- 1:01Speaker 3: I failed French stro So I only got so much.
- 1:03Speaker 3: I can't go too deep in this conversation.
- 1:05Speaker 1: Failed that you failed the class I did?
- 1:07Speaker 3: I failed well for me, I did fail it for
- 1:09Speaker 3: the whole year, but there was like a quarter or
- 1:11Speaker 3: a semester. I don't remember where I might have I
- 1:14Speaker 3: might have, Yeah, I might have failed it. It didn't
- 1:16Speaker 3: didn't come easy to me.
- 1:17Speaker 2: Strow.
- 1:19Speaker 1: Okay, it's a hard language. I studied it for a month.
- 1:22Speaker 1: You know. Part of why I was gone is I
- 1:24Speaker 1: did this partnership with Kaplan Languages Group and they were
- 1:28Speaker 1: very kind and let me study abroad in an immersive
- 1:31Speaker 1: environment for a month. And I do feel like I
- 1:34Speaker 1: learned a lot. But it is it's a tough language.
- 1:37Speaker 1: So I'm going to give you some grade.
- 1:38Speaker 2: Is Parish is Paris like your favorite city.
- 1:43Speaker 1: I do love Paris, you know, but for this trip
- 1:45Speaker 1: I was in the South of France. Oh I really
- 1:47Speaker 1: got to like do summer the right way, go to
- 1:50Speaker 1: the beach every day, just you know, all all of
- 1:53Speaker 1: those things travel along the South of France, so I
- 1:57Speaker 1: you know, public transportation there's pretty easy. So I could
- 1:59Speaker 1: just go to the train station and in thirty minutes
- 2:02Speaker 1: being a different city. Or I went to Monaco a
- 2:05Speaker 1: couple of times, so did the whole coast there of
- 2:09Speaker 1: the South of France.
- 2:10Speaker 3: God, Monico must have been awesome. I say, I seed
- 2:13Speaker 3: all the shots during the race. It's God, that looks
- 2:16Speaker 3: like that looks like heaven.
- 2:18Speaker 2: Man, I really enjoy it.
- 2:20Speaker 1: You know, Monico is so small, so if you go there,
- 2:23Speaker 1: you can see the see most of what you want
- 2:26Speaker 1: to see in a couple hours. But it's definitely different
- 2:28Speaker 1: when it's it's not you know, f one race weekend.
- 2:32Speaker 1: But I will say even if you're visiting, like you
- 2:34Speaker 1: can see some of the turns, it's always they I'll
- 2:37Speaker 1: send you some video.
- 2:38Speaker 2: Afterwards so you can see.
- 2:40Speaker 3: Yeah, now, did you experience the World Cup fever when
- 2:43Speaker 3: you were there? A couple of Texters think you came
- 2:46Speaker 3: back because they were going crazy when they lost to
- 2:49Speaker 3: Spain and you had to get out of the country.
- 2:51Speaker 2: I don't think that's the way it worked.
- 2:53Speaker 3: Did you, Like, were you around like them having the
- 2:56Speaker 3: World Cup fever at all?
- 2:58Speaker 1: Yeah? No, I have to say it was really an
- 3:01Speaker 1: awesome experience to I mean, obviously being in a match
- 3:05Speaker 1: here is the way to go, but to be in Europe,
- 3:08Speaker 1: to be in France and to be able to go
- 3:10Speaker 1: out when they were playing some of their World Cup
- 3:13Speaker 1: matches was just the coolest experience being a sports person
- 3:17Speaker 1: and just seeing like what it means there and meant to,
- 3:21Speaker 1: you know, in that instance, meant to the country of France.
- 3:24Speaker 1: And so like we went out for one of the
- 3:26Speaker 1: matches and if you didn't have a seat at any
- 3:28Speaker 1: of the bars, like on that street. Everyone just filled
- 3:31Speaker 1: up the entire street. I was just watching and the
- 3:33Speaker 1: barber put like TVs on the outside so everyone could
- 3:36Speaker 1: just see. And it was people were climbing like up
- 3:38Speaker 1: the window and sitting on the like on the window sill.
- 3:41Speaker 2: It was. It was the whole thing.
- 3:43Speaker 1: But I loved seeing that atmosphere and really getting a
- 3:46Speaker 1: chance to say, Oh, this is this is what it
- 3:49Speaker 1: means to you guys.
- 3:50Speaker 3: That's awesome. See, that's what I was thinking. You had
- 3:53Speaker 3: to be experiencing that. Ashley Stroline is with us back
- 3:56Speaker 3: from the vacation to France and now back with her
- 3:59Speaker 3: guys Mac and Bone, although Bone isn't here. Now a
- 4:02Speaker 3: lot has happened Stro since we last had you on
- 4:04Speaker 3: this show. A very interesting trade that you can that
- 4:10Speaker 3: you we need your perspective on happen because LaMelo ball
- 4:14Speaker 3: ends up in Minnesota, Uh, the other place where you have,
- 4:19Speaker 3: you know, broadcast to some games on the Timberwolves network.
- 4:22Speaker 3: I need to know, Stro did that feel weird seeing
- 4:25Speaker 3: LaMelo go from the city where you live, where you
- 4:28Speaker 3: covered a lot of his games to another place where
- 4:31Speaker 3: you cover games?
- 4:32Speaker 2: So is that weird for you?
- 4:33Speaker 1: Well, this is how it would go for me, obviously,
- 4:36Speaker 1: being in France, I was six hours ahead, so I
- 4:38Speaker 1: would go to sleep and then I would wake up
- 4:40Speaker 1: to like complete chaos. I feel like throughout all the
- 4:43Speaker 1: you know, the NBA trades and all the all the movement,
- 4:46Speaker 1: and one day I was just you know, out, I
- 4:49Speaker 1: was actually getting a manicure, and all of a sudden,
- 4:51Speaker 1: I'm like, my phone's going off, but it's like tons
- 4:54Speaker 1: of people from Charlotte and I'm like, oh my god,
- 4:57Speaker 1: the LaMelo trade happened. He's I mean, look at my
- 4:59Speaker 1: phone to know where he's going and what has happened.
- 5:02Speaker 1: And so I get done there and I look and
- 5:04Speaker 1: I'm just like, you know, some people were blaming me
- 5:07Speaker 1: or they were like, we know you had something done
- 5:09Speaker 1: with this, so I it was it wasn't just like oh, Stro,
- 5:12Speaker 1: what's your perspective? It was like, were you in on
- 5:15Speaker 1: these conversations? Like first you now LaMelo, what's going on here?
- 5:19Speaker 3: So I'm not going to lie, Stro. I have a
- 5:21Speaker 3: list of like things that I'm trying to bring up
- 5:24Speaker 3: with you. And the next question was you did not
- 5:26Speaker 3: broke her this seal? Did you?
- 5:29Speaker 2: You know?
- 5:29Speaker 1: I wish I was that that cool to be like
- 5:32Speaker 1: in the war room, like talking about trades or you
- 5:35Speaker 1: know what we should do. But but no, I literally
- 5:38Speaker 1: just tried to enjoy in less in Europe and my
- 5:40Speaker 1: world's collided, and every day there was a new trade.
- 5:43Speaker 1: Something was happening and something was changing. So it is.
- 5:47Speaker 1: It is crazy perspective, and I couldn't believe that it happened.
- 5:51Speaker 1: But as far as like the Timberwolves and Lamello, that's
- 5:54Speaker 1: someone they've had there. Yes, you know, their eye on
- 5:56Speaker 1: for a long time. They really like him, they like
- 5:59Speaker 1: what he brings is I think they feel like he's
- 6:02Speaker 1: going to help their team in a lot of ways,
- 6:05Speaker 1: and I think they feel like they can unlock some
- 6:07Speaker 1: new levels to his game as well. In Minnesota, I
- 6:12Speaker 1: can't imagine like him and Aunt next season. They both
- 6:15Speaker 1: play with so much joy. They're both very charismatic players,
- 6:19Speaker 1: and so just I can't wait to see their chemistry
- 6:22Speaker 1: and just that dynamic.
- 6:24Speaker 3: Don't be too excited, we lost LaMelo here, don't be
- 6:26Speaker 3: too excited.
- 6:27Speaker 1: Naz read and NOAs is great and amazing, and I
- 6:32Speaker 1: love his story, just how he's worked so hard to
- 6:34Speaker 1: be where he's at and just you're gonna love covering
- 6:37Speaker 1: him as well. So yeah, let me shout out what
- 6:39Speaker 1: we're talking about it.
- 6:40Speaker 2: Thank you for throwing that in there. Stro. We have
- 6:42Speaker 2: another texture that has a theory.
- 6:44Speaker 3: The reason why they have been looking at adding Lamela
- 6:47Speaker 3: for two years is they have a reporter friend that
- 6:50Speaker 3: has given them intel on LaMelo ball.
- 6:52Speaker 2: So there you go. You're being accused of all kinds of.
- 6:56Speaker 1: I can't win. I can't win.
- 6:58Speaker 2: Welcome back, Welcome back to America and Charlotte.
- 7:02Speaker 1: Do I need to am I exiled?
- 7:03Speaker 2: Do I need to go back over sea?
- 7:07Speaker 3: Somebody called you minnestroda. That is your Minnesota persona of
- 7:11Speaker 3: according to a text. I don't know if that's gonna stack.
- 7:13Speaker 3: I don't know if that's sticking, sticking or not.
- 7:15Speaker 2: All right? True?
- 7:16Speaker 3: So a lot a lot is happening, Bone, and I
- 7:19Speaker 3: wish he was here to talk to you about this.
- 7:21Speaker 3: Has adopted a puppy, have you You've probably seen the
- 7:23Speaker 3: pictures or have you not.
- 7:25Speaker 1: I did get a text from him about it too, Yes,
- 7:27Speaker 1: he did text me right when it happened.
- 7:29Speaker 3: Okay, so this dog is stressing him out. I don't
- 7:32Speaker 3: think he was prepared. Fitty feel free to chime in
- 7:34Speaker 3: on this, fy Finny and I are worried that these
- 7:37Speaker 3: two may break up, and we want this to work
- 7:39Speaker 3: out for the two of them. We don't think he
- 7:41Speaker 3: quite because he had make Queen Mabel right, she was
- 7:44Speaker 3: the easiest dog in the world. I'm starting to think
- 7:46Speaker 3: she watched after him, you know what I mean, It
- 7:48Speaker 3: wasn't the other way around. So now he's gone to
- 7:51Speaker 3: this crazy puppy. Just this morning, he too, he tore
- 7:54Speaker 3: up one of Bone's Douke cats, which is actually kind
- 7:56Speaker 3: of making tar Heel fans laugh. But like he's like
- 7:59Speaker 3: the dog is like he comes in with all these
- 8:01Speaker 3: marks on his arm, the dog scratching and biting him.
- 8:04Speaker 2: What would like, have you ever had a puppy?
- 8:07Speaker 1: Like?
- 8:08Speaker 3: I hope Bone can stick it out. But it's not
- 8:10Speaker 3: for a week raising a puppy.
- 8:13Speaker 1: It is not. I was gonna ask how old?
- 8:15Speaker 2: How old is the pup?
- 8:16Speaker 1: He's going close to the stages.
- 8:18Speaker 2: I think, close to one, I think.
- 8:22Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I mean it's actually this is not
- 8:26Speaker 1: exactly the same. But I saw a lady on social
- 8:29Speaker 1: media posts like she just had gotten a new puppy,
- 8:32Speaker 1: and she's like, every time I come home, I have
- 8:34Speaker 1: to make sure that I'm outside because the puppy just
- 8:37Speaker 1: you know, ends up using the bathroom everywhere because he
- 8:39Speaker 1: gets so excited. So there's a lot of things. I
- 8:41Speaker 1: think when you get a puppy, in the beginning, you're like, oh,
- 8:44Speaker 1: this is so cute, it's so sweet, and then you
- 8:46Speaker 1: realize you are trying to break it of all of
- 8:50Speaker 1: its bad habits or teaches some manners, especially if it's
- 8:53Speaker 1: going to be in the house. So I think I
- 8:55Speaker 1: think these are just growing pains that maybe they're going
- 8:58Speaker 1: to have.
- 8:58Speaker 2: To get a fight.
- 8:59Speaker 1: Maybe he can. Yeah, you and you got to get
- 9:02Speaker 1: the pro truss.
- 9:03Speaker 3: You got to get the pro triers. You got to
- 9:05Speaker 3: I know, we had to get that when our dogs
- 9:07Speaker 3: were young. Stro I think what's going on is similar
- 9:10Speaker 3: to missus Mac when she was courting me so aggressively
- 9:14Speaker 3: when we when we first met. I think I was
- 9:17Speaker 3: the cute puppy and then she realized, oh my god,
- 9:20Speaker 3: this is a pain in the rear end, you.
- 9:21Speaker 2: Know what I mean.
- 9:22Speaker 3: But now she's stuck with me, and she eventually trained me,
- 9:25Speaker 3: eventually trained me and broke me in.
- 9:26Speaker 2: You know, all right, look did you go now? Bone?
- 9:30Speaker 3: Now the Texters want the next part of Bone's story
- 9:33Speaker 3: to be told. Bone is off because he is and
- 9:36Speaker 3: I can say this. Some people think I I like
- 9:39Speaker 3: told too much earlier. He has said this on the
- 9:41Speaker 3: air this week, and he has talked about this young lady.
- 9:44Speaker 3: He is on a trip with Tara, a girl that
- 9:47Speaker 3: he has been seeing. They're going to Nashville. So but
- 9:50Speaker 3: but but Fitty told me, there's what there's travel news, Fitty,
- 9:53Speaker 3: what's what's the issue here?
- 9:55Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 9:55Speaker 4: Bone texted me as we were coming back from the
- 9:57Speaker 4: last break leg cramp an hour in he has been
- 10:03Speaker 4: moved to the passenger seat of the vehicle after an.
- 10:07Speaker 2: Hour of driving.
- 10:10Speaker 3: I can relate to that. That's my seat when we
- 10:12Speaker 3: go on road trips. What do you think, though? Are
- 10:14Speaker 3: you excited for the Bone man here? This is a
- 10:16Speaker 3: big development stroll you see, I leave again.
- 10:19Speaker 1: I leave the country for just four weeks a month
- 10:22Speaker 1: and everything changes here.
- 10:24Speaker 2: I'm still single, not everything.
- 10:32Speaker 1: Okay, So I take it. I mean, have we had
- 10:36Speaker 1: some good single moments or or no? No?
- 10:39Speaker 3: He dog sat for me when I went on a cruise.
- 10:42Speaker 3: That had to be a time of your life. Fitty. Oh,
- 10:47Speaker 3: poor fiddy man, poor fiddy. But good for Bone and
- 10:51Speaker 3: you're for bone.
- 10:51Speaker 1: I can't wait to hear. I mean, if you're if
- 10:53Speaker 1: you're taking a trip together, I feel like that's a
- 10:58Speaker 1: certain level of serious and if it's the first trip,
- 11:02Speaker 1: it's gonna let you learn a lot about each other,
- 11:05Speaker 1: so you to come back being like Okay, I can
- 11:08Speaker 1: do this, or you might have a few questions. So
- 11:11Speaker 1: I can't wait to hear.
- 11:12Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah it goes yeah, yeah. We got to
- 11:14Speaker 3: get the details on that. One Eurovision man says, maybe
- 11:18Speaker 3: missus Mack needs to train Murphy the puppy. If she
- 11:21Speaker 3: could work, she can turn me into a functioning husband.
- 11:24Speaker 3: And I only function, all right, not much more than that.
- 11:27Speaker 3: Maybe there is a chance, all right, So now we
- 11:30Speaker 3: need to go to what my situation.
- 11:34Speaker 2: I have gotten back.
- 11:35Speaker 3: I've gotten bashed yet again Strow because we got on
- 11:39Speaker 3: a crew. We went on a cruise from Port Canaveral,
- 11:41Speaker 3: a road tribbing cruise. The whole family had a blast.
- 11:43Speaker 3: Everybody had fun, and I've getten bashed again because, as
- 11:48Speaker 3: is customary, my wife did all the driving and people
- 11:51Speaker 3: cannot believe that we drove. It was nineteen total hours
- 11:54Speaker 3: stro because of traffic and stuff there and back fitty
- 11:59Speaker 3: looking at me, and she drove y'all every minute of
- 12:02Speaker 3: nineteen hours. I offered to drive, Nope, don't need it,
- 12:06Speaker 3: want to keep driving eight and my son offered to drive. Nope,
- 12:10Speaker 3: I'm just gonna keep driving. Do you find that now
- 12:14Speaker 3: we find out bones in the passenger seat? Do you
- 12:17Speaker 3: find it like weird? Like and I don't want to pry.
- 12:21Speaker 3: I don't want to pry in your personal life, stroke,
- 12:23Speaker 3: but do you I don't know your situations, Jeff, you
- 12:25Speaker 3: do you find that weird that the woman wants to
- 12:28Speaker 3: do that much driving?
- 12:31Speaker 1: I mean, I think if everyone in your situation, if
- 12:34Speaker 1: everyone genuinely offered and meant it and she said no,
- 12:39Speaker 1: then she just apparently likes to drive. Some people like
- 12:43Speaker 1: to drive. I do not. Okay, I would not drive
- 12:46Speaker 1: all nineteen hours, and I would not want that to
- 12:48Speaker 1: be the requirement of us taking a vacation. So I
- 12:51Speaker 1: just don't like driving, though, Like living in Charlotte spoiled me.
- 12:55Speaker 1: We don't have to drive that far to get what
- 12:57Speaker 1: we need in this city, so I to me, sometimes
- 13:01Speaker 1: a thirty minute drive feels like yeah, a few hours
- 13:04Speaker 1: and I hate it, you know, So.
- 13:06Speaker 3: No, that makes sense. I now here's the thing. I
- 13:09Speaker 3: don't know how people are gonna respond. Now, some people
- 13:12Speaker 3: will say, mac dude, that's awesome, Like you're like driving
- 13:15Speaker 3: on road trip sucks. You get to just like I
- 13:18Speaker 3: sit there strow, I was watching World Cup games on
- 13:20Speaker 3: my phone and my wife's doing the drive. I'm like,
- 13:22Speaker 3: I like it, you know what I mean, Like I
- 13:25Speaker 3: can just do the lame stuff I want to do
- 13:28Speaker 3: and not have any responsibility. But a lot of people
- 13:31Speaker 3: are just like, you know, I'm the guy I drive.
- 13:33Speaker 3: I mean, it's twenty twenty six.
- 13:35Speaker 1: Man.
- 13:36Speaker 3: Every time I saw somebody like at like a like
- 13:38Speaker 3: a restaurant where we stopped at or or eat, like,
- 13:41Speaker 3: I would say, oh, there's another woman driving, you know
- 13:44Speaker 3: what I mean. It's not like trying to explain that
- 13:46Speaker 3: I'm not the only husband that just sits there in
- 13:49Speaker 3: the passenger seats.
- 13:50Speaker 1: Stro all right, Look, it's about what works for you
- 13:54Speaker 1: and your wife, So you can't let the outside noise
- 13:58Speaker 1: bother you. If she is good with it and and
- 14:01Speaker 1: genuinely means that, then she just likes to be in
- 14:04Speaker 1: control and drive, and that's okay. Like maybe she doesn't
- 14:07Speaker 1: want maybe she'sn't like you're driving.
- 14:10Speaker 3: I don't know that's and she she's not alone. My
- 14:15Speaker 3: mother for years didn't like riding with me. This is
- 14:17Speaker 3: a pattern. I scare the women. My daughter Caitlin doesn't
- 14:21Speaker 3: like driving like.
- 14:21Speaker 1: I got her strategy. Maybe it's strategy. You got to
- 14:25Speaker 1: watch those World Cup matches.
- 14:27Speaker 2: I know.
- 14:27Speaker 3: I wish I could say I've been playing chess y'all
- 14:29Speaker 3: and acted like I'm a bad driver so that my
- 14:31Speaker 3: wife takes the wheel.
- 14:32Speaker 2: I can watch all these things.
- 14:34Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, I wish I could say I was
- 14:36Speaker 3: that smart. Oh man, All right, stro Well, what so
- 14:40Speaker 3: what do you got going on now that you're back
- 14:41Speaker 3: in Charlotte? What do you got happen? I mean, I
- 14:43Speaker 3: know it can't beat it can't beat the beaches of France.
- 14:46Speaker 3: What's What's what's you got happening?
- 14:47Speaker 2: Stroe?
- 14:49Speaker 1: You know, I am a little sad not to wake
- 14:51Speaker 1: up every day and have the option of going to
- 14:53Speaker 1: the beach. But I'm very happy to be back. I
- 14:55Speaker 1: think a month was a good time frame to be gone.
- 14:59Speaker 1: It was a great to challenge myself to go and
- 15:02Speaker 1: try and learn a new skill. But I'm happy to
- 15:05Speaker 1: be back in Charlotte. I think I'm finally readjusted to
- 15:09Speaker 1: the time zone, and I got a chance to see
- 15:11Speaker 1: Mom and all those things. So I think now it's
- 15:14Speaker 1: just getting locked into, you know, the upcoming sports season
- 15:19Speaker 1: and all training camp.
- 15:20Speaker 3: Training camp starts first practice a week from today, Strow,
- 15:24Speaker 3: a week from you today. All right, all right, the Strow.
- 15:27Speaker 3: We appreciate you. It's awesome to have you back. Hopefully
- 15:30Speaker 3: you had fun with us. We had a fun chat
- 15:32Speaker 3: kind of updating you and on our stuff and hearing
- 15:35Speaker 3: about your trip. Welcome Backstro. I want everybody to clear
