Nothing to say, yet
The Boche Boys podcast discusses three main topics: the live golf tour in the Middle East, nuclear energy in the United States, and the destruction of the Cerrado in Brazil. They discuss the controversy and human rights violations surrounding the live golf tour, the potential of nuclear energy as a clean and efficient source of power, and the devastating environmental impact of deforestation and agriculture in the Cerrado. They emphasize the need for awareness and action to address these issues. What is up my fellow listeners? We are the Boche Boys and we're happy to bring you the first episode of our brand new podcast. I'm the host Chris Coleco and today on the show we will be covering a wide variety of topics and we will delve right into them. Some serious issues going on around the world from the live golf tour in the Middle East all the way to the structure of the whole ecosystem in South America. We got it all for you today. I'm joined by my esteemed colleagues Tony Brester, Jackson Ware, Chris Peterson and boy do we have a show for you guys today. So we're gonna start off you know traveling out to the Middle East get on the plane see what's going on and we're gonna head to the live golf tour. There's been a lot of stuff going on there recently especially with how much money they're being able to throw these golfers. You know it's it's stirring the pot a little bit and we're gonna have Jackson tell us all about it. Jackson. So the live golf tour recently has been receiving a lot of hate because there's been a lot of PGA players and the Americans don't like this and it's a big problem also because the live golf tour is supported by the Middle East and in the Middle East they do not care about human rights. They love to violate human rights and these people that own the live golf tour and support these golfers they pay these golfers tons of money to keep quiet about what goes on behind the scenes and it's causing a lot of controversy. Yeah so like what specifically are the human rights violations that are occurring on the tour? So basically they'll punish people by killing them and there's no remorse. How is that just swept under the rug so easily? It doesn't make sense. I mean. It's harder on the head. See this is why it's interesting because they pay these golfers so much money to keep quiet about what goes on behind the scenes and it really does show that money can kind of do anything for you. That's a crazy way to look at it Jackson. I mean yeah what Jackson just said the generational wealth going on in Saudi Arabia is something that you just can't like there's so infallible and they can really pay these players anything they want. On the side, playing with the players, these players are getting a lifetime opportunity with the money because that's not money they could make in the tour but you also have the downside that you don't actually know what's going on. That would be extremely corrupt and weird to know but it looks a little suspicious. Yeah it seems to be like the modern day you know dancing with the devil. Yeah you've got these huge players leaving the U.S. tour per se like Dustin Johnson, you've got Bryson DeChambeau and Phil Mickelson all just getting paid more and leaving from this market that was dominated by the PGA which for them is good but it draws a lot of money away from this U.S. organization too. Yeah the PGA has never really had anything to like step up and kind of give it a good run for its money. So it's kind of interesting to see how they are going to change and react and adapt to the situation as it's ever changing market. Recently there's been putting more money in the pot for their tour just to keep people in the right space in the U.S.A. I mean even in Saudi Arabia there's no freedom of speech. If you talk about a political leader there and you get punished for it very harshly. So I mean it's a huge problem. So who are the leaders of the Live Golf Tour itself? So the Live Golf Tour is backed by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman and it's also partnered by Greg Norman who's a former PGA pro. And recently a lot of people that used to like Greg Norman are switching their views on him because of his partnership with Saudi Arabia. And he's an American? He's an American. Is he just in it for the money? Just money hungry? What's going on? Yeah like I said money will do anything for you. That's crazy. Money runs people's lives. 2023. I mean a great example of that is Louisaiza. I mean he hasn't won like a major. I can't remember the last time he won a major. He was probably struggling with PGA Tour. His name is so big in South Africa. So Louisaiza is a big guy. He's getting paid more than he ever did during his PGA career. So I mean it's really good for him and his family. But there's also so much of that money actually really coming from what he's really doing. These guys really think they can just deal with it. I mean even Greg Norman when asked about these team life violations he said look we've all made mistakes and you just want to learn from those mistakes and how you can correct them going forward. So they really don't care about the views of the public. But they just sweep it under the rug. And back to the money part. I think I read something about the Live Golf Tour being backed by Saudi Arabia's public investment fund which is worth about 600 billion dollars. Holy. So they got this huge like. Well it's the same thing with Cameron Alda to come over. Yeah yeah same thing. They used the same thing for him. So basically they own about the same people. That's crazy. Yeah. Yeah I mean these golfers that are signing are getting paid 200 million just to sign. And then when they win a tournament they get even more money. It's a weird situation for sure. Are they specifically targeting the Americans at all or is it more of the. Who's the most affected? Will they target Phil Mickelson for speaking out or will they kind of try and pin it down on the average Joe? They really like to go for big names. I mean just like everybody would. Are you saying that they would kill Phil Mickelson? No no no no. Wait are you saying who would they. I'm saying like who are the people mostly affected by it in that aspect. Who are they like trying to make a statement out of. Let's say I'm Phil Mickelson and I'm on the tour you know. And I'm reaching out and I'm talking and I'm not having a good time and I'm saying. God I hate this like this tour is terrible. What would they do to him in that situation? I mean if that's a big name like that it doesn't seem like they could really do much. They'd probably just have to let him walk. But it's just the amount of money they've already paid him. It's a great situation for sure. Nobody's really tried to leave that tour yet. Probably because of the amount of money they've been paid. Yeah kind of bringing back to that. You answered the question a little differently when I said who are the people affected. So who do you think the main people in the situation are that are being affected by this? I would probably say mostly watchers of the PGA Tour. I think that growing up we all have our favorite sports players. I mean this topic is interesting to me because I'm a big golfer. And you see one of your favorite golfers go over to this live tour. Who you know is backed by Saudi Arabians and their human rights violations. And then it really just changes your view on a player that you used to think as your favorite player. And I think that really affects the general public that watch the PGA Tour. I'm going to be so honest with you. I'm pretty much the average golf fan. No, you're definitely more of a golf fan than I am. I watch the Masters and I really was kind of out of the loop on this whole live tour controversy. Until I heard you talk about bringing it up. So I think that a lot more light needs to be shined on this situation. Because man, if what's going on is actually happening, this is going to continue to happen. And the more money they throw out, the more they can keep it hush hush. Then we're going to have some big problems. What would you say is the best solution in this instance to combat this? I think honestly what I'm doing right now is trying to bring more light to the situation. It's hard to have a solution when not many people know about it. But if we could get more light on this topic and more people advocating for this live golf tour to be shut down. I think the voice of the general public speaks louder than anything about that. Yeah, Jackson, I have to agree with you on that. So before we switch it up, is there any last points you'd like to make? No, I think that's about it. Yeah, I think you really touched upon it. And I think our listeners will be grateful for all the valuable insight you were able to provide us in this situation. Alright, so now we know we're going to pack up our bags. We're leaving Saudi Arabia and we're traveling back home to the U.S. of A. We're going to be talking about nuclear energy. And is it really the new wave here in the United States? You know, when you hear nuclear, you automatically, I feel like, get kind of a negative connotation. So it's going to be very interesting to see if these new nuclear programs we have in place are going to be more efficient than, say, wind or solar. So we're going to have to take it over to our expert, Tony Brester here, who's going to give us the rundown on it. Tony, I just have one question to start with you, man. So how does the nuclear energy compare to the energy source? That's my big question. I know it's a big producer, but I want to know about the environmental pull on it as well. I mean, compared to solar and wind, it takes up a minuscule amount of space. I mean, you've got these tiny reactors that are the size of, like, I don't know, like a small building, compared to these huge solar fields out in, like, Arizona and Nevada and stuff. There's only 53 power plants across the U.S. and they produce 20% of the U.S. power. So you've got a huge amount of energy density. I think one uranium pellet that is used in nuclear power and nuclear reactors can produce as much energy as one ton of coal or 149 gallons of oil. Yeah, and coal's our leading industry in power. Yeah, so you've got this, like, tiny, like, energy source that just produces so much. I think it can just be expanded on even more. So, I know, like I said earlier, when people hear nuclear, they get scared. You know, you think of Chernobyl, you think about all these, what is it, the one in New York? Oh yeah, Three Mile Island. Three Mile Island, like, that's terrifying. So how, what are they doing in this day and age to make sure something like that never happens again so the public can feel more safe of having more nuclear energy sources? Well, I think they learn from these mistakes. So, I mean, you have Chernobyl, where the biggest issue was they were cooling a nuclear reactor with a coolant that is flammable. That sounds smart. Carbon fire. I mean, it was graphite, which is carbon, yeah. And then you've got Fukushima in Japan, where they built a nuclear power plant in the path of a potential tsunami, and it happened. That's nuts. I don't know why you'd build anything, like, there anyway. Is Japan still super into nuclear energy after that? No, they shut down. I was going to say, yeah. And that was, I'm pretty sure that was the biggest plant in the world, like the highest active plant in the world, and it got destroyed. They didn't have as many, like, deaths or as big of an effect as Chernobyl, but it's still, I mean, they're an island. They're a little tiny island country. That's a pretty big issue for them, so. It seems like the U.S. is doing a good job at getting rid of, or even reusing these byproducts of the nuclear waste to keep it safe. They're storing these byproducts safely underground, and they can even be reused, which can be very useful for us, because this wind energy, if you use it once, and then it's over. Like, these nuclear plants, you can just keep using this energy, the byproducts that you get. Yeah, I'd say, with nuclear energy, it's not the cleanest source of energy, but the only downside to it is it's so hard to access, it's so expensive, and there's cheaper solutions, but the government and people just don't really want to pay for that yet, I guess. My question to that is, like, how do you find a cheap, yet powerful energy source? I feel like it's kind of hard to play that tango there between the two. Yeah, there's definitely problems that can tip out. I mean, cheaper is cheaper, but you also don't know what you're really going to buy, and you don't really know what's going to happen to all these renewable energy in the future. Yeah, that's the biggest thing for me, is that I find it hard to see how, like, I know that nuclear energy is terrible, historically it's been terrible on the environment in terms of how they dispose of it, you know? Do you know the whole system of how that works? Yeah, they put it underground. That destroys areas of, like, fertile land. I just want to know what they're doing in this day and age to kind of go against that, because that's what worries me the most. When I was reading up on this, looking through my nuclear energy, I'm seeing that, and that's terrifying. Yeah, I think for this issue in particular, the U.S. is really on a hot seat, because they don't recycle their nuclear waste, which you can recycle this material, you can put it back into reactors and get it back. I want to say it's 90% of the energy that it previously had. So, countries like France and Germany and even Israel are recycling this by-product, which is saving on costs and is helping with the environment. You don't have to build these facilities to store the by-product and you don't have to have the by-product itself, really. So you just keep depleting this uranium even more. And the U.S. doesn't do that for so-called safety concerns regarding potential nuclear weapons or nuclear outbreaks. Yeah. I'm wondering how this is safer than, say, just having some wind turbines and just grinding out some wind energy, or putting some solar panels on a house or in a field. It's obviously a risk when you're using nuclear energy, but you think of nuclear energy, you think of all the accidents that have happened with it, but you don't think of all the good things that have happened with it as well. I mean, nuclear energy is probably the most clean energy you can have. I mean, the emissions that come from it are not even close to the other emissions from cars or stuff like that. So I think there's just a big stigma about nuclear energy that needs to be put out the window. Yeah. I'd say I'm one of the basic critics of it. I'd say I live and breathe that stigma, just because I feel like what's happened, it terrifies me personally. But I'm seeing that in this generation, we're providing safer ways. We've seen what happens. We know how to stop it. We know how to prevent it. And I think that, like you said, Tony, nuclear energy is totally the next wave. It's the most powerful we've got. And with our country that's just exploding technologically, we're going to need to keep it running on some power. And nowadays, there's also heavy regulations on nuclear energy. There's a strict guideline of accident prevention, training, power plant requirements. So you've got these really strict, heavily enforced rules that are really keeping things tight, really keeping things safe. You also talk about destroying some fertile soil. But like Tony was saying, these buildings that you are doing this nuclear energy in are only taking up the size of a regular small building. The area around it probably won't be affected too much. I mean, I would think some stuff's going to happen. But if you think about these solar fields, these wind fields, these are taking up thousands of acres of space. Yeah, in the middle of nowhere. Yeah, that aren't going to be used anyway. So it's not a huge deal in the United States. So, Tony, my last question for you is, what does nuclear energy look like for the future, especially here in the United States? Well, there's new reactors being built. Some are the size of, I guess, like a motorcycle. Something that they thought about putting in people's yards just to power each house. There's also cobalt reactors which are being developed where accidents are basically impossible because once it gets too hot, the nuclear reaction can't occur. So it can't melt down. So they're not pushing for development as much as other energy sources like batteries or even solar. But they're definitely expanding. They're developing. They're not really building new plants, but they're upgrading, updating plants. I know the one that was here in Dallas, there's two. And those were just recently refurbished. Really? A few years ago, yeah. Wow. Well, that's great to know. And, Tony, thank you for telling us and informing us about all the great things that are coming along with nuclear energy. It's going to be the future. You heard it here, folks. All right. We're packing our bags up once again. And this time, we're heading down to the Amazon. So now we're going to go into talking about one of the most critical environmental issues in the world today. And it's the destruction of the Cerrado. The Cerrado is an area that spans 789,600 miles. And it is located in Brazil and parts of Paraguay. And throughout the years, through process of deforestation and unsafe agriculture processes, it has lost 50% of its original vegetation. And without the destruction being stopped, soon, especially in the next 5 or 10 years, there'll be no going back. And this part of the world that is the most biodiverse part of the world that has so many species that only inhabit there will be gone forever. I've got a question. Is this like a park or is this just like a region of... It's more of just a region. And for years, for centuries, it's just dominated the landscape. It's really close to the Amazon. So in that section of the world, you see a lot of plant species, animals, all types of things. And as of late, it's just been spiraling out of control. Though they're trying to get it under wraps. So just to give you kind of a rundown, the Cerrado is home to 10,400 species of plants, nearly half of which are endemic, which means that it's only native to this area of the world. To go along with this, it has 935 species of birds, 780 species of freshwater fish, 113 amphibians, 180 reptiles, almost 300 mammal species. And if the destruction of this is not lost, we will start to lose groups and some of these species will start to become very endangered very soon. I want to know what the main reason of the destruction is. It's totally industrial. Brazil has terrible sanctions on what can be done with destroying land. Pretty much anyone can claim it at this day and age, which is nuts. They just simply do not care. They're only concerned about the money. As long as you pay, you can take the land. And that's just crazy. It's kind of like going back to the Live Golf Tour, what people would do for a buck. Destroy our world's most precious ecosystem just to do some logging, some ranching. For no good reason. My question to you is, how did you get into this? Because I honestly had no clue about the Cerrado and what was going down there. If you could elaborate how you found out about this and why you're so passionate about it. I've always been somewhat of an environmental junkie. I'm always into recycling, making sure our earth is looking squeaky clean. So I took an environmental issues class both in high school and in college. And both times I talked about the Cerrado. When you hear what's going on in this area of the world, you just can't let it pass by. It's terrible. It's not just affecting South America, but the crazy carbon outputs that are being emitted from the destruction of all these trees is taking a toll on our world as a whole. Carbon outputs are skyrocketing with that. We hear about global warming all the time. Well, this is why, folks. It's like this, where areas of the planet are just being swept out for a quick buck and that's just destroying our entire world's ecosystem. But yeah, learning about this in class, I heard about it and I just really wanted to find out more about what was really going on. Because it needs to be thought through pretty simple with you. So you mentioned it's ranching and what was it? Ranching, logging, pretty much all agricultural, industrial things. How does this affect Brazil's economy? Honestly, sadly, it's pretty good for their economy. That's the problem. They really don't have a lot of money in general. That's what I'm saying. They're doing all this just for a quick buck and it's been going on since the 1980s. Well, now, since 2013, 2014, people are starting to realize, what the? What's going on here? It's starting to finally be noticed and a lot of the environmental junkies around the world are really banging together to kind of, you know, put a hold on it. It's unfortunate that it takes that to get people to realize. That's what I'm saying. Who hates little animals? Little birdies, little fish? I just don't see it at some point. No one's really being held responsible for it. The Brazil government, the World Wildlife Foundation has started to step in, kind of, and start to try to hold them more accountable and that's the only real responsibility that's being held right now is through the World Wildlife Foundation. I mean, yeah. I'd say for all that land, there's just so much. There's just too much land to kind of spread out. Regulation. Yeah. It's hard to enforce. Yeah. Ever since, like you said, 2013, 2014 more and more people are starting to realize that it's actually not a real thing. I mean, if you could just give an example, the weather. Every season, the weather is a little different. There was snow here the last couple of years. I feel like that's definitely something that needs to be kind of realized. This is not normal. This is not normal at all. Has Brazil's government thought about making this a national park, what we did with Yellowstone? You know, I was looking into it and it's kind of like the Brazilian government is really not keen on posting a lot about this. They're trying to kind of keep this low key. But that's a really good idea. I actually really like the day you presented it. And I think that that's a really good solution. I think the problem with that is they're not making as much money as they'd like to. I think that the ranchers, loggers, the industrialists are paying them the quick bucks. But you'll still make money off it being a park but I think that they're so greedy. I think that a plant species in the Cerrado is twice as likely to go extinct as plant species in other parts of Brazil and Amazonia. Which is just crazy because they're focusing in on this one part of land. It's also just all the pesticides and everything else. It's awful, dude. It's awful for our environment. Even with regulations, you still can't stop people. I mean, not just the industrial part but you get people that are poachers. Yeah. I've seen a lot in that area. I know there's people that want lions. They kill lions and all that stuff. I've seen a lot of stuff. There's a lot of wildlife groups that go out there and try to protect those things but that area is just so hard to protect. Well, people forget also that there's a native people that don't really interact with our whole world that live in these parts and they're being forced out of their homes that they've held for 10,000 years. And do you think they're getting any money or anything? And that's just inhumane at that point. Of course, we value people. We value our plants, our animals, our ecosystems. But to the point where you're just abandoning these people and giving them basically no rights and just telling them to pack up and leave to a land that they've held ancestrally for thousands of years, I just think that's crazy. And it's just hard for me to wrap my head around. Like I said, you hear all about the plants and everything being taken away but what really people don't hear about is the people living out there that are being kind of kicked out of their own land. I really want to know what you think the solution to this is. Yeah, so kind of looking at it, I don't think there's any real super fast solution but what really needs to be put in place is through the Brazilian government. That's how that change is going to be made. They need to start putting some regulations on how much land can be taken per year, what groups can take it. There needs to be a lot more extensive kind of like, not necessarily background checks but more like knowing what people are going to be doing with specific parts of land. And I feel like through that you'll kind of have a better understanding of what's really going on and it'll be able to slow down. You're not going to be able to fully stop it right now. It's going to take probably 20, 30 years. But if we can just get a hold on it and just kind of slow it down, I think that we can kind of band together and really make a change. How do you think that we can bring more light to this to the public? Honestly, in this day and age, I feel like social media has got to be the one you use. I think people need to start taking to the good old TikTok. We joke about it a lot, but I think this needs to be shown, given more light, especially on social media where people are going to see and you've got to love your social justice warriors who are going to be posting that and spreading the good word. So you've got to love them in that situation. But yeah, we've got to put a stop to this and if not, the destruction will be universal and that's that. So, on that note, we're packing up our suitcases, we're boarding the plane, and we're heading back to the USA. And we're going to talk to my good friend, Chris, about what is going on with football success or even sports success in general and how it affects admissions rates. Yeah, so basically what I wanted to figure out, because there's so many examples with football and other than basketball, I mostly did most of my research on football, but as March Madness kind of happened, if you guys saw that tournament, wow. You have teams like Fairleigh Dickinson you probably have never heard of unless you're from the state of New Jersey being probably one of the biggest schools in the entire country in Brazil. And we have teams like Florida Atlantic. That's what I'm interested to hear about Florida Atlantic. Florida Atlantic, I mean, in Boca Raton, Florida. It's a beautiful place. I think Fairleigh, one of the examples I'm going to mention, is just going to make so much money and make a lot, make their campus just way better in general for their students, their faculty, everything, because the NCAA is so much money, it seems that way. And I think everybody loves a nice little underdog story like FDU or TCU, frogs, come on. Yeah, I mean, I mean, I think everybody knows our success. I mean, I've been here the regular season. College football playoff brought us, I mean, we benefited probably so much than people actually know. If you just look at regular decision applicants from 2022, from our year, to 2023, the next year. I'm interested. I've heard so much. I've actually done research on this. In early decisions, regular decisions are out because people are still deciding on colleges, but for early decision, early action, there was an increase of 40% more applicants. Wow. And the rumor going around for regular decisions is that there was 30,000. I heard, yeah, I heard a rumor. I, since I go to TCU, I want all my friends from California to come here, right? It all applies to none of them guys. What's going on? Yeah. Based on those numbers, there's anywhere from 26 to 20,000 applicants, which is a huge increase. And even a 26 to 40,000 applicants would make our acceptance rate this past year 6 to 8%. That's crazy. We're looking like Harvard. Which is going to make us look great in the future because we got in a little earlier. Yeah, I mean, with those students also coming in, there's also so much money that's coming in from the NCAA, which is going to affect the actual quality of the students. Hopefully, they can put some of that money in the blue, but that's another conversation for another time. Or the wifi. Or the wifi. There's stuff that should be improved. We could have a whole separate podcast. Yeah, that could be definitely another outreach project, but I mean, most of the money is probably going to go to our facilities, our other sports teams like basketball, baseball, and it's also going to increase the quality of teachers that come into the school. So they're going to be hiring more and more prestigious professors and other faculty members, and that's just going to make the quality of students and their experience at TCU just a whole lot better. Yeah, so kind of to attest to that point, so one of my professors was telling me that before we won the Rose Bowl in what, 2011? 2011, yeah. 2011. Same thing happened. She was saying that her classes were always kids that were only from Texas. They were like, Texas, some Oklahoma, and that was about it. We win the Rose Bowl in 2011, bang, everything changes. We get kids from California, Chicago, New York, Florida, wherever, whenever. It's all about the exposure, like you said. So I'm just curious monetarily, I don't know if you know, I'm just curious, how much money are they giving us? It's a multi-billion dollar industry. It's a multi-billion dollar industry, you can't really put a number on it, but I mean, it's probably at least nine figures, I'd say, honestly. Wow. That's a whole lot of zeros. Because there's just so much tickets and merchandise and just everything that goes along with it, alumni donations. Yeah. I mean, we just got our new Sadler renovations done. If you haven't seen that building, it's super nice. And they're probably just going to do that to every single building, just keep renovating and renovating. And like, as you said with the Rose Bowl, I'm on the path to being a native, so I literally did not know what TC was. I don't think anybody knew what TC was until they came to the Rose Bowl, because originally they weren't supposed to be in the Rose Bowl, because a word game was supposed to be in it, but they went for an active change just the after the year, so they gave it to the number three team in the country. Because usually it's a Pac-12 team, but the Big Ten team, and at the time I think TC was in the Mountain West, which is not the greatest conference when it comes to football, and I think they just wanted to give us a shot, and they gave us a shot, and we beat Wisconsin. I mean, I remember that game, and I was there. It was just crazy. Nobody really expected that to happen until Wisconsin was favored by a lot of points. Yeah, probably like three scores. Yeah, three scores. But yeah, it definitely put, the Rose Bowl definitely put that on the map for sure, because I don't think anybody for past year was planning to go to Fort Worth any time soon. Usually a lot of the guys just stay local, but it kind of just put us on the map. So, just a question on curiosity, what do you think will happen to a school like FAU, a small-ish school making the Final Four? Who knows? They win their next game in the National Championship, they pull a TCU. If they, I mean, Final Four is still the equivalent of making the college football playoff, I agree, yeah. In the Final Four, honestly, it's probably I don't know if I think it's bigger than the actual college football playoff, but because there's so many fans, and it's the most watched sports event in March, I mean, everybody's tuned into this, and when you see a team like FAU, I thought they were going to lose to Memphis in the first round. They go that far to Fort Atlanta, and not even a smaller school, kind of like a mid-sized school, like San Diego State. San Diego State's probably a little more challenging to get here than it is at TCU, but the quality of students, I mean, they're on the pitch. I feel like all the locations, I mean, Fort Atlanta, Boca Raton, Yeah, Boca Raton is nice. Those schools, because I'm from California, so those schools, like San Diego State, they mostly get in-state out-of-state. A lot of Chicago games have been had in San Diego, but a lot of schools, when stuff like this happens, their admissions rate from other states is crazy. Honestly, out-of-state admissions is pretty much the most effective in the whole thing, when you have a team going out of nowhere, just producing those kind of numbers. These schools are just pouring in money after stuff like this. People are applying to boosters, to alumni, just giving them more money. Yeah, they just have so much money, and they don't really know what to do with it, so hopefully they can put it in the right places. With TCU next year, hopefully we can get some good students. Do you think the spotlight can be a bad thing? Are there any bad aspects? If I can give you an example, I think Oregon would probably be an example. Oregon wasn't really a big school. I mean, it's a public university, but it's not the biggest school in the country. When they started playing with Chip Kelly, they're out in rows, but also it kind of affected the they decided to go to a different group and accept as many students as they can, so that also could be a bad thing, because the quality of students and the actual student growth could be not the best compared to other schools that are smaller and want to stay small, so they want to expand, and it's also a good thing, because it's also more students, more money, but it also could affect the actual quality of the students, and maybe it doesn't look as good on a resume going to a Oregon school compared to a TCU or a Florida Atlantic, but we'll see what Florida Atlantic does. If they want to make their campus huge, want to make it tight-knit, still keep the same amount of students, so we'll see. Only time can tell, boys. Where do you think this money should go that the school is pouring in? I think it should go, I mean, I think you're at college for a reason, to study, but you're also kind of fun, but I think it should go straight to the students and benefit them. What, like, professors is a great example, like, art facilities, cafeteria, I know for sure that, I think TCU is building new freshmen dorms. Really? They're putting a dorm behind me? There's a parking lot over there. I heard about the Panda and the Panera, that'll be good. Yeah, when we don't even have meals for them. We'll see afterwards what's happening, like, $40 million renovations. And a whole lot of four and five stars. Are you seeing a tech house? It's a pretty nice crib. He got a really good deal. He changed the whole thing. Yeah, he's the face of the program now. He's the reason why we're going to be really successful in the next 10-15 years. Yeah, man, it's so great to see this happen, you know, this is a school that we hold close to our hearts at TCU. It's a nice little underdog story, especially that we go here to Winnebago University for work. Well, on that note, I think it's time for us to say our final goodbyes. Thank you for tuning in and hearing about some issues in the world that we hold especially close to our hearts. From the LibGolf Tour in Saudi Arabia, to the destruction of ecosystems in South America, to even our own TCU Horned Frogs getting their success they so, so, so deserve. It was great to have you guys. From Chris Coleco, Tommy Breister, Jackson Ware, Chris Petersock, drive home safe, ladies and gentlemen. Good night.
