  Speaker 2: and Eagles on Sunday. So we're going to talk to him.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: And I want to know, can he stay unbiased when
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: he calls an Eagle game? I was going to make
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: that joke today, and I thought that's really dumb. I'll
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: let Matt go ahead and make that joke today.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: You are relinquishing the rights to that lame dad joke?
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: I'm out.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Great.
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: Goody.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: I won that one. What if Joe's angel called an
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: angel's game? We are.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: What's in the punch this morning here at WFNZ? You
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: drag me down to bad levels.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Let's bring him in. That's right, baby. An angel and
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: an eagle this hour on the Mac and Bone Show.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Jones Angel, this is his regular spot. We played his
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Tar Heel music. They're fresh off a big upset win.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: against Pittsburgh and a win in the exhibition opener for
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: the basketball team. We're going to talk about both things
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: and preview the Duke game coming up on the football side.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Jones Angel joins us, play-by-play voice of the Heels. What's up, Jones?
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: How you doing, man? Jones, what's happening? Were those jokes
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: so bad, Bone, we ran Jones off? We didn't hit
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: the ears of an angel there. Jones said, I don't
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: want to be a part of this operation. It's bad
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: for my reputation.
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: Oh, no.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: What are we thinking, Fit? What do we think is
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: going on over there? We had Lugenbill on. I'm going
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: to dump him and see if he just calls back. Okay, dump.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: You're dumping your girlfriend? What happened? That was a dumb joke, too. Oh,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Sidney's on the phone.
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: That was a dumb joke, too. All right, anyway. We're
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: not handling adversity well here on the Mac and Bone
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: radio program. I'm not handling anything well.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Charlotte FC did not handle adversity last night very well. No,
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: I'm performing right now like Charlotte. That's a transitional comment there.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: I'm performing right now like Charlotte FC's midfield last night.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Willie P looked in here, Bone, and had a look
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: on his face a day after that 3-1 loss. to
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: columbus where we give up 33 shots he looked like
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: his puppy uh ran away he i mean it was
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: a sad face willie he was.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Frowning and limping and barely making down the hallway like
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: he played.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Last night oh god it was ugly man i'm just
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: gonna try to forget about that one all right we
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: got jones angel back with us now we thought he
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: may have hung up over uh protest over our lame
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: dad jokes but jones angel is with him what's up
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: jones how you doing man.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Hey, guys.
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: No, I could hear you. You couldn't hear me. But, hey,
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: we're going to make it happen. Glad to be with
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: you guys. And, yeah, busy weekend upcoming for the Heels.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: Looking forward to it. And a great weekend this past
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: weekend for sure. So trying to build off that momentum
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: and see where they can go.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: What did you think of the win against Pittsburgh? It
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: was a gritty one. It was like that TCU game.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: And I feel like if they can get in these gritty,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: tough games, I think these are games they can win
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: more of. What did you think about that performance?
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, it certainly wasn't the prettiest game in
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: the world, but I think Carolina certainly enjoyed the final score.
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: And that's kind of where they are, to your point.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: And I think as you look at this schedule, yeah,
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: outside of Miami, who's coming up in a couple of weeks,
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: and Miami's in a really, really good team and better
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: than the Tar Heels this season. Not saying Carolina can't
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: win that game, but just talent-wise, they're at a different
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: level at the moment. Every other game, including this weekend
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: against Duke, you're looking at comparable teams. There might be
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: some areas that are a little better, some areas where
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: the Tar Heels are a little better, whatever, but pretty
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: comparable teams. For Carolina, you're likely going to be in
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: some of these really tight games. Or can you be
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: the team that doesn't make the mistake? Can you be
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: the team that takes advantage when the other team makes
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: a mistake? Can you be the team that hits the
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: big player, too, that makes the difference? And so I
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: felt like Carolina did that really well this past week.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: I mean, guys, Pittsburgh really controlled the first half of
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: that game. They ran 31 more plays than Carolina did.
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: They had the ball 15 more minutes than the Tar
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: Heels did just in the first half. And yet the
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: score was 10 to seven at halftime because the Tar
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: Heels kind of hung around and done enough and they
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: were in there and then played much better in the
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: second half and won the game.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: And so and they did it.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: With some adversity. You know, they had two defensive starters
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: that did not play in this game. Two more defensive
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: starters that got hurt during the game. And so they
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: were down some important bodies and players as well. And
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: so I do think that they felt good leaving Pittsburgh
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: for a lot of reasons. And now you try and
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: build off that and take another step.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Jones, how impressed have you been with Jordan Shipp from
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: a performance and leadership standpoint?
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: Oh, man, it's hard not to be impressed with Jordan Shipp.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: He's just an impressive guy from off the field to
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: on the field to in the classroom to in the community.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: I mean, all the stuff. Yeah, Jordan is the type
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: of player that you want to be one of the
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: faces of your program. And, yeah, he has really stuck
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: with Carolina. You know, I mean, he was there. His
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: first year was Mack Brown's last year of his second tenure.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: Then Jordan was here last year during what was a
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: difficult season for Carolina with a lot of transition. And
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: he's kind of just taken an elevated role every year
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: and both on and off the field to now. You know,
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: he really is one of those guys that that that
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: leads this program. He's gotten a lot better as a
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: player as well. I mean, he's gotten faster. He's gotten stronger.
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: He's just more seasoned. All the things you would expect
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: as somebody gets older. But he's really attacked that. He
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: works really hard. And I think you guys may have
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: seen that video in the locker room after the game where,
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: you know, Coach Belichick kind of addresses the team and
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: then they're about to break down and Jordan Shipp busts
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: in there with a game ball and says, hey, hey,
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: you know, this first ranked win under coach. Yeah, it's
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: like we appreciate coach. We appreciate everything you do for
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: us or whatever it was that he said.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: And.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: Then everybody kind of jumped around and got excited. And
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: so he is a guy that you love being a
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: part of your program. And gosh, it's a benefit for
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: Carolina every day that Jordan Shipp's on the team.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: I love it. And I don't expect you, Jones, to
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: repeat on live radio the quote of, you've taken a
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: lot of bleep. But I love that. You can tell
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: they're like, man, that's our coach. Get off his back.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: We won this for you. You can tell the chemistry
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: and the culture there is on an uptick. Now, what
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: does that mean in this game against Duke? Because if
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: they could get back-to-back wins, a Pitt and a Duke,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: and get that victory bell, that would really go a
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: long ways. What do you think about how these two
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: teams match up?
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Duke's had a solid season, 4-1 through five games.
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: I don't think the Blue Devils have played a super
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: tough schedule, but they've beaten who's in front of them.
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: So that's all you can ask, right? And even their
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: loss last week was a game where they led the
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: game late. Georgia Tech made a few plays, and then
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: Duke even had a chance to try and tie it
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: and just missed the field goal at the end of
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: the game. So they've either won or been really competitive
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: every time they've been out there. I'm sure you guys
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: have talked about Nate Shepard this season leading the nation
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: in rushing and all-purpose yards. I'm telling you, man, what
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: a player. You watch him play, and his contact balance,
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: his ability to break tackles is really, really impressive. And
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: so for me, that's got to be the focus of
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: Carolina defensively because Duke's not dumb. They're trying to get
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: the ball to Shepard in multiple ways, as any team would.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: And so for Carolina, how do you make sure that
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: if you read the play, if you get a chance
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: to bring him down, how do you make sure you
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: bring him down for four yards instead of 40 yards?
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: And so all the kind of boring football stuff, the fundamentals,
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: the tackling, the leverage, the rallying to the football, I
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: think all of that's going to be really important for
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: the Tar Heels defensively because Shepard is an elite level player.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: and so figuring out a way to minimize him will
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: be important.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so Jones, you're not believing the questionable on the
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: injury report. You feel like rivalry game, he finished at Georgia.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: You feel like you're going to see him on the field, huh?
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: Oh, well, I would assume so. I mean, I do
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: what I believe he did, bang up his ankle a
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: little bit. I'm sure there is some question, but yes,
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: I would expect to see him on the field at Yeah,
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: I think that's probably a fair assumption.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: The bell's on the line. Jones, we have talked about Shepard.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: I've compared him to Ricky Williams twice on the show already.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: Walter Payton, Jim Brown, Gary Sanders.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: It's all wrapped into one.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: On the basketball side, last week's exhibition opener, the debut
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: for Michael Malone, what were your impressions? What impressed you, Jones?
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: My thought was, man, there's a lot of sideline energy
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: there with Michael Malone that I didn't fully notice when
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: he was with Denver.
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean, obviously watching this game, most of this
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: game from the Tar Heel perspective was about Michael Malone, right?
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: Like it was about, you know, how does he manage things?
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: How does he handle the sideline? You know, just all
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: these different things. And so I thought it was a
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: really impressive opener for Carolina against a good team in
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: USC who was down a couple of players, but Carolina
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: was down a player, still don't have Cam Finns. in
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: the post. And so it wasn't perfect on the floor,
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: but gracious, it was early October. You would not expect
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: it to be. And so to see what I was
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: impressed with was how hard Carolina played, was how together
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: the Tar Heels seemed to be, even with, you know,
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: so many new players. And then that defensive effort in
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: the second half, because Carolina didn't start that game very
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: well defensively. And that's been something they've really worked hard
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: on and that Michael Malone has preached. And so to
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: see that then come into fruition a little bit. in
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: the second half and really sparked that really good half
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: for Carolina was impressive. Now, did either of these teams
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: handle it like it was a regular season game? Probably not.
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: The rotations, the minutes, that kind of stuff I'm sure
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: was different. But I think that was part of it
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: for Carolina is to see.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: What you had.
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: And so they'll take another step on that journey on Sunday.
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: We'll be up in Indianapolis tomorrow. to take on with
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: the Tar Heels as they take on the Hoosiers in
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: an exhibition game. But I really enjoyed watching Michael Malone
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: interact with his staff, with the guys, how he handled
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: all that. I thought it was really fun to see.
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: There's no doubt Michael Malone can coach. There's no doubt.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: And so I think that's an exciting prospect for Carolina,
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: not just this year, but moving forward as well.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Jones, I want to commend you and T-Bone in opposite
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: shades of blue this week. You two were two. total
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: professionals during this interview why.
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: Do you think that the phone messed up right there
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: at the beginning guys i was they were really trying
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: to work hard i was saying i'm not talking to
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: t-bone this week but eventually they they wore me.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: Down no we joe did i get along until february
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: then things happen you guys.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Want to make like a victory bell game bet like
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: blue bell ice cream like a gallon of blue bell
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: ice cream or something no why are you trying to
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Why are you trying to divide friends? I don't know.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: I do what he does, Jones. We're getting along fine.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: This is what this guy does.
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: That's right.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: There's always one.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: Jones, it could be worse. This guy's rooting for both
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: teams on Saturday. Yeah, I'm going to be happy for
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: either one of y'all. I want you to know that
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: right now and for all the fans. I'm going to
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: be happy either way, which Bone resents me for. They
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: don't come in on Monday and mock whichever team walks.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: All right, Jones. Enjoy calling the rivalry game, man. Thanks
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: for coming on.
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: Well, assuming the Tar Heels win, I'll talk to you
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: next week. If not, then I'll talk to you in
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: a few weeks.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: Uh-oh.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Uh-oh. Then it's going to get personal. Duke doesn't want to.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: I might not be here. All right, Jones, be good, brother.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: All right, there you go. Talk to you soon. Jones Angel,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: voice of the Heels, Heels and Duke on Saturday. You
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: said it, Two Bone. You know, Pete Nakas of On3
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: said his source says Shepard is questionable. Or day-to-day, it's
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: hard to believe. Like, he still made two huge plays
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: in the receiving game at the end of that game.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: And they would have forced overtime if the backup kicker
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: didn't miss the field goal because of it. It's hard
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: to feel like he will not tape that thing up
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: and give it a go. Now, is he a little
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: less effective? I would wonder about that. That could help
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: the Tar Heels. But I'd be shocked if he ain't playing, man.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: Boiled Peanuts asks, why don't we have Justin Ganey on
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: for a similar segment?
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Well, two things here.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: Number one, Justin Ganey is not the voice of the
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: Tar Heel program here, the football program.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Voice of the Wolfpack. Yeah.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: He's got the voice of Wolfpack sports here. Number two,
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: we have a connection with the Tar Heel Radio Network
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: and Jones Angel. We don't have the Wolfpack games. Why
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: would Justin Ganey? We're not talking to Michael Malone or
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: Belichick every week. He's the voice of the team.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: I will say this. Justin Ganey was on Wes and
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: Walker last week. We did not get Justin Ganey. We
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: got Michael Malone, though. but Justin Ganey was on this show.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: I'd love to talk to Justin Ganey at some point.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: But yes, that feels like that's not an apples and
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: oranges comparison. I do want to mention the game is on.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Our tie-in is at our sister station, WBT, carries the
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Tar Heel Games team. On the Tar Heel Radio Network.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: So that is the tie in there. All right. Interesting. Interesting. Yeah.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: Explain that to him in text form, Boney. Got it, man.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: Let him figure this out. Deer boiled peanuts. I don't
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: want to say that too fast. Don't say it like
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: I do.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: No, no, no.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: I apparently say something else when I try to say
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: that word. You boiled this guy something else. All right.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: I do want to mention this. I want to promote
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: that tomorrow. It should be a fun show. We should
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: be in good spirits. Tomorrow's show is from the Harris
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Cherokee Casino and Resort. We are headed there later today.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: We're going to stay over. We're going to check out
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: the games. They've got a sports bar, sports books. We're
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: going to have a good time watching the games tonight.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: ECU's in action tonight against UAB, in addition to getting
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: to root against Sean Payton tonight in that Seattle and
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: Denver game. We were talking before the show, Bone, and
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: my wife and I were talking about this yesterday. I
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: thought Fitty was going to go, so Fitty was saying, Mac,
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: I'll drive you there. fitty is gonna stay back and
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: produce his show tomorrow he's actually gonna uh fill in
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: on the midday show tomorrow so you're gonna hear him
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: hosting tomorrow noon to three he saw airtime he saw
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: airtime i said mac you on your own baby but
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: my car i don't know if we've described in a
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: while i'm driving my dad's old 2013 uh mitsubishi what
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: the hell is it called it's a mitsubishi What do
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: I even own? I don't even remember what it is.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: The little small SUV that Mitsubishi makes. The hell is
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: that thing called? It's your car. I don't know what
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: it's called. I don't know. I've got a brain fart here,
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: a brain freeze. Anyway, I'm driving this 2013 car that's
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: got tons and tons of miles on it. It has
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: no door handle on the left-hand side and bone. Explain
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: what it sounds like when I start it up. When
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: I sit in the carpool line and wait for my daughter,
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: she says it is horribly embarrassing to walk out while
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: my car's running. Because of the noises it makes.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: You may have to Fred Flintstone this thing up the
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: mountain with your feet. The other day I came out
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: of the building and I heard rumbling and it's like...
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: what sounded like a car just in peril. And it
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: was way.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: Outlander! That's what I own, an Outlander Sport! It was way... Obviously,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: you care deeply.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: It was way far away from me, and I heard
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: Mac's car rattling 100 yards away. 100 yards away. So
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: here's the thing. Got to drive that baby up the mountain.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: I got to take old Black Beauty up the mountain.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: I don't know if she's ready for this.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: And Bone, I believe, before the show, was openly rooting
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: for a scenario where... where my car dies on the trip,
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: and I have to go ask some mountain men for help.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: Boat has a whole scenario. He performs a whole skit. Well,
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: let's pop that hood, and I'm going to guess you
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: ain't from Iran here, are you?
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, God. Is that my future? I got to be honest.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: I'm a little....
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: I'm a little nervous for you on this trip. You
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: can't take the wife's car? I don't know, because she
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: hates driving my car. It's embarrassing to ride in, she says.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's one thing. You're going up the mountain.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: What if your car stalls and you're going back down
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: the mountain?
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Little concern. This is one of the subplots of this
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: trip to Harris Cherokee Casino. All right, so here's what's
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: going to happen. Is Will Black Beauty holed up? What
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: time are you going? Probably leave at like three. I
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: want to try to get there like before the football
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: game starts.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: Because you should go before me. So if I go
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: up there and I see you on the side of
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: the road, I swing by. You just come on by
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: and get me. Because you're right. If you're already there.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: Oh my God, my wife. Does she know she's on
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: call this week? Like she's already lamented the fact that
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: my car might not make it. She certainly hasn't offered
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: her car.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Has she even thought about the fact that that phone
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: could be ringing in the man of her dreams? She'll
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: be coming up the mountain when she comes.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Mr.
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: Sweetens could be in distress. She'll be coming up the
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: mountain when she comes. She might throw you off the mountain. Anyway,
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: this dude says, Mac, they don't pay you well enough
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: to get another car. It doesn't have any payments.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: It's one of those things where it's like, I feel
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: like I'm saving money every month I drive this hoopty.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: But it's, you know... People are asking why.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: It's seen better days. Why we don't carpool. We're in
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: different areas of town. I have to drop Murphy off
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: at the pet spa. I've got a... Tara's going also.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: So I've got a lot going on here, right?
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: This is.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: This is not a carpool day. I believe Phidias set
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: me up in hopes that I get stranded in the mountains.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: I would hope. This dude says they're about to film
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: the Deliverance sequel starring Mac. That is a lovely thought, sir.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: We come back. The great voice. of CBS Sports.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: Ian Eagle will call the Eagles-Panthers game on Sunday with
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: Ross Tucker and Evan Washburn. The Bird, Ian Eagle, previews
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: the game next on Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ, Mack and Bone with you. Remember
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: the podcast, y'all. We've had a fun show today, a
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: lot of Panthers-Eagles talk, college football talk, and as always,
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: some fun, some silliness, some shenanigans, if you will. Check
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: out the hours you miss, the segments you miss in
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: podcast form, WFNZ, Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: All right, our next guest, Bone, we'll be hearing him
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: on Sunday as we're watching Panthers-Eagles.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: This is not the bird involved in the Kelly Clarkson situation, right?
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: This is a different bird? No, no, not that. I'm
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: getting my topic straight here. That is a much more
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: controversial bird. This is Ian Eagle, ladies and gentlemen.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: CBS Sports, nice enough to join us here to preview
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: the Eagles and the Panthers. Ian, how you been, man?
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: What's going on?
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: It's a Bone birthday.
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: Yes, sir. Who knew?
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Oh, no. Amazing.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: What do you have planned?
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: We are doing our show. We have a sponsor, Harrah's
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: Resort Casino. We're going to be doing our show from
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: there tomorrow morning. So I'm going to drop my dog
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: Murphy off at the pet resort. and we're going to
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: drive up the mountain to go to the casino. Now, Ian,
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: the problem here is my man Mac here has a
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: car that we're not sure his car is going to
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: make it all the way up the mountain.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: So that's one of our shows story-wise right now. Like,
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: will Mac.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: We'll end up in some weird mountain town. There's a
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: lot going on here right now.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: I got it.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Have you considered a sponsor through a rental car place?
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: That to me would be maybe using your head a bit.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: A lot of people are suggesting we've got dealership sponsors,
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: we've got rental car avenues. That is true, but I
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: feel like that wouldn't be fun. I feel like it's
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: the challenge bone of trying to take this wounded vehicle
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: and just nurse it there. This is the same.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: Gentleman whose car door handle has been broken for a year,
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: so he has to climb in through the passenger side.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: So I don't know if a new car is in
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: the works here for this guy. I'm a simple man.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: Simple man, Ian.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: You can't work for Bo and Luke Duke on Dukes
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: of Hazzard.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: You're good. Roll those windows down and go Luke Duke style, baby.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: That's what I should do. Luke Duke. How bad would
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: I hurt myself if I tried to do that bone?
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: That would just be the bone show.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: All Ian said was what's on the birthday plate, and
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: he got a lot more than he wanted.
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: That's all I ask.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: Always gets more.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: You went TMI.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: More than you bargained for, once again, with Mack and Bone.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: I'm excited to hear you, Ross Tucker. It feels like
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: you've been a real good mix calling games, and I'm
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: looking forward to hearing you guys. What do you think
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: of the way Bryce Young has played? I mean, this
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: town is extremely excited about the start to the season
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: for him.
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: A reminder, and we all fall victim to it. We
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: form very strong opinions very quickly. on players, on teams,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: and sometimes it does require patience. And with Bryce, it's
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: just been amazing to see him become a dynamic figure.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: The numbers are eye-popping. The plays are completely explosive offensively.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: And there's clearly been a shift. There's a shift in
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: the way that the Panthers are being viewed around the NFL.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: There's a shift in how they're going about their business.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: If they can get to the point where their defense
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: can stop people consistently, this team could be a factor
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: because the offense is fun, the division is winnable, and
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: I have to feel as if Panther faithful hit that
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: bye week feeling as if we got a little something
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: cooking here. It's been really exciting to watch this develop
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: over the last few years. I've called enough Panthers games
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: the last two seasons today to feel as if there
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: was something inside that building. But in the NFL, you
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: just never know. You never know which situation is going
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: to develop in a positive manner, and it's great that
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: the Panthers has, at least in the early going.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: Ian, how much of a schedule advantage for this week
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: do you think it is for the Panthers to be
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: off the bye week? Not only did the Eagles lose
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: in gut-wrenching fashion, but they're coming from England. A little
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: quirky how it worked here. We'd be mad if it
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: was the opposite probably, but how much advantage is that
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: in this game for the Panthers in your view?
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: I think it's a legitimate advantage. The one part of
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: it is desperation. When desperation comes into play, and I
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: think Philadelphia is feeling that a bit. Here's the thing.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Their division is also winnable. So it's not as if
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: somebody is going to just run away with that division
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: in the NFC East. I don't think Philadelphia enters week
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: six feeling like they're out of the mix. They're still
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: very much in the mix. The problem is these injuries
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: are now mounting. Their offensive line doesn't look like anything
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: that they thought it would be when the season started.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley, I'm not sure what's going to happen this week,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: but you're talking about a hamstring issue for one of
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: the best running backs in the NFL. Then his backups
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: have been banged up. Tank Bigsby, Will Shipley, they're leaning
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: now on Damian Pierce. Devontae Smith hasn't played in two games. Obviously, A.J.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Brown now in New England. And that was supposed to
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: be an area where they thought They could have advantages
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: with the rookie Makai Lemon, who's been asked to do more.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: Dontavious Wicks has actually put up decent numbers so far.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: But the struggles for them on offense are real. They
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: are real. And look, Carolina's defense has yet to prove
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: that they can consistently stop people. The week one game
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: probably set the tone for a lot of opinions around
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: the NFL. They've been better since that point. But I
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: think Philadelphia is looking at it as, hey, this is
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: the week to get right.
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: I think desperation is the theme both for Philly and
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: for Mac when his car is on the side of
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: that mountain smoking in a couple hours.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: My car and Philly's O-line are in similar situations.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: Oh, man. Is there an automobile IR that we can
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: look into for this week? Even short-term IR?
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: Oh, my gosh. I love the text we got from
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: one of our texters, Bagel Guy Ian, that says, of
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: all the ads Mac does and sponsors he does shamelessly,
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: you mean to tell me this is the one thing
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: he doesn't have? This is the one product I can't
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: beg for a deal on. Unbelievable. He's got zips and
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: chips and everything, but he can't get a car. I've
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: got everything a homeowner needs covered, but when I go
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: on the road, I've got issues. Oh, my gosh.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: The fact that you do have aluminum siding for the
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: rest of your life is wonderful.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: Those universal windows, baby. I'm telling you, draft-free windows at
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: my disposal, at the ready, baby. All right. Anyway. I,
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: you mentioned something there. You're like, you know, maybe could
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: this be to get right game for Philly? And I
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: think there's a lot of fans that are worried about that.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: The Panthers have this thing where they're just not consistent, right?
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Last year, beat the Packers, beat the Rams. lost twice
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: to the Saints, and we've seen it this year, the
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: Browns game, that they didn't win after a 34-3 win
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: over Atlanta. What do you think about this Panther team?
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: We've been extremely wounded in our own right. Panther's offensive
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: line's been struggling. Do you think they can get to
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: that consistency step this season? Because they were missing that
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: last year, even though they made the playoffs.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt about it. I think the The way
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: it works in the NFL is you can have flashes
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: in the pan just based on scheduling, based on injuries,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: based on having a really good draft class. To sustain
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: success is a completely different animal. Philadelphia has been a
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: franchise that has sustained success. They've had a few iterations
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: of this, yet their philosophy, Howie Roseman, how they draft,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: how they sign free agents, how they develop talent, has
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: stood the test of time. You go into this week
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: and you say, all right, things are falling apart in Philadelphia.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: They certainly have people in their locker room that know
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: what it takes to get right. The problem is they're
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: slowly losing the pillars that were such a big part
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: of that stability, the Lane Johnson retirement. So you compare
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: it to a Carolina. You're trying to develop a culture
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: of winning. You're trying to develop a culture of consistency.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: And I think the signs that you're seeing are they're
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: heading in the right direction. The only concerns that I
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: would have on the Carolina side right now is the
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: secondary and whether or not you can really stop anybody
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: with those two corners. I mentioned what Philadelphia's got. If
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Devontae Smith comes back to play, now you're asking a
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: great deal out of Lee and out of Evans and
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: Maring is a chess piece for them. Smith-Wade is getting
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: more and more time just based on necessity. So that
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: would be the only concern in the short term. Can
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: they weather the storm of those two cornerbacks that are
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: on IR and Can they put together enough wins to
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: not just stay in this race, but maybe be the
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: team to beat in their division?
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: Ian, what was your reaction to the way the Eagles
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: lost last week? You've done games forever, but do you
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: remember calling a game where a team kicks a field
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: goal with eight seconds to go and still loses the game?
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: No, I've certainly never done a game like that. I
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: thought last week it is crazy with the NFL because
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: You guys have been following the league for so long.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: I've been involved broadcasting the league for so long. Every
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: time you think you've seen everything, something happens where you say, man,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: never seen that.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: That's never happened before.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: So the wackiness of the Giants and the Commanders game,
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: how that game came to an end, the Buffalo Rams
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: game was wild down the stretch, and the fact that
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: Buffalo won that game still is mind-boggling. But yeah, I
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: think Philadelphia Jacksonville takes the cake, just how it happened,
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: the circumstances in how it happened. And look, you can
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: lock in on the final seconds because that's what we'll
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: mostly do. But if you really look at the sequence
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: of plays that Philadelphia had prior to that, it did
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: raise some eyebrows as to how they handled the clock.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: The clock management thing has become such a strong story
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: in the NFL because We recognize the margins are so slim.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: You play 17 of these things. and if you don't
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: take care of business and are not buttoned up and
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: lose a game here lose a game there based on
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: these scenarios and situations this can cost people jobs this
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: changes lives so I I think on the Philadelphia side,
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: anytime they've had some adversity in the past, they've handled it,
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: and they usually bounce back. The question is, can you
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: keep going back to the well? And I think that's
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: why the head coach is getting a lot of scrutiny
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: leading up to this one.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: Texter says Ian's his favorite guest on the show because
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: Ian does the best job of pretending to enjoy being
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: on the show.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: That is true. Most people just tell us the truth.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: That is true. He has us convinced he likes us, man.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: No other guest even tries, Ian.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: Everyone thinks, oh, he's a great play-by-play guy. No, he's
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: an elite actor.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: Ha, ha, ha, ha. Oh, so Bone, before we say
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: bye to Ian, who gets to do the joke that
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: we both thought of separately? Oh, no, I would never.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: This is not. You want to disassociate yourself with this joke? Yeah,
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: I thought about it. You said it on the air. Okay,
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: you just had thought about it, then thought better. This
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: is really going to blow his socks off. Yeah, this
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: will be the hang up right here on this one.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: I've got to send Ian my college basketball preview magazine. Ian,
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: I was expressing the concern that me and my fellow
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: Panther fans have about Can you be biased or can
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: you be non-biased in a game involving the Eagles?
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: I know. I know. It's a huge concern.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: He's not impressed.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: They're distant cousins on my father's side. It's not something
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: I like to talk about publicly, but now that you've
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: uncovered it, I can't. I can't. I'm in the bag.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: That's what I thought.
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: Well, we don't have a broadcaster named Panther, so this
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: is what we have.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: To work with.
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: Iron Panther.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: Iron Panther. Hi, everybody.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: Maybe for the second half, you're Iron Panther. I mean,
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: maybe do that for the second half. You know what?
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Let's make it Ian Panther.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: Okay, there you go. We also have somebody that wants
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: to know what it was like for Ian to work
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: with Luke Keekly in the season opener on Netflix. Is
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: this happening constantly? That was your son, Noah. Is that
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: happening all the time now?
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: It is actually happening all the time. But the best
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: thing that happened was a fellow NBA broadcaster said, two
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: years ago came up to me prior to the game
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: and said, Hey, I saw your brother the other day.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: Oh no. I'm going to be offended in there and
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: it's not going to be me.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: Hey, that guy made your day. Oh, that is amazing.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: That is a good one.
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: One of my favorite parts of March madness last year
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: was when, uh, You said you were sharing a room
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: with Noah, and people believed you on the broadcast.
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: People believed me.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: I started getting texts from people like, man, that's amazing.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: You and Noah shared a room. Yeah, yeah, we slept
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: head to toe.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: Isn't that crazy? I love it. I love it. You're
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: the best. Ian's a big-time talent man, but he's down
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: to earth, and you can tell he's got a great
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: sense of humor. He even made something out of my
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: hideous joke I just told to him right there. We're
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: going to text about that real quick. You're going to
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: apologize to him. All right, brother, be good, and we'll
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: be listening. We're looking forward to hearing you guys, man. Thanks,
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: as always.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: I just got word. Don Henley was offended by your joke.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: All right. All right.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, be good, man. All right. There you go.
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: He's like the only guest with class that can somehow
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: reduce himself to our silly level. He does it well.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: He enjoys it. He does, I think. When we come back,
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: we're going to do the wrap up.
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: Get you set for a pretty busy day in sports,
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: including the ALCS moved up to one o'clock today. Also,
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: I have an update, Mac, on something we talked about
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: earlier today. The Troy Aikman. Joe Buck situation. Uh-oh. We
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: don't exactly have a denial of a rift from Troy
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: Aikman today. Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: Really nice build from Columbus down the right side.
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: A steal by Toclamati from Marrera. Toclamati has it the
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: left side. Edon into the area with a shot. He scores!
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: Edon Toclamati with an amazing individual play to steal it
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: away from Steve Marrera and stand still Patrick Schulte. The
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: crowd in the lead in Columbus, 17 minutes in.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: All because of Charlotte's number nine. Oh, man, I was
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: fired up when I saw that one. That's an individual
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: effort by Toklamati, who, to your point earlier, continues to
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: just score goals and be on fire. Five minutes later. Yeah,
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: the problem was the game had to continue. And, I mean,
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: we were dominated, all honesty, after that. I mean, we
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: were lucky it was only 3-1, the way they hit
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: Kalina with a barrage of shots. Kalina was amazing. But
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: they lose to Columbus afterwards, and the P-Man will be
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: back on, baby. No time to weep for the P-Man.
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: He'll be back on the air hosting Charlotte Sports Today,
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: top of the hour, getting after it.
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, disappointing to say the least, Matt. Not just that
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: they lost to a team that's down, but just two
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: giveaways by the midfielders, another goal that was a pretty
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: basic goal across the middle. From where they were from
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: that goal to where it finished was just a very
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: disappointing result. That midfield got overrun, like I hate to
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: say it. Bronico and Westy, both were just simple giveaways.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the giveaways, and then not getting back in transition,
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: just getting run past, like They've signed Abdoulaye Dekore, former
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: Everton stud. Toffee Fitty knows all about him over there,
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: a big Everton fan that he is. And he, I think,
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: can give you a little more, you know, athleticism. I
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: know he's 33, but a little more athleticism and strength
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: and pace. In the midfield, I think he could be
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: good next to Westy. But we've probably still got maybe
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: a couple weeks until he gets his visa sorted out.
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: But that was not good. And the game they play Saturday, Bone,
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: is freaking huge because Philadelphia is now a point behind
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: us for fifth. Like, we're trying to get up to
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: fourth and third and host a playoff series. We lose
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: on Saturday. Philly's the hottest team in the league. We
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: lose that game, Bone. We're down to sixth. That game
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: at Philly? At Philly.
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: Because they text or Kobe B pointed out we've got–
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: FC at Philly, Panthers at Philly, Charlotte at Temple.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: Oh, I forgot about Charlotte. You could go do that.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: Is anybody doing the trio? Is anybody doing the Philly-Charlotte
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: trio of sporting events? Oh, shoot. That's kind of cool.
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: Can we go 3-0? What would our record be in
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: those three? Well, how do I say this? Can we
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: go to one? I'm sorry, Charlotte. I'm sorry, y'all. I'm
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: pulling for y'all. But damn, y'all. My God. But anyway, yeah,
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: two and one. I don't know.
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: I mean, they're only 21-point underdogs. I say only because
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: they've been a lot worse underdogs.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know. The Panthers are favored as of now, though, right?
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: That line shifted three whole points from Eagles by one
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: and a half to Panthers by one and a half.
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: The other two were not going to be favored. FC's
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: not going to be favored the way that Philly's playing today.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: tonight in sports we had a bunch of cool stuff
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: tonight to watch bone when we're at the harrah's um
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: uh casino resort and spa and ecu's on also he's
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: oh my god no i'm saying they're on i said
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: a bunch of cool stuff to watch and then you
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: said an ecu's on us.
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: Oh i didn't mean to do that wasn't like and
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: the way that sounded is like there are five and
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: a half point favorites in that game i'm wondering if
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: i may have to go up to the uh the
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: old sports book and uh Put someone on UAB.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. Five and a half on the
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: road for ECU? I don't know, man.
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: You think it's going to be tight? I think ECU
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: might win, but field goal maybe, to your point? 80%
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: of the money's on the spread for UAB.
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: Okay, interesting. So you've got that game tonight. We've got Seahawks,
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: Broncos tonight. We'll see. Sean Payton took over the play calling.
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: We'll see if that makes a difference. Seattle's going to
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: be pissed about the way they lost that Niner game.
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: So that'll be an interesting one. Then, of course, you
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: have the two baseball games. The Cleveland... Tampa game got
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: moved up to 1 o'clock. Dodgers fighting for their life tonight.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: Win or go home against Milwaukee tonight at 8 o'clock.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: So a ton of sports stuff, man. Good time to
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: be right there at the sports bar and the sports
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: book and all that cool stuff.
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: We have an update on the Troy Aikman, ESPN, Joe
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: Buck situation that we talked about. Because remember, front office
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: sports had that report of an argument between Aikman and
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: Buck over, you know, Buck signed the $ 100 million deal.
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: Aikman has not. Is there tension there between the two?
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: Here's what Troy Aikman said this morning, Mac. Here's the
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: quote when asked about it with his appearance during his
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: appearance on the ticket. down there in Dallas, Fort Worth. Quote,
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: there's probably a time and a place for all that.
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: I don't know if now is the time. I don't
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: know if it's hard to figure out kind of what happened.
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: I'll broadcast through this. I don't know if it's hard
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: to figure out kind of what happened.
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: That's how it's worded.
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: I'll broadcast through this season, and I'll be a free
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: agent at the end of the year and kind of
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: see what happens. I'm looking forward to whatever the rest
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: of the season does hold for me and the Super
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: Bowl and all that and where my next landing spot
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: might be.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: Oh, geez, yeah. He didn't exactly say we're good to go. Oh, no,
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: not at all. Not at all. Yeah, it sounds like
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: he said it out. Stifler texted us and said, Joe
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: Buck be blasting McAfee's album Full Blast during commercial breaks.
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: Is that when the fight's over? I got my new
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: partner picked out. You might be a no about him. Anyway,
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: all right, let's read. some of these texts here, see
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: what we got going on. 704-5709-610 on the WFNZ text line,
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: powered by affordable siding and windows. Fitty, there's a theory
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: about you not going to Harrah's with us.
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: That he's bad because he ate so much food last time. No.
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: That's a good theory.
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: He changed our food comps. They cut the food comp
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: in half because Finney went hog wild on $ 100 value.
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. But here's the theory. M-Dog says Finney's
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: girlfriend won't let him go. Another texter, 704 number. Finney's
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: girlfriend doesn't trust him away on a road trip filled
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: with temptation.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: Wrong and wrong.
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: This dude said, how on earth did Mac get the
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: clearance from Mrs.
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: Mac?
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: There's no way she wants him betting on anything. She
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: got a free night. She gave me that look. Yeah,
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: I'm not there, so that's probably why. She gave me
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: that kind of look like, don't really gamble. You're not
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: really going to gamble, are you? We got a texter
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: that says Mac going to take that seven cents from
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: his FanDuel account, turn it to $ 11 at Harrah's, baby.
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: No one, Willie, no.
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: One can go on a trip like Mac. He's got
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: a car that's in jeopardy and seven cents at his
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: gambling account. Yeah, no gambling balance. But I'm going to
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: have a $ 50 food credit, though, baby. Willie, can we
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: also borrow your car today? Mac might need that if
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: you don't mind.
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: Here's the thing.
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: The reason why Fitty is not going with y'all to Mac's,
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: to Harrah's Drinking Casino is that The.
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: One thing that he absolutely positively cannot turn down, that's airtime.
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: Willie is right. Is that what happened? Fit tried to
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: present the story like, Colin, boss man needed me to
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: do the midday show. Was this just you seeing an opportunity, Fitty,
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: and you're like, airtime over Mac and Bone? Is that
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: what happened?
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: No.
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: Why would I not want to go with y'all to Harrah's?
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: A night away.
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: Three-hour show. Three hours, too. Three hours in the middle.
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: Three hours and no one's around. You can take off
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: your shoes and kick back a little bit tomorrow. He
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: knows Flandre won't interrupt him, so, I mean.
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: Well, that's not true. Okay. Okay.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: I don't know. We're just trying to figure out, Fitty,
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: why you left us stranded here. Let's see. Let's read
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: some more of these.
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: You're just mad because now you've got to drive your
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: piece of crap up that mountain. Whoa!
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: And you don't think it's going to make it. After
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: I offered to drive your ass. I got it. You
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: know what? Me and Black Beauty are going to shut
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: up the doubters, baby. We're going to write up that
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: mountain in style. I have a suggestion.
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: What's that?
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: Don't bring the cup that you usually put to the
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: side there.
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: Oh, you don't think?
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: Don't use the cup with the mountain, please. That might
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: result in something fatal for you.
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: Willie, my fear is on my GPS, it's going to
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: say car head on side of the road. I'm going
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: to say, what's going on over here? Object on the road.
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: It's Matt just sitting there. Matt's car is going to
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: back up the whole mountain.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 42:20
  Speaker 4: Oh, my God.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: We got this, baby. High grade. We got this. Let's
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: see here. Mac going to have to hunt for his
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: own food when he's stranded in the mountains. Does Phitty
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: have a bow and arrow?
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: Someone just said to Seth, before your trail started, an
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: axle fell off the wagon.
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: Let's see. Isn't there a Gordon Ramsay restaurant over there?
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: There is. There's a whole like a Gordon Ramsay food
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: court up there.
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: That's where me and Bailey racked up. So many cool
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: restaurants and bars in this spot, man. Guy Fieri's got
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: a restaurant. I wish we had $ 100 to use there.
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: We got $ 50, baby. We got $ 50, but not the
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: full $ 100.
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: This is when you go put $ 100 on block and
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: get the rest of your dinner paid for. Oh, man.
• 42:56
