  Speaker 1: We're live, everybody. We're live, live, live.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Good thing we didn't have a Sacramento hot mic situation
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: during that break, man.
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: We got a little frisky.
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: All I simply did was tell Mac who Lola Weiss
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: was on WWE.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: I'm not aware.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: I'm not aware of the current ladies involved in wrestling.
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: I've never seen a man search quicker for a name
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: than he did during that segment.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: I'm a throwback. I'm a Miss Hancock man. Stacey Keebler.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry? Stacey, isn't that her name? You're not talking
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: about my mom, right? No, I'm talking about, wasn't that
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: the character Stacey Keebler played? Yes, it was.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, my fellow Towson Tiger alum, Stacey Keebler. She will
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: ever be my favorite wrestling woman. But I'm open-boned to
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: hear the new names, all right?
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of them. All right, let's focus here, man.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: The Canes open today, baby, at 5 o'clock, an hour
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: after Bone eats his dinner. The Carolina Hurricanes will raise
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: a banner and drop the puck and take on those
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: dastardly Kachuk brothers and the Florida Panthers.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: What a fun way to open the season.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: There's also something that apparently is a policy they're announcing
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: about fan behavior that we have questions about. So there's
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: going to be a lot of Kane stuff here. We
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: will probably work some football in as well. But Adam Gold,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: he is here, and I know he's ready for Kane's season.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: 99.9 to Fanning Rally. What you need to know in
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Charlotte is weeknights here on WFNZ at 7 o'clock.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: Goldie, I know you're ready to go for tonight.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Huh, man?
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: I am fired up. fire. And a day game too.
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: I love it.
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: Speaker 2, a lot of fans were complaining about the
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: 5 PM, but that's kind of a cool thing.
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: I think Speaker 3, I don't give up. Oh wait.
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: I almost, I almost already broke a rule. We'll all
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: get over it. Well, I mean, five o'clock is not
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: the most convenient thing, but it's not like it's, it
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: was sprung on us yesterday. We've known about it for,
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: for two months. So we're good.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Let's go.
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: Let's party.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Canes fans can do that fine, just fine.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: I think the argument that I've heard is like, man,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: we're raising a banner. We're the champs, and you've got
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: to give us the early time. But, of course, I
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: was informed of what two markets play that slot where
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: you would like the Canes to be, and it's Boston
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: and New York. It's like, just like in baseball, you
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: ain't bumping those markets off the primetime, man.
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: Florida was the two-time defending champs and they played the
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: five o'clock game last year.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: I didn't know that.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: All right. It does kind of suck though.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: It's the last three, holders are the last three cups
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: and they get five o'clock, but you're right. Canes fans
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: will make the most of it. So how are you
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: feeling about this season? I mean, obviously it's hard to defend.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: I'm not even talking about that. Like Do you feel
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: like this team can be as good? Do you feel
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: like they can be improved in some areas? Are you
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: worried about a step back at all? What's your feeling
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: about this team compared to the champs?
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: I think they'll be better than last year's team. It
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: doesn't mean you're going to win a cup, but I
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: think in the regular season, all that does is give
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: you a chance. I think they'll be a better team
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: in the regular season this year than last year. I
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: think there's areas for several of their players to improve.
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: They'll get a much healthier version of Seth Jarvis back.
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: My guess is he'll come back before J.C. Horn. That's
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: my guess.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: God, that hurts.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: I mean, good for Jarvis, but that hurts.
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I know.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: I apologize.
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: But I think they'll be a better regular season team.
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: And then we'll see how it all falls together in
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: the postseason. It's the most unpredictable of the sports postseason
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: because anybody can beat anybody in the first round. All
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: bets are off in the first round. It's just a
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: goofy way of– it's an incredible sport.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: Mack and I were taken aback by one of your
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: tweets today, a quote tweet saying, From AtKane's Hockey AC,
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: it's a screenshot of new fan etiquette rules at Lenovo Center.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: Any fan who curses in front of children will now
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: be evicted from the arena. Cursing does not have a
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: place in the game of hockey. We had to ask you,
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: was this real? But it turns out that it is.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: The Canes are cutting down on cursing at the arena, huh?
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: Were they not at their own parade?
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: I just thought the same thing. I was like, what
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: about that parade? I mean, my gosh.
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: Sebastian Ajo was treating Jordan Stahl like Roy Kent. It
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: was awesome.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: Look, you know, I.
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: Think we'd all like to be better around kids, but
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: I think this is sort of like, you know, on
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: the back of the ticket. It tells you that, like,
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: if a puck goes into the stands and it hits you,
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: it's on you. Like, they're just really covering themselves. Hey, look,
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: we told them, like, if somebody gets really abusive, yeah,
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: we'll probably, I'm sure they'll kick him out. But I
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: do have questions. Am I allowed to say H-E double
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: hockey sticks?
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we need to know. It's hockey sticks. You should
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: be allowed to. Well, you need to know. You know,
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: old school radio, Goldie, you had those seven words, right? Exactly.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: We need to know what are the no-nos in the arena.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: I have to tell you, I said this, and I
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: know this doesn't make me a good person.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: It might make me the opposite.
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: Uh-oh.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: But I was saying to the boys off the air, Goldie,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: I can't watch a sporting event without cursing.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: You're a Charlotte sports fan. That's hard for me, man.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: And I get it with kids because I've been there
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: before where I've had my kids and it's like some
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: people are really belligerent about it. But just like a
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: curse word here or there, that feels impossible to me.
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: Not to mention that depending on who you are, we
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: all have different thresholds. To me, H-E double hockey sticks
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: It's not a curse, but to some it is. Is
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: Karen going to call security on me?
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: That's a good point.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: If you get stuck with a total Karen near you,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: are they going to listen to her and you said
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: a word that's not that bad one time?
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: I tweeted you my theory. This is brilliant. You can
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: keep the Northeastern fans out now.
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: Oh, the Rangers fans will be gone by the first
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: TV timeout. They'll go back to Carrie and put on
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: their hurricane jersey. Here's my suggestion. We also turn into
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: Roman Maroney from Johnny Dangerously and just curse like he did.
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: I like that. You've seen the movie, right?
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you bargain ice hole. Am I allowed to say that?
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: I think I can say that.
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: You're some of the beaches. You're vestiges.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: Yes, vestiges. That was another one. Oh, that's fun. Oh,
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: that's fun.
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: So I do believe, though, ref, you suck is okay.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it better be because I know that's going to
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: be done. That'll be done tonight at some point.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: Adam, I feel for the arena workers that if there's
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: a guy banging on the glass and you have to
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: go down there and say, sir, you have to leave,
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: you use a naughty word, good luck with that guy.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: I'm sure everybody's going to take that well. I dropped
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: one F-bomb, and I'm out of the game. I spent
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: $ 200 on tickets.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Oh, my gosh.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Now, one last Canes question, Goldie, and I'm sure we
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: can do some football stuff or whatever.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Will Rod Brindlemore get thrown out, someone asked. Yeah, that's true.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Oh, man, if a.
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: Kid's sitting behind the bench, holy cow.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Keep the kids away from the bench, y'all, all right? Um, Goldie,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: I was going to ask about Jarvis. So like, do
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: you know what timeline? And then the other question is Nikitian,
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: the defenseman is, I guess it's a restricted free agent
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: situation where they haven't come to terms. Like, can we
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: just forget about him this year? Like what, what are
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: those two situations?
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the Nikitian one. Uh, let me handle that
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: one first. Uh, there, I mean, he has a new agent,
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: which actually may help Carolina, uh, But ultimately, they value
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: him differently at this point than he values him. So
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: my feeling is that this is probably going to end
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: in a separation and a trade. Who knows what Carolina
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: will bring back? They have interest in Winnipeg's goaltender, Connor Hellebuck,
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: but there's no direct The Hurricanes and Winnipeg aren't good
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: trade partners, and I'm not sure Nikitian wants to go
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: there anyway. Not that he would have to approve. He
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: has no rights. Hurricanes can trade him to whoever they want.
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: But no team's going to take him unless they can
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: sign him. And I don't believe he wants to sign
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: a short-term deal. I think he wants a long-term contract.
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: Hurricanes are not ready to do that with him. I
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: think the Canes would love to buy a look at
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: him for two years. and then make their decision at
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: least during or after this season, but I don't believe
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: that's what they're interested in. in. So I think this
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: is ultimately going to end in a trade. As for Jarvis,
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: according to Eric Tolsky yesterday, if it was up to Seth,
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: he'd play tonight. But he's not really ready for that.
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: And with shoulder surgery, it's always kind of tricky. My
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: feeling is he'll probably miss the first three, four weeks
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: of the season. If I didn't see Seth Jarvis in
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: the lineup until November 1st, I'd be fine with it.
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: I'd actually be fine with it if we didn't see
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: him until December 1st.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: The longer he.
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: Stays out, I think the stronger he is.
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: How much of your faith in the Panthers took a
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: hit on Sunday with the loss to Cleveland, but also
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: the amount of injuries that are piling up, including J.C.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Horne?
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: I mean, the injuries are the only thing that would
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: shake my faith in the team. I thought, I mean,
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: I thought Bryce played fine. He wasn't great. Certainly wasn't
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: as good as he was in the first two games.
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: But Cleveland's defense, and I said going in, I thought
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: this would be a low-scoring game that the Panthers would
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: just kind of figure out a way to win. And
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: they could have. They certainly could have. But Cleveland's got
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: a legit defense, even without Myles Garrett. So... I was
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: not surprised that it was more difficult. I think the
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: injuries to me are the real problem. And as I
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: said before the season started, I know Horn and Jackson hurt.
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: That's a problem. And they'll have to figure out a
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: way around that. That means more pressure on the quarterback.
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: It certainly wasn't good that Devin Lloyd wasn't available. I
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: think that has a lot to do with why the
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: game played out the way it did. But I've been
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: telling you, the two guards, I know Robert Hunt hasn't
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: been great to start the season, and now Damian Lewis
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: has banged up. And he was sort of in and
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: out of training camp's lineup. That is my biggest concern
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: for this team. because it speaks to whether or not
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: they can run the ball effectively.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: It does, and those tackles, too. I wonder how long
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: until we can get at least one of Moten or
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: Icky back. That would certainly help as well. What did
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: you think, real quick, Goldie? What did you think of
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: the way Dave Doran, it was feisty Dave. You get
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: this from Dave from time to time. It amuses me.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: What did you think of Dave when he ended his
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: press conference? If they blow a 21-point lead against App
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: but finish with the last 10 points, And he says,
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: by the way, we won that game. What did you
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: think of that feisty Dave moment?
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: I thought his– look, that's what Dave– that's Dave, right,
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: in a nutshell. I don't know why anybody thought that
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: this would be a blowout. Maybe because it was 21-0
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: in 28-7. But State isn't so good where they're going
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: to blow anybody out other than Richmond. And App is feisty,
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: plus the game– You know, it's in some ways at
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: Super Bowl when you're playing NC State. I thought it
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: was a– I saw the game I thought I was
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: going to see. High-scoring game where State won by about
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: a touchdown. Okay, good. You know, could Dave have chosen
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: better words than to use lynch mob? Okay, I think
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: that's a little extreme.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: I caught that, too.
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm not using it in the sense where lynching is,
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: you know, something so egregious for Dave Dorn to say.
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: I'm just saying, I don't think people really are looking
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: at it in the way Dave is reacting to it.
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: I think fans are frustrated because the team, really, fans
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: are frustrated. If they had beaten Vanderbilt, I don't think
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: we would see this. But they're still sore over the
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: fact that they lost that game that they should have won.
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: And they felt like maybe the whole thing was sort
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: of mismanaged. And I do. I thought that game was
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: mismanaged at the end. But with all that said, I
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: think Dave was a little bit in his feels, and
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: I think that, like, I wasn't at the game, so
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: maybe he was hearing it from the fans because they
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: blew the 21-point lead, and that game was, what, 31
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: apiece deep into the fourth quarter. Yeah, yeah.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: All right, Goldie, you rock, man.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: That was a great preview of the Canes on the
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: ice and in the stands. Appreciate you. Enjoy the opener, man.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: We'll talk to you next week.
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: F-yeah!
