This is that the Adam goals you have financial advisory through capital financial USA.com. This is the Adam Gold show we might be getting another dog moving your dog is important to get the right name for the dog. Our wine writer Earl Grey very very appropriate name varies very gray eddies kind of girlish perfect. I am out of gold is the culture that is got 09 studio Joe will Joe Julio about how to talk I'll talk to editorialize that at all. Joe Julio from the OG about it. I know the fan 3 to 6 Monday through Friday right here in Raleigh is a cold in here that I don't know they got a sweatshirt on the office. Good is it for as long as it does. I have a nautical thing like Micah Capt. of the ship, I am captain when you returned and I have returned my to my ship, I think a sperm are four for not running it ashore while while I was 17th wedding anniversary yesterday. Congratulations is pretty exciting glass of white wine at 1230 in the afternoon Tuesday. Were you asleep by three no headache at about 660 that's yeah that's me.

I love ask you about the Wolfpack last week on the show.

We talked little Tar Heels and wake up to get to those two, but I'm curious about a couple of things regarding NC State. I thought last year as much is anything I know North Carolina was missing some talented skill position players, but I thought as much is anything, it was about their offense of line not being good enough. Where are we with NC State's offense of line icky equality was in the league. We know grant groups. Grant Gipson is back.

Good to have a center back where are we with the Wolfpack on the front dam and they have four guys in starting experience Gipson being the best of that bunch you know, was a big help to get Chandler Zavala baguette extra year of eligibility that he was able to receive a second NC State won a battle with the AA.

How is that not made headlines everywhere.

They were on their last two actually. So I think their offense of on his right to be questions about it. You know, last year, even with a key. There was a tendency to just run behind icky or pull icky and run behind it handy. You don't need to be buddy Ryan or Bill Parcells to figure out all follow their best walker runs to go, something that had some problems with brick building with that use a player like that. Maybe you make up for it with more solid numbers than you will be just one guy right. I think what they've done up front is pretty solid. Zavala getting coming back. It is a big boost there is any question about that. Mickey Mezey, he's gone. Devon Carter has been. I don't want to slander him by seeing more of a tease than anything else.

Carter has made incredibly difficult catches but also dropped some bunnies missing layups what what what are the expectations for him this year.

One thing I would like to see out of NC State's offense in general.

I thought last year that they get to wrote with where they keep players and back no inventory.

Holt was an NC state everybody in the building new Tory Holt was going to get the football right but Michael Kane would put up in the backfield put them in the slot he put them in motion.

He flipped the field you had to work to find Tori hold okay the way that Tim Beck runs his offense. Devon Carter is always in the spot McKay Mezey was always in this outside spot and there was no moving them around they do. He does a better job fair Thomas of that, but I would like to see Devon Carter move around the formation a little bit. Anthony Smith will probably fill in for Rebecca Mezey on the outside spot is deep shot guy, okay cool, but I want to see the guys move around a little bit make the defense work a little bit that was frustration I had last year. The Meka who was outstanding venture, but you will remember, there would go they would build games and long stretches, including that Carolina game were you like oak. I get that you're trying to get the fourth string tied on the ball but cool but how about you go and die with the fastball right when you look at their best games last year America would not 10, 11, 12 catches and you like go.

Oh, that guy who got an drear vote to build last year and really shown in that role. So I think Devon Carter could be that type of player from this year.

I really expect both their Thomas Devon Carter to put up really big numbers this year we have five minutes and before we had dined living and dying with your fastball and why is it that showed up at her T-shirt yet needs to Joe Julio from the fan in Raleigh is here in studio with us. I it's very easy when you see that state has made you could make the argument they might've the three best linebackers in the league. They have great linebackers in Wilson and Thomas Moore. Yes, I just dynamite linebackers you could see the argument that while the steam can be reliant on defense, how good can their defense be to be a challenge to win games with your defense, the old-fashioned way right now.

I understand George just won the national championship in a tight in that type of way but I don't think we've really done an autopsy on Georgia schedule last year and when you go back and you look at the teams were actually competent on their schedule on the offense of side of the ball Alabama when they were healthy absolute history them up and spit them out now. They had all of the town on the defensive side. This is a long way of me saying I don't think you can make your bones doing that anymore. Look no further than Nick Sabin who realized the same revelation and now just trust outscore teams and get stops when the matter I think of NC state can adopt that formula. Get the stops when they matter. I do think Peyton Wilson is a difference maker and when he got hurt in the second game last year, I thought, Isaiah Moore stepped up into that void and was a playmaker, a true playmaker. There's only so many of them in the league. That of course he gets the seventh game and Isaiah Moore tears his ACL and injury. Thomas moves over to Mike. We had plates and sizable and really just shown and I thought Tanner angle on the backs the backend thereto was like between Engel and Thomas they made advised Jones was down one of the few guys was gone by Jones. They made the plays when they matter when they counted the delivery out came the Louisville game. You know those are the games go back a seasonal liberty one, but those are the games to me that stand out you go okay you won this game because of your defense. I don't think you can get a steady diet of those things, but there probably will be a a Syracuse week where everyone else doesn't really care, and I haven't I have a sneaky feeling that Syracuse might be like five and seven. This year they might be Sean Tucker and you know what you can't just run the ball down your throat. I don't think states: you will quit back to your comment about Georgia is your right. They didn't have to be an offense of team last year right. I think they played Arkansas. I don't remember if the game was in Athens.

It doesn't really matter.

They played Arkansas to timer Arkansas was playing really well and they absolutely manhandled them 31 N.) just so I'm an autopsy of their schedule. Fine. But even when we got to the end of the season when they played Alabama. By the time they got to Alabama. The championship game that was a neutered Alabama to record all injuries completely. Note both the two wide receivers that would've been in cleaners right just gone so they didn't really have to do as much, but they were being drunk with talent on the defensive side of the book. "We know how that Clemson's offense is now to write so they play Clemson.

That was their big game out of the conference in the league.

I'm not trying to be disrespectful of this. He states the best they score is the best conference in the league but scored three points on clips. It seems that they played were that good. Certainly not accomplished on the offense of side of the ball until they played Alabama and like I said Alabama healthy choose mops, but let me me ask you this about one more thing about NC state and will ask about our Carolina make real quick is this a final exam for Dave Dorn. Yes, now makes it sound like it's pass or fail. I just haven't come so is it sort of pass and I have this conversation with somebody's work over there today. Actually, we all deserve to live the best version of ourselves.

This is Dave Dorn's opportunity in your tent to live the best version of himself right and I would like for him to do that for his sake right, not for anyone else's but for his this is his chance that men here is the way I look at like I think and I been saying this for a few years. I think NC state has a great football program village and I think it's good wealth. What I'm saying.

I think it's in very good shape right they recruit well they know their I mean I think players get better. They would develop latter-day apples nicely that like we don't hear anything bad about states players like the solid citizens of all the things that you want. You look at your football program is not as a fan, but I think we see all of that and NC state. The one thing they haven't done is they haven't had the big win the breakthrough when in whether it's a nonconference setting or whatnot and they haven't gotten the most out of any season like no seasons have they gotten the most exit the pedicure, they probably didn't help, but if we went back and did an autopsy of the teams that they beat everyone a lot of maybe the whole coastal division other than Carolyn write one that's on estate right hamburger hamburger but so I'm not saying that this is not like pass your great fail, you have to go, but if it's not can happen this year. It will not, it will happen. That's it. That's where that's where I am but I really do.

I like the program a lot. I think they're reliable me don't probably have a couple of dips here and there, talking about the season but being there is next year.

There's a six. This transition is rightfully some point but they all seem to have a good quarterback if done well enough for me it's just been amazing that they are to be like to to the Tar Heels real quick Matt Brown. We are now what two weeks away from the start of the season, less than two weeks away. They play next Saturday right they play weeks 08.

The term week zero.

He said that he's can't believe he's this late in the season. He still doesn't know the quarterback Bobby Mack Brown is the master when it comes to the media and communication is no doubt my mind. He Artie has a plan. There's no doubt about that either. You know, forever at Carolina and Texas. He was okay with playing two guys I've been saying this ever since this question came up. I truly believe will play both trick manger Colby Criswell.

I truly believe right. We saw this when I was at NC State as a student and Mack have that thing running at Carolina he always bite you guys always molester know that he gets to Texas and got major Applewhite Chris Sims and you're going Mack probably need one now at this point, but I was too pretty good going to put a pretty good options about can we weed we were not 100% sure that we have that yet at Carolina oh trick days brother won a national temperature the basketball and his other brother will want to baseball. I think Rick may seem to be just fine. Okay I will will have to wait and see spigot quarterbacks wake without Sam Hartman is what they still have the best coach in the ACC and then I can have a losing record. Did you see ESPN's list of where they put they put they sort of buried Dave Clawson on the list because he's not in the net not coaching a national to fuel or engender sure this is not when the announcement came out about Hartman look to the roster and I hate to tell people that I do this. It seems very shallow, but I looked when I when I'm gambling on women's tennis. I look at the pictures of the women in them right.

I'm not sure this one pays a little bit too much attention to their Instagram sand that was probably not that good so and you believe it or not this system is fairly successful. So when I'm looking at weeks roster and I'm looking at Griffith, some going. This is not Jamie Newman at 642 30 hide now sell now. He's a coach's son. He knows the system is been in for three years give put near you in their in their freshman Dave Clawson probably win 67 games yet. That's probably what I'm think it's going to happen here so I think I think their schedules a little bit tougher on soccer game right. I think their schedules a little bit tougher. There is a nonconference game right. I think their schedules a little bit tougher of them show the way that it is construct their desire yeah but this is not blink liberty, blink, liberty that's finally got some players and got some players now are you talking about on the bed on Clawson. I'm just telling you this is not Jamie Newman hide now you know that in the witness protection program.

This is an 642 30.

This is 511. I think he's 180 or 190.

Whatever the list of those Marissa Kari from Greece that she pay too much attention or Instagram just cannot have to look at the picture. Okay, it usually the ones I… I'll just tell you Anza bore is like my favorite. Okay you can go from there. All right fun she's she played with Serena Caleb. Also, you know conflicts a little bit. No question about that. I will, I would ask you one thing, we come back about this kind of the state of the ACC. You said something a couple weeks ago that I incorporated into a little bit of the font exercise on this program and I want to talk to you about Joe Julia's good eye with us for a few more minutes we back to that next Golden State. It would not be diluted with the capital financial advisory group. We are talking retirement coach. Let's say you have more than $1 million balance in my 401(k) regulations connect actually come back and bite me because in this is the thing that we did we get the Mirage received the Rogers 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) or IRA is yours. We have two people that want to get a hold of the two uncles buckled North Carolina and Uncle Sam both ever get to do some damage to the balance depending on what kind of other income you have loose 40% your belly. So if you're looking at a million-dollar IRA Vegas we were 6000 you. So how do we get around is what you don't get around it could end up in jail.

If you try to do what you can do tax planning to minimize the effect of taxation into the future. The text train 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 it at no cost or obligation.

Put together your very own tax and retirement plan 800-661-7383 or text Adam to 21000 for coach beetroot placemats coming up at 145 today that a couple days have been on this program can have me on the place your bets segment a few. If you ever want to make this a regular stop at 145 I'm actually I'm's been scary successful. I went to I know you mean you do not know. Big props are baseball press.

Couple that I've I've gone through a rough patch everywhere. I like to cricket I was really killing cricket for a while. If the wait too long for cricket and I only been on the one-day internationals. It's just it's an all day, but at least it's not five days.

That's torture is totally just to cut you just pick to be the top batsman and those are easy, whatever you say is you charm your good just been on your fine for India. Julie, of course, from 99 fan Raleigh so couple weeks ago I heard you talking about the ACC in general look at big picture TV but all this. Why is the ACC where they are so far back of the SEC in the Big Ten in dollars.

Also in football quality.

Although arguments could be made that the Big Ten isn't that far ahead of the ACC in football quality even though they are ahead that more better teams more better teams and I actually think over the last few years. They probably have separated even further because too many of the ACC's best teams have not been all that great. What you think the underlying issue is with why the ACC will pay out in the next few years about $0.45-$0.50 on the dollar. What the SEC Big Ten will pay out to their schools.

Yet the composition of the league is the biggest problem and Duke and wake her original members and to can wake also have the biggest voices in the room.

Believe it or not. At the time of expansion and Debbie eyes flat out said to me that when expansion was first loaded the private schools were adamant that they would be adding another private academic type institution they wouldn't just be adding four sports which is preposterous and I enjoy Boston College. I love going up to Boston because I love going to Boston and when they were running hot without Skinner and Hoopes get stuff to you will be good stuff but they're not relevant and they play in us in the city where not only is.

I mean the patriots are even King NFL not even King in Boston so you're so far down the line of list of importance. When you add a school like that that small private school doesn't have a great fan base. The knot is not consistent support on a Saturday to go to games you're adding that to do can wake then you add, you know Syracuse yes has a bigger basketball following but just go watch any football game or turn the TV on, and you'll see it's empty when Clemson is not in the building so they added the wrong schools even pit yet one ACC last year when Pitt plays Akron and in a creature field next year. There is 30,000 people in a 75,000 seat stadium may be fit into me. To me, but it was all over the Pittsburgh market where the Boston market. Okay cool. What you need are. It's called the Big Ten for reason and it numerically, it's incorrect but big is the part is ranked near gigantic state schools with huge numbers of both students and alums and you have people who follow Minnesota football, you have people who follow you know I will available Wisconsin football.

Those aren't even the brand names of the Big Ten. But that's how you sell a network you have one little brother in Northwestern and or the brains of the operation in Northwestern and the rest of the league whatever they get up to now 18 or whatever you know those are the schools like huge state schools with huge alums like there's more Ohio State alums in my neighborhood and in Garner than there are two columns obviously yeah that's just math right right but Duke's you're 28 miles down the road you know Columbus is 12 hours away so when you have these smaller brands and you expanded with the intent of adding small private academic. Like-minded institutions like the myopic decision-making.

There is just it makes me want to pull out my hair but I understand that these presidents make decisions for for reasons that how does it look to everyone else. We can at ECU we can add West Virginia.

Those are dumb schools right not hundred percent agree.

I think the oneness in terms of adding a football brand is probably Westford.

Yes, that would be the Miss which who knows, maybe down the road is rectified when the if the ACC does find the need to time to expand further but with CI think the answer is not Boston College is not Pitt is not Syracuse, who depending on how far back you go are really good adds to the to the conference, but I think the problem is that Miami has not been what Miami was expected to be Florida State.

It's now been a decade ago hasn't quite been a decade, but close. Rather right will get there since Jimbo dragged the Christmas tree out to the curb on December 2. Whatever was that Florida State's stopped being relevant. Virginia Tech isn't and hasn't been even at the end of the Frank Beamer era has not been relevant. I think the football brands of more of the ACC have been more of the problem, for, though, the way the link is to see it's a double whammy right so you have the composition of the league which you have too many small schools and too many trial fan bases and the ones that you're actually counting on to carry the water. Virginia Tech's a great example. Mont Byam is a tough one because they're not there also a primary private school and I've been aplenty Miami games were the place is empty. But think about my that's always been the case with Miami but the football brand has always overcome that truth is is that they only really sold out when it was Florida State.

They didn't sell out for some of the old orange boys are like Butch Davis when I by the time the literati I like. I don't know as much about the Butch Davis air but when I was growing up been the only really sold out the Orange bowl when it was Florida State. Not that they wouldn't get a lot of people, but they were great television property to me.

Miami is like the Dallas Cowboys is that they have probably more fans around the country than they do in Miami. It's a dance on Twitter than they have anywhere else on the planet. That's just a tremendous TV show. So when Miami is usually when Miami is good all the Miami fans come out and Miami just hasn't been at that level and I mean it's reasonable to think that they'll never be at that level again right and you know the answer as to why Florida International didn't exist central guarded and exist. South Florida didn't exist and I was I love to tell the give example of Willis McGahee are two star running back out of Orlando. He never ends up at Miami right and in today's climate. He goes to FIU.

He goes to FAU.

I didn't even mention none of those football programs existed when Miami was running hot and they had. They got so many local players were just like you know what I would wait my turn behind Michael Irvin Hines burning as our other wait my turn and you don't see that anymore, and Miami, so if Miami Florida State Virginia Tech if they return to being again were not going to have Florida State finish in the top for the AP rifle for 15 straight years.

Miami is not gonna win in a average 11 wins a year. What Clemson is been due there talking to do that but if they become top 15 programs by chance crystal ball and I'll money right there a chance if so, but if these things happen, then the perception of ACC football will change and will be well who has Clemson played everywhere but you also, when you think about it, that's strictly as television product is the highest rated games.

It's only Clemson and is involved in all those games to your point if you could just get Miami up a little bit. You can get American Carolina game of Miami pit yes my Virginia Tech game that people will to answer and say all this actually has a meaning to the ACC race, and not just because Clemson's over here dominated world.

How many how many ACC games that don't involve Clemson have been must see television outside of this area yet is a people outside this Arabic arcing to consider state Carolyn Bussey right. But even if you put that one on the list right there haven't been that you have to be a true ACC fan, it would have a Notre Dame it has to be involved in the natural right, but you might state week. The way Carolyn again got a good local to hear Carolina game seven good ESPN ESPN same well this we can put this one on prime time Louisville with Lamar when it was l'Amour. Louisville is another program that could be part of the football pedigree. If they do it right. If they do it right, they were rather they were, they just haven't done haven't had it so state Miami and Charlotte so I have yeah that's what I had to have that I voted for pick Miami. I could see that there just funky to be crazy amazing modest. You should've gone the other. I should've just gone all in with Dave Dorn to be 12 and no 13. I will state schedule.

I really think that it makes him they would find no for now had to close you are sitting there to be close that it because expected a part of next week parts, the whole speaking – Joe Julio you're the man appreciate your time 3 o'clock today. If you're listening in Raleigh and why wouldn't you be Joe and Joe on the OJ but it's halftime wrong. Yeah he crawled in front of the desk. He did you hear something that the graphic was on the screen so he would walk by no oh, that's right, there just scampered out to you think Julio scampers probably not be is no scamper in no none whatsoever. I tell you the media out there in Boston or Foxboro say covering the Panthers up at the patriots with his joint practices or their scampering rather binoculars and check out some of these estoppels that are taking place on I saw. By the way we we we spent the last day or so discussing.

Apparently, like what is real media and what is fan media yeah in Boston, half of the media is fan like legitimate media yeah is fan media, including zonal lack and the other guy per trend per trip. Yeah, this is so lacking per trend today sports of I believe yeah 95 believe sports up there actually live doing their show at patriots training camp during the joint practice hears of them just while describing the rockets, yes, but which by the way, to give you a visual on this.

There just looking through binoculars staring at the practices giving you a play-by-play of what's happening life or patriots training camp where there have been multiple flights over the last couple days and there's been another one but this follows a play on which a patriots player was injured and remains down on the field stroke escalated by the Panthers here after Slater on the second on the second dustup ever. This is number three and in a freaking cultural kickoff trail with the Panthers are kicking off patriots and return mode. Five guys that got got after Slater on the second scrub separated all the players are set them on their way to the next. So you got right in front of the stand is involved much of each team that this point to get these clowns out here on the right up against the stand and fight. This is unreal. I never seen anything like this. Yes, and all the players to go this like cattle that are built on the team over now so the elders another dustup over here like 35 in the Panthers here. I got the point numbers here today in this practice, you had three of them yesterday and another one is now starting point. At some point they're going to have to babysit your servant. One of them. No sister the ball to callable teams together patriots spell check again in the middle here Mr. craft now is in the middle with Bill is seen is right in the middle with Bill as Mr. craft is over here down to one knee as they huddle right next to the member ceiling like this. I can't.

But as the Panthers walked back they didn't walk around like a right against them so they be rubbing up against the clock once ran yesterday on the day she's is Chris is Spike this is great today. I don't even care. Funny nose to 2+ minutes of something that really made my day home just yeah okay and that that is a conversation about will get what is what is supposed to be whatever biased media.

What's late you like Homer I want you. For example, there's like there are a lot of websites and podcasts and shows that are dedicated to a specific team or school, for example, pack pride like that is all about NC State which is fine but that's that's what it's all about insight. Carolina is all about UNC. There's something wrong with that, but that's exactly what it is like to keep those things in mind, but man there. There's there all sorts of steamed up just stared through the binoculars and I'm wondering if the weather had anything to do with it. This is actually JJ Janssen as well as Johnny Hecker before all the practices started today.

Talk about how nice things were okay. John help me. I just weather report today little more of an overcast day here in the New England area, but 65, 66° winds out of the that direction at about 8 to 10 miles an hour maybe missed here. There risk of sunburn is very low so I really care about. John is still asleep just in case you race and traffic wasn't too bad today so make sure you know I got so I got the news the winds out of that direction that calls all this today. No, it was fun fun day so far and Chris McCaffrey was involved in one of those fisticuffs and stuff. It's fine, I'm all for now know you talked earlier with Cannata Edwards about Valley sports plus now is to got to give people a little bit of information regarding this. There's lot of questions about can you watch what can you view while you're on Valley sports plus now this watch fully on September 26 now Valley sports only has streaming rights for NBA and NHL some major league baseball is not included with this yet because they do not of the screening rights have the over the ear of the broadcast rights but they do not have screening rights. As of right now, so keep that in mind if you're looking to get it that you can't just sit there like oh I can watch Brady's games now know that's not the case. So the launch of this fully is to be September 26. He wants a few markets is a soft launch test about.

For example, Kansas City, Wisconsin, Detroit all 19 of the artisans are allow you watch live local NBA and NHL games, pregame and postgame shows included, as well as regionally produced programming. For example, college football and basketball in high school sports will seek to watch the daily shows like the rally and live on the line powered by bet MGM's like. The bedding show she can watch those on this app. Now there is the question of again. What what do you have access to in terms of where you live. So the restrictions in terms your region are still going to apply. The reason why bring the subs can Cannata Edward said will hate you know it better be kings fan of your Hornets for an order make this work or vice versa. What I know here in Raleigh were were located. We can't watch Hornets games because that is technically five valleys right southeast where is Valley sports South this year Raleigh lease. That's how the spectrum does their channeling with that so I'm not even sure if in Raleigh.

You're to be able to watch Hornets games or fear in the Charlotte area. If you can have your watch and hear.

Here's Mike.

My question is this because in many cases.

For instance, if you were if you had DirecTV or spectrum you might have a second option. Yeah right. So I just wonder if you'll just simply be able to click on Hornets. If you are here in nodes. The central part of North Carolina and on the Charlotte market. I don't know the answer to that all of its troubling for me. The price point troubling because there like for people who have unbundled the reason to get rid of spectrum. The reason to get rid of DirecTV for I would say the overwhelming majority of people is cost. Yeah right like I've literally saved about $100 a month on getting television into my house. Switching from DirecTV to YouTube to save more initially but then YouTube prices went up still making outweigh, but very few people questions. A very few but a lot of people are not just know going to the streaming services.

The YouTube's there also adding a Netflix or ESPN plus or Disney plus or a peacock or something else. So, $20 a month.

You 1999 or if you want to pay for four years, 189 99 to 190 just I just don't. I don't know. I don't know either in here something as well as that if there was a question brought up if you live in a market where work with to Valley sports Regents North Carolina be a good example of that. Will you to pay double the amount. There are additional pricing options that will be made available closer to launch. So if you do want to watch the Hornets if you're in Raleigh or you're in the Charlotte area you want to watch hurricanes yeah Mike pregnant look to pay more and to me it's not my thing. And it's not worth it is my opinion. Honestly, it's not worth enough for somebody that's looking to the final excuse to get rid of spectrum and were DirecTV in order to watch hurricanes okay then this might be the thing for you, but like you said some other these the some other these networks of these other streaming platforms. The prices are increasing in my always thing out gets you on this is how do you reach a casual fan. How do you grow a fan base of people don't know what's out there. How do you reach a casual fan. For example, the Hornets are making a playoff run their hot late in the season people will turn doing the watch gave you can expect to pay 20 bucks a month is to be a cattle finish doing people are going to do that. They're just not receiving the hurricane say it's a late-season playoff push in other try to get in whatever may be your theirs. Have a great season cattle for answer to market to drop 20 bucks to watch the they're just that much rather go to a sports bar that you mentioned Disney. Plus, if you go to the sports bar a lot. It's more than $20 a month potentially but when someone watches one game. That's what I'm likely going to do now. Disney, plus you mentioned earlier is now actually going to have tears so they are to have some pricing input increases that we did see ESPN bring tears yeah they will bring tears, trust me.

ESPN plus is already jumped up to basically 10 bucks a month.

There will be increasing the prices Disney plus is going to have a jump as well there and if two tears of basic tier word 799 a month it's gonna have ads with. There's no option for a yearly subscription, whereas the heavy premium tier that doesn't have any advertising, but it's 1099 a month, or he could pay 109 99 annually. So there's a difference suffer Disney plus there's still the bundle that you get obviously with Hulu ESPN plus so there's some options with that but it's it really is kind of for a consumer to see the stuff that I enjoy. Just all of a sudden just increasing prices for the sake of doing it like everything else is already increasing prices. Why not us is the fact that my food cost more now right or the my rent jump.250 bucks a month. Now you pay mortise to watch television. It's annoying to some one other quick note the MBA this upcoming season is not going to have any games on election day, so all 30 teams are to get Pete on November 7, the night before the midterm elections and hopefully encouraging your user platform hopefully encouraged to get out and exercise the right to vote, so no teams are to play on November 8 that Tuesday good for the NBI has grading and I know they're going to be very creative in terms of getting people at their players getting people out to vote could do your civic duty. I'm very much for that. June 19, 2006, but it all started May 6, 1997 with the announcement that the Hartford whalers were coming to North Carolina transition of heartbreak of figuring it out on the fly became fifth anniversary of the presented by the Carolina listen now, Carolina hurricanes signed their draft picks couple years ago.

Defenseman named Tony Holcomb.

Yes, he is from Finland. The Honda truck three-year entry-level contract not big 510 but offensively gifted right shot defenseman 37 points in each of the last two seasons in the finish league.

It's an excellent league 37 points and 50 some odd games. Each time they is pretty good work for somebody who was in no in between 19 and 21 playing full seasons. The last couple years so good player will see how he develops will spend.

I'm sure the entire season in Chicago unless there is a rash of injuries, but that's where he is likely headed to play with the Chicago wall so that's good. All right, I don't know what's going on last couple days.

Let's add them up sooner. We are so I want my first two champions league band champions league mud from Premier league bets this weekend. Very nice and I had Tottenham waiting outright at Chelsea and of course Chelsea dominated the match and should've won that match outright, which would've made me also a loser that but I if I'm not mistaken you had a draw in that match. Or was that I did you not have any action on that back – I believe that a draw that match that will it it it did up a draw had no business ending up in the but it ended up to two yeah stole points from Chelsea that was his generically bad refereeing but it was also poor playing on the part of Chelsea even though they dominant the match.

I did discuss where we go. I'm going to start things off a major league baseball team. He wants a home or a +551 Soto home or were they playing the rents and I am here in Miami. Okay, that's what the parties I actually had installed the national that change one Soto at Miami at +1 550 that's very good, good at good value. My value is not great today actually have one that is has value. Braves had beaten the match to around in Atlanta to dominating woods.

I think 13 one. The other night. Five. Nothing last night Max earlier tonight for the Mets J.Crew.

The reason for the brace brace that okay +1/3+ Reyna 30+130 strata to go to the English champion Stoke city Middlesboro is the English league champion of the English champion championship. Sorry, my apologies just called you could just call the champion okay longer the champion second tier of English yes stoke city Middlesboro draw +2 point big match for Middlesboro Zach Stefan who has designs on being the top keeper for the US men's national team has not been great. And that's putting it mildly.

At some point Zach. You gotta stop the ball from that's what you pay. To do otherwise they'll use Selena or Matt Turner was in playing it all for arsenal behind Ramsdell. All right, my next I go champions league qualifying the cabbie Haifa McAbee-McAfee, McAbee-+132 beat Chris prevented his visits says something I don't know where they are but I'll take you think the Israeli team to win their whole match Israeli team. Is this close to qualifying.

This is the last round of qualifying we have the main draw coming out in two weeks. Okay I know I can't find them because of that I'm taking Chef Bill United Sunderland. The first call that games can be scored in the first 10 minutes first person 10 minutes +3 tentacles you score the first penmanship fields of big big favorite at home. I guess over Sunderland huge favor and home of her son think the actual the overall that line is that I thought it was just will not there -130 on the money.

Sunderland's +370 whether goals can be scored in the for. I bailed out of the room fast start for Sheffield United not Sheffield Wednesday. They are both in the championship. All right my value pickups in the world Junior hockey championships. Connor Bedard to score the first goal for Canada today at +500 and their match with the Czech Republic actually just checking Czech Republic and its checking so love you be Connor Bedard to score the first goal +500 in that match. So now I am still at +3615 I went through a rough patch and I would about five days without a win. And I won like 4 to 6 over the overage today. Soon I was a good successful Premier league weekend for me, except that yesterday or Monday. Liverpool disappointed.
