WEBVTT - Happy Half Hour Episode 27: The Left-handed Shrimper 0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:03.320 Hi, this is Dewey Jenkins. After my four years in 0:00:03.360 --> 0:00:05.640 the Navy, you're an A and I moved to Charlotte, 0:00:05.720 --> 0:00:08.520 even though neither of us were from here. I was 0:00:08.600 --> 0:00:11.200 from the Mountains of Virginia and she was from Florida, 0:00:11.360 --> 0:00:13.880 but we agreed that Charlotte was where we wanted to 0:00:13.920 --> 0:00:17.000 build our future together. I was a full time student 0:00:17.160 --> 0:00:19.360 at U n c C by day and ran a 0:00:19.440 --> 0:00:22.799 janitorial business that night. And a few years later I 0:00:22.880 --> 0:00:25.639 bought a little air conditioning company, and that's how I 0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:35.839 met you, and I'm really glad I did. It's time 0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:40.120 for the Happy half Hour when your friends Kristen Belboni 0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:50.120 and Will Brian presented by Morris Jenkins. That's right, it's 0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:51.920 that time of the week to happy have our podcast 0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:54.320 presented by Morris Jenkins. And Mr Jenkins told me his 0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:57.400 plumbers an a c Tex secretly where panthers jerseys under 0:00:57.440 --> 0:00:59.840 their uniforms. When you're plumbing or air conditioning is a 0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:03.560 thing up called Morris Jenkins, or visit Morris Jenkins dot com. 0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:07.319 Kristen here with my good friends Matt and Will. Everybody 0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:10.720 doing okay today? Yeah, little chili outside, It's kind of nice. 0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:13.160 It's finally chili. Well it's I guess the weather in 0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:15.640 North Carolina is getting the Panthers ready to go play 0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:18.520 up in Green Bay. Yeah, it's it's good prep. I mean, 0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:20.720 I'm glad I don't have to go up and play 0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:23.040 in Green Bay. Yes, yeah, that would be I mean 0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:25.360 for a number of reasons. Number one, you're not a 0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:27.560 professional football player. So if you were having to go 0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:30.240 up and play in Green Bay, we'd be in some 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:33.560 some trouble. There'd be some problems with that scenario, the 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:37.319 least just a couple. I remember, like three weeks ago, 0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:40.559 you had the exact weather report and you are Panther stats. 0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:42.560 I know that's not technically stats, but do you know 0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:44.000 off the top of your head what the weather looks 0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:46.120 like on Saturday nights. I think it's gonna be a 0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:49.440 little bit warmer than I originally projected. But you're saying 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:51.480 like sixteen degrees and it's going to be in the 0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:53.640 low thirties, right, it's gonna be a little warmer than that. 0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:57.520 We'll we'll see. There's always chances for precipitation in Green Bay. Always, 0:01:57.800 --> 0:01:59.600 it can come out of nowhere. Did you ever do 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:01.960 did you ever do a weather shift at any point, 0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:06.320 like in any local news or college. Growing up, my 0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:09.400 dad we only had two channels. We had ESPN and 0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:12.240 we had the Weather Channel, and so every time he 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:15.520 would switch from ESPN to watch like the weather on 0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:17.919 the local local on the eights or whatever, and then 0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:21.280 anytime Jim Cantori was on. So I grew up watching 0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:23.919 the Weather Channel for I. I don't know why you said. 0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:26.720 I mean you you said that so smoothly, like there's 0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:28.880 always a chance of precipitates, always a chance. I mean, 0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:31.440 you know there's precipitation this early in the morning. I 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:34.680 like it. You don't always get it's high pressures up there, 0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:37.360 except in low and low pressure systems come through, you know, 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:40.399 from dew points that are way high off the lake. 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:44.040 It causes few point it's what has happening. I don't 0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:46.160 You can throw in a couple of those words, and 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:48.000 I think I think the key is you throw in 0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:50.200 a couple of those and everyone's like, yes, sure makes 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:52.360 sense to me. I don't know what he's talking about. 0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:53.880 Do you know what you're talking about? That with you 0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:56.200 just saying that stuff. Yeah, so right now we're in 0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:59.120 a low pressure system. Okay, that that's what's causing the 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:02.560 rain outside. But then when the high pressure system, that's 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:04.600 when it's like really you know, when the sky feels 0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:07.080 really tall and there's like no clouds, you know, but 0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:08.760 you know it's like really clear and it feels like 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:13.079 a tall sky, that's high pressure. Interesting again, I have no, Matt, 0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:15.919 do you have any sense of if he's blowing smoke 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:18.480 or if he's telling the truth. I did weather in 0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:20.720 college for like the senior submits, all right, well then 0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:23.800 you should know, but I know nothing. I would always 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:26.280 just want to say it's raining and then make me 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:29.040 explain the pressure five more minutes, And I'm like, I 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:31.280 have no yeah, exactly, I'd have to waste five minutes 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:35.440 everyone's time explaining the weather. All right, let's talk about 0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:38.960 this game. We got a Saturday night game um up 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:43.720 in green Bay at Lambeau Panthers. Packers. Panthers coming off 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:46.440 of a tough loss where where Matt Rules said them, 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:48.880 you know, the effort was there, but the execution wasn't. 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:50.440 So certainly they've got a lot of work to do 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:53.440 this weekend practice to be ready for a very very 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:56.240 good green Bay team on Saturday night. This green Bay 0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:58.720 offense in a lot of ways that kind of fly 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:01.240 onto the radar maybe a little bit. You know, you don't, 0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:03.560 I mean, you hear about them, but you don't really 0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:05.800 know until you like look at it. And I looked 0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:08.160 at it this week, and oh my goodness. I mean, 0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:11.600 they're you know, leading the league in points, their second 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:14.720 in like every other offensive category except for rushing, in 0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:18.679 which their ninth. They're they're their red zone. They score 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:21.360 touchdowns on seventy seven point one percent of their red 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:24.480 zone trips, which is the second highest since that stat 0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:27.200 has ever been kept seventy seven point one. The second 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:29.960 place team this year is like seventy point two. They 0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:32.920 score touchdowns every time they get inside of it. And 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:38.760 you know, it's just another incredibly experienced, incredibly talented legend 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:42.359 at quarterback that this very young Panther's defense is facing again. 0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:44.600 I mean, they've had the gauntlet all season long and 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:47.520 Aaron Rodgers one of the best to ever do it. Yep, 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:50.960 and and he the thing now in December, he's playing 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:53.560 for you know, their neck and neck with New Orleans 0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:55.640 for that. You know, obviously, the playoffs this here a 0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:58.400 little bit different. There's only one by but they're they're 0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:00.320 playing for that home field advantage. He he has been 0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:02.839 to four NFC Championships and they've all been on the road. 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:04.760 He wants to be able to host one up there 0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:07.560 in Lambeau, you know. And so there they are, you know, 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:09.760 pedal to the metal, trying to win these last three 0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:12.560 games and get that home home field advantage when the 0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:16.680 weather isn't crazy cold? Um, do you think that will 0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:19.920 have any impact on this Panthers team who hasn't played 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:22.400 in I mean, I mean it's gonna be thirty uh 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:25.320 something degrees, low thirties and as you said, always a 0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:28.280 chance of precipitation. Does that come into play at all? 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:30.680 I mean, it's not going to be nine degrees, right, 0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:33.000 What do you think? I think maybe a little bit. 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:35.520 I think it's part of it will be maybe more 0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:39.440 so the footing. I think Lambeau typically has pretty good footing. 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:42.320 But what we saw on Monday night in that Ravens 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:45.000 Browns game, the Ravens came in, they all were wearing 0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:47.400 the wrong cleats and like they're all just slipping and 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:50.960 falling for three quarters. So I'd be curing out. Yeah, 0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:53.520 I mean that that's so like random things like that 0:05:53.640 --> 0:05:56.359 can maybe have an impact of just things that you know. 0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:59.920 Thankfully this this team, you know, the equipment managers, most 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:02.880 some of these players were there last year literally almost 0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:04.480 kind of you know, a year to the day, maybe 0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:06.440 a couple of couple of weeks earlier, but you know, 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:08.440 they played in that before. They know what the fuel 0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:10.800 conditions are, like, they know what happens when it's this 0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:13.440 temperature and this much snow or this much rain or 0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:15.880 this you know, how average ry it is. So I 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:18.680 think from that standpoint, they'll be pretty prepared UM. And 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:20.479 then the young guys in some ways it kind of 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:22.680 like helps you in some ways. It's kind of a 0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:25.840 I mean, Derek Brown talked yesterday, he's excited. Oh yeah. 0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:29.160 I mean it's it's almost kind of a rather than 0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:32.480 oh my god, it's gonna impact us, it's kind of 0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:35.960 an amplifier of of kind of emotion. Oh yeah. I 0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:38.640 don't think they think it's gonna impact them or that 0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:41.080 they're worried about it. But at what point, I guess 0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:43.839 was my question in a professional football game, do you say, okay, 0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:45.839 weather might be a factor in this UM And I 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:49.359 think you laid out some of the potential things that 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:51.919 we should watch out for. But no, I know the 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:54.320 Derek Brown's, the Jerry Chins. They're all excited, and they're 0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:57.160 excited because they're going to play in Lambeau UM, which 0:06:57.200 --> 0:07:00.080 is incredible. Of course it's not the normal Lambeau with 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:03.280 the fans, but it's still just such an iconic venue. 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:06.400 It's an iconic place to play. UM. So that got 0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:09.960 me thinking. I thought we should name our most our 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:14.200 personal list of most iconic venues in sports. So are 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:17.160 these ones we've been to or just just like if 0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:19.960 you I mean if you've gone, like that's no mark 0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:21.960 against you or anything like that, but you don't have 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:24.000 to have gone, just places that you're like, man, I 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:26.040 would love to see a sporting event or like that's 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:31.280 the essence of sports. Watching a game at this place. Okay, 0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:33.320 because I think I think Lambo is on there. Oh, 0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:37.760 absolutely right, I'll go first, uh Fenway Park. Now I am. 0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:39.800 I grew up a Red Sox fan. My dad is 0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:42.440 from Massachusetts. That's the only Boston team that I have 0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:46.360 any affiliation with. Then they're quite a bit. I love it. Um. 0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:49.280 I know that people who when I lived in Connecticut, 0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:51.960 you know people that go to a lot of sporting 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:53.960 events or maybe are a fan of one of the 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:56.120 New York teams talk about, you know how small and 0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:58.400 cramped it is, and it is. I remember the first 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:01.040 time I'd been to Finway pretty much exclusively, like as 0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:04.520 a kid in terms of um like baseball games. And 0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:06.880 then I remember going to City Field or Yankee Stadium 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:08.240 for the first time and I was like, oh my gosh, 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:10.320 this is like a movie theater. See like you got 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:13.680 a cup older your need, like my knees are are 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:16.560 really like just right in. The person in front of 0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:18.760 me is back and I'm sure so I just can't 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:21.800 imagine what, you know, a normal a normal size like 0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:24.880 man feels going to Fenway and sitting there. But I 0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:27.880 just absolutely love it, like I think it's it's incredible, 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:31.000 it's iconic. There's so much history there. So that's that's 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:34.040 my number one will. What about yours Madison Square Garden. 0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:38.719 It's been renovated, so it's not the old I I 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:41.360 worked at the old one maybe ten years ago, and 0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:43.960 it was had kind of the seventies vibe. It was 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:47.040 like purple and yeah you worked at like you did 0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:49.720 you cover a game there? John's I worked for St. John's. 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:52.000 So yeah, we we had eight nine games there a year. 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:54.240 So and then like the Big the Big East Tournament 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:57.880 and the old the Old Big East with Syracuse and 0:08:57.880 --> 0:09:00.040 and all the I mean, there was nothing like it. 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:05.880 It was the most iconic sporting weekend in in America, 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:08.200 I think, I mean because I mean, you had everyone 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:11.280 in New York was there. Everyone. It was incredible. That's 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:13.960 a good one, Matt, what about you. I'll took an um. 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:17.640 That's okay, you don't have to pick a different There's 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:20.280 another one. I'm not a big baseball guy, but um, 0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:22.920 Wrigley Field and Finnway Park were both the two baseball 0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:25.360 stadiums I show. It's just because they're like Yankee Stadium, 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:27.160 tore down their old stadium and build a new one. 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:29.040 I'm sure it's great, but it's like, why would you 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:30.599 get rid of all that history and all that I 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:32.920 don't know, that's just my opinion. I think what Finnway 0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:35.720 and Wrigley has done with just keeping it all these 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:39.120 years is really cool. Is my second UM on my 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:42.200 list for the same reasons. And I put Fenway above 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:44.320 Wrigley because I'm a Red Sex fan. But I've had 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:47.080 the chance to go to Wrigley. It's awesome. It's exactly 0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:50.920 gives you the exact same feeling that Um that Fenway 0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:53.280 does of just the history. And then there's the Ivy. 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:55.679 It's just it's awesome. So that's that's my number two. 0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:57.920 What do you got? Well, Um, I'm gonna go a 0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:00.720 little bit deeper dive on this one. I've been there 0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:06.600 the Plestra in Philadelphia, home of the Penn Quakers and 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:10.520 the UM what do they call the five the Philadelphia 0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:13.120 and they played like their Tournament of the Five. Yeah, 0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:14.600 I don't know the name of it, but I know 0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:16.040 what you're talking about. It. I mean it's from like 0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:19.199 what nineteen eighteen. I mean, it's it's old. It is 0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:22.360 it's incredible. UM. And the the history that they have 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:24.680 in the concourse, they like redid the concourse a little 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:27.720 bit to kind of really showcase all of the iconic 0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:30.280 college basketball things that have happened there, people that have 0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:32.680 come through there. UM, and it's just kind of like 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:36.600 this really really old. It's almost like a temple, you know, 0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:40.240 just kind of like sitting in this like grassy you know, 0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:42.520 quad in the middle of Penn's campus and it's like, 0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:45.000 oh my God, that's the Palstra. It's it's really cool, 0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:49.679 very well put rose ball. Yeah, that would be a 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:51.880 fun one to go to. UM, I don't know if 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:53.760 we go college football. I think I can name about 0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:55.720 ten teams that I if I don't go in my 0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:57.880 lifetime to see those stadiums, that would be really upset. 0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:01.800 And you can go wherever you want your list. My 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:06.200 third is Lambeau UM for obvious reasons. We already talked 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:08.920 about it. It's just like you said, almost like a 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:11.360 temple in that sense where it's like this is this 0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:16.360 is football, Like this epitomizes football to me, UM, and 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:18.520 it's just incredible. I haven't had a chance to go. 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:23.480 I wish that we were going this weekend. UM. But 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:25.480 but yeah, that's that to me is the three. And 0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:29.360 then to me that's where the list, my personal list 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:32.200 cuts off, Like if I think iconic and I like 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:33.720 all the ones that you guys picked too, but that's 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:35.920 where I go, Okay, that's my that's my top tier. 0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:39.240 Other places or places that I would um absolutely love 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:41.120 to go see a game or have loved going to 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:43.000 see a game, But that is that is my list. 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:44.760 But by no means do I want to cut you 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:47.840 guys off because MAT's got twelve, it's going to keep going. 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:49.400 All right, Well, what's your next? Well, I mean I 0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:51.040 was going to say, you know, for like Matt's ten 0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:53.960 other places, you know, I would think like Notre Dame, Michigan. Yeah, 0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:55.920 you know, the Big House, the Big House, I mean, 0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:58.840 all of those places. So in that spirit, I'm certainly 0:11:58.840 --> 0:12:03.240 giving them props. But I think it's worthy for consideration 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:07.040 camp New I think I'm saying that correctly. It's the 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:12.040 home of Barcelona. It's the largest stadium in Europe and 0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:15.480 the fourth largest in the world. Yeah, that's awesome. And 0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:18.480 I just couldn't imagine like they had a hundred and 0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:22.160 twenty thousand for like a Premier League final like twenty 0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:25.720 years ago. I just couldn't imagine a soccer match in 0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:28.000 that sort of that kind of that gives me goose bumps. 0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:30.480 And I don't know much about it, you know. That's uh. 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:32.120 I'm glad that you brought that up, But yeah, that 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:34.640 gives me goose bumps just thinking about that, you know, 0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:36.839 And I'm like, can you imagine in Barcelona like a 0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:41.720 people like goodness, can you imagine living nearby? I always 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:45.120 think about that, you know, just like living nearby on 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:47.920 that day, we're like, alright, I guess we gotta go, 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:52.360 or you know, be out of town. Um what you got. Um. 0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:54.480 It's gonna seem bias. But I really think if you're 0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:56.640 a college football fan, if you don't go to a 0:12:56.640 --> 0:12:58.600 game at L s U, I really don't think you 0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:01.360 can say you've experienced all that college football has offer. 0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:02.640 I'm not gonna say it's the best, because I know 0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:05.680 everybody has a different not even the best Death Valley. Okay, 0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:07.560 it's not even the best. I don't want to get 0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:12.320 into that, because it absolutely is an iconic venue. I 0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:14.720 think if you're a college football junkie, I think that 0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:18.880 is in the discussion for top five stadiums, and maybe 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:21.439 not so much the stadium itself, but just the atmosphere. 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:23.319 It's got to be an L s U game. It's 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:25.400 got to be a night game. Like I think if 0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:27.480 you did, if you get that perfect recipe, I don't 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:30.920 think any any football junkie period would stick their nose 0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:32.040 up in that and be like I don't want to 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:34.079 go see that. That would be stupid. I think I 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:36.200 think it's an iconic place to go watch a game, 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:39.040 but I wouldn't say it's it's my personal top ten. 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:41.760 I don't think it necessarily fits the criteria of Madison 0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:44.960 Square Garden or Finnway Park or anywhere close to. But again, 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:49.200 your list made, Matt. When we open back up, when 0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:52.320 like this pandemic is over, I'm taking you to Clemson. 0:13:52.360 --> 0:13:54.240 You take me to l s U. I've been to Clemson. 0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:57.679 I'm it's okay, but I will gladly go with you, 0:13:57.720 --> 0:13:59.960 and I will gladly take you to a game at LSU. 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:01.880 That would be be awesome. That's cool, guys. I'll just 0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:05.760 sit at home. You guys have fun. It's fine. That's cool. 0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:10.880 You've you've been to all these two, haven't you? Really? No, 0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:12.719 I've never been to those two. I've been to a lot, 0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:14.720 but I haven't been to either of those. Also, the 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:17.760 Swamps cool, though I don't invite men, it's fine. I 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:20.440 hate the University of Florida more than anything, but the 0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:23.080 Swamp is is pretty cool. To go see a game there. 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:24.960 It gets really loud, and they have those corners that 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:26.480 stick out and they're like orange, and they have that 0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:29.240 blue font. It's pretty cool. All right, You got any 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:32.640 more that you want to get in on your list. No, 0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:34.840 I'm good. We just laughed at how assertive Will was 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:37.320 with his like, that's going to just name every SEC 0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:43.520 stadium football stadium and that's pretty good too, Hair, just 0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:47.240 all of them, all right. This is the Happy Half 0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:49.880 Hour podcast presented by Morris Jackens, and Mr Jenkins told 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:51.920 me that he loves football and he looks forward to 0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:55.040 this show all week. When you're plumbing or air conditioning 0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:57.920 is acting up, called Morris Jackens or visit Morris Jenckens 0:14:57.960 --> 0:14:59.640 dot com. We're gonna take a quick break and we 0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:03.920 will back with more. Hi, this is Dewey Jenkins. After 0:15:04.040 --> 0:15:06.440 my four years in the Navy, Renee and I moved 0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:09.640 to Charlotte, even though neither of us were from here. 0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:11.920 I was from the Mountains of Virginia and she was 0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:14.920 from Florida, but we agreed that Charlotte was where we 0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:17.760 wanted to build our future together. I was a full 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:20.480 time student at U n c C by day and 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:23.720 ran a janitorial business that night. And a few years 0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:26.840 later I bought a little air conditioning company and that's 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:29.880 how I met you, and I'm really glad I did 0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:32.520 all right. Back here on the Happy half hour podcast 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:35.000 presented by Morris Jenkins. Right, will it is time for 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:37.160 your stat of the week, the moment everyone's been waiting for. 0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:47.600 Obviously the time ficks every day of the week. So 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:50.920 last week Jeremy Chin, never heard of him, got a 0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:54.040 sack of forced fumble, first stack of the year. We 0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:57.080 all know about his two touchdowns at Minnesota, so how 0:15:57.080 --> 0:16:01.280 about this first stat Jeremy Chin two touchdowns, also one sack, 0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:05.200 at least one sack, interception, tackle for loss, forced fumble, 0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:08.280 fumble recovery. Oh, and he has ninety four tackles. There 0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:11.920 is no other player in the NFL with two touchdowns 0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:15.000 and at least one of all of those defensive stats. 0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:17.880 It's incredible, no other player. I mean, he does it all. 0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:19.800 It does it all. It's just weird to think, I know, 0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:21.200 we say this every week. It's weird to think that 0:16:21.240 --> 0:16:24.360 he's a rookie doing the way he plays. A second 0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:27.120 round rookie too, which is pretty I mean, his resume 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:28.600 seems like it would be like a first round, like 0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:30.080 a top five pick, like what you were saying a 0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:32.240 few weeks ago. You feel like that would be Isaiah Simmons. 0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:35.440 But it's not. It's the second round pick from Southern Illinois. 0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:38.360 It's weird to think back on a time what's called 0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:42.520 four or five months ago where people still had questions like, 0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:45.040 who is this Jeremy Chin guy, and you know, is 0:16:45.080 --> 0:16:46.720 he gonna pan out? I mean at that point, I 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:50.160 feel like when the Panthers drafted him and everyone got 0:16:50.240 --> 0:16:53.360 to see his his tape and what he was capable of, 0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:56.320 and and here Marty Herny and Matt Rule talk about him, 0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:58.440 and you look at his uncle, who's a Hall of Famer, 0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:01.760 Steve Atwater. I like, the people started to talk like, oh, 0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:04.320 this guy could be really good. You know, there were 0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:07.560 even before the season started you saw kind of in 0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:10.600 the media like could he be a potential defensive rookie 0:17:10.680 --> 0:17:14.520 of the Year. But still no one really knew how 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:16.720 he was gonna pan out going out onto the field, 0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:18.880 just like this entire young defense. And it's just weird 0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:20.480 to think about a time where he's like, really, that 0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:22.960 was only three or four months ago, and now, I mean, 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:25.000 it's just every week he's doing something different, and he 0:17:25.160 --> 0:17:27.760 you know, he doesn't always you know, he doesn't look 0:17:28.200 --> 0:17:32.040 necessarily like a big linebacker. You know, he doesn't look 0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:36.000 like but he's just he's in every play, and I 0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:38.840 think you know that that's something that you sometimes you 0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:41.760 take for granted until you see it again. You know, 0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:43.920 like there's there's a linebacker that was here for a 0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:47.439 while that was in every play, and there's and it's like, 0:17:47.480 --> 0:17:50.160 it's really nice. Remember that. It's like, oh my gosh, 0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:52.959 you know, he's he's every I mean, and that's literally 0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:55.399 what we felt like, you know, the ball popped out, Oh, 0:17:55.440 --> 0:17:58.359 Jeremy Chinn gott you know, it's just like who of 0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:01.120 course it was Jeremy Chin around. Just think about that. 0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:04.960 And when he didn't play um in the game at 0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:08.600 Kansas City, another iconic venue, Arrowhead, there were a lot 0:18:08.600 --> 0:18:11.440 of questions about, Okay, how many different guys are gonna 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:13.919 fill in for all the things that he does? And 0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:17.160 that is by no means any slight to any other 0:18:17.320 --> 0:18:21.800 player on that defense. He just does like seven different things. Yeah, 0:18:21.840 --> 0:18:24.199 you need like fifteen players in the field, which I 0:18:24.240 --> 0:18:28.200 think I think Baltimore actually had on Monday Night football, 0:18:28.200 --> 0:18:31.800 which was pretty amazing. Uh But Matt, you I want 0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:34.120 to make sure I give you credit for this. You 0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:38.400 had an idea in honor of Jeremy Chin for something 0:18:38.400 --> 0:18:40.600 that we should be doing on this podcast today, and 0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:44.000 I accidentally said in the group text that it was Will's. 0:18:44.040 --> 0:18:46.560 I'd accidentally and there was just a lot of hurt 0:18:46.600 --> 0:18:47.959 feelings about it. So I just want to make sure 0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:50.520 I'm gonna let you introduce the idea. Make sure everyone 0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:54.520 knows this was Matt's idea once again, Matt's idea, Matt 0:18:54.520 --> 0:18:57.240 taken away. Well, now it seems like I'm being petty, 0:18:57.280 --> 0:19:01.040 you know, I'm kidding. Um. Yes, So the idea was 0:19:01.080 --> 0:19:03.720 everybody's talking about Jeremy Chin's resume, and I thought it 0:19:03.720 --> 0:19:06.239 would be a cool idea. What are three things on 0:19:06.320 --> 0:19:09.200 y'all's resume? Not like a work resume, but something that 0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:12.200 you would put on a resume of, just like interesting 0:19:12.240 --> 0:19:15.360 little facts or anecdotes about you and what you've done 0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:18.439
