0:00:13.810 --> 0:00:15.910
<v Speaker 1>up danielle how you doing How are we doing?

0:00:15.950 --> 0:00:20.349
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing great. You spoke to my northern heart also

0:00:20.390 --> 0:00:22.450
<v Speaker 2>by talking about the Wegmans opening, and I might be

0:00:22.500 --> 0:00:24.780
<v Speaker 2>making an appearance later today as well.

0:00:24.920 --> 0:00:26.840
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so I need to ask you, first of all,

0:00:28.060 --> 0:00:31.220
<v Speaker 1>where are you from in the north? And then secondly,

0:00:32.140 --> 0:00:36.650
<v Speaker 1>explain to us what makes Wegmans so special, because some

0:00:36.690 --> 0:00:39.030
<v Speaker 1>people get it and some people, like some of us,

0:00:39.050 --> 0:00:39.610
<v Speaker 1>just don't get it.

0:00:39.650 --> 0:00:39.870
<v Speaker 3>You know?

0:00:40.510 --> 0:00:42.970
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's a grocery store, but it's

0:00:43.030 --> 0:00:45.470
<v Speaker 2>really good. I mean, they have really good prepared food.

0:00:45.510 --> 0:00:48.730
<v Speaker 2>Their pizza is really good. Their hot bar is really good.

0:00:48.750 --> 0:00:52.270
<v Speaker 2>Their fresh sushi actually is the best grocery store sushi,

0:00:52.310 --> 0:00:55.570
<v Speaker 2>I would say. They just have a lot of good stuff.

0:00:55.630 --> 0:00:58.470
<v Speaker 2>Really crazy fonts all around the store, though. Signage is

0:00:58.550 --> 0:01:01.750
<v Speaker 2>kind of weird, but it's a fun time. And I'm

0:01:01.770 --> 0:01:04.509
<v Speaker 2>from Boston, so we had one around me growing up.

0:01:04.630 --> 0:01:07.670
<v Speaker 2>I also lived in Virginia for a couple of years,

0:01:07.810 --> 0:01:10.780
<v Speaker 2>and we had one in in Charlottesville, where I live there, too.

0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:13.690
<v Speaker 2>So I've been a Wegmans loyalist for some time.

0:01:13.700 --> 0:01:18.730
<v Speaker 3>The reports coming in that we see are unreal. Someone says...

0:01:19.610 --> 0:01:21.930
<v Speaker 3>people have brought their own chairs and they're sitting around

0:01:22.010 --> 0:01:22.750
<v Speaker 3>Cheese Island right now.

0:01:22.790 --> 0:01:25.390
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I saw that. Isn't that pretty crazy?

0:01:25.610 --> 0:01:27.990
<v Speaker 4>This is an event. They may not leave. This is

0:01:28.030 --> 0:01:31.009
<v Speaker 4>a resort for some of these folks. It's a freaking event, man.

0:01:31.170 --> 0:01:31.470
<v Speaker 1>All right.

0:01:31.490 --> 0:01:34.250
<v Speaker 4>Well, I am very intrigued. I'm very intrigued.

0:01:34.330 --> 0:01:36.670
<v Speaker 2>It's worth the trip to Valentine's Day.

0:01:36.990 --> 0:01:39.390
<v Speaker 1>I like that idea. I'm going to let everybody chill

0:01:39.450 --> 0:01:41.630
<v Speaker 1>out a little bit. I'll stick to my local Costco

0:01:41.650 --> 0:01:42.570
<v Speaker 1>and I'll like it for now.

0:01:42.650 --> 0:01:43.429
<v Speaker 2>There you go.

0:01:43.470 --> 0:01:44.570
<v Speaker 4>All right.

0:01:44.650 --> 0:01:49.280
<v Speaker 1>So, Danielle, I want to ask you about... Taylor Moten's return.

0:01:50.540 --> 0:01:52.060
<v Speaker 1>Listen to him talk. First of all, he's such a

0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:54.740
<v Speaker 1>likable dude as it is, but when you listen to

0:01:54.780 --> 0:01:57.520
<v Speaker 1>him talk about the blood clots and him coughing up

0:01:57.600 --> 0:02:00.960
<v Speaker 1>blood and just how scary this must have been for

0:02:01.020 --> 0:02:03.700
<v Speaker 1>him and that there is some risk of him coming

0:02:03.740 --> 0:02:06.600
<v Speaker 1>back and playing football, but he thinks it's not great

0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:10.299
<v Speaker 1>and he loves the game. Listen to him talk yesterday

0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:14.000
<v Speaker 1>is a we can't just treat him like some dude

0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:17.180
<v Speaker 1>we desperately want back to help protect Bryce. Like this

0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:19.800
<v Speaker 1>is bigger than football. What did you think about hearing

0:02:19.820 --> 0:02:20.579
<v Speaker 1>about his story?

0:02:21.380 --> 0:02:21.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:02:21.620 --> 0:02:24.540
<v Speaker 2>That's where the difference between being on the IR versus

0:02:24.650 --> 0:02:28.109
<v Speaker 2>the non injured, you know, list come into play too,

0:02:28.130 --> 0:02:30.470
<v Speaker 2>where you realize, Hey, this is obviously bigger than football.

0:02:30.870 --> 0:02:33.390
<v Speaker 2>This is someone taking care of their own wellbeing. And

0:02:33.410 --> 0:02:36.590
<v Speaker 2>that should be what everyone does prioritize. You always need

0:02:36.610 --> 0:02:38.770
<v Speaker 2>to listen to your body. You always need to make

0:02:38.810 --> 0:02:41.210
<v Speaker 2>sure you're taking care of yourself in those ways. But yeah,

0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:44.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Timo's amazing, like you said. He's been around

0:02:44.590 --> 0:02:47.250
<v Speaker 2>this team for so long. He is so well-liked. Dave

0:02:47.270 --> 0:02:50.310
<v Speaker 2>was telling us a fun anecdote, how, like, everyone has

0:02:50.370 --> 0:02:53.430
<v Speaker 2>a running joke that everyone just says, happy birthday, Timo,

0:02:53.450 --> 0:02:56.690
<v Speaker 2>whenever they see him. Just, like, whenever it's not his birthday.

0:02:56.790 --> 0:02:58.910
<v Speaker 2>And he's kind of like the fun uncle, was what

0:02:58.930 --> 0:03:02.410
<v Speaker 2>they described. And I totally see that because he's just

0:03:02.430 --> 0:03:05.350
<v Speaker 2>such a good guy. I remember last year when we

0:03:05.389 --> 0:03:08.380
<v Speaker 2>were talking to him at the beginning of, before the

0:03:08.410 --> 0:03:11.900
<v Speaker 2>season started and he hadn't, had that next option picked

0:03:11.980 --> 0:03:15.060
<v Speaker 2>up and he wasn't sure exactly what his situation was

0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:18.079
<v Speaker 2>going to be here in Carolina long-term or anything like that.

0:03:18.100 --> 0:03:21.920
<v Speaker 2>And he cried at the podium talking about what this city,

0:03:22.020 --> 0:03:24.970
<v Speaker 2>what this team means to him. And that's the kind

0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:29.410
<v Speaker 2>of leader you need. Obviously a field says one thing,

0:03:29.450 --> 0:03:31.690
<v Speaker 2>but the kind of person that they have in this

0:03:31.750 --> 0:03:35.050
<v Speaker 2>locker room who we've been seeing out at practice pretty

0:03:35.090 --> 0:03:38.510
<v Speaker 2>much every single day, he's always taking laps around the

0:03:38.550 --> 0:03:41.960
<v Speaker 2>field pregame. I always, say hey to him whenever we

0:03:41.980 --> 0:03:44.610
<v Speaker 2>have the past two home games and he's doing his

0:03:44.690 --> 0:03:48.090
<v Speaker 2>laps around the field. He's someone who's been around. So

0:03:48.170 --> 0:03:51.710
<v Speaker 2>to be obviously so candid about his own health scares and,

0:03:52.070 --> 0:03:56.180
<v Speaker 2>you know, graphic was pretty, pretty detailed and being as

0:03:56.300 --> 0:03:59.060
<v Speaker 2>open with us as he was. I think that says

0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:02.800
<v Speaker 2>so much about the kind of guy he is and

0:04:02.940 --> 0:04:05.400
<v Speaker 2>what kind of player the Panthers will be getting back

0:04:05.460 --> 0:04:06.720
<v Speaker 2>for this next part of their season.

0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:10.320
<v Speaker 3>Danielle opinions vary on this but the eagles are an

0:04:10.420 --> 0:04:14.100
<v Speaker 3>injured mess coming off a a terrible way to lose

0:04:14.140 --> 0:04:17.880
<v Speaker 3>for themselves in london would you rather them come in

0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:21.089
<v Speaker 3>feeling this down or would you rather than be on

0:04:21.130 --> 0:04:24.909
<v Speaker 3>a high than we thought they were almost at against

0:04:24.950 --> 0:04:27.350
<v Speaker 3>jacksonville what what's your opinion on that do you like

0:04:27.370 --> 0:04:29.250
<v Speaker 3>the eagles being down or would you rather them feeling

0:04:29.270 --> 0:04:31.659
<v Speaker 3>good about themselves I mean, a.

0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:33.740
<v Speaker 2>Win's a win however way you get it. If they're

0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:35.720
<v Speaker 2>feeling good, if they're not feeling good, it doesn't matter

0:04:35.740 --> 0:04:38.840
<v Speaker 2>as long as the Panthers are feeling good. That's, I guess,

0:04:38.860 --> 0:04:43.230
<v Speaker 2>how it should play out. Obviously, good games for viewers

0:04:43.330 --> 0:04:46.430
<v Speaker 2>come when both teams are looking some of their sharpest,

0:04:46.470 --> 0:04:49.609
<v Speaker 2>whether that be Saquon, if he's going to be available

0:04:49.710 --> 0:04:52.289
<v Speaker 2>or not. But, I mean, I think they would rather

0:04:52.370 --> 0:04:55.100
<v Speaker 2>just get the win no matter whichever way it spins out.

0:04:57.100 --> 0:04:57.380
<v Speaker 4>Works out.

0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:01.560
<v Speaker 1>All right.

0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:04.839
<v Speaker 4>You got a wind gust there, Danielle? What's going on there? Yeah,

0:05:04.860 --> 0:05:07.050
<v Speaker 4>my bad. Okay.

0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:08.050
<v Speaker 2>Is it really loud?

0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:10.530
<v Speaker 4>That one was. That one got one got. I thought

0:05:10.550 --> 0:05:11.270
<v Speaker 4>you were in a wind tunnel.

0:05:11.290 --> 0:05:13.150
<v Speaker 3>It was kind of soothing because it stopped Mac from

0:05:13.190 --> 0:05:14.010
<v Speaker 3>talking for a second.

0:05:14.089 --> 0:05:14.930
<v Speaker 4>I couldn't say anything.

0:05:14.990 --> 0:05:15.540
<v Speaker 1>Bone loved it.

0:05:15.589 --> 0:05:18.770
<v Speaker 2>It was the old rail trail. That's so my fault. Yeah,

0:05:18.790 --> 0:05:19.170
<v Speaker 2>I'm outside.

0:05:19.230 --> 0:05:19.810
<v Speaker 4>Oh, it's all good.

0:05:19.830 --> 0:05:20.710
<v Speaker 2>The old rail trail.

0:05:20.750 --> 0:05:23.450
<v Speaker 1>I thought Danielle Stein was reporting live from the NASCAR

0:05:23.490 --> 0:05:25.490
<v Speaker 1>wind tunnel. That's what I thought was going on there.

0:05:26.150 --> 0:05:30.210
<v Speaker 1>All right. Daniel Stein, WCNC is with us. How do

0:05:30.250 --> 0:05:33.350
<v Speaker 1>you feel about Bryce? We talked about this earlier, like,

0:05:33.910 --> 0:05:37.570
<v Speaker 1>and I'll throw the offense in too. Do you expect

0:05:37.630 --> 0:05:40.920
<v Speaker 1>Bryce and the offense to do this for the full season?

0:05:41.020 --> 0:05:43.200
<v Speaker 1>I know there's some people that are like afraid it's

0:05:43.220 --> 0:05:46.020
<v Speaker 1>going to drop off. Bone and I, Bone and I

0:05:46.140 --> 0:05:48.120
<v Speaker 1>feel like this is a, this is going to be

0:05:48.140 --> 0:05:50.080
<v Speaker 1>a pretty damn good offense for 17 games.

0:05:50.140 --> 0:05:51.240
<v Speaker 4>How do you feel about that?

0:05:52.089 --> 0:05:54.730
<v Speaker 2>I feel pretty similar. I think that what we're seeing

0:05:55.270 --> 0:05:57.089
<v Speaker 2>is kind of what we're getting. Of course, there's going

0:05:57.110 --> 0:06:01.170
<v Speaker 2>to be some uncontrollables, whether people are injured or things

0:06:01.230 --> 0:06:03.870
<v Speaker 2>like that. But one thing about Bryce is I do

0:06:03.910 --> 0:06:07.970
<v Speaker 2>feel like he's pretty consistent in how he answers questions,

0:06:08.050 --> 0:06:10.610
<v Speaker 2>how he does his workouts, how he does just his

0:06:10.650 --> 0:06:14.830
<v Speaker 2>whole life. So once Bryce seems like he's doing something

0:06:14.870 --> 0:06:17.729
<v Speaker 2>a certain way, it feels like this could be what

0:06:17.770 --> 0:06:20.170
<v Speaker 2>we would expect to see, especially now that we have

0:06:20.690 --> 0:06:23.710
<v Speaker 2>four games of a sample size and his numbers have

0:06:23.730 --> 0:06:26.710
<v Speaker 2>been excellent. It's not like they've had real drop-offs, even

0:06:27.230 --> 0:06:30.729
<v Speaker 2>that Cleveland game that they say wasn't maybe their strongest offensive.

0:06:30.750 --> 0:06:33.349
<v Speaker 2>He still had two 91, I believe for passing hard.

0:06:33.410 --> 0:06:38.410
<v Speaker 2>So Bryce looks sharp. He's like, I say, we talked

0:06:38.450 --> 0:06:41.630
<v Speaker 2>to him after this bi-week and we, you know, we

0:06:41.650 --> 0:06:43.630
<v Speaker 2>just saw this whole media tour that he just did

0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:46.930
<v Speaker 2>between going on game day and going on Monday night

0:06:46.950 --> 0:06:50.300
<v Speaker 2>football with Manning cast, things like that. And he's like, yeah,

0:06:50.310 --> 0:06:52.860
<v Speaker 2>it's good experiences, but like just really happy to be

0:06:52.900 --> 0:06:55.380
<v Speaker 2>back in this building and getting to work with my guys.

0:06:56.420 --> 0:06:58.560
<v Speaker 3>What do you think of the job that Brad has

0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:00.060
<v Speaker 3>done so far as a play caller?

0:07:01.300 --> 0:07:03.660
<v Speaker 2>I think it's great. I think, I think what's great

0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:05.960
<v Speaker 2>is it seems like Bryce and TMAC and all of

0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:08.250
<v Speaker 2>the other offensive weapons seem to be happy about it.

0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:11.780
<v Speaker 2>And I think that's obviously what's the most important. clear

0:07:11.820 --> 0:07:15.460
<v Speaker 2>that they're really opening up Bryce's game. He's looking to

0:07:15.500 --> 0:07:18.260
<v Speaker 2>a lot of different targets as well. Of course, this

0:07:18.290 --> 0:07:20.970
<v Speaker 2>last one was big on TMAC, but the fact that

0:07:20.990 --> 0:07:24.130
<v Speaker 2>they're incorporating as many of the tight ends as regularly

0:07:24.350 --> 0:07:27.090
<v Speaker 2>as they are right now, I think is really great.

0:07:27.250 --> 0:07:30.050
<v Speaker 2>And it's allowing Bryce, it looks like, to play a

0:07:30.070 --> 0:07:30.750
<v Speaker 2>lot more freely.

0:07:31.940 --> 0:07:34.280
<v Speaker 4>No doubt. No doubt about it. All right, Danielle. Well, hey,

0:07:34.300 --> 0:07:34.680
<v Speaker 4>it's good.

0:07:35.110 --> 0:07:37.190
<v Speaker 1>Good to talk to you. Good to catch up with you.

0:07:37.610 --> 0:07:41.330
<v Speaker 1>And certainly fun talking about this Panther team. Hopefully that'll

0:07:41.350 --> 0:07:45.190
<v Speaker 1>be the same after Sunday. Thanks for coming on. Anything

0:07:45.230 --> 0:07:48.040
<v Speaker 1>specifically you and Carboni are cooking up on WCNC?

0:07:48.100 --> 0:07:49.520
<v Speaker 4>Anything you want to promote specifically?

0:07:49.540 --> 0:07:54.720
<v Speaker 2>Oh, let's see. I did my one-on-one. I do typically

0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:57.500
<v Speaker 2>a weekly one-on-one with a player. This week I got

0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:01.650
<v Speaker 2>undrafted rookie Aaron Hall, who was first of all, such

0:08:01.690 --> 0:08:04.830
<v Speaker 2>a nice guy and such a good interview. But what

0:08:04.850 --> 0:08:08.350
<v Speaker 2>a cool story. One of three players on this team

0:08:08.390 --> 0:08:12.570
<v Speaker 2>to get on that 53 after being undrafted, not an

0:08:12.610 --> 0:08:14.870
<v Speaker 2>easy thing, but he's played in all four games. He

0:08:14.910 --> 0:08:18.170
<v Speaker 2>had a start. He's looked really sharp and there's some

0:08:18.230 --> 0:08:20.390
<v Speaker 2>changes to that room. We know that cam Jackson is

0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:22.480
<v Speaker 2>now going to be out for the season. So he

0:08:22.620 --> 0:08:25.580
<v Speaker 2>very well could be sticking around in this lineup, even

0:08:25.660 --> 0:08:28.100
<v Speaker 2>if Turk Wharton is back in it. So there's a

0:08:28.100 --> 0:08:31.620
<v Speaker 2>little bit of change coming in that room. Um, and

0:08:31.660 --> 0:08:34.720
<v Speaker 2>then I guess on the side, something fun I've been doing,

0:08:34.740 --> 0:08:36.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you guys have been seeing this,

0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:39.660
<v Speaker 2>but whenever I chat with any of the athletes, I

0:08:39.710 --> 0:08:44.689
<v Speaker 2>like to talk about food quite a bit. Um, So

0:08:44.710 --> 0:08:47.189
<v Speaker 2>I've been doing a little social series, which has been

0:08:47.210 --> 0:08:51.010
<v Speaker 2>really fun, called Taste of the Pros. And I ask guys, like,

0:08:51.390 --> 0:08:53.880
<v Speaker 2>all right, you're around Charlotte. You want a bite to eat.

0:08:53.890 --> 0:08:56.240
<v Speaker 2>Where are you going? And what are you ordering? Nice.

0:08:56.260 --> 0:08:59.000
<v Speaker 2>And then I go and try what they're doing. So

0:08:59.420 --> 0:09:02.640
<v Speaker 2>people have been awesome about it. Let me think. Like,

0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:05.800
<v Speaker 2>Devin Lloyd sent me to Del Frisco's, so opened my

0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:09.679
<v Speaker 2>wallet up there big time. But, like, Jimmy Horn Jr.

0:09:09.740 --> 0:09:13.000
<v Speaker 2>loved Nana Morrison's soul food. Before he had left, I

0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:15.830
<v Speaker 2>had asked him that one. So it's just been cool

0:09:15.870 --> 0:09:19.050
<v Speaker 2>to know what people's favorite bites are around the city.

0:09:19.070 --> 0:09:19.650
<v Speaker 4>That's awesome.

0:09:20.670 --> 0:09:24.770
<v Speaker 2>That's a cool idea. Yeah. People like it. And what

0:09:24.809 --> 0:09:27.030
<v Speaker 2>person in general doesn't like to answer what their favorite

0:09:27.100 --> 0:09:27.790
<v Speaker 2>foods are to eat?

0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:30.450
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely. You are speaking our language now.

0:09:30.460 --> 0:09:32.219
<v Speaker 3>That's what most of our segments turn into, to be

0:09:32.260 --> 0:09:33.560
<v Speaker 3>honest with you.

0:09:33.580 --> 0:09:35.220
<v Speaker 4>I love it. I love it. So that's very cool.

0:09:35.420 --> 0:09:36.160
<v Speaker 4>All right, Danielle.

0:09:36.179 --> 0:09:39.200
<v Speaker 1>Well, hey, good to catch up with you. And thanks

0:09:39.220 --> 0:09:40.449
<v Speaker 1>for coming on. Keep up the good work.

0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:42.570
<v Speaker 2>Appreciate you guys. Have a good one.
