    UNC AD Steve Newmark: Belichick’s Future, Hoops Evolution & Positioning For "What's Next" | Manny Diaz, Jake Dickert, Gio Lopez, Jordan Shipp & More From ACC Kickoff

    The final day of ACC Kickoff features new UNC AD Steve Newmark on the future of Tar Heel sports, Manny Diaz on Duke’s championship defense, Jake Dickert's effort to not let last season's surprise 9-win season change who they are, and much more... TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Intro 04:00 - UNC AD Steve Newmark 32:00 - Belichick still isn't "normal" 36:40 - Housekeeping 42:00 - UNC's Jordan Shipp 56:00 - UNC's Melkart Abou-Jaoude 1:06:30 - Duke's Manny Diaz 1:17:00 - Duke's Nate Sheppard 1:25:30 - Wake's Jake Dickert 1:36:00 - Wake's Gio Lopez 1:49:00 - Cal's Tosh Lupoi 2:01:00 - Hey Joe The curtains are coming down on "Talking Season" in the Queen City, but the final day of the 2026 ACC Kickoff provided a little spice for the podcast. Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio lead off with wide-ranging interview welcoming brand-new North Carolina Athletic Director Steve Newmark to the table. Fresh off completing a year-long transition with Bubba Cunningham, Newmark outlines the immense strategic reality of taking over the big chair full-time. He dives into the high-profile expectations greeting Bill Belichick's second year leading Tar Heel football, and details how he's balancing the intense "local politics" of a proud university while thinking outside the box on institutional projects like Carolina North and the dawn of Michael Malone’s men's basketball era. Most importantly, Newmark maps out how he plans to aggressively position the Carolina brand to survive and thrive through the lawless, revenue-sharing future of college athletics. Sticking with the Tar Heels, standout wide receiver Jordan Shipp stops by the microphones to deliver a raw, candid perspective on the locker room culture. Shipp explains how the sting of last season's missed opportunities is actively driving him and his teammates to fundamentally flip the script on the program's narrative. Then, the reigning kings of the conference pull up a chair. Duke head coach Manny Diaz steps to the mic radiating massive "us against the world" energy. Coming off a historic ACC Championship, Diaz clears the air and turns the page on quarterback Darian Mensah's high-profile, late-summer transfer portal jump to Miami. Manny makes it explicitly clear: he loves the fact that the national media is already counting the Blue Devils out, and his roster is primed to shatter expectations yet again. Wake Forest head coach Jake Dickert also crashes radio row to break down his heavy, rapid-fire indoctrination into the unique dynamics of North Carolina's Big Four football landscape during his debut season in Winston-Salem. Dickert discusses how he is maintaining the Demon Deacons' core "built in the dark" mantra following a spectacular 9-win campaign capped off by an authoritative Mayo Bowl victory over SEC competition. His QB, Gio Lopez, follows up with discussing the reset button he hit to land with his old coordinator and getting back to enjoying football after a rough season with UNC. Finally, new California head coach Tosh Lupoi sits down for a fascinating look at the logistical reality of managing a West Coast program adjusting to the permanent, cross-country realities of the ACC.

    ACC Commish Jim Phillips Interview | Dabo's Clemson Longevity | Wes Durham, Roddy Jones, Eric Mac Lain & more

    Day 2 of ACC Kickoff in Charlotte is in the books. Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio sit down with Commissioner Jim Phillips, Clemson's Dabo Swinney, BC's Bill O'Brien, and a massive media roundtable. TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Giglio's smoke alarm troubles 09:00 - ACC's Jim Phillips 26:30 - Housekeeping 33:00 - Wes Durham & Roddy Jones 1:18:00 - Clemson's Dabo Swinney 1:29:00 - Eric Mac Lain & Kelly Gramlich 1:42:00 - BC's Bill O'Brien 1:55:00 - Hey Joe The show opens recounting a disastrous night at their local Airbnb, where a faulty, chirping smoke alarm kept Giglio awake for hours while Ovies slept like a baby — all thanks to a relentless pour of bourbon from the bartender at the legendary Thirsty Beaver. Once the coffee kicks in, the guys welcome ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips straight to the radio row desk. It has officially been five years since Phillips took the helm of the conference, guiding the league through some of the most litigious, turbulent waters in the history of college athletics. Phillips reflects on his half-decade tenure and explains why the ACC is finally experiencing a rare moment of structural calm — or at least as calm as things can possibly be in the modern sports landscape. He also breaks down the evolving mechanics of the expanded College Football Playoff and shares his newfound, genuine fandom for the reigning Stanley Cup champion Carolina Hurricanes. Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney joins the show for an expansive conversation on longevity. As the longest-tenured coach in the ACC, Dabo details how he has maintained his program's culture through the relentless ups and downs of the transfer portal and NIL era to keep the Tigers permanently in the national conversation. The Clemson deep-dive continues as Eric Mac Lain from the ACC Network jumps on the microphones to evaluate the Tigers' true ceiling, while openly admitting why he continues to harbor a major soft spot for Dave Doeren's NC State Wolfpack squad. Finally, the show transforms into an elite broadcast booth roundtable. Longtime colleagues Wes Durham and Roddy Jones crash the table to do what they do best: shoot the breeze and deliver an unfiltered chat about college football.

    Doeren & CJ Bailey On NC State Loyalty | ACC Kickoff Storylines | Jimbo Fisher Convo | 07.15

    Live from ACC Kickoff in Charlotte! Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio are on location with Dave Doeren, CJ Bailey, Jimbo Fisher, ACC Senior VP Michael Strickland, and more... TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - ACC "Talking Season" is here! 10:00 - Top ACC Kickoff storylines 39:00 - Housekeeping 42:00 - Dave Doeren 54:00 - CJ Bailey 1:06:00 - Duke Scott 1:14:00 - Isaiah Shirley 1:25:00 - ACC Football VP Strickland 1:46:00 - Jimbo Fisher 2:04:00 - Canes odds and ends "Talking Season" has officially arrived in the Queen City, and the microphones are hot. Broadcasting from radio row at the 2026 ACC Football Kickoff in Charlotte, Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio lead off by grading ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips' annual opening forum. Facing a relentless barrage of questions regarding the turbulent legal landscape, revenue-sharing, and future expansions, Phillips handled the room with an impressive, seasoned poise that shows just how much he has evolved into the conference's anchor. Then, CBS Sports college football insider Chip Patterson drops by the desk to map out the primary national storylines and dark-horse contenders shaping up ahead of August camp. Next, it’s a full-blown Wolfpack takeover at the radio row table. NC State head coach Dave Doeren swoops by to raid the official OG media bourbon stash before giving an honest assessment of his team. Doeren dives into the immense development of quarterback CJ Bailey as he enters a crucial Year 3 leading the offense, and details how the defensive unit is working to restore the ferocious, turnover-heavy identity that defines his program. Speaking of the signal-caller, CJ Bailey joins the show right after his coach. Bailey pulls back the curtain on his high-profile offseason decision to bypass the open market, stay fiercely loyal to Raleigh, and outlines his active, personal role in hitting the phone lines to recruit elite portal talent to the 919. To cut through the bureaucratic fog, ACC Senior Vice President of Football Michael Strickland pulls up a chair to explain the league's brand-new conference tiebreaker rules to the guys like they're five years old. Strickland breaks down the evolution of the modern bowl landscape and reveals the secret, highly political requests head coaches make when schedules are being drawn up behind closed doors. Plus, former Florida State national champion head coach Jimbo Fisher takes an epic walk down memory lane with Giglio, re-evaluating the historical legacy of the terrifyingly dominant Seminole teams from a decade ago. Finally, the guys look away from the field to check the ice, reacting to the official Carolina Hurricanes 2026-27 schedule drop and find amusement in how owner Tom Dundon stays in the news cycle.

    OG Business: Netflix's Invisible Home Run Derby | MLS Dropped World Cup Ball | Schefter’s ESPN Value

    The baseline strategy for global streaming platforms has officially been rewritten, and it is entirely driven by fear of a single competitor: YouTube. On this edition of OG Business, Joe Ovies and Demetri Ravanos lead off with the bizarre debut of the MLB Home Run Derby exclusively on Netflix. Despite paying a massive premium to enter the live sports ecosystem, Netflix’s presentation felt completely invisible to the casual sports fan. So why is Netflix reversing its historical stance to sprint into live sports, video podcasts, and vertical video interfaces? It is a direct defensive scramble against YouTube’s absolute monopoly on time spent on consumer screens. However, the guys argue the entire pivot is doomed to fail unless Netflix abandons its stubbornness and introduces a completely free, ad-supported tier. OG Membership Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Qpevj6hElebdWc2SSGkWw/join Then, the conversation transitions to the pitch, where Major League Soccer is actively dropping the ball. With the World Cup currently taking over the continent, MLS has completely failed to capitalize on the single greatest domestic soccer moment in modern history due to restrictive streaming walls. From the pitch to the octagon, the guys evaluate Conor McGregor’s latest high-profile UFC rug pull and what it means for Endeavor's long-term pay-per-view metrics. Plus, they audit the sports media ledger to ask the definitive financial question: exactly how much value does a transactional titan like Adam Schefter bring to ESPN's bottom line, and are newsbreakers worth the massive check? Finally, they bring it back home to the Triangle, sorting through the latest broadcast speculation surrounding the reigning Stanley Cup champion Carolina Hurricanes.

    OG Mailbag: Caleb Wilson Star Getting Brighter | Caitlin Clark Culture Forever War | EA Sports Gets Greedy | Nikishin Trade?

    On this special Monday edition of the OG Mailbag, Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio throw open the digital doors to answer your burning questions, but they lead off by getting asking their own question...why are we still having the exact same bad-faith arguments about Caitlin Clark and the WNBA month after month? And why has the league’s leadership completely failed to put the fire out? To parse the noise, USA Today senior women's sports reporter and co-host of The Women's Basketball Podcast Mitch Northam steps up to the microphone. Then, the mailbag transitions back to its usual antics. For instance, EA Sports just walked straight into a wall of its own making after triggered an unprecedented community revolt by locking offline College Football 27 progression modes behind paywalls. Meanwhile, former UNC standout Caleb Wilson is putting on a show during NBA Summer League and it's only solidifying points local fans and this podcast have been making about him since he showed up in Chapel Hill. Plus! World Cup knockout stage conspiracies, more questions about the Carolina Hurricanes, James Bond movies, and some technical questions about sports radio.

    OG Mailbag: Why Dundon's Stanley Cup Engravings Hit Nerves | How To Fix USMNT? | Mt. Rushmore SZN

    The Stanley Cup officially received it's permanent Carolina Hurricanes update, but instead of celebrating the depth of the roster, the hockey world is obsessing over a family tree. On this edition of the OG Mailbag, Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio dive straight into the viral storm swirling around Carolina Hurricanes majority owner Tom Dundon. Then, they transition back to the pitch, addressing a lingering stack of mailbag letters regarding the U.S. Men's National Team's World Cup exit. Even with the team knocked out, the macro takes regarding the systemic failures of American soccer development are still flying hot and heavy. Plus, the guys embrace full summer offseason protocols, working through a hilarious list of listener-submitted Mt. Rushmore prompts before checking the temperature of a deeply amused local fan base on the OG Sports Phone!

    USMNT World Cup Post-Mortem | Soccer Youth Development Fixes? | Panthers Camp Preview | Live From Wilson Warbirds | 07.08

    We are live from the brand-new downtown Wilson Ballpark for a day game! Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio parse the USMNT exit, map out Panthers camp, and tour the Warbirds' new home. TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - We're live to tape in Wilson 04:00 - USMNT takes coming in hot 13:00 - Possible development fixes for soccer 33:00 - Housekeeping 39:00 - Carolina Panthers Camp Preview 1:11:00 - Warbirds GM David Lawrence 1:27:00 - Gordon Miller 1:39:00 - Hey Joe The smell of hot dogs, cold beer, and mid-summer day baseball is in the air. Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio pack up the studio gear and hit the highway, broadcasting live from the spectacular, brand-new downtown Wilson Ballpark as the Single-A Wilson Warbirds treat the 252 crowd to some afternoon minor league action. The guys lead off the show by handling the post-mortem on the U.S. Men's National Team exiting the World Cup. While the reactive national headlines are dripping with standard hot takes, Joe and Joe dive into some institutional issues affecting the sport in this country. Is a Round of 32 ceiling simply as good as it's ever going to get on the global stage? The guys question whether the entire American pay-to-play youth system needs a radical, grass-roots infrastructure overhaul if the country ever wants to develop elite, homegrown difference-makers. Then, the "offseason protocols" get a major jolt as NFL training camps loom just two weeks away. Because the Carolina Panthers are playing in the annual Hall of Fame game, they get a massive head start on the rest of the league. Mike Kaye, NFL Insider for the Charlotte Observer, jumps on the podcast to break down the crucial roster battles and what to actually expect from camp. Finally, we celebrate local baseball evolution as Wilson Warbirds General Manager David Lawrence joins the microphones. David shares the fascinating logistics of moving the franchise away from Zebulon's historic Five County Stadium to plant roots in a cutting-edge, highly walkable $70 million facility right in the heart of downtown Wilson. The guys talk about the massive shift in minor league infrastructure expectations and why this brand-new ballpark hits it completely out of the park for Eastern North Carolina.
