  • Freddie - Duke Report
    Awesome Podcast 5 Stars!
    I’m late to finally giving 5 stars only and writing a review. Hey I was today years old when I figured out how to finally find where to write the review lol. Anyway this is THE sports podcast for Triangle Sports! Whether you are a Duke, Unc, NC State, Canes, or Panthers fan… or a mix of the above - Ovies and Giglio bring the content I look forward to listening to or watching every week as a sports fan. Hey I’m a Duke and Canes fan but I still enjoy the coverage of Unc, State and the ACC to stay in the know. It’s not only the sports content that keeps me coming back to listen to every podcast but it’s the unique conversations they have that truly make this my #1 pod as it feels like a sports pod family. As a guy who runs an outdoor business this pod makes the work week go by that much smoother and for that I’m very thankful. I’ll keep on listening every pod until I reach that time for unlimited mexi melts in heaven. Freddie - Duke Report

    Profanity
    I enjoy the profanity. Keep it up.
  • Another one opinion
    One opinion- I agree
    The profanity distracts me from what I want to hear - reasoned sports analysis

    Carolina Podcast
    Y’all have Law of the Wolf, y’all need a Carolina podcast.
  • Justin Blackwelder
    Joe and Joe achieve their final form
    I stopped listening to 99.9 the fan because 1) incredibly long commercials and 2) you could always tell these guys weren’t truly allowed to be themselves. WELL GUESS WHAT…chains are off. Y’all keep being you and keep having fun.
  • JPGOPACK
    Love the guys but can’t play the show in my car due to cursing and my kids
    Explicit language adds nothing to the show. Will tune back in once you guys tone it down.
  • joshj738282
    Great stuff
    Found Ovies & Giglio a year ago and I’ve loved the way they understand and can speak to local fanbases in their own terms.
  • WolfpackWildcat
    Great podcast, but…
    I would have given y’all 5 stars, but the constant reference to NC State “stuff” is played. Get some new material. Tired of NC State being your go to punching bag
  • TheBigRRR
    Great pod
    Love this pod! Keep up the great chatter.
  • Sport radio
    The lady
    The lady who is on show today isn’t good. Anybody but her.
  • Lebaster
    Local Sports focus
    These two guys were my favorite radio sports personalities pre-podcast. The Podcast format is even better for their style. They have lots of great discussions, especially on local and state sports.
  • NCNATIVESON
    Here for the sports? Or the Vibes?
    Never been a big fan of the teams that Joe and Joe cover on the pod, but I’m a bigger fan of both guys. Been following Ovies for years, mostly for the hot takes. Been following Giglio for a shorter amount of time, yellow pad is the move! Show is never boring and they keep it moving. Great afternoon pod to get me through the end of the work day! Keep it going Joe’s!
  • MattyIceSpice
    5 Stars Only
    These guys deliver episode after episode. Keep the vibes positive only!
  • SoPinesHeel
    If you love sports with an emphasis on the Triangle teams…
    This is the podcast for you. My favorite for coverage of all the Triangle area teams. Highly recommend.
  • Suffering Pack Fan
    5 Star Show!
    The best follow for triangle sports teams.
  • BWagoner17
    The “sacrifice” provides
    These dudes just get it. Been listening and following for a long time and have always enjoyed what Joe^2 have to say. 5 stars, positive vibes, all of the above.
  • TechnoPen
    OG Rules
    This is the best sports show in the Triangle. If you are an old school ACC fan, you will love their take and humor on all things ACC sports.
  • Bill cmore
    Long leaf legends
    Gents, fantastic coverage this week. I want to hate on giglio so bad but I cannot. Well done
  • robinwms
    The best around
    Best local sportscast in the Triangle! I appreciate not only their knowledge but their enjoyment of local sports. Love listening.
  • Mikey in DFW
    Protect The Fortress!!
    Nobody “gets” their market better than Joe and Joe. Between ACC Basketball and those Bunch of Jerks, the Carolina Hurricanes, and yes, even the hapless Carolina Panthers, Ovies & Giglio are dialed in with their audience and their content. Throw in a super fun rotation of supporting characters, and there’s nobody I’d rather tune into to stay caught up with the motherland from afar. Hey Joe, these guys are awesome.
  • Gamecock Fan 1
    Hornets talk please 🐝
    Love the show but for the love of God can we have some Hornets discussion? It’s positive vibes only in Buzz City, perfect time for y’all to talk Hornets. Get my guy Nata on the show please and thank you. I mean seriously if y’all gone talk freakin panthers at least show some love to the actual pro team.
  • Timmy Anne
    Best Triangle Sports Takes
    Love Joe & Joe, and they have so many great guests! This is a must listen if you’re into North Carolina sports teams and/or the ACC. Live Thursday shows and Brownlow segments are my favorite! Thanks y’all!!
  • GattacaFan
    Great show
    I’ve really enjoyed listening to these guys, they’re very knowledgeable about Triangle sports. I love the ACC talk.
  • Trishey04
    Double Tar Heel. Love the show.
    Love the local sports coverage. Also, took the advice from the fantasy football expert who was on in the summer and won my league! Thanks for the helpful info!
  • DMS6391
    5 stars only
    Giglio is right about the ACC divisions. He’s also right about Aaron Rodgers. This isn’t a Giglio burner. Love the show.
  • mrbricio
    Great Local/NC Show
    Loved listening over the radio, but even more convenient now. Great local color and perspective. Kudos & cheers
  • Jwritter
    Stick to Triangle topics
    Incredibly knowledgeable about Triangle sports and really enjoy that discourse. Only negative comment is Ovies inserting topics into the agenda he can underhandedly insert his political tastes into (no one around here cares about what Aaron Rodgers is doing!!!)
  • hokie1994

    The show is even better now as a podcast than on the radio!

    The definitive source for college & pro sports in the Triangle
    No better source for NC State, UNC, Duke, Wake Forest, Carolina Hurricanes and Panthers. Nuff said. Just download and listen.
  • NYC person 123
    Must listen for triangle sports fan
    Moved to the west coast and it’s the only way I can get some good conversation around triangle sports.
  • Robarific
    There is fairness in the world
    One of life’s simple pleasures is checking in on JO to see that he is languishing in continued mediocrity and local obscurity with the light and life of a career of what ifs slowly fading into the distance. You make me feel better about my own shortcomings.
  • BlackOtus
    Living under a rock
    I am out of the Raleigh market now and living under a rock apparently—so I’m just now realizing these guys no longer are on The Fan. Big mistake by Capital Broadcasting in my opinion. Will be listening on here and on YouTube from now on. Keep the whiskey flowing, boys.
  • RentFern
    Makes me feel connected to the Triangle
    Great show and amazing content. Living on the West coast, Ovies & Giglio keep me connected to Triangle Sports, especially NC State 🐺🔴⚪️
  • Tar Heel2015
    Best Raleigh sports talk
    The best place to go for broad based talk about triangle and N.C. sports. I wouldn’t say it’s unbiased, but it’s pretty equally biased and enjoyable. Would be an interesting endeavor if these 2 could be put on a radio.
  • B Wade.
    Got me into Podcast!
    Listened to Ovies on sports radio for almost a decade. Radio really sucked without both of these guys so started listening to their podcast. These guys do a great job of providing triangle sports insight without dumb takes or babbling on about one subject the entire show.
  • Mike Argh
    A sincere thank you for providing great triangle sports coverage
    Always informative, entertaining & the best way to not miss anything related to triangle sports
  • prpetten1
    Great to hear Triangle Sports out here in Cali
    Great stuff!
  • DisneyDuchess
    A touch of home

  • bigoig12
    Awesome
    If you have any interest in NC sports or the ACC this is the podcast for you. Informative and entertaining at the same time.
  • WolfpackRx
    Positive Vibes only!
    Huge fan of the podcast, got my sticker a while back and just received my Skyhawks themed shirt in the mail!
  • dbass13
    Great local sports podcast
    Fell out of listening local sports radio when I started working from home. Podcasts work much better these days, and this is my go-to for Triangle (and NC) sports. Consistently entertaining and informative, without ridiculous “hot takes” to just get a reaction from people. Really love the podcast!
  • bennymac01
    Best sports show in the ACC
    The Joes are not only knowledgeable in their field, but what they say, people listen to. Their mix of humor, history, analysis, and regular round of guests make for a fun listening experience. Plus, they are two of the nicest guys in the business.
  • Reitz7
    Great Show !
    Awesome job guys. Love the show !
  • Kevin in Maryland
    Listening from the DMV
    This is a must-listen for keeping up with local sports in Raleigh-Durham. I’ve lived in DC for more than 20 years, but I spent my formative days as an aspiring sports reporter reading Giglio in the N&O and hearing Ovies doing the ticker on 850 as an intern. I know it’s a vicious business, which is why I’m no longer in it, so I’m glad to see them doing doing their own thing and having intelligent, well-reasoned takes. I’m also a Chris Wilcox-era Enloe marching band alum, so I appreciate Ovies’s shoutouts to the Eagles.
  • StuScottFan
    Good Guys, Good Banter, Good Info
    The first time I commented to Giglio was not a positive interaction and I bet the same was true for Ovies, but we have all grown up. Joe & Joe stick to what they know but keep expanding what they know. For Triangle sports, culture and humorous but informed takes, this is my go-to.
  • packfan~123
    Best show in the triangle
    Pure authentic insight and banter.. love it
  • tmic0723
    Enjoying the podcast!
    Really enjoying this podcast. Love the local focus with them also hitting national sports topics. Great variety of guests. Never listened to their radio show, but I do enjoy the podcast format! Give it a listen.
