  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ. Mack and Bone with you. We're
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: going to talk to a familiar radio friend coming up
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: at 925. Nick Wilson now killing things on Cleveland Radio
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: in the afternoons back in his hometown. Yes, he will
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: be discussing Bone whether fans should boot Deshaun Watson on Sunday.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: He's going to talk about that and more with us.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Um, as we talk about this week's enemy, the Cleveland Browns,
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: that's coming up at nine 25, but you hear the music.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: The music is playing for Jones angel voice of the
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Tar Heels. They're off this week before the big Notre
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Dame game. They played a game that man is a
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: bummer from a Tar Heel standpoint, uh, as they couldn't
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: finish the deal against Clemson last week.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: Let's talk about it.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Let's look ahead a little bit to Notre Dame with
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Jones angel voice of the heels heels Jones.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: Thanks for coming on with us, man. During a bye week.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: How you doing?
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: Oh, doing great. Good to be with you guys. And yeah,
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: frustrating game. I think Carolina felt like it played well
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: enough for a large part of that game to win it.
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: I mean, Carolina really controlled things early in that contest,
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: for sure, leading 17 to three late in the first half.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: But then, yeah, to Clemson's credit, Tigers started coming back
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: and playing better. And Carolina, I felt like, you know,
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: got a little conservative and Clemson for sure started pressuring
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: the Tar Heels.
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: A little bit more.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: And then, man, that lightning delay, guys, you know, that'll
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: be a big what if, I think, for Carolina. Two
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: and a half hours, you know, that game got paused
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: with the Tar Heels looking at a second and goal
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: from the seven-yard line with eight minutes and 11 seconds left,
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: leading by two at the time. And, yeah, sit there
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: for a while, eventually get back in it. kick a
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: field goal, unfortunately. And then from that point forward, Clemson
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: really dominated those final eight minutes or so after the break.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: And so there are a lot of what-ifs, I think,
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: for the Tar Heels. A lot of things that they
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: saw that they'll need to improve on. And a long
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: way to go, certainly, this season for Carolina.
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: Outside the lightning delay, Jones, what changed within the game
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: that what was Clemson doing differently that allowed them to
• 2:22
  Speaker 6: eventually take the game over?
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought defensively for Clemson, they really started bringing
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: a little more pressure and just manning Carolina off defensively,
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: trying to say, hey, you guys get open. And I
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: think Carolina has got to find some playmakers out there
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: on the edge. And Jordan Schiff's a really good player
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: and an all-ACC type of receiver, but he's got to
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: have some assistance out there. It can't be just him.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: And so, yeah, I think Carolina's got to find some
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: guys who can get away from that on the perimeter
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: because other teams are going to try and do that. Now,
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: Clemson also has some really good players in the secondary.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: I think that's one of their strengths.
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: So they were just.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: Manning up and bringing pressure, in my opinion. And then, yeah,
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: Carolina defensively, I thought, again, coming out of that lightning delay,
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: and who's to say why or how or the right
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: way to manage it? Yeah, I don't know. But Carolina
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: did not look like the same defense post-lightning delay than
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: it had for the first two and three-quarters games of
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: the season. Yeah, just missing tackles, bad angles, just stuff
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: that Carolina had not been doing. And so I think
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: that really hurt them defensively, just overall play after that
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: delay was over.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Now, Jones, I don't want to get you involved in
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: the conspiracy theories. I will leave that for our Tar
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Heel friends on the text line.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: And TikTok. Those that pointed out.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Hey, we had a good 45 minutes before the weather
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: really hit or whatever before I saw any lightning. So
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: we'll leave that on the text line and you can
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: feel free to text that in if you're a Tar
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Heel fan.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: But I do want to follow up on your comment there. Like,
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: do you almost.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, if they were able to finish that game
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: and there was only six minutes left, I think that's
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: what Tar Heel fans are so annoyed by. It's like,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: could we have gotten that in? Do you feel like
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: the outcome might have been different? Because they're driving. It
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: felt like they were kind of pulling the momentum back
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: from Clemson. Do you think the Heels might have wanted it,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: if not for the delay?
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: Sure.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, it's a big what if, right? I mean,
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: I do think Carolina absolutely had momentum. I think Clemson
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: was a little tired defensively. The Tar Heels were really
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: running the ball well in particular. As Carolina really did
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: that entire game, really running the ball well on that
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: drive and did have the offensive momentum again. After, again,
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: Carolina really played well in every phase of the game
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: through the first two quarters. And so it was definitely, yeah,
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: it'll be a what if. I think it's easy to say, oh,
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: of course they would have won. Obviously, we don't know.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: I will say, you know, that my understanding for kind
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: of how the weather played out is that there was
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: a smaller cell that hit the automated alert.
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: So if there's a lightning strike within the eight miles,
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: it's not somebody's judgment call. There's an automated thing that
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: tells you, hey, this has occurred within this this radius.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: because then the game went into that pause due to
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: the smaller piece of weather that never did affect the
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: stadium at all, then that allowed a much larger piece
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: of weather to come through, which did affect the stadium,
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: both with heavy rain and some storm and stuff that
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: you wouldn't necessarily want to have tens of thousands of
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: fans and players and coaches involved out in the open with.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: I do think, as it all turned out, it was
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: a little frustrating with the weather. But I do think
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: everybody was just following the protocol that has been set.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: What do you think of Billy Edwards' performance so far
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: at quarterback?
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he wasn't very good on Saturday, and I think
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: Billy would be the first one to tell you that.
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: He wasn't as accurate as he has been. I think, again,
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: some of those windows to throw in were a little
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: tighter than they had been because of Clemson doing a
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: good job defensively. And where I do think, regardless of
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: what is happening, that that Billy Edwards can improve. I
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: really thought he looked unsettled in the pocket in the
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: third and fourth quarters in particular of that game. And
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: it was as if he had been hit a ton.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: I didn't think he was getting hit a ton. Clemson
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: was bringing a lot of pressure. I thought Carolina did
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: a decent job of picking that pressure up. It was
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: a kind of a messy pocket and there were people around,
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: but I didn't necessarily think it wasn't as though he
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: was just getting rocked every, every play or something. But
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: it looked like just that presence of that pressure and
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: some of that messy pocket and just the bodies around
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: him was got his feet a little unsettled. And when
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: that happens and you're, you're less accurate, et cetera.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I thought I saw the same thing.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: I thought there was happy feet too, at times Jones,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: where do you get that little pitter patter?
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: And it's like, Oh, absolutely. So let me ask you again.
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: Go ahead.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: Go ahead.
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: I'll just say quickly, you know, first time Billy's played,
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: obviously didn't play at all last season because of the injury.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: He played the first two games. but I think this
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: is the most heat that he had seen. And I
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: think you saw a guy hadn't played in a year
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: or so with that amount of heat in that stretch.
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: Definitely.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: And in fairness, your first comments about, Hey, and maybe
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: it'll get CJ Sadler back here and he can help.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: But like your point about needing more weapons to, to
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: step up, that needs to be thrown in here. I just, we'll,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: we'll end it on this real quick. Do you think
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: they could go to O'Neill? Do you think, I know
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: some Tar Heel fans have been mentioning Burgess, the freshman. Like,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: do you think they would pull the trigger or do
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: you think we're a ways off from that still?
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: Like, what's your gut say?
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: I think Carolina feels like both Miles O'Neal and Billy
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: Edwards are capable of playing at the Division I level
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: right now. I know that they had thought that there
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: was going to be some more opportunity and maybe even
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: sometimes in that TCU game that they were going to
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: get O'Neal in the game, and just the game didn't
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: play out that way. It didn't make sense to do it. Um,
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: so I, that is to say, I don't know if
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: they'll pull that trigger. Notre Dame feels like a tough
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: opponent to, uh, to all of a sudden go to
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: a much younger quarterback with, um, I do think Travis
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: Burgess also is going to be very heavily involved long
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: run and possibly this year. at that spot because of
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: his talent level. I think the way this season continues
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: to play out may dictate some of those decisions as
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: they move along.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: It'll be interesting to see. Bye week this week, Notre
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Dame next week. That will be a national spotlight game
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: for them, no doubt about it. All right, Jones, thanks
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: for joining us on your bye week, man. I realize
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: most people, when they get a week off from their job,
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: would not want to talk to us.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: So I do appreciate it, brother. Appreciate it. And love your.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: Thursday, guys. We'll talk to you again next week.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: There we go.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Even if he's lying, I like hearing that. Coach speak
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: from Jones. Have a good bye week, brother. We'll talk
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: to you. Let Jones speak. Yeah, there's a good chance
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: he does something on Thursdays that might be better than this.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: I think you're right. I think you might have snuffed
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: them out there on that one, Bonesy. So Carolina, no game.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Clemson will try to make it three in a row
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: for little old Clemson. They cannot take the rest of
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: y'all bus. They got to take the rest of y'all plane, Bone,
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: all the way out to Berkeley, California.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, not easy. Tomorrow night at 1030.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Here's my question to you guys on tomorrow night's Clemson game.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: Go get them, Tiger. That gets me.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Do y'all, and I think Clemson, well, I guess I
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: could ask Clemson fans, too. Like, are y'all staying up
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: for this full game? Like, if you're a Clemson fan,
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: are you up until 2 in the morning watching this game?
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Because for me, Bone, this might be, knowing how those
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: IPAs hit me on a Friday, this could be a 100%.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Saturday morning on the DVR game for me. Like, I
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: may not even get the first quarter in. How will
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: y'all watch this game? And do you think Clemson, like,
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: I could see if Clemson was in the Dabo heyday
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Or they're like the best team in the country staying
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: up to 2 o'clock? Do Clemson fans even stay up
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: to 2 o'clock? Or do they say, I'll catch this
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: in the morning?
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: There's only so many games, so some are going to
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: want to watch it live and some may not.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: Can I have an honest moment of how I'll handle this?
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: If I feel like Clemson may lose the game when
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: it starts, I may say, you know what, I need
• 10:30
  Speaker 6: to stick around here for this one. If Clemson starts
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: winning and it looks like they're going to win, I
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: may say, I'm going to bed.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: But if there's a chance for me to watch Clemson
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: lose it, I've got to take.
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: Advantage of this. That's worth staying up for. Put a
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: pot of coffee on if Clemson's losing the game. That
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: 10-30 start, though, does cut into my dateline a little bit,
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: so I'm going to have to balance that out there.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: See, it works out okay for me because we do
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: the Netflix and chill thing, my wife and I.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: Or Netflix. But it's really, like, it's not the, you
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: know what I mean?
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: It's like, actually, we're watching Netflix and just sitting on
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: the couch with two dogs in between us. It's not
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: what y'all think it is. But after that, then the
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: game's on. The problem is I get sleepy, man. Early
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: morning rising, IPAs, collision course.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean? That gets me.
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: Indiana Northwestern also tomorrow night. Any chance there of Indiana
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: getting pushed by Northwestern?
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Northwestern did just win by 34 over Prime, Coach Prime.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: But I have a feeling this is slightly different, Coach Sig.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: That game's in Bloomington.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: That game will be over.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: Indiana never plays road games.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Every time I watch Indiana play, they're playing at home
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: and they're up by 30.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: And it annoys the crap out of me.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: 12 home games, all blowouts. That's their schedule. I'm telling you,
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: they're still not being talked about enough. I realize they
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: haven't played anybody yet. They've played a Penn State schedule
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: early in the season where both teams don't play squat
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: diddly in the non-conference. Big Cat Dan, he's a Tiger fan,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: absolutely staying up to watch.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: Your team is playing. You watch.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Should be a good game. Go Tigers. Picante, he of
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: Picante's picks fame. He did have a down week this
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: week at 1-2. But we can't quit him. We're going
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: to bring him back, Bone. He deserves a mulligan. He
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: says Cal wins by at least 12.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: Easy, he says. Easy. Cal by 12.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Every time I doubt Picante, he ends up being right.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Is Cal great? The quarterback's a stud. But Clemson's run
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: defense has been horrible, and Cal hasn't run it.
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: A ton.
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: The only advantage outside a quarterback, I think, would be
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: the traveling on a Friday, going out there, and they're
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: coming off the emotional home win of Dabo holding court
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: on the field. And we're talking about like emotional games
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: after the emotional games.
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: Are they feeling it? Are they ready? We don't know
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: until we see it. So I don't know by 12, though.
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: 12 seems like a stretch there, Pacano.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: It's going to come down to how their O-line plays, too.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Their run defense, but then their O-line. Like, I thought
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: they did play better against the Tar Heels. But it's like,
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Tar Heels got to get Melkart back, too, by the way.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, Xavier Lewis is ridiculous. And Harvey's good, but
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: they need to get Abu Dhabi back. But as far
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: as Clemson goes, will their O-line string two pretty good
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: games together?
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: Can they run it like they did against the Heels?
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: They need to.
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: When we come back, Big Daddy is back, Mackers. Nick Wilson,
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: former host for WFNZ, now back home in Cleveland. He
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: gives us the intel on the Browns, what to watch for,
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: the vibe around Deshaun Watson, and his thoughts on what
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: we're doing here as well as a football team radio show.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: Big Daddy's next. Nick Wilson, Sports Radio, 92.7 WFNZ.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ. Remember the podcast, kiddos. Remember the podcast.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: It doesn't just have to be live listening. You can
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: go wherever you get your podcasts or WFNZ.com. Listen to
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: the segments you miss. Finney had a doozy in the,
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: what hour was that? At the end of the 7
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: o'clock hour, Bo?
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: Gotta be honest.
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: First of all, it's the only thing that shut up
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: Mac and I for eight seconds combined ever. Maybe the
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: oddest comment ever said on this radio station. And Nick
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: Wilson roamed these planes so well.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: I know. That's saying something, isn't it? Oh, Fitty. Yeah,
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: Fitty suggested we do an HR violation. I'm pretty sure.
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: Sit in a room naked and surprise people when they
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: walk in.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: All right. Here he is, man.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: The man we affectionately to this day still call Big Daddy.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: And I don't care if you tell us out there
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: in listener land that we should not call another grown
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: man Big Daddy. He will always be Big Daddy to us.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: He's killing it on the airwaves up there in Cleveland.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: And we've got to talk Browns. We also got to
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: catch up with him as well back in his hometown.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: We're talking about Nick Wilson, who returns to the WFNZ airwaves.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: Nick, what's going on, brother? How you doing, man?
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: Mac and bone big daddy has returned. And I got
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: to tell you, you got me fully torqued here. I
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: heard Kyle Bailey, Chris McLean, football preview and twin peak
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: eight hour drive, but I don't know if I can
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: do it completely aroused the entire time. But I think,
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: I think I got to try it.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: Oh, my gosh. And the thing. And you should bring
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: Hacksaw and put him in a Twin Peaks outfit. Oh,
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: there you go. That's a combo.
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: Hey, he's down to 240 pounds. He would wear that
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: thing out.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: Lean, mean fight machine now, baby. How about Aki? All right.
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: He can play linebacker now. By the way, Nick, when
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: you moved away, you forgot something here. You forgot Fitty.
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: He's still here waiting for you to pick him up.
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: No, see, the thing is, Philly is my deep state plant.
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: As you might have guessed when he announced or he
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: suggested the idea of laying naked in a room and
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: waiting for people to prey upon him, that's all the
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: Nick Wilson influence on sports radio WFNZ.
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: That's true.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Finney was messed up enough before he worked with you.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: And now look at him. You took him to another level. Oh,
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: my God.
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: So let's talk a little bit about the Browns. Y'all
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: get that big win against Tampa. We love seeing that
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: last week. But I think everybody's saying, man, we didn't
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: expect the Browns to do that. It looks like Watson
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: played pretty good. Like how was like was that a
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: good performance last week? And is there optimism in Cleveland
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: or is that too.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: Strong a word?
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: No, optimism is the right word. It's actually been really funny.
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: I've spent really like nine months telling everybody, hey, I
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: don't know this Deshaun thing's a great idea. And I
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: have received no pushback at any point in the full
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: nine months. And the amount of Watson warriors that popped
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: their head up on Monday, you would have thought it
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: was half of Cleveland. People calling into the show and
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: being like, I told you about Deshaun. I've been here
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: five hours a day. You never, you know, I don't
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: even know. You'd like, I've never even heard your name before, bro.
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: But there is optimism. And I think some of the
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: reason why is that Tampa game is a bad matchup
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: for Deshaun. They blitz a lot. They're stout against the run.
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: Obviously Vita Vea makes it a nightmare up the middle.
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: And yet, across four quarters, certainly in the second half,
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: Deshaun got comfortable. And the truth is, he's still delivering
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: the ball close to the line of scrimmage that he'd love.
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: The Browns' offense still isn't running the way they need
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: to over the course of the next couple months here. But...
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: we were basically Todd Munkin put them on the table
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: with this Deshaun move. Like the Browns organization had kind
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: of subtly told him, Hey, it might not be the
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: most popular move. Don't maybe, you know, maybe go with
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: the more popular move, the safer pick and Todd Munkin
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: really believed in Deshaun Watson. So it was crucially important
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: for Todd Munkin that Deshaun had a good game last week.
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: And it was crucially important for Deshaun. Because I don't think,
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: I think given the reports around this last weekend, if
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: Deshaun had put another stinker up there and they had
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: lost to Tampa Bay, Shador Sanders would be starting this Sunday.
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: And it wouldn't even be, I think, debatable for where
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: things were going, if not for that second half performance
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: against the Bucs.
• 18:21
  Speaker 6: Nick, of the things that the Browns did well enough
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: to win last week on the road, what do you
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: think can carry over that they can also do well
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: against the Panthers on Sunday?
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: So I think the number one thing they can do
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: is continue to protect the football, but getting your playmakers.
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: This offense is set up for the playmakers to do
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: the heavy lifting and not the quarterback. So I think
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: if you look at some of the opportunities here, I
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: think whether it's Concepcion or Boston, getting them either in
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: the intermediate or just past the sticks, the ball, Harold
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: Fannin Jr., and letting them kind of turn a 10-yard
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: play into a 20-yard play or a 25-yard play, Like
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: this team is incredible for yards after catch. Even if
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: you're a good tackling team, this team's really good for
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: yards after the catch. Defensively, I mean, I think they, listen,
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: week one, I don't know how much you guys know this.
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: The Browns have two of the best man corners in
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: football in Denzel Ward and Tyson Campbell. And inexplicably, new
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: defensive coordinator, we call him Rudy, Mike Rutenberg, ran 67%
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: zone in week one. That's just stupid. So week two,
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: they ran about 63% man. So they can continue that
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: because as much as I might be a Jalen Coker cokehead,
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: as much as I might love Ted McMillan, I don't
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: think Carolina has a Parker Washington type player that gave
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: the Browns defense fit. So I think you do those
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: two things. I think you've got a chance to keep
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: this really interesting on Sunday.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's one of the storylines, is Bryce and the
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: offense have faced only 18% man. He's been killing zone
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: in the first two weeks, and you know we're getting
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: that man on Sunday. So that's going to be an
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: interesting thing. The follow-up on Deshaun, like, I know he
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: made the comment yesterday, you know, just once, it doesn't
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: want to go to war with the fans, but back
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: into preseason, he made those comments that I know you
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: all probably, you know, talked about for days. Do you
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: get the feeling, I wouldn't mind if Deshaun messed up
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: early and they got on him and started booing. Like,
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: do you think they'll jump on him or do you
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: think he's gotten some grace with last week's win?
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: This is probably the biggest question of this week. And
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: in fairness, I thought Deshaun handled his press conference yesterday
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: as well as he can. I think there are still
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: some sore feelings from him, from how he feels about
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: Browns fans. And I think there are some sore feelings
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: from Browns fans about him. But that win on Sunday,
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: and again, with a good Deshaun performance, it paused for
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: a lot of people. So I do expect there's still
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: going to be some boost for Deshaun as he runs
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: out of the tunnel. Beyond that, I think it's going
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: to be up to Deshaun. If the first thing he
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: does is a big whoopsie, yeah, I think he's going
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: to hear some boos. If the first thing he does
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: is a touchdown, that'll continue to buy him time and
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: grace with Browns fans. But yeah, I mean, it's been
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: funny with the Deshaun experience because Deshaun really thinks he's
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: a victim in a lot of this experience. And Browns
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: fans certainly feel victimized by the Deshaun experience. So the
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: best thing to happen for everyone involved is that the
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: Browns did win on Sunday against Tampa Bay because had
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: the Browns come out of that Tampa Bay game, Oh,
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: and two were too bad to Sean performances. Had they,
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: had they tried to, to play Deshaun in this home
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: opener at Oh, and two, it would have been, it
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: would have been really embarrassing for everyone involved.
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: Nick, Colin Cowherd on our side here, uh, has Bryce
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: Young being compared in some ways to Josh Allen. Chris
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: Wong has Bryce Young as a hybrid of Joe Montana
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: and Drew Brees. Which one of those makes more sense
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: to you of who Bryce Young now is?
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: Oh, well, it's gotta be the last one. Josh, I mean,
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: maybe Bryce Young is like one half of Josh Allen physically.
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: So I feel like that's unfair to our guy Bryce, right?
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: What do you think so far? Are you, are you
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: thinking that he's, he's landed? Like this is obviously it's
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: the stats are going to plateau out a little bit
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: more than they are now, but do you think that
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: Bryce has now arrived to be that guy?
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: I think he's on the precipice of it. I don't
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: know it's going to look like it has the first
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: two weeks, but I love the idea that the Panthers
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: are getting him to push the ball down the field more. Basically,
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: to me, that's trust. So when Bryce is trusting his
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: teammates and he's trusting himself and the system, that can
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: only lead to another step forward. I think we all
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: overly criticized Bryce last year because that's what you do
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: when you watch a guy every single week. There is
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: paralysis by overanalysis. But I like the idea that he's
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: taken a step forward this year. And I think, you know,
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: I really– I think given the way quarterback contracts work now–
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: It's not where like the Browns were with Baker five
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: years ago, where it's like, well, he's not worth 50
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: million a year. And then you realize, oh, hell, everyone's
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: going to get paid 50 million a year within the
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: next five years. Like, I think, I think as long
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: as Bryce can keep up something that rhymes with the
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: way he's looked the first two weeks, man, I think
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: you've got a chance to really win some games. And
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: the truth is, I think we're seeing this with Darnold,
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: who clearly we had our bout with and Baker, like,
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: you know, it's really hard to make the best decision
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: about a quarterback the first four or five years in
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: the NFL because so few guys are Mahomes early or
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: Josh Allen early. And even Josh, that first year was
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: not any good, right? Like sometimes like these, so many
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: of these quarterbacks just take time. And I love that
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: the Panthers have learned patience under Canalis and have given
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: Bryce the time. And I, that my only word of
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: warning is it's not going to be linear, right? There
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: are going to be some games that it feels like, oh,
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: that's the old Bryce, and that has to be okay.
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: Because I think you've got the right person, and I
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: think you get the right person and somebody with that
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: heart that I think Panthers fans can relate to. I
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: think you have a chance to win a lot of
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: games and then see where it goes from there.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: It's a crazy world we're living in. A David Tepper
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: organization has shown patience, Nick. It is a crazy world. Now,
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: we're getting some comments from listeners that I want to
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: hit you with, folks that know you from your time here.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: We're calling Ask Nick.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: At FNZ. So, yeah, feel free if you want to
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: ask Nick anything, man. Catch up with a man.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: 704-570-9610. Let's see.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: We've got a text here that says, was Nick here
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: during the Willie P.
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: Dry brisket incident? Are you aware?
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: No, no, but I remember it because I wanted to
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: tread lightly because I'm one of the people encouraging Willie
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: P to, to branch out and to smoke stuff. But
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: also at brisket looked dry as hell. That looked like
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: that was just this side of charcoal.
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: Oh, he smoked it.
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: Oh, my God.
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: I think that's what the texter was looking for there.
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: Nick, as you can imagine, Fitty is very well respected
• 25:24
  Speaker 6: by our audience. Someone says, hey, Nick, did you accidentally
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: take Fitty's neck to Cleveland?
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: Oh, no.
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: He's missing a neck.
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah. So, uh, that man has gotten no neck since
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: well before I showed up and he showed up with
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: me in Carolina.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Hey, what do you, do you have any advice for him?
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: He's got a sweetheart. He has finally landed a steady girlfriend. Um,
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: he has asked her to go steady like our parents
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: used to back in the sixties and they've got a
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: date tonight on his birthday. She's taking him out. How
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: do you got any advice here? You're a six year,
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: a successfully married man.
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: What's your advice?
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah. The only difference between the relationships I had before
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: I found Vanessa and this beautiful relationship I have with
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: my wife is with Vanessa. I stopped for a little
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: while listening to that horny little bastard on my shoulder.
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: Bitty.
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: Every time he says something that gives you an inappropriate thought, say,
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: not now.
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: Okay?
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: Just delay it a little bit. Because I think Fiddy
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: might be the thirstiest guy we've ever had at FNC.
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: And if you just delay that little guy, he'll get
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: what he wants in time. Okay? Treat her like a lady, Fiddy.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: That's a good advice. I feel like it's sage advice.
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: Nick, what do you think of this move? Obviously, there's
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: been a lot of chatter of how is Fitty going
• 26:51
  Speaker 6: to handle having a new woman and also Flounder at
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: the same time. Yesterday, Fitty demanded that Flounder take him
• 27:00
  Speaker 6: out for his birthday dinner yesterday. Do you think at
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: some point that Fitty's got a woman now? He's just
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: got to stop maybe demanding meals out of Flounder?
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: Listen, polyamory is a big thing these days. You know,
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: it's not just related to or relegated to Mormons, you know.
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: So I think if Fitty wants to have a plural relationship, I,
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: you know, I listen, I don't begrudge happiness. So if
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: Flounder's happy and she's happy and Fitty's happy, I'm sure
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: they'll be on like a TLC show within the next
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: 12 months.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: You know, there is a show on Tubi called Swingers
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: of Ohio. Oh, hey now. Some neighborhood in Ohio has
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: got to go. I don't know what's going on there.
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: And I got to say, I think I'm making a
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: good impression on that show.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, now, Nick, somewhere in all these like smart alecky
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: questions that we're getting for you or about Fitty or
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Willie or whatever, there is a sincere question. How old
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: are Nick's girls now? I'm curious what stage the family
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: is at. That is an actual good, good question.
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: Buddy, I'm paying for all of my smart-ass irreverence in
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: spades these days. My oldest is 16, and she is
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: six feet tall. My 20s are 12 going on 13
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: in January, and they're 5'6, and they are every bit
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: the smart aleck. Their father is. And every day it
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: is like battling with three not so miniature versions of myself.
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: Anyone out there thought I want Nick Wilson to get
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: his comeuppance. I want you to know every single day
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: I do. And it's in miniature versions of me.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: My daughter's 13. That age, they get, yeah, and she's
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: a smartass like me, and it's like, oh, my Lord.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: That age gets interesting. We are getting, just to let
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: you know, you guys still got plenty of fans here.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: We are getting by Goma references, Charming or Chach references.
• 28:58

• 29:01
  Speaker 5: Well, I still love all you guys. I don't miss
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: that studio. That studio drove me crazy. The walls made
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: me feel like it was an insane assignment, but I
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: miss chopping up with you guys. And I certainly miss
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: the listeners in the beautiful city of Charlotte. We talk
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: about it all the time. That That stretch was one
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: of the great stretches of our lives with where our
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: girls were and our beautiful little neighborhood there in Ballantyne
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: that we lived in. You know, I certainly love being
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: home and I love being near family. But, man, do
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: I miss my Charlotte people more than I can express
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: in this call.
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: We have a guy from Cleveland that listens to you.
• 29:38
  Speaker 6: He said that yeah i don't know if this is
• 29:39
  Speaker 6: true that you say nice things about us is that
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: nick is that true.
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: The city of charlotte or youtube.
• 29:48
  Speaker 6: I thought it was us personally you know he made
• 29:49
  Speaker 6: it seem like you and i'm back and.
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: I came up all the time.
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: I will tell you, I make sure to shout out
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: my boys Mac and Bone. If I see something online

• 30:04
  Speaker 5: not just you guys, everybody at the station, you all
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: do such a good job. And again, I miss you guys.
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: It was a very fun four-year stretch. All right, brother.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: We're glad to see you're happy you're back home. 92-3
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: in Cleveland. Nick in his hometown, killing it as he
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: always has.
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: Love you, man. Appreciate you, brother. Good catching up, man.
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: Take it easy.
• 30:25
  Speaker 5: Appreciate you guys. Treat Fitty right. And Fitty, you treat
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: her right, all right? Treat her like a lady.
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: There you go, Fitt. Please.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: All right, Nick. See you, brother.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: That is Nick Wilson joining us from Bogutton, and I
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: love you at the end there.
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: I said it twice. I got nothing back here. 92.3
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: to fan afternoons. Nick, I love you!
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: By the way, a listener pointed this out to me.
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: I did not realize this. Today is a very big
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: day in Cleveland. Taylor Swift announced a few new songs
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: that she is releasing this week, and one of them
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: is named Cleveland. This has to be one of the
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: greatest moments in Cleveland history.
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: That's the Kelsey connection, right? Yeah, they actually have a
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: mansion in Cleveland. They have a house in Cleveland.
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: Remember when they showed up at the Cavs game and
• 31:06
  Speaker 6: they were sitting on those weird chairs?
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, against the Knicks when Taylor had no Knicks gear
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: and didn't seem to cheer. And then a week later,
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: she's losing her mind and she's like the female Spike Lee.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: That was kind of interesting. But anyway, there you go.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: Cleveland with their own song by Taylor Swift. Fitty, get
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: in here, baby.
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: Get in here.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: We know you're going to treat your sweetheart like a lady,
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: all right? But it was good to hear Nick Wilson
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: advise you. Squirrel Meat Henderson, very upset that Willie got
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: slandered today. So Willie's got a defense attorney in Squirrel
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: Meat Henderson.
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: Really?
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: I didn't know. We finally met the first person standing
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: up for Willie. It's not in his family.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: They said we don't acknowledge that. Willie got better at it.
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: That is true, though.
• 31:45
  Speaker 6: I'm sure the brisket is at least less dry now, Bonesy.
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: Less dry. All right, Fit Dog, what do you got
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: over there with a flash for us? Fitting.
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: Flash! Ah!
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: Savior of the universe!
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: Flash!
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: All right, thank you, Mac.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: This update, once again, brought to you by the H &
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: S Roofing and Gutter Company.
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: Give them a call. They'll give you a free estimate, 704-334-9934.
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: That is 704-334-9934. 704-334-9934.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: Mac, your guy and my guy, Pete Alonzo, keeping the Orioles'
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: playoffs hopes alive.
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: Hit his 41st home run last night.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: The Blue Jays, I know, got eliminated. You're hanging on
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: by a thread. But Pete Alonzo, who's been hot for
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: the last two, three weeks.
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: Unbelievable.
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: Keeping your O's playoffs open. Did you see what he
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: did after the game? Yeah, did you see what he
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: did after the game? He's got a first-class human being.
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: What a leader.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: He went around, got all his teammates, said, let's go
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: out there. It's our final home game. Let's give the
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: fans some applause. How do you let a leader like
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: that leave your organization?
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: Oh, that must hurt, Fett. That must hurt. I've got
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: to break.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: Is it not crazy though, Bo? This is, what is
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: EC saying? Hanging on like a cat on a screen door?
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: The Orioles have to, the White Sox have to lose
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: every game and the Orioles need to win every game.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: White Sox need to lose four. Orioles need to win three.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: and then they need Texas to lose at least half
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: their games. How are they still in a playoff chase?
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: It's been a somewhat miserable season. Because you have Pete Alonso.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: Anything is possible.
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: And A.L. Wildcard. That's a hashtag, A.L. Wildcard.
• 33:29
  Speaker 6: We come back. It's the wrap-up on Sports Radio 92.7. Matt,
• 33:33
  Speaker 6: we get you set for the NFL game tonight. No, seriously,
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: you want to watch it?
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: Maybe, perhaps. It involves Atlanta. We'll talk about it. Sports
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: Radio 92.7.
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: How do you simulate cowbells?
• 34:06
  Speaker 7: You take cowbells out there and ring them. So we've
• 34:08
  Speaker 7: got about 30 cowbells that our equipment managers and myself
• 34:13
  Speaker 7: and the rest of the staff ring during practice. And
• 34:16
  Speaker 7: then we've got the simulated cowbell with Will Ferrell saying
• 34:19
  Speaker 7: more cowbell from Saturday Night Live.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: Eli Drinkowitz, he and 29 other members of the Missouri
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: staff ringing cowbells in practice to get ready for the
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: trip to Mississippi State.
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: God, that's got to be annoying.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: But it's the only way to prepare you for the
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: absolute destruction of your ears that is going to be done.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: Because they're going to be cranked. They're going to ring
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: those cowbells a little harder this week.
• 34:50
  Speaker 6: I'm looking forward to watching that game, but I'm going
• 34:53
  Speaker 6: to have that on multi-view without the announcement.
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: I can't. I can't sit through cowbell hell. Cowbell hell.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: I love the fact they broke out the Christopher Walken clip.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: More cowbell this.
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: Week at practice. Drink's got a good sense of humor, man.
• 35:06
  Speaker 6: I don't have teams that could annoy you with sounds,
• 35:09
  Speaker 6: and I don't like teams that do that.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: No, that dang rooster, man. That rooster is a crowing
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: during Gamecock games.
• 35:15
  Speaker 6: That rooster stopped crowing about halfway through the game the
• 35:18
  Speaker 6: other day.
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: Oh, man.
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: We'll talk all about these games tomorrow on the show. Obviously,
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: tons of Panthers-Browns. We may need to talk about this
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: whole trap game thing. You said you saw Cat Crave
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: tweet out the question. I saw somebody else trying to say,
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: Panther fans, this is the vintage trap game. Have we
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: done enough this season to be trapped? Are the Panthers
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: good enough to fall into the trap?
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying, man. I don't know about that.
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: Or are we going to go into your trap and
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: take over your trap? Is that what we're going to do?
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: We're going to shut your trap. We're still a week
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: and a half removed from giving up 59. I don't know.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: But anyway, we'll talk through that and more tomorrow on
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: the show. Tonight, Falcons, their first of three straight primetime games. America,
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: cover your eyes. Although they do get their... Best quarterbacks back.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know what that means, but they do have
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: Pennix and Tua back. Pennix will be starting. It's going
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: to be a night of murder, both on the Traders
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: and the Falcons.
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: Falcons are going to get murdered. No doubt.
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: Coastal, shout out Coastal. Coastal and Liberty. tonight um kind
• 36:21

• 36:46
  Speaker 2: Let's see what we have here on the text line.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: We've got some comments about Nick. Husky Pants says, of
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: course he misses Charlotte. He lives in freaking Ohio. But
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: it's home to him. He's one of the few people
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: that actually.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: Like it, Bone.
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: It's home.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: People that live there, they love it. But then some
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: move here.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: Although, with that said, please don't make me live in
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: Pennsylvania ever again in my life. I don't think I've
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: ever been to Ohio, honestly, believe it or not. I've
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: never been to Ohio. I've been there once for a wedding, Columbus,
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: for a wedding.
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: But that's it. One of my wife's friends. But that's it.
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: I got in and out quick, Bonesy. I think somewhere
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: in life I would have ventured to Ohio, but I
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: have not. Why would you go to Ohio though? It's like,
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: you know, cause you know, it's.
• 37:27
  Speaker 6: A hot vacation spot. No, I'm just saying like somewhere
• 37:29
  Speaker 6: in life, maybe you would have taken me to Ohio.
• 37:31
  Speaker 6: All right, let's continue here.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: Jack says, every time you talk about the brisket, I
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: think about Willie's bachelor party. When Mac said that Willie
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: and the groomsmen were playing hide the brisket. Just a
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: party game. We're talking about a party game. I don't
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: know what you're talking about.
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: Get out of here!
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: This texter says.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: Someone remembers that. This texter says, the fact that Statue
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: of Limitations aren't up on Willie Brisket jokes shows how
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: immature you all are.
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: Oh, daddy, yes. Yeah, probably true. We don't encourage it.
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: All right? We tell people, hey, stop. We're uncomfortable with it.
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: Barry Patch says, the Fitty Flash segment just isn't the
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: same after what he said before 8 o'clock.
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: That is true.
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: When he wanted to, on his birthday, he wanted to
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: greet Walker in all of us in our birthday suits.
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: That has changed the term Fitty Flash, Bo.
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: I'm aroused. Fitty's birthday turns 30.
• 38:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, baby.
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: The woman.
• 38:27
  Speaker 6: The dime piece is taking Fitty out for a surprise
• 38:30
  Speaker 6: birthday dinner.
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: There you go, Fitty.
• 38:32
  Speaker 6: Maybe a little smooch-a-rooch there to close the night.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see about that.
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: He's not comfortable.
• 38:40
  Speaker 6: Max suggested you go to Freedom Park like Granny Pat
• 38:44
  Speaker 6: did in the 1940s.
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, pull that little Granny Pat sesh.
• 38:47
  Speaker 7: In the 1940s.
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: In the 1940s. Oh, damn. I wasn't really joking about 1945.
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: It's probably right.
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: A texter says Nick is the radio version of Bert Kreischer.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: Another texter says, can Finney have his bachelor party on
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: Nick's cabin trip? So we got some suggestions there. What
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: else do we have here? The Falcons is the Falcons.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin going to drop that line for us at
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: some point. They do play on Sunday night football soon.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: Texter says, if Jameis takes the Giants to the playoffs,
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: he'll be an all-time New York legend.
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: Sir, wake up.
• 39:24
  Speaker 6: Did you send that while dreaming? There's no way you're
• 39:26
  Speaker 6: in reality on that one. says finney can't go naked
• 39:29
  Speaker 6: tonight he's.
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: Got no neck.
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: Another texter says, tell that dude that texted in and
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: said he's in 19 fantasy leagues to get out of
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: his mom's basement and meet some females, for God's sakes.
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: That is absurd, 19 fantasy leagues.
• 39:49
  Speaker 6: It's a lot of redundancy with what you've got to
• 39:51
  Speaker 6: do for that, right? It's just a lot of... How
• 39:54
  Speaker 6: do you even keep up with what you've got.
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: To pull for in that?
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: A texter says, ketchup is the working man's condiment. Mustard
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: is a product of capitalism. That's a fellow ketchup man
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: like you, Bo. I'm not talking politics, though, all right?
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: Bo got called a communist for his condiment tanks. That's
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: a new one on the show. Multiple people love the
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: silence that we hit Fitty with when he made his
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: suggestion of all taking our clothes off.
• 40:18
  Speaker 6: It's what we used to do to MFG. We would
• 40:20
  Speaker 6: see how long we could be silent because he would.
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: Go, yeah, all right, yeah.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: It's a great way to get somebody that just made
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: a weird comment.
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: And they have to be the next one to talk, right? Yeah.
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: Finney waited seven seconds and then said, guys. He thought
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: we broke bone. No, just didn't really know how to respond.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: Now I know how to shut you up.
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: Do you know how poor a comment must be for
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: Mac to not talk?
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: I even, I didn't want to yap, man.
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: That's a very valid point bone. All right.
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: We're out of here. Y'all everybody. Enjoy the rest of
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: your Thursday. It's a football Friday tomorrow. Is Fetty going
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: three-score galores again? How do we feel about Panthers-Browns? We'll
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: talk about it all tomorrow. Colin Hoggard, Charlotte Sports Today,
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: coming up next.
