Speaker 2: And we can hopefully... burned the tapes of that uh
0:45
Speaker 2: tampa performance uh we've got to talk about the double
0:48
Speaker 2: boo weekend we have not really talked and we talked
0:51
Speaker 2: about it a little bit here and there talked a
0:53
Speaker 2: little bit with ashley strohlein yesterday who is not a
0:55
Speaker 2: fan of booing but understood why the fans were booing
0:59
Speaker 2: we must discuss the double boos the hornets boos and
1:04
Speaker 2: the panthers boos From this weekend.
1:06
Speaker 3: And then Boo Corrigan.
1:07
Speaker 2: Uh-oh. Hit the bell! Hit the bell! Hit the bell!
1:11
Speaker 2: Tampa Tammy is here. Oh, my goodness. No! This is
1:20
Speaker 2: the most obnoxious he has ever been outside this window.
1:23
Speaker 2: I need to get this on video. Let everybody know
1:25
Speaker 2: what we deal with here.
1:27
Speaker 3: The sign there says you got buckied on the window there.
1:30
Speaker 2: She put up a sign before we even got in.
1:32
Speaker 2: Now she's doing some sort of L dance and laughing
1:35
Speaker 2: at us right now. Usually back you L back, but
1:37
Speaker 2: you got nothing here? There's nothing I can say. I
1:39
Speaker 2: got to give the Bucs credit. They absolutely ran all
1:42
Speaker 2: over us and embarrassed us. It's pathetic, Tammy. Pathetic. How
1:46
Speaker 2: long was she dead for? Although y'all suck too, Tammy.
1:48
Speaker 2: I want you to know that y'all are two and five.
1:51
Speaker 2: Sell yourself down over there. If she was a Panda fan,
1:53
Speaker 2: she'd be in the victory dances with us. That is true.
1:55
Speaker 3: I wonder how long she can dance for.
1:57
Speaker 2: That is true, man. Oh, my goodness.
2:00
Speaker 3: Zoki sent a text and said, Tammy's in the hallway.
2:03
Speaker 3: She's playing songs on her phone that we can't hear
2:05
Speaker 3: right now. She's interrupting WBT right now. I know she's
2:09
Speaker 3: already been down. I was going to tell her to
2:10
Speaker 3: go down there, too. I don't want to be the
2:11
Speaker 3: only ones to deal with this. And run onto the
2:14
Speaker 3: TV set, too, and do the same thing. Although that
2:17
Speaker 3: might be the end of Tampa Tammy in this building.
2:19
Speaker 2: Thank you. If that happens. All right. Congratulations, Tammy. We
2:22
Speaker 2: will see you again this season, girl. We will see
2:24
Speaker 2: you later in the season. Good luck to your college team. Clemson. Oh, man.
2:30
Speaker 2: We had a Michigan fan text in and say, Michigan
2:32
Speaker 2: and Clemson, the only schools not to have passing touchdowns
2:36
Speaker 2: this month.
2:36
Speaker 3: Are they destined for the Mayo Bowl this year? Little Clemson.
2:41
Speaker 3: I said it during the break, though.
2:42
Speaker 2: I would be amused by Dabo getting Mayo dumped on him.
2:45
Speaker 3: I think he would take it well. Oh, he would
2:47
Speaker 3: love it. It's a gosh darn distinct. Well, me little
2:50
Speaker 3: Duke's Mayo got a little twang to it. Little old Mayo.
2:54
Speaker 2: All right. Anyway, let's lock in here. Let's lock in.
2:56
Speaker 3: She's still going. She ain't going to leave. She'll be here.
2:59
Speaker 3: Just stand there until 10 o'clock. Do you want to
3:01
Speaker 3: step up and be security now?
3:03
Speaker 2: You're the security man. I'm good.
3:06
Speaker 3: We need a ball cop.
3:08
Speaker 2: Everybody's scared of her.
3:09
Speaker 3: That's the problem. Everybody's hiding from her.
3:11
Speaker 2: All right. Let's talk about this, this, um, double boo
3:15
Speaker 2: weekend that we had, which ironically was the weekend before.
3:19
Speaker 3: Halloween, before the booze are supposed.
3:21
Speaker 2: To come, um, Uh, this texter says, I get why
3:25
Speaker 2: the fans are booing, but it makes us look like Philly. See,
3:28
Speaker 2: this is part of the conversation is like when, when
3:31
Speaker 2: I got here, bone, I don't think that would happen.
3:34
Speaker 2: You know what I mean? It felt when I got
3:37
Speaker 2: here about it, it was a much, you know, I
3:41
Speaker 2: just appreciate having the teams. Still a young, evolving sports city. Yeah,
3:46
Speaker 2: but I'm not saying it's a bad thing. I think,
3:48
Speaker 2: I said it earlier in the week, I think it
3:51
Speaker 2: is proof that this sports town has evolved and that
3:54
Speaker 2: they're going to speak up when they're not happy about something.
3:57
Speaker 3: I mean, the money you spend.
4:00
Speaker 2: the, and I guess I understand, but like the Panthers booze,
4:03
Speaker 2: they deserve to be booed. I mean, I I've got
4:05
Speaker 2: to be honest with you. That was embarrassing. And this
4:07
Speaker 2: team is too good to keep having these games bone
4:10
Speaker 2: where they get absolutely obliterated. And the fact that if
4:14
Speaker 2: you are a season ticket holder, PSL owner, you've been
4:17
Speaker 2: to three home games and we have gotten blown out
4:20
Speaker 2: in both of them and given up 59 points and
4:22
Speaker 2: 43 points in like i'm sorry y'all that's like if
4:27
Speaker 2: y'all think it's it's not southern hospitality like that's supposed
4:31
Speaker 2: to piss you off as a as a psl owner.
4:33
Speaker 3: Yeah and the more we've gone over time and the
4:35
Speaker 3: more stuff that we've seen um the the chippier the
4:39
Speaker 3: fan base gets one of the stories that we heard
4:42
Speaker 3: so much of when we got here was what we
4:43
Speaker 3: talked about the other day was they want the hornets
4:45
Speaker 3: lost by 40 their first game ever people she gone
4:50
Speaker 3: I think she finally left us alone. Oh, my God.
4:53
Speaker 3: She got Boomer now. Boomer doesn't deserve this. Boomer's the
4:56
Speaker 3: nicest guy in the world.
4:57
Speaker 2: Oh, I see it here. She's got Boomer cornered right now.
5:01
Speaker 2: She is terrible.
5:02
Speaker 3: There's Boomer. Boomer, get Tammy out of here. Boomer, get
5:05
Speaker 3: in your bunker, man. My God, not Boomer. The fan
5:08
Speaker 3: base was cheering on 40-point losses.
5:10
Speaker 2: It was new. It was fresh. It was different.
5:12
Speaker 3: But eventually, when you see losses and a franchise moves
5:16
Speaker 3: away and all these other things happen, I'm talking about
5:18
Speaker 3: both the Hornets and the basketball and football year, eventually
5:22
Speaker 3: that does wear off. And now I think we're seeing
5:25
Speaker 3: the totality of... in the wear and tear of the
5:27
Speaker 3: scar tissue play itself.
5:30
Speaker 2: It is true. Like this dude said, bro, we Charlotte
5:33
Speaker 2: sports fans, sorry if we get a little agitated. I mean, yeah,
5:36
Speaker 2: what we've been through cumulatively, right, as Panther and Hornets fans,
5:41
Speaker 2: recent history, Hornets, a lot of history. Um, sorry if,
5:47
Speaker 2: you know, sorry if those old wounds get opened back
5:50
Speaker 2: up or whatever. Um, this texter says, I'm going to
5:53
Speaker 2: be honest. The Panthers 100% deserved it. It felt a
5:57
Speaker 2: bit harsh towards the Hornets. Yeah, they stunk, but they're
6:00
Speaker 2: missing two of their best players. They're missing Grant Williams
6:03
Speaker 2: off the bench and they just traded Lamello ball. I
6:06
Speaker 2: don't think the players deserve that. I think the last
6:10
Speaker 2: part of what you just said is what the booze
6:13
Speaker 2: were for. I think they were more bone for management
6:16
Speaker 2: and the Lomelo ball trade than it was at the
6:19
Speaker 2: players specifically. Yes. Do you kind of agree with that?
6:21
Speaker 2: It was a residual anger towards the trade. That was
6:24
Speaker 2: their first visual. Not that it's in full, but in
6:28
Speaker 2: the arena, the first time they saw the team and
6:31
Speaker 2: they put out one of their top five worst performances ever.
6:33
Speaker 2: they've ever had losing by 47 if that happens back
6:37
Speaker 2: five games in 10 games in 20 games in it
6:40
Speaker 2: sucks that we talk about it and we go oh
6:42
Speaker 2: my god they got blown out but i think that
6:44
Speaker 2: it wouldn't be the booing that we saw because they
6:47
Speaker 2: would have seen the team one more yes it was
6:49
Speaker 2: they were they were ready to pounce if things were
6:51
Speaker 2: going as bad as it did and unfortunately it did
6:53
Speaker 2: yeah they they're they want to have their say and
6:56
Speaker 2: again it's for it's sports fan freedom of speech I mean,
7:01
Speaker 2: you pay money like that outside of slurs or saying
7:04
Speaker 2: something disgusting and nasty, right? Like vile, like that's your
7:08
Speaker 2: freedom of speech. That's how you let an organization know
7:11
Speaker 2: how you feel. And that, I think it was all,
7:15
Speaker 2: not all, but mostly about, damn, you traded away LaMelo
7:19
Speaker 2: and look at this garbage, you know? Um, was it,
7:22
Speaker 2: you know, It's a little harsh because, yeah, we're missing
7:25
Speaker 2: key guys or whatever, but I think that's what it's
7:27
Speaker 2: all about. 704 number says, how on earth in 2026
7:32
Speaker 2: are there fans out there that think people should not
7:35
Speaker 2: boo the home team? The money that is spent, the
7:39
Speaker 2: rising cost of tickets, not to mention concessions. How does
7:42
Speaker 2: somebody still have that weird opinion? I tend to agree
7:46
Speaker 2: with that.
7:48
Speaker 3: Fans pay money when you pay for the parking that
7:51
Speaker 3: you pay for, the concessions that you pay for, the tickets,
7:55
Speaker 3: the time, the investment. Fans have opinions. I got no
7:59
Speaker 3: problem with it whatsoever.
8:00
Speaker 2: Not at all.
8:00
Speaker 3: Am I surprised on the Hornets side that it happened
8:04
Speaker 3: in game one? Yeah, half one, game one. The Panthers,
8:08
Speaker 3: am I surprised that they ended up getting booed on
8:10
Speaker 3: that particular game because of what we thought going in? Yeah,
8:13
Speaker 3: boos can surprise you. But if fans are there to
8:18
Speaker 3: voice their opinion, it's not always going to be good.
8:20
Speaker 3: So I have no problem with that, Mac. I've got
8:22
Speaker 3: some upsetting news here via the text line.
8:25
Speaker 2: What's that?
8:25
Speaker 3: Tampa Tammy is now texting the text line. She's found
8:27
Speaker 3: the text line? Remember when she got the number last week?
8:30
Speaker 3: Did you all know you lost 43-13? We had seen
8:35
Speaker 3: that score once or twice.
8:37
Speaker 2: Yes.
8:37
Speaker 3: Tammy now, y'all can't even see her.
8:40
Speaker 2: Y'all can't even hear her because we literally locked the
8:42
Speaker 2: door and don't let the woman in because she's pretty obnoxious.
8:45
Speaker 2: But Pfeiffer 12 is now bothered by her, just us
8:48
Speaker 2: describing how she's acting. He says, congrats, Tammy. You're two
8:52
Speaker 2: and five. Your shift is over. Clock out and go home.
8:56
Speaker 3: Oh, my God.
8:57
Speaker 2: This dude says, I have a coworker that is a
9:00
Speaker 2: Falcons fan. The good news is they never beat us anymore.
9:03
Speaker 2: But when they did, this guy was the most obnoxious
9:06
Speaker 2: human on the planet. I fear that Tammy is worse
9:09
Speaker 2: than him.
9:12
Speaker 3: I mean, they can hear her all the way to
9:16
Speaker 3: WBT studio.
9:17
Speaker 2: I don't know.
9:18
Speaker 3: We don't hear her out here with this collab, but
9:19
Speaker 3: they hear her down there. Do we have the good,
9:21
Speaker 3: good glass? She's chased Zoki down the hallway before. And
9:24
Speaker 3: Zoki's not really a guy that wants to be chased
9:26
Speaker 3: down the hallway. He doesn't want any part of that.
9:29
Speaker 3: He wants to go from his office, his area, to
9:33
Speaker 3: the studio. He doesn't really want anything to bother him
9:35
Speaker 3: in between that.
9:37
Speaker 2: Uh 704-570-9610 if y'all want to jump in here we're
9:41
Speaker 2: talking about the fact that you had the double boo
9:45
Speaker 2: weekend where the hornets get it on friday night for
9:47
Speaker 2: the home fans the panthers on sunday and just how
9:50
Speaker 2: we you know how deserving they were of it where
9:53
Speaker 2: did i mean the panthers you don't need to ask
9:55
Speaker 2: where the frustrations came from i mean you did that
9:58
Speaker 2: in your first and third home games your defense looks
10:01
Speaker 2: like that not to mention every phase of the panthers
10:04
Speaker 2: look like garbage against a team that was one in
10:06
Speaker 2: five coming in the hornets boos do feel a little
10:09
Speaker 2: bit more nuanced uh let's see here the bagel guy
10:12
Speaker 2: says mac uh you can boo just don't point ask
10:16
Speaker 2: asia wilson That pointing triggered her that night, man. There
10:21
Speaker 2: ain't no doubt about it. 704 number says, the problem
10:27
Speaker 2: I have is not the booing. It's the fact that
10:29
Speaker 2: some people just want to show up to a game
10:32
Speaker 2: and be miserable. It's almost like they're looking for a
10:34
Speaker 2: reason to scream rather than have fun. I don't. I mean,
10:39
Speaker 2: I'm sure there are. I mean, society has people that
10:41
Speaker 2: are probably looking for a reason to be mad, right?
10:43
Speaker 2: I mean, but I don't think.
10:47
Speaker 2: Like, you can't tell me you said, like, we were
10:49
Speaker 2: both at, like, Finney was at both these games.
10:52
Speaker 3: I was at the Panther game.
10:53
Speaker 2: You were at the Hornets game. We have both talked, Bone,
10:56
Speaker 2: about the atmosphere and the buzz beforehand and, like, the
10:59
Speaker 2: excitement going into those games. I don't think this was
11:03
Speaker 2: a scenario, like, yes, in some seasons where the Panthers
11:07
Speaker 2: have stunk so bad, like, I'm sure there are fans
11:10
Speaker 2: going there to put bags on their heads or or
11:12
Speaker 2: to forms of protest, whatever, or like, I want to
11:16
Speaker 2: voice my, but that was, I don't get the feeling bone.
11:18
Speaker 2: That was the fan vibe going in at all. Right? No, no,
11:23
Speaker 2: not in the least.
11:24
Speaker 3: It wasn't one. And by the way, again, I'll point
11:27
Speaker 3: this out.
11:28
Speaker 2: If things are so bad and we've had it here
11:30
Speaker 2: before where you are going there and your sole intent
11:33
Speaker 2: is to voice your, you have that right to, to
11:35
Speaker 2: let the organization know you are an upset fan. We
11:38
Speaker 2: are their damn customers. You know, this is a customer feedback.
11:43
Speaker 3: Someone says double boo weekend is when flounder is going
11:46
Speaker 3: to get two dates in one weekend.
11:48
Speaker 2: That would be amazing.
11:49
Speaker 3: Cause we have to turn our attention because, because Finney's now,
11:53
Speaker 3: Finney's one weekend away from being eloped here. We, we
11:56
Speaker 3: need to turn our attention to the flounder. I think
11:58
Speaker 3: our work is done with, I think we've, we've sent our, we, we,
12:02
Speaker 3: we set up our guy the best we can. We
12:04
Speaker 3: need to now work on the flounder a little bit.
12:06
Speaker 3: I think that's a good collectively as a station. We
12:09
Speaker 3: got to get the flounder on some dates.
12:11
Speaker 2: Let's do it. I think that's a hell of a call, man.
12:13
Speaker 2: Because he's the nicest dude. He deserves it. He deserves it.
12:16
Speaker 2: He's been through a lot. Look who his best friend is.
12:19
Speaker 2: It's true.
12:20
Speaker 3: But he flounder deserves. Flounder deserves someone in his life.
12:25
Speaker 3: I think that's a noble effort that we take. Plus,
12:28
Speaker 3: I'm kind of bored by the Fitty Love Life segments now.
12:31
Speaker 3: What him and Maddie do reminds me of me and Mrs. Mack,
12:36
Speaker 3: and it's not really that exciting. Flounder, we got to
12:39
Speaker 3: get some spicy dates going for Flounder. Anybody that has
12:42
Speaker 3: knowledge of any women that might want to date a
12:45
Speaker 3: passionate sports fan named Flounder, please send the tip. It's
12:51
Speaker 3: a tip line. It's a flounder date tip line. How
12:53
Speaker 3: does my life not excite you? We shared a calzone
12:56
Speaker 3: on Sunday.
12:57
Speaker 2: I can't. Did that not excite you? Two people sharing
12:59
Speaker 2: a calzone? Were you doing it like, were you doing
13:04
Speaker 2: it Lady of the Tramp style with a mozzarella cheese bone? No.
13:07
Speaker 3: Also, I didn't have onions and peppers because of my
13:09
Speaker 3: acid reflux, but that's a very exciting Sunday.
13:13
Speaker 2: Oh man uh let's meet with a good time uh
13:16
Speaker 2: jimmy d from denver if you get if you go
13:18
Speaker 2: by get what you pay for we are getting what
13:21
Speaker 2: we're paying for um uh let's see hot dog condiment
13:25
Speaker 2: says hook flounder up with tampa tammy could you imagine
13:28
Speaker 2: tampa tammy and flounder on a date at the bar
13:31
Speaker 2: watching her bucks against his giants That's going to end
13:36
Speaker 2: bone with the cops being called. It would be a
13:38
Speaker 2: volatile situation. I don't think.
13:41
Speaker 3: That's oil and water, I feel like.
13:43
Speaker 2: You know what I mean? I feel like that could
13:45
Speaker 2: be ugly. Oh, man. Let's see what else we have
13:49
Speaker 2: going on here.
13:50
Speaker 3: Unless someone takes a triglyceride dart to the neck.
13:54
Speaker 2: Dr. Suave says, you think the Panthers would send all
13:57
Speaker 2: the fans a customer survey?
13:59
Speaker 3: I would say, could I get my money back?
14:03
Speaker 2: It's fun. That's one thing. The refunds ain't going to come.
14:05
Speaker 2: So all you can do is just voice your displeasure.
14:09
Speaker 2: Let's see here. This fake moon says you low key
14:13
Speaker 2: just said your wife was not exciting. Hope Mrs. Mack
14:15
Speaker 2: doesn't let you. Do you think my wife thinks being
14:18
Speaker 2: married to me is exciting at this point? It's it's
14:20
Speaker 2: more about the fact we've been married for 21 years.
14:23
Speaker 2: I think that it is each other. It's just we
14:26
Speaker 2: kind of have our chill routine. I love it. It's awesome.
14:29
Speaker 2: She's the best. But like the whole point of the
14:31
Speaker 2: 50 dating segments was, oh man, he's out on a date.
14:34
Speaker 4: What's going to happen?
14:35
Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Like there's no, I know
14:37
Speaker 2: what's going to happen. at the Mac household. It's going
14:41
Speaker 2: to be great, but it's just, it's, it's, you know,
14:44
Speaker 2: it's routine. There's nothing, there's nothing that surprises you. There's
14:48
Speaker 2: a lot of booing though that happens. Booing. This dude says, uh,
14:52
Speaker 2: the fact that anybody texted y'all and said these two
14:55
Speaker 2: lame ass organizations don't deserve boos is crazy. Now I
14:59
Speaker 2: will say this, it does need to be acknowledged that
15:02
Speaker 2: And I know that right now with the Panthers, y'all
15:04
Speaker 2: don't want to hear this. But it does need to
15:06
Speaker 2: be acknowledged, Bone. I do feel like there are way
15:10
Speaker 2: smarter people running these organizations, Bone, and in charge of
15:13
Speaker 2: these organizations than we have seen in the past. And
15:16
Speaker 2: that they are both making progress. I do want to
15:19
Speaker 2: say that. Like the 3-1 start, that first night for
15:23
Speaker 2: the Hornets was ugly. The 3-1 start bone for the
15:26
Speaker 2: Hornets with who's missing, and I know the schedule hasn't
15:29
Speaker 2: been brutal, and the way they're shooting the ball, I
15:32
Speaker 2: actually think has been pretty commendable, the way they're finding
15:35
Speaker 2: a way to be 3-1. And hell, the Panthers are
15:37
Speaker 2: even still in first place. I don't want to act
15:39
Speaker 2: like they're still doormats, you know what I mean? Like
15:43
Speaker 2: they were not that long ago. I don't think the
15:46
Speaker 2: Hornets are going to get booed often this year. No,
15:48
Speaker 2: I wouldn't.
15:49
Speaker 3: I think that was an extreme of night one and just...
15:53
Speaker 3: An absolute destructive performance by the Hawks. I don't think
15:58
Speaker 3: that's going to be a common theme here with the Hornets.
16:00
Speaker 3: I wouldn't think so, anyway.
16:02
Speaker 2: I hope not.
16:03
Speaker 3: I don't know.
16:04
Speaker 2: I'm talking to myself right now. I think the fans,
16:09
Speaker 2: it's not just going to go away, Bone, the anger
16:11
Speaker 2: that LaMelo didn't get re-signed. or got, or got traded.
16:13
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. That's not going to go away. So like
16:17
Speaker 2: if they get blown out again, I could see, you
16:19
Speaker 2: know what I mean? Those folks, there's still a lot
16:21
Speaker 2: of people that still harbor that anger, but I do,
16:24
Speaker 2: I do tend to, uh, to agree with you on that.
16:26
Speaker 2: 704 number says shocking news. Being married to Mac is
16:30
Speaker 2: not exciting. I think you might be not sincere, sir.
16:36
Speaker 2: I think he might be sarcastic.
16:38
Speaker 3: Maybe they are shocked. When we come back, Sam Bruckhaus
16:41
Speaker 3: of Sumer Sports goes through some Panther numbers and stats
16:46
Speaker 3: and gives us his take on what went wrong on
16:48
Speaker 3: Sunday and what to expect tomorrow night on Sports Radio
16:51
Speaker 3: 92.7 WFNZ.
17:18
Speaker 2: All right. Tampa Tammy has left the building. Someone left
17:22
Speaker 2: your house. Our building manager. Oh, did we hear that there? Somebody. Oh, yeah.
17:28
Speaker 2: All right.
17:28
Speaker 3: Somebody's out and about.
17:29
Speaker 2: That's good. We got a child going to school. That's good.
17:32
Speaker 2: Good news for the McLeans. Our building manager, Donald, was
17:39
Speaker 2: shaking his head at Tampa Tammy.
17:41
Speaker 3: And the whole scene that she caused? All of WBT
17:43
Speaker 3: was looking at me walking down the hallway and pointing
17:45
Speaker 3: at me. No one steps up in the moment. And
17:48
Speaker 3: then I walked down the hallway, Matt, and it's like
17:49
Speaker 3: we just got bullied in high school. There's a high
17:52
Speaker 3: school fight going on here. We got stuffed in a
17:54
Speaker 3: locker and no one gets us out of this thing.
17:56
Speaker 3: Everybody else is scared to jump in. And also, she
17:59
Speaker 3: is like the smallest little girl. That's the funniest thing
18:02
Speaker 3: about it.
18:03
Speaker 2: Because we get a text from Baron that is like,
18:05
Speaker 2: every time you guys describe Tampa Tammy, I think of
18:07
Speaker 2: Melissa McCarthy.
18:08
Speaker 1: Yeah.
18:09
Speaker 2: And I'm like, that's funny. And maybe she'll play her
18:12
Speaker 2: in the movie, Bone, Tampa Tam in the movie. But, like,
18:15
Speaker 2: she's like this little thing. You know what I mean?
18:18
Speaker 3: Oh, no, she's like 4'11.
18:21
Speaker 2: Is that where the anger comes from, that she just
18:23
Speaker 2: lost out when hype was being handed out? She was
18:26
Speaker 2: like last in line. Is that where this comes from?
18:29
Speaker 2: All right. Anyway, let's get away from being harassed by
18:32
Speaker 2: the Bucs fan in the building outside the window, and
18:35
Speaker 2: let's focus on the Carolina Panthers.
18:37
Speaker 3: What happened in that game?
18:38
Speaker 2: What to expect? from panthers packers let's talk some football
18:42
Speaker 2: with sam brookhouse from sumer sports just an absolutely amazing
18:47
Speaker 2: sports uh stats advanced stats site it is a tremendous
18:51
Speaker 2: resource and sam joins us here on the mac and
18:53
Speaker 2: bone show hey sam what's happening man how you doing
18:56
Speaker 2: Doing well.
18:57
Speaker 1: How are y'all?
18:58
Speaker 2: We're doing all right. We're healing, Sam, in the process. Sam,
19:03
Speaker 2: what did you think of that game? We were saying
19:06
Speaker 2: we kind of thought in our growth under Canales and company,
19:10
Speaker 2: we'd like to think we're past games like that, but
19:14
Speaker 2: clearly we're not. What did you think about that?
19:17
Speaker 1: Speaker 3 1 I think got out of hand. And
19:20
Speaker 1: I think there's an interesting element when you look at
19:24
Speaker 1: the most predictive metrics to predict the rest of the
19:28
Speaker 1: season for teams, you always want to look at point
19:32
Speaker 1: differential rather than stuff like when loss record and even better,
19:37
Speaker 1: you want to look at like advanced stats, differentials, like
19:40
Speaker 1: expected points added, which is basically putting all types of
19:44
Speaker 1: yards in context. This is now two games that the
19:49
Speaker 1: Panthers have led. basically spiral completely out of control, especially
19:53
Speaker 1: from the defensive perspective. And we knew this was going
19:56
Speaker 1: to be a young defense. We thought that with another
19:59
Speaker 1: year of growth after last year, that it could potentially
20:02
Speaker 1: look substantially better. But with this and the Bears game
20:06
Speaker 1: giving up 40 plus points, or in the Bears case,
20:09
Speaker 1: 60 plus points, it just begs the question of how
20:13
Speaker 1: mature this defense is right now. And so I think
20:17
Speaker 1: really from a, a analytical perspective, when we're trying to
20:21
Speaker 1: figure out the strength of the Panthers, you have to
20:27
Speaker 1: think about these two basically blow out games and what
20:30
Speaker 1: they mean, especially given that one came against what seems
20:34
Speaker 1: to be a very functional offense. And the other one
20:37
Speaker 1: came against what seems to be a very dysfunctional offense.
20:40
Speaker 1: So a lot to break down there.
20:42
Speaker 3: Sam, when it comes to the areas that are ailing
20:45
Speaker 3: the Panthers' defense, do you view it as something that
20:48
Speaker 3: is fixable within the season that they can do with
20:51
Speaker 3: what they have? Or do they need to maybe look
20:54
Speaker 3: outside for more help to try to fix this right now?
20:58
Speaker 1: Well, I think when you really break it down, there's
21:02
Speaker 1: a couple elements that you want to look at. So
21:05
Speaker 1: right now they're about 20th in expected points added per play.
21:10
Speaker 1: And they're about the same in success rate. So basically
21:14
Speaker 1: what that means is they're allowing explosive plays, but they're
21:17
Speaker 1: also allowing down-to-down success. Now, a lot of that comes
21:22
Speaker 1: from things like turnovers. And right now they have three interceptions,
21:26
Speaker 1: so kind of in the middle of the league there.
21:29
Speaker 1: And those things are not necessarily things that you can
21:32
Speaker 1: really plan for. So I think basically what's going to
21:36
Speaker 1: have to happen is– Either they're going to have to
21:39
Speaker 1: try some different things schematically, or they're going to have
21:44
Speaker 1: to look into potentially adding some new personnel on the
21:47
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball. In particular, what the bread
21:50
Speaker 1: and butter of this team has been. over the last
21:55
Speaker 1: couple of years has been trying to play one high coverage.
21:59
Speaker 1: They're currently third in utilizing one high coverage. Basically that
22:03
Speaker 1: means that they have one player in the middle. Typically
22:06
Speaker 1: someone will be rolled down the quarter, the cornerbacks on
22:09
Speaker 1: the outside will be on the islands. And they've been
22:11
Speaker 1: able to do that because, you know, they have cornerbacks
22:14
Speaker 1: that they've trusted despite them being in and out the
22:16
Speaker 1: lineup this year. I'd like to see that number come down.
22:20
Speaker 1: And I think if you want to look at a
22:22
Speaker 1: team who has done that pretty successfully, at least from
22:25
Speaker 1: a game plan perspective, it's the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tampa
22:29
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers currently sit at fifth in utilizing one high
22:33
Speaker 1: coverage looks, but against the Cowboys and Panthers, they switched
22:38
Speaker 1: it up, played a lot of too high and also
22:40
Speaker 1: utilized a lot of blitz. So from a schematic perspective,
22:43
Speaker 1: I think that's what I would like to see.
22:46
Speaker 2: We're talking with Sam Bruckhaus from Summersports, Summersports.com. I can't
22:51
Speaker 2: give them enough praise in terms of all the different
22:55
Speaker 2: stats that it provides you with, give you more context.
22:57
Speaker 2: You're hearing a lot of them from Sam here. Sam,
23:00
Speaker 2: on offense, it was a disappointment in all three phases, obviously.
23:06
Speaker 2: But on offense, it was the first game where Bryce
23:10
Speaker 2: really looked bad. And a lot of people said, man,
23:13
Speaker 2: that looked like Bryce from a couple years ago.
23:15
Speaker 3: Would you.
23:16
Speaker 2: Would you tell us to be a little concerned that
23:20
Speaker 2: there could be more of that? Green Bay's got a
23:22
Speaker 2: good defense. Denver's got a talented defense. Or do you
23:25
Speaker 2: think that was more of an aberration in this offense
23:28
Speaker 2: and Bryce will get back on track soon?
23:31
Speaker 3: Yeah.
23:31
Speaker 1: I think this upcoming week against green Bay will be
23:34
Speaker 1: the true test of that because I don't necessarily trust
23:37
Speaker 1: green Bay's defense all that much. It looks like a
23:41
Speaker 1: close game that they played with Detroit last week. In reality,
23:45
Speaker 1: it was one of the biggest spreads between success rate
23:49
Speaker 1: and the actual point scored going back to 2016. They
23:53
Speaker 1: really did not do a good job of stopping the
23:55
Speaker 1: Detroit lions. What they, what they did a okay job of,
23:58
Speaker 1: I guess, was generating turnovers. I'll be at one was
24:01
Speaker 1: on a messed up snap and the lions missed out
24:05
Speaker 1: on a fourth down conversion deep in their own territory.
24:09
Speaker 1: So basically when you try to break those things down,
24:13
Speaker 1: you start to realize this, this Packers defense could be
24:16
Speaker 1: pretty shaky. So I think this could be a very,
24:18
Speaker 1: very good test. What it comes down to is Bryce
24:21
Speaker 1: is a smaller quarterback and smaller quarterbacks really struggle when
24:25
Speaker 1: they get pressure. In particular, Rasheed Walker last week really
24:29
Speaker 1: struggled with pressure. And the Packers don't necessarily have a
24:33
Speaker 1: go-to edge rusher right now. And so I don't think
24:36
Speaker 1: that's going to be that big of a problem this week.
24:39
Speaker 1: They're going to try to mix up looks, get different matchups.
24:43
Speaker 1: blitz and stunt quite a little bit and try to
24:46
Speaker 1: manufacture pressure that way. So I actually think this could
24:49
Speaker 1: be a good bounce back week for the offense. The
24:51
Speaker 1: big problem is going to be Broncos who have an
24:53
Speaker 1: immense amount of talent and also an immense amount of
24:55
Speaker 1: scheme advantage. That's going to be the true test of
24:58
Speaker 1: this offense.
24:59
Speaker 3: Bryce did not have a performance the other day that
25:02
Speaker 3: was typical of what he was doing to start the season.
25:06
Speaker 3: Are you concerned that there could be a trend down
25:09
Speaker 3: because of the offensive line, or are you expecting Bryce
25:13
Speaker 3: to bounce back? Where do you think the truth is
25:16
Speaker 3: right now with Bryce Young and really the offensive line
25:19
Speaker 3: in front of Bryce?
25:20
Speaker 1: So an interesting element, particularly when it comes to things
25:24
Speaker 1: like getting sacked shows up and it's that typically it
25:29
Speaker 1: sticks with quarterbacks. It sticks game to game. It sticks
25:32
Speaker 1: if you switch teams. And so I do think to
25:35
Speaker 1: a certain degree, this is within Bryce Young's control. I
25:39
Speaker 1: think basically what happened was there was very little access
25:42
Speaker 1: to the middle of the field that was available for
25:46
Speaker 1: him in that Buccaneers game. And we've seen the Buccaneers
25:48
Speaker 1: be able to do that to all fences that pride
25:53
Speaker 1: themselves on accessing the middle of the field. In particular,
25:55
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the Cowboys game where for the better
25:57
Speaker 1: part of three quarters, they really shut the Cowboys down.
26:01
Speaker 1: I think basically it's kinda up to Bryce on how
26:06
Speaker 1: this goes. I think you know, accepting the checkdowns a
26:10
Speaker 1: little bit more, trying not to force it. I think
26:12
Speaker 1: as the game kind of spiraled out of control, he
26:14
Speaker 1: was really trying to force it. And moreover, just ignoring
26:18
Speaker 1: those big, those big negative plays or avoiding those big
26:22
Speaker 1: negative plays rather is the key for him upcoming this week.
26:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, his ability, he, through the first five games, he
26:31
Speaker 2: had seemed to be able to avoid the sacks, right?
26:34
Speaker 2: That pressure to sack number was very good. It was
26:37
Speaker 2: not on Sunday. He could not, it was on him
26:39
Speaker 2: so quick, I don't think he could get away from it.
26:41
Speaker 2: I do want to ask you, Sam, about Green Bay's offense,
26:44
Speaker 2: because my lord, they like to, Love likes to throw
26:47
Speaker 2: it downfield, and I don't know if Golden's going to play,
26:50
Speaker 2: but he and Watson have been taking the top off
26:52
Speaker 2: defenses recently. But, man, their run game and run blocking
26:56
Speaker 2: has been brutal. What do you think about this Green
26:59
Speaker 2: Bay offense?
27:01
Speaker 1: So I want to put in context how brutal their
27:04
Speaker 1: rushing game has been. Whenever we look at offenses and
27:08
Speaker 1: are trying to project them out the rest of the season,
27:10
Speaker 1: this is actually the most anomalous offense that we've really
27:15
Speaker 1: seen in regard to the deviation between their passing game,
27:19
Speaker 1: which has been pretty good this year, all things considered,
27:22
Speaker 1: and their rushing game, which has been one of the
27:24
Speaker 1: worst going back to 2016. It's actually so bad that
27:29
Speaker 1: it would be an anomaly. If the rushing defense doesn't
27:32
Speaker 1: get better as the season continues, just because of the
27:36
Speaker 1: strength of their passing offense. And basically what we figured
27:40
Speaker 1: out is if defenses don't start to respect their passing offense,
27:45
Speaker 1: the rushing game could just magically get better because you know,
27:49
Speaker 1: this is a passing league. But basically, like you said,
27:52
Speaker 1: I think the biggest problem with this Packers offense right
27:55
Speaker 1: now is they lack an identity and they lack a
27:59
Speaker 1: real grounding in the play action game. When you watch
28:02
Speaker 1: teams like the bears or teams like the lions or
28:06
Speaker 1: the 49ers, or the Rams just got back to this
28:09
Speaker 1: in a, in a massive win last week, they're really
28:12
Speaker 1: grounded in play action even if the running game really
28:16
Speaker 1: isn't working, allowing them to create explosives, allowing them to
28:20
Speaker 1: disrupt the linebacker and cores, which thus actually leads to
28:24
Speaker 1: the path, setting up the run rather than vice versa.
28:28
Speaker 1: That's typically what the most successful teams in the league
28:30
Speaker 1: like to do in past years. The Packers have been
28:34
Speaker 1: one of the best and most consistent play action teams.
28:37
Speaker 1: They just kind of stopped doing it last week. They
28:39
Speaker 1: had a sub 20% play action rate. Typically this year
28:44
Speaker 1: in particular, we're seeing play action rates go above 25%
28:49
Speaker 1: of all drop back passes. And so I'd really like
28:52
Speaker 1: to see the Packers. utilize play action more because they're
28:56
Speaker 1: really good at it. It signals a lack of identity.
28:58
Speaker 1: It signals that they don't trust their running game. But
29:02
Speaker 1: the issue is the data shows that they don't have
29:04
Speaker 1: to trust their running game. So I think if you're
29:07
Speaker 1: watching the game and they're running a lot of play
29:09
Speaker 1: action and they're getting a lot of success, perhaps that
29:11
Speaker 1: means the run game could come back. But if you're
29:14
Speaker 1: just watching Jordan Love drop back and throw the ball
29:16
Speaker 1: up in the air, I think this defense actually has
29:18
Speaker 1: a chance to bounce back.
29:20
Speaker 3: Sam, I got to ask you before we let you go.
29:22
Speaker 2: My guy T-Bone here was singing a song with your
29:27
Speaker 2: last name before you came on. To the tune of
29:30
Speaker 2: Brick House, he was singing Bruck House. And I need
29:33
Speaker 2: to know, has this ever happened to you before? This
29:37
Speaker 2: is a private moment of the song got in my head, Sam.
29:41
Speaker 3: Do people do that to you?
29:44
Speaker 1: So I come from a huge family. My mom is
29:47
Speaker 1: the second youngest of nine. My dad's the youngest of six.
29:50
Speaker 1: There's so many Brook houses that are out there. Every
29:54
Speaker 1: single wedding that a Brook house man brings a new
29:58
Speaker 1: Brook house woman into the family. When she walks into
30:01
Speaker 1: the reception, they're playing the Commodores, baby.
30:03
Speaker 3: Okay, there you go. I figured that had to be
30:05
Speaker 3: involved in your life.
30:06
Speaker 2: See, I knew. I knew it. I figured that was
30:08
Speaker 2: the case. I love it. I love it. All right, brother,
30:11
Speaker 2: we appreciate it, man. Keep up the good work. Summersports.com.
30:15
Speaker 2: Y'all definitely need to check it out. Thank you, Sam.
30:17
Speaker 2: Appreciate you.
30:18
Speaker 1: Thank y'all so much.
30:19
Speaker 2: All right, there you go. That's Sam Brookhouse. You didn't
30:21
Speaker 2: add my second part to the song.
30:22
Speaker 3: From Sumer Sports. Letting all the stats hang out.
30:26
Speaker 2: People like the anti-stat crowd kind of got upset. JP
30:30
Speaker 2: from Huntersville called him Sammy Stats.
30:34
Speaker 3: Some of the tectors that have trouble with numbers didn't know.
30:36
Speaker 2: What was going on there. Dan Orlovsky. Dan Orlovsky would
30:39
Speaker 2: not have really enjoyed that segment. More on that in
30:42
Speaker 2: a few minutes. We're here to educate also. I think
30:44
Speaker 2: we got him on like for that perspective, though, like
30:48
Speaker 2: yesterday we had Buck on in the same segment.
30:50
Speaker 3: So a lot of y'all are in the car same time.
30:52
Speaker 2: Right.
30:52
Speaker 3: And yesterday you're in Buckner break things down.
30:54
Speaker 2: Well, this you know, that's the former player, former defensive player,
30:58
Speaker 2: former defensive coach. Right. Great perspective. And then you bring
31:02
Speaker 2: in Sam, it's the advanced analytics perspective. So it's just,
31:06
Speaker 2: it's a different perspective. Gator Rube called him a nerd.
31:10
Speaker 2: I mean, why? I am a big advanced stats fan.
31:15
Speaker 2: Why the anti-stat geek feelings? I don't get it. It's 2026.
31:20
Speaker 2: Can you call people nerds anymore?
31:21
Speaker 3: Apparently so. Is that allowed? Has that not been canceled?
31:25
Speaker 3: It should have been canceled when I was called a
31:27
Speaker 3: nerd back in my day.
31:29
Speaker 2: Way back in 2025. They definitely used it then. You're
31:32
Speaker 2: aware of that. Anyway, I thought it was good talk there.
31:36
Speaker 2: And I do like the fact that Green Bay has
31:38
Speaker 2: been so hideous at running the football. I think it
31:41
Speaker 2: gives us a chance, Bone, to where we can get
31:43
Speaker 2: back to the way we played run defense games two
31:46
Speaker 2: through five. But that doesn't guarantee you a win. Jordan
31:50
Speaker 2: Love and those receivers and Tucker Kraft can win games
31:53
Speaker 2: on their own, man.
31:54
Speaker 3: You know, before we do a silly segment of random
31:57
Speaker 3: crap involving Dan Orlovsky and Stephen A. Smith, among other things.
32:03
Speaker 3: Some unfortunate news yesterday. A member of the Panther fan family,
32:07
Speaker 3: the Roy Riot, the Mac and Bone listenership, Chris Smith,
32:12
Speaker 3: unexpectedly passed away. So from our radio family, all of
32:16
Speaker 3: us Panther fans, he was a hardcore fan, traveled with
32:19
Speaker 3: the Riot to all the games, very active on social media.
32:22
Speaker 3: Very sad to see the news that a listener, a fan,
32:26
Speaker 3: a friend of so many, Chris Smith, unfortunately, passed away yesterday.
32:30
Speaker 3: So from all of us to the Smith family, We're
32:33
Speaker 3: thinking of Chris. We appreciate all he gave the city
32:37
Speaker 3: of Charlotte.
32:37
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
32:38
Speaker 3: That's terrible. Rest in peace, man. And I'm praying.
32:41
Speaker 2: Anybody that's affected, family members, his friends, fellow Riot members, man.
32:46
Speaker 3: We don't always know per se each person individually, but
32:51
Speaker 3: we do feel a connection to anyone that's been listening.
32:53
Speaker 3: A Panther fan that is a member. of the extended
32:57
Speaker 3: Mackinbone family. So thoughts and prayers to the Smith family.
32:59
Speaker 3: As mentioned, we come back. We'll get silly again. Dan
33:03
Speaker 3: Orwofsky's got a problem with math, all that and more.
33:06
Speaker 3: Coming up next, Sports Radio 92.7.
33:11
Speaker 4: Random crap, random crap. Mac and Bone talk, random crap.
33:15
Speaker 4: Random crap, random crap. Mac and Bone talk, random crap. Random,
33:21
Speaker 4: random crap. Random crap, random crap.
33:27
Speaker 2: What the deuce?
33:29
Speaker 1: Oh, crap.
33:29
Speaker 2: Oh, crap.
33:30
Speaker 3: We stink.
33:31
Speaker 2: Like a baby's blowout-infested diaper. They talk about crap that
33:35
Speaker 2: is random.
33:37
Speaker 1: It's the Queen City's favorite morning tandem.
33:39
Speaker 2: Mack and Bone.
33:40
Speaker 3: Random crap.
33:42
Speaker 2: Mack and Bone. All right, it is time for a
33:51
Speaker 2: little random crap. Let's have a little bit of fun.
33:53
Speaker 2: Coming up at 8 o'clock, and I'm not sure y'all
33:56
Speaker 2: are ready for this. It's a day early because of
33:58
Speaker 2: a Thursday night game, and I don't know if y'all
34:00
Speaker 2: are ready. The victory formula to beat the Packers coming
34:04
Speaker 2: up at 8 o'clock. How do we bounce back? Which
34:07
Speaker 2: we have this tendency to do and get a huge
34:10
Speaker 2: win again in Green Bay. But right now, let's stay
34:14
Speaker 2: calm and cool. Let's have a little fun. And let's
34:16
Speaker 2: laugh at Dan Orlovsky. Because Dan Orlovsky was on the
34:19
Speaker 2: McAfee Show on ESPN and revealed something, Bone, that feels
34:23
Speaker 2: pretty elementary when it comes to math. That the UConn grad...
34:29
Speaker 2: Did not learn until this week. Listen to Dan Orlovsky.
34:32
Speaker 3: Not a good look for Connecticut people.
34:33
Speaker 2: It's not.
34:34
Speaker 3: Listen to Dan Orlovsky.
34:36
Speaker 5: Hand to God, true story. Do you guys know what percent,
34:40
Speaker 5: like the word percent is derived from?
34:43
Speaker 1: Percentile?
34:44
Speaker 2: Percentage?
34:45
Speaker 4: What?
34:46
Speaker 5: But from what? Like how, how, how come it's percent?
34:50
Speaker 2: Uh, pizzas.
34:50
Speaker 5: Cause I think.
34:51
Speaker 2: Okay.
34:51
Speaker 5: So Hambo this morning was like, Joe Burrow, his sack
34:55
Speaker 5: rate is 4%. And I said, dumb this down for me. Why? Like,
35:00
Speaker 5: no human's going to hear me say that I'm going
35:02
Speaker 5: to make them smarter. He goes, well, what do you mean?
35:05
Speaker 5: I said, what does that actually mean? He goes, well,
35:07
Speaker 5: out of every 100 dropbacks, he's getting sacked four times.
35:11
Speaker 5: And I said, is that really what it is? Like,
35:13
Speaker 5: it's always out of 100. Are you kidding me? He's like,
35:15
Speaker 5: per cent.
35:17
Speaker 2: All right, okay. Per centile?
35:19
Speaker 3: Yeah.
35:20
Speaker 2: Centennial mark. Cent is 100. Yeah, per 100.
35:24
Speaker 3: You're a jackass, dude. I think that sums it up.
35:29
Speaker 2: How can somebody that age that worked in sports and
35:34
Speaker 2: has been hearing, like, he had a completion percentage. Did
35:36
Speaker 2: he not know what his completion percentage meant?
35:40
Speaker 5: Maybe.
35:40
Speaker 3: I don't know. Maybe he should have done the math
35:44
Speaker 3: on the size of end zones. He definitely doesn't know that.
35:47
Speaker 3: I love Wawrowski, but that is....
35:51
Speaker 2: Startling it really is like when he was told here's
35:54
Speaker 2: your numbers your 65 percent completions well for them it
35:58
Speaker 2: might have been lower but anyway you get the point
36:00
Speaker 2: he didn't know that that was out of 100 passes
36:03
Speaker 2: it was per 100 that's.
36:05
Speaker 3: And he's been doing and he's been studying quarterbacks and
36:08
Speaker 3: football and not just played the game that's what i'm
36:11
Speaker 3: saying he's a grown person but like how does he
36:13
Speaker 3: think all these stats that he knows about and reads
36:16
Speaker 3: about are accumulated he Also begs the question, Mac, what
36:20
Speaker 3: else doesn't he know?
36:22
Speaker 2: I know he doesn't know much about food. I thought
36:24
Speaker 2: his food takes were bad. That one was unbelievable. Anyway,
36:29
Speaker 2: by the way, I need to need to point out
36:33
Speaker 2: on the McAfee beat, Boney, because there's news about McAfee
36:36
Speaker 2: every dang day.
36:38
Speaker 3: A couple of things. Utah apologized to him.
36:42
Speaker 2: Don't really feel like they had to for sending that
36:45
Speaker 2: video out from the official account of the kids having
36:49
Speaker 2: some fun at his expense.
36:51
Speaker 3: They got very upset about it. If you call a
36:54
Speaker 3: person corny, you better throw out an apology. That is hurtful.
36:59
Speaker 2: Also, Bone, he told the same show on Monday, told
37:02
Speaker 2: everybody he declined a 60 Minutes interview and he declined
37:05
Speaker 2: all media requests forever.
37:08
Speaker 3: Feels like a guy, Matt, that turns down a lot
37:10
Speaker 3: of opportunities in front of the media.
37:12
Speaker 2: Oh, there was the crazy story from Front Office Sports, though,
37:15
Speaker 2: that says after the Charlie Kirk assassination, because he brought
37:18
Speaker 2: that up the other day and it felt kind of
37:19
Speaker 2: weird and out of place. Front Office Sports says the
37:23
Speaker 2: FBI advised McAfee to wear a bulletproof vest out in
37:26
Speaker 2: public at events after the Charlie Kirk assassination.
37:30
Speaker 3: Which is an insane thing. Were there threats maybe, I guess?
37:34
Speaker 2: I don't know.
37:34
Speaker 3: Yes, they talked about him. There had to be some
37:36
Speaker 3: sort of threat against him that we don't know about, obviously.
37:39
Speaker 3: So all jokes aside. However, I do think that due
37:42
Speaker 3: to all this... He should probably sit out game day
37:45
Speaker 3: for the rest of the year.
37:47
Speaker 2: Oh, man. All right. We also got ESPN News, Bone,
37:50
Speaker 2: because poor Stephen A. lost one of his most famous
37:53
Speaker 2: supporters for the Stephen A. presidential campaign that he talks about,
37:57
Speaker 2: but we all know will never occur.
38:00
Speaker 3: Charles Barkley said he's out.
38:02
Speaker 2: Oh, Charles Barkley had been a Stephen A for president supporter.
38:06
Speaker 2: Charles Barkley is out. No word on who he will
38:09
Speaker 2: support bone in the presidential race in two years. But
38:13
Speaker 2: Stephen A no longer has his backing.
38:16
Speaker 3: So now Stephen A. Smith is down to no supporters.
38:19
Speaker 2: That was the one.
38:20
Speaker 3: That was the one that he had.
38:23
Speaker 2: Oh, my gosh. How about this one, Bone Man? Brent
38:26
Speaker 2: Brennan is the Arizona head coach. Don't look now, but
38:30
Speaker 2: T-Mac's alma mater is balling, man. They got a big
38:33
Speaker 2: game against Texas Tech. They're 6-1 right now. Ever since
38:36
Speaker 2: the BYU loss, they've been slaughtering people in the Big 12.
38:40
Speaker 2: But this is the cool random crap story. Brent Brennan,
38:43
Speaker 2: after their latest win... walked into a local bar there, Bone,
38:47
Speaker 2: in Tucson, ordered 300 tequila shots, paid the $ 2, 000 tab,
38:53
Speaker 2: and left all within five minutes. Just wanted to buy
38:56
Speaker 2: the fans some tequila and rolled out $ 2, 000 worth of tequila.
39:01
Speaker 2: He also, Bone, bought a Boys and Girls Club 1,000
39:04
Speaker 2: tickets to an upcoming game. How about this guy? So
39:07
Speaker 2: this is cool stuff, dude. I love when coaches do
39:09
Speaker 2: stuff like this. Yeah, you're right, though.
39:10
Speaker 3: Arizona's been sneaky good this year. There's been a lot
39:13
Speaker 3: of Big 12 teams talked about. They have not been
39:15
Speaker 3: one of them. No, they deserve a little bit of love, man.
39:18
Speaker 3: Texas Tech better bring it way better than they did
39:20
Speaker 3: against Cincy for this game. How about Panthers beat the Packers, Mac?
39:24
Speaker 2: You walk in a bar and buy 300 shots. of people.
39:26
Speaker 2: I'm not sure I make the same amount of money
39:28
Speaker 2: as Coach, unfortunately, though.
39:30
Speaker 3: I think you would buy maybe somebody one Shirley Temple,
39:32
Speaker 3: and then it'd be out.
39:35
Speaker 2: Water's for everybody. That's what I'll do. Ice water's for
39:38
Speaker 2: everybody at the Dilworth Neighborhood Grill as they're putting up
39:41
Speaker 2: the new Panther sign. Oh, man. All right, so what
39:45
Speaker 2: was their sign? Did you see their sign this week?
39:47
Speaker 2: What did they have up this week? We got beat
39:50
Speaker 2: so bad we got taken off of TV. Keep drinking. Oh,
39:53
Speaker 2: keep drinking. Yeah, we got taken off because of the DirecTV.
39:55
Speaker 2: I saw it yesterday when we were picking up my lunch.
39:57
Speaker 3: The DirecTV outage.
39:59
Speaker 2: They were spoofing. All right. How about this one? Could
40:02
Speaker 2: you imagine Fitty getting involved in this, Bone? Cody Campbell,
40:06
Speaker 2: you know, the world's most famous booster, speaking of Texas Tech.
40:10
Speaker 2: Cody Campbell has threatened a local sports radio station in
40:14
Speaker 2: Lubbock that Texas Tech will pull all their guests from
40:19
Speaker 2: now until the end of civilization from their sports radio
40:21
Speaker 2: station because he's angry at one of the producers. at
40:25
Speaker 2: the sports radio station in Lubbock. This dude took a
40:29
Speaker 2: run at Cody Campbell. Cody Campbell tweeted out that the
40:32
Speaker 2: loss was unacceptable on Saturday and they have to do better.
40:36
Speaker 2: And the producer quote tweeted him and said, sometimes you
40:40
Speaker 2: just need to learn.
40:41
Speaker 3: To shut your mouth and not talk.
40:44
Speaker 2: Oh, And Cody Campbell, of course he probably runs all
40:48
Speaker 2: of Lubbock and half of Texas, did not like it. So, Fitty,
40:52
Speaker 2: is this your next trick, Fitty, ticking off David Tepper
40:56
Speaker 2: or some very rich, powerful person in Charlotte? Well, I
40:59
Speaker 2: did have my run-in with Steve Smith. He called the
41:02
Speaker 2: hotline and told me to keep my name out of
41:04
Speaker 2: his mouth, came into the studio. and addressed me after
41:09
Speaker 2: comments I made about him on the air. So I've
41:12
Speaker 2: had one run in before. Bone, by the way, bone
41:14
Speaker 2: crawled so you could walk in that respect.
41:16
Speaker 3: Yeah.
41:19
Speaker 2: And someone will run. A future person will run. And
41:21
Speaker 2: Steve Smith gets mad at him. Like, Mac, you tell
41:23
Speaker 2: me who you want me to get into a feud with.
41:26
Speaker 2: I don't really want it.
41:27
Speaker 3: And I'll do it. For the sake of the station,
41:29
Speaker 3: I don't.
41:29
Speaker 2: Well, okay.
41:30
Speaker 3: It needs to be somebody that will not hurt the station.
41:33
Speaker 2: Like, it appears like this producer may bone severely hurt
41:36
Speaker 2: the station's programming.
41:37
Speaker 3: I want you to fight Kyle Bailey in the parking lot.
41:39
Speaker 5: Okay.
41:40
Speaker 2: Well, you know, this town ain't big enough for the
41:44
Speaker 2: two of us.
41:45
Speaker 3: I don't want you to mess up relationships outside of
41:48
Speaker 3: the station, but if someone here took a run at you,
41:51
Speaker 3: we could use that for content.
41:52
Speaker 2: Did you see the very strange text out of nowhere
41:56
Speaker 2: that wanted Bailey and Smitty?
41:59
Speaker 3: To fight for charity.
42:00
Speaker 2: Did you see that?
42:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know what. Where did that come from?
42:05
Speaker 2: They're pretty darn tight.
42:06
Speaker 1: Why?
42:07
Speaker 3: I don't get that. That was a weird one to me.
42:08
Speaker 3: But for charity, though.
42:09
Speaker 2: For a good cause. Do we lead the league in
42:11
Speaker 2: strange texts? We have to.
42:13
Speaker 3: And I wonder, is that because of the two hosts?
42:15
Speaker 2: Well, that's what I was going to say. Yeah, I
42:19
Speaker 2: feel like the audience. You know how they say you
42:23
Speaker 2: start looking like your dog? I feel like the audience
42:26
Speaker 2: starts acting like the hosts.
42:28
Speaker 3: If i start looking like murphy i'm in trouble he's got.
42:32
Speaker 2: Some jowls man is murphy becoming does murphy's fan following
42:36
Speaker 2: growing like mabel's or is there never going to be
42:38
Speaker 2: another mabel what do.
42:40
Speaker 3: You know he he gets more facebook run than mabel
42:43
Speaker 3: got like that face uh people are drawn to that
42:46
Speaker 3: face i just haven't made him uh his own Twitter
42:49
Speaker 3: page or anything like that yet.
42:50
Speaker 2: So that's the next step.
42:52
Speaker 5: Yeah.
42:52
Speaker 3: Did you see the text we got?
42:53
Speaker 2: Should I do that? I probably should. Did you see
42:55
Speaker 2: the next text, the text we got yesterday about you
42:57
Speaker 2: and Kirk Herbstreet?
42:58
Speaker 5: No.
42:58
Speaker 2: Somebody says, who does a better job marketing their dogs,
43:01
Speaker 2: Herbstreet or Bone? Oh, Herbstreet's got his dogs on commercials.
43:04
Speaker 2: Multiple commercials, dude. That's the next level for you and Murph, dude.
43:09
Speaker 2: That's it, man.
43:10
Speaker 3: No, he's got, he's got the ability to, uh, To
43:13
Speaker 3: be a big star. I'm kind of easing him into
43:17
Speaker 3: the star life.
43:18
Speaker 1: Yeah.
43:18
Speaker 2: More videos of his shenanigans could go over well.
43:21
Speaker 3: He's got some big footsteps to follow. That is true.
43:24
Speaker 3: He had a video yesterday I didn't post yet where
43:26
Speaker 3: he had at the dog park just both sides of
43:29
Speaker 3: his mouth, shoestring slobber all the way to the ground.
43:32
Speaker 2: Oh, you got to love that. You got to love that.
43:34
Speaker 2: Both shoestrings. And I'm thinking to myself, is this gross
43:37
Speaker 2: to post or not?
43:38
Speaker 3: I don't know.
43:39
Speaker 2: Maybe I should have posted it. That's what you have
43:41
Speaker 2: to do. Like with Mabel, you just marketed her. I mean,
43:45
Speaker 2: she was just so loveable.
43:46
Speaker 3: I kind of crafted her personality a little bit because
43:50
Speaker 3: she didn't really do a whole lot of stuff. So
43:52
Speaker 3: I kind of had to take photos of her when
43:56
Speaker 3: she wasn't looking and do various stuff. Murphy's oozing personality.
43:59
Speaker 3: Murphy's his own dude, man. There you go, man. Yesterday
44:03
Speaker 3: I took him to the vet and he immediately walked
44:05
Speaker 3: behind the counter of the vet and stood up on
44:08
Speaker 3: his paws like he was working there.
44:11
Speaker 2: While they were working.
44:12
Speaker 3: And I was like, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. He
44:14
Speaker 3: thinks he works here.
44:14
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, you and Herbie need to teach dog
44:17
Speaker 2: marketing 101 to people, man. That could be a thing
44:20
Speaker 2: for you. Herbie's got Peter more advanced right now than
44:23
Speaker 2: Murphy is. Slightly. That sounded weird if you cut that off.
44:26
Speaker 3: But when we come back here on the Mac and
44:29
Speaker 3: Bone radio program, victory formula. Oh, that's right. How do
44:34
Speaker 3: we grill the cheese tomorrow night?
44:37
Speaker 2: Anybody?
44:39
Speaker 3: Love it.
44:39
Speaker 2: Thank you. Sports Radio 92.7
