This is that the Adam goals you have financial advisory through capital financial USA.com. This is the Adam Gold show his ear and she is responsible for today's listener poles you decide what we should talk about and we do this every day at 1 o'clock when Javad is not here, which is Wednesdays and let's get right to it. But here's our bullet will go from the bottom up rookie quarterbacks in the NFL and nobody really cares. That's fine. Good. We don't care about either the were just plain friendly strike of friend of ours on the twitter like says I like the fact that you're really leaning in the friendliest and what they don't matter I like it. We keep standing for some stupid reason} season, but the outcomes do not matter. The field of dreams game. I got a little bit of the main goal circumstance. I know you. You want some I'll tell you later wide to favorite parts of what I saw one was great and one was cringe worthy of now it also didn't come out did it no Google talk about that a little bit later. One was also minutes of meeting place and the other was completely unnecessary and it made me uncomfortable. The third one came in second to get to this in the second. Anyway the end of summer to do list now again this is Victoria's with so this is her pole.

So are we talking about stuff that you want to do fun to do stuff that I have to do before summer and pretty much the second one. It's the things that you haven't been able to get to get at Sematech over to say that I've got some like fence repair.

Yet my leg and idem forgets called while doing it when I get anyway so yeah like in the summer to do list. I don't want talk about that. That is, it's going to freak me out right so let's go to the top of the list actually was pretty close. People want to talk about the end of summer to give any painting that needs to be done outside outdoor painting of a Panthers quarterbacks I will talk about this with Luke got Panthers play tomorrow afternoon in Landover, Maryland against the commandos. Washington and forget about the big goofy little college ploy of your depth chart saying one guy or the other guy and just forget about the fact that the outcome of this game doesn't matter if what you winning or losing. Doesn't matter. You're just trying to knock off the rust you maybe try to find out about some players so the whole game of who was either Baker or Salem or the start were not to tell you which one honestly cares for you starting but here's what I don't understand from Matt rule because there's one fewer preseason game.

The and we can really learn anything they didn't in training camp. I would think he would take every opportunity to find out unless your decision is already made, which may be it is. I would think you take every opportunity to find out you quarterbacks to be. Maybe in their mind because we traded for Baker Mayfield. Even though we didn't give up anything and the reason we traded for Baker Mayfield is because we know Sam Donald is that good.

Maybe in their mind. It's a foregone conclusion, but that's not the way there publicly treating it so giving each guy one series doesn't do anything but doesn't tell us a damn thing so I'm not saying you have to play each guy half or even each backorder but give each guy to series. Let's see what they do here and oh it didn't work out. Come to the sideline.

Look at your pictures on the Microsoft surface or whatever you do, scribble some things and they go back on the field like will happen in a real game like maybe we should simulate real games. You would think understand why he keeps like playing poker with the media like Louis quarterback and I can easily get to do and here's well been saying this since the beginning.

If Baker Mayfield is, but I didn't. The day after the trade of a good friend of mine is one of the producers, Indians, ESPN radio actually somebody who used to sit in that office right there where you are. Victoria is now a producer at ESPN radio now actually produces, Keyshawn J Willamette Fred people know Shannon Penn and so Shannon got me on the show use bruising then to talk about Mayfield and they asked me Harry Douglas and somebody else was wrote hosting asked me well is is is Baker going to be the starter I'm like well I hope so baby can't beat out Sam Donald that got me that's a problem for Baker Mayfield and a bigger problem for the Panthers. So my guess is that if it's close Baker will be the starter I'm not not anti-Baker Mayfield not really, necessarily, if I Sam Donald I biggest advantage that the Panthers had with it. Mayfield has over Donald is that he looks the part of the number one quarterback.

He carries himself like a number one quarterback and Donald doesn't. There is more of the I mean I hate the word swagger buddy.

He has a confidence that number one quarterbacks had.

He has a confidence with players much better than he actually is, which sometimes a bit deal that old phrase fake it till you make it. Mayfield thinks it really well.

Now couple years ago. He was very good and the Browns won the division of the beat the Steelers in the playoffs. But let's be honest if we draw anything from a pandemic season were kidding ourselves in any sport the pandemic year has to be thrown out about Sadie but but an asterisk on somebody winning the Super Bowl. That's not the point. All I'm saying is what happened during that season that is in come in no way like any other season so I'm just to toss out and Mayfield was very good.

That year, but I'm going to toss that out because I just don't think it translates Mayfield I think can be good.

I don't think is great. I don't think you'll ever be great.

I don't think he's the answer but for crying out loud, and this is this goes back to Matt rule. I think the reason for doing this is because our experience as a head coach is college and this is where we played the stupid games.

Yes, this is where we mess with the media.

This is where I mean like Matt rule does not have the same problems in urban Meyer head right. Urban Meyer's problems as a college coach trying to be pro coach was the fact that urban Meyer is a college coach was so domineering over players that that's the way he was going to be as a pro and the players have more power then the coach and urban was never to be able to get over that and he was trying to prove something to professional people and that's what people need to understand. I forget the name of the NC state offense of lineman who ended up going to Seattle like in the fourth round of the draft. He played with Philip Rivers and I was talking to him about the predraft process and he said he brought a briefcase to every interview wore a suit and tie and brought a briefcase to every interview we had with the team lasted because it is a business discussion.

For me, and these are professional people. These are not kids walk around not go to class or whatever. As you dealt with in college. Urban Meyer Matt rule doesn't have that personality. He is not going to lord over players but what Matt rule doesn't really have is anything in his coaching background that tells players that he is going to get them better and he also is treating the media like they're not pros, managers do just being honest. At night I think there's part of Matt rule that is really good about these things: studio in my man coach Pete through it with the capital financial advisory group were talking retirement coach. I'm a simple guy but I like colors.

Tell me how I can colorcode money and get ready for retirement. I like colors to watchers autographs.

I don't like just words. What we try to do is we try to break down all those words on your statement. All those numbers into three colors red, green, yellow people amazingly come in and most of the monies in the red cutting that I want that a red means high horsepower potential is high loss potential. You have to do. It's a give-and-take you can want to do that or that yellow means liquid money to get anytime stuck on anything green did you safe growth but also dig a lifetime income as we get closer to retirement. We need some green accounts with greens only call it a dead dead result was important regional support for you to next and people out of the thousand dollar value going to get together for your very own total plans as agreed.

So it's a traffic light. I hope it's green for you 800-661-7383 or text Adam to 21000B through and then we get to this we get to the oars respect him, or if you just be honest, just give me an old yeah like I'm care you start like salesman to start but it doesn't mean anything. We can start this week. Baker will start next week that would be great.

We don't need nor one of them is going to start unless both of them start and I am here for both of them starting that would be galaxy we've always run out of time for things that I have to do before the summer ends. As I think my wife is listening and I don't want to let anybody know you and I had to get it all. That's a paint fence that's reminding them right go down a paintbrush. Speaking of waiting I win every Friday at 115. When we talk to columnist extraordinaire for the news and Observer Luke to talk who joins us by the magic of video. If you're watching on TV.

There's loose. He's right there. Are you are you in a pantry where where are you as a pantry and a lot of different silence. Let's get to the 1 o'clock showdown between the Panthers and the commandos in Landover.

I have a question when you saw this was at 1 o'clock on a Saturday did you think that was cruel and unusual 12 3012 1230 RAZ know it was bothersome was not like about this game. I know I in the end when a couple reasons one I think were going to see Makarov play a lot, and he's been a little very wrong which is fine and he's gonna look like he's never seen a line and we can kind of been the bottom of this idea of no well maybe maybe to get backgrounds and the best thing for Makarov play to learn from a couple of veteran quarterbacks but are there any good or not is beside the point. They prepare rose they prepare like conflict or more years and keep Makarov out every year people talk themselves and the like nine and a 10 78897 and it never works out that way.

I think there's some promising things about this team for the future but I don't think this is the year you want to throw Makarov in the fire if he if he is going to need time is an internship so I think him getting a look at him on Saturday. Whether it's good or bad or whatever. He's inevitably going to look at some time. He was, not a criticism of background, but I just to kind of dissuade yet you disguise her turnkey starting quarterback which is based on three video clips from camp people start talking themselves in the believing that you may feel sand Arnold will see a little bit of each of them with drawing conclusions from that. It's the first preseason game is against Washington.

It is what it is. It's got some guys get some reps in you guys were trying to make the doctor try to make the taxi squadron.

These guys know it never is, even the Roger to go in years past is talked about. Fans want real preseason games. No, they don't.

They just don't want to play a regular season prices for preseason games. Getting it wrong right when we ask it is this question about Matt rule with the Baker Mayfield or sand Arnold as though we admit it matters who starts again that doesn't count. What what you make of just one series for each if were trying I like the claimant all just get a plan for one series each were not really learning anything about them. So why not to series each at least you get a second crack at it. If things don't go well just it would make more sense to me if were trying to figure out who you should start yeah I guess these you criticize that role for a lot of things. I think this is kind of a no lose know when whatever he chooses with these guys game one people like you.

People like me your target the other side. I think I think I defended his plan is reviewed by saying, let these guys get a series under fire it'll sharpen them for the next competition, which is on the practice field real competition" over the Cleveland Browns as millions all before David goes back you know it's it's at this point, all the only other thing that will can do is to write the one from the Panthers out around the parking lot behind his car. Or maybe be the naked guy. So what is the Browns because you know so doesn't matter whether one series or to series user creating the pretense of this competition. I think one series 200 series that is this job because Baker Mayfield was borderline incompetent training camp and one or two series on Saturday is not going to make a difference in that I don't disagree with that all decide I've been saying that Baker's going to start. I think they're just really all this is windowdressing, and by the way, Brewster's millions. I love that movie. Richard Pryor insisted that he could get any team out for three innings right and John Danny was the catcher in Brewster's millions and there's nothing wrong with that look to talk is joining us here on the gold show. I 40 tweeted something out today that I guess he was it a story based on what Greg Sankey had to say about expanding the NCAA basketball tournament. I've always thought whether it's good or not. It doesn't matter everything gets bigger. We will will we probably won't stop in basketball until every team is in any way. So, do you have a problem with expanding the tournament or is it inevitable or maybe the answer to that is yes yeah probably yes oh.

All my contention is one of the things that make he is not a novel point is the idea that school and get a chance to play each other and normally each other play each other know the question is, is a St. Peter's being Kentucky good or bad for CBS and her as good as it is for everybody else.

I think yes probably rather have a final Kansas, North Carolina two Kentucky then Wichita State so the problem is is going to got this thing doesn't matter the power. Five. Six. Whatever you think he's in there. They are going to strip this for parts the same way they strip everything else for parts. The things we love about not a consideration of them. Their goal is to get 14 and 16 Clemson 20 1317 Minnesota and St. Peter's doesn't get back the ending here.

The endgame is to keep it all for themselves and they will sell sell out the magic of madness one shining nickel and doing without.

Because college sports is not about education is concentrated wealth in the hands of the people benefit from it and they will gleefully got the NCAA tournament. The way Alden looks at a newspaper that owns its own real estate and leave it sitting for parts on the side of I think that both things will be true I think will still have the St. Peter's and the loyal lose in the Wichita's and the butlers. Although Butler is now part of the wealth, but I think will still have those schools in I just think will have more schools and I think the first four won't be a first for it'll be a first for maybe in each bracket, and I think will happen.

The creep maybe in smaller increments and maybe one day will have everybody in and we can debate whether or not that's good or bad everybody and now any here's the thing yet when you can win your way. There's no reason to get it, you know, I will stay at 1515. Once again, you see, interment can win for losing Kansas City teams need more access to this practice is what's going to happen is even if they don't eliminate automatic qualifiers like the FA cup St. Peter's just to get to the point where you have to be southern Illinois and UMKC and Gamble and Porter Gulf Coast just right to play a 500 Boston College team got its what they want is there teams the power five teams playing each other because then they get all your state or you are a Wichita State or you are a phrase over the schools and accessing tournament St. Peter's benefited from it.

You are going to have a much longer road to get to square one than you do now. You're never been to see those games maybe one slips but you NBC had three teams just to get the right to play Virginia in the format and end up at CVS and allow it to make a lot of money in the retreat for the great job but it's the same thing as people watch how rivalries basketball the upset you get rid of those things which is college sports industrial complex seems hell-bent on doing your just selling this vanilla product that inferior to professional sports only claim you have people's allegiances is that they might walk in that area, a certain point that is wrong. I was maybe Cassandra here processing the do you know I like just as NASCAR century lost touch with what made NASCAR race chasing raises Phoenix and Kansas City and always places that these ways that all the same and you can't tell them apart and not earlier mentioned money at the end I think is running that we see an easy term. You and I both know the CCC tournament is what it was 50 years ago. Not it's not what it was when all nine fan bases are all eight fan bases.

Depending on your time frame or in the building.

I'm writing together. It was a convention as much of the tournament that brought everybody together all the hate in all the common ground all rivalries you know all the ABC stop all of that brought everybody together and it made you feel like were part of something bigger now easy term. If you are going to three or four separate unless unless you place your unless there's a huge upset somewhere so it's not what it used to be and will it still have the same residence in five years that it does now.

I don't know.

I think it's a great 2022 ACC tournament was now in the same league as some of the tournaments that preceded it as the act wasn't as good tournament and not keeping this from you walk out of the building in Brooklyn you know that these happen and that's just not true in other places, Greensboro, Charlotte, Washington obviously it's just that I worry about, especially if all the same surveys I take services that the players get paid to watch a news everybody but you people really do react to the laundry excuse anyway. Alma mater and that's fine. Not counting on you to a position where Carolina doesn't place a bargain to be is invested in that as they are now using. I find it very hard one more thing before you to talk to the Daryl Hall show during performance of performing arts Center on Tuesday when the news broke that Max patch you ready for his Achilles. He's good to be out for six months mid February about same time when the trade deadline comes around. If I were the hurricanes I would go add another forward because there's a reason they brought Max patch you ready in we can deal with salary-cap implications that down the road, but how do you see this team. It looks like.

According Don Waddell Jake Gardner they are bringing in the training camp with the full intent of having him in their top 6:10 giving him a shot top six. The door than I been watching videos with Sherry and Stephan Nason there watching him, and he's got more metal, and is also do the job. The job for you.

By the way this country. I hate movies with very high reference the field of dreams and what part and one reason only, which is this team did not struggle scoring goals during the regular season against bad teams are supposed to do and you supposed struggle scoring goals teams in the playoffs. You can get to the playoffs about when you eat Max Vetere is April and May. You're going to convert some of these chances finish so I buy this being that getting Max patch ready back in January or February, March, whenever does not hurt you in the big picture is time to get up to speed and when you really need him. He should be okay that this pressure may just find the players.

This pressure on hundred and May complete 3D flyer on the guys got issues, but to hate also.

So I think what it did is remove a lot of the sea hurricanes had. It takes away some of the upside, because if you ready and they just played well as well. Now you're in a position to move the guy you asked that all kinds of things going on in the but it's a lot less likely patch ready until the trade deadline will have to go and a veteran left anyway.

As we talked about. Those guys are a dime a dozen.

That's not that big a deal. Waiver #1 is that role in your opinion, this year anyway because you don't want that Are targeted to you really rebuilt like Steve Austin then let them let it happen because of the training camp and became skating season. Fine. LTR decided on waivers guy for future considerations. If you have any future considerations left and I think you will future considerations left because it really is exactly literally literally so you greater than the pain and anyway he doesn't got a million backup options. I it's it's fine you ready to get her.

They bought out. This is an issue you know so-and-so is a weird twist of fate meeting and that working out and I don't know. I'm not on the list of things that have to worry about that's like 75 now every time Jake Gardner touches the park.

It's he's going to be in slow motion and that sound effect and everybody else is good to be standing still and he's going to be moving in slow motion like he is a blur. I cannot wait. All my gosh she's been a be so fast when we see them finally in September. Love you and I didn't even talk live where he compared talk to you later. Thank you for much of my God like a movie references and that we had a $6 million man I love it.

Fantastic work from the cockpit. We have got NAFTA you're going on about this thing that I was talking about yesterday M&A fan my big fight UNC Saturday to be between Mylan vera and Dominic Cruz. Now this is not a pay-per-view seat actually watch the whole fight, not just the prelims.

If you don't spend 80 back everyone makes late today. This can be 13 fights on this card. I cannot wait between two guys who are absolute scrappers now there is a mosquito.

He does that.

She now is really making a name for himself lately. He's coming out with a three fight winning streak following a big win already in April so he got the momentum going crazy fighting since 2000 and you must be exhausted.

I would assume so. He's already torn his ACL twice each time with the same heart like cruises a fighter but he takes a lot of CTL winning this one and he also take a lot of lot faster and I don't think he's had quite as many surgeries and is not quite old. I say old, probably the same age, but for getting punched in the face. You really don't want to be older than like last time you punch in the face no okay yeah exactly what I mean if I were getting paid millions of dollars to do it might be different, but nor have I ever punched anybody in the prelims start at 4 PM. The main event is at seven now I cannot wait and all two people to follow me on twitter. I will be your favorite with your favorite handouts. Even though I now got to come up with anyone after you left well over 200 IM 269 yesterday that field of dreams game and they actually will hopefully maybe my theory of them having momentum worked for. Remember I told you two things that I took from the scale that I love the uniform red uniforms better than the Cubs become beautiful and clean. There was something I think the Cubs could wear Richard Red's death look like throwback uniforms, but two things that left an impression on me.

One really good and the other really bad okay I give you a really good first okay the Ken Griffey Junior and Ken Griffey Senior coming out of the corn and having a cat two reasons.

One, I saw all of Junior's career. Obviously Griffey was one of the best players ever first ballot Hall of Famer when I was a kid so I grew up my bait formative baseball years were in the 70s when I was a kid.

Even as a Mets fan. My favorite player in baseball was Ken Griffey, Senior leftfielder for the Cincinnati Reds. Griffey could simply do everything. He was such an exciting football player, so it was just cool. Even though he dropped the first ball thrown down by his son. I like that. Now that I honestly wish they hadn't done okay the Harry Carey how you are going to mention that because actually have a little bit of it. If you want to hear.

That was a bridge too far to mention, the hologram looked like. I can even explain what he looked like. Clearly look like Harry Carey but it was it was a like a dead Harry Carey was uncomfortable, so no good don't do that ever again playing.

It was really cool and look as a kid or actually more so as a college student when WGN was on every basic cable channel we use to mean whether we had class or not. Invariably, be back in our apartment, watching a baseball game at 2 o'clock in the afternoon at Wrigley Field and no we saw a lot of Harry Carey singing take me out of the boy so I'm not anti-Harry That we just didn't need to see yeah that was crap he may have been just geared towards the cub fans, but the next thing. Now that I don't know if you knew that they had chili vote out might up throughout the game right and he was trolling people on the first base.

I can't believe I still playing for the rent therefore ever a long time. I get the guess is contract they can trade it.

But right mean affiliate. Otto has deserved to be in a better on a better team along and this is just a snippet of what he sounded like what Wilson contrasts whenever Wilson's here here so so Mary get out very nice in bed contrary is just standing there laughing yes that's tremendous what is going on. We need to mic up more players elaborate television like I really doesn't like the players might yes I know I could but that us others awesome television awesome awesome television now so maybe you don't. You don't errant live. Maybe you have to do is listen to it. Make sure it's okay suitable for offer families, whatever. But I actually think it's really good during the All-Star game when I had my bad. The battery pitcher and catcher for the Yankees for the American League there both Yankees. They had both guys miked up and it was incredible television. Yes it's insightful. I need more of that.

But I understand why players would want it, but they just it's great to even see his dad and the last, and this is click the essay okay so yesterday was the last Superman of 2022, which means yes it was the last soup what it means it's not some stage of the moon before it's a full man said today is a full man heard anything from nurse says teachers law enforcement people get a little crazy people are low because of the werewolf was everywhere.

So be careful out there today exist Friday and it's a full moon sets a full moon Friday full man got 13th triple thing yet they have just just be careful.

If you have some your 5 o'clock beverages while I don't have any of those mold.

It's also I know use I see you have it in the doctors will just mention it. It's the 40th day of ET cell. June 11 was the official wine marbles out in Raleigh.

There like a special feeling of that sound when they do it on June 11 question was fine as a closing note on dual June 11 project. We've all forgotten the birthday night. We've all forgotten birthday at one point so maybe that's my gosh. We forgot that now all you do is get some recent pieces but good gosh what I what what a phenomenal movie alright so you like vera over cruise you said I think he's gonna win there until I don't think I got a decision now. I think he's gonna 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. Figuring it out on the fly became presented by the Carolina listen my yeah knock them out or submit them to barium and she does thing like that.

This is the gold shell 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.

Figuring it out on the fly became presented by the Carolina listen my
