  Speaker 1: Oh there it is. Back to the Mack and Bone Show.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Keyword monster. Text it into seven oh four five seven
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: nine six ten for your chance to win a family
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: four packed the Monster Jam July eighteenth and nineteenth. Again,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: that's keyword monster m o n s t e r
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: to seven O four five seven nine six ten.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: All right, there you go.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: I didn't want to spell monster because that's a the
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: cheese to cheese and it's a former TV character. But
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: it's monster m O n s t e r. There
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: we go, now, monster, not Herman Munster. I'm let me
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: sure I got that right there. We found out from
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Jake Weinbach, NBA reporter on Friday. His sources are saying
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: that the Celtics wanted Brandon Miller and three first rounders
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: for Jalen Brown before he went to Philadelphia. So we're
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: gonna ask, now, Fitty, right call, wrong call? Do you
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: agree with the Hornets turning that down? Or do you say, oh,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Brandon Miller, three first rounders, you pair that with Con
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: and Kobe and nas reed? Would that be worth it
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: for Jalen Brown? We'll go to you first. What do
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: you think about that? I fully admit I'm rather torn
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: on that one. That's close to me right there on
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: that one.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll maintain what I've said all off season long,
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: ever since they made the LaMelo Ball trade and we
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: thought they were gearing up for a trade of a
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: player the caliber of Jaylen Brown, I wasn't interested in
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: trading away Brandon Miller to get him here. That'd be
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: three starters gone from last year's team.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: It would be Miller, Ball, and Bridges.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: If it was just picks, that's why you acquire them.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: If it was nas Reid, because there was a lot
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: of people believing that the Hornets acquired nas Reed to
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: move naz Reed in a future deal, then I would
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: have maybe moved nas Reed to get Jaylen Brown here.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: But I think I think Bone this year is gearing
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: up for them to get their evaluation on what they
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: think Brandon Miller can be, which is why this this
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: latest injury that's going to take away time from him
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: in the weight room, in the gym, is going to
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: hurt him. But I think they showed up with a
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: predetermined evaluation of Lamela. At some point they wanted to
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: move him, they moved him. I think this this grass
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: is now on to Brandon Miller, but I would not
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: have moved him to get Jaylen Brown here.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I understand the reasons why you wouldn't, but I think
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: I probably would have definitely nas Reed. I like nas
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: but if it was him involved in the picks, that
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: I would have done that. If was that possible, I
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: don't know, But if it was nos Reed in the picks,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: no doubt I would have done that because you can't
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: value nas Reed despite our liking nas Red over Jalen Brown.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I think I would have traded Brandon Miller and a
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: couple of first rounders like as reported, maybe three, because
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: ultimately Jalen Brown's name has kind of been sullied a
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: little bit here and I think we forget. Look, he
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: may be difficult, I don't know, but the dude did
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: average twenty nine a game last year. He's won a championship.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: He helped keep the Celtics alive last year with dal
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Jason Tatum. Are you ultimately hoping that Brandon Miller gets
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: to a level where he's good as Jalen Brown, Like
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: you're you're keeping Brandon Miller hoping, not saying they're the
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: same as that player, but you're hoping Brandon Miller ends
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: up a multi time All Star champion on a success
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: level of Jalen Brown. You're telling me that Kobe White
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: con Jalen Brown, nas Reed and all this collection of
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: role players wouldn't be a really good team. You're hoping
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Brandon Miller takes that next level that Jalen Brown is
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: already at. So I probably would have included Brandon Miller
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: a deal like that.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a fair point, because for all the faults
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: that I find in Jalen Brown's game, you're talking about,
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: at worst a top fifteen back end top twenty player
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: in the NBA. They're talking about a former Eastern Conference
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: Finals MVP, former NBA Finals MVP. I wonder how much
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: of some of the stuff off the court maybe impacted
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: their interest in trading for him.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: You got a winning pedigree, and the Charles Lee factor
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: here is fascinating. Did he did he push for Jalen Brown?
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Is he on the side of I've been there with him?
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: I wonder what Charles Lee ultimately felt about Jalen Brown.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: We don't know.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Does he love Jalen Brown? Same thing could be said
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: for Holiday by the way here at some point, But yeah,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I just it's hard for me to
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: not look at Jalen Brown, always accomplished in that winning pedigree.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Now put them here with the other good We're looking
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: for a star, right, we said earlier they have a
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: bunch of role guys and they have four good players,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: and they're hoping that Brandon Miller becomes great and hopefully
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Condell on the way.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: But Jalen Brown is already great.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: So why would you not want to surround all these
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: role guys Kobe and God with a guy that you
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: already know who he is.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: It's it's it's a fair point.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: For whatever reason, Jeff Peterson has not felt the necessary
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: pressure to make the move, and I think that's the
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: That's the interesting thing when you look at that Jeff
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: Peterson continues to run this organization.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: Bone is he keeps talking about not.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: Wanting to skip steps in the process once to stay
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: true to the process. Which is why, like I've I've
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: kind of maintained this opinion that what happened to this
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: team January first, on where they were, you know, the
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: one of the best teams in the NBA record wise,
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: one of the best teams in the NBA from an
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: efficiency perspective did not sway his opinion on what he
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: wanted to do. He had to publicly say the right
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: things at the trade deadline. This group has earned the
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: right to seek this thing through and all that meant
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: for the next twenty five to thirty games. I think
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: the timing of the trades are what really confusing. When
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: you look at the LaMelo trade, why was that trade
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: not done before or during the first round of the
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: NBA Draft, Because when we came back.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: After its free agency started that right because you moved,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: you moved at an odd time when you could have
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: done it earlier or he could have waited right well,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: because when we.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: Came back on the first round was on a Tuesday.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: This year, when we came back on a Wednesday, those
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: were all moves Like you look at the Steinbach addition,
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: you look at the Christian Anderson edition. Those were two
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: moves I thought to bolster where the roster was currently at.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: You add another big, a rebounding freak that is gonna
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: eat up on both ends of the glass offensive defensive rebounds.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: You put another shooter, and Christian Anderson what he can
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: do from behind the three point line on the floor.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: It looked like they were building to that established core
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: that they that they that they were able to see
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: really play at a high level the last twenty five
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: thirty games of the regular season, and as we got
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: to the final night of the NBA Draft and early
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: the next morning, we knew the We knew the LaMelo
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: ball was on the way out. So if you were
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: gonna move LaMelo, if you were gonna move off of him,
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: wouldn't you wanted to try to move him and get
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: a high level guard? Because we heard Peterson talk about
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: in the pre draft process he loved the guards, and
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: I'm assuming loved Christian Anderson. But if you were telling
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: this fan base you're trade LaMelo ball, they would have
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: loved to see a Darius, a Cuff, of Flemings, a Woggler,
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: one of those dudes drafted inside the top ten as
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: opposed to Hanna Steibock at fourteen Christian Anderson at the two.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: I think part of the problem was they may have tried.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: I don't think those teams in the top ten wanted
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: to move off even for LaMelo when the salary, so
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: the Clippers they wanted Woggler, the Kings wanted a Cuff.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: They all Mikel Brown to the nets, they all, they
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: all kind of wanted their own guy, right, So did
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: they fitty? Did they try to call and no one
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: wanted to move because they just wanted their I don't know.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: Maybe if that's the case of Bone, that's a pretty
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: that's a pretty damn indictment of what the league thinks
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: of LaMelo Ball.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: And maybe that's maybe that's it. Maybe maybe we valued
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: him more here than they did around the league, and
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: that's why what.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: You're talking about a guy that's been a former All
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: Star and was a borderline All NBA.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: But look what they got back for him.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Also, I'm not I'm saying like volue him here, but
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: he only got NAS read back. So was that ultimately
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: what because of the it's got to be because of
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: the the injury concerns, that has to be it. That
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: has to be that teams didn't want to give up
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: in the top ten their own premiere guard and then
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: trade from Mellow and he goes out, you know, ten
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: games in.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: But that's my guess.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: At least we know what LaMelo Ball is when he's healthy.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: We have no idea how a cuff woggler. Michael Brown junior.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: How these guys are going to translate to the NBA level.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: I expect they're all going to translate and translate just fine.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: But if if the Hornets called either any of those
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: teams and offered him and they all would rather draft
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: an unproven rookie coming out of college, well I think
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: that's a pretty damn It wasn't just because of Mellow's salary.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: It would have to be a lot more than just trading.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: It'd have to be a lot of And that's probably
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: why he didn't move for just you.
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: Know, you're not You're not wrong. I'm just saying to.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Match it up, and that might be part of the
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: part of the deal of why they didn't do it
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: on Draft night.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: I think the feeling that I get, and this is
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: what led me to send the tweet out, which got
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: Terence Oglesby to respond to it after we had them
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: on right as the trade was announced. I just never
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: felt like Peterson got fair value for him, Like I
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: don't know if he exhausted every possible trade possibility to
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: trade LaMelo Ball and maybe he didn't care.
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: Maybe he saw the three pick swaps.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: He got the first unprotected along with Das reed and
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: felt like that was adequate enough, just so he could
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: move on from him and continue to build out this roster.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: But look at what mckel bridges went for. Five first
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: round picks, so go with some other guys that maybe
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: aren't the the star caliber player that LaMelo is, and
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: those teams got more back in return than what Peterson has,
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: which is why I do think it's we haven't really
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: questioned his motive and what he's been doing since he
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: showed up. Look at you look at that decision there,
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: and in my opinion, the lack of return they got
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: for a guy that was a borderline All NBA player
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: this past year, it really does make you wonder what
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: his end goals with his roster.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: You know, you also wonder what what did what do
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: they know about Wamelow's health that we don't know? What
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: did the trading staff eventually tell Peterson? Do you know
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: they could have said, look, he played all this year,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: but maybe they said he's a taken time bomb on
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: the ankles. We I'm just throwing stuff out. I have
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: no idea. I'm just trying to get inside the mind
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: of maybe why they did it. When they did it,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: I will say, right now it's an odd roster filled
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: with a ton of bodies, a ton of role guys.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: It's Christian Anderson, Pat Conaton, Moosa, Sion Kalkbrenner, Trey Mann
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: McNeely t, John Salon, Steinbach, Grant Williams, Dorian Finney's, Grayson Allen,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: and Royce O'Neill. I didn't name the you know, the
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: star player, but that that is a ton of bod
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: There's no way all these guys are sticking around here, right,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: There's no way.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: That's way too many guys.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: And they're all guys that are all right, that can play,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: but you're not gonna play all these like between the
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: young guys and the guys they got from Phoenix and
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Dorian Finney Smith, Like, where how are all these guys
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: gonna be.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: In a rotation?
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: That's they can't. They can't. I mean how Tjon's even in?
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: They are?
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, is he gonna be like what how is
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: that roster gonna work? That's like fifteen dudes that all
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: can play some minutes.
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: I know.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: Jake Fisher said last week he doesn't know what more
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: the Hornets can do. You move some guys off of this,
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: they may not make the move that we thought they
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: were setting themselves up to make when they traded away
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: lamel Loow and got the the forty million dollar trade exception,
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: the largest in the history of the NBA. But you're
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: not wrong, Bone, There's still more work than has to
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: be done to this roster, just in terms of getting
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: rid of guys that all do the same thing. Like
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: right now, there isn't Is there a lot of versatility
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: to this roster? Is there a lot of flexibility to
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: this roster? You got a bunch of dudes that kind
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: of all do the same thing.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: You've got Grant Williams, You've got Royce O'Neill, You've got
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Dorian Finney Smith. How many power forward do you need here?
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: That's not even County nas Reed, who's a level above.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: But like, what why why did you need? Why'd you
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: need Dorian Finney Smith and Royce O'Neill. Now, I'm not
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: saying that they're not gonna move on, but are they
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: just collecting as many people as possible to do something?
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: But what are they gonna do? I don't even I
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: don't know, man, I've got harburn and headache right now
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: for this.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: Well, because you know, Jalen Brown's coming gone. Uh, Jannis
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: has has come and gone. I don't think they're making
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: them move to bring Kevin Durant here.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: I don't think so. Like they also, they got to
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: use it.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: They got to use the trade exception by when the
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: trade deadline isn't that is that when that expires?
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's by next summer, right, it's a year, right summer.
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: But I.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: It's tough to tell because you don't know who's gonna
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: pop open. Like in terms of the tradable guys. Did
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: you see the other day where the report came out
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: that the Knicks were interested in Musa before they signed
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Andre Drummond.
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: I saw that, and.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: Let's just say that I'm glad that the Knicks went
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: the route that they went because there was gonna be
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: an angry mac about the bing bongs taken away Musa.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Well, not only that, but the health and mental stability
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: of Walker Mayo would be Let's be honest, it's you
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Takemosa out of here.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: He made up with padded walls.
• 14:37
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: The movie Obsession was actually written off of a local
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: radio host obsession with the undersized power forwards ability to
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: rebound the basketball that was the original plot.
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: They just couldn't sell.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: The way they sold it, with a guy getting a
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: wish for a girl and ak of machines up stalking him.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Fitty.
• 14:53

  Speaker 1: great Bill Bender of Sporting News, but it failed on
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: our end with the phones. But we're going to try
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: it again here in a reminder, the Sporting News College
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Football Preview Magazine back out on newsstands first time in
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: fourteen years. You can get the Sporting News right there
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: in your hands like I have right here. Something just
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: feels right, Fitty about not only the preview magazines, but
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: when you get one right there in your hands like
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: the Sporting.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: News magazine seasons one of the best things as a
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: college football fan. Good to see the Sporting News back
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: on the newstands. It'll be one that I will add
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: to my collection, which I'll begin adding or collecting this week.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: And one of the biggest reasons why we love the
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Sporting News magazine. Here, Bill Bender, college football writer for
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: a long time love Sporting News, joins us now in
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: the Mack and Bone. Joe, Bill, thanks for adjusting and
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: coming back on this week.
• 16:29
  Speaker 6: Well, first, I feel super old now that you said
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: fourteen years, and I've been at Sporting News long enough
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: that I remember when we stopped doing it. Now we
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: have it back. I think you said it the big
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: yellow cover we have on it. It was a lot
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: of fun to put together and the analysis. Like you
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: guys both said, I just like having something you know
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: that you can read in your hand. You know, my
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: kid don't know the concept of that maybe with the magazine,
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: but I sure do.
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: And uh, it's a lot of fun.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I weren't.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: I learned how to read by reading the sports section,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: so I kind I kind of just missed the stuff
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: that you can just read right there in front of yourself,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Bill in this edition. I'm not blaming you for this,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: but Sporting News projects the game Cocks twelfth in the SEC.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: What do you think about the game Cocks entering the
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: season and how much pressure is truly on Jaye Bieber
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: this year to not finish twelfth in the SEC?
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: Well, I mean, the it's a there's a lot of
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: really good teams in the SEC. I think that's the
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: conference when we get into comparing conferences, they're the one
• 17:37
  Speaker 6: that has the most teams that could make the playoffs
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: in terms of programs that you're like, man, that's playoff
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: caliber team. And uh, you know South Carolina's it was
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: a rough year last year. You're looking for hopefully a
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: bounce back season from Leonoris and then you go from there.
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: But I mean, it's just a tough weekend, week out
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: schedule when you play in that conference, and for South Carolina,
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: guess they're going to need to see some growth. I'm
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: looking at predictions now as you can predict. Obviously, I
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: did the Big Ten previews, so I'm not, you know,
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: throwing somebody under the bus. I just want to make
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: sure I know what I'm looking at here.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Well, don't. We don't throw people under the
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: bus on our radio show either. They're not our co workers.
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: Bill.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: As far as Clemson goes, we'll stay the Palmetto State.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: What do you think the biggest reason there's been for
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: the the dip? I mean, I'm not saying they're they're
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: way under, but they're under for who they expect to be.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Why do you think that is? And is there a
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: path out of this or is this just kind of
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: who Clemson is right now?
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: Well?
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: I think some of it was. You went on a
• 18:44
  Speaker 6: run at Clemson a quarterback play when it went from
• 18:49
  Speaker 6: you know, Taj Boyd a record center, to Deshaun Watson
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: who had an unbelievable college career, to Trevor Lawrence No.
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: And they went on this run of quarterbacks and never
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: since you went to dj U to kid Clubnick, and
• 19:03
  Speaker 6: now there's a question market quarterback. I've always kind of
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: openly wondered, where's that firepower at receiver? You know, I
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: went to the National Championship game against Alabama where they
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: won forty four to sixteen, and they couldn't.
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: Be stopped throwing the ball.
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: And you know, so it's not like they're bad, but
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: coming off last year when we had them in the
• 19:25
  Speaker 6: top ten, even in the top five I think in
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: the preseason, and then they had a disappointing seven and
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: six year. There's a little bit answer for there, But
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: I'm not one of those fire Dabo guys. I just
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: don't get into that conversation because I still think outside
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: Indiana last year, what they've been able to do there
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: under his tenure is one of the most remarkable stories,
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: at least in my lifetime.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, my take has been I don't really think that
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Dabbo is going to be fired. If Dabbo got you know,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: is not he namored with the game. We certainly see
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: a lot of coaches in college sports the sport, I
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: think that would be more of Dabo's way out. As
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: far as the teams in the state of North Carolina,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: NC State gets their star quarterback back at CJ. Bailey,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: what's your expectation of the pack here in twenty.
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: Six, Well, I mean, you know, can they take that
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: next step? Obviously, you know, as we were putting quarterback
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: ratings together and started taking a closer look at CJ.
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: Bailey and then you're.
• 20:23
  Speaker 6: Like, wow, he pulled up to feel pretty well, Hey,
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: that pddn T ratio is better than what I thought
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: it was. He played well against ranked team, So you know,
• 20:35
  Speaker 6: can they build on last year? And you know that
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: program you've become accustomed to, seven to nine wins is
• 20:42
  Speaker 6: pretty given, you know, Dave dorn I looked this up
• 20:46
  Speaker 6: when we were talking about expanding the playoffs. Had we
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: been in a twenty fourteen playoff the last twelve years,
• 20:53
  Speaker 6: they would have been in the playoff six times.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Wow, like Iowa.
• 20:57
  Speaker 6: They're kind of like Iowa up here in Big ten
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: country where you d takes the eight to nine wins
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: for granted, even if you know they've had some ordinary
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: seasons along the way. But I just think that's a
• 21:07
  Speaker 6: tribute to what Dave dorin at the steady amount of
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: success they've been able to have under him.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: The team not far from the from the pack is Duke.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: And then the first two years of many DZ. Even
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: as a Duke fan, I thought, year one, with all
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: they lost, including Elko at the ol Man, that's gonna
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: be tough for him to try to sustain what Elko did.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: And then year one he goes out and he crushes it.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: Year two, I thought, oh man, how are they gonna
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: how are they going to live up to what he did?
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: Year one? They go out and do it again.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: What's your take on Duke here year three, many, Daz,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: do we underestimate him again? Or is this is this
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: a year where the roster attrition, losing Mensa and markate
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: where Duke might fall off a little bit here?
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: Well, I mean losing Mensa.
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: Obviously, when we had our back in January, we did
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: the way way too early top you know, the ridiculous
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: early top twenty five whatever it was. And I'm doing
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: that during the National Championship game, and I had Duke
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: in the top twenty five, and then Mensa leaves and
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: then you kind.
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: Of drop them out.
• 22:09
  Speaker 6: That's not to say that Manny Diaz can't coach his
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: team up. He is in an outstanding football coach. I
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: like Shephard a lot. The running back. He's explosive. Can
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: you rely on him? And then again, just can they
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: build on the expectations from last year? I mean they
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: wore the surprise ACC champion. You look at their schedule
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: a little bit. North Carolina and Clemson are at home.
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: Stanford's at home. Toughest road games probably you know, obviously
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: Miami and then a Friday night game at Virginia. So
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: it'll be a fun schedule. Interested to see how they
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: do it Illinois. Early in the season too.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: There was a path for Duke when you were doing
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: that top twenty five where the way the acc plays
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: out in the projection after Miami, you could have made
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: the case that Duke may have been the second best
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: team if they got Mensa, Bark and Shepherd all together.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: That team was a you know, border wide playoff team
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: on offense. So uh, that's just the way the world
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: of college football, though, what you think you have, you know,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: a couple of days later, you don't the last team
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: on in that area. Unc Are you do you see
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: any hope here under Belichick? Or is this saying just
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: ultimately end up in a big disaster. What's your what's
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: your feel for Belichick year two and ultimately where this
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: thing is headed?
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: Jess Klie makes the pieces fit, I mean, and that's
• 23:29
  Speaker 6: probably there will be significantly less hype around that team.
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: You know, we don't remember the Labor Day game last year.
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: I mean it was I mean, they had like three
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: hour coverage beforehand, and yeah, they you can defend that
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: we were all super interested in that. So, you know me,
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: can they get back to five hundreds? Can they get
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: to a bull game? They were close in some games,
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: they did get better at the end of the season.
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: It just wasn't you know what maybe he expected.
• 23:58
  Speaker 6: So another team will see how the roster piece has
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: fit a lot of portal editions, and we'll see if
• 24:04
  Speaker 6: it's a I don't know if it's possible that there's
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: going to be less tabloid feel around the team this
• 24:10
  Speaker 6: year than there was last year.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: Bill Bender with us on the Mack and Boat Show,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: sportingnewsporting news dot Com, the Preview magazine wherever books and
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: magazines are sold, make sure you get your copy right now.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: Who's a couple of group of five teams to keep
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: your eye on this year as potential playoff teams? We
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: always get into it as the season goes along. But
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: who you looking at right now as teams that can
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: make the playoffs?
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: I mean Boise State. I mean that's such a pop
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: out answer, right that? So we love good, good job.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: That's like saying Zaga and basketball, right, yeah.
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Gonzaga would be good this year.
• 24:47
  Speaker 6: Boise State in the Pac twelve though, that's the interesting part.
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: You know, the PAC twelve is back sort of. They've
• 24:54
  Speaker 6: got eight teams. The Mountain West Conference has eight teams,
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: and I like at North Dakota, you know, I'm really
• 25:00
  Speaker 6: interested to see how North Dakota State Dutch, this team
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: that's coming up from we know they're an SDS powerhouse,
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: they got the Fargo Dome.
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: Do they make that jump.
• 25:09
  Speaker 6: We've seen programs like APP and you know my Way
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: Youngstown State moved up, you know, and those kinds of things,
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: So we'll see. I guess Youngtown State didn't move up,
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: but APP did and Marshall that's the one, you know,
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: and then they have immediate success. Saved myself from being
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: get a correction there. But I want to see how
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: North Dakota State Dutch. Can they make the immediate adjustment
• 25:33
  Speaker 6: and you know they're eligible for a bull so they
• 25:36
  Speaker 6: can make the playoff. James Madison be another example. They
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: made a quick jump and they just made the playoff
• 25:41
  Speaker 6: last year.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: Very interesting.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: What do you think about We're getting some ask bender
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: questions here on the on the text line, here are
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: you buying into the hype year one? James Franklin that
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: Virginia Tech sort of.
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: And I'll hedge it this way. I think he fits
• 25:59
  Speaker 6: there and he'll be able to recruit there.
• 26:01
  Speaker 7: One of the things, and Ceazy think about that when
• 26:05
  Speaker 7: there was a time that you and I experienced there
• 26:08
  Speaker 7: in the early two thousands where Virginia Tech was a
• 26:11
  Speaker 7: more notable program than Penn State was.
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: Like late the turnover, they started the struggle a little bit.
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: Virginia Tech coming off the vic Era, they were game
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: Day Central. I mean game Day loved going to Blacksburg.
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: I think he'll recruit well there. For all of the
• 26:28
  Speaker 6: talk about how he lost top ten showdowns at Penn State,
• 26:32
  Speaker 6: which he did basically couldn't be at Ohio State, Penn
• 26:34
  Speaker 6: or Michigan. He did recruit Michael Parsons, he did recruit
• 26:38
  Speaker 6: safe one, Barclay and several others, So he can do
• 26:41
  Speaker 6: that at Virginia Tech'll over by them, and I think
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: they could be a borderline top twenty five team that
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: has some success this year.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: How do you think on the reverse, how do you
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: think you mentioned covering the Big ten? How do you
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: think Matt Campbell does that Penn State.
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: I'm sure Mac on his cruise wants to know that.
• 27:00
  Speaker 6: I'm very shy on Penn State this year, So you
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: got to tell him.
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: I said that when I was back.
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: I've because partially because I like Matt Campbell a lot
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: culture builder. The fact that so many guys from Iowa
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: State transferred there shows they still want to play for him.
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: And then two, their schedules pretty friendly. As mac is
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: probably mentioned. They do not play Oregon, Indiana or penns
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: or Ohio State. And they get Michigan on the road,
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: that'll be tough. I'll play UFC at home. They could
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: be one of those teams in November that you're like,
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: well they're eight one, but they haven't played anybody, you know,
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: the Classic do they deserve to be in? But I
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: think Matt Campbell will do a nice job there.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Bill, you're doing a nice job as well against Sporting
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: News magazine out now, Bill, give us your info and
• 27:48

• 28:58
  Speaker 1: One of the uh, one of the nicer gentleman I
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: believe Fitty that we talked to one of.
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, one of the nicest dudes I've I've followed his work.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: I mean I remember reading him back when I was
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: in high school, which I didn't want that to be known, Divina,
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: I'd probably age him.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: But you used to attend a mac and bone, uh
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: trivia nights at Braswells. Really, yeah, when he used to
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: be we used to live here, yeah, yeah, Oh we
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: had a lot of We had a lot of big
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: names Eric Braswells.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: I mean the who's who of people.
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: When I when I was going to trivia night, it
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: was myself, mfg. That's how I met Mark from Gastonian
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: was at a trivia night and the table that we
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: fought the most was the Mildcats.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: I remember Jimmy Johnson showed up one night h NASCAR's
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Jimmy Johnson. Accidentally, he wasn't like he was there for us,
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: and I didn't want to bother him and make it
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: known that he was there sitting in the middle of
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: the bar area. So I changed a question too, because
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: this is like the week after he won number seven.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: I said, what NASCAR driver recently won championship number seven?
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: And then everyone turned around to look at and he
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: left it.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: He spent out of the parking lot like one hundred
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: and twenty miles an hour because he's Jimmie Johnson right there,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: you go, Yeah, that's a boy.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: Did anyone care about these stories? Sort just us?
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: I mean I always enjoy going down memoryly and I
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: had a lot of fun times at UH at Tribune.
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: I remember one time you're talking about your your poor service.
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: I won't name the restaurant we were at, but MFG
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: called the restaurant because they did not brought him his
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: wings that he has just ordered ten minutes ago.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: He did that Hickory Tavern. Also he called the front
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: desk looking for his Jacken tenders or wings.
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: He would call asking for refills. It was.
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: It was always a fun time with MFG. And maybe
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: that's something we need to bring back as the station.
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: It's been ten years since we did trivia. Do we
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: uh have one more update here?
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: For we certainly do.
• 30:49
  Speaker 8: Do it City.
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: I want to tell you bone this update is brought
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: to you by h and S Roofing and Gutter Company.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: If something doesn't look row with your roof for your gutters,
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: do not wait for a small problem to become a
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: big one. Called h and S Roofing and Gutter Company
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: for a free estimate seven zero four three three four
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: nine nine three four. That is seven zero four three
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: three four nine nine three four seven zero four three three.
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: Four nine to nine three four.
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: With Mac out of the way, I can finally do
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: my tennis updates that I want to do because I
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: know you are one that appreciates Wimbledon. The All England
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: Club didn't want to send a shout out to my
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: guy Novak Djokovic. He won yesterday, making his way to
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: the quarterfinals of the twenty twenty six Championships, and in
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: the process bone became the winningest match player at the
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: All England Club on the men's.
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: Side, surpassing Roger Federer.
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: Federer won one hundred and five matches all time at Wimbledon.
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: Yesterday Novak Djokovic one is one hundred and ninth or
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: one hundred and six. The record is one hundred and nine.
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: That's held by I believe Martina Navatalova on the women's side.
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: But Djokovic last night took a step closer to history
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: getting his one hundred and six to win at Wimbledon, and.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: Tomorrow he takes on augur out o't ask me, all
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: asked me, who's effity there?
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: The all asked me.
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not gonna try to help you with that name.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: I feel like Djokovic should win his quarterfinal match up
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: to set up a showdown with him and the number
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: one overall seed, Yannick Center in the semis.
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: I do think though, that's where his story ends.
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: I do think Janick Center will defeat him because I
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: think Center is gonna win Wimbledon.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: If you're expecting me to get these names right, I
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: don't know. This is like the Illinois basketball starting five here.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: What I'm not even being crass?
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: Here? Is there a guy named Bublick?
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: I believe that's correct?
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: Like, what, like, what are we doing? We need some
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: Americans up in this piece. Well, you have Fritz, he's
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: taking on Bubleck. They could maybe get another win.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: Maybe what happened to it?
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: What happened in my time when we had Connors, McEnroe,
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: Agacy Samprius, Michael Chang, Yvon Lendall names I could say.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: I can't say any of these names.
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: I was pretty impressive.
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah you have Fritz, you have Tiafo, Tiafa got beat
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: over the weekend, Ben Shelton. Those are right now the
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: three best Americans going. But I mean when when Sinner's
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: not doing drugs, he's the best player in the world,
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: And when Carlos Alcarez is healthy, he's right up there
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: is the.
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: Second best player in the world.
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: Maybe the Americans can break through at the US Open,
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: but I don't see one taking taking home the crown
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: at Wimbledon.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: All right, we come back. It's the wrap up. Get
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: you set for another potentially chaotic day in the world,
• 33:57

  Speaker 1: I'm sure exactly how many people he may have ran
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: their feet over over the ear we know of won,
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: but it could be many.
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, It's like the episode of the Office when Michael
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: Scott hits Meredith when he's running into when he's pulling
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: into the parking lot and they do the sidebar in.
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: Jim wonders, he wonders how many people Michael has ran over.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: That he cleans the speed bumps.
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: How many feet have Lamila Ball ran over? It is
• 35:48

• 36:14
  Speaker 1: in Minnesota when you just you can't do it.
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: The good news is that I don't know if any
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: of his vehicles are Minnesota weatherproof, meaning I don't know.
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: I mean maybe maybe the truck could handle the snow
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: and all that. But I'm due. I'm glad that he
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: has come to his senses. You've got the money, you
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: have the means, the resources. You may like to drive.
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: You can't drive, You should not drive. Have someone drive you.

  Speaker 3: If I bone won the lottery and I was financially
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: set for the rest of my life, the first thing
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: I would buy would be a personal driver, and I
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: would never drive again. Ever, if I was going down
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: the road to McDonald's someone would drive me.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: I would I would hire a driver, and I got
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: what would you want a full time I'm like like
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: person to live with you, like an assistant, like a maid,
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: a butler.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: Would you want that? And now or do you? Yes?
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: I want someone to fold my clothes for me. I
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: think I don't like full and clothes. That's one thing.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: I I don't need someone to pick up my door
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: dash bags at the door, but the cook but I
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: need someone to full my undies.
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, or you could just do what I do, which
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: pre move bone. I hung up virtually everything that I
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: wore outside of like my socks and underwear. You put
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: yourself up outside, well, not outside, but like all of
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: my shirts on like this.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: No, no, no.
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: But since I've relocated from the Marlowe Mansion to the
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: mall Mallmobile, there's not as much closet size available. I'm
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: having to downsize. How much stuff did I hang? I
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: have so many hangers? It's unbelievable, really, Like I we
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: pulled a box up that we're just giving away of
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: hangers because there's nowhere to put them. I've got probably
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: in my closets combined, north of two hundred hangars or more.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: Geez, how do you get that many hangers? By the way,
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: this is really exciting in the audience right now, isn't it.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: She he counts as hangers?
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: What else do you want to talk about?
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: Well, we can do some text, but I didn't. I
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: didn't really keep track of that like Mac does, so
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: I've kind of uh. There is the rumor that Mac
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: is on the honeymoon with Taylor and Travis.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: Is that anything to that?
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: I would like that to be true, but he would
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: come back and want to tell stories about it, and
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: I'm not interested. Like I'm rooting for divorce, I'm rooting
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: for an up front half. No oh okay, no, not
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: for Mac, for Travis.
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: And for for Taylor.
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: I want this to end horribly although if it ends
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: horribly short, write another hate album and get even read.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: Why do you want this end? This is love, This
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: is true love.
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: I just don't care.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: That was a true love wedding the other day.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: Anytime you can have Adam, I was gonna say, Adam Schefter,
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: Adam Sandler officiating in Dean Blandino in attendance with Paul McCartney,
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: Andy Reid.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: What more do you need it away?

  Speaker 3: Do we know if Schefter was invited to the wedding
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: or did his three minute o to their wedding get
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: him canceled. He did a whole production piece about the wedding,
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: but I never saw footage of him at said wedding. Like,
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: if you're doing a whole production piece for ESPN about
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: least two getting married and then you're not getting invited,
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: you probably got to retire right, first, got.
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: To call it quits.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gotta be it. That's it. That, that is it.

  Speaker 1: Do you know how many? Do you know how many?
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: How much organizing?
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: In my clause.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: I do my closet by team, So I organized like
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: I've got like the Panther's stuff here, the Hornet stuff it.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: I do it by team. Do you know how exhausting
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: that is for me to have to organize my stuff
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: by team?
• 39:56
  Speaker 6: Oh?
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: Never about to get just down in the weeds because
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: I do it the same way I have my Carolina.
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: I don't mix it and.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: I can't mix the No, no, no, they don't hang
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: out together in the closet either. Oh you have separate closets. No,
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: I mean they don't hang in the same area of
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: the quake. They're separated.
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I go in favor and order of my favorite teams.
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: So it's I have all my Carolina stuff, then I
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: have the Panthers, the Mets, then like my miscellaneous, my FC, DASCAR,
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: all that stuff. Yea, My stuff's also color coordinated, like
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: it's the blues in one section, the whites that everything
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: is color coordinated, so I know where to find the
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: shirt that I want to wear on that particular day.
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: But when whenever you're folding laundry, it is exhausting. It's
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: my least favorite thing to do as an adult. That
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: in vacuuming can't stand.
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: I'm a big time vacuum guy, but I have hardwood
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: for it, so I don't. I don't do much.
• 40:44
