Tulsa

You're wearing a hoodie.

It was 102 in Tulsa today.

It's gonna be 99 tomorrow and 100 on Wednesday, so we're still...

You know how it is in Oklahoma, though, and it'll be like 100 degrees, 100 degrees, and then next thing you know, it's gonna be snowing.

We had Jeff Yass from Philadelphia, billionaire, largest investor in TikTok in America, who's a huge school choice advocate.

He spent $12 million to influence the Oklahoma governor's race, and the candidate, Mike Mazey, struggled to raise money.

He borrowed $12 million plus from a bank here in Tulsa to run for governor, and we still came this stinking close.

And, and Gentner, you know, if Gentner was sitting right here, I would, I would say this to him, and I've said it to him before.

You know, you think that because a team got a wake-up call, quote-unquote, in week one, that they're going to just respond because they got, you know, scared and coaches had their attention in practice.

Then you see a team like Oregon go out, almost lose to Boise State, and then lose to Okie State, a team that lost to Tulsa in week one.

So it's not a given that a team just responds because they play poorly in week one.

You got to get – your players got to have accountability.

I think during the break, we were talking with Joe, and Joe, you made the point.

I don't think this game is near as important as the next week's game with the Tulsa, only because...

They're all important.

Yeah, but the expectation, John, is that we got to...

Nobody's expecting us to beat Georgia this weekend.

Maybe nobody's expecting us to even keep it close, but... that Tulsa matchup, although Tulsa did beat Oklahoma State, but we're expected to beat a Tulsa team, so that would be a big blow not to do that one.

Don't you think? That's the tough part about this, John.

This is only week two.

Not a great game, but glad the American won.

your guys down in Tulsa took care of Sam Houston on the road, 23, 17, little close for comfort there, Hutch.

And then Tulane had a tough one, um, against South Alabama, 28, 24, where they got the win.

Hutch, what, what, uh, you know, what stuck out to you in the American this week?

Must have some scary money on that, dude.

No, I didn't put any money on that, thankfully.

And then Tulsa, the Golden Hurricanes.

I told I had to get Josh to give me some of my props last week after they took down Oklahoma state who beat Oregon this week.

My other partner, Steven Watts, who's also my brother, he's five years younger than me.

He has a background in construction development, was running development for a GC developer based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where we all grew up and where we still maintain an office, and then got on his own.

Jay and I were investing in some of those deals and really talking about the build-to-rent opportunity that existed in the marketplace, and ultimately said, hey, this is a deal we want to invest behind, and so we formed Red River Development to do that.

So we did do a great Passive Pockets podcast.

We have six communities today.

We actually, we developed seven.

We sold our first one in January in the Tulsa, Oklahoma market.

So these are the six that we currently manage.

Oklahoma State.

Can somebody give Oklahoma State some credit? Everybody's like, yeah, they lost to Tulsa.

You know, I was like 160 degrees on the turf that day.

So I'm just going to take the season opener with a grain of salt.

She always had cats, loved cats.

She grew up on a farm outside of Yale, Oklahoma, in Payne County, halfway between Stillwater and Tulsa.

Grows up on a farm.

They always had cats.

This dangerous heat dome still not budging from Texas all the way into the southeast.

It's going to feel like 105 in Memphis, same in Tulsa, 92 in Atlanta.

It's going to feel like 91 in Tallahassee.

And look at the next several days into the weekend.

South Carolina, Alabama, that's been a noon kickoff before.

Tulsa, Arkansas, play that thing at 8 a.m. so nobody sees it.

Missouri, Mississippi State.

That's like, I don't get it.
