Introduction and Reintroduction of Hosts
00:00:01
Speaker
Welcome back to the Fresh Cakes podcast.
00:00:03
Speaker
We're back after another little hiatus of technical difficulties there.
00:00:09
Speaker
What happened, Pancakes?
00:00:10
Speaker
We lost everything.
00:00:12
Speaker
We lost everything.
00:00:13
Speaker
I think it's, you know, the hamster that runs my internet.
00:00:16
Speaker
I think it stopped running mid-episode.
00:00:19
Speaker
We cut out a little bit, and it just... I had to get a new one.
00:00:22
Speaker
I had to get a new hamster and put it on the wheel.
00:00:24
Speaker
The old hamster's fired, so... All right, so just pretend we talked about Aaron Rodgers and everything.
00:00:31
Speaker
I think the least important part of the episode was me losing to my brother in fantasy football because I talked a little smack and I did lose to him.
00:00:40
Speaker
So really, nobody missed out on anything.
00:00:43
Speaker
It was kind of a shit episode anyways.
Colorado vs. Oregon Football Game Recap
00:00:47
Speaker
So what are we talking about today?
00:00:49
Speaker
Well, you think that that was the most important part of the last episode.
00:00:52
Speaker
I think the most important part that got cut out for me fresh was one of the things we're going to talk about today, which is Colorado getting embarrassed.
00:00:59
Speaker
And I did call that in our previous episode that the world will never hear.
00:01:04
Speaker
And we're going to talk a little bit more about just update on our college football teams and then some NFL football as well.
00:01:11
Speaker
Yeah, actually kind of nice because we can say we predicted anything we won in the last episode because no one's ever going to hear it.
00:01:18
Speaker
So honestly, we could just say we did it all.
00:01:21
Speaker
But yeah, Colorado got absolutely demolished.
00:01:26
Speaker
I think we both called it.
00:01:28
Speaker
I mean, they're playing real teams now.
00:01:31
Speaker
And if you have to go to double overtime with Colorado State, Oregon's kind of a different animal.
00:01:38
Speaker
Oregon just shit all over them.
00:01:41
Speaker
They even got their extra point on that one touchdown they did score blocked by, you know, like Oregon's.
00:01:49
Speaker
By this time, Oregon was putting in like their third string guys, guys that are never going to probably see another football game.
00:01:57
Speaker
Yeah, the dudes that like paint the field and shit were playing.
00:02:00
Speaker
Yeah, the equipment manager was in, I think, a kicker or something, you know?
00:02:05
Speaker
Yeah, and you can see it was 35-0 at halftime, and they only won 42-6.
00:02:10
Speaker
So even Oregon's backups won by one point in the second half.
00:02:15
Speaker
But pretty brutal.
00:02:17
Speaker
I think we talked about last week, what was it, The Rock and Lil Wayne and everything.
00:02:22
Speaker
We're back in Colorado.
00:02:24
Speaker
It got a little crazy, and we both, I think you said this first,
00:02:30
Speaker
Thought the TCU win was a little overrated that first week.
Hype and Predictions for Colorado's Upcoming Matches
00:02:36
Speaker
And the hype train just kept cruising, yeah?
00:02:39
Speaker
Yeah, I really think that the TCU win was overrated because you said, like, they only had, like, three starters on that team from the team that went to the national championship.
00:02:49
Speaker
The Colorado State game was close.
00:02:52
Speaker
Yeah, I know it's a rivalry game, whatever.
00:02:54
Speaker
But, I mean, if the Rock and Lil Wayne are there and you can only beat, you know, your...
00:02:59
Speaker
your unranked rival and over like two overtimes, man, I don't know.
00:03:03
Speaker
But, and you know what?
00:03:05
Speaker
They're not going to have it any easier this week because they have to play USC.
00:03:11
Speaker
And our favorite little guy with the fingernail, you know, words, is it going to be fuck Colorado?
00:03:17
Speaker
We'll see what he's, is he still doing the fingernails?
00:03:20
Speaker
Do you think it's going to be fuck buffs or do you think it's going to be fuck prime?
00:03:27
Speaker
Oh, because, you know, Caleb Williams seems to really be on like that clickbaity train like Prime is because, you know, Prime just tweets out when, when, when.
00:03:36
Speaker
And I wonder if they're going to, you know, is Coach Prime going to paint his fingernails maybe, too, in response to Caleb Williams?
00:03:44
Speaker
Yeah, it's like Los Angeles against Colorado, Los Angeles, basically.
00:03:49
Speaker
It's two media mogul schools.
00:03:53
Speaker
We'll see what happens.
00:03:54
Speaker
I think we both, I know we're going to agree that USC is going to kick the shit out of them again.
00:03:59
Speaker
Do you think they're going to score?
00:04:01
Speaker
I don't know, man.
00:04:02
Speaker
Yeah, maybe like they did against Oregon in the fourth quarter.
00:04:07
Speaker
You know what I mean?
00:04:09
Speaker
After Cale Williams only has to play the first half because they're out by like 50.
00:04:14
Speaker
Yeah, he'll have five fucking touchdowns in the first half and he won't play anymore.
00:04:19
Speaker
You know, I mean, he's the kids pretty fucking amazing, even though I don't like him that much.
Michigan's Strategic Play and Upcoming Challenges
00:04:26
Speaker
Speaking of college football, is Michigan going to play anyone this year?
00:04:31
Speaker
Are they just playing fucking shit teams every week?
00:04:33
Speaker
What's going on with that?
00:04:34
Speaker
You guys beat Rutgers.
00:04:36
Speaker
What a dumb question when you know that we play you in a few weeks.
00:04:40
Speaker
What a stupid question.
00:04:41
Speaker
So I guess, are you saying that Penn State's no one?
00:04:43
Speaker
Because you really just kind of like did a cell phone there.
00:04:47
Speaker
What's a cell phone?
00:04:54
Speaker
When you own yourself, when you say something stupid.
00:04:57
Speaker
And I'll check yourself.
00:05:01
Speaker
You just did it again.
00:05:03
Speaker
Because who asks what a cell phone is, even if I thought that's what you said.
00:05:07
Speaker
So like that didn't even make sense.
00:05:09
Speaker
I thought it was like some cool saying I didn't know about, man.
00:05:12
Speaker
You just cell phoned it, man.
00:05:15
Speaker
Back to back cell phones.
00:05:20
Speaker
No, we're going to obviously we have to play Ohio State before you guys.
00:05:22
Speaker
So I guess I'm like, that's like the big game of our season.
00:05:26
Speaker
But so you guys play you before Ohio State.
00:05:29
Speaker
So, I mean, like, and I think you're tougher than Ohio State this year.
00:05:33
Speaker
So you guys beat Rutgers only by 24.
00:05:37
Speaker
What do you think about that?
00:05:38
Speaker
I guess Rutgers was undefeated.
00:05:41
Speaker
What I think about it, okay, so I would love to talk more about this because do you remember me texting you this past Saturday that dumbass Pat McAfee picked Rutgers to beat Michigan at Michigan?
00:05:53
Speaker
I did see that, yeah.
00:05:54
Speaker
I don't know if he had been working too many hours or drinking too much that morning, but I mean, that was just a silly— I guess I'm glad because, you know, the game day curse sometimes when they'll pick—
00:06:05
Speaker
Everybody will pick the same team to win.
00:06:07
Speaker
And then it's a huge episode.
00:06:08
Speaker
So maybe I should be thanking you, Pat McAfee.
00:06:10
Speaker
So actually, thank you.
00:06:12
Speaker
But still, that was just dumb.
00:06:14
Speaker
I don't know how you make that pick.
00:06:16
Speaker
I missed that game day.
00:06:17
Speaker
Was there any reasoning behind it?
00:06:19
Speaker
Or was he just trying to like shake up the board?
00:06:23
Speaker
I'm not really sure.
00:06:24
Speaker
I kind of had a lower volume because I had a buddy stay with me this past week who doesn't care about football as much.
00:06:30
Speaker
So like I was like kind of talking as they were going through the picks at the end and I just saw it go across the bottom.
00:06:35
Speaker
But so, I mean, that was kind of crazy.
00:06:38
Speaker
And you know what I actually think, because I know this might be a controversy as like a Michigan fan.
00:06:45
Speaker
I'm not a huge Harbaugh fan.
00:06:47
Speaker
And I think that they were playing better without him coaching.
00:06:52
Speaker
And that was his first game back from that suspension.
00:06:55
Speaker
Oh, I thought he had one.
00:06:56
Speaker
I thought it was four total games.
00:06:57
Speaker
I guess I'm probably wrong about that.
00:07:00
Speaker
With Harbaugh on sideline.
00:07:06
Speaker
I mean, again, only 31-7, you could say.
00:07:08
Speaker
But Rutgers was 3-0 for whatever that means.
00:07:11
Speaker
So it wasn't the easiest win.
00:07:15
Speaker
And it's a win's a win, you know, and I think that Michigan is always going to be more conservative.
00:07:20
Speaker
I don't think that they ever really try to run the score up and they'll definitely, when they have feel like they're secured in a win, they'll put in guys to maybe prevent other, you know, their, their true stars from getting hurt.
00:07:33
Speaker
So at least there's that because, you know, Blake Corham got hurt playing against Illinois last year.
00:07:38
Speaker
Yeah, I think Penn State does that too.
00:07:40
Speaker
It's kind of like, look, you got the win locked up.
00:07:43
Speaker
Let's keep guys ready for the real part of the season, which is always the second half.
00:07:47
Speaker
Yeah, and I think you don't want anybody to get hurt, and I think it helps maybe preserve some of the play calling that you might be trying to save, because I...
00:07:57
Speaker
I highly doubt Michigan has shown everything yet because they know they have to play a team like Penn State coming up.
00:08:04
Speaker
And they know they have to play Ohio State.
00:08:06
Speaker
So they're not, I feel like, going to put everything out there.
00:08:08
Speaker
And I will say that that Michigan mentality and probably a lot of Penn State mentality too is just a win is a win.
00:08:15
Speaker
It doesn't matter how much you win by.
00:08:17
Speaker
All that matters is the W. And that's it, really.
00:08:21
Speaker
Especially against some of these teams like
00:08:24
Speaker
31-7 is still technically like you beat the shit out of them.
Penn State, Kentucky, and Anticipation for Key Games
00:08:29
Speaker
Speaking of Penn State, my team, whiteout game, big, big primetime game.
00:08:36
Speaker
Iowa coming in ranked 24.
00:08:40
Speaker
I just looked it up, so we went up one spot.
00:08:42
Speaker
But it's a logjam up top.
00:08:44
Speaker
It's hard to move around up there.
00:08:48
Speaker
We also scored 31 points.
00:08:50
Speaker
The cool thing is, playing a ranked team, how many points did we let up, Pancakes?
00:08:54
Speaker
Are you familiar with?
00:08:58
Speaker
Yeah, you familiar with points?
00:08:59
Speaker
Did we let up any at all?
00:09:01
Speaker
I don't think you did, did you?
00:09:03
Speaker
No, I think we did.
00:09:04
Speaker
I think it was, I may remember this wrong.
00:09:07
Speaker
I think it was the first time since like 2000 that Iowa was shut out.
00:09:13
Speaker
So that was pretty fire.
00:09:15
Speaker
I mean, turnovers galore.
00:09:18
Speaker
Our quarterback had he only had 166 yards, but he had four touchdowns and we just devastated them.
00:09:27
Speaker
Just devastated them.
00:09:28
Speaker
So that was pretty cool.
00:09:30
Speaker
I love a shot, man.
00:09:32
Speaker
You know what else is pretty cool?
00:09:34
Speaker
Aside from that shout out, is that Kentucky actually beat Vanderbilt at Vanderbilt, which is not an accomplishment to many programs, but to Kentucky it is.
00:09:46
Speaker
But they have to play Florida this weekend, who somehow snuck their way back into the rankings somehow because it's Florida.
00:09:53
Speaker
But it's a home game for Kentucky.
00:09:56
Speaker
They just beat someone, Florida.
00:09:59
Speaker
We talked about it last week.
00:10:00
Speaker
Yeah, they did to sneak it back into the top 25.
00:10:05
Speaker
And the team that they beat is, one second, I have to look it up because I didn't actually watch that game.
00:10:10
Speaker
They beat Tennessee.
00:10:12
Speaker
But it was at the Swamp.
00:10:14
Speaker
We actually, it was two weeks ago.
00:10:15
Speaker
That's why I couldn't remember off the top of my head because they played like Charlotte last week, you know, the University of Charlotte.
00:10:21
Speaker
Well, good for them.
00:10:23
Speaker
I mean, we'll see what happens there.
00:10:24
Speaker
I mean, look, before we get off the Penn State thing, four fumble recoveries.
00:10:29
Speaker
I mean, this defense is kind of fire, man.
00:10:33
Speaker
Michigan-Penn State is going to be fucking an awesome game.
00:10:37
Speaker
I really hope we beat Ohio State, obviously, but even more so under our circumstances.
00:10:45
Speaker
So we'll see what happens.
00:10:46
Speaker
But do you think Kentucky has a shot going back to –
00:10:49
Speaker
the subject that you changed to changing back to that subject.
00:10:54
Speaker
You know what the head coach Mark Stoops said, uh, he said on KSR, he said, I have great confidence in the people of Kentucky to get up early and pound some beers.
00:11:07
Speaker
And that's what he said about Kentucky kickoff against Florida because it's a noon kickoff.
00:11:11
Speaker
And I love that he said that.
00:11:12
Speaker
So I really hope that, uh,
00:11:15
Speaker
Lexington doesn't let him down.
00:11:18
Speaker
I hope everybody pounds some beers, gets there, is loud.
00:11:21
Speaker
Because he's not a big fan of noon kickoffs.
00:11:23
Speaker
Mark Stoops isn't.
00:11:25
Speaker
And the game in Kentucky is kind of historically not great at noon kickoffs.
00:11:31
Speaker
Try living on the West Coast where you got to watch fucking football at 9 a.m.
00:11:36
Speaker
Coffee and football.
00:11:37
Speaker
Pounding some coffee and watching the game, man.
00:11:40
Speaker
We'll definitely see.
00:11:43
Speaker
I'm sure that I'll get mad and I'll, you know, just be upset in general because I'm sure that it's going to be a real challenge for Kentucky because Florida always is.
00:11:54
Speaker
But it's college and they're two kind of, no offense,
00:11:59
Speaker
especially this year, kind of mid-tier teams.
00:12:02
Speaker
Florida hoping to be more than that, but I think anything could happen.
00:12:05
Speaker
I think you guys could get them.
00:12:07
Speaker
I'll be very happy if they do, obviously.
00:12:11
Speaker
Go assorted cats, dude.
00:12:15
Speaker
I always try to be realistic about this, and I say that, and then it'll be Saturday, and I'll have it in my head that they're going to win, and then they might not be that way.
00:12:29
Speaker
So we'll see what happens with that.
00:12:31
Speaker
But while we're talking about football, there's a whole nother league after college.
00:12:36
Speaker
If you're really good, you can go.
00:12:37
Speaker
It's called the NFL.
00:12:39
Speaker
Have you heard of the NFL?
00:12:45
Speaker
You know, it's not cool.
00:12:47
Speaker
Letting up 70 fucking points in a game in the fucking NFL where you're supposed to be
NFL Highlights: Dolphins' Historic Win and Patriots' Struggles
00:12:52
Speaker
the top 1% of athletes in the world.
00:12:55
Speaker
It was like the third of all time, wasn't it?
00:12:58
Speaker
A point scored in an NFL game.
00:12:59
Speaker
I think they had a chance to kick a field goal to tie or break the all-time scoring record.
00:13:05
Speaker
You might see 70 points in college.
00:13:08
Speaker
Yeah, against a D1 school, against a D2 school.
00:13:12
Speaker
Yeah, like Oregon playing some dumb shit or whatever.
00:13:16
Speaker
Um, you don't really see, like we just talked about Michigan and Penn state aren't like run up the score schools, but like, you know, you do see some like Ohio state kind of shitty, like they'll run up the score at Oregon.
00:13:26
Speaker
Um, but this is the pros man.
00:13:29
Speaker
Like even the worst team in the pros should be able to like dominate any, any college team, you know, and fucking Denver Broncos looked like a college team against the Miami dolphins, dude.
00:13:43
Speaker
That was pretty crazy.
00:13:46
Speaker
I love that that happened, though, because I can't stand the Broncos and even more so I can't stand Russell Wilson.
00:13:50
Speaker
And I think this was part of the episode that got cut out or, you know, that we couldn't recover last week.
00:13:56
Speaker
Is the guy on TikTok that does a series every week.
00:14:00
Speaker
He's like, how long into the seasons?
00:14:02
Speaker
Does it take for Russell Wilson to throw as many touchdown passes as he has bathrooms in his house?
00:14:07
Speaker
He has 12 bathrooms in his house.
00:14:09
Speaker
So he updates after every Broncos game how close Russell Wilson is to achieving throwing as many touchdown passes as there are bathrooms in his house.
00:14:19
Speaker
And I mean, he's chipping away at it, I guess, but it's like embarrassingly long.
00:14:25
Speaker
I mean, he did have 306 yards, but it took him 36 passes, Russell Wilson.
00:14:32
Speaker
Tula, in 26 passes, so 10 less pass attempts, had three more yards than him.
00:14:38
Speaker
He had four touchdowns.
00:14:42
Speaker
Tavon Achain, I don't even know this guy.
00:14:46
Speaker
He's kind of like, I think, the speed back for Miami.
00:14:49
Speaker
He had 203 rushing yards, two touchdowns.
00:14:52
Speaker
Raheem Mostert had 82 yards and three touchdowns.
00:14:55
Speaker
I mean, it's like, dude, look at these numbers.
00:14:58
Speaker
Tyreek Hill, 157 yards and a touchdown.
00:15:01
Speaker
It's like video game numbers.
00:15:03
Speaker
You know what I mean?
00:15:04
Speaker
Yeah, it's like Madden numbers, and you put it on rookie mode.
00:15:08
Speaker
And you play the Dolphins versus the Broncos, and it's absolutely ridiculous.
00:15:16
Speaker
So that's the NFL right now.
00:15:19
Speaker
I'd like to give a shout-out the fact that this happened a week ago.
00:15:24
Speaker
My boys, the Patriots, only lost by seven points 24-17 to these Miami Dolphins who just went and ran up to score.
00:15:34
Speaker
So I know you were like, no, there's no glory in a loss.
00:15:39
Speaker
But, I mean, we lost by five to the Eagles.
00:15:43
Speaker
Lost by seven to the Dolphins, who are out here dropping 70 points.
00:15:48
Speaker
And then we just went and beat the Jets.
00:15:50
Speaker
It was kind of an ugly, sloppy game, but we beat the Jets 15th time in a row.
00:15:54
Speaker
We've beaten the Jets.
00:15:56
Speaker
Imagine being a Jets fan.
00:15:59
Speaker
15 times lost straight to the Patriots, a division rival, and your boy Aaron Rodgers is fucking limping around.
00:16:09
Speaker
So, sucks to be from New York, but...
00:16:14
Speaker
It definitely does because the Jets and the Giants are just both awful, awful teams.
00:16:20
Speaker
And you know what?
00:16:22
Speaker
I don't care that they're awful because I don't like any New York teams.
00:16:27
Speaker
Well, we happen to both have a New York team in our division, so we have a special reason to not be thrilled with New York teams.
00:16:35
Speaker
I have the Jets, you have the Giants.
00:16:37
Speaker
So no offense to New York or anything, but you're just in our divisions, so we got to hate.
00:16:46
Speaker
You guys did all right, yeah?
00:16:49
Speaker
Yeah, you know, 3-0.
00:16:50
Speaker
Yeah, beat the Buccaneers 25-11.
00:16:55
Speaker
Yeah, this is good for my fantasy team too because Jalen Hurts is my fantasy quarterback this year.
00:17:01
Speaker
This dude, Swift, you have at running back is pretty good.
00:17:09
Speaker
That's the only Kelsey Swift combo that I care about right now.
00:17:13
Speaker
I was trying to stay away from it because I know you're blowing your top.
00:17:16
Speaker
That's the one little quip I'm getting in.
00:17:18
Speaker
The only Kelsey, the real Kelsey Swift combo right there.
00:17:23
Speaker
But that's pretty good.
00:17:25
Speaker
I'll give you credit for that.
00:17:28
Speaker
So we'll see what happens.
00:17:29
Speaker
Your Eagles are 3-0.
00:17:32
Speaker
But, you know, we beat the Jets 15th time in a row.
00:17:36
Speaker
And maybe that type of season for the Pats where we're like, hey, at least we beat the Jets 15th time straight.
00:17:41
Speaker
Like, we're not going to do anything this year.
00:17:43
Speaker
But, you know, hey, look at that.
00:17:45
Speaker
But again, I mean, Eagles, Dolphins, and the Super Bowl, not a crazy, not a crazy thought, right?
00:17:55
Speaker
If we're losing by one score to two Super Bowl teams, we'll see.
00:18:03
Speaker
Anybody but the Chiefs, you know?
00:18:05
Speaker
Well, do you know?
00:18:06
Speaker
So we're playing the Cowboys this week.
Patriots vs. Cowboys Preview and Belichick's Strategy
00:18:09
Speaker
And I don't know if you saw what happened to the Cowboys, but they lost to Arizona.
00:18:16
Speaker
And I laughed because I obviously do not care for the Cowboys.
00:18:21
Speaker
Yeah, they've been tossing salt all over the place, right?
00:18:25
Speaker
Talking hella smack.
00:18:27
Speaker
And you guys lost in Arizona.
00:18:30
Speaker
So now we have to go play the Cowboys.
00:18:32
Speaker
I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing.
00:18:34
Speaker
It feels like a bad thing.
00:18:35
Speaker
Like, okay, we just lost Arizona.
00:18:37
Speaker
We cannot get punked again.
00:18:41
Speaker
But Zeke Elliott, who we just signed from the Cowboys, he's got to know some things about the Cowboys that can help us.
00:18:47
Speaker
I think he's going to have a revenge game, dude.
00:18:49
Speaker
I think the Patriots are going to win that game.
00:18:51
Speaker
I think Zeke Elliott's going to be like, all right, I'm about to show you all what you're missing again.
00:18:57
Speaker
I hope he pops off.
00:18:58
Speaker
I hope he does, too.
00:18:59
Speaker
And you give Belichick that much tape of how to beat a team, which is basically like run the ball straight at Micah Parsons, like...
00:19:06
Speaker
I don't know, man.
00:19:07
Speaker
Zeke might have a field day.
00:19:08
Speaker
That would be pretty fucking awesome.
00:19:10
Speaker
And that can be our little Super Bowl.
00:19:12
Speaker
Belichick probably put Zeke Elliott into an interrogation room and hooked him up to a polygraph and asked him questions about the Cowboys, knowing his history.
00:19:21
Speaker
Oh, you know he's a psychopath.
00:19:23
Speaker
Belichick works 27 hours a day out of 24 hours.
00:19:26
Speaker
You know what I'm saying?
00:19:28
Speaker
This guy wants all the secrets.
00:19:30
Speaker
So we'll see what happens there.
00:19:31
Speaker
But that would be kind of cool for us, a team that's like,
00:19:35
Speaker
you know, maybe hopefully you make the playoffs at this point, but you know, you're not going to the super bowl or anything.
00:19:40
Speaker
So let's beat the fuck out of the Cowboys.
00:19:42
Speaker
You have a little celebration.
00:19:44
Speaker
So we'll see what happens.
00:19:47
Speaker
I think that's everything we have on our agenda.
00:19:52
Speaker
It is, you know, go assorted cats as we say.
00:19:57
Speaker
Go with Sword of Cats.
00:19:59
Speaker
If your team is named after a net, I don't wish you the best of luck if it comes to college football.
00:20:06
Speaker
And that's about it.
00:20:07
Speaker
I don't know what we have to break on.
00:20:08
Speaker
I guess I'll break for Zeke Elliott revenge game.
00:20:11
Speaker
Sounds good to me.
00:20:14
Speaker
And I'll make up mine after yours.
Conclusion and Humorous Banter
00:20:17
Speaker
All right, let's hit mine up.
00:20:25
Speaker
Okay, well, what the fuck was that?
00:20:26
Speaker
It's been a while.
00:20:28
Speaker
Actually, I think we hit it.
00:20:29
Speaker
I think we did hit it.
00:20:31
Speaker
I'll break on Go Birds, the real Kelsey Swift.
00:20:43
Speaker
Sorry, one of those has to be, right?
00:20:46
Speaker
If not, there's always editing.
00:20:48
Speaker
You know what I'm saying?
00:20:50
Speaker
We'll manipulate it if we don't get it right.
00:20:52
Speaker
Then you'll just never know.
00:20:53
Speaker
We're going to have to.
