was It was the night that Mabel was guest judging
- 17:26Speaker 4: a talent show at the Night Theater, and I was
- 17:30Speaker 4: in the deck mach walking with Mabel up and down
- 17:33Speaker 4: the rows, trying to find the car and that's what
- 17:36Speaker 4: she pooped in the middle of the parking deck.
- 17:38Speaker 1: Get cars were having to go around it. I could
- 17:40Speaker 1: not find my car.
- 17:41Speaker 4: Then I could see my car from a different level,
- 17:44Speaker 4: like I actually didn't know how to get to it,
- 17:46Speaker 4: but I couldn't figure out how to get there, and
- 17:47Speaker 4: there was a fence, and I couldn't figure out. I
- 17:50Speaker 4: thought me and Mabel were just gonna perish in that
- 17:53Speaker 4: part of deck.
- 17:55Speaker 6: Mack, I had to climb over What the heck because
- 17:59Speaker 6: I and I still I finally found my truck because
- 18:03Speaker 6: I got the alarm to go off.
- 18:04Speaker 1: You were just there today before. You're so familiar with
- 18:07Speaker 1: that parking garage, but I wasn't familiar with this area
- 18:10Speaker 1: of the garage. Because I was, I was there, I
- 18:13Speaker 1: get it.
- 18:13Speaker 6: I was having to climb over like a wall just
- 18:16Speaker 6: to get to my truck cause I wasn't sure to
- 18:19Speaker 6: get to where my truck was.
- 18:20Speaker 4: Almost had to sacrifice to radio equipment and put it
- 18:23Speaker 4: down and climb climb a fence.
- 18:25Speaker 1: Oh my god, wasn't this a sein Feild episode? Get
- 18:28Speaker 1: stuck in a parking garage? Anyway? Your guys, Mac not
- 18:32Speaker 1: good in the pressure of parking. I like you, hell
- 18:35Speaker 1: you had one two two weeks. A week or two ago.
- 18:37Speaker 1: You went over there and you parked at a different
- 18:39Speaker 1: parking day. Yeah, you hear a different one than the
- 18:41Speaker 1: one where we get free parking. Yeah.
- 18:43Speaker 4: I had to pay thirty dollars to get out and
- 18:46Speaker 4: my card wasn't working on the way Yeah, makes me
- 18:49Speaker 4: feel good. There was three or four cars on the
- 18:51Speaker 4: way out that were honking at me to hurry up.
- 18:54Speaker 1: Talk about you talk about terrifying, also dying.
- 18:59Speaker 6: Claire, the lovely pr woman from the Panthers yesterday she
- 19:04Speaker 6: experienced my sweaty camp had Yeah, because when I when
- 19:10Speaker 6: we got into the suite, she came back, she had
- 19:12Speaker 6: four waters in her hand and she said, here, I'm
- 19:14Speaker 6: pretty sure you.
- 19:15Speaker 1: Might need thee You what gave it away? The forty
- 19:21Speaker 1: ounces of fluid dripping from my cranium Right now, I.
- 19:24Speaker 7: Sweated through my new hat from Dan Mordan. I have
- 19:28Speaker 7: sweat stains already. Let me mention real quick the coaches
- 19:31Speaker 7: poll in college football. Let me pull it back in
- 19:35Speaker 7: here from Sweaty Heads and Lost in Parking Garages and
- 19:39Speaker 7: Afternoon with Fitty Marlowe. The coaches poll out yesterday in
- 19:44Speaker 7: college football Ohio State is number.
- 19:46Speaker 1: One, Oregon's number two. You have eight big Big ten teams,
- 19:51Speaker 1: nine SEC teams. You do have ACC representation. You've got
- 19:57Speaker 1: Miami at seven, you have uh shoe, where did they go?
- 20:01Speaker 3: Sem?
- 20:01Speaker 1: You at twenty, smu A twenty, Clemson at twenty three,
- 20:04Speaker 1: and Louisville was the first team out.
- 20:08Speaker 5: What was that?
- 20:09Speaker 1: Was that response? There?
- 20:10Speaker 6: Bo?
- 20:10Speaker 1: What to Clemson being a going that? We have a
- 20:13Speaker 1: segment later on Cleves seven o'clock hour right about the
- 20:18Speaker 1: overrated underrated in the polls we do. I find one
- 20:21Speaker 1: ACC to be a.
- 20:22Speaker 4: Little underrated and want to be able to overrated. Okay, actually,
- 20:24Speaker 4: excuse me, I fight two to be underrated in the ACC.
- 20:27Speaker 4: Want to be a what overrate?
- 20:28Speaker 1: Is Duke underrated? Bone? Where they were like the fiftieth?
- 20:31Speaker 1: Get I know, I was just talking about the teams
- 20:33Speaker 1: that were in the actual twenty five. Okay, I got
- 20:36Speaker 1: it too.
- 20:36Speaker 4: I think are better than their ranking, and one I
- 20:40Speaker 4: think is may maybe not even the best team.
- 20:42Speaker 1: In their own state. Then wonder who WHOA That's a
- 20:47Speaker 1: tease right there. I did want to mention Bone. I
- 20:50Speaker 1: can go all the way down the others receiving where
- 20:52Speaker 1: the hell did it go? The others. You know where
- 20:54Speaker 1: most of our teams are. I gotta go way down.
- 20:56Speaker 1: I'm scrolling way down right now to get to the
- 20:58Speaker 1: Carolina's outside of Clemson and the damn rankings. All right,
- 21:01Speaker 1: where the hell is this? Thank you for the support there,
- 21:06Speaker 1: appreciate that. All right?
- 21:08Speaker 3: You have.
- 21:10Speaker 1: South Carolina at thirty Okay, if you just count others
- 21:14Speaker 1: receiving votes and where they would be ranked, you have
- 21:17Speaker 1: NC State at thirty nine. Talk about disrespect. Have you
- 21:20Speaker 1: seen CJ. Bailey play coaches? You have Duke at forty six?
- 21:25Speaker 1: About that? There? It is right there, ECU not to
- 21:27Speaker 1: be found, all right.
- 21:29Speaker 4: I would rather be in the receiving votes, Matt, than
- 21:31Speaker 4: the twenty five because that's where that's where you sneak
- 21:35Speaker 4: up on people.
- 21:35Speaker 1: Okay, it's all a plan.
- 21:37Speaker 4: Anybody can be ranked in the top twenty five, But
- 21:39Speaker 4: where can you go from receiving votes because you're kind
- 21:41Speaker 4: of kind of like that sleeping dragon a little bit
- 21:44Speaker 4: due exp playing the long game. Baby, exactly when we
- 21:47Speaker 4: come I mean, that's sincerely, when we come back. We
- 21:50Speaker 4: have more Panther stuff, including Canalis on a fiery practice
- 21:54Speaker 4: and another injury scare, this one involving XL Sports Radio
- 21:58Speaker 4: ninety two seven WFNZ.
- 22:18Speaker 8: Made a really nice play, high pointed it. Cam Miller's
- 22:22Speaker 8: in great position, came down really hard, went in, evaluated him,
- 22:26Speaker 8: cleared him of concussion, but it looks like a stinger.
- 22:28Speaker 8: So we're gonna evaluate him more over the next day
- 22:31Speaker 8: or so and just make sure that, you know, he's
- 22:33Speaker 8: in the right spot. So we have a nice little
- 22:35Speaker 8: window here. He wouldn't be playing in this game, but
- 22:38Speaker 8: we have a nice little window to get him turned
- 22:39Speaker 8: around and just see where he's at. No, they cleared
- 22:43Speaker 8: him for that.
- 22:44Speaker 1: That was coach Canalis after practice, so definitely good news.
- 22:48Speaker 1: We saw Excel the news of XL being carted off,
- 22:52Speaker 1: you know, on Panthers Twitter during practice yesterday. Heard it
- 22:55Speaker 1: was maybe a head injury, so you start worrying about,
- 22:59Speaker 1: you know, a series concussion. Sounds like probably a stinger,
- 23:03Speaker 1: like Canal has said, so that is certainly good news.
- 23:05Speaker 1: He did add in bone that despite he didn't say
- 23:08Speaker 1: despite Mac and Bone wanting to see him, but he
- 23:10Speaker 1: did add in bone that despite the fact that we
- 23:14Speaker 1: want to see him, Xcel was not gonna play anyway, okay,
- 23:17Speaker 1: in this game. He said, Brooks is not gonna play
- 23:19Speaker 1: in this game. Tremble's not gonna play in this game.
- 23:23Speaker 1: They're gonna sit out thirty plus players, aren't they. Oh yeah,
- 23:26Speaker 1: no doubt, no doubt. We were trying to at least
- 23:30Speaker 1: Bone get some of the like like when he said
- 23:33Speaker 1: guys that are battling for starting job, I kind of
- 23:36Speaker 1: thought like maybe there'd be twenty guys out. The more
- 23:39Speaker 1: I hear, like when Princely is saying looking forward to
- 23:42Speaker 1: being in a jumpsuit and then they ask him, oh,
- 23:44Speaker 1: you're not playing. Oh I don't know, I don't know,
- 23:46Speaker 1: but I got to jumpsuit. Iron Like, if Princeley's in
- 23:48Speaker 1: a jumpsuit, bro Like, it's possible Bone that Panther fans
- 23:52Speaker 1: will not know the names half our starters.
- 23:54Speaker 4: Canalys is so into sitting guys. I worry about Week
- 23:57Speaker 4: one against the Bears. At this point, we got a.
- 24:01Speaker 1: Long season ahead, long season. Oh man, could you imagine
- 24:05Speaker 1: imagine the text line. Imagine the text line, Uh, I've
- 24:07Speaker 1: got to clear something up before we give you to
- 24:09Speaker 1: Panther scoop. And it was a feisty no pads and
- 24:12Speaker 1: then boys were still scrapping yesterday, which I love getting
- 24:15Speaker 1: you to that point at camp where they're getting tired
- 24:17Speaker 1: of each other. Probably they're ready to hit someone. So
- 24:19Speaker 1: what are they gonna do? You're gonna stand in a
- 24:21Speaker 1: jumpsuit in Ohio tomorrow night. What's the way to get
- 24:23Speaker 1: tired of your teammates after a few weeks? Can't imagine.
- 24:28Speaker 1: I can't imagine, Bony. I do have to clear why
- 24:30Speaker 1: you're a big old ass? I do, Hey, hey, hey,
- 24:32Speaker 1: settle down, all right?
- 24:33Speaker 3: I do.
- 24:34Speaker 1: I do have to clear something up here, Bone, because
- 24:36Speaker 1: multiple Texters are saying, why the heck is Mac making
- 24:41Speaker 1: fun of Fitting and Bone for their struggles in a
- 24:43Speaker 1: parking garage. Mac doesn't drive. I'd have to clear this up.
- 24:49Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if this this this
- 24:52Speaker 1: tail has grown to a point bone where maybe it's
- 24:56Speaker 1: been exaggerated. I actually get up and drive to work
- 24:59Speaker 1: in the morn. If I have to go somewhere, I
- 25:01Speaker 1: am allowed to drive. My wife will allow me to
- 25:04Speaker 1: drive in my call, my own car. It is just
- 25:07Speaker 1: when the two of our us are riding together. She
- 25:10Speaker 1: would prefer to drive because by driving terrifies her. What
- 25:13Speaker 1: am I supposed to do? Fight with her? Rip the
- 25:16Speaker 1: keys out of her hands and say lady, you're sitting
- 25:18Speaker 1: in the damn passenger seat, strap in and good luck.
- 25:22Speaker 1: Like but you know what I mean, Mac riding the
- 25:25Speaker 1: past car so like, but this whole thing like a texter. Literally,
- 25:29Speaker 1: Mac never drives in his life. I would wish, I
- 25:32Speaker 1: wish I could live a life bone where I had
- 25:34Speaker 1: a chauffeur driving me everywhere. That is sadly not the case.
- 25:38Speaker 1: This isn't driving mister Mackie all around the city. He
- 25:41Speaker 1: does drive. I see it every day.
- 25:42Speaker 3: Now.
- 25:43Speaker 1: I don't drive well, my wife's probably right, I don't.
- 25:45Speaker 1: I have a good record.
- 25:46Speaker 4: There's a little mister magoon nature do his game. But no,
- 25:49Speaker 4: the just all kidding inside. Mac does every keys a
- 25:53Speaker 4: valid license, thank you. He drives himself to many drive throughs,
- 25:56Speaker 4: thank you, drives to soccer practices.
- 25:59Speaker 1: It's not his wife taking the keys every single time.
- 26:02Speaker 1: He's not. He's not like an old man getting driven
- 26:04Speaker 1: around the city. Glad we could clear that up there, man, Glad.
- 26:07Speaker 1: I'm not that helpless, all right, I'm not that sad
- 26:10Speaker 1: and helpless. But I'm close, Yeah, I'm for the leader, closer,
- 26:13Speaker 1: but not fully no, not fully all right, So let's
- 26:15Speaker 1: let's talk a little bit We already talked about Lebrian
- 26:18Speaker 1: ray surprise retirement yesterday. How about this one? How about
- 26:23Speaker 1: this one bone? You are very into the announcers that
- 26:25Speaker 1: will call games. Yesterday we found out who the announcers
- 26:30Speaker 1: were for the Fox games. Drew Brees will call. Not
- 26:34Speaker 1: quite as bad as Jonathan Filma, but it is in
- 26:36Speaker 1: New Orleans saying Drew Brees is the analyst bone for
- 26:40Speaker 1: the for the.
- 26:41Speaker 4: Panther game against the Bears in Week one. Yeah, took
- 26:43Speaker 4: over last year when Mark Sanchez had his run in
- 26:47Speaker 4: with the wall. That's a pretty deep top three in
- 26:51Speaker 4: terms of stature for Fox, whether or not you particularly white,
- 26:54Speaker 4: Tom Brady or Drew Brees, whatever, the fact that Drew
- 26:57Speaker 4: Brees mag one of the best ever is their third
- 27:00Speaker 4: broadcaster shows you how deep the top of Fox as
- 27:02Speaker 4: announce there list is. With Brady Olsen the second guy,
- 27:05Speaker 4: and he's Bre's good.
- 27:06Speaker 1: Though he wasn't. I'm not sure he's good. He couldn't
- 27:12Speaker 1: really hurt him a whole lot this go around, so
- 27:14Speaker 1: I'm not really sure. And I only say this out
- 27:16Speaker 1: of bitterness because he carved us up all the time,
- 27:18Speaker 1: and I know he was very good at quarterbacking. But
- 27:20Speaker 1: he goes into the hall with Luke on Saturday. But
- 27:23Speaker 1: I'm not sure he's very he doesn't seem to have
- 27:25Speaker 1: a lot of personality.
- 27:26Speaker 4: Well, it's an interesting pairing because Adam Aman does Adam
- 27:29Speaker 4: I mean, is very excitable, gets really fired, almost Eric
- 27:32Speaker 4: Collins like in terms of how he does the games.
- 27:35Speaker 4: Drew Brees is a little more understated. So that's an
- 27:37Speaker 4: interesting pairing there. Bruise at Adam, I mean.
- 27:40Speaker 1: Christina pink on the sidelines too. Don't want to leave
- 27:42Speaker 1: her out. I feel like we should have had Olson.
- 27:45Speaker 1: That's why I'm bitter because Atlanta and Pittsburgh got Olson.
- 27:49Speaker 1: Philly and Washington had the number one team with Brady.
- 27:52Speaker 1: But I like Atlanta Pittsburgh. I thought tops Us.
- 27:56Speaker 4: I thought I thought the Panthers playing a big market
- 27:59Speaker 4: team in the Bay off the playoffs last year. I
- 28:02Speaker 4: thought Olson played for both teams. I thought it would
- 28:05Speaker 4: be Olsen as well.
- 28:06Speaker 1: They're honest, but you got Rogers, and you got the
- 28:09Speaker 1: legendary Steelers and the Falcons, everybody's favorite fantasy team with
- 28:13Speaker 1: all the skill position players. But you don't have a
- 28:15Speaker 1: damn quarterback and get the ball to him. But Anyway,
- 28:18Speaker 1: I digress what I want to say. Did you see
- 28:20Speaker 1: what Aaron Rodgers said? It obviously recovered yesterday the big
- 28:25Speaker 1: headline of what he said, right, Tony Fauci, I have
- 28:27Speaker 1: never seen the ESPN all those shots, but he is
- 28:31Speaker 1: telling everybody when we lost thirty to six or whatever
- 28:34Speaker 1: was to Houston in the wildcard game, I was very ill.
- 28:38Speaker 1: I had flu like symptoms and I was vomiting the day.
- 28:41Speaker 1: He wants to make sure everybody knows why he played
- 28:44Speaker 1: that bad, but he didn't play much worse than he
- 28:46Speaker 1: played often throughout the season. I just wanted to let
- 28:49Speaker 1: Aaron know there is a vaccine for the flu. I
- 28:51Speaker 1: just want to let him know. And then ironic, so
- 28:54Speaker 1: many people played about COVID. All right, anyway, let's move
- 28:58Speaker 1: along here. I'm just I'll get eight tags, seven, four, five, seven, nine, six, ten.
- 29:03Speaker 1: So yesterday sounds bone like a practice of defense won.
- 29:08Speaker 1: You know, and again you don't want the offense has
- 29:10Speaker 1: been doing really good in camp, but you want give
- 29:12Speaker 1: and take. So it sounds like, by most of the
- 29:14Speaker 1: accounts I read, the defense won this one. It's an
- 29:17Speaker 1: interesting practice because early on Dave Canalis didn't like what
- 29:22Speaker 1: he was seeing and he had to call the guys
- 29:24Speaker 1: over and basically, you know, get him into a huddle
- 29:28Speaker 1: and say, what the heck are we doing here? They said,
- 29:30Speaker 1: why are we lollygagging? Actually let him explain, because I
- 29:33Speaker 1: don't think he said lollygagging. Bone. This is coach Canalis
- 29:36Speaker 1: talking about why he had to stop practice and let
- 29:40Speaker 1: these boys. Let these boys hear them, you know, the first.
- 29:42Speaker 8: Drill, I just really wasn't happy with the tempo we
- 29:44Speaker 8: were practicing at. We can chase better, we can cover
- 29:48Speaker 8: down better, and we have a standard. The players have
- 29:51Speaker 8: a standard. When they're not picking it up and talking
- 29:53Speaker 8: to each other, it's my job to make sure that
- 29:55Speaker 8: we just get it back on track. They did, and
- 29:56Speaker 8: then it kind of turned into a little bit over
- 29:59Speaker 8: the top, but it was worth it. It was worth
- 30:02Speaker 8: just taking that moment. There are quarters that way, there
- 30:05Speaker 8: are halves that way. We have to find a way
- 30:07Speaker 8: to regroup. If we don't come out with the right energy,
- 30:09Speaker 8: we have to be able to refocus, play to play,
- 30:12Speaker 8: drive to drive. So a great opportunity to just tell him, hey,
- 30:15Speaker 8: sometimes it's like that. Sometimes it's like this, and we
- 30:17Speaker 8: have to snap out of it and make sure we
- 30:19Speaker 8: refocus and get back to our ball.
- 30:20Speaker 1: So, as he alluded to Bone, he might have fired
- 30:22Speaker 1: him up too much because then they got to scrap it.
- 30:26Speaker 1: Ven after his speech, he got to scrap in Cuba
- 30:29Speaker 1: Hubbard versus Bobby Brown. Cuba, according to Gabe McDonald, threw
- 30:34Speaker 1: a punch of Bobby Brown, and according to everybody that
- 30:37Speaker 1: witnessed it, he chucked Bobby Brown's helmet down the field.
- 30:43Speaker 1: Then Luke Fortner, starting center, and rookie defensive lineman Lee
- 30:48Speaker 1: Hunter got into it. Sounds like they were on top
- 30:50Speaker 1: of each other and there was a Fortner punch. So
- 30:53Speaker 1: now Bone, we go to Dave Canalist because Dave, you
- 30:57Speaker 1: got them all focused and fired up, but then Dave
- 31:00Speaker 1: didn't like it when they got too fired up. Listen
- 31:02Speaker 1: to him talking about about them getting getting into scraps.
- 31:06Speaker 8: Well, just because of the numbers of practices that we've
- 31:09Speaker 8: been able to store up, you know, the more that
- 31:10Speaker 8: we go against each other and you know, guys start
- 31:13Speaker 8: learning each other's rush moves, they start learning the little
- 31:16Speaker 8: tricks in the run game, the double moves, the things,
- 31:19Speaker 8: the different things that come out of the concepts, you know,
- 31:21Speaker 8: and so the tighter it gets to guys anticipating at
- 31:24Speaker 8: the herder. They try to compete, and we have a
- 31:27Speaker 8: great team that's competing against each other right now. It's
- 31:29Speaker 8: bringing out the best, but it also it gets frustrating
- 31:31Speaker 8: at times, and that's when you know, tempers and emotions
- 31:34Speaker 8: start to flare. And we got to be able to
- 31:35Speaker 8: operate with that way.
- 31:36Speaker 1: So there you go. Well, you asked for a coach.
- 31:39Speaker 1: You it was too much, Okay, you asked for it.
- 31:42Speaker 4: That feels like the scene out of like I don't
- 31:44Speaker 4: know if it would be ten Lasso coach at soccer
- 31:48Speaker 4: or you know, Chad Powers. I don't know, a sitcom
- 31:51Speaker 4: like show where you try to the coach tries to
- 31:53Speaker 4: get the guys fired up, then has to stop them
- 31:55Speaker 4: because they were too.
- 31:56Speaker 1: Now you're fighting each other. I didn't want this. I
- 31:59Speaker 1: just wanted some focus in practice. I don't know, man,
- 32:02Speaker 1: these guys, no one hurt each other. Yesterday they got separated.
- 32:07Speaker 1: Give me the fights, baby, can give me the scrap.
- 32:09Speaker 1: Come on, I like it. Man.
- 32:10Speaker 4: It's like it's like puppies that have to get their
- 32:12Speaker 4: energy out. At some point, these guys have to let
- 32:15Speaker 4: all this stuff out. And unfortunately, at this point in camp,
- 32:19Speaker 4: it ends up being against their own guys at times.
- 32:22Speaker 4: This is why with once they get to like once
- 32:25Speaker 4: they get to the joint sessions, Matt, so many scraps
- 32:27Speaker 4: happened because these guys are just ready to go.
- 32:30Speaker 1: Somebody imagine by then, because how many weeks we got,
- 32:32Speaker 1: We've got the we play next week Buffalo, yeah on
- 32:37Speaker 1: the road, right, yes, Okay, so the preseason schedule is
- 32:41Speaker 1: not really meant. It's kind of like they're playing a
- 32:43Speaker 1: game we're gonna tune in, all right. I know I
- 32:46Speaker 1: know the regular seasons schedule top of my head. I
- 32:48Speaker 1: don't know the preseason games that well, cause first three
- 32:52Speaker 1: are away right Canton, then next week Buffalo, then Jacksonville
- 32:56Speaker 1: and that has a joint practice and I'm Houston at home,
- 32:58Speaker 1: and that's the joint practice that week. So we basically
- 33:01Speaker 1: what I was trying to say is we still got
- 33:03Speaker 1: two more weeks till the joint practice, right, yeah, yeah,
- 33:05Speaker 1: So it's it's imagine how they're gonna be feeling that
- 33:08Speaker 1: to your point, you know, pet up aggression, big time,
- 33:12Speaker 1: big like Murphy at the dog park, right, try to
- 33:14Speaker 1: get after these boys. Does he like to play nice?
- 33:17Speaker 5: Though?
- 33:17Speaker 1: At least he's incredible with other dogs. Yeah, that's good.
- 33:21Speaker 1: That's good because I already.
- 33:22Speaker 4: Got a he got a leadership award at the pet
- 33:24Speaker 4: resort for his ability to bring all the other dogs
- 33:28Speaker 4: into the into the group.
- 33:30Speaker 1: I guess that's well. See that's good though, you want that.
- 33:33Speaker 1: We had a see, only what he doesn't like is me?
- 33:37Speaker 1: Was it? Some women? By the way? All he loves him?
- 33:40Speaker 3: Some women?
- 33:41Speaker 1: All right, man, murfew ladies, man, baby, I had that's see,
- 33:45Speaker 1: that's what you want though. I had a situation at
- 33:47Speaker 1: the dog park where Bacon got away from me and
- 33:51Speaker 1: went over and tried to take a piece out of
- 33:54Speaker 1: the ear of another dog. And this old lady owner
- 33:57Speaker 1: of that dog was furious with me, so protective of
- 34:00Speaker 1: that little runt and furious with me. So, yeah, you
- 34:04Speaker 1: want playful, playful, it's very good. Oh yeah, I got
- 34:07Speaker 1: the opposite bone. He's in the Oklahoma drills. He does
- 34:11Speaker 1: a lot of that stuff. All he is, he's he's
- 34:13Speaker 1: not so he wears out the other dogs. There you go,
- 34:15Speaker 1: there you go. Other owners like him because he's like
- 34:18Speaker 1: that's good. Yeah, that's good energy sapper. Let's uh, let's
- 34:21Speaker 1: talk about cam Newton visiting Panthers camp. Cam Newton's fourth
- 34:25Speaker 1: and one podcast did a training camp show. We are
- 34:28Speaker 1: fully back, y'all, We are fully back. Cam is back.
- 34:32Speaker 1: Uh it is. It's a love affair again. He was
- 34:34Speaker 1: there for the playoff game, got to hit to keep
- 34:37Speaker 1: pounding drum bone. And now he is in this mix. Right,
- 34:41Speaker 1: you get the feeling we're gonna see him on the
- 34:42Speaker 1: regular and it's gonna open up the door for the inevitable,
- 34:47Speaker 1: you know, honoring of him and putting him in the
- 34:50Speaker 1: Ring of Honor and all that sort of stuff. But
- 34:52Speaker 1: listen to this. He was hanging out with JJ Jansen,
- 34:55Speaker 1: our guy long snapper of your Carolina Panthers, and they
- 35:00Speaker 1: talked about training camp back in the day, the good
- 35:02Speaker 1: old days bone and the game's a pig that they
- 35:05Speaker 1: would play.
- 35:06Speaker 3: But what you're finding is there's lots of crossover. And
- 35:09Speaker 3: that's what's so special about training camp.
- 35:11Speaker 1: Right.
- 35:11Speaker 3: We had so much time in Spartanburg, right, you'd have
- 35:14Speaker 3: you'd have card games. Yet you know, I always remember
- 35:17Speaker 3: we had a bunch of guys playing like bou Ray,
- 35:19Speaker 3: like in the in the lobby. But then all of
- 35:21Speaker 3: a sudden, Stu and like McCaffrey like playing the piano
- 35:24Speaker 3: and it's.
- 35:25Speaker 8: Like elevator.
- 35:29Speaker 3: Screaming, and you know everyone's watching a pig.
- 35:32Speaker 1: Right. We had legendary games and Khalil's.
- 35:35Speaker 3: Videotaping them and there's all these videos and stuff and
- 35:37Speaker 3: but it but when you have good locker room culture,
- 35:41Speaker 3: it's kind of starts clicking and it turns into like
- 35:45Speaker 3: this is the culture of the team. All of a sudden,
- 35:47Speaker 3: it's like, hey, we there's this little nerve game and
- 35:50Speaker 3: we're playing Pig, And all of a sudden it's in
- 35:51Speaker 3: the team meeting room and now we're spending forty five
- 35:54Speaker 3: minutes in the team meeting playing the semi finals in
- 35:56Speaker 3: the finals. Right again, all of that stuff. So I
- 36:00Speaker 3: always says, as a side as a side note, we
- 36:02Speaker 3: played a lot of pick.
- 36:03Speaker 1: You and I had some competitions.
- 36:04Speaker 3: I always said the guy who did the best in
- 36:06Speaker 3: Pig was Charles Johnson because he always bet on me
- 36:09Speaker 3: in one. I think Charles Johnson ever wont to match
- 36:12Speaker 3: a pick he might have, he may have come out
- 36:14Speaker 3: the best of all the guys.
- 36:16Speaker 1: He was the don key bro.
- 36:20Speaker 5: Pig was Pig was That was such a big real
- 36:25Speaker 5: shifter in our day to day things.
- 36:28Speaker 1: There you go. Those pig games were legendary. Bone.
- 36:31Speaker 4: There's a chance that when JJ walked away, Cam told
- 36:34Speaker 4: uh his co host Peggy, there he goes, Man, it's
- 36:37Speaker 4: so cool to see JJ coach down here.
- 36:39Speaker 1: Now, Man, that's awesome. He's a great player out here,
- 36:42Speaker 1: man wig Stabbord. Now he's coaching. Cam may think JJ's
- 36:45Speaker 1: on the coaching staff, Cam was. Cam was like, you're
- 36:47Speaker 1: the perfect person to talk to because you have been
- 36:50Speaker 1: here through this era, that era, this era, that era,
- 36:53Speaker 1: this coach, that coach. It's like when when JJ starts
- 36:56Speaker 1: talking about yeah, so I got my start at the
- 36:59Speaker 1: end of the John five Sarah, Like that really iss you.

- 39:14Speaker 4: With is his old uh, the old dead leg fake
- 39:18Speaker 4: slide move that changed the game? How is that's the
- 39:20Speaker 4: league in the NFL? Maybe he pulls that one out
- 39:22Speaker 4: the steaky leg. Oh my goodness, this dude says, Kenny
- 39:27Speaker 4: Pickett doesn't get a ring, he gets a ring. Pop
- 39:29Speaker 4: stop that. We all got to stop that.
- 39:31Speaker 1: He's our guy. Now, I know I'm setting a bad example,
- 39:34Speaker 1: but I feel like Boone, we got to stop the
- 39:36Speaker 1: small hands jokes. Yeah, I mean we had embraced this
- 39:39Speaker 1: man here in Charlotte. All right, Let's let's talk a
- 39:42Speaker 1: little bit here about the hornet because Brandon Miller did
- 39:45Speaker 1: a interview with the Road Tripping Podcast, and there's good
- 39:49Speaker 1: stuff in there. Man talking about the up he's still
- 39:51Speaker 1: is confident about the upcoming season. But let's start first
- 39:55Speaker 1: with what he said about the lamellow ball trade and
- 39:58Speaker 1: his his his first public reaction to it. Oh, you
- 40:01Speaker 1: know it's tough, man.
- 40:02Speaker 5: You know it's tough going through you know, trade deadline.
- 40:05Speaker 5: Uh this time, you know, seeing you know, your brother's
- 40:09Speaker 5: day one, you know gone, and you know it hurts.
- 40:11Speaker 5: But I think we all know the NBA game.
- 40:15Speaker 2: Uh.
- 40:16Speaker 5: And now I know he would be great in Minnesota
- 40:19Speaker 5: and what they have going on there. You know, of course,
- 40:21Speaker 5: he still has a lot to learn. I feel like
- 40:23Speaker 5: everybody you know that's that young has a lot to learn.
- 40:26Speaker 5: So just you know, excited to see, you know, his growth.
- 40:30Speaker 5: And that was the main thing I was excited for
- 40:31Speaker 5: him last year. It was just his leadership growth. I
- 40:36Speaker 5: feel like the media kind of had him looking crazy
- 40:39Speaker 5: a lot of times.
- 40:40Speaker 2: But I think, you know, in what don't ever listen? Yes,
- 40:45Speaker 2: that's advert I wanted to explain what I'm saying. I
- 40:48Speaker 2: was gonna tell him, don't ever listen to the media
- 40:51Speaker 2: never ever. Don't I see it though, See.
- 40:54Speaker 1: What included included including us? What was crazy he was?
- 40:58Speaker 1: He was? He was looked at as, you know, not
- 41:00Speaker 1: a good leader. Okay, I won't say that.
- 41:03Speaker 3: And you could say something different about that, of course, So.
- 41:08Speaker 1: It's interesting bone that his reaction was not oh my god,
- 41:11Speaker 1: here's what we lost. It was LaMelo's gonna do great there.
- 41:16Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, I was so glad last
- 41:18Speaker 1: year that Lamello finally started shutting up some of these
- 41:21Speaker 1: people that that had been calling him out. You know,
- 41:24Speaker 1: he took it as a chance to stand up for Lamello.
- 41:26Speaker 4: Also interesting too, though he did say, well, Melo's got
- 41:28Speaker 4: a lot to learn as well, So that was an
- 41:30Speaker 4: interesting little what all side comment there too. Didn't really
- 41:35Speaker 4: follow up on that, but yeah, that was interesting. Uh,
- 41:38Speaker 4: Miller's got a lot to word too. Basketball wise, they
- 41:41Speaker 4: all do. There's so many young bucks over the CON's
- 41:43Speaker 4: got stuff. They all got stuff to learn.
- 41:45Speaker 3: It.
- 41:45Speaker 4: Uh, it's it's it's Miller's team now, man, no doubt
- 41:48Speaker 4: Miller and Cones, right, wouldn't you say, wouldn't you say?
- 41:52Speaker 1: It's kind of like co ownership at least at least
- 41:55Speaker 1: for now. I think that's the the the feeling, you know,
- 41:58Speaker 1: that they have to young bucks lead it. I was
- 42:01Speaker 1: just saying Miller because he's got more years in the league.
- 42:04Speaker 1: That's why I was just using him first. But yes, yeah,
- 42:06Speaker 1: as far as Oh, Richard Jefferson, I love a guy
- 42:10Speaker 1: in the media saying don't listen to the media. Yeah,
- 42:13Speaker 1: that means we shouldn't listen to you, rich Richard. We don't. Yeah,
- 42:15Speaker 1: we don't want to listen to you in the media. Richard,
- 42:20Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. Anyway, It's like it's like anytime I'll
- 42:24Speaker 1: hear an athlete like upset with something we said. Doesn't
- 42:28Speaker 1: happen a lot, but it has happened in the past,
- 42:31Speaker 1: and my reaction is kind of like, why the heck
- 42:33Speaker 1: do you listen to us. We're just a bunch of dummies,
- 42:36Speaker 1: you know what I mean. That's why I reaction, like,
- 42:38Speaker 1: don't listen to us. We're just yapping, man, that's your fault.
- 42:42Speaker 1: We don't know what the hell we're talking about. All right, Anyway,
- 42:45Speaker 1: let's move along. Because Brandon Miller in the same interview
- 42:48Speaker 1: talked about this team and he is still high on
- 42:51Speaker 1: this team as long as they can stay injury free.
- 42:56Speaker 5: I've always said, if you know, if we're a healthy team,
- 42:59Speaker 5: we're a danger team. We can go a long way
- 43:02Speaker 5: a long way, and we've we've showed that we can
- 43:05Speaker 5: compete with any team on any given night. I think
- 43:09Speaker 5: just of course there's always been the health problems. I've
- 43:13Speaker 5: never really used that for an excuse, but I think,
- 43:17Speaker 5: just like I said before, the level of focus, and
- 43:21Speaker 5: I think, you know, the bond of the players goes
- 43:23Speaker 5: a long way, and you know, eighty two game season
- 43:27Speaker 5: and then of course the extra twenty, you know, it
- 43:32Speaker 5: could be tough. And that's why I preach, you know,
- 43:35Speaker 5: the stronger the bond is, the easier it is on
- 43:38Speaker 5: the on the floor. And I you know, but I
- 43:41Speaker 5: really believe in that.
- 43:42Speaker 1: Apparently Bone right before that interview because the host brought
- 43:46Speaker 1: this up, she said, speaking of the bond, you guys
- 43:49Speaker 1: just had a team. Apparently there's a big team. There
- 43:50Speaker 1: was a team dinner recently that these boys were having.
- 43:54Speaker 1: So even in the off season, they're getting together. We
- 43:56Speaker 1: know they're working out over there as well. So anyway,
- 43:58Speaker 1: a little bit a little bit of Hornet's cover. It's
- 44:00Speaker 1: good to hear from Brandon. I did not hear his
- 44:03Speaker 1: health his personal health update though. That's something I'll be
- 44:05Speaker 1: intrigued to dig into the full interview and see what
- 44:08Speaker 1: he said about it. We're not that far off from
- 44:11Speaker 1: their their training camp, game going that's crazy as that sounds.
- 44:14Speaker 1: Feels like it was a quick off season, but usually
- 44:16Speaker 1: right around week one of the NFL seasons when the
- 44:18Speaker 1: Hornets get together for their camp, so we're not far
- 44:21Speaker 1: off from that right now. No, it's it's all gonna
- 44:23Speaker 1: come fast, baby, It is a I.
- 44:25Speaker 4: Think the World Cup bridge the gap of how long
- 44:29Speaker 4: the summer is because it feels like it shouldn't be
- 44:31Speaker 4: almost NBA training camp time. Also, right, yeah, it feels
- 44:34Speaker 4: like it was a short summer, right. I think the
- 44:36Speaker 4: World Cup had a lot to do with that. Oh,
- 44:37Speaker 4: the World Cup got us through, baby.
- 44:39Speaker 1: Y'all say what you want about soccer, but fifty million
- 44:41Speaker 1: damn people watched Argentina and Spain play a soccer match
- 44:45Speaker 1: in this country. Are you freaking kidding me? No, that
- 44:47Speaker 1: World Cup got y'all all through the summer, doldjo, But
- 44:49Speaker 1: I watched for fifty million. Nobody watches kickball now, I'm
- 44:54Speaker 1: not sure fifty million watched Charlotte FC last night, but
- 44:57Speaker 1: damn them boys were good last night. All right, let's
- 44:59Speaker 1: get to one last juicy audio clip. So the awesome
- 45:04Speaker 1: and talented Kelly Bardick. She works with w CCB. She's
- 45:07Speaker 1: a TV veteran in this town, and she was listening
- 45:12Speaker 1: yesterday and heard us talking about that there is this
- 45:17Speaker 1: movement and Colin was talking to us about this yesterday
- 45:22Speaker 1: that John Metchi has a brother that plays in the
- 45:24Speaker 1: CFL and they call him Mechier out there. So Colin
- 45:28Speaker 1: is like that was insistent, that's that's you know, that's
- 45:31Speaker 1: how the family says its last name. So there has
- 45:35Speaker 1: been this Mechier versus Mechi thing. What are we supposed
- 45:38Speaker 1: to be calling him? Well, Kelly Bartik hurt us talking
- 45:41Speaker 1: about this, and she did the legwork the investigative journalism.
- 45:46Speaker 1: Listening to this from WCCB, Kelly Bardi, Kelly Bardick asking
- 45:50Speaker 1: John Metchi about this situation. I have to ask, because
- 45:54Speaker 1: everyone is dying to know.
- 45:55Speaker 8: How do you pronounce your last name Mitchi or Mechier.
- 45:58Speaker 1: I would say I've been saying metch but I think
- 46:00Speaker 1: it originates in Mechier.
- 46:02Speaker 8: What do you want people to call you here in Charlotte,
- 46:05Speaker 8: I'll say Mechi Michi Okay, because some people are calling
- 46:07Speaker 8: you metch for sure, because they're not sure if it's
- 46:09Speaker 8: a met your Mechi.
- 46:10Speaker 3: Yeah, I heard that on the radio today.
- 46:11Speaker 1: Really, I don't I don't think that's why they're doing it.
- 46:13Speaker 1: I think that's just I think people just like to
- 46:15Speaker 1: give nicknames to everything or try to like abbreviate everything.
- 46:17Speaker 1: You know, aren't you heard it here first? There you go.
- 46:20Speaker 1: I don't answer, Thank you, k B. I think he
- 46:23Speaker 1: likes Metch.
- 46:25Speaker 4: He was questioning many people on Twitter said yesterday, I'm
- 46:28Speaker 4: trying to make Metch happen.
- 46:29Speaker 1: That's what I said yesterday live on the air. Okay, yeah,
- 46:32Speaker 1: I used that. What What the heck is that a
- 46:34Speaker 1: reference to Meirl girls girls? Yeah, I used it live
- 46:37Speaker 1: on the air.
- 46:37Speaker 3: Baby.
- 46:38Speaker 1: That is chocking development that one of us would not
- 46:42Speaker 1: listen to the other one. As far as this goes, Bone,
- 46:45Speaker 1: it is settled. We can stay Metchi, we can stay Mechi,
- 46:48Speaker 1: although maybe technically if Colin is going back through the
- 46:52Speaker 1: origin of the Mechi family Mechier family, it sounds like it. Basically,
- 46:57Speaker 1: I think what happened, Bone is so many people. You
- 47:00Speaker 1: see this with athletes, right, It's why we have the
- 47:03Speaker 1: etns trying to correct their name after all these years
- 47:06Speaker 1: or whatever. Like so many athletes just people just start
- 47:09Speaker 1: saying their name a certain way, and it's like, I
- 47:12Speaker 1: just don't think they bother correcting. So I feel like
- 47:15Speaker 1: Mechi just has gone and Mechi it started as Mechi
- 47:18Speaker 1: a way back on the family tree, and he just
- 47:20Speaker 1: goes with Mechi. Now it has become Mechi in his mind.
- 47:23Speaker 4: Yeah, So KB getting down to the important stuff there
- 47:27Speaker 4: here on the Make in Bonet Show when we come back.
- 47:31Speaker 1: Here on the radio.
- 47:32Speaker 4: On the radio program, we are two weeks in the
- 47:35Speaker 4: camp and we need to know what things do you
- 47:38Speaker 4: truly believe in with the Panthers and what things are
- 47:42Speaker 4: warring you. Sports Radio ninety two seven WFNZ
