WEBVTT - Mac & Bone Hour 4: Willie P & Danielle Stein 0:00:07.920 --> 0:00:10.040 Allow me to reintroduce myself. 0:00:10.100 --> 0:00:11.780 My name is... I'm Will Pelagic. 0:00:11.800 --> 0:00:16.980 Oh, jeez. 0:00:18.520 --> 0:00:21.380 We're having fun off the air, too. Slightly different discussion, 0:00:21.480 --> 0:00:23.340 but having fun off the air. We're going to have 0:00:23.400 --> 0:00:26.400 fun on the air right now. The P-Man is in 0:00:26.440 --> 0:00:28.360 the house. He is in the building, literally. 0:00:28.040 --> 0:00:28.480 In the building. 0:00:28.500 --> 0:00:31.900 He's going to fill in again for Colin. Are you 0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:34.680 doing Charlotte sports today, every day, the rest of the week? 0:00:34.740 --> 0:00:37.920 Just tomorrow. I think he's back Friday. Okay, so today 0:00:38.020 --> 0:00:38.440 and tomorrow. 0:00:38.460 --> 0:00:41.589 All right, sweet, man. That is cool. I tried to compliment. 0:00:41.610 --> 0:00:43.350 Did you hear when I tried to compliment you earlier? 0:00:43.650 --> 0:00:44.450 Which time? 0:00:44.550 --> 0:00:48.030 And it backfired. I was saying, basically, we're stalling because 0:00:48.090 --> 0:00:50.320 Westy was late. His alarm clock had a problem with 0:00:50.340 --> 0:00:51.260 his alarm clock in Columbus. 0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:52.659 You know what that means? Westy's going to score tonight 0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:53.480 because he was late for y'all. 0:00:54.140 --> 0:00:55.660 Got a little extra rest. I like that. 0:00:56.100 --> 0:00:59.210 But I brought up your comment. You said people say, 0:00:59.700 --> 0:01:01.140 And those boys are giving you a hard time. They 0:01:01.180 --> 0:01:02.900 must not like you. And I was explaining it's the 0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:05.610 complete opposite. We can have fun with you, even though 0:01:05.620 --> 0:01:07.110 we get mad at each other. We can have fun 0:01:07.170 --> 0:01:10.370 on the air. And I like that. And then I started... 0:01:10.050 --> 0:01:13.530 How did I get into this? Somehow, it led to Bone... 0:01:14.130 --> 0:01:16.410 Me and Fitty are tied as his number one co-workers. 0:01:16.430 --> 0:01:16.710 Oh, yeah. 0:01:16.870 --> 0:01:19.819 I still said my guys are my two favorite co-workers. 0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:21.860 And Bone was upset he didn't rank number one. I 0:01:21.860 --> 0:01:25.890 just thought after two decades, I'd have a... solidified number 0:01:25.970 --> 0:01:28.590 one ranking no offense to finney i just thought just 0:01:28.660 --> 0:01:29.679 based off all we've done. 0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:33.200 Together in this two decades in max attempt for diplomacy 0:01:33.260 --> 0:01:35.160 he has now caused consternation i know that's. 0:01:35.020 --> 0:01:36.900 What i'm saying i tried to be switzerland on it 0:01:36.940 --> 0:01:38.160 man it backfired on. 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:40.100 Me i respect the effort but i thought even finney 0:01:40.140 --> 0:01:42.580 would say bones probably number one he did said he 0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:43.280 didn't want. 0:01:43.060 --> 0:01:45.420 That this is this is not knowing your personnel mac 0:01:45.500 --> 0:01:46.940 you have to know your personnel you have to know 0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:49.050 that that One of them is very sensitive. 0:01:49.190 --> 0:01:49.510 Exactly. 0:01:49.530 --> 0:01:51.650 He needs adulation. And you know that 50 probably just 0:01:51.690 --> 0:01:53.950 doesn't care. He doesn't have to be here. 0:01:54.620 --> 0:01:55.380 Exactly. 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:56.000 Wait, wait, wait. 0:01:56.060 --> 0:01:58.860 I'm the sensitive one? I just want, I just, I 0:01:59.100 --> 0:02:02.200 thought I earned that ranking. You've looked yourself in the mirror. Yes, Bone. 0:02:02.220 --> 0:02:03.040 I earned that ranking. 0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:05.670 And then Bone spits out that Willie ranks sixth on 0:02:05.710 --> 0:02:06.950 his co-worker rankings. 0:02:07.010 --> 0:02:07.390 Or fifth? 0:02:07.450 --> 0:02:09.850 Where did you rank Willie? No, he's top five. You're 0:02:09.889 --> 0:02:14.940 not top five. I have you as co-number one. I 0:02:14.970 --> 0:02:17.000 never said you were my top five. I can't even 0:02:17.020 --> 0:02:18.060 be in the top five. 0:02:18.620 --> 0:02:18.959 Oh, man. 0:02:18.980 --> 0:02:19.860 All right, P-Man. 0:02:19.900 --> 0:02:21.639 I've got Mark with a C, James, number three. 0:02:22.419 --> 0:02:23.860 Before we get into Charlotte FC. 0:02:23.900 --> 0:02:24.560 Oh, the only one there. 0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:28.220 Oh, there are so many questions about where Mark James 0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:30.000 ranked among our co-workers all time. 0:02:30.020 --> 0:02:31.530 That list is sponsored by Orange Julius. 0:02:32.370 --> 0:02:34.930 All right, before we get into Charlotte FC, because it 0:02:34.990 --> 0:02:37.810 is a match day today against Columbus, I do want 0:02:37.830 --> 0:02:39.910 to ask you about something we talked about last hour. 0:02:40.550 --> 0:02:43.030 The panther fan kind of paranoia about. 0:02:42.830 --> 0:02:45.770 This game and i do get it it's like when 0:02:45.830 --> 0:02:49.280 you look at a matchup and say like they're wounded 0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:52.340 we're starting to get some guys back we're the better 0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:54.500 team we should win it's going to lead to some 0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:56.400 panther fans feeling like oh no we're going to mess 0:02:56.419 --> 0:02:58.419 this up how do you do you feel that kind 0:02:58.460 --> 0:03:00.640 of worry about the eagles could rise up in this 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:01.400 game well. 0:03:01.380 --> 0:03:03.660 Last time i was confident about a game going uh 0:03:03.740 --> 0:03:05.660 into the panthers and the eagles it was lock city 0:03:05.710 --> 0:03:08.210 and uh I don't want to relive what happened when 0:03:08.250 --> 0:03:08.670 I did that. 0:03:08.750 --> 0:03:10.630 So much for. 0:03:10.590 --> 0:03:12.010 That 3-0 start that year, bro. 0:03:12.460 --> 0:03:16.600 Anytime I see the. 0:03:15.100 --> 0:03:15.390 Eagles, I. 0:03:17.460 --> 0:03:20.530 I get a little scar tissue there. But at the 0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:22.650 same point in time, I do think there's reason to 0:03:22.669 --> 0:03:25.410 have optimism. I'm not very in love with their skill 0:03:25.430 --> 0:03:28.210 position talent right now because of all the injuries. You know, 0:03:28.250 --> 0:03:31.970 not having Bigsby, not having Shipley. Their wide receiver room 0:03:32.030 --> 0:03:33.590 is also depleted a little bit as well. I mean, 0:03:33.610 --> 0:03:36.210 they still have Dallas Gardner, which is somebody who can 0:03:36.350 --> 0:03:40.160 really punish the Panther defense, although... You think about what 0:03:40.180 --> 0:03:42.130 Devin Lloyd has done. He's really changed the way that 0:03:42.150 --> 0:03:44.510 they play defense at the linebacker position. That could help 0:03:44.910 --> 0:03:47.890 the Panthers as well, along with Bobby Okereke. And I 0:03:47.930 --> 0:03:49.430 think they'll be able to score a little bit. I 0:03:49.450 --> 0:03:51.110 know that Pavel won't score as much as they did 0:03:51.170 --> 0:03:54.550 say against the Lions or even the Bears, but I 0:03:54.590 --> 0:03:56.960 do think there's a situation where you have to at 0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:59.400 least like the Panthers a lot more going into this 0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:01.520 game than I think you would have thought going into 0:04:01.540 --> 0:04:01.860 the year. 0:04:02.260 --> 0:04:04.540 I don't think it's an automatic winnable. 0:04:04.260 --> 0:04:05.940 Game, but I don't think it's one where you look 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:07.840 at it and say the Panthers don't have an opportunity 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:09.080 to come and upset the apple cart here. 0:04:09.340 --> 0:04:12.150 How sustainable do you think the offensive start is with 0:04:12.230 --> 0:04:13.160 Bryce and the fellas? 0:04:13.380 --> 0:04:15.720 I think because of so much that so much has 0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:20.000 happened against Bryce. has given them the ability to have 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:22.600 it be sustainable. The fact that he is completing all 0:04:22.620 --> 0:04:25.839 these passes against a significant amount of pressure, the offensive 0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:27.820 line not being as stout as you would have liked 0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:31.960 it to be, and also just having the wide receiver 0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:34.200 unit also be a little bit depleted. Schrappe and I 0:04:34.220 --> 0:04:37.040 were talking about this yesterday, and he says part of 0:04:37.060 --> 0:04:39.760 the reason he thinks that Bryce, number one, deserves the 0:04:39.820 --> 0:04:42.460 money and it can be sustainable is that you're going 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:44.220 to have to make cuts somewhere, and you know you 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:48.460 have high-priced guards. You have high-priced pieces across the offensive 0:04:48.779 --> 0:04:50.820 part of it. They're probably going to have to take 0:04:50.860 --> 0:04:54.100 the hit somewhere in order to pay Bryce. As a 0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:57.860 result of that, you know that Bryce, because of what 0:04:57.900 --> 0:05:00.400 he's done over the first four weeks with a deficient 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:03.930 offensive line, And with really two of his three wide receivers, 0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:06.710 top wide receivers out of the lineup, he's still doing 0:05:06.750 --> 0:05:08.970 this and putting up these kind of numbers. That, I think, 0:05:09.010 --> 0:05:11.090 is the most encouraging part of what Bryce has done 0:05:11.510 --> 0:05:12.930 and part of the reason why I think the offensive 0:05:12.950 --> 0:05:15.150 numbers can be sustainable. Think about also the fact that 0:05:15.510 --> 0:05:17.680 outside of two halves, we really haven't seen a sustained 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:18.300 running game either. 0:05:19.020 --> 0:05:19.859 I think there's a. 0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:21.540 Lot of reason to think that this can not only 0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:24.680 sustain where it's been, but even also improve once they 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:25.300 get pieces back. 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:25.790 I like it. 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:26.599 I like it, P-Man. 0:05:26.620 --> 0:05:27.040 Well said. 0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:30.320 Maybe we ought to move him up in the rankings, Bo. Four. 0:05:30.500 --> 0:05:33.350 He's on the four now. Someone asked a great question 0:05:33.410 --> 0:05:34.110 for P-Man. 0:05:34.130 --> 0:05:34.610 Great question. 0:05:34.650 --> 0:05:37.690 No one has asked P-Man this. Who is his favorite co-worker? 0:05:38.070 --> 0:05:38.790 I answered it for you. 0:05:38.830 --> 0:05:39.190 Anna Witte. 0:05:40.029 --> 0:05:40.270 Sure. 0:05:40.490 --> 0:05:41.369 Absolutely. Okay. 0:05:41.610 --> 0:05:42.350 Okay. 0:05:42.470 --> 0:05:44.770 And I would, I mean, obviously Fitty, Fitty's my dude, 0:05:44.850 --> 0:05:47.420 you know, I'm a shamby pal. Always seems like it. 0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:49.219 Oh my God. Yeah. That's interesting. 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:50.240 Fitty's my shamby pal. 0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:51.159 So what is, okay. 0:05:51.420 --> 0:05:53.080 How is that possible? 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:56.060 So y'all are kind of like that couple that is 0:05:56.190 --> 0:05:56.790 love or hate. 0:05:56.910 --> 0:05:59.909 Like what? Cause when you guys have fallouts, it gets ugly. 0:06:00.540 --> 0:06:04.180 I mean, we have our disagreements. We have our consternation. 0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:06.400 But I think at the end of the day, we 0:06:06.660 --> 0:06:08.940 hug it out and we're happy with each other. 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:10.660 Can I tell you what it is? Fitty's got an 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:15.040 ability to bother and pester and annoy. But Fitty also 0:06:15.060 --> 0:06:17.460 has the ability to also suck up like no other also. 0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:20.860 He's got this dual threat ability. He will get in 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:23.540 the muck with you and annoy you. But then when 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:25.300 he comes in in the morning, hey, Travis, how are you? 0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:27.660 What's going on, man? You see it downstairs when he 0:06:27.700 --> 0:06:28.400 comes in. 0:06:28.660 --> 0:06:29.520 Fitty's greatest. 0:06:30.490 --> 0:06:33.090 if I can call it a deficiency, is that he 0:06:33.130 --> 0:06:35.729 feels the need to know everything. And he needs to 0:06:35.770 --> 0:06:38.130 make you know that he knows everything. And sometimes the 0:06:38.180 --> 0:06:40.920 things that he knows come out in inopportune times. 0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:43.680 That's all it is. And they come out of his backside. 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:46.180 I love the way we're talking about Finney like he's 0:06:46.220 --> 0:06:47.560 not in the room right now. 0:06:47.580 --> 0:06:48.540 I always pretend like he's not. 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:52.760 Hey, guys. Fit does have a heart of gold. He 0:06:52.779 --> 0:06:54.960 just doesn't show it all the time. You know what 0:06:54.980 --> 0:06:56.659 I mean? Sometimes he shows his ass. 0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:57.200 I think. 0:06:59.060 --> 0:07:00.150 Other times he shows his heart. 0:07:00.170 --> 0:07:02.430 I think Matty Patty has softened him a little bit. 0:07:02.450 --> 0:07:04.849 Oh, how about that? It might be happening. It might 0:07:04.890 --> 0:07:06.190 be happening. All right. 0:07:06.270 --> 0:07:08.650 Let's see. Where were we? Anna probably has to be 0:07:08.690 --> 0:07:10.210 first just because I work on her on the most 0:07:10.250 --> 0:07:10.800 close-up issues. 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:13.020 Yeah, plus she is 50 times more likable than all 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:14.720 of us. You know what I mean? Let's call it 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:15.220 what it is. 0:07:15.260 --> 0:07:16.180 She was number one on our list. 0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:18.620 I got no problem with that. All right, so let's 0:07:18.660 --> 0:07:23.730 talk about FC. Tonight they got Columbus. There are some permutations, right, 0:07:23.750 --> 0:07:26.130 where they win and they get a couple results and 0:07:26.150 --> 0:07:26.870 they get into playoffs. 0:07:26.890 --> 0:07:29.570 There's like three different things that have to happen. It's 0:07:30.190 --> 0:07:32.850 always the first time it comes up. It's usually one 0:07:32.870 --> 0:07:35.380 of those things where it's like, You got to have 50,000. 0:07:35.370 --> 0:07:37.500 It's just a matter of time, but we need seating. 0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:41.460 We need a, we need home playoff advantage. Again, we 0:07:41.500 --> 0:07:42.480 need to advance. 0:07:42.860 --> 0:07:43.840 Like, let's start there. 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:46.180 I said this to Westy and Westy said, I agree 0:07:46.220 --> 0:07:48.380 with you, but he also said, you know, I want 0:07:48.420 --> 0:07:50.670 a trophy. He says, I'm not really happy until I 0:07:50.690 --> 0:07:53.890 get the, get a trophy. So I will ask you like, 0:07:54.690 --> 0:07:58.320 to me as an FC fan, win a round in 0:07:58.340 --> 0:08:01.240 the playoffs like i'm not even asking for anything huge 0:08:01.300 --> 0:08:03.840 it's just they can't it's going to be seen as 0:08:03.900 --> 0:08:06.830 an astronomical disappointment if they bow out in round one. 0:08:06.810 --> 0:08:08.630 Again they have to get beyond the first round i 0:08:08.670 --> 0:08:12.470 think but i also believe that when you get past 0:08:12.510 --> 0:08:16.050 the first round it becomes a singular knockout tournament then 0:08:16.090 --> 0:08:17.880 i think everything's on the table i mean i i 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:21.500 wouldn't Maybe this is me sounding selfish. I want to 0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:24.720 win two rounds. I want to get to a conference final. 0:08:24.780 --> 0:08:28.950 I want to get deep in this postseason because I 0:08:29.010 --> 0:08:32.650 think the biggest part of this, from my perspective, is 0:08:32.690 --> 0:08:35.089 that Charlotte FC has got a lot of guys who 0:08:35.110 --> 0:08:38.489 are on expiring contracts right now. This core, I'm not 0:08:38.510 --> 0:08:39.490 going to sit here and say it's going to get 0:08:39.510 --> 0:08:42.929 broken up, but this core is probably playing one of 0:08:42.970 --> 0:08:45.850 its last rounds together. when you think about a lot 0:08:45.870 --> 0:08:47.910 of these guys who are aging and those kinds of things, 0:08:47.929 --> 0:08:49.390 they're going to have to make some tough decisions on 0:08:49.410 --> 0:08:52.260 some guys. And you might have to take a step 0:08:52.300 --> 0:08:54.180 back in order to replenish a lot of those assets 0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:57.459 in the sprint season and even beyond. So my whole 0:08:57.480 --> 0:08:59.480 thing is this, the reason they go out and get 0:08:59.500 --> 0:09:01.440 a guy like an Abdullahi Decore is because they think 0:09:01.460 --> 0:09:05.650 they can win now. And while we've talked about Nashville 0:09:05.670 --> 0:09:07.170 being kind of far and away the best team in 0:09:07.210 --> 0:09:09.849 the East, I don't think they're unbeatable. I don't think 0:09:09.950 --> 0:09:14.710 any team, in the path of Charlotte FC is unbeatable. 0:09:14.860 --> 0:09:16.679 So I think they feel like they can have a 0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:19.020 genuine opportunity to go and do something special with this team. 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:21.679 And I think also they've proven since the World Cup 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:24.220 break they've beaten everybody except Chicago. 0:09:24.300 --> 0:09:25.240 I know. 0:09:25.420 --> 0:09:27.600 Who I don't want to play in the playoffs. 0:09:27.780 --> 0:09:30.599 I'm not as scared of Chicago as I normally would 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:32.600 be in a situation where Charlotte's lost to them twice 0:09:32.620 --> 0:09:33.320 because I. 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:35.420 Think that last game is very much an outlier. Even 0:09:35.460 --> 0:09:37.860 though they were missing more players, we were missing more 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:40.900 attacking threats. And that's a hard, hard thing to not 0:09:40.940 --> 0:09:43.199 have with you when you're not– When you're playing short 0:09:43.220 --> 0:09:46.760 and deficient, all those guys. So you saw how important 0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:49.710 Aloka was off the bench. He was missing in that contest. 0:09:49.730 --> 0:09:52.069 He's got a start tonight, doesn't he? He deserves a 0:09:52.110 --> 0:09:53.310 start after that. I don't know if you take him 0:09:53.350 --> 0:09:54.550 out of the bench role, though. 0:09:54.610 --> 0:09:55.810 Yeah, he is a super sub. 0:09:55.830 --> 0:09:56.310 That's the thing. 0:09:57.090 --> 0:10:00.560 Dean Smith has put forth a team now that can change. teams, 0:10:00.660 --> 0:10:02.800 that can change games from the bench. I don't know 0:10:02.820 --> 0:10:04.260 if you want to mess that up. And I think 0:10:04.300 --> 0:10:05.979 that's something that they did not have last year. Him 0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:08.670 against tired defenders. They didn't have that last year. They 0:10:08.690 --> 0:10:10.150 didn't have it the first year because of the depth. 0:10:10.170 --> 0:10:12.470 They missed Pep Biel as well. So I think this 0:10:12.510 --> 0:10:13.750 is one of the things where you look at it 0:10:13.770 --> 0:10:16.449 and you say, This is a team that's perfectly positioned 0:10:16.470 --> 0:10:17.089 to do something special. 0:10:17.110 --> 0:10:17.770 Hell of a point. 0:10:17.850 --> 0:10:18.610 Hell of a point. 0:10:19.230 --> 0:10:21.870 Brilliant. That's just brilliant. Hey, did I move up the rankings? 0:10:23.670 --> 0:10:24.770 I didn't rank you yet. 0:10:24.820 --> 0:10:25.040 I know. 0:10:25.059 --> 0:10:26.740 I don't even think I appeared on the rankings, Bone, 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:27.900 for Willie's favorite co-workers. 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:34.710 Still receiving votes. Ishmael from the text line says... It's 0:10:34.750 --> 0:10:36.840 not a heart of gold for Fitty. It's a heart 0:10:36.860 --> 0:10:37.599 full of plaque. 0:10:37.820 --> 0:10:38.740 Oh, my God. 0:10:39.059 --> 0:10:39.540 Plaque. 0:10:40.820 --> 0:10:41.819 Oh, that is lovely. 0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:43.700 That's not nice. That is lovely. 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:47.559 That's not right. Oh, my God. 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:52.750 Big Pain says Fitty's quads are undeniable. I agree. Quads 0:10:52.790 --> 0:10:54.690 fueled by Jersey Mike's. There you go, baby. 0:10:54.710 --> 0:10:59.719 We named him yesterday, Quadsworth Shortfellow. Henry Quadsworth Shortfellow. 0:10:59.770 --> 0:11:01.960 That's his poetry writing name. 0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:03.100 Quadsworth. 0:11:03.580 --> 0:11:04.340 Oh, my gosh. 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:06.579 All right, so we wanted to ask you about this 0:11:06.660 --> 0:11:09.980 Wegmans thing. Sure. There's a big to-do in Ballantyne. This Wegmans— 0:11:10.140 --> 0:11:10.620 I'm familiar. 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:13.240 is opening up, and, I mean, people are losing their minds, 0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:15.800 and it definitely seems like it's a lot of people 0:11:15.860 --> 0:11:18.000 from upstate New York, which we have many of here. 0:11:18.020 --> 0:11:18.300 Mm-hmm. 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:21.490 Going crazy, probably in their Bill Zubaz pants over there 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:21.970 right now. 0:11:22.470 --> 0:11:24.230 They're wearing giant buffalo heads. 0:11:24.630 --> 0:11:29.429 Oh, my God. You have been to Wegmans. Is it 0:11:29.530 --> 0:11:30.190 all that? 0:11:30.230 --> 0:11:32.219 A lot of people on the text line are saying, Mac, 0:11:32.260 --> 0:11:34.220 you can poo-poo it, but it's just amazing. 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:35.420 What is it all about? 0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:37.640 I think the hype for Wegmans is similar for the 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:41.350 hype around something like Buc-ee's, where They take something that 0:11:41.590 --> 0:11:44.209 appears ordinary, like a gas station or a grocery store, 0:11:44.690 --> 0:11:47.270 and they elevate it. Now, the thing about Wegmans, the 0:11:47.290 --> 0:11:49.910 footprint is larger than any grocery store you've ever been in, 0:11:50.140 --> 0:11:52.140 maybe short of a Costco, so to speak. 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:58.510 The outer edges of the restaurant or the– grocery store 0:11:58.690 --> 0:11:59.650 is basically like a restaurant. 0:11:59.850 --> 0:12:02.330 It's like a buffet there, right? Not quite a buffet, 0:12:02.350 --> 0:12:04.510 but they have very prepared meals and those kind of things. 0:12:04.710 --> 0:12:07.480 So you can sit and eat in the Wegmans. It's 0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:09.600 almost one of those things. So that's, I think, the 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:11.960 big attraction. And the other part of it is the 0:12:11.980 --> 0:12:14.380 prepared meals, like the gold plate meals they have. It's 0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:16.150 what they call it, or a gold pan, whatever it's called. 0:12:16.590 --> 0:12:19.929 That's the real, I think, differentiator. Now, every grocery store 0:12:19.950 --> 0:12:21.709 does this now, but they do it to a level 0:12:21.990 --> 0:12:24.510 and a breadth of options that I don't think many 0:12:24.630 --> 0:12:26.650 other grocery stores have. So I think those are the 0:12:26.670 --> 0:12:29.350 big attractions that differentiate it from another grocery store. Is 0:12:29.390 --> 0:12:32.390 it going to keep me from going to Teeter or Publix? No, 0:12:33.050 --> 0:12:35.270 because those things are more convenient for me where I live. 0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:38.860 But if I'm riding home from Matthews and I'm passing Ballantyne, 0:12:39.179 --> 0:12:41.060 I need something, a little quick dinner on the way home. 0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:42.880 Yeah, I'll probably stop at Wegmans. Or if I need 0:12:42.900 --> 0:12:44.780 a little lunch key, I'll go and stop at Wegmans. 0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:46.840 So you're saying it is worth the hype, though. 0:12:46.860 --> 0:12:50.140 Because a lot of people are kind of rolling their 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:51.860 eyes at the hype today. 0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:54.590 Again, it's kind of how you rolled your eyes at 0:12:54.620 --> 0:12:56.950 the hype for Buc-ee's. It's not for everybody, apparently. 0:12:57.300 --> 0:12:59.609 What's been your favorite Joe Bruno tweet today about the 0:12:59.650 --> 0:13:04.250 people tailgating, the people chanting, the cheering for the produce, 0:13:04.750 --> 0:13:06.110 or the running to the meat counter? 0:13:06.490 --> 0:13:09.069 The... People getting all up in their arms about the 0:13:09.110 --> 0:13:12.329 Taste of Buffalo counter thing, they have a lot of 0:13:12.370 --> 0:13:14.570 those things at Teeter and Publix. Like, they have the 0:13:14.610 --> 0:13:16.809 Hoffman hot dogs and the Salem hot dogs at Teeter. 0:13:17.250 --> 0:13:19.770 I mean, I know there's, like, some buffalo dip. Somebody 0:13:19.809 --> 0:13:21.890 was tweeting me about this boss sauce or whatever. I've 0:13:21.910 --> 0:13:24.090 never heard of that before. That's weird. 0:13:24.370 --> 0:13:26.570 You're the sauce boss, and you don't know about the 0:13:26.590 --> 0:13:27.150 boss sauce. 0:13:27.290 --> 0:13:30.210 Apparently, we have a rivalry now between me and somebody 0:13:30.230 --> 0:13:32.990 in upstate New York. But again, all it is is 0:13:33.050 --> 0:13:35.480 personifying how many upstate New Yorkers we have here, which 0:13:35.510 --> 0:13:36.170 is a lot. 0:13:36.750 --> 0:13:39.320 Yeah, that's true. I mean, it seems like every one 0:13:39.340 --> 0:13:40.950 of them is in Ballantyne. Joe tweeted out 600. 0:13:40.940 --> 0:13:43.080 If you wanted to kind of round them all up 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:45.140 and deport them back to Buffalo. 0:13:45.179 --> 0:13:47.960 Is that the plan here? Maybe that's a sting operation. 0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:49.360 Could be a bait and switch scenario. 0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:52.640 Bone, I think it's a salesman sting operation to gather 0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:55.280 all the Buffalonians together and then just get them out. 0:13:55.970 --> 0:13:56.930 All at the same time. 0:13:56.970 --> 0:13:58.770 Are the Buffalonians worse than the Ohioans? 0:13:58.790 --> 0:14:01.030 Bruno tweeted out 684 parking spots all filled in 20 0:14:01.030 --> 0:14:01.370 minutes today. 0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:10.470 I don't find the Buffalonians that annoying until we play 0:14:10.490 --> 0:14:10.800 the Bills. 0:14:11.230 --> 0:14:14.390 I'm not bothered by Bills fans. I know some people 0:14:14.429 --> 0:14:15.750 on the text line are going to get mad at me. 0:14:16.230 --> 0:14:17.890 I think the Bills fans are a fun group. I 0:14:17.910 --> 0:14:22.710 think they're regular Joes, regular people. The Ohio thing, I'm 0:14:22.730 --> 0:14:25.030 not even saying y'all are bad people. It's the Buckeye 0:14:25.070 --> 0:14:27.450 thing for me. I just can't stand your football team. 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:32.220 And man, when you talk about your football team, holy obnoxiousness. 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:33.340 You see a car on the side of the road 0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:36.260 in 77, it's Better than even odds that it's an 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:39.000 Ohio plate. 0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:41.080 There is a pipeline. No doubt about it. 0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:42.250 Will you have a swine today? 0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:44.070 I'm angry at the L.A. 0:14:44.130 --> 0:14:45.810 Rams for cutting my guy Muddy Mevis. 0:14:46.570 --> 0:14:48.110 I know he missed one kick during the game on 0:14:48.130 --> 0:14:51.650 Monday Night Football, but when the game was blocked. 0:14:51.830 --> 0:14:53.750 How is that his fault? Didn't get it up enough. 0:14:53.770 --> 0:14:55.580 Didn't get enough elevation on it. 0:14:55.580 --> 0:14:58.480 The guy came through the line. Questions on his focus 0:14:58.580 --> 0:15:00.000 are also there. Oh, stop. 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:03.580 Was he focused on the buffet instead or something? A 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:06.320 lot of ladies on Instagram, they've been looking at all 0:15:06.340 --> 0:15:06.740 his likes. 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:13.000 I'm surprised he wasn't liking all the restaurant Instagram accounts. 0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:14.040 He's in Los Angeles. 0:15:14.060 --> 0:15:16.390 He's not allowed to window shop. He's not a married man. 0:15:16.450 --> 0:15:16.910 He's fine. 0:15:16.970 --> 0:15:19.130 He's not the person that Trump called fat, right, the 0:15:19.150 --> 0:15:21.770 other day. That's someone different. I don't think that's correct. 0:15:21.810 --> 0:15:23.990 But yeah, I'm angry at the Rams. I like my guy, 0:15:24.030 --> 0:15:26.590 Money Mivas. Yeah, I figured that would hurt you, man. 0:15:26.650 --> 0:15:28.930 I think maybe he's the fall guy just for special 0:15:28.970 --> 0:15:31.480 teams that is horrible. Just in general, right? 0:15:31.500 --> 0:15:34.640 It's okay. Sean McPhail will find something else. That's all right. 0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:37.180 Your Mizzou Tigers are flying high, baby. They're flying. Now, 0:15:37.220 --> 0:15:37.840 here's the thing. 0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:41.160 I have done a mea culpa. I have said that 0:15:41.180 --> 0:15:44.920 I underestimated Mizzou. I am humbly asking for your forgiveness. 0:15:44.940 --> 0:15:46.300 We're going to lose to Ole Miss now this week. 0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:47.360 That's what I was going to say, though. 0:15:47.380 --> 0:15:48.140 This is what's happening. 0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:51.500 Do you fear that now that everybody has finally said, okay, 0:15:51.540 --> 0:15:53.700 we're off your back, you guys are legit, do you 0:15:53.780 --> 0:15:55.550 fear that this is where you trip up? 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:56.700 They're no shame if they do. 0:15:56.780 --> 0:15:59.060 They've got like four tough games left. This is probably 0:15:59.080 --> 0:16:01.660 the fourth toughest. They have to host Oklahoma. They've got 0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:05.110 to play Texas and Georgia still as well, so It's 0:16:05.170 --> 0:16:06.370 going to end at some point. 0:16:07.410 --> 0:16:08.670 I hope it doesn't end in Oxford. 0:16:08.690 --> 0:16:13.150 Mississippi, amongst the Grove and all the scenery there. But 0:16:13.730 --> 0:16:16.690 outside of that, I don't fear this game as much 0:16:16.730 --> 0:16:18.570 as I feared others on their schedule. But at the 0:16:18.610 --> 0:16:20.490 same point in time, there's still a lot to fear 0:16:20.530 --> 0:16:21.910 for me, and I still have to get proven that 0:16:21.930 --> 0:16:23.830 they can be more consistent than they've been over the 0:16:23.850 --> 0:16:26.550 course of this season. And also the Florida victory is 0:16:26.580 --> 0:16:29.600 looking less and less impressive by the week because even 0:16:29.650 --> 0:16:30.700 South Carolina can beat Florida. 0:16:31.500 --> 0:16:36.210 Oh, my God. Move him down to about 10th, bone 0:16:36.270 --> 0:16:37.710 on the rankings. I was going to ask you what's 0:16:37.750 --> 0:16:39.710 coming up at 10 today, but I no longer care. 0:16:39.730 --> 0:16:44.170 Coming up next, Danielle Stein. NBC Charlotte joins us. Top 0:16:44.190 --> 0:16:45.250 Panther Sports Radio. 0:16:45.250 --> 0:16:45.750 92.7 WFNZ. 0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:14.850 Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ. Remember, we got podcasts out there, y'all. 0:17:15.250 --> 0:17:17.810 I understand you can't listen every minute of the Mac 0:17:17.850 --> 0:17:19.510 and Bone Show. I won't hold it against you as 0:17:19.570 --> 0:17:25.540 long as you hit up those podcasts, the hours you miss. WFNZ.com, Apple, Spotify, 0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:30.760 wherever you get your podcasts. So the Panthers aren't practicing today. 0:17:30.900 --> 0:17:36.550 Dave Canales is. change things up. That joke has been 0:17:36.670 --> 0:17:39.110 used today. Gave the guys off to go to Wegmans 0:17:39.130 --> 0:17:42.669 because it's a big old deal. Dave said he has 0:17:42.690 --> 0:17:44.409 talked to other coaches around the league about how they 0:17:44.430 --> 0:17:47.130 do bi-weeks and some of them will do it this 0:17:47.190 --> 0:17:50.669 way where they will work practice Tuesday. which is normally 0:17:50.690 --> 0:17:54.270 their off day, takeoff Wednesday, which is normally kind of 0:17:54.310 --> 0:17:56.840 the install the game plan day. So I like the 0:17:56.859 --> 0:17:59.359 fact after losing his first two after the bye week games, 0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:01.740 he's changing things a little bit. It will be kind 0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:04.399 of weird today when the injury report comes out and 0:18:04.420 --> 0:18:08.220 they're like estimating. Like if we would have practiced, this 0:18:08.260 --> 0:18:10.680 dude would have been limited or this dude would have practiced. 0:18:10.700 --> 0:18:12.980 So we'll get that later on today. Right now we 0:18:13.010 --> 0:18:17.230 get some Panthers talk with the one and only Danielle Stein. 0:18:18.150 --> 0:18:21.270 She is busy day to day just carrying Nick Carboni 0:18:21.570 --> 0:18:25.609 at WCNC in the sports department. And she is nice 0:18:25.650 --> 0:18:28.480 enough to join us here to probably carry the segment 0:18:28.500 --> 0:18:29.659 and carry us for a segment. 0:18:29.700 --> 0:18:31.080 What's up, Danielle? How you doing? 0:18:31.300 --> 0:18:35.300 How are we doing? I'm doing great. You spoke to 0:18:35.340 --> 0:18:37.939 my northern heart also by talking about the Wegmans opening, 0:18:37.980 --> 0:18:40.909 and I might be making an appearance later today as well. 0:18:41.050 --> 0:18:42.990 Okay, so I need to ask you, first of all, 0:18:44.210 --> 0:18:47.350 where are you from in the north? And then secondly, 0:18:48.290 --> 0:18:52.800 explain to us what makes Wegmans so special, because some 0:18:52.820 --> 0:18:55.179 people get it and some people, like some of us, 0:18:55.200 --> 0:18:55.740 just don't get it. 0:18:55.800 --> 0:18:56.940 You know? Yeah. 0:18:57.100 --> 0:18:59.660 Yeah. I mean, it's a grocery store, but it's really good. 0:18:59.700 --> 0:19:02.100 I mean, they have really good prepared food. Their pizza 0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:05.140 is really good. Their hot bar is really good. Their 0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:08.510 fresh sushi actually is the best grocery store sushi, I 0:19:08.550 --> 0:19:11.700 would say. They just have a lot of good stuff. 0:19:11.780 --> 0:19:14.639 Really crazy fonts all around the store, though. Signage is 0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:17.909 kind of weird, but it's a fun time. And I'm 0:19:17.930 --> 0:19:20.669 from Boston, so we had one around me growing up. 0:19:20.770 --> 0:19:23.810 I also lived in Virginia for a couple of years. 0:19:23.830 --> 0:19:26.950 Then we had one in Charlottesville where I live there, too. 0:19:27.050 --> 0:19:29.810 So I've been a Wegmans loyalist for some time. 0:19:30.930 --> 0:19:34.050 The reports coming in that we see are unreal. Someone 0:19:34.109 --> 0:19:38.320 says people have brought their own chairs and they're sitting around. 0:19:38.160 --> 0:19:38.940 Cheese Island right now. 0:19:38.980 --> 0:19:41.540 Yeah, I saw that. That's pretty crazy. 0:19:41.740 --> 0:19:44.139 This is an event. They may not leave. This is 0:19:44.180 --> 0:19:47.169 a resort for some of these folks. It's a freaking event, man. 0:19:47.350 --> 0:19:47.630 All right. 0:19:47.650 --> 0:19:50.560 Well, I am very intrigued. I'm very intrigued. 0:19:50.700 --> 0:19:52.820 It's worth the trip to Valentine's Day. 0:19:53.140 --> 0:19:55.540 I like that idea. I'm going to let everybody chill 0:19:55.600 --> 0:19:57.780 out a little bit. I'll stick to my local Costco 0:19:57.800 --> 0:19:58.720 and I'll like it for now. 0:19:58.800 --> 0:20:00.720 There you go. All right. 0:20:00.800 --> 0:20:05.300 So, Daniel, I want to ask you about Taylor Moten's return. 0:20:06.680 --> 0:20:08.200 Listen to him talk. First of all, he's such a 0:20:08.220 --> 0:20:10.889 likable dude as it is. But when you listen to 0:20:10.930 --> 0:20:13.669 him talk about the blood clots and him coughing up 0:20:13.750 --> 0:20:16.890 blood and just how how scary this must have been 0:20:16.950 --> 0:20:19.590 for him and that there is some risk of him 0:20:19.630 --> 0:20:22.140 coming back and playing football, but he thinks it's it's 0:20:22.200 --> 0:20:25.340 not great. But and he loves the game. Listen to 0:20:25.380 --> 0:20:29.040 him talk yesterday is a reminder, man. We can't just 0:20:29.080 --> 0:20:31.439 treat him like some dude we desperately want back to 0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:34.540 help protect Bryce. This is bigger than football. What did 0:20:34.580 --> 0:20:36.720 you think about hearing about his story? 0:20:37.520 --> 0:20:40.040 Yeah, that's where the difference between being on the IR 0:20:40.280 --> 0:20:45.150 versus the non-injured list come into play, too, where you realize, hey, 0:20:45.190 --> 0:20:47.859 this is obviously bigger than football. This is someone taking 0:20:47.890 --> 0:20:50.540 care of their own well-being, and that should be what 0:20:50.600 --> 0:20:53.540 everyone does prioritize. You always need to listen to your body. 0:20:53.560 --> 0:20:55.899 You always need to make sure you're taking care of 0:20:55.920 --> 0:20:59.419 yourself in those ways. But, I mean, Timo's amazing, like 0:20:59.460 --> 0:21:02.030 you said. He's been around this team for so long. 0:21:02.050 --> 0:21:04.570 He is so well-liked. Dave was telling us a fun 0:21:05.130 --> 0:21:08.359 anecdote how, like, everyone has a running joke that everyone 0:21:08.380 --> 0:21:10.919 just says happy birthday, Timo, whenever they see him, just 0:21:10.960 --> 0:21:13.700 like whatever it's on his birthday. And he's kind of 0:21:13.720 --> 0:21:16.119 like the fun uncle was what they described. And I 0:21:16.300 --> 0:21:19.800 totally see that because he's, he's just such a good guy. 0:21:19.820 --> 0:21:22.199 I remember the last year when we were talking to 0:21:22.240 --> 0:21:25.439 him at the beginning of, before the season started and 0:21:25.480 --> 0:21:28.469 he hadn't had that next option picked up and he 0:21:28.510 --> 0:21:31.630 wasn't sure exactly what his situation was going to be 0:21:31.670 --> 0:21:34.770 here in Carolina, long-term or anything like that. And he 0:21:34.830 --> 0:21:38.270 cried at the podium talking about, what this city, what 0:21:38.310 --> 0:21:41.230 this team means to him. And that's the kind of 0:21:41.330 --> 0:21:45.719 leader you need. Obviously, the field says one thing, but 0:21:45.760 --> 0:21:48.220 the kind of person that they have in this locker 0:21:48.240 --> 0:21:51.400 room who we've been seeing out at practice pretty much 0:21:51.600 --> 0:21:55.600 every single day. He's always taking laps around the field pregame. 0:21:55.660 --> 0:21:58.540 I always say hey to him whenever we have the 0:21:58.760 --> 0:22:01.380 past two home games and he's doing his laps around 0:22:01.420 --> 0:22:04.540 the field. He's someone who's been around. So to be 0:22:04.600 --> 0:22:09.420 obviously so candid about his own health scares and, you know, graphic, 0:22:09.460 --> 0:22:12.640 but it was pretty, pretty detailed. And being as open 0:22:12.660 --> 0:22:15.580 with us as he was, I think that says so 0:22:15.640 --> 0:22:19.230 much about the kind of guy he is and what 0:22:19.290 --> 0:22:21.750 kind of player the Panthers will be getting back for 0:22:21.810 --> 0:22:22.950 this next part of their season. 0:22:23.430 --> 0:22:26.470 Danielle opinions vary on this, but the Eagles are an 0:22:26.590 --> 0:22:30.260 injured mess coming off a, a terrible way to lose 0:22:30.280 --> 0:22:34.020 for themselves in London. Would you rather them come in 0:22:34.680 --> 0:22:37.240 feeling this down, or would you rather them be on 0:22:37.260 --> 0:22:41.820 a high than we thought they were almost at against Jacksonville? 0:22:42.140 --> 0:22:43.900 What's your opinion on that? Do you like the Eagles 0:22:43.940 --> 0:22:46.100 being down, or would you rather them feeling good about themselves? 0:22:47.340 --> 0:22:49.609 I mean, a win's a win, however way you get it. 0:22:49.619 --> 0:22:51.369 If they're feeling good, if they're not feeling good, it 0:22:51.410 --> 0:22:54.550 doesn't matter as long as the Panthers are feeling good. That's, 0:22:54.650 --> 0:22:56.369 I guess, how it should play out. 0:22:56.550 --> 0:22:56.909 Obviously. 0:22:57.810 --> 0:23:01.359 Good games for viewers come when both teams are looking 0:23:01.619 --> 0:23:04.820 some of their sharpest, whether that be Saquon, if he's 0:23:04.859 --> 0:23:07.619 going to be available or not. But, I mean, I 0:23:07.660 --> 0:23:09.640 think they would rather just get the win no matter 0:23:09.760 --> 0:23:11.179 whichever way it spins out. 0:23:15.090 --> 0:23:19.550 All right. You got a wind gust there, Danielle? What's 0:23:19.570 --> 0:23:23.190 going on there? Yeah, my bad. Okay. 0:23:23.280 --> 0:23:24.490 Is it really loud? 0:23:24.560 --> 0:23:25.220 That one was. 0:23:25.320 --> 0:23:27.400 That one got. I thought you were in a wind tunnel. 0:23:27.420 --> 0:23:29.300 It was kind of soothing because it stopped Mac from 0:23:29.340 --> 0:23:31.240 talking for a second. I couldn't say anything, but I 0:23:31.240 --> 0:23:31.429 loved it. 0:23:31.440 --> 0:23:33.939 It was a rail trail. That's so my fault. Yeah, 0:23:33.980 --> 0:23:34.800 I'm outside. 0:23:34.940 --> 0:23:35.960 Oh, it's all good. 0:23:36.040 --> 0:23:36.840 Old rail trail. 0:23:36.900 --> 0:23:39.600 I thought Danielle Stein was reporting live from the NASCAR 0:23:39.640 --> 0:23:41.640 wind tunnel. That's what I thought was going on there. 0:23:42.800 --> 0:23:46.369 All right, Daniel Stein, WCNC, is with us. How do 0:23:46.390 --> 0:23:50.369 you feel about Bryce? We talked about this earlier. And 0:23:50.430 --> 0:23:54.149 I'll throw the offense in, too. Do you expect Bryce 0:23:54.190 --> 0:23:57.060 and the offense to do this for the full season? 0:23:57.160 --> 0:23:59.500 I know there's some people that are afraid it's going 0:23:59.520 --> 0:24:03.320 to drop off. Bone and I feel like this is 0:24:03.340 --> 0:24:06.250 going to be a pretty damn good offense for 17 games. 0:24:06.290 --> 0:24:07.390 How do you feel about that? 0:24:08.220 --> 0:24:10.880 I feel pretty similar. I think that what we're seeing 0:24:11.400 --> 0:24:13.220 is kind of what we're getting. Of course, there's going 0:24:13.240 --> 0:24:17.330 to be some uncontrollables, whether people are injured or things 0:24:17.369 --> 0:24:20.030 like that. But one thing about Bryce is I do 0:24:20.070 --> 0:24:24.129 feel like he's pretty consistent in how he answers questions, 0:24:24.190 --> 0:24:26.770 how he does his workouts, how he does just his 0:24:26.810 --> 0:24:30.980 whole life. So once Bryce seems like he's doing something 0:24:31.020 --> 0:24:33.900 a certain way, it feels like this could be what 0:24:33.940 --> 0:24:36.340 we would expect to see, especially now that we have 0:24:36.840 --> 0:24:39.840 four games of a sample size, and his numbers have 0:24:39.880 --> 0:24:42.869 been excellent. It's not like they've had real drop-offs. Even 0:24:43.390 --> 0:24:46.870 that Cleveland game that they say wasn't maybe their strongest offensive, 0:24:46.890 --> 0:24:49.850 he still had 291, I believe, for passing yards. So 0:24:50.869 --> 0:24:54.679 Bryce looks sharp. He's, like I said, we talked to 0:24:54.700 --> 0:24:58.219 him after this bye week, and we just saw this 0:24:58.240 --> 0:25:01.460 whole media tour that he just did between going on 0:25:01.540 --> 0:25:04.439 game day and going on Monday night football with Manning cash, 0:25:04.460 --> 0:25:07.440 things like that. And he's like, yeah, it's good experiences, 0:25:07.500 --> 0:25:09.520 but like just really happy to be back in this 0:25:09.560 --> 0:25:11.530 building and getting to work with my guys. 0:25:12.570 --> 0:25:14.709 What do you think of the job that Brad has 0:25:14.750 --> 0:25:16.210 done so far as a play caller? 0:25:17.430 --> 0:25:19.810 I think it's great. I think, I think what's great 0:25:19.869 --> 0:25:22.090 is it seems like Bryce and TMAC and all of 0:25:22.150 --> 0:25:24.379 the other offensive weapons seem to be happy about it. 0:25:24.810 --> 0:25:27.930 And I think that's obviously what's the most important. clear 0:25:27.970 --> 0:25:31.620 that they're really opening up Bryce's game. He's looking to 0:25:31.660 --> 0:25:34.400 a lot of different targets as well. Of course, this 0:25:34.440 --> 0:25:37.109 last one was big on TMAC, but the fact that 0:25:37.130 --> 0:25:40.270 they're incorporating as many of the tight ends as regularly 0:25:40.510 --> 0:25:43.230 as they are right now, I think is really great. 0:25:43.410 --> 0:25:46.220 And it's allowing Bryce, it looks like, to play a 0:25:46.240 --> 0:25:46.899 lot more freely. 0:25:48.070 --> 0:25:50.429 No doubt. No doubt about it. All right, Danielle. Well, Hey, 0:25:50.450 --> 0:25:52.680 it's good. Good to talk to you. Good to catch 0:25:52.780 --> 0:25:53.340 up with you. 0:25:53.740 --> 0:25:57.200 And it's certainly fun talking about this Panther team. Hopefully 0:25:57.220 --> 0:26:00.540 that'll be the same after Sunday. Thanks for coming on. 0:26:00.560 --> 0:26:04.180 Anything specifically you and Carboni are cooking up on WCNC? 0:26:04.220 --> 0:26:05.670 Anything you want to promote specifically? 0:26:06.190 --> 0:26:10.870 Oh, let's see. I did my one-on-one. I do typically 0:26:10.890 --> 0:26:13.650 a weekly one-on-one with a player. This week I got 0:26:14.230 --> 0:26:17.800 undrafted rookie Aaron Hall, who is first of all, such 0:26:17.840 --> 0:26:20.959 a nice guy and such a good interview. But what 0:26:20.980 --> 0:26:24.480 a cool story. One of three players on this team 0:26:24.520 --> 0:26:28.720 to get on that 53 after being undrafted, not an 0:26:28.760 --> 0:26:31.020 easy thing, but he's played in all four games. He 0:26:31.040 --> 0:26:34.320 had a start. He's looked really sharp and there's some 0:26:34.359 --> 0:26:36.550 changes to that room. We know that cam Jackson is 0:26:36.590 --> 0:26:38.630 now going to be out for the season. So he 0:26:38.750 --> 0:26:41.710 very well could be sticking around in this lineup, even 0:26:41.810 --> 0:26:44.230 if Turk Wharton is back in it. So there's a 0:26:44.250 --> 0:26:47.750 little bit of change coming in that room. Um, and 0:26:47.810 --> 0:26:50.869 then I guess on the side, something fun I've been doing, 0:26:50.890 --> 0:26:52.910 I don't know if you guys have been seeing this, 0:26:53.010 --> 0:26:55.820 but whenever I chat with any of the athletes, I 0:26:55.859 --> 0:26:58.900 like to talk about food quite a bit by the 0:26:58.920 --> 0:27:02.859 Wegman stuff. Um, So I've been doing a little social series, 0:27:02.880 --> 0:27:05.480 which has been really fun, called Taste of the Pros. 0:27:05.880 --> 0:27:08.860 And I ask guys, like, all right, you're around Charlotte. 0:27:09.080 --> 0:27:10.700 You want a bite to eat. Where are you going? 0:27:10.940 --> 0:27:13.050 And what are you ordering? And then I go and 0:27:13.130 --> 0:27:16.830 try what they're doing. So people have been awesome about it. 0:27:16.850 --> 0:27:20.650 Let me think. Like, Devin Lloyd sent me to Del Frisco. 0:27:20.690 --> 0:27:24.340 So open my wallet up there big time. But, like, 0:27:24.880 --> 0:27:28.649 Jimmy Horn Jr. loved Nana Morrison's soul food. Before he 0:27:28.690 --> 0:27:31.440 had left, I had asked him that one. So it's 0:27:31.460 --> 0:27:34.580 just been cool to know what people's favorite bites are 0:27:34.640 --> 0:27:35.179 around the city. 0:27:35.200 --> 0:27:36.780 That's awesome. 0:27:36.820 --> 0:27:38.000 That's a cool idea. 0:27:38.020 --> 0:27:38.100 Yeah. 0:27:38.140 --> 0:27:42.040 People like it. And what person in general doesn't like 0:27:42.060 --> 0:27:43.920 to answer what their favorite foods are to eat? 0:27:44.220 --> 0:27:47.050 Absolutely. You are speaking our language now. That's what most 0:27:47.070 --> 0:27:49.389 of our segments turn into, to be honest with you. 0:27:49.609 --> 0:27:51.370 I love it. I love it. So that's very cool. 0:27:51.570 --> 0:27:52.290 All right, Danielle. 0:27:52.330 --> 0:27:55.330 Well, hey, good to catch up with you. And thanks 0:27:55.350 --> 0:27:56.590 for coming on. Keep up the good work. 0:27:57.420 --> 0:27:58.729 Appreciate you guys. Have a good one. 0:27:58.890 --> 0:27:59.070 All right. 0:27:59.090 --> 0:28:01.610 There you go, Danielle Stein. Yeah, I got to check 0:28:01.630 --> 0:28:03.690 that segment. I had kind of seen it in passing 0:28:03.750 --> 0:28:06.190 on social media, but I didn't know what her Taste 0:28:06.250 --> 0:28:07.109 of the Pros segment is. 0:28:07.130 --> 0:28:08.320 That's a cool freaking idea. 0:28:08.340 --> 0:28:10.200 Yeah, that's awesome. That is a very cool idea. 0:28:10.460 --> 0:28:13.480 We should do Taste of the P-Man, where we go 0:28:13.560 --> 0:28:17.200 to the bougie restaurants that P-Man recommends, Boney. 0:28:17.340 --> 0:28:20.310 That could be our segment. Does he go to bougie restaurants, 0:28:20.350 --> 0:28:23.820 or does he just have knowledge of them? Are you 0:28:23.859 --> 0:28:26.780 saying his bougie eating is overrated? 0:28:26.920 --> 0:28:28.620 No, I just don't. I don't know. I don't know 0:28:28.660 --> 0:28:30.440 where he, I guess he goes to the pool. 0:28:30.460 --> 0:28:31.350 But like, I don't know. 0:28:31.440 --> 0:28:32.869 Does he? You think he's a fraud? 0:28:32.950 --> 0:28:35.550 You think he's a bougie food fraud? I just need 0:28:35.570 --> 0:28:37.729 to know more of where he's going so I have 0:28:37.750 --> 0:28:40.110 a better understanding. He talks the game. You know what 0:28:40.130 --> 0:28:42.430 you do? You put a GPS tracker underneath that car. 0:28:42.490 --> 0:28:44.489 And then you know exactly where he's at. Because what 0:28:44.530 --> 0:28:47.260 if he's just getting like hot dogs at the QT, 0:28:47.300 --> 0:28:49.580 but he's acting like he's out at some bougie joint. 0:28:49.360 --> 0:28:50.560 On a Friday night? Yeah, he's doing the same as me. 0:28:50.700 --> 0:28:54.700 That would be a scandal right there. We have a 0:28:54.860 --> 0:28:59.310 conference realignment piece up this morning from Brett McMurphy, a 0:28:59.450 --> 0:29:03.070 source piece on what could happen next with James Madison 0:29:03.130 --> 0:29:06.760 going to the American. And it starts out with how 0:29:06.780 --> 0:29:09.440 will the Sunbelt counter that move? Because they're going to 0:29:09.460 --> 0:29:12.960 need somebody now. He says, what's next for the Sun Belt? 0:29:13.400 --> 0:29:16.720 A source said there's a 50-50 chance the league replaces 0:29:16.760 --> 0:29:21.660 James Madison. If so, the most likely candidates in alphabetical 0:29:21.740 --> 0:29:27.260 order are Charlotte, Delaware, East Carolina, Middle Tennessee, and Western Kentucky. 0:29:28.070 --> 0:29:30.550 So Charlotte and ECU being linked to the Sun Belt. 0:29:30.630 --> 0:29:33.530 That's a downgrade. Why would they– they wouldn't want to 0:29:33.570 --> 0:29:35.510 go there, would they? I just, we just read an 0:29:35.550 --> 0:29:39.500 article the other day, Bone, that the average media revenue 0:29:40.160 --> 0:29:42.060 in the American is 10 million per year and it's 0:29:42.060 --> 0:29:43.360 2 million per year in the Sunbelt. 0:29:43.380 --> 0:29:46.440 Yeah, doesn't say why. So like that's- Now Charlotte and 0:29:46.720 --> 0:29:48.640 ECU would be with App though. That would be at 0:29:48.660 --> 0:29:50.580 least a cool part of that. But do you want 0:29:50.600 --> 0:29:52.520 to decrease your revenue by that much? 0:29:52.620 --> 0:29:54.510 Doesn't say why. Like that doesn't make any sense. 0:29:55.230 --> 0:29:59.570 Now I did see people joking around, Bone, on Twitter saying, 0:29:59.650 --> 0:30:02.570 kick Charlotte out. We got JMU, kick Charlotte. I did 0:30:02.590 --> 0:30:06.010 see some of that going on there. Very cruel towards 0:30:06.070 --> 0:30:09.000 the 49er fans. But that doesn't make any sense that 0:30:09.080 --> 0:30:12.000 anybody would willingly want to go from the American to 0:30:12.020 --> 0:30:12.520 the Sun Belt. 0:30:12.560 --> 0:30:13.640 He's got more here. 0:30:13.680 --> 0:30:17.820 The SEC and Big Ten have repeatedly indicated expansion is 0:30:17.860 --> 0:30:21.490 not on the radar, but the SEC at the top 0:30:21.510 --> 0:30:25.750 of their wish list is North Carolina and Virginia. The SEC, 0:30:25.810 --> 0:30:29.650 per sources, has no interest in Clemson, FSU, or Miami. 0:30:30.970 --> 0:30:34.760 They're trying to get to states that they're not in already. Yeah, 0:30:34.780 --> 0:30:36.840 those states are already in the footprint. That's the latest 0:30:36.860 --> 0:30:39.240 from Brett McMurphy as realignment is starting to rear its 0:30:39.280 --> 0:30:39.940 head again. 0:30:40.060 --> 0:30:42.580 And I was reading Heather Dinich writing about the college 0:30:42.600 --> 0:30:45.960 football playoff expansion. Everybody just kind of feels like it's inevitable. 0:30:46.040 --> 0:30:50.060 It's going to 24. But in her article on ESPN.com, Bone, 0:30:50.540 --> 0:30:54.290 it says basically that– the people in the sport feel 0:30:54.330 --> 0:30:56.570 like there's not a King's ransom to be made by 0:30:56.590 --> 0:30:59.810 doing this because you double the teams. So you have 0:30:59.850 --> 0:31:02.950 to split the shares up between more teeth. Like that 0:31:02.990 --> 0:31:05.970 doesn't like, and then how much extra money does ESPN 0:31:06.010 --> 0:31:07.260 pay to get worse games? 0:31:07.430 --> 0:31:07.660 Right. 0:31:08.220 --> 0:31:08.480 Yeah. 0:31:08.540 --> 0:31:12.740 Like worse playoff games. So it's like, if they're, if 0:31:12.760 --> 0:31:15.840 you're not going to make this huge windfall is what 0:31:15.860 --> 0:31:17.360 they used a financial windfall. 0:31:18.120 --> 0:31:20.420 Is it worth doing it? Cause you're hurting the sport. 0:31:21.570 --> 0:31:23.730 I won't hear any arguments the other way, Bone, that 0:31:23.760 --> 0:31:25.680 you are not hurting the regular season, that you are 0:31:25.720 --> 0:31:29.390 not hurting the sport. But the whole reason for doing it, 0:31:29.420 --> 0:31:32.600 it appears to me, is we need revenue so badly 0:31:32.660 --> 0:31:34.400 now because now we have to pay the players and 0:31:34.440 --> 0:31:36.850 we have more expenses than we ever have. But if 0:31:36.870 --> 0:31:40.610 you're not going to make significantly more, is it worth 0:31:41.230 --> 0:31:43.690 harming the regular season the way you're going to? 0:31:44.210 --> 0:31:45.710 I'm trying to figure out. I would say no. 0:31:45.930 --> 0:31:48.479 I'm trying to figure out why those schools would want 0:31:48.520 --> 0:31:49.200 to go to the Sun. 0:31:49.260 --> 0:31:50.800 Oh, you're still working on that project. Yeah, it's not 0:31:50.900 --> 0:31:51.220 over there. 0:31:51.940 --> 0:31:54.280 It's not the TV deal. Would it have something to 0:31:54.340 --> 0:31:57.060 do with. Can you get to the playoffs in an 0:31:57.160 --> 0:31:59.560 easier division and make a lot easier conference and make 0:31:59.600 --> 0:32:01.440 a lot of money that way by being a playoff team? 0:32:01.880 --> 0:32:03.770 I'm trying to figure out what what the reasoning would be, 0:32:03.810 --> 0:32:04.370 why they would do that. 0:32:04.410 --> 0:32:06.750 Well, the article said, didn't you say it said that 0:32:06.870 --> 0:32:08.450 they're on the wish list for the Sun Belt? 0:32:08.510 --> 0:32:09.750 Yeah, maybe that's what it is. Yeah. 0:32:09.770 --> 0:32:11.970 You know what I mean? That's like Flounder's got a 0:32:12.010 --> 0:32:13.820 wish list of Instagram models. 0:32:13.950 --> 0:32:18.300 You know what I mean? Don't mean they're they're, you know, reciprocating. 0:32:18.540 --> 0:32:22.180 Poor Flound, buddy. Sorry, Floundini. He's in a drive-thru somewhere, 0:32:22.240 --> 0:32:24.740 minding his own business, and he's getting astray. Flound's over 0:32:24.760 --> 0:32:27.790 there at Wegmans right now, hanging out, Bo. 0:32:27.850 --> 0:32:28.590 The New York part of it. 0:32:28.590 --> 0:32:32.090 Yeah, he is. He's got Rangers fans out there right now. 0:32:32.130 --> 0:32:34.450 Knicks and Mets fans. When we come back, it's the wrap-up. 0:32:34.470 --> 0:32:49.470 Sports Radio 92.7. Thank you. 0:32:58.530 --> 0:33:02.550 Sports radio 92.7 wfnz mac and bone show winding down 0:33:02.590 --> 0:33:04.700 here it's time for the wrap up ladies and gents 0:33:05.200 --> 0:33:08.420 hornets in action tonight preseason game three of four in 0:33:08.460 --> 0:33:11.680 boston bone and kb got the pregame 6 30 for 0:33:11.700 --> 0:33:14.640 a 7 30 tip here on wfnz that means the 0:33:14.680 --> 0:33:19.100 charlotte fc match against columbus will be over on wbt 0:33:19.300 --> 0:33:22.460 they now have an fm signal it's 107.9 to listen 0:33:22.480 --> 0:33:24.700 to willie and anna they're on the air at 7 0:33:24.700 --> 0:33:27.720 o'clock for a 7.30 start time there. So we got 0:33:27.960 --> 0:33:32.070 some sports stuff happening. We got the Dodgers trying to 0:33:32.110 --> 0:33:35.470 rise up after falling down 2-0 to Milwaukee. Game 3 0:33:35.470 --> 0:33:39.210 tonight in the NLCS. So we got some sports stuff happening. 0:33:40.330 --> 0:33:43.550 We will get to the text line here in a second, Bone. 0:33:43.970 --> 0:33:47.270 But I want to present this clip. This clip's a trip. 0:33:47.770 --> 0:33:50.489 This is Wes Miller, Charlotte 49er head hoops coach. By 0:33:50.510 --> 0:33:53.170 the way, they were picked 5th. In the preseason poll. 0:33:53.210 --> 0:33:53.630 I saw that. 0:33:53.670 --> 0:33:56.360 In the American. That's some respect. That was something, man. 0:33:56.410 --> 0:33:58.160 How about that? That's some respect for Wes. 0:33:58.560 --> 0:34:00.720 So anyway, this is Wes Miller on with the field 0:34:01.060 --> 0:34:05.920 of 64 guys from American Media Day. And he shares 0:34:07.240 --> 0:34:10.440 some good Tyler Hansborough stories, Bone, from back at UNC. 0:34:11.300 --> 0:34:15.620 I've never seen a college athlete that had more self-discipline 0:34:16.450 --> 0:34:19.330 day in, day out, on and off the court. So 0:34:19.350 --> 0:34:22.710 there were very few nights that Tyler Hansbro burned the 0:34:22.750 --> 0:34:23.190 midnight oil. 0:34:23.230 --> 0:34:25.010 I mean, it really was very rare. 0:34:25.870 --> 0:34:32.049 But when he did, he attacked the nightlife the same 0:34:32.130 --> 0:34:35.150 way that he went after a rebound. 0:34:35.170 --> 0:34:36.850 Think Will Ferrell. 0:34:36.550 --> 0:34:39.630 In old school, minus the streaking. 0:34:39.910 --> 0:34:42.390 And I'm saying that in jest, but no, it was 0:34:42.430 --> 0:34:45.540 his recruiting trip. They put a lot of pressure on 0:34:45.600 --> 0:34:47.460 Sean May and I to show him a good time, 0:34:47.480 --> 0:34:49.969 and we were really struggling. God, I could get him 0:34:49.989 --> 0:34:53.690 in a lot of trouble here. But it's so neat 0:34:53.730 --> 0:34:56.049 to see him in media now because he was so 0:34:56.130 --> 0:35:00.489 socially awkward as an 18-year-old. The first thing he did 0:35:00.510 --> 0:35:02.890 when we met him, you know, we were trying to 0:35:02.930 --> 0:35:03.790 show him a good time. 0:35:03.850 --> 0:35:08.609 And he goes, hey, call me T-Bone. What? We called 0:35:08.630 --> 0:35:10.770 him T-Bone for 48 hours on his visit. 0:35:11.370 --> 0:35:13.609 And he had the worst time until we walked into 0:35:13.670 --> 0:35:18.860 this urban nightclub. They probably– Five percent of the people 0:35:18.900 --> 0:35:21.290 there were were college students. 0:35:21.330 --> 0:35:24.810 It was people from, you know, Raleigh and Durham. And 0:35:25.850 --> 0:35:27.509 he walked up. He hadn't said a word for the 0:35:27.550 --> 0:35:28.130 whole visit. 0:35:28.290 --> 0:35:30.670 And we're at this balcony looking over and he just 0:35:30.710 --> 0:35:31.340 turns around. 0:35:31.390 --> 0:35:35.180 He's like, this is awesome. And he danced the whole night. 0:35:35.200 --> 0:35:37.500 He can't dance worth anything. 0:35:38.550 --> 0:35:39.210 Oh, man. 0:35:39.250 --> 0:35:43.319 So you and Tyler Hansborough both want to be called T-Bone. 0:35:43.340 --> 0:35:46.940 We are soulmates. I've got my psycho T-Bone tattoo. Now 0:35:46.960 --> 0:35:47.560 it all makes sense. 0:35:47.580 --> 0:35:51.339 God, now it really fits that Hansborough tattoo you got. 0:35:51.860 --> 0:35:54.410 That is hilarious. We are wings for life, man. So 0:35:54.450 --> 0:35:56.450 he usually didn't go out, but when he did, he 0:35:56.510 --> 0:35:59.850 went hard. That's good stuff from Wes Miller. His will 0:35:59.969 --> 0:36:00.950 outseeded his skill. 0:36:02.850 --> 0:36:04.810 On the dance floor. I'm guessing that was true, too, 0:36:04.870 --> 0:36:08.170 it sounds like. Doing his fist pump that he did 0:36:08.190 --> 0:36:11.250 against Virginia Tech. You think he did that Virginia Tech 0:36:11.270 --> 0:36:15.200 celebration on the dance floor? Oh, man. I got to say, 0:36:15.239 --> 0:36:17.279 this is coming from me, one of the most Caucasian 0:36:17.320 --> 0:36:23.980 celebrations ever done. There are people at Wegmans right now 0:36:24.020 --> 0:36:25.600 doing that. 0:36:26.140 --> 0:36:28.180 And this is a Duke fan saying this, y'all, so 0:36:28.260 --> 0:36:32.070 it carries weight, man. He's seen a lot of Caucasian celebrations. 0:36:32.750 --> 0:36:32.969 All right. 0:36:33.170 --> 0:36:35.790 Anyway, let's get to some of these texts here. 704-570-9610 0:36:35.870 --> 0:36:41.629 on the WFNZ text line. Let's see what we have 0:36:41.690 --> 0:36:45.009 going on. Shaggy says, have these folks ever been to 0:36:45.050 --> 0:36:49.350 an Ingalls grocery store? It sounds identical to Wegmans. I 0:36:49.390 --> 0:36:51.730 have never had the pleasure of going to an Ingalls. 0:36:53.050 --> 0:36:56.839 It seems like they're all over the more western part 0:36:56.880 --> 0:36:58.020 of the state than us, even. 0:36:58.040 --> 0:37:01.580 Yeah, there's 72 in the state, but they're really not 0:37:01.700 --> 0:37:03.700 near us directly here in Charlotte. 0:37:03.739 --> 0:37:06.580 Yeah. Lincolnton and Shelby and that area. So I didn't 0:37:06.600 --> 0:37:06.920 really know. 0:37:06.960 --> 0:37:08.870 I know South Carolina, they're big in. 0:37:09.750 --> 0:37:10.089 You know? 0:37:10.150 --> 0:37:10.390 Yeah. 0:37:10.570 --> 0:37:13.009 Isn't it the Ingalls pregame? Doesn't John Ellis host like 0:37:13.030 --> 0:37:14.109 the Ingalls postgame show? 0:37:14.130 --> 0:37:15.990 He does. Yeah. All right. 0:37:16.030 --> 0:37:19.470 So anyway. Who was your girl, Laura Ingalls? Laura Ingalls Wilder. 0:37:19.860 --> 0:37:22.700 That was Little House on the Prairie, baby. I thought 0:37:22.739 --> 0:37:25.219 that was the political pundit. Laura Ingalls? 0:37:25.300 --> 0:37:26.020 Is that not a political? 0:37:26.040 --> 0:37:26.700 Laura Ingram. 0:37:26.719 --> 0:37:27.340 That's Ingram. 0:37:27.440 --> 0:37:27.800 Ingram. 0:37:28.180 --> 0:37:31.570 Squirrel Meat Henderson says, who says Yankees can't be hillbillies? 0:37:31.620 --> 0:37:35.190 Just build a Wegmans. I grew up in rural Pennsylvania. 0:37:35.210 --> 0:37:37.150 I can tell you, Yankees can be, we can be hillbillies. 0:37:37.190 --> 0:37:40.470 I can tell you that right now. Now, this texter 0:37:40.510 --> 0:37:44.850 said Wegmans is the college preppy with his Hugo Boss 0:37:44.910 --> 0:37:49.049 shirt and slacks and sweater draped across his back of 0:37:49.090 --> 0:37:54.430 grocery stores. He says he much prefers Harris Teeter, the 0:37:54.510 --> 0:37:56.960 same as Wegmans at lower cost. If you can make 0:37:57.020 --> 0:37:59.620 Teeter seem cheap, my God, you must be expensive. 0:37:59.719 --> 0:38:04.160 Seriously. There's an agreement for a second Wegmans in Cornelius 0:38:04.200 --> 0:38:04.540 near me. 0:38:04.560 --> 0:38:06.940 There you go, baby. There you go. There you go. 0:38:06.960 --> 0:38:07.979 That's what we need. 0:38:08.040 --> 0:38:10.739 We need more people to come there. We need more 0:38:10.760 --> 0:38:12.160 traffic over there. That's going to be awesome. 0:38:12.360 --> 0:38:15.870 This texter says, Wegmans is just obnoxious Yankees telling everybody 0:38:15.930 --> 0:38:18.250 about some great thing from the great state they love 0:38:18.330 --> 0:38:19.810 so much that they move from. 0:38:19.930 --> 0:38:21.029 Oh, you mean like beef on whack? 0:38:22.070 --> 0:38:23.810 That is exactly it, though. 0:38:24.290 --> 0:38:27.310 Their state, we hear that all the time living here 0:38:27.350 --> 0:38:28.350 in the melting pot bone. 0:38:28.710 --> 0:38:33.020 Someone says- But they're here in Charlotte. Someone says, great, 0:38:33.080 --> 0:38:35.040 the people from Buffalo are never going to leave now. 0:38:35.100 --> 0:38:36.140 We're bringing them down here. 0:38:37.300 --> 0:38:39.680 I want the record to show I will never tell 0:38:39.739 --> 0:38:42.750 you how great my home in York, Pennsylvania was. I 0:38:42.770 --> 0:38:46.590 will take Charlotte over York, Pennsylvania every damn day. 0:38:46.570 --> 0:38:47.129 Of the year. 0:38:47.170 --> 0:38:49.330 I'm not one of these people that moves to a 0:38:49.370 --> 0:38:51.920 town and tells you how great the place I left is. 0:38:52.080 --> 0:38:55.180 Definitely not one of those folks. Let's see what else 0:38:55.219 --> 0:38:57.500 we have going on here on the text line. This 0:38:57.560 --> 0:39:00.469 texter said Baywatch writers are about to get blasted on 0:39:00.489 --> 0:39:02.350 the view for slow-mo running. 0:39:02.489 --> 0:39:04.029 I'm betting the over on Cal Sheik. 0:39:06.170 --> 0:39:08.230 Slow-mo running not going to play the same way in 0:39:08.230 --> 0:39:10.630 2026 it did back when Pam was on the beach, Bo? 0:39:10.670 --> 0:39:11.330 No, it's not. 0:39:11.350 --> 0:39:14.500 They're going to cover up now.
