The obvious one of the 0:00:05.680 --> 0:00:08.159 preseason is Joey Sigh hits every kick he attempts in 0:00:08.160 --> 0:00:10.280 the preseason except for the one that gets blocked, including 0:00:10.280 --> 0:00:12.280 a fifty nine yard or here he is the swole 0:00:12.400 --> 0:00:15.440 kicker is now Caroline's kickers. And then we are previewing 0:00:15.480 --> 0:00:18.320 what we are most excited about with this two thousand 0:00:18.400 --> 0:00:22.360 nineteen Carolina Panthers roster. I'm excited for the return of 0:00:22.760 --> 0:00:27.400 North Turner, offensive plays, all of this and so much 0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:31.480 more including Liam Neeson. Yeah that in more.

This one actually counts now 0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:56.280 we're counting the group chats now, before they were just 0:00:56.440 --> 0:00:58.920 you know, sensors and just see if we were gonna 0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:02.920 make the acts group chat. But congratulations, you all made 0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:06.400 the final roster for the group chat this this week one, 0:01:06.480 --> 0:01:08.640 this is when it really counts. And I think we 0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:11.399 actually might get a special guest on this one, someone 0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:14.400 that we talked about, but you never there's still some 0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:17.720 waiver claims do this afternoon, So I hope that I 0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:21.120 make it through that true, It's true. I haven't heard anything. 0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:23.480 But you've had You've had a pretty good preseason though. Yeah, 0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:25.839 you should feel pretty good about it. I think Max 0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:30.039 was a shining star. I had a great Yeah when 0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:34.200 I feel when when asked after the preseason how Max 0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:37.600 was feeling about making this team after last year potentially 0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:41.120 not making the team, he just said, I'm chilling. Is 0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:44.639 that what I said? Now? We're just making up quotes 0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:48.280 now that I thought you were going to say something else, 0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:50.240 But no, that's what did you think he was going 0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:53.040 to say. I thought he was gonna hearken back to 0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:56.960 a Cameron Artist Pain quote Sason last year, I was 0:01:57.080 --> 0:01:59.680 using this year's preseason quote, Yeah, I see where you're 0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:02.480 going now, Yeah, camera is paying. Last year, when it 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:03.960 was up for debate whether or not he was going 0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:05.720 to make the team, he had a really good preseason. 0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:10.120 He was like, look, I'm gonna get paid somewhere, and 0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:13.600 they ended up bringing him back. Um, but that quote 0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:17.560 was just amazing and Cameras Pain is no longer here. 0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:20.000 As we saw, the running back competition was strong this year. 0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:23.600 Reggie Bonifon joined Scarlett on the active roster. No cameraaders paying, 0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:25.519 but great job bringing it back to this, bring it 0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:28.440 back to football. I will say there was this one 0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:32.440 interview that I did with a free agent that signed somewhere. 0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:34.480 I'm not going to say his name or the team, 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:38.640 but I would ask why here, like why he was 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:41.919 like they paid me the most money and we're like, oh, 0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:44.200 you got a point, Like okay, thank you for your 0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:48.560 honesty stirs. Yeah. So always interesting, but we made it. Guys, 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:51.960 Congratulations you made the final roster for the Group Chat. 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:54.600 Week one. This is the one that really counts. I 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:57.520 love when the narrative changes for football, Like we haven't 0:02:57.520 --> 0:03:00.560 been covering meaningful football for months, but all of a sudden, 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:05.720 right now it matters Week one. Are you guys excited? Yeah? 0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:07.960 I mean, and what a what a matchup to kick 0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:11.640 it off, right? I mean, NFC champion rams tons of 0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:14.920 talent on that team opening up at home. You know, 0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:17.880 this time of year in Carolina, it's gonna be one 0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:19.760 of those you just gotta feeling, it's gonna be one 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:23.400 of those beautiful Carolina Sunday's blue sky grass is gonna 0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:26.600 be crisp and green and it's exciting. Everybody's excited Week 0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:28.720 one of the NFL season. Every team thinks they're gonna 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:32.040 be good. Every team there, everyone's writing all these optimistic 0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:34.760 stories about this guy is gonna break out, this defense 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:36.880 is gonna be so much better, They're gonna be so aggressive, 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:38.720 and it creates so many turnovers. I don't know which 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:40.680 defensive coach ever says they're not going to do either 0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:43.000 of those two things, but it still happens every off season, 0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:45.960 and so it's time. It's time to find out who 0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:48.000 I mean, we know not everybody's team. No, no one 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:50.400 is going to have a good team across the board. 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:52.280 So we're gonna find out. We're gonna find out who's 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:53.960 gonna be good and who's now it is. And that 0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:57.040 would be a perfect segue to a segment if we 0:03:57.040 --> 0:04:00.680 were doing that segment next that you jump the gun. Okay, 0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:02.560 So to get us back, I'm just excited to get 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:05.360 us back on track here, Max, But stay tuned because 0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:07.720 we are going to talk about that and things that 0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:11.160 get you so excited the first time, but not quite 0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:13.120 right now. What we're gonna do right now, because some 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:15.960 interesting things happen this preseason we're going to hand out 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:19.159 a trophy. We don't have one here, for those of 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:22.800 you wondering listening, there's not an actual trophy, but we're 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:26.039 figuratively handing one out to our preseason m v P. 0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:29.320 I have some obscure nominees for this, but then we 0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:31.880 will have one winner. Okay, but let's go around. Who 0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:36.000 is your nominee for the preseason m v P. I 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:38.520 never go first, so I'm not going to start now. 0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:41.120 One of you guys, should I should I continue with 0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:42.839 the football team because you guys are gonna go a 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:46.160 little bit. Yeah, in a different direction, because you guys 0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:49.360 are going off the wall, which is more fun, more fun, 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:53.400 lets are better. I think the obvious winner of the preseason. 0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:57.840 The obvious winner of the preseason is Joey Sigh right, 0:04:58.000 --> 0:05:02.120 I mean, incredible story. This is someone Panther fans had 0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:04.719 never heard of a few weeks ago. All of a sudden, 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:08.200 Graham Gonno's leg issue keeps popping up and Panthers really 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:10.840 aren't sure what's gonna happen with that. Meanwhile, Joey sly 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:13.240 hits every kick he attempts in the preseason, except for 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:15.279 the one that gets blocked. Including a fifty nine yard 0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:18.080 or um and here you get here. He is the 0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:20.560 swoll kicker is now Caroline is kicker. This is the 0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:22.720 first time since two thousand twelve of Graham Gono has 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:24.479 not been the kicker on opening day. I mean, it's 0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:26.440 been a long time. Panthers have had some stability there 0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:29.560 for a while. Uh, but what a story for Joey 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:31.680 and I think we're all curious to see, you know, 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:34.360 wants the kicks are for real now how he handles it. 0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:37.200 But I mean, without a doubt, I think Joey Slies 0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:40.960 is the preseason m v P winner of the preseason 0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:43.320 whatever you want to call it. He's been He's been 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:46.279 wearing the same five shirts for like three weeks. Now. 0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:48.920 If you have not read this story on Panthers dot Com, 0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:51.560 you have to go read it. This man has been 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:56.839 doing laundry just to be like dressed every day. Like 0:05:57.160 --> 0:06:00.279 not not because he just likes the same thing like 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:02.360 some of us do when wear it over and over. No, 0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:04.839 he had to watch the same five shirts just to 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:06.560 make it through a week. And it's like go into 0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:08.919 a laundry map. Yeah, I mean I think that in 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:12.640 in that story, it really kind of it shows that 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:16.080 it's not all these draft picks then you think they 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:18.799 get these million dollar bonuses and immediately by these big cars. 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:22.120 I mean, this guy has had opportunities and each time 0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:26.040 it evaporates. And he was, you know, not counting anything 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:27.920 on this one, you know, just taking it day by day, 0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:30.440 never knowing what's coming next, and you know, you don't 0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:32.240 know if you're gonna be back, you know, living with 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:35.160 living with your parents, trying to find a job, coaching 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:37.800 camps or whatever it is. I think initially he thought 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:39.360 it was gonna be like it was at other places, 0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:41.200 where like you're just a leg for a few weeks, 0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:43.159 like okay, we got our kicker. We're gonna take it 0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:44.600 easy on him, like you're gonna come in and kick 0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:47.560 some kicks and then you're gone. Um, of course it 0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:51.240 was different this time for obvious reasons. But yeah, it's 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:54.240 not a glamorous life being a journeyman kicker. I mean 0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:56.800 there's only thirty two. You get a signing bonus. You 0:06:56.880 --> 0:06:59.599 get a signing bonus of five. That's in the story 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:02.479 got Snybou It's a five hundred dollars which he needed 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:05.360 to use to have a hotel and to get back home. 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:08.400 He was not going out, and that's not a nice 0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:11.560 hotel either we're talking about. He was like, I just 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:13.480 you know, for however long, and I was like, whoa, 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:16.640 Like where are you? I don't care what kind of 0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:20.600 deal the team gets at that certain hotel. My goodness, sir. Yeah, 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:22.320 go read it on Painthers dot com. It's a very 0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:26.160 interesting story and he'll probably win this competition. But I 0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:28.600 like the other nominees better. I like the other nominies 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:31.520 to I mean, we're all Joey Sly, We're all rooting 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:34.920 for you. His you know what his nickname is from camp, 0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:36.720 which I thought this is one of I don't know, 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:44.480 is Tweeter Varsity Blues. I just kept going with didn't 0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:49.720 make sense, but I heard and I was like, I 0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:52.320 thought to myself, this guy doesn't tweet, so it's not 0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:57.000 like Tweeter off Twitter, Like oh wait, wait wait, there's 0:07:57.000 --> 0:08:00.640 a certain character on football. All right, that was your one. 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:04.800 I'll go next. Um. I would like to nominate the 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:09.640 snack supplier for the Panthers sidelines. While sidelining this preseason, 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:14.680 I noticed gummy bears, gummy worms, multiple different flavors of 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:18.000 sunflower seeds. And there was one particular player who may 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:21.560 or may not have eaten a steak out of a 0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:24.320 to go box out of the buried in in the 0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:28.840 snack box on the sidelines by hand. By hand. It 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:30.560 was like a tea boat, like there was a bone 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:32.120 for him to hold onto. I don't think it was 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:33.719 like a pork chopper or a steak or what was 0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:35.360 going on. But he would just lean down in the 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:37.600 box and just rip it out. And this is during 0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:40.599 the game. We have so many questions about this. I 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:42.360 don't know if I want to share the identity of 0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:46.360 this player only because people will love this. People, I 0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:49.160 think immediately are going to assume this was a large individual, 0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:50.960 like I am, I have a picture of like an 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:54.120 offensive lineman grabbing a t but is that can you 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:56.560 tell us if it was a like it was it 0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:59.520 was a large individual, but well they're all kind of 0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:04.880 large offensive lineman or are we talking like skill position? 0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:10.200 Like not as quite as tall as producer Matt. No 0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:11.960 one has any idea how tall him that is? Yeah, 0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:15.280 I know, not quite as tall, doesn't have as long 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:17.800 of hair as producers, doesn't have as long as hair. 0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:19.560 Although that's kind of misleading because it's not like he 0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:22.400 has that long of hair. But it's also true we're 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:25.679 creating this mythical creature. He's not as tall, but he 0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:29.920 is tall. Matt Matt our producer. He's tall, Matt. How 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:36.360 tall are you? I am six ft one. Welcome to it. 0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:38.280 What a great way to introduce yourself to Yeah, I'm 0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:43.240 six ones. Of course he's standing up. Yeah, he stands up. 0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:47.400 He likes to look down on us. Thanks. It's like 0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:50.360 we're being watched, all right, back to more question back 0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:53.720 to our award, more questions. What brand gummies are we 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:57.680 talking about? Like what kind? That's the thing. There was 0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:02.200 no placement of product, and there they were inside like 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:05.040 they were hidden. They were hidden in it looked like 0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:08.960 equipment bags, but there was gummies. So it's like sugar 0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:14.760 picked me up on the sideline and they would I 0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:17.000 know that it was a really big hit in Chicago. 0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:20.200 I mean it was the defensive line. The linebackers. People 0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:22.880 were having to put them down then come to interviews 0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:24.880 with right. I thought they were doing them with they 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:26.920 were like still have them in their hands. No, I 0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:29.720 just noticed that they would be laying them down before 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:31.480 they came out. Remember it was a couple of years. 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:34.880 I believe jin that the nutrition gin was setting them up. 0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:37.600 So she's I want to say it was two years ago. 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:38.960 Do you don't know if you remember this, but they 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:41.600 remember a picture we had in the site of Cam 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:43.520 on the sidelined during a preseason game and he had 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:46.960 like trolley gummy worms in his hand, like you could 0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:49.120 see that like that, like that he was literally holding 0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:51.360 a bag of them and trying to pull that out. 0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:54.680 But so, I mean, we know get like Cam has 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:58.200 a huge thing for gummy worms. I'm curious who else 0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:01.920 was really digging into it. Like Curtis, he was enjoying 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:05.760 them pretty much the entire Dee. This is what I 0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:11.400 thought of Flos Lesley whoever ate the steak. I feel 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:13.200 like there was some floss thing that had to happen 0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:14.920 before the end of the game. Can you imagine were 0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:16.520 they trying to like they were trying to be secretive 0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:18.160 about it as they were eating the stage. Yeah, I mean, 0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:21.000 it definitely wasn't something they were doing. I'm fascinated by 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:24.760 this sideline steak. Yeah, we'll get to the bottom of it. Really, 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:26.280 it's just me telling you who it is. But I 0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:28.160 just don't think I can do that quite yet, I 0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:29.920 don't want to out them like that. I'm still building. 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:32.680 I'm still building relationships here. People. You said it was 0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:36.080 in a to go box, it was box restaurant. It 0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:40.880 was like, no, I'm pretty sure like the kitchen staff 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:44.240 here made it. And he was just chowing down on 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:47.679 the sidelines. So did anyone did you see anyone else? Like? Haven't? 0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:49.960 It was just him. He was the only and he 0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:51.600 had his name on the box. And the best part 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:56.200 him and I made eye contact like mid like just 0:11:56.920 --> 0:12:00.960 so I can't like I just would have just looked 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:07.360 at you and like you want to Yeah, I just 0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:09.360 feel like I can't, like we we had a moment, 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:12.440 and I just feel like in that moment we were friends, 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:14.440 and you can't tell on a friend like that. No 0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:17.080 one else has picked it up yet, so I don't know. 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:19.800 We might see it again. This particular person is pretty 0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:25.120 regimented in the diet, but we will. I think preseason 0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:27.959 is kind of there are more Sidelini antics. I mean, 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:31.480 I agree, I don't think that's I don't think if 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:34.440 we don't see it again, will you promise that, like 0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:36.679 and the season's over, at least you'll tell us who 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:39.360 start a list of things we must tell at the 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:41.160 end of the season, and we need we need a 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:43.280 white board of you'll tell us things that Caroline will 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:48.480 out and that's writing it down forget done either. Okay, 0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:50.920 so that's what nominee. Other nominee is there. There's an 0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:56.120 equipment staff intern who runs everywhere everywhere. This man does 0:12:56.160 --> 0:13:00.800 not walk. He runs constantly. I've tried to track down 0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:03.280 his name, but I don't think anyone has actually had 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:06.200 time to meet him because he's just running everywhere. So 0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:08.319 who I've asked. We're not sure of his name, but 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:11.959 we're going to find out because he deserves at least 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:15.640 is carrying things. Yeah, he's always like getting a guy's helmet, 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:17.600 or oh, we need to move this piece of equipment. 0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:19.760 We need to do that. Like just running. Has have 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:23.840 you guys ever seen Taken? You know, the like daddy 0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:28.839 runs everywhere, So he's going everywhere. The daughter, though, I 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:31.120 don't know if you know this, she never walks in 0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:33.120 the movie. You gotta go back and watch this again. 0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:37.560 She's constantly running. Granted she's being chased the whole movie. 0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:40.319 I get it. But from the time she leaves America 0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:43.280 and is taken, and then we don't see her again 0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:46.360 until the end. She runs everywhere she runs from even 0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:48.720 when they're getting off the plane in France. Just watch 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:55.280 It's No, No, No. The whole movie. You don't see 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:58.120 her do anything other than staying there and be excited 0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:00.560 or take off running to her next day. Never see 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:04.680 a walk. I know she jump under the bed, yeah, 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:09.079 which I understand would I would too, But there's just 0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:11.480 a lot of Even at the end when she's like back, 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:14.440 when she goes back to her parents and her mom 0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:17.000 is at the airport, she runs to her mom, you 0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:19.760 don't see her walk anyways. Those are my two novels. 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:23.080 Quite the segue taken that was what do you have Will? 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:25.240 So my mind is a little bit kind of on 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:32.160 the same the same sphere there exactly the preseason m 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:37.680 v p uh Don Toner who is we do know 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:40.560 his name. He's in charge of this equipment intern and 0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:43.200 in charge of all of our equipment. Second year as 0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:46.800 our director of um of all the equipment has been 0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:50.680 with the Panthers. He's no g from the beginning, back 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:55.240 when we were all just little children and the uniforms. 0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:58.080 This year that he was able to acquire for this 0:14:58.120 --> 0:15:02.400 team are fantastic. The there's some viral pictures going around. 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:08.400 It seemed to display quality of stretchiness that are involved 0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:10.520 with these uniforms, and I wanted, I wanted to bring 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:14.840 this up to uh kind of uh doubt that conspiracy 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:18.320 theory that literally that the uniforms aren't that stretchy. Those 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:21.200 are the undershirts under them. But we wanted to make 0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:24.680 sure that our our our listeners out there new. Yes, 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:28.920 but the uniforms are awesome. The players love them. They're 0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:33.000 Donnie have to do some quick work on that because, 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:37.280 first of all, the uniform stories that we've pust on 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:40.360 the website are like our best performing stories, so clearly 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:43.080 there is significant interest in this. There's been a ton 0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:45.000 of interest from the players standpoint for a while because 0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:47.080 Panthers and the Packers were the only teams that didn't 0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:51.840 have these new Nike Untouchable I think they're called uniforms. Uh. 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:54.240 And then once Dave Tepper arrived and he had heard 0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:56.320 from the players that we really want these uniforms, he 0:15:56.360 --> 0:15:57.720 was like, Okay, let's make it happen. It's make it 0:15:57.760 --> 0:16:01.200 happen before season. So Donnie and his crew had to 0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:05.920 work like three speed to get this thing ready. And 0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:07.560 I think they just got the shipment of him in 0:16:07.680 --> 0:16:09.640 right before the Chicago game, so it was it was 0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:13.600 pretty crazy to turn around to get all that they needed. Um, 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:15.560 but hey, this is what the owner wanted, is the 0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:17.760 players wanted, and the fans love him. So it's been 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:19.880 a huge hit all across the board. I'm curiously what 0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:21.760 the blue ones look like exactly too. I was gonna 0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:24.440 ask Max, You're you're the official uniform on the jersey, 0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:27.640 but you're the Jersey beat writer, so I can tell 0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:29.280 you anything. You are the black and the blue one 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:31.840 is gonna look like this too, and they're all the 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:35.160 same template. Yeah, it's just and Donnie even told me 0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:36.840 this too. He hasn't seen it yet, Like he's literally 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:40.320 waiting for the boxes to arrive, like it's taken you know, 0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:43.040 this this thing. So they're waiting on Nike for those 0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:45.680 to come in. And then Andy, Yeah, I'm curious see 0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:47.480 about the pants because he said they only had the 0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:51.320 white pants through preseason. I think they had plans. This 0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:53.720 is gonna be our most listen to podcast. We're talking 0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:59.760 just literally just put Jersey discussion in the headline. Yeah, 0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:02.320 is going to be the most talked about podcast because 0:17:02.560 --> 0:17:04.119 last year we saw them experiment with a lot of 0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:07.639 different combinations of black pants, white pants, blue tops, whatever, 0:17:07.760 --> 0:17:10.720 and I think Donnie's cool with doing that stuff again. 0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:12.320 They just gotta get the pants in so we'll see 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:14.480 see what they're able to break out in time. I 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:17.200 do get a phone call every single week of there's 0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:19.520 a security guard down at training camp. He's famous. If 0:17:19.520 --> 0:17:22.280 you've ever been a training camp, you know slick Daddy. 0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:24.200 It's like Daddy calls me every week to ask about 0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:28.600 the uniforms. He does every week because he wants to 0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:32.080 match when he watches the game unless the Tigers are on. 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:35.280 Because he did call me last week and said that 0:17:35.320 --> 0:17:38.120 he wasn't going to watch our game because Clemson was on. 0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:42.120 I'm on the broadcast. He's calling to tell me I'm 0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:44.600 not gonna watch you. I'm gonna watch the Tigers. That 0:17:44.680 --> 0:17:47.160 hurt a little, but that's okay. So yeah, everyone, there's 0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:50.040 your scoop on uniform before before we leave it, what 0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:53.720 is everyone's favorite unique combination? And you get to chime 0:17:53.720 --> 0:17:58.800 into I'm a big color rush girl blue and blue 0:17:59.000 --> 0:18:02.840 bloom blue bloom blue. What's the nickname for those the blueberries. 0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:05.880 But wasn't there like a nickname nickname for the blue 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:09.280 on blue. I don't know who there was, like the 0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:15.119 Mermaid or something. That's pretty funny, because yeah, I mean 0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:17.040 I just felt like all the pictures from the Dallas game, 0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:20.959 they just look like a lot of aquarium. Yeah, the aquarium. 0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:23.840 I think. I think, like I wish they were the 0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:26.680 blue Moore, the blue pants and the blue tops. The 0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:28.400 blue tops. Yeah, I don't think we get to see 0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:31.879 them enough. You only wear them twice. But I think 0:18:31.920 --> 0:18:34.399 people like seeing those just because they're different. I'd probably 0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:37.080 say blue top, white pants. I like that. Look, that's 0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:40.080 the that's the favorite from Luke. I know in that 0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:43.560 in that video we post, it's obviously what's the second 0:18:43.640 --> 0:18:46.879 blue game? Because last year there was only one regular 0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:48.879 season blue game? We did one in the preseason one 0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:51.800 the regular This year it's Tampa. And let's go back 0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:54.720 and look it might be Matt save pull up that's 0:18:55.119 --> 0:18:58.320 Jersey schedule story and see it might just be that 0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:03.040 one this year. Actually, think there's another Oneld's say, can 0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:04.920 we play some like music? At this point in this 0:19:04.960 --> 0:19:08.240 show is in our mission? Alright, so what about the 0:19:08.280 --> 0:19:11.280 black on black. Yeah. Look, I mean the internet loves 0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:14.200 the black on black. It won it won the best 0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:16.920 uniform of all time a couple of years ago, thanks 0:19:17.000 --> 0:19:19.680 to some handywork from some Panther fans. It's a Week 0:19:19.760 --> 0:19:22.879 two and Week five. Week Five's Jack's Jacksonville Game, the 0:19:23.200 --> 0:19:27.440 Hall of Fame Game, two very good games. Thur's the 0:19:27.520 --> 0:19:29.560 Night Football in Hall of Honor. The black on Black 0:19:29.640 --> 0:19:33.360 doesn't have the greatest success rate right when it comes 0:19:33.400 --> 0:19:35.200 to wins and loss. I think that's what's kind of 0:19:35.920 --> 0:19:38.240 got people's opinions changed about it a little bit. I 0:19:38.480 --> 0:19:42.640 I kind of partly because of what happened in the game. 0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:48.800 I like the white tops, black pants, blue socks. Now 0:19:48.880 --> 0:19:52.440 you're going socks now too, because like the black socks 0:19:52.480 --> 0:19:53.760 are a bit are a bit much, No, But when 0:19:53.800 --> 0:19:56.840 you have the blue socks contrasting with the I mean 0:19:56.920 --> 0:19:59.399 that was that was the Eagles game uniform last year. 0:19:59.440 --> 0:20:02.240 I just love I love the way that looked. What 0:20:02.320 --> 0:20:06.399 about a white out just all white. I'm a big monochromatic, like, 0:20:06.480 --> 0:20:09.520 just give me one thing. So to that point a lot, 0:20:09.800 --> 0:20:12.240 especially when we talk about black jersey, black pants, the 0:20:12.440 --> 0:20:16.800 next question always is black helmet are we ever going 0:20:16.840 --> 0:20:18.800 to see a black helmet? I don't know that we 0:20:18.880 --> 0:20:22.240 ever will. But if that happened, I think panther Nation 0:20:22.280 --> 0:20:25.640 would literally explode. I really they would. I don't think 0:20:25.640 --> 0:20:27.639 they could handle it. It would literally just would be. 0:20:27.680 --> 0:20:29.720 It would be the Be the Matt, the Matt Black. 0:20:30.560 --> 0:20:34.119 It would be cool. Yeah, that'd be cool. We've totally 0:20:34.160 --> 0:20:37.119 gone off the rails. So we're going to award the 0:20:37.160 --> 0:20:41.160 Preseason Um Trophy m v P. Obviously to the uniforms 0:20:41.200 --> 0:20:44.000
