- 0:34Speaker 3: I seen that. Him and old T-Mac. I said, who
- 0:37Speaker 3: do y'all think y'all are?
- 0:39Speaker 4: Y'all are speedy.
- 0:40Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 0:41Speaker 3: And I love it.
- 0:42Speaker 4: I said, goodness gracious.
- 0:44Speaker 2: Boy, that boy was out there willing and dealing.
- 0:47Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 0:47Speaker 2: Boy, that boy was out there having some fun. with
- 0:50Speaker 2: the most innocent face.
- 0:51Speaker 3: Yeah, I know.
- 0:51Speaker 4: Innocent?
- 0:52Speaker 3: I mean, boy! You know what you gotta look at there, dude?
- 0:57Speaker 2: Ever since Bryce Young got benched, boy, he came back
- 1:02Speaker 2: with Avengers. Ever since his girl got took, but Cam,
- 1:06Speaker 2: why you gotta do all that? Boy, I'm telling you,
- 1:08Speaker 2: it's something.
- 1:09Speaker 1: About you, bro.
- 1:17Speaker 6: Welcome back to the Mac and Bone show on this
- 1:19Speaker 6: football Friday. That was the voice of Panthers legend Cam
- 1:22Speaker 6: Newton right there and Peggy as well on their podcast.
- 1:26Speaker 3: Maccas, you were in the hallway. Everything okay out there
- 1:28Speaker 3: right now? I was congratulating Tampa Tammy on getting out
- 1:31Speaker 3: of the donut club, getting out of the zero win club.
- 1:35Speaker 3: I was giving her sarcastic applause. She then wanted to
- 1:38Speaker 3: show me where her seats will be. on Monday Night
- 1:42Speaker 3: Football for the Panthers and the Bucs. And I told
- 1:45Speaker 3: her she will be crying hysterically in those seats. Those
- 1:49Speaker 3: seats will be dripping with tears. That also could be
- 1:51Speaker 3: a Sunday at 1 p.m.
- 1:52Speaker 5: Game there, Tammy.
- 1:53Speaker 3: Your team doesn't get better. It's not us.
- 1:56Speaker 6: That is making that a possible flex game. They want
- 2:00Speaker 6: the Panthers in primetime. They need us in primetime because
- 2:03Speaker 6: Bryce-a-mania is running wild, brother.
- 2:06Speaker 3: Slow clap, slow clap. Dallas, I thought, was really bad
- 2:09Speaker 3: last night, but the Bucs needed that win. And the Cowboys,
- 2:12Speaker 3: in typical Cowboy annoying fashion, it's very rare occasions when
- 2:17Speaker 3: they're playing NFC South teams that I actually pull for them.
- 2:22Speaker 3: And I feel like, bone, anytime I try to, they
- 2:25Speaker 3: just let me down. So, Cowboys, let's just mock you.
- 2:28Speaker 3: Let's spend the day mocking you then.
- 2:30Speaker 6: You had the full Cowboy experience, though. You rooted for them,
- 2:33Speaker 6: they let you down. It's true. If you start wearing
- 2:36Speaker 6: jorts and talking about 93, well, then you might be
- 2:38Speaker 6: a Cowboy.
- 2:39Speaker 3: Shoot, now I know why y'all talk about the 90s
- 2:41Speaker 3: all the time. That was frustrating. All right, let's talk about—
- 2:46Speaker 3: That was Cowboys. Let's talk, Boney, about the Panthers post-bye week.
- 2:53Speaker 3: Let's start to look ahead to the next quarter of
- 2:56Speaker 3: the season. I heard Mike Kay on with KB yesterday
- 2:59Speaker 3: saying this is the first time in five years the
- 3:01Speaker 3: Panthers have not had a losing record in the first
- 3:03Speaker 3: quarter of the season. So even though 2-2, you're looking
- 3:06Speaker 3: at that Browns game like, damn, we were so close
- 3:09Speaker 3: to being 3-1 and having a really good start to
- 3:11Speaker 3: the season record-wise. But two and two, based on the
- 3:14Speaker 3: way we've started seasons recently, is an upgrade.
- 3:19Speaker 6: Especially after the way the first game went. Yes, the
- 3:23Speaker 6: offense played well, but it looked like, oh my goodness.
- 3:26Speaker 6: Is this defense back to two years ago? Are they
- 3:29Speaker 6: that bad? So from what the vibes were on that
- 3:32Speaker 6: Monday after game one to what they are now by week,
- 3:36Speaker 6: it could have been a lot worse to be two
- 3:39Speaker 6: and two than what we saw after the first game.
- 3:42Speaker 6: Defense seventh in EPA over the last three weeks. So
- 3:45Speaker 6: I can definitely tell you, Bone, that is not what
- 3:48Speaker 6: they're going to look like.
- 3:50Speaker 3: Every week. But I think because of the injuries, I
- 3:53Speaker 3: think two and two bone feels a certain way because
- 3:56Speaker 3: they've been so ravaged by injuries. You know, I think that,
- 4:00Speaker 3: I think that is what, like, you'll get the occasional
- 4:02Speaker 3: texter that's like, we're two and two, why are you
- 4:05Speaker 3: guys acting like, why are you this happy? And it's like,
- 4:07Speaker 3: because of what they overcame, because of the volume of
- 4:09Speaker 3: injuries and the fact, bone, that you know some of
- 4:12Speaker 3: these guys are coming back. And it's just, what did
- 4:14Speaker 3: we say last week? Just, hold down the fort, just
- 4:18Speaker 3: hang in there until you start getting more and more
- 4:21Speaker 3: guys back. So that's why that win was so freaking
- 4:24Speaker 3: huge on Sunday. But now the question is, what do
- 4:28Speaker 3: we do in the next quarter of the season? So
- 4:31Speaker 3: I want to take advantage of this bye week to
- 4:33Speaker 3: kind of look ahead to the next four games. We've
- 4:36Speaker 3: already talked a bunch about the fact that These first
- 4:39Speaker 3: three opponents have all looked, I think, worse than we
- 4:42Speaker 3: expected them all to be. Far from guarantees that you're
- 4:45Speaker 3: going to win the next three. But you've got, after
- 4:49Speaker 3: the Eagles come back from London, they then, which is
- 4:53Speaker 3: not advantageous for them, for next week's game, they then
- 4:57Speaker 3: host the Panthers next week. The week after that, it
- 5:00Speaker 3: is the Panthers and the Buccaneers. Then after that, it's
- 5:07Speaker 3: the Packers hosting the Panthers. That's a Thursday night game.
- 5:12Speaker 3: And then it is Panthers at home the next week
- 5:14Speaker 3: against the Broncos. Who have their own situations going on
- 5:18Speaker 3: right now. It's another team that I would say, I mean,
- 5:21Speaker 3: I know that record-wise it hasn't been horrible, but... You
- 5:24Speaker 3: look at the Broncos, and their offense is 27th in EPA.
- 5:28Speaker 3: Sean Payton yesterday officially announced that he is taking the
- 5:32Speaker 3: play-calling duties back, which, by the way, when he announced
- 5:36Speaker 3: Davis Webb was calling plays in the summer, everybody thought, yeah,
- 5:40Speaker 3: that day will come. This day will come.
- 5:42Speaker 6: It's almost like he wants to be the hero to
- 5:44Speaker 6: swoop in and save the offense, but maybe that's just me.
- 5:50Speaker 3: These games are winnable. But as we know in the NFL,
- 5:53Speaker 3: and as we know with the Carolina Panthers, win one,
- 5:55Speaker 3: lose one, win one, lose one, we know they're losable too.
- 5:58Speaker 3: So I ask everybody out there that's listening in Panther Nation,
- 6:03Speaker 3: those four games, Eagles, Bucks, Green Bay, Denver, what do
- 6:08Speaker 3: you think for the next quarter of the season? How
- 6:13Speaker 3: many wins do you see in there, Bo?
- 6:15Speaker 6: I see three and one, which would be great. I
- 6:18Speaker 6: think they're three and one. I think they're going to
- 6:20Speaker 6: beat Tampa Bay. Part of me thinks that they're going
- 6:23Speaker 6: to beat Green Bay again. I'm trying to debate because
- 6:27Speaker 6: I don't think 4-0 would be a realistic thing to say.
- 6:30Speaker 6: So I do think they'll lose one. I don't know
- 6:34Speaker 6: if it'll be Philadelphia. Philadelphia, man, we have to see
- 6:36Speaker 6: after Sunday how much of a mess they are because
- 6:39Speaker 6: I'm trending towards they're also going to get the Eagles
- 6:42Speaker 6: at the right time, I think, with their offensive line stuff,
- 6:45Speaker 6: just their general vibe.
- 6:47Speaker 3: Denver, maybe?
- 6:49Speaker 6: Will be a loss in part because I will be
- 6:51Speaker 6: at that game. And if I check my numbers since 2021,
- 6:55Speaker 6: I'm 0-12 when I watch my football teams in attendance.
- 6:58Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, just chalk that one. We shouldn't even watch.
- 7:01Speaker 6: I get the sense that they'll most likely lose when
- 7:04Speaker 6: I'm there. So I will say 3-1 up with Denver.
- 7:07Speaker 6: Probably has the best team of that group, of course,
- 7:10Speaker 6: with the way Philadelphia's playing.
- 7:11Speaker 3: So I'll go 3-1. I think 3-1 would be a
- 7:14Speaker 3: really freaking good quarter. I think that would be taking
- 7:17Speaker 3: a step forward. And I think we're going to get
- 7:20Speaker 3: HN back. It sounds like Turk and Moten are pretty
- 7:23Speaker 3: close to coming back. And then once we get through
- 7:25Speaker 3: this quarter, then you're going to be probably pretty close
- 7:28Speaker 3: to Mike Jack. And you're going to start to get
- 7:30Speaker 3: closer to J.C. Horn. So there will be help on
- 7:33Speaker 3: the way here eventually, which I love. I think this
- 7:36Speaker 3: Panther team has a chance, Bone, getting these guys back
- 7:40Speaker 3: by the end of the season to really be playing
- 7:42Speaker 3: good football and to really be an improved good team.
- 7:46Speaker 3: I just want to say this. Recent history of the
- 7:49Speaker 3: Carolina Panthers, Bone, what would it say the record will be?
- 7:54Speaker 3: Two and two. Yeah. Because it's the lose one, lose
- 7:57Speaker 3: one thing you said. Win one, lose one. Win one,
- 8:01Speaker 3: lose one. What did I say? Lose one, lose one.
- 8:04Speaker 3: That was the Frank Reich Panthers and the Matt Ruhle Panthers.
- 8:08Speaker 3: Frank Reich was lose ten, win none.
- 8:12Speaker 6: Matt Ruhle was lose one, lose another one, lose the
- 8:15Speaker 6: next one, lose the one after that, get fired.
- 8:18Speaker 3: So I know this is being conservative. My goal is
- 8:21Speaker 3: three and one. That's another conversation we can have, too.
- 8:24Speaker 3: What do you think their record will be? What are
- 8:26Speaker 3: you aiming for? I think 3-1 is a very achievable,
- 8:31Speaker 3: reasonable goal. Then you'd be two games over. 500 at
- 8:36Speaker 3: close to the halfway point. I think we're better than
- 8:40Speaker 3: the Bucs. I think we're better than the Eagles right now.
- 8:43Speaker 3: And the Packers are certainly, I don't think Jordan Love's
- 8:47Speaker 3: playing great. They've got all kind of issues on their
- 8:49Speaker 3: defense and on their own line.
- 8:51Speaker 6: Michael Parsons will probably be back for that game, right?
- 8:54Speaker 6: Keep that in mind, right? That's right around the time
- 8:55Speaker 6: he should be back, right? Yeah, he could be back
- 8:58Speaker 6: for that game, no doubt about it. But I think
- 9:00Speaker 6: we're better than the next three teams that we play.
- 9:04Speaker 6: I think I'm just going to put us at two
- 9:05Speaker 6: and two because we don't like to see the Browns game, Bone.
- 9:09Speaker 3: We don't beat this just in. The Panthers don't necessarily, Bone,
- 9:13Speaker 3: beat the teams they should beat all the time. See
- 9:16Speaker 3: the two Saints games last year. So I'm going to
- 9:19Speaker 3: go kind of conservative, and I'm going to challenge the
- 9:22Speaker 3: Panthers to go three and one in this stretch. I'm
- 9:25Speaker 3: sure they're all paying attention on our biweek, Bone, to
- 9:27Speaker 3: my challenge. They all put over in their cars. Hey, listen,
- 9:30Speaker 3: take a note. They're recording this. They're taking notes like
- 9:32Speaker 3: they're Carly Ursae Gordon right now. Listen in. I'm going
- 9:36Speaker 3: to challenge them. Go get three and one. That will
- 9:38Speaker 3: show growth. And I think there's a very good chance
- 9:40Speaker 3: they can do three and one. I am just going
- 9:42Speaker 3: to play recent trends and say two and two. But, like,
- 9:45Speaker 3: what games would I say they're going to lose? Because
- 9:47Speaker 3: I do think they're better than the next three. If
- 9:50Speaker 3: they lose one of the next three, who would you
- 9:54Speaker 3: say is most likely? Well, Thursday night. Will the Bucs
- 9:59Speaker 3: have Bakerman?
- 10:00Speaker 6: Thursday nights are kind of crazy thursday nights are hard
- 10:02Speaker 6: to predict as we saw last night those are yeah are.
- 10:04Speaker 3: We going to sweep them in lambo back-to-back years i'd.
- 10:07Speaker 6: Say green bay probably you think that's the most again
- 10:09Speaker 6: that goes into my concern about the style of of
- 10:12Speaker 6: green bay and their ability to throw the ball down
- 10:14Speaker 6: the field and take shots and the secondary issues that
- 10:17Speaker 6: we're still going to have then that that that would
- 10:19Speaker 6: be my concern with that of is that caleb evans
- 10:22Speaker 6: in there on Watson or Golden, they are going to
- 10:25Speaker 6: try to take advantage of that all night long. So
- 10:27Speaker 6: there's a ways to go before that, but I probably
- 10:29Speaker 6: would say of those three, Green Bay, one of our
- 10:33Speaker 6: texters back is worried about quarterbacks that can move like
- 10:37Speaker 6: Hurts or Like Daniels, like Bo Nix, he's a little
- 10:40Speaker 6: concerned about quarterbacks that can move in the pocket.
- 10:43Speaker 3: That's a good call. Lord knows we saw it with
- 10:47Speaker 3: the lack of contain with Williams and Watson. And I
- 10:50Speaker 3: don't want to act like the Broncos. Every one of
- 10:53Speaker 3: these four games is winnable. And I have to be
- 10:55Speaker 3: honest with you, I have taken a peak, Boney. I
- 10:57Speaker 3: have taken a peek at the rest of the schedule,
- 11:00Speaker 3: not just the front. I'm already breaking Coach Canales' rule
- 11:03Speaker 3: of looking past one game, but that's what we do here.
- 11:07Speaker 3: But the whole schedule, there are a whole bunch of
- 11:10Speaker 3: winnable games on the schedule. Like the only game, matter
- 11:14Speaker 3: of fact, there's none that aren't winnable. If you were
- 11:17Speaker 3: to tell me, Bone, they would beat Seattle at home,
- 11:19Speaker 3: despite what happened last year, Seattle at home, I would say, yeah,
- 11:22Speaker 3: they can do that. The Panthers are capable of that.
- 11:25Speaker 3: Beat the Rams at home last year, you know? Yeah.
- 11:28Speaker 3: So like it is a schedule bone where it, every
- 11:31Speaker 3: game feels like they could win it or they could
- 11:34Speaker 3: lose it.
- 11:34Speaker 6: Mac, I had some well-documented issues with New Orleans last year.
- 11:37Speaker 6: That was a three scores galore, the home game. And I,
- 11:42Speaker 6: I had some problems back with the saints and it's
- 11:44Speaker 6: been talked about a lot. Am I allowed to, I'm
- 11:47Speaker 6: not allowed to look past these four and look at
- 11:49Speaker 6: New Orleans, but me specifically, I've, I can't look at
- 11:52Speaker 6: New Orleans, right? I can't look at the way they're
- 11:54Speaker 6: playing right now. I can't do that, right?
- 11:57Speaker 3: Just stop me right now. You can look at it,
- 11:58Speaker 3: but you better not go multiple scores galore or a
- 12:02Speaker 3: bunch of horrifying gore or whatever you're going to do.
- 12:06Speaker 6: New Orleans has– all these teams there all have their problems,
- 12:10Speaker 6: including New Orleans. So I'm just– I notice. I notice
- 12:15Speaker 6: the Saints there after these four games– I just noticed that.
- 12:18Speaker 3: Well, dude, you should be looking for the Falcons game
- 12:20Speaker 3: because based off some of the texts we've been getting
- 12:23Speaker 3: since Atlanta has had the two route wins on the road,
- 12:26Speaker 3: we are going to be playing the greatest team in
- 12:28Speaker 3: the history of organized football when we play the Falcons
- 12:31Speaker 3: the second time this season. My God. Michael Penix, I
- 12:34Speaker 3: get it. He came backbone, and they all of a
- 12:37Speaker 3: sudden look like a functioning team now. But this whole
- 12:41Speaker 3: thing where people act like Michael Penix Jr. is an
- 12:44Speaker 3: all-time great quarterback, like there's going to be a moment
- 12:47Speaker 3: where he throws three pickles in a game and they
- 12:51Speaker 3: lose and everybody's like, oh, yeah, that's right. There's going
- 12:53Speaker 3: to be a moment, Bone, where they get down early
- 12:55Speaker 3: and can't lean on the run and Penix has to
- 12:58Speaker 3: throw it 45 times where they are going to be
- 13:00Speaker 3: screwed and everybody's going to be like, oh, yeah. I
- 13:04Speaker 3: ain't buying all that Falcon type, man. I'm not buying it.
- 13:07Speaker 6: How about the guy that texted in and said, why
- 13:09Speaker 6: do we think the Falcons aren't better than the Panthers?
- 13:14Speaker 6: Or why are we not counting the Falcons as being
- 13:16Speaker 6: better than the Panthers? Because Pennix is back now. I
- 13:19Speaker 6: had to ask the question. Pennix was there last year.
- 13:21Speaker 6: What was that result? And it was 30 to nothing. Well,
- 13:23Speaker 6: how about this one? How many points we beat Atlanta
- 13:25Speaker 6: by this year?
- 13:26Speaker 3: A million. 31. 31. Is Michael Penix worth 31 points?
- 13:31Speaker 3: Absolutely not. Anyway, I know I'm getting ahead of myself.
- 13:34Speaker 3: We said we were looking at the next quarter. By
- 13:37Speaker 3: the way, that's the last game of the year. There's
- 13:39Speaker 3: no telling about Penix's health by that point in the season.
- 13:42Speaker 3: That's true, too. We have no clue. No idea what
- 13:44Speaker 3: he's going to be like. That is true, too. And
- 13:45Speaker 3: there's no telling about our health, too. Unfortunately, Bone, the
- 13:48Speaker 3: bye week being at week five is perfect for us
- 13:51Speaker 3: with all our injuries, but that means we've got to
- 13:53Speaker 3: go 12 straight weeks. And you just got to cross
- 13:56Speaker 3: your fingers when it comes to the injury gods, 12
- 13:58Speaker 3: straight weeks of football.
- 13:59Speaker 6: I don't know if this is the ghost of MFG
- 14:01Speaker 6: that's having trouble here with the counting, but there's a
- 14:04Speaker 6: texter that has us going 5-0 in the next four games.
- 14:08Speaker 3: I would love to see if we pull that.
- 14:10Speaker 5: Off, man.
- 14:11Speaker 3: That would be miraculous. I think we're about to go 5-0.
- 14:14Speaker 3: So what do you guys think? The next four games,
- 14:16Speaker 3: what are your schedule plans? your record predictions for the
- 14:20Speaker 3: next four games. Philly, Tampa Bay, Green Bay, and Denver, 704-570-9610.
- 14:24Speaker 3: All right, what are people saying here? Sean from Charlotte
- 14:30Speaker 3: says one in three. I say one in three so
- 14:33Speaker 3: we can do the opposite. What's White Knight yapping about here?
- 14:38Speaker 3: White Knight. The way Mac talks about Pennix is the
- 14:40Speaker 3: way most people think of Bryce. Not anymore, pal. White Knight,
- 14:43Speaker 3: I don't know if you've actually had your eyes open
- 14:45Speaker 3: this week, but Bryce Young is being absolutely fawned over.
- 14:49Speaker 3: And with good reason. He's had an absolute amazing start
- 14:54Speaker 3: four games into a season. So let's get a bigger
- 14:56Speaker 3: sample size of Michael. I'm telling you right now, get
- 14:59Speaker 3: that Michael Pennix garbage the hell out of here. I
- 15:01Speaker 3: wish we were playing him next week. Like, seriously. I just...
- 15:06Speaker 3: Look at Bijan Robinson's stats and look at Jameer Gibbs'
- 15:09Speaker 3: stats against the Panthers and look at them against everybody else.
- 15:14Speaker 3: I'm telling you, man. I'm telling you, man. They can
- 15:18Speaker 3: handle Bijan and not let him destroy them.
- 15:21Speaker 6: You think after beating a team as soundly as they
- 15:24Speaker 6: have and how well they play against Atlanta— not just
- 15:27Speaker 6: this year, but with Price, you think that the Falcons
- 15:31Speaker 6: wouldn't be the most concerning thing on people's minds?
- 15:33Speaker 3: I wouldn't think so, but there is some of y'all
- 15:35Speaker 3: buying the hype. Let's see here. SU fan, they can
- 15:39Speaker 3: go 4-0 over the next four games. They should go 3-1,
- 15:43Speaker 3: but probably will go 2-2. I kind of like the
- 15:47Speaker 3: way you're putting that out there. That's why I said 2-2.
- 15:52Speaker 3: At some point, though, Bone, the question is, Does this
- 15:55Speaker 3: team become more consistent? Does this team beat teams that
- 15:59Speaker 3: they are better than, that they can beat, should beat,
- 16:02Speaker 3: that sort of thing? And do they do it consistently?
- 16:05Speaker 3: If they reach that point, Bone, it's going to be
- 16:07Speaker 3: glorious in their evolution.
- 16:09Speaker 6: I like the fact that there's not a lot of
- 16:11Speaker 6: negative people. No one said, oh, they're going to go
- 16:13Speaker 6: 1-3 or 0-4. haven't really got a whole lot of
- 16:15Speaker 6: negatives on there that's that's a good.
- 16:17Speaker 3: Sign anthony says should get two wins hoping for three
- 16:20Speaker 3: wins this dude says why the hell are y'all talking
- 16:24Speaker 3: about the last game of the season when the conversation
- 16:27Speaker 3: is about the next four games because we've got some
- 16:29Speaker 3: people that are bringing up atlanta and we addressed atlanta
- 16:32Speaker 3: and it happens to be the last game of the
- 16:33Speaker 3: season pay attention pay read your script I listen. Have
- 16:36Speaker 3: I gotten off track?
- 16:37Speaker 5: Yes.
- 16:38Speaker 3: Have I gotten off track?
- 16:39Speaker 4: 100%.
- 16:39Speaker 3: What show are you listening to, sir? But I can't
- 16:42Speaker 3: help it. It's hype of the Falcons. A team like
- 16:44Speaker 3: bone said that we currently own that Bryce owns who
- 16:47Speaker 3: annoys the crap out of me. I just, I, my
- 16:50Speaker 3: impulse control bone was not good enough to resist getting
- 16:53Speaker 3: caught up in that fitting breaking news. Fan base talks
- 16:56Speaker 3: about rival. I want to bring Fitty in on this
- 16:59Speaker 3: one right now. Fitty, what is your prediction for the
- 17:02Speaker 3: next quarter of the season? When we come out of
- 17:04Speaker 3: the by the next four games.
- 17:06Speaker 1: Yeah, a 704 number wrote in saying I would say
- 17:08Speaker 1: they would go 4-0. Now, here's the thing, Mac. I
- 17:11Speaker 1: will probably pick them to win each of their next
- 17:14Speaker 1: four games.
- 17:16Speaker 3: Spoiler alert!
- 17:17Speaker 1: Cannot confirm or deny. You'll have to wait until we
- 17:19Speaker 1: panther up the next four games. I think I'm in
- 17:23Speaker 1: the category of this. They should go 3-1. Like, they
- 17:28Speaker 1: should be a 5-3 football team at the... unofficial halfway
- 17:32Speaker 1: point of the season.
- 17:33Speaker 3: That'd be real nice with the injuries, man.
- 17:35Speaker 1: I think they'll be four and four just because they
- 17:39Speaker 1: haven't earned that trust. I know what they're capable of doing.
- 17:44Speaker 1: I know what they're capable of being. But we still
- 17:48Speaker 1: have yet to take that step where I can trust
- 17:50Speaker 1: them to show up and be a consistent football team
- 17:54Speaker 1: on a weekend, week-out basis. So that's the challenge for
- 17:59Speaker 1: Canales and this group, man. They've proven that they can
- 18:02Speaker 1: do it. And they've proven they can do it with
- 18:04Speaker 1: their backs against the wall.
- 18:05Speaker 3: So are you staying 2-2 or are you going 3-1?
- 18:07Speaker 3: Because that's the battle, I think, in most Panther fans' minds.
- 18:12Speaker 1: I don't like being measured because I usually come up
- 18:15Speaker 1: the short end of the stick. So I'll lean 3-1.
- 18:18Speaker 1: But if we're 4-4, Mac, I won't be surprised. I
- 18:23Speaker 1: want the Philly game, though. Look, if you're telling me
- 18:25Speaker 1: we can only get one win, give me Philly.
- 18:28Speaker 3: I don't want to beat Sean Payton. That's the one
- 18:30Speaker 3: I would want the.
- 18:31Speaker 6: Most, man.
- 18:31Speaker 1: Even though, but Mac, if we get Sirianni, and I
- 18:34Speaker 1: think they're going to lose to Jacksonville this week in London,
- 18:37Speaker 1: there's a very good chance.
- 18:38Speaker 3: Reaper. He's getting canned. Reaper game.
- 18:41Speaker 1: Could you imagine that montage of men?
- 18:43Speaker 3: We'd have to do two of them. Got it. One
- 18:44Speaker 3: for the game, then one for his ass getting fired.
- 18:46Speaker 3: The problem is, if we get Sirianni fireboned, the Philly
- 18:49Speaker 3: fans would be happy. You know what I mean? It'd
- 18:51Speaker 3: be a montage of celebration.
- 18:53Speaker 6: Texter says even two and two, considering Mike Jack and
- 18:57Speaker 6: Horn are out in this stretch that seemed like the
- 19:01Speaker 6: toughest of the year weeks ago, would still be pretty
- 19:03Speaker 6: good for this Panther team. I think he's saying that, yeah,
- 19:06Speaker 6: they won without those guys the other day. They also
- 19:08Speaker 6: did that last year. Could they continue winning without those
- 19:11Speaker 6: guys even two and two? would be something to build
- 19:15Speaker 6: off of for the rest of the season. Hell, you
- 19:16Speaker 6: could go 2-2. You'd be 4-4. You still might be
- 19:18Speaker 6: in first place in the South.
- 19:19Speaker 3: Right. You know what I mean? Atlanta's got a tough
- 19:22Speaker 3: schedule coming up. So, yeah, you could still be sitting
- 19:24Speaker 3: there in first place. And I do think we need to,
- 19:27Speaker 3: to Dexter's point– I do think we need to, Bone,
- 19:31Speaker 3: not act like every– we gave up 410 passing yards
- 19:34Speaker 3: without those two. We do need to acknowledge that that
- 19:36Speaker 3: is still not ideal. So let's see here. We're getting
- 19:40Speaker 3: some blow– I'm getting some blowback, Bone. I know you're
- 19:42Speaker 3: shocked by this. 704 number. Mack on here acting like
- 19:46Speaker 3: Bryce Young has turned into Tom Manning or something. He's
- 19:52Speaker 3: played four good games, and I don't even think the
- 19:55Speaker 3: Browns was really any good. Here we go. It's not
- 19:57Speaker 3: been four games. So chill out. Did you not listen
- 20:00Speaker 3: the other.
- 20:00Speaker 1: Day when I had the stat where it goes back
- 20:01Speaker 1: to six games over 250 yards? passing with less than
- 20:06Speaker 1: one interception, the longest active streak in the National Freaking
- 20:10Speaker 1: Football League.
- 20:11Speaker 3: It's not just four games. We had a 10-game sample size.
- 20:15Speaker 3: We had an eight-game sample size.
- 20:17Speaker 1: Now we got a six-game sample size.
- 20:20Speaker 3: I would argue we have a 12-game sample size because
- 20:23Speaker 3: if you look at his stats over the last eight
- 20:25Speaker 3: games last year, combine them with this year's stats, which
- 20:28Speaker 3: I can do at some point during this show, Bone.
- 20:30Speaker 3: I'm sure you will. I think it's a really good
- 20:32Speaker 3: 12-game sample. But bark at him, Fit Dog. Get after him, baby.
- 20:38Speaker 3: Get after him.
- 20:40Speaker 6: When we come back, Lee Sterling of ParamountSports.com, fresh off
- 20:44Speaker 6: going 5-0 last week back on the air, gives us
- 20:47Speaker 6: his picks of the week on Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
- 21:15Speaker 3: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ. It's a football Friday. It might
- 21:19Speaker 3: be a bye week Friday for the Carolina Panthers. But
- 21:23Speaker 3: we still getting after it, baby, as we look ahead
- 21:26Speaker 3: to the post-bye week. Four-game stretch for the Panthers. But
- 21:29Speaker 3: right now, though, and we're going to do a lot
- 21:30Speaker 3: of this over the next, I would say, hour and
- 21:32Speaker 3: 20 minutes or so. It's going to be a ton.
- 21:35Speaker 3: of previewing a very interesting college football weekend. We're going
- 21:40Speaker 3: to do a lot of that right now. And there's
- 21:41Speaker 3: some NFL games that we're going to discuss with our
- 21:44Speaker 3: next guest. Lee Sterling is on fire for his clients.
- 21:48Speaker 3: It's six straight weeks of winning. for his clients so
- 21:53Speaker 3: you might want to jump on board we've got five
- 21:55Speaker 3: games that we want to discuss here on the show
- 21:58Speaker 3: with lee sterling we're going to do it right now
- 22:00Speaker 3: he's got a game of the week too that he'll
- 22:02Speaker 3: uh tell you how to get between green bay and
- 22:04Speaker 3: the bears he is lee sterling he's our handicapper paramount
- 22:09Speaker 3: sports paramount sports.com and lee is with us here on
- 22:12Speaker 3: the mac and bone show again lee how you feeling
- 22:15Speaker 3: this week seems like you're doing pretty dang good man.
- 22:18Speaker 5: Yeah we won six straight weeks uh Pretty easy to
- 22:21Speaker 5: get up and get going. So excited about the week.
- 22:25Speaker 5: How did you guys recover after that short turnaround after
- 22:28Speaker 5: a primetime game and all the dancing, the victory dance?
- 22:33Speaker 5: Ready to go? Are you going to take the week off?
- 22:37Speaker 3: That's been a grueling week. Physically grueling week.
- 22:39Speaker 6: The bye week came at the right time for us.
- 22:43Speaker 3: The injury-ravaged Panthers need a bye week, and so do we. Oh,
- 22:47Speaker 3: my God. All right, Lee, let's get into these games.
- 22:50Speaker 3: Let's start with the college games, obviously. And let's start
- 22:53Speaker 3: with the big one before we get to a couple
- 22:54Speaker 3: kind of local interest games. Alabama, Georgia. I'm fascinated to
- 22:58Speaker 3: hear what you say because I'm having a very hard
- 23:01Speaker 3: time picking this one and separating these two teams. I
- 23:03Speaker 3: think I'm just going to sit back and enjoy the show. Alabama,
- 23:07Speaker 3: it looks like right around a point and a half
- 23:10Speaker 3: at home as favorites. What do you think?
- 23:14Speaker 5: Yeah, so checking the weather, and the weather actually looks okay.
- 23:18Speaker 5: It looks like... Probably the storms and the wind are
- 23:22Speaker 5: going to probably pass through about at the latest 1
- 23:25Speaker 5: or 2 o'clock. So it looks like we're– it looks
- 23:29Speaker 5: like I'll go here for the game, and that's a
- 23:31Speaker 5: good thing. I mean, this is going to be a
- 23:33Speaker 5: fun game. Everyone likes watching the best, and it's tough
- 23:37Speaker 5: going against your top-tier quarterback. So Gunnar Stockton, I mean,
- 23:42Speaker 5: this guy's just a winner. Third and seven, he'll complete
- 23:46Speaker 5: the pass most of the time for the first down
- 23:48Speaker 5: or dive and get to the sticks for his team.
- 23:51Speaker 5: The defense, you don't want to run sideline to sideline.
- 23:54Speaker 5: Probably the quickest linebackers I've ever seen in college football.
- 23:59Speaker 5: And Alabama, I mean, what can you say with Keelan
- 24:01Speaker 5: Russell now and their opportunistic defense with eight interceptions and
- 24:05Speaker 5: they've taken a couple to the house. This might come
- 24:08Speaker 5: down to, I think, Georgia a little nicked up in
- 24:12Speaker 5: their skill positions on offense. Top two running backs might
- 24:15Speaker 5: be on a pitch count. Two of their top three
- 24:17Speaker 5: receivers could be out for this game. They're going to
- 24:20Speaker 5: have to use number 20, Dwight Phillips, a backup running back,
- 24:23Speaker 5: but a speedy kid. He's their X factor. Runs a 4-2, 4-3, 40.
- 24:28Speaker 5: Get him out in space. Use him in the slot.
- 24:31Speaker 5: If they can get him free, they've got a chance here. Otherwise,
- 24:34Speaker 5: I think it's going to be a tough, tough go
- 24:36Speaker 5: against this Alabama team at home. I think these teams
- 24:39Speaker 5: probably meet again, but I think we're going to see
- 24:41Speaker 5: another instant classic here. I like Bama 30-27.
- 24:44Speaker 6: We're talking to the red hot, the scorching, the scintillating
- 24:49Speaker 6: Lee Sterling of ParamountSports.com here on the Mac and Bone Show. Pittsburgh,
- 24:54Speaker 6: UNC tomorrow. Pittsburgh new starting quarterback, four-point favorites over the heels.
- 25:00Speaker 6: What's the right side here, Lee?
- 25:02Speaker 5: Yeah, North Carolina continues to battle, and they continue to lose.
- 25:07Speaker 5: The defense remains solid up front. Perhaps, you know, the
- 25:11Speaker 5: offense took a step forward last week. Pitt lost their
- 25:15Speaker 5: starting quarterback, Mason Henschel, for the season. Holden Grenier is
- 25:19Speaker 5: going to take over here under center. Pretty much, I
- 25:21Speaker 5: think they're going to play a conservative. Know the kid.
- 25:23Speaker 5: He played at Texas State. My alma mater. Didn't see
- 25:27Speaker 5: a whole lot of playing time there. I'm just not
- 25:30Speaker 5: in love with Pitt's body of work. The question was,
- 25:34Speaker 5: did they actually win last week? That field goal sure
- 25:37Speaker 5: looked good for me, but now I'm seeing some different
- 25:40Speaker 5: where it wasn't good. So crazy ending to that game.
- 25:45Speaker 5: But they've beaten UCF, Virginia Tech, and Syracuse by a
- 25:49Speaker 5: combined 21 points here. I think UNC might be overdue here.
- 25:53Speaker 5: Roy came favored. Tar Heels, pull the upset 24-23.
- 25:58Speaker 3: All right, there you go. All right, Heels fans enjoying
- 26:01Speaker 3: that one. Lee, Lee, Lee, Lee, Lee, Lee. There you go, Finney.
- 26:05Speaker 3: There you go, Finney. Finney likes it. I can't legally
- 26:08Speaker 3: do that for the Heels.
- 26:09Speaker 5: That is true.
- 26:10Speaker 3: You can't wear a Duke hat and cheer like that.
- 26:12Speaker 3: That would not fit. Let's see which fan base likes
- 26:15Speaker 3: Lee's next pick because it is an in-state rivalry battle.
- 26:22Speaker 3: Wake Forest at NC State in Raleigh and Wake on
- 26:27Speaker 3: the road. They are hot. They put up 57 on Stanford.
- 26:30Speaker 3: They are three and a half point favorites against State.
- 26:32Speaker 3: So what would you do point spread wise on this one?
- 26:36Speaker 5: OK, so I think there's going to be a lot
- 26:37Speaker 5: of back and forth here in this game. A late
- 26:40Speaker 5: possession could win or lose the game. NC State has
- 26:43Speaker 5: allowed at least 28 points to all Division one opponents,
- 26:46Speaker 5: while Wake's defense is really only flourished against Akron and Stanford,
- 26:52Speaker 5: two bottom feeders, both at home. Wake's two road games,
- 26:56Speaker 5: while victorious, have come by just three and two points
- 26:59Speaker 5: and at least 324 yards passing. CJ Bailey, I mean,
- 27:03Speaker 5: the way he was able to pick himself up after
- 27:06Speaker 5: a Vandy loss and beat App State and upset Louisville,
- 27:09Speaker 5: got to give the kid credit. I think he's going
- 27:12Speaker 5: to throw the pack into a three-game winning streak here.
- 27:15Speaker 5: Another one-team favorite, Wolfpack.
- 27:19Speaker 2: 34-31.
- 27:19Speaker 3: There you go. Okay, so we've been asking.
- 27:22Speaker 5: You got a lead champ for him?
- 27:23Speaker 3: We'll talk about it. Lee, Lee, Lee, Lee, Lee, Lee. Again,
- 27:28Speaker 3: I'm not allowed to do that legally. You have to abstain.
- 27:30Speaker 5: You think it's bad? You think it's bad? When I
- 27:32Speaker 5: was in Salt Lake City two weeks ago for my
- 27:34Speaker 5: niece's wedding. So they're a Duke family. Both her and
- 27:39Speaker 5: her brother and her dad went to Duke. She married
- 27:42Speaker 5: a Tar Heel. I mean, it was crazy. They had
- 27:46Speaker 5: the wedding dance floor. Half painted Duke, the other half
- 27:50Speaker 5: North Carolina. One of the craziest scenes. trust me no
- 27:54Speaker 5: one crossed.
- 27:54Speaker 6: Over we got yeah i was gonna ask were they
- 27:57Speaker 6: on separate lines and no one made.
- 27:58Speaker 3: A move we got a lot of those like how
- 28:01Speaker 3: what's the license plate bone the house divided license plates
- 28:04Speaker 3: and i don't know how those relationships work i don't
- 28:06Speaker 3: know how do y'all if anybody out there is listening
- 28:09Speaker 3: in the divided houses how y'all pull it off.
- 28:11Speaker 6: Um sunday night football falcons ravens falcons at home favored
- 28:16Speaker 6: by three where are you going on this.
- 28:19Speaker 5: One Well, you're hoping for a little backup quarterback action there.
- 28:23Speaker 5: And here's the problem, though. I think Atlanta might be
- 28:27Speaker 5: the hottest team right now in the NFL. Kevin Stefanski,
- 28:30Speaker 5: remember him, comes over and he brings Bill Callahan. I
- 28:35Speaker 5: think that was his greatest move here. They're running that
- 28:37Speaker 5: outside zone scheme to perfection. If you watch Monday night
- 28:42Speaker 5: and got a quarterback now, red hot, 70 percent passer
- 28:46Speaker 5: on the season and He knows Baltimore well. He's just
- 28:50Speaker 5: never had the quarterback and the type of talent to
- 28:53Speaker 5: be able to battle him here. So I think Baltimore,
- 28:55Speaker 5: the backup quarterback, is going to be tough for him here.
- 28:58Speaker 5: I think Atlanta, the hottest team, could come down to
- 29:00Speaker 5: that last game of the year. Trust me, I check schedules,
- 29:03Speaker 5: as do you guys. I like Atlanta here, 27-13.
- 29:06Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, that is a definite stroke of good luck
- 29:12Speaker 3: for the Falcons. We'll see if they can take advantage
- 29:14Speaker 3: of it. Viking Saints, another one, Lee, where we will
- 29:18Speaker 3: root against the NFC South team. Vikings, man, that Flores
- 29:23Speaker 3: defense gets after you, and they are playing great defensively.
- 29:27Speaker 3: They're a one-and-a-half point favorite against the Saints. What do
- 29:29Speaker 3: you think?
- 29:31Speaker 5: I mean, consistently. I mean, over 80% of the time blitzing.
- 29:34Speaker 5: As a quarterback, I would hate to face that. And
- 29:37Speaker 5: Kyler Murray, I mean, playing poorly, to say the least.
- 29:42Speaker 5: Not one of the better quarterbacks at deciphering defenses here.
- 29:46Speaker 5: And who knows if he even has to start wide
- 29:49Speaker 5: receiver back. Jefferson, they mustered only five field goals today.
- 29:53Speaker 5: against Miami here. I think the Saints rebound here. I
- 29:56Speaker 5: think the defense seeks some redemption here for that game
- 30:00Speaker 5: after allowing 7.5 yards per play here. I think the
- 30:04Speaker 5: offense might be able to move it enough here, get
- 30:08Speaker 5: their backs into some of the patterns, and that's how
- 30:10Speaker 5: you can beat Minnesota here. It's not going to be pretty,
- 30:13Speaker 5: but another Roy team favorite, New Orleans 23-20. They helped
- 30:18Speaker 5: you guys in college today. I don't know if I'm
- 30:20Speaker 5: going to be able to help you, do any work
- 30:22Speaker 5: for you here in the NFL.
- 30:24Speaker 6: Lee, before we get to your game of the week
- 30:26Speaker 6: here and how people can get all your picks, how
- 30:29Speaker 6: often do you play player props? Are you doing a
- 30:32Speaker 6: lot of player props betting? How do you handle that?
- 30:35Speaker 6: I had a bad beat last week, Lee.
- 30:39Speaker 3: I had a parlay going, and I needed Michael Penix
- 30:41Speaker 3: against New Orleans to get to 225 passing yards. Yeah.
- 30:46Speaker 3: And I had everything else.
- 30:47Speaker 6: He got the 224. And they just ran the ball
- 30:51Speaker 6: the rest of the way, and it was over. I'm
- 30:54Speaker 6: sure bad beats happen. That's pretty rough.
- 30:57Speaker 5: Oh, that is rough. We're not talking about, like, you know,
- 31:00Speaker 5: rushing yards from a quarterback 10 to 11. That's a
- 31:04Speaker 5: real rough beat. And probably, you know, if they were
- 31:08Speaker 5: playing from behind or even closer, you would have gotten
- 31:10Speaker 5: over that total. You know, we play a lot of
- 31:11Speaker 5: player props here. We added that three years ago. Let
- 31:14Speaker 5: me give you one I love this week. Jordan Love,
- 31:17Speaker 5: over 234.5 passing yards versus Chicago. They can't run. They
- 31:23Speaker 5: ran for between 17 and 86 yards in the four
- 31:26Speaker 5: games here. I think that Chicago's back end can be had.
- 31:31Speaker 5: They've had some injuries there and I like the matchup.
- 31:34Speaker 5: I like both Green Bay's top two receivers. So I'm
- 31:36Speaker 5: going over 234. We can add a player prop every
- 31:40Speaker 5: once in a while.
- 31:40Speaker 3: I like it. I love that.
- 31:41Speaker 5: I love people out.
- 31:42Speaker 3: There, too. I like it. All right, so let us—
- 31:44Speaker 3: Did you see, Mike? I came to leave for help,
- 31:45Speaker 3: and I got us all help. You got it. Yeah,
- 31:47Speaker 3: now Bone's already clicking the bet in. All right, so
- 31:50Speaker 3: you've got that game you're talking about, Green Bay and
- 31:53Speaker 3: the Bears, is your game of the week. And I

- 32:56Speaker 3: There you go. Lee got two chance this week. Usually
- 32:59Speaker 3: it's just if he picks the Panthers. He's got to
- 33:01Speaker 3: get two chance this week.
- 33:02Speaker 6: Mac, in case you're curious, people have been wondering, is...
- 33:05Speaker 6: Any heat between Lee Sterling and listener Picante? Bagel guy
- 33:09Speaker 6: wants a Lee Picante pickoff. Picante, who's all class, texted in,
- 33:14Speaker 6: he's rooting for Lee Sterling. There's no heat there.
- 33:15Speaker 3: Oh, that's nice. That's nice. That's nice of Picante because
- 33:18Speaker 3: it could get nasty, you know? Some of the texts
- 33:21Speaker 3: coming in about some of our conversations there with Lee
- 33:24Speaker 3: about that rivalry house divided. Justin, the Duke fan, says,
- 33:28Speaker 3: My wife is a UNC fan. We've been married over
- 33:30Speaker 3: 15 years. At first, the games were incredibly hard. We
- 33:34Speaker 3: would always get into fights. and get drunk and be angry.
- 33:37Speaker 3: Now we've learned to watch them separately and not talk
- 33:40Speaker 3: until at least an hour after the game when it
- 33:43Speaker 3: ends there. So we've got that text. He did say
- 33:49Speaker 3: his sons ended up being Duke fans, so he won
- 33:53Speaker 3: that battle for the kids' rights there.
- 33:55Speaker 6: Texter says if you're getting married in Salt Lake City,
- 33:57Speaker 6: you can marry both a Duke and a Carolina fan.
- 34:02Speaker 3: And a state fan and a wing fan gator rube
- 34:05Speaker 3: says oh over under 1.5 brides at the utah wedding
- 34:10Speaker 3: oh my goodness holy crap here's another one uh let's
- 34:15Speaker 3: see i hate uh i hate that my wife's a
- 34:17Speaker 3: cowboys fan and she hates uh me being a steelers
- 34:20Speaker 3: fan she's also a unc fan and i'm a state
- 34:23Speaker 3: fan Oh, my God. We got married because she got pregnant,
- 34:29Speaker 3: but she's a great lady.
- 34:30Speaker 5: What?
- 34:31Speaker 3: I'm sorry. Sir, you need Dr. Phil immediately. You need Dr.
- 34:38Speaker 3: Phil to try to help you with that marriage.
- 34:40Speaker 6: This is a good ask the audience question, courtesy of
- 34:42Speaker 6: QC Mechanical, your local HVAC experts. Tell us your house
- 34:47Speaker 6: divided stories like Turd Ferguson. She's Georgia and Turd is Florida.
- 34:53Speaker 6: So let us know your house-divided situations and how do you.
- 34:57Speaker 3: Handle those thanks to QC Mechanical. You see what he
- 35:00Speaker 3: says he does? He says he makes up fake stories
- 35:03Speaker 3: about fake Georgia players, and she has no idea it's
- 35:05Speaker 3: not true. She roots for the team, doesn't really pay attention.
- 35:09Speaker 3: So poor Mrs. Turd is just getting trolled and messed
- 35:12Speaker 3: with constantly. Oh, my God. Well, I think her name
- 35:15Speaker 3: is Mrs. Ferguson, man. I think Turd's his name. I can't.
- 35:19Speaker 3: You don't think I should go.
- 35:20Speaker 5: With that, Derek?
- 35:21Speaker 3: I think Ferguson is how they like to be called.
- 35:24Speaker 3: What woman would not be proud to be called Mrs.
- 35:28Speaker 5: Turn?
- 35:29Speaker 3: All of them?
- 35:30Speaker 5: Okay.
- 35:30Speaker 6: That can't be his born government name, is it? All right,
- 35:33Speaker 6: we come back here on the Mac and Bone Show.
- 35:35Speaker 6: It's a random crap special Friday edition. We're going to
- 35:40Speaker 6: talk about the NFL Celebration Police backing off. You're not
- 35:44Speaker 6: going to believe what's on Nick Saban's playlist. And Mac
- 35:48Speaker 6: gets his be kind to old lady's redemption.
- 35:51Speaker 3: Damn straight. What happened here? Damn straight. Sports Radio 92.7.
- 35:59Speaker 4: Random crap. Random crap. Mac and Bone talk. Random crap.
- 36:04Speaker 4: Random crap. Random crap. Mac and Bone talk. Random crap. Random.
- 36:09Speaker 4: Random crap. Random crap. Random crap.
- 36:16Speaker 3: What the deuce? Oh, crap.
- 36:18Speaker 6: Oh, crap.
- 36:18Speaker 3: We stink like a baby's blowout infested diaper. They talk
- 36:23Speaker 3: about crap that is random. It's the Queen City's favorite
- 36:26Speaker 3: born in tandem. Mack and Bone. Random crap. Mack and Bone.
- 36:43Speaker 3: They say, oh, my God, I see the way you shine.
- 36:47Speaker 3: Take your hand, my dear, and place them both in mine.
- 36:52Speaker 3: All right, we begin Random Trap Pony with the weirdest
- 36:56Speaker 3: song on Nick Saban's 60-song playlist, one of the Alabama,
- 37:01Speaker 3: I think, AL.com. They released the 60 songs on Nick
- 37:08Speaker 3: Saban's playlist. Most of it is as you would expect,
- 37:12Speaker 3: a lot of classic rock, a little bit of country.
- 37:14Speaker 3: He put Even Flow by Pearl Jam on there. I
- 37:17Speaker 3: respect it. I like it. But he put this song,
- 37:21Speaker 3: Dance Monkey, a 2019 pop hit. Can you imagine Nick
- 37:25Speaker 3: Saban jamming to this? Listen to the chorus. It's a
- 37:36Speaker 3: good song, all right? Quit asking. That song is rat
- 37:44Speaker 3: poison for the ears. Anyway, we can stop jamming out
- 37:47Speaker 3: to this one. When I hear that song, I think
- 37:49Speaker 3: of Nick Saban. How is that on Nick Saban's playlist?
- 37:52Speaker 3: Did Miss Terry have one of the kids put it
- 37:54Speaker 3: on there as like a prank or something? How did
- 37:57Speaker 3: that thing get on the 60-song Saban playlist?
- 37:59Speaker 6: I haven't been this stunned since Coach K's playlist got leaked.
- 38:02Speaker 6: What's on there? Basically, all Beyonce. Remember, he's a big
- 38:06Speaker 6: Beyonce guy.
- 38:07Speaker 3: Oh, he's got a crush. He does. Anyway, I cannot
- 38:11Speaker 3: get over that. It's on the Saban playlist.
- 38:13Speaker 5: Beautiful.
- 38:13Speaker 3: By the way, the Saban documentary started yesterday. I watched
- 38:16Speaker 3: a little bit of it, not the full thing. Do
- 38:18Speaker 3: you know how many episodes? This is a ton.
- 38:20Speaker 4: Six.
- 38:21Speaker 3: Six episodes. Saban Doc. And there's Bryce. There's going to
- 38:24Speaker 3: be Bryce in there.
- 38:25Speaker 6: I saw the social media clip where there's never before
- 38:29Speaker 6: seen footage of when he benched Jalen Hurts for Tua.
- 38:33Speaker 3: In a championship game. Okay. So that's going to be
- 38:35Speaker 3: very interesting. Yesterday had him telling the media, there is
- 38:40Speaker 3: no way I will be the Alabama head coach. And
- 38:42Speaker 3: then they go to him and he says, I knew
- 38:45Speaker 3: right then and there when I said that, that there
- 38:47Speaker 3: was going to be hell to pay if I went
- 38:48Speaker 3: to Alabama and there was hell to pay. All right,
- 38:53Speaker 3: let's get to more random crap here, Bone Man. Let's
- 38:57Speaker 3: talk about the NFL, Bone. It took the NFL a week,
- 39:00Speaker 3: but they finally came to their senses, and they have
- 39:03Speaker 3: now told everybody that if you score a touchdown and
- 39:07Speaker 3: act like you're drinking a beverage, they will not fine
- 39:10Speaker 3: you for it. Remember the whole Kyle Juszczyk thing? Jake Ferguson.
- 39:15Speaker 3: They thought these guys are acting like they're drinking beers,
- 39:18Speaker 3: and that's an offensive act. Well, what does that make
- 39:21Speaker 3: your 70 gazillion beer commercials? with your official beer Bud Light.
- 39:25Speaker 3: What a hypocritical bunch of fools. But now, Boney, drinking celebration.
- 39:31Speaker 3: are now legal. All right.
- 39:32Speaker 6: Can't wait for Bryce to pop his little apple juice
- 39:36Speaker 6: there in the end zone.
- 39:38Speaker 3: He's got a little juice box? Come on, that's cold, baby.
- 39:41Speaker 3: Bryce isn't going to be drinking, like, have oil like that.
- 39:43Speaker 3: He's going to have something basic. That is so dang cold, man.
- 39:47Speaker 6: Phinney and I would celebrate drinking our, oh, no, that was,
- 39:49Speaker 6: I'm sorry, that was drop with you. That wasn't Phinney,
- 39:51Speaker 6: was it? Strawberry daiquiris. That was not Phinney. That was
- 39:54Speaker 6: drop with you.
- 39:54Speaker 5: I'm sorry.
- 39:55Speaker 3: Phinney, we never asked the question we were talking about.
- 39:57Speaker 3: Bone is, what are you? Daiquiri man. Shrop, daiquiri man,
- 40:01Speaker 3: are you a strawberry daiquiri or pina colada man, Fetty?
- 40:04Speaker 1: Never had either one.
- 40:05Speaker 3: There you go. There you go. I'm with you on that.
- 40:08Speaker 1: More of an old-fashioned guy when I go out on
- 40:11Speaker 1: the town drinking.
- 40:12Speaker 3: Look at you. Look at you, man. I didn't know
- 40:15Speaker 3: you had it in you.
- 40:15Speaker 6: This is the most shocking thing since Nick Saban's playlist.
- 40:17Speaker 6: You're an old-fashioned man, Fetty?
- 40:19Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 40:21Speaker 3: All right. I've had one in my life. Oh, God.
- 40:25Speaker 3: Is that all it took to become an old fashioned man?
- 40:27Speaker 5: Yes.
- 40:27Speaker 6: He just straight up lies and we move on.
- 40:29Speaker 4: It's true.
- 40:30Speaker 3: It's true. Slightly exaggerated. So, Bone, I feel like I
- 40:34Speaker 3: got my be kind to old lady redemption yesterday. Yesterday,
- 40:39Speaker 3: there was severe backlash from many of you. Not all.
- 40:42Speaker 3: It was pretty split. But I had a problem with
- 40:44Speaker 3: a woman that stopped her car in the middle of
- 40:46Speaker 3: the street, just literally in the middle of the road. Um, uh, uh,
- 40:50Speaker 3: feel like it's not dangerous and uncalled for it's over kindness,
- 40:53Speaker 3: but she allowed a woman in her older woman, her
- 40:56Speaker 3: dog to cross the street. So I got bashed back.
- 40:59Speaker 3: It's an old woman. My God, just, just have some
- 41:01Speaker 3: patience yesterday. Bone opportunity struck me and me and an
- 41:06Speaker 3: older woman at the Harris Teeter parking lot, filling up
- 41:09Speaker 3: our cars, emptying our carts and I get ready to
- 41:12Speaker 3: take my cart back, realize her cart is now empty,
- 41:14Speaker 3: and she's starting to push it back. I say, hey, ma'am,
- 41:17Speaker 3: would you like me to take that over for you?
- 41:20Speaker 3: I have restored. I'm back even. I'm back even, Bone,
- 41:24Speaker 3: on the be kind to old lady ledger.
- 41:27Speaker 6: Then I heard when you were crossing, someone got mad
- 41:29Speaker 6: you were taking too long to cross the street is
- 41:31Speaker 6: what I heard, to cross over back to where the
- 41:33Speaker 6: carts go.
- 41:35Speaker 3: I've got no problem waiting for somebody that's... If you're
- 41:38Speaker 3: in a parking lot, you can stop and let people
- 41:40Speaker 3: go by. Why am I sounding like a jerk again? Anyway, just...
- 41:44Speaker 3: I got redemption, Bo. You did? I got redemption. It's
- 41:47Speaker 3: a heartwarming story. There's actually going to be a Lifetime
- 41:49Speaker 3: movie about it.
- 41:50Speaker 6: There was rumors that you were going to try to
- 41:52Speaker 6: run over the lady if she got in your way.
- 41:55Speaker 3: Oh, my God. All right. So let's go to you
- 41:58Speaker 3: have the NFL stupidity that we talked about with trying
- 42:01Speaker 3: to make trying to say mimicking drinking celebrations is offensive.
- 42:07Speaker 3: And they finally have backed down on that. How dumb
- 42:10Speaker 3: is this? This is Jordan Battle, safety for the Cincinnati Bengals,
- 42:15Speaker 3: who told the media this week that when they're preparing
- 42:19Speaker 3: for this week's game against the Dolphins, he has spotted
- 42:22Speaker 3: a tell from quarterback Malik Wills. He is telling the
- 42:25Speaker 3: media this. There are articles now written all about this,
- 42:28Speaker 3: where he taps the ball, and that means the pass
- 42:31Speaker 3: is coming out. So the talk is that the Bengals
- 42:36Speaker 3: now know, Bone, to jump the route when they see
- 42:39Speaker 3: him tap the football. What do you think about this
- 42:42Speaker 3: move to go public with that intel, Boney? I'm not
- 42:45Speaker 3: saying it's the dumbest thing I've ever seen, but it's
- 42:47Speaker 3: right up there.
- 42:48Speaker 6: Why would you? They didn't play already. They are going
- 42:52Speaker 6: to play them this week. And he says, on film,
- 42:55Speaker 6: we see this. Why would you tell the opponent? So
- 42:58Speaker 6: he's got time, Mac, to go ahead and fix and
- 43:01Speaker 6: address the issue there days in advance. Really? Not everything
- 43:06Speaker 6: has to be made public there, Jordan Battle. Why in
- 43:08Speaker 6: the world would you do that?
- 43:09Speaker 3: The D.C. has got to be like, are you kidding
- 43:11Speaker 3: me right now?
- 43:12Speaker 6: We spent time on film. We worked on this. We
- 43:15Speaker 6: showed the guys what the issue is. And he goes
- 43:17Speaker 6: and tells the quarterback, excuse me, sir, we noticed that
- 43:21Speaker 6: you're having an issue tapping the football.
- 43:23Speaker 3: Oh, my Lord. Oh, my Lord. This is all-time moronic
- 43:26Speaker 3: pregame commentary stuff. So now what is Miami going to do?
- 43:30Speaker 3: He's going to tap the ball. They're going to run
- 43:32Speaker 3: double moves, and the Cincinnati DBs bite, unless Jordan Battle's
- 43:37Speaker 3: playing chess. And he now has done this to get
- 43:39Speaker 3: them now to run double moves, and they're going to
- 43:41Speaker 3: be sitting on those. Somehow I think he's not playing chess, though, Bone.
- 43:44Speaker 3: I'm going to guess Jordan Battle's getting beat at some point.
- 43:48Speaker 3: This week.
- 43:49Speaker 4: This weekend.
- 43:50Speaker 3: I cannot believe what people will say in the media
- 43:52Speaker 3: that they shouldn't say. Did you see the new Fernando
- 43:56Speaker 3: Mendoza State Farm ad, Bone, about him being a change
- 43:59Speaker 3: man in Vegas? I've not seen this.
- 44:01Speaker 4: One, no.
- 44:01Speaker 3: This is so good. I saw it during the game
- 44:03Speaker 3: last night. It's got all these rebellious things. I'm doing
- 44:07Speaker 3: air quotes. Rebellious things that the goody-goody Mendoza's doing now
- 44:11Speaker 3: that he's in Vegas. He's sitting down at a poker
- 44:16Speaker 3: table in the casino, and he says, go fish to somebody.
- 44:19Speaker 3: And they're like, go fish! And then they've got him saying,
- 44:25Speaker 3: I've already brushed my teeth, but I'm going to eat
- 44:26Speaker 3: this chocolate chip cookie. And then he says, I haven't
- 44:29Speaker 3: called my mom all day. And then he tells Jake
- 44:32Speaker 3: from State Farm, Actually, I got to call her now.
- 44:34Speaker 3: I better call her now. It's really well. It's good.
- 44:37Speaker 3: It's like you could tell he's got a self-deprecating sense
- 44:39Speaker 3: of humor about the fact that he is like a
- 44:43Speaker 3: choir boy bone. That is the Vegas QB.
- 44:45Speaker 6: State Farm's advertising budget is off for as many guys
- 44:49Speaker 6: as they pay for their ads. They have a ridiculous
- 44:53Speaker 6: amount of money they spend on these guys. Them and Subway, right?
- 44:56Speaker 6: Because Subway's got like 10 endorsers. State Farm's got like
- 45:00Speaker 6: 10 right now.
- 45:00Speaker 3: They do, man. Caitlin Clark. You had Chris and Cliff
- 45:03Speaker 3: Paul over the years. Patrick Mahomes. Yeah, Mahomes.
- 45:06Speaker 6: Andy Reid's in there. Kelsey's been in there. Matt, did
- 45:09Speaker 6: you see the debut of the new Bojangles in Las Vegas?
- 45:13Speaker 6: Did you see the images and the videos of the
- 45:15Speaker 6: new Bojangles? That was a souped-up Bojangles. That was like
- 45:18Speaker 6: Bojangles at a nightclub Bojangles.
- 45:22Speaker 3: That was nothing like we've ever seen Bojangles be before.
- 45:25Speaker 3: I don't know how I feel about that. To me, Bojangles,
- 45:27Speaker 3: all I need is a drive-thru, baby. Drive-thru chicken and biscuits.
- 45:31Speaker 3: That was something. It looked like Bojangles has a residency,
- 45:35Speaker 3: and they're opening for Celine Dion. Ha, ha, ha. have
- 45:39Speaker 3: you seen the the uh your guy joe bruno's been
- 45:42Speaker 3: all over this wegmans our first thought our first ever
- 45:45Speaker 3: wegmans is supposed to be like a grocery store on
- 45:47Speaker 3: steroids and uh he had video and photos of it
- 45:52Speaker 3: it opens next wednesday in the ballantyne area i'm a
- 45:55Speaker 3: bit intrigued by this bone i'm a little bit intrigued
- 45:58Speaker 3: it's a little far for me but the images where
- 46:00Speaker 3: there's a whole like Yeah, it's crazy. I can zoom
- 46:03Speaker 3: right past Ballantyne fit 485. I can zoom right past
- 46:07Speaker 3: it on my way to God's country. Why are the
- 46:08Speaker 3: old ladies on the side of the road waiting to cross?
- 46:09Speaker 3: Mac's going to go right by them. Now I'm getting
- 46:11Speaker 3: bashed for, Mac, if you have to notify the press
- 46:16Speaker 3: when you do a good deed for an old lady,
- 46:18Speaker 3: you are truly a jerk. Notify the press. I just
- 46:22Speaker 3: wanted to know that I am the type of person
- 46:24Speaker 3: that will do good things for old ladies, all right?
- 46:26Speaker 3: I just, oh, my God. I'm just going to stop talking.
- 46:31Speaker 1: Let's circle back to the Wegmans. So let's get this straight.
- 46:34Speaker 1: Wegmans is not too far out of the way for
- 46:36Speaker 1: you to go on your way home. But you disclosed
- 46:39Speaker 1: that going to me and Flound's favorite pizza joint, Mia Familia,
- 46:43Speaker 1: which is six miles away from your house.
- 46:45Speaker 3: That's once I get home. Once I get home, I'm
- 46:47Speaker 3: not very keen to drive too far for the food.
- 46:49Speaker 1: If you want to go home down 485, get off
- 46:51Speaker 1: on exit 49 on Idlewild.
- 46:54Speaker 3: You can just go that way.
- 46:55Speaker 1: Take the long way. Take the scenic route back to
- 46:57Speaker 1: where you live.
- 46:58Speaker 3: I told my wife about Mia Familia. We may give
- 47:00Speaker 3: it a shot. Let me know when you're going.
- 47:02Speaker 5: I'll show up.
- 47:02Speaker 3: But we are.
- 47:04Speaker 3: We just canceled plans. I don't know about you, Bone.
- 47:09Speaker 3: Bone's lazier than me. Bone's DoorDash Central. He is a dog.
- 47:13Speaker 3: How am I involved in this current discussion right now?
- 47:15Speaker 3: I am very... Like, I have a radius in the
- 47:19Speaker 3: Sun Valley area. If we go to get food, I
- 47:22Speaker 3: don't really want to go outside of it if I'm
- 47:23Speaker 3: sitting on the couch. I don't really want... That race
- 47:26Speaker 3: is your driveway.
- 47:27Speaker 5: So.
- 47:28Speaker 3: There's a conspiracy... But I don't do DoorDash like Bone.
- 47:31Speaker 3: I don't want to pay all the fees. There's... Well,
- 47:33Speaker 3: I also get refunded most of the time on it
- 47:35Speaker 3: right now still. But there's a conspiracy theory on the
- 47:38Speaker 3: text line. Much like when Diana Rossini-Mack ended up outside
- 47:41Speaker 3: that car accident to save her reputation back in the summertime.
- 47:45Speaker 3: But it was staged?
- 47:46Speaker 6: People think that you may have staged the old lady
- 47:48Speaker 6: to try to get this story out there.
- 47:50Speaker 3: This is not staged at all. But the video of
- 47:52Speaker 3: me doing said good deed will drop later today on social.
- 47:55Speaker 3: You think it was your own mother.
- 47:57Speaker 6: You had her come into town and you said, I
- 47:59Speaker 6: need you to give me your grocery cart.
- 48:00Speaker 3: And she's also calling to talk about what a great
- 48:02Speaker 3: young man I am later today on the show. But
- 48:05Speaker 3: it's not staged at all. No, clearly not. When we
- 48:09Speaker 3: come back, college football confidence.
- 48:12Speaker 6: Who's feeling frisky on a Friday and wants to talk
- 48:15Speaker 6: that ish? We've got local teams at big games. And
- 48:18Speaker 6: how do you separate Georgia and.
- 48:21Speaker 3: And Bama. Did I sound cool reading that? Probably not.
