Speaker 2: Let's have some fun. I can't go to work without
0:16
Speaker 2: listening to Mac and Bone.
0:18
Speaker 1: Do it live.
0:27
Speaker 2: See you on James.
0:32
Speaker 1: Inbounds to the corner. Kobe White puts up the three.
0:34
Speaker 1: It's good!
0:35
Speaker 3: It's good!
0:36
Speaker 1: It's good! It's good! There you go. That is the
0:42
Speaker 1: Hornets radio network. Sam Farber, voice of the Hornets. What
0:46
Speaker 1: a call, man. And many of those great calls are
0:49
Speaker 1: coming this season. We can't wait until we get the
0:53
Speaker 1: Hornets season going. It's good in here, Hugo. And we've
0:55
Speaker 1: got a whole Hornets crew assembled here. Chief Revenue Officer
0:59
Speaker 1: Mike Behan here for a big announcement. But we got Hugo.
1:03
Speaker 1: We got some of the lovely honeybees in the house
1:05
Speaker 1: as well. Hugo brought donuts. I mean, just when I
1:08
Speaker 1: thought I couldn't love this guy more. Yeah, they're over here.
1:11
Speaker 3: I got Hugo and the donuts over here right now.
1:13
Speaker 3: By the way, the mystery of... We think Hugo might
1:17
Speaker 3: be Sam Farber today.
1:18
Speaker 1: We'll try to figure this out. He doesn't like it
1:20
Speaker 1: when we talk about his identity. Look at him. He's
1:22
Speaker 1: very upset with us or she, we don't know. We
1:27
Speaker 1: don't know who's in there. Um, this is an exciting
1:31
Speaker 1: moment though, for the station. We hope it is for
1:33
Speaker 1: the Hornets. Our partner, Mike Behan is with us. Chief
1:36
Speaker 1: revenue officer, Mike, do you want to give our listeners
1:40
Speaker 1: the news? Yes, absolutely.
1:41
Speaker 4: An incredibly exciting day here today for the Hornets. Um,
1:45
Speaker 4: For the 18th consecutive season, Hornets basketball will be on
1:48
Speaker 4: the home of the Charlotte sports fan, WFNZ. Couldn't be
1:51
Speaker 4: more excited to start the season with you guys again.
1:53
Speaker 1: That is awesome. That is absolutely awesome, and we're pumped
1:56
Speaker 1: about it, too. Tremendous. I mean, I could tell you
2:00
Speaker 1: what we like about the partnership. You know, I mean,
2:02
Speaker 1: it just feels like as the sports station, if we
2:05
Speaker 1: don't have you, it doesn't feel right. You know what
2:07
Speaker 1: I mean? I can't imagine it being another way. They
2:10
Speaker 1: don't let me in the negotiations, though, Mike. You know that. Mac,
2:12
Speaker 1: we feel the same. If we don't have you, it
2:14
Speaker 1: doesn't feel right either. Oh, my God. Did I not
2:16
Speaker 1: beg for that, Boney, for that station compliment? Does that
2:18
Speaker 1: mean you're whistling to Mac's draft ideas? What about Bones
2:23
Speaker 1: marketing ideas? Do you listen to those? Those are not bad.
2:26
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
2:26
Speaker 1: He's got a lot of them. We're always looking for
2:28
Speaker 1: some good ideas. I've missed on a few.
2:30
Speaker 3: Like when I tried to do Tony Parker night, or
2:33
Speaker 3: winter coats for Tony Parker, that didn't work.
2:35
Speaker 1: Out too well.
2:36
Speaker 3: They didn't take that one, did they? Tyler Hansborough tea,
2:38
Speaker 3: saw Psycho Sweet Tea. These are all ideas I had
2:41
Speaker 3: that simply just never panned out.
2:44
Speaker 1: I guess. What are you excited about as a Chief
2:47
Speaker 1: Revenue Officer, obviously being with us, that you're excited about?
2:51
Speaker 1: But in a general sense, I mean, what's exciting on
2:53
Speaker 1: your side of things with the Hornets going into the season? Yeah, no, absolutely.
2:56
Speaker 4: I think for us, I mean, you know, specifically on
2:59
Speaker 4: this relationship, the opportunity to be a fan first organization.
3:02
Speaker 4: We know that Charlotte sports fans tune into WFNZ every
3:06
Speaker 4: single day to get their Hornets news. And not only
3:08
Speaker 4: the game days, but all the additional programming we'll be
3:11
Speaker 4: doing with you with the weekly segments and having our
3:12
Speaker 4: coaching staff and players participate as well. It's going to
3:15
Speaker 4: be a great relationship and just continuing to build on
3:17
Speaker 4: everything we're doing as we head into the season. I mean,
3:20
Speaker 4: there's no no better time to be a Hornets fan
3:22
Speaker 4: right now. We've got a lot of excitement around the organization. Obviously,
3:25
Speaker 4: last season was a remarkable year capped with a great
3:29
Speaker 4: play and win at the Spectrum Center and. The momentum
3:31
Speaker 4: we've seen throughout the course of the summer has just
3:33
Speaker 4: continued to build, and we're looking forward to opening night
3:36
Speaker 4: here in a couple weeks.
3:37
Speaker 3: You've also got the local TV deal as well. It's
3:40
Speaker 3: not just us here, that SOC TV, now part of
3:43
Speaker 3: the family. That's always been a big deal with a
3:46
Speaker 3: lot of our fans. Hey, we were into it, but
3:48
Speaker 3: we want to see more. So that's got to be
3:50
Speaker 3: a huge thing as well for you guys. Quite an
3:52
Speaker 3: off-season here.
3:52
Speaker 1: I mean, we heard a lot of feedback.
3:54
Speaker 4: I mean, quite honestly, fans calling into your show and saying, hey,
3:57
Speaker 4: we want to be able to watch Hornets games easier.
3:59
Speaker 4: We want to have more accessibility. And so we spent
4:01
Speaker 4: a lot of time over the summer really thinking about
4:04
Speaker 4: all the different platforms to get our games, get our
4:06
Speaker 4: content in front of our fans. And the relationship with
4:09
Speaker 4: WSOC is a great one. Obviously, the opportunity to be
4:11
Speaker 4: over the air for all fans across Charlotte is significant.
4:15
Speaker 4: To be able to expand that relationship outside of the
4:17
Speaker 4: city of Charlotte as well to other outer markets has
4:19
Speaker 4: been important. So For us, it's about getting our fans
4:22
Speaker 4: access to what they want. And what we hear is
4:24
Speaker 4: they want Hornets content. And so this relationship in WSOC
4:28
Speaker 4: is a big part of that.
4:29
Speaker 1: The improvements and upgrades to the arena, too. I just
4:32
Speaker 1: felt like last year was such a perfect storm for y'all.
4:35
Speaker 1: The arena was better. The team was amazing. But how
4:40
Speaker 1: big is the arena being reimagined a part of what's
4:45
Speaker 1: going on?
4:45
Speaker 4: Yeah, the arena was fantastic. I think some of the
4:47
Speaker 4: things we were able to do from a fan concessions
4:50
Speaker 4: experience as well, we talked about You know, the two
4:52
Speaker 4: dollar Hugo Hive menu to make sure that when fans
4:55
Speaker 4: come in, they have a great experience from a seating perspective,
4:57
Speaker 4: but also have the ability to get concessions at an
5:00
Speaker 4: affordable price that we've heard great feedback from that. And now,
5:04
Speaker 4: you know, if you've if you've come by the arena recently,
5:06
Speaker 4: you see the Novak Health Performance Center going up each
5:09
Speaker 4: and every day.
5:10
Speaker 1: It seems like it gets closer and closer.
5:12
Speaker 4: And, you know, we just did a hard hat tour
5:14
Speaker 4: last week and it's great to see how far it's
5:16
Speaker 4: come along.
5:16
Speaker 1: Awesome.
5:17
Speaker 3: I would never make this about me here by any means.
5:20
Speaker 3: How how big was the the highly rated Hornets pregame show?
5:27
Speaker 1: It was the number one thing we heard feedback from.
5:29
Speaker 1: That's for sure. You brought them back into it personally.
5:32
Speaker 1: You and Kyle Bailey. It was the momentum. It was
5:34
Speaker 1: the momentum we needed. We are the highest.
5:35
Speaker 3: Rated Hornets radio pregame show in the whole entire city.
5:38
Speaker 3: I want that note. About eight years running also. We
5:43
Speaker 3: have just blown away the competition.
5:45
Speaker 4: It was what led the team out of the tunnel
5:47
Speaker 4: to give them excitement leading into the season, leading into
5:49
Speaker 4: the games.
5:50
Speaker 1: How about that?
5:50
Speaker 2: Yeah.
5:51
Speaker 1: Anyway, back to you, Mac. Pat him on the back
5:53
Speaker 1: so he doesn't have to keep doing it to himself, Hugo.
5:55
Speaker 1: I mean, seriously. It's a hard pat right there. Hugo's
5:58
Speaker 1: still mad about that Sam Farber's in the costume theory.
6:01
Speaker 1: He is not happy about that.
6:02
Speaker 3: Hugo's also wondering why you haven't had a donut yet.
6:05
Speaker 3: I'm trying to show some restraint while we have guests.
6:08
Speaker 3: My wife asked for me to show restraint with food
6:10
Speaker 3: at the house.
6:11
Speaker 1: I'm trying to do it here. Hugo is stunned right now. Oh, man. Well, OK,
6:16
Speaker 1: this is awesome news. We're so glad to have you
6:18
Speaker 1: guys back. I do need to point out to the
6:21
Speaker 1: texters that Mike Behan, chief revenue officer. um we cannot
6:26
Speaker 1: we do not need to grill him about trading lamello
6:28
Speaker 1: ball i just that he is not responsible for any
6:30
Speaker 1: we can bring on like hugo would what they.
6:33
Speaker 4: Want to grill hugo would be a good person yeah oh.
6:36
Speaker 1: So hugo would be the one when do we get
6:38
Speaker 1: the exclusive interview i think part of our deal though
6:41
Speaker 1: bone should be the exclusive interview hugo finally talks for
6:45
Speaker 1: the first time that would be big you know I
6:49
Speaker 1: don't know if we can do that, though.
6:50
Speaker 5: Yeah.
6:50
Speaker 1: I think that would cost us a lot of money
6:52
Speaker 1: to be able to secure that.
6:54
Speaker 3: If only Finney could have the same tone of Hugo here.
6:57
Speaker 3: Just not a lot of talking. If Finney wouldn't talk
6:59
Speaker 3: like this.
6:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Oh, man. We should put Finney in the
7:02
Speaker 1: station mascot outfit, I feel like.
7:04
Speaker 3: Well, we're excited, but we've got a big giveaway, too,
7:06
Speaker 3: involving you guys today.
7:07
Speaker 1: We can't wait to do this.

7:13
Speaker 1: them a family four pack for the opener so.
7:15
Speaker 4: The opener is gonna be awesome it's gonna be a
7:17

7:19
Speaker 4: the opener the hawks coming to town obviously a a
7:23
Speaker 4: close rival of ours and The first time for fans
7:25
Speaker 4: to be back in the Spectrum Center since last year's
7:28
Speaker 4: big Miami win in the playing game.
7:29
Speaker 1: How about these Mack and Bone custom jerseys they brought in, man?
7:32
Speaker 1: How awesome is that? I know, baby. So when we
7:34
Speaker 1: get the WFNZ pickup league team together, baby, we're going
7:36
Speaker 1: to have our own jerseys. Yeah, you guys should put
7:39
Speaker 1: together a media game. Mack and I would love to
7:41
Speaker 1: be out there.
7:41
Speaker 4: We need to have a media game. That's a great suggestion.
7:44
Speaker 4: There's our first good marketing idea right there.
7:46
Speaker 1: How about this? What if Mac and I coached a
7:49
Speaker 1: media team? That would be better. That would be better.
7:52
Speaker 1: You may kill me if I had to run out
7:53
Speaker 1: there on the court at 52. Well, what did they
7:56
Speaker 1: do in Boston? They had the coaches against the media.
7:59
Speaker 1: It apparently got very embarrassing for the media. Joe Gazzullo
8:02
Speaker 1: took it serious, too. I think Charles Lee would love
8:05
Speaker 1: to embarrass... All of us, I feel like. He probably, yeah,
8:08
Speaker 1: he's a good basketball player still. I know it, man.
8:11
Speaker 1: I believe it. Well, hey, Mike, we appreciate it. Hugo,
8:14

Speaker 4: is a really exciting day for the Hornets organization. It's
8:30
Speaker 4: going to lead into what's going to be a fantastic
8:32
Speaker 4: season here on WFNZ.
8:34
Speaker 1: Awesome. Awesome. Good deal. All right. That's Mike Behan, chief
8:36
Speaker 1: revenue officer of the Charlotte Horns. I don't know why
8:40
Speaker 1: Hugo is right over your shoulder like he's like he's
8:42
Speaker 1: watching out for you.
8:43
Speaker 3: We've known each other for years, obviously. Also, Texter Bryant's
8:47
Speaker 3: got draft beer questions for you about the games. He's
8:50
Speaker 3: won that. If you have those answers for him. He's
8:53
Speaker 3: got questions about draft beers. We'll have to come back
8:55
Speaker 3: on the draft beers.
8:57
Speaker 1: Dude, their local craft beer selection is great, man. I
9:00
Speaker 1: freaking love it. They think he's handling every question with

9:06
Speaker 1: have him in beer. We got him in every department.
9:09

Speaker 1: And great to be back with you guys. All right,
9:14
Speaker 1: there you go. That is the Charlotte Hornets. We also, Bone,
9:17
Speaker 1: have to get the word out about the giveaway. Now, Fitty,
9:19
Speaker 1: you got this set up on the text line over there?
9:23
Speaker 1: Somebody wants to know, do I get a night out
9:24
Speaker 1: with Hugo in the giveaway? I don't know if that's...
9:26
Speaker 1: That might be a future giveaway. You got it set
9:31
Speaker 1: up over there? What do they got to do, Finney,
9:33
Speaker 1: to win the prize pack?

10:00
Speaker 1: But all you got to do, text Hugo, 7045709610. Get
10:03
Speaker 1: in there before 945. We'll do the drawing at 945.
10:09
Speaker 3: All right, thanks to the Hornets for coming in, the Honeybees,
10:12
Speaker 3: the Donuts, and Hugo when we come back. College football
10:15
Speaker 3: week one begins tonight, so it's time to go on
10:18
Speaker 3: the record, oh no, with our picks. Who's our champ,
10:21
Speaker 3: our final four, our Heisman winner? Mike, these never go wrong.
10:25
Speaker 3: Sports Radio, 92.7 WFNZ.
10:43
Speaker 5: I'm actually going with Miami to win the national championship
10:46
Speaker 5: because I think as much as people look at those
10:48
Speaker 5: pass rushers, they lost and you lost Carson Beck. I
10:52
Speaker 5: don't know why I did air quotes.
10:54
Speaker 1: It is true that he's not there anymore.
10:55
Speaker 5: I think, you know, Carson Beck is no longer there.
10:59
Speaker 2: Right.
11:00
Speaker 5: The preview magazine culture that I grew up in, like
11:03
Speaker 5: a lot of people were accustomed to growing up in,
11:06
Speaker 5: they talk so much about lost production and it doesn't,
11:10
Speaker 5: concern itself nearly enough with, well, what's the backfill? Who's
11:13
Speaker 5: replacing it?
11:14
Speaker 1: And in most places, it is true. If you lose.
11:17
Speaker 5: Offensive linemen and pass rushers and a quarterback like Miami lost,
11:21
Speaker 5: history says you take a step back. There are exceptions
11:24
Speaker 5: to all of those rules. Miami is simply an exception
11:26
Speaker 5: to that rule right now. And while I won't argue
11:29
Speaker 5: that they have another Reuben Bain and Akeem Mesidor pairing
11:32
Speaker 5: on that team, I think there are a lot of guys,
11:34
Speaker 5: Lightfoot up front, they brought in Damon Wilson in the portal.
11:37
Speaker 5: There are a number of guys that Truthfully, it would
11:39
Speaker 5: have been starting elsewhere last year that were just contributors
11:43
Speaker 5: and depth providers and role players for them that could
11:46
Speaker 5: be stars this year.
11:48
Speaker 1: That is Josh Payton with Rich Eisen. Miami is his
11:52
Speaker 1: national champion. That's going to polarize the audience, Bowen. I'm
11:57
Speaker 1: sure there's some ACC fans or some Canes fans that
11:59
Speaker 1: like that. There's probably plenty of ACC fans and fans
12:02
Speaker 1: elsewhere that think the Canes are being overhyped this summer.
12:05
Speaker 1: You better jump on board. It's a Mike Orvin impression.
12:13
Speaker 1: I think they're going to be right there in the mix.
12:15
Speaker 1: And we're getting ready to do our predictions, Bone. Week
12:18
Speaker 1: one starts tonight. Wake Akron, Georgia Tech, Colorado among the
12:23
Speaker 1: games tonight. So this is our final chance, Bone, to
12:26
Speaker 1: get all our predictions out there. We encourage you all
12:29
Speaker 1: to play along. Play the Mac and Bone home game.
12:32
Speaker 1: All right. Text in. Your thoughts on the different categories
12:37
Speaker 1: of the prediction, 704, 570, 9610, or just simply tell
12:41
Speaker 1: us if you don't like our picks. I don't feel
12:44
Speaker 1: like I need to encourage them to do that, Boney.
12:46
Speaker 1: So let's start off ACC champion. Let's start off with
12:51
Speaker 1: that one. This may be a short conversation. Bone, and
12:55
Speaker 1: we'll get Fidian on all these too. Bone, who's your
12:57
Speaker 1: ACC champ? Let me crunch the numbers here, go through
13:00
Speaker 1: some things here. Miami. Back yours. I get Miami. Who
13:05
Speaker 1: do you get? I feel like we can't make this
13:09
Speaker 1: more difficult than it needs to be. Miami, I know
13:13
Speaker 1: last year, Bone, they tripped up twice, even though they
13:15
Speaker 1: had the most talented roster. But I think this is
13:18
Speaker 1: a year they finally break through and win the ACC
13:20
Speaker 1: for the first time. I will say this. I like
13:23
Speaker 1: Louisville to be here in Charlotte and play them. I
13:28
Speaker 1: love their backfield. I love the kid Richardson that transferred
13:32
Speaker 1: from Vandy at receiver. Lubin's a great pass rusher. I'd
13:36
Speaker 1: go Louisville to play them. I'm taking Smoo to play them. Okay. Fitty,
13:39
Speaker 1: who is your champion and your runner-up in the ACC?
13:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not saving the graphic here, guys. I have
13:45
Speaker 2: Miami winning the ACC for the first time over Dabo
13:49
Speaker 2: Sweeney's Clemson Tigers. I had SMU in my preseason ballot.
13:53
Speaker 3: Whoa!
13:54
Speaker 2: But I've really bought in on Chad Morris and this
13:57
Speaker 2: offense with Clemson. I think they get to the ACC
14:00
Speaker 2: title game. They lose to Miami.
14:02
Speaker 1: Oh, my God. Clemson, Phinney, man. A whole vibe. Phinney's
14:05
Speaker 1: driving the rest of y'all bus this morning, y'all. I
14:07
Speaker 1: wonder what he pulled in. Hello, Clemson. He pulled into
14:10
Speaker 1: the parking lot in a bus. I didn't know that
14:12
Speaker 1: what he was driving. He is driving the rest of
14:14
Speaker 1: y'all bus.
14:15
Speaker 2: It's different than the other bus I drive.
14:16
Speaker 1: Okay. He's going to leave that there. All right, let's
14:21
Speaker 1: go to SEC. Boney, who is winning the SEC this season?
14:27
Speaker 3: Winning the SEC, Mac, I am going to go with,
14:30
Speaker 3: I'm not going to say South Carolina like some people anticipate.
14:33
Speaker 3: I'm going to go... The Georgia Bulldogs win the SEC.
14:37
Speaker 3: That is my pick as well. Texas may have more
14:40
Speaker 3: top-to-bottom talent, but I don't trust them still yet to
14:44
Speaker 3: pick them over.
14:45
Speaker 1: I trust Kirby Smart.
14:46
Speaker 3: I know what they are. I know what they're going
14:47
Speaker 3: to be. Texas, I still don't have full faith. that
14:51
Speaker 3: they're going to meet those expectations.
14:52
Speaker 1: Georgia, I know I'm a curse, but I haven't cursed
14:55
Speaker 1: Georgia lately. They have won. I have picked them to
14:57
Speaker 1: win the SEC the last two years. They've won it
14:59
Speaker 1: the last two years. If it does come down to
15:03
Speaker 1: Georgia and Texas for the SEC title, I know who
15:05
Speaker 1: I'm picking in that one. Georgia absolutely punks them in
15:08
Speaker 1: the trenches on the regular, and I'm going with Georgia.
15:12
Speaker 1: I think Gunnar gets even better bone at quarterback, and
15:17
Speaker 1: I love that defense. It's young, man, but it is
15:19
Speaker 1: talented like always. Fitty, who is your SEC champion pick?
15:23
Speaker 2: We're going three for three again. I have the Georgia Bulldogs.
15:26
Speaker 2: Kirby builds that program to win the SEC every single year.
15:31
Speaker 2: I do think Texas gets there. I think Texas will
15:34
Speaker 2: play for an SEC championship. Give me the Georgia Bulldogs
15:37
Speaker 2: to win it. My surprise in the SEC, keep your
15:40
Speaker 2: eye on Florida. I think they can make things really
15:43
Speaker 2: interesting because they're going to start fast.
15:46
Speaker 1: How interesting you talk, because I definitely think they're going
15:48
Speaker 1: to be better. I think their offense is going to
15:50
Speaker 1: be fun.
15:52
Speaker 2: They're at least a nine-win football team.
15:54
Speaker 1: So you think they flirt with the playoff?
15:56
Speaker 5: Yes.
15:57
Speaker 3: My question for you, though, is I like the fact
16:00
Speaker 3: you're going out on a whim there. But we have
16:02
Speaker 3: to see Aaron Filo, though, right? That's a big question mark.
16:05
Speaker 3: The system went with him, though. I think that's big, right?
16:07
Speaker 3: But you're right. He was a backup at Georgia Tech.
16:09
Speaker 3: It's like, how good are you individually? But at least
16:13
Speaker 3: Faulkner's offense is coming with him. He's the new OC there, too.
16:17
Speaker 2: Those backs and those receivers, man. They're going to be
16:19
Speaker 2: explosive on offense.
16:20
Speaker 1: Who do you have in the title game, Bone? I
16:22
Speaker 1: didn't ask you. Who do you have losing to Georgia
16:24
Speaker 1: in the SEC title game?
16:26
Speaker 3: Title game, I am going to go with, I'm going
16:29
Speaker 3: to roll with Ole Miss. I'm taking Ole Miss for
16:32
Speaker 3: the title. I think Chambliss is going to be right
16:34
Speaker 3: there for the Heisman Trophy. I don't think we talk
16:36
Speaker 3: enough about it's not only Chambliss, but it's also Lacey,
16:39
Speaker 3: that running back who is going to be one of
16:41
Speaker 3: the best players in the country.
16:42
Speaker 1: I am going to ride Ole Miss. to the championship game.
16:45
Speaker 1: That's a good pick. That was a good pick. I
16:48
Speaker 1: was thinking of that one. I'll go Texas. I'll go boring.
16:51
Speaker 1: I'll go with the two chalky teams. I'm going to go.
16:52
Speaker 1: But I could see Ole Miss. Horns down, buddy. We
16:57
Speaker 1: got Gator fans saying go Gators. We got Sirloin to
17:00
Speaker 1: beef saying Vandy will win the SEC. Sirloin. Sirloin. Come on, Sirloin.
17:06
Speaker 1: DePavio errors. But I'm not going to say they're going
17:09
Speaker 1: to stink. But I feel like they have to take
17:12
Speaker 1: a step back a little bit this year. Martin says
17:16
Speaker 1: bleep Darian Mensah. I'm guessing he's a Duke fan, Boney.
17:19
Speaker 1: Sounds like it. Unless he's a Tulane fan. That is true.
17:24
Speaker 1: He has ticked off two fan bases in the last
17:26
Speaker 1: two off seasons.
17:27
Speaker 3: By the way, did Hugo— he' s still carrying donuts around the hallway.
17:30
Speaker 1: So more people are getting donuts from Hugo?
17:32
Speaker 3: Yeah.
17:32
Speaker 1: God, what a gentleman. What a gentleman. All right, let's
17:35
Speaker 1: go with the next conversation. The final four in the playoff. Again,
17:41
Speaker 1: y'all feel free to chime in if you hate our opinions,
17:44
Speaker 1: if you have your own opinions on these topics. 704-5709-610-BS says,
17:50
Speaker 1: hot take, Texas goes eight and four and misses the playoffs. Yeah.
17:54
Speaker 2: If that happens, Sark's getting canned.
17:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would agree with that. That is not going
17:58
Speaker 1: to be good enough, man. There is pressure on him.
18:00
Speaker 1: With all the talent they bring in and the money
18:02
Speaker 1: they spend, Cam Coleman and Smothers added to that offense,
18:07
Speaker 1: I think they'll be good. They'll be somewhere between what
18:09
Speaker 1: he thinks and what some of the national media think.
18:13
Speaker 1: All right, so your final four bone in the CFP,
18:16
Speaker 1: who do you got in the final four?
18:17
Speaker 3: I have Miami, Notre Dame, Indiana, and Georgia. In the
18:22
Speaker 3: final four, I have a final game where they're going
18:27
Speaker 3: to be dancing in the streets of the state of Indiana,
18:30
Speaker 3: Notre Dame and Indiana in the national title game.
18:34
Speaker 1: However, this year it goes the way. of the Fighting Irish.
18:37
Speaker 1: They beat Indiana.
18:38
Speaker 3: I have doubted Indiana a lot, especially last year in
18:41
Speaker 3: the playoffs. I'm at the point now where I'm just
18:45
Speaker 3: going to go ahead and believe in Cignetti. I'm not
18:48
Speaker 3: going to doubt him anymore. Mac, you saw the TCU
18:51
Speaker 3: offensive difference with Jaden Craig and Hoover. I think Hoover
18:55
Speaker 3: is a major upgrade. Not an upgrade over Mendoza. I
18:58
Speaker 3: think he is not going to be much of a
19:01
Speaker 3: drop-off in terms of they're winning.
19:04
Speaker 1: I think Hoover will be fine. The receivers are good.
19:06
Speaker 3: I am now a complete buyer in of Indiana, Indiana,
19:09
Speaker 3: Notre Dame title game, but Notre Dame does win it all.
19:11
Speaker 1: Golden bone, baby. Golden bone has.
19:14
Speaker 3: Showed up because Hoover has been sort of, Oh, he's
19:17
Speaker 3: got to replace Mendoza.
19:18
Speaker 1: I think it'll be all right. They won with Rourke
19:20
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. They'll win. They'll win. That's
19:22
Speaker 1: what I've been saying all off season. I've been saying
19:24
Speaker 1: Hoover to me is better than Curtis Rourke. Um, Hoover also,
19:29
Speaker 1: I make this point too. What did you think of
19:31
Speaker 1: Mendoza last year? When he went there and started in Indiana.
19:35
Speaker 3: He was a guy we said, oh, well, he comes
19:37
Speaker 3: from Cal.
19:38
Speaker 1: He might be pretty good for them. We'll see. And
19:40
Speaker 1: what do you think about Hoover now? He might be
19:42
Speaker 1: pretty good for them. We'll see. But Hoover's done more
19:45
Speaker 1: pre-Indiana than Mendoza did.
19:47
Speaker 5: Yes.
19:48
Speaker 1: Signetti is the absolute. heat, man. I will tell you
19:53
Speaker 1: right now, I've got Indiana as one of my final
19:55
Speaker 1: four playoff teams, too. I think they're being completely undervalued.
19:58
Speaker 1: And he sees where they're ranked, and he knows he's
20:01
Speaker 1: going to use it. He's going to have those guys
20:03
Speaker 1: playing with an edge. I think people are doubting them.
20:06
Speaker 1: And I say, doubt them at your own peril. Like
20:08
Speaker 1: we got a texter on the text line saying the
20:10
Speaker 1: run for Indiana is over. They will not be a
20:14
Speaker 1: factor in the big 10. And that's crazy talk to
20:17
Speaker 1: me because their roster is really good. And if they
20:20
Speaker 1: win the court cases, bone, they have a couple of
20:21
Speaker 1: fifth year guys, by the way, that are, that, that
20:25
Speaker 1: will be eligible on that defensive line. The wide receivers
20:27
Speaker 1: are going to be ridiculous. They've got maybe the best
20:30
Speaker 1: left tackle in college football too. First team All-American. So
20:34
Speaker 1: I think they're loaded. So I've got Indiana in my
20:36
Speaker 1: Final Four. I trust them more than Ohio State this year.
20:38
Speaker 1: I've got two Big Ten teams in my Final Four.
20:41
Speaker 1: I've got Oregon in my Final Four. I thought about that.
20:43
Speaker 1: I think Oregon might be the most talented team in
20:45
Speaker 1: the dang country. They are absolutely loaded. I think it'd
20:48
Speaker 1: be a huge year for them. Then I've got Miami
20:51
Speaker 1: and Notre Dame. I've been hyping them up, as have you, Bone,
20:56
Speaker 1: all offseason. I can't wait to see them play on
20:58
Speaker 1: November 7th, but I think Miami and Notre Dame are
21:01
Speaker 1: going to be in the Final Four as well. So
21:03
Speaker 1: you have Miami, Notre Dame, Oregon, and who's the other
21:05
Speaker 1: one you had? Indiana. So you have no SEC in
21:07
Speaker 1: the Final Four. No SEC again. No SEC in the
21:10
Speaker 1: Final Four. I don't think they are doing well in
21:13
Speaker 1: the playoff. That's just it. I don't think when a
21:16
Speaker 1: push comes to shove in playoff time, I don't think
21:18
Speaker 1: they do well. And I don't think it's 100% because
21:21
Speaker 1: the gauntlet. You know, the gauntlet we got to play
21:24
Speaker 1: and it wears us down. I don't believe all that.
21:27
Speaker 1: I've got Oregon winning the national title over Notre Dame.
21:30
Speaker 1: How about that? You look at Oregon's skill position. I
21:34
Speaker 1: debated the Oregon-Georgia.
21:35
Speaker 3: Spot, to be honest. I kind of debated back and forth.
21:38
Speaker 3: Dante Moore, quarterback. Dakarian Moore. A steward at receiver, Johnson
21:44
Speaker 3: at tight end. People are going to forget about Sadiq.
21:45
Speaker 3: I'm telling you, Johnson's amazing at tight end. Their front
21:48
Speaker 3: seven is one of the best in the country as well.
21:51
Speaker 2: I love Johnson.
21:52
Speaker 1: I'm going to take a shot. I think it's Oregon time.
21:55
Speaker 1: And I think Ohio State is overrated at number one.
21:57
Speaker 1: Their schedule that they play is tough. And I'm telling you,
22:00
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, I don't believe Julian is up to
22:04
Speaker 1: the task. When it comes to the best defenses, look
22:08
Speaker 1: at how he played bone against the top teams, top
22:10
Speaker 1: defenses on their schedule last year. When they played Miami,
22:13
Speaker 1: when they played Indiana. I think Julian Sagan's overhyped, man.
22:16
Speaker 1: And I know he's got Jeremiah Smith and a ton
22:18
Speaker 1: of talent with him. But I am calling you out,
22:21
Speaker 1: Buckeye fans. I think you are the third best team
22:23
Speaker 1: in the damn Big Ten this year. I'm feeling what
22:25
Speaker 1: you're saying. You like it? Yeah. You like it? All right.
22:29
Speaker 1: Ohio State to me. I see what you did there.
22:31
Speaker 1: I don't know if Ohio State. donuts on the ground.
22:33
Speaker 1: Ohio State is up. I'm going to eat it anyway, y'all.
22:35
Speaker 1: Are we doing that? I'm eating this Krispy Kreme. It's
22:38
Speaker 1: only down there about five seconds. Five second rule on that.
22:40
Speaker 1: Take a big bite out of that. Go ahead. Five
22:41
Speaker 1: second rule. A little bite of that. I only got
22:43
Speaker 1: one bite left and that's my second donut.
22:46
Speaker 6: Oh, go ahead.
22:46
Speaker 1: Go ahead. No, no, no, no, no. You're asking me
22:47
Speaker 1: a question. Go ahead. Go ahead. Well, we got time.
22:49
Speaker 1: We got time. What are we going to do? Heisman
22:51
Speaker 1: Trophy might be next on your list of questions, right?
22:54
Speaker 1: That's going to be the final question. Then we're going
22:56
Speaker 1: to go to the text. Then we're going to go
22:58
Speaker 1: to any other predictions you want to throw in there. Finney,
23:01
Speaker 1: who's your final four and your national champion? Who you got?
23:05
Speaker 2: Well, before we get there, Mac, you didn't ask me
23:07
Speaker 2: my opinion of Josh Hoover. But every time I watch him,
23:11
Speaker 2: I come away saying, damn.
23:13
Speaker 1: Ha, ha, ha. I thought you were going to say
23:17
Speaker 1: he sucks.
23:19
Speaker 5: Oh!
23:19
Speaker 1: A vacuum joke? Yeah. A Hoover Dam joke? I like it, boys.
23:23
Speaker 1: Y'all in regular season four, baby.
23:25
Speaker 2: My final four, Miami, Notre Dame, Oregon. I think Georgia
23:33
Speaker 2: breaks through. I do think Georgia does.
23:37
Speaker 1: You got Bones final four.
23:38
Speaker 2: I think they do get to the semifinal.
23:40
Speaker 1: Are you cheating off Bones paper? You're behind him right now.
23:42
Speaker 1: You don't want to do that. You don't want to
23:44
Speaker 1: do that. No one did that in high school, Bo? No, no, no.
23:47
Speaker 1: Chris Paul?
23:48
Speaker 3: You didn't give Chris Paul the answers? The teachers would say,
23:51
Speaker 3: you're allowed to look at Bones paper, and no one
23:53
Speaker 3: would take the bait off. Anyway, go ahead, Fit.
23:59
Speaker 2: I don't think we have an SEC representative in the final, though,
24:04
Speaker 2: so the drought continues. Their drought will be going on
24:07
Speaker 2: four years, nearly as long as mine. I have Notre
24:10
Speaker 2: Dame topping Miami to win the national championship.
24:14
Speaker 1: I thought about doing that title game and having the
24:16
Speaker 1: Big Ten and SEC completely out of it. I'd actually
24:19
Speaker 1: love to see that. But I went to Oregon just
24:23
Speaker 1: because of their talent. So three of the teams we
24:26
Speaker 1: agree with, right? We did this last year, and it
24:30
Speaker 1: didn't end very well. So do we all agree, Indiana, Miami,
24:34
Speaker 1: Notre Dame, all in the Final Four?
24:35
Speaker 2: No, I'm lower on Indiana than you are. I think
24:37
Speaker 2: Indiana makes the playoff, not in the Final Four.
24:39
Speaker 1: Oh, so we didn't have the same. Oh, I thought
24:40
Speaker 1: you had the same as four. Who are your four again?
24:42
Speaker 2: Name them again. Miami, Notre Dame, Oregon, Georgia.
24:45
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, okay. So you have three of Bones and
24:48
Speaker 1: three of mine. Yep. But we disagree on one of them.
24:51
Speaker 2: We'll see.
24:52
Speaker 1: Why are you down on Indiana?
24:54
Speaker 2: I think it's just... I mean, like, you're going from
24:58
Speaker 2: being the hunter to being the hunted. If they get
25:01
Speaker 2: those fifth-year guys back, Mac, I'm with you. But I
25:03
Speaker 2: do think there will be some slight regression. They still
25:06
Speaker 2: make the playoff. They still win double-digit games. I just
25:09
Speaker 2: don't think they're, like, national championship good this year.
25:13
Speaker 1: But I think they were last year.
25:14
Speaker 2: They went undefeated.
25:14
Speaker 1: Don't forget they've got Charlie Becker. That kid, him and Marsh, Marsh,
25:21
Speaker 1: the Michigan State transfer, Like, that's one of the best
25:24
Speaker 1: one-two punches at receiver in the whole country, man. This
25:27
Speaker 1: texter says, Mac Hayton on the SEC. What a shocking development.
25:33
Speaker 1: I don't think it's hate. I do take joy in
25:36
Speaker 1: y'all not playing well in the playoff. I ain't going
25:38
Speaker 1: to lie to you because you've had so much success,
25:41
Speaker 1: and I hate people that have success. Cause I don't
25:45
Speaker 1: have much of it with my teams or myself, but like,
25:48
Speaker 1: I just think the proof's been in the pudding lately.
25:51
Speaker 1: I think the sec bone lately has had the deepest conference.
25:57
Speaker 1: I think they'll have at least four in the playoff.
26:00
Speaker 1: But I think when it's come to playoff time, I
26:02
Speaker 1: think it's proven that they don't have the elite teams anymore.
26:05
Speaker 1: That there are teams from the Big Ten and last
26:09
Speaker 1: year Miami that proved to be better than the best
26:13
Speaker 1: in the SEC bone because they're not hoarding all the
26:16
Speaker 1: talent on the two deep, three deep on the roster
26:19
Speaker 1: like they did pre-NIL.
26:20
Speaker 3: Especially in the trenches. Of these teams we didn't have
26:23
Speaker 3: in the Final Four, who do you... Who do you
26:26
Speaker 3: guys think we're sleeping on of the teams we don't
26:29
Speaker 3: have going to the end there? Mack, who's a team
26:32
Speaker 3: there that's ranked that.
26:35
Speaker 1: Could jump into that spot? Oklahoma. That's a good question.
26:39
Speaker 3: What do we think about Bama this year? Are they
26:42
Speaker 3: a Final Four contender, or is that one of those
26:44
Speaker 3: ones that it's a wait-and-see situation?
26:46
Speaker 1: I know people love Keelan Russell like he is a talent,
26:49
Speaker 1: but he is a freshman. They've got to run the
26:52
Speaker 1: ball better. I heard Roman Harper on KB yesterday said
26:55
Speaker 1: that since they kept rushing stats— Per game stats, that
27:00
Speaker 1: was their worst rushing season as a team ever last year.
27:03
Speaker 1: 104 yards a game. It was pathetic. That ain't Alabama football.
27:06
Speaker 1: I just, I'm not the biggest, like, I think DeBoer's
27:09
Speaker 1: a great coach. I'm not the biggest DeBoer-Bama fit fan.
27:13
Speaker 3: Nope.
27:13
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? So I'm cold on them.
27:17
Speaker 1: I like Oklahoma a lot, Finney. Their schedule is nasty.
27:20
Speaker 1: It's crazy. But I still think they can get into
27:22
Speaker 1: the playoff.
27:23
Speaker 2: If they can run the ball and Mateer stays healthy.
27:27
Speaker 2: That might be the best defense in all of college football.
27:31
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, it is filthy.
27:33
Speaker 2: And before the injury last year, Mateer threw for 270
27:36
Speaker 2: yards in every game.
27:37
Speaker 1: That's it, dude. People are sleeping on him because he
27:39
Speaker 1: wasn't himself after the injury. That's not really who he is.
27:42
Speaker 1: It's kind of like me when I tore my ACL
27:43
Speaker 1: in Churchley. Yeah, you weren't the same after that. But
27:46
Speaker 1: people will always remember the games you had before that, Finney,
27:50
Speaker 1: and the night you tore your ACL. What did you score, 48?
27:53
Speaker 2: 35.
27:54
Speaker 1: 35.
27:55
Speaker 2: Could have had 48, though.
27:56
Speaker 1: I tried to increase it. All right, what are we
27:58
Speaker 1: doing now?
27:58
Speaker 3: A team that's interesting to me, Mac, although their schedule's
28:02
Speaker 3: tough because they have Oklahoma, Indiana, Oregon, and Ohio State.
28:07
Speaker 3: But I do wonder if Michigan's a little bit under
28:11
Speaker 3: the radar there. I think Bryce Underwood was talked about
28:13
Speaker 3: a lot last year. Probably not a lot this year,
28:17
Speaker 3: but we know Kyle Winningham, all that dude does is
28:19
Speaker 3: win football games. So I think Michigan, they're in good
28:21
Speaker 3: hands for a while. The schedule's pretty tough, but I
28:24
Speaker 3: think Michigan's going to be a lot more stable than
28:27
Speaker 3: they've been the.
28:27
Speaker 1: Last couple seasons. The question is how good of a
28:30
Speaker 1: passer is Underwood? Can he be more accurate? He's such
28:34
Speaker 1: a talent bone, but... they've got to be balanced on offense.
28:39
Speaker 1: That's the one question I would have there. That OU-Michigan
28:42
Speaker 1: game is going to be a good one in week
28:43
Speaker 1: number two. Hell yeah, it is. And you get Texas-Ohio
28:46
Speaker 1: State in week two also. Those are both going to
28:48
Speaker 1: be good. This texter says, Mac is a sorry Penn
28:51
Speaker 1: State fan, has not even mentioned. I can't mention him
28:54
Speaker 1: for the top four. What a homer pick that would be.
28:56
Speaker 1: Top four in the Big Ten, maybe. And even that,
28:59
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Even that is a question
29:02
Speaker 1: of if you go Oregon, Indiana, Ohio State like I would, Michigan,
29:06
Speaker 1: Penn state, USC, Washington. That's a hell of a battle
29:10
Speaker 1: for the four spot. But I will say this, Matt
29:13
Speaker 1: Campbell brought a bunch of dudes, including the QB from
29:16
Speaker 1: Iowa state. And the schedule is the easiest Penn state
29:19
Speaker 1: schedule bone. I've since, since they went to the big 10, like,
29:23
Speaker 1: so that's the only reason they're going to get mentioned
29:26
Speaker 1: in the playoff Heisman. What do you say about Heisman bone, man?
29:30
Speaker 3: I mean, right now, let me give you the odds
29:33
Speaker 3: of of who's at the top cj car leads arch
29:36
Speaker 3: manning is two mensis three dante more four julian say
29:42
Speaker 3: in five uh jeremiah six that right now is the
29:46
Speaker 3: uh and then hoover somehow is working his way up
29:48
Speaker 3: there i had not seen him up there mac but
29:50
Speaker 3: fanduel has josh hoover now seventh uh in the heisman
29:54
Speaker 3: odds i know it's chalk but i've said it all
29:56
Speaker 3: year it's the team he plays for it's a spotlight
30:00
Speaker 3: team they're gonna win win win win win cj car
30:03
Speaker 3: to me is my heisman trophy guy i've said it
30:05
Speaker 3: all notre dame quarterback playing for a good notre dame team.
30:07
Speaker 1: Come on i've said it all summer and by the
30:09
Speaker 1: way that's why i like this notre dame team a
30:11
Speaker 1: lot of you guys think we're overrating him he apparently
30:14
Speaker 1: absolutely tore up the manning pass academy now on a
30:17
Speaker 1: side note cj bailey apparently did too but I just
30:21
Speaker 1: think this gets special. You hear what the NFL scouts
30:23
Speaker 1: are saying about him. And Notre Dame, Bone, has not
30:26
Speaker 1: had a special passing quarterback in a long time. And
30:30
Speaker 1: I think that's going to bring a different dimension. I
30:33
Speaker 1: know they lost two backs, but Aeneas Williams is a
30:35
Speaker 1: hell of a back. You know the O-line's going to
30:37
Speaker 1: be good. The defense, second year in that system. So
30:40
Speaker 1: I think that's why I think Notre Dame's great. A
30:42
Speaker 1: lot of y'all are saying they're overrated. Also, their schedule.
30:46
Speaker 1: Someone called it a high school schedule on the text line.
30:49
Speaker 1: That schedule bone is one where I think CJ Carr
30:52
Speaker 1: can light it up. And I agree with you. I
30:55
Speaker 1: think the voters would love to hand Notre Dame's quarterback
31:01
Speaker 1: a Heisman. I think they would love it. Finney, who's
31:04
Speaker 1: your Heisman pick?
31:06
Speaker 2: CJ car.
31:07
Speaker 1: Oh my God. That's boring. You didn't say that with
31:09
Speaker 1: a lot of, uh, mental would be my alternative. Cause
31:13
Speaker 1: Mensa is going to go the bleep off. He went
31:16
Speaker 1: to bleep off at Duke. What do you think he's
31:18
Speaker 1: going to go with Malachi, Tony and that running game?
31:22
Speaker 1: I mean, so, so to me, I would go car Mensa.
31:27
Speaker 1: Would be my two. I think so, too. And Dante Moore.
31:29
Speaker 1: I don't want to sleep on Dante Moore.
31:30
Speaker 3: It's not hard to figure out quarterbacks on the best
31:33
Speaker 3: team in this day and age normally.
31:34
Speaker 1: It's pretty simple.
31:35
Speaker 3: Matt, can I read to you a random text that's
31:37
Speaker 3: not related to what we're talking about right now?
31:39
Speaker 1: But before I forget, I wanted to bring it up,
31:41
Speaker 1: and you're going to laugh at this.
31:43
Speaker 3: 704 number said today, I never realized how much when
31:46
Speaker 3: Bone speaks, he sounds like the rapper E-40 when E-40 raps.
31:52
Speaker 5: Damn.
31:53
Speaker 1: An old rapper. Look it up, kids. Bone might be E-40.
31:57
Speaker 1: Is that a compliment or an insult? Is that a
31:59
Speaker 1: good thing? At least he didn't say you sound like
32:00
Speaker 1: Lil Wayne, that weird voice. I don't know who E-40 is.
32:05
Speaker 1: Is that a cool thing, Bone, or is that not
32:06
Speaker 1: a cool thing? I don't know. Maybe the text line
32:11
Speaker 1: can tell us. Is E-40 a cool dude or not? Bro,
32:14
Speaker 1: what's up with our guy Rambling Randy? Rambling Randy is
32:17
Speaker 1: living true to his name. He's talking to KB even
32:20
Speaker 1: though KB doesn't get on the air for hours. He
32:23
Speaker 1: also then wants everybody to know he's going to our sponsor,
32:26
Speaker 1: Harris Cherokee Casino Resort for weekend fun. Week one of football.
32:30
Speaker 1: Hang out in the sports book. The casino, that could
32:33
Speaker 1: be a fun weekend. And then Boney tells us, feel
32:36
Speaker 1: free to use my picks. He's got five betting picks
32:38
Speaker 1: for us, Boney. So that's awful nice of him. He
32:41
Speaker 1: likes Clemson plus ten and a half? That's not Bailey's father,
32:44
Speaker 1: is it? I don't think so. I think it's different Randy.
32:47
Speaker 1: Arch Manning for the Heisman we're getting on the text line.
32:50
Speaker 2: Where are you on Arch entering the season?
32:53
Speaker 1: I think he's going to be good. I like the
32:54
Speaker 1: way he played the second half of the year. They've
32:56
Speaker 1: got to protect him better, though, Fit. That offensive line
32:59
Speaker 1: I still think is a question mark. They didn't protect
33:01
Speaker 1: him well last year.
33:02
Speaker 2: I want to root for the kid, but there's part
33:05
Speaker 2: of me that if he struggles– I'm not going to
33:08
Speaker 2: complain because the hype train was out of control before
33:10
Speaker 2: he played a game last year. Mac, if he comes
33:13
Speaker 2: out in a big way and is thrown for like
33:15
Speaker 2: 300 yards every week, three touchdowns, can you imagine the
33:18
Speaker 2: crap Feinbaum will be spewing on get up and first stake?
33:22
Speaker 2: I can only imagine.
33:23
Speaker 1: I think he'll be really good, but I think he
33:26
Speaker 1: will be bone. Like I could see him being like
33:29
Speaker 1: the fifth best quarterback in the country. Sixth, something like that.
33:35
Speaker 1: Like with Carr, Mensah, Moore, Chambliss.
33:39
Speaker 2: Billy Edwards Jr.
33:40
Speaker 1: I can see him be below those guys.
33:42
Speaker 2: Edwards Jr.
33:43
Speaker 1: I like that.
33:44
Speaker 2: One and a Mac.
33:45
Speaker 3: A lot of people saying E40 had a lot of
33:46
Speaker 3: swag like I do.
33:47
Speaker 1: Oh, so much aura. It's a compliment. You must have
33:49
Speaker 1: aura then, Bone. You must have it. We're going to
33:52
Speaker 1: do an update here or just go to break? Speaking
33:53
Speaker 1: of aura, get this guy in here. What you got?
33:55
Speaker 1: What you got, Fit Daddy? People call me T40. I
33:58
Speaker 1: like this.
34:02
Speaker 3: All right, guys.

35:16
Speaker 3: Guy bet on C.J. Multiple people have bet on C.J.
35:19
Speaker 3: Bailey for the Heisman. One guy says because of Max
35:22
Speaker 3: telling him.
35:23
Speaker 2: Oh!
35:24
Speaker 1: My bad. He wants a refund out of you. Oh,
35:26
Speaker 1: let me ask Mrs.
35:27
Speaker 5: Max.
35:27
Speaker 1: I'll let you know if that refund's approved.
35:29
Speaker 2: You got seven cents.
35:31
Speaker 3: When we come back, it's random crap. The story about
35:34
Speaker 3: the fake 49er player keeps getting funnier. We have an
35:38
Speaker 3: amazing story involving Lane Kiffin, Nick Saban, and sorority girls.
35:41
Speaker 1: Hopefully not all together. Sports Radio, 92.7 WFNZ.
36:00
Speaker 6: All right.
36:04
Speaker 1: Wow. That's rapper E-40.
36:07
Speaker 3: That one goes out to my texter who said I
36:10
Speaker 3: sound like E-40.
36:11
Speaker 1: How does Bone sound when he talks like that dude
36:15
Speaker 1: E-40 rapping? I've got to tell you, I am not
36:18
Speaker 1: understanding the text right now. All right. When I get
36:22
Speaker 1: compared to other.
36:24
Speaker 3: celebrities like Gilbert Gottfried or Fozzie Bear.
36:27
Speaker 1: That would work.
36:27
Speaker 3: That kind of makes a little bit of sense. That
36:30
Speaker 3: one right there, I got to tell you, I don't
36:32
Speaker 3: know what that is.
36:33
Speaker 1: I don't know why you're dropping bars, man. Oh, my God.
36:37
Speaker 1: I take it as a compliment, but I don't know
36:39
Speaker 1: if I have that in me. Now, this guy says
36:41
Speaker 1: that was not E-40. Well, y'all looked it up, didn't you?
36:46
Speaker 1: Who was that then? It says E-40, doesn't it, Finney? Yes. Yeah.
36:51
Speaker 2: Unless that was the part of the song with the feature,
36:54
Speaker 2: Keek Da Sneak.
36:56
Speaker 1: Oh, that must have been.
36:59
Speaker 2: That would be my only guess.
37:01
Speaker 1: What a white moment this is. Trying to figure out.
37:05
Speaker 3: Did you hear how Finney said that?
37:08
Speaker 1: Finney snuck up on that. That might have been the
37:10
Speaker 1: guy name. I believe he goes by King Da Sneak.
37:14
Speaker 2: That is King Da Sneak, yo.
37:16
Speaker 1: Oh, my God. How do you not know him? All right.
37:18
Speaker 1: So apparently we played the wrong rapper off that song.
37:22
Speaker 1: Holy whiteness.
37:23
Speaker 2: The song is featuring this guy. That would be my
37:25
Speaker 2: only guess if that's not E-40.
37:27
Speaker 3: Tell me when to go. He's singing the. He's singing
37:30
Speaker 3: what the song is. Let us know. Was that E-40
37:34
Speaker 3: or Keke the Sneak?
37:36
Speaker 1: 803 says that wasn't E-40 rapping. That was the guy
37:39
Speaker 1: featured on the song. That was Keke the Sneak. Yeah,
37:41
Speaker 1: Keke the Sneak. So we've established that I'm not Keke
37:44
Speaker 1: the Sneak. This dude says, I think Walker Mail, when
37:47
Speaker 1: he talks on the radio, sounds like Keke the Sneak rapping.
37:52
Speaker 1: Y'all just throwing stuff out now. All right. That was
37:55
Speaker 1: a rough moment for us. So at some point before
37:57
Speaker 1: we get out of here, we will attempt to hear
37:59
Speaker 1: E-40 rap. Yeah, breaking news. Sub at 11. I'm white.
38:05
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. Yeah, this ain't our coolest moment, but
38:08
Speaker 1: it's on brand. I feel like it's on brand for
38:10
Speaker 1: us to screw this up.
38:11
Speaker 2: Send us a song that we can play on the
38:13
Speaker 2: radio and we'll play it.
38:15
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah. Someone send one in of E-40 that we
38:18
Speaker 1: can play on the radio without getting fined by the FCC.
38:21
Speaker 1: We'll figure it out. Marquis says you guys are wild.
38:25
Speaker 1: I was just live radio whiteness. It just was. I'm sorry. Oh,
38:29
Speaker 1: Buckeye Dave.
38:29
Speaker 3: There's no way Willie P knows that either. Let me
38:32
Speaker 3: tell you about King Da.
38:33
Speaker 1: Sneak, yo! You were just a sheltered, uncultured swine. Willie P, Colored,
38:37
Speaker 1: and Mack and Bone.
38:38
Speaker 2: I mean, what is Willie?
38:39
Speaker 1: Poor Mack. Willie P thinks Blink-82's the greatest rock band ever.
38:42
Speaker 1: What the hell does he know? Is that who he's into, right, Blink?
38:45
Speaker 1: That is correct. All right, anyway.
38:47
Speaker 3: That was not Rambling Randy. That was Rocking Randy that
38:51
Speaker 3: was sending those things.
38:52
Speaker 1: Oh, no.
38:53
Speaker 3: Didn't it say Rambling? It says there's Rocking Randy right there.
38:56
Speaker 3: Rambling Randy is a different guy.
38:57
Speaker 5: Oh.
38:58
Speaker 1: That's Rocking Randy. Are you sure? Yeah, because he's still going.
39:01
Speaker 1: I thought he was Rambling, no? No, that's Rocking Randy.
39:03
Speaker 3: Oh, I didn't know Randy was Rocking. That's Rocking Randy,
39:05
Speaker 3: so apologies to Rambling Randy. you're not rocking.
39:08
Speaker 1: Randy was rambling.
39:09
Speaker 2: All right.
39:09
Speaker 1: Anyway, uh, speaking of rambling, all right, let's get to
39:12
Speaker 1: random crap, which I believe we already did when we
39:15
Speaker 1: tried to figure out who he 40 is. Uh, we
39:18
Speaker 1: have to start bone with this, uh, Cam Newton, um, story.
39:25
Speaker 1: I need more information on this. I've never heard this before.
39:28
Speaker 1: Listen to Cam Newton on the ringer tailgate college football
39:32
Speaker 1: podcast this is the one bone where he debuted his
39:35
Speaker 1: mustache we talked about yesterday listen to cam talk about
39:38
Speaker 1: why he was so motivated to win a national title
39:43
Speaker 1: uh the year he did at auburn.
39:45
Speaker 6: People don't know what went into that year. I was
39:49
Speaker 6: in search of something that I never got at the
39:52
Speaker 6: University of Florida. Urban Meyer told me I could not
39:55
Speaker 6: get a national championship ring even though I was on
39:58
Speaker 6: that team.
39:59
Speaker 2: To get a national championship.
40:01
Speaker 6: It was a vow to myself. If you didn't want
40:05
Speaker 6: to give me one, I will go get my own.
40:07
Speaker 6: I was working out. I was preparing like a man possessed.
40:12
Speaker 6: That's what was in my spirit, in my heart. So
40:17
Speaker 6: It was something beyond money that I was in pursuit of.
40:20
Speaker 6: I was sharing a locker with a person or sharing
40:23
Speaker 6: a locker room with an individual that they believed was
40:26
Speaker 6: better than me. Yes, he was great, but I didn't
40:29
Speaker 6: believe he was better than me. And if sometimes you
40:32
Speaker 6: take even the most smallest chip to put on your
40:37
Speaker 6: shoulder to make you become a better version of yourself,
40:40
Speaker 6: do it. I played behind Tebow. I did not think
40:43
Speaker 6: that Tebow was better than me. But I had to
40:45
Speaker 6: prove it. I didn't get to just say he's not
40:47
Speaker 6: better than me and then that would be the one-all be-all.
40:50
Speaker 6: It was up to me to say, hey, what are
40:51
Speaker 6: you going to do with your opportunity?
40:54
Speaker 1: So I've never heard that before. Have you heard that before?
40:57
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer told him you're not getting a national championship ring? No,
41:00
Speaker 1: I had not heard that. You think somewhere in the
41:04
Speaker 1: last 20 years we have heard that. I had not
41:06
Speaker 1: heard that. I've never heard that. I also find it
41:09
Speaker 1: to be very Cam to be fueled by that and
41:13
Speaker 1: to go out there, Bone, and put forth maybe the
41:15
Speaker 1: most individually impressive season ever for a national championship winning quarterback.
41:19
Speaker 1: I mean, he just dragged that team to a national championship.
41:22
Speaker 1: But I've never heard that before. But I hate Urban Meyer.
41:25
Speaker 1: It just gives me another reason to hate Urban Meyer.
41:27
Speaker 1: That is a crazy quarterback with how it ended up being, though.
41:30
Speaker 1: Cam and.
41:32
Speaker 3: And Tebow in the same quarterback room. When you think
41:34
Speaker 3: about the greatness that was in that one room, right?
41:36
Speaker 3: Completely different personalities and different journeys after that. But man,
41:40
Speaker 3: that is a all time QB room.
41:42
Speaker 1: I'm guessing it's because of the laptop incident that happened
41:46
Speaker 1: in November of twenty twenty eight. That was the year
41:47
Speaker 1: they won the national title. Yeah. Or 2008 that that
41:52
Speaker 1: I'm guessing that has something to do with that. But, yeah,
41:55
Speaker 1: I don't know. I guess so. Anyway, well, Cam, you
41:57
Speaker 1: went on and proved your point, Cam. There ain't no
41:59
Speaker 1: doubt about it. Michigan Vic just called us three white crew,
42:01
Speaker 1: by the way. By the way, I don't know what's
42:05
Speaker 1: going on out there.
42:06
Speaker 3: The bosses are lined up outside the door right now,
42:08
Speaker 3: so either they're laughing at us or this is.
42:11
Speaker 1: It for us. Yeah, what is going on out there, man?
42:13
Speaker 1: It's something we said. It would be the Keek the
42:16
Speaker 1: Sneak gets in it that gets us out of here.
42:18
Speaker 1: It's something we said. How about this story? Is Mac
42:22
Speaker 1: drunk this morning? No, Mac is Mac today. Yeah, this
42:24
Speaker 1: is Not drunk yet. Wait till later today. Tomorrow night, though, y'all.
42:28
Speaker 1: Tomorrow night. I've got to tell you this story. We're
42:31
Speaker 1: building up to the Nick Saban, Lane Kiffin, Alabama sorority
42:34
Speaker 1: girl story. We're building up to that. But before we
42:37
Speaker 1: get to that, I've got to give you this one.
42:39
Speaker 1: This guy, Dajon Love, we've been talking about, Bone. The
42:42
Speaker 1: guy that pretended to be a 49ers football player. and
42:46
Speaker 1: is also accused of defrauding 20-something women out of $ 1. 3 million.
42:52
Speaker 1: It keeps getting more ridiculous and hilarious with this guy.
42:56
Speaker 1: I thought the funniest thing would be this dude working
42:58
Speaker 1: out while wearing a 49er helmet on the beach. I
43:01
Speaker 1: thought that would be the most ridiculous thing. Bone, we
43:04
Speaker 1: found out yesterday he sent a DM to Cameo. And
43:10
Speaker 1: told the folks at Cameo that I am available to
43:13
Speaker 1: do Cameo videos. I have a huge fan base. I'm
43:15
Speaker 1: a great receiver on the San Francisco 49ers. And I
43:19
Speaker 1: will do videos for $ 5, 000 a piece. As if people
43:26
Speaker 1: want to pay $ 5, 000 for this fake wide receivers videos.
43:30
Speaker 1: He also boned DM Julian Edelman. And asked Julian, told
43:35
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman, I'm a wide receiver that just got released
43:39
Speaker 1: by the 49ers. I'm looking for my next shot. Can
43:43
Speaker 1: you help get me a tryout with the Patriots? And
43:46
Speaker 1: can you pay for my travel to get there? I
43:49
Speaker 1: will reimburse you once I'm on the Patriots team. Is
43:54
Speaker 1: this guy serious? This guy thinks Julian Edelman's going to
43:57
Speaker 1: fall for it? Julian Ebel just got to Google your
44:00
Speaker 1: ass and realize this guy never played. Oh, my gosh.
44:03
Speaker 1: What a fool this guy is, which makes me wonder,
44:06
Speaker 1: how did 20-something women fall for this guy's act? I
44:10
Speaker 1: have no idea. Are you kidding me?
44:13
Speaker 3: Mac, also, did you see the funny subplot with Deshaun Stribling,
44:17
Speaker 3: the rookie who changed his number? What did he change
44:18
Speaker 3: it to? He didn't really think it through, Mac. He
44:22
Speaker 3: changed his number to seven. after the preseason, that's the
44:25
Speaker 3: number of the jersey that Deshaun Love was using in
44:28
Speaker 3: his fake stuff. So now people are like, why would
44:30
Speaker 3: you go now be number seven when that dude was
44:33
Speaker 3: using number seven? So now Love can be like, see,
44:36
Speaker 3: here's my highlights.
44:37
Speaker 1: This is me. This is me. All right, last but
44:40
Speaker 1: not least, this book John Tolti wrote about Lane Kiffin
44:43
Speaker 1: is going to be a banger. I mean, all the
44:45
Speaker 1: stuff that we talked about in the first hour, all
44:48
Speaker 1: the rumors out there, Bone, all the stuff that he's
44:49
Speaker 1: reporting in there, and this is the most salacious by far, Bone,
44:54
Speaker 1: is that Miss Terry, Nick Saban's wife, when Lane was
44:58
Speaker 1: there as offensive coordinator at Alabama, she got word from
45:01
Speaker 1: her friends that Lane was stepping out behind his wife's back.
45:06
Speaker 1: Remember the family didn't move there initially? Wasn't living there
45:09
Speaker 1: with him? That he was stepping out and doing so
45:12
Speaker 1: with sorority girls at Alabama. He then, Nick Saban then...
45:19
Speaker 1: had to tell a staff member to talk to Lane
45:23
Speaker 1: about and keep him away from the girls that are
45:27
Speaker 1: still in college. The quote says Saban told him, just
45:30
Speaker 1: keep him away from the sorority girls. Make sure they've
45:33
Speaker 1: graduated college or are working a job. This was back
45:40
Speaker 1: in what we call the Joey Freshwater era. Remember when
45:43
Speaker 1: he'd go out to the bars and had an alias
45:44
Speaker 1: he would use? Yes. This is also when he was
45:47
Speaker 1: drinking heavily. And to his credit, he's gotten back together
45:51
Speaker 1: with his wife. He's, you know, really cut down on
45:53
Speaker 1: the drinking. But imagine Nick Saban's frustration when he has
45:57
Speaker 1: to keep the O coordinator away from sorority girls. Keep
46:01
Speaker 1: them away from those coyote girls, right?
46:04
Speaker 2: Oh, Lane.
46:04
Speaker 1: Lane got a lane bone.
46:07
Speaker 3: Also, Matt, the guy that called me E-40 has weighed in,
46:09
Speaker 3: and he sent a YouTube video that I remind him
46:12
Speaker 3: of a guy that does impressions of E-40. Okay, now
46:15
Speaker 3: we're getting more of the story here. Your aura is
46:19
Speaker 3: dropping as we speak right now. I had so much
46:21
Speaker 3: of it, too, when this whole thing started. When we
46:23
Speaker 3: come back, speaking of aura, the Heels certainly had it
46:26
Speaker 3: in Ireland in the Aer Lingus Classic. Last weekend, the
46:29
Speaker 3: voice of the Heels, Jones Angel, will join us every
46:31
Speaker 3: Thursday throughout the season, and that starts next. Jones reacts
46:35
Speaker 3: to the big Heels win on Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
