- 0:22Speaker 1: with you rolling through a Tuesday morning radio show. We
- 0:26Speaker 1: get to talk punchable faces in twenty minutes. I can't
- 0:29Speaker 1: wait for that one bow. How about that never occurred
- 0:31Speaker 1: to me. We always talk about Sean Payton's punchable face.
- 0:34Speaker 1: Yesterday I brought up Tyler Hero, whose face literally did
- 0:37Speaker 1: get punched, as another punchable face. Somebody suggested we make
- 0:41Speaker 1: a punchable face Mount Rushmore, Mount punch More, if you
- 0:46Speaker 1: will punch more.
- 0:49Speaker 2: That's what we're doing, babe, in twenty minutes.
- 0:51Speaker 1: And I did not realize how many faces Bone I
- 0:53Speaker 1: find punchable until this exercise.
- 0:55Speaker 3: I heard Choms before we came on today on ESPN
- 0:57Speaker 3: Radio yesterday talking about the eighties from out there, and
- 1:00Speaker 3: he said, well, it seems like these guys had some issues.
- 1:04Speaker 2: Was unsettled in Miami?
- 1:05Speaker 3: You take? So I figured that out when I saw
- 1:08Speaker 3: the headline Tyler Hero punched by man Outamayo.
- 1:10Speaker 2: Sean has been driving.
- 1:11Speaker 3: Me nuts during this whole this whole offseason, Hey Schamp says,
- 1:14Speaker 3: the agent tweets are killing me.
- 1:16Speaker 2: Shamp says, don't worry. Bone.
- 1:18Speaker 1: Lebron is getting close to a destination. Now the Warriors
- 1:22Speaker 1: are back in Draymond's pitching. Are you into this? Lebron
- 1:25Speaker 1: decision seventeen point zero?
- 1:27Speaker 3: Now the report is Warriors in calves and the heat
- 1:30Speaker 3: and sickers around.
- 1:31Speaker 1: I guess this is not chasing. He's not chasing ring though.
- 1:34Speaker 1: To keep that in mind, he's not. Is he a
- 1:36Speaker 1: chasing attention by a chance you think anyway? No, he's
- 1:39Speaker 1: chasing happiness. That's what his camp says.
- 1:41Speaker 2: Bone. All right, let's bring in our next guest.
- 1:43Speaker 1: This man, this, this should be on his Twitter bio
- 1:48Speaker 1: chasing happiness, because that's what this next man does on
- 1:50Speaker 1: a daily basis. He is Adam Gold, ninety nine to
- 1:53Speaker 1: nine fan in Riley, And of course you can listen

- 2:16Speaker 2: train ride in? Is that how you do the Charlotte.
- 2:18Speaker 4: Cheses, Yes, yes, yes, don't drive if you don't have to.
- 2:22Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I kind of like that. I've never
- 2:24Speaker 1: done that the train to Rolly, but like, yeah, you
- 2:27Speaker 1: could just do what you want.
- 2:28Speaker 3: You get you get lunch on the trainers and not
- 2:30Speaker 3: a long enough ride.
- 2:33Speaker 4: No, I mean, I'll probably bring dinner with me. I'll
- 2:37Speaker 4: my train leaves Raleigh at three fifty five. I will
- 2:42Speaker 4: be watching the second half of France Spain nice on
- 2:46Speaker 4: the train down. I'm very excited for that. And then
- 2:51Speaker 4: you know, I'm only doing one day at acc kickoff.
- 2:54Speaker 4: Leave's not good enough for me to stick around for
- 2:56Speaker 4: two more days.
- 2:58Speaker 2: Gody says, get better. I'll give you to day, get
- 3:00Speaker 2: really good. I'll give you all three. Oh my goodness.
- 3:04Speaker 1: Yeah, that's gonna be a banger of a game at
- 3:06Speaker 1: three o'clock today between France and Spain.
- 3:09Speaker 2: What goldie have you been?
- 3:12Speaker 1: And I know we got to get into ACC here bone,
- 3:14Speaker 1: But the first question I'll ask you you love soccer too? Like,
- 3:18Speaker 1: how awesome has it been the way this World Cup
- 3:23Speaker 1: has been. I'm not saying it's been perfect, and certainly
- 3:25Speaker 1: the Belgium game wasn't perfect, but just the success of
- 3:29Speaker 1: the World Cup, the way fans have come here enjoyed America,
- 3:33Speaker 1: the numbers, the ratings, I mean, fifty million plus for
- 3:36Speaker 1: the US game, almost forty six million for England Mexico. Like,
- 3:41Speaker 1: I just love the way. I just love the sport
- 3:43Speaker 1: momentum here this this summer.
- 3:46Speaker 4: First of all, it's been an incredible tournament. I mean,
- 3:48Speaker 4: the soccer has been just off the charts great. We've
- 3:53Speaker 4: had incredible matches, great stories, the all you know, this
- 3:58Speaker 4: is all about on the field stuff Cape Verde taking
- 4:02Speaker 4: Argentina to extra time, what Argentina needed to do to
- 4:06Speaker 4: beat Egypt. That was an incredible game. The scenes from
- 4:12Speaker 4: the Azteca with England that Mexico was amazing. This tournament
- 4:17Speaker 4: has been just beyond anybody's expectation. It has delivered as
- 4:23Speaker 4: a sporting event. Forty eight teams, we all criticized, it
- 4:27Speaker 4: ended up being great. They're gonna end up at sixty
- 4:30Speaker 4: four for the next one, but I think they'll ultimately
- 4:33Speaker 4: go back to forty eight. I think their plan was
- 4:36Speaker 4: to go to sixty four for the I guess what
- 4:40Speaker 4: is at the one hundredth birthday of the World Cup.
- 4:44Speaker 4: But regardless of all of that, this tournament has been great,
- 4:48Speaker 4: but it's also delivered with the scandalous stuff away from
- 4:52Speaker 4: the field, right. I mean, everything that happened to lead
- 4:56Speaker 4: up to USA getting flow Balligan back, the stuff with
- 5:04Speaker 4: Norway England, the fact that nobody trusts FIFA is just
- 5:08Speaker 4: InCred I mean it's been like if you weren't really
- 5:11Speaker 4: into the games, there's been trolling for you too. It
- 5:16Speaker 4: has been absolutely tremendous. I hated the way the US
- 5:19Speaker 4: went out because they kind of got our hopes up
- 5:22Speaker 4: a little bit. But it was as Terry Henri said,
- 5:27Speaker 4: there are levels to international football and the US isn't
- 5:32Speaker 4: ready for that level. No.
- 5:33Speaker 3: Sadly, Adam tom Dundon made the news this week. Bah,
- 5:38Speaker 3: he's got his family's name on the cup. Is that
- 5:41Speaker 3: something you thought was a little odd? Or hey, you've
- 5:44Speaker 3: got the cup? You do what you want and what
- 5:45Speaker 3: do you think about.
- 5:46Speaker 2: The whole thing?
- 5:47Speaker 4: I mean he's the owner. He can put whoever's submit,
- 5:50Speaker 4: whatever names he wants to be on the Stanley Cup.
- 5:53Speaker 4: There are certain people that get on it automatically and
- 5:57Speaker 4: none of those people were left off. They had to
- 5:59Speaker 4: put Hissian for Nick Delaurier to get on the Cup.
- 6:05Speaker 4: And that's fine. They didn't petition for Joel Neistrom, a
- 6:12Speaker 4: defenseman who played thirty eight games, so if you play
- 6:15Speaker 4: forty one, you're automatically on the Cup. Thirty eight, they
- 6:19Speaker 4: didn't petition for him. Interesting, there were some behind the
- 6:24Speaker 4: scenes people that should have been on the Cup that
- 6:27Speaker 4: weren't on the Cup. But there were five Dundon children,
- 6:32Speaker 4: and I believe the poll boy also made the Cups.
- 6:36Speaker 4: And that's unfortunate, but hey, it's his team. He could
- 6:39Speaker 4: do what he wants and he's you know, for the
- 6:42Speaker 4: way I talk about it is that there are two
- 6:44Speaker 4: things here. There is the Tom Dundon, who is the
- 6:47Speaker 4: owner of the Carolina Hurricanes, who has been nothing but
- 6:50Speaker 4: a great owner of the Hurricanes, the way they run
- 6:55Speaker 4: the team, all of that, and then there's the Tom
- 6:57Speaker 4: Dundon away from the hockey that leaves a lot to
- 7:01Speaker 4: be desired, and unfortunately they are rolled up into one person.
- 7:06Speaker 4: So we got all of it. Uh, you gotta gotta
- 7:08Speaker 4: Stanley Cup and a lot of that, you know is
- 7:11Speaker 4: Tom is to Tom Dundon's credit, But you know, there
- 7:15Speaker 4: is uh, there is the human side of it that
- 7:18Speaker 4: I don't think any of.
- 7:19Speaker 1: Us love Yeah, it's definitely weird, and I didn't know
- 7:22Speaker 1: some of the details you just provided, which makes it
- 7:24Speaker 1: even weirder. Adam Gold is with us getting on that
- 7:28Speaker 1: train later today, heading here to cover ACC media days tomorrow.
- 7:32Speaker 1: What what storylines? Like, let's just take maybe you know
- 7:36Speaker 1: your neck of the woods in the in the triangle,
- 7:39Speaker 1: what storylines? And Belichick year two CJ.
- 7:43Speaker 2: CJ.
- 7:44Speaker 1: Bailey back, like, what are your favorite storylines locally for you?
- 7:47Speaker 2: Uh to cover?
- 7:50Speaker 4: Man, I'm uh, the development of CJ. Bailey will be
- 7:54Speaker 4: interesting to watch. I'm gonna talk to Dave Doran tomorrow, uh,
- 7:58Speaker 4: and I'll be very curious. I mean, they had to
- 8:01Speaker 4: do a lot to keep him. CJ. Bailey was gonna
- 8:04Speaker 4: I mean, he could have named his price around the
- 8:06Speaker 4: country with the with the arm talent that he's got
- 8:08Speaker 4: and the athleticism and the size. I mean, he's right
- 8:12Speaker 4: out of Central Casting. So they obviously had to do
- 8:17Speaker 4: a lot to keep him. And in this day and age,
- 8:19Speaker 4: you really have to do a lot to keep him,
- 8:21Speaker 4: because apparently four million bucks wasn't enough to keep Dari
- 8:24Speaker 4: and Mensa at Duke and Miami, by the way, is
- 8:28Speaker 4: also going to be there, so there's a local angle
- 8:30Speaker 4: even with Miami because of Dary and Mensa. So we'll
- 8:33Speaker 4: talk about that a little bit tomorrow. But I you know,
- 8:37Speaker 4: we don't really have a local A North Carolina team
- 8:42Speaker 4: that figures to be any good state. State might be
- 8:47Speaker 4: the best of that group, and I think they'll be
- 8:51Speaker 4: a bowl team. I'm pretty sure they'll be a BOLL team.
- 8:54Speaker 4: I don't think. I'm not sure Carolina will h Duke.
- 8:58Speaker 4: I mean, Duke always seemed to be better than you think,
- 9:02Speaker 4: so uh. And I love Manny Diaz uh and the
- 9:05Speaker 4: way they coach and the way they play. Uh. So
- 9:08Speaker 4: we'll see how they deal with the absence, you know,
- 9:11Speaker 4: the the departure of Darien Mensa and so many other
- 9:14Speaker 4: players that also left either to go to the NFL
- 9:18Speaker 4: or who transferred out, which they hadn't had a problem
- 9:22Speaker 4: with before before this past year.
- 9:24Speaker 2: Uh.
- 9:25Speaker 4: Wake Unfortunately, I don't think Wake wants to play the
- 9:29Speaker 4: the you know, the modern football game. So I've I
- 9:33Speaker 4: have my thoughts. I mean, they might be they might
- 9:36Speaker 4: be overachievers, but I don't know that they're gonna be
- 9:38Speaker 4: all that great. But uh, the the local storyline is,
- 9:44Speaker 4: I guess, will Carolina be any better in year two,
- 9:49Speaker 4: and I think they'll be slightly better on the field,
- 9:52Speaker 4: but that isn't enough. It's gonna have to be a
- 9:56Speaker 4: three year project for Bill Belichick, and we'll see if
- 10:00Speaker 4: he wants to do it for a third year. We'll
- 10:01Speaker 4: see if Carolina wants him to do it for a
- 10:03Speaker 4: third year.
- 10:03Speaker 3: What's this topic you were involved in yesterday about tailgating?
- 10:07Speaker 3: What was going on there? You you got a card
- 10:09Speaker 3: antorial fans man do what was happening their goldiebout Carolina
- 10:13Speaker 3: and State tailgating.
- 10:14Speaker 4: Well, somebody named I'm trying to throne th h r
- 10:20Speaker 4: O n E spud. I've never heard of it. I
- 10:23Speaker 4: don't really care thrown spud. Some Potato put out a
- 10:29Speaker 4: ranking of all Division I schools based on tailgating. Yeah, exactly,
- 10:36Speaker 4: and I don't It's probably a bot, but it didn't matter.
- 10:39Speaker 4: I just thought it sounded funny because it had Carolina
- 10:42Speaker 4: as the as like twenty ninth in the country in
- 10:46Speaker 4: terms of tailgating. It had State at fiftieth, it had
- 10:50Speaker 4: app at thirty thirty three, ECU at thirty four. Forget
- 10:54Speaker 4: where Duke and wacar. But I just thought, well, if
- 10:58Speaker 4: you have Carolina basically twenty spots ahead of state in
- 11:03Speaker 4: terms of tailgating. Like, all right, the list. I don't
- 11:07Speaker 4: have to pay attention to this list, so I just
- 11:09Speaker 4: tweeted it out for everybody else to get have some
- 11:13Speaker 4: fun with. And of course it got some people mad, Hey,
- 11:16Speaker 4: I've I've been to Carolina tailgates. I got a buddy
- 11:19Speaker 4: who actually does a podcast for Inside Carolina, Joey Powell.
- 11:24Speaker 4: They do a great tailgate. But there's like five great
- 11:28Speaker 4: tailgates at UNC because everything else is in a parking garage.
- 11:33Speaker 4: You need open space. There's no open space by Keenan Stadium.
- 11:37Speaker 4: You need open space for a real tailgate. Space got
- 11:40Speaker 4: plenty of it.
- 11:40Speaker 1: City. Do you appeal? Do you challenge? You throw the
- 11:45Speaker 1: challenge flag on Goldie? Or do you accept that that
- 11:47Speaker 1: what he is saying Man's been around a triangle for
- 11:50Speaker 1: a couple of decades plus.
- 11:52Speaker 2: Do you do you accept what he's saying as truth?
- 11:55Speaker 5: Yeah, our tailgateing environment is a lot to be desired.
- 11:58Speaker 5: Us in Virginia we win the library tailgate off. That's
- 12:02Speaker 5: where most of the tailgates are a by the libraries
- 12:04Speaker 5: on campus.
- 12:05Speaker 3: Not what you want, like Goldie, did you see the
- 12:08Speaker 3: other wists that your guy thrown spots put together here. No,
- 12:13Speaker 3: the best cafes near each FBS school for coffee. Also
- 12:18Speaker 3: the best ice cream shops for each FBS school near
- 12:21Speaker 3: the camps.
- 12:24Speaker 4: I like those. I wanted.
- 12:26Speaker 1: I need to see the cafe list at Penn State
- 12:28Speaker 1: Creamery better be up there near number one bone.
- 12:32Speaker 3: It's just each school is the one that's closest to
- 12:34Speaker 3: each school, you know what I mean. So it's not
- 12:36Speaker 3: a list of like the best. It's just saying like
- 12:38Speaker 3: and douke like for duke, like which one is the
- 12:40Speaker 3: best one near there?
- 12:42Speaker 2: So it's not a rank. No, it's by each school standing.
- 12:48Speaker 4: Literally, it's like mileage in Colombia.
- 12:52Speaker 1: It's called cool beans near the stadium. You go there,
- 12:55Speaker 1: you go go. I like the way Goldie talked tomato
- 12:58Speaker 1: or tomato. I tell about potato smack to this guy
- 13:01Speaker 1: because he's got spot.
- 13:02Speaker 2: In the day.
- 13:03Speaker 4: Yeah. Oh, I was thinking his brain was match.
- 13:09Speaker 2: Exactly.
- 13:10Speaker 4: I actually had an aug grotten joke in the tweet,
- 13:14Speaker 4: and then I pulled it out because I just thought
- 13:16Speaker 4: that was a bridge too far.
- 13:18Speaker 2: You gotta standards, Yes, yes you do, Goldie.
- 13:22Speaker 1: You are a man of standards, my friend, great performance today.
