Have financial capital financial.com. This is the gold show we have talked with Dave morning Duke radio network man who invented the cold tub chronicles and he joins us on the Adam goal. Joe right now will just go talk to. Talk about a bunch of other things. First things first. Mr. Harding, it has been too long, but I have a question for you because I saw online somebody doing a cold tub chronicles that appeared to not have Dave Harding Junior is a part of it. Did you license that out what happened. I did get permission perform. Glad you always give me the respect that I'm doing creating a cold tub chronicles Kevin Hart as friends come along and doing his own thing what it will. Other schools have dabbled, which is okay imitation on the highest form of flattery is Duca the new creative team back that Mike Elko has hired and brought on board wanted to revitalize that and it did not involve me getting the cold of which I was upset about until I remembered what it felt like. And they did from the little fun. I don't get a chance to fully watch to be had. Be it the player interview him well yes cut the video together as it was creative so you know what all let the kids have thereupon and I'll still be able to bask in my glory. Would you whenever you have me on the air.

So this is great. All works out. It's a it's a great idea. I just wish you had monetized it. Or maybe, maybe you did and I don't. I'm not aware isolate me element you mentioned the new head coach Mike Elko for somebody who played for David cut Cliff and then observed what David cut Cliff was doing or maybe in some cases not doing as the head coach, which I guess is why Mike Elko is the new head coach. What is the transition been like how different will they be over the last few versions of the football.

Yeah, I think the transition has been handled beautifully. I think coach Elko. First of all, has taken a lot of time been a good amount of effort and getting to know the former players and really trying to get them plugged in so you get a unique tide of the program doing radio bill being around but he's brought in my former teammates guy that played well before I sent an that lifeline and that the connection between that group and the current players in the coaching staff is better than it's ever been. You know I've been a former player and that helps with people feeling included. It helps with the energy around a big part of several great networking events where they bring in people that are experts in a specific field that played football at Duke to give advice to the current players in open up different offers opportunities potentially for internships and conversation down the road so I think probably a relationship building perspective which a lot of this business is about that and people overlook it. Coach Elko done a fantastic job that when a different feeling around the yokel call center where their locker room and offices are a lot more people on the staff they've had to subdivide offices in get creative with finding place. Without these folks, but there's clearly been a big and persistent and getting more occurring folks spend more creative people in the weight room has a bunch of folks are.

There's a staff that have been built. That is certainly bigger than what David cut Cliff had and I think that bodes well for the product that you see on the field more support staff equals more support for the players in the low more eyes on everybody.

So I think while this is certainly going to be a process and in creating the program that Mike Elko wants to have your he's got some personnel challenges, not you. The depth I think that he would want to have that often happens when you take over. Now the transfer for the way that it is is just a that's a common issue that a new coach will face but out side of back and controlling the controllable good think you got a fantastic job since things of the transfer portal for a place like Duke could end up being a good thing because especially, there will be opportunities to play especially for older players to maybe have some pro aspirations but also our interested in the graduate part of what do could offer the grad school part of you talk about former players Dave Harding and your former player. The whole thing with David cut Cliff really began when former players sort of banded together and explain what their vision was for Duke football so because there is a local fan base for the blue Devils and something that they've that Kukla fought for several years, even when you guys were really good. He thought the lack of the local fan base. How can current talk and former players really help Mike Elko out. I've been by one coming back to campus. On game days, then under been quite a bit of progress in trying to incentivize that with different ticket packages are tailgate them either. People want to come back at least people like me want to common enjoy free food and dress like I will travel.

I travel to remote portions of Maine this past weekend for a wedding for free food and fragrant. It was a black primarily because of that and so I think coach Elko understand you gotta offer a little bit of company can offer an opportunity for community and in building that community having four players come and you get more support obviously donations increase all of that plays into what the game day atmosphere and environment is like and they do a great job. Also would trying to shuffle around the tailgating scene pregame here consolidating it because before. Right across campus and discard fairly large campus so they're trying to bring it under one little area where people can see one another engage one another and build some of that energy but you're right. I remember it will 110 games my senior herein that the fans for the big games showed up but it's not that theme traditional and quite frankly, a lot of our local schools struggle with that but having people show up time and time again like you might see in some other conferences are locales elsewhere that it was me was almost opponent dependent means great crowds when central Play-Doh in Carolina or state showed up for Virginia Tech. Certainly Notre Dame, but it was a little bit of a struggle otherwise and you guys were good and deserved like full buildings and Wallace Wade in that big a building know you should have been able to draw what weight like awake atmosphere is really good and like I thought Duke football deserved that kind of an atmosphere.

David cut Cliff deserved it, but it was hard to sustain arts of this team golden studio in my mental speed to capital financial advisory group. We are talking retirement coach. Let's say you have more than $1 million balance in my 401(k) revelations that determine how connect actually come back and bite me because in this is a thing that we did we get to Marrakesh receiving Rogers a friend of the desert before you see what's what. Her head was not there when your financial garage is thinking that that total balance in your 401(k) diary is yours.

We have two people to want to get a hold of the two uncles buckled north Carolina and Uncle Sam write both of them to do some damage to the balance depending on what kind of other income you have lose 40% of your belly with looking at a million-dollar IRA that is we were 6000 you. So how do we get around as we don't get around it could end up in jail to try to do what you can do tax planning to minimize the effect of taxation into the future. The texturing is coming out and we need to make sure to minimize the effect of the derailment of a financial accountant for the next 10 people will do the no-cost relegation put together your very own tax and retirement plan 800-661-7383 or text Adam to 21000B through what are your expectations for this team and I know they opened with Temple. What are your expectations for this group of little dry. I expect them to come out with a little more fundamental football focus and reduce the turnover issues that we talk ad nauseam on the general about in years past.

Also scoring in the red zone deserved those big God's word that analyst football people throw out that kind of get taken for granted when your team is not doing you realize how well it is vastly important and it's really difficult sometimes to rectify some of those things those issues that plague folks so I think this year, the expectation is to see a lot of fight and attitude in this team, one with a chip on their shoulder, realizing, maybe they have not represented themselves the way that they could have and/or should have the past several years and a lot of the talent that is on board and then beyond that playing the fundamental football game and focusing it did not turn oversimplify it, but blocking and tackling being as physical as you possibly can and sustaining drive scoring drives need to get back into what what is normal in Durham so I I truly do ask back to see that. I think when we look at the trajectory of what coach Elko has on his plate. Over the next several years. This year is the best opportunity to get that started. Just because the sum of the nonconference opponent.

The weight of the conference opponents also shake out. It gets much more difficult now as the coastal and Atlantic divisions go away and you get a new mix of and of rotating folks. Then that's going to be tough on do they're going to see the likes of into state more often you all the different schools rotating and more is going to bake make it more challenging to create momentum and to sustain it this year with good not to say that Temple cannot Commandant and beat your base certainly are capable of it. They got some very good talent that ready to get going as well, but with some of the other group of five opponents. Some of the nonconference schedule playing Northwestern Kansas. I think you've got an opportunity here start a solid foundation and before I think a ballgame is within the realm of realistic possibility is just about how they do a nonconference first and foremost, will I live. Hopefully there there is a bowl in there in their future.

In year one. I like my ghetto. I like Michael Gola. I hope I hope it works out well. I know you and I both said very warm feelings for Coach Cutlass. Sorry that the last couple years. Warren is good but ill. If everything runs its course. So, no doubt, you know, I was just talking to Dennis report came on here, but it's like I'm so sick of talking preseason football right to expect. Like the player and part of the reason I get just so fed up with what what what you see, I never even had a good sense of what how good we were going to be when we want the coastal division my senior year I had no clue. I knew we put in a lot of work right.

I knew it meant a lot to everybody in week we had a good group returning, but after you read go weeks and preseason working on stopping scrimmages. Your role out there for the first kickoff and everybody is to look at each other like will see how this thing turns out and I think there are more variables that play obviously with this given the transition that your referencing what would David cut Cliff moving on Mike Elko stepping hand but at the end of the day. I think this group of players and coaches are just excited that get started and then you cannot make adjustments and figure out what your personality is going to be as you proceed, but having been done, I practice seeing what they're working on their deadly ocular right start but, like bipolar breath and see how this thing go you guys lost your first two conference games that year and then ripped off six straight wins and I thought were very competitive with Florida State in Charlotte at the ACC championship game probably gave Florida State as much as anybody gave them that year. I know the final score doesn't look like it but I was I was there but I was there for that game and I thought you guys are borderline dirty and that game you yeah you that my nickname was dirty day, you gotta find a way. I think that's what when the team I do not dirty might not be the word but you gotta have a little bit after and maybe that nasty through a mean streak right at her waistband at work you watching alignment finish people down the field and you know gang tackling on defense. You is a school where challenging to get certain players and just that the grade limitations in everything but at the end of the day you got a bunch of really smart, talented, but mentally tough players.

I think that's what can the blue Devils apart and I do think that that's been the focus and emphasis during the off-season, Mike Elko, and especially his strengths that have been trying to create that kind of personality could I truly believe in 2013.12 we worked necessarily more talented than Caroline. Our interview state on paper. We found a way to get it done and part of it was that mean streak in him playing with a chip on her shoulder.

Dave Harding appreciate your time.

Did radio plaintiff's take on Temple this weekend, and Friday nights.

Here's the thing in. Dave admits it. Duke was dirty. That year, and I appreciate I appreciate the just kind of come to grips with that and that's all good that that was what I took out of that conversation. I appreciate your time and obviously that's not true.

Duke is incredibly clean team that really well. Can't believe we didn't talk wine. This is the first five Morristown history books. Now let me get Abby back off at all the time, you the man I appreciate on good look at the book you got a Dave Harding was dirty and really work, but that's funny really admit that I'm just kind of causing trouble.

Is there anything else having their trails yes trails forcing Carol's graduates will maintain paths by way stop a Patriots Hall of Fame pitcher is just a shrine for the 2001 through current patriots see give me and Jim Plunkett back in the day, the patriots have always been pretty much mediocre until this iteration right, but Steve Grogan was a very good quarterback mean really good quarterback. They that's a team that got to the Super Bowl never they lost to the 85 Bears a million to less than a million got hammered in the refrigerator. Escorts are so well but Mark Finnigan, Irving Fryer was on the team's right had some good players yet.

Jim Plunkett was a draft I think it was an original patriot man was drafted by the patriots. Any really achieve his fame with the Raiders won two super Bowls with the Raiders yeah but it is not a lot of patriot history beyond 2001 shrine for Tom Brady observed holidays and broke yeah and Gronkowski sure there's some like Troy Brown weighing all yeah of course, there has to be pressure Matthew Slater install the team probably has all because you know he's one of our guys Jenny Bruschi actually has himself a nice little newborn. There is no doubt is a Richard Seymour when Richardson Vince will fork he could have a wing yeah well, no question massive individually.

Is there anything to do in Foxboro. Yeah, the patriots swing by the Bass Pro shops is about how to best present you have been the Bass Pro shop is a giant will carry an amusement park in those things really admit that it is down and there's one down Garner's well brothers, there's one I know on the highway between here and Greensboro this past Greensboro. My gosh yeah that's processor amusement parks and self wasn't fun. Interactivity stop by extreme phrase they got the you know the trampolines of dodgeball.
