Let's podcast alongside Joe Jili. I'm Joe Ovius inside Eifford Studios in downtown

Raleigh. Thanks to Empire Properties and thanks to Copiers Plus. Check them out online at copiers dash plus.com. We got a full show. We got the draft on Thursday. Mike K. Charlotte Observer is going to drop by. John Foresland, our old friend, get his thoughts on the Carolina Hurricanes after game one, this series against the Devils. And also going to the way back machine, Joe.

That's a winner.

I know.

This program from 1999, their first Stanley Cup playoffs appearance in Greensboro, a young

pup John Forsland in there.

This thing cracks me up on so many levels.

Like there's so many dead companies in here now. Like, would you like, would you be interested in Alltel? Remember Alltel? There was another one that cracked me up too about this. I think Sprint's no longer worth us, right? I don't think so. Yeah, I think Sprint got consumed. Look, they got Stormy.

Stormy's looking not as kid friendly,

a little frightening there. A little fussy. They updated him. He did almost die in the zamboni. Well, there is that. There is that. We got Interpath. Remember Inner Path? I think I had Interpath. I tried to get a job at Interpath. I don't even know what that is. They were like a, this was like a telecommunications company back in the day.

Uh, yeah, consulting services, information services, network services, support services. So information services. So before I decided, you know what, maybe I should give this radio thing a try. And I was in the college of management. I was doing management information systems. And I tried to get a job with InterPath that went nowhere because I had like zero experience and my grades sucked. So I decided, let's try this radio thing instead. Perfect. No longer there. No longer there. But yeah, let me give you those updates in the back of the press box and be really loud. I know. You'll never forget those situations. Now you're working with me and I'm doing dumb graphics like this.

Two Joe's, one cup. Coverage continues tonight, game game two between the New Jersey Devils and the Carolina Hurricanes.

One other quick hockey note, I think you, me, and Luke were all in agreement that Washington might lose a little steam after the whole Alexander Ovechkin thing.

Yeah.

And Montreal looked like they came back and they just shook Washington. They go to overtime. I'm thinking, man, Montreal is going to take this one game. Game one in Washington. Montreal's going to steal this thing. And then I forgot, oh, yeah, Alexander Ovechkin is still freaking good. Whoops. Well, it was like the regular season and felt like Washington trying to prove to you. No, look, look, no, no, no, really, we're more than just Ovi in his goal chase. And then, of course, he scores a power play goal. And he scores again. And then he gets the winner. So that's where we're at. Yesterday also felt a little bit like a transaction day and college sports. Cooper flies going pro. Are you surprised? I know. It's surprising. No.

So you know how they space these things out. So like last week, Con Canipal announces that

he is going. And then we find out Tyre's Proctor, he's going. And then yesterday,

around 1230 after I hit publish on the podcast, Cooper Flag is going pro. Shocker. It's going to be the number one pick in the draft. So this gets into the area. What's different? What am I going to try to find interesting here? Because what really can you say about Cooper Flag at this point? It's going to be the number one pick in the draft. You've had a good season at Duke. We'll see where it writes over time.

And I've noticed a trend.

Remember, the Brotherhood was the thing for the longest time.

And they still on the graphic. If you're watching on YouTube, I've got the Duke basketball official account on Twitter with their official graphic because everything's about graphics in 2025 with the Utes.

Yes.
