0:53
Speaker 6: Wait out there set one little rundown store looking thing right.

Speaker 2: We were?
1:04
Speaker 6: We were through it by the time he said, we
1:07
Speaker 6: just went through Luke and Bach.
1:08
Speaker 2: We were dot right, it's just outside of Fredericksburg. But
1:12
Speaker 2: it's just a it's not a town like you would
1:15
Speaker 2: think if you've never been there, right right, It's just
1:19
Speaker 2: it was a concert venue and recording studio that these
1:22
Speaker 2: Texas country music artists would go to and play and record,
1:27
Speaker 2: and they came up with their own name. Yes, so
1:31
Speaker 2: it's it's actually a fun place to go.
1:34
Speaker 6: But yeah, yeah it is. You're better off going to
1:37
Speaker 6: green Hall.
1:38
Speaker 2: Oh well, I mean it's nowhere close.
1:39
Speaker 6: To Greenholl, But I'm just saying, but.
1:41
Speaker 2: If you're in in Kerrville area, I enjoyed Kurveville, okay,
1:47
Speaker 2: or Fredericksburg. Yeah, yeah, I enjoyed both of those places.
1:52
Speaker 6: Uh.
1:52
Speaker 2: We go to go to the museum over there, the
1:54
Speaker 2: Niemits Museum, go to go down to Luke and Bak.
1:57
Speaker 6: Yeah, Scott and Dusty here today for Chip Howard.
2:00
Speaker 2: To go ahead. Oh my gosh.
2:03
Speaker 6: I went to Curveville for softball tournament and my aunt
2:09
Speaker 6: I messaged her.
2:10
Speaker 2: I met fredericks Burg, but yeah, no, I curve Curvefield
2:13
Speaker 2: as well.
2:14
Speaker 6: I was like, because they're they're big into wine and
2:18
Speaker 6: I was like have They were like, oh, we've been
2:21
Speaker 6: to all of them. I was like, you didn't do
2:24
Speaker 6: that on one tip. No, but they did it like
2:26
Speaker 6: over five years.
2:27
Speaker 2: Okay.
2:28
Speaker 6: So anyway, okay, college athletic dollars and cents.
2:34
Speaker 2: So yeah, there were some discussions online about money and
2:39
Speaker 2: Carter Correl's it's one at two pour seven for A
2:42
Speaker 2: and M put out and someone else may have put
2:45
Speaker 2: it out too, but I saw it from him. Okay.
2:47
Speaker 7: Uh.
2:49
Speaker 2: Revenues and expenses for A and M sports Okay, Uh
2:54
Speaker 2: for twenty twenty five fiscal years. So that's the last
2:58
Speaker 2: not not included this fall. That that was last spring fall. Okay, Okay.
3:04
Speaker 2: The biggest net revenue net expense didn't surprise me at
3:12
Speaker 2: women's basketball at five point six million negative significantly, almost
3:17
Speaker 2: two million more than the next biggest deficit, which was
3:21
Speaker 2: women's track at three point eight million. Okay, but here's
3:26
Speaker 2: a number that shocked me. What what women's sport at
3:29
Speaker 2: A and M do you think generated the most revenue?
3:33
Speaker 6: So not not looking at the expenses.
3:35
Speaker 2: But just just the most revenue. Okay. So, and I'll
3:39
Speaker 2: give you a hint that it's not soccer because I
3:41
Speaker 2: thought I thought I was gonna say soccer. I would
3:43
Speaker 2: have thought soccer was there. Soccer is is pretty good
3:48
Speaker 2: at two point six million generated revenue and one point
3:52
Speaker 2: nine as a net expense to the athletic department. They
3:56
Speaker 2: are men's basketball and football make money, so we're taking
4:01
Speaker 2: those out in soccer net wise, is only men's and
4:07
Speaker 2: women's golf don't don't lose more to of the athletic
4:10
Speaker 2: departments money than soccer. All right, so my kids, it
4:15
Speaker 2: wasn't soccer.
4:16
Speaker 6: Well, I am going to guess Aggie softball not even close.
4:21
Speaker 2: What was the revenue on Aggie softball in twenty twenty five?
4:25
Speaker 2: The revenue is eight hundred and twelve thousand dollars. Now
4:28
Speaker 2: it's going to jump up because the ticket price is
4:30
Speaker 2: jumped up again this year. Okay, it's completely sold out,
4:34
Speaker 2: so our reserve tickets are so you know, why not
4:38
Speaker 2: jack them up another between fifty and two hundred and
4:41
Speaker 2: fifty percent, depending on what section you're in.
4:43
Speaker 6: Well, if you want to go to Davis Diamond and
4:45
Speaker 6: you will cheer for the Bryant Bulldogs this next week,
4:49
Speaker 6: non A and M games are free are free, so
4:52
Speaker 6: when they play Texas Tech Sunday, afternoon at noon, the
4:58
Speaker 6: Texas Tech Red Breader. People should be forced to pay
5:01
Speaker 6: because they have money to buy anything.
5:04
Speaker 2: Look, if you want to go to an A and
5:06
Speaker 2: M softball game, it's not it's not expensive for for
5:09
Speaker 2: general admissions. No, it's ten dollars. So it's you can
5:13
Speaker 2: get it, Okay. So it's not tennis it is. No,
5:18
Speaker 2: it's not women's tennis. No, it's not some somehow I'm
5:23
Speaker 2: just look, I'm just reading the report. You're just there's
5:26
Speaker 2: some numbers. They're black and white. They're right there, back
5:28
Speaker 2: and white women's tennis. And I can't figure out how
5:31
Speaker 2: it's even possible that they generated two point seven million
5:36
Speaker 2: dollars in revenue.
5:37
Speaker 6: That club works good, and they're good. They're second rank
5:40
Speaker 6: in the country.
5:40
Speaker 2: I understand, But I've been to many tennis matches and
5:45
Speaker 2: I don't understand. This has to be some sponsorship, some something,
5:49
Speaker 2: some a club. I mean, it's not. It's not ticket revenue.
5:54
Speaker 2: It can't be. But a good job for coach Weaver. Yep,
6:00
Speaker 2: two point seven million dollars. You know, they spent four
6:03
Speaker 2: point eight So that's okay, But that was in route
6:07
Speaker 2: to a national championship. Now I was a runner up finish.
6:10
Speaker 2: You're right.
6:11
Speaker 6: They lost to Georgia the year before they were national
6:14
Speaker 6: champions that's right. And that was in Waco, and the
6:20
Speaker 6: year before was in Tulsa, I mean, Oklahoma City. So
6:22
Speaker 6: you're not even spending a whole bunch of money to
6:24
Speaker 6: go to the national championships.
6:26
Speaker 2: So the reason the reason I want to talk about
6:28
Speaker 2: these numbers is because I'm looking at them, all right,
6:31
Speaker 2: and look everyone, let me. I'll just throw this out there.
6:35
Speaker 2: Everyone thinks, because baseball generates a lot of revenue that
6:38
Speaker 2: it's a money maker for a and m not even close.
6:43
Speaker 2: In fact, it's closer in the net rankings to softball
6:46
Speaker 2: than anything else in loss okay, because while they generate
6:52
Speaker 2: five point seven five million dollars, they spend nine. Well,
6:58
Speaker 2: so you got to spend a lot of money too, right,
7:01
Speaker 2: They spent a lot of money. So it's it's not
7:03
Speaker 2: going to make money. But when you look at the
7:05
Speaker 2: men's sports, the three men's sports that get revenue sharing, football,
7:08
Speaker 2: men's basketball, baseball, those are the three biggest revenue generators.
7:12
Speaker 6: Well, you didn't say how much football made and how
7:14
Speaker 6: much basketball made.
7:15
Speaker 2: Basketball made over a one point four million, Okay, and
7:22
Speaker 2: this football number is iffy to me, but forty eight
7:26
Speaker 2: million is what they report. Okay, other schools change the
7:31
Speaker 2: numbers a little bit when you so, it's kind of
7:33
Speaker 2: hard to compare school to school. But since A and
7:37
Speaker 2: M's doing it the same way, it's easy to compare
7:40
Speaker 2: sports to sport. Right in terms of and how much
7:44
Speaker 2: football spent sixty million? So football lost twelve million dollars? No, no, no, no,
7:50
Speaker 2: the revenue was one hundred and.
7:51
Speaker 6: Eight Okay, that's what I wanted to hear. Yeah, revenue
7:54
Speaker 6: was one hundred eight one hundred and eight million dollars.
7:56
Speaker 2: Men's basketball was fifteen million, Baseball was five point sellion. Okay,
8:01
Speaker 2: So but those are the three revenue sports. Makes total
8:04
Speaker 2: sense looking at the numbers. Yes, When I look at
8:07
Speaker 2: the numbers on this and I realized the three women's
8:11
Speaker 2: sports that give revenue share too are women's basketball, softball,
8:15
Speaker 2: and volleyball. And I look and go, okay, so you're
8:19
Speaker 2: losing five point six million in volleyball. You got revenue
8:24
Speaker 2: share this year. It doesn't seem to have impacted the
8:27
Speaker 2: level of player you could get in. So you're you're
8:29
Speaker 2: nil's not if your nil's not high to such a
8:33
Speaker 2: level that it's impacting the game.
8:35
Speaker 7: And I.
8:37
Speaker 2: I think if you look across the SEC, you don't
8:41
Speaker 2: have to look across the rest of college basketball, because
8:44
Speaker 2: it's going to be kind of the same thing, except
8:46
Speaker 2: you're going to have pods of have nots that all
8:49
Speaker 2: play each other. But the SEC definitely has a divide
8:52
Speaker 2: of halbs and have knots in terms of nil. So
8:57
Speaker 2: if you're not getting anything to put yourself in the
8:59
Speaker 2: half category, why not just completely have not and give
9:04
Speaker 2: that money to soccer. I'm just throwing that out there.
9:07
Speaker 2: So here's my question. Kansas Kansas be the only school
9:12
Speaker 2: that didn't have women's basketball in IL revenue share?
9:14
Speaker 6: Probably, but is Kansas giving more to basketball than any
9:20
Speaker 6: other team?
9:21
Speaker 2: In Kansas and Houston?
9:24
Speaker 6: Are they giving basketball men's basketball more revenue share than
9:29
Speaker 6: any other team in the Big Twelve? I would think so, Okay, okay,
9:36
Speaker 6: Kentucky is probably giving more basketball revenue share than any
9:42
Speaker 6: other team in the SEC.
9:44
Speaker 2: Maybe yeah, maybe, okay.
9:47
Speaker 6: Arkansas may be another team that does the same kind
9:50
Speaker 6: of thing because the importance of some sports at some
9:55
Speaker 6: places lead to more revenue share.
9:59
Speaker 2: That I understand, and they're not just those schools are
10:02
Speaker 2: not just completely depending on revenue share to drive those sports, No,
10:07
Speaker 2: because they have outside.
10:09
Speaker 6: But if it's a million dollars to get a power
10:11
Speaker 6: forward and I've got it, and you've spent that money
10:15
Speaker 6: on a football defensive back, maybe I'm getting one. Then
10:20
Speaker 6: you spent smart money, then maybe I'm getting one. I'm
10:25
Speaker 6: beating you twice because I have this kid. So I mean,
10:29
Speaker 6: I see what you're saying. Are you going to invest
10:33
Speaker 6: in a sport and make it your own by giving
10:36
Speaker 6: a little more revenue share?
10:38
Speaker 2: Because I'm not sure if you could probably be a
10:40
Speaker 2: have not in soccer a heck of a lot cheaper
10:43
Speaker 2: than you could be a have not in women's basketball,
10:47
Speaker 2: I have Yes, you could get there faster, just like
10:52
Speaker 2: you could get there faster in softball. Now, I think
10:54
Speaker 2: softball Texas Tech broke the market. Yeah, Oklahoma broke the market,
11:00
Speaker 2: and I think it drove up some of those costs
11:02
Speaker 2: across the country.
11:04
Speaker 6: You mean, like Duke football did last year with what
11:06
Speaker 6: they paid their quarterback. That's not their quarterback anymore, because
11:10
Speaker 6: before he left to Lane to go to Duke, the
11:13
Speaker 6: going price was two point two million dollars for a
11:16
Speaker 6: starting quarterback and long and behold. He went for four,
11:20
Speaker 6: and then Miami said, well, if we're gonna get Gunner
11:22
Speaker 6: stocked in, we better are not Gunner stockedon. He's the
11:26
Speaker 6: one who stayed. If we're gonna get Carson Beck, now
11:29
Speaker 6: we have to give four. So you can have people
11:32
Speaker 6: that break the market every year.
11:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think it's different. I think it's different
11:38
Speaker 2: in football than it is a don revenue sports, right,
11:41
Speaker 2: because ten thousand dollars used to used to get you
11:44
Speaker 2: a pretty good softball player. Yeah, and now ten times
11:50
Speaker 2: that Tech goes up pays a million for the best
11:56
Speaker 2: softball player in the game. I mean, let's be honest.
11:58
Speaker 6: Second, the best no Nebraska had a girl come back
12:03
Speaker 6: because she loved Nebraska.
12:05
Speaker 2: The best softball player in the game is at Texas
12:07
Speaker 2: Tech in the circle. Naja Kennedy is the best player
12:10
Speaker 2: in the game. They gave her a million dollars, but
12:13
Speaker 2: then other players were getting one hundred thousand, So now
12:17
Speaker 2: it's not the top, it's the medal, it's the rest. Yeah.
12:21
Speaker 2: But I'm thinking, and I'm not Trevor Alberts. I don't
12:26
Speaker 2: have all the numbers. I only have the public numbers.
12:29
Speaker 2: But I'm thinking A and M could do better to say, hey,
12:33
Speaker 2: we're already I have not in basketball with what we're
12:35
Speaker 2: giving them. Can we take that same money invested in
12:38
Speaker 2: soccer and be.
12:40
Speaker 6: It and be beating Florida State with your coach you
12:43
Speaker 6: just took from Florida State.
12:44
Speaker 2: Correct, Just the thought, well, why would.
12:48
Speaker 6: You just limit it to soccer if you were going
12:52
Speaker 6: to take it away? What if you increased other sports
12:55
Speaker 6: with a little bit of revenue share?
12:57
Speaker 2: I mean, how much revenue share do you think women's
12:59
Speaker 2: basketball has to get. I don't know, right because apparently
13:02
Speaker 2: they're not near the top of the SEC. So if
13:06
Speaker 2: they're getting a one percent revenue share, does that make
13:09
Speaker 2: I'm throwing a number out there. I don't know the number.
13:12
Speaker 2: I thought.
13:12
Speaker 6: I thought it was five percent at a minimum. I
13:16
Speaker 6: would be shocked, I would I think you were gonna
13:19
Speaker 6: be shocked because I thought it was seventy twenty.
13:24
Speaker 2: That's what Texas Tech did. That's not what I know.
13:26
Speaker 2: I'm not talking about tex and M's numbers that they
13:28
Speaker 2: never put out.
13:29
Speaker 6: How they were I understand, but generally speaking, I'm gonna
13:32
Speaker 6: say seventy twenty for men's basketball, five for women's basketball.
13:37
Speaker 6: I'm actually I'm thinking Tennessee's numbers because some people said
13:40
Speaker 6: that's why their coach left and went to the Giants,
13:43
Speaker 6: which really wasn't true, but they were mad that Tennessee
13:46
Speaker 6: women's basketball was getting baseball's revenue share. Well, Tennessee is
13:52
Speaker 6: baseball is doing great and they have a national championship.
13:56
Speaker 6: Go look at what Pat Summit did at Tennessee basketball.
13:59
Speaker 6: They built that arena with twenty two thousand people in it,
14:02
Speaker 6: not for the men, they built it for the women,
14:07
Speaker 6: and they have all those seats solved to women's basketball. Okay,
14:13
Speaker 6: some schools may be like that, but do you have
14:18
Speaker 6: infighting in those sports? Well, I don't know how strong
14:21
Speaker 6: Pat White is is an athleg director at Tennessee. I
14:26
Speaker 6: think trev has a really good pulse on his coaches
14:30
Speaker 6: and isn't going to shake the boat and knows the
14:33
Speaker 6: right level for what all of these sports need.
14:35
Speaker 2: I'm sure he does. And he gave money to volleyball,
14:38
Speaker 2: he gave money to softball, which I think is in line.
14:42
Speaker 2: You also have to be in line with what other
14:43
Speaker 2: schools in your conference are doing. Yeah, to stay on pace,
14:49
Speaker 2: but if you're not staying on pace in women's basketball.
14:52
Speaker 2: Why not shift that money to something else and get
14:55
Speaker 2: a leg ahead. I'm just throwing that out. I think
14:57
Speaker 2: there would be a there could be a mutiny.
15:01
Speaker 6: There could be a mutiny.
15:02
Speaker 2: I will say this. In this year, A and M
15:07
Speaker 2: lost five point six million in women's basketball Texas. Who
15:13
Speaker 2: is that's top basketball team?
15:16
Speaker 5: Yeah?
15:17
Speaker 2: Seven point five? So you need to throw another two
15:20
Speaker 2: million at it right to be there?
15:23
Speaker 6: I yeah, I would. I would say that if you
15:27
Speaker 6: you know some people who's going to give that two million,
15:30
Speaker 6: where's that going to come from? I mean that's not
15:34
Speaker 6: including the the nil that they're talking about for these
15:39
Speaker 6: players as well.
15:41
Speaker 2: So I'm just I'm thinking about there's a there's a
15:45
Speaker 2: fixed amount of revenue, there's a fixed amount of revenue share.
15:49
Speaker 2: How do you benefit your department the most by having by.
15:52
Speaker 6: Well, you raise ticket prices like they did with softball
15:55
Speaker 6: and football. Well, next year in football, you do have
16:00
Speaker 6: extra home game because you're not going to all Yeah
16:03
Speaker 6: you do.
16:03
Speaker 2: They're seven home games, but you're not going to Jerry World.
16:07
Speaker 2: So there's still seven home games. You're going on the road.
16:10
Speaker 2: In the SEC five times, the number of home games
16:14
Speaker 2: did not go up.
16:15
Speaker 6: Yeah, they did.
16:16
Speaker 2: No, they didn't.
16:17
Speaker 6: It's at four. You only have four non conference games,
16:20
Speaker 6: I mean four conference games. This isn't a nine team
16:24
Speaker 6: a nine conference schedule.
16:28
Speaker 2: You're going on the road five times. Next year, you're
16:30
Speaker 2: getting seven home games. You're always going to have seven
16:33
Speaker 2: home games. I understand. Look, hey, they just had a
16:36
Speaker 2: successful season in football. I'm not complaining about ten to
16:41
Speaker 2: twenty percent increase, right, which is what happened in football,
16:46
Speaker 2: which after ten years of your donation being locked because
16:52
Speaker 2: of the rebuild of the stadium. I'm not complaining about
16:55
Speaker 2: that number jumping, But the expenses are only going up, right.
17:00
Speaker 2: Revenue yare actually goes up next year. It was twenty
17:03
Speaker 2: point five this year, goes up next year. I mean
17:05
Speaker 2: it's all laid out, but I remember the exact number.
17:08
Speaker 2: But those numbers need to go up, and they're going
17:11
Speaker 2: to continue to go up.
17:13
Speaker 6: Yeah, And because for a long time we said get
17:16
Speaker 6: A and him in the playoffs and see look what
17:18
Speaker 6: happens to the revenue. Now it's going to be get
17:22
Speaker 6: to the finals or win the championship, and looks what's
17:24
Speaker 6: going to happen the revenue.
17:26
Speaker 2: The revenue is going to go up no matter what
17:28
Speaker 2: they do. Yeah, I mean until people start saying that's
17:32
Speaker 2: no longer worth it to me. I expect an increase
17:36
Speaker 2: until you get a renewal rate below a certain number.
17:40
Speaker 6: And then you still have a waiting list that you
17:43
Speaker 6: may not have to worry about that for a while either.
17:47
Speaker 2: You know, eventually that baseball stadium is going to be
17:50
Speaker 2: rebuilt again. I would think so. Yeah, and those numbers
17:54
Speaker 2: are going to go up too.
17:55
Speaker 6: Let's talk at Aggie basketball.
17:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're fun to.
17:59
Speaker 6: Watch, aren't they fun to watch? Getting up and down
18:03
Speaker 6: the floor.
18:03
Speaker 2: I've been, I've been. I've been pleasantly surprised.
18:09
Speaker 6: I thought in the non and you and I, you know,
18:12
Speaker 6: when I and I talked with coach about this, when
18:14
Speaker 6: I had him on pregame show before an Agidam football game,
18:17
Speaker 6: I thought that he built an expectation the way he
18:20
Speaker 6: went out and got players. Now, not all the players
18:23
Speaker 6: have played at the level I thought they were going
18:25
Speaker 6: to play at, but some have exceeded.
18:27
Speaker 2: But a lot of them have played more than you
18:29
Speaker 2: thought that.
18:29
Speaker 6: Yes, I didn't think Griffin was going to be this
18:32
Speaker 6: kind of guy. I mean, not Griffin, but uh uh,
18:37
Speaker 6: the kid from from there was a Kansas from from Westlake.
18:39
Speaker 6: I'll pull him up here and say, Clement, Clement, Yeah,
18:42
Speaker 6: I didn't think he had a seven of eight three
18:46
Speaker 6: point shooting game in.
18:47
Speaker 2: His bag, and he's had a couple of those. Yeah,
18:51
Speaker 2: I thought. Ruben Domingez actually think that's one of the
18:54
Speaker 2: most fun things about this team, and it's probably one
18:56
Speaker 2: of the things that helps his locker room more than
18:58
Speaker 2: anything else. Is you never know on any given night
19:04
Speaker 2: who the guys going off is gonna be. First of all,
19:06
Speaker 2: everybody's getting minutes.
19:08
Speaker 6: And everybody's gonna get a chance to shoot.
19:10
Speaker 2: Everyone's getting their shots, everyone's getting minutes. There's no one
19:14
Speaker 2: over there on the bench. Go and why don't coach
19:15
Speaker 2: play me? Because you're gonna get in and you're gonna
19:17
Speaker 2: have your opportunity, and if it's your night to be hot,
19:20
Speaker 2: you're gonna stay in. And he's proven that. And because
19:23
Speaker 2: the different guys have gone off on different.
19:25
Speaker 6: Nights, And you know what else I like about that
19:29
Speaker 6: the next week, you didn't lose your job because somebody
19:32
Speaker 6: else was better the previous game. Okay, I've got a
19:37
Speaker 6: rotation that I use. Okay, Pops, Isaac didn't all of
19:41
Speaker 6: a sudden become a starter again when he's a valuable
19:44
Speaker 6: sixth man.
19:45
Speaker 2: So you're not losing your.
19:47
Speaker 6: Job if you're a starter and have a night where
19:50
Speaker 6: the bucket the ball doesn't go in the bucket, So
19:54
Speaker 6: you don't have that oh where there's pressure on me.
19:57
Speaker 2: I don't want to lose my job to this guy.
19:58
Speaker 6: It doesn't matter because all if you're playing twenty three
20:01
Speaker 6: minutes a game, whether you're in the first you start
20:04
Speaker 6: the game or you finish the game, that's based on
20:07
Speaker 6: how you play, and it doesn't really affect the next game,
20:10
Speaker 6: and it doesn't create that the pressure to be, Hey, well,
20:16
Speaker 6: if I don't want to coach, taking me out, because
20:18
Speaker 6: when am I going to get to play again?
20:20
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think it's it has been. That's been one
20:24
Speaker 2: of the most fun things to watch is the variety
20:27
Speaker 2: of people going off in any given whether it's an
20:30
Speaker 2: AG game or a Griffin game, or a pop game
20:33
Speaker 2: or Lane or Jakari Lane.
20:36
Speaker 6: Have you did you expect what you see out of
20:38
Speaker 6: Jakari Lane? I mean he lit it up at Northern Alabama. Okay,
20:45
Speaker 6: Diba lit it up at Southern Illinois. Guess what they
20:51
Speaker 6: have nights where they light up SEC games the same way.
20:55
Speaker 2: And we're gonna we're getting into a stretch where everyone
21:00
Speaker 2: else is beating each other up. I mean last night
21:03
Speaker 2: was there were no surprises in the NCC and you've
21:08
Speaker 2: got a couple of good games tonight which will be
21:10
Speaker 2: worth watching. But at it feels good about themselves right now.
21:16
Speaker 2: Right they're winning and basketball, you know, there's a lot
21:20
Speaker 2: of confidence that's involved in how you play. They're gonna
21:24
Speaker 2: stub their toe. I don't expect them to go, you know,
21:27
Speaker 2: not lose again. They're gonna lose ball games, but they're
21:31
Speaker 2: going to be in all of them.
21:32
Speaker 6: I thought it was a okay. I know that Bucky
21:36
Speaker 6: is real is new to high major basketball, but he
21:43
Speaker 6: wasn't new. He had the mid major stuff down, Okay,
21:48
Speaker 6: But for him to say, you know, we haven't lost
21:50
Speaker 6: a game, we have a trailed at the end of
21:52
Speaker 6: a game since November fourteenth, because I haven't. Their losses
21:57
Speaker 6: are overtimes. So even in those other games that they
22:01
Speaker 6: went to overtime since Central Florida on November fourteenth, they
22:06
Speaker 6: have won the game or gone to overtime, and every
22:11
Speaker 6: game they've played.
22:13
Speaker 2: And he's sending a message to his team, Hey, we
22:18
Speaker 2: are going to be in every game from here out. Yeah,
22:21
Speaker 2: he's setting an expectation where I think there wasn't much
22:25
Speaker 2: of an expectation around town for this team and he
22:30
Speaker 2: had to go out and push that himself because there wasn't.
22:36
Speaker 6: One No, you had one player, You had one player
22:39
Speaker 6: that nobody knew coming back from last year's team.
22:43
Speaker 2: So but I like it. He's not scared of it. No,
22:47
Speaker 2: he's gonna He's gonna go out and now this this
22:51
Speaker 2: weekend at.
22:52
Speaker 6: Georgia, Georgia's Georgia has done a lot. Like A and M,
22:56
Speaker 6: they've exceeded expectations.
22:58
Speaker 2: They were picked thirteenth the league.
23:00
Speaker 6: Yeah, but they're beatable, but you can lose to them.
23:07
Speaker 6: But you can lose to them in Alabama now that
23:10
Speaker 6: they've got the G League All Star on their team.
23:14
Speaker 2: You did you hear me in.
23:14
Speaker 6: The and before I went to vote him on the
23:17
Speaker 6: G League All Start and they had already taken him
23:20
Speaker 6: off because I was doing something else, didn't have an
23:22
Speaker 6: opportunity to vote. Yeah, I voted for all thees. Okay, Uh,
23:27
Speaker 6: Alabama will be tough. Florida is now getting guard play,
23:33
Speaker 6: but Alabama doesn't have their point guard.
23:35
Speaker 2: He's hurt.
23:37
Speaker 6: And if you no, I'm sorry. Kentucky doesn't have the
23:39
Speaker 6: point guard.
23:40
Speaker 2: He's hurt. You can't bring the ball up against A
23:42
Speaker 2: and M. Guess what you're in trouble. Yes. The one
23:45
Speaker 2: thing about Alabama that stands out to me is they
23:49
Speaker 2: play a very similar style and they're going to want
23:54
Speaker 2: to play the same stuff. Ain M tricks people into
23:56
Speaker 2: playing their styles more often than not.
23:59
Speaker 6: But Georgia runs and Alabama runs.
24:01
Speaker 2: So they'll be interesting to watch. Tennessee at Georgia tonight
24:05
Speaker 2: will be interesting to watch at six o'clock. Yeah, Texas
24:08
Speaker 2: at Auburn unfortunately, also at the same time, I think
24:12
Speaker 2: will be another interesting game to watch. Uh And in
24:16
Speaker 2: terms of this week, how's the middle of the SEC
24:20
Speaker 2: working out? Who's winning these games? Who's getting momentum?
24:23
Speaker 6: Missouri's kind of cratering like they do most years. See,
24:27
Speaker 6: I don't know why Missouri doesn't have more money in
24:30
Speaker 6: their basketball revshare. How do you know they don't, Well,
24:35
Speaker 6: they're not spending enough. Because Missouri basketball matters.
24:40
Speaker 2: It does Vandy.
24:45
Speaker 6: I watched them. They look like Vandy again last night.
24:48
Speaker 6: I mean they ran Kentucky out of the Gymany.
24:52
Speaker 2: Vandy's a lot like A and M and that when
24:54
Speaker 2: they when they hit baskets, when their shots are falling,
24:58
Speaker 2: they're tough.
24:58
Speaker 6: You know who Vandy's best. He's a guy that committed
25:02
Speaker 6: day and him and then left when Pops.
25:04
Speaker 5: Came on board.
25:06
Speaker 2: And he and he is twenty points a game guy.
25:10
Speaker 2: He has made Vandy a lot better by being there.
25:14
Speaker 6: I'm not getting to throw Pops out with the with
25:15
Speaker 6: the bath water, but that was just kind of funny
25:18
Speaker 6: that that's how it did because Pops looked at A
25:21
Speaker 6: and M. Because Houston got a guy to come back.
25:24
Speaker 6: Well guess what that got Houston's after twenty points a
25:26
Speaker 6: game two? But Ole miss Oklahoma, Arkansas again, Texas again,
25:33
Speaker 6: Kentucky will probably other point guard back by then LSU
25:36
Speaker 6: at the end of the year.
25:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a tough medal.
25:39
Speaker 6: This that's gonna be this the middle part of this
25:41
Speaker 6: cookie is gonna be tough.
25:43
Speaker 2: Okay, but it's sec basketball.
25:47
Speaker 6: Those other guys are gonna be able to play A and.
25:49
Speaker 2: M's playing as well as anybody else and win A
25:51
Speaker 2: and M's minute making shots. They can beat anybody on
25:55
Speaker 2: that schedule. Yeah, hey, we killed it.
25:59
Speaker 6: We're done.
26:00
Speaker 2: They're gonna come out at some point in missshots. But
26:02
Speaker 2: no they're not.
26:03
Speaker 6: I'm gonna be okay because you'll put somebody else in
26:05
Speaker 6: and they'll make shots. Well that's probably true because guess
26:08
Speaker 6: what he wants shooters to shoot, and he's convinced all
26:11
Speaker 6: of them they're a shooter. That's good coaching right there.
26:14

Speaker 7: to roughly eighteen hundred and fifties voting members, which Chip
33:08
Speaker 7: Howard is not a power of apparently a body made
33:11
Speaker 7: of music industry professionalsship. It's probably because you're not a music.
33:16
Speaker 1: Well pretty much, yes, pretty much. I play as much
33:24
Speaker 1: music as anyone.
33:26
Speaker 7: That's true.
33:27
Speaker 8: I mean, however, there's.
33:29
Speaker 1: No howevers, there's no howevers I should be voting in
33:33
Speaker 1: this deal.
33:35
Speaker 7: I know, Well, you can vote in your brain if
33:39
Speaker 7: that makes you feel.
33:39
Speaker 1: Okay, Well I've voted no, so I don't know how
33:43
Speaker 1: that works.
33:44
Speaker 7: But ah, well, too bad.
33:46
Speaker 8: Maybe I cast a deciding vote.
33:48
Speaker 7: No no, I say yes, why not?
33:54
Speaker 8: Well you don't have a vote, and eventually you don't.
33:57
Speaker 8: You don't get a vote chip.
33:59
Speaker 7: If you can vote in your brain, I can vote
34:01
Speaker 7: in my brain too.
34:02
Speaker 8: Okay, well I'm not voting in my brain.
34:04
Speaker 1: I'm voting online with these weasels.
34:09
Speaker 7: Oh okay. I don't have enough energy to care about that,
34:13
Speaker 7: but in my brain.
34:16
Speaker 8: Yes, I like it.
34:21
Speaker 1: I don't really have enough energy to care about anything
34:23
Speaker 1: at this point, so that's probably an issue.
34:26
Speaker 7: Real. Yeah, I'm just thinking about how I have to
34:29
Speaker 7: go to the store before this week.
34:31
Speaker 1: You and night, you and two hundred thousand other people,
34:37
Speaker 1: so thank you. Last weekend, last weekend, last Saturday was
34:42
Speaker 1: pretty nasty, you know, it's pretty cold and nasty. Dusty
34:47
Speaker 1: goes to the store on Friday and it is packed
34:51
Speaker 1: and he's looking around some guy. Some guy's buying, like,
34:55
Speaker 1: you know, pounds and pounds of just meat, and he's.
35:01
Speaker 8: Wondering It's.
35:04
Speaker 1: It's not like this weekend the worst blizzard in the
35:09
Speaker 1: history of mankind. It was just gonna be cold, and
35:13
Speaker 1: people are in there just stocking up one stuff. And
35:16
Speaker 1: I'm going, why are people stocking up one stuff when
35:20
Speaker 1: the temperatures dropping twenty degrees? So you can imagine what
35:23
Speaker 1: the stores are gonna be like the next two days.
35:28
Speaker 7: I think we're all secretly traumatized from COVID times where
35:31
Speaker 7: toilet paper was not sistant.
35:35
Speaker 8: You know it's gonna be seventeen degrees.
35:38
Speaker 1: Let's buy seventeen plats of toilet paper.
35:43
Speaker 7: I'll be as if.
35:45
Speaker 1: As if if you wrap it all around you, you're
35:48
Speaker 1: gonna be warmer.
35:52
Speaker 7: Make yourself a toilet paper.
35:54
Speaker 8: For you people.
35:56
Speaker 7: I no, guys, it's okay. We live in Texas. I'm
35:59
Speaker 7: sure next week.
36:02
Speaker 10: Do you that's how this was?
36:03
Speaker 7: Do you.
36:05
Speaker 8: Do you have any more Taylor Swift news or can
36:08
Speaker 8: we move on?
36:10
Speaker 7: Well, let me say kind of, I kind of have
36:12
Speaker 7: a little bit. I don't know if I mean, I
36:15
Speaker 7: know what this story? Yes, okay, okay, so we're gonna
36:18
Speaker 7: it's kind of a crossover because Blake Lively, as we know,
36:22
Speaker 7: we don't know if they are friends now, but at
36:25
Speaker 7: one point very good friends. And she's got a lot
36:27
Speaker 7: of legal issues going on with Justin Baldini, and among
36:32
Speaker 7: a bunch of emails, text and depositions that were unsealed
36:36
Speaker 7: in the Blake Lively Justin Bonnini illegal case is an
36:39
Speaker 7: exchange that allegrically shows Taylor Swift signing with Lively against
36:44
Speaker 7: its ends with us director. So I mean, of course,
36:47
Speaker 7: why wouldn't she that's her friend, Like you know, at
36:50
Speaker 7: the end of the day, usually you have your friends back.
36:53
Speaker 7: Within the hundreds of exhibits that were unsealed January twentieth,
36:56
Speaker 7: so yesterday is an alleged December twenty twenty four text
37:00
Speaker 7: exchange between Lively and Swift and of filing that was obtained.
37:06
Speaker 7: Though the last name for Swiss contact is redacted, Lively's
37:10
Speaker 7: legal team identified the singer by name in a court
37:12
Speaker 7: filing addressing the text in response to the contents of
37:16
Speaker 7: Baldini's legal teams November motion for summary judgment. So previously
37:23
Speaker 7: this was filed by his team. On December fifth, twenty four,
37:27
Speaker 7: Swift appeared to send Lively a screenshot of People magazines
37:30
Speaker 7: reporting on Baldini speaking out against the trauma from a
37:33
Speaker 7: prior relationship, along with the message, I think this bleep
37:37
Speaker 7: knows something is coming because he's gotten out his tiny
37:41
Speaker 7: violince uh oh. On December twenty four, twenty first, Lively
37:47
Speaker 7: was the victim of apparently a smear campaign after she
37:50
Speaker 7: complained of sexual harassment by Justin and the producer Jamie Heath.
37:57
Speaker 7: That day, her formal complaint to California's Silver Rights Department
38:00
Speaker 7: also became public. Lively does seem to respond it rings
38:04
Speaker 7: different when he doesn't end the story by saying, did
38:08
Speaker 7: I always listen when they said no no, like he
38:12
Speaker 7: did with me? But that must not have tested well
38:16
Speaker 7: in the focus group. So the conversation taking place in
38:20
Speaker 7: the days leading up to Swift's final eras tour show
38:23
Speaker 7: appeared to start with Lively checking in with Swift, asking
38:26
Speaker 7: is everything okay? She felt like a bad friend lately?
38:29
Speaker 7: Taylor seems to respond with Lively like was not wrong
38:32
Speaker 7: to feel things were off. I feel distant from you,
38:35
Speaker 7: even more than when we are geographically aligned with the message,
38:39
Speaker 7: says Lively's recent communications felt like I was reading a
38:43
Speaker 7: mass corporate email sent to two hundred employees.
38:49
Speaker 1: Taylor has lots of beefs. I will say that she
38:52
Speaker 1: gets into a lot of beefs.
38:55
Speaker 7: She does. Yeah, thank god she's not a vegetarian.
38:58

Speaker 1: a while, you know what I'm saying. Yes, I will
43:35
Speaker 1: have completed all the all the goals.
43:39
Speaker 7: Yeah, we'll give you your own personalized, our own version of
43:44
Speaker 7: the GOT. Is that what it's called.
43:48
Speaker 8: I think I could eat GOT?
43:50
Speaker 10: Yeah?
43:51
Speaker 2: Why not?
43:51
Speaker 8: I'm pretty sure I could.
43:53
Speaker 5: Yeah.
43:54
Speaker 1: Okay, we've had we've had Taylor Swift news. We need
44:00
Speaker 1: we need some Royal news to kind of blend in.
44:04
Speaker 7: Well, you know, I got it, so of course I've
44:07
Speaker 7: got it. Prince Harry says he's always had an uneasy
44:12
Speaker 7: relationship with the media, but his position in the Royal
44:14
Speaker 7: family stopped him from speaking out, which isn't a problem anymore.
44:20
Speaker 7: He is in London this week as the trial is
44:22
Speaker 7: underway the Associated Newspapers, the publisher of the UK outlets
44:26
Speaker 7: Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday, who are accused of
44:29
Speaker 7: using unlawful methods to gather information. Harry is one of
44:33
Speaker 7: several high profile claimants claimants and then the case, along
44:40
Speaker 7: with Elton John, Elizabeth Early, and Jude Law's ex wife
44:43
Speaker 7: Sadie Frost. Prince Harry took to the stand to give
44:47
Speaker 7: testimony today and witness and his witness statements to detailing
44:53
Speaker 7: why he didn't speak up sooner about the invasive stories
44:56
Speaker 7: about him and his relationships. In a witness statement, Harry
45:00
Speaker 7: sites the death of his mother, Princess Diana as the
45:03
Speaker 7: beginning of his discomfort with the media, which, honestly, it's
45:07
Speaker 7: like that is valid, yeah, you know. However, as a
45:12
Speaker 7: member of the institution, referring to the British Royal Family,
45:16
Speaker 7: he had to follow their policy of never complain, never
45:20
Speaker 7: explain there was no alternative. I was conditioned to accept it.
45:26
Speaker 7: Thought of the original of the sorry nineteenth century British
45:30
Speaker 7: Prime Minister Benjamarin Disraeli Israeli Disraeli. Gosh, I'm so close.
45:36
Speaker 7: The never complaint never explained motto was adopted by Queen
45:39
Speaker 7: Elizabeth's late mother, the Queen Mother of the family. Queen Mom. Yes,
45:46
Speaker 7: that makes more sense, followed suit when it came to
45:50
Speaker 7: contentious public matters.
45:52
Speaker 8: I hope Harry wins this thing, you know.
45:56
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, I look, it's not just him complaining. Say,
46:00
Speaker 7: there's other people who are very notable people, you know.
46:03
Speaker 1: I mean, the British Shapers have a long, sordid history.
46:07
Speaker 8: You know what I'm saying.
46:08
Speaker 7: Well, they use very colorful language, very colorful.
46:12
Speaker 8: So I love this story.
46:16
Speaker 1: The Simpsons Bort license plate creates toll troubles. A Massachusetts
46:23
Speaker 1: driver is facing unexpected toll charges due to her Simpson's
46:30
Speaker 1: themed license plate reading Bort. The plate, a nod to
46:36
Speaker 1: a joke from a nineteen ninety four episode, has led
46:39
Speaker 1: to confusion and frustration, as Katie Eunice has been builled
46:44
Speaker 1: for tolls intended for other vehicles. The situation stems from
46:50
Speaker 1: the existence of counterfeit bort plates, which are often purchased
46:55
Speaker 1: online or at Universal Studios in Orlando. The fake plates
47:01
Speaker 1: are similar enough to Katie's that automated toll cameras are
47:07
Speaker 1: misidentifying her car, resulting in multiple toll charges. In a
47:13
Speaker 1: recent interview, Katie expressed her frustration urging other drivers to
47:18
Speaker 1: stop using her plate. Well, I mean it is for
47:22
Speaker 1: sale everywhere, she mentioned. I'm continuing to get notices and
47:28
Speaker 1: I don't know when the bills will stop. It's really funny,
47:32
Speaker 1: but it's causing me a bit of a headache. Katie's
47:36
Speaker 1: love for The Simpsons includes an arm tattoo.
47:41
Speaker 8: I like this girl. I need to reach out to her.
47:44
Speaker 1: I mean she has a Simpsons tattoo and a board
47:48
Speaker 1: license plate.
47:49
Speaker 8: I'm all in on that, all in.
47:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is pretty cool, although apparently it's causing some issues.
47:59
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's cool when it's not yours.
48:02
Speaker 8: Yeah, when it's not you, we'll admire it. Yeah.
48:07
Speaker 7: Oh man, uh, well, you know, we haven't talked about
48:11
Speaker 7: Lizzo in a hot minute. She kind of disappeared for
48:15
Speaker 7: a minute, but.
48:16
Speaker 8: I think she's been losing weight.
48:19
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean that is the trend nowadays, isn't it. Yeah,
48:22
Speaker 7: Lisso looked like adult up Barbie. Barbie at the Los
48:26
Speaker 7: Angeles premiere of Pis Hilton's Infinite Icon of Visual Memoir
48:31
Speaker 7: documentary documentary, which was this past Tuesday Nights Yesterday, showing
48:36
Speaker 7: off her traumatic weight loss.
48:38
Speaker 8: In the adult Jude dress.
48:40
Speaker 6: You were right.
48:42
Speaker 7: The singer is radiating confidence in a curb hugging, light
48:45
Speaker 7: pink mini dress paired with the dazzled heels. She elevated
48:50
Speaker 7: the pretty and pink look with a pair of sparkling
48:52
Speaker 7: Hooper rings that brightened up that pink carpet thanks to
48:55
Speaker 7: her half up, half down hairstyle. Get dolled up Barbie?
49:01
Speaker 8: Is there anything she can't do?
49:04
Speaker 7: I know, I guess not.
49:08
Speaker 8: I need. I want to get this in before we
49:10
Speaker 8: get to birthdays.

49:19
Speaker 1: announced the arrival of a baby girl via surrogate. The
49:25
Speaker 1: singer and actor now have three children together. The only
49:29
