Michigan Pothole & NCAA Bracket Survival 101

Description 2

Michigan roads in late winter feel less like transportation and more like survival. I start by venting about Southeast Michigan potholes that look like moon craters, why “construction” often feels like cones with no progress, and the one idea I genuinely want to exist. I also lay out my five survival tactics, from never trusting a puddle to accepting the financial pain the second you hear that “that sounded expensive” thud.

Then we flip the switch to March Madness and the NCAA tournament bracket. I talk through why the first Thursday to Sunday is the best stretch in sports, how NIL and the transfer portal have changed the upset math, and what I’m seeing with the Michigan Wolverines as a one seed after getting handled by Purdue. Depth matters in March, and losing a key bench point guard right before the tournament is the kind of problem that turns “national championship or bust” into a real test. I also get into the Michigan State Spartans draw, why their region is stacked, and how rivalry storylines still shape how we experience the bracket.

Finally, I go off the court and into real life: doctor appointments, physicals, blood tests, and why you should not wait until something feels wrong to get checked out. I share one of the coolest ideas I’ve heard, Sweden’s program for blood donors and why that kind of feedback could change how people see blood donation and community health.

Yellow, yellow, yellow what is up. It is cooking with gas. Again, your boy Jared here. And we got lots to talk about today. Obviously, the brackets are released for March Madness. That is what we will be diving into shortly here. But before I get into all that hoops, hoop la, I have some ranting to do about these Michigan roads. Because if you're from Michigan, you know what I'm going to dig into right here, and that is the potholes you have to dodge on the road. It is something of such massive proportion, it can only be explained if you experience it. Look, driving in Michigan, it's it's defensive maneuver training, okay? You are out there driving like it is fast in the furious Southeast Michigan drift. The potholes out here don't even look like potholes. These things are straight geological events, moon craters, okay? You hit one and and your car is just it just says, okay, it's my last day. You could have the pothole Olympics out there. No lie. It is the bronze medal. It could be the full send, we'll call it, where you don't even break, you just accept your fate. You just run it over and and and whatever happens, happens. For for the silver, you could have the maybe it's not that deep gamble where you're coming up to it, you see it, maybe it's raining a little bit, so maybe it's filled with a little bit of water, and you're like, hmm, it's not that deep, and now your suspension is completely shattered. And then the gold metal last swerve when you see it and you jerk your wheel like there's a two-year-old child that ran out into the middle of the road, and then the person behind you is like, oh shit, smokes it, and then they're screwed. I mean, I'm sorry, but this is warfare out there, and it is everybody for themselves. I do believe that we should have a pothole app specifically for the state of Michigan and these roads. This might be my greatest idea ever. Just like I can go into my Google Maps, or if you use Waze or any type of GPS that you have, you usually can say where there's construction or if there's a piece of debris in the road or where there's a cop. You can kind of give people a little bit of a warning. You should absolutely be able to do that for potholes and what lane they're in while you're driving. Because this shit is out of control. I I seriously no lie think that the tire companies are in some type of conspiracy with the Michigan government because they are making a ton of money through, I'd say, late February into late April, even May. These roads are just chewing up and spitting out people's tires, rims, and whole cars, suspensions, anything. The cars are not surviving. I see on my commute about four cars sitting on the side of the road every time I'm driving. It takes me double the time to get to where I need to go because now I am just constantly worried that I'm going to get swallowed whole by a pothole monster on my way to wherever I'm going. Does not matter if it's five minutes up the road to the gym or an hour away because you have to go visit some family. It doesn't matter. And then the construction, I mean, they they fix like one road and create four new problems, but then when you're driving, you see cones everywhere, but no workers. No, there's nobody around. At this point, they just need to put potholes on the actual driver's test that you take. It needs to be like, all right, today we're testing for parallel parking, merging, and avoiding a crater the size of Lake Michigan. Then the miracle comes where they actually do fix it, and you've memorized where these potholes are, and now you're just swerving for no reason, looking insane while you're out there. But it never stays fixed. Whatever that cheap ass tar and rocks, whatever the hell they they smash down into these holes, just comes right back up, and then all that shit is even worse when they're fixing it because you have to dodge them because if you run it over, all it does is shoot that nasty shit all up onto your car, it sticks into your paint, it sticks to your undercarriage, it sticks everywhere. It's an absolute mess. The state is an absolute mess. I mean, our governor actually ran on the fact that she was going to literally quote unquote fix the damn roads. That's what her slogan was. No roads have been fixed. No roads have been fixed. As a matter of fact, all you see, like I said previously, are cones everywhere but no workers. So basically they're shutting down all these lanes, causing all these traffic jams. There's no workers out there working, they're not fixing any potholes. All you are is late to work or having to repair your vehicle. I mean, these things, you like memorize them as landmarks. And you can tell people, hey, that somebody stops up, they're like, hey, uh, do you know how to get to this place? And you're like, yeah, take a left at that gas station and avoid the crater right before the light. If you hit the second one, you've gone too far. And hopefully, hopefully it's not raining because now it is not a pothole. It is a straight mystery box. You're like, okay, this could be a pothole, or it could be the end of my financial stability as I know it. I mean, it all comes down to living in Southeast Michigan teaches you three things patience, reflexes, and how to emotionally detach yourself from whatever vehicle you have. Because most likely it is going to get shattered on these roads, and you're either going to be having to get a brand new one or repairing every little piece of the one that you have, and it's not even the car that you remember. So that is what it is like living in Southeast Michigan from late winter into the early spring. And you become one of three people. You become the I pay taxes warrior that hits every pothole on purpose like it's revenge. You become the slow roller going 12 miles an hour in a 45, basically telling everyone behind you, look, I am not messing up my suspension for none of you people. Or you are the zigzag assassin swerving left and right like you were in a John Wick car chase scene, no signal, hoping to get to where you need to go as quick as possible. Those ones are usually the ones that survive. I hate to say that, but be careful out there, folks. Don't be running into other people. So I am going to give you the top five survival tactics right now, okay? So, number one, never trust a puddle. Okay. If you see water on the road, do not be brave. That is not a puddle. It is a trap. It is the pothole in disguise baiting you, saying, come closer, because he will ruin your whole week. Rule number two, look, memorize the battlefield. Like I said, until they come up with the idea that I have for being able to warn people about potholes in your GPS, until that happens, your GPS is not saving you. Okay? You gotta remember the potholes like they are your family members. That one on the left over there, yeah, that's big Mike. Avoid him. He does not play. Okay? And rule number three, look, you gotta swerve. Sounds dangerous, I know. Don't be running into people next to you. You have to master the swerve, be safe. It's okay. It's just Michigan defensive training. All right? That's what it is this time of year. Rule number four, look, we all gotta accept the financial loss early. You hit the pothole, immediately you turn down your music, and you're like that sounded expensive. Not if, but how much? We all know that feeling. And rule number five, again, construction means nothing. You will see cones, you will see signs, barriers, zero progress though. At this point, construction in Michigan seriously is just road decorations, so don't even believe anything you see. That is Jared's survival guide to the roads in Southeast Michigan. Godspeed out there, everyone. And as I promised, I am going to move on to what is an extremely, extremely exciting time. If you are a sports fan, pretty much of any kind. Sure, you know, we got these people out here that that watch sports more than others. They watch basketball, or like myself, I watch hockey more than others, college football. It doesn't matter. But if you are a sports fan, you get into March Madness. And if you don't, more power to you. Don't know what kind of sports you're into, but the first week of March Madness is it's the most exciting event that I can think of in sports. The first week, that weekend from Thursday to Sunday is so packed with just hoops, hoops, and more hoops. And it's just so fun to watch. There's so many upsets. Well, usually back in the day, there were a lot more upsets. Now, with the way college basketball is structured or college sports in general is structured, the upsets have kind of dwindled down a little bit. Last year, a lot of it went chalk. There were not that many upsets, and the transfer portal NIL has definitely changed the way these upsets occur and how often they occur, which we'll see this year again if that happens. I kind of expect this year to be, I don't know, kind of mere last year. These teams that are smaller, I mean, they got shots. That's why they're in the tournament, but they just can't compete with these other teams. It's plain and simple. They you and everyone wants to see that upset. You know, you you root for these like small teams to beat the bigger ones. The problem is you don't want to see these upsets in like the Sweet 16 or Elite Eight, because those games become absolutely terrible, and the teams that should be in there are sitting at home. So this upset 14, 13 seed is playing like a one or a two seed, and then they get blue out. Look, we all want to see good games. I want to see good games. If that means this 11, 12, or say a 16 seed takes a one seed to the wire, that that's what I want to see. But I do not want to see the 16 seed win. That that I do not want to see it. Because the 16 seed will not be making it to the final four. And then you're giving a good team, one of the one, two, or three seeds, this little cakewalk to get deep into the tournament. And sure, you want your squad to have that cakewalk, I guess. When it when that team loses in in your region, you're like, oh shit, okay, now I got a little bit of an easier path to get to where I want my team to be. But ultimately, in the end, I want to see the best teams play each other. That's what this tournament is all about. So we'll see how it plays out this year. Now we have obviously our in-state teams, Michigan and Michigan State, that are involved in this tournament heavily. You have the number one seed Michigan, who deserves that number one seed. You have the number three seed Michigan State. Now, Michigan State got bumped down to a three seed late last week when Michigan ended up losing to Purdue in the conference championship game of the Big Ten. Michigan got their ass handed to them by Purdue. I give Purdue all the flowers in the world. They kicked Michigan's teeth in in that game, beat them in every facet. There are multiple times when I was watching the squad that I root for, Michigan Wolverines. You're watching your team get smoked like that. You honestly don't know what to think, especially when the tournament's coming up. You want your team to be playing at its highest level going into the tournament. However, Michigan had a ton of consecutive wins. At some point in time, you're gonna lose. Look, you have to win six straight games in order to win the national championship. It's not necessarily that hard to do realistically, but the competition that you're going up against is the hard part. So, yes, it is hard to do to win those six games. It's not hard to win six games in a row when you're playing in the season. It is hard to win six games in a row in the tournament. Usually you play two games, break, two games, break. You know, it's played on the weekends. It's basically like a three-week two-game tournaments that are played. I kind of figure that's how you need to look at it as a squad. Look, we have a two-game tournament here, two-game tournament on this weekend, and then a two-game tournament here to win it all. But Michigan, man, they did not and do not look good right now. I had uh I had I have a ton of hope for Michigan to win the national championship this year. It is still national championship or bust for my Michigan Wolverines. Nothing is going to change that. The only way that I will change national championship or bust is if in this first weekend one of our absolute key players gets injured. Now we lost a significant player in LJ Kasen. He was our second point guard, he was the best bench point guard in the country. He averaged 12 to 13 points a game. He has not been on our team for about two to three weeks now, and it is noticeable. When you lose someone of that caliber right before the tournament, especially, it's not a good situation. Duke lost someone as well. So two of the four one seeds have lost important pieces of their teams before going into this tournament, and that is going to play heavily on these teams. Both Michigan and Duke have some cleaning up to do. Duke, to me, still looks like the team to beat Duke and Arizona. I have to put Duke and Arizona above Michigan right now. I know a lot of people that are Michigan fans are saying that they firmly believe Michigan's gonna clean up their act, they're gonna start to play better. That's great. I wish I had that same confidence, like full confidence. Do I think they can clean their act up? Hell yeah, I think they can clean their act up. And hell yeah, I think they can win the national championship. Michigan has a squad, man. They are nasty, they are big, they are physical. But losing someone like your bench point guard who averages that many points a game, it's gonna sting you. You need to have other people step up. And if you don't have that individual who does that, you're probably gonna get burned in the tournament. You're gonna run into a team that is shooting hot, they're gonna clown you out on the court, and your ass is gonna be shipped home real quick. With Michigan State, they well, I mean, Michigan kind of screwed them. Look, Michigan State, fans, teams, players, students, Michigan and Michigan State, they just they're oil and water, man. These guys hate each other when it comes to sports. It is a solid, solid rivalry. It's gotten out of control over the last couple years, to be honest. The hatred that's there between these two teams is man, it is potent, but at the same time, it is good for sports when you have that type of heated rivalry. But I don't need no hatred. I've said it in previous podcasts before. I don't need these guys to hate each other. I need them to hate losing. Okay. And when you play these rivals of yours, you want to be at the top of your game. Now, Michigan State was projected to be a two-seed. And being a two and a three, yeah, it's different, but it's not the end of the world. However, the reason they got the three-seed was because Michigan lost to Purdue. Usually during this time of year, the conference tournaments don't really matter much to these committees who are deciding where they're going to place these teams in what region and in what seed. All of a sudden this year, they start to decide that the conference championship is this type of important tournament, and the people who win and who lose, it could affect their seeding. Now, Michigan has been so solid all year long that no matter what happened to them in the Big Ten tournament, they were gonna be the one seed. It was never gonna, never gonna stop them from being in the one seed no matter where they fell in the Big Ten tournament. So they made it to the championship game in the Big Ten tournament and got their ass handed to them by Purdue. Again, congratulations to Purdue. They deserved every bit of that. Purdue was the preseason number one coming into this year. And they just haven't looked it as of late. However, this past Sunday, when they kicked Michigan's teeth in, they sure as hell looked like they could be a one seed. They looked great, they were solid, they shot the ball impeccably. It was impressive to watch, and Michigan deserved every bit of that ass kicking. I don't know if they went out there thinking that they were just gonna handle them. I don't think that that was even the case. Because if you say that, I think you take a bit of credit away from Purdue when you say, oh, my team just went out there, or this team went out there and thought that they were just gonna win and they didn't show up. No, Michigan didn't show up. But it wasn't because Purdue wasn't doing things to shut them down, because they sure as hell were. Purdue was straight up clowning Michigan all game long in that game. Michigan was lucky to be tied with them at halftime. So Michigan's gonna have to find these chinks in the armor that they have and repair them real quick, because the tournament is coming up. Michigan State? Man, did they get a tough draw in their east region of the bracket? I mean, in Michigan State's bracket, you have Duke as the one seed, you have Yukon as the two seed, Michigan State, the three, Kansas as the four, St. John's as the five, Louisville as the six. I mean, this is just in their region. That is a is a region I do not want any part of. Now, that's where I say Michigan kind of really stuck it to Michigan State. If Michigan would have beaten Purdue in that conference championship game of the Big Ten, Michigan State would still be the two seed. But the fact that Purdue played some pretty solid ball going down the stretch of the season, they bumped Michigan State out of that two seed and stole it from them after they beat Michigan. So I I always raz my Michigan State friends and family about how Michigan just wanted to stick it to Michigan State one last time. Because if I was a Michigan State fan, that's what I would feel like. I'd be like, what the hell? We hate Michigan enough as it is. Now these guys, we we have nothing to do with the game whatsoever. Michigan, who looks like one of the best teams in the country all season long, has to lose to Purdue and then it moves us down a full seed. Who knows where Michigan State would have ended up if Michigan would have won that game? I don't think they would have ended up in the in the same region as they are in right now. I do feel that the loss that Michigan took to Purdue, putting Purdue into that two seed, completely moved Michigan State from where they were gonna be as the two seed. Once they got that three, I mean, wow. And for some reason, the committee always puts Michigan State with Duke. It's just, I think it's the matchup. It used to be the Sheshevsky versus Izzo matchup that everyone wanted to see. However, you know, Shashevsky's not even there anymore. So I don't understand the infatuation that the NCAA has with Duke and Michigan State playing each other. Sure, they're both blue bloods, they're both usually fantastic teams, so the game is gonna be good. But wow, did Michigan State kind of definitely get punched in the nuts with the draw that they got in the East region? I'm not gonna like dig into who I think is going to win this tournament. I'm not gonna dig into the bracket. It's really you could go on all day talking about how you think this bracket is going to shape up. You just don't know. There are regions that have a ton of talent in them, there are regions that look a little easier. I would say that Michigan has the easiest region. Now, Michigan, they do have, you know, four number one seeds, but even those number one seeds are are ranked. So Duke was the number one overall, Arizona was the second number one, and and Michigan was the third number one overall seed. How Michigan basically gets the what looks like and appears to be the easier route in the Midwest region just makes me laugh. You would think that Duke, being the number one overall seed, would get the what would appear to be the easiest region. I mean, who knows? Again, any of these teams can beat any of the other. That's why it's called March Madness. But Michigan's road to the Final Four looks a lot easier than people like Michigan State's or Duke's or Yukon. In Michigan's Midwest region, it was just it just happened. Alabama is the four seed in Michigan's region. Alabama's a solid team. They would they would scare me if I had to play Alabama. Well, they're starting. Guard just got arrested for having a pound of weed in his car. I pretty much guarantee dude won't be playing. These guys are getting he from what I understand, he was getting like a ridiculous amount of NIL money, but yet still wanting to be some like plug for drugs. I I I have no idea what these idiot kids are thinking. It's like you try to pull them out of the problems they're having in their life and give them this opportunity, and for some reason they still get sucked into the bullshit that's going on. I I I feel I feel no sympathy for this dumbass kid on Alabama who was rolling around with a pound of weed in his car. Look, it wasn't a pound of heroin or coke or any crazy shit like that. I get it. But you still, I mean, it's a bit excessive to be rolling around with a pound of weed. That's a lot of weed, okay? There's no reason to be driving around with it. Put that shit in your apartment and keep it there. Don't be stupid. But these are college kids. So when you say don't be stupid, I think we all know, you know, a lot of college kids, if not, you know, majority of them, are pretty fucking stupid. And this one tops it. He he tops the list right now. I mean, imagine being a fan of Alabama. They're a four-seed. Imagine being one of the players on Alabama. You're a four-seed, and one of your top players is rolling around like he's some kind of drug kingpin. Again, I get it. It's weed. So he's not dealing some wild shit. However, dude, you're a college student, man. You're playing hoops, you're in the tournament. Just play basketball, man. You're also getting paid to be there. What the hell are we doing trying to push a pound of weed? It's incredible stuff. I mean, if you are a one through four seed in the tournament, I you know what? I might even say a one through five. If you are a top five seed in the tournament, I give you a solid chance to make the final four. If you go on that four-game run, you can get to the final four. You just gotta play some good hoops, man. And now this dude screws his team, screws the school, the fans. I mean, I I'd be so furious if I was was a fan of that team as them being a four seed, and now you lose one of your top players because he's just being a fucking clown out there. But hey, that's life. People make mistakes. I'm not gonna bury the kid completely. He made a mistake. He just made it at the extremely wrong time. Wrong time to make the mistake, man. So we roll into March Madness this week. It's an exciting, exciting time. Everyone's gonna be watching these games most likely. I think I filled out like 20 brackets. Look, no one's gonna win the bracket challenge. It's not gonna happen. It's just pure guessing. I mean, my bracket name is cooking with bad picks. That's all it is. It's you're picking, you're picking some teams, you're hoping that they win. That's all you're gonna do. By usually by Saturday, the games start on Thursday. By Saturday, 95% of people out there, their bracket is completely blown up, and you're just watching the games because you're a sports fan and not because you're gonna be winning any money. That's just the way these brackets roll. But it still is fun to do. Talk about the brackets with your friends, go into some pools where you can win some money on the brackets. It is a fun time. It is much funner, which I can tell you because Michigan hasn't been this good all the time. It is much funner when your team is winning. Being able to have Michigan be a one seed is something that I mean, I you just you don't experience as a fan much. So the fact that they're a one, uh, I'm in love with this time of year right now. And of course, if they weren't in the tournament, I wouldn't nearly be excited as excited about it. I mean, I'm not gonna sit here and act like I'm some crazy college hoops savant. That's not what this is here. I have been following college hoops very closely this year simply because my team is badass. Yes, I love sports and I watch college hoops all the time, but you follow it closer when your team is that good. And Michigan is damn good. So for those of you that hate Michigan, you're gonna be rooting for them to lose, and you can stick it to me if they do. But that's a big if. And if your team loses, you better be ready for me to come at you just as hard as I know you would be coming at me. Because this is the time to talk shit, it's the time to have fun, it's the time to raz your friends and family that are on the opposite side. Just don't take it too seriously. Look, it's not the end of the world here. We're not saving the manatees, okay? This is college hoops. Everyone have a good time with it. Have fun watching March Madness. I do have one off completely off-topic thing here. I have to go to a doctor's appointment this week. Listen, if you're an individual who doesn't go to the doctor and look, if you're young, you can kind of get away with it. Okay, if you're young, you're in your 20s or something, you can kind of get away with not going to the doctor, not going for physicals and checkups. Usually you your parents or whatever are still kind of taking care of that for you when you're at that age, so it does occur a little bit more. Took me a long time to get my shit together and start to see a doctor, and and it took everything for me for me to go there. You know, usually you're going to see a doctor, and it's not going to be great news. You're not going to the doctor, you're not going to walk out of there and just be like, holy shit, you have a clean bill of health, heart rate, blood pressure, cholesterol, everything's 100%. We wish that would occur, right? It just doesn't. If you're if you're getting up there, go see a doctor. All right. So I got a doctor's appointment this weekend. It's basically like a full physical, just going in there to check everything, make sure everything is all good and I'm not dying. I gotta give blood when I'm there for some blood tests. I also usually like give blood just for a donation. And when I read that this country was doing what it was doing, it was one of the coolest things I've ever heard. So in Sweden, they have this amazing program that notifies donors via text message whenever their donated blood is used to save a life. It's uh it's a gesture that expresses the gratitude to the selflessness to the individuals who who donated the blood. Also, it reinforces the tangible impact of their generosity. It says by providing this personal connection and feedback, Sweden aims to inspire more citizens to become regular blood donors and help maintain a robust, life-saving blood supply. How freaking awesome is that? Just think for one second. You could be having we all have bad days. We wake up or whatever happens during our day, it's just a bad day. Could you imagine receiving a text message from any type of program, whether it's from the government, whether it's whether it's from a private type of establishment? It doesn't matter where the text message comes from. Could you imagine receiving a text message on a bad day that you're having that your blood was just used to save somebody's life? And I don't know anybody out there that would continue to have a bad day. I know I wouldn't. I know if I received a text message from any type of company that said, Jared, your blood was just used to save a four-year-old little girl's life or a 25-year-old male's life, it wouldn't matter whose life my blood was used to save. I would feel I would feel amazing. I think that is something every single country needs to look into. Sweden is obviously ahead of us on that one, but I thought it was the coolest just one of the coolest things I've ever heard. I that that would be that would be something super cool to receive text message saying that you actually saved someone's life just from them being able to use your blood on them. Again, if you guys out there, if you're listening, if you're second guessing, going to the doctor, or you don't have to be feeling sick or feeling bad or have any ailments to potentially have something going on that you don't know about. And I care about all my listeners, I care about all my friends and all my family, I care about everybody out there. And I I want people to be healthy. There were many, many times in my life when I wasn't. And right now I am I am lucky enough to be pretty much the healthiest that I've ever been. And hopefully when I go to the doctor this week and they run all these tests, those tests come back, and I am still continuing to be in that shape and in that health. Because your health is number one. You can have a lot of things in your life that are going well, but as soon as your health starts to go down, that's that's all that matters. So if you wake up in the morning and and you have family and you have friends and you have your health especially, just be thankful for all of that. Because it is an important thing. Your health means everything, your family, your friends, they mean everything. But I think it just needs to be said because sometimes people out there, we take things for granted. We take our health for granted, we take things in our life for granted, we take the people around us for granted. Let's do our best to not do that anymore. Alright? Well, I definitely don't want to take any more of your time for granted, and I don't want to take the listeners for granted. So thank you for listening to this episode of Cooking With Gas.

Again, this is the funnest thing that I do in my life. I have so much fun doing this, and and I wouldn't be able to do it without any one of you. I do want to give a quick shout out to two of my avid listeners, Connor and Chase, two solid real OGs. Keep listening, love you guys. Can't ask for anything more out of my listeners. And like I said, you got family? Give them a call. Tell them you miss them, tell me you love them. Well, peace out, have a great week. Go blue.
