0:36
Speaker 1: great podcast to listen to if you want your hornets fix.
0:39
Speaker 1: We're all trying to figure out what's next, what's the plan.
0:42
Speaker 1: We'll talk to Richie Randall about that coming up at
0:45
Speaker 1: seven twenty five. The Bone Man is out has a
0:48
Speaker 1: personal situation. So it is me and the Fit Dog
0:53
Speaker 1: today holding it down. Next week it'll be Bone and Fitty.
0:57
Speaker 1: I will be on vacation. We will be crueh. That's
1:03
Speaker 1: all I got. I don't know the rest of the song,
1:04
Speaker 1: but anyway, we will be cruising to the Caribbean as
1:07
Speaker 1: a family, with my wife's family, and I'm sure Fitty
1:11
Speaker 1: that everybody will enjoy everybody's company for the entire week
1:16
Speaker 1: at sea.
1:17
Speaker 2: Yeah.
1:17
Speaker 3: Looking forward to, uh to have you gone for a week?
1:21
Speaker 3: Looking forward to well, but only because because I get
1:23
Speaker 3: to spend the week with Rocket and Bacon too.
1:26
Speaker 1: Oh. Yeah, fitty dog sitting again to.
1:28
Speaker 3: Uh to two of my favorite dogs to come in
1:30
Speaker 3: and hang hang out with. And you know, I might,
1:35
Speaker 3: I might send missus Mac a text or two about
1:38
Speaker 3: some of your behaviors and maybe she can punish you
1:40
Speaker 3: while y'all are uh.
1:41
Speaker 1: Well, the good thing is we can't. We won't be
1:43
Speaker 1: getting any text once we get out there. We are
1:46
Speaker 1: we are. We are free from the outside world. So
1:51
Speaker 1: for better or for worse. But anyway, all right, let's
1:53
Speaker 1: focus on Bryce here, because last hour I kept telling everybody,
1:56
Speaker 1: let's hold off, let's hold off on the big Bryce
1:59
Speaker 1: Young conversation until this hour. Let's get into it right now.
2:04
Speaker 1: So for those of you that are just tuning in,
2:06
Speaker 1: you did not hear me, read off what Albert Breer
2:11
Speaker 1: wrote about Bryce Young. Albert Breer wrote this from s
2:16
Speaker 1: I wrote this about Bryce Young. The Panthers look poised
2:19
Speaker 1: to head into the fourth year of Bryce Young's contracts,
2:22
Speaker 1: and it is, to be clear, a critical one for
2:24
Speaker 1: everyone involved. They've exercised his fifth year option for twenty
2:27
Speaker 1: twenty seven at twenty five point nine million. But if
2:30
Speaker 1: Young doesn't look like the kind of guy the team
2:33
Speaker 1: would want to invest a deal at more than fifty
2:36
Speaker 1: million per year into this fall, then Carolina will become
2:40
Speaker 1: a suitor for a quarterback next spring. We had the
2:44
Speaker 1: text from Ac where he's like, man, if he can't
2:47
Speaker 1: clear the vegas over under of one hundred and ninety
2:49
Speaker 1: two yards per game three thy seventy four yards, you
2:53
Speaker 1: can't give him a contract, can you. I'm not sure.
2:56
Speaker 1: It just it boils down. First of all, yes, I
2:58
Speaker 1: would hope that this offense improves, and I would hope
3:03
Speaker 1: he improves enough where he can you know, that's only
3:05
Speaker 1: sixty three yards more than last year, in a year
3:07
Speaker 1: that was inconsistent. But I'm not sure. I don't know
3:10
Speaker 1: if I'm looking at cold hard stats, I'm using the
3:13
Speaker 1: eye test. I am looking to see more consistency. Like
3:17
Speaker 1: I said in the first hour, FITTI, if we're gonna
3:19
Speaker 1: pay Bryce, I better not be on here next summer, saying, well,
3:22
Speaker 1: if you look at Bryce in the last seven games
3:24
Speaker 1: of the season, like you know what I mean, we
3:26
Speaker 1: shouldn't have to do the qualifiers anymore. We should be
3:30
Speaker 1: able to look at his entire season and yeh, there'll
3:32
Speaker 1: be a couple of bad games, a couple of off games,
3:35
Speaker 1: not every game will be the same. But last year
3:37
Speaker 1: I was reading, you know, PFF talking about Bryce and
3:40
Speaker 1: their quarterback rankings. Last year he had five games with
3:44
Speaker 1: seventy eight or higher grades, really good numbers, but he
3:48
Speaker 1: also had five games with fifty two or lower. Like
3:51
Speaker 1: it's it's too many highs and lows for Bryce's performance.
3:56
Speaker 1: That's got to change. So and I want to ask you,
3:59
Speaker 1: and I want to ask call Panther fans, like, first
4:01
Speaker 1: of all, when you hear that number, Albert Brier put
4:04
Speaker 1: a number on it. I don't know how accurate what
4:06
Speaker 1: he's saying and will end up being, but he's basically saying,
4:09
Speaker 1: Panther's going to give this a fifty million dollar test.
4:12
Speaker 1: If he ain't worth us paying fifty million dollars or
4:14
Speaker 1: more year than he ain't our guy, what do you
4:18
Speaker 1: need to see? And some of you might be texting
4:20
Speaker 1: right now saying Bryce Young can do nothing that will
4:24
Speaker 1: make me think he's worth fifty million dollars. Some of
4:26
Speaker 1: you might be saying that, what do you think, because
4:28
Speaker 1: that's a lot of day of money. What do you
4:31
Speaker 1: think only twelve quarterbacks make that? What do you think,
4:34
Speaker 1: Fitty like he has to do to where you'll be
4:36
Speaker 1: backing pay Bryce fifty million plus Mack.
4:39
Speaker 3: I think if we're in the fifty million dollar price
4:43
Speaker 3: range for Bryce Young and getting a long term extension,
4:46
Speaker 3: and we're no longer talking about if he's the quarterback
4:49
Speaker 3: of the franchise moving forward.
4:51
Speaker 2: I think two things happen.
4:52
Speaker 3: I think they win the division, and they win the division,
4:55
Speaker 3: not back their way into it, like they win it
4:58
Speaker 3: by a game or two.
5:00
Speaker 2: They win it with the winning record.
5:01
Speaker 3: And I would say they win at least two playoff
5:03
Speaker 3: games if we're talking fifty dollars. And I just while
5:09
Speaker 3: I would love to achieve that I've got this team
5:12
Speaker 3: going eleven and six, that's not my expectation for for
5:16
Speaker 3: this season. Like my expectation is to repeat his division champs,
5:21
Speaker 3: but repeat with the winning record, to host a playoff game,
5:25
Speaker 3: and to win a playoff game, and then whatever happens
5:28
Speaker 3: in the divisional round happens, and the and And.
5:30
Speaker 1: You think it's a team thing, You think it's purely
5:33
Speaker 1: a team thing, forget about his individual stats. Yes, as
5:37
Speaker 1: you think it comes down to you, and you might
5:40
Speaker 1: be right. I think that I think it'll be a
5:41
Speaker 1: little of both, But I find it hard to believe
5:44
Speaker 1: if they advance, if they win a playoff game, if
5:47
Speaker 1: they if they win ten games, win the division, win
5:50
Speaker 1: a playoff game, I find it hard. I don't know.
5:56
Speaker 1: I think he'll probably get paid. It's I think he
5:59
Speaker 1: will get paid bad if they do that. If they
6:01
Speaker 1: see that kind of progress as a team, I think
6:04
Speaker 1: he's going to get paid. I'm not sure they're very
6:07
Speaker 1: worried about stats. We are all worried about stats. The
6:10
Speaker 1: media is worried about Bryce's stats. You said in the
6:13
Speaker 1: first hour. I think the way they want to play,
6:16
Speaker 1: first of all, the way they build up the defense.
6:18
Speaker 1: They want to have a wagon on defense. I think Dan,
6:22
Speaker 1: let's put it this way, Dan Morgan wants to play
6:25
Speaker 1: the panther football that has won in the past YEP,
6:28
Speaker 1: whether it was his teams with John Fox or whether
6:30
Speaker 1: it was the cam Luke teams with Ron Rivera. They
6:33
Speaker 1: want to play defense and run the football, and then
6:36
Speaker 1: they want to throw off that running game. And that's
6:39
Speaker 1: how I think. So I don't think they are pressed
6:42
Speaker 1: with about the counting stats as much as a lot
6:44
Speaker 1: of people are with Bryce.
6:46
Speaker 2: I don't think they are either.
6:47
Speaker 3: Would it be is it sexy or Mac to talk
6:50
Speaker 3: about an offense that averages twenty eight points per game,
6:54
Speaker 3: that throws for two hundred and eighty yards a game
6:57
Speaker 3: that is winning shootouts on a week in, week out basis,
7:01
Speaker 3: that's that might be a lot more fun, it might
7:04
Speaker 3: be a lot more sexier to the average fan. But
7:08
Speaker 3: that's not the way they've built this roster. They have
7:11
Speaker 3: built this roster to win games twenty one to seventeen,
7:15
Speaker 3: to win games twenty four to twenty. Yeah, where Bryce
7:18
Speaker 3: is managing the game because they can run it whenever
7:22
Speaker 3: they want to, and the defense is in giving up
7:25
Speaker 3: points left and right, and when the when the game
7:28
Speaker 3: comes down to the fourth quarter, they trust that he's
7:30
Speaker 3: going to make those plays.
7:32
Speaker 1: Yes, and guess and guess what he has.
7:34
Speaker 2: Done the majority of the when the Panthers have won.
7:37
Speaker 2: What has happened. It is usually Bryce Young engineering.
7:40
Speaker 1: In crunch time in the fourth quarter and man, by
7:43
Speaker 1: the way, he could have so he has the most
7:46
Speaker 1: fourth quarter game winning drives and fourth quarter comebacks in
7:50
Speaker 1: the league since he came into the league. And he
7:52
Speaker 1: could have more. Think about uh, the year.
7:56
Speaker 2: Where Kansas City, Philadelphia.
7:58
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay those games right, like, he did enough to
8:01
Speaker 1: win but we didn't pull him off, and then last
8:04
Speaker 1: year the Rams game, he could have he did. I
8:06
Speaker 1: thought enough to win a playoff game against one of
8:10
Speaker 1: the best teams in the NFL, and the defense let
8:13
Speaker 1: him down. I think their thinking is by going out
8:16
Speaker 1: and getting I remember the day we came on the
8:19
Speaker 1: air that Monday after the playoff loss. I remember coming
8:22
Speaker 1: on the air and saying we need and I'm not
8:25
Speaker 1: saying I said anything anybody else wouldn't say it, but
8:27
Speaker 1: I remember watching that game thinking you need an edge rusher,
8:31
Speaker 1: so you don't have to blitz to get pressure. Everybody
8:33
Speaker 1: was like zero vero blitz. We shouldn't have to blitz
8:36
Speaker 1: to be the only way to get pressure. They went
8:37
Speaker 1: out and got Jalen Phillips. I remember saying that middle
8:40
Speaker 1: of the field got attacked by Stafford relentlessly. Get me
8:44
Speaker 1: a damn linebacker that can drop in coverage and doesn't
8:47
Speaker 1: have the balls zing past his ear hole when he's
8:49
Speaker 1: trying to cover the middle of the field. And they
8:51
Speaker 1: went out and got that too. So I think we
8:55
Speaker 1: know the way they're looking to win, and we know
8:56
Speaker 1: what they're looking to do. So I'm not sure that
8:59
Speaker 1: they care as much about the big counting stats as
9:02
Speaker 1: we do with Bryce Young. I want to know from
9:04
Speaker 1: you guys, as Panther fans, when Albert Brier says, hey,
9:06
Speaker 1: they're gonna watch Bryce Young, and if they see him
9:09
Speaker 1: as a quarterback worth fifty million dollars, the more they're
9:11
Speaker 1: gonna pay them per year, they're gonna pay him. If not,
9:13
Speaker 1: they're gonna move on. Seven oh four, five, seven oh nine,
9:16
Speaker 1: six ten. This texture says, let's see here, we got
9:19
Speaker 1: a lot of textters. I shouldn't say this texter, says
9:21
Speaker 1: jameson Maiden's text about Duke basketball. This man needs a hobby.
9:25
Speaker 1: This man needs a damn hobby and another sport to call.
9:28
Speaker 2: Fil my God.
9:30
Speaker 1: I know they're gonna be good, but then you, I mean,
9:33
Speaker 1: like Mike, you got so Duke's season doesn't start until
9:37
Speaker 1: you get to like the second or maybe even third
9:39
Speaker 1: weekend of the NCAA tournament. James, so you're sitting here
9:41
Speaker 1: in July talking about it. But anyway, let's go to
9:44
Speaker 1: some of these texts that are actually about football. Seven
9:47
Speaker 1: oh four, five, seven oh nine, six ten. If you
9:49
Speaker 1: want to jump in here, this dude says, the reason
9:52
Speaker 1: they're trying to build that way, winning with defense and
9:55
Speaker 1: running game is because they're trying to build around Bryce.
9:58
Speaker 1: If they had an actual quarterback can win with his arm,
10:01
Speaker 1: they would do that, Oh my god. Or maybe because
10:05
Speaker 1: Dan Morgan knows the history of Panther football was a
10:08
Speaker 1: part of it and knows that's the recipe that we've
10:10
Speaker 1: won with. And Dan Morgan in Seattle that was the
10:13
Speaker 1: recipe they won with when he was in Seattle, and
10:15
Speaker 1: Coach Canalis in Seattle two.
10:17
Speaker 3: Yeah, like right, the organization for the first time in
10:22
Speaker 3: the David Tepper era, I do feel like has an identity.
10:27
Speaker 2: They know who they want to be.
10:30
Speaker 3: At the end of the ron that they kind of lost,
10:32
Speaker 3: you know what they were was because of the injuries.
10:34
Speaker 3: They never found their footing under Matt rule, Frank Reich
10:38
Speaker 3: aged like a US president, so they never had an
10:40
Speaker 3: identity there. Since since Canalis and Morgan have shown up.
10:44
Speaker 1: Hold on ninety two. This man just said US president's
10:48
Speaker 1: age badly ninety two. That can't be the case.
10:51
Speaker 2: I love them except me.
10:52
Speaker 3: I'm aging perfectly fine, asked the doctor. The bruising on
10:56
Speaker 3: my hands should not be concerning, or when I fall
10:59
Speaker 3: asleep in these big global meetings, I'm just spaking it.
11:04
Speaker 2: I'm just faking it. We know who they want to
11:08
Speaker 2: be mac. And here's the thing.
11:12
Speaker 3: When they've gotten into the situations where they've had to
11:16
Speaker 3: let Bryce lose and we're throwing the football down the field.
11:21
Speaker 3: I e the win last year at Atlanta when he
11:23
Speaker 3: put up a franchise record in terms of passing yards. Yeah,
11:26
Speaker 3: Rams regular season, Yeah, Rams, regular season. Guess what Bryce
11:29
Speaker 3: showed they he could win that way as well.
11:31
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, and I don't know if you heard
11:32
Speaker 1: fitty number one rated graded deep passing quarterback in the
11:36
Speaker 1: NFL last year, Bryce Young. I don't know if you've
11:39
Speaker 1: heard that, Bagel guy you're on the text line. Have
11:41
Speaker 1: you heard me say that once or twice? But anyway,
11:43
Speaker 1: you're so right about the downfield passing. That is one
11:46
Speaker 1: of the areas where it's like, I want to see
11:50
Speaker 1: them embrace it more. I wanted there were still games
11:55
Speaker 1: where with Canalis calling the players, and we'll see how
11:57
Speaker 1: different it is with Izac. Canalys is still right there,
11:59
Speaker 1: right have an input, but there are still games where
12:02
Speaker 1: it got too conservative for me. I think of the
12:04
Speaker 1: Niners game. Niners game felt like they were so conservative
12:08
Speaker 1: and played scared and the defense is given them the
12:10
Speaker 1: ball back constantly. And by the way, they finally got
12:14
Speaker 1: down by a ton in the second half and said,
12:17
Speaker 1: what the hell, let's throw it downfield. And Bryce hits
12:19
Speaker 1: Temac for a touchdown in that game. So last year,
12:22
Speaker 1: this was on PFF yesterday. Last year, the Panthers went
12:25
Speaker 1: five and two when Bryce Young completed multiple passes that
12:28
Speaker 1: traveled twenty air yards. When he didn't, they went three
12:31
Speaker 1: and seven. And I already told you his grade was
12:34
Speaker 1: number one. His accuracy adjusted accuracy number was number one
12:38
Speaker 1: on deep balls. So common sense would tell you, if
12:42
Speaker 1: he is doing that well throwing deep balls and your
12:44
Speaker 1: team does that much better when he completes multiple deep balls,
12:47
Speaker 1: to throw more deep balls. And I am begging the
12:50
Speaker 1: Panthers again. I agree with you on the run game
12:52
Speaker 1: in the defense, but the run run game. Remember the
12:55
Speaker 1: Panthers in twenty fifteen, who doesn't right, We've only brought
12:58
Speaker 1: them up four zillion times since wanting them to repeat
13:02
Speaker 1: that that team ran it and played defense. But what
13:05
Speaker 1: did they do off the play action cam chucked a
13:07
Speaker 1: deep a ton that season, a lot of big chunk plays,
13:10
Speaker 1: So I think that deep play action pass has got
13:13
Speaker 1: to be a part of it, and I will grade
13:15
Speaker 1: Bryce on that and the Panthers on that. How but
13:17
Speaker 1: you got to give him more chances to get the
13:19
Speaker 1: ball downfield. And he's got to let it rip more too.
13:22
Speaker 1: There are times where maybe he's turning it down. You
13:24
Speaker 1: got to He's got to let it ript more as well.
13:27
Speaker 4: Man.
13:27
Speaker 1: But that's a big part of how all gray Bryce.
13:30
Speaker 1: How about this text, fitty fitty is not gonna like
13:32
Speaker 1: this one. Y'all are talking about Bryce Young's stats won't
13:35
Speaker 1: be big because we play run game in defense. Well,
13:38
Speaker 1: then why are you going to pay a quarterback fifty
13:41
Speaker 1: plus million dollars if he is not that key part
13:45
Speaker 1: of the team. What's your response to that, fitty?
13:48
Speaker 3: Well, because when you look at the intangibles, when you
13:52
Speaker 3: look at the clutch factor, we look at the fact
13:55
Speaker 3: that Bryce has emerged as a leader as the face
13:59
Speaker 3: of the franch mac this roster, this locker room plays
14:02
Speaker 3: for him.
14:03
Speaker 2: This locker room has his back.
14:06
Speaker 3: You know, we all got alarmed when Jadevian Clowney showed
14:09
Speaker 3: up and talked about how quiet he was and how
14:12
Speaker 3: he wasn't used to playing with a quiet quarterback. And look,
14:16
Speaker 3: I know we made a whole lot of the video
14:19
Speaker 3: back at OTAs of him dropping the F bomb.
14:24
Speaker 2: And not that I'm.
14:24
Speaker 3: Saying that cussing equals maturity, but what that show to
14:28
Speaker 3: me was a guy that has found his voice at
14:31
Speaker 3: the NFL level and is comfortable leading a locker room
14:34
Speaker 3: of men. He was able to do it at Alabama,
14:38
Speaker 3: you know, was a Heisman Trophy winner, took him to
14:40
Speaker 3: the National Championship game, got thrown into a really terrible
14:44
Speaker 3: situation here in Carolina where he got drafted where he
14:47
Speaker 3: didn't feel comfortable to lead, wasn't empowered to lead, even
14:52
Speaker 3: when Dave Canalis benched him, and it was the right
14:55
Speaker 3: decision to bench him because that Chargers game was bad.
14:59
Speaker 3: That was as poor quarterback play I've seen in that
15:02
Speaker 3: stadium since Brian Saint Pierre's ass came off came off
15:05
Speaker 3: the couch from changing diapers.
15:06
Speaker 1: Actually Saint Pierre, though Saint Pierre played way better than that.
15:09
Speaker 2: It wasn't that bad.
15:10
Speaker 1: And so he drops drops a couple of bombs to
15:13
Speaker 1: get us thought, and then he.
15:15
Speaker 2: Threw the pick six to Ed Reid.
15:16
Speaker 3: But a lot of people did that joined the club
15:19
Speaker 3: even that from that moment, it was still to see, Okay,
15:24
Speaker 3: can this guy respond? And he's responded, Mack. There's a
15:27
Speaker 3: toughness to this kid man, And I think that's why
15:30
Speaker 3: I find myself wanting to root for.
15:32
Speaker 1: Him, because you're a tough little nut. You Marcus Page
15:34
Speaker 1: and Bryce are tough little nuts. Damn sight.
15:37
Speaker 2: So is he ever gonna put up?
15:38
Speaker 1: Can I wrap you up? Fetty? You're always wrapping us up? Yeah,
15:42
Speaker 1: well you asked me.
15:43
Speaker 3: He's never gonna be Mahomes, He's never gonna be Allen,
15:46
Speaker 3: He's never gonna be Joe Burrow.
15:48
Speaker 2: But you can still pay the.
15:49
Speaker 1: Man, and you could still win with him. The PFF
15:52
Speaker 1: quarterback list where Bryce is twentieth, Sam Donald fourteenth, Jalen
15:57
Speaker 1: Hurts fifteenth. They both have won super Bowls. You don't
16:01
Speaker 1: need to have a top five quarterbacks. Matter of fact,
16:03
Speaker 1: it helps you pay the top five quarterback and then
16:06
Speaker 1: the roster declines. Look at Burrow, look at Alan. They're
16:11
Speaker 1: still trying to get one. So anyway, there's a lot
16:14
Speaker 1: to talk about there. We're gonna keep talking about it.
16:16
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a story we obsess over. We're already
16:19
Speaker 1: obsessing over it. I'll say this too. I don't have
16:21
Speaker 1: a huge issue if they play out his contract. I
16:26
Speaker 1: don't have a huge issue if they're still teetering next
16:29
Speaker 1: year on whether we pay them, if they take it
16:32
Speaker 1: to free agency. Now, that could end up costing you money,
16:34
Speaker 1: but I don't have an issue with that either. I
16:36
Speaker 1: am I am not in a hurry that some of
16:38
Speaker 1: y'all in the text line are to go quarterback searching.
16:41
Speaker 1: I find quarterback searching can be miserable when you don't
16:43
Speaker 1: have a quarterback. It's like Fitty trying to find a girlfriend.
16:46
Speaker 1: Like it is just horrible, no offense, Fitty, but like
16:50
Speaker 1: it's like you are searching and it is very difficult
16:54
Speaker 1: to find that person. They don't grow on trees, they
16:56
Speaker 1: don't sell. There's no quarterbacks are us store. So Ialy
17:00
Speaker 1: Bryce is the guy. But then again, you gotta watch
17:04
Speaker 1: what you pay somebody because you can't pay everybody around him.
17:07
Speaker 1: And that dude then needs to be better. So there's
17:09
Speaker 1: there's a lot going on there. There really is. By
17:13
Speaker 1: the way, shout out to Ted Win, the film guy
17:15
Speaker 1: at the Athletic he ranked five defenses. And yes, I
17:19
Speaker 1: know this is list season, and I know this is
17:21
Speaker 1: all the Football News. We got his lists, but work
17:23
Speaker 1: with us here, Ted Win or the athletic five defenses
17:26
Speaker 1: that are poised to make a jump this year and
17:29
Speaker 1: break out your Carolina Panthers on the list. So I
17:33
Speaker 1: salute Ted Win this fourth Ted Win. You have a
17:37
Speaker 1: great cookout this fourth of July weekend. Have a great
17:40
Speaker 1: damn cookout. All right, well we come back. Let's shift
17:43
Speaker 1: it up to the Hornets. We've all been asking what's next,
17:46
Speaker 1: what's Jeff Peterson's end game. Let's throw those questions at
17:50
Speaker 1: Richie Randall from the Buzzbeat podcast. He's coming up next.
17:54
Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety two seven WFNZ. Sports Radio ninety two
18:21
Speaker 1: seven WFNZ. We are here on fourth of July eve, baby,
18:26
Speaker 1: getting it done, the eve of the two hundred and
18:28
Speaker 1: fiftieth birthday of this beautiful country, America. You hold as
18:33
Speaker 1: hell man like. Seriously, America is so old fitting. We
18:36
Speaker 1: are way past, you know, eating dinner at four pm
18:39
Speaker 1: and watching Mattlocke reruns. You know what I mean. I
18:42
Speaker 1: got this straight fogie. But we're still going strong at
18:45
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty years of age. We've got random crap.
18:50
Speaker 1: We're gonna I know this just in We're gonna have
18:52
Speaker 1: some fun. I mean, we have some fun every day,
18:53
Speaker 1: but we got some fun stuff you're gonna laugh at today,
18:56
Speaker 1: including random crap that's coming up at seven forty five,
19:00
Speaker 1: but right now, nothing random, more crappy about this. We
19:04
Speaker 1: have to present and kick around the questions that all
19:07
Speaker 1: Hornets fans are discussing amongst themselves, and we're discussing on
19:10
Speaker 1: this show. What are they gonna do next? What's Jeff
19:13
Speaker 1: Peterson's plan? We know he has one, and there's something
19:16
Speaker 1: to be said for that. But let's now throw those
19:18
Speaker 1: questions at a man who has been kicking them around
19:21
Speaker 1: on his own podcast podcast, the popular Buzzbeat podcast about
19:26
Speaker 1: all things Charlotte Hornets. Richie Randall, a man simply known
19:30
Speaker 1: as Handles Randall, and if you've seen him handle the rock,
19:32
Speaker 1: you know why he is with us on the Mack
19:34
Speaker 1: and Bone Show. Ritchie, what's going on? Brother? Thanks for
19:37
Speaker 1: coming back on.
19:37
Speaker 4: Man, Thanks for having me.
19:40
Speaker 1: I appreciate it, appreciate you being here. So let's I mean,
19:44
Speaker 1: let's start here with just what's happened as far as
19:49
Speaker 1: the trades, I mean, what's your We've gotten a week removed,
19:52
Speaker 1: you know, plus remove from the LaMelo trade a few
19:56
Speaker 1: days away from the Miles trade. Do you feel different
20:00
Speaker 1: now than you did originally? You know about these trades?
20:04
Speaker 1: Have you changed your stance? A lot of fans seem
20:06
Speaker 1: like they've calmed down, but there's a lot of fans
20:08
Speaker 1: that are still as ticked as they were the day
20:10
Speaker 1: they found out, you know about Mellow.
20:13
Speaker 4: Yeah. I'm pretty even keeled, so I don't really get
20:15
Speaker 4: my emotions too high or too low based on these things.
20:19
Speaker 4: But I truly understand why fans are feeling the way
20:22
Speaker 4: that they were about LaMelo, just because of the fact
20:25
Speaker 4: that he is a talent, he's a personality, he's he's
20:29
Speaker 4: a player that people kind of gravitated towards, and really
20:32
Speaker 4: he kind of fell into Charlotte's lap when Wiseman was selected,
20:35
Speaker 4: you know, at the two overall pick, and he was
20:36
Speaker 4: selected number three. But I think my reasoning behind this
20:40
Speaker 4: and just kind of my overall thoughts about this, Yeah,
20:42
Speaker 4: it's changed a little bit, but not too much. You're
20:45
Speaker 4: trying to envision what Jeff Peterson is trying to do here,
20:49
Speaker 4: and I almost wonder how much Jeff Peterson, you know,
20:52
Speaker 4: didn't want this step to be skipped. He didn't know
20:55
Speaker 4: that this team was going to be so successful this
20:56
Speaker 4: past season, and it kind of put them in an
20:58
Speaker 4: odd position in terms of of, Okay, we need to
21:01
Speaker 4: build off of this success. But maybe in his eyes,
21:04
Speaker 4: he had no intention of being this good, and maybe
21:08
Speaker 4: he wanted to worry about next year and see where
21:10
Speaker 4: they could go from there. So the fans obviously are
21:13
Speaker 4: upset when they traded LaMelo because you know, he played
21:17
Speaker 4: so well, he was healthy. But I almost feel as
21:20
Speaker 4: if he feels as if Melo is not the answer
21:22
Speaker 4: moving forward. Maybe with his health, his style of play,
21:26
Speaker 4: other factors, it made sense for them to move him.
21:29
Speaker 4: And I think Jeff Peterson saw that. And you look
21:32
Speaker 4: at the playoffs and you just wonder, if LaMelo is
21:34
Speaker 4: built for a physical, drawn out series of six or
21:38
Speaker 4: seven l can you withstand that? So when you look
21:43
Speaker 4: at it from that point of view, you can kind
21:44
Speaker 4: of start to reason with it a little bit more.
21:46
Speaker 4: You've got some financial obligations coming up with Brandon Miller
21:49
Speaker 4: kN Kin Nipple, and yeah, you can argue about the
21:52
Speaker 4: optics of how it looks or argue over the return
21:55
Speaker 4: that they got in at trade, but they must have
21:57
Speaker 4: felt that this was the best package that they could
21:59
Speaker 4: have got, and they didn't want to risk maybe ruining
22:02
Speaker 4: his value if they went into next season with him
22:04
Speaker 4: and built off the success and then he got injured.
22:07
Speaker 1: But in terms of.
22:08
Speaker 4: Miles, Bridge is straight, like I that was just a
22:10
Speaker 4: long time coming, and once when Ball was traded, it
22:13
Speaker 4: just seems like that was the next Domino.
22:14
Speaker 1: Definitely, no doubt about it. And Richie, the fact that
22:17
Speaker 1: you're even keeled and you don't get too high or
22:19
Speaker 1: too low. You're on the perfect show because that's what
22:21
Speaker 1: all of us do here. Baby, you know what I mean.
22:23
Speaker 1: We are never gonna get too high too low? All right. No,
22:26
Speaker 1: I like a lot of what you said. A lot
22:28
Speaker 1: of what you said makes sense.
22:30
Speaker 2: I do.
22:31
Speaker 1: I think, I don't know. And we're going to talk
22:33
Speaker 1: about Jeff Peterson later because and like where fans are at,
22:37
Speaker 1: because there are some extremes talk about getting too high
22:40
Speaker 1: too low. There are some extremes that we that I've
22:42
Speaker 1: been seeing on our text liner on Twitter from fans
22:45
Speaker 1: where it's like, you know what I mean, this do
22:47
Speaker 1: better be if if we don't win the next two years,
22:48
Speaker 1: he better be fired. Like this guy had like almost
22:51
Speaker 1: one hundred percent approval rating from our fan base before
22:54
Speaker 1: these trades, And like the one thing that I like
22:57
Speaker 1: about like, you can't you have to acknowledge he has
23:00
Speaker 1: a plan and it's concocted and it's patient, and I
23:04
Speaker 1: at least respect a plan even if I wouldn't have
23:06
Speaker 1: traded LaMelo necessarily. I think, don't you think that fans
23:10
Speaker 1: should at least acknowledge that, unlike pass front offices, there
23:14
Speaker 1: is a plan here, even if we're a little impatient,
23:17
Speaker 1: there is a plan, right, Yeah.
23:20
Speaker 4: I guess we don't know exactly what is like behind
23:23
Speaker 4: his thinking and what the plan is. He's always stated
23:26
Speaker 4: that like he's not trying to skip steps. He's taking
23:29
Speaker 4: the patient approach. He doesn't want to be a one
23:31
Speaker 4: hit wonder where they make it to the playoffs for
23:33
Speaker 4: one year, they build off that success and they kind
23:35
Speaker 4: of go all in and then they realize they've got
23:37
Speaker 4: to blow it up in a year or two. So
23:38
Speaker 4: I think he's more about this, you know, sustained success
23:41
Speaker 4: over the course of five, six, seven years, and that's
23:44
Speaker 4: what he's trying to go for. And you look at
23:46
Speaker 4: all the moves around the NBA right now, there's a
23:48
Speaker 4: lot of movement, a lot of activity. It's going to
23:51
Speaker 4: be very hard for the show and Hornet's to build
23:53
Speaker 4: off that success coming into this season. Not to say
23:55
Speaker 4: that Jeff Peterson knew that these moves were going to
23:58
Speaker 4: be made, but you do have to give him the
24:00
Speaker 4: benefit of the doubt because it feels as if every
24:03
Speaker 4: move that he's made up until the LaMelo Ball trade,
24:06
Speaker 4: people have approved highly of everything that he's done, and
24:09
Speaker 4: so in the back of his mind, he clearly knows
24:11
Speaker 4: what he is trying to accomplish. I just think the optics,
24:14
Speaker 4: as I said before, because he played so well, it
24:18
Speaker 4: feels weird trading him this off season. But I can't
24:22
Speaker 4: really argue with the way that he's operated this organization.
24:25
Speaker 4: And honestly, they've brought some good players in as well,
24:28
Speaker 4: like Nasrie Grayson, Allen Royce O'Neil. They may not be
24:32
Speaker 4: as good as they were last year, but I don't
24:34
Speaker 4: necessarily feel like they're going to fall off too too much.
24:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with that last part, and listen, I am.
24:39
Speaker 1: I'm torn. Like there's a rational side of me that's
24:42
Speaker 1: trying to step back and just look at this, you know,
24:45
Speaker 1: kind of the way the National media is and they're
24:47
Speaker 1: falling all over you know, the Jeff Peterson moves. So
24:50
Speaker 1: I do see how rational is and I do feel like, oh,
24:53
Speaker 1: Jeff's gonna pounce with these assets at some point. The
24:55
Speaker 1: fan in me, you know, is like the devil on
24:58
Speaker 1: the other shoulder, saying, we could win fifty games if
25:01
Speaker 1: we kept this cour together. We could have won fifty games.
25:03
Speaker 1: You know how much fun it was last year. So
25:05
Speaker 1: I do kind of have a little of an inner battle.
25:07
Speaker 1: What did you feel like the Jalen Brown trade when
25:12
Speaker 1: we all saw, oh, it took Paul George and was
25:14
Speaker 1: only two first like, did you feel like it was
25:17
Speaker 1: a missed opportunity for the Hornets or does that not
25:20
Speaker 1: really bother you that they may have flirted with them
25:22
Speaker 1: but ultimately didn't do anything.
25:26
Speaker 4: To be honest, I wasn't a huge huge fan of
25:28
Speaker 4: Jalen Brown. I think he's a good basketball player. Obviously,
25:31
Speaker 4: those were ports about him being the seventh best basketball
25:34
Speaker 4: player in the Celtics obviously are overblown. I never thought
25:38
Speaker 4: the Hornets were going to be in on him. Obviously.
25:40
Speaker 4: There's a previous relationship obviously with Charles Lee in Boston,
25:45
Speaker 4: and we talk about that huge traded player exception that
25:49
Speaker 4: the Hornets created by trading LaMelo Ball. Well, he couldn't
25:53
Speaker 4: fit into that, so they were going to have to
25:54
Speaker 4: give up something in salary to go get him, and
25:58
Speaker 4: maybe the package was a little bit under I think
26:00
Speaker 4: Paul George is still underrated at this point in his career,
26:03
Speaker 4: but he's obviously aging. But just the yeah, the limited
26:06
Speaker 4: package there obviously could have been something that Hornets fans
26:10
Speaker 4: are saying, Hey, we could have gone after Jalen Brown,
26:12
Speaker 4: But again, I don't know where he fit into this roster.
26:15
Speaker 4: If you're trying to build around continental Brandon Miller, I
26:18
Speaker 4: feel like that's a very clunky fit between two three
26:20
Speaker 4: four In that roster, you already traded for nas Ree,
26:23
Speaker 4: who should be slotted into the four, and yeah, don't
26:27
Speaker 4: I don't necessarily think that was the way that they
26:29
Speaker 4: wanted to go. And with the way that Charles Lee
26:31
Speaker 4: has this team operating on offense, it feels as if
26:35
Speaker 4: they liked the ball to move and pop. Jalen Brown
26:38
Speaker 4: seems like a guy that wants the ball in his hands.
26:39
Speaker 4: It's going to slow down the offense at times, So
26:41
Speaker 4: I don't necessarily fit it didn't fit stylistically with the team.
26:44
Speaker 4: So while the package might have been underwhelming and it
26:47
Speaker 4: got you thinking, hey, Hornets could could have got in
26:50
Speaker 4: on this trade, I don't think it fits with what
26:52
Speaker 4: they're trying to do.
26:54
Speaker 1: All right, Here's the most important question of this interview
26:57
Speaker 1: to Richie Randall the Buzzbeat Podcast. Summer League roster dropped yesterday.
27:02
Speaker 1: I know you have looked at it. I know you
27:05
Speaker 1: have fantasized of a back to back Summer League champ.
27:08
Speaker 1: Is that roster a repeat champion roster? Richie Randall?
27:14
Speaker 4: It is if the players were to play all the games,
27:17
Speaker 4: so I could see, like Seon James and Ryan Kochburn
27:21
Speaker 4: are just playing a couple of games, getting their feet wet,
27:23
Speaker 4: and then it's just shutting them down just for maybe
27:26
Speaker 4: injury's sake. But I'm very interested, more so with the rookies,
27:31
Speaker 4: just because I don't watch college basketball all that much.
27:33
Speaker 4: I'm very interested to see how Steinback plays Christian Anderson Junior.
27:37
Speaker 4: I think when you look at this roster, like, is
27:39
Speaker 4: he the truest is that a word, the truest point
27:42
Speaker 4: guard on this team with his ability to play out
27:45
Speaker 4: of the pick and roll.
27:45
Speaker 1: Oh, definitely.
27:46
Speaker 4: That's what I do worry about this team. There's not
27:48
Speaker 4: a lot of players that have the ability to play
27:50
Speaker 4: point guard, a lot of combo guards. And then another
27:53
Speaker 4: player that I'm very interested in is Tjan Salon. Like
27:55
Speaker 4: you look at the four position for the roster, it
27:58
Speaker 4: is very deep. It feels like he's tore at the
28:00
Speaker 4: end of the depth chart because of what he's shown
28:03
Speaker 4: or not shown in these past couple of seasons. So
28:05
Speaker 4: I'm interested to see how he plays. And obviously some
28:08
Speaker 4: of the is not the best environment to kind of
28:11
Speaker 4: gauge these guys just because of the talent a level
28:13
Speaker 4: around them. But when you look at the roster, yes,
28:16
Speaker 4: it is a team that could repeat. But I do
28:19
Speaker 4: think they're probably going to shut down Kawberner and see
28:22
Speaker 4: on James at some point in the mileage and then
28:24
Speaker 4: maybe they just kind of fall off.
28:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, that would make sense. I still would like them
28:27
Speaker 1: to get the printer ready for the T shirts. I
28:29
Speaker 1: still would like that to occur. But you're so right
28:31
Speaker 1: about the rookies. We talked about that earlier. I'm looking
28:33
Speaker 1: forward to it. Man, We will see. If you guys
28:36
Speaker 1: want Hornets talk year round. Buzzbeat podcast, Great place to
28:40
Speaker 1: go with Richie Randall and the boys. Thank you, Richie.
28:43
Speaker 1: Have a great fourth man. Appreciate you coming on.
28:46
Speaker 4: I appreciate it. Have a good fourth. Also on Monday,
28:49
Speaker 4: I'm releasing an episode with Gordon Haywards. If you guys
28:51
Speaker 4: want to look out for that.
28:52
Speaker 1: Very nice, very cool. All right, everybody check that out.
28:54
Speaker 1: Thank you Richie, be good brother. All right, there you go.
28:57
Speaker 1: That is Richie Randall Buzzbeat podcast. So interesting, he said.
29:02
Speaker 1: He talked about the ball sticking with Jaylen Brown. That
29:05
Speaker 1: was a fitty point. There's a fitty point that I
29:07
Speaker 1: pushed back on, so you have a little support there, fitty.
29:09
Speaker 1: By the way, the Jalen Brown stuff that is coming out,
29:13
Speaker 1: and clearly Boston wants this anti Jaylen Brown stuff out
29:16
Speaker 1: there because they're getting killed fitty for this trade. But
29:18
Speaker 1: all this stuff I saw one one analytics, you know,
29:22
Speaker 1: they were citing one reporter was citing an analytics source
29:24
Speaker 1: that said they have him as one hundred and sixtieth
29:26
Speaker 1: bet player in the NBA. Like all these different things
29:29
Speaker 1: trying to degrade Jalen Brown, the stories about him, Like
29:33
Speaker 1: did you see the Colin Cowherd thing. Colin Cowherd saying,
29:36
Speaker 1: my sources tell me that Jalen Brown's the type of
29:39
Speaker 1: guy people in Boston thought Jalen Brown was the type
29:42
Speaker 1: of guy that walked every room he walked into, he
29:44
Speaker 1: thought he was the smartest guy in the room.
29:46
Speaker 2: Hey, Cowherd, cow Herd, is that source yourself?
29:49
Speaker 1: Cowherd, by the way, also one of those guys that
29:51
Speaker 1: thinks he's the smartest guy in every room. But it's like, so,
29:54
Speaker 1: is that why you trade a star basketball player? Like
29:56
Speaker 1: it's just I just I don't know. It just feels
29:59
Speaker 1: like they are trying to leak stuff out there to
30:01
Speaker 1: try to make themselves look better when the whole free
30:04
Speaker 1: world is looking at that trade and saying, what the
30:07
Speaker 1: bleep are you doing? You know, yeah, we.
30:10
Speaker 2: Questioned the return and the value of the LaMelo balls.
30:14
Speaker 1: This one's fifty times worse.
30:16
Speaker 2: Man, But Boston said, uh, hold my teeth, I see
30:21
Speaker 2: what you did there.
30:22
Speaker 1: Fitty. By the way, where's this text at? This is
30:24
Speaker 1: cracking me up? Fitty giving himself little rim shot there.
30:26
Speaker 1: I like it, Old Stony Harball like, we're gonna talk
30:29
Speaker 1: next hour about Jeff Peterson because I am seeing a
30:32
Speaker 1: lot of Jeff Peterson shade. And this is the same
30:34
Speaker 1: group of fans that all of us believed in Jeff
30:37
Speaker 1: Peterson wholeheartedly two weeks ago. So I do want to
30:39
Speaker 1: see has how many of your opinions have changed about
30:42
Speaker 1: Jeff Peterson and should they have? But Old Stony Harball
30:45
Speaker 1: put him in the yes column. Fitty, old Stony Harball,
30:48
Speaker 1: you can stick this plant up my ass. He's gonna
30:51
Speaker 1: be gone before twenty thirty three. Anyway, What the hell
30:55
Speaker 1: is going on? What's he talking about? Richie Randalls. He's
30:59
Speaker 1: saying the hornets foot she randal on here, just just
31:02
Speaker 1: to defend that.
31:03
Speaker 3: I thought maybe it was a miss a typo when
31:05
Speaker 3: he meant to put pick and plant somehow got spelled.
31:08
Speaker 1: Oh, I just read it as it was. I'm I'm
31:10
Speaker 1: Mac Burgundy.
31:11
Speaker 3: But maybe he does think Richie here's the thing?
31:15
Speaker 1: Is the plan? I don't know. I'm confused.
31:18
Speaker 3: Hopefully you're so right here When twenty thirty three, i'd
31:21
Speaker 3: i'd like to be a host here at some point.
31:22
Speaker 1: I want to just be alive In twenty thirty three,
31:27
Speaker 1: I want to be alive. Baby.
31:29
Speaker 3: Is Jeff Peters going to be here twenty thirty three?
31:31
Speaker 3: Mac I'd probably say no, that it'd be a long
31:34
Speaker 3: time that he would be employed as the GM of
31:36
Speaker 3: the Hornets. Here's the thing. Is he going to cash
31:40
Speaker 3: in on that asset before twenty thirty three? Absolutely like
31:44
Speaker 3: that that big time that that pick will be moved
31:47
Speaker 3: in the next three years.
31:50
Speaker 1: Max, Yeah, yeah.
31:52
Speaker 3: So he he may need he might not be here,
31:55
Speaker 3: but the Hornets will get the value out of that
31:57
Speaker 3: asset under Jeff.
31:58
Speaker 1: Yes, I don't believe that, and he is not. YEA
32:00
Speaker 1: GM is not sitting here thinking I'm gonna be here
32:03
Speaker 1: in seven years. Make a pick like that. That's a
32:05
Speaker 1: good way to get fired. Like he is thinking of
32:07
Speaker 1: that as an asset to use way before that. He's not.
32:12
Speaker 1: He's not researching the sixth grade class. I know the
32:15
Speaker 1: jokes are fun to make, but he is not doing that.
32:16
Speaker 1: All right, Next up, y'all, we got to break out
32:20

34:33
Speaker 1: that piece on ESPN, which aired yesterday for the first time,
34:37
Speaker 1: that thing, Fitty was over three minutes long. This dude
34:40
Speaker 1: put a lot into that piece. He's somewhat say he
34:45
Speaker 1: put too much into it. He's taken this wedding as
34:47
Speaker 1: seriously as we all shouldn't, as seriously as I am today.
34:50
Speaker 1: And I don't care if I'm getting mocked by many
34:52
Speaker 1: of you out there listening that I'm taking this wedding
34:54
Speaker 1: too seriously. All right, fit dog, So it's expect it's
34:58
Speaker 1: today at MSG everybody. Apparently there was a sighting of
35:03
Speaker 1: her in an suv pulling up yesterday for the rehearsal dinner. Fitty.
35:07
Speaker 1: The wedding expected to take place today. A thousand guests
35:10
Speaker 1: for this thing, although there is a report that they
35:13
Speaker 1: got married in private and this is just simply a
35:15
Speaker 1: celebration of their wedding. I don't since you have the
35:20
Speaker 1: same enthusiasm that I do for this, Fitty, I'm very
35:22
Speaker 1: disappointed in you, sir.
35:24
Speaker 3: I I don't know if I've cared about anything less
35:27
Speaker 3: in my life than this wedding.
35:30
Speaker 1: Why do you not like that?
35:31
Speaker 6: Are you?
35:31
Speaker 1: You don't like him? I thought you were a pro
35:33
Speaker 1: Swelsea guy.
35:33
Speaker 2: No, I just I don't get into other people's weddings.
35:37
Speaker 1: Like it's not about the wedding, it's about like who's
35:40
Speaker 1: gonna be there? And like, you know what I mean,
35:42
Speaker 1: it's just celebrity sightings. Who's there? What happens? That sort
35:46
Speaker 1: of thing? Man, all I'm.
35:47
Speaker 3: Hoping for because this this wedding supposedly is taken place
35:50
Speaker 3: at the Mecca, the world's most famous arena, Madison Square Garden.
35:55
Speaker 2: I hope they being lost takeover.
35:57
Speaker 1: You want them outside, yeah, Fitty said yesterday he wants
35:59
Speaker 1: them throwing rice at the married couple outside with them.
36:03
Speaker 1: I'm afraid they'll throw something else, so something disgusting. But anyway,
36:07
Speaker 1: I beg you at Philadelphia. So I was talking about
36:12
Speaker 1: the betting markets. People are betting on this wedding. Four
36:15
Speaker 1: million dollars on the prediction markets has been wagered on
36:20
Speaker 1: various parts of the Swift Kelsey wedding, including you can
36:24
Speaker 1: bet like who the best man will be Jason Kelsey,
36:26
Speaker 1: the odds on favorite, who the maid of honor will
36:30
Speaker 1: be her childhood friend Abigail is his the favorite? Why
36:35
Speaker 1: are you looking at me like that? You're looking at
36:39
Speaker 1: me like you want to have an intervention with me
36:41
Speaker 1: right now?
36:43
Speaker 3: I just how Brendan Soresby gets found out to be
36:45
Speaker 3: betting all this?
36:46
Speaker 1: Oh, you know, and if he is a real temptation for.
36:49
Speaker 3: Him, and if he is the NFL ship banner for
36:51
Speaker 3: if you if you are stupid enough to put a
36:57
Speaker 3: bet down on who the best man is.
36:59
Speaker 2: Going to be at this?
37:00
Speaker 1: Do you think that's a sign of a gambling problem
37:02
Speaker 1: you need to see.
37:04
Speaker 3: And not the a conversion of rehab, legitimate rehab.
37:08
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, all right, didn't we didn't we determined
37:12
Speaker 1: Acon didn't do rehab. Or you're that's just a joke. Yes,
37:15
Speaker 1: I was joking, Okay, gotcha. I was just making sure,
37:18
Speaker 1: all right. Seven O four five, seven O nine to
37:21
Speaker 1: six ten. Mac is worse than my wife. I thought
37:23
Speaker 1: my wife was way too into this stupid wedding. I
37:27
Speaker 1: have your wife Texas show, I need some thoughts. Who
37:29
Speaker 1: she think the maid of honor is gonna be? Uh?
37:32
Speaker 1: The big headline bone about the surprise snub. My name's
37:36
Speaker 1: our Fitty for the big snub of the wedding so far,
37:39
Speaker 1: the first snub though, they said the first snub. Prince
37:42
Speaker 1: William has in the past joked about wanting to be
37:46
Speaker 1: invited this wedding, and it turns out that sources say
37:48
Speaker 1: he will not be at this wedding. Fitty, that's this
37:52
Speaker 1: big news to you.
37:53
Speaker 2: That's because he's at Wimbledon. Baby, He's got better.
37:55
Speaker 1: Things to do. Oh my goodness. All right, anyway, let's
37:57
Speaker 1: move along here. Remember the dude land this year, James Nausey, Well,
38:01
Speaker 1: we remember him as a Hornets draft pick years ago.
38:05
Speaker 1: Last year he resurfaced Fitty at college basketball playing at Baylor.
38:11
Speaker 1: He the word got out, Yes, say he's transferring to
38:14
Speaker 1: George Mason. How is this dude still playing? Can we
38:17
Speaker 1: get this dude out of college basketball? For God's sakes?
38:21
Speaker 3: He also continues in his basketball journey mac to regress.
38:24
Speaker 3: He started oversees what Barcelona playing for Spain gets drafted
38:29
Speaker 3: to the Charlotte Hornets. Walker Raved about him for like
38:32
Speaker 3: two and a half minutes one day on the Weston
38:34
Speaker 3: Walker Show. He then goes to G League, rout, goes
38:37
Speaker 3: to Baylor, now goes to George Mason. I was hoping
38:41
Speaker 3: Will Wade would be the best example that college basketball
38:44
Speaker 3: needs to fix their eligibility rules. It might be James
38:47
Speaker 3: Nagya are now played for two colleges after being drafted
38:51
Speaker 3: or signed by an NBA front off.
38:53
Speaker 1: It's freaking absurd, by the way, so are Some of
38:55
Speaker 1: these texts are absurd. Some are absurdly funny. Fight for
38:58
Speaker 1: twelve says Mac about the finally cash in some bets
39:01
Speaker 1: on this Swift Kelsey wedding. I can't be any worse
39:04
Speaker 1: at it than I am at sports betting. I'm down
39:06
Speaker 1: the seven damn sense. Maybe I should use my seven
39:09
Speaker 1: cents today on this wedding, big pain. I hope mister
39:13
Speaker 1: Swift's mescara runs today from this from the seventy eight
39:18
Speaker 1: degrees city requirement on thermostat temperature settings. Mister Swift, how
39:23
Speaker 1: dare you? How dare your disrespect Travis Kelcey in that way, sir?
39:26
Speaker 1: And put the makeup on him? All right, Let's move
39:29
Speaker 1: along here with random crap. So we talked yesterday, Fiddy
39:34
Speaker 1: about the Country Road song becoming the official anthem of
39:40
Speaker 1: the men's US men's national team and they all sing
39:43
Speaker 1: it and the fans sing it after every game. Well,
39:47
Speaker 1: now we have footage courtesy of Weston McKinney of a
39:52
Speaker 1: song they were all singing on the team bus together.
39:55
Speaker 1: Do you have this song for us? Fit Daddy? No,
40:02
Speaker 1: I told you to get it earlier. You gotta have
40:04
Speaker 1: it right.
40:05
Speaker 2: I don't remember this conversation.
40:06
Speaker 1: No email it to you. You don't have the song
40:10
Speaker 1: all right? Anyway, I will tell you what the song is.
40:14
Speaker 1: They were all singing on the bus Ella Langley's choosing Texas,
40:18
Speaker 1: which is a very catchy song. I don't get down
40:21
Speaker 1: to much country, but that song is pretty damn catchy.
40:24
Speaker 1: So the boys Ella Langley fans in addition to being
40:28
Speaker 1: fans of Country Roads. What are you doing scrambling to
40:31
Speaker 1: see if you messed up? Fitty?
40:33
Speaker 3: I don't want to out you on the radio. I
40:35
Speaker 3: got two emails from you this morning. Neither one mentioned
40:38
Speaker 3: they ever went to you.
40:38
Speaker 1: Okay, well that's all me. Then that's now. Maybe you
40:40
Speaker 1: could be scrambling and getting the song right now I
40:43
Speaker 1: could still do that. Maybe that's what you should have
40:45
Speaker 1: done instead of went to see if you were right,
40:47
Speaker 1: if I was wrong, Maybe that's what you could have done. Anyway,
40:51
Speaker 1: My God would have.
40:52
Speaker 2: Bone done that.
40:53
Speaker 1: How about that.
40:54
Speaker 3: I'm just holding up the roll of bone. Bone would
40:56
Speaker 3: have outed your mistake.
40:57
Speaker 1: It's crazy idea. If I ever saw well, he like,
41:00
Speaker 1: just go get it, Like forget about who's wrong, who's right,
41:04
Speaker 1: Just dog get the damn song. Play it for people.
41:07
Speaker 1: They want to hear the damn song that the US
41:09
Speaker 1: men's national team is singing. Plus I do find a
41:11
Speaker 1: catchy I would like to hear it anyway. All right,
41:14
Speaker 1: So we're doing fine here. We're doing fine, working on
41:16
Speaker 1: our holiday. Everything is going seamlessly and according to plan.
41:21
Speaker 1: By the way, Tomorrow's Hot Dog Eating Contest simulcast on
41:25
Speaker 1: ABC for the first time ever. Fit Daddy, don't know

41:40
Speaker 1: hot dog eating contest.
41:44
Speaker 2: Are you struggling, Hey, well, I found the song.
41:48
Speaker 3: I also found the official music video, which as my
41:51
Speaker 3: guy Casey Dunt from Yellowstone in I Got Lost in
41:54
Speaker 3: his eyes?
41:54
Speaker 1: Oh my god, what are you talking about?
41:56
Speaker 2: The hot dog eating contest.
41:57
Speaker 1: On ABC or simulcast on ABC. This show exposure for
42:01
Speaker 1: Joey Chestnut.
42:02
Speaker 3: If people spend time tomorrow watching grown adults eat hot
42:07
Speaker 3: dogs at an alarming gross rate, I I question how
42:14
Speaker 3: you celebrate the Fourth of July. Eat your own hot dogs,
42:17
Speaker 3: have your own cookout, shoot your fireworks, go to the pool.
42:21
Speaker 3: I'm not carving out time out of my day to
42:25
Speaker 3: watch a grown man shove sixty something hot dogs down
42:29
Speaker 3: his throat in ten minutes.
42:30
Speaker 2: I've never understood the obsession with watching a hot.
42:33
Speaker 1: Dogs eating contest.
42:35
Speaker 2: It's not a gross see, that's just disgusting.
42:38
Speaker 1: That's the thing is you You you are grossed out
42:40
Speaker 1: by it. I some people are grossed out by it.
42:43
Speaker 1: I just find it to be hilarious. I mean, they're
42:45
Speaker 1: just it is disgusting, but disgusting. It can be hilarious
42:48
Speaker 1: to me. Now here's the problem with the contest. It's
42:51
Speaker 1: not that, oh my god, he's eating a lot of
42:54
Speaker 1: hot dogs. I'm grossed out. It's not that I don't
42:57
Speaker 1: understand what's wrong with you there, Fiddy? You sound like
42:59
Speaker 1: my wife. He's not gonna just sound like a lady
43:02
Speaker 1: for a secondary media's men should not be grossed out
43:05
Speaker 1: by stuff. We should be doing the gross stuff. But anyway,
43:08
Speaker 1: I digress. My problem with it is this man's got
43:12
Speaker 1: no competition. This is why the hot dog eating contest
43:15
Speaker 1: to me is like, ah, like this dude needs a
43:18
Speaker 1: rival badly. We need parody. Can they put a restrictor
43:21
Speaker 1: plate on that dude's mouth or something like? We need
43:23
Speaker 1: parody and hot dog eating fitty? That's my issue, all right?
43:27
Speaker 1: Can we play it out with the Lla Langley song Fitty?
43:30
Speaker 1: I have found this the most anticipated song in the
43:33
Speaker 1: history of the Mac and Bone Show. Or how about
43:35
Speaker 1: this come back from the next break with Ella Langley?
43:38
Speaker 1: How about that? We will do that. Queue it up
43:40
Speaker 1: to the chorus. We come back with it from the
43:43
Speaker 1: next break when we come back, Ladies and gentlemen, that
43:46
Speaker 1: is random crap, probably crappier than usual, but it's the
43:49
Speaker 1: holiday version of us. We're even worse, all right when
43:52
Speaker 1: we come back though on the Mac and Bone Show.
43:55
Speaker 1: This is good. We can't mess this segment up. It's
43:58
Speaker 1: time for Snapchats Holiday Edition. J J Janssen on the
44:02
Speaker 1: Mac and Bone Show
