Speaker 1 (00:13):
Sports Radio ninety two seven WFPNZA.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
All right, you've calmed down here, although jameson Maiden left
an audio message that is testing me. It is testing
my ability to calm back down. Bone Man, Oh my god,
Panthers need to win this game. Bone, we need to
win this game.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
All right.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Anyway, Tarhel Music is playing.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Let's lock in all right, by the way, coming up
at nine twenty five, we'll talk to Ian O'Connor. He
wrote a book about Bill Belichick, and he wrote an
article on Theathletic dot com that says, basically, everybody chill out,
give Bill Belichick time and let him cook. So I
think that's a point of view Bone, and maybe a
lot of tar Heel fans will like to hear. So
(00:52):
we'll we'll, you know, talk to Ian about his thoughts
on that and just his overall knowledge of Belichick, you know,
and his thoughts on a bill making doing this old
college try here.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
But right now we're playing his music. Man Jones Angel
is here. This man is.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Here every Thursday, nine o'clock, rain or shine, win or lose,
doesn't matter what happened. This man will be here. Jones' Angel,
Voice of the tar Heels Jones. What's going on, man?
How you doing?
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Oh, guys doing great. Appreciate y'all having me on. I'm
gonna tell you we had Ian O'Connor on our podcast.
Oh I guess back in the spring, and so he's
a terrific, terrific interview, terrific guest, super knowledgeable y'all. So
I'm not gonna talk long because you've got a good
guest coming up. But man, we are certainly looking for
Tarrio's looking for a better effort on Saturday. To be sure,
(01:41):
I don't think they were pleased with much of anything
that happened on the field. It was a great day
in Chapel Hill. The atmosphere was great, the fans showed out,
I mean the energy of the buzz. It felt big
time for sure. And then after that first quarter, obviously
the Tarrios just just couldn't match that energy and execution
on the field, and looking to improve on that coming
(02:01):
up on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
What surprised you the most, because you know, I'm sure
you we talked to you about this last week, even
you around the program, you had an element of, Man,
I don't really know fully what we're going to see,
but what did surprise you the most?
Speaker 4 (02:17):
To me, it was the fact that the Tarioles that
they just never really got much rhythm going. I think
either side, it just felt like the whole night was hard.
You know, that first drive Carolina was really did have
a nice rhythm and moved down the field and looked
really good and did some stuff that they wanted to do.
(02:38):
And then all of a sudden, you know, they had
a really tough flag against them for a past interference,
and they had a weird call where they got called
for you know, Geo Lopez was called for a sack
when it looked like he had gotten out of the
tackle and was running. And so it's like it felt
like all of a sudden, things just kind of got
bogged down and everybody started getting oh man, what about that,
And it just the Heels of lost their rhythm. And
(03:01):
so I thought if through the first half, this was
still a competitive game, although Carolina did not feel like
it was playing particularly well, but that picked six late
in the late in the first half and then the
start of the second half, and it just felt like
the Heels kind of deflated at that point. And so
the lack of a rhythm the lack of really being
(03:21):
able to get into anything consistently, I think was frustrating
for Carolina. And I'll say too, you know that the
Tarles gave a lot of points and gave up a
lot of yards, and that was surprising. Now I think
some of that. I thought the Tario defense played okay
in the first half. I thought they were on the
field too much, and you started to see that as
the game went along and the score got ugly, and
(03:43):
then all of a sudden, the defense wasn't as effective.
And so I would be surprised if the Tarios continued
to give up you know, forty eight points and well
over five hundred yards as are huge numbers. I'd be
surprised if Carolina's defense continued to have those kind of
struggles as year moves along.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
Where do you think the team will improve the most
with Bill as a year goes along?
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Yeah, what a great question.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
And I do think that this game was important for
Carolina for the staff just to figure out who it
was a little bit. And you know, with so many
new players and so much you know, just knew about
all of it. You know, a lot of these coaches
have had a ton of professional experience, and this is
(04:30):
the first college game, and so just there was so
much new about everything about it that I do think
it provided a lot of valuable data points for Carolina's
staff to be able to adjust and to be able
to pave a better path forward or pave the best
path forward for the rest of the season. And so
(04:52):
I don't necessarily think bone there's like one answer to that,
where do I think? I think everything is. The anticipation
is every thing about what Carolina did is going to
get better. And I think having that opportunity to see
these guys who truly only been together on the field
for a month, and several of the key players weren't
(05:13):
even here in the spring, to have those that pieces
of information now to say, Okay, this is what this
guy looks like when the lights are on. Okay, this
guy can give us fifteen good plays, maybe not forty
good plays or whatever it is that to have those
points of information now to better move forward, I think
(05:35):
will be beneficial. And so you would fully anticipate the
Tarrio is being better in week two than they were
in week one, and then better in week six than
they are in week two, and week ten than they
are in week six, and if Carolina is still having
these troubles when you get to week eight, nine, ten,
then you're having a different discussion. But right now, Tarrio
(05:55):
is certainly not happy with how they played, fully anticipating
getting better, and the only way to do that is
to go back to work and then get back out
there on Saturday night.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
If we're still on these discussions in like week eleven,
you'll be screaming at bone by then during these segments.
That's my prediction, and I hope we're not, and I
hope they can turn it around this week. Jones and
I know yesterday Bill did his presser and it was
before they even had their first practice after the game
on Monday night. He said, Geo looks pretty good, but he,
you know, as you would expect, didn't want to reveal
(06:25):
anything about the quarterback position.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Geo's like really talented.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
I don't think you can deny like what he did
at South Alabama, but man, the way Max played when
he got out there, and that was pretty heartwarming to
see him do that and throw it the touchdown to
his brother. I do wonder, though, does Max fit the
offense better likes? What are your thoughts about these two quarterbacks,
because I do think there's a quandary there for Bill
and the staff.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Well, I think, first of all, in a night where
there weren't many things that felt good on the field,
that is, they feel good story for Max Johnson to
come back from that just such a severe injury a
year ago. I mean to the point where you know
he has said publicly, you know, there was questions of
you know, would he maybe even have to lose his leg?
(07:11):
I mean that was a legitimate discussion. And so you know,
to go through all those surgeries and all the adversity
and then to not just be able to get to
the point where you're back functioning day to day, but
you're playing football and playing very well, you know, nine
of eleven. I thought his arm looked really good, like
stronger than I remember it being when when he was
(07:31):
playing last year, and just look good and comfortable and
looked like somebody who played the position at a high
level for a while. And that's who he is. You know,
played at LSU, played at Texas A and M He's
a good player. And so I do think the answer
to your question comes down to what do the Tarios
want to be? What do they feel like they are
most successful doing offensively? You know, are they a team
(07:55):
that wants to be a power running team and play
action and more of a pro style kind of a approach.
And you know, you got your quarterback in the pocket,
and because Max Johnson's good at that, do you feel
as though you can with Geo Lopez, you know, get
him on the move and get him out of the
pocket and run some read option and all those different
things because he's really good at that. Or do you
(08:16):
kind of sprinkle in both of these guys and try
these approaches at different times. And so I think it
comes down to what do the Tarriols want to be
offensively and what do they feel like give them the
best chance to win? And ultimately that's going to be
the answer.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
It's going to be interesting to see seven o'clock kickoff
here in Charlotte over at the Jerry Jerry Rich's the
Stadium on the campus of Charlotte and Jones and the
crew on WBT and all the Tarho radio network affiliates
with the pregame at six o'clock.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Jones, we appreciate you man. We'll talk to you next week.
Ks Jones, Thanks guys, talking to you soon. Thanks.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
There you go. That is Jones' angel. That man is
accountable Bone. He is going to be here when or
lose all right for his interview, and when.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
We come back, we're gonna talk more about Bill Belichick.
A man who wrote a book on Bill Belichick and
an article this week on how everyone needs to just relax.
The great Ian O'Connor of Theathletic dot Com is next.
Sports Radio ninety two seven WFNZ.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Sports Radio ninety two seven WFNZ. James Remaidan for those
of you wondering, and I do believe that's probably his
era of you, but I'll tell you anyway. James Rere
Maidan is on one Bone man on the FanDuel text
line right now. He has segued from bashing Bryce Young
and trying to irritate me as a Panther fan to
(09:51):
now just going all in on the tar Heels right now.
He is in James, get ready for Illinois this weekend.
All right, you're on Illinois, sir.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
The baby's talking to Mini d As today, Jane, So
Hank Dight there, we'll be out.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
We got something for you.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
But anyway, a very good game, very intriguing game and
big opportunity for the Duke Blue Devils this weekend. Dare
I say, Bony also Panther fans, we will work the
Panthers in here a little bit. There's also people asking
for a Fitty date update, so we will circle back
to Fiddy's date last night. It sounds like the fit
dog had himself a night last night. Sounds like he did,
(10:27):
so we've got that coming up, and maybe XL. Maybe
we'll play the clip of XL introducing the new brisket
sandwich at Bank of America Stadium.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Bone.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
That is very entertaining.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
So all that coming up as we do our thing
here on the mac En Bone Show on a Thursday.
But right now we will focus more on Bill Belichick.
A man that has written a book about Bill Belichick
and wrote a column about Bill's debut. He's now a
writer for The Athletic and he told everybody to chill
(10:57):
out Bill started slow in New England, to chill out
and let the mand.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Do work and don't overreact.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
He is Ian O'Connor read that article at Theathletic dot com. Ian,
thank you so much for coming on man.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
How you doing.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
It's my pleasure. Thanks for having me.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Guys, Thanksan, you're I think your column is definitely reasonable, right,
Lord knows, we're on sports talk radio, so you know
we'll overreact that time for God's sakes, and you know,
and you know our listeners will that are on social media,
So I think it's definitely reasonable to have that approach.
Were you though, surprised you had to be surprised though,
by how bad it was the other night, or did
(11:34):
you kind of have a feeling it could be like that.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
I didn't think it would be that bad. And by
the way, you also had a slow start in Cleveland,
which I forgot to mention in the column. But no,
I thought they'd lose. I thought they'd be more competitive
than that. I think they'd The alarming thing for somebody
who has watched Belichick's teams over the years in New
England is just fundamentally how bad they were, and even
just a somewhat minor mistake on special teams, which is
(12:00):
Bill's specialty. His patriots were just always so great at
paying attention to detail, particularly on special teams. To have
a punter drop a snap. Now he got the kickoff,
but it was a fairly easy snap to handle. You
just don't see Belichick teams do things like that, beyond
the major mistakes they made, both defensively and offensively. Now
they get out of the gate that first possession, you're thinking, wow, okay,
(12:24):
here we go. But I thought they'd lose a more
competitive game, maybe by ten fourteen points, not by what
thirty four points? No, I didn't expect that. But when
you have seventy new players. I don't care if you're
the greatest NFL coach of all time, but when you
have seventy new players and you're starting as a college
head coach for the first time at age seventy three,
(12:47):
there were going to be some growing pains, And certainly
that was very painful if you were a North Carolina fan.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
Ian knowing Belichick like you do and following his career,
what do you think the biggest adjustments going to be
from the way he was set in his NFL ways
to this landscape of college football now.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Well, he thought he'd be a good fit because now
college sports is entirely different from what it used to be,
and that it's pay for play, and he thought this
sort of lines up with the NFL model now where
you're just paying guys, and recruiting is out the window.
It's not about building relationships. It's how much can you
pay me to go to your school. And I thought
that that was maybe a little bit of a simplistic
(13:30):
view on it because he's never coached player this young
as a head coach. Really, he's been in the NFL,
or was for forty nine consecutive seasons starting in nineteen
seventy five with the Colts as an assistant. So even
though he grew up around the Naval academy, his father
was a lifer a college coach as an assistant, I
(13:50):
just don't think he had a full understanding of what
it takes to win in major college football. And why
would he because he's never done it. And you had
a very rock solid program in TCU with a college coach,
the guy who's never coached in the NFL. That was
the worst possible program for North Carolina to play, that
(14:10):
kind of a program which has a culture in place,
a coach who's the son of a college coach, who's
been a college coach, who went to the National Championship
Game a few years ago. So I did think they
would lose, But man, The kind of flaws they showed offensively, defensively,
and even on special teams were alarming. I just think
(14:32):
that after one week of that, they could bounce back
this week, get a couple of wins under their belt.
Against the schedule that is not very difficult if you
look at it over the balance of the season, and
I suspect they're going to go eight and four. That's
something to that effect, maybe seven to five. But you know,
they didn't hire him to do that. They didn't hire
(14:53):
him to go seven and five. Mac Brown could do that.
Certainly they expected more, but I think they'll get more
next season, not this year.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Recruiting looks pretty good moving forward, you know, so so,
but but I think the results, the results have a
bearing on recruiting, So I think you want to turn
the results around.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
But I think eight four.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
I think Tario fans would take that now, you know,
based on what they saw and what they're fearing after
the other night.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
The other night I watch now, I'm just saying it
was pretty bad.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Iano kind of read his stuff the Athletic dot Com,
including this piece telling everybody to chillax all right. He
did the Aaron Rodgers R. E. L. A X when
it comes to Bill Belichick's debut. And there's also the
book out there too if you want background as a
Tar Heel fan on Bill Belichick, The Making Belichick The
Making of the Greatest football coach of all time by
our guest Ian O'Connor. Ian your your your thought on Okay,
(15:46):
you think it'll get better this year? To'll get better
moving forward? I do think though there are Heels fans
that are like, hey, he's no Spring Chicken. Will he
have patients, you know, for struggles and coaching college kids?
I mean, he he all and didn't have patience with
pros grown men. Do you have any fears that he
won't do this very long? Or do you kind of
(16:07):
think he will stick with this and see this through.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Now he's seventy three, But I do think he's a youthful,
energetic seventy three. And if they go seven and five,
he's not going to get an NFL offer, So I
do think he would want to leave for the NFL.
I just don't think that offer is going to be there,
So I think at the very least he'll be there
a second year. Now they have a recruiting class right now,
(16:32):
ranked I believe in the top fifteen, top twenty in
the country. His portal class this year, by twenty four
to seven sports, was ranked I think ninth in the country.
If some of those are a lot of those kids stay,
I think they'll get better the recruits he does have
coming in. And again I don't think this is going
to be a four and eight. Look at their schedule
(16:53):
and they could be three to one and they're missing
I think the only ranked team on their schedule is
Cleanses and so there are some winnable games there. Now
if Geo Lopez, and I don't know if he's going
to play this week, depending on his physical status after
getting hurt, but if he's not better then he showed
against TCU, then they're going to have a problem. There's
(17:13):
no question about that. Bill needs a quarterback. He proved
that in New England. He was what he lost thirteen
of his first eighteen games without Tom Brady. Brady steps
on the field and all of a sudden, you have
a dynasty. So he's going to need to find the quarterback,
whoever that person is. But and by the way, playing
Charlotte this week, you look at that program and Tim
(17:34):
alban A guy who's what, he's fifty nine years old
and he's coached mostly at smaller schools. I know he's
thatt in Nebraska, I think for a few years. But
what an opportunity for a guy like him to beat
Bill Belichick. And I don't know if they have a
legitimate shot to do that, but on that schedule. Now,
even though I said it's a light schedule, there are
a lot of opponents who are going to say, this
(17:55):
would be wonderful for our program just to beat him.
Even if North Carolina is that.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
They'll want it bad You Sonny Dikes, you could tell
how much it meant and how much he played that
kind of disrespect card and you're ignoring us and all
about like you, it's going to They're gonna get everybody's
best shot, no doubt about it.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Sorry, I was just saying, why not that you would
want to put that trophy on your or in your
trophy case as well. I beat Bill Belichick definitely as
a head coach at whatever school it is, And yeah,
that would be very meaningful.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
Ian after writing the Definitive Guide or the book on
Bill Belichick and his life and his rise and what
he became what What was it like when you heard
the news that Belichick was going to college football.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
I was surprised only because I thought he would wait
out the full NFL hiring cycle to see if he
got a job. And I don't know, maybe when he
called the New York Jets the New York Jets of
all teams, right, and they wouldn't even they wouldn't even
take a meeting with him, that that had to scare him.
And so the previous season it looked like he was
getting the Atlanta job. He didn't get that, and I
(19:08):
think he's like, I'm gonna get shut out again, and
I want to coach. I don't want to retire right
now and just do TV. So I was surprised that
he pulled the trigger as quickly as he did. But again,
when the Jets won't take a meeting with you, and
you're Bill Belichick and you dominated them for two decades
in your division, I can understand it at that level.
(19:30):
So it was a strange seeing him on the sideline.
I was there and watching him and in that building,
and I have to say, it's such a beautiful campus.
It's a beautiful setting. I've always wondered, why is North
Carolina not good in football? I understand it's a great
basketball school, you have a good recruiting area, you have
(19:50):
a great campus, good academic standing, and a good stadium.
And why hasn't North Carolina football been good over the
years or consistently good? And so they went for Belichick
and it was a great opportunity for him, and it
got off to an awful, disastrous start. But I think
he'll recover and we'll see how it plays out.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
I'll tell you, after the first drive, I thought we
had something cooking here in the state of North Carolina.
I'm not gonna lie in. I thought we had They
had the atmosphere, they got the nil money, they're committing finally,
and they had the beautiful first drive and then we
know how the rest went.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
All right, get you out of here on this question.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
This is the last question, and this is the one
and that I'm sure you knew was coming. I'm sure
this is your favorite question. But you wrote the book
about Bill Belichick, You've studied this guy.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
You you know a lot about him.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
So this Jordan Hudson relationship and the dynamic and the
way she controlled that try to control that sixty minutes interview,
and you know the way she gets involved in stuff.
How much does that surprise you with the Bill you
know in the past, Cause it's just it's so it's
so hard for us to wrap our head around why
(21:00):
is he letting does this young girl control everything?
Speaker 1 (21:03):
What are your thoughts on this relationship?
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Well, I think anytime you see someone having a relationship
with a person forty nine years his junior, you're going
to be very surprised at that. So I didn't see
that coming.
Speaker 6 (21:16):
I will say this.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
About George Hudson. And she made a mistake with that
CBS interview. And I don't know. When I was twenty four,
I made a lot of mistakes too, So I was
willing to kind of, as I've gotten old, to try
to be more open minded to non traditional things. And
okay's in love with a very young woman. You know,
if Bill Belichick lets you in his professional life, and
(21:37):
she was in his professional life and probably still is
to some degree, there's a reason for it. He thinks
that professionally she is going to bring some value to
his football program. And now maybe we see now clearly
the biggest age gap in his career, right now between
himself and his players. You see at North Carolina, there's
never been that kind of age gap. So is it
(22:00):
I suppose she could help him with gen Z kids
because she's a member of that generation and he's a
member of the Baby Boomer generation born during the Korean War.
I think that's possible. I think maybe he sees that
that she could be an asset in that program and
sort of giving him an idea of intel on what
(22:20):
these kids are doing and what are their interests and
how to connect with them. And so we'll see. It
is a very non traditional relationship. But I do know
this after studying Belichick and interviewing more than three hundred
and fifty people, if he's letting you in his football life,
he thinks you will bring value. I'm not sure exactly
(22:41):
what that value is, but he does see something in
her presence. And yes, it was shocking, and I think
everybody would agree with that.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
And this is going to go over well in a
tough week for UNC fans. I wanted to thank you
before you go for the job you did on the
Coach k book a couple of years ago, because that,
to me, honestly, one of the greatest sports books I've
ever read. I read it twice. So while you're here,
I want to thank you and say great job in
that book as well.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Well, thank you. I really appreciate you saying that. I
was there. Of course when North Carolina ended his career
in the Final four.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Oh boh, you own to Duke fans. So I'm glad
you brought that up. You brought him back down to earth.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
I mean, those last two losses to North Carolina, the
final game at Duke and then in the Final four,
that was a tough way to co out, but hey,
it was a remarkable career coach K. I think even
I'd put him ahead of John Wooden on the mount.
I think he's the greatest college basketball coach ever. People
older than I am that I've talked to vehemanly disagree
(23:42):
with that because of the ten national titles, But that's
where I would put coach K.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Now, I'm in a sad place. Ian there you go.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Thank you, and you're enjoying the Bill Belichicks probably right
back crass Im here, all right, you know, Connor, the
book is Belichick The Making of the Greatest football coach
of all time.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
I'm sure a lot of heels.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Fans might be interested in that now and you can
read his stuff, including the piece about everybody chilling out
about the Belichick debut at the Athletic dot Com. Ian,
thanks so much for the perspective. We appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
That's my pleasure, guys, Thanks for having me on.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Thanks all right, there you go.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
That is Ian O'Connor joining you tried to complent the.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Band and he says, yeah, it was right there. Winning
at Carolina ended that. Moh my god, I got heart
for now. What are you laughing at?
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Dude?
Speaker 2 (24:26):
We gotta put up citty, put him guitar, heel b loose.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
After the moment, that movement to moment des are celebrating.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
He said it was one of the greatest sports books
of all time, and he threw right back at me.
That was a great book. It's always the Belichie think.
He also did the book. Recently.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
He has the Aaron Rodgers book. Also.
Speaker 5 (24:41):
Oh, he forgot about. He's becoming one of, if not
the definitive sports writer. We've lost John Feinstein. I O'Connor
right now. Is he's doing that, dude, biography is on
like huge subjects.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
He really is. He's hell of a writer.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
People are laughing at the fact he said a energetic
seventy three year old that got some very action.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
I thought, I'm imagining right.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Now, based on what he said about Jordan Hudson, maybe
she can teach him, you know what makes these young
kids tick. I just imagine her quizzing Bill on the
current young people slang and uh, you know, making sure
Bill knows what riz busting high key, low key ohio,
mid sus skibbity Ohio. I to just imagine her giving
(25:26):
Bill vocabulary and quizes if he drops in skibbity in oppressor, well,
you know what performs tonight with skimmity ohio. I'm not
gonna lie to you.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
I thought we were, thought we were.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
I think he's actually said skivity before. It's like when
he mumbles sivity unintentional, he didn unintentional skibbity. He is
the He's the most recent person to bring up the schedule.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
I was.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
I was pretty.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Surprised he was still talking eight and four. It just
they look so off the pace. Maybe it's hard for me,
even in this schedule to imagine m eight and four.
Speaker 5 (26:01):
Maybe he met eighty four like Bill assum be eighty four.
I don't know eighty four. I mean that would be
a heck of an effort.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Though, if that operation that we saw on Monday got
to eight and four. Where they're starting, Like when you
look at this schedule, where the hell is that? I
can't find it in Damn Phil steel Man, Where does
Phil still pick them? Okay, there they are. Charlotte and
Richmond are wins right bone, So that's two. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Maybe maybe I shouldn't say it, but but I say Charlotte,
let's give him wins for Charlotte and Richmond at UCF.
Speaker 7 (26:35):
They beat it in school by a touchdown last week,
So you think that's a win. It's a toss up
because it's a road game. The next two weeks Smack
are important.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Clemson and at colin Is that Sagaplace.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Would not be easy for them because it never is. Anything.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Get the way Virginia played last week at Syracuse, I
don't think is easy.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
I had them losing that game.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Before the TC Stanford, I think they're winning ye winning
at Wake, they should win then Duke in State. I
don't think that again, Belichick will make them better. They
can't get much worse. It's gonna be fascinating. How much
can they improve from where they're at? You know, I
think one thing about the players they have that and
(27:20):
I'm including myself in this fitty that we did not
really state, like I kept stating they were ninth in
the portal, right, ninth in the portal. Well, that is
because a sheer volume of transfers. If you go by
average rating, average star rating of the transfer, it's much
lower than that. Like they have mostly three star players
(27:40):
they on that football team. But in fairness to Belichick,
though fitty, he got there and the portal had already
been opened for two days, like he got a slow start.
He's recruiting high school kids well for next year's class,
and I would hope the portal class will better because
he won't be starting from behind. But the talent that's
on this team right now, man ooh.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
The two out of three bye weeks could be tricky
because if Jordan wants to go somewhere, he might get
caught in the pickle there a little bit, right, if
she wants to go to Nantucket or something, he's in trouble.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
He can't say, oh, I can't say that on a
radio Canna. He can't say I fit if she wants
to go to Nantucket.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
No, she might get at antsy there two two, two
out of three week day they're off.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
This dude says it's a clown show. I love the
way Ian tried to spin everything, including Jordan Hudson is
there to help him with college kids. Jordan Hudson's down
there annoying him on the sideline the other night.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
It was pre game.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
I tweeted that out and was like, oh, this is terrible.
It was pregame and fairness to him, and he did
seem like he was kind of ignoring her. I don't know,
he looks miserable, Like he looks more miserable bone than normal,
like New England.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Miserable was one thing.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
I just really wonder if he's going to coach these
kids and have a hard time getting through to them
because he wasn't patient with the greatest quarterback in history
of the game. He would lose his patience, right, How's
he gonna be patient with three star players?
Speaker 4 (29:04):
Like?
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Is he not gonna pull his damn hair out and
lose his mind? I just wondered, is he gonna stick
with it long?
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Phitty had a full head of hair before Monday night.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Man, he did.
Speaker 5 (29:14):
I heard she was saying, honey, Bill, why does the
guy next to me keep saying straight cash, homie? He's like,
what the guy next to me keeps saying straight cash?
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Home?
Speaker 1 (29:24):
I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
We had like we had five listeners, say Mac, she's
clearly asking him for money for the concession stand. She's
asking She's asking daddy for money real quick. I do
want to give a sycamore shout out to the fit daddy.
Second straight day he gets a sycamore shout out. Not
only and people are curious in their ask not only.
(29:46):
Sounds like Pitty was cooking last night. Ifitty had his
charm game on, it sounds like, uh, fiddy, let everybody know.
There's a new crop of listeners that haven't heard about
your date. But it sounds like you're off to a
good start.
Speaker 7 (29:58):
Yeah, I'd say so, mad. We had a great time
at a a larte there in Monroe. I kept waiting
for Sir Lorin to come in and just start wooing,
but that did not get the case. When you get
a drunk guy who got very upset with the to
go service, but had a great meal there. I went
to Sweet Frog for the first time in Monroe's.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
That's a nice that's a sweet little stop man.
Speaker 7 (30:20):
And yeah, we just had a nice, great conversation. It
was the best first date that I've ever had. And
now I'm racking my brain. She's got a lot to
do before she leaves. I've got a busy weekend with work,
trying to figure out how to squeeze.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
But she lives like all are we letna say? Well,
I'll just say she lives like on the other side
of the country. I'll just say that.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
But she's coming back.
Speaker 5 (30:40):
There's a lot of Starbucks and they throw fishes at
the wave.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Find her?
Speaker 1 (30:48):
What her name? What I gonna do? Figure out? She
lives in Seattle. Bone? I hate you know, Fitty.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
I hate the way Bone will just tell all your
business on the radio. Oh no, that's something I would
never do. Something should be sacred. I know she lives
in Seattle. They're gonna find her.
Speaker 7 (31:04):
I learned the hard way, guys. She does not live
in Seattle. She lives two and a half hours away
from Seattle. I'm just gonna pronounce the name of the
area that she lives in So I just said Seattle,
and I got corrected like three times.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Okay, Well, sounds like your relationship's off to a healthy start.
She's already correcting you. I mean, you guys are marriage
material if that's happening already.
Speaker 5 (31:27):
When we come back to wrap up Sports Radio.
Speaker 6 (31:43):
Mac, I got you back, man, I agree with you.
How dare any fan of any football team anywhere anywhere
be beholden to.
Speaker 7 (31:55):
Win and loss?
Speaker 6 (31:57):
That is just the craziest thing I've ever heard, Mac,
I completely support you. Where's the bosses?
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Don't matter who cares?
Speaker 6 (32:04):
You're exactly rotten Matt, Good luck Bryce.
Speaker 5 (32:13):
Oh, there's the great James for Maiden. On the text
line today audio form that is the New York Butcher
Chop cut of the day. Four locations, Cornelius, Indian Land,
dill Ward's Fort Male and Carry now if you're in
that area as well, and opening very soon in Belmont.
Check him out on Instagram. And why Butcher Wine Bar.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
The sniveling dirt ball doesn't deserve to be used as
the New York Butcher Shop cut to day. He should
be like the Man's Hall of Famer on the text line,
he should be the man selling Ribbi steaks on the
side of the road out of the back of a
truck call of the day, Like, that's what he should be,
didn't you.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
I did.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
I fell for it and they were horrible, And then
we tried to feed him the dog and a dog
wouldn't need him.
Speaker 5 (32:55):
What do you think back of all these places that
now you see all these advertisements are like twenty steaks
for thirty dollars.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Again I fell far once, damnit.
Speaker 5 (33:04):
But they also pull up the one in Morrisville pulls
up at the UH at the Advance Auto Park store
like they pull up in the random park and they
do they do never again the UH get some let
me get some whpeer fluid and some steaks. Now food
truck where I can get a lobster roll. Yeah, I'm
pulling in.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
But Ribbi steaks twenty for thirty bucks or whatever it is, Man,
I ain't following for that again, all right? That felt
when I got home cooked that steak and realized that's
back when I was allowed to cook steak and realized
how horrible they are, it dawned on me. You get
what you pay for, dumb ass. My god it dude,
James is sniveling little lamp.
Speaker 5 (33:40):
I saw someone do a YouTube video or they they
went to buy those steaks and they they cooked them
like on video to show you what they look like.
And it would be what do I cook in a
New Balance?
Speaker 1 (33:54):
Horrible man? All Right?

a bite into Pea's brisket and the reaction?

Speaker 2 (36:17):
God By the way the Texter that said surprise he
didn't drop the sandwich on the video, and that's uncalled for.
All Right, we need good vies, we need good excel
vibes and new season baby.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
All right.
Speaker 5 (36:30):
Brad Izick is talking this morning at his presser and
he mentioned in that there's a couple of things here.
First of all, they've asked Jimmy Horn Junior about Travis
Hunter no stone, no, no stone unturned when trying to
figure out how to handle Travis Hunters. They've asked Jimmy
Horn Junior his former college teammates, some thoughts on how
(36:51):
do you handle him? But then Newton, David Newton has
a tweet up here Mack that people are confused by
on this quote. I guess it's from Izick. The Anters
don't plan to run Cuba Hubbard dry early in the season.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
Any any idea what that means? So that means is
that a Willie p. Brisket show.
Speaker 5 (37:09):
The Panthers don't plan to run Shoba Hubbard dry early
in the season.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
That means that they're going to mix in Dowd or
they don't want to wear Shoeba down. Okay, right, I
guess so I'm guessing what that mean. Is it a
quote from Inzick?
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Yeah? Is that the way David Newton chose to paraphrase it.
Speaker 5 (37:25):
I think I think he's paraphrasing something insist well to
go to the audio form of this.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
Yeah, I assume that means that they want to work
down in. They don't want to overwork. And that's probably
why Dawdle's here, right. We want to keep Shuba healthy.
Tuba wasn't healthy at the end of the year last year,
so tuoato, but Batuba. Rub it everywhere might be overwhere
we go, run it everywhere?
Speaker 1 (37:45):
I said, you said rubbing everywhere? Running everywhere? Oh, running
every Yeah, they're rubbing everywhere. Fact of the date. Uh,
let me read some of these texts now, let me
along there from that moment.
Speaker 6 (37:55):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
Some of these texts here are on the w f
z fand text line. Some guy just drove past me
on the road. All I could hear was Max screaming
out of his car radio Blaire that Mac and bone
Joe proudly Baby.
Speaker 5 (38:09):
There's there's some guy in my apartment complex that listens
to the to the station. And one day I came
outside and he was pulling in and he had Max
selling something on the radio.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
You go, baby, if it was loans or windows or
real estate. I heard.
Speaker 5 (38:24):
I walked out of my apartment and heard your voice,
and I would oh, I had like some post traumatic
slag disorder.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
I like it, Jarvis says Mac and Bone date coaching
Fiddy is like Jordan Hudson giving plays to Belichick.
Speaker 1 (38:37):
Let's see here.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
Tar Heel Swaff says that Fiddy's date on Saturday should
be a brunch date, a bit more casual than the
first date, but still nice.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
I am rooting for you. That's from tar Heel Swaft.
Speaker 7 (38:49):
Here's the question, Mac, and maybe you could give me
some advice. If I'm going to brunch in the local
seven o four, where do I go?
Speaker 1 (38:58):
Cracker barrel? I don't know. I don't ever go to brunch.
Speaker 5 (39:04):
You can also you could also go to a sports
bar during the day with the boys and bring her
out there and she can have that second date there.
Speaker 7 (39:12):
Collection there's only one boy like I don't have multiple friends.
I've got don't go I'll go out. I ain't going
out though I'm on my couch.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
The only person that could get me to move from
my couch between noon and midnight on Saturday is missus
Mac and missus Mack. I beg you please let me
be there on the cap. I'll slip you some of
my raw chemistry coil and I'll say here you go.
Oh that could be a performance and answer right there, baby,
Let's see what else we have here. This texta says,
please Fitty wait until at least the fifth or sixth
date to propose.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
You do sound like a smitt and kitten over there,
fit dog.
Speaker 5 (39:47):
The last is Fitty gonna now apply for sports radio
jobs in Seattle area as he prepares to move with
his woman.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
Oh man, it's all on that, Fitty. I wonder what
they did.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
You see the dude that says the only date Fitty
could get is a woman that can fly back all
the way across the country and get away from his ass.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
That's cold, man, We ain't laughing at that.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
What's up with a guy bone that said, why don't
you just sit there and be quiet like a good
little helper? What was that text all about about me?
He said that how you work bones, sit there and
be quiet like a good little helper. Okay, that's my burner.
I'm sorry, I.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
Think you caught me. Bone.
Speaker 2 (40:29):
All right, we gotta get out of here, y'all. We
was that texter's name Wigma, Oh, what's his last name?
We gotta go, all right, we gotta get out of here,
all right, we have Look, we don't have time for
the guy that was calling me creepy on the text though, Bone,
we don't have time for that one.
Speaker 3 (40:45):
All right.
Speaker 1 (40:45):
We gotta get out of here. Go work out of Bone,
Go work out of Fitty. Tomorrow is a Panther football Friday.
I appreciate.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
I'd appreciate if y'all bring the intensity A Colin Hocker
Charles Sports Today coming up
Sports Radio ninety two seven WFPNZA.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
All right, you've calmed down here, although jameson Maiden left
an audio message that is testing me. It is testing
my ability to calm back down. Bone Man, Oh my god,
Panthers need to win this game. Bone, we need to
win this game.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
All right.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Anyway, Tarhel Music is playing.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Let's lock in all right, by the way, coming up
at nine twenty five, we'll talk to Ian O'Connor. He
wrote a book about Bill Belichick, and he wrote an
article on Theathletic dot com that says, basically, everybody chill out,
give Bill Belichick time and let him cook. So I
think that's a point of view Bone, and maybe a
lot of tar Heel fans will like to hear. So
(00:52):
we'll we'll, you know, talk to Ian about his thoughts
on that and just his overall knowledge of Belichick, you know,
and his thoughts on a bill making doing this old
college try here.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
But right now we're playing his music. Man Jones Angel
is here. This man is.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Here every Thursday, nine o'clock, rain or shine, win or lose,
doesn't matter what happened. This man will be here. Jones' Angel,
Voice of the tar Heels Jones. What's going on, man?
How you doing?
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Oh, guys doing great. Appreciate y'all having me on. I'm
gonna tell you we had Ian O'Connor on our podcast.
Oh I guess back in the spring, and so he's
a terrific, terrific interview, terrific guest, super knowledgeable y'all. So
I'm not gonna talk long because you've got a good
guest coming up. But man, we are certainly looking for
Tarrio's looking for a better effort on Saturday. To be sure,
(01:41):
I don't think they were pleased with much of anything
that happened on the field. It was a great day
in Chapel Hill. The atmosphere was great, the fans showed out,
I mean the energy of the buzz. It felt big
time for sure. And then after that first quarter, obviously
the Tarrios just just couldn't match that energy and execution
on the field, and looking to improve on that coming
(02:01):
up on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
What surprised you the most, because you know, I'm sure
you we talked to you about this last week, even
you around the program, you had an element of, Man,
I don't really know fully what we're going to see,
but what did surprise you the most?
Speaker 4 (02:17):
To me, it was the fact that the Tarioles that
they just never really got much rhythm going. I think
either side, it just felt like the whole night was hard.
You know, that first drive Carolina was really did have
a nice rhythm and moved down the field and looked
really good and did some stuff that they wanted to do.
(02:38):
And then all of a sudden, you know, they had
a really tough flag against them for a past interference,
and they had a weird call where they got called
for you know, Geo Lopez was called for a sack
when it looked like he had gotten out of the
tackle and was running. And so it's like it felt
like all of a sudden, things just kind of got
bogged down and everybody started getting oh man, what about that,
And it just the Heels of lost their rhythm. And
(03:01):
so I thought if through the first half, this was
still a competitive game, although Carolina did not feel like
it was playing particularly well, but that picked six late
in the late in the first half and then the
start of the second half, and it just felt like
the Heels kind of deflated at that point. And so
the lack of a rhythm the lack of really being
(03:21):
able to get into anything consistently, I think was frustrating
for Carolina. And I'll say too, you know that the
Tarles gave a lot of points and gave up a
lot of yards, and that was surprising. Now I think
some of that. I thought the Tario defense played okay
in the first half. I thought they were on the
field too much, and you started to see that as
the game went along and the score got ugly, and
(03:43):
then all of a sudden, the defense wasn't as effective.
And so I would be surprised if the Tarios continued
to give up you know, forty eight points and well
over five hundred yards as are huge numbers. I'd be
surprised if Carolina's defense continued to have those kind of
struggles as year moves along.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
Where do you think the team will improve the most
with Bill as a year goes along?
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Yeah, what a great question.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
And I do think that this game was important for
Carolina for the staff just to figure out who it
was a little bit. And you know, with so many
new players and so much you know, just knew about
all of it. You know, a lot of these coaches
have had a ton of professional experience, and this is
(04:30):
the first college game, and so just there was so
much new about everything about it that I do think
it provided a lot of valuable data points for Carolina's
staff to be able to adjust and to be able
to pave a better path forward or pave the best
path forward for the rest of the season. And so
(04:52):
I don't necessarily think bone there's like one answer to that,
where do I think? I think everything is. The anticipation
is every thing about what Carolina did is going to
get better. And I think having that opportunity to see
these guys who truly only been together on the field
for a month, and several of the key players weren't
(05:13):
even here in the spring, to have those that pieces
of information now to say, Okay, this is what this
guy looks like when the lights are on. Okay, this
guy can give us fifteen good plays, maybe not forty
good plays or whatever it is that to have those
points of information now to better move forward, I think
(05:35):
will be beneficial. And so you would fully anticipate the
Tarrio is being better in week two than they were
in week one, and then better in week six than
they are in week two, and week ten than they
are in week six, and if Carolina is still having
these troubles when you get to week eight, nine, ten,
then you're having a different discussion. But right now, Tarrio
(05:55):
is certainly not happy with how they played, fully anticipating
getting better, and the only way to do that is
to go back to work and then get back out
there on Saturday night.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
If we're still on these discussions in like week eleven,
you'll be screaming at bone by then during these segments.
That's my prediction, and I hope we're not, and I
hope they can turn it around this week. Jones and
I know yesterday Bill did his presser and it was
before they even had their first practice after the game
on Monday night. He said, Geo looks pretty good, but he,
you know, as you would expect, didn't want to reveal
(06:25):
anything about the quarterback position.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Geo's like really talented.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
I don't think you can deny like what he did
at South Alabama, but man, the way Max played when
he got out there, and that was pretty heartwarming to
see him do that and throw it the touchdown to
his brother. I do wonder, though, does Max fit the
offense better likes? What are your thoughts about these two quarterbacks,
because I do think there's a quandary there for Bill
and the staff.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Well, I think, first of all, in a night where
there weren't many things that felt good on the field,
that is, they feel good story for Max Johnson to
come back from that just such a severe injury a
year ago. I mean to the point where you know
he has said publicly, you know, there was questions of
you know, would he maybe even have to lose his leg?
(07:11):
I mean that was a legitimate discussion. And so you know,
to go through all those surgeries and all the adversity
and then to not just be able to get to
the point where you're back functioning day to day, but
you're playing football and playing very well, you know, nine
of eleven. I thought his arm looked really good, like
stronger than I remember it being when when he was
(07:31):
playing last year, and just look good and comfortable and
looked like somebody who played the position at a high
level for a while. And that's who he is. You know,
played at LSU, played at Texas A and M He's
a good player. And so I do think the answer
to your question comes down to what do the Tarios
want to be? What do they feel like they are
most successful doing offensively? You know, are they a team
(07:55):
that wants to be a power running team and play
action and more of a pro style kind of a approach.
And you know, you got your quarterback in the pocket,
and because Max Johnson's good at that, do you feel
as though you can with Geo Lopez, you know, get
him on the move and get him out of the
pocket and run some read option and all those different
things because he's really good at that. Or do you
(08:16):
kind of sprinkle in both of these guys and try
these approaches at different times. And so I think it
comes down to what do the Tarriols want to be
offensively and what do they feel like give them the
best chance to win? And ultimately that's going to be
the answer.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
It's going to be interesting to see seven o'clock kickoff
here in Charlotte over at the Jerry Jerry Rich's the
Stadium on the campus of Charlotte and Jones and the
crew on WBT and all the Tarho radio network affiliates
with the pregame at six o'clock.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Jones, we appreciate you man. We'll talk to you next week.
Ks Jones, Thanks guys, talking to you soon. Thanks.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
There you go. That is Jones' angel. That man is
accountable Bone. He is going to be here when or
lose all right for his interview, and when.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
We come back, we're gonna talk more about Bill Belichick.
A man who wrote a book on Bill Belichick and
an article this week on how everyone needs to just relax.
The great Ian O'Connor of Theathletic dot Com is next.
Sports Radio ninety two seven WFNZ.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Sports Radio ninety two seven WFNZ. James Remaidan for those
of you wondering, and I do believe that's probably his
era of you, but I'll tell you anyway. James Rere
Maidan is on one Bone man on the FanDuel text
line right now. He has segued from bashing Bryce Young
and trying to irritate me as a Panther fan to
(09:51):
now just going all in on the tar Heels right now.
He is in James, get ready for Illinois this weekend.
All right, you're on Illinois, sir.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
The baby's talking to Mini d As today, Jane, So
Hank Dight there, we'll be out.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
We got something for you.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
But anyway, a very good game, very intriguing game and
big opportunity for the Duke Blue Devils this weekend. Dare
I say, Bony also Panther fans, we will work the
Panthers in here a little bit. There's also people asking
for a Fitty date update, so we will circle back
to Fiddy's date last night. It sounds like the fit
dog had himself a night last night. Sounds like he did,
(10:27):
so we've got that coming up, and maybe XL. Maybe
we'll play the clip of XL introducing the new brisket
sandwich at Bank of America Stadium.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Bone.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
That is very entertaining.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
So all that coming up as we do our thing
here on the mac En Bone Show on a Thursday.
But right now we will focus more on Bill Belichick.
A man that has written a book about Bill Belichick
and wrote a column about Bill's debut. He's now a
writer for The Athletic and he told everybody to chill
(10:57):
out Bill started slow in New England, to chill out
and let the mand.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Do work and don't overreact.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
He is Ian O'Connor read that article at Theathletic dot com. Ian,
thank you so much for coming on man.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
How you doing.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
It's my pleasure. Thanks for having me.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Guys, Thanksan, you're I think your column is definitely reasonable, right,
Lord knows, we're on sports talk radio, so you know
we'll overreact that time for God's sakes, and you know,
and you know our listeners will that are on social media,
So I think it's definitely reasonable to have that approach.
Were you though, surprised you had to be surprised though,
by how bad it was the other night, or did
(11:34):
you kind of have a feeling it could be like that.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
I didn't think it would be that bad. And by
the way, you also had a slow start in Cleveland,
which I forgot to mention in the column. But no,
I thought they'd lose. I thought they'd be more competitive
than that. I think they'd The alarming thing for somebody
who has watched Belichick's teams over the years in New
England is just fundamentally how bad they were, and even
just a somewhat minor mistake on special teams, which is
(12:00):
Bill's specialty. His patriots were just always so great at
paying attention to detail, particularly on special teams. To have
a punter drop a snap. Now he got the kickoff,
but it was a fairly easy snap to handle. You
just don't see Belichick teams do things like that, beyond
the major mistakes they made, both defensively and offensively. Now
they get out of the gate that first possession, you're thinking, wow, okay,
(12:24):
here we go. But I thought they'd lose a more
competitive game, maybe by ten fourteen points, not by what
thirty four points? No, I didn't expect that. But when
you have seventy new players. I don't care if you're
the greatest NFL coach of all time, but when you
have seventy new players and you're starting as a college
head coach for the first time at age seventy three,
(12:47):
there were going to be some growing pains, And certainly
that was very painful if you were a North Carolina fan.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
Ian knowing Belichick like you do and following his career,
what do you think the biggest adjustments going to be
from the way he was set in his NFL ways
to this landscape of college football now.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Well, he thought he'd be a good fit because now
college sports is entirely different from what it used to be,
and that it's pay for play, and he thought this
sort of lines up with the NFL model now where
you're just paying guys, and recruiting is out the window.
It's not about building relationships. It's how much can you
pay me to go to your school. And I thought
that that was maybe a little bit of a simplistic
(13:30):
view on it because he's never coached player this young
as a head coach. Really, he's been in the NFL,
or was for forty nine consecutive seasons starting in nineteen
seventy five with the Colts as an assistant. So even
though he grew up around the Naval academy, his father
was a lifer a college coach as an assistant, I
(13:50):
just don't think he had a full understanding of what
it takes to win in major college football. And why
would he because he's never done it. And you had
a very rock solid program in TCU with a college coach,
the guy who's never coached in the NFL. That was
the worst possible program for North Carolina to play, that
(14:10):
kind of a program which has a culture in place,
a coach who's the son of a college coach, who's
been a college coach, who went to the National Championship
Game a few years ago. So I did think they
would lose, But man, The kind of flaws they showed offensively, defensively,
and even on special teams were alarming. I just think
(14:32):
that after one week of that, they could bounce back
this week, get a couple of wins under their belt.
Against the schedule that is not very difficult if you
look at it over the balance of the season, and
I suspect they're going to go eight and four. That's
something to that effect, maybe seven to five. But you know,
they didn't hire him to do that. They didn't hire
(14:53):
him to go seven and five. Mac Brown could do that.
Certainly they expected more, but I think they'll get more
next season, not this year.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Recruiting looks pretty good moving forward, you know, so so,
but but I think the results, the results have a
bearing on recruiting, So I think you want to turn
the results around.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
But I think eight four.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
I think Tario fans would take that now, you know,
based on what they saw and what they're fearing after
the other night.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
The other night I watch now, I'm just saying it
was pretty bad.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Iano kind of read his stuff the Athletic dot Com,
including this piece telling everybody to chillax all right. He
did the Aaron Rodgers R. E. L. A X when
it comes to Bill Belichick's debut. And there's also the
book out there too if you want background as a
Tar Heel fan on Bill Belichick, The Making Belichick The
Making of the Greatest football coach of all time by
our guest Ian O'Connor. Ian your your your thought on Okay,
(15:46):
you think it'll get better this year? To'll get better
moving forward? I do think though there are Heels fans
that are like, hey, he's no Spring Chicken. Will he
have patients, you know, for struggles and coaching college kids?
I mean, he he all and didn't have patience with
pros grown men. Do you have any fears that he
won't do this very long? Or do you kind of
(16:07):
think he will stick with this and see this through.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Now he's seventy three, But I do think he's a youthful,
energetic seventy three. And if they go seven and five,
he's not going to get an NFL offer, So I
do think he would want to leave for the NFL.
I just don't think that offer is going to be there,
So I think at the very least he'll be there
a second year. Now they have a recruiting class right now,
(16:32):
ranked I believe in the top fifteen, top twenty in
the country. His portal class this year, by twenty four
to seven sports, was ranked I think ninth in the country.
If some of those are a lot of those kids stay,
I think they'll get better the recruits he does have
coming in. And again I don't think this is going
to be a four and eight. Look at their schedule
(16:53):
and they could be three to one and they're missing
I think the only ranked team on their schedule is
Cleanses and so there are some winnable games there. Now
if Geo Lopez, and I don't know if he's going
to play this week, depending on his physical status after
getting hurt, but if he's not better then he showed
against TCU, then they're going to have a problem. There's
(17:13):
no question about that. Bill needs a quarterback. He proved
that in New England. He was what he lost thirteen
of his first eighteen games without Tom Brady. Brady steps
on the field and all of a sudden, you have
a dynasty. So he's going to need to find the quarterback,
whoever that person is. But and by the way, playing
Charlotte this week, you look at that program and Tim
(17:34):
alban A guy who's what, he's fifty nine years old
and he's coached mostly at smaller schools. I know he's
thatt in Nebraska, I think for a few years. But
what an opportunity for a guy like him to beat
Bill Belichick. And I don't know if they have a
legitimate shot to do that, but on that schedule. Now,
even though I said it's a light schedule, there are
a lot of opponents who are going to say, this
(17:55):
would be wonderful for our program just to beat him.
Even if North Carolina is that.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
They'll want it bad You Sonny Dikes, you could tell
how much it meant and how much he played that
kind of disrespect card and you're ignoring us and all
about like you, it's going to They're gonna get everybody's
best shot, no doubt about it.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Sorry, I was just saying, why not that you would
want to put that trophy on your or in your
trophy case as well. I beat Bill Belichick definitely as
a head coach at whatever school it is, And yeah,
that would be very meaningful.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
Ian after writing the Definitive Guide or the book on
Bill Belichick and his life and his rise and what
he became what What was it like when you heard
the news that Belichick was going to college football.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
I was surprised only because I thought he would wait
out the full NFL hiring cycle to see if he
got a job. And I don't know, maybe when he
called the New York Jets the New York Jets of
all teams, right, and they wouldn't even they wouldn't even
take a meeting with him, that that had to scare him.
And so the previous season it looked like he was
getting the Atlanta job. He didn't get that, and I
(19:08):
think he's like, I'm gonna get shut out again, and
I want to coach. I don't want to retire right
now and just do TV. So I was surprised that
he pulled the trigger as quickly as he did. But again,
when the Jets won't take a meeting with you, and
you're Bill Belichick and you dominated them for two decades
in your division, I can understand it at that level.
(19:30):
So it was a strange seeing him on the sideline.
I was there and watching him and in that building,
and I have to say, it's such a beautiful campus.
It's a beautiful setting. I've always wondered, why is North
Carolina not good in football? I understand it's a great
basketball school, you have a good recruiting area, you have
(19:50):
a great campus, good academic standing, and a good stadium.
And why hasn't North Carolina football been good over the
years or consistently good? And so they went for Belichick
and it was a great opportunity for him, and it
got off to an awful, disastrous start. But I think
he'll recover and we'll see how it plays out.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
I'll tell you, after the first drive, I thought we
had something cooking here in the state of North Carolina.
I'm not gonna lie in. I thought we had They
had the atmosphere, they got the nil money, they're committing finally,
and they had the beautiful first drive and then we
know how the rest went.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
All right, get you out of here on this question.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
This is the last question, and this is the one
and that I'm sure you knew was coming. I'm sure
this is your favorite question. But you wrote the book
about Bill Belichick, You've studied this guy.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
You you know a lot about him.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
So this Jordan Hudson relationship and the dynamic and the
way she controlled that try to control that sixty minutes interview,
and you know the way she gets involved in stuff.
How much does that surprise you with the Bill you
know in the past, Cause it's just it's so it's
so hard for us to wrap our head around why
(21:00):
is he letting does this young girl control everything?
Speaker 1 (21:03):
What are your thoughts on this relationship?
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Well, I think anytime you see someone having a relationship
with a person forty nine years his junior, you're going
to be very surprised at that. So I didn't see
that coming.
Speaker 6 (21:16):
I will say this.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
About George Hudson. And she made a mistake with that
CBS interview. And I don't know. When I was twenty four,
I made a lot of mistakes too, So I was
willing to kind of, as I've gotten old, to try
to be more open minded to non traditional things. And
okay's in love with a very young woman. You know,
if Bill Belichick lets you in his professional life, and
(21:37):
she was in his professional life and probably still is
to some degree, there's a reason for it. He thinks
that professionally she is going to bring some value to
his football program. And now maybe we see now clearly
the biggest age gap in his career, right now between
himself and his players. You see at North Carolina, there's
never been that kind of age gap. So is it
(22:00):
I suppose she could help him with gen Z kids
because she's a member of that generation and he's a
member of the Baby Boomer generation born during the Korean War.
I think that's possible. I think maybe he sees that
that she could be an asset in that program and
sort of giving him an idea of intel on what
(22:20):
these kids are doing and what are their interests and
how to connect with them. And so we'll see. It
is a very non traditional relationship. But I do know
this after studying Belichick and interviewing more than three hundred
and fifty people, if he's letting you in his football life,
he thinks you will bring value. I'm not sure exactly
(22:41):
what that value is, but he does see something in
her presence. And yes, it was shocking, and I think
everybody would agree with that.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
And this is going to go over well in a
tough week for UNC fans. I wanted to thank you
before you go for the job you did on the
Coach k book a couple of years ago, because that,
to me, honestly, one of the greatest sports books I've
ever read. I read it twice. So while you're here,
I want to thank you and say great job in
that book as well.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Well, thank you. I really appreciate you saying that. I
was there. Of course when North Carolina ended his career
in the Final four.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Oh boh, you own to Duke fans. So I'm glad
you brought that up. You brought him back down to earth.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
I mean, those last two losses to North Carolina, the
final game at Duke and then in the Final four,
that was a tough way to co out, but hey,
it was a remarkable career coach K. I think even
I'd put him ahead of John Wooden on the mount.
I think he's the greatest college basketball coach ever. People
older than I am that I've talked to vehemanly disagree
(23:42):
with that because of the ten national titles, But that's
where I would put coach K.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Now, I'm in a sad place. Ian there you go.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Thank you, and you're enjoying the Bill Belichicks probably right
back crass Im here, all right, you know, Connor, the
book is Belichick The Making of the Greatest football coach
of all time.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
I'm sure a lot of heels.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Fans might be interested in that now and you can
read his stuff, including the piece about everybody chilling out
about the Belichick debut at the Athletic dot Com. Ian,
thanks so much for the perspective. We appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
That's my pleasure, guys, Thanks for having me on.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Thanks all right, there you go.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
That is Ian O'Connor joining you tried to complent the.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Band and he says, yeah, it was right there. Winning
at Carolina ended that. Moh my god, I got heart
for now. What are you laughing at?
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Dude?
Speaker 2 (24:26):
We gotta put up citty, put him guitar, heel b loose.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
After the moment, that movement to moment des are celebrating.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
He said it was one of the greatest sports books
of all time, and he threw right back at me.
That was a great book. It's always the Belichie think.
He also did the book. Recently.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
He has the Aaron Rodgers book. Also.
Speaker 5 (24:41):
Oh, he forgot about. He's becoming one of, if not
the definitive sports writer. We've lost John Feinstein. I O'Connor
right now. Is he's doing that, dude, biography is on
like huge subjects.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
He really is. He's hell of a writer.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
People are laughing at the fact he said a energetic
seventy three year old that got some very action.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
I thought, I'm imagining right.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Now, based on what he said about Jordan Hudson, maybe
she can teach him, you know what makes these young
kids tick. I just imagine her quizzing Bill on the
current young people slang and uh, you know, making sure
Bill knows what riz busting high key, low key ohio,
mid sus skibbity Ohio. I to just imagine her giving
(25:26):
Bill vocabulary and quizes if he drops in skibbity in oppressor, well,
you know what performs tonight with skimmity ohio. I'm not
gonna lie to you.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
I thought we were, thought we were.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
I think he's actually said skivity before. It's like when
he mumbles sivity unintentional, he didn unintentional skibbity. He is
the He's the most recent person to bring up the schedule.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
I was.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
I was pretty.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Surprised he was still talking eight and four. It just
they look so off the pace. Maybe it's hard for me,
even in this schedule to imagine m eight and four.
Speaker 5 (26:01):
Maybe he met eighty four like Bill assum be eighty four.
I don't know eighty four. I mean that would be
a heck of an effort.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Though, if that operation that we saw on Monday got
to eight and four. Where they're starting, Like when you
look at this schedule, where the hell is that? I
can't find it in Damn Phil steel Man, Where does
Phil still pick them? Okay, there they are. Charlotte and
Richmond are wins right bone, So that's two. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Maybe maybe I shouldn't say it, but but I say Charlotte,
let's give him wins for Charlotte and Richmond at UCF.
Speaker 7 (26:35):
They beat it in school by a touchdown last week,
So you think that's a win. It's a toss up
because it's a road game. The next two weeks Smack
are important.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Clemson and at colin Is that Sagaplace.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Would not be easy for them because it never is. Anything.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Get the way Virginia played last week at Syracuse, I
don't think is easy.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
I had them losing that game.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Before the TC Stanford, I think they're winning ye winning
at Wake, they should win then Duke in State. I
don't think that again, Belichick will make them better. They
can't get much worse. It's gonna be fascinating. How much
can they improve from where they're at? You know, I
think one thing about the players they have that and
(27:20):
I'm including myself in this fitty that we did not
really state, like I kept stating they were ninth in
the portal, right, ninth in the portal. Well, that is
because a sheer volume of transfers. If you go by
average rating, average star rating of the transfer, it's much
lower than that. Like they have mostly three star players
(27:40):
they on that football team. But in fairness to Belichick,
though fitty, he got there and the portal had already
been opened for two days, like he got a slow start.
He's recruiting high school kids well for next year's class,
and I would hope the portal class will better because
he won't be starting from behind. But the talent that's
on this team right now, man ooh.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
The two out of three bye weeks could be tricky
because if Jordan wants to go somewhere, he might get
caught in the pickle there a little bit, right, if
she wants to go to Nantucket or something, he's in trouble.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
He can't say, oh, I can't say that on a
radio Canna. He can't say I fit if she wants
to go to Nantucket.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
No, she might get at antsy there two two, two
out of three week day they're off.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
This dude says it's a clown show. I love the
way Ian tried to spin everything, including Jordan Hudson is
there to help him with college kids. Jordan Hudson's down
there annoying him on the sideline the other night.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
It was pre game.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
I tweeted that out and was like, oh, this is terrible.
It was pregame and fairness to him, and he did
seem like he was kind of ignoring her. I don't know,
he looks miserable, Like he looks more miserable bone than normal,
like New England.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Miserable was one thing.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
I just really wonder if he's going to coach these
kids and have a hard time getting through to them
because he wasn't patient with the greatest quarterback in history
of the game. He would lose his patience, right, How's
he gonna be patient with three star players?
Speaker 4 (29:04):
Like?
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Is he not gonna pull his damn hair out and
lose his mind? I just wondered, is he gonna stick
with it long?
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Phitty had a full head of hair before Monday night.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Man, he did.
Speaker 5 (29:14):
I heard she was saying, honey, Bill, why does the
guy next to me keep saying straight cash, homie? He's like,
what the guy next to me keeps saying straight cash?
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Home?
Speaker 1 (29:24):
I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
We had like we had five listeners, say Mac, she's
clearly asking him for money for the concession stand. She's
asking She's asking daddy for money real quick. I do
want to give a sycamore shout out to the fit daddy.
Second straight day he gets a sycamore shout out. Not
only and people are curious in their ask not only.
(29:46):
Sounds like Pitty was cooking last night. Ifitty had his
charm game on, it sounds like, uh, fiddy, let everybody know.
There's a new crop of listeners that haven't heard about
your date. But it sounds like you're off to a
good start.
Speaker 7 (29:58):
Yeah, I'd say so, mad. We had a great time
at a a larte there in Monroe. I kept waiting
for Sir Lorin to come in and just start wooing,
but that did not get the case. When you get
a drunk guy who got very upset with the to
go service, but had a great meal there. I went
to Sweet Frog for the first time in Monroe's.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
That's a nice that's a sweet little stop man.
Speaker 7 (30:20):
And yeah, we just had a nice, great conversation. It
was the best first date that I've ever had. And
now I'm racking my brain. She's got a lot to
do before she leaves. I've got a busy weekend with work,
trying to figure out how to squeeze.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
But she lives like all are we letna say? Well,
I'll just say she lives like on the other side
of the country. I'll just say that.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
But she's coming back.
Speaker 5 (30:40):
There's a lot of Starbucks and they throw fishes at
the wave.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Find her?
Speaker 1 (30:48):
What her name? What I gonna do? Figure out? She
lives in Seattle. Bone? I hate you know, Fitty.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
I hate the way Bone will just tell all your
business on the radio. Oh no, that's something I would
never do. Something should be sacred. I know she lives
in Seattle. They're gonna find her.
Speaker 7 (31:04):
I learned the hard way, guys. She does not live
in Seattle. She lives two and a half hours away
from Seattle. I'm just gonna pronounce the name of the
area that she lives in So I just said Seattle,
and I got corrected like three times.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Okay, Well, sounds like your relationship's off to a healthy start.
She's already correcting you. I mean, you guys are marriage
material if that's happening already.
Speaker 5 (31:27):
When we come back to wrap up Sports Radio.
Speaker 6 (31:43):
Mac, I got you back, man, I agree with you.
How dare any fan of any football team anywhere anywhere
be beholden to.
Speaker 7 (31:55):
Win and loss?
Speaker 6 (31:57):
That is just the craziest thing I've ever heard, Mac,
I completely support you. Where's the bosses?
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Don't matter who cares?
Speaker 6 (32:04):

Oh, there's the great James for Maiden. On the text
line today audio form that is the New York Butcher
Chop cut of the day. Four locations, Cornelius, Indian Land,
dill Ward's Fort Male and Carry now if you're in
that area as well, and opening very soon in Belmont.
Check him out on Instagram. And why Butcher Wine Bar.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
The sniveling dirt ball doesn't deserve to be used as
the New York Butcher Shop cut to day. He should
be like the Man's Hall of Famer on the text line,
he should be the man selling Ribbi steaks on the
side of the road out of the back of a
truck call of the day, Like, that's what he should be,
didn't you.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
I did.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
I fell for it and they were horrible, And then
we tried to feed him the dog and a dog
wouldn't need him.
Speaker 5 (32:55):
What do you think back of all these places that
now you see all these advertisements are like twenty steaks
for thirty dollars.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Again I fell far once, damnit.
Speaker 5 (33:04):
But they also pull up the one in Morrisville pulls
up at the UH at the Advance Auto Park store
like they pull up in the random park and they
do they do never again the UH get some let
me get some whpeer fluid and some steaks. Now food
truck where I can get a lobster roll. Yeah, I'm
pulling in.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
But Ribbi steaks twenty for thirty bucks or whatever it is, Man,
I ain't following for that again, all right? That felt
when I got home cooked that steak and realized that's
back when I was allowed to cook steak and realized
how horrible they are, it dawned on me. You get
what you pay for, dumb ass. My god it dude,
James is sniveling little lamp.
Speaker 5 (33:40):
I saw someone do a YouTube video or they they
went to buy those steaks and they they cooked them
like on video to show you what they look like.
And it would be what do I cook in a
New Balance?
Speaker 1 (33:54):
Horrible man? All Right?
Speaker 2 (33:55):
Anyway, tonight we got football tonight, Baby, we got NFL tonight.

Speaker 5 (36:01):
As you said when the show began, Willie p in XL,

a bite into Pea's brisket and the reaction?

didn't drop the sandwich on the video, and that's uncalled for.
All Right, we need good vies, we need good excel
vibes and new season baby.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
All right.
Speaker 5 (36:30):
Brad Izick is talking this morning at his presser and
he mentioned in that there's a couple of things here.
First of all, they've asked Jimmy Horn Junior about Travis
Hunter no stone, no, no stone unturned when trying to
figure out how to handle Travis Hunters. They've asked Jimmy
Horn Junior his former college teammates, some thoughts on how
(36:51):
do you handle him? But then Newton, David Newton has
a tweet up here Mack that people are confused by
on this quote. I guess it's from Izick. The Anters
don't plan to run Cuba Hubbard dry early in the season.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
Any any idea what that means? So that means is
that a Willie p. Brisket show.
Speaker 5 (37:09):
The Panthers don't plan to run Shoba Hubbard dry early
in the season.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
That means that they're going to mix in Dowd or
they don't want to wear Shoeba down. Okay, right, I
guess so I'm guessing what that mean. Is it a
quote from Inzick?
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Yeah? Is that the way David Newton chose to paraphrase it.
Speaker 5 (37:25):
I think I think he's paraphrasing something insist well to
go to the audio form of this.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
Yeah, I assume that means that they want to work
down in. They don't want to overwork. And that's probably
why Dawdle's here, right. We want to keep Shuba healthy.
Tuba wasn't healthy at the end of the year last year,
so tuoato, but Batuba. Rub it everywhere might be overwhere
we go, run it everywhere?
Speaker 1 (37:45):
I said, you said rubbing everywhere? Running everywhere? Oh, running
every Yeah, they're rubbing everywhere. Fact of the date. Uh,
let me read some of these texts now, let me
along there from that moment.
Speaker 6 (37:55):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
Some of these texts here are on the w f
z fand text line. Some guy just drove past me
on the road. All I could hear was Max screaming
out of his car radio Blaire that Mac and bone
Joe proudly Baby.
Speaker 5 (38:09):
There's there's some guy in my apartment complex that listens
to the to the station. And one day I came
outside and he was pulling in and he had Max
selling something on the radio.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
You go, baby, if it was loans or windows or
real estate. I heard.
Speaker 5 (38:24):
I walked out of my apartment and heard your voice,
and I would oh, I had like some post traumatic
slag disorder.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
I like it, Jarvis says Mac and Bone date coaching
Fiddy is like Jordan Hudson giving plays to Belichick.
Speaker 1 (38:37):
Let's see here.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
Tar Heel Swaff says that Fiddy's date on Saturday should
be a brunch date, a bit more casual than the
first date, but still nice.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
I am rooting for you. That's from tar Heel Swaft.
Speaker 7 (38:49):
Here's the question, Mac, and maybe you could give me
some advice. If I'm going to brunch in the local
seven o four, where do I go?
Speaker 1 (38:58):
Cracker barrel? I don't know. I don't ever go to brunch.
Speaker 5 (39:04):
You can also you could also go to a sports
bar during the day with the boys and bring her
out there and she can have that second date there.
Speaker 7 (39:12):
Collection there's only one boy like I don't have multiple friends.
I've got don't go I'll go out. I ain't going
out though I'm on my couch.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
The only person that could get me to move from
my couch between noon and midnight on Saturday is missus
Mac and missus Mack. I beg you please let me
be there on the cap. I'll slip you some of
my raw chemistry coil and I'll say here you go.
Oh that could be a performance and answer right there, baby,
Let's see what else we have here. This texta says,
please Fitty wait until at least the fifth or sixth
date to propose.

fit dog.
Speaker 5 (39:47):
The last is Fitty gonna now apply for sports radio
jobs in Seattle area as he prepares to move with
his woman.
Speaker 1 (39:56):

they did.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
You see the dude that says the only date Fitty
could get is a woman that can fly back all
the way across the country and get away from his ass.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
That's cold, man, We ain't laughing at that.

little helper? What was that text all about about me?
