Mac & Bone Hour 4: College Football Stock Up or Stock Down · Mac & Bone Podcast

• 0:02
  Speaker 1: I fell into a burning ring of fire. I went down, down, down,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: and the flames went higher. And it burns, burns, burns,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: the ring of fire. The ring of fire.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: It's the kind of beatdown where the Clemson football team,
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: they actually should be giving the week off from class
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: just so they don't have to show their.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Face to other students on campus.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: They should actually be confined to football facilities and bring
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: the food to them, Uber Eats and all of that.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Bring it right there.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Don't let them out. Because they shouldn't want to show
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: their face to anybody, not just on campus, but in
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: the state of South Carolina. I mean, it was that
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: kind of beatdown. I'm talking a stomp of epic proportions.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: They should stay in the football facility. Give them the
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: week off class. Don't even let them go to class because, damn.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. Stephen A. Smith. I'm sorry, Clemson fans.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, y'all. That was so bad, and everybody wants
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: a piece of Dabo. Stephen A. Tellen, I guess that
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: wasn't Dabo.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: That was just the Clemson players that he doesn't think
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: should show their faces on campus for the entire week.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Don't even go to class.
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: I don't think many athletes, Mac, have any problem with
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: that choice, though, going to class in 2026.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they like the idea. Some of them are like, really? Class?
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: What?
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: Oh, God. Poor Clemson, man. But seriously, how about you
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: schedule a non-SEC opener? My God, you are getting your
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: doors blown off to start the season every year, y'all.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: And I don't recommend Duke either, because last time you
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: played them week one, it started this whole downfall.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: That's true. I forgot about that game. Oh, my God.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: Anyway, all right, so we want to talk about college
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: football stocks, right?
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Week one. in the books.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: And maybe this is y'all texting in about your own team.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: Like maybe you're feeling really good, or maybe this is
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: y'all just wanting to rip your own team. If you're
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: a Clemson fan and you want to say, Hey, our
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: stock is, is all down here. And here's why it
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: is like let loose. If you're an angry fan at
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: your team, but if you're a happy fan, you want
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: us to talk about them. You want us to crow
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: about them a little bit, put them in, put your
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: team in the stock up category. Or if you're just
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: a college football fan, I mean, answer the question, like
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: what team do you feel like has maybe changed what
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: you think about them the most in either a positive
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: or a negative way. It's hard for Clemson not to
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: come up, Bone, when you put it that way. I
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: still feel like we've seen Clemson before have these horrendous openers.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: There was a Clemson fan yesterday that said, y'all remember,
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: we won the ACC and went to the playoff two
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: years ago after losing 30-3 to Georgia. And that's true.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: Y'all have bounced back. ACC competition will be easier. But
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: if you needed any more evidence, Bone, of how far
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: they've fallen for when they were at the top, that
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: was another example of it, man.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: It was ugly to watch.
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: I know that they are 0-1, but I was very
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: impressed with Louisville to the point where I thought SMUMAC—
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: would end up being the second-best team in the conference.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: Jennings was incredible last night, but SMU did everything in
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: their power to lose to the Noles last night, or
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: attempt to lose to the Noles. Matt, Louisville's got SMU
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: in a couple weeks.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: At home, too.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: If they get by that game, it's Wake, State, FSU, Syracuse, Stanford,
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: Georgia Tech, UNC, Pittsburgh, and Kentucky.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: If they.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: If they don't lose to SMU, they'll be favored in
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: every game the rest of the way, right? So, I mean, yes,
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: they could have two losses because SMU could be the
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: second one. How many other losses does the Ville have
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: on their schedule, though?
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah. With that offense. That's what I thought going into
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: the season. I think you're right about it. I love
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: the way Keenhole's played.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: Now, let's not act like if Jennings, like if SMU
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: plays a clean game, I think they blow out Florida State.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: The thing is, Jennings is a guy who had 13
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: picks last year. Being a Penn State fan, he self-destructed
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: in Happy Valley in that playoff game. So that's the
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: one thing with him. But if you get the good
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: version of Kevin Jennings, I mean, he did throw for 430.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: SMU did have 600-plus yards.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: But they've got to clean up their operation before that
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Week 3 game, man.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: They do have Virginia on the schedule. An additional reveal,
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: that is— Uh, that is, um, at home for SMU
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: and second, the last game at Notre Dame. So there is,
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: I think a couple of tougher ones than what Louisville
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: have post playing each other.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: The, um, the, and the Pittsburgh is a team we
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: may have to watch out for. Pittsburgh deserves a stock up.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: We may have. Yeah.
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Pittsburgh to beat by five touchdowns. Um, a team that
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: won the Mac last year, Miami of Ohio. And for
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Mason Heinschel, who had an amazing freshman year last year
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: when he took that job over, to throw for 453
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: and seven touchdowns? The last person to throw for 450,
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: seven touchdowns and no picks is Joe Burrow, for God's sakes.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Like, Joe Burrow. He, uh.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: He's a player, dude, and that's an eye-opener for the ACC.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: I'm getting a lot of texts. Somebody said the ACC
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: stock is down after this past weekend. Pitt's a team
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: who I think you look at and say... Their stock
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: went up. Louisville's a team that, yeah, they didn't win
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: the game, but to your point, Bone, I think they
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: opened our eyes up a little bit. Now, Cal didn't
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: help the ACC. Clemson certainly didn't help the ACC.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: No doubt about it. Tar Heels got an ACC, a
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: non-conference win, baby.
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: It's a new feature back called Come Clean Tuesday, where
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: I come clean about some mistakes I may have made
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: the previous weekend. I tried to tell you Miami of
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: Ohio would cover against Pittsburgh. I misfired on that by
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: a bunch. And I tried to tell you Cal, UCLA...
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: We're my two there, so I may have misfired on
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: those two there.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: So you're putting yourself stocked down? Yeah, yeah. Someone says
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: clocked down Michigan. No, it's not.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: It's stocked down, not clocked down. That's a different segment. Michigan, though,
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: there's already questions about Underwood. Winningham says he's got to
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: play better. I thought Michigan would be good. I don't
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: know about that. They got some problems here. Dude, Tommy
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: Carr might be Tommy Carr, CJ's brother, right? They're the
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: grandsons of Lloyd Carr, and he is the backup. He
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: may get that job sooner rather than later, depending on
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: how Underwood plays against that amazing Oklahoma defense.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: You're right.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Whittingham legit said he's the starter now, but it ain't infinite.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: Like you said, he has to play better. That was
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: a very lukewarm vote of confidence.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Was Underwood the No. 1 quarterback in the country when
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: he came out?
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: So he feels like he's portal-bound probably at some point, right?
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: They spent big money to keep him here this year.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: He seems like he is bust-bound. Wayne Kiffin right now
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: is thinking, what can I do with Bryce Underwood? Take
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: him at your own risk.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: He is extremely inaccurate, and I think a lot of
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: people were hoping there would be an improvement this year,
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: and his first performance was, I got to be honest,
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: he might have been worse.
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: It was not something that you could feel positive about. And, Mac,
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: the feeling I got coming out of that game wasn't,
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: this is Michigan looking ahead to their Week 2 matchup
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: with Oklahoma. Like, I watched that game and thought, oh,
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: there are some legitimate issues that may exist and that Oklahoma–
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: Maybe we'll expose in a real big way in the
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: big house on Saturday at 12 o'clock.
• 7:46
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Bryce Underwood, he'll be Charlotte's quarterback next year. That's
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: where he'll be.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: Maybe somewhere in between Lane Kiffin and Charlotte. Maybe somewhere
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: in between.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: I say stock up for this team only because of
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: where they were ranked, not because of what I thought
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: of them. but Miami entered the season number seven. Does
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: Miami Mac look like there are going to be six
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: teams better than them with that offense this year?
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: That's a stock-up performance.
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: Like Oregon, the way they played the other day, I
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: know it was a different opponent, but I said it
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: at the time, there are not six better football teams
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: than the U this year.
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: I said last night that they're the best team in
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: the country, and no one on that ACC huddle desk
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: Trying to fight back against that.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: Of course, ACC Network. Of course they're not going to
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: argue with that one. The SEC Network might argue with it.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: But listen, I thought Miami was a stock-up performance for Mensah,
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: for the entire team, for Malachi Toney, who has a
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: better quarterback this year than Carson Beck was.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: They also seem like they.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: Want him to run more routes and do more downfield,
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: where last year Malachi Toney was a lot of short
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: stuff and you go make people miss. They are dangerous, man.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: They are dangerous as all get out. But I'm going
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: to be honest with you. There wasn't a better team
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: than LSU this weekend. That performance was absolutely dominant. I mean,
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: they beat their heinies up in the trenches on both
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: sides of the ball. That Clemson offensive line had no
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: answer for those guys up front. Prince William Mound, Miellon.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: and all those guys up front. How about the backers,
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: including Whit Weeks? I mean, that defense looked amazing. The offense,
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: Levitt's healthy again. Look how good he is in this lane.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: And Lane Kiffin, he makes every quarterback he coaches better.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: That kid's going to play his best football. He already
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: was good enough two years ago to have Arizona State
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: in the playoff. He's going to play his best football
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: under Lane Kiffin. So I'm not sure stock went up
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: for anybody any more than LSU.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: He's annoying. I can't stand Lane Kiffin, but the guy
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: can coach football, man. If we're doing stock up, I
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: know that. They didn't play this weekend, but UNC Virginia up,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: NC State down, although it was a week ago. Thank
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: you for working that in for Wolfpack Mac. Still need
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: to mention them here for this segment here, though. That's right.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: Virginia's got to be way up. Richmond Spiders have something
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: coming on Friday night. I want them to know that
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: in Raleigh.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: You feel good about yourself saying that? Virginia, definitely.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: I feel like the Carolina, like Virginia, that old offensive
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: line like that, That'll play. That'll play against most of
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: their opponents. And the defense is legit. They're going to
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: wait until they get Cam Robinson back. Whereas Clemson, you
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: mean to tell me Clemson couldn't have gone out and
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: got portal offensive linemen? Bone, they played three guys a
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: ton the other night that are either freshmen or sophomores.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: Like Dabo Sweeney, I know that he opened his mind
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: up a bit to the portal with 11 guys. You
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: mean to tell me you couldn't have brought some more
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: portal offensive linemen in? Experience wins, man. Look at Lane Kiffin.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: We were all worried bone about the continuity a little bit. Oh,
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: they're 40 plus new transfers, but they've all played football.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: They've all experienced it. They're not going to be phased.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: Clemson had a lot of inexperienced guys playing.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: And it showed, man.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: Also, one of the big performers last night, Mac, the
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: wideout for Yannick Smith, right?
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: For SMU. SMU.
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: He's from Somerville, South Carolina. You don't think that Clemson
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: maybe should have looked maybe closer to home for a
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: guy like that.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: That was in the portal? Why couldn't y'all be the
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: ones to steal him from ECU? Poor ECU, man. They
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: lost ballers. ECU had some ballers, dude. Big-time ballers, dude.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: They got Peek, right? The kid Riddle at Georgia is
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: a baller. Riddle, yeah. Not peak. I'm thinking about the other. Yeah, yeah,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: you got it.
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: No, Poku. Poku, that's what I meant. Poku's at South Carolina.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: That's what I meant. I got my transfer names confused.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: I did that last week. You got to get your
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: pokus and your peeks straight. And you can't peek at
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: your poku. No, that is not good at all. That's
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: frowned upon.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: South Carolina should get a little stock up. Kendall Browse,
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: first offensive performance. It's always up for me. They put
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: up 57 points. Sellers is that efficient, missing only three passes.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: The run game, the O-line, two questions from last year.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: Now I know it's only Kent state, but I still
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: think it deserves to be mentioned. And how about the
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: performance of Darius gray? They didn't have a Jarius peak,
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: their NC state transfer left tackle. Darius gray is a
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: true freshman goes in there and plays left tackle. And again,
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: I know it's Kent state, but that dude looked.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Apart, man. No, he did.
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: I feel a lot better about the offensive line than
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: I have in previous years. The combination of play caller
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: and O-line, there's not excuses this year for sellers not
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: to put on a great performance this season. It's all
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: there for him now. The offensive line's better. Play calling's better.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: Now it's on you like you did on Saturday, and
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: it gets the better teams to do what he did then.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: I agree.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: This text, your 704 number says, I appreciate it, fellas.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: I appreciate it, fellas, for not mentioning us, but my
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: Charlotte 49er stock appears to have crashed yet again.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: That cratered through the earth. Yeah, we talked about it
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: a bunch yesterday. I hate it. I truly do hate
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: this for the local teams.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: I want.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: Fan base is engaged and happy and excited and stuff
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: like that. And I definitely want Charlotte fans in this
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: town bone to have a reason to be excited. That's
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: the complete opposite. And for poor Tim Albin, like, I
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: don't know, I mean, I don't know why I said
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: poor Tim Albin, but he just seems like the nicest guy. And,
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: you know, his two previous stops as a head coach,
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: he has stories of taking teams and dramatically improving them,
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: especially the Miami of Ohio job that he did there.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: But my God, that's a horrible way to start the
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: second season. They couldn't tackle that kid Garcia. Their defense
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: bone was brutal. As good as Gonzalez was, a lot
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: of the time, other times he's making terrible mistakes, like
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: the turnovers or missing a dude in the end zone.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: And the team they beat lost by four tutties to
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Wofford the week before. God, it's a horrible look.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: It's going to take a great effort from the Niners
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: and a poor effort from a team that allows it
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: to happen for them, Matt, to win... Not only a game,
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: but I mean, we thought, hey, can they get to
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: four or five and maybe make progress? Now looking at
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: the schedule, if you're losing to Citadel at home, you
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: can lose to anybody at any time. And I just
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: don't know. I don't know where the wins are going
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: to come from. They had one last year against Monmouth.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: That should have been their win the other day. Then
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: go from there. You saw the schedule, Meg. I just
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: don't know how to pick what games are going to
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: win right now.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I just... Maybe they get one at
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: the end if they get better, but I don't know.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Like you're saying, I find it hard to believe they're
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: going to be favored in any of them. We'll see.
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: If you can't tackle the Citadel, what's going to happen
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: when you play Navy this year, right, at the end
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: of the year? They've got to run it a million times.
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: Their schedule is a hard one for their conference. There's
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: a lot of— ECU has a much easier American conference schedule.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: Charlotte does, which is very unfortunate for Charlotte. Some of
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: these texts are cracking me up, Bone. 704 number, SEC 16-0.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: Talk to me when you're winning playoff games. That's the
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: thing with SEC stands right now. Yeah, they were 16-0,
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: and yeah, LSU was amazing, and there was a bunch
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: of routes going against terrible opponents but like y'all can't
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: y'all can't prove anything as a conference until you get
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: in the playoff and win games because you've been getting
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: your heinies handed to you in the playoff lately.
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah no doubt beef beef stick by the way max
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: the niners fan he says the only one on the

• 15:38
  Speaker 1: 47 and a half. I saw that.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: Well, they get the hook on that one then, I guess.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: Multiple texters chiming in on poor little old Clemson. Buffet
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: Enforcer says, if Clemson was a stock, the company's about
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: to file for bankruptcy.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Go get him, Tiger.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: This texter says, I'm Jeff DeBray's fan. Dabo is giving
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: me Coach Klein vibes from the water boy. He's lost
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: his manhood. Poor Dabo, man. Poor dang Dabo. And we
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: said it yesterday, and there's Tar Heel fans saying it today.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: Tar Heel fans are now calling Clemson out. Like, Tar
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: Heel fans now feel like, Finney said it yesterday. Like, hey,
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: we got a chance. against Clemson.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: And I don't, like, I almost feel like that's a
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: game now, Boney.
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: Everybody's thinking that now. Just, I mean, not that they
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: lost to LSU, but the way they lost. And they've
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: felt gettable more weightly for everybody, but now especially. I mean, they, yeah, that's, man,
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: oh man, what a tough time for Clemson. And it
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: hurts my heart. I can tell. I can tell you're struggling.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: I've been broken up over this.
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: When we come back, Ashley Strohwein joins us for her
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: weekly segment.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: And this hurts, too. Not happy with something Mac did
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: last week.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: Oh, no.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ. Sunshine. So good.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: You can.
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: Do it in the air.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Couldn't help but stare. I let you love me blind.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: Sunshine.
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: I want to bathe in your light, babe.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: All day, all night.
• 17:14
  Speaker 7: Babe, make me want to say.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: He's just upset that he is not the number one
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: Ashley in our hearts, man. Ashley Westwood is the number
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: one Ashley.
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: Oh!
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Damn! Oh.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this is being used against me now, isn't this?
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: This is being used against me. So who was I
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: talking about there on that Mac and Bone show, by
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: the way? You were talking about that guy, Mr. Ashley,
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: on the text line.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: And then I said Ashley Westwood is my favorite Ashley,
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: which should be a very, this makes this a very
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: weird time to say that Ashley Strohlein joins us.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: For the Stroh show.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: And you got narked out by Hooray Bacon, a listener
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: on Twitter.
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: Stroh, what's going on Stroh? We still good Stroh? That
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: didn't sound good, did it?
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: Well, all I have to say is thank goodness that
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: the listeners are looking out for me when I'm not
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: on the show and I'm traveling. And, you know, here
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: I am trying to prep for my week one college
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: football game. And I log on to Twitter and this
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: is the news that I'm hit with. And I had
• 18:21
  Speaker 6: to sit there and really think about it. I tried
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: to find an excuse for you. You know, I tried,
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: I tried to help you. in the situation, even though
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: you straight dissed me. And it's fine. I get it.
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: Westie's a great guy. Love him too. But I'm just saying,
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: you've known me longer.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: It was so shocking. I was speechless.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: The funny thing is neither of these two dudes ever
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: said anything about what about Stroh. Because I was just,
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: I was Stroh. I was her internally.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: I knew what happened. I gotta be honest, Stroh. I
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: didn't even think about it.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: I was basically thinking of guys named Ashley And I
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: never even went to the other side of gals named Ashley.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: That would have obviously brought you up to the top.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: But in my mind, I was just thinking of dudes
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: named Ashley. Does that make any sense?
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: Because there are so many.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: She's doing your thing, Bo.
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: I want you to know that would never happen on here.
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: You are number one on my Ashley Power Rankings. Ashley
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: Judd is second, and then Ashley Westwood is third.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Poor Westy, man. Westy needs your support after what happened
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: last week.
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: The guy that started all this, Mr. Ashley, he's not
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: ranked on my list. He's on my bottom Ashley's list.
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: This dude said, did Mac really say Mr. Ashley, a texter,
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: ranks over Stroh? I'm telling you, Stroh, in my mind,
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: Stroh wasn't even involved. And I didn't, the weirdest thing
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: is I didn't even think about female Ashleys.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Anyway.
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: Well, that's a whole nother avenue we can go down
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: off air if you want there, you know.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: You're clear.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: My favorite female Ashley Stroh and my favorite Ashley in general.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: I just, it slipped my mind.
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: Look, you can, I don't have to be number one.
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: I prefer honesty and transparency. Will you take two?
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: I think I still want to put Westy over here.
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: I literally have, um, at hooray bacon breaking the news
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: to me like that's how i found.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: Out hooray bacon you dang narc you narc of a
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: listener you this is.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: The first time mac doesn't like.

  Speaker 3: That's true. Yeah, do a ranking of the max for
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: next week's segment, and feel free to put me at, like,
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: 49th if you want to, Stro, to get revenge.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: Stro, people are asking. They want your official Panther win prediction.
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: You put us off for a while here. We're running
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: out of time. Unless you come back on the show
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: later on this week, I don't know. Stro, you need
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: to give us the win total now. We have no
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: more time left. Mm-mm.
• 20:58
  Speaker 6: I'm not going to be peer pressured. I've already been dissed.
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: I'm not number one on the list. You guys know
• 21:02
  Speaker 6: I hate doing wins and losses and predictions.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Good job, Mac. Do you? Did I diss? Yeah, good job, Mac.
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: Mm-hmm.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: That's what we're.
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: Going to do now every time I'm on the air. Mm-hmm.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: It's weird because you made that noise, and Bone, for
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: some reason, for the last week has been making that noise.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: He's trying to make that his thing, and then you
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: did the exact same thing.
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: When the show starts and Mac talks, I don't want
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: to interrupt now, so I go, mm. but i've tried
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: it three times today and mac is now above acknowledging
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: this is.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: True let me just ask the question this way to
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: you all right you counterpoint there there there are fans
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: that are excited about the season we won the division
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: last year we put up a great fight in the
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: playoff game and then we add jaylen phillips and we
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: add devin lloyd and then idzik becomes a play caller.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: Hold on. I had to sneeze. All right, I'm back.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: I'm back.
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: I was like, is everything okay?
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: What happened here? I am getting to the age where
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: you start to wonder if y'all have lost me.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: I get it.
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: I thought you were going to say you're at the
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: age where one sneezes away from being out of here.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: I think a lot of us Panther fans believe it's
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: getting better, right, by the year.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: And then there's others. Sorry about that. Sorry about that.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: All that for that sneeze? Sorry about that, Stroh. Don't
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: you sneeze like this at you. No, no, no, no.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: I'm a mad sneezer. All right. It's still messing with me.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: But anyway. You just spit out the question. What's the question?
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: I'll ask it. There's a lot. I just did spit
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: something out. I know. Hit me.
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of people that are negative. It's the
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: offensive line situation. It's the performance in the preseason situation.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: Where do you fall? Do you feel like, oh, no,
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: we can't replicate last year? Or do you feel like
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: we're going to take a step forward? What are you
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: closer to?
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: I just think it's so hard to predict anything. The
• 22:54
  Speaker 6: hope is, okay, you brought up the playoff game, right?
• 22:57
  Speaker 6: And almost winning that and winning the division and all
• 23:00
  Speaker 6: those things. And so you hope that there is positive momentum.
• 23:04
  Speaker 6: You hope that the front office made the right offseason.
• 23:07
  Speaker 6: season moves and all of those things. And, you know,
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: we can go out to practice and training camp and
• 23:12
  Speaker 6: we can take our notes and we can say all
• 23:13
  Speaker 6: these things should happen. But for me this Sunday, when
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: we take the field for a real regular season game,
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: that's going to give us a real look into what
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: this season is going to be about and what we
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: need to know. And, and, you know, it's like, I,
• 23:29
  Speaker 6: one of my games this week, I had, I had
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: a Tulane versus Duke and coach Diaz was like, Hey, look,
• 23:34
  Speaker 6: week one for us is about are we who we
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: think we are? It's really more of a test of
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: all the things that we've been working on in fall
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: camp and leading up to this moment. Can we go
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: out here and put it on the field against a
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: team that's not us going against each other in camp?
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: And that's what I think week one is about. So
• 23:51
  Speaker 6: I think after. the bears come to town and we
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: see what happens come Sunday at one o'clock. And then
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: the game is play. We can really sit down and say, Hey,
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: this looked really good or this looked really bad. And
• 24:02
  Speaker 6: this is where we are. And then go on to
• 24:04
  Speaker 6: week two and what adjustments were made off of week one.
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: That's I just hate trying to be a fortune teller
• 24:11
  Speaker 6: and a predictor and all these things. Cause I just
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: think it's really hard to tell until you see a
• 24:15
  Speaker 6: live action game.
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: Stro just coach speak That's about what she did Stro
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: So I asked you She's been hanging out With those
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: coaches I have the idea We're going to go The
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: third attempt here I asked Stro How many wins For
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: the Panthers Right Stroh, how many losses do you think?
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: I also have a degree in math. I know how
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: math works.
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: All right, back to you with the fourth effort. This
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: is the hardest win total to get out of somebody
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: since Willie P about.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: A week ago.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: This texter says we would all be in a better
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: mental space as fans if we just took the Stroh approach.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: Don't go in with any preconceived notions. Go in and
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: react as things happen. Yeah, that probably is a healthy
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: mental approach.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: I'll give you that. I'll give you that.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: Stroh, let's talk about Wake and Duke because we saw
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: you on the sidelines.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: For those two games.
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: I enjoyed, I was actually watching the pregame show last
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: Thursday night and I saw you and Kelsey Riggs on
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: the air together. I thought that was kind of a
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: cool moment to see y'all on the air together again. What, um,
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: let's talk about, uh, wake pretty darn good performance from
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: Gio Lopez in an offense that fits him. What, um,
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: was that the top takeaway for you? What were like
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: your top storylines from, from your wake, uh, game?
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: Well, definitely Gio Lopez, right? I mean, he reunited with
• 25:36
  Speaker 6: Robbie Zell, and they had so much success at South Alabama,
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: then parted ways, and it just didn't work at North
• 25:42
  Speaker 6: Carolina last year for Gio. But he has to feel good,
• 25:45
  Speaker 6: and Wake Forest has to feel good that he's there.
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: We saw the numbers that he put up. They got
• 25:49
  Speaker 6: a big win in their week one matchup, and Gio
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: was all smiles. Uh, after the game. And I think
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: also coach Dickard, I don't know if you guys have
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: had a chance to meet him at media days or
• 26:01
  Speaker 6: ever interview him, but just the enthusiasm that he has
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: for football and, and knowing like, Hey, he literally said
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: to us in our coaches meetings, like we know to
• 26:11
  Speaker 6: be successful here, we have to prepare a certain way.
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: And there are certain, you know, obstacles that we're going
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: to face because of everything that goes on with college football.
• 26:20
  Speaker 6: But he believes they can do it. And that belief
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: led them to nine and four last season and a
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: bowl win here in the Dukes Mayo Bowl. So I
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: just I love the enthusiasm and the passion that he
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: brings to that program. And I can't wait to see
• 26:32
  Speaker 6: what they do as they get on into division play.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: I love his energy, Stroh. I love that approach, too.
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: Stroh, you are also in Durham. What's the what's the
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: vibe around that? the year three for Manny Diaz. Since
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: you were in Durham and you were in Winston, were
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: there a lot of people asking about me in those
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: areas at all? Anybody ask about old Bonesy there?
• 26:53
  Speaker 6: You know, you've got fans everywhere. It's probably a good
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: thing you weren't at the game. You just have to
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: take pictures and hold babies and sign autographs.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: That's true. I do that a lot. You do that
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: a lot.
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: But the program for Duke, how good a shape are
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: they in with Manny Diaz despite a lot of changes?
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: within the program this year?
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: Well, Nate Shepard, right? Look at what he was able
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: to do coming off of his freshman season, had over
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: a thousand rushing yards. And the big conversation we had was,
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: with the coaching staff there was, okay, he's going to
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: have some adversity this season. He's got all these expectations
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: on him. How does he manage it? And then comes
• 27:30
  Speaker 6: out and has over 200 rushing yards and two touchdowns
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: and picked up right where he left off. So I think,
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: you know, all eyes are on Nate and that offense
• 27:38
  Speaker 6: and you bring in Walker Egott and who's a veteran
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: and in his last year of eligibility to kind of
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: be that veteran leadership and all those things. And so
• 27:47
  Speaker 6: I think Duke is a program that just feels disrespected.
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: They were like, we're the ACC champs and No one's
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: talked about it since we won the game. No one
• 27:55
  Speaker 6: thinks we can do anything. But for them, like Coach
• 27:59
  Speaker 6: Diaz said, I'd rather my guys feel disrespected. I'd rather
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: they play with the chip on their shoulder. And that's
• 28:03
  Speaker 6: what we've been doing, and that's what's led to success.
• 28:05
  Speaker 6: So I think that's what they're hopeful for.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: I think they're both really good coaches. I think there's
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: no doubt about that, and I'm intrigued. After their wins,
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: I'm intrigued, Bo, to see the season they might have.
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: Don't say that too loud. We want them to stick
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: around their programs.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: That's true.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: You don't want them to make that next jump. Stroh,
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: I also am a big fan of Manny Diaz's hair.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: I just think— I think he's got great hair.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: You agree, Bo? A thousand percent, yes. It's not quite
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: as good as Coach K's was.
• 28:35
  Speaker 6: We did a pre-game interview, and they did a walk-in,
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: and he's got his shades on and the hair slicked back.
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: So he sets the tone on game day with the
• 28:44
  Speaker 6: walk-in with the guys.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: I could see that. Do you have a game this weekend, Stroh?
• 28:50
  Speaker 6: I do. I'm headed to Louisville.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: She said it the right way. Stroh, we get a
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: lot of flack here. We have a texter getting on
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: us about the way we say Louisville.
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: In the flow of conversation, it's much easier for us
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: here when we're rambling to say Louisville. But the local
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: Kentuckians will often tell us, and I do believe it's
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: local to them, that we're saying it wrong. We got
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: to say, Mac, what's the proper way they want us
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: to say it?
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: You have to really slow down to say it. Stroh
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: got it. Louisville.
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: Louisville.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Louisville.
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: Louisville.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: Louisville.
• 29:23
  Speaker 6: You know, I speak that language, so it's a little
• 29:26
  Speaker 6: bit easier for me. You know, I got the accent
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: to go along with it.
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: That's a good point. If you had squirrel gravy as
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: a kid, I think you can nail Louisville. But my
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: whole thing about it, Stroh, is why do we pick
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: and choose who's a Ville and who's a Ville?
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: I feel like Greenville's Greenville. Nashville's Nashville. Or are they?
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: Or do the same people call them Greenville and Nashville?
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: Excellent point.
• 29:56
  Speaker 6: That's a great question. We need to pop up in
• 29:58
  Speaker 6: these cities and just say, what city are we in?
• 30:00
  Speaker 6: And just hit people with it and see what, we'll
• 30:03
  Speaker 6: mash up all the responses.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Work on that assignment, Stroh. Every time you're in a
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: ville or a vole, ask the people of the town,
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: are you a ville or a vole? Hit the streets
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: of the vole and ask them. Or the ville. The ville,
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: the vole. The ville vole.
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: I just feel like so much of like region, dialect, like,
• 30:19
  Speaker 6: you know, there's the whole debate. If you bring in,
• 30:22
  Speaker 6: you know, I would say Appalachia. Other people say it differently.
• 30:26
  Speaker 6: You know, there's like... I say Buchanan County. Some people
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: would say Buchanan. Like, it's just all in where you
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: grew up and how the folks who are from there
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: say it.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: Well, the one that gets me here... I think it's
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: all of the.
• 30:36
  Speaker 6: Locals and how they pronounce it, right? It's their city.
• 30:38
  Speaker 6: It's their county. It's their region.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: The one that gets me here is... I'm pretty sure, Mac,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: it should be Wingate, right? The way it looks. But
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: it's not. It looks like Wingate. Yeah, but how's it
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: said in your, what's it said? Wingate. Wingate. Wingate. How's
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: that Wingate, Stroke? I don't get that one.
• 30:55
  Speaker 6: No, that's when I did local TV here, that was
• 30:58
  Speaker 6: one where they're like, make sure you say it this way.
• 31:00
  Speaker 6: And I was like, oh, okay. I would have said
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: it wrong, you know?
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Oh, definitely. Because that's the last thing when you first
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: see it. If you're just reading that, how would you
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: know that it's Wingate?
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: This texter says, how dare you talk to Stro for
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: almost the entire segment and not let Fitty tell her
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: how his date went. That's a good call, sir.
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: I did ask in the break, so he wouldn't tell me.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: So we got to get it.
• 31:21
  Speaker 6: We got to get the update.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: What is he shy about?
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: I think he wanted to wait for it on the air. Fit,
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: tell Stro how it went. There's a lot of listeners
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: maybe that weren't listening yesterday on Labor Day that want
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: to know how it went. I got to be honest.
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: It sounds like you could be walking down the aisle soon, son.
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: I ain't trying to jinx it.
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: Well, in response to Stro not answering our question about
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: the Panthers' win total, I'll just answer the question about
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: the date like this.
• 31:48
  Speaker 7: A date was had, and the fourth date has been scheduled.
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: She's getting no details, no inside scoop, no nothing until
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: we get a Panther win total from our favorite Ashley.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: Oh, my gosh. Thanks, Stro.
• 32:05
  Speaker 6: Well, I need to know, like, how did the dance
• 32:07
  Speaker 6: moves go?
• 32:08
  Speaker 7: I didn't have to dance at all.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: That's big for you.
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: Not even one time? Oh, man.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: Stroke. Stroke, he met the parents.
• 32:16
  Speaker 6: At the party?
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: No, they were at their house. No.
• 32:20
  Speaker 7: Before the party.
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: And I found out an hour before the meet-up time
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: I was meeting the parents.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: Oh, wow.
• 32:27
  Speaker 6: How'd that make you feel?
• 32:29
  Speaker 7: I sweated through the backside of my shirt. I'm not
• 32:31
  Speaker 7: going to lie about that.
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: Oh, that dome must have been sweaty. Oh, Stroh, your
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: reaction to him meeting the parents was amazing. You were aghast.
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: That was great.
• 32:45
  Speaker 6: Genuine reaction. I was like, that's big time. Like I said,
• 32:48
  Speaker 6: if you get to meet Mama Stroh, that I must
• 32:51
  Speaker 6: feel some type of way about you as a person,
• 32:53
  Speaker 6: be it you're my friend or someone I'm dating or whatever.
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: Can we tell the joke that you made that the
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: mom didn't know how to respond to when she said
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: you've got a voice for radio and what did you say?
• 33:04
  Speaker 7: I thought I had a face for it, too.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: She didn't know what to do with that information.
• 33:07
  Speaker 7: She just looked at me.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, God, that's funny. That's funny. Oh, God. All right, Stroh.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: Well, hey, Stroh, I'm going to work to make it.
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: I know Finney's upset that you haven't given an official
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: Panther prediction, but that's not how you roll.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: I respect it.
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: And I will work, Stroh, to bring back your trust
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: after the unfortunate Ashley incident of last week. That will
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: work to win your trust back. People are laughing at Stroh's,
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: the gasp that.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: She had there. That was amazing, wasn't it? That was
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: so good. Because it was just genuine. She's like, oh,
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: my God. Day three. The parents.
• 33:42
  Speaker 6: I mean, like, yeah, we might be having, like, a
• 33:44
  Speaker 6: New Year's Eve wedding at this point, if we even
• 33:46
  Speaker 6: make it then.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 33:48
  Speaker 6: The holiday's coming up. Who knows what's going to happen?
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: I might go to Fiddy and his wife for Thanksgiving.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: I might be at Fiddy and his wife for Thanksgiving
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: dinner this year.
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: This thing is moving fast, y'all. It is moving fast.
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: All right, Stroh, we appreciate you. Well, hey, we look forward, Stroh,
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: to next week when you react and give an opinion
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: to what you think of the Carolina Panthers because they
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: play a game this week.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: All right, Stroh?
• 34:10
  Speaker 6: I can't wait.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: All right. All right, Stroh, see you. Thank you so much. Bye, guys.
• 34:15
  Speaker 6: See ya.
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: All right, there you go, Ashley Strohlein. Everybody's favorite, Ashley
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: and Charlotte. I don't know who thinks differently.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: You know? I didn't know we had so many listeners
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: from Cherryville.
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: That's the big one that people are texting in. That one, Fitty,
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: you said that one's got to be.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: Cherville.
• 34:30
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: When you're driving up in that Belmont area, when you're
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: going up 85, you're going through Cherville.
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: I would say Cherryville, but I'm still trying to get
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: the yank out of me.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? I'm sorry. Excuse me? The Yankee.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: Y'all know what I'm talking about. What the heck are
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: you guys doing? I'll do that. I'm 52.
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: I'm an old, decrepit man.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: I hear your wife turned you down a lot, but
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: let's not go public here. Stop that. Stop that, y'all.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: Let's keep our composure here. I'm Yankee. Yank short for
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: Yankee Northerner. Anyway. Oh, dear God. Who are you, Flounder? Oh,
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: my God. Come on. Holy crap. No, because Flounder's a
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: Yankee guy from the North. Poor Flounder.
• 35:15
  Speaker 6: Oh, God.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: I think we've got to go to break. Finney, do
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: you want to do an update here? We've got to
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: go to break, don't we? Please. Just go to break
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: before we get fired. Just go.
• 35:22
  Speaker 6: Please.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: Do you know what happened with the 77 earlier?
• 35:41
  Speaker 7: Oh, yeah, he ran into me.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: Is there any history there?
• 35:44
  Speaker 7: Do you have any idea why?
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: There will be. There will be?
• 35:47
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: Care to expand upon that at all? His day's coming.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: It's coming hard. Watch out, Carson. Thanks, Brad.
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: That is an awesome clip that makes me want to
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: monitor the 6 car and the 77.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: Car at St. Louis this week.
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: That's Brad Keselowski after Carson Hosovar, shocking, took him out
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: of the race. and spun him um that is just
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: a amazing development can't imagine the 77 car did that
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: to somebody um hosavar was a people just keep getting
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: in his way that's crazy hosavar was asked after the
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: race about what happened um to brad and he said
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: oh brad spun uh kind of acting like oh did
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: i have something to do with that uh so anyway
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: this is one bone we could get another feud here.
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: A bruin which NASCAR is built on. We love feuds
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: in that sport. So the more the merrier, right?
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: Bring them on, baby. I'm not going to lie to you, Mac.
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: I'm starting to wear down a little bit. Watching that
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: full game last night to see if Deuce Robinson could
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: get over 50 yards receiving really having an impact on
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: me right now. You seem very spry. I'm starting to
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: feel it right now. The things you do for your bets.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you. That I win about 21%.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you to go to bed at halftime, wake up,
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: watch the second half, and be able to fast forward
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: between plays and fast forward commercials. is a very time-efficient
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: way to watch a late-night game, Bo.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: You are ahead of all of us. It really is, baby.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: You are ahead of all of us.
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: By the way, that clip is from the above-the-line media.
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: That is who put that out there and got that
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: interview with Brad Keselowski.
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: All right, so coming up tonight— And Josefar is above
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: the line, below the line. He's all over the lines.
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: He's definitely crossing the line.
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: Coming up tonight, Bo, it's the only day without football
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: in a 12-day stretch. That started last week and runs
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: through next Monday night when Monday night football week one
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: in the NFL. So if we get there tonight, bone,
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: we got Seahawks and Patriots Wednesday and we're back. We're
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: back with football, baby.
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: We have four ACC teams back playing on Friday night.
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: Now they're playing all FCS teams because Louisville is playing Villanova.
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: Virginia is playing Norfolk state. NC state's playing Richmond and
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: BC's playing FCS Rutgers on, uh, On Friday night.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: Oh, man.
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: All right. Atlanta and Tampa, by the way. Hell of
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: a matchup tonight. The Braves lost 1-0 yesterday. So they
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: split with the Phillies, which works for the Braves, right?
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: Keeps that lead at four games. It's amazing that they...
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: First of all, yeah, it does nothing for... Yeah, I mean,
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: Braves will take that all day long. But the Phillies
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: pitching staff was phenomenal. Like, numbers-wise, the starters for most
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: of the series, Lizardo yesterday was unbelievable.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: Two-hit shutout.
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: But they only got two wins in the series, despite
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: all four starters pitching well for the Phillies.
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Sale got it done. And then the game, the
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: Sanchez game for the Phillies, right? Or no, that was
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: the Sale game.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: Right? On Friday night? Yes, yes.
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: Sunday, I don't even know who started for the Phillies
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: on Sunday, but that's one where the Braves got to
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: the bullpen. Braves were down 4-1. Acuna hit the three-run jack,
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: and then Riley drove it home. But again, however you
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: get it, you get a sweep with a four-game lead
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: with this few games left, that's good on you. They
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: still have a three-game series back in Atlanta, right, Bone,
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: coming up this weekend, I do believe.
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: People are trying to get me to say Norfolk the
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: wrong way, so I cuss on the air, and I'm
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: not falling for that right now, all right? Multiple texters
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: trying to get me to say it a different way.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: I'm not doing it. How do you say, you say Norfolk? No, no,
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: I'm saying Norfolk, right? Is that how you say it? Yes.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: They're trying to get me to say it. There's a
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: more southern way to say it, too. They're trying to
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: get me to add the F word on the end
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: of it. They're trying to get me to cuss on
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: the air. Is that the way it's said in Norfolk?
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know. But I'm not saying it the way
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: they want me to say it.
• 39:41
  Speaker 7: I say it the way we can't say it.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: But you could say it if you're saying a city's name.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: If that's the way you say the city's name.
• 39:48
  Speaker 7: I don't think that's how it works.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: Want to find out? All right, go ahead.
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: Let me move along. I don't even know how to
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: say it. You say the word.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: I say Norfolk. I don't dump it. We'll see what happens.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: Ball's in your court, pal. I call it Norfolk. I'm
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: asking you what you call it. I call it Norfolk.
• 40:05
  Speaker 7: I pronounce it the other way.
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: I don't know what the other way is. Norfolk. I
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: guess the F word. But if it's an acceptable way
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: to say Norfolk, why can't you say it? Because that's
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: not the way it's supposed to be said, I'm guessing.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: But isn't it the way that people in Norfolk say it?
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I've never been there. We're not in Virginia.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: We're not in Norfolk. I've never been there.
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: Does the FCC have different rules for pronouncing Norfolk in
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: Virginia and in other states?
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: Don't know. Scream it out loud, and we'll see what happens.
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: All right. Say it out loud.
• 40:37
  Speaker 7: How do you say Roanoke? Are you a Roanoke?
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: Roanoke, just the way you did. What other way do
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: you say it?
• 40:42
  Speaker 7: There's another way you can say it.
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: Let me guess.
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: That's dirty, too. Let me read some more text here.
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: How do you say Richmond? Is there another way to
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: say Richmond?
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: This texter says, I'm from Fayetteville, but some people pronounce
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: it Fayetteville. See, I thought that was always a ville. Fayetteville.
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: I thought it was.
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: I thought that was always a bill. This texture says Arkansas.
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: It's Fitty told Stroh that he wouldn't give details without
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: her Panther wind tunnel and then gave all the details.
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: Not all. Some people pronounce it Norfolk, Virginia, Norfolk, Norfolk, Virginia, Norfolk. Oh, Norfolk, Virginia.
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's Nor-F-word, is it? Isn't it more
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: of like, I don't know. It's not. Y'all got me
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: worried now, man. The texters are trying to get us
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: to say it that way on the air is what
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: they're trying to do. I don't know. I'm confused. So
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: go Norfolk yourself. Let's continue here.
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: Cherryville, multiple people saying Cherryville is nowhere near Belmont, like
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: Finney said.
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: It is their 85, though. I stand by that for you.
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: Some texter called him Bald McNally, tried to correct him
• 41:43
  Speaker 4: on how he went wrong.
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: Texter says, Mac, you have a booger buildup. Blow your nose,
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: my man.
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: I did admit yesterday, Bo, my nose whistling may come
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: from excess.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: Your nose is whistling Dixie.
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: This texter says, real question this week is, will Clemson
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: shoot off fireworks after we lose to Georgia Southern? My God,
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: Clemson fans are down bad, ain't they? Pick yourselves up,
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: all right? It's a long year. Salty Pirate, Dabo is
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: a walkman, and Lane is YouTube music.
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: That's actually pretty well played there. That is pretty damn
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: well played. All right, we're out of here, y'all.
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: The second we get off the air, Finney will say
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: his pronunciation in Norfolk for me. We're going to clear
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: it all up off the air without FCC repercussions. Good
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: work out of the bone, man. The Fit Dog, Stro,
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: we appreciate you. You shot right up the Ashley rankings.
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: We're out of here, y'all. Colin Hoggard, Charlotte Sports Today,
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: coming up next.
