Transcript
- 0:16Speaker 1: It's a good call by Bone Bone put in a
- 0:18Speaker 1: musical request from DJ Fitty said I need some NFL
- 0:23Speaker 1: prime time and this song. God, this song just makes
- 0:26Speaker 1: you feel like this song was in my head in
- 0:28Speaker 1: the shower this morning.
- 0:30Speaker 2: I was scrubbing back and that's how hobbling that song
- 0:32Speaker 2: on myself get me to armpits. That's hilarious.
- 0:38Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I know that that does get you
- 0:45Speaker 1: fired up for fair.
- 0:46Speaker 2: I know that social media era didn't love Berman that much.
- 0:50Speaker 2: He became kind of a running joke. But late eighties,
- 0:53Speaker 2: early nineties and mid nineties, Chris Berman is a part
- 0:57Speaker 2: in Tom Jackson and that Joe was a major part
- 1:00Speaker 2: of the boom of the NFL. Not then, Yeah, absolutely,
- 1:03Speaker 2: that was that they were unbelievable in those days. No,
- 1:06Speaker 2: that was like the definitive show Sunday Nights that let
- 1:10Speaker 2: me see what happened around the league. That like Chris
- 1:12Speaker 2: Berman was actually good at that. I'm far from a
- 1:16Speaker 2: Chris Berman fan, but him and TJ that was that
- 1:19Speaker 2: was it man. That was the best Berman us open
- 1:22Speaker 2: Berman and back back, back, back back Berman.
- 1:24Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know about those, but that
- 1:27Speaker 1: I thought was was a money version of him. But anyway,
- 1:31Speaker 1: all right, so does that have you all ready for football?
- 1:33Speaker 1: Does that get you ready? How many great highlights bone
- 1:36Speaker 1: well we have on Thursday night? Probably not many. But anyway,
- 1:41Speaker 1: it's football, and it's Panther football, and it's two days away.
- 1:44Speaker 1: I'll say this, as long as we wait during the
- 1:47Speaker 1: off season for football, it's the longest offseason around, right,
- 1:51Speaker 1: trying to get back to college football even longer off season.
- 1:55Speaker 1: And then we've been in camp for almost two weeks.
- 1:59Speaker 1: It's still feels kind of crazy that were two days
- 2:02Speaker 1: away from the Panthers or some of the Panthers playing
- 2:07Speaker 1: in a football game on their It still seems a
- 2:08Speaker 1: little crazy to me.
- 2:09Speaker 2: Bom, Yeah, the Thurs are back, Man, tell your friends,
- 2:14Speaker 2: tell one it all you go?
- 2:15Speaker 1: Is this the year you make that stick Bony Thurs.
- 2:17Speaker 2: I don't know. It's been a while since we tried
- 2:19Speaker 2: that one. Did you hear what he said? Betty, it's
- 2:23Speaker 2: been a while. It's been a while, there you go.
- 2:26Speaker 1: The thirst move was when I first got here. That
- 2:29Speaker 1: was so that was twenty twenty one. That was that
- 2:32Speaker 1: was the year that I remember Bailey had a promo
- 2:34Speaker 1: about never to my life have I heard them called
- 2:37Speaker 1: the third Yeah, that's not a good That movement, that
- 2:39Speaker 1: thirst movement was not one of the things I'm most
- 2:41Speaker 1: proud of charlotteans for it. All right, y'all, So let's
- 2:45Speaker 1: talk about Thursday night's game and the Canalist strategy in
- 2:49Speaker 1: terms of playing time. What do we think about what
- 2:53Speaker 1: he said yesterday? And then like, what is the right
- 2:56Speaker 1: way to play this? It's an extra game, right Canalis
- 2:59Speaker 1: has and sparing with the starters as it is, so
- 3:02Speaker 1: it's no surprise what he said yesterday. But I noticed
- 3:06Speaker 1: yesterday fans already before Canal's even said anything, fans were
- 3:10Speaker 1: clamoring for starters playing this and that. So like, what
- 3:13Speaker 1: is the right way? If you are the coach of
- 3:16Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers, how would you handle this game and
- 3:20Speaker 1: playing time? And maybe it comes down in some cases
- 3:23Speaker 1: to certain individuals too, you know, But let's hear from
- 3:26Speaker 1: coach yesterday when the topic of starting quarterback and playing
- 3:31Speaker 1: time came up.
- 3:32Speaker 3: Kenny'll start the game off for how long I'm not sure,
- 3:35Speaker 3: but we have a we have a good number of
- 3:37Speaker 3: guys you know that'll be helping out early on in
- 3:40Speaker 3: the game, just just because we don't want to overload
- 3:44Speaker 3: any one particular group on our team. We do have
- 3:46Speaker 3: practices leading into the game and we have practices coming
- 3:49Speaker 3: out of it. So I felt that with the number
- 3:51Speaker 3: of guys being out there, being able to take a
- 3:54Speaker 3: couple of series will really help the whole group and
- 3:56Speaker 3: we just need the football. So I'm excited about it,
- 3:58Speaker 3: and Kenny's excited as well as the rest of the group,
- 4:01Speaker 3: and they've been talking a lot about it. Yeah, no starters,
- 4:06Speaker 3: so uh, there are some competition battles for starting positions
- 4:10Speaker 3: where guys will have an opportunity to play a little bit.
- 4:12Speaker 3: But some of the guys were expecting to be out
- 4:15Speaker 3: there right off the bat. You know, I think we
- 4:17Speaker 3: won't play those guys in this game?
- 4:20Speaker 4: Correct?
- 4:21Speaker 1: He said? They were asking Monroe Freeling. He said, correct,
- 4:24Speaker 1: No Monroe Freeling. So no starters, but got Kenny Picker
- 4:28Speaker 1: will start. But guys bone that are competing for starting
- 4:33Speaker 1: spots could if they're not kind of clear cut starters,
- 4:37Speaker 1: they could play. So I'm trying to figure out. I
- 4:39Speaker 1: guess the first thing that I'm trying to do here
- 4:42Speaker 1: is figure out, like who are those guys? Then that
- 4:45Speaker 1: could end up being starters, but that are going to
- 4:48Speaker 1: play those competing guys.
- 4:50Speaker 2: XCEL needs to play right because he needs all the
- 4:54Speaker 2: on field football acumen stuff, whether it's getting his feet down,
- 4:58Speaker 2: doesn't matter who he's playing again, So I wholeherdly agree
- 5:03Speaker 2: with what he's saying about the starters and how to
- 5:05Speaker 2: handle this. But a guy like XL, I would have
- 5:09Speaker 2: him out there for a week a little bit, just
- 5:11Speaker 2: I think anytime he's on the field for that individual
- 5:14Speaker 2: that matters to him, I would agree with that. I
- 5:17Speaker 2: would hope that every player matters to for him getting
- 5:20Speaker 2: comfortable on the field. With the nuances of the NFL, still,
- 5:24Speaker 2: I think he needs to be out there.
- 5:26Speaker 1: I tend to lean towards your side. The one thing
- 5:28Speaker 1: I'm trying to do is remember bone how panicate and
- 5:32Speaker 1: depressed it sat. I get when the Panthers have key
- 5:37Speaker 1: injuries like they've had so far early in the season,
- 5:40Speaker 1: and it's like part of me just wants to put
- 5:43Speaker 1: anybody that we feel like is going to play an
- 5:46Speaker 1: important role in bubble wrap because if we get somebody,
- 5:50Speaker 1: So that's the thing XL you're hoping is your third
- 5:53Speaker 1: wide receiver. I think I leaned towards you. But I
- 5:56Speaker 1: also have.
- 5:57Speaker 2: This talking about playing even just a couple of er
- 6:00Speaker 2: a couple series, not a lot of.
- 6:01Speaker 1: I have this voice in my head, like you know,
- 6:05Speaker 1: this extra preseason game is not a blessing necessarily when
- 6:09Speaker 1: it comes to you know, guys that are gonna be
- 6:12Speaker 1: a key role. Yeah, maybe guys fighting for roster spots.
- 6:15Speaker 1: But these are Canalis's words, guys that are fighting for competition.
- 6:20Speaker 1: Like when I when I heard what he said, I
- 6:22Speaker 1: start thinking about like cornerback, not Mike, Jack and Horn.
- 6:26Speaker 1: Obviously you've got to bubble wrap those boys. But Thornton,
- 6:29Speaker 1: will Lee, Shaw, and Shaw Smith Wade. Thornton and Shaw,
- 6:33Speaker 1: Smith Wade are fighting for slot and nickelback spots. Lee
- 6:37Speaker 1: and Thornton are fighting for battles on you know, time
- 6:40Speaker 1: on the outside when Horn goes inside. Do you how
- 6:44Speaker 1: do you feel about though? I feel like those three
- 6:46Speaker 1: young guys should probably play.
- 6:48Speaker 2: Yeah, it's probably the type of player that he's talking about,
- 6:50Speaker 2: So yes, I agree with those guys there, But certainly,
- 6:55Speaker 2: as you said, the top two guys. No, I don't
- 6:58Speaker 2: need I don't need to see Horn mat for much
- 7:00Speaker 2: of the preseason at all to be honest with you.
- 7:02Speaker 2: I mean Hornkin Horn can not play at all, And
- 7:04Speaker 2: I'm good with that. Yeah, essentially, considering the he's already
- 7:08Speaker 2: miss time in camp, he's miss seasons before. If Horn
- 7:11Speaker 2: doesn't play at all in the preseason, I'm good with
- 7:13Speaker 2: that one.
- 7:13Speaker 1: Yeah, it wouldn't be there. It wouldn't be the end
- 7:15Speaker 1: of the world if you bubble wrapped him. I mean,
- 7:17Speaker 1: I think I'd like to see him get some time.
- 7:20Speaker 1: I I think we could talk about this next week
- 7:22Speaker 1: when we get to the what is the normal preseason schedule,
- 7:26Speaker 1: right and we start to find out how Canalis is
- 7:27Speaker 1: gonna play that. I do want the offensive guys to
- 7:30Speaker 1: play a little bit more. I do feel like we
- 7:33Speaker 1: start the season bone pretty brutally. And I would like
- 7:36Speaker 1: to see Idzick as a play caller with Bryce, with
- 7:39Speaker 1: the actual players. Yeah, he's gonna be calling plays for
- 7:42Speaker 1: on Sunday. You're gonna get it. As far as this game, man, Like,
- 7:45Speaker 1: I just I don't understand the and I don't know
- 7:47Speaker 1: what's happening on the text line right now. I hadn't
- 7:49Speaker 1: looked at it. Seven oh four. Still stop, they're still
- 7:54Speaker 1: stuck on previous topics? Are we still talking Aaron Rodgers there,
- 7:57Speaker 1: doctor Founci. Somebody asks for a bait Rogers versus Fauci.
- 8:03Speaker 1: I'll let y'all, y'all set that up. They'll tune in.
- 8:05Speaker 1: But y'all said, we can give you Pouc Puci. We
- 8:10Speaker 1: got Anthony Pouci.
- 8:11Speaker 2: Anthony Puci, Oh my god, all right. I think we're
- 8:14Speaker 2: gonna see a lot of Jimmy Horn Junior match will
- 8:19Speaker 2: be out there. I think you're gonna see a lot
- 8:20Speaker 2: of those receivers out there because I think they're definitely
- 8:23Speaker 2: they're trying to figure out those two guys specific Brys
- 8:25Speaker 2: and Germaine.
- 8:26Speaker 1: Definitely. I think those guys are going to David More.
- 8:29Speaker 1: Probably not. I would say they know who he is,
- 8:31Speaker 1: and I think he's already got I think he's already
- 8:34Speaker 1: on this team.
- 8:34Speaker 2: Honestly, I think he is.
- 8:36Speaker 1: Could he play a little bit? He's not a starter,
- 8:39Speaker 1: you know, so could you play him a little? Does
- 8:41Speaker 1: he have to play? No, he's all he's pretty pretty veteran.
- 8:44Speaker 1: I was gonna call him old his dirt, but that's
- 8:45Speaker 1: not accurate. That's not needed. What I was gonna say, though,
- 8:48Speaker 1: bone is I don't know if there are people on
- 8:50Speaker 1: text line right now that are saying you gotta play Star.
- 8:53Speaker 1: I was shocked how many Deer Next says play them
- 8:55Speaker 1: all I see. I was shocked how many people said
- 8:58Speaker 1: yesterday that Bryce needs to play and that Starters need
- 9:01Speaker 1: to play this week. You don't even need three preseason
- 9:03Speaker 1: games as it is. It's already overkilled. It should be
- 9:06Speaker 1: down to two, and it will be once the owners
- 9:09Speaker 1: get the players to submit to an eighteen game schedule,
- 9:12Speaker 1: it'll be moved down.
- 9:13Speaker 2: It's all about It's all about the joint sessions coming up,
- 9:16Speaker 2: not about these games.
- 9:17Speaker 1: That's the thing too. You spend the big change. You
- 9:19Speaker 1: have two joint sessions this year. You got Houston and
- 9:22Speaker 1: you got Jacksonville. Then you got three preseason games. So
- 9:25Speaker 1: I like this. This game is not needed at all
- 9:28Speaker 1: for starters. So I am surprised. Finny might have nailed
- 9:32Speaker 1: it in a way, although I thought he came off
- 9:34Speaker 1: as abrasive towards his fellow Panther fans.
- 9:36Speaker 2: But he might have nailed it.
- 9:38Speaker 1: Some people might just want to see Starters just so
- 9:40Speaker 1: when they tune in on Thursday, they enjoy it more, right,
- 9:43Speaker 1: rather than watching Haines King throw thirty five passes, although
- 9:47Speaker 1: Beabop calls that a hell of a Thursday night. I'm
- 9:49Speaker 1: not sure Haines came to that many passes in college.
- 9:53Speaker 1: Well he maybe you won't throw thirty. He probably gonna
- 9:54Speaker 1: run about twelve dives probably, Well you could go hill here.
- 9:58Speaker 1: As far as who will play, Dave Canalis said, and
- 10:01Speaker 1: feel free to text in your thoughts on what he
- 10:03Speaker 1: should do. What do you think of his approach? Starters
- 10:06Speaker 1: won't play, But guys that are competing for starting jobs
- 10:10Speaker 1: we'll get some time. How about interior defensive line Cam
- 10:14Speaker 1: Jackson and Lee Hunter apparently Boner battling for a spot.
- 10:19Speaker 2: Yeah, I could see both. Interesting.
- 10:21Speaker 1: I think I could see both those guys play. We
- 10:24Speaker 1: were told somebody said Freeling should play. Yeah, I mean,
- 10:28Speaker 1: I guess you could make the argument. But again, three
- 10:30Speaker 1: preseason games is probably enough for Freeling, isn't it. And
- 10:34Speaker 1: you can't afford another injury at the tackles.
- 10:37Speaker 2: That's the old rub there. Yeah, you can't play in
- 10:39Speaker 2: perfect time, of course he does, but there's also if
- 10:44Speaker 2: he's a starter, regardless if he needs more time or not,
- 10:48Speaker 2: you can't afford to lose any more offensive lineman like
- 10:51Speaker 2: that right now, you already got Icky out, You've lost
- 10:53Speaker 2: Moten here for the time being. You can't have your
- 10:56Speaker 2: seasons in peril if Freeling goes down.
- 11:00Speaker 1: That's there's no need to chance.
- 11:01Speaker 2: And actually where it's tempting to think about it, but
- 11:05Speaker 2: ultimately the smart choices don't play them. I claim in
- 11:09Speaker 2: the joint sessions he's already got a warn from Will
- 11:11Speaker 2: Anderson coming up.
- 11:12Speaker 1: So what that be is, well, and you're gonna play him,
- 11:14Speaker 1: and you're gonna play him some in regular preseason games year.
- 11:16Speaker 1: This is just an extra. Listen this again. If Dave
- 11:19Speaker 1: canalis Bone didn't really like playing starters much in the
- 11:25Speaker 1: preseason as it was, why did anybody think all of
- 11:28Speaker 1: a sudden he'd want to play starters in this game.
- 11:31Speaker 1: Now here's an interesting one. We got to get this
- 11:34Speaker 1: clip Fitty from Princely yesterday because Princely is the sort
- 11:39Speaker 1: of guy bone where I'd like to see him out
- 11:41Speaker 1: there personally. And there's another player that a lot of
- 11:43Speaker 1: people are bringing up that we have to discuss too.
- 11:46Speaker 1: But Princely's a guy bone that I just said in
- 11:49Speaker 1: the first hour of the show. He's one of my
- 11:50Speaker 1: top two or three X factor guys. Whereas if he
- 11:52Speaker 1: makes a jump, it has a serious impact on this team,
- 11:55Speaker 1: especially with scorting out. Listen to Princely when asked what
- 11:59Speaker 1: he's looking forward to, Princeley's a trip.
- 12:01Speaker 2: By the way.
- 12:01Speaker 1: Can we get him back on Twitter? Get him back
- 12:03Speaker 1: on Twitter? Uh, hey, make some Pro Bowl this year.
- 12:06Speaker 1: He's bad, That's true, he did say on on Twitter.
- 12:09Speaker 1: I'm out. I'm off here until I make a Pro Bowl.
- 12:11Speaker 1: But uh, he has asked what he's looking forward to
- 12:13Speaker 1: on Thursday night.
- 12:14Speaker 5: I'm looking forward to being on a sideline in a jumpsuit.
- 12:22Speaker 5: I mean, if I do play. I'm just looking forward
- 12:24Speaker 5: to displaying my skills in the work that I've been
- 12:26Speaker 5: putting in this offseason.
- 12:28Speaker 1: But didn't he he cracked himself up there, Man, I
- 12:32Speaker 1: can relate. I'm often the only one laughing at some
- 12:34Speaker 1: of my jokes. H. What do you think about your
- 12:36Speaker 1: guy Trevis Gibson out there? Though, he did, You're definitely
- 12:38Speaker 1: gonna see Gibson and Inkoom and Gil and those guys.
- 12:42Speaker 1: But as far as Princely goes he he then was asked, hey,
- 12:45Speaker 1: did you or you told you're not playing? He said no,
- 12:47Speaker 1: I hadn't been told that or whatever. Shouldn't Princely play?
- 12:52Speaker 1: Doesn't he need some reps? Like I was shocked. I
- 12:56Speaker 1: was shocked to hear him say that. I'm like, does
- 12:58Speaker 1: the bar of guys were sitting out go all the
- 13:00Speaker 1: way down to Princely too?
- 13:02Speaker 2: I mean again, it goes to the attrition. Now we've
- 13:05Speaker 2: seen already at that spot with scoring. So you mentioned
- 13:08Speaker 2: he's the massive X factor. So maybe they're gonna be
- 13:11Speaker 2: a little more careful because they already lost the guy
- 13:13Speaker 2: at that spot. So that could be part of the
- 13:14Speaker 2: reason why he does it. Yeah again, much like free wing, Yeah,
- 13:18Speaker 2: you do they need time? Yeah? Are they cautious because
- 13:21Speaker 2: of the depth they've already lost there?
- 13:23Speaker 1: That might be part of the reason why doesn't And
- 13:25Speaker 1: that's the way you're the risk reward you're trying to
- 13:28Speaker 1: to play out. I just think he's a second year
- 13:30Speaker 1: player with all this physical talent, right, all this explosion
- 13:33Speaker 1: and bend and all this stuff. But I think that's
- 13:36Speaker 1: a dude that needs reps. If it's just two drives,
- 13:39Speaker 1: he could, Yeah, it doesn't have to be much. Do
- 13:40Speaker 1: you still play to getting the jumpsuit on the sideline?
- 13:43Speaker 2: He did say later? Did he say it on that
- 13:45Speaker 2: Clipper was it later?
- 13:46Speaker 1: Then he's got his jumpsuit ironed just in case, Just
- 13:50Speaker 1: in case he sits out, the jumpsuit is iron Maybe
- 13:53Speaker 1: a second half jumpsuit for Princely to Fitty's point, a
- 13:56Speaker 1: little halftime wardrobe change.
- 13:58Speaker 2: But like he could also be a fit from confidence
- 14:01Speaker 2: to bone, you know what I mean? It's true. Someone asks,
- 14:03Speaker 2: what if you sit JJ out? How would the ball
- 14:06Speaker 2: get snapped? Yeah, there's no The game would be delayed,
- 14:10Speaker 2: there is no They could do a contest. They could
- 14:12Speaker 2: do a contest for who wants to long snap for
- 14:14Speaker 2: the night. What fan out there wants to replace JJ Jansen?
- 14:19Speaker 2: Some of you textures and said what JJ does is
- 14:21Speaker 2: not an art. Some of you cat should be out
- 14:23Speaker 2: there forced to long snap and embarrass your high knees.
- 14:26Speaker 1: That's what should happen. Yeah, JJ can't get any days off, Kenny.
- 14:29Speaker 2: He can't. It's so true. It's never a day off
- 14:33Speaker 2: for him. No man, JJ, by the way, will not
- 14:35Speaker 2: be boycotting social media to he makes the Pro Bowl.
- 14:39Speaker 2: He can't. He needs that. He needs to be out there.
- 14:41Speaker 2: He's got to get his thoughts in on the Dodger.
- 14:43Speaker 2: I love JJ as a sports nut.
- 14:44Speaker 4: Man.
- 14:46Speaker 1: Okay, So this dude says, so if they aren't playing starters,
- 14:50Speaker 1: but they are playing guys competing for starting spots, that
- 14:53Speaker 1: should mean that Jonathan Brooks plays on Thursday night. No
- 15:00Speaker 1: not you not buying that, bones will I will?
- 15:04Speaker 2: I will drive to Canon and throw him in a
- 15:06Speaker 2: van like he's blew from old school.
- 15:08Speaker 1: Will you drive back in the same day?
- 15:10Speaker 2: Will you spend the.
- 15:11Speaker 1: Night absolute hours away? There's absolutely no chance. You gotta
- 15:17Speaker 1: protect him. Would you play now? How much would you
- 15:19Speaker 1: play him in the preseason? I guess we're jumping ahead.
- 15:22Speaker 2: I mean, I guess you want to get him used
- 15:23Speaker 2: to the NFL grind in lifestyle, but I mean one
- 15:28Speaker 2: one series, one series A game. I don't know. He's
- 15:31Speaker 2: a He's a different discussion because of the two ACL tair.
- 15:35Speaker 2: So I'm I'm very protective of my guy Brooksy. Hey,
- 15:38Speaker 2: I'm not saying complete bubble wrap. But because you wanted
- 15:42Speaker 2: to take some hits, yeah, you want him to take hits,
- 15:44Speaker 2: you want him to cut right in live action. But
- 15:46Speaker 2: again to your point, I know it's a total live
- 15:48Speaker 2: action and hitting, but you do have two joint practices.
- 15:52Speaker 1: He would play in the final preseason game, when that
- 15:54Speaker 1: would be it just a final one.
- 15:55Speaker 2: You're saying that's what I would play cut Interesting, Interesting,
- 15:58Speaker 2: I might be. I might be out there like a
- 16:00Speaker 2: concerned mother watching him run the football. This concern mother,
- 16:04Speaker 2: I could be a father.
- 16:05Speaker 1: I guess Bone's gonna run during the home preseason game.

- 19:30Speaker 1: horrible anthem. Charlie Steiner, I feel like, I mean, people
- 19:35Speaker 1: are losing their minds boned that we kept playing that
- 19:37Speaker 1: and that their ears were hurt.
- 19:38Speaker 2: I feel like it's a song you can't.

- 19:53Speaker 1: Believe if people are trying to make a mockery of
- 19:56Speaker 1: the anthem, that ticks me off. I feel like they

- 20:03Speaker 1: This dude says, that's the only singing that's Out's worse
- 20:06Speaker 1: than Max singing on the radio. Another Texter, Willie p

- 22:31Speaker 2: Mac and Bone. For this story, we go to New
- 22:34Speaker 2: Jersey and Donellen, New Jersey, where a New Jersey police
- 22:39Speaker 2: officer dressed in a shrub disguise during a traffic safety
- 22:44Speaker 2: operation nabbed seventy four people and it's incitations for distracted
- 22:50Speaker 2: driving in a six hour detail on July twenty nine, mac.
- 22:54Speaker 2: He was on the side of the road disguise as
- 22:57Speaker 2: a shrump dude that's trying to catch people. He got
- 23:00Speaker 2: seventy four. Could you imagine those New Jersey drivers how
- 23:05Speaker 2: mad they are when they get pulled over by a truck.
- 23:09Speaker 1: That that's some tricky stuff, right there, Cops, That is
- 23:12Speaker 1: some tricky dang stuff.
- 23:14Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 23:14Speaker 1: I think a lot of people fall for it. But
- 23:16Speaker 1: you know what, though, it's probably worth doing. It's probably
- 23:19Speaker 1: worth extreme measures to keep people from texting and driving. Yeah,
- 23:23Speaker 1: because it's dangerous as Hello, Jersey, what are you trump? Oh?
- 23:28Speaker 1: They must tick off some Jersey Jersey folks having a
- 23:30Speaker 1: bad day or something. Bone like they get a Mets
- 23:33Speaker 1: fan in Jersey. It's just miserable and angry. Imagine, isn't heal?
- 23:35Speaker 2: I've probably tried to throw that shrub to the side,
- 23:38Speaker 2: you damn tub.
- 23:39Speaker 1: Holy crap, Holy crap you feel Have you heard bone
- 23:44Speaker 1: about the new cheatings down Rodney? Have you heard about
- 23:47Speaker 1: the new cheating scandalbone in the women's tour de Fronts?
- 23:50Speaker 1: Have you heard about this? Apparently women are going to
- 23:54Speaker 1: great lens to try to increase their speed on the bikes.
- 23:58Speaker 2: In the Women's Tour de France.
- 24:00Speaker 1: Some of them Bone are placing different objects inside their
- 24:07Speaker 1: brazier in order to exaggerate their cup size during the race.
- 24:12Speaker 1: By doing so, riders gain an aerodynamic advantage. I would
- 24:17Speaker 1: have actually thought if you had less up there, it
- 24:19Speaker 1: might be more aerodynamic. But they say, if you have
- 24:22Speaker 1: more up there, bone, you pad it, you somehow get
- 24:25Speaker 1: better aerodynamics. I'm gonna need an engineer to explain this
- 24:29Speaker 1: to me. I'm gonna need an engineer to study that.
- 24:31Speaker 1: That'd be a fun study to do for an engineer.
- 24:33Speaker 1: What the bleep's going on here? Bony, Do you know
- 24:36Speaker 1: what they call that?
- 24:36Speaker 2: What's that? Booby trap?
- 24:40Speaker 5: Oh?
- 24:41Speaker 1: My god? Anyway, play equation to watch more cycling an
- 24:45Speaker 1: getting the UCI regulations, placing objects on the chest is
- 24:49Speaker 1: prohibited bone. So anyway, all right, if you ever become
- 24:52Speaker 1: a cyclist, do not pad your chest.
- 24:56Speaker 2: Okay, it's a little tip for you out there.
- 24:58Speaker 1: Mac.
- 24:58Speaker 2: We're going to go to Minnesota where, man, we've seen
- 25:01Speaker 2: a lot of we've heard the term get off my
- 25:03Speaker 2: wan a lot. But a Minnesota man was charged with
- 25:07Speaker 2: setting a dangerous device after placing a homemade spike strip
- 25:11Speaker 2: made of thick plastic and roughly forty three inch screws
- 25:15Speaker 2: in his yard to stop the neighborhood children from riding
- 25:19Speaker 2: pikes across its Probably this man said, get off my
- 25:23Speaker 2: wat ain't working. I'm gonna put a fake spike strip down,
- 25:26Speaker 2: but these kids are gonna go flying across my yard.
- 25:28Speaker 1: This is the most aggressive get off my lawn, guy
- 25:31Speaker 1: I've ever heard of. Man apparently yelling because I saw
- 25:34Speaker 1: this story too, Apparently yelling at him, you're right, wasn't working.
- 25:37Speaker 1: Like he was furious with these kids, and they would
- 25:39Speaker 1: do it because y'all know how kids act. Right you
- 25:42Speaker 1: yell at them not to do something, they're going to say,
- 25:44Speaker 1: what the heck with that? Oh man, I'm gonna do it.
- 25:46Speaker 1: They were cutting through his yard on bikes.
- 25:48Speaker 2: They were trying to get There's a park that they
- 25:51Speaker 2: used his yard to get to, so they were driving
- 25:54Speaker 2: through his They were riding through his yard to get
- 25:56Speaker 2: to the park. They weren't just being devious. They were
- 25:59Speaker 2: taking the short and this man said, no, no, no,
- 26:02Speaker 2: watch this.
- 26:03Speaker 1: I remember before we had a fence, we would be
- 26:06Speaker 1: a walk through yard to get like so you didn't
- 26:09Speaker 1: have to walk all the way around one street to
- 26:11Speaker 1: get to the other. They would just cut to get
- 26:13Speaker 1: to the next street, and it was kind of annoying.
- 26:16Speaker 1: Although there was one moment Bone I talked about this before,
- 26:18Speaker 1: but it's been forever where these kids would always cut
- 26:22Speaker 1: through right so they didn't have to go all.
- 26:24Speaker 2: The way around.
- 26:25Speaker 1: And me and Missus Mack were out there with our
- 26:27Speaker 1: dog Benny at the time. She had him on a
- 26:30Speaker 1: leash because we had no fence yet. We didn't get
- 26:31Speaker 1: our fence yet. They see these kids. Benny sees these
- 26:35Speaker 1: kids cutting through and takes off, pulls her and she
- 26:39Speaker 1: falls down in her work clothes, just complete wipe out,
- 26:43Speaker 1: and bro I wanted to go get the dog first,
- 26:45Speaker 1: to make sure Benny did even get a chunk of
- 26:47Speaker 1: kid flesh. Once I secured him, bro I could barely
- 26:50Speaker 1: stand up. It was all I could do, nothing, fall down,
- 26:53Speaker 1: laughing at Missus Mack. Oh, it could be dangerous out there,
- 26:57Speaker 1: those kids cut. Maybe we should have put some dang
- 26:59Speaker 1: up spike strips. Bony, Oh my goodness, Oh, I'll never
- 27:04Speaker 1: forget that moment.
- 27:05Speaker 2: She wanted defense immediately, I mean defense boat.
- 27:07Speaker 1: She called defence people two minutes after she got inside,
- 27:10Speaker 1: changed her clothes. Oh my goodness. All right, Anyway, I've
- 27:14Speaker 1: got what the bleep? Bonie pie Crow Armstrong hell of
- 27:17Speaker 1: a baseball player for the Cubs. Might be MVP of
- 27:20Speaker 1: the league, might be MVP of the league, but he
- 27:22Speaker 1: is not in the MVP of takes. I don't believe
- 27:25Speaker 1: because he's getting what the bleep. He was on Christian
- 27:28Speaker 1: Cavalieri's podcast. She is from what was that show called
- 27:32Speaker 1: Back in the Day Laguna Beach originally and now she's
- 27:35Speaker 1: just famous with Jay Cutler's wife all that stuff. And anyway,
- 27:39Speaker 1: he was on her podcast. Listen to his take, Bonie
- 27:41Speaker 1: about a baseball great.
- 27:44Speaker 2: What's an unpopular opinion that you have?
- 27:47Speaker 7: This is going to be crazy, Babe. Ruth never existed
- 27:51Speaker 7: is one that I love.
- 27:55Speaker 2: He never existed.
- 27:57Speaker 7: I heard some picture with the marriage. Uh what's his name? Salsado?
- 28:04Speaker 7: Remember him?
- 28:04Speaker 2: Palsado? Yeah, left.
- 28:05Speaker 7: I think he did some podcast on Zoom when he
- 28:09Speaker 7: was like going down the rabbit hole with somebody about
- 28:12Speaker 7: how Baber never existed.
- 28:14Speaker 2: I was like, that's also, Wow, you're gonna double down
- 28:19Speaker 2: right now.
- 28:20Speaker 7: It's like we we always talk about how like the
- 28:22Speaker 7: games evolving, and people might as well have been like
- 28:26Speaker 7: underhanding the ball to that guy and and he's regarded
- 28:29Speaker 7: still as one of the best players ever and you
- 28:33Speaker 7: might as well dive further into it and be like, well,
- 28:35Speaker 7: maybe he just never exists.
- 28:37Speaker 2: I love it. I love it, my god.
- 28:40Speaker 1: Not every goofy flats we have a new one year.
- 28:43Speaker 1: Not every goofy conspiracy theory. You hear there, Pete, you
- 28:46Speaker 1: gotta repeat.
- 28:47Speaker 2: We have to. We have footage of them, like he
- 28:50Speaker 2: was real calling his shot. Baby.
- 28:52Speaker 1: Now, if you want to say the competition he played
- 28:54Speaker 1: at the leagues weren't integrated and the competition he played
- 28:57Speaker 1: out was pretty lame, Yeah, you could say that, But
- 29:00Speaker 1: what are we doing here? Man?
- 29:01Speaker 2: I just we are the folks.
- 29:04Speaker 1: Desire to believe conspiracy theories has never been higher than
- 29:08Speaker 1: right now.
- 29:08Speaker 2: Now, will everybody wants to believe Will chamberwin? That's the
- 29:11Speaker 2: guy that wasn't real. Now, what do you not believe?
- 29:16Speaker 2: Bone one hundred points or the twenty thousand dogs just
- 29:19Speaker 2: messing around? If it's just you again his numbers and
- 29:21Speaker 2: you think, wow, how that happened?
- 29:22Speaker 1: Hundred point game? There are people trying to say it
- 29:24Speaker 1: didn't really happen. Yeah, one hundred point game happened. Twenty
- 29:27Speaker 1: k I'm calling bs on. Now that's where that's where
- 29:29Speaker 1: I'm calling. He was playing against a team of fitty Marlows.
- 29:33Speaker 1: All right, Mac, My last story here a Florida man,
- 29:37Speaker 1: fifty seven year old what's this guy's name, James Tidwell
- 29:42Speaker 1: with taking into custody Hillsboro County for stealing power tools
- 29:46Speaker 1: from a boat cabin. Now, the rub to this story
- 29:49Speaker 1: is he was dressed as Superman when he stole these things.
- 29:53Speaker 1: So when the police been looking for him, they said,
- 29:56Speaker 1: did you steal tools from a cabin? A man name
- 30:00Speaker 1: a man dressed as Superman was spotted? He said, no,
- 30:02Speaker 1: wasn't me. They said, are you? Sherry said, yeah, that
- 30:05Speaker 1: was me.
- 30:06Speaker 2: That's gold. Maybe if you're gonna steal from your neighbors,
- 30:10Speaker 2: you don't dress as Superman and he won't be caught
- 30:13Speaker 2: as easily.
- 30:13Speaker 1: What they believe we doing. Seriously, dresses a villain, dresses
- 30:16Speaker 1: a penguin. If you're gonna do bad stuff, can you
- 30:18Speaker 1: imagine kids scarred for life when they see Superman, like
- 30:20Speaker 1: getting locked up, getting cuffed and stuffed.
- 30:22Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that'll ruin a kid's life right there.
- 30:25Speaker 1: And then if the kid rode his bike over that
- 30:27Speaker 1: dang spiked over those spikes in a neighbor's yard.
- 30:30Speaker 2: But if you rob somebody asked, Superman, why are you
- 30:35Speaker 2: still wearing it? Like, go go ahead and change, then
- 30:39Speaker 2: deny change in your Riddler outfit afterwards. Please.
- 30:43Speaker 1: By the way, speaking of superheroes, bone, a showing of
- 30:46Speaker 1: Spider Man up in New York had to be evacuated
- 30:49Speaker 1: because somebody had really bad gas in the theater.
- 30:51Speaker 2: The whole theater. What we do? What the bleep we
- 30:53Speaker 2: do in there?
- 30:54Speaker 4: Sir?
- 30:55Speaker 1: I just thought of something, though, Bone as messed up
- 30:57Speaker 1: as that is. I one of us few superpowers is gas.
- 31:02Speaker 1: I wonder if I could just ruin the nights of
- 31:04Speaker 1: all these superhero dorks like Fiddy and Wes, and I
- 31:08Speaker 1: could just go gas out a theater where they're trying
- 31:10Speaker 1: to get their superhero movie on.
- 31:12Speaker 2: Get take out an arena.
- 31:13Speaker 1: You watch Big Brother and Traders, but because we.
- 31:17Speaker 2: Like tremendous entertaining, what's wrong with either of them? What's
- 31:21Speaker 2: wrong with Trading? Yes, sir? What is wrong with those
- 31:23Speaker 2: judgment you don't know anything about?
- 31:24Speaker 1: How are you judgment for liking superheroes when you want
- 31:26Speaker 1: nothing about them? I don't be against game of Throne
- 31:29Speaker 1: you know what I know about superheroes Star Wars. I
- 31:31Speaker 1: did watch Game of throw I watched Game of Thrones
- 31:34Speaker 1: for a season and instead, how did you watch it
- 31:36Speaker 1: for a season?
- 31:37Speaker 2: And said, I didn't find it to be as great
- 31:39Speaker 2: as you show.
- 31:39Speaker 1: Me because it's super sophisticated for your tiny ass, Brak.
- 31:42Speaker 1: Because when I think sophistication, I think you, sir. What
- 31:46Speaker 1: I'm trying to say about superheroes Fitty is and man
- 31:49Speaker 1: you are defensive kid is Yes. I love superheroes when
- 31:53Speaker 1: I was a kid, and then I actually grew up.
- 31:56Speaker 1: What are you saying that they're they're not for adults?
- 31:59Speaker 1: They shouldn't be time I check the heroes or adults.
- 32:03Speaker 1: Batman is an adult. Iron Man is an adult Peter Parker.
- 32:07Speaker 1: We're seeing him transition from teenager into an adult iron Man.
- 32:11Speaker 2: They God iron Man is Kyle Ripkin. I thought it
- 32:14Speaker 2: was JJ Janssen, JJ Jansen.
- 32:18Speaker 1: How can adult figures be just for kids? We watch these.
- 32:21Speaker 2: Heroes wrestlers are adults. That's just for kids too.
- 32:25Speaker 1: Like there's certain things that when you grow up and
- 32:27Speaker 1: realize they're not really real, they're just kind of kiddy things,
- 32:31Speaker 1: and most people grow out of the superhero thing. I
- 32:35Speaker 1: am very ashamed how many of you men, grown men,
- 32:37Speaker 1: have not grown out of the superhero thing. Seriously, you're
- 32:39Speaker 1: not eight anymore. By the way, Money Night Raw was
- 32:42Speaker 1: pretty good last night. Are you? Are you the epitome
- 32:45Speaker 1: of manhood? Someone that can't drive his wife, can't grill
- 32:49Speaker 1: for his wife? God, you are flailing. The superheroes just
- 32:53Speaker 1: got personal.
- 32:54Speaker 2: Yes, I can't say something somebody. Can you really judge
- 32:59Speaker 2: anyone for having a wife?
- 33:01Speaker 1: No, But I don't think that I'm less of a
- 33:05Speaker 1: man because I like superhero I wouldn't say you're less
- 33:08Speaker 1: of a man. You told me that we need to
- 33:09Speaker 1: grow up. Yeah, you're a little You haven't grown up yet.
- 33:12Speaker 1: You're a little You're a little little kiddy. I don't
- 33:14Speaker 1: want in a grown man's bald body. Maybe I want
- 33:16Speaker 1: to be Peter Peg would have never never laid I've
- 33:19Speaker 1: been there for four and a half.
- 33:20Speaker 2: Yees, Zach?
- 33:22Speaker 1: Why does this guy still called Zach Calzada for heis?
- 33:24Speaker 1: But this guy needs to sorry, you need a new
- 33:26Speaker 1: text name, he says, what's Mac the fun Police? Yeah?
- 33:29Speaker 2: Maybe maybe it is. We're gonna make this guy Kenny
- 33:32Speaker 2: Minshee for Heisman. When we that is the Kentucky quarterby
- 33:37Speaker 2: this year, right, Yeah, nore to name transfer, got it. Yeah,
- 33:39Speaker 2: I was gonna lose a lot of games when we
- 33:42Speaker 2: come back in the Mac and Bone. Just speaking of
- 33:44Speaker 2: the SEC, A couple of SEC media guys way in
- 33:47Speaker 2: on the Big Ten dominance and whether or not it
- 33:50Speaker 2: will continue. Maybe Kentucky Mack will stop that Sports Radio
- 33:54Speaker 2: ninety two seven.
- 34:14Speaker 8: But if I were to say over the next five years,
- 34:16Speaker 8: regardless of what's happened the past three seasons, the next
- 34:20Speaker 8: five years, if I were to tell you that the
- 34:23Speaker 8: SEC would get back to dominating in college football, would
- 34:28Speaker 8: you buy or sell that?
- 34:30Speaker 6: I would sell that. And the reason why would sell
- 34:32Speaker 6: it isn't that the Big Ten is going to dominate.
- 34:35Speaker 6: But I'm not sure there's going to be a domination.
- 34:38Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think.
- 34:40Speaker 6: The SEC will after five years, and I don't even
- 34:45Speaker 6: I think Notre Dame may get a championship in the
- 34:47Speaker 6: midst of this, so I think it will be pretty split.
- 34:50Speaker 6: I think the SEC will bounce back. I think the
- 34:53Speaker 6: Big Ten will win again, but I don't think you're
- 34:55Speaker 6: going to get a run again. What we're seeing over
- 34:59Speaker 6: the se and really even in this three years is
- 35:02Speaker 6: really an aberration. It's just Aspiian big man. Do you
- 35:05Speaker 6: know how tough it it's to win a title. But
- 35:08Speaker 6: I think the SEC is in a good spot. It's
- 35:11Speaker 6: just it's gonna take someone, whether it's Turkisia, whether it's
- 35:14Speaker 6: Kirby Smart, whether it's Lane Kiffen, to just get through
- 35:20Speaker 6: where the SEC has not been able to get through
- 35:23Speaker 6: the last couple of years.
- 35:24Speaker 1: That is Paul Fine bomb On with Crane and Combe
- 35:28Speaker 1: the podcast with Jay Crane and the Boys. He has
- 35:32Speaker 1: been He's been pretty honest Bone about the SEC and
- 35:37Speaker 1: the Big Ten and the Big Ten taking it to
- 35:40Speaker 1: the SEC on the field and in the trash talk game.
- 35:43Speaker 1: And I don't really have a huge problem with what
- 35:45Speaker 1: he said there. The SEC will respond. I'm not naive
- 35:49Speaker 1: enough to think Bone, oh yeah, we ain't going to
- 35:52Speaker 1: see the SEC win a title for about five more year.
- 35:54Speaker 1: I'm not naive enough to believe that. But he did acknowledge, Hey,
- 35:59Speaker 1: I'm not sure anybody's going to dominate the way and
- 36:02Speaker 1: we'll see, we'll see how the regulation of the sport,
- 36:06Speaker 1: if it does actually occur, changes things. But yeah, I
- 36:09Speaker 1: don't have a problem with that. Takebone, that I don't
- 36:12Speaker 1: see anybody really dominating because this NIL stuff has really
- 36:17Speaker 1: spre the portal, has spread the talent out.
- 36:20Speaker 8: You know.
- 36:20Speaker 2: Yeah, when you list back the national title contenders in
- 36:24Speaker 2: your opinion entering the season, where is the first SEC
- 36:27Speaker 2: team in that list? Is there an SEC team in
- 36:32Speaker 2: the top five? Is it on the right at number five?
- 36:35Speaker 2: Because I look at Ohio State, Miami, Notre Dame, Oregon,
- 36:41Speaker 2: Indiana's right there on the cusp of those teams, because
- 36:45Speaker 2: you have to respect what they've done. Texas and Georgia
- 36:49Speaker 2: are teams that can be in that mix. But where
- 36:51Speaker 2: are they if you rank those teams out And in
- 36:54Speaker 2: the past, we'd always have an SEC team at the
- 36:56Speaker 2: top of that list. But Texas and Georgia Mac, how
- 36:59Speaker 2: do fall into that order? Of those teams I wisted
- 37:02Speaker 2: right there.
- 37:03Speaker 1: I gotta be honest, I think it's possible none are
- 37:06Speaker 1: in the top five. I think it's possible Notre Dame,
- 37:08Speaker 1: Miami and three Big Ten schools are the top five.
- 37:11Speaker 1: Maybe I'm being a little harsh, but to your point,
- 37:14Speaker 1: I think in the top seven schools, maybe there's two
- 37:17Speaker 1: in the SEC like it ain't like they might be
- 37:19Speaker 1: at the back end of that seven it I would
- 37:22Speaker 1: put them there. It ain't like the good old days.
- 37:24Speaker 2: And I mean that's and there's I know Texas has
- 37:27Speaker 2: a ton of talent, but there's a trust issue that
- 37:29Speaker 2: I have where I have to I have to see
- 37:32Speaker 2: Texas after last year with Arch. I need to see them.
- 37:36Speaker 2: I know that they've got a lot of good players,
- 37:38Speaker 2: but I don't if I trust those teams that I
- 37:41Speaker 2: listed there more than I trust Texas entering the season.
- 37:45Speaker 1: Is Texas's offensive line? It wasn't good enough last year?
- 37:47Speaker 1: Offensive line gonna be good enough this year? They got
- 37:50Speaker 1: They got Arch banged around last year. Man, they really did.
- 37:54Speaker 1: Are they gonna be able to beat a team like
- 37:56Speaker 1: Georgia even with Texas like a physical team in the trenches?
- 37:58Speaker 1: Georgia punks them. And you don't think somebody these big
- 38:01Speaker 1: ten schools can bring to physical football. You don't think
- 38:04Speaker 1: Miami can. Christo baul By the way contract extension, long
- 38:07Speaker 1: term contract extension for him, well deserved. But yeah, I
- 38:12Speaker 1: just I don't don't get me wrong. Bone, Like, you know,
- 38:14Speaker 1: there's a conversation about this year that we can have
- 38:17Speaker 1: and I'm sure we'll have it. Like do we think
- 38:19Speaker 1: the SEC breaks the you know, the schneid whoever the
- 38:23Speaker 1: hell I'm trying to say, the slump of not being
- 38:26Speaker 1: in the title game for three years. But there's also
- 38:29Speaker 1: just the general conversation of will the SEC take the
- 38:32Speaker 1: dominance back?
- 38:33Speaker 2: Will the Big ten continue?
- 38:35Speaker 1: I thought something very interesting bone from is he still
- 38:38Speaker 1: a barstool? He's still a barstool, right, Brandon Walker? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 38:41Speaker 1: barstool's Brandon Walker, big SEC guy, Mississippi State guy.
- 38:45Speaker 2: Right.
- 38:46Speaker 1: I thought he said something very interesting and honest. He
- 38:50Speaker 1: basically said that I don't think this Big ten dominance
- 38:54Speaker 1: is close to the end just yet.
- 38:57Speaker 2: Listen to this.
- 38:58Speaker 4: I think we're closer to the beginning of Big ten
- 39:01Speaker 4: dominance than we are the end of Big ten dominance.
- 39:05Speaker 4: Here's what I mean. They've won three straight national titles.
- 39:08Speaker 4: I believe we're settling in for the long haul of
- 39:11Speaker 4: the Big ten being on top of the sport unless
- 39:14Speaker 4: the SEC makes some changes. When you look back at
- 39:17Speaker 4: the SEC's dominance, what started with Florida in two thousand
- 39:20Speaker 4: and six when they lost the game and they were
- 39:23Speaker 4: able to get into the game against Ohio State and
- 39:26Speaker 4: they killed them. Next year, lsu wins with two losses
- 39:29Speaker 4: wins the national title. But for those first couple of years,
- 39:32Speaker 4: it was Florida on top. Then it was LSU, and
- 39:34Speaker 4: in two thousand and eight and two thousand and nine
- 39:36Speaker 4: here comes Alabama. The first couple of years of that
- 39:38Speaker 4: SEC run, it was just a couple of elite teams
- 39:41Speaker 4: at the very very top. By three or four years
- 39:44Speaker 4: in what happened was the rest of the SEC responded
- 39:48Speaker 4: to that dominance. Alabama goes and gets saving, Auburn spends
- 39:51Speaker 4: all the money and gets Cam Newton. All these teams
- 39:54Speaker 4: or Georgia ends up going down the road that ends
- 39:56Speaker 4: up with Kirby Smart in twenty sixteen. All these teams
- 39:59Speaker 4: got there together because the top was so strong. So
- 40:02Speaker 4: what happened was a trickle down effect. All of a sudden,
- 40:05Speaker 4: the rest of the SEC is strong as right now,
- 40:08Speaker 4: the Big ten is top heavy. You've got Indiana, Oregon,
- 40:11Speaker 4: Ohio State at the top of it. I think what's
- 40:14Speaker 4: gonna happen is some of these other teams are gonna
- 40:17Speaker 4: wake up and that Big ten is going to be
- 40:18Speaker 4: strongest throughout the entire conference.
- 40:23Speaker 2: Hicky means, you know, with Kyle Winningham at Michigan in
- 40:26Speaker 2: the stability he could provide them if he does what
- 40:29Speaker 2: today you thaw, Michigan will be right in that group.
- 40:32Speaker 2: Penn State and Matt Campbell very good coach. They are
- 40:35Speaker 2: at least going to be in the playoff mix. And
- 40:37Speaker 2: I don't trust trust Lincoln Riley, but USC is still
- 40:41Speaker 2: a program that you could see them if they get
- 40:44Speaker 2: the right guy in place, if things go the right way,
- 40:46Speaker 2: there's that next tier of the three that he mentioned
- 40:48Speaker 2: there that if they figure some things out, that is
- 40:52Speaker 2: that is depth like the SEC often acts.
- 40:54Speaker 1: Well, that's the SEC fans worst nightmare because right now
- 40:57Speaker 1: they can still argue about our depth, right And I
- 40:59Speaker 1: still would agree that the SEC is the deepest conference,
- 41:02Speaker 1: But I don't judge the best conference by just line
- 41:05Speaker 1: them up one through seventeen. What's your one versus their one?
- 41:08Speaker 1: Because I don't really care about seventeen versus seventeen or
- 41:11Speaker 1: sixteen verse sixteen, whatever it gets down. I don't even
- 41:13Speaker 1: know how many teams, but you know what I'm saying.
- 41:14Speaker 1: But in fifteen verse fifteen, like that doesn't mean anything
- 41:17Speaker 1: to me. Like SEC fans want to get excited because
- 41:19Speaker 1: Mississippi State would kick the heck out of Northwestern's booty.
- 41:22Speaker 2: That means nothing to me.
- 41:24Speaker 1: When the SEC is failing on the playoff stage like
- 41:27Speaker 1: they have in recent years, George is the best they've
- 41:30Speaker 1: had to offer. The last two years their champ, they
- 41:33Speaker 1: hadn't won a damn playoff game. Alabama couldn't stay with him.
- 41:37Speaker 1: They lost by five touchdowns to Indiana. So like, I like,
- 41:42Speaker 1: that's the SEC fans' worst nightmare if the Big ten
- 41:44Speaker 1: gets deeper bone because holy crap, what will they say then?
- 41:48Speaker 2: Man? Yeah. Also Brandon Walker there who we heard from
- 41:51Speaker 2: Barstool and the Brandon Walker College Football Show. Matt we
- 41:54Speaker 2: mentioned the seven teams now we viewed as contenders. He
- 41:58Speaker 2: threw an eighth one in there. He thinks Oklahoma is
- 42:02Speaker 2: a national title contender because of their defense with venables,
- 42:05Speaker 2: and he compared them to Indiana where they will just
- 42:08Speaker 2: shut people down defensively. So he threw Oklahoma in the
- 42:11Speaker 2: mix as a national contemper.
- 42:13Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if if I go national
- 42:16Speaker 1: title contender, but I think they're definitely a playoff team,
- 42:18Speaker 1: I really do. I think Lane Kivin can make the
- 42:20Speaker 1: playoff in year one as well. Like I think there
- 42:23Speaker 1: can be a lot of SEC teams in the playoff
- 42:25Speaker 1: I just missed could be one when it comes time.
- 42:28Speaker 1: They could too when it comes time. Though, Am I
- 42:30Speaker 1: betting on the SEC teams to advance in the playoffs
- 42:33Speaker 1: over the five teams I just gave you? Probably not.
- 42:35Speaker 1: We'll see how the season plays out. What's also happening too,
- 42:39Speaker 1: is it's not just the Big Ten. We now have
- 42:42Speaker 1: Miami as a major factor again in Notre Dame in
- 42:46Speaker 1: this format has proven. I know they got left out
- 42:48Speaker 1: last year, but Notre Dame is no longer just a
- 42:51Speaker 1: round for the ride. They Yeah, they beat Ohio State
- 42:54Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, they are a factor now.
- 42:57Speaker 2: They are a factor to go deep.
- 42:58Speaker 1: And you throw in the fact that I think I
- 43:01Speaker 1: think they've got the Heisman Trophy winner. I think CJ.
- 43:03Speaker 1: Car is gonna win the Heisman Trophy because that Notre
- 43:06Speaker 1: Dame bone. We hadn't seen a quarterback like this, We
- 43:08Speaker 1: hadn't seen a throw of football like they're about to
- 43:10Speaker 1: this year. That's another dimension for them. And you can't
- 43:13Speaker 1: tell me the voters won't love to hand it out
- 43:16Speaker 1: to a Golden domer.
- 43:17Speaker 2: I hope, you know, I hope he doesn't win any
- 43:19Speaker 2: not a notre damn guy.
- 43:21Speaker 1: No, not at all, but Uncle Boomjay Boomjay was though
- 43:24Speaker 1: boodro boo.
- 43:26Speaker 2: Why do I screw that up every time? My bad?
- 43:28Speaker 2: My bad?
- 43:29Speaker 1: Uh the superhero We'll talk about it. We got there's
- 43:32Speaker 1: another conversation here to be had, like is it like
- 43:34Speaker 1: this year specifically? What do y'all think SEC fans and
- 43:38Speaker 1: non SEC fans do they break the slump this year?
- 43:42Speaker 1: There's a conversation to have more specifically about this year too.
- 43:45Speaker 1: But I just love the parody. We had a texture
- 43:47Speaker 1: that said, never has there been a more uh more
- 43:51Speaker 1: obvious sign of how much the SEC was paying people?
- 43:54Speaker 1: Bone Now that everybody can pay people, and now the
- 43:57Speaker 1: balance of power that we have, it's it's hard. It's
- 44:01Speaker 1: hard not to agree with that point, uh bone. Superhero
- 44:04Speaker 1: Nation very upset with me, very upset with me still
- 44:08Speaker 1: uh so Wrestling Nation.
- 44:09Speaker 2: Yes, a lot of y'all are upset. I've made a
- 44:15Speaker 2: lot of enemies. On today's show, I'm telling you to Tuesday,
- 44:18Speaker 2: Mac just fights everybody.
- 44:19Speaker 1: Is that what happens? Yeah, Alpha Nation says, Mac, giggles
- 44:22Speaker 1: at curse words and judges people for acting childish. Another
- 44:26Speaker 1: I was just I just he was very brazen with
- 44:28Speaker 1: the cussing. Cussing.
- 44:29Speaker 2: I was kind of I don't know, I was kind
- 44:31Speaker 2: of amused by it.
- 44:32Speaker 1: But anyway, another texter says, Mac just told us his
- 44:36Speaker 1: superpower is gas, but yet wants to call us childlike
- 44:41Speaker 1: for watching and not mature for watching superhero movies.
- 44:44Speaker 2: I liked the guy that said mac superhero skill is
- 44:47Speaker 2: eating chicken wings. He's judged other people.
- 44:49Speaker 1: You know you better. I'm maybe I am a super
- 44:51Speaker 1: Maybe I should have break wing man. Yeah, I'm super
- 44:54Speaker 1: wing eating mine. Oh man. Anyway, that's funny. I I
- 45:00Speaker 1: knew woul get a rise because superhero dudes. I feel like,
- 45:04Speaker 1: I don't know there's something about y'all because I think
- 45:06Speaker 1: y'all want to come out fighting like you are a
- 45:08Speaker 1: superhero or something, you know what I mean, Like I
- 45:10Speaker 1: think you want to shoot that green lantern ring right
- 45:13Speaker 1: at me this morning. Fitty is stewing right now.
