But I'm definitely definitely wishing I was 95 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 6: I was part of that across the. 96 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 4: Street at Madison, which is what we. 97 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 2: Did down the street. 98 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,359 Speaker 3: But you know what was interesting, that was my first 99 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 3: time doing a concert experience at MSG. And I've been 100 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 3: there for sports things, but usually on the on the 101 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 3: lower level. We were at the so the stage was 102 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 3: kind of in the round and we were at one end, 103 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 3: and I never realized how much that building shakes. 104 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 4: When people, Oh my gosh, it shakes. 105 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 3: But I was sitting there and the bride was like, 106 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 3: she was just like it didn't matter to her. She 107 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,840 Speaker 3: was just going to dance the entire night because Harry's 108 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 3: music is fairly upbeat. 109 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 2: And I'm sitting there going, is this thing a fall? 110 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 2: Is this thing going to fall? 111 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 4: Yeah? I mean get like that. I've seen some shows there. 112 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 4: Speaking of first shows at Madison Square Garden Concerts, my 113 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 4: first concert was a Grateful Dead concert at MSG. Yeah, 114 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 4: I mean, well, no, my first MSG concert. I saw 115 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 4: them at NASA Coliseum prior to that. 116 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 2: But I'd say I don't think they played indoor dates 117 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 2: because the Weeds. 118 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, no, they did in the winter. In the fall, 119 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 4: it was always they had they had a schedule, so 120 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 4: you'd always see them at MSG in the fall, you'd 121 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,840 Speaker 4: see them at NASA calls, see him in the spring. 122 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 4: And then of course I got on the bus as 123 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,239 Speaker 4: they call it, which means that you've come a follower 124 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 4: of the Grateful Dad. So then I got to see 125 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 4: them all over the UH, all over the country, even 126 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,239 Speaker 4: West coast swings. Did I raised? 127 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 2: Did you see him in Vegas? 128 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 4: I saw yes. In fact, I saw den Coo at 129 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,679 Speaker 4: the Sphere, which was amazing. I saw them at City Field, 130 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 4: but I also saw Bob Weir, who we just lost 131 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 4: on Sunday. I saw Bob We're two additional times this 132 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 4: past year at the Capitol Theater in port Chester, which 133 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 4: is an amazing venue to see any band because it's 134 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 4: you know, you're right up there. But you know, I 135 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 4: just wanted to give him a shout out. I know 136 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,559 Speaker 4: a lot of Deadheads are feeling the pain of losing 137 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,239 Speaker 4: him because he was such a muse. He was really 138 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 4: one of the founders, but he was the second other 139 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 4: than Jerry. He was the then became the lead vocalist, 140 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,720 Speaker 4: and John Mayer has been doing a great job with them. 141 00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 4: And we still have Mickey Hart and you know, Billy Kreutzman. 142 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 4: So we have the two percussionists, the two drummers. But 143 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 4: it's it's sort of kind of an end of an era, 144 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 4: feeling not the same. No, But Bobby was so peaceful 145 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 4: and just everybody loved him. Didn't matter what side of 146 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 4: the aisle, where you came from, what you did. He 147 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 4: was just a universally loved people. So I feel blessed 148 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 4: that I've been able to see him and the dead 149 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 4: for so many years. But you're right about Madison Square Garden. 150 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 4: It is a special place. But it does shake, and 151 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 4: it shake it. You know, it would shake with the dead, 152 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 4: and it would also you know, if you see a 153 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 4: Bruce Springsteen concert there, my gosh, it can. 154 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 3: There were Mountain John girls and moms that were that 155 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 3: were just grooven in the aisles and they were just pounding. 156 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 2: That place into Yeah. 157 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 4: Well, you know it's five stories up the stage. The 158 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 4: floor of the garden is five stories high. 159 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 2: So when you. 160 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 3: Get so if we were on the third second level. 161 00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 4: Yeah you're then you're seventh, you're probably like eighth stories up. 162 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 4: Because so when I would go in. When I was 163 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 4: at NYC and Company, we would welcome the Ringling Brothers, 164 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 4: and of course you'd welcome the elephants and they actually 165 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 4: and I rode one of the elephants in. Once you 166 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 4: have to go up a ramp, right, and there was actually. 167 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 2: A fun off.

I mean, 336 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 3: we what's the how would you compare like the musical 337 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 3: element of this and like, you know, something has a 338 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 3: lot more voices to it. 339 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think there's such a there's value in both 340 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 7: and they're so I mean, we need both one thousand percent. 341 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 7: I would say though, that there's something very vulnerable about 342 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 7: having less voices. 343 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,200 Speaker 5: There's nowhere to hide it's so. 344 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,159 Speaker 7: Cool about a big ensemble where you can blend and 345 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 7: you can find your your level. And then something like this, 346 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 7: you're quite literally blending with the musicians, you're blending with yourself, 347 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,439 Speaker 7: You're blending with the silence of the audience. That is 348 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 7: the most vulnerable thing I've ever It's so exposed, and 349 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 7: so it's it's it's harder in. 350 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:28,400 Speaker 5: That way, I would say, in comparing the two. 351 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,159 Speaker 7: But I think that one of the benefits of it 352 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,439 Speaker 7: and the beauty is it gives the audience a chance 353 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:39,160 Speaker 7: to just lock into something so so, so so subtle, 354 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:43,640 Speaker 7: because there's nothing else happening that your ear can lend 355 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,919 Speaker 7: to or that your your your eye can focus on, 356 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 7: so you can really lock in in a really unique way. 357 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 2: All that thought, let's come back after we pay some bills. 358 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,679 Speaker 2: Don't go anywhere. It's radio in my life. 359 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 5: What a little moonline can do. 360 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:05,919 Speaker 4: It's radio night life. 361 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 3: Here's Kevin McCulla Welcome back. It's Christine Nicholas and Kevin 362 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 3: McCullough and we're talking about a beautiful, fun I'm assuming 363 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,680 Speaker 3: quite funny show.

She plays Robin, one of 365 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 3: the two actors that are on the stage. And Christiana, 366 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 3: you were kind of going into detail about the difference 367 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 3: between an ensemble show and like just a real paired 368 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,640 Speaker 3: down show like this, even though this is a full 369 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:39,120 Speaker 3: musical you guys sing and the orchestra and everything. But Christine, 370 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 3: you were noting something very significant because you've seen this 371 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 3: and it feels like there's more people on stage than that. 372 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:48,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you definitely feel the presence of Dougal's 373 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 4: mom and your sister and her fiance. It's just beautifully written. 374 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 4: And I'm just wondering if you know, telling those stories 375 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 4: night after night, do you add things as you go along, 376 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 4: like about the mother, Yeah, hilarious tonight. 377 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 7: Yeah, we try to keep it straight to that book 378 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,160 Speaker 7: because our writer kid is brilliant.

So, for example, 381 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,880 Speaker 7: if we're talking to my sister on the phone, even 382 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 7: though her lines aren't in the script because we don't 383 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 7: hear from her, necessarily, we go through and we write 384 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 7: the lines. We have a full conversation with her when 385 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,120 Speaker 7: we're rehearsing to really build out who these people are. 386 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 7: What does Justin the guy that I link up with 387 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 7: on tender. 388 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:41,199 Speaker 8: What does he like look like? 389 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 5: What does he smell like? 390 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:42,439 Speaker 4: Like? 391 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 7: We made these people are so real to us that 392 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 7: then the audience, because they don't get to see them, 393 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 7: they get. 394 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,919 Speaker 5: To imagine them themselves. So I have people you. 395 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 7: My grandmother is a huge character for me in the show, 396 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 7: and we finally hear from her at the end of 397 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:56,879 Speaker 7: the show. 398 00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 5: And I remember having someone come up to me after 399 00:19:59,359 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 5: the show. 400 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 7: One day and this is there's like the third time 401 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 7: seeing the show, and they said, I always when I 402 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,919 Speaker 7: think of your grandma, I think of my grandma. I 403 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,399 Speaker 7: picture her and so I remember the first time I 404 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 7: heard her voice. It gave me a jump scare because 405 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 7: I had to reimagine who this woman was and in 406 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 7: my head. It's really cool that the audience gets their 407 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:23,119 Speaker 7: own chance. We're not feeding force feeding you guys everything. 408 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 7: People get to take their own imaginations on a journey 409 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 7: and it's really it's so special. 410 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 4: Yeah.

It's fun to come on 537 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:44,479 Speaker 8: the air like this. 538 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 3: Try to describe it to the Olympians were playing in 539 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 3: your tournament. 540 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 8: We will have future Olympians playing well. Absolutely cool. The 541 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:55,920 Speaker 8: Games are now two and a half roughly two and 542 00:26:55,960 --> 00:27:00,080 Speaker 8: a half years away. Our athletes typically are aged. We 543 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 8: have some young phenoms who are eighteen, and then some 544 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,640 Speaker 8: of the older veterans are thirty four to thirty five. 545 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 8: All of them when this decision was made that squash 546 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,199 Speaker 8: was accepted to LA, the decision was in October of 547 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 8: twenty three, all of them, regardless of age, said we're 548 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 8: going to LA and so the energy is really really 549 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:25,200 Speaker 8: high amongst all squash players worldwide. 550 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 4: So how do you think since you have been playing 551 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 4: pro squash since the eighties, you are an American and 552 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,919 Speaker 4: you went through the college circuit as well, how do 553 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:40,120 Speaker 4: you think Americans will fare against Europeans and other countries 554 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 4: that are used to squash when we get to the Olympics. 555 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,840 Speaker 8: Things have evened out now. We over here in the 556 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 8: US have been at it with our international colleagues and 557 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 8: competitors for almost three decades, and in a really exciting development, 558 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 8: our women are the second ranked team in the world 559 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 8: world on the female side, we're not climbing the ladder anymore. 560 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 8: We are knocking on the door. The country that's number 561 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 8: one both in men's and women's squash is Egypt, and 562 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:17,680 Speaker 8: Egypt will have fantastic opportunities to meddle in LA. They're champions, 563 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 8: routinely win major events. Our best players have not yet 564 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 8: won majors, but Amanda Sobey and Olivia Weaver are our 565 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,400 Speaker 8: top two American females. They've been in the top ten 566 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,880 Speaker 8: now for a long time. Both of them have had 567 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,880 Speaker 8: either great careers are about to continue to have great careers. 568 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 8: On the men's side, it's a little bit slower. Our 569 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 8: number one is Timmy Brownell, who's been ranked as high 570 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 8: I think as twenty seven in the world, and he's 571 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 8: still a young man and has miles to go before 572 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 8: he you know, heads out to pastures, so we're looking 573 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 8: at him to really keep improving. But the Egyptians will 574 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 8: be favored. And then the whole way that the selection 575 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 8: process works for the Games is just being sussed out now. 576 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 8: But there will be over ten or twelve nations represented 577 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 8: for both genders and all of them. Just bringing us 578 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 8: back to the spot. Tournament of Champions presented by crowd Street, 579 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 8: will be competing in Grand Central. 580 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 4: As you said, Christides, how can they get tickets for 581 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 4: this other than just going And what will they see? 582 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 4: Will they just see one match at a time, or 583 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 4: will they see men and women together? What do we expect. 584 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 8: We have twenty three sessions of professional play. We also 585 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 8: have two sessions of college play, and we have a 586 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 8: session of team play, which is fun. But each session 587 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:45,280 Speaker 8: is typically one men's and one woman's match and it's 588 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 8: a single elimination tournament. So from the round of thirty 589 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 8: two to sixteen quarter semis and finals. Typically you'd see 590 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 8: two matches. But the wonderful tradition of the Tournament of 591 00:29:54,640 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 8: Champions is that spectating is also always free. So we 592 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 8: keep one side of our four sided glass court that 593 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 8: has no ticketed reservations at all. You can walk right 594 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 8: into Vanderbilt Hall and stand on the front wall and 595 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,720 Speaker 8: you can watch world class squash or absolutely nothing except 596 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:18,040 Speaker 8: the cost of being on your feet. 597 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 3: How do you distinguish like squash in terms of the 598 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 3: athletic requirements and so forth as compared to say tennis 599 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 3: or racquetball, or like what's the what's the training and 600 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 3: intensity like? 601 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 8: The sport has been dubbed by Forbes magazine is the 602 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 8: healthiest sport in the world because it uses so many 603 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 8: different systems cardiovascular, muscular, musculo skeletal reaction, time, intelligence to 604 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 8: some however, you quantify that like tactical knowledge. I Squash 605 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 8: athletes are some of the fittest in the world. They 606 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,160 Speaker 8: have to be for short bursts of time they cover. 607 00:30:56,360 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 8: They cover a short area of courts surface, but they 608 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 8: have to do it repeatedly. They're basically no breaks. In 609 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 8: a squash match. You play to the first one to 610 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 8: get to eleven points, you get two minutes off, you 611 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 8: do it again, you do it again. So like tennis, 612 00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 8: sometimes they say a full match, the athletes are only 613 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 8: playing for fifteen to twenty minutes. Squash players are playing 614 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 8: for ninety percent of the time that they're actually on 615 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 8: the court. 616 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,200 Speaker 2: Wow, this is a significantly different experience. 617 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 3: All right TOOC Squash Talk Squash TOC Tournament of Champions 618 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 3: squash dot com is the website TOC Tournament of Champions 619 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 3: squash dot com for tickets, and again the non ticketed 620 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,960 Speaker 3: option is there as well.
