Mac & Bone Hour 2: USMNT Embarrassed in World Cup Exit · Mac & Bone Podcast

• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Seven o'clockers a wake up. It is the Mac and
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Bone show here on a Tuesday. Fitty doing a great
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: job of holding it down while Mac is on a cruise.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: If he's still on it.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Based off the US performance last night, fit dog Mac
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: may have launched himself into the water. So we're hoping
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: that he's okay today because that game last night made
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: us all want to jump overboard. Last night US just
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: got I mean, I don't know if smoke rolled is
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: a thing or not. I just kind of go with that,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: but they got completely smoke rolled by Belgium last night
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: four to one, and honestly, from the open of the
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: game it was ugly. We were lucky to be down
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: two to one at halftime. Freeze made a couple of
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: stops early despite his bad night, but the pressure they
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: put on the US early that could have got up
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: that game could have been a lot worse last night.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: We capitalized on the free kick and Tillman put it
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: a beautiful shot there for the goal. We gave it
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: up right away. But in some ways that that was
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: a four to one game and it felt like it
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: was a lot worse than that last night.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's sometimes a scoreboard doesn't indicate how close the
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: game can be. In a in a blowout, sometimes you
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: know you could be a close score and the game
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: was never really that close the score may have shown.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: For one, it felt like six to one, like there
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: was just so many you.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: One at halftime felt like it was one of those
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: basketball games where you felt like you're down by seven,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: but you're really down by like eighteen.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just the way you feel mentally.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: Kind of like whenever, you know, Virginia against Tony Bennett,
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: where once they got the lead to six to eight,
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: that just kind of felt insurmountable. And I'm not gonna
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: say that's how the US looked or felt, because they
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: did come back and even things up, and I felt
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: like bone that once they tied the game, it felt
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: like that was the I thought that if they were
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: gonna do what they were, what they've done, that was
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: gonna be the point where, even if it would be
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: tied one one going into halftime, they were just gonna
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: finally take control of the match and they were gonna
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: and they were gonna be the more dominant side, and
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: that I mean a minute later, Belgium takes the lead,
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: and it never really felt like we got back into
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: the game. We go on to lose. We go on
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: to lose four to one to a team that, yes,
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: according to FIFA, ranked higher than us. From that perspective,
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: you expect Belgium to beat the United States, But a
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: lot of people in the international football community, if you will,
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: talked about how vulnerable they were and that this was
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: the right time for the US to capitalize on that.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: And unfortunately we weren't able to do that.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Last night we played Reina in at halftime, we we
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: tried to make some adjustments. But then when Captain America
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: goes out as early as he did, to me, that
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: was a sign of yeah, this is not this is
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: not It didn't feel right anyway, right, like this was
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: not our night. But when your best player goes out early,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: or supposed to be best player goes out early like
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: that your version of these other teams great players that
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: we see for us, that to me was the sign
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: of yeah, this is over. And it felt it felt
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: kind of over from the moment it started. Belgium came out,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: they were quicker to the ball, they possessed the ball better.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: It felt like we almost came out nervous in a
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: weird way, even though we're at home. The lights got
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: too bright, the pressure got to us. We succumbed to it. Belgium,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: whether it's their vet experience, I don't know what it was,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: they did not, but we just we could barely hold
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: out of the ball there for a while. It just
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: nothing was going our way last night.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and we were never able to do what we've
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: done to the pre teams, which is, you know, put
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: our press on and and really just be constant pressure
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: on the ball, you know, you know, getting getting deflections, tackles,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: all that stuff.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: It felt like we were just chasing.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: It felt like we were we were behind and we
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: were trying to catch up. Felt like we were slow
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: to react to certain things. It felt like they were
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: playing a different speed than us. You go back to
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: that first goal where dest I mean just just got
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: just got frozen, like just just stopped. Like it felt
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: like I feel like you were watching what was that
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Adam Sandler movie where was it Spanglis where he would
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: like fast forward and rewind I got the movie right.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: That's click, oh click. It felt like we were watching Click.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: That's the movie about the remote. That's the word click.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's that's old. You know what. Let me
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: get to end that.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's all right, clean that up there, get that
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: mop out there.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: It felt like that where like like Belgium was playing
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: at one speed in one pace and we were playing
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: at another. It was on the same field, but it
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: felt like it was two different games going on. And
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: and so that was that was equally frustrating.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: You know, the two to the There are.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Games where you know when they say like, uh, I
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: know it was uh one one than two one, But
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: there are games when you know you're down, but you're
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: putting pressure on the other team and the team with
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: the lead is almost in more trouble than the team chasing.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: It didn't feel like that last night. It didn't feel
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: like one of those games where Belgium was barely hanging on.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: It felt decisive and it was. And now the big
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: question comes what what are we as a soccer nation
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: or did we move forward? Are we stuck in mud?
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Are we in the same spot a Patchettino. You know
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: we want him back, but ultimately what are they in
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: against top twenty five teams?
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I wonder him three three three wins, nine losses, one draw. Yeah,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: So for as good as he's been and as much
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: as he has been acclimating himself to the US here
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: in this run, we're really it's it's a constant, you
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: know what we are. We're a soccer way mow that
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: doesn't know where it's going. We're driving in circles. We're
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: just driving in circles with no driver. Sometimes we always
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: end up back in the same spot. I just I
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: don't know if we're ever going to be more than
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: we are, and that is, Hey, we have these runs,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: we get hyped up, but are we ever going to
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: be a team and a soccer playing country that can
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: get past these rounds? I don't know at this point.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: If it's not now, when is it going to be.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: It felt like this was the perfect opportunity with their group,
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: with the draw that they had, with some of the
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: other results that were happening in the bracket, for them
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: to really make a significant run at this. Like they
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: opened the broadcast last night. I don't know if you
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: watched any of the two hour pregame show, but you
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: know they were showing the path to get to the final,
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: and because it was like bone not saying that it
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: wasn't realistic, but it was on the table like that
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: you could have convinced yourself to them had they gotten
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: to to Friday where they would have played in the quarters,
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: that could they got into a semis, could they've maybe
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: gotten all the way to the final and in two
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: weeks it ultimately wasn't meant to be.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: I do think maybe.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: Twenty four forty eight hours we can look back and
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: reflect on what all was was accomplished and understand that
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: this was a step forward. It's hard to do that
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: in the immediacy when you get beat, especially when you
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: when you get beat the way that sodly that you
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: got beaten because in a lot of people's opinion, this
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: team maximized their potential, and some people's opinion maybe that
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: that wasn't that wasn't the case. I can just tell
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: you as someone that has watched this is twenty ten
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: to fourteen, it's my fifth World Cup that I've I've
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: watched this one has felt the most different from a
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: US perspective than the previous times that I've watched them,
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: Like there was a bigger interest, there was a bigger
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: care factor, and there was a bigger belief that we
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: could actually compete on the world stage, and it felt like,
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: you know, that wasn't necessarily the case in twenty ten,
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: twenty fourteen when they also went out in the knockout
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: rounds in the round of sixteen.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and again, I've I'm forty two now, and my
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: whole life has been feels like discussions of these where
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: are we.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: What are we going to be?
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: And it just so four years now we wait four
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: years is this is this progress or is this going
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: to be a four years where we're set back, because
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: it always seems like whenever we think we're moving forward
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: with this, we get set back, and it's you know,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: you got you gotta tip your hat to Belgium. Also,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: they had not played as well as a top ten
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: team should during this tournament. They did last night, and
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: they played almost like they had sort of been forgotten
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: about during this whole thing, right, like all the talk
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: was about flow and you know in Trump and all
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: these stings in Belgium came out and said, oh, yeah,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: by the way, where we don't care if Baligan is
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: playing or not.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: We're winning this game.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: But it didn't matter if he played last night, not
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: really a factor because none of the players last night
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: were really big factors when your best player ESPN dot
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Com ranks the players at a scale of up to
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: ten fifty each game. Polistic got a two last night,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: and so did Matt Freeze out of ten. If your
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: keeper and your best player are playing two out of
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: ten level in these games, you're gonna get.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Your ass bet like that.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Like it's the keeper last night, Freeze, he misplays one.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: He has the one in the field, which was basically
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: the icing on the cake for Belgium, but he misplayed
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: the first. He was out of position on another one.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: He was awful last night, absolutely dreadful. And it wasn't
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: just the misplay. It was all night and he was
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: under fire early, but come on, he he he was bad.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: I saw Willie pet Sweet about this during during the
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: match last night. Like the biggest concerns around around the
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: US men's national team existed in the back line and
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: then and then their goalkeeping and not saying that they
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: were hiding those those those concerns, but you know at
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: some point they're going to show up, Like when you
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: got up when you got to play as many match
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: as you have to play to go on a on
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: a deep run in the World Cup and last night
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: that those two specific areas they they got exposed. And
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: that's probably a like I if there's something that Pachettino
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: is gonna want to address when he looks to if
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: he stays in that role as the manager.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: Okay, where do we have to get better?
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: Yes, we have to get better up front, We've got
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: to get polistic. Who's Captain America looking and playing like
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: Captain America in in these moments. But you gotta get
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: you got to get a thing younger, a little bit
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: more athletic on that back line, and then just you know,
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: try to get a goaltender that's closer to to to
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: Tim Howard than what you have right now.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: You also look, we we we reference the stars of
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: the other teams. And I'm not saying that we're going
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: to get a Bape or a Messi or Holly. I
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: understand that those are already all time greats or in
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Hollin's case, he's going to be, if not already right,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: So I know we're not going to get a guy
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: at that level, but we also need if that's the case,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: we need multiple polistics at the good stuff. I don't
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: mean like last night, we need we need multiple guys
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: because we're not going to be able to put together
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: one guy that can dominate. We need because if it's
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: going to be on one guy like Polistic, we're not
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: going to succeed. We need fitty, multiple star level players
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: and they need to perform. We'll get all these teams
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: that are still around. It's all the top teams. And
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: why is that because all their stars seem to show up,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: you know, every game Holland scoring, you know, when Bape's
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: doing what he does every game, their stars show up.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: And for us, our guy last night, who's not at
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: that level, but he's our guy. If he's not going
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: to show up, we're toast. Yeah, and that we're waffles.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: And that was the big thing that Carly Lloyd brought
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: up when she gave her reflections about and I think
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: you and I got to take some blame as to
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: why we have not achieved our soccer potential as a nation.
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: Previously. You and I both played at a really high level.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Some say the highest level in Northeastern Connecticut for me,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: but we.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: You know, for whatever reason, we pursued a career off
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: the pitch. Could you imagine if we would have you know,
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: when you were growing up, you would have been in
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: that that tm C Donovan, You know, you would have
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: been in that generation of soccer player.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Not far off from uh, some of these guys still
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: playing eight yeah, I mean nine one.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: Year older than me. Are younger than me, Ornardo.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: Is, I'm only twenty nine. I mean I was a
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: world class defender when I was when I was playing
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: Two more cups to go, probably right. So I do
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: think we've got to play as the two real foremost
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: soccer players at the station. You know, Mac and Willie
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: can fancy themselves as lovers of the game, but.
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: You and I don't.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: They don't have to. They don't have the shin scars
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: that we have.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: Could you imagine if if you would have played previously
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: and I was still playing right now, how much better
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: off American soccer could potentially be.
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: It's it's a missed opportunity.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Buy When they say the best athletes don't play soccer,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: they're talking about us. They're talking about not just Lebron.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: James and these other guys are talking about us.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: I will say some people are blaming Matt Curse. I
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: don't is that fair because he's on a cruise. He
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: he wasn't on the air yesterday, he didn't tweet about it.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: I think it's signal on the might not work on
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: their cruise. By the way, it does not, Okay, so
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: take that, take that piece and enjoy it. There off
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: it dog. Do we blame Mac for this?
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: I don't. I don't.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: I don't think we I don't think we can. I mean,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: if we're blaming Mad, that's just because he's alive. Is
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: that fair? I mean maybe, I don't know.
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: I mean, I I'm always down to blame Max, all right.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: I always find it fun just because it annoys him
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: and as much as he annoys us, and he's not
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: here to defend himself, he's not here to even tweet
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: about it.
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: To try to defend himself.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: I'm comfortable with saying, had Christopher McLean not talked about
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: the US men's national team's chances to go on a
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: deeper run on the World Cup, maybe just maybe they
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: still be playing.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Because you know, he's talking to somebody in that cruise
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: ship that where he he had to curse him all
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: on the way.
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: I can only imagine what poor soul had to hear
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: him talk about how they were gonna win the match.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: And let's hope it wasn't Diana Rossini because they there's
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: possibilities there are the same crew right now. I'm just
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: I'm just kidding. Well, am I kidding?
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: I don't know. We'll see when we come back.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: It's what the bleep stories in sports and in life
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: that make us say what the bleep. Let's just say
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: that Florida Man and Smoky the Bear has converged into
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: one story. Sports Radio nine seven WFNZ, All right back.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: In bone Joe.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Here we are trying to unpack what happened to the
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: US last night out there in Seattle. But right now
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: we're gonna do what the bleep stories in sports and
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: in life that make us say what the bleep? And
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: there are a lot of Florida Man stories on here,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: including a Florida Man from Jacksonville Fiddy, shot at a
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: bus and has been charged with aggravated assault. The reason
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: that he shot the bus is because they had the
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: audacity when he tried to get on the bus, they said, sir,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: you've got to pay the bus fare, and Florida man
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: doesn't like to have to pay bus fares. So he
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: did the normal thing and then he got off the bus,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: and then no one was injured. But he decided that
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: he was going to shoot at the side.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Of the bus.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Who's wrong here, the guy shooting the bus or the
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: people that said, sir, you've got to pay your bus fair.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: I'm going to go out on a limb here bone
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: and say, the guy that shot at the bus just
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: because the bus had to charge him, I think that
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: guy is in the wrong, just just a little bit.
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: Unless they were scouting him.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's having a bad day. They say, hey,
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: you know, I mean, I don't know. You're right.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Maybe how much was the fair? Let's be what's let's
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: be fair? How much was the fair? Was he overcharged?
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Good point?
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: We continue with Florida, where I think we've done this
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: story before or if this is if this is a
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: different one, this is crazy. Thirty year old Hunter Drake
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: love It, a thirty year old from Pace, Florida, was
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: indicted on federal charges for stealing numerous smoking the Bear
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: signs from state forrests across the Florida Panhandle and selling
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: them on Facebook marketplace for nineteen hundred dollars apiece.
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: Say related to Kerkes.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: This is the one where they did the sting operation
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: and they caught him. They tried to act like they
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: wanted to buy one, and they knew that they were
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: gonna catch him in the act, and they met up
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: with them and this is when they brought Yeah, we've
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: done this before, but he got ten years for that.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: That's the follow up.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: This is the sting operation where Smoking the Bear arrested him.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: They had a cop dressed it up, a cop was
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: dressed up at Smoking the Bear and he threw in
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: the back of.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: The cop car. Yeah.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, really, Florida, man in Facebook marketplace can't be
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: a place where good things happen.
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: Absolutely not.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: I'm we might need to Can you investigate what has
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: sold on Facebook marketplace in other areas?
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: Is that possible?
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Also, he was selling these for nineteen hundred a piece,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: so that means people on the other side of this
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: on Facebook, we're thinking, boy, I could really use that
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: smoking the Bear sign for nineteen hundred dollars.
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: How many did he sell? Do you know?
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Numerous ones? Yeah, a lot of them. He went to
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: all these different state forests and tole the signs. You
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: know that you prevent forest fire signs. Yeah, yeah, I
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: mean he needed those and he sold them. Well, how
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: does Zach come up in your head?
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Though? I can really sell that.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: There has to be a Reddit thread about the need
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: for people wanting to purchase purchase those signs. But at
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: nineteen hundred of pop, I think it's worth the risk.
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: I'd be willing to do it.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: That's a lot.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: We're going to go now here on what the believe,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: We're going to go to Howard County, that's in Maryland.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: We're according to a report by k h o U eleven,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: citing a source with the Howard County Police Department of
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: bodycam footage, a twenty nine year old Maryland man broke
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: into a Verizon wireless store. That's not the whole story though.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: While he was committing the robbery of cell phones, he
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: left his truck running and another criminal came by and
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: stole his truck, so he had He then had to
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: call the police and say, hey, I was robbing the
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: store and some guys stole my truck. Now guess who's
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: in jail with The guy that stole the truck and
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: him are now in jail together. If you're why if
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: you're gonna be a criminal, Like I don't condone it,
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: but why do you leave truck? I know you got
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: to get a quick getaway, but get an automatic start? Like,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: why do you leave your truck right here? One of
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: the odds, by the way, that in that quick robbery
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: of the store, you left your truck, run it and
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: some other criminal comes by.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: What are the odds of that happened?
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: That is tremendous?
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, gracious.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: We have done stories before about the the Waimo self
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: driving cars right where was it Atlanta in the neighborhood
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: where they went in circles for hours and they couldn't
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: stop them, Like there's always these crazy stories where they
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: have the mind of their own. Well, I guess in
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: San Francisco over the weekend after a fireworks show, traffic
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: was completely gridlocked because all the Waymos converged and started
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: to drive through the fireworks show where they were setting
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: off the fireworks. The Waymo cars drove through the fireworks,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: they got stuck so no one could leave the fireworks
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: show and the fireworks were ruined because the Waymo.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: Cars drove through the show. Do you hear anything good
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: about Waymos?
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: I gotta tell you I know at some point NASCAR
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: is probably gonna have waymos where no more drivers. But
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: to me, this isn't worth it. I need I need someone. Also,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: it's Alamelo Ball. Would you rather well Mellow drive you
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: or a way Mom away Mo Moor trustworthy?
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: Would they say yeah, yeah, you wouldn't get into Waymo.
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: I I don't know.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: I don't know if I could ever get into the
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: self driving vehicle. I heard Gary Parrish talk to him
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: because he has I guess the cyber trucks are self driving. Yeah,
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: how he will purposely like schedule his naps when he's
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: taking like long trips.
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: And his smart truck recorded him sleeping while.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: Driving and now it has locked the feature for it
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: to self drive.
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: That happened to him.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: I just don't think I could ever trust myself to
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: not be in control. And I'm not the best driver
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: in the world, don't get me wrong, but I don't
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: think I could ever not be in control whatever vehicle
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: that I'm moving in.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: If anyone's taking a self driving car before let us know,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: I want to know the experience. Seven four five, seven
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: nine six.
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: Is your new Kea not a self driving vehicle?
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: I have it I would never try. I would never.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: I would be too nervous.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: Because Wess mustang as he put a video up there
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: day on him like eating while he was driving.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know about that feature? I have one where?
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: What's the one I have there?
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: Where? It?
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: I think at stop lights, I can turn it off
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: and it'll turn them back on automatically. When I there's
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: some feature there, I forget what it is, but there's
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: there is some of that. But I would I would
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: be too jumpy if I wasn't controlling the car.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: I just I don't know. I'd be too nervous.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: The only time I would even consider it is if
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: I had no other choice but to a parallel park,
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: then I would put it in self driving mode because
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: I would trust that to parallel park better than I
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: could do it.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: I avoid situations, this is my own what to bleep?
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: If I had to parallel park, I can't I avoid.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: I avoid those situation I have left. I've left, yeah,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: go ahead, yeah, yeah.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: I have left certain functions or not have been at
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: certain functions because I had to parallel park and I
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: and I just had to lie and tell them that.
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: You know, something came up.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: Remember when y'all used to do trivia night at the
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: Wing King in Airslie. I used to park at the
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: movie theater back there because and walk all the way
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: to the Wing Camp because all the places.
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: Around the restaurant wild way.
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, because all the places closest to it were
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: parallel parking places and I couldn't do it. So I
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: would walk I don't know, a good half mile or
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: so to the restaurant because I could not parallel park.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: I can't either. And you talk about being tough in
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: the summer months, when when I've decided just to park
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: further away, Oh this is good. Then you end up
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: you have to walk like half a mile and you
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: end up sweating to death. When you get people are like,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: where are your bet? I was just outside having a chat,
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: you know, just talking to some French. Really, I walked
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: like a half a mile away.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I am not.
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: I'm a lot of things. I'm a lot of great things.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Let's be honest. I do a lot well. Parking is
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: not necessarily I could barely park my car straightforward some
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: days without having an incident where I'm just like, oh uh,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: but never mind.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Where I have to I have to bat that thing up. Man.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: If I'm backing that thing up, I'm in drumble.
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: Do you know who needs a self driving vehicle at
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: the station?
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Who's at Mark Garrison from WBT. Yeah, yeah, he has
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: trouble with the lines too out there sometimes.
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: I've seen him one time.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Maybe I feel like Richard Petty out there.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: He has parked his car in four parking spots at
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: the same time.
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: And I'm not exaggerating.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: And Bernie Balls from WBT has the footage of it
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: as well. It's almost as impressive as it is concerning.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: Let's do some more what the bleep story?
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: Send in your thoughts on all this seven oh four five,
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: seven h nine six, and we've got a lot more
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Fordaman to go here.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: Uh. A Florida man.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: Was arrested after exposing himself to a door dash driver.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: A floridaman was arrested for exposed to himself to a
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: door desk driver. He told deputies he was naked, not
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: to be lewde Per the Pope County Sheriff, because his
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: cat scratched him and he had to take off all
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: his clothes.
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: Talking about having cat scratch fever.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, why are we buying this one?
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: We buying that the cat?
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: He said, why would the cat scratching you make you
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: get naked to pick up your order?
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: Why? Why? Why?
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: Just what it feels like to me? Bone?
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: He just say it was looking for any reason and
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: any excuse to say it want to be naked, and
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: I understand the thought process behind it. I am at
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: my happiest when I have no clothes on, but I
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: cannot be naked for an extended period of time because
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: I had go to work. I live at home with
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: my mall Mall, I'm watching Max dogs right now. There's
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: only limited amount of naked time, but I'm open for
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: their being.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: And now you live with your grandma? Is that?
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: And I've had I've had to change a bunch of habits, Yeah,
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: like my sleeping habits. But when you go from sleeping
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: with nothing on to sleeping and clothes, it's a real
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: big adjustment.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: Here's why this guy's a fraud. Though.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: If you had to be naked, say the cat scratching
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: you was legitimate, why didn't you just have them drop
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: it off at your door and you pick it up.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Why did you have to be handed the bag? If
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: you're naked, you could change that so obviously this guy
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: preferred the naked drop off. And that's what Florida man does.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: He gets naked and these things happen. Florida man loves
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: to be naked, by the way, No one loves to
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: be naked more than Florida man all situations. But you're
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: simply getting your food. Were you gonna eat it naked?
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know? This is this is a lot going
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: on here, all right? My final story here a Florida man.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: This sus me. There's there's two more here. Actually, excuse me.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: A Florida man drove his tractor to re to go
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: get his pickup truck that he crashed earlier before, a
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: duy ors. So let's went through this here. He got
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: busted for drunk driving and then he had to leave
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: his car at the scene. So then he tried to
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: go haul his car away with his uh, with his tractor,
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: uh to get it out of the ditch there. So uh,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Florida man uh just not willing to give up his
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: ride driving his tractor while still drunk down the road.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: Have you ever been in that situation before?
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: I have not.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: You had to drive a tractor drunk before? No, I've
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: never been in Lancas or South Carolina. There's got to
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: be some drunk tractor driving going on down there. Mama's
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: got to ask some stories.
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: If not in Lancaster, we we know that in the
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: and Rob was a bunch of drunk tractor tractor driving
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: that goes on him there. I was just wonder what
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: the plan was for him to How is he gonna
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: get the tractor. So he was using the tractor to
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: get the direct truck.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: It's whit.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: It's worded a little bit weird because you can't says
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: man drives tractor to retrieve his pickup truck. He crashed
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: earlier in a ditch. Oh he crashed, Okay, he crashed it.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Didn't want to get caught, so then he went home
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: and got his tractor before the cops would see his
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: crash car. And then he got busted in the tracker. Okay,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: I thought he already got it red. No, he had
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: crashed his truck. Decided I better get this out of
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: here before the cops see this. And then I'm gonna
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: get my tractor and I'm gonna pull all Bessy Lou
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: out of the ditch. And he got busted on the tractor.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: He was drugg on the tractor by the way. Yeah,
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: so instead of getting to Duy in the car like
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: normal people, he got a dui and detractor.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: It makes sense with Duy and the car the a tractor.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, not that I want to put anybody in danger,
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: but just talking about like a tractor dui that can't
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: look good in the resume at all. All right, my
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: final story here. We're all aware of those Nigerian schemes, right,
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: those email schemes fitty where you know, send money now
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: because your cousin's been abducted or a prince needs money.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: A Florida woman in Sandford to Florida, per WKMGTV, fell
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: for a Nigerian scheme and she came home from work
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: to find her whole driveway was gone. What she got
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: scammed out of? Her entire driveway was torn up and missing.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: How does that happen? It's one thing to lose money.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: How did you fall for a scam where you lost
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: your entire driveway?
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: How do you lose your driveway?
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: I like, it's one thing to lose money, but to
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: wake up and say and also seals who steals a driveway?
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: My god like look?
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: It's one thing to steal Smoky the bear signs. It's
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: one thing to steal stop.
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: Signs or road signs.
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: But when I've never looked at a driveway and thought, man,
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: I gotta steal that.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: No, I've never thought, well, I'm really jelt to that
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: driveway over there. All right, So that's a that's a
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: lot there to one pack. I had extra stories today
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: because the macer is out. Fitty, I'm sure you have
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: an update for us. Right by the way, check ma
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: Maall's driveway. I'm concerned about it.
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: Right, I'll make sure I go by there to make
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: sure it's safe and sound.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: Alrighty Fitty, all right, our beer is in a way
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: mooad right now, he says, driving around.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's true. I don't know this.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: Other guy says he just took what it feels like
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: someone's driving to you. Well, I think that's the point.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: I do believe that's the point of the waveboat.
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: This update, Broon, is an update bone is brought to
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: you by H and S Roofing and Gutter Company. If
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: something doesn't look right with your roof or your gunners,
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: only for a small problem to become a big one,
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: called h and S Roofing and Gutter Company for a
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: free estimate seven zero four three three four nine nine
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: three four. That is, seven zero four three three four
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: nine nine three four seven zero four three three.
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: Four nine to nine three four.
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: We may not have been happy with the US men's
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: national team last night, bone Man, but we were happy
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: with our baseball teams. The Yankees get a five to
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: one win on the road against Tampa Bay Holy Cow,
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: and the New York Metropolitans go into Atlanta. They complete
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: the wrap around four game series. They split that. They
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: beat the Braves last night seven to six and extras,
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: in large part thanks to a go ahead three run
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: home run by Juan Soto in the ninth inning to
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: put the Mets up five to three. The Braves come
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: back and force extras before falling in extras. So, for
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: the rare time here in the summer, you and I
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: both happy with what our baseball teams did on the
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: diamond last night.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Yankees are in there June July swoon right now.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: So that was good to see a lot of teams
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: are limping to the All Star break, including the Braves,
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: who was mentioned, they're just they they were they were
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: starting to roll the Mets this weekend, and then they
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: lost to just insane games back to back. So the
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: downfall of the Braves continues as they're trying to hold
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: off the Phillies. Now, who I believe are what three
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: games back? I think right now? Throw maybe three? I
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: have to look that up there. I think it's three backs. So,
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: uh yeah, they're they're in a race. As I heard
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: Jeff pass And saying today, we never thought the Braves
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: would be in a race this year, but here they
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: are in a in a tight one with the Phillies
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: ap approaching the All Star break, Fitty, we got a
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: lot of talk real sports today, talk football. We're gonna
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: do that next. We're gonna look for local fans that
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: are fired up for their college football team. But the
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: big question is who are they because a lot of
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: these programs have some questions. So if you're a fired
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: up college football fan, we want to hear from you.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: And why Sports Radio ninety two seven WFND back and
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Boat Show years spent all morning really trying to figure
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: out what happened on the pitch last night. We will
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: eventually put that behind us and focus on the actual Well,
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: I a should say actual, but the other version of
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: football here, American football, that's college football, that's the pro football.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: It's coming up, it's not far from now. I do
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: want to point out one more thing on the US
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: performance last night, Finty. I just saw the ESPN Soccer
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: Fee put out a stat at Palllistic lost the ball
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: last night, lost possession eleven times in forty five minutes.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: He played forty five minutes and lost the ball eleven
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: times last night. That's an insane number.
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: It's not what you want at that level now, what
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: you want from you. You're one of one player, like
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: you said, is he Holland?
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: Is he? And bope? Is he messy? No he's not,
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: but he's our version of that exactly.
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: Cannot have you know that that type of that lack
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: of production, if you will, And I wonder how much
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: of that maybe played a role. I remember going back
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: to the Bosnian match where Stu Holden was very critical
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: about wanting to get him involved, and John Trong asked him, well,
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: how do you get him involved? And he simply said,
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: get him the ball? And I wonder was there may
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: be a lack of trust with what he could do
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: as a creator when he got the ball from his teammates.
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: I think, I think, I know, we got to get
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: to the football here just a second. I think if
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: Pachettino stays, and I want him to stay, I hope
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: that they can get to a contract agreement and he resigns,
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: the next four years has got to be about maximizing
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: Christian polistics talent at the World Cup level, because I
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: don't think that's happened under the previous managers. I don't
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: want to hold this previous or this current World Cup
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: against Patchettino one hundred percent. But if he resigns, they
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: got to fix the back line, they got to fix
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: the goal, the goaltending. But maximizing his ability has got
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: to be a job number one for him.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: We'll talk more about that with Adam Gold and Willie
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: p uh in the eight and then nine o'clock hours
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: of college football stuff.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: Here.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: I asked going to break what local fans are most
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: fired up for their team, because there's a lot of
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: teams here with woe, expectations and a lot of questions.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: I don't really know how many fan bases are truly
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: of the local variety fired up. I think there are
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: at least two fiddy that I think are more on
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: the positive side than the other ones. I think it's
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: the game Cocks because of bringing Sellers back, They've got
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: Dylan Stewart, they have a lot there I think of excitement.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: We'll see how it plays out, but I think game
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: Cock fans for this list are on the excited side.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: And I think ECU fans, I think they've got a
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: lot of hope. They've got the highest over under total
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: of all these Of all these teams, I think South
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: Carolina ECU fall on the fired upside, but it's all
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: the other ones. I have no idea UNC Duke fans, wait,
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: Clemson State, app Charlotte.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: Where do they.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: Fall on their excitement for their own team? That's for
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: them to answer, But I don't know where they fall.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: I know some don't fall very positive.
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: As a as a Tar Heel fan.
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: As we're getting closer and closer to the start of
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: the season, as I typically do every year, I'm starting
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: to talk myself into this team being better than what
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: maybe the national pundic expect them to be. So I'm
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: getting more and more excited, you know, seeing a national
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: media member like Brad Crawford put them at six and six.
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: Maybe helps sat because maybe there is a belief that
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: this team can and will be better. But you know,
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: when you look at it, if you had to ask me,
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: I think if if if you were an ECU fan,
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: I think you've got to be really excited about where
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: your program is. The job that Harold has done since
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: he you know, took over, got the interim, now has
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: been the full time head coach. The look they'll be
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: on a national stage in the in the opening week
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: of the year playing at Alabama. Are you gonna win
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: that game? I would assume no, But your your program's
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: gonna be put on display for the entire country to
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: watch see what you have to offer. That'll be really
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: cool for them. And you know, they got to replace Howser.
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: But if they can, if they can replace the quarterback
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: and they can kind of do what they've done the
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: past couple of years, they they're in a position, I
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: think to win seven eight games, and that's it's a
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: really good spot to be. I think that's where that
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: fan base that experienced success under Steve Logan back in
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: the nineties, what Ruffa McNeil did with them in the
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: two thousands would love to be back at that place
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: where they're expecting to win seven eight games on a
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: year and year out basis. I think that's the fan
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: base locally that if they want, they have the best
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: reason to be fired up entering this upcoming year.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that the ECU side of this. You know,
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: if Kane Hauser, who's now a quarterback in Illinois, if
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: he was there, you wonder if there would be some
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: group of five playoff chatter for ECU. I think, Look,
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: I don't I'm not going to predict them to go
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: beat Bama in the first game, but I'm not surprised
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: if they pushed Bama a little bit because Bama I
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: don't think is this is obviously not vintage times for them,
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: still good, but it's not completely out of the rub
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: of possibility that ECU takes that game third quarter, fourth
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: quarter close.
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: I think ECU can at least push.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: Alabama in that game, improve something there, and then will
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: that carry them the rest of the way in a
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: shocking turn of events. Fitty, I have an early problem
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: with a Clemson.
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: Fan here, Oh why would you?
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: Because he says eight six' four unnamed of course says
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: will at least beat the Game, Cox duke And North. Carolina,
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: uh is this one of These clemson fans that might
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: need a reality check here on who you? Are Because
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: duke's beating you the last and if you Count South,
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: carolina you've lost four out of six to the Game
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: cox And. Duke so that stuff right there may have
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: man sense years. Ago i'm not Saying duke's gonna be
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: great this, year but you're running your mouth about Beating.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: Duke he hadn't done it in a, while so maybe
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a reality check, there. FELLA i
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: do think who has the belt right?
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: Now? Fiddy who has the? Belt who's got that title? Strap?

• 40:25
  Speaker 1: to compete with the pressure of going back to.

  Speaker 4: BACK i do THINK i Think clemson's gonna bounce. BACK
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: i at.
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: What level, THOUGH.
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: I think they're gonna win double digit. Games i'm really
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: big on The Chad morris rehire there At, clemson AND
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: i know a lot of it is people looking at
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: us a safe. Higher you, know it's Just dabo hiring,
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: familiarity and maybe that's what it turns out to. Be
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: and and if that's the, case this might be the
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: higher that does Cost dabo his, job whether that Means
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: clemson out right, Five Maybe dabo just, resigns goes on

  Speaker 3: i know they're gonna be good.
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: Offensively the quarterback's a question, though but.
• 41:19

• 41:24
  Speaker 3: know If zena is gonna be What clemson fans Post
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: tage Boyd air expect from their. QUARTERBACKS i don't know

• 41:34
  Speaker 3: puts up numbers, Bone i'm not gonna be surprised because
• 41:37

  Speaker 3: in better, fits better commitment to what he wants them
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: to do on that side of the.
• 41:50
  Speaker 4: Ball but there's no doubt about.
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: It like if they go they go eight and four
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: and they're six and two in the league and they
• 41:58

  Speaker 3: is just seven and Five South, carolina not even like
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: on the doorstep Of south the Playoffs South. Carolina but
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: The dabo conversation is not gonna go.

  Speaker 3: BE i could see him re you, know revitalizing that
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: program just like he did back when he got hired
• 43:42
