Introduction and Episode Preview
00:00:01
Speaker
Welcome back to the Fresh Cakes podcast.
00:00:08
Speaker
So what do we have today, Pancakes?
00:00:11
Speaker
Um, today, Fresh, we have Oklahoma women's softball having a three-peat, you know, they're in their Michael Jordan era.
00:00:20
Speaker
We have the Panthers, you know, not being so Panther-ish as they have been this entire playoffs.
00:00:27
Speaker
And then we have Conrad Greger knocking out the mascot of the Miami Heat.
00:00:32
Speaker
Kind of like, uh, Denver's about to knock
Fresh's Railbird Music Festival Experience
00:00:35
Speaker
them out of the playoffs.
00:00:35
Speaker
So, I mean, we got a lot of, you know.
00:00:38
Speaker
Wow, is that where you're going with that?
00:00:39
Speaker
Right off the rip?
00:00:40
Speaker
Right off the rim.
00:00:43
Speaker
But starting off, you know, we're back a little bit.
00:00:46
Speaker
You know, we have an episode a little bit later than normal.
00:00:50
Speaker
I was out of town, as you know, for a music festival, Railbird, back in my old Kentucky home.
00:00:57
Speaker
Got to see Zach Bryan.
00:00:58
Speaker
Got to see Tyler Childers, as I told you about.
00:01:01
Speaker
It was pretty fun.
00:01:02
Speaker
Never heard of either of them, but that sounds super fun.
00:01:06
Speaker
I had a hell of a time.
00:01:08
Speaker
Zach Bryan, love him.
00:01:11
Speaker
He's a Philly fan, so I hope that we can one day have him on the podcast so that we can gang up on him.
Oklahoma Sooners Softball Team's Victory
00:01:19
Speaker
Then I'm a huge fan.
00:01:20
Speaker
Because he's an Eagles fan, so then we can just talk shit to him.
00:01:23
Speaker
Uh-oh, then I'm not a huge fan.
00:01:27
Speaker
We'll get him, though.
00:01:28
Speaker
But starting out, you know, he's actually from Oklahoma.
00:01:33
Speaker
So here's my segue into this.
00:01:34
Speaker
He's a family from Oklahoma.
00:01:35
Speaker
This is why you do this and I don't do this.
00:01:38
Speaker
We tried one time.
00:01:39
Speaker
It was the first or last time.
00:01:42
Speaker
So I wonder if he's stoked because Oklahoma Sooners, the Boomer Sooners softball team, they just won their third national championship in a row for softball.
00:01:53
Speaker
Lady Sooners, man.
00:01:54
Speaker
And they've been, like, winning –
00:01:56
Speaker
Record amounts of games, just absolutely crushing it.
00:01:59
Speaker
Our buddy Randy always talking about it.
00:02:01
Speaker
He's from Oklahoma.
00:02:04
Speaker
I mean, three-peat is a three-peat.
00:02:06
Speaker
That's dynasty-type stuff going on down in Oklahoma.
00:02:11
Speaker
It's awesome for him.
00:02:12
Speaker
It's great to see them win three in a row.
00:02:15
Speaker
And you know what's even better about it than them winning three in a row?
00:02:22
Speaker
They beat a Florida team to do it fresh.
00:02:28
Speaker
It seems like it's starting to be possible as we've talked about on this podcast lately.
00:02:33
Speaker
Are they changing the vibes?
00:02:34
Speaker
What's going on here?
00:02:36
Speaker
I think that, yeah.
00:02:38
Speaker
Lady Sooners, let's go.
00:02:41
Speaker
Maybe they're breaking the curse, dude.
00:02:42
Speaker
I didn't even think of that.
00:02:45
Speaker
You just literally melted my brain with that.
00:02:50
Speaker
the Oklahoma like, like Sooners for the softball team have unlocked something because they beat Florida state to win that championship.
00:02:59
Speaker
Do you think it was that, do you think it was that throw?
00:03:01
Speaker
Was that like the moment that shattered the Florida magic?
Florida Panthers' Aggressive Play and Kachuk's Actions
00:03:05
Speaker
You know, cause the Panthers, you want to explain that throw to them?
00:03:11
Speaker
For the final out to at least secure one out of the two games that Oklahoma needed to secure to win the national championship against Florida State, their center fielder threw from the warding track to second base to get the final out of the inning, which secured them the win.
00:03:29
Speaker
I mean, they were up, like, what, 4-0, so they probably weren't coming back right fresh, but still.
00:03:34
Speaker
You can never be too careful with Florida teams.
00:03:37
Speaker
If the ball bounces off the center field while on a hop—
00:03:40
Speaker
That's got to be a double, man.
00:03:42
Speaker
Do you know what I mean?
00:03:43
Speaker
Like, I don't know if the Florida State girl didn't hustle it out because she, you know, it was a great hit.
00:03:48
Speaker
But, man, she didn't even get to slide.
00:03:51
Speaker
Like, it wasn't even close.
00:03:52
Speaker
She was out by a mile.
00:03:53
Speaker
Like, that was a hell of a throw.
00:03:55
Speaker
That girl had a cannon for an arm.
00:03:58
Speaker
Cannon for an arm.
00:04:01
Speaker
You know who doesn't have a cannon for an arm because he uses a stick instead?
00:04:07
Speaker
Yeah, T-Ketchup, as we like to call them.
00:04:11
Speaker
And you showed me this.
00:04:12
Speaker
This was the brawl after game four, right?
00:04:18
Speaker
And, dude, Florida almost tied it up, like, on the last second.
00:04:22
Speaker
I mean, actually, when I first watched that, I was like, oh, my God, they're going to send it to overtime.
00:04:26
Speaker
That's what she's sending me.
00:04:29
Speaker
goalie saves it and then it's just a it's just a donny brook right out of it's a tilly right out of the right at the end of the game and everyone's throwing down what did you think about that i saw so i don't know how fresh but somehow on my twitter feed i get plagued by like panthers fans just crying crying about everything that they've done to other teams this entire playoffs you know so like this goal like getting blocked
00:04:55
Speaker
was very similar to a goal that Boston should have scored in their series.
00:05:01
Speaker
And they're all crying about it now that it's happening to them.
00:05:04
Speaker
So it's like funny.
00:05:05
Speaker
They go, tell me the NHL isn't rigged after you watch this.
00:05:08
Speaker
No, the goal just made a hell of a save.
00:05:09
Speaker
You didn't get the goal.
00:05:12
Speaker
I know you're from Florida, but quit crying.
00:05:14
Speaker
And that's what started this.
00:05:16
Speaker
And the Florida fans start crying.
00:05:18
Speaker
They started throwing things on the ice.
00:05:22
Speaker
I don't know if you saw it, but T Ketchup tried to like strangle a guy with his stick.
00:05:28
Speaker
He like came up behind a guy and hooked him with this stick.
00:05:33
Speaker
And the refs should him back and he's hitting guys with his stick and stuff, which is why I brought that up.
00:05:39
Speaker
I mean, not, not honorable.
00:05:41
Speaker
Not honorable, not honorable man.
00:05:43
Speaker
I got more to say about this.
00:05:44
Speaker
I have a lot to say about the thing.
00:05:46
Speaker
I didn't mean this.
00:05:47
Speaker
I didn't mean to, you know, take your thunder.
00:05:50
Speaker
No, this was the same game that he laid out a player, open ice, that wasn't even playing the puck.
00:05:56
Speaker
So just so you guys out there that don't watch hockey know, that's not a cool move to do.
00:06:01
Speaker
You don't do that.
00:06:01
Speaker
Interference if you're not on the puck, yeah.
00:06:03
Speaker
Yeah, and he didn't get called for it.
00:06:05
Speaker
Nothing was called.
00:06:06
Speaker
He just open ice hit straight.
00:06:09
Speaker
And the game after this, people wondered why Vegas was kind of, I wouldn't say targeting, but giving T-Ketchup kind of what he deserved.
00:06:20
Speaker
Like some of the hits that were put on him were like, I would say pretty heavy the game after this, but you know, you can't knock around Vegas's guys like this and then try to strangle one of them with your stick and expect nothing in return.
00:06:34
Speaker
And that's kind of part of like the hockey unwritten code is like,
00:06:37
Speaker
you don't really go after teams stars, you know, like Sidney Crosby's benefited a lot from that over the years.
00:06:44
Speaker
But part of that rule is if that player, if you're Kachuk or Crosby or Bergeron or Svetch or whoever, if you go out of that and you knock a guy and it's kind of like unfair, it's like a not, it's an uncouth hit.
00:06:59
Speaker
then that that's gone now you can hit the hell out of them so and that's kind of just unwritten hockey rules it's like you know we'll lay off your star you lay off our star they're the goal scorers but if they go if they step over the line that's all out the window so i'm glad vegas did that man that's just the old school hockey rules like i love it yeah wouldn't you say strangling and i mean like strangling a guy for those of you that didn't get to see the clip he like
00:07:24
Speaker
wrapped his stick with one hand and then like over a guy's shoulder and then took his other hand on the guy's other shoulder.
00:07:30
Speaker
And like, I could, I don't even know how to describe it.
00:07:33
Speaker
He like literally tried to like strangle him with a stick.
00:07:38
Speaker
They were doing that to the Bruins, the whole series, like with their, with their mitts to their gloves, whatever.
00:07:43
Speaker
Like, I don't know why I said mitts, but like from behind, they were like, kind of like rubbing in their face and stuff, trying to pull their head back and stuff from like behind.
00:07:52
Speaker
manly at all it's not hockey at all it's not cool in the real world i mean it's just like if you want to fight the guy fight the guy but don't like be behind him like you're a tough guy doing something man you're behind him trying to like pick his nose you know while you're playing you know he's tangled up with another guy and or the ref and you're coming in from behind like trying to get your little cheap shot in like okay dude great
00:08:17
Speaker
You play hockey in Florida.
00:08:20
Speaker
I don't know where you even get ice in Florida.
00:08:22
Speaker
You know what I mean?
00:08:22
Speaker
It's a million degrees.
Conor McGregor and Miami Heat Mascot Incident
00:08:25
Speaker
Stick to fucking water skiing.
00:08:27
Speaker
It's funny, though, because you see like coverage from it, you know, like outside the arena and they're like on the beach.
00:08:36
Speaker
And they're like, let's go inside to like play hockey.
00:08:41
Speaker
No wonder they don't have fans.
00:08:42
Speaker
I mean, they do now and they're on a hell of a run.
00:08:44
Speaker
You got to give it to them.
00:08:45
Speaker
But I just don't like the style that they've played.
00:08:48
Speaker
And are we biased?
00:08:49
Speaker
Hell yeah, we're biased.
00:08:52
Speaker
We can admit that.
00:08:53
Speaker
But, you know, also, if you look at this with an unbiased eye, either way, that wasn't that wasn't cool.
00:08:59
Speaker
What was going on?
00:09:01
Speaker
That was pretty gross, like throwing water bottles and they throw the little rats on the ice.
00:09:05
Speaker
And like, I don't know, man, it's not good sportsmanship.
00:09:10
Speaker
You know who doesn't do that?
00:09:11
Speaker
Boston doesn't do that.
00:09:12
Speaker
And Carolina doesn't do that.
00:09:14
Speaker
But you know who does do that?
00:09:15
Speaker
They're Florida fans.
00:09:16
Speaker
Florida fans and Philly fans.
00:09:18
Speaker
They had the battery throwing and Dallas fans.
00:09:21
Speaker
Remember Dallas fans were throwing things onto the ice.
00:09:25
Speaker
Does Vegas just like evoke something in these people that makes the other team.
00:09:30
Speaker
They're kind of the new kids on the block still.
00:09:33
Speaker
No, they're not, not old at all.
00:09:35
Speaker
They're still a brand new team in the, in the league.
00:09:37
Speaker
So yeah, maybe it's a little bit of trying to bully them a little bit, but it's not happening.
00:09:42
Speaker
It's not happening.
00:09:43
Speaker
I'll tell you that.
00:09:45
Speaker
Speaking of bullying,
00:09:48
Speaker
Is there anyone that you could think of?
00:09:50
Speaker
And speaking of Florida, is there anyone in Florida that you could think of that got bullied recently?
00:09:55
Speaker
Well, it's funny that you say that, Fresh, because Conor McGregor, UFC champion, had what seemed like a bit with the Miami Heat mascot for the NBA playoffs.
00:10:09
Speaker
And it looked like he threw a little extra punch in there.
00:10:12
Speaker
Sure did, didn't he?
00:10:14
Speaker
yeah he sent the guy to he sent the miami heat mascot to the emergency room yeah so you if you go on like youtube you just type conor mcgregor mascot it's believe me that's the first thing that comes up um yeah so it was definitely a bit um again he's a ufc like champion if you don't know who conor mcgregor is i don't know you haven't had a tv in the last 20 years but um
00:10:37
Speaker
And the first punch he throws was totally scripted, didn't really hit him, but it looked like it did.
00:10:43
Speaker
Mascot falls down.
00:10:45
Speaker
Then McGregor gets over him and just throws like an actual haymaker.
00:10:48
Speaker
And again, this guy is really, really strong and a trained fighter.
00:10:53
Speaker
And you can see the mascot just like, you can see the pain go through his body.
00:10:56
Speaker
You can see him twitch.
00:10:57
Speaker
Like it was kind of scary, right?
00:11:02
Speaker
he almost like broke his nose or something.
00:11:04
Speaker
I don't know what happened to the, like the guy, like maybe he broke his nose, maybe he didn't, but he flinched like, you know, like went to grab his like,
00:11:12
Speaker
mascot face with his mascot hand.
00:11:16
Speaker
Golden box of glove hands.
00:11:18
Speaker
I think that's part of the suit.
00:11:20
Speaker
But but dude, shout out to whoever that guy is, because he did ride the round in pain for a second.
00:11:25
Speaker
But then they like carried him off like he was supposed to pretend to be knocked out.
00:11:29
Speaker
And he played that part, you know, probably pretty easy to play at that point.
00:11:36
Speaker
But like, you know, he had to like put his arms out on his back getting jagged off like he had to make it look like he was knocked out.
00:11:43
Speaker
And again, like, I mean, he wasn't instantly knocked out.
00:11:45
Speaker
So he did have to like, on some level, play that role in an extreme amount of pain.
00:11:50
Speaker
I mean, we're talking emergency room, right?
00:11:52
Speaker
They drug him by his feet off the court.
00:11:54
Speaker
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
00:11:56
Speaker
I don't know, dude.
00:11:57
Speaker
Okay, this is my question to you.
00:12:00
Speaker
We know that Florida is obviously a bunch of bitches.
00:12:03
Speaker
So this is the heat mascot.
00:12:10
Speaker
Do you think that he was actually here?
00:12:14
Speaker
Or do you think that because Conor McGregor is pretty notorious all day, they call him the Conor, the notorious, like,
00:12:22
Speaker
mcgregor he's actually notorious rather than for his fights in the oc for just punching strangers and stuff that's interesting now you're kind of freaking me out because he hasn't been talked about in a while he's knocked out an old man before because he wouldn't take a shot with him of his whiskey yeah in an irish pub yeah people on the street and stuff and in ireland and other places i think um
00:12:48
Speaker
Yeah, I wonder, because if he has a good PR team, like they know that's good clickbait, you know?
00:12:55
Speaker
And if you're the mascot and they're like, hey, here's, look, we'll give you 50 grand.
00:12:59
Speaker
Go to the emergency room, go through the whole thing, make it look like, you know, you were hurt.
00:13:04
Speaker
Because they said they gave him pain pills, he went home, he's fine.
00:13:07
Speaker
Oh, no, I meant the opposite.
00:13:08
Speaker
I meant, do you think the mascot was milking it to try to get a lawsuit because of how many, because Conor McGregor has this history?
00:13:17
Speaker
All right, but we're going to debate both sides.
00:13:20
Speaker
It looked like he hit him.
00:13:22
Speaker
It did look like he hit him.
00:13:25
Speaker
But, like, you're also, like, think about how thick mascot heads.
00:13:27
Speaker
Have you ever put a mascot head on before?
00:13:29
Speaker
Like, at your high school or anything like that?
00:13:34
Speaker
I guess I would have to picture it.
00:13:37
Speaker
Like, I mean, Conor McGregor is a world champion fighter.
00:13:41
Speaker
And he's, like, upping his weight class.
00:13:44
Speaker
Like, he's freaking huge right now.
00:13:47
Speaker
I also can't believe that he threw that punch with a full Conor McGregor force.
00:13:51
Speaker
Well, my initial thought was he thought what you just said.
00:13:55
Speaker
These things are thick.
00:13:57
Speaker
You know what I mean?
00:13:57
Speaker
Let's make it look real.
00:13:58
Speaker
Let me punch him as decently.
00:14:02
Speaker
Yeah, make it look good.
00:14:06
Speaker
I wonder if it's clickbait because that video has over a million views already.
00:14:09
Speaker
You know what I mean?
00:14:11
Speaker
You see what I'm saying, though?
00:14:12
Speaker
The other side of that is like.
00:14:14
Speaker
Dude, why do that bit?
00:14:17
Speaker
What is he, a Heat fan from Ireland?
00:14:18
Speaker
I mean, I don't know.
00:14:20
Speaker
That's a good question because maybe he does have a house by me.
00:14:23
Speaker
I mean, he's a multimillionaire.
00:14:25
Speaker
But I know he lived in Vegas for a while, so why wasn't he doing this to the Panthers mascot fresh?
00:14:30
Speaker
Why wasn't he doing this to Kachuk?
00:14:32
Speaker
I mean, you're in a red, like he's in a red, like velvet suit or whatever, like tracksuit.
00:14:39
Speaker
And he's doing like a bit for the NBA finals.
00:14:41
Speaker
I've never heard him.
00:14:42
Speaker
Like, have you ever seen him around basketball or like,
00:14:44
Speaker
No, I've never seen him at a basketball game.
00:14:48
Speaker
I guess he hasn't punched anybody out in any of the previous games he's went to.
00:14:52
Speaker
Usually it's on the street.
00:14:53
Speaker
But this is different.
00:14:55
Speaker
This is a sanctioned knockout.
00:14:56
Speaker
So I don't know if he's going to jail for this one.
00:14:59
Speaker
Because usually he dies.
00:15:01
Speaker
And he gets arrested and stuff a lot.
00:15:05
Speaker
Now that you, and I wasn't picking up what you were saying, but you sparked this idea that this was just for clicks.
00:15:15
Speaker
If Conor McGregor hit me, I'd probably try to sell it too.
00:15:17
Speaker
If I'm being honest, I'll take the heat side a little bit there.
Sports Predictions and Humor
00:15:22
Speaker
But I am saying McGregor's in the news right now, for sure.
00:15:26
Speaker
Maybe it's a little bit of both.
00:15:27
Speaker
You know, speaking of being embarrassed, you know who's embarrassed right now?
00:15:31
Speaker
And he won't admit it.
00:15:31
Speaker
I keep trying to get it out of him.
00:15:35
Speaker
He's a little under the weather right now.
00:15:38
Speaker
He's a little ashamed of himself.
00:15:39
Speaker
He picked both Florida teams.
00:15:42
Speaker
Hey, it's not over until it's over, dude.
00:15:44
Speaker
He could still be right.
00:15:45
Speaker
And what if you were to bet it now and he just makes you a bunch of money because now they're both down and watch them both come back and win it in like seven games.
00:15:55
Speaker
That would be insane.
00:15:57
Speaker
I think I saw a thing.
00:15:58
Speaker
The NBA teams are one in 35 when they're down one games to three.
00:16:03
Speaker
The only team to do it was, uh, what the cap was it?
00:16:07
Speaker
The Cavaliers warriors playoffs.
00:16:10
Speaker
That sounds right.
00:16:11
Speaker
I'll take your word for that.
00:16:13
Speaker
With LeBron, yeah.
00:16:16
Speaker
But, you know, what we said on the last episode, this whole, like, bet all your money on what Ray says, we also said...
00:16:26
Speaker
when it comes to football and like, look, you could go check the tape, but it's bad, probably better to just take our word for it.
00:16:32
Speaker
You know what I mean?
00:16:33
Speaker
So, you know, you know, it's in there, it's in there.
00:16:35
Speaker
We said for football, you know, the dogs, the dogs, no, maybe the dogs, no hockey and basketball dude.
00:16:42
Speaker
So, and we're just learning this too.
00:16:44
Speaker
So now we, we did think he would be right.
00:16:47
Speaker
And again, it's not over yet, but, um, I don't know.
00:16:51
Speaker
Ray will have to come make a public apology if, uh, if these series and, uh,
00:16:56
Speaker
The way it looks like they're going to end.
00:16:57
Speaker
I don't think the Heat have a chance.
00:16:59
Speaker
I think maybe the Panthers, but I don't think the Heat have a chance.
00:17:03
Speaker
You don't think the Heat have a chance at all?
00:17:04
Speaker
They're not even that close to games.
00:17:06
Speaker
And Joker's the best player in basketball.
00:17:13
Speaker
I'd be interested to see.
00:17:14
Speaker
They have another game Monday, right?
00:17:22
Speaker
basketball, I think.
00:17:23
Speaker
And then hockey is the day after that.
00:17:27
Speaker
So, yeah, I don't know, but I guess, you know, the Celtics look dead in the water and they forced a game seven.
00:17:32
Speaker
So series do change.
00:17:35
Speaker
I'll just raise, you know, he's, he's resting peacefully right now.
00:17:39
Speaker
You know, he made, he put these picks out to the world.
00:17:42
Speaker
Millions of people that obviously watch, listen to our podcast.
00:17:47
Speaker
Millions of people, you know, bet millions of dollars and raise the shames.
00:17:52
Speaker
But, you know, it's okay.
00:17:53
Speaker
Maybe this is the dog time.
00:17:54
Speaker
Maybe this is dog time.
00:17:56
Speaker
It's dog time, dude.
00:17:59
Speaker
So we know they know basketball, they know hockey, and Ray's a football guy.
00:18:05
Speaker
But, again, we'll find out.
00:18:07
Speaker
We can ready break on that.
00:18:08
Speaker
You know, it's dog time.
00:18:11
Speaker
Well, you can really break out of it.
00:18:16
Speaker
Why don't you send it dog time?
00:18:25
Speaker
You can send one for Ray Ray, the comeback cat.
00:18:28
Speaker
I mean, until these series are over, technically it's still cat time.
00:18:44
Speaker
Maybe not close at all.
00:18:45
Speaker
We'll enjoy the rest of these series.
00:18:47
Speaker
And if it's dog time or cat time, we'll just bust it.
