Speaker 1 (00:01):
This week on a Happy half Hour.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Good news for Bryce.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
I mean, he's coming into a situation where the protection
has been coold, you know, and Adam Feelen's back on
the practice field as well. And if Adam is able
to show that he's ready to be activated after a
short week of practice, then you know, that's another benefit
to Bryce as he goes into this deal.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
What's the cow. It's time for the Happy Half Hour,
presented by Southern Star, an official bourbon of the Carolina Panthers.
Here are your hosts, Darren Gant and Cassidy Hill.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Hello, friends, and welcome to the Traffic Safety edition of
the Happy Half Hour. We're gonna spend a lot of
time doing public service announcements about you know, stopping at
red lights and wearing your seat belts and cool stuff
like that, because first and foremost, we are happy that
Andy Dalton and his family are safe and secure. So
(01:03):
it's going to be that kind of happy half hour.
And as always, not that this fits with the public safety,
traffic safety, but when you're safely at home. The Happy
Half Hour is presented by a Southern Star and official
bourbon partner of the Carolina Panthers. Celebrate the spirit of
the Carolinas. When you're safely at home, do not drink
(01:23):
and drive correct. That's at the top of the list.
But yes, thank goodness for seat belts and airbags and
all that kind of cool stuff, because the adorable Dalton
family is safe and sound after a scary crash the
other day, including Winnie the Dog.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
I looked in Vain.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
I put all my best investigative resources trying to find
a picture of Winnie the Dogs, but couldn't really find
a good one.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Andy also told us that it's a mini golden doodle.
If you have a mini golden doodle, I want that
dog to have its on Instagram page. Yeah, I want
daily pictures. I want updates on all that is going
on in the life of Winnie the Many.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
It feels like it feels like they missed an opportunity there.
I think that's part of the contract with dogs like that.
If you have that kind of dog, it has to
have a social media presence.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
So somebody should tell Andy I may do that.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
We'll work on that. But yes, thankfully, Winny the Dog
and all of the other Daltons are safe and sound.
But it has put a dent in the Carolina Panthers plans.
You see what I did there? I did Yeah, soon
too soon? Probably it could have gone so much worse.
It really could have, literally and figuratively. But with that
(02:34):
car accident the other day, again, fortunately Andy's okay, but
he does have a sprained thumb, so grabbing a football
and throwing it is problematic for him right now. And
when that's literally your job description, that kind of makes
it tough to go. So we're back to Bryce shawng
heading out to Denver, and that's been the topic of
all the conversations for the last forty eight hours.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Yeah, anytime there's a quarterback change that's going to dominate
the week, that's going to I was looking up something
earlier about the Broncos. I just wanted something simple, like
I think their record as so I googled Denver Broncos
and all of the news stories at the top of
the page were Denver reporters and outlets talking about the
quarterback change and how they would now be facing Bryce Young.
Not an easy week to step into if you're Bryce Young.
(03:18):
Not an easy week to step into if you're any
quarterback having to play against this Denver defense. Their top
five in passing defense. I want to say in total
defense maybe even.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Yes, that's correct.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Third, third in yards per game allowed, third in points
per game allowed, fifth in passing yards per game allowed,
and second in the league with twenty eight sacks.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Ooh, not a fun Sunday, Bob. What are they in
rushing defense?
Speaker 2 (03:46):
I didn't write that one down.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
You need to have answers for all of my possible questions.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
That's not part I could just make something up. Good
is the answer.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
They're playing well on defense, and so whether it was handy,
whether it was price, that was going to be a
complicated ask anyway for the Carolina Panthers.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Right, the twenty eight sacks really really stands out as well,
because that's something and this is this is not a knock.
This is just looking at a game, looking at the
game as the key to the game. Bryce likes to
kind of move around the pocket some. This might be
one of those weeks where he really does have to
just trust that his offensive line is going to protect
him and hang in there because if you if you
(04:26):
get out, they've got you and so and we've seen,
you know, last year how tough he is willing to
take some of those sacks if it means he gets
the ball off in time. It's gonna have to probably
be one of those cases where if you because if
you give them an inch, they're taking you down, buddy.
So this is an offensive line that is capable of
(04:47):
providing a good, clean pocket and take advantage of it
and let them protect you and do their job.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
And the good news for Bryce, I mean, he's coming
into a situation where the protection has been good, right,
you know. And Taylor Motens back on the field yesterday.
We'll see how he's going the rest of the week. Obviously,
that would be a benefit to a already good offensive
line if you get an old HEADLG. Temo back in there.
Jonathan Brooks is doing more and more in practice. He's
(05:17):
still in his practice window. But Adam Thielen's back on
the practice field as well. And that's you know, as
we know having seen Adam throughout last year when he
and Bryce had such a connection. If Adam is able
to show that he's ready to be activated after a
short week of practice, then you know, that's another benefit
to Bryce as he goes into this deal.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Right, Adam would be huge because he's so helpful to
have on those passes where you do have to get
the ball out quick and you don't really have time
to go through your reads and you just need to
check it down. Adam Feeling's always there where you need
him to be, So that would be huge. As you
mentioned Timo, just if that's if you get Timo back
in there. The only offensive lineman you're missing from the
(05:59):
start of the sea is Austin Corporate and Brady Christensen
is doing a pretty good job and so that's huge.
And then on the other side of the ball to
possibly get you know, Jadavian Clowney, Jose Jewel, both guys
that were on the practice field yesterday, So was dj Wantum.
I would be a little surprised if he plays on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Yeah, his practice for the first time, and that's a
yike almost a year. And that's one of the things
I wanted to bring up. I mean, the quarterback conversation
obviously dominates it. If there is a website about football,
it has had Andy Dalton traffic accident news on it
this week, and so I just think that kind of
takes up all the oxygen. But I want to, you know,
(06:37):
spend a little bit of time talking about the other
side of the ball, because on any other day, Jadavian
Clowney coming back after missing two weeks with a shoulder injury,
and having DJ Wantum on the practice field for the
first time, even though it's probably ambitious to think he's
going to be able to play this week, that would
have been a huge deal. That would have been kind
of stuff we spent all week talking about, and instead
(06:59):
it's kind of an afterthought. But they're getting to that point.
They're getting some dudes back, and that's going to be
a benefit to Gero Everrow and the entire defensive staff.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
And you know, Dj want Them is obviously someone that
you want on the field. You saw what you liked
in him from Minnesota. You knew he could bring something
to this defense opposite Jadevi and Clonne. Colonne talked yesterday
about just the relationship the two of them have been
able to form, even though he hasn't been playing all
that to say, Charles Harris has been playing pretty well,
and so if you get Charles Harris out there and
(07:32):
you have Clowney back on the field just to kind
of stabilize things and draw a little bit more attention,
that leaves Charles Harris open to kind of make an impact,
which he has. Simply having Cloonnie back on the field
will stabilize a lot in that front seven.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Yeah, and still there is a lot that's still up
in the air because we don't know how close some
of these guys are to getting back in uniform on
Sunday and getting back on the field. But you know,
Nick Scott wasn't on a practice fore yesterday, So if
Jordan Fuller's not ready to go this weekend, you know
they're gonna have to turn somewhere. Is that Sam Franklin
to my Richard and what you know, Jamie Robinson somebody
(08:10):
like that. Don't know yet because there's still a lot
of uncertainty about that defense, but it does feel like
it's beginning to stabilize. And just the idea seeing Josie
Jewel out there, and this is nothing against any of
the other guys who were out there with rookie signal
caller Trevin Wallace, but having somebody like Josie next to
him is going to have a calming effect on everything.
(08:32):
And that was one of the things I kept going
back to during the off season, was thinking the run
defense had the potential to be a strength of this place.
When you add a Nateshawn Robinson, a Josie Jewel as
Shaq Thompson to a group that already had a Derek Brown. Again,
there's some complications. Shaq and Derek no longer here. They're
(08:52):
in the training room. Saw those guys yesterday and they're
getting worked on and they're in good spirits. But you know,
getting Josie back will be significant for the education of
Trevin Wallace.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Is exactly what I was about to say too, because
even when Trevin continues to call the plays, you've now
got somebody else out there who has worn that green
dot before and can kind of just help translate for
Trevin if need be, you know, just depending maybe make
a few calls on the fly if need be, and
kind of help facilitate that. That's a huge, huge help
(09:23):
for Trevin Wallace. And also if you have Josie on
the field this week, he's spent the past few years
in Denver, he never played with bo Nicks, but he
knows the rest of this offense pretty well, and so
having just that familiarity could be huge.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Yep, And maybe they can mix things up. Denver has
not been a happy place for the Carolina Panthers. Obviously
there's some Super Bowl fifty PTSD involved that wasn't even
in Denver, but they're owing three out there all the time,
so they're looking to change something else.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
It is a tough place to play.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
It is a tough place to play, and you know,
it's the altitude, it's the crowd things, and also they're
a pretty good team.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Right now.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
I'm flashing back to John Fox who said it's not it's.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Not where you play, it's who you play.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Okay, well these are both tough and who so that
makes it tough.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
But yeah, some of those games, I mean, obviously people
are going to remember the Super Bowl. People are going
to remember the sixteen opener when they blew a lately
Graham gon O miss the field going late when they
had a chance to win, drop the opener out there.
The ninety seven game was about the ninety seven It
was special. Darien Gordon returned two punts for touchdowns in
(10:36):
the first quarter and I think they were like eighty
two and seventy five yards, so that one got away
from him earlier. The four game stands out my memory
because that was the Julius Peppers play where ninety seven
yard interception, not touchdown.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Where did he intercept that ball out for it to
be Let me actually, let me try to guess. I've
not seen this play. Ninety seven yards but not a touchdown.
Did he intercept it in the end zone?
Speaker 3 (11:02):
He did intercept it in the end zone and took
it and took it to Okay, I have failed in
my indoctrination of you because you have not seen one
of the most amazing plays in franchise history.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
We will watch it today, we will.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
We will get to that later on this afternoon. But yeah,
it was actually the cool thing about that game. There
were two cool things I remember about that game, not
just that play. And Julius he did intercept it in
the end zone, took it the length of the field
and basically ran out of gas at altitude. And Dan Morgan,
now the GM and a pretty fit guy in his
(11:37):
day as a middle linebacker. Dan's like, that's how you
knew how special Julius was as an athlete because everyone
else was out of gas, everyone other than him had
dropped off the pace before. And Rod Smith, the old
Broncos wide receiver, kind of got in the way and
forced Julius to adjust and he ended up sort of
tripping over the five yard line. But the play before
(12:01):
that was the one. And that's the thing I remember
about Denver Is Julius was capable of those big eye
popping plays, but this one looked fairly simple. They were,
you know, third and you know, third and goal from
the three. Jake Plummer, who's a pretty mobile guy, is
just gonna.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Boot way related to Jack Pummer, not.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Related to Jack Plumber, who we may or may not
see this week. But Jake was a pretty mobile guy
and all he was trying to do was bootleg quick
to the corner and get there. Pretty easy play to
make for a guy with wheels like Jake Plumber. Julius
got cut on the play, was on the ground, gets up,
runs Plumber down from behind, and gets him out of
(12:39):
bound short of the goal.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
I mean, it was just one of those things where
after the fact, it's like, that's not supposed to happen,
that thing right there. But I also remember that game.
One of my fond memories of Obscure Panthers passed Matt Willig,
who has played Andre the Giant in movies. He's a
gentleman of stature. It's like six ' eight three and
(13:02):
forty pounds or something like that.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Willig was playing right tackle that day and got called
for a.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Penalty and picked up the flag and threw it back
at the official. So, yes, Denver contains multitudes for the
Carolina Panthers.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
I don't think you can do that.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
No, that's against the rules. They frowned on that. That
actually pushed him out of a field goal range late,
and it was an ideal, but yeah, it was just
the kind of you know, but in a week where
in a week where the starting quarterback changes because of
a traffic accident in South Charlotte, it feels appropriate that
we're talking about Matt Willig throwing flags back at officials.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
We're just talking about anything and everything. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Oh and you know, speaking a story time with Uncle Darren.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
You were asking earlier we were talking about quarterback changes,
and I said, well, I mean it's no Brian Saint Pierre.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
Yeah, I have no idea who that is.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
We gotta do.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
I'm gonna have to do football one oh one or
Panthers football one oh one for this offseason where I
just tell her all the strange and unusual stories.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
I would love to do a podcast where I go
back and watch the best Panthers games that I've never
seen live reaction.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Do I get to offer commentary of all the sidebar
stories that goes along with this kind of stuff. I
might sign up for that podcast. Matt write just down
in the notes, We'll work on this later.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
But no.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
In twenty ten, this was not a traffic accident, but
Jimmy class and suffered a concussion the weekend before against Yeah,
when a story starts with Jimmy Claws and you know
it's good. Jimmy Clawson gets a concussion against the Bucks.
They needed help in a hurry. So John Fox, in
the middle of twenty ten's youth movement, when he had
no interest in playing youth, urged them to go out
(14:45):
and get a gentleman named Brian Saint Pierre, who had
not thrown a football in Anger in two years, had
been on the Steelers practice squad, bounced around, was in
Arizona for a little bit. Saint Pierre rolls in here
and ends up starting against the Baltimore Ravens. Bryan Saint
Pierre what year and that would have been ten, twenty ten.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
So a pretty good Ravens defense.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Yeah, ed Reid out of pick six that day. Ray
Lewis was running around doing ray Lewis things. But Saint
Pierre came here thinking he was going to hold a clipboard.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
I mean it was.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Middle of the youth movement and played football in a
couple of years. He was joking at the time about
changing diapers a week ago. This time, I walk out
on the practice field on Wednesday, and Brian Saint Pierre
is not holding a clipboard. He is running with the
ones in practice, and I distinctly recall calling his agent
and saying, Rick, did you know your boy was coming
(15:36):
here to start? And the agent said he's doing what.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Now?
Speaker 3 (15:41):
To his credit, Brian Saint Pierre did play creditably against
that pretty good Ravens defense. He had an eighty eight
yard touchdown pass to David get Us. Yeah, another another
blank stare from Cassidy. David get Us is one of
the all time social media punches for Panthers fans because
(16:01):
he was kind of a tease. He would catch an
eighty eight yard touchdown pass and then you never really
heard much from him for weeks and weeks, and people
would always say.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
How's David get Us looking in practice.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
So yeah, depending on who you ask me, Jonathan Jones
show person, they've gotten a good dose of how's David
get Us looking out there? And that's one of those things.
David was good player, Baylor guy, track guy, longstrider. He
was a four hundred meter runner.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
But boy, well.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Show itself in an eighty eight yard touchdown.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
We have gone way down the rabbit hole.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
We've gone from talking about Andy Dalton's dog to Matt Willig,
Brian Saint Pierre and David get Us.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
And Andre the giants thrown in there.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
What have we become here on the happy half hour?
But yeah, it's it's going to be interesting, and you know,
there's obviously a lot to be done, but I do
think there is some degree of opportunity for Bryce to
get things right because they have been running the ball.
So will I mean, we'll see how any of that goes.
There's no it's you know, too soon to talk about
(17:02):
what it means for the future. Does Andy go back
in the line up when he's healthy any of that
kind of stuff. I'm kind of assuming he does, just
based on things Dave Canalis has said previously and by previously,
I mean Monday and Wednesday and Wednesday, but you know,
we'll see how it goes. It is another twist and
another turn in this in this great saga of Carolina
(17:23):
Panthers football this week.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
So what else? What else we got this week to cover?
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Don't forget that Sunday is National tight Ends Day, so
tight ends should to.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
All who celebrate.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
I bet Jatavian Sanders is going to celebrate by wearing
a big hat.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
That sounds like him. It seems like might possibly get
Tommy back, and so that could be a good little get.
That's a safety blanket for Bryce as well. And uh
that's also a good you know, blitz Beeaters is having
a tight end yep. And so if you've got we
saw Jatavian Sanders kind of start to take steps forward
(17:58):
the past couple of weeks as a pass catcher. I
think having Ian Thomas on the field has been really
good for JT because he doesn't have to worry about
blocking as much. He can kind of focus on what
he was known for coming out of college, which was
being a really good pass catching tight end, something that
he had struggled with a little bit his first few
weeks in the NFL seen him take a step forward
(18:18):
the past couple of weeks. I think he was even
the leading receiver on Sunday. Yeah, six targets, six receptions.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Much as it was.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Yeah, And it was a little on purpose that we
went straight into the news and not recap last week's game,
because there's not a lot.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
To just forget last week's.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Let's just pretend College Park ever happened and our trip
to suburban Maryland. So it, uh, we'll let that one go.
We'll get back with you next week. Oh, jukebox time.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Yeah, yeah, I was walking around humming your song earlier.
I didn't even know if you heard it. Is that
first little Gillian wilchis so high that that little opener,
The whole song was good. I like the storytelling aspect
of it, of course, anytime. It always makes like I
say always, the few times I've listened to it in
the past week, makes me think of a pageant queen.
(19:09):
As was a story about a pageant queen. I don't
know if it was, but you hear miss Ohio and
that's what you think, m hm, Like, is this a
girl chasing a crown? I don't again, I don't know
if that was meant to be the case.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
I kind of picked that one a because she was
just here in town and it was a concert I missed,
and I always enjoy that song. But it's got one
of my favorite lines, I want to do right but
not right now, so story.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
Of my life. Yeah, but know that that little opening
hook gets it. That's a good earworm. That just it's
just your brain in the right way and kind of
gets stuck in there. So yeah, good song. It My
iPod I music app whatever you want to call it,
kind of kept rolling through some more Gillian Welsh songs
after that one was dying and it was enjoyable, especially
(19:55):
this time of year. That was the right vibe.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Yeah, it was the right vibe. I'm actually glad with
it everything going on. You told me to listen to
Leon Bridges River and I've actually heard that song and
was familiar with it and have seen Leon Bridges play
that song next to a river in Charleston. Oh so
that was pretty cool. But yeah, that was kind of
the vibe. That was like the old spiritual almost him
(20:17):
kind of vibe me to the river. It was it
was kind of a song you need on a week
like this, when there's traffic accidents and all kinds of
mayhem and quarterback changes.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
And all this sort of news. But what do you got?
What do you got for me this week?
Speaker 4 (20:33):
I do have a couple of options for you, But
I was gonna say this real quick. I have a
couple of Leon Bridges vinyl albums.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Oh okay, And that.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
Is such a good little like moodsetter, Like if you're
just turned like open the French doors to the porch,
start cooking dinner, put a Leon Bridges on vinyl. That
that sets a mood. I have a couple of options
for you this week, because there's a chance you might
have already heard a couple of these in celebration of
the concert that will be happening here on Saturday night
that we unfortunately, we will I say unfortunately, we will
(21:04):
be in Denver, not unfortunately, but we will be in Denver.
I am sad about missing the concert because it's for
a great cause. What a freaking line up to and
it's gonna be a lot of excitement for the people
here in Charlotte and the people in the Carolinas. So
if you have a chance, then there are still I
don't even know if there are still tickets, but if
there are, try to grab one. Come to Charlotte on
Saturday night see very special concert in celebration of that.
(21:29):
I've got two songs in mind. If you have heard
both of them, we will go to my third option.
My first song is Luke Calm's Where the Wild Things Are.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
That'll actually work for me because I am not I
am familiar with Luke Calms as a general concept rather
than his music in particular.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
Okay, listen to Where the Wild Things Are. Not to
put pressure on you to enjoy it, but I will
say this. The first time I heard that song, my
brother and I were driving cross country to move me
from Green Bay to Charlotte, and he I had listened
to a lot of Lukecolm songs before, but for whatever reason,
had not listened to that one. And my brother turned
(22:09):
it on and all he said was who does this
song make you think of? And he started playing it
and we got through the first verse and into the
first chorus, and I realized that there were tears running
down my face. And I looked at him and he
was like, I know, right. It reminded us so much
of my uncle Terry, who passed away last year from als.
(22:30):
Such a man lived so many lives, very very special man.
And there are just so many little points in that song.
He moved to Wyoming, not Hollywood like the brother does
in the song, but there were. It sounds like a
song that my dad would have sung about his brother,
and so it was just a really special song. Yeah,
it's a good song. It's a good song period. It's
a good storytelling song. Luke sings it beautifully, So yeah,
(22:53):
listen to Where the Wild Things Are?
Speaker 3 (22:54):
But will is this related to the Mari Sindak Children
classic Will there be a Wild rump Us?
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Maybe, depending on how you want to interpret the characters
in the song.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
All right, fair enough, that sounds good.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Continuing the trend of concerts, I'm probably not going to
go to tonight at Oven's on auditorium. Are you familiar
with a band called Men at Work? I am not
the big Yeah, they were big. It's kind of down
that same road, except Australian. They were big in the
eighties and early nineties. So the time because somebody always said,
(23:28):
if you're having a party, you try to try to
track your playlist to the most mentally deranged portion of
a person's lives. That is to say, when they were
in high school. So Men at Work was big in
the in the late eighties and early nineties, and they
had a song.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
It was not one of their hits.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
They've actually got a remarkable number of songs you'll recognize
once you listen to them. Okay, but you want to
talk about it, earworm, go listen to be good, Johnny.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Not the most aesthetically technical.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
Why does that song so familiar?
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Yeah, you probably heard it.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
I mean literally, if you say the title of the
song over and over about a million times, you will
understand the vibe. But yeah, minute work playing at Ovens
Auditorium tonight. That one's going to be a game time decision,
depending on depending on how I feel when I get
out of work.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
I might just wonder wander down there. What is the
Thursday night game podcast?
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Man, it's the Rams and the Vikings Rams in the Viking.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
I might be mildly interested in watching.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
That one got a.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Really high point total, so there's gonna be points, I
think tonight.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
You know what else? My new Thursday Night Guilty Pleasure
is the new Kathy Bates Mattlock reboot it's Kathy Bates,
but I'll probably miss it has no business being as
good as it is.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
The next bid on the Happy half Hour. Guess which
one of these two or older? So I'm talking about
going to a concert, you're talking about watching Matt Locke
at all.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Wait, so I live next to Ovens the minute work
is playing? Or just Colin Hayes No Men at Work?
Speaker 3 (25:02):
It's apparently the entire band or such the I mean,
what band from the eighties is still together in its
original sure in Carnaby old videos of their contrat Colin
Hayes going to be in Charlotte singing men at Work song?
Speaker 2 (25:15):
I like that overkill song.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
Yeah, that's my favorite by them.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
I think, Yeah, they've got a lot, They've got a
lot of bangers.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
We will listen to many of the men at Work
songs while we go to work, men and women at work,
because we're out here doing it for the people. We
will catch you guys next week on the Happy Half Hour.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
Bye.
This week on a Happy half Hour.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Good news for Bryce.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
I mean, he's coming into a situation where the protection
has been coold, you know, and Adam Feelen's back on
the practice field as well. And if Adam is able
to show that he's ready to be activated after a
short week of practice, then you know, that's another benefit
to Bryce as he goes into this deal.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
What's the cow. It's time for the Happy Half Hour,
presented by Southern Star, an official bourbon of the Carolina Panthers.
Here are your hosts, Darren Gant and Cassidy Hill.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Hello, friends, and welcome to the Traffic Safety edition of
the Happy Half Hour. We're gonna spend a lot of
time doing public service announcements about you know, stopping at
red lights and wearing your seat belts and cool stuff
like that, because first and foremost, we are happy that
Andy Dalton and his family are safe and secure. So
(01:03):
it's going to be that kind of happy half hour.
And as always, not that this fits with the public safety,
traffic safety, but when you're safely at home. The Happy
Half Hour is presented by a Southern Star and official
bourbon partner of the Carolina Panthers. Celebrate the spirit of
the Carolinas. When you're safely at home, do not drink
(01:23):
and drive correct. That's at the top of the list.
But yes, thank goodness for seat belts and airbags and
all that kind of cool stuff, because the adorable Dalton
family is safe and sound after a scary crash the
other day, including Winnie the Dog.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
I looked in Vain.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
I put all my best investigative resources trying to find
a picture of Winnie the Dogs, but couldn't really find
a good one.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Andy also told us that it's a mini golden doodle.
If you have a mini golden doodle, I want that
dog to have its on Instagram page. Yeah, I want
daily pictures. I want updates on all that is going
on in the life of Winnie the Many.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
It feels like it feels like they missed an opportunity there.
I think that's part of the contract with dogs like that.
If you have that kind of dog, it has to
have a social media presence.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
So somebody should tell Andy I may do that.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
We'll work on that. But yes, thankfully, Winny the Dog
and all of the other Daltons are safe and sound.
But it has put a dent in the Carolina Panthers plans.
You see what I did there? I did Yeah, soon
too soon? Probably it could have gone so much worse.
It really could have, literally and figuratively. But with that
(02:34):
car accident the other day, again, fortunately Andy's okay, but
he does have a sprained thumb, so grabbing a football
and throwing it is problematic for him right now. And
when that's literally your job description, that kind of makes
it tough to go. So we're back to Bryce shawng
heading out to Denver, and that's been the topic of
all the conversations for the last forty eight hours.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Yeah, anytime there's a quarterback change that's going to dominate
the week, that's going to I was looking up something
earlier about the Broncos. I just wanted something simple, like
I think their record as so I googled Denver Broncos
and all of the news stories at the top of
the page were Denver reporters and outlets talking about the
quarterback change and how they would now be facing Bryce Young.
Not an easy week to step into if you're Bryce Young.
(03:18):
Not an easy week to step into if you're any
quarterback having to play against this Denver defense. Their top
five in passing defense. I want to say in total
defense maybe even.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Yes, that's correct.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Third, third in yards per game allowed, third in points
per game allowed, fifth in passing yards per game allowed,
and second in the league with twenty eight sacks.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Ooh, not a fun Sunday, Bob. What are they in
rushing defense?
Speaker 2 (03:46):
I didn't write that one down.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
You need to have answers for all of my possible questions.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
That's not part I could just make something up. Good
is the answer.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
They're playing well on defense, and so whether it was handy,
whether it was price, that was going to be a
complicated ask anyway for the Carolina Panthers.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Right, the twenty eight sacks really really stands out as well,
because that's something and this is this is not a knock.
This is just looking at a game, looking at the
game as the key to the game. Bryce likes to
kind of move around the pocket some. This might be
one of those weeks where he really does have to
just trust that his offensive line is going to protect
him and hang in there because if you if you
(04:26):
get out, they've got you and so and we've seen,
you know, last year how tough he is willing to
take some of those sacks if it means he gets
the ball off in time. It's gonna have to probably
be one of those cases where if you because if
you give them an inch, they're taking you down, buddy.
So this is an offensive line that is capable of
(04:47):
providing a good, clean pocket and take advantage of it
and let them protect you and do their job.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
And the good news for Bryce, I mean, he's coming
into a situation where the protection has been good, right,
you know. And Taylor Motens back on the field yesterday.
We'll see how he's going the rest of the week. Obviously,
that would be a benefit to a already good offensive
line if you get an old HEADLG. Temo back in there.
Jonathan Brooks is doing more and more in practice. He's
(05:17):
still in his practice window. But Adam Thielen's back on
the practice field as well. And that's you know, as
we know having seen Adam throughout last year when he
and Bryce had such a connection. If Adam is able
to show that he's ready to be activated after a
short week of practice, then you know, that's another benefit
to Bryce as he goes into this deal.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Right, Adam would be huge because he's so helpful to
have on those passes where you do have to get
the ball out quick and you don't really have time
to go through your reads and you just need to
check it down. Adam Feeling's always there where you need
him to be, So that would be huge. As you
mentioned Timo, just if that's if you get Timo back
in there. The only offensive lineman you're missing from the
(05:59):
start of the sea is Austin Corporate and Brady Christensen
is doing a pretty good job and so that's huge.
And then on the other side of the ball to
possibly get you know, Jadavian Clowney, Jose Jewel, both guys
that were on the practice field yesterday, So was dj Wantum.
I would be a little surprised if he plays on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Yeah, his practice for the first time, and that's a
yike almost a year. And that's one of the things
I wanted to bring up. I mean, the quarterback conversation
obviously dominates it. If there is a website about football,
it has had Andy Dalton traffic accident news on it
this week, and so I just think that kind of
takes up all the oxygen. But I want to, you know,
(06:37):
spend a little bit of time talking about the other
side of the ball, because on any other day, Jadavian
Clowney coming back after missing two weeks with a shoulder injury,
and having DJ Wantum on the practice field for the
first time, even though it's probably ambitious to think he's
going to be able to play this week, that would
have been a huge deal. That would have been kind
of stuff we spent all week talking about, and instead
(06:59):
it's kind of an afterthought. But they're getting to that point.
They're getting some dudes back, and that's going to be
a benefit to Gero Everrow and the entire defensive staff.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
And you know, Dj want Them is obviously someone that
you want on the field. You saw what you liked
in him from Minnesota. You knew he could bring something
to this defense opposite Jadevi and Clonne. Colonne talked yesterday
about just the relationship the two of them have been
able to form, even though he hasn't been playing all
that to say, Charles Harris has been playing pretty well,
and so if you get Charles Harris out there and
(07:32):
you have Clowney back on the field just to kind
of stabilize things and draw a little bit more attention,
that leaves Charles Harris open to kind of make an impact,
which he has. Simply having Cloonnie back on the field
will stabilize a lot in that front seven.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Yeah, and still there is a lot that's still up
in the air because we don't know how close some
of these guys are to getting back in uniform on
Sunday and getting back on the field. But you know,
Nick Scott wasn't on a practice fore yesterday, So if
Jordan Fuller's not ready to go this weekend, you know
they're gonna have to turn somewhere. Is that Sam Franklin
to my Richard and what you know, Jamie Robinson somebody
(08:10):
like that. Don't know yet because there's still a lot
of uncertainty about that defense, but it does feel like
it's beginning to stabilize. And just the idea seeing Josie
Jewel out there, and this is nothing against any of
the other guys who were out there with rookie signal
caller Trevin Wallace, but having somebody like Josie next to
him is going to have a calming effect on everything.
(08:32):
And that was one of the things I kept going
back to during the off season, was thinking the run
defense had the potential to be a strength of this place.
When you add a Nateshawn Robinson, a Josie Jewel as
Shaq Thompson to a group that already had a Derek Brown. Again,
there's some complications. Shaq and Derek no longer here. They're
(08:52):
in the training room. Saw those guys yesterday and they're
getting worked on and they're in good spirits. But you know,
getting Josie back will be significant for the education of
Trevin Wallace.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Is exactly what I was about to say too, because
even when Trevin continues to call the plays, you've now
got somebody else out there who has worn that green
dot before and can kind of just help translate for
Trevin if need be, you know, just depending maybe make
a few calls on the fly if need be, and
kind of help facilitate that. That's a huge, huge help
(09:23):
for Trevin Wallace. And also if you have Josie on
the field this week, he's spent the past few years
in Denver, he never played with bo Nicks, but he
knows the rest of this offense pretty well, and so
having just that familiarity could be huge.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Yep, And maybe they can mix things up. Denver has
not been a happy place for the Carolina Panthers. Obviously
there's some Super Bowl fifty PTSD involved that wasn't even
in Denver, but they're owing three out there all the time,
so they're looking to change something else.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
It is a tough place to play.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
It is a tough place to play, and you know,
it's the altitude, it's the crowd things, and also they're
a pretty good team.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Right now.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
I'm flashing back to John Fox who said it's not it's.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Not where you play, it's who you play.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Okay, well these are both tough and who so that
makes it tough.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
But yeah, some of those games, I mean, obviously people
are going to remember the Super Bowl. People are going
to remember the sixteen opener when they blew a lately
Graham gon O miss the field going late when they
had a chance to win, drop the opener out there.
The ninety seven game was about the ninety seven It
was special. Darien Gordon returned two punts for touchdowns in
(10:36):
the first quarter and I think they were like eighty
two and seventy five yards, so that one got away
from him earlier. The four game stands out my memory
because that was the Julius Peppers play where ninety seven
yard interception, not touchdown.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Where did he intercept that ball out for it to
be Let me actually, let me try to guess. I've
not seen this play. Ninety seven yards but not a touchdown.
Did he intercept it in the end zone?
Speaker 3 (11:02):
He did intercept it in the end zone and took
it and took it to Okay, I have failed in
my indoctrination of you because you have not seen one
of the most amazing plays in franchise history.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
We will watch it today, we will.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
We will get to that later on this afternoon. But yeah,
it was actually the cool thing about that game. There
were two cool things I remember about that game, not
just that play. And Julius he did intercept it in
the end zone, took it the length of the field
and basically ran out of gas at altitude. And Dan Morgan,
now the GM and a pretty fit guy in his
(11:37):
day as a middle linebacker. Dan's like, that's how you
knew how special Julius was as an athlete because everyone
else was out of gas, everyone other than him had
dropped off the pace before. And Rod Smith, the old
Broncos wide receiver, kind of got in the way and
forced Julius to adjust and he ended up sort of
tripping over the five yard line. But the play before
(12:01):
that was the one. And that's the thing I remember
about Denver Is Julius was capable of those big eye
popping plays, but this one looked fairly simple. They were,
you know, third and you know, third and goal from
the three. Jake Plummer, who's a pretty mobile guy, is
just gonna.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Boot way related to Jack Pummer, not.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Related to Jack Plumber, who we may or may not
see this week. But Jake was a pretty mobile guy
and all he was trying to do was bootleg quick
to the corner and get there. Pretty easy play to
make for a guy with wheels like Jake Plumber. Julius
got cut on the play, was on the ground, gets up,
runs Plumber down from behind, and gets him out of
(12:39):
bound short of the goal.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
I mean, it was just one of those things where
after the fact, it's like, that's not supposed to happen,
that thing right there. But I also remember that game.
One of my fond memories of Obscure Panthers passed Matt Willig,
who has played Andre the Giant in movies. He's a
gentleman of stature. It's like six ' eight three and
(13:02):
forty pounds or something like that.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Willig was playing right tackle that day and got called
for a.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Penalty and picked up the flag and threw it back
at the official. So, yes, Denver contains multitudes for the
Carolina Panthers.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
I don't think you can do that.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
No, that's against the rules. They frowned on that. That
actually pushed him out of a field goal range late,
and it was an ideal, but yeah, it was just
the kind of you know, but in a week where
in a week where the starting quarterback changes because of
a traffic accident in South Charlotte, it feels appropriate that
we're talking about Matt Willig throwing flags back at officials.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
We're just talking about anything and everything. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Oh and you know, speaking a story time with Uncle Darren.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
You were asking earlier we were talking about quarterback changes,
and I said, well, I mean it's no Brian Saint Pierre.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
Yeah, I have no idea who that is.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
We gotta do.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
I'm gonna have to do football one oh one or
Panthers football one oh one for this offseason where I
just tell her all the strange and unusual stories.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
I would love to do a podcast where I go
back and watch the best Panthers games that I've never
seen live reaction.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Do I get to offer commentary of all the sidebar
stories that goes along with this kind of stuff. I
might sign up for that podcast. Matt write just down
in the notes, We'll work on this later.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
But no.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
In twenty ten, this was not a traffic accident, but
Jimmy class and suffered a concussion the weekend before against Yeah,
when a story starts with Jimmy Claws and you know
it's good. Jimmy Clawson gets a concussion against the Bucks.
They needed help in a hurry. So John Fox, in
the middle of twenty ten's youth movement, when he had
no interest in playing youth, urged them to go out
(14:45):
and get a gentleman named Brian Saint Pierre, who had
not thrown a football in Anger in two years, had
been on the Steelers practice squad, bounced around, was in
Arizona for a little bit. Saint Pierre rolls in here
and ends up starting against the Baltimore Ravens. Bryan Saint
Pierre what year and that would have been ten, twenty ten.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
So a pretty good Ravens defense.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Yeah, ed Reid out of pick six that day. Ray
Lewis was running around doing ray Lewis things. But Saint
Pierre came here thinking he was going to hold a clipboard.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
I mean it was.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Middle of the youth movement and played football in a
couple of years. He was joking at the time about
changing diapers a week ago. This time, I walk out
on the practice field on Wednesday, and Brian Saint Pierre
is not holding a clipboard. He is running with the
ones in practice, and I distinctly recall calling his agent
and saying, Rick, did you know your boy was coming
(15:36):
here to start? And the agent said he's doing what.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Now?
Speaker 3 (15:41):
To his credit, Brian Saint Pierre did play creditably against
that pretty good Ravens defense. He had an eighty eight
yard touchdown pass to David get Us. Yeah, another another
blank stare from Cassidy. David get Us is one of
the all time social media punches for Panthers fans because
(16:01):
he was kind of a tease. He would catch an
eighty eight yard touchdown pass and then you never really
heard much from him for weeks and weeks, and people
would always say.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
How's David get Us looking in practice.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
So yeah, depending on who you ask me, Jonathan Jones
show person, they've gotten a good dose of how's David
get Us looking out there? And that's one of those things.
David was good player, Baylor guy, track guy, longstrider. He
was a four hundred meter runner.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
But boy, well.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Show itself in an eighty eight yard touchdown.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
We have gone way down the rabbit hole.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
We've gone from talking about Andy Dalton's dog to Matt Willig,
Brian Saint Pierre and David get Us.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
And Andre the giants thrown in there.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
What have we become here on the happy half hour?
But yeah, it's it's going to be interesting, and you know,
there's obviously a lot to be done, but I do
think there is some degree of opportunity for Bryce to
get things right because they have been running the ball.
So will I mean, we'll see how any of that goes.
There's no it's you know, too soon to talk about
(17:02):
what it means for the future. Does Andy go back
in the line up when he's healthy any of that
kind of stuff. I'm kind of assuming he does, just
based on things Dave Canalis has said previously and by previously,
I mean Monday and Wednesday and Wednesday, but you know,
we'll see how it goes. It is another twist and
another turn in this in this great saga of Carolina
(17:23):
Panthers football this week.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
So what else? What else we got this week to cover?
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Don't forget that Sunday is National tight Ends Day, so
tight ends should to.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
All who celebrate.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
I bet Jatavian Sanders is going to celebrate by wearing
a big hat.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
That sounds like him. It seems like might possibly get
Tommy back, and so that could be a good little get.
That's a safety blanket for Bryce as well. And uh
that's also a good you know, blitz Beeaters is having
a tight end yep. And so if you've got we
saw Jatavian Sanders kind of start to take steps forward
(17:58):
the past couple of weeks as a pass catcher. I
think having Ian Thomas on the field has been really
good for JT because he doesn't have to worry about
blocking as much. He can kind of focus on what
he was known for coming out of college, which was
being a really good pass catching tight end, something that
he had struggled with a little bit his first few
weeks in the NFL seen him take a step forward
(18:18):
the past couple of weeks. I think he was even
the leading receiver on Sunday. Yeah, six targets, six receptions.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Much as it was.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Yeah, And it was a little on purpose that we
went straight into the news and not recap last week's game,
because there's not a lot.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
To just forget last week's.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Let's just pretend College Park ever happened and our trip
to suburban Maryland. So it, uh, we'll let that one go.
We'll get back with you next week. Oh, jukebox time.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Yeah, yeah, I was walking around humming your song earlier.
I didn't even know if you heard it. Is that
first little Gillian wilchis so high that that little opener,
The whole song was good. I like the storytelling aspect
of it, of course, anytime. It always makes like I
say always, the few times I've listened to it in
the past week, makes me think of a pageant queen.
(19:09):
As was a story about a pageant queen. I don't
know if it was, but you hear miss Ohio and
that's what you think, m hm, Like, is this a
girl chasing a crown? I don't again, I don't know
if that was meant to be the case.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
I kind of picked that one a because she was
just here in town and it was a concert I missed,
and I always enjoy that song. But it's got one
of my favorite lines, I want to do right but
not right now, so story.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
Of my life. Yeah, but know that that little opening
hook gets it. That's a good earworm. That just it's
just your brain in the right way and kind of
gets stuck in there. So yeah, good song. It My
iPod I music app whatever you want to call it,
kind of kept rolling through some more Gillian Welsh songs
after that one was dying and it was enjoyable, especially
(19:55):
this time of year. That was the right vibe.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Yeah, it was the right vibe. I'm actually glad with
it everything going on. You told me to listen to
Leon Bridges River and I've actually heard that song and
was familiar with it and have seen Leon Bridges play
that song next to a river in Charleston. Oh so
that was pretty cool. But yeah, that was kind of
the vibe. That was like the old spiritual almost him
(20:17):
kind of vibe me to the river. It was it
was kind of a song you need on a week
like this, when there's traffic accidents and all kinds of
mayhem and quarterback changes.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
And all this sort of news. But what do you got?
What do you got for me this week?
Speaker 4 (20:33):
I do have a couple of options for you, But
I was gonna say this real quick. I have a
couple of Leon Bridges vinyl albums.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Oh okay, And that.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
Is such a good little like moodsetter, Like if you're
just turned like open the French doors to the porch,
start cooking dinner, put a Leon Bridges on vinyl. That
that sets a mood. I have a couple of options
for you this week, because there's a chance you might
have already heard a couple of these in celebration of
the concert that will be happening here on Saturday night
that we unfortunately, we will I say unfortunately, we will
(21:04):
be in Denver, not unfortunately, but we will be in Denver.
I am sad about missing the concert because it's for
a great cause. What a freaking line up to and
it's gonna be a lot of excitement for the people
here in Charlotte and the people in the Carolinas. So
if you have a chance, then there are still I
don't even know if there are still tickets, but if
there are, try to grab one. Come to Charlotte on
Saturday night see very special concert in celebration of that.
(21:29):
I've got two songs in mind. If you have heard
both of them, we will go to my third option.
My first song is Luke Calm's Where the Wild Things Are.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
That'll actually work for me because I am not I
am familiar with Luke Calms as a general concept rather
than his music in particular.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
Okay, listen to Where the Wild Things Are. Not to
put pressure on you to enjoy it, but I will
say this. The first time I heard that song, my
brother and I were driving cross country to move me
from Green Bay to Charlotte, and he I had listened
to a lot of Lukecolm songs before, but for whatever reason,
had not listened to that one. And my brother turned
(22:09):
it on and all he said was who does this
song make you think of? And he started playing it
and we got through the first verse and into the
first chorus, and I realized that there were tears running
down my face. And I looked at him and he
was like, I know, right. It reminded us so much
of my uncle Terry, who passed away last year from als.
(22:30):
Such a man lived so many lives, very very special man.
And there are just so many little points in that song.
He moved to Wyoming, not Hollywood like the brother does
in the song, but there were. It sounds like a
song that my dad would have sung about his brother,
and so it was just a really special song. Yeah,
it's a good song. It's a good song period. It's
a good storytelling song. Luke sings it beautifully, So yeah,
(22:53):
listen to Where the Wild Things Are?
Speaker 3 (22:54):
But will is this related to the Mari Sindak Children
classic Will there be a Wild rump Us?
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Maybe, depending on how you want to interpret the characters
in the song.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
All right, fair enough, that sounds good.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Continuing the trend of concerts, I'm probably not going to
go to tonight at Oven's on auditorium. Are you familiar
with a band called Men at Work? I am not
the big Yeah, they were big. It's kind of down
that same road, except Australian. They were big in the
eighties and early nineties. So the time because somebody always said,
(23:28):
if you're having a party, you try to try to
track your playlist to the most mentally deranged portion of
a person's lives. That is to say, when they were
in high school. So Men at Work was big in
the in the late eighties and early nineties, and they
had a song.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
It was not one of their hits.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
They've actually got a remarkable number of songs you'll recognize
once you listen to them. Okay, but you want to
talk about it, earworm, go listen to be good, Johnny.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Not the most aesthetically technical.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
Why does that song so familiar?
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Yeah, you probably heard it.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
I mean literally, if you say the title of the
song over and over about a million times, you will
understand the vibe. But yeah, minute work playing at Ovens
Auditorium tonight. That one's going to be a game time decision,
depending on depending on how I feel when I get
out of work.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
I might just wonder wander down there. What is the
Thursday night game podcast?
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Man, it's the Rams and the Vikings Rams in the Viking.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
I might be mildly interested in watching.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
That one got a.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Really high point total, so there's gonna be points, I
think tonight.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
You know what else? My new Thursday Night Guilty Pleasure
is the new Kathy Bates Mattlock reboot it's Kathy Bates,
but I'll probably miss it has no business being as
good as it is.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
The next bid on the Happy half Hour. Guess which
one of these two or older? So I'm talking about
going to a concert, you're talking about watching Matt Locke
at all.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Wait, so I live next to Ovens the minute work
is playing? Or just Colin Hayes No Men at Work?
Speaker 3 (25:02):
It's apparently the entire band or such the I mean,
what band from the eighties is still together in its
original sure in Carnaby old videos of their contrat Colin
Hayes going to be in Charlotte singing men at Work song?
Speaker 2 (25:15):
I like that overkill song.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
Yeah, that's my favorite by them.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
I think, Yeah, they've got a lot, They've got a
lot of bangers.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
We will listen to many of the men at Work
songs while we go to work, men and women at work,
because we're out here doing it for the people. We
will catch you guys next week on the Happy Half Hour.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
Bye.
