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 🥌

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.

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.

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 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 go from here — then it’s over to the OG Sports Phone for raw, unfiltered fan reactions, hot takes, and all the emotion that comes with a finish like this.

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.
