In this only just barely adjacent to homecoming edition of Dave by the Bell, Dave and University Communications intern Madi chat it up with almost always friendly passersby and pose the question, "If you could live anywhere on campus that was not a residence hall, where would you live?"   

 

 

Transcript:

 

Dave Blanks:

Madi, you're our intern.

 

Madi:

I am.

 

Dave Blanks:

And we're going to do a Dave by the Bell.

 

Madi:

We are.

 

Dave Blanks:

What are we talking about?

 

Madi:

Well, did we decide what we're talking about?

 

Dave Blanks:

Yeah, yeah. I think we finally landed on an idea.

 

Madi:

Did we land on the roommate idea?

 

Dave Blanks:

No, we're not doing the roommate idea.

 

Madi:

Oh.

 

Dave Blanks:

But we will do that one in the future.

 

Madi:

Okay.

 

Dave Blanks:

No, no, no. We're not going to do the roommate. We're going to do-

 

Madi:

If you could live anywhere on campus.

 

Dave Blanks:

Yes.

 

Madi:

That's not your residence hall/dorm room...

 

Dave Blanks:

Right.

 

Madi:

...where would you live and why?

 

Dave Blanks:

Yeah, that was it. Good job. Perfect. So, yeah. Do you want to go to Sanford Mall?

 

Madi:

I sure do.

 

Dave Blanks:

Okay, let's do that.

I usually just find a person and go, "Hey, excuse me." Like this guy.

 

Madi:

Hey, you want to be in our podcast?

 

Anonymous Solarium Lover:

No, that's okay.

 

Dave Blanks:

Oh, come on man. Do you want to hear the question and then say yes or no.

 

Anonymous Solarium Lover:

Okay.

 

Dave Blanks:

All right. All right. So the question is, if you could live somewhere on campus, where would it be and why? So is there a little spot that's your spot? That's your go-to?

 

Anonymous Solarium Lover:

Oh, God. The Solarium.

 

Dave Blanks:

Yeah. Okay.

 

Anonymous Solarium Lover:

I love that.

 

Dave Blanks:

Why would you live in the Solarium?

 

Anonymous Solarium Lover:

It's very peaceful.

 

Dave Blanks:

Right?

 

Anonymous Solarium Lover:

I really like it.

 

Dave Blanks:

Right.

 

Anonymous Solarium Lover:

It's very calming.

 

Dave Blanks:

It's like the opposite of this moment.

 

Anonymous Solarium Lover:

Yes, exactly.

 

Quin Hernandez:

I'm Quinn Hernandez. There's a little lookout up by Greenwood.

 

Dave Blanks:

Okay.

 

Quin Hernandez:

I like looking over it, specifically in the wintertime, because the snow makes it really bright and you can ... The stadium lights up everything.

 

Dave Blanks:

Okay. All right. You would live up there?

 

Quin Hernandez:

Yeah.

 

Dave Blanks:

Because it's beautiful.

 

Quin Hernandez:

Yeah, it's really pretty up there.

 

Madi:

What a lovely answer.

 

Dave Blanks:

I know. That was so good.

 

Madi:

She was ready.

 

Andrea Martinez:

I'm Andrea Martinez. Ooh. I would probably live at Walmart.

 

Dave Blanks:

Wait, wait, wait. That's not on campus. Andrea.

 

Andrea Martinez:

Technically it's not, but it is

 

Dave Blanks:

It's on the Appalcart stop.

 

Andrea Martinez:

Yes.

 

Dave Blanks:

So in that respect, I mean, it is definitely a part of your student life, right?

 

Andrea Martinez:

Yeah, definitely.

 

Dave Blanks:

Okay. But with all the options, explain to me why you would live at Walmart.

 

Andrea Martinez:

Well, I mean, it's just a place I frequent a lot.

 

Dave Blanks:

Okay.

 

Andrea Martinez:

But it's also got everything.

 

Dave Blanks:

Okay.

 

Andrea Martinez:

You've got a TV.

 

Dave Blanks:

Yes.

 

Andrea Martinez:

You've got blankets, you've got food. It's the perfect place.

 

Dave Blanks:

I knew you were thinking like that. It's very practical of you. All right. Well, thank you for your answer and have a great day. Are you headed ... Where you headed?
