(00:38):
a downfield. But spy that man.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Interesting that he's not throwing an interception this year yet,

anywhere near the defensive player.

Speaker 4 (02:39):
What what? What? What gain would I have to.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Report your video for Somebody reported fit.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Somebody reported it for adult content a couple of weeks ago,
apparently because of Fitty disrobing, and we thought maybe this
meant it was you, that's all, And if you do that,
it might be in the best interest of eyesight everywhere.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
Then, I mean, am I going to sit here and
tell you that I wasn't visually bothered by what I
saw in the video?
Speaker 6 (03:07):
Absolutely, but I'm.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
I'm I'm also not going to uh, I'm not. I'm

Speaker 1 (03:16):
Also made comments in the many comments on Twitter like
you were you were kind of like not impressed with
our dancing, like you were working.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
Did I did I say I was not impressed. I
just said it was bothersome. I just said it was bothersome.

the bikini and the harmonica? That the the trumpet monica's
got to stop.
Speaker 6 (03:39):
I'm warns it's.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Not it's a harmonica.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
It's not a harmonica. It's a victory horn.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
And by the way, this week, if they win, uh,
we're doing celebrity involvement in some of these. Now you
are up on Monday if the Panthers win.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Is that a fact? Yep? Okay?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Does that mean you're in?
Speaker 4 (04:05):
It depends.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
I have to take my father and mother to the
airport on Monday.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
You know the way stop in this man.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
By the way, I am not mad at all at
p He did not say anything about my horrible dancing.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Don't you just call out your prop and fidties.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
No, Now, I got, I got, I got other issues
with you, McClain.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Oh well, let's just do this.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Let's just do Let's just make Willy's World, Willy's issues
of the day.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
What's your issue with me?
Speaker 5 (04:34):
Get your grimy hands off of my coach and my
wife's coach. Maybe Penn State has to suck for a while.
Would that be the worst thing in the world.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Do you mean they don't They didn't fire a coach
that had seven double digit win seasons and pay forty
nine million to do it to suck, you know, they
gotta go big man, and.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
I'm your coach. Yeah, I wouldn't mind your coach.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
I'm telling you.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
I'm telling you if those people trying to pressure somebody
who was literally in the national.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Semi final a year ago, last year.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
Like not even twelve months ago, was in the national
semi final, and they're firing him for being on a
three game losing streak, maybe being a little arrogant.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Maybe that fan base doesn't deserve to be happy.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Listen, I don't like this.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
I like the way they treated them, but like it
was coming close to put up or shut up time
for Franklin anyway. And then when this happened, like eventually
they were going to probably part ways, see if they
can find someone to get them to this in.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
The country, how many programs in the country would give
their left you know what, to be in Penn State
choos right now?
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Many right now, I don't know about right now, they
look horrendous right now. But you ain't gonna get me
to turn on James Franklin. I think he's a heck
of a football coach. I actually hope a school like
NC State would hire them, but like it was, it
was time to part ways.
Speaker 6 (05:50):
Well, if they hire.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Eli drink Witz, it'll be the first.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
Time since Dan Divine that a Missouri coach left for
a better job. So maybe that maybe that's a justify.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
I'm not worry I'm not looking at your coach. I'm
looking at missus Pea's coach. And I apologize because missus
P holds that whole household together. Uh, she puts up
with you twenty four to seven. I got so much
respect for missus P. But I want them to try
to offer Kirk Signetti five gazillion.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
And I just Dana's got deeper Indiana's got deeper pockets
than you realize.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
I'll just say that, Okay, we're gonna have a deep pocket.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Off the word on the street. The school you have
to worry about for Eli Drinkowitz might be the Florida Gators.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
I'm not worried about it. I'm not worried about I'm
not worried.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
About that comes from on three Sports.
Speaker 6 (06:33):
That's not me about the fight Mark.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
I'm not worried about the fighting Mark, Ryan's and there
Jeordian games though.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
All right, let's talk about the Panthers. Me Let's Pete
came in hot with all kinds of issues with everybody.
Everybody on the show got an issue handed out from
p Pee. What do you think about our conversation we
just had. I I'm not saying we're gonna lose the game,
but I'm just kind of uneasy because these are the
type of spots where the Panthers would break our heart
on the road when they're supposed to win, when we
(07:00):
start thinking they've turned the corner. Do you have any
paranoia about this game against the Jets or do you
say no, not at all.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
I got plenty of paranoia because I've picked them in
similar spots before to either go to Locke City or
be an easy winner, and they've let me down. I'm
not gonna sit here and say that I'm not favoring
the Panthers. I mean, they was generally a favorite, probably
pick them to win. But the problem is we've also
(07:29):
seen very many demonstrated examples of them coming up short
in these.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Spots before, and a lot of times it happens.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
Of their own volition, whether it's a turnover, whether it's
a bad play Xavier League get laterals to Rico Daubell,
I mean, they're crazy. Stuff happens with this team. And
give them full credit for the last two weeks. I'm
not sitting here. I'm not sitting here and saying I
haven't been impressed with what they've done the last two weeks.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
I think this.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
Past week incredibly impressive, what they did against Dallas Cowboys,
and in a normal circumstance, independent of everything else that's
on the line, Jets so and sixth C and so on.
He would say in a vacuum, this game is an
easy pant of victory. But I also think from what
it would take to get to being.
Speaker 6 (08:13):
Over five hundred.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
You mention the Adam goldstat the last six times they've
pried it, uh, they've gone and then lost.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
So I'm gonna sit here and.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
Say this, a victory over the Jets this weekend will
be more transformational than anything that's happened so far, because
it will.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
It will show you.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
It would show so turn the corner.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
It would show you that they've turned the corner. And
I'm not saying they can't do it.
Speaker 6 (08:34):
I'm just saying.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
I'm not touching the money like you. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Okay, By the way, we have to contact our boss,
jeff Rickord this thing. Happy Birthday at nine, that's where
the wee actively landed. He came up there.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
You know, he's you know, he's on the air right now.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
I believe let's do a sil Let's do a simulcast
where he's on the Indie Morning show, We're on the
Charlotte Morning Show. He runs both stations, and he just
sings on stas.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Sing it to me over there and send it to us.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
Listening to his show last week in Indiana, it's it
was there, all.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Right, man, trying to get himself in trouble.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Will What do you think? What do you think is
real with this team? While you're still here? What do
you think is real with this team? And what's fool's gold?
In regards to the Panthers, I think what's real.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
Is the run game and as long as Canal is
fixed with it, and I think that's the part of
it that is h that's still somewhat I think under
review because you wonder about the last two teams who
have had very poor rush defenses. The thing about it is,
I still wonder whether or not the defense can play
well enough in games where they are at or even
the opposition offense in order to win football games consistently,
(09:45):
because there's.
Speaker 6 (09:46):
Still plenty of moments in games.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
Where you see them somewhat out class, like George Pickens
against the Dallas Cowboys early against Miami when when they
were given short fields. I think it's it's very very
evident to see where they are still vulnerable, particularly the
tight end and also with the boundary.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
And there's still, you know, some part.
Speaker 6 (10:04):
Of it in my mind that believes that even though.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
They've done very very well against the run, a team
like the Jets with Bryce Hall, if they if they
commit to the run, could very well give the Panthers
some problems. And also not to mention a mobile quarterback
like justin Fields. So from the standpoint of where we sit,
you know, there are things that are still somewhat under review.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
But I think the run.
Speaker 6 (10:26):
Game is still very very good.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
And I also think too the way Bryce Young has
played up against adversity I think needs to be acknowledged
and lauded and applauded because he's definitely come full circle.
I think around to where we saw him at the
end of last year. Again, the numbers aren't stistically gaudy,
but I think he's played very very well, despite making
some mistakes still that make you kind of wonder, hey,
(10:49):
is this still the same guy? So I do think
that the things on offense feel more real than the
defense at this point.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
I let's talk about FCP Man. We're all caught up
in the Panthers in college football. FC was off last
week for the international break. But what's about to happen
with Charlotte f C and I don't need to tell
you is some real important stuff, some intense stuff, and
could be fun.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
It really could be.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
They've got the decision Day final match where they have
a chance. I know, the simplest scenario is if they win,
they have the four seed and then that first best
of three series they will have home field advantage for that. Oh,
by the way, they're playing the team that is the
best team in the dang league in Philadelphia. Hopefully they're
getting a little healthier for this. What do you think
(11:34):
P Man talk to us about what do you feel
like this team's going to do on Saturday night. It
feels really important to get the four seed and have
home field with as good as we are at the bank.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
What do you think It's incredibly important because that's something
that the organization stated very very aptly and very demonstratively
at the end of last year. They thought that, hey,
if they would have gotten second home game against Orlando,
they would have gotten through and then as a result,
they would have had home field advantage throughout the rest
of the postseason because of how top to turvy the
(12:07):
results were in the rest of the Eastern Conference postseason.
So it is incredibly important because of how much is
on that first round series the rest of the rounds
or knockout stage, so they feel more like singular entities.
But the fact that you get a second chance at
home if you split the first two is incredibly important.
And I also think too, if it ends up being
(12:29):
New York City opposite them, that's one less game in
a baseball stadium, which we know Charlott of FFC has
not had success doing that over the course of their history.
So from that perspective, it's very very important. As far
as Philadelphia goes. I still have a hard time feeling
like Philadelphia is gonna give everything.
Speaker 6 (12:45):
They need to in this game. Yes, because of.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
The fact that everything is basically clinched and not it
up for them. There's nothing in this game for them.
I know Bradley Carnell is a coach who maybe values
momentum a little bit more than other coaches and doesn't
want to necessarily sit people.
Speaker 6 (12:58):
But I do think they believe that they.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
Can win with their system, regardless of the players that
they put out there. So I do expect a rotated squad,
and I do expect Charlotte FC to come out with
some kind of result, whether or not they get the help.
New York City play Seattle a tough, tough contest at
home for them themselves. All Charlotte C he has to
do is better than New York City on Saturday, and
they're in that fourth seed. So either a draw for
New York and a draw for Charlotte CE, or just
(13:22):
to win out right for Charlotte and there's nothing anybody
else can do.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
God, this is going to be This is kind of
like a playoff game, right, I Mean, you're in the playoffs,
but it feels like if you can win this one
against the best team out there at home at the Bank,
you feel like this is very meaningful to get home fields.
So Charlotte Footballclub dot com and get your tickets.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
It's going to be an.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Intense atmosphere on Saturday, six o'clock, five point thirty on
the air for Willie and Anna Bonemail Bone just brought
something in here for you, Willie.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
What do you go to the swine here? What do
you go you gotta do? Let them do the swine here?
Oh okay, all right now.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
I think we cover everybody. I think everybody early on.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
I think I think everybody. Everybody got them self covered.
Everybody got them self covered early.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Are you sure you don't want to hand on the
bone right now he's playing the horn.
Speaker 4 (14:09):

Speaker 5 (14:10):

Speaker 3 (14:15):
Willie Texter says he fears it's a ben Bender, ben
Bender revenge, revenge, buckle up game at the Bank.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
He is, he is there. George Marks is there too.

want to be there, do you?
Speaker 4 (14:56):
I have concern

I'm your coach. Yeah, I wouldn't mind your coach.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
I'm telling you.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
I'm telling you if those people trying to pressure somebody
who was literally in the national.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Semi final a year ago, last year.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
Like not even twelve months ago, was in the national
semi final, and they're firing him for being on a
three game losing streak, maybe being a little arrogant.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Maybe that fan base doesn't deserve to be happy.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Listen, I don't like this.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
I like the way they treated them, but like it
was coming close to put up or shut up time
for Franklin anyway. And then when this happened, like eventually
they were going to probably part ways, see if they
can find someone to get them to this in.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
The country, how many programs in the country would give
their left you know what, to be in Penn State
choos right now?
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Many right now, I don't know about right now, they
look horrendous right now. But you ain't gonna get me
to turn on James Franklin. I think he's a heck
of a football coach. I actually hope a school like
NC State would hire them, but like it was, it
was time to part ways.
Speaker 6 (05:50):
Well, if they hire.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Eli drink Witz, it'll be the first.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
Time since Dan Divine that a Missouri coach left for
a better job. So maybe that maybe that's a justify.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
I'm not worry I'm not looking at your coach. I'm
looking at missus Pea's coach. And I apologize because missus
P holds that whole household together. Uh, she puts up
with you twenty four to seven. I got so much
respect for missus P. But I want them to try
to offer Kirk Signetti five gazillion.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
And I just Dana's got deeper Indiana's got deeper pockets
than you realize.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
I'll just say that, Okay, we're gonna have a deep pocket.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Off the word on the street. The school you have
to worry about for Eli Drinkowitz might be the Florida Gators.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
I'm not worried about it. I'm not worried about I'm
not worried.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
About that comes from on three Sports.
Speaker 6 (06:33):
That's not me about the fight Mark.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
I'm not worried about the fighting Mark, Ryan's and there
Jeordian games though.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
All right, let's talk about the Panthers. Me Let's Pete
came in hot with all kinds of issues with everybody.
Everybody on the show got an issue handed out from
p Pee. What do you think about our conversation we
just had. I I'm not saying we're gonna lose the game,
but I'm just kind of uneasy because these are the
type of spots where the Panthers would break our heart
on the road when they're supposed to win, when we
(07:00):
start thinking they've turned the corner. Do you have any
paranoia about this game against the Jets or do you
say no, not at all.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
I got plenty of paranoia because I've picked them in
similar spots before to either go to Locke City or
be an easy winner, and they've let me down. I'm
not gonna sit here and say that I'm not favoring
the Panthers. I mean, they was generally a favorite, probably
pick them to win. But the problem is we've also
(07:29):
seen very many demonstrated examples of them coming up short
in these.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Spots before, and a lot of times it happens.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
Of their own volition, whether it's a turnover, whether it's
a bad play Xavier League get laterals to Rico Daubell,
I mean, they're crazy. Stuff happens with this team. And
give them full credit for the last two weeks. I'm
not sitting here. I'm not sitting here and saying I
haven't been impressed with what they've done the last two weeks.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
I think this.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
Past week incredibly impressive, what they did against Dallas Cowboys,
and in a normal circumstance, independent of everything else that's
on the line, Jets so and sixth C and so on.
He would say in a vacuum, this game is an
easy pant of victory. But I also think from what
it would take to get to being.
Speaker 6 (08:13):
Over five hundred.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
You mention the Adam goldstat the last six times they've
pried it, uh, they've gone and then lost.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
So I'm gonna sit here and.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
Say this, a victory over the Jets this weekend will
be more transformational than anything that's happened so far, because
it will.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
It will show you.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
It would show so turn the corner.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
It would show you that they've turned the corner. And
I'm not saying they can't do it.
Speaker 6 (08:34):
I'm just saying.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
I'm not touching the money like you. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Okay, By the way, we have to contact our boss,
jeff Rickord this thing. Happy Birthday at nine, that's where
the wee actively landed. He came up there.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
You know, he's you know, he's on the air right now.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
I believe let's do a sil Let's do a simulcast
where he's on the Indie Morning show, We're on the
Charlotte Morning Show. He runs both stations, and he just
sings on stas.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Sing it to me over there and send it to us.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
Listening to his show last week in Indiana, it's it
was there, all.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Right, man, trying to get himself in trouble.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Will What do you think? What do you think is
real with this team? While you're still here? What do
you think is real with this team? And what's fool's gold?
In regards to the Panthers, I think what's real.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
Is the run game and as long as Canal is
fixed with it, and I think that's the part of
it that is h that's still somewhat I think under
review because you wonder about the last two teams who
have had very poor rush defenses. The thing about it is,
I still wonder whether or not the defense can play
well enough in games where they are at or even
the opposition offense in order to win football games consistently,
(09:45):
because there's.
Speaker 6 (09:46):
Still plenty of moments in games.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
Where you see them somewhat out class, like George Pickens
against the Dallas Cowboys early against Miami when when they
were given short fields. I think it's it's very very
evident to see where they are still vulnerable, particularly the
tight end and also with the boundary.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
And there's still, you know, some part.
Speaker 6 (10:04):
Of it in my mind that believes that even though.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
They've done very very well against the run, a team
like the Jets with Bryce Hall, if they if they
commit to the run, could very well give the Panthers
some problems. And also not to mention a mobile quarterback
like justin Fields. So from the standpoint of where we sit,
you know, there are things that are still somewhat under review.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
But I think the run.
Speaker 6 (10:26):
Game is still very very good.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
And I also think too the way Bryce Young has
played up against adversity I think needs to be acknowledged
and lauded and applauded because he's definitely come full circle.
I think around to where we saw him at the
end of last year. Again, the numbers aren't stistically gaudy,
but I think he's played very very well, despite making
some mistakes still that make you kind of wonder, hey,
(10:49):
is this still the same guy? So I do think
that the things on offense feel more real than the
defense at this point.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
I let's talk about FCP Man. We're all caught up
in the Panthers in college football. FC was off last
week for the international break. But what's about to happen
with Charlotte f C and I don't need to tell
you is some real important stuff, some intense stuff, and
could be fun.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
It really could be.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
They've got the decision Day final match where they have
a chance. I know, the simplest scenario is if they win,
they have the four seed and then that first best
of three series they will have home field advantage for that. Oh,
by the way, they're playing the team that is the
best team in the dang league in Philadelphia. Hopefully they're
getting a little healthier for this. What do you think
(11:34):
P Man talk to us about what do you feel
like this team's going to do on Saturday night. It
feels really important to get the four seed and have
home field with as good as we are at the bank.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
What do you think It's incredibly important because that's something
that the organization stated very very aptly and very demonstratively
at the end of last year. They thought that, hey,
if they would have gotten second home game against Orlando,
they would have gotten through and then as a result,
they would have had home field advantage throughout the rest
of the postseason because of how top to turvy the
(12:07):
results were in the rest of the Eastern Conference postseason.
So it is incredibly important because of how much is
on that first round series the rest of the rounds
or knockout stage, so they feel more like singular entities.
But the fact that you get a second chance at
home if you split the first two is incredibly important.
And I also think too, if it ends up being
(12:29):
New York City opposite them, that's one less game in
a baseball stadium, which we know Charlott of FFC has
not had success doing that over the course of their history.
So from that perspective, it's very very important. As far
as Philadelphia goes. I still have a hard time feeling
like Philadelphia is gonna give everything.
Speaker 6 (12:45):
They need to in this game. Yes, because of.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
The fact that everything is basically clinched and not it
up for them. There's nothing in this game for them.
I know Bradley Carnell is a coach who maybe values
momentum a little bit more than other coaches and doesn't
want to necessarily sit people.
Speaker 6 (12:58):
But I do think they believe that they.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
Can win with their system, regardless of the players that
they put out there. So I do expect a rotated squad,
and I do expect Charlotte FC to come out with
some kind of result, whether or not they get the help.
New York City play Seattle a tough, tough contest at
home for them themselves. All Charlotte C he has to
do is better than New York City on Saturday, and
they're in that fourth seed. So either a draw for
New York and a draw for Charlotte CE, or just
(13:22):
to win out right for Charlotte and there's nothing anybody
else can do.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
God, this is going to be This is kind of
like a playoff game, right, I Mean, you're in the playoffs,
but it feels like if you can win this one
against the best team out there at home at the Bank,
you feel like this is very meaningful to get home fields.
So Charlotte Footballclub dot com and get your tickets.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
It's going to be an.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Intense atmosphere on Saturday, six o'clock, five point thirty on
the air for Willie and Anna Bonemail Bone just brought
something in here for you, Willie.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
What do you go to the swine here? What do
you go you gotta do? Let them do the swine here?
Oh okay, all right now.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
I think we cover everybody. I think everybody early on.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
I think I think everybody. Everybody got them self covered.
Everybody got them self covered early.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Are you sure you don't want to hand on the
bone right now he's playing the horn.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
I can't.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
I can't give a man a swan on his birthday.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Even Willie's got some limits to swineing.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Willie Texter says he fears it's a ben Bender, ben
Bender revenge, revenge, buckle up game at the Bank.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
He is, he is there. George Marks is there too.
You know there's there could.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Be this game? All right, man, Hey have a good call, dude.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
I'm gonna be listening to y'all as I'm watching it,
and I can't wait for the playoffs to get going.
For FC man, you're gonna be You're gonna be great
as always calling him. Appreciate you, brother, and remember victory dance.
If we win, You're you're the guest answer bankin your family.
Speaker 6 (14:47):
All right?
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Do we do we get playoff mac?
Speaker 5 (14:50):
If if we get a home game, yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
I'm definitely going to the playoff game. But you don't
want to be there, do you?
Speaker 4 (14:56):
I have concern
