It's a pleasure to join you, guys. 29 00:01:12,599 --> 00:01:16,439 Speaker 3: I want to talk about some college football viewership stats 30 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,439 thus far this season for BYU. So I'm going to 31 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,200 give you the data and then i want to get 32 00:01:22,239 --> 00:01:24,879 your reaction to it. Let's start off with you know, 33 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,840 we kind of we feel like BYU is a is 34 00:01:27,879 --> 00:01:31,519 a good brand, a national brand and international brand. 35 00:01:31,879 --> 00:01:33,799 Speaker 1: The viewership over. 36 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 3: The last decade plus led the Big twelve to buy 37 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,239 into BYU's brand. Obviously, they were the first acquisition after 38 00:01:42,359 --> 00:01:46,959 Texas and Oklahoma left and the you know, Bob bowlsby 39 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,239 ended up making a great decision because BYU has been 40 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,280 a brand that the Big twelve and Brett or Mark 41 00:01:53,319 --> 00:01:55,000 have been able to monetize and do a really good 42 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:56,040 job of monetizing. 43 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: So let's take a look at the data. 44 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,319 Speaker 3: Now that boy has been in the league for about 45 00:02:00,359 --> 00:02:03,319 two years, right, two and a half years now. Starting 46 00:02:03,359 --> 00:02:05,879 off the season BYU versus Stanford. This was a ten 47 00:02:05,959 --> 00:02:09,159 twenty two pm kickoff Eastern Time. They were on ESPN 48 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,639 they attracted one point two one million viewers. 49 00:02:13,759 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: Pretty solid numbers. They're not too shabby. 50 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,639 Speaker 3: The next game that they were featured in I believe 51 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,599 this was the BYU East Carolina game six hundred and 52 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:30,199 twenty three thousand on ESPN two, seven thirty five pm 53 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,039 Eastern kickoff. So six hundred and twenty three thousand, not bad, 54 00:02:34,439 --> 00:02:38,520 you know, not too shabby. Uh, nothing to maybe write 55 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,319 home about though. By versus Colorado has been the most 56 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,599 highly viewed game, actually second ies viewed game for BYU 57 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,360 BYU Colorado on ESPN. It's a late night kick, but 58 00:02:49,439 --> 00:02:53,439 you got prime there. Ten to fifteen pm kickoff Eastern okay, 59 00:02:53,479 --> 00:02:57,080 two point four to six million on the mothership ESPN. 60 00:02:57,479 --> 00:03:02,560 West Virginia BYU ten thirty pm Eastern kickoff on ESPN. 61 00:03:03,039 --> 00:03:06,039 Speaker 1: One point four to one million viewers. 62 00:03:06,319 --> 00:03:12,159 Speaker 3: Okay, BYU versus Arizona, eight pm Eastern time kickoff on 63 00:03:12,599 --> 00:03:16,039 ESPN two eight hundred and sixty eight thousand, So just 64 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:20,599 to hair under one million viewers per the Nielsen ratings. 65 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,120 Then okay, as we're getting in later, will use getting 66 00:03:24,159 --> 00:03:27,439 some momentum here, right, winning some football games they're ranked 67 00:03:27,439 --> 00:03:29,400 you wonder, okay, if there're gonna be a correlation here. 68 00:03:29,719 --> 00:03:33,360 Let's look at the Holy War on Fox Okay BYU 69 00:03:33,479 --> 00:03:38,599 versus Utah eight pm kickoff Eastern Time, one point nine 70 00:03:38,639 --> 00:03:41,120 to seven million. Some people were like, oh, man, I 71 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:42,800 thought it'd be more than that, right, I thought it'd 72 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:43,360 be more than not. 73 00:03:43,879 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: Everyone's familiar with. 74 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,319 Speaker 3: The grand juror and greatness of the Holy War, but 75 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,439 they may not know now, but they about to find out, 76 00:03:51,719 --> 00:03:55,360 hopefully in the years to come. And then the most 77 00:03:55,439 --> 00:04:02,159 recent Okay on Fox Okay BYU Iowa State, This was 78 00:04:02,479 --> 00:04:04,680 a pretty gosh dang good viewership. 79 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:06,159 Speaker 1: Now it was. 80 00:04:07,639 --> 00:04:11,759 Speaker 3: It was one thirty pm Mountain time kick three thirty 81 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,080 Eastern times, so it was maybe a better time slot 82 00:04:14,599 --> 00:04:15,759 by versus Iowa State. 83 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:17,519 Speaker 1: Viewership two point six million. 84 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,399 Speaker 3: So I give you all those numbers and want to 85 00:04:20,439 --> 00:04:22,639 get your reaction and let's talk about this. 86 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,319 Speaker 2: Yeah, it is interesting. I like the breakdown. 87 00:04:27,519 --> 00:04:30,879 Speaker 4: It's it's cool to get a feel for what's happening, 88 00:04:30,959 --> 00:04:34,680 especially outside of Utah. It sounds like in Colorado would 89 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,879 have been our number one game, no Iowa State in Colorado, 90 00:04:38,079 --> 00:04:41,519 and then the Holy War number three as far as viewership, 91 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,519 which leads me to believe that yes, this Holy war 92 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,839 is important to us inside the bubble, you might say, 93 00:04:48,959 --> 00:04:52,360 here in the Rocky Mountain West, but we've still got 94 00:04:52,639 --> 00:04:56,399 ways to go on to being more readily recognized outside 95 00:04:56,399 --> 00:05:00,680 of the country. But to me, by you be considered 96 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,279 a buy stock, meaning I feel like there's some upside 97 00:05:04,439 --> 00:05:06,680 with these numbers. I'm kind of surprised I would have 98 00:05:06,759 --> 00:05:10,240 guessed Utah number one, but to know that they're number three, 99 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:12,959 and it sounds like we've got a lot of room 100 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,519 to continue to grow in viewership and hopefully increase the 101 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:16,360 national brand. 102 00:05:16,519 --> 00:05:19,199 Speaker 2: So lots of upside with the Coodes. 103 00:05:19,199 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 4: It sounds like from a national level, and especially with 104 00:05:21,399 --> 00:05:22,959 these viewership numbers. 105 00:05:22,759 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 3: There's no doubt that they're fulfilling a role for the 106 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:32,079 late night slots for Fox and ESPN, but you give 107 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:36,319 them a more prestigious slot in the midday in the 108 00:05:36,439 --> 00:05:40,079 early afternoon, and they're pulling some really good numbers. They're 109 00:05:40,079 --> 00:05:44,079 pulling some solid numbers right now now he's at Ole, 110 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,240 Miss Georgia. No, that was a really good number, right 111 00:05:47,879 --> 00:05:51,480 That was a three thirty six pm kickoff for Eastern Time, 112 00:05:52,079 --> 00:05:55,480 nine point seven nine million on ABC. 113 00:05:56,439 --> 00:05:58,600 Speaker 1: But it begs the question, right, So like we were 114 00:05:58,639 --> 00:05:59,319 talking about this. 115 00:05:59,639 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 3: Pat Okay of ESPN stated on his show, we should 116 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:10,199 have been at the Holy War. Okay, we should have 117 00:06:10,399 --> 00:06:13,160 been Week eight at the Holy. 118 00:06:12,959 --> 00:06:14,199 Speaker 1: War in Provo. 119 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,839 Speaker 3: And you know, Fox Big New Kickoff showed up. He 120 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,319 was great for them. We know it wasn't the priority 121 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:24,480 game on the ABC or ESPN because he was on Fox. 122 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: Uh. 123 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 3: But Pat McAfee trying to convince the ESPN executives to 124 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,279 take their talents Game Day talent talents to Provo. 125 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,759 Speaker 1: I thought that was interesting. You know, why would he 126 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:38,959 do that? Do you think. 127 00:06:41,199 --> 00:06:44,279 Speaker 4: He seems to be a proponent for the Kougs based 128 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,160 on what I hear him say in some of the 129 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:50,319 interviews he's done with Kyle van Oi. I like hearing 130 00:06:50,319 --> 00:06:52,319 what he has to say about BYU. And it's probably 131 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,519 going to take a couple of playoff wins for us 132 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,279 to start getting to that next tier. But it sounds 133 00:06:58,319 --> 00:06:59,839 like we're starting to make some noise. I think it's 134 00:07:00,199 --> 00:07:01,600 to hear that from Pat McAfee. 135 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, you getting some love from some national pundits. That 136 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,360 doesn't hurt. Let's transition over some financial stats here. We're 137 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,920 getting into the final stretch of the year, A lot 138 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,399 of people, especially high income professionals, you know, business owners, 139 00:07:14,519 --> 00:07:18,160 entrepreneurs are thinking about those last minute ways to reduce 140 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:22,240 taxes before December thirty. First, playing for your accredited investors, 141 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:27,079 what kinds of tax smart wealth opportunities and strategies should 142 00:07:27,079 --> 00:07:28,319 they be looking at right now? 143 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, we're definitely in the fourth quarter of the game 144 00:07:32,839 --> 00:07:34,600 and of the year, and we like to be looking 145 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:39,040 out the windshield and so making some proactive steps on 146 00:07:39,079 --> 00:07:39,959 behalf of clients. 147 00:07:40,079 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 2: Just today I was meeting with some clients. 148 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 4: We were talking about the required minimum distributions and how 149 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,959 we can do that through charitable contributions and it doesn't 150 00:07:49,199 --> 00:07:54,240 count against their standard deduction, so that gives them some utility, 151 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,800 but also a tax smart wealth play. We also look 152 00:07:57,839 --> 00:08:01,600 at some of our taxed managed accounts, how we can 153 00:08:01,639 --> 00:08:05,000 maximize those for the year that helps get deductions against 154 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,879 their active income, especially for business owners. And then we 155 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,000 use a number of tax smart wealth strategies and investments 156 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,360 that might involve real estate and bonus appreciation, or might 157 00:08:16,399 --> 00:08:21,920 involve fee simple land programs that are helpful in giving 158 00:08:22,439 --> 00:08:27,120 large donations, or even oil and gas programs. Things like 159 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,879 this are helpful for accredited investors to be made aware of. 160 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,840 It doesn't mean that everyone's going to work, but as 161 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,120 an accredited investor, you want to be working with someone 162 00:08:36,159 --> 00:08:41,919 that's bringing to you tax advantaged accredited investments for consideration. 163 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,240 And this is the time of year, it's the fourth quarter, 164 00:08:44,279 --> 00:08:47,159 and we're looking to get a victory to get a dub. 165 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,919 Speaker 3: Yeah, I like that, And look, we in order to 166 00:08:49,919 --> 00:08:51,879 get dubs, you need a playbook, right And I know 167 00:08:51,919 --> 00:08:55,919 you guys have some really good services at Batterwealth, but 168 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,240 do you have like a playbook for our listeners that 169 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,879 they can add says in order to engage in these 170 00:09:02,919 --> 00:09:05,320 tax more wealth advantage strategies. 171 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 2: Absolutely, and this is something that we do for clients. 172 00:09:09,879 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 4: But that we've thought and put together something that we'd 173 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,960 like to extend to ESPN the fan listeners. And it 174 00:09:17,039 --> 00:09:20,919 is a twenty twenty five bander tax smart playbook. It 175 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:25,480 will include case studies, it will include some questions that 176 00:09:25,639 --> 00:09:28,279 listeners can ask themselves to see if it would apply. 177 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,799 But the idea is what are some of your blind spots, 178 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,480 What are some of the tax advantaged or tax smart 179 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,720 wealth strategies that you can be considering. And so this 180 00:09:37,759 --> 00:09:40,519 is a twenty twenty five band or Tax playbook. It 181 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:45,480 includes tax and investment strategies, things for consideration, and most. 182 00:09:45,279 --> 00:09:47,279 Speaker 2: Importantly, I really like the case studies. 183 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 4: These are real life personal situations, things that we've done 184 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,759 with clients and on behalf of clients, and then we 185 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,639 even share some of those outcomes. That way, listeners and 186 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,360 people that review the playbook can go into it with 187 00:09:59,399 --> 00:10:04,000 a strategy, with a plan, and as the old saying goes, 188 00:10:04,799 --> 00:10:06,399 failing to plan is planning to fail. 189 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,519 Speaker 2: And so this is a way we can eliminate that. 190 00:10:08,639 --> 00:10:11,399 Speaker 4: Let's have a plan, Let's have a playbook, and listeners 191 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,200 can go to our website at Banderwealth dot com and 192 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,919 request through the contact us page a copy of the 193 00:10:18,039 --> 00:10:20,720 Bander twenty twenty five tex Smart Wealth Playbook. 194 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:21,639 Speaker 2: We're happy to share it. 195 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 3: Love it, Vanderwilth, Banterwealth dot com.

We shall. 201 00:10:37,919 --> 00:10:40,639 Speaker 3: We appreciate him joining us, Ronald, give me your thoughts 202 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,960 on the uh these data sets that I gave you 203 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,600 on viewership? What stands out to you? What games? What's 204 00:10:47,039 --> 00:10:50,159 your your your commentary to some of these numbers. 205 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,159 Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm not surprised, Ben, I think by your first 206 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,720 comment of why the viewership numbers for the you know 207 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,759 fans call it the Holy War and not where it 208 00:10:58,799 --> 00:11:01,080 should be yet. I mean, look, I told you this 209 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,080 Bratt like, I'm from Big ten Country. I didn't know 210 00:11:04,159 --> 00:11:07,759 anything outside of that, Ben until I got to BYU. 211 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,799 Brad's down there, you know, being from Georgia and Pennsylvania. 212 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,519 So I'm not surprised that that didn't I do agree 213 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,000 with Pat McAfee they miss an opportunity to expand that. 214 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,720 Any time, Ben, you want an opportunity to expand a 215 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,200 brand or get people more notoriety, you have to do 216 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,879 it on the big Boy network. So ESPN did miss 217 00:11:24,879 --> 00:11:27,440 an opportunity there. In my opinion, I think they missed 218 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,879 out on that. But I'm not surprised that the BYU 219 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,759 and Iowa State got that many views. Iowa State been 220 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,799 the fan base travels. That was Bo's toughest road tests. Look, 221 00:11:35,799 --> 00:11:38,679 we're gonna play us. We're gonna play. We played a 222 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,879 sound clip excuse me, earlier in the show regarding you know, 223 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,440 Gus Johnson saying that BA you picked up probably his 224 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,200 most important win on the road against the Cyclones. So 225 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:49,799 I'm not surprised. 226 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:49,919 Speaker 1: By that at all. 227 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 5: BYU has always been known to give viewership in that 228 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,320 late time slot, and to think it had been I 229 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,080 looked at the games after Texas Tech and boy you 230 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,279 were to beat them when they come back home to TCU, 231 00:12:01,519 --> 00:12:03,960 It's looking like BAU is probably going to be in 232 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,679 that night game slot. It's either them or Arizona State 233 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,159 based on demographic. They're an easy eight fifteen kickoff slot 234 00:12:10,159 --> 00:12:13,320 to put them in, so people stay up late watching 235 00:12:14,039 --> 00:12:17,320 in that regard, So I'm not surprised that BYU got 236 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,759 two point six million viewership with Iowa State, so it's 237 00:12:20,759 --> 00:12:23,840 something good. But BYU is an easy pull for late 238 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,639 night kicks in even a primetime game, so they're gonna 239 00:12:26,639 --> 00:12:28,919 continue to have views because you got Cougar fans stand up. 240 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,840 I'm texting people on the East Coast been like it's 241 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,759 one thirty and they're still watching the game. So BYU 242 00:12:33,919 --> 00:12:36,799 always bringing viewership and the big twelve knows that ESPN 243 00:12:36,879 --> 00:12:39,320 knows that Fox knows that. So if they can put 244 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,600 them in a la kickoff time slot, if they can 245 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,519 put them later, they're still going to do it because 246 00:12:43,519 --> 00:12:44,480 they'll bring the most views. 247 00:12:44,639 --> 00:12:46,799 Speaker 1: Let's take a brief time out. We'll be back though. 248 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 3: You're listening to Cougar Sports on your one oh three 249 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,799 nine ninety eight point three ESPN dial.
