  Speaker 1: Oh, oh, oh, it's Mac and Bo on your radio, baby.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: This is my friend Matt.
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: Posh, come on, Posh.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: This is my friend T-Bone. Let's have some fun.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: I can't go to work without listening to Mac and Bone.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: Do it live.
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: Certainly there's going to be aspects of that game plan
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: that we'd like to transfer over. They're similar from the
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: skill set. They're both great runners. They're both good as receivers.
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: They're both good in protection. So they create a lot
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: of challenges and problems, and we know that their coaches
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: do a good job of getting them to those featured spots.
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: And so there will certainly be aspects of the game
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: plan that we'll like to carry over. Obviously, the pieces
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: around them are different, right? So we know there's going
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: to be some other challenges that Lions present different from
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: the Falcons, but great players that are challenges in a
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: lot of different aspects.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: Ejiro Avero talking about something we've discussed this week, Bone.
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: It was a good question for Cassidy Hill, too, during
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: the presser. Like, how much can you use the Falcons
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: game plan that held Bijan Robinson to 82 rush yards,
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: and three catches for nine yards. Because that was a
• 1:26
  Speaker 5: banner job. That might be, I don't know, that might
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: be the best job done all season on Bichon.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was, actually.
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: So, like, can you replicate that? Can you do the
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: same things against Gibbs? They're certainly going to try. But
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: it's on tape, too. I think Devin Lloyd was a
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: big part of that. He did so much in that game.
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: But I think having Devin Lloyd back, Boney, to chase
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: around Gibbs, I think is big. Devin Lloyd covering Laporta,
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: I think is big. I think teams that have that
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: combination of dual threat running back that's going to catch
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: it and be out in space, juking and jiving, and
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: he has forced 25 missed tackles already this year. gibbs
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: and a tight end i think that's where our improved
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: linebacker play comes in handy i really do.
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah the issue with that though is there was really
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: no threat of the pass with the quarterback play of
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: the falcons yes i think they can do a good
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: job on gibbs like robinson The problem would be there
• 2:24
  Speaker 6: are so many more options in the passing game that
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: the Lions have at wide out. You've got Laporta. You
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: didn't fear the other, even London in that game, you
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: didn't fear the Falcons offense besides B.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: John. I fear everything with this Lions offense. Well, yeah,
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: you could take B.
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: John away and be like, I dare your scrubby-ass third
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: and fourth string quarterback to throw it.
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: You know, whereas we ain't daring Jared Goff to throw it.
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: And oh, by the way, we had our two starting
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: corners in that game too so now better better passing
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: game much better quarterback both starting corners i can't remember
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: as well what.
• 3:01
  Speaker 6: Was the guy named jack kemp that came in the
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: game what's his name there the jack strand yeah not
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: sound like a damn movie star jack camp that's a
• 3:07
  Speaker 6: former quarterback politician whatever it was old school man fear
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: we didn't fear the qbs golf You got to fear
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: that attack.
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: Niners Eddie says golf is poo. Y'all got this. That's
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: the first time Niners Eddie has ever sent a positive
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: Panther text in ever. I don't think golf is poo.
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: Although I do know a couple Lions fans that like
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: disc golf. And I get their point. Their point is, Bone,
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: to get to the mountaintop. They're not sure Goff can
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: do that. Oh, he did get in a Super Bowl
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: with McVay and the Rams, but they didn't win it.
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: But in terms of the way he's playing, our secondary,
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry, man. I'm definitely concerned. You got my attention.
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: He's off to an amazing start, too.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: 116 rating.
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: Eight touchdowns, no picks. We had a texter earlier, Bone,
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: as we ponder, are we panthering up? And I honestly
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: want to know from you guys how many fans out
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: there do think we win this game. But we had
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: a texter earlier that said, I've seen Goff have some
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: hideous four and five turnover games. And I was thinking
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: about that this week.
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: He.
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: I can't remember the games. I feel like you had
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: one against Houston on like a Sunday night one time.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Oh, he turned it over.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: I got five pick game. You have one of the playoffs.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: I don't remember that. Or no. The Washington game, what
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: did he do in that game? Was that a bad
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: one turnover-wise for him? I have to watch. But he
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: has been so clean with it this week.
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: But, man, if you could find that version of Jared Goff,
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: I don't know if you can do that with Horn
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: and Jackson out, but that would be big. All right,
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: so before we do our picks and before we start
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: reading y'all's texts of whether you think the Panthers can win,
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: I do want.
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: He had three INTs in the Washington game that they
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: got upset in. So there are those moments. He had
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: a 57% completion percentage. he had a terrible game that day.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah. There are those moments.
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: Um, but I just don't know, are we in a
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: position without horn and Jack to create those moments? Um,
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: couple of things to set the tone for this panthering
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: up conversation. We want to read your texts. How many
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: of y'all are actually panthered up? A lot of people
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: are saying it's a shootout regulators says, uh, we win
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: in a shootout. He thinks, which I think is definitely possible. Um, and,
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: Two points I want to make, Bone. One is there's
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: a lot of gloom and doom on the text line.
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: We've been hit so hard by injuries. I understand it.
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: But we're only three and a half point dogs. So
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: like for all the gloom and doom, and I know
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: we're at home and dogs, but this is not one
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: of these games, Bone, like Packers or Rams last year
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: where we were double-digit point underdogs and still found a
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: way to win. So that's the first thing. Let's not
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: act bone. And you were talking about this earlier, the Lions'
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: first three games. Let's not act like folks in Detroit
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: are on cloud nine thinking this is some sort of
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: super Lions team like it was two years ago.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: No, they're still trying to figure out exactly who they
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: are right now. It's not.
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: They've come back to earth to some degree, especially on
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: the defensive side with injuries. The problem that I'm having
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: here is the Browns Coupled with all the injuries to J.C. Horn,
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: to Mike Jag, all the guys on the report this week.
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: My spirit's been hit a little bit this week. So
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: I'm not in normal rah-rah mode. I'm not saying I
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: can't be talked into it and that good points aren't
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: being made about why the Panthers can win. Me personally,
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: last week and then the injuries, that was a big hit.
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: to the confidence in this particular matchup this weekend.
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I will say the Browns last night, though, performance
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: did make me look and say, okay, maybe, you know
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: what I mean?
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: Maybe it's not the normal shame of losing to the Browns. No,
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: that's fair. I did kind of have that.
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: The Browns have actually been good three weeks in a row,
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: and their one loss is to Jacksonville, who probably isn't
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: talked about enough, I don't think, for how good they
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: actually are. 704 asking if Devin Lloyd is playing. If so,
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: we have a chance he is. Hopefully there's no setback.
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: I don't want to Matt curse it.
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: But he's practiced in full every day this week and
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: also said on Monday, I'm playing. Apparently was close-boned to
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: being able to go last week. Yeah, he's a big factor.
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: I think we missed him last week. Not saying the
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: defense didn't do a lot of good things until late,
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: but we missed him last week. The other point I
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: want to make about this game, before I make my
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: Panther and up decision is this is nothing like the
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: Rams game last year.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: I mean, I shouldn't say nothing.
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: That's wrong. Cause we've compared it to that. The injuries
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: who were missing at Rams game. We didn't have two
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: starting linebackers, Mike Jack, Trayvon Merrick. We didn't have a
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: bunch of guys, but there is no comparison between bone
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: that Rams team that came in here as double digit favorites.
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: And this is, Detroit team. That Rams team bone was
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: considered the most popular choice for best team in the
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: NFL coming into Carolina. Like they were literally the hottest
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: team in the league.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Hadn't they won like a ton in a row? I
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: forget the number.
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: Matthew Stafford had had 28 straight touchdowns without an interception
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: and we broke that streak. So I just want to
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: say right now, like I was defeated. I had a
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: defeatist attitude going into the Rams game last year. Maybe
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: that's why we won reverse Matt curse. I don't think
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: this should be a defeatist attitude when y'all go to
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: the bank. in your rain gear on Saturday night bone.
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: Like this, this team, this Lions team is nowhere near
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: what that Rams team was at least coming into the game.
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: I think there, I think there's a lot of comparisons
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: to that Rams game. I think there's very little comparisons, Matt,
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: to the Packers game on the road.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: Cause that was a 16, 13 win.
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: Bryce threw for 102 no touchdowns one int rico ran
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: for 125 i think the type of game will have
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: to be much more like that rams game yeah i
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: can't see it yes it wasn't upset went on the
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: road that time but that game was kind of a
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: slugfest grinded out running game this is going to be
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: this is going to be a lot of glory going
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: on a lot of scoring galore and going.
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: On scoring galore and uh That sounds like what's going
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: to happen after I take Mississippi. No, it's not. It's not.
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: I can't even lie. I can't even lie, y'all. I
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: didn't know Texas Roadhouse brought up those kind of feelings.
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: We have not decided on Roadhouse, y'all. Stop spreading rumors.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: Stop spreading rumors. Well, you don't want the Roadhouse. You'll
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: be at the Outback because there are going to be
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: too many people there on a Saturday night. That is true.
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: I may pitch Outback because Roadhouse is too big of
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: a line. I do want to get back for some
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: college football. Don't get me wrong, y'all.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: All right, anyway.
• 9:32
  Speaker 6: Now I need someone to scream at me about that.
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: We have a guest on the line with a new feature, Mac,
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: we came up with in the middle of the show,
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: specifically for Sunday night because of the weather system coming in.
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: So we thought, well, what weatherman can we get on
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: the fly? Is it Brad Panovich? Is it Al Conklin?
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: Is it Larry Sprinkler.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: Out of retirement? Yeah, who'd you get, man? Who'd you get?
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: So we brought in Weatherman Mark for the update on
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: the weather for Sunday night.
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: Oh, shoot.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: I thought Conklin was walking down the hall right now.
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: Weatherman Mark, this is your chance here, man. What's going on?
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: Give us the update.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: Weatherman Mark, what's going on, baby?
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Hey, guys.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Love you, man. It's going to be hot today, man.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: It's about like 67 right now. Saturday is going to
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: be rainy. And thunderstorms with a 70% chance of rain.
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: I didn't know we were getting a 10-day before we
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: get to Sunday, Mark. Sunday night. I want to know
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: Sunday night.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: I'm getting to Sunday.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: Game day. Game time conditions, Mark.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Sunday, 40% chance of just showers. No lightning.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: That's good.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: So no delay then.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: It is going to be cold. Our last 80-degree day
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: is Saturday.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Winston, the weather dog, Corgi, has already got his winter
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: coat on.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: Winter coat already? Winter coat? What's wrong with that dog?
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: No kidding.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: You baby that dog, don't you?
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: They need to plan for a good running game just
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: in case we get showers in the middle of the game.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: But it's going to.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Be– About 65 degrees for game time.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: I like that. That's a good temperature.
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: Now, I need to ask here, and I like the
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: way you brought a little football analysis with your weather.
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: That separates you from some of the other elite weather
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: personalities in Charlotte. I need to ask, though, what is
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: the temperature need to be for Winston to have his
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: winter coat on? Because I feel like you're babying Winston.
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: I feel like Winston might be tough enough to handle
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: what's going on, and maybe you baby him a little.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Bit, Mark?
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't help.
• 11:36
  Speaker 7: It.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: It's got to get down in about 70-something degrees.
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: Okay, a coat for 70. Yeah, a coat for 70.
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: But he already has a coat to begin with, right?
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: He's already got the fur anyway.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's already got it, man. He's got that undercoat.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: You know, he's a corgi, of course.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: All right, thank you, Mark. Of course, baby. All right, Mark.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: Appreciate it. Thank you for all the insight. You the man.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 12:00
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: You guys have a great one.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: You too, Mark.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Thank you, man.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: We got it, baby. We got it.
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: Hey, is it possible I could wear Winston's jacket to
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: the game?
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: I dumped him.
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: All right. Maybe for the best. Maybe for the best.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: I have to tell you. I didn't know we were
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: doing a 10-day there.
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: That was so funny the way he started going the
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: whole way through the weekend. It's like we literally want
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: to know 820 to like 1130. That's like literally all
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: we wanted to know. But there's a charm to Mark.
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: I feel like there's a charm there. People seem to
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: have enjoyed that bone.
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: Matt, would you like Al Conklin's actual forecast for the game?
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: He put it up this morning on his Twitter feed.
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: at Al Conklin's. We'll get the actual weather report for
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: Al on Sunday. First alert, rain will be heaviest and
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: most widespread Saturday night, lasting through midday on Sunday. Rain
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: may tamper down to scattered showers by Sunday evening, so
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: ponchos may be a good bet for the game. Sunday
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: will be quite cool, so it doesn't seem like there's
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: going to be a major in-game rainstorm.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: That's good. That's good. Apparently. I put my corgi in
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: his winter outfit. That was hilarious.
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: According to Hawaiian Ham, the texter, not the actual meat,
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: Brad Panovich tweeted us, Bone, and said, feel free to
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: call him for the weather news.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: We could do that. The only thing is, are you
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: going to be as funny?
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, Brad listens at the eight o'clock hour.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: What was he thinking on weatherman Mark came.
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: On brad are you gonna be as silly as weatherman
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: mark like i like you're the true professional i feel
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: like you're too professional for the mac and bone show.

• 13:29

  Speaker 6: and brad panovich What's that?
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: Have I ever told you this? I don't know.
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: Anytime like Boat is very concerned right now. Anytime that
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: there is a storm, a possible winter storm, my wife
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: cannot stop telling everybody in the house what Brad tweeted out.
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: Brad said this. Brad said that. And I've joked to
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: her like, my God, here we go. Any threat of snow.
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: And I got to hear about Brad all the damn time.
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: And Caitlin's theory is that mom likes Brad more than dad.
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: And that is Caitlin's theory. I think that's probably the
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: case in most households.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: Poor Mac.
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: If he ran for mayor, let's be honest, he's winning.
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: And then he struck me out when we played softball together.
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: I had to tell Mrs. Mac that. But anyway, yeah,
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: we have to tell Caitlin that, no, your mother likes— Oh, yeah.
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: We think your mother likes Dad more than Brad. Brad
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: tweeted the Mac and Bone show account.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: Hit me up. There you go, Brad.
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: Well, Brad just probably heard about how he creates an
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: interesting dynamic in the household.
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: We're going to chart Brad versus Weatherman Mark in their forecasts.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: Oh, man, that could be a battle right there, baby.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: Winter weather battle. Weatherman Mark had it first.
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: When we come back, Cole Bryson does radio down there
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: in South Carolina, covers Clemson in South Carolina. We're going
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: to talk about Clemson's chances against Miami and also the
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: hot seat that Shane Beamer is on. All Palmetto State
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: football talk next on Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, man.
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: Mack and Bone with you. It's been a lively one today.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: I'm on edge. A lot of Panther injuries. I think
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: we're on edge. I think we're on edge. I've not
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: even noticed.
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: Sunday night football for the first time in Carolina in
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: 11 dang years. And I just want the boys to
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: show out, man. I just want them to show out,
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: even with all the missing guys. If you missed any
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: of today's show, go check it out. Check the hours
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: you missed in podcast form out at WFNZ.com, Apple, Spotify.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: Wherever you get your podcasts.
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: And yes, I will answer the question that someone will
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: ask Bone. Where's Mac yelling at Fitty? That is at,
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: what is that, about 650-something, 652 or so?
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it was during the couch potato guide, so that
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: was around 652 or so. Right at the end of
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: hour one. And it felt like it ended around 751.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: Oh, man. I don't know. I don't know, baby.
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: But right now, though, let's talk a little bit of
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: college football and let's talk a little bit of Palmetto
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: State college football specifically. Clemson has, you know, gotten their
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: footing back a little bit, Boney, the last couple of weeks.
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: I don't know if that helps tomorrow night, but they
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: certainly have got their footing back the last game and
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: a half or so. South Carolina desperately looking for footing.
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: And let's talk this through with one of our favorites
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: down there in the Palmetto State. He is Cole Bryson,
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: and he joins us from the fan upstate down there
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: in South Kakalaki. Cole, what's going on, man? How are
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: things down there in South Carolina?
• 17:11
  Speaker 8: Man, they're good. Listen, I heard you complaining about all
• 17:13
  Speaker 8: the Panther injuries and, you know, a huge Sunday night game. Listen,
• 17:16
  Speaker 8: we can't all be Cleveland. We can't all be 3-1, okay?
• 17:21
  Speaker 8: We all want to be, but that's reality.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: We can't be Cleveland.
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: I thought about spinning it today, Cole, of, hey, maybe
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: the Panthers can get Cleveland revenge if they meet in
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: the Super Bowl.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: With the way the Browns are going right now.
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: We'll see you again in the day of Superbowl on
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: Valentine's day, baby. All right, man, let's talk about your
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: teams down there. I don't want to be rude and
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: not acknowledge that y'all have had some football stress down
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: there too. Let's start with the Tigers. Do you look,
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: so what do you think about what they've accomplished, Cole?
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: How do you view the rally against North Carolina? the
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: win on the road against Cal, like how encouraging should
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: that be? Or do we look at the opponents and say, ah,
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: we shouldn't be all that impressed.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: What do you think?
• 18:05
  Speaker 8: You know, I think two things can be true, right?
• 18:07
  Speaker 8: Like you have rallied the troops a little bit. You
• 18:10
  Speaker 8: have played more inspiring football. And if you look at
• 18:14
  Speaker 8: statistically guys, since that LSU game, Clemson statistically defensively has
• 18:19
  Speaker 8: been pretty good. Now, again, going back to what I said,
• 18:22
  Speaker 8: two things can be true. All that's fine and dandy
• 18:25
  Speaker 8: until Miami punches you in the mouth on Saturday night,
• 18:28
  Speaker 8: and then you go back to, oh, wait, who did
• 18:30
  Speaker 8: we play? We played a North Carolina team that was better,
• 18:33
  Speaker 8: not great, Cal that wasn't as good offensively as we
• 18:36
  Speaker 8: thought they would be, and we know the other. So, yes,
• 18:39
  Speaker 8: they have looked better. Clemson's defense specifically, you look at
• 18:43
  Speaker 8: the numbers that they've given up in the past three
• 18:45
  Speaker 8: games overall, under 15 points per game. This Tom Allen defense,
• 18:51
  Speaker 8: the secondary especially, is playing really well. They've got guys
• 18:55
  Speaker 8: that are starting to do what they're supposed to do
• 18:56
  Speaker 8: in this system, and there is confidence. There is momentum. However,
• 19:01
  Speaker 8: you play Miami, and you better be glad you're in
• 19:03
  Speaker 8: the ACC because this would be like life every weekend
• 19:06
  Speaker 8: if you maybe, let's say, were another conference like the
• 19:09
  Speaker 8: SEC where you're You were playing top dogs week in
• 19:12
  Speaker 8: and week out. So they have gotten better, guys. The
• 19:14
  Speaker 8: quarterback's still the question. Tate Reynolds, still a young quarterback.
• 19:18
  Speaker 8: He has looked good at times, but also at times
• 19:20
  Speaker 8: you've seen signs of, yeah, he's a freshman, right? So
• 19:23
  Speaker 8: all of that being said, you're not playing Georgia Southern Saturday.
• 19:28
  Speaker 8: And I think that certainly matters.
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: Cole, when we talk about the Shane Beamer stuff in
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: a few minutes, there's no doubt he's on the hot
• 19:35
  Speaker 6: seat no matter what you think. If he's actually going
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: to get fired now, whatever, he is on the hot seat.
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: Is Dabo considered on the hot seat? What do you
• 19:45
  Speaker 6: think of when you think of Dabo's future? Have the
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: last couple games chilled out that?
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: Talk? What right now is the thought about Dabo going forward?
• 19:53
  Speaker 8: I think the last few games have definitely cooled the conversation.
• 19:57
  Speaker 8: And I'll tell you what else cools that conversation. Like, guys,
• 20:00
  Speaker 8: even after that LSU debacle where Clemson just got the
• 20:03
  Speaker 8: break speed off of them, you know what cooled that conversation,
• 20:06
  Speaker 8: that hot seat conversation, was the buyout. The buyout number
• 20:10
  Speaker 8: cools that conversation. As soon as you bring up Dabo's
• 20:13
  Speaker 8: hot seat conversation, as hot as it could have been
• 20:16
  Speaker 8: after the LSU game, it's cooled right back off with
• 20:18
  Speaker 8: a buyout. And Clemson, you can go read the articles, guys, online.
• 20:22
  Speaker 8: Clemson is a university. Like, they're not in a great
• 20:25
  Speaker 8: financial spot. They're just not. So that conversation is always
• 20:30
  Speaker 8: cooled off when you have a buyout as big as
• 20:32
  Speaker 8: Dabo Sweeney's. They simply cannot afford to do anything with that.
• 20:37
  Speaker 8: And then to your point, yes, the last three games
• 20:40
  Speaker 8: certainly have helped. And anytime you play in a conference
• 20:43
  Speaker 8: where you can get some of these games back and
• 20:45
  Speaker 8: you can bring the fan base back, rally the troops
• 20:49
  Speaker 8: per se. and look good doing it defensively, it certainly
• 20:53
  Speaker 8: does help. And, again, you talk about playing inspiring football.
• 20:56
  Speaker 8: Inspiring football doesn't save your job by any means, but
• 21:00
  Speaker 8: they have played more inspiring football, more complimentary football. So
• 21:04
  Speaker 8: I think his seat is definitely cool compared to what
• 21:07
  Speaker 8: it was after the LSU game. But, guys, even down
• 21:10
  Speaker 8: here after the LSU game, I said on air, like, yeah,
• 21:14
  Speaker 8: y'all may think it's hot, but they're not firing that guy.
• 21:17
  Speaker 8: So it would take him walking away– Again, the best
• 21:20
  Speaker 8: thing for him, he plays in the ACC. Regardless of
• 21:23
  Speaker 8: what happens Saturday, guys, there's still a lot more winnable
• 21:26
  Speaker 8: games on the schedule for Clemson if they can continue
• 21:29
  Speaker 8: to get better offensively. And by the end of the season,
• 21:32
  Speaker 8: Dabo isn't here. Maybe you look up and they've won nine,
• 21:35
  Speaker 8: ten games.
• 21:36
  Speaker 6: Cole, you're a hit on the text line. Someone called
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: you a Southern Mel Kiper.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: Here we go. How about that?
• 21:41
  Speaker 8: Is that a compliment?
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, I took it as that. Yeah, I think so.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: I think that's a good thing. I don't know. Do
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: you have the hair of Kuyper, though?
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: No.
• 21:49
  Speaker 8: Man, my hairline is really, really bad. So I'm looking
• 21:53
  Speaker 8: in the mirror right now, and it does not resemble
• 21:55
  Speaker 8: male Kuyper's hair in any way.
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: Oh man we're talking with cole bryson the fan upstate
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: we're going to get into the gamecocks here in a
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: minute last clemson question from me so okay they're definitely
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: improved it's too much money to fire dabbo what does
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: it all mean for tomorrow night uh seems like you're
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: gonna get some weather i wonder if we if y'all
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: get your like uh 48 delay uh down there of
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: a football game can they hang in the game dabbo
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: said this game's gonna come down to the last play
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: are you with dabbo on that.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: No, I'm not.
• 22:27
  Speaker 8: I'm not with him on that. Guys, this game is
• 22:29
  Speaker 8: going to have to be muddy, ugly, murky. And with
• 22:33
  Speaker 8: the rain and the weather you're talking about, maybe it
• 22:36
  Speaker 8: could be. But guys, even then, it's going to have
• 22:39
  Speaker 8: to be murky, muddy, ugly to the sense of like
• 22:43
  Speaker 8: Clemson stealing possessions. Miami doesn't look like themselves. Because when
• 22:47
  Speaker 8: you look at statistically, going back to the stats for
• 22:50
  Speaker 8: a few minutes, what Clemson's defense has done in the
• 22:52
  Speaker 8: last three games is great. But guys, Miami's offense, let's
• 22:56
  Speaker 8: just compare offenses for a second. I was talking about
• 22:58
  Speaker 8: this on the show yesterday. You compare offenses, Miami's offense
• 23:02
  Speaker 8: versus Clemson's offense. Guys, we're looking at two different worlds.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: Two different sports.
• 23:08
  Speaker 8: Yeah, different sports, right. Quarterback, obviously, Darian Mensah and what
• 23:13
  Speaker 8: Miami's offense can do. Clemson, if this thing turns into
• 23:17
  Speaker 8: any type of a track meet whatsoever, if this thing
• 23:20
  Speaker 8: gets high scoring, Clemson doesn't stand a chance. They just
• 23:23
  Speaker 8: simply can't go toe-to-toe with the offensive firepower that Miami has.
• 23:28
  Speaker 8: So when you talk about how you win this game,
• 23:30
  Speaker 8: how you keep this thing close, you have to muddy
• 23:33
  Speaker 8: it up. You have to steal possessions. I think you
• 23:36
  Speaker 8: look up, and Clemson, sometimes their best defense is going
• 23:39
  Speaker 8: to have to be offense. Like Darion Mensah standing on
• 23:41
  Speaker 8: the sideline sometimes might be your best defense tomorrow night.
• 23:44
  Speaker 8: And this offense, you talk about a young quarterback, that's
• 23:47
  Speaker 8: a tall task, right? Going out and prolonging drives against
• 23:50
  Speaker 8: a good defense, winning early downs, setting yourself up on
• 23:54
  Speaker 8: third and shorts, second and shorts, and being able to
• 23:56
  Speaker 8: sustain drives. If they can do that, if they can
• 23:59
  Speaker 8: get a little help from the weather and the weather
• 24:01
  Speaker 8: gods and anybody else, any other gods they can get
• 24:04
  Speaker 8: help from, it'd be nice. But you just look at
• 24:06
  Speaker 8: what this Miami offense can do, guys. It is on
• 24:09
  Speaker 8: a different planet. That's what worries me. That's what concerns me.
• 24:13
  Speaker 8: If this thing gets high scoring, I don't see any
• 24:16
  Speaker 8: way Clemson can keep pace.
• 24:18
  Speaker 6: Cole, speaking as a Gamecock fan, it's a fan base
• 24:21
  Speaker 6: that is just starving for some form of consistency. With Beamer,
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: there's been some extreme highs, and there's been some low
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: lows like they've experienced here recently. Why do you think
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: it's been so hard for Beamer to find consistency as
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: head coach with this program?
• 24:39
  Speaker 8: You know, you look at the assistant coaches that he's had,
• 24:43
  Speaker 8: and people thought coming into the year, guys, that he
• 24:46
  Speaker 8: finally hit it right. With Kendall Bryles, you bring in
• 24:48
  Speaker 8: Stan Drayton, you bring in a new offensive line coach,
• 24:52
  Speaker 8: three new assistants on this staff. And I've said for
• 24:55
  Speaker 8: years now, for the past couple of years, Shane Beamer,
• 24:58
  Speaker 8: we all know when Dabo Sweeney was at the peak,
• 25:01
  Speaker 8: at the mountaintop, he had guys on the offensive staff
• 25:03
  Speaker 8: that were rolling. He had Brent Venables, right? So like
• 25:07
  Speaker 8: Shane Beamer, when you talk about inconsistency, I don't think
• 25:11
  Speaker 8: he's had the consistency within the staff to help him
• 25:15
  Speaker 8: do his job. And then you look at Shane Beamer himself.
• 25:18
  Speaker 8: He's a what? He's a special teams guy. He's a
• 25:21
  Speaker 8: Beamer ball guy. And I'm not saying I know more
• 25:24
  Speaker 8: football than Shane Beamer. I'm certainly not. But when you get, guys,
• 25:27
  Speaker 8: when you get into big games and big moments and
• 25:30
  Speaker 8: big situations and and your head coach is a special
• 25:34
  Speaker 8: teams coach, are you getting enough out of him during
• 25:37
  Speaker 8: the game to make adjustments and actually fine-tune things during
• 25:42
  Speaker 8: the game? Or is it something where he's having to
• 25:45
  Speaker 8: year in and year out rely on his assistant coaches
• 25:47
  Speaker 8: to do? And I think Kendall Bryles is fine. He's fine.
• 25:51
  Speaker 8: But I just think ultimately it might be too little
• 25:53
  Speaker 8: too late. Guys, they've lost seven straight SEC games. seven
• 25:58
  Speaker 8: and if they lose to Kentucky Saturday you can do
• 26:00
  Speaker 8: the math that's eight by the way and by the
• 26:02
  Speaker 8: way the last SEC opponent they defeated last year was
• 26:05
  Speaker 8: Kentucky so they haven't defeated an SEC opponent since Kentucky
• 26:08
  Speaker 8: last year so the inconsistency a lot of things I
• 26:12
  Speaker 8: would throw in there as to why there's been so
• 26:14
  Speaker 8: many inconsistencies but when you look at this staff they
• 26:18
  Speaker 8: thought this staff could come in immediately in day one
• 26:21
  Speaker 8: with an experienced quarterback experienced receivers and Dylan Stewart. And guys,
• 26:25
  Speaker 8: things have just fallen by the wayside quickly. And if
• 26:28
  Speaker 8: they lose Saturday night, we're sitting here on Sunday looking
• 26:31
  Speaker 8: at our phones. Refresh, refresh, refresh.
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: Do you think they still have a job? There's no doubt.
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: But with all that said, though, I kind of feel like,
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: I think Kentucky's getting a bit overrated because they beat up.
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: Their big win is against a Texas A & M
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: team that I don't think is really worth a crap. Um,
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: but so I kind of feel like my, this might
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: be their moment Cole, where they kind of rise up
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: in front of the home crowd and get that win
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: and maybe calm things down. But bone brings up a
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: good point. Even if things calm down for a week,
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: you got to go to Gainesville next week. What, like,
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: what do you, what do you think about, about, about
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: tomorrow night?
• 27:06
  Speaker 8: That's a good point. Life in the SEC, going back
• 27:08
  Speaker 8: to Clemson a few minutes ago, life in the SEC
• 27:10
  Speaker 8: is brutal, right? It's a slap in the face.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: You're right.
• 27:13
  Speaker 8: Gainesville is not going to be easy, but even if
• 27:15
  Speaker 8: they do win tomorrow, which I agree with you, I
• 27:18
  Speaker 8: think they have a very good chance. If you're going
• 27:21
  Speaker 8: to come out and you're a quarterback who you're paying
• 27:23
  Speaker 8: a lot of money to, and I know you don't
• 27:25
  Speaker 8: have Dylan Stewart tomorrow, but you're paying a lot of
• 27:28
  Speaker 8: money to your quarterback, and he's been there now three years.
• 27:30
  Speaker 8: If you expect him to come out and have that
• 27:33
  Speaker 8: game and have the game where he can rally the troops,
• 27:36
  Speaker 8: get a win, you're right. Maybe Kentucky's a little overvalued
• 27:40
  Speaker 8: at this point. It's a good team, different Kentucky team
• 27:42
  Speaker 8: than they saw last year, but I still think when
• 27:45
  Speaker 8: you look at South Carolina and the weapons they have,
• 27:47
  Speaker 8: especially at quarterback, This is the game where you expect, okay,
• 27:51
  Speaker 8: it's been tough. You're 2-2. But if you're going to
• 27:54
  Speaker 8: have that game, this is the game to do it.
• 27:57
  Speaker 8: You mentioned the home crowd. You mentioned Kentucky being a
• 28:00
  Speaker 8: better team, but not like the team you're going to
• 28:03
  Speaker 8: face next week. So, obviously, there's opportunity. What worries me, guys,
• 28:06
  Speaker 8: is Kentucky is running the ball. They're playing with confidence.
• 28:10
  Speaker 8: Tomorrow night, like you've got to remember a week ago,
• 28:12
  Speaker 8: Kentucky guys only for the second time ever in program
• 28:15
  Speaker 8: history had three guys at running back position. all go
• 28:18
  Speaker 8: for over 100 yards in the same game. So they're
• 28:21
  Speaker 8: running the football. And if you come into Williams-Brice and
• 28:24
  Speaker 8: you can dampen that crowd and you can run the
• 28:26
  Speaker 8: football and you can take that crowd out of it,
• 28:28
  Speaker 8: who knows? I'm not saying Kentucky wins. I'm just saying
• 28:32
  Speaker 8: it's not a foregone conclusion that South Carolina does win
• 28:35
  Speaker 8: this game. I think your quarterback, who you're paying a
• 28:38
  Speaker 8: lot of money to, has to be the guy tomorrow
• 28:41
  Speaker 8: night that puts a Superman cape on and puts this
• 28:43
  Speaker 8: team on his back, whatever it takes. and figures out
• 28:46
  Speaker 8: a way to win this game for the Gamecocks because he,
• 28:48
  Speaker 8: let's just be honest, he hasn't done that this year.
• 28:50
  Speaker 8: He wasn't great last year. He regressed last year. And
• 28:53
  Speaker 8: it's time for Lenora Sellers tomorrow night to be the
• 28:55
  Speaker 8: guy you're paying all that money to.
• 28:57
  Speaker 6: It's also a grumpy crowd, potentially. One early score by Kentucky,
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: one Lenore's bad throw. That's a crowd waiting to pounce
• 29:04
  Speaker 6: on the product that they're seeing. Get that crowd on
• 29:07
  Speaker 6: your side early. Gamecocks, please.
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: If not, they'll be chanting Fire Beamer to your point
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: bone in no time. He is Cole Bryson. If you're
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: in the upstate, listen to him on the fan upstate.
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: He is killing it. Thank you, Cole.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: Appreciate you, man.
• 29:22
  Speaker 8: Thanks, guys. You guys rock. Thanks, Cole.
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: You rock also.
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: There you go. That is Cole Bryson. A whole lot
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: of rocking going on here. Let's bring in another man
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: that rocks. I would never say a bad word about him,
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: would never raise my voice to him.
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: He was rock and troll. Fitty Marlon. What up, Aloysius?
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: What's going on over there, Fitt? Fitty. You are such
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: a sad little bald man.
• 29:57
  Speaker 7: That's evidence, Mac, that you do say bad things and
• 29:59
  Speaker 7: mean things about me.
• 30:01
  Speaker 6: I do.
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: I say hurtful things.
• 30:02
  Speaker 7: I'm sorry. And to me, really quickly, we've got one
• 30:05
  Speaker 7: more family four-pack of tickets to give away to next
• 30:08
  Speaker 7: Sunday's race at Charlotte Motor Speedway. I need you to
• 30:12
  Speaker 7: text the keyword... PIT to 704-570-9610. The keyword is PIT.
• 30:20
  Speaker 7: That'll get you registered your chance to win a family
• 30:23
  Speaker 7: four-packet tickets to next week's Bank of America 400. They're
• 30:27
  Speaker 7: back on the oval for the fall race. Should be
• 30:30
  Speaker 7: a great time out at the racetrack. Hopefully, I last
• 30:33
  Speaker 7: longer at this race than I did back in the
• 30:36
  Speaker 7: summer at the Coca-Cola 600. But text that keyword to
• 30:39
  Speaker 7: the text line. We'll get you registered your chance to
• 30:42
  Speaker 7: win a family four-pack of tickets.
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 30:44
  Speaker 6: I also just realized it was two weeks today on
• 30:46
  Speaker 6: a football Friday early in the show where Max said
• 30:50
  Speaker 6: off the air to Fitty, quote, let me smack that
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: fat face.
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: Why am I not in? Why on Fridays are you
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: melting down towards Fitty? Shouldn't I be in a better mood, Fitty,
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: on Friday? You would think, man. Or has he warned
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: you to have by that point?
• 31:00
  Speaker 6: No.
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: Because you have him on Sunday also, right, for the
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: pregame show?
• 31:05
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but Sunday, I'm the best version of myself on Sunday.
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: That is true. I love Panther pregame. He's very professional
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: on Sundays. How do we get that guy? I know.
• 31:15
  Speaker 6: When we come back, it's an Ask the Audience, Matt,
• 31:18
  Speaker 6: brought to you by QC Mechanical, your local HVAC experts.
• 31:23
  Speaker 6: It's an important Panther uniform question. We've also got potential
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: big reality TV news for Charlotte. That shivered my timbers.
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: Sports Radio, 92.7 WFNZ. Sports Radio, 92.7 WFNZ.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: A listener has just added....

• 32:20
  Speaker 5: if you could send us quick text on this Weigh in.
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: We'll read off some of your responses. And Ask the
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: Audience is brought to you by... Yeah, as always, Ask
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: the Audience, audience. Ask the Audience, courtesy of QC Mechanical,
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: local HVAC experts. Obviously, it's Ask the Audience, audience, not
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: a word that I'm aware of. You might have created
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: a new one there, man.
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: I don't know. All right, let's ask the questions, Bone.
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: I want to start with this one.
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: I'm kind of a Panther uniform combination dork. This is
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: one of the things I like that Tepper has done
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: is we have so many different uniform combos that we
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: could actually wear. So we are, it's a matter of fact,
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: we probably hadn't said this enough. The Panthers want to
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: do essentially a blackout on Sunday night. Wear all your
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: black out there. It might be black rain gear, but
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: wear your black to the game. They want that stadium
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: to kind of have that blackout feel. The game's not
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: blacked out like the Seaford years.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: No, it's not.
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: So I want to throw that out there. But they're
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: tying it with the fact they're wearing all black. Black helmets.
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: black jerseys, black pants, all that. So I want to
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: ask you bone to, well, I'll just say this. That
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: is my personal favorite Panthers uniform combination. Everything is black.
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: I absolutely love it. I think it looks bad-ass. So
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: I asked you guys and I asked the audience, what
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: is the, what is y'all's favorite Panther uniform combination?
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: What do you think?
• 33:48
  Speaker 6: I have two that stand out. It's not yours. I
• 33:52
  Speaker 6: like it when they wear processed blue jerseys, whether it's
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: with silver pants, white pants.
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: What about black pants? I do. I do. I like the.
• 34:01
  Speaker 6: Processed blue jerseys the best. So anything involving that jersey color,
• 34:05
  Speaker 6: I'm in for it. That processed blue does pop. Like
• 34:08
  Speaker 6: I thought, oh, this won't be that different.
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: It feels– it's poppy. I like that. I like that.
• 34:12
  Speaker 6: I've also– become keen on. I like it when they
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: wear the white jersey black pants combo.
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: It's different. It's newish compared to some of their combos.
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: I like that combo. Yeah, that's all right. I like
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: to process blue black pants and black helmet. I like that.
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: Fitty, what if it is going to go silver helmet?
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: We've already thought about this one in the past. What
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: is your favorite uni combo fit?
• 34:36
  Speaker 7: Silver helmet, black top, silver pants.
• 34:39
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 34:39
  Speaker 7: Just the traditional look. It still pops. We don't need
• 34:44
  Speaker 7: to be black on black on black. I don't like
• 34:47
  Speaker 7: the processing blue. I like the old teal from back
• 34:49
  Speaker 7: in the old days. Just stick to what was working.
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: I think all this is working, though. I think we're
• 34:55
  Speaker 5: in such a better uniform situation with.
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: All these combinations. I don't think so. The jersey on
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: Sunday was gross. Silver helmet, white jersey, blue pants.
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: Why?
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: Why was the jersey gross? It's because the blue pants
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: don't look right with the white jersey. So the combination
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: was gross, is what you're saying.
• 35:12
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: Also, the Panther logo at midfield.
• 35:15
  Speaker 8: Gross.
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: Go back to the shield. Oh, my Lord. All right.
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: That was not an ask the audience question.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: Sorry.
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: You interjected. Bad QB. Real positive text here. They should
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: wear trash bags. All right. That's great.
• 35:26
  Speaker 7: Thanks.
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: Bad QB evaluator. Good attitude out there. They like the
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: blue out. Bad QB evaluator. The old color rush from the...
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: Game against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving. I like that once
• 35:38
  Speaker 5: in a while. I wouldn't want that a whole lot.
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: I think it's a specialized thing. Cowboys never want to
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: see that again. Kevin says all black makes you look slow.
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: Coy in Greensboro also likes blue color rush. Coach Pauly,
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: black helmet, white top, black pants. Has that happened?
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: I think it has.
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: Which one again? I know black pants and white top
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: has happened. I'm trying to remember here. With the black
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: helmet would be my only question there. But I think
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: that's pretty solid. I just like the variety, Bone. I
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: like the fact that they can break out a variety
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: and it's not just two combinations.
• 36:17
  Speaker 6: The Tepper era has done a much better job of
• 36:20
  Speaker 6: mixing and matching the combos. And the Richardson era mag
• 36:23
  Speaker 6: was very, very... Basic and repetitive and over and over
• 36:27
  Speaker 6: and over and over.
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: With the NFL logo, too. You talk about bad logos.
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: Just sitting there with a damn NFL shield.
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: You kidding me? Are we the Carolina NFLers? Are we
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: the NFL Panthers?
• 36:38
  Speaker 7: The field looked better with that than the Panther logo.
• 36:41
  Speaker 7: The Panther logo looks misplaced. I said it last week
• 36:44
  Speaker 7: or two weeks ago. You want to have the logo
• 36:46
  Speaker 7: up midfield? Put the helmet up midfield like a third
• 36:49
  Speaker 7: of the NFL does.
• 36:49
  Speaker 6: You don't need the logo to look like Rob Lowe's
• 36:52
  Speaker 6: hat from that time you wore the NFL hat in
• 36:54
  Speaker 6: the stands.
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: All right. Anyway, let's move along.
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: Randy in Orlando says color rush with black helmets, um,
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: all black and processed and all processed blue is complainer
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: in chief, uh, silver helmet, black Jersey, black pants, uh,
• 37:09
  Speaker 5: for Labradoodle. See, that's the cool thing is you have
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: all these options.
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 37:13
  Speaker 6: Let's Ryan says, what about bubble wrap jerseys? I guess
• 37:18
  Speaker 6: to keep our guys healthier.
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: I got you. It took a while. It took a
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: while for my brain to figure that out. Took a while.
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: Took a while. All right.
• 37:24
  Speaker 5: Here's my next question. A lister said this, and I just,
• 37:28
  Speaker 5: this is not, this ain't happening, is it? A texter
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: said Lions fans will take over the stadium. So I
• 37:34
  Speaker 5: ask you all this question. They kind of wear the
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: same colors, though.
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: We might not know.
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: That is true. That is definitely true. The Lions are
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: not a takeover fan base, are they? I don't think so.
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: I didn't think Minnesota was that one time either, though.
• 37:49
  Speaker 5: And they were coming in on their motorcycles. But that
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: was in worse times, right?
• 37:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 37:54
  Speaker 5: Like, I would hope that y'all ain't so down in
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: your dumps right now about the injury as were the
• 37:59
  Speaker 5: reigning South champs.
• 38:00
  Speaker 6: I would think that they're not. I guess not. Sunday
• 38:05
  Speaker 6: night game. You know, it's not like it's not a
• 38:07
  Speaker 6: good travel. It's not the holidays where you can make
• 38:10
  Speaker 6: a whole.
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I would think not.
• 38:11
  Speaker 5: I mean, I remember going to the game when on
• 38:14
  Speaker 5: Christmas Eve, when it was cold as hell. I don't
• 38:17
  Speaker 5: remember really feeling like, man, there's a lot of Lions
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: fans around.
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: You weren't feeling a whole lot that day. You know,
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: didn't even know I still had berries down there. They
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: were numb.
• 38:26
  Speaker 6: Your man bits just thawed out.
• 38:30
  Speaker 5: But you were a matter of fact, were you down
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: there before that game?
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: The Lions game?
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: No, I was at home. Oh, okay. There was one
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: game where you joined us for the pregame. I don't remember.
• 38:40
  Speaker 6: It wasn't that, because remember, that is when that was
• 38:43
  Speaker 6: like four degrees outside, five degrees. There was a purposeful
• 38:50
  Speaker 6: power outage. Remember in Mooresville, and I guess around Charlotte,
• 38:53
  Speaker 6: I guess, they were turning off the power on purpose.
• 38:56
  Speaker 6: to try to like save the grid. So that whole,
• 38:58
  Speaker 6: that whole lead up to that game, I had no power.
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 39:01
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Me and Mabel were cuddling for a while.
• 39:05
  Speaker 5: This texture says, my friend works at the airport, says
• 39:07
  Speaker 5: a bunch of Lions fans have just.
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: Landed here in Charlotte.
• 39:12
  Speaker 8: Oh no.
• 39:13
  Speaker 5: This Dr. Suave, Lions taken over our trap. Brian says,
• 39:18
  Speaker 5: Bone made the point. The good thing about the Lions
• 39:20
  Speaker 5: is even if they take over, no one will know
• 39:23
  Speaker 5: because of the colors.
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 39:25
  Speaker 6: There will be, I will say, at the doghouse, mac
• 39:29
  Speaker 6: i'm guessing you will see some barry sanders jerseys though
• 39:32
  Speaker 6: You will see some Barry Sanders.
• 39:33
  Speaker 5: I respect a good Barry Sanders jersey. I just don't
• 39:35
  Speaker 5: need to see too much Lions gear. I don't need
• 39:37
  Speaker 5: to see Scott Mitchell jerseys, too.
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean? All right, last question. Ask
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: the audience.
• 39:43
  Speaker 5: And really, this is an Ask Bone, too, as much
• 39:45
  Speaker 5: as anything, because you're a connoisseur of the Real Housewives show.
• 39:48
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 39:49
  Speaker 5: There is the Charlotte Paparazzi Twitter account was talking about
• 39:53
  Speaker 5: the rumors they're hearing about a Charlotte version of Real Housewives.
• 39:57
  Speaker 5: And then this week there was a very cryptic reality show, like,
• 40:02
  Speaker 5: you know, looking for the finest women in Charlotte. Like
• 40:06
  Speaker 5: there was a, a like ad for reality show casting
• 40:09
  Speaker 5: for the finest, most fabulous.
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: That's what it was.
• 40:12
  Speaker 5: Most fabulous women in Charlotte. And they were wondering, is
• 40:15
  Speaker 5: this Real Housewives Charlotte? Do you want Real Housewives in
• 40:20
  Speaker 5: our town, Bo?
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: I'm wondering how many women.
• 40:23
  Speaker 6: Of NASCAR, like wives and girlfriends, may end up involved
• 40:26
  Speaker 6: in a show like that, potentially.
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: I don't want that here. No?
• 40:31
  Speaker 5: No.
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: Oh, my God. I think it's too close to the fire.
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: It's a home game.
• 40:35
  Speaker 6: I'd have to really kind of figure out, are they
• 40:38
  Speaker 6: going to embarrass our city?
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Well, yes.
• 40:41
  Speaker 6: I think that's the answer, isn't it? I like to
• 40:43
  Speaker 6: be far away from the scene of the housewives' crimes.
• 40:46
  Speaker 6: I don't need to be right here, Mac. I'm also
• 40:48
  Speaker 6: going to try to figure out, where are they on
• 40:50
  Speaker 6: the screen? Where are they doing? What restaurant is that?
• 40:52
  Speaker 6: It's going to be a lot of pressure. I don't
• 40:55
  Speaker 6: want the housewives' home game. Let them go to other cities.
• 40:57
  Speaker 8: Wow.
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: I don't want it here. See, I want this so badly.
• 41:01
  Speaker 5: First of all, I have no interest in usually no
• 41:04
  Speaker 5: interest in watching these rich, spoiled women act like words
• 41:08
  Speaker 5: I can't say on the radio. I have no interest
• 41:10
  Speaker 5: in it whatsoever. Like they're just entitled. They're spoiled. They're elitist.
• 41:14
  Speaker 5: They got such horrible attitudes. Like I just that's not
• 41:17
  Speaker 5: really my speed. But I would be very curious, Bone,
• 41:21
  Speaker 5: to see those versions here in Charlotte. I'd be extremely like,
• 41:25
  Speaker 5: who are our versions of those women? Who are our
• 41:29
  Speaker 5: versions of those horrible pain in the rear ends?
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: Let's be honest.
• 41:32
  Speaker 6: I'll watch it, and I'll be into it, but I'd
• 41:35
  Speaker 6: prefer it just to be other places and not too
• 41:38
  Speaker 6: close to the fire. Although I will say, Mac, check
• 41:40
  Speaker 6: out the new show, Team. That's T-E-A-M, not teen. Team
• 41:45
  Speaker 6: Moms Baseball on Paramount +. The inner workings of a
• 41:51
  Speaker 6: specialized baseball academy in Arizona with the rich moms and
• 41:55
  Speaker 6: rich parents and how they act. It's a Kim Kardashian vehicle.
• 41:59
