Speaker 4: He did it while I called him, He's already ready
0:30
Speaker 4: to go.
0:30
Speaker 1: I didn't do this. He's defended the beaver I did.
0:37
Speaker 1: I did not do this just to gaslight the P Man.
0:40
Speaker 1: It could just coincidentally bone happened right before p came on.
0:45
Speaker 1: Wasn't trying to do that. I'm trying to talk about
0:46
Speaker 1: the big Charlotte f C news.
0:48
Speaker 5: You would not do with top of the eight forty five,
0:50
Speaker 5: with Willie at nine.
0:52
Speaker 1: You wouldn't the kind of thing I will you do? Now?
0:54
Speaker 6: What you do?
0:54
Speaker 1: All right, let's bring on Willie p acc football talk
0:57
Speaker 1: coming up by the way, nine twenty five, as well
1:00
Speaker 1: the conference in town starting today media days. Uh, P Man,
1:05
Speaker 1: Did I upset you? P Man?
1:08
Speaker 6: So I didn't hear what you said, So you're gonna
1:10
Speaker 6: have to enlighten me. But but I heard somebody has
1:15
Speaker 6: has told me that you you slendered the great institution
1:18
Speaker 6: known as Bucky's. And I'm saying, you know, what is
1:21
Speaker 6: wrong with you? Garbage human being.
1:23
Speaker 5: Over overrated. Overrated was the word experience. So yeah, yeah,
1:29
Speaker 5: it's what did you do there?
1:31
Speaker 1: My issue was My issue was it's it's like this
1:35
Speaker 1: tourist destination. Right, So we're driving all the way down
1:39
Speaker 1: to Port Canaveral for the cruise. So we're on this
1:42
Speaker 1: long trip and then you can barely It takes you
1:44
Speaker 1: forever to get off the exit because everybody wants to
1:47
Speaker 1: visit the Beaver. Then you got to get there to
1:50
Speaker 1: the gas station. Then it's the most crowded, ginormous parking
1:53
Speaker 1: lot I've ever seen for a gas station.
1:55
Speaker 6: Then it's Peter, I wonder why, because it's overrated, right.
1:58
Speaker 1: People overload insight. They don't have Mountain Dew because they
2:03
Speaker 1: got an exclusive deal with Coke, which is absurd for
2:05
Speaker 1: a gas station and convenience station. And it's it's you
2:08
Speaker 1: know what it is, It's an inconvenience. It's an inconvenience,
2:12
Speaker 1: is what it is.
2:12
Speaker 6: This sounds like such stupid, stupid selective criticism. Did you
2:18
Speaker 6: try the big bucking brisket sandwich?
2:20
Speaker 5: No?
2:20
Speaker 1: I did not think we already we already ate lunch.
2:22
Speaker 1: I did not try that.
2:24
Speaker 6: You told me that you're slander for Puckies.
2:27
Speaker 3: Oh but because they don't have your precious stupid mountain dew.
2:30
Speaker 1: No, it's because it's such a circus that it takes
2:34
Speaker 1: forever to make a stop. It's not a good road
2:37
Speaker 1: trip ownership taken BUCkies.
2:39
Speaker 3: You're very offended right now because he's because you're because
2:43
Speaker 3: you're misappropriating all this anger after not having done anything
2:48
Speaker 3: that actually makes Bucky famous.
2:50
Speaker 1: I have a question.
2:50
Speaker 5: I've not been to BUCkies, but what can you do
2:53
Speaker 5: with BUCkies You can't do at your your your QT station, better.
2:58
Speaker 6: Food, better opportun it needs to buy things, incredible gear.
3:02
Speaker 6: I mean, it's like a it's like a home goods,
3:04
Speaker 6: a bass pro shops, and a pretty dice quality restaurant.
3:09
Speaker 6: I guarantee you probably get better meat at BUCkies than
3:12
Speaker 6: you do with your local chili's bone.
3:14
Speaker 1: Sorry, don't hear about that. That's a lie. BUCkies is
3:17
Speaker 1: a place on the side of the highway when we're
3:19
Speaker 1: on a road trip. I don't want to stop for
3:22
Speaker 1: forty minutes. I don't need to buy the big mouth
3:24
Speaker 1: billy bass fish I don't need that. I need gas
3:29
Speaker 1: and I need you. I don't like. It's just it's
3:32
Speaker 1: just if I live near one and could leisurely stop there,
3:35
Speaker 1: I would appreciate it more. It's a horrible road trip
3:38
Speaker 1: stop like, I'm never stopping again on a road trip.
3:42
Speaker 1: It's a pain in the ass.
3:44
Speaker 6: See you're telling me your stopped for BUCkies would be
3:46
Speaker 6: longer than your two day cruise, Right.
3:49
Speaker 1: It felt like it. It did feel like. It did
3:51
Speaker 1: feel like it.
3:52
Speaker 6: Usually people when they go on cruises, I think they
3:54
Speaker 6: go like longer than two days.
3:55
Speaker 1: It was a four It was a four night cruise,
3:57
Speaker 1: you boob, what are you talking about? Okay, oh my gosh.
4:01
Speaker 6: You spent more time in the car down of Florda
4:02
Speaker 6: than you did on the water.
4:04
Speaker 5: Hey stops, hey, stop stop sending in the Willie brisket tax.
4:09
Speaker 1: All right, it's enough. Yes, I undeserved that it always
4:11
Speaker 1: being so kind today does not deserve any of those
4:14
Speaker 1: actually bookmark those bony All right, let's talk to Charlotte
4:17
Speaker 1: FCP because it.
4:18
Speaker 3: Loves better brisket than me. I don't care. Go ahead
4:20
Speaker 3: tell them they do I am brisket than me.
4:23
Speaker 1: Fine, go ahead, I am kind of mad I didn't
4:25
Speaker 1: get the brisket. Maybe I'll go back one time. All right, anyway,
4:29
Speaker 1: let's uh, let's talk about Charlotte FC. I don't want
4:32
Speaker 1: our dispute over BUCkies to take Charlotte FC off the
4:36
Speaker 1: front page. Two huge news stories this week. Let's start
4:40
Speaker 1: before we get to the big signing that I'm telling you,
4:42
Speaker 1: p Man, you are going you know it, You're this
4:44
Speaker 1: dude's gonna make you scream on highlight clips. But before
4:48
Speaker 1: we get to Allen Saint maximum signing, let's just talk
4:51
Speaker 1: about the move to do away with the PSLs. I
4:55
Speaker 1: thought they were extremely honest yesterday, the cro talking openly about, hey,
5:00
Speaker 1: you know, our tenants has dropped. It's still second in league,
5:02
Speaker 1: by the way, it's twenty eight thousand per But I
5:05
Speaker 1: thought it was honest. I really think it's a fan
5:07
Speaker 1: friendly move. What would you say? I'm sure a lot
5:10
Speaker 1: of fans are asking you about it. What would you
5:12
Speaker 1: say about this move that they're making.
5:15
Speaker 6: I mean, I think it's one of those things where
5:17
Speaker 6: they went out to the fans, that they engaged the
5:20
Speaker 6: fans in a big way. They had about six or
5:23
Speaker 6: seven different focus groups over the course of a couple
5:27
Speaker 6: of month period they had a chance to listen to them,
5:30
Speaker 6: and I think one of the things the universally said
5:32
Speaker 6: was the PSLs are a barrier to entry and they
5:36
Speaker 6: are something that doesn't necessarily go over well. And that
5:40
Speaker 6: particular point hit home with a lot of people in
5:43
Speaker 6: the Charlotte of cefront office and hit home with ownership.
5:46
Speaker 6: And so they made the decision to discontinue the TSL
5:49
Speaker 6: ticketing model. And if they had just done that would
5:53
Speaker 6: have been great. I think it would have been something
5:55
Speaker 6: that was met with universal approval. But the fact that
5:58
Speaker 6: they're coming back now and saying, look, the money that
6:00
Speaker 6: you paid in if you were new with us, we're
6:02
Speaker 6: going to give that money back to you. And I
6:03
Speaker 6: think that's something that's an incredible gesture of goodwill. And
6:07
Speaker 6: what Eric stood all that the Chief Revenue officer. Yes,
6:10
Speaker 6: they call it an investment in the fans, and I
6:11
Speaker 6: think it's a cool thing that they're allowing this to
6:15
Speaker 6: take place. And the other part of this too is
6:18
Speaker 6: that well that was kind of the main news catching item.
6:21
Speaker 6: There's plenty of other things that they said yesterday that
6:24
Speaker 6: I think deserve some attention. They said they're going to
6:27
Speaker 6: do another reduction and ticket prices over the course of
6:30
Speaker 6: the next year about six percent across the board. Not
6:32
Speaker 6: every seat's going to go down. Some might stay stationary
6:35
Speaker 6: or go up incrementally in more premium areas, but for
6:38
Speaker 6: the most part, tickets are going to go down. There's
6:41
Speaker 6: going to be significant reduction in the supporter section tickets,
6:44
Speaker 6: which is I think is also pretty good. I know
6:46
Speaker 6: people talk a lot about food and concession. They're making
6:49
Speaker 6: an effort right now to make sure that for basically
6:51
Speaker 6: almost every game there's going to be some kind of
6:53
Speaker 6: value benefit food special For example, get the dollar hot
6:56
Speaker 6: dogs next week five dollars beers. They're trying to make
6:59
Speaker 6: sure that for most games they're going to have something
7:03
Speaker 6: like that for people who you know, are feeling a
7:05
Speaker 6: little bit of a squeeze when it comes to the
7:07
Speaker 6: concession prices too. And it's never going to be Atlanta.
7:09
Speaker 6: I know people to say, why can't it be Are
7:11
Speaker 6: there blanks Atlanta? It's not going to be that. But
7:14
Speaker 6: they're doing a good job I think of listening to
7:16
Speaker 6: some concerns and also for those who are going to
7:18
Speaker 6: be thinking members, they're finding other ways also to make
7:21
Speaker 6: sure that you get more out of your purchase, like benefits,
7:24
Speaker 6: experiences going down to the vault, things like that.
7:27
Speaker 5: That is the voice of Charlotte FC and the Bucky Coo,
7:31
Speaker 5: will Platchik here on the Mac and bone Joe Willie.
7:34
Speaker 5: Are you expecting a big boost off the World Cup
7:38
Speaker 5: for MLS here off the start the restart?
7:42
Speaker 6: I think it should be, especially if the conversation that
7:45
Speaker 6: we've been seeing, whether it's online or the people that
7:48
Speaker 6: we've seen out at bars and things of that nature,
7:50
Speaker 6: if that's to be believed, I think definitely Charlotte see
7:53
Speaker 6: can can get a bump here. I just I feel
7:55
Speaker 6: bad we don't have more home games right after the
7:57
Speaker 6: World Cup other than than this one and the All
8:00
Speaker 6: Star game. After that, you know, we have to wait
8:02
Speaker 6: until the fifteenth of August for another league game. There
8:04
Speaker 6: is a League's Cup in the early part of August,
8:06
Speaker 6: but I would have liked to see some more league
8:08
Speaker 6: games stacked up here at the end of July. But
8:11
Speaker 6: it should be a lot of fun out there, and
8:12
Speaker 6: I think two people are looking for a way to
8:15
Speaker 6: kind of keep this thing going. I've seen a lot
8:17
Speaker 6: of messages on social media saying, you know what do
8:19
Speaker 6: we do once the World Cup is over, well, come
8:21
Speaker 6: out to a Charlotte of C game. I think it's
8:23
Speaker 6: the best in game atmosphere of any sport that we
8:25
Speaker 6: have in this city. And I've not to say anything
8:27
Speaker 6: bad about the other two, but I think it's something
8:30
Speaker 6: that once you go to it. People who I've known
8:33
Speaker 6: who have not been to soccer gainst before and have
8:35
Speaker 6: gone to Charlotte CEE have always come back to me
8:37
Speaker 6: and said, man, this is something that I wasn't expecting
8:39
Speaker 6: and something that I'll have to go to again as well.
8:41
Speaker 1: Willie, I will say this, you have rallied Bucky's nation.
8:45
Speaker 1: The segment before it felt like it was more people
8:47
Speaker 1: like saying Mac is right, you know, But now Bucky's
8:50
Speaker 1: nation is rising up, including the people that are talking
8:54
Speaker 1: about how great in the bathroom is. And I will
8:56
Speaker 1: agree with you on that they are.
8:58
Speaker 6: The maps are immaculate, but that they.
9:00
Speaker 1: Are like it's like, you, how does that happen? He
9:03
Speaker 1: eat the brisket off the floor. It's like so clean,
9:05
Speaker 1: and they're just enormous.
9:08
Speaker 6: You want to know how it happens. They pay their
9:10
Speaker 6: workers a fair wage? What as that's what kind of
9:14
Speaker 6: thing is that they're they're they're workers like people. People
9:17
Speaker 6: make careers out of working at BUCkies.
9:19
Speaker 1: Man, it's incredible. All right, Pete Maham is the Are
9:22
Speaker 1: you the PR guy for BUCkies in your spare time?
9:24
Speaker 1: All right? Real quick? Be the PR guy for Maxi,
9:27
Speaker 1: brand new winger signed by Charlotte FC. I. I have
9:31
Speaker 1: to be honest, pe I was very grumpy when the
9:34
Speaker 1: Zaha thing, like, just you know, he plays his last game,
9:38
Speaker 1: he's out. It's like, oh man, there's gonna be no
9:40
Speaker 1: more contract talks or anything. But man, he's younger. He
9:45
Speaker 1: is so fast, explosive, Like, what do you think about
9:48
Speaker 1: this edition? And do you think Zorin seemed to tease
9:51
Speaker 1: with us? And I think he might have talked to
9:53
Speaker 1: you about it. It's it's he seems to be definitely
9:56
Speaker 1: hinting that this window there's probably at least one more edition.
9:59
Speaker 6: What do you well, I think there's I'll take that
10:03
Speaker 6: part after I talk about Maxi. MAXI I think is
10:07
Speaker 6: gonna be somebody who's incredibly dynamic. He is a perfect
10:10
Speaker 6: player for this league, in a league that demands you
10:13
Speaker 6: to take on your defender. And I was looking at
10:16
Speaker 6: some stats on Maxi over the course of about a
10:19
Speaker 6: ten year period. His take on numbers are among some
10:23
Speaker 6: of the best in the world, not just Europe but
10:25
Speaker 6: the world. Like he's up there with with Messi and
10:28
Speaker 6: Neymar and keeping that kind of company in terms of
10:31
Speaker 6: how well he is at making his man miss. And
10:34
Speaker 6: I thought something he said to Mike Salarte and our
10:37
Speaker 6: conversation with him struck me very poignant, because Mike asked
10:40
Speaker 6: him about, you know, Zaha being the most volid player
10:42
Speaker 6: in MLS and all that, and I'll paraphrasing here, but
10:46
Speaker 6: basically Max, He's like, look, if I have three people behind,
10:48
Speaker 6: three people around me, I know to pass the ball,
10:50
Speaker 6: and you know what, if I have to do that
10:51
Speaker 6: to make our team win, I'm okay with that. My
10:54
Speaker 6: job is not to get fouled. My job is to
10:56
Speaker 6: either get the ball out on my feet or many
10:57
Speaker 6: people miss. I'm not about trying to get foulded. I'm
10:59
Speaker 6: not trying to not trying to have stuff with the referees.
11:02
Speaker 6: He's going to be a lot more I think engaging
11:05
Speaker 6: player with the fan base. I think fans will like
11:07
Speaker 6: him a lot more. He's got a utch of different
11:08
Speaker 6: temperament and I think also too He's a very team
11:11
Speaker 6: first guy. And the thing that he said that struck
11:14
Speaker 6: me the most is he wants to be a club legend,
11:16
Speaker 6: like he wants to be here for a very very
11:17
Speaker 6: long time. As far as what else comes, I think
11:21
Speaker 6: part of the reason you're seeing these conversations surrounding Carown
11:24
Speaker 6: Vargas is that the club does want to add, but
11:27
Speaker 6: the roster's full right now. You're going to have to
11:29
Speaker 6: subtract in order to add. So I think, you know,
11:31
Speaker 6: maybe a jettising of somebody like Carolyn Vargas or the
11:35
Speaker 6: Alamata might happen over the course of this window here
11:39
Speaker 6: in order for them to be able to add in
11:40
Speaker 6: some other guys here, people maybe who have been in
11:43
Speaker 6: the World Cup, or people who have come over to
11:44
Speaker 6: the Americas and said, hey, you know what, this is
11:46
Speaker 6: actually a fun type of life. And I sear people
11:49
Speaker 6: maybe who have been in the World Cup or people
11:51
Speaker 6: who have come over to the Americas and said, hey,
11:53
Speaker 6: you know what, this is actually a fun type of life.
11:55
Speaker 6: And he's gotten a lot of engagement from people, including
11:58
Speaker 6: something he told us the other day where he said
12:01
Speaker 6: he had somebody who had been a staunchn on coming
12:04
Speaker 6: to Charlotte coming to the Americas for a long, long
12:07
Speaker 6: period of time, and the World Cup changed his mind.
12:09
Speaker 6: So interesting saying that person's going to sign. But you're
12:13
Speaker 6: seeing a lot of the tide begin to turn when
12:16
Speaker 6: it comes to recruitment, and now you're starting to see
12:19
Speaker 6: in the news cycle more of these guys who played
12:21
Speaker 6: in the World Cup are starting to sign with MLS teams,
12:24
Speaker 6: and Charlotte's hoping to be able to get in on
12:26
Speaker 6: that scheme here within the next couple of days. I
12:28
Speaker 6: remember the window literally just opened on Monday, so you
12:31
Speaker 6: have plenty of time to try and go and get
12:33
Speaker 6: somebody here to help you for the stretch run, which
12:35
Speaker 6: is a lot longer than it has been in previous years.
12:38
Speaker 6: That used to be you get a player in the
12:40
Speaker 6: secondary transfer window, they might only get, you know, seven
12:43
Speaker 6: or eight games in. We got nineteen games less than
12:45
Speaker 6: this season, guys, so there's plenty of time for somebody
12:47
Speaker 6: to make an impact. Not to mention the fact we
12:49
Speaker 6: have the sprint season and in a full twenty seven
12:51
Speaker 6: to twenty eight season coming as well. We've got a
12:53
Speaker 6: lot of games over the court of the next year
12:55
Speaker 6: and a half for guys to have to make an impact.
12:57
Speaker 5: One trip the BUCkies back in now, Holland wants to
12:58
Speaker 5: stay here in America.
13:02
Speaker 1: His drunk squirrel has Holland waded on BUCkies. I could
13:05
Speaker 1: be convinced by that man. Who do you like it?
13:07
Speaker 6: Tell?
13:07
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I was gonna ask me who you like today?
13:09
Speaker 1: I was gonna get in because Bone and I am sorry. Bone.
13:12
Speaker 1: Now you know how well you already know how missus
13:14
Speaker 1: mac Fie you start talking. I talked for the both
13:16
Speaker 1: of us at home too. Anyway, I'm sorry, Bone, but no,
13:21
Speaker 1: it's it's all it gets asked. So Bone and I
13:23
Speaker 1: Willie are all about England. I want England to I
13:27
Speaker 1: wanted to come home. I want them to win it all.
13:29
Speaker 1: I want their suffering end. Are you with us on that?
13:33
Speaker 6: I want them to beat Argentina?
13:35
Speaker 1: Okay, we got that.
13:36
Speaker 6: That's that's that's where, That's where I'll meet you. I
13:38
Speaker 6: want them to be Argenta because I don't want to
13:39
Speaker 6: see MESSI win. Get him out of there after that?
13:43
Speaker 6: Uh Viva Espana?
13:48
Speaker 1: Do you think? Do you think England will win? They
13:50
Speaker 1: got to beat Argentina and the referees and v a
13:53
Speaker 1: R all together.
13:54
Speaker 5: They're they're the favorite right now on DraftKings to beat Argentina.
13:58
Speaker 6: I will say of the four semi finalist, Argentina has
14:01
Speaker 6: played the worst. They've looked a little bit of a
14:03
Speaker 6: charm life see the Egypt contest and the quarterfinal as
14:07
Speaker 6: well against Switzerland. But I think England is probably a
14:11
Speaker 6: better all around team, but Argentina's got I think, higher
14:15
Speaker 6: in quality on their side. So I think it comes
14:17
Speaker 6: down to whether you value the team aspect or the
14:20
Speaker 6: high quality aspect. I still would put favor Argentina in
14:23
Speaker 6: this match, but I wouldn't be shocked if England won.
14:26
Speaker 6: But I think the first semi final I think was
14:29
Speaker 6: the adjunct final, if you will, I think I think
14:32
Speaker 6: whoever won the France, whoever won the France Spain game,
14:35
Speaker 6: I thought was winning it all and in Spain made
14:37
Speaker 6: France look pedestrian.
14:39
Speaker 5: To say the least, Argentina is the third choice on
14:41
Speaker 5: the three way line England and then draw then Argentina
14:44
Speaker 5: and that's very very close.
14:45
Speaker 1: So peace fault. They do not look impressive. I know
14:48
Speaker 1: that all the Fox guys have been raving about, Oh
14:50
Speaker 1: they do what they have to do. They get you
14:52
Speaker 1: know what I mean. But it's like you can see it.
14:54
Speaker 1: They are lucky.
14:56
Speaker 6: They've done what they've had to do against the worst
15:00
Speaker 6: road that any team has ever had to go through
15:03
Speaker 6: to get to the last four. They have not played
15:06
Speaker 6: a top ten ranked team, a top fifteen ranked team
15:09
Speaker 6: in a tournament at all.
15:11
Speaker 1: That's true. But they know they can't beat Egypt and Switzerland.
15:15
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I think Gingo's gonna beat those boys.
15:17
Speaker 6: That's if the United States had that road, they might
15:20
Speaker 6: still be playing.
15:22
Speaker 1: Now we're talking, baby, now we're sucking. Damn.
15:24
Speaker 6: It's a shame we didn't and would and that would
15:26
Speaker 6: have needed they would have needed slow Baligan's red car precended.
15:29
Speaker 1: There you go by the way. We've got to let
15:32
Speaker 1: We got to let you. I don't or am I
15:33
Speaker 1: did I just win the swine Award? Who's your uncultured swine?
15:36
Speaker 7: No?
15:36
Speaker 6: Man, the pro emotion and relegation zealots on my timeline,
15:40
Speaker 6: I did. I did a bad thing and I engaged
15:43
Speaker 6: one of these, one of these boobs who thinks that
15:46
Speaker 6: promotion and relegation is is going to save American soccer.
15:50
Speaker 6: Nah man, Nah, that's not what's keeping MLS from going forward.
15:53
Speaker 6: But keeping MLS and going forward is lighter spending rules
15:56
Speaker 6: and loosening the purse strings on these owners who want
15:59
Speaker 6: us and are being held behind by the people who
16:02
Speaker 6: are frugal and not wanting to do anything other than
16:05
Speaker 6: turn of profit. If you open up the spending rules,
16:08
Speaker 6: then you get more players here. And it's nothing to do
16:10
Speaker 6: with the motion relegation. These people who have motion relegation
16:13
Speaker 6: must hate watching the World Cup because none of the
16:16
Speaker 6: teams can get relegated because of this tournament. So they
16:18
Speaker 6: must think that this is not quality soccer because they
16:20
Speaker 6: think the promotion relegation is going to cure cancer. These
16:23
Speaker 6: people are awful. I hate these people. Do not like them.
16:26
Speaker 6: There's zealous. They're awful. They're terrible voices for our game. Awful, horuble,
16:30
Speaker 6: no good, very bad.
16:31
Speaker 5: All right, there you have it, all right there, you
16:33
Speaker 5: have it for your time today. We're going to send
16:34
Speaker 5: you some free Taco Bell, so we'll be on the

Speaker 5: looking all the letters from Taco Bell. We just got
16:39
Speaker 5: a hold up for you.
16:41
Speaker 6: No explosive diarrhea for me, please.
16:44
Speaker 1: That's a drop right there, all right, p man. Next
16:46
Speaker 1: week it'll be game day when you join us, we
16:49

18:07
Speaker 8: and really aligns with everything that we were about here

18:23
Speaker 1: Dabo Dabo swinging a bunch of Clemson uh pressers yesterday,
18:29
Speaker 1: uh as they get ready to head off for a
18:31
Speaker 1: CC met days. I think their day, their day is tomorrow.
18:37
Speaker 1: He's got a sound effect bonanza over there to greet Dabbo.
18:41
Speaker 1: But yeah, they'll be here tomorrow, Dabbo and company. Today,
18:45
Speaker 1: the notable ones are n C State, right, the local
18:48
Speaker 1: interest there and Miami the big dogs, the favorites to
18:52
Speaker 1: win it all, among other teams. Anybody else interesting today? Bone,
18:57
Speaker 1: I'm trying to or vels there today. Right, Yeah, he's gonna,
19:00
Speaker 1: he's gonna he's on the uh. He will be sitting
19:03
Speaker 1: on a hot seat while talking today.
19:05
Speaker 5: He will be man booty cheeks melting away during because
19:09
Speaker 5: you know, his quotes are gonna be about is spinning
19:13
Speaker 5: it in some way and everyone's gonna say it just
19:16
Speaker 5: sounds like a guy that's probably you know what I mean.
19:18
Speaker 5: It's gonna be a lot of his quotes are gonna
19:20
Speaker 5: be dissected today.
19:22
Speaker 1: He might have to. He might do a little Dabbo
19:24
Speaker 1: defiance today. He could, you know what I mean, Like, Hey,
19:27
Speaker 1: I don't care about that outside noise. We you know,
19:29
Speaker 1: you'll see that sort of thing, and I'm sure Dabbo
19:31
Speaker 1: will do plenty of that tomorrow.
19:33
Speaker 5: Western told us yesterday how massive is that game against
19:36
Speaker 5: SMU to start the season for FSU. I mean, it's
19:39
Speaker 5: a it's a program defining moment of the direction they're
19:45
Speaker 5: headed in. I think if they can win that game,
19:47
Speaker 5: maybe they can say face a little bit for Norvell.
19:49
Speaker 5: But if they don't show up, it's already it's already
19:52
Speaker 5: dire straights for him down there.
19:53
Speaker 1: And if I was an FSU fan, I wouldn't want
19:55
Speaker 1: to open with them. You could argue bone that other
19:58
Speaker 1: than playing Miami, that's the worst draw you could have.
20:01
Speaker 1: Kevin Jennings coming back for another year, Rhett Lashley as
20:05
Speaker 1: a hell of a coach, So that ain't easy for
20:08
Speaker 1: for FSU man. But Eddie Wack that that is true.
20:12
Speaker 1: They do get the blavor Labor Day in Tallahassee. They
20:15
Speaker 1: do get that benefit. Hell the acc gets going week zero.
20:18
Speaker 1: We got that tar Heel and wolf packed back to
20:21
Speaker 1: back tar Heels in doublingas CCU wolf Pack it at Charlottesville,
20:26
Speaker 1: by the way, beat Virginia last year. A Virginia team
20:28
Speaker 1: that I think is better than this one's gonna be.
20:30
Speaker 5: So, I don't know, man, interesting interesting start to the
20:34
Speaker 5: schedule MAC for SMU because I know they're going to
20:36
Speaker 5: be part of this. Here a little bit discussion here.
20:39
Speaker 5: It's at FSU Labor Day night. They play out Wouisville
20:42
Speaker 5: week three. So interesting start there for the schedule for
20:46
Speaker 5: a team with a lot of hype. That's mean by
20:48
Speaker 5: the way, UH and Lois all game comes up pretty
20:50
Speaker 5: quick in the season for them.
20:51
Speaker 1: A couple miles away in Uptown Charlotte. Jim Phillips right
20:53
Speaker 1: now at the podium speaking, We'll see if we can.
20:56
Speaker 1: I don't know. We should at least be able to
20:59
Speaker 1: discuss for get out of here, maybe a couple of
21:01
Speaker 1: the headlines bone that he has talked about and then
21:03
Speaker 1: tomorrow and the rest.
21:04
Speaker 4: Is already bragging about the non conference schedule in the revenue,
21:09
Speaker 4: saying that championships team should play championship schedules.
21:13
Speaker 1: It's championship team, not championship team. In the ACC there Jimbo, Oh, Jimbo,
21:20
Speaker 1: baby lay it on thick, Jimbo. You know Sankie will
21:22
Speaker 1: next week and TV was up six percent last year.
21:24
Speaker 1: Viewership did increase last year about six percent.
21:27
Speaker 5: There you go, you got supporting the twenty fourteen playoff today. Also, okay,
21:31
Speaker 5: we figured.
21:32
Speaker 1: That would be the case, but that he to hear
21:34
Speaker 1: it in his words in this setting is notable too,
21:37
Speaker 1: no doubt about it.
21:38
Speaker 4: Is he doing that in defensive Notre Dame though, that's
21:40
Speaker 4: the that's the major question here, because the last time
21:43
Speaker 4: that he defended or said he was in favor of it,
21:47
Speaker 4: it was more so to get Notre Dame into the
21:49
Speaker 4: playoff as opposed to teams from his own league.
21:51
Speaker 1: Hopefully cleaned that up. I think it's to get anybody
21:54
Speaker 1: in other than Miami. I think he figures we might
21:56
Speaker 1: need twenty anyway. How could honestly, how could he not
22:00
Speaker 1: be in favor of that. He's got to be one
22:03
Speaker 1: commissioner that would say, definitely, yeah, as much as I
22:06
Speaker 1: think it's not in the best interest of the sports
22:08
Speaker 1: for him, it is for the eight You completely understand
22:10
Speaker 1: it from an acc standpoint, no doubt about it.
22:13
Speaker 5: Get more teams in there. I also have a new
22:16
Speaker 5: tie breaker in place for the championship game.
22:18
Speaker 6: That's what I was.
22:18
Speaker 5: So they did announce that even changed that back tested
22:22
Speaker 5: with thousands of simulations. The new tie breaker. They will
22:26
Speaker 5: announce it at some point. They focus on head to
22:29
Speaker 5: head results, not punishing teams with eight to nine conference
22:32
Speaker 5: games eight nine conference games and fighting the strongest overall
22:36
Speaker 5: body of work nine conference games, eight and nine conference
22:39
Speaker 5: games and fighting the strongest overall body of work.
22:42
Speaker 1: I just don't understand how you can't make it real simple.
22:44
Speaker 1: The tiebreaker is the teams with the highest playoff ranking.
22:51
Speaker 1: All right, anyway, let's talk about the I want to
22:54
Speaker 1: have a conversation here, and this isn't about this year, bo, right,
22:57
Speaker 1: and you know we're gonna keep talking about this year
23:00
Speaker 1: big time this week and to the season, But this
23:04
Speaker 1: is kind of projecting a few years down the road.
23:06
Speaker 1: Let's say three four years down the road. Is Miami
23:10
Speaker 1: still going to be the lone dog in their own tier?
23:15
Speaker 1: Or is there some program you look at and we
23:18
Speaker 1: just heard from Dabbo. Maybe some of you will stump
23:20
Speaker 1: for Clemson being the Clemson mentioned, LSU, Louisville and brom
23:25
Speaker 1: are always hanging around. But is there a team bone
23:29
Speaker 1: that you truly believe that Let's give it. Let's give
23:34
Speaker 1: it three four years and they will join Miami. They
23:37
Speaker 1: will be national players every year because that's what they need. Man,
23:41
Speaker 1: they need. Miami's great and that was huge for the
23:44
Speaker 1: conference last year to make the run they did. But
23:46
Speaker 1: at some point here, if not this year, can somebody
23:49
Speaker 1: get some momentum to where maybe it's two perennial top
23:53
Speaker 1: ten type teams. What are you thinking about this? Bone?
23:57
Speaker 5: Yes, I think there's one option here, but I'm afraid
24:01
Speaker 5: to say. I'm afraid to say it because I've got
24:05
Speaker 5: Clown Junior and Clown Senior over here.
24:07
Speaker 1: He's laughing out.
24:09
Speaker 5: I think that James Franklin can get Virginia Tech back.
24:14
Speaker 5: Maybe here we go white Miami, but to uh playoff
24:19
Speaker 5: level every year because Mack think about it, and you
24:21
Speaker 5: know it's better anybody. On a serious note, the problem
24:23
Speaker 5: with James Franklin at Penn State was they struggled against
24:28
Speaker 5: the big dogs, right it was Ohio State, it was Michigan. Well,
24:31
Speaker 5: in this conference right now there's Miami. Can't James Franklin
24:35
Speaker 5: clean up a lot against those other teams that are
24:37
Speaker 5: similar to the Big ten teams that he beat up
24:39
Speaker 5: on for a long period of time. So I think
24:41
Speaker 5: this is set up perfectly for James Franklin to get
24:43
Speaker 5: Virginia Tech back into that that tier right maybe below.
24:48
Speaker 1: Miami kind of in the right there.
24:49
Speaker 5: They Yeah, I think not be yet, but he's gonna
24:52
Speaker 5: he's gonna rack up a ton of wins in this conference.
24:54
Speaker 1: What's the graphic they put on the screen when James
24:56
Speaker 1: Franklin was in Penn State were playing against five teams
25:00
Speaker 1: against top ten teams. Not gonna be many of those.
25:03
Speaker 1: To your point in the ACC. And I'm not hating
25:06
Speaker 1: on the ACC. I want this league to prosper. I
25:08
Speaker 1: want this league to survive. But there is a chance.
25:12
Speaker 1: As much as we keep calling you hokey Bone because
25:15
Speaker 1: you do bring them up a lot, I honestly think
25:18
Speaker 1: this is the answer. And I don't know if Clemson
25:20
Speaker 1: fans are gonna get mad because I'm not saying them
25:22
Speaker 1: and we can talk about them in a second. And
25:24
Speaker 1: by the way, wouldn't it be awesome, Bone if multiple
25:27
Speaker 1: programs could do this Florida State. I'm not sure it's
25:31
Speaker 1: gonna be with Norvel, but who's the higher if Norvel
25:34
Speaker 1: gets fired? But Virginia Tech was the first thing. We're
25:37
Speaker 1: giving you a hard time, but it was the first
25:39
Speaker 1: thing I thought of. And will we've on SMU. I mean,
25:41
Speaker 1: their coaches are good and they're not. I don't think
25:44
Speaker 1: they're They're not blips on the radar. I think they're
25:46
Speaker 1: gonna be. I mean, are they hanging out, you know,
25:49
Speaker 1: not Miami territory or are they more into the If
25:52
Speaker 1: there's twenty four teams in the playoffs, I think those
25:55
Speaker 1: two would be in there quite often. Yeah. But if
25:56
Speaker 1: I told you you're betting a paycheck on what program
25:59
Speaker 1: will be the closest to Miami's peer, it.
26:02
Speaker 5: Would be Virginia tied. I don't trust Florida State. I
26:05
Speaker 5: bet I'm betting Virginia Tech.
26:06
Speaker 1: And it has to be look at it.
26:08
Speaker 4: Look at all the financial investments since Sant Franklin, Like.
26:11
Speaker 1: It's huge. You're talking about almost three hundred million dollars.
26:14
Speaker 1: That is huge.
26:15
Speaker 4: Has comed footballs, not not the whole department, just to football,
26:20
Speaker 4: to facilities and everything.
26:22
Speaker 1: Between that and James Franklin's recruiting, and by the way,
26:24
Speaker 1: they go hand in hand. And Virginia is a talent
26:26
Speaker 1: rich state man. Yeah, oh he and he killed it
26:29
Speaker 1: in the DMV killed it in the DMV at Penn State.
26:32
Speaker 1: And that's a huge recruiting area for Virginia Tech. I
26:34
Speaker 1: just I think it's a no brainer. I know people
26:37
Speaker 1: are saying, bones obsessed with Virginia Tech. I have a
26:41
Speaker 1: huge deal for the conference that frank, because they need
26:44
Speaker 1: so much. How many times we sat here and said,
26:47
Speaker 1: the ACC needs those teams they brought in two decades ago, Miami,
26:52
Speaker 1: Virginia Tech, Florida State to all be good at once.
26:55
Speaker 1: They've had their moments, they've had their pockets. Well, can
26:57
Speaker 1: they get Miami, Virginia Tech good at once again? That'd
27:01
Speaker 1: be huge, And God forbid Florida Saint joins them all
27:03
Speaker 1: of a sudden. This is exactly what they needed. Oh
27:06
Speaker 1: it's just yeah.
27:06
Speaker 5: I bring them up because it matters. I don't bring
27:09
Speaker 5: up stuff for my own sake here. I bring up
27:11
Speaker 5: stuff that matters. Whoa WHOA print the T shirts for
27:14
Speaker 5: that one man. I do want to say this, Uh yeah,
27:18
Speaker 5: he's a great recruiter. And listen, there may be a
27:20
Speaker 5: he may not beat Miami, he may go oh for
27:22
Speaker 5: crystal Ball, you know what I mean, But he will
27:25
Speaker 5: have them in the mix.
27:26
Speaker 1: And that's what they need. Play extra playoff teams if
27:29
Speaker 1: they stay at twelve. Somebody that you know is going
27:32
Speaker 1: to be there every year now as far as other teams,
27:35
Speaker 1: So you would you go SUL, would you go LSU?
27:39
Speaker 1: With the helm I told about? Would you go with
27:43
Speaker 1: Louisville SMU or Clemson as the next most likely to
27:49
Speaker 1: be a national player or are they all on the
27:52
Speaker 1: same tier and it just depends on the year.
27:54
Speaker 5: I would I think Clemson is now in that tier,
27:58
Speaker 5: and I'll be fair, I'll say based off of history
28:02
Speaker 5: and may vary, but I would say Clemson Louisville SMU
28:09
Speaker 5: if I had to rank them, although SMU's got a
28:11
Speaker 5: lot of money, though tons, and they're gonna go. They're
28:13
Speaker 5: gonna go portal. They're gonna always get their quarterback that
28:16
Speaker 5: they wanted the portal. So I would say I would
28:20
Speaker 5: say Clemson Louisville SMU. But it's it's all gonna be.
28:23
Speaker 5: They're all gonna be I think jammed up there. They're
28:25
Speaker 5: gonna be jammed up like you just ate a big
28:27
Speaker 5: old taco bell dinner.
28:31
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's jam I think you'd be
28:33
Speaker 1: leaking like a foss. That's a good point only to
28:36
Speaker 1: lettuce though all the other stuff at taco that's what
28:39
Speaker 1: the amazing thing about this parasite is you just don't
28:42
Speaker 1: eat the healthy produce now and you're good. That's that
28:46
Speaker 1: is That is fitty and ice type of parasite.
28:49
Speaker 6: Man.
28:49
Speaker 1: How do you view going forward? Mac?
28:52
Speaker 5: How do you view Virginia Tech and Clemson? Do you
28:57
Speaker 5: think Virginia Tech is now going to surpass him?
29:00
Speaker 1: Under? Like I big cat Dan saying flying under the radar?
29:04
Speaker 1: I love it seven O four number tiger Alum. Just
29:08
Speaker 1: keep talking that talk about James choke job, Franklin, Dabo
29:13
Speaker 1: will be back. Here's the thing, though, will Dabo be back?
29:16
Speaker 1: Because when you say Dabo's back, it's like the old
29:19
Speaker 1: Miami is back talk Like Miami is back means they're
29:22
Speaker 1: winning national titles. Quite frankly, like that's how good they were,
29:26
Speaker 1: Dabo being getting Clemson back. They were literally the peer
29:32
Speaker 1: of Nick Sabans Alabama six straight playoff appearances. It was
29:36
Speaker 1: literally one in one A who thinks they're ever gonna
29:40
Speaker 1: be back to that? I just like, I don't. I
29:43
Speaker 1: hate it because you I love when Clemson's good. I
29:46
Speaker 1: love you know, hyping up that fan base. I love
29:49
Speaker 1: it when Dabo's good and gets feeling good and he's
29:52
Speaker 1: fun and stuff like that. I just don't think he's
29:54
Speaker 1: a match for the modern game. I'm not now, I'm
29:56
Speaker 1: not saying he's gonna do terribly. Somebody said something about
29:59
Speaker 1: Dabbo won't last two years. I ain't betting on that.
30:02
Speaker 4: I think that's on the table though, like Mack, if
30:04
Speaker 4: they disappoint again this year, which for that program in
30:07
Speaker 4: their standards, you could view eight and four as a disappointment,
30:10
Speaker 4: like if they fall flat on their face.
30:13
Speaker 1: I think that.
30:14
Speaker 4: I do think that him and that program run a crossroads,
30:18
Speaker 4: like I do. I have them going ten and two.
30:21
Speaker 4: That's what I have them doo.
30:24
Speaker 1: I would definitely say nine or less, but if they
30:27
Speaker 1: go eight four, it's like a good number. But like
30:30
Speaker 1: that shouldn't be. You think they're gonna run Dabbo out
30:33
Speaker 1: of there, man, I think he's gonna I think it'd
30:34
Speaker 1: be more Dabo leaves. I think he's gonna go to
30:36
Speaker 1: TV soon that that or the ministry, So you do
30:40
Speaker 1: think he'll be y'all think he'll be going soon. I
30:42
Speaker 1: don't think they're ever gonna fire Dabo, but I think
30:44
Speaker 1: eventually he's gonna do the whether it's the Jay Wright move,
30:47
Speaker 1: He's gonna he's not gonna love the Kyle. He's gonna
30:50
Speaker 1: eventually figure out that he can go do TV, make millions.
30:54
Speaker 1: He'll be on Game Day and I think that he's
30:56
Speaker 1: not gonna get fired. That'd be crazy to do. By
30:59
Speaker 1: the way, Bigfoot Lee macas two takes here. I just
31:02
Speaker 1: noticed he's upset with you for going after BUCkies. He
31:05
Speaker 1: was there. He stopped in twice a couple of weeks
31:07
Speaker 1: ago on his on his trip.
31:09
Speaker 5: Gasp, Briske at Bakery dog Park takes forever is nuts,
31:13
Speaker 5: but he's really enjoying the Virginia Tech segment. Hey, that's good.
31:17
Speaker 5: Wait to hear the six o'clock segment. Q Man k
31:20
Speaker 5: b Q the Boone and I are with in the
31:22
Speaker 5: back truck going to Blacksburg in the six o'clock hour.
31:25
Speaker 1: What could go wrong? KB?
31:26
Speaker 5: All of us team it up. I will say, we
31:29
Speaker 5: do this a couple of years ago and they failed miserably.
31:31
Speaker 5: We went to the schedule. We thought they're gonna have
31:33
Speaker 5: a great year. Yeah, we might have hyped Bailey.
31:36
Speaker 1: Yeah that's great. This could end badly for us. This
31:38
Speaker 1: kid is KB could run us down with his trunk
31:41
Speaker 1: donor James Frank It definitely. Does I agree Hokey, I
31:44
Speaker 1: will say this. You talk about Dabbo leaving. Here's the
31:46
Speaker 1: problem with s m U and Louisville. This htt Lashley
31:50
Speaker 1: gonna stay there? And is Jeff Brom gonna stay there? Definitely,
31:53
Speaker 1: they've got to keep those coaches. Well, Brom's at is
31:55
Speaker 1: all my motor, and they keep those coaches around, and
32:00
Speaker 1: and I do expect them to be upper echelon. I
32:02
Speaker 1: don't know if they can be the perennial top ten. Yeah,
32:05
Speaker 1: but that's upper echelon. But they are definitely coaches that
32:09
Speaker 1: will you know Garner something, Oh, that's a good one.
32:11
Speaker 5: On lastly, because what if what if Sark fails at
32:14
Speaker 5: Texas and something happens there and he's in there, he's
32:17
Speaker 5: in Dallas like that's yeah, broms at is alma mater.
32:21
Speaker 5: But lastly, I've almost at some point, yeah, that could
32:25
Speaker 5: be yeah, exacting.
32:26
Speaker 4: We know Smumac, we know they're spending that shadda.
32:29
Speaker 1: They got it, they got chedda, they got all the
32:31
Speaker 1: chada baby and they got all the child. Do we
32:33
Speaker 1: sound cool when we say that?
32:34
Speaker 6: Or no?
32:35
Speaker 1: Not really? I want to make this point too. I
32:38
Speaker 1: hate to do this because at the accas in town,
32:40
Speaker 1: and I want this thing to grow and prosper as
32:44
Speaker 1: a football conference. But the year twenty thirty looms very large.
32:48
Speaker 1: They could really use some momentum by then, because twenty thirty,
32:53
Speaker 1: Bone is when that price to get out of the
32:54
Speaker 1: conference drops tremendously to about seventy million. I just I
32:59
Speaker 1: have a bad feeling we're not going to recognize the
33:02
Speaker 1: ACC after that, So it would behoove them Bone to
33:06
Speaker 1: get some programs going here to increase revenue. I'm still
33:11
Speaker 1: not I'm sure not sure, y'all it matters because there
33:14
Speaker 1: will still be a huge revenue difference. But that that,
33:18
Speaker 1: just that twenty thirty is scary, man, fitty, do you
33:21
Speaker 1: want to flash us real quick? Always? Always so we
33:26
Speaker 1: were afraid of to be a little a little hometown
33:30
Speaker 1: or a big old city. Might as well shared, might
33:33
Speaker 1: as well smile, lose home little wow.
33:39
Speaker 4: All right, guys, this update is brought to you by
33:41
Speaker 4: H and S Roofing in Gutter Company. If something doesn't
33:44
Speaker 4: look right with your roof for your gutters, don't wait
33:46
Speaker 4: for a small problem to become a big one. Called
33:49
Speaker 4: h and S Roofing and Gutter Company Today, Ray for
33:51
Speaker 4: estimates seven zero four three three four nine nine three
33:55
Speaker 4: four that seven zero four three three four nine nine
33:58
Speaker 4: three four seven zero four three three four nine to
34:02
Speaker 4: nine three four. I saw a clip of Buster Only
34:04
Speaker 4: talking about the attendance fading at the MLB All Star Game,
34:09
Speaker 4: and now Baseball was having to maybe embrace the issue
34:12
Speaker 4: with their All Star All Star event like we've seen
34:14
Speaker 4: with baseball, basketball and others. Bone the American League won
34:19
Speaker 4: the game for nothing last night. Ten different pitchers helped
34:23
Speaker 4: combine for fifteen strikeouts. It was like me at the
34:26
Speaker 4: borrow on a Friday last night in Philadelphia.
34:28
Speaker 5: Not exactly a great showcase for the game for the
34:33
Speaker 5: pitchers it was, But I think in the All Star
34:35
Speaker 5: Game you want to see some fireworks, some more home
34:39
Speaker 5: runs than we saw. There was only one run past
34:42
Speaker 5: the first inning. There was twenty seven strikeouts. If I
34:45
Speaker 5: want to watch baseball like that, bag, I'll wait till
34:47
Speaker 5: Thursday when the regular season comes back. Not exactly a
34:49
Speaker 5: good signe back for the amount of strikeouts in this
34:51
Speaker 5: league when they can't even hit in.
34:53
Speaker 1: The All Star Game. Hey, you did have a top
34:55
Speaker 1: vote getter, Ernie Clement, make a hell of a play
34:58
Speaker 1: at second base. The hell did that, dude? Clement family
35:02
Speaker 1: voting early and often up the Toronto's known to stuff
35:05
Speaker 1: the ballot boxes. That's how they get so many guys
35:07
Speaker 1: in there. But you're right, Mac, I would have been
35:10
Speaker 1: surprised if Ernie Clement made the All Star roster. And
35:13
Speaker 1: never mind the top bode geer. I know he's a
35:14
Speaker 1: good hitter.
35:15
Speaker 5: The team, the World Baseball Classic USA team helped them
35:19
Speaker 5: out a little bit, but that was Yeah.
35:22
Speaker 1: I did not have Ernie c be in the top
35:24
Speaker 1: Loo game. And listen, does Justin Verlander need to be there?
35:27
Speaker 1: I know he got a Commissioner's Legend spot. He's retiring.
35:30
Speaker 1: The dude has pitched one game this year and has
35:32
Speaker 1: an ERA of over twelve. They needs to be it's
35:35
Speaker 1: just because he's retiring. But but that's not what the
35:38
Speaker 1: All Star Game was designed for, designed for the best
35:39
Speaker 1: players of that year. He's one of the best pitchers
35:42
Speaker 1: of his generation. They do they do stuff like I
35:44
Speaker 1: didn't Cal Ripley get a spot once for a Legends pick.
35:47
Speaker 1: I'll get out of here with cal Ripkin slander, sir,
35:49
Speaker 1: get out, No, no, no, no, it's not slander. And
35:52
Speaker 1: the baseball will put guys on teams. When the mcguil
35:55
Speaker 1: cabrera did one. Recently, they put guys on teams. I
35:58
Speaker 1: don't like it. I don't like it.
36:00
Speaker 5: I think Bryce Harper was also All Legends pick, wasn't
36:02
Speaker 5: he This year they put him in the game for Philly.
36:05
Speaker 5: I believe it's said Legends pick when he made the game?
36:09
Speaker 5: What exactly did that mean?
36:10
Speaker 1: You ain't comparing to Bryce Harper season of Justin Verlanders season.
36:13
Speaker 1: Though Justin Verlin had had a good when was the
36:15
Speaker 1: last goods?
36:16
Speaker 5: He's not on there. He's on there because he's retired.
36:19
Speaker 5: He's the best picture of his era or one of that.
36:21
Speaker 1: That's great. Celebrate him when he retires. I don't need
36:25
Speaker 1: him in the All Star Game. Although it was nice
36:27
Speaker 1: seeing Kate Upton on the red carpet yesterday, But anyway,
36:31
Speaker 1: I just I don't need old guys in the All
36:34
Speaker 1: Star Game. I don't need that.
36:35
Speaker 6: All right.
36:35
Speaker 1: I'm sorry I hurt you so much. It didn't hurt
36:38
Speaker 1: me by fact, but I didn't know you were defiantly
36:40
Speaker 1: going to stand up. No, I had no problem with
36:42
Speaker 1: sports celebrating their legends. There's a place to do that. Actually,
36:47
Speaker 1: All Star to celebrate the best of the current year.
36:50
Speaker 1: That's what you do in the All Star Game anyway,
36:52
Speaker 1: that week weeks for a while they put guys on
36:56
Speaker 1: these gates. But that's an extreme though, bone one outing
37:00
Speaker 1: twelve points something or hasn't been good literally in like
37:03
Speaker 1: six years. Like it's an extreme. But as the Great
37:07
Speaker 1: Jay Bill says, reasonable minds can differ. Yes, translation, I'm
37:12
Speaker 1: done with this. It's a sports radio.
37:36
Speaker 5: Rory.
37:36
Speaker 9: I think when people talk to an athlete about their legacy,
37:39
Speaker 9: they often frame it in a way of how are
37:41
Speaker 9: you going to enjoy it and appreciate it in your
37:43
Speaker 9: own lifetime, even as an old man. But I would
37:46
Speaker 9: be curious for you, how concerned are you with your
37:50
Speaker 9: legacy past when you'll be on this earth? How concerned
37:53
Speaker 9: are you with how you'll be viewed in one hundred years?
37:55
Speaker 9: Do you think about that kind of thing? Does it
37:57
Speaker 9: matter to you since you won't be here? I mean,
37:58
Speaker 9: what how does that go?
38:00
Speaker 7: No? I don't really care, you know, I would like
38:07
Speaker 7: to think that the people that love and care about
38:10
Speaker 7: me think a certain way of me. But yeah, I'll
38:14
Speaker 7: be I'll be long gone, I'll be dead.
38:17
Speaker 6: I don't.
38:19
Speaker 7: I don't think I'll be seeing what people say about me.
38:23
Speaker 7: I'll be six feet under. I don't think he'll be
38:26
Speaker 7: a ghost. I don't think he'll be you know, like
38:28
Speaker 7: I am. I Yeah, I don't care.
38:34
Speaker 5: Great question by Shane Ryan to Rory McElroy as the
38:38
Speaker 5: New York Butcher Shop cut of the day. Location is
38:41
Speaker 5: an Indian Land, Dilworth four mil Carrie, excuse me, Dilworth Granas,
38:48
Speaker 5: indian Land four mal bell money Carrie checking about on
38:50
Speaker 5: Instagram and why butcher wine Bar. It's well known that
38:54
Speaker 5: the only golfer that will be around in one hundred
38:56
Speaker 5: years is John Daly.
39:00
Speaker 4: Oh Man.
39:01
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, apparently unhealthy eating is now the healthy eating
39:04
Speaker 1: bone with the parasite out there life. But anyway, Yeah,
39:07
Speaker 1: Shane Ryan works for Golf Digest. You heard the question.
39:10
Speaker 1: It was so weird and Rory McElroy got his answer
39:14
Speaker 1: got weird at the end because how weird the question was.
39:17
Speaker 1: Shane Ryan got ripped so bad on social media he
39:19
Speaker 1: had to come out defending himself for it. I guess
39:22
Speaker 1: he asked it because of his Scottie Scheffler answer earlier
39:25
Speaker 1: in the day bone about not really caring about his legacy.
39:28
Speaker 1: He'll be gone, and that's not what he's worried about
39:30
Speaker 1: and that sort of thing. But it's just what do
39:33
Speaker 1: you how much do you care about what your legacy
39:36
Speaker 1: is when you're dead? I mean, why are we talking
39:39
Speaker 1: about his death?
39:40
Speaker 7: What is that?
39:40
Speaker 1: Do you know something? I'd old Shay Ryan, I don't
39:42
Speaker 1: know that Rory doesn't. Oh my god. Anyways, seemed pretty
39:45
Speaker 1: morbid for the moment. British Open tomorrow it's been unseasonbly warm.
39:48
Speaker 1: It's the Open Championship. British Open is tomorrow unseasably warm.
39:54
Speaker 1: That course is is fast and it is hard as heck,
39:57
Speaker 1: so anyway, could be a different sort of British Open tomorrow.
40:00
Speaker 1: Fitty and I have our annual fight tomorrow and Friday
40:03
Speaker 1: and Monday.
40:04
Speaker 4: I'm going with Weldon nashvillef You're gonna call it the
40:06
Speaker 4: British Open the next three days, all right?
40:08
Speaker 1: So what do we have going on though? Before tomorrow
40:10
Speaker 1: is British Open. We've got England against Argentina today three
40:16
Speaker 1: o'clock should be an amazing game and you've got the
40:20
Speaker 1: s P tonight for those of you that's care, the
40:24
Speaker 1: all star game of a war shows.
40:25
Speaker 5: Yes, for those of you that care, all right, let's
40:29
Speaker 5: get mag I think right now, I want to make
40:30
Speaker 5: you buy legends.
40:31
Speaker 1: Pick Man, you are my Legends pick for the show.
40:33
Speaker 1: Somebody said something about that on the text line. I said,
40:35
Speaker 1: Mack wouldn't be allowed on the air if they didn't
40:37
Speaker 1: have an old guy that's done something like that. Hey,
40:40
Speaker 1: that's gold.
40:40
Speaker 5: Clayton Kershaw got in last year from Manford and he
40:43
Speaker 5: didn't want it. He said it's a Senior Citizen discount award.
40:46
Speaker 1: Yeah it really is.
40:47
Speaker 5: But I yeah the Kershaw. I don't know why Bryce
40:50
Speaker 5: Harper got it this year as well. That's a they
40:52
Speaker 5: just wanted him in Philly. I guess he's having a
40:54
Speaker 5: good year. Was he not not enough to make you allsty?
40:56
Speaker 5: Was he not a I don't know A picked for
40:58
Speaker 5: the All Star Game.
40:58
Speaker 1: It's weird. It's weird, and I don't know. Maybe it's
41:01
Speaker 1: not worth screening. This dude said the things you picked?
41:03
Speaker 1: The scream at each other over are you are you?
41:06
Speaker 1: Are you new here?
41:06
Speaker 6: Sir?
41:07
Speaker 1: We will scream it important and extremely minute, unimportant details.
41:10
Speaker 1: Just what justin Burwainer have a moment anything good in
41:13
Speaker 1: his life? Maybe I'm just jealous.
41:15
Speaker 5: Name one or two things that are good about his
41:16
Speaker 5: life money fame Kate anyway, all right, they have both things.
41:22
Speaker 1: Let's see you, let's see here. So the ACC it
41:27
Speaker 1: is official. Bone. The ACC announced their new football Championship tiebreaker.
41:32
Speaker 1: Head to head results will always matter most. No team
41:34
Speaker 1: will be overly rewarded or penalized based on a number
41:37
Speaker 1: of conference games because they're the only goofy conference in
41:39
Speaker 1: the world where some teams play less games than the
41:42
Speaker 1: others because they have seventeen teams and everybody can't play nine.
41:45
Speaker 1: It's it's really silly. But here's the here's the important part.
41:48
Speaker 1: When head to head competition, competition cannot separate tied teams.
41:52
Speaker 1: The team with the strongest overall body work will earn
41:54
Speaker 1: the opportunity to compete for the a SEC Championship and
41:57
Speaker 1: the conferences all automatic qualifier to the college football Playoff.
42:02
Speaker 1: It is gonna come down, bony, and it should come
42:06
Speaker 1: down to I still haven't seen on here. Does it
42:09
Speaker 1: come down to where you're ranked in the playoff though,
42:11
Speaker 1: Because that's what that's It's that simple, man. Don't leave
42:15
Speaker 1: out a higher ranked team in the playoff and then
42:17
Speaker 1: sacrifice their chances at making a play. That's what they
42:19
Speaker 1: almost did with Miami last week night. Did something happened
42:21
Speaker 1: last year? They caused all this. I'm s curious they
42:25
Speaker 1: saw seven win Duke get in there, and they're like,
42:27
Speaker 1: we gotta do something change this show. All right? The
42:30
Speaker 1: rainy champs though bone All right, let me read some
42:32
Speaker 1: of these texts. Here Bebop is weighed in on BUCkies.
42:36
Speaker 1: Bebop says they have biscuits as big as Wes's fist
42:40
Speaker 1: Bailey's feet, Bebop, how do you know the size of Wes'
42:46
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna leave that there. How do you know
42:47
Speaker 1: how big Bailey's feed are?
42:49
Speaker 6: Also?
42:49
Speaker 1: That came down the line? All right, anyway, Bebop may
42:53
Speaker 1: need back the day off. A texter says, Mac, what's
42:58
Speaker 1: with calling people boom? It's like it's a bad thing.
43:01
Speaker 1: I love boots.
43:01
Speaker 6: There you go.
43:02
Speaker 1: That was me and Willie earlier. Uh let's see the
43:05
Speaker 1: Myron on the text line. I used that for him too,
43:09
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. Uh this, Uh, let's see BUCkies.
43:12
Speaker 1: You can see what it'll actuallyate with Myron lightly okay lately,
43:15
Speaker 1: but every day this texture says I have Uh, BUCkies
43:20
Speaker 1: gives you the chance to get out of your car
43:22
Speaker 1: for a minute and stretch. Brisket is fresh and amazing,
43:25
Speaker 1: and there's something for the whole family to eat. Bucky's Nation,
43:28
Speaker 1: including KB has risen up bony against my overrated claims.
43:34
Speaker 1: I just I think it is if you're in a
43:36
Speaker 1: if you're a nine to ten hour road trip, which
43:38
Speaker 1: we were, I just I don't want to do that again.
43:42
Speaker 1: It's just it's not a click stop.
43:44
Speaker 5: So if I'm on a nine hour a nine or
43:46
Speaker 5: ten hour road trip, do I want to stop for
43:49
Speaker 5: brisket when we're gonna have to stop again in an
43:51
Speaker 5: hour for me to relieve myself, A said brisket? Or
43:53
Speaker 5: would I'd rather have a snack and then when I
43:55
Speaker 5: get to my destination, then we sporge on the food, right.
43:58
Speaker 1: I don't stop for the.
44:00
Speaker 5: On the road thing, but I can go for a
44:01
Speaker 5: big old brisket sandwich. Let me get back on the road.
44:04
Speaker 1: No, that's not going to work out too well for
44:06
Speaker 1: brisket much healthier than let us these days, though, bone
44:08
Speaker 1: all right, it is this dude said he went to
44:11
Speaker 1: Bucky's extremely hungover and says it is not the place
44:14
Speaker 1: to be hungover. Stimulation overload. I can see that there
44:17
Speaker 1: is so much going on and so many freaking people there.
44:20
Speaker 1: They have amusement park rides there to someone make that up.
44:24
Speaker 1: I don't think I saw a musement park ride. Is
44:26
Speaker 1: that next? Is that what they're putting in next? Let's
44:29
Speaker 1: see what else we have on the tech text line. Oh,
44:32
Speaker 1: stat Picker has created a hokey bone photo where he
44:35
Speaker 1: is super imposed a turkey hat on top of you.
