Transcript
- 0:23Speaker 1: It's fantastic and having a taste of what it feels
- 0:26Speaker 1: like to be in the wildcard round, to win the division,
- 0:29Speaker 1: hosting a playoff game, and the support that we got
- 0:32Speaker 1: from our fan base, you know, as people asked me,
- 0:35Speaker 1: like what was that game like the ones who weren't
- 0:37Speaker 1: able to be there, it was just like it was special,
- 0:39Speaker 1: you know, from pregame, as our groups came out, DBS
- 0:43Speaker 1: wide receivers, the big boys come out together, there was
- 0:46Speaker 1: just a welcoming from the crowd that was already there.
- 0:49Speaker 1: The energy was right, and the guys could feel that
- 0:52Speaker 1: they come bouncing out of the tunnel a little different
- 0:54Speaker 1: when they had that kind of support. And so that's
- 0:56Speaker 1: the last thing in our guys' minds. And as I
- 0:58Speaker 1: asked them, let's move on. This is twenty twenty six,
- 1:01Speaker 1: this is a new season. Nothing is guaranteed. The work
- 1:04Speaker 1: is today. I know that in the back in the
- 1:07Speaker 1: back of their minds. I know they can feel that,
- 1:08Speaker 1: and they're excited to get back into our stadium playball
- 1:11Speaker 1: like we know how. And I'm looking I'm excited about
- 1:14Speaker 1: and looking forward to a really good turnout so that
- 1:16Speaker 1: the energy's right in there.
- 1:18Speaker 2: Coach Canal is talking about tonight's fan fest. Fan fest festivities,
- 1:22Speaker 2: I guess that works. Uh tonight at the Bank Baby,
- 1:26Speaker 2: first chance for all of you in Panther Nation to
- 1:30Speaker 2: see in person the twenty twenty six Carolina Panthers.
- 1:34Speaker 3: Unfortunately, we've got a.
- 1:36Speaker 2: Handful of guys that will not be out there, but
- 1:39Speaker 2: including Chris Brasel, who we found out yesday, not out
- 1:42Speaker 2: just for eight weeks, out for the season. I have
- 1:44Speaker 2: to have surgery on that torn LCL. We talk, we'll
- 1:47Speaker 2: talk about that later on as we try to cope,
- 1:49Speaker 2: as we try to figure out bone, if we're panicking
- 1:53Speaker 2: or staying strong in Panther Nation. But tonight I'm looking
- 1:57Speaker 2: forward to getting out there. During the breakbone. It finally
- 2:00Speaker 2: hit me what the mind of some of our Texters.
- 2:04Speaker 2: I finally got inside the mind. That's actually a place
- 2:08Speaker 2: I tried not to go. That's dangerous.
- 2:11Speaker 3: So anyway, Tampa Tammy came by. We were talking about something.
- 2:15Speaker 2: She came by, tried, I don't know, to give us
- 2:18Speaker 2: l signs or whatever she does to taunt us, and
- 2:21Speaker 2: she walked out.
- 2:22Speaker 3: She told to play Baker.
- 2:24Speaker 2: She walked out the door, and I'm like, oh no,
- 2:27Speaker 2: I wanted to troll her about Baker Mayfield being angry
- 2:29Speaker 2: about his contract offer. So I ran out there and
- 2:32Speaker 2: yelled out, Baker Mayfield's gonna leave y'all. And I was
- 2:36Speaker 2: hoping she would come back and be triggered and angry
- 2:38Speaker 2: at me, and she did not come back, and I
- 2:40Speaker 2: am very disappointed. And now I fully understand how the
- 2:45Speaker 2: trolls on the text line feel like you just want
- 2:48Speaker 2: a reaction. You're just trying to stir it up. And
- 2:51Speaker 2: when like, so, you send that troll text and you're like,
- 2:55Speaker 2: are they gonna respond? His Bone gonna turn his hat
- 2:57Speaker 2: around backwards and start arguing with me? Is Mac go
- 3:00Speaker 2: to get all fired up on the air and sound
- 3:01Speaker 2: like an idiot and loses cool? Like I finally kind
- 3:04Speaker 2: of understood Bone the mind of the trolling texter. And
- 3:09Speaker 2: by the way, it really is upsetting when you don't
- 3:11Speaker 2: get a response.
- 3:12Speaker 3: I am very upset there right now. But you feel
- 3:14Speaker 3: good though.
- 3:15Speaker 4: No, I like, I liked it when I said it,
- 3:17Speaker 4: but then when nothing happens, you're like, dang, you know
- 3:22Speaker 4: the one thing I'm not gonna do is react to texters.
- 3:26Speaker 3: No, not at all, Not.
- 3:27Speaker 4: At all, man, I haven't been into scraping about forty
- 3:30Speaker 4: five minutes. Oh, we did have a guy that started
- 3:34Speaker 4: to show. I means some of the stuff. Guy starts
- 3:37Speaker 4: to show by trying to tell us that injuries happened.
- 3:40Speaker 4: You don't need to talk about it that much. It's
- 3:42Speaker 4: kind of like a guy went down. A second player's
- 3:44Speaker 4: out for the season. We're a very heavy football show.
- 3:48Speaker 4: We're just not going to talk about a player, the
- 3:49Speaker 4: player being injured. Like, glad you're not. I said, glad
- 3:52Speaker 4: you're not programming, sir. And the guy got all, does
- 3:54Speaker 4: he think the headlines are in Charlotte Sports right now?
- 3:56Speaker 4: He said, talk about your Yankees? Like why would we
- 3:58Speaker 4: talk about the Like why would that be a thing?
- 3:59Speaker 4: He let me tell you what we are be talking
- 4:02Speaker 4: about K's bone. Please thank you for that. After yesterday, Zipline.
- 4:07Speaker 2: Says, fans, Zipline says, fan Fest family of five incoming
- 4:11Speaker 2: this evening. Let's go keep pounding. And that's what I want.
- 4:14Speaker 2: I want to hear from people that are going to
- 4:16Speaker 2: be there tonight. What are you This is your first
- 4:20Speaker 2: chance to see them? Because fans can't be a camp.
- 4:24Speaker 2: So I feel like that ups what fan Fest is
- 4:26Speaker 2: for fans What are you looking for tonight? Who are
- 4:30Speaker 2: you looking for tonight? There's it's no secret, Bone that
- 4:34Speaker 2: we've been taking our lumps as Panther fans. The team's
- 4:37Speaker 2: been taking their lumps, whether it's the moat and illness
- 4:39Speaker 2: or the scorting and Brassel injuries. For the season, it's
- 4:42Speaker 2: been a little rough way to start our title defense.
- 4:46Speaker 2: But tonight, if you show up at fan fest, who
- 4:50Speaker 2: could kind of put a little pet back in your
- 4:53Speaker 2: Panther step tonight? Who are you wanting to watch and
- 4:56Speaker 2: hoping to see good things from? Because you think like that,
- 5:00Speaker 2: that's meaningful. That will kind of carry me for the
- 5:03Speaker 2: next couple of days. Seven, four, five, seven oh nine,
- 5:06Speaker 2: six ten, hit us up on on the text line
- 5:10Speaker 2: powered by Affordable Siding and Windows. What do you think,
- 5:12Speaker 2: Bone Man, like? What comes to your mind first? Or
- 5:16Speaker 2: who comes to your mind first?
- 5:17Speaker 4: It's all the injured spots, it's the edge rushers, it's Freeling,
- 5:22Speaker 4: it's Walker, and it's especially the wide outs outside of
- 5:26Speaker 4: Cocher and Team mag I wanted to do well, but
- 5:28Speaker 4: I think we kind of know. Hey, t match that dude,
- 5:30Speaker 4: we know what Coker is. We need to see XL
- 5:34Speaker 4: Mechi Jimmy Horr, Junior hell Tremaine, David Moore. We need
- 5:38Speaker 4: to see those guys make us feel like there's enough
- 5:42Speaker 4: there maybe collectively to try to deepen this wide receiver room.
- 5:50Speaker 4: So it's all those spots, maggets, the edge rushers replacing Scorrdon.
- 5:54Speaker 4: It's freeling in those guys. It's all the guys we
- 5:56Speaker 4: talked so much about that need to step up for
- 6:00Speaker 4: the injured or out for the year. I want to
- 6:02Speaker 4: see those guys tonight and especially when they do scrimmages
- 6:05Speaker 4: coming up down the line. That's gonna be really interesting
- 6:08Speaker 4: to watch absolutely because free Wing is gonna be taken
- 6:10Speaker 4: on Will Anderson by the way, for for is it
- 6:13Speaker 4: a day or two?
- 6:13Speaker 3: Is it one day? One day with them, one day
- 6:15Speaker 3: with the jazz, you have the you have one of the.
- 6:17Speaker 4: Best eventions in football, and free and free Wing and
- 6:20Speaker 4: Walker are going to take on Hunter and Anderson. So
- 6:23Speaker 4: those guys will be tested then. But tonight I just
- 6:25Speaker 4: want to see how did the uh, how did the
- 6:28Speaker 4: guys stepping up one?
- 6:29Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's a good place to start, and
- 6:32Speaker 2: we could talk about like specific guys that have to
- 6:35Speaker 2: step up that that you know, uh, warrant the watching.
- 6:39Speaker 2: I will tell Panther fans to look out for jessem Reid.
- 6:42Speaker 2: He's a guy bone. I wonder if the Brassle injury.
- 6:44Speaker 2: He's been making plays downfield. A bunch of practice was
- 6:46Speaker 2: on our practice squad last year. He's been kind of
- 6:49Speaker 2: the buzzy wide receiver at training camp that reporters have
- 6:52Speaker 2: been like, we saw him make a big catch in
- 6:54Speaker 2: traffic for a touchdown. Reporters have been kind of noticing.
- 6:58Speaker 2: I keep it eye on, just seeming to see if
- 7:00Speaker 2: he can keep making plays. I saw Mike k Bone
- 7:04Speaker 2: yesterday react to the Brasl injury by wondering kind of allowed.
- 7:08Speaker 2: Wonder if Ja seem Reed could get into this mix there,
- 7:10Speaker 2: But obviously all those other guys too.
- 7:13Speaker 3: XLS is a very key one.
- 7:15Speaker 2: Again, not like if you make I think he made
- 7:17Speaker 2: a playing fan Fest last year, if I'm not mistaken,
- 7:20Speaker 2: not mistaken. Not like plays in FanFest guarantee plays in
- 7:24Speaker 2: the regular season. But if you're just looking for something
- 7:27Speaker 2: that could make your Panther heart flutter a little bit,
- 7:30Speaker 2: you know, maybe just CXL make a couple of plays.
- 7:32Speaker 4: He's legit, but having a great training I think just
- 7:35Speaker 4: seem Reed's a good one because Dan Morgan already has
- 7:38Speaker 4: a track record Mack with the undrafted wideouts that he
- 7:42Speaker 4: can find them and make something out of them and
- 7:44Speaker 4: get them a deal and have them be a big
- 7:46Speaker 4: part of stuff like Cocher is. So is just seem
- 7:48Speaker 4: Read on a path to maybe be the next Coker.
- 7:52Speaker 4: I don't know it's early, but that's certainly one to monitor.
- 7:55Speaker 4: And then you know he's gonna play a lot in
- 7:57Speaker 4: these games. He's gonna be a guy that gets a
- 7:59Speaker 4: lot of run I guess Arizona and going forward.
- 8:03Speaker 2: A dude could go for a Hundi in the Canton
- 8:05Speaker 2: game man in the Hall of Fame game on Thursday.
- 8:08Speaker 2: Haines king to Read could have all of America talking
- 8:11Speaker 2: next Thursday.
- 8:12Speaker 4: Night, it's gonna be Bebop's Montana to Rice seven O
- 8:16Speaker 4: four five.
- 8:16Speaker 3: Seven oh nine six ten.
- 8:18Speaker 2: If you're going to FanFest, I mean, even if you're
- 8:20Speaker 2: not going tonight, like you're going to, you know you're
- 8:23Speaker 2: gonna read about it.
- 8:24Speaker 3: You're gonna hear the buzz.
- 8:25Speaker 2: Who is the most important or what's the most important
- 8:28Speaker 2: thing to happen tonight? Uh. This texture says Princely. Doctor
- 8:33Speaker 2: Suave says, Princely, Yeah, that goes in Live Bone with
- 8:36Speaker 2: you talking about the edge guys, and maybe he's the
- 8:39Speaker 2: one that fans I think that's probably the choice, maybe
- 8:43Speaker 2: for the one that fans would love to see, you know,
- 8:45Speaker 2: break off that spin move that was so good for
- 8:47Speaker 2: him at Old Miss and get to the quarterback, you know,
- 8:51Speaker 2: not hit him, but get to the quarterback Pat Jones.
- 8:54Speaker 3: You kind of feel like, Okay, he's a veteran.
- 8:55Speaker 2: I know he's gonna be solid, but like Princely's the
- 8:58Speaker 2: dude where I mean Jalen Phil himself said the other day,
- 9:01Speaker 2: this is our best pass rusher, Like, you know, he
- 9:03Speaker 2: has so much role athletic ability, it's like just put
- 9:08Speaker 2: it all together. So I think that's probably a good answer.
- 9:10Speaker 2: In terms of who you're watching on defense, we know
- 9:13Speaker 2: that we're not gonna see a whole lot. They're not
- 9:16Speaker 2: gonna give a whole lot away.
- 9:17Speaker 4: But Texter says, interesting to see if there's anything with
- 9:21Speaker 4: Horn or t Mac and where they may line up
- 9:23Speaker 4: at any any particular drills.
- 9:24Speaker 3: Or the swats, the swat stuff.
- 9:27Speaker 4: Yeah, I would like to watch Horn in this. By
- 9:29Speaker 4: the way, I'm gonna call I'm gonna call Mac T Mac.
- 9:31Speaker 4: If he makes plays from the slot, the slot machine,
- 9:36Speaker 4: they gotta play. They gotta play like the noise what
- 9:39Speaker 4: he makes to play for the slot. Come on, panthers,
- 9:41Speaker 4: I'm giving you stuff here.
- 9:42Speaker 3: I love it. I love it.
- 9:43Speaker 2: I do wonder though the brassil injured because because the
- 9:46Speaker 2: using T Mac in the slot. Dave Canal has said,
- 9:48Speaker 2: basically is because we got brasl outside. So I do
- 9:51Speaker 2: wonder if it, you know what I mean, does that
- 9:53Speaker 2: change the math a little bit?
- 9:55Speaker 4: On that?
- 9:55Speaker 2: I also wonder too, bone if j C. Horn when
- 9:59Speaker 2: we always want him to travel with number one wide receivers,
- 10:02Speaker 2: and one of the reasons why he is, well, we
- 10:04Speaker 2: don't put him in the slot. So if you put
- 10:05Speaker 2: a receiver, I'd say this all the time. If you
- 10:07Speaker 2: want a guy not to be covered by j. C. Horn,
- 10:09Speaker 2: you put him in the slot. He ain't gonna be
- 10:11Speaker 2: covered by J. C.
- 10:12Speaker 3: Horn. Now J C.
- 10:14Speaker 2: Horn can go in there with him. Does that does
- 10:16Speaker 2: that lead to a little more traveling? I do wonder
- 10:18Speaker 2: about that as well. We're not gonna get the answer tonight,
- 10:21Speaker 2: but just kind of a thought. This texter says Jimmy
- 10:25Speaker 2: Horn is the guy I'm watching tonight. He can replace
- 10:28Speaker 2: Brazl as the speed threat. Downstairs, downstair. Why do I say, downstairs,
- 10:33Speaker 2: down the field.
- 10:33Speaker 3: Outstairs, downstairs? The heck? Am I talking about? Man? What
- 10:38Speaker 3: do you think about that? Bony?
- 10:40Speaker 2: Because Jimmy Horn's fans, they're die hard bone, they're not
- 10:44Speaker 2: giving up.
- 10:45Speaker 3: What do you think about this?
- 10:47Speaker 4: Yeah? I mean certainly he goes into that group I
- 10:49Speaker 4: talked about. He's in that the playmaker wide receiver group.
- 10:53Speaker 4: That can any of those guys step up? I think
- 10:55Speaker 4: that not necessarily David Moore because we know that he's
- 10:59Speaker 4: probably gonna make it and we know what he is.
- 11:01Speaker 4: But the younger guys, the Mechi's in the Horns. How
- 11:04Speaker 4: do excel? How how do they walk? And Metchi is
- 11:07Speaker 4: in that group of Hordes, in that group.
- 11:09Speaker 2: But the Horn specifically doesn't seem to get you. Tinkling
- 11:12Speaker 2: over there not really No, Like when doesn't get me?
- 11:16Speaker 2: He doesn't get you Tingling, I said Tinkling.
- 11:19Speaker 3: I was like, I.
- 11:22Speaker 2: Like Jimmy Horn, Like again, there's a faction of the
- 11:27Speaker 2: fans that really are pushing for him. I last, let's
- 11:33Speaker 2: let's talk about deep threat with him. Yeah, he's fast,
- 11:36Speaker 2: but the way he was used last year Bone was
- 11:39Speaker 2: get it in his hands on runs, throw short stuff
- 11:42Speaker 2: to it, and see if you can get him running
- 11:43Speaker 2: after the catch. Fifteen targets for him last year, only
- 11:46Speaker 2: two were deep balls. He called one, but only two
- 11:48Speaker 2: were deep balls. So I don't know if do they
- 11:51Speaker 2: view I don't know if they view him as that
- 11:52Speaker 2: downfield threat. He also is way smaller than a Chris Brassele.
- 11:57Speaker 2: The thing about Chris Brassele, and again I'm not trying
- 11:59Speaker 2: to get us depressed, all right, we'll talk about that
- 12:01Speaker 2: in the eight o'clock hour.
- 12:01Speaker 3: I almost stay strong without brazl.
- 12:04Speaker 2: But the thing about Brazzle by positive back swimming positive.
- 12:07Speaker 2: Clearly not only Bone is he blazing fast, but he'll
- 12:10Speaker 2: go up at the catch point at six y five
- 12:12Speaker 2: and Moss you, Jimmy Horn doesn't ask, So I don't
- 12:15Speaker 2: I don't know understand the speed angle, but I don't
- 12:18Speaker 2: know if I feel like Jimmy Horn is some huge
- 12:21Speaker 2: deep threat.
- 12:22Speaker 3: A lot of Texters bringing up Jonathan Brooks.
- 12:25Speaker 4: That's a good one, and I think what I want
- 12:28Speaker 4: to see, and I'm not going to speak for the Texters,
- 12:30Speaker 4: but I'm paraphrasing a couple of them. It's just see
- 12:33Speaker 4: him out there, not necessarily anything crazy. They just want
- 12:36Speaker 4: to see his football speed on display. They just want
- 12:40Speaker 4: to see Brooks in general out there, to know that
- 12:42Speaker 4: he's a real person. It's been a while. Yeah, I
- 12:47Speaker 4: would always walk into that one. I want to.
- 12:49Speaker 2: Yeah, you set him up, man, you lob it up
- 12:51Speaker 2: and he dunks at home for you. I yes, that
- 12:54Speaker 2: is a great answer, Jonathan Brooks. And I need a
- 12:56Speaker 2: shaking bake. I need a wiggle. He's been doing it
- 12:58Speaker 2: in camp. I need a little bit of wiggle and go.
- 13:01Speaker 2: That would be awesome to see tonight. We're talking about
- 13:03Speaker 2: FanFest tonight. Whether you're going. If you're going, we'd love to.
- 13:06Speaker 3: Hear from me.
- 13:07Speaker 2: If you're not going, who tonight can boost Panther fan spirits.
- 13:11Speaker 2: This texter says, how are you not mentioning Bryce Young?
- 13:15Speaker 2: This dude is on a tear in training camp. I
- 13:17Speaker 2: need to see it with my own eyes. That's well said.
- 13:20Speaker 2: I would love to see Bryce Young just continue. I mean,
- 13:25Speaker 2: he I was Scott. I don't know if you read
- 13:27Speaker 2: Scott Fowler's column Bone, but he is convinced that I did. Yes,
- 13:31Speaker 2: he that Bryce Young is going to earn all the
- 13:34Speaker 2: money this year. He's talking about two hundred million dollar
- 13:37Speaker 2: extension because of what he saw from him in training
- 13:40Speaker 2: camp the other day. Unfortunately, Bone, it was the day
- 13:43Speaker 2: we were out there two days this week, and it
- 13:44Speaker 2: was the one day we weren't out there this week,
- 13:46Speaker 2: but he was dropping the ball in a bucket. It
- 13:49Speaker 2: was apparently an absolute ridiculous performance. Now, with that said,
- 13:53Speaker 2: and it'll be saying to night, you do always wonder Bone,
- 13:56Speaker 2: when a quarterback knows he can't get hit, it's got
- 13:59Speaker 2: to change things for a lot easier when you know
- 14:01Speaker 2: that big guy that's running at me can't hit me.
- 14:04Speaker 2: So but but yes, I'm with that, Texter. I would
- 14:07Speaker 2: love to see some dimes drop tonight.
- 14:09Speaker 3: Man.
- 14:10Speaker 4: Yeah, Fowler says that what he's seeing now could lead
- 14:13Speaker 4: to a great season for Bryce Young to what you're
- 14:15Speaker 4: talking about and uh in getting paid back, there's a
- 14:18Speaker 4: seven o four. Texter is upset, Matt. Do you know
- 14:21Speaker 4: why he's upset. He was one of the guys that
- 14:24Speaker 4: was waiting behind the gate when we were leaving for
- 14:28Speaker 4: training camp that wanted Fiddy's autograph.
- 14:31Speaker 2: Oh man, this dude really wanted Pitty's autograph. He said,
- 14:33Speaker 2: he's still upset feet and stop and talk to the people. Oh, Fitty,
- 14:36Speaker 2: you gotta make this good tonight, baby, You gotta, you gotta,
- 14:39Speaker 2: you gotta spend time with your peeps.
- 14:41Speaker 5: Well, I don't mean to throw you guys under the bus,
- 14:44Speaker 5: but it was your fault.
- 14:45Speaker 3: Why I was.
- 14:46Speaker 5: I was willing to stop and sign autographs, but I
- 14:49Speaker 5: had to drive. I drove y'all over to the stadium.
- 14:52Speaker 5: I was on chauffeur because talent doesn't carry equipment, and
- 14:56Speaker 5: talent don't drive when you work with Fitty.
- 14:58Speaker 6: But Mack was like, I.
- 14:59Speaker 3: Ain't got time for that. I got to get back
- 15:01Speaker 3: to the house.
- 15:01Speaker 5: I gotta get my nap bone. I had to get
- 15:03Speaker 5: back to Murphy.
- 15:04Speaker 3: I couldn't have I couldn't take time.
- 15:06Speaker 2: I did you know anybody was serious about wanting to
- 15:10Speaker 2: you know what I mean? If I would have known
- 15:12Speaker 2: there was a real, diehard Fitty fan, I apologize, sir.
- 15:15Speaker 3: I would have made sure we circle back. Militia.
- 15:17Speaker 5: Is it something we just talk about, mac we live it?
- 15:20Speaker 4: How about when Kelly Barnick said, are you guys gonna
- 15:23Speaker 4: get the free watch? And the look on Fiddy's face
- 15:24Speaker 4: When Max said I think we gotta go Fiddy was
- 15:27Speaker 4: about to cry.
- 15:27Speaker 3: I think like we gonna go back and do some
- 15:30Speaker 3: more work. That's all.
- 15:31Speaker 5: Mack was weird. Make sure I did enough work for
- 15:33Speaker 5: the show, I said. If I don't do.
- 15:34Speaker 3: Enough work, Fdy got its free watch turned. I feel
- 15:38Speaker 3: bad about that.
- 15:39Speaker 4: Man.
- 15:39Speaker 3: I do Noble smoke, by the way, I forgot, Oh
- 15:43Speaker 3: yeah I do. Should I just give you the gift card? Oh?
- 15:47Speaker 3: What lunch with me? I want to sit down and
- 15:48Speaker 3: have lunch with my maya. Yeah we should. We did?
- 15:50Speaker 3: I give you a gift card also for Noble. Yeah,
- 15:53Speaker 3: but I had to go.
- 15:53Speaker 5: Remember I had to go fix his tire.
- 15:55Speaker 2: Oh that's right, that's right, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I had
- 15:57Speaker 2: to give him something bone. I was a desperate man
- 15:59Speaker 2: out there.
- 16:00Speaker 4: I could not get that dang lug undone off my tire, and.
- 16:03Speaker 2: I was panicky and panicky. Man, Oh my goodness. Anyway,
- 16:09Speaker 2: seven O four five, seven, nine, six ten. If you
- 16:13Speaker 2: want to jump in FanFest tonight, who we looking for?
- 16:16Speaker 2: We got some Devin Lloyd's. We got Trevin Wallace from
- 16:19Speaker 2: Adam from Harrisburg. Those are two good ones. Wallace, because
- 16:23Speaker 2: it's like we want to see growth, right, we want
- 16:26Speaker 2: to believe he can be the legit starter inside next
- 16:29Speaker 2: to Lloyd.
- 16:29Speaker 3: Devin Lloyd is just let me see this dude run.
- 16:33Speaker 3: Let me again.
- 16:34Speaker 2: I know he can't go put a big on, big
- 16:36Speaker 2: old Devin Lloyd hit on somebody, nor do I want
- 16:38Speaker 2: him to. But let me see him just turn it
- 16:41Speaker 2: up and go sideline the sideline. Let me see him
- 16:44Speaker 2: drop into spacebone and make up ground and stuff like that,
- 16:47Speaker 2: because that's stuff we just did not see enough of
- 16:51Speaker 2: last year.
- 16:52Speaker 4: Mag I want to see Cam Jackson and I want
- 16:54Speaker 4: to see him near us so he can walk out
- 16:55Speaker 4: in the sun potentially.
- 16:58Speaker 2: I want to see Cam Jackson next to the Bank
- 17:00Speaker 2: of American building and see what's bigger.
- 17:02Speaker 4: That's it's hard to be bigger than Derek Brown and
- 17:06Speaker 4: this dude that's somehow managed. I don't know what that's
- 17:07Speaker 4: going to translate to, but man, there's football a building
- 17:10Speaker 4: in there. This guy is uh, this guy's like our
- 17:13Speaker 4: Kaleis Campbell.
- 17:13Speaker 2: I mean he can be that space like that, that
- 17:16Speaker 2: space eater, that blot, that guy that occupies two guys
- 17:19Speaker 2: like he.
- 17:20Speaker 4: I feel like he can grow. It's something there, man. Yeah,
- 17:23Speaker 4: when we come back here on the Mack and Bo
- 17:25Speaker 4: Sho on this Football Friday, a lot of college football stuff.
- 17:28Speaker 4: Kurt Signetti, Oh my goodness, did he body bag the SEC?
- 17:33Speaker 4: And in shocking news, politicians might fail to protect college sports? Wow,
- 17:38Speaker 4: oh wow. Sports Radio ninety two seven WFNZ.
- 17:59Speaker 7: Yeah, we're working through some things. You know, we're at
- 18:01Speaker 7: a particular time a year now where there are certain
- 18:03Speaker 7: things that are in play and certain things that are
- 18:06Speaker 7: in play that won't happen until later in the calendar
- 18:08Speaker 7: year at some of the point. So you know, we're
- 18:10Speaker 7: taking the day to day and you know, working through
- 18:14Speaker 7: the things that are on the table.
- 18:15Speaker 6: Now.
- 18:17Speaker 2: Hey, yo, does Bill Belichick at his startup training camp presser,
- 18:20Speaker 2: the media was told beforehand do not ask questions about
- 18:24Speaker 2: Michael Lombardi.
- 18:25Speaker 3: Somebody did, bony Uh.
- 18:27Speaker 2: They found a way to cleverly ask a Lombardi question,
- 18:30Speaker 2: and that was the answer. The question was, you know,
- 18:34Speaker 2: how are you changing roles? Who take who's picking up
- 18:37Speaker 2: the slack with Michael Lombardi on leave right now? And
- 18:40Speaker 2: that is an answer right there that, in typical Belichick fashion,
- 18:44Speaker 2: did not reveal really a damn thing.
- 18:47Speaker 4: I saw a tweet yesterday and I forget who to
- 18:50Speaker 4: give credit to, but it's so accurate. There hasn't been.
- 18:53Speaker 4: There have not been many days back in the last
- 18:55Speaker 4: almost two years where Bill Belichick seems to have fit
- 18:59Speaker 4: in or been the right higher for UNC until a
- 19:02Speaker 4: day like that when he needs to avoid questions. And
- 19:05Speaker 4: then you have the perfect guy of Bill Belichick to
- 19:07Speaker 4: just sidestep all this stuff.
- 19:08Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he is his wheelhouse. Yeah, he's in his
- 19:11Speaker 3: bag in that environment. Right. Oh yeah.
- 19:14Speaker 2: If he doesn't want to give you a dang thing
- 19:15Speaker 2: at a presser, he is just gold. He is a
- 19:18Speaker 2: he's a Hall of Famer at that. So yeah, he
- 19:20Speaker 2: probably you're right, that's true. He might have felt more
- 19:23Speaker 2: comfortable yesterday than he has at any point since he's
- 19:26Speaker 2: been And he said.
- 19:27Speaker 4: We don't worry, guys, I got this one now.
- 19:30Speaker 2: Lee Roberts said something bone that create that led to
- 19:35Speaker 2: a semi semiviral situation on social media. Lee Roberts, of course,
- 19:39Speaker 2: the chancellor at UNC. Listen to what he says. And
- 19:45Speaker 2: again these two comments that we're playing for you is
- 19:47Speaker 2: literally the only things that were said about Lombardi, and
- 19:50Speaker 2: it's really not much of anything. But listen to what
- 19:53Speaker 2: Lee Roberts says here he also cracks me up. It's
- 19:56Speaker 2: something about the end of this cracks me up too.
- 19:58Speaker 2: But it led to a formerployee of UNC football tweeting
- 20:04Speaker 2: and it went viral. Listen to this from Chancell Roberts.
- 20:10Speaker 8: With respect of football, we learned of some concerns last week.
- 20:14Speaker 8: We put Mike Lombardi on administrative leave. As you know,
- 20:18Speaker 8: we began an investigation. If something has gone wrong, we
- 20:22Speaker 8: want to know about it. If something needs to be fixed,
- 20:25Speaker 8: we will be sure to fix it. There's a standard
- 20:28Speaker 8: of excellence here that all of us are entrusted with
- 20:32Speaker 8: adhering to. We're looking forward to the season. We're excited
- 20:36Speaker 8: to kick off the season in Dublin against TCU. Coach
- 20:40Speaker 8: Belichick is the most successful coach in the history of
- 20:43Speaker 8: the sport. I know he's focused on getting the team
- 20:46Speaker 8: ready for the season. I think we start practice today
- 20:49Speaker 8: and everyone's excited to kick off the season against TCU
- 20:53Speaker 8: and Dublin.
- 20:57Speaker 2: I'm not convinced bone that Chancellor Roberts is really all
- 21:00Speaker 2: that excited about the start of football. He sounded like,
- 21:03Speaker 2: and this is a line you'll use often, he sounded
- 21:06Speaker 2: like a hostage victim that was told read this off
- 21:09Speaker 2: right now that I am very excited about the great
- 21:12Speaker 2: coach Belichick starting another season.
- 21:15Speaker 3: Is this good enough? You're not gonna shoot me?
- 21:17Speaker 4: Yeah? Blake, Blake, sir, are you okay? Oh my, I've
- 21:21Speaker 4: never seen a person mac. I'm a I grew up
- 21:25Speaker 4: a Jets fan, so I know what people sound like
- 21:28Speaker 4: when they're not really exciting for football season and they
- 21:31Speaker 4: have to act.
- 21:31Speaker 3: I get that sense right there that he has that
- 21:33Speaker 3: going on.
- 21:33Speaker 4: I did too. I'm soally excited. We can't wait to
- 21:36Speaker 4: go to double even Belichick's like, but buddy, it was
- 21:40Speaker 4: so unconvincing at the end of that thing. And I'm sorry,
- 21:43Speaker 4: Heels fans, I know you. I know you're probably like,
- 21:45Speaker 4: can we just get back to Panther injuries? Like that's like,
- 21:48Speaker 4: that's less depressing than than the Heels getting dragged every day.
- 21:51Speaker 4: I apologize, but this tough is just man, I don't know,
- 21:56Speaker 4: man a fresh I'm starting to root for a fresh start,
- 21:59Speaker 4: and I think a lot of Heels fans are. But anyway,
- 22:01Speaker 4: the first part of what he said bone it got
- 22:04Speaker 4: the attention of a former employee for Tar Heel Football.
- 22:11Speaker 4: The part where he says, we learned of some we
- 22:15Speaker 4: learned to some concerns last week, and we have put
- 22:17Speaker 4: Michael Lombardi on leave. Former UNC coordinator of football Operations
- 22:23Speaker 4: Heather Holt quote tweeted that and said, if you just
- 22:27Speaker 4: learned last week, how do you explain my emails from
- 22:31Speaker 4: January of twenty twenty five telling your athletic administration that
- 22:35Speaker 4: this was my concern. She also tweeted BONE the other
- 22:39Speaker 4: day when the news came down that Lombardi would be
- 22:42Speaker 4: placed on leave. She tweeted out something to the effect of,
- 22:46Speaker 4: this is the least surprising thing I've heard all day.
- 22:50Speaker 4: She was there BONE until March of twenty twenty five.
- 22:54Speaker 4: She was there for what Lombardi and Belchick got their
- 22:58Speaker 4: December of twenty four So a compla he came in
- 23:00Speaker 4: the first month right.
- 23:01Speaker 2: And like a month later she was trying to essentially
- 23:04Speaker 2: warn or complain. I don't know I do well, she yeah,
- 23:08Speaker 2: you know what I mean. I don't know what she sent,
- 23:10Speaker 2: but she is saying that she emailed the athletic administration
- 23:14Speaker 2: talking of her concerns, and it sounds like she means
- 23:17Speaker 2: about Lombardi.
- 23:19Speaker 4: And she is a former employee, so She's not gonna
- 23:22Speaker 4: shy away from putting out tweets and saying stuff like that.
- 23:25Speaker 4: So she's got nothing, nothing to stop her.
- 23:28Speaker 2: I mean, the Pete Themil story says it's an HR
- 23:31Speaker 2: complaint filed by a former yep UNC football employee. But
- 23:36Speaker 2: she is saying that she contacted the administration in January
- 23:39Speaker 2: twenty twenty five. So I'm is there you know, multiple
- 23:43Speaker 2: complaints including her.
- 23:44Speaker 4: I don't know. But here's here's the thing. If he
- 23:47Speaker 4: had a complaint filed MAC with him in the first month,
- 23:51Speaker 4: who knows how many things are going on there now
- 23:53Speaker 4: a month in the attica and this is the one
- 23:56Speaker 4: who knows. But the fact that it took a month
- 23:58Speaker 4: for a complaint to happen and now we are almost
- 24:01Speaker 4: two years from that, ward knows how many things this
- 24:04Speaker 4: guy it could be h it may not be one
- 24:07Speaker 4: thing while he's on leave. This guy may have a
- 24:09Speaker 4: laundry whist of complaints coming in. I forget who was
- 24:11Speaker 4: saying it. One of the insiders. It might have been
- 24:13Speaker 4: Dellinger or Staples. Like I've listened to so many of
- 24:15Speaker 4: these national podcasts to get their take. One of them
- 24:18Speaker 4: said they had kind of heard it was there were
- 24:22Speaker 4: multiple things. They wasn't you know you know that where
- 24:24Speaker 4: if Pete Famile said, hey, it's an HR complaint, you know,
- 24:27Speaker 4: filed by a former employee.
- 24:30Speaker 2: Let's see here. Butterbeer says, I'm convinced our chancellor is
- 24:33Speaker 2: a robot. The other text. The other Textter says, how
- 24:38Speaker 2: young is UNC's chancellor? This dude looks like the doogie
- 24:42Speaker 2: howser of chancellors. I was wondering that too, and I
- 24:44Speaker 2: forgot to look up his age. I gotta look that up.
- 24:48Speaker 2: Like he does look very young for he's fifty eight.
- 24:52Speaker 4: How's that doing?
- 24:53Speaker 6: Right?
- 24:54Speaker 4: I don't know what's he doing that I'm not doing.
- 24:56Speaker 4: He's got a great skidcare routine. I'm six years younger.
- 24:58Speaker 4: Look Haggard, I look it seriously.
- 25:02Speaker 3: He was unbelievable. I thought he was in his forties.
- 25:04Speaker 4: He kind of was like an aging PGA tour golfer
- 25:09Speaker 4: going on to get ready for the Nike Who's got
- 25:11Speaker 4: one major? He's got one major left?
- 25:14Speaker 2: Oh my god, man, Lee Roberts, you should do it
- 25:16Speaker 2: tell us like your skincare secrets or something. Bro All right, anyway,
- 25:20Speaker 2: let's refocus on before we get to Kurt signetty body
- 25:23Speaker 2: bagging the SEC, and I want to hear reaction from
- 25:26Speaker 2: SEC fans and non SEC fans to this. Uh, but
- 25:30Speaker 2: I do want to read a text about Fiddy seven
- 25:34Speaker 2: four seven O four number says, I'm not mad Mackett,
- 25:38Speaker 2: you and bone and the shots at Belichick and Lombardi
- 25:41Speaker 2: they deserve it. But the fact that Fiddy as a
- 25:44Speaker 2: U n C fan never stands up for tar heel
- 25:46Speaker 2: football and let you guys do this is the problems,
- 25:52Speaker 2: the Heills problem. Fitty will be praised placed on administrative
- 25:56Speaker 2: fan leave boat.
- 25:59Speaker 5: I do try to come to the defense and the
- 26:02Speaker 5: aid of Belichick. I've kind of come around to buying
- 26:06Speaker 5: in on his vision. Want to build this thing up
- 26:09Speaker 5: from the ground. But what do you want me to defend?
- 26:13Speaker 5: What do you want me to stand up for? We
- 26:16Speaker 5: hired a guy paid him ten million dollars. He got introduced,
- 26:20Speaker 5: was talking about being the thirty third NFL team, went
- 26:23Speaker 5: four and ain't and got his ass kicked by all
- 26:25Speaker 5: of his rivals.
- 26:25Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought, that's the thing.
- 26:27Speaker 2: It's not like there's other tar heel fans like to
- 26:29Speaker 2: your in your defense, Fitty, great points. What is there
- 26:33Speaker 2: really to stand up for and bone. Have you seen
- 26:36Speaker 2: you You've definitely drawn the eye or of a Carolina
- 26:38Speaker 2: fan or two right over the years, you've seen anybody
- 26:41Speaker 2: on there that's been mad with the tone or what's
- 26:43Speaker 2: been said, like it's one of these things where and
- 26:46Speaker 2: you all tell me if I'm wrong, if there's a
- 26:47Speaker 2: Heels fan out there, like you guys aren't being fair.
- 26:50Speaker 2: But I don't since tar Heel fans think they're that
- 26:52Speaker 2: anybody's a victim here, I think they are just like
- 26:56Speaker 2: it also so bad? Hey seven to four number? Did
- 27:00Speaker 2: you buy season tickets last year?
- 27:02Speaker 3: Did you? Were you in the stadium?
- 27:03Speaker 5: I holed my ass up there every Saturday to watch
- 27:06Speaker 5: them be non competitive more often than not.
- 27:09Speaker 3: Were you there for the TCU game?
- 27:11Speaker 5: I came back to work on an hour and a
- 27:13Speaker 5: half of sleep after watching them getting embarrassed on national
- 27:17Speaker 5: TV because that's how much I care.
- 27:20Speaker 3: So get them, baby, get them. You don't want to
- 27:22Speaker 3: play the fan card with me? You went to see
- 27:25Speaker 3: when they smit there on you don't want to play
- 27:27Speaker 3: the fan card with me?
- 27:29Speaker 4: I feel like the fans are we We joked the
- 27:33Speaker 4: other day that the Lombardi stuff became a celebration of
- 27:36Speaker 4: the sport, and that included the Heels fans because I
- 27:39Speaker 4: think they're they're embarrassed by this experiment and they just
- 27:42Speaker 4: want to They would rather have their own and you
- 27:44Speaker 4: said it the other day, they'd rather have their own
- 27:45Speaker 4: John Summer all and try to build their program for
- 27:48Speaker 4: consistent success.
- 27:49Speaker 5: Yeah, and I the GM I've seen since Scott Fitner,
- 27:52Speaker 5: and I'm named after that guy, And I'm sorry Scott,
- 27:55Speaker 5: and I hated for Heels fans because it's like, I
- 27:57Speaker 5: want everybody excited about football, and.
- 27:59Speaker 2: Heels fans are a lot of you are saying, I
- 28:01Speaker 2: just want to be bad enough so that we make
- 28:04Speaker 2: the change nine to eight ohero numbers A wooph, says
- 28:08Speaker 2: a diehard Woolpack fan. Anybody else that hates Carolina feeling
- 28:12Speaker 2: like this? This is almost like their honeymoon all over again,
- 28:16Speaker 2: all this bad Tar Heel press and now tar Heel
- 28:18Speaker 2: fan infighting. This dude might be he might be an
- 28:22Speaker 2: enjoyed it, maybe a little too much.
- 28:24Speaker 3: There is honeymoon. He compared it to do Steam fans
- 28:26Speaker 3: have time to honeymoon?
- 28:27Speaker 5: Because I thought being a farmer was a twenty four
- 28:29Speaker 5: to seven jo Right enough, your shonder let's.
- 28:34Speaker 3: Get to this. I keep the farmers out of this.
- 28:36Speaker 3: Let's get to this Signetti thing.
- 28:38Speaker 2: Kurt Signetti closed SEC media days yesterday, our Big.
- 28:43Speaker 3: Ten Media Days yes day with a bang.
- 28:46Speaker 4: The Indiana head coach and reigning national champ pumping up
- 28:49Speaker 4: the conference and taking some digs at the SEC.
- 28:53Speaker 3: What do we think of this?
- 28:55Speaker 6: The Big Ten is the best leg in football and
- 29:01Speaker 6: a lot of really good football teams. It's hard to
- 29:03Speaker 6: win on the road, very physical football teams, very well coached.
- 29:07Speaker 6: It definitely prepares you for the playoffs. There's no doubt
- 29:10Speaker 6: about the numbers speak for themselves. I mean, we don't
- 29:13Speaker 6: run a hype machine up here in the Midwest. We
- 29:17Speaker 6: believe everything's earned, not given. And when we fall short,
- 29:21Speaker 6: we say we fall short. We don't cry a river,
- 29:25Speaker 6: whine and complain, all right, and that's why we're the best.
- 29:30Speaker 2: Oh man, that is beautiful. So what do you think
- 29:33Speaker 2: about that? Bone like?
- 29:36Speaker 3: I don't think you can say that's foul? Can you
- 29:38Speaker 3: like that?
- 29:39Speaker 4: Dude?
- 29:39Speaker 3: He's got the trophy? Right he can.
- 29:40Speaker 4: He won a national title at Indiana in his second year.
- 29:44Speaker 4: That guy can say whatever he wants, whether you love
- 29:46Speaker 4: them you hate him. Doesn't matter. That guy's got the
- 29:49Speaker 4: bell right now at Indiana. This is he can talk
- 29:52Speaker 4: that talking to Actulete thing mack. When we're talking about
- 29:55Speaker 4: national title contenders, we don't really often bring up Indiana
- 29:59Speaker 4: as a repeat be right there in that during that
- 30:01Speaker 4: like almost like that next level tier. But I wouldn't
- 30:04Speaker 4: be shocked if they're If they're right back, I mean
- 30:06Speaker 4: maybe not winning at all, but they'll be right back
- 30:07Speaker 4: in that mix, right. I'd put them in the top
- 30:10Speaker 4: five they can make. If they can made the playoffs
- 30:12Speaker 4: two years ago. His first year, they certainly, Oh yeah,
- 30:16Speaker 4: they could get back there again. Oh yeah, they're gonna
- 30:18Speaker 4: be there every year. Like some people seem to be
- 30:21Speaker 4: thinking at some point, oh there, when does Indiana go?
- 30:26Speaker 4: It ain't going away with that guy. He's only building momentum.
- 30:28Speaker 4: The more success they have bone the easier it is
- 30:30Speaker 4: to acquire players. I mean, it's just they got great,
- 30:34Speaker 4: great whiteouts this year.
- 30:35Speaker 2: They do, and they got they've got said they have
- 30:37Speaker 2: four stars back on the old line. They got talent
- 30:40Speaker 2: up front defensively, like yeah, that ain't he unless he
- 30:43Speaker 2: goes away. That's the only way they're going away. And
- 30:46Speaker 2: the work he does with quarterbacks. People look at Mendoza, right,
- 30:49Speaker 2: but it was before Mendoza, it was it wasn't Rourke
- 30:53Speaker 2: right the first year. I mean, like, he'll make Hoover
- 30:56Speaker 2: a better player. There's no doubt about its fun is
- 31:00Speaker 2: reaction from the SEC on this one. I can't imagine
- 31:04Speaker 2: SEC fans to your point. Bone had much to say, Paul,
- 31:07Speaker 2: Fine Bob. I'm sitting there on the couch and Fine
- 31:09Speaker 2: Bob is doing this story and I'm like, is he
- 31:12Speaker 2: gonna say anything about Like, is he gonna go after
- 31:14Speaker 2: him like he usually does when people go after the SEC.
- 31:17Speaker 3: Fine Bomb didn't even say a word.
- 31:19Speaker 2: What can you say when the guy has turned in
- 31:22Speaker 2: the and he beat Alabama by five touchdowns? As well,
- 31:26Speaker 2: there was an there was an SEC. It was SEC
- 31:28Speaker 2: unfiltered a count Bony that on Twitter that was tweeting
- 31:32Speaker 2: out like I can't wait until he gets humbled, and
- 31:37Speaker 2: I quote tweeted that and was like, kind of this
- 31:41Speaker 2: tweet is funny because SEC fans are currently in the
- 31:45Speaker 2: process of being humbled and Signetti is one of the
- 31:48Speaker 2: guys doing it right now.
- 31:50Speaker 3: So that's beautiful. Man. It really is.
- 31:52Speaker 4: Fight the fining stopper. He's the one, he shut up,
- 31:54Speaker 4: Paul Finebaub.
- 31:56Speaker 2: You know what fine Fim did. Actually he read that off.
- 32:00Speaker 2: He tipped his hat to Signetti and then went in
- 32:02Speaker 2: on Belam again, because that's a guy that you can
- 32:06Speaker 2: fire back at if you're an SEC fan. Right, It's like, dude,
- 32:10Speaker 2: how good were you? How good was your program when
- 32:12Speaker 2: you were in this conference? Signetti? You can't really fire
- 32:15Speaker 2: back at. I also wanted to mention big Head fatheada.
- 32:24Speaker 3: Gator.
- 32:24Speaker 2: Rube says that mf Or stays dropping to mic. Oh,
- 32:27Speaker 2: he's good, He's so good at he's a he is
- 32:31Speaker 2: an amazing, ridiculous coach and has done something historical. But man,
- 32:35Speaker 2: he runs that yapper at an elite level as well.
- 32:38Speaker 2: He really, he really does. See the Google me I
- 32:41Speaker 2: Win quotes from when he got hired there and everybody's like,
- 32:43Speaker 2: who is this dude?
- 32:44Speaker 3: You say this.
- 32:45Speaker 2: As far as the I did want to update Bone
- 32:48Speaker 2: to protect college sports Acts situation, this is not going
- 32:53Speaker 2: to shock anybody Bone. They the people that cover this
- 32:58Speaker 2: really felt like it was in poor and Bone to
- 33:01Speaker 2: kind of get this thing to vote to start dealing
- 33:07Speaker 2: with it. This week and the week is going to
- 33:10Speaker 2: end and there is no progress. The SEC and Big
- 33:12Speaker 2: ten were given Wednesday deadlines to respond to the revisions
- 33:17Speaker 2: that they made basically just to appease and to work
- 33:21Speaker 2: with the SEC and the Big Ten. They did not
- 33:25Speaker 2: meet that deadline. They were then given a Thursday deadline.
- 33:27Speaker 2: They did not meet that deadline. The SEC and Big
- 33:30Speaker 2: ten have not voted on the Act as it is.
- 33:31Speaker 2: They have not responded to the changes to the Act,
- 33:35Speaker 2: so they haven't done that.
- 33:37Speaker 3: In DC, there's no movement on it.
- 33:39Speaker 2: I guess they're just sitting here, just waiting, even though
- 33:41Speaker 2: they made two deadlines and the SEC and Big ten
- 33:43Speaker 2: have missed them. So they're just waiting on the SEC
- 33:46Speaker 2: and the Big ten because they feel like it won't
- 33:49Speaker 2: have the votes. Bone in SEC and Big ten states
- 33:52Speaker 2: that the senators from SEC in Big ten states will
- 33:54Speaker 2: not back it unless those conferences sign off on it.
- 34:00Speaker 2: Make a short story long bone. It's probably not gonna
- 34:03Speaker 2: get dealt with by before next week's one month recess,
- 34:08Speaker 2: so then you're into September. I mean this, I just
- 34:11Speaker 2: wonder if this thing ever gets to a damn vote.
- 34:13Speaker 3: Man. Yeah, I don't know.
- 34:15Speaker 4: I just can't wait till games get played, so we
- 34:17Speaker 4: don't have to talk about the not that you're doing
- 34:19Speaker 4: the right thing. But I just can't wait till we
- 34:21Speaker 4: get to end of August September we can actually talk
- 34:24Speaker 4: about the teams on the field every day and then
- 34:27Speaker 4: we'll come around on this again in the future. But
- 34:30Speaker 4: I this stuff right now. I need I need football
- 34:32Speaker 4: games death probly.
- 34:33Speaker 2: I just like just trying to think this thing through
- 34:36Speaker 2: like and I know we got wrapped this up and
- 34:37Speaker 2: think of this thing through bony. You look at these
- 34:41Speaker 2: two parties that are involved. I'm not talking about the
- 34:43Speaker 2: Democratic Republicans. I'm talking about the college football people trying
- 34:47Speaker 2: to all agree on something. And then you have then
- 34:50Speaker 2: you go to the political system and you got to
- 34:52Speaker 2: get people on both part sides of the aisle agreeing
- 34:55Speaker 2: on something.
- 34:55Speaker 3: Who the heck thinks all that's gonna happen? What are
- 34:58Speaker 3: the odds?
- 34:59Speaker 4: Boned?
- 34:59Speaker 2: Every college football conference agrees, and Democrats and Republicans agree.
- 35:04Speaker 2: Fitty getting it on with an Instagram model tonight. Bone
- 35:08Speaker 2: is more possible than all that happening. That's not on
- 35:11Speaker 2: the table, right, no, is it?
- 35:14Speaker 3: Okay?
- 35:16Speaker 4: We have some people angry at Fiddy on the text line.
- 35:18Speaker 4: Oh no, farmers are local farmers not happy with Fitty
- 35:23Speaker 4: going after farming industry.
- 35:25Speaker 2: Damn, that ain't good, Fitty. Those are your people, man,
- 35:28Speaker 2: You're out there in the God's country.
- 35:29Speaker 4: You someone said, beer maker man says, for as much
- 35:32Speaker 4: as Fiddy likes to eat, might want to lay off farmers.
- 35:38Speaker 3: Oh, you'll never hear Fitty go after the fast food industry.
- 35:41Speaker 4: Though that you would never hear mag I don't often
- 35:43Speaker 4: say this, but I'm a little bit nervous about what
- 35:45Speaker 4: may happen next. It's our fan round table, it's DVR Dave,
- 35:49Speaker 4: and it's the debuting Texter bit contact. They're gonna do
- 35:54Speaker 4: battle and a Panther head to head debate, the debate

- 37:59Speaker 9: for Mark Hamill the Joker when he retires. It's not
- 38:03Speaker 9: Can I force it? Yes, But you can tell the
- 38:06Speaker 9: difference if it's forced, because it's you know, it's like
- 38:08Speaker 9: it's like you know, you scripted it. Okay, I guess
- 38:13Speaker 9: I've never done that anywhere, you know. I mean, if
- 38:15Speaker 9: I've done it, it's because somebody specifically asked me to
- 38:18Speaker 9: for for you know, like like a drama club or something.
- 38:21Speaker 4: We would never and we would never ask him just
- 38:23Speaker 4: to lay it on thick and last. I would never, never, never,
- 38:29Speaker 4: all right, So if you.
- 38:30Speaker 9: Guys weren't funny, I wouldn't laugh.

- 38:40Speaker 2: member of the roundtable, Panther Fitty always could be involved
- 38:43Speaker 2: in these Panther round tables. We have Pecante, a man
- 38:46Speaker 2: who talks such a big game about Bryce Young on
- 38:50Speaker 2: the text line. We have asked him to show up
- 38:53Speaker 2: and show out. Can't wait, and he is here, Pecante.
- 38:56Speaker 2: Are you ready to go?
- 38:57Speaker 3: Baby?
- 38:58Speaker 10: Oh my god, Hey, guys, the best show ever man
- 39:02Speaker 10: the abanges of the Radio.
- 39:03Speaker 9: I'm so nervous.
- 39:05Speaker 4: Seriously, really, we wanted to get you on the phone line,
- 39:09Speaker 4: so he stopped texting the show. This this was our plan, all.
- 39:13Speaker 3: Right, So let's start with you, then, let's start.
- 39:16Speaker 10: But I was, I was, I was preparing for Grannie
- 39:19Speaker 10: Patt Now for who Dr David DVR day?
- 39:22Speaker 3: Are you disappointed?
- 39:23Speaker 9: It's not Granny super disappointed?
- 39:26Speaker 3: You Picante? You're a Granny fan? Yeah, okay, Dave, sorry Dave.
- 39:32Speaker 3: They just got killed there. All right, well Granny, Granny
- 39:35Speaker 3: was busy today. Listen to the show.
- 39:36Speaker 2: Let's start with Pecante. Pecante. Let's start right here. Do
- 39:42Speaker 2: you believe and I think I know the answer, But explain,
- 39:44Speaker 2: why do you believe Bryce is gonna ball out enough
- 39:47Speaker 2: to earn an extension this season?
- 39:50Speaker 9: No? No, I don't.
- 39:52Speaker 10: I don't believe that a bet. I mean, he's a
- 39:55Speaker 10: great guy, but it just when you guys draft the
- 39:58Speaker 10: number one that was got that was my thing. We
- 40:01Speaker 10: got to take me off like the first drive, not
- 40:04Speaker 10: even him or see his trial. But he had a
- 40:08Speaker 10: better year in college, so when you got him a
- 40:11Speaker 10: number one, I never believe. I mean, he does getting better,
- 40:15Speaker 10: He are getting better little by little, but we need
- 40:18Speaker 10: more fast, you know, pace than that.
- 40:22Speaker 4: All right, you said you guys, So let me clarify
- 40:25Speaker 4: some here. Are you? I'm always confused, are you a
- 40:28Speaker 4: Panther guy or not? Because you plopped up as a
- 40:30Speaker 4: Bengels fan one.
- 40:31Speaker 10: Day, I am, well, yeah, but I live here and
- 40:35Speaker 10: I love the city, and I working in the car
- 40:38Speaker 10: service thing. So when they do better, I do better.
- 40:43Speaker 2: I'm starting to even wonder about if he fits the
- 40:46Speaker 2: requirements for the Panther round table the way he answered
- 40:48Speaker 2: that question.
- 40:49Speaker 3: All right, let's go to DVR day. We're not happy
- 40:52Speaker 3: with the cant right now.
- 40:53Speaker 2: If do you want to defend the honor of Bryce?
- 40:56Speaker 2: Are you buying any First of all, he disrespected you
- 40:58Speaker 2: and said he was disappointed at you and not Secondly,
- 41:02Speaker 2: you heard what he said about Bryce.
- 41:03Speaker 3: What is your response, Dave?
- 41:05Speaker 9: Look, if you don't know who DVR Dave is, are
- 41:07Speaker 9: you really a station listener? I mean, come on, come on, guys.
- 41:12Speaker 9: All right, so look, let's let's.
- 41:15Speaker 3: That's a flex baby got him? Dave? I like it?
- 41:19Speaker 9: So so seriously, okay, look go look at Bryce Young statistically, Okay,
- 41:26Speaker 9: don't worry about the oh he's only five nine, this,
- 41:28Speaker 9: that and the other whatever. Bryce Young has improved in
- 41:31Speaker 9: pretty much every category since he got into the league.
- 41:33Speaker 9: I don't expect any different from him this year. You know,
- 41:38Speaker 9: Nick Gorton got hurt. That's not good. Brasell got hurt.
- 41:42Speaker 9: That's not good. You know, I have the recording of
- 41:45Speaker 9: the of the day Kyle fixed with You know, Kyle
- 41:48Speaker 9: was all happy because the phone runs got fixed. And
- 41:49Speaker 9: whenever I feel really bad, I'll play it. Just sit
- 41:51Speaker 9: there and grin. Let's go hurt.
- 41:55Speaker 3: That was a big day for you when you help
- 41:57Speaker 3: fix the phone. What does that do? A big day
- 41:59Speaker 3: for that?
- 42:00Speaker 6: What?
- 42:00Speaker 3: What's I have to do with right now? But you're
- 42:01Speaker 3: not happy with DVR day here? Dave?
- 42:03Speaker 4: What's that doing with right now? You're fixing the phone lines.
- 42:05Speaker 4: I'm actually upset now that day takes the phone lines.
- 42:09Speaker 9: Every time every time I feel bad. If I feel bad,
- 42:12Speaker 9: I play it and I just sit there and smile. Well,
- 42:13Speaker 9: Nick Courton got hurt, I have to play it, okay,
- 42:15Speaker 9: and the next got hurt, I have to play it again.
- 42:18Speaker 9: I'm like, I can't keep playing this tape every time
- 42:20Speaker 9: somebody gets.
- 42:22Speaker 3: You need another life highlight to think about when things
- 42:24Speaker 3: go bad.
- 42:25Speaker 4: I mean, do you go do your Civil War reenactment?
- 42:27Speaker 2: Something. Let's go back, Let's let's go out. All right,
- 42:32Speaker 2: let's get back. They kicked him out? Hold on, hold
- 42:36Speaker 2: on it. They kicked you out?
- 42:38Speaker 3: Yes, why what happened? It wasn't a real war?
- 42:43Speaker 9: No, basically okay, So I mean, I don't know how
- 42:46Speaker 9: much time you want to spend on this.
- 42:48Speaker 3: You got to know.
- 42:49Speaker 9: And basically they like autistic people.
- 42:52Speaker 4: Well that and that's I mean, I will shame on
- 42:54Speaker 4: that because you're a good dude. You deserve to be
- 42:56Speaker 4: in the.
- 43:00Speaker 6: NFL.
- 43:00Speaker 9: Get back to football. Come on, get back to football.
- 43:02Speaker 4: Right, let's go to Pecante. Let's got Did he just
- 43:04Speaker 4: tell us to stick the football when he just told
- 43:06Speaker 4: us something about him fixing the phones back in the day.
- 43:09Speaker 4: This texture says, I'm now mad at Dave. If he
- 43:11Speaker 4: never fixed y'all's phones, I wouldn't be listening to this crap.
- 43:15Speaker 3: I don't know. This dude says, y'all have lost the plot.
- 43:18Speaker 3: I know. See, it's not It's not as easy when
- 43:20Speaker 3: Grant Granny is like a great quarterback bone.
- 43:23Speaker 2: Granny makes plays herself, but sets the other roundtable person
- 43:28Speaker 2: up for big plays. Without Granny, I feel like we're
- 43:31Speaker 2: struggling Pecante. How do you feel? And people, by the way,
- 43:35Speaker 2: are not happy that they don't think Picante is a
- 43:37Speaker 2: real Panther fan, and they're mad at us bone because
- 43:39Speaker 2: he shouldn't be on here according to some Texters.
- 43:42Speaker 10: But I'm going to college.
- 43:44Speaker 2: Well yeah, okay, thank you, thank you, that's what I
- 43:47Speaker 2: want to hear, Pecante. The injuries that DVR Dave talked about,
- 43:52Speaker 2: they bum them out so much. He has to play
- 43:54Speaker 2: the audio of him fixing the phones at WFNZ. Are
- 43:57Speaker 2: you worried that our season could be destroyed by these
- 44:02Speaker 2: injuries that we've been hit with.
- 44:04Speaker 10: No, No, I didn't that. We have a great coaching
- 44:07Speaker 10: staff and the running game is amazing, so I mean
- 44:11Speaker 10: our deep it is great too. We just need more
- 44:14Speaker 10: offense and more consistency from Risi.
- 44:18Speaker 9: Oh Man, DV, DBA Dave.
- 44:22Speaker 3: DV why did you go? Why did you go? With
- 44:24Speaker 3: why'd you go? We and R on this one.
- 44:26Speaker 2: He changed the second he got him back. For his
- 44:28Speaker 2: second answer, he was full blown pain.
- 44:30Speaker 10: He had the state he was might be respectful for me,
- 44:33Speaker 10: like I don't want I don't listen to the show.
- 44:35Speaker 10: I do listen, you do, but I don't know who's.
- 44:41Speaker 3: He said, Wow, they just said, whoa.
- 44:43Speaker 4: They just said because they said you're a three star driver,
- 44:46Speaker 4: you got a five star drive.
- 44:47Speaker 3: Who that's cold? That's cold driving.
- 44:53Speaker 10: Right now, I'm close to lumber ten.
- 44:56Speaker 2: Okay, we're doing a lot of sharing. We're sharing a
- 44:58Speaker 2: lot of personal stuff on this round table.
- 45:01Speaker 3: All right.
- 45:02Speaker 4: I never missed Gretty pat before we are.
- 45:09Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, this.
- 45:11Speaker 10: I do believe that we're gonna have a great season
- 45:13Speaker 10: album eight and nine. Oh today, I think that you're
- 45:17Speaker 10: gonna sweep the bucks.
- 45:20Speaker 3: And did you just say you again? He went back
- 45:23Speaker 3: to saying you you're gonna sweep the butt? Is this dude?
- 45:26Speaker 2: This dude should have been We should have grilled Pecante
- 45:28Speaker 2: beforehand with the r U A panther, like we should
- 45:31Speaker 2: have hooked him up to a polygraph or something. But
- 45:34Speaker 2: I don't I feel Shenanigan's all right, let's go back
- 45:37Speaker 2: to d v R Dave.
- 45:37Speaker 3: DVR Dave has.
- 45:38Speaker 2: Been disrespected by Pecante. He called him DVD Dave Bone
- 45:43Speaker 2: and then and then basically said, I list the station
- 45:46Speaker 2: every day, but I don't know you. Meanwhile, this is
- 45:48Speaker 2: a guy that fixed the phones. It's the only reason
- 45:50Speaker 2: you're on the phones because phs Day. Don't take that, Dave.
- 45:55Speaker 2: What do you think about Pecante as a fan? Are
- 45:58Speaker 2: is he annoying you?
- 45:59Speaker 9: Well, look, you called me to talk about the Panthers,
- 46:02Speaker 9: not some random fan that doesn't listen to the show
- 46:04Speaker 9: and doesn't know anything about Bryce and all this. You know,
- 46:06Speaker 9: I mean, come on, look, I'm still sticking with ten wins. Okay,
- 46:10Speaker 9: I like it.
- 46:11Speaker 3: I like it. I respect it.
- 46:12Speaker 9: Because because this is the first season that I can
- 46:16Speaker 9: remember since about twenty fifteen where we come into the
- 46:19Speaker 9: season and somebody get hurt, but we've got somebody to
- 46:21Speaker 9: step up right away. Brazzle's down. Well, he was a
- 46:24Speaker 9: rookie and so well, you know, Fiddy and I have
- 46:27Speaker 9: been arguing about Xcel for a couple of weeks. Now.
- 46:30Speaker 9: I would love to be wrong about Excel. I would
- 46:33Speaker 9: love to be wrong about Excel. I would love for
- 46:35Speaker 9: Excel to catch a thousand yards and we go to
- 46:37Speaker 9: the you know, we go to the Super Bowl, blah
- 46:38Speaker 9: blah blah blah blah. But he's got to do it
- 46:40Speaker 9: this year.
- 46:41Speaker 3: Oh, he has to. He has this year, last year.
- 46:44Speaker 4: This year.
- 46:45Speaker 9: He won't be on the roster halfway through the season
- 46:47Speaker 9: if he doesn't ball out all.
- 46:48Speaker 2: Right, Dave, Dave, we due to time constraints, Dave, we
- 46:51Speaker 2: must end this segment. And you probably have phones to
- 46:54Speaker 2: fix for some radio station somewhere.
- 46:55Speaker 3: You know what I mean, I.
- 46:57Speaker 9: Got computers to fix.
- 46:58Speaker 2: Man.

- 47:02Speaker 2: Get back in those reenactments? Dad, that's all right. I
- 47:04Speaker 2: know I feel bad. You asked the question, and then
- 47:06Speaker 2: he said, I feel bad for him. Man, somebody let him.
- 47:08Speaker 2: Someone let him play, you know, dress play, dress up
- 47:11Speaker 2: as a soldiers.
- 47:12Speaker 4: Hopefully they go a wall though, hopefully is this on
- 47:14Speaker 4: the up and other?
- 47:14Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, all right, we we are somehow at
- 47:16Speaker 2: a time that I have to be honest with you.
