The World Cup has arrived and it's doing what only the World Cup can do — bringing the entire planet together. Marcus and Carter talk about soccer fans coming out of the woodwork, the unmatched passion of European supporters who pack stadiums by the thousands every weekend, and the chants and die-hard devotion that make soccer fandom unlike anything else in sports.

Back home, Carolina's own Caleb Wilson is headed to the Chicago Bulls — following in the footsteps of a certain Tar Heel legend. Plus, golf talk: Viktor Hovland outduels World #1 Scottie Scheffler in a playoff to win the Travelers, and the Open Championship is right around the corner.

This episode is dedicated to the memory of Jack Roney — NC State swimmer, devoted father and husband, and a longtime friend of Carter's who passed away this week. We love you, Jack.

What a week to be a sports fan. The New York Knicks are NBA champions for the first time since 1973, and the Carolina Hurricanes have brought the Stanley Cup back to Raleigh for the first time since 2006.

Marcus and Carter break down both championship runs, celebrate the moments, and look ahead to the US Open right around the corner.

Carolina is loud right now. 🏀⛳

Buckets & Birdies is taking it to the course! Marcus, Carter, and Producer Pablo are live from Finley Golf Club in Chapel Hill, North Carolina fresh off a round of golf on a beautiful day.

Fairways, fast breaks, and fresh takes — straight from the links. 🏀⛳
