• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Off the bench with Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Say Hester and Hester got it fart.
• 0:07
  Speaker 3: A pat from carrying each other to a natty to
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: carrying each other on the.
• 0:11
  Speaker 4: Air where there's brought control.
• 0:16
  Speaker 5: Live from the Raising Kine Studio.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: It's off the bench, so.
• 0:57
  Speaker 6: I can't say that.
• 1:01
  Speaker 7: All right, Welcome back in oh t b Our number
• 1:04
  Speaker 7: two live from the Raising Canes Studio. All right, let's
• 1:11
  Speaker 7: get into it a launde just about Sean.
• 1:17
  Speaker 6: I'll tell you why y'all are like really hyping me up.
• 1:22
  Speaker 7: I kind of want Unhingelandra, but I also wanted to
• 1:24
  Speaker 7: be careful because we really love having a lot there.
• 1:27
  Speaker 7: So okay, So you know, because we're the last show,
• 1:31
  Speaker 7: I think it. I think I think it brokerag right,
• 1:35
  Speaker 7: Ring Hunt show, if I'm not mistaken. So you know,
• 1:37
  Speaker 7: oftentimes happens to us where we're the last show that
• 1:40
  Speaker 7: gets to react to anything being in the morning show.
• 1:42
  Speaker 7: But three media outlets are now suing LSU Athletics in
• 1:45
  Speaker 7: a case centered around access to public records.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: UH.
• 1:49
  Speaker 7: The outlets, including local Louisiana media organizations, say LSU has
• 1:53
  Speaker 7: not fully complied with public records requests related to the
• 1:57
  Speaker 7: athletic Department. Under Louisiana's public records law, documents produced by
• 2:02
  Speaker 7: a public university are generally considered public unless they fall
• 2:06
  Speaker 7: under a specific exemption. So according to the lawsuit, the
• 2:10
  Speaker 7: media organizations argue LSU either failed to provide requested records
• 2:14
  Speaker 7: or took too long responding to requests tied to athletics
• 2:18
  Speaker 7: in their operations. They are asking the court to order
• 2:22
  Speaker 7: LSU to release their records and potentially cover legal costs.
• 2:27
  Speaker 7: So from Lshue side, universities often argue that certain documents
• 2:31
  Speaker 7: can be withheld if they involve things like personal matters,
• 2:34
  Speaker 7: private information, or.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Ongoing internal reviews.
• 2:38
  Speaker 7: Schools also sometimes claim certain communications fall under legal privilege.
• 2:44
  Speaker 7: This is something we've seen pop up around college athletics.
• 2:47
  Speaker 7: Nationaliants departments handle nil contracts and internal investigations. As more
• 2:52
  Speaker 7: money and attention flow through athletic departments, media outlets are
• 2:55
  Speaker 7: increasingly using public record laws to try to understand how
• 3:00
  Speaker 7: these programs operate. So the case will ultimately come down
• 3:03
  Speaker 7: to a judge deciding whether the requested documents fall under
• 3:07
  Speaker 7: Louisiana's public records requirements and whether LSU properly followed the
• 3:12
  Speaker 7: law when responding, all right, So Taylor Elandra, as soon
• 3:18
  Speaker 7: as we brought this up and we're going to talk
• 3:21
  Speaker 7: about it, I know both of y'all have an opinion
• 3:24
  Speaker 7: on it, and me and Matter are diving into it
• 3:27
  Speaker 7: as well with y'all, So kind of from y'all's perspective,
• 3:30
  Speaker 7: when y'all saw this come across the wire around noon,
• 3:33
  Speaker 7: maybe some initial thoughts.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: I think my initial thoughts were, what is like the
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: actual motive behind you doing this? Like I know that
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: you don't actually care if taxpayer like bottom line is,
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: if there are taxpayer dollars that are going to LSU Athletics,
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: it is very minimal. Like LSU we talked about this
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: during when Jeff Landry started being like, I'm worried about taxpayers.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to figure out make sure we're not paying
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: for buyouts like blah blah blah. Like we all know,
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: LSU is generally self funded through TV money, through donors,
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: through like everything. Right, So it's just very much feels
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: like she had like Piper, Chris Nakamoto, and Todd Horn
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: all have an agenda that they're trying to do. To me,
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: that's how it feels because their lawyers said it themselves,
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: like why are you going after LSU because they're the
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: biggest show in town. People in Louisiana love LSU. I
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: was talking to Matt this morning, like, Matt and I
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: wouldn't be here if it weren't for LSU. There's no
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: reason for me to move to bat Aruge Louisiana other
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: than Louisiana State University and the athletic program that they
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: have their football, baseball.
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: People care about that.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: So now you're over here suing LSU for public records
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: to try to find out if taxpayer money is paying
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: student athletes.
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: To be honest, I don't care.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: If my tax dollars are paying student athletes because it's
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: really not doing anything else for the state. Like my
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: tax dollars don't seem to be going anywhere else.
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: So if it's gonna go to the.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: Athletic department, sure, something that actually benefits Louisiana, I'm with it,
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: Like actually brings in money to the state.
• 5:14
  Speaker 7: Okay, sure, yeah, with the economic impact of.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: This town runs on.
• 5:21
  Speaker 8: L s U.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: A yes, So why are you trying to attack the
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: one thing that people love in this like not just
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: the city, but like the state of Louisiana l s
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: U is like the one there. It's the flagship university.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: So now you're gonna sue it because they're the biggest
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: show in town. And the name of like transparency is
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: what you're trying to say.
• 5:40
  Speaker 8: That tells me.
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: That you don't care that it's happening, just care that
• 5:44
  Speaker 7: l She's doing it. You don't care if Louisiana TACs
• 5:46
  Speaker 7: doing it anybody else.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: And she says that she hopes that this like if
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: that the lawsuit encourages all the other schools to do it.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: But like if you don't sue the other schools, I
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: doubt that any other school is gonna like just voluntarily
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: offer up how much they're paying student athletes, because why
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: would you Why would you tell other schools how much
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: your pain student athletes? Why would you tell other schools
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: how much money you're spending on recruitment? Right, Like it
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: just makes zero sense to me, And like if you
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: it just it doesn't make it. It makes it makes
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: me so mad, like when it's framed through a political lens,
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: like it's just so hard for me to take you seriously.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: And I highly doubt that any taxpayer money is actually
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: going toward pain student athletes and guess what, student athletes
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: are not employees of the school, so it doesn't matter
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: to us, Like, why do I care how much they're making?
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: And like somebody brought up a great point, what about TOPS,
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: Like TOPS is taxpayer funded and students get that money,
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: So let me find out how much regular students are
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: making off of my taxpayer money with TOPS.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it just makes no sense to me. You're gonna
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: dive in.
• 6:53
  Speaker 7: Why only keep it at athletic right, keep it into
• 6:55
  Speaker 7: every student.
• 6:56
  Speaker 9: Yes, anyone that went to journalist school knows that the
• 7:01
  Speaker 9: people that go to journalism school by and large have
• 7:04
  Speaker 9: this holier than thell mentality of I have to be
• 7:08
  Speaker 9: the one to inform the public wins, so self fund
• 7:11
  Speaker 9: most of the time, the public doesn't really care. Like
• 7:13
  Speaker 9: my question has always been like what are you actually asking?
• 7:17
  Speaker 9: Remember last year and look, I wanted to be fully fair.
• 7:21
  Speaker 9: I got this straight from Louisiana illuminator Piper Hutchinson wrote
• 7:24
  Speaker 9: this article and really kind of contradicted herself. Here the
• 7:28
  Speaker 9: landmark settlement memember last June where you were allowed to
• 7:31
  Speaker 9: pay athletes. We all know it's twenty and a half
• 7:34
  Speaker 9: million dollars. I could have the numbers wrong a little bit,
• 7:37
  Speaker 9: but I believe it's fifteen percent of that money to football.
• 7:39
  Speaker 7: You kind of decide what it is, right, Yeah, but it's.
• 7:43
  Speaker 9: Kind of like fifteen percent football, five percent men's basketball,
• 7:46
  Speaker 9: five percent women's whatever is left is distributed around the rest.
• 7:49
  Speaker 9: I's like we already know that. And in her article,
• 7:52
  Speaker 9: she says LSU system one point two billion dollar budget
• 7:57
  Speaker 9: for last fiscal year, more than eight hundred of it
• 8:00
  Speaker 9: comes from self generated revenue. Sure, there is a little
• 8:03
  Speaker 9: bit of outside funding, but like to a largest point,
• 8:06
  Speaker 9: like people aren't going to care where the tax dollars goes.
• 8:08
  Speaker 9: And like I asked him, Matt earlier before the show started,
• 8:11
  Speaker 9: like if Louisiana all of a sudden came out and said, hey,
• 8:15
  Speaker 9: we are tripling your tax dollars, You're going to have
• 8:18
  Speaker 9: to pay way more than.
• 8:19
  Speaker 10: Normal to pay this, maybe I would have an issue.
• 8:22
  Speaker 9: But as of right now, all I know is ipay
• 8:24
  Speaker 9: X amount of taxes, and I have no idea where
• 8:27
  Speaker 9: it goes. And honestly, whether it goes to LSU or elsewhere,
• 8:29
  Speaker 9: I don't really care where it goes. All I know
• 8:32
  Speaker 9: is that I have to pay this amount, and in
• 8:34
  Speaker 9: the article she said because LSU came out and said,
• 8:37
  Speaker 9: you know, it's a it's a competitive disadvantage if this
• 8:40
  Speaker 9: gets out and everything she writes in this article, you know,
• 8:44
  Speaker 9: in the past LSU has provided how much it pays
• 8:46
  Speaker 9: to its vendors and employees, including President Wade Rouse and
• 8:50
  Speaker 9: head football coach Lane Kiffin, without claiming it's a detrimental
• 8:53
  Speaker 9: to the university.
• 8:54
  Speaker 10: The argument we have had.
• 8:56
  Speaker 9: All year long off season, after all seasons and I
• 9:00
  Speaker 9: al started, which they're not going after an IL. It's
• 9:02
  Speaker 9: only the it's only the rest share in person il's
• 9:05
  Speaker 9: privately funded. Anyways, the argument we have had is you
• 9:09
  Speaker 9: cannot consider these athletes employees. So if they're not employees,
• 9:13
  Speaker 9: they're they're not releasing what they make like a Lane
• 9:15
  Speaker 9: Kiffin who's an employee, Like a Wade Rouse who's an
• 9:17
  Speaker 9: employee like that would be like, Hey, that student that
• 9:21
  Speaker 9: works part time at the Smoothie King or whatever it
• 9:24
  Speaker 9: is in the student union, I want to know how
• 9:26
  Speaker 9: much they make per hour. You're not privy to that information.
• 9:29
  Speaker 9: You have no right to that information. So I guess
• 9:33
  Speaker 9: my question would be, if we know how much money
• 9:36
  Speaker 9: is alligated to the athletes. We have no idea how
• 9:39
  Speaker 9: much goes to the students, and you don't really have
• 9:41
  Speaker 9: a right to know how much goes to the students.
• 9:44
  Speaker 8: Why do you care?
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Lily, if the point.
• 9:47
  Speaker 9: Of this is to ruffle feathers and gain exposure, well
• 9:51
  Speaker 9: then profit you've a.
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: Comg that's exactly what my biggest show in town.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: I hate to be by him. I hate to be
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: he told on himself.
• 10:02
  Speaker 10: I hate to be this guy.
• 10:04
  Speaker 9: But we have heard of Piper Hutchinson twice, once when
• 10:08
  Speaker 9: she came out and tried to attack LSU when they
• 10:10
  Speaker 9: were in the process of hiring Verds. Remember they brought
• 10:14
  Speaker 9: in Wade Ralphs. It was the whole Scott Woodward Ouster. Yeah,
• 10:17
  Speaker 9: you came after LSU for that. She's coming after LSU
• 10:19
  Speaker 9: for this after I promise the average person in the
• 10:24
  Speaker 9: state of Louisiana did not know who Piper Hutchinson is.
• 10:28
  Speaker 9: You're just using LSU for cloud at this point. It
• 10:30
  Speaker 9: just I think a lot of people just kind of
• 10:31
  Speaker 9: see through this.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: Transparency is fine, but not like the way that you're
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: going about this is like definitely shady. You definitely have
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: an agenda, You have a motive behind it.
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: You don't really care about the transparency or not.
• 10:45
  Speaker 7: I'm real honest. And Elanga and Taylor you both kind
• 10:48
  Speaker 7: of talked about it LSU Athletics and what it brings
• 10:52
  Speaker 7: to the area. And if if there is some tax dollars,
• 10:55
  Speaker 7: like because of how bad you've been in other things,
• 10:58
  Speaker 7: I wouldn't care because that brings good, That brings dollars,
• 11:03
  Speaker 7: that brings people staying here. We can go to health outcomes, right,
• 11:08
  Speaker 7: high rates of heart disease and high smoking rates in
• 11:11
  Speaker 7: Louisiana and no preventable care that they do to try
• 11:15
  Speaker 7: to fix those things. Education performance where Louisiana is at,
• 11:20
  Speaker 7: it's dead lasting almost everything. The poverty in our state,
• 11:23
  Speaker 7: the infrastructure maintenance in our state that is so piss poor,
• 11:27
  Speaker 7: it is so bad nothing ever gets fixed. If it
• 11:30
  Speaker 7: does get fixed, it takes seven times to do it,
• 11:32
  Speaker 7: and it takes seven years to get it done right.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: I mean like on one ninety my entire college career,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: there was construction on it. It ain't that long of
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: a road.
• 11:41
  Speaker 8: Like.
• 11:41
  Speaker 7: Things like that continue to happen, and I'm like, okay, well,
• 11:44
  Speaker 7: if you're going to attack that, we don't use our
• 11:46
  Speaker 7: tax dollars for anything that's good.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: To Taylor's point, we don't know where the hell it goes.
• 11:50
  Speaker 10: You don't know where any of your taxes.
• 11:52
  Speaker 9: And somebody in the chats like Taylor, you should care
• 11:54
  Speaker 9: where your tax dollars go.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: It ain't to fix something, it ain't to make anything
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: better here.
• 12:00
  Speaker 8: To pay this money.
• 12:01
  Speaker 9: Very If my money goes up and less comes into
• 12:05
  Speaker 9: my pocket, then I care. But as long as everything
• 12:08
  Speaker 9: stays the same across the board, I don't want to
• 12:11
  Speaker 9: say I don't care, but I don't really have any
• 12:13
  Speaker 9: control over it.
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: Yeah, like, what are we supposed to do?
• 12:16
  Speaker 8: Yeah?
• 12:17
  Speaker 11: Oh, so we we all live in Louisiana and love
• 12:20
  Speaker 11: Louisiana because of what the people, the culture. It's not
• 12:24
  Speaker 11: necessarily because we have the greatest roads or the buildings
• 12:27
  Speaker 11: and the state budget is perfectly perfect. No, it's because
• 12:32
  Speaker 11: of the culture and what Louisiana means to everybody. It
• 12:35
  Speaker 11: means something inside of you, and part of that for
• 12:38
  Speaker 11: most people, at least not all people, is has to
• 12:42
  Speaker 11: do with some sort of athletics. Like yeah, it's the
• 12:45
  Speaker 11: ultimate glue. It brings people together always, so like I
• 12:49
  Speaker 11: even hate talking about this to give these people the
• 12:51
  Speaker 11: time of day.
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: Yeah, right, because I'm with you on that.
• 12:53
  Speaker 11: We all know like the type of person or persons
• 12:56
  Speaker 11: that would do something like this and what the motive
• 12:59
  Speaker 11: is it. Like, we all want transparency and everything. We
• 13:02
  Speaker 11: would love to know where our tax dollars go. But like,
• 13:06
  Speaker 11: if you're attacking something for a very one sided political reason,
• 13:11
  Speaker 11: whether it's the gang clout, whatever it is, all the
• 13:14
  Speaker 11: people doing it stand to gain something by getting their
• 13:17
  Speaker 11: name out there, whether it's good or bad. Right, Yes,
• 13:20
  Speaker 11: we could all stand up for the transparency blah blah blah.
• 13:23
  Speaker 11: But if for whatever reason you want to do some
• 13:25
  Speaker 11: smoking try to find some smoking gun. Gotcha, journalism, gotcha, legislation,
• 13:30
  Speaker 11: whatever it is, And that's what it is. To maybe
• 13:33
  Speaker 11: find something. Because we know that LICA Athletic is mostly
• 13:35
  Speaker 11: just self funded. If there is some sort of accounting,
• 13:38
  Speaker 11: whatever it is, the economical benefit of LSU, we should
• 13:42
  Speaker 11: spend more tax dollars on it, right, the economical benefits. Yeah,
• 13:46
  Speaker 11: the economic benefit that it brings to your attention.
• 13:49
  Speaker 7: In our state is worse than any state in the
• 13:52
  Speaker 7: country right now, dead last people are.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Leaving, and they're leaving quickly.
• 13:56
  Speaker 7: They can get higher salarisults where there's a more diverse
• 14:00
  Speaker 7: job market in other places, you had a better chance
• 14:02
  Speaker 7: to get uh, you know, different jobs that a lot
• 14:05
  Speaker 7: of different people can do, not just one or two industries. Okay, Uh,
• 14:09
  Speaker 7: there's better quality of life in other states. We are
• 14:12
  Speaker 7: dead ass last and keeping people in our state. So
• 14:17
  Speaker 7: one of the things that actually keeps people here is
• 14:20
  Speaker 7: that Hel's you athletics, right, and so to continue to
• 14:25
  Speaker 7: try to attack that, to make the name for yourself,
• 14:28
  Speaker 7: like go fly kight.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: With it, because we're not here for it.
• 14:31
  Speaker 7: Beat it, nerds, and that's all you're probably gonna get here, Okay,
• 14:37
  Speaker 7: mm hmm, because that's what you want. That's what you
• 14:41
  Speaker 7: on all these shows, what you've done.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, bringing your name up.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: No, Like I definitely, like I write like, it's not
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: like I want to give her attention, but it's like
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: you have to talk about it, and also like, yeah,
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: you have to bring it up.
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: And also like I the the the thing is so stupid.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: That like people have to know that not everybody thinks
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: that this is a good idea and not like I
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: think both opinions need to be talked about, you know,
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: like we think it's dumb, period, and it's very much
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: a page out of Bob Man's book, where anytime people
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: get something good in athletics, like money gets raised in athletics,
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: or they get a new locker room or whatever.
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: He's like, but what about the library.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: Why don't you ask like actually the like actual government
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: to help with the library. Why would LSU athletics, LSU
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: football makes all this money off of TV like donors,
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: private donors, whatever to be able to have that in
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: their facilities. Why would they take their money and give
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: it to the library. Like she's just taking a page
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: out of his book.
• 15:45
  Speaker 9: Yeah, And like again I just I kind of feel
• 15:47
  Speaker 9: like this is all simple to figure out. I'm still
• 15:50
  Speaker 9: trying to figure out like what they're trying to pull
• 15:52
  Speaker 9: back the curtain on because again, we know it's twenty
• 15:55
  Speaker 9: and a half a million dollars And you could say, yeah,
• 15:57
  Speaker 9: but that's LSU. How much of the tax money's going there?
• 16:00
  Speaker 9: See how much tax money was sent to Louisiana State University,
• 16:04
  Speaker 9: And you have a you have a general idea. Again,
• 16:07
  Speaker 9: you're not gonna find out what each individual player makes.
• 16:09
  Speaker 9: But I don't really see how this is an issue
• 16:11
  Speaker 9: that they're trying to figure out.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: It's a again, it's a got she's looking for they
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: I keep saying, singing her out. It's three of them,
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: like they keep looking for a gotcha moment that they're
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: probably not gonna get.
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: I can't.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: Like, I just don't really feel like a lot of
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: tax dollars are going to pay student athletes, Like I
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: just don't think that that's the thing.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Last thing? Are other states? Have other states done this?
• 16:36
  Speaker 7: I guess look at us, they're they're out here trying
• 16:43
  Speaker 7: to talk to talk to their manager.
• 16:45
  Speaker 11: A bunch of Karen's out here, Can I can? I
• 16:50
  Speaker 11: h I don't want to talk about her in that
• 16:52
  Speaker 11: group anymore. Just shine a light, I bet, I just
• 16:55
  Speaker 11: want to. Can I end this segment on just a
• 16:56
  Speaker 11: little bit more lighthearted? Government taught?
• 16:59
  Speaker 7: Sure?
• 16:59
  Speaker 11: Okay, there was a report, So if you we're done
• 17:02
  Speaker 11: with the LSU thing, we're done talk about this, Okay.
• 17:05
  Speaker 11: This is a good transition to something I've read yesterday.
• 17:08
  Speaker 11: I've never left Huh. I just want to make sure
• 17:11
  Speaker 11: we're done with that, okay.
• 17:13
  Speaker 8: Uh.
• 17:15
  Speaker 11: Government spending a little bit of government waste. There's always
• 17:17
  Speaker 11: government waste, right The Pentagon reportedly and this past September
• 17:21
  Speaker 11: spent twenty two million dollars on steak and lobster at
• 17:25
  Speaker 11: the Pentagon itself. So the September for most of the
• 17:28
  Speaker 11: government in the military is like the end of their
• 17:30
  Speaker 11: fiscal years, so they have to have the end of
• 17:32
  Speaker 11: year funds like a use it or lose it type situation,
• 17:35
  Speaker 11: which most state funds do. All different colors of money,
• 17:39
  Speaker 11: like you got to spend it or you don't get
• 17:40
  Speaker 11: that same so like you find ways to spend it.
• 17:43
  Speaker 11: You want to talk about some government waste here, they
• 17:45
  Speaker 11: spent fifteen point one million.
• 17:47
  Speaker 8: Dollars in Ribbi steaks.
• 17:48
  Speaker 11: Hell yeah, six point nine million dollars in lobster tails,
• 17:52
  Speaker 11: two million dollars in Alaskan King crabs, one million in salmon,
• 17:56
  Speaker 11: one hundred and thirty nine thousand dollars on donuts a
• 17:59
  Speaker 11: lot of donuts.
• 18:00
  Speaker 9: One million in salmon. Salmon ain't that expensive? One million
• 18:03
  Speaker 9: in salmon is insane, I mean. And one hundred and
• 18:06
  Speaker 9: twenty four thousand dollars in just ice cream machines. That's
• 18:10
  Speaker 9: in the one month of September because they needed to
• 18:12
  Speaker 9: use it or were they to use it.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: But let's find out if they're paying student athletes, this
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: cannot happen.
• 18:19
  Speaker 11: But Louisiana's annules state budget of almost fifty four billion
• 18:23
  Speaker 11: to see if they do someone at twenty.
• 18:26
  Speaker 9: I got to tell you that movie on the donuts
• 18:28
  Speaker 9: as well. Spent donuts are great.
• 18:30
  Speaker 7: I'm a ice cream machine, and actually I like, do
• 18:33
  Speaker 7: you spell donuts?

  Speaker 8: They probably do.

  Speaker 10: No, we can't afford vending machines. We're talking about my gosh.
• 22:01
  Speaker 7: Anyways, before we get to little LSU baseball taking on Vendorbilt.
• 22:06
  Speaker 7: It it reminds you Pelican Roofing does a lot more
• 22:09
  Speaker 7: than just take care of roofs here in Louisiana. They
• 22:11
  Speaker 7: take care of the community too. So right now they've
• 22:13
  Speaker 7: got something really cool going on, and it's called Run
• 22:16
  Speaker 7: for Rufous. It's a fundraiser where their mascot Rufus is
• 22:20
  Speaker 7: running a five k every day for thirty days to
• 22:22
  Speaker 7: help raise money for someone in our community going through
• 22:25
  Speaker 7: a really tough time. So all the donations go directly
• 22:29
  Speaker 7: to help that family with medical bills and recovery costs
• 22:32
  Speaker 7: so they can focus on getting better and not have
• 22:35
  Speaker 7: the stress of how they're going to pay for it.
• 22:37
  Speaker 7: If you want to help out or you want to
• 22:39
  Speaker 7: learn more information the story behind it and who that
• 22:42

• 22:45
  Speaker 7: Are you in f O R r O O f
• 22:48
  Speaker 7: us dot com? Run for rufous dot com Pelican roofing
• 22:51
  Speaker 7: Quality through the Roof. All Right, LSU Baseball head to Nashville.
• 22:58
  Speaker 7: Already in field. We caught up with Jay Johnson yesterday
• 23:03
  Speaker 7: and always enjoy our conversations with Jay, but certainly enjoyed
• 23:08
  Speaker 7: it yesterday because he's very transparent. He doesn't try to
• 23:10
  Speaker 7: hide from anything. Like he talked about some of the
• 23:13
  Speaker 7: challenges that they've already faced this year. But as we
• 23:16
  Speaker 7: all know, we've been LSU baseball fans and covered them
• 23:20
  Speaker 7: long enough to know that now is when it matters
• 23:23
  Speaker 7: the most, this ten week grind of going through SEC.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Play, and you do have a pretty good opportunity.
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 23:30
  Speaker 7: I would not have said that before the year because
• 23:32
  Speaker 7: it was Vanderbilt vandabout's eleven and seven right now.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Vanderbilt is struggling. They've had multiple losing streaks in this season.
• 23:41
  Speaker 7: If you can go on the road and you can
• 23:44
  Speaker 7: win the series and I don't care what it looks like,
• 23:47
  Speaker 7: just win the series. We are talking about a different
• 23:50
  Speaker 7: feeling when you get back to Baton Rouge than what
• 23:52
  Speaker 7: we currently feel right now. You dropped a series to
• 23:55
  Speaker 7: Sacramento State, you lost to me Nie, you lost to Ull,
• 23:59
  Speaker 7: you lost to nor Eastern. We know all of that
• 24:01
  Speaker 7: all right now. You look like you were about to
• 24:04
  Speaker 7: lose to Creighton as well, but we saw something different.
• 24:06
  Speaker 7: We saw a young player get up to the plate
• 24:08
  Speaker 7: and hit a grand Slam, and we saw some juices
• 24:11
  Speaker 7: and we saw Jake Brown get up and he hit
• 24:12
  Speaker 7: another home run. Okay, so that's part of it. You like,
• 24:17
  Speaker 7: as you had to Nashville to take on Vanderbilt. But
• 24:20
  Speaker 7: if you come back home and you win two of
• 24:22
  Speaker 7: three games and then look, Oklahoma's record right now is good,
• 24:26
  Speaker 7: but you'll be back in the box with some momentum
• 24:29
  Speaker 7: against Oklahoma, a winnable series, and the math kind of changes.
• 24:34
  Speaker 7: For what we're talking about here, That feeling that we
• 24:36
  Speaker 7: had on Monday night. Before you get a Tuesday win,
• 24:40
  Speaker 7: all right, some of that starts to go away a
• 24:42
  Speaker 7: little bit. It's gonna take guys stepping up and young
• 24:45
  Speaker 7: guys on this team have stepped up, be it on
• 24:48
  Speaker 7: the field or off the field, like we talked about
• 24:50
  Speaker 7: with Jay Johnson yesterday. So I'm excited for it. I
• 24:53
  Speaker 7: want to see the Tigers go out there and compete.
• 24:57
  Speaker 7: If it's not going to be the guys that we
• 24:58
  Speaker 7: you know, count it on. He's the air quotes there,
• 25:01
  Speaker 7: because look, plans change in baseball.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: It's a sport of failure.
• 25:06
  Speaker 7: You've got to deal with it and then you got
• 25:08
  Speaker 7: to come back and you got to go through adversity
• 25:10
  Speaker 7: and you have to thrive on the other side. So
• 25:12
  Speaker 7: Santiago Garcia, we didn't have him on the Bengo car
• 25:15
  Speaker 7: the other night. He came in and he dealed all right,
• 25:18
  Speaker 7: he's ready to step up. Who else is ready to follow?
• 25:21
  Speaker 7: That's gonna be what I'm watching this weekend. Who's ready
• 25:25
  Speaker 7: to step up and say no more of that because
• 25:28
  Speaker 7: it can't just be Jake Brown all year long.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: He's gonna need some help.
• 25:32
  Speaker 7: He's playing is you know what off right now, but
• 25:35
  Speaker 7: he's gonna need some other guys to step up around him.
• 25:38
  Speaker 7: Right What where Garcia was able to do to come
• 25:40
  Speaker 7: in the other night and Cheron actually had pretty good
• 25:43
  Speaker 7: outing as well.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: No, but like I feel like I expect that from
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: Cheran though, like I expect Shearon to go out there
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: and have a good outing. Santiago Garcia was impressive because
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: we hadn't really seen that from him before, so I
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: was very like he was the one thing that stood
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: out to me whenever we won against Creighton the other night,
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: he came in and shut it down.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: And they now he's done that. Yeah, who's some other
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: guys that can do that?
• 26:10
  Speaker 7: To your point about you can't just be on the
• 26:12
  Speaker 7: LSU baseball roster and spectation, right, that can't.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: We used to talk about that in football all the time.
• 26:18
  Speaker 7: Hey, but if you're on scholarship here like and you're
• 26:20
  Speaker 7: not playing, like, find a way to play, Yeah, find
• 26:23
  Speaker 7: a way to get on the field. Is it a
• 26:24
  Speaker 7: core four special teams war daddy, whatever it is, buddy.
• 26:27
  Speaker 7: We need everybody here. Yeah, and we used to call
• 26:30
  Speaker 7: guys out. We need you to do more. It's okay
• 26:33
  Speaker 7: sometimes if you do it in the right way. Yeah,
• 26:35
  Speaker 7: that's what LSU baseball. They need some guys that weren't
• 26:38
  Speaker 7: expected to be the guys to give you something.
• 26:41
  Speaker 9: To your point about sharing opponents are hitting seventy one
• 26:45
  Speaker 9: against him as in point zero seven to one.
• 26:49
  Speaker 10: That's incredible.
• 26:50
  Speaker 9: Now it's seven appearances, just nine innings, but seventeen strikeouts
• 26:55
  Speaker 9: and those nine innings giving up virtually nothing.
• 26:58
  Speaker 10: That's another guy out of the pen. And Jay, you
• 27:00
  Speaker 10: were just talking about Jake Brown.
• 27:02
  Speaker 9: Look, I know Vandy's eleven and seven, but you were
• 27:04
  Speaker 9: talking about how somebody outside of Jake Brown needs to
• 27:06
  Speaker 9: step up.
• 27:07
  Speaker 10: And he's been pretty good at it.
• 27:08
  Speaker 9: I mean, they had eight guys in their lineup atting
• 27:10
  Speaker 9: three hundred are better on the year, Like it's amazing
• 27:13
  Speaker 9: that they're eleven and seven like they are because their
• 27:15
  Speaker 9: bat lineup's been really good. I mean forty four home runs,
• 27:18
  Speaker 9: thirty six doubles, three eighteen as a team, they've been
• 27:21
  Speaker 9: really good. And then look when you look at the
• 27:24
  Speaker 9: matchup on the mound, I think he got a big
• 27:26
  Speaker 9: advantage on Saturday and Sunday. And I think that's what
• 27:30
  Speaker 9: does it for you, and that's why you've liked the
• 27:31
  Speaker 9: pitching rotation. Like tonight you're gonna see Connor Fintle for Vanderbilt.
• 27:35
  Speaker 9: He's really good. I mean three eighty era, thirty strikeouts,
• 27:39
  Speaker 9: three balls too, and oh record, he's good, but the
• 27:42
  Speaker 9: guy you're going against Saturday is going to be Wyatt
• 27:44
  Speaker 9: and na do I mean he has a zero ERA,
• 27:46
  Speaker 9: but he's only thrown an eleven innings fifteen strikeout, six balls,
• 27:49
  Speaker 9: so he had had a ton of extended outings. And
• 27:52
  Speaker 9: then William Schmid is your Sunday guy. You have an
• 27:54
  Speaker 9: advantage almost every single Sunday like to forty five ERA.
• 27:58
  Speaker 9: You're going to get to Nate Taylor four nine one
• 27:59
  Speaker 9: on Eer Schmidt thirty three strikeouts, four balls, Nate Taylor
• 28:04
  Speaker 9: twenty four strikeouts, twelve balls. So like you, Friday is
• 28:08
  Speaker 9: going to be a battle because Connor Findl's great, but
• 28:11
  Speaker 9: Cooper Moore and William Schmidd probably have the advantage on
• 28:13
  Speaker 9: the mound in this matchup.
• 28:15
  Speaker 11: I agree with kind of what you're saying, Jake about
• 28:19
  Speaker 11: somebody needs to step up that we didn't think is
• 28:22
  Speaker 11: going to but also think somebody needs to step up
• 28:24
  Speaker 11: that we think would. I think that you got guys
• 28:27
  Speaker 11: in the lineup that were integral and win in a
• 28:29
  Speaker 11: national championship last year that have not played like that.
• 28:32
  Speaker 11: You guys that you brought in to be an immediate
• 28:34
  Speaker 11: impact that have not played like that we need the
• 28:38
  Speaker 11: people that we thought would be there and make an
• 28:40
  Speaker 11: impact to start making an impact. Steven Milam has been
• 28:44
  Speaker 11: hitting the ball hard, making contact. It just has not fallen.
• 28:48
  Speaker 11: Like at some point it's going to fall. We need
• 28:50
  Speaker 11: Steven Myland to become Monster Milam again, right right, Yeah,
• 28:53
  Speaker 11: he has played well in fifty right now. He has
• 28:56
  Speaker 11: played really well in the field, played defensive. We have
• 28:58
  Speaker 11: not played great on defense, Ja John, And I know
• 29:00
  Speaker 11: sometimes he puts a better bat in there instead of
• 29:03
  Speaker 11: and maybe kind of loses the glove a little bit. Well,
• 29:07
  Speaker 11: the better bats aren't being better bats to put the
• 29:09
  Speaker 11: better glove out there. Yeah, uh, we just kind of need.
• 29:12
  Speaker 11: Like baseball is such a mental, mental sport, like Jay
• 29:15
  Speaker 11: talks about that on this show. A lot of like
• 29:17
  Speaker 11: these part time coach, part time psychologists, like you have
• 29:20
  Speaker 11: to figure out like these these are these are young
• 29:23
  Speaker 11: men that are trying to figure out how to you know,
• 29:26
  Speaker 11: play on a new team. Every team, every single year
• 29:29
  Speaker 11: is a different team. Of course people graduating, but people
• 29:32
  Speaker 11: coming in and transferring in. Like it just the college baseball,
• 29:35
  Speaker 11: college athletics is so much different year to year. They
• 29:39
  Speaker 11: have to figure out how to get the diversity. They
• 29:41
  Speaker 11: have to mentally get past a point because it's not
• 29:43
  Speaker 11: a talent issue baseball.
• 29:45
  Speaker 8: It's always a mental issue, right.
• 29:47
  Speaker 11: You get cold momentum, there's momentum swings and sometimes they
• 29:50
  Speaker 11: can last for days. Games, they could last for weeks.
• 29:54
  Speaker 11: It will lsu. Baseball will figure it out. Now will
• 29:58
  Speaker 11: they figure it out before they put them elves too
• 30:01
  Speaker 11: far back? Like it's just kind of when they figured
• 30:03
  Speaker 11: out multiple people figured it out at the same time.
• 30:05
  Speaker 11: It can't just be like you said, Jake Brown, awesome,
• 30:08
  Speaker 11: Ben what four fifteen throughout the season.
• 30:11
  Speaker 8: So we just need the guys that we thought, well.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: He's hitting four thirteen.
• 30:14
  Speaker 7: The next closest is Derek Curry out three nine, right,
• 30:19
  Speaker 7: and then you go from three twenty nine to eighty
• 30:22
  Speaker 7: with York, So you know who I want to see
• 30:26
  Speaker 7: like a little bit more.
• 30:27
  Speaker 6: Of is Yeaman and maybe in like a dhroll.
• 30:30
  Speaker 7: Well, I know there hasn't been like a lot and
• 30:32
  Speaker 7: I know there's only a couple of bats, but I'm like,
• 30:34
  Speaker 7: got on base twice. They're comfortable in the box because
• 30:38
  Speaker 7: and I say that more of in what I'm talking
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: about of something, if you're not gonna do it, we
• 30:43
  Speaker 7: got to tell somebody else. And he's been there for
• 30:45
  Speaker 7: a couple of years, hasn't gotten a lot of runs
• 30:47
  Speaker 7: since he transferred from Dayton, but he got on base twice.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: Quality of bats. All right, let's see what you got.
• 30:52
  Speaker 7: And I'm not saying that you roll them out there
• 30:54
  Speaker 7: all weekend, but guys like that, and that's why you
• 30:57
  Speaker 7: got it the.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Other night, getting opportunity.
• 31:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you can try it out. You can d H
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: him and see what happens.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: Because you kind of don't really even have last game out.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because you really don't even have somebody that I
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: feel like has solidified themselves to be the DH.
• 31:12
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 31:15
  Speaker 6: Now LSU might have the right now.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: Their pitching stats look a little better than LSU's do Vandy's,
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: But I think that LSU has the pitching advantage over Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt,
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: like Taylor said, they are very hitting, very well right now.
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: Brandon Holcombe has ten home runs on the season, thirty
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: one RBI already. Right under him, Brody Johnston has seven
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: home runs already. The only person that's like putting those
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: numbers up is Jake Brown with nine.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so Jay said they moved their fences into yeah,
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: a little bit oh yeah.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, So I think that LSU
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: like you have every opportunity to go to Nashville and
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: when it's gonna be tough, but you have every opportunity
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: to go into Nashville and win this series.
• 31:58
  Speaker 7: You know who I want to see go out there
• 31:59
  Speaker 7: and be a bulldog its Case and Evans as well. Yeah,
• 32:02
  Speaker 7: I know the era four sixty six not maybe what
• 32:05
  Speaker 7: we expected, but still like early any yeah, when you
• 32:07
  Speaker 7: when you when you dive into it. I mean he's
• 32:09
  Speaker 7: what nineteen to the third still struck out thirty gapes, right,
• 32:12
  Speaker 7: I mean those numbers obviously are really good. Now seven
• 32:15
  Speaker 7: walks you got to cut that down, but you're starting
• 32:19
  Speaker 7: to kind of see it. I mean, batting average against
• 32:21
  Speaker 7: is still one to eighty nine. Like you said, he
• 32:23
  Speaker 7: gets in trouble kind of early, and he settles in
• 32:26
  Speaker 7: and this is we have to remember, this is like
• 32:27
  Speaker 7: a new role for him as well, Like he goes
• 32:29
  Speaker 7: from being the stopper yeah, to being the Friday night
• 32:32
  Speaker 7: guy and that you know doesn't happen.
• 32:35
  Speaker 8: Yeah, and he's got.
• 32:36
  Speaker 6: Better, Yeah, he has definitely.
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: And I like what Jay said, I don't remember if
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: it was about Case and or Cowen, but he said
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: something like because they're both generally like end.
• 32:47
  Speaker 6: Of the like middle relief or both, or closers or whatever.
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: He's like, go out there and close this inning, Like
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: just close this inning, right, So if you're gonna go
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: out there in the first inning, close the first inning,
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: close the second, close the third. Like, I know it's
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: different coming out the pin versus starting, but I think
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: he's starting to finally get a speed under him and
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: we'll probably see a better outing from case And than
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: we have recently.
• 33:09
  Speaker 6: And I do think it takes him a couple of
• 33:11
  Speaker 6: innings to just kind of get in his room.
• 33:12
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 33:13
  Speaker 11: Closers are adrenaline junkies. Yeah right, They thrive and they
• 33:17
  Speaker 11: want that. So you gotta kind of calm the nerves
• 33:20
  Speaker 11: a little bit. You can't have that adrenaline pumping in
• 33:22
  Speaker 11: that first sentence.
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: We this.
• 33:24
  Speaker 9: We tried this with Zach hass a few years back
• 33:26
  Speaker 9: when Manary was here, Like he was a freshman closer.
• 33:29
  Speaker 9: He was electric out of the bullpen. He made the
• 33:32
  Speaker 9: national championship. Now you lost Florida, but you made it
• 33:34
  Speaker 9: all the way there. The next year, you tried Hassars,
• 33:36
  Speaker 9: your Friday night guy and it didn't work. You wound
• 33:38
  Speaker 9: up having to put him back in the bullpen. But
• 33:40
  Speaker 9: it feels different with Evans. Evans is getting the hang
• 33:42
  Speaker 9: of it. Is his outings have extended a little bit.
• 33:45
  Speaker 11: Yeah, closers to me, like for like a football analogy
• 33:48
  Speaker 11: or like camp' scataboo a little bit.
• 33:51
  Speaker 8: Yeah, ast the windows all this.
• 33:56
  Speaker 9: Stuff, and it's like, you don't you don't want the
• 33:59
  Speaker 9: personality of camp Gott to be playing quarterback for you.
• 34:02
  Speaker 10: There's roles for everybody, I mean, Jackson Dart Yeah, yeah, level.
• 34:10
  Speaker 8: This window tastes like red.
• 34:12
  Speaker 6: Did you say a red crayon?
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 34:15
  Speaker 7: I got me down a rabbit hole of looking at
• 34:18
  Speaker 7: Zach cass in his minor league career. He only made
• 34:21
  Speaker 7: a double A, never triple A. It was fun though
• 34:27
  Speaker 7: he's a great tiger. Though he's a great tiger. Yeah
• 34:31
  Speaker 7: he was will always be a great tiger.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: You said it, man, not was you said it?
• 34:36
  Speaker 8: Man said?
• 34:38
  Speaker 7: All right, we'll continue talking to that little L s
• 34:40
  Speaker 7: U SEC baseball. Can I give you an idea of
• 34:42
  Speaker 7: what's going on around the league as well. But a
• 34:44
  Speaker 7: great opportunity for L.
• 34:46
  Speaker 8: S U.
• 34:46
  Speaker 7: A Vanderbilt team right now that is still trying to
• 34:48
  Speaker 7: figure out themselves again eleven and seven all in the season.
• 34:51
  Speaker 7: If LSU can go win a series on the road
• 34:53

  Speaker 9: I don't think it was in Madagascar. But when King
• 36:14
  Speaker 9: Julian sings, he sounds like Sean.
• 36:17
  Speaker 8: Paul always thought that, why are you watching Madagascar?
• 36:25

• 36:35
  Speaker 8: have kids. You don't have children, and.
• 36:36
  Speaker 10: King Julian is the lemur. When he sings, he sounds
• 36:40
  Speaker 10: like I think he sounds like Show and Paul.
• 36:41
  Speaker 7: Okay, all right, Well, just know you're gonna have to
• 36:46
  Speaker 7: rewatch everything that you're watching right now, and more than once, yeah,
• 36:50
  Speaker 7: multiple times. Yeah, there's gonna be a movie that you
• 36:52
  Speaker 7: get for a month and it's gonna be the month movie.
• 36:55
  Speaker 8: It's cool. You know. Then you won't go back to
• 36:58
  Speaker 8: it for a couple of years, but you'll find your
• 37:00
  Speaker 8: way back eventually.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: It's gonna happen.
• 37:05
  Speaker 7: I want to remind you that March is Colon Cancer
• 37:07
  Speaker 7: Awareness Month, and it's a good reminder that colon cancer
• 37:11
  Speaker 7: is one of the most common cancers. But It's also
• 37:13
  Speaker 7: one of the most preventable win called early, so screening
• 37:16
  Speaker 7: can actually find small gross before they ever turn into cancer,
• 37:20
  Speaker 7: which is why doctors recommend adults getting screened at forty
• 37:25
  Speaker 7: five years old. And if you have a family history
• 37:28
  Speaker 7: or you're going through some symptoms, you need to get
• 37:31
  Speaker 7: checked right now, So don't wait.
• 37:33
  Speaker 8: Get checked.
• 37:33
  Speaker 7: A kolonoskby is still the best screening tool, but for
• 37:36
  Speaker 7: some people that are simple at home tests that may
• 37:38
  Speaker 7: be an option.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: The key is talking with your doctor.
• 37:42
  Speaker 7: Having a relationship with a primary care provider helps make
• 37:45
  Speaker 7: sure you're getting the right screenings at the right time.
• 37:49
  Speaker 7: So schedule your appointment today with Oshner at Oschner dot
• 37:53

• 38:10
  Speaker 8: Alright, go ahead, go ahead.
• 38:12
  Speaker 6: I'm scared.
• 38:12
  Speaker 11: I got now you know you should be scared. I
• 38:14
  Speaker 11: had a little feedback in the the chat a couple
• 38:17
  Speaker 11: of sevements ago, and I was talking about the Pentagon
• 38:19
  Speaker 11: spending money. Yes, I didn't wanted to clarify something Okay,
• 38:25
  Speaker 11: I wasn't saying that was a bad thing. No, I
• 38:27
  Speaker 11: wanted to buy more steaks and more lobsters because I
• 38:30
  Speaker 11: do know that they do give troops that are getting
• 38:33
  Speaker 11: deployed a nice meal before so and I think they
• 38:35
  Speaker 11: should do more of it.
• 38:36
  Speaker 10: For sure.
• 38:37
  Speaker 8: Absolutely, you're good. I want to wanted to make sure
• 38:40
  Speaker 8: that was out there.
• 38:41
  Speaker 6: You're trying out how hypocritical people are.
• 38:44
  Speaker 9: Dude, we said we like donuts. Jake even asked us
• 38:47
  Speaker 9: how we spell it. Absolutely criticization about more. I think
• 38:49
  Speaker 9: they should have more ice cream machines.
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: The point was that they're probably bigger fish to fry
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: than LSU athletics. Like there's so much corruption in this state.
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: I'm not really worried about if my tax dollars.
• 39:00
  Speaker 6: Are pain student and.
• 39:03
  Speaker 11: The government's spend, they use it or lose it. Yeah, funds,
• 39:06
  Speaker 11: it's kind of dumb, Like just give them a budget.
• 39:07
  Speaker 11: Like if they save money, the great.
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: Roll over, roll it over, Like, come on, we don't
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: like Louisian's a rainy day fund.
• 39:16
  Speaker 6: They don't have that nationally.
• 39:17
  Speaker 8: Yeah, anyway, all the steaks, let's go get them all
• 39:21
  Speaker 8: the steaks.
• 39:22
  Speaker 6: I agree, you're gonna go ship them off to the
• 39:25
  Speaker 6: side of the world to go.
• 39:27
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, we like to track the pizza sales.
• 39:30
  Speaker 11: I don't know what the pizza so they like last week,
• 39:34
  Speaker 11: oh yeah, last week.
• 39:36
  Speaker 8: Yeah, the Pentagon pizza track or popping off last week.
• 39:40
  Speaker 10: You know, the pizza places around there.
• 39:42
  Speaker 9: They don't want anything major to happen, but also they're like, man,
• 39:45
  Speaker 9: we gotta need something to happen here.
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: Actually, if like the majority of my tax dollars went
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: to supporting the troops and veterans that come home, I
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: would be completely okay with that.
• 39:54
  Speaker 8: Daniel Ashner are asolutely right. More can be done to
• 39:56
  Speaker 8: support the troops during post service too, Absolutely no, it's.
• 40:00
  Speaker 6: Like the most important part of it is post I.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: Think I'm with you fully get behind that one hundred percent.
• 40:10
  Speaker 6: Thank you for your service, for everybody you served. We
• 40:15
  Speaker 6: love you, we appreciate you.
• 40:19
  Speaker 7: I did mention that we'd give all the LSU or
• 40:21
  Speaker 7: sorry SEC baseball series this weekend, So just a quick
• 40:26
  Speaker 7: overpass here. Tennessee at Georgia, Alabama at Kentucky, South Carolina
• 40:29
  Speaker 7: at Florida, LSU at Vanderbilt, Mississippi State at Arkansas, Auburn
• 40:33
  Speaker 7: at Missouri, Texas A and M at Oklahoma, Old Miss
• 40:37
  Speaker 7: at Texas, and then.
• 40:41
  Speaker 6: Let's see alab that's gonna be a good matchup.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, album is I can take? You want to make
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: sure I had that right?
• 40:46
  Speaker 6: Uh?
• 40:46
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I know you're looking forward to Old Miss Texas.
• 40:48
  Speaker 7: How about though, Missisippi State of Arkansas number three verus U.
• 40:53
  Speaker 9: I was talking about it a little bit yesterday, like
• 40:55
  Speaker 9: we didn't expect Arkansas the slow start that they got
• 40:58
  Speaker 9: off to either, but it's still a talent team.
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Mississippi State is looking really good early in the season.
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: They got a Sreez who's just lighting the ball up.
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: So I think Mississippi State is set to make a
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: bit of a run. We'll see how far it goes.
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: But they're hitting really well.
• 41:17
  Speaker 7: That'd be a good series, and the Oklahoma is gonna
• 41:19
  Speaker 7: be a good series too. We're going to give I
• 41:21
  Speaker 7: think LSU fans a pretty good idea of where Oklahoma
• 41:24
  Speaker 7: is before they come.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: To the box.
• 41:26
  Speaker 11: How About from the record standpoint of LSU, Vanderbilt's like
• 41:28
  Speaker 11: the worst matchup in the SEC.
• 41:32
  Speaker 7: I mean South Carolina Florida maybe, yeah, right there with it,
• 41:39
  Speaker 7: but Vandy does like very bottom, very bottom of the League,
• 41:42
  Speaker 7: so big weekend it always does, opening weekend of SEC
• 41:45
  Speaker 7: baseball with some marquee matchups, and we're gonna be able
• 41:47
  Speaker 7: to see where the Tigers are against unranked Vanderbilt. Again
• 41:51
  Speaker 7: not something we say very often over the last couple
• 41:53
  Speaker 7: of years decade, Vanderbilt not ranked. As we go into
• 41:57
  Speaker 7: SEC play, we still are going to have j clark
• 42:00
  Speaker 7: On head coach LSU Gymnastics.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: In our number three.
