- 1:34Speaker 3: dog eating thing? Some people just think it's so nasty

- 1:39Speaker 1: I think it's appointment television every year.
- 1:41Speaker 5: I think it's great.
- 1:41Speaker 1: You know, I consider, you know, the the Nathan's Coney
- 1:46Speaker 1: Island location to be almost sort of like a pilgrimage
- 1:50Speaker 1: site for me, not necessarily a religious thing, but just
- 1:53Speaker 1: something from a food standpoint that you know, I always
- 1:56Speaker 1: love going to whenever I'm back in town and love
- 1:59Speaker 1: being over there surf city. You know, they they have
- 2:02Speaker 1: more than just hot dogs at this Nathan's. They got
- 2:04Speaker 1: all kinds of things. They got seafood, they got clam strips.
- 2:06Speaker 1: I mean, it's a it's it's a real, real great place,
- 2:11Speaker 1: and uh and I love the events and I have
- 2:12Speaker 1: no problem with it. You know, I've I've talked to
- 2:14Speaker 1: a couple of other guys who've done the event before,
- 2:17Speaker 1: including Joey, and I have to say, it's a people
- 2:20Speaker 1: who don't like it.
- 2:21Speaker 5: You just don't like America.
- 2:23Speaker 4: Oh yeah, love it.
- 2:25Speaker 3: Is there a food We have so many serious things
- 2:28Speaker 3: against you, but I can't help myself bone sorry about this.
- 2:30Speaker 3: Is there a food pee Man that you think you
- 2:33Speaker 3: could be good and competitive eating of?
- 2:36Speaker 5: I'd want to do a wing contest.
- 2:39Speaker 2: Yeah, I was kind of thinking wings too. Justin that's
- 2:42Speaker 2: done that as well. By anus record, He's got the
- 2:44Speaker 2: record for that. He's got the record for almost everything.
- 2:46Speaker 1: The one, the one that he did that I want
- 2:48Speaker 1: to do would be the Saint almost trim cocktail.
- 2:51Speaker 5: He's done that one too as well.
- 2:52Speaker 3: You'd be good at that one. You can handle that.
- 2:54Speaker 3: That's that stuff is so hot that I could.
- 2:56Speaker 2: There's no way I could win a contest or sus would.
- 3:01Speaker 5: Be another one I'd go down for.
- 3:03Speaker 3: Sign him up as our representative bone in Major League eating.
- 3:06Speaker 3: He's He's in town tonight, Willie p. We'll see Joey Chestnut.
- 3:09Speaker 3: We'll get into the return of FC here momentarily. As
- 3:13Speaker 3: far as the Panthers go.
- 3:14Speaker 2: The big news yesterday Willie that I know you covered
- 3:17Speaker 2: filling in for KB mowing out with the blood cloth.
- 3:21Speaker 2: Are you in panic mode over this or are you
- 3:24Speaker 2: more like, hey, we got some guys in place, it's
- 3:27Speaker 2: gonna be okay for a while.
- 3:29Speaker 1: Well, thank god the Panthers that got the the Panthers
- 3:34Speaker 1: got to the tackle, because that's one of those things
- 3:36Speaker 1: that when you think about it, it's a very big
- 3:39Speaker 1: security blanket to have. There's a real Freeling and I
- 3:42Speaker 1: think it's one of those things that you know they
- 3:44Speaker 1: couldn't have foreseen. Obviously they found it out in late
- 3:47Speaker 1: June from what Panthers dot Com told us, And I
- 3:50Speaker 1: think two the other part of this is that you know,
- 3:54Speaker 1: if Reeling plays well, it keep the situation where you
- 3:58Speaker 1: have solved one problem and also solved another, because I
- 4:02Speaker 1: think one of the things they said by drafting both
- 4:05Speaker 1: Freeling and Sam Heckt is that we got to get
- 4:07Speaker 1: cheaper on the offensive line. The last thing you want
- 4:09Speaker 1: to be doing is paying four out of your five
- 4:11Speaker 1: guys a big contract and not really feeling like they
- 4:15Speaker 1: are a real long term option. I mean, Damian Lewis
- 4:18Speaker 1: and Rob Hunter are both kind of a little longer
- 4:20Speaker 1: in the two more, you know, in that middle of
- 4:22Speaker 1: the prime towards the end of the prime type part
- 4:24Speaker 1: of their careers, and Ikey Ikuana isn't somebody who you
- 4:27Speaker 1: feel like you're going to give a big contract to.
- 4:29Speaker 1: Taylor Motens closer to the end of the is to
- 4:31Speaker 1: the beginning. So from that perspective, you had to get younger,
- 4:34Speaker 1: you had to get more ascending, and I think you know,
- 4:37Speaker 1: having freeling there is a nice thing to have. We
- 4:40Speaker 1: hope the best with Taylor Moten, and if he comes
- 4:42Speaker 1: back and is deble to play, it could get the
- 4:44Speaker 1: Panthers a little bit of something of an embarrassment of riches. Obviously,
- 4:47Speaker 1: the Ichy thing is its own isolated incident, but I
- 4:51Speaker 1: feel less bad about it, again before even seeing Monro
- 4:55Speaker 1: freeling play a snap, because that's obviously the biggest test.
- 4:57Speaker 1: But I feel less bad about it than I would
- 5:00Speaker 1: have if they hadn't dropped it been wrong.
- 5:01Speaker 4: That's a good way of putting it.
- 5:03Speaker 3: I've been accused of panicking of you know, yeah, I
- 5:08Speaker 3: know your shot, Bete, I know you're shot. But I've
- 5:10Speaker 3: been accused of not keeping things together and freaking out.
- 5:14Speaker 4: And I didn't really feel like I was freaking out.
- 5:15Speaker 3: I am concerned the way you phrased it right there
- 5:18Speaker 3: at the end is a very good point, and Bone's
- 5:20Speaker 3: been trying to say that to me. Just look at
- 5:21Speaker 3: it this way. At least we have Freeling. Even if
- 5:24Speaker 3: you wanted to ease him in, at least we have
- 5:27Speaker 3: a first round talent to put there. One last thing
- 5:30Speaker 3: about this before we get into FC in Atlanta and
- 5:32Speaker 3: and and the f C in the second half of
- 5:34Speaker 3: the season.
- 5:35Speaker 4: What would you.
- 5:36Speaker 3: Play Freeling at right tackle for Moten or would you
- 5:41Speaker 3: play him at left tackle and put Walker over?
- 5:43Speaker 4: How would you do that?
- 5:44Speaker 1: I put Freeling at right tackle. I keep feeling at
- 5:47Speaker 1: his stronger position, because you know, there has been a
- 5:50Speaker 1: desire to try feeling out at both. He kind of
- 5:53Speaker 1: did that during Mini camp and so, you know, kind
- 5:55Speaker 1: of cross training at both.
- 5:57Speaker 5: I think that's the best way to make it work.
- 5:59Speaker 5: You know. I understand that you might want to see
- 6:01Speaker 5: what the future of the left.
- 6:02Speaker 1: Tackle position is by throwing him into the fire right away.
- 6:05Speaker 1: But I think it's easier for him to learn at
- 6:07Speaker 1: right tackle than it would be to go to left
- 6:10Speaker 1: because as we saw in the Taylor Moton experiment, you know,
- 6:12Speaker 1: it's one of those things where you know when it
- 6:15Speaker 1: comes down to it. You have to have the skill
- 6:17Speaker 1: set to be able to play both if you're going
- 6:19Speaker 1: to be asked to do both. And we knew that
- 6:21Speaker 1: the Taylor was so intrinsit right tackle without really any
- 6:24Speaker 1: left tackle experience that when he tried to do the
- 6:26Speaker 1: other side, it didn't go well.
- 6:28Speaker 5: So we already know that.
- 6:29Speaker 1: I think Monroe Felan can play left tackle. I think
- 6:31Speaker 1: you want to see if he can play right so
- 6:33Speaker 1: that you know kind of where your future is. Because
- 6:35Speaker 1: if Monroe fielding solves one problem with Taylor Mowans's firing contract,
- 6:39Speaker 1: you can go back in the draft next year, get
- 6:41Speaker 1: another left tackle so that you're once again younger at
- 6:43Speaker 1: the position and you have yourself ready to really be
- 6:47Speaker 1: a force and keep right. Shown upright, Willie.
- 6:50Speaker 2: With SC's return to action tonight, how long do you
- 6:54Speaker 2: think it will be after this wayoff for the team
- 6:57Speaker 2: to really get back into a rhythm as if they
- 6:59Speaker 2: were playing gear games in a row.
- 7:03Speaker 1: Well, we've seen some teams with some weird results coming
- 7:06Speaker 1: out of the gate here in the second half. Pone Portland,
- 7:09Speaker 1: who was a team that you know very much was
- 7:13Speaker 1: all or not and not somebody who you would say
- 7:15Speaker 1: is a strong power be one of the best teams
- 7:17Speaker 1: in the Western Conference out of the gate in Seattle Sounders.
- 7:19Speaker 1: Now that's a rivalry match much like this one, so
- 7:22Speaker 1: it kind of gives a little bit of that same
- 7:24Speaker 1: trepidation for Dean Smith. He named checked that match during
- 7:28Speaker 1: his press conference with us and said, look, you know,
- 7:31Speaker 1: seeing that result, that's something that we have to be
- 7:33Speaker 1: wary of as the club to not let our guard
- 7:36Speaker 1: down and not take this Atlanta team seriously. The other thing, too,
- 7:40Speaker 1: is that you are going to get a lot of
- 7:42Speaker 1: games in a short amount of time. You're going to
- 7:44Speaker 1: play three games and seven days. Basically, you're going to
- 7:47Speaker 1: play Wednesday Saturday and then three three games in a
- 7:50Speaker 1: seven days Wednesday, Saturday and Saturday, and then some guys
- 7:53Speaker 1: are going to have also the All Star Game too.
- 7:55Speaker 1: So this part of it is I think, very very
- 7:57Speaker 1: challenging from Charlotto's He's perspective, I think too, you come
- 8:01Speaker 1: out of it with the confidence that you went in
- 8:03Speaker 1: one back to bad games. In the two games after
- 8:06Speaker 1: right before the break, you come back relatively healthy. I
- 8:09Speaker 1: know that there's a couple of guys kind of nursing
- 8:11Speaker 1: some Knox with Eaton Toklamani and Nathan Byrne not getting
- 8:14Speaker 1: back to full training until Monday. But I like where
- 8:17Speaker 1: they're at. I'd like him a lot better if they
- 8:19Speaker 1: had Alex Date Maximan available tonight. But once he gets
- 8:21Speaker 1: himself entrenched and gets his visa over the line, I
- 8:25Speaker 1: think charlottough C's gonna be primed to hit the ground running.
- 8:28Speaker 3: Are you worried about the again? I like Atlanta. They've struggled.
- 8:32Speaker 3: I hear your warning, but it feels like an opportunity
- 8:35Speaker 3: to get three points if they play well. Are you
- 8:38Speaker 3: worried though about the fact Max He's not ready yet,
- 8:41Speaker 3: Zaha's gone, Like are you worried about the attack component
- 8:45Speaker 3: with this wing situation?
- 8:47Speaker 1: I mean Pet Biela is still alive and kicking, so
- 8:49Speaker 1: that there is there is that part of it. Carowin
- 8:52Speaker 1: Bargas looks very very good in the scrimmage. From what
- 8:54Speaker 1: Dean Smith told us, he scored a goal and what
- 8:56Speaker 1: was a three two victory over Austin. I finally did
- 8:59Speaker 1: weasel that out of him yesterday when we talked on
- 9:01Speaker 1: the air. Got the top secret result that closed door
- 9:06Speaker 1: friendly and Austin.
- 9:07Speaker 5: Archie Goodwin scored two goals as well too, So.
- 9:10Speaker 1: Somebody who was once again kind of threatening to be
- 9:12Speaker 1: a part of the starting lineup potentially with with Charlott FC.
- 9:15Speaker 5: I don't think the.
- 9:16Speaker 1: Attack is in that much trouble with those two guys
- 9:20Speaker 1: at the helmet and not necessarily worried about not having
- 9:23Speaker 1: a Zaha against this team, This Atlanta team, you want
- 9:26Speaker 1: to talk about a team that's got underperforming DPS. Miguel
- 9:29Speaker 1: Almaron is not scored in the calendar year of twenty
- 9:31Speaker 1: twenty six. He had and he has got three assists.
- 9:35Speaker 1: All of them came in one game back in March.
- 9:37Speaker 1: Emmanuel Latte lost the largest incoming transfer in MLS history,
- 9:42Speaker 1: is coming off the bench, and Alexey Moranto is being
- 9:45Speaker 1: made to play out of position. So if you're talking
- 9:47Speaker 1: about a team that is primed for Charlotto Seeds to
- 9:50Speaker 1: take advantage of, it's this Atlanta side. He can't let
- 9:53Speaker 1: them have too much of the ball because they are
- 9:55Speaker 1: a team that is the nice best possession team in
- 9:57Speaker 1: the league. So Charlotte cannot afford to be offering against
- 10:00Speaker 1: this team. They have to come and dictate the terms.
- 10:03Speaker 1: Use the home crowd, take your chances, make sure that
- 10:06Speaker 1: you put this game to bed early. Don't let it
- 10:07Speaker 1: Lanta hang around and hopefully you're in and out befill
- 10:09Speaker 1: the rain comes night.
- 10:10Speaker 5: I like it.
- 10:11Speaker 2: Oh shoot rain, Yeah. Don't don't play with your food tonight.
- 10:14Speaker 2: It's a Joey chestnut right. Fitdy will not play with
- 10:17Speaker 2: his food.
- 10:18Speaker 3: He will get fifteen one dollar hot dogs tonight and
- 10:21Speaker 3: eat them all.
- 10:21Speaker 4: I have a feeling you really.
- 10:24Speaker 1: Share after I encouraged him to go to the game
- 10:27Speaker 1: so crazily that he finally accepted free ticket to what
- 10:30Speaker 1: an American hero.
- 10:31Speaker 2: We're going, baby, We're doing American American. You called him
- 10:35Speaker 2: fit a Razzi when we came on. Do you you
- 10:39Speaker 2: have a problem with Fitty this week?
- 10:41Speaker 1: Well, he shared some personal business of mine on the
- 10:44Speaker 1: air with you guys without my permission, and I'm I'm
- 10:47Speaker 1: a little upset about that.
- 10:49Speaker 3: I feel like this happens weekly. I feel like Fiddy
- 10:52Speaker 3: oversteps his boundaries to him.
- 10:55Speaker 4: That is true. Why do you share stuff?
- 10:58Speaker 5: I'm very tempted?
- 11:00Speaker 4: Do you have I won't to apologize for sharing this.
- 11:03Speaker 4: I state my regret. Actually, I don't regret anything.
- 11:08Speaker 3: Will anything that you text me cannon will be used
- 11:12Speaker 3: against you in the court of Mack and Bone.
- 11:16Speaker 2: Yeah, that definitely won the apology. He didn't want it
- 11:18Speaker 2: out there that he's buying a house, and he put
- 11:20Speaker 2: it out there. Now you're in trouble, Pete.
- 11:21Speaker 3: There is the most popular question you're being asked today
- 11:26Speaker 3: is why are you out of breath? People think you
- 11:28Speaker 3: sound Someone thinks you're on a treadmill. Another guy thinks
- 11:32Speaker 3: you're out in the neighborhood for a job.
- 11:33Speaker 4: Your throat coating? Is there your throat? Is there something
- 11:36Speaker 4: going on that we need to know about, Pete.
- 11:39Speaker 1: I'm just trying to declutter my house because of the
- 11:43Speaker 1: aforementioned news that that Putty unfortunately shared with the audience.
- 11:49Speaker 4: Are we allowed to tell everybody now or no?
- 11:52Speaker 1: Well, I mean again, I'm in the process of transitioning
- 11:56Speaker 1: my housing situation.
- 12:00Speaker 4: All right, we got you gotta give Fitty your new address.
- 12:04Speaker 5: I didn't give him my first address. I want to
- 12:05Speaker 5: give him this.
- 12:07Speaker 3: No Mets viewing parties at the second house either, apparently.
- 12:11Speaker 4: Oh my goodness. All right, brother, Hey, good for you guys.
