Episode 26 is LIVE! 🎙️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gw7bv87KNbo

This week on The Closing Table, Doug and Ben break down one of the biggest weeks in sports while also tackling real estate, college athletics, and a North Carolina food debate that could divide the audience.

The Stanley Cup Final may have turned on Game 4. Whether the Hurricanes grabbed momentum or found themselves in a deeper hole, the conversation around the series has completely changed.

The guys also discuss the latest mortgage rate and oil update, including rates pulling back after recent highs and what that means for buyers trying to make sense of an increasingly unpredictable market.

On the basketball side, the NBA Finals continue between the Knicks and Spurs. Is this series headed for seven games, and who ultimately brings home the trophy?

Plus:
🏈 The Texas Tech quarterback ruling that has college sports questioning whether the NCAA can still enforce its own rules
⚾ Have youth sports become too much for today's families?
🍔 FOOD FIGHT: What's the best Cook Out milkshake flavor, and which one is the most overrated?
🏟️ Could North Carolina realistically host a Super Bowl someday?
🎾 French Open recap, surprise storylines, and what we'll remember most from this year's tournament

What's your biggest takeaway this week?

🏒 Did Game 4 decide the Stanley Cup Final?
🏀 Knicks or Spurs? Who wins the NBA Finals?
🏡 Are mortgage rates finally moving in the right direction?
🏈 If the NCAA can't enforce gambling rules, what rules can it enforce?
⚾ Have youth sports become too expensive and too intense?
🍔 FOOD FIGHT: Best Cook Out milkshake flavor? Most overrated flavor?
🏟 Could North Carolina ever host a Super Bowl?
🎾 Biggest surprise from the French Open?
