Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hey, hey, they're playing your song. Are we on? They're
playing your song? Coach two K and Cammy, So we're
continuing that conversation because the softball team deserved it. They
have just I hate to even say the pund but
they've knocked it out of the park with this season.
And you've been on the journey with me, Mikayla for
the last four years, the ups and downs. You know,
baseball softball it is a game of failure, and if
(00:25):
you can accept that you're going to do better, you
know you're not gonna get a hit every single time
you're gonna get up there. It just it doesn't happen.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Well, that's why I'm curious.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
So Cammy, we ended the last segment coming into the
next one about what you're taking right Maybe that was
your question, Like what do you take away from this
for the rest of your life?
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Is not your question? And then look back at your
four years here. You talked about what Coach two K
brought to the table. That was different, But you know,
you've had an unbelievable, illustrious career, Cammy. But what I'm
most proud of with you is watching these little girls
just look up to you. And now it's going to
end and they're never gonna look up to you anymore. No,
I'm just kidding, not true, So just your thoughts, Cam.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
I'm just like on that break, there's just so many
things that I'm gonna take away. It's really hard to
put into words just just one thing, but I would
say just overall, just a huge feeling of gratitude. Who
get to experience being on a team and getting to
be surrounded by so many people, like just coaching staff
and teammates that are passionate about something that we all
(01:32):
love and it just brings out the best in you.
And something college sports taught me is like, if you
really want to if you really want to accomplish something
in life, it's gonna be hard and that's what makes
something special. And I've been able to do that with
a group of people who I love, which makes it
even more special. So just as I can sine, you
(01:52):
go through life, just reminding myself to not take time
for granted with anybody. Over the past four years when
seems like a lot, but you blink and then all
my friends are moving either back to California or Florida
wherever it is, and just don't take for granted who
you're with in the moment, and just knowing like God
has a plan for you and whatever situation you're in,
(02:13):
to make the most of it. And you can make
a real impact if you focus on the bigger things
in life versus just maybe being all about your performance
on the field or whatever is next.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
So Mikayla has some questions to coach about nutrition and
things like that. That's funny because when our producer Chris
called you both, He's like, funny, Mindy, I called your
daughter and I woke her up from napping.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
She was sleeping.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
So Karen, yeah, like you mentioned, you know in passing
about first of all, sleep, you mentioned that in their
first segment. So what kind of sleep do you ask
from from these athletes to allow their bodies to repair
and heal and repair and heal and prepare for the
next game.
Speaker 6 (02:55):
Oh well, I mean we you know, obviously, we have
curfews that they go. We have a rule that they're
not allowed to be on social media after ten thirty pa.
I think that takes so really Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
And Kimmy, did you follow that rule? I know how
you are on TikTok.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Of course, love sleep this is a great question for us.
Speaker 6 (03:19):
Awesome, So sleep, Yeah, so I I And we do
make them eat breakfast because we do think that's the
most important, most important meal of the day, and so
that is something that that we do. But I mean
I don't dictate like what time they go to bed
or anything. I know a lot of them have those
(03:39):
aura rings and all of those fun stuff that that
you know makes their they check on their sleep for them.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
So yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
And then on the nutrition parts, Since you were saying
breakfast most important meal of the day, especially in the
day and age when you know so many people talk
about intermittent fasting and all these things. How much protein
do these gals have to get, you know, because like
some of us are in that stage of life where
it's all about protein for an athlete. How much protein
are you asking them to get? And how from a
nutrition standpoint does that part look too for a winning season.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
Well, fortunately they don't have to listen to me on
that because they have someone who is a nutritionist. We
have a nutritionist on staff that they get to meet
with that they can have help bring them go to
the grocery store and say buy this, not that we
have the nest that has food for athletes, So I
(04:36):
tell them to utilize it. But I'm glad they don't
listen to me because my favorite food group.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
This week yeah carbs.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Right.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
So yeah, so we only have a couple more minutes left,
and now it looks like the Big Ten Network has
announced that you guys did get the fourth seed. You'll
be playing the winner of Northwestern Purdue. How do you
prepare as a coach? You know, you've got real coach,
a young team as far as Big ten tournament experience.
You have a couple of players who have been there,
(05:06):
but you've got a lot of your players who haven't
been to a Big ten tournament. How do you keep
it just you know what, don't let it get bigger
than the moment itself. How do you keep everybody on
the same page.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
Well, we treat it like every other other game that
we have. We take it one at a time. We
don't care who's pitching or anything like that, so it
doesn't matter who we face. And so we go in
preparing what we need to do and not what we
need to do for somebody else. And I think a
lot of people get caught up on that. So a
(05:39):
lot of times I tell them, you have to do
what you do. We have to do what we do
as a team and not worry about the outside noise
because if we get away from what we do, then
we're going to be in territories we can't understand. So
I think this weekend, it's one game at a time,
just like it is all season. The only different this
(05:59):
time is that everyone zero zero and zero, right, So
and that's we've already talked about that. Hey, new season,
it's zero zero and we just do what we do
and nothing else.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
I've heard that so much in sports.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
In the life of entrepreneurs, you can't worry about what
everybody else is doing.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
You focus on what you do well.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
You continue your hustle day and day out, and that's
how you make things happen.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
Yeah, because if you if you look ahead, then you're
gonna miss the moment, right, like if you if we
looked ahead. You know, obviously our Michigan series is huge,
but at the beginning of the year, I told them
that series does not matter if we don't take care
of business right, and that's exactly what they did. So,
like we got to that point that that series was
(06:47):
not only big because it was a rival game, but
it is because it was a seed for the Big
Ten right in the regular season. But we they went,
they went one game at a time and didn't falter,
didn't matter. They were down every game, that came back
every game. And that's where like the next game does
(07:08):
not matter if you don't take care of business the
game before.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Kamie, what about being a senior leader on this team?
And I'm not just saying that because you're my daughter.
I mean there's other senior leaders on the team as well,
and sophomore leaders. Everybody has their own role. But how
do you keep people kind of loose? And more than anything,
I think people begin at a very early age to
play sports because it's fun. It's fun, So how do
(07:31):
you keep the teammates that you have from having fun
and enjoying every moment along the way, whether you win
or you lose.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
I think this team does a good job of having fun.
I think that we really get along, which is really special.
But I think at heart, there's be on a team.
You know, you get a lot of different characters over
the years, and you know everyone wants to be really good.
But you know, I wouldn't use the word selfish to
describe any single person on this team, and it's just
(08:01):
really cool to see how every girl puts the team
first and winning first, and everyone might not have the
role that they want to be in on a team,
but everyone makes the most of their role and we
all try to let each other know that, like every
person is impacting this team and pouring into the success
that the team is having. And I think that's what
makes this team so special and it's allowing us to
(08:23):
have fun and also perform so well. Is because we
appreciate being on a team with so many amazing people
that are also amazing athletes. So I think just like
relying on one another and continuing not to just be teammates,
but like we're we're all really good friends.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
The team chemistry is huge. You guys, you both for
coming on the air. Best of luck to k make
this thing last as long as possible, because I don't
want it to ever end, ever, ever, ever, So let's
do what.
Speaker 6 (08:53):
Yes, of course, and thank you for everyone for their support.
These young ladies, what they do on and off the
field is just incredible and I know sometimes you only
see one part of it, and you know, I hope
you guys get to know them in different ways.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Also, that's a great point, really good point.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Go get them ladies and go Bucks, Go Bucks. This
is what Matters on sixteen WTV.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
You know what, before we get to our next segment,
and stay tuned because you guys are going to have
a chance to win tickets. Kayla and I love to
do giveaways here we do. But we have a caller,
Michael on the air, who was listening to the last segment. Michael,
you wanted to say something real fast about your daughter
apparently played softball for the buck guys.
Speaker 7 (09:37):
No, my sister did. She's actually in the block Over
Hall of Fame. Yeah, she was a great player. But
my father and uncles are in the Fast Pitch Hall
of Fame in Oklahoma. And I grew up playing softball hall,
which I pitched up two I was sixty years old.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
And we're lucky to have you as a What Matters listener.
Speaker 7 (09:57):
Awesome Facebook, Come a Facebook, wasn't there, Mendy. I love
her post.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
I love.
Speaker 7 (10:05):
Religious So I want to thank you for that, thank you.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
For following along.
Speaker 7 (10:11):
Yeah, and then the thing that disappoints me about the
women's thanks to be no place for college. The things
that I wonder if.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
You you're kind of in it, you're kind of in
and out, Michael, But I do I think the question
you asked was what disappoints you is there's no place
to play after college and if you'd heard anything about
that changing, mindy, or if there's any opportunity.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
There is a professional league, it's not a lot of
players aren't invited to it because they don't have a
lot of teams. Cammy is thinking about playing over in
Italy the following year, So you're right, there's nothing like
the MLB. They're they're trying to have some things, but
it's just not well received. To tell you the truth.
They are bringing the Olympics. They are bringing softball back
to the Olympics.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
So there's that.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
But yeah, that's true. And and softball across the board,
called softball, especially at the D one level, is grown
so much. I mean, you look at these game after
game after game, they're getting sold out, sold out, so
out all across the country. Maybe that'll change, you know,
in the future. But we're so glad that you listened
and that you called in. We do appreciate it, all.
Speaker 7 (11:14):
Right, Well, thank you, and I love the segment you
had on about the vaccine. I was one of the
first calors that called into your station when you had
a show about the vaccine, and I was telling you
that I knew more people who died from the vaccine
than I knew that died from COVID. I don't know
if you remember that call, but I was really there's so.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Many calls dealing with that that it's a while ago.
It was a while ago. Yeah, but no, we're glad
you listened. We really are. Thank you so much, Michael.
Speaker 7 (11:40):
Let's see it by bye.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Jim Fisher Kapa in with us. Jim, I love your
sweatshirt people on Facebook Live. Can you show this sweatshirt
like it has everything on it?
Speaker 5 (11:50):
I'm on brand if nothing else.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Ohio and Palace and Southern and Kappa.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
All the theaters. Yes, did encompass what you all do.
Speaker 8 (11:59):
Indeed, and of course we work hand in hand with
folks at the Lincoln Theater with the McCoy Theater in
New Albany, and I'm probably oh, the Rife Center Theater
is in the State Office Building downtown, so I don't
want to leave those out. But these are our three
sort of heart and soul spaces and so yeah, it's cool.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
I mean, you know, can you buy that switcher anywhere?
Speaker 5 (12:18):
I can?
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Good? You know you guys might want to think about
selling that eventually. I think people will buy it.
Speaker 8 (12:24):
Yeah, I don't make those kinds of decisions. I think
you may have an inflated sense of my importance at KAMPA.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
The performing arts in general in central Ohio and across
the state, because I know Cleveland Cincinnati are pretty active
as well. Why is it so big here?
Speaker 5 (12:41):
I think there's a bunch of different reasons.
Speaker 8 (12:43):
One, we have a real diverse demographic population here in Columbus,
right and across the state. But I'm thinking specifically in Columbus,
I feel maybe a little bit more, you know, like
I can speak to that a little bit better. So
everybody has something. A lot of things will cross over generationally,
(13:04):
but everybody has something, right, There's something that is happening
in the market that everybody wants to go to. I
think the other thing is that we're have a lot
of educational institutions here in Columbus, not just Ohio state,
but like Capital Auterbine, Ohio, Dominican Again, I'm going to
leave a bunch of places out and then if you
(13:25):
go the next ring around, you know, like Mount Vernon,
or you know, like my daughter went to Wittenberg, which
isn't all that far away, right, So, which reminds me
of something.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
If I could get off this topic for just a second.
I know this is your show, but I would.
Speaker 8 (13:40):
I was listening on the way in about the softball
season and how you don't want it to end, and
how you know at some point in time it's going
to be your.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Last thing, everything, whether it's a show or whatever.
Speaker 8 (13:52):
My daughter graduated from college in twenty twenty when the
world was shut down, we didn't know when to make
Now we're not the only ones who exist in this world, right,
There were a lot of people who experienced the same thing.
My sort of lesson about that is you don't know
always when the last one is going to be. Sometimes
(14:15):
you do, but a lot of times you don't. So
don't wait until when you think it's going to be
the end or the last one, to like just dive
all the way in.
Speaker 5 (14:26):
Like Mindy has with the Sophomore.
Speaker 8 (14:29):
I don't mean you didn't wait till the end, you
dove in, is what I'm saying, so dive in early,
like Mindy did, don't wait until you think it's going
to be the end, because you never know, you're crazy.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Things happened, you know what when you talk about that,
And Mikayla and I used to do a senior salute
because so many of the seniors didn't get their graduations,
They didn't get those moments. A lot of them were
supposed to perform in a live theater. So what they
did is they made videos of them, and then national
news stations would run some of these videos. So what
(15:02):
happened was big time stars were looking at high school
performances for entertainment, right.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Truly, Yeah, it's a pretty cool thing to yes, right.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
But yes, and we did.
Speaker 8 (15:11):
We were people are resourceful, right, and so we made
the best of that situation.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
But we didn't know, Like my daughter, we didn't know.
Speaker 8 (15:19):
When it was going to be her last week or
we went to her last choir concert, but we expected
to have more in the spring, but we didn't have one. Right,
And as painful as it was for us, imagine how
it was for her, right, because she and her friends
should be doing a thing and then getting together afterwards,
and you know, sort of commiserating about it and celebrating
all that kind of thing. So I encourage everybody to
(15:41):
follow Mindy's example. You just dive all the way all
the way. Yeah, dive all the way in whatever your
kids are doing, and got all the way with it.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
I'm going to apply this to what we're talking to
about right now too, with you specifically, Jim, because I
think about the shows that come to Columbus that you
don't know if they're coming back again.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
And if you.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Really have want to go see a show, you gotta
go see it while it's here because it may not
come back again.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
You never know.
Speaker 8 (16:06):
And you know, artists continue to play uh into their
senior years, right, And if it's an artist that you're
a fan of, you just don't take for granted that
either you're going to get a chance to see them
again or oh I'm gonna skip this time, or oh whatever,
(16:27):
because again you just never know.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
I'm hoping you bring back Neil Diamond because I did
not get a chance to see that. There was a
softball game and I wouldn't have been able to go.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
It's so incredibly good.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Don't say that. Sorrysed to horrible.
Speaker 8 (16:40):
Nick Freddy Ganni. If you closed your eyes, you have
sworn Neil Diamond was right there on So I just
said sworn by the way, like I'm seventh grade, but
you'd have sworn. Yes, he was on American Idol. Yeah,
but again, close your eyes. It could have been Neil
Diamond for all I know. I've seen Neil him self
in concert a couple of times. Was my very first
(17:03):
concert that my folks took me to because they were
huge fans, and uh yeah, just absolutely just an incredible performance.
And I'm sorry that you missed it.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Oh yeah, it was.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
It was so different the waybe we can bring you
back they did the encore was it was just so different.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
So sorry, yeah, sorry.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
It was awesome.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
You have three shows to go on the Broadway series.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
Yes, we do.
Speaker 8 (17:24):
About a month ago we announced our next season, which
is great and if you guys want to talk about that,
we can. But yes, before that happens, we are still
in the midst of our current Broadway season. Later this
month we have Stomp for a short run over a weekend.
And you remember that that was it was a huge
thing twenty five thirty years ago. Maybe yes, it's still
available if you want to see it thirty years ago
(17:47):
and you didn't. Right, this is exactly what we're talking about, right,
Go see Stomp. It's going to be great. You know
the trash can lips and that.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Was when I was in high school. Some thoughts.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Rhythm with basketball.
Speaker 8 (18:02):
Yes, it's just a fun show. You've never seen it,
you should see it again. I know that a lot
of people probably have already had the chance to see it,
but if you haven't seen it, you definitely need to
see it this time around. In June, we have a
great show called Kimberly a Kimbo. It's a brand new,
originally written piece for Broadway. So it's it's not like
(18:24):
Neil Diamond where it's the story of a person told
through their music. Right, it's actually composed and a brand
adapted from a stage play and turned into a musical.
And it's about a young woman who has a condition
where she ages unnaturally.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
She's sixteen years.
Speaker 8 (18:43):
Old, she's in high school, she looks like she's sixty
years old. And so it talks a little bit about
sort of her coming to grips with this and how
she sort of overcomes it and and plays it off
and like, so it's it's her name's Kimberly, and she
just is.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
It's a great.
Speaker 8 (19:01):
Story about perseverance and about the journey that we're all
on and how we can share in each other's journey together.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
So it wasn't the same story. But I just watched
a Hulu movie on that this family from Indiana who
adopted a girl from Ukraine, oh, being twenty two years old,
and yeah, there was wow yea and this really happened
in real life. So anyway, that just kind of reminded
me of that.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
Right, So, what's the last one Hamilton you may have
heard of?
Speaker 1 (19:25):
I've never seen you.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
So I really want I want Mindy to see this.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
I've seen Hamilton twice in live theater, so in New
York and Chicago, and then I've seen it obviously in
the Disney Channel a lot. Mindy, I hope you go
because Minny's not sure, right, So she's not sure about it.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
Well, how will you know if you're sure unless you go?
Speaker 1 (19:48):
I don't know. I'll try it.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
Yeah, check it out. I went.
Speaker 8 (19:53):
The first time I went. I went with my daughter,
a huge theater kid, huge Broadway fan. She absolutely loved it.
And you know, there's no possible way I could have
enjoyed it as much as she did because she just
so over the top about getting to be uh in
the room where it happened. Sorry, that's a line from
the show.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Room where it happened.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
That's the one, yes, I saw. Sorry slanted.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
I would say about the politics at the time, That's
how I would put it, but I couldn't really tell
you like Republican versus Democrat?
Speaker 5 (20:28):
Who was It was all different.
Speaker 8 (20:31):
There were wigs and all that stuff back in the
revolutionary days anyway.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
But the Mormon would be harder for you than Hamilton.
And I sat next to you for.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Book A More Good Lord, and I was with my son. Yeah,
I think, oh my gosh, that the language and the
Mormon thing. I was embarrassed to be with my son.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
But it was it was culture.
Speaker 8 (20:51):
My daughter took me to see Book of Mormon because
she wanted me to see it.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
This is this is experiencing culture and life, right, that's
what we do.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Indeed, I think you can experience that without your kids
by your side or some of the movies.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
Look, I wanted to imagine, I imagine sitting there with
your parents. Bi No, I.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Thought, because listen I used to take my mom when
you would send over media tickets. I took my mom
to so many different ones. I did think of that
at the moment. I'm like, honestly, thank goodness, Mom isn't
here with me with this one.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
I need to tell you a story off air, and
I will.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Okay, So listen, we're gonna take a quick break. When
we come back there, you're gonna do ticket giveaways, right,
we'll talk.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
About a few other things. Yeah, coming up.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Okay, So call the phone, call the lineup. Just tell
us your favorite Broadway show you've ever seen or that
you want to see, and we'll give you, guys tickets.
You're gonna win, win, win.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
So we have four sets, go ahead and give out
the phone number. Should we go ahead and do it?
Speaker 1 (21:40):
We are able to do which phone number? Chris, Oh,
I don't know eight two one nine eight eight six.
We can't do that one anymore.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Oh, I don't even know six one.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Four eight two one nine eight eight six six one
four eight two one nine eight eighty six. Call that
number and we will get you guys hooked up with
free summer ticket movie stuff.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Back in a moment, this is what matters
Hey, hey, they're playing your song. Are we on? They're
playing your song? Coach two K and Cammy, So we're
continuing that conversation because the softball team deserved it. They
have just I hate to even say the pund but
they've knocked it out of the park with this season.
And you've been on the journey with me, Mikayla for
the last four years, the ups and downs. You know,
baseball softball it is a game of failure, and if
(00:25):
you can accept that you're going to do better, you
know you're not gonna get a hit every single time
you're gonna get up there. It just it doesn't happen.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Well, that's why I'm curious.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
So Cammy, we ended the last segment coming into the
next one about what you're taking right Maybe that was
your question, Like what do you take away from this
for the rest of your life?
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Is not your question? And then look back at your
four years here. You talked about what Coach two K
brought to the table. That was different, But you know,
you've had an unbelievable, illustrious career, Cammy. But what I'm
most proud of with you is watching these little girls
just look up to you. And now it's going to
end and they're never gonna look up to you anymore. No,
I'm just kidding, not true, So just your thoughts, Cam.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
I'm just like on that break, there's just so many
things that I'm gonna take away. It's really hard to
put into words just just one thing, but I would
say just overall, just a huge feeling of gratitude. Who
get to experience being on a team and getting to
be surrounded by so many people, like just coaching staff
and teammates that are passionate about something that we all
(01:32):
love and it just brings out the best in you.
And something college sports taught me is like, if you
really want to if you really want to accomplish something
in life, it's gonna be hard and that's what makes
something special. And I've been able to do that with
a group of people who I love, which makes it
even more special. So just as I can sine, you
(01:52):
go through life, just reminding myself to not take time
for granted with anybody. Over the past four years when
seems like a lot, but you blink and then all
my friends are moving either back to California or Florida
wherever it is, and just don't take for granted who
you're with in the moment, and just knowing like God
has a plan for you and whatever situation you're in,
(02:13):
to make the most of it. And you can make
a real impact if you focus on the bigger things
in life versus just maybe being all about your performance
on the field or whatever is next.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
So Mikayla has some questions to coach about nutrition and
things like that. That's funny because when our producer Chris
called you both, He's like, funny, Mindy, I called your
daughter and I woke her up from napping.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
She was sleeping.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
So Karen, yeah, like you mentioned, you know in passing
about first of all, sleep, you mentioned that in their
first segment. So what kind of sleep do you ask
from from these athletes to allow their bodies to repair
and heal and repair and heal and prepare for the
next game.
Speaker 6 (02:55):
Oh well, I mean we you know, obviously, we have
curfews that they go. We have a rule that they're
not allowed to be on social media after ten thirty pa.
I think that takes so really Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
And Kimmy, did you follow that rule? I know how
you are on TikTok.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Of course, love sleep this is a great question for us.
Speaker 6 (03:19):
Awesome, So sleep, Yeah, so I I And we do
make them eat breakfast because we do think that's the
most important, most important meal of the day, and so
that is something that that we do. But I mean
I don't dictate like what time they go to bed
or anything. I know a lot of them have those
(03:39):
aura rings and all of those fun stuff that that
you know makes their they check on their sleep for them.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
So yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
And then on the nutrition parts, Since you were saying
breakfast most important meal of the day, especially in the
day and age when you know so many people talk
about intermittent fasting and all these things. How much protein
do these gals have to get, you know, because like
some of us are in that stage of life where
it's all about protein for an athlete. How much protein
are you asking them to get? And how from a
nutrition standpoint does that part look too for a winning season.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
Well, fortunately they don't have to listen to me on
that because they have someone who is a nutritionist. We
have a nutritionist on staff that they get to meet
with that they can have help bring them go to
the grocery store and say buy this, not that we
have the nest that has food for athletes, So I
(04:36):
tell them to utilize it. But I'm glad they don't
listen to me because my favorite food group.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
This week yeah carbs.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Right.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
So yeah, so we only have a couple more minutes left,
and now it looks like the Big Ten Network has
announced that you guys did get the fourth seed. You'll
be playing the winner of Northwestern Purdue. How do you
prepare as a coach? You know, you've got real coach,
a young team as far as Big ten tournament experience.
You have a couple of players who have been there,
(05:06):
but you've got a lot of your players who haven't
been to a Big ten tournament. How do you keep
it just you know what, don't let it get bigger
than the moment itself. How do you keep everybody on
the same page.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
Well, we treat it like every other other game that
we have. We take it one at a time. We
don't care who's pitching or anything like that, so it
doesn't matter who we face. And so we go in
preparing what we need to do and not what we
need to do for somebody else. And I think a
lot of people get caught up on that. So a
(05:39):
lot of times I tell them, you have to do
what you do. We have to do what we do
as a team and not worry about the outside noise
because if we get away from what we do, then
we're going to be in territories we can't understand. So
I think this weekend, it's one game at a time,
just like it is all season. The only different this
(05:59):
time is that everyone zero zero and zero, right, So
and that's we've already talked about that. Hey, new season,
it's zero zero and we just do what we do
and nothing else.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
I've heard that so much in sports.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
In the life of entrepreneurs, you can't worry about what
everybody else is doing.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
You focus on what you do well.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
You continue your hustle day and day out, and that's
how you make things happen.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
Yeah, because if you if you look ahead, then you're
gonna miss the moment, right, like if you if we
looked ahead. You know, obviously our Michigan series is huge,
but at the beginning of the year, I told them
that series does not matter if we don't take care
of business right, and that's exactly what they did. So,
like we got to that point that that series was
(06:47):
not only big because it was a rival game, but
it is because it was a seed for the Big
Ten right in the regular season. But we they went,
they went one game at a time and didn't falter,
didn't matter. They were down every game, that came back
every game. And that's where like the next game does
(07:08):
not matter if you don't take care of business the
game before.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Kamie, what about being a senior leader on this team?
And I'm not just saying that because you're my daughter.
I mean there's other senior leaders on the team as well,
and sophomore leaders. Everybody has their own role. But how
do you keep people kind of loose? And more than anything,
I think people begin at a very early age to
play sports because it's fun. It's fun, So how do
(07:31):
you keep the teammates that you have from having fun
and enjoying every moment along the way, whether you win
or you lose.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
I think this team does a good job of having fun.
I think that we really get along, which is really special.
But I think at heart, there's be on a team.
You know, you get a lot of different characters over
the years, and you know everyone wants to be really good.
But you know, I wouldn't use the word selfish to
describe any single person on this team, and it's just
(08:01):
really cool to see how every girl puts the team
first and winning first, and everyone might not have the
role that they want to be in on a team,
but everyone makes the most of their role and we
all try to let each other know that, like every
person is impacting this team and pouring into the success
that the team is having. And I think that's what
makes this team so special and it's allowing us to
(08:23):
have fun and also perform so well. Is because we
appreciate being on a team with so many amazing people
that are also amazing athletes. So I think just like
relying on one another and continuing not to just be teammates,
but like we're we're all really good friends.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
The team chemistry is huge. You guys, you both for
coming on the air. Best of luck to k make
this thing last as long as possible, because I don't
want it to ever end, ever, ever, ever, So let's
do what.
Speaker 6 (08:53):
Yes, of course, and thank you for everyone for their support.
These young ladies, what they do on and off the
field is just incredible and I know sometimes you only
see one part of it, and you know, I hope
you guys get to know them in different ways.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Also, that's a great point, really good point.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Go get them ladies and go Bucks, Go Bucks. This
is what Matters on sixteen WTV.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
You know what, before we get to our next segment,
and stay tuned because you guys are going to have
a chance to win tickets. Kayla and I love to
do giveaways here we do. But we have a caller,
Michael on the air, who was listening to the last segment. Michael,
you wanted to say something real fast about your daughter
apparently played softball for the buck guys.
Speaker 7 (09:37):
No, my sister did. She's actually in the block Over
Hall of Fame. Yeah, she was a great player. But
my father and uncles are in the Fast Pitch Hall
of Fame in Oklahoma. And I grew up playing softball hall,
which I pitched up two I was sixty years old.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
And we're lucky to have you as a What Matters listener.
Speaker 7 (09:57):
Awesome Facebook, Come a Facebook, wasn't there, Mendy. I love
her post.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
I love.
Speaker 7 (10:05):
Religious So I want to thank you for that, thank you.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
For following along.
Speaker 7 (10:11):
Yeah, and then the thing that disappoints me about the
women's thanks to be no place for college. The things
that I wonder if.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
You you're kind of in it, you're kind of in
and out, Michael, But I do I think the question
you asked was what disappoints you is there's no place
to play after college and if you'd heard anything about
that changing, mindy, or if there's any opportunity.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
There is a professional league, it's not a lot of
players aren't invited to it because they don't have a
lot of teams. Cammy is thinking about playing over in
Italy the following year, So you're right, there's nothing like
the MLB. They're they're trying to have some things, but
it's just not well received. To tell you the truth.
They are bringing the Olympics. They are bringing softball back
to the Olympics.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
So there's that.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
But yeah, that's true. And and softball across the board,
called softball, especially at the D one level, is grown
so much. I mean, you look at these game after
game after game, they're getting sold out, sold out, so
out all across the country. Maybe that'll change, you know,
in the future. But we're so glad that you listened
and that you called in. We do appreciate it, all.
Speaker 7 (11:14):
Right, Well, thank you, and I love the segment you
had on about the vaccine. I was one of the
first calors that called into your station when you had
a show about the vaccine, and I was telling you
that I knew more people who died from the vaccine
than I knew that died from COVID. I don't know
if you remember that call, but I was really there's so.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Many calls dealing with that that it's a while ago.
It was a while ago. Yeah, but no, we're glad
you listened. We really are. Thank you so much, Michael.
Speaker 7 (11:40):
Let's see it by bye.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Jim Fisher Kapa in with us. Jim, I love your
sweatshirt people on Facebook Live. Can you show this sweatshirt
like it has everything on it?
Speaker 5 (11:50):
I'm on brand if nothing else.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Ohio and Palace and Southern and Kappa.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
All the theaters. Yes, did encompass what you all do.
Speaker 8 (11:59):
Indeed, and of course we work hand in hand with
folks at the Lincoln Theater with the McCoy Theater in
New Albany, and I'm probably oh, the Rife Center Theater
is in the State Office Building downtown, so I don't
want to leave those out. But these are our three
sort of heart and soul spaces and so yeah, it's cool.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
I mean, you know, can you buy that switcher anywhere?
Speaker 5 (12:18):
I can?
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Good? You know you guys might want to think about
selling that eventually. I think people will buy it.
Speaker 8 (12:24):
Yeah, I don't make those kinds of decisions. I think
you may have an inflated sense of my importance at KAMPA.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
The performing arts in general in central Ohio and across
the state, because I know Cleveland Cincinnati are pretty active
as well. Why is it so big here?
Speaker 5 (12:41):
I think there's a bunch of different reasons.
Speaker 8 (12:43):
One, we have a real diverse demographic population here in Columbus,
right and across the state. But I'm thinking specifically in Columbus,
I feel maybe a little bit more, you know, like
I can speak to that a little bit better. So
everybody has something. A lot of things will cross over generationally,
(13:04):
but everybody has something, right, There's something that is happening
in the market that everybody wants to go to. I
think the other thing is that we're have a lot
of educational institutions here in Columbus, not just Ohio state,
but like Capital Auterbine, Ohio, Dominican Again, I'm going to
leave a bunch of places out and then if you
(13:25):
go the next ring around, you know, like Mount Vernon,
or you know, like my daughter went to Wittenberg, which
isn't all that far away, right, So, which reminds me
of something.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
If I could get off this topic for just a second.
I know this is your show, but I would.
Speaker 8 (13:40):
I was listening on the way in about the softball
season and how you don't want it to end, and
how you know at some point in time it's going
to be your.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Last thing, everything, whether it's a show or whatever.
Speaker 8 (13:52):
My daughter graduated from college in twenty twenty when the
world was shut down, we didn't know when to make
Now we're not the only ones who exist in this world, right,
There were a lot of people who experienced the same thing.
My sort of lesson about that is you don't know
always when the last one is going to be. Sometimes
(14:15):
you do, but a lot of times you don't. So
don't wait until when you think it's going to be
the end or the last one, to like just dive
all the way in.
Speaker 5 (14:26):
Like Mindy has with the Sophomore.
Speaker 8 (14:29):
I don't mean you didn't wait till the end, you
dove in, is what I'm saying, so dive in early,
like Mindy did, don't wait until you think it's going
to be the end, because you never know, you're crazy.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Things happened, you know what when you talk about that,
And Mikayla and I used to do a senior salute
because so many of the seniors didn't get their graduations,
They didn't get those moments. A lot of them were
supposed to perform in a live theater. So what they
did is they made videos of them, and then national
news stations would run some of these videos. So what
(15:02):
happened was big time stars were looking at high school
performances for entertainment, right.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Truly, Yeah, it's a pretty cool thing to yes, right.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
But yes, and we did.
Speaker 8 (15:11):
We were people are resourceful, right, and so we made
the best of that situation.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
But we didn't know, Like my daughter, we didn't know.
Speaker 8 (15:19):
When it was going to be her last week or
we went to her last choir concert, but we expected
to have more in the spring, but we didn't have one. Right,
And as painful as it was for us, imagine how
it was for her, right, because she and her friends
should be doing a thing and then getting together afterwards,
and you know, sort of commiserating about it and celebrating
all that kind of thing. So I encourage everybody to
(15:41):
follow Mindy's example. You just dive all the way all
the way. Yeah, dive all the way in whatever your
kids are doing, and got all the way with it.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
I'm going to apply this to what we're talking to
about right now too, with you specifically, Jim, because I
think about the shows that come to Columbus that you
don't know if they're coming back again.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
And if you.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Really have want to go see a show, you gotta
go see it while it's here because it may not
come back again.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
You never know.
Speaker 8 (16:06):
And you know, artists continue to play uh into their
senior years, right, And if it's an artist that you're
a fan of, you just don't take for granted that
either you're going to get a chance to see them
again or oh I'm gonna skip this time, or oh whatever,
(16:27):
because again you just never know.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
I'm hoping you bring back Neil Diamond because I did
not get a chance to see that. There was a
softball game and I wouldn't have been able to go.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
It's so incredibly good.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Don't say that. Sorrysed to horrible.
Speaker 8 (16:40):
Nick Freddy Ganni. If you closed your eyes, you have
sworn Neil Diamond was right there on So I just
said sworn by the way, like I'm seventh grade, but
you'd have sworn. Yes, he was on American Idol. Yeah,
but again, close your eyes. It could have been Neil
Diamond for all I know. I've seen Neil him self
in concert a couple of times. Was my very first
(17:03):
concert that my folks took me to because they were
huge fans, and uh yeah, just absolutely just an incredible performance.
And I'm sorry that you missed it.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Oh yeah, it was.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
It was so different the waybe we can bring you
back they did the encore was it was just so different.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
So sorry, yeah, sorry.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
It was awesome.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
You have three shows to go on the Broadway series.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
Yes, we do.
Speaker 8 (17:24):
About a month ago we announced our next season, which
is great and if you guys want to talk about that,
we can. But yes, before that happens, we are still
in the midst of our current Broadway season. Later this
month we have Stomp for a short run over a weekend.
And you remember that that was it was a huge
thing twenty five thirty years ago. Maybe yes, it's still
available if you want to see it thirty years ago
(17:47):
and you didn't. Right, this is exactly what we're talking about, right,
Go see Stomp. It's going to be great. You know
the trash can lips and that.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Was when I was in high school. Some thoughts.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Rhythm with basketball.
Speaker 8 (18:02):
Yes, it's just a fun show. You've never seen it,
you should see it again. I know that a lot
of people probably have already had the chance to see it,
but if you haven't seen it, you definitely need to
see it this time around. In June, we have a
great show called Kimberly a Kimbo. It's a brand new,
originally written piece for Broadway. So it's it's not like
(18:24):
Neil Diamond where it's the story of a person told
through their music. Right, it's actually composed and a brand
adapted from a stage play and turned into a musical.
And it's about a young woman who has a condition
where she ages unnaturally.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
She's sixteen years.
Speaker 8 (18:43):
Old, she's in high school, she looks like she's sixty
years old. And so it talks a little bit about
sort of her coming to grips with this and how
she sort of overcomes it and and plays it off
and like, so it's it's her name's Kimberly, and she
just is.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
It's a great.
Speaker 8 (19:01):
Story about perseverance and about the journey that we're all
on and how we can share in each other's journey together.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
So it wasn't the same story. But I just watched
a Hulu movie on that this family from Indiana who
adopted a girl from Ukraine, oh, being twenty two years old,
and yeah, there was wow yea and this really happened
in real life. So anyway, that just kind of reminded
me of that.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
Right, So, what's the last one Hamilton you may have
heard of?
Speaker 1 (19:25):
I've never seen you.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
So I really want I want Mindy to see this.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
I've seen Hamilton twice in live theater, so in New
York and Chicago, and then I've seen it obviously in
the Disney Channel a lot. Mindy, I hope you go
because Minny's not sure, right, So she's not sure about it.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
Well, how will you know if you're sure unless you go?
Speaker 1 (19:48):
I don't know. I'll try it.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
Yeah, check it out. I went.
Speaker 8 (19:53):
The first time I went. I went with my daughter,
a huge theater kid, huge Broadway fan. She absolutely loved it.
And you know, there's no possible way I could have
enjoyed it as much as she did because she just
so over the top about getting to be uh in
the room where it happened. Sorry, that's a line from
the show.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Room where it happened.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
That's the one, yes, I saw. Sorry slanted.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
I would say about the politics at the time, That's
how I would put it, but I couldn't really tell
you like Republican versus Democrat?
Speaker 5 (20:28):
Who was It was all different.
Speaker 8 (20:31):
There were wigs and all that stuff back in the
revolutionary days anyway.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
But the Mormon would be harder for you than Hamilton.
And I sat next to you for.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Book A More Good Lord, and I was with my son. Yeah,
I think, oh my gosh, that the language and the
Mormon thing. I was embarrassed to be with my son.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
But it was it was culture.
Speaker 8 (20:51):
My daughter took me to see Book of Mormon because
she wanted me to see it.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
This is this is experiencing culture and life, right, that's
what we do.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Indeed, I think you can experience that without your kids
by your side or some of the movies.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
Look, I wanted to imagine, I imagine sitting there with
your parents. Bi No, I.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Thought, because listen I used to take my mom when
you would send over media tickets. I took my mom
to so many different ones. I did think of that
at the moment. I'm like, honestly, thank goodness, Mom isn't
here with me with this one.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
I need to tell you a story off air, and
I will.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Okay, So listen, we're gonna take a quick break. When
we come back there, you're gonna do ticket giveaways, right,
we'll talk.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
About a few other things. Yeah, coming up.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Okay, So call the phone, call the lineup. Just tell
us your favorite Broadway show you've ever seen or that
you want to see, and we'll give you, guys tickets.
You're gonna win, win, win.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
So we have four sets, go ahead and give out
the phone number. Should we go ahead and do it?
Speaker 1 (21:40):
We are able to do which phone number? Chris, Oh,
I don't know eight two one nine eight eight six.
We can't do that one anymore.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Oh, I don't even know six one.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Four eight two one nine eight eight six six one
four eight two one nine eight eighty six. Call that
number and we will get you guys hooked up with
free summer ticket movie stuff.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
