- 1:27Speaker 2: I do around here. Okay, now, kidd now the secrets
- 1:29Speaker 2: you've been acting like you like? You know, do you
- 1:32Speaker 2: think I'm winning so much?
- 1:33Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 1:34Speaker 5: He is a soccer guy too, so yeah, we could
- 1:36Speaker 5: definitely ask for for betting angles on the World Cup
- 1:39Speaker 5: in college football. He is Chris Felika, the Bear with
- 1:42Speaker 5: Fox Sports, and he joins us on the Mack and
- 1:44Speaker 5: Bone Show in Charlotte.
- 1:45Speaker 3: Chris, thank you so much for coming on.
- 1:47Speaker 5: Man.
- 1:47Speaker 3: How you doing.
- 1:49Speaker 1: I'm doing well. No, I appreciate the appreciate the shout out.
- 1:52Speaker 1: I'm glad to hear that you're digging with you. I'm sorry,
- 1:56Speaker 1: I'm just sharing myself when Ray my year, so it's very,
- 1:59Speaker 1: very weird, so I apologize for that. But yeah, no, i'
- 2:02Speaker 1: I'm glad the god the picture went in and it
- 2:03Speaker 1: should be a fun nights to night.
- 2:04Speaker 2: Okay, let's try to reset this for Chris. And we
- 2:07Speaker 2: know the phone lines good in his ear? What try
- 2:09Speaker 2: to reset him? Call him back the money?
- 2:11Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 2:12Speaker 3: Oh you want to?
- 2:12Speaker 5: Okay, you want to call Okay, we'll call you back
- 2:14Speaker 5: at a second, Bear, We'll call you back.
- 2:15Speaker 3: Okay, thanks, Bear. All right, it's tough.
- 2:18Speaker 5: There is this like an every other day thing where
- 2:20Speaker 5: something's I don't know, Man, we aren't good enough to
- 2:24Speaker 5: overcome this. But with everything going, with everything going great
- 2:27Speaker 5: around us, our show is really mid. We are not
- 2:30Speaker 5: good enough to overcome this.
- 2:31Speaker 2: You know what it sounds like we get that could
- 2:33Speaker 2: also be a great excuse, guys used that day.
- 2:36Speaker 3: I can't hear myself. I gotta go there. You're trying
- 2:37Speaker 3: to get out of this right now.
- 2:39Speaker 5: I do want to ask him about France, though I
- 2:41Speaker 5: want to we should do like a ton of college
- 2:43Speaker 5: football with him.
- 2:44Speaker 3: But I do want to ask him if Westy was
- 2:46Speaker 3: having that issue as well.
- 2:47Speaker 5: Westy seemed a little like off it, you know what
- 2:50Speaker 5: I mean, like a little dwait in response. But you
- 2:53Speaker 5: know what, he's still got two shots in at the
- 2:54Speaker 5: missus though, you know just that what doesn't matter what's
- 2:58Speaker 5: going on in Westy's ear. He will still get a
- 2:59Speaker 5: cup the shots at his wife. But as long as
- 3:02Speaker 5: he's not here and you twise, I think it'll be okay.
- 3:04Speaker 5: Here's or me twise that's the problem. All right, let's
- 3:06Speaker 5: bring bring him back, Chris the Bear FeliCa. All right,
- 3:09Speaker 5: you got us now, man.
- 3:11Speaker 1: No, that that was weird. I'm still getting it. But
- 3:15Speaker 1: we'll work for it.
- 3:15Speaker 3: Fine, let's try to battle through.
- 3:17Speaker 5: We apologize, let's battle through before we get to all
- 3:20Speaker 5: this different college football convo because we're jonesing for it.
- 3:23Speaker 5: France looks ridiculous at the World Cup. Would you advise
- 3:27Speaker 5: people to try to bet anybody else other than France
- 3:30Speaker 5: now or is it just is it inevitable?
- 3:33Speaker 3: Chris?
- 3:34Speaker 1: It's not inevitable because they still have Spain on that
- 3:37Speaker 1: side of the draw, and Spain did beat them at
- 3:39Speaker 1: the end of the years a couple of years ago.
- 3:41Speaker 1: But it looks like it's gonna take a very off
- 3:43Speaker 1: night from France for them not to at least get
- 3:46Speaker 1: to the final. Like it looks like we're gonna get
- 3:50Speaker 1: a repeat of the twenty twenty two final between Argentina
- 3:53Speaker 1: and France. Argentina that they have a much easier side
- 3:56Speaker 1: of the draw, and obviously they're good defensively. But now
- 4:00Speaker 1: that you have in Bab scoring, you've got Barcoloas scoring,
- 4:03Speaker 1: You've got den bel A scoring, You've got a least
- 4:06Speaker 1: a leading in the tournament. It's just they are so
- 4:08Speaker 1: deep and so potent it looked I mean, they are
- 4:12Speaker 1: the best team, but as we've seen so far in
- 4:14Speaker 1: this tournament a couple of times, with some massive upsets,
- 4:17Speaker 1: the best team doesn't always win. But I do think
- 4:21Speaker 1: France is a clear favorite, and you can still find
- 4:24Speaker 1: some France Argentina named the finalists propositions out there around
- 4:28Speaker 1: six to one or so, and that might be a
- 4:30Speaker 1: really good bet to make at this point.
- 4:33Speaker 2: I don't want to assume the US moves on there,
- 4:35Speaker 2: but if they do against Bosnia, Belgium Senegal, to mean,
- 4:40Speaker 2: is a fascinating matchup today that seems like one of
- 4:42Speaker 2: those ones that could end up in PKS. Who do
- 4:45Speaker 2: you say the US would match up better with Belgium
- 4:48Speaker 2: or Senegal.
- 4:49Speaker 1: I think they would match up better with Belgium, And
- 4:53Speaker 1: I say it's weird. I say that because Belgium obviously
- 4:56Speaker 1: has some world class players Incu and Tressard and de Bruyna,
- 5:02Speaker 1: and you bring in big Romanlo Locaco and you got
- 5:05Speaker 1: Courtois who can steal a game off the bench. But
- 5:08Speaker 1: but the athleticism of Senegal and the waves that they
- 5:12Speaker 1: can come at you at that I think that would
- 5:15Speaker 1: be a problem and they would be favored against senegalf
- 5:17Speaker 1: you have that mentality as well. I keep going back
- 5:21Speaker 1: and forth on that match between Belgium and Senagale because
- 5:26Speaker 1: neither team really looked great until they needed to win
- 5:29Speaker 1: against the bottom team and the group to get through.
- 5:33Speaker 1: Senegal has had a lot of problems in their camp
- 5:35Speaker 1: with accommodations and issues with the federation. In Belgium's the
- 5:40Speaker 1: team I have not necessarily been super high on, but
- 5:43Speaker 1: I wonder if maybe this kind of they kind of
- 5:45Speaker 1: finally played themselves into shape in that match against New Zealand,
- 5:51Speaker 1: and they are super dangerous. But you think back to
- 5:54Speaker 1: the friendly that they had with Belgium a couple of
- 5:55Speaker 1: months back. The game was closed in the first half
- 5:58Speaker 1: and then the second half of all the shame just cancer.
- 6:00Speaker 1: I would think the US would rather face Belgium other
- 6:03Speaker 1: than they would send it Goege. That's gonna be tough.
- 6:06Speaker 5: Interesting, all right, Let's uh, Chris, the bear Forlika Fox
- 6:08Speaker 5: Sports is with us?
- 6:10Speaker 3: All right?
- 6:10Speaker 5: Chris, I know you're pulling for the US tonight, but
- 6:12Speaker 5: I know you're also a Miami guy. You're a hurricane.
- 6:15Speaker 5: You went you went to college there. I find myself
- 6:19Speaker 5: and this might not be good news for you, Chris,
- 6:21Speaker 5: because unlike you, I'm a terrible better and I'm a
- 6:23Speaker 5: I am I'm a jinx and a curse. But I
- 6:26Speaker 5: find myself really converted on Mario Cristo Ball in this
- 6:29Speaker 5: Canes program, and I you know, and there's obviously a
- 6:34Speaker 5: ton of money back in it. I just feel like
- 6:37Speaker 5: they're gonna get the that they're gonna get a title
- 6:40Speaker 5: at some point, and I think there's a good chance
- 6:43Speaker 5: it happens this year. Would you tell me to slow
- 6:45Speaker 5: down a little bitter? Do you embrace that kind of talk?
- 6:49Speaker 1: Both, which I guess is the truth, but we live
- 6:52Speaker 1: a little of them between. I think what we saw
- 6:54Speaker 1: last year was the building process that Maria Crista Ball
- 6:57Speaker 1: has had with that program. Uh getting to the championship game.
- 7:01Speaker 1: They were always a little I think under it. Remember
- 7:03Speaker 1: the beginning of the season, it was like, who's the
- 7:05Speaker 1: best team in the country, Miami Ohio State, and then
- 7:07Speaker 1: Miami had a couple of slip ups during the during
- 7:09Speaker 1: the middle of the season, and by the end of
- 7:10Speaker 1: the year they were playing as well as anybody in
- 7:13Speaker 1: the country. I think the one thing that I would
- 7:15Speaker 1: pump the brakes on for this year is, you know,
- 7:18Speaker 1: a lot of times you lose a bunch of team
- 7:21Speaker 1: guys who had suffered through the program and it just
- 7:24Speaker 1: kind of led. You lose a Ruben Dane, you're losing
- 7:27Speaker 1: a Keen Message, Or you'll lose a King Ante Scott,
- 7:30Speaker 1: You'll lose a CJ. Daniels, You'll lose a King and Marion,
- 7:33Speaker 1: guys who were like the the locker room alpha guys
- 7:36Speaker 1: of the team and that kind of self police and
- 7:40Speaker 1: just the the culture like oozed through them. Like those
- 7:43Speaker 1: guys are gone. It's gonna take a Mark Fletcher or
- 7:48Speaker 1: maybe Malachai Toni or or someone else on the Lawrence Mountain,
- 7:52Speaker 1: like one of those guys on the other side of
- 7:54Speaker 1: the ball too, to kind of step up and be
- 7:56Speaker 1: that guy. But talent wise, there's a really good chance
- 7:58Speaker 1: that this team is more talented than the team that
- 8:01Speaker 1: they had last year that got to the college football
- 8:03Speaker 1: Playoff final. And I did make a little Bowl prediction
- 8:06Speaker 1: in one of my Fox Sports columns earlier this spring
- 8:09Speaker 1: that I do think the winner of the Miami Notre
- 8:11Speaker 1: Name game in November, will finish the regular season undefeated
- 8:15Speaker 1: and be the number one seed going into the College
- 8:17Speaker 1: football playoffs.
- 8:18Speaker 3: So yeah, I can definitely.
- 8:20Speaker 1: Optimism is high, and it should be high.
- 8:22Speaker 2: Find that at Fox sports dot com. Bear is kind
- 8:24Speaker 2: enough to doing it right now, Chris Vlica working through
- 8:27Speaker 2: some phone issues that we're having.
- 8:29Speaker 1: Bear.
- 8:29Speaker 2: If you decide that you don't want to answer this
- 8:32Speaker 2: question and pretend like you can't hear because the phone,
- 8:35Speaker 2: I understand.
- 8:36Speaker 3: I'm going to.
- 8:37Speaker 2: Ask you, now, who do you project as the second
- 8:41Speaker 2: best team.
- 8:41Speaker 3: In the ACC?
- 8:42Speaker 1: Right now? Oh, that's a good question, it is. I
- 8:48Speaker 1: know SMU has a lot of hype and a lot
- 8:51Speaker 1: of Pcatson back, and Ret's done a really good job there,
- 8:54Speaker 1: and that beat Miami last year. I still it's it's
- 9:00Speaker 1: hard to quit Clemson just because of the run and
- 9:04Speaker 1: the sustained run that they've had it and they still
- 9:07Speaker 1: despite not really acquiring a bunch of guys in the portal,
- 9:10Speaker 1: they still have really good recruiting classes and a bunch
- 9:13Speaker 1: of picks in the NFL last year, And at some
- 9:16Speaker 1: point you just have to kind of respect what they've
- 9:19Speaker 1: done over the last what ten twelve years now, even
- 9:23Speaker 1: longer than that under Dabbla, they get Miami at home.
- 9:27Speaker 1: There's probably a little bit more or I know there
- 9:29Speaker 1: were some changes on the coaching staff club Nick is
- 9:32Speaker 1: gone now, so maybe that's a good thing for Clemson
- 9:34Speaker 1: to get to move on from him. But I think
- 9:37Speaker 1: talent wise, I think it still ultimately is Clemson, although
- 9:41Speaker 1: I would accept SMU, I would accept the Louisville as
- 9:45Speaker 1: an answer bear.
- 9:47Speaker 5: Obviously, one of the storylines in college football, and we
- 9:50Speaker 5: don't hate it NACC country, is that the SEC has
- 9:53Speaker 5: not even been in its title game for three years.
- 9:56Speaker 3: The horror, the horror.
- 9:58Speaker 5: So SEC haters love that, and obviously the Big Tennis
- 10:02Speaker 5: stepped up as the conference that's winning the championships. Do
- 10:06Speaker 5: you feel like it's going to shift backed or do
- 10:09Speaker 5: you feel like NIL has kind of changed the balance
- 10:13Speaker 5: of power and kind of hurt the SEC? Like do
- 10:16Speaker 5: you think they reclaim their throne? How do you feel
- 10:19Speaker 5: about that?
- 10:21Speaker 1: It's made it totally more wide open, and I had
- 10:24Speaker 1: my initially thought that it was going to make just
- 10:26Speaker 1: make the rich get richer in the player and obviously
- 10:29Speaker 1: that hasn't happened. It's hard to say, because I know
- 10:34Speaker 1: the battle of the conferences, and everyone loves to hate
- 10:36Speaker 1: on the SEC and the love that they have they
- 10:38Speaker 1: won a title in the last three years and gotten
- 10:39Speaker 1: a team to the Talian Game. But both things can
- 10:43Speaker 1: be true. The best teams in the Indiana, Ohio State
- 10:48Speaker 1: Oregon those can be the top three teams in that
- 10:51Speaker 1: league can be better than the top three teams in
- 10:54Speaker 1: the SEC. But still like the SEC from one to
- 10:57Speaker 1: ten or whatever is better than like one ten for
- 11:00Speaker 1: the Big Ten. So it's not like the SEC is
- 11:02Speaker 1: total garbage now, but it's good for college football. It's
- 11:07Speaker 1: great for college football. Like I think Georgia is gonna
- 11:11Speaker 1: be really good. I think Texas is going to be
- 11:13Speaker 1: really good. LSU obviously is going to be an interesting story.
- 11:16Speaker 1: Alabama can they make a step back up this year.
- 11:21Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see. But I love the fact
- 11:24Speaker 1: that you've got now we're talking about Miami is a
- 11:27Speaker 1: national title contender, where we're talking about Texas Tech. Regardless
- 11:31Speaker 1: of what your opinion is on how they handle the
- 11:32Speaker 1: Brendan soresby a situation that they are making moves, You've
- 11:36Speaker 1: got teams in the Big Ten. You've got a bunch
- 11:38Speaker 1: of teams and it's a Notre Dame is a national
- 11:41Speaker 1: title contender. Again, like it's good the way that the
- 11:44Speaker 1: pay for player has kind of stepped up and now
- 11:47Speaker 1: it is a little bit more spread out and where
- 11:49Speaker 1: we'll see how sustainable it is in a lot of places.
- 11:51Speaker 1: But you could, like I said, you can make a
- 11:54Speaker 1: case like going into the year, you could say, Devin,
- 11:58Speaker 1: probably seven different teams are going to win the national
- 12:00Speaker 1: title and you wouldn't get a lot of pushback. I
- 12:03Speaker 1: don't think for many people.
- 12:04Speaker 2: All right, bear one more question for you, as one
- 12:06Speaker 2: of college football's foremost authorities on gambling with Bear bettsfoxports
- 12:10Speaker 2: dot com, give us a from a national view, not
- 12:14Speaker 2: just acc SEC. What's a good over win total bet
- 12:18Speaker 2: this year? And what's an under?
- 12:19Speaker 3: In your mind? Give us an over under this year?
- 12:22Speaker 1: Oh, I have not found too many overs. I love
- 12:27Speaker 1: playing unders in the beginning of the year. I think
- 12:30Speaker 1: Michigan is a really good under at eight and a half.
- 12:33Speaker 1: I think if you look at the player, the teams
- 12:35Speaker 1: that they played last year, they want a finishing rank.
- 12:38Speaker 1: They lost to all of them by the double digits.
- 12:40Speaker 1: And I think while with Kyle Wenningham moved long term
- 12:43Speaker 1: is going to pay off. I think the schedule, the
- 12:45Speaker 1: way that breaks down is going to be very difficult
- 12:48Speaker 1: for them this year. I think Michigan State as well
- 12:51Speaker 1: in the Big Ten is another under team. Arkansas, I
- 12:54Speaker 1: would say is certainly an under team. I have a
- 12:56Speaker 1: long sec losing street to begin with new coach and
- 12:59Speaker 1: whatever else. That's a That's a team that I would
- 13:03Speaker 1: go under as well. Uh In Florida State I think
- 13:07Speaker 1: obviously is down as well. So that those those are
- 13:09Speaker 1: four teams that I've bet a season win totals under on.
- 13:12Speaker 1: And anyway, when when I find it over, I'll let
- 13:14Speaker 1: you know. My mister positivity, my mister sunlight, I don't know.
- 13:17Speaker 1: I don't have my sun glasses on data to be
- 13:19Speaker 1: positive going into the season on many teams right now.
- 13:22Speaker 3: He says.
- 13:22Speaker 2: We had a Florida State fan. Bear asked before you
- 13:24Speaker 2: said that, say, hey, I'm good Florida States some while
- 13:27Speaker 2: well he just did put him on the under.
- 13:29Speaker 3: Yeah, it's hard.
- 13:32Speaker 1: I know. I'm a Miami guy. I'd like Florida State
- 13:36Speaker 1: to be to be competitive and bring back the era
- 13:38Speaker 1: that I had I grew up with it with to
- 13:40Speaker 1: school with in the nineties where it was one versus two,
- 13:43Speaker 1: and one, versus three and top five matchup every time.
- 13:46Speaker 1: But they are having problems in the portal. That quarterback
- 13:49Speaker 1: situation is up in the air. Fruiting classes are done.
- 13:52Speaker 1: There's a lot a lot of negativity right now. Uh
- 13:55Speaker 1: and I don't want to say apathy, but a lot
- 13:56Speaker 1: of questions surrounding Michael fall in that program. If they
- 13:59Speaker 1: lose SMU out of.
- 14:00Speaker 3: The gate, look out, no doubt.
- 14:03Speaker 5: And the ACC needs them to be good, right like
- 14:06Speaker 5: we used to all the time talk here about your Canes.
- 14:08Speaker 3: ACC needs the Canes to be back.
- 14:10Speaker 5: Well, now they're on the way back. Clemson's another one,
- 14:13Speaker 5: like they could really use Clemson getting back. So anyway,
- 14:17Speaker 5: your techical health though, right Frank, Yeah.
- 14:20Speaker 1: Yes, they're They're a team. They're a team that I
- 14:22Speaker 1: would consider. I mean, they're trendy and it's probably taxed
- 14:26Speaker 1: him and baked it on the number a little bit.
- 14:28Speaker 1: But he James brought in some guys from Penn State.
- 14:31Speaker 1: The recruiting is going to do well. That that was
- 14:33Speaker 1: That's a for people who are for UVA fans, for
- 14:37Speaker 1: Miami fans have to whoever like in the a SEC
- 14:40Speaker 1: like you're on that level that's a dangerous higher because
- 14:43Speaker 1: he could get that place going again and get them
- 14:45Speaker 1: up to the level that that Frank teamer had. The
- 14:47Speaker 1: mascaus he is a really, really good coach, regardless of
- 14:51Speaker 1: the Oh, we can't beat the top five team? Gee?
- 14:54Speaker 1: What what a what a? What an indictment? You can't
- 14:56Speaker 1: beat Oregon or Ohio state teams that are making the
- 14:58Speaker 1: college football playoff and semifinals and win in the title. Gosh, gosh.
- 15:03Speaker 3: I gotta be honest.
- 15:04Speaker 5: I like the I love the ACC, but there ain't
- 15:06Speaker 5: gonna be as many top five opponents for him in
- 15:09Speaker 5: the AC sake. Just does real talk the best man?
- 15:12Speaker 5: All right, thanks for bearing with our phone issues. I
- 15:14Speaker 5: didn't know what I did there bearing with our phone issues.
- 15:19Speaker 5: The Bear Chris Filica, Fox Sports, thank you, brother, keeping
- 15:22Speaker 5: joining the World Cup and college football will be here soon. Brother,
- 15:25Speaker 5: Thank you so much.
- 15:26Speaker 1: We'll take care guys.
- 15:26Speaker 3: All right, there you go. That's Christy. I'm gonna say
- 15:29Speaker 3: I love the Bear man. He was great, dude. I
- 15:31Speaker 3: miss him. I miss him on the game days slapping
- 15:33Speaker 3: magnets on that board.
- 15:36Speaker 5: Yeah.

- 20:49Speaker 3: Yes? Yes?

- 21:04Speaker 3: Sorry, I can't.
- 21:05Speaker 2: I don't repeat like what he says all the time,
- 21:07Speaker 2: but it's just like, what are you doing?
- 21:08Speaker 5: Trio Swathe says is Bebop on the payroll. Is he
- 21:12Speaker 5: paid to be the villain on the show.
- 21:14Speaker 2: We're not. We're We're not paid to work anywhere. Actually,
- 21:20Speaker 2: I know he has a trunk and he's like, I
- 21:22Speaker 2: don't know how I gotta be honest, I don't.
- 21:24Speaker 3: Know what Bebop works.
- 21:25Speaker 5: Oh God, anyway, all right, so real quick, Bone, people
- 21:29Speaker 5: are betting or using the like the Calshie's of the world.
- 21:34Speaker 5: They're using the predictive markets to trade, basically wager right
- 21:39Speaker 5: on Taylor Swift's wedding.
- 21:41Speaker 3: Where will the location be?
- 21:42Speaker 5: Will it really be at Madison Square Garden which is
- 21:45Speaker 5: the reported location, because some people Bone think it's a
- 21:48Speaker 5: ruse look over there at Madison Square Garden? Were gonna
- 21:51Speaker 5: be like up in Rhode Island somewhere having a wedding. Also,
- 21:55Speaker 5: who her bridesmaids are? This is a I'm telling you,
- 21:59Speaker 5: this is a mayor because royal wedding. Bone, wait until
- 22:02Speaker 5: Friday and the hype that this thing will have and
- 22:06Speaker 5: the lens that the paparazzi will go to try to
- 22:09Speaker 5: get photo. I guess if they have it at MSG,
- 22:11Speaker 5: it's just to avoid being photographed. Right, You're basically deep
- 22:15Speaker 5: inside this bunker, but that seems like a weird place
- 22:17Speaker 5: to have a wedding.
- 22:19Speaker 2: Well yeah, and then there's the did they get married
- 22:21Speaker 2: last week? Rumor already? Oh that's out there too, that
- 22:24Speaker 2: they already that they already had that in somewhere else.
- 22:26Speaker 2: And this is the this is like the party we're
- 22:28Speaker 2: spitch to make a lot more sense than in the
- 22:30Speaker 2: actual walking down the aisle at MSG, are they gonna?
- 22:33Speaker 2: Are they getting married back somewhere else? And the reception
- 22:36Speaker 2: to MSG sometimes at MSG. But is it the wedding?
- 22:40Speaker 2: This is not televised either?
- 22:42Speaker 6: Is it?
- 22:42Speaker 5: Because I loved be televised if they put on the
- 22:44Speaker 5: actual royal wedding here in America, which, by the way,
- 22:48Speaker 5: I wouldn't have watched the Royal wedding if it was
- 22:50Speaker 5: in our backyard, in my backyard.
- 22:52Speaker 1: I know.
- 22:53Speaker 5: I don't understand why England puts the whole concept the
- 22:57Speaker 5: Royals just drives me insane. But anyway, this this is
- 23:01Speaker 5: one I would watch like I would watch this one
- 23:03Speaker 5: to check out the celebrities.
- 23:04Speaker 2: I would this is lie to be by the Royals
- 23:07Speaker 2: are what? This is a level above royals? This is
- 23:09Speaker 2: whatever that level is. This is our This is our
- 23:12Speaker 2: Royals update, Fitty Bone is Prince Prince Kelsey Bone is
- 23:15Speaker 2: in another back and forth on the text line, you're
- 23:18Speaker 2: feisty today, aren't you.
- 23:19Speaker 3: Bone?
- 23:20Speaker 2: Well, the guy called me one of Taylor's brides baids.
- 23:23Speaker 2: People get so they will get so uncomfortable when you
- 23:26Speaker 2: talk about Taylor Swift and Travis. Taylor Swift triggers a
- 23:29Speaker 2: lot of dudes, Like really does trigger a lot of dudes.
- 23:33Speaker 5: All right, let's move along here, Bone. So all right,
- 23:36Speaker 5: you were telling me about this. Netflix is bringing back
- 23:39Speaker 5: a classic movie. But is this? Is this weird the
- 23:43Speaker 5: way they're doing this? And explain this to everybody? Okay,
- 23:46Speaker 5: listen Willie Walka the original? And then I hobo, I'm
- 23:50Speaker 5: so attached to the original. I never saw the other ones.
- 23:53Speaker 5: I never saw Shallow May, I never saw Johnny Depp.
- 23:55Speaker 5: I was already creeped out enough by the Gene Wilder version.
- 23:58Speaker 5: It's already a creepy character. So mack there. Netflix is
- 24:02Speaker 5: doing something called the Golden Ticket. Their version of Willy
- 24:06Speaker 5: Wonka will come out. Do you know what actor will
- 24:09Speaker 5: play Willy Wonka? Gene Wilders, who died ten years ago.
- 24:15Speaker 5: They start say, dying Willy Waka the Original. Back to
- 24:18Speaker 5: Gene Wilder. He is in the movie. Is why James
- 24:21Speaker 5: Earl Jones was justin Star Wars the voice. I will
- 24:24Speaker 5: say this.
- 24:25Speaker 2: Could you imagine Mac being an agent that had to
- 24:28Speaker 2: call an actor that didn't get this part and they say, yeah,
- 24:30Speaker 2: he did great. But they went a different direction with
- 24:32Speaker 2: the with the with the role. Oh who they hire?
- 24:35Speaker 2: They're gonna go with Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka. Oh
- 24:38Speaker 2: really the Sun No, no, the original?
- 24:41Speaker 3: He died.
- 24:41Speaker 2: He died at twenty sixth weird. Yeah, is that like,
- 24:45Speaker 2: is that is that a deterrent for people to watch this?
- 24:48Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know.
- 24:50Speaker 2: I mean, the whole characters already weird in itself. How
- 24:53Speaker 2: he asked, never mind having Willy Wonka. I don't know
- 24:55Speaker 2: if he's gonna play like the full Is it gonna
- 24:58Speaker 2: be a cameo?
- 24:58Speaker 3: I don't really know.
- 24:59Speaker 2: But just the fact even when NBC Mac uses Jim
- 25:03Speaker 2: Fagan as the NBC like lead in voice of their
- 25:06Speaker 2: broadcast for basketball like he used to the old voice
- 25:09Speaker 2: over guy voice is one thing, but it's still a
- 25:11Speaker 2: little bit odd that he's like talking about stuff from
- 25:13Speaker 2: now and he's been dead for a while.
- 25:14Speaker 3: It's a weird I don't know.
- 25:16Speaker 2: It's how are they going to when the Mack and
- 25:18Speaker 2: Bone Show and Mac Mac meets his demise or whatever?
- 25:22Speaker 3: Oh that says that things got really up beat here?
- 25:24Speaker 3: Now you can't. We can have you forever, though.
- 25:26Speaker 5: That's I'm glad to do it. I cannot do me
- 25:28Speaker 5: any good. I could talk to you forever. Mac. Well,
- 25:31Speaker 5: now when I keel over, man, y'all, just y'all, just
- 25:33Speaker 5: move me to side and rock and roll, baby, all right,
- 25:35Speaker 5: just rock and roll anyway. All right, let's continue here
- 25:39Speaker 5: on random crap on the Mac and Bone Show. We
- 25:42Speaker 5: have an interesting question Bone. After your uh you're back
- 25:45Speaker 5: and forth with Bebop? Where's my man at here? Stiffler?
- 25:49Speaker 5: Stiffler says Bone would my god, I'm struggling with this computer.
- 25:53Speaker 5: I'm such an unk. Bone would rather go out to
- 25:56Speaker 5: dinner with Jeffrey Dahmer than Bebop. Another text, I'm afraid
- 26:03Speaker 5: of what the second course might be, though, is be
- 26:05Speaker 5: buy what else you want to order you? Actually, by
- 26:10Speaker 5: the way, I'll might get eating like Murphy tries to
- 26:11Speaker 5: eat my arms. I'm ordering you another texter. Bone wants
- 26:15Speaker 5: to know is Bebop's real name, Chuck, So that's out there. Well,
- 26:18Speaker 5: it's all Brett.
- 26:20Speaker 3: Okay, you note that you looked this up.
- 26:23Speaker 2: Is it possible he's Ludwig found that out a while back.
- 26:26Speaker 2: Oh it's not you. He won something on the text
- 26:28Speaker 2: line and then it was Brett. Okay, I think it's
- 26:30Speaker 2: at to say it is Bob, but Bob Brett Bob.
- 26:34Speaker 5: All right, let's continue here with the random crap. So
- 26:38Speaker 5: we got a text her the other day when we
- 26:39Speaker 5: talked about the Phil Mickelson. The latest Phil Mickelson reports
- 26:42Speaker 5: that he's been kicked out of now two golf courses
- 26:45Speaker 5: that he was a member of because of inappropriate actions
- 26:48Speaker 5: allegedly towards a female. Then we had the story this
- 26:51Speaker 5: weekend Bone that Broke, that said from Alan Schipnook that
- 26:55Speaker 5: said that he talked to Pat Perez, to his the
- 26:59Speaker 5: golfers wife about Phil Mickelson when they were hanging out
- 27:02Speaker 5: together and Pat Perez went to the bathroom and Phil
- 27:06Speaker 5: showed her a nude photo of himself, fully nude, which,
- 27:09Speaker 5: by the way, does a woman want to look at that?
- 27:13Speaker 5: I mean, Philu're not exactly He's not exactly yoked bro like, yeah,
- 27:19Speaker 5: he should have just showed a naked calf photo that
- 27:22Speaker 5: might have turned her on. But anyway, the report says
- 27:26Speaker 5: she said that he showed her this photo and said,
- 27:28Speaker 5: when Pat falls asleep, tonight come join me in my room.
- 27:31Speaker 3: I'm gonna leave it unlock.
- 27:32Speaker 5: So we had a texture the other day saying surely
- 27:35Speaker 5: Amy Micholson is going to leave this dude now? Well,
- 27:38Speaker 5: no saw reports yesterday bone that she intends to stand
- 27:41Speaker 5: by her man, stand by Phil Mickolson through these times.
- 27:46Speaker 2: I would say she stuck her on for money. But
- 27:48Speaker 2: did he gamble the most of that away already?
- 27:49Speaker 3: That's true? How much does he have left?
- 27:51Speaker 5: Man?
- 27:52Speaker 3: Anyway? She had cancer like I wanted. Was he running around?
- 27:57Speaker 3: Well she had you know what I mean? Yeah, they had.
- 28:00Speaker 2: They had the whole moment after the Masters, when she
- 28:02Speaker 2: was battling through that and they met on the course.
- 28:04Speaker 2: It's like an all time feel good moment. He was
- 28:07Speaker 2: a guy that was like the anti Tiger Woods. Tiger
- 28:11Speaker 2: Woods went through all his stuff, but hey, Phil's still there,
- 28:13Speaker 2: the wholesome family guy that turns out, is he just
- 28:16Speaker 2: a total that might be more of a of a
- 28:18Speaker 2: bag the tiger Is he just a total Do you
- 28:21Speaker 2: know what kind of frame to be to say Tiger
- 28:23Speaker 2: is a better fams man than you are. By the way,
- 28:26Speaker 2: that John Collins to the Pistons on a three year
- 28:28Speaker 2: deal fifty one million dollars. Okay, so people are bringing
- 28:31Speaker 2: up because Hornets Tigers earlier.
- 28:33Speaker 5: I was gonna kick around John Collins a little bit,
- 28:37Speaker 5: you know, so interesting and the Pistons.
- 28:39Speaker 3: That goes. But they're so they are losing Duran there, probably.
- 28:42Speaker 2: Right, but they might they they needed a little bit
- 28:45Speaker 2: of a lob threat, big type, you know, down.
- 28:48Speaker 3: They still could you think they still could add some
- 28:50Speaker 3: bonus or you didn't guess? I think?
- 28:51Speaker 1: So?
- 28:51Speaker 5: Okay, that could be a sign in trade obviously for Duran.
- 28:54Speaker 5: We'll talk a little Hornets free agency. A guy that
- 28:57Speaker 5: got away, one of our favorites on the free agent
- 29:00Speaker 5: list got away too. We'll talk about that coming up
- 29:02Speaker 5: at eight forty five. Speaking of Fraud's bone, Phil Mickelson,
- 29:06Speaker 5: who could possibly be a fraud as a fan favorite? Right,
- 29:09Speaker 5: And this likable guy is Freddie, the German guy that
- 29:12Speaker 5: we all fell in love with on Twitter. Is this
- 29:15Speaker 5: man a fraud bone? He had been touring around the country.
- 29:19Speaker 5: People have been treating him like a king. I mean,
- 29:21Speaker 5: celebrities have given him the royal treatment. He made msg
- 29:26Speaker 5: at the Taylor trans he had blown up Bone and
- 29:30Speaker 5: we loved it because he loved our country and he's
- 29:32Speaker 5: this German fan. Well, he deactivated his account yesterday. It
- 29:37Speaker 5: turns out, Bone, there's a writer out there that dug
- 29:40Speaker 5: up some old tweets that indicate that not only is
- 29:43Speaker 5: this not his first time in America, as the tweets
- 29:47Speaker 5: made you believe like he was experiencing everything in America
- 29:49Speaker 5: for the first time, but he lived in America for
- 29:52Speaker 5: a year. He lived in Santa Barbara, California for a year.
- 29:57Speaker 5: There's also some tweets in there some people found offensive.
- 30:00Speaker 5: So that happened too, and Freddy has deactivated his account. Bone,
- 30:04Speaker 5: do we feel like Freddy's a fraud here? Are you
- 30:06Speaker 5: upset by this?
- 30:08Speaker 1: No?
- 30:08Speaker 2: I think he said before that he had been here before.
- 30:12Speaker 2: He tweeted that out a while ago. That did he say,
- 30:14Speaker 2: I don't think he's been here in the South before,
- 30:16Speaker 2: which is part.
- 30:17Speaker 3: Of the experience. That's true. That's true.
- 30:19Speaker 2: Look, man, I think yeah, I mean, maybe maybe he
- 30:22Speaker 2: didn't indicate how much he'd been here before, but Also
- 30:25Speaker 2: it goes to show you that that people, honestly, though
- 30:28Speaker 2: they have no lives, they couldn't just take it for
- 30:30Speaker 2: what it was on what the guy do his thing.
- 30:32Speaker 2: They had to dig in or write about. We can't.
- 30:36Speaker 2: We There are such losers out there that even if
- 30:40Speaker 2: it was fabricated by a little bit whatever, that they
- 30:42Speaker 2: have to dig and dig and dig and try. No
- 30:44Speaker 2: one can have anything be true anymore or believe in
- 30:48Speaker 2: anything anymore. We got to go right about the guy.
- 30:50Speaker 2: I told you a while ago that the Freddie's story
- 30:54Speaker 2: was going to turn when people tried to get rid
- 30:56Speaker 2: of him out of this country.
- 30:57Speaker 3: He tried to send him up on his way. Yeah,
- 30:59Speaker 3: happened that way. You did good. That's out there the
- 31:01Speaker 3: interne try to tear it. Man, there's some fabricated baby.
- 31:06Speaker 5: But I will say this, there's another part of this
- 31:07Speaker 5: this report out there. He apparently's a big Ronaldo fan.
- 31:11Speaker 5: Went to Saudi Arabia and to see Ronaldo play over
- 31:14Speaker 5: there for his club team, and stayed for a while
- 31:16Speaker 5: and was doing the same thing, tweeting about all the
- 31:19Speaker 5: great things in Saudi Arabia and.
- 31:22Speaker 3: Even defended them.
- 31:23Speaker 5: When it comes to human rights like this might be
- 31:26Speaker 5: his bit man like, it made not matter what.
- 31:31Speaker 2: A little bit of a choice. That's what people got skeptical.
- 31:34Speaker 2: I don't know, man, I just fell along the way.
- 31:36Speaker 2: Someone is going to try to you know what he did.
- 31:39Speaker 2: He's he was here for too long, meaning that the
- 31:42Speaker 2: story was cool for the group stage and this and that,
- 31:45Speaker 2: and everyone got into it. Eventually everybody was like, no,
- 31:46Speaker 2: I gotta put a stop. Butever, but eventually everything has
- 31:49Speaker 2: a shelf life on the internet before people started to
- 31:51Speaker 2: turn on it.
- 31:52Speaker 3: And that's what happened here.
- 31:52Speaker 2: By the way, if he would have left back a
- 31:54Speaker 2: week and a half ago or two weeks so, yeah,
- 31:55Speaker 2: no one would have thought anything about it.
- 31:56Speaker 3: Real quick because he got to get to a fitdeo.
- 31:57Speaker 1: He left. He left.
- 31:58Speaker 3: He have to write around the time, I do want.
- 32:03Speaker 5: Dead panther Bo says, the Mac and Bone Show is
- 32:07Speaker 5: gonna have AI be bop at some point on the
- 32:09Speaker 5: show might be already. I do need to point out
- 32:11Speaker 5: that Bone has been telling me this dude is from
- 32:14Speaker 5: like that Freddy. He thinks it is from Rust and
- 32:16Speaker 5: Louisiana and it's all a fraud. You've been saying that
- 32:19Speaker 5: the who.
- 32:20Speaker 2: I said, are they going to try to find out
- 32:22Speaker 2: something that we're gonna find out he's from acro Ohio
- 32:24Speaker 2: or something. But I don't I don't think that was true.
- 32:27Speaker 2: A couple other tidbits.
- 32:30Speaker 5: A former German captain has blamed the Germany loss on
- 32:33Speaker 5: the wives and girlfriends that they.
- 32:35Speaker 3: Were they were a distraction.
- 32:37Speaker 5: Seriously, when you're a man and uf up and you
- 32:40Speaker 5: blame it on your wife and girlfriend, get the hell
- 32:43Speaker 5: out of here when it takes some damn accountability, you dude,
- 32:46Speaker 5: you had, you had four of your players that reportedly
- 32:51Speaker 5: said I'm too scared to take a penalty shot, and
- 32:53Speaker 5: you trying to blame the wives and girlfriends. By the way,
- 32:57Speaker 5: how about Paraguay when they beat Germany? There isn't it
- 33:00Speaker 5: declared the next day in national holiday? Any chance we
- 33:03Speaker 5: can get that? If the US wins a couple more games,
- 33:06Speaker 5: a chance we can get that?
- 33:07Speaker 3: All right? What have we got over there? Ninety two?
- 33:09Speaker 3: We have one coming up.
- 33:12Speaker 7: Saturday, Independence Day, national holiday.
- 33:17Speaker 3: You should get Friday off, but you gotta work. You're

- 34:23Speaker 7: just want to update you on NBA free agency. Had
- 34:27Speaker 7: some moves made last night. Kawhi Leonard going back to Toronto,
- 34:32Speaker 7: traded from the Clippers to the Raptors, and the Washington
- 34:37Speaker 7: Wizards are not listening to trade offers for veteran big
- 34:40Speaker 7: man Anthony Davis. After all the rumors about a potential
- 34:45Speaker 7: trade to get him in Golden State with Lebron James.
- 34:49Speaker 3: If LBJ does land there in free agency, there's the
- 34:53Speaker 3: free agency update.
- 34:54Speaker 2: We're gonna do more of that on the way back
- 34:56Speaker 2: from the Hornets perspective. NBA free agency underway is chef
- 35:01Speaker 2: Jeff Cooking? Why are fans Lincoln the Lebron to the Hornets?
- 35:05Speaker 2: And Skip Bayless is not happy with the Charlotte trades.
- 35:08Speaker 2: You're gonna hear from Skip but come back anyway. On
- 35:11Speaker 2: Sports Radio ninety seven WFNZ.
- 35:37Speaker 8: Oh, I just know hit the hell out of Fitty
- 35:40Speaker 8: right now, man, I just did it for sport.
- 35:43Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Fitty, I just did it for sport. There.
- 35:45Speaker 5: I just did it just to enjoy it, Fitty says.
- 35:48Speaker 5: I said, we're gonna toss to both these audio cuts.
- 35:50Speaker 5: We got Skip Bayless and then we have a classic
- 35:53Speaker 5: cut about Lebron's love of Bojangles, and fifty said, where
- 35:57Speaker 5: are you going? I said, nowhere. I'm just gonna sit
- 35:59Speaker 5: right here, and then I just went on. Fiddy never
- 36:01Speaker 5: got the answer. He doesn't know what cuts we're coming
- 36:02Speaker 5: up in what order?
- 36:04Speaker 3: Fitty?
- 36:05Speaker 5: Just a little office high jinks, maybe a little high jinks.
- 36:08Speaker 3: You know, when's your cruise again? Next week? And it's
- 36:12Speaker 3: just just five just five days. Just I'm off for
- 36:15Speaker 3: a week, and that good for you.
- 36:16Speaker 1: Fitty.
- 36:16Speaker 2: It's gonna be a interesting time for the old bone
- 36:20Speaker 2: next week to have to spend my days without Mac
- 36:24Speaker 2: and really a different role that I play and you'll hear,
- 36:27Speaker 2: but I have to do that while also coaching up
- 36:29Speaker 2: Murphy during during the day. I'm gonna have a lot
- 36:31Speaker 2: going on next week, are I.
- 36:33Speaker 3: I'm gonna have a lot. I could be a little
- 36:34Speaker 3: bit on edge next week.
- 36:35Speaker 5: Fitty and a puppy, how are you gonna deal with that?
- 36:38Speaker 5: You're gonna handle any Why don't you stay with me
- 36:40Speaker 5: and just help me take care of Murphy.
- 36:41Speaker 3: During I can I gotta watch Rocket and Bacon.
- 36:43Speaker 2: That's true, or he's watching my dogs. Who I bring
- 36:46Speaker 2: Big Murph over to you during the day. Make a
- 36:48Speaker 2: three's company there at the house. All right, Addie, let's
- 36:52Speaker 2: get to the hornets here.
- 36:52Speaker 5: We're supposed to make this come out next door.
- 36:56Speaker 3: Let's talk about the hornets.
- 36:57Speaker 5: So about that Hornet's free agency update, I don't really
- 37:01Speaker 5: have an update. I do know that ro We talked
- 37:03Speaker 5: about John Collins and Detroit. Robert Williams was one of
- 37:08Speaker 5: the two big s Bone that we have been talking
- 37:10Speaker 5: about as kind of you know, I think they need
- 37:12Speaker 5: rim protection. I think back up point guard feel like
- 37:15Speaker 5: the two biggest needs right now. Now listen, they got
- 37:17Speaker 5: that big old trade exception. Maybe they use that to
- 37:20Speaker 5: bring somebody in. I know people have been talking about
- 37:22Speaker 5: Drew Holliday absorbed that thirty four million if Portland's willing
- 37:25Speaker 5: to trade him and put it in there in our
- 37:27Speaker 5: trade exception. But Robert Williams resigns with Portland, so that
- 37:31Speaker 5: takes one of the two big men along with Mitchell
- 37:35Speaker 5: Robinson that we were talking about, off the board. Have
- 37:37Speaker 5: you seen anything else Bone that you look at and
- 37:39Speaker 5: say that like, oh dang, that stinks for the Horns
- 37:42Speaker 5: because we haven't been in a single rumor after and
- 37:44Speaker 5: maybe that's best.
- 37:45Speaker 3: Maybe we do need to take a deep breath right
- 37:47Speaker 3: now after last week.
- 37:48Speaker 2: Well one already having the other day that I brought up,
- 37:50Speaker 2: I thought, and this is Befo now I was thinking
- 37:53Speaker 2: about him before they brought in you know, Grayson and
- 37:55Speaker 2: that stuff as backward depth.
- 37:57Speaker 3: I thought.
- 37:58Speaker 2: Jose Alvarado, as I said, been a nice little toughness
- 38:01Speaker 2: back up a transitional piece. Well Anderson grows and he
- 38:07Speaker 2: gives you a little bit of winning at I thought
- 38:09Speaker 2: Jose Alvarado on a nice deal, cheap deal, a little bit,
- 38:12Speaker 2: a nice veteran energy piece.
- 38:14Speaker 3: But he's already going back to the Knicks. I think, so.
- 38:16Speaker 2: That's that's awesome. Somebody said, Jens, that's not a huge deal,
- 38:19Speaker 2: but that's what I thought of.
- 38:20Speaker 5: Someone said Dennis Shrewder the other day, I wouldn't mind that,
- 38:23Speaker 5: you know, again as a guard that like if if
- 38:26Speaker 5: Anderson needs more time, he's he's productive, but he's productive,
- 38:30Speaker 5: but he moves around a lot, right, he's always he
- 38:32Speaker 5: does he does. And then obviously to Portland guys, we
- 38:36Speaker 5: just mentioned Drew Holliday, I'm I'm fully on board with
- 38:38Speaker 5: the menascut reboot.
- 38:40Speaker 3: I'm fully on board with that.
- 38:42Speaker 5: Again, not with the expectations that always he's some superstar,
- 38:45Speaker 5: although I do still think I still think there's more potential. Man,
- 38:50Speaker 5: I think he's just starting to scratch a stor But
- 38:52Speaker 5: I wouldn't mind depending at Portland on trade there was
- 38:55Speaker 5: a report yesterday but to Portland wants to keep every
- 38:57Speaker 5: one of those point guards. Now, I don't know if
- 38:59Speaker 5: that's just smoke screen stuff you know, to try to
- 39:02Speaker 5: make it seem like they aren't desperate to get rid of.
- 39:04Speaker 2: What position are you most intrigued by? So we can
- 39:07Speaker 2: go through some of the Is it that backup point?
- 39:10Speaker 3: Guard? Is it another big?
- 39:11Speaker 4: Like?
- 39:11Speaker 3: Where where are we little two spots?
- 39:13Speaker 2: Because you're testing bigs and then and then because there's
- 39:16Speaker 2: a backup point. There's a guy here on the list
- 39:19Speaker 2: and I've always liked, but he hasn't done quite as
- 39:21Speaker 2: well in the NBA. Yabaselli is a free agent, the
- 39:25Speaker 2: power forward from France who did really well against us.
- 39:29Speaker 3: Now he went to the Knicks in the city.
- 39:30Speaker 2: He hasn't done as well in America, but he is
- 39:33Speaker 2: a he is a he's got a how do I
- 39:36Speaker 2: put this? He's got some uh got some junk at
- 39:38Speaker 2: the trunk there on the board. Yeah, I don't. I mean,
- 39:41Speaker 2: are we good at the power forward spot now? But
- 39:43Speaker 2: again we don't know if we are, Like, like, do
- 39:45Speaker 2: they make a big move and trade osried? I wouldn't
- 39:48Speaker 2: think so, but lord knows with Boston and Jaylen Brown
- 39:50Speaker 2: they did Nosrik. Who knows what our rosters? You know,
- 39:54Speaker 2: which that's gonna do? This organization loves duke players. What
- 39:58Speaker 2: about taking a flyer on Marvin Back as a backup
- 40:00Speaker 2: big man Dukie Filth. He's on a small deal. He
- 40:04Speaker 2: actually was a little bit. I'm just I'm going through
- 40:07Speaker 2: the names of some players here that I'm reading. Yeah,
- 40:09Speaker 2: I don't I'm not saying these are world beaters, but
- 40:11Speaker 2: I don't know if they're gonna I don't know if
- 40:12Speaker 2: they're gonna sign any I mean, if they're going to
- 40:15Speaker 2: trade for a big name, that's one thing. I don't
- 40:17Speaker 2: know if they're going to go off and sign anyone
- 40:19Speaker 2: that's like a huge name here.
- 40:21Speaker 5: I'm not even thinking you hear the names. I'm saying
- 40:23Speaker 5: they're not big names. I don't know what it would
- 40:25Speaker 5: take to get scooed again. I don't know how much
- 40:26Speaker 5: draft collateral they want to give up right now, and
- 40:29Speaker 5: if they want to just keep holding on to it
- 40:30Speaker 5: and building that treasure chest.
- 40:32Speaker 3: Let's Dre.
- 40:33Speaker 2: Drummond's unrestricted, a big old beast. He's a top ten
- 40:38Speaker 2: reboundery to Robinson Mitchell, Robinson is is would be great,
- 40:42Speaker 2: wouldn't he?
- 40:43Speaker 3: Yeah, we talked about him last week when you were
- 40:45Speaker 3: gone again. It would be yes.
- 40:46Speaker 2: But we're looking for more options, is what Andre Drummond
- 40:48Speaker 2: is a weak level rebounder. I don't know if that's
- 40:51Speaker 2: where I'm just I'm just trying to throw out some
- 40:52Speaker 2: my deals. I think we need rim protection one way
- 40:54Speaker 2: or the other. Again, I take you back to Miles
- 40:56Speaker 2: Turner trades. You don't want to go there, though, do
- 40:58Speaker 2: you You know that's another option.
- 41:01Speaker 5: Anyway, Let's get to a couple of other things here, Bone,
- 41:04Speaker 5: I present you with an option. I present you Bone
- 41:07Speaker 5: with Hornet Sweater's option to sign as a free agent
- 41:11Speaker 5: for Jeff Peterson. Lebron James Boney, he told Rich Paul reportedly,
- 41:18Speaker 5: find every team that has any interest in me and
- 41:20Speaker 5: go talk to him. I point you to the reason
- 41:24Speaker 5: why Hornet's Twitter is bringing up Lebron James Q Ryan
- 41:29Speaker 5: McGee a year or two ago. I think it was
- 41:33Speaker 5: on the Pat McAfee show. Listen to this, Charlotte. I'm
- 41:39Speaker 5: a Hornets guy, right, come on down, he said, Phoenix.
- 41:41Speaker 6: You know Lebron James loves Charlotte, and the reason he
- 41:44Speaker 6: loves Charlotte is because bo Jangles. I'm not making this
- 41:47Speaker 6: a bo Jangles chick. I wrote a story about this
- 41:49Speaker 6: and damn PSP in the magazine. Well Lebron James was
- 41:51Speaker 6: a rookie. The deal was he would leave games at
- 41:54Speaker 6: the Old Hive to take away food to go get
- 41:56Speaker 6: on the plane after a game for the visiting team
- 41:58Speaker 6: was a little two piece box of pride chicken from
- 42:00Speaker 6: bow Jngles.
- 42:01Speaker 3: You know bo Jingles?
- 42:02Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, and so so Lebron James became so obsessed
- 42:05Speaker 6: with bow Jangles. He would own the plane as a rookie,
- 42:08Speaker 6: panned out cash and he'd take it all home. And
- 42:10Speaker 6: finally he would send the clubhouse attendant to go buy
- 42:12Speaker 6: like one of these tailgate packs to take back to
- 42:14Speaker 6: Cleveland with him.
- 42:15Speaker 5: Mister McGee, I'm not holding my breath on Charlotte, you are.
- 42:21Speaker 3: I can make that happen. I know, people.
- 42:24Speaker 6: I wrote that story in ESPN, the magazine, and I
- 42:26Speaker 6: remember arguing with the editors, who are all based in Manhattan.
- 42:28Speaker 6: We can't write the story. I'm like, yeah, we can.
- 42:30Speaker 6: It's delicious fried chickens. Can't we write the story? I
- 42:34Speaker 6: understand what the problem. It's amazing.
- 42:35Speaker 3: It's come on, Charlotte, I'm a hornet, all right.
- 42:40Speaker 5: So that was was that the last time Lebron was
- 42:43Speaker 5: a free agent?
- 42:45Speaker 2: I mean, was it the time before that or the
- 42:46Speaker 2: time before that or the time before that. It's not
- 42:48Speaker 2: to be way way back. That would have to be
- 42:50Speaker 2: what the twenty twenty ten years ago?
- 42:52Speaker 3: So all right, I think it was within the last
- 42:54Speaker 3: couple of years. Maybe, Okay, I don't know. He resigned.
- 42:58Speaker 3: I know if you did. He resign with the Lake
- 43:00Speaker 3: Oh you did, right, yeah, yeah, we've used the don
- 43:03Speaker 3: We used the clip before, and it is going viral
- 43:07Speaker 3: and is going viral again.
- 43:09Speaker 5: Even Bojangles got involved in the talk about hey, Brian,
- 43:12Speaker 5: you got Bojangles here.
- 43:13Speaker 3: Of course he's not going to the Charlotte Hornets though,
- 43:15Speaker 3: but it's fun. It's fun. What is not fun?
- 43:17Speaker 5: Bone is asking this question, do we have to agree
- 43:21Speaker 5: with Skip Dayless on the Hornets? Listen to Skip Dayless here.
- 43:24Speaker 5: He is very trouble Bone by the Hornets trading LaMelo
- 43:28Speaker 5: ball in Miles Bridges.
- 43:30Speaker 4: I'm a big fan of Lamelos. I know LeVar, and
- 43:33Speaker 4: LeVar was telling me as early as twenty seventeen, my
- 43:37Speaker 4: youngest one's going to be by far the best one,
- 43:39Speaker 4: and he was correct once again about that. And I
- 43:44Speaker 4: know LaMelo and he's zany and wacky and all those
- 43:47Speaker 4: things that you guys talked about he has a history
- 43:52Speaker 4: of reckless driving off the court, and he has a
- 43:55Speaker 4: history of reckless driving on the court in crazy shot
- 43:59Speaker 4: taking and making, and yet he's just a talent that
- 44:04Speaker 4: you can't replace. So this thing came together around Miles Bridges.
- 44:10Speaker 4: To me, he was the leader of it. He was
- 44:13Speaker 4: the veteran, He was the calming force and in some
- 44:17Speaker 4: ways the driving force because he set the physical tone
- 44:20Speaker 4: for that team. And he's not a great player, and
- 44:23Speaker 4: I'm not saying he's going to change life in Phoenix
- 44:25Speaker 4: because he won't, but he fit what they were doing
- 44:28Speaker 4: in Charlotte as a guy who made key plays in
- 44:32Speaker 4: big games for them, and you just blew that up.
- 44:38Speaker 4: I don't because you don't trust either LaMelo or Miles
- 44:43Speaker 4: going forward. You don't have to pay him or count
- 44:46Speaker 4: on him or depend on them going forward. And it's
- 44:49Speaker 4: just wrong because you had it right in your lap
- 44:53Speaker 4: and it needed another year to just grow and mature.
- 45:00Speaker 2: Do we agree with skip Hornets fans? I don't really.
- 45:03Speaker 2: I think it's question. I don't think it's not the
- 45:05Speaker 2: bridgest part. I don't give a damn. I understand that
- 45:08Speaker 2: the attachment people had, but I also look at it as, yeah,
- 45:12Speaker 2: it's it's it's the concerning part is what's next. But
- 45:17Speaker 2: I also look at it as Miles was here for
- 45:19Speaker 2: eight years, played in seven of those years, Wamelo was
- 45:22Speaker 2: here for six years, was injured for a lot of
- 45:24Speaker 2: those years. In the in the thirteen combined years they've
- 45:27Speaker 2: played together, they have no playoff games appeared in. And
- 45:30Speaker 2: it's thought out of their fault, but some of.
- 45:31Speaker 5: It is, so are you now in the point where
- 45:33Speaker 5: you were one hundred percent behind the little Melo balls?
- 45:35Speaker 4: Right?
- 45:35Speaker 2: I like, I was shocked by it, but I'm okay
- 45:38Speaker 2: with it, and I think that they're going to be
- 45:40Speaker 2: better off in the long run because of this move.
- 45:42Speaker 2: They may it may take away, may, it may take
- 45:45Speaker 2: a while to get there, but I do believe that
- 45:48Speaker 2: they will be a better basketball team going forward because
- 45:50Speaker 2: of those moves.
- 45:51Speaker 3: They may be.
- 45:52Speaker 5: Well, hell, you said you think they're better this year,
- 45:53Speaker 5: so I guess yeah, I guess you're full in on
- 45:56Speaker 5: trading LaMelo. I still and the part about the part
- 45:59Speaker 5: that Skip said there, and some people are like, I
- 46:01Speaker 5: didn't even need to hear it.
- 46:02Speaker 3: I don't have to agree. I know I don't agree
- 46:04Speaker 3: to Skip.
- 46:05Speaker 5: The part that Skip said there that I felt, and
- 46:07Speaker 5: I think most Hornets fans felt, was we had something
- 46:10Speaker 5: going there. Skip gave out the numbers. I gave out
- 46:13Speaker 5: the numbers all the time. Number one net efficiency, number one,
- 46:16Speaker 5: offense efficiency, number five d they even play really good
- 46:19Speaker 5: defense number five defense efficiency, number one starting lineup in
- 46:23Speaker 5: the sport Bone since January first. I would have liked
- 46:26Speaker 5: to see again Miles Bridges. I would have absolutely traded.
- 46:29Speaker 5: I absolutely traded, but I would have liked to see
- 46:32Speaker 5: the Big three play again. And I would like to
- 46:35Speaker 5: see them add Bone to that Big three and let
- 46:39Speaker 5: those guys have this offseason where they've all been hitting
- 46:41Speaker 5: the weight room and try to bulk up. And I
- 46:43Speaker 5: would have given it another year to see where we
- 46:45Speaker 5: can go. Do I understand what Jeff Peterson is doing, Yes,
- 46:49Speaker 5: I do understand it. But from that part of what
- 46:52Speaker 5: Skip dyes is saying, I wanted to see us run
- 46:55Speaker 5: that back.
- 46:56Speaker 2: Okay, I do I understand that, But what if they
- 46:59Speaker 2: run it back and Mellow sprained his ankle in November
- 47:02Speaker 2: and misses most of the season, and all of a
- 47:04Speaker 2: sudden we go backwards again, and then his trade value
- 47:06Speaker 2: diministrats they sold. Did they get the most back? We
- 47:10Speaker 2: thought eventually no, But I think they did it at
- 47:12Speaker 2: a time where they thought, if we don't do this, now,
- 47:15Speaker 2: it's his body gonna hold up to where we'll never
- 47:18Speaker 2: be able to trade a branding a value.
- 47:20Speaker 3: I completely understand their thought process. I do too.
- 47:23Speaker 5: And we'll see maybe maybe Mellow will get hurt and
- 47:25Speaker 5: they'll be able to say you know, they won't say it,
- 47:27Speaker 5: but like maybe everybody will be saying, okay, now we
- 47:29Speaker 5: know what they're thinking or whatever. But yeah, I mean,
- 47:33Speaker 5: I just the Lamello thing bothers me. The Miles Bridges thing,
- 47:36Speaker 5: not not at all. But Skip Bayless is sad. Bo
- 47:39Speaker 5: Skip Bayless is sad.
- 47:40Speaker 2: Well, I'm sad because I heard Skip Bayless. I thought
- 47:43Speaker 2: when he was but I thought when the guy ran
- 47:46Speaker 2: out of Fox that we stop here from skin. But
- 47:48Speaker 2: it turns out he's got other platforms when we come back.
- 47:51Speaker 2: Willie p talks the US game tonight, the World Cup
- 47:54Speaker 2: as a whole, and I do think Mack he's got
- 47:56Speaker 2: some gripes with us.
- 47:57Speaker 3: I'm not Joe.
- 47:58Speaker 2: I don't know who he's mad at now, might be me,
- 47:59Speaker 2: and be you might be fitty. I don't know, Willie
