UC Davis

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.

104

00:04:18,930 --> 00:04:20,930

Oh, okay. Yeah, I can see that.

105

00:04:20,930 --> 00:04:22,696

All right. Let's see.

106

00:04:22,696 --> 00:04:23,230

All right, LeShelle.

107

00:04:23,230 --> 00:04:24,896

Do you have any jokes?

108

00:04:24,896 --> 00:04:26,729

As a matter of fact, I...

109

00:04:26,729 --> 00:04:27,629

All right.

110

00:04:27,629 --> 00:04:28,562

Are you ready?

111

00:04:28,562 --> 00:04:31,195

I guess so.

112

00:04:31,195 --> 00:04:34,195

What did the seed say to the flower?

113

00:04:35,628 --> 00:04:38,627

What did the seed say to the flower?

114

00:04:38,927 --> 00:04:39,361

I don't know.

115

00:04:39,361 --> 00:04:42,127

- What did the seed say to the flower?

- Okay, bloomer.

116

00:04:45,493 --> 00:04:46,493

Well, let me see.

117

00:04:46,493 --> 00:04:49,126

I got one science joke right.

118

00:04:49,126 --> 00:04:52,026

Let's see if you can get one spring joke right.

119

00:04:52,026 --> 00:04:53,492

Can I clarify something before we go on?

120

00:04:53,492 --> 00:04:55,825

Because people think I'm a boomer

and I don't want the “bloomer joke”

121

00:04:55,825 --> 00:04:58,758

to make people think

that I'm actually a boomer.

122

00:04:58,758 --> 00:05:01,858

I'm on the cusp between Boomer and Gen X.

123

00:05:01,891 --> 00:05:04,457

- Okay.

- Continue.

- All right.

124

00:05:04,457 --> 00:05:07,990

Why didn't the professor wear sunglasses

125

00:05:08,357 --> 00:05:10,123

over spring break?

126

00:05:11,956 --> 00:05:14,023

Professors are odd characters.

127

00:05:14,023 --> 00:05:16,189

I know, I am one.

128

00:05:16,189 --> 00:05:19,355

Why didn't they wear sunglasses? Why?

129

00:05:19,388 --> 00:05:20,355

I don't know. Why?

130

00:05:20,355 --> 00:05:23,355

Because their brightest students

weren't around.

131

00:05:26,021 --> 00:05:26,421

Okay.

132

00:05:26,421 --> 00:05:29,320

- These are getting progressively more horrible.

- Okay, we got three more.

133

00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:30,587

Let's see if you could get one.

134

00:05:30,587 --> 00:05:33,586

Okay. More horrible. Each one.

135

00:05:33,953 --> 00:05:37,319

Why couldn't the little flower ride

a bike?

136

00:05:37,686 --> 00:05:40,019

The little flower couldn't ride a bike.

137

00:05:40,019 --> 00:05:40,652

Think about it.

138

00:05:41,719 --> 00:05:42,619

Didn't have pedals.

139

00:05:42,619 --> 00:05:44,952

Oh, you got one!

140

00:05:44,952 --> 00:05:47,218

Alright!

141

00:05:47,218 --> 00:05:48,184

Two more.

142

00:05:48,184 --> 00:05:50,484

- I thought you were done.

- No, no, no, I can't take any more.

143

00:05:50,484 --> 00:05:54,250

Which bird should you never let into a jewelry store?

144

00:05:54,617 --> 00:05:56,117

A jailbird.

145

00:05:56,117 --> 00:05:57,316

That's a good one.

146

00:05:57,316 --> 00:05:58,950

Well, there's no—

Okay, well.

147

00:05:58,950 --> 00:06:03,349

- It’s not right?

- Robin. Robin? Robin. Robbing? Okay.

148

00:06:03,349 --> 00:06:03,916

Last one.

149

00:06:03,916 --> 00:06:04,582

My answer is better.

150

00:06:04,582 --> 00:06:07,348

How do bees brush their hair?

151

00:06:07,348 --> 00:06:09,815

- How do bees brush their hair?

- Think about it.

152

00:06:09,815 --> 00:06:10,848

Think about it.

153

00:06:12,814 --> 00:06:14,147

Carefully. With their stingers.

154

00:06:14,147 --> 00:06:15,081

- I don’t know.

- No, no, no.

155

00:06:15,081 --> 00:06:17,947

What do bees build?

156

00:06:17,947 --> 00:06:19,513

They build hives.

157

00:06:19,513 --> 00:06:21,880

That look like?

158

00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,979

- Honey.

- Yeah! Second part?!

159

00:06:24,979 --> 00:06:26,779

Honey bees.

160

00:06:26,779 --> 00:06:29,479

- They have honeycombs!

- Honeycombs!

161

00:06:29,479 --> 00:06:30,712

I was trying to help you.

162

00:06:30,712 --> 00:06:33,545

I was going to say that next.

163

00:06:33,545 --> 00:06:35,278

- All right. That's it. I think that was it.

164

00:06:35,278 --> 00:06:36,611

That is more than enough. All right.

165

00:06:37,844 --> 00:06:39,044

That's it for this week, too.

166

00:06:39,044 --> 00:06:40,677

So, we'll see you next week, Aggies.

167

00:06:40,677 --> 00:06:42,977

In the meantime,

stay healthy. Stay safe.

Go Ags!
