Show notes

Hangovers are the theme of the week, and the latest example is North Carolina’s stumble at Miami after the emotional high of beating Duke on Saturday. Predictable? Maybe. Acceptable? Not according to plenty of Tar Heels fans who lit up the OG Sports Phone. The guys break down what the loss says about UNC and whether this kind of letdown is just part of the deal or something bigger. As for Duke? Just another meat and potatoes ACC win in the books. WFNZ and Locked On Hornets host Walker Mehl joins the show to unpack the brawl between Charlotte and Detroit, why the Hornets might be the most interesting pro team in North Carolina right now, and how the NBA’s Eastern Conference suddenly feels…available. Plus! Curling takes over the Social Media Dump 🥌

OG Business: Bad Bunny, country artists, and where the NFL goes next for their halftime show Feb 11, 2026

Show notes

On the latest OG Business, Joe Ovies and Demetri Ravanos dig into the one thing everyone can’t stop talking about: Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show. The NFL got exactly what it wanted — eyeballs, buzz, and debate — but now comes the hard part: what do you do for an encore? The guys handicap potential future halftime acts and break down why country artists still face an uphill climb to land the biggest stage in sports. From there, it’s on to Kid Rock’s counter-programming, America’s ongoing ratings illiteracy, and what this year’s batch of Super Bowl commercials says about where the culture is right now. The ultimate takeaway? Maybe we should all be a little more like Spuds McKenzie and Joe Camel.

Not Tonight on the Will Wade Bed: NC State Had a Headache | How Far Can UNC Go? | Duke’s One Big Weakness | 02.10 Feb 10, 2026

Show notes

Ovies & Giglio open the show with NC State’s wild, history making season — both the good and the bad — now adding a historic blowout loss at Louisville to the résumé. What does it mean for the Wolfpack in March? OG Media Senior Bracketologist Patrick Stevens joins the guys to break down the impact on NC State’s NCAA Tournament seeding and the bigger picture across the ACC. Then, The Athletic’s Brendan Marks stops by to dive into UNC’s stunner over Duke: does it carry into the rest of the season, should we reevaluate Carolina’s ceiling, and did the win change any of the discourse around the future of the Smith Center? Plus, at Duke, what these rare losses reveal about the Blue Devils’ biggest deficiency. And of course, your OG Sports Phone calls and more.

Drake Maye Sees Ghosts in Super Bowl Snoozer | UNC vs Duke Aftermath | Roy Cooper Convo | OG Sports Phone | 02.09 Feb 09, 2026

Show notes

It’s a very hungover Giglio to start the show, which somehow leads perfectly into the big question: will there be a Super Bowl hangover for Drake Maye? The Seattle Seahawks dominated the New England Patriots, putting the spotlight back on the schedule and just how good Maye really was in the postseason. After some riffing on Bad Bunny’s halftime show and the truly awful Super Bowl ads, the guys shift to the aftermath of North Carolina’s stunner over Duke. What’s a hot take? What’s a reasonable take? And Ovies has an idea that might actually change how kids go about storming the court. Former North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper stops by the studio to talk about the big games, the Carolina Hurricanes and more. Plus! Your OG Sports Phone calls to wrap it all up.

OG Mailbag: What would happen if MrBeast funded ECU? | 'Penisgate' at the Olympics Feb 06, 2026

Show notes

It’s another OG Mailbag, which means all bets are off. Ovies & Giglio tackle your questions about what would happen if MrBeast funded ECU football, penis-enlarging Olympic ski jumpers (don’t ask), the slow death of newspaper sports sections, reckonings, logos, the Charlotte Hornets, and whether the Pro Football Hall of Fame voting process is the reason Torry Holt is still on the outside looking in. They also hit the Carolina Hurricanes, how the OG Sports Phone works and plenty of the wonderfully unhinged stuff that only the OG Mailbag can deliver.

Reckoning rolling? NC State 6-0 in ACC road games | Will Duke's D travel to UNC? | Believe in Bussi | Drake Maye story time | 02.04 Feb 04, 2026

Show notes

The show opens with NC State moving to 6–0 on the road in ACC play after a dramatic win over SMU, and the buzz around where Will Wade has the Wolfpack headed for the stretch run to the ACC Tournament. That excitement spills over to the OG Sports Phone, where fans call in admitting a few things they maybe should’ve kept to themselves. Over at Duke, another dominant defensive performance seals a win over Boston College — but will that defense travel to Chapel Hill? Then it’s to the ice, as the Carolina Hurricanes head into the Olympic break as one of the favorites in Vegas, and it sure feels like everyone believes in Bussi now. ESPN’s Brooke Pryor joins the show from the Super Bowl to talk lessons from the hiring cycle and Drake Maye storylines. And speaking of Maye, the show closes with some high school basketball story time and an officiating quiz for Giglio from our resident high school hoops officiating expert.

TIMESTAMPS:

Is UNC ready for Duke after wonky win over 'Cuse? | Hornets demand your attention | Quiet Panthers offseason? | 02.02 Feb 03, 2026

Show notes

The show opens with Ovies trying to wrap his head around Jay Williams — yes, that Duke legend — once again sounding openly wistful about North Carolina, just days before another rivalry showdown on Saturday. From there, the guys break down UNC’s glass-half-full, glass-half-empty win over Syracuse and what it actually says about this team. N&O’s Shelby Swanson joins the pod to assess the Heels’ season so far and why Caleb Wilson feels tailor-made for rivalry games like this.

Staying on the hardwood, WFNZ’s Walker Mehl stops by to talk about the suddenly streaking Charlotte Hornets — is this real, and is it real enough to knock Panthers talk off the airwaves for at least a week? In the Lightning Round, the guys hit Roger Goodell’s state of the NFL, more Hall of Fame discourse, some truly silly Super Bowl questions, and more. And of course, your OG Sports Phone calls to close it out.
