• 0:20
  Speaker 2: by talking about the Wegmans opening, and I might be
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: making an appearance later today as well.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Okay, so I need to ask you, first of all,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: where are you from in the north? And then secondly,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: explain to us what makes Wegmans so special, because some
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: people get it and some people, like some of us,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: just don't get it.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's a grocery store, but it's
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: really good. I mean, they have really good prepared food.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Their pizza is really good. Their hot bar is really good.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Their fresh sushi actually is the best grocery store sushi,
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: I would say. They just have a lot of good stuff.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Really crazy fonts all around the store, though. Signage is
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: kind of weird, but it's a fun time. And I'm
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: from Boston, so we had one around me growing up.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: I also lived in Virginia for a couple of years,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: and we had one in in Charlottesville, where I live there, too.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: So I've been a Wegmans loyalist for some time.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: The reports coming in that we see are unreal. Someone says...
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: people have brought their own chairs and they're sitting around
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: Cheese Island right now.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw that. Isn't that pretty crazy?
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: This is an event. They may not leave. This is
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: a resort for some of these folks. It's a freaking event, man.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: Well, I am very intrigued. I'm very intrigued.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: It's worth the trip to Valentine's Day.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: I like that idea. I'm going to let everybody chill
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: out a little bit. I'll stick to my local Costco
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: and I'll like it for now.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: So, Danielle, I want to ask you about... Taylor Moten's return.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Listen to him talk. First of all, he's such a
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: likable dude as it is, but when you listen to
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: him talk about the blood clots and him coughing up
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: blood and just how scary this must have been for
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: him and that there is some risk of him coming
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: back and playing football, but he thinks it's not great
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: and he loves the game. Listen to him talk yesterday
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: is a we can't just treat him like some dude
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: we desperately want back to help protect Bryce. Like this
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: is bigger than football. What did you think about hearing
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: about his story?
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: That's where the difference between being on the IR versus
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: the non injured, you know, list come into play too,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: where you realize, Hey, this is obviously bigger than football.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: This is someone taking care of their own wellbeing. And
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: that should be what everyone does prioritize. You always need
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: to listen to your body. You always need to make
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: sure you're taking care of yourself in those ways. But yeah,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, Timo's amazing, like you said. He's been around
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: this team for so long. He is so well-liked. Dave
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: was telling us a fun anecdote, how, like, everyone has
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: a running joke that everyone just says, happy birthday, Timo,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: whenever they see him. Just, like, whenever it's not his birthday.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: And he's kind of like the fun uncle, was what
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: they described. And I totally see that because he's just
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: such a good guy. I remember last year when we
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: were talking to him at the beginning of, before the
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: season started and he hadn't, had that next option picked
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: up and he wasn't sure exactly what his situation was
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: going to be here in Carolina long-term or anything like that.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: And he cried at the podium talking about what this city,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: what this team means to him. And that's the kind
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: of leader you need. Obviously a field says one thing,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: but the kind of person that they have in this
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: locker room who we've been seeing out at practice pretty
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: much every single day, he's always taking laps around the
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: field pregame. I always, say hey to him whenever we
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: have the past two home games and he's doing his
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: laps around the field. He's someone who's been around. So
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: to be obviously so candid about his own health scares and,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: you know, graphic was pretty, pretty detailed and being as
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: open with us as he was. I think that says
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: so much about the kind of guy he is and
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: what kind of player the Panthers will be getting back
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: for this next part of their season.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Danielle opinions vary on this but the eagles are an
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: injured mess coming off a a terrible way to lose
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: for themselves in london would you rather them come in
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: feeling this down or would you rather than be on
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: a high than we thought they were almost at against
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: jacksonville what what's your opinion on that do you like
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: the eagles being down or would you rather them feeling
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: good about themselves I mean, a.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Win's a win however way you get it. If they're
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: feeling good, if they're not feeling good, it doesn't matter
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: as long as the Panthers are feeling good. That's, I guess,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: how it should play out. Obviously, good games for viewers
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: come when both teams are looking some of their sharpest,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: whether that be Saquon, if he's going to be available
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: or not. But, I mean, I think they would rather
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: just get the win no matter whichever way it spins out.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: Works out.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: You got a wind gust there, Danielle? What's going on there? Yeah,
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: my bad. Okay.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Is it really loud?
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: That one was. That one got one got. I thought
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: you were in a wind tunnel.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: It was kind of soothing because it stopped Mac from
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: talking for a second.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: I couldn't say anything.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Bone loved it.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: It was the old rail trail. That's so my fault. Yeah,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: I'm outside.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: Oh, it's all good.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: The old rail trail.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: I thought Danielle Stein was reporting live from the NASCAR
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: wind tunnel. That's what I thought was going on there.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: All right. Daniel Stein, WCNC is with us. How do
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: you feel about Bryce? We talked about this earlier, like,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: and I'll throw the offense in too. Do you expect
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Bryce and the offense to do this for the full season?
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: I know there's some people that are like afraid it's
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: going to drop off. Bone and I, Bone and I
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: feel like this is a, this is going to be
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: a pretty damn good offense for 17 games.
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: How do you feel about that?
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: I feel pretty similar. I think that what we're seeing
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: is kind of what we're getting. Of course, there's going
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: to be some uncontrollables, whether people are injured or things
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: like that. But one thing about Bryce is I do
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: feel like he's pretty consistent in how he answers questions,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: how he does his workouts, how he does just his
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: whole life. So once Bryce seems like he's doing something
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: a certain way, it feels like this could be what
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: we would expect to see, especially now that we have
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: four games of a sample size and his numbers have
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: been excellent. It's not like they've had real drop-offs, even
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: that Cleveland game that they say wasn't maybe their strongest offensive.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: He still had two 91, I believe for passing hard.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: So Bryce looks sharp. He's like, I say, we talked
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: to him after this bi-week and we, you know, we
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: just saw this whole media tour that he just did
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: between going on game day and going on Monday night
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: football with Manning cast, things like that. And he's like, yeah,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: it's good experiences, but like just really happy to be
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: back in this building and getting to work with my guys.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: What do you think of the job that Brad has
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: done so far as a play caller?
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: I think it's great. I think, I think what's great
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: is it seems like Bryce and TMAC and all of
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: the other offensive weapons seem to be happy about it.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: And I think that's obviously what's the most important. clear
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: that they're really opening up Bryce's game. He's looking to
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: a lot of different targets as well. Of course, this
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: last one was big on TMAC, but the fact that
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: they're incorporating as many of the tight ends as regularly
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: as they are right now, I think is really great.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: And it's allowing Bryce, it looks like, to play a
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: lot more freely.
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: No doubt. No doubt about it. All right, Danielle. Well, hey,
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: it's good.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Good to talk to you. Good to catch up with you.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: And certainly fun talking about this Panther team. Hopefully that'll
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: be the same after Sunday. Thanks for coming on. Anything
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: specifically you and Carboni are cooking up on WCNC?
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: Anything you want to promote specifically?
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Oh, let's see. I did my one-on-one. I do typically
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: a weekly one-on-one with a player. This week I got
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: undrafted rookie Aaron Hall, who was first of all, such
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: a nice guy and such a good interview. But what
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: a cool story. One of three players on this team
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: to get on that 53 after being undrafted, not an
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: easy thing, but he's played in all four games. He
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: had a start. He's looked really sharp and there's some
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: changes to that room. We know that cam Jackson is
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: now going to be out for the season. So he
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: very well could be sticking around in this lineup, even
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: if Turk Wharton is back in it. So there's a
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: little bit of change coming in that room. Um, and
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: then I guess on the side, something fun I've been doing,
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you guys have been seeing this,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: but whenever I chat with any of the athletes, I
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: like to talk about food quite a bit. Um, So
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: I've been doing a little social series, which has been
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: really fun, called Taste of the Pros. And I ask guys, like,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: all right, you're around Charlotte. You want a bite to eat.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Where are you going? And what are you ordering? Nice.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: And then I go and try what they're doing. So
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: people have been awesome about it. Let me think. Like,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Devin Lloyd sent me to Del Frisco's, so opened my
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: wallet up there big time. But, like, Jimmy Horn Jr.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: loved Nana Morrison's soul food. Before he had left, I
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: had asked him that one. So it's just been cool
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: to know what people's favorite bites are around the city.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: That's awesome.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: That's a cool idea. Yeah. People like it. And what
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: person in general doesn't like to answer what their favorite
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: foods are to eat?
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: Absolutely. You are speaking our language now.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: That's what most of our segments turn into, to be
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: honest with you.
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: I love it. I love it. So that's very cool.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: All right, Danielle.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Well, hey, good to catch up with you. And thanks
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: for coming on. Keep up the good work.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Appreciate you guys. Have a good one.
