  Speaker 3: road this week at Mama Stroh's abode in the great

  Speaker 3: state or commonwealth, I should say, of Virginia. The Stroh Zone.

  Speaker 3: She is Ashley Strohlein. Stroh, what's going on?
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Good morning, guys. How are you?
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: What's happening?
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: Is the squirrel gravy on the stove right now?
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Stroke? I told City, I said, actually, we are going
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: to have biscuits and gravy. But, you know, Mama Stroke
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: doesn't do squirrel gravy. It's pork chop gravy. So can
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: you hear the pork chops frying if I put this on? Anyways,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: they got the pork chops.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Oh, I hear it. Live frying.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: And then you take the pork chop grease and put
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: the gravy in there, and that's how you get the.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Flavor from the gravy. Oh, I'm getting hungry. I'm getting hungry.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: If we hear a squirrel running around, we're going to
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: have to stop.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: The show, though.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: You know, actually, the way mom treats the animals here,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: just to give you... Like, she puts... we don't, you know,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: we have like a, I'll send you guys some pictures
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: and videos when we get off of the phone, but
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: like we have like a whole like family of deer
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: that come down that she puts corn out for that just,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: that just live on the property. She does the same
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: for the squirrels and, and in a very sweet, sincere way,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: not because any of, any of those are going to
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: be something that we're eating later. They get to live
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: here and enjoy everything. So let me be clear before.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Not in an XL type of way.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: I got you. What was, before we get to our
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: somewhat depressing Charlotte sports developments here, Stro, I'd like to
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: ask when you were growing up, what was your favorite
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: like Southern dish that mama Stro made?
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Hmm.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Oh, man, that's good. I mean, when I come home,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: I do always ask for biscuits and gravy because it's
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: just not the same as anything else. But, I mean,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: there's a great peach cobbler that mom makes. Man, let's,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: you know, let's ask mom, what do you think my
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: favorite dish you made was when I was growing up?
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: You want to ask? I put her on the spot.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Uh-oh. Now she's nervous. We're here for you. Play the
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Jeopardy theme, Finn.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: You know, she said I always ate a variety of stuff,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: like stuff from the garden. Like, you know, she grows
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: a garden, so there's nothing like, you know, fresh veggies and... Yeah,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: she said cooked cabbage, corn.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Oh, she lost me. She lost me on cooked cabbage.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: I've heard rumors of these things.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Cooked cabbage is good. I'm telling you guys. I could be.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I could be... I could be dead, and I wouldn't
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: eat cabbage.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: She threw this out. You guys might judge me for
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: this one. She goes, chicken livers. You love chicken livers.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: And then she just asked if I want those for supper.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: I think they're pretty great.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Oh, dang. Chicken livers, you go.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: I don't know if I can go there. That's about
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: the only part of the chicken I don't eat.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Mama Stroh, we appreciate the invite, but we'll just eat
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: dinner over here tonight. Thank you. Oh, man.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: So, Stroh. You'd have one meal that she cooked, and
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: you'd go back for seconds.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: Oh, some of it. some of it's making me hungry
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: it's sounding good all right so let that pork chop
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: that pork chop's got me right now Stroh, when we
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: get really high, when things are going good for the Panthers,
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: you're usually level-headed, saying, I don't feel good, getting all overconfident.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: How do you feel right now that they've lost two
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: in a row? The O-line's struggling. The cornerbacks are hurt.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: We're down to our fifth cornerback and sixth cornerback. And
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: then Avero gets fired. Are you feeling like, oh my,
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: this could be a doomed season? Or do you not get...
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: too low either when things get like this?
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: You know, I, I try to stay even kill us
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: as they say, but I mean, I think the hardest
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: thing for the Panthers, in my opinion, has just been
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: like so many injuries. I mean, it's the season kind
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: of started that way.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: And so it's great. People come back. Like we were
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: so excited for Moten to come back and then Unfortunately,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: he had a season-ending injury, and so those are the
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: things that we always talk about. Like, you just can't predict,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: but I... You know, I was driving by Dilworth Neighborhood Grill,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: and I don't know if you've seen their latest sign,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: but it's like 7 and 10 gets us in. Like,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: keep saying it, keep drinking or.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Something like that. 7 and 10 gets us in.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Why is that not a chant we've done here?
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying, even they found a way to make
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: it positive this week.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: It is the NFC South, Bo. Like, we've got to
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: keep reminding us.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: God's division, there's always a chance. A little prayer. Some
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Sunday help along the way, and you never know what
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: may happen. Someone said, Astro, she likes Fat Mac. Is
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: that a Finney joke?
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: That's cold. That's Dr. Suave. That's cold, man. I don't
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: know what Fat Mac is. I thought it was a
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: joke about one of us.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: You've never had Fat Mac?
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Never had Fat Mac.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: I've never had Fat Mac either. I've been called that before.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: What exactly is Fat Mac?
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: It literally.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: fat taken from the back.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: Of a pig right so that sounds good i really
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: love fat i'm not gonna lie to you i do

  Speaker 3: just like but all the taste is in that fat
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: all the juice is in that fat.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: I'm going to have to Google what it is.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: I just had a conversation with someone about that, and
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: I don't like the fat on my steak. I just don't.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: I don't want to chew it for the next seven minutes.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's part of it. I think the texture... Like Mrs.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: Mac tells me the texture kind of like in her
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: mouth kind of grosses her out.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Like, but I don't know, man. It's so tasty. I'll
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: be laughing over there. What are you getting?
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: Finnegan immature. Oh, my gosh.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Here goes throw segment. Reel it in. Reel it in.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Her mom's listening here. Everyone act normal.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: Oh, my gosh. This dude said Mac and Bone's southern
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: cards that they worked so hard to achieve are gone
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: because they haven't had fat back. Give me some damn.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Fat back right now. I want it.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: I'm asking for it, man. Give me my card back.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: That liver mush stuff I still don't want to eat.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: You like liver mush strokes?
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: No, that's not my thing. No.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Not my jam either.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: There's some things I can't do, but, you know, look,
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: I will say this. I'm a pretty good sport in
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: that when it comes to, like, most food, I'll try
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: about anything once, but that doesn't mean I need to
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: go back. And also, you know, I've done a lot
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: of traveling, so I've been fortunate to try, you know,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: different dishes from different places, and I think that's I
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: like food. That's fun. Why not? Try a little bit
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: of everything.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: I've got a question about fatback, though.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: I don't eat it, so I'm probably not going to
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: be the right person to answer.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: Is fatback literally its own, like, what is it, a side?
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Is it literally its own dish, just fat? My dad
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: would make it and have, like, sauerkraut with it.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: So, like, he would make other stuff with it, but
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: I do think it's typically eaten as a side, yes. Man,
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: fat as a side. I never knew this was an option.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: 704 Bone says, my arteries are clogging just listening to
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: this show.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: I think we have a texture named Fatback.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: There was a crew chief, Fatback McSwain.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: What?
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: Was the crew chief for Ricky Rudd at one point?
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: You remember him, Stroh, or is that too far ago?
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: It might be too far for me.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Big old Fatback McSwain.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: I'm typing it in Google. I guarantee you Smoke could
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: tell you the whole resume for Fatback McSwain.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. If you just saw this guy's face,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: this guy's probably named Fatback.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: He's appropriately nicknamed. There's stuff down about it.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: He got in a fight with somebody at one point.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: He got fired after fighting somebody.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. There he is.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Michael Fatback McSwain. Oh, he threatened to beat up Kevin Harvick.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: He is. Yeah, that just popped up for me. I'm
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: not going to say what the headline says, but threatened to,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: you know, kind of get into it with Harvick there.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: After he spun Ricky. Yeah, there you go.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: There it is. Didn't a lot of people threaten to
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: beat up Kevin Harvick back in the day?
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Fatback retired after threatening to beat up Kevin Harvick.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: He said, I'm out.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: I'm done now.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Stroh.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: Went to the Fatback Ranch. Stroh, what do you think
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: about the Hornets? We're starting to get, and I'm trying
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: to urge people like, Hey, Kobe came back last night,
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: but it was a minute's restriction. He only played 16 minutes.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: Khan is not back yet. Grant Williams is not back yet.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: People are getting very unnerved watching the offense really struggle,
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: and then... You know what I mean? As we go,
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: you know, now two games under 500, lost four in
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: a row. People can't help on the text line to
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: bring up, see, we have declined way too much post-Lomelo.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: How do you feel about, what would you say to
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: fans about that?
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Well, I think you hit on some of the stuff
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: that I've been saying or that I would say is that,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: you started the season without Kobe, without Khan, without Grant.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: And I know everyone was excited. Okay, Kobe's back. What's
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: that going to look like? And then he was on
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: a minutes restriction. And I just think it's so hard
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: when you go the whole offseason and you– Obviously, you
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: need depth and you've got to have a good bench
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: because we just don't know when things like this are
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: going to happen. But I think you don't even fully
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: know what the product is supposed to be or going
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: to be when everyone is healthy. And you're missing Khan,
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: who was knocking down every shot last year and helping
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: facilitate a lot on offense. And so I think until
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: you get Khan back out there and Kobe back out there,
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: you don't have a great idea of what this team
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: is supposed to look like this season with, with the
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: five starters and the rotation.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: We got to be patient. We got to be patient
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: with this a little bit. We knew we would, I
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: think bone logic would say, we knew we would decline.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: I think, I think people have bone taken it out
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: on us because we were around 40 wins, but so
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: was Vegas. Like, and we were not, and by the way,
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: we were not anticipating not having these guys for this long.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: During the offseason. Yeah, I thought a couple games at
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: most for Khan, and now, hell, I thought Khan might
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: be back at the end of last week, and we're
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: still waiting for Khan. I was shocked Kobe came back
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: before that. When he got recalled up from Greensboro, I thought, oh,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: he's a day away. Yeah, I thought that was the story.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Because that's normally the routine, and he's still not there.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: So I'm about to donate my hamstring to the Kaustro.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: I got the wedding. Okay.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: If you look across the league, I mean, so many–
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: star players for different teams are, are dealing with a
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: hamstring or sitting out because of this or that. And
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: so I, I think it's actually something very interesting, just
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: league wide that I want to someone to do a
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: study on or take a deep dive into is how
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: are all these, you know, soft tissue injuries happening and why,
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: and to start a season. Like I just, I think
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: that's been very interesting this year. And, and obviously, I mean,
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: it's an 82 game regular season and, and, and you
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: have your camp and all that. But I'm just, I
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: think it's been very interesting to see the guys that
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: are already missing time for their team. And I also
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: think you don't want someone to rush back because I
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: think Tyrese Halliburton is a good example of that playing,
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: you know, when he tried to come back and win
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: a championship a couple of seasons ago and he played
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: through it, but ultimately his, you know, he ended up
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: with an Achilles. And so you have to take take
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: the time to rehab these things correctly to last for
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: how long the NBA season is.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: No doubt. No doubt.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: All right, Stroh, I don't know what we accomplished, but
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: I'm very intrigued by Fatback. We learned a lot about
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: the menu at Mama Stroh's.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: They're calling you Fatback McClain now.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: Fatback McSwain, Fatback McClain, I see you. I'll go with it.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: What the hell?
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: All right, Stroh, it was a great appearance. Send our
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: hellos to Mama Stroh, and we'll talk to you next week.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, appreciate you guys. I'm going to go enjoy these
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: biscuits and gravy.
