The Pat & Aaron Show begins by discussing how amazing the opening day of baseball is, and that it's a good vibe. Aaron says you have optimism when the season starts because there are 162 games, and anything is possible. But Pat disagrees and says that there are teams that probably don't have a chance at all. Then Aaron debates about the energy Pat brought to the beginning of the show, but Pat explains why he is thinking that way. The conversation transitions to the Tampa Bay Lightning, and Pat says he is slightly concerned about the team right now. Aaron says tonight's game against the Carolina Hurricanes is a good test for the Tampa Bay Lightning.
The discussion in the next segment is a debate about which MLB teams don't have a chance, and Aaron disagrees with a few of them....including the Seattle Mariners. The guys discuss if it was a shock or not when the Atlanta Braves won the World Series two years ago, and Aaron reads off other teams, including the Cubs, Nationals, and more! Then Pat & Aaron discuss Wander Franco, as he is saying that he is 100% ready to go, and if he should be playing during the first game! The hour ends with Today's Top Headlines.
The 7:00 AM hour of The Pat & Aaron Show starts with Aaron Jacobson wondering if the Tampa Bay Rays fanbase is setting themselves up for disappointment, especially with the injuries of Tyler Glasnow & Wander Franco. The guys take callers from listeners Andy and Ben who are both very optimistic about this upcoming season! The second segment involves some funny audio from Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel, as he says he never got free coffee from the Washington Commanders. Then the guys debate if people use the word "high beams" or "brights." Then the hour ends with Situation Men.
The 8:00 AM hour is with Kasey Hudson as she is in for her weekly segment on The Pat & Aaron Show. The segment first begins by discussing some critiques Kasey Hudson's mom had from her segment last week, and Pat & Aaron joke around about it. Then the discussion transitions into the Tampa Bay Lightning, and Kasey Hudson says she is starting to get a little bit worried. She talks about how Brayden Point has been giving it his all recently, and Pat Maroon making it a one goal game against the Canadians. She explains that it is a mental thing for the team, and that they have been wound up lately. Then the hour ends with The Blender!
