This is that the Adam goals you have financial advisory through capital financial USA.com. This is the Adam Gold show was the craziest thing you've ever done that is Doc's craziest thing you've ever done. I will say prayer.

That's fair.

I didn't go white water rafting in the on the cheat River in West Virginia like last five and six rapid was that was a fun little dangerous to God in the boat. Okay, what I would not do. I would not rule on breakneck speed down a hill.

Kind of a muddy hill in Gloucestershire, England chasing after an 8 pound wheel of cheese but I know somebody who did epilepsy graduate of NC State who joins us will tell people where you are intimate in the lives you know it was you want to keep it secret. I appreciate your time.

First of all congrats congratulations on winning the 8 pound wheel of cheese. Where is the wheel of cheese right now it's getting shipped to the US back to North Carolina from Gloucester, England art, so how much was the shipping on a pound will chase about 70, 80 pounds of what it was that much.

It was a 70 pound wheel of cheese now 807 pounds nevermind seven. This that's a lot of money. That's about hundred bucks. My gosh, I hope the dig was a reprise other than the wheel of cheeseburger for winning this bragging right against you're the only person who can say that you want that division. If the Gloucestershire Jubilee cheese rolling. What was the cheese. Do you know what kind of cheese.

It was double Gloucester.

Very nice. That's a quality of its qualities as I watched, I went on YouTube and I watch the race and I don't know if this was your strategy, but whether it was your strategy or not you adapted very well because it looked to me like Otto. After a handful of strides you went down and you just rolled the rest of the way. I don't know if it was safer or more dangerous.

So tell me about your plan.

My plan was to be on my feet.

The longest I could but that did not last very long. I quickly fell and I started tumbling and when I was tumbling I can notice that I was not going in a straight line. My site was being altered and I could see the crowd getting closer & I was going diagonally by my only thought during this entire race was to go down even cheese go as fast as I can and try to get down big cheese be the key leverage is that's there's like a Caddy shack reference in there somewhere. Why did you want to do this it and did you go to England with the express purpose of entering this race. Why did you want to do this. I want to participate in this event because it's another obscure random sporting event.

I've done the Krispy Kreme challenge familiar with it, you run 2.5 miles to our local Krispy Kreme in Raleigh North Carolina right you eat 12 doughnuts and then you run back without going up in under an hour.

So I've done in an hour and six minutes two times. So do they disqualify you if you do it under an hour disqualify but technically didn't complete the challenge fully.

This is tremendous. You have your you're very daring what's what.

First of all where are you right now I'm in Barcelona, Spain, around now for Barcelona is from Pamplona but you got a month before they run with the bulls. Yeah, I thought about running at the bulls. But I will be in Greece. Unfortunately, that's unfortunate, but sure that's that's unfortunate. So do you have another another challenge you're going to try to do. I don't have anything like that right now I'm all ears. If there are sporting events that are happening the summer look this is this is just tremendous. What had you you I am guessing you had seen something like this yet seen the cheese roll before dangerous thing. I saw the loading people into ambulances. What was it like being there is amazing. People are so supportive they were cheering the entire time. At one point they started to chant canteen cheese cheese cheese and it was just an amazing experience to be a part of the Hyatt have one. It would've been amazing sober. I was sober you know you just going to pop them. But what about everybody else.

They were not also can imagine. I can imagine that you would be what what what are what are these what is the atmosphere like at these types of events be we been I'm sure you've gone do to a state football game and experience tailgating in all of that. How would you compare what you saw there to what we see here so I think it's more like last. It's the fourth quarter. You have the ball running your teams running to get the touchdown into state is like maybe three minutes left in the quarter. I think that's more of the atmosphere. Everyone is yelling their hearts out when you're rolling down with the cheese. It's an amazing feeling. But I was just mostly focus on rolling pounds.

I wasn't really enthralled with the audience. But after I wanted everyone was so kind. They congratulated me the entire day and they wanted pictures with me and kept saying were so proud of you and they didn't even know me everywhere before Mitzi's date of birth, but like you just graduated with an engineering degree. Yeah I graduated in industrial and systems engineering degree which funny enough, is about optimizing and making sure that he or she must streamline processes and trying to make things as efficient as possible, which I think I did with the role again. He said it wasn't your plan but you certainly made the best of it. Did you know that you one like it soon as you cried like this isn't the first person to touch the cheese you cross the finish line. How do you let you know when the cheese is going about 70 miles an hour speed you not to catch it but you want to cross the flower line that they put at the beginning of the race and its the bottom of the hill. Rugby players are all on the line and you just have to be the first one there. So I rolled over. Luckily, I was almost I almost lost which was really sad but I rolled and the first thing I said was, did I win, and the lady who had the bucket cheese. She comes running holding the bottle tease me up on my head. She said you just one.

The cheese rolling and I was floored. I was in such disbelief. I was ecstatic so appear in like so happy Joshua should be named image and likeness for like you should get a lifetime supply of craft something or Velveeta. You have a favor cheese and maybe it's Gloucester now have a favor cheese Vermont cheddar. That's a really good 10 and Mankato very very nice very nice quality cheeses I don't know if any of those are available in Spain are not how I long to be traveling before you start work. I don't leave until August 31 and I don't start work until the middle of October. Although I kinda got a bit of time you can. I'm sure there's cliff diving somewhere you can do you can cliff jumping in Greece. Of course you will. I hope we see it on video. Abby P this is awesome.

Thank you so much for doing this. Did you get hurt at all. I Hebrews is in my head hurt a little bit today but not major injuries. Well, again I don't how you survived out of why why did it but I appreciate the fact that you did any any shout outs you want to give to people back here since your state grab our I would like to thank my family and friends such a versatile athlete now. That's right winning an Oscar just everyone who's helped me along the way and I did. By God's grace I did not break anything. People help you. Did you train for this.

My boss came with me to roll down the pills if you would want to call that training like where would you wrote me and I've so I saw the hills that we have the hills that look like that now we don't do the addict has small hills, but I rolled down sort of like ramps more more real hills about what what you did look dangerous. It look like the double black diamond do you ski. I do see I love skiing look like a double black diamond like extreme skiing without the snow without the skis. I'm glad you're okay.

Enjoy the rest of your summer vacation and appreciate your time. Abby P. Congratulations on the eighth. You can eat the cheese and you get back. Hopefully my family achieves unveiling. Thank you.

Have a great time in Europe and will bid will check it check it out again down the road okay great things everyone think that is phenomenal and 8 pound wheel of cheese – what is that she trained by rolling down the hill with Dorothea Dix or I job for them to join us on the other side.

He's got the radio call which you can listen to on the radio right here in Raleigh on 99 on the fan of the lightning and the Rangers game for tonight. Talk to John for the next golden studio with my friend Coach Pete the router with the capital financial advisory group. We are talking retirement hotels longevity risk figure into our retirement and income plan. This is the best of times and the worst time to longevity risk to live too long, but to me everyday lives not too long we want money to outlive us and unfortunately many people have seen you out there listening to one of them. Your money is not designed to outlive you.

You might outlive your money and that's not what we want to have happen as we get to the day after you run out of money not to be a fun time with design a plan that guarantees you will never run out of money. We call it the GPI plant growth protection lifetime income for the next 10 people is the golden ticket out of the snow valuable to do at no cost or obligation, and all you have to do is call we make it so easy.

Would you like financial independence into your retirement and beyond. 800-661-7383 that golden ticket is $1000 value or you could text Adam to 21000 for Coach Pete to root before their game three lost the Rangers were on fire. They had won six of seven dispatched the Carolina hurricanes in seven games and took the first two games in New York from their series with the two-time defending champions.Tampa Bay Lightning John fours learned on the radio call for sports USA radio network and we will be on the radio right here in Raleigh tonight also. Game five and game six as well.

John fours and joins us talk little bit about the series. How are you sir I'm great how you doing very well thank you very much for your time before we get to the series tonight. Just one question about the Colorado Avalanche division have enough goaltending to win the Stanley Cup. Great question. I would say they need Darcy Kemper. I think they need him back to you with the backup goalie last night which leads you to believe he is close and so gentle with the way he offered and I have been depending on how long the Rangers and lightning go game one could either be on June 15 or June 18 at the latest… Significant layoff and obviously enough time for Her to get back.

I don't think possible friend souls he got through.

He made some some sequences that were pretty good and make some situations look a lot worse than they could've been. And so because of that, against a team like the Rangers or Tampa Bay. I think Colorado is not when it butted like a beauty would goaltending like that. So I think they can still do it made Kemper to make sure that they're locked into this almost seems to me like the avalanche might have to outscore their issues which are important capable of doing. Watching them play is really the series with Edmonton was just and and it was breathtaking. How fast, how much speed there was on the ice all right to the game that will be in front of you tonight at Emily Arena. It's it's funny how it's so easy based on what we see in two games in New York how easy it was for many to overlook the fact that the lightning are the two-time defending champions and may not, but they were good in the first. Not good enough to score, but then the Rangers took it to nothing leader.

They were burying Tampa you can put that team away and I thought Nikita could trough raised his game to an incredible level and I think they gutted one out there. What have you seen in this series doesn't do the Rangers look like the better team to play very well in the third game only allowed 52 shots every good thing I don't care how good your goalie is Manchester Kinsman dynamite right but that's not a recipe for any kind of success in the playoffs. Looking at the lock it up a little bit better defensively, like they did in New York.

We came out of New York with the opinion that a couple things happen. Your number one.

Everyone was worried about the Gateway layoff and I was going to affect Tampa Bay. Well, the first game they were rusty. They were guilty of self-inflicted wounds and returning the park over they were getting caught out of position Rangers were dominating the neutral zone on the attack and because of that way they looked a lot faster than Tampa Bay and it look like after the two games want to got back here lightning are either out of gas more injured than they're letting anyone. Believe it or not to be able to overcome the loss of Brady point in the Rangers will win the series may be in short order the champions were champions in game three.

If this were prize fight. The Rangers are winning on points, but the champions on the ropes right now this come off the ropes and you have to knock out the chaff to win the fight and will to find out tonight where all of that is because the lightning as soon as the puck drop in the third. Run a mission, and I believe they came out of New York in the third. With a little bit of hope to live but I think they like that. A lot of us got all that was just a desperation push Rangers will get back to business. But you know you got is respect to their 2 cups in a row going on. Three. Maybe you have to give them that kind of respect.

I never like to put too much stock in a game that theoretically has already been decided by what I see in the third. During the regular season. I think you can completely dismiss but maybe not. Maybe not 100% in the postseason because I know that the old saying is not a game.

It's a series. So maybe Tampa did carry some of that over but again they were down to nothing. This game could have gone the other way and then Coach are off stamp goes one timers on the power play and then look maybe it's not as good a pass as I believe it was but everybody was crazy about the Andre plot goal. I watch the pass the culture off pass was I thought subtle brilliance incredible world-class. It's one of the best plays of the playoffs, not a goal that results in a goal, but the past back can pass upward out of the slot.

There was was beautiful to great hockey play all the way around the two defensemen did what they were supposed came on the tail end of the sequence will be almost gorgeous. Durkin made a safe puck was wound around the district think what were going to see here is, as you have two teams tonight that both are very confident what to do right and sometimes in the playoff series. It's that seed of doubt that can that can propel a team do a team, then it's not evident yet here I think the Rangers believe that they are better.

The Rangers believe that there were not very good again. 3M still could've won the game and because of that.

All they need to do is play better tonight will have a great result Of basic believe they can do this.

They believe they have the pedigree which is obvious they have the star players who criminalized in performing the way you're supposed to in the playoffs and you know your best players are any good.

It's most obvious thing to say but it's really true in the Stanley Cup playoffs because it's just you can't keep going. The wealth nice to get you know an unlikely hero down in your lineup but you can't rely on that and Tampa Bay got to the best players who draw from and was very good and causes been very good throughout this whole thing a lot has 10 game winning goal in the playoff's career is very quiet so there there right there is no question about 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 corporate figuring it out on the fly became 25th anniversary of the presented by the Carolina listen just about about the Rangers I keep hearing about well you know they they weren't as good as this.

The word or their here ahead of time. No, I mean I think sometimes you just get there and just because your forecast maybe to be a next year team or maybe two years down the road. The Rangers made three actually for acquisitions at the trade deadline that made their lineup better and created a real third line by getting Andrew Kopp from Winnipeg by getting Frankfurt's runner from Florida adding Tyler Mott a depth piece on their fourth line Justin Braun filled out their defense and then all of those pieces allowed 1/3 line with Campo Capo and (Geer and Philip Edell who I think is better than the other two and they were both second overall pics. I just think that this team is legitimately good and the goaltenders great why can't they would assume the cup again. They can win the Stanley Cup and you know what all these forecasts about well, maybe next year, and all these different things. I remember 2016 or 2017.

Playoffs the hockey news that a cover story in the cover story was let's predict the winner of the 2019 Stanley Cup and they predicted the Winnipeg Jets okay so it look like they have the makings of something great. Obviously it never happened. So the Rangers are seizing this moment on there set up for the future.

They made outstanding deals in all I think that we had Sunday was in there playoff win so far. Almost 47% of the point productions come from trading deadline acquisitions and you know that they were able to get guys to fit certain roles been plus getting Berkeley good drawback of representatives, you know, in game one of the first round and playing Toby's funeral getting back in action here in the series S but the right level, so good that they're getting outstanding play. From all these guys in the young 20-year-old young lady and you should be performing at once you cut your teeth and and I think those young players were challenged by drug laughter, seizing the coach to be way better than they were in our meeting. He only had eight goals in the regular season at seven in the player so everybody forgets that if you can go to work when it really counts, and become better and now as this is happened for them. These players have really cut their teeth and not moving forward. Like I said there set up for the future, but they can do it now with this goalie and and the team play they have in the power play. They have they can win the Stanley Cup.

I said this just is doing as a citizen will love will let you go right after here during the James Ranger series for me. We could talk about savanna Jad and Kreider and all the offense of players and Adam Fox. I wasn't sure just Durkin was great. He was the best player, but I actually thought that the best gator whiskey Andre Miller. I think that kid is going to be an absolute star defensively. He's got offense of game as well, but he made. I don't know how many elite defensive players to break up scoring chances and he did it all series long and he did it against the pit. The Penguin Sunnis doing this series I let kids future is ridiculous. While remember this is a player that was a forward until he was 17. So at least 22 plain worlds level that long. These an unbelievable athlete is a quick learner from what they tell me he's unbelievably coachable but Jacob Strube has been a great partner for him and you know what that's what they have.

They have the Rangers have a set attack barring injury. They know who's playing with you over consistent. Time they haven't had to change much at all. When you're questioning who's playing with. Who would try to change lines and moving guys in and out and try to get combinations that work in trying to revive your power play. Please use you sought in that market exactly what happens.

Your your your very good team but you're searching for things you should not be searching for the Stanley Cup playoffs. Okay Andre Miller at a very steady season and was in a quiet way. Not a lot of people noticed it and he's like everybody else is relishing these moments right now playing with a teleconference. I absolutely loved him, and have loved in the playoffs. I will click Bruce Cassidy.

Barry trots John Tortorella Rick talk.

How many of those guys will be behind benches next year.

The COACH the same thing all four of your staff ever assembled all glorious one guys could actually be the video and maybe talk will be the video you got such a great job indelibly has you know I listen.

This one is ahead scratcher because they're all excellent coaches. There's no doubt but every coach as a life enough shelf life, so to speak, and they have to go but this one here, the Bruins were at a very good team and were able look at the injuries they had picked up the defense completely dismantled by injury during the Carolina series Cassidy made adjustments within that series kept his team right in there to do 1/7 game, there's a disconnect. Obviously, between the president campanile and Cassidy and that's where it is and that's all it is and he's got over 620 percentage whatever it is, and in the coach of the year and all these different things and the same can be said for a lot of the other guys that are looking for jobs right now but it shouldn't be long for Bruce Cassidy.

The only thing that the negative there is that I you know he's one of these headstrong guys are just opinions on young players and it's good you're you're all set. If it's bad it's almost like you have no chance.

Jacob Rusk is going through that with him. So there is a little bit of that might've rubbed her management the wrong way, but based on their injuries. With McAvoy being out till December.

Now was look being out Riley being on the back and Bergeron's going to have surgery. He might not play until January and plays marsh and not even had hip surgery calamity right now.

So good luck. Leverage the coaches because most people are some crazy magic, which the GM said they could do in the summer. Can't wait to see it might be rebuilding your totally for the Bruins, looking to be in the lottery pick next year will seek enjoy games for tonight. Johnson was an endgame five endgame six and congratulations to your daughters go to graduate so there's just no game seven seven. For me that's the best news out. I'll be downtown Raleigh all set in a beautiful convention center 18 million people watching kids file across the stage very sensor okay. Take care John Soares looks the voice of the Eastern conference finals on the radio to listen while you can check it out tonight game for ranges of the 21 series lead. 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 25th anniversary of the Carolina listen
