• 0:28
  Speaker 2: 92.7 WFNZ. We're a few minutes away from discussing the
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Panther fan paranoia that seems to be out there on
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: the text line this week. The feeling that, man, the
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Eagles are hurting. Everybody's mocking the way they finished the game.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Everybody's counting them out. This is a game I'm worried about.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Do you feel that way as a Carolina Panther fan?
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about that coming up here in a couple
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: of minutes. But we have... uh we have westy with
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: us now uh ladies and gentlemen on just a little
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: 15 minute delay all right and it sounds like there
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: was an alarm clock snafu for westy as he gets
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: ready for tonight's big game against columbus uh we've got
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: to talk about the rally against dallas at the bank
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: on saturday and we got to make sure westy is
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: awake and ready to play tonight ashley westwood the captain
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: of your charlotte fc squad is with us westy congratulations
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: on the comeback win man how you doing Good morning, lads.
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: Sorry, I overslept.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: That's all right. No problem.
• 1:29
  Speaker 5: Everything went well while you were gone. We had no
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: show fights or anything. We're fine.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we did get into a bit of a Donnybrook
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: on the show, but I feel like that's your doing,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: whether it's on the field or whether it's here on
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: this show by just delaying your appearance. I feel like
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: you're good at starting fights.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I can't finish them, though.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: I can't finish them.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: Oh, man.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: All right, so let's talk about the comeback. Before we
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: get into tonight's game against Columbus, let's talk about the
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: comeback against Dallas. I was absolutely ecstatic watching it, and
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: you could just kind of feel the goals coming. Once
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: y'all went down 2-0, Aloko really seemed to change the
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: game on the right wing, but y'all just were all
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: over him. I felt each time, like, I think another
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: goal's coming, and you finally got the third and pulled
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: it off. What was that like to be a part of?
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: There's no better way. I mean, obviously, it's not nice
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: being 2-0 down, but when you come back and you
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: score a last-minute winner, there's no better feeling in football.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: But I thought the first half, we actually played well.
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: We actually played well. We were unlucky to be behind. Obviously,
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: they scored one, then they scored another. But then that
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: shows the character of what we've got. We've created a brotherhood. And, yeah,
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: when you get that, it's a hard thing to stop.
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: How well, this team, as we head to the postseason, Westy,
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: how well prepared and ready for the postseason do you
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: think your squad is this year?
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you never know. You never know. But we've put ourselves, obviously,
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: we weren't happy with the start of the season. I've
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: said that many times, and the manager wasn't happy. So
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: we've come back after the World Cup break. We've been exceptional.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: I think there's only one team that's beat us, and
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: that's Chicago. They've beat us twice. But no, like you
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: said as well, you've got Rodolfo coming off the bench.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: You've got Will coming off the bench. People are now
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: coming off the bench and affecting the game. So when
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: you have that, it's a nice thing to have.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: No doubt about it. Ashley Westwood is with us. So
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: I'm assuming you are in like a hotel in Columbus?
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: We are. We are.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: I think we're three miles from the... Ohio State College.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Okay. All right.
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: Nice.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: I hate Ohio. Don't talk to those people, Westy. They're
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: not good humans. Go by there and yell something, Westy.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: I can't stand them. Man, I can't stand Ohio State.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: I'm going to go for my morning coffee and start
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: some trouble.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Oh, there you go.
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: Westy, what is the MLS cities that you've been to?
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: What's your favorite away city that you visited?
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: That's a tough one. Obviously, Nashville, you go for a
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: walk on the Friday night and you have to stay in.
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: So that's a fun to not get dragged into. But
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: I think Columbus is nice. There's no better city than Charlotte,
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: we say. It's always nice to get home.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Now you're talking. Speaking of home, did you feel at
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: home in the torrential downpour rain on Saturday night? Do
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: you love that, being from England?
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: I used to, but now I hate it. I must say,
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: it does create, when the rain's pouring, the fans are singing,
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: and obviously the score last minute winner, there's no better feeling.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: And like I said, I've said it before, the fans
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: turn out, it was Wednesday night, and yeah, it was special.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: It was special.
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: Toklamati's been red hot lately. What do you think has
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: led to the surge that he's on, and how much
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: is Maxi leading to that duo really having.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: A lot of success?
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: I think being away on international as well. He said
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: he played against Ireland, and Ireland have got a lot
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: of championship players. They're big, physical, and tough. When he
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: comes back, he goes, I realize you have to be–
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: you have to be physical and strong. And listen, Idan
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: was exceptional the other night, even when he chased back
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: and he was winning the ball back on the edge
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: of our box. And I think he deserved his two goals.
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: I know we should have had three goals, but Toph
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: took one off him. But no, he certainly deserved it.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: And hopefully now we've got a striker that's on top
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: of his game and we're going to miss Archie, but
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: Idan needs to carry the torch now.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I like what y'all have going on up front
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: with those guys, no doubt about it. We got a
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: great question about you, Westy. Not from us. You made
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: the comment. Yeah, we got to go to the listeners
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: for this. And feel free to ask Westy your question, 704-570-9610.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: 704 number says, Westy just said he doesn't finish the fights.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: I have noticed he goes out there and causes a
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: whole brouhaha. Does Westy actually ever get in fights? He
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: doesn't seem like he would be a good fighter. You
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: are from England though. Y'all fight.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: I love the scraps, but listen, my dad's always taught
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: me to, if your mates are in trouble, you have
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: to stay there. And if you get beaten, you have
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: to be with them, but you never run away from
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: a fight. But no, it's not, it's not.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: I don't like it. That's not me, mate. You know me.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: You know me. I'm a chill guy.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: You're a fun-loving dude. But you're intense on the feet.
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: When I get on the field, when I get on
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: the field, I just want to win. That's my problem.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's all business. Our show's 0-2 in fights, Westy.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Mack Walsh was that third grade? Third grade was my
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: only fight. And I got beat up by a girl
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: in summer camp once.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: I hope you remember it.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: Her name was Sarah. Gee, boy, she did the hockey-style
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: move with the shirt over the head thing.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: You never forget it.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Never forget that butt whooping from Sarah. It was on
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: the basketball court. She threw me over the chairs. Oh,
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: my God. This gets worse. Don't forget that, Westy. This
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: gets a lot worse. Westy, we were talking earlier about
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: the fact that y'all can clinch a playoff spot tonight,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: but I know that's not what is your goal, right?
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: You've got to get in a playoff, so get that
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: one secured. Then it's about seeding. Hopefully you can get–
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: I know Chicago is up there now, but hopefully– you're
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: tied with New England. Hopefully you can get a top-four
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: seed and get home advantage for a series. But in
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: my mind as a fan, like as a supporter, Westy,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: it's like– I feel like y'all have to take the
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: next step in the playoffs. Like, you have to advance
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: around at least. Is that a fair way to put
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: it or no? What do you think?
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, listen, we've not spoke about it as lads for
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: obviously the last two years. We've come up short, so
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: we're not unaware of what's going on. So I think, listen,
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: I've said we wanted to reach, we wanted to be
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: the top in the East. I think I think we are,
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: but Nashville had a great start to the season. But
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: it's all about playoffs, and I think we've, I've said
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: it many times, we've got a very well-rounded squad. And yeah,
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: I think for us to achieve something, we have to
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: go to, we have to go to the next level.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: We can't come short of the playoffs again. Last year,
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: we did what we wanted to do. We finished in
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: the top four. We got a home draw, but we
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: come up short. So this year, we want to go one, two,
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: or three better, and I've said it before, I won't
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: be happy until I bring a trophy home.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're thinking bigger than what I'm even saying. I
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: appreciate that. All right, Westy, good luck tonight. We'll be watching.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Good luck tonight in Columbus, and thanks for joining us
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: on the game day, man. We appreciate you.
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: Thank you. Sorry I was late.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: All good. All good, baby. All right, there you go.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Ashley Westwood, the captain of your Charlotte FC squad. See,
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: he seems so nice. He apologized twice for being late.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: He doesn't seem like the kind of guy that annoys
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: the crap out of the opposition every game. Been on
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: our show a million times. No yellow cards yet.
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: No, we have never had. I believe you and I
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: both had yellow cards in the last segment. Somebody wanted
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: him a red card for not being there on time.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: No, no, no.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: At the most, it would be yellow. At the most.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: And Sidney would have to tell him he's been red carded,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: and that's not going to go well. Doesn't want to
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: do that.
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: Mac, we have an update live from Joe Bruno at Wegmans.
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: Do you know what's going on now? Oh, it's Wegmans Wednesday.
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: At 9 o'clock, it opens up. Let's go Wegmans chants
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: have broken out inside now with the employees. Let's go Wegmans.
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: This is a party. They're gathered around chanting, let's go Wegmans.
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: This is a damn party. Even the workers are intense.
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: This is a big deal, man, to have a Wegmans
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: in Charlotte. We're going to have to ask Willie about this.
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: We've got kids skipping school, Perjo. We've got drones above.
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: We've got people tailgating and Miss Wegmans. has now showed
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: up Miss Wegmans is.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: A thing never I never I didn't know they had
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: their own beauty queen well this must be a big
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: deal I we're gonna have to ask Willie what makes
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Wegmans so special I know we've heard from some of
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: like the northern transplants might be doing the chance right
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: now out there But we need to ask him, because, like,
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: how can a grocery store be this special? Like, this
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: is some ridiculous intensity for the arrival of a grocery store.
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: I mean, tailgating, chanting, there's more hype for this than
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: the Matt Ruhle era here.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: D-Rig says, what is a Wegmans? It's this grocery store
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: chain that they seem to really love in upstate New York.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: But we have not had one in this area, and
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: people are losing their minds.
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: Opens in Ballantyne today at 9 a.m., and television's Joe
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: Bruno's out there reporting live, and it's– It's been quite
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: a scene all morning out there.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: What do you think, Bowen? I do want to make
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: sure we talk a little bit of Panthers here. We're
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: going to talk about have you raised expectations in Gamecock
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Nation or Tar Heel Nation after the wins last week.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: But I want to have this conversation about the Panthers
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: and the Eagles. You saw it on the text line yesterday.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: I know I did, Bone. People that think, hey, we're
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: not good off the bye week. I think that was
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Lori that texted that. People that say, how can I
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: feel good about the Panthers this week when we haven't
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: shown we can win two games in a row? Like,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: we just don't have consistency. Somebody brought up road performance. Bone,
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: we're one in four in our last five road games
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: going back to the end of the year last year.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Somebody brought up Philly. They're going to have an edge
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: this week after the way they lost. Do you believe
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: in any of these?
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: They were also supposed to have an edge last week.
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: That is true. But they played pretty good. They came
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: very close to winning. Do you believe any of these?
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Like, do you have this paranoia like, oh, no? Yeah,
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: but I looked at it as this.
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: The fact that we're having paranoia and worrying about the
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: Eagles shows you how far the Panthers are coming along.
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: Because as I said when the show began, they were
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: six and a half point underdogs when this game was set.
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: So think about it now. Where the Eagles are, where
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: the Panthers are, especially offensively, we've come a long way, Mac,
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: where we're trying to figure out all the Eagles' problems
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: and how the Panthers get a road win here defensively.
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: Earlier this year or in the summertime, we would have said,
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: how do the Panthers perform well against Philadelphia, not just
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: beat Philadelphia? Because I had this as a loss, as
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: I think a lot of people did. This looked like
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: one of the hardest games on the schedule, and... It's
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: not going to be easy, but it's far from the
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: toughest game.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: On the schedule. I think that's what has people paranoid.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Anytime you think, oh, the Panthers are deaf, like, oh,
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: we're in a good situation. Philly is wounded just like us.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Philly has one offensive lineman that was supposed to start
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: this year. They're missing skill position guys, too, although they
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: might get Barkley and Smith back this week. We'll see
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: later today what the first injury report is. But I
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: think anytime there's a feeling like, oh, my God, we
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: really should win this, I think by Panther fans' nature bone,
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: based off historical precedent, unfortunately, I think Panther fans' minds
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: start to, a good bit of them, start to go
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: to that place. I'll break down what Philly has done
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: this year this way. They have two wins. They're over
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Washington and Tennessee, who have won one combined football game.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: So they have not beaten a team worth a crap
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: this season. And they haven't really been all that dominant
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: at all in those games either. I will throw that
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: out there.
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: The Rams performance is actually pretty good, believe it or not.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: They lost, though. They played three good football teams and
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: lost to every one of them. Now, to your point,
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: they played the Rams in Jacksonville close, right? They probably
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: should have beat Jacksonville last week. Ask Nick Sirianni about that.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: I'm sure he wouldn't get mad at you. Chicago with
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: a backup QB routed them, though. That was not a
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: good performance. But the way I look at them, Bone,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: they have beaten two atrocious football teams. Now, the thing is,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: the Panthers, do I trust them enough, Bone? that they're
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: not going to come out and play down to their opponent.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: They seem to sometimes have this trend. See the two
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: saints games last year. So I guess I understand the,
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: the paranoia. We're the better football team. I do as
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: constructed with injuries. I do believe we're the better football team.
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: Honestly, this is an earned trust game that I think
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: they can win a lot of people over. If they
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: go in there and beat Philly, they have a full
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: advantage of, rest versus where Philly was last week and
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: both mental and physical rest advantage there. A lot of
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: people might have asked, when's the last time the Panthers
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: won two in a row? It was last year. They
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: had three in a row last year, early, right? Yeah,
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: it was Cowboys-Dolphins last year when Rico went free-go there
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: for a couple games. Cowboys-Dolphins-Jets, was that in a row,
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: if I'm not mistaken? I'll have to double-check the Jets
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: part of that.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: I think it was. It was three in a row.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: Rico was going nuts, yeah. So we did. But then
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: after that, it went back to just win one, lose one,
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: win one, lose one. So, yeah, I think you bring
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: up a good point. It's an opportunity for them to
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: prove something. Johnny says Bryce Young is not the same
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: quarterback on the road. He's got something to prove. It's
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: definitely gotten better, and we do know an Atlanta bone.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: He does not struggle there. But this team, you know,
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: in general, for the longest time there, Bryce did not
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: have a win on the road. I brought it up,
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: the last five road games. They lost the last three
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: road games last season, and they're 1-1 this season. And
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: their only win is in Atlanta, which, does that even
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: count as a road game? I mean, that's Mercedes Bryce Stadium.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, when your quarterback owns the stadium, I'm not
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: sure that's a road game.
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: You know, Mac, real quick, one more update. The doors
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: are open at Wegmans and Ballantyne. People are running in.
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: They are now surrounding the Taste of Upstate New York
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: meat section. They're running to the meat section at Wegmans.
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: So this is all just a bunch of Upstate New
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: York transplants. It's Buffalo people that really don't have a
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: lot to do. Their whole week, Mac, was, all right,
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: we got the Bills on Monday night and Wegmans on
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: Wednesday morning.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: Oh, my goodness. What a week. What a damn week.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Someone's going through a table. Hopefully not Joe Bruno. Shouldn't
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: that be part of the store, though? Like, get 50%
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: off your bill if they can throw you through a
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: table right there at the checkout counter? Attention, shoppers. We're
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: now going to put some shoppers through tables. Gather around, please.
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: When we come back on the Mac and Bone radio
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: program with North Carolina... North Carolina and South Carolina scoring
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: big wins last weekend. We wonder what are the expectations
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: now for those fan bases? Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: I think South Carolina has starved.
• 16:46
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that's a good pick. I thought about
• 16:48
  Speaker 7: putting them in there. You know what the issue I
• 16:50
  Speaker 7: have almost with South Carolina? To my memory, they've never
• 16:55
  Speaker 7: been good.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: Dave, the stat? Outside of Spurrier years.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: They've played over 130 years of football. They won 10
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: games one time.
• 17:05
  Speaker 8: Yeah, and even Spurrier, they got there, but they were never, like,
• 17:08
  Speaker 8: that good. So it's like, to me, I never even
• 17:10
  Speaker 8: remember them. How do you– if you don't know what
• 17:14
  Speaker 8: steak tastes like, can you be starving for steak?
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: Like, that's kind of how I thought about it.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's brutal.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: All right. What's he talking about? Don't really know why
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: Dave Portnoy on Wake Up Barstool decided to make a run, Bone,
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: at the Gamecocks there.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: What's up with that, Bone? Finally stopped talking Michigan for
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: five minutes.
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: Well, did you see the bit they were doing? They
• 17:37
  Speaker 6: were like the most starved fan bases.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: In the sport.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they were ranking the top five. The other guy
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: had Michigan State.
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: I don't know the other one that was ranking, but
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: his number five was Michigan State. And then Dave started
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: his with... Or the other guy started his with South Carolina.
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: Hey, Dave, you should remember South Carolina well when Jadavion
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: Clowney knocked your players' head off.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: It's true.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: You have that one on him. There's no doubt about it.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Has Michigan State, like, Spurrier, what was it?
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: Well, that's just because Portnoy hates Michigan State. Spurrier had
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: three elite years, right?
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Has Michigan State had three years that good? And they
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: didn't make a playoff. Okay, so they've had that year.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Then they had the year with the guy that got fired.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Who am I talking to? Who am I thinking of?
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: Mark D'Antoni. No, the guy, who's the guy that got
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: himself in trouble and got canned?
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: Oh, recently, yeah. Couldn't, they had just, it was one
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: isolated good year. The Mark D'Antoni years were very good, though.
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: They had multiple 10-win seasons in a row, did they not?
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: I don't know, man. It's Michigan State. I don't know.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: Maybe I view them the same way. Portnoy views South Carolina.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: They won 13 in 2013, 11 in 2014, and 12
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: in 2015. Okay, well, there's my answer. And then 10
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: after that. So, yeah, Mark D'Antonio had a run there.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Mel Tucker, by the way, is the other guy. Mel
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: Tucker is the guy I was talking about. You just
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: proved they're better than you. And way to look it up, Bo.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: That was an honest thing by you. You just proved
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: that they've had more stake than you have.
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: Mark D'Antoni Mack went 11 wins, 11 wins, 13, 11, 12, 10,
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: and 11.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Oh, that blows. Oh, my God.
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: That like, yeah, that really. They had a nice stand.
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: And I'm being, I'm hand up. They had a run there.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: That's, yeah, that blows away South Carolina. All right, I
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: stand corrected. I stand, I try to stand up for y'all, Bo. Now,
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: they didn't do it in the SEC. I'll throw that
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: one in to help you out. They didn't do it
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: in the SEC.
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: I don't really know why Dave Portnoy cares about South
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: Carolina all of a sudden, but here we sit.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: All right, let's get into what we care about, which
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: is the fact that South Carolina and UNC had these
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: big upset wins over the weekend. And I want to know,
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: have y'all altered your expectations in either of these fan bases?
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: Do you now view the win possibilities and and you
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: know um what you expect out of this season differently
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: i've got you and fitty here to ask the question
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: too i certainly want the texters to get involved here
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: gamecock fans and tarheel fans what do you think bone
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: like did you watch let's be honest let's call it
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: what it is in fairness to south carolina They are
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: a two-point conversion by Kentucky away from beating back-to-back ranked teams. Yeah,
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: and they had Mississippi State down early also. That one,
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: they kind of zoomed on past you, so I wouldn't
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: count that one as well.
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: Well, I mean, they played well in the four. They
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: had a 17-point. They blew leads is what I'm saying here.
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: We know you can play a good first half. They
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: have six games remaining. They're 3-3. I think they can
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: get to eight wins. Obviously, Georgia's on there. I'm not
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: going to sit here and tell you they're beating Georgia,
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: but they can beat Tennessee. If Sellers is playing this well,
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: as he has the last couple weeks, they can beat Tennessee.
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: They can beat Oklahoma. They played Oklahoma well, by the way,
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: although last year was tough. But last time they were there,
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: they played them well. A & M in Columbia, A &
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: M is bad. Arkansas is bad. Georgia's a loss, and
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: I think they'll beat Clemson. If Sellers is playing this well,
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: they can win five of their last six and win
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: eight games this year.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: So you have completely changed your expectations. I never gave up.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: I just motivated. Because if I were to ask you
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: last week how many games you thought they were going
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: to win.
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: Sellers playing at a high level completely changes the outlook.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: I agree with you, and I think we have to
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: be fair to him. I think it's a two game.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: I think ever since Beamer challenged him post-Alabama to be better,
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: right in front of his teammates, I believe he has
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: been that dude. You know what? Stewart's also motivated now, too.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: He's ticked off. Yeah, I think he realizes, holy crap,
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: the cheddar's flying out the window here in the NFL draft.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: If I don't ball. Exactly.
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: And Nick Harbour, I'm not going to say you can
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: count on him. They could run the pill, man.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: 100%. The offensive line, way better than last year.
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: I will say this. This is one of my great
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: coaching jobs I've done, by the way, and my motivating
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: of them. What a job I've done here. Are you
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: T-Bone from Spartanburg? I mean, you try to get your
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: Tyler from Spartanburg on, I guess. Here's the thing with
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: South Carolina.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: You can see that offense, when Sellers plays like that,
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: is a juggernaut because their running attack has been one
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: of the best in the SEC. The offensive lines play better.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: The receiver's bone, still a little sometimey for me at receiver,
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: but I like Bennett. Harbour's the one where it's like
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: he's an X factor. If he could play like that
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: every week, but I certainly wouldn't bet on that happening
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: every week.
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: And Sellers have some chemistry issues this year, by the way.
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: They have not been on the same page. They've had
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: arguments on the sidelines. They have not been getting along
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: too well over there on the sidelines. They hooked up
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: on a touchdown. And to me, that was Sellers' leadership.
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: Sellers went to him and gave him the business verbally.
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: And that's what led to that situation on the sideline.
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: And what happened later.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: In the game? Lenores hits him for a beautiful touchdown pass.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: And those two guys are best buds again. That's leadership, man.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: Like quarterbacks. I'm sorry. We watched Tom Brady and Peyton, man.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: You got to yell at your dude sometimes. So I like,
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: I look, we'd look at that as a Gamecock fan
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: as a good thing. Now to your point bone of
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: who they can beat. And I'm curious Gamecock fans, are
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: you guys as optimistic as bone? Cause y'all were down
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: in the dumps previously. Are you now thinking like, You
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: can win eight games a season. The thing I would
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: like about Tennessee and Oklahoma obviously is there's not a
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: lot of offense there.
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: Now they're both really good defensive teams. So maybe they
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: can pull you into kind of an ugly game, but like,
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: I don't think, I think you're going to be in
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: those games. You know, against those teams. A & M,
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: I think, can we all say now they're no good
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: and Marcel Reed is no good this year? They're bad, bad.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: At LSU, I wouldn't pick you, but... We don't play LSU. Oh,
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: I'm on the Alabama schedule. All right, let's continue here. Tennessee, Oklahoma,
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: A & M, Arkansas. I was right. I was right
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: there for a second. Arkansas, obviously you can win that game. Georgia,
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: you ain't winning. But yeah, there's chances. There are chances there.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: I think there's chances for a bowl game for y'all.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: The concern that you would have as a Gamecock fan
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: would be... The old banana peel situation. The old you're
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: getting fooled, right? The old banana in the tailpipe thing.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Could they beat Tennessee, Mac, and Oklahoma?
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: But don't have a situation where all of a sudden
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: you have some terrible loss to Arkansas or A &
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: M on the way, too. You got to stay focused
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: every game here. When you are the Gamecocks, you can
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: have these big wins, but I think they're going to
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: be all right the rest of the way. But that
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: doesn't mean that I'm also not fearful of– A road
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: swap up in Arkansas where all of a sudden Arkansas
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: has their biggest one of the year or whatever. Every
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: game is a little nerve-wracking here.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: This texter says, eight wins would be a failure for
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: what we spend and the talent we had. That is
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: cocky panther. Brian says, I'm with Bone. You can see it.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: Sellers playing at this level. Dare I say this offense
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: is great. Yeah, I think Kendall Brow's been good. All
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: the O-line transfers have been good. Run game, totally different
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: than last year. This dude says, did Bone forget they
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: play in the SEC? He's on here acting like Tennessee
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: and Oklahoma are chopped liver.
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: I don't think Tennessee is that great at all. They
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: got quarterback questions. I think Tennessee is going to come
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: in limping because I think they're going to get it
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: handed to them by a grumpy Bama team this weekend.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: I didn't fear Tennessee.
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: In the offseason, and I don't fear Tennessee's offense here
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: during the season.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: I don't think you should fear them. I don't think
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: you should count it as a lock win. I don't
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: know if you should go three scores galore. Defensively, they're
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: damn good. Their run game with Bishop is pretty damn good.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: But the quarterback position is obviously the thing You know
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: what I mean? That's weak for them. I want to
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: switch it over to 50 side of things with UNC.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: I don't want to neglect our Tar Heel Mac and
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: bone folks out there. If you're a Tar Heel fan,
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: did the win against Pittsburgh change your expectations? And if so,
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: what are they now? Fitty to me, South Carolina has
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: a level of explosiveness on offense that y'all don't have.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: To me, the games you can win are the games
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: you have won. Like, when you can get a team
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: in a game like the TCU game and the Pitt game,
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: you can come away. If you have to score 30,
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: I'd worry for you. What do you think? Have you
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: changed your expectations or no?
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: Am I being pessimistic, Mac, if I tell you I
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: got to see what they do this Saturday before I
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: get there? Because... If Mason Heinshaw is healthy, they don't
• 26:32
  Speaker 6: beat Pittsburgh. That's just my gut feeling. As a Carolina
• 26:36
  Speaker 6: football fan, I don't think they slow down that offense
• 26:38
  Speaker 6: enough to win that football game. And I know we
• 26:41
  Speaker 6: can't score enough to win that game.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: What I look at is this.
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: There are two games I'll see on our schedule where
• 26:48
  Speaker 6: I expect to win. I expect to beat Syracuse at home,
• 26:52
  Speaker 6: night game, by the way, at Kenan Stadium, and I
• 26:54
  Speaker 6: expect to win at UConn. That gets you to five.
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: I don't expect to win... The Miami game. And I
• 27:02
  Speaker 6: don't expect to win the game against Louisville. Although, Louisville,
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: they were down 14 to Florida State before they came
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: back and blew them out.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: So what do you do against Duke? What do you
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: do against NC State?
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: I think ultimately determines how we feel about this season.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: So you're still saying you get to a bowl.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: If you get to a bowl, you consider that a
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: good season.
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: The thing that changes for me is that if they
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: win this Saturday, now you get to 4-2. Not only
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: is a bowl game, I think, on the table. a
• 27:32
  Speaker 6: winning season. I could see them going seven and six.
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: And I think that would be a massive thing for
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: Bill Belichick in the program to sell after the four
• 27:42
  Speaker 6: and eight year one and all the train wreck stuff.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: Off the field.
• 27:46
  Speaker 6: You come back, you bounce back with a bowl appearance
• 27:48
  Speaker 6: and a winning year. and you've been preaching 2027 as
• 27:52
  Speaker 6: your year where you think you're going to be able
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: to compete, then there'll be a lot more buzz around
• 27:56
  Speaker 6: the team and the program heading into next year than
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: there was this year.
• 27:59
  Speaker 5: There's a lot of big wins possible on the docket.
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: You went through them there, but you've got your rival
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: this week. You've played Miami well historically. Probably not a win,
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: but can you play them well, Finney? Down the line,
• 28:14
  Speaker 5: you've got Louisville, Virginia State, Louisville and State at home.
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: There's opportunities there for big wins that maybe you didn't
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: see when the year began there.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: You think the— I could see Louisville with their explosive
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: ability on offense.
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: I'm saying there's opportunities for them to have big potential
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: wins there if they play well enough. I'm not saying
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: it's guaranteed, but there's games on the schedule here that
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: could be big wins for the Heels.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: I think Louisville's so explosive on offense, I don't know
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: if the Heels can keep up. I do feel like
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: Duke-UNC will be close. And what's State like mentally by
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: the end of the year also? I know this.
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: When they see Baby Blue, I know where they're at mentally.
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: I know, but right now I feel like they're in
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: a different mindset. Like, Doran could be on the way
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: out here. I don't know. I don't know about that.
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: We have seen that movie before, Bone. This time of year,
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: I feel like every year we think Doran's on his
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: way out and then he rallies a troop.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I tried to instill some hope in a
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: fan base.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: I apologize for that.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: Boat on here stumping for UNC. That's so sweet.
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: I said that there's games on there of a big
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: variety that would be huge if they get them. Even
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: playing well against Miami would be big for the program.
• 29:25
  Speaker 6: The biggest thing they have to avoid, Mac, is we
• 29:28
  Speaker 6: cannot look back at this season and ask ourselves what
• 29:31
  Speaker 6: if with that Clemson game. That's the biggest thing you
• 29:34
  Speaker 6: have to avoid. They were up 17 to three and
• 29:37
  Speaker 6: they had them on the ropes before Tate Reynolds and
• 29:42
  Speaker 6: God brought the Tigers back in the second half.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: That's what, that's what we have to avoid.
• 29:48
  Speaker 6: And right now after the win against Pittsburgh, that's back
• 29:51
  Speaker 6: on the table because now you're, you're three and two
• 29:54
  Speaker 6: with a chance to get to four and two, a
• 29:56
  Speaker 6: chance to get to a two and one in conference play.
• 30:00
  Speaker 6: Right now, everything is still in front of them because
• 30:01
  Speaker 6: they just have the one conference loss.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: Let me read some text here. Nick says, just making
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: a bowl game doesn't mean anything anymore. Picante said, Fitty
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: said it perfectly, so he liked what you said.
• 30:11
  Speaker 6: Thank you, Picante.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: 704 number says, I am literally dying over this Tar
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: Heel stuff. They beat a team with a crappy backup
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: quarterback in an ugly-ass football game. Can y'all find enough
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: games of backup quarterbacks to get to six wins? Yeah,
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: but I'll defend UNC for once. Pittsburgh's defense was still
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: healthy in there, and they won the game. So, yeah,
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: it made a difference, no doubt. But I don't think
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: at this point, if you're a UNC fan, you care who's...
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: You need wins. Belichick needs wins, and they got one. Also, yeah.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: It's improvement. It shows improvement. But I also think there's
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: a ceiling, Fitty. Like I said before, if somebody's scoring 30,
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: I don't see you having a chance to match them.
• 30:50
  Speaker 6: And I haven't argued with that all year. And also,
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: does going to a bowl game matter? No, in the
• 30:55
  Speaker 6: grand scheme of things, it doesn't.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: It's progress, though. You know what it gets you? 12
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: to 15 extra practices.
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: Which gets you even further ahead of schedule for next
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: season with your roster that you're still trying to develop.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: Definitely.
• 31:07
  Speaker 6: So that's the importance there. I could give a damn
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: if they go to a bowl game if they're asking.
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: I don't care about that. I care about those practices.
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: Unlike Allen Iverson, I care about practice. In this era,
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: so many players leave.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: It has changed a little, but yeah, the way they
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: want to build it with young guys that they're hoping
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: to keep around, I think that's a benefit still for them.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: And it's just progress. Like last year, they have shown
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: progress on a few. You cannot deny, Bone, they are
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: more competitive. I think they have a ceiling where if
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: they yield, you know, 30 points to a team, I
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: don't think they're winning that sort of game. But I
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: do think they have a few games on their schedule,
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: including Duke, where, like, I could see Duke be 23-20
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: or something. And that's the sort of game I think
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: they can be in. It's the kind of games they
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: often play against one another. They were.
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: They were beating Duke last year, and then they collapsed
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: in the second half. When we come back, random crap.
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: Jerry Jones tells an all-time weird story that people think
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: he made up. Why are the Swifties mad at Travis Kelsey?
• 32:06
  Speaker 5: And Tom Cruise wants to actually race a stock car.
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: All that and more. Sports Radio 92.7. Random crap.
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: Random crap. Mac and Bone talk random crap. Random crap.
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: Random crap. Mac and Bone talk random crap. Random, random crap.
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: Random crap. Random crap.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: What the deuce?
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, crap.
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: Oh, crap.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: We stink like a baby's blowout infested diaper.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: They talk about crap that is random.
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: It's the Queen City's favorite born in tandem.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: Mac and Bone. Random crap.
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: Mac and Bone.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: It is random crap time, ladies and gentlemen. Let's enjoy ourselves.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: Let's hit you with some fun stories, shall we? Including
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: Jerry Jones telling a weird story yesterday on with Shan
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: and RJ down there in Dallas on the fan. He
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: makes his weekly appearance, was asked about memories in Green Bay,
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: thought he might talk about somebody making a play on
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: the field for the boys. Nope, this is the story
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: he told.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: One of my greatest memories, and this is not the
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: area you're talking about, was after the game against Green
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: Bay maybe 25 years ago. All of my grandchildren were
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: very small, four or five years old. And I had
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: a car full of them. We'd been up to watch
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: Green Bay and Green Bay. It was so cold. And
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: as we left the stadium, we won. As we left
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: the stadium, we were in a long, big car. And
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: I saw this lady headed toward the car. And she
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: comes up beside the car running. She's so upset as
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: a Green Bay fan. And she was pretty hefty. And
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: she turns around and pulls it all down and just
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: plants it right up against the window. And everybody inside
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: was in awe and couldn't believe it. And then her
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: skin stuck to the window. It was so cold. And
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: when she pulled away, there was just a big print
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: sitting there on.
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: The side of the car.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: My word. There were about 10 or 11 of us
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: in the car, and we can still see it today.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: So there you go, Bone. That's his favorite Green Bay
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: memory somehow.
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: She just showed you what your franchise has been for
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: the last 30 years.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: Now, Bone, there's a problem with this story.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Go ahead.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: The internet started it. Dallas Cowboys, Jerry Jones, tell me
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: what's wrong with the story. The internet started internetting. And
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: people started trying to figure out what year, when did
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: this happen? And people now, I mean, there are blogs
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: that are giving you all the details of why they
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: think Jerry Jones made up this story. They only won
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: three times in Green Bay. And two of them were
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: days where the temperatures were in the 60s. So it
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: wasn't a cold day where them big old cheekers would
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: stick to the car window. Man, people are really taking
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: this serious. 1991, Bone, it was 44 degrees, so he
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: could think that's cold, right? But his grandkids weren't born then.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: In 1991. So people are out there calling Jerry Jones
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: a bald-faced liar, saying he made up a story.
• 35:22
  Speaker 5: He also was in a car, but was that, if
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: it's a road game, that wasn't really his car, so why?
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: Then he said they still, when he said they still
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: see it, did he mean they still see the image,
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: the vision of the cheating? I didn't think they just
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: see the vision. He also called her, he also called
• 35:39
  Speaker 5: her hefty. Hey, the hefty woman, he had to make
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: sure he knew that. So I don't know, Jerry, did
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: you tell this, did you lie? Did you make it up?
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: That's a hell of a story to make. It feels like,
• 35:49
  Speaker 5: did he conflate stories? I don't know what was going
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: on there, man. I can't imagine Jarrett. Oh, Jarrett, tell
• 35:55
  Speaker 5: a lie. I can't imagine that. They did play them in.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: Milwaukee a couple times and beat them, so did it
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: happen in Milwaukee, not Green Bay, maybe? I think that's possible. Anyway, God,
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: that story. I mean, why is that your go-to story
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: for Greenback at times? I mean, was it a different city, man?
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: Could it be a different city? I don't know. Oh, Jerry. Oh, Jerry. Bone,
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: what do you think of Wingstop coming out with a
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: new wing flavor? Sour Patch Kids, wing flavor. I know
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: you're the one that found this yesterday. There's some collabs, Bone,
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: that don't need to happen. Is this one of them?
• 36:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, there's so many collabs that happen. I don't feel
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: like wing collabs need to be one. Like whether, you know,
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: cookies and chips. All those type of collabs, especially chips.
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: That's one thing. I don't know if we need to
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: mess with wing flavors all that much.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: I think we're... Are you basic with wing flavors?
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: I'm not basic, but I don't think we need to
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: start adding sour wings and wings based off candy.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: I think the wing flavors are fine.
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: We got a lot.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: Sour Patch Kids lost me. I will say this. I
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: love at Chex the strawberry hot and the raspberry hot.
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: I've not had that. It might sound weird to people.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: But it's legit. The sweet, like it's the same with
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: hot honey, Fit. The sweet and the hot is so
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: good together. It's beautiful, man.
• 37:14
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I've never dabbled in the strawberry hot or the
• 37:16
  Speaker 6: raspberry hot.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: Isn't that good? Isn't that one of those flavors Walker's
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: go to?
• 37:19
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Walker always stamps for the strawberry hot. I would
• 37:23
  Speaker 6: just like to try the sauce for like I ordered
• 37:25
  Speaker 6: a wing and then not like it. But I'm always
• 37:29
  Speaker 6: afraid to ask the cashier, like, hey, can I taste
• 37:31
  Speaker 6: the sauce before I... Order 10 wings of the sauce.
• 37:35
  Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying?
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: Go ahead, Finny.
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: Go ahead, baby. I don't think that's how to order it.
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: Texter says that wasn't a hefty woman. That was former
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: Packer Gilbert Brown.
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: That's funny. He had some big old cheekers, didn't he?
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: That is funny right there. P-Man, where do you stand
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: on the strawberry hot, raspberry hot? Do you like that,
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: or do you think that's... You asked if Bone's food
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: tastes are basic, and I would answer that they are. Oh,
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: my God. Coming in just fine.
• 38:01
  Speaker 5: I ranked you my favorite employee today.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: Co-worker. And you treat me like this? I'm nervous who's
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: ahead of me.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: Not Mac.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: Apparently. I just think that we don't need... We have
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: a lot of wing flavor. We don't need to add.
• 38:14
  Speaker 5: We definitely don't need Sour Patch Kids. When they put
• 38:16
  Speaker 5: the candy on top, we don't need to add new ones.
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: I love Sour Patches. Love Sour Patches. Keep them out
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: of my wings, please.
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: There you go.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: I like that. I don't even like the sour lemon
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: on lemon pepper. I don't think I like the lemon
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: pepper news. I'm not a lemon pepper guy. That's the
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: one thing. But some people swear by them. Lemon Pepper
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: Nation don't get angry right now. I'm not a sour guy. Candies.
• 38:36
  Speaker 5: I don't need my eyes to twitch. I don't need
• 38:40
  Speaker 5: to pucker. I don't need to get Sean Payton lips
• 38:42
  Speaker 5: eating wings.
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: First lips. Sean Payton lips. Bone, how about the Tom
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: Cruise story? Steve O'Donnell from NASCAR yesterday was talking about
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: the Days of Thunder 2, the sequel that's coming out,
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: the Days of Thunder. And he told everybody, Tom Cruise legit,
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: in order to prepare for this role, legit wants to
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: drive in an ARCA race, which is like... different kind
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: of lower stock car series yeah brad keselowski tweeted out
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: one of the popcorn you know eating uh you know
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: memes i want to see this what do y'all think
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: what do y'all think about this.
• 39:16
  Speaker 5: It's not shocking the man wants to do his own
• 39:18
  Speaker 5: stunts and do all that stuff he's a guy that
• 39:20
  Speaker 5: lives on the edge so i don't doubt it i
• 39:23
  Speaker 5: have no doubts that he wants to do it he's
• 39:25
  Speaker 5: driven a helicopter What can a NASCAR car be compared
• 39:29
  Speaker 5: to that?
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: Is it wrong I want to see him get wrecked, though,
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: spun out? Nothing too bad.
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: A little bump and run, you know? Put him out
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: there with Josevar in a race. That's the most dangerous
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: stunt yet. That's the thing. You can say you want
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: to drive an ARCA car, but what if Chastain and
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: Josevar are in that race? You still that daring, Tom Cruise?
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: Oh, man.
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: So we got to tell this story. Y'all hear about
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: the Shane Gillis monologue?
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: On Saturday Night Live. Man, people got big mad at
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: that one. He was insulting what women are wearing at gyms.
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: in very insulting terms. I don't understand why we're complaining
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: about women wearing what they're wearing at gyms. I've got
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: to be honest with you. But anyway... Some say it's
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: the only reason you go to the gym. Travis Kelsey
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: liked the tweet of his monologue. The Swifties are big
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: mad at Travis Kelsey. They're on social media saying, Taylor,
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: we knew you chose the wrong guy.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, no.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: So what do y'all think about the Swifties coming after... Mr.
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: Swift here, Bo. Trouble in paradise already, huh?
• 40:34
  Speaker 5: Not only did he marry Taylor Swift, he married a
• 40:38
  Speaker 5: nation of insane protectors.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: It's true.
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: They say you aren't just marrying your wife, you're marrying
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: her family. With Taylor, you're marrying this extended, like, lunatic-based family. Now,
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: I'll say this. I think they're friends, aren't they? That's
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: the first thing I was going to say. I think
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: they have a friendship. Secondly, he might not have known Now,
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: he might have. He might not have cared. He might
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: have thought it was funny.
• 41:01
  Speaker 5: It might have been one of those things where you
• 41:02
  Speaker 5: click it and you don't read the article. Maybe he
• 41:05
  Speaker 5: didn't know the full monologue.
• 41:07
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: Or maybe he did and just thought it was funny
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: or maybe it was just buddy. I don't know.
• 41:11
  Speaker 5: Busy week for the Kelseys because they're also trying to
• 41:14
  Speaker 5: get Jason to stop saying we.
• 41:16

  Speaker 5: It's not like the original Baywatch was, like, one of
• 42:20
  Speaker 5: the greatest well-written television shows of all time, but it
• 42:22
  Speaker 5: was the most popular show in the world for a reason.
• 42:25

• 42:27
  Speaker 2: and I know there's other, you know, tremendously gorgeous women.

  Speaker 2: main character. Grown-up Hobie. Grown-up Hobie. Is like the main character.
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: He now has a family and stuff like that. But

• 42:51
  Speaker 2: motion for me. He does not have a role.
