<v Speaker 2>the Carolinas?

0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:29.240
<v Speaker 3>That's what we should Spirit.

0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:30.760
<v Speaker 2>Of the Carolinas. Did I screw up that?

0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:31.119
<v Speaker 3>Read?

0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:34.000
<v Speaker 2>Even after you handed me the card? Podcast Matt, I'm

0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:37.679
<v Speaker 2>just the worst. I'm so glad at this. Who thought

0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:40.120
<v Speaker 2>it was a good idea to give me a microphone

0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:41.200
<v Speaker 2>in live airtime?

0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:43.920
<v Speaker 3>Thank goodness, we're not live.

0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:46.440
<v Speaker 2>This was terrible at any rate.

0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:49.680
<v Speaker 3>Speaking of the Spirit of the Carolinas, that's a good

0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:50.960
<v Speaker 3>little plug real quick.

0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:51.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah hit me.

0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:54.640
<v Speaker 3>There are going to be shirts for sealing the team

0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:58.440
<v Speaker 3>store on Sunday, proceeds going to Hurricane relief that say

0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:01.800
<v Speaker 3>keep pounding for the Carolinas. They are a beautiful shirt.

0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:03.880
<v Speaker 3>Go grab you one on your way to the game.

0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:07.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, absolutely, Hurricane Relase and we're gonna have more about

0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:10.040
<v Speaker 2>those available on Panthers dot com later today. You can

0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:12.400
<v Speaker 2>see the pictures the guys were wearing it as they

0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:16.280
<v Speaker 2>participated in some relief efforts earlier this week. And anytime

0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:18.320
<v Speaker 2>something like that gets out there in the world, people

0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:20.120
<v Speaker 2>are like, how can I get one of those? And

0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:22.679
<v Speaker 2>the answer is right now at the Carolina Panthers Team

0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:25.960
<v Speaker 2>store starting today on Thursday, one hundred percent of the

0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:28.880
<v Speaker 2>net proceeds of these shirts is going to hurricane relief.

0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:30.720
<v Speaker 2>We've got so many of our neighbors here in the

0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:34.240
<v Speaker 2>Carolinas in a bad spot right now, given the what

0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:37.560
<v Speaker 2>happened with Hurricane Helene in the aftermath and the terrible

0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:40.600
<v Speaker 2>flooding in the mountains and so many areas around. This

0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:43.040
<v Speaker 2>is going to that and we're gonna stand up. We're

0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:45.720
<v Speaker 2>gonna help our neighbors because that's what neighbors do. And

0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:48.680
<v Speaker 2>there's all kind of stuff between the shirts that are

0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:51.239
<v Speaker 2>available so many people. I've just talked to so many

0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:53.560
<v Speaker 2>people in the community in the last couple of days,

0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:59.200
<v Speaker 2>and it's amazing that every church in town is doing

0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:02.720
<v Speaker 2>something for real efforts. Every group you know is is

0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:05.679
<v Speaker 2>doing something to help their neighbors. And you know all

0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:08.040
<v Speaker 2>by the way, the weekend the Panthers are in Bronco

0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:11.480
<v Speaker 2>are in Denver to play the Broncos. Uh, there's gonna

0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:13.880
<v Speaker 2>be a little concert here at Bank of America Stadium.

0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:17.040
<v Speaker 2>Maybe you've heard something about that too, So you know,

0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:19.480
<v Speaker 2>hats off the guys like Luke Colm's and Eric.

0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:22.240
<v Speaker 3>Church, Sheryl Crowe, James Taylor.

0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:25.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, those two in particular, I mean, because they are

0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:26.920
<v Speaker 2>what I like to say, they are from and of

0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:31.160
<v Speaker 2>they are us, and they are stepping up for their people,

0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:34.280
<v Speaker 2>and that's what you love to see. So it's just

0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:37.280
<v Speaker 2>this morning. I could just went on sale this morning

0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:38.800
<v Speaker 2>and they're going fast and there are going to be

0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:40.640
<v Speaker 2>a lot of them. From what I understand of the

0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:44.160
<v Speaker 2>stage set up it's being it's being put together here

0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:47.280
<v Speaker 2>in the building to maximize the crowd available. So a

0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:49.920
<v Speaker 2>lot of details to come, stay tuned for that on

0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:53.480
<v Speaker 2>how you can see it live and maybe otherwise. Uh,

0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:57.280
<v Speaker 2>details to come, so stay tuned for all that. But

0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:01.160
<v Speaker 2>at some point in this podcast about football, I guess

0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:04.080
<v Speaker 2>we got to talk about football, And as far as

0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:06.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm concerned, the less time we spend talking about Chicago,

0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:10.800
<v Speaker 2>the better. That was not a memorable trip for any

0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:16.360
<v Speaker 2>good reason for a lot of people, So it got

0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:19.800
<v Speaker 2>away from them early and it didn't turn around. I

0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:23.119
<v Speaker 2>think from a football standpoint, Dave Canalis is always talking

0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:25.680
<v Speaker 2>about third down percentage, and when you go zero for

0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:27.640
<v Speaker 2>six on third downs in the first half of a

0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:29.800
<v Speaker 2>ballgame against the team that can move the ball a

0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:33.000
<v Speaker 2>little bit, that's not going well for you, and it

0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:38.280
<v Speaker 2>did not, and boom before you look up your down

0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:41.200
<v Speaker 2>three scores at halftime, and then it's kind of everything's

0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:44.000
<v Speaker 2>out of phase. So all the things they want to

0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:46.960
<v Speaker 2>be about or are kind of not on the menu anymore.

0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:49.279
<v Speaker 2>You want to be stubborn, you want to run, You

0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:51.360
<v Speaker 2>want to keep giving it to Chuba Hubbard because he's

0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:54.400
<v Speaker 2>killing it lately. But it's kind of hard to justify

0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:57.599
<v Speaker 2>that when you're down three scores. So it's one of

0:04:57.600 --> 0:05:01.280
<v Speaker 2>those one problem feeds the next three. And it just

0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:05.240
<v Speaker 2>got downhill on them the other day and they're moving on.

0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:08.760
<v Speaker 2>So now we talk about Atlanta, right, Yeah.

0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:12.240
<v Speaker 3>I did want to add one thing. The Bears had

0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:15.560
<v Speaker 3>a twenty point second quarter. That's gonna change a lot

0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:18.120
<v Speaker 3>of games, so we can talk in and out about

0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:20.920
<v Speaker 3>the defensive side of things. I will say that offense

0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:23.800
<v Speaker 3>didn't necessarily hold up their end of the which is

0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:27.200
<v Speaker 3>hard to do when you're down three scores. But I

0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:29.440
<v Speaker 3>think you might have even said this in your mailbag,

0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:32.120
<v Speaker 3>and if you didn't, I'm just quoting you in my

0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:35.320
<v Speaker 3>mind because it sounds like something you would say. This

0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:38.119
<v Speaker 3>sounds weird to say only five games in and given

0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:40.800
<v Speaker 3>what happened the first two weeks, but what we've seen

0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:44.479
<v Speaker 3>of the offense the past few weeks, Sunday felt more

0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:46.720
<v Speaker 3>like the anomaly, not the Raiders game.

0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:51.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it really did. And you can tell based on

0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:54.039
<v Speaker 2>what they're trying to do offensively. I mean, Andy Dalton's

0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:57.000
<v Speaker 2>brought a sense of stability to this thing. You know

0:05:57.120 --> 0:05:59.800
<v Speaker 2>what he's good at, you know the kind of quarterback

0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:02.240
<v Speaker 2>he is, because you've got fourteen years of evidence to

0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:06.080
<v Speaker 2>base it on. Cuba Hubbard is on a heater.

0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:08.240
<v Speaker 3>Right right, just an absolute tear.

0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:11.719
<v Speaker 2>Three yard short of three straight hundred yard games. He

0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:14.960
<v Speaker 2>is catching the ball well, he is doing all those

0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:17.880
<v Speaker 2>Tuba things that were used to CHEWBA Hubbard doing. I mean,

0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:19.800
<v Speaker 2>one of the things that's interesting to me, and I

0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:23.039
<v Speaker 2>wrote about him last night at Panthers dot com. Cuba

0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:26.760
<v Speaker 2>has always been a guy with straight lenspeed. You know,

0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:29.840
<v Speaker 2>the old Canadian high school track star thing was part

0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:31.960
<v Speaker 2>of his bio early on, even when he went to

0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Oklahoma State. We know that Cuba works hard. The stories

0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:39.960
<v Speaker 2>of him and the Jugs machine have now become legend now.

0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:42.800
<v Speaker 2>All the time he and Tommy Tremble spend after practice

0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:45.680
<v Speaker 2>working to improve their game has now become part of

0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:48.400
<v Speaker 2>his bio. Also, the thing that's impressive to me about

0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:52.680
<v Speaker 2>Chewba Hubbard right now is he is developing as a

0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:55.120
<v Speaker 2>running back. He's learned how to set up runs, I

0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:58.400
<v Speaker 2>think with any with any back, And Dave Canal has

0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:01.039
<v Speaker 2>talked about this a little bit yesterday. There is a

0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:04.040
<v Speaker 2>temptation when you're a young back to if a hole

0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:07.039
<v Speaker 2>is closed off, to stop and pop it the other direction.

0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:10.040
<v Speaker 2>And when you do that, you're taking a chance at

0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:12.440
<v Speaker 2>making a big play, but you're also throwing away the

0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:14.960
<v Speaker 2>design of the play. Here's what Canal has had to

0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:15.480
<v Speaker 2>say about that.

0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:19.920
<v Speaker 4>Some guys are naturally that way. Some guys naturally are

0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:24.360
<v Speaker 4>looking for the home run. And based on their lifetime experience,

0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:26.800
<v Speaker 4>a lot of these guys were talking about thousands of

0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:30.600
<v Speaker 4>kerries dating back to when they're ten years old, you know,

0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:33.680
<v Speaker 4>some of them even younger. And so they've found ways

0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:37.000
<v Speaker 4>to find success, to find holes in the defense, you know,

0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:39.360
<v Speaker 4>and sometimes it was cutting way back against the grain,

0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:42.000
<v Speaker 4>you know. And unfortunately in this league that doesn't work

0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:44.760
<v Speaker 4>a lot because everybody's fast and everybody's big. And so

0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:49.120
<v Speaker 4>while you become a professional running back, you learn the

0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:52.600
<v Speaker 4>value of just that patience of knowing where to hit it,

0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:56.560
<v Speaker 4>what's the front, how are the linebackers playing it, where's

0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:58.920
<v Speaker 4>my leverage at, you know, and then making sure that

0:07:59.000 --> 0:08:01.400
<v Speaker 4>you can set run up as the game goes on.

0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:04.560
<v Speaker 4>And that certainly is a skill that's developed over time,

0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:06.400
<v Speaker 4>and that's something that Cuba has shown a knack for.

0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:10.800
<v Speaker 2>It's really about discipline, it's really about patience. Because I

0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:12.840
<v Speaker 2>had a coach explain it to me the other day.

0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:15.600
<v Speaker 2>What Cuba is doing right now is kind of staying

0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:18.160
<v Speaker 2>on the path that the play was called on. So

0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:21.880
<v Speaker 2>rather than making that big adjustment if he runs into trouble,

0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:25.440
<v Speaker 2>it's a subtle one. It's one step rather than popping

0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:27.880
<v Speaker 2>it the other way and back the way the play

0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:30.560
<v Speaker 2>was designed to go. And you saw on that thirty

0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:33.600
<v Speaker 2>eight yard touchdown run, I mean, Austin Corbett and Robert

0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:35.880
<v Speaker 2>Hunt get out there and there is a hole I

0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:38.720
<v Speaker 2>could have runty eight yards through and I am not

0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:45.800
<v Speaker 2>particularly fast. So I just think that by developing that discipline,

0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:48.680
<v Speaker 2>developing that patience is a running back, you're starting to

0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:51.680
<v Speaker 2>see all those other cool things that Cuba's been doing,

0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:55.360
<v Speaker 2>like being fast and working hard, show more and more

0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:57.440
<v Speaker 2>the patience.

0:08:57.520 --> 0:08:59.120
<v Speaker 3>It's letting the play set up the way it was

0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:01.240
<v Speaker 3>supposed to. And then it also is a little bit

0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:03.319
<v Speaker 3>of that speed. I think you and I could have

0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:05.600
<v Speaker 3>run maybe twelve yards through that whole.

0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:08.119
<v Speaker 2>I was taken that one to the house.

0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:10.640
<v Speaker 3>But then from there Tuba did hit the fastest speed

0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:12.600
<v Speaker 3>of his career on the back end of that run.

0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:16.080
<v Speaker 2>I've never gone twenty miles an hour outside of a

0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:18.040
<v Speaker 2>car in my life. Well that's not true.

0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:19.680
<v Speaker 3>You prius go twenty miles an hour.

0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:23.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Will, It's got all the speed I need. That's

0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:26.200
<v Speaker 2>not true. I have done over twenty miles an hour

0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:31.080
<v Speaker 2>on my bicycle going downhill, so and always wear a helmet.

0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:32.920
<v Speaker 3>I did that one time too, which is why I

0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:35.160
<v Speaker 3>have half an eyebrow missing from the stitches.

0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:39.160
<v Speaker 2>That's quite a story that might be its own podcast.

0:09:39.679 --> 0:09:42.760
<v Speaker 2>So surgery Stories with Cassidy Hill. What do you think,

0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:45.480
<v Speaker 2>Matt is Is there a future for that? Can we

0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:47.560
<v Speaker 2>get that sponsored by Adrian? Maybe?

0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:48.120
<v Speaker 1>Eh?

0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:51.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you see what I'm doing there, energy all our

0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:54.480
<v Speaker 2>friends in the medical profession. We don't do this on

0:09:54.600 --> 0:10:00.959
<v Speaker 2>purpose or without professional guidance. So anyway back to Cuba

0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:03.319
<v Speaker 2>and the offense, I mean, I mentioned Austin Corbett and

0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:06.440
<v Speaker 2>Rob Hunt created that giant hole. Obviously, things are going

0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:08.840
<v Speaker 2>to be different this week with Austin Corbett out for

0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:13.320
<v Speaker 2>the season. It's one of those injuries torn biceps and

0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:18.560
<v Speaker 2>speaking of advice from medical professionals, biceps are both singular and.

0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:20.560
<v Speaker 3>Plural, a lesson I learned this week.

0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:22.840
<v Speaker 2>Always put an S on the end of that one. Kids,

0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:27.000
<v Speaker 2>it's both singular and plural. They is our singular and

0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:30.160
<v Speaker 2>they is our plural biceps.

0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:31.839
<v Speaker 3>So that's not confusing at all.

0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:33.840
<v Speaker 2>That's English one oh one. We do it for the

0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:37.960
<v Speaker 2>people here at the Happy half Hour, kids. But seriously,

0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:40.240
<v Speaker 2>Austin's loss is going to be a huge one, not

0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:43.679
<v Speaker 2>just because he had settled into that position and made

0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:45.400
<v Speaker 2>it its own. We spent a lot of time this

0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:49.160
<v Speaker 2>offseason talking about could Austin Corbett police Center. The answer

0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:53.520
<v Speaker 2>was a resounding yes. He was part of what had

0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:57.720
<v Speaker 2>become a really good offensive line. And it's tough not

0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:01.600
<v Speaker 2>just to replace a guy, but to replace a guy

0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:05.000
<v Speaker 2>who was part of that personality that they had built.

0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:07.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Damian Lewis talked about mean, tough and nasty,

0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:11.560
<v Speaker 2>and him and Rob and Austin had been that through

0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:14.840
<v Speaker 2>five games. I mean they were leaning on people, creating

0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:17.240
<v Speaker 2>a lot of holes for Chewba Hubbard and protecting well.

0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:19.200
<v Speaker 2>And that's what you want an offensive line to do.

0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:21.319
<v Speaker 3>I guess now we need to figure out which one

0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:24.480
<v Speaker 3>is Brady Christensen. Does he mean tough for nasty.

0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:26.400
<v Speaker 2>Or maybe he's something else here?

0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:28.480
<v Speaker 3>Let him be his own person. I guess you know,

0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:32.640
<v Speaker 3>they have a chance this week to set up this

0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:34.520
<v Speaker 3>offensive line they wait they wanted to for the rest

0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:37.120
<v Speaker 3>of the season, or to get some good reps under

0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:39.439
<v Speaker 3>their belt, because you look at that Thursday night game

0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:43.040
<v Speaker 3>between the Falcons and the Bucks last week. The first half,

0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:47.280
<v Speaker 3>the Falcons didn't have a single pressure on Baker Mayfield

0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:50.040
<v Speaker 3>that entire first half. Now they got after and more

0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:52.720
<v Speaker 3>in the second half just as things wore on. But

0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:55.960
<v Speaker 3>if you can hold up like that in the first

0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:58.480
<v Speaker 3>half against the line that I mean, you've got Matthew

0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:01.719
<v Speaker 3>Judin back there. But you know, if you can do

0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:04.760
<v Speaker 3>what the Bucks did, the Bucks proved it's possible and

0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:08.079
<v Speaker 3>it's very capable to protect your quarterback against this Falcons

0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:10.640
<v Speaker 3>defensive front. If you can do that in the first

0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:12.400
<v Speaker 3>half and build up a little bit of a lead,

0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:15.839
<v Speaker 3>and get a couple of stops on defense. That's getting

0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:17.880
<v Speaker 3>into the whole game plan. But from the offensive line

0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:21.319
<v Speaker 3>of it all, this is this is not a horrible

0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:25.320
<v Speaker 3>matchup to kind of get your new offensive line set well, and.

0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:28.480
<v Speaker 2>It's a familiar challenge. Much like the Carolina Panthers, the

0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:32.600
<v Speaker 2>Falcons are not overburdened with multiple pass rush weapons. I mean,

0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:35.200
<v Speaker 2>they went out and got an old head like Matthew

0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:38.200
<v Speaker 2>Judon for a reason, much the same way the Panthers

0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:41.480
<v Speaker 2>did with Davian Clowney. And other than that, they're still

0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:43.720
<v Speaker 2>very much looking for answers. But here's what we know

0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:48.400
<v Speaker 2>absolutely about the Falcons defense. Jesse Bates a problem.

0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:48.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:50.480
<v Speaker 2>Jesse Bates is a guy you've got.

0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:52.640
<v Speaker 3>To you can play center field almost better than anything.

0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:55.959
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you've got to know where he is on every play.

0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:58.559
<v Speaker 2>And Andy talked about that the other day as a

0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:01.679
<v Speaker 2>guy that you know, he knows from his years in Cincinnati.

0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:03.680
<v Speaker 2>So they do have to be careful about that.

0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:07.000
<v Speaker 5>I think for them it's the players that they have.

0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:10.640
<v Speaker 5>They're aggressive, they're smart, they understand the game really well.

0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:13.360
<v Speaker 5>I was with Jesse Bates for a couple of years

0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:14.959
<v Speaker 5>and since he so I know the type of player

0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:19.040
<v Speaker 5>that he is. Their fronts of very veteran group, guys

0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:21.960
<v Speaker 5>that have played a ton of ball, And so you

0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:25.679
<v Speaker 5>go it into just what that style of defense that

0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:29.240
<v Speaker 5>they're bringing. I mean, they're aggressive, they're smart, they they're

0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:31.120
<v Speaker 5>running to the ball. I mean they've played really well

0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:31.520
<v Speaker 5>this year.

0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:34.160
<v Speaker 2>But I think more than anything, I mean going back

0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:36.719
<v Speaker 2>to I'm going to do, like Dave Canalis, let's make

0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:39.400
<v Speaker 2>this about us. I want to talk about what the

0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:42.920
<v Speaker 2>Panthers are. This is us, which I'm still not convinced

0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:46.000
<v Speaker 2>as a television show is something I'm ever going to partake.

0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:49.120
<v Speaker 3>Whatever you think it is. It's not though everything you've

0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:50.680
<v Speaker 3>said about this show has been wrong.

0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:52.960
<v Speaker 2>Well maybe so, but I don't watch a lot of

0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:54.880
<v Speaker 2>TV to begin with, so I don't know that I'm

0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:57.800
<v Speaker 2>That's one I'm going to add. But back to the

0:13:57.840 --> 0:13:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Panthers and what they want to do. You mentioned Christian

0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:04.400
<v Speaker 2>in a second ago. I think Brady kind of profiles

0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:07.960
<v Speaker 2>a lot like Austin. When you're an offensive lineman, whether

0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:10.960
<v Speaker 2>it's in high school, middle school, college, if you're the

0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:14.120
<v Speaker 2>best offensive lineman on your team, you're a left tackle,

0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:16.600
<v Speaker 2>whether you're a left tackle or not. I mean, Austin

0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:21.200
<v Speaker 2>Corbett's college coach at Nevada told him, Son, you're playing

0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:23.440
<v Speaker 2>left tackle right now, but you're a center, whether you

0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:25.520
<v Speaker 2>know it or not. It just took him eight years

0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:28.520
<v Speaker 2>to get there. Brady has a lot of those same traits.

0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:33.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Brady Christiansen is athletic, Brady Christiansen is smart,

0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:36.200
<v Speaker 2>and Brady Christiansen is aware and those are kind of

0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:39.480
<v Speaker 2>the things that you need your center to be in

0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:42.600
<v Speaker 2>the modern NFL. And I think he has those traits

0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:45.200
<v Speaker 2>to be able to pull that off. Now, he's got

0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:48.400
<v Speaker 2>to like Austin. You know, at least Austin had the

0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:51.160
<v Speaker 2>benefit of always being the emergency center. This is still

0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:54.120
<v Speaker 2>kind of a new job for Brady's. He's learning as

0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:56.640
<v Speaker 2>he goes and things have smoothed out, but he got

0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:59.800
<v Speaker 2>a lot of reps at it through OTAs, through training camp,

0:14:59.800 --> 0:15:03.440
<v Speaker 2>through the preseason, and you know, he is a guy

0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:05.880
<v Speaker 2>that they know. You know. I think somebody said the

0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:08.280
<v Speaker 2>other day, what I know Brady is is a good

0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:12.720
<v Speaker 2>offensive lineman. Yeah, And I think having him in between

0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:15.960
<v Speaker 2>Robin Damian Lewis kind of gives him an opportunity to

0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:17.800
<v Speaker 2>settle in same way it did with Austin.

0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:20.160
<v Speaker 3>And you know something else that I honestly didn't think

0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:22.680
<v Speaker 3>about until this exact moment. This is just off the

0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:23.320
<v Speaker 3>top of the dome.

0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:23.880
<v Speaker 2>Mm hmm.

0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:27.800
<v Speaker 3>Brady Christensen was the backup center, that's correct, which means

0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:30.640
<v Speaker 3>he spent a lot of the off season with Andy Dalton.

0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:33.760
<v Speaker 2>Hey. That is right. That kind of works out, doesn't it.

0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:36.960
<v Speaker 3>Right? Look how look at how it all came together.

0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:40.520
<v Speaker 2>All comes together full circle here and our old friend

0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:43.000
<v Speaker 2>Kid Mays is back in the building. Cade's another guy

0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:46.560
<v Speaker 2>who's got experience playing both guard spots and center in

0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:48.480
<v Speaker 2>his career. So that was a nice little piece of

0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:50.440
<v Speaker 2>depth to get back in after Caid had spent a

0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:53.680
<v Speaker 2>couple of weeks on the Giant's practice squad in his

0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:58.040
<v Speaker 2>time away from us here and Charlotte. But they're gonna

0:15:58.040 --> 0:16:00.240
<v Speaker 2>have to get back to that personality. I mean, that's

0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:03.360
<v Speaker 2>just it. Whether they're playing the Falcons, whether it's Denver

0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:06.760
<v Speaker 2>in a couple of weeks, whether it's Washington. The plan's

0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:09.920
<v Speaker 2>not really gonna change because I mean they want to

0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:12.280
<v Speaker 2>do very basic things and do them well and then

0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:15.120
<v Speaker 2>build on this thing. Dave Canalis's whole plan for this

0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:19.400
<v Speaker 2>offense is lay in the foundation right now and continue

0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:22.120
<v Speaker 2>to add, continue to adapt. I mean, he talks about

0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:26.080
<v Speaker 2>his dream scenario is being able to run plays out

0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:29.560
<v Speaker 2>of five different personnel groups. And it's gonna take some

0:16:29.680 --> 0:16:31.920
<v Speaker 2>time for the Carolina Panthers to get to that point.

0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:35.040
<v Speaker 2>But what we know they can do right now is run,

0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:38.760
<v Speaker 2>let Andy do smart Andy Dalton things, and get some

0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:40.760
<v Speaker 2>play action off of that and move the ball down

0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:44.640
<v Speaker 2>the field from time to time. It's very simple. It's

0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:47.280
<v Speaker 2>not easy, but it is simple, and that's what they're

0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:48.280
<v Speaker 2>trying to do at the moment.

0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:50.480
<v Speaker 3>I kind of love that this week gives us an

0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:53.920
<v Speaker 3>Andy Dalton versus Kirk Cousins matchup. I don't know, I

0:16:54.000 --> 0:17:00.920
<v Speaker 3>just feel like it's so almost ironic considering how young

0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:03.280
<v Speaker 3>the NFL went over the past few years, to now

0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:06.040
<v Speaker 3>see these guys that have been able to stick around

0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:08.720
<v Speaker 3>and stick it out and really develop the mental side

0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:11.400
<v Speaker 3>of their game kind of step back in and prove

0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:15.440
<v Speaker 3>what can be how you can last as a quarterback

0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:16.879
<v Speaker 3>in this league for a really long time.

0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:20.520
<v Speaker 2>Dad Ball is real, gang, it is. Let these old

0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:22.160
<v Speaker 2>guys cook, is the answer.

0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:24.840
<v Speaker 3>Of course, what did you call this yesterday? One for

0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:25.480
<v Speaker 3>the aged?

0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:29.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, one for the aged it's and listen, man, these

0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:32.520
<v Speaker 2>guys are in their mid thirties, then old, come on.

0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:37.240
<v Speaker 2>But these two are, you know, examples of and I

0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:40.199
<v Speaker 2>say this all the time about young quarterbacks. Playing quarterback

0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:42.879
<v Speaker 2>in the NFL is really hard gage and it takes

0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:45.400
<v Speaker 2>some time for some people to learn how to do it.

0:17:45.480 --> 0:17:48.639
<v Speaker 2>And fortunately Kirk and Andy have had that time and

0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:52.080
<v Speaker 2>the experience. And you know, I think everybody's always looking

0:17:52.119 --> 0:17:54.199
<v Speaker 2>to that next thing and the younger thing. And in

0:17:54.280 --> 0:17:56.600
<v Speaker 2>an ideal world, if you drafted one and he was

0:17:56.720 --> 0:18:00.159
<v Speaker 2>ready to go right out of the chute, cool, But

0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:02.760
<v Speaker 2>it's hard to pull that off. So guys like Andy

0:18:02.840 --> 0:18:04.520
<v Speaker 2>and Kirk are gonna hang around for a long long

0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:07.120
<v Speaker 2>time because they're smart, and they're accurate, and they're good

0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:09.920
<v Speaker 2>at the footballs, so they're gonna keep on getting chances.

0:18:10.119 --> 0:18:12.719
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and that's on the defensive side of things. Like

0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:16.720
<v Speaker 3>you said, kirkis kirkus so accurate, He's so smart, And

0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:20.760
<v Speaker 3>I think he currently is tied for a league lead

0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:25.760
<v Speaker 3>eight comebacks or something like that he has. I looked

0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:27.240
<v Speaker 3>it up. At one point. I think he has like

0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:32.560
<v Speaker 3>twenty something odd fourth quarter comebacks and a few more

0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:35.680
<v Speaker 3>than that game winning drives. So this is a guy

0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:39.120
<v Speaker 3>that if you get into a battle with, you've got

0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:41.719
<v Speaker 3>to get a couple of scores on because otherwise he

0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:43.400
<v Speaker 3>can push you right there at the end of the game.

0:18:43.480 --> 0:18:46.600
<v Speaker 3>So it's gonna be a lot about making stops. It's

0:18:46.600 --> 0:18:49.160
<v Speaker 3>gonna be tough with the pass rush where it is currently,

0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:51.399
<v Speaker 3>so you've got to depend on that back end, you

0:18:51.440 --> 0:18:55.480
<v Speaker 3>know what, can Exavier Woods and Nick Scott and Mike

0:18:55.600 --> 0:18:58.560
<v Speaker 3>Jackson and j C. Horn Like, It's gonna be a

0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:00.920
<v Speaker 3>lot on them this week, especially with guys like Drake

0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:04.040
<v Speaker 3>London out there. And then oh, by the way, you've

0:19:04.040 --> 0:19:06.480
<v Speaker 3>also got Bjon Robinson, one of the best running backs

0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:09.480
<v Speaker 3>in the league, who can also flex out and catch

0:19:09.560 --> 0:19:12.720
<v Speaker 3>some passes on will routes out of the backfield, even

0:19:12.800 --> 0:19:15.879
<v Speaker 3>like little intermediate screens.

0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:18.000
<v Speaker 2>The Falcons are an intriguing team to try to gain

0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:21.840
<v Speaker 2>plan against because they're capable of doing so much different stuff, right,

0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:25.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Kyle Pitts has been billed as this multi

0:19:25.840 --> 0:19:28.439
<v Speaker 2>purpose threat for a long long time, and everybody wondered

0:19:28.440 --> 0:19:30.280
<v Speaker 2>how they were going to match up on Kyle. And

0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:32.440
<v Speaker 2>as a guy who may or may not have Kyle

0:19:32.480 --> 0:19:35.919
<v Speaker 2>Pitts on my fantasy football team, which does not include

0:19:35.960 --> 0:19:38.280
<v Speaker 2>money as a prize. It's only for funsie so it's

0:19:38.280 --> 0:19:39.359
<v Speaker 2>completely legal for me.

0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:41.480
<v Speaker 3>Good disclaimer, you know.

0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:44.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean the production hasn't always matched the potential, but

0:19:44.600 --> 0:19:47.240
<v Speaker 2>the potential is there. Yeah, I mean, you know, to

0:19:47.359 --> 0:19:49.439
<v Speaker 2>look at him, you know, from the time he was

0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:52.600
<v Speaker 2>going up against Stefon Gilmour a few years ago, it's like,

0:19:52.680 --> 0:19:54.840
<v Speaker 2>this guy can do a lot of different things. And

0:19:54.880 --> 0:19:56.600
<v Speaker 2>you can say that about a lot of guys on

0:19:56.640 --> 0:20:00.720
<v Speaker 2>that Falcons offense. So if you needed any more information,

0:20:00.840 --> 0:20:03.280
<v Speaker 2>that game they played Thursday a week ago should tell

0:20:03.320 --> 0:20:05.840
<v Speaker 2>you everything you need to know about what they're capable of.

0:20:06.119 --> 0:20:08.320
<v Speaker 2>They can score points and they can scom in a hurry.

0:20:09.359 --> 0:20:12.919
<v Speaker 3>Let me ask you this. Falcons and now Kirk have

0:20:13.040 --> 0:20:15.879
<v Speaker 3>the whole swag surf thing. What should the Panthers and

0:20:15.880 --> 0:20:17.679
<v Speaker 3>Andy do? Like, what should their dance be?

0:20:18.320 --> 0:20:21.159
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what swagsurfing is. Can you help me

0:20:21.200 --> 0:20:21.439
<v Speaker 2>with that?

0:20:22.000 --> 0:20:26.280
<v Speaker 3>It goes and I swag and swag. You've seen people

0:20:26.359 --> 0:20:27.959
<v Speaker 3>do it, you just didn't know that's what it was.

0:20:28.119 --> 0:20:31.520
<v Speaker 2>Mat Are we violating copyright music laws? Here? Are we

0:20:31.680 --> 0:20:32.640
<v Speaker 2>walking right up to.

0:20:32.600 --> 0:20:35.000
<v Speaker 3>The I can guarantee you I did not sing it

0:20:35.080 --> 0:20:36.280
<v Speaker 3>the way it actually sounds.

0:20:36.680 --> 0:20:39.679
<v Speaker 2>Okay, it sounds good, but uh yeah, I don't know.

0:20:39.800 --> 0:20:41.919
<v Speaker 2>We'll have to work on that. I think Andy is

0:20:41.920 --> 0:20:44.280
<v Speaker 2>a man of many talents, but I don't necessarily see

0:20:44.320 --> 0:20:45.560
<v Speaker 2>him as a dancer, do you.

0:20:46.920 --> 0:20:48.920
<v Speaker 3>I didn't see Kirk Cousins as a dancer either.

0:20:49.160 --> 0:20:49.600
<v Speaker 2>That's fair.

0:20:49.640 --> 0:20:50.560
<v Speaker 3>He started to do.

0:20:50.560 --> 0:20:54.480
<v Speaker 2>It, that is fair. I didn't necessarily see Kirk Cousins

0:20:54.520 --> 0:20:56.399
<v Speaker 2>with his shirt off and a gold chain around his

0:20:56.520 --> 0:21:01.120
<v Speaker 2>neck either. He continues to defy expectations. So at any

0:21:01.200 --> 0:21:05.280
<v Speaker 2>rate we're moving, it should be interesting to see. And

0:21:05.520 --> 0:21:08.280
<v Speaker 2>you know what, Panthers are wearing black helmets this week,

0:21:08.480 --> 0:21:11.119
<v Speaker 2>in case you didn't notice yesterday during practice when they

0:21:11.119 --> 0:21:15.520
<v Speaker 2>were playing a CDC's back in black. Yeah, that's how

0:21:15.560 --> 0:21:18.679
<v Speaker 2>that goes. In fact, and so the Atlanta Falcons are

0:21:18.720 --> 0:21:21.119
<v Speaker 2>coming here to Bank of America Stadium. They're wearing the

0:21:21.119 --> 0:21:24.280
<v Speaker 2>black helmets. You know what that means. I know the record,

0:21:24.400 --> 0:21:27.760
<v Speaker 2>good things happened for the good guys, so and and

0:21:27.760 --> 0:21:30.439
<v Speaker 2>and even I've looked at there there's no rain in

0:21:30.480 --> 0:21:32.600
<v Speaker 2>the forecast. I don't know how I'm gonna act with

0:21:32.640 --> 0:21:37.440
<v Speaker 2>the Falcons in here in black helmets and adults. So yeah, well,

0:21:38.640 --> 0:21:42.520
<v Speaker 2>you know what could possibly go wrong? Nothing, It's just

0:21:42.560 --> 0:21:45.640
<v Speaker 2>football at any rate. So we've talked about the football,

0:21:45.680 --> 0:21:48.720
<v Speaker 2>We've talked about the relief efforts coming up here in

0:21:48.760 --> 0:21:51.080
<v Speaker 2>the area, with the T shirts, with the concerts, all

0:21:51.080 --> 0:21:53.560
<v Speaker 2>that cool stuff. We got to go to the jukebox.

0:21:53.800 --> 0:21:56.320
<v Speaker 2>H to close this episode out, you had me listening

0:21:56.320 --> 0:21:59.240
<v Speaker 2>to Noah Khan Uh. Noah con is one of those dudes.

0:21:59.280 --> 0:22:03.719
<v Speaker 2>I think that in twenty years, I'm curious to know

0:22:03.960 --> 0:22:06.840
<v Speaker 2>whether his music is still known because it feels so

0:22:07.119 --> 0:22:09.399
<v Speaker 2>specific to a time and a place.

0:22:09.800 --> 0:22:12.600
<v Speaker 3>I think. I mentioned that last week he puts time

0:22:12.640 --> 0:22:14.520
<v Speaker 3>stamps on his songs, and I don't love that.

0:22:14.960 --> 0:22:18.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean, twenty years from now is a pandemic song

0:22:18.160 --> 0:22:21.280
<v Speaker 2>about loneliness and somebody leaving him gonna hold up. I

0:22:21.320 --> 0:22:24.320
<v Speaker 2>don't know. The context is so central to what that

0:22:24.480 --> 0:22:27.240
<v Speaker 2>song is all about that I wonder about. But it's

0:22:27.240 --> 0:22:29.239
<v Speaker 2>a catchy song, and it's you know, like a lot

0:22:29.240 --> 0:22:30.879
<v Speaker 2>of the songs that you and I end up picking.

0:22:30.920 --> 0:22:34.480
<v Speaker 2>It is well written, it is tight, it is catchy,

0:22:35.359 --> 0:22:38.040
<v Speaker 2>and everybody enjoys it. I do kind of wonder though,

0:22:38.080 --> 0:22:40.359
<v Speaker 2>And as I was scanning the lyrics, a lot of times.

0:22:40.600 --> 0:22:43.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm a super nerd. Sometimes I've sat and watched movies

0:22:43.760 --> 0:22:46.080
<v Speaker 2>with a copy of the script open beside me, so

0:22:46.119 --> 0:22:51.440
<v Speaker 2>I can read dialogue long yep, super nerd. But scanning

0:22:51.480 --> 0:22:54.159
<v Speaker 2>those lyrics, why you listen to that song you realize,

0:22:54.600 --> 0:22:58.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, it is artistically performed. I will give him that.

0:22:59.480 --> 0:23:01.080
<v Speaker 3>Wait, what is artistically performed?

0:23:01.080 --> 0:23:05.359
<v Speaker 2>I mean he's just got a there is a it

0:23:05.480 --> 0:23:09.040
<v Speaker 2>is bouncy in a way that it's hard to make

0:23:09.640 --> 0:23:12.399
<v Speaker 2>scripted words feel that way. Yes, but he's got a

0:23:12.400 --> 0:23:15.560
<v Speaker 2>certain syncopation about the way he sings. I enjoy it.

0:23:15.560 --> 0:23:19.560
<v Speaker 2>It is catchy. Here's a fun fact about Noah Khan. Okay,

0:23:19.720 --> 0:23:23.639
<v Speaker 2>Noah Khan was the nephew of a former doctor who

0:23:23.760 --> 0:23:27.240
<v Speaker 2>is a medical fellow here with the Carolina Panthers. Used

0:23:27.240 --> 0:23:29.640
<v Speaker 2>to be down in the training room with our friend

0:23:29.680 --> 0:23:31.879
<v Speaker 2>Kevin King and Katie and Karen and all our friends

0:23:31.920 --> 0:23:35.040
<v Speaker 2>down there, and Kevin said, yeah, he was talking to

0:23:35.119 --> 0:23:37.720
<v Speaker 2>us the other week. He's like, yeah, my nephew sings. Really,

0:23:37.760 --> 0:23:40.280
<v Speaker 2>it's your nephew. It's got no coln. Maybe you've heard

0:23:40.280 --> 0:23:42.600
<v Speaker 2>of him. And then a couple of years down the line,

0:23:42.680 --> 0:23:45.560
<v Speaker 2>it's like, oh, you mean that guy. He was huge.

0:23:45.840 --> 0:23:49.080
<v Speaker 3>Kevin is an avid listener of the Happy half Hour podcast,

0:23:49.600 --> 0:23:52.240
<v Speaker 3>and he stopped me in the hallway last a few

0:23:52.320 --> 0:23:55.159
<v Speaker 3>days ago and said, that song you made Darren listen to,

0:23:55.480 --> 0:23:57.560
<v Speaker 3>and he's like, guess who his relative is?

0:23:58.320 --> 0:24:03.000
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, it is something else. So I sentenced you

0:24:03.200 --> 0:24:06.680
<v Speaker 2>to another, another one of my upbeat numbers. Did I

0:24:07.200 --> 0:24:09.040
<v Speaker 2>make you listen to so often? Didn't? I?

0:24:09.920 --> 0:24:12.359
<v Speaker 3>You did? And I will say this is probably my

0:24:12.520 --> 0:24:16.520
<v Speaker 3>favorite one you've given me yet. I really really enjoyed it.

0:24:16.920 --> 0:24:20.040
<v Speaker 3>It's so funny too, considering how much Highwayman I listened

0:24:20.040 --> 0:24:23.199
<v Speaker 3>to growing up just because of my dad, that Chris

0:24:23.280 --> 0:24:25.760
<v Speaker 3>Christopherson as a musician is sort of a blind spot

0:24:25.840 --> 0:24:29.040
<v Speaker 3>for me. I know him more as Jennifer Aniston's dad

0:24:29.160 --> 0:24:33.520
<v Speaker 3>from the movie. He's just not that into you. But

0:24:33.720 --> 0:24:36.240
<v Speaker 3>I did look him up on Wikipedia. I just wanted to.

0:24:36.320 --> 0:24:38.080
<v Speaker 3>I was curious about a couple of things, and I

0:24:38.200 --> 0:24:41.720
<v Speaker 3>realized how many songs he wrote that he didn't sing

0:24:41.960 --> 0:24:45.680
<v Speaker 3>that are so popular me and Bobby McGhee Sunday Morning

0:24:45.760 --> 0:24:48.440
<v Speaker 3>coming Down. I thinks I know there's a couple of others,

0:24:49.359 --> 0:24:52.480
<v Speaker 3>But that being said, really really enjoyed this one from

0:24:52.560 --> 0:24:55.320
<v Speaker 3>the first notes, I could tell I was gonna love

0:24:55.359 --> 0:24:58.320
<v Speaker 3>it before he even He didn't even start by singing.

0:24:58.400 --> 0:25:01.960
<v Speaker 3>He started with spoken word like. From the first notes

0:25:02.040 --> 0:25:04.120
<v Speaker 3>of the song, I could tell, Oh, this is my jam.

0:25:04.880 --> 0:25:06.760
<v Speaker 3>And I've gone back and listened to it quite a

0:25:06.760 --> 0:25:09.440
<v Speaker 3>few times. I'm definitely going to add Chris Christopherson to

0:25:09.600 --> 0:25:12.359
<v Speaker 3>my need to listen to now. I was talking to

0:25:12.400 --> 0:25:14.840
<v Speaker 3>my dad about it too, because he's gotten very interested

0:25:14.840 --> 0:25:17.480
<v Speaker 3>in what songs were assigning each other each week. And

0:25:17.600 --> 0:25:19.320
<v Speaker 3>I said, yeah, this week, I'm listening to a Chris

0:25:19.400 --> 0:25:23.200
<v Speaker 3>Christofferson song. And he went on a full diatribe about

0:25:23.240 --> 0:25:27.120
<v Speaker 3>Chris Christopherson. It was it boiled down to the man

0:25:27.200 --> 0:25:31.080
<v Speaker 3>as a genius. He was a Rhodes scholar. Didn't know

0:25:31.240 --> 0:25:34.080
<v Speaker 3>that and according to my dad, one of the best

0:25:34.119 --> 0:25:36.280
<v Speaker 3>songwriters of the American generation.

0:25:36.359 --> 0:25:39.240
<v Speaker 2>No question about it. The day he died, I sent

0:25:39.359 --> 0:25:41.760
<v Speaker 2>you this and I was sitting around the house listening

0:25:42.280 --> 0:25:44.879
<v Speaker 2>and one of the lines, it's kind of the chorus

0:25:44.960 --> 0:25:47.520
<v Speaker 2>of the Pilgrim Chapter thirty three. He's a poet, he's

0:25:47.560 --> 0:25:50.280
<v Speaker 2>a picker, he's a prophet, he's a pusher. He's a

0:25:50.359 --> 0:25:53.040
<v Speaker 2>pilgrim and a preacher and a problem when he stoned.

0:25:53.440 --> 0:25:57.320
<v Speaker 2>He's a walking contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction, taking

0:25:57.400 --> 0:26:01.199
<v Speaker 2>every wrong direction on his lonely walk back. Yeah, if

0:26:01.280 --> 0:26:04.440
<v Speaker 2>I ever write a paragraph that good in my entire life,

0:26:04.840 --> 0:26:07.960
<v Speaker 2>I quit. I'm done. That's just gonna be Mike Drop.

0:26:09.119 --> 0:26:12.040
<v Speaker 2>It's been good, but I never will because things I

0:26:12.119 --> 0:26:16.760
<v Speaker 2>am not Rhodes scholar, former Army helicopter pilot. Legend of

0:26:16.840 --> 0:26:18.080
<v Speaker 2>the game. That's now.

0:26:18.160 --> 0:26:19.919
<v Speaker 3>Let me ask you real quick, did you figure out

0:26:19.960 --> 0:26:22.760
<v Speaker 3>which line from Stick Season that I said is one

0:26:22.840 --> 0:26:25.200
<v Speaker 3>of I just think it's such a good, well written line.

0:26:25.280 --> 0:26:28.399
<v Speaker 3>No tell me, it's so simple. It's like such a

0:26:28.480 --> 0:26:31.120
<v Speaker 3>small line, so simple you almost miss it. But there's

0:26:31.160 --> 0:26:34.000
<v Speaker 3>a line in the second verse that says you once

0:26:34.119 --> 0:26:36.360
<v Speaker 3>called me forever and now you still can't call me back.

0:26:37.160 --> 0:26:38.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I just think it's HiT's hard.

0:26:39.080 --> 0:26:40.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, when it's a little dichotomy.

0:26:40.720 --> 0:26:43.400
<v Speaker 2>And when I saw no Kan at the festival here

0:26:43.440 --> 0:26:45.640
<v Speaker 2>back in the spring, he h he kind of dark.

0:26:46.119 --> 0:26:49.320
<v Speaker 2>He his his music comes from a dark place. So

0:26:49.920 --> 0:26:52.320
<v Speaker 2>that's why going into this week, I'm gonna cheer it

0:26:52.440 --> 0:26:54.920
<v Speaker 2>up a little bit. I have held I have held

0:26:54.960 --> 0:26:57.879
<v Speaker 2>off thus far. On the Happy Half Hour Jukebox uh,

0:26:58.040 --> 0:27:01.160
<v Speaker 2>probably for too long. My favorite live act that I've

0:27:01.240 --> 0:27:03.359
<v Speaker 2>ever seen, and I've probably only seen him about nine

0:27:03.480 --> 0:27:06.280
<v Speaker 2>or ten times now, is Frank Turner. You've heard me

0:27:06.400 --> 0:27:09.120
<v Speaker 2>talk about him, You've heard our friend Rob Demofsky talk

0:27:09.160 --> 0:27:12.800
<v Speaker 2>about him a lot. Frank Turner is one of the

0:27:12.880 --> 0:27:15.200
<v Speaker 2>best live acts. You are never going to get cheated

0:27:15.240 --> 0:27:16.880
<v Speaker 2>out of your money when you go to a Frank show.

0:27:16.920 --> 0:27:19.159
<v Speaker 2>You're going to sing, You're going to dance and have

0:27:19.280 --> 0:27:22.440
<v Speaker 2>a big old time you Cassiy Hill. This week, listen

0:27:22.520 --> 0:27:26.359
<v Speaker 2>to Frank Turner's I Still believe. It is an anthem

0:27:26.560 --> 0:27:28.720
<v Speaker 2>about the power of music and what it can do

0:27:28.840 --> 0:27:31.920
<v Speaker 2>for people in communities. So go listen to that and

0:27:32.080 --> 0:27:32.600
<v Speaker 2>be happy.

0:27:33.320 --> 0:27:36.159
<v Speaker 3>I'm all about being happy. So funny that that's the

0:27:36.240 --> 0:27:39.040
<v Speaker 3>direction you went, because I went with a happier song

0:27:39.119 --> 0:27:44.159
<v Speaker 3>this week too, So Tocado. We're actually going to go

0:27:44.200 --> 0:27:46.639
<v Speaker 3>back to my girl Tay. We've gone away from her

0:27:46.680 --> 0:27:49.960
<v Speaker 3>for a few weeks here. I think you'll appreciate this

0:27:50.080 --> 0:27:52.919
<v Speaker 3>one because it is She has an album called Folklore

0:27:53.160 --> 0:27:58.640
<v Speaker 3>that's a lot less autobiography autobiographical, and it's more storytelling

0:28:00.000 --> 0:28:02.919
<v Speaker 3>a song that is actually a true story. You can

0:28:02.960 --> 0:28:05.639
<v Speaker 3>go look up the people involved. Anyways, it's called the

0:28:05.800 --> 0:28:07.400
<v Speaker 3>last Great American Dynasty.

0:28:07.960 --> 0:28:11.399
<v Speaker 2>I asked, Great American dynasty, and that's not about Appalachian

0:28:11.440 --> 0:28:12.080
<v Speaker 2>State football.

0:28:12.840 --> 0:28:14.879
<v Speaker 3>Well, I guess it could be applied in many ways,

0:28:15.960 --> 0:28:18.560
<v Speaker 3>but yeah, it's it's a like I said, it's based

0:28:18.600 --> 0:28:21.919
<v Speaker 3>on a true story, based on real people, relevance. Everything

0:28:22.000 --> 0:28:24.520
<v Speaker 3>in the song was based on real evans. And she

0:28:24.760 --> 0:28:31.520
<v Speaker 3>uses a little an old country songwriting tactic. She kind

0:28:31.560 --> 0:28:34.159
<v Speaker 3>of pulled it out for this song that gives it

0:28:34.200 --> 0:28:35.439
<v Speaker 3>a nice little fun twist.

0:28:35.600 --> 0:28:37.000
<v Speaker 2>So it is biographical.

0:28:37.280 --> 0:28:41.240
<v Speaker 3>It's biographical, but not autobiographical. But actually this one kind

0:28:41.280 --> 0:28:43.120
<v Speaker 3>of is too, but I don't want to give it away.

0:28:43.240 --> 0:28:46.920
<v Speaker 2>I guess they're all biographical about somebody. That's true unless

0:28:46.920 --> 0:28:47.400
<v Speaker 2>you just made up.

0:28:47.960 --> 0:28:49.600
<v Speaker 3>Well, and now that I say that too, I guess

0:28:49.640 --> 0:28:52.600
<v Speaker 3>this one is also kind of autobiographical. But again, I

0:28:52.600 --> 0:28:54.640
<v Speaker 3>don't go listen to it. I'm not saying too much.

0:28:54.800 --> 0:28:57.840
<v Speaker 2>We'll listen to the songs. We'll be happy, We'll help

0:28:57.880 --> 0:29:00.560
<v Speaker 2>our neighbors out because that's what you do. And we

0:29:00.680 --> 0:29:03.440
<v Speaker 2>will see you next week on the Happy half Hour
