- 0:46Speaker 2: about that Fitty has done. Has this segment turned into
- 0:51Speaker 2: a Fitty fair foul segment every week?

- 1:15Speaker 2: about whether Fitty is fair or foul. Strow, how you been,
- 1:19Speaker 2: what's going on?
- 1:21Speaker 1: Good morning? Well, I was just talking to City in
- 1:23Speaker 1: the break. You know, we're been to our workout class.
- 1:27Speaker 1: We started Tuesday on the right foot here, and to
- 1:31Speaker 1: be fair, I did. I didn't miss you guys doing
- 1:33Speaker 1: the segment last week. But I saw two of the
- 1:36Speaker 1: three members of this trio at training camp last week,
- 1:40Speaker 1: so I did. I did get to see a.
- 1:41Speaker 2: Few people, that is true. And it was that practice
- 1:44Speaker 2: Strow where we think Fitty might have broken a media
- 1:48Speaker 2: lull is.
- 1:51Speaker 1: Early I had to get I didn't stay for the
- 1:53Speaker 1: whole thing because I had I had a meeting, and
- 1:55Speaker 1: now you're telling me I should have stayed for the
- 1:57Speaker 1: sake of keeping.
- 1:58Speaker 5: Well, we hadn't know about it till last segment. He
- 2:01Speaker 5: I was even there with him.
- 2:02Speaker 2: I didn't even know that, yeah, he he just we
- 2:04Speaker 2: were talking about the Panthers, right, and we'll get into
- 2:06Speaker 2: the Panther performance with you, Strow, and maybe you can
- 2:09Speaker 2: bring sunshine to concern Panther fans after that performance. But
- 2:14Speaker 2: Fiddy was talking about the team and what he believes
- 2:17Speaker 2: and what he's worried about, and he just kind of
- 2:19Speaker 2: casually dropped in. Yeah. When I was out of practice
- 2:21Speaker 2: last week, I overheard a conversation between Darren Gant and
- 2:24Speaker 2: Joe Person and Darren Gant was saying this. He used
- 2:28Speaker 2: what Darren Gant said that he basically was eavesdropping to hear.
- 2:34Speaker 2: Did he's at fair foulstro.
- 2:38Speaker 1: Well? I thought situational. There's different ways we can look
- 2:42Speaker 1: at it, because if you're always my thing is if
- 2:46Speaker 1: I'm speaking out in public and you hear what I'm saying,
- 2:50Speaker 1: I put myself in that situation, right, That's one way
- 2:53Speaker 1: to look at it. So I try to be caught.
- 2:55Speaker 1: I try to do the you know, let me do
- 2:57Speaker 1: a three sixty survey and see who's who's all around
- 3:00Speaker 1: me before I maybe say something I don't want repeated?
- 3:03Speaker 4: Is that?
- 3:03Speaker 2: Is that why you kept looking back to see if
- 3:05Speaker 2: were behind you had practices and kept.
- 3:07Speaker 1: Believing this was happening to me or other people? Yeah?
- 3:10Speaker 2: I mean, And there's also.
- 3:12Speaker 1: Like the media rule of Okay, I heard this conversation,
- 3:15Speaker 1: maybe I should check if I'm gonna broadcast it to
- 3:19Speaker 1: make sure it's okay. Right, So there's this kind of
- 3:21Speaker 1: there's also like unspoken rules I think when you're in
- 3:24Speaker 1: those situations too.
- 3:26Speaker 2: So it wasn't anything bad though, Fiddy wasn't anything bad.
- 3:30Speaker 3: It was Darren Gant's opinion that I'm sure if you
- 3:33Speaker 3: asked him about he would he would confirm I wasn't.
- 3:36Speaker 2: I wasn't reporting some information of its secrets or something.
- 3:40Speaker 2: He was just saying, like he stated his opinion.
- 3:42Speaker 3: It caught me off guard because I disagreed with set opinion.
- 3:46Speaker 2: It wasn't like Darren Gant was like talking to Joe
- 3:48Speaker 2: about like I don't know, like a personal health issue,
- 3:50Speaker 2: and it Fitty blurted it out. But now I'm concerned though,
- 3:53Speaker 2: if that could happen in the future or like the
- 3:55Speaker 2: state of Bryce's content negotiations.
- 3:57Speaker 3: It was his opinion about the linebacker competition.
- 4:00Speaker 2: You're making this a bigger is it he bone?
- 4:03Speaker 1: Is it?
- 4:03Speaker 2: He strow? At least in the gray area here.
- 4:05Speaker 5: He's already been outed though by Willie for giving information
- 4:08Speaker 5: on the air that wasn't supposed to. So let's go, oh,
- 4:11Speaker 5: this has been a problem.
- 4:12Speaker 1: You haven't heard from from Darren or the Panther saying
- 4:16Speaker 1: that was wrong?
- 4:17Speaker 5: Well, this just happened about ten minutes ago. No, but
- 4:19Speaker 5: it's I would hate for Darren to find this out.
- 4:22Speaker 5: Uh and and and weigh in on this.
- 4:23Speaker 2: This dude said Mac wants to give Fitty crap about everything.
- 4:27Speaker 2: Mac needs to shut up. So there you go. Is
- 4:29Speaker 2: that your burner, Fitty did? Did you get a new burner?
- 4:31Speaker 4: Folt?
- 4:33Speaker 2: Maybe? All right, well let's talk about the sports. Strow,
- 4:37Speaker 2: what did you think? Like, what, I'll just put it
- 4:40Speaker 2: this way, what would you say to Panther fans that
- 4:44Speaker 2: watched the way the offensive line play, that watched that
- 4:46Speaker 2: rough performance, some of the big pass plays, the first
- 4:49Speaker 2: team defense gave up and and are like really worried
- 4:53Speaker 2: about this team? Like what would you say that they
- 4:56Speaker 2: have a right to be worried? Or would you give
- 4:58Speaker 2: a Sunshine Strow pick me up speech?
- 5:03Speaker 1: Preseason is just so hard, right, Like you can see
- 5:06Speaker 1: great things and get way too excited, and then teams
- 5:09Speaker 1: not perform when it really counts. You can see really
- 5:13Speaker 1: bad things and it also carry over into the season.
- 5:15Speaker 1: I feel like the last time I remember us debating,
- 5:19Speaker 1: we always saw preseason, but the last time it was like,
- 5:21Speaker 1: oh yeah a few years ago, Yeah, we're just not
- 5:24Speaker 1: showing anything in preseason. We just don't want to give
- 5:26Speaker 1: it away, and then the season went really bad, so
- 5:29Speaker 1: you just never know why things play out the way
- 5:32Speaker 1: they do in preseason. For me, it's really let's get
- 5:36Speaker 1: the starters a few reps, let's see how we look,
- 5:38Speaker 1: which in this case, I know fans are not happy,
- 5:43Speaker 1: but it's also about the guys who were trying to
- 5:45Speaker 1: make the fifty three man roster, and this is their
- 5:48Speaker 1: opportunity to shine. If you're on the cusps, if you're
- 5:51Speaker 1: on the bubble, like, how do you prove to us
- 5:53Speaker 1: that you deserve a contract for the season. So I
- 5:56Speaker 1: don't want to say don't worry, because we've said that
- 5:59Speaker 1: in the past and there were all the reasons to worry.
- 6:01Speaker 1: And I don't want to say panic because it's a
- 6:05Speaker 1: few reps in the preseason.
- 6:07Speaker 5: All right, what's your what's your current win total at
- 6:09Speaker 5: STRO It's been a while since we've talked to you
- 6:11Speaker 5: about this, It's been a while.
- 6:13Speaker 1: I don't usually weigh in on I feel like I
- 6:16Speaker 1: never give like a strength it's going to be this
- 6:18Speaker 1: or that. It's either me being like, whoa, guys, you're
- 6:20Speaker 1: really feeling good or oh you think that's it? So
- 6:24Speaker 1: where are you guys at? Did did it change after
- 6:26Speaker 1: the weekend?
- 6:27Speaker 2: No?
- 6:27Speaker 5: No, no, no, I'm just staying strong. I'm not changing
- 6:30Speaker 5: two weeks. I'm at nine, Bones at ten, No, I'm
- 6:36Speaker 5: at nine. Oh okay, Bone and I are at nine.
- 6:39Speaker 5: Fitty is at eleven, and Willy's at seventeen.
- 6:43Speaker 2: What do you think.
- 6:46Speaker 1: Did will he really say that?
- 6:47Speaker 2: No, we just kind of made that. We'll tell us
- 6:49Speaker 2: what his numbering. He's been very secrets from him.
- 6:52Speaker 1: In two seconds, I'm telling you right now, he heard
- 6:54Speaker 1: you say that.
- 6:55Speaker 2: He's being very secret about his number. What do you
- 6:57Speaker 2: think about us in the nine ten eleven range? What
- 7:00Speaker 2: do you think?
- 7:02Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean I think the hope is you saw
- 7:05Speaker 1: success last season, you saw steps forward, and so to me,
- 7:09Speaker 1: the main thing is building off of last season and
- 7:13Speaker 1: where you were and being so close to be giving
- 7:17Speaker 1: the division. But nonetheless, I feel like everyone was like, Okay,
- 7:21Speaker 1: we we got this far, or we got a playoff
- 7:25Speaker 1: game where we got these things. So look right on,
- 7:28Speaker 1: cue Willie p text mess. Now let's see what it says.
- 7:32Speaker 1: He said. I very much did not say that.
- 7:37Speaker 5: Heytro will you text Willie and say Missouri should not
- 7:40Speaker 5: be in the top twenty five and.
- 7:41Speaker 1: To say he probably just heard that text that back.
- 7:47Speaker 2: Stro does not want to be in the middle of
- 7:48Speaker 2: our office dust ups here she is, she's too nice.
- 7:51Speaker 5: Should we get to the next fitty situation that I
- 7:54Speaker 5: guarantee you Stro will be very upset?
- 7:56Speaker 2: Are we just trying to make Strow upset?
- 7:59Speaker 5: Which is also a twist to the story about what
- 8:01Speaker 5: happened after this. So one day last week's Strow we
- 8:04Speaker 5: found out that Fiddy does not wear a seatbelt like
- 8:10Speaker 5: ever when he drives his car. He does not wear
- 8:13Speaker 5: a seatbelt. He does not believe in wearing a seatbelt.
- 8:17Speaker 5: And then Fiddy the day this story came about, will
- 8:20Speaker 5: you tell Strow what happened to yourself on the roads?
- 8:22Speaker 3: I've gotten a fender bender on seventy four.
- 8:27Speaker 1: Well, I would say that's you know, a message, that's
- 8:31Speaker 1: a message, yeah, from whatever you believe in, you know,
- 8:35Speaker 1: the good Lord, the universe, fate. I don't know, that's
- 8:38Speaker 1: someone telling you to buckle up.
- 8:42Speaker 2: I'm still not gonna do it.
- 8:45Speaker 1: That's silenced.
- 8:46Speaker 2: I guess he's so stubborn Strow. I just want to
- 8:50Speaker 2: help him so bad. I even offered last week.
- 8:54Speaker 5: God just sent you basically his version of a text
- 8:56Speaker 5: message there, and you still don't.
- 8:57Speaker 2: God just threw it high and tight told you to
- 8:59Speaker 2: get off the plate, and you're just like, no, it's
- 9:00Speaker 2: gonna be right hanging right over this plate. I stro
- 9:05Speaker 2: told him last week off the air, I said, I
- 9:08Speaker 2: really want you to start wearing your seatbelt, even though
- 9:10Speaker 2: you find it uncomfortable. I said, I will do something
- 9:13Speaker 2: that will make me uncomfortable in order to like make
- 9:17Speaker 2: you do this. Stop talking, and then fitty well, that
- 9:21Speaker 2: all right, let's talk me crazy now. I might as
- 9:23Speaker 2: well stop breathing if I can't talk bone, that's an option.
- 9:26Speaker 2: But like, oh my god, holy crab. But like, can't
- 9:31Speaker 2: we strike a deal, Fitty Well? I tried to, and
- 9:35Speaker 2: you weren't wanting to negotiate. Yeah, I don't know.
- 9:37Speaker 1: You got a little uncomfortable about it for you.
- 9:40Speaker 3: I just don't like the way that it restricts my
- 9:42Speaker 3: movement in the truck.
- 9:44Speaker 2: You mean it keeps you like you intact, I like
- 9:48Speaker 2: to move around while I'm driving.
- 9:50Speaker 1: Get like a little cushionything to put on it. If
- 9:52Speaker 1: that's what's making it unco.
- 9:53Speaker 2: Where you're going while you dry. How soft are you, man,
- 9:57Speaker 2: that the seatbelt's bothering you that much? I'm telling you
- 10:00Speaker 2: fit it bothers you for a couple of weeks, and
- 10:03Speaker 2: then after that, don't you think, don't y'all think like
- 10:06Speaker 2: you just get so used to it you don't even
- 10:07Speaker 2: know it's there.
- 10:08Speaker 1: I did, kid, Yeah, I was just gonna. Yeah, it's
- 10:14Speaker 1: like anything. The first week or two, you're gonna be
- 10:16Speaker 1: annoyed by it, and then it just becomes second nature.
- 10:18Speaker 1: Like put in my seat belt on isn't even something
- 10:20Speaker 1: I like. It's like muscle memory for me.
- 10:22Speaker 2: At this point.
- 10:23Speaker 1: It's not something I even like think about. It's my
- 10:25Speaker 1: thought in my brain. Just happened. You know.
- 10:27Speaker 5: My car will not let me It'll be it doesn't
- 10:29Speaker 5: stop the noise. Yeah, so I doesn't. I don't have
- 10:32Speaker 5: one that stops. That's a good point.
- 10:34Speaker 1: Did you find a way to turn yours off? No?
- 10:37Speaker 3: Mine just deans after like five minutes, and then it
- 10:40Speaker 3: goes away.
- 10:41Speaker 2: So Fitty just sucks it up, accepts the ding for
- 10:44Speaker 2: five minutes and then he's frome free.
- 10:47Speaker 1: Someone did say picking a girl up for a date
- 10:49Speaker 1: in your truck.
- 10:50Speaker 2: Well, that's a different topic for a different day.
- 10:55Speaker 3: Although I do have four matches? Would you on hinge?
- 10:58Speaker 3: So maybe I do need to start wearing the seat belt?
- 11:00Speaker 2: There you go, fit daddy, now you goro?
- 11:03Speaker 1: You know this.
- 11:03Speaker 3: You don't ever pick someone up for dates. You meet
- 11:05Speaker 3: them the whole pick the girl up and take her
- 11:08Speaker 3: on the date. No, I'll meet you at the rush.
- 11:09Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we covered.
- 11:11Speaker 1: Maybe order her eventually. It'll get eventually though, it should
- 11:14Speaker 1: get to a point where you're picking them up. You know,
- 11:16Speaker 1: once you get a little more in the know and
- 11:19Speaker 1: and our dating dating, then I would you know, I
- 11:22Speaker 1: feel like a little chivalry, So I'm fitting.
- 11:25Speaker 2: What if you had to Stro's point? What if you're
- 11:27Speaker 2: in like a steady relationship and your lady says, I
- 11:30Speaker 2: love you, I want you to beat around on this earth?
- 11:33Speaker 2: Can you please wear a seat belt? Would you do it? Then? Yeah?
- 11:37Speaker 3: Probably because I can't let another one get away.
- 11:39Speaker 5: Okay, Someone says, Okay. Someone says, Fitty's not in danger.
- 11:43Speaker 5: He only goes two miles per hour through drive through its.
- 11:48Speaker 5: He's not at risk.
- 11:50Speaker 3: Although I have gotten an accident in a drive through
- 11:52Speaker 3: before this.
- 11:53Speaker 2: You don't wear a seatbelt. He's been in an accident
- 11:56Speaker 2: in the line happened. By the way, Uh this texter says,
- 12:03Speaker 2: Jarvis says, just call the cops on Fitty. We did
- 12:06Speaker 2: put out an APB to catch Fitty last week. We
- 12:09Speaker 2: told them, we told the cops has passed me.
- 12:11Speaker 1: Yeah, this isn't my work because I'm saying it out loud.
- 12:14Speaker 1: But we could, you know, do the old teach a
- 12:17Speaker 1: lesson thing. We might need to put in some phone
- 12:19Speaker 1: calls to some people and see what we can have
- 12:22Speaker 1: happened here.
- 12:22Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go. We'll use all scared straight really
- 12:25Speaker 2: scarce straight. Strow. I did have one spot final sports
- 12:30Speaker 2: question for you before before you let you go, because
- 12:32Speaker 2: a texter says, all this segment is is rat Fitty
- 12:35Speaker 2: out to Strow it's both sad and entertaining at the
- 12:39Speaker 2: same time. So there you go. I'll take that. I'll
- 12:41Speaker 2: take sad and entertaining my career described. You can put
- 12:45Speaker 2: that on the T shirt for us too. Bone all right,
- 12:47Speaker 2: So Strow Bone Bone actually brought this up during the break.
- 12:51Speaker 2: I think it's a good one. Have you heard like
- 12:55Speaker 2: from the folks that you know in Minnesota, Like we're
- 12:59Speaker 2: seeing it on social media because of your working with
- 13:01Speaker 2: the team Wolves, TV Network, Like, do you do you
- 13:04Speaker 2: get a sense of like how they're feeling in Minnesota
- 13:08Speaker 2: about acquiring LaMelo, because we know that that did not
- 13:10Speaker 2: go down down well here. Are they like excited about
- 13:14Speaker 2: LaMelo or are they worried about I gn it hurt?
- 13:16Speaker 2: Like what do you know about the reaction in Minnesota.
- 13:21Speaker 1: I mean, I think vibes are high right now. I
- 13:23Speaker 1: think everyone's really excited, you know, I'm sure you saw
- 13:26Speaker 1: it on social media, like the guys just LaMelo an
- 13:29Speaker 1: Aunt front of the trip for the team to go
- 13:31Speaker 1: to Paris and see Rudy and do some team bonding there.
- 13:34Speaker 1: So I think they're doing everything in this off season
- 13:38Speaker 1: that they need to be ready for the season. But
- 13:41Speaker 1: Aunt's also been very honest. He's like, hey, look, this
- 13:43Speaker 1: is a new team, it's a new roster, Like it's
- 13:46Speaker 1: going to take us twenty thirty games of playing together
- 13:49Speaker 1: to really figure this out. So I think he's also
- 13:52Speaker 1: been like, sure, it'd be great to have all the
- 13:55Speaker 1: success in year one with each other, but there's also
- 13:58Speaker 1: a point of we can practice together, we can do
- 14:00Speaker 1: the team bonding trips, we can do all those things,
- 14:03Speaker 1: but it's got to come to real game time and
- 14:04Speaker 1: how do we work together and how do we flow
- 14:06Speaker 1: as a team. So I think maybe you just flog
- 14:09Speaker 1: on social media and the Tea Wells post a picture
- 14:12Speaker 1: of LaMelo and Ant practicing together. Fans are a static,
- 14:16Speaker 1: but then it's it's kind of like what Aunt said,
- 14:18Speaker 1: It's okay, that's we love it. We're great, We're all
- 14:20Speaker 1: excited and the reason for doing this is ultimate success.
- 14:24Speaker 1: But we also got to figure that out on the
- 14:26Speaker 1: court and find our chemistry and play together. So I
- 14:29Speaker 1: think everyone's excited. I think people are kind of maybe
- 14:32Speaker 1: seeing this version of LaMelo of stepping up. He's been
- 14:35Speaker 1: in Minnesota, he's been in the gym with Aunt, They
- 14:38Speaker 1: everybody but the Bones was in Paris with them and
- 14:41Speaker 1: he had other obligations so he couldn't go. So I
- 14:43Speaker 1: just think they're really locked in and trying to at
- 14:46Speaker 1: least start the season on the right foot. I also think,
- 14:49Speaker 1: you know you've got you've got LaMelo kind of stepping
- 14:53Speaker 1: into fatherhood or we've seen that over the off season
- 14:57Speaker 1: as well, So I think it's maybe a new new
- 14:59Speaker 1: one era, but we'll see. But I think it's safe
- 15:02Speaker 1: to say everyone's excited now, but ultimately it's about how
- 15:05Speaker 1: you perform it.
- 15:06Speaker 2: Bone Thailand, not bon Tancock. I was confused. I'm like,
- 15:08Speaker 2: why would t Bone be on a Minnesota Temperwolf's team trip.
- 15:12Speaker 2: That's a good pull boat.
- 15:13Speaker 1: Didn't you know he was?
- 15:14Speaker 2: He was invited to cousin Bones. I'll say that's leadership
- 15:18Speaker 2: from LaMelo, him and Aunt getting together and say we'll
- 15:20Speaker 2: pay for this trip, So that that's leadership there. So anyway,
- 15:23Speaker 2: I wish him the best, but I certainly wish the
- 15:25Speaker 2: Hornet's even better, to be honest, but I hope it
- 15:27Speaker 2: works out for both parties. All right, Stro, good talk, Stro.
- 15:31Speaker 2: Hopefully you're not overwhelmed by all the fitty fair foul situations.
- 15:36Speaker 2: You are the conscious of the show.
