Ep 686BLOOD FEUD: NC State Handles Business Against Hobbled UNC
EIt’s the latest OG After Dark, presented by Bloomin’ Blinds, and the guys went live immediately following NC State vs. North Carolina — the only regular-season meeting between the rivals.

Eventually, the game settled into cruise control for the Wolfpack.Ovies and Giglio break down what the result actually tells us — if anything —about both squads. Does NC State use the win to spring board into a strong regular season finish? Did the lack of Wilson and Veesaar expose Hubert Davis roster construction?

Ep 682UNC’s predictable Duke hangover | Inside the Hornets vs Pistons brawl | OG Sports Phone | 02.11
EHangovers are the theme of the week, and the latest example is North Carolina’s stumble at Miami after the emotional high of beating Duke on Saturday. Predictable? Maybe. Acceptable? Not according to plenty of Tar Heels fans who lit up the OG Sports Phone. The guys break down what the loss says about UNC and whether this kind of letdown is just part of the deal or something bigger. As for Duke? Just another meat and potatoes ACC win in the books. WFNZ and Locked On Hornets host Walker Mehl joins the show to unpack the brawl between Charlotte and Detroit, why the Hornets might be the most interesting pro team in North Carolina right now, and how the NBA’s Eastern Conference suddenly feels…available.

Ep 681OG Business: Bad Bunny, country artists, and where the NFL goes next for their halftime show
EOn the latest OG Business, Joe Ovies and Demetri Ravanos dig into the one thing everyone can’t stop talking about: Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show. The NFL got exactly what it wanted — eyeballs, buzz, and debate — but now comes the hard part: what do you do for an encore? The guys handicap potential future halftime acts and break down why country artists still face an uphill climb to land the biggest stage in sports. From there, it’s on to Kid Rock’s counter-programming, America’s ongoing ratings illiteracy, and what this year’s batch of Super Bowl commercials says about where the culture is right now. The ultimate takeaway? Maybe we should all be a little more like Spuds McKenzie and Joe Camel.Want the full episode? It's just $5 a month.

What does it mean for the Wolfpack in March? OG Media Senior Bracketologist Patrick Stevens joins the guys to break down the impact on NC State’s NCAA Tournament seeding and the bigger picture across the ACC. Then, The Athletic’s Brendan Marks stops by to dive into UNC’s stunner over Duke: does it carry into the rest of the season, should we reevaluate Carolina’s ceiling, and did the win change any of the discourse around the future of the Smith Center? Plus, at Duke, what these rare losses reveal about the Blue Devils’ biggest deficiency.

Ep 679Drake Maye Sees Ghosts in Super Bowl Snoozer | UNC vs Duke Aftermath | Roy Cooper Convo | OG Sports Phone | 02.09
EIt’s a very hungover Giglio to start the show, which somehow leads perfectly into the big question: will there be a Super Bowl hangover for Drake Maye? The Seattle Seahawks dominated the New England Patriots, putting the spotlight back on the schedule and just how good Maye really was in the postseason. After some riffing on Bad Bunny’s halftime show and the truly awful Super Bowl ads, the guys shift to the aftermath of North Carolina’s stunner over Duke. What’s a hot take? What’s a reasonable take? And Ovies has an idea that might actually change how kids go about storming the court. Former North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper stops by the studio to talk about the big games, the Carolina Hurricanes and more. Plus!

Ep 677OG Mailbag: What would happen if MrBeast funded ECU? | 'Penisgate' at the Olympics
EIt’s another OG Mailbag, which means all bets are off. Ovies & Giglio tackle your questions about what would happen if MrBeast funded ECU football, penis-enlarging Olympic ski jumpers (don’t ask), the slow death of newspaper sports sections, reckonings, logos, the Charlotte Hornets, and whether the Pro Football Hall of Fame voting process is the reason Torry Holt is still on the outside looking in. They also hit the Carolina Hurricanes, how the OG Sports Phone works and plenty of the wonderfully unhinged stuff that only the OG Mailbag can deliver.Want the full episode? It's just $5 a month.

Ep 675Reckoning rolling? NC State 6-0 in ACC road games | Will Duke's D travel to UNC? | Believe in Bussi | Drake Maye story time | 02.04
EThe show opens with NC State moving to 6–0 on the road in ACC play after a dramatic win over SMU, and the buzz around where Will Wade has the Wolfpack headed for the stretch run to the ACC Tournament. That excitement spills over to the OG Sports Phone, where fans call in admitting a few things they maybe should’ve kept to themselves. Over at Duke, another dominant defensive performance seals a win over Boston College — but will that defense travel to Chapel Hill? Then it’s to the ice, as the Carolina Hurricanes head into the Olympic break as one of the favorites in Vegas, and it sure feels like everyone believes in Bussi now. ESPN’s Brooke Pryor joins the show from the Super Bowl to talk lessons from the hiring cycle and Drake Maye storylines.

Ep 673Is UNC ready for Duke after wonky win over 'Cuse? | Hornets demand your attention | Quiet Panthers offseason? | 02.02
EThe show opens with Ovies trying to wrap his head around Jay Williams — yes, that Duke legend — once again sounding openly wistful about North Carolina, just days before another rivalry showdown on Saturday. From there, the guys break down UNC’s glass-half-full, glass-half-empty win over Syracuse and what it actually says about this team. N&O’s Shelby Swanson joins the pod to assess the Heels’ season so far and why Caleb Wilson feels tailor-made for rivalry games like this. Staying on the hardwood, WFNZ’s Walker Mehl stops by to talk about the suddenly streaking Charlotte Hornets — is this real, and is it real enough to knock Panthers talk off the airwaves for at least a week? In the Lightning Round, the guys hit Roger Goodell’s state of the NFL, more Hall of Fame discourse, some truly silly Super Bowl questions, and more.

Ep 672While Duke remains atop ACC, have UNC and NC State turned it around? | Fishel on Raleigh's "Weather Dome" | Lightning Round | 02.02
EAfter a brief Super Bowl Radio Row tangent, Ovies & Giglio lock in on college basketball as the “unofficial” start of the season arrives with Duke vs. UNC. The Blue Devils look like they’re in a tier of their own in the ACC, while the Tar Heels have completely flipped the conversation from two weeks ago — when the pressure was squarely on Hubert Davis. Is the pressure off? Will it ever be for Hubert? Maybe that’s not even the point anymore, as UNC has settled into clearer roles and better overall play. Meanwhile, NC State picked up another road win. Strip away the noise, and the Wolfpack is having a pretty solid season. But the rest of the schedule will ultimately decide whether Will Wade has truly figured out what this team is heading into March.Then it’s over to the weather, where Greg Fishel joins the show to finally answer the eternal Triangle question: Does Raleigh have a “weather dome”? In the Lightning Round, the guys hit the NHL Stadium Series, the Carolina Hurricanes, some college hoops hot takes, and more.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Super Bowl Radio Row still a thing?14:00 - Duke vs. UNC time has arrived26:30 - NC State is good39:00 - OG Gambling Syndicate43:00 - Housekeeping55:00 - Greg Fishel1:08:00 - Lightning Round1:36:00 - Hey JoeOG x BreakingT: https://breakingt.com/collections/the-ovies-giglio-collection?rfsn=7630833.c3bd9f7OG Secret Stash: http://theog.shop/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OGTriangleMediaOG Membership Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Qpevj6hElebdWc2SSGkWw/join Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ep 671OG Mailbag: Y'all know this one is all about logos and jerseys so don't act surprised
EIt’s another OG Mailbag, and Ovies & Giglio are turning the show over to the listeners. Calls and comments drive the conversation as the guys hit everything that’s been lighting up inboxes, timelines, and the OG Sports Phone. The mailbag opens with Triangle snow talk and Giglio having no recollection of the time he balled out in a high school football game. From there, listeners weigh in on Drake Maye and the complicated emotions around rooting for him on the sport’s biggest stage. There are questions about Darian Mensah’s settlement with Duke, what it actually means going forward, and how it fits into the evolving NIL landscape. The Olympics come up too, including what they could mean for teams and players closer to home.And of course, the biggest topic of the week: logos and jerseys.

Ep 669Drake Maye, Cam Newton & why you should never meet your heroes | Canes check-in | More snow? | 01.29
EOvies & Giglio open "OG Live", brought to you by The Butcher's Market, with Cam Newton once again taking aim at Drake Maye. The former MVP is doubling down on the idea that the former UNC quarterback is, at best, a game manager — and at worst another version of Trent Dilfer. That’s a tough pill to swallow for Maye, who grew up idolizing Cam, even breaking out the Superman TD celebration earlier this season when facing the Panthers. From there, it’s over to the Carolina Hurricanes, whose schedule lightens up heading into the Olympic break even as trade rumors begin to heat up. What should the Canes actually be looking to do as the postseason approaches?And because it’s the Triangle, no week is complete without weather drama. With another winter storm threatening the area, former colleague Nate Johnson of The Weather Channel joins the show to explain what’s coming and what to watch for.Plus, your OG Sports Phone calls and more along the way.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Don't meet your heroes14:00 - Housekeeping18:00 - Maniscalco on the Canes38:00 - Will it snow?54:00 - Branding talk with Rhoback1:06:00 - Did PGA beat LIV?1:13:00 - ACC emails1:21:00 - Gordon Miller1:36:00 - Hey JoeOG x BreakingT: https://breakingt.com/collections/the-ovies-giglio-collection?rfsn=7630833.c3bd9f7OG Secret Stash: http://theog.shop/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OGTriangleMediaOG Membership Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Qpevj6hElebdWc2SSGkWw/join Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ep 668Belichick’s Hall of Fame snub exposes football politics | NC State improving on court while fans slobber over logos | Bomani Jones convo | Social Media Dump | 01.28
EAs the guys like to say, anyone can podcast on a Monday — and the same apparently goes for a Wednesday. Especially when Bill Belichick is reportedly snubbed on his first Pro Football Hall of Fame ballot and NC State fans are losing their minds over logos. Ovies & Giglio welcome Bomani Jones to the show to dig into the Belichick news and the very political reality of Hall of Fame voting across every sport. Why do these debates always get so messy, and what actually matters when it comes to legacy? Then it’s on to ACC hoops, where there are two very different NC State conversations happening at once: the Wolfpack’s win over Syracuse and head coach Will Wade apologizing after accidentally kicking a hornet’s nest over retro uniforms.

Ep 667Myers Park to Super Bowl: Drake Maye’s coach on QB journey | Duke and everyone else in hoops? | Mensah settles | OG Sports Phone | 01.27
EAfter some winter weather banter to get things rolling, Ovies & Giglio welcome Louisville Courier-Journal’s C.L. Brown for a deep dive into ACC basketball. What was billed as a marquee regular-season showdown between Duke and Louisville quickly turned into a blowout, raising the big question facing the league right now: Is it Duke…and then everyone else in the ACC?From there, the show shifts to football with Clayton High School head coach Scott Chadwick, who reflects on his time at Myers Park — right when Drake Maye was beginning to turn heads at quarterback. Chadwick shares insight into Maye’s early development, how he ultimately landed at North Carolina, and the unforgettable moment when Sam Darnold broke down Maye’s HUDL tape.In college football news, Darian Mensah and Duke officially settle their NIL contract dispute. Triangle-area attorney David McKenzie joins the show to explain what the settlement actually accomplished—and what it means for the future of NIL agreements.Plus, your OG Sports Phone calls and plenty more along the way.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - NC weather law of the wolf?06:00 - ACC hoops24:00 - Housekeeping30:00 - Scott Chadwick on Drake Maye1:04:00 - Bills did what?1:12:00 - Mensah and Duke settle1:32:00 - Hey Joe OG x BreakingT: https://breakingt.com/collections/the-ovies-giglio-collection?rfsn=7630833.c3bd9f7OG Secret Stash: http://theog.shop/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OGTriangleMediaOG Membership Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Qpevj6hElebdWc2SSGkWw/join Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ep 666Maye & Darnold make Charlotte center of Super Bowl universe | UNC, Duke, & State hoops | 'Slobbering Wolf' debate | 01.26
EThe latest Ovies & Giglio kicks off with Super Bowl storylines running straight through Charlotte, thanks to the matchup between New England and Seattle. The game heads back to San Francisco — the site of the Panthers’ last Super Bowl appearance — and there’s a full-circle moment tied to it. Drake Maye, a Charlotte kid who grew up rooting for Cam Newton, was there for that Panthers loss… and now he’s playing on the sport’s biggest stage himself. There’s also the remarkable reclamation of Sam Darnold, who has gone from being benched by the Carolina Panthers to finding his way back into relevance. And looming over it all? An increasingly awkward couple of weeks ahead for Bill Belichick.Then it’s over to ACC hoops, where North Carolina stole the spotlight Saturday with a comeback win at Virginia. After the west coast flop had many writing off the Heels, a road win like that could be an inflection point for Hubert Davis and the season’s direction. NC State also notched another road victory—and while that’s worth noting, the internet seems far more focused on… logos. Why is everyone suddenly obsessed, and what does it even mean?TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - RIP Giglio's Rams ticket03:00 - Charlotte center of Super Bowl universe09:00 - Is New England likable?18:00 - Second guessing the Seans28:00 - OG Gambling Syndicate30:30 - Belichick biggest loser of the weekend40:00 - Housekeeping46:00 - ACC hoops1:13:30 - Hey Joe1:26:00 - Slobbering Wolf debateOG x BreakingT: https://breakingt.com/collections/the-ovies-giglio-collection?rfsn=7630833.c3bd9f7OG Secret Stash: http://theog.shop/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OGTriangleMediaOG Membership Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Qpevj6hElebdWc2SSGkWw/join Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ep 664Did UNC get their groove back? | Smith Center debate boiling | Mensah saga continues | Moments in Triangle Snow History | 01.22
EIt’s another OG Live, brought to you by The Butcher’s Market, and the guys are joined by ESPN’s Wes Durham to break down North Carolina’s emphatic win over Notre Dame. Was it the wake-up call the Tar Heels needed — or simply taking advantage of a matchup that won’t be there when UNC heads to Virginia?From there, the conversation shifts to NC State’s ongoing consistency issues and whether anyone in the ACC can realistically challenge Duke as conference play unfolds. Speaking of the Blue Devils, the Darian Mensah saga continues. While the case could help set NIL precedent, it also raises a bigger question: do situations like this — along with NBA draft picks returning to college — further erode what draws fans to college sports in the first place?Plus, another edition of Great Moments in Triangle Snow History, your OG Sports Phone calls, and plenty more.OG x BreakingT: https://breakingt.com/collections/the-ovies-giglio-collection?rfsn=7630833.c3bd9f7OG Secret Stash: http://theog.shop/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OGTriangleMediaOG Membership Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Qpevj6hElebdWc2SSGkWw/join Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ep 663Will Wade learns "Law of the Wolf" | ACC bracketology | Duke sues Mensah | Canes need Freddie | Women's hoops check-in | 01.21
EAfter a brief detour into mushroom coffee, the guys dive into NC State’s win at Clemson and Will Wade getting a crash course in the “Law of the Wolf." Then Patrick Stevens (Washington Post, OG Media’s chief bracketologist) joins the show to unveil his first NCAA Tournament bracket projection of the season, setting the table for how ACC teams are stacking up early.It’s time for a hockey break with Canes play-by-play voice Mike Maniscalco, including why the Olympics might be exactly what Freddie Andersen needs as the Hurricanes manage their goalie situation. Later, Mitch Northam checks in on women’s hoops, including where the ongoing Smith Center debate lands for UNC’s women’s program. Plus, Duke sues Darian Mensah, and the episode wraps with a very special memorabilia delivery from a listener.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Mushroom coffee?04:00 - Wade learns "Law of the Wolf"17:00 - Bracketology26:00 - Housekeeping31:30 - Maniscalco on Canes57:00 - Women's hoops check-in1:11:30 - OG Gambling Syndicate1:19:00 - Duke sues Mensah1:31:30 - Gifts!OG x BreakingT: https://breakingt.com/collections/the-ovies-giglio-collection?rfsn=7630833.c3bd9f7OG Secret Stash: http://theog.shop/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OGTriangleMediaOG Membership Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Qpevj6hElebdWc2SSGkWw/join Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ep 662Who Will Be the Next Indiana? Answer Might Be UNC or NC State | Can the Heels Fix Their Hoops Season? | 01.20
EThe guys open the show reacting to Indiana’s improbable 16–0 national championship season, capped by the Hoosiers knocking off Miami in the College Football Playoff. There’s a breakdown of the game itself, but the bigger conversation centers on how Curt Cignetti flipped one of the worst major-conference programs in college football history in just two seasons — and what that means for the sport moving forward.That leads to the inevitable question: who’s the next Indiana? And after digging into the realities of modern college football, the answer may only come from the Triangle.Switching to college basketball, The Athletic’s Brendan Marks joins the show to revisit a debate from December: who actually has the better roster, UNC or Duke? But maybe that’s the wrong framing. Maybe this season is really about coaching. What’s behind UNC’s recent struggles, can they be fixed, and how much does the ongoing conversation about the future of the Smith Center reflect a broader uncertainty about the future of Tar Heel basketball itself?TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Mountain Time is the best time05:00 - Indiana did it17:00 - Larger implications of this CFP28:00 - The "next" Indiana is NC State or UNC36:00 - Housekeeping42:00 - UNC or Duke's roster part two47:00 - What's up with Caleb Wilson1:02:00 - Smith Center debate1:10:00 - NC State danger zone1:23:00 - Ovies' crazy Belichick to Bills idea1:33:00 - OG Gambling Syndicate1:38:00 - Hey JoeOG x BreakingT: https://breakingt.com/collections/the-ovies-giglio-collection?rfsn=7630833.c3bd9f7OG Secret Stash: http://theog.shop/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OGTriangleMediaOG Membership Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Qpevj6hElebdWc2SSGkWw/join Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ep 661Danger zone for UNC, NC State | The Patriots redefine Bracket Luck | Canes hitting stride
ECalifornia was unkind to UNC basketball. After losing both legs of the Golden State trip, the Tar Heels and Hubert Davis face some serious questions. Meanwhile, NC State did what it previously hadn't done and lost a game it shouldn't. Eighteen games into the season, Will Wade's team is searching for an identity. Hats off to the New England Patriots and their fans. Their long nightmare is finally over. Seriously, how lucky can one franchise be? The Carolina Hurricanes have a matinee with the Buffalo Sabres. Don't look now but the Canes, with all of their parts, look like a War Machine. Hayes Permar joins Joe Giglio for a special live episode, brought to you by Bloomin Blinds.

Ep 659OG Mailbag: Hubert Davis reaching 'Forever Grateful' status? | Smith Center nostalgia | Pryor out
EOn this episode of OG Mailbag, Ovies & Giglio dig into why Hubert Davis may have reached the dreaded “forever grateful” status with some UNC fans — and why that framing misses a bigger point. The ACC is simply better this season, and the west coast swing is taking a toll on a lot of teams. That doesn’t mean UNC doesn’t have defensive issues, but neither do NC State or Duke. The real question: can any of them actually fix it?Staying in Chapel Hill, there’s also been a noticeable uptick in Smith Center nostalgia — what’s driving it, and what does it say about the current moment for UNC basketball?Plus, it wouldn’t be OG Mailbag without strong opinions on Panthers QB Bryce Young, along with a handful of off-the-wall questions covering cruise ships, wide shoes, and John Pryor.Want the full episode?

Ep 658SEC’s title drought turning into conference crisis? | CFP format debate | Canes check-in | NFL Lightning Round | 01.14
EWith Demetri Ravanos filling in for Giglio, the show opens with a big-picture college football question: is the SEC cooked? The league hasn’t put a team in the College Football Playoff championship game for three straight years, and the landscape has clearly shifted. With money flooding the sport, the transfer portal enabling drastic roster turnover, and Nick Saban no longer running the show, is there finally enough data to say the SEC’s grip is slipping? And if so, how does the conference fix it? The answer might lie in the structure of the College Football Playoff, but even there, the Big Ten and SEC want very different things. Still, one thing is undeniable — college football has never been more popular.From there, it’s over to the Carolina Hurricanes, coming off an overtime loss to Detroit and a regulation loss to St. Louis. With Florida coming to town, this next game is more about setting the tone than the final score. In the Lightning Round, the guys hit Bryce Young’s 5th-year option, Mike Tomlin’s exit from Pittsburgh, and more.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Is the SEC cooked?14:00 - CFP format debate rages on23:00 - Football fans over McAfee?28:00 - Realignment rumors are back!35:00 - Housekeeping41:00 - Maniscalco on the Canes1:11:00 - NFL Lightning Round1:33:00 - Hey JoeOG x BreakingT: https://breakingt.com/collections/the-ovies-giglio-collection?rfsn=7630833.c3bd9f7OG Secret Stash: http://theog.shop/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OGTriangleMediaOG Membership Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Qpevj6hElebdWc2SSGkWw/join Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

EThe guys open the show with the Carolina Hurricanes getting jobbed by the refs in an overtime loss to Detroit — fitting on Sergei Fedorov’s jersey retirement night, which only adds another chapter to the weird and complicated Canes–Red Wings lore.From there, it’s over to the NFL, where we brace ourselves for the exhausting conversations that are about to dominate the offseason around Mike Tomlin and Aaron Rodgers. Plus, Houston’s defense put on a clinic, showing why they might be the best unit in the league — a sobering preview of what Drake Maye and New England are up against. Then it’s time to zero in on the Carolina Panthers and their offseason checklist. One thing is no longer up for debate: Bryce Young is the quarterback through at least 2027. So what exactly needs to get better around him?Ovies’ dad swings through the studio to talk Miami Hurricanes, and in Hey Joe, the guys dive into a spirited debate about Eagles fans vs. Bills fans.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Intro02:00 - Canes almost spoil Fedorov night12:00 - Houston smushed Pittsburgh20:00 - Drake "Drake Maye" Maye28:00 - Housekeeping35:00 - Carolina Panthers offseason1:01:00 - Ovies' dad on The U1:27:00 - Eagles fans vs. Bills fansOG x BreakingT: https://breakingt.com/collections/the-ovies-giglio-collection?rfsn=7630833.c3bd9f7OG Secret Stash: http://theog.shop/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OGTriangleMediaOG Membership Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Qpevj6hElebdWc2SSGkWw/join Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ep 656Canales & Young finally won over Carolina Panthers fans | UNC & Duke defensive woes | NFL Wild Card takes | 01.12
EThe guys open the show by admitting OG Media, LLC nearly dissolved over Giglio’s Rams ticket and Ovies cracking open a 10-year-old Super Bowl 50 beer in hopes of summoning playoff magic. Spoiler: the beer wasn’t strong enough. The Carolina Panthers’ season ends in the NFL Wild Card, and while the final defensive stand is fair to question, Dave Canales and Bryce Young deserve real credit for winning fans over after taking serious heat back in September.From there, it’s a Lightning Round of NFL Wild Card takes, including one big-picture question: when is it OK to move on from a coach who consistently gets you to the playoffs? Then it’s over to ACC hoops, where Duke and UNC are both searching for defensive consistency, while NC State keeps handling business in games they’re supposed to win.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Intro03:00 - Rams get over on Panthers17:00 - NFL Wild Card takes37:00 - Housekeeping41:00 - Triangle hoops1:04:00 - Panthers won fans back1:20:00 - OG Sports Phone1:36:00 - Hey Joe is Indiana a war machine?OG x BreakingT: https://breakingt.com/collections/the-ovies-giglio-collection?rfsn=7630833.c3bd9f7OG Secret Stash: http://theog.shop/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OGTriangleMediaOG Membership Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Qpevj6hElebdWc2SSGkWw/join Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

They also discuss how the Carolina Panthers have tapped into vibes reminiscent of the 2019 Carolina Hurricanes, and why fans should embrace the moment.Plus, questions about the future of FanDuel Sports Network, a check-in on ACC basketball, and a very important debate: should Ovies & Giglio do a show from Marbles Kids Museum?

EIt’s a Butcher’s Market OG Live, and Ovies & Giglio make sure the vibes are right—starting with Ovies cracking open (and drinking) another Super Bowl 50 beer in honor of the Carolina Panthers. Speaking of vibes, they’re about to be sky-high in Charlotte with the expected return of Cam Newton. The Athletic’s Brendan Marks, who covered the franchise during the final days of the Newton era, joins the show to explain why this moment matters and what it means for the Panthers fan base.From there, the guys shift to ACC basketball for a midseason check-in, including the big question: how many teams will the conference send to the NCAA Tournament?

Ep 653NC State’s Season Feels Like '25 UNC | Duke’s Slow Starts Matter Long Term? | Jarvis Returns, Rantanen Gets Booed | NFL Vacancies | 01.07
EThe show opens with ACC basketball, where Duke and NC State each picked up wins that felt very glass half full, glass half empty. For the Blue Devils, slow starts are becoming “a thing,” but Jon Scheyer and his roster continue to problem-solve in real time. For the Wolfpack, opponents lighting it up from three remains an issue — but getting Darrion Williams going was a much-needed positive.From there, it’s on to the Carolina Hurricanes, where fans welcomed Mikko Rantanen with boos and chants. Fun moment — but the bigger story is Seth Jarvis returning to the ice and what that means for the Canes moving forward. The guys wrap with the NFL, where there are already seven head coaching jobs open, with potentially two more depending on how the playoffs play out in Buffalo and Pittsburgh.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Duke's slow starts09:00 - NC State got DW going20:00 - Housekeeping24:00 - Maniscalco on the Canes1:01:00 - NFL coaching vacancies1:14:00 - OG Gambling Syndicate1:22:00 - Hey JoeOG x BreakingT: https://breakingt.com/collections/the-ovies-giglio-collection?rfsn=7630833.c3bd9f7OG Secret Stash: http://theog.shop/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OGTriangleMediaOG Membership Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Qpevj6hElebdWc2SSGkWw/join Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ep 652UNC guards under microscope | What “ahead of schedule” really means for the Panthers | Social Media Dump | 01.06
EOvies & Giglio set the table for a busy night of Triangle sports, with NC State and Duke both in action, before turning their focus to UNC basketball. While much of the attention has been on Caleb Wilson and Henri Veesaar, the spotlight shifts to the Tar Heels’ guard play following the loss to SMU. News & Observer’s Shelby Swanson joins the show to break down Hubert Davis’ options and what changes could be coming.The guys then circle back to the Carolina Panthers with Charlotte Observer writer Mike Kaye.

Ep 651Panthers backdoor NFC South title | Will Wade had a week | Duke & UNC prob solving | Lightning Round | 01.05
EThe show opens with the Carolina Panthers winning the NFC South in the most NFC South way possible — backing into the title after whiffing on their chance to clinch it against Tampa Bay. In the end, it doesn’t matter. After everything the franchise has endured since its last playoff appearance in 2017, a division title is a division title. Plus, the guys note some familiar vibes starting to line up with past Panthers playoff runs…including 2015.From there, it’s on to ACC basketball at the midway point of the season. With UNC and Duke, the identities are clear and both teams are actively problem-solving their issues. NC State, on the other hand, is still a mystery — and Will Wade is doing his best to maximize the roster he assembled, which helps explain his viral New Year’s Eve outburst following the win over Wake Forest.In the Lightning Round, Ovies & Giglio hit a busy stretch for the Carolina Hurricanes, react to the College Football Playoff, transfer portal movement, and the latest NFL head coaching openings.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Panthers Kings of 💩 Mountain!25:30 - Housekeeping35:00 - Will Wade had a week1:04:00 - UNC & Duke problem solving1:15:00 - Canes just trying to survive1:22:00 - College football1:36:00 - NFL openings1:44:00 - Hey JoeOG x BreakingT: https://breakingt.com/collections/the-ovies-giglio-collection?rfsn=7630833.c3bd9f7OG Secret Stash: http://theog.shop/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OGTriangleMediaOG Membership Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Qpevj6hElebdWc2SSGkWw/join Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ep 650Carolina Panthers will emerge from NFC South trash heap? | Canes injury woes pile up | ACC conference play begins | 12.30
EOvies & Giglio check in one last time in 2025, with plenty to get into today. They open with the Carolina Panthers, who continued their win-loss pattern by dropping their final home game against the Seattle Seahawks. While the result wasn’t a surprise, it’s fair to be disappointed that Carolina didn’t lock up the NFC South when they had the chance. Now it all comes down to Week 18 vs. Tampa Bay, with a possible backdoor to the division title if the Atlanta Falcons lend some help.In the Lightning Round, the guys hit more injury trouble for the Carolina Hurricanes — and this one’s significant — as Pyotr Kochetkov is out for the season after electing surgery to address a lingering lower-body issue. They also check in on NC State, UNC, and Duke heading into ACC conference play, plus quick thoughts on college football bowl season.The rest of the episode continues on the YouTube Membership channel, where Ovies & Giglio audit podcast metrics, revisit some calls of the year, and open up the OG Sports Phone for listeners to share their best moments of 2025.

Ep 648Panthers pattern leading to NFC South title? | Belichick & Petrino!? | Triangle hoops check-in | CFP's blowout problem | 12.22
EOvies & Giglio get sidetracked early by the news that UNC is set to hire Bobby Petrino as its offensive coordinator, which naturally raises the question: is Bill Belichick actively trying to get everyone in Chapel Hill to root against them? From there, the guys eventually make it to the Carolina Panthers, where the pattern continues to hold and has them positioned to win the NFC South. The win over the Buccaneers somehow managed to encapsulate the entire Panthers season in one game. In college football, NC State finally snapped its bowl losing streak — but what does it actually mean, and will CJ Bailey be back?
