The Drive with Josh Graham - Live at Kickback Jack's

I met Gordon Road location agreement will to big North Carolina for the headline from the day it starts with the Carolina Panthers Joe person first reported this a few months ago from the athletic shake the loan and shorting gross will be a part of the Carolina Panthers radio network broadcasting.

It seems to be 14 of the 16 regular-season games. The loan will do all eight regular-season home games then go on the road for a game in Atlanta in the game at New Orleans make it in Houston and in New Orleans.

Then Jordan gross will do for road games. In addition to back but we still don't know who's good to be doing the game in London didn't specialize specify that and also we still don't know who's going to do the last road game of the year the Panthers playing December 22 in Indianapolis. The loan in my mind is one of the most beloved Carolina Panthers ever. I think Steve Smith probably is at the very top of the list, but after that I think Jake is number two look equally flying up the rankings a little bit. Cam Newton is so polarizing. I doubt he's in the top five.

Thomas Davis was so beloved in a great ambassador wonderful in the community. So I put him after Luke and then Julius peppers is five and even though peppers probably is the most talented player to ever wear Panthers uniform. There are still some who remember him choosing to leave Carolina to become a Chicago bear before returning for his final two seasons of his career, Jake the loan I think is one of the most popular Panthers ever.

That being said, part of me still get a miss Eugene Robinson on the radio this love Eugene Robinson used to have a really good impression. It's it's usually just him saying the last name of somebody and then having the suffix minister in front of something of that sort.

Yeah, I mean he was with the Panthers radio network for 17 years and renew his contract. Miss Eugene. You seem like he just brought a bit of color to the color commentary you miss them just reacting to big hits like I was, like the signature thing for you Gina, but goodness like that. Did you really say he added color to color commentary is little race thing America color and color commentary bring race into it. He brought he probably is not to be something we can't say 10 years from now, the same way there already people saying you can't say teams. Team owners are owners anymore, even though they own the team's that could be the next thing but not color commentators anymore just game analyst. I hope somebody's going to get mad because woke hope.hope hope we get to a point of breaking point.

The next couple years. We realize we may have gone too far with political correctness and not a single backwards, but we just more cognitive cognizant of what were saying and this I hope that we have a way to go back labeled they will still be around.

The Panthers facility. The he's doing Panthers talk once a week on television with Jim's Okie and Mick Mixon so we still to be around the building.

He's just not he just wasn't renewed as the color commentator on the radio broadcast, but I'm fascinated to see how this all works out.

I know it's probably good to be hard for Mick Mixon working with multiple analysts and a different one on given weeks. So much of that job is chemistry and it takes years to develop that someone you have to and sometimes you be mismatching. Every other week that could just be very tough.

That's one North Carolina sports headline from today continue talking Carolina Panthers would printed marks when he joins us in 10 minutes from Charlotte's from excuse me Spartanburg South Carolina. He might be back in Charlotte by now. Now the practice has ended. The final practice of training. It might be the final training camp practice for the Carolina Panthers in Wofford. It's the final year the contractually obligated to be at Wofford College for training camp. The other big North Carolina sports media headline. It's finally happened with the ACC network with eight there eight days despair, the biggest television operation in the state provider cable provider charter spectrum has come to an agreement with the ACC network.

It's something that we've all had circle we knew was going to get done eventually but they've come to an agreement which adds charter spectrum to the list of DirecTV Hulu live, PlayStation view YouTube TV. All of them having agreements with the network. It's massive as they get set. The launch a week for on the network. That's the defending champion facing Georgia Tech hard not to. So too was last night. The Oakland Raiders center stage. I expected a lot of Antonio Brown and quite frankly I didn't get enough of it. Not enough of a B we had some gross looks at his foot, which essentially is been frosted off or burned off because of the cryogenic chamber. He was into the cryotherapy session that he had.

I didn't really like the episode and I don't really like the direction it's going in because it's very obvious. John Gruden is involved in the final cut. There's just so much Gruden so much of it the highlight I love John Gruden but I wanted a lot of Antonio Brown last night nobody was following AB when he left the facility. We just got gross looks of his feet and a tease at the end think he was good to be back in action after his grievance was denied by the league on Monday. The highlight of the episode was this Gruden is yelling get backup quarterback and former NC State Wolfpack quarterback Mike Glennon and he mispronounced his name.

He said come on Glenn on I thought I got a dual purpose you heard this Lindon said yeah direct quote. Come on Glenn on when I heard it when I want to show off my two and I thought he did intensely on purpose. You never had a coach that like to get your attention. Maybe they know your name, but they said their weekly notes in a drug you thought he was trying to rhyme what, no not Reimann. I think he was instrumental in his head, but oh got close to me. No last name if it had that was a bad moment for Gruden messing up Glennon mispronouncing it. Glenn on Derek car clearly has no idea who want Hunter Renfro so they are warming up before scrimmage and throwing ball back and forth, and if you don't know who Hunter Renfro is you're not gonna look at that guidance at all. This is a great football. He just doesn't look the part.

He's the player that could show up at parties at Clemson and say that he is a football player and nobody's going to believe on even though he had a game-winning cat in the final second of a college football playoff national title game against Alabama that got Derek car clearly didn't know who he was because he asked Renfro if he was nervous and went on to talk about the fact that he had played in much bigger games than a training camp scrimmage, I was just waiting for Renfro to snap back.

I called a game-winning touchdown against Bama and a national title game.

It wasn't a great Renfro look Renfro. He was the one called on by car to the front of the room to sing the song as rookies have to do. He chooses lean on me and you got to do better. Renfro have to do better than that – he just did it did it bring it was disappointing, but then the next guy Max Crosby that Lyman crazy mother believer that broke his hand in the game and immediately was asking to get back in. He sings T-Pain buy you a drink and all is well.

So I can respect that a little you could click the show at sports on trial 33 677-1600 is the phone number. The drive is brought you apart by her friends at pie guys pizza and more dry pizza that's named after the show. The grand slam pizza and you can only find it in Clemens at pie guys pizza and more right off of Louisville Clemens Road inside the Kinnaman Village Commons terrific sponsor of this program once today.

The final training camp practice at Wofford for the Carolina Panthers beat writer Brenda Marx is in Spartanburg and will answer that question for us next Wednesday. Dry broadcasting live in Jackson Greensboro printed marks locate him in a second from the Charlotte Observer can be writer talking about the fact that Jake the loan is one of the most beloved panthers of all time. He is going to be officially broadcasting 10 games of the regular season this year on the panthers radio network, replacing Eugene Robinson gross has four others and then we don't know.

It's good habit for the London game and a road game at Indianapolis for the press release but I'm sure that'll get hashed out as time goes on sinning Clemens very quickly once it on the panthers radio team. Tim what you got myself that was rendered firing in my opinion you will make make seven not very well prepared every we use.

I would like to move over if they can still resist illness and thought that was unwarranted firing because he you know lamenting the fact they didn't give him the championship ring in the Observer. I don't really get that mix and I'm just not a big fan very ill-prepared. Mrs. plays resist you as a true professional and can appreciate the phone call, you do bring up the bill Rosinski rumor that was first reported by the Charlotte Observer. All those years ago about the championship ring and there being some problems underneath, but I will dispute one thing Flatley is a friend of Mick Mixon's guide is more prepared than anybody else and if you talk about his style. Some love it. Some don't. Guys been doing Carolina games or did Carolina Tar Heel games, football and basketball for 15 years before he went to become a Carolina Panthers radio broadcaster Jim so he's been there since the beginning. You can like his style or dislike it. The man is very prepared.

I know that first and foremost, but to each their own. When it comes to the broadcasting industry. Let's go to Brenda Marx. Now Brendan, it's good to have you here, are you in Charlotte or still in Spartanburg. I am actually in neither. Right now John left Spartanburg earlier today my government birthday in Durham.

I am going to see her for the evening. They'll be back in Charlotte on Friday for the reunion get the bill right down the road from us here in Greensboro. Brenda Marx is on Twitter at Brendan are marks Carolina Panthers beat reporter so how big of a crowd. Was it today.

From what you were hearing what you saw because it was the final day of the panthers contractually agreed appearance in Wofford College. They been there since the beginning since they arrived in the Carolinas and as an expansion team.

Today was the last day of camp. How big was the crown. It was a lot five more crowd.

Definitely not the big barn.

You can blame pretty dang hot out there. I think the really the more impressive thing in terms of crowding and you can ask Marcel about that than a little bit when you get him on the line God build Mafia travel.

I mean that is not a joke. There were so many build heckling the tanker defense yesterday.

I want to thank Dr. Jackson were joking around.

So the bill fan, I might be more built for Dr. Robert okay tell me this the what's the craziest thing you saw Bill Spann do the bills Mafia is known to jump off things in set things on fire and the rumor is, they like the sauce. What did you see there was one guy unfortunately who I was standing right front of and everything that SpongeBob me yelling over and over again.

This guy with the human version of that. I mean, I think yelling for two hours straight. It would painful to stand in front of me you love your team that might go.

But man my lobe interest are Spartanburg residents feeling from ones that you dealt with ones that you talk to down there feeling like this might be the last training camp. The panthers been there yet I think there's still somewhat offensive uncertainty you know when we talked to David Pepper earlier in camp. I think it was during the first week today for a run together but one I think the Unite and come out and Flatley say no never going back to what you basically left it open to the possibility that pandas will either be back at Wofford or the Camp in Charlotte until their fidelity and Raquel Barbara.

I'm looking at the picture it doesn't make sense them to have dealt the bubble in Charlotte for them to consistently be touting the facilities in Charlotte. If they're not use them.

I would be shocked if you got something of a tour where maybe there's a couple of days in Charlotte Barber day to someone else you know I think I could be really cool thing and obviously You want to get across the Carolinas. I definitely don't think you have any full-time tampered training camp at Wofford the next two years, or maybe never again.

Aside from Camdenton shoulder Curtis Samuels easily been the story of camp is Curtis Tams number one wide receiver right now you somebody asked Ron Rivera about it after practice. The thing about the Pentagon, but there really isn't a number one receiver. By design I mean you have a lot of different weapons. You have Curtis Daniel, like you mentioned that you got DJ more you got Greg Olson you got Ian Thomas Chris McCaffrey curious right Chris Hogan. I really hard on telling of guys out there they can have it at his disposal. Acutely designed that way to keep the defense off balance. So you can't necessarily key in on you know you Jones or Michael comment-guy going to get 15 or target everything again.

Curtis is definitely been the most favorable player in TRAINING camp and you guys been electric every single day.

You make the plate it takes your breath away. I talked to Candace and look to him early and often. "He's a little bit quieter and even more little more to be a game by game basis and taking of the defense gives him. What's the craziest athletic seat you seen him accomplish, practice or training camp the last few weeks, man. I mean, that's a hard worker thing is Curtis in writing what you had in him in person when he's running actually look like he's running a minute. Looks like he's accelerating.

It's almost the airport you got the moving stairway and you can be walking a normal pace that look your knee may have been that very first wanted training camp. The very first practice of candy.

He goes on the line gets right behind James Bradberry cuts down on the Napa Valley bit when he did the exact camping advancement in the geyser carbon copy to Clay everything will back blessing for you Brendan before we let you Dr. you know trying to boyfriend things in Durham. How much might we see Camdenton on Friday. Yet we I asked Ron Rivera about that again think that you know is the plan. Artie Of the starters and whatnot.

Obviously none of the team started other than trade. Often played in the first preseason game against Chicago. Ron said no we don't technically have a plan that squared away number the player said that they expect the starters to get them burn and Ron dictating the anticipated everyone including Ken Newton and look equally getting a chance to get on the field so I know the team would like to get a couple reps and for those guys. Obviously they had to join practice Buffalo gained little bit different. I would be surprised if camp does not play again the plague bears and nobody end up playing so take that for what it's worth, I guess. Follow Brendan on twitter@brendanaremarkscharlotteobserver.com in the pages of the observer. It's good to hear your voice. Brendan will be chatting sometime sir sometime soon.

I'm sure yes I hope so. And now I need to go out to make sure I make a dinner reservation smart guy that's Brendan marks from the observer. There's also something afoot that I think needs addressing.

I need to get out in front of something before it becomes a massive deal.

There is a photo that surfaced on social media.

Aaron Gabriel has done me no favors and blowing this up on social as well and I believe it's already on the sports pages well here as it's it's a photo of me when I was Once upon a time and in turn errant six or seven years ago and it doesn't look great.

How would you best characterize this.

I like to spend it by saying the raised will exhaust you know you time to do some favors the trying to describe exactly what it looks like I I look like a beagle. If no women were interested in talking to this particular one like if Ringo seemed to be the one that subleased attractive among Paul George, John and Ringo, if I was the fifth Beatle no one would pay me any mind on God to hear hear you got like playing like a Ringo Starr kind of thing going on that was in the 60s. This would be bad. Legal's are 2013. Personally, WXII sports reporter has dropped by three has it on his phone. He smiling ear to ear. Nobody thinks that this is good for your body by way glad to be here in this picture just made it all worth twitter and sports him try and see what I did this all intentionally. This photo gets out there.

Posted by played a role in posting it so I can get people to get our social media pages. That's how it works right smart. That's exactly what what happens here. I defy you do not want to go to our Twitter page at sports him dryad and check out this photo that's embarrassing of me coming off the power thing yes yes I can find a person begins as a turn my shame into content and also turn this into potential prize opportunities here were a kickback. Jack, how about we put this photo up and does find a way to dress this up on Twitter and Facebook to completely steer into this, whoever can come up with the best caption will get a $20 gift card to kickback jacks that tank I think we could pull this off $20 gift voucher to backcheck this photo put it on our Twitter and Facebook. Whoever is best caption for it will win that gift voucher. But since Chris Lee is here is number things I want to talk about next. How about this in regards to college game day in college football being near.

I think the first college game that is going to be a massive bomber next on the drive 20 now back to the drive Josh Graham Chris Lee Porter from WSI I with the here backpack in Greensboro don't look now but we are closing in on about 10 days away until college football season kicks off with zero game highlighted by Miami, Florida facing off hurricanes and the gators magic kingdom in Orlando will be hosting college game day for weeks. Zero game so a neutral site between those two teams that don't play each other very often brought. It sounds like a good idea to have college game day at the Disney kingdom to me that when you read into the details. It's kind of a bummer because Chris when you think of what makes college game day.

Great. What's the first rivalry game data show okay together rivalry is a good that's pretty good Robert so I guess I can talk myself until now. You talk about like being at a called skip the show college game day. It's not a campus but here's the part that is a major element. The other pieces that disappoint me. You can't bring signs or flags into the Disney Park so that when you have any of the signs for the flag. My favorite part of watching so usually when they're talking you love college football. You watch the show. You like the characters. What I do when they talk about a topic I'm not very interested in.

I just look at the signs and I look at the flags and then by the time of the look and get back I'm going to start listening to what they're talking about more times than not, but according to rules, they can't have flags they can't have signs better find a way to get that Washington state flag in there because they have a long street streak that's gone over 20 years. I think were the Washington state flag is Bennett every single college game. They broadcast but missing the campus element of this signs in the flags. I think it might heard it also when Lee Corso puts the head on leading right into a game at noon. There is no new game in week zero games Miami, Florida, 7 o'clock and then late game is Arizona and Hawaii. After that, so it's good to be Corso throwing it to bowling yeah it doesn't talk a good idea at all, but I'm hoping that maybe Disney can say like hey just for this week.

Maybe you guys can bring it signs just for this hopefully will allow them to do that is, it reminds me of the old is might appreciate this how TNA used to tape at University. You so like maybe if you had a separate entrance for you. You're going to that specifically maybe you can bring in signs or that is not allowed to park with scientifical back old TNA references here. The only thing I think that could save this Disney needs a great guest picker, like if you're going all Disney characters. You can bring out to sit next to Lee Corso and pick the game who might it be the mouse baby Minnie mouse click talk together, talk okay Mickey can talk and you can have him pick games and see the guy I need now is from a lot of you sing a song maybe do our talk is the only problem if there picking games.

That means they have to pick against somebody which might make some people mad if their favorite characters picking against their team. So what if it was a villain. So if you had a villain sit up far too far from our yes and then you get.

Also maybe Gilbert Gottfried up there to doing the TI go and why very well tell best for your doctorate is it's not as good as my John Gruden. We learned recently with hard knocks happening that I have in the average Gruden. I don't want to sell is being a good Gruden. I want to keep the bar pretty low here slightly above average, but it's a work in progress. Let me find some quotes from last night because I have my notes like a my phone no covers taken note of everything.

The guy saying this, this, this one's pretty good from John Gruden, the Los Angeles Rams were a bad team two years ago. It's time to wake up as a foot theme in the tell you what that thing is going to come in and want to kick your ass like it was okay. It's better than the Gilbert Gottfried that I just did a few moments ago I whined like Gilbert Gottfried. Even at the expense of all these people sitting in a restaurant. Okay, let's Rams world football team two years ago. It wake up as a football team.

I think their time does this is not just as head of the Gilbert Gottfried. As you are. John Gruden is with the Gilbert Gottfried no are you squinting your eyes and seizing let another try that one more time and see if it gets better coming on Twitter at sports of dryad that probably wasn't working the way I wanted it off.

Maybe you can even go into the Marvel character like since it is a Disney property or do the Marvel characters have any representation at the Disney parks Marvel characters over the universe and Dr. doom Y know there's a Star Wars ride at Disney. Okay. Later all say maybe later Darth Maul or Jean Earl Jones's voice picking games word no letters because Aaron has a deeper voice than all of us here can you give us some Darth Vader give us your pick Miami, Florida week zero in Orlando. Paul will go wow. Not bad wow like do you have any impressions or is Chris Lisa you're somebody who's skilled in so many different ways quite the performer on television about the deliver news and interviews before you were a wrestler as well. Did you ever have an impression of a wrestler maybe or somebody else open to having one comes to mind, but let us know what you know but actually since we couldn't get information out to you there. We need to get some information out of you now because during basketball season, Chris revealed that is a Duke fan and he has superstitions when he is around and about in the triad he sees that Duke is in trouble. He will go to a specific location and sit in his car because he believes that will help Duke basketball. When do I have this information right that something I did this past okay because I noticed something so had to go to the place that you story played Virginia 20 I went to the same place for another story ended up winning against Virginia again.

I'm not second Virginia so then night of Louisville at the work get off work a little bit early so they were down to sit here in the parking orbit I drove back home I turned on the TV and as I turned TV cameras is make us free throws wins we know… Come back to having his right before before you tell us the spot where it is you've agreed to tell us after the season ends, but the location is that magical spot from Chris Lee that he superstitions about dead it sounds. I want to try and guess where it is. It sounds like he's talking about a place he has to go in covering sports. I don't think it's a college location. I'm betting it's high school. What high school parking lot.

Do you think he was at where he would go to try and read on it high school. What I think what you think. Is that where you would go. I think he is at a high school parking lot.

I think it's actually some sort of dining establishment along the path of working normally travel. So if you or something over by W, X, or something towards his house and probably some sort of restaurant you tell us of its Greensboro, Winston-Salem or Kernersville Salem. I know I know that Chris really eats meat so it's gotta be some sort of like vegetarian type spot or I know you like like Jamaican Thai food like stuffing islands of the Caribbean type stuff.

I was thinking it might be some sort Caribbean joint legal and pick up a plate after worker to bring Xander guessing a Caribbean joint I'm good to go. Glenn high school parking lot where really I will say this little Reynolds. Josh is a lot warmer than what does is completely okay and what is school I had to go to acting size inside school and was listen, this is what happened there had an athlete a week. His name is Eric and Jonesy just transferred to another school go. I noticed I was there doing that athlete a week played Virginia that night. One. Then there was like some some conference games or some type best or was it in locating some games up with plated attack incident was against act and do played against Virginia again and they want tight game. So do goes against Virginia am sorry Louisville they're getting their butts kicked and so on the way home was like let me just take a little road accident. This go up there really quickly see what happens and asked what happened. So now retired at spot were nothing to do it again. Between 1920 20 sees excessive fines up to find a new spot but I can high school really help me out in 2019. This passage is internment on did not get a chance to thousand Roto-Rooter could. That's why do some Austin the only day I one point exactly date line because he wasn't an act in high school. It's such a written was such work, so I'm sorry Kobe will hate what you have an issue with air wow grow on Twitter at sports of dryad and high school go cables.

However wherever your listening appreciate that you can follow Chris Lee on the Twitter at Chris Lee LTA TV on Twitter if you miss any of the show best of podcast SoundCloud, I tuned up podcast Google play where it kickback Jack's new Garden Road location. If you're around stop by and say hello will be here till about 7 o'clock but also the drive is brought to you by another restaurant here in the triad as well. Twin Peaks Paintball Blvd. in Winston-Salem. A good friend of the show you combined the painful Boulevard again. Twin Peaks eats and drinks scenic views, that's the place to find them. We also have this challenge where the best caption wins. It's a photo of me when I was an intern or something six or seven years ago.

It looks embarrassing. It's on our Twitter at sports of dryad. The best caption will get you a kickback.

Jack's gift card already getting a tweet in here saying that you should have the $20 gift card for having that haircut somebody says it looks like three puberty Stephen Hawking – this awful do better. All I gotta say do better than this.

You are listening to W SGS Winston-Salem W COG Greensboro WPC in Burlington WMF or High Point. All of those signals making up the triad sports shop 20. Now back to the drive Josh Graham quickly ported from WSI I with the here kickback. Jack's Greensboro don't look now but we are closing in on about 10 days away until college football season kicks off with week zero game highlighted by Miami, Florida facing off hurricanes and the gators magic kingdom in Orlando will be hosting college game day for week zero game so a neutral site between those two things that don't play each other very often brought. It sounds like a good idea to have college game day at the Disney kingdom to me that when you read into the details. It's kind of a bummer because Chris when you think of what makes college game day. Great. What's the first I will college game data show okay together. Rivalries are good that's pretty good driver.

So I guess I can talk myself until now.

You talk about like being at a college game show college game day.

It's not the campus. But here's the part that is a major element. The other pieces that disappoint me. You can't bring signs or flags into the Disney Park so that when you want to have any of the signs for the flag. My favorite part of watching so usually when they're talking you love college football. You watch the show. You like the characters.

What I do when they talk about a topic I'm not very interested in. I just look at the signs and I look at the flags and then by the time of the look and get back I'm going to start listening to what they're talking about more times than not, but according to rules, they can't have flags they can't have signs better find a way to get that Washington state flag in there because they have a long street streak that's gone over 20 years.

I think were the Washington state flag is Bennett every single college game. They broadcast but missing the campus element of this signs in the flags. I think it might heard it also when Lee Corso puts the head on leading right into a game at noon. There is no new game in week zero games Miami, Florida, 7 o'clock and then late game is Arizona and Hawaii. After that, so it's good to be Corso throwing it to bowling yeah it doesn't like a good idea at all, but say like hey just for this week. Maybe you guys can bring it signs just for this.

Hopefully they'll allow them to do that is, it reminds me of the old is might appreciate this help teenagers to tape at University.

You so like maybe if you had a separate entrance for you. You're going to that specifically maybe you can bring in signs or that is not allowed to park with scientifical back like an old TNA references here. The only thing I think that could save this Disney needs a great guest picker, like if you're going all Disney characters.

You can bring up to sit next to Lee Corso and pick the game who might it be Mickey Mouse maybe Minnie mouse click talk yet.

Talk okay yeah Mickey can talk and you can have him pick games. Is he the guy I need now is from a live singer song maybe do our talk is the only problem if there picking games. That means they have to pick against somebody which might make some people mad if their favorite characters picking against their team.

So what if it was a villain. So if you had a villain sit up far Joe far from our yes and then you get. Also maybe Gilbert Gottfried up there to doing the Iago and why didn't very well tell best for your doctorate is it's not as good as my John Gruden. We learned recently with hard knocks happening that I have in the average Gruden.

I don't want to sell is being a good Gruden. I want to keep the bar pretty low here slightly above average, but it's a work in progress. Let me find some quotes from last night because I have my notes like on my phone no curse, taking note of everything.

The guy saying this, this, this one's pretty good from John Gruden, the Los Angeles Rams were a bad team two years ago. It's time to wake up as a foot theme, then let's tell you what that things can the come in and want to kick your ass like it was okay. It's better than the Gilbert Gottfried that I just did a few moments ago I line like Gilbert Gottfried. Even at the expense of all these people sitting in a restaurant. Okay, let's Rams world football team two years ago wake up as a football team met. I think they're time that this is not just as Gilbert Gottfried. As you are John Gruden equipment was with the Gilbert Gottfried no are you squinting your eyes and seizing the personal let another try that one more time and see if it gets better coming on Twitter at sports on triad that probably wasn't working the way I wanted it off.

Maybe you can even go into the Marvel characters like since it is a Disney property or do the Marvel characters have any representation at the Disney parks Marvel characters over the universe and Dr. doom Y know there's a Star Wars ride at Disney.

Okay. Later all say maybe later Darth Maul or Jean Earl Jones's voice picking games were no winners this Aaron has a deeper voice than all of us here can you give us some Darth Vader give us your pick Miami, Florida week zero in Orlando. Paul will go. Not bad wow like do you have any impressions or is Chris Lisa you're somebody who's skilled in so many different ways quite the performer on television about the deliver news and interviews before were a wrestler as well. Did you ever have an impression of a wrestler maybe or somebody else you have one comes to mind, but let us know what you know but actually since we couldn't get information out to you that we need to get some information out of you now because during basketball season, Chris revealed that he's a new fan and he has superstitions when he is around and about in the triad he sees that Duke is in trouble. He will go to a specific location and sit in his car because he believes that will help Duke basketball. When do I have this information right that something I did this past year because I noticed something so had to go to the place that you story played Virginia 20 I went to the same place for another story ended up winning against Virginia again.

I'm not second Virginia so then night of Louisville at work get off work a little bit early so they were down like me to sit here in the parking orbit I drove back home I turned on the TV and as I turned TV cameras is make us free throws wins we know… Come back to having his right before before you tell us the spot where it is you've agreed to tell us after the season ends what the location is that magical spot from Chris Lee that he superstitions about dance it sounds. I want to try and guess where it is. It sounds like he's talking about a place he has to go in covering sports. I don't think it's a college location. I'm betting it's high school. What high school parking lot. Do you think he was at where he would go to try and read on high school. What I think what you think. Is that where you would go. I think he is at a high school parking lot. I think it's actually some sort of dining establishment along the path of working normally travel.
