Speaker 1 (00:07):
Allow me to reintroduce myself. My name is I'm Wilpe Logic.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
Horse Radio ninety seven WFNZ. We got some juicy audio
from the college Football world.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
Dabo said something.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
An LSU reporter ran to Brian Kelly and his pressor.
I said to hear what Dabas said. Brian Kelly, fire
back Mike Norvel's got fitty angry with a comment. And
we've got former Patriots players commenting on Bill Belichick and
his debut.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
So we got that's coming up in nine twenty five.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Right now. You heard P Man's music. It's P Man's world.
We're just living in a baby. We got the Panthers opener.
We got Red Hot FC. We got a ridiculous fine
for eadon my manork My in the day by the
MLS got Woogie Suarez. Yeah, not people with no fine
with no fine apparently yet. So anyway, we got stuff
to talk about with the P Man. Willie Pe is here,

(01:11):
uh and I expect passion as always from the P
Man today.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
What's up, Pee? How you feeling?

Speaker 3 (01:16):
I don't know what I like more told Lamonti or
Lugi Suarez.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
I like both.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Feel free to use those babies your broadcast. That's a
good combo. So P Man, what are you doing? Are
you beaching it? I mean, this is another thing we
need to point out for all the for all the
hell we get P Man. I would not blame the
man if he said, I'm on vacation. I'll talk to
you losers next week. But P Man is here. What's
what are y'all doing this week? On your vacation week?

Speaker 4 (01:41):
We're in rightsful, just just chilling.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
Uh did a little beach resort here on the coast
and not doing much of really anything. We're getting a
little breakfast right now and downtown Wilmington and then headed
back for one h one or two more beach days.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
Very nice, the cuisine, ben it's good. It's all right.

Speaker 4 (02:01):
I mean I would I wouldn't go so far as
to say it's like, you know, it's not.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
Italy, but it's all right.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
That's the debate we have. We'll be did versus Italy.

Speaker 4 (02:11):
Well, we're actually at it. We're actually a triple D
recommended place right now.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
So for breakfast, Oh there you go, there you go.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
All right, So let's start before we get to your
thoughts on the fine let's start with just the way
FC is playing. What a freaking goal, What a way
to win late and man, I'm telling you to Calamani
can get up in the air man on these headers.
That was beautiful and then Pep right, we could get

(02:40):
Pep back after the off week in the Miami match,
and then I feel like we could kick it into gear.
I mean, what a time for Charlotte FCP man right now,
fans need to be geeked about this.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
Well, the two people you mentioned are two things that
we've honestly been waiting for for four years as Charlotte observers,
fans and people who know and watch the team. It's
a creative midfielder and somebody who could be a cheat
code on set pieces. And I think that somebody who
you know in Tokamadi or he's not just somebody who

(03:14):
is just a tall guy who can be good on
set pieces. He is incredibly dynamic in a variety of ways.
I think he does a lot more thankless running than
any striker we've ever had, and a lot of that
times you know, will dare out things down the road.
But also when you get pet Biel back, you get
a true talisman, and I think that's something that really
is a big, big part of what cherld of Ce

(03:36):
is missing creatively. Yet they've been able to win without him.
And the goal they scored to win the game on
Saturday is their seven set piece goal. They've never had
more than seven set piece goals in a single season
going all the way back to their first year, and
quite frankly, I had to go back and look at
this because it didn't look like.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
They had scored that many.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
I know, the first goal ever was scored on a
set piece, and they had the Jordiel cievar Olimpico that year,
But at the same point in time, it's been few
and far between, and yet they've found a little something
here with Westwood and Tokamati combining.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
And I love and Toklamani. It's not like he's a giant.
He just he has ups. Man, it's beautiful, it's beautiful.

Speaker 5 (04:13):
What's your reaction to the Tokomane Toklamani torque fine considering
the fact that MLS was promoting that on their feeds
after it happened.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
The the fine does not surprise me because I've seen
fines for even more ridiculous things. I mean, they find
you if you take too long getting off the pitch
during a red card or a substitution. So it's that
part is not necessarily surprising to me. It's the juxtaposing
that with still absolutely positively not even a peep from

(04:43):
MLS after the fracas and really just a travesty that
took place at the end of the League's Cup final
between Seattle and Miami, like like that's if if this
is more your priority having jurisdiction over a celebration from
a player who scored a game winning goal in the
eighty seventh minute, like that, to me again is part

(05:05):
of the reason why it seems like MLS has lost
the plot when it comes to this Miami team, Like,
I'm sorry, there's just that, there's there's no reason to
me why we have to wait three days and pour through,
you know, copious amounts of video to determine. Hey, Luis
Suarez spit on a man, which is like the lowest

(05:26):
form of degrading behavior outside of you know, putting your
hands on somebody or drawing weapon on somebody like that.
That's I don't understand. He shouldn't play the whole rest
of the year. He shouldn't. He shouldn't play the whole
rest of the year.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Yeah, it's discussed, and there needs to be a damn suspension.
There needs to be They need to stand up and
say something about it. And instead they're worried about dude
popping them glutes when when he had a moment of
excitement extended and winning straight to eight, you know, in
the final minutes, for God's sakes, God the Bills freaking
excited once to have no fun celebrate old.

Speaker 5 (05:58):
Man on Seattle staff almost got Don.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
Zimmered there by Luis. I mean, Suare has already been
a man on the pitch. Now he's spitting me.

Speaker 3 (06:06):
Who skets through a punch at somebody? And and and
and Suarez that I had somebody else in the headlock.
I mean, it's just kind of like, and I don't
know if you saw the video of the fans afterwards,
like this this team, I understand. And and Don Garber
has said this in the past about other teams like
LA Galaxy, for example, when they had Beckham and things
of that nature. I know, Darn Garber likes creating a
villain because it creates intrigue. Not like this, Not like this, this,

(06:30):
This is not good for the league.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
It's not so p man. We're rolling into uh week
one for the Panthers. It's finally time to get down
to business, start talking about an actual matchup that will matter.
Bone and I a little more nervous, I think than
we were when camp started about the Jacksonville matchup, just
because of the wide receiver situation. Right, you traded theling

(06:55):
and Coker's out. We don't know about Ikey and then
I start getting his word, Hey, Yosh Night, it might
be the guy that's left tackle. How do you feel
about this matchup now the game week is here.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
I mean, I think there's always going to be that
trepidation when you've kind of overhauled a part of the team,
and I'm part of that.

Speaker 4 (07:13):
I'm talking about the defense.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
I know that the offense has largely the same pieces involved,
although losing feeling is a big, big part of why
I think, you know, there might be some maybe additional
trepidation then they might have been at the beginning. But
the thing that I keep coming back to is that, look,
I understand that folks are somewhat nervous about the way
the preseason games went, but I think we have to

(07:36):
go back to the way Bryce looked at the end
of last year, and and we saw a lot of
that during camp. We saw a lot of that during
the joint practices. And if that's the Bryce we see
show up on Sunday against Jacksonville, then I like the
Panthers chances. It all comes down to whether or not
the defense can stop Trevor Lawrence, if they can stop
the run, and also whether or not, you know, we

(07:57):
see the Trevor Lawrence that we've come to be used
to over the course years, which quite frankly is not
very good. And so from that perspective, I give the
Panthers better than an even chance on Sunday because I
think that they're I think buying large a better team
in Jacksonville.

Speaker 5 (08:12):
Willie, what's your assessment of what we saw UNC's performance
in the Belichick debut the other night. Are you on
the side of this could be a real big disaster
or are you in let's hold off. He may take time,
but he'll get it figured out. What camp are you in?

Speaker 3 (08:28):
Well? I don't think that people who were expecting it
to get to be totally right right off the bat
give enough credit to other coaches who have done things
in the college football world. I think it was always
going to be a very very tough opener. I think
that's the part of it that people maybe didn't give
TCU enough credit. You know, this is a team that
has been in the College Football Playoff recent lease. Bunny

(08:50):
Dykes is a very very good coach, and quite frankly,
this is in all essence, are rebuild when it comes
to the world of college football. And Bill Belichick now
he's turned on the roster, got sixty seventy different guys
in there, and they were very active in the portal
and they were very, very good at recruiting. But I
think this is going to be an adjustment period. I
don't think disaster is a fair characterization of it. But

(09:12):
I think again, the way this season goes, I think
seven eight nine wins, that's a good achievement for Bill
Belichick in UNC. I don't think it's gonna be a
situation where they're going to miss a bowl like I
don't think it's gonna.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
Be that bad.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
But I think expecting Bill Belichick to be in the
College Football Playoff right off the bat, I think you
were maybe reaching a little bit too high in your
expectation level because again, I think they have to recruit
a different level of player. I think there's also kind
of a proven aspect too from players who want to
play at UNC, because while Bill Belichick can bring all
the bonaflies in the world to the table from what

(09:49):
he had in the NFL, I think there's kind of
a wait and see approach from a lot of the
blue chip type players who can really change a program.
And I think they just don't have enough of those
yet to be a able to sit there and say, hey,
we can be a major contender amongst teams that, quite frankly,
are already better built than.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
His p Man, we got big news today on the show.
Fitty Usually if he like sends one text gets one
text message from a lady, he will tell us all
about it and he will want a segment of radio
about it. But Fitty went on down low and didn't
tell us anything about the about it until this morning.

(10:28):
At the end of a segment that he has a
date tonight, he man, what do you think about this?
Do you have any advice too for the fit Dog?
You have any advice? Where you guys, where you guys going.

Speaker 6 (10:42):
We're going to eat Mexican, which twice. I haven't decided yet.
You want listeners to show up? Oh no, I would
never do such a thing.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
Can we get?

Speaker 3 (10:50):
Is this your favorite Mexican place that you always talk about?

Speaker 4 (10:53):
It is like your first date staple.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
Basically, yes, it's the same place you took the date.

Speaker 6 (10:58):
Yet last year that's where more than likely end up.

Speaker 3 (11:03):
Have you maybe thought about, I don't know, changing it up?
You know, like the definition of insanity is doing the
same thing over and over again. Maybe just maybe Mexican
is not your's.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
Have you been with Flounder to this place? I have not? Actually? Okay, good,
don't you got that in your place? Sirloin?

Speaker 2 (11:22):
Show up again and do that routine where he says,
oh my god, you're fitty Marlowe, You're so great.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
Can you do that again?

Speaker 3 (11:28):
Or no?

Speaker 1 (11:28):
I mean if he wants me. I love meeting your fans.

Speaker 4 (11:31):
How did you meet this young laugh?

Speaker 6 (11:33):
That is uh gonna be kept confidential. I'll text you
the story over the air one. He's very secret.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
So are you afraid because you sprung this on us
at the last minute? You didn't want the fanfare on
this one?

Speaker 1 (11:45):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (11:45):
Are you afraid that? Like with the hype and fanfare.
It's like a curse. Are you're afraid that when I
start talking about these things, I mess it up?

Speaker 1 (11:53):
Is that what it is?

Speaker 6 (11:54):
Well, after you sung to Sister Christian, she proceeded in
that text back for a week in me.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
Yeah, oh one hundred percent. I thought you said you
like she liked my singing.

Speaker 6 (12:06):
I thought she did too, and then she quit texting back.
So this this one a little bit closer to the chief.
He doesn't live here, though, right, so Mac can say
whatever he wants. He's important. He's imported this one, I
think so fit daddy. I see you, baby?

Speaker 5 (12:23):
All right?

Speaker 1 (12:23):
Will you still there? We gotta do a will here.
Oh no, we got to ask you about cologne? What
what do you think about this? Uh? Pe man? I
I do?

Speaker 4 (12:33):
I I what my swan is Luis Swallez period.

Speaker 3 (12:35):
Stop.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
That's it, all right, and that's pretty self explanatory. Do
you uh uh? Do you wear cologne? I had a
theory that most that most married man don't wear Colonne
because I hadn't worked Colone in almost twenty years.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
But apparently I'm wrong.

Speaker 4 (12:47):
I I work the I work Colone absolutely you, Janelle Blue.
I actually bought a bottle with my wife on our honeymoon,
and she's like, Oh, I like that, and uh, I've
been wearing it ever since.

Speaker 5 (12:59):
You Willy smells When WILLI walks in here, the everything
elevates in the room. Will he's a very good smelling man.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
I Will Willy smells like the damn coloone section of J. C.
Pennies when he walks in.

Speaker 4 (13:11):
You know, I don't.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
I don't.

Speaker 3 (13:12):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
I don't like.

Speaker 4 (13:13):
I don't like bathing it. Guys, I put like two praise.

Speaker 3 (13:16):
That's it.

Speaker 5 (13:17):
I have a free sample cologne on the way from
my I have Midnight Cowboy that I normally use, but
they send me a free sample will you of something
called rock Chemistry, so I have this.

Speaker 3 (13:28):
Don't don't go and get the ones that they are
like peddling, like like with the people, like when they
spray it in your face.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
Like that at the mall.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
Don't get those at the mall because that's because that's
the one they're trying.

Speaker 4 (13:38):
To get rid of.

Speaker 1 (13:40):
That's a good that's a good tip.

Speaker 2 (13:41):

time in two decades, I will use that tip.
