After a brutal west coast swing that saw UNC winless in California, the Tar Heels returned to the friendly confines of Eastern Standard Time. Picking up an expected win at home against an outmatched Notre Dame team shook off some of the bad feelings that surrounded the program, however it was the major come-from-behind win on the road against a high-caliber UVa squad that showed that this squad may still have a say in the conference. Sean Moran and Sherrell McMillan join Joey Powell to assess just how much of a turnaround the past week may mean. The Coast to Coast is delivered by Salvio's Pizzeria in Cary. The Caleb Wilson Segment is presented by Alex Swire-Clark.   This show is brought to you by Inside Carolina, the No. 1 site for UNC sports coverage and community.

DOES TED HAVE A SOUL??? Ted 2 Full Movie Reaction Watch Along:   / thereelrejects   TED (2012) Movie Reaction:    • TED (2012) MOVIE REACTION –WE DIDN'T EXPEC...   Gift Someone (Or Yourself) An RR Tee! https://shorturl.at/hekk2 After catching up with the original film, Greg, John, & Jon are BACK for more raunchy madness as they give their Ted 2 Reaction, Recap, Analysis, Breakdown, Commentary, & Spoiler Review!! Greg Alba, John Humphrey, & Jon Maturan react to Ted 2 (2015), the outrageous comedy sequel written and directed by Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy, A Million Ways to Die in the West). Picking up years after the original film, Ted 2 doubles down on absurd humor while surprisingly shifting into a satirical courtroom drama about civil rights, identity, and what it truly means to be a “person.” The story follows Ted (voiced by Seth MacFarlane – Family Guy, American Dad!) after he marries his longtime girlfriend Tami-Lynn (Jessica Barth – Ted, The Haunting of Molly Hartley), only to face a legal crisis when he's ruled property rather than a person and stripped of his basic rights. His best friend John Bennett (Mark Wahlberg – The Departed, Lone Survivor) steps in to help, alongside young lawyer Samantha Leslie Jackson (Amanda Seyfried – Mamma Mia!, Les Misérables), whose pop-culture obsession becomes central to Ted's legal defense. The film is packed with hilarious & infamous moments, including the Comic-Con courtroom showdown, Ted's brutal roast of John's maturity, the wild fertility subplot, and the over-the-top climax involving corporate villain Donny (Giovanni Ribisi – Avatar, Saving Private Ryan). With celebrity cameos, no-holds-barred jokes, and a surprisingly earnest emotional core, Ted 2 leans into both satire and shock value in ways that set it apart from the original. While more divisive than its predecessor, Ted 2 remains a bold sequel that blends raunchy comedy with social commentary, proving Seth MacFarlane's talking teddy bear still has plenty to say—loudly.

“Flat earth is just a troll thing, right? People don't really believe that…”   Picking up right where we left off on our previous HEAVY METAL HIGH SCHOOL REUNION episode with even more stories of metal nostalgia and teenage retardity as we reflect on the pressing issues of the day during our high school residency.    “The bathrooms are over there, Everest is over there, and you've gotta be this high to ride the ride…”   From the discovery journeys that led us to our favorite bands to the band that was considered “the next level of ‘Shout At The Devil'”, we go further down the rabbit hole and assess how the 70's factored into our respective musical paths as well as uncover a potentially jarring shortlist of metal (and non-metal) bands that were hugely popular that we just didn't (and/or couldn't) connect with.   “…AKA The Flat Earth Emporium.”   Find out what it's like to enjoy “a little Mr. Black with some Elijah Craig on top”, discover why having hellions for children means “they're gonna be good prayerents when they get older”, understand that sometimes you're just not “mature enough to appreciate Reign In Blood” (especially if you “didn't have enough pubes to handle it”), and realize that flat earth people can be a great resource for discovering new music when you JOIN US for ROUND 2 of the HEAVY METAL HIGH SCHOOL REUNION BUNKERPOON BLOWOUT BONANZA!!!

https://teachhoops.com/ Picking a defense is not about what you, as a coach, like to run; it is about what your current roster is physically and mentally capable of executing at a high level. A successful defensive identity begins with an honest "personnel audit" where you evaluate your team's lateral quickness, interior rim protection, and overall basketball IQ. If you have a roster full of long, rangy athletes but lack a traditional "big," a disruptive, switching Man-to-Man or a high-pressure 1-2-2 zone may be your best bet to force turnovers. Conversely, if you have a slower, more disciplined group, a "Pack Line" style or a 2-3 zone can help you wall off the paint and force opponents into low-percentage outside shots. By aligning your system with your players' natural strengths, you ensure they play with the confidence and aggression required to get stops. Beyond your own roster, selecting a defense for a specific game requires a deep dive into the opponent's "shot profile" and offensive tendencies. In the heart of conference play in January, you must be prepared to pivot your defensive strategy to neutralize an opponent's primary threat. If you are facing an elite scoring guard who thrives on ball screens, you might choose to "Hard Hedge" or "Blitz" those actions to get the ball out of their hands. If the opponent struggles with perimeter shooting but dominates the glass, a sagging zone that prioritizes rebounding positioning might be the tactical edge you need. The best coaches have a "base" defense that defines their culture, but they possess the flexibility to implement "junk defenses" like a Box-and-One or a Triangle-and-Two to disrupt the rhythm of an elite individual scorer. Finally, the defense you pick must be sustainable and scalable throughout the duration of a long season. It is better to be elite at one defensive system than mediocre at four different ones. Simplicity in your defensive rules allows your players to communicate more effectively and react instinctively rather than thinking their way through a possession. As you move toward the postseason, your defense should become your team's "safety net"—the one thing they can rely on when the shots aren't falling. By using member calls and film study to refine your rotations and "closeout contain" techniques, you build a defensive unit that is difficult to scout and even harder to score against. Ultimately, the right defense is the one that your players "own" and believe in with absolute conviction.

Reaction to ESPN's NFL Live crew picking against the Patriots

https://teachhoops.com/ Picking the right trap is less about the "X's and O's" of the formation and more about the "Who, When, and Where" of the game's momentum. A trap is most effective when it serves as a calculated surprise rather than a predictable pattern; if you trap every possession, a disciplined team will eventually find the open man and make you pay. The ideal moment to pick a trap is often during a "dead-ball" transition or immediately following a made basket when the opponent's lead guard is slightly casual with their entry. By identifying the weakest ball-handler on the floor and timing your trap to catch them near the sideline or the "coffin corner," you maximize the psychological pressure and increase the likelihood of a panicked pass or a 10-second violation. The "Where" of the trap is just as critical as the "When," with the half-court line and the corners acting as your "third defender." A successful trap should aim to pin the ball-handler against a boundary, effectively cutting off their vision and limiting their passing lanes. Coaches should drill the "No-Split" rule, ensuring that the two trappers are knee-to-knee and utilizing active, high hands to mirror the ball without reaching for a foul. When you pick a trap in the mid-court area, it forces the offense into cross-court "skip passes" that are high-risk and high-reward for your interceptors. Mastering these specific "trap zones" in January ensures your defense has the versatility to disrupt an opponent's rhythm during the high-stakes conference schedule. Finally, the decision to pick a trap must be rooted in your team's current personnel and the specific scouting report of the opponent. If you are facing a team with a dominant, high-IQ point guard, trapping may be your only way to get the ball out of their hands and force the "other" players to make decisions. However, a trap is only as good as the rotation behind it. Your three "interceptors" must be fully committed to reading the ball-handler's eyes and anticipating the escape pass. By using member calls and film study to identify which opponents struggle with "hot" pressure, you can strategically implement different traps—like the "Diamond" or "1-2-1-1"—to turn a close game into a blowout in a matter of minutes.

TO PURCHASE VINNIE'S WORKOUT VIDEOS, CLICK THIS LINK workout videos Cardio vs. Strength Training Where does a beginner start? (5:00) Just start with what you know you can do. If you are sedentary, start with a short walk and gradually increase it each time. Your aerobic vs anaerobic capacity is different things. (9:00) Vinnie gives a list of the variety of things that qualify as each. There are different benefits to cardio and strength training. (17:00) What is recommended? Picking one focus and sticking to it (for example, cardio), or finding a balance between cardio *and* strength training to start? (22:00) Vinnie shares his brother Mark's journey. (23:00) Sometimes, you really do have to start with "baby steps" and grow into the routine. Vinnie likes to consider Zone 2 (70-80% of your cardiac capacity) as cardio; however, if someone is starting, any walk will help them get started. (36:00) In strength training, it can be intoxicating to feel yourself get stronger. (39:00) You will feel the strength before you start seeing visible gains. (43:00) The Zones Vinnie describes the Five Zones; however, you only need to pay attention to four of them. (47:30) The calculation to find Zone 2 (with the Maffetone method) is: 180 - (your age) = desired heart rate, or beats per minute. If you are already active, you can add about five more points to the desired heart rate. Before starting any exercise program, it is highly recommended that you see your doctor first and have a stress test. If you are eating correctly, such as with NSNG®, exercise will help build lean muscle mass. (59:00) More is not always better; sometimes, more recovery is better. (1:01:00) Vinnie recommends 4 or 5 hours a week for cardio, unless you are training for a marathon or similar competition.

In this Omni Talk Retail episode, recorded live from NRF 2026 at the Vusion booth, Jacob Tveraabak, Group Chief Executive Officer of StrongPoint, joins Anne Mezzenga and Chris Walton to discuss how in-store order picking, grocery efficiency, and store-based fulfillment are becoming critical to profitable grocery ecommerce. Jacob explains why grocery presents a fundamentally different operational challenge than other retail categories, driven by high item velocity, low margins, and large basket sizes. Drawing on StrongPoint's Scandinavian roots, he shares how high labor costs have forced retailers to engineer ultra-efficient picking solutions and why those lessons are increasingly relevant for U.S. grocers. Key Topics Covered: -Why grocery order picking requires a fundamentally different technology approach -How labor costs drive efficiency and innovation in Scandinavian retail -The role of in-store picking in profitable grocery ecommerce -Store-based fulfillment vs centralized fulfillment centers -Integrating order picking with shelf visibility and store data -Reducing substitution, mis-picks, and wasted labor -How connected store infrastructure improves execution at scale -Why stores are becoming the backbone of future grocery fulfillment Thank you to Vusion for supporting Omni Talk Retail's live coverage from NRF 2026, and thank you to our listeners for tuning in throughout the week. #NRF2026 #StrongPoint #GroceryRetail #OrderPicking #StoreBasedFulfillment #RetailOperations #ConnectedStores #RetailTechnology #OmniTalkRetail

Why Customer Experience Is Your Hidden Profit Center  Shep interviews Ty Givens, Founder of CX Collective. She talks about how contact centers can be transformed into growth engines by proactively addressing customer needs and empowering employees through training.  This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more:    How can frontline customer service representatives be empowered to act as the face of a brand?  How does training impact the effectiveness and efficiency of customer support teams?  What are the main benefits of proactive customer experience versus reactive customer service?  How can technology, such as AI, improve resolution times for common customer issues?  How can businesses educate customers to use digital support channels for faster issue resolution?  Top Takeaways:    Every employee interacting with a customer becomes the face of the company. Train employees on their role to represent and support the brand. When someone calls with a problem, regardless of who is at fault,  it is their responsibility to make things right and create a positive experience for the customer.   When you start using customer service as a listening tool, it stops being a cost and becomes a way to improve processes for employees and experiences for customers.   Feedback can be silent. Pay attention to what your customers are saying and what they are not saying. Sometimes, customers hint at underlying problems without saying it. Picking up on context and clues can help solve issues faster and even improve services in the future.   Customer service becomes proactive by paying attention to feedback and patterns that allow you can fix issues before the next customer gets upset. Pay attention to what features or products your customers love to use. Identify the features customers don't interact with so you can either improve them or focus your resources elsewhere.  A simple mistake, such as leaving an item out of an order, can lead to angry calls, extra costs to fix the problem, and even lost customers. Training employees to understand how their actions affect the entire customer journey helps reduce errors. Even small improvements can save costs and keep customers and employees happier.  Investing in your employees expands their capabilities in helping customers. Even thirty minutes spent learning a new skill or understanding a customer's needs, once every month or two, can save time and money in the long run.   Plus, Shep and Ty discuss more ways a call center can drive growth and revenue. Tune in!  Quote:   "In most companies, the customer service team is the only function that has direct, one-to-one conversations with customers. This makes them a powerful source of insight, not just from what customers say, but from what they don't say. Teach your team to actively listen, read between the lines, and recognize opportunities to improve the customer experience."  About:    Ty Givens is the founder of CX Collective. She helps leaders turn inefficient processes into reliable, human-centered systems that boost team productivity and customer loyalty.  Shep Hyken is a customer service and experience expert, New York Times bestselling author, award-winning keynote speaker, and host of Amazing Business Radio.    Learn more about your ad choices.
