Ovies and Giglio are back from Philadelphia and the energy has shifted from celebration to processing. Saturday was about appreciating the moment and the history. Monday is about something more important. How did the Carolina Hurricanes get here and how many things have gone right to make it possible? More critically — the Canes aren’t here to win 8 games. They’re here to win 16 and hoist the Stanley Cup. So what needs to improve and can they keep this going? Ryan Didoshak of @HotGarbageSports on YouTube joins the show to make the case for why the Canes are the monster under the bed this postseason and why the top line is actually producing at exactly the level needed to make everything else work for Carolina. The Lightning Round covers a lot of ground — Ovies learns the meaning behind Morgan Wallen’s “98 Braves” song before the guys reflect on the passing of Atlanta’s legendary manager Bobby Cox and billionaire visionary Ted Turner. ACC meetings in Amelia Island and the NBA Draft Lottery also get their moment before OG Sports Phone calls close the show.

I freakin' hated the tolls going up to ECU @ Army 2 years ago. Highway robbery and for all that $ their roads still suck. And yeah, EZPass is the only way to make it marginally affordable.
Newer listener/member (like a year total). Why does the OG logo in the bottom left of the episode have a dot for Clemson, VT, and UVA marked? Just to rep the ACC in the Atlantic south states? Just curious where that logo came from
Brodes (35:56 mark) had his own podcast and is a known "screamer" and 'yeller' as opposed to a composed thinker. He loves posting videos after horrific losses by the Eagles, Phillies, Sixers and Flyers. I take his videos with a huge grain of salt. And I am not a Philly sports fan, just a fan of several franchises who compete against the squads from the City of Brotherly Love….
Ovies, just get the damn EZ pass
Did you two get to meet up with the other Joe Giglio in Philly ? Not thru the whole episode yet !!
0:49 Yes, Washington DC destroys you. The HOV will still leave you hanging, drops you still in misery. Broad Street in Richmond is where it starts, I just roll with 81 but I'm headed to Princeton usually.
We need Montreal. Best away game possible, also, let's kill the king, again.
It's cute you think Wallen wrote anything
John Sterling was on the call for the Rick Camp homer game. "Rick Camp! Rick Camp!"
Acuff hot take let's gooo
Giglio — you are going to need a passport to get into Canada, be it by air, land or sea.
A real ID will not suffice to cross the Canadian border from the United States. A real ID typically has a STAR on it differentiating it from a regular driver's license.
However, an ENHANCED driver's license (an EDL) will permit you to cross into Canada from the United States so long as you are traveling by land (car, bus, rail) or sea*, but NOT air.
The rub here is that only five states issue EDLs, those being New York, Michigan, Minnesota, Vermont and Washington. The EDL features either a U.S. FLAG (instead of a star) or is simply labeled with the word ENHANCED on it.
In addition to an EDL, an American citizen with a U.S. passport card (issued by the U.S. Department of State, a wallet-sized, plastic, real ID-compliant identification document that allows U.S. citizens to re-enter the U.S. by land or sea from Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Bermuda), a U.S. Military ID card or a trusted traveler program card (NEXUS, SENTRI, or FAST) can get in and out of Canada via land or sea.
Best case scenario to get to Montreal quickly from the U.S. without flying into Montreal with a passport would be to fly to either Plattsburgh, NY (PBG) or Burlington, VT (BTV) and then drive across the border in a rental car so long as you have an EDL, a military ID card or a trusted traveler program card.
If you weren't in the military and you don't live in a state that issues EDL, your best or quickest bet would be to acquire a trusted traveler program card, which you can obtain additional information about by clicking on the following link: https://www.login.gov/help/specific-agencies/trusted-traveler-programs/. But even acquiring a trusted traveler program card may take you several weeks, as there is both an application (written) and interview process involved in obtaining one.
Living in the Garden State (your old haunts), we just implemented the REAL ID system here last year, and it created in a massive backlog for people either renewing expiring licenses or obtaining the new ID for domestic flight purposes. I had to renew my license this year (I could have done a standard renewal at $24 for the next four years), but I opted to get the REAL ID for $11 more in case I need to make a domestic flight somewhere.
Only negative was having to make a physical trip to a local MVC facility (they don't call it the DMV any more, but that's just putting perfume on a pig), but hey, now I have a real ID! LOL
In the early days of cable TV (we got cable TV here in the early 1980s), the "Superstations" were all of the rage for major city transplants, as Cubs fans from around the country could get their Harry Caray calls and Cubbies on WGN (who could forget the attractive Cubs ball girl Marla?), Mets fans could get their club on WOR Channel 9, and Atlanta Braves fans (they were a lot harder to find in the 1970s and 1980s save for Dale Murphy "honks") could get their team on WTBS.
Not sure if the entire country got it, but in the Northeast we got WSBK/Channel 38 in Boston, which carried select Boston Red Sox and Boston Bruins games throughout the MLB and NHL regular seasons. Once ESPN got involved with baseball and the cable TV industry evolved in the late 1980s into the early 1990s, the superstation phenomenon became less of a thing, but in the early to mid 1980s, it was the "shizzle" for a lot of big city transplants and baseball fans in general.
Back then, the Cubs only played home day games, so if you were sick and home from either school or work, you could almost always find a Cubs day game on one of the cable TV channels! Wrigley Field didn't install the lights until the 1989 season.
