  Speaker 5: Let's have some fun.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: I can't go to work without listening to Mac and Bone.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: Do it live. Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ. What a glorious
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: football Friday it is, baby. We got the Panthers tonight.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: They're going to wrap up this darn preseason, and we
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: got real football tomorrow, y'all. Week zero is here, and
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: Tar Heel fans are anxious to see what Belichick's second
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: squad looks like in Dublin against TCU. Pack fans are
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: cranked up for NC State and Virginia. So you know.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: We got to talk college football to a dude that
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: does it year round. It does it very well. Our
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: next guest, he and Rick Neuheisel. What a team they
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: are on full ride on college sports radio. And Chris
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: Childers joins us here to preview the season. And I
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: don't know, maybe Lane Kiffin will come up. He just
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: interviewed him. Just talk to him. Chris, what's going on, brother?
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: How are you feeling on this fine football Friday, sir?
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: I woke up extra early today just for you because
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: I'm not excited and ready to go. So I'm good, man.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: How are you?
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: We had a, we had a texter.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Welcome to you because my brain isn't working. It's like
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I'm hosting this show, but I'm doing well.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: We had a texter drinking whiskey at 6am.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: It's, it's basically like a holiday right now.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Right, Chris?
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: It's go time.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: You know what? I've got like eight bottles next to
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: me that are just kind of calling my name. This, uh,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: This Weller foolproof might sound good around 8 in the morning.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: Oh man, a lot of drinks going to be flowing
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: for a lot of fans tomorrow as we get actual
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: real football. Listen, you haven't been bashful about Bill Belichick.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: You certainly haven't been alone, Childers, in your doubts about
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: the whole operation. They have given us all reason to
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: feel like, oh my God, Carolina will be better when
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: they move on from this. When you look at this
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: football team and this matchup against TCU, like, do you
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: look at it and feel like, okay, this game will
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: be competitive? Are you afraid it gets ugly like last year?
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: What do you think about this particular game for the
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Tar Heels?
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: You know, I would love to be able to come
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: on and say, I think they're going to be two
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: touchdowns better and they've really improved and Billy Edwards is
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: going to swing it around and all this.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's the thing about college football. And I mean,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I even joked about this with Lane Kiffin yesterday. It's
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: just that like the preseason polls and predictions, we just
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: the rosters are so different. Like Billy Edwards coming in
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: North Carolina is a completely different version of North Carolina football.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Then we saw the year before TCU, their quarterbacks in Indiana.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: So it's not like they're the same. They went and
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: got a guy from Harvard of all places to come
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: and fix the offense there. So it's just until you
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: actually see a damn game, it's so hard for us
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: to figure out what's going to happen in the pregame.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Now I will say this it's, let the game play
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: out before you get all too excited. Remember the first
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: drive a year ago, when everybody, some of the freezing
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: cold tweets, skip Bayless.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: He was grounded him.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Some of the, you go back and look at him.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, they're like, he's the greatest thing ever. And
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: this guy is playing chess and The rest of them
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: are playing checkers. And I think they got beat like
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: 42 to seven or something crazy like that. They got
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: their asses whipped. If that happens again, I just think
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: his legacy is in trouble. I really do. Like, I
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: know this guy's got six Super Bowls.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: I get all of that.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: But I just think if he loses convincingly with the
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Lombardi stuff and with, I mean, I don't know if
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: you guys have any idea what's going on with his son.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: I don't. but I just think it's going to be
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: the culmination of we're a bunch of absolute turds. We
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: could have had Jeff Munkin as our football coach. This
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: could have been a completely different looking world right now,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: but instead we've got this and I'm still really curious
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: to hear if Jordan Hudson will or won't be serving
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: as interim defensive coordinator tomorrow.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: On the pack front, NC State, the hype seems to
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: have grown throughout the summer. It's a two-fold question about them.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: What do you think about the matchup tomorrow? And just season-long-wise,
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: do you think that this can finally be a team
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: that reaches that 10-win threshold that Dave Dorns never crossed before?
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: I want to be very clear that I have no
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: particular affinity for any of these schools. OK, I am
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: not from Carolina. I have no interest in the state
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: of Carolina personally. So like this is not me giving
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: any any sort of lean.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: But I love Dave Doran.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: I love NC State. I think NC State. should be really–
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: and this is me like talking to the Wolfpack fan.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: I think you should just take a moment and be
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: really appreciative of who you are and what you have.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Doran has been there now for– I want to say
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: this is his 14th year. And you've had consistency. You've had–
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: like going 7-5, 8-4– If you can get to a
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: nine win every once in a while, a 10th win,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: that's incredible success at a program that doesn't have the
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: resources that, hell, even the rivals have in Tobacco Road.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: They don't have the same sort of expectation. They're always
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: kind of looked at as, you know, little brother and brother.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: I think for Doran to have been there as long
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: as he has, to be consistent as he is, this
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: year will be interesting because the fact of the matter
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: is Hollywood Smothers got bought away. I mean, it's not
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: like NC State is one of those true haves that's
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: going to outbid teams for other players. But I think
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Doran's consistency has been incredible. I think the development of
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: actual players within the program has been great. Now, the
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: question to me is, because I think C.J. Bailey is
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: extremely talented, and Bailey has the potential to maybe be
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: as good as any quarterback in the ACC, including Kevin Jennings,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: including Darian Mensah. I think he's right there. The question
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: mark becomes, without Hollywood smothers and... many of your top
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: pass catchers from a year ago, I think the top
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: five or something crazy like that. And you've had to
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: replace that and have an off season to kind of,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: you know, get a rhythm going there. That's the only
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: question mark for me. But I think this game tomorrow
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: has playoff implications. I mean, the fact of the matter
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: is Virginia wins the ACC title game against Duke. They're in,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: and Miami never makes the playoff. I think Notre Dame
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: at that point is probably in. So I get that
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: NC State hasn't won a conference title in, like, you know,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: 5,000 years, and I get that Virginia hasn't done it
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: in 5,001 years.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: But....
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Potentially, it's time. And I think this game matters a
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: lot tomorrow.
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: Chris, I know you take this as a badge of honor.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: There's a texter that wants to, I think, fight you
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: at some point.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: It didn't take long for him to get mad at you.
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: I scrolled up, and three texts from this one was
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: a year ago when you were on where he wanted
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: to fight you also in 2025. Man!
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: So he only chimes in when you're on the radio,
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: so thank you.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: I'm not very hard to beat up. I'll just let
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: him know. I mean, I'm like 5'8, fat, slow, don't
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: have a lot of muscle.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: So, like, he could do it.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: I just don't know if he'd take a lot of
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: pride once he gets it done. But, you know.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: It's all good. Hey, he's got to get through new
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: Heisel to get to you, man.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: When I said I think Mack Brown's a better coach
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: than Bill Belichick.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you know how many times we've sat
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: here and wondered, what if you gave Mack Brown that
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: NIL money that you then all of a sudden wanted
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: to fine for Belichick? But anyway, we digress. We're talking
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: with Chris Childers. We like Chris Childers, all right? And
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: if all of you do, as long as you listen.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: As long as you're listening, that's what counts. Probably the
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: same guy that wanted to fight me at a gas
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: station like two weeks ago. That did happen. That did happen.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Not the fight.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: Bucky, Billy.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: So you did that interview with Lane Kiffin. Lord knows
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: he has even increased his villain status with this pursuit
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: of these guys in the NFL to bring them back
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: as fifth-year players. Does he deserve... is what he is
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: doing there. And he's not the only one. There are
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: other schools take a fifth year guys in and we
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: don't care near as much or pay attention to it.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: It'll be obviously decided in the courts. Does he deserve
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: to have his villain status enhanced over this? Or is
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: he just doing what, you know, the court said he
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: could do?
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: I believe he's just doing what the court said that.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: He could do.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: And they are double and tripling down because it's him.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: So here's what I think happened. The Big Ten forced
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: the hand when they decided they were going to make
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: this rule. The SEC sent their little strongly worded letter
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: the day before. And Kiffin, you know, he has three
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: players on his roster that played for NFL teams. but
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: here's the thing. I don't think this is really villain
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: status stuff. I think all he did was, Hey, there's
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: a court that said that these kids are eligible. If
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: I don't recruit them, others will. And I won and
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: I got them. And now I'm the villain because I'm
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: the one who won the street stakes there. As much
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: as I don't like Lane, and I think Lane is
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: a chotch, and I think he's extremely rough around the edges,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: I don't think he's wrong here. I think he actually,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: I don't have an issue with the pro players coming
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: back and playing because it's not really what everybody's making
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: it out to be. These kids never got that option.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: They never had the option of getting the fifth year,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: and everybody else is getting a fifth year. So in
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: our legal system, it's probably pretty cut and dry to
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: a judge that, hey, if everybody else is getting this
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: ability and you're the only one getting singled out, then
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: you get the year. And so that's all this is.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, really, all this is, is, yeah, the kid
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: signed into training camp because he didn't have the ability
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: to go to college still. But then that changed, and
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: now he wants to change his mind too. I mean,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Kiffin even brought this up yesterday with me. This is
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: going on in softball. There's a girl that signed a
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: pro contract over the summer because she didn't think there
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: was going to be the option to come back. Now
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: there is, and she wants to come back.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true. It is far from the only sport
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: it's happening in. And the SEC has already been dealt
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: a blow down there in that Dallas court. There's three
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: guys in NFL camps that have won their suit against
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: the SEC and the NCAA for this rule change. So
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: I'm kind of with you on where this is going
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: to go legally. Not that I'm a legal expert, but
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: I feel like we all have like half law degrees
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: now after all this crap.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: We've had to try to, I mean, you gotta, it's
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: weird how many courtroom decisions I've read in the last
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: couple of years.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: It's weird.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: Crazy.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: All right, brother.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: Great job. We appreciate you joining us early on a Friday.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: Keep up the good work on full ride and all
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: that you do, man. Thanks for coming on.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Thanks, guys.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Have a good week zero.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: You too, brother. There you go, Chris Childers. Joining us
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: on the Mac and Bone Show. Stirring it up. I
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: didn't think he said it like... He's gone really in
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: on Belichick. I actually thought it was... I didn't think
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: he went in as hard as usual. His job is.
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: football college passion. He's not going to come on and sugarcoat.
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: He's not going to... He's opinionated. He's not going to,
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: you know, he's going to give his opinions whether you
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: like it or not. That's why we put the guy on. Yeah,
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: he's opinionated. Not everybody's going to agree, but I think
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: that's what your job is when you're on the radio.
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: Him and New Heisler are a good team together, too.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: It's kind of like... the logical coach, and then you
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: have Childers getting after it.
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: But it is funny that the texter that was mad
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: at him, I scrolled up two texts prior. It was
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: last year. He got mad at Chris Childers in the
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: same week of the year. I would love to know.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: I'm going to have to text him back.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: 803 number. So I don't know if he's a Heels fan,
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: maybe South Carolina. I don't know. But like, why does
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: he not like, you know what I mean?
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there's something personal here going on.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: Were they fighting over the same girl when they were
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: in their 20s? I don't know, man. I need the
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: story on that. By the way, we had not mentioned this, Bone.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: I'll mention it right now real quick. How about the fact,
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: we're going to do some Panther talk coming up in
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: a few here, but how about the fact that Kim
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: Mulkey has apparently, Bone, said, hey, Lane Kiffin and Will Wade,
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: all these fifth-year players you're taking in, all the controversy
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: you're starting, you can't have all the negative press involved.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: She went out there and she had this player from
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: the Ukraine that was on the team. And she went
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: out there and brought in a Russian player at the
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: same position. And the Ukrainian girl is like, I can't
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: be on this team with her. The conflict over there
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: for my country. And the invasion from Russia, that's too much.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: I can't overlook that. So she left the school. So
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: now Kim Mulkeybone is also getting bad press for having
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: this player and bringing a Russian player in and upsetting
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: her current player and leaving her to leave the team.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: Do you think the LSU AD sleeps well at night?
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: It's unbelievable. Mulkey, Mulkey, Mulkey, Mulkey. Do they care? Do
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: the people in charge in this life, the governor, the AD,
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: do they care? I think no, man. I think all
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: they want to do is win in these sports.
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: When we come back, Jorge Andres, our friend from within
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: the building for WBTV, joins us. He's got a sports background,
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: loves talking Panthers and all things local. He's going to
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: give his insight on what's good about this team going
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: forward this season.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: What are the negatives?
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: Jorge next in studio, Sports Radio 92.7.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ Mack and Bone hanging out with you.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: It's a football Friday. There's real football tomorrow. Starting with
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: the Heels and TCU in Dublin. Heels fans right now
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: not happy with Chris Childers. He's far from the only guy.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: I mean, like, the burden is on Bill Belichick, Bone,
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: and the Tar Heel football program to prove that they
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: are competent. Listen, as the game went on, as the
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: season went on last year, they started to be more competitive.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: They started to show more competence. Can we get a
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: game like that tomorrow against TCU? A game where the
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: defense keeps them in it? I love Bobby Petrino. I
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: think Billy Edwards is solid. I liked him on June.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: They got Hall, the big bruiser at running back. Jordan
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: Shipp's a good piece. The tight end, Thurman, is really...
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: There's some pieces there, but it's like the burden of
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: proof bone is on. Tar Heel fans, you can't get
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: mad at us in the media. They've been a bleep show, man.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: The burden of proof is on the heels to show
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: us that they're functional.
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: I forgot, Mac, how funny the Skip Bayless saga was
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: during the game last year when TCU went up 7-0.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: This was the exact tweet from Bayless. Yeah, heels up 7-0.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Whoa!
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: Belichick has a national title offense. The heels just shredded
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: the Frogs defense. TCU is getting run off the field.
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: TCU then scored 48 unanswered points back.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: This was Bayless' next tweet.
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: After a great opening and offensive series, opening offensive and
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: defensive series, is it possible that the Frogs have exposed
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: Bill Belichick?
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: Oh, my God. It took two and a half hours
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: for that dramatic of a tweet change. The thing about Bayless, too,
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: is most of us, Bone, if we tweeted something that
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: just got proved, to be so wrong and so laughable.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: Most of us would address it. We'd have fun with our, with,
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: with ourselves. You know what I mean? Like, like, like
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: Lord knows we have with all my bad predictions and
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: draft analysis, not one cam and Luke and all that.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: He never does that. He just moves on bone to
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: the next hot take. Like he doesn't even acknowledge how
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: pathetic his take was.
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: He, he has a, a very much a David Newton,
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: like a bill, to just ignore whatever he just did.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: Blocks it all out. It blocks it all. By the way,
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: we're waiting for Jorge Andres to come in here.
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: This is quite a guest-plugging situation here. I usually would
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: not sit up by someone that I believe is in
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: the building somewhere. I think he's in the building somewhere.
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: Usually they just don't answer their phone. Yeah, usually they
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: ignore Fiddy on the phone call. Go get him, Fit Dog.
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: Go get him, baby. You seem to be a little
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: savage today, taking out Maumau earlier.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: Fiddy, go to the front desk and call for Jorge Andres.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: I want to shout out WBTV Bone. They were out
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: at our local high school today. They do Friday morning football.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: You know, shows from the campuses. They were at Sun Valley.
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: My son was very bitter, but the athletes were told
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: to be up of all sports, not just football, to
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: be there at 530 this morning. He was very bitter.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: He tried to text me this morning and say, Dad,
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: I don't think I'm going to go. I said, you go.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: So you're he said coach didn't say we had to.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: He said he wanted us there.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: If a coach says he wants you to do something,
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: you do it. So he's so bitter at me, but
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: it was great publicity for Sun Valley.
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: He might watch you on the bench forever if you
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: don't show up there. How is the season going so
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: far for A & M Soccer? They're playing pretty good.
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: They're playing pretty good. They're having a pretty good season.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: We'll see when they start. When they start playing Weddington
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: and Cuthbertson and Marvin, things could get.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: A little different.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: We are really in stall mode right now.
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: When Bone's through more of the team or are you
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: running the clock?
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: Definitely the team. Team's way better. Yeah, you know we're
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: stalling when Bone says, how's Sun Valley's soccer season going
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: over there?
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: I know it's better than their football season. 47-0 to
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: Lake Norman. Lost to Lake Norman. Skidvale's past tweets. Mac's
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: son's soccer wife. All righty then there.
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: So we just don't know where he is right now. No,
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I texted him. I haven't heard back yet. Oh,
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: you can't. Okay. All right.
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: Well, let's talk about the Panther roster amongst ourselves. All right.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: We're pros here, or at least we'll act like we're pros.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: Let's talk about this roster a little bit, Bone, because
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: last hour I wanted to talk more about roster situations
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: and questions and stuff like that and what we might
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: need to... go after once cuts are made or what
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: we might want to make a trade for on Saturday
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: before or Sunday before the cuts are due at six
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: o'clock on Sunday. Um, the obvious position is, is linebacker
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: now the obvious position bone where they have to, like,
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: if you're going to make a trade, like I've been
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: saying edge throughout camp, but honestly, uh, the depth edges
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: have shown more than Wallace and chairless. I don't feel
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: like Wallace and chairless have been terrible, but it just
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: seems very blah what we're getting from that second linebacker.
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, then eventually to help out up front, you get
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: Wharton back at some point as well, right? To at
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: least help out with the interior and the edge and
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: all that that he can do.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: So you get him back. The linebackers, Mac, if this
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: is the group, we're going to be... We're going to
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: be stressed all year.
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: And also, I'm not overly worried about it, but Devin
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: Lloyd has also been injured here a little bit during camp.
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: And he might be, with Derrick Brown, the most indispensable
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: guys on the team based off the position and the
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: guys behind him. So, God forbid Devin Lloyd has to
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: miss even like a game or two. We're in deep, deep,
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: deep trouble. We just need more trustworthy bodies. I trust
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: Wallace and Cherlis in limited backup roles. I still want
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: them on the team. But, man, they need more dependability
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: there next to Devin Lloyd.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it's just, I don't know. I'm starting
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: to wonder if Wallace is going in the Sanders bucket. Now, Sanders,
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: I've got to be honest with you, if I'm calling
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: the shots, I'm cutting him. I'm trying to trade him,
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: and maybe they are trying that. There's been some talk,
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: or I'm cutting him. Wallace, I don't know. I don't
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: think we're strong enough at the linebacker position where I
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: feel like we should cut him, like where he can't
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: make the team and shouldn't make the team. Even if
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: they keep Sanders. But both these guys, Bone, I had
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: real hopes for based off their profiles out of the draft.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: And both these guys in their third year have been disappointing.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: They have been.
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: Even if Sanders was kept on the 53. Are they
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: going to keep four tight ends active on game days,
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: or is Sanders going to end up back on the
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: old countdown to kickoff inactive announcement you guys make? Is
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: he going to just not even be active for some
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: games because they're going to roll with Tremble, Waller, and Evans?
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: Are they going to keep four tight ends active? I
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: think Franks is definitely active. That's true, too. Yeah, that's true.
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: He wasn't on my depth chart there on the tight end,
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: but yeah, you're right.
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: If Felipe Franks ain't on this team and ain't active
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: going down there and wrecking shop on kicks and punts, I,
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: that's not a world I want to live in. They're
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: not keeping five active tight ends. So someone said now games.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, I listen, Darren Waller last year, what Darren
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: Waller did is better than what JT Sanders can do
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: point blank period. And Dave Canal has said, I, because
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: he's been here for such a short period of time,
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: we need to base our roster decision with him on
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: what he did last season. They saw it up close
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: and personal when Waller dominated us in part because of
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: our linebackers pre Devin Lloyd in the first half last year.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: um so i just i they're make if they i
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: just have seen enough from jt sanders dan waller's a
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: better player and if he's in better shape this year
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: bone because he's been working out all off season and
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: he's less prone to the injuries that hit him last
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: year all the more reason to keep him man all
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: the more reason.
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: Bay potato things were trying to rage bait because the
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: off the Easy answer is offensive line.
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: Offensive line, yeah, okay.
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: Guard depth might be something there, but also we have
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: to remember that we have help coming back. Much like
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: I said with Wharton to help up front, we have
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: help coming back. We just don't know when it will
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: be with Icky. And Moten and what what does that
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: do for the depth of the offensive line? So there's
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: there's help on the way. There's really no linebacker help
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: on the way right now. And that's a difference.
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: Right now, we need it is what it is in
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: terms of our starting offensive line. And you ain't getting
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: a starting tackle right now. And nor should you try.
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: We drafted Monroe Freeling in the first round. We made
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: a nice, solid bargain signing with Walker. I'm sorry. We're
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: an NFL team without two starting tackles. Like we got
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: screwed when it came to offensive line injuries, like an illness,
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: Moten's an illness. We have no idea when they're going
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: to come back. And that's another thing that makes it
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: really hard. They're not telling us anything. We have no idea.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: But if you add an offensive lineman, I think it'll
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: be after... It'll be waivers. It'll be someone that's cut.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: And it'll be a depth piece. Like maybe a depth
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: tackle they think is better than Stone Forsyth. Something like that.
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: You know?
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah. But I just... I think you are.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: I'm hoping they attempt to upgrade the linebacker spot and
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: edge rusher. I'm definitely looking at the edges too, but
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: it's not a starter like linebacker. We're not happy with
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: these starters. That's the difference.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: Jorge Andre back had the problem most Charlotteans have. Jorge
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: Andres got stuck in Charlotte traffic this morning.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: That's why he wasn't in the building.
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: Oh, 95 got him?
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: Traffic one, Jorge nothing.
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: We will get Jorge on next week when he's– traffic
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: obviously back.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: We'll be much better next week. I'm just going to
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: ignore Finney. Finney's trying to crack jokes about a mistake
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: I made in hour one. But I'm not the one
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: to try to kill off my old grandmother. Advantage Mac.
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: Advantage Mac by a long shot. Mac messed up an interstate.
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: You try to off your grandmother. If people just tuned in,
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: they're like, what did I miss today? Well, Matt called
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: it I-95 between here and Atlanta. And Finney said he'd
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: sacrifice Mama to beat NC State this year. Who's worse?
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: Who's the bad guy? Jack says it don't get no
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: better than Stone Foresight. Brian says, where in the world
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: is Josh Nyman when we need him? Is he on
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: a team?
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: That's Walker's hero.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: Is he on a team? I don't have the answer
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: to that. Walker picks. I'm not going to say Moose
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: is a weird hero. Walker also loves Jackson Kowatch. Walker
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: picks some interesting crushes.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I love Johnson.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: He picks some interesting crushes. Remember, he retired. Oh, yeah,
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: that's right. Yeah, he didn't. He's done. Yeah, he stepped away.
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: I forgot all about that. There's a very good chance
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: he would still be here. Yeah, he retired at 30
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: years old. A very good chance that he would still
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: be here and it wouldn't be Rasheed Walker.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, good call. I forgot all about that. This texter says... No,
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: Stone Forsythe won't retire either, folks. Calm down. This texter says,
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: if you goobers really think our offensive line is good
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: as is, y'all don't know ball. I mean, good as
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: is is... I don't know. That's getting a little eager there.
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: The strength is still in the interior, though.
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: Like.
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: The interior didn't seem to have any problems the other day.
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: It was just those two tackles. Listen, are we worried
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: about the offensive line? Hell yeah, we are. I'm worried
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: if Robert Hunt can stay healthy. I'm worried about the tackles.
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: I'm worried about Freeling learning on the job. Fortner even
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: a little bit there, we'll see. Fortner has bounced back, though,
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: from a rough first preseason game. I feel like he's
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: played better since then.
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: And also with Fulner, we know what the future is
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: there at that position anyway. I gotta be honest, we're
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: not talking about Sam Hecht enough. Sam Hecht, I think,
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: has been... tremendous in the preseason right like i i
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: think he has been great um his pff grade bone
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: is real good i saw i think it's ben fennel
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: is that the name of a dude from cbs or
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: am i making up a guy's name now i think
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: it was ben fennel cbs that was tweeting out he
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: said i just got done watching sam hex tape from
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: this week this dude is the starter sooner than later
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: in carolina So somebody made it a point to watch
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: his tape and say, this guy's getting it done. I
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: feel like bone, the Sam heck hype stopped when cam
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: Jackson put them on skates. And we heard beep, beep, beep.
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: As he was backed up like a truck backing up
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: in a parking lot. But I have to tell you
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: in the preseason games against twos, I think he's been
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: kicking ass. He has.
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: I'm trying to look up Mac. Does he have any experience?
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: Can he, Has he ever played guard before? I'm just
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: wondering if there's ever a situation where they could get
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: him in there if they needed him to play guard
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: just to get him in the lineup with Fortner. That's
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: a good question. I'd have to look that up. No,
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: because I'm reading his draft profile. He's a pure center
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: with zero snaps at guard.
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: I didn't know. Some guys you don't know. They start
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: at guard. They move to center. They're center. College guys
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: are over the place. I didn't know if you want
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: to get him in there. I didn't know if there
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: was a way to get him in there without playing center. But, yeah,
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: there it is. He's not a guard. And I think
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: the Fortner job is easier to win, obviously. You're not
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: beating out D'Lew or Hunt now. Hunt has missed like
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: 22 games in the last three seasons with injuries. We
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: do need to mention bone. And by the way, cut
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: deadline is six o'clock on Sunday. So if they want
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: to make a trade, it would be before that. If
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: they want to just wait for waiver wires at some
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: of these positions of need, that would obviously be happening
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: after Sunday night. Also need to mention— Texas is confused.
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: What happened to Mama on I-95? No, you're conflating the
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: two stories into one. No, this guy, Carolina Brink, says,
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: off your mom all in I-95. Off all was suggested.
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: Henderbo says, what would Finney do to poor Fowler to
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: beat anybody?
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: Finney, can you explain? We're getting a lot of questions.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: Can you explain what you said about your grandmother?
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: We were talking about expectations for this year. And would
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: I rather go to a bowl game or have Carolina
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: beat NC State? And in the heat of the moment,
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: I declared that If it meant I had to off
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: my Momo to end the drought to losing to NC State,
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: I'm willing to do so. And I stand by what
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: I said. Momo was 73.
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: How do you stay for a football game? She's on
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: like family for a football game.
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: She's on a whole like 16 of 18. She's probably
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: got a few more.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: A couple of people. She had health problems before. We're
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: even worried about her.
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: Just, just her leg. Just, just a minor leg issues.
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: Tell us Dave Doran's in your head without telling us
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: Dave Doran's in your head.
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: My Lord. That's low. Even for you.
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: When you lose to them five straight years, it had
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: me contemplating off of my mom. All had flounder admitting
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: on the podcast. he would probably consider getting into a
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: relationship with me to get a win over State.
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: That's how desperate we are to beat these. I didn't
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: know about that flounder part of this.
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: There was two sides to it.
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: But you know what?
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: You don't support our show. Listen to all these other
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: random podcasts, all this other crap, but you can't listen
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: to the Four Corners or the Heel Top Blog.
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: I don't listen to people that wish their grandmothers die.
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: I don't support that. Matt, we have a programming thing here.
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: This has been a... Heck of a 20 minutes. We
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: lost Jorge Andres, and now we've lost Wolfpack Kyle from
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: the debate against Complainer in Chief.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: No!
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: He had a baby two days ago and forgot they
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: had a doctor's appointment today.
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: So we've lost him. Oh, yeah, that wouldn't go well
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: with the missus.
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: So if there's any state fan out there that hears
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: this and wants to debate Complainer in Chief, Mac, I
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: would say.
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: Not the brightest Tar Heel fan. You have an opportunity
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: here to make some headway. If you want to debate Complainer-in-Chief,
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: the offers out there, any Wolfpack fan that wants a
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: piece of a Tar Heel fan.
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: Let us know. I'm not mad at Kyle. Congrats on
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: your baby, but we've got to make an adjustment here.
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: The fact that he even tried to squeeze this in
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: two days after they had a child is really amazing.
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: It goes to show how bad he wanted to argue
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: with Complainer and Chief. I don't know.
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: Someone wants Mama to debate Complainer. Mama right now is
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: being tucked away for a while.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: She right now has been taken to keep her away
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: from Fitty for her own good. She's been lead poisoned.
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: She's been taken away, Bone, to a secret location, a
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: secret bunker to protect her from her evil grandson.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: Ha!
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, man.
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: All right, so can we get a PAC fan to
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: get a piece of Tar Heel Fan Complainer in Chief?
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: We wanted to do a fan back and forth to
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: start kickoff their seasons, which begin tomorrow.
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: If Tom Wookaboo doesn't show up at 9, I'm just
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: going to go home.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: For the day.
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, everybody's bailing on us. You know why? Everybody heard
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: what Fitty said and said, I don't want to be
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: a part of that show. Said, no, I can't support
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: that show. That's what it is.
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: Does Fitty an update now, maybe?
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: Go to break.
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: All right, there we go. That's Fitty with his update.
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: When we come back. That's Roofing and Gutter Company update.
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: Give that number out. From the Fit Dog. Give that
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: number out, though.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: 704-334-9934. 704-334-9934.
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: 704-334-9934.
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: Call for a free quote today.
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: When we come back, Mac, it may be a complainer
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: in chief debating himself, or what if Wolfpack Mac steps up, baby,
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: and takes on chief?
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: I'll get you, chief. Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ. Sports Radio
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: 92.7 WFNZ. Mack and Bone with you as we cruise along, baby.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: It's a week zero football Friday. We got Panthers tonight.
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: Final preseason game. Roster spots. Roster battles. I will say this.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: We better see Wallace and Jeralis play tonight, right? Like,
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: they don't get time off.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: No way.
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: I know the starters aren't playing, but those guys got
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: to play. Prince Lee. I don't want to see Prince
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: Lee in a track suit. Like, some of these dudes.
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: Lee Hunter. Some of these guys got to play tonight, right?
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: And again, there's a long time until they play again.
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: We need to see some of these young guys or
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: these guys that are back-end roster guys show something here.
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: Uh before the the uh the real game start return
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: battle wide receiver battle like some of these things are
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: going to play.
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: Out tonight this would be a good spot for xl's
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: and that if he was healthy right to try to
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: get some just in game would they sit him out
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: i don't know but i guess we're never going to
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: find out because he is not healthy enough to go
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: would he bring dollar bill out for a preseason game
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: or does dollar bill stay.
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: In the stable i think you gotta keep him in
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: this day that'd be a pretty shameless dollar.
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: Bill Well, he's got to take the opportunities when he can. Although,
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: didn't our guy Rock Taylor basically do a dollar bill?
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he did.
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: He basically did it. He was grabbing his rocks when
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: he did it. I'll be at the doghouse tonight. KP
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: will be doing his show and countdown to kickoff tonight
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: from our awesome... Uptown studio sponsor, Harris Cherokee Casino and Resort.
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: I'll be at the Dog House 5 until 7, so
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: if you're there, stop on by. I hope Mother Nature
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: treats us kindly because there could be storms tonight that
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: could affect this game. The last thing we need, Bone,
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: is when it's third preseason or fourth preseason game and
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: your starters aren't playing, is for fans to be told
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: by Mother Nature, yeah, I'm going to delay this start.
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: Just hang around to watch preseason football. So I hope
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: Mother Nature cooperates. All right. So is Complainer here? Because
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: we can't find a state fan. State fans are texting in,
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: but they are what they're saying. Like, Wolfpack James text says,
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: UNC football is so dead, they're not worth fighting with.
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: Another texter says, it is beneath me to argue with
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: a Carolina fan about football on the radio. Oh, my God.
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: This state fan says, why would we argue with someone
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: that's not our rivals in football?
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: UNC football. UC Wolfe says UNC is our little brother
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: at this point in football. So I guess they don't
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: want a piece. I guess Wolfpack Mac's got to step
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: up and debate Complainer in Chief. You seem upset about this,
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: by the way. I got to do it, baby. I
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: got to do it.
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: People are wondering, was there really a guy named Kyle
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: or is this Mac's way to get in here? It's
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: a setup. All right, bring him on. You can't lose
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: the debate to Chiefy, though. This is a lot of
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: pressure on you right now.
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: Somehow I'm not feeling much pressure. Complainer in Chief, let's
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: get it on, baby. You versus Wolfpack Mac. How you feeling, baby?
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: I'm feeling good, man. I got a lot of sleep
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: last night, so I'm pretty rested.
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: Chief, where'd the energy go today, man? Are you sleeping now?
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: You're going to get plenty of sleep during these Tar
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: Heel football games this season, Chief.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know about that, bud. I don't know about that.
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: You are the most optimistic Tar Heel football fan. And obnoxious.
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: Why are you optimistic? Why do you believe that all
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: the naysayers are going to be proven wrong?
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: Because even though the season was crap last year, we
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: were only literally two plays away from being 6-6 and
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: being in the bowl game. We weren't close in any game.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: In Cal, we fumbled at the goal line. Let's be
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: honest here.
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: Virginia was close, too, to your point. But here's the thing, though, Chief.
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: Here's the problem. Your schedule is astronomically harder. Last year's schedule...
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: was cupcake city this year's schedule is the number 13
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: schedule in the country that's the problem you can be
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: a better team and still win four games that's the problem.
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah we're not gonna win four games we're more than
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: that this year that's not happening.
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: This year so sure of them so i do appreciate
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: this you sound like you woke up about a minute
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: and a half ago this is not the normal chief
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: that i know would you be content with five wins
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: but you beat nc.
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: State this year.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: No, actually, I think we're going to lose to NC State.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: I know it sucks to say that, even the record
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: I have. I haven't lost to NC State just because
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: it's always such a tough game, and it just feels like, hey,
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: calm down there, buddy. It's not like you've got something
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: in your throat. Anyway, it just seems like that Doran
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: has our number. They own you. But the thing is, though,
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: is that we, in reality, overall, we own them because
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: they haven't caught up with us yet in the win
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: total yet. But it's okay.
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: You haven't beat them in five years, for God's sake.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: Listen, a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: a while.
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: What about five nuts?
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: What about five consecutive nuts in a row in November?
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: That's possible with all the other thousands of nuts falling
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: out of the trees. You're right.
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: Speaking of nuts, who invited Complainer and Chiefs on their boat?
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: Chief, what's your win total projection for UNC, and what's
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: your projection for the Pack this year?
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: Okay, so my win total, it really depends. There's two
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: ways it can go. If we lose to TCU, realistically...
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: I'm optimistic. I think we can beat these other teams.
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: But if we lose to TCU, I think 8-4, if
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: we beat TCU, I'm going to stick with my 10-2.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: I'm just going to stick with it. I think we
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: can do it. I'm just telling you, I think we
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: can do it. That's just my opinion. I think our linebacker.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: He's very talented from what I read up on him.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: He can read defenses very well. Is he good in coverage?
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: Probably not. But that's not really going to be his role.
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: That's the thing. McDonald and Seelman, are you going to
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: be athletic? You're not going to be as athletic as
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: you were at linebacker last year.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: Seelman's athletic. Seelman's sideline to sideline. He had 120 tackles.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: He's a 20-26. In FCS football.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: Watch list.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: FCS. The watch list with only 51 other lines.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: The watch list.
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: Dude, all I'm going to tell you is five straight
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: wins over your heinies and C.J.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: Bailey.
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: All right? Seriously. Next issue. I mean, come on, man.
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: How do you come on with a straight face? Oh,
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: you going bad mouth C.J.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: Bailey? Yeah, I'm going bad mouth.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: I don't like that dude.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: Looked like a freaking turkey up there running around.
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: He's a baller, though. 25 touchdowns, six picks last year.
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: Third year starting in the same system. Are you still
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: calling out Miami?
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: What teams did you play?
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm calling out Miami. Yes, yes, we're going to, yes, yes.
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: So you're not going to beat State, but you're going
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: to beat Miami.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because we played them close. Do y'all not understand?
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: how this stuff works? There's a different energy for different games.
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: That's just how it is. It happens like that. It's
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: just sometimes NC State has it over us. Sometimes we
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: have it over them.
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: Isn't that a problem?
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: Last time we beat them. That's how it works.
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: But you beat Miami, but they didn't have the players
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: they have now. Like Miami's roster is the.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: I understand that, but how many times has Miami been
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: said to be back, which they did make it to whatever, right?
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: So they were back that year. But how many times have.
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: They been said to be back? They were in the
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: national title.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: They were in the national title. I mean, but other
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: times they were like, oh, they're back, they're back. Then
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: they play North Carolina. Oh, what happened to our season?
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: But again, they haven't had talent like this. Like they
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: haven't had a team like this since you beat them.
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: They weren't back. Now they actually are back. Like we
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: saw it with our own eyes last year.
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and they also lost all the people they
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: were back– a good amount of talent they were back
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: with as well. And yes, they replenish it. You're right.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: But those players still have to play together and play
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: as one and not do the whole thing.
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: Chief, I got a question, Chief. Do you believe this,
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: or is this just like, are you messing with us?
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: You tried this last year, too, Chief, and you went
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: away for a while.
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: No, bro, I believe it. I'm telling you, I'm a
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: diehard Panthers and Tar Heels fan. I believe this, and
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: I know I talk crap about Bryce. I hope he
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: does good, too. I know this ain't the Panthers section,
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: but I hope he does good because I want my
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: Panthers to do good. But I just don't see it.
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: But anyway, let's get back to the other thing. I'm
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: a diehard Tar Heels fan.
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: This texter says— Last year.
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: Last year, last year I was hyped. But when the
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: season started, I had to hit reality, right? And maybe
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: at one point this season, it might make me hit reality.
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: But right now, I can dream all I want to dream.
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: You're right. Right now, you have zero losses. You're unbeaten
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: right now, Chief. I will give it to you. A
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: texter says, is Chief like Fitty? Would he sacrifice a
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: family member for a Tar Heel football win?
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: Hmm.
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: I got to think about that.
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: And the sad thing is, as bad as that answer is, Bo,
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: it's way better than Finney's answer.
• 41:23
  Speaker 4: Do you know who's got the most votes for winning
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: this Jamboree Roundtable, Mac?
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: Who's that?
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: Kyle.
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: Kyle's the winner? Wolfpack Kyle, who didn't show up to
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: ask being chief. I think the winner are the listeners
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: that have heard all of this great breakdown of football.
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: All right, Chiefy. Chiefy, we'll be in touch. All right?
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: We will be in touch, sir. Maybe we'll talk to
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: you on Monday if you're around this time. All right.
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: All right. There you go, Chief.
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: I respect— We're going to eat some frog legs tomorrow.
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: We're eating some frog legs tomorrow.
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: We're going to eat some frog legs. Frog legs with
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: a Guinness. Chase it down with a Guinness tomorrow. There
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: you go. Usually Chief's going a mile a minute.
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: Today he was more— I don't know what was going on
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: there with Chief today.
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're disappointed in his performance. It sounded like he
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: was still in bed. I would like the record to
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: show here— let me read this off here— that segment was
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: the idea of the bone man and no nobody but
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: the bone man it does not reflect max idea of

  Speaker 4: to sub in for kyle I'm also getting trolled by
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: a man named Breasticle during that segment also.
• 42:31
  Speaker 5: Where did this guy come from, though?
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: If your name is Breasticles, maybe you should just take
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: the rest of the day off. What's Breasticles talking about?
• 42:37
  Speaker 4: That I have the least game on the show of you, me,
• 42:40
  Speaker 4: and Fitty. That Fitty has the most game on the
• 42:43
  Speaker 4: show with the ladies. And I don't, I mean, I'm not,
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: it wasn't even about Fitty. I don't even know where
• 42:46
  Speaker 4: this even came from.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: See, the thing is, Bones doesn't tell y'all what's been
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: going on. Bones has some ladies, but Bones usually... I've
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: been busy for like two decades. I've been married in relationships.
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: I've been busy. Not getting busy, but I've been busy.
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: Bones has had to use his game more than... I
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: haven't had to use my... I wouldn't even know what
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: to do. If I had to spit my game, like, oh,
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: my God. If I had to break game out. You
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: stopped using game when Napster went away. Now, I won
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: the game because I got Mrs. Mack, and I still
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: don't know how it happened. But, like, I don't have
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: to use any of those skills.
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: I've been in a relationship more so in the last
• 43:25
  Speaker 4: decade that I've not been in one.
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: Like, it's just a matter of.
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: You reel them in. Sometimes they change, but I was
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: married for seven years. You got charm. You can reel
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: them in, Boney. All right.
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: But Fitty's got one now, though, man. All it takes
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: is one two-fit dog. Well, he had one.
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: All it takes is the right one. He had a
• 43:40
  Speaker 4: girl and mama an hour ago. Then he offed mama,
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: and now we don't know what the girl thinks about this.
• 43:45
  Speaker 5: Probably back to just flounder by the end of the weekend.
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: Somebody just said, Fitty, for this new girl in your life,
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: would you get rid of her for a Tar Heel
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: win over Miami?
• 43:58
  Speaker 5: I plead the fifth.
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: Oh, God, Finney. Don't self-sabotage anymore, Fit.
