Speaker 1: This week on the Happy Half Hour.
Speaker 2: This may arguably be the most tough outing that they
Speaker 2: will have had all year. Eagles defense Pancers offense. I'm
Speaker 2: really interested to see because Bryce the past three weeks
Speaker 2: has handled not only blitz but pressures so much better.
Speaker 2: What does he look like when Jalen Carter and Nolan
Speaker 2: Smith are bearing down on him? You guys that he's
Speaker 2: faced before. By the way, what's.
Speaker 1: It? It's time for the Happy Half Hour with your
Speaker 1: friends Darren Ghent and Cassidy Hill. All right, hello friends,
Speaker 1: it is time for yet another edition of the Happy
Speaker 1: Half Hour. We got all kinds of stuff to talk about,
Speaker 1: including that horn flourish that cast you. We'll break that
Speaker 1: down later. If we're gonna do our own sound effects,
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a lot of problems, Matt, a lot
Speaker 1: of problems.
Speaker 2: I do my own stunts.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but anyway, this is the Happy Half Hour by
Speaker 1: Southern Star and official Bourbon partner The Carolina Panthers celebrate
Speaker 1: the spirit of the Carolinas, and for the second week
Speaker 1: in a row, they all most had something real.
Speaker 2: To sell post. Well you know what they say, if
Speaker 2: wishes and hopes were oh wait, dang, what is the phrase, if.
Speaker 1: My aunt had huyos, she'd be a wagon.
Speaker 2: No, it's like if if some butts were wishes and butts,
Speaker 2: we'd all have a Merry.
Speaker 1: Christmas candy and nuts.
Speaker 2: Close enough.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. So anyway, that's where we are.
Speaker 1: Panthers losing overtime to the Buccaneers. Uh. Coming on the
Speaker 1: heels of Panthers lose on the last second, You'll go
Speaker 1: to the Kansas City Chiefs and and things feel different
Speaker 1: than the record would indicate.
Speaker 2: They feel different, and that is indicated by the fact
Speaker 2: that this loss hurt yeap, Like the Kansas City loss,
Speaker 2: you're like disappointed because you're like, man, we were right there.
Speaker 2: It could have happened. But you kind of like take
Speaker 2: what you take, the positives from it and move on.
Speaker 2: This loss hurt. And I don't know if this loss
Speaker 2: would have hard as much at the beginning of the year,
Speaker 2: But now you're starting to see this team kind of
Speaker 2: figure out who they are, who they want to be,
Speaker 2: and you look at that game and go, that was winnable.
Speaker 2: That was winnable in many different ways. You think one
Speaker 2: or two different things go different, or one or two
Speaker 2: things go differently in that game's a win. But that
Speaker 2: also kind of goes back to what Dave Canalysis said
Speaker 2: and what we have said week after week. As long
Speaker 2: as Dave Canally says it, will say it, and that
Speaker 2: is finish. And you know, if there's a couple of
Speaker 2: things that are just finished in that game, it's a win.
Speaker 2: And so even though it's it's a loss, it's a
Speaker 2: good touching point. It's a good teaching point for Dave
Speaker 2: Canalis as they continue to build this thing. And it
Speaker 2: makes me think about this game that's coming up on
Speaker 2: Sunday a little differently than I probably would even a
Speaker 2: month ago.
Speaker 1: Oh no doubt, Yeah, no doubt. I mean, And that's
Speaker 1: the thing. There were very real There have been games
Speaker 1: this year the Carolina Panthers loss because they didn't have
Speaker 1: any business being in them. That was a game they
Speaker 1: lost for very tangible and specific reasons. They score one
Speaker 1: touchdown in the red zone, kick too many field goals,
Speaker 1: they let Bucky Irvin go for a buck fifty against them.
Speaker 1: You know, there's all these very specific things. They missed
Speaker 1: two field goals that they could have done differently, and
Speaker 1: we'd have a completely different conversation right now. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: I mean, there are so many of those, and that's
Speaker 1: what frustrated those guys so much, and it did. It
Speaker 1: was telling to me that a the players in the
Speaker 1: locker room were crushed losing that game to the Bucks
Speaker 1: because they knew they had it in their hands. They
Speaker 1: knew they had the opportunity, you know. And again, even
Speaker 1: without the Adam Thielen touchdown, that wasn't There were so
Speaker 1: many of them that they were frustrated with themselves. But
Speaker 1: this building, for the second week in a row, had atmosphere. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean that sounds when we're walking underneath this stadium,
Speaker 1: you know, and a lot of times, not that anybody cares,
Speaker 1: but to go under behind the curtain. I will duck
Speaker 1: down before a game is over watch on a monitor
Speaker 1: from the room where the press conference is about to happen,
Speaker 1: just because I'm trying to file rapid reactions, which many
Speaker 1: of you enjoy on Panthers dot Com right at the gun.
Speaker 1: To do that, I've got to be in that room.
Speaker 1: I could hear that from under the stadium. I mean,
Speaker 1: this place was shaking coming down the stretch at the
Speaker 1: end of regulation and in overtime, and this place had
Speaker 1: a little bit of a vibe, and that was not
Speaker 1: the case early in the year at different points. I
Speaker 1: mean last year, certainly, at no point last year, I
Speaker 1: don't think other than maybe the Atlanta game.
Speaker 2: Even then, wasn't that the game where like everybody scrammed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, the weather's been terrible, but anyways, there's
Speaker 1: something cooking. And that's been my big takeaway from this
Speaker 1: from the last couple of weeks is they may be
Speaker 1: three and nine, they may be you know, whatever percentage
Speaker 1: points remaining to be playoff eligible, all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: I don't want to get to in the weeds on that,
Speaker 1: but what they've found is a voice, They've found a personality.
Speaker 1: They've found the kind of football they want to play
Speaker 1: when they're good, when they're in games in December that
Speaker 1: do matter for playoff positioning, when they're in games for playoffs.
Speaker 1: I just think that's as valuable as anything that's happened
Speaker 1: this season is they've sort of figured out who they are.
Speaker 1: Dave Canalis keep saying, we're gonna we're trying to be us,
Speaker 1: We're trying to get to us. They've figured out what
Speaker 1: us is. Now they got to play better football and
Speaker 1: get more people.
Speaker 2: You know, I was standing in the locker room today.
Speaker 2: It was I mean me or I good thing, I
Speaker 2: don't work in words. It was me, Robert Hunt and
Speaker 2: our coworker Rob and Robert Hunt was asking us, like,
Speaker 2: who are some of the most impactful players you've ever covered?
Speaker 2: And Rob was go back to that twenty fifteen team
Speaker 2: alive and he was like, you know what they just had.
Speaker 2: He's like, that team just had guys you know that
Speaker 2: could get it done on the field, that were great
Speaker 2: in the locker room. And Rob Hunt said, we'll stick
Speaker 2: around another year or two, You're gonna see that team again.
Speaker 2: And you kind of can't help but believe Rob Hunt
Speaker 2: when he says stuff. And so that was, well, he's
Speaker 2: been around it, yeah, and he's been around it.
Speaker 1: He was on a Miami team that had been you know,
Speaker 1: in some other places and then got good. So he's
Speaker 1: seen this climb before. And I think that's part of
Speaker 1: the reason he was of interest to them, in addition
Speaker 1: to the fact that he's massive and moves like a
Speaker 1: much smaller man while being a much much larger man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he certainly brings the personality as well. And
Speaker 2: so you know, these three wins feel a little differently
Speaker 2: than the two did at this point last year, and
Speaker 2: we'll kind of see where they go from here.
Speaker 1: This is three pointing towards something as opposed to two
Speaker 1: pointing toward another.
Speaker 2: Rebuild, counting two on the way down. Yeah, kind of
Speaker 2: just looking ahead to this week, as we were saying
Speaker 2: at the top, like it's gonna be interesting to watch,
Speaker 2: and let's just call a spade a spade. This is
Speaker 2: gonna be a tough outing. This may arguably be the
Speaker 2: most tough outing that they will have had all year
Speaker 2: because they are facing the league's number four overall offense,
Speaker 2: number one rushing offense, they're twenty eighth in passing because
Speaker 2: they don't have to pass, and the number one defense
Speaker 2: team third in sacks. The defensive part of it, Eagles
Speaker 2: defense Panthers offense. I'm really interested to see because Bryce
Speaker 2: the past three weeks has handled not only blitz but
Speaker 2: pressures so much better. What does he look like when
Speaker 2: Jalen Carter and Nolan Smith are bearing down on him,
Speaker 2: two guys that he's faced before, by the way, and
Speaker 2: what does he do with that secondary that you know
Speaker 2: has two rookie corners but also has I think Darius
Speaker 2: Lay's question. But you know, we'll see if he's out
Speaker 2: there has Chauncey Gardner Johnson who doesn't know how to
Speaker 2: be anything but tenacious, you know, has a stingy little
Speaker 2: secondary and a stout front seven. But we've seen Bryce
Speaker 2: kind of really kind of come into himself against those
Speaker 2: sort of pressures the past three weeks. What does he
Speaker 2: do when he's faced with some of the best of
Speaker 2: it in the league right now?
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean the last couple of weeks, here's
Speaker 1: what he's done. He's done one of two things. He's
Speaker 1: either stepped into the pressure and delivered to throw, or
Speaker 1: he's gone into what they call baller mode, which I love.
Speaker 1: I mean, they just kind of declare that in their meeting.
Speaker 1: I mean, you you wrote so much and so well
Speaker 1: this offseason about their quest to get the ball out
Speaker 1: in two point seven seconds. They just decide at a
Speaker 1: certain point two point seven goes out the window, and
Speaker 1: you go into baller mode, make something happen. If you
Speaker 1: need to escape the pocket, go look. And I mean
Speaker 1: that's where you've seen Bryce get out and make some
Speaker 1: plays and make some of those anticipation throws out on
Speaker 1: the move and I mean, there were people in this
Speaker 1: building last year when everything was sideways who were just
Speaker 1: screaming to the heavens, get Bryce out on the move,
Speaker 1: do the things he was good out at Alabama. And
Speaker 1: I mean, that's to me gonna be one of the
Speaker 1: defining quotes of the second half of this year. Is
Speaker 1: that's Alabama Bryce. When Trevin Wallace said that after the
Speaker 1: KC game, that'll be in the book one of these days.
Speaker 1: I mean, you'll reach that point where he got back
Speaker 1: to being Alabama Bryce. But Alabama Bryce is that guy
Speaker 1: who rolls the pocket, who moves things and is looking
Speaker 1: downfield and looking around while moving. And that was the
Speaker 1: thing he was always so good out at Alabama. Is
Speaker 1: that being able to scan on the move and find
Speaker 1: an Adam feeling downfield. You know, the crazy one handed
Speaker 1: catch in overtime was Bryce and Adam feeling basically improvising.
Speaker 1: But it's not improvising because it's months in the building
Speaker 1: and it's and it's something that takes time and communication
Speaker 1: and getting to know each other. But he wasn't making
Speaker 1: those throws earlier this year.
Speaker 2: One another one too, that we saw that kind of
Speaker 2: got lost in the shuffle because it happened much earlier
Speaker 2: in the game, but he went out on a scramble
Speaker 2: drill I want to say in the sete no, the
Speaker 2: first Yeah, in the first quarter. I mean he was
Speaker 2: wrapped up, he was sacked and he got out of
Speaker 2: it and Tommy Tremble was running down the right sideline
Speaker 2: and just stuck his hand up in the air and
Speaker 2: Bryce found him for a huge gain. That was a
Speaker 2: gutsy little move and a gutsy throw that turned into
Speaker 2: a big play. Back to the two point seven stuff too.
Speaker 2: You know, Canalis had kind of gotten away from talking
Speaker 2: about that during the season, and I think it was
Speaker 2: just because of kind of the way the season was going.
Speaker 2: The past couple of weeks, he has brought it back
Speaker 2: up himself, unprompted more than once, and that tells me
Speaker 2: that they're seeing Bryce clicking with it, if that makes sense.
Speaker 1: Well, and again, different guy we're seeing right now. I
Speaker 1: don't think there's any debate about that. I mean Bryce
Speaker 1: is playing with a different confidence and a different I
Speaker 1: hate to say swagger because when you talk about quarterbacks
Speaker 1: and swagger, everything is measured against one impossible standard in
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers history, and I don't mean Jake Delome.
Speaker 2: You know, Or you don't think Jake Dolomses swagger.
Speaker 1: You know. If we would have known what the word
Speaker 1: swagger meant in nineteen ninety nine, Steve Berlin had it.
Speaker 1: But that's not what I mean. And you know Bryce
Speaker 1: is never gonna be that guy. Okay, that guy is
Speaker 1: one of one. He is for a reason and literally
Speaker 1: number one, literally number one. Bryce is never gonna be
Speaker 1: that guy. But you see a little bit more now,
Speaker 1: you know, the little dance, the little jimmy coming out
Speaker 1: after eating that runs for a touchdown. I will not
Speaker 1: I'm actually doing it right now. You just can't see it.
Speaker 1: So for all of you people into the theater of
Speaker 1: the mind here on the Happy half hour, I am
Speaker 1: currently doing the Seng dance as far as you know.
Speaker 2: Don't let you know.
Speaker 1: But it's it's more fun, and I think that's the
Speaker 1: biggest thing. I keep going back to finding that voice
Speaker 1: and figuring out who they want to be. They want
Speaker 1: to be the team that leans on people. They want
Speaker 1: to be the team that relies on Bryce to do
Speaker 1: smart things rather than physically amazing things. They want to
Speaker 1: be the team that eventually plays tight defense and they
Speaker 1: don't have people for it right now. They just don't.
Speaker 1: And God bless all the guys who are out there
Speaker 1: are doing their best right now. But a lot of
Speaker 1: those guys were you know, career backups who are in
Speaker 1: starting roles or rookies who weren't expecting to play nearly
Speaker 1: this many snaps this year, and it's tough sledding. I mean,
Speaker 1: they just you know, Giero Vero talked about it today.
Speaker 1: You know, it's not all just the guys, but a
Speaker 1: lot of it's the guys. And as they continue to
Speaker 1: add more guys, then they'll be the team they want
Speaker 1: to be. And you can see those little little hints
Speaker 1: of it right now.
Speaker 2: It's hard not to imagine. And again, if wishes and
Speaker 2: butts were candy and nuts, that's what it is. You
Speaker 2: don't have America.
Speaker 1: I have some butts were candy and nuts. We don't
Speaker 1: have Americ Christmas.
Speaker 2: We'll get it right around.
Speaker 1: I still like mine, which is if my aunt had
Speaker 1: wheel se'ed be.
Speaker 2: A wagon hardless. It's hard not to imagine what the
Speaker 2: defense would have looked like if Derek Brown was still
Speaker 2: out there. I mean, we're human at the end of
Speaker 2: the day.
Speaker 1: That's going to be the greatest free agent signing ever
Speaker 1: this off season, adding Derek Brown.
Speaker 2: Adding Derek Brown back saying you know when you.
Speaker 1: Add a player like that to this team, Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: going to be like an impact signing, and you know
Speaker 1: it's obviously going to make a huge difference. But that's
Speaker 1: going to be one of many things that happens. I mean,
Speaker 1: they're going to be active in free agents in free
Speaker 1: agency right now. It's season ended today, they'd be picking
Speaker 1: fifth in the draft. Also, a lot of people would
Speaker 1: be saying, why is the season ending the Thursday, a
Speaker 1: week fourteen? We make the rules, Yeah, exactly. So you
Speaker 1: know you're looking at a high top ten pick. I
Speaker 1: mean probably somewhere in the Florida eight range, depending on
Speaker 1: how these.
Speaker 2: Next you can get a game change goes.
Speaker 1: I mean, you you can find somebody and we'll get
Speaker 1: into draft stuff later on, but it's going to be
Speaker 1: somebody who ought to be able to start from day one.
Speaker 2: I walked into an office here the other day on
Speaker 2: our second floor and dB was just sitting in a
Speaker 2: very small, uncomfortable looking chair, and I was like, Dby,
Speaker 2: what are you doing here? And he it was the
Speaker 2: pr office and he's like, this is my office now,
Speaker 2: I run this place. Yeah, And I was like, and
Speaker 2: but what was funny about it was it was an
Speaker 2: off day for the players, and.
Speaker 1: You know who wanted to be here? You know who
Speaker 1: was more uncomfortable than dB who the chair?
Speaker 2: That's true, And it's like all of you other people
Speaker 2: sitting in here, y'all couldn't give him one of your
Speaker 2: nicer chairs. But I just thought it was funny too,
Speaker 2: because it was an off day for the players, and
Speaker 2: he just wanted to be in the building. Yeah, And
Speaker 2: he just wanted to be here.
Speaker 1: And be around, right, And Derek's been around the whole
Speaker 1: time we had It was actually an interesting question. I
Speaker 1: enjoy writing the Ascy Old Guy mail Bag because we
Speaker 1: find people send in questions that actually make me think sometimes,
Speaker 1: which you know, sometimes I act like I'd seen it
Speaker 1: all and done it all around this place, just because
Speaker 1: I've been wandering around for thirty years. But somebody asked
Speaker 1: about Derek Brown being on the sidelines during games. And
Speaker 1: I mean, I know, Derek's in the building source my
Speaker 1: two eyes every day, but he hadn't been on the
Speaker 1: sideline prior to last week's game. Primarily because of self
Speaker 1: defense reasons. Derek Brown. Derek Brown was on a scooter
Speaker 1: for a long time. He had a souped up Rascal
Speaker 1: scooter that was a pretty impressive piece of engineering.
Speaker 2: I found it on Amazon.
Speaker 1: And then he was on crutches for a long time.
Speaker 1: And you can't have guys on crutches on the sidelines
Speaker 1: because football happens all around them and if somebody comes barreling,
Speaker 1: you know, out of bounds and runs into Derek Brown
Speaker 1: while he's compromised in his ability to move and protect himself,
Speaker 1: then they could be a bigger problem. So gus guys
Speaker 1: have to hang back, and they're usually in a suite
Speaker 1: somewhere upstairs until they're able to be there on the
Speaker 1: sideline and be in the And Derek is definitely eager
Speaker 1: to be in the MiGs.
Speaker 2: His voice on the sideline could could help to keep
Speaker 2: people calm.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, dB is he's seen some things here
Speaker 1: in the last a little bit and he's definitely eager
Speaker 1: to get back to where it's the kind of defense
Speaker 1: that he was used to being on previously. And and
Speaker 1: and then some So we'll see how it goes. But
Speaker 1: Philly this weekend yep, sa Kwan Barkley play hard. You
Speaker 1: know this is gonna be a challenge for those guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's gonna You sounded like somebody when you said that,
Speaker 2: were you doing an impersonation.
Speaker 1: Not that I'm aware of. I mean, I am just
Speaker 1: batting a cold. Maybe it's Foghorn Leghorn, well Steve Spurry
Speaker 1: or Falhorn Leghorn kind of, I think. But no, I
Speaker 1: mean it's yeah, it's it's gonna be tough. I mean,
Speaker 1: the Eagles are really good at football. This just in
Speaker 1: that's analysis that you can only get here at the
Speaker 1: Happy half hour. I know the people at Southern Star
Speaker 1: are really glad they're sponsoring this thing now.
Speaker 2: But you know.
Speaker 1: Regardless the Eagles game five games left the rest of
Speaker 1: this season, and whether this team finishes three and fourteen,
Speaker 1: five and twelve, whatever, the four and thirteen, whatever the
Speaker 1: number may be, I think the greater lessons are going
Speaker 1: to stand. And I mean we'll see fine tuning of
Speaker 1: some of that over the next five weeks. But I
Speaker 1: think we've learned a lot of what we're going to
Speaker 1: learn about this team right now, which is maybe they
Speaker 1: found a quarterback yeh who they trust going in the
Speaker 1: next year, maybe they can build on this passing game.
Speaker 1: You know, they'll want to continue to add parts on
Speaker 1: offense too. Just because Dan Morgan is a guy a
Speaker 1: lot of people believe is going to invest heavily in
Speaker 1: defense this offseason, that don't mean they don't need another
Speaker 1: wide receiver to help this team. And I think they're
Speaker 1: going to be pretty active in that regard. So they're
Speaker 1: going to be busy. We're going to find things out,
Speaker 1: you know, little individual things, and you know there's gonna
Speaker 1: be opportunities like Shaw Smith Wade gets back in the
Speaker 1: lineup this week at nickel. If Shaw Smith Wade can
Speaker 1: be your nickel going into next year.
Speaker 2: That takes care of a lot of things.
Speaker 1: Takes care of a number of things, and it also
Speaker 1: makes this a pretty good draft.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you get what you think you're going
Speaker 1: to get out of Jonathan Brooks, if Xavier Leget continues
Speaker 1: to develop again, Trevin Wallace got a lot of snaps
Speaker 1: they didn't think he was gonna get this year, that's
Speaker 1: gonna accelerate his process. Jatavian Sanders has made enough place
Speaker 1: to make you think that's going to be a thing
Speaker 1: that develops as part of this offense. If you get
Speaker 1: two contributors out of any draft you feel.
Speaker 2: Okay about it, they might get if you get five,
Speaker 2: and so Jaydon Crummedy, So that that leaves we've gone
Speaker 2: through all of them except for Jaydon Crummedy, who has
Speaker 2: spent most of them season on ir but they seem
Speaker 2: to really really like what they're going to get out
Speaker 2: of him. And the other one is Michael Barrett, which
Speaker 2: ipso facto is Mike Jackson.
Speaker 1: Correct, you traded your seventh round pick. You're starting to
Speaker 1: make the roster for a guy who starts every game
Speaker 1: at cornerback for you this year and play at a
Speaker 1: pretty decent level.
Speaker 2: So you got five out of seven that are already
Speaker 2: contributing in a in an impactful way and or learning
Speaker 2: to contribute more down the road. One that you're still
Speaker 2: learning about in one like like you said, you turned
Speaker 2: into a veteran starter. Yeah, got a bad draft.
Speaker 1: It was it sure was something, But well we'll get
Speaker 1: to all that and more. It's been there's been so
Speaker 1: much going on, I lose track of what day of
Speaker 1: the week it is. You know, we're less than three
Speaker 1: weeks from Christmas.
Speaker 2: Right, My bank account knows that.
Speaker 1: That late, that late Thanksgiving, late Thanksgiving rolling all over
Speaker 1: me right now. I woke up yesterday it was like,
Speaker 1: it's three weeks from Christmas. I'm not ready for this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but uh yeah, it's been great though. Thanksgiving break was good.
Speaker 1: Hope everybody's was great. You know, had opportunity to see family.
Speaker 1: I know your family was in town. That's what it's
Speaker 1: all about. Find your people, hang out with them. Saw
Speaker 1: a show. Speaking of which, your jukebox assignment this week
Speaker 1: was to go to the Last Waltz was to listen
Speaker 1: to the end section of the Last Waltz I a
Speaker 1: couple of Bob Dylan songs along with the band.
Speaker 2: I have something to admit.
Speaker 1: Oh no, I forgot to do it. You forgot to
Speaker 1: do it? Well, that's never happened. This is this.
Speaker 2: First week I for this is the first week I Cassidy,
Speaker 2: have forgotten to listen to the song.
Speaker 1: Now I may have to make you watch the entire
Speaker 1: movie just to get you caught up on the band's catalog.
Speaker 2: What did I do the week you forgot to listen?
Speaker 1: This way? We just went on to the next thing.
Speaker 2: I'll let you. I give you a whole other week.
Speaker 1: You're you're a better person than I am. But no,
Speaker 1: speaking of the band, I mean one of the things
Speaker 1: got to do over the holiday that was cool is
Speaker 1: here in Charlotte at the Visuali Theater in elizabeth Great
Speaker 1: Room by the way to see a show. If you
Speaker 1: ever have an opportunity, I highly recommend it. They do
Speaker 1: a Last Waltz tribute show and the Last Waltz as
Speaker 1: people like Cassidy who do not know it's it's the
Speaker 1: band's final concert from nineteen seventy six Thanksgiving nineteen seventy
Speaker 1: six the Winterland Ballroom, San Francisco. The band, featuring Levon
Speaker 1: hillm and Robbie Robertson, brought in all their friends from
Speaker 1: Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Eric Clapton, ringo star Van Morrison,
Speaker 1: and a cast of thousands, and Martin Scorsese filmed it
Speaker 1: turned it into a movie. The two songs I gave
Speaker 1: you were two of the last three numbers in that movie.
Speaker 1: We went to see a tribute show at the Visualize
Speaker 1: Friday night. Wife and I went with some friends, well,
Speaker 1: our friend Duffy and his wife Carla Hu and Duffy's
Speaker 1: some music industry veteran. So we're standing there at the
Speaker 1: concert talking about the band, and Levon Hilm and Robbie
Speaker 1: Robertson and Duffy just kind of casually mentions, Yeah, when
Speaker 1: I was at Fender, we did a project with Robbie
Speaker 1: and he said, it's like, whoa dude, you know, every
Speaker 1: now and then I walk around I walk around this
Speaker 1: building and you forget that Luke Keiakley's not a part
Speaker 1: of everybody's life where they just see him walking down
Speaker 1: the hall and be like what Luke. But you know,
Speaker 1: just the way my guy Duffy just kind of casually
Speaker 1: dropped that. Yeah, when I was working with Robbie Robertson,
Speaker 1: he said, Robbie, I love that kind of stuff. So
Speaker 1: I did. However, listen to your really long Tailor's Swift song,
Speaker 1: your super long Taylor Swift song, ten minutes of Taylor
Speaker 1: just opening up a veint. I gotta ask when you
Speaker 1: when you listen to Taylor Swift records, do you ever
Speaker 1: consider that she makes these records and sings these songs
Speaker 1: for people like you instead of going to therapy.
Speaker 2: Because you when I went to the Eras tour, Yeah,
Speaker 2: and she got to the all too Well section. I
Speaker 2: turned to my friend. My friend and I have a
Speaker 2: saying about all too well ten minute version Taylor's version.
Speaker 2: It's cheaper than therapy for somebody.
