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.

1

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,999

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.
