Speaker
Welcome back to the Fresh Cakes podcast.
00:00:03
Speaker
We're back to it.
00:00:04
Speaker
We had a little hiatus there, but we're back at it.
00:00:07
Speaker
Some fun stuff to talk about this week.
00:00:09
Speaker
Pancakes, why don't you let them know what we have to talk about?
Introduction of New Correspondent and Game Experience
00:00:13
Speaker
This week, we have Aaron Rodgers fresh.
00:00:16
Speaker
And more importantly, my favorite fresh, we have some March Madness talk.
00:00:21
Speaker
It's like my favorite time of year for college basketball, you know, crazy things happen.
00:00:25
Speaker
But first, before that, we have to introduce to you now, for the first time ever, our man on the streets, Nate.
00:00:33
Speaker
And I'm going to let him actually introduce himself in his own words right here.
00:00:37
Speaker
Hey, this is Nate out here, man on the streets for the Fresh Cake Podcast.
00:00:41
Speaker
2005-2006, defenseman and Alaskan rookie of the year.
00:00:46
Speaker
And that's a clip from our interviews.
00:00:47
Speaker
Nate and I went to the Hurricanes and Jets game this past week, talked to some really cool people.
00:00:52
Speaker
And you can catch that whole little video of us interviewing people on our YouTube and on our TikTok.
Aaron Rodgers' Future and Trade Implications
00:00:58
Speaker
Both of those are at Fresh Cakes Podcast.
00:01:00
Speaker
And with that, let's roll right into Aaron Rodgers Fresh.
00:01:04
Speaker
Okay.
00:01:06
Speaker
Yeah.
00:01:06
Speaker
So Aaron Rodgers had a little interview on Pat McAfee.
00:01:11
Speaker
I watched it live.
00:01:12
Speaker
I watched him get up to, I think when I joined, he was at 150,000 people watching.
00:01:17
Speaker
He got up to almost 500,000 people watching.
00:01:19
Speaker
That's how big this interview was.
00:01:22
Speaker
And the quote is, he intends to play for the Jets.
00:01:27
Speaker
That's pretty interesting.
00:01:29
Speaker
Because pancakes, who's he employed by right now?
00:01:33
Speaker
He's employed by the Packers.
00:01:34
Speaker
And he's not a free agent, dude.
00:01:35
Speaker
He's certainly under contract for like almost $60 million.
00:01:41
Speaker
So that's one part of this whole thing that's going to get a little interesting.
00:01:46
Speaker
They'll have to make a trade to make this happen.
00:01:49
Speaker
That to me stands out almost the most.
00:01:51
Speaker
I don't really remember a player, you know, like when Tom Brady went to Tampa, he was free to do so, you know, and like kind of Robert Kraft, you know, tried to get him back, but it was cool.
00:02:04
Speaker
This is like a whole nightmare of like, you know, what are the Packers going to get in return?
00:02:09
Speaker
And the fact that he made that public, it's, I don't know, maybe we're going to see more of this with social media coming out in the future.
00:02:15
Speaker
But what do you think?
00:02:16
Speaker
I think that I would actually love to see the Jets be kind of competitive.
00:02:20
Speaker
I don't know if he could bring that.
00:02:22
Speaker
It's kind of hard to say, you know, because he's been at the Packers.
00:02:25
Speaker
So it's like, okay, or the Packers just bad.
00:02:28
Speaker
Because he did make some, like, he did have some great games at the Packers and stuff like that.
00:02:32
Speaker
And then I think about how.
00:02:34
Speaker
bad the Jets have been for how long they've been you know how long they've been bad it's been a blessing to see them be bad for so long because they are in you know they are in my division but okay yeah go ahead
00:02:45
Speaker
But they've been bad for so long that I don't know if you remember that movie that Adam Sandler was in, Big Daddy, where he brings the kid into the bar and he has like he's pissed about the Jets and he has the kid cussing about how bad the Jets are, too.
00:02:59
Speaker
And that movie came out like the 90s.
00:03:02
Speaker
Yeah.
00:03:02
Speaker
That's how the Jets have still been bad since that movie came out.
00:03:06
Speaker
I know they had like one or two, a couple of good years, maybe under Rex Ryan.
00:03:09
Speaker
I know they beat us one year when Mark Sanchez was their quarterback.
00:03:13
Speaker
Yeah.
00:03:14
Speaker
Rex Ryan could definitely coach defense and stuff, but still like we just destroy them every time.
Rodgers' Influence on Jets and Retirement Speculations
00:03:19
Speaker
I think we beat him like double digit times in a row.
00:03:22
Speaker
Um, so, you know, from a jets perspective, I don't know.
00:03:27
Speaker
I'd be on the fence if I was a jets fan, like, uh, is he going to play one?
00:03:32
Speaker
Let's say the trade goes through and they get actually get Aaron Rogers, which hasn't happened yet.
00:03:37
Speaker
Um,
00:03:38
Speaker
Are they pretty good for one year, but not that good?
00:03:41
Speaker
Cause he seems to be like aging faster than Brady.
00:03:44
Speaker
Um, you know, maybe it's doing ayahuasca and go into fucking darkness retreats and stuff.
00:03:50
Speaker
He spent too much time in the dark.
00:03:52
Speaker
Yeah.
00:03:52
Speaker
Tom Brady's eating avocados all day or whatever, but, um, you know, um, we'll see, it would be exciting.
00:03:59
Speaker
It'll definitely sell tickets in the New York media.
00:04:01
Speaker
We'll run with it.
00:04:02
Speaker
It will definitely be a hype, super hype thing.
00:04:04
Speaker
So that would be fun.
00:04:06
Speaker
Um,
00:04:08
Speaker
But I don't know much more than that.
00:04:10
Speaker
Does he hold them hostage then next year like he's doing to the Packers?
00:04:13
Speaker
Does he just retire?
00:04:14
Speaker
Probably, I would think.
00:04:15
Speaker
Maybe he plays two years, but then who's your quarterback, Jets?
00:04:18
Speaker
Well, you remember, I don't know if you saw that quote that came out like a few weeks ago, maybe it was a couple months ago at this point, where the current Jets quarterback was, if the Jets, you know, sign on a veteran QB, I'm going to make his life hell every day in practice.
00:04:31
Speaker
And I'm like, okay, Zach, like you, you do that to Aaron Rodgers.
00:04:35
Speaker
Like you make his life hell.
00:04:37
Speaker
Rodgers is good.
00:04:39
Speaker
And they signed Nathaniel Hackett, who was the head coach of the Broncos last season, failed, but was with Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay.
00:04:47
Speaker
him and Aaron Rogers are very close.
00:04:49
Speaker
So that's, if I'm a jets fan, I like them reconnecting and hack it, not being a head coach, but being on the offensive side of the ball.
00:04:57
Speaker
Um, that's good for them.
00:04:58
Speaker
They have a lot of young talent and I don't like hearing any of that.
00:05:03
Speaker
Um, again, they're in our division, but I did see today that their win expectation would go from like seven and a half to 10.
00:05:12
Speaker
If Aaron Rogers signed, um,
00:05:15
Speaker
So, I mean, that's just a number.
00:05:16
Speaker
I mean, that's speculative, of course, but.
00:05:19
Speaker
What makes you think he wants to go to the Jets?
00:05:21
Speaker
Why do you think he wants to go to the Jets?
00:05:23
Speaker
I don't know.
00:05:23
Speaker
The other weird thing is Brett Favre went to the Jets from the Packers and he took over for Brett Favre.
00:05:28
Speaker
What's he going to do?
00:05:29
Speaker
Go to the Vikings next?
00:05:30
Speaker
He's going to play here.
00:05:32
Speaker
And then he's just going to rob a bunch of people in Mississippi when he retires.
00:05:38
Speaker
I mean, he's got it.
00:05:38
Speaker
He's already doing it.
00:05:39
Speaker
He's going to do it high on ayahuasca.
00:05:41
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, exactly, man.
00:05:43
Speaker
So I don't know.
00:05:44
Speaker
He's living the Brett Favre life, I guess.
00:05:46
Speaker
The other part about this was that all week, people have been talking about this wish list that he gave them.
00:05:53
Speaker
Get Mercedes Lewis, who was a tight end, and I guess is a really good locker room guy, but he's like 38 years old, had six catches last year.
00:06:00
Speaker
So if he's a great locker room guy, I don't know.
00:06:03
Speaker
You're making an awful lot of demands for a guy that's not in free agency.
00:06:07
Speaker
Yeah, bring him on as a coach, maybe.
00:06:09
Speaker
But in his interview with Pat McAfee,
00:06:13
Speaker
which again, the whole world was watching.
00:06:14
Speaker
Like he said, like, it's ridiculous.
00:06:17
Speaker
I never gave him a list.
00:06:18
Speaker
I would never give them a list.
00:06:19
Speaker
But then Alan Lazard just signed four years, 44 million, who was on the Packers last year with Rodgers.
00:06:27
Speaker
So it's like, all right, so maybe he gave him one guy and was like, look, get Lazard, you can afford him.
00:06:33
Speaker
Maybe he gave him a whole list.
00:06:34
Speaker
I don't know.
00:06:34
Speaker
I just don't know what to believe about Aaron Rodgers.
00:06:37
Speaker
What do you think about that?
00:06:38
Speaker
Like, is he credible?
00:06:40
Speaker
I don't know, because when, you know, I watched that clip on Pat McAfee and where he was talking about how he was more into retiring, like way more towards that than coming back.
00:06:51
Speaker
Yeah, 90%.
00:06:52
Speaker
Yeah, I don't think that's true.
00:06:53
Speaker
I mean, again, I'm not the guy.
00:06:55
Speaker
I'm not him, though.
00:06:55
Speaker
I don't know what's going through his head, but it seems like, I don't know, like a bluff to me a little bit, but I think he wants to come back and play because you, who wants to go out like that?
00:07:04
Speaker
But then again, Tom Brady went out, you know, in the box with like, you know, not,
00:07:09
Speaker
doing the best.
00:07:10
Speaker
I don't know.
00:07:11
Speaker
They made the playoffs though.
00:07:12
Speaker
You know, the Packers didn't even make the playoffs last year.
00:07:15
Speaker
You know, at least Brady made the playoffs and they didn't do great, but that's true.
00:07:20
Speaker
I don't know.
00:07:20
Speaker
I mean, put yourself in his shoes.
00:07:22
Speaker
If it was me, I would kind of screw around with the media a little bit.
00:07:25
Speaker
I would love to get them.
00:07:27
Speaker
Like, wouldn't you do that?
00:07:28
Speaker
Or do you think you'd just be like a straight shooter?
00:07:31
Speaker
Like the whole time.
00:07:32
Speaker
I know Belichick loves to screw with the media.
00:07:34
Speaker
I think Rogers is just having fun on some level.
00:07:37
Speaker
He does love the screw with the media.
00:07:39
Speaker
Did you see what he texted that reporter?
00:07:42
Speaker
I think it was the guy from ESPN.
00:07:44
Speaker
Oh, Adam Schachter?
00:07:46
Speaker
Lose my number?
00:07:47
Speaker
Yeah, he said, lose my number.
00:07:48
Speaker
That was hilarious to me.
00:07:50
Speaker
I like him for that.
00:07:51
Speaker
I don't really like...
00:07:53
Speaker
Aaron Rodgers, you know, because he's on the Packers or as a whole.
00:07:56
Speaker
But when he texted the media guy that I thought that that was amazing.
00:07:59
Speaker
Yeah.
00:08:00
Speaker
And he said during that interview, he's like, anyone that reaches out to me, I'm either not going to respond or you're going to get the same message as that, which I thought was pretty like he's probably sick of it.
00:08:09
Speaker
You have to look at it from both sides.
00:08:11
Speaker
He's probably sick of it.
00:08:13
Speaker
And I do feel bad for Packers fans because I went through this with Brady and like he's not Brady, but he's almost there, you know.
00:08:21
Speaker
He's like a Drew Brees level guy.
00:08:23
Speaker
Like he's going to be in the hall of fame.
00:08:25
Speaker
Like, um, so I don't know, man.
00:08:28
Speaker
I just, there was a lot to this with like him 90, like you, you just brought up 90% retiring.
00:08:33
Speaker
Yeah.
00:08:35
Speaker
10% playing, but then comes out and says he hears that the Packers are ready to move on.
00:08:40
Speaker
And all of a sudden that 90% is, I want to play somewhere else.
00:08:44
Speaker
And I want to play for the Jets.
00:08:45
Speaker
And I want to play for the Jets.
00:08:46
Speaker
So like, did this darkness retreat?
00:08:49
Speaker
Because we talked about this on one of our other episodes.
00:08:52
Speaker
Like, did that accomplish anything at all?
00:08:55
Speaker
Because it just seemed like he reacted after he came out.
00:08:57
Speaker
What do you think?
00:09:00
Speaker
I don't know.
00:09:02
Speaker
I mean, I've never done a darkness retreat and I have no plans to, as you and I have talked about before.
00:09:07
Speaker
Yeah.
00:09:08
Speaker
But I, I, I don't know how, like he says he came out of it, you know, wanting one thing and now he's done a one 80.
00:09:16
Speaker
It seems like it didn't do that much good then dude, if you didn't seem.
00:09:20
Speaker
Well, no, he said he went into it.
00:09:21
Speaker
He said he went into it.
00:09:23
Speaker
90% retire.
00:09:24
Speaker
Oh, I thought with the way he phrased that, I thought he meant that when he came out before he got back to wifi,
00:09:29
Speaker
he was 90% going to retire.
00:09:31
Speaker
Yeah.
00:09:31
Speaker
That's, what's confusing.
00:09:32
Speaker
And like, and that's what makes me think like maybe it was reactionary.
00:09:36
Speaker
Cause he said in his retreat, he spent a whole day meditating on being retired and then another whole day meditating on coming back to play.
00:09:47
Speaker
And then it seems like he came out, heard what the Packers did and was like, screw these guys.
00:09:52
Speaker
I want to go play somewhere else.
00:09:53
Speaker
Like any validity, any validity to that?
00:09:57
Speaker
I don't know.
00:09:58
Speaker
Maybe he needs to go back to the darkness or whatever it was and figure out, do you really want to go to the jets?
00:10:05
Speaker
I don't know.
00:10:05
Speaker
Yeah.
00:10:06
Speaker
Maybe get the ayahuasca and the darkness thing combined.
00:10:09
Speaker
Just get crazy, you know, just throw it all in one big pot.
00:10:12
Speaker
Maybe he needs to go on a lightness retreat.
00:10:13
Speaker
I don't know.
00:10:14
Speaker
Maybe he needs to spend a few days in the sun or the desert or something, you know?
00:10:17
Speaker
Yeah.
NCAA Brackets and NHL Injuries
00:10:19
Speaker
Can I ask you a question?
00:10:20
Speaker
Yeah.
00:10:21
Speaker
Why are you destroying me in March Madness?
00:10:25
Speaker
Oh, that?
00:10:26
Speaker
Well, it's because I come from a basketball state.
00:10:30
Speaker
I mean, I was hoping you would say you got lucky, but okay, continue.
00:10:35
Speaker
No, it's not luck.
00:10:36
Speaker
It's not luck.
00:10:37
Speaker
Actually, it is, but the one thing I will say that I knew it when I saw your bracket, Arizona, and I gave them too much credit, and I normally don't.
00:10:48
Speaker
I usually have them winning like one game and then losing.
00:10:52
Speaker
you know, like the Sweet 16 or something like that.
00:10:54
Speaker
But I gave them a little too much credit this year.
00:10:56
Speaker
And I saw you gave them more credit than I did.
00:11:00
Speaker
And they kind of always choke.
00:11:02
Speaker
I didn't think that they would choke against Princeton.
00:11:05
Speaker
But I mean, that's what really set you back.
00:11:08
Speaker
Oh, God, you absolutely did.
00:11:10
Speaker
So currently, and I guess you were right about Arizona.
00:11:14
Speaker
So I can't argue with that.
00:11:15
Speaker
Currently, you're picking at a 93% rate right now.
00:11:20
Speaker
I have picked at 40%.
00:11:26
Speaker
So far, not so good.
00:11:27
Speaker
But sometimes those later teams, you never know, man.
00:11:31
Speaker
Well, I had West Virginia going further, and they lost to Maryland in a close one.
00:11:38
Speaker
Same thing for Virginia.
00:11:40
Speaker
I had Virginia going further, and they lost on a three-point in the last second.
00:11:45
Speaker
Yeah, to Furman.
00:11:46
Speaker
Where's Furman?
00:11:48
Speaker
Do you even know where Furman is?
00:11:49
Speaker
I don't even know where Furman is.
00:11:50
Speaker
No idea.
00:11:52
Speaker
No clue.
00:11:52
Speaker
But they did it, man.
00:11:53
Speaker
Good for them.
00:11:54
Speaker
Shout out to Furman, man.
00:11:55
Speaker
Good job.
00:11:56
Speaker
And did you see how it ended?
00:11:57
Speaker
It was on a steal and a three at the end.
00:11:59
Speaker
Like, oh, my God.
00:12:01
Speaker
If I was a Virginia fan, I'd be out of my mind right now.
00:12:04
Speaker
That's one of those crazy things that, you know, even no matter how far you make it in a tournament for a school like that, that play is just going to be on the highlight reel of every intro for the basketball team.
00:12:15
Speaker
for the next few years.
00:12:16
Speaker
And you do feel bad for them because they're kids.
00:12:19
Speaker
They're 18 to 21, 22.
00:12:23
Speaker
The guy who threw that pass is never going to live that down.
00:12:26
Speaker
That does kind of suck for him.
00:12:28
Speaker
And I agree with you.
00:12:29
Speaker
I'm not overly shocked about the Princeton over Arizona thing.
00:12:33
Speaker
I just thought it's a 2-15...
00:12:36
Speaker
Princeton being the 15 seed, I'm like, Arizona's got to win that.
00:12:40
Speaker
But those kids are wicked smart at Princeton.
00:12:42
Speaker
You know what I mean?
00:12:44
Speaker
Wicked smart.
00:12:45
Speaker
Do you have any big upsets predicted for tomorrow?
00:12:47
Speaker
Or if you're hearing this today?
00:12:51
Speaker
I don't even know who's playing tomorrow.
00:12:53
Speaker
There's so many games right now.
00:12:55
Speaker
I know Penn State better beat Texas A&M later.
00:12:57
Speaker
Can I admit something?
00:12:59
Speaker
What?
00:12:59
Speaker
I don't know.
00:13:00
Speaker
I shouldn't do this.
00:13:01
Speaker
I shouldn't do this.
00:13:02
Speaker
No, what is it?
00:13:03
Speaker
Okay.
00:13:04
Speaker
When I first filled out my bracket, I can't believe I'm going to admit this.
00:13:07
Speaker
I had Penn State going into the Final Four just out of loyalty, you know?
00:13:11
Speaker
Oh, that's ridiculous.
00:13:13
Speaker
But they just went to the Big Ten Championship game and lost by two points to Purdue, who's the number one seed.
00:13:21
Speaker
They got all the way to the Big Ten Championship, beat Maryland, beat, you know, Illinois, I think it was, or Indiana, I forget, like beat a bunch of motherfuckers.
00:13:30
Speaker
lost by two to a one seed in this tournament.
00:13:33
Speaker
They're kind of so hot right now.
00:13:35
Speaker
And then I went back today and out of just like wanting to beat you mostly out of just wanting to beat you.
00:13:42
Speaker
I switched it to they win.
00:13:44
Speaker
And then next round they lose to Texas.
00:13:47
Speaker
Yeah.
00:13:48
Speaker
And if they go to the final four, I'm going to feel like the worst fan ever, dude.
00:13:51
Speaker
Yeah.
00:13:52
Speaker
They're not going to the Final Four.
00:13:53
Speaker
I'm sorry to break it to you.
00:13:55
Speaker
Let's say they go to the Sweet 16, though, even.
00:13:58
Speaker
You know what I mean?
00:13:59
Speaker
I'll be crushed that I didn't, at least.
00:14:02
Speaker
But if they win, I think they play Texas next round.
00:14:05
Speaker
They do.
00:14:08
Speaker
So I pick Texas, unfortunately.
00:14:10
Speaker
How far do you have?
00:14:11
Speaker
Penn State, I haven't lost in first round.
00:14:14
Speaker
Stop.
00:14:14
Speaker
You didn't do that, did you?
00:14:15
Speaker
Yes, I did.
00:14:16
Speaker
I have a listen to Texas native.
00:14:17
Speaker
Wow.
00:14:17
Speaker
Now I hope, oh my God, I hope, oh, I want to beat you so bad at the start of it.
00:14:22
Speaker
I don't care.
00:14:22
Speaker
First round means nothing, bro.
00:14:24
Speaker
We'll see what happens, you know?
00:14:25
Speaker
Round two is more points.
00:14:27
Speaker
Don't get too excited.
00:14:29
Speaker
I know.
00:14:29
Speaker
93% can't last.
00:14:30
Speaker
As I was picking it, dude, I was like, oh, Fresh is going to just...
00:14:34
Speaker
I can't believe you did that, bro.
00:14:36
Speaker
If they win.
00:14:37
Speaker
I can't believe you did that, bro.
00:14:38
Speaker
I picked Kentucky just for what it's worth.
00:14:40
Speaker
I picked Kentucky.
00:14:42
Speaker
I picked Kentucky because there's no, to me, maybe it's just wishful thinking, there's no way they can have another first round exit.
00:14:49
Speaker
Providence is a tough out.
00:14:51
Speaker
Providence is always a tough out.
00:14:53
Speaker
I think that they have to at least win the first round.
00:14:55
Speaker
I have them winning first round and I have them beating, what is it?
00:15:00
Speaker
Providence?
00:15:00
Speaker
Who would they play after that?
00:15:02
Speaker
Is it Kansas State?
00:15:05
Speaker
Let me pull this up.
00:15:07
Speaker
Kansas State, I think.
00:15:08
Speaker
And I have that.
00:15:08
Speaker
Yeah, it'd be Kansas State if Kansas State beats Montana State.
00:15:11
Speaker
Kansas State's going to destroy them.
00:15:12
Speaker
No, I have them beating Kansas State.
00:15:14
Speaker
I have that thing that they do when UK sometimes gets on a tear in like March, which they've done before.
00:15:20
Speaker
Like they've had mediocre seasons before.
00:15:22
Speaker
And the last thing that this like was against UConn.
00:15:26
Speaker
And I think like 2014, 2015 season.
00:15:28
Speaker
Okay.
00:15:29
Speaker
Had like a pretty mediocre season.
00:15:31
Speaker
And then they went all the way to the national championship and lost to UConn.
00:15:35
Speaker
So it, I've seen it happen with UK before where they kind of play like, and then they just get March Madness and there's just like a, you know, a flip.
00:15:44
Speaker
You kind of make a run.
00:15:45
Speaker
I mean, they don't have like Kemba Walker anymore, but maybe, I don't know.
00:15:48
Speaker
I don't,
00:15:50
Speaker
You can't watch a hundred, whatever million teams in college basketball a year and actually know.
00:15:54
Speaker
And I feel like the more you know about college basketball, the worse you do on your bracket.
00:15:59
Speaker
You really just have to like get lucky, you know?
00:16:02
Speaker
Yeah.
00:16:02
Speaker
There are those Cinderella teams that come in and just like, what was it?
00:16:07
Speaker
The team that beat Kentucky last year?
00:16:09
Speaker
Was it like St.
00:16:10
Speaker
Peter's or something like that?
00:16:12
Speaker
I don't even know the school because they're not even in the tournament this year.
00:16:16
Speaker
Can we do a who's a better friend competition?
00:16:18
Speaker
Well, it's not about that.
00:16:20
Speaker
You know, you said you backed your Penn State up from the Final Four because you wanted to beat me.
00:16:26
Speaker
No, I mean.
00:16:28
Speaker
I wanted to beat you, and I know that Penn State's going to lose tonight.
00:16:30
Speaker
Wait, did I not make that?
00:16:31
Speaker
I might still have them in the Final Four.
00:16:34
Speaker
Oh, you didn't change it?
00:16:35
Speaker
I don't know if I knew how to save it on my phone.
00:16:38
Speaker
I think I do have them in the Final Four still.
00:16:41
Speaker
I don't think.
00:16:43
Speaker
It's over if Penn State loses tonight for you.
00:16:46
Speaker
You might as well just not even watch the rest of the tournament.
00:16:48
Speaker
They're not going to lose tonight.
00:16:48
Speaker
They're not going to lose tonight.
00:16:50
Speaker
Yeah, I didn't know how to save it.
00:16:52
Speaker
I totally made all these changes that didn't happen.
00:16:54
Speaker
That's why I was going to have Louisiana beating Tennessee.
00:16:58
Speaker
That's not going to happen.
00:16:59
Speaker
But Kentucky Elite Eight for me.
00:17:01
Speaker
Better friend award goes to Fresh.
00:17:04
Speaker
Sorry about that.
00:17:04
Speaker
Well, they're the better team than Penn State, so they have a better chance.
00:17:07
Speaker
That's debatable.
00:17:08
Speaker
Debatable, but I know who's the better friend.
00:17:10
Speaker
Smart planning, dude.
00:17:12
Speaker
I know who's the better friend.
00:17:13
Speaker
His name's Fresh.
00:17:14
Speaker
All right.
00:17:15
Speaker
You know what upset would make me happiest to see tonight if it happens, and it's probably not, is Northern Kentucky beating Houston.
00:17:24
Speaker
A 16 seed from like nowhere Kentucky.
00:17:27
Speaker
That's happened once.
00:17:28
Speaker
Last year against Kentucky.
00:17:30
Speaker
Oh, was it?
00:17:30
Speaker
Were you the guys?
00:17:32
Speaker
Kentucky got beat as a one seed last year.
00:17:35
Speaker
Kentucky got beat by like a 16 seed.
00:17:37
Speaker
Oh, my God.
00:17:37
Speaker
You were the first ever to lose to a 16 seed.
00:17:39
Speaker
I don't think they were the first ever.
00:17:41
Speaker
Yeah, they were.
00:17:42
Speaker
Were they?
00:17:43
Speaker
I'm not sure that that's accurate.
00:17:45
Speaker
I'm going to have to fact check that at the end of the episode.
00:17:47
Speaker
Pretty goddamn positive that it is accurate.
00:17:51
Speaker
But I'll tell you this now I regret putting your little dumbass team all the way through the lead eight, but that's okay.
00:17:57
Speaker
That's okay.
00:17:58
Speaker
I'm sorry.
00:17:58
Speaker
You didn't like, I probably am going to regret it too, honestly.
00:18:04
Speaker
But yeah, let's go, man.
00:18:05
Speaker
I mean, and I don't know.
00:18:08
Speaker
There's so much to talk about.
00:18:09
Speaker
I mean, we could talk about hockey.
00:18:10
Speaker
I'm sorry about Spetch.
00:18:12
Speaker
That's tough.
00:18:13
Speaker
It crushed me, honestly, because, you know, he's my favorite player.
00:18:17
Speaker
I know he is.
00:18:19
Speaker
When he got hurt and it was bobblehead night for him when Nate came to.
00:18:25
Speaker
Oh, my gosh.
00:18:26
Speaker
I have my bobblehead here on my desk.
00:18:28
Speaker
If you're listening, you can't see it.
00:18:29
Speaker
But you guys have taken some hits.
00:18:31
Speaker
I'm worried about the I'm going to knock on wood.
00:18:34
Speaker
Like I'm worried about we have some old men on that team, so.
00:18:38
Speaker
I think they're going to be fine.
00:18:39
Speaker
It's the Canes already about you're missing your top, like, one of your top scorers come playoffs.
00:18:44
Speaker
Like, they're not going to be able to compete with the Bruins, especially with, like, I hate to say it, but, like, that I watched him play, you know, because Jesse Puglia-Yarte kid, the Bison King.
00:18:54
Speaker
Yeah.
00:18:55
Speaker
I can't say his last name, but.
00:18:56
Speaker
Yeah.
00:18:58
Speaker
Watching him in person, it doesn't even seem like he can really keep up with the other guys on the ice.
00:19:03
Speaker
Like he kind of skates like hunched over.
00:19:05
Speaker
He wears his helmet in a ridiculous way.
00:19:07
Speaker
Like he wears his visor basically on his forehead.
00:19:10
Speaker
He just looks kind of goofy out there.
00:19:12
Speaker
His game's just off and it's not turned back on for the Canes yet.
00:19:15
Speaker
You know, I was hoping that it would be different and that he would score stuff like that.
00:19:18
Speaker
And even that other guy they traded for.
00:19:21
Speaker
not like he scored a couple of goals and now he's kind of in a slump.
00:19:24
Speaker
Yeah.
00:19:25
Speaker
It's, I mean, like, it's not like we don't have our injuries.
00:19:28
Speaker
Taylor Hall, I think is still like fifth in goals on our team.
00:19:32
Speaker
And he's played like eight less games than most of our regular starters.
00:19:37
Speaker
He's out.
00:19:38
Speaker
Hopefully he comes back and Felino has been a good guy for us.
00:19:40
Speaker
He's hurt, but we'll see if like,
00:19:43
Speaker
I heard something about Brad Marsha and saying like he thought his hips would feel better by now and they feel a lot worse than they thought.
00:19:50
Speaker
So, and they're all old men, but like stars, but we'll see.
00:19:55
Speaker
We'll see if the Bruins, I hope, I know we've been losing a lot lately, but I kind of hope we just coast into the playoffs and turn it up, you know, just let them all go to Hawaii, take a break.
00:20:06
Speaker
You know, that's what I'm for too, is that the Hurricanes goes in the playoffs and then something ignites them.
00:20:12
Speaker
Yeah, like both of our teams are far enough.
00:20:14
Speaker
Like we're pretty much locked into our seeds.
00:20:16
Speaker
Like I'm not too worried about it.
00:20:18
Speaker
Let them coast in.
Podcast Wrap-Up and Reflections
00:20:19
Speaker
But we could talk more about that next week.
00:20:22
Speaker
We'll see what happens over the coming days.
00:20:24
Speaker
We're up to nothing right now on Winnipeg, who you guys just beat.
00:20:29
Speaker
Yeah, we banged them up a little for you on Tuesday.
00:20:32
Speaker
Is that what it is?
00:20:32
Speaker
Yeah.
00:20:33
Speaker
Yeah.
00:20:34
Speaker
Okay.
00:20:34
Speaker
I wish you would have picked Penn State and been a better friend, but that's okay, man.
00:20:38
Speaker
That's okay, Payton.
00:20:39
Speaker
Hey.
00:20:40
Speaker
You know, it's part of the rivalry.
00:20:42
Speaker
I got you.
00:20:43
Speaker
I pick Kentucky into the lead eight.
00:20:46
Speaker
You have us losing in the first round.
00:20:48
Speaker
That's fine.
00:20:48
Speaker
I get it.
00:20:48
Speaker
Totally get it.
00:20:49
Speaker
Do you have anything else you want to talk about?
00:20:52
Speaker
Or should we be ready to fuck break?
00:20:55
Speaker
Ready break, dude.
00:20:56
Speaker
All right.
00:20:57
Speaker
Who's sending it this time?
00:20:59
Speaker
I'll let you send it since you're so upset.
00:21:01
Speaker
I'm not upset.
00:21:02
Speaker
I'm not upset.
00:21:03
Speaker
I'm happily enraged right now.
00:21:05
Speaker
Happily enraged.
00:21:08
Speaker
All right, you ready?
00:21:09
Speaker
Ready?
00:21:10
Speaker
Ready, break.
00:21:11
Speaker
Let's do it.
00:21:13
Speaker
I don't know.
00:21:14
Speaker
We can do it again.
00:21:15
Speaker
I'll send it out this time.
00:21:16
Speaker
Why don't you look at your little tidal waves?
00:21:17
Speaker
Put your waves up.
00:21:19
Speaker
Yeah, you send it.
00:21:20
Speaker
Send it.
00:21:21
Speaker
Ready?
00:21:21
Speaker
Break.
00:21:24
Speaker
I think we did good on that one.
00:21:25
Speaker
You have to wait and see.
00:21:26
Speaker
We might have done good.
00:21:27
Speaker
Oh, I kind of see the waves, too.
00:21:29
Speaker
Okay.
00:21:30
Speaker
I don't want to, though.
00:21:33
Speaker
I've been very outspoken against the waves so much.
00:21:35
Speaker
I don't know.
