Speaker 1 (00:00):
You were listening to the Kyle Bailey Show powered by
Victory Chevy Charlotte. We're just nineteen dollars down. Could put
you in a brand new Chevrolet today, y'all.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
I'm fired up.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
You're coming through in a really, really big way right
now on the twenty third annual WFNZ Street Turkeys.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
Listen up.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
I need your help, but you're doing it already. I
just need a few more people to really get engaged.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Right now.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
We just top thirty two thousand dollars in donations, according
to my favorite shortstop, aj and Nelly from Radio One Promotions, extraordinary.
He is keeping tabs on all the money coming in.
We appreciate him. Some really big donations coming in, not
only from our friends with the Hornets and our friends
at Jack Daniels, but also just our listeners. Man Panthers
(00:59):
ps Elsucker dropped a five hundred dollars donation as soon
as the show began.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Really appreciate that.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
And then Urh just hit me up on the text
line and he said I had seen the.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
Text, but I was confused.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
He said, when you have too many beers at the
doghouse prior to the Falcons game, it's time to pay up.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
And I said, what's OURH talking about?
Speaker 3 (01:17):
And he sent me a screenshot from Sunday, September twenty
first at eleven forty am where he said, if the
Panthers win today, five hundred dollars donation for street turkeys.
That was back in September. My man has held himself
accountable to that bet, even though he apparently was many
many beers deep when he made that pledge. He has
sent us his five hundred dollars donation. So OURH, you
(01:40):
are a good man. I really appreciate that. If I've
missed any big donations or any at all, like it
doesn't matter if it's five ten dollars in fact, that
will get us there. But I want to recognize the
folks that are out there helping us make a difference
on the text line. So if I haven't seen your
receipt or if you got a good one, I know
a lot of you don't want to brag about it,
but I want to show you some love on the air,
So hit me up on the FanDuel time line seven
(02:00):
oh four five, seven oh ninety six ten. We have
until six o'clock officially, but I'll be here until seven
because of Hornet's pregame. I want to be at forty
thousand dollars donated by the time we get off the air.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
So it's very simple.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
We just passed the thirty two thousand dollars mark in donations.
I need eight hundred of you to send me a
ten dollar donation.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
You're as somebody like, we have so many.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Listeners a WFNZ, you know, between the terrestrial side and
the stream of course the podcast too. But I need
eight hundred people with a ten dollars donation. I need
sixteen hundred people listing to send me a five dollars donation,
and we are at forty thousand dollars for the twenty
third annual WFNZ Street Turkeys. Let's get there, man, Text
Street Turkeys all one word to five zero one, five
(02:44):
to five the number you're texting again, five zero one,
five to five. Text Street Turkeys, no space, all one word,
capitalization doesn't matter. You will get a response. That's a
link to a secure donation page where you can make
your donation. Already pass thirty two thousand dollars, let's get
to We have people walking up with donations with food.
This is so awesome, man, it's our signature giving event
(03:06):
of the year and a chance to feed your neighbors
in the greater Charlotte region this holiday season, and really
across the entire Charlotte metro extends to South Carolina, of course,
being how close we are to the border. So you're
gonna make a big difference, man, a really really big difference.
Dollar Bills just said, how do I donate? Grab your
phone and where you would type in the phone number
(03:26):
to text? Text five zero one, five to five. That's
the number you're texting, and then type street turkeys all
one word street turkeys one word to five zero one,
five to five. We'll get you a new you know,
I guess scoreboard update if you will. Coming up here shortly,
but just past thirty two thousand dollars donated. We're making
a hell of a difference this holiday season. Big thanks
(03:47):
to Al Wallace for stopping buying the previous segment smoke.
He was maybe it's the holiday cheer and the fact
that he's in sunny South Florida that was part of
his disposition, But he wasn't nearly as irritated about that
loss as he was the Saint's loss.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Shocking, I know.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
I think also part of that has to do with
the fact that at the end of the day, Carolina
lost to a good team on Monday and not the
New Orleans Saints.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
So I think when you realize it's a good team
you lost to, you kind of understand a little bit
more compared to a team that only had one win
on the road, you know.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Yeah, yeah, no, I mean, like again, that's why you
and I said yesterday, I was irritated because it was
a blown opportunity. It was a beatable team. That version
of San Francisco, as we all know, is a beatable team.
Carolina squandered that opportunity. But it is what it is.
You have to move on to the next one, and
unfortunately the next one is the best team in that division,
probably the best team in the NFC and football, the
(04:40):
La Rams. Are you you when I said earlier thirty
four to twenty one, you said that sounds about right.
You had previously predicted two straight road wins. You got
fifty percent of that right. What is your since this
is our last show of the week, what is your
gut feeling about Sunday against the Rams?
Speaker 4 (04:54):
It's closed until the fourth quarter and then they pull away. Okay,
you're you're expecting what better off this week? Is that?
Speaker 5 (05:00):
Why?
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Sluggish play from the Rams?
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Yeah, maybe a little bit of sluggish play from the
Rams and Carolina just plays better. And you also gotta
remember Rams are coming off a massive blowout win, so
you know, you kind of maybe let your guard down
a little bit. But like I send you to stat
ever since twenty sixteen when they moved back to LA,
their record on the road against teams in the Eastern
Standard time zone, no Central time zone, no one o'clock kicks,
(05:25):
it's one o'clock kicks against teams in the Eastern Standard
time zone, they are fifteen and seven.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Wow, that's really good, really good.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
That's might explain why you know that Sean McVeagh guy
has been getting a lot of money over the years.
But yeah, I don't think it'll change tonight or Sunday.
So I say the final score is thirty four to
twenty thirty four.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
That's just yeah, that's where my head is right now.
And of course every time I think I know what's
going to happen, the opposite happens. Like I thought that
Monday night against the Niners was going to be a
high scoring affair and those teams would combine for fifty
two to fifty five points, and instead we got to
combine twenty nine points. So you know, I think I
know how this game goes, but I've been dead wrong
about these things many times. Unfortunately. Hey, real quick, look
(06:12):
at this. Another five hundred dollars donation just came in.
Shout out to our buddy Frank from Waxaw, our friend
at Twin Peaks, one of the best listeners and best
partners here at the station, said Hey, KB Frank from Waxaw,
great cause and the Peaks in Fort Mill put in
five hundred dollars. Love working with you guys. Frank, We
love working with you as well. Brother, Thank you for
(06:33):
that so much. Incredibly generous shout out to our partners
and friends at Twin Peaks, our Carolina Panthers count down
to kickoff road game locations for select road games for
the Panthers pre game Frank's demand. I mean, that's so generous.
We really appreciate you, buddy. All Right, it is time
we go to smoke back in the Chandler vaulta WFNZ Studios.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
It's time for the best audio in sports. What did
you say? You? What? What did you say?
Speaker 6 (06:58):
Wait a minute?
Speaker 4 (07:01):
What I mean by that is all right, smokey, what
you got? All right?
Speaker 2 (07:05):
We start with the college football playoff reveal last night,
and while we're not playing that stupid six seven joke
that made everyone grolling across America, we're talking about Miami
still being behind Notre Dame, and specifically three spots behind
where Notre Dame is, and it's gotten to the point
where Ari Wasserman and Andy Staples have had enough with
this discussion.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
This is the first time in eleven years of covering
this that I feel like a team is being personally
wronged by the committee.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
And that makes you so mad.
Speaker 7 (07:39):
I think is that it is now dawned on you,
and I've been trying to tell you this for weeks.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
They're not putting Miami ahead of Notre Dame.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
They're not mad because I feel like we are all
driving out on the street and somebody erased the markers
on the road. That's what I feel like. I feel
like what we usually have come to expect and how
(08:08):
the system works and how we've navigated that we think the.
Speaker 7 (08:13):
Games need to matter and they and I get it,
because the part I don't like about this is you
essentially could have just simulated the entire season on your PlayStation.
What the hell was the point of playing.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
The game in the first place. And I made the
joke before.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
But if I were Miami, I said this to you
before the show started, I wouldn't even play next year.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
I would cancel it.
Speaker 7 (08:33):
But they can't do that because it's part of the
acc agreement Notre Dame.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
I mean, I heard Booger McFarland last night to their point.
And you and I have had multiple conversations about it
at this point, and there are some people who feel differently,
and if you're one of them, that's fine. Hit the
FanDuel text Live week and debated. But I heard Booger
McFarland last night say that, you know, when it comes
to Miami and Notre Dame, he doesn't pay attention to
the metrics because he can just watch the head to
(09:01):
head matchup. I feel like that's how most people who
played sports view this smoke, I really and I don't
want to generalize because somebody's gonna jump in and well,
I played sports and I don't see But I think
most people who do see it that way, right, They
played on the field and that's what matters. And in
a runaway opinion too, I think it's one of those
that's a clear and obvious opinion for a lot of people.
Like you'll have your detractors, but they're a very vocal minority.
(09:22):
I feel like in this situation, I agree, and like
Joey Galloway last night, well, if Miami didn't win this game,
that wouldn't be a conversation.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
But they did.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
They played the game, and they wanted like, why are
we inventing hypotheticals to avoid the actual most important data
point of them all, And that's a head to head win.
I don't the mental gymnastics that some of these analysts
and some of the committee members I think are willing
to jump through to justify what they're doing is crazy.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Just bring back to computer and let the computer decide.
I'd much ever have that I could get ticked off.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
At least that's objective. Yeah, and at least at that
point it's just a computer.
Speaker 8 (09:56):
I know.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
We've argued to this in both I and people say, well,
you know you I had the computer back then.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Yeah, we had the computer for two teams. Yeah, two,
only two? Only two?
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Now, I don't think it's the worst thing. You could
even have both. We can debate which won a way
more heavily. But yeah, I think they need to use
the obesis system to a little bit more, you know,
apply it a little bit more, at least in this
case where it's like, hey, guys, we're ignoring the most
obvious thing here for what reason to serve an agenda?
(10:24):
I don't know, Like, are the conferences too big? Is
that what we've done here, especially with scrapping divisions?
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Okay, all right, next one, once you.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Got all right, Well, speaking of college football, it's rivalry weekend,
and I know Fitti said this is the best weekend
of the year. You kind of were attracting a little bit,
but it's still a massive weekend. One of the biggest
games is NC State taking on North Carolina. It's not
the best season for iver team, but it's still big
when these two teams take on each other. And if
you don't believe me, take it from Brent Renner, who
(10:53):
calls games on the Tar Hill Radio Sports Network. He
made it clear he's not calling the game because it's
in and let's just say he doesn't like the State Capitol.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
Brian.
Speaker 9 (11:04):
I will never go to Raleigh ever, unless I'm going
to RDU and taking a flight away from Raleigh, and
and that's that's so the guys tease me, They're like,
you know, you're gonna go to Raleigh, or you know, Kenny,
can you do the Raleigh game. I'm like, Nope, you
better get somebody else. Though that's a bad decision for
me personally. I don't want to end up end up
in jail. So I wish Carolina are the best. I
(11:25):
will never go to a game of state ever.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
I thought that was hysterical. I thought that was hysterical
when I heard that this one matters to the fan
bases and not many other people. Like I'm gonna be
watching it. Of course we're gonna talk about it, and
you know, I can't wait to see, like how fired
up will Dave Dorn's team be, because we all know,
we don't we don't even need to speculate how much
(11:48):
Dave wants this game. He wants to beat North Carolina
so badly, and I think we know who's probably gonna win.
The pregame locker room speech in this one. I'm gonna
guess it's Dave Dorn, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Considering what the locker room speech we got a couple
of years ago after.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
The game that we saw. Yeah, so what do you
think here?
Speaker 3 (12:06):
I mean, does Bill his teams I think have gotten
a little better defensively. They've gotten pretty tough offensively. It
felt like go Lopez was a little better last week,
But like, do they carry that over? I think It'say
State's just going to be through the roof hype for
this game.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
They do.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
But in all these games that they've won, for out
the winning streak, it's always been something that kind of
feels miraculous that NC State wins these games. You think
back to twenty twenty one, they got the two touchdowns
within the last two and a half minutes, the bungled
off all onside kick that Carolina couldn't contain, and then
the blown coverage. And in twenty twenty two, you win
with your four string quarterback despite Carolina having Drake May.
(12:42):
Twenty twenty three, I forget which one that one that
was actually a blowout. Twenty twenty four, you had that
big pass to Noah Rodgers late in the game, with
your second or third string quarterback. There's always something weird
in this game, so I think it's gonna be closer
than what people are expecting. But then in the end
NC State still wins out. Yeah, what else you got?
Speaker 4 (13:00):
All Right? Moving over to the Hornets, it's not.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Been great and it's been a couple of days since
they played, but more and more people have been talking
about Conka Nipple on a nationwide perspective, and it's gotten
to the point where now even former players and legends
have talked about knk Nipple. The latest one coming from
one of the best sharpshooters of all time, Reggie Miller.
As he is big on con.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
He's winning Rookie of the Year, And dare I say this?
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Oh? Dare I say?
Speaker 8 (13:30):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Is he is?
Speaker 8 (13:33):
Stephen Curry going to be a little nervous? Whoa in
about fifteen years.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
All with the three point totals?
Speaker 8 (13:43):
Yes, think just go back and look at Steph's first
two or three years in terms of owners made and
what con has done this year.
Speaker 6 (13:53):
Just look at their first years. I'm just saying, if
he stays, but here's the problem. You gotta stay healthy.
Longevity seventeen years, eighteen years for Stephen Curry, ken Kahn,
cannipp will do that over a long period of time.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
I want to see it. And CON's doing it. Charlotte, Charlotte.
Oh yeah, that might be a place too. You don't
want to go to Charlotte. That might be a place too.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Well, that last part was unnecessary, says the man who
played basketball Indiana.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Well, hold on, now, you can't do that. That's a
I mean, Pacers have had a much better run.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
I mean, what are you doing in Indiana? Okay?
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Are you saying that Indiana is a kind of a
boring place to live with not much going on?
Speaker 4 (14:41):
Is at your points? If so, I'll allow it. Okay,
I'll allow it compared to here? All right, I'll allow it.
I'll allow it. I got you.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
I would much rather live in Charlotte personally, got it. Man,
Every way you slice this, his numbers are incredible. I mean,
truly he is right now, and it's early yet, we
all understand it having arguably the best rookie season of
all time.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
We'll see if it sticks.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
But it is not an exaggeration to say that kN
k Nipple is off to a start. That would constitute
the best rookie season of all time so far this year. Also,
he has more points than Zach Levine, Desmond Baine Cooper Flag,
more rebounds than bam Adebio, than Draymond Green, than Amen Thompson.
He's got more threes made than James Harden, Lari Markinen,
(15:25):
Michael Porter Junior. He's got a higher three point percentage
than Steph Curry, than Tyrese Maxe, than Clay Thompson. I mean,
I could keep going here, and then on top of that,
the most three pointers made through the first seventeen games
of a career, It's not even close. He's hit sixty
three to three pointers in the first seventeen games of
his career. That's number one all time. The next closest
(15:48):
Jordan Hawkins, who yeah, it's the right response, Jordan Hawkins.
Armandi Brooks tied for forty seven. That's sixteen behind him.
Dame Lillard had forty three, Benedict mathrin to Luca Doncik
forty one, Laurie market In forty one. kN Nipple has
hit sixty three threes in his first seventeen games. So,
I mean, Reggie's doing what we all like to do.
(16:10):
In sports talk, radio, and that's extrapol eight. And you said,
wha man, all of Steph Curry fifteen years ago. We
got a long way to go, but the start that
he's off to is is absolutely historic in every conceivable way.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
What else you got? All Right?
Speaker 2 (16:24):
We end with feast week as it's college basketball's first
major weekend across the board, and right now is the
Player's Era Championship Tournament taking place in Las Vegas, and
Creighton took on Baylor two nights ago. It was a
tough loss for the Blue Jays, but there was one
call in particular that really stuck out in the voice
of the Blue Jays John Bishop As. There was a
(16:46):
blocking call that was called late when Crayton still had
a shot that shouldn't have been called, and it led
to one of the greatest rants in recent sports memory.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Car into the pain with the dunk blocking foul. What
are you talking about? That was two seconds after the
planned car driving. He's outside the circle.
Speaker 10 (17:10):
He's outside the circle and he's set. He was outside
the circle and he was set, Prett.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
Smith blew it.
Speaker 10 (17:19):
He was outside the restricted area.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
He was straight up and down.
Speaker 10 (17:23):
He was set like the statue sitting.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
Out in front of New York, New York.
Speaker 10 (17:27):
And they called that. That an absolutely horse crap call
in a game that's been played out like this, unbelievable
failout call, fighting confident referee.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
And Paul don't lie.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
That's what I was hoping you squeeze in there. They
missed the first free throw.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
And bal don't lie. Oh that was so great.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
I mean that was like Willie p but two octaves lower,
just angry going at the officials right with a Midwestern accent.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
I was so good. Hars crap.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
God, it was a bad call. It shouldn't have been
a charge, but it was not even close to being touched.
It should have been a no call.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
It was horrible.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
I mean that guy his head popped off his shoulders
on a rocket ship to the out to outer space.
And then you watch the video replay, like even Brian Anderson,
who had the call on True TV, uh, let's say,
had his own questions about the call. It wasn't nearly
that animated. But man, what a call by the Creighton
play by play guy. That's tremendous. That's what did you say?
(18:31):
The best audio in the world of sports seven oh
four five seven ninety six to ten. Hit us up
on the FanDuel text line as always, but today hit

if you're out there, just understand that we are getting
close to the forty thousand dollars goal that this drive
tries to meet every single year.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
At least.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
I think that's where we should be every year, and
we have been on multiple occasions, and y'all are coming
through in a really big way. It's why I love
this community. It's why I love the city. I know,
with smoke, I'm preaching to the choir on that, but
you know I love living in Charlotte. I love the
people here, love the sense of community, and that's on
display every year here on Thanksgiving Eve, on Street Turkey's Day,
and it goes all the way back to pac Man
(23:07):
and the originators of this event twenty three years ago.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
We've kept it alive.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
You have really been the fuel and the engine that
have kept this thing going for nearly a quarter century.
And so we can't slow down. Now we're at thirty
four thousand dollars. I need six hundred people out there
listening to text in a ten dollars donation. Okay, I
need twelve hundred people to text in a five dollars donation.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
If we do that right now, we're done.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Now.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
I don't want to stop raising money, but we will have.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Met the goal. I'll stop badgering you and pestering you
as much. But one day of the year, our signature
giving event. This is where our focus is and should
be helping our friends and neighbors, helping Second Harvest, Food
Bank of Metro Lona, and helping Norish up to feed
people this holiday season. There are a lot of folks
down on their luck, people who have lost a job
unexpectedly around the holidays, lost a job at the end
(23:54):
of summer, and trying to find a new one, and
they just need a little help. You got people that
have run on a heart times, medical reasons, things like that,
that need a holiday meal now for Christmas, or just
general help, a hand up, as they like to say,
especially this time of year where you know stress can
be high and you're trying to find money for bills
and Christmas gifts and everything else, trying to put food
(24:16):
on the table for Thanksgiving, y'all can make a difference.
Even a five dollars donation, I promise you will make
a big difference. So text Street Turkeys all one word
to five zero one, five to five. That's street turkeys
all one word to five zero one, five to five.
Let's make a difference. Let's get to forty thousand dollars.
I promise you we can do this. And thank you
to all of our sponsors here for street Turkeys. Obviously
(24:39):
ram Pavement there with us every year, one of our
most cherished partners in what we do throughout the year.
But also one Cloud proud supporters and sponsors.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
Of street Turkeys.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
They've made a donation earlier today, late this morning, I
believe to tr Lawing proud supporters and sponsors also of
street Turkeys. They made a donation today sometime around lunch
and you can chip in too, So hit us up
seven oh four, hit us up to pardon me, tech
Street Turkeys to five zero one five five. I know
all these text numbers can be confusing. Tech Street Turkeys
to five zero one, five to five.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Now.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
The FanDuel text line is also open for business as always,
and failed Riz on the text line said, donation done.
WFNZ guys are the best in the business. Thank you
for being awesome and supporting our community. Now all I
want for Christmas is for you guys to do the
same for Bryce.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
Go Panthers.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
So he thanks us for supporting the community, and now
all he wants us to do is do the same
for Bryce. I have to ask you, in all honesty,
do you, I mean, have we been unsupportive of Bryce?
I don't think we've been unsupportive of Bryce. I don't
think anybody this show. Maybe once or twice on a
Monday following a bad performances.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Maybe the Saints game, But like we also, yeah, we're
not fully supporting him in terms of wanting to give
him a new contract, but we're also trying to be
as fair as possible with him.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
I yeah, yeah, I mean I don't think he's I
don't think that he is wanted for support for the
most part, I think a lot of people there are
people who haven't wanted to, but there are plenty of
people who have. So thank you for your donation, thank
you for your generosity. But I don't know that Bryce
really has lacked support on WFNZ. We can argue about that,
all right. Seven oh four five seven ninety six ten
(26:18):
Rivalry Weekend coming up in college football, Smoke what game
are you most looking forward to?
Speaker 4 (26:23):
What game are you most fired up for?
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Well, that's pretty tough because there's a lot of one
that I'm really excited for, But I feel like you
kind of have to be most excited for noon kickoff
on Fox between Ohio State and Michigan, just because you know,
we've kind of not really been paying attention to Ohio State.
It feels like they've kind of been on simulation mode
(26:46):
since the win against Texas because the Big Ten outside
of two or three schools have not really been good.
I mean outside of Oregon and Indiana, and I would
maybe argue Michigan because Michigan's been pretty good this year.
It's been a barren wasteland and it feels like jobbers
to the stars for all those schools, and it doesn't
feel like Ohio State's been tested since Week one. And
(27:07):
even then, I kind of feel like this Texas team is.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
Not as good as people make them out to be.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
It's just you know, their brand, they got a manning,
and they're in the SEC. So we're gonna give them
every single conceivable doubt, you know, to make sure that
they're still somewhat in the hunt. Even if they shouldn't be,
so I kind of want to see how this Ohio
State team gets tested. And plus the tables have turned
in that rivalry over the past half decade. It's now
Michigan that's been to Daddy for the longest time. It
(27:33):
was Ohio State as a kid. There's only been two
times I think in my watching period of college football
that Michigan had beaten Ohio State, and one of them
was with Bratty Hoak up until they started winning this
current win streak.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
So I think that one's up there.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
I think Georgia Tech and Georgia's up there because I
think we're gonna get a better Georgia Tech team this weekend.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
You do, yes, they got nothing to lose. I think
they're getting whooped, but go ahead. I mean, they got
nothing to lose.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
I think that I definitely want to see Texas A
and m Texas just so we can make sure that
the Longhorns are completely dead and make sure that the
you know, the committee doesn't get any opportunity to get
him in. So I think that's definitely up there, and
I'll say it, I'm interested in even though it's not
the game that's probably gonna be watched most across the
nation definitely won't. I'm interested to see what we get
(28:21):
in this Wake Duke game. Okay, all right, because I'm
as a Duke fan. I'm worried that Duke's gonna lose
this game because somehow someway Jake Dickard finds a way.
It doesn't matter what type of quarterback plays he's had
this year, most of it not really been good because
Robby Asterord. We all know why Robby Asher is that
Wake because he's not been a good quarterback. Yep, he's
been all right, but it just they grind out wins.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
I'm looking to see how Miami show.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
I mean, this is like it's not your classic rivalry
weekend matchup, okay, but like Miami at Pittsburgh obviously has
massive implications. Okay, Miami's favored by six and a half
on the road. I think Miami is the better team
and that they should win the game. But this also
feels like a spot where Mario Christobal has led us
(29:08):
down many and I say us that, you know, the
college football world expecting them to win. They've got everything
on the line, every reason to show up focused and prepared.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
But do they smoke. Do they against Pittsburgh on the
road at Akrasher Stadium. That's the thing too.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Up there, that's the thing too, because pittsmanh played like
we laughed and rightfully so criticized Pat and Ardozi for
saying Notre Dame is not a must win game.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
We're focused on winning the ACC.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
But then you look at what he did this past
weekend against Georgia Tech at Bobby Dodds Stadium, right, and
now you're going into that mess, you know, if you're Miami,
you know, and you look at miami schedule outside of
the win to get against Notre Dame, and ever since
they lost those two games, they've been playing a lot
of cupcakes. Syracuse, that's a cupcake. Yeah, you think about
(29:56):
I'm trying to think who they played last week? Oh sorry, thanks, yeah, sorry.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
Now we've moved on to Franklin Ar It's okay, we
moved on to frank Although you know, I shouldn't say
that because we are hyper focused in Blacksburg on beating
Virginia and spoiling their season.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
Tomorrow, which I well, I honestly do.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
I mean, history says yes, but I'm not going to
bank on it. I mean, it would be hilarious to
me if that happens. But no, I mean, I just
I wonder about Miami in that spot. Will they be prepared,
will they show up? Or after all of the handwringing
and even guys like me who sports hate the hell
out of Miami but have been willing to come to
their defense in this college football playoff you know, fiasco
(30:36):
as I see it, you know, to go ahead and
embarrass all of us by losing at Pittsburgh on Saturday
and thus making the whole thing a moot point and
a waste of time arguing on behalf of the hurricane.
So that's one I noticed. There's no no mention of
Clemson South Carolina bear.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
I know, I just I It's.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Just I don't think either Neither coach is getting.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
Fired, neither one.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Neither team's going to the playoff, neither team's playing for
a conference championship like it Really, this one's all about pride.
Both teams are limping in, Both fan bases think their
team sucks, and the other team is going to run
away with it. It's just not it's the polar opposite
of what we thought would be the case. Like we
thought that South Carolina might just be the epicenter of
the college football universe this year. Coming in Clemson was
(31:22):
a title contender, Kate club Nick was finally going to
emerge as a Heisman winner and a Heisman contender, and
you know, be the quarterback they always hoped he'd be.
Lenora Sellers was gonna take off, and Shane Biemer and company,
fresh off of narrowly missing the playoff, you know they'd
bounce back and this year they'd show the doubters. And
instead we have a wampwomp of a Palmetto Bowl that
(31:43):
almost nobody's excited about for any reason, not even their
own fan bases. So we got that going on there.
What else the other games that.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
We talked, Let's talk about the Bowl because there's gonna
be a lot of stuff going especially Mississippi State gets
off to an early lead, and I wouldn't be shocked
because Missisippi State's played a lot of teams tough, especially
when it's in Stark Vegas. You tell me he ain't
gonna play Ole Mess tough. And then Ole miss with
all the stuff that's been going on off the field
with their coaching with Lane Kiffin, you tell me this
(32:13):
ain't gonna be a close egg ball.
Speaker 4 (32:15):
That's a good point.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
I mean Vandy and Tennessee, as we talked about yesterday
with Ryan McGee, that's a ranked matchup for the first
time since what the nineteen thirties, I.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
Believe thank you said ever? They said, Oh he said ever,
that's right he did. That's right.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
Ever is the first ranked matchup between these two teams.
So there's some big ones. We haven't even gotten to
some of the biggest ones yet. But right now we
got to go to smoke on the headlines.
Speaker 4 (32:35):
Who is smoke? Where is smoke? Where there's smoke, there's fire.
Let's go all right smoking? What you got? All right, Kyle?
Speaker 2 (32:43):
Well, a couple of news and notes when it comes
to the coaching carousel and college football. On the surface,
just kind of sounded confusing, but it makes a little
bit more sense when you look deeper into it. Jim
Moore Junior has been a head coach at Yukon since
about twenty twenty two, done a really good job at Yukon.
In fact, Huskies almost have ten wins this season, But
now he's leaving the Huskies to go join Colorado State.
(33:06):
Apparently Colorado State has a lot of money in Colorado
Springs and they're also in a conference.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
You sent me that story when it broke, and I
thought that was a typo. Like I had to read that.
I had to read that headline like four times, Like
what do you mean Jim Mora Junior's leaving Yukon for
Colorado State? I mean no, I guess I was gonna
say no disrespect to Colorado State. With disrespect, that's what
I'm doing. Like why does he just want to live
in Colorado closer to home for him?
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Yeah, because remember he's a Washington guy, that's true, and
Colorado State, I think, has a lot of money and
during the conference, and you're never going to be the
main guy in a Yukon okay, because you're conveeting against
two basketball programs.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
Yeah, but like when you're when you're well paid, and
like Yukon does have a history of being pretty decent
in football. You're right if he's a West Coast guy,
that part makes some sense to.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
Because remember he was flirting with the Washington Huskies job
when he was the head coach.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
Of the Falcons. Just maybe quality of life too. Yeah, listen,
his dad was a successful NFL coach. I don't I
won't presume to know what his inheritance looks like, but
I doubt that Jim More Junior is hurting for money.
Maybe he just wants to live in the Mountain West
to get out of the congestion of the northeast.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
By the way, today's the anniversary of that rant. Oh wow,
really yeap twenty four years? But do you want to
get this utther one in. It's not been made official.
There's been a lot and then he hasn't signed a
deal yet, but a lot of people are talking about
USF coach Alex Golish likely being the next head coach
of the Arkansas Razorbacks. Really yes, so they're be a fan. Nothing, Yeah,
(34:37):
nothing has been made official. USF has said they have
not heard anything from Golish, and Golish has not released
a statement. Pete famil, none of them have been saying
that this is a done deal. But a lot of
smoke surrounding Alex Golish in Arkansas, So that means Kyle.
With Alex Golish being a former member of Soviet Russia
as a kid, the sec going Soviet Russia Communism coming
(35:00):
to the sec.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
Yeah, come on, by the way.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
Unsold ticket says Colorado's States and Fort Collins. I know that,
did you say Boulder?
Speaker 2 (35:10):
I got a confusal fair force, I said Colorado, pray
at Colorado's.
Speaker 4 (35:14):
I didn't catch that. I'm bad.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
That's all right, hey, to be fair, you've never been
to Colorado. I've never been west of the May Met
Mississippi River, and I've never been more for the Mason
Dixon Line.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
We'll have to change that at some point. All right,
we'll come back. We'll tell you who balled out. Roman
Harper scheduled to join us in fifteen minutes. It's the
twenty third annual WFNZ Street Turkeys, presented by Ram Pavement.

Speaker 2 (37:06):
He had a big offensive night twenty two points, six
of eleven from the field, five of seven from behind
the arc as the cow Golden Bears upset UCLA in
a non conference game.
Speaker 4 (37:17):
That does not sound right. Uh, that's it's weird. Yeah,
it's really weird.
Speaker 3 (37:23):
I am given the theme and the reason for the
season today, I'm going with the WFNZ listeners. Folks, we
are not there yet, but you are doing the damn
thing today. No sooner than AJ and Ellie handed me
the update that we were closing in on thirty five
thousand dollars. He just came back during the break. We're
at thirty eight thousand dollars. Y'all are doing the damn
(37:44):
thing out there. We are so close. We are so close. Okay,
I am twenty two hundred dollars away from hitting the
goal of forty thousand. We're not gonna stop there, all right.
We're not gonna stop there, because this is about helping people.
The more money we raise, it goes direct lead of
buying food. Okay, that's all we're doing here, collecting food
and buying food for our neighbors. Y'all are coming through. Man,
(38:07):
this is unbelievable. I'm about to get emotional here. The
way you've come together in the last hour and forty
five minutes has been truly amazing.
Speaker 4 (38:15):
I need you to get me over the hump. Okay.
We have just over two thousand dollars to go. You
know what that means, right?
Speaker 3 (38:21):
I need four hundred more people to make a five
dollar donation. I need two hundred people to make a
ten dollars donation. That's gonna get us there fifteen twenty
twenty five dollars Lake Norman Shannon shout out to her.
She just sent me a receipt one hundred three dollars
and twenty cent donation from her. I'm not quite sure
if there's some I think there's a fee on that.
(38:42):
I think maybe she just picked a random number. Maybe
I don't know, but that's incredible. Shannon, thank you so
much for that donation. We are just about two thousand
dollars shy of hitting our forty thousand dollars goal today.
Speaker 4 (38:53):
We may have to reset the goal of forty five.
Don't wait for.
Speaker 3 (38:56):
Somebody else to do this. I promise you it'll make
you feel better. It's not gonna take much at all.
Skip the extra beer at the bar tonight, or just
feel generous to make a five or ten dollars donation.
If a bunch of you do that right now, we're
gonna get to forty thousand dollars raise. And that's on
top of the tens of thousands of pounds of food
that have been donated here today at the WFNZ Doghouse
(39:16):
powered by Jack Daniels. I know you come here for
sports every day. I appreciate that we try to bring
the best we have to you each and every day.
But this show is unlike all the others we do
throughout the course of the year. This one is about
using the power of the WF and Z airwaves, of
ninety two point seven FM, of our stream, of our listenership,
our social media following, and using that and your generosity
(39:38):
and how much we know you love this city to
help your neighbors in need. Second Harvest, Food Bank of
Metrolina and Nourish Up will make I keep saying we'll
make a difference. I mean what they can do to
take these resources and put food in the bellies of
the people that you live with, next to that you
interact with every single day at work, at school, at
the gas station. We got folks out there, are hard
(40:00):
working folks that need help this time of year. So
if you can bring us a frozen turkey or three,
bring us a box of canned goods, boxed goods, or
simply if you can't make it here, make a monetary
donation by texting Street Turkeys all one word to five
zero one five five. That's five zero one five to five.
That's the phone number. I've had a few people text
(40:21):
to FanDuel text line and send me five zero one
five to five.
Speaker 4 (40:24):
Doesn't quite work like that.
Speaker 3 (40:26):
Think of the phone number that you are plugging in
to text someone right, instead of seven oh four dot
dot dot dot dot right the number that's where you
put in five zero one, five to five. And in
the body of that text message only type street turkeys,
no space between the words all one word, Just type
street turkeys. When you send that text, you should receive
(40:46):
a response with a link to a secure donation page
that will take your right to the page and will
allow you to donate whatever you're able to give. And
I promise you it doesn't have to be five hundred
dollars or two fifty or one hundred, five, ten twenty.
We'll get us there. It will make a massive difference.
It puts on display the power of the WF and
Z listener, the power of radio, quite frankly, and the
(41:08):
power of community. As I think we all know that
we live in one of the greatest cities in America.
So tech street Turkeys to five zero one five five
to make a donation.
Speaker 4 (41:17):
We'll come back.
Speaker 3 (41:18):
We are scheduled to talk to Roman Harper, two time
Pro Bowler, Super Bowl champion, SEC Network analyst.
Speaker 4 (41:24):
We hope he's still going to be on time and
with us today. We'll talk some college football.
Speaker 3 (41:27):
We'll get his thoughts on the panthers rough Monday night
loss to the forty nine ers, and a whole lot more.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
I need your help, but you're doing it already. I
just need a few more people to really get engaged.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Right now.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
We just top thirty two thousand dollars in donations, according
to my favorite shortstop, aj and Nelly from Radio One Promotions, extraordinary.
He is keeping tabs on all the money coming in.
We appreciate him. Some really big donations coming in, not
only from our friends with the Hornets and our friends
at Jack Daniels, but also just our listeners. Man Panthers
(00:59):
ps Elsucker dropped a five hundred dollars donation as soon
as the show began.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Really appreciate that.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
And then Urh just hit me up on the text
line and he said I had seen the.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
Text, but I was confused.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
He said, when you have too many beers at the
doghouse prior to the Falcons game, it's time to pay up.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
And I said, what's OURH talking about?
Speaker 3 (01:17):
And he sent me a screenshot from Sunday, September twenty
first at eleven forty am where he said, if the
Panthers win today, five hundred dollars donation for street turkeys.
That was back in September. My man has held himself
accountable to that bet, even though he apparently was many
many beers deep when he made that pledge. He has
sent us his five hundred dollars donation. So OURH, you
(01:40):
are a good man. I really appreciate that. If I've
missed any big donations or any at all, like it
doesn't matter if it's five ten dollars in fact, that
will get us there. But I want to recognize the
folks that are out there helping us make a difference
on the text line. So if I haven't seen your
receipt or if you got a good one, I know
a lot of you don't want to brag about it,
but I want to show you some love on the air,
So hit me up on the FanDuel time line seven
(02:00):
oh four five, seven oh ninety six ten. We have
until six o'clock officially, but I'll be here until seven
because of Hornet's pregame. I want to be at forty
thousand dollars donated by the time we get off the air.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
So it's very simple.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
We just passed the thirty two thousand dollars mark in donations.
I need eight hundred of you to send me a
ten dollar donation.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
You're as somebody like, we have so many.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Listeners a WFNZ, you know, between the terrestrial side and
the stream of course the podcast too. But I need
eight hundred people with a ten dollars donation. I need
sixteen hundred people listing to send me a five dollars donation,
and we are at forty thousand dollars for the twenty

to text? Text five zero one, five to five. That's
the number you're texting, and then type street turkeys all
one word street turkeys one word to five zero one,
five to five. We'll get you a new you know,
I guess scoreboard update if you will. Coming up here shortly,
but just past thirty two thousand dollars donated. We're making
a hell of a difference this holiday season. Big thanks
(03:47):
to Al Wallace for stopping buying the previous segment smoke.
He was maybe it's the holiday cheer and the fact
that he's in sunny South Florida that was part of
his disposition, But he wasn't nearly as irritated about that
loss as he was the Saint's loss.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Shocking, I know.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
I think also part of that has to do with
the fact that at the end of the day, Carolina
lost to a good team on Monday and not the
New Orleans Saints.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
So I think when you realize it's a good team
you lost to, you kind of understand a little bit
more compared to a team that only had one win
on the road, you know.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Yeah, yeah, no, I mean, like again, that's why you
and I said yesterday, I was irritated because it was
a blown opportunity. It was a beatable team. That version
of San Francisco, as we all know, is a beatable team.
Carolina squandered that opportunity. But it is what it is.
You have to move on to the next one, and
unfortunately the next one is the best team in that division,
probably the best team in the NFC and football, the
(04:40):
La Rams. Are you you when I said earlier thirty
four to twenty one, you said that sounds about right.
You had previously predicted two straight road wins. You got
fifty percent of that right. What is your since this
is our last show of the week, what is your
gut feeling about Sunday against the Rams?
Speaker 4 (04:54):
It's closed until the fourth quarter and then they pull away. Okay,
you're you're expecting what better off this week? Is that?
Speaker 5 (05:00):
Why?
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Sluggish play from the Rams?
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Yeah, maybe a little bit of sluggish play from the
Rams and Carolina just plays better. And you also gotta
remember Rams are coming off a massive blowout win, so
you know, you kind of maybe let your guard down
a little bit. But like I send you to stat
ever since twenty sixteen when they moved back to LA,
their record on the road against teams in the Eastern
Standard time zone, no Central time zone, no one o'clock kicks,
(05:25):
it's one o'clock kicks against teams in the Eastern Standard
time zone, they are fifteen and seven.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Wow, that's really good, really good.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
That's might explain why you know that Sean McVeagh guy
has been getting a lot of money over the years.
But yeah, I don't think it'll change tonight or Sunday.
So I say the final score is thirty four to
twenty thirty four.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
That's just yeah, that's where my head is right now.
And of course every time I think I know what's
going to happen, the opposite happens. Like I thought that
Monday night against the Niners was going to be a
high scoring affair and those teams would combine for fifty
two to fifty five points, and instead we got to
combine twenty nine points. So you know, I think I
know how this game goes, but I've been dead wrong
about these things many times. Unfortunately. Hey, real quick, look
(06:12):
at this. Another five hundred dollars donation just came in.
Shout out to our buddy Frank from Waxaw, our friend
at Twin Peaks, one of the best listeners and best
partners here at the station, said Hey, KB Frank from Waxaw,
great cause and the Peaks in Fort Mill put in
five hundred dollars. Love working with you guys. Frank, We
love working with you as well. Brother, Thank you for
(06:33):
that so much. Incredibly generous shout out to our partners
and friends at Twin Peaks, our Carolina Panthers count down
to kickoff road game locations for select road games for
the Panthers pre game Frank's demand. I mean, that's so generous.
We really appreciate you, buddy. All Right, it is time
we go to smoke back in the Chandler vaulta WFNZ Studios.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
It's time for the best audio in sports. What did
you say? You? What? What did you say?
Speaker 6 (06:58):
Wait a minute?
Speaker 4 (07:01):
What I mean by that is all right, smokey, what
you got? All right?
Speaker 2 (07:05):
We start with the college football playoff reveal last night,
and while we're not playing that stupid six seven joke
that made everyone grolling across America, we're talking about Miami
still being behind Notre Dame, and specifically three spots behind
where Notre Dame is, and it's gotten to the point
where Ari Wasserman and Andy Staples have had enough with
this discussion.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
This is the first time in eleven years of covering
this that I feel like a team is being personally
wronged by the committee.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
And that makes you so mad.
Speaker 7 (07:39):
I think is that it is now dawned on you,
and I've been trying to tell you this for weeks.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
They're not putting Miami ahead of Notre Dame.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
They're not mad because I feel like we are all
driving out on the street and somebody erased the markers
on the road. That's what I feel like. I feel
like what we usually have come to expect and how
(08:08):
the system works and how we've navigated that we think the.
Speaker 7 (08:13):
Games need to matter and they and I get it,
because the part I don't like about this is you
essentially could have just simulated the entire season on your PlayStation.
What the hell was the point of playing.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
The game in the first place. And I made the
joke before.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
But if I were Miami, I said this to you
before the show started, I wouldn't even play next year.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
I would cancel it.
Speaker 7 (08:33):
But they can't do that because it's part of the
acc agreement Notre Dame.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
I mean, I heard Booger McFarland last night to their point.
And you and I have had multiple conversations about it
at this point, and there are some people who feel differently,
and if you're one of them, that's fine. Hit the
FanDuel text Live week and debated. But I heard Booger
McFarland last night say that, you know, when it comes
to Miami and Notre Dame, he doesn't pay attention to
the metrics because he can just watch the head to
(09:01):
head matchup. I feel like that's how most people who
played sports view this smoke, I really and I don't
want to generalize because somebody's gonna jump in and well,
I played sports and I don't see But I think
most people who do see it that way, right, They
played on the field and that's what matters. And in
a runaway opinion too, I think it's one of those
that's a clear and obvious opinion for a lot of people.
Like you'll have your detractors, but they're a very vocal minority.
(09:22):
I feel like in this situation, I agree, and like
Joey Galloway last night, well, if Miami didn't win this game,
that wouldn't be a conversation.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
But they did.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
They played the game, and they wanted like, why are
we inventing hypotheticals to avoid the actual most important data
point of them all, And that's a head to head win.
I don't the mental gymnastics that some of these analysts
and some of the committee members I think are willing
to jump through to justify what they're doing is crazy.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Just bring back to computer and let the computer decide.
I'd much ever have that I could get ticked off.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
At least that's objective. Yeah, and at least at that
point it's just a computer.
Speaker 8 (09:56):
I know.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
We've argued to this in both I and people say, well,
you know you I had the computer back then.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Yeah, we had the computer for two teams. Yeah, two,
only two? Only two?
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Now, I don't think it's the worst thing. You could
even have both. We can debate which won a way
more heavily. But yeah, I think they need to use
the obesis system to a little bit more, you know,
apply it a little bit more, at least in this
case where it's like, hey, guys, we're ignoring the most
obvious thing here for what reason to serve an agenda?
(10:24):
I don't know, Like, are the conferences too big? Is
that what we've done here, especially with scrapping divisions?
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Okay, all right, next one, once you.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Got all right, Well, speaking of college football, it's rivalry weekend,
and I know Fitti said this is the best weekend
of the year. You kind of were attracting a little bit,
but it's still a massive weekend. One of the biggest
games is NC State taking on North Carolina. It's not
the best season for iver team, but it's still big
when these two teams take on each other. And if
you don't believe me, take it from Brent Renner, who
(10:53):
calls games on the Tar Hill Radio Sports Network. He
made it clear he's not calling the game because it's
in and let's just say he doesn't like the State Capitol.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
Brian.
Speaker 9 (11:04):
I will never go to Raleigh ever, unless I'm going
to RDU and taking a flight away from Raleigh, and
and that's that's so the guys tease me, They're like,
you know, you're gonna go to Raleigh, or you know, Kenny,
can you do the Raleigh game. I'm like, Nope, you
better get somebody else. Though that's a bad decision for
me personally. I don't want to end up end up
in jail. So I wish Carolina are the best. I
(11:25):
will never go to a game of state ever.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
I thought that was hysterical. I thought that was hysterical
when I heard that this one matters to the fan
bases and not many other people. Like I'm gonna be
watching it. Of course we're gonna talk about it, and
you know, I can't wait to see, like how fired
up will Dave Dorn's team be, because we all know,
we don't we don't even need to speculate how much
(11:48):
Dave wants this game. He wants to beat North Carolina
so badly, and I think we know who's probably gonna win.
The pregame locker room speech in this one. I'm gonna
guess it's Dave Dorn, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Considering what the locker room speech we got a couple
of years ago after.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
The game that we saw. Yeah, so what do you
think here?
Speaker 3 (12:06):
I mean, does Bill his teams I think have gotten
a little better defensively. They've gotten pretty tough offensively. It
felt like go Lopez was a little better last week,
But like, do they carry that over? I think It'say
State's just going to be through the roof hype for
this game.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
They do.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
But in all these games that they've won, for out
the winning streak, it's always been something that kind of
feels miraculous that NC State wins these games. You think
back to twenty twenty one, they got the two touchdowns
within the last two and a half minutes, the bungled
off all onside kick that Carolina couldn't contain, and then
the blown coverage. And in twenty twenty two, you win
with your four string quarterback despite Carolina having Drake May.
(12:42):
Twenty twenty three, I forget which one that one that
was actually a blowout. Twenty twenty four, you had that
big pass to Noah Rodgers late in the game, with
your second or third string quarterback. There's always something weird
in this game, so I think it's gonna be closer
than what people are expecting. But then in the end
NC State still wins out. Yeah, what else you got?
Speaker 4 (13:00):
All Right? Moving over to the Hornets, it's not.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Been great and it's been a couple of days since
they played, but more and more people have been talking
about Conka Nipple on a nationwide perspective, and it's gotten
to the point where now even former players and legends
have talked about knk Nipple. The latest one coming from
one of the best sharpshooters of all time, Reggie Miller.
As he is big on con.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
He's winning Rookie of the Year, And dare I say this?
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Oh? Dare I say?
Speaker 8 (13:30):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Is he is?
Speaker 8 (13:33):
Stephen Curry going to be a little nervous? Whoa in
about fifteen years.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
All with the three point totals?
Speaker 8 (13:43):
Yes, think just go back and look at Steph's first
two or three years in terms of owners made and
what con has done this year.
Speaker 6 (13:53):
Just look at their first years. I'm just saying, if
he stays, but here's the problem. You gotta stay healthy.
Longevity seventeen years, eighteen years for Stephen Curry, ken Kahn,
cannipp will do that over a long period of time.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
I want to see it. And CON's doing it. Charlotte, Charlotte.
Oh yeah, that might be a place too. You don't
want to go to Charlotte. That might be a place too.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Well, that last part was unnecessary, says the man who
played basketball Indiana.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Well, hold on, now, you can't do that. That's a
I mean, Pacers have had a much better run.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
I mean, what are you doing in Indiana? Okay?
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Are you saying that Indiana is a kind of a
boring place to live with not much going on?
Speaker 4 (14:41):
Is at your points? If so, I'll allow it. Okay,
I'll allow it compared to here? All right, I'll allow it.
I'll allow it. I got you.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
I would much rather live in Charlotte personally, got it. Man,
Every way you slice this, his numbers are incredible. I mean,
truly he is right now, and it's early yet, we
all understand it having arguably the best rookie season of
all time.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
We'll see if it sticks.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
But it is not an exaggeration to say that kN
k Nipple is off to a start. That would constitute
the best rookie season of all time so far this year. Also,
he has more points than Zach Levine, Desmond Baine Cooper Flag,
more rebounds than bam Adebio, than Draymond Green, than Amen Thompson.
He's got more threes made than James Harden, Lari Markinen,
(15:25):
Michael Porter Junior. He's got a higher three point percentage
than Steph Curry, than Tyrese Maxe, than Clay Thompson. I mean,
I could keep going here, and then on top of that,
the most three pointers made through the first seventeen games
of a career, It's not even close. He's hit sixty
three to three pointers in the first seventeen games of
his career. That's number one all time. The next closest
(15:48):
Jordan Hawkins, who yeah, it's the right response, Jordan Hawkins.
Armandi Brooks tied for forty seven. That's sixteen behind him.
Dame Lillard had forty three, Benedict mathrin to Luca Doncik
forty one, Laurie market In forty one. kN Nipple has
hit sixty three threes in his first seventeen games. So,
I mean, Reggie's doing what we all like to do.
(16:10):
In sports talk, radio, and that's extrapol eight. And you said,
wha man, all of Steph Curry fifteen years ago. We
got a long way to go, but the start that
he's off to is is absolutely historic in every conceivable way.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
What else you got? All Right?
Speaker 2 (16:24):
We end with feast week as it's college basketball's first
major weekend across the board, and right now is the
Player's Era Championship Tournament taking place in Las Vegas, and
Creighton took on Baylor two nights ago. It was a
tough loss for the Blue Jays, but there was one
call in particular that really stuck out in the voice
of the Blue Jays John Bishop As. There was a
(16:46):
blocking call that was called late when Crayton still had
a shot that shouldn't have been called, and it led
to one of the greatest rants in recent sports memory.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Car into the pain with the dunk blocking foul. What
are you talking about? That was two seconds after the
planned car driving. He's outside the circle.
Speaker 10 (17:10):
He's outside the circle and he's set. He was outside
the circle and he was set, Prett.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
Smith blew it.
Speaker 10 (17:19):
He was outside the restricted area.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
He was straight up and down.
Speaker 10 (17:23):
He was set like the statue sitting.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
Out in front of New York, New York.
Speaker 10 (17:27):
And they called that. That an absolutely horse crap call
in a game that's been played out like this, unbelievable
failout call, fighting confident referee.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
And Paul don't lie.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
That's what I was hoping you squeeze in there. They
missed the first free throw.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
And bal don't lie. Oh that was so great.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
I mean that was like Willie p but two octaves lower,
just angry going at the officials right with a Midwestern accent.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
I was so good. Hars crap.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
God, it was a bad call. It shouldn't have been
a charge, but it was not even close to being touched.
It should have been a no call.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
It was horrible.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
I mean that guy his head popped off his shoulders
on a rocket ship to the out to outer space.
And then you watch the video replay, like even Brian Anderson,
who had the call on True TV, uh, let's say,
had his own questions about the call. It wasn't nearly
that animated. But man, what a call by the Creighton
play by play guy. That's tremendous. That's what did you say?
(18:31):
The best audio in the world of sports seven oh
four five seven ninety six to ten. Hit us up
on the FanDuel text line as always, but today hit
us up for a donation to Street Turkeys, the twenty

you enough for all the donations, all the generosity. Already
today we are nearing thirty four thousand dollars. Last I
checked about ten minutes ago in monetary donations, we have
(22:25):
raised basically fourteen thousand dollars since this show began back
at three o'clock. That is incredible, and I know everybody
at this point is off definitely you've snuck out of
the office by now. You probably were home hours ago,
if not, if you even worked at all today, But
if you're out there, just understand that we are getting
close to the forty thousand dollars goal that this drive
tries to meet every single year.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
At least.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
I think that's where we should be every year, and
we have been on multiple occasions, and y'all are coming
through in a really big way. It's why I love
this community. It's why I love the city. I know,
with smoke, I'm preaching to the choir on that, but
you know I love living in Charlotte. I love the
people here, love the sense of community, and that's on
display every year here on Thanksgiving Eve, on Street Turkey's Day,
and it goes all the way back to pac Man
(23:07):
and the originators of this event twenty three years ago.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
We've kept it alive.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
You have really been the fuel and the engine that
have kept this thing going for nearly a quarter century.
And so we can't slow down. Now we're at thirty
four thousand dollars. I need six hundred people out there
listening to text in a ten dollars donation. Okay, I
need twelve hundred people to text in a five dollars donation.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
If we do that right now, we're done.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Now.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
I don't want to stop raising money, but we will have.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Met the goal. I'll stop badgering you and pestering you
as much. But one day of the year, our signature
giving event. This is where our focus is and should
be helping our friends and neighbors, helping Second Harvest, Food
Bank of Metro Lona, and helping Norish up to feed
people this holiday season. There are a lot of folks
down on their luck, people who have lost a job
unexpectedly around the holidays, lost a job at the end
(23:54):
of summer, and trying to find a new one, and
they just need a little help. You got people that
have run on a heart times, medical reasons, things like that,
that need a holiday meal now for Christmas, or just
general help, a hand up, as they like to say,
especially this time of year where you know stress can
be high and you're trying to find money for bills
and Christmas gifts and everything else, trying to put food
(24:16):
on the table for Thanksgiving, y'all can make a difference.
Even a five dollars donation, I promise you will make
a big difference. So text Street Turkeys all one word
to five zero one, five to five. That's street turkeys
all one word to five zero one, five to five.
Let's make a difference. Let's get to forty thousand dollars.
I promise you we can do this. And thank you
to all of our sponsors here for street Turkeys. Obviously
(24:39):
ram Pavement there with us every year, one of our
most cherished partners in what we do throughout the year.
But also one Cloud proud supporters and sponsors.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
Of street Turkeys.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
They've made a donation earlier today, late this morning, I
believe to tr Lawing proud supporters and sponsors also of
street Turkeys. They made a donation today sometime around lunch
and you can chip in too, So hit us up
seven oh four, hit us up to pardon me, tech
Street Turkeys to five zero one five five. I know
all these text numbers can be confusing. Tech Street Turkeys
to five zero one, five to five.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Now.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
The FanDuel text line is also open for business as always,
and failed Riz on the text line said, donation done.
WFNZ guys are the best in the business. Thank you
for being awesome and supporting our community. Now all I
want for Christmas is for you guys to do the
same for Bryce.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
Go Panthers.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
So he thanks us for supporting the community, and now
all he wants us to do is do the same
for Bryce. I have to ask you, in all honesty,
do you, I mean, have we been unsupportive of Bryce?
I don't think we've been unsupportive of Bryce. I don't
think anybody this show. Maybe once or twice on a
Monday following a bad performances.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Maybe the Saints game, But like we also, yeah, we're
not fully supporting him in terms of wanting to give
him a new contract, but we're also trying to be
as fair as possible with him.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
I yeah, yeah, I mean I don't think he's I
don't think that he is wanted for support for the
most part, I think a lot of people there are
people who haven't wanted to, but there are plenty of
people who have. So thank you for your donation, thank
you for your generosity. But I don't know that Bryce
really has lacked support on WFNZ. We can argue about that,
all right. Seven oh four five seven ninety six ten
(26:18):
Rivalry Weekend coming up in college football, Smoke what game
are you most looking forward to?
Speaker 4 (26:23):
What game are you most fired up for?
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Well, that's pretty tough because there's a lot of one
that I'm really excited for, But I feel like you
kind of have to be most excited for noon kickoff
on Fox between Ohio State and Michigan, just because you know,
we've kind of not really been paying attention to Ohio State.
It feels like they've kind of been on simulation mode
(26:46):
since the win against Texas because the Big Ten outside
of two or three schools have not really been good.
I mean outside of Oregon and Indiana, and I would
maybe argue Michigan because Michigan's been pretty good this year.
It's been a barren wasteland and it feels like jobbers
to the stars for all those schools, and it doesn't
feel like Ohio State's been tested since Week one. And
(27:07):
even then, I kind of feel like this Texas team is.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
Not as good as people make them out to be.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
It's just you know, their brand, they got a manning,
and they're in the SEC. So we're gonna give them
every single conceivable doubt, you know, to make sure that
they're still somewhat in the hunt. Even if they shouldn't be,
so I kind of want to see how this Ohio
State team gets tested. And plus the tables have turned
in that rivalry over the past half decade. It's now
Michigan that's been to Daddy for the longest time. It
(27:33):
was Ohio State as a kid. There's only been two
times I think in my watching period of college football
that Michigan had beaten Ohio State, and one of them
was with Bratty Hoak up until they started winning this
current win streak.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
So I think that one's up there.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
I think Georgia Tech and Georgia's up there because I
think we're gonna get a better Georgia Tech team this weekend.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
You do, yes, they got nothing to lose. I think
they're getting whooped, but go ahead. I mean, they got
nothing to lose.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
I think that I definitely want to see Texas A
and m Texas just so we can make sure that
the Longhorns are completely dead and make sure that the
you know, the committee doesn't get any opportunity to get
him in. So I think that's definitely up there, and
I'll say it, I'm interested in even though it's not
the game that's probably gonna be watched most across the
nation definitely won't. I'm interested to see what we get
(28:21):
in this Wake Duke game. Okay, all right, because I'm
as a Duke fan. I'm worried that Duke's gonna lose
this game because somehow someway Jake Dickard finds a way.
It doesn't matter what type of quarterback plays he's had
this year, most of it not really been good because
Robby Asterord. We all know why Robby Asher is that
Wake because he's not been a good quarterback. Yep, he's
been all right, but it just they grind out wins.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
I'm looking to see how Miami show.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
I mean, this is like it's not your classic rivalry
weekend matchup, okay, but like Miami at Pittsburgh obviously has
massive implications. Okay, Miami's favored by six and a half
on the road. I think Miami is the better team
and that they should win the game. But this also
feels like a spot where Mario Christobal has led us
(29:08):
down many and I say us that, you know, the
college football world expecting them to win. They've got everything
on the line, every reason to show up focused and prepared.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
But do they smoke. Do they against Pittsburgh on the
road at Akrasher Stadium. That's the thing too.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Up there, that's the thing too, because pittsmanh played like
we laughed and rightfully so criticized Pat and Ardozi for
saying Notre Dame is not a must win game.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
We're focused on winning the ACC.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
But then you look at what he did this past
weekend against Georgia Tech at Bobby Dodds Stadium, right, and
now you're going into that mess, you know, if you're Miami,
you know, and you look at miami schedule outside of
the win to get against Notre Dame, and ever since
they lost those two games, they've been playing a lot
of cupcakes. Syracuse, that's a cupcake. Yeah, you think about
(29:56):
I'm trying to think who they played last week? Oh sorry, thanks, yeah, sorry.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
Now we've moved on to Franklin Ar It's okay, we
moved on to frank Although you know, I shouldn't say
that because we are hyper focused in Blacksburg on beating
Virginia and spoiling their season.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
Tomorrow, which I well, I honestly do.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
I mean, history says yes, but I'm not going to
bank on it. I mean, it would be hilarious to
me if that happens. But no, I mean, I just
I wonder about Miami in that spot. Will they be prepared,
will they show up? Or after all of the handwringing
and even guys like me who sports hate the hell
out of Miami but have been willing to come to
their defense in this college football playoff you know, fiasco
(30:36):
as I see it, you know, to go ahead and
embarrass all of us by losing at Pittsburgh on Saturday
and thus making the whole thing a moot point and
a waste of time arguing on behalf of the hurricane.
So that's one I noticed. There's no no mention of
Clemson South Carolina bear.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
I know, I just I It's.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Just I don't think either Neither coach is getting.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
Fired, neither one.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Neither team's going to the playoff, neither team's playing for
a conference championship like it Really, this one's all about pride.
Both teams are limping in, Both fan bases think their
team sucks, and the other team is going to run
away with it. It's just not it's the polar opposite
of what we thought would be the case. Like we
thought that South Carolina might just be the epicenter of
the college football universe this year. Coming in Clemson was
(31:22):
a title contender, Kate club Nick was finally going to
emerge as a Heisman winner and a Heisman contender, and
you know, be the quarterback they always hoped he'd be.
Lenora Sellers was gonna take off, and Shane Biemer and company,
fresh off of narrowly missing the playoff, you know they'd
bounce back and this year they'd show the doubters. And
instead we have a wampwomp of a Palmetto Bowl that
(31:43):
almost nobody's excited about for any reason, not even their
own fan bases. So we got that going on there.
What else the other games that.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
We talked, Let's talk about the Bowl because there's gonna
be a lot of stuff going especially Mississippi State gets
off to an early lead, and I wouldn't be shocked
because Missisippi State's played a lot of teams tough, especially
when it's in Stark Vegas. You tell me he ain't
gonna play Ole Mess tough. And then Ole miss with
all the stuff that's been going on off the field
with their coaching with Lane Kiffin, you tell me this
(32:13):
ain't gonna be a close egg ball.
Speaker 4 (32:15):
That's a good point.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
I mean Vandy and Tennessee, as we talked about yesterday
with Ryan McGee, that's a ranked matchup for the first
time since what the nineteen thirties, I.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
Believe thank you said ever? They said, Oh he said ever,
that's right he did. That's right.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
Ever is the first ranked matchup between these two teams.
So there's some big ones. We haven't even gotten to
some of the biggest ones yet. But right now we
got to go to smoke on the headlines.
Speaker 4 (32:35):
Who is smoke? Where is smoke? Where there's smoke, there's fire.
Let's go all right smoking? What you got? All right, Kyle?
Speaker 2 (32:43):
Well, a couple of news and notes when it comes
to the coaching carousel and college football. On the surface,
just kind of sounded confusing, but it makes a little
bit more sense when you look deeper into it. Jim
Moore Junior has been a head coach at Yukon since
about twenty twenty two, done a really good job at Yukon.
In fact, Huskies almost have ten wins this season, But
now he's leaving the Huskies to go join Colorado State.
(33:06):
Apparently Colorado State has a lot of money in Colorado
Springs and they're also in a conference.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
You sent me that story when it broke, and I
thought that was a typo. Like I had to read that.
I had to read that headline like four times, Like
what do you mean Jim Mora Junior's leaving Yukon for
Colorado State? I mean no, I guess I was gonna
say no disrespect to Colorado State. With disrespect, that's what
I'm doing. Like why does he just want to live
in Colorado closer to home for him?
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Yeah, because remember he's a Washington guy, that's true, and
Colorado State, I think, has a lot of money and
during the conference, and you're never going to be the
main guy in a Yukon okay, because you're conveeting against
two basketball programs.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
Yeah, but like when you're when you're well paid, and
like Yukon does have a history of being pretty decent
in football. You're right if he's a West Coast guy,
that part makes some sense to.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
Because remember he was flirting with the Washington Huskies job
when he was the head coach.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
Of the Falcons. Just maybe quality of life too. Yeah, listen,
his dad was a successful NFL coach. I don't I
won't presume to know what his inheritance looks like, but
I doubt that Jim More Junior is hurting for money.
Maybe he just wants to live in the Mountain West
to get out of the congestion of the northeast.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
By the way, today's the anniversary of that rant. Oh wow,
really yeap twenty four years? But do you want to
get this utther one in. It's not been made official.
There's been a lot and then he hasn't signed a
deal yet, but a lot of people are talking about
USF coach Alex Golish likely being the next head coach
of the Arkansas Razorbacks. Really yes, so they're be a fan. Nothing, Yeah,
(34:37):
nothing has been made official. USF has said they have
not heard anything from Golish, and Golish has not released
a statement. Pete famil, none of them have been saying
that this is a done deal. But a lot of
smoke surrounding Alex Golish in Arkansas, So that means Kyle.
With Alex Golish being a former member of Soviet Russia
as a kid, the sec going Soviet Russia Communism coming
(35:00):
to the sec.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
Yeah, come on, by the way.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
Unsold ticket says Colorado's States and Fort Collins. I know that,
did you say Boulder?
Speaker 2 (35:10):
I got a confusal fair force, I said Colorado, pray
at Colorado's.
Speaker 4 (35:14):
I didn't catch that. I'm bad.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
That's all right, hey, to be fair, you've never been
to Colorado. I've never been west of the May Met
Mississippi River, and I've never been more for the Mason
Dixon Line.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
We'll have to change that at some point. All right,
we'll come back. We'll tell you who balled out. Roman
Harper scheduled to join us in fifteen minutes. It's the

He had a big offensive night twenty two points, six
of eleven from the field, five of seven from behind
the arc as the cow Golden Bears upset UCLA in
a non conference game.
Speaker 4 (37:17):
That does not sound right. Uh, that's it's weird. Yeah,
it's really weird.
Speaker 3 (37:23):
I am given the theme and the reason for the
season today, I'm going with the WFNZ listeners. Folks, we
are not there yet, but you are doing the damn
thing today. No sooner than AJ and Ellie handed me
the update that we were closing in on thirty five
thousand dollars. He just came back during the break. We're
at thirty eight thousand dollars. Y'all are doing the damn
(37:44):
thing out there. We are so close. We are so close. Okay,
I am twenty two hundred dollars away from hitting the
goal of forty thousand. We're not gonna stop there, all right.
We're not gonna stop there, because this is about helping people.
The more money we raise, it goes direct lead of
buying food. Okay, that's all we're doing here, collecting food
and buying food for our neighbors. Y'all are coming through. Man,
(38:07):
this is unbelievable. I'm about to get emotional here. The
way you've come together in the last hour and forty
five minutes has been truly amazing.
Speaker 4 (38:15):
I need you to get me over the hump. Okay.
We have just over two thousand dollars to go. You
know what that means, right?
Speaker 3 (38:21):
I need four hundred more people to make a five
dollar donation. I need two hundred people to make a
ten dollars donation. That's gonna get us there fifteen twenty
twenty five dollars Lake Norman Shannon shout out to her.
She just sent me a receipt one hundred three dollars
and twenty cent donation from her. I'm not quite sure
if there's some I think there's a fee on that.
(38:42):
I think maybe she just picked a random number. Maybe
I don't know, but that's incredible. Shannon, thank you so
much for that donation. We are just about two thousand
dollars shy of hitting our forty thousand dollars goal today.
Speaker 4 (38:53):
We may have to reset the goal of forty five.
Don't wait for.
Speaker 3 (38:56):
Somebody else to do this. I promise you it'll make
you feel better. It's not gonna take much at all.
Skip the extra beer at the bar tonight, or just
feel generous to make a five or ten dollars donation.
If a bunch of you do that right now, we're
gonna get to forty thousand dollars raise. And that's on
top of the tens of thousands of pounds of food
that have been donated here today at the WFNZ Doghouse
(39:16):
powered by Jack Daniels. I know you come here for
sports every day. I appreciate that we try to bring
the best we have to you each and every day.
But this show is unlike all the others we do
throughout the course of the year. This one is about
using the power of the WF and Z airwaves, of
ninety two point seven FM, of our stream, of our listenership,
our social media following, and using that and your generosity
(39:38):
and how much we know you love this city to
help your neighbors in need. Second Harvest, Food Bank of
Metrolina and Nourish Up will make I keep saying we'll
make a difference. I mean what they can do to
take these resources and put food in the bellies of
the people that you live with, next to that you
interact with every single day at work, at school, at
the gas station. We got folks out there, are hard
(40:00):
working folks that need help this time of year. So
if you can bring us a frozen turkey or three,
bring us a box of canned goods, boxed goods, or
simply if you can't make it here, make a monetary
donation by texting Street Turkeys all one word to five
zero one five five. That's five zero one five to five.
That's the phone number. I've had a few people text
(40:21):
to FanDuel text line and send me five zero one
five to five.
Speaker 4 (40:24):
Doesn't quite work like that.
Speaker 3 (40:26):
Think of the phone number that you are plugging in
to text someone right, instead of seven oh four dot
dot dot dot dot right the number that's where you
put in five zero one, five to five. And in
the body of that text message only type street turkeys,
no space between the words all one word, Just type
street turkeys. When you send that text, you should receive
(40:46):
a response with a link to a secure donation page
that will take your right to the page and will
allow you to donate whatever you're able to give. And
I promise you it doesn't have to be five hundred
dollars or two fifty or one hundred, five, ten twenty.
We'll get us there. It will make a massive difference.
It puts on display the power of the WF and
Z listener, the power of radio, quite frankly, and the
(41:08):
power of community. As I think we all know that
we live in one of the greatest cities in America.
So tech street Turkeys to five zero one five five
to make a donation.
Speaker 4 (41:17):
We'll come back.
Speaker 3 (41:18):
We are scheduled to talk to Roman Harper, two time
Pro Bowler, Super Bowl champion, SEC Network analyst.
Speaker 4 (41:24):
We hope he's still going to be on time and
with us today. We'll talk some college football.
Speaker 3 (41:27):
We'll get his thoughts on the panthers rough Monday night
loss to the forty nine ers, and a whole lot more.
