This is dry when Josh Graham drive weekday afternoon.

Sports is what the new league year begins next month. I think the Carolina Panthers are going to trade cam Newton in order to rebuild and bring him more draft capital. That's what I took away from David Taber saying to PSL owners yesterday that in order to do the rebuild the right way. He needs to tear things down a little bit there were cryptic Instagram post from cam as well. It doesn't seem like that relationship is going well right now cam he's made it known publicly. He wants to return to the Panthers at the moment look equally retired, and Carolina decided to part ways with Greg Olson the writings on the wall Carolinas and rebuilding mode so rather than spend more time talking about the hypothetical of cam being traded. How about we go the next step and figure out where cam Newton could be traded to because I think there are three teams that are leaders in the clubhouse right now to bring in Newton. I think they would make a lot of sense for the former MVP. It's a segment were going to call cam Newtown is starting to look like the Carolina Panthers are moving from cam Newton noted moving on.

Josh is the most likely places you will go next. Where should we start this child first day Indianapolis Colts. They are one move away.

I think from being a legitimate Super Bowl contender very well run organization built the offense of line.

Well, didn't really have much time to react to the news of their franchise quarterback apprising the retiring before the start of the year so now that they've had time to evaluate what snacks while seeing the Tennessee Titans in their division go to the AFC championship game. All Siena poorly run organization with Houston sample trading up in graphic grabbing a quarterback a few years ago in DeShawn Watson and winning the division. As a result, I think they're gonna roll the dice a little bit here.

Indianapolis makes so much sense because cam would be well protected.

It seems that foot is recovering the shoulder. It looks good in training camp. We just didn't get to see a lot of it in the first two games.

Also Indianapolis has two second round pick they potentially could send to the Panthers. Carolina would be down for it because it goes to a different conference they want to run into them as often and they get draft capital to rebuild Indianapolis is the first team for cam Newtown.

Secondly, the loss Angeles Chargers Hollywood baby. They need somebody to put on a poster who would it be right now. Austin Eckler hastily to figure out what's going on with Melvin Gordon Antonio Gates recently retiring Philip Rivers. They just parted ways with him close the star player for this organization is a Greensboro's own Keenan Allen cam Newton would be a big enough star don't think so if you're tried to create some bodies in the city of Angels who better to do it in cam Newton baby Tom Brady. While he's not going to Los Angeles I think he's gonna resign with the patriots. Once that Domino falls LA is going to see that cam after Brady is the most polarizing quarterback in the league. He's going to generate interest on and off the field.

Cam probably would be happy with it to a new lifestyle in the city of Angels. The Chargers make a lot of sense here because they need to make a splash. They need to create some buzz in cam Newton is one of the few quarterbacks does that with this personality. With this layer with his style of play Chargers own number 37 pic I think that would be good enough to get cam Newton away from the pampered. Lastly, this one you might think I'm bonkers on you might think I'm crazy, the Miami Dolphins cam Newton is Miami.

The outfits the cigars the flyer yet still pretty laid back. It fits perfectly into the Miami lifestyle. That's where he works out what you did with Antonio Brown during the off-season, like many players, Miami everything that's not as poor as you think. One. Three of their last five games, got a good coach.

Three of those games were won against playoff teams. One point loss in another one of those five. They have two first-round picks another not to trade the number five pick to the Panthers bought. If the draft order follows through the way that Mel Kuyper mocked it earlier in the week to a Tahoe below are going, number three to the Detroit Lions. I don't think the dolphins are going to reach it. Five or Justin Herbert. I think they're going to draft either that great corner they're going to take an offense of lineman and then maybe they might trade the 26 pack or even their second round pick to bring in cam Newton what quarterback after two and borough. Do you think has a higher upside thing.

Cam Newton is only 30 years old right now people.

He's a former MVP winter it would get people excited you got plenty of pics in Miami so they can roll the dice a little bit. I think the Miami Dolphins would be a fit if they want to pull the trigger there. So those of the three teams I think cam Newton could be traded to your thoughts are welcome on twitter at sports of dryad. Where would you expect cam Newton to be traded to. If the Panthers are moving on from him. 336-777-1600 is the phone number UNC Greensboro is running through the so con right now the only team better in that league is East Tennessee State, the head coach of the Spartans West Miller former Tar Heel was welcome to join us in 10 minutes.

There are two teams that many people are rumor.

He being interested in camping in a fit for Tampa. I just don't understand. First off, the Chicago Bears, if during the coaching profession. If that's the life you've chosen, and you had success in so much success that you ended up at the top level of the pocket during the NFL odds are you feel like you can fix people you can coach people develop them to be something people say they Everyone Sam Mitchell to Biscay is done. The sky he's a bossed the bear should move off of him. I think there would be a lot of self reflecting having to happen for Chicago to completely give up once riskiness quickly. There would have to be an admission that they were wrong not only drafting a number tube trading up in order to do so with the 49ers up spiked up draft capital to do so. I don't see that happening, especially if it meant the alternative is somebody who hasn't really played the last two years because of injuries the last half of the year.

He was banged up with the shoulder and 2018 2019 only playing the first two games he was injured in most I don't think they would go for that alternative is to say they want to move all future Biscay completely and admit they were wrong. I don't think they would do that if the end result is cam Newton. The other ones. This what this was ridiculous to me. Tampa Bay you honestly believe cam Newton won an MVP for the Carolina Panthers in 2015 took him to a Super Bowl. One of the more beloved players. Panthers had easily one of the most talent you honestly believe there what is good, to trade him to somebody who's going to be playing the Panthers twice a year. No chance that no chance also. Tampa Bay was a lasting Carolina plate or cam Newton played last season. It might've been his last game as a Carolina Panthers.

Nobody knows cam as well, as Tampa Bay does, why Carolina had an advantage bringing in Gerald McCoy. They saw how great he was. For all those years and they wanted to be a part of it. I feel like we would've seen something already like you can't inquire about cam yet publicly because that would be tampering, but I feel like there would be more smoke there more of an interest Tampa Bay. Knowing what cam is seeing him more than anybody else were just as much as Atlanta and New Orleans. I should say, but they have Anita quarterback mixing a lot of cam and there's not much smoke there right now I'm not hearing a lot. Tampa Bay connected with camp and I don't think the Panthers would have much interest in trading cam and division. So there you have it cam Newtown Colts charters, dolphins, bears don't make much sense Tampa doesn't make much sense to me either. How does UNC Greensboro win against Wofford really good Wofford team probably not as good as they been in past years, but still really good program and dropped two spots in that they go from 58 to 60. Is there still a dream of to bed so con alive the day the head coach of the UNCG Spartans West Miller, who was just profiled by Brian Hamilton national writer for the athletic earlier in the week. The get except for VMI tomorrow. Coach builders go to join the show next on the drive drive okay thank you Josh Fox sports hub triad with talked about this quite a bit with the Southern conference is been a lot of fun this year with Berman being very good East Tennessee State and of course UNC Greensboro the Spartans there to be on the road facing VMI tomorrow. The key debts going up against the Spartans and the head coach of UNCG West Miller was kind enough to join us on the team but on their way to Virginia but man what a great game.

It was the other night at the Coliseum and went over time, the Spartans, they beat Wofford in a very close game ferments could become in the town next Wednesday and coach. One thing we've learned about you with our visits over the years is that you're never really satisfied, but after an OT win against Wofford.

The way you wanted the other night. Do you allow yourself at least a moment to enjoy the presence of coaching getting that right now is 22 and six yeah what you know are in the middle of the crime. So were not going to spend a lot of note celebrating her think about think about will be done at the [your banquet, think of that nature. But one thing we always say when. Enjoy everyone until midnight you know so that was a big win against Wofford and over time with faith lately and took some time in the locker over the enjoy it but when it hits midnight your on the next day trying to figure how to get better care for the next one, the nature of college basketball, dumpster how strictly do you enforce that nowhere like if you even start to think about VMI. Does your wife or somebody check you and say not what splits let you you gotta wait till midnight or even the other way around where you're maybe enjoying it while the one well it is a coach a thank you, always thinking about the next day bright even even those young moments right after the game, but not me with that week but like a lot of people we work hard a lot of effort into it. I think one thing that we have tried to do is figure out how to really sort of work hard to try to record the retort that we go out and get a bite to eat and I can't think so.

We do try to take a little bit but always go to the back your mind built with how long you to your coaching career. Did you stop losing your voice during games that stop losing my voice yeah oh. The first two or three weeks out of the head coach.

I kept losing my voice every couple days and then I heard about him, ginger root and worker help fix it but ginger root in hot water and were there to fix that problem. Usually once a year we start back couple days. You know, bring up the old remedy, but you get get get better every year. Radio guy hot tea and honey that usually does the trick as well. West Miller UNCG had basketball. I read the story that Brian Hamilton did in the athletic on you earlier this week the headline as you build UNCG into a contender.

West Miller waste no time is it true you had to invest in improving the acoustics of the practice gym because you are losing your voice know that that's not really all true weekly.

Realizing our practice so the big box acoustically that apparently the work will set up for sound.

The care you write everything down wall all and so trying to teach with. What about a boy trying to teach you know you all about kids are practicing and you be trying to coach and unless they were like 5 feet away from you directly in front of you that could make out what you are saying or what anybody else and so had nothing to do with voices at all. Try to create an environment we can teach you communicate better." Did stand out to me in the story West where you sent from your early days it UNCG quote I'm sitting there wondering am I about to lose my job and a lot of people probably would be that." What did that low point look like because there are people listening to this right now, seeing how great your team is been the last few years who can't fathom you being a young coach.

There was a point where UNCG might've been thinking otherwise, you know, obviously a college athletic bottom line when one of the way, help with standard whether we ever job driver job we all know that we get the first sample years, I would attribute PG we were losing a lot more clear we were winning get the results we want for I knew people were aware that an we're having trouble good players in our program. Good people in our program.

So much turnover transfers got going pro early. Should that you know so all it was really Lobo but what we tell our kids all coach, you know, sometimes the most adverse situations in the most difficult things you go through you know what helps create some of the greatest thing or what you learn what you find out about yourself each other and I think that you really tough at the time I got out now, more than any other help this, figure out who we are what we value here what our identity is in your years later, we were able to find relative success because of some of the things that we learned years about value that, a lot.

What you think about the NCAA evaluating the one time transfer rule you know I like to think I can understand both right obviously gives student athlete no more autonomy make decisions for what's better for them and their lot all about. Natalie will be out naturally so also think there's a slippery slope. It's not just that simple. I think if we take away any penalty of transferring there's going to be so much transferring going on, you could lose some of the things that make college back you know the connection that players over three of four years that I don't think you will stay places for a long time. Yeah, I also like one of the great things about growing up. That's what ultimately student athletes are college another one will years that you grow up. I grew up a lot, and I like to market our program this, I think sometimes to deal with things not going your way. You know not not the way that you addition figure out how to manage barn make it work at work through it.

I think that the big part of growing up. I think when you take away any penalty. You know I take away some of the thing you learn from when you go to some tough moment of the college player so I think there's 2.I think something to be done. I hope you like it right and something that you keep the fabric will we try to do in college athletics. Also give kids some autonomy and ability to have better well-being. Year to year.

It's UNCG had basketball coach with West Miller with the serum sports on Triad Spartans plan VMI tomorrow or next home game.

It's a huge one.

Next Wednesday night against Furman 7 o'clock tipoff. There I was at Duke NC State the other night, and Kevin Keats was talking about one of the frustrations. He's had with the new net rankings. This is the second year it's been installed and he says that it's created an environment where we look at our case and it's made it pretty clear we gotta be either FSU or Duke in order to have a shot here and the quad one. When has kind of cut things off the way the committee evaluates things that might limit some teams cases year to year for you guys. You beat Wofford the other night and your net actually drops from 58 to 60. Wofford, as we discussed before it's it's a very good program, even though they weren't there on is good this year as they were last year when they were dominant with Mike Young has been that made things more clear for you were more frustrating.

You probably neither.Benny.look, I think I understand you Kevin's argument think. They you know what I think you have to be paying attention like that or somewhere like it were were in a league but hasn't had bid the modern history of college back week. We don't spend a lot of time thinking about you think about trying to win the next game and put herself vision when the regular season which puts you in the best division seating standpoint when the conference tournament which is the only guarantee we have to get into the apartment without certainly we hope it at the end of it. Whatever the ranking the numbers are given the best chance to get in that large, those things don't happen last year we looked up in the last email so maybe we should pay a little more tension but I don't think it in the non-BCS league thinking about that stuff.

Day-to-day and as you said repeated great team at home here couple nights ago we go.even though that we go down that you that's that's why don't they need personal, have no control, and technical thinking about that kind of stuff when I think about what's most important get better let you go. What's the latest update you could bring us in the group tax housing around the group tax with former target thing would need about the Carolina family know that every everybody cares so much and everybody supported it was nothing everybody knows about the years been down there in Chapel Hill all all the former guys care in all of her really supportive of the current players in the in the program so people want to win. That's just the nature of it, but you know everybody supported my brothers on the and and obviously a member of the quote entire coaching staff so I feel for the guys put anything I know about Carol on William is right there, can you come in every day to the gym the same type of purpose and think that the drive to get better and do something here down the stretch. I got a pretty good explain this one to me what kind of nerves since it's out of your control is going through your body when you watch your brother stepped to the free-throw line and in 9191 tie on his way to putting North Carolina in the lead against almost fell off Mike out ejected. I literally fell off Mike out ejected about going up to the dock is really not so proud of them before he's worked incredibly hard, not just on again but on body try to put himself in a position to be able to compete you know would get the game. No pristine to see and be able to do that in the biggest moment you know what yes one of the great been the greatest Robert.

I was really proud of that. I am even other evidence of your really proud of the job the go-getter when tomorrow's VMI still running up and down the court getting shots up every 10 seconds still doing that no different coach now on that guys actually talk VMI so we still play get that in our league but but no you, Dan Earl runs a lot of Princeton offense and a match on probably the opposite of what it was years ago and that there there difficult to play, get difficult place to play. So that's what our minds are on right now go get a win tomorrow and we look forward to what could be a big week next week as well. To the best Western bank grabbed that's West Miller had coach of UNC Greensboro spending a little bit of time with us here on a Friday drive. We got to get to the house to do in 10 minutes, but wilder fury is tomorrow. Aaron has been checked out on the show the last 30 minutes he's been in his laptop is been scribbling on a piece of paper.

One of the best things Aaron does on the show, something we don't merely do enough. He previews and recaps sporting events via slam poetry at something we figured out is a skill of Aaron's and as an assistant producer on the show. It's something that we feel like gives him a bit of a voice and Aaron is also a big time boxing snob.

He's trying to angle every opportunity to get fight game into the show and its wilder fury tomorrow. One of the bigger fights. I can remember in a while so Aaron, do you need to turn down the lights in there in order to have artistic integrity Sierra gear yet you're somebody who even though it's not good for radio and it does nothing for the audience because they can't see if the lights are on or off.

You want to maintain artistic integrity. So Robert just turn on the lights of the control room very important to me. Are you ready to do this. I all right call this age-old Saturday 9A EMG him it's a heavyweight a bronze bottle goes, blow for blow with the gypsy came down to a round of testing.

Both Camille with no signs of worry open to play some funky music while chanting personal insults being flown around make sure somebody is in full time now. This time somebody's 00 Lisa mom put on a show stands alone on the heavyweight dynamite and the bomb was right hand. Sure is one hell of a boxing man, age-old mantle, they say spouse make my boxer first displaying his black and white, who will stand as the victor, or the cane as they threw down Saturday. I was going to win the fight.

I hereby decision. I have a gut feeling its wilder just a gut feeling. Even though the idea of fury getting knocked out. It just seems completely un-plausible. You will think he is knocked out Boyd fury OM Sandy, I didn't.

Fury gets knocked – is completely implausible. I just got different kind of know, but like that guy just looks like he looks like the whole Tyson fury so that you haven't try using the minds of the heart.

The Marshall Josh Graham sports hub triad. I've always been fascinated with CVA discussion, but I find I found in talking about it on the radio. There are a lot of political aspects to it a lot of minutia it's difficult to explain. I don't think this is the best format to get into all the little intricacies, mostly people care about storylines and care about quarterbacks. They care about trades they care about transactions.

Yada yada yada.

But Jonathan Jones or somebody who's covered this very well and does. He's is one of the best.

The NFL has for CBSSports and is kind enough to join a series on Twitter at J Jones nine so JJ let's start with this with the CBA ongoing CVA discussion in this proposal. The owners may want 1/17 regular-season game and the players. It seems has a little bit of leverage if they're going to give on that issue.

Maybe get something else that they want. That's all negotiations work in this. What do you think the most important issue to the players is money. The revenue split. I mean no you look at the proposed CVA bullet point that the NFL players can put out last night about what the proposed deal is the one that the owner had voted to ratify court.

The owners are rushing to do this when one side is very eager to get a deal done.

You especially decide that has maternal efforts when you're talking about. 32 billionaires.

I would always caution again accepting that right away when you say what one thing it really is, in my opinion revenue split the past several years in a cochlear if there is 100% of the revenue pie. The players got somewhere around 47% in this proposal. They have kicked up to 48% and if they allow for 1/17 regular-season game that will then go to 48% all that stuff found fine well and dandy, but if you're a player like the one that's out there laying big game you would be the envy that is right at a 49% revenue split in the players just have as much as 57%. About a decade plus ago and so I think that's where the players should really focus in on because the owners are not going to give on not giving it on the franchise tag not getting in on the link of the working field so players can still and will still insert into the NFL at 22 or so years old and NFL team can hold their right or roughly or so years really in the thick of their prime, if they so wish.

And I think the thing that a little bit with the cowboy conduct. Prescott were… At no point in her career has never been paid fair market value, that you're probably still will not and felt where you understand the order but they're okay working get them to budget as the family As the revenues are going to rise over the years Ashley after 2020 when you have the TV contracts renegotiate a spike in that the players if you add one week of games to get more than 1/2 of a percent on the revenue split. Why do you believe the owners want this pushed through so quickly.

Well I think everyone wants to understand what the deal is for the Annapolis early next week at the scouting combine basically all the deals are going to be gone or are beginning being done for the start of the new league year on March 18, 2020, but not not just that the ratings are really high right now.

Everyone feeling really good about you you have any number of the NFL parody across the league marketing winning the Super Bowl and the ratings are up. After that, 2016 bit we can get into why death and all that stuff but I can tell you for fact that the NFL and the owners and the teams old believe that one of the main reason for it with an election year 2015 here we are four years later the ads on television it's about to happen again folks are breaking for those ratings to go down the right now to get a felt want to get the clock while they have a sterling articling product before we get into the season into the thick of the season and people were tuning in for the Monday night presidential debate in September and October, rather than in a felt football you became a senior NFL reporter for CBS words Jonathan Jones with this by the way you are covering the Carolina Panthers for the Charlotte Observer and you got to know Greg Olson pretty well. Cam Newton as well and you still live in the city of Charlotte when the Panthers parted ways with Greg. They seem to do so amicably.

If the Panthers decide to trade cam, considering how much he says he wants to return to Charlotte. Do you anticipate cam taking it well or will there be a relationship severed their relationship if that were to happen, nothing that it is or isn't there right a lot of smoke and gray around that entire situation, but if it were to happen. I do not think it would be happy-go-lucky. Everyone pleased and thrilled about it.

Moving forward, certainly on campsite and that is not a great thing. I just believe that everything that we have heard him say is that he wants to be with Carolina Panthers hit himself anywhere else. If they do trade and is also said I was standing right there beside him and reported it back in December. You may have to trade me or cut me I'm under contract. I can't go anywhere and so he called them as well he should. But what wouldn't feel great if your camera. Anyone who has done as much for the team, the franchisor city as he had done it. The fact of the matter is this team is not going to get to first round picks for him if they traded one first round pick around the third or fourth round pick back probably wave someone's psyche a little bit like you to get more from you and that's what I am worth out there, and so that there's obviously he believed that he belongs he feels that he is doing what he can do in order to remain with the team get injuries do happen they can't because all he can't be held accountable etc. character happen if I am comparing that hypothetical real hypothetical through a Greg Olson parting of ways.

We have mid 30s, tight into a step in the team does not feel that he is worth the number that he would command out on the open market know I do not find it. I cannot believe it will be as amicable as the gradual situation you hearing. Cam's value is like draft value yeah I made it round pick. I mean, again, I think. I think the ceiling would be 1/3 round pick, just because of the uncertainty around him because that is going to be age 31 and in 2020, and so he had to put the ankle that the red at the back that a couple concussion how to get a hold up. The shoulder is a huge huge deal found that while he says everything you know we haven't met shoulder go eight weeks and season since his last surgery and so all of those things combined. I think that it would be very difficult if you're another team, hoping to place your hope and that's what you would do in a franchise quarterback you will be placing the hopes of your entire franchise on cam Newton it difficult to give up more than that understanding the risks that you would be taken on as well as you would have to pay them because you don't have a contract with for the lesson for you Jonathan Jones on Twitter Reggie Jones 9 m work Watson of his work. CBS sports is a senior writer that one area of the NBA's been better than the NFL is the off-season, typically you have free agency began to have all the stars moving across the plate and even though there are reagent names every year in the NFL that jump teams you never really have the quarterbacks making that much movement you have the Peyton Manning that one off-season, but this time you got Tom Brady Finchley cam Newton to be traded, Philip Rivers, he's out there and many others. I know you spent a lot of time on this has the NFL ever seen a free agency off-season. Like the one were about to see next month. Not a quarterback so that they certainly have not thought of that we can continue going right on the market scenario there's going to be potentially Jamie Swenson Andy Dalton is in all the same situation that cam Newton is that you have struggling quarterbacks out there like an extra 50 so not going to be dealt or trade or anything like that but go to Chicago. There are only so many places that Philip Rivers can really land who wants to give Jamie Swenson a long-term contract. If not, but understand it will throw for 5000 but also through 30 interception so all of these extremely interesting, radius actually where okay with Tom Brady going to make it your room on the clock to what you just deliver to the Peyton Manning free agency torques seven or so years ago. A lot of people Arizona Cardinals were waiting on him. The end of having to Kevin Cobb had to extend Mark Sanchez like this can change the trajectory, not a couple of franchise but thought at one point or another Manning Street. How many teams are going to think realistically that you're in the Tom Brady sweepstakes and how many of them are going to spend their off-season plans to try to land the greatest quarterback of all time. That is going to have a domino effect not only on the 2020 and across the league, but also on a number of teams future for the next three for five years.good news. I have no Tar Heel related questions. JJ thanks for doing this. Keep up the great work that's Jonathan Jones from CDS boards, senior NFL writer. There this off-season is going to be nuts. So, if we take Tom Brady off the board. Obviously, when the greatest quarterback. Potentially ever is on free agency that's good of the most interesting domino to fall for Tom and know if you will.

If we take that off the board. What is the next most interesting thing you want to learn this off-season, like with the player their status. Is it a quarterback or do you go Derek Henry here where you headed when you think about the status of a player who your most interested to learn whether to be playing football I guess is as far as dominoes go beyond what this not really Tom and knows when it's Philip Rivers unconditioned to see where he goes because of everyone else that's listed he is really the only bridge quarterback think everybody else you would think they had a hope of at least there is a Bridgewater court right the top 10 list wordplay stuff that let's save that for Tuesday.

I made Wednesday, Tuesday, or just never maybe I'm insincere were Philip River goes I think that makes the rest of the quarterback carousel. I do think that Philip Rivers is the best alternative cam Newton that the Panthers have I do and I know you might pushoff that the calling post to many pics all that I will Carolina during the rebuild mode and that's when you're rebuilding. You want to have. It's not necessarily pinking when you just try to be bad. That's not what teams do they just try to have shorter term contracts and build on younger players even though Philip Rivers isn't necessarily junkies 38 is durable.

He is a good leader and he's going to be on a short-term contract. One or two years. That's what Carolina values. I think of the quarterback spot.

You want someone is pretty good. We can learn what you have of Matt Ruhl and Joe Brady bought you don't want someone to good. That is, can the demand for five years on a contract players and managers have been firing shots at Rob Manfred all week long. The NFL major league baseball Commissioner but I really believe he's not the one to blame here. I'll tell you who is we began. Sharon Darren next drive everyone crazy. Mission accomplished sports triad. This is a segment as were sharing with Darren.we just like the call having fun on a Friday. We like movies.

We play the Rotten Tomatoes movie game once a week and then will return back to regularly scheduled programming in 15 minutes will get to cam Newton and maybe they soon to be coming divorce between the organization and cam Newton next hour, Wes Miller will be joining us UNC Greensboro head basketball coach for start playing the game. I think we need to address something as Aaron comes into the studio for the movie game once a week, joining me and Darren. He has sanitation wipes that he is wiping on the microphone you can hear it a little bit. Probably not. If you're in your car like Robert, this is it, even registering on the board. I bet Aaron is doing. So it's not really an effective practice at all, but he feels like there's a chance he could get sick by me because my voice is tired. I am struggling with the case of the field.

Fine. Don't sound fine. That's what I'm struggling with their okay take those chances.

Jasper must be a tough life. The feel fine.

Don't sound fine so Aaron raising us to come to the studio to do this is because I don't trust him.

I don't trust them not to cheat. He has to have his sheet of paper out and write his answers before I do same thing for Darren who has a sheet of paper right out in front of him.

What about the you to feel like I might sheet. What about those you've accused me of cheating think the overall point is is Josh is not respecting your care and attention of your immune system here I have a one-year-old home like I need to call it out.

I get it ridiculous to put this we should unionize. Honestly, let's play a game by story time for some kind of moving around our show also back for another week guys how you feeling I just told you I didn't sound good. Yeah that's great that your son. I don't sound right, Rotten Tomatoes, movie, game, game based off movie scores off of that popular website were going off of the audience scores and today's theme is snow day, or snow whatever you want to look at is a little snow or a lot of snow in all of these movies are you guys are where the rules golden will be will be hit.

The audience might not be aware.

That's why I'm explaining it.

I hate hate hate hate playing this game with Josh getting there. I'm getting there. In fact, that after these movies. All the players are within 10 points. We will go to a final golden movie before that there are three movies with my chosen theme, which is snow you guys all have your pencils and paper you're ready to go yet.

I really go in Josh Darren Erin as regular order to start off I got a fun little movie force with some snow. You might've seen a parity of this during Super Bowl commercials is right you know that movie is then on to take a break and you guys can watch it will come back here and wanted it is the shining lot of snow in that movie I thought sure you reference Super Bowl commercial. We were going Groundhog Day yesterday months what I expected, will yes must not know me that well to write your answers down. Assuming you all have seen this movie have you or do any of you have any interest in the second part of this movie that's coming out a minor to be on. I'm not sure and it's all based on like the cold of what shining actually is.

What is it it's Dr. something yet. Dr. sleeper Dr. yeah who is the one, one like big name that's the center of this right after wise.

I don't know. Maybe Benedict Cumberbatch sounds late in the play Olive Oyl. The first sign. Whoever it was probably not the greatest fit E1 McGregor, Ewan McGregor Ewing is a pretty big I just take you on how it really was really strange when it comes to the critics or his critics were audience from audience scores is that something that evolves over time, or is that something that initially what it's review.

That's the people who review it and it can change over time, and I think I think there's ongoing review of its very you or I could go to Rotten Tomatoes and submit it with you.

I think you have to be an approved you have to have some kind of backup to this like to be a critic or something. You can still submit reviews for movies, but it won't go in the audience. All right, I've got my score do you guys have everything written down.

Yeah, all right. I know at first, this movie wasn't critically received well, and there's some pushback by Stephen King and others. Now it seemed to be a classic. I think the audience scores to be really high 97. Seven. Darren what you yet similar logic I have it at 8686 parents not as high as you guys in 184 shining comes in at 85.

Both of you guys worn away man stuff so close you to. I'm not that I was one away. I was 12 second note know we we straddled it Erin I see what you mean. I was confused by your each one away. Yeah, you're both very close but a lot of game on again.

No big deal here is our second move.

Think I'll have about some Jamaicans print does go to. I wish we could watch the movie right now. I know where it is obviously a fan of this cool running down you know it.

I've never seen really never see why this was a classic at North Davidson high school.

If you had a substitute teacher were either going to watch cool running, or you can watch radio Josh will how I'm not proud know I'm not like trying to shame you, that's just that's just genuinely shocked. I have a single running. I think everybody has been movies that might surprise you for sure other people to get started here yet is already far away for him to write something down 78% 78% Darren how you feeling I see pride.

I see power.

I see 7979 Aaron down while Aaron your Stella did go running comes in at 8109 you guys are all very close Aaron to audit score. I'm serious. I have three in first place.

Currently, you got Aaron with two Darren with three in Josh terribly far behind.

You can still initiate a golden movie with 15 yeah it's one of those things where parents have believed the last few weeks and he's never been able to sustain it. He's like the 49ers in the final 10 minutes of the Super Bowl. Kyle Shanahan was see if he can keep the sleeve to do your people. 28 three lead Super Bowl. I must've missed that with the final movie the final movie.

Not a big fan of this. I did watch a lot as a kid. You guys be the judge. We haven't seen it is Cuba Gooding Junior and snow dollars and I leave my house and all its contents gratefully, gratefully, not Google's best movie was Cuba Gooding Junior what I like you say it like that was a Darren to get perturbed with people: Cuba what your favorite Mormons. I brought you to go back to my North Davidson days and say radio.

I usually go Rod Tidwell Jerry McGuire wow yeah man.

He had one when he was on a vacation on a cruise ship with a bunch of European models. I don't know what the movie is called.

My mom had it.

I wasn't allowed to watch it. I watched it when she left because there was nudity. I was a fan.

It's not Pearl Harbor. It's not O.J. Simpson is everybody ready our way.

This movie is awful 37%. This movie was bad computing like what you say 31 per 3730 Darren what you yes similarly this this one a great third movie choice on your part, though, just because it's a little bit more unpredictable. I put 4848 Erin, I have never seen snow though while no idea what happened and what high no I didn't go just because snow dogs sounds at all for movie Junior Simpson never went way low, while while guys there.

There will be no golden movie and Aaron is your champion for the movie game, and 3rd Pl., Josh Graham with 27 one in front of him Darren with 26 Aaron you have achieved an all-time low score of four your score.

The movie was 25. Josh Graham is doesn't want to admit it, pale. I'll always yeah I like that it was use their minute of Zen to contrast Josh. I'm all about ill prepared for the moment, though, and there like a Hollywood actress who says he's unprepared when the microphone not expecting to win.

You never know. Always you cannot prepare a speech for that sort of thing. My mom though the best actor nominees did not other than walking Phoenix.

I think we knew what was about to happen. There Darren good to have you and your is always bro have a good called the night is called you bro sorry about that.

Just have a good call and gymnastics tonight. Thanks and I play basketball tomorrow and 50 state baseball on Sunday and Tuesday and on Tuesday quite a week for you next evidence of an ugly departure soon to happen between cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers keep it here on the drive
