WEBVTT - Happy Half Hour Episode 132: Panther Football

0:00:01.120 --> 0:00:03.400
<v Speaker 1>This week on a Happy Half Hour.

0:00:04.760 --> 0:00:09.479
<v Speaker 2>Dave is a very workmanlike kind of coach. And I

0:00:09.520 --> 0:00:13.480
<v Speaker 2>think because people only see that veneer, they only see that,

0:00:13.960 --> 0:00:17.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, front facing part of Dave Canalis clapping and

0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:19.760
<v Speaker 2>being positive and all that kind of stuff. It's like

0:00:20.120 --> 0:00:21.240
<v Speaker 2>this dude's a grinder.

0:00:22.160 --> 0:00:28.760
<v Speaker 1>Touch the cow. It's time for the Happy Half Hour,

0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:34.800
<v Speaker 1>presented by Southern Star, an official bourbon of the Carolina Panthers.

0:00:36.200 --> 0:00:39.800
<v Speaker 1>Here are your hosts, Darren Gant and Cassidy Hill.

0:00:43.080 --> 0:00:48.080
<v Speaker 2>Hello friends, and welcome to another very special edition of

0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:49.320
<v Speaker 2>the Happy Half Hour.

0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:50.320
<v Speaker 3>We're all special.

0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:53.480
<v Speaker 2>They're all special. They're like our kids. We love them all,

0:00:53.520 --> 0:00:56.400
<v Speaker 2>but this one may be more special than all the rest.

0:00:56.600 --> 0:00:59.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't know where we get to talk about a wine,

0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:04.880
<v Speaker 2>talk about hurricane that's rolling into town, Hurricane Helene. Hopefully

0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:08.440
<v Speaker 2>we don't all die. If if we do, next week

0:01:08.480 --> 0:01:11.360
<v Speaker 2>will be called the Sad Half Hour with somebody not

0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:13.120
<v Speaker 2>Darren Ganton Cassidy Hill.

0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:15.160
<v Speaker 3>Who would you want to deliver your eulogy?

0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:18.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't even know, but Podcast Matt will make it

0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:22.880
<v Speaker 2>sound great. I know that much. But so let's get

0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:25.280
<v Speaker 2>on with it. To this episode of The Happy Half Hour,

0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:27.639
<v Speaker 2>which is always is brought to us by our friends.

0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:31.160
<v Speaker 2>It's Southern Star, an official bourbon partner of the Carolina Panthers,

0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:35.160
<v Speaker 2>celebrate the spirit of the Carolinas. With the hurricane rolling in,

0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:37.640
<v Speaker 2>it might be time for a little Southern Star and

0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:40.919
<v Speaker 2>eggnog or something. I don't know. It might be early

0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:45.560
<v Speaker 2>for eggnog season, but I could make an exception for her.

0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:48.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I don't really you know, I know

0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:52.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't celebrate the pumpkin festivities, but I am not

0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:53.840
<v Speaker 2>going to stand in the way of people who do

0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:56.720
<v Speaker 2>enjoy it because I want everybody to be happy and

0:01:56.840 --> 0:01:58.600
<v Speaker 2>this week everybody's happy.

0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:03.520
<v Speaker 3>Everybody's happy. Happen well, they won a game. That goes

0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:05.200
<v Speaker 3>a long way towards making everybody happy.

0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:08.160
<v Speaker 2>It really does, and it is alarming. I mean, I

0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:10.760
<v Speaker 2>try to be a balanced human being, be the same

0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:12.520
<v Speaker 2>guy every day and that kind of stuff. But just

0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:14.880
<v Speaker 2>when you move through the building, if you're in the

0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:18.000
<v Speaker 2>ticket office, if you're in the marketing department, if you're

0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:21.840
<v Speaker 2>anywhere in the building, the mood is just better. And

0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:24.960
<v Speaker 2>that's just human nature. I think everybody's excited about the

0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:28.520
<v Speaker 2>way last thing last week went. You know this just

0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:31.640
<v Speaker 2>in people like touchdowns and points and stuff, and then

0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:34.760
<v Speaker 2>when you can win, it's better still. So it's all

0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:37.240
<v Speaker 2>good things for the Carolina Panthers right now after a

0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:40.360
<v Speaker 2>week that they talked about being heavy. Yeah, because again

0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:42.720
<v Speaker 2>last week when we did this, we were talking about

0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:45.560
<v Speaker 2>making a change at quarterback, and obviously it was something

0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:49.200
<v Speaker 2>nobody ever wanted to do, nobody anticipated doing three weeks

0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:52.679
<v Speaker 2>into the season. But the Andy Dalton era got off

0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:53.720
<v Speaker 2>to quite a start.

0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:56.280
<v Speaker 3>And you know, it's funny we say everybody's happy. The

0:02:56.320 --> 0:03:00.360
<v Speaker 3>one person who doesn't isn't necessarily balancing with happiness maybe

0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:03.840
<v Speaker 3>Dave Canalis, Yeah, which is a little surprising considering how

0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:06.520
<v Speaker 3>energetic he normally is. But like you said, he said

0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:09.200
<v Speaker 3>after that game, after his first win as a head coach,

0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:12.440
<v Speaker 3>you know, I'm happy on the inside, but it's been

0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:17.040
<v Speaker 3>a heavy week. Yeah, And I thought that spoke volumes

0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:19.639
<v Speaker 3>just about the fact that this wasn't an easy decision

0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:21.119
<v Speaker 3>and it did carry a lot of weight.

0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:23.880
<v Speaker 2>And here's the other thing. I think, as people get

0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:26.320
<v Speaker 2>wrapped up in the results of ballgames and their fantasy

0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:30.320
<v Speaker 2>football team and stuff like that, we've commodified sports. This

0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:34.720
<v Speaker 2>is a business full of human beings and Dave Canalis

0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:37.600
<v Speaker 2>knows that because, as you know, much as they needed

0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:40.400
<v Speaker 2>the result to change offensively and make the change, and

0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:43.360
<v Speaker 2>Andy created what they were hoping to see, you know,

0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:45.280
<v Speaker 2>there's still a dude on the other end of that

0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:49.000
<v Speaker 2>transaction who they value and want to protect. So I

0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:52.040
<v Speaker 2>thought one of the biggest upshots of last week was

0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:56.920
<v Speaker 2>seeing how engaged Bryce was through the week and on

0:03:57.160 --> 0:03:59.840
<v Speaker 2>game day, I mean there was. It would have been

0:03:59.880 --> 0:04:03.560
<v Speaker 2>the easy thing for Bryce Young to do, or the

0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:05.320
<v Speaker 2>easy thing for Bryce Young to do, would have been

0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:08.560
<v Speaker 2>to hide and to withdraw and let Andy have his

0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:11.200
<v Speaker 2>moment and go ahead. But Bryce was in all the places.

0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:13.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I can tell you anybody who's gone through

0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:16.200
<v Speaker 2>any kind of trauma, lose a job, getting divorced, any

0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:18.040
<v Speaker 2>of that kind of stuff, what do you do. You withdraw,

0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:20.280
<v Speaker 2>You don't call your friends, you don't go out that

0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:22.240
<v Speaker 2>kind of stuff. You just kind of hide in your

0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:24.920
<v Speaker 2>hole and wait for it to subside a little bit

0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:27.680
<v Speaker 2>before you re enter society. But Bryce was out there

0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:29.720
<v Speaker 2>for the coin toss. I mean, he's standing right next

0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:32.559
<v Speaker 2>to Shack Thompson, still a captain, still a captain, still

0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:35.279
<v Speaker 2>doing his thing, had the headset in the entire game,

0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:38.760
<v Speaker 2>you know, contributing and one of my favorite pictures of

0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:41.679
<v Speaker 2>the aftermath there was a celebration shot from the locker

0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:45.520
<v Speaker 2>room and like Jamie Robinson is dancing in the foreground,

0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:47.800
<v Speaker 2>but if you look in the background to the picture,

0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:50.080
<v Speaker 2>Andy's walking into the locker room and Bryce is the

0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:51.600
<v Speaker 2>first one standing there hugging him.

0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:51.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:54.520
<v Speaker 2>So, I mean that kind of to me, spoke to

0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:57.400
<v Speaker 2>what was going on last week that you know, yes,

0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:00.440
<v Speaker 2>everybody's happy, but there was still this subtext that people

0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:02.560
<v Speaker 2>were trying to take care of their own and.

0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:05.760
<v Speaker 3>There's something to be said for taking the weight of

0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:09.279
<v Speaker 3>a franchise off a very young player shoulders and how

0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:11.840
<v Speaker 3>that can maybe give him a chance to breathe.

0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:14.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I've used the phrase get him in out of

0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:19.440
<v Speaker 2>the rain, which would be helpful today, but it's it's true.

0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:22.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean, and I think as you look across the league,

0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:25.600
<v Speaker 2>it may be time for us to talk differently about quarterbacks.

0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:28.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we might have to think differently about the

0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:32.320
<v Speaker 2>entire profession based on what we've seen so far this year.

0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:35.479
<v Speaker 2>The fact that Andy Dalton, that closing in on thirty

0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:38.680
<v Speaker 2>seven years old, is the only quarterback in the entire NFL.

0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:40.960
<v Speaker 2>To throw for three hundred yards and three touchdowns in

0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:43.840
<v Speaker 2>a game this year should tell you something that it

0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:47.000
<v Speaker 2>is hard for these guys. You see Caleb Williams struggling

0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:50.520
<v Speaker 2>a little bit with Chicago. You see poor old Trevor

0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:53.880
<v Speaker 2>Lawrence right, bless his heart, Remember when all the way,

0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:55.279
<v Speaker 2>remember when he was good.

0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:56.960
<v Speaker 3>At football once upon a time.

0:05:57.520 --> 0:05:59.320
<v Speaker 2>That was a thing one time, and they gave him

0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:01.000
<v Speaker 2>a whole bunch of money because they believed he was

0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:03.520
<v Speaker 2>going to continue to be and not. So watch right now,

0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:06.720
<v Speaker 2>and you know Joe Burrow is still good at football,

0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:09.720
<v Speaker 2>but his team's zero and three. So I mean the

0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:14.000
<v Speaker 2>struggles of these number one picks, you know, from this

0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:18.280
<v Speaker 2>year to the last several I think it's instructive because

0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:21.520
<v Speaker 2>this thing is hard and this thing is complicated. And

0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:23.440
<v Speaker 2>I go back to one of the things Canal has

0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:26.479
<v Speaker 2>kept talking about last week. You do this for the

0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:30.239
<v Speaker 2>whole team. You're building a whole team all off season.

0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:33.599
<v Speaker 2>Dave Canalis Dan Morgan got asked versions of the question

0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:36.360
<v Speaker 2>about building this thing around Bryce, and it's like, we're

0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:38.760
<v Speaker 2>trying to build a whole roster here, and it's not

0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:41.680
<v Speaker 2>just about Bryce. It's about building the entire team the

0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:44.560
<v Speaker 2>way you want to build it. And I think, you know,

0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:49.120
<v Speaker 2>if you take the face and the glorious mane of

0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:53.240
<v Speaker 2>red hair off of the top line and think about

0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:56.000
<v Speaker 2>just the other twenty one guys that were out there

0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:59.400
<v Speaker 2>on the field on both sides of the ball, you

0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:03.400
<v Speaker 2>realize the floor is definitely higher on this Carolina Panthers

0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:05.280
<v Speaker 2>team than it was a year ago. They wanted to

0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:07.359
<v Speaker 2>fix the offensive line when I spent a much money

0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:09.640
<v Speaker 2>fix the offensive line. They wanted to bring in a

0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:12.400
<v Speaker 2>bunch of old heads on defense to David Clowney's over there,

0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:15.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, with seven or eight pressures whatever it was

0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:19.360
<v Speaker 2>during that Gameka. Yeah, So you can see the level

0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:21.080
<v Speaker 2>being raised as this thing goes.

0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:24.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And because of all of that, just to kind

0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:28.760
<v Speaker 3>of build on the Dave Canalis happy skill, he's been

0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:31.840
<v Speaker 3>very steady this week, and the guys were really steady

0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:36.800
<v Speaker 3>after the win. You know, they were excited. But I'm

0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:38.480
<v Speaker 3>trying to figure out the way to word this good thing.

0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:40.520
<v Speaker 3>I don't work in words. The locker room after the

0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:44.240
<v Speaker 3>win was excited as if it was a normal win.

0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:49.280
<v Speaker 3>Does that make sense? Not then not only the third

0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:52.520
<v Speaker 3>win in twenty games, but just a normal win. And

0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:55.720
<v Speaker 3>that was what Dave Canalis said afterwards after the game,

0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:58.480
<v Speaker 3>and then he said it again earlier this week, was

0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:01.960
<v Speaker 3>this is what we expect to do. I liked how

0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:03.800
<v Speaker 3>focused the guys came in. You know, he kind of

0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:05.520
<v Speaker 3>admitted he wasn't sure what he was gonna be walking

0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:08.600
<v Speaker 3>into on Wednesday's meeting. Would guys be still so excited

0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:11.400
<v Speaker 3>that they weren't focused? And that wasn't the case. As

0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:13.480
<v Speaker 3>cliche as it sounds. You know, it's on every high

0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:17.600
<v Speaker 3>school football's workout shirts that expect to win. It kind

0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:20.960
<v Speaker 3>of helps it. That is what has shaped the mindset

0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:24.480
<v Speaker 3>of this team this week, like, Okay, we won, as

0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:27.600
<v Speaker 3>Dave Canal says, that validated the process of everything they've

0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:30.800
<v Speaker 3>done to get to this point. Now continue on and

0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:32.480
<v Speaker 3>make that the standard.

0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:36.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. And here's the thing. And I've mentioned this before,

0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:40.440
<v Speaker 2>probably on this podcast and another outlets, and I know

0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:43.079
<v Speaker 2>I've written it. Here's the thing I'm starting to figure

0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:47.120
<v Speaker 2>out about Dave Canalis. He's young, he's handsome, he's in

0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:50.600
<v Speaker 2>great shape, he works out every day before practice.

0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:51.360
<v Speaker 3>Here's this going.

0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:55.840
<v Speaker 2>But he I mean, there is this slick veneer of

0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:59.839
<v Speaker 2>what Dave Canalis appears to be. What Dave Canalis is

0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:03.200
<v Speaker 2>is grinder. Yeah, when you listen to the words he says,

0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:06.000
<v Speaker 2>when you watch what he does on a daily basis,

0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:08.600
<v Speaker 2>I guarantee you he's gonna be out there in practice

0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:11.000
<v Speaker 2>field today wearing the same long sleeve dry fit and

0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:13.000
<v Speaker 2>the same pair of shorts he wears every other day.

0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:13.880
<v Speaker 3>Think hat on.

0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:16.640
<v Speaker 2>He might put a hat on. I've seen him in

0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:19.720
<v Speaker 2>a hat, it exists. That is a thing that occurs

0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:21.800
<v Speaker 2>from time to time. And maybe even a rain jacket

0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:24.320
<v Speaker 2>because we're, you know, in the midst of a hurricane,

0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:27.120
<v Speaker 2>rolling in and hope everybody's safe, et cetera, et cetera.

0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:32.640
<v Speaker 2>But Dave is a very workman like kind of coach.

0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:36.240
<v Speaker 2>And I think because people only see that veneer, they

0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:40.359
<v Speaker 2>only see that, you know, front facing part of Dave Canalis,

0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:42.880
<v Speaker 2>clapping and being positive and all that kind of stuff.

0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:46.920
<v Speaker 2>It's like, this dude's a grinder. He works. I mean,

0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:50.920
<v Speaker 2>that's pack mule and show pony clothing. He's he is

0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:54.360
<v Speaker 2>that guy. And I think, you know the other thing

0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:57.160
<v Speaker 2>that I keep coming back to on him when he's

0:09:57.240 --> 0:10:00.679
<v Speaker 2>talking in that postgame locker room. I mean, and you've

0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:03.640
<v Speaker 2>heard the clip we had the video of the postgame celebration.

0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:15.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, just listen to this from Dave Canalis's Football Football.

0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:23.280
<v Speaker 2>That's our football. Run the ball. When you want to

0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:24.640
<v Speaker 2>stop the.

0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:29.000
<v Speaker 4>Run, throw it over their heads, keep it from doing it.

0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:31.680
<v Speaker 4>We got some guys we got to talk about.

0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:40.000
<v Speaker 5>Mike Jack got a pick, We got you.

0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:43.400
<v Speaker 2>Got some sacks here, Okay, give me hey, here we go.

0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:55.160
<v Speaker 5>Peete got one, Cloudy got one. Andy Andy Don first

0:10:55.240 --> 0:10:58.360
<v Speaker 5>quarterback this season in the NFL with three hundred plus yards.

0:10:58.120 --> 0:10:58.960
<v Speaker 2>And three touchdowns.

0:11:07.360 --> 0:11:10.199
<v Speaker 4>Career high for Deontae eight for one, twenty.

0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:15.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh mine, I love it.

0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:17.040
<v Speaker 1>Man.

0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:19.920
<v Speaker 5>The last time we had a hundred yard receiver and

0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:23.040
<v Speaker 5>one hundred yard rusher was Week twelve of twenty twenty two.

0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:35.959
<v Speaker 4>Shuba got one hundred. Listen, it's the process. We had

0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:39.000
<v Speaker 4>a great week. What'd you expect was gonna happen on Sunday?

0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:42.000
<v Speaker 4>We had a great day. Okay, you guys battled the

0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:42.480
<v Speaker 4>whole time.

0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:44.040
<v Speaker 5>I know they got some stuff there on us at

0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:46.760
<v Speaker 5>the end, guys, but it's about appreciating each other, playing

0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:50.200
<v Speaker 5>for each other, and trusting this process. What's our standard.

0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:53.480
<v Speaker 5>Maintain the standard. We don't change. We don't change that

0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:53.800
<v Speaker 5>at all.

0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:57.959
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that was coming out of forty something year

0:11:57.960 --> 0:12:01.240
<v Speaker 2>old Dave Canalis's mouth. I would have expected that out

0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:02.720
<v Speaker 2>of eighty four year old Dan Hennick.

0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:03.000
<v Speaker 3>Right.

0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:05.200
<v Speaker 2>That is an old school way to football.

0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:08.040
<v Speaker 3>Did you notice if you watch that clip, there are

0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:11.000
<v Speaker 3>several points of that when whenever what he says, the

0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:14.080
<v Speaker 3>players say it with him, which tells me they've heard

0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:15.920
<v Speaker 3>that a hundred times before.

0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:18.760
<v Speaker 2>This stuff's getting ingrained. I was going to teasing Andy

0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:20.560
<v Speaker 2>the other day, I said, you're starting to pick up

0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:22.960
<v Speaker 2>on some of his mannerisms, and you're saying some of

0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:25.400
<v Speaker 2>his things back. I mean, and it just kind of

0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:29.960
<v Speaker 2>when those things fall into someone's vernacular, that's when you

0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:33.160
<v Speaker 2>know they've heard it a lot and they're internalizing it

0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:34.600
<v Speaker 2>and they're starting to live it a little bit.

0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:37.640
<v Speaker 3>And that's not to say, let's just you know, tempers

0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:39.439
<v Speaker 3>some expectations here. That's not to say they're about to

0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:40.959
<v Speaker 3>go on like a fifteen game winning streak.

0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:42.840
<v Speaker 2>Crew now fifteen and two the hard way.

0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:45.840
<v Speaker 3>Maybe we'll take it, but it you know, they could

0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:48.240
<v Speaker 3>come out on Sunday and the Bengles get their first win,

0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:53.640
<v Speaker 3>you know. But the point being laying the foundation of

0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:57.040
<v Speaker 3>what it can become. And that's what weeks like this

0:12:57.080 --> 0:12:59.560
<v Speaker 3>past week has done, and that's you know, finding the

0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:02.600
<v Speaker 3>lesson even in the losses. I think that's what they're

0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:03.800
<v Speaker 3>kind of preaching right now.

0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:06.240
<v Speaker 2>No doubt about it. And Andy Dalton as excited as

0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:08.360
<v Speaker 2>he was, and I mean he was grinning last week

0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:11.240
<v Speaker 2>from the time he got the call because it's a

0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:13.319
<v Speaker 2>chance for him to play, and that's what these guys

0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:17.000
<v Speaker 2>want to do. And Andy was obviously, you know, helpful

0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:19.760
<v Speaker 2>to Bryce along the way, put an arm around Bryce.

0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:24.319
<v Speaker 2>He was always very sensitive to his feelings while enjoying

0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:26.800
<v Speaker 2>his own moment. But as soon as that game was over,

0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:29.319
<v Speaker 2>Andy's like, listen, it ain't always going to be like this.

0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:33.280
<v Speaker 2>I think there was a recognition immediately that even though

0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:35.480
<v Speaker 2>they had kind of plugged into the formula of what

0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:38.760
<v Speaker 2>they want to be, that that's not promised. I mean

0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:42.280
<v Speaker 2>I think that you know, as you look at football

0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:46.280
<v Speaker 2>over the years, Cincinnati rolling in Hero and three, you

0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:48.920
<v Speaker 2>know they're thinking about this the same way the Panthers

0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:52.160
<v Speaker 2>were thinking about the Raiders last week. It's like a desperation,

0:13:52.360 --> 0:13:55.080
<v Speaker 2>here's our chance to get one kind of thing. And

0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:56.800
<v Speaker 2>I think the Bengals will be looking at it the

0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:59.920
<v Speaker 2>same way, but Andy's recognizing that, hey, it might not

0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:02.520
<v Speaker 2>would always be like this. They knew that that was

0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:04.240
<v Speaker 2>about as well as it could have gone.

0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:08.959
<v Speaker 3>Everything went perfect, they really did. I'm looking to see

0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:13.960
<v Speaker 3>because I'm trying to remember last year, and I believe.

0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:17.280
<v Speaker 2>Okay, does it say stand back everybody cast he's doing

0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:18.040
<v Speaker 2>math on the fly?

0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:21.239
<v Speaker 3>Oh my gosh, that is that is everyone.

0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:23.040
<v Speaker 2>It's fixing to get dangerous.

0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:24.440
<v Speaker 6>Hat.

0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:26.720
<v Speaker 3>Okay, it doesn't say it on this Wikipedia age, but

0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:31.360
<v Speaker 3>that doesn't mean it didn't happen. I'm almost positive and

0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:33.600
<v Speaker 3>correct me if I'm wrong, and someone tweet me if

0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:36.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm wrong. I'm almost positive. Baker Mayfield was a nominee

0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:38.400
<v Speaker 3>for Comeback Player of the Year last year.

0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:39.480
<v Speaker 2>Seems right.

0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:41.520
<v Speaker 3>He didn't win, but he was a nominee. I'm pretty

0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:45.680
<v Speaker 3>sure Gino Smith did win it in spirit. In spirit,

0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:50.080
<v Speaker 3>my point being, do you think Canalis could go three

0:14:50.160 --> 0:14:52.720
<v Speaker 3>for three on getting a guy nominated for Comeback Player

0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:56.320
<v Speaker 3>of the Year because Andy Dalton's odds did go up

0:14:56.720 --> 0:14:57.400
<v Speaker 3>after that game.

0:14:57.520 --> 0:15:00.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean the thing it speaks to is know

0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:04.080
<v Speaker 2>that's coaching. That is, you know, taking a thing that

0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:07.840
<v Speaker 2>was there and improving it. That is ultimately the job

0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:09.600
<v Speaker 2>description of being a ball coach.

0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:12.640
<v Speaker 3>So I think Demore Hamlin won it last year.

0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:15.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that makes sense. I don't know, but I don't recall.

0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:18.080
<v Speaker 2>We'll look that up, but I just you know, it

0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:21.560
<v Speaker 2>has been kind of a I hate using words like

0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:23.280
<v Speaker 2>this because it sounds like I'm in a meeting, But

0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:26.840
<v Speaker 2>there was kind of that paradigm shift last week where

0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:30.880
<v Speaker 2>the Carolina Panthers could look at themselves differently because all

0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:32.920
<v Speaker 2>the stuff they talked about doing and wanting to do

0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:36.720
<v Speaker 2>all off season happened. They ran, they stopped the run,

0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:40.520
<v Speaker 2>and they ran it physically. I think my favorite part

0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:43.360
<v Speaker 2>of the week was watching Rob Hunt, Nikki Ikwanhu throw

0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:46.320
<v Speaker 2>guys through the air. Now, I am an I am

0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:50.320
<v Speaker 2>an adherent to the ways of old man football. Run,

0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:52.320
<v Speaker 2>stop the run, throw it over their heads when you

0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:55.400
<v Speaker 2>throw it is kind of what I grew up on watching.

0:15:55.560 --> 0:16:00.840
<v Speaker 2>So that is that appeals to me. Seeing big three

0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:04.080
<v Speaker 2>hundred and thirty pound dudes fleeing smaller people through the air.

0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:06.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's kind of what I dig on seeing.

0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:08.920
<v Speaker 2>So those guys were all into it. We were talking

0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:11.720
<v Speaker 2>to them yesterday and we've got sound from Robert Hunt

0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:16.360
<v Speaker 2>talking about kind of being able to set the tone offensively.

0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:18.840
<v Speaker 6>That sounds good man. So he wanted to run the football.

0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:21.360
<v Speaker 6>He wants to depend on the run game to try

0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:24.760
<v Speaker 6>to get everything open. And I think he showed a

0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:26.320
<v Speaker 6>little bit of that last game. I think he ran away.

0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:28.040
<v Speaker 6>I don't know how many times, maybe thirty eighth any

0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:30.760
<v Speaker 6>one times. So it's a good amount of time to

0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:32.680
<v Speaker 6>throw about thirty seven. So it was a good split.

0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:36.480
<v Speaker 6>I think the run game opens up everything and it

0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:37.760
<v Speaker 6>was a it was a good little mix that he

0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:39.640
<v Speaker 6>had going on that game, you know too.

0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:44.080
<v Speaker 3>On that note, Darren dave Canalis was asked yesterday about

0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:48.000
<v Speaker 3>the run game in the NFL becoming more prominent, and

0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:50.920
<v Speaker 3>he gave an answer about, you know, we want whatever

0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:52.520
<v Speaker 3>other teams are doing, we want to run the ball.

0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:56.720
<v Speaker 3>Da da da. I think this is just a theory

0:16:56.760 --> 0:17:01.160
<v Speaker 3>of mine, but I think I'm right that the NFL

0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:05.480
<v Speaker 3>football in general is very Oh do you hear my

0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:07.520
<v Speaker 3>phone ringing? Are we gonna get in.

0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:09.520
<v Speaker 2>Trouble for the broadcast?

0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:16.119
<v Speaker 3>It's on silent too, But I guess it's apparently anyways,

0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:20.440
<v Speaker 3>football is and I can never say this word right,

0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:24.840
<v Speaker 3>don't laugh at me. It's cyclical, right, cyclical, That's almost

0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:28.120
<v Speaker 3>what I said, and I changed my mind. Second, football

0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:32.600
<v Speaker 3>is cyclical. You had a bunch of years where throwing

0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:36.040
<v Speaker 3>it became the focus and getting seven on seven players,

0:17:36.440 --> 0:17:40.960
<v Speaker 3>you know, and drafting guys like Justin Jefferson very high,

0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:43.960
<v Speaker 3>which makes sense. I mean, Justin Jefferson is a game changer.

0:17:44.200 --> 0:17:46.960
<v Speaker 3>But you had every team trying to follow that formula

0:17:47.040 --> 0:17:51.400
<v Speaker 3>because passing the ball was the the future, and then

0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:55.520
<v Speaker 3>you had defenses adjust to counter that, and so it

0:17:55.520 --> 0:17:59.639
<v Speaker 3>became all about getting fast dbs and and putting your

0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:02.679
<v Speaker 3>focus there. Well guess what that does. That opens up

0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:05.240
<v Speaker 3>the middle of the field. So now if a defense

0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:08.040
<v Speaker 3>is set up to stop the past, what do you do?

0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:08.560
<v Speaker 2>You run?

0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:12.720
<v Speaker 3>And so I think that's why we're seeing more and

0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:14.040
<v Speaker 3>more teams this season run.

0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:16.119
<v Speaker 2>When you say it like that, it's almost like football

0:18:16.160 --> 0:18:17.560
<v Speaker 2>doesn't have to be that hard.

0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:20.800
<v Speaker 3>Right, you know, if they got it and do the opposite.

0:18:20.840 --> 0:18:22.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, if they got a bunch of little ins, let's

0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:26.400
<v Speaker 2>get biggins. Yeah, you know, if they've got all biggins,

0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:28.560
<v Speaker 2>let's get little on INDs and run past them. So

0:18:29.160 --> 0:18:32.959
<v Speaker 2>it's it is definitely a way of doing business that

0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:35.360
<v Speaker 2>they are getting a kick out of I mean when

0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:38.320
<v Speaker 2>I went through the locker room yesterday talking to Icky,

0:18:38.480 --> 0:18:41.320
<v Speaker 2>talking to Rob Hunting and guys on the offensive line

0:18:41.320 --> 0:18:43.400
<v Speaker 2>about it, and you just see their eyes light up.

0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:46.679
<v Speaker 2>Who's like, yeah, this is what we enjoyed doing. Austin

0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:50.960
<v Speaker 2>korb But you know, Korbes sounds like he's narrating NFL

0:18:51.080 --> 0:18:54.200
<v Speaker 2>films when he starts talking about the run game. It's nasty,

0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:57.440
<v Speaker 2>it's dirty, like you know, they they get a kick

0:18:57.480 --> 0:18:59.120
<v Speaker 2>out of this, and I think people get a kick

0:18:59.119 --> 0:19:01.439
<v Speaker 2>out of seeing it. But because one thing, you know,

0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:05.359
<v Speaker 2>people respond in a very visceral way when their team

0:19:05.400 --> 0:19:08.919
<v Speaker 2>plays that kind of tough football. If you you know,

0:19:08.680 --> 0:19:12.680
<v Speaker 2>you weren't around, you weren't even born in the mid

0:19:12.800 --> 0:19:16.520
<v Speaker 2>nineties when Dom Capers was playing that kind of style.

0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:19.399
<v Speaker 2>You were alive. You just weren't here yet in twenty

0:19:19.400 --> 0:19:22.639
<v Speaker 2>two when they you know, hung five hundred and some

0:19:22.760 --> 0:19:26.840
<v Speaker 2>yards on Detroit out here into degree weather by running

0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:31.480
<v Speaker 2>for a million yards. So people like that, People respond

0:19:31.480 --> 0:19:33.800
<v Speaker 2>to it, and people in the Carolinas have become conditioned

0:19:33.800 --> 0:19:35.240
<v Speaker 2>to seeing it over the years.

0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:38.320
<v Speaker 3>I really really appreciate you thinking I wasn't alive in

0:19:38.400 --> 0:19:41.000
<v Speaker 3>nineteen ninety five. That may be the best part of

0:19:41.040 --> 0:19:41.320
<v Speaker 3>my day.

0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:43.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, I do it for the people.

0:19:43.240 --> 0:19:45.320
<v Speaker 3>So but yeah, I mean, you hear people say all

0:19:45.320 --> 0:19:49.280
<v Speaker 3>the time the most disrespectful thing you can do on

0:19:49.320 --> 0:19:51.400
<v Speaker 3>the football field is run the ball straight down their

0:19:51.400 --> 0:19:54.199
<v Speaker 3>throat and do it over and over where they know

0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:58.600
<v Speaker 3>what's coming, and you do it anyways. And so it's personality,

0:19:59.080 --> 0:20:02.280
<v Speaker 3>and I think there's a not to get too far

0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:04.439
<v Speaker 3>ahead of ourselves, but there's a chance to do that

0:20:04.480 --> 0:20:11.399
<v Speaker 3>again on Sunday. This Bengals team, their defense is balanced

0:20:11.520 --> 0:20:14.000
<v Speaker 3>in the fact that they're not letting one side of

0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:16.680
<v Speaker 3>the game get them more than the other. But there

0:20:16.720 --> 0:20:21.000
<v Speaker 3>is definitely an opportunity there to brun We saw Washington

0:20:21.000 --> 0:20:24.119
<v Speaker 3>do it the other night, and so I think that

0:20:24.240 --> 0:20:27.320
<v Speaker 3>again that's gonna, of course be what the Panthers come

0:20:27.320 --> 0:20:29.000
<v Speaker 3>out and do because Dave Canls wants that to be

0:20:29.080 --> 0:20:30.960
<v Speaker 3>their identity. And I think there's a chance to set

0:20:30.960 --> 0:20:31.919
<v Speaker 3>the tone early again.

0:20:32.240 --> 0:20:34.960
<v Speaker 2>Yep, no doubt, no doubt. And it's gonna be interesting.

0:20:35.000 --> 0:20:37.960
<v Speaker 2>And it's so fun watching Andy kind of go through

0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:41.840
<v Speaker 2>this moment in time because yes, since his first start

0:20:41.840 --> 0:20:43.639
<v Speaker 2>in a minute, you know, he got the one start

0:20:43.720 --> 0:20:46.040
<v Speaker 2>last year. But you know, it was it was a

0:20:46.119 --> 0:20:49.400
<v Speaker 2>chance in a good situation last week, and he made

0:20:49.400 --> 0:20:52.679
<v Speaker 2>the most of it. You know, he has been center stage.

0:20:52.720 --> 0:20:55.520
<v Speaker 2>He's getting a lot of attention, a lot of callback

0:20:56.520 --> 0:21:00.400
<v Speaker 2>for the haircut. He's he's probably working on on some

0:21:01.000 --> 0:21:05.920
<v Speaker 2>endorsement deals. He shared with us. It's American Crew fiber.

0:21:06.560 --> 0:21:09.639
<v Speaker 2>It's a grooming pace to use it. Yeah, that's the

0:21:09.680 --> 0:21:15.280
<v Speaker 2>pomode to you know, that's how he gets that glorious

0:21:15.320 --> 0:21:17.680
<v Speaker 2>mane of hair looking the way it looks, and so

0:21:18.160 --> 0:21:20.600
<v Speaker 2>he could probably he could probably sell that for a

0:21:20.680 --> 0:21:23.320
<v Speaker 2>lot of money right now, he could. You know, I'm

0:21:23.359 --> 0:21:25.640
<v Speaker 2>sure they're going to be fans spray painting their hair

0:21:25.760 --> 0:21:27.280
<v Speaker 2>orange on their way into the game.

0:21:27.359 --> 0:21:29.560
<v Speaker 3>But gosh, we should give out wigs.

0:21:29.600 --> 0:21:31.600
<v Speaker 2>That would be That would be amazing.

0:21:31.960 --> 0:21:32.760
<v Speaker 3>Bracketing on the phone.

0:21:32.800 --> 0:21:34.640
<v Speaker 2>I just think if we all show up with Andy

0:21:34.680 --> 0:21:37.800
<v Speaker 2>Dalton hair next week, how great would that be? But

0:21:39.160 --> 0:21:39.600
<v Speaker 2>maybe it.

0:21:39.560 --> 0:21:43.040
<v Speaker 3>Works better to see you with Andy Dalton here.

0:21:43.240 --> 0:21:47.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well we should photo shop that put Andy hare

0:21:47.119 --> 0:21:47.640
<v Speaker 2>on my head.

0:21:47.800 --> 0:21:49.160
<v Speaker 3>That will be done by the end of the day.

0:21:49.160 --> 0:21:53.600
<v Speaker 2>Now, yeah, great, tremendous. What could possibly go wrong? So

0:21:53.600 --> 0:21:56.919
<v Speaker 2>so anyway, Andy Cincinnati this week, he talked about it

0:21:56.960 --> 0:22:00.240
<v Speaker 2>being fun. That seems to be the word of the week,

0:22:00.320 --> 0:22:04.200
<v Speaker 2>didn't it fun and normal? Fun and normal? So Andy Yes,

0:22:04.359 --> 0:22:07.320
<v Speaker 2>was in Cincinnati for nine years. He I asked him

0:22:07.320 --> 0:22:11.280
<v Speaker 2>the important question skyline Chili, yes or no? He said,

0:22:11.440 --> 0:22:14.960
<v Speaker 2>he said gold Star, which was because gold Star Chili,

0:22:14.960 --> 0:22:18.399
<v Speaker 2>which is another Cincinnati chili franchise, was on his board

0:22:18.760 --> 0:22:21.880
<v Speaker 2>of his foundation up in Cincinnati. So good for him

0:22:21.920 --> 0:22:24.960
<v Speaker 2>to shout out his sponsors Cincinnati Chili.

0:22:25.080 --> 0:22:27.679
<v Speaker 3>No for you, no, and listen. I like all of

0:22:27.720 --> 0:22:29.760
<v Speaker 3>the things that are a part of it. I like

0:22:29.880 --> 0:22:32.720
<v Speaker 3>the spaghetti, I like chili. I like all of those things.

0:22:32.720 --> 0:22:34.680
<v Speaker 3>But for some reason, it just doesn't work when it's

0:22:34.680 --> 0:22:36.000
<v Speaker 3>all together the way they do it.

0:22:36.240 --> 0:22:39.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't mind it. I kind of like it.

0:22:39.040 --> 0:22:42.360
<v Speaker 2>I'll go five Way beans, onions, cheese, chili. Yeah.

0:22:43.000 --> 0:22:45.359
<v Speaker 3>I will say there is a restaurant in Cincinnati that

0:22:45.560 --> 0:22:48.240
<v Speaker 3>is some of the best food I've ever had. What's

0:22:48.280 --> 0:22:49.359
<v Speaker 3>that called The Eagle.

0:22:49.720 --> 0:22:52.520
<v Speaker 2>The Eagle in Cincinnati. I don't know when next time

0:22:52.560 --> 0:22:53.160
<v Speaker 2>we're there.

0:22:53.000 --> 0:22:54.320
<v Speaker 3>We'll have to skyline chili.

0:22:54.359 --> 0:22:56.200
<v Speaker 2>Go to the Eagle. You'll have to visit that. But

0:22:56.640 --> 0:22:58.919
<v Speaker 2>he is a fan of Joey Vado, which makes him

0:22:58.960 --> 0:23:01.199
<v Speaker 2>a good human being. My favorite baseball player of all

0:23:01.280 --> 0:23:04.040
<v Speaker 2>time said he met Joey a time or two when

0:23:04.040 --> 0:23:06.800
<v Speaker 2>he was up there, but he is all ours now.

0:23:06.840 --> 0:23:10.080
<v Speaker 2>He belongs to the correct queen city at this moment.

0:23:10.240 --> 0:23:12.639
<v Speaker 3>The only true queen city that's correct.

0:23:12.720 --> 0:23:14.840
<v Speaker 2>We've got a better airport, we've got better.

0:23:14.640 --> 0:23:16.680
<v Speaker 3>Food, and then we're named after an actual queen.

0:23:16.840 --> 0:23:21.680
<v Speaker 2>That's right. So all all good things here, So all right.

0:23:21.840 --> 0:23:26.080
<v Speaker 2>To wrap it up this week the Happy half Hour Jukebox,

0:23:26.200 --> 0:23:28.840
<v Speaker 2>you actually finally gave me a Taylor Swift song that

0:23:28.880 --> 0:23:30.720
<v Speaker 2>didn't make me want to drive into a bridge a

0:23:30.720 --> 0:23:34.480
<v Speaker 2>buttonte That was that paper Ring song. That's a bop.

0:23:34.560 --> 0:23:38.560
<v Speaker 2>That one is Bo's that's something you know what And

0:23:38.640 --> 0:23:40.800
<v Speaker 2>again you may not have been alive to remember this,

0:23:41.000 --> 0:23:44.240
<v Speaker 2>but that reminded me of a Blenda Carlisle and the

0:23:44.320 --> 0:23:47.359
<v Speaker 2>Go Gos kind of song. I mean, that is just

0:23:47.480 --> 0:23:50.359
<v Speaker 2>a perfect pop hook right there, is what that is.

0:23:50.920 --> 0:23:53.280
<v Speaker 3>She's she's good at the bridges and when, especially when

0:23:53.280 --> 0:23:56.520
<v Speaker 3>you give her a beat to put it to, you

0:23:56.640 --> 0:23:59.080
<v Speaker 3>just walk around kind of singing it. That one is

0:23:59.119 --> 0:24:01.199
<v Speaker 3>at the top of because when you asked for a

0:24:01.200 --> 0:24:03.520
<v Speaker 3>happy song last week, I thought of that one, and

0:24:03.520 --> 0:24:04.879
<v Speaker 3>then I was like, let me just see what Google

0:24:04.920 --> 0:24:06.800
<v Speaker 3>says to so I googled it and that was the

0:24:06.840 --> 0:24:09.280
<v Speaker 3>top of Google's list of Taylor Swift happy songs as well.

0:24:09.400 --> 0:24:12.800
<v Speaker 2>So you googled happy Taylor Swift songs as opposed to all.

0:24:12.760 --> 0:24:16.240
<v Speaker 3>The other all the other ones. That's also the top

0:24:16.280 --> 0:24:19.960
<v Speaker 3>of my I call paper Rings a perfect wedding reception song.

0:24:20.760 --> 0:24:24.640
<v Speaker 2>I can see that people are dancing, Yeah, people are happy.

0:24:24.359 --> 0:24:28.640
<v Speaker 3>And it's talking about getting married. If Taylor Swift didn't exist,

0:24:29.080 --> 0:24:31.880
<v Speaker 3>who would be your favorite artist? I think it would

0:24:31.920 --> 0:24:36.560
<v Speaker 3>depend on where I'm at in life, the time of day,

0:24:36.840 --> 0:24:40.680
<v Speaker 3>the weather today today with the rain and there today

0:24:40.920 --> 0:24:45.199
<v Speaker 3>I drove in listening to the Lumineers. Oh yeah, but

0:24:45.280 --> 0:24:47.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm also like this kind of weather this time of year,

0:24:48.040 --> 0:24:50.240
<v Speaker 3>I could go for some Noah Khan Okay.

0:24:50.480 --> 0:24:52.679
<v Speaker 2>So I was just curious. Sorry, I thought you were

0:24:52.680 --> 0:24:55.320
<v Speaker 2>going to say Metallica listen.

0:24:55.359 --> 0:24:57.919
<v Speaker 3>I listened to that song and at one point I

0:24:58.040 --> 0:25:01.119
<v Speaker 3>texted Darren a screenshot the song, and I said, does

0:25:01.200 --> 0:25:02.360
<v Speaker 3>this song ever end?

0:25:02.920 --> 0:25:03.040
<v Speaker 6>Like?

0:25:03.119 --> 0:25:05.000
<v Speaker 3>It just kept going that's.

0:25:04.840 --> 0:25:07.879
<v Speaker 2>The great thing about it. And I told you to

0:25:07.920 --> 0:25:10.720
<v Speaker 2>listen to my favorite Metallica song, The Four Horsemen. It

0:25:10.760 --> 0:25:12.639
<v Speaker 2>will be my walk up music when I become a

0:25:12.640 --> 0:25:14.320
<v Speaker 2>Major League basedball relief pitcher.

0:25:15.640 --> 0:25:17.840
<v Speaker 3>I think the reason it felt so long to me,

0:25:19.359 --> 0:25:23.399
<v Speaker 3>and I can appreciate that it was good music and

0:25:23.880 --> 0:25:26.399
<v Speaker 3>it takes a lot of talent. It just may not

0:25:26.440 --> 0:25:30.560
<v Speaker 3>be my style of listening. But I think the reason

0:25:30.600 --> 0:25:34.040
<v Speaker 3>it felt so long is because it was mostly instrumental.

0:25:34.680 --> 0:25:39.359
<v Speaker 3>There were very few like lyrics. And if I'm listening

0:25:39.400 --> 0:25:41.720
<v Speaker 3>to a six minute like Taylor's best song is ten

0:25:41.760 --> 0:25:44.320
<v Speaker 3>minutes long, but I'm listening to that whole thing because

0:25:44.359 --> 0:25:47.280
<v Speaker 3>it's like the whole thing is lyrics.

0:25:47.000 --> 0:25:48.760
<v Speaker 2>I feel like I'm gonna get that one soon as

0:25:48.840 --> 0:25:50.679
<v Speaker 2>payback for making you listen.

0:25:51.119 --> 0:25:54.439
<v Speaker 3>I seriously thought about it, but then I kill them

0:25:54.480 --> 0:25:58.239
<v Speaker 3>all album. I can appreciate the musicality of it, and

0:25:58.320 --> 0:25:59.760
<v Speaker 3>I did listen to it, and I listened to it

0:25:59.800 --> 0:26:01.480
<v Speaker 3>more once for your request.

0:26:03.000 --> 0:26:04.440
<v Speaker 2>That song is biblical.

0:26:04.600 --> 0:26:09.800
<v Speaker 3>That song is apocalypse, and I like googled some of

0:26:09.800 --> 0:26:12.920
<v Speaker 3>the words too to figure out what was going on afterwards.

0:26:13.359 --> 0:26:16.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm not lying. This is I swear to God. This

0:26:16.600 --> 0:26:18.840
<v Speaker 3>is exactly what I did. After I listened to it.

0:26:18.920 --> 0:26:22.199
<v Speaker 3>I turned on Billy Joel River of Dreams, just as

0:26:22.200 --> 0:26:23.160
<v Speaker 3>a palette cleanser.

0:26:24.680 --> 0:26:27.280
<v Speaker 2>And there you go. And this morning's big announcement Billy

0:26:27.560 --> 0:26:30.320
<v Speaker 2>Billy Joeling Sting coming to Bank of America's.

0:26:29.880 --> 0:26:32.120
<v Speaker 3>State, that was a completely natural next.

0:26:32.000 --> 0:26:36.639
<v Speaker 2>May it totally works out. So uh we Yeah, we

0:26:36.640 --> 0:26:40.080
<v Speaker 2>we both went to places we probably wouldn't ordinarily have

0:26:40.160 --> 0:26:44.240
<v Speaker 2>gotten to. I probably enjoyed the Taylor Swift song more

0:26:44.240 --> 0:26:48.200
<v Speaker 2>than you enjoyed the Metallica But that was also slightly

0:26:48.240 --> 0:26:52.399
<v Speaker 2>predictable because you don't strike me as Metallica people. I

0:26:52.600 --> 0:26:56.560
<v Speaker 2>very much am and won't be cutting my hair even

0:26:56.600 --> 0:26:59.359
<v Speaker 2>if I even if I was offered, even if you

0:26:59.400 --> 0:27:02.159
<v Speaker 2>gave me the opportunity to have Andy Dalton hair the

0:27:02.200 --> 0:27:04.720
<v Speaker 2>rest of my life, I don't think I would accept

0:27:04.720 --> 0:27:08.400
<v Speaker 2>that offer until after Metallica here on May Thury.

0:27:08.440 --> 0:27:10.760
<v Speaker 3>Right, You've got to keep the hair for that for sure, for.

0:27:10.680 --> 0:27:11.480
<v Speaker 2>Sure, no doubt.

0:27:11.600 --> 0:27:13.600
<v Speaker 3>So you know, you go, you enjoy your life. I

0:27:13.640 --> 0:27:15.760
<v Speaker 3>could be talking into that Billy Joe concert though.

0:27:15.720 --> 0:27:17.760
<v Speaker 2>There you go, there you go. Well, here's what you

0:27:17.800 --> 0:27:20.399
<v Speaker 2>can do this week. I will I will lighten the

0:27:20.440 --> 0:27:22.320
<v Speaker 2>mood a little bit. I'll let you have one of

0:27:22.359 --> 0:27:25.480
<v Speaker 2>my favorite songs of all time. Yeah, and if you

0:27:25.600 --> 0:27:29.280
<v Speaker 2>find This song actually has one of my favorite lyrics

0:27:29.680 --> 0:27:32.160
<v Speaker 2>that has ever been written. And you'll know it when

0:27:32.160 --> 0:27:33.679
<v Speaker 2>you hear it. Don't tell me what it is, let

0:27:33.720 --> 0:27:36.080
<v Speaker 2>me find you will get there. It is a song

0:27:36.160 --> 0:27:38.879
<v Speaker 2>called Spanish Pipe Dream by John Prime.

0:27:39.359 --> 0:27:40.440
<v Speaker 3>Oh. I love John Prime.

0:27:40.520 --> 0:27:43.639
<v Speaker 2>John Prime is the best, and he is. He is

0:27:43.680 --> 0:27:46.760
<v Speaker 2>one of the great songwriters of the American cannon. Yea,

0:27:47.320 --> 0:27:51.680
<v Speaker 2>he is funny in a way that smart people aren't always.

0:27:52.119 --> 0:27:54.840
<v Speaker 2>But Spanish pipe Dream by John Prime.

0:27:55.040 --> 0:27:57.600
<v Speaker 3>I haven't heard that one this so I'm looking forward

0:27:57.640 --> 0:28:01.359
<v Speaker 3>to it. Angel from Montgomery is another one of my

0:28:01.400 --> 0:28:02.399
<v Speaker 3>palate cleanser songs.

0:28:02.800 --> 0:28:04.280
<v Speaker 2>Question in all its forms.

0:28:04.320 --> 0:28:07.920
<v Speaker 3>Bonnie Ray, Yeah, oh, I have a version on my phone.

0:28:07.920 --> 0:28:12.679
<v Speaker 3>I'll let you listen to it, and it's it's John Prime,

0:28:13.119 --> 0:28:16.240
<v Speaker 3>and I know it. I don't think it's Bonnie Ray,

0:28:16.240 --> 0:28:18.680
<v Speaker 3>but it's somebody else with him.

0:28:19.480 --> 0:28:23.400
<v Speaker 2>He is a great collaborator. He loved working with all

0:28:23.480 --> 0:28:26.439
<v Speaker 2>kinds of artists in all kinds of genres. He's got

0:28:26.520 --> 0:28:30.840
<v Speaker 2>duets with Iris Dement, who's got a very distinctive voice.

0:28:31.760 --> 0:28:34.879
<v Speaker 2>Song called In Spite of Ourselves. It's another one of

0:28:34.880 --> 0:28:38.040
<v Speaker 2>my favorites. But you know, he's also collaborated with people,

0:28:38.080 --> 0:28:42.760
<v Speaker 2>including Kurt Vile. It's amazing. So former War on Drugs

0:28:42.800 --> 0:28:46.560
<v Speaker 2>guitarist who's now a solo act I've seen many times.

0:28:46.600 --> 0:28:48.600
<v Speaker 2>But good stuff. What do you got for me?

0:28:48.760 --> 0:28:51.480
<v Speaker 3>Okay? I have a couple of different options.

0:28:51.560 --> 0:28:54.120
<v Speaker 2>Well pick one, choose wisely.

0:28:54.680 --> 0:28:56.400
<v Speaker 3>Have you heard the song? And I think I'm gonna

0:28:56.440 --> 0:28:58.200
<v Speaker 3>go non Taylor.

0:28:58.400 --> 0:29:00.400
<v Speaker 2>What have you heard?

0:29:00.760 --> 0:29:03.120
