Rushmore prompts: Things North Carolina Has Given to the World, Video Game Consoles, Family Vacations, Bar Bathroom Drugs, and more.

Then the guys find themselves in the middle of NC State fans speed running takes on NC State head coach Dave Doeren.

  NC State vs. UNC Greensboro Official | HPU Coach Flynn Clayman | State of NC High School Sports | Panthers Overreactions | 08.19

  Aug 19, 20261h 57m

  Live to tape live from High Point University! Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio sit down with HPU head coach Flynn Clayman, break down the larger implications of NC State-UNC officially meeting in Greensboro for hoops, get the state of NC high school sports from Nick Stevens, and more... TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - UNC vs. State in Greensboro official 17:00 - UNC has a QB1 21:00 - Panthers can't "lose" a practice 26:00 - Housekeeping 31:00 - HPU's Flynn Clayman 1:10:00 - Varsity NC's Nick Stevens 1:42:00 - Hey Joe The "OG Summer Tour" rolls on! The guys start the show reacting to huge local college basketball news: NC State and UNC are officially set to meet in a non-conference showdown at the Greensboro Coliseum. While fans are thrilled to get an extra Tobacco Road matchup on the calendar, Joe and Joe explain how this game could serve as a testing ground for how traditional ACC rivalries survive in an era of rapid conference realignment. Moving to the gridiron, the guys analyze reporting out of Chapel Hill naming Billy Edwards Jr. as the starting quarterback for UNC's high-stakes season opener against TCU. Plus, Ovies takes aim at the internet panic over Carolina Panthers joint practice reports — explaining why stressing over injuries is natural, but claiming a team "lost" an August practice session to the Jacksonville Jaguars is a total overreaction. Then, High Point University men’s basketball head coach Flynn Clayman pulls up a chair. Fresh off a viral March Madness run that featured an upset victory over Wisconsin, Coach Clayman details his coaching journey, explains how mid-major programs navigate the modern portal landscape differently than ACC powers, and discusses how HPU went all-in to build a national basketball brand. Finally, Nick Stevens—founder of Varsity NC—joins the broadcast to assess the state of North Carolina high school athletics. Nick breaks down how school athletic directors are responding to dropping participation rates, and how the rise of NIL and portal dynamics at the college level is unexpectedly reshaping in-state high school recruiting to the benefit of local programs.

  Panthers Preseason of Meh | Greg Barnes on UNC's New Financial Reality | Technician Sets Doeren Tone | Bomani on Pro Team Valuation Bubble | 08.17

  Aug 17, 20262 hour

  Students are back on campus, meaning college football season is one step closer to kicking off. InsideCarolina's Greg Barnes discusses Belichick's youth movement early season stress test and UNC's role in the future of conference realignment, Bomani Jones joins to break down the potential of a professional sports franchise valuation bubble, and more... TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Welcome back, students! 06:00 - Carolina Panthers continue "meh" preseason 13:00 - Technician puts Doeren on notice 22:00 - Housekeeping 28:00 - InsideCarolina's Greg Barnes 1:03:00 - Bomani Jones convo 1:33:00 - Chris Hooks on HS Game of the Week 1:46:00 - Hey Joe Students are officially back on campus across the Triangle, which means the fall semester is underway and hot takes are flying! Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio kick off the episode addressing a viral student newspaper guest column putting NC State head coach Dave Doeren on blast. While adults might roll their eyes at calls to reject the "status quo," Ovies explains why the column reads exactly like the same emotional meltdowns adult fans have after a tough loss. Speaking of hot takes, the Carolina Panthers continue their uninspiring preseason thanks to a loss at Buffalo. It's not so much about what Bryce Young and the offense did or didn't do, it's really about Dave Canales' odd messaging. Then, InsideCarolina veteran reporter Greg Barnes joins the show. After providing an update on general manager Michael Lombardi’s paid administrative leave — and how Bill Belichick is calling defensive plays while DC Steve Belichick takes medical leave — Greg breaks down how the first month of the season serves as a high-stakes stress test for Chapel Hill’s youth movement and ongoing QB competition. Greg also digs into the macro picture: as federal bills like the Protect College Sports Act stall, how does shifting TV revenue impact Tar Heel athletics? While UNC remains a crown jewel for SEC or Big Ten realignment, how realistic is it for administrators to actually consider leaving the ACC? Next, friend of the pod Bomani Jones drops in to analyze the rushed sale and astronomical valuation of the Los Angeles Lakers. Bomani breaks down how soaring franchise price tags have stripped the soul out of legacy family ownership, shifting team focus toward corporate profitability over winning. Plus, Bomani and the guys examine the broader sports bubble: if valuations keep soaring on money that doesn't fully exist yet, who is actually left with the liquidity to buy these teams? To wrap up, the guys preview the return of Friday night lights with a marquee local high school matchup between Garner and Millbrook, featuring a stacked list of power-five recruits, before clearing out the OG Sports Phone!

  OG Mailbag: Worst Teams in Triangle History | Mt. Rushmore of Dead NC Amusement Parks | Big Four Back?

  Aug 14, 20261h 14m

  What are the worst teams in Triangle sports history? Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio dive into the listener mailbag live from Woody's City Market in downtown Raleigh, build a Mt. Rushmore of dead NC amusement parks, tease the Big Four coming back, and break down Chapel Hill Belichick cope. OG x BreakingT: https://breakingt.com/collections/the-ovies-giglio-collection?rfsn=7630833.c3bd9f7 OG Secret Stash: http://theog.shop/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OGTriangleMedia OG Membership Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Qpevj6hElebdWc2SSGkWw/join The guys kick off the episode with a daunting task: assembling the definitive list of the worst teams in Triangle sports history. Then, in honor of Raleigh's iconic Adventure Landing on Capital Boulevard officially closing its doors after nearly four decades, Joe and Joe construct the ultimate Mt. Rushmore of Dead Triangle Amusement Parks. The guys swap childhood memories of abandoned water slides, arcade tokens, and forgotten regional attractions that defined growing up in the area. Before switching back to gridiron matters, they add some clarity on the possibility of the Big Four basketball event making a comeback. The OG Sports Phone line lights up over the sheer amount of rationalization and "cope" coming out of Chapel Hill regarding Bill Belichick's football program. Plus, the guys tackle listener prompts on who actually deserves a statue across the Triangle sports landscape, before clearing out the remaining mailbag prompts.
