Speaker 1: Hi, this is Dewey Jenkins. After my four years in
Speaker 1: the Navy, you're an A and I moved to Charlotte,
Speaker 1: even though neither of us were from here. I was
Speaker 1: from the Mountains of Virginia and she was from Florida,
Speaker 1: but we agreed that Charlotte was where we wanted to
Speaker 1: build our future together. I was a full time student
Speaker 1: at U n c C by day and ran a
Speaker 1: janitorial business that night. And a few years later I
Speaker 1: bought a little air conditioning company, and that's how I
Speaker 1: met you, and I'm really glad I did. It's time
Speaker 1: for the Happy half Hour when your friends Kristen Belboni
Speaker 1: and Will Brian presented by Morris Jenkins. That's right, it's
Speaker 1: that time of the week to happy have our podcast
Speaker 1: presented by Morris Jenkins. And Mr Jenkins told me his
Speaker 1: plumbers an a c Tex secretly where panthers jerseys under
Speaker 1: their uniforms. When you're plumbing or air conditioning is a
Speaker 1: thing up called Morris Jenkins, or visit Morris Jenkins dot com.
Speaker 1: Kristen here with my good friends Matt and Will. Everybody
Speaker 1: doing okay today? Yeah, little chili outside, It's kind of nice.
Speaker 1: It's finally chili. Well it's I guess the weather in
Speaker 1: North Carolina is getting the Panthers ready to go play
Speaker 1: up in Green Bay. Yeah, it's it's good prep. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm glad I don't have to go up and play
Speaker 1: in Green Bay. Yes, yeah, that would be I mean
Speaker 1: for a number of reasons. Number one, you're not a
Speaker 1: professional football player. So if you were having to go
Speaker 1: up and play in Green Bay, we'd be in some
Speaker 1: some trouble. There'd be some problems with that scenario, the
Speaker 1: least just a couple. I remember, like three weeks ago,
Speaker 1: you had the exact weather report and you are Panther stats.
Speaker 1: I know that's not technically stats, but do you know
Speaker 1: off the top of your head what the weather looks
Speaker 1: like on Saturday nights. I think it's gonna be a
Speaker 1: little bit warmer than I originally projected. But you're saying
Speaker 1: like sixteen degrees and it's going to be in the
Speaker 1: low thirties, right, it's gonna be a little warmer than that.
Speaker 1: We'll we'll see. There's always chances for precipitation in Green Bay. Always,
Speaker 1: it can come out of nowhere. Did you ever do
Speaker 1: did you ever do a weather shift at any point,
Speaker 1: like in any local news or college. Growing up, my
Speaker 1: dad we only had two channels. We had ESPN and
Speaker 1: we had the Weather Channel, and so every time he
Speaker 1: would switch from ESPN to watch like the weather on
Speaker 1: the local local on the eights or whatever, and then
Speaker 1: anytime Jim Cantori was on. So I grew up watching
Speaker 1: the Weather Channel for I. I don't know why you said.
Speaker 1: I mean you you said that so smoothly, like there's
Speaker 1: always a chance of precipitates, always a chance. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know there's precipitation this early in the morning. I
Speaker 1: like it. You don't always get it's high pressures up there,
Speaker 1: except in low and low pressure systems come through, you know,
Speaker 1: from dew points that are way high off the lake.
Speaker 1: It causes few point it's what has happening. I don't
Speaker 1: You can throw in a couple of those words, and
Speaker 1: I think I think the key is you throw in
Speaker 1: a couple of those and everyone's like, yes, sure makes
Speaker 1: sense to me. I don't know what he's talking about.
Speaker 1: Do you know what you're talking about? That with you
Speaker 1: just saying that stuff. Yeah, so right now we're in
Speaker 1: a low pressure system. Okay, that that's what's causing the
Speaker 1: rain outside. But then when the high pressure system, that's
Speaker 1: when it's like really you know, when the sky feels
Speaker 1: really tall and there's like no clouds, you know, but
Speaker 1: you know it's like really clear and it feels like
Speaker 1: a tall sky, that's high pressure. Interesting again, I have no, Matt,
Speaker 1: do you have any sense of if he's blowing smoke
Speaker 1: or if he's telling the truth. I did weather in
Speaker 1: college for like the senior submits, all right, well then
Speaker 1: you should know, but I know nothing. I would always
Speaker 1: just want to say it's raining and then make me
Speaker 1: explain the pressure five more minutes, And I'm like, I
Speaker 1: have no yeah, exactly, I'd have to waste five minutes
Speaker 1: everyone's time explaining the weather. All right, let's talk about
Speaker 1: this game. We got a Saturday night game um up
Speaker 1: in green Bay at Lambeau Panthers. Packers. Panthers coming off
Speaker 1: of a tough loss where where Matt Rules said them,
Speaker 1: you know, the effort was there, but the execution wasn't.
Speaker 1: So certainly they've got a lot of work to do
Speaker 1: this weekend practice to be ready for a very very
Speaker 1: good green Bay team on Saturday night. This green Bay
Speaker 1: offense in a lot of ways that kind of fly
Speaker 1: onto the radar maybe a little bit. You know, you don't,
Speaker 1: I mean, you hear about them, but you don't really
Speaker 1: know until you like look at it. And I looked
Speaker 1: at it this week, and oh my goodness. I mean,
Speaker 1: they're you know, leading the league in points, their second
Speaker 1: in like every other offensive category except for rushing, in
Speaker 1: which their ninth. They're they're their red zone. They score
Speaker 1: touchdowns on seventy seven point one percent of their red
Speaker 1: zone trips, which is the second highest since that stat
Speaker 1: has ever been kept seventy seven point one. The second
Speaker 1: place team this year is like seventy point two. They
Speaker 1: score touchdowns every time they get inside of it. And
Speaker 1: you know, it's just another incredibly experienced, incredibly talented legend
Speaker 1: at quarterback that this very young Panther's defense is facing again.
Speaker 1: I mean, they've had the gauntlet all season long and
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers one of the best to ever do it. Yep,
Speaker 1: and and he the thing now in December, he's playing
Speaker 1: for you know, their neck and neck with New Orleans
Speaker 1: for that. You know, obviously, the playoffs this here a
Speaker 1: little bit different. There's only one by but they're they're
Speaker 1: playing for that home field advantage. He he has been
Speaker 1: to four NFC Championships and they've all been on the road.
Speaker 1: He wants to be able to host one up there
Speaker 1: in Lambeau, you know. And so there they are, you know,
Speaker 1: pedal to the metal, trying to win these last three
Speaker 1: games and get that home home field advantage when the
Speaker 1: weather isn't crazy cold? Um, do you think that will
Speaker 1: have any impact on this Panthers team who hasn't played
Speaker 1: in I mean, I mean it's gonna be thirty uh
Speaker 1: something degrees, low thirties and as you said, always a
Speaker 1: chance of precipitation. Does that come into play at all?
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not going to be nine degrees, right,
Speaker 1: What do you think? I think maybe a little bit.
Speaker 1: I think it's part of it will be maybe more
Speaker 1: so the footing. I think Lambeau typically has pretty good footing.
Speaker 1: But what we saw on Monday night in that Ravens
Speaker 1: Browns game, the Ravens came in, they all were wearing
Speaker 1: the wrong cleats and like they're all just slipping and
Speaker 1: falling for three quarters. So I'd be curing out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean that that's so like random things like that
Speaker 1: can maybe have an impact of just things that you know.
Speaker 1: Thankfully this this team, you know, the equipment managers, most
Speaker 1: some of these players were there last year literally almost
Speaker 1: kind of you know, a year to the day, maybe
Speaker 1: a couple of couple of weeks earlier, but you know,
Speaker 1: they played in that before. They know what the fuel
Speaker 1: conditions are, like, they know what happens when it's this
Speaker 1: temperature and this much snow or this much rain or
Speaker 1: this you know, how average ry it is. So I
Speaker 1: think from that standpoint, they'll be pretty prepared UM. And
Speaker 1: then the young guys in some ways it kind of
Speaker 1: like helps you in some ways. It's kind of a
Speaker 1: I mean, Derek Brown talked yesterday, he's excited. Oh yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's almost kind of a rather than
Speaker 1: oh my god, it's gonna impact us, it's kind of
Speaker 1: an amplifier of of kind of emotion. Oh yeah. I
Speaker 1: don't think they think it's gonna impact them or that
Speaker 1: they're worried about it. But at what point, I guess
Speaker 1: was my question in a professional football game, do you say, okay,
Speaker 1: weather might be a factor in this UM And I
Speaker 1: think you laid out some of the potential things that
Speaker 1: we should watch out for. But no, I know the
Speaker 1: Derek Brown's, the Jerry Chins. They're all excited, and they're
Speaker 1: excited because they're going to play in Lambeau UM, which
Speaker 1: is incredible. Of course it's not the normal Lambeau with
Speaker 1: the fans, but it's still just such an iconic venue.
Speaker 1: It's an iconic place to play. UM. So that got
Speaker 1: me thinking. I thought we should name our most our
Speaker 1: personal list of most iconic venues in sports. So are
Speaker 1: these ones we've been to or just just like if
Speaker 1: you I mean if you've gone, like that's no mark
Speaker 1: against you or anything like that, but you don't have
Speaker 1: to have gone, just places that you're like, man, I
Speaker 1: would love to see a sporting event or like that's
Speaker 1: the essence of sports. Watching a game at this place. Okay,
Speaker 1: because I think I think Lambo is on there. Oh,
Speaker 1: absolutely right, I'll go first, uh Fenway Park. Now I am.
Speaker 1: I grew up a Red Sox fan. My dad is
Speaker 1: from Massachusetts. That's the only Boston team that I have
Speaker 1: any affiliation with. Then they're quite a bit. I love it. Um.
Speaker 1: I know that people who when I lived in Connecticut,
Speaker 1: you know people that go to a lot of sporting
Speaker 1: events or maybe are a fan of one of the
Speaker 1: New York teams talk about, you know how small and
Speaker 1: cramped it is, and it is. I remember the first
Speaker 1: time I'd been to Finway pretty much exclusively, like as
Speaker 1: a kid in terms of um like baseball games. And
Speaker 1: then I remember going to City Field or Yankee Stadium
Speaker 1: for the first time and I was like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: this is like a movie theater. See like you got
Speaker 1: a cup older your need, like my knees are are
Speaker 1: really like just right in. The person in front of
Speaker 1: me is back and I'm sure so I just can't
Speaker 1: imagine what, you know, a normal a normal size like
Speaker 1: man feels going to Fenway and sitting there. But I
Speaker 1: just absolutely love it, like I think it's it's incredible,
Speaker 1: it's iconic. There's so much history there. So that's that's
Speaker 1: my number one will. What about yours Madison Square Garden.
Speaker 1: It's been renovated, so it's not the old I I
Speaker 1: worked at the old one maybe ten years ago, and
Speaker 1: it was had kind of the seventies vibe. It was
Speaker 1: like purple and yeah you worked at like you did
Speaker 1: you cover a game there? John's I worked for St. John's.
Speaker 1: So yeah, we we had eight nine games there a year.
Speaker 1: So and then like the Big the Big East Tournament
Speaker 1: and the old the Old Big East with Syracuse and
Speaker 1: and all the I mean, there was nothing like it.
Speaker 1: It was the most iconic sporting weekend in in America,
Speaker 1: I think, I mean because I mean, you had everyone
Speaker 1: in New York was there. Everyone. It was incredible. That's
Speaker 1: a good one, Matt, what about you. I'll took an um.
Speaker 1: That's okay, you don't have to pick a different There's
Speaker 1: another one. I'm not a big baseball guy, but um,
Speaker 1: Wrigley Field and Finnway Park were both the two baseball
Speaker 1: stadiums I show. It's just because they're like Yankee Stadium,
Speaker 1: tore down their old stadium and build a new one.
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's great, but it's like, why would you
Speaker 1: get rid of all that history and all that I
Speaker 1: don't know, that's just my opinion. I think what Finnway
Speaker 1: and Wrigley has done with just keeping it all these
Speaker 1: years is really cool. Is my second UM on my
Speaker 1: list for the same reasons. And I put Fenway above
Speaker 1: Wrigley because I'm a Red Sex fan. But I've had
Speaker 1: the chance to go to Wrigley. It's awesome. It's exactly
Speaker 1: gives you the exact same feeling that Um that Fenway
Speaker 1: does of just the history. And then there's the Ivy.
Speaker 1: It's just it's awesome. So that's that's my number two.
Speaker 1: What do you got? Well, Um, I'm gonna go a
Speaker 1: little bit deeper dive on this one. I've been there
Speaker 1: the Plestra in Philadelphia, home of the Penn Quakers and
Speaker 1: the UM what do they call the five the Philadelphia
Speaker 1: and they played like their Tournament of the Five. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know the name of it, but I know
Speaker 1: what you're talking about. It. I mean it's from like
Speaker 1: what nineteen eighteen. I mean, it's it's old. It is
Speaker 1: it's incredible. UM. And the the history that they have
Speaker 1: in the concourse, they like redid the concourse a little
Speaker 1: bit to kind of really showcase all of the iconic
Speaker 1: college basketball things that have happened there, people that have
Speaker 1: come through there. UM, and it's just kind of like
Speaker 1: this really really old. It's almost like a temple, you know,
Speaker 1: just kind of like sitting in this like grassy you know,
Speaker 1: quad in the middle of Penn's campus and it's like,
Speaker 1: oh my God, that's the Palstra. It's it's really cool,
Speaker 1: very well put rose ball. Yeah, that would be a
Speaker 1: fun one to go to. UM, I don't know if
Speaker 1: we go college football. I think I can name about
Speaker 1: ten teams that I if I don't go in my
Speaker 1: lifetime to see those stadiums, that would be really upset.
Speaker 1: And you can go wherever you want your list. My
Speaker 1: third is Lambeau UM for obvious reasons. We already talked
Speaker 1: about it. It's just like you said, almost like a
Speaker 1: temple in that sense where it's like this is this
Speaker 1: is football, Like this epitomizes football to me, UM, and
Speaker 1: it's just incredible. I haven't had a chance to go.
Speaker 1: I wish that we were going this weekend. UM. But
Speaker 1: but yeah, that's that to me is the three. And
Speaker 1: then to me that's where the list, my personal list
Speaker 1: cuts off, Like if I think iconic and I like
Speaker 1: all the ones that you guys picked too, but that's
Speaker 1: where I go, Okay, that's my that's my top tier.
Speaker 1: Other places or places that I would um absolutely love
Speaker 1: to go see a game or have loved going to
Speaker 1: see a game, But that is that is my list.
Speaker 1: But by no means do I want to cut you
Speaker 1: guys off because MAT's got twelve, it's going to keep going.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, what's your next? Well, I mean I
Speaker 1: was going to say, you know, for like Matt's ten
Speaker 1: other places, you know, I would think like Notre Dame, Michigan. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, the Big House, the Big House, I mean,
Speaker 1: all of those places. So in that spirit, I'm certainly
Speaker 1: giving them props. But I think it's worthy for consideration
Speaker 1: camp New I think I'm saying that correctly. It's the
Speaker 1: home of Barcelona. It's the largest stadium in Europe and
Speaker 1: the fourth largest in the world. Yeah, that's awesome. And
Speaker 1: I just couldn't imagine like they had a hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty thousand for like a Premier League final like twenty
Speaker 1: years ago. I just couldn't imagine a soccer match in
Speaker 1: that sort of that kind of that gives me goose bumps.
Speaker 1: And I don't know much about it, you know. That's uh.
Speaker 1: I'm glad that you brought that up, But yeah, that
Speaker 1: gives me goose bumps just thinking about that, you know,
Speaker 1: And I'm like, can you imagine in Barcelona like a
Speaker 1: people like goodness, can you imagine living nearby? I always
Speaker 1: think about that, you know, just like living nearby on
Speaker 1: that day, we're like, alright, I guess we gotta go,
Speaker 1: or you know, be out of town. Um what you got. Um.
Speaker 1: It's gonna seem bias. But I really think if you're
Speaker 1: a college football fan, if you don't go to a
Speaker 1: game at L s U, I really don't think you
Speaker 1: can say you've experienced all that college football has offer.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say it's the best, because I know
Speaker 1: everybody has a different not even the best Death Valley. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's not even the best. I don't want to get
Speaker 1: into that, because it absolutely is an iconic venue. I
Speaker 1: think if you're a college football junkie, I think that
Speaker 1: is in the discussion for top five stadiums, and maybe
Speaker 1: not so much the stadium itself, but just the atmosphere.
Speaker 1: It's got to be an L s U game. It's
Speaker 1: got to be a night game. Like I think if
Speaker 1: you did, if you get that perfect recipe, I don't
Speaker 1: think any any football junkie period would stick their nose
Speaker 1: up in that and be like I don't want to
Speaker 1: go see that. That would be stupid. I think I
Speaker 1: think it's an iconic place to go watch a game,
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't say it's it's my personal top ten.
Speaker 1: I don't think it necessarily fits the criteria of Madison
Speaker 1: Square Garden or Finnway Park or anywhere close to. But again,
Speaker 1: your list made, Matt. When we open back up, when
Speaker 1: like this pandemic is over, I'm taking you to Clemson.
Speaker 1: You take me to l s U. I've been to Clemson.
Speaker 1: I'm it's okay, but I will gladly go with you,
Speaker 1: and I will gladly take you to a game at LSU.
Speaker 1: That would be be awesome. That's cool, guys. I'll just
Speaker 1: sit at home. You guys have fun. It's fine. That's cool.
Speaker 1: You've you've been to all these two, haven't you? Really? No,
Speaker 1: I've never been to those two. I've been to a lot,
Speaker 1: but I haven't been to either of those. Also, the
Speaker 1: Swamps cool, though I don't invite men, it's fine. I
Speaker 1: hate the University of Florida more than anything, but the
Speaker 1: Swamp is is pretty cool. To go see a game there.
Speaker 1: It gets really loud, and they have those corners that
Speaker 1: stick out and they're like orange, and they have that
Speaker 1: blue font. It's pretty cool. All right, You got any
Speaker 1: more that you want to get in on your list. No,
Speaker 1: I'm good. We just laughed at how assertive Will was
Speaker 1: with his like, that's going to just name every SEC
Speaker 1: stadium football stadium and that's pretty good too, Hair, just
Speaker 1: all of them, all right. This is the Happy Half
Speaker 1: Hour podcast presented by Morris Jackens, and Mr Jenkins told
Speaker 1: me that he loves football and he looks forward to
Speaker 1: this show all week. When you're plumbing or air conditioning
Speaker 1: is acting up, called Morris Jackens or visit Morris Jenckens
Speaker 1: dot com. We're gonna take a quick break and we
Speaker 1: will back with more. Hi, this is Dewey Jenkins. After
Speaker 1: my four years in the Navy, Renee and I moved
Speaker 1: to Charlotte, even though neither of us were from here.
Speaker 1: I was from the Mountains of Virginia and she was
Speaker 1: from Florida, but we agreed that Charlotte was where we
Speaker 1: wanted to build our future together. I was a full
Speaker 1: time student at U n c C by day and
Speaker 1: ran a janitorial business that night. And a few years
Speaker 1: later I bought a little air conditioning company and that's
Speaker 1: how I met you, and I'm really glad I did
Speaker 1: all right. Back here on the Happy half hour podcast
Speaker 1: presented by Morris Jenkins. Right, will it is time for
Speaker 1: your stat of the week, the moment everyone's been waiting for.
Speaker 1: Obviously the time ficks every day of the week. So
Speaker 1: last week Jeremy Chin, never heard of him, got a
Speaker 1: sack of forced fumble, first stack of the year. We
Speaker 1: all know about his two touchdowns at Minnesota, so how
Speaker 1: about this first stat Jeremy Chin two touchdowns, also one sack,
Speaker 1: at least one sack, interception, tackle for loss, forced fumble,
Speaker 1: fumble recovery. Oh, and he has ninety four tackles. There
Speaker 1: is no other player in the NFL with two touchdowns
Speaker 1: and at least one of all of those defensive stats.
Speaker 1: It's incredible, no other player. I mean, he does it all.
Speaker 1: It does it all. It's just weird to think, I know,
Speaker 1: we say this every week. It's weird to think that
Speaker 1: he's a rookie doing the way he plays. A second
Speaker 1: round rookie too, which is pretty I mean, his resume
Speaker 1: seems like it would be like a first round, like
Speaker 1: a top five pick, like what you were saying a
Speaker 1: few weeks ago. You feel like that would be Isaiah Simmons.
Speaker 1: But it's not. It's the second round pick from Southern Illinois.
Speaker 1: It's weird to think back on a time what's called
Speaker 1: four or five months ago where people still had questions like,
Speaker 1: who is this Jeremy Chin guy, and you know, is
Speaker 1: he gonna pan out? I mean at that point, I
Speaker 1: feel like when the Panthers drafted him and everyone got
Speaker 1: to see his his tape and what he was capable of,
Speaker 1: and and here Marty Herny and Matt Rule talk about him,
Speaker 1: and you look at his uncle, who's a Hall of Famer,
Speaker 1: Steve Atwater. I like, the people started to talk like, oh,
Speaker 1: this guy could be really good. You know, there were
Speaker 1: even before the season started you saw kind of in
Speaker 1: the media like could he be a potential defensive rookie
Speaker 1: of the Year. But still no one really knew how
Speaker 1: he was gonna pan out going out onto the field,
Speaker 1: just like this entire young defense. And it's just weird
Speaker 1: to think about a time where he's like, really, that
Speaker 1: was only three or four months ago, and now, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just every week he's doing something different, and he
Speaker 1: you know, he doesn't always you know, he doesn't look
Speaker 1: necessarily like a big linebacker. You know, he doesn't look
Speaker 1: like but he's just he's in every play, and I
Speaker 1: think you know that that's something that you sometimes you
Speaker 1: take for granted until you see it again. You know,
Speaker 1: like there's there's a linebacker that was here for a
Speaker 1: while that was in every play, and there's and it's like,
Speaker 1: it's really nice. Remember that. It's like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: you know, he's he's every I mean, and that's literally
Speaker 1: what we felt like, you know, the ball popped out, Oh,
Speaker 1: Jeremy Chinn gott you know, it's just like who of
Speaker 1: course it was Jeremy Chin around. Just think about that.
Speaker 1: And when he didn't play um in the game at
Speaker 1: Kansas City, another iconic venue, Arrowhead, there were a lot
Speaker 1: of questions about, Okay, how many different guys are gonna
Speaker 1: fill in for all the things that he does? And
Speaker 1: that is by no means any slight to any other
Speaker 1: player on that defense. He just does like seven different things. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you need like fifteen players in the field, which I
Speaker 1: think I think Baltimore actually had on Monday Night football,
Speaker 1: which was pretty amazing. Uh But Matt, you I want
Speaker 1: to make sure I give you credit for this. You
Speaker 1: had an idea in honor of Jeremy Chin for something
Speaker 1: that we should be doing on this podcast today, and
Speaker 1: I accidentally said in the group text that it was Will's.
Speaker 1: I'd accidentally and there was just a lot of hurt
Speaker 1: feelings about it. So I just want to make sure
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you introduce the idea. Make sure everyone
Speaker 1: knows this was Matt's idea once again, Matt's idea, Matt
Speaker 1: taken away. Well, now it seems like I'm being petty,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm kidding. Um. Yes, So the idea was
Speaker 1: everybody's talking about Jeremy Chin's resume, and I thought it
Speaker 1: would be a cool idea. What are three things on
Speaker 1: y'all's resume? Not like a work resume, but something that
Speaker 1: you would put on a resume of, just like interesting
Speaker 1: little facts or anecdotes about you and what you've done
Speaker 1: a work resume. Okay, I went the wrong way with this.
Speaker 1: So these are real things, right, Yeah? They can't be
Speaker 1: made up. They gotta be things that you can actually
Speaker 1: have a pogn track record on or I just actually accomplished.
Speaker 1: All I do is work, Like what else again? I do? Like?
Speaker 1: What else can it be? If it's not? Okay? I
Speaker 1: have to be anything, all right? I don't want to
Speaker 1: brag really fast, hyper, really fast hyper. I will put
Speaker 1: that down. I don't know if that's like I thought
Speaker 1: we were doing it. When you say resume, I like
Speaker 1: you would be impressed. You'd be like, wow, look at
Speaker 1: those fingers flying over the keyboard. Wow. Do you she's
Speaker 1: got it together? Do you mash the way that Bill does? No?
Speaker 1: I use my Okay, first of all, this is a podcast.
Speaker 1: No one can see that. Okay. When we were in
Speaker 1: elementary school or middle school or whatever, they put these
Speaker 1: like black asks over keyboards. Do you remember those. They're
Speaker 1: like you can't even like type in your password until
Speaker 1: you figure this out. And let me tell you what.
Speaker 1: I'm a fast typer. I use my two index fingers
Speaker 1: still like I'm I'm pretty fast, but I don't use
Speaker 1: the fool tin tin digits. I would smoke you in
Speaker 1: a typing race. All right, all right, well what do
Speaker 1: you um? I'm a shrimper? Really? Yes you are? That's cool,
Speaker 1: Yes you are. Yeah, I I've can shrimp. I've shrimped.
Speaker 1: I have caught the shrimp. You've caught the shrimp. I've
Speaker 1: caught the spy. Not a lot of people have caught
Speaker 1: the shrimp. I have done Um, I have done the thing.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, my family Massachu siss is gonna kill me.
Speaker 1: Where you go and uh dig the clams with your
Speaker 1: feet or your toes? You know what I mean. It's
Speaker 1: like you get go into a bog. I can't remember
Speaker 1: exactly which it's like. It's like a I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's like a small bothering of water, like cranberry dog
Speaker 1: or you know. But it's like you go into a
Speaker 1: I don't know why, I even I don't even know
Speaker 1: what it's called, Like what the is it? Clams or anyway?
Speaker 1: Cut all this out. I wouldn't put this part on
Speaker 1: my wet, muddy ground. Too soft to support a heavy
Speaker 1: body exactly what why does it? What does it matter
Speaker 1: about a heavy body? That's just what the Google says.
Speaker 1: Like a pete bog, I guess if you were like
Speaker 1: three pounds, it wouldn't quite Also, if you were in Britain,
Speaker 1: it would be a bathroom. Guys, we've gone off the rails,
Speaker 1: all right, Matt, what's yours? Alright? So I have three
Speaker 1: things one by one? Okay. So the first thing I
Speaker 1: have is I celebrated on the field and in the
Speaker 1: locker room with the Ravens after the Super Bowl against
Speaker 1: the Saints. That's cool. Now, okay, here's my question. How
Speaker 1: is that on your resume? That's just you're just bragging. Yeah, Like,
Speaker 1: what is that? Completely redoing this? That's kind of a skill.
Speaker 1: What is the skill? I'm I'm good at politics. I'm
Speaker 1: at the right that is true. That is without credentials.
Speaker 1: By the way, how did that happen? That seems like
Speaker 1: some sort of violation. No, I am friends with do
Speaker 1: you know Grady Jarrett for the Falcons, the defensive tackle.
Speaker 1: His father and my dad worked together for a long time,
Speaker 1: and ray Lewis was gradies um like mentor and trainer,
Speaker 1: and so they were friends of ray Lewis and it
Speaker 1: was his Super Bowl and I got to go for
Speaker 1: some reason. That's cool. Yeah, alright, like I'm bragging. I
Speaker 1: don't well, I canna heard one in that direction. I
Speaker 1: have one that's a fun fact that if we're going
Speaker 1: in that sort of a resume thing, I mean already
Speaker 1: broughout my typing skills, so I guess so if it's
Speaker 1: going off bad, it's because I will I when I
Speaker 1: was in third grade, He says, No, No, skill or
Speaker 1: anything like that. I want a trip to Hawaii to
Speaker 1: meet Mary Kay n Ashley Olson. So that's that's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: But it's not. I mean, it's not like, what do
Speaker 1: I say that on my resume? You know, I didn't
Speaker 1: do anything except for winter trip. It's true, not a
Speaker 1: losing Well what you got now I'm rethinking all of this. No,
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm gonna go my list. So I would put,
Speaker 1: like on a work resume, I just don't have any
Speaker 1: skills because I would think like these would be something
Speaker 1: that could like stand out and be really different than
Speaker 1: you wouldn't see on a resume, but that could be
Speaker 1: like a interview point of conversation. So I would put
Speaker 1: left handed because I think you can go a lot
Speaker 1: of different places with that. Again, guys, we we would
Speaker 1: have terrible resumes. These aren't skills. We each will and
Speaker 1: I had each a left handed trimper. I mean, how
Speaker 1: is that? How is that not the best opener for
Speaker 1: a job interview? Ever, that might be the title of
Speaker 1: the podcast, right left handed trimper left handed shrimp for
Speaker 1: my next to our skills. If that makes you feel anybody,
Speaker 1: I ran out, So I just used that one and
Speaker 1: you're right, it was kind of bragging. But the second
Speaker 1: one is I have traveled the Ring Road in Iceland twice.
Speaker 1: So that's kind of a skill. That's something I went
Speaker 1: and did. Why do you do it again? So I
Speaker 1: did it with my buddy in college, my roommate. We went.
Speaker 1: We had money when we're about to graduate. We wanted
Speaker 1: to go to a trip. We have been saving up
Speaker 1: for it. So we went to Iceland because I've always
Speaker 1: wanted to go to Iceland. And they have one interstate
Speaker 1: and it's called Interstate one and it goes all the
Speaker 1: way in a circle around the Iceland uh little island.
Speaker 1: And so we did that that. We just rented a
Speaker 1: car and drove it. And then when I got engaged,
Speaker 1: I wanted to do it somewhere that wasn't in Greenville,
Speaker 1: South Carolina, So I went to ice and again took
Speaker 1: her and we did the same thing. So I've done
Speaker 1: it twice and I would do it five more times.
Speaker 1: Aren't there like some really cool waterfalls like right off that? Yeah?
Speaker 1: So like every I guess it takes about twenty ish
Speaker 1: hours to go all the way around, and so every
Speaker 1: day it's like a different you know, five or six
Speaker 1: hour section and every section is super different. So you
Speaker 1: start at Raikovic, which is the western coast west northwest coast,
Speaker 1: and you go around and so it's a bunch of
Speaker 1: icy mountains, and then you go down to the plains
Speaker 1: but it's still icy. And then you go to the
Speaker 1: section that looks like Mars, and then you come down
Speaker 1: to the southern coast and it's a bunch of waterfalls
Speaker 1: and like the ocean and beaches. It's really nice. I
Speaker 1: recommend it for anyone who's like a big travel une.
Speaker 1: That sounds wonderful. Yeah, well we'll go there after we
Speaker 1: go to Clemson. Yes, that'd be fun. I'll take We're
Speaker 1: not taking Christen though. They don't have any skills. NY
Speaker 1: I'm believing this podcast done. Um yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't really have any like cool skills. I'm kind
Speaker 1: of running out. I can score games like I used
Speaker 1: to score Baseball games, like keep the official statuet and
Speaker 1: um scores. I haven't done it in a while, but
Speaker 1: I could do it manually and then computer software I
Speaker 1: did it with for USA Baseball, so the score was
Speaker 1: all on me. I think it's pretty cool. I did
Speaker 1: kept score fast too if you were typing it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's true. She used both hands. I'm not left handed. Um,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I always thought that was something. That's that's
Speaker 1: pretty cool. Um, all right, what you got. I'm done.
Speaker 1: I'm leaving. I can't I can't top that. Everything else
Speaker 1: is just trivia dot. That's bad. I feel like this
Speaker 1: game didn't go great. I'm learning a lot. I mean
Speaker 1: the point is, none of us are gonna compare to Germany.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, like I've been. I've been on the
Speaker 1: field of the super Bowl. If we're like that, that's
Speaker 1: pretty cool though, yeah, I would put that on. I
Speaker 1: don't know anyways. My last thing I got in high school,
Speaker 1: I made a fake documentary about a fake vaping league.
Speaker 1: Wait can we see this? Have you? This is about
Speaker 1: seventeen minutes long, and it is about we made up
Speaker 1: two characters. One is Justin Fierce, which the names are
Speaker 1: supposed to be done and Chad Man. Justin Fierce is
Speaker 1: a great name, Chad Chad Phoenix. I think it was
Speaker 1: a great name. And they competed in a like like
Speaker 1: how big your Vape Cloud was? Type competition And it's
Speaker 1: about Justin Fierce, who is the greatest vapor there ever was.
Speaker 1: Have you seen documentary now I have with Will Arnett? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Fred Armison, Yeah, yeah, that is a good show. The
Speaker 1: one they the one where they do the mob celebration
Speaker 1: in that random country is so good. I've seen it.
Speaker 1: You guys should watch that when you're you know, we
Speaker 1: got a lot of time together. This was great. This
Speaker 1: was um all right. Do we even do a weird
Speaker 1: question the week after that? I have one. It's not
Speaker 1: nearly that weird, but yeah, that was just we just
Speaker 1: went down the road. I this is why I like
Speaker 1: doing this. Like what just happened for the last seven minutes,
Speaker 1: ten minutes, I don't know. I feel bad for people
Speaker 1: who wanted to listen to football and just get got
Speaker 1: some football off the top. And look, if you if
Speaker 1: you've listened to this podcast before, you know we're going there. Alright.

Speaker 1: quarter during a home game, one lucky fan will win
Speaker 1: a smart home smoking carbon monoxide detector through the Morse
Speaker 1: Jenkins Protect and Check sweepsticks. If the Panthers get a
Speaker 1: fourth down stop in the fourth quarter. That same fan
Speaker 1: will also be going home with a fifteen hundred dollar

Speaker 1: know what, I'm changing it. I was going to ask
Speaker 1: you how many layers if you would go football tough
Speaker 1: guy if you were going up to Green Bay this weekend.
