  Speaker 2: The crown belongs to Charlotte.

  Speaker 1: The crown gets its fourth consecutive victory at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: They own Atlanta. Charlotte wins 2-0, getting their first clean
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: sheet since the World Cup break.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: And they will sleep in fourth place in the Eastern Conference.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: Tell them, P-Man. Tell them who owns Atlanta, baby. Charlotte
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: FC and Bryce Young own Atlanta. That's who owns Atlanta.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: That is Willie P from the awesome call of the
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: awesome win on the road in Atlanta by Charlotte FC.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: Four in a row down there. We've got to talk
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: about that. We've got to talk about the Panther season
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: approach in college football.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: We've got all kinds of stuff to get into. Food?
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: His hamburger condiment takes bone? That are, you know, that
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: rub some of us.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: The wrong way. Can I say something about Willie P
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: real quick? He's the P-Man. What's up? What's up? I'm
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: not sure he's the right food guy for us on
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: the show.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: You want to fire him as the official food man?
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Can we vote somebody else in? Oh, no. P-Man, why
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: is Bone trying to get rid of you as a
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: food guy? What's going on?
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: I'm glad we're starting off on a hostile foot this morning, guys.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: I was in a very good mood before I joined
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: this program.
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: It's not you. It's just I don't know if our food...
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: If our food... We.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Align right on food stuff sometimes. I feel like.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Well, we've never aligned right on food because y'all have
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: the palates of children. Oh! We've never aligned right on food.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Oh, my goodness. But you've got a hoity-toity palate. What's
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: wrong with... How dare you? I don't have.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: A hoity-toity... You guys have always overstated my palate. My
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: palate is not hoity-toity. Yours is just so far down
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: to the lowest common denominator that I can't get down there.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: I like a lot more normal things... I like a
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: lot more normal things than you guys give me credit for.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: But why can't I do ketchup, mayonnaise, and mustard all
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: mixed together on my burger?
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: You can do whatever you want. All I said was,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: if you just only put mayo on there, it's gross.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: That's all. I didn't say you couldn't put mayo as
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: part of a combination of other things. I never said that.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Didn't you also— I ate a burger last night that had,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: you know, basically a restaurant-created Big Mac sauce type thing
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: where that's got mayo in it. I've got no problem
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: with mayonnaise on principle.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: He always needs– do you always need something fruit-free?
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Something special. Did you like the Mac sauce?
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I'm a big Mac sauce fan. I'm a huge Mac
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: sauce fan. There's a restaurant in Rock Hill. My wife
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: and I went out. It was the five-year anniversary of
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: our engagement last night. We went out for dinner, and
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: there's this great burger joint. that are a great sit-down
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: restaurant that's got an incredible burger, and they use basically
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: a Big Mac type, it's like an elevated Big Mac,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: and I loved it.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: See, that's the difference.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: You're going for elevated Big Macs. We're going for regular
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: Big Macs on this show. We're a man of the people.
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: What's that stuff you put on there, Aragula? What's it
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: called there?
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Aioli.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: No, no, no. What's it called?
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Arugula?
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it. Arugula, yo! Oh, my goodness.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: This texter says, Willie probably likes avocado toast.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: I'll eat avocado toast, but it's not something I would,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: you know, I'd much prefer going to Waffle House, personally.
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: I respect that. Bo, try it now on Willie. Let's
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: see if it works like it does for Murphy.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Smothered, covered, chunked, and peppered. I'm a big, big house guy. Okay.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: Willie will not budge, Boney. He is focused. P-Man, let's
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: talk about Charlotte FC. Man, I love the way this
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: team is playing. Maxie seems to get better and more
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: fit every week. Abada, what a different player he's been.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: I mean, what are you thinking? Where's the limit for
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: this Charlotte FC squad, the way they're playing.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Right now, man?
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I tell you what, the offensive creativity has gone up
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: a notch with the inclusion of Alan St. Maxim in
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: the squad. And I know that there's maybe some people
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: who feel like they sit back a little bit too much,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: but it allows them the ability to have the open space.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: with some of these great counterattacking goals they've scored, like
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: the two they scored against Atlanta, and also the final
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: goal they scored against D.C. United. Maxey definitely brings about
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: a much different profile than Wilfred Zaha, because Zaha, while
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: he had a lot of the ingenuity and brute strength,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: probably didn't have the agility at the level that St.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Maximin has. as somebody who's a little bit closer to
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: his prime than Zaha was. And I think he just,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: he has the ability to make guys miss, but he
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: also knows when to make the pass. He knows what
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: kind of pass is required. And I love his chemistry
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: with Pat Biel. He said something very interesting, a lot
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: of things very interesting, but one of the most interesting
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: things he said when he got here was, I'm here
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: to make Pat Biel look good and make him look better.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: And that's already happened already. So that's incredible things to
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: see with the two of them looking up. And it's
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: created a selfish choice for center backs because you can't
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: double team both of them.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: How much of a case does Pep have for MVP
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: like Dax McCarthy was talking about Saturday night?
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: You know, it's one of those things that, unfortunately, in
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: a league that is dominated by Lionel Messi, it's hard
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: to see anybody other than him win the MVP. I
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: think in any other year, if Messi wasn't included or
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: wasn't having a good season, he'd definitely be up there.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: I think Evander is another one who probably will get
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: a lot of votes from him, but... I like that
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: he's getting his just due now amongst MLS pundits. And
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: I didn't like him. And I think Max said it
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: something like this earlier in the week where I didn't
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: like that. It took Dean Smith being the head coach
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: of the all-star team for him to get his first
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: all-star voting.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Seriously.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: He should have been an all-star a year ago with
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: the way that he played. And he's on an even
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: better pace this year in terms of his goals and assists.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: He is going to shatter the Charlotte FC career goals
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: and assists goal contributions record. He's one away from doing so. So,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: I think it's one of those things where it's a
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: matter of time before he starts being looked at as
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: a more household name in LLS spaces. But I'm glad
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: that people like Dax and others around MLS are starting
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: to recognize him and what he brings to the table.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: Way overdue. No doubt about it. Willie P is with
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: us for Willie's World. You know there will probably be
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: more food talks. There's a lot of text coming in.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: Weatherman Barkner. Weatherman Mark taking a run. What's he talking about?
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Willie might need mayo to make his brisket juicier.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. I don't want to hear from Eeyore
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: this morning, man. I do not want to hear from him.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Has anybody ever thought that Weatherman Mark sounds like Eeyore
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: whenever he comes on the air? I'll tell you what, man.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: I'm sitting here in my gloomy spot, man. I can't
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: deal with it, man. I'll tell you what, man.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Would you rather sound like Eeyore or Mickey Mouse, though? Oh, man.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I happen to have gotten critical acclaim for
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: sounding like Mickey Mouse. Thank you very much.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: I'm here for a weatherman Mark Willie feud. Oh, this
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: is the feud. We didn't know we needed this. That
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: was a tremendous impression. That was good. Eeyore reference was good.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: Weatherman Mark. Oh, he's stewing right now. Weatherman Mark. He's
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: typing something back.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: He is stewing.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: P-Man, before we get to other stuff, I want to
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: ask you about the defense for Charlotte FC. I'm not
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: trying to slander anybody else on this squad. I like
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: the defensive depth we have right now. But honestly, I
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: love having Kessler in there now.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Next to Ream.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: I love having the fullbacks we have, even Cleary, the
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: young buck. I honestly, I kind of like him better
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: than Byrne. I like Schnegg better than Toffolo. Am I
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: off base to feel like this is now our best
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: group of defenders?
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think you've seen the way the Gabber
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: feels about it, where, you know, it sounds to me
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: like Nathan Byrne is good and healthy and Cleary's playing
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: ahead of him. And I think that they're recognizing something
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: with the floor that they have back there. That first
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: choice four is pretty darn good. And I think, you know, Morrison,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: you don't lose a lot when you go to him,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: I don't think. I think he had some green moments
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: at the early part of the season, but I think
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: him and Kessler have worked really, really well together. I
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: like Kessler and Morrison better than I like Raymond Morrison.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: And I like Raymond Kessler as well. The, you know, that,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: that kind of first choice, a two man center back
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: routine is, that wouldn't have been having to pull up
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: for some, you know, midweek relief. I think unfortunately the
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: one part where I think you lose Schneggie is that
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: he's not as good a defender as Topolo is one
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: V one. So I think it's one of the, we
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: know Schnegg can get, get direct and get down and,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: and he's got a good relationship right now with Alan St. Maxman.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: And I'd love for that to develop also with Toph, but,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: I think that first choice four has looked very, very good.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: And I think as you start to get to some
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: match congestion, they're going to have a three-game week this week.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: If Toffolo can get back healthy and Byrne maybe gets
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: some spot minutes, all that does is improve your depth.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: And I think that's something that Charlotte FC has desperately
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: needed in previous seasons as they get ready for the playoffs.
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: Willie's approval rating right now in the text line is
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: like 99%.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: People cannot get enough of your Weatherman market. Oh, my God.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: People say they're crying. Monroe Lair says she's crying. Panther
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: Bo's stomach hurts from laughing. Buffet Enforcer has thrown this
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: one in for you, Willie. Does Weatherman Mark sound like
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: Eeyore or Hank Hill?
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's a combo.
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: Bebop says Willie got tired of getting clowns, so he
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: took it out on poor Weatherman Mark.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Because I like Mark and Mark's a good caller, but like,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm sorry, I'm not gonna take i'm not
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: gonna take slander on food from a guy who's who's
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: too busy with his turbine he.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Took it well though he said i still love you willie.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: He did he did that's sweet that's sweet of him p-man.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: But his turbines are spinning right now.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: Bone brought up a good point p-man we are a
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: week and a half away wait hey Oh, my God.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: He's on fire today.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: Man, you're on fire.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: He's making himself laugh.
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: By the way, you made Finney laugh so hard, his
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: tongue is red right now.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Like a cartoon character.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: Oh, my gosh. P, we're a week and a half
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: away from the start of the Panther season. Have you
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: gone on record with your win prediction yet?
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: I haven't. I'll give it to you. I think, I
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: think they can win nine games. I think I'm at
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: nine and eight. That's where I'm at.
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: Not at eight.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: That's I think that's about where I am. The board
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: you're at 17 over here on this thing.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I crossed out your 17. Here's your, you want it?
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: You want some 70? Here's your 17.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Right here. No, I'm in for nine wins. I'm a little...
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: I know the Bobby O'Kara case signing maybe stabilizes his
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: linebacker scenario. I just still have my fears there. I
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: think also, you know, the depth surrounding Derek Brown and
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: the interior defensive line is something that's a little bit concerning.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: The first place schedule is also a little bit hard
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: for me to at least stomach in terms of them
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: getting more than nine wins. I'll be happy if they
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: get 10. I'm not going to sit here and say
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: that I'd be surprised if they got 10. I just
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: think 10 represents... Everything going right for them and getting
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: the guys back at a level that they can, you know,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: getting them back expediently, I would say. You know, like
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Icky getting back and Taylor getting back, Turk Warden getting back.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: I think not having those guys for an appreciable amount
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: of time is going to be something that potentially hurts
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: their ability to get beyond nine.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Weatherman Mark has put out a statement that Willie showed today.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: He hates weather.
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: Southern country people, yeehaw.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: I absolutely love Southern country people. I probably, when it
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: comes to the Southern part stuff, I probably do a
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: lot more of the Southern things than some of y'all do. Like,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: I love me some cherry lemon sundrop. I love liver mush.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: I love pimento cheese. I love biscuits and gravy. I'm
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: all about the Southern country people.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: All right. There you go, Mark. There you go. I
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: will be honest. You're a regular redneck, we always say.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: I will be. I will be honest, though, P-Man.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: I probably stirred Mark up because he initially said, love you, Willie, anyway.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: And then I said, how dare he impersonate you, Mark?
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: And then he came back with the Willie slander.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Yeehaw.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: I kind of yeehawed. So I kind of. I mean,
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: it's hard to come back.
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: I wanted to stir this feud up. Willie, it's hard
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: to come back from getting yeehawed.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Who you swining this week, P-Man?
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: I got to swine Pitty's toffees because not only did
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: they get left at the altar by Flo Balligan last night,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: the Premier League transfer.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: That's kind of hurt.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: But they also talked about having a big announcement coming.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: You're thinking, okay, maybe this is a big transfer coming in,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: somebody signed. I know they brought in Jack Grealish, but
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: they basically pulled a conkle and said, we have a
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: big announcement. We're bringing back Everton Donuts. And so after
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: they were basically a donut in the transfer window, hoodwink
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: their fans by basically pulling a couple and saying, we
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: got something big to announce. We're doing donuts again.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: What about that donut on the Premier League table there, Willie?
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: How about that, man? Yeah, get him out of here.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: I got him out of here. You don't want him? Yeah,
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: I don't want him.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: You don't come on the premier soccer show on WFNZ
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: and take your run at Everton, okay? Not why Tottenham
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: and Manchester United are the jokes of the Premier League.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure there's a donut in Tottenham's goal column
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: after two games, not just their points column. Ooh, man,
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: that was well played, Finney.
