- 0:22Speaker 1: <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ. Mack and
- 0:28Speaker 1: Bone with you. Cruising along through the final hour. We
- 0:31Speaker 1: will let you hear the montage of Misery one more time.
- 0:34Speaker 1: Played it in the 7 o'clock hour. Rave reviews, of course.
- 0:38Speaker 1: It's not that hard, Bone, to impress our audience by
- 0:41Speaker 1: finding clips of angry, desperate, and sad Falcons fans and
- 0:46Speaker 1: then just letting them rip.
- 0:48Speaker 2: Just letting them go, baby. We could have done a
- 0:51Speaker 2: six-hour one.
- 0:52Speaker 1: They are so bitter. Like, their quarterback situation has them
- 0:55Speaker 1: going crazy. Or some think Jack Strand is like the savior.
- 0:59Speaker 1: It's so funny.
- 1:00Speaker 3: It was the most miserable day yesterday the Falcons fans
- 1:03Speaker 3: have had since Sunday.
- 1:06Speaker 2: All right.
- 1:06Speaker 1: So before we get out of here, either like right
- 1:08Speaker 1: after Stroh or we'll just do it, Bone, you know,
- 1:11Speaker 1: leading off the final set, wherever we can kind of
- 1:13Speaker 1: fit it in best. But know that coming up here
- 1:15Speaker 1: in about the next 15 minutes or so, if you
- 1:18Speaker 1: want to hear Atlanta misery, I know they had their
- 1:19Speaker 1: loser radio yesterday, KB and Smoke. But if you want
- 1:22Speaker 1: to hear a little bit more misery from from Atlanta,
- 1:26Speaker 1: check it out. Montage of misery coming up before we
- 1:28Speaker 1: get out of here one more time. Right now, let's
- 1:31Speaker 1: bring in somebody.
- 1:32Speaker 2: She's happy. She's not miserable, all right?
- 1:33Speaker 1: Now, maybe she was miserable like us after being at
- 1:36Speaker 1: the Panthers-Bears game, but it's a whole new weak bone,
- 1:39Speaker 1: and the defense made a 56-point improvement. The offense continues
- 1:44Speaker 1: to put up 30 burgers, and Bryce Young continues to
- 1:46Speaker 1: ball out, and we'll talk about that. Plus, we got
- 1:49Speaker 1: NASCAR drama at Bristol we need to talk about with
- 1:51Speaker 1: Ashley Strohlein. It's time for the Stroh Show. Hey, Stroh,
- 1:54Speaker 1: what's going on?
- 1:55Speaker 2: How you doing?
- 1:56Speaker 4: Good morning, guys. You're sounding real happy for a Tuesday here.
- 1:59Speaker 2: Heck yeah. These winning weeks hit different, Stro. A little
- 2:03Speaker 2: sore today, Stro? I don't know if you're aware we
- 2:05Speaker 2: had to dance yesterday.
- 2:08Speaker 4: Oh, I'm aware because I saw and I've got a
- 2:11Speaker 4: lot of questions.
- 2:13Speaker 3: You mean like how did we become so talented type questions?
- 2:19Speaker 2: I do have lower leg tightness today.
- 2:20Speaker 4: Shout out to Dolly. And two has Fitty's girl. I
- 2:24Speaker 4: need the update on that because we didn't get a talk.
- 2:26Speaker 4: last week like did has she seen i saw some
- 2:29Speaker 4: comments like people were wondering if she's seen the video
- 2:32Speaker 4: so i'm just you know asking the hard-hitting.
- 2:35Speaker 2: Questions oh definitely it's a great question she.
- 2:37Speaker 5: Has seen the footage and she sent me a text
- 2:40Speaker 5: in all caps simply with the word hot.
- 2:44Speaker 2: You talk about you or the other people involved.
- 2:48Speaker 6: Yes.
- 2:49Speaker 2: We all look good, including Boomer.
- 2:52Speaker 1: It was a legit question from people on Twitter, Stroh. Like, okay,
- 2:56Speaker 1: he's got this new sweetheart. They've been like, he's had
- 2:59Speaker 1: so many dates now, I can't even keep track. Six, seven,
- 3:01Speaker 1: something like that. I don't even know. But Stroh, it's
- 3:04Speaker 1: a legit question. How would she react to that? If
- 3:06Speaker 1: that was her reaction, Fitty may have found a good match.
- 3:11Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 3:12Speaker 4: If that's what he got back, I mean, it might
- 3:15Speaker 4: be a soulmate. I don't know.
- 3:17Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. Not every woman would be like
- 3:20Speaker 2: hot to that.
- 3:20Speaker 3: It was also my girlfriend's first victory dance. She's seen
- 3:24Speaker 3: the previous ones. That's her first time since we started dating.
- 3:29Speaker 3: And all she sent me was laughing emojis and then.
- 3:32Speaker 3: there were no further words exchanged about it. That's probably
- 3:34Speaker 3: a better reaction.
- 3:35Speaker 1: That is probably a better, whereas my, my wife Stroh says,
- 3:38Speaker 1: did you not get some new dance moves this season?
- 3:40Speaker 2: It's still the same old crap.
- 3:42Speaker 1: So that's, that's, that's a different levels of relationship reactions.
- 3:46Speaker 5: Right.
- 3:46Speaker 2: That's true.
- 3:48Speaker 4: Different stages of where we're at. Yes.
- 3:51Speaker 1: What did you think Stroh about the Panthers performance this week?
- 3:57Speaker 2: It's one ugly one. It's one blowout win.
- 4:01Speaker 1: But the common denominator is in both games, Bryce Young
- 4:04Speaker 1: played amazing. How are you feeling about all things Panthers
- 4:07Speaker 1: right now?
- 4:09Speaker 6: Well, I'm most happy for you guys because I just
- 4:13Speaker 6: feel like you're so happy right now that it makes
- 4:15Speaker 6: me happy. You got to get in like us. But
- 4:18Speaker 6: it's week two, so, I mean, I know you're ready
- 4:23Speaker 6: for the next one. And I think it's great to
- 4:26Speaker 6: see Bryce Young in the office. And it's something– I
- 4:29Speaker 6: have seen all the comments on social where it's like
- 4:32Speaker 6: there's something about Bryce in Atlanta. Like he always– Oh,
- 4:35Speaker 6: big time. Figures out down there. And so I don't
- 4:37Speaker 6: know what's going on with him in ATL, but it's
- 4:40Speaker 6: a good place for him to play.
- 4:42Speaker 4: And just nice to see– that's kind of what we
- 4:45Speaker 4: were talking about, Before the season, how did teams– week one,
- 4:51Speaker 4: it's about you. What product are you going to put
- 4:53Speaker 4: out there? Week two, okay, how do you adjust that
- 4:56Speaker 4: and how do you get better from that? So good
- 4:58Speaker 4: to see them in the win column and everybody smiling
- 5:01Speaker 4: and happy in Carolina.
- 5:04Speaker 3: Are you buying in that this offense is the real deal?
- 5:06Speaker 3: Do you need to see more? What's your thoughts offensively
- 5:10Speaker 3: of how good this offense can be?
- 5:14Speaker 4: Yeah, I think let's see one more game and we'll
- 5:17Speaker 4: talk about it. We've got two opposite, not with the offense,
- 5:20Speaker 4: but we've got two opposite ends of the spectrum here.
- 5:23Speaker 4: We had a rough week one loss, and then we've
- 5:28Speaker 4: got this week two win. So let's get a little
- 5:31Speaker 4: bit more into the season. But, you know, it's funny.
- 5:34Speaker 4: My old mentor and sports director, Delano Little, called me
- 5:38Speaker 4: to talk about the Panthers yesterday, and he was like,
- 5:41Speaker 4: I don't get to do this anymore because, you know,
- 5:43Speaker 4: I'm not on TV anymore, but I'm excited about the Panthers.
- 5:46Speaker 4: And I was like, whoa, okay, D-Man. So even he's
- 5:50Speaker 4: hype about what he saw this week.
- 5:52Speaker 2: I like it, Stroh. So next week, you said, give
- 5:54Speaker 2: you one more week.
- 5:55Speaker 1: Next week, if the Panthers win, I will be presenting
- 5:58Speaker 1: you with another application to join the 10-win club, Stroh.
- 6:01Speaker 1: All right?
- 6:01Speaker 2: It'll be the 14th time.
- 6:03Speaker 1: I will have tried. Um, let's, let's see here. Uh,
- 6:07Speaker 1: we got to ask you about the NASCAR drama. Um,
- 6:10Speaker 1: because I thought, first of all, I thought the racing
- 6:13Speaker 1: at Bristol was some of the best I've seen. The
- 6:15Speaker 1: short tracks have been struggling with this new car and man,
- 6:19Speaker 1: I thought that was vintage Bristol. I thought the racing
- 6:22Speaker 1: down the stretch was amazing. You have hosts, you have
- 6:25Speaker 1: hosts of our getting into Blaney during that whole thing.
- 6:28Speaker 1: You um, uh, under a blanket, you have Joey Logano
- 6:32Speaker 1: going from fourth to first and then winning it. Um,
- 6:35Speaker 1: I thought it was great. What did you think about
- 6:38Speaker 1: the drama Stroh? I know, you know, Ryan Blaney pretty well.
- 6:41Speaker 1: I don't know how, you know, how well, you know,
- 6:42Speaker 1: host of our, but Blaney went over there, gave, you know,
- 6:47Speaker 1: gave him a little shove. And next thing, you know,
- 6:49Speaker 1: host of ours firing, uh, punches. What did you think
- 6:52Speaker 1: of that whole scene?
- 6:54Speaker 4: Well, you know, I had college football on Saturday. I
- 6:57Speaker 4: had the game in Knoxville at Tennessee and we had
- 6:59Speaker 4: a late kick. And so I didn't get a chance
- 7:02Speaker 4: to watch the race, but I get in the car
- 7:04Speaker 4: after and we're all going back to the hotel. And
- 7:07Speaker 4: the first thing I see is Oh, my God, a fight.
- 7:11Speaker 2: Oh, my God, it's Blaine.
- 7:12Speaker 4: I was like, what is happening? And then my mom,
- 7:16Speaker 4: she was obviously watching my game, but she was watching
- 7:18Speaker 4: the race, too. And she's like, did you see Blaine?
- 7:21Speaker 4: He got in a fight. And I'm like, oh, goodness.
- 7:23Speaker 4: And so, boy, that was something. But that's Bristol, right?
- 7:27Speaker 4: And I appreciate it. I don't know if you've seen it.
- 7:29Speaker 4: He went on Diddy Hamlin's podcast yesterday, and it came out. And,
- 7:34Speaker 4: you know, I like RBs. stance on, I'm going to
- 7:37Speaker 4: take accountability. I'm going to call it like it is.
- 7:39Speaker 4: Like I'm not, you know, and I thought he was
- 7:41Speaker 4: just really much honest in the situation of, yeah, well,
- 7:45Speaker 4: we're all kind of fed up with Carson. And I
- 7:47Speaker 4: had something I wanted to say and that hold my
- 7:50Speaker 4: phone and didn't have a plan after that. And I
- 7:53Speaker 4: ate a two piece.
- 7:54Speaker 2: And so I think that was a great line.
- 7:57Speaker 4: It was so good. I appreciate him just saying, you
- 8:00Speaker 4: know what, let's go ahead and talk about it. And, yeah,
- 8:02Speaker 4: I got a little bit of a shiner today.
- 8:03Speaker 1: He also admitted, too. Yeah, he admitted, I got my
- 8:06Speaker 1: butt beat. I took a two-piece to the face. Then
- 8:08Speaker 1: he also admitted that he was mad at the moment,
- 8:11Speaker 1: but the more thinking of it, re-watching it, he says
- 8:14Speaker 1: it was 50-50. He said, you know, he kind of
- 8:17Speaker 1: took half the blame. So he came across as really
- 8:20Speaker 1: mature and classy. So you know who didn't like it?
- 8:23Speaker 2: It's Fitty.
- 8:24Speaker 4: Fitty.
- 8:24Speaker 6: Okay.
- 8:26Speaker 1: But Finney wanted him to, like, still be angry. Is
- 8:30Speaker 1: that what it was, Finney? Like, you wanted him to, like, still...
- 8:33Speaker 1: You wanted him to, like, hate hosts of Arsenal.
- 8:35Speaker 4: Yes.
- 8:35Speaker 2: Don't try to... Hate is good for the sport.
- 8:39Speaker 6: Just....
- 8:41Speaker 5: And he only regretted it because Carson gave him a two-piece.
- 8:47Speaker 5: If Carson doesn't land those two punches, he doesn't regret
- 8:50Speaker 5: doing what he's doing. I don't know about that.
- 8:51Speaker 2: He got embarrassed. He tried to be that guy up
- 8:55Speaker 2: on his ass.
- 8:56Speaker 4: And the way he got back up, I was cracking up.
- 8:59Speaker 4: I don't know if it was Denny that said it.
- 9:01Speaker 4: He was like a running back going through there, like
- 9:03Speaker 4: back underneath all the people.
- 9:04Speaker 2: How'd he get back? How'd he get back there? He
- 9:06Speaker 2: got back through the crew guys somewhere.
- 9:08Speaker 1: Matter of fact, if Brooks misses time, Blaney might be
- 9:11Speaker 1: able to play a little backup running back for us.
- 9:14Speaker 3: Stroh, there's a thought that if you're going to grow
- 9:16Speaker 3: that mustache, you can't lose the fight.
- 9:17Speaker 2: Do you agree with that?
- 9:20Speaker 4: You guys love the mustache question.
- 9:22Speaker 2: It's all we see. It's his face.
- 9:25Speaker 4: But I'll say this, Carson is obviously fairly tall. I don't,
- 9:28Speaker 4: you guys haven't, I don't know if you've ever met him,
- 9:30Speaker 4: but you know, he's, he's a pretty tall dude. So
- 9:32Speaker 4: the wingspan he had to get the right hook there,
- 9:37Speaker 4: it was, you know, Ryan was at a disadvantage.
- 9:40Speaker 1: What is Stro breaking down? Like if Stro is like
- 9:42Speaker 1: the fight, Dr. Ferdie Pacheco breaking down the boxing match.
- 9:45Speaker 1: That is tremendous. Oh my goodness. So you were in
- 9:48Speaker 1: Knoxville over there. Was that your first time doing a
- 9:51Speaker 1: sideline game in Knoxville or no?
- 9:53Speaker 4: It was my second, but it's been a couple years.
- 9:55Speaker 4: So I was happy.
- 9:56Speaker 2: To be back.
- 9:57Speaker 1: Do you like, like, what are your thoughts on Nike? Like,
- 10:01Speaker 1: that is a college town I've never been to. I've
- 10:02Speaker 1: never been to a game there. Like, what's it all,
- 10:04Speaker 1: what's the experience like? What do you think?
- 10:07Speaker 2: Do you like that joint?
- 10:09Speaker 4: Yeah, it made me kind of want to, I was like,
- 10:11Speaker 4: should I take a year off and come back to school? Like,
- 10:13Speaker 4: this is kind of fun. I like the downtown area.
- 10:17Speaker 4: It's very fun. small town feel. And for me, you know,
- 10:20Speaker 4: it's kind of like same region and area that I
- 10:22Speaker 4: grew up in. So it felt kind of homey. And
- 10:26Speaker 4: I just think that the staff there is so nice
- 10:28Speaker 4: and welcoming and appreciate Bill and all the guys there
- 10:33Speaker 4: that set up everything for us and that I get
- 10:35Speaker 4: to work with. And, you know, we get to have
- 10:36Speaker 4: our coaches meetings in the Peyton Manning room. So you
- 10:39Speaker 4: get to see all that memorabilia. I do hate to
- 10:42Speaker 4: say there is some stuff from super bowl 50 in.
- 10:44Speaker 1: There, but no, you should have said, could you throw
- 10:46Speaker 1: that next time you're there? Take that stuff, throw it
- 10:48Speaker 1: out for us, please.
- 10:50Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 10:50Speaker 4: I'll never be back.
- 10:52Speaker 2: Oh my goodness.
- 10:53Speaker 4: It's a great experience. The atmosphere. I mean, I, that's
- 10:56Speaker 4: the one thing I, I really can get an appreciation
- 10:59Speaker 4: for is when I'm on the field and I get
- 11:02Speaker 4: to see the fan base and what the players get to,
- 11:05Speaker 4: you know, run out to and play in front of
- 11:07Speaker 4: every weekend um i just think knoxville does it right
- 11:10Speaker 4: and big time game there this.
- 11:13Speaker 3: Weekend texas this week you know what steve spur here
- 11:15Speaker 3: would say about uh stroh's trip to knoxville yep you
- 11:18Speaker 3: should have gone to the phil former room some people
- 11:20Speaker 3: call that the cafeteria.
- 11:23Speaker 1: Thank you ball coach i appreciate that i appreciate that
- 11:27Speaker 1: um all right myself on that one all right stroh
- 11:29Speaker 1: what's your game you got a game this week stroh.
- 11:33Speaker 4: Yes, I head to Tallahassee for Central Arkansas at Florida State.
- 11:38Speaker 2: All right, there you go.
- 11:40Speaker 1: All right, well, watch out for flying objects that are
- 11:43Speaker 1: aimed for Mike Norvell, all right?
- 11:45Speaker 2: Just a heads up, Stroh.
- 11:48Speaker 4: Well, we're going to hope for a dub. You know,
- 11:50Speaker 4: this is his former team. He played there, so it
- 11:53Speaker 4: should be– hopefully it will bring some good vibes for him.
- 11:57Speaker 1: He could definitely use it, although they look so good, Bone,
- 11:59Speaker 1: for about a quarter and a half. 21-6 up against Bama,
- 12:03Speaker 1: and then they get routed. All right, Stroh, hey, we
- 12:05Speaker 1: appreciate you coming on. As always, it's fun. Fitty's relationship
- 12:09Speaker 1: is thriving, even while he does shirtless victory dances in
- 12:12Speaker 1: a bra.
- 12:14Speaker 2: And if they can overcome that together, they can overcome anything,
- 12:16Speaker 2: I feel like. together.
- 12:18Speaker 4: I need like a full-time update on, on city. You
- 12:22Speaker 4: guys can text me, but should we start, like, should
- 12:24Speaker 4: we reach out to, you know, the Teppers and try
- 12:27Speaker 4: and get an on-field proposal at a game this season
- 12:30Speaker 4: set up? Is that the move?
- 12:32Speaker 2: I don't know. That would be big for you, man.
- 12:36Speaker 1: You know, during a timeout or something, you're proposing at
- 12:38Speaker 1: the stadium, Panther Finney.
- 12:42Speaker 2: End the interview.
- 12:43Speaker 6: I don't know.
- 12:44Speaker 2: I don't like that answer. Oh, that didn't go well.
- 12:47Speaker 2: All right. All right, Stro. We'll talk to you next week.
