LeShelle and I bring you the first Thursday Thoughts of spring quarter! Today, we discuss spring sports we would have loved to do professionally, if we have beef with a fictional character (I know I do), favorite musical artists from the 2010s, and if LeShelle has any spring jokes! She wanted to get me back for those math jokes a few weeks ago.

What did the seed say to the flower?
2
00:00:04,432 --> 00:00:07,432
What did the seed say to the flower?
3
00:00:07,732 --> 00:00:08,165
I don't know.
4
00:00:08,165 --> 00:00:10,931
- What did the seed say to the flower?
- Okay, bloomer.
5
00:00:14,298 --> 00:00:14,897
Hey, Aggies!
6
00:00:14,897 --> 00:00:17,464
It’s Chancellor May and LeShelle, and it’s time for Thursday Thoughts!
7
00:00:17,464 --> 00:00:21,297
Today, we are outside as we welcome you back to campus for spring quarter!
8
00:00:21,730 --> 00:00:25,263
We hope everyone had a fun and relaxing spring break and are prepared
9
00:00:25,563 --> 00:00:28,529
to finish the academic year strong.
10
00:00:28,529 --> 00:00:32,162
In addition to academics, this quarter will be the season for Aggies
11
00:00:32,162 --> 00:00:34,328
to attend many significant events.
12
00:00:34,328 --> 00:00:37,561
These events include Picnic Day,
the Whole Earth Festival,
13
00:00:37,894 --> 00:00:41,160
Lawntopia, career fairs,
athletics, and cultural events.
14
00:00:41,394 --> 00:00:44,927
And to top it all off, the commencement season begins in May.
15
00:00:45,127 --> 00:00:50,193
So remember, if you see LeShelle or me around, please feel free to say hi.
16
00:00:50,459 --> 00:00:54,059
Now we'll get on to your questions,
and we'll let LeShelle go first.
17
00:00:54,259 --> 00:00:55,458
Okay.
18
00:00:55,458 --> 00:00:56,625
More athletics.
19
00:00:56,625 --> 00:00:57,825
Woohoo!
20
00:00:57,825 --> 00:01:00,858
What’s a spring sport
21
00:01:00,858 --> 00:01:03,991
you would have liked to do professionally?
22
00:01:04,890 --> 00:01:06,590
Professionally.
23
00:01:06,590 --> 00:01:09,856
So, I actually played baseball,
little league,
24
00:01:10,556 --> 00:01:13,389
with my dad as my coach
so I never came out of the game.
25
00:01:13,389 --> 00:01:15,222
Five centuries ago.
26
00:01:15,222 --> 00:01:20,188
- No not centuries. Five decades.
- Only decades. Don’t do that to me.
27
00:01:20,188 --> 00:01:22,355
I meant five decades.
28
00:01:22,355 --> 00:01:23,421
I was a pretty good shortstop.
29
00:01:23,421 --> 00:01:26,487
In high school, I played a little tennis
30
00:01:27,054 --> 00:01:29,787
in spring and I haven’t picked up
my racket in a bit.
31
00:01:29,787 --> 00:01:32,787
But, professionally...
32
00:01:33,886 --> 00:01:36,886
Wow. Baseball players make a lot of money.
33
00:01:38,286 --> 00:01:39,352
Tennis players do, too.
34
00:01:39,352 --> 00:01:40,952
But,
35
00:01:42,452 --> 00:01:45,452
I guess,
I guess the team sport, baseball.
36
00:01:45,518 --> 00:01:45,985
How about you?
37
00:01:45,985 --> 00:01:48,618
I love tennis,
so no doubt it would be tennis.
38
00:01:48,618 --> 00:01:49,218
That'd be your spring sport.
39
00:01:49,218 --> 00:01:51,984
I love tennis, yeah. So, I played.
40
00:01:51,984 --> 00:01:53,884
- I used to play year round.
- You used to play.
41
00:01:53,884 --> 00:01:56,883
You still play, sometimes.
42
00:01:57,583 --> 00:01:59,883
What fictional character
43
00:01:59,883 --> 00:02:01,249
do you have beef with?
44
00:02:02,749 --> 00:02:05,415
It's hard for me to do that
because they're not real.
45
00:02:05,415 --> 00:02:08,548
What fictional character do you not like?
46
00:02:09,848 --> 00:02:11,681
Beef means
that you had an argument with them.
47
00:02:11,681 --> 00:02:13,914
- Well you don't like them.
- You can't argue with a fake person.
48
00:02:13,914 --> 00:02:16,047
- You argue with people you don't like.
- Well, what's your answer?
49
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:18,414
Don't make this harder than it is.
50
00:02:18,414 --> 00:02:21,013
Well, I need an example,
because my brain doesn't work that way.
51
00:02:21,013 --> 00:02:23,979
- What's your example?
- Thanos. I don't like Thanos.
- Why?
52
00:02:23,979 --> 00:02:25,413
He was
53
00:02:25,413 --> 00:02:28,412
fighting the Avengers
and he tried to destroy half the universe.
54
00:02:28,745 --> 00:02:31,312
- He did nothing to you.
- He’s fictional.
55
00:02:31,312 --> 00:02:33,511
Fictional character.
56
00:02:33,511 --> 00:02:35,711
Fictional character
can't do anything to me.
57
00:02:35,711 --> 00:02:38,577
But, you have a beef with him.
58
00:02:38,577 --> 00:02:39,944
Can you just name a fictional character you don't like?
59
00:02:39,944 --> 00:02:43,443
I can't—
See, you like Sci-Fi.
60
00:02:43,877 --> 00:02:46,043
In my mind, this is not a hard question. It doesn't have to be Sci-Fi.
61
00:02:46,043 --> 00:02:49,043
A fictional—A novel you read or a movie you saw.
62
00:02:49,043 --> 00:02:51,042
- I can't think of that.
- A person you didn’t like.
63
00:02:51,042 --> 00:02:53,109
- Next question.
- Okay.
64
00:02:53,109 --> 00:02:59,641
Who is your favorite musical artist,
specifically from 2010s.
65
00:02:59,675 --> 00:03:00,908
2010s?
66
00:03:02,541 --> 00:03:02,941
Does this
67
00:03:02,941 --> 00:03:06,040
mean that they started in 2010
or they just?
68
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:06,474
Yeah.
69
00:03:06,474 --> 00:03:09,973
I assume it means the music was popular in the 2010s.
70
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,539
Oh, or at least, something I liked.
71
00:03:12,539 --> 00:03:13,106
Okay.
72
00:03:13,106 --> 00:03:17,005
I don’t know if I’ll have the years right, I'm going to say—
I'm going to say Seal.
73
00:03:17,705 --> 00:03:19,138
Okay.
74
00:03:19,138 --> 00:03:20,005
- That's 2010?
- I think that’s about right.
75
00:03:20,005 --> 00:03:21,771
I think his first hits
were in the 90s, maybe.
76
00:03:21,771 --> 00:03:24,771
But he was still hot.
77
00:03:25,104 --> 00:03:26,871
I'm going to say The Weeknd.
78
00:03:26,871 --> 00:03:29,870
The Weeknd, I know
The Weeknd was definitely before 2019.
79
00:03:29,870 --> 00:03:33,337
- Maybe Seal was 2000s and not 2010s.
- Yes.
80
00:03:33,636 --> 00:03:35,503
Go back a few more decades.
81
00:03:35,503 --> 00:03:36,869
- I need to go—
- I got that right.
82
00:03:36,869 --> 00:03:39,602
No, go forward decades.
83
00:03:39,602 --> 00:03:42,602
Yeah, forward because he was back—You
didn't get it right.
84
00:03:44,035 --> 00:03:46,335
So, who do I like more recently than that.
85
00:03:46,335 --> 00:03:46,901
See.
86
00:03:46,901 --> 00:03:48,334
she's going to tease me but
87
00:03:48,334 --> 00:03:50,834
you said this before,
my musical taste stops around 2010.
88
00:03:50,834 --> 00:03:51,767
It does. Yeah.
89
00:03:51,767 --> 00:03:54,834
Do you like, you should just do mine, do you like The Weeknd?
90
00:03:55,167 --> 00:03:55,800
He's okay.
91
00:03:56,900 --> 00:03:58,300
He wouldn't be my first choice, though.
92
00:03:58,300 --> 00:04:01,299
- Okay.
- Give me some other artists.
- The 2010s.
93
00:04:01,833 --> 00:04:03,066
Bruno Mars.
94
00:04:03,066 --> 00:04:04,732
Bruno Mars. I like that one.
95
00:04:04,732 --> 00:04:05,499
We saw his concert, that’s good.
96
00:04:05,499 --> 00:04:08,498
- Bruno Mars. I'll take Bruno Mars.
- Okay.
97
00:04:08,732 --> 00:04:10,298
And you're done.
98
00:04:10,298 --> 00:04:11,198
That was hard for you.
99
00:04:11,198 --> 00:04:12,731
But fictional was hard for me.
100
00:04:12,731 --> 00:04:13,598
It's really hard, that’s all I got.
All right.
101
00:04:13,598 --> 00:04:14,364
Let's go.
102
00:04:14,364 --> 00:04:17,364
Next question.
103
00:04:17,564 --> 00:04:18,930
Ed Sheeran, I like him.
