  Speaker 1: What's up, party people? Bueno, como estas? Oh, oh, oh,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: it's Mike and Bo.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: This is my friend, Matt.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: It's a beautiful work Wednesday, everybody.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: This is my friend, T-Bone.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: We got creamed weight. You guys are the best. Pony, pony, pony, pony.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: They're the best. I love those guys.
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: What the heck is he looking at?
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Oh, man.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: All right, one time for the one time.
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: You're listening to the Mack and Bo Show on Mack
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: and Bo Radio.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Good Wednesday morning, Charlotte. Welcome aboard. It is Mack and
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Bo Showtime, ladies and gentlemen. And we got some things happening.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: We got the Canes beginning their defense, hoisting a banner.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: and then proceeding to not score a goal last night
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: in a dramatic game. Dramatic finish with about four seconds
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: left in overtime, but it was the bad guys winning.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: We've got the Braves rallying. Could we get this Austin
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Riley for the whole playoffs? That'd be pretty sweet. We'll
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: talk about that as well. All kind of other stuff
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: going on in sports last night. Damian Lewis, injury information.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's not great, but it's certainly not near
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: as bad as, say, the J.C. Horn injury stuff. So
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: we'll talk about that a little bit as well. And
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: we will at some point here turn our attention to
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions and Sunday night football. We're waiting all
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: week for Sunday night. Sing it, Kerry. Sing it over there.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Can you do your version, Bone? Can you get in
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: a pair of short shorts and show off your legs
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: and sing that song? We'll post the video.
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: With how some Panther fans are feeling right now, Mac,
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: we're waiting all week for Sunday night.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Sunday night? They had to put a question mark on it,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: I think. We will address the fact that yesterday it
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: was the lost season theory. Today it's the we have
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: no chance to win this game because of all our
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: injuries theory. There's a lot of good vibes out there
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: with 792 football injuries. But we're ready to go. Fitty
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: is here as well for this fine radio. Well, a
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: program we hope is fine. So good luck. And there'll
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: be a refund if it is not. Bone Man, how
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: you feeling? Your Yankees beating up. Beating up on the
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: rival Sox last night.
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: First of all, good morning to my friend here, Smokin'
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: Bro Frazier. It's good to have you with us here today, Mackers.
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: Appreciate you being here. I'm not feeling my best today.
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: I don't know what I ate that was bad, but
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: I'm going to tough this out because that's what tough
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: guys do when the tough get going. They get tough.
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: I sound like James Winston right now. That's what Ben
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: Rice would want you to do.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no. Is that his name, Ben? Yeah, hit on
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: it briefly.
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: Ben Rice and Cam Schwittler carried the Yankees all year
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: in their rotation in the lineup.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: And that's what they did last night.
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: Cam Schwittler now in two postseason games, both against Boston,
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: 14 innings pitched, no runs, 22 strikeouts.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: And this year.
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: In 31 starts, he allowed one run or less in
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: 21 of those games. So what he did last night,
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: he's really done it all year. Ben Rice also did
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: it all year.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Two homers, six RBI last night for Rice. Yankees won 9-0.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Other than the Braves game, well, I'm not going to lie.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to act like I was watching much
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: of the White Sox game while the Canes were playing.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: But the Padres, I flipped that game. I was going
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: to do the thing where I kind of doze in
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: and out of sleep and check up on the game.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Didn't even have to do that. It was a rout also.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: San Diego continues their hot run. 8-0 over the Cubs.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: The Cubs were getting no hit pretty deep in that
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: game also. by Michael Caine. Okay. I just looked at
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: the score and said, I don't even need to bother
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: with this one.
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: Well, I was up commuting back and forth last night,
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: so I was able to kind of catch a little
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: bit of it during my travels from one room to
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: the commode station.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Lovely. White Sox won 6-3. We'll talk about the Braves
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: and Canes here in a second. I do want to
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: mention the Damian Lewis injury news. Today is Wednesday, so
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: I'm sure this is something that maybe Dave Canales will
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: talk about a little bit as we wait for, you know,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: we're screwed Wednesday, the latest injury updates. But yesterday, reports
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: indicate that Damian Lewis has a UCL issue with his elbow.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: We know that he was in and out of the
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: game bone on Sunday. UCL injury, according to one report,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: out a few weeks. You had Jeremy Fowler from ESPN
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: saying he has a tear in his elbow. He will
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: get a second opinion. So we'll see. I did see
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: one of the articles mentioned the bye week and the
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: fact that, hey, He could just miss the one game
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: because of the bye week because it would essentially be
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: a few weeks, Bone, between the Browns game and the
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Eagles game after the bye week. It would be three weeks.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: So maybe we get lucky and he only misses one game.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, I guess this is considered good injury news
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: with some of the other horrendous injury news we've gotten,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: including the J.C. Horn stuff.
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, it's not good in the immediate, but
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: the long-term prognosis doesn't feel like this is going to
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: be a J.C. Horne where maybe he comes back at
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: the end.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Not even close.
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: We'll get him back in short order in comparison to
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: all these other ones. What was Damian Lewis's injury last year?
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: He got hurt last year, right? What was the injury
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: last year? I have to go back and see.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: What that was. He didn't miss much time, right? I
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: don't think so. Because he has not missed much time
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: since he's been here.
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: He's missed like one game a season, I feel like.
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: I guess maybe I'm conflating him and Hunt's injuries, maybe,
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: I guess. I thought he had an elbow at some point,
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: but maybe I'm wrong.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: He may have, but he played 16 games. He's played
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: 16 games the last four years.
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: I thought he may have played through something last year.
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: I'll have to double check. And maybe he will play
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: 16 games this year. Maybe he'll, you know, knock on wood.
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: Maybe he'll miss the game with the injury bone. And
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: maybe he'll be back, you know, after the bye week.
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: So we will see. But it's not ideal for Sunday night.
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: And they're going to have to dig deep on Sunday night.
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: But I've heard people mention it here on the station.
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: He had a chest and an oblique injury play through
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: last year.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: So I was wrong. There you go. First mistake of
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: the day, honestly. All right. But he usually he again,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: he plays most games not on wood. I've already heard
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: people invoke the Rams game of last year. I think
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: that's the kind of energy we need going into this game.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: is how beleaguered we were last year, coming off the
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Niners loss, didn't have Horn, didn't have Merrick, didn't have
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: a bunch of other guys, and still beat the Rams.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: I think that's the kind of energy that we're going
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: to need this week. Remind ourselves that, in the words
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: of Kevin Garnett, anything is possible.
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: All right? I think we're going to have to remind
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: ourselves of that. I think Kevin Garnett sounded a little
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: more crazier than you did. Yeah, I didn't go full Garnett.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Anything is possible!
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: There you go.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: It's early in the morning. You got it for me.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: You got it for me there. All right. You good now? Yep.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what wasn't possible is the Canes scoring
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: a goal in the opener. I watched every second of
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: this game. This is a record for Caniac Mac in
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: the regular season, Bo. I'm not sure I've ever done
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: this in my life. Watched every second. The guys after
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: the game, P.K. Subban in yet another weird outfit, some
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: weird trench coat type situation. They were trying to tell
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: me it was such a great game. It felt to
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: me like a hockey version of Browns and Panthers. It
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: did feel like there were two good defensive teams playing,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: some good goaltending moments, but this game was 1-0, and
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: literally Florida scored their goal four seconds left in overtime
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: before the shootout would have been held. It was a
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: tough way to freaking lose. I'm no Pucks McGee here, Boney,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: but it felt to me ugly.
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, felt like the first game. Offensively ugly. Felt like
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: the first game of the year in September, right? And
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: we're also, Mac, we're used to helicoptering in during the postseason.
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: Everybody's sharp. They're crisp.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: They're sharp.
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: The games matter. Big difference in what we see in
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: the springtime compared to what we see to start the year.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Mac, may I go negative?
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: A new character, Mac, called Negative Panther Fan Watches Other Sports. Mac,
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: I don't like what I saw in a Ron Brindamore
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: last night. Should he be on the hot seat? Should
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: Brindamore be fired, huh? Maybe Bebop was right. Guys should
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: be fired. If that was the Panthers last night off
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: a championship, there would be fans that say, we're no
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: longer the same anymore. We're now living off the past.
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: They had, probably true. That's my negative Panther fan tone.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: They had 15 shots on goal in 65 minutes. the
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: fewest shots on goal of a defending champ in a
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: season opener since 1955.
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: Sheesh. So, yeah, it felt pretty damn ugly. They didn't
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: even have, like, real sticks back then. They were using, like,
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: table legs and stuff.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Table legs. Oh, yeah, look it up.
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: Oh, man, this case of the poops you got has
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: you silly, man. You're very silly today. I never outwardly
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: said what I had. I just said I had an issue. Please,
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: but it's a lower body situation.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Sorry about that. A lower body situation. Um, so anyway, uh,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: we will, um, I will, uh, move along bone. I
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: will try to figure out if I can watch Canes
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: games moving forward. I'm not sure if I can or not.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: I may have to acquire prime, uh, the prime, uh,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Canes TV thing. If it's not on direct TV stream and, uh,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: we will move forward and the Canes will be okay.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: I was, I didn't realize though, bone that they, that
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: they have no new players on this roster. Like every
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: player now, obviously, you know, Jarvis is not playing yet
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: because of the injury. Nikitian has the contract situation, but
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: like every person. that is on their team is from
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: this organization. They are running it back. They didn't add anything.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: There's literally, it's what, it's a 22, the 21 to 22.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: It's something. It's a crazy number, like.
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: I think that was because of Jarvis, but it was like,
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: I think it's every member is, was in the organization.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. There you go. You might've been on the
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: toilet when they showed that. No, it was later on
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: in the night. But anyway, so we will see.
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: I had to take a, I took a giant Red
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: Sox last time. The Braves game was good though, man.
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: The Braves game was freaking good.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: It was, you know, Salem, Lizardo early, and it had
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: a pitcher's dual feel. The Phillies then take a 3-2 lead.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Braves are up 2-1. Phillies take a 3-2 lead. We're
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: in the eighth inning. Two runners get on. One was
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: an error. The other was Albies getting hit by a pitch.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: And next thing you know, Austin Riley. And how many
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: times have we heard Braves fans say, if Austin Riley,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: if we can get the good Austin Riley, the best
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: of Austin Riley, the best of Acuna, like how many guys, Bone,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: are Braves fans looking to be at their best in
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: the postseason? And Austin Riley goes out there in the
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: eighth inning. hits a three-run go-ahead home run. Iglesias gets
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: three outs and gets the save, and the Braves are
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: one win away from actually beating the Phillies, their arch
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: nemesis in the damn postseason.
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and the Phillies' bullpen has been their biggest Achilles heel,
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: and it got them last night after they traded triples prior.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: To that in various innings.
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: No, yeah, sometimes, Mac, in the postseason, it's just a
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: matter of anybody getting the big hit. But sometimes it's
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: about who gets the big hit. And for Austin Riley
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: to have that moment last night, maybe that's huge. And
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: maybe that carries over to a big postseason for Austin Riley.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: We'll see. But that was a huge moment for him
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: last night. No doubt about it. Donnie Baseball's getting criticized
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: for going with Duran.
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: That's one thing we're not going to do. He's a
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: Philly now, Bone.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: You're good. You're good. Uncle Donnie there. He's getting criticized
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: for going with Duran, their best reliever, and trying to
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: stretch him three innings. in this game and in the
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: second of the three that is when he gave up
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: the three runs he had only given up two home
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: runs the whole season yeah and he's doing that because
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: of what you're saying they are 21st in bullpen era
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: and how many times and this is one of the
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: things you got to like about the braves You know,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: there's down the line starters you got to wonder about.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Who's going to hit, who's not, you got to wonder about.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: But the bullpen for the Braves is a severe advantage
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: in this series and will be a severe advantage. The
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Braves are fourth in bullpen ERA in all of baseball,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: and it showed last night. Their bullpen came in for
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: sale and three guys didn't give up a run, Bo.
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I saw some of our Philly fan listeners, or
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: friends really, I should say, not blaming Donnie Baseball because
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: of how bad the bullpen is, and that was their
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: best chance. So one of those situations, I guess, and
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: not following exactly... the inner workings of the Phillies' bullpen
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: all year. But I guess it was one of those
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: ones where I'm going to ride this guy, and no
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: matter who we put in there, we're probably going to
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: lose it, so I might as well go in. But
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: it does feel a little bit– that's the thing about
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: these three-game series, Mac. It increases the desperation for moves
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: like that also, right, because it's only three games.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: If you have one pitcher you trust out of the bullpen,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: you ain't going far in the playoffs. Now, I hesitate
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: to make any– With the Braves one win away from
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: winning this three-game series? Because the Phillies are 3-0 against
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: the Braves in the postseason. I don't need to tell
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Braves fans this. Two of them are in the last
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: four freaking years. It has been a pain in the
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: rear end. Painted the old rumpus. But if that's the
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: attitude in Philly, as we have one reliever, and he
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: threw 27 pitches yesterday? What do you need? Complete games? Yeah.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Yeah, that's– So that's a
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: big advantage to the Braves.
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: And now when you get that game one in the
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: three-game series, you can still play your game if you're
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: the Braves. You play your normal type of baseball game
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: within reason. Now if you're the Phillies, you know, if
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: two Braves get on in the top of the first
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: inning or bottom of the first inning, you're getting panicky.
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: That's when all of a sudden you start– when your
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: season's on the line and desperation hits– That's what happens
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: when you lose game one of this short series. Now
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: all that desperation's on the Phillies, and the Braves can
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: still play.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Their normal baseball game. Shoot, Duran might have to go
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: six innings tonight. It's Tyler Malley against Christopher Sanchez. Malley
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: had literally his only bad start out of nine starts
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: since being acquired. Braves fans are asking, this is it
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: at the trade deadline? This is our pitcher? And the
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: dude has given up one earned run or less in
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: seven of his nine starts. Unbelievable. And two in another,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: and then his last start. That's the only concern. His
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: last start last week against the Reds gave up five runs.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: So we'll see what he does today. I mean, they're
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: going against a— Two o'clock again today. They're going against
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: a great pitcher today, though, in Sanchez with a season
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: on the line. So this is another one. Sanchez, 18-7
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: this year.
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: With a 2.91, and actually 2.91 dropped his ERA a
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: little bit there from what it was. He had a
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: phenomenal year, so this is going to be a tough
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: matchup again today for the Braves.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: No, definitely. No doubt about it. And maybe Sanchez can
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: give them the innings they need from their starter. You know,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: we'll see. I hope I'm rooting against it. But that's
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: at 2 o'clock today, so I'm looking forward to watching
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: that game and hopefully a Braves win. I do want
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: to shout out our guy Tim Rehm. Last night he
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: was honored in his hometown of St. Louis before the U.S.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: men's national team match against Chile. He is retiring from
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: international duty, Bone. He has, I think, 86 different appearances
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: with the U.S. men's national team, 60 of them after
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: turning 30. This dude has been a beast. This dude
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: was not supposed to be starting at this World Cup.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: We don't have a lot of good center backs. I
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: think everybody noticed that at the World Cup. This dude
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: was a warrior for us, man, much like he is
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: for our club. So that was cool for him, man,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: back in St. Louis. Had the family there, had the
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: kids there. That was a cool moment yesterday for him, man. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: And there's a reason, Matt, that he got named the captain, right,
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: of that squad. You talk about a well-earned career moment
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: to have that, not only in the World Cup, but
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: to be named the captain.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: That was a really cool milestone thing for him. Yeah,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: and we won't talk about the Belgium game. We will
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: just move on. We won't talk about that. He's a leader, man.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: He just exudes leadership, and I'm glad to have him
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: here in Charlotte, and I wonder how much longer he
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: has in his career in general. You know, but international
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: career is done. This isn't about this. This this international
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: break is not about the old dudes. It's about the
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: young dudes. Average age for the team that played last night. Bone,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: 23 years old and the youngest goal scorer ever last night.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: They had two 17-year-olds balling out last night, and one
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: of them was Matthias Albert, who's the youngest goal scorer
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: ever in a U.S. men's national team jersey. I also
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: want to shout out my girl, Caitlin Clark, my girl,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Kelsey Mitchell, my girl, Aaliyah Boston. The Indiana Feverbone extended
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: their series against the Aces last night. Hell of a game.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark, 27-7. 15 assists and 7 rebounds in an
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: elimination game with their season on the line last night.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they could beat the Aces in
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: the decisive game 3 on Thursday, but that was pretty
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: damn entertaining last night, too. I was very multi-sportsy last night.
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: That was not your average Tuesday sports day, was it?
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: There was a lot going on. And I got to
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: tell you, I can't, other than the Braves game, The playoffs,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: it's like TV2 for me. It's TV2.
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: I get it.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: For me personally. No, I know.
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: I mean, that's kind of me with postseason baseball. The
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: Braves and Phillies, who usually play very entertaining games like yesterday,
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: are pretty locked in.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Or the Yankees. But you're right.
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: The playoff baseball for me often is no sound on
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: the second TV. I always have it on, but it's
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: more of a monitoring the game situation.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: And they weren't close either. Like, your Yankees are blowing out.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Later at night, the Padres
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: are blowing the Cubbies out. So maybe we'll get a
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: bunch of close games today. We'll see.
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: When we come back, college football playoff meetings going on today.
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: What's the latest on that? Shane Beamer talks Dylan Stewart
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: in another fiery presser.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: And we have a new scandal in the SEC. Sports
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Radio 92.7 WFNZ. Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ. Mack and Bone
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: with you. During the break, Fitty said, Mack, wasn't watching
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: the stuff you were watching last night, Mack. I had
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: no WNBA, no soccer on the TV. But you want
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: to know what he did have on his TV, Bone?
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: His documentary that he and his sweetie are watching together.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: What were you watching? How do we wope? Mrs. Mac.
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: Mrs.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Mac out of town right now, but even if she wasn't,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: she knows that we are not in watch documentary in
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: the middle of the week stage of our relationship. But
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Fitty Marlowe is, baby. God dang, Fitty. This is beautiful.
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: You moved to the documentary stage rather quick, man. I
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: got to tell you.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: Dude, now I'm watching this documentary about the Menendez brothers.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: They killed their parents, like, in the late 80s, early 90s?
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Finney just found out about this drama. I've never heard
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: of it. Oh, my God. The Melendez brothers yesterday. It's insane. Yeah.
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: Finney, wait until you get to 1994 and you watch
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: the OJ documentary.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Moving through the decades, man. I'm happy for you, though, Finney.
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: Are you?
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Hell yeah, I am. This is so serious. This is so–
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Finney is a change man. I'm telling you, this dude, oh,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: my God, he's becoming whipped like the rest of us, y'all.
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: Send us your doc recommendations for Finney, maybe about the
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: Cold War of the 1980s.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Oh, my goodness. It was in the 1950s. What's that?
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: It started in the 1950s.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: It just lasted through the years. Yes, there you go.
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: So you don't even need a documentary there. Mac, I'm
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: a little sad here before getting to college football. So
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: if I notice here, as I was perusing the blocked
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: list on the text line here, I noticed that one
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: of my enemies– one of my one of my guys
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: i'm not going to mention his name he got blocked
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: and i'm sad because i'm not the one that did
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: it one of my guys got put in text jail
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: and it wasn't me that did it.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: You got to be more specific bone you have 200
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: enemies on the text.
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: Line i may go block him so then i can
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: just do it but i wanted to make you feel
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: bad i didn't do it so he must have made
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: somebody else mad i like to be the one to
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: put my guys in the slammer how did what did
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: my guy do man I don't know. Get to the
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: bottom of that one. That makes me sad that it
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: wasn't me that did it. I wasn't the arresting officer.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: You would probably block Shane Beamer if he texted in
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: on the text line right now. I dare you, Shane.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: I dare you, Double Dog Dare. I think you would.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: Shane Beamer pressers are like the— Some of the most
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: clipped events in Carolina sports right now. There were like
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: five different clips that went like semi-viral and gained a
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: lot of traction yesterday from him in his press conference.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: He tends to get fired up. He tends to get defiant.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: He tends to say things, Bone, that gaslight the fans
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: in Gamecock Nation. Yesterday, we did get, you know, the
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: newsy aspect of it, though. Um, he talked about Dylan Stewart.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: He said he has had heart to heart talks with
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Dylan since, you know, kind of suspending him that Dylan
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: is away from the team right now, won't play against Kentucky.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: And then we'll find out moving forward. Um, they suspended
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: him for the Kentucky game initially. And then the sec
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: came in and said, Oh, by the way, we're suspended
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: him for the Kentucky game too. Um, said he talked
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: to his mom, Shane Beamer say, talk to Dylan Stewart's
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: mom about it. um and he explained why you know
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: he has chosen bone to uh even before the sec
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: took action to sit dylan stewart down you.
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: Know the easy thing for me i understand the sec
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: suspended him yesterday before i knew that on sunday before
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: i suspended him the easy thing from a football standpoint
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: would just say you know we're gonna whatever fine you
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: go out there on the field we'll do some up
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: downs run extra that'll be your punishment but we need
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: you on saturday to go beat kentucky That's like the
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: easy thing to do. And, you know, the right thing
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: to do is the hard thing to do, and that's
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: to sit him down. And hopefully this will be an
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: opportunity for him to learn and be better going forward,
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: whether that's at South Carolina or when he gets to
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: the next level.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: You know, that's my hope is that five.
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: Years from now, ten years from now, he may disagree
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: with me right now, and I'm sure he does. But
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: five years from now, next year, ten years, whatever, he
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: looks back and I hope that he says, you know what,
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: he was trying to help me and it's made me
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: a better player professionally.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Hopefully, listen, hopefully that's the case. The kid learns his lesson.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: You know, and maybe even if he drops a few
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: spots or whatever it is in the draft, hopefully he
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: learns his lesson long term. And hopefully, Bone, for the
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: sake of y'all in Gamecock Nation, maybe he can get
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: back in there. I don't know if I'd bet on it,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: but maybe he can get back in there for the
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Gamecocks and kind of turn things around personally, too.
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and he's also got to not only get on
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: the field and mature defensively, in the personal sense, he's
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: got to be healthy also to get out there and
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: play more than a 12-snap pitch count also. He's got
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: to play football in both in terms of how he
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: carries himself and how he plays the game in a
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: healthy way also. Mack, translation also there? As I've learned
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: to speak Beamer, the conversation didn't go well either. When
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: he says, hopefully one day he learns what he did
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: was wrong.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: He may not now. He might be mad at me now.
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: That tells you right there that he's had conversations, but
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: there's still a disconnect there.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Between the two. But any parent can relate to that. Like,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: and any, hell, any son or daughter can relate to that.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, the stuff I would get mad that my
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: dad did to me, punish wise, said to me, I
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: didn't like it. I'll be damned if I didn't get
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: old and realize, crap, that old man knew what the
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: hell he's doing. You know? And as parents, we can
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: only hope that our kids at some point have that moment, too.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: So that's kind of what Shane Beamer is hoping for. Now,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: Shane Beamer got a little testy. This isn't a full
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: on 10 out of 10 beams. This is maybe more
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: of like a seven beams bone, maybe even a six beams.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Seven beams. but I saw Brad Crawford share this clip
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: and tweet out that Beamer got a little bit feisty
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: and testy when it was suggested that maybe fifth year,
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: former Gamecock, who, you know, was eligible because of the
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: whole fifth year shenanigans, maybe they should have brought him
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: back because their secondary got obliterated by Alabama on Saturday.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Listen to this exchange. I guess it's easy to ask
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: this with hindsight, but with, With DQ Smith, was there
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: any possibility for him to come back, or was that
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: a decision y'all made or he made?
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: Why are you asking about DQ Smith, though, like right now?
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: I'm not asking, like, why are we asking about DQ today?
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: Are you referring to something with the secondary? Yeah, with
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: the last two games of the secondary and the production
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: that's been allowed. I got you. Well, I wouldn't say
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: that's necessarily been at the safety position. I think with
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: some of the explosive plays we've given up hail, it's
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: been corners, it's been nickels, it's been safeties, it's been linebackers,
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: it's been defensive linemen. But no, I wish DQ well.
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: DQ played a lot of really, really good football for us,
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: but we've got four really good safeties that we're playing
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: with right now in Peyton Williams and David Busey and
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: Kendall Daniels. And Just Avian Kearns and Kearns is a
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: freshman that's going through, you know, went through some growing
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: pains the other night, but is a big time player
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: and has made some big time plays.
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: That was Hale McGranahan of the big spur there that
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: he was chatting up there about DQ Smith. I have
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: a question, Mac, about all the safeties and secondary members.
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: That's great to name off all these guys. How about
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: you put them on the receivers for the other team?
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: Because the other day I didn't really see any of
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: these guys, Mac, actually covering the Alabama wide receivers anywhere
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: on the football field.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: It was ugly, and there were safeties involved.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there was definitely safeties involved, whether they were busted
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: coverages or just failed coverages. If you look at Currents,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: who he mentioned at the end there, played five snaps
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: against pass plays and gave up two catches for 117 yards.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: So he does this thing where he digs in defiantly,
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: and it's like, dude, D.Q. Smith could have helped you.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Don't act like he couldn't. You know what I mean? Now,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: if you want to say, hey, that ship has sailed,
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: we made our decision. But like, don't act like it's
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: a it's a ridiculous question or whatever. Right now, it
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter who's asking the question, what it is.
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: He's snippy. It doesn't every answer. He's feeling the pressure
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: right now. You can tell by this. If you're watching
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: the actual videos, how much he goes to the water.
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: I mean, this dude, I haven't seen that much water
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: drinking since Dave Gettleman back in the day.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: That is actually true.
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: Remember Dave Gettleman back when he drank that water? Every question,
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: he'd be chugging a bottle of water. Shane Beamer is
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: thinking of every answer while he's chugging water. This dude's
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: fanny's not only hot, his whole body's on fire right now.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and unfortunately, every press conference I look at in
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: the Carolinas, it's a coach who's feeling that same sort
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: of heat. Dave Dorn got a little feisty the other
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: day talking about criticism. But here's Tim Albin. Here's another one.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Let me go to the next hot booty in the
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: Carolinas when it comes to coaching hot seats. Tim Albin.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: And the big thing this week with Niner fans is...
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: And Tim Albin did open the door Saturday after the
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: loss to Louisiana. He was asked about, you know, would
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: you consider changing the play caller on offense? And he said,
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: we got to consider everything. So Charlotte fans then spent
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: the next couple of days online, you know, expressing their
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: belief that hopefully Todd Fitch will not be calling plays
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: on Saturday night. I got bad news for you Niner fans.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: Here's the answer. Will Todd Fitch be the play caller
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: this Saturday?
• 28:36
  Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely.
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 28:37
  Speaker 6: I'm going to, I mean, I'm responsible for all three
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: game plans, offense, defense, and special teams. And all those
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: things fall on my shoulders. I've got to have the
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: team ready. I'm involved in the play calling. You know,
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: I mean, as I think I've said, he didn't call
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: the pass out of the end zone against that state.
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: I did.
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: I mean, that's got to come from the head coach.
• 29:05
  Speaker 6: That's a big call. You know, you hit it for
• 29:09
  Speaker 6: a first down, and we're trying to get one down
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: the seam. You know, it's your hero or zero, you know,
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: when you're through it. You know, I've called the reverse.
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: I mean, you know, I'm involved.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: So there you go. He's taking the heat and the
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: blame on himself, and I respect that.
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: I like to call this segment back the misery index
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: check-in right now, trying to rank who's got the most
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: misery right now. It's a Beamer lead so far. We'll
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: put Tim Albin second there. I don't think Tim Albin
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: came across quite as defiant as Beamer did. But Beamer
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: right now has the longer pass.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: He fell on the sword. I respect falling on the sword.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: Albin seems a little– Beamer gets defiant. Albin seems a
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: little jittery about trying to say the right things.
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: And I hate it. I hate it for all these guys, man.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: I know some of y'all think I hate your team
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: or whatever, but I want all of you to have
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: football success. If we have good teams in the Carolinas
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: in college football, much like with the Panthers, it's great
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: for us. It's great for the show. It's great for
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: the banter and stuff like that.
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: I heard Albens called around and Beamer said, hey, man,
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: you just got to drink a lot of water when
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: they ask you questions.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Buy yourself some time with that water swig. Then he
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: went to Bill Belichick.
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: He said, all you got to do is just, you
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: just got to mumble a lot of notes. Then he
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: went to Dabo, and Dabo said, well, man, you just
• 30:25
  Speaker 5: got to read your Wikipedia page.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: Out loud a lot. Oh, man. Speaking of Belichick, Belichick
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: did say, I was talking to Finney about this earlier,
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: he did say this week at his presser that Edwards
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: will start this week against Notre Dame. That's a new game.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: against Notre Dame in chapel hill where to fit daddy
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: may be in attendance on a Saturday fit. Are you
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: you're totally out on, on Edwards.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: Now it just, it screams to me, Mac, that they're
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: going to exhaust this probably until they're no longer in
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: contention to make a bowl game. which we could look
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: up in three weeks, they could be two and four
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: because the next three teams they play are all undefeated,
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: and they don't have a bye the rest of the way.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: That's why this made the most sense. Billy looked bad
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: against Clemson. You had a week off. to get your
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: next quarterback up to speed if you wanted to make
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: the move. I get in the short run. He probably
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: gives you your best chance to beat Notre Dame, but
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: let's be honest. I just hope we cover on Saturday.
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: Bro, you better get Drake May in the lineup to
• 31:29
  Speaker 5: give you your best chance. I'm not even sure that
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: would beat Notre Dame.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: No, he lost to them by like 21 on my birthday.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: That Notre Dame defense is filthy. Salty and filthy. That
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: feels very mismatched, that matchup. Let's stand by your comments.
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: If Billy Edwards beats Notre Dame, I don't want to
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: hear Billy Edwards or Heisman talk on Monday.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: Like you never said it. Maybe Billy Edwards goes out there,
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: gets beat around, throws a couple of picks, and maybe
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: they start O'Neal against Pittsburgh next week. Here's the thing, Finney,
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: and I said it before the season. I felt before
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: the season, y'all were going to play multiple quarterbacks. I'm
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: not sure you have one that is good enough to
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: take the job and be good at it For the duration.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: Well, I would maybe, Travis Burgess is the future of
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: the program.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: But this year I'm talking about.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: So I'm comfortable with him growing on the job. I
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: would have been comfortable if that would have started this week. Bone,
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: back to what you're saying.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: You can't start him against the Notre Dame defense. Why
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: can't you? Freshman, are you kidding me? Why can't you? What,
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: are you throwing him to the wolves? You want to
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: get him eaten up? Confidence destroyed?
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: No.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: That's what this kid's made of. No way, man.
• 32:36
  Speaker 6: No way.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: What were you going to say to Boney?
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: I was just going to tell Bone that if Billy
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: Edwards beats Notre Dame, I will not come in here
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: on Monday and claim he's going to win the Heisman Trophy.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: I will get waxed on the air on Monday if
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: he beats Notre Dame.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: I have a question. What are you getting waxed? Everything? Yeah.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: You've got a lot of hair except for your head.
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: I have some questions because every time something comes up lately,
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: you want to be waxed. Do you just want to
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: be waxed? Because we can arrange something for you. I
• 33:03
  Speaker 5: feel like you're– did your girlfriend tell you you're too hairy?
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: She did not. She wants that smooth fitting.
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: By the way, Matt, this is not funny, and I
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: want this taken down from the internet. I see a
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: fake on three graphic here on my timeline. That's the
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: on three top 25 practice rankings right now, and they've
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: got the Gamecocks number one. That's not right.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: That's not nice. Delete that. More on that at 7 o'clock.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: If you don't get that joke, 7 o'clock, you will
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: hear what Shane Beamer said to annoy South Carolina fans
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: and have himself made fun of on the internet, as
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: Bone is alluding to. All right, real quick, let's hit
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: you with a couple of other college football things. CFP
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: meetings going on today with all the leaders from all the,
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: you know, conferences and Notre Dame, of course, has to
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: be in there. They are in the middle of this
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: 30 day negotiation period bone. Reports indicate that ESPN does
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: have interest in having all the games still, even if
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: they go to 2014 playoff, which it really feels like
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: they are going to. So but they are negotiating. They
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: want to see how much money is in it. Right.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: How much is it worth our while to go to 24?
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: Can we get enough extra money per conference, per school
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: if we do that? So that's kind of what's going
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: on right now. And this Auburn story bone is wild.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: It just means more, y'all. It just means more. So
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: there is a former Auburn employee. named David Rudolph Jenrath.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: He has turned himself into authorities, Bone. He has been arrested.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: He is accused of stealing trade secrets from the Auburn
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: Tigers and sending them to their competitors, according to court records.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: The police report did not identify the schools that received
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: the stolen information, Bone. Oh, let's see. I wonder who
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: could be possibly involved in all that stuff. You think
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: it made its way to Tuscaloosa? Roll damn dice! Listen
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: to this. 11 schools, according to on three, got its
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: recruiting information on the 2027 recruiting class and the 2029
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: recruiting class and their evaluation and who they're looking at
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: and all that stuff. Several of the 11 schools sent
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: it back to Auburn and said, bro, your guy gets
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: your guy. He's sending us this stuff. We don't want it.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: That's when you know you stink. When teams don't even
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: want the cheating information. They're like, we can beat y'all
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: without this. Don't get us involved.
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm sure if that was Saban at Bama and
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: they were having that problem, they wouldn't be sending it
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: back and saying, Mr.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: Saban, you have a leak in the system. They'd be like,
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: oh my God, we've got intel.
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: 100%.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: If somebody from Georgia in the current times sends this
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: to 11 schools, I bet they'd take a gander at it.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: But with Auburn, it's like, I don't even want to
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: look at this. Don't implicate me. We got them covered.
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: Shane Beamer, you better not send that information back, buddy.
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: You better steal all you can right now, pal. Not
• 35:59
  Speaker 5: sure Shane Beamer is going to be around to play Auburn, though, Bone.
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: But recruiting, I guess. Well, no, he probably ain't recruiting.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: I know. It's a long way off. Poor Beams. It
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: sucks because I like him, but right now it's... Do
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: you still like him, though, Bone? You have turned on him.
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: I like him as a person, but he's obviously... He's
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: waffling right now up on that podium. He's waffling.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: It's not personal. It's business for you, Bone? Yeah. It's
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: official Gamecock business right now when you go after him.
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: I don't root for teams that don't win a whole lot.
• 36:29
  Speaker 5: Besides a lot of my teams, I don't win a
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: whole lot. Don't list them, please. When we come back
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: here on the Mac and Bone radio program, the latest
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: bad Panthers injury news leads to some roster reshuffling, and
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: Coach Canales talks about the struggling run game.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: On our side of it, it's about finding the run
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: game that will fit us. And we're in a deep
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: dive right now looking at the concepts that we want
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: to lean into. We know how to protect those things
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: and have compliments around them, but we're finding the identity
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: of this group together and it's first down efficiency. We're
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: not going to stubbornly just try to run the ball
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: just to run the ball. It's a balanced thing. And
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: for the first two weeks, we found a lot of
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: efficiency throwing the ball. And so The point of the
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: game is to make yards and score points, and we
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: did that the first two weeks. We were still able
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: to score on five drives yesterday, which is if you're
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: balanced and you make the right decisions, that's a good
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: enough recipe to win the game, but it wasn't to
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: the standard of what we're expecting from our offense. So
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: we'll clue in and get the run game so we
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: can be more balanced, make sure we're in those second
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: and medium so the whole call sheet is wide open
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: for Rad, and that's where it starts right there.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: That is Coach Canales on Panther Talk on the Panther
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: Radio Network the other night talking about this run game.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: And the second half had finally got going, but it
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: has been inconsistent at best so far this season. And
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: we have been heavily tilted towards the pass. He said
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: something in there that I thought was interesting, Fit. He
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: is famous for saying he wants to be stubborn with
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: the run game, wants to be stubborn with the run game.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: He literally said in that clip, We don't want to
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: be stubborn with the run game, you know, alluding to
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: Bryce and the way the passing game has been working
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: this season. This is a shift in mindset. This is,
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: and I really do think it is because I think
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: Bryce has gained his trust, and I think they are
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: very comfortable giving the bulk of the weight to Bryce Young.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: With that said, I do think we need more balance.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: I do. I think you make Bryce's job harder. Plus,
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: if you had two great tackles, if we had our
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: starting tackles, it might be one thing, y'all, but when
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: you don't have your starting tackles and these guys are
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: struggling to pass protect, when you're one-dimensional, it's a lot
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: easier for those edges to just go after your QB, man.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: You know, when he said that, I wondered how many
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: people are going to pick that up because the first.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: two years, Mac, we played audio of him in the
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: preseason training camp. We're going to be stubborn about running
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: the football. Remember when he got hired, the people from
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: Tampa tell us that was his message. You got into
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: game flow and he wanted to throw it. It's also, Mac,
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: how much of that is being analytically driven too? Because
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: we listen to Greg Olson. He'll tell you that you
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: should throw the ball on first down. it makes more
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: sense to throw the ball on first down run on
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: second down. I wonder how much of that maybe has
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: been incorporated in the evolution of the offense, but regardless, Mac,
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: I trust Bryce and I'm comfortable with him throwing the football.
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: He can't throw it 48 times a week in week out. No,
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: especially as, as compromised as, as it's watching Romans right now.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: He is.
• 40:14
  Speaker 5: It's probably like a bears game where the defense is
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: completely imploded and you're behind and he's got a, He's
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: got to throw the ball. Here's an interesting stat dichotomy, Mac, here.
• 40:22
  Speaker 5: Right now, through three games, the Panthers are 28th in
• 40:26
  Speaker 5: the league in rush attempts per game at 22. However,
• 40:29
  Speaker 5: they are 10th in yards per rush at 4.3. So
• 40:33
  Speaker 5: when they do run the ball, they are top 10
• 40:35
  Speaker 5: in the league in yards. They're just not doing it
• 40:38
  Speaker 5: a whole lot yet at 28.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. They've been more efficient, I think, than we would think.
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: Now, they have been inconsistent with it. Like, for example...
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: They had 10 carries for 18 yards in the first half.
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: It was horrible. But in the second half, it started
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: to make some headway.
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: When you look at the final box score, Mac, both
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: running backs averaged over four yards a carry on Sunday.
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Dylan 4 for 16. It took us a while
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: to get there.
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: It took a while. Chuba was like 19 for 84.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: Like, it got there. Even when Finney's making a point,
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: he still takes a breath. It took a while. All right, anyway,
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: let me continue. He's got a glitch.
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: But think about that.
• 41:17
  Speaker 5: They're fifth in the league in points per game, yet
• 41:20
  Speaker 5: the running game right now in attempts per game rushing-wise
• 41:23
  Speaker 5: is 28. That shows you how good, especially the first
• 41:26
  Speaker 5: two games, the passing game was.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah. There's got to be– again, my whole thing is–
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: When you try to go air Bryce and your tackles
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: are getting their asses kicked, I'm telling you that's not
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: the way to make their job easier. It's just not.
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: You've got to run the ball, and like he was saying,
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: you've got to get in the second and five. You
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: cannot be so predictable. Where you're in second and eighth,
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: third and eighth, where they know you're passing all the time,
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: they will go after Bryce constantly. So we need more balance, man.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: I'm surprised, though, that clip hasn't resulted in a lot
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: of Panther fans saying, he's a liar! Dave's a liar.
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: He told us he's going to be stubborn with the run.
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: Now he's not stubborn with the run. I do think
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: it does have a lot to do with trust of
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: Bryce now. I don't think Bone, they fully trusted Bryce
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: early on. I think they wanted to, you know what
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, run game, defense, make it easy on Bryce.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: I think they now realize he can handle a lot
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: more of a load now. Yeah, big time, man.
• 42:27
  Speaker 5: You got your Dave's a liar text coming through. Oh,
• 42:28
  Speaker 5: there are some. Okay, anyway, I'm sorry. He's just a
• 42:30
  Speaker 5: rah-rah word salad guy. He just says things people want
• 42:33
  Speaker 5: to hear.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: That's coming through now. Okay. I'm not sure that's what
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: people want to hear. I don't know. I think most
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: people want to hear we're going to be stubborn about
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: running it. He's like, we're not going to be stubborn.
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: We're not going to bang our head into a wall.
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: But to your point, Bone, the run play, the run
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: plays have been efficient. It hasn't been consistent and they
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: haven't run it, you know, a ton at all. All right.
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: So let's talk about the roster changes yesterday. Panthers have
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: not commented. They were off yesterday. So there was no
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: media sessions or anything. They have not commented on the
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: Damian Lewis reports, but it definitely sounds like he'll be
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: out this week. And with the elbow injury, and then
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: we'll see after the bye if he can get back
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: out there. But they have done some shuffling, which seems
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: to indicate, yeah, Damian Lewis probably ain't playing because they've
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: announced that guard Torricelli Simpkins has been signed off their
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: practice squad. He has been promoted to the active roster bone.
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: He is replacing John Mehta, who was just called up
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: last week. actually had the forced fumble bone on that
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: kickoff to start the second half, but he has been
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: replaced on the roster. Cam Gill, linebacker, offensive lineman, Isaiah Glass,
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: they're back on the practice squad. Chandler Zavala, released from
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: the roster entirely, released completely. from the practice squad. Right now,
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of Panther fans saying, hey, we still
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: had him.
• 43:59
  Speaker 5: Tor Selye, a local guy also in multiple ways. Olympic
• 44:02
  Speaker 5: High School, he's a Charlotte guy, went to North Carolina Central,
• 44:06
  Speaker 5: and he was a Gamecock in 2024. So all the
• 44:09
  Speaker 5: local ties there. for Torricelli Simpkins. So, you know, that's
• 44:13
  Speaker 5: going to mean a lot to him to be a
• 44:14
  Speaker 5: part of this with his ties here locally.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: This texter says, Chuba is not a Gibbs. I've seen
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: a lot of attacks on Chuba lately. Blown. Hey now!
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: Please don't call me T-Blown. T-Blown. Anyway, let me move
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: along as quickly as possible. Like Bryce running from a
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: pass rush. Let me get Ag away from the scene
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: of that one. But anyway, I've seen a lot of
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: it on like Panther's Twitter, some on the text line
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: of people talking about Chuba. He's not an elite back.
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: We need an elite back and stuff like that. And
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: I don't think anybody would ever try to compare him
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: to Gibbs. I'm pretty sure he himself is. would not
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: compare himself to a running back that is dynamic like
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: Jameer Gibbs. I think the problem is, Bone, I think
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: they were hoping the Thunder and Lightning tandem would take place.
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: I think they were hoping that Chuba could run physical
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: like he does. His longest rush is 38 yards. He's
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: not some sort of big play guy. But I think
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: they were really hoping that Brooks could give them more
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: of that quickness and big play ability. And even when
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: he was in their bone, it wasn't really working out
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: that way, except on the big pass play. And now
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: he's injured again. Also, do you know who's not Jameer Gibbs, Matt?
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: Most of the league also. It's not just Shuba.
• 45:26
  Speaker 5: There's very few Jameer Gibbs, both in the pass game
• 45:31
  Speaker 5: and obviously the run game. This guy is as good
• 45:34
  Speaker 5: as anybody in football right now. Matt, do you think that...
• 45:36
  Speaker 5: When you look at Gibbs, I always think that when
• 45:40
  Speaker 5: we think about the 90s players, we think of Emmitt
• 45:43
  Speaker 5: and Barry and the records they had. I always think
• 45:46
  Speaker 5: Thurman Thomas kind of gets lost in that shuffle a
• 45:49
  Speaker 5: little bit there. I definitely think that the combo of
• 45:51
  Speaker 5: Jameer Gibbs, there's a Thurman Thomas element there where he
• 45:55
  Speaker 5: may have 20 yards in a game rushing, but he
• 45:58
  Speaker 5: may go for 120 receiving in a game.
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: So versatile. That's the problem with that guy. He's similar
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: in that respect to Bijon. They're not completely the same
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: style or size or anything like that, but I really
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: think the Panthers playing against Bijon, I think that can
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: help them. I think they're going to try to treat Gibbs,
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: the dual threat, in a similar fashion. The problem is, though, Bone...
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: They don't have those scrubinos at quarterback. They got Jared Goff. Yeah.
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: And they have, you know, and so Jared Goff can
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: make use of all his other weapons where in Atlanta
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: they really could not when we played them. Anyway, this
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: texter says Chuba is two yards in a cloud of dirt.
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: He's 4.5 yards a carry this year, going back to Bones' point. Like,
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: I don't think Chuba's been bad. It's just, again, the.
• 46:47
  Speaker 5: Problem— Like, the first game, he only had 10 carries,
• 46:50
  Speaker 5: but if he would have had 20 carries, he probably
• 46:52
  Speaker 5: hits 100 yards in the game.
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: He had 49 yards in the first game. Yeah, yeah,
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: I'll take carries. He's 4.5 yards a carry is a
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: really good number, and we'll see. I mean, if Brooks
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: can't be a factor this year, there's a very good chance, Bone,
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: they go out and try to replace him. And try
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: to get more of a big play explosive back in
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: the offseason. Jaden Ball. You know? This guy says, let
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: me see more A.J. Dillon. I'm with that. I'm definitely
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: not with all this dissing of Chuba. I think he's
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: been good this year. But A.J. Dillon came in and
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: kind of opened things up in the run game. Like,
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: they then put Chuba in. Things were easier for Chuba. So,
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind a little bit more Dillon. Five carries.
• 47:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: You know, six carries, something like that.
• 47:32
  Speaker 5: And I said last week, he might be a great
• 47:34
  Speaker 5: guy as the game goes along and the defense gets tired.
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: If they have to tackle A.J. Dillon in the third
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: and fourth quarter, that's going to be a problem. No
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: one wants that.
• 47:43
  Speaker 5: So maybe, Matt, he may not maybe get a ton
• 47:45
  Speaker 5: of carries early, but as the game goes along, maybe
• 47:48
  Speaker 5: you deploy more of, all right, we're going to wear
• 47:50
  Speaker 5: and tear this. We're going to ground and pound this
• 47:52
  Speaker 5: defense down a little bit with A.J.
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: Dillon. Yeah. I could see his role a little bit more.
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: Texter wants Waller and two tight end sets more. Hell,
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: I want more. That's weather man Mark waking up. Oh,
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: is it Mark? I want more three tight end sets.
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: They only four, only 4% three tight end sets the
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: other day, like with Coker and XL injured. I feel
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: like that should be more of a go-to plus helps
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: your tackles out. Maybe you can just pound a football
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: and then hit them with some play action to the
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: tight ends. Those tight ends give me a little bit
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: of hope. I don't know if I'm going to regret
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: this bone. I don't know if I'm going to regret
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: having some hope about the tight end position in Carolina
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: post Greg Olson, but those dudes all played key roles
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: the other day without the receivers. No doubt.
• 48:32
  Speaker 5: By the way, Weatherman Mark, while you're here, we need
• 48:34
  Speaker 5: to break the news to you in case you missed it.
• 48:36
  Speaker 5: You've been benched for the pep talk on Friday.
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: Are you really going through with that, Coach Bone? I've
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: already found our next pet fucker. You got somebody? That's
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: not because Mark wasn't great.
• 48:45
  Speaker 5: It's all about trying to change the dynamic.
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: What is the guy you found?
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: His name is BP from HP. He sent in a
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: phone call to Willie on a post game.
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: This is the guy we need. So are you recruiting
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: him or has he applied for the job?
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: I told him he was in the running but was
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: the clear front runner. If I have the power to
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: make the decision, this guy is going to get us
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: ready to go.
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: Okay, can we play? We've got to play his audio
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: maybe at some point. We can make that happen, big guy. Yeah,
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: we've got to take a little listen on the air.
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: I did. This is a serious role. We wouldn't just
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: throw anybody in. that role. No, this is serious. We
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: wouldn't let Sir Loin blab on and say the same
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: things and scream 35-17. That's the thing. Loin got how
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: much rope? How many losses did Sir Loin scream before? Ten.
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: And kept coming, oh, there's way more than that or no?
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: God forbid we change the culture around here. Losing is
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: not acceptable. We're not going to put up with it.
• 49:38
  Speaker 4: Ugh.
• 49:40
  Speaker 5: We come back on the Mac and Bone show on
