It's time for a Happy half Hour with your friends Kristin Balboni, Miles Simmons and Will Bryan. That's right, it's that time of the week. Happy half Hour podcast presented by Morris Jenkins with your friends Kristen, Will and Miles and christ And Mr Jenkins told me that the Panthers make him proud and he's honored to support the team. When you're plumbing our conditioning is acting up, called Morris
Jenkins or visit Morrish Jenkins dot com. Well, he should be proud because the Panthers are on a two game winning streak. They beat the Cardinals at home. It was fun. It was fun to have a home win in front of approximately fifty two hundred small but very very mighty fans. Well, I know you're used to uh to a full sold out stadium, but what did you think of the energy in there on Sunday? I thought it was pretty good. I thought that the noise I didn't know how they
were going to do that. Like combined with the noise with the fans, it felt loud, It felt full like, and you could tell the people that were there they were there like they came in with a purpose that you know, we know there's only five thousand of us, were going to cheer and we're gonna get into it. And obviously that the team gave them something to cheer about.
They came to go to work, Yeah, they did. I thought it was interesting in it was a third down or some sort of big play on defense, people would start banging the seats in front of them to make a little bit more noise. I thought that was kind of cool. It was just something that I think symbolize how look, there weren't that many people in the stadium, but they still were. They still were going to be heard if you will. Yeah, and I I felt it on you know, that long drive for instance, that ten
play seventy five yard drive. You know, even just hearing them say first jown panthers. Wow, you know that's a good impression. CHRISTI. I've been practicing for a year, but for a long time that was awesome. It might be my head and down. I'm not gonna try mad. If you guys ever need if the p A guy ever needs help, or you ever need help recording some sounds you've never tried. Its no, and I'm not about to Nope, Nope, not playing this game, Nope, I'm not gonna do it.
I've done it, but I should probably hold off because I don't know by my grain, because you didn't really well and I don't want to overshadow it. Oh this is your day, Okay, Okay, that's fine as well as I can. You say that as I'm looking at you from the booth of shame. Well, that's just because I made a concerted effort to not be late today, although both of you were actually here later than the prescribed
five minutes five minutes. I'm sorry the shame I'm paying for it, But guys, I do have a good fans story for you, guys. Um At least I think so. Um, So I am in the row one operational zone and they have the tarps for you know, they have the tarps on the first of what is it, ten fifteen rows on the home side something like that, and then there are fans sitting directly behind it. So I'm, you know, following what I do as a sideline reporter, what most
sideline reporters do is you follow the action. You go. You know, they're driving the ball down the field. You you follow where the ball is. And so right about midfield, um, I'm you know, kind of right behind the bench, and there happened to be two fans right behind me, um up on the first seats that don't have tarps, and I guess they were eating, and I guess someone put their beer um right on the tarp. So all the sutime,
I'm just sitting there. Well, I'm just sitting there and a sudden I feel just like a missile hit my back and then all of a sudden, I'm just drenched. And this guy put he's um, it's definitely a Barry I p A because I smelled like it for the rest of the game. Barry I p A. It just I mean, it was just a missile and the entire thing spilled down my back like the back of my shirt. I was worried about it getting on. It's called an
I f B. It's like my pack that I wear. Um, so I smelled like a bar or the entire game. That was like first quarter and I was just drenched. But I mean it was not, it was It was totally an accident. They were not, you know, overserved or anything that. I think he just honestly set it up there as like a ledge. And of course the tarp is sloping down because that's the way the seats are. And uh yeah, so I got to to welcome fans back in a unique way. A Barry I p A yeah, okay.
I was really confident that that was good. Give you that ten points to Griffin door anyway, yess one, they beat the Cardinals one. You know, how about that guy's how about that? I mean, how about this offense right now, up and down the field, every drive that you know, the long drive, the third down conversions, scoring touchdowns in the red zone, all the things we talked about last
week that they gotta fix. They did. That was the biggest key I think started to cut you off, Christen, No, I was gonna say, not only that we talked about they talked about it. You know throughout the week. It was improving third downs on offense and defense, tackling better, and making the most of red zone opportunities. They did
all of those things. I was it was really incredible in my in my opinion, that they say, all right, here are the four things that we really want to focus on, and then they came in and improved markedly in every single category. Not only that, but to to do it against the team that had been first in
third down defense and second in red zone defense. That that was the thing that I you know, was thinking last week, all right, if you want to improve all these things, that's maybe going to be concerning against this Arizona Cardinals team. But I'll say this to Arizona didn't come in looking ready to play last week. Man. They really didn't. And you know, sometimes that happens when a team goes from west to east. They gotta play in
the early window and things like that. But you know, it's your job as the home team and the opponent to then take advantage of that. And I think that the Panthers executed everything that they need to needed to in order to have a complete team win. I agree, And you know, you also do have to say without their two starting safeties. DeAndre Hopkins had not practiced all week because he was banged up, So there were things that you know, maybe if this were fully healthy team,
it might have looked different. I still think the Panthers would have won them. Yeah, I agree with you. So two and two, four games in. You know, Miles, we talked about breaking down the season into quarters. Always do it. First quarter is over, Let's say out some awards. Let's do it all right, First up, gentlemen, and our first quarter awards. Biggest Surprise, Miles be given that award to Well,
it's not necessarily a person. Look, I'm I'm just gonna say that the biggest Surpress means that the Panthers are two and two, And I don't mean that is to disparage the team in any way. I just thought that coming into this year, it would be really, really hard to win early for this team because of the circumstances.
I mean, you have to think about all the things that we're going against this team, from the fact that you didn't have an off season program and you have a new head coach that that offseason program with the new head coach is so vital. I always felt in order to install systems just to get to know people, and really, we've heard about this in the last two weeks, how people don't know each other that well, and they've really made a concerted effort in order to do that.
So between that and look, the coaches didn't necessarily know what the players could do. You might have some operational issues just from not being in a stadium with the coaches and players and having to go through that operation. Having no preseason games, I think it says a lot about this team that they have still been able to overcome all that to get two wins in the last
two weeks, and they didn't have Christian McCaffrey. That's actually my biggest surprise, so slightly different than yours, is that the first two games that the Panthers have ever played without Christian McCaffrey in his career here does that make sense the way I said that, this is the first time he's ever missed two games in his career, So since the Panthers have had him, he's never missed a game. He misses two games the first time he's on i RM,
and the Panthers win both of those games. That's my biggest surprise, and I think just a ton of credit goes to Mike Davis. Jibona Funds looked great when he's been called up the last two weeks. Um, I just think it's it's really incredible. And of course, on a football team, you know, it's not about one player, but Christian McCaffrey was the first two games, he was one scoring all the touchdowns, you know, and and so to see other guys step up and to see Joe Brady
adjust this offense, I just think it's absolutely incredible. And by the way, it was very cool to see Christian McCaffrey on the sidelines in his bucket hat and his turquoise shirt, right up there with the coaches cheering on those guys. I mean, when Mike David scored his touchdown on Reggie Bond, fund scored to touchdown, He's the first guy over there to route them on. And I just
absolutely love that. So you look around and you know there's so many question marks and so many guys that you just didn't know anything about until they're going to get out in the field. So you know, you could pick any one of number of these players. So I'm gonna go with Phil Snow because you look at back at that Tampa game and obviously Carolina couldn't overcome it in the second half, but Tom Brady was shut down
pretty much in the second half. This past week, he goes for five touchdowns, wins NFC Player of the Week. They announced the sporting the previous two games, the ones that Carolina wins. You see all these improvements of you know, Derek Brown four tackles for a loss in the last two games. You see each our ghostmatos come out and get a strip sack. You see Justin Burr's playing really well, Roswell Douglas playing really well. And this is a team.
You know, Arizona was lighting it up offensively in a lot of ways. You know, like Kyler Murray. Yeah he had a one big run, but I mean he was leading the NFL in rushing arts for a quarterback. I'm not saying they're perfect, They're far from that, but from what they were at the end of last year. That defense,
that was what everyone was worried about. You know, Everyone's like this offense could be really good, but you know, I don't know if this defense, you know, we'll see and I think, you know, he's the first one to say, oh, we got a long way to go. But to get them to two and two, I think that's a huge surprise, is what Phil Snow has been able to do. Love it alright, Next category up in our first quarter awards glue guy. I love a good glue guy reference on
a football team. I think there's a number of different people you could pick from. Will let's start with you. Who are you giving the glue Guy Award? Two through the first quarter? Okay, so you guys just kind of mentioned this a little bit. I'm gonna go way out in a limb on this one. I think the glue
guy most recently is Christian McCaffrey. I mean, as soon as he had that, you know, he when he was went on i R. He started a press conference with this long, you know, really really um meaningful statement about hey, we're not falling apart, We're going to come together. And he set that tone. He's setting the tone by being in here in the facility trying to work hard to get better. He's the one supporting Mike Davis supporting this offense.
I mean, he's the one on that sideline on Sunday that was the biggest cheerleader, first one out in the field. You know, like it's weird to have your glue guy be the best player on your team, but right now, that's what they need him to be. And I think that I think that he's fitting that role and that's
can be hard for a superstar to do that. Well, he's living up to being captain, right I think, you know, we could see what he was able to do personally in order to get that big contract in the off season. One of the best running backs in the NFL, so much more than just a running back, and he was I think up into this year, maybe because he's still so young, he was viewed as like a great example,
like you see Christian McCaffrey working hard. There's no excuse not to work that hard, first guy and last guy out, that kind of thing. And this year it's weird. I talked to him about it. It's kind of weird that he's almost like an elder statesman because this team is so young, and he took on that role of I'm going to be more active I'm gonna, um, you know, encourage, I'm going to be vocal, and then got voted to captain.
And I think he's really lived up to that, which I absolutely love, and not that the way he was doing it was wrong at all before, but he's just added that into into his overall you know, repertoire being a player and being a teammate. And I think it's really cool. I've always heard um that, you know, the loneliest time for a professional autball player is rehabbing, and I think it's so cool to see him dealing with his first significant injury and hopefully last, making it not
about himself being here. Like you said starting off that press conference by saying, look, before I talk anything about this high ankle sprain, I'm gonna talk about this team. We're oh intwo but I really believe in this culture, this atmosphere, and I believe that we can win, no doubt that. Kristen, who's your Google guy, you really could go quite a few ways. Um. I thought about Russell Douglas after the O and two start. He's the one that came in and said we gotta have a meeting.
You know, I think that just shows major confidence. We talked about that two weeks ago, and I think he's been a huge part. I think you could go Teddy Um, but I'm gonna go Trey Boston. I think that he is someone, especially over the last two or three weeks that you see I mean he's standing beside Matt Rule on the field. I mean, I mean the offense was on the field for like thirty seven minutes in the last game, so we had plenty of time to be out there and encourage. But you see him in the
Sweet Carolines. I mean, he's leading stuff. He just has that energy and he's such a veteran and I think it's really showing right now. And I've heard teammates talk about him, Att Rule, talk about him just what he is bringing, those intangibles, and we've always known that that's who he is, and I think he's really stepped up and I think it's showing, you know, in the way that this team is playing for each other, no doubt. Uh.
He's so. My glue guy would be somebody that you actually just mentioned, and it is Russell Douglas because I think those teamings that they had with guys coming up and speaking and telling their stories so that people could get to know one another better. I think it has been a real catalyst in getting this Carolina Panthers team to their last two wins. And I mean these guys have talked about it. The more you know somebody, the better you're going to play for them because you understand
their why. And I think Douglas having been through what he's been through with the Philadelphia Eagles, these playoff runs that they've been on them in the the last few years, he was on the team that won the Super Bowl over the New England Patriot. He knows what it takes to win and that is one of the things that
he identified that was missing here. So I think when somebody can come in off waivers right before the season starts, identify that, do that, and then go out and play as well as he's played, I think that really says a lot about him. Yeah, those are all uh three great choices. So let's go now to top feel good moment, Miles. What you got um? I would say that it's Teddy Bridgewater's eighteen yard touchdown run uh in in this last
game over the Arizona Cardinals. And it's interesting because he's not necessarily thinking of it like this, and at least if he is, he's not saying so publicly, so more power to him on that. But when you think about everything that Teddy Bridgewater has been through, I mean that devastating knee injury that he suffered right before the sixteen season to now becoming a backup and then winning games as a backup for New Orleans last year. Now he is a starting quarterback again in the NFL, and he
as a run like that. I think media wise, we want to say it symbolizes him being all the way back, and he doesn't necessarily think of it that way, but I think we can think of it that way because it's true. Ye, Kristen, I'm gonna go with Mark's Saints getting the first sack of the season out in l A. That was if it wasn't the first defensive series, it was the second. But it was right at the start
of that Chargers game. And you know, the defense up until that point to games in they were owing to the defense had not played the way they wanted to play. They were still putting things together, and that was really the start of and that was the big the big talk, right was no sacks. They weren't able to get pressure in those first two weeks. And I just thought that was an incredible moment because not only did it get kind of you know, they could put that to bed,
they could put the Sacks storyline to bed. It also set the tone for that game, and since that time, that defense has looked a lot more confident, a lot more aggressive. And you know, I also just love that it was Marquis says, I. I just remember we were here in Charlotte and everyone kind of like looks around and stands up or like, oh my gosh, there it is. And then right after that series after series, we saw you know, Brian Burns get back there, we saw Derek
Brown makes some great play. So I think that that was just kind of felt like a turning point right there. And I think it also gave the defense a lot of confidence going forward in that game. So that's my field good moment, will what's yours? So mine also comes from that game, and and that's the touchdown of that game.
Mike Davis. You know, we found out afterwards, you know, he talked about his father dying nearly one year to the day for that game, and just you know, you no one really knew that in that moment, but when you saw him, you know, when he spiked that ball, there's just so much emotion for him and so much emotion for this team of like all the question marks about Chris McCaffrey and Mike's like I got this, guy's
I got this, Like it's okay, Like we're good. And for him, his story, you know, the things that he's learned from his brother James Davis. You know, the way that he continued to persevere through practice squad, from practice squad, from you know, potentially not having a future here in Carolina and and just to persevere through all of that and to really kind of harness that I'm doing this for you, Dad, and like for me, I mean, that was just an incredible moment. Well, you're gonna make me
tear up over here. That was That's very well said. It was an incredible moment um and one of those moments where it's like, you know, it's sports, but it has a higher meaning, and you know that moment was just so special for him. Um alright, next up in our first Quarter Awards ceremony, weird just COVID related things. So just the way I kind of thought about this is like if you told me this time last year, this would be happening, that kind of thing. So, so Miles,
let's start with you. What's your weirdest COVID related thing of the first four weeks covering games on television, away games on tell I I can't stand it, man, And I understand that. I understand why it is. I and I think that it's the safe thing to do, the safe route to do if you can't get there um
efficiently via car and whatnot. But like, man, it's it's a struggle because I've never done it before, you know, and I'm covering this league for six years, in my seventh season doing this, and I've been to pretty much every game for the team that I cover, and I can go to the way press box. You sit there, you have a hot dog at halftime, you put mustard
on it. It's great, and like just so to not from though that standpoint, like that's weird and not being on planes and everything, but like sitting in this press box and watching television so that I can cover the team that I cover is just it blows my mind and I don't like it. I mean, Christen, that's got to be like the same for you. I mean calling a game on radio. Yeah, the the only one I have called on via television, I guess is the best way to put it. Was the Chargers game. Um. We
took a bus van down to Tampa, um miles. You could there are plenty of seats if you wanted to have jumped in, uh in a nice little ten and a half hour drive down and ten and a half hours back. But you know, yeah, yeah I didn't see you there, so uh. But it was It was strange because just as a sideline reporter, I go, okay, you know someone's out of the game, like what's happening and you can't see it. You know, those are just your instincts to try to gather that that information. But I
think it really taught me a lot. It's stretched kind of um where I'm comfortable and trying to find ways other ways to contribute. Um. So I think it was a good learning experience. I would like to keep it at a minimum going forward. Um. But yeah, it's just the way it is. But my weirdest COVID related thing is that first home game coming in here with no fans. It was weird to me And now this is that was my first NFL game to cover ever. So um, but like driving up here, we come to work every day.
You go in the same security, you know, you have the same procedures, you park in the same place, and all of that was the same. But then they were like seven more layers of security. But then there are no fans around. It just was a strange kind of not you know, fully a game, but not fully a normal day of work. And I just kind of thought, Okay, this is maybe the only time that there will be a game with no fans at Bank of America. And I kind of just sat there and said, Okay, well,
I'm really lucky to be here. So that was kind of my weirdest COVID related thing of this season so far. Will it's not getting hit in the back with the Verry, I p a no, because that's a normal that's a normal. Look. We've covered a lot of college football games. It's not that abnormal. Okay, well what's yours? So mine? Yeah, I mean, I think just just working from home, you know, I've never worked from home in my life. I mean, obviously there are a couple of days where we come in
the statem we do different things. But you know, for the large part, I'm working from home, and it's just it's just the weirdest thing. Um And it's it's taken a long time to get used to and even now I'm still not sure I want to get used to it. Um yeah, I mean that's something that all you so all of us are doing in some way, shape or form, you know, around the country, or at least a lot
of people are. Um So just being being at home when the different things that that creates, Um, you know, it's just I mean that's kind of it for me. Are you someone that like gets dressed, like full on dress for work like you normally? Would know? I need to, No, I wouldn't why. I don't know, it's like I'm supposed to. I don't know, Like helps you like get into that or whatever. Alright, Uh, last up, will you had a
great addition to our first quarter awards. As we look at the next quarter the next four games, who are we keeping an eye on who to watch the next four weeks? Will you start? Yeah? I think it's it's the secondary, it's the cornerbacks. Um. Eli Apple came back from Inja Reserve and went, you know, got hurt immediately within six plays on special teams. That was supposed to be some depth there to really kind of carry. You know, you look at these next four games. It's Atlanta twice,
it's New Orleans, it's Chicago. Chicago has got a three on one record. You know, you have Alan Robinson now on that team. Michael Thomas is supposed to be back for New Orleans by the time Carolina plays them in a couple of weeks. You know, Julio Jones is questionable this week as we kind of get injury reports. But you know, Calvin Ridley has been been killing it for them.
You know. So there's a lot of big passing offenses, Drew Brees, Matt Ryan, there's some big time receivers, and it's like, you know, Dante Jackson hasn't I don't think he has he played a full game yet, you know, and so it's like it's Rosale Douglas and it's hopefully Dante for a full game. You know, who's who's gonna be shutting these guys down? You know, um uh gyre for um for Green Bay, you know, shutdown Calvin Ridley.
Five targets, no catches on Monday Night, football. You know who's going to be able to do that because Ridley is gonna get his looks on Sunday. So how is the secondary gonna handle what's now? You know kind of everyone talk about NFC South receivers, Well here we go. Yeah, yeah, for sure. Um I would say over the next four weeks, I gotta watch is Brian Burns because as we look at you know, you're talking about the wide receivers, also
the quarterbacks. These guys are more stationary pocket guys. In terms of Matt Ryan, Nick Foles if he is still out there, who knows what's going to happen in Chicago for next week. But then also Drew Brees, all those guys are pocket passers. So you don't necessarily have to do the same things where you're doing things with Kyler Murray and Justin Herbert too in some respects where you've got to make sure your rush lanes are dictated so that you can't let those guys out of the pocket
and run and things like that. Now, obviously, any quarterback, if they've got a chance, they're gonna take it, but that's not necessarily the primary concern that you have to worry about with those guys. So that being said, Brian Burns, I expect to be able to get home a little bit more and that some of that's gonna be predicated by the cornerback play and how they're able to cover guys and whether or not guys can get rid of
the ball real quick. But if the Panthers get their opponents in these third, medium, third and long situations, they're gonna have a little bit more time in order to rush the passer. And Brian Burns has been real close on a lot of these things. He I think is gonna start getting home a little bit more and so I think he's definitely one to watch over the next four games. Kristen, who you got? Yeah, I'm I'm ready to see some more of those Spider Man sack poses.
He said he's got some anime ones in the mix, so I know he is just dying to get those out there. Um and I would like to see it. Mine is I don't know if this is kind of a cop out because he's not on the field right now, but somebody that we've talked about a lot, Christian McCaffrey. Um, So, he just completed week two of at least the minimum three weeks of I r UM and you know that
high ankle sprain. The diagnosis he said was four to six weeks, but he said he's going to take it as a as a personal challenge to come back before that, you know, to be ahead of schedule in his rehab. But I just have been so excited and so pleasantly surprised by what this offense has been able to do without him, Um that just think about adding him back into the mix as as the Panthers get into this tough part of the schedule, as we get into these
division matchups. So I'm really interested to see how he's progressing over the next few weeks and if he makes it back in this four week stretch, and then what that means for the offense, because now you've got you know, Mike Davis. It's got a lot of confidence down there, and he's shown that that he's a great red zone target.
He can get the ball into the end zone. UM. So I'm I'm excited to see, hopefully within this next four weeks, if he's feeling good and ready to go, Um, how Christian McCaffrey can can add to what Joe Brady and Teddy Bridgewater and Mike Davis have been doing on this offense. All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be back with more. Mr Jenkins told me. Mr Jenkis told me. Mr Jenkis told me to always make it easy for the customer. That's you. A lad person
will always be here to answer the phone. We're here till midnight, seven days a week, so you never have to take off work, and it's the same price as in the daytime. We're the ones you want to call. We're the ones you want to call. We're the ones you want to call. You're gonna love these people. I guarantee gotta. Morris Stinkins dot com. All right, let's talk a little bit about Game five and will as you said, this upcoming stretch of four games the next quarter of
the season. We uh, I say we, I mean we as in Miles and I are going down to Atlanta. I was gonna say we, but I don't want to sound like the team we you know where. I'm like, we we gotta get out there and get tough, like we gotta play hard. Um. But now Miles and I will be going down um to the game, which I am excited about. The Panthers will be playing the Falcons on Sunday. Um and well, as we get into this next stretch, you have a great perspective on division rivalries.
Now I'm a Panthers fan. I have my own kind of ranking of division opponents. Miles. You're coming in from from the West coast, and Will was kind of explaining it a little bit before we started recording. I said, oh my gosh, you know, save it for the air, take us through it. So so give us the version of the division rivalries. Who hates who the more? You know where Panthers fans put their energy. Well, there's a reason I'm not going to Atlanta. I'm not going to
do it. Is not going to Atlanta. No no interest, no desire, not doing it. Not a fan of Atlanta. And I'll say this, I know some people that live here in Charlotte and they feel the same way, like this is this is the game that everyone both like really really wants to win and really kind of it gets your blood boiling. No one, No one enjoys playing Atlanta in Atlanta. This is a slugfest. Even when one team is not great, oh and four another team is
is going on. You know, like, now you throw out the records the game, playing Atlanta at Atlanta that gets the blood boiling the most, versus like playing New Orleans in New Orleans. Oh yeah, this is this is the one. Now, in the past, there was some you know some of the years in years past was you know, this was Cam going home, you know, So there's that whole layer
of it. But I think even before that, I mean back in back in the John Fox days, this was there were so many epic games with Mike Vick there in overtime. I mean, it was just it was nuts. So I mean, I think if you break down the NFC South, the Panthers really hate Atlanta, really hate Atlanta. Now,
Atlanta in New Orleans have their kind of thing. They see themselves as like the premier rivalry of the NFC South, and Atlanta is like, yeah, I mean we don't we don't like Carolina, but like New Orleans is like the team that we're going to hate, and the New Orleans feels the same way. And there they kind of returned, you know, they're like, yeah, New Orleans Atlanta, that's like
the Duke North Carolina of you know, NFL. And it's like, okay, and then we're like, no, no, Carolina Atlanta were we we hate each other and this right, and so who's the wake Forest It's Tampa Bay because they're like, wait a minute, hold on, we watch someone to hate us. We play in the same Division two. It's like, no, we don't hate you. It's Florida. It's Florida. And you know you you go down there and you don't hate Florida. There's nothing. You just kind of like it's it's not hate.
It's a different thing. Florida is a different thing. In in London I had. We had the greatest time. The Tampa people were like, oh, look at us. We're in London. We're like, hello, come on in Bucks fans, it's okay, we're gonna beat you. Disrespect right now so much. I mean they they want to be rivals with us so much. In really nah, it's okay, we're good. But that's scene
in Madmen. I don't think about you at all. I just think it's interesting because I feel like in recent years the Saints that feels like the team to me as a as a fan. Before coming to work for the Panthers, that was a team that I was like, oh, man, This just just grinds my gears. But I do know
that that Atlanta long stay ending rivalry. Trump's all. But even when they're oh and four, oh yeah, I mean, because especially when the Saints are almost like yeah, I mean they're like the team that you know, yeah, that we got to knock them off. You know, they've got Drew Brees and you know, you really you want to beat them because they're good at football. But Atlanta, you just want to beat Atlanta. Okay, Well we'll see if
the Panthers can do that. Sunday one Easter. Uh. This is the Happy Half Hour podcast presented by Morris Jenkins Well Christen. Mr Jenkins told me that he loves football and he looks forward to this show all week. When you're plumbing or air conditioning is acting up, you call Morris Jenkins or visit Morris Jenkins dot com. Well in honor of Atlanta and Will saying that he doesn't want to go. Although Atlanta is a beautiful city, I think it has a lot more to do with the Falcons
are weird. Question of the week is what is the most popular place you'd never want to go? This is a good question, Miles, um My first instinct is to say, Disney World. Have you never been as a child, Yes, a long long time ago into galaxy far far away. But like, I don't know, it's just I don't have kids and I'm not one of those adult Disney persons. Yeah, you know, it's just you don't have the ears. No. I mean maybe it's because I'm single and childless, but like,
I just don't Disney. I can, I can do that. It's just a bunch of like to me, but when I think of Disney, it's just like a bunch of snot nose kids all running around and like waiting in long lines. And I'm not a big amusement part guy. Any is that is that? Like you're not going to six Flags or Bush Gardens either. I'm very afraid of roller coasters, like very very afraid. Yes, yeah, I can't do it. So I guess that it's all it all factors in right. Yeah, I mean that's a big part
of it. You're just not into amusement parts. You're not going to Carowin's. I don't know, I don't even know to that's wild okay, sorry, right down the road. I'm not from here, guys. I've lived here for like three months, and it's been funny those regional things that you're like, I didn't know that you wouldn't know what carolines are. Do you know what Belk is? Miles, Yes, because of the Belk Bowl. Okay, that's fair, No longer, Oh it's not. It's the Duke's Mayo Bowl. Yeah. Oh I actually you
know what? I think that the best best college bull Twitter account though, was the it was awesome. All right, Well what's yours? So I don't know if I'm allowed to say this because now that like I'm no longer single, like, but Paris, Paris is the best city ever when you want to go to Paris, amazing, Thank you you guys. It's the coolest city I'd love to go to. I want to go to the luver you Kidney, No, I I prefer you know, Switzerland or Scotland or not. Love
traveling France is not my thing. Have you ever been? That's what you think? Until you go. I swear it's amazing. It's not like I feel like there's a lot of like Eiffel Tower, canvas, art in bed bath beyond and stuff like. It's not that at all. It's a it's such a cool city. It's a very cool different city. It's not cheesy. What's your beef with Paris bro I mean maybe maybe Christian's right. Maybe it's just it's all
stereotypes and I'm just not giving it a chance. But you know, it's a podcast and we're hot taking, so there's my hot Like you don't have a reason, Like I don't understand what the reason I mean. I mean, we've been doing this for a while. There's a lot of things that that you said, Miles, that I'm not sure I have a reason. Yeah, You're allowed to have your wrong opinion. That's fine, that's fine. Good, good call, Chris.
I will put them all kind of in the same category, like the fun resort beach like Cancoon Cabo, all of those places. I am just someone who I want to go to bed at ten o'clock on vacation, Like I just, you know, I want to have a read a book and uh and maybe you know sip uh Dacre. I don't want to go to And this is again and in the before times, as Miles said, like I don't want to go to senor Frogs. I don't you know,
want to go out all day. I don't really want to go on like an excursion, like a you know whatever, You're all on a boat and then you go out to the place with the trampoline, Like, I just want to relax, and I I think those places are awesome, but I just I'm an old lady at heart, and I you know, you guys like bachelorette parties, bachelor parties are like, oh, we're going here, and I'm like, oh god, you know that's that's like three days of just going
from place to place and I just need to relax. So, man, I think that everyone that just listened between Disney World, Paris and Cancoon, they must they must think we're just awful. We're the biggest curmudgeons of all time. Sank goodness. We put this at the end of the podcast. Hope nobody got this far. Yeah, we're gonna end on a real downer. We hate all of those amazing places. Alright, your local collections are signing off. We're just a just a great way to end the podcast. Um, thank you all so
much for listening. If you're still here after we just bashed all those incredible places, We'll see you next week on the Happy Half. Hour podcast,
