  Speaker 4: weather reports every single day.
• 1:34

  Speaker 4: I did not a drop.
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: Rely that Like, driving was nice. There wasn't anybody on
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: the road. I feel like a lot of people canceled
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: work because of it. No, rain wasn't depressing at all.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: I was cruising. I was like, yeah, I know, it's
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: good enough for a depression. Wasn't depressing at all driving in.
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: So yesterday, after the show, I saw this text and
• 2:17
  Speaker 6: it was like, don't know if the text line can
• 2:19
  Speaker 6: receive pictures, but ask mad if he's ready to put
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: his flashes on later. And then somebody and he sent
• 2:25
  Speaker 6: a picture and it's somebody turning their flashes on. It
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: said it's raining. Got to warn them that I'm an.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: Idiot, Wow, a safe idiot. So you probably shouldn't tell
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: people that we can get pictures.
• 2:42
  Speaker 6: We just reiterated the point.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: So because we can't, I can't do it.
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: No, I didn't see that picture she made it up,
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: I did. I just wanted to call you an idiot
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: flashers on.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: It's fair enough. Jake calls me an idiot every day. True,
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: it was allowed. You're trying to take a really elaborate shot.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: We can't. We can't actually have can actually a story. Well,
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: Jake is enjoying.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: I hope their weather is okay, they're enjoying Memphis is
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: friend of the show of Memphis.

  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good point. He sabotaged one of our sponsors, potentially.
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: He kind of came in and caused a lot of problems,
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: a lot of problems for us, writing a lot of
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: apology letters.
• 3:22

• 4:19
  Speaker 4: over the world, the country in the world, this country
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: that's in the world. Probably maybe people from outside. We'll see.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: They are going to be competing.
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: It's the best team, like team of like Dominicans and
• 4:31
  Speaker 6: Puerto Ricans, just like Moroccos in town hanging out with Bilozzi, like.
• 4:39

• 4:57
  Speaker 3: For nine.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: But anyway, so the Tripod if you are just tuning in,
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: Tripod's rolling with you all day today, all day tomorrow.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: And guess what else is starting today? Speaking of bad weather,
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: woo us open talking golf people. Jake doesn't let me
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: talk a lot of golf. Guess what. Jake ain't here.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: So we're gonna talk a little bit of US Open
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: right now. The US Open traditionally known as the hardest
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: golf tournament the entire year.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: It is the country's championship.
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: And guess what, they like to really test all the golfers.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: It's one of the most fun tournaments to watch. I'm
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: a favorite tournament. The Masters would be my favorite tournament,
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: but this is one of the most fun tournaments to
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: watch because it's always a little bit different. They pretty
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: much it's like a groundskeeper's revenge on the best players
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: in the world. They set up the course with the
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: most intense, intense environment possible. They make the greens as
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: fast as they can, they roll them as hard as
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: they can, they grow the rough as tall and as
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: thick as they can, And basically they are trying to
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: present the hardest and the toughest challenge and while still
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: maintaining like actual golf, but the hardest challenge possible on
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: a golf course and a setup for the best players
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: in the world, and is always exciting to watch it.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: And as a casual golfer, I'm a casual golfer. There's
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: tons of casual golfers out there. It's always fun to
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: watch them. Play this tournament because most of them look human,
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: you know, something like, oh, well, yeah, I do that
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: all the time. I do it on a way easier
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: course than they're doing. But they are playing the tournament
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: this year in Shinnakok Hills, which is in Long Island.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: It is known to be wind set up correctly, one
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: of the tougher courses because wind and the natural elements
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: Mother Nature really takes a toll on this tournament. This
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: the last time the US Open has played it a
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: cock was in twenty eighteen. Brooks Kaprica Rain Supreme that weekend.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: But it's funny to say that all the best golfers
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: in the world. He won that tournament at plus one.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: Nobody finished even par, nobody finished under under par. He
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: won the last time it was there, he won at
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: plus one. Now the fairways are going to be a
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: little bit wider, but still the rough is going to
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: be five inches, it's gonna be thick.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: Their wind is going insane.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: I think they just had an hour hour delay due
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: to fog, So the weather's gonna be bad today. So
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: it just going You are going to see the best
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: golfers in the world look very, very human. The greens
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: are going to be rolling so fast. It's gonna be
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: like Pradice and putting in your garage, putting on some
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: smooth concrete out there, I think they're gonna run that
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: they're expected to potentially get up to like running twelve
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: or thirteen on the centimeters.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Which is like crazy fast.
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: They're gonna be running so fast that if it's not
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: raining or drizzling. I think they're even playing on watering
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: the greens like mid day, like halfway through the day,
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: just to keep the at least playable, because there is
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: at this course, it gets so windy and the greens
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: can get so hard and so fast that if the
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: balls just sitting on the green, the wind can blow
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: it off the green. It's that kind of course, and
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: it's gonna be frustrated. And these people, these golfers that
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: are used to going and throwing up you know, fifteen
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: hunder par, twenty under par in a tournament, they are
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: in a little bit of a challenge and it becomes
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: a mental challenge as well. So they got a grind.
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: It's gonna be a four day grind, and it's a
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: battle of attrition out there in the golf world, and
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: they're gonna have to be okay with card and a
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: double bogie, maybe card a triple bogie. Well, it doesn't
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: matter what you card. You gotta bounce back because you
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: got a shot. Brooks keptical one. Like I said eight
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: years ago at plus one, which is wild.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: Laundry. Feel pretty educated? Now you ready, Taylor ready? Yeah?
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: Shinna cock, Yeah, shinnecock. You call it shiny something earlier, remember.
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I just that's one of the words you make
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: sure you pronounce correctly. Yeah, you gotta get the shin
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: apart correct. You don't want to say shiny. You got
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: to make sure.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: It starts to sound really weird.
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: No, I'm in on it, Me and me and Luke.
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: There's is a bunch of a sicko he is. We
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: were talking to high school golf during the break. Imagine
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: that we played in high school apparently shout out to
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: the Episcopal night.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: All right, that's what I'm talking about. So what's the
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: handicap of there, Luke.
• 9:36
  Speaker 7: I would say I haven't plugged in my handicap in
• 9:39
  Speaker 7: a while, but I would say it's probably.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: A three tuo.
• 9:44
  Speaker 7: Yeah, this guy solid three.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: He's sam bag and son of a gun.
• 9:48
  Speaker 7: If I go out there, I'm just trying to if
• 9:50
  Speaker 7: I break eighty, m.
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: Happy Okay, yeah, all right. Where what was the last
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: time you played?
• 9:56
  Speaker 7: Last time I played was Beaver Creek a couple months ago.
• 10:00
  Speaker 7: Shot a sixty nine.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: My god, get out, get out.
• 10:04
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I was uh twelve, made a couple of bogies
• 10:08
  Speaker 7: down the stretch.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: Where you're playing from like we're you just putting sorry
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: from the friends and just chipping.
• 10:15
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it was Uh. I actually didn't play that great.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, this guy, but all right, shout it
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: turns my cup. So I didn't play very good. I
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: told you I Uh.
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: I shot a sixty nine on Sunday, but it was
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: only through the first four holes. So but at one
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: point I was there. I'm not very good. Nice, I'm
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: about as casual of a golfer as you could possibly be.
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: I played like once a year. Well, yeah, y'all got
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: a chance. Apparently Luis got a really good chance. You
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: can qualify.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: I think don't know the last four champions of the
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: US Open. We're not top ten golfers. JJ Spawn came
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: out of nowhere last year and the year before Bryson
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: did it was not a top ten golfer at the time,
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: Wyndham Clark before that, and Matthew Fitzpatrick before that.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: So this is the.
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: Tournament where you get rewarded for just clean play. A
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: lot of the guys that try to bully these courses
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: don't do well in the US Open. Now, Bryson did
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: well a couple of years ago, but it wasn't at Shinnacock,
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: So it's gonna be interesting. This is one of those
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: tournaments that the person that is can consistently be accurate,
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: can make the putts and not do anything to just
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: absolutely blow up around is usually going to be in
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: it at the end, at the at least through the weekend.
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: And you gotta be able to bounce back from, like
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: I said, from a double bogey. You gotta be able
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: to bounce back from that, because everybody's gonna make one.
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: Everybody's gonna make a double bogee, probably multiple of them.
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: This is just this is one of the Remember the
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: clip of Phil Mickelson picking up his ball as it
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: moved like this is that course because he put it
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: like I think he was like putting it five or
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: six different times because it kept like rolling next to
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: the hole and he didn't make it. It would roll like
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: twelve feet past or whatever, and he got so frustrated
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: with a course he just picked it up as the
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: ball was rolling.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: That that was this course. So it's it's gonna be
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: fun to watch.
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: I'd like to go through and everybody make a pick
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: as well. Luke, I know you're a little bit more.
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: I mean, you shot a sixty nine the other day,
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: not a big deal. I liked you might be a
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: little bit tuned in. So I want you to pick first,
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: and you can pick anybody. You can even pick Scheffler,
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: who's not having his best season. He's playing well. He's
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: only won once this year, which for him is wild.
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: To go ahead, what you got.
• 12:47
  Speaker 7: I'm gonna go with. So before the season started I
• 12:51
  Speaker 7: told people that Scheffler wouldn't win a major this year.
• 12:55
  Speaker 7: Oh but comparing him to last year is kind of
• 12:58
  Speaker 7: unfair because what he did last year is in the incredible.
• 13:01
  Speaker 7: It was Tiger like. So my pick this week is
• 13:08
  Speaker 7: uh Rory McElroy. Okay, I think he's the best iron
• 13:11
  Speaker 7: player on the tour and a few thous and his
• 13:14
  Speaker 7: driver and he putts. I think he's got a really good.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: I think the US Open was the first major Rory won,
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: like in twenty eleven or something like that, a long
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: time ago. Yeah, so his game is set up for it,
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: so yeah, we'll see.
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: It's just how accurate can the driver be? Like, like
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: I said, the fairies a little bit wider than they
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: have been they were in twenty eighteen, but I mean
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: if you going to the rough, it's five inches there.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 13:37
  Speaker 7: Oh yeah, I'm expecting a similar finish to twenty eighteen,
• 13:43
  Speaker 7: especially if the weather keeps up. But the USGA came
• 13:47
  Speaker 7: out with a statement, released it to all the players
• 13:50
  Speaker 7: on tours, saying that the greens are not an ideal
• 13:54
  Speaker 7: condition because of the wind.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: So that's why they're going to water and like they
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: they made that role like because they are so fast
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: the ball could blow off of it.
• 14:03
  Speaker 7: Yeah, wrong, wind, thick rough, Green's not ideal. I'm expecting
• 14:07
  Speaker 7: a similar finish to twenty eighteen.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: I love it. Megues as hard as you can, no water,
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: let that ball roll off. Scotty.
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Scotty has had two seasons in a row where
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: it's like been very tiger like. So for him just
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: to win the one now he's been consistent, I think
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: is like his accuracy on his approach shots hasn't been
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: quite as good as it normally is, so that's kind
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: of been the difference maker him. But he's been close.
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: He's been close. I mean, he's always going to be
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: in it, but he like, if he wins this, this
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: will be the career Grand Slam for him. We saw
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: Rory McElroy do it earlier this year with the Masters.
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: The Masters is the last notch in his belt. Us
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: opened the last notch in Scotti Scheffler's belt. So that's the.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: One major he has not won.
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: So if he does it, he will be the seventh
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: person all time to have a career Grand Slam win
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: all four of these majors. Wonder, do you know any
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: golfer's name?
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: No, but I've been looking them up right now.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: Good, I was stalling for you.
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: This is I mean, obviously I know Scottie Shuffler.
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: Clearly, this is uh, this is turnover chain worthy.
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna go John.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: Kay Hey, old.
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: Rombo, oh Rombo, here's my pick.
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: All right, Old Rambo, live golfer. Is he your big
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: your big live person?
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: Oh lovely love live, laugh live, laugh love live Taylor.
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: A guy that has just been kind of nipping at
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: the heels of some of the top guys all year.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna go Chris Gottrup. Okay, so Chris Gottrup's got
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: this weekend. Okay, let's go. He's been playing, he's been
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: playing pretty well this year, and I didn't we need to.
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: Probably we'll probably follow up and get the odds of
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: these people, what their live Vegas odds are. Always like
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: in golf, it's always like, yeah, your best, Like if
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: you're plus four hundred, that's like a crazy favorite. So
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: we'll see what the we see the odds are on
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: all these But my pick is gonna be Russell Henley.
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: I know that's kind of a boring name. No one's
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: really ever. If you're not like a golf Siico or
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: big golf fan, like you probably hadn't heard of Russell.
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: But he's number five in the.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: World this year.
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: He leads the PGA in driving accuracy and he leads
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: the PGA in scrambling percentage. So two things that you
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: must have. I'll be able to scramble and be accurate
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: off the tea box. Now there's a lot more that
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: comes with that, but that's going to be my pick.
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: So I think he's probably going to be a popular
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: pick because a lot of people are gonna look at
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: driving accuracy. But yeah, I'm gona go with Russell Henley.
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: He's plus thirty six hundred.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: Russell A.
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: Launder's John rompick so plus twelve hundred. Yeah, I mean
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: is that third best?
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: Yes, because Rory McElroy's plus nine fifty. Scotty Shuffler's the
• 16:46
  Speaker 6: favorite plus four fifty five. I mean, sorry, Rory McElroy's
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: plus nine to fifty, okay, and then Scotti Sheffler's plus
• 16:54
  Speaker 6: four fifty five, he's the favorite.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: That's wild.
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: Henley and Gottaro both in the top fifteen odds wise, So.
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: Okay, Scheffler being plus four fifty five is wild, especially
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: with the weather at this that's really low.
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: When I was doing my little tiny bit of research
• 17:15
  Speaker 6: just now, everybody was picking him.
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he's become kind of a cop out.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: Well, you usually don't make money betting against him, but
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: you know, and I think a lot of people do
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: like top ten and top five finishes when they bet
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: on going.
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: Wait, who did you pick?
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: Okay, so we're you second, Okay, all of our picture
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: in the top fifteen odds, let's go.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know who would have thought big golf guys.
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: I wanted to go. I wanted to go see Woo
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: him because I like the name.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: It's a good name.
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: He's l thirty six hundred.
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so he's pretty popular as well because of his
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: driving accuracy. Okay, he's a popular pick as well, So
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: watch out for Seawoom if you're looking at some bets.
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: Usually don't make money betting on winners because it's just
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: so hard to pick a winner, but you can find
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: some guys and use some statistics to bet you know
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: that the top ten finishes. You can also find some
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: bets for like head to head people head to head
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: on that specific day, and you can look at Okay,
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: well's one guy played in the afternoon of the morning,
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: usually the afternoons, and these types of tournament are much
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: more difficult because it's winds pick up in the afternoon
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: a lot of times. But obviously the weather's gonna be
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: bad all weekend, or at least all day today over there,
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: so I expect high scores, a lot of excitement, so
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: you'll see a lot of not top ten situations happening
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: this week over at Shinnecock Hills and not Shiny Taylor.

• 20:47
  Speaker 4: four five?
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: Did I nail that? I got it right?
• 20:52
  Speaker 6: I wasn't pay Atten.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: Two two five four five.
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: Perfect?
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: You know what's not perfect? I don't like this, but
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: not everything is just sunshine rainbows in the LC Athletic
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: World LSU Softball. It's not looking good right now from
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: a roster management standpoint. Correct, it's not looking great.
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: I don't love the way that it's looking you're losing
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: a lot of yeah, a lot of your best players.
• 21:35
  Speaker 6: I would say most of them. Well, there's two big
• 21:38
  Speaker 6: ones really, I mean some of them are hits. But
• 21:42
  Speaker 6: Jade and Heavner obviously we talked about she was your
• 21:46
  Speaker 6: go to pitcher this season and last season through a
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: perfect game versus Charlotte. This year, I think it was
• 21:52
  Speaker 6: like February her career or I guess for this season.
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: Her ERA was two point eighty one. So really good
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: picture that you're losing to the transfer portal. She goes
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: to Texas Tech. Texas Tech is doing some really weird
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: stuff over there.
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: I'm so over that, I know.
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: Right, but this is the second year that you lose
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: your go to picture. So you lost Burzon last season
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: and then Tory Edwards, who was really good offensively and
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: at first base. She was her breakout season was like
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: red shirt freshman year, hit eighteen home runs, batting seventy
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: three runs. And her sophomore year she hit twelve home runs,
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: scored forty five RBI and again was just like a
• 22:41
  Speaker 6: staple in the lineup. You lose her, and then you
• 22:44
  Speaker 6: lose Maddix McKee. She's going to Tory Edwards hasn't announced
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: where she's going yet, but Maddix McKee is going to
• 22:50
  Speaker 6: Texas A and M. She's a utility player. When Danica
• 22:53
  Speaker 6: Coffee went down, she came in for her. Didn't see
• 22:57
  Speaker 6: a lot of playing time this season, but somebody that
• 23:00
  Speaker 6: could come in and if somebody is down, she can
• 23:03
  Speaker 6: come and help out. And then you lose Destiny Harris,
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: Jada Phillips. Jada Lenau was injured for more so the
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: most of the season. But that's another really good player
• 23:12
  Speaker 6: that you're losing to the transfer portal Grady Appling and
• 23:15
  Speaker 6: Lauren Soaken. So seeing news for plenty of transfers, haven't
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: really seen a lot of news of people coming in
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: to LSU.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: This Pigeon stuff, it's gonna be rough.
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: Because like you lose heaving her, Peyton, Montacelli's a senior,
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: she's out of eligibility, Clopton's gone.
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: I mean, we're living in a portal world right now
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: in college sports, and you know, I mean maybe this
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: is kind of.
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: Like, I mean, they're all going to Texas Tech or Texas.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, Texas Tech famous for paying paying people,
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: Well how much do they pay there?
• 23:51
  Speaker 6: A million million dollars?
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: Which was unheard of.
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: For you know, you know, right wrong indifferent for female sports.
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: That was like the first like big, big one that
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: we heard about outside of you know, the NIL stuff,
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: outside of female athletes getting paid big money from the NIL,
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: but like just from the the college offer money. They
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: are certainly do it doing it at a at.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: A high level.
• 24:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, it's just that's a lot of people
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: that you're losing, and key players too with Jaden and
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: Torri Edwards, and then you have nothing coming in.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: I just.
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: Go to the Supers as year, get eliminated there and
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: I don't know, like Beth has a lot of work
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: to do this offseason, a lot of work to do
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: it and I know the Supers is good, but we
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: haven't been to Okay See in a while.
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: Do you think losing in the Supers do you think
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: they ended the season with positive momentum, like just from
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: a or is it disappoint I mean it's always this
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: point when you lose the last game of your season.
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: I got it, yeah, But so you make it to
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: the Supers, do you think they carried any like obviously
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: it's not positive now with your best players leaving and
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: you haven't brought anybody in, right, But did you have
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: the feeling that it was going to be like a
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: little bit positive going after that?
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: I didn't think that this many people would transfer out,
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: and I certainly didn't think that your star pitcher would,
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: So to answer your question, I guess I did think
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: that there was like some positivity because it was the
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: furthest like I don't know, so I didn't think that
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: this many people would transfer out for softball.
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: You would think it's a situation where there's so many
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: resources being poured to the other sports at LSU that
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: there's just not much left to be able to offer
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: to keep up with I mean, certainly nobody's keeping up
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: with Texas Tack in the office right in the softball world. Yeah,
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: but is this a situation where LSU, I mean, softball
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: is like left holding the bag a little bit for
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: these other sports.
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: It absolutely probably can be that because, like you said,
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: the resources for Texas Tech Softball are unlimited, it seems
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: like it is for Texas Softball as well, like you're
• 25:59
  Speaker 6: either going there or to Texas And yeah, I mean
• 26:03
  Speaker 6: whenever you're using all your resource so so much like yes,
• 26:09
  Speaker 6: there's only so much to go around and Verge the
• 26:11
  Speaker 6: Athletic direct Verge Osberry says that coach Charina is safe
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: in her spot. So I think that everybody is satisfied
• 26:18
  Speaker 6: with LSU being where they're at because they're winning enough,
• 26:23
  Speaker 6: so they're not going to I don't think that that's
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: an investment that Verge wants to make into the softball program,
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: given his comment that Beth Terina has basically her job
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: being safe. And I'm not saying like, hey, you need
• 26:36
  Speaker 6: to fire Beth Terarina. I'm just saying that, Like that
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: tells me that he's okay with where that program is, right.
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: For whatever reason that is. It could be like we're
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: okay with them being as good as they are. Yeah,
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: it's like if we get a great year, we go
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: to the World Series one year, that's great.
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: Or it can be like that's safe because she's awesome
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: and we're not giving her a lot to be successful. Yeah,
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: and like she's literally doing as best as.
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: She can do.
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: Like maybe that's like there's a lot of different reasonings
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: and certainly an ad Is is probably not gonna like yeah,
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: I guess we see it in football, but like probably
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: not gonna call anybody out either, but certainly it's not
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: looking great from a roster standpoint.
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: But to say that she's safe is a pretty that's
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: a pretty strong deft.
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: You're right, Yeah, you're right, that is a strong statement.
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: I'm not saying that he needs to come out and
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: say like, yeah, she needs to get something together or again,
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: I am not saying that fire Butterina. I'm saying he
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: told you with that statement that he's okay where that
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: program is.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: And you got to think about, like the pie is
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: only so big, and there's a lot of sports wanting
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: a bigger piece of that pie.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: Somebody is going to get a smaller piece.
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: And then if you're in this portal world, if you're
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: trying to compete with less resources for a sport, and
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: there's others schools like Texas Tech like Texas that are
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: saying like, well, this is a very important piece to
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: our pie, the softball, and we're gonna give it a
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: bigger slice, like you can't compete always so h And
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: it's and it's unfortunate too because the the we tuned
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: in this year.
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: I mean, I I can't say that I've like in
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: years past that we've been locked in and watched a
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: lot of the softball, but man, I'm glad we did
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: this year because it was fun, it was exciting, and
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: so it is.
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: It's it's tough to see. You know, a lot of
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: it was because of those two girls that are no
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: longer on your team. So hopefully they can get replaced.
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: Hopefully Beth can get in go have some success in
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: the portal. You know, maybe the success that other teams
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: at LSU are having can help the recruiting for softball
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: as well.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: It's just different. Yeah, that's what people keep saying.
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: Between pitching in position players. You got four players with
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: experience coming back. That's it. I mean, Cccalo can come back.
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: She was good for you, Sierra Daniel, charl Lawrence, Kylie Edwards.
• 29:10
  Speaker 6: Well, no, so Kylie hit the portal too. I completely
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: let that out yesterday she hit. Kylie Edwards hit so
• 29:17
  Speaker 6: Kylie Edwards also is a very good She was the
• 29:20
  Speaker 6: first LSU Yeah, first LHU. How did I not mention this?
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: She was the first LSU softball player to hit for
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: the cycle. Like she is really good to another huge
• 29:31
  Speaker 6: key player that is going to be leaving the program
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: one I.
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: Know you chose to forget that one.
• 29:39
  Speaker 6: I must have because I literally sent it to the
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: group chat yesterday and I was like, oh, here's another one.
• 29:44
  Speaker 6: So I yeah, I don't know how I didn't.
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: And like Hittings one thing, but you brought in Avery
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: Hodge two years ago to play short Kylie Edwards is
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: such a good shortstop.
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: She replaced her.
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: You moved her to third, so like she did it
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: offensively and defensively.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: So okay.
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: So now you have charl Lawrence late in the outfield
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: last year, Sierra Daniel second third wherever you need her,
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: and CC Solea. That's the group of players that gave
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: you significant time.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: We love Beth and front of the show. She comes,
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: she's she's great. She's been at LSU a long time.
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: Uh we in this world gotta be good on the field.
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: You gotta be good with your ex's nose, your game plan,
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: your rotations. But you have to be equally as good
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: at recruiting other college players. So we will see. The
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: jury is still out on how this roster is going
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: to get completed for next year.
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: There's still a lot of time.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Too.
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: Will wade a little while, get some players, yeah, some
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: international international yeah, or some maybe some professionals.
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that the new league, the League of Lunder was
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: talking about the other day. Yeah, get players some of those, Yeah,
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: following in junction if they're ineligible, why not.
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: You can do it. You can do it successfully. There's
• 31:03

  Speaker 4: come together anyway. I think it's a pretty good reason
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: if you are a l SU softball fan to be
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: a little bit nervous and a little bit disappointed that
• 31:29

• 31:37
  Speaker 4: didn't signed anybody and to replace this yet. But there's
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: still time. So good luck to the softball team to
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: go look to Beth, go crush it, go recruit.

  Speaker 4: Their lineup was hidden everything going off of like like
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: hitting into the shift and still finding the gap on
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: that side of the field, like over and over. And

  Speaker 6: Like for Oklahoma to come out of nowhere and just well,
• 40:15
  Speaker 6: to me, I feel like they came out of nowhere.

  Speaker 3: No, they I feel like that's they were a very
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: high seed, were they?
• 40:23
  Speaker 6: No, But for them to beat Georgia, I literally thought
• 40:27
  Speaker 6: Georgia was going to win the entire thing. How cy though,
• 40:31
  Speaker 6: so Colby Branch and his brother they were I'm sure
• 40:35
  Speaker 6: you heard it on the broadcast. They mentioned it a
• 40:37
  Speaker 6: million times. But the brothers played each other, hit a
• 40:41
  Speaker 6: home run and his little smile was so cute.
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so that was his last at bat, last for Georgia,
• 40:48
  Speaker 4: hit the home run, and his brother's playing third base,
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: courts up and give him a little.
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: High five of them. Yeah, he was like, how cute
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: is that?
• 40:56

• 40:57
  Speaker 3: Family ties.
• 40:58
  Speaker 6: I love baseball.
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: Nothing stronger than family.
• 41:01
  Speaker 6: True.
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: Oklahoma, they beat Damon nine nothing, then they beat Georgia twice.
• 41:09
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's crazy.
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: That's the craziest.
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: Your confidence level in Georgia I going in is just
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: like a testament to how.
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: Good they were and how good they were playing.
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and Oklahoma, unranked, goes to College World Series and
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: beats him twice, beats them.
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: Four to three, and then they beat him yesterday. What
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: was the score? It was eleven to four.
• 41:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: They were fourteen and sixteen in the SEC.
• 41:34
  Speaker 6: That's crazy.
• 41:35
  Speaker 5: So they had a losing record in the SEC. And
• 41:37
  Speaker 5: we know how good Georgia was all year long. You
• 41:39

  Speaker 3: I don't look at Oklahoma and I don't either, but
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: they're looking at a threat.
