We’ve got some bonus content for ya! Freddie on the Flyve is a segment that is exclusively for our Patreon page, but we decided to open it up to everyone during the pandemic and NBA suspension so we can provide as much content as possible for you to pass the time! Producer Matt calls Freddie and asks him five random questions to elaborate on. Basketball related, world related, and even Flubber related.

We hope everyone is making out okay during this wild and isolating time. This is now our second episode during the COVID-19 crisis and, other than Terrence Davis scarfing down donuts and being reprimanded by Serge, we don’t have much news to tell you on the Raptors’ front. But we do have so many memories and favourite moments that the Raptors have given us, don’t we? We thought, why not do a segment where we ask around to some of our awesome past guests and see what memories they have that they want to share? Special guests on this episode include Jess Nicolette, Thomas Rivas, Paulina Vu, Your Boy Brian and Cathryn Naiker! We’re gonna keep dishing out content for you during this weird and scary time and we hope it provides some distraction. Thanks for tuning in!

Hey pals. These are some wild times and we hope all of you are safe and managing well during this crisis. The NBA has been suspended and the Raptors are all under quarantine, so we don’t really have much Raptors’ news to talk about other than Serge’s cool quarantine gym or Boucher breaking out for a bit. But we want to sooth you with some content in any way we can, so we decided to do an Ultimate Coach Ranking segment (active coaches) to give you some fun, juicy content. We went so long that we decided to break the episode into two parts: The bottom 15 and the top 15. Special guests joining us on the pod this week are former co-host Kevin Dowse and comedian Matt McCready! Be well, everybody! Stay tuned tomorrow for part 02: the top 15 coaches!

The Raptors had a very successful west-coast trip, going 4-1 and sit with a record of 46-18. We’re starting to think about playoffs, oh boy!

Not panicked but we are a little worried with how this could affect playoff matchups. RAPS: We talk concerns in relation to the losing streak, thoughts on OG’s career night and predict the week ahead for the Raptors.
