OVIES & GIGLIO

It’s time for Olympic Protocols on this edition of Butcher’s Market OG Live. The guys welcome NC Rabbit Hole’s Jeremy Markovich to dive into one of the strangest North Carolina sports-adjacent stories ever: the time the Olympic torch sat in a state evidence locker for years. Sara Civian joins the show to discuss what's ahead on the Olympic hockey ice and what to expect from the Carolina Hurricanes...

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? Ju...

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...

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 Bre...

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 sh...

OG After Dark, presented by Bloomin’ Blinds, delivers instant reaction to another classic in the Duke vs. North Carolina rivalry. UNC closed the game on a stunning 9–0 run to flip it late and stun the Blue Devils in Chapel Hill, with Seth Trimble and Caleb Wilson doing their part to etch their names into rivalry lore. Ovies & Giglio break down how it happened, what it means, and where both teams g...

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...

It’s a Butcher’s Market OG Live, and the show kicks off with a live check-in from Super Bowl 60 with longtime NFL reporter Darin Gantt. It’s officially been 10 years since the Carolina Panthers were in San Francisco for the big game — and it’s been quite the adventure ever since. How close are they to getting back? From the NFL to the hardwood, the unofficial start to college basketball rivalry se...

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...

It’s Super Bowl week. Where is the hype for the game? It may be all wasted on debating the halftime show. Joe and Demetri go all in on everything around the game. 1:25 - TPUSA is really doing this 19:03 - What happened to Super Bowl hype? 35:45 - Make money off Tirico & Collinsworth 40:53 - Josh D’Amaro to take over Disney 45:25 - Disney Adult diversion 50:20 - It’s over for RSNs Want the full epi...

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’ sea...

After a brief Super Bowl Radio Row tangent, Ovies & Giglio lock in on college basketball as the “unofficial” start of the season arrives with Duke vs. UNC. The Blue Devils look like they’re in a tier of their own in the ACC, while the Tar Heels have completely flipped the conversation from two weeks ago — when the pressure was squarely on Hubert Davis. Is the pressure off? Will it ever be for Hube...

It’s another OG Mailbag, and Ovies & Giglio are turning the show over to the listeners. Calls and comments drive the conversation as the guys hit everything that’s been lighting up inboxes, timelines, and the OG Sports Phone. The mailbag opens with Triangle snow talk and Giglio having no recollection of the time he balled out in a high school football game. From there, listeners weigh in on Drake...

Ovies & Giglio open "OG Live", brought to you by The Butcher's Market, with Cam Newton once again taking aim at Drake Maye. The former MVP is doubling down on the idea that the former UNC quarterback is, at best, a game manager — and at worst another version of Trent Dilfer. That’s a tough pill to swallow for Maye, who grew up idolizing Cam, even breaking out the Superman TD celebration earlier th...

It’s been a busy week in the media. Joe and Demetri dive into the business of snow, the best sports section in the country being stamped out and why everyone should have sympathy for radio brain rot.

As the guys like to say, anyone can podcast on a Monday — and the same apparently goes for a Wednesday. Especially when Bill Belichick is reportedly snubbed on his first Pro Football Hall of Fame ballot and NC State fans are losing their minds over logos. Ovies & Giglio welcome Bomani Jones to the show to dig into the Belichick news and the very political reality of Hall of Fame voting across ever...

After some winter weather banter to get things rolling, Ovies & Giglio welcome Louisville Courier-Journal’s C.L. Brown for a deep dive into ACC basketball. What was billed as a marquee regular-season showdown between Duke and Louisville quickly turned into a blowout, raising the big question facing the league right now: Is it Duke…and then everyone else in the ACC? From there, the show shifts to f...

The latest Ovies & Giglio kicks off with Super Bowl storylines running straight through Charlotte, thanks to the matchup between New England and Seattle. The game heads back to San Francisco — the site of the Panthers’ last Super Bowl appearance — and there’s a full-circle moment tied to it. Drake Maye, a Charlotte kid who grew up rooting for Cam Newton, was there for that Panthers loss… and now h...

It’s a brand-new OG Mailbag, and Ovies & Giglio are diving straight into what you want to talk about. Questions about the Carolina Hurricanes, NC State and Will Wade, and UNC fans weigh in on the ever-heated Smith Center debate. There’s also plenty of NFL quarterback discourse, because of course there is, plus several other off-the-wall questions and observations that only an OG Mailbag can delive...

It’s another OG Live, brought to you by The Butcher’s Market, and the guys are joined by ESPN’s Wes Durham to break down North Carolina’s emphatic win over Notre Dame. Was it the wake-up call the Tar Heels needed — or simply taking advantage of a matchup that won’t be there when UNC heads to Virginia? From there, the conversation shifts to NC State’s ongoing consistency issues and whether anyone i...

After a brief detour into mushroom coffee, the guys dive into NC State’s win at Clemson and Will Wade getting a crash course in the “Law of the Wolf." Then Patrick Stevens (Washington Post, OG Media’s chief bracketologist) joins the show to unveil his first NCAA Tournament bracket projection of the season, setting the table for how ACC teams are stacking up early. It’s time for a hockey break with...

The guys open the show reacting to Indiana’s improbable 16–0 national championship season, capped by the Hoosiers knocking off Miami in the College Football Playoff. There’s a breakdown of the game itself, but the bigger conversation centers on how Curt Cignetti flipped one of the worst major-conference programs in college football history in just two seasons — and what that means for the sport mo...

California was unkind to UNC basketball. After losing both legs of the Golden State trip, the Tar Heels and Hubert Davis face some serious questions. Meanwhile, NC State did what it previously hadn't done and lost a game it shouldn't. Eighteen games into the season, Will Wade's team is searching for an identity. Hats off to the New England Patriots and their fans. Their long nightmare is finally o...

On this episode of OG Mailbag, Ovies & Giglio dig into why Hubert Davis may have reached the dreaded “forever grateful” status with some UNC fans — and why that framing misses a bigger point. The ACC is simply better this season, and the west coast swing is taking a toll on a lot of teams. That doesn’t mean UNC doesn’t have defensive issues, but neither do NC State or Duke. The real question: can...
