- 0:07Speaker 1: Allow me to reintroduce myself. My name is I'm willpo Logic.
- 0:12Speaker 1: That's right, baby, It's Willie's world. We're just living in it.

- 0:26Speaker 2: Anna Whitty are gonna have the call for you here
- 0:28Speaker 2: on w F and Z. Cannot wait to check this
- 0:32Speaker 2: one out tonight. And by the way, do you want
- 0:36Speaker 2: to mention Bone Man that you can uh, you can
- 0:40Speaker 2: hear the pregame at seven tonight is in seven thirty start.
- 0:48Speaker 2: Fitty's giving me a thumbs up. Bone is giving me
- 0:51Speaker 2: a blank stare right now. Seven thirty Star just turned
- 0:55Speaker 2: my seven o'lock seven o'clock pregame.
- 0:57Speaker 3: I just turned my head like a puppy dog trying
- 0:59Speaker 3: to fit out what you're saying. They go across from
- 1:02Speaker 3: the radio that way, but that's what I was trying
- 1:03Speaker 3: to go for.
- 1:04Speaker 2: Then I feel like Bone was like, I'm gonna let
- 1:06Speaker 2: Mac yap. I'm gonna let him ask Willie a question,
- 1:09Speaker 2: and then when Willie's done, yapp, and then I'm gonna
- 1:12Speaker 2: lock in and ask my question.
- 1:13Speaker 3: I feel like that's where you were. I was over there.
- 1:15Speaker 3: I was texting a future guests honest, away, it was
- 1:19Speaker 3: actually working. Text away, babe, I mean like I was
- 1:23Speaker 3: actually doing something rather than just staring off into the Anyway,
- 1:26Speaker 3: we got that sorted out, baby, P Man. I guess
- 1:29Speaker 3: said no, but I was texting the guest P man
- 1:32Speaker 3: with us. Uh, P Man, what's going on?
- 1:34Speaker 1: Brother?
- 1:34Speaker 2: We got you? We got your on airtime sorted out there, brother?
- 1:37Speaker 2: How you doing?
- 1:39Speaker 4: You guys are bout the fishing as the Panthers first
- 1:41Speaker 4: team offense on Saturday.
- 1:43Speaker 1: Hey, that's not funny.
- 1:45Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, pee with let's jump right into it.
- 1:48Speaker 2: How much does it make you worry about the team
- 1:52Speaker 2: what you saw on Saturday?
- 1:55Speaker 5: I mean, it's basically part for the course.
- 1:56Speaker 4: So we should expect to win a division this year
- 1:58Speaker 4: right in preseason and have a slow start that the
- 2:02Speaker 4: regular season.
- 2:03Speaker 5: But figure it out.
- 2:04Speaker 4: Look, I mean, I think the approach of this regime
- 2:10Speaker 4: to the preseason is that the games themselves are just
- 2:14Speaker 4: a fragment of what you look at from a judgment standpoint. Hopefully,
- 2:19Speaker 4: by their standards, they feel like they can gleam a
- 2:22Speaker 4: lot from the early portion of the preseason. Positively, I
- 2:26Speaker 4: think the real tests are going to come here in
- 2:28Speaker 4: these next two weeks with these two joint practices against
- 2:30Speaker 4: Jaguars and the Texans, because as we've heard Dave Canalis
- 2:35Speaker 4: tell us, and not just him, we've heard it from
- 2:37Speaker 4: other coaches, is that this is kind of the real
- 2:39Speaker 4: time where you get the best on best, you get
- 2:42Speaker 4: to actually implement some things, and they do things in
- 2:45Speaker 4: a more controled atmosphere. I do like that Dave Canallys
- 2:48Speaker 4: has come out and said they are going to play
- 2:50Speaker 4: the ones again during the game. It's kind of like
- 2:53Speaker 4: the old format would be the third preseason game for
- 2:56Speaker 4: this team would be the dress rehearsal. It's still the
- 2:58Speaker 4: second for a lot of other teams, and I'm guessing
- 3:00Speaker 4: we're probably not going to see anybody during the fourth
- 3:03Speaker 4: game or week three, So at least they're trying to
- 3:07Speaker 4: show some semblance of maybe tweaking the way that they've
- 3:10Speaker 4: done things in the past, because in previous years that'd
- 3:14Speaker 4: be the only time we see Bryce Young during the preseason.
- 3:16Speaker 4: So I'm glad it's at least going to get a
- 3:18Speaker 4: second time to run out there, and the rest of
- 3:21Speaker 4: the first come moments will be the second ten run
- 3:23Speaker 4: out there. I just hope that number one is a
- 3:25Speaker 4: better offensive line in front of them and number two
- 3:28Speaker 4: that are a heck of a lot more efficient.
- 3:30Speaker 3: Willie, When you wick at this team as we get
- 3:32Speaker 3: closer to the season, what do you like most about
- 3:36Speaker 3: this team and what worries you the most?
- 3:39Speaker 4: Well, I think they'll be able to run the football
- 3:41Speaker 4: because I think they'll you know, having Chewba Hubbard in
- 3:43Speaker 4: there will definitely be something that gives them a lot
- 3:46Speaker 4: better opportunity to run the football. And again, hopefully those
- 3:49Speaker 4: offensive live peachers are up there, and I'm really really
- 3:54Speaker 4: enthralled by what you can do with the pass catching aspect.
- 3:56Speaker 4: When you add Darren Waller, I think that definitely adds
- 3:59Speaker 4: an element that that might change the room and change
- 4:03Speaker 4: the concept of where the Panthers looking for in terms of, hey,
- 4:07Speaker 4: you now have a third down outlet that's not Jalen Cocher.
- 4:09Speaker 4: That'll take a lot of coverage away from Jalen Cocher.
- 4:12Speaker 4: And I also think too that the room is really
- 4:14Speaker 4: pushing each other. I think, you know, last year, we
- 4:17Speaker 4: kind of gonna be inflated some things, you know, especially
- 4:19Speaker 4: when related to Hunter Renfro. But I think now it's
- 4:22Speaker 4: it's like, Okay, you've got a lot more competitive depth
- 4:24Speaker 4: in that room, and I think you're going to have
- 4:26Speaker 4: a lot more options for Bryce Shoulder to the football
- 4:28Speaker 4: in well, he had the time to do, so that's
- 4:30Speaker 4: the biggest question. And Howell Monroe freely developed and you know,
- 4:35Speaker 4: the defense. While I understand that, you know people are
- 4:38Speaker 4: going to be mad about what happened with Trepon Wallace
- 4:40Speaker 4: and Claude Cheryliss, it's important.
- 4:42Speaker 5: To remember that those two guys are.
- 4:44Speaker 4: Battling for the second linebacker spot. I think having Devin Lloyd,
- 4:47Speaker 4: I think having Jalen Phillips, I think those guys are
- 4:49Speaker 4: really going to pop. I think the secondary might have
- 4:53Speaker 4: had some unfortunate issues on Saturday. I didn't have the
- 4:57Speaker 4: freak out that Fitty thought that I was going to have,
- 5:00Speaker 4: even though I heard him talk about it on his
- 5:02Speaker 4: postgame show while he was trying to struggle through using
- 5:05Speaker 4: the word dynamism as opposed to dynamics and physicism. But
- 5:08Speaker 4: at the same point in time, I, uh, look at
- 5:11Speaker 4: it and I say, it's still preseason and and and
- 5:13Speaker 4: I'm okay, they're using vanilla coverages. I did not like
- 5:16Speaker 4: to seem like Joe Brady took it personally and uh
- 5:19Speaker 4: and wanted to actually go out there and throw random
- 5:21Speaker 4: concepts out there. But I don't. I don't look at
- 5:24Speaker 4: it as the big freak out that everybody else need
- 5:27Speaker 4: to do on Saturday.
- 5:28Speaker 3: I sound like postgame on Postgame Crimes. Seriously, the normal
- 5:31Speaker 3: postgame show host just taking a run at the guy
- 5:33Speaker 3: doing some work.
- 5:34Speaker 2: Man, Yeah, no doubt. Hey, it's preseason for Fiddy's vocabulary.
- 5:38Speaker 2: Will he give him a break?
- 5:39Speaker 1: Man?
- 5:40Speaker 4: It's always preseason's vocabulary.
- 5:42Speaker 3: Oh fit, What do you gotta say for your vocabulary, sir?
- 5:48Speaker 1: My vocabulary was about as well as you does. That brisket.
- 5:53Speaker 5: He went.
- 5:55Speaker 3: Back on again to it the Cold War's back. They
- 5:58Speaker 3: just got over Fitty talking about Willie moving. Now here
- 6:01Speaker 3: we go.
- 6:03Speaker 2: Oh man, Willie, I noticed that you had You did
- 6:07Speaker 2: chime in yesterday when Fitty unveiled that he was eavesdropping
- 6:11Speaker 2: on a conversation between Darren Gant and Joe Person that
- 6:15Speaker 2: he was not involved in a training camp, and then
- 6:18Speaker 2: repeated some of it on the air, it seemed like
- 6:21Speaker 2: you weren't surprised based on your text yesterday.
- 6:24Speaker 4: The least surprising thing that happened. Ever, he is a
- 6:27Speaker 4: fitterazzi like that's his thing, you know. He he he
- 6:30Speaker 4: loves to have his head at everybody's business.
- 6:32Speaker 5: It's his thing.
- 6:34Speaker 2: He does. Bone seem to know a lot of things
- 6:37Speaker 2: about like office gossip.
- 6:39Speaker 3: He's always I always wonder how does he how is
- 6:42Speaker 3: he brought into all these discussions of high ranking officials
- 6:45Speaker 3: and people in the know. And now I realize he's
- 6:48Speaker 3: just sitting in the corner.
- 6:50Speaker 4: Should we should call it JMZ?
- 6:54Speaker 5: You should do a segment he's called it zar.
- 6:58Speaker 3: I heard some news about Fiddy today, but I'm not
- 7:00Speaker 3: gonna say it on the air because I'm not gonna
- 7:02Speaker 3: do what he does. But I heard some things about fitting.
- 7:04Speaker 4: Now you got to show, you gotta show what the.
- 7:06Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do that to my man. He wants
- 7:08Speaker 1: to Sharry Camp, but I'm not gonna do that. But
- 7:11Speaker 1: she wanted us to know that you. I was told
- 7:13Speaker 1: the news. I was told, don't say it on the air,
- 7:15Speaker 1: especially don't tell Matt.
- 7:17Speaker 5: So we gotta the date set up?
- 7:20Speaker 1: God, So you got something cook it fit?
- 7:24Speaker 5: No the sub lady, what.
- 7:25Speaker 4: Do we got?
- 7:29Speaker 1: I didn't see me. I didn't drop the news on there.
- 7:31Speaker 4: I dropped the news that you have what you got
- 7:34Speaker 4: baby like you know, if you upgraded to like an
- 7:37Speaker 4: Abati cook or what we got here.
- 7:41Speaker 1: I gotta tell you that would be a great person
- 7:42Speaker 1: to date.
- 7:42Speaker 5: That.
- 7:44Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why it never goes out.
- 7:46Speaker 5: I think, be great. You could get your fried Rice.
- 7:48Speaker 4: Did time you want?
- 7:49Speaker 5: You know, she could do the Onion Canyon for you.
- 7:51Speaker 5: You know it'd be great.
- 7:52Speaker 3: I'll do the volcano. Oh my god, that's a dream
- 7:55Speaker 3: woman fit. Do you want to share this with the
- 7:57Speaker 3: class or his only bone get.
- 7:59Speaker 5: To know this.
- 8:00Speaker 1: It's only between bone and God. Oh my god. It
- 8:04Speaker 1: feels good to know some other people don't know.
- 8:07Speaker 4: You know, you know the first rule of radio is
- 8:08Speaker 4: you have to take a private life door. At least
- 8:10Speaker 4: that's the way I was talking.
- 8:11Speaker 1: That is so true, That is so true. I mean,
- 8:13Speaker 1: now it puts pressure on Fitty to tell it.
- 8:15Speaker 4: On the hair.
- 8:15Speaker 2: Now a listener is gonna want to know what he's cooking.
- 8:18Speaker 2: I get it, though you don't want it. You don't
- 8:20Speaker 2: want me blabbing, and then you don't want it to
- 8:22Speaker 2: blow up again.
- 8:23Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you know what it is.
- 8:26Speaker 4: You know what it is. Mac probably thinks that she's
- 8:28Speaker 4: really good looking. So that's that's you know, he was.
- 8:29Speaker 4: I don't want to jinx anything.
- 8:31Speaker 3: Yeah he could be, man, this could be serious one.
- 8:33Speaker 3: But I believe you calling the last girl rookie cookie
- 8:36Speaker 3: right away?
- 8:37Speaker 1: Man? Is he trying to avoid a situation like that?
- 8:39Speaker 4: You think?
- 8:40Speaker 3: Uh?
- 8:41Speaker 2: P man, Let's talk. Uh let's talk some Charlotte f
- 8:43Speaker 2: C Willie pe with us here for Willy's World. On
- 8:46Speaker 2: the Maxim Bue already told Mac how dare you think that?
- 8:49Speaker 2: How dare you think that Mac? No bone would never
- 8:53Speaker 2: it's killing me right now though, it is killing me.
- 8:54Speaker 2: Take your phone all right? So, uh P man, what
- 8:58Speaker 2: did you What did you think of the performance on
- 9:02Speaker 2: Saturday night? I love the way they defended as a team.
- 9:07Speaker 2: I know that they allowed twenty eight shots but only
- 9:10Speaker 2: one big chance, where at the other end they only
- 9:13Speaker 2: had about eight shots but five were a big chance.
- 9:16Speaker 2: I don't mind playing that sort of game where they
- 9:18Speaker 2: only have thirty percent possession if you're going to finish
- 9:21Speaker 2: at the other end. And I love the fact that
- 9:24Speaker 2: Maxie up his minute. So how did you feel on
- 9:26Speaker 2: Saturday night after that one?
- 9:29Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 9:29Speaker 4: I think the fact that you got two goals, right, away,
- 9:32Speaker 4: you knew what response was coming from Columbus. First off,
- 9:35Speaker 4: I thought they they probably rotated their squad a little
- 9:37Speaker 4: bit too much. I mean they put six changes out
- 9:39Speaker 4: there from the squad that got them through against Puma.
- 9:41Speaker 4: So I think you had a feeling that maybe Charlotte
- 9:44Speaker 4: Who's going to come out, you know, running through the breaks,
- 9:47Speaker 4: and they certainly did with the Bronoco goal. Again, I
- 9:50Speaker 4: asked him yesterday, I was like, did you think you
- 9:52Speaker 4: were offside? And he said no. So I feel a
- 9:54Speaker 4: little bit vindicated on that because from the angle, the
- 9:57Speaker 4: angle that we were looking at it, I mean, it's
- 9:59Speaker 4: even more pronoun to how much space he had gotten.
- 10:01Speaker 4: But I'm glad that on the look that we got
- 10:03Speaker 4: up top that that he was definitely on. And then
- 10:06Speaker 4: about it does very very well for the penalty of Earn.
- 10:10Speaker 4: I want to focus on him a little bit because
- 10:12Speaker 4: he's somebody who I think we kind of left for
- 10:15Speaker 4: dead a little bit with this roster. But he's come
- 10:18Speaker 4: on and like he looks like the guy that we
- 10:20Speaker 4: signed against. You know that year he came here.
- 10:24Speaker 5: You know, he had the big brace against Atlanta. He
- 10:26Speaker 5: had a lot of.
- 10:26Speaker 4: Great you know, dynamism, at the beginning of his career,
- 10:29Speaker 4: but at the same point in time he hasn't found
- 10:31Speaker 4: it lately. You know, he went a home calendar year
- 10:33Speaker 4: without squaring goal in MLS and and really was fighting it.
- 10:36Speaker 4: He lost his spot to Caron Vargas. But but now
- 10:39Speaker 4: that he's gotten opportunity to play, he's been really, really good.
- 10:43Speaker 4: Deans says he's liked you know, he doesn't mind having
- 10:45Speaker 4: those kinds of games where the opposing team has, you know,
- 10:48Speaker 4: twenty or more shots and none of them hit the target.
- 10:51Speaker 4: Like that seems to be you know, when a team
- 10:53Speaker 4: is very frustrated against us, they try to take all
- 10:55Speaker 4: those shots outside the box. It's unfortunately that charlod Up
- 10:57Speaker 4: sees a lot more shots or more goals from outside
- 10:59Speaker 4: the box and another team a twelve of them. So
- 11:02Speaker 4: that's at least at least something that's a little bit
- 11:04Speaker 4: of a dangerous sign and a warning sign. But I
- 11:07Speaker 4: didn't mind having the ability to kind of sit back
- 11:10Speaker 4: and absorb some pressure and get some goals in the counter.
- 11:13Speaker 4: And I love having Allen Stint Maximan go for forty
- 11:16Speaker 4: five minutes. I did find it funny that the Dean
- 11:18Speaker 4: did get the hairy eyeball from the physiostaff by saying, hey,
- 11:22Speaker 4: you know, maybe I want to get him in at
- 11:23Speaker 4: halftime and they were like, are you kidding me? So
- 11:26Speaker 4: that that was a good representation to progress from him,
- 11:29Speaker 4: and hopefully that means we receive more of him tonight
- 11:31Speaker 4: end or Saturday.
- 11:32Speaker 3: Willie the East in MLS in the FC area right
- 11:36Speaker 3: now is more jammed up than Granny Pass been this week.
- 11:40Speaker 3: How do you think that that shakes out there? And
- 11:42Speaker 3: ultimately what is the what is the ceiling for FC
- 11:46Speaker 3: in the Eastern Conference?
- 11:47Speaker 5: You think it's so.
- 11:48Speaker 4: Jammed up you mightn't want to you know, I want
- 11:50Speaker 4: to add a toll ling. You know that's how Charlotte
- 11:52Speaker 4: fixtures things. So you know that's how that's how you
- 11:56Speaker 4: helped traffic, right you had a coal a and that's
- 11:58Speaker 4: how that's.
- 11:58Speaker 1: Clearly clearly max back and forth there right now.
- 12:03Speaker 2: No I like it so that you're gonna get if
- 12:06Speaker 2: you break toll lane jokes out, You're gonna get a
- 12:08Speaker 2: guy that lives up where Bone does to laugh at that,
- 12:10Speaker 2: you know what I mean?
- 12:11Speaker 1: Because you got that right there. It's like, why couldn't
- 12:14Speaker 1: you just put those first?
- 12:15Speaker 5: Of all?
- 12:15Speaker 2: They still don't have enough lanes. But anyway, why couldn't
- 12:18Speaker 2: you just give us extra lanes and we don't have
- 12:20Speaker 2: to pay for it?
- 12:21Speaker 3: Why why did the tollwane signs say the other day
- 12:24Speaker 3: eleven dollars one day? I didn't understand. Why why would
- 12:27Speaker 3: you get? Is that a much of costs?
- 12:28Speaker 5: You want a why bone?
- 12:30Speaker 4: You want a why bone because nobody freaking uses it.
- 12:32Speaker 4: That's it's a good point, because it's stupid.
- 12:35Speaker 1: It's stressful though, Well he's really taking a toll on me.
- 12:38Speaker 4: Well that's that's good. And they're trying to and they're
- 12:40Speaker 4: trying to break it back down here too, which really
- 12:42Speaker 4: sucks the East. The East, I mean you have third
- 12:47Speaker 4: through ninth is separated by eight points, and you have
- 12:49Speaker 4: a lot of jockeying for position back and forth, and
- 12:52Speaker 4: Charlton in a part of their schedule where they could
- 12:55Speaker 4: be playing teams that are either around the playoff line,
- 12:58Speaker 4: but you know, again principally below them. So you got
- 13:01Speaker 4: DC on Saturday, You've got Toronto today in Toronto without
- 13:05Speaker 4: one of their big, big offensive players in Georgia Mahalavich.
- 13:09Speaker 4: This is an opportunity for Charlotte of' cee. When you
- 13:11Speaker 4: think about having to keep pace with New England who's
- 13:14Speaker 4: two points ahead of you, Chicago who's four points ahead
- 13:16Speaker 4: of you, and the two teams behind you, who with
- 13:19Speaker 4: a victory could leap frog you. There's been a lot
- 13:21Speaker 4: of jockeying for position there. But I do think that
- 13:24Speaker 4: it's going to make for a very competitive end of
- 13:26Speaker 4: the season. I think that you know, Nashville is still
- 13:29Speaker 4: on the tier above everybody else and Miami. While I
- 13:32Speaker 4: think there might be you know, a half step ahead
- 13:35Speaker 4: of the rest of the East, I don't think they're
- 13:36Speaker 4: insurmountable by any means in terms of when you play
- 13:39Speaker 4: them head to head. I don't think Cherlolt can catch Miami,
- 13:41Speaker 4: but I do think that you know, that head to
- 13:44Speaker 4: head game on decision day is going to be very
- 13:45Speaker 4: very important. Number one and number two. I wouldn't necessarily
- 13:49Speaker 4: be scared of Miami because they've been very shaky as
- 13:51Speaker 4: of late.
- 13:52Speaker 2: All Right, p Van, close it down like you always do.
- 13:56Speaker 2: Who is the uncultured swine of the week.
- 13:59Speaker 4: Yeah, I really wanted to revisit your top twenty five
- 14:01Speaker 4: Missouri slander, but I'm going to go to Penn State
- 14:04Speaker 4: because have you guys seen this story about the cocaine
- 14:08Speaker 4: ring at the fraternity house.
- 14:10Speaker 2: Hey, don't be hating on don't be hating on Pablo
- 14:13Speaker 2: Pledge Cabar and that man. That dude is a future
- 14:16Speaker 2: entrepreneur in America.
- 14:18Speaker 4: We're still doing cocaine in the year of our Lord's
- 14:21Speaker 4: twenty twenty six thirteen fraternity brothers are in jail an
- 14:26Speaker 4: alleged cocaine ring and then causing the Pledges to have
- 14:30Speaker 4: to go in and pack the cocaine themselves. And then
- 14:32Speaker 4: I hear, you know Fiddy if and he's a tennis guy.
- 14:35Speaker 4: I hear you know Nick Krio's testing positive for cocaine
- 14:39Speaker 4: and majorca.
- 14:40Speaker 5: What are we doing out here cocaine still? I mean,
- 14:43Speaker 5: come on, just you know there's other ways to get
- 14:45Speaker 5: yourself uppers if.
- 14:47Speaker 2: You will this man, Yeah, feel free to share your
- 14:51Speaker 2: list of Willie of what we should use.
- 14:53Speaker 1: What are the cocaine alternatives?
- 14:56Speaker 4: Drag a red Bull cares.
- 15:00Speaker 1: How boys are getting hided in Cocaine is back with
- 15:02Speaker 1: a coincidence.
- 15:03Speaker 4: I used to I used to know a dude who was,
- 15:05Speaker 4: uh was no straight into all this stuff, and he
