  Speaker 6: I think you just started not howling when Jake was
• 1:01

• 1:13
  Speaker 6: And he was like why not?
• 1:14

• 1:16
  Speaker 8: Of us, Yeah, it's not the wolf pack.
• 1:17
  Speaker 6: But then we came to a conclusion that maybe it's
• 1:19
  Speaker 6: because you're not good at howling.
• 1:23

  Speaker 7: He does.
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: I don't know how much of the social media running

• 7:49
  Speaker 6: need him to post today, so we'll see what happens
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: with that.
• 7:51
  Speaker 8: And so there's a caban involved.
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: So he said, this is what and this might be
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: the most Chris Marler story. Like he calls me a
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: straight he's like some listener that we have and she's
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: like a huge fan.
• 8:03
  Speaker 7: I forgot her name.
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: I'm sorry, but shout out if you're listening and you
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: know who you are, Like if you know, you know.
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: But he was like, she said that her friend is
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: super rich and she has these tickets to a cabana
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: and they're extra because they're leaving or whatever. And he
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: goes in the cabana and he's the only one in there.
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: So he's just in the cavana, gobbling some glizzies and
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: drinking some beers all by himself.
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: Is this kind of like in middle school, like when
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: someone sits at the table at lunch and then everybody.
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: Kind of gets nobody else wants to sit with them,
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: just everybody. Well, he did say all the other cabanas
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: had people in them.
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Chris is looking over at the next one. He's like,
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: can I can I join you? Guys?
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: This happens every time I go to What if I
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: just walked over to the next one, yeah, then it
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: would just kind of clear out. I guess, all right, well,
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: good for him, Like we can switch cabanas if you
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: cannot join this stuff. Yeah, not happening. So this isn't
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: vacation for him. This is work.
• 9:02
  Speaker 7: I don't know what he's doing over there. I think
• 9:04
  Speaker 7: it's a.
• 9:04
  Speaker 8: Little bit of yeah, yeah, definitely. I mean you shouldn't
• 9:07
  Speaker 8: love what you do. Love work.
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but you're just telling her to CAMBANDA probably not
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: running a lot of social media.
• 9:13
  Speaker 7: He texted us when he got there that he forgot
• 9:15
  Speaker 7: his laptop charger.
• 9:17
  Speaker 8: Smart.
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: I mean, also, you need to go look in his office.
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: I heard he's got a picture up. That was the
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: big news. That was the big announcement on Monday.
• 9:27
  Speaker 7: He teased and forgot.
• 9:28
  Speaker 8: Yeah, oh that was it.
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: Okay, So he was texting I He's like he texts
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: like one hundred, like like what you see here on air?
• 9:39
  Speaker 8: Is how he also communicates via text.
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: Anything he's thinking to, he'll call you. So like tuesday,
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: we were doing the little like pediatrician tours. We're in
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: the truck driving home. Chris Marler's name pops upon the
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: little screen. I was like, I'm not answering that. Victory's
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: like why. I was like, this is probably not gonna
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: be anything. I was like, finally answered, he gets, hey, man,
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: I remember the big surprise or Jacob mag gonna be
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: there tomorrow. I was like, sorry, man, like they're probably
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: not gonna make it to the media. Yep, dang, all right,
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: well photoshop myself into a picture of them and they
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: have to see it. He already texted us that okay, yeah,
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: announcing it's printed, and then he goes, all right, I'll
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: see you later.
• 10:19
  Speaker 8: That was it, Okay, see you later.
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: So we've made fun of Marler for a long time
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: because his office has four blank walls and that's it.
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: He doesn't have any like, no decoration, no picture. He
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: loves his dogs, I know, like at least put maybe
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: a picture of a dog. I don't know, something, maybe
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: an Alabama pennant right, like a locked on cocks whatever
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: it is for his podcast that he loves so dearly,
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: but nothing so we've always made fun of him for it.
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: Now at a certain point, I think he just became
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: a thing right that he's just going to keep it plain.
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: And I don't know why, because certainly there's not a
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: dull moment or a blank space.
• 10:59
  Speaker 8: In his brain at any point, can't be.
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: But the walls on his office are absolutely blank, like
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: a crazy person, like a criminal almost. So he text
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: Jake and I the other day. I was hoping you
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: guys would be here for the big reveal. But I
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: finally decorated the office. And then in three separate texts,
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: he counted down three, two, one, and then he sent
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: a picture of his office with a just a regular
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: standard eight by eleven and a half or it was
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: it eight and a half by eleven piece of paper,
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: just printed on the regular not even like photoprint of

  Speaker 5: Sense in the center fright above his seat. So good

• 14:48
  Speaker 6: So in twenty ten, a twenty one year old woman
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: fell thirty feet from the extreme roller coaster located in
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: Dixie Landon.
• 14:57
  Speaker 8: So you're right, okay, but that's not there.
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: Okay that that was a rumor saying, yeah, that's not
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: gonna be But did happen. So I'm sure they took
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: multiple safety precautions.
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: Dressed the bees. I don't think that's why they close close.
• 15:14
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it's back open though. I guess the wave pool
• 15:18
  Speaker 8: at it back.
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: I guess, uh, some sweet all of Walker is going
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: to be completely empty every time there's a new concert
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: at Blue Bikey we used to so it's funny.
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: I never went to a Blue by U concert, but
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: every summer in junior high, we'd have like the we
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: get the season pass. You'd walk in first day of summer,
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: take your picture against the wall, print you out that
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: little look like a driver's license. You thought you were
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: like the man.
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, no doubt, I'm sure season I mean you
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: probably grew up with the season pass, right Oh yeah.
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you still love Blue By.
• 15:53
  Speaker 8: What's the number one concert you ever went to?
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: No, I never went. I'm saying I never went to
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: a concert.
• 15:59
  Speaker 8: Never went to. But they've had some decent ones, right yeah.
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah. If it's you said the big electronics on.
• 16:07
  Speaker 8: We probably need to update that marquee.
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: I think it was just throwing like the little grass
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: area and they had like the pavilion. I don't think
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: they had like a set area.
• 16:17
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: Oh, Greg Diego in the chat saying Dixie Landy did
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: not reopen, just the water parks.
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: So also, I don't think all the slides are fully
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: open yet. It's like eighty percent. They did like a
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: soft opening last week, and they're kind of like.
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: Gradually lifeguards are on duty, of course, I mean I'm
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: sure hopefully.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: So.
• 16:43
  Speaker 8: Dixie Landing's a roller coaster part.
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: Dixie Lands like the non water land party on the land,
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: buy you land. I guess that makes sense. I mean
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: I drive by it now that those roller coasters don't
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: scream at me like, hey I want to ride that
• 17:01

  Speaker 5: day and in the group chats like, hey, I went
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: over there and it really was actually very quick. So
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: don't be intimidated by go check it out. Just start
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: that conversation with him right over there, go flow IV.
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: All right, this is this is usually a pretty high energy,
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: feel good show. But uh, things happened. Life happens, and uh,
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: sometimes tragedy happens, and certain that happened yesterday. Everybody the
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: sporty world was kind of shooking at the loss of
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: Kyle Busch, NASCAR legend, one of the one of the
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: greatest drivers of all time in the NASCAR Series, passed
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: away yesterday unexpectedly from a sickness. He was hospitalized. I
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: don't know if it was hospitalized yesterday or he's been
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: hospitalized for a couple of days or whatever, but unexpectedly,
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: out of nowhere, seemingly out of nowhere at least, passed away.
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: Two time Cup champ, sixty three career wins in the
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: NASCAR Series, but two hundred and forty three total wins
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: and all three of the NASCAR Series, and just you know,
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: I think a little over a week ago, won a
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: race in the truck Series. Yeah, last Saturdays this past Saturday,
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: and there's kind of the clip clip going viral, which
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: is a little bit eerie now of him saying, you
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: never know when it's going to be your last time,
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: and he's talking about winning because he's done it so much.
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: Two hundred and forty three wins, which is absolutely incredible.
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: That makes him the whole time wins wins leader in
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: all the combined NASCAR series. So father, a husband, and
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: an absolute giant in a sport. I think another driver
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: said that NASCAR lost it's Kobe Bryant with this guy,
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: and so I think he was if I'm remembering correctly,
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: he's been in the game an extremely long time.
• 24:01
  Speaker 8: I think he's sixteen years old.
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they had to change of the rules because he
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: was so good, so young, and you started competing at
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: sixteen years old in.
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: The kind of a hothead early on, right, I think
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: I think Jeff Gordon cussed him out and got real
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: mad at him at one point. I think he was
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: known by his peers and the people that in the
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: NASCAR world is one of the most talented drivers to
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: ever step inside a car. So it's sad to see
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: anytime when a legend, and you know, we're a sports show,
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: so we talk about sports, and so like anybody in
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: the sports world, it's always heartbreaking to see anybody pass away,
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: but especially somebody that's in the middle of their craft
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: and doing what they do and they pass away so young.
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: Seemingly unsecs unexpected and leaves behind a wife, the children,
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: and uh, it's extremely sad. So our heart goes out
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: to him, our prayers go out to his family and
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: all his loved ones. And yeah, it's just you know,
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: I don't think, you know, any of us three are
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: going to pretend like we're the biggest like NASCAR fans
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: by any means, but nonetheless we're human beings.
• 25:21
  Speaker 8: And I could not imagine. And what a crazy thing too.
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: It's like you said, it goes from winning winning a
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: race on Saturday, having an interview and I think it's
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: he was telling his pit crew like, hey, I'm feeling
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: I'm feeling a little sick.
• 25:34
  Speaker 8: Yeah, doctor right afterwards. So it has not been said
• 25:41
  Speaker 8: what it was.
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: But you know, we see, we see these things happen
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: every now and then we're just suddenly a sickness comes
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: out of nowhere. Uh, And it just reminds us all
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: that you can't take anything for granted, be thankful, thank
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: the Good Lord. Every single day you can put your
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: feet on the ground, and uh, you know, things might monotonous,
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: sometimes it might see a little mundane, but we should
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: all be lucky that we're here, so hearts go out
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: to him and the whole NASCAR family, his family, his kids,
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: his wife and everything. And uh, of course NASCAR losing
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: one of the best to ever do it in Kyle Busch.
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: So all right, no, we're really nowhere to go from there.
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: Let's take a break. We're gonna reset on the other
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: side of the break, and we'll get you ready for
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: a little LSU Softball super Regional right here on one
• 26:30

  Speaker 3: This is off the bench, all right, all right.
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: Welcome back here on off the bench laughing the Raisin
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: Kanes Studio. We got some high stakes softball coming this weekend.
• 28:14
  Speaker 5: LSU in Tuscaloosa taking on the Crimson Tide softball team,
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: and y'all were talking about how good they are.
• 28:28
  Speaker 7: Statistically.
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: They're they are better than LSU statistically on paper. But
• 28:37
  Speaker 6: ls she's rolling right now, and I think they can
• 28:40
  Speaker 6: roll with anybody in the country. And you saw it
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: with Oklahoma. I mean they beat Oklahoma once, kept the
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: games real close the other two times, and so elis
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: you can beat Alabama it's just a matter of going
• 28:53
  Speaker 6: out there and executing everything. But they've got power, they
• 28:56
  Speaker 6: have depth in the lineup. They have three different arms
• 28:59
  Speaker 6: that can beat you. Like their pitchers are really good too.
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: So I think that you have a tall task, but
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: I don't think that it's insurmountable.
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: If you're gonna get them, now's the time to do
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: it right.
• 29:13
  Speaker 7: Like your last year.
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: You haven't been back, you haven't been to College World
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: Series since twenty seventeen. Yeah, it's better than the graphic
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: we saw the other day. It was like since twenty
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: twenty four. This is actually like a tenure gap, so
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: that matters. But I mean, I'm sure, I'm sure if
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: Beth was like, we're as hot as we can be
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: right now, Like if I want to play them, this
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: is when I want to play them.
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: Like a of their last nine, twelve of their last fifteen.
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: Entering this weekend, LSU SOFTA makes it's eleventh NCAA Super
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: Regional appearance and ninth under head coach Beth Arena.
• 29:52
  Speaker 8: Not bad. So, like you said, they're hot.
• 29:54
  Speaker 7: And they are.
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: We've you know, we were a little bit wary on
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: this team.
• 30:01
  Speaker 8: The beginning of the beginning. Sure, I mean I wouldn't
• 30:03
  Speaker 8: even say the first half just like.
• 30:05
  Speaker 6: The no, I would say after the tournament and maybe
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: like after Tennessee. But to be fair, Tennessee was a
• 30:11
  Speaker 6: really good team and we weren't saying anything like oh
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: it's over for Elsh you saw ball. We were saying, hey,
• 30:17
  Speaker 6: this is what we see. But over time, as they
• 30:20
  Speaker 6: got better, we told you that too. And like I said,
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: they dominated their regional here in Baton Rouge, and Alabama
• 30:28
  Speaker 6: did really well in their Tuscaloose or Regional two. But
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: I don't like LSU just kind of feels like they're
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: rolling and they're like headed to I.
• 30:39
  Speaker 7: I mean, no, I don't want to speak too soon,
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: but like they just feel like they do it.
• 30:43
  Speaker 6: They just feel like they want it, and I know
• 30:45
  Speaker 6: that Alabama wants it to But like Taylor just said,
• 30:48
  Speaker 6: you haven't been to the College World Series since twenty seventeen, right,
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: so I think you know obviously, again, like Taylor said,
• 30:58
  Speaker 6: you got to get it done this weekend. Literally you're
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: a last chance. I mean, it's the Super Regional. But
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: if you're gonna be you just have to have like
• 31:07
  Speaker 6: every single part of your game working.
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: And it's gonna be a tall task. Certainly, four seed
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: l s U in there, and they're part of the bracket.
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: Number one seed Alabama Crimson Toad. They're one of four
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: number one seeds Alabama, Oklahoma, Texas, Nebraska. Pretty good company
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: there for Alabama as the number one seed. I was
• 31:29
  Speaker 5: looking at their I was looking at their regional There's
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: seriously a team.
• 31:33
  Speaker 8: I've never a college.
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: I've never heard of state or upstate?
• 31:36
  Speaker 8: Upstate, yeah, USC, I'm assuming South Carolina.
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: South Carolina, Yeah, probably?
• 31:43
  Speaker 8: What does upstate mean?
• 31:46
  Speaker 7: The part of the state.
• 31:48
  Speaker 5: The only time I've ever heard anybody referred to upstate
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: and it was like upstate New York, Yeah, northern So
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: I guess, well, like that's the only time I've ever
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: heard anybody refer you that word upstate.
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: That's where Tyler's from. Who called into Dabo Tyler from
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: Spartanburgh in season two years ago, shout out Sperg and Tyler.
• 32:09
  Speaker 6: Wait, I feel like we just played South Carolina upstate
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: in something.
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: In something that named that name.
• 32:15
  Speaker 7: Like I've heard this in school before.
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: To be confused with high Point, correct state high Point.
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: That's North Carolina, not not Virginia.
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: Like Jake just totally guessed, Yeah. I mean that's a
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: little cocky.
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: I feel like South Carolina to think it can refer
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: to itself as upstate.
• 32:33
  Speaker 8: Really South Carolina. We don't call it.
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: Shre report upstate Louisiana, North Louisiana, North Louisiana, North Louisiana,
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: I get it. New York, the state of New York
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: using it because of course in New York, New York is,
• 32:47
  Speaker 5: you know, one of the biggest cities in the entire world,
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: so like the rest of New York needs to be
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: called something upstate.
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: I actually I'm good the other way. I think it
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: makes more sense for South Carolina to do that, because
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: we're North Louisiana. You can't be northern South Carolina. Oh
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: that's a good God, South Carolina upstate. It's like North Louisiana.
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: Are you North South Carolina, North South Carolina, you're upstate.
• 33:15
  Speaker 7: That's actually a really.
• 33:18
  Speaker 8: Upstate.
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: I don't know they should probably it sounds better. It's
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: actually not a bad point. Got me thinking a little bit.
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: So we're here to do, man, we're here to work
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: the brain.
• 33:33
  Speaker 8: So quick question.
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: So you know Jake likes to call everything directional school,
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: you would upstate.
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: I think so it's a direction because it's north, like
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: you know where it is based on the name.
• 33:46
  Speaker 8: It's kind of like red neck direction.
• 33:48
  Speaker 7: Though, sure, but is your redneck if it's in New
• 33:51
  Speaker 7: York though.
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: Well, Like if you ask a redneck directions upstate, go
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: up I think it counts.
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: If you know the direction of the school based on
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: the name, it's probably directional school.
• 34:04
  Speaker 8: All right there.
• 34:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they were Southeastern USC upstate and Belmont was their regional.
• 34:13
  Speaker 8: Yeah, pretty good draw for them.
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: They scored a lot of runs in the regional, not
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: as much as and I guess if that's the silver lining,
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: Like take the SEC tournament out people pitch off and
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: you don't they We're not worried about run scored in
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: the SEC tournament. At the end of the season, Bama's
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: offense wasn't great. I mean, you beat Tennessee twelve to nothing, awesome,
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: You lose two nothing, then you lose four to one.
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: You sweep South Carolina, but it's three to two, one
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: to nothing, four to three. So their offense coming into
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: the tournament wasn't as explosive as it was at the
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: beginning of the year. Like they're still dangerous, they could
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: still pick it back up. They're playing at home. They're
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: great in tul Scalousa. But I mean, if you're looking
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: for silver lining last two series of the SEC Theydon
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: scored on a.
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and for LSU, it's going to be key to
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: stay hot at the plate because they're gonna be facing
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: a couple of really good pictures. Alabama's players to watch,
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: Jocelyn Brisky is absolutely just like musty television when you
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: watch ers. He's got a one point three eight ERA,
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: a twenty two and three record and has does have
• 35:21
  Speaker 5: a shot at being the National Picture of the Year,
• 35:23
  Speaker 5: which is pretty good because there are some dominant pictures
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: in the country. And then their other picture twenty and
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: four record with a one point sixty six e RA,
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: so they got a couple of studs there on the mound.
• 35:36
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: But look, if you are you're gonna go against a
• 35:39
  Speaker 5: couple of the best pictures in the country, you better
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: be hot.
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 35:42
  Speaker 6: I mean, Kylie Edwards is extremely hot right now, so
• 35:45
  Speaker 6: it is Jayla Lassiter and Tory Edwards is always gonna
• 35:48
  Speaker 6: give you something. But Brooke Wells from Alabama has twenty
• 35:51
  Speaker 6: two home runs on the season, so that's somebody else
• 35:53
  Speaker 6: that you should probably look out for.
• 35:55
  Speaker 7: Alex Puppio has seventeen.
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: It seems pretty high.
• 36:00
  Speaker 8: Hm, that seems high.
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: It seems like they're good.
• 36:03
  Speaker 6: They are this week one, two, three, four girls in
• 36:06
  Speaker 6: double digits home runs on Bama's team.
• 36:13
  Speaker 8: H him around the head. Yeah, take them out and.
• 36:15
  Speaker 6: Then like maybe you try to get like get to
• 36:17
  Speaker 6: on base with the hit by pitch and then maybe
• 36:20
  Speaker 6: try to get somebody to ground into a double play.
• 36:23
  Speaker 8: I think you think, Beth Scott, what it takes a
• 36:25
  Speaker 8: put a little bounty?
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: Maybe No, definitely not, definitely not.
• 36:35
  Speaker 8: Why not?
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: Why would she do that?
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: Not going to take him out? It is going to
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: be fun to watch. And I've been saying this for
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: a couple of weeks because you know, like I just
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: started getting into baseball this year because of radio, so
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: we just also started getting into softball as well, a
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: little bit later than baseball. Once we started getting into it, man,
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: those ladies are so fun to watch. The games are fast,
• 37:02
  Speaker 5: they're exciting, they're they're the the emotions.
• 37:06
  Speaker 8: They're just a lot of fun.
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: So you haven't been able to tune in to any
• 37:10
  Speaker 5: LSU softball. This is a perfect time to start. Six
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: pm tonight on ESPN two. They're gonna come back tomorrow
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: two pm on ESPN. And then if a game three
• 37:21
  Speaker 5: is necessary, if if if Alabama Squeaks went out, little
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: gentlemen sweep, maybe, but if they squeak, if Bama Squeaks
• 37:28
  Speaker 5: went out tonight or tomorrow, they will be a little
• 37:30
  Speaker 5: TBD on Sunday. But check them out, seriously, it's they're
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: fun to watch. Team Flynn's going to be locked in,
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: jumping around, hollering, houting, hating, hollering, all the good stuff.
• 37:47
  Speaker 8: Send them up, sit them down, ladies.
• 37:49
  Speaker 7: Hell yeah, I'm hype.
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: Prove them wrong, ladies wrong.
• 37:54
  Speaker 7: I wonder if that guy ever wrote another article.
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: I don't know, I take that back. Let's not do prove.
• 38:01
  Speaker 8: All Virginia that.
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, but hurt.
• 38:07
  Speaker 8: I bet it. Lets you beat them? Uh yes, whoopsie daisies.
• 38:14
  Speaker 5: And then game two wasn't a whole lot better. They
• 38:17
  Speaker 5: scored two runs in the second game something like that. Yeah,
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: what do you think, Lady Kane? Yep, all right, we'll
• 38:26
  Speaker 5: be back right here on off the.

  Speaker 5: A L A Group dot com. All right, one of
• 41:18
  Speaker 5: my my favorite quarterbacks in the NFL, mister Matthew Stafford
• 41:24
  Speaker 5: signs a one year extension with the Rams. Wander guess
• 41:31
  Speaker 5: how many millions.
• 41:32
  Speaker 7: For matt Stafford?
• 41:34
  Speaker 8: One year?
• 41:34
  Speaker 7: One year? Okay, so what was Eron's.
• 41:39
  Speaker 5: Don't even know what Erons wasn't. I mean, I'm sure
• 41:43
  Speaker 5: it wasn't.
• 41:44
  Speaker 8: Like crazy Stafford is gonna be more like thirty Taylor knows,
• 41:48
  Speaker 8: I'm not gonna ask. Yeah, fifty million.
• 41:52
  Speaker 7: Oh I did say fifty five.
• 41:53
  Speaker 6: Maybe I said fifty five subconsciously new nice work.
• 41:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, fifty five million dollars, which is, you know,
• 42:00
  Speaker 5: it's a lot of money, and it could be up
• 42:01
  Speaker 5: to sixty within within centives. But I mean that's pretty
• 42:05
  Speaker 5: much been Matthew Stafford's going rate for uh quite some time.
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: But Ty Simpson punch in the air, but no, Arthur fist.
• 42:17
  Speaker 5: I keep thinking about like the Rams taking Ty Simpson
• 42:22
  Speaker 5: and it was thirteen, right, thirteen overall? Could they've gotten
• 42:28
  Speaker 5: him in the second round? You think you think you
• 42:29
  Speaker 5: would have made it out?
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: Maybe there's always I mean, I think the better thing
• 42:34
  Speaker 4: to do would have been a trade back and get him. Yeah,
• 42:37
  Speaker 4: if you spots, you love a trade, so you'd have
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: been all for that.
• 42:40
  Speaker 5: But yeah, I think about the draft too, like, I
• 42:43
  Speaker 5: don't know how many people were willing to come up
• 42:46
  Speaker 5: to thirteen. You gotta you gotta have two to tango,
• 42:48
  Speaker 5: certainly on those trades. And it's easy to say Le's
• 42:51
  Speaker 5: trade back. I certainly said it a lot, but you
• 42:53
  Speaker 5: do have to have a trade a willing trade partner
• 42:55
  Speaker 5: for that.
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: I think you would have had to have got to twenty.
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: Not saying Pittsburgh would have taken him, but they were
• 43:03
  Speaker 4: in twenty one and that was the team everybody thought.
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: So could you've went from thirteen to twenty and taken him? Maybe?
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: But I didn't hate it as much as most people,
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: only because I think the RAMS rosters so complete that
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: like anybody you get in the first round, yeah, they'll
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: help you. But I mean, if you're looking for long
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: term and you think you're ready to win now.
• 43:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, So that's that's kind of That's kind of what
• 43:28
  Speaker 5: my point to this was is they're clearly in a
• 43:31
  Speaker 5: win now mode and they have been with Stafford, like
• 43:34
  Speaker 5: he's year to year. Obviously just signed a one year
• 43:37
  Speaker 5: contract just with his age, like you don't know how
• 43:39
  Speaker 5: long he's gonna play. You know, seemingly he could play
• 43:42
  Speaker 5: for a couple of more years after this one because
• 43:45
  Speaker 5: you look with Brady did look what Aaron Rodgers is doing.
• 43:49
  Speaker 5: But at what, at what level can he play his game? No,
• 43:52
  Speaker 5: he's got arm talent. Arm talent doesn't really leave you.
• 43:54
  Speaker 5: It's the mobility, it's the quickness, It's that type of
• 43:58
  Speaker 5: deal that leaves you. The arm talent doesn't really leave
• 44:01
  Speaker 5: you if you stick with it. You don't like take
• 44:04
  Speaker 5: a couple of years off, you could say a couple
• 44:06
  Speaker 5: of years off of anything anything goes now, but the
• 44:08
  Speaker 5: arm talent's always going to be there. But they are
• 44:12
  Speaker 5: certainly in a win They proved that they're in a
• 44:14
  Speaker 5: win now mode. They traded for corner Trum McDuffie for
• 44:16
  Speaker 5: the Chiefs for like a massive package, so like they're
• 44:19
  Speaker 5: giving up a lot of things to get and secure
• 44:22
  Speaker 5: one of their corners, one of their sides of the
• 44:24
  Speaker 5: field on defense.
• 44:26
  Speaker 8: So it is a little bit.
• 44:29
  Speaker 5: I thought it confusing a little bit at thirteen to
• 44:32
  Speaker 5: take the incumbent quarterback potential that you don't really know
• 44:36
  Speaker 5: with being such in a win now mode, I thought
• 44:38
  Speaker 5: they would have probably gone somewhere that could have immediate
• 44:41
  Speaker 5: more immediately impacted them on the field. But you know what,
• 44:45
  Speaker 5: they do have that safety blanket. They're planning obviously for
• 44:50
  Speaker 5: the future departure, And yeah, I just found it found
• 44:54
  Speaker 5: it a little interesting that they were in a win
• 44:56
  Speaker 5: now mode and they probably overdraft did for him when
• 45:01
  Speaker 5: they probably could have at least traded back a little bit. Yeah,
• 45:06
  Speaker 5: I would have liked to see them take something because
• 45:08
  Speaker 5: I'm a fan. I'm not a fan of the Rams
• 45:09
  Speaker 5: by any means, but I'm a fan of Stafford and
• 45:11
  Speaker 5: I'm a frian of I'm a fan just like I
• 45:13
  Speaker 5: hope everybody that is a football fan out there. I
• 45:16
  Speaker 5: know we are, you know, the majority of us listening
• 45:18
  Speaker 5: Inner Saints fans in the NFL. But I hope that
• 45:21
  Speaker 5: everybody like me can appreciate greatness when you see it,
• 45:25
  Speaker 5: and certainly I can. I appreciate the way Matthew Stafford plays,
• 45:28
  Speaker 5: but also the way Sean McVay builds an offense. Who
• 45:32
  Speaker 5: would have thought if you would have told me ten
• 45:34
  Speaker 5: years ago that one of the top offenses in the NFL.
• 45:38
  Speaker 5: They're number one personnel group was thirteen personnel. I would
• 45:42
  Speaker 5: have called you a liar, right, So what they've been
• 45:45
  Speaker 5: able to do a little bit unconventional has been super impressive.
• 45:50
  Speaker 8: And Elidra, yes, sorry, I just.
• 45:55
  Speaker 5: Got really startled. You made her spill a drink.
• 46:02
  Speaker 7: No, it was already spilled.
• 46:03
  Speaker 6: So I was about to get up to get something
• 46:05
  Speaker 6: because I'm.
• 46:06
  Speaker 5: Currently looking at on your phone. That made you start
• 46:10
  Speaker 5: like usually somebody is like looking at something a little suspicious.
• 46:13
  Speaker 7: I was trying to get up. Oh boy, and you
• 46:17
  Speaker 7: call my name, so I was like, what wait, what
• 46:19
  Speaker 7: were you gonna say?
• 46:20
  Speaker 8: What's thirteen personnel?
• 46:22
  Speaker 7: One running back? Three tight ends?
• 46:24
  Speaker 8: I'm a receiver. Yes, awesome job. Nice work everybody that's
• 46:29
  Speaker 8: thirteen person.
• 46:29
  Speaker 5: Under pressure because under a lot of pressure, and you
• 46:32
  Speaker 5: spilled stuff.
• 46:33
  Speaker 8: She was literally.
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: Feeling the with the coffee running into her.
• 46:37
  Speaker 8: Alright, stick with us, stick with us.
• 46:41
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 46:42
  Speaker 5: It's the weekend, Memorial Day, Monday. Well you know what
• 46:46
  Speaker 5: time that is. You got to get to the grocery store.
• 46:48
  Speaker 5: You got to load up on the ground beef, the glizzies,
• 46:52
  Speaker 5: the chips, the dips, everything, they got it all over
• 46:55
  Speaker 5: there at Rouse's Market, your local Rouse's Market. Obviously incredible,
• 47:00
  Speaker 5: an amazing Louisiana company, Worn and Bread right here in
• 47:04
  Speaker 5: South Louisiana. Grocery stores all over the Gulf South from
• 47:07
  Speaker 5: Lake Charles all the way to Florida. My goodness, they
• 47:11
  Speaker 5: are quite impressive. So if you are getting ready for
• 47:14
  Speaker 5: that backyard barbecue, getting ready for a little family gathering,
• 47:17
  Speaker 5: a little party, whatever it is, you can go get
