By the way, yeah, a lot of talk about today my love talk about Rory McElroy's golf shirt which I like knowing some people but I kinda like it. The whole point is people are talking about talking about golf shirt. It doesn't say I like shots to Greg Norman on fee that would be really good if it McElroy was wearing a golf shirt with sharks all over yes that would be great eating and number 20. We got.what does that someplace that has the numbered sandwiches that I have a 21. Myers like yeah I have my phone I don't even understand like the name like random numbers for subs. Yeah, I don't know I just I just Milligan number 68 Georgia they have 68 different selves. I don't know. We should we should call them and find out. Maybe that's the fun of it, though a number exactly 74 is much easier to remember. Jacob Slaven, the then a maximum yes one's very forgettable. They were on TV.

You can follow us on the television, Apple, android, Roku fire TV W oriole sportsmen.com 1257. If you are local to the Raleigh and WR LTV five viewing area can watch son spectrum cable 1257 also 34.1 on an antenna again local to Raleigh. We got tons of things to talk about. So let's go game one we got game six we are around one of the U.S. Open. Serena returns to Wimbledon yeah right like I've been meaning to mention this for three days finally had to write it into the open. That's a huge huge deal and we got talk fixtures. Yes, at some point we will start with what really is a dirty word or dirty phrase in Boston game six Red Sox fans will understand why. Game six is a dirty word. All right, Jason Tatum and the Celtics. They will tell us where they are on the championship timeline tonight. Do they have the metal do they have what it takes right now to win a championship or are they still a year and maybe a piece away from the ball will also profession for more and more control room was also fourth quarters have been problem for Jason to problem for Boston apartment game one right game one where it look like the warriors, the runaway and then Boston turned the tables on him in the fourth quarter. Boston is not been good enough. Tatum is not been good enough in the fourth quarters and that's really what got them in this gaming in game five. Again, I keep saying man I just we keep watching these games in Boston. Looks like the better team and it doesn't matter which means that there is something missing but at home tonight. What is Jason Tatum think about home last home game of the season for the VeriFone crow knowing that they're going be riders, giving us that extra boost of energy as they have my whole career will be extremely loud in here is going to find a great atmosphere. There's no question about that. Warriors got by in game five.

Without a Steph Curry performance right. They did not get great Steph Curry but because guys like Andrew Wiggins and Clay Thompson, who has been looking very much like a serviceable clay that helps you win. They were able, by the way, they gave them 47 points combined and they were able to get the warriors through. It is very hard to close out a series of this very good team and we know there and play with a sense of desperation.

So for us to match that or see that is take the most after we've had to give all your I liked and we talked about what they need from Clay Thompson. They don't need Clay to carry them. They just need Clay to be reliable and productive. He doesn't have to go for an enormous number. He had 21 points. He wasn't dominant in game five. He was good week.

They just can't have bad Clay. Now they could have bad Clay win if Steph Curry goes bonkers, but if your boss talk about this a lot later. Cannot Edwards actually to join us in studio today. If all they really need is Clay to be good, right but Boston is going to probably defend exactly as they defended in game five. I wouldn't change anything if our Boston, their defense was not the problem. It was their offense that was the problem and honestly I think it was also Golden State's defense that forced Boston and this is why I said earlier that I'm not sure that Boston might not be a piece away.

I don't think they necessarily need like us up your point guard, but right now it seems like their offense is basically Jason Tatum create force. Yeah. At times Jaelyn Brown to but mostly it's Jason Tatum create and that puts a lot of pressure on Jason Tatum which is why his turnovers are up Golden State's defending him pretty well. They don't have anybody else that is really a creative offense of player. They've got a bunch of guys they can make shots, but right now they are running their offense, essentially through Jason Tatum and they might need some help for Jason Tatum that they can't get from their current roster.

Maybe Dirk might give them a little bit but right now it's all about Jason Tatum and if he's not having a great night like his game, one where he had 13 assists, even though shot poorly take that again will take it again if it if if Tatum is going to be productive in that regard, but right now there's another story.

Rather, there's another conversation I had will have this would not about what this means for Steph Curry.

This might mean for Steph Curry but II hesitate to get into that too much right now simply because I mean I think of you loose and I think that I'm Celtics and when game six tonight and were to have this question again had this conversation again on Friday.

Tomorrow and maybe even on Monday or Tuesday when it's all over right looking to be talking about big picture.

What this means for Steph Curry if the warriors are to win this title will hear from my man Coach Pete through the capital financial advisory group. We are talking retirement.

I coach simple.

When we start tax planning and retirement should start as soon as possible because there's one thing out of Texas are not going away and so the game here is we know the rules. A lot of people want to ignore the rules or act like they don't offer me with them but virus those rules and so we get retirement.

The region start taking some of their money out of your accounts so the secret here is to put a force field around as much as possible. By strategically moving some Romani to Roth IRA were some of the other vehicles that are taxed like a special life insurance policies can borrow against your money there and never have to pay tax on you wanted to build up inside your Space up there a lot of strategies here. One strategy that does not work is ignoring mature and not ignored the next 10 people will do for you your very own tax and retirement plan to help you minimize taxation with retirement 800-661-7383.

All you got is call or you can text Adam to 21000 for Coach Pete. The road all right to the other finals that was a fun hockey game last night. Absolutely brilliant play Stanley Cup finals have given us the best possible series. Yes, I look we all know I am a hurricanes fan. I do the Keynes corner podcast available where you get your podcast will have another episode coming up probably early next week.

We have the two time champs with the best goalie on earth versus what I believe is really the best team in the entire NHL in Colorado.

Tampa versus Colorado campus got all but they're not as good as they were a year ago. Think about that third line that was so good Yanni gourds in Seattle. Blake Coleman's in Calgary Bart Barclay Goudreau was in New York with the with the Rangers, Alex Colborne shockingly enough does not have a playoff goal really can't believe that Alex Clore does not have a playoff goal he hasn't played that well either. So based on what I want from Alex Colborne. I'm not surprised but Alex Colborne is a really good player so they're not getting really there getting no depth scoring in the nick part a couple goals. Brandon Higgins got a couple goals. Mikael surgeon scored another goal last night but basically in the series that Tampa just beat the Rangers in six games. Tampa scored 16 goals in the series.

12 of those goals came from the top line of culture, office, Samco's ungrateful lot. Goudreau's trough and plot did combine on this on the third overtime goal, which was an absolute stroke of brilliance again by McCue Sutra is just amazing but so temp is been a top-heavy offense of team they had not yet brought the full arsenal to the playoffs yet, but there getting by, because they are elite defensively and they have the best goal. With that said, Colorado probably does have the better team, top to bottom.

Other than Darcy Kemper whose okay again. I think Colorado in front of Darcy Kemper is just amazing and that might be enough if they might not need great goaltending winner Stanley Cup. They might not, but they're deeper offensively and that depth showed it over time. When Andre Borkowski, who had the game-winner after scoring just once so far in the playoffs near anything Emily Kaplan on the bed's talking to Andre Borkowski look Borkowski has is one of the few guys with Stanley Cup finals experience. He is one of the few that have Stanley Cup finals experience with it. Did that with Washington here's an interesting factoid if you will. You might've heard it last night but we knew this going in the Burke Koski now has three goals-against Andre basilisk in the playoffs because he scored two goals in game seven.

As Washington beat Tampa to advance to the Stanley Cup finals in 2018.

The one they one and the Burke Koski left Washington in the off-season sign with Colorado is been with the Avenues and now he is another goal. So that's pretty good he's got three goals against the brick wall that is Andre basilisk bashing basilisk for allowing you know he was before. The third goal which he had no chance on a five on three. Like he could've stopped the second goal any sort it did, but it did leak through and then I guess it was Landis Gog kind of pushed it over the goal line rampant of the shot Landis Gog finished play, but that's left. He was fine last night. He wasn't otherworldly. He wasn't being 995 save percentage guy from game sevens past, but he was good last night, like the least of the worries for somebody who was rooting for Tampa.

Maybe you have money on the lightning, the least of your worries is Tampa's goaltending the least of now Tampa needs to get some other players go they need to get a breakpoint came back in the lineup. He skated out of skated on the third line last night. I think it was was the third line. I think he skated on the third line now Tampa's got a lot with coach Rauf and Stanko's.

I think point skated with the skit with Hegel and Nick. Paul wasn't thumbs right or me. My might've been the second line. A big air all over the place, but Tampa still trying to figure out exactly who they are all right. Shall we talk golf that Scott June 19, 2006, but it all started May 6, 1997 the announcement that the Hartford whalers were coming to North Carolina transition of heartbreak. Figuring it out on the fly. The Keynes quarter look at the 25th anniversary of the moon, presented by the Carolina listen now line Scott Michaud from the examiner and global golf close joining us on the gold show. Full disclosure because Rory McElroy is sort of winding down his opening-round we take this few minutes before the show actually began Rory's off to a very good start.

We will give the score because that may change, especially since I just am driving in the rough. So but I want to go back to start really last week the PGA Tour had a better winner at the Canadian open now. They couldn't possibly have asked for a better just to show between Rory and JT and Alan Chan burns very that's exactly what they needed. Last week, but I'm not sure that's enough to save them will see what where the scene goes with a lot of Olympic defections, you better bigger name scope and age of the guys you gone so far and it could make a big difference. You know, the PGA Tour future. I promised people that I'm going to be a live live free event, but you didn't peak my interest year like I anticipate there will be more big names going but I'm not sure that any of those big names unless they are fully exempt into major championships for the next several years will really matter because there aren't that many needle movers on the PGA tour like the one the big one is the got guy one last week. Ship goes needle mover and he's exempt into majors for a while.

Based on his U.S. Open win 2020, but I think they'd survive Bryson's absence. Who else could possibly know go unless were talking about all lot of defections because if You were to leave, I mean Barely place now). it certainly had an opportunity to tell see what I agree and there there there are some other names out there are two llama might not be a needle group or your broker there and I forget the name if he were to go all another huge loss. Your talk and possibly your walking demons and people like that you know who's on the present instructing at this point when you start losing all these guys so the PGA Tour is quaking in its use.

Right at the moment, I think, and they should be with you. I've been like a long game. They're not there not here for years are not here for two years for four years.

They're here for the long haul and I think people need to understand that the world golf rankings will play a big role in how this whole thing plays out.

Looks like it's going to be at least two years unless live aligned themselves with another tour before they get official world golf rankings points, which could damage the walking demons of the world if they were to do something like that or the Zander shop fleas of the world. He was rumored to be a part of the defectors a long time ago because they don't have major championship in no exemptions going forward. At least not locked in annual fall out of the top 50 pretty quickly if you don't earn points over the next year or so, let me, I don't want to I want to go back and sort of quote Brooks To hear. I don't want to throw a black cloud on the U.S. Open so I want to go back and talk about the open end being in a place like Brookline which has is so steeped in history with the USGA, even though it's not a place they have gone very often this is just the fourth, even though it's a founding member. It's only the fourth time they've brought U.S. Open Brookline.

So what is it like being there. I figured rectangular property and golf course and we did talk about. It's everything you want U.S. Open. It's got quirkiness, it's got old school charm. It looks great on TV and you got this.

This is what what it's all about night and I could not be more pleased to get a chance to cover one of these things here because I really think it it deserves to be in the rotation. More often the problem is it's footprint is not bigots like Marian you know it's like LA country club is going to be next year. These are spectacular properties but they're very difficult. All the modern major championship on because they're not all you know they're not big and brawny Church of space around it. You're in the middle of the community, but it's back to work. I mean everybody loves it and it's got wonderful quirkiness to you mentioned, it's not necessarily the golf course is not big in this is a play shorter than most U.S. Open courses not named Pebble Beach. It's is not enough room for the infrastructure around. I know I'd Marian of window just in Roseland is like in a neighboring golf course for the infrastructure are they doing that he well noted good weather got an extra nine holes here a lot of infrastructures on that Primrose nine of which three goals in this composite quartz with a user coming off up so they have they have a little of the room.

They also have two old middle of their main course where there driving ranges that would be the ninth and 10th course normally on their main golf course here so they have a little bit of extra room on like Marian for that kind of stuff but it's still tight.

It's tight and you know, as you know, these major championships are you the infrastructures and Norma's so it's a lot to put on and it's a lot to ask of the local community like this, you never talk about Boston it still tight quarters yeah it will. Everything in Boston is tight quarters you been to Fenway mean there's like this nothing around Fenway it's it's it's it's pushed up against the highway exactly the reason that the big giant wall of the left field can't go any further incredible's got me shot the examiner.

Of course, global golf post joining us here on the gold show. Who else catches your I know we have obviously early and in round one is going to be names up there. The people don't know. Although David Ling there nearly one the players championship about two years ago. I think the tiger wanted he was he was in the mix and use past champion at Memorial. So even though he's not necessarily garden-variety name on the PGA tour.

He does have some history but they're just a bunch of names up there that nobody knows right now but who else is caught your eye. One I'm enjoying right at the moment is stored had met him at her.

Who's trying to be Francis with that your no seals. Gordon subject raised and he was her solo leader there about 10 minutes ago and he still on the leaderboard should have exciting to have a guy who's a capable and are not a guy who will bite him a guy who's got major chairmanship experience to possibly to be a colorful figure here on the weekend against.

I think you still can have your John Rob's you can have more you can have Shane Lowry to be very popular wearing Celtic shirt later today Celtic logo on the back of his shirt that is going on in the day. There's nothing like pandering to the local Boston Irish community, but now you can get the rest of Boston behind you. I just think I think there's a lot of good names were going to show up is not many people are shooting themselves out of it right now. It's a real cluster of people from to wonder to 2/7 nobody's really gonna fall out. So I think you know the cream rises to the top eventually and I think you know I'm surprised Seymour Cowart start because he came in downplaying his chances thing is that your precious baby cuts that you Plays with working right now. But remember last year in front of the open championship. How he said, just try to learn how to play links golf. Then he went over missed the cut at the Scottish open Markel was one of my pics to do well this week. I really like these. I love his game for this type of a golf course exactly that. I've got them in my fantasy goals. I'm hoping I'm hoping that he's dating his his comments are sort of the verbal reaction, like Hideki Massey llama when he starts taking his hands off the club.

You know it's going close. I let me ask you one more question, and the unfortunately solicitors involves lives, what type of help's got me shot or backing. Will the PGA tour receive from the four major championships. Mike Juan very succinctly answer the question. Do you foresee their rules changing for essentially entrance into the U.S. Open in the future which was really a question. Would they ban players for certain reasons and he said yes we all know that the majors just don't like what's going on with live but will they do anything about more accurate you foresee any said he could foresee. May I know I may also part of the world golf rankings, yet board so that that's really the tricky component where they can really help help the PGA tour by denying more ranking points to these guys. Which means, as you said earlier the fall out quickly if you don't have previous exemptions you can't get in. A gust is the wildcard and at the moment. There could be eight or nine former master this week that gets tricky will see what they do. I know they don't like it they would love to be able supported but can you say no to eight or nine past Masters champions all coming and playing in your field that's going to be interesting what we see here but there there part of the possible solution, but the PGA Tour has to do an awful lot more on their own to make this work. They got to keep lorries and ROMs and just in Thomases and workhours of the world in the fold, they start losing too many of those guys will get there in trouble.

The first three guys are not going to essentially backed themselves into the they put themselves in the PGA Tour's corner but very few others have been so publicly supported of the PGA tour. Very few others which means like that. Everybody's got a price. I don't think those first three really do until the PGA Tour is no longer the best place to play Scott. I appreciate your time.

Go.go route for Shane Lowry and his Celtics logo. I will should be a blast by Rory McElroy couple year for three years ago now wore a raptors jersey when he won the Canadian opening 2019 threat was the exit went to a finals game as well warded but he had it with him on the golf course as Rory was shooting 61 to be Brooks Got when the Canadian open in 19 he successfully defended three years later because there was no Canadian open in 2020 and 20, 21, I when we come back probably ROMs to the long birdie putt to close out his round one under Jim and the Rory McElroy is on top of the leaderboard with two holes to play today. 304 ROMs, one under Justin Thomas tees off about an hour those three guys right now they are the needs of the flag bearers like if you were if if this was an Olympic team in the PGA Tour was an Olympic team. Those three guys would combine to carry the flag for an Rory really is carrying the flag to be flanked by ROM and Thomas, and I do I do want to keep live out of the conversation for the next couple of days but it is an inevitable part of talking about the sport now is why it was kind of. I understood what Brooks Was getting at the other day. We don't want to talk about it because it's unfair. The U.S. Open, I would argue that there are other motivations for Brooks But it is unfair to the U.S. Open is it to me. It's the hardest major to win, and it deserves its own conversation, but because of what's going on in sport, it is inevitable that it's going to be overshadowed by what's going on but as big later in the tournament was still the first round. At first half of the first round is to get later in the tournament. It will be entirely about the leaderboard and right now there's a pretty good leaderboard considering who's what names are dotting it. We spoke with folks from sports handles.com about the potential for North Carolina to maybe get mobile sports betting is a sports betting it places not named nut casinos and charity and we talked to Brian Murphy from WR LTV five sports investigative reporter about this couple weeks ago we thought it was a formality and Brian joins us once again on the I'm going to follow him on Twitter at Murph in and see.

As of Monday Brian, we did not know if the House Judiciary Committee here was going to be able to get it on the docket and discuss it and get it moving because the legislative session ends on the 30th do we do you have new reporting on this or the house to the church really was the first of three house committees have to hear this will hold a hearing on Tuesday next Tuesday on Senate Bill 688, which is the main unit of the main sports gambling bill that passed the Senate further. They will also hear what's called a trailer bill basically amendments to Senate Bill 688 which we form of a separate bill. Also hear that bill on Tuesday and that Bill raises the tax rate raises fees, broadens the bill in some ways tightens it in other ways. I'm still going through a preliminary draft of that bill right now but it raises the fee from 500,000 2 million to get one of these lights raises the fee to get a renewal from 100,000 2 million raise the tax rate from 8%. It looks like change the way the tax is calculated but will go to about 14% so lots of lots of changes that will bring more revenue to North Carolina more revenue. Taxpayers are less in the hands of the sports wagering operators, but you big this is the moment we come away for a reported that this trailer bill is coming. It's been held up by language and and getting everyone to sign off still not hundred percent done is what I'm being told. But what I have the preliminary draft and it should be ready to roll onto his big, big picture question here and then we'll get into the minutia of it.

Brian Murphy from WR LTV five sports investigative reporter. So were were meeting again on the 21st which is next Tuesday and again the legislative session ends the 30th. How quickly do they get from those meetings and those committees and that language in those two bills to the point where they're voting on it and because there's another bill doesn't have to also go back to the center yeah so you know a lot of people are used to the legislative process being very slowly taking a long time and sometimes it does but how to cover the state legislature when they want something to move and and I can move very quickly get written in the morning voted on a committee. In the afternoon at half in the in the chamber revived by the evening so if they got the agreements that told they have have the votes to pass this very quick.

I don't think we'll see about next week so I think will be looking at about in the final week of the session as they try to get out before the July 4 holiday weekend.

If that does get voted on and passed when does this went when can I go out and back on the Panthers. Plus +5 against the Browns.

Sure we get to that.

The second bill would have to go back to the Senate first bill so that the Texans on this process but I think they can get this done as to the more important question when you can go back on on the Panthers +5 is likely the September October time I heard today is closer to the beginning of the year so they'd like to get it up and running in time for the ballgames inside for the NFL playoffs obviously is on for the Super Bowl. There's a lot of processing in the original bill haven't seen this yet in the new bill in the original bill… The North Carolina lottery commission, which would run this would have 60 days to accept or deny an application and then you imagine that these companies were overrunning in many states from around the country would get operational.

Very quickly I don't know 60 days as a legitimate timeframe, so I think we could be looking at post Thanksgiving post Thanksgiving.

First of all, is it weird that the lottery commission would be running this. Is this common in other states is pretty common in other states.

Although Tennessee had the lottery commission charged and found that the industry is just changing too much too complex and they credit their own sports wagering advisory Council and that is dedicated solely to sports wagering you look at some of the numbers that are coming out of other states. New York had over $1.2 billion that in the month of May Tennessee and Virginia have seen the May numbers are evil numbers were around 400 million revenue to get a regulatory board up and running.

I can really handle the issues and not be tacked onto something like lottery commission I think will see how the lottery commission is able to handle it and then you know what they sped off in the future to really regulate this industry. One thing that caught my eye was that Indiana became the latest date to go over $1 billion in gross revenue of the previous the previous month Iowa has also cracked that I believe mean it's just so much.

Initially there's not going to be as much money but down the road there is so much money and I think New York's tax rate is somewhere in the neighborhood of 25% and the all the all the companies that would run it, whether it's MGM or draft games or whatever they're all like yeah whatever will pay because they know what the revenue is right.

51% of gross gross weight of 5151%, but when you think about their monthly handle was $1.2 billion in MA I don't have a winnings to get to their gross revenue, but when you talk about numbers of that skill you. You can pay for the part that you're taking. It is so enormous sleep. I was told that the Nortel's market could be bigger than Virginia's market. Virginia's averaging somewhere around about $400 million per month in investments. If Nortel is a little bigger than that. Were talking before for $450 million. So let's just invent I'm still on people when it's not with operators are making, but that's a scale of the business that's happening right next family talk. I am hopefully let's do this next week.

I'll sit betting lines on how the what margin it passes the House and Senate by and how quickly we get this up and running. Brian Murphy at Murph in and CW Mario sports investigative reporter. Thank you very much for front you got it. I come in courage now I'm in courage that will be able to do this by Thanksgiving. Come on football season.

Hopefully hopefully will be able to get this done. This is the atom gold shell June 19, 2006, but it all started May 6, 1997 the announcement that the Hartford whalers were coming to North Carolina transition of heartbreak.

Figuring it out on the fly came fifth anniversary of the presented by the Carolina listen
