Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: All right, let's bring in Zach Gelb, who was in
- 0:02Speaker 1: the Compass studios yesterday for the national coverage and the
- 0:07Speaker 1: studio hosting that he does. He'll be back in there
- 0:10Speaker 1: for the national coverage of Giants and Washington on Sunday.
- 0:15Speaker 1: He is Zach Gelb, and he joins us here on
- 0:17Speaker 1: another Friday on the Mac and Bone Show. What's up, Gelb?
- 0:20Speaker 1: How you doing, brother?
- 0:21Speaker 2: You know, I do a ton of spots around the country.
- 0:24Speaker 2: This is definitely the most blue collar spot or so
- 0:27Speaker 2: I thought when I got a phone call today from
- 0:30Speaker 2: city and he asked me if I'm a bidet guy,
- 0:32Speaker 2: I have never been more shocked in my life in
- 0:35Speaker 2: the five years of doing this show.
- 0:37Speaker 3: Now, I just want to say this. I never had
- 0:39Speaker 3: a deal with this on Mike and the mad dog.
- 0:45Speaker 2: No bidet talk, Mikey.
- 0:49Speaker 1: I will say this. I don't want to let you down, Gelby.
- 0:51Speaker 1: I am very anti-bidet for a bro. I believe it's uppity,
- 0:56Speaker 1: and I have rebelled against it. I will say this, Bone.
- 0:59Speaker 1: Some of the bidet bros are making a strong case, though.
- 1:02Speaker 1: I've never looked at it this way before. It's also
- 1:04Speaker 1: telling of who's a bidet guy and who's not. I'm
- 1:06Speaker 1: surprised by some of these folks. I know. I know.
- 1:08Speaker 1: Just when you think you know a texter. Speaker 0 7.
- 1:11Speaker 2: I have never been more proud of you. I am
- 1:14Speaker 2: not a bidet guy as well, but I think there's
- 1:16Speaker 2: a difference. If we looked at my bum compared to
- 1:18Speaker 2: your bum, my would be clean and yours is probably dirty.
- 1:21Speaker 2: And I don't use the bidet.
- 1:22Speaker 1: Unbelievable.
- 1:23Speaker 3: What's up?
- 1:23Speaker 1: We now, we now talk talking a wipe trash right now.
- 1:27Speaker 3: I wipe better than you go. Speaking of bombs, Dallas
- 1:30Speaker 3: Cowboys last night. Speaking of dirty bum, how surprised are
- 1:36Speaker 3: you by what took place? And did they get caught
- 1:39Speaker 3: in that Thursday night trap of maybe taking an opponent lightly?
- 1:44Speaker 3: Was it a weird Thursday game? What happened to Dallas
- 1:46Speaker 3: last night? We thought they were heading a certain direction,
- 1:49Speaker 3: and last night they go backwards.
- 1:51Speaker 2: Yeah, 75% of my knockout pool got nixed last night,
- 1:55Speaker 2: me being one of them, because I looked at it
- 1:57Speaker 2: and I said, eh, short week, I don't really ever
- 2:00Speaker 2: trust the Cowboys, but you got to pick a team
- 2:02Speaker 2: that you don't love one of these weeks to end
- 2:04Speaker 2: up winning one of these survivor pools. And the way
- 2:06Speaker 2: that I looked at it last night, undrafted free agent
- 2:09Speaker 2: Jalen Daniels, I saw him play at Kansas. He was fine,
- 2:12Speaker 2: but he couldn't really stay healthy. I would have never
- 2:14Speaker 2: thought that he would basically be a hot knife along
- 2:17Speaker 2: with Bucky Irving threw butter on this Cowboys defense. And
- 2:22Speaker 2: let's be real. We heard about Matt Eberlewis last year.
- 2:25Speaker 2: He was the blame of every problem to this Cowboys defense.
- 2:27Speaker 2: They revamped this defense. This defense still stinks five games
- 2:31Speaker 2: into the season. So I don't use the short week,
- 2:34Speaker 2: Thursday night, the schedule. I know they were in Brazil
- 2:37Speaker 2: a few weeks ago and all that nonsense. You were
- 2:39Speaker 2: playing an undrafted free agent quarterback. who was making his
- 2:43Speaker 2: second career start and your improved defense couldn't even be average.
- 2:46Speaker 2: They were God awful. And it just shows you, unless
- 2:49Speaker 2: if Dak and the Cowboys offense is perfect, the Cowboys
- 2:52Speaker 2: can't win games.
- 2:54Speaker 1: No, no, they can't.
- 2:55Speaker 3: It's true.
- 2:56Speaker 1: And that was the tackling last night, to your point.
- 2:59Speaker 1: And yeah, and Dak's handling of the blitz at times
- 3:02Speaker 1: last night, too. He was not necessarily near his best.
- 3:06Speaker 1: And I enjoyed it, even though I tried rooting for
- 3:09Speaker 1: them for once, Kelby. I tried saying, OK, Cowboys, I'm
- 3:13Speaker 1: going to join you for a night. Make the Bucs 0-5.
- 3:16Speaker 1: And they couldn't pull it off.
- 3:18Speaker 2: You, you had a, you had a honestly, but Bucky
- 3:21Speaker 2: Irving looked like 50 at a buffet going through that.
- 3:24Speaker 1: Cowboys going off, bro. That's hilarious. Gelby. You had a
- 3:32Speaker 1: great tweet about the, the NFC East. and the way
- 3:37Speaker 1: it's shaping up. And you had the, you had the
- 3:39Speaker 1: GIF of Jameis. You're going to be in the studio
- 3:43Speaker 1: for the national coverage of that Giants and Washington game.
- 3:47Speaker 1: I am asking, asking a question that I did not
- 3:49Speaker 1: foresee myself asking this year. Can the Giants win the division?
- 3:55Speaker 2: I don't think so because Jamis is their quarterback. And
- 3:59Speaker 2: I do think you'll eventually see JJ McCarthy play. But man,
- 4:03Speaker 2: I'm talking to Jermaine Illuminor later today. It's having a
- 4:05Speaker 2: great season as their right tackle. And I'm going to
- 4:09Speaker 2: ask him like, Hey, where's your confidence level when it's
- 4:11Speaker 2: Tennessee east. And it's not like I look at the
- 4:13Speaker 2: giants and I'm really confident in them, but you look
- 4:15Speaker 2: at the rest of this division lane, Johnson retired early
- 4:18Speaker 2: in the week. Then they trade cam Juergens. to the
- 4:21Speaker 2: Baltimore Ravens. Jaden Daniels is one in three of the
- 4:23Speaker 2: team is one in three. They're getting him back. And
- 4:26Speaker 2: it's like, how can you trust the Cowboys after what
- 4:28Speaker 2: you saw from last night? So you know what? The
- 4:31Speaker 2: NFC South may not be the worst division in football anymore,
- 4:35Speaker 2: or at least they may have some company. because 10 wins,
- 4:38Speaker 2: wins this division, maybe nine and eight with the way
- 4:41Speaker 2: that this is going. 5.
- 4:42Speaker 1: That actually Gelby just July bulb just popped in my head. Gelby.
- 4:46Speaker 1: Could we ask the question, which division is better? Do
- 4:49Speaker 1: we have a pier now bones, especially with the Panthers?
- 4:52Speaker 2: I'll tell you though, the Carolina Panthers better win this division.
- 4:56Speaker 2: This is a mitigated disaster. If they don't win the division,
- 4:59Speaker 2: you know what? I know they lost to Cleveland two
- 5:02Speaker 2: weeks ago, but the way that they bounced back up
- 5:04Speaker 2: against Detroit, Bryce is looking like the real deal.
- 5:08Speaker 1: He was.
- 5:08Speaker 3: I was going to ask you your thoughts on not
- 5:11Speaker 3: only the Bryce performance against the Lions, but Bryce, the
- 5:15Speaker 3: national conversation now going in that positive direction about Bryce.
- 5:20Speaker 3: I mean, first take is doing MVP conversations all over
- 5:24Speaker 3: the place. What do you think about Bryce's performance and
- 5:27Speaker 3: now the chatter about how good Bryce is?
- 5:30Speaker 2: Yeah. It looks like Bryce is going to be paid
- 5:32Speaker 2: the big price. I don't know if he's a $ 60
- 5:34Speaker 2: million quarterback. Like he may get that money in the
- 5:37Speaker 2: off season. I don't know if I'll ever truly be that,
- 5:40Speaker 2: but you guys know it. If you are good in
- 5:42Speaker 2: this league, you could get paid great money. And right
- 5:46Speaker 2: now he has been really damn good. And that offense
- 5:49Speaker 2: has been the strength. And there's been some bad draft
- 5:51Speaker 2: picks through the years of the Carolina Panthers. And I
- 5:54Speaker 2: know when Ted McMillan got drafted, it was like, okay,
- 5:56Speaker 2: you're helping the young quarterback, but could they have gone elsewhere? Man,
- 5:59Speaker 2: Ted McMillan, it's nice to see him get some national
- 6:02Speaker 2: pub this week. I know he's a quiet guy. I
- 6:05Speaker 2: got a chance to interview him this past year at
- 6:07Speaker 2: the Superbowl, but this dude, all he has done has
- 6:08Speaker 2: been able to produce a on the field for the
- 6:10Speaker 2: Panthers throughout the first year and a half of his career.
- 6:13Speaker 1: No doubt about it.
- 6:13Speaker 3: No.
- 6:14Speaker 1: So, so Gelby, are you not buying? Cause I noticed
- 6:17Speaker 1: some of America have really bought in to the Falcons
- 6:21Speaker 1: to blow out wins on the road the last couple
- 6:24Speaker 1: of weeks. Are you like, are you not buying them
- 6:26Speaker 1: as a team that can contend for the division?
- 6:31Speaker 2: They're solid. They're your biggest competition. I thought it was
- 6:34Speaker 2: going to be New Orleans heading into the season. That's
- 6:36Speaker 2: not looking like to be the case right now. Tampa Bay,
- 6:39Speaker 2: I know they got a win last night and they'll
- 6:41Speaker 2: eventually get Baker back, but I'm not going to buy
- 6:43Speaker 2: into them. So Atlanta right now is your biggest competition,
- 6:46Speaker 2: but I would give the edge to the Panthers over
- 6:47Speaker 2: the Falcons.
- 6:49Speaker 3: Gelby, I know you were talking NFC East, but the
- 6:51Speaker 3: Panthers play the Eagles next week. Eagles play in London
- 6:55Speaker 3: on Sunday. They trade Juergens, the center. Lane Johnson retires.
- 7:00Speaker 3: What's your assessment of what's going on in Philly and
- 7:03Speaker 3: how big of a mess are they and could they
- 7:05Speaker 3: be by the time they play the Panthers next week? Yeah.
- 7:09Speaker 2: They have no offensive identity in their line, which used
- 7:11Speaker 2: to be such a consistent piece for them is now
- 7:13Speaker 2: a major, major question mark. There's no reason with the
- 7:16Speaker 2: way that Bryce Young is playing right now. And I
- 7:19Speaker 2: get it. The Eagle defense is a solid defense and
- 7:21Speaker 2: they got some good players, but there's no reason why
- 7:23Speaker 2: Bryce Young can't find a way to get to 21,
- 7:26Speaker 2: 24 points. And these days that's good enough to beat
- 7:29Speaker 2: the Eagles.
- 7:32Speaker 1: It is true, man. Then they may be more beat
- 7:34Speaker 1: up than us bone next week when we play, which
- 7:36Speaker 1: is crazy.
- 7:38Speaker 3: They're going to beat each other up by next week.
- 7:40Speaker 1: They're going to play that thing in a hospital.
- 7:41Speaker 2: That's the one thing that concerns me a little bit
- 7:43Speaker 2: about the Panthers. The injuries are really starting to mount up.
- 7:46Speaker 2: I know a lot of people don't like the early
- 7:47Speaker 2: bye week. It actually comes at not a bad time
- 7:50Speaker 2: with the way that the injuries are piling up.
- 7:52Speaker 1: It's been huge for us. I hated it. When we
- 7:55Speaker 1: got the schedule, I hated the early bye week. It's
- 7:58Speaker 1: so great right now. Plus, it freed us up for
- 8:00Speaker 1: bidet talk, Gelby, too. Yeah, right?
- 8:04Speaker 2: Honestly, you guys are talking bidets. I should win an
- 8:07Speaker 2: award here for the way that I'm navigating the traffic
- 8:09Speaker 2: walking the streets of New York City right now. And
- 8:11Speaker 2: anytime I'm about to be by a drill, I turn
- 8:13Speaker 2: the street to the left. A truck's coming. I go
- 8:16Speaker 2: to the right just to make sure that the background
- 8:18Speaker 2: noise isn't insufferable.
- 8:19Speaker 3: I got to tell you, you impress me more by
- 8:21Speaker 3: the week, Elby. Unbelievable.
- 8:23Speaker 1: The multitasking.
- 8:24Speaker 3: The guy can walk and talk to us. It's unbelievable.
- 8:26Speaker 1: In New York, too, walk and talk. You can fall
- 8:28Speaker 1: down a sinkhole if you ain't paying attention.
- 8:31Speaker 2: If I get hit by a car, that's a good
- 8:33Speaker 2: lawsuit in my favor against FNZ property, right?
- 8:38Speaker 1: Oh, no, this is danger. I didn't realize we could
- 8:40Speaker 1: cost the company money. He's going to throw himself out
- 8:42Speaker 1: of a bus. Last thing, they'll be at the risk
- 8:45Speaker 1: of a car hitting you. And my prediction will be
- 8:47Speaker 1: it'd be a cab driver if they hit you. Who's
- 8:51Speaker 1: your pick? Georgia Bama. Who's your pick?
- 8:55Speaker 2: Speaker 0 5th, man. I'm going to go with Bama.
- 8:59Speaker 2: They've defeated them with the board. The last two regular
- 9:01Speaker 2: season matches. I know the sec championship game got really ugly.
- 9:05Speaker 2: I I'm looking for Ryan Coleman Williams. I got to
- 9:08Speaker 2: see that he's back back. Gunner Stockton, I think is
- 9:11Speaker 2: one of the more underrated quarterbacks in the country, but
- 9:13Speaker 2: I thought Keelan Russell should have been playing last year
- 9:15Speaker 2: over Ty Simpson. I really like his game right now.
- 9:18Speaker 2: A little concerned that it's weird to say that Bama
- 9:21Speaker 2: had a big went up against Mississippi state. But that
- 9:24Speaker 2: Camario Taylor was playing well until he got hurt. I'm
- 9:27Speaker 2: just going to go with the boar and the Crimson
- 9:29Speaker 2: Tide to continue to have George's number in the regular season.
- 9:32Speaker 1: It's going to be a fun one tomorrow night, no
- 9:34Speaker 1: doubt about it. All right, Gelby, navigate those streets, and
- 9:39Speaker 1: we appreciate you as always, man. Thank you, brother.
- 9:42Speaker 2: You got it guys. And just make sure you're not
- 9:44Speaker 2: drinking that bidet water.
- 9:45Speaker 1: All right.
- 9:46Speaker 3: It sounds like a bad radio bag on this show.
- 9:50Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
- 9:51Speaker 1: Oh, definite. That's a definite radio bag coming up. Be
- 9:54Speaker 1: good brother.
