Return After Break
00:00:00
Speaker
All right.
00:00:01
Speaker
Welcome back to the Fresh Cakes podcast, man.
00:00:03
Speaker
We're back.
00:00:04
Speaker
We had a little illness, hiatus, you could call it.
00:00:08
Speaker
You could call it sick leave.
00:00:10
Speaker
I don't know.
00:00:11
Speaker
Pancakes, you know this.
00:00:12
Speaker
I don't know if our listeners know.
00:00:14
Speaker
In our contract with you guys as listeners, we do have a certain number of sick days built in to our contract.
00:00:21
Speaker
And we used a few of those.
00:00:22
Speaker
And we're sorry about it, but we're back now, aren't we?
00:00:25
Speaker
We are.
00:00:25
Speaker
You know, I was in the ER yesterday and I'm here recording this today, but you know, it's all right.
00:00:30
Speaker
We're fine.
00:00:31
Speaker
I got the Zofran and I'm ready to go.
00:00:33
Speaker
I'm hydrated.
00:00:34
Speaker
You're off injured reserve, man.
00:00:35
Speaker
Let's get this going.
00:00:36
Speaker
You know, so what are we talking about?
00:00:38
Speaker
Yeah.
00:00:39
Speaker
Yeah.
00:00:39
Speaker
You're back in the lineup.
00:00:41
Speaker
What do we have today?
Playback Platform Stars
00:00:43
Speaker
Well, today we have an exciting new announcement that we're going to talk about right here in a second.
00:00:49
Speaker
We have Fanatics somehow getting a 10-year contract for making jerseys for the NHL that I don't understand.
00:00:56
Speaker
We have Lamar Jackson, and he wants to be traded fresh and maybe going to the Patriots?
00:01:03
Speaker
Maybe.
00:01:03
Speaker
I don't know.
00:01:05
Speaker
We'll see.
00:01:06
Speaker
And some Final Four talk and the return of pet picks coming up this weekend.
00:01:11
Speaker
Big.
00:01:11
Speaker
It's big.
00:01:13
Speaker
big deal.
00:01:14
Speaker
What's going on?
00:01:15
Speaker
Anything happening Thursday, this Thursday?
00:01:18
Speaker
Oh, well, that leads us into our brand new announcement fresh, which is that you and I, on top of being podcasters now, we are stars on a new platform called Playback.
00:01:31
Speaker
Yep, we sure are.
00:01:33
Speaker
They onboard us.
00:01:34
Speaker
It's in beta testing now, but
00:01:36
Speaker
You can watch live games legally and we're going to give that a try on Thursday.
00:01:42
Speaker
So we'll have links on that on Twitter, et cetera.
00:01:47
Speaker
And TikTok and whatnot.
00:01:50
Speaker
And come check us out, man.
00:01:51
Speaker
We're just going to be watching Celtics box top two seeds in the East, just banging it out.
00:01:58
Speaker
It'll be like you're sitting there watching it with us, you know, cause you're going to see our faces.
00:02:02
Speaker
We're going to be reacting to the game.
00:02:04
Speaker
We aren't censored on that app.
00:02:06
Speaker
So Fresh is probably going to get a little bit rowdy and get a little rowdy.
00:02:11
Speaker
If you want to find stage, let you talk.
00:02:13
Speaker
Oh yeah.
00:02:13
Speaker
We'll bring you on stage.
00:02:15
Speaker
Yep.
00:02:15
Speaker
We'll get some people, highlight some people.
00:02:18
Speaker
And if you want to know what bring on stage means, then you just need to drop in.
00:02:21
Speaker
And the link to that, if you are lazy, like maybe fresh sometimes and don't feel like going Twitter or any of our other links, that direct link is playback.tv slash fresh cakes Thursday at 730.
00:02:35
Speaker
Boom.
00:02:35
Speaker
I wouldn't call it lazy.
00:02:38
Speaker
I'm just creatively different.
00:02:40
Speaker
You know, I don't know if it's lazy.
00:02:42
Speaker
Gotcha.
00:02:42
Speaker
Gotcha.
00:02:43
Speaker
Is that what they call it in 2023?
00:02:45
Speaker
I don't know.
00:02:46
Speaker
I don't know.
00:02:47
Speaker
Sounds all right to me.
00:02:49
Speaker
All right, so I'm going to let you fire off on Fanatics here because I know this hits home.
Fanatics' NHL Jersey Deal
00:02:54
Speaker
It does.
00:02:54
Speaker
So Fanatics has scored a deal with the NHL to make jerseys starting in the 2024-2025 season.
00:03:03
Speaker
And this worries me fresh for a lot of reasons.
00:03:06
Speaker
When I first heard that the contract was up for Adidas,
00:03:10
Speaker
I was filled with excitement, you know, to think about who the potentials could be.
00:03:14
Speaker
Could it be Nike?
00:03:15
Speaker
Could it be Reebok?
00:03:17
Speaker
Could it be Under Armour?
00:03:18
Speaker
Or even the best option to me was, could we go back to the CCM days of NHL jerseys, which were awesome, but no fresh.
00:03:26
Speaker
We were getting fanatics and it's not like a couple year deal.
00:03:30
Speaker
They're going to try it out.
00:03:30
Speaker
It's 10 years.
00:03:32
Speaker
So imagine if they're awful, which I'm not trying to be negative here, but I think they might be, it's going to be 10 years of just hating Jersey production for the NHL, which just really grinds my gears.
00:03:45
Speaker
I've heard some weird things on some things we've looked up where like they'll send a Jersey or shirt to like an old address that you had in your profile with them or something.
00:03:56
Speaker
Um,
00:03:57
Speaker
Or you have a specific example, I guess.
00:04:00
Speaker
I've seen the pictures of that.
00:04:02
Speaker
That looks a little crazy to me.
00:04:04
Speaker
I got a stadium series hoodie for the hurricanes because it went on sale.
00:04:09
Speaker
And now I guess I know maybe why it went on sale.
00:04:12
Speaker
And the, the fanatics picture on the website fresh was so different than what I received.
00:04:18
Speaker
As you saw, I sent you the website and then I sent you what actually came.
00:04:23
Speaker
And if you guys are interested in that, I'll put it on our Instagram stories and on our Twitter.
00:04:27
Speaker
So you can just see the atrocity that I was sent.
00:04:30
Speaker
I just imagine having that with, yeah, like the colors are off.
00:04:34
Speaker
It's super thin.
00:04:36
Speaker
That's not on the picture.
00:04:37
Speaker
There's like that V-neck thing above the ties too, which is not on the picture.
00:04:40
Speaker
Like, yeah, it's interesting.
00:04:42
Speaker
It's super weird.
00:04:43
Speaker
And can you imagine that happening with jerseys?
00:04:45
Speaker
Like I already have like, I would say like an eye for detail when it comes to jerseys because I'm a big fan of jerseys.
00:04:52
Speaker
And I'm one of those people, like I go authentic.
00:04:54
Speaker
When I buy the jersey, you know what I mean?
00:04:56
Speaker
I want to feel.
00:04:57
Speaker
You want the real thing.
00:04:58
Speaker
Yeah.
00:04:58
Speaker
Yeah.
00:04:59
Speaker
Like I'm on the ice with them.
00:05:00
Speaker
I'll never be, but you know, I want to feel like it.
00:05:03
Speaker
And the Fanatics breakaway jerseys are so different than like the authentic jerseys.
00:05:09
Speaker
Like the color is off.
00:05:11
Speaker
Like the stitching is just not the same quality.
00:05:15
Speaker
So I'm really bummed about this fresh and I may need consoling in 2024 when they roll these out.
00:05:21
Speaker
Did I see that right though, that they may not really be out till like 2026 or something with changes in the factories that are making them or whatever?
00:05:29
Speaker
Like a little bit of a murky area, right?
00:05:32
Speaker
Well, the thing is that they're going to start, I think, putting maybe more of the fanatics changes in in 2026.
00:05:39
Speaker
But as of 2024, they're not going to be able to, you know, use the materials or the technology that Adidas did because that that's Adidas own.
00:05:48
Speaker
So they're going to use the same factory.
00:05:50
Speaker
However, that's not that.
00:05:51
Speaker
That doesn't mean much to me because the factory is just in charge of the production.
00:05:55
Speaker
You know what I mean?
00:05:56
Speaker
They're going to have to follow the instructions of whatever they get from Fanatics just as they followed the instructions from Adidas, who to me is a way higher end brand and more reputable than Fanatics.
00:06:07
Speaker
And I think it really solidified fresh for me that I'm just going to have to get another authentic jersey, like a custom one before Fanatics takes over.
00:06:17
Speaker
Maybe that's their idea is everyone's just going to be like, you know what?
00:06:20
Speaker
I'm buying everything I can buy right now, dude.
00:06:22
Speaker
Yeah.
00:06:23
Speaker
And I might have to do that too.
00:06:24
Speaker
And even just for the podcast, I'd do that just for the comparison, you know?
00:06:29
Speaker
I think I will Bruins jersey too.
00:06:31
Speaker
I'll think I'll get Bruins jersey before they go to shit and fanatics, but Cain's first.
00:06:36
Speaker
Yeah, of course.
00:06:37
Speaker
No, I hear you.
00:06:38
Speaker
That makes sense.
00:06:41
Speaker
So what if the Patriots got a new quarterback?
Lamar Jackson Trade Rumors
00:06:45
Speaker
I don't even know if I like saying that.
00:06:47
Speaker
I think you should like saying that because I don't know that Mac Jones is the guy, but you know, the guy you're talking about.
00:06:53
Speaker
Third year is often the year that we see.
00:06:56
Speaker
They just need like one more receiver.
00:06:57
Speaker
They got Juju.
00:06:59
Speaker
You know, they got Kaseki at tight end now.
00:07:02
Speaker
Like,
00:07:03
Speaker
Could you imagine having Juju and Lamar Jackson on the same team, though?
00:07:07
Speaker
If he were to come, Meek Mill told Robert Kraft, you know, I don't know what kind of weight Meek Mill, you know, the rapper holds in the NFL with Robert Kraft.
00:07:16
Speaker
That's why we're, yeah, which is why we're talking about this.
00:07:18
Speaker
No, Meek Mill and Robert Kraft have been friends for years.
00:07:21
Speaker
That's like... Are they really?
00:07:23
Speaker
Friends, yeah.
00:07:23
Speaker
That's like, yeah.
00:07:24
Speaker
They're like out at events and stuff together.
00:07:26
Speaker
They're like...
00:07:27
Speaker
Literally.
00:07:27
Speaker
No way.
00:07:29
Speaker
Yeah.
00:07:30
Speaker
I'm not getting it off.
00:07:31
Speaker
He's from like Philadelphia.
00:07:33
Speaker
Why is he a Patriots fan?
00:07:34
Speaker
I don't know.
00:07:35
Speaker
I just think I craft likes to like party and stuff.
00:07:38
Speaker
Like they'll, they'll say like, they'll be at an event.
00:07:42
Speaker
I think even after his wedding, he like went out with everyone, like to like clubs until like 4am and he's old, but like, he's just, I don't know.
00:07:50
Speaker
I mean, he's a good chill guy, I guess.
00:07:52
Speaker
Like, but he milk, milk milk.
00:07:54
Speaker
Yeah.
00:07:54
Speaker
Look it up.
00:07:56
Speaker
It's worth a look up, but they're like actually friends and stuff.
00:08:00
Speaker
Not that many people have Robert Kraft's like direct phone number.
00:08:04
Speaker
Meek Mill obviously did to make this call and say, Lamar Jackson said he'd like to be a Patriot.
00:08:10
Speaker
You know, and there's so many hoops to jump through to get there.
00:08:13
Speaker
From like a cap perspective on the Patriot side, what they'd have to give up, how the negotiations would work with the Ravens and like, would Lamar have to sign?
00:08:25
Speaker
franchise tag and then be traded and then renegotiate with the Patriots.
00:08:30
Speaker
There's a lot of like deep shit that goes along with that.
00:08:33
Speaker
But I know this past year, Belichick was like infatuated with Lamar Jackson publicly before they played.
00:08:41
Speaker
Like, you know, it was like, I love this guy.
00:08:44
Speaker
I think Belichick respects passion like that.
00:08:48
Speaker
I mean, what do you think?
00:08:48
Speaker
I don't know, man.
00:08:49
Speaker
As a Patriots fan, I'm like, we already have Mac.
00:08:53
Speaker
See what he is or Zappi.
00:08:55
Speaker
I am not a Patriots fan, but I would love to see Lamar Jackson go to the Patriots because I think that it could be so cool to watch.
00:09:04
Speaker
It would be amazing.
00:09:05
Speaker
And he obviously wants to be somewhere else because he said on his Twitter that on March 2nd, he requested a trade.
00:09:12
Speaker
Right.
00:09:13
Speaker
Right.
00:09:13
Speaker
Which is interesting, too, because he's not under contract.
00:09:16
Speaker
Right.
00:09:16
Speaker
There's like a lot of.
00:09:18
Speaker
Yeah, it's weird.
00:09:19
Speaker
You're trying to, like, explain it to me, and it just, like... It's deep right now.
00:09:25
Speaker
It doesn't... Yeah, it's so deep.
00:09:27
Speaker
So, like, he's requesting a trade, but he's technically not under contract, but he's, like, got a non-exclusive franchise tag, so... Right.
00:09:35
Speaker
So he'd have to, like, I guess sign that and then be traded and then re-new... I would think that's how it works.
00:09:43
Speaker
It's very interesting.
00:09:45
Speaker
Yeah.
00:09:47
Speaker
Or could he just be like kind of traded because he was with the team?
00:09:50
Speaker
I don't know.
00:09:51
Speaker
I'm not a, I'm not a agent in the NFL.
00:09:54
Speaker
And there's a reason there's like, they've talked about NFL teams should only talk to certified NFL agents.
00:10:02
Speaker
And Lamar doesn't have an agent.
00:10:04
Speaker
So it's a little bit weird.
00:10:05
Speaker
I know his mother does a lot of that for him, but like, I didn't know he didn't have an agent.
00:10:09
Speaker
No, yeah, he doesn't.
00:10:10
Speaker
It's like his mom and like some people he works with and I'm sure they know their stuff, but.
00:10:15
Speaker
The NFL frowns up on that.
00:10:18
Speaker
Of course they do.
00:10:19
Speaker
I mean, like... Want their good old boys club to stay their good old boys club.
00:10:23
Speaker
And it's weird for me, for Lamar... Like, okay, first of all, obviously, would I want Lamar on the Patriots?
00:10:30
Speaker
Of course I would want Lamar on the Patriots.
00:10:32
Speaker
I mean, he's... If you look at a lot of Lamar clips, it's him destroying the Patriots.
00:10:37
Speaker
Like, embarrassing, really good legendary players from the Patriots.
00:10:42
Speaker
So, yeah, we want him.
00:10:44
Speaker
But, like...
00:10:45
Speaker
You know, you're giving up.
00:10:47
Speaker
It would be year three for Mac Jones.
00:10:49
Speaker
He was your first round pick.
00:10:50
Speaker
You're giving up on that already.
00:10:52
Speaker
That's kind of like if you're Belichick and you drafted him, that's kind of like admitting you screw up.
00:10:58
Speaker
I don't know if he wants to do that.
00:11:00
Speaker
I mean, what do you think?
00:11:02
Speaker
Is it worth like backing up the Brinks truck and just getting him in there somehow?
00:11:08
Speaker
I would rather him go to the Carolina Panthers so that I could, you know, go see him play.
00:11:15
Speaker
But if he doesn't go there, you know, sure.
00:11:17
Speaker
Why not for you?
00:11:18
Speaker
Second choice.
00:11:18
Speaker
But for me, selfishly, I would like to see him land in Carolina.
00:11:23
Speaker
Probably not going to happen.
00:11:24
Speaker
I have to think it's one of like the top, you know, like obviously what I watch Pat McAfee, I talk about it all the time, like the Colts are the fourth overall pick.
00:11:34
Speaker
you know, they need a guy, the Jets.
00:11:37
Speaker
I mean, what if the Jets slipped him in instead of Rodgers?
00:11:41
Speaker
That would be pretty crazy because this wasn't out when Rodgers made that thing that we talked about on our last episode.
00:11:47
Speaker
Like this tweet wasn't out by Lamar.
00:11:51
Speaker
So what if the Jets are like, wait a minute, you're leaving?
00:11:55
Speaker
Like you want to leave the Ravens?
00:11:56
Speaker
Like you're a lot younger than Aaron Rodgers is, you know, like why not give it a shot if you're the Jets?
00:12:04
Speaker
You think they're going to ask him?
00:12:05
Speaker
They'll be like, listen, how do you feel about darkness retreats?
00:12:08
Speaker
Yeah.
00:12:08
Speaker
And they'll be like, I don't know, man.
00:12:09
Speaker
I'm just fucking MVP.
00:12:11
Speaker
And I'm 25 years old.
00:12:14
Speaker
And Raj is 39.
00:12:17
Speaker
Just, you know, you know who you want to do, too.
00:12:20
Speaker
And I do think Lamar, like this whole thing with Lamar looks a little bit weird.
00:12:24
Speaker
It's not great for his image if I was an executive for an NFL team.
00:12:29
Speaker
I'd be like, it just seems difficult.
00:12:31
Speaker
He doesn't have an agent.
00:12:33
Speaker
It's very public.
00:12:34
Speaker
It hasn't been until very recently, but there's a lot of mystery there.
00:12:41
Speaker
I don't know.
00:12:42
Speaker
I don't know.
00:12:42
Speaker
But then again, he just seems like a guy who loves football, Lamar.
00:12:47
Speaker
And he's obviously phenomenal at it.
00:12:50
Speaker
So I don't know.
00:12:51
Speaker
I think any team would be happy to have him.
00:12:54
Speaker
I just think.
00:12:56
Speaker
Get an agent.
00:12:57
Speaker
Just get an agent, man.
00:12:58
Speaker
You'd be on a team tomorrow if you had an agent that knew the back channels to get into these teams.
00:13:06
Speaker
Does he say why he doesn't?
00:13:07
Speaker
Does he just not want to pay an agent?
00:13:10
Speaker
I guess that's like what the...
00:13:12
Speaker
Like what everyone thinks, I guess.
00:13:14
Speaker
Yeah.
00:13:14
Speaker
It's like, why pay a percentage when I earn this?
00:13:17
Speaker
And I do get that on some level, but it's also what like everyone does.
00:13:21
Speaker
So it's like, you know, not like, you know, Patrick Mahomes has an agent, Brady had an agent.
00:13:27
Speaker
Like, you know, it's just, I get it.
00:13:31
Speaker
And you've earned maybe one of the biggest contracts in NFL history and you've earned that and you deserve that, but get some help getting it or just come to the Patriots.
00:13:39
Speaker
Have mom call up.
00:13:42
Speaker
Have mom call up old bill.
00:13:45
Speaker
And get it done, man.
00:13:46
Speaker
You guys can have Mac Jones.
00:13:48
Speaker
Obviously you'd take Lamar over Mac Jones.
00:13:50
Speaker
So obviously I would, I would take Lamar over Aaron Rogers.
00:13:55
Speaker
Oh, of course.
00:13:55
Speaker
Yeah.
00:13:56
Speaker
You got a guy that's up and coming with something to prove over like a guy with one foot out the door.
00:14:01
Speaker
Yeah, or it's not even like you had to figure out if he even wanted to play again.
00:14:06
Speaker
Yeah, yeah.
00:14:08
Speaker
Lamar wasn't sitting in the dark for four days and then like, I don't know, almost begrudgingly coming back.
00:14:14
Speaker
It's like, I don't even know what the Jets are doing.
00:14:16
Speaker
I know we already talked about this, but it's like, what if you get him for one year?
00:14:20
Speaker
Like, what are you going to give?
00:14:21
Speaker
Why would you give up any assets to get maybe
Jets' Interest in Lamar Jackson
00:14:25
Speaker
a one year?
00:14:25
Speaker
He had to do a darkness retreat this year.
00:14:29
Speaker
See if he wants to come.
00:14:30
Speaker
What do you think's happening next year?
00:14:31
Speaker
He's just locked in all of a sudden, ready to go.
00:14:33
Speaker
Like, I don't get it, man.
00:14:35
Speaker
I don't need that.
00:14:35
Speaker
I don't want to anymore.
00:14:37
Speaker
I don't even want to put this idea out there that the Jets might get Lamar.
00:14:40
Speaker
Because, like, that would be a long road of pain for the Patriots if the Jets get Lamar.
00:14:45
Speaker
Do you even think he would want to go there, though?
00:14:47
Speaker
Like, if he's telling McMill he wants to go to the Patriots, I don't think that he would settle for the Jets.
00:14:53
Speaker
I think he wants somebody to, like,
00:14:56
Speaker
Well, the Jets have a, so I think the Jets are an attractive place right now for the first time, like in a long time.
00:15:03
Speaker
They have a really lot of young talent and Lamar is young talent.
00:15:08
Speaker
But I just think, I think Lamar and Belichick have like a mutual respect for each other, you know?
00:15:14
Speaker
And like, you don't see Belichick like publicly praise that many people.
00:15:18
Speaker
You know, and Lamar is one of them.
00:15:20
Speaker
And so I think it would be so crazy to have like a talent like Lamar with a mind like Belichick.
00:15:31
Speaker
It would be amazing, right?
00:15:32
Speaker
It'd be great for the NFL.
00:15:33
Speaker
Like you said, you're not even a Patriots fan.
00:15:35
Speaker
You're like, I'd get a jersey.
00:15:36
Speaker
Yeah.
00:15:37
Speaker
You told me that earlier.
00:15:38
Speaker
Like, so I don't know.
00:15:41
Speaker
And I guess as an NFL fan, but wherever he goes, it's going to be exciting.
00:15:44
Speaker
It's going to be good football.
00:15:45
Speaker
Yeah, as long as Fanatics isn't making the jerseys.
00:15:48
Speaker
Yeah.
00:15:48
Speaker
Yeah, likely they're not, right?
00:15:51
Speaker
So we're talking about cats, or we were talking about picks, and that reminds me of Ray Ray, who is a cat, because he won the NFL challenge against the dogs.
00:16:05
Speaker
You think dogs are going to come back?
00:16:07
Speaker
Who knows what this year's final four.
00:16:09
Speaker
I mean, look at this year's final four versus what people thought was going to happen.
00:16:14
Speaker
So for this year's final four, we have FAU, San Diego State, Miami, and UConn.
00:16:21
Speaker
And the only team that sounds like they should even be there is UConn.
00:16:26
Speaker
It's crazy.
00:16:26
Speaker
I've been to FAU.
00:16:27
Speaker
It's tiny.
00:16:28
Speaker
Like, it's...
00:16:30
Speaker
That's crazy that they're in there.
00:16:32
Speaker
It was almost like FGCU, which is on the west coast of Florida.
00:16:37
Speaker
FAU is on the east coast of Florida.
00:16:39
Speaker
Obviously, it's Florida Atlantic for a reason.
00:16:41
Speaker
But the only team that's not that crazy is UConn because we're used to them being really good.
NCAA Final Four Surprises
00:16:48
Speaker
All the other teams.
00:16:48
Speaker
And San Diego State always makes noise, but this is the furthest they've been in school history.
00:16:54
Speaker
I got to – if it's me, and I hope Ray's listening, my cat, but –
00:17:00
Speaker
I got to go UConn.
00:17:01
Speaker
I'm thinking kind of... Well, it's not about what you think, you know.
00:17:05
Speaker
Ray's got to pick.
00:17:05
Speaker
No, but I want to put it out there.
00:17:07
Speaker
Collision already.
00:17:08
Speaker
I'm calling collision.
00:17:10
Speaker
It is collision.
00:17:11
Speaker
I hope Ray's hearing me right now, taking notes with his pause.
00:17:15
Speaker
Yeah.
00:17:16
Speaker
No, I just want to... Who do you think out of all these teams?
00:17:19
Speaker
Who I think is going to win?
00:17:20
Speaker
Yeah, what do you think the final is, at least?
00:17:24
Speaker
Who's winning these final four games?
00:17:26
Speaker
San Diego State and UConn is what I think.
00:17:30
Speaker
Me too.
00:17:30
Speaker
I want to pick FAU, but I think San Diego State's team.
00:17:33
Speaker
Why do you want to pick FAU?
00:17:34
Speaker
Remember, they're the team that did the dunk at the end.
00:17:40
Speaker
I know people who went there.
00:17:42
Speaker
I just know people who went there, and I've been on that campus.
00:17:46
Speaker
I'm not kidding doing that in those final seconds.
00:17:49
Speaker
For those of you that didn't know, FAU, what was it, the other Cinderella team?
00:17:56
Speaker
I can't even remember their name off the top of my head because I have never seen it.
00:18:01
Speaker
It was Fair Dickinson, FDU.
00:18:02
Speaker
And...
00:18:04
Speaker
they beat them to go to the sweet 16 and this guy on the team in the final seconds.
00:18:11
Speaker
And they're up by like 10 points.
00:18:13
Speaker
And this guy did like a three 60, like slam dunk in the closing seconds.
00:18:17
Speaker
And he didn't even make it, but it to me, it just was like, okay, well that's not cool.
00:18:24
Speaker
So I, we talked about that last week when you like, you don't do that if you're not going to make it.
00:18:29
Speaker
Yeah.
00:18:29
Speaker
I just, they are like an explosive team.
00:18:33
Speaker
But San Diego State's more of a full team, I think, and their defense is – I mean, what they did to Alabama was pretty nuts.
00:18:40
Speaker
Yeah.
00:18:41
Speaker
I mean, it was impressive.
00:18:43
Speaker
UConn, San Diego State – I mean, like, I got to go.
00:18:47
Speaker
I hope San Diego State wins the whole thing.
00:18:49
Speaker
That's what I hope, too.
00:18:50
Speaker
This is already the furthest they've ever been.
00:18:53
Speaker
Yeah.
00:18:54
Speaker
And we've seen UConn win this thing.
00:18:56
Speaker
Like, it would be really cool to see, like, in school that's never –
00:19:00
Speaker
Ben to the finals, let alone the final four.
00:19:02
Speaker
Win the whole thing.
00:19:03
Speaker
Yeah.
00:19:04
Speaker
I'm not sure they were ever in the elite eight either.
00:19:06
Speaker
Like, um, that'd be pretty
Pets' Picks and Podcast Wrap-up
00:19:10
Speaker
cool.
00:19:10
Speaker
We'll see what Ray thinks and we'll see what, um, the doggos think.
00:19:14
Speaker
But who do you think the dogs are going to pick?
00:19:16
Speaker
I don't know.
00:19:17
Speaker
I don't collude like you do.
00:19:18
Speaker
I'm going to let them.
00:19:19
Speaker
They're their own minds.
00:19:21
Speaker
They're their own.
00:19:23
Speaker
They make the decisions they make and I don't influence it.
00:19:26
Speaker
I'm not sure I'm buying that.
00:19:27
Speaker
I'm not sure I'm buying that either.
00:19:29
Speaker
Although they picked the Eagles though.
00:19:32
Speaker
They did.
00:19:34
Speaker
But this is a different sport, man.
00:19:35
Speaker
You know, maybe dogs have a better understanding of basketball than cats do.
00:19:39
Speaker
They don't understand football that well, but maybe they got basketball down.
00:19:42
Speaker
I don't know.
00:19:43
Speaker
Yeah, they're bigger.
00:19:44
Speaker
They're bigger, right?
00:19:45
Speaker
They lean more towards their taller.
00:19:46
Speaker
My dog does love balls, like, you know, like the tennis balls and maybe like round balls.
00:19:51
Speaker
So maybe he's a bigger fan of basketball.
00:19:53
Speaker
Yeah, say tennis next time first.
00:19:57
Speaker
But I think, you know what?
00:19:59
Speaker
I'm confident in them.
00:20:00
Speaker
I think that basketball may be their thing.
00:20:02
Speaker
We'll see.
00:20:03
Speaker
We'll see on Saturday, won't we?
00:20:04
Speaker
Yeah, we sure will.
00:20:06
Speaker
We sure will, champ.
00:20:07
Speaker
And I think that's all we have for today, you know?
00:20:11
Speaker
Lamar Jackson, Patriots win the Super Bowl next year is probably mostly going to happen, I assume.
00:20:17
Speaker
Yeah.
00:20:18
Speaker
That's it.
00:20:20
Speaker
Yeah.
00:20:21
Speaker
And, uh, yeah, we don't want to talk about Aaron Rogers anymore and, uh, he'll be on the podcast next week, guys.
00:20:25
Speaker
So look forward to our interview.
00:20:27
Speaker
Yeah.
00:20:29
Speaker
Next week.
00:20:30
Speaker
Yeah.
00:20:31
Speaker
But do check us out.
00:20:32
Speaker
We're going to put links out for playback on Thursday.
00:20:35
Speaker
Buck Celtics.
00:20:36
Speaker
Um, look out for pet pics, TikTok, YouTube coming up real soon before the games on Saturday.
00:20:42
Speaker
And I think we wrapped this thing up, man.
00:20:44
Speaker
I know if I can, you got to get back to the infirmary or whatever.
00:20:47
Speaker
Yeah.
00:20:50
Speaker
I've been gone for too long.
00:20:51
Speaker
They're going to start looking for me.
00:20:52
Speaker
They're going to start looking for you.
00:20:56
Speaker
Let's ready break since you're sick.
00:20:59
Speaker
I think you've sent it out.
00:21:01
Speaker
You can just do your best.
00:21:03
Speaker
See if you can clap your hands or not.
00:21:05
Speaker
I'll try.
00:21:07
Speaker
Ready?
00:21:09
Speaker
Break.
00:21:10
Speaker
No.
00:21:11
Speaker
You can do it.
00:21:13
Speaker
That's someone who's healthy.
00:21:16
Speaker
I think someone healthy.
00:21:17
Speaker
Ready?
00:21:19
Speaker
What are you doing?
00:21:22
Speaker
No, I think that was good.
00:21:23
Speaker
No, it's not a six though.
00:21:25
Speaker
You taught me the waves, the sound waves, and I hate it.
00:21:30
Speaker
One more for good luck?
