WEBVTT - Mac & Bone Hour 4: Willie P & Moose Johnston 0:00:07.960 --> 0:00:11.799 Allow me to reintroduce myself, my name is I'm Will Pelagic. 0:00:14.050 --> 0:00:17.770 All right, it's about time for the P-Man, baby. Willie's World, 0:00:17.810 --> 0:00:20.689 we're just living in it, getting ready to talk. Hornets 0:00:20.770 --> 0:00:24.669 season outlook, FC coming down the home stretch in a 0:00:24.690 --> 0:00:25.290 regular season. 0:00:25.310 --> 0:00:26.990 They played an absolute classic. 0:00:27.030 --> 0:00:31.540 They played 50 times better against Philly, and there's no 0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:34.000 shame in a draw in that game. Those were two 0:00:34.520 --> 0:00:37.080 real good MLS sides going at it, and I'm sure 0:00:37.100 --> 0:00:39.800 we'll talk Panthers, although as Bone pointed out, we got 0:00:39.820 --> 0:00:41.940 his Wegmans review we got to get to. He went 0:00:41.979 --> 0:00:45.400 to the Ballantyne Wegmans yesterday. He got photographed in line, 0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:47.860 I think, by somebody yesterday. There was a Willie spotting. 0:00:48.380 --> 0:00:50.720 It was like he was in a Groucho Marx disguise 0:00:50.740 --> 0:00:51.180 of some sort. 0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:52.190 I don't know what was going on there. I think 0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:55.350 they caught him in Cookie Land at Wegmans. And you 0:00:55.390 --> 0:01:00.810 know his cheese comments last week have just reverberated around 0:01:00.890 --> 0:01:02.910 Charlotte Bone for about five days. 0:01:03.150 --> 0:01:05.869 It was the talk of our client seminar. It was. 0:01:06.050 --> 0:01:06.490 It was. 0:01:06.650 --> 0:01:09.340 On Tuesday. So the P-Man is here, baby. Willie P. 0:01:09.380 --> 0:01:12.240 Will Pelagic joining us, as always, in this spot. Willie, 0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:13.020 what's going on, man? 0:01:14.330 --> 0:01:14.869 Morning, guys. 0:01:15.069 --> 0:01:15.569 Morning, guys. 0:01:15.610 --> 0:01:15.919 How are you? 0:01:16.209 --> 0:01:16.850 What's up, Willie? 0:01:16.910 --> 0:01:20.280 Doing good, brother. So what did you think of the Wegmans, man? 0:01:20.330 --> 0:01:22.580 Did it meet all your expectations? 0:01:23.540 --> 0:01:26.360 Well, you know, it had been forever since I'd been 0:01:26.380 --> 0:01:29.460 to a Wegmans. I don't know if I had adequately 0:01:29.500 --> 0:01:33.039 prepared myself for what I was going to experience because 0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:34.600 I was on a bit of a time crunch when 0:01:34.620 --> 0:01:38.080 I went. And I realized I need to afford myself 0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:41.360 more time because it is still like– it's like one-in-one 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:43.900 out at the club over there. I mean, it's still– 0:01:45.230 --> 0:01:49.050 a highly concentrated amount of people. So for those who 0:01:49.090 --> 0:01:51.370 are maybe worried about it being, if you don't have 0:01:51.390 --> 0:01:54.130 a high tolerance for overcrowding or if you, as I 0:01:54.150 --> 0:01:57.510 said on Twitter, claustrophobe easily, probably not for you yet. 0:01:57.570 --> 0:02:00.450 Probably want to wait a little while. But I will 0:02:00.500 --> 0:02:02.940 say it was everything that I remember it to be 0:02:02.980 --> 0:02:05.640 when it comes to the prepared foods. It's organized a 0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:08.100 little differently than the Wegmans I've been to in the past. 0:02:08.590 --> 0:02:11.750 You have, like, you know, I would say four, maybe 0:02:11.810 --> 0:02:14.540 two-fifths of the grocery store. It looks like any other 0:02:14.580 --> 0:02:16.600 grocery store you've ever been in, whether it's a Publix 0:02:16.660 --> 0:02:20.860 or a Food Lion or a Teeter. But, you know, 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:23.929 when you go basically over to the right side, that's where, like, 0:02:24.090 --> 0:02:26.810 all the prepared foods are, like your fresh meat, your 0:02:26.850 --> 0:02:30.950 fresh chicken, your fresh cheeses. They got pizza. They got sushi. 0:02:30.970 --> 0:02:31.680 They got subs. 0:02:31.690 --> 0:02:32.070 They got everything. 0:02:32.330 --> 0:02:34.500 The, the gold pan meals. And then they got an 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:36.400 area where you could just like order, like you're at 0:02:36.419 --> 0:02:40.540 a restaurant and, and eat there. So it's, uh, people 0:02:40.620 --> 0:02:43.480 ask me what makes Wegmans so different. It's, it's the 0:02:43.540 --> 0:02:47.270 high proliferation and plethora of ready to eat and ready 0:02:47.310 --> 0:02:49.730 to cook options that are literally just in the pan 0:02:50.050 --> 0:02:51.250 and you throw it in the oven or you throw 0:02:51.270 --> 0:02:54.530 in the microwave that that's what makes them differentiates them over, 0:02:54.889 --> 0:02:57.350 you know, your other grocery store. I don't know if 0:02:57.389 --> 0:02:59.680 I'm going to use necessarily for, you know, every week, 0:02:59.700 --> 0:03:02.010 but like, It's right on the way back home from 0:03:02.050 --> 0:03:05.609 when I go to the Charlotte OC facility. So, like, 0:03:06.110 --> 0:03:08.010 if I'm sitting there and I need to, you know, 0:03:08.230 --> 0:03:10.730 think of a quick dinner plan, I might pop in 0:03:10.750 --> 0:03:12.330 there and say, hey, you know what, I'll pick up 0:03:12.370 --> 0:03:14.450 a gold pan meal, maybe a sub or two, and 0:03:15.150 --> 0:03:15.890 get it going. 0:03:16.790 --> 0:03:20.169 Willie, what was the photo situation? Someone took a photo 0:03:20.230 --> 0:03:22.950 of you in line, or what was that yesterday? 0:03:23.889 --> 0:03:28.350 Fan guy Dave caught me in the bakery portion of the– 0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:31.180 of the store they have this area called uh... they 0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:33.079 i mean they have all these kind of like funky 0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:36.300 names for all their own prepared food areas and uh... 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:38.400 the where they have the cookies is called cookie land 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:40.820 and so uh... my wife had mentioned to me you 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:43.040 know hey did you pick up uh... something from the 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:45.120 bakery if you see something that looks good and so 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:48.020 i was caught with literally my hand in cookie land uh. 0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:52.500 That should be a contest, Mac. 0:03:52.540 --> 0:03:54.520 We should have prizes for those that find Willie in 0:03:54.540 --> 0:03:54.980 the wild. 0:03:55.980 --> 0:03:56.520 So true. 0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:59.740 Now, P-Man, before we get to the Hornets starting their 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:02.590 season up and Charlotte FC, it needs to be pointed 0:04:02.750 --> 0:04:06.410 out that there is some backlash right now towards Wegmans 0:04:06.610 --> 0:04:09.530 and Willie. And the man is just simply answering the 0:04:09.590 --> 0:04:11.710 question we asked him, which is, what. 0:04:11.630 --> 0:04:13.790 Did you think of the new Wegmans? Why are they 0:04:13.810 --> 0:04:15.050 mad at Willie? Let's see. 0:04:15.130 --> 0:04:18.760 This guy says, Willie makes me hate Wegmans for some reason. 0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:24.520 JP in Morrisville. Oh, my gosh. Willie sucks so bad. 0:04:25.420 --> 0:04:28.290 Then you have Salesman that wants to know if Willie 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:31.169 was blown away by the chip dip and hot dog 0:04:31.210 --> 0:04:33.370 taste of Western New York display. 0:04:35.460 --> 0:04:39.240 I saw the Western New York display. I did not 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:42.740 go for the chips and or dips. You can buy 0:04:42.779 --> 0:04:45.850 those Salen's hot dogs, those Hoppin' hot dogs in, you know, 0:04:45.890 --> 0:04:49.450 public or theater. So, like, I wasn't necessarily, you know, 0:04:49.550 --> 0:04:52.969 surprised by those things. They have other, you know, Western 0:04:53.029 --> 0:04:55.570 and Central New York delicacies that are up there. I 0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:59.589 did buy the Boss sauce. It kind of is similar 0:04:59.670 --> 0:05:04.110 to a buffalo, almost kind of like a buffalo slash 0:05:04.170 --> 0:05:08.610 barbecue sauce, which I tried last night. It's all right. 0:05:08.690 --> 0:05:10.489 I mean, I wouldn't say I put it on everything, 0:05:10.550 --> 0:05:14.250 but it was all right. I would say this. The 0:05:14.300 --> 0:05:16.140 way that it looks in the package, I thought it 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:19.150 was going to be more– I thought it was going 0:05:19.170 --> 0:05:21.710 to be thicker, but it actually is more liquidy than 0:05:21.910 --> 0:05:22.589 anything else. 0:05:23.210 --> 0:05:27.170 Okay, there you go. Less thicker, more liquidy. That's your 0:05:27.589 --> 0:05:28.770 boss sauce review. 0:05:29.510 --> 0:05:31.630 Hornets get going tonight. You're going to have the postgame 0:05:31.670 --> 0:05:36.980 shows here on WFNZ all season. The over-under win total, 39.5. 0:05:36.980 --> 0:05:40.540 What's your expectations of that total, and do you expect 0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:42.680 to go over, under? What are you thinking for this team? 0:05:43.890 --> 0:05:46.830 I think slightly over is probably what I would think, 0:05:47.050 --> 0:05:49.909 somewhere in that 40 to 41 range. Would I be 0:05:49.950 --> 0:05:53.830 shocked if it went under? No, because look, and I 0:05:53.890 --> 0:05:57.100 hear a lot of the angst, and it's hard for 0:05:57.140 --> 0:05:59.080 me not to share in a little bit of the angst, 0:05:59.140 --> 0:06:03.460 because I really loved the way this team looked as 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:07.179 constituted a year ago. Now, running it all the way back, 0:06:07.779 --> 0:06:09.440 I don't know if necessarily that was something I'd be 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:12.810 on board with, but You did take away, and I 0:06:12.870 --> 0:06:14.270 said this last week when I was on the air, 0:06:14.630 --> 0:06:16.640 a lot of Hornets fans felt like they took away 0:06:16.700 --> 0:06:20.640 the soul of the team when you ended up jettisoning Lomelo. Now, 0:06:21.660 --> 0:06:23.940 I can understand, and I will see the forest for 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:26.220 the trees. I understand that this is part of a 0:06:26.260 --> 0:06:31.250 larger plan, and I can juxtapose my disappointment with them 0:06:31.270 --> 0:06:35.150 getting rid of Lomelo with the long-term plan of, hey, 0:06:35.490 --> 0:06:38.770 we have assets. It probably is a more. 0:06:40.620 --> 0:06:42.880 I would say you have a higher chance of building 0:06:42.940 --> 0:06:48.540 something more sustainable around Brandon, Khan, and a superstar to 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:51.420 be named later, and you have the assets collected to 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:54.979 be able to do so. However, I think, you know, 0:06:55.500 --> 0:06:57.800 acting like this team is going to be appreciably better 0:06:57.839 --> 0:07:00.680 in the short term is probably not realistic, and I 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:03.099 think that's where the fan base was. It's like you're 0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:05.320 sitting in a restaurant, and you've been waiting for your 0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:07.780 food for the longest time. You've got a little bit 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:11.180 of an amuse-bouche with the– with the play-in game, a 0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:13.500 little bit of an appetizer, and you're seeing all these 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:16.620 other tables get served. All these other tables getting served. 0:07:17.770 --> 0:07:20.590 And you're sitting there saying, where is my damn steak? 0:07:21.190 --> 0:07:21.810 That's kind of. 0:07:21.790 --> 0:07:23.530 Where Hornets fans are right now. And you're telling me 0:07:23.550 --> 0:07:25.730 I have to wait longer for more of that steak? 0:07:25.790 --> 0:07:27.790 So I think that's That's where they're at, and I 0:07:27.980 --> 0:07:30.440 don't blame fans for feeling that way because you feel 0:07:30.460 --> 0:07:32.760 like you at least felt like your meal was coming 0:07:33.140 --> 0:07:34.920 and being told you had to wait a little bit longer. 0:07:35.020 --> 0:07:36.980 And I understand that that's a frustration. 0:07:38.180 --> 0:07:42.080 What an amazing amuse-bouche that we had last season, Bone, 0:07:42.100 --> 0:07:42.960 with that hot stretch. 0:07:44.220 --> 0:07:45.080 It was amusing. 0:07:45.380 --> 0:07:46.800 It was amusing. 0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:49.640 It was amusing. I love it, man. 0:07:49.660 --> 0:07:53.250 I will say at Wegmans, they have literally a section 0:07:53.260 --> 0:07:54.440 that just says charcuterie. 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:57.100 This place is made for you. That is your heaven. 0:07:57.120 --> 0:07:59.020 This is made for you, man. Remember that movie, Matt, 0:07:59.050 --> 0:08:00.010 that just came out? 0:08:00.030 --> 0:08:04.350 The story, the true story where it happened here, where 0:08:04.450 --> 0:08:07.150 Channing Tatum, the character, moved into the Toys R Us store? 0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:08.180 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. 0:08:08.210 --> 0:08:10.060 People think Willie has moved into Wegmans. 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:13.920 He's living in the back. That's hilarious. 0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:18.220 All right, Willie P is with us. It's Willie's World, y'all. P-Man, 0:08:18.260 --> 0:08:22.360 we got to talk about Charlotte FC. God, that match 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:26.060 was amazing on Saturday. I mean, do I wish when 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:28.620 they came back from 1-0 down, got the 2-1 lead 0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:30.930 with two brilliant goals, do I wish they would have 0:08:30.940 --> 0:08:31.360 finished it? 0:08:31.370 --> 0:08:31.690 Yeah. 0:08:32.030 --> 0:08:33.970 But Philly's the hottest damn team in the league. There 0:08:33.990 --> 0:08:36.670 ain't no shame in going to their house and drawing. 0:08:36.950 --> 0:08:39.350 And the goal they scored on was pretty amazing with 0:08:39.390 --> 0:08:44.750 the intricate passing. That felt like a playoff game. and 0:08:45.170 --> 0:08:47.010 it's something that could be a part of a great 0:08:47.130 --> 0:08:50.730 playoff match or series. What did you think of that performance? 0:08:51.750 --> 0:08:54.160 Far be it for me to delve into the mode 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:56.520 that I usually get on where I get angry at 0:08:56.540 --> 0:08:58.560 the refs. I just want to ask your opinion, Mac. 0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:00.520 What did you think of the handball call? 0:09:02.510 --> 0:09:05.340 The handball call. Why am I not remembering the hand? Oh, 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:06.920 the initial for their penalty. 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:08.819 Yeah, I hated it. I hated it. 0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:11.780 I thought he was trying to keep the arms close 0:09:11.820 --> 0:09:13.640 to the body, although he did turn. 0:09:13.950 --> 0:09:15.630 But he was trying to keep them in. 0:09:15.830 --> 0:09:18.010 What is he supposed to do with his hands? Pep 0:09:18.030 --> 0:09:20.830 Biel is trying to protect the moneymaker, man. What the 0:09:20.870 --> 0:09:22.650 heck else is he supposed to do with his hands? 0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:25.240 when he's trying to protect his face. He doesn't want 0:09:25.260 --> 0:09:27.880 to get hit in the face like Morrison did later 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:28.460 in the match. 0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:30.780 He was not trying to make himself bigger, and the 0:09:30.820 --> 0:09:36.260 ball came off a bird. That made me mad, but 0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:38.420 I was very happy with the way that they, again, 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:41.460 as they have a lot of times this season, stayed resilient. 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:44.439 They came out like gangbusters in the second half. Rodolfo 0:09:44.460 --> 0:09:47.470 Loco gets the reward after the start, gets a really 0:09:47.510 --> 0:09:50.330 nice goal to get them back in it and equalize. 0:09:51.230 --> 0:09:54.100 And what more can we say about Idan Toklamati? What 0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:56.400 a sublime header on a ball that was put on 0:09:56.420 --> 0:09:58.530 a platter from David Schnegg. I'm going to ask David Schnegg. 0:09:58.550 --> 0:10:01.360 I'm going to talk to him later today. after training 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:03.340 for our pregame interview this weekend. I'm going to ask him, 0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:06.439 has he served a better ball than that? Because I 0:10:06.500 --> 0:10:08.860 can't think of one that I've seen that's been prettier 0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:10.680 from him than that, aside from the one that he 0:10:10.700 --> 0:10:12.560 scored for the goal against us in the Open Cup 0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:16.380 last year. I'll leave that one aside. But I think 0:10:16.450 --> 0:10:18.809 it's one of those things where– This team is able 0:10:18.850 --> 0:10:21.390 to score goals in bunches, which is something you could 0:10:21.429 --> 0:10:24.070 never have said about them. I think the biggest key is, 0:10:24.309 --> 0:10:27.390 can they be sound enough defensively and not switch off 0:10:27.429 --> 0:10:30.130 in certain moments to be able to keep themselves in 0:10:30.170 --> 0:10:32.090 games of this nature? I thought it was a great 0:10:32.130 --> 0:10:33.929 litmus test against a team you know is going to 0:10:33.950 --> 0:10:37.500 be in the playoffs. And I think they've taken on 0:10:37.540 --> 0:10:40.280 basically all comers among the playoff teams not named Chicago. 0:10:41.140 --> 0:10:44.350 I'm very, very enticed by what we can see here 0:10:44.650 --> 0:10:48.490 down the stretch. Winnable game Saturday in Portland. If you 0:10:48.510 --> 0:10:52.640 win this game, you're in the playoffs officially. Portland is a– 0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:57.480 I've looked at their roster, Mac. It's an MLS clearinghouse of, oh, 0:10:57.520 --> 0:11:02.380 that guy is there now? So, I mean, they've jettisoned 0:11:02.420 --> 0:11:04.420 a lot of talent. A lot of their best talent 0:11:04.450 --> 0:11:07.050 has gone to Europe or South America. This is one 0:11:07.070 --> 0:11:09.949 Charlotte FC, it's a got-to-have game. It's a got-to-have game. 0:11:09.970 --> 0:11:12.630 Got to get something out of this match. I would say, again, 0:11:13.210 --> 0:11:15.229 nothing less than a draw is acceptable, I think, in 0:11:15.270 --> 0:11:18.650 this match. I would say even a win should be 0:11:18.690 --> 0:11:19.670 expected on Saturday. 0:11:19.890 --> 0:11:22.130 Willie, from where this team was a year ago at 0:11:22.170 --> 0:11:24.590 this point to where they are now, how do they 0:11:24.670 --> 0:11:28.630 compare this year to last year entering the postseason? 0:11:29.450 --> 0:11:32.010 I think it's different. I think they're playing cohesively better. 0:11:32.660 --> 0:11:34.439 I think they had a lot of talent last year 0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:36.920 when you think about Zaha, when you think about the 0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:39.660 way the pieces fit together, but I think now it 0:11:39.700 --> 0:11:43.020 feels like they are a lot more harmonious when it 0:11:43.059 --> 0:11:45.580 comes to when they possess, and I think they have 0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:48.580 a quick strike ability that they haven't had. I think 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:50.420 there's a lot more depth on this team that Dean 0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:53.199 Smith can go to, and that's personified with a guy 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:55.250 like Aloko being able to come off the bench in 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:58.130 normal situations, or Arbata when he's on the bench, I 0:11:58.150 --> 0:12:00.210 think that he's become a lot more of a threatening player. 0:12:00.710 --> 0:12:02.830 And you've got also guys in the midfield who can 0:12:02.850 --> 0:12:05.090 change the game as well. I think the real secret weapon, 0:12:05.610 --> 0:12:09.060 when he gets his visa sorted out, is Abdullahi Decore, 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:14.439 the guy they signed during the free agency period. If 0:12:14.460 --> 0:12:15.940 they can get him up to speed and get him 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:18.850 up to match fitness... He brings quality in the midfield, 0:12:18.890 --> 0:12:22.410 and he brings somebody who, while not necessarily a like-for-like 0:12:22.450 --> 0:12:25.610 with Pep Biel, he brings a creation ability off the 0:12:25.630 --> 0:12:28.470 bench or potentially next to Pep Biel if you want 0:12:28.490 --> 0:12:31.370 to employ him that way. But Charlottesville just has not 0:12:31.429 --> 0:12:35.270 had in that box-to-box midfield position. So I feel like 0:12:35.309 --> 0:12:38.310 he could be, you know, when teams used to go 0:12:38.350 --> 0:12:41.510 and trade for, like, Matt Stairs off the bench and 0:12:41.550 --> 0:12:43.110 get him, and all he would do is just hit 0:12:43.190 --> 0:12:44.700 nukes for teams that were. 0:12:44.620 --> 0:12:45.240 In the playoffs. 0:12:45.650 --> 0:12:48.030 That's basically what Abdullahi Decore can do. He can just 0:12:48.090 --> 0:12:51.209 come in and just be a shopwrecker when it comes 0:12:51.250 --> 0:12:55.309 to the attacking midfield going in. So I'm very, very, very, 0:12:55.350 --> 0:12:59.510 very appetized by what could happen with Abdullahi Decore if 0:12:59.550 --> 0:13:01.090 he can get himself up to speed, get his feet 0:13:01.130 --> 0:13:01.590 over the line. 0:13:01.710 --> 0:13:03.730 I got to tell you, that's the first Matt Stairs 0:13:03.790 --> 0:13:05.489 reference in a while. There you go. He worked in 0:13:05.530 --> 0:13:07.730 a Matt Stairs. Matt Stairs had the body of a bowler. 0:13:07.910 --> 0:13:10.640 And a moose boosh. I think that's what it was. 0:13:10.660 --> 0:13:12.079 Is that what it was? He worked both of those 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:14.180 things in. You don't get that from any other radio 0:13:14.220 --> 0:13:16.300 guy in America. Why are people so cranky towards the 0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:18.800 P-Man today? What are they mad about? What are they 0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:19.680 mad about now? 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:21.500 What have I done to cause. 0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:24.600 I'm asking today because I don't know what you did today. 0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:27.450 I've met fans where they are with the Lomelo thing. 0:13:27.870 --> 0:13:32.090 I gave you recommendations on the grocery store. Do I 100% 0:13:32.090 --> 0:13:33.209 buy into the Wegmans hype? 0:13:33.370 --> 0:13:33.570 No. 0:13:33.730 --> 0:13:34.609 It's still too crowded for me. 0:13:34.610 --> 0:13:35.410 I ain't going to go back. 0:13:35.290 --> 0:13:35.790 For another month. 0:13:36.170 --> 0:13:37.330 They think you're being snooty today. 0:13:37.350 --> 0:13:38.290 I can see why people like it. 0:13:38.590 --> 0:13:40.730 I can see people liked it i i have noticed 0:13:40.910 --> 0:13:45.890 a lot of the backlash is anti-yankee backlash we've gotten 0:13:45.910 --> 0:13:50.130 uh go back to buffalo wegmans lovers we've gotten i 0:13:50.210 --> 0:13:54.130 call wegmans yankee hell like so that's what it is 0:13:54.250 --> 0:13:56.679 is it's that it's seen as this northern thing for 0:13:56.760 --> 0:13:59.420 northern folks um whether you like it or not we're 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:01.720 a melting pot with a lot of northern folks down 0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:03.220 here i'm guessing most don't like it. 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:10.260 Here's the thing. I didn't know until literally now that 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:13.980 Wegmans was a Rochester, New York thing. The only reason 0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:16.040 I knew about it is because they were in D.C. 0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:18.620 when I grew up. I've told the story on the 0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:21.870 air before. There was one right outside where the team 0:14:21.930 --> 0:14:25.830 formerly known as the Washington football team used to practice. And, 0:14:26.750 --> 0:14:29.030 and they basically, whenever I was covering the team in DC, 0:14:29.450 --> 0:14:31.830 I'd stop by there. It was obviously not as crowded 0:14:31.870 --> 0:14:33.870 as the one here in Ballantyne, but I'd stop in, 0:14:33.930 --> 0:14:36.390 I'd get a sandwich. Maybe I get a gold pan 0:14:36.430 --> 0:14:38.630 meal for later, you know, after I was getting home 0:14:38.650 --> 0:14:39.200 from practice. 0:14:39.220 --> 0:14:41.660 So like it, it, It's got its good things. 0:14:41.740 --> 0:14:43.660 It's got its good things. Am I probably still going 0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:46.200 to be a Publix or a Teeter man most days? Yes. 0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:49.620 There you go. There you go, baby. There you go. 0:14:49.700 --> 0:14:52.840 Kevin wants to know if the P in P-Man stands 0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:53.580 for pretentious. 0:14:53.620 --> 0:14:54.100 Oh, no. 0:14:55.000 --> 0:15:01.420 Picante says Wegmans is the GOAT. Let's see here. CLTfan 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:03.960 points out, is this true? He says there's an open 0:15:04.020 --> 0:15:05.010 training session today. P? 0:15:05.940 --> 0:15:06.400 There is. 0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:06.820 Nice. 0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:10.570 Training is actually open today at Matthews Sportsplex. Thank you 0:15:10.590 --> 0:15:12.910 for reminding me. I was going to promote that, Max. 0:15:12.950 --> 0:15:17.260 But 10 o'clock over at Matthews Sportsplex, I think they're 0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:19.780 giving away a free Krispy Kreme donut when you go 0:15:19.820 --> 0:15:24.430 inside the building. They're training today from about 10 a.m. until... 0:15:24.750 --> 0:15:27.770 It's about 1130. I think the players are going to sign, too, 0:15:27.850 --> 0:15:30.510 afterwards as well. So if you've got a free morning, 0:15:30.550 --> 0:15:34.730 if you're hanging around the Matthews area, come by and 0:15:34.770 --> 0:15:37.250 see them train ahead of their game against Portland. 0:15:37.730 --> 0:15:39.560 All right, man. All right. I thought that was it. 0:15:39.570 --> 0:15:41.890 You got a swine today, Willie? 0:15:41.910 --> 0:15:46.880 The Eagles. Can anybody believe that the Eagles actually did 0:15:47.140 --> 0:15:50.780 the right due diligence when it comes to Jalen Hurts? Like, 0:15:51.140 --> 0:15:54.390 when there's reports, and I know these 11 laws are exaggerated, 0:15:54.430 --> 0:15:56.550 but when there's reports about them telling him to basically 0:15:56.590 --> 0:15:59.250 stay away for 36 hours and then play a football 0:15:59.290 --> 0:16:03.710 game and then fly him transcontinental with a blood clot, 0:16:04.330 --> 0:16:06.910 anybody who knows anything about planes and what happens when 0:16:06.930 --> 0:16:09.410 you're in the air, if you're dealing with something as 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:13.200 compromising as a blood clot, like, is anybody thinking that 0:16:13.220 --> 0:16:15.940 they did him right here? Because if I'm Jalen Hurts, 0:16:16.520 --> 0:16:19.340 I'm getting out my– lawyer and suing the heck out 0:16:19.380 --> 0:16:19.560 of them. 0:16:19.820 --> 0:16:20.640 They did not. 0:16:20.580 --> 0:16:21.060 Do him right. 0:16:21.140 --> 0:16:23.200 And I'm so glad the NFL tried to cut to 0:16:23.220 --> 0:16:25.350 the chase and just kind of bury this thing with 0:16:25.370 --> 0:16:28.710 their press conference. The NFLPA said, oh, no, you don't, 0:16:29.070 --> 0:16:30.730 and put out a statement saying there should be a 0:16:30.770 --> 0:16:32.790 full investigation because you're right. 0:16:32.830 --> 0:16:35.150 This does not. This just smells wrong, bro. 0:16:36.110 --> 0:16:38.110 I do not believe them as far as I can 0:16:38.150 --> 0:16:38.550 throw them. 0:16:38.570 --> 0:16:43.160 No, not at all, man. Not very far. Not at all. P-Man, 0:16:43.500 --> 0:16:46.420 you rock, baby. Way to bring the intensity and passion. 0:16:46.460 --> 0:16:49.820 Listen to P-Man and Anna, 10 o'clock on Saturday night 0:16:49.860 --> 0:16:52.940 for the 10.30 late start out in Portland. 0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:55.960 You get a little late night pee on Saturday night. 0:16:55.980 --> 0:16:57.080 Good job, brother. 0:16:58.800 --> 0:17:00.440 If I could say so, this probably was like a 0:17:00.460 --> 0:17:02.600 top five appearance. So people are angry about it. You know, 0:17:02.620 --> 0:17:03.000 kick rocks. 0:17:03.240 --> 0:17:07.110 I think I actually, I don't disagree. I enjoyed the people. 0:17:07.140 --> 0:17:09.169 I think we had a blast, man. 0:17:09.290 --> 0:17:10.950 The only thing that was missing was me going to 0:17:10.970 --> 0:17:14.310 Weatherman Mark and saying, I don't understand why people are 0:17:14.510 --> 0:17:17.909 angry about my little takes, man. I don't get it. 0:17:19.040 --> 0:17:21.380 We want you to debate Weatherman Mark at some point 0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:22.100 as Weatherman Mark. 0:17:22.119 --> 0:17:25.230 Oh, my God, that would be amazing. Mark versus Mark? Oh, 0:17:25.250 --> 0:17:27.510 tell me that's not radio gold. Tell me that's not 0:17:27.530 --> 0:17:29.070 winning a Marconi Award. 0:17:29.869 --> 0:17:32.919 I just don't understand why Peterson does these things, man. 0:17:35.140 --> 0:17:37.300 That is so good. It's one of the great impressions 0:17:37.340 --> 0:17:38.000 in FNC history. 0:17:38.140 --> 0:17:40.180 Oh, it's so good. All right, P, you're the man, baby. 0:17:40.220 --> 0:17:44.280 You are the man. Myron Goodman does not bone. The 0:17:44.300 --> 0:17:46.980 good man does not agree that Willie is the man. 0:17:47.380 --> 0:17:52.010 Says Willie is by far the snootiest personality on WFNZ. 0:17:52.070 --> 0:17:53.570 Thank you, Myron Badman. 0:17:53.590 --> 0:17:57.290 When we come back, Moose Johnson will have the game 0:17:57.770 --> 0:17:59.790 for Fox this Sunday, Panthers, Bucks. 0:18:00.130 --> 0:18:02.869 He joins us next for a preview.
