Episode Transcript
Allow me to reintroduce myself.
Speaker 2My name is pinwel.
Speaker 3Oh my god, even I think this is shameless and cruel.
It is time for Willy's world with the awesome Willpel logic.
Fiddy is trolling the P man something fierce.
Yes, Notre Dame did beat Willie's Miszoo Tigers, one of the six wins out of nine for the ACC and the acc SEC Challenge.
Six people love that one, moode.
Speaker 2How upset P Man are you with Fiddy right now?
Well?
Speaker 1I wonder if he'd be doing this if his team had not beaten Kentucky like like this, this is this is what?
This is this this his team beat Kentucky.
Can congratulations to them?
He would not be be crowing this bloud about a Missouri team, Uh, basically being subject to a rep show in the Joyst Center life.
Okay, by the way, speaking of refs, we are getting we we got a couple of great text bone that appointed to this.
Jeff de Bravestaying was one of them.
How tempted do you think the referees will be and the conference will be just to give Virginia every call on Saturday night so they get a team in the playoff.
Speaker 2I mean that's not gonna you mean, that's not gonna happen.
We could phrase it that way.
Speaker 1Hell Willy, I've already cooked up an entire acc scenario in my head that we'll see Saturday.
When they showed the replay center, great thing that they do, right, I love, and the guy says everyone good, everyone good in the call.
We all agree he's gonna say, all right, we're gonna screw Duke.
Here, everyone a great, We're screwing Duke.
Here you go that you're good.
Speaker 2You know good?
Speaker 1Here I saw one bowl projection bone that has provided that Virginia beats Duke Missouri Duke Duke's Mayo bowl.
Speaker 2Oh, there we go, And then we can make another bet.
Speaker 1We make our own Mayo Mayo bowl bet when someone gets the old Mayo on the head.
Here, here is the problem with that bet scenario.
I can't even go to the game because we're not going to be in town.
Whether we can still dump Mayo, we're not.
We're not doing it at the game with the coach.
I'm just saying, any any opportunity for me to see, you know, the university that I you know, pledged my my time with and all that I can't even see them when they're in my hometown.
Speaker 3We can't help you with that, but we could dump some money.
I thought you thought you didn't bet on your team.
Speaker 1Though I might make an exception for the nukes.
We that I have to know if a certain I have to know if a certain running back is playing.
Though a certain we just made a bet for a game that's not even scheduled.
Speaker 3It's not even scheduled yet, all right, p man, Hey, let's are first with the big soccer news for this city.
Yesterday, I no you tweeted it out and I retweeted it.
Awesome news.
This US men's national team friendly, the next to last friendly before the World Cup, will be played here in Charlotte.
This is a major deal of timing of this makes this freaking mammoth.
Speaker 1It's incredible because while Charlotte and the state of North Carolina have hosted the national team for friendlies before, I think this is the first time they've gotten a sendoff friendly of this nature.
And so it's going to be the full national team and it actually is going to be the first game because Mauricio Pochattinos sometimes with these sendoff friendlies they'll bring a larger roster, but Puccino said, I'm naming my roster before these last two games.
Speaker 2He's not changing it.
Speaker 1They might, obviously, you know, if there's an injury or something along those lines.
Have some guys kind of waiting off in the Reds.
But the team that he is bringing to Charlotte will be the team that plays in the World Cup, and it's an incredible opportunity.
We still don't't want opponent yet.
They're waiting for the World Cup draw, which happens Friday at the Kennedy Center in DC.
They don't want to end up playing somebody who they're in a group with, so they have to kind of wait to see how that machination plays out.
They're already playing I think Germany, Portugal, and Belgium as part of their run up to the World Cup next year too, So those Belgium and Portugal are in March in Atlanta, and then the Germany game is in Chicago.
Speaker 2Again.
Speaker 1Part of the reason that they knew about those is that those guys are in the same pot as the United States, so there's no way they can play them.
So they're trying to see if there's another squad out there outside of their group that they wouldn't necessarily play.
Speaker 2But it's a great opportunity.
Speaker 1It's gonna be a full building, and it has the potential to be one of the most highly attended soccer games we've seen in Bank America Stadium's history.
Willie mac gave us the Nerd Numbees earlier on the Panthers percentage playoff chances back was it eighteen and.
Speaker 2Eighteen, twenty one and twenty two?
Speaker 3Were the numbers from all these different stat Geek plays.
Speaker 1Does those numbers?
Do they make sense to you or would you go higher than that?
Well, it tells me that they don't think very highly of the Panthers' chances against the Buccaneers.
Speaker 2This is what that tells me.
Speaker 1And again, I think this obviously is all subject to change.
I think it can still go in the panthers favor if they have a favorable two weeks against the Saints and the Bucks.
And again, I know we're not counting the Saints as a win yet because of what happened to the Panthers in that first game, But this is kind of where people are looking at them and saying, hey, they've been a little schizophrenic.
They've had great victories against high quality teams, and they've had some head scratches.
And the other part of this too is that I think coming off of buy and playing this team I think will help them.
And I think i'd either have them playing the Saints, you know, knowing that that first game was so unsettling, I'd rather almost have that than like have an early buy or things of that nature.
I think I think this is this is I think a very very Tailorman situation.
It's very very easy to motivate them.
I think having the late bye two also is like it's like if you had a buy, say in you know, early October or whatever, guys are going to can Coon, They're going, you know elsewhere.
Speaker 2You have a late bye.
You got ice packs on your knees.
Speaker 1You're not doing anything so and I think you're probably watching a lot of film and looking at your playbook, and also you're seeing about the fact that you lost to the Saints.
So I think that this works out well for the Panthers.
There's only four games left.
You said you you put all of it into the Saints, and then you've got a chance in your building to take the Divisional lead against Tampa Bay in two weeks.
Speaker 3P Man, what do you think about the Canalist Coach of the Year campaign?
I believe Connor or of s I officially got it going the other day when he brought up sorry to guys like Benjajohnson and Vrabel and all the great candidates out there, but he thinks Dave Kanal should be coach of the year.
Do you think he has a chance.
Do you think he should be mentioned among the top few coaching jobs this year?
Speaker 2What do you think?
Speaker 1Well, well, just don't send the film of the first halves of two minute drills to the NFL when we're trying to, you know, talk about his candidacy.
Speaker 2You hate those the defensive two minute drill.
Speaker 3But it worked out though Pete didn't it they do the least they didn't least La get the ball at the end of the half.
The least threatening, most non urgent two minute drill in the history of the National Football League has happened twice for the Panthers.
Speaker 1Uh this game of the Dallas game.
I mean, I like that he's getting some recognition.
I think if if the Bears win the NFC, then then obviously I think that it's a it's a fad of complete for Ben Johnson just because of the way that is.
Again, I know there's a lot of football to be played when it comes to you know, there could be a lot of moving and shaking between those numbers.
I know that, you know, maybe a little bit of the sheen is off of Shane Steichen after the way that that Indianapolis has kind of fallen off a little bit.
Vrabel obviously will get a lot of attention based on what happened with New England, and you know, a lot of that obviously is credit to Drake May, but at the same point in time, it's it's I think Vrabel is gonna get a lot of kudos for that.
So I think I think if you have guys who are first year head coaches at the top of their conferences, they're going to get obviously more of the top billing.
But if we're talking about a comeback scenario for a guy who was there, you know, Canallas, definitely at least we'll get some votes, and I think it'll be a good thing for him.
I think a lot of it also just depends on how they finish, because while they didn't necessarily show out themselves on their spotlight game on Monday Night Football.
They definitely made the most of the spotlight over the weekend beating the Rams team.
Speaker 2I think I think they got more.
Speaker 1They got more credit in that game than I think discredit from playing them the night and looking the way that they did against the forty nine ers.
I think also a big, big part of this could be if that uh first Tampa game gets flexed.
That's another big situation too as well.
Speaking of Tampa, some notable NFC South news this morning from Ian Rappaport NFL Network.
Mike Evans is back quicker than expected.
He will practice today from the broken clavicle.
So Mike Evans.
Mike Evans is back against the Panthers.
McMillan, who had the neck right early on, he's back and Evans is back today also so healthier.
Speaker 2Yep, that's lovely.
Speaker 3Speaking of one of these guys, I wanted Mike Evans to just rest for the holidays.
Speaker 1I thought it might go up against like the very end of the season, and he's back like a month earlier.
Speaker 2Willy.
Speaker 1A guy you know and love very much is UH listener Steven Whittaker, who now leads all listeners and begging for free tickets.
But that's not the point here.
Speaker 2Uh.
Speaker 1He wants to know what did you think of his dance in the doghouse window the other day?
And who do you think is a bet dancer?
Mac or Stephen Whittaker.
This is the seventeenth time I've gotten this question in the last three days from Steph Whittaker.
And I know that guy shocks all of you.
His dance was definitely gyration filled.
I would say, you know, it was in the after glow of the victory, so I think there was a lot of emotion that was tied to it.
I still would give Mac the edge on the edge.
Speaker 2Take that way.
Speaker 1But I do think that Whittaker needs to be in the rotation at some point.
Speaker 2What rotation victory dictation.
Speaker 1Of your of your victory dance.
Speaker 3We've rotated him right back out of it, yeah, but we did rotate him out out here.
Speaker 2Why are you not in the victory dance?
Willie?
Speaker 3You were?
Speaker 2People are still talking about your appearance.
Guys.
Speaker 1You guys, you guys do it at a time when I am unavailable.
If you would do it at a different time of the day or or if I, if you would let me come in early, we do it during the break, I would do it.
Speaker 2It's just I'm not available at the time that you do it.
Speaker 1Are you doing I've told you, guys, I have a I go and work out with a trainer on Monday mornings at ten am.
Speaker 2Really, yes, watch self, vitie?
Speaker 1Yes?
I do you want to do?
You want to see the balance sheet?
How about it, you hug, you bring the trainer in here.
This coounts doesn't work out.
You did the famous hot potato dance.
We need to see it again.
If you if you guys, if they win a football game and you guys will do it during a break during the Monday morning show, I will do it all right, next win, We're going to do it during a break during the Charles Sports Today we're.
Speaker 2Taking I can't.
I can't do it during that time of day.
Speaker 3I bet if they asked you to host Charlotte Sports Today on a Monday, I bet you'd be able to.
Speaker 2I bet you called it that trainer and cancel.
Speaker 1I've actually, I've actually I've actually had to say no because of that.
Okay, we need to see the rigorous way he's into this.
I can't encouraging.
I cannot cancel within twenty four hours.
Notice, what's this trainer's name?
Is this a real trainer?
He's a real trainer.
I'm not going to give you his name on the air.
Speaker 2What gym do you go to?
Golds Gym?
All right, I'm making phone calls, phone calls.
Speaker 3This dude says, is Fitty really making fun of someone else working out?
This dude says, the only trainer Fitty knows is named Meghan Trainer.
Speaker 2And and he.
Speaker 1Also was trying to get on me for not posting about food.
I'm retired from posting food on on Twitter.
Guys, that's your best thing, because I just don't.
I don't feel like I want people thieving my joy.
And I don't want to hear from a guy who literally does not know how to cook a pop tart to tell me how I think you should be cooking my turkey.
Speaker 3Oh who's that Fitty be?
That'd be the loud mouth in the back.
Oh wasn't me, It was Mac.
I told him when I called him on Sunday for Panther pre game.
Speaker 4I said, the streets were wondering where the annual Willie Pass.
Speaker 2You the streets is you.
Let's be real.
Speaker 3I like your food photos, and I don't think you should listen to any of these people.
I mean, these people that bring up dry brisket, whoever they are, man, you know what I mean?
Whoever those jerks are, don't worry about it is something that is.
Speaker 2It has thieved my joy and I'm not doing it.
Speaker 3I'm not dealing with man that sucks.
Like what we've done to Willie, I feel kind of bad.
Now are you bringing me pumpkin pie?
Speaker 2Willi?
You promised me a piece.
I think we actually late the last piece.
Speaker 3Well, that ain't gona help relations with Fiddy or the trainer, but the trainer.
Speaker 1Go that stuff gets burned out in the WARLD Willy, Is this true?
Your trainer has texted the radio show and said he can always adjust times if you want to dance.
No, that's he's probably he's actually about to work out with my wife right now, so he's probably not texting the show.
Speaker 2Okay, y'all share a trainer?
Speaker 3There you go, You have comment on your comment about that?
Speaker 2What else do y'all share?
Speaker 3Oh?
Speaker 2My god, what on earth is coming on here?
What are you insiders?
There is coming on here say how many?
Say?
Speaker 1How many passwords do you?
And flound dizzey share.
I'm looking at some of these texts playing each other on their taxes at this point.
What everybody's going after Willie's workout?
Red says where the muscles?
Speaker 2Willie?
I don't see it.
By the way, that's our caller right right there.
Speaker 3That says, I, I don't see any muscles?
Is is tom Brady's Is this Tom Brady's ex wife's trainer?
Someone wants to know here, Let's see what else we have.
This dude says I have five hundred dollars.
It says neither Willy nor Fitty have worked out since since COVID hit or before.
Speaker 1Excuse me, I'd like I'd like you to make that five hundred dollars check out to the Second Harvest Food Back Metrolina, because that is patently fun, all right, right right right there, it's around five hundred.
Speaker 3Actually, would you see the dude that says Willy's working out his Lake Pressel top seventy pounds this week?
That's cold man that I'm not here for this stuff, Pete.
I'm just reading them, but I'm not here for this man, all right, I want you to know that you guys have you guys have thoroughly wasted my time.
Who's your as opposed to most most Wednesdays, who's your swine?
Speaker 2Why is it fitting?
It's Adam feeling is what it is.
Speaker 1And we heard from his wife apparently this morning, who tried to be like, yeah, we really wanted to have you know, Adam, you know, have a go off into the sunset.
Speaker 2And he just wants to compete.
Speaker 1He's coming off really whiny in this whole situation, and people, you know, forget that.
He was also like a little bit mouthy during the twenty twenty four season as well, demanding a trade him and Deontay Johnson at the same point in time, like is this really the great team locker room guy that Zach Latrelle and all these people who wanted him back wanted to beat.
He gets to go now to play in Pittsburgh.
Go enjoy Aaron Rodgers and conspiracy theories and the noodle law and all the stuff about Pittsburgh, the fries on the sandwiches, et cetera, and so on.
Speaker 2Have that for four weeks.
Speaker 1Good luck, God bless and I never want to hear about Adam Dielon in the Panthers.
Speaker 2Ever again, there.
Speaker 3You go is a p man bringing a baby.
He's bringing it all right, Pee, we will talk to you man.
Be good, Pete.
This was thoroughly unenjoyable.
All right, that's the way we like it.
Man wants you having a good time on this show.
Fitty, you made him Man all the Texters.
I can't believe the way y'all act Willie Manes.
Speaker 1When we come back, I guess we're gonna treat much better than Willie.
Taylor Davis of the Believe SEC podcast and ESPN as well joins us and talk all Things SEC and her reaction to the college football playoff rankings last night and what's next Sports Radio.
Speaker 2Z oh Man.
Speaker 3Another day, another show where Fitty probably went too far on the air.
All right, that's what we call this Wednesday.
It's a day that ends and why on the Mac and Bone Show.
That is why I believe with our next guest, Fitty, I believe we just gonna have you over there pressing the buttons and making sure everything sounds good.
Speaker 2I think we go keep you to that role for the next producer.
Speaker 3If you want to hear Fitty and give maybe too much crap to Willie.
Check it out among all the podcasts of each hour on the show, like we do every days.
It's twenty twenty five, y'all.
You don't have to listen to the show live.
You can listen to us at your leisure in podcast form, Apple, Spotify, wfinz, dot com, wherever you get your podcasts.
Our next guest, you can check out her podcast wherever you get your podcasts as well.
You can see her on the sidelines of big college football games every week.
She is from ESPN and one of the hosts, along with her Auburn alum Jason Campbell, the one of the hosts of the SEC State of Mind podcast about all Things SEC.
She is Taylor Davis, and she joins us here on the Mac and Bone Show.
Speaker 2Taylor, what's going on?
How you doing?
Speaker 5What's up, y'all?
I'm doing well.
Thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 3I want to say this, I feel a bond with you already because I listened to the Thanksgiving Hot Takes portion of your last podcast.
You you are a fellow Cranberry sauce hater, and I got shamed by these boys for hating on Cranberry sauce and I heard you bring that up, and I said, finally someone views that disgusting nastiness the same way I do.
Speaker 5I'm very anti Granberry sauce.
And You're right, this is a controversial topic.
So I'm really glad we're starting with the tough stuff.
Speaker 1You got an Ally and me.
I don't know about everybody else listening, Taylor.
I was wondering what audio he was playing during the breaking.
I heard your voice and I'm oh, must be something he's trying to figure out about college for research.
He fifth popped and said, she's on my side about Cranberry's hot.
Speaker 2It's odd I can't my whole family at home.
Speaker 3I mean, nobody agrees on this, but we've found we've we've got a bond your graduation, We've got a bond over this.
What did you think, Taylor about the let's start with this Alabama question.
Do you feel like an Alabama jumps Notre Dame yesterday?
And that's kind of an oddity in itself, but I guess on that two part, what do you think about Alabama jumping Notre Dame?
And secondly, do you think there's any scenario where Alabama loses the SEC title game to Georgia and gets bounced out of a playoff position.
Speaker 5It's a great question, and it's one that the committee is dreading having to answer.
They do not want that scenario to happen.
They are hoping this championship makes the decision for them because they do not want to set the president.
That has been a debate since the playoffs expanded, will you penalize a team for playing an extra game?
And I think them jumping Notre Dame was a bit of a surprise, especially considering while they won the Iron Bowl, it was an indominant fashion and obviously Auburn is unfortunately only a five win team, and so how that was weighted was a bit different.
But I struggle with Notre Dame.
I struggle with their level of competition and really how tested they have done other than the Texas A and M game earlier in the season.
So that one is kind of an anomaly for me and will continue to be, especially without them being in a conference themselves.
But the Alabama situation is going to have to play itself out.
They are truly going to have to take care of themselves because I believe if they lose a close game to Georgia.
I think the Committee will keep them in because of that truth that they want conference championships to still be desired, They still want them to matter, and we don't want to see them go away.
And I do know that the SEC title is a mass These are very storied programs, and this in particular, I think you've seen across the board how freaking tough the SEC is, so winning that title is incredibly impressive.
But they also know that if they lose very convincingly, if Georgia beats the crap out of Alabama, the Committee can't put them in.
So I don't think it's just losing.
I think it's the way they would have to lose for the Committee to do something as bold as leaves the tide out.
Speaker 2Yeah yeah, Taylor.
Speaker 1Of that SEC grouping of Ole, miss A, and M, the Bama team that we're talking about Oklahoma, assum Mingbama does get in here.
Who who do you think of those four may be poised for the deepest run in the college football playoffs.
Speaker 5It's a great question.
I really don't want to fully give up hope on Texas, A and M.
I hate that they lost to Texas and It's one of those where you're like, guys, it was yours, Like, how did we end up yet again with an Alabama Georgia SEC championsa the third time in the last five years.
You know what I mean As an Auburn fan.
It just continues to be brutal.
However, sometimes a loss is the very thing that gut checks you and makes you your best.
That is the case in college football.
I've seen it far too many times.
Heck, it's the case in life.
Sometimes you just need that gut check.
And one thing I know about Mike Elko is he will utilize this to get them back into the mental fortitude that you need to make a run.
So this happening to A and M right there at the end of the regular season, showcasing them, Hey, you're not freaking invincible.
There is more progress for us to make, even though you had a great season prior to that.
And if you're gunna need to tap into that, it's guttering that we do it now when we've got another game to go play.
So I still believe in Texas A and M because I think that they're strong across the board.
You look at that defensive line, you guys, it's they're not humans.
They are massive, fast, Like Mike Elko recruited the exact type of defensive line that you need to make a run and get after some of these quarterbacks.
Then you look at the offensive side of the ball.
Mario Kraber and Casey conceptcy On two of the best transfer portal gets in the nation, and they've had such an electric connection with quarterback Marcel Reid.
So if they can continue what I saw from them up until that game in Austin, I believe A and M can really make a run.
And maybe we're going to point in a few weeks and say that loss to Texas was actually a great thing to happen to them.
Speaker 2Did some good did so?
Speaker 3Yeah?
Speaker 2I could see that.
Speaker 3I think a lot of us me included, or maybe you know, maybe putting them to the side after the close call against South Carolina and the loss to Texas.
Speaker 2So it's good to bring them up.
Speaker 3Taylor Davis is with us ESPN and the sec State of Mind podcast.
Check that out wherever you get your podcast.
So, Taylor, I must ask, what did you think of all of the Lane Kiffin to LSU stuff?
Did you I was just looking at your Twitter page.
I could tell you were amused by all the dramatics of it, but like, did you feel like Lane deserved all the heat he got?
Like, how did you feel about that whole mess?
Speaker 5Yeah?
Speaker 1You know.
Speaker 5I think for me, you have to separate two things in this.
I think that you separate the results, which is Lanton Tiffin being the head coach at LSU and the way in which it transpired.
I love one, I hate the other.
I love the partnership of LSU and LSU and Lane Kiffin.
I think it's going to make I think he's going to be successful in Baton Rouge.
LSU knew what they wanted.
It is championships or bust right now for LSU, and they fired Brian Kelly in dramatic fashion.
They are willing to pay every dollar that Chicken Tenders can make in America to get him out of there and bring in Lane Kiffen.
That was the plan from the jump, and they did it, and I think it's the right fit.
I think he's going to be successful and it's going to accomplish what they set out to do in flashy, dramatic fashion.
The way that this happened, I would grat it enough I hate how messy this was.
I hate how much Lane kind of foid with things and played around and got it to the eleven hour and now Pete Golding, while incredibly you know capable, you're now preparing for playoff games, and this in game process has never been executed like we could have done this a couple of weeks ago and allowed for more of a transition phase before you get into single elimination ball.
So I really don't like the dramatics of it.
I mean, I feel like I should charge him for the inventory he has had on my show, against my desire, the amount of time we've all spent talking about this and debating this, and how unfortunate that that has been the headline when Ole Miss is having one of their best seasons in history, like Trinidad Chambliss, that story is one of the best stories in college football, and it got hijacked the second half of season by your head coach potentially leaving you for another woman.
Like, it's just messy, and it's it's unfortunately very on brand for Lane Tiffin and I have said the past couple of days, like, what bad timing for a documentary to come out about your character?
Art and how much gross there's been and how impactful Oxford has been in your development.
Only for two months later you to leave the place burning with your deuce is in the air like it does.
The irony of all of it, and the dramatics and the complication I think could have been handled better with that said, ninety million dollars your pick of everything at a culture and a place like LSU, even through emotion, everyone can look at that and go, well, I probably would have done it too.
I just like to think that it could have been executed in a cleaner way and one that didn't distract from what old miss has been able to accomplish it.
Speaker 1Oh and then, by the way, we find out that Juice Kiffin might not even be his dog the whole time.
Speaker 5Oh my gosh, the most heartbreaking element of this entire thing.
Speaker 1Now, I have a question.
You mentioned time spent kiffing.
You mentioned time spent on your show about Kiffin.
I have a question about a man that spent a lot of time tracking down Kiffin over the weekend, your colleague Marty Smith, our friend here at Charlott from ESPN.
Was there any thought with the fellow reporters that someone needs to maybe do a wellness check or have him go home for or go take a nap for a litt bit or something.
Speaker 5Seriously, I wanted to be like Marty, blink twice if you're okay, my guy, Like it was seriously hilarious all of the memes and you know him aging twenty five years.
I don't know if you guys have seen he told the story on the Pat Maxi Show about the van that he had to drive and he had to off road, Like I wish that a GoPro had been attached to Marty Smith for that entire endeavor because that was true investigative journalism.
But yeah, I was like, should we all like send him DoorDash or something like is he okay?
Speaker 2That was amazing?
That was amazing.
Speaker 3A van that he says resembled a loaf of bread he had to take off road around the barrier well lane.
Given watched the whole thing, laughing, by the way, laughing at the whole thing.
Speaker 2Oh God, I'm telling you college football.
Speaker 3I don't to tell you being someone who grew up in the South went to Auburn, Like I saw, I'm looking at your tweet right now where you said on Sunday during all the craziness, isn't it wild?
There are people out there just living a totally normal Sunday with no idea the absolute anarchy.
US college football fans are being held captive too, so I know you live for That's the thing.
There's something about like we're laughing at all this, Like the I saw you retweet the picture of lanes like suits, blazers like sitting out, like they just literally rolled the rack of close out and said, there, go ahead and take this.
I got treated that way once, Like college football is such a mess, but it's such an entertaining mess at the same time.
Speaker 5It's widest perfection, you guys.
I mean, I have lived in town.
You know, even when I lived in Charlotte, it wasn't as much a college football town.
It was.
It was very heavy in NFL, and I was like, you guys are missing out.
I'm gonna tell you.
I mean, even you know my friends that are like I'm not really into sports, I'm like, but you like reality Tea, you like Bravo, You'll like college football.
There is drama, there is madness.
I mean, seeing the photo of his rack of clothes out on the curb, like he seriously had an affair and his marriage was It is just peak comedy and now there's there's no shortage of drama in the aftermath of some of this.
And I mean, you guys that matchup in Oxford next year.
I mean the mustard bottles and golf balls in the city of Oxford are gonna have to be locked up because I mean, I don't know what all they'll be throwing at him, but it is just it is no shortage of entertainment, and I am I'm here for all of it.
Speaker 1I watched I watch a lot of Real Housewives and below Deck.
I have to get away from the football drama for the drama that is last on not show.
Speaker 5Sander Pump Rules is my break from college football.
Speaker 2Yeah, there you go.
All right, Well, hey Taylor, we had a blast.
Speaker 5Yeah.
Speaker 3I was got to ask about you move leaving us in Charlotte.
