Speaker 1 (00:07):
In our number two of the program just after five o'clock.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
It is the Indie Average Show.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Along with our producer of the program, Michael Bartlett and
audio disseminator Ty Sutchick. Today, thank you for being with
us before I get to the incredibly overrated non list.
Today from Time Magazine, UTSA sent out a news thing
that's going to happen. Oh, the student section at all
(00:33):
UTSA home athletic events from henceforward will have a new identity.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
It will be known as the Bird Cage. AH.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Now the basketball arena at the Convocation Center and the
UTSA Tennis Center have had references in the past to
being at the Bird Cage, but that is going to
take a place where there's a student section at every
home event, so that would be softball, baseball, volleyball, basketball, soccer,
and men's women's basketball and out the Alamo Dome.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Cool.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
And they sent this out today, the statement from Lisa
compos Our student athletes love playing in front of their
peers and the energy that our student body creates it
makes our teams hard to beat at home. We're excited
to provide an enhanced student experience in our games and
this upcoming season with the introduction of the bird cage.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
So that's cool.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
That is cool because up until a couple of weeks ago,
when Pat Evans filled in for you, I did not
know that the baseball field bath was called the bird bath.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Used to flood a lot.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Yeah, maybe it still does, but hadn't rained here in forever,
so we wouldn't know.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
So that's why I was like, at some point that
the Alamo Dome needs to be either called the bird
Dome or the bird Bowl, one or the other.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Yeah, I think we need to work on that. I'm
not sold on either one. Well, I'm doing my best.
I'm doing my best.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
So I'm still waiting for doctor Compos to call you
or shoot you a text and be like, can you
tell that idiot on the radio saying that I'm going
to do things.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
If they if they, if people were, maybe you're giving
him ideas for the peatre. You never know. I'm here
to help Doctor Carpos.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Colin Coward started his show today, as did Gottlieb, with
this Time magazine Most Influential List, and the story in
there is that there's two w NBA players on the
on the list Kalen cor No that would be Breonna
Stewart and if he should call you very good basketball players.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
But the reason that they were told that they.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Were on the list of most influential is they're now
going to participate in the three on three league. First
of all, this list is absolutely worthless to me. When
you talk about influential, they don't break it out into categories,
but we'll just settle on the on the sports categories.
Serena was on there, a bunch of worthy, yeah, very worthy,
Simoan Biles absolutely very worthy. But basically when I when
(02:54):
I think of influential, it is making people watch you
or making people want to be you want to be like,
especially kids. If they see Somemone Biles win a bunch
of Olympic medals, there's a seven year old gymnast out
there that wants to be the next Simone Biles and
the same thing with Serena Williams or or male athletes.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
That to me is what influential means.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
My guess is this influential also means now how many
people follow you on Twitter, Instagram, whatever else, Well you
would think, and so you have influence on people based
on how many people are actually talking to you.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
All right, if that's the way it is. That's fine.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
But here's who's not on the list. Taylor and Clark
is one, which I'll get to in a second. Taylor
Swift is not on this list. Is one of the entertainers.
She's the most important entertainer on the planet. And if
she sells out every show every time she has it,
and the aftermarket tickets are ridiculously.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
High, and if you go by your standards of if
you want to talk about social media relevancy, don't know
what hers is, but I'm sure it's well over ten
million or however many million around Lady Gaga. I'm sure
Lady Gaga would be on there as well.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
The Tiger's not on this list, and he's still the
most relevant golfer on the planet.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
He wins the Turn of the Tourist p IP thing
every year.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
There's literally a picture of him in the dictionary next
to the word needle. Exactly, it's it's Tiger, It's Eldrick Tiger.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Needle.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Would if if Tiger would have been doing what Rory
was doing the other day, haudigence.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Would have even been bigger than that.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
That would have been quadrupled. So especially if he had
won absolutely. Patrick Mahomes and Lebron James are not on
this list. Shaq is not on this list. He's on
every commercial on TV. You can't watch a sporting event
without seeing Shaq fifteen times during the game.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
How was mister Swift himself not on this list as well?
As much as I can't stand.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
For Andy Reid and the entire Chiefs organization, But anyway,
Colin was talking today about the fact that kayle and
Clark is not on this list and as good as
players as Nafisia Collier and Breonna Stewart are, and for
that matter, half the rest of the league. Because Caitlin
is a good player, but she's not the best player.
(05:12):
But she's the ticket that's making people now be aware
of who the good players are. And this goes back
to the conversation we've had ad nauseum for the last
eight or nine months.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Stop hating the player.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
You know, you may not like the game, but stop
hating the person who is actually making your sport the
most relevant that it's ever been. I go back and say,
I like the WNBA the first time I walked into
the arena and called one of their games.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
And if the Stars were still.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
In town, I would hopefully be still doing a part
of that. But it is the WNBA has stepped on
itself so many times and has had such lack of
quality leadership when it comes to marketing that when they
finally have their ace, they have the ace and the
royal flush to play every time, they don't want to
(06:03):
do it because, oh my goodness, somebody's feelings might get hurt.
Nobody cares about your feelings. Do you do you think
that the person that frontch for Taylor Swift cares that
Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Is more popular.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
No, I get to play in front of Taylor Swift,
and I'm going to get really rich because of her,
and as great of a player as Asia Wilson is,
and she's the best women's basketball player currently on the planet,
there aren't fifteen people out of one hundred that care
about her more than they do Caitlyn Clark for whatever
reason that they choose Caitlyn Clark. And I think sometimes
(06:41):
and I don't like to talk about the DEI stuff.
That's a political thing that I try to avoid, but
I think that sometimes we get so caught up in
making sure that nobody's feelings get hurt that we ignore
the obvious, and I think everybody has the right intention
to not want to intentionally hurt somebody. But Caitlin Clark
is driving the ratings for the WNBA, and Colin made
(07:04):
a great point today.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
I like baseball, and on.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
An average Tuesday night, when I flip through the channels
and there's nothing else on TV, I'll watch for at
least a little while whoever's playing baseball. I don't care
who it is. But most of the nation cares about
the Yankees, the Dodgers, and now that Soto's on the Mets,
the Mets, occasionally the Cubs because of the history of
the Cubs. Maybe if you're in the South Atlanta, that's
(07:31):
about it. That's who the networks want to put on TV.
That's why Boston and New York will be on Sunday
Night Baseball as often as they can possibly play, because
the whole world will watch them.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Where play.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Every radio station that plays music plays the hits. You
determine the hits as an audience, and if you want
to hear Taylor Swift and the radio station doesn't play it,
you're going to find a radio station that does.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
You play the hits whether it's talk.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Radio, sports, talk radio, music radio, a television show, or
a basketball game, and for whatever reason, the hit is
Caitlin Clark. Get over the fact that, for whatever reason
you don't like her, or you think she's getting too
much much publicity, or you think you got to put
her in her place. You've now got a private plane
to fly to all.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Of your games.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Your rookies are going to get a bigger contract in
the future, Your max contracts are bigger now, your readers
are fuller, all because of one person. Ride that wave.
As long as that wave is standing. I don't understand
why people don't want to do that. And I take
nothing against the Nofiicia Collier or Breonna Stewart. They're fabulous players,
(08:36):
but they're not as impactful in sports as Kaitlyn Clark is.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Yeah, you know, and it's no disrespect to Paige Beckers
and Juju Watkins, but if not for Kaitlin Clark, at
least for me. I don't really know who Paige Beckers
is because obviously she got hurt last year. I knew
the name, but I was just like, okay, it's just
another Yukon player. They're probably going to be really good,
because that's what you UKHN does. They push players out.
(09:02):
But I know who Page Beckers is. I've watched some
of the games and I'm like, damn, she's really good, okay.
And because of them, Juju Watkins is probably gonna be
the next potential Caitlin Clark as well.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
A lot of people made a big deal about it,
the fact that the NCAA Women's Final Four this year
had four point nine million viewers, which was ten million
down from fourteen point nine that Caitlyn Clark had. But
four point nine the only other thing that they were
going up against was the Texas Open, and the Texas
Open had.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Almost two million.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
So what the women's basketball tournament did is it took
sports fans away from the Texas Open and to their event.
Because if you go back to twenty to twenty two
to twenty one, twenty pre Kaitlyn Clark, their numbers were
eight hundred thousand, a million, seven hundred thousand, but Caitlyn
Clark made it fourteen million, and at least a portion
(09:57):
of those people are sticking around and not watching something
else when the Women's in Cuba tournament is on, Well.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Wasn't it as well? The unfortunate road. Wasn't the w
or the the Women's College back? Wasn't it on ESPN this.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Year as well? No, it's on ABC on Sunday. He
was on ESPN. But but see that that also hurts
it as well.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Absolutely, it's not on Normal, but it was on It
didn't go on ABC until the first Angel reaches Caitlin Clark.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
That was the first ABC game.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
It got like nine million, and then last year when
Iowa lost to South Carolina, it got like fourteen million,
with a peak of seventeen million.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
There's another potential who's not on this list that should
be Don Daily. Yes, Gino Rima.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Yeah, Now, I don't know if you watch basketball because
of Geno Rima. I think, to me, influential means you
either watch me because I'm me or you want to
be me because I'm me, And that to me is
what influence is. Now, maybe it's more, but there's names
on this list that are actors and actresses that you know,
we're acting an actor thing anymore.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Yeah, and it's no disrespect, but Adrian Brody is on
this list. The last time, the last thing that I
know Adrian Brody do is he was in uh one
of I think it was like one of the remakes
or reboots of one of the Predator movies.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
And I know he's I want to say he wanted
to miss out one too.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
He won an oscar for I think the movie was
called The Pianist where he was the piano player. But
other than that, and I love I love Scarlett Johansson.
She's my Storley's then, but I mean, come on, Scarlett Johansson.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Really, maybe she's like like a million followers on Instagram
or something like Lively.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
I love Blake Lively, but the only reason Blake Lively is.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I guess somewhat. Yes, she's a very good actress, but.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
I'm more of a fan of her husband exactly, Ryan Reynolds.
He's funny, by the way, Ryan Reynolds, you want to
talk about when when you're talking about relationship wise, he
didn't go down or up, he went sidew because I
don't know if you remember this, he was dating Scarlett
Johansson at one point and then it went from scar
Joe to Blake Lively.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
So Canada, baby, there you go. Scoreboard for Ryan, record
board for Ryan Reynolds. Man.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Yeah, all right, So anyway we may Colin made a
big deal out of the list. I understand why, because
I understand the WNBA wants to be protective of the
stars that have come before Caitlin Clark, and they want
the stars want so badly to be recognized.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
But I don't care. I think Asia Wilson.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
More people know Asia Wilson is in the last two
years than knew about her ever before, thanks to Caitlin Clark,
and every player in that league that's getting what they're
getting now needs to think her because she's bringing revenue
to the league. The league still loses twenty million thirty
million dollars a year, and it's still somewhat subsidized by
the NBA, even though most of the teams are at
(12:46):
least half the teams in the NBA don't really have
an affiliation, like the Atlanta Dream and the Atlanta Hawks
are different organizations, and CL's by itself, and the team
in Connecticut has always been by itself. I think the
Liberty and Knixer together, and the Sparks and the Lakers
and the Links and the Timberwolves, the Suns and the Mercury.
The Chicago is not the scent not together. Indiana is
(13:10):
so they're about half the teams are Dallas is not.
About half the teams are together and about half the
teams around. I don't know what the relationship is with
the Valkyries and the Warriors.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
I think I think that I think they are. I
think they're there. I think they are.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
They play the same and just because they play in
the same building doesn't necessarily mean make a difference. But
the fact that half the teams in the league are
playing in bigger venues so they can sell more tickets.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
When Kaitlyn Clark comes to.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Town, is is evident that she is the needle for
the for the w NBA.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Yeah, for women's basketball, and the two the two.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Not that I care how many women or male athletes
are on this list, but the two male athletes that
are on this list, the only one that was from
the NFL is Jalen Hurts. Really, the only the only
reason people care about Jalen Hurts or know about Jalen
Hurts is because it's a stupid tush push and that
the Eagles won the Super Bowl this year.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
And then the other one.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Is the the young twenty two year old swimmer Leon.
I don't even know how to say his last name.
But the only reason he's I wouldn't even say famous
or influential. But the only reason people know him is
because he's being compared to possibly the next Michael Phelps.
But but, but Pat Mahomes is exactly still more relevant
(14:24):
than all of them put together.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
So is including Jalen Hurts, so is Kelse, mister Swift,
Travis Kelsey.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Yeah, yeah, so for that matter, For that matter, Tom
Brady's still more relevant than than Jalen Hurts. Zach Prescott
is more relevant than plays for the Star. Damn right
because he plays for Murka. Yeah, now, yes, it does.
All right, let's talk in Iel next. I checked the
portal a little while ago. Nobody else from UTSA has left.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
I don't know that. We'll see.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
We got another week and a half to determine who's
going and who's staying. But a lot of players are
not told the truth, and maybe parents are as aunts
out there could relate some stories to their kids that
are potentially going to be NIL participants soon and some
of the traps to avoid. We'll talk about that next.
It's the Andy Everett Show on the Ticket
In our number two of the program just after five o'clock.

least for me. I don't really know who Paige Beckers
is because obviously she got hurt last year. I knew
the name, but I was just like, okay, it's just
another Yukon player. They're probably going to be really good,
because that's what you UKHN does. They push players out.
(09:02):
But I know who Page Beckers is. I've watched some
of the games and I'm like, damn, she's really good, okay.
And because of them, Juju Watkins is probably gonna be
the next potential Caitlin Clark as well.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
A lot of people made a big deal about it,
the fact that the NCAA Women's Final Four this year
had four point nine million viewers, which was ten million
down from fourteen point nine that Caitlyn Clark had. But
four point nine the only other thing that they were
going up against was the Texas Open, and the Texas
Open had.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Almost two million.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
So what the women's basketball tournament did is it took
sports fans away from the Texas Open and to their event.
Because if you go back to twenty to twenty two
to twenty one, twenty pre Kaitlyn Clark, their numbers were
eight hundred thousand, a million, seven hundred thousand, but Caitlyn
Clark made it fourteen million, and at least a portion
(09:57):
of those people are sticking around and not watching something
else when the Women's in Cuba tournament is on, Well.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Wasn't it as well? The unfortunate road. Wasn't the w
or the the Women's College back? Wasn't it on ESPN this.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Year as well? No, it's on ABC on Sunday. He
was on ESPN. But but see that that also hurts
it as well.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Absolutely, it's not on Normal, but it was on It
didn't go on ABC until the first Angel reaches Caitlin Clark.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
That was the first ABC game.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
It got like nine million, and then last year when
Iowa lost to South Carolina, it got like fourteen million,
with a peak of seventeen million.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
There's another potential who's not on this list that should
be Don Daily. Yes, Gino Rima.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Yeah, Now, I don't know if you watch basketball because
of Geno Rima. I think, to me, influential means you
either watch me because I'm me or you want to
be me because I'm me, And that to me is
what influence is. Now, maybe it's more, but there's names
on this list that are actors and actresses that you know,
we're acting an actor thing anymore.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Yeah, and it's no disrespect, but Adrian Brody is on
this list. The last time, the last thing that I
know Adrian Brody do is he was in uh one
of I think it was like one of the remakes
or reboots of one of the Predator movies.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
And I know he's I want to say he wanted
to miss out one too.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
He won an oscar for I think the movie was
called The Pianist where he was the piano player. But
other than that, and I love I love Scarlett Johansson.
She's my Storley's then, but I mean, come on, Scarlett Johansson.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Really, maybe she's like like a million followers on Instagram
or something like Lively.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
I love Blake Lively, but the only reason Blake Lively is.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I guess somewhat. Yes, she's a very good actress, but.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
I'm more of a fan of her husband exactly, Ryan Reynolds.
He's funny, by the way, Ryan Reynolds, you want to
talk about when when you're talking about relationship wise, he
didn't go down or up, he went sidew because I
don't know if you remember this, he was dating Scarlett
Johansson at one point and then it went from scar
Joe to Blake Lively.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
So Canada, baby, there you go. Scoreboard for Ryan, record
board for Ryan Reynolds. Man.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Yeah, all right, So anyway we may Colin made a
big deal out of the list. I understand why, because
I understand the WNBA wants to be protective of the
stars that have come before Caitlin Clark, and they want
the stars want so badly to be recognized.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
But I don't care. I think Asia Wilson.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
More people know Asia Wilson is in the last two
years than knew about her ever before, thanks to Caitlin Clark,
and every player in that league that's getting what they're
getting now needs to think her because she's bringing revenue
to the league. The league still loses twenty million thirty
million dollars a year, and it's still somewhat subsidized by
the NBA, even though most of the teams are at
(12:46):
least half the teams in the NBA don't really have
an affiliation, like the Atlanta Dream and the Atlanta Hawks
are different organizations, and CL's by itself, and the team
in Connecticut has always been by itself. I think the
Liberty and Knixer together, and the Sparks and the Lakers
and the Links and the Timberwolves, the Suns and the Mercury.
The Chicago is not the scent not together. Indiana is
(13:10):
so they're about half the teams are Dallas is not.
About half the teams are together and about half the
teams around. I don't know what the relationship is with
the Valkyries and the Warriors.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
I think I think that I think they are. I
think they're there. I think they are.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
They play the same and just because they play in
the same building doesn't necessarily mean make a difference. But
the fact that half the teams in the league are
playing in bigger venues so they can sell more tickets.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
When Kaitlyn Clark comes to.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Town, is is evident that she is the needle for
the for the w NBA.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Yeah, for women's basketball, and the two the two.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Not that I care how many women or male athletes
are on this list, but the two male athletes that
are on this list, the only one that was from
the NFL is Jalen Hurts. Really, the only the only
reason people care about Jalen Hurts or know about Jalen
Hurts is because it's a stupid tush push and that
the Eagles won the Super Bowl this year.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
And then the other one.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Is the the young twenty two year old swimmer Leon.
I don't even know how to say his last name.
But the only reason he's I wouldn't even say famous
or influential. But the only reason people know him is
because he's being compared to possibly the next Michael Phelps.
But but, but Pat Mahomes is exactly still more relevant
(14:24):
than all of them put together.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
So is including Jalen Hurts, so is Kelse, mister Swift,
Travis Kelsey.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Yeah, yeah, so for that matter, For that matter, Tom
Brady's still more relevant than than Jalen Hurts. Zach Prescott
is more relevant than plays for the Star. Damn right
because he plays for Murka. Yeah, now, yes, it does.
All right, let's talk in Iel next. I checked the
portal a little while ago. Nobody else from UTSA has left.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
I don't know that. We'll see.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
We got another week and a half to determine who's
going and who's staying. But a lot of players are
not told the truth, and maybe parents are as aunts
out there could relate some stories to their kids that
are potentially going to be NIL participants soon and some
of the traps to avoid. We'll talk about that next.
