lost the hour so you should be fully rested.
Speaker 2: No, that's you know what that ain't true. Still dark out.
Speaker 5: Anyways, it was a weekend full of losing things, including
an hour, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: And I didn't. I for completely forgot about it. I didn't.
Speaker 5: I was like, man, why are my kids sleeping so
late today, which they don't sleep late. They slept till eight,
and I was like, man, this is weird for them.
They get the thermometer out.
Speaker 2: Nope.
Speaker 5: Then I realized and I went to the kitchen and
I looked at the oven and the clock was clock
was wrong.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So that's how I figured it out. And I remember
you you actually told us that you broke news to
me last week that it was it was coming.
Speaker 2: I did.
Speaker 5: Then I texted Lacey, she was on the Little Girls trip,
and I was like, hey, times changed. She was like, really,

not not a great weekend sports wise. Let's let's do
this because I know the next segment is going to
be a lot about losing a lot of a lot
of l's for the Tigers and a lot of sports.
So let's talk about maybe some good things before we
do that. Like one positive thing, uh from the weekend.
Oh wow, I had a fantastic weekend.
Speaker 5: Besides like watching and reading and hearing about LSU athletics
this weekend. Uhait fantastic week It was a weekend full
of just hanging out with the kids, a lot of
playing outside until the rains came. We did a lot
of outside stuff though Too's that my second born she

Speaker 2: Friday, we're gonna we're gonna join the softball team.
Speaker 5: Yes, Friday, Friday, first game Saturday morning, Town lace out
of Town's right. So first game Saturday morning, eleven thirty
three for three A big deal, not a big deal.
Speaker 7: Where they where they got her in the field.
Speaker 5: I mean, granted, if you hit the ball, you get
on base right pretty much three hits.
Speaker 2: No coaches pitch, it's coach pitch.
Speaker 5: But like if you hit it with any thump, there's
not many completed throws out there. So if you hit
it to the left side, the gets a lot of
a lot of airs. Yeah, if you hit it to
the pitcher or the right side of the field, you
got a chance of getting out. But if you pull it,
your pull hit her, yeah, which apparently she is third
dump swinging.
Speaker 3: About power Yeah, powering about she killed.
Speaker 2: It, crushed it, had a great time on the Ruby,
the Ruby Rockets.
Speaker 3: That's a great name.
Speaker 5: Okay, not to be confused with red No, nope, Ruby Ruby,
Rubby Rockets. I know I had to think about it
every time. I was like, let's go Ruby Rockets.
Speaker 2: So we're crushing it.
Speaker 5: Good, let's see, okayse first baseball.
Speaker 2: Game, good, it's good. All good. Yeah.
Speaker 5: A lot of again, a lot of playing outside, yeah,
a lot outside times.

Sunday not as much. Yeah, you know, drove to drove
to Zachary, had to be there for eight So left
the house of like seven fifteen as soon as we
pull into the Zachary parking lot because I don't live
close to Zachary. I live like as far away as
you possibly can sure, and they say game is gonna
be pushed back to eleven in the parking lot of
eight games. Okay, well two hours, got to find something
to do. There's a waffle house in Zachary. We'll go
hang out, about to make that move. And then at
eight thirty they're like, no, actually everything's canceled. So sounds
exhausting we're in the car for a while. No baseball.
Speaker 5: Sounds exhausting. Yeah, I'm really good with our just our
healing place.
Speaker 2: League.
Speaker 5: Got to practice, got a game, that's about it, same
place every week.
Speaker 4: Memus was in Port Allen Hudson was in Zachary. Yeah,

Speaker 3: So Friday, I dropped the puck at.
Speaker 2: The right before Marler, before first.
Speaker 6: Right, they had me and Brittany do it, warm the
crowd up before they had Chris do it. I heard
he got booed when he was out there. I got
a bunch of woos.
Speaker 2: I don't know, not a big deal.
Speaker 6: Yeah, this pollen is trying to it's trying to take
me out, but I'm not letting it. So if you
see me wiping tears over here, I'm not crying because baseball.
Speaker 3: It's just like this. I won't stop watering.
Speaker 2: I got you like a poodle.
Speaker 6: Oh absolutely, you beat anything. Yeah I can. Yeah, that's
why Paullen ain't got nothing on me.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Also, if y'all remember.
Speaker 6: Matt got back on his shout hill like he's dying
on the shout and because you know, Cassie was going
to a wedding on Friday. She texted us, No Shout
was played at the wedding on Friday, she.
Speaker 2: Said, within the first hour.
Speaker 3: I think she would have texted us and said, hey, Shout.
Speaker 8: You flipped me on Friday, though you did, I was,
I was with these two. Well, it was actually something
Mooso brought up. I just walked out of the building
and then Funn was fired up about it. Told me
also to the Bait, and Musso pointed out top five
wedding movie of all time, wedding Crashers.
Speaker 3: It's a remontage, it's a remix.
Speaker 7: It's shell though I got.
Speaker 5: Up on air last week on Friday and they had nothing.
Speaker 2: I got remix bs like argument, they had.
Speaker 5: Terrible she does like she said in the first hour,
and like, yeah, that's not the first was played.
Speaker 4: It's not a closer, definitely not a closer, middle reliever
of mess.
Speaker 5: It's not the final song. It's like the it's like
the peak. It's like when the movie peaks. It builds up,
it builds up boom, and then you got then then
it closes out afterwards.
Speaker 2: It's the it's the peak. We don't need to get
back into it because.
Speaker 4: Now we don't know. We don't We definitely don't know. Uh, Taylor,
how's the weekend?
Speaker 7: It was good.
Speaker 8: I didn't have to uh got canceled baseball games or
fighting me polland but uh, guys, I feel like I could.
Speaker 7: I'm a delivery room nurse.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 7: I learned so much about babies on Saturday.
Speaker 2: Good for you.
Speaker 8: We got there at a woman's hospital at like eight thirty. Yep,
wasn't done till one o'clock in the afternoon. I mean
we had a full one.
Speaker 2: That's a biggie. Oh yeah, what did you go for?
Speaker 3: That's a full day of score babies.
Speaker 8: If I could, if I knew the name of it,
I would tell you like a learning no, because we
didn't have to like taking glasses think of like, no, we.
Speaker 7: Didn't do any of that.
Speaker 8: Okay, the movies kind of like a baby seminaries. No, okay,
pregnancy belly though.
Speaker 2: I mean, one thing you know about babies now that
you didn't on Friday.
Speaker 8: Every baby is different. I didn't know that not all
of them are the same. There's the playbook for this thing.
Speaker 2: On Friday, I told you that a lot of a lot.
Speaker 8: Of brochures, big brochure people over there, okay, said take
our brochures, skin our QR code.
Speaker 7: You can learn even more.
Speaker 2: I mean that was you can learn even more.
Speaker 7: That was that was thrown at me a lot Saturday.
Speaker 5: Is there anything more overrated than a brochure? My brochure
is trash?
Speaker 7: Yeah, does anybody read them?
Speaker 2: Immediately? Things go immediately go in the trash. So I'm
guessing my height doesn't pass those out.
Speaker 5: We have we have a product info page, but it's
like it's not like we it's very specific people we
give it to. But yeah, we do, and I'm sure
it goes in the trash. But you gotta have it
because one out of fifty people is gonna look at it,
and you just gotta get that one.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Did y'all flood this weekend? Wo My street flooded.
Speaker 4: Our late in the back in the backyard came up
about as high as it ever has.
Speaker 6: I was like a knee deep water Saturday night. Yeah,
trying to move cars.
Speaker 2: While we were passing to the game that was going
to like.
Speaker 6: Knocking, baying on my neighbor's door, move your car around.
Speaker 4: Your like we so we passed walk on the original
walk On, so Thating goes, that's walk On's Lake because
it was that bad. And then as we got closer
to where you live, I was like, oh this is
real bad.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So like getting closer to where you live, I was like,
there's no way we're playing baseball. So I can imagine
you had.
Speaker 8: We apparently think came out yesterday. A lot of people
have trouble getting to the game. Like if you're watching
the game yesterday game.
Speaker 2: Baseball team did as well.
Speaker 8: They were there either they were flooded in also, but
for really, I mean the front of my street flooded.
But like where we're at, we have like three entrances
until I get to my house.
Speaker 6: Guy.
Speaker 7: One of them is called three entrances to.
Speaker 8: One of them, the entrance is by an autos and
the other side walker the other split splits of you
got McDonald's on one side, of Burger King on the other,
and then the others by the high school, the entrances.
Speaker 6: In the neighborhood. Because he has a burger king in
the McDonald's right there.
Speaker 7: That's that's the further like entrance.
Speaker 4: All right, well, it's nice you're going down the walking
path to the.
Speaker 5: Auto it is this walking area thing, so weird, weird,
dead giveaway.
Speaker 7: All right, Well, the path that we use our golf
carts on, that.
Speaker 4: Was the good stuff? Was it better than what we're
gonna talk about when we come back.
Speaker 2: What happened? I'll tell you on the other side, I'm
not ready. O TV off the bench, all right.

Speaker 2: Swimming through the Hearing.
Speaker 4: All right, welcome back in oh t B here live
from the Raizy Kaine studio.
Speaker 2: H Unfortunately, you gotta go ahead and get it started.
Speaker 1: It's time to get glowing courtesy of go flow ivy
spa where hydration, vitamins and a summer ready glow are
always on tap. Now for starters.
Speaker 4: All right, well, we are excited about go flow iv
dot com. Go flow iv dot com, g e a
u x flow I. That's the good part of getting
it started, because well, if you're feeling a little under
the weather, if you want to maybe get a little
bit more hydrated. Maybe you just want a little more
pep in your step. You go see them over at
go flowiv dot com. If you're in Baton Rouge, go
see them off at Jefferson Highway today, go flowiv dot com.
Speaker 5: That's right, Being healthy makes me happy. That's exactly what's
going to happen over a go flow. So you know
a little lack of sunshine, a lot of losses this weekend,
Well get a little happy back. Go get you an
IV infused with all the vitamins, all the good stuff.
Go flow IV right there, Jefferson Highway. Go sit you
up a membership, be in and out your first time
in about thirty forty five minutes. They make the process really
really easy, and like seriously.
Speaker 2: Promise you you're.
Speaker 5: Gonna feel better immediately to go check it out, Go
get hydrated, go get vitamized.
Speaker 2: Right there, go float IV all.
Speaker 4: Right, go ahead, rip the band aid off. Not a
banner weekend for your LSU fighting Tigers baseball losers just
like one sport though, right, No oh, no new news too.
You're ready three now you need to sit down for
this one. Baseball loses two of three to Sacramento.
Speaker 2: State.
Speaker 4: Men's basketball loses a hard fought battle multiple overtime against
Texas A and M. Women's basketball loses again to South
Carolina for the nineteenth straight time. Softball gets swept by
number one Tennessee. Gymnastics loses on the road against number
four Florida.
Speaker 2: You done outside of that, miss Lincoln, how is the play?
Speaker 5: I would say LSU gymnastics is probably the one positive
takeaway from this this weekend.
Speaker 4: Even Beach volleyball lost two of three. I Fro'm not mistaken. No,
they lost three of four. Actually they lost to number
one Stanford, actually close. They lost a number ten col
They beat number eighteen to Washington and lost to number
three USC.
Speaker 7: I mean, that's a tough weekend.
Speaker 5: That's about as I mean when it comes to LSU athletics,
that's as bad as it ever gets.
Speaker 2: That's as bad as I can ever win.
Speaker 4: Baseball scratching one win saved an o for basically, and
Beach volleyball got one winning four matches.
Speaker 5: You get, we did get that one win versus the Hornets.
So we're gonna start with baseball.
Speaker 4: That's obviously that's the biggie here because look for women's
basketball coach Maulkey.
Speaker 2: She told us, she tells us.
Speaker 4: Every single year the SEC tournament and the goal, and look,
did they want to beat South Carolina?
Speaker 2: Absolutely they did.
Speaker 4: It's another hard fault battle against that team and they
can't figure them out. And they got to cut that
because they got the NCAA tournament coming up. For men's basketball,
you don't expect to lie. It was a good fight
against a much better team. You brought him to multiple overtime.
You couldn't find a way. Even beach volleyball, you played
really good teams. Every team you played was ranked. Softball
played the number one team in the country on the road.
So like those things, I don't want to say they're expected,
but you can handle those.
Speaker 2: You can make it make sense for those.
Speaker 4: For baseball, you can't because they played a bad baseball team,
at least as far as the record now.
Speaker 2: They were scrappy.
Speaker 4: They fought after getting their butts kicked on Friday, fifteen
to four, they came back and they beat LSU five
to four on Saturday and six to one last night.
Baseball's got some trouble. Baseball's got some issues. When you
lost to let's go back when you lost to McNeice
and you lost to Northeastern, It's like, Okay, we've seen
this happen before, and you go win national championships. In fact,
the last two, like we brought it up like this
is a very similar loss. That's a very similar loss. Okay.
But after you lost that game to Northeastern on Monday
of last week, Okay, then you go on the road
and you lose against Louisiana Lafayette. Even that I'm like, okay,
well it's too much improved baseball team.
Speaker 2: You go on the road.
Speaker 4: Okay, we're starting to get into some territory I don't like,
but okay, it'd be all right. Then you get Friday
and you're like, Okay, this is the team that I'm
ready to see. But you can't make excuses for Saturday
and Sunday. Those losses are concerning, and you're to a
point now where you know tough questions are going to
be asked.
Speaker 5: I think we've I think everybody's been just because of
the history and we trust Jay Johnson, you know, obviously.
Speaker 2: Be on a shadow of a doubt.
Speaker 5: Like I think we've been tiptoeing through the last couple
of weeks like, all right, it's not not time yet.
Speaker 2: It's not time yet, it's not time yet.
Speaker 5: Well, I think it's probably pretty it's time like to
not hit a panic button, but to be actually concerned
and worried.
Speaker 2: And I don't think.
Speaker 5: Anybody is like tuning in to hear like my like
breakdown of x's and o's on on baseball. But I
can tell you what I what I don't see from
this team currently is fight when your backs against the wall.
I hadn't seen anybody when a game is on a
line put to try to put a team on his
back and make a play. And I know that's I
know every sport is different in how that looks and
what that looks like. But when a play is there
to be made, when the situation arises, when a batter
comes up to bat and you got guys are running
and scoring position. The lack of fight that we are
seeing from these team in close games, in winnable games,
and the lack of a guy that's stepping up and
trying to and winning a game. I know everyone's trying,
but executing when your back is against the wall is concerning.
And when you're LSU defending national champions and you've lost
four of the last five non conference games against small schools.
That is a concern.
Speaker 4: Yea, we get had, you know for sacrament Of State
a really bad record, Northeastern really win teams.
Speaker 5: I think Sacramento State have been swept by every team
that was.
Speaker 2: They have two wins coming into the weekend. Three Oh sorry,
they have been swept at least I mean they've been
swept at least two or three weekends.
Speaker 5: Yeah, coming into this and they come into your house
and they win the series.
Speaker 2: It's inexcusable. And like we can make all.
Speaker 5: The excuses we want to say, Well, they're figuring out,
they're figuring out how to play, they're figure out how
to play together. It's early and the blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah, Like I don't care, Like you
don't lose that series, right, and and I know I
get it, Like I'm not the baseball guy, but like
I'm watching that and I see guys that aren't ready
to step up into the into the light, into the
limelight and take to put the team on their back
and make the play when the game matters. Who's the leader, Yeah,
who's driving these guys. I don't know, I haven't seen
it yet. Sure, you get some good pitch of performances
here and there. Yeah, the bats get hot Friday, So
what next game next to bat? Whatever it is, it
just seems to that not something's not clicking, And it's
really frustrated for LSU fans because we do we do
give this team the benefit of the doubt, and they
have earned the benefit of the doubt. This program has
not this team, this program, this coach, the coaching staff,
some of the players on this team, they've.
Speaker 2: All earned the benefit of the doubt.
Speaker 5: Yeah, But with the LSU fans and you saw it,
you heard it last night from the fan like you
are losing that benefit of the doubt with every game
you go out and you lay a stinker. Somebody's got
to step up, and it can't be the coaches. Somebody's
got to step up on that team and other people
got to follow, make a play.
Speaker 2: Have a competitive ed bat.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I mean, my guy just looks like yeah, and it's
not just like.
Speaker 3: It was like watching literally.
Speaker 7: Did just in the back of no.
Speaker 6: No, wait real quick, sorry, this is the first time
since two thousand and seven that LSU is lost, has
five non conference losses before SEC play starts, so something
is very uncharacteristic about this team.
Speaker 2: I agree.
Speaker 4: Anytime you go back to when Flynn and I were
in school for Relashue baseball, it's not good because one
that was a long time ago, and two that wasn't
the golden age of LSU baseball when we were in school,
So all the above is bad.
Speaker 8: You were talking about like unenthusiastic at bats, Matt, remember
what usked Jay about, hey can we swing away on
three zero counts? It's not just that I watched so
many meatballs down the middle first pitch of the at bat.
Speaker 7: And they're standing there with the bat on their shoulder.
Speaker 8: They're standing there with the bat on their shoulder on
the second they get to an O two count like that,
because they're just like, Okay, I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna
feel this guy out and he's throwing seventy five right
across the plate and they just said like they don't care.
Speaker 2: I've watched it.
Speaker 5: I'm watching it, and it's like, I agree, Like when
you see those kind of bats, you're like on good
teams like sing there I got. I got super confident
that guy's about to about the explode. Then of course
you take these competitive swings and like you you want
these calm, cool and collective batters like in the pros
and like on your on your team, like because that
makes you feel good because they're about to do something
really cool. They're about to explode. They're about to whip
that bat around. But like it sees, they look calm,
cool and collective, but they just keep taking and then
when they swing, it's kind of like a super lazy swing.
Speaker 3: I like, I can't watch.
Speaker 6: I don't know, I like fish, wait, you cannot watch it.
Yesterday I watched Daniel Harden get out on ball.
Speaker 3: Four and I had to turn it off.
Speaker 6: I watched Zach York watch like three me balls thrown
his way, and I like, I was, I can't do this.
Speaker 5: I don't know how much strikes up sing Zach York like,
And they go hand in hand.
Speaker 8: Right, they're standing there watching the easy pitches the first two.
Speaker 7: They're almost half to swing.
Speaker 8: On that on that ball for at that point because
they're down two, and it's like like she mentioned, you
see them swinging on these pitches out of the zone.
Speaker 7: But early in the bat they're letting the ones run across.
Speaker 2: Some plate just go right by them. It's like that meme.
But they got with a stick do something.
Speaker 4: Yeah literally Yeah, only had nine hads over the last
two games of the series against the Sacramento State pitching
staff that had really struggled. And I agree with everything
that you said, Flynn, because as I'm watching the game,
I'm kind of writing down like twenty twenty three had
an incredible talented roster. We all know that one and
two pick in the draft, but it's like, where's the
k Beloso, Like twenty twenty five incredible? You know, draft
pick after draft pick, Like where's the Ethan Fry? Like,
where's that guy who's like the jump starter. The guy's
gonna get you going, I give you competitive at bat. Hey,
I'm gonna make it happen in the box. I'm gonna
get this start. Like last year, how many times did
Ethan Fry come up and we needed to play as
like leadoff, double right.
Speaker 2: I feel like every time he needed to do it,
he did it.
Speaker 5: And both those teams you're talking about lost either an
embarrassing game, lost an embarrassing series.
Speaker 2: Like last year they got ten run rules.
Speaker 5: You figure you learn things in losses, especially if baseball
happens like you learn the things were It just seems
like elis she's not learning anything from their losses.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it feels like they're not changing their approach out
to play at all.
Speaker 3: They're not.
Speaker 6: The defense we've talked about has been like a pretty
significant drop off from last season. And I am the
type to so baseball plays fifty six games in a season, right,
in a regular season, So I think that obviously you're
gonna be cold or you're gonna be hot in.
Speaker 3: Those fifty six games.
Speaker 6: So I don't want to say like LSU is done
for right, but it's hard for me to say anything
positive until they do something positive, you know, like right,
how about put the ball in play? Just put the
ball in play. You don't have to like drop a
bomb every single time. And that's exactly I told you
a Sacramento State, Let's see if the defense can keep
up with the small ball that they're going to play
in the situational hitting, that's really all you have to do.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and Sacramento State didn't play clean in the field either.
The last two games you lost, they had combined three
errors in those games.
Speaker 8: You go with Braden Simpson. The only reason that continues
is because there's a throwing air at the first base
on an easy routine play. Yes a hack York gets
safe and then a few batters later Blayden Simpson gets
the RBI. Like, without that, you probably get shut out yesterday.
That's a that's bad. Yeah, well and you could. You
could take lose of the series. Lose a series sucks,
but like, what's bad about this one? Everybody was begging
all week, like hit the ball, hit the ball, hit
the ball. You explored for fifteen runs on Friday. Now
you're like, hey, Jake Brown, three home runs, Like Jay said,
they could be in the back kids, They're gonna turn
this around and then boom right back to it Saturday
and Sunday.
Speaker 5: I mean, I hear what you say, but you can't
lose a series a Sacramento. You can drop a series
in general, but the way this you can't lose that series.
The way this series started, you're so excited, you're like, okay.
Speaker 2: You want to lose a game back.
Speaker 6: I was here and I was like, I believe we
can and will sweep Sacramento State Friday that was looking
really good. Yeah, and then Saturday and Sunday, like, oh
my god, it was physically.
Speaker 4: Was ill, isn't that weekend? In the SEC Florida Florida
almost got swept by high Point, Like they had to
come back and score high Point in Virginia they had
to score four, I believe in the ninth just to
avoid getting swept. Wright State took two or three from Tennessee.
Tennessee walked off Right State and their only win. Arkansas
lost the Stetson like weird week.
Speaker 3: In and Bandy also lost the series.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they lost somebody. There was a time losing, right,
it was the time. There was a time change.
Speaker 7: Schools don't do time changes.
Speaker 5: You know what, el She's fine, guys. I didn't even
put that together. We only lost because the time change.
About the losses before, they were good, before leading up
to it, they were getting they were nervous for it.
Speaker 7: It was a midweek. I didn't care.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I hate hearing that this past week. It doesn't matter, Jake.
Speaker 4: Hey, we played a game. We got an uniform and everything.
He same line up, but it doesn't really matter.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I think you said you said something earlier
Laundra It was like, you know it's not time, like
not gonna be worried too much because it is a
long season. But if you don't change the way you
attack a game, then you better be worried.
Speaker 3: It's gonna be a it's gonna be.
Speaker 2: A long season.
Speaker 5: If if that part that we discuss at the beginning
of this segment, if you don't find some people in
some leaders that are going to lead by example.
Speaker 6: Brown, I'm talking to you, take exactly, I'm talking to you.
Speaker 2: In the state Stanfield, we do.
Speaker 8: Talk about like the guys that come up with timely
at times. Jake Brown's that guy. It's just he's inconsistent
as well.
Speaker 5: Like, but it can't just be one guy, like it's
gotta be it's gotta be one guy that feeds everybody else.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And we've seen that a team in the midweek.
Speaker 8: It was like, oh, you're two guys at the leader,
Derek Curie old Jake Brown. They were five for seven. Yeah,
they scored zero runs because everybody else behind them was inconsistent.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know, like it's been a long time
since I've been in a dugout.
Speaker 2: With the spikes on.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but like when you started having airs on the field.
Who's that guy that people are a little scared of
when they come back to the dugout? Right, There's got
to be somebody that's just me, I know, football guy
gotta way to like somebody when they get it when
they have an error, they got to be nervous about
somebody or a group of people on that team. And
it can't just be the coach who those guys. We
gotta else. You gotta find those guys.
Speaker 6: It has to be somebody like Jake Brown. It has
to be somebody like Kate, Aaron Beattie, even Stephen mylm
like that.
Speaker 4: Those guys need to I know it's not his personality,
but it needs to be Big Brown for this team.
Speaker 5: He sees them coming in, Jake's like, hey, come see me,
locker them now.
Speaker 2: They talk in football, you don't even get that pleasantry
just like baseball's.
Speaker 4: You know, gentlemen there, Uh Vanderbilt. Let's go back to
February the twenty seventh. They lose to UC Irvine. The
next day they lose to Arizona. Those are two really
good baseball teams. They lose to Oregon, So three losses
in a row there, Really, those are good teams. Uh,
they also Central Arkansas, so they lost four in a row.
They beat Troy four to one, and then they did
actually win the weekend, but they lost one of the
games to North Dakota State. So they have what five
losses in their last eight games. So Vanderbilt kind of
limping into this series as well. Again, SEC did not
have a great weekend. It was a bad weekend.
Speaker 2: Hm. That makes you feel a little bit better. I
know a lot.
Speaker 4: I think Vandebils still can be better than Sacramento High Point,
High Point in Virginia.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they almost guys swept.
Speaker 3: Is Brandon Simpson from High Point?
Speaker 2: I think so.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: The only reason I know anything about High Points because
e J. Manuel's sister played basketball there.
Speaker 2: Shout out high Point.
Speaker 6: Texas is still very dominant and the like. That's the
only team in the SEC that didn't.
Speaker 3: They're playing really good.
Speaker 2: Base Texas at usc USC is fifteen and no.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so those teams have good players that are playing good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, we got to figure that out. We got
good players. They just gotta play good.
Speaker 3: Dylan Valantis is over here with like a point four
to nine. E r A say, it was pretty good.
Speaker 2: Strong to that like sex State.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all nine and three.
Speaker 4: Sex State too soon? Three and nine, I wish it
was nine and thirty makes feel a little bit better.
Still not great, but five and ten.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So you gotta travel after a midweek game against Creighton.
You gotta travel to Vanderbilt, a team also that is
not playing very good right now.
Speaker 2: And man, you need to find something.
Speaker 4: You gotta find And I agree, like that was gonna
be my criticism too, exactly what Flynn said, Like, you
gotta find the guy.
Speaker 2: You got to find some juice.
Speaker 4: You got to be competitive at the plate, you know,
you got to be competitive on the mound like Gavin
Gidgery had one walk coming into it and three walks
like immediately right, that's not being competitive on the mound.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 4: Is he a competitive person? Uh yeah, if you've ever
watched him. But there's different ways to be competitive. You've
got to give yourself an opportunity, give yourself a chance.
And just right now, Elsia baseball not doing that. All right,
we'll come back to baseball in a little bit. We'll
take a break now more OTB when we come back

seeing some black widows, multiple multiple black widows. Now I
know what their eggs look like. I got an eye
for it now, and I told Lacey. I was like, Babe,
they live here now with their family. So yeah, time
to go ahead and get on that. They live there
with their families and children and grandchildren.
Speaker 6: So, Matt, by the way, this weekend, I read that
if you kill coyotes, they just make more coyotes because
they control their own population.
Speaker 3: Okay, so when you're trying to get rid of them,
just keep that in mind.
Speaker 5: That makes it kill if there is none left, there
is none to make more.
Speaker 3: True, that's fair.
Speaker 7: I can't argue that you could even leave one.
Speaker 3: That's cruel.
Speaker 2: That's true.
Speaker 8: You could even leave one as long as it's see
well like it can't reproduced by itself.
Speaker 2: Kill long it's not already with child.
Speaker 8: Yeah you have Do you have to leave a maile?
Then make sure it's a mail mail just to be
safe safe sod. Yeah. So the how when we were
closing on our house, this was not our house. The
people who were selling us the house they had to
move to Kansas or something because they wanted to follow
their son. He had not graduating college, got a job
out there.
Speaker 7: They were retired, so they're like, we'll just follow him.
Speaker 8: So they move out there, and they were telling us
a close in the house that they had already like
agreed to buy apparently like in the attic was infested
by like brown recluse spiders. Yeah, and they wound up
not being able to buy it when past inspection.
Speaker 7: So they were like.
Speaker 2: Yeah because live.
Speaker 8: Yeah, They're like, we're gonna go live with our son
for a week. We're closing on a different house now.
They're like, we had one already.
Speaker 5: Ball, but I've never heard of a house failing inspection
because of it was apparently.
Speaker 8: It was apparently like that because like they had bought it.
Whoever did the original inspection didn't do a good job.
Another inspector came in right before closing, it was like,
you shouldn't buy this house, so they had to They
had to sell before they even moved in.
Speaker 7: M hm, so be careful.
Speaker 5: So we also had next to the black widowed spiders
brown forclusives as well. So your boy here just waged war.
I had no regard for life when it came to spiders, smashing, spraying, pension, poking,
pinching everything, poorn, hot water, didn't matter anyway to get
them dead.
Speaker 2: They're scar So I also have like this little propane
tank that has a torch.
Speaker 3: Don't you have a flamethrower.

the house. Yeah, I guess throw those flames, but like
the torches.

like to spell it.

by by You Automotive.
Speaker 4: All right, welcome back in OTB life from the Raising
Kine Studio again our Monday shows.
Speaker 2: Brought to you by by You Automotive.
Speaker 4: Fired up to have them on the squad, just like
the Houston Texans are fired up to keep at Ingram
on their squad. He will not be hitting a free agency.
He signs a three year, thirty seven and a half
million dollars deal to stay with the Houston Texans. He
would have been one of the top ranked interior offensive
linemen in free agency this year. As I said, like
the Saints certainly would have been interested in his services,
but Houston said, not so fast.
Speaker 2: My friend, you aren't going anywhere.
Speaker 4: Ed was a great player here at LSU's made a
really good career for himself in the National Football League
as well. So congratulations to Ed Ingram. Three years, thirty
seven and a half mere million dollars.
Speaker 5: Hey, if you think about it, thirty seven and a
half million dollars. He's saving about a million dollars in
state taxes.
Speaker 4: Right him, he is so like to begin his career
like he had some ups and downs with the Vikings,
like at one time he even got benched, and he
found his way to Houston. And he has certainly found
his way again. And he was I believe, his second
round pick in twenty twenty two and he did a
really nice shout twelfth lowest pressure rate among guards in
the NFL.
Speaker 2: So certainly revived his career there.
Speaker 4: He's appeared in sixty two games, fifty five starts in
the National Football League and he gets a big payday.
Speaker 2: So congratulations.
Speaker 4: Always enjoyed interviewing Ed always was gracious for his time there.
Speaker 5: So I think, like Saints fans people in Louisiana, like,
if you're looking for another team to like semi cheer for,
it's always at the Texans. Geographically speaking, they always have
LSU players there in the AFC like a bunch. It's
it's like a it's a no lose situation cheering for
the cheering for the Texans. Yeah, the Texans have given
former LSU players seventy seven point five million dollars over
the last week.
Speaker 2: So Texans Texans.
Speaker 4: All right, we'll take a break much more coming back
your way out number two, oh TB off the bench.
