Speaker 1: This week on a Happy half Hour.
Speaker 2: Good news for Bryce.
Speaker 3: I mean, he's coming into a situation where the protection
Speaker 3: has been coold, you know, and Adam Feelen's back on
Speaker 3: the practice field as well. And if Adam is able
Speaker 3: to show that he's ready to be activated after a
Speaker 3: short week of practice, then you know, that's another benefit
Speaker 3: to Bryce as he goes into this deal.
Speaker 1: What's the cow. It's time for the Happy Half Hour,
Speaker 1: presented by Southern Star, an official bourbon of the Carolina Panthers.
Speaker 1: Here are your hosts, Darren Gant and Cassidy Hill.
Speaker 3: Hello, friends, and welcome to the Traffic Safety edition of
Speaker 3: the Happy Half Hour. We're gonna spend a lot of
Speaker 3: time doing public service announcements about you know, stopping at
Speaker 3: red lights and wearing your seat belts and cool stuff
Speaker 3: like that, because first and foremost, we are happy that
Speaker 3: Andy Dalton and his family are safe and secure. So
Speaker 3: it's going to be that kind of happy half hour.
Speaker 3: And as always, not that this fits with the public safety,
Speaker 3: traffic safety, but when you're safely at home. The Happy
Speaker 3: Half Hour is presented by a Southern Star and official
Speaker 3: bourbon partner of the Carolina Panthers. Celebrate the spirit of
Speaker 3: the Carolinas. When you're safely at home, do not drink
Speaker 3: and drive correct. That's at the top of the list.
Speaker 3: But yes, thank goodness for seat belts and airbags and
Speaker 3: all that kind of cool stuff, because the adorable Dalton
Speaker 3: family is safe and sound after a scary crash the
Speaker 3: other day, including Winnie the Dog.
Speaker 2: I looked in Vain.
Speaker 3: I put all my best investigative resources trying to find
Speaker 3: a picture of Winnie the Dogs, but couldn't really find
Speaker 3: a good one.
Speaker 4: Andy also told us that it's a mini golden doodle.
Speaker 4: If you have a mini golden doodle, I want that
Speaker 4: dog to have its on Instagram page. Yeah, I want
Speaker 4: daily pictures. I want updates on all that is going
Speaker 4: on in the life of Winnie the Many.
Speaker 3: It feels like it feels like they missed an opportunity there.
Speaker 3: I think that's part of the contract with dogs like that.
Speaker 3: If you have that kind of dog, it has to
Speaker 3: have a social media presence.
Speaker 4: So somebody should tell Andy I may do that.
Speaker 3: We'll work on that. But yes, thankfully, Winny the Dog
Speaker 3: and all of the other Daltons are safe and sound.
Speaker 3: But it has put a dent in the Carolina Panthers plans.
Speaker 3: You see what I did there? I did Yeah, soon
Speaker 3: too soon? Probably it could have gone so much worse.
Speaker 3: It really could have, literally and figuratively. But with that
Speaker 3: car accident the other day, again, fortunately Andy's okay, but
Speaker 3: he does have a sprained thumb, so grabbing a football
Speaker 3: and throwing it is problematic for him right now. And
Speaker 3: when that's literally your job description, that kind of makes
Speaker 3: it tough to go. So we're back to Bryce shawng
Speaker 3: heading out to Denver, and that's been the topic of
Speaker 3: all the conversations for the last forty eight hours.
Speaker 4: Yeah, anytime there's a quarterback change that's going to dominate
Speaker 4: the week, that's going to I was looking up something
Speaker 4: earlier about the Broncos. I just wanted something simple, like
Speaker 4: I think their record as so I googled Denver Broncos
Speaker 4: and all of the news stories at the top of
Speaker 4: the page were Denver reporters and outlets talking about the
Speaker 4: quarterback change and how they would now be facing Bryce Young.
Speaker 4: Not an easy week to step into if you're Bryce Young.
Speaker 4: Not an easy week to step into if you're any
Speaker 4: quarterback having to play against this Denver defense. Their top
Speaker 4: five in passing defense. I want to say in total
Speaker 4: defense maybe even.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's correct.
Speaker 3: Third, third in yards per game allowed, third in points
Speaker 3: per game allowed, fifth in passing yards per game allowed,
Speaker 3: and second in the league with twenty eight sacks.
Speaker 4: Ooh, not a fun Sunday, Bob. What are they in
Speaker 4: rushing defense?
Speaker 2: I didn't write that one down.
Speaker 4: You need to have answers for all of my possible questions.
Speaker 2: That's not part I could just make something up. Good
Speaker 2: is the answer.
Speaker 3: They're playing well on defense, and so whether it was handy,
Speaker 3: whether it was price, that was going to be a
Speaker 3: complicated ask anyway for the Carolina Panthers.
Speaker 4: Right, the twenty eight sacks really really stands out as well,
Speaker 4: because that's something and this is this is not a knock.
Speaker 4: This is just looking at a game, looking at the
Speaker 4: game as the key to the game. Bryce likes to
Speaker 4: kind of move around the pocket some. This might be
Speaker 4: one of those weeks where he really does have to
Speaker 4: just trust that his offensive line is going to protect
Speaker 4: him and hang in there because if you if you
Speaker 4: get out, they've got you and so and we've seen,
Speaker 4: you know, last year how tough he is willing to
Speaker 4: take some of those sacks if it means he gets
Speaker 4: the ball off in time. It's gonna have to probably
Speaker 4: be one of those cases where if you because if
Speaker 4: you give them an inch, they're taking you down, buddy.
Speaker 4: So this is an offensive line that is capable of
Speaker 4: providing a good, clean pocket and take advantage of it
Speaker 4: and let them protect you and do their job.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And the good news for Bryce, I mean, he's coming
Speaker 3: into a situation where the protection has been good, right,
Speaker 3: you know. And Taylor Motens back on the field yesterday.
Speaker 3: We'll see how he's going the rest of the week. Obviously,
Speaker 3: that would be a benefit to a already good offensive
Speaker 3: line if you get an old HEADLG. Temo back in there.
Speaker 3: Jonathan Brooks is doing more and more in practice. He's
Speaker 3: still in his practice window. But Adam Thielen's back on
Speaker 3: the practice field as well. And that's you know, as
Speaker 3: we know having seen Adam throughout last year when he
Speaker 3: and Bryce had such a connection. If Adam is able
Speaker 3: to show that he's ready to be activated after a
Speaker 3: short week of practice, then you know, that's another benefit
Speaker 3: to Bryce as he goes into this deal.
Speaker 4: Right, Adam would be huge because he's so helpful to
Speaker 4: have on those passes where you do have to get
Speaker 4: the ball out quick and you don't really have time
Speaker 4: to go through your reads and you just need to
Speaker 4: check it down. Adam Feeling's always there where you need
Speaker 4: him to be, So that would be huge. As you
Speaker 4: mentioned Timo, just if that's if you get Timo back
Speaker 4: in there. The only offensive lineman you're missing from the
Speaker 4: start of the sea is Austin Corporate and Brady Christensen
Speaker 4: is doing a pretty good job and so that's huge.
Speaker 4: And then on the other side of the ball to
Speaker 4: possibly get you know, Jadavian Clowney, Jose Jewel, both guys
Speaker 4: that were on the practice field yesterday, So was dj Wantum.
Speaker 4: I would be a little surprised if he plays on Sunday.
Speaker 3: Yeah, his practice for the first time, and that's a
Speaker 3: yike almost a year. And that's one of the things
Speaker 3: I wanted to bring up. I mean, the quarterback conversation
Speaker 3: obviously dominates it. If there is a website about football,
Speaker 3: it has had Andy Dalton traffic accident news on it
Speaker 3: this week, and so I just think that kind of
Speaker 3: takes up all the oxygen. But I want to, you know,
Speaker 3: spend a little bit of time talking about the other
Speaker 3: side of the ball, because on any other day, Jadavian
Speaker 3: Clowney coming back after missing two weeks with a shoulder injury,
Speaker 3: and having DJ Wantum on the practice field for the
Speaker 3: first time, even though it's probably ambitious to think he's
Speaker 3: going to be able to play this week, that would
Speaker 3: have been a huge deal. That would have been kind
Speaker 3: of stuff we spent all week talking about, and instead
Speaker 3: it's kind of an afterthought. But they're getting to that point.
Speaker 3: They're getting some dudes back, and that's going to be
Speaker 3: a benefit to Gero Everrow and the entire defensive staff.
Speaker 4: And you know, Dj want Them is obviously someone that
Speaker 4: you want on the field. You saw what you liked
Speaker 4: in him from Minnesota. You knew he could bring something
Speaker 4: to this defense opposite Jadevi and Clonne. Colonne talked yesterday
Speaker 4: about just the relationship the two of them have been
Speaker 4: able to form, even though he hasn't been playing all
Speaker 4: that to say, Charles Harris has been playing pretty well,
Speaker 4: and so if you get Charles Harris out there and
Speaker 4: you have Clowney back on the field just to kind
Speaker 4: of stabilize things and draw a little bit more attention,
Speaker 4: that leaves Charles Harris open to kind of make an impact,
Speaker 4: which he has. Simply having Cloonnie back on the field
Speaker 4: will stabilize a lot in that front seven.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and still there is a lot that's still up
Speaker 3: in the air because we don't know how close some
Speaker 3: of these guys are to getting back in uniform on
Speaker 3: Sunday and getting back on the field. But you know,
Speaker 3: Nick Scott wasn't on a practice fore yesterday, So if
Speaker 3: Jordan Fuller's not ready to go this weekend, you know
Speaker 3: they're gonna have to turn somewhere. Is that Sam Franklin
Speaker 3: to my Richard and what you know, Jamie Robinson somebody
Speaker 3: like that. Don't know yet because there's still a lot
Speaker 3: of uncertainty about that defense, but it does feel like
Speaker 3: it's beginning to stabilize. And just the idea seeing Josie
Speaker 3: Jewel out there, and this is nothing against any of
Speaker 3: the other guys who were out there with rookie signal
Speaker 3: caller Trevin Wallace, but having somebody like Josie next to
Speaker 3: him is going to have a calming effect on everything.
Speaker 3: And that was one of the things I kept going
Speaker 3: back to during the off season, was thinking the run
Speaker 3: defense had the potential to be a strength of this place.
Speaker 3: When you add a Nateshawn Robinson, a Josie Jewel as
Speaker 3: Shaq Thompson to a group that already had a Derek Brown. Again,
Speaker 3: there's some complications. Shaq and Derek no longer here. They're
Speaker 3: in the training room. Saw those guys yesterday and they're
Speaker 3: getting worked on and they're in good spirits. But you know,
Speaker 3: getting Josie back will be significant for the education of
Speaker 3: Trevin Wallace.
Speaker 4: Is exactly what I was about to say too, because
Speaker 4: even when Trevin continues to call the plays, you've now
Speaker 4: got somebody else out there who has worn that green
Speaker 4: dot before and can kind of just help translate for
Speaker 4: Trevin if need be, you know, just depending maybe make
Speaker 4: a few calls on the fly if need be, and
Speaker 4: kind of help facilitate that. That's a huge, huge help
Speaker 4: for Trevin Wallace. And also if you have Josie on
Speaker 4: the field this week, he's spent the past few years
Speaker 4: in Denver, he never played with bo Nicks, but he
Speaker 4: knows the rest of this offense pretty well, and so
Speaker 4: having just that familiarity could be huge.
Speaker 3: Yep, And maybe they can mix things up. Denver has
Speaker 3: not been a happy place for the Carolina Panthers. Obviously
Speaker 3: there's some Super Bowl fifty PTSD involved that wasn't even
Speaker 3: in Denver, but they're owing three out there all the time,
Speaker 3: so they're looking to change something else.
Speaker 4: It is a tough place to play.
Speaker 3: It is a tough place to play, and you know,
Speaker 3: it's the altitude, it's the crowd things, and also they're
Speaker 3: a pretty good team.
Speaker 2: Right now.
Speaker 3: I'm flashing back to John Fox who said it's not it's.
Speaker 2: Not where you play, it's who you play.
Speaker 4: Okay, well these are both tough and who so that
Speaker 4: makes it tough.
Speaker 3: But yeah, some of those games, I mean, obviously people
Speaker 3: are going to remember the Super Bowl. People are going
Speaker 3: to remember the sixteen opener when they blew a lately
Speaker 3: Graham gon O miss the field going late when they
Speaker 3: had a chance to win, drop the opener out there.
Speaker 3: The ninety seven game was about the ninety seven It
Speaker 3: was special. Darien Gordon returned two punts for touchdowns in
Speaker 3: the first quarter and I think they were like eighty
Speaker 3: two and seventy five yards, so that one got away
Speaker 3: from him earlier. The four game stands out my memory
Speaker 3: because that was the Julius Peppers play where ninety seven
Speaker 3: yard interception, not touchdown.
Speaker 4: Where did he intercept that ball out for it to
Speaker 4: be Let me actually, let me try to guess. I've
Speaker 4: not seen this play. Ninety seven yards but not a touchdown.
Speaker 4: Did he intercept it in the end zone?
Speaker 3: He did intercept it in the end zone and took
Speaker 3: it and took it to Okay, I have failed in
Speaker 3: my indoctrination of you because you have not seen one
Speaker 3: of the most amazing plays in franchise history.
Speaker 2: We will watch it today, we will.
Speaker 3: We will get to that later on this afternoon. But yeah,
Speaker 3: it was actually the cool thing about that game. There
Speaker 3: were two cool things I remember about that game, not
Speaker 3: just that play. And Julius he did intercept it in
Speaker 3: the end zone, took it the length of the field
Speaker 3: and basically ran out of gas at altitude. And Dan Morgan,
Speaker 3: now the GM and a pretty fit guy in his
Speaker 3: day as a middle linebacker. Dan's like, that's how you
Speaker 3: knew how special Julius was as an athlete because everyone
Speaker 3: else was out of gas, everyone other than him had
Speaker 3: dropped off the pace before. And Rod Smith, the old
Speaker 3: Broncos wide receiver, kind of got in the way and
Speaker 3: forced Julius to adjust and he ended up sort of
Speaker 3: tripping over the five yard line. But the play before
Speaker 3: that was the one. And that's the thing I remember
Speaker 3: about Denver Is Julius was capable of those big eye
Speaker 3: popping plays, but this one looked fairly simple. They were,
Speaker 3: you know, third and you know, third and goal from
Speaker 3: the three. Jake Plummer, who's a pretty mobile guy, is
Speaker 3: just gonna.
Speaker 4: Boot way related to Jack Pummer, not.
Speaker 3: Related to Jack Plumber, who we may or may not
Speaker 3: see this week. But Jake was a pretty mobile guy
Speaker 3: and all he was trying to do was bootleg quick
Speaker 3: to the corner and get there. Pretty easy play to
Speaker 3: make for a guy with wheels like Jake Plumber. Julius
Speaker 3: got cut on the play, was on the ground, gets up,
Speaker 3: runs Plumber down from behind, and gets him out of
Speaker 3: bound short of the goal.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 3: I mean, it was just one of those things where
Speaker 3: after the fact, it's like, that's not supposed to happen,
Speaker 3: that thing right there. But I also remember that game.
Speaker 3: One of my fond memories of Obscure Panthers passed Matt Willig,
Speaker 3: who has played Andre the Giant in movies. He's a
Speaker 3: gentleman of stature. It's like six ' eight three and
Speaker 3: forty pounds or something like that.
Speaker 2: Willig was playing right tackle that day and got called
Speaker 2: for a.
Speaker 3: Penalty and picked up the flag and threw it back
Speaker 3: at the official. So, yes, Denver contains multitudes for the
Speaker 3: Carolina Panthers.
Speaker 4: I don't think you can do that.
Speaker 3: No, that's against the rules. They frowned on that. That
Speaker 3: actually pushed him out of a field goal range late,
Speaker 3: and it was an ideal, but yeah, it was just
Speaker 3: the kind of you know, but in a week where
Speaker 3: in a week where the starting quarterback changes because of
Speaker 3: a traffic accident in South Charlotte, it feels appropriate that
Speaker 3: we're talking about Matt Willig throwing flags back at officials.
Speaker 4: We're just talking about anything and everything. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Oh and you know, speaking a story time with Uncle Darren.
Speaker 3: You were asking earlier we were talking about quarterback changes,
Speaker 3: and I said, well, I mean it's no Brian Saint Pierre.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I have no idea who that is.
Speaker 2: We gotta do.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to do football one oh one or
Speaker 3: Panthers football one oh one for this offseason where I
Speaker 3: just tell her all the strange and unusual stories.
Speaker 4: I would love to do a podcast where I go
Speaker 4: back and watch the best Panthers games that I've never
Speaker 4: seen live reaction.
Speaker 3: Do I get to offer commentary of all the sidebar
Speaker 3: stories that goes along with this kind of stuff. I
Speaker 3: might sign up for that podcast. Matt write just down
Speaker 3: in the notes, We'll work on this later.
Speaker 2: But no.
Speaker 3: In twenty ten, this was not a traffic accident, but
Speaker 3: Jimmy class and suffered a concussion the weekend before against Yeah,
Speaker 3: when a story starts with Jimmy Claws and you know
Speaker 3: it's good. Jimmy Clawson gets a concussion against the Bucks.
Speaker 3: They needed help in a hurry. So John Fox, in
Speaker 3: the middle of twenty ten's youth movement, when he had
Speaker 3: no interest in playing youth, urged them to go out
Speaker 3: and get a gentleman named Brian Saint Pierre, who had
Speaker 3: not thrown a football in Anger in two years, had
Speaker 3: been on the Steelers practice squad, bounced around, was in
Speaker 3: Arizona for a little bit. Saint Pierre rolls in here
Speaker 3: and ends up starting against the Baltimore Ravens. Bryan Saint
Speaker 3: Pierre what year and that would have been ten, twenty ten.
Speaker 4: So a pretty good Ravens defense.
Speaker 3: Yeah, ed Reid out of pick six that day. Ray
Speaker 3: Lewis was running around doing ray Lewis things. But Saint
Speaker 3: Pierre came here thinking he was going to hold a clipboard.
Speaker 2: I mean it was.
Speaker 3: Middle of the youth movement and played football in a
Speaker 3: couple of years. He was joking at the time about
Speaker 3: changing diapers a week ago. This time, I walk out
Speaker 3: on the practice field on Wednesday, and Brian Saint Pierre
Speaker 3: is not holding a clipboard. He is running with the
Speaker 3: ones in practice, and I distinctly recall calling his agent
Speaker 3: and saying, Rick, did you know your boy was coming
Speaker 3: here to start? And the agent said he's doing what.
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 3: To his credit, Brian Saint Pierre did play creditably against
Speaker 3: that pretty good Ravens defense. He had an eighty eight
Speaker 3: yard touchdown pass to David get Us. Yeah, another another
Speaker 3: blank stare from Cassidy. David get Us is one of
Speaker 3: the all time social media punches for Panthers fans because
Speaker 3: he was kind of a tease. He would catch an
Speaker 3: eighty eight yard touchdown pass and then you never really
Speaker 3: heard much from him for weeks and weeks, and people
Speaker 3: would always say.
Speaker 2: How's David get Us looking in practice.
Speaker 3: So yeah, depending on who you ask me, Jonathan Jones
Speaker 3: show person, they've gotten a good dose of how's David
Speaker 3: get Us looking out there? And that's one of those things.
Speaker 3: David was good player, Baylor guy, track guy, longstrider. He
Speaker 3: was a four hundred meter runner.
Speaker 2: But boy, well.
Speaker 4: Show itself in an eighty eight yard touchdown.
Speaker 2: We have gone way down the rabbit hole.
Speaker 3: We've gone from talking about Andy Dalton's dog to Matt Willig,
Speaker 3: Brian Saint Pierre and David get Us.
Speaker 4: And Andre the giants thrown in there.
Speaker 3: What have we become here on the happy half hour?
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's it's going to be interesting, and you know,
Speaker 3: there's obviously a lot to be done, but I do
Speaker 3: think there is some degree of opportunity for Bryce to
Speaker 3: get things right because they have been running the ball.
Speaker 3: So will I mean, we'll see how any of that goes.
Speaker 3: There's no it's you know, too soon to talk about
Speaker 3: what it means for the future. Does Andy go back
Speaker 3: in the line up when he's healthy any of that
Speaker 3: kind of stuff. I'm kind of assuming he does, just
Speaker 3: based on things Dave Canalis has said previously and by previously,
Speaker 3: I mean Monday and Wednesday and Wednesday, but you know,
Speaker 3: we'll see how it goes. It is another twist and
Speaker 3: another turn in this in this great saga of Carolina
Speaker 3: Panthers football this week.
Speaker 2: So what else? What else we got this week to cover?
Speaker 4: Don't forget that Sunday is National tight Ends Day, so
Speaker 4: tight ends should to.
Speaker 2: All who celebrate.
Speaker 3: I bet Jatavian Sanders is going to celebrate by wearing
Speaker 3: a big hat.
Speaker 4: That sounds like him. It seems like might possibly get
Speaker 4: Tommy back, and so that could be a good little get.
Speaker 4: That's a safety blanket for Bryce as well. And uh
Speaker 4: that's also a good you know, blitz Beeaters is having
Speaker 4: a tight end yep. And so if you've got we
Speaker 4: saw Jatavian Sanders kind of start to take steps forward
Speaker 4: the past couple of weeks as a pass catcher. I
Speaker 4: think having Ian Thomas on the field has been really
Speaker 4: good for JT because he doesn't have to worry about
Speaker 4: blocking as much. He can kind of focus on what
Speaker 4: he was known for coming out of college, which was
Speaker 4: being a really good pass catching tight end, something that
Speaker 4: he had struggled with a little bit his first few
Speaker 4: weeks in the NFL seen him take a step forward
Speaker 4: the past couple of weeks. I think he was even
Speaker 4: the leading receiver on Sunday. Yeah, six targets, six receptions.
Speaker 2: Much as it was.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And it was a little on purpose that we
Speaker 3: went straight into the news and not recap last week's game,
Speaker 3: because there's not a lot.
Speaker 4: To just forget last week's.
Speaker 3: Let's just pretend College Park ever happened and our trip
Speaker 3: to suburban Maryland. So it, uh, we'll let that one go.
Speaker 3: We'll get back with you next week. Oh, jukebox time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I was walking around humming your song earlier.
Speaker 4: I didn't even know if you heard it. Is that
Speaker 4: first little Gillian wilchis so high that that little opener,
Speaker 4: The whole song was good. I like the storytelling aspect
Speaker 4: of it, of course, anytime. It always makes like I
Speaker 4: say always, the few times I've listened to it in
Speaker 4: the past week, makes me think of a pageant queen.
Speaker 4: As was a story about a pageant queen. I don't
Speaker 4: know if it was, but you hear miss Ohio and
Speaker 4: that's what you think, m hm, Like, is this a
Speaker 4: girl chasing a crown? I don't again, I don't know
Speaker 4: if that was meant to be the case.
Speaker 3: I kind of picked that one a because she was
Speaker 3: just here in town and it was a concert I missed,
Speaker 3: and I always enjoy that song. But it's got one
Speaker 3: of my favorite lines, I want to do right but
Speaker 3: not right now, so story.
Speaker 4: Of my life. Yeah, but know that that little opening
Speaker 4: hook gets it. That's a good earworm. That just it's
Speaker 4: just your brain in the right way and kind of
Speaker 4: gets stuck in there. So yeah, good song. It My
Speaker 4: iPod I music app whatever you want to call it,
Speaker 4: kind of kept rolling through some more Gillian Welsh songs
Speaker 4: after that one was dying and it was enjoyable, especially
Speaker 4: this time of year. That was the right vibe.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was the right vibe. I'm actually glad with
Speaker 3: it everything going on. You told me to listen to
Speaker 3: Leon Bridges River and I've actually heard that song and
Speaker 3: was familiar with it and have seen Leon Bridges play
Speaker 3: that song next to a river in Charleston. Oh so
Speaker 3: that was pretty cool. But yeah, that was kind of
Speaker 3: the vibe. That was like the old spiritual almost him
Speaker 3: kind of vibe me to the river. It was it
Speaker 3: was kind of a song you need on a week
Speaker 3: like this, when there's traffic accidents and all kinds of
Speaker 3: mayhem and quarterback changes.
Speaker 2: And all this sort of news. But what do you got?
Speaker 2: What do you got for me this week?
Speaker 4: I do have a couple of options for you, But
Speaker 4: I was gonna say this real quick. I have a
Speaker 4: couple of Leon Bridges vinyl albums.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, And that.
Speaker 4: Is such a good little like moodsetter, Like if you're
Speaker 4: just turned like open the French doors to the porch,
Speaker 4: start cooking dinner, put a Leon Bridges on vinyl. That
Speaker 4: that sets a mood. I have a couple of options
Speaker 4: for you this week, because there's a chance you might
Speaker 4: have already heard a couple of these in celebration of
Speaker 4: the concert that will be happening here on Saturday night
Speaker 4: that we unfortunately, we will I say unfortunately, we will
Speaker 4: be in Denver, not unfortunately, but we will be in Denver.
Speaker 4: I am sad about missing the concert because it's for
Speaker 4: a great cause. What a freaking line up to and
Speaker 4: it's gonna be a lot of excitement for the people
Speaker 4: here in Charlotte and the people in the Carolinas. So
Speaker 4: if you have a chance, then there are still I
Speaker 4: don't even know if there are still tickets, but if
Speaker 4: there are, try to grab one. Come to Charlotte on
Speaker 4: Saturday night see very special concert in celebration of that.
Speaker 4: I've got two songs in mind. If you have heard
Speaker 4: both of them, we will go to my third option.
Speaker 4: My first song is Luke Calm's Where the Wild Things Are.
Speaker 3: That'll actually work for me because I am not I
Speaker 3: am familiar with Luke Calms as a general concept rather
Speaker 3: than his music in particular.
Speaker 4: Okay, listen to Where the Wild Things Are. Not to
Speaker 4: put pressure on you to enjoy it, but I will
Speaker 4: say this. The first time I heard that song, my
Speaker 4: brother and I were driving cross country to move me
Speaker 4: from Green Bay to Charlotte, and he I had listened
Speaker 4: to a lot of Lukecolm songs before, but for whatever reason,
Speaker 4: had not listened to that one. And my brother turned
Speaker 4: it on and all he said was who does this
Speaker 4: song make you think of? And he started playing it
Speaker 4: and we got through the first verse and into the
Speaker 4: first chorus, and I realized that there were tears running
Speaker 4: down my face. And I looked at him and he
Speaker 4: was like, I know, right. It reminded us so much
Speaker 4: of my uncle Terry, who passed away last year from als.
Speaker 4: Such a man lived so many lives, very very special man.
Speaker 4: And there are just so many little points in that song.
Speaker 4: He moved to Wyoming, not Hollywood like the brother does
Speaker 4: in the song, but there were. It sounds like a
Speaker 4: song that my dad would have sung about his brother,

Speaker 4: a good storytelling song. Luke sings it beautifully, So yeah,

Speaker 3: in high school. So Men at Work was big in
Speaker 3: the in the late eighties and early nineties, and they
Speaker 3: had a song.
