Speaker 1: Hi, this is Dewey Jenkins. When the team that manages
Speaker 1: our Morris Jenkins website told me the most often asked
Speaker 1: question is who is Mr Jenkins married too? You could
Speaker 1: have knocked me over with a feather. I went home
Speaker 1: and told my wife that I was so surprised that
Speaker 1: I didn't know what to say. She laughed and said, honey,
Speaker 1: my name is Renee. So now you know the team
Speaker 1: at Morris Jenkins and I are here for the Panthers,
Speaker 1: and we're here for you too, whenever you need us.
Speaker 1: It's time for a Happy half Hour with your friends
Speaker 1: Kristin Balboni, Miles Simmons, and Will Bryan. That's right, it's
Speaker 1: that time of the week. It's the Happy half Hour
Speaker 1: podcast presented by Morris Jenkins. And Mr Jenkins told me
Speaker 1: that he loves football and he looks forward to this
Speaker 1: show a week. When you're plumbing or air conditioning is
Speaker 1: acting up, called Morris Jenkins or visit Morris Jenkins dot
Speaker 1: com and uh Will. Normally we call this the Happy
Speaker 1: half Hour, and that is the name of the podcast,
Speaker 1: but this week's edition we're going to call it the
Speaker 1: Sad Half Hour because Miles is not joining us. He
Speaker 1: announced that he is moving on from the Panthers. He
Speaker 1: made that announcement on Twitter yesterday, and we are very
Speaker 1: excited for him, but sad that we won't have him
Speaker 1: here here anymore. And uh, you know, sad to get
Speaker 1: to hear um that we won't get to hear all
Speaker 1: the things that Mr Jenkins told him going forward, but
Speaker 1: very excited for him in his next steps exactly. And
Speaker 1: I don't know if we ever became official friends. Remember
Speaker 1: that that's been going on for six seven months now.
Speaker 1: I don't know how that ended. Were we friends? Well,
Speaker 1: if you don't know how it ended, I hate to say,
Speaker 1: Oh it is the sad half hour producer, Matt, what
Speaker 1: do you think did they become friends? We didn't hear
Speaker 1: it from Miles, and Miles usually would go the other way.
Speaker 1: When Will or you would have an opinion, he would
Speaker 1: like to go the other way. So if one thinks
Speaker 1: that they're friends, and they're probably not, do you think
Speaker 1: that you had something to do with it? Maybe the
Speaker 1: fact that you weren't friends. Know, maybe I need to
Speaker 1: I need to do some some inner thing reflection. Um. No, Miles,
Speaker 1: Miles is a great friend to us all and we're
Speaker 1: excited for him. We're certainly going to miss him. Um,
Speaker 1: But you know, we do the segment on the Happy
Speaker 1: half Hour called Overheard where we would take the best
Speaker 1: soundbites from the week from whether it's Coach Rule or
Speaker 1: some of the players, and we thought, in honor of
Speaker 1: Miles departure from the Happy Half Hour podcast, we would
Speaker 1: give him his own special segment of Overheard. So, Matt,
Speaker 1: roll it you hear something overheard? Christ And do you
Speaker 1: ever watch Rick and Morty? No, I've never seen it.
Speaker 1: It's on my list, it's on my list. All right. Well,
Speaker 1: there's basically a plot point in the show where there's
Speaker 1: basically infinite dimensions, infinite realities, and so basically in another reality.
Speaker 1: I have already seen this game, and so essentially I
Speaker 1: could be from another reality and like saying, it's reality
Speaker 1: four four six, right, and now this is reality three
Speaker 1: three four Now four four six Miles could come in
Speaker 1: and replace three three four miles and you would never know,
Speaker 1: but you could maybe figure it out because four four
Speaker 1: six Miles has seen this game. We'll see if we've
Speaker 1: got four four six miles and will Um, I think
Speaker 1: I just completely derailed this podcast. I would just start
Speaker 1: by saying this. I mean, do you ever feel like
Speaker 1: a plastic bag drifting through the wind when Katie? Of course, um,
Speaker 1: you know, do you ever feel already buried deep six
Speaker 1: ft under? No one seems to hear a thing. Um.
Speaker 1: I don't even remember what the question was. I just
Speaker 1: that we started talking about fireworks and the song came
Speaker 1: into my head. Are you a Katy Perry fan? Oh?
Speaker 1: Heck yeah's got bangers? Man? There's this busting dynamic stuff.
Speaker 1: Do you know what the things that these people are
Speaker 1: doing with these robots? These a little dog, you know
Speaker 1: air quote, these dog robots that can walk around and
Speaker 1: open doors and then they sense where these other things are.
Speaker 1: The robots are going to take over things. Okay, have
Speaker 1: you guys are seeing artificial intelligence? See these movies? I
Speaker 1: am robots. No, I don't want anything. I don't want
Speaker 1: any part of that. I want no part of that.
Speaker 1: I you know, I do not want anybody to use
Speaker 1: their job. But I think that the people who in
Speaker 1: Boston Dynamics could be working on some other things that
Speaker 1: could improve our lives more than little robot dogs. I
Speaker 1: don't want those robot dogs. Let's refocus what they can
Speaker 1: be doing all right, because I know I'm I'm not
Speaker 1: into the robot stuff. I don't want to robot butler.
Speaker 1: I don't want the robots that I don't have an
Speaker 1: Alexa or anything in my house either, because I don't
Speaker 1: want them listening to my conversations. Because I know that
Speaker 1: whenever I searched something, I was talking to somebody about
Speaker 1: Outback Steakhouse on on Instagram and a d M or
Speaker 1: something together day or maybe it was in a text,
Speaker 1: I don't know. But next thing I know, I've got
Speaker 1: out Back advertising itself to me on Instagram. The robots
Speaker 1: have enough. Oh and that conversation has fris went on
Speaker 1: for longer and longer. We just had to fade it out.
Speaker 1: Oh that was great that Uh little did we know
Speaker 1: at that point all of the strong opinions that Myles
Speaker 1: held about mustard Mustard was the worst Disney. We love you, Miles,
Speaker 1: but the mustard on the hot dogs vests best. You
Speaker 1: had some strong opinion about vest. Uh yeah, pretty much everything.
Speaker 1: I mean, you just said something, you would just say
Speaker 1: something in a word let him. We are going to
Speaker 1: miss that, Miles. We wish you the best. We're going
Speaker 1: to miss those incredible takes on literally everything from from
Speaker 1: robots to hot dogs, kept it interesting coasters. I hope
Speaker 1: that in his his new venture that he doesn't have
Speaker 1: to worry about too many robots or electronic things listening
Speaker 1: to him, but butlers the womb speech from SpongeBob that
Speaker 1: he seemed he quoted that like two tons yea. Hopefully
Speaker 1: lots of karaoke in his future. Yeah he's got Oh Miles,
Speaker 1: we love you. We are so happy for you, but
Speaker 1: for us. This is the Happy Half Hour podcast presented
Speaker 1: by Morris Jenkins and Mr Jenkins told me his plumbers
Speaker 1: an A. C Tex, secretly wear Panthers jerseys under their uniforms.
Speaker 1: When you're plumbing or air conditioning is acting up? Call
Speaker 1: Morris Jenkins or visit Morris Jenkins dot com. All right,
Speaker 1: we got a game courtesy of Will Brian. No surprise there.
Speaker 1: You always have the best, most creative games, and I
Speaker 1: really like this one. It's called the what If Game.
Speaker 1: It's been a weird season. It's you know, starting with
Speaker 1: covid um and having that trickle down to to everything else.
Speaker 1: And so I thought i'd let you explain what this is.
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess it's self explained or what you know,
Speaker 1: And we're not we're not trying to to rewrite things.
Speaker 1: But I do think it's interesting when you have all
Speaker 1: of these close games, when you have just stuff that
Speaker 1: just feels everything feels a little weird, a little bit
Speaker 1: off to to. Like I always used to love reading
Speaker 1: kind of historical fiction of what if Kennedy hadn't been shot?
Speaker 1: You know, what if someone else was elected president or
Speaker 1: you know, what if this event didn't happen or did
Speaker 1: happen um and how things would change like a butterfly effect,
Speaker 1: one little tiny thing exactly, you know, And and I
Speaker 1: think it's a cool creative exercise of like, alright, so
Speaker 1: then what are the next equivalent steps of something else happening?
Speaker 1: So I don't know. Okay, so we each have what
Speaker 1: if questions for each other and we don't know what
Speaker 1: they are. Now. I didn't go all past I just
Speaker 1: took it as what if, and then I started I
Speaker 1: started brainstorming. So we'll see you. I have no idea
Speaker 1: what you're gonna say, and you have no idea what
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say. Do you want to start off first? Okay,
Speaker 1: what if COVID and all the things involved with COVID
Speaker 1: had happened ten years ago, before video conferencing, before all
Speaker 1: the technology that we used over the summer for virtual
Speaker 1: training camps, for all the things that you do that
Speaker 1: we did this year that you know, bugs apping machinery,
Speaker 1: these you know air zapp germs apping machines that we had, Like,
Speaker 1: what if that had happened ten years ago? So ten
Speaker 1: years ago, two thousand and ten. It's not that I
Speaker 1: was gonna say something about fax machines, but it's not
Speaker 1: We're not that far back. There was still I'm was
Speaker 1: doing some form of video conferencing, right, and we still
Speaker 1: had high speed internet ten years ago. Yeah, I guess
Speaker 1: Skype had just started, but you know Twitter was only
Speaker 1: a year old. Do you think they would have played
Speaker 1: a football season if it had happened? I I really
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, obviously that the next year was
Speaker 1: the um you know, was kind of the the off
Speaker 1: season strike in two thousand eleven, But you know, I
Speaker 1: I wonder it certainly would have been you know, what
Speaker 1: do you do as a coaching staff, what do you
Speaker 1: do as an organization if everyone has to be home,
Speaker 1: you know, in a time before you can really be
Speaker 1: connected the way that we are now. It's a great point.
Speaker 1: And you know, we were talking Matt and I were
Speaker 1: talking with David Linton, our executive producer last week of
Speaker 1: just you know, how much work from home has changed,
Speaker 1: you know, for all of us. And that doesn't affect
Speaker 1: the football season, but we feel like we've all been
Speaker 1: able to because we were forced to, um, those of
Speaker 1: us who are lucky enough to to be employed, and
Speaker 1: UM right now that we've been able to make that work,
Speaker 1: especially over the off season when everyone was at home,
Speaker 1: and you know, I broadcasted in a lot of different
Speaker 1: ways that I didn't think I was going to. UM,
Speaker 1: people just really changed. So I imagine there would be
Speaker 1: that same innovation ten years ago, because it's not twenty
Speaker 1: years ago or thirty years ago. But I mean I
Speaker 1: didn't know what a zoom was until March. Have you
Speaker 1: said the word zoom to me? Like? Is that like
Speaker 1: the skype? Like? You know, So it's just we're very lucky, UM,
Speaker 1: lucky the wrong word. But we have the technology now
Speaker 1: to mitigate or help along UM, a lot of the
Speaker 1: things that we need to get done. And you know,
Speaker 1: as as tough as all of this has been from
Speaker 1: a football perspective or just from a working perspective in general.
Speaker 1: It's it's been really neat to see the way that
Speaker 1: that things have still been able to get done, um,
Speaker 1: even without always getting to be in person. So uh,
Speaker 1: here's mine, Um, maybe not as as um as all
Speaker 1: encompassing as yours. What if Joey Slis kick in the
Speaker 1: New Orleans game had gone let's say, one two yards
Speaker 1: farther and he said an NFL record And I'm not
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that at all about Joey's I thought
Speaker 1: that kick was incredible and it was it was so
Speaker 1: close to setting an NFL record, and and you know,
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone wanted him to be out there
Speaker 1: having to do that in that situation. Um, But I
Speaker 1: just think the team would be talked about differently right now.
Speaker 1: You know, it's a it's a game of inches, and
Speaker 1: that kick was so close, and he was so close
Speaker 1: to doing something that no one had ever done before.
Speaker 1: And I think that that's an accomplishment in itself, that
Speaker 1: it went that long and that's straight um, and he
Speaker 1: was this close. But I think that changes the narrative
Speaker 1: around this team. And in reality, it's just one play
Speaker 1: that was a couple of yards short, and I think
Speaker 1: people would be talking about this team differently, you know.
Speaker 1: And we we brought this up, I think a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks ago when we were talking about like game
Speaker 1: changing plays or you know, plays that really stood out
Speaker 1: to us. And um, I think Miles brought it up
Speaker 1: that you know, well New Orleans still had time left
Speaker 1: acually come back. But that's still agree with that because
Speaker 1: I also think that hitting that field goal for that record,
Speaker 1: with the way that that momentum would have Like, I
Speaker 1: felt like there would have been a lot of momentum
Speaker 1: and a lot of juice on that sideline for hitting
Speaker 1: that field goal. And you know, you never know, like
Speaker 1: I think, you know, maybe that defense comes out there
Speaker 1: and they're they're really revved up. Maybe they get a
Speaker 1: turnover and go into take the lead, you know, go
Speaker 1: into overtime, you really have some momentum. Like I I
Speaker 1: do think that there's something about playing in the Superdome,
Speaker 1: you know, playing at New Orleans the way New Orleans
Speaker 1: is playing right now, and to be able to take
Speaker 1: them to that, you know, I I really think it
Speaker 1: would have, um, it would have meant something in a
Speaker 1: lot of people's eyes, especially on put on that team
Speaker 1: as well, and I just think he was so close
Speaker 1: to setting a record. And you know, if the field
Speaker 1: goal had been sixty three yards, you know, he would
Speaker 1: have done something incredible. And um, I wish he had
Speaker 1: gotten the chance to have that recognition because it was
Speaker 1: a great kick. I mean, you know, you talk about kicks,
Speaker 1: and you know I'm not going to hopefully not steal
Speaker 1: another one, but like if if the Kansas City kick
Speaker 1: had been inside, I mean, my goodness, he probably gonna
Speaker 1: hit that through seventy. I think I think something's coming. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think something's coming. And you know, Matt Role said,
Speaker 1: we don't, like I said a minute ago, we don't
Speaker 1: want to have to put him out there in those
Speaker 1: situations to attempt to a potential record breakers. But I
Speaker 1: think something's coming. Um, we'll see, all right, your your turn.
Speaker 1: What if Teddy Bridgewater hadn't been able to return to
Speaker 1: that Falcons game, I don't even know what to say.
Speaker 1: I mean, thank goodness he's he's healthy, but um, we
Speaker 1: would have learned a lot more about p J. Walker.
Speaker 1: What do you think what happened? I think that I
Speaker 1: like the I mean, obviously they haven't won these games,
Speaker 1: these close games. But there's something about what Mike Davis
Speaker 1: said after that game against what guys said after the
Speaker 1: Kansas City game on that fourth and fourteen run. There's
Speaker 1: something about the way that this team is really rallying
Speaker 1: for Teddy even when they've lost four in a row.
Speaker 1: It's there are very few teams in the NFL that
Speaker 1: feel the same way I think this Panthers team does
Speaker 1: after losing four in a row. Right now, they are
Speaker 1: not like they're that's not their personality at all, Like
Speaker 1: they're they should have won, should have won. They're angry, yes,
Speaker 1: um and and Matt Rule has said that's what he wants.
Speaker 1: He wants them to play with this edge exactly. So
Speaker 1: I think I think him coming back in, you know,
Speaker 1: obviously there's a whole narrative of what we would have seen,
Speaker 1: what could have happened with p J, good or bad.
Speaker 1: But I think the fact that he, you know, when
Speaker 1: he did come back in that said a lot to
Speaker 1: his teammates, and that's continued a narrative I think larger
Speaker 1: than just the building of man Teddy is tough. Well,
Speaker 1: he was. His official status was questionable and and usually
Speaker 1: when you're questionable, and I thought, okay, well he's you know,
Speaker 1: clear concussion protocol. If he go back to it, we
Speaker 1: got the the statusy clear concussion protocol. But he's questionable
Speaker 1: with the neck injury. And so we we see p J.
Speaker 1: Walker go out there for not neck injury. I don't
Speaker 1: say it. Sore neck is a better way to put it.
Speaker 1: Um got to hit there. Um, we see p J.
Speaker 1: Walker come out there, and then like three plays later,
Speaker 1: Teddy's like, no, I'm going in, like give me the gloves.
Speaker 1: It's it's awesome. Um, all right, what if the Panthers
Speaker 1: win their next three games? Because look, Tampa Bay at home,
Speaker 1: I'm that's gonna be I don't care what Tampa Bay
Speaker 1: looks like. Um against the Saints, that's going to be
Speaker 1: a tough game, no doubt about it. But it could
Speaker 1: happen the way this team is playing. Look at what
Speaker 1: they did in Kansas City. Then you go versus the
Speaker 1: Lions were three and five, and at the Vikings, who
Speaker 1: were three and five. We've seen them win three games
Speaker 1: in a row earlier this season. What if they win
Speaker 1: their next three games, I mean six and six, and
Speaker 1: then you're looking around and you know, I don't know
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay schedule, but you know, obviously they would be
Speaker 1: six and four if Carolina wins this week. You know,
Speaker 1: if they stumble a little bit more, all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: that's the bye two. If you get to that. If
Speaker 1: you if you get to the bye and all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, you start looking around and other teams start
Speaker 1: getting banged up or you know, for various reasons, drop
Speaker 1: a game here, drop a game there. You know, they're
Speaker 1: the Saints look very very good. But you look at
Speaker 1: the rest of the NFC. Everyone has some issues, you know,
Speaker 1: Green Base, I mean, Seattle lost last week. I mean,
Speaker 1: there are a lot of teams that aren't you know,
Speaker 1: gettable in certain ways. I mean, and yeah, I think
Speaker 1: that's That's part of the whole thing with this is
Speaker 1: Matt Rule said coming into this year he wants to
Speaker 1: be the best twelve and four team we can be.
Speaker 1: I've said this, you know, he wants to be the
Speaker 1: best eight and eight team. We could be the best
Speaker 1: three and thirteen team we could be. I mean, I
Speaker 1: think people, I mean literally NFL dot Com has said
Speaker 1: today that we're definitely the best three and six team
Speaker 1: out there, you know, And and that's I think that's
Speaker 1: saying something about this coaching staff, about the players they
Speaker 1: put together. But yeah, I mean six and six going
Speaker 1: to the buy, I'll take it. Well, it goes back
Speaker 1: to that UM playing with that edge and that this
Speaker 1: team being upset. They don't think they should be three
Speaker 1: and six, So we'll see if that translates. I think
Speaker 1: they have I think they have um the potential to
Speaker 1: beat any team on their schedule on on any given
Speaker 1: Sunday or Thursday or whatever you wanna call it. So
Speaker 1: I'm I'm interested. I can't wait to watch these next
Speaker 1: three games. I think it's entirely possible. You're up next.
Speaker 1: So I mean, this one's almost People are probably surprised
Speaker 1: it took us this along for this one, But like,
Speaker 1: what if Christian McCaffrey had played all nine games so far.
Speaker 1: I don't want to say this because I don't think
Speaker 1: that it UM. I don't think there's a cause and
Speaker 1: a correlation to it. But how many what's the number
Speaker 1: of games? Um? The record of the Panthers in the
Speaker 1: last what is it eleven games that he's played. I
Speaker 1: think it's so in eleven. Yeah, I know there's a
Speaker 1: streak and that has nothing to do with him in
Speaker 1: the end zone, giving it his all every game. But
Speaker 1: I think that it's tough to say for me personally
Speaker 1: that if he's there, uh, the outcome changes, because I
Speaker 1: think that's a narrative that people want to use to
Speaker 1: say that he should come back earlier than he's healthy. Right.
Speaker 1: But I also think the flip side of it is
Speaker 1: people are using that they're using that. I mean, as
Speaker 1: if the three games this year and obviously last year,
Speaker 1: I think you can just throw out the window. But
Speaker 1: as if the three games this year are some sort
Speaker 1: of near, you know, uh, referendum on whether or not
Speaker 1: he's worth what he's worth, or he's worth investing in,
Speaker 1: or that he's not the best player, I mean, he
Speaker 1: absolutely is. I love Mike Davis. We need Mike Davis,
Speaker 1: We need Reggie Bonifon out there. We need all the
Speaker 1: people that we can have out on the field because
Speaker 1: that makes us better. And I think that obviously showed.
Speaker 1: I mean, you have you have an opportunity to come
Speaker 1: down and potentially take the lead, and she was on
Speaker 1: the sideline because you know he gotten banged up again
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. Um, I just think that you
Speaker 1: want all of your best players out there, and he's
Speaker 1: one of the best players in the NFL. Oh absolutely, absolutely,
Speaker 1: I think that. Um. I I just think he's an
Speaker 1: incredible player and I feel for him. Whatever we hear
Speaker 1: about um you know, his shoulder and coming off of
Speaker 1: that game, that's a tough one. Why are you throwing
Speaker 1: out these philosophical don't worry. My next one is my
Speaker 1: last one, and it's it's it's much better. Okay, Oh man,
Speaker 1: I have I have to that. I really want to
Speaker 1: get to do do both of yours. Okay, what do
Speaker 1: you if the NFL haok on the bubble route like
Speaker 1: that one? Just in general? I don't even just in general?
Speaker 1: How do you think that changes things? I mean, I
Speaker 1: know the reasons why they couldn't, just because of you know,
Speaker 1: but that's not the game. I know it's not. You're
Speaker 1: asking me what do I partytive Christian McCaffrey is healthy.
Speaker 1: I know so. I I think that I think it
Speaker 1: would have been very interesting. You think we have different standings,
Speaker 1: different wins when losses. I can't tell what they would be,
Speaker 1: but obviously, I mean, you think about the Titans, you
Speaker 1: think about Cam Newton missing games with COVID. I mean
Speaker 1: you think about I think it's an obvious factor that
Speaker 1: being in a bubble. The NBA showed being in a
Speaker 1: bubble means you don't get COVID almost you know, none
Speaker 1: of them did so, I you know, maybe it would
Speaker 1: have happened still, but it certainly would have been far
Speaker 1: less than what actually has happened. And you know, as
Speaker 1: much as injuries happened in the NFL, you just hate
Speaker 1: it for teams that you know, like who's it? I
Speaker 1: mean Ben Roethlisberger this week, I mean just what like
Speaker 1: he was on the close contact right, but you know,
Speaker 1: potentially at least missing a day or two or whatever
Speaker 1: it might be that you know, he's not doing his
Speaker 1: usual routine, you know, I mean you think you think
Speaker 1: about how much that throws off NFL teams, But then
Speaker 1: you think about being in a bubble for four months.
Speaker 1: You know it's well, that's the thing. Would the season
Speaker 1: structure be different? Would there be maybe a shorter regular
Speaker 1: season and a more expand maybe because I don't think
Speaker 1: you can change the weekly schedule. I just as a teach,
Speaker 1: just such a it's just such a physical game that
Speaker 1: you see that Thursday turnaround. I don't think you can
Speaker 1: shorten it. That's a good point, though maybe it's maybe
Speaker 1: it's different or something. All Right, my last one, because
Speaker 1: I know you've got a good one to end us on.
Speaker 1: What if you didn't get your internship with the Panthers
Speaker 1: all those years ago, I wouldn't be here, You don't
Speaker 1: think so, I really don't you ever think about that?
Speaker 1: Not to get to I mean, we're definitely in the
Speaker 1: philosophical place you started this off with, like what if
Speaker 1: JFK hadn't been assassinated? But ever think about like one
Speaker 1: little thing that's led you to completely the point that
Speaker 1: you are now. I don't know if I've ever shared
Speaker 1: it on this UM, but the several months after my
Speaker 1: internship UM, when I was looking for the next thing,
Speaker 1: I ended up going to New York for an interview.
Speaker 1: I feel like a grat assistant ship. I ended up
Speaker 1: at St. John's, but it was between me and somebody
Speaker 1: else and that other person interviewed in the morning. I
Speaker 1: had a flight into LaGuardia to flight back out at
Speaker 1: like seven, you know, for an afternoon interview, and it
Speaker 1: is a huge storm rolled through and flight was delayed
Speaker 1: till the next day and I'm like, what do I do?
Speaker 1: And the person that was interviewing me was like, oh,
Speaker 1: just stay on my couch, let's go out. You ever
Speaker 1: been in Manhattan? And so he just took me out
Speaker 1: in Manhattan and was like, you're cool, You're hired, and
Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of unfair. But it's also like
Speaker 1: you think of the things that that end up just
Speaker 1: being chance occurrences that you, you know, you try to
Speaker 1: take advantage of because you never know what what may
Speaker 1: or may not fall your direction and end up getting
Speaker 1: the position. Well, And that's that's the reality of it.
Speaker 1: So much of my career and yours is you know,
Speaker 1: we try our hardest, we try to put ourselves in
Speaker 1: the best positions that we can, but a lot of
Speaker 1: it sometimes has happenstance and and luck and being in
Speaker 1: the right place at the right time, and that's that
Speaker 1: goes for everybody. I just thought, I thought I'd throw
Speaker 1: that one in for you. All right, what's what's your
Speaker 1: last one? What if it was all a dream? What?
Speaker 1: And I still read word up magazine with salt and
Speaker 1: pepper and heavy d in the limousine. Did myles come
Speaker 1: back in? Usually it's miles about that I love it.
Speaker 1: I love it nothing like a little before we started,
Speaker 1: and I had no idea what he was talking about.
Speaker 1: So he just said that, and there was like an
Speaker 1: I continue, I didn't know what you think. You don't know,
Speaker 1: he doesn't know, juicy, I felt young something. All right,
Speaker 1: we're gonna leave that right there. Let's take a quick
Speaker 1: break and we will be back after this. Hi, this
Speaker 1: is Dewey Jenkins. When the team that manages our Morris
Speaker 1: Jenkins website told me the most often asked question is
Speaker 1: who is Mr Jenkins married too, you could have knocked
Speaker 1: me over with a feather. I went home and told
Speaker 1: my wife that I was so surprised that I didn't
Speaker 1: know what to say. She laughed and said, honey, my
Speaker 1: name is Renee. So now you know the team at
Speaker 1: Morris Jenkins and I are here for the Panthers, and
Speaker 1: we're here for you too, whenever you need us. All right,
Speaker 1: we're back on the Happy Half Hour podcast really quickly.
Speaker 1: Let's just take a quick look at this Sunday's game
Speaker 1: with Tampa Bay. Um. We saw the Bucks get embarrassed
Speaker 1: against the Saints. Will Matt, how angry do you think
Speaker 1: Tom Brady will be coming into this game, and how
Speaker 1: much does that really matter? Is that a media narrative
Speaker 1: like a mad Tom Brady. I mean, it's definitely a
Speaker 1: median narrative. And as coach Role said, there's a mad
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater on the other side too, there's a mad
Speaker 1: defense on this Panthers side. But you know, we saw
Speaker 1: this is the second time the Panthers have played Brady
Speaker 1: after losing to the Saints. It happened a week too.
Speaker 1: They played the Saints in Week one, and so this
Speaker 1: is the second time that's happened. The only other game
Speaker 1: that Tampa Bay lost this yere was to Chicago. Next
Speaker 1: week they went out and destroyed Green Bay. So I mean, sure,
Speaker 1: there's some statistical correlations, if you want to call it.
Speaker 1: There's some narrative out there, but I'm less worried about
Speaker 1: that than I am about this Buck's defense. I mean,
Speaker 1: that defensive front. You know, they you know, obviously it
Speaker 1: might not be exactly the same look, the same stuff,
Speaker 1: the same people as as week two. But they sack
Speaker 1: Teddy bridge War five times four turnovers. For the Panthers,
Speaker 1: they're very good. They lead the league in UM in
Speaker 1: defensive run allowed run you run your rush yards allowed,
Speaker 1: second in sacks. I can impressure's first in takeaways. I
Speaker 1: mean that, That's what I'm looking at. That's a great point. Um.
Speaker 1: This is a home game, and if the Panthers get
Speaker 1: a third down stop in the third quarter during a
Speaker 1: home game, one lucky fan will win a smart home
Speaker 1: smoke and carbon monoxide detector through the Morse Jenkins Protect
Speaker 1: and Check sweepstakes. If the Panthers get a fourth down
Speaker 1: stop in the fourth quarter, that same fan will also
Speaker 1: be going home with a fifteen hundred dollar gift cards.

Speaker 1: Question of the Week. You're weird, You're weird guy. All Right,
Speaker 1: we're going to close it out with the weird question
Speaker 1: of the week. Yesterday was Teddy Bridgewater's birthday turned twenty,
Speaker 1: I believe, so in honor of that, what is the
Speaker 1: best cake flavor you're gonna birthday cake? What do you want?

Speaker 1: yellow cake or like what are we talking about? Just

Speaker 1: me and simple. Maybe chocolate icing if I mean I've
Speaker 1: had the it's like four or five layer chocolate cake
Speaker 1: where it's like the very very thin chocolate icing between
Speaker 1: the between the layers, and then obviously like chocolatesing on top.
Speaker 1: I mean, just chocolate. Give me chocolate sounds delicious. I
Speaker 1: would go ice cream cake. Or I have someone in
Speaker 1: my family that makes this incredible homemade strawberry cake with
Speaker 1: strawberry I think. I know that sounds crazy, but it's
Speaker 1: no make It's like a sugar bomb and it's the
Speaker 1: best thing I've ever eaten. Yeah, it's good because then
Speaker 1: you don't want to eat all of it. You can
Speaker 1: say there's no way. Yeah, I always take some home, right,
Speaker 1: But sometimes there's that there's that level of it's not
