WEBVTT - Mac & Bone Show - Zach Gelb Interview 

0:00:00.090 --> 0:00:02.050
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's bring in Zach Gelb, who was in

0:00:02.390 --> 0:00:07.010
<v Speaker 1>the Compass studios yesterday for the national coverage and the

0:00:07.050 --> 0:00:09.790
<v Speaker 1>studio hosting that he does. He'll be back in there

0:00:10.170 --> 0:00:15.130
<v Speaker 1>for the national coverage of Giants and Washington on Sunday.

0:00:15.150 --> 0:00:17.560
<v Speaker 1>He is Zach Gelb, and he joins us here on

0:00:17.590 --> 0:00:20.020
<v Speaker 1>another Friday on the Mac and Bone Show. What's up, Gelb?

0:00:20.060 --> 0:00:20.759
<v Speaker 1>How you doing, brother?

0:00:21.930 --> 0:00:23.989
<v Speaker 2>You know, I do a ton of spots around the country.

0:00:24.050 --> 0:00:27.070
<v Speaker 2>This is definitely the most blue collar spot or so

0:00:27.150 --> 0:00:30.640
<v Speaker 2>I thought when I got a phone call today from

0:00:30.680 --> 0:00:32.560
<v Speaker 2>city and he asked me if I'm a bidet guy,

0:00:32.580 --> 0:00:35.879
<v Speaker 2>I have never been more shocked in my life in

0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:37.540
<v Speaker 2>the five years of doing this show.

0:00:37.580 --> 0:00:39.880
<v Speaker 3>Now, I just want to say this. I never had

0:00:39.940 --> 0:00:41.400
<v Speaker 3>a deal with this on Mike and the mad dog.

0:00:45.920 --> 0:00:47.150
<v Speaker 2>No bidet talk, Mikey.

0:00:49.090 --> 0:00:51.309
<v Speaker 1>I will say this. I don't want to let you down, Gelby.

0:00:51.750 --> 0:00:56.230
<v Speaker 1>I am very anti-bidet for a bro. I believe it's uppity,

0:00:56.370 --> 0:00:59.290
<v Speaker 1>and I have rebelled against it. I will say this, Bone.

0:00:59.550 --> 0:01:01.950
<v Speaker 1>Some of the bidet bros are making a strong case, though.

0:01:02.090 --> 0:01:04.330
<v Speaker 1>I've never looked at it this way before. It's also

0:01:04.390 --> 0:01:06.270
<v Speaker 1>telling of who's a bidet guy and who's not. I'm

0:01:06.290 --> 0:01:08.110
<v Speaker 1>surprised by some of these folks. I know. I know.

0:01:08.410 --> 0:01:11.770
<v Speaker 1>Just when you think you know a texter. Speaker 0 7.

0:01:11.780 --> 0:01:14.500
<v Speaker 2>I have never been more proud of you. I am

0:01:14.540 --> 0:01:16.200
<v Speaker 2>not a bidet guy as well, but I think there's

0:01:16.240 --> 0:01:18.740
<v Speaker 2>a difference. If we looked at my bum compared to

0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:21.480
<v Speaker 2>your bum, my would be clean and yours is probably dirty.

0:01:21.530 --> 0:01:22.390
<v Speaker 2>And I don't use the bidet.

0:01:22.550 --> 0:01:23.429
<v Speaker 1>Unbelievable.

0:01:23.470 --> 0:01:23.770
<v Speaker 3>What's up?

0:01:23.790 --> 0:01:27.069
<v Speaker 1>We now, we now talk talking a wipe trash right now.

0:01:27.190 --> 0:01:30.050
<v Speaker 3>I wipe better than you go. Speaking of bombs, Dallas

0:01:30.090 --> 0:01:35.900
<v Speaker 3>Cowboys last night. Speaking of dirty bum, how surprised are

0:01:36.220 --> 0:01:39.940
<v Speaker 3>you by what took place? And did they get caught

0:01:39.980 --> 0:01:44.580
<v Speaker 3>in that Thursday night trap of maybe taking an opponent lightly?

0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:46.720
<v Speaker 3>Was it a weird Thursday game? What happened to Dallas

0:01:46.770 --> 0:01:49.550
<v Speaker 3>last night? We thought they were heading a certain direction,

0:01:49.570 --> 0:01:50.610
<v Speaker 3>and last night they go backwards.

0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:55.059
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, 75% of my knockout pool got nixed last night,

0:01:55.420 --> 0:01:57.910
<v Speaker 2>me being one of them, because I looked at it

0:01:57.970 --> 0:02:00.010
<v Speaker 2>and I said, eh, short week, I don't really ever

0:02:00.050 --> 0:02:01.990
<v Speaker 2>trust the Cowboys, but you got to pick a team

0:02:02.010 --> 0:02:03.990
<v Speaker 2>that you don't love one of these weeks to end

0:02:04.050 --> 0:02:06.830
<v Speaker 2>up winning one of these survivor pools. And the way

0:02:06.850 --> 0:02:09.230
<v Speaker 2>that I looked at it last night, undrafted free agent

0:02:09.290 --> 0:02:12.510
<v Speaker 2>Jalen Daniels, I saw him play at Kansas. He was fine,

0:02:12.530 --> 0:02:14.790
<v Speaker 2>but he couldn't really stay healthy. I would have never

0:02:14.870 --> 0:02:17.940
<v Speaker 2>thought that he would basically be a hot knife along

0:02:17.970 --> 0:02:22.180
<v Speaker 2>with Bucky Irving threw butter on this Cowboys defense. And

0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:24.960
<v Speaker 2>let's be real. We heard about Matt Eberlewis last year.

0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:27.460
<v Speaker 2>He was the blame of every problem to this Cowboys defense.

0:02:27.500 --> 0:02:31.750
<v Speaker 2>They revamped this defense. This defense still stinks five games

0:02:31.810 --> 0:02:34.890
<v Speaker 2>into the season. So I don't use the short week,

0:02:34.950 --> 0:02:37.250
<v Speaker 2>Thursday night, the schedule. I know they were in Brazil

0:02:37.270 --> 0:02:39.470
<v Speaker 2>a few weeks ago and all that nonsense. You were

0:02:39.510 --> 0:02:43.100
<v Speaker 2>playing an undrafted free agent quarterback. who was making his

0:02:43.139 --> 0:02:46.540
<v Speaker 2>second career start and your improved defense couldn't even be average.

0:02:46.580 --> 0:02:49.010
<v Speaker 2>They were God awful. And it just shows you, unless

0:02:49.110 --> 0:02:52.530
<v Speaker 2>if Dak and the Cowboys offense is perfect, the Cowboys

0:02:52.580 --> 0:02:53.220
<v Speaker 2>can't win games.

0:02:54.470 --> 0:02:55.570
<v Speaker 1>No, no, they can't.

0:02:55.610 --> 0:02:56.070
<v Speaker 3>It's true.

0:02:56.190 --> 0:02:58.829
<v Speaker 1>And that was the tackling last night, to your point.

0:02:59.370 --> 0:03:01.990
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, and Dak's handling of the blitz at times

0:03:02.050 --> 0:03:06.329
<v Speaker 1>last night, too. He was not necessarily near his best.

0:03:06.770 --> 0:03:09.810
<v Speaker 1>And I enjoyed it, even though I tried rooting for

0:03:09.850 --> 0:03:13.350
<v Speaker 1>them for once, Kelby. I tried saying, OK, Cowboys, I'm

0:03:13.370 --> 0:03:15.740
<v Speaker 1>going to join you for a night. Make the Bucs 0-5.

0:03:16.889 --> 0:03:18.030
<v Speaker 1>And they couldn't pull it off.

0:03:18.350 --> 0:03:21.120
<v Speaker 2>You, you had a, you had a honestly, but Bucky

0:03:21.220 --> 0:03:24.340
<v Speaker 2>Irving looked like 50 at a buffet going through that.

0:03:24.180 --> 0:03:32.310
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys going off, bro. That's hilarious. Gelby. You had a

0:03:32.350 --> 0:03:36.990
<v Speaker 1>great tweet about the, the NFC East. and the way

0:03:37.050 --> 0:03:39.290
<v Speaker 1>it's shaping up. And you had the, you had the

0:03:39.470 --> 0:03:42.960
<v Speaker 1>GIF of Jameis. You're going to be in the studio

0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:46.840
<v Speaker 1>for the national coverage of that Giants and Washington game.

0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:49.760
<v Speaker 1>I am asking, asking a question that I did not

0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:53.950
<v Speaker 1>foresee myself asking this year. Can the Giants win the division?

0:03:55.670 --> 0:03:59.070
<v Speaker 2>I don't think so because Jamis is their quarterback. And

0:03:59.090 --> 0:04:03.220
<v Speaker 2>I do think you'll eventually see JJ McCarthy play. But man,

0:04:03.250 --> 0:04:05.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm talking to Jermaine Illuminor later today. It's having a

0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:09.040
<v Speaker 2>great season as their right tackle. And I'm going to

0:04:09.140 --> 0:04:11.420
<v Speaker 2>ask him like, Hey, where's your confidence level when it's

0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:13.760
<v Speaker 2>Tennessee east. And it's not like I look at the

0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:15.610
<v Speaker 2>giants and I'm really confident in them, but you look

0:04:15.630 --> 0:04:18.570
<v Speaker 2>at the rest of this division lane, Johnson retired early

0:04:18.589 --> 0:04:21.050
<v Speaker 2>in the week. Then they trade cam Juergens. to the

0:04:21.089 --> 0:04:23.810
<v Speaker 2>Baltimore Ravens. Jaden Daniels is one in three of the

0:04:23.850 --> 0:04:26.089
<v Speaker 2>team is one in three. They're getting him back. And

0:04:26.150 --> 0:04:28.050
<v Speaker 2>it's like, how can you trust the Cowboys after what

0:04:28.070 --> 0:04:31.530
<v Speaker 2>you saw from last night? So you know what? The

0:04:31.610 --> 0:04:34.979
<v Speaker 2>NFC South may not be the worst division in football anymore,

0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:38.620
<v Speaker 2>or at least they may have some company. because 10 wins,

0:04:38.940 --> 0:04:41.140
<v Speaker 2>wins this division, maybe nine and eight with the way

0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:42.640
<v Speaker 2>that this is going. 5.

0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:46.700
<v Speaker 1>That actually Gelby just July bulb just popped in my head. Gelby.

0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:49.840
<v Speaker 1>Could we ask the question, which division is better? Do

0:04:49.860 --> 0:04:52.720
<v Speaker 1>we have a pier now bones, especially with the Panthers?

0:04:52.820 --> 0:04:56.370
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you though, the Carolina Panthers better win this division.

0:04:56.380 --> 0:04:59.590
<v Speaker 2>This is a mitigated disaster. If they don't win the division,

0:04:59.650 --> 0:05:02.409
<v Speaker 2>you know what? I know they lost to Cleveland two

0:05:02.430 --> 0:05:04.690
<v Speaker 2>weeks ago, but the way that they bounced back up

0:05:04.750 --> 0:05:07.530
<v Speaker 2>against Detroit, Bryce is looking like the real deal.

0:05:08.230 --> 0:05:08.950
<v Speaker 1>He was.

0:05:08.970 --> 0:05:11.690
<v Speaker 3>I was going to ask you your thoughts on not

0:05:11.790 --> 0:05:15.270
<v Speaker 3>only the Bryce performance against the Lions, but Bryce, the

0:05:15.350 --> 0:05:20.250
<v Speaker 3>national conversation now going in that positive direction about Bryce.

0:05:20.650 --> 0:05:24.490
<v Speaker 3>I mean, first take is doing MVP conversations all over

0:05:24.510 --> 0:05:27.430
<v Speaker 3>the place. What do you think about Bryce's performance and

0:05:27.490 --> 0:05:29.770
<v Speaker 3>now the chatter about how good Bryce is?

0:05:30.790 --> 0:05:32.330
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. It looks like Bryce is going to be paid

0:05:32.370 --> 0:05:35.029
<v Speaker 2>the big price. I don't know if he's a $ 60

0:05:34.610 --> 0:05:37.690
<v Speaker 2>million quarterback. Like he may get that money in the

0:05:37.770 --> 0:05:40.330
<v Speaker 2>off season. I don't know if I'll ever truly be that,

0:05:40.370 --> 0:05:42.409
<v Speaker 2>but you guys know it. If you are good in

0:05:42.430 --> 0:05:46.040
<v Speaker 2>this league, you could get paid great money. And right

0:05:46.100 --> 0:05:49.599
<v Speaker 2>now he has been really damn good. And that offense

0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:51.740
<v Speaker 2>has been the strength. And there's been some bad draft

0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:54.340
<v Speaker 2>picks through the years of the Carolina Panthers. And I

0:05:54.380 --> 0:05:56.300
<v Speaker 2>know when Ted McMillan got drafted, it was like, okay,

0:05:56.320 --> 0:05:59.740
<v Speaker 2>you're helping the young quarterback, but could they have gone elsewhere? Man,

0:05:59.850 --> 0:06:02.810
<v Speaker 2>Ted McMillan, it's nice to see him get some national

0:06:02.870 --> 0:06:05.010
<v Speaker 2>pub this week. I know he's a quiet guy. I

0:06:05.029 --> 0:06:07.010
<v Speaker 2>got a chance to interview him this past year at

0:06:07.050 --> 0:06:08.880
<v Speaker 2>the Superbowl, but this dude, all he has done has

0:06:08.900 --> 0:06:10.700
<v Speaker 2>been able to produce a on the field for the

0:06:10.740 --> 0:06:12.860
<v Speaker 2>Panthers throughout the first year and a half of his career.

0:06:13.060 --> 0:06:13.930
<v Speaker 1>No doubt about it.

0:06:13.980 --> 0:06:14.140
<v Speaker 3>No.

0:06:14.180 --> 0:06:17.880
<v Speaker 1>So, so Gelby, are you not buying? Cause I noticed

0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:21.849
<v Speaker 1>some of America have really bought in to the Falcons

0:06:21.910 --> 0:06:24.150
<v Speaker 1>to blow out wins on the road the last couple

0:06:24.170 --> 0:06:26.890
<v Speaker 1>of weeks. Are you like, are you not buying them

0:06:26.970 --> 0:06:29.150
<v Speaker 1>as a team that can contend for the division?

0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:34.839
<v Speaker 2>They're solid. They're your biggest competition. I thought it was

0:06:34.860 --> 0:06:36.620
<v Speaker 2>going to be New Orleans heading into the season. That's

0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:39.750
<v Speaker 2>not looking like to be the case right now. Tampa Bay,

0:06:39.770 --> 0:06:41.610
<v Speaker 2>I know they got a win last night and they'll

0:06:41.630 --> 0:06:43.330
<v Speaker 2>eventually get Baker back, but I'm not going to buy

0:06:43.370 --> 0:06:46.060
<v Speaker 2>into them. So Atlanta right now is your biggest competition,

0:06:46.390 --> 0:06:47.960
<v Speaker 2>but I would give the edge to the Panthers over

0:06:47.980 --> 0:06:48.440
<v Speaker 2>the Falcons.

0:06:49.230 --> 0:06:51.229
<v Speaker 3>Gelby, I know you were talking NFC East, but the

0:06:51.270 --> 0:06:55.260
<v Speaker 3>Panthers play the Eagles next week. Eagles play in London

0:06:55.380 --> 0:06:59.840
<v Speaker 3>on Sunday. They trade Juergens, the center. Lane Johnson retires.

0:07:00.380 --> 0:07:03.320
<v Speaker 3>What's your assessment of what's going on in Philly and

0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:05.420
<v Speaker 3>how big of a mess are they and could they

0:07:05.460 --> 0:07:09.040
<v Speaker 3>be by the time they play the Panthers next week? Yeah.

0:07:09.060 --> 0:07:11.480
<v Speaker 2>They have no offensive identity in their line, which used

0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:13.760
<v Speaker 2>to be such a consistent piece for them is now

0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:16.900
<v Speaker 2>a major, major question mark. There's no reason with the

0:07:16.940 --> 0:07:19.260
<v Speaker 2>way that Bryce Young is playing right now. And I

0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:21.700
<v Speaker 2>get it. The Eagle defense is a solid defense and

0:07:21.730 --> 0:07:23.950
<v Speaker 2>they got some good players, but there's no reason why

0:07:23.990 --> 0:07:26.730
<v Speaker 2>Bryce Young can't find a way to get to 21,

0:07:26.730 --> 0:07:29.650
<v Speaker 2>24 points. And these days that's good enough to beat

0:07:29.670 --> 0:07:30.010
<v Speaker 2>the Eagles.

0:07:32.050 --> 0:07:34.390
<v Speaker 1>It is true, man. Then they may be more beat

0:07:34.430 --> 0:07:36.750
<v Speaker 1>up than us bone next week when we play, which

0:07:36.810 --> 0:07:37.420
<v Speaker 1>is crazy.

0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:39.660
<v Speaker 3>They're going to beat each other up by next week.

0:07:40.420 --> 0:07:41.840
<v Speaker 1>They're going to play that thing in a hospital.

0:07:41.860 --> 0:07:43.420
<v Speaker 2>That's the one thing that concerns me a little bit

0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:46.020
<v Speaker 2>about the Panthers. The injuries are really starting to mount up.

0:07:46.500 --> 0:07:47.900
<v Speaker 2>I know a lot of people don't like the early

0:07:47.940 --> 0:07:50.640
<v Speaker 2>bye week. It actually comes at not a bad time

0:07:50.660 --> 0:07:52.000
<v Speaker 2>with the way that the injuries are piling up.

0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:55.470
<v Speaker 1>It's been huge for us. I hated it. When we

0:07:55.510 --> 0:07:58.570
<v Speaker 1>got the schedule, I hated the early bye week. It's

0:07:58.690 --> 0:08:00.910
<v Speaker 1>so great right now. Plus, it freed us up for

0:08:00.930 --> 0:08:02.410
<v Speaker 1>bidet talk, Gelby, too. Yeah, right?

0:08:04.910 --> 0:08:07.130
<v Speaker 2>Honestly, you guys are talking bidets. I should win an

0:08:07.180 --> 0:08:09.760
<v Speaker 2>award here for the way that I'm navigating the traffic

0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:11.860
<v Speaker 2>walking the streets of New York City right now. And

0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:13.760
<v Speaker 2>anytime I'm about to be by a drill, I turn

0:08:13.780 --> 0:08:16.100
<v Speaker 2>the street to the left. A truck's coming. I go

0:08:16.140 --> 0:08:18.060
<v Speaker 2>to the right just to make sure that the background

0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:19.120
<v Speaker 2>noise isn't insufferable.

0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:21.860
<v Speaker 3>I got to tell you, you impress me more by

0:08:21.900 --> 0:08:23.640
<v Speaker 3>the week, Elby. Unbelievable.

0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:24.480
<v Speaker 1>The multitasking.

0:08:24.500 --> 0:08:26.690
<v Speaker 3>The guy can walk and talk to us. It's unbelievable.

0:08:26.730 --> 0:08:28.850
<v Speaker 1>In New York, too, walk and talk. You can fall

0:08:28.870 --> 0:08:30.430
<v Speaker 1>down a sinkhole if you ain't paying attention.

0:08:31.710 --> 0:08:33.890
<v Speaker 2>If I get hit by a car, that's a good

0:08:33.929 --> 0:08:37.179
<v Speaker 2>lawsuit in my favor against FNZ property, right?

0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:40.819
<v Speaker 1>Oh, no, this is danger. I didn't realize we could

0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:42.699
<v Speaker 1>cost the company money. He's going to throw himself out

0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:44.980
<v Speaker 1>of a bus. Last thing, they'll be at the risk

0:08:45.020 --> 0:08:47.660
<v Speaker 1>of a car hitting you. And my prediction will be

0:08:47.710 --> 0:08:51.390
<v Speaker 1>it'd be a cab driver if they hit you. Who's

0:08:51.410 --> 0:08:53.630
<v Speaker 1>your pick? Georgia Bama. Who's your pick?

0:08:55.190 --> 0:08:58.980
<v Speaker 2>Speaker 0 5th, man. I'm going to go with Bama.

0:08:59.220 --> 0:09:01.620
<v Speaker 2>They've defeated them with the board. The last two regular

0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:05.360
<v Speaker 2>season matches. I know the sec championship game got really ugly.

0:09:05.380 --> 0:09:08.599
<v Speaker 2>I I'm looking for Ryan Coleman Williams. I got to

0:09:08.620 --> 0:09:11.400
<v Speaker 2>see that he's back back. Gunner Stockton, I think is

0:09:11.420 --> 0:09:13.800
<v Speaker 2>one of the more underrated quarterbacks in the country, but

0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:15.939
<v Speaker 2>I thought Keelan Russell should have been playing last year

0:09:15.980 --> 0:09:18.600
<v Speaker 2>over Ty Simpson. I really like his game right now.

0:09:18.620 --> 0:09:21.200
<v Speaker 2>A little concerned that it's weird to say that Bama

0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:23.990
<v Speaker 2>had a big went up against Mississippi state. But that

0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:27.210
<v Speaker 2>Camario Taylor was playing well until he got hurt. I'm

0:09:27.250 --> 0:09:29.370
<v Speaker 2>just going to go with the boar and the Crimson

0:09:29.410 --> 0:09:32.530
<v Speaker 2>Tide to continue to have George's number in the regular season.

0:09:32.610 --> 0:09:34.250
<v Speaker 1>It's going to be a fun one tomorrow night, no

0:09:34.290 --> 0:09:39.219
<v Speaker 1>doubt about it. All right, Gelby, navigate those streets, and

0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:41.640
<v Speaker 1>we appreciate you as always, man. Thank you, brother.

0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:44.750
<v Speaker 2>You got it guys. And just make sure you're not

0:09:44.770 --> 0:09:45.730
<v Speaker 2>drinking that bidet water.

0:09:45.750 --> 0:09:46.050
<v Speaker 1>All right.

0:09:46.190 --> 0:09:50.220
<v Speaker 3>It sounds like a bad radio bag on this show.

0:09:50.660 --> 0:09:51.500
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah.

0:09:51.750 --> 0:09:54.569
<v Speaker 1>Oh, definite. That's a definite radio bag coming up. Be

0:09:54.610 --> 0:09:55.199
<v Speaker 1>good brother.
