Speaker 1 (00:03):
Why am I playing this music because someone on the
show is now an official professor of education?
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Is that right?
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Explain please, Rich Barrow.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
I don't know if it's official yet, but I think
it's gonna happen. I think it's I think we're we're
gonna do it. So I visited the broadcast, the new
broadcast wing of GCU yesterday, and they teach all kinds
of stuff. They teach people a lot to get on
like TV for news, for sports, they teach social media,
(00:31):
they teach marketing, they got a music department. It all
kind of works together, but they don't really have anybody
that's helping them teach radio. So I was there yesterday,
start talking and we're making a plan and I'm gonna
step in and.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Do some teaching at GCU.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Seriously, I don't know how often or what it's going
to look like, but I would totally.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Take a class for me, professor. I would not call
you professor bear.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
I asked my wife to start doing that last night,
and she was not down, but I liked it when
she did one time, I'm like, yeah, that sounds cool.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
You have like there's gonna be a clatt like when
people sign up next semester. It'll be whatever basic radio
and it'll be like taught by a rich Barrow.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
It sounds like it's going to be called new media,
and you can get a degree in new media and
you do a lot of stuff. So they have all
kinds of things over there. They have esports. Did you
know They've got a whole esports. They have esports athletes
that's like.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
The gaming right, yeah, on the computers.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
They got a stadium that you can play in everything.
It's really cool. And they've got a music department. They
got all these things that kind of go together. And
if you, let's say you work in marketing, you might
do marketing for the esports team and the broadcast team,
and the broadcast team covers the esports. They've got a
lot of cool gear and they've got a lot of
good ideas. So I will be part of their new
media section. I don't know in what capacity yet, but
(01:46):
we talked about it for like three hours yesterday and
we're all excited about it. So I will help with
the radio side of things, because I don't know that
a lot of people know that you could still get
a job in radio. But you know, our boss was
there too, And she's like, yeah, we got like fifteen
hundreddo stations and most of them have live bodies. But
you don't know what class you're going to teach you. No, yeah,
we're still going to develop it all. But I'll be
(02:06):
part of the broadcast developing the broadcast thing.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Noah on our show is a graduate of that department,
I believe, am I right have a degree in broadcasting
and new media.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
How funny would it have been a bridge? Was It's
going to happen to other people? Now?
Speaker 3 (02:22):
I'd have to ride on a curve if you were
in my class. I guess right.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
I don't know what it is you should do on
you while you're developing your class. You should you know
those the classes always make like big headlines that have
Taylor Swift as part of the curriculum, big artists like that.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Yes, weird to study the dance moves of Tate McCrae
and my class. In fact, that's what you gotta do.
You got to talk up the ramp is what we
call it, like the part of the song before they
start singing. If you're going to be in broadcasting, you
got to learn how to do that.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Okay, But also like Taylor Swift uses the media, that's true,
and you can like rope that into how you as
a person in media can use that, and so on
and so forth.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
No, do you have a briefcase?
Speaker 2 (03:04):
I do not.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Well. Listen, part of my pitch was that you guys
were to come in and guest speak. So you're all
going to have to do it.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Oh, okay, your first day on a chalkboard.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Right, my name is Professor Rich. Professor.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
I love it. This is a good Christmas present idea
for whoever gets rich for secret Santa, a personalized Professor
Barrow briefcase.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Yes, I will say that campus. I didn't know how
huge it was. Have you been there lately?
Speaker 4 (03:30):
No?
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Do you have a jacket with patches on the elbows?
Speaker 2 (03:32):
No?
Speaker 3 (03:32):
I thought about that too. I'm not I'm not prepared
for this. I am not prepared for this. That campus
is massive. So when you're like, well, just meet us
at eleven and I pull up there and I'm like,
this is like, you know, ten blocks long.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Yeah, they have security guards before they let you in.
I used to work Atters could have a great gym there.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
They do. Yet I did not tour the gym. Obviously,
it's a.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Great campus, and they have great students of great professors. Great,
it's a really good school.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
They were telling me they have twenty five thousand students
that live there now, eight thousand needing one hundred thousand online.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
That place is getting joint.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Your class, you don't know, yeah, or I don't think,
but you don't know if you'll be it'll be online
or you'll be in person. You should do in person.
I will do in person, you know. Yeah, they call
it an adjunct Like so you're not an official professor,
but you go there a few times a week.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
And you teach your don't you think.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Shouldn't you come up with the name of the class
that you're gonna be, like, Hey, I'm gonna teach basic
radio whatever radio.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
One on one.
Speaker 3 (04:23):

We just got along yesterday. You're like, yeah, let's do it.
Let's do something. So we're gonna do something. Oh, I
would think it'd be like we need a radio division.
We're bringing this radio guy. We're teaching a radio class.
It's radio like that, you know what I mean? Like,
you're they got they got some sharp kids over there,
because I just went and talked to like, you know,
the marketing class for maybe five minutes, and every single
one of them hit me up on DM and Instagram
(04:45):
already and LinkedIn. There's some sharp kids over there, some shit.
