Show podcast financial capital financial USA.com. This is the Adam gold show shown no sconces here is the program actually before the Mets and the Braves started yesterday's was when Jacob McGraw was warming up. That's right and I just think this would get me fired up to Mets are playing the Skynyrd's underrated car.

Okay, they might be going all of their great songs.

I'm not sure this is in their best.

I would not disagree like I'm a gimme three steps guy I know what song is it you want to write or sweet home Alabama in the studio version of Swiss freedom Alabama when they say turn it up right. It's not a lyric. We all agree that the them, saying, turn it up is not a lyric in the song so I'm ocean nannies in Myrtle Beach urban Myrtle Beach. Unfortunately she's not you. You but ocean. Oh my God longer knows what a legendary spot ocean nannies is in Myrtle Beach not not North Myrtle. It's an Myrtle proper, but in the northern fringes of Myrtle like it's in the basement basically of cheesy motel hotel thing is a holiday in right on the water, but it is a legendary spot. I spent well guess anyway so were there and there is that the some local band is playing in these two things happen. To tell you the more pertinent story first one that route a relates the Skynyrd so there all the do is cover songs so they play sweet home Alabama and the guitar riff starts and then he goes.

Turn it up and I'm like so become synonymous, though that's the thing right next to songs. I kid you not.

The next two songs were sold man right which I think was like Sam and Dave are so right blues Brothers song out like no other songs. John Aykroyd did not write any of the song they performed them very well. They did right and in some cases, I'm okay with you if you think the blues Brothers version is better than the original is an argument for settlement.

That's the song they played and then the next song they did. Jack and Diane and the their lead singer guy actually saying he's got his hands between his knees, and I thought no heel really doesn't happen in a span of about 15 minutes and ocean nannies.

That's why you should always go go and buy a T-shirt to grade 7. Patient sponsor bowl game. There is nothing quite like the convergence of pasty white golfers and bikers. There is nothing that compares to that convergence is a great way to start the program.

Talk about the fact that Jacob drawn look like the greatest picture that ever was created by thought he was yesterday.

My gosh was he good. I got things maggot things they got me to buy Peacock this weekend whose day the premier league okay NBC NBC got me to pay five bucks a month for Peacock so I can watch the premier link.

There was like two matches that were available on USA Fridays are simple Crystal Palace match and then Saturdays last match of the day, which was an absolute snooze fest Chelsea winning at Everton by by one nil count was just what terrible boring match that was thank you for nothing. For both sides.

I have issues with Peacock in their sports, but well I will get to that later but soon completely and and that's it. It took 11 hours of my weekend work every 11 hours, I was some totally my son hates it. My son hates it. I'm annoying the living hell out of them. It's just that I can't find let's not let your start will get the fresh content friend of mine just entered the program that I've been listening to you way too long when I knew all the government's.

I am told the stories before this is all the time I you see, I told him for you the exact course. Oh my gosh I football American football to clarify position battles can now start week one of the preseason is here Steelers have a three headed monster at quarterback said that as you said earlier today that you had seen the Steelers first depth chart for their preseason match against whoever they're playing somebody friendly.

If you will, but they have the Mason Rudolph the veteran. The wily veteran in his fourth year yeah Kenny Pickett the rookie first round pick and Mitch Stravinsky.

Yes, Mitchell Mitchell know.

I think Mitch Nessa Mitch now okay it depends goes back and forth so he comes over from Buffalo. After spending a year holding a clipboard by Josh Allen who took every step I think for the bills last year. Anyway yeah did look okay in the preseason, do you anticipate being the starter week one. When the Steelers play whoever the Steelers have on match week one Mitch Mitch. Mitch yeah all right it could be, not Mason though secretly rooting for Mace, I'm not.

I'm not. So that's one position battle we have Jacoby reset in Cleveland and Drew lock in Seattle just waiting for Jimmy garrotte below to show up depending on what happens with the lawsuit and the appeal, the NFL's appeal of this six-game suspension headed down is to disarm Watson last week that will determine whether or not Cleveland thinks they they need another quarterback because if you're going to do an entire season without Sean Watson, which is a possibility, then you can have Josh Rosen backing up Jacoby percent and think you're a playoff team.

Now I think Jacoby reset is a a very good backup quarterback. He's a guy that can get you out of a few games. He might even be able to win you a couple here and there but you gotta be heads and shoulders better than the rest of the league of you to make the playoffs, or at least do anything better than be the last team in the seven seed and I think Cleveland probably got a roster that thinks higher than that. So I wouldn't be surprised if disarm. Watson is gone for the year. If they go out and try to get Jimmy garrotte below. If you are Seattle and you fancy yourself a playoff team would Drew lock it.

It didn't happen. Russell Wilson, so I would Drew lock Gino Smith door Gino Smith Gino Smith is still there, God, let's perseverance man. That's why say the best job in sports backup quarterback – is no better job no better job and be the backup quarterback picture bisque is much Stravinsky making this your 10 million. I believe some of bless his heart, man, bless his heart. Meanwhile, the Carolina Panthers are in no hurry at all. Matt rule doesn't have a plan sort of. I'm not sure I don't see us making any major decisions at any position on certain times in one correct position but anything even left acolytes left we get from the patriots we got in the pages week is out.

Like true litmus test for us they where we really don't want to guess another team practicing dental really show us where guys are so continuous with the reps and will make makes evaluations off of today's tape placing evaluations asked after training camp in Wofford ends on Wednesday and then probably after the game and in the patriots real quick before we get the opinions of a couple from ESPN were going against another team that is true this week against the commandos in Washington or the suburbs of Washington and were practicing all things that do happen during the course of the preseason. I appreciate Matt rule recognizing that field Yates from ESPN on the Panthers under center trade for Baker Mayfield late in the off-season like the Panthers that it certainly suggests to me that this would end up being Baker Mayfield's job I think is talent little better to sand Arnold's overall and we saw what happened last year after a red-hot start for sand Arnold's things cratered quickly. Your letter needs to win and I think Baker given their best shot this season. Hard to argue with, especially the beginning of that if you made the trade. You didn't make the trade really for Baker to be the backup to Sam think we all figured that out its money. Look I get not handing it to him on board with that. But I'll I will be stunned and will be an indictment of Baker Mayfield if he is not the starting quarterback over sand Arnold's Ryan Clark I think makes this a little bit more about the guy making the decisions rather than the quarterbacks you mean when you look at Matt rule and in whom he's been good always guy was high on the Tyra he was a guy who it turned around university programs, you know, not necessarily just seems well like he pushed the right buttons since he's been with the Carolina Panthers also think that you can set a date to truly know publicly what the season is upon us. You have to be ready to name a starter but I feel like you have to washed away practice flows understand you know which guy has the hot hand which guys being the most consistent and when you feel that one of those players have separated themselves. I believe that you make the decision. No sooner or no later no problem with all of that, but again the beginning of it is I think the most important part of me can't make a decision until one player's tells you one way or the other and I would ask. I would expect not put bent out of shape that they had made a decision that doesn't bother me one bit and I'll be surprised if Baker Mayfield doesn't separate himself not, please light years better than Sam Donald. He's not but his presence is very different and I think he's a better quarterback so I'll be surprised.

Baker Mayfield doesn't separate himself but he's gotta do that I will make this argument to about I'm not sure that the most important position battle isn't left tackle anyway so any men. Matt rule alluded to that in the first clip that quarterback or left tackle Brady Christiansen or if you can't and if it's close. I think you have to go the quantum and slide Christiansen the left guard. I although I guess because I've met. I've heard it mentioned they could start a left guard during the draft lead up a lot of people thought quality was good. A profile guard. It would be the first time that happened to to somebody was thought to be a left tackle or tackle prospect to ultimately end up guard but I'm just saying I think they be best served if the quanta was at left tackle and Brady Christiansen slid inside the guard but will see that to me is this having more important than the quarterback since I don't think either of them are awesome that's important studio in my man, Coach Pete the road 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 lectures. I like graphs I don't like just buzzwords 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 money is in the red cat again. 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 any time stuck on anything green. If you safe growth but also gives lifetime income as we get closer to retirement.

We need some green accounts with greens only call it Baghdad result was important appraisal support for you to next and people out of the thousand dollar value: ticket put together for you 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 in court in the NFL. Roger Caddell appealed the six-game suspension for DeShawn Watson late last week clear that the league was hoping that Sue Robinson would take their suggestion to suspend Watson for the entire season was clear they wanted Sue Robinson retired District Court judge Sue L. Robinson.

They wanted her. Essentially to just do what they had a valid failed to do over the last two decades, and that is not disrespect women. They asked even begged Sue Robinson to do that for them, but in more close examinations of the response of Sue's decision. So can I call up a retired judge spire first name yes Susie Susie's decision so disrespectful iPod.

It was the league itself. The term Watson sexual assault nonviolent, so she just agreed with the league say there's no such thing as a nonviolent sexual assault because all sexual assaults are termed violent, but I will agree that there are different levels of violence but they're all vile is all sexual violence and to even turn it nonviolent is kind of offensive kind of it is offense so shame on the NFL, but what Robinson did in her decision was basically do go above and beyond what the NFL has done in similar situations. This is different than battery like assault and battery in a domestic situation. So what Kareem Hunt got eight games or 10 games or whatever it is. Eight right so so we had situations like that, but that's not the way this was deemed by both parties. I think what the NFL was looking for in the case of Watson was that there were 24 civil cases.

At the time, unsettled 24. By the time they got to Sue Robinson so that been settled, but there were 24 separate cases and if you believe what Jenny Francis wrote in the New York Times was that they were as many as 60 different massage therapists in what a little bit more than was 17 months sixth. Basically it was like one week a different massage therapist a week and you know that there were more she get all of them so I turned DeShawn Watson, a serial creek and that is the kindest thing you can say about but Sue Robinson took the NFL's inaction towards all other cases that involve sexual assaults and she basically told the league. You do the heavy lifting. I'm not doing it for you. Even if even if that was not intentional.

Now Roger Caddell and the NFL have appealed the six-game suspension. Caddell was within his rights to do it on his own. He could've appealed and make the decision on his own. That would've been interesting. I would've liked to have seen Roger argue to Roger Gautama great SNL skit Roger like head here and then little Roger on one shoulder and then little Roger on the other shoulder.

Sort of like you member the animal housing. Yes, they don't. Same thing, just look in the mirror. The mirror saying one thing together that I can likely animal housing.

Yeah there's multiple ways you so tissue paper everywhere. So sorry about, but good Dell went to another third-party they went again to another independent. I am using a quote but I don't know. It might be legitimately independent to get a stiffer penalty will see how it works out. There is no second appeal. So this is it. The decision of the judge's final. My only question is if the verdict comes back and he is suspended for the year. I'd be stunned if we didn't end up in federal court. Yeah so I don't know what how long that would take and I don't know if DeShawn Watson would be allowed to play in the interim, but I think we will end up in federal court. If the suspension is really superlong will will talk to talk about this a little bit more with Will Brinson coming up the bottom of the hour. All right. June 19, 2006, but it all started May 6, 1997 the announcement that the Hartford whalers were coming to North Carolina transition of heartbreak of figuring it out on the fly.

Caseworker look at the 25th anniversary of the presented by the Carolina listen now find now to the best thing I saw all weekend long greatest music I have ever heard you better be good if they're playing trumpet when you're coming in is he Mr. and Mrs. Netflix at some point.

Second starts, Diaz was pretty nasty to Mike Goss.

Strike three strikeouts and that was it like to mess with second start since returning from various arm and shoulder injuries that get Jacob to ground out for more than a year. His last start before I guess last week beginning last Tuesday. I think it was July 7 of last summer.

It was his last start before the All-Star break and then remember he didn't pitch in the All-Star game he was going to start the All-Star game.

He didn't pitch in the All-Star game held amount and it never fits again. He just said he had like forearm tightness in the elbow sprain.

Some people thought that it might be another Tommy Johnny had Tommy John before he ever pitched in the big leagues. Anyway, so the grommet is is been out basically 17 months and through five innings.

He was perfect through 5 2/3 he was perfect with a dozen strikeouts before a two-out walk and a Dansby Swanson two run home run sent his uniform to the showers, but he was dominant, it was his first start at Citi Field in more than a year there was a little bit emotional innovation took a second took it all and will try to focus on. Try to take your business like a said before in spring I felt good and I was just kind of talked about an hour. If vendor that I hadn't known throughout this whole time I considered the process is very slow and I was trying not so good. The whole time so I think I was able to take a step back and kind of look at worlds out mechanically and maybe some things that might've led to the injury that I had so took the time tried to fix a couple things in and try to put myself in a better position to stay healthy.

So that those main thing. Focus on that and trying to be snowed in and get back to where it used to be his mechanics are fine. I just like I'm an untrained eye, but 102 with a fastball and 94 with a wipeout slider easy yeah I think his mechanics are fine. I don't know what to do with that.

I really don't. I if your fear in opposing hitter you just got a guess you got a hat hope that he misses a spot really nothing nothing you can do when a guy throwing 100 and then a slider at 93. It just he's devastating and he throw strike after strike after strike after strike just been to watch him the last couple years. This is better than when he won the Cy Young's. He has been better than he when he won the Cy Young awards been tremendous and if the Mets have a healthy matchers are unhealthy Jacob ground in the postseason. I mean it's going to be a problem. I don't think they're perfect and like I'm not the I'm not the Mets fan the thinks oh my gosh they have. They have solved ColdFusion down there.

I am there some holes in the lineup and I think in the middle of their bullpen, they can be had man they have the deepest starting rotation in baseball and two of the best at the top just absolutely amazing. They wanted 5245 and the Braves now lead Atlanta by seven games in the loss column in the NL East. They won 12 of their last 14 which included a two-game sweep of the Yankees, but you know what you see you don't hear on Twitter embracement Mets got lucky Bob cornets got lucky yeah all they got all the calls and slow exit velocities for it, and none of them were higher than 85 miles an hour. Tell me you have never watch baseball without telling me you have never watch baseball because this is the first time in recorded history that softly ball has bought it so small it happens it happens all the time. How dare like nobody sitting here going, but the Mets just called the ball over five but no they didn't. They got they got lucky at some home runs and they had the two best pitchers in the sea. I'm sorry the three best pitchers in the series is Edwin Diaz. I recognize this guy if your midspan and you are and you have been a midspan since the Mets acquired Robinson Cano and Edwin Diaz from Seattle to trade a few years ago. Yeah this Edwin Diaz does not reckon it is unrecognizable. He's also an like you just wipe the Braves out of so I don't do better in the Dodgers under the bed in the Yankees or the Astros esters might be the best team in baseball and the Mets are in the conversation} razor in the conversation to man Braves fans are so all here for the World Series last year and nowhere have fine okay like servicers I met you getting lectured by Braves fans about what it takes to division general did you win, I don't know a lot, Charlie, Brent, Cesar, this is the atom 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 1/25 anniversary of the moon, presented by the Carolina listen now my thought
