Speaker 1 (00:01):
Normally with this show, especially in our five o'clock hour,
we are bouncing off the walls or climbing the walls. Well,
now with this interview, I kind of feel like we're
going to do the exact same only to a whole
new level.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Mickayla, I know this is exciting.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
We have some like stars superstars from MBC an American
Ninja Warrior Nation which everybody follows, but these are two
junior stars we're so happy to have in our studio today.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
We want to welcome to What Matters Sidney Y the.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Sly Ninja and Dylan Eye the Happy Ninja from Powell,
Ohio and their mom.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
And your name is Christine Christina.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Thank you so much. Dad's in studio two. He's taking
some video right now. Welcome guys, thanks for having us.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
How fun. First of all, the Sly Ninja and the
Happy Ninja. How'd you get up those names? How'd you
pick those names?
Speaker 4 (00:52):
Honestly, as a kid, like your first thing when you
get really deep into ninja is what's my ninja name
going to be? So it's kind of a tradition as
a kid to think of what your name's going to be.
My name came from I was doing an art project
one day and we had to sign it with our initials,
and I signed it sly and I went.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Wait, that sounds like live.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
That seems like a word. So that kind of just
became my ninja name from that on out.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
That's a great story. You got to top that one.
Speaker 5 (01:16):
What about that happening?
Speaker 6 (01:17):
Yeah, it's gonna be a little harder to tell top.
But my ninja story is that I on the course.
I always am really happy and smiling when I'm on
the course, and someone on my ninja team was like, hey,
you should be named the Smiling Ninja at first, and
when we looked it up, it was already taken sadly,
so we switched to the Happy Ninja, which honestly now
(01:40):
I think is a better name because it fits me
better as a person.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
But yeah, that's how it started.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Okay, So you guys were on season seventeen, episode three
of America Ninja Warrior and this year, Dylan, you made
your debut at just fifteen years old. You're the youngest
competitor in your episode, and Sydney, you return for your
third consecutive season.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Mm hmm, oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
So, first of all, you said something earlier when I
got into Ninja. How does one get into Ninja? I
guess that's one of my first questions.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Honestly, for us, it was as a child, our parents
would turn on the show and we just loved watching it.
We would all stay on the couch and like watch it.
And one day I think me and Dylan like consecually decided,
you know what, We're just gonna do some obstacles. So
doorframes became spiderwalls, and like banisters became cliffhangers, to the
point where my parents are like, we should probably get
(02:34):
them into a gym where it's safer and that they're
not breaking furniture.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Does that to really break any furniture?
Speaker 4 (02:41):
I think we probably kicked a picture framer.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
Two that is hilarious.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
But after that we found Movement Lab Ohio, where we've
been at for nine years now and so we've just
been training.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
So I have to ask you, because you've been there
three different times, and say, with you happy Ninja, Dylan,
what's the hardest part of ancal course that you've seen
as part of this show? Because if anyone's never watched it,
it's really I've seen it before. Oh, we all have
a combination of these really hard things that these contestants
are challenged to do. Nine out of ten times they
(03:14):
fall at some point, right, I mean, it's kind of
that ultimate challenge first of all, with you, what is
the hardest thing you've had to do on live TV?
Speaker 4 (03:22):
For me personally, I'm not like I'm good at balance,
but I'm not like the absolute best of balance, So
anything with like quick balance or the balance obstacles on
the show, those are the ones I struggle with and
that I find hard. But everyone finds a different obstacle harder,
Like a lot of times the fifth obstacle is the hardest,
but for me it could be the third obstacle, which
is the balance, so it kind of changes.
Speaker 6 (03:43):
Yeah, same for me. I just think that the balance
is really hard for me. I in general don't have
great balance, and especially on the Ninja course this past season,
I fell on that third obstacle, the balance obstacle, and
I'm hoping to get redemption on it hopefully in the
next season.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
So I love it.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
I love it makes you driven, right, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Christina, what have you thought of all this with your husband?
I mean, because yeah, they are hanging off your banister
or your balcony.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
And then they move. But also you know.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
It's when they're out there people get injured from time
to time.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
So how have you taken it all in this dride
that you have.
Speaker 7 (04:18):
I think that they love doing what they do, and
that's what makes me happy. Just seeing them smile, seeing
them just being themselves, that's what makes me happy. So
I think as a parent, as a mom, there's nothing
better to just see them smile, see them shine. So
I'm just grateful for auto opportunities.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
You have to get a little worried.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
They weren't too worried at all when they're out there performing.
Speaker 7 (04:43):
They were pretty saved. They they they have a lot
of safety put in place at the show, but it
is really tall, so like when you get to the stage,
it was so they were also on the junior show, right,
so when they were in the junior that stage was
it's like huge, a just compared to them.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
But even at the bake show, it is huge.
Speaker 7 (05:06):
But they have a lot of safety in place, I feel,
and I have confidence in them.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
So, yeah, you all seem to be great kids, great family,
But who you are today really stems from something that
is available to so many kids in Central Ohio. Tell
us where do you think some of this comes from.
I have an understanding that some of your background in
an organization you've worked with for a long time has
really helped us.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (05:33):
So I think what mainly helps me on the Ninja
course and just in general is from Scouting America. So
I started as a Cub Scout in first grade and
I've worked all the way from that to where I
am now a life scout almost at Eagle Scouts, and
it's taught me so much. It's taught me so many
(05:54):
great life lessons that I'll be able to use in
the future. And on that Ninja course, same thing.
Speaker 7 (05:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
And for me, I wasn't a Cub Scout, but I
went to some of his Cub Scout campouts and that
really like brought me to like, oh my god, this
is so cool. I want to do this. So when
girls were accepted to do Scouting America in twenty nineteen,
I took that and I joined a troop which I've
been at for half a decade now, for five years,
and honestly, I've done so much cool stuff in Scouts
(06:23):
and had so many leadership opportunities that really let me
like bring that speaker energy that I need when I'm
in front of the cameras, because there's a bunch of
cameras on you when you're on TV, and you have
to be able to bring personality and speak confidently. So
I definitely think through scouting America, I gained a lot
of those skills.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Well, honey, let me tell you something.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
You've got confidence. You got that thing because you're just
talking to us on the radio and it's perfect you guys,
that confidence shines your personality shine.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
What school do you do go to?
Speaker 1 (06:55):
You have to be rock stars there because not everybody
gets to be on national TV, especially a favorite show
like this and what You're a year, a week and
a day apart?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Who's older?
Speaker 4 (07:07):
I'm older, but he's taller. He got taller than me
a couple of years ago.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
That's gonna happen. So are you guys in a lin TANGI?
Speaker 5 (07:13):
Then yeah, okay, we go to Liberty High School.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
You're at Liberty, Okay, great with it. What happens next?
Speaker 3 (07:20):
So you're on so you're you were on the show.
You did well from what I'm seeing, So what happens next? Like,
how did you get on the show, and how do
you keep do people keep going back?
Speaker 2 (07:31):
I don't know this part of it.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Yeah, do you have to send videos of yourself like
telephone polls.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
So they lowered the age range to fifteen. So when
I turned or was gonna turn fifteen, I applied for
the show. And it's basically an application and you got
to make a submission video which shows your confidence as
like an athlete and as a TV personnel kind of.
And so once you send that in, you have to
wait and pray and hope that they send you a call.
(07:59):
And once you get called, then you go out to film.
So I just remember when I got called. I was astatic.
I was quite literally like jumping for hours after I
got my call because I was fifteen and I got
to go on the show of my dreams. So it's
a lot of work to get on the show, but
it's so worth it.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
So Dylan, do you get called back, you have to
do another video to go back or you like on
their list?
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Now, how does that?
Speaker 4 (08:24):
So?
Speaker 6 (08:24):
Yeah, you have to reapply once the season is over.
That there's new applications that show up every single season,
so you have to reapply, create new submission video, fill
out those questions that they always ask and you just
have to, like Sinny said, hope and pray that they
choose you again and they like you enough to be
brought back on to the show.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
You know, we were earlier talking about good jeens in
more ways than one, and I looked at your mom,
your dad too, but he just decided not to be
on the microphone, Christina, and like, you look like you're
in such good shape? Did they learn this through you?
Everybody in the store laughed. Mikayla, You're like, no, we
did not learn this.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Too much money. I can see what Mandy's saying.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
Yeah, you're a.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Pretty good shape.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
You guys, that's too nice. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Did you try to get her involved? Like mom, try this?
Speaker 6 (09:12):
Yeah, we tried to get her involved. There's a couple
of classes that are in Ninja Gym where there's like
a parent's only or adult only type uh class that
we brought our mom and our dad to and just
to see them on the course is like really funny
and just really brought a lot of like joy to us.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
So well, I kind of want to before we go,
I want to ask about the Movement Lab. So Movement
Lab Ohio. Is this a place where they specifically do
ninja work or do people go there for all kinds
of lifting and you know, pliometrics, whatever the thing may be.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Like, tell me about that.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Our gym is mostly a ninja gyen, but we also
have a little area for parkour, and then there's a
weight room in the back where people can do workouts
or ocr practice, so basically anything that involves obstacles or
jumping or so our jim has it.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Where do you guys see yourself ten years from now?
Speaker 5 (10:03):
Honestly, oh, that's a deep question.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
You've got such a great start with who you are
and your confidence and your happiness. Yeah, what do you
see yourself doing ten years from now?
Speaker 6 (10:18):
I just think that hopefully I'm still doing ninja ten
years from now and I get in the school of
my choice whatever that might be. My major, which I
think right now is chemical engineering.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
So of course it is.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Of course it is you slacker, Sidney, how about you?
Where do you see yourself?
Speaker 4 (10:40):
I hope that, like Dan, that I continue doing ninja
and hopefully inspiring a lot more people to do ninja.
And also I really hope that being on the show
as a girl in Scouts that I inspire other girls.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
I have one.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
There's one girl at the gym that actually joined Scouts
like fairly recently, and I've been keeping tabs on her
and she's been liking it, so I hope she continues.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
It sounds like there's a lot of leadership opportunities and Dylan,
good luck becoming eagle.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
That is a huge, huge deal. And how you said
you're really close.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
Yeah, I'm really close to it.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
And Sydney, you are too.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Oh my gosh, have goose bumps, Like this is a
there's not many of.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Them, right, if I'm not mistaken, it's it's it's like
the highest.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
It's the highest ran, right, Christine?
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Do they get all a's in school? Are they? Like
they're really overachievers in the class.
Speaker 7 (11:27):
They are, but they they just love learning so like
they've been loved learning ever since they were young. So
to them, it's it's it's like and right, that's.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Key to life. If you love to learn, you're going
to be a success.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
But you guys didn't answer you. You answered what school
you go to? But are you rock stars at Old
Tangy Liberty?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
You have to be?
Speaker 3 (11:48):
But kids are weird too sometimes they don't talk about it,
so you're humble. Like I feel like sometimes you don't
know if kids like have done the thing because the
kids are kind of like quiet these days.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
You guys have been TV on the show.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
They know, they know, Like for my season, season sixteen,
they came to my school and actually filmed us in
chemistry class and running on the track.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Well, so definitely no fun.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
Yeah, what did you say, Christine?
Speaker 7 (12:15):
For two days, like they did the gym, they did school,
various areas, school, orchestra, track and field, Scouts, scouts, chemistry
class and then yeah they also did scouts.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Yeah, they know. They definitely a wonderful family. Oh my gosh,
Christine and your husband back there, who we just what
We just learned that we have a mutual friend of
this show, Ben jam the show Great humans, So you
know what there is something about jeans and truth.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Related. Well it's been a joy, a pleasure. Thank you

probably coming up for this next season.

Yeah, it's gonna be a little harder to tell top.
But my ninja story is that I on the course.
I always am really happy and smiling when I'm on

you should be named the Smiling Ninja at first, and
when we looked it up, it was already taken sadly,
so we switched to the Happy Ninja, which honestly now
(01:40):
I think is a better name because it fits me
better as a person.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
But yeah, that's how it started.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Okay, So you guys were on season seventeen, episode three
of America Ninja Warrior and this year, Dylan, you made

Speaker 5 (04:01):
I love it makes you driven, right, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Christina, what have you thought of all this with your husband?
I mean, because yeah, they are hanging off your banister
or your balcony.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
And then they move. But also you know.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
It's when they're out there people get injured from time

Speaker 2 (04:14):
So how have you taken it all in this dride

You have to be rock stars there because not everybody

Speaker 2 (07:06):
Who's older?
Speaker 4 (07:07):
I'm older, but he's taller. He got taller than me
a couple of years ago.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
That's gonna happen. So are you guys in a lin TANGI?
Speaker 5 (07:13):
Then yeah, okay, we go to Liberty High School.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
You're at Liberty, Okay, great with it. What happens next?
Speaker 3 (07:20):
So you're on so you're you were on the show.
You did well from what I'm seeing, So what happens next? Like,
how did you get on the show, and how do
you keep do people keep going back?
Speaker 2 (07:31):
I don't know this part of it.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Yeah, do you have to send videos of yourself like
telephone polls.

wait and pray and hope that they send you a call.
(07:59):
And once you get called, then you go out to film.
So I just remember when I got called. I was astatic.
I was quite literally like jumping for hours after I
got my call because I was fifteen and I got
to go on the show of my dreams. So it's
a lot of work to get on the show, but
it's so worth it.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
So Dylan, do you get called back, you have to
do another video to go back or you like on
their list?
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Now, how does that?
Speaker 4 (08:24):
So?
Speaker 6 (08:24):
Yeah, you have to reapply once the season is over.
That there's new applications that show up every single season,
so you have to reapply, create new submission video, fill
out those questions that they always ask and you just
have to, like Sinny said, hope and pray that they
choose you again and they like you enough to be
brought back on to the show.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
You know, we were earlier talking about good jeens in
more ways than one, and I looked at your mom,
your dad too, but he just decided not to be
on the microphone, Christina, and like, you look like you're
in such good shape? Did they learn this through you?
Everybody in the store laughed. Mikayla, You're like, no, we
did not learn this.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Too much money. I can see what Mandy's saying.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
Yeah, you're a.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Pretty good shape.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
You guys, that's too nice. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Did you try to get her involved? Like mom, try this?
Speaker 6 (09:12):
Yeah, we tried to get her involved. There's a couple
of classes that are in Ninja Gym where there's like
a parent's only or adult only type uh class that
we brought our mom and our dad to and just
to see them on the course is like really funny
and just really brought a lot of like joy to us.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
So well, I kind of want to before we go,
I want to ask about the Movement Lab. So Movement
Lab Ohio. Is this a place where they specifically do
ninja work or do people go there for all kinds
of lifting and you know, pliometrics, whatever the thing may be.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Like, tell me about that.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Our gym is mostly a ninja gyen, but we also
have a little area for parkour, and then there's a
weight room in the back where people can do workouts
or ocr practice, so basically anything that involves obstacles or
jumping or so our jim has it.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Where do you guys see yourself ten years from now?
Speaker 5 (10:03):
Honestly, oh, that's a deep question.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
You've got such a great start with who you are
and your confidence and your happiness. Yeah, what do you
see yourself doing ten years from now?
Speaker 6 (10:18):
I just think that hopefully I'm still doing ninja ten
years from now and I get in the school of
my choice whatever that might be. My major, which I
think right now is chemical engineering.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
So of course it is.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Of course it is you slacker, Sidney, how about you?
Where do you see yourself?
Speaker 4 (10:40):
I hope that, like Dan, that I continue doing ninja
and hopefully inspiring a lot more people to do ninja.
And also I really hope that being on the show
as a girl in Scouts that I inspire other girls.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
I have one.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
There's one girl at the gym that actually joined Scouts
like fairly recently, and I've been keeping tabs on her
and she's been liking it, so I hope she continues.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
It sounds like there's a lot of leadership opportunities and Dylan,
good luck becoming eagle.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
That is a huge, huge deal. And how you said
you're really close.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
Yeah, I'm really close to it.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
And Sydney, you are too.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Oh my gosh, have goose bumps, Like this is a
there's not many of.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Them, right, if I'm not mistaken, it's it's it's like
the highest.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
It's the highest ran, right, Christine?
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Do they get all a's in school? Are they? Like
they're really overachievers in the class.
Speaker 7 (11:27):
They are, but they they just love learning so like
they've been loved learning ever since they were young. So
to them, it's it's it's like and right, that's.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Key to life. If you love to learn, you're going
to be a success.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
But you guys didn't answer you. You answered what school
you go to? But are you rock stars at Old
Tangy Liberty?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
You have to be?
Speaker 3 (11:48):
But kids are weird too sometimes they don't talk about it,
so you're humble. Like I feel like sometimes you don't
know if kids like have done the thing because the
kids are kind of like quiet these days.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
You guys have been TV on the show.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
They know, they know, Like for my season, season sixteen,
they came to my school and actually filmed us in
chemistry class and running on the track.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Well, so definitely no fun.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
Yeah, what did you say, Christine?
Speaker 7 (12:15):

various areas, school, orchestra, track and field, Scouts, scouts, chemistry
class and then yeah they also did scouts.
