Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
W m OE and the Mulla Broadcasting That probably was
that The Big Mo Podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
The Big Mo.

Speaker 1 (00:07):
Podcast is brought to you by Farma twenty four Bassmen
Electric and reve Landscaping and now your hosts Andy Nagel
and Big Mo Barrett.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
We have a special Big Mo Podcast. Get your Stein.
What do they is it called Stein? This is a
special rendition of the Big Mo Podcast. It would have
been better if we did this in October, but it's
Octoberfest in April. Here at Big Mo. We are talking

(00:38):
German today and I'm excited about this. We're no, no,
I can barely talk. Andy Nagle, Big Mo Barrett. We
have a special rendition of the Big Mo Podcast as
we are bringing the four German Exchange students who are
here at Mohler High School to experience everything that is
great here at Moehler coming from Germany and spending some

(01:00):
time with our young men here. We're going to talk
to them. We're gonna talk to Linda Adams, who is
the share of World Languages here at Moeler High School
and also the Global Scholars. We'll talk to her in
a minute. She's kind of leading this exchange program in Germany.
But I'm excited. I'm excited to talk a little Germany.

Speaker 3 (01:20):
Yeah, maybe talk a little football, like the real football.
I think that's big in Germany, isn't it. You know what?
We should also ask him to how big really is
the NFL in Germany? You hear about it.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
Here's a little did you know? I don't think you
knew this. My brother played for Frankfort as she calls it, Frankfurt, Frankfurt, Germany.
He played for Frankfurt. Actually he played for another team
over there too. Loved it, absolutely loved his time over there,
getting to travel the world, and went to not Austria
but Amsterdam, Amsterdam and got to travel all of your

(01:57):
great opportunity for him, But once you would love to
have the experience to travel internationally when you were in
high school.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
If I could speak the language, I think it would
be really neat. But now with heck, with the cell phones.
I mean, you know, you just do a translate real quick.
I mean we do that with a cleaning crew.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Which die a coke and German. As long as I
could get that, I'd be good to go. All right,
we're talking Germany today. It's gonna be a lot of
fun looking forward to having these guys in the studio.
When we come back from a break, we'll have linda's
In's atoms in the studio. Kind of set the table,
if you will, the German table of the guys that
we're going to talk to you a little bit later.
We might also at the end break away from the

(02:37):
Germany talk. And I think we might have Kendall Kneehause,
the daughter of the PRESIDENTE Jason Kneehouse. I think we'll
find out if she's able to make it in or not.
She's a mountain Notre Dame. I think she's a mount
under Dame.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
Then we get some dirt on Dad.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
You know what, that's a great idea. We'll have to
get in at all. I think Linda In is in
the green room right now. We're gonna take a break,
step out. We'll be back talking to lindis In's Adam.

Andi Dangel, when I hear this, do you know what
I think of?

Speaker 3 (04:13):
I think of October Fast bears, brats and sausages and crowd.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
I was thinking the price is right the yodler, Yeah,
I was thinking of it. Regardless. We are talking German Germany,
German Germany, and the four exchange students are visiting Mohler
High School for three weeks. They came at the end
of March. This kind of gets you into that German
October Fest field, doesn't it? And I thought it would

(04:39):
be apropos to kick this special segment off with my
good friend and yours, Linda Zenz Adams, who is running
the show here. Linda, can you sing this song for
me with me? What bushell?

Speaker 4 (04:55):
Tight?

Speaker 2 (04:57):
Linda? Where do we start? I mean? We got four
German exchange students that are visiting Moeler for three weeks.
They are, and I'm sure you're going to talk a
little bit about this. They're from an organization called the
Friendship Connection. Our students can simpally host a student from
Germany each spring, or participate fully in the exchange by
traveling as you put in the summer to stay with

(05:20):
exchange students family attend school in Germany. How cool is this?
The exchange affords our students and theirs, I think right
to learn from one another during their visit and then
travel with the host families to experience other events and
places outside of school during the Easter break. First of
and foremost, how cool is this?

Speaker 5 (05:38):
It's very cool. I'm glad that we have it back.
It's been on a little bit of a break due
to COVID. We had a lot of momentum leading up
to that, and I had students doing the full hosting,
so I'm hoping to see that happen going forward. There's
a lot of positive buzz with these four that are here,
so I think the last time we it was we

(06:01):
were trying in twenty twenty because I was trying to
send a student and then COVID hit and we took
a break and the organization went virtual, so they were
trying to match up students and I with time and everything,
I just didn't get to it. And this year I
was like, Okay, let's see if we can bring it back.
And I think we have our largest hosting group four.
I think typically we saw two or three at MAX

(06:24):
and now we have four and they're all in my
Level three groups. So the juniors are hosting, and it
was so cool. The very first night that they arrived,
they were very jet lag. It took twenty four or
LUs hours to get here. They didn't get picked up
till three am their first day of school. We had
a great exchange in class and then I was driving
home and I saw two of them running with our

(06:46):
long distance runners, and the one was in the very
front and I was like, whoa, they're gonna be so tired.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
Yeah, we're talking to Linda's AND's Adam the World Language
Chair in shamanat Global scholars coordinator here at Big Mo.
And I think what people probably and Andy, you and
I always talk about this is, you know, when you
pull back the curtains here at Mueller High School and
you look at all the stuff happening here. I don't
think people, you know, we look at the main event
this weekend. People have no clue, no clue. Teachers here

(07:15):
have no clue how much work goes into putting an event,
a two and a half hour event on. I don't
think people have any idea how much it takes, how
much work it takes to put what you're doing on
the amount of work behind the scenes leading. I think
probably when they get here that's easy part, right, but
or when we send our young men over there. But
the work leading up to something like this, insurance, travel,

(07:40):
all the things that go into that. How labor intensive
is that? How much time do you put into that?

Speaker 6 (07:44):
This is easy?

Speaker 5 (07:46):
The Friendship Connection is a very strong organization. The woman
that runs that she took over for her father, who
was a German teacher in Ohio and he retired and
so his daughter is keeping it alive. And the vetting
process that they have in Germany is spectacular because we
have always had a positive experience with our students that

(08:06):
come from Germany. The only thing I have to do
is come up with activities in the class to keep
everyone active and busy. We had a good exchange the
first day, you know, trying to keep the language going
and learning from each other. And then on Monday, we
allowed the Americans to bring their favorite food item to
share with them, and so we had like a food
and drink day and they they got to experience some

(08:29):
new items and they had to rate them, and it
was just fun to see them just let go and
just talk to each other. And then if they have time,
they come in my other classes, and yesterday I had
one come into my AP class and we spoke one
hundred percent German. They exchanged information and just learned from
each other. And for me, it's just keeping everyone doing

(08:50):
academic things in the classroom and then checking in on them.
They do have a chaperone teacher that comes in about
the first couple days to check in to make sure
that everything's going well with the host families, which they
are our molar families are spectacular, and the things that
they were doing. They were texting me, Hey, we're at
jungle gyms this weekend, and they were exploring this, that

(09:11):
and everything, and the smiles that they have, I mean
both the Americans and the Germans, you know, And that's
the fun part.

Speaker 6 (09:17):
I've done exchanges.

Speaker 5 (09:18):
I've been teaching thirty two years, and I used to
do this on a regular basis where I would match
like twenty kids up and then I would take them abroad.

Speaker 6 (09:27):
This is easier because it's.

Speaker 5 (09:29):
Done by this organization so well, and we just have
to make sure that we keep the learning going and
hopefully it is a long term friendship that they can
maybe visit each other later.

Speaker 3 (09:41):
Letting to talk about for those that don't know, including myself,
how does the curriculum compare in the States obviously to German?
I mean, is it a one through eight and in
a like a nine through twelve high school or I
mean talk a little bit about that.

Speaker 5 (09:59):
So all four of these students from Germany are from
the Ganasium. So there after fourth grade, it's determined which
track you're going to go to Are you going to
be a blue collar worker or are you going to
work like an office and do something with accounting.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
The fourth graders they know exactly what they want to do.

Speaker 6 (10:17):
So all four of these boys, I have.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
A junior has no idea what to do yet.

Speaker 5 (10:22):
Right, there's different ways around it. I mean, if you
do get placed in the middle track, you can finish
that middle track and get your diploma and and what
you need to do, and you can move over to
what's called the college the college prep track, which is
the gnasium, and that if you do well in the ganasium,
and that's why it's determined for you, because they watch you.
My friend's son is in the south and it's a

(10:45):
little stricter. These students are from Hessen, which is in
the area of Frankfurt. But it's relatively the same veries
state by state. But once they get through the exam
for the ganasium, college is free.

Speaker 6 (10:56):
Oh wow, so it is it is?

Speaker 5 (10:59):
Well you yeah, yeah, So some states, some states will
go to the twelfth grade and some went back to
the thirteenth grade to prepare them. So these four boys
are preparing for college. So they're in that academic track
that's going to lead them hopefully to that.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
That's fantastic talk about some of our guys that are
we going over there eventually.

Speaker 5 (11:19):
Eventually, I mean these four elected not to go. I
do other things like through EF and I want to
kind of get this to grow a little bit bigger
because in the past we did have a student go
and he stayed with a doctor and he was able
to go into an operation room and observe. So they're
able to do things like that. I'm hoping to see

(11:40):
next year and maybe the year after that that students
will take advantage of this fool because it's a little
bit cheaper, so you're kind of compensated for what you
do when they're hosting here and then you go over there.
So it's going to be probably half away an EF
trip costs and they can stay for three weeks. At
the EF trips that we do, our prepackaged trips, there's

(12:02):
not an exchange factor to it. They're not staying with families.
This I think is much better for our students because
to be immersed in the language is gonna be incredible
for them their language growth. Because a lot of these kids,
if they go before their senior year and then they
come in and do AP. It kind of gives them
that little boost that they can parlay it to get

(12:22):
a CEO by literacy or get college credit through AP
because to use the German language, you know, we don't
have many opportunities. So this is the reason why I
wanted the friendship connection to bring that back. So the
students see there are people in the world who speak
German and they can communicate with them and have a
little sense of pride that.

Speaker 6 (12:41):
Wow, I was able. That's what I was witnessing.

Speaker 5 (12:44):
And the Germans were kind of surprised too with the
AP guys, how good they were, and that that made
me feel good to see that they were talk Yeah,
that that affirmation's there because they're a month out from
taking that AP and we've been working so hard and
we have a really strong group and it looks like
we're going to get.

Speaker 6 (13:02):
Quite a few Sealed by literacyes.

Speaker 5 (13:04):
So I knew that they could hold the conversation for
ninety minutes, and I just sat back and I just
guided them, And you know, it's a wonderful thing.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
All the fruits of your labor come to fruition.

Speaker 5 (13:14):
And if they can go abroad, and we do have
like the student that got denied the opportunity to go
abroad because of COVID.

Speaker 6 (13:25):
He's doing fine.

Speaker 5 (13:26):
He got the sealed by Littercy in German and right
now he's in Germany, so he finally got to go.

Speaker 6 (13:32):
And he wrote me recently.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
And I think English in German.

Speaker 6 (13:36):
He wrote it all in German.

Speaker 5 (13:36):
I knew it wasn't Ai, it was it was I
know I And that's what's so funny. I know what
these guys can all do, and so it was great
to see that it came from him.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
So when I send you something in a Textans Germany,
you know, it's very obvious. So dang it.

Speaker 3 (13:50):
Same thing when I do that in that news and.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
English, and yeah, it's pretty obvious. You know. I think
it'd be fun if you actually had a chaperone go
with you that do some videos on an EF trip
highlight everything you're doing. Just f y.

Speaker 5 (14:04):
I well, the EF trips are different, you know, because
we just kind of sight see and and they don't
get to immerse themselves this.

Speaker 6 (14:11):
They get to stay with the family.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
So like the kids that are I don't think she's
picking up what I was laying down. Yes she did.
She just right over it. Not interested. So who do
we have coming up here? We have we're gonna be
after we take a break. We're gonna have four young
men from Germany who have been here at Mulor High
School since March twenty first, you.

Speaker 5 (14:32):
Said it was the end of March. I think it
was the thirty first that they were. It was a
very very long day. They didn't get picked up till
three am because the winds tell us.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
A little bit about these guys that we're gonna hear.

Speaker 6 (14:42):
So we're gonna hear.

Speaker 5 (14:43):
I think you'll, you'll, you'll, they'll equally speak. MAXI has
been really good. He was in my ap class and
guided things and I made it very clear when he
walked in and he They abide by everything, and they're
very conscientious to answer questions and do well. Luca is
I think the eight year old, and that's who the
chaperone was able to communicate with while they were stuck

(15:04):
in New York because we didn't know if they're going
to make it in. And then we have Hannas and Clemens.
So Luca, Hannas, Clemens, and Maxie.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
I can't wait we're going to have those guys on
the backside of a break lit of thanks for everything
you've done to spearhead this. It's a lot of work.
I know you take so much pride and in the
in your role here at Moueler High School. And I
kind of actually look at your official title again Chair
World Language, World Language Chair and Shamanaugh Global Scholars. There's

(15:35):
some people, I guess in any job that just do
their job. Get out of here at three o'clock check
the box. You're all in and thank you for that.
And we're excited to highlight some of your guys in
the next segment, Get and dunk. You're welcome. I think
we'll be back talking to the Germans ex MENI Molar
here on w MOOE and the Molar Broadcasting Network.

Speaker 7 (15:56):
If you need electric work in your home or business,
give the pros Accraftsman Electric, a family business owned by
Mullargrads Crassman, has won the Anti Super Service Award fifteen
years in a row. Craftsman Electric quality craftsmanship. It's in
their name.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
The guys are laughing. I knew they would because if
I were to play American music with the high school
guys at Moeller they would probably laugh. I have no
idea what this song is. I type German music in
and this came up. So this is what you guys get.
But I gotta get some Austria for you. I got
Luca Maximilian, both from Germany here at Moeller High School,

(16:33):
and I am Silas who's from Austria. So, guys, first
and foremost, welcome to the Big mo Podcast.

Speaker 8 (16:41):
Thanks for having I see.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
All this is gonna be fun. I don't even know
where to start, so we just talked to Now you
call missus Zen's Adam, explain what you call her again?

Speaker 8 (16:49):
Luca just called a fra frau, the Gemmen version of Missus.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
All right, so frow Zen's atoms or well frau whatever
whatever that might be in the classroom. Let's start with Luca.
Have you ever been to the United States before?

Speaker 8 (17:04):
No, it's a first time.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
First time, and you landed on April first, right, which
is April Fool's Day. You landed on April Fool's Day.
Do you have April Fol's Day in Germany? Yeah? We have? Okay,
so what what when you first? Let's lead up to it.
You obviously created this relationship to this program that we
talked about with Frowsins Adams, and now you come to
the United States. It's here you finally jump on a plane.
You're coming to the United States. What was your perception

(17:27):
of the United States before you got over here?

Speaker 8 (17:31):
I got over here, so it was excited because I
know from the social media and maybe also the music
and the movie, so I had an imagination of the
US and how it's going to be. But it was
completely different, and I just maybe realized that now a
few days later, how it really is. So when we
went jogging with the track team, we just went I

(17:52):
heard you.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
Were smoking him. I heard you were out in front.
Is that true?

Speaker 8 (17:56):
I wouldn't say that. There some very strong guys on
the show.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
How cool was it to have an opportunity, not just
for you guys, but for our guys that eventually will
go over there, to have an opportunity to travel abroad
at as a high school student. How cool was that
to have that opportunity.

Speaker 8 (18:15):
It's so cool. I tried to Lestian didn't get in.
So I was so happy that it worked this time,
and I could find the CDs all right.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
When you landed in the US. What was the first
thing you did when you landed? Obviously you met you
met your host family, right, But what was the first
thing you did? What was the first like Reds games
since they they weren't even playing yet, but was the skyline?
Chili the roses? What was the first thing you did?

Speaker 8 (18:39):
So we came here at two am, three am, so
we just went to sleep.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
You went to sleep, that was the first thing you did.

Speaker 9 (18:47):
That's true.

Speaker 8 (18:47):
And in the morning we went here to the school,
and after that we had a skyline and we went
to all the big grocery your markets. So I was
really excited to see. Yeah, what's the difference is between
the school and the grocery seet stores between the US
and Germany.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
I mean, yes, you didn't like the skyline, did you?
Too sweet?

Speaker 9 (19:06):
Too sweet?

Speaker 2 (19:07):
No? It was good, you like, Yeah, that surprised me.
All right, let's go to Max. Max You obviously guys
were on the same flight right coming over here. Exactly
what was it like when you laid it? What was
You're finally in the United States? How cool was that? Yeah?
It was great.

Speaker 10 (19:23):
I couldn't believe it myself, looking out of these windows
at the New York airport and is.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
That where you guys flew into New York City? How
cool was that? That was?

Speaker 9 (19:32):
Unfortunately, I mean I was sitting in the middle row.

Speaker 10 (19:35):
But besides that, it was cloudy, so we weren't able
to see that much. But when as we arrived, we
could see through the windows and could see powers of
the skyland. It was really amazing. Yeah, just it felt
a bit a little bit unreal. I had to realize
that I'm just in the United States. And but as

(19:55):
he just said, we had a little bit of delay,
so we were tired as well as.

Speaker 2 (19:59):
Sure in Cincinnati. I remember when I landed in Israel
and Tel Aviv. I went on a pilgrimage to the
Holy Land, and I remember, you know, you grow up
and I'm fifty years old now, but you know, especially
back when there was a lot of war going on,
back when people in the United States weren't going to
Israel and to actually land, it was just it was
a surreal feeling, like I'm here. I can't believe a

(20:22):
lot of planning went into it, and now I'm actually
literally landing into Tel Aviv. It was kind of a
surreal moment. Did you have that same thing when you
were landing.

Speaker 9 (20:30):
Yeah, I had to say.

Speaker 10 (20:32):
When we departed in Frankfurt, I was kind of excited
and hyped up for it, and when we arrived it
definitely felt a little bit unreal. And in the first
moment I just realized, well, we just landed in New York.
I'm just in the United States right now. And yeah, then
we just went through all of the controls and had
it over towel gate and waited fourth flight to Cincinnati.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
Now, are you guys familiar with NFL Europe at all?
Have you ever heard of the Frankfurt Galaxy. Yeah, we
have a little kinship here. My brother played for the
Frankfurt Galaxy and spent a bunch of time in Frankfurt.
Loved it over there. All right, I'm going to get
to I certainly want to get to Silast and talk
a little Austria in a minute here. But what if
we'll go back to you, Luca, what is the most

(21:18):
the most impressionable thing that you've experienced, Like when you
go home back to Germany. I think after spring breaking
about a week or so, you guys are going to
be heading back right a little over weeks, two weeks.
What what have you learned most. And it could be
the academics here in the United States. It may be socially,
maybe the food. Holistically, what are you going to take

(21:38):
back to German? What have you learned most about the
culture here in the United States? Overarching, so I.

Speaker 8 (21:47):
Would say it's not typical American thing, but that we
are at the Catholic school, and so I also believe
in God and Jesus Christian, so, but I didn't know
what it.

Speaker 9 (22:01):
Would be like at the school.

Speaker 11 (22:02):
So the school was.

Speaker 8 (22:03):
The most difference than back home.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
Isn't that a beautiful thing about the Catholic Church. It's
whether you go to Israel, Germany, United States, the Catholic
Mass is the same everywhere, which is a beautiful thing.
So it's a little piece of home right here in
the United States. That's that's insightful. What about you, Max, Yeah,
I can you guys can take photos. I see take
some photos. You guys can get your cameras out. Don't

(22:27):
be bashful. I see you guys taking photos. Go ahead.

Speaker 10 (22:29):
I would definitely agree with Luca. The mass was awesome.
I'm also used that from my school as we do
those as well, less frequently, but we do those and
Besides that, what really was a nice experience was I
was taken to jungle gyms and also another mall this weekend,
and just the jungle gym.

Speaker 2 (22:49):
You went to jungle gyms. Yeah, place is crazy even
for us over here. That place.

Speaker 10 (22:53):
Yeah, I have never been to a grocery store that
has been something like this.

Speaker 9 (22:59):
It was art was massive.

Speaker 10 (23:01):
It covered almost every imaginable thing that you might purchase
in such a store.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
Found. Did you find the German food in there?

Speaker 10 (23:08):
I found German food that I didn't even find in Germany,
such as I believe Austrian guy knows that we call
them like Mozart Cogan. Yeah, and they stopped the production
I believe Yugo or something.

Speaker 11 (23:22):
In Austria.

Speaker 2 (23:22):
Yeah, I think we have well in Germany.

Speaker 11 (23:24):
At least they stopped Germany.

Speaker 10 (23:26):
Yeah, so we don't have those in Germany anymore, not really,
And I was surprised I found them in the US.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
That was that's crazy. Let's talk to silos of versilus.
I noticed you. If I saw you on the streets,
now clearly you two, I would I would hear the accent.
I'm not sure I hear an accent from you at all.
You I would think you're just from the west side
of Cincinnati. Tell me about where you where? Where in
Austria are you from.

Speaker 11 (23:50):
I'm from Vienna, the capitalist.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
City right now, I hear it a little bit.

Speaker 12 (23:53):
Go ahead, Yeah, the capital city of Vienna. Austria is Vienna.
I here since January to second, so I'm.

Speaker 2 (24:03):
You've been here a little longer. Yeah, so what you
got some funny stories just with you Austria Germany and
Franz says, you guys got some funny stories about that
at all?

Speaker 11 (24:16):
You mean the difference between Austin.

Speaker 2 (24:18):
The different cultures, Yeah.

Speaker 12 (24:20):
I mean there are some differences. So there's one word
for tomato. For example, there's the word pakaa and the
word in the word tomata. I think, which is the
German one tomato? Yeah, pa is the Austrian word. In
my family, we don't use the word, but it's Austrian.

(24:43):
So yeah, we have some word differences.

Speaker 2 (24:45):
I'll ask you the same question, what was what's the
cultural thing? You're gonna be able to say? When? Now?
When do you go back? Do you go back around
the same time they do, or you hear longer?

Speaker 11 (24:53):
I go back when this semester ends.

Speaker 2 (24:56):
Okay, So What are you going to take back to
Austria that you kind of learned about the American culture,
things that you're going to take back with you.

Speaker 11 (25:04):
I think that I will take back.

Speaker 12 (25:06):
It's not specific American culture, but this whole spirit is
Catholic spirit. I got really a good experience here, and.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
Let me stop you. That excites me. Like I would
think you guys would talk about food or music or whatever.
You guys are talking about your faith, Like that's cool
because most guys your age don't talk about that. And
I asked you and you said it was your faith.
You kind of leaned on that a little bit too,
and then you went food a little bit, but you
kind of leaned on that too. Now you're talking about

(25:37):
faith as well. That's pretty powerful, is that what you've
kind of connected both the dots there?

Speaker 11 (25:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (25:44):
All right, So when you go back home, what are
you going to tell people about when you go back
to Aushu? And I'm gonna ask you guys the same thing.
What are you going to tell people about Archbishop Muler
High School? When they say what's Molar? Like, what are
you gonna say?

Speaker 12 (26:02):
It's a great school, That's what I can say.

Speaker 11 (26:07):
It's hard to find words.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
But how's it different from where you go to school
in Austria? And I'm not saying anything good or bad,
good persons, but I'm just saying what are the similarities
and maybe what are some differences. And I'll ask you
guys the same thing.

Speaker 12 (26:20):
So in Austria and Vienna, I go to a public school,
a magnet school, maybe you would say, because we have
to focus on art, dance and music. I'm in the
art focus and we're public. We have the pride flag
in front of our school. We have a lot of
crazy guys in our school, and we are girls and boys,

(26:42):
and more girls than boys. Typically we're twenty one or
twenty four students and there are only five boys in
my class. So the difference between all boys and a
lot of girls is I don't know which one is better,
but I think it's a good experience just to be
only boys.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
So I'll tell you guys a story. So when guys
come to Molar all right, and Andy Nagel, who's in
the green room, will probably attest to this. When they
come in as freshmen, they're like, oh man, it's only
guys here. And then when they graduate they say the
same thing, but it sounds different. When they come in,
they go, there's only guys here, and when they graduate,

(27:21):
they go, there were only dudes there. Like they're excited
by that by the time they leave, like, man, I'm
glad it was just all guys. When they came in,
they were like, I kind of wish there were girls here,
And then when they leave, they're like, this was awesome.
They have that brotherhood inside the school that you that's unique,
especially with what you said, Luca, what about you? What
are you gonna take back to Germany about Mohler High School?

Speaker 8 (27:44):
The same thing you said, Because when I went to
here and I talked about with my friends, Yeah, I'm
going to a public school, private school that's only boys,
all of them said, oh correct, Yeah, but no, I
just like get the feeling of it. It's like you
said about Ohood. Also with the different houses here at
Miller High and it's just cool because everybody thinks the same.

(28:07):
It's a lot of differences between girls and boys, and
so they can only focus on the part that boys
like the lessons, so it doesn't have the differences. And
I think it's effective.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
Yeah, And I think there's a lot of kids that
guys that come in here from different backgrounds, different cultures,
even from the United States. But it's one mission, one mission,
and everybody's together rowing in the same direction on that boat.
And when that happens, good things happen. Max are good
to you. Same question, what are you gonna take back?

Speaker 10 (28:35):
Definitely, I would agree with what both of them previously said.
I also like my school in Germany as Catholic and
private school as well, So some of the aspects here
I also have at my school. But what I really like,
and I think the Brotherhood describes it really well. This
school has kind of a tension that's kind of familiar,

(28:55):
even where everyone sticks together. And when I was watching
the Crusader game, these houses acted together and she had
but even after Pillar one, they were.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
By the way, that's the best house here. I'm a
Pillar guy, so I'm a little partial.

Speaker 8 (29:10):
That's true.

Speaker 2 (29:12):
Are were you guys putting the house when you got here?
Of course? Are you in? I never heard of them?
Go ahead? What house? Trinity, never heard of them? What house?
Never heard of them? Go ahead?

Speaker 10 (29:24):
And they they just went, They just went disappointed, and
they just felt like I just felt like everyone was
sticking together closely. Whilst in our school there are just
a couple of small groups and everyone's basically against each
other or like not really good with each other. You
don't do stuff with them privately and everything. And I

(29:45):
feel like that when I walk with my extra student
Adam on the highway and we meet people from the
volleyball team. We read each other, we talk with each other,
so it's like kind of familiar. People on the school
are closer with each other, and just I think a
way better experience when it comes to as you just said, Rota,
So the school's twength as a school that all of

(30:07):
the students all together out of school and represent the
school is the feeling of that is way way way
larger here compared to all plays.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
Well, this weekend, the Cincinnati Reds come back from San Francisco.
They're playing this weekend at Great American Ballpark. Tell your
host to get you down to Great American Ballpark so
you can say you saw a Cincinnati Red team. You
don't know this, but I do. They're gonna be World
Series champions and you guys can say you went to
a game. Deal, can we make that happen.

Speaker 11 (30:36):
We have the tickets for Sunday.

Speaker 2 (30:38):
You already got them perfect. I think I'm going to
that game too, and it's gonna be warmer that game.
It'll be sixty five. It'll be a perfect day for baseball, guys.
Thank you so much. I'm so happy for you, guys.
I told missus Lynd's Franz Frau not Franz Frau, that
I want to go to Germany and I want to
do a story next time they go over there. So
maybe we can reconnect over in Germany. You guys can

(31:00):
get me on your podcast over there. What's that today?

These guys are looking at you Big Bow and going.

Speaker 2 (32:31):
And I don't even know if this is German, because
you're gonna make fun of me here because we were
on a break. What I thought was German. I typed
in YouTube, Spotify German music, and then Silas lit me
up off the air.

Speaker 3 (32:44):
It's silent, and God bless him, such a nice kid,
so humble, but he waits till you go off the
air to say, by the way, the music you had.

Speaker 2 (32:54):
Was austri Austrian music, not German.

Speaker 3 (32:57):
So, guys, is this German?

Speaker 2 (32:59):
Same YouTube is just Germany? I have no idea either.

Speaker 3 (33:02):
They don't listen to this stuff. This is old people music.

Speaker 13 (33:05):
Now, we asked your compatriots for a German song to
lead in, and they were like, I don't know if
we could put that on the air because it might
have had some some language issues in there.

Speaker 11 (33:18):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (33:20):
I gotta find some better music. I think, what what
hold on here? That's hold on now, I gotta how
about a little cross eyes? Let's just hold on. We'll
go to some American music. Have I something that work? Well?
God bless Usa. I feel confident with that. All right,
we're talking Germany today, and we have Honis and Clemens

(33:44):
now on the buddies of the guys that were just
on here. Yes, of course, we just had of course Silas,
we had Luca and Max, and now we have Hannas
and Clemens here and guys, welcome to the Big MO Podcast.
Thank you? All right? Do you guys you look a
little more nervous than the other guys. I'm a little nerd.
You're making me nervous now, yeah, alright, you've never been

(34:05):
on a podcast. This is a big day for all
of us. Said, all right, So, Hannas, I want to
ask you, and I asked the other guys, what was
it like when you landed in the United States. How
cool was that?

Speaker 9 (34:15):
It was really cool. So it's my second time in
the States.

Speaker 2 (34:18):
Oh so you've been here before.

Speaker 14 (34:19):
Yeah, I've been to New York and it was really cool. Yeah,
so it was pretty cool too.

Speaker 2 (34:25):
You already had an expectation kind of of what to expect, right, Yeah,
what about you, Clemens.

Speaker 15 (34:31):
Yeah, it's my first time here and I really like it.
From first day that was pretty good.

Speaker 2 (34:38):
Pretty good, Clemens? What uh? And I asked these guys,
what was the first thing you did when you landed
here in the United States. Well, obviously you flew to Cincinnati,
right from New York to Cincinnati. But when and then
you got in at three in the morning or something
like that, you came to Mulliver. What was one of
the first fun things you did besides come to school
was culturally? What are some of the fun things you've

(34:59):
done here so far?

Speaker 15 (35:01):
Yeah, we went to Cincinnati. Also a thing that that's
very local here as the chili and we tried.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
To skyline chili. Do you like it? Really, because a
lot of people when they try it, they don't like it.
You're laughing at me over there. Honest.

Speaker 9 (35:20):
It was good, but there was a lot of cheese.

Speaker 2 (35:24):
Cheese was a little bit of chill.

Speaker 3 (35:26):
I will tell you, guys, if we were talking to this,
to Frau Adams, if we would have if you would
have time this in September or October, Cincinnati has a
huge jour october Fest that is supposed to be the
second largest October Fest behind Munich's. So the Cincinnati area

(35:51):
is very German descent. If you guys get downtown in
that over the Rhine and Findly Market areas, uh, you'll
find some pretty good German cuisine down there.

Speaker 2 (36:02):
Not just that, the actual building construction of the architect,
thank you, the architect very german Esque, I mean, very
deep roots of the German heritage right here in Cincinnati.
You're right, the biggest, second biggest next to Munich for
Octoberfest is pretty impressive. Hanness. I'm going to talk to
ask you. Obviously, you're at Molar High School, uh, an

(36:23):
all boys Catholic school. I found out and talking to
some of the other guys that's a little bit different
than what they're used to in Germany. What's been your
impression of Molar High School.

Speaker 14 (36:31):
Yeah, it's very difficult, not difficult, difference to my school
because I'm going to a public school and also to
a mixed school. So but I think it's really good,
like the dress code, tress code. I like dress code
because you don't judge over people with the clothes.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
Do you think guys here at Molar take that for granted,
who don't know, they don't know anything different, They've always
been in a dress code. They don't appreciate that like
you do. Do you agree with that? Yeah? I think so.

Speaker 9 (37:04):
But I think in Germany it must be like like
like it's.

Speaker 2 (37:07):
Here, what about you, clemens? What was your what's been
to your impression of Moeler so far?

Speaker 15 (37:13):
Yeah, it's it's really different because also we don't have
a MP days. We have picks schedule with many subjects,
and I really like it that the students can choose
what subjects they have.

Speaker 2 (37:31):
Your teacher, Linda Zin's Adams told us that in Germany,
and I may say this wrong, you guys have to
kind of decide in fourth grade kind of what path
you want to take, what track you want to take.
When Andy and I heard that, we were like, what,
I have a fourth grade daughter, She's not capable of

(37:52):
making a decision like that. Right now? Is that that's
weird to us?

Speaker 3 (37:56):
Is that your parents?

Speaker 2 (38:00):
What do you think about that? Do you do you?
Do you like that? And for having to choose in
fourth grade or would you like a little bit more
experience in the academic setting before you make that choice
because here in high school the dynamic. What's great about
Molar is kids are given many opportunities and it's unique.
At some most high schools, you don't know what you

(38:20):
want to get into until you get into college, which
is that's not right either because now you're wasting potentially
a lot of money. Here at Molar, there's so many
opportunities business, entrepreneurship or I mean, there's so many different
silos that you can get your hands wet and find
out what you want to do. But in fourth grade
do you really know?

Speaker 1 (38:40):
Now?

Speaker 2 (38:40):
You don't?

Speaker 15 (38:41):
And that's the thing about the system, and yeah, that's
something that should be.

Speaker 3 (38:49):
Now you guys are on track for college for university,
Yeah yeah, correct, Okay, do you know what what you
want to get into?

Speaker 2 (38:58):
Business? Or yeah? Business? Yeah? Yeah.

Speaker 14 (39:02):
I changed my school last year, so I went from
a public normal school to a public business school.

Speaker 9 (39:09):
So right now my focus is on business.

Speaker 15 (39:11):
Okay, how about you, I'm more like a science guy
more something out of Yeah, fantastic.

Speaker 2 (39:19):
How from the academic standpoint, and I'm not saying one
better or the other, how do you feel academically because
you're in the science science spectrum, that's that's your interest level? Right?
What how does what you're learning in Germany at at?
What year are you in Germany? You're a You're okay,
so sophomore, right, so with the sophomores here in science

(39:42):
here at more? Or how do you how do you
think they compare in terms of knowledge base? Like are
you hearing things in the science classes here that you
already knew? Or there's some things like man, these guys
might be just slightly ahead of us, Like how does
that compare?

Speaker 15 (39:55):
Yeah, I can't really compare this because I'm with my
exchange with my students. He's a higher grade, so I
can't really compare this. But what Luka said because he's
in the same class and he's older than me, and
he says that they do the same stuff but a

(40:17):
little bit different.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
Okay, cool, what about you? Yeah, so I've had Hannas
on thatdline, now go ahead.

Speaker 14 (40:23):
Yeah, so I'm not so into science. Business, Yeah, but
bad and science so business. Yeah, I think it's quite
not that different. It's similar.

Speaker 9 (40:34):
So yeah, I think it's a bit the same like
in Germany.

Speaker 2 (40:39):
Very cool. So when you guys go back and somebody says,
in the United States, moll or high school, what's what's
one thing, Hanness that you're going to take back to
Germany with you about the United States. Food could be food,
cultural could be music, it could be education. What are
you gonna take back?

Speaker 9 (40:56):
Definitely food?

Speaker 2 (40:57):
Good or bad?

Speaker 9 (40:58):
Yeah, good food, but unhealthy.

Speaker 3 (41:04):
And we wonder why the Americans are bigger?

Speaker 2 (41:06):
Correct? Correct? Okay?

Speaker 3 (41:09):
So what's what's some of your favorite dishes that you've
had here that are Yeah, so we wentalth.

Speaker 2 (41:15):
We know it's not Skyline.

Speaker 14 (41:17):
We went to different places. So we went to Raising
canes is one of my favorites. And sweet stuff is
Chrispy Creep.

Speaker 2 (41:26):
Okay, So let me ask you something. You're in business.
You like raising canes? You could open up a franchise
raising canes in Frankfurt, Germany. I think about that. That's right,
Have any other I can solve that answer? You already
got your career path right there, Dundee. Yeah, let's see
that'd be great, Clemens. What about you? Yeah?

Speaker 15 (41:45):
Also I would also go with food, and also driving,
driving is a really big thing. Cities are house. Most
of these were four people, and that's also a big different.

Speaker 2 (42:02):
I've never even thought about that.

Speaker 3 (42:04):
And they're driving here is slower than in Germany.

Speaker 15 (42:07):
Yeah, and Germany on the gym Highway, we don't even
have a spree now.

Speaker 2 (42:12):
Trains are big and you're in Germany and that because
I remember, I think, I don't know if I told
you guys, my brother played for the Frankfurt Galaxy and
he was taking trains everywhere. They would take trains to
their football games and Amsterdam or wherever they were going
to trains? Is that more popular transportation than the vehicle?

Speaker 15 (42:29):
You can go everywhere in Germany or in Europe by
train and by public transportation.

Speaker 2 (42:34):
That is awesome.

Speaker 3 (42:35):
Speaking of sports, favorite sports American football or.

Speaker 9 (42:40):
Soccer, football, football, soccer.

Speaker 3 (42:44):
So you guys are.

Speaker 9 (42:44):
Soccer, soccer and tennis.

Speaker 3 (42:46):
Okay, what's what's the big team in soccer that you follow?

Speaker 9 (42:49):
Frankfurt Okay, yeah, all right.

Speaker 2 (42:51):
How many fans do they get to a game?

Speaker 9 (42:53):
It's a game, I guess like sixty thousand that's impressive.

Speaker 2 (42:56):
That's impressive. Guys. I want to thank you for coming
on the Big Mop Podcast sharing your experience. Hopefully you
guys have had a remarkable time. You got you have
to get a Molar flag, all right, take it back
to are you guys live in Frankfurt in the area.
Take it back to Frankfurt. Get a group photo holding
the molar flag. Send it to us for a Big
MO flag plant. What do you think?

Speaker 9 (43:17):
Yeah, we will do this.

Speaker 2 (43:18):
That's awesome. Promote it, amen. That's Hannas and Clemens rounding
out our German connections here on the Big Mo Podcast.
We'll be back with Andy Nagle and I possibly with
the l President Day's daughter Kendall Kneehause talking about her
big power lifting success at Mount Notre Dame and beyond.
Thank you guys for coming on. Appreciate it.

Speaker 9 (43:39):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (43:39):
That's Andy Nagle and our German friends on the Big
MO Podcast, w MOOE and the Molar Broadcasting Network. Thanks squallers.

Speaker 16 (43:49):

Speaker 2 (43:51):
We're going to be here a while. Settle in for
another season. You know everybody this time of year is
excited about on w mo OE, Home of your Molar crusaders.

Speaker 8 (44:13):
Not take a look around.

Speaker 16 (44:15):
This is what they call greatness if you want to
see the enough if you want to.

Speaker 11 (44:34):
See the.

Speaker 2 (44:37):
Welcome back to the Big MO Podcast. And a big
shout out to linds In's Adams and of course the
the German Exchange students that we had on a short
time ago. Very cool to have those guys share what
Moeller's been like for them coming internationally. But now we
have a VIP guest. We we we exit the Germans
and now we bring in the cougars of out Notre

(45:00):
Dame Kendall knee House shadowed by her parents. But this
is all about Kendall today, It's not about your dad.
Kendall first and foremost, welcome to the Big MO Podcast.
Thank you for having me, all right, Kendall, So your
sister doesn't like attention, right, so, but you're okay with it.
I think, hence the reason why you're here. But I

(45:21):
got to ask you before we do anything else, and
before I forget, do I have permission to share the
Hamilton County Fairgrounds you and doing that powerlift? So when
people want to see what we're talking about they can
see it. Is that all right?

Speaker 4 (45:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (45:33):
Yeah, perfect. We have Kendall nee House here a Mollar
cheerleader by day or no powerlifter by day, cheerleader by night.
Tell everybody what you're involved with here at Molar and
then what you do on the side.

Speaker 4 (45:48):
I'm a JB. Muller cheerleader for football and basketball. I
was a captain for basketball this season and that was
a lot of fun. And then I'm a powerlifter.

Speaker 2 (45:59):
How did you get into powerlifting? We'll talk about the
cheerleading thing in a minute, but full disclosure, the powerlifting
thing blows my mind. So how did you get into
I'm guessing because of your dad. It's my guess. How
did you get into it?

Speaker 4 (46:10):
I wanted to be a WW wrestler, and I was like, well,
maybe i'll just start young and I'll start lifting and
then I'll be ahead of the game. And then after
a while I kind of stopped wanting to do that
and just did this for fun.

Speaker 2 (46:21):
What grade? When you say young, what grade did you
want to be?

Speaker 11 (46:24):
Wwwe like fourth maybe?

Speaker 2 (46:28):
And is that because your dad, who sitting back, I
guess we should say this for those that don't know
her dad, Jason Neehouse, the new president of Moler. How
did you get into wrestling?

Speaker 4 (46:36):
My sister she showed me a clip of a WW
women's wrestling match, and I was just in awe and
I thought it was so amazing.

Speaker 2 (46:45):
Have you ever been to a WWE wrestling match?

Speaker 4 (46:47):
Yes, I have been. Do you still love that sometimes?

Speaker 2 (46:50):
Do you still have aspirations of being a wrestler? No?
I do not. So you segued into powerlifting. You started
doing powerlifting? Yeah, and you probably at some point figured
out I'm pretty good at this. Walk me through how that's.

Speaker 4 (47:02):
Happened over time. I just like started with the lightweight,
kind of figured out where I was and then just
went from there. But I only work out once a week,
so I mean, I just gradually, I'm.

Speaker 2 (47:16):
Gonna be honest with you. And I said this to
your day. And when I see you do that, it
scares the hell out of me for your knees, Like
I see your knees, I feel like your knees are
just gonna explode when you're when you when I see
you doing this power lift me. But your dad said,
and then I saw the raps talk about the process
of preparing for the competition. You just recently were at
the Hamilton County fairgrounds correct competing, talk about the preparation

(47:38):
and the work that goes into competing at that level.

Speaker 4 (47:41):
For me only doing once a week, it's like I'll
do lower and upper on the same day, I'll do
some accessories incorporated into that, and then I'll just do
reps for squad or reps revenge. But as far as
with wraps, I only lifted with those in one other
time before the meet, so I wasn't fully prepared when

(48:02):
I jumped into that, but I'd say it did pretty.

Speaker 2 (48:05):
Good for my second I would say, so, there's a
stigma right to cheerleading, and you think cheerleaders and I've
obviously I don't know if you know this. I've been
loved the cheerleaders at Molar, and I work well with
your coaches and what we do for motown and stuff
like that. But there is a stigma, right, there's a
stigma for cheerleaders. You are breaking every Now you're not

(48:26):
just breaking them, you were just piling right through any
stigma of cheerleading. How does how does powerlifting play a
role and help you with on the cheerleading side of things.

Speaker 4 (48:37):
I think definitely having that strength helps with like the
stunts that we do because sometimes we do some crazy
stuff and if you have ever been to one of
our jav basketball games, we're like throwing these baskets or
throwing our flyer lane. You just like all the way
up in the air too, And I mean you need
like the good luck strength too.

Speaker 3 (48:54):
Yeah, to do stunts like that, that's fascinating.

Speaker 2 (48:57):
It is unbelievable. You watch the video. Go to my
Facebook page Instagram. If you're following through Instagram, I'll show
you Kendall's recent power lift at the Hamilton County Fairgrounds. Amazing. Dad.
You even said to me, I don't want to because
I mentioned let's get her on the podcast, and you said,
I don't want to do it just because she's my daughter.
I'm like, no, no, no, she is a Molar cheerleader.

(49:18):
She's part of the Molar family. You just happen to
be the president of the school. How proud are you
as a father of the success only a sophomore. How
proud are you the success she's had? Well, yeah, I'm
incredibly proud of her.

Speaker 17 (49:31):
You know, I find that the day that she's in
the gym with me, it's probably my best day of
the week, you know, because she's pushing me. You have
to work harder in the gym as well too, to
see her in the gym. And it's not so much
just what she's doing, but it's watching her, watching her perseverance,
you know, as she's you know, she's struggling with a

(49:54):
particular left So in this particular meet at the Hamilton
or Butler County Fairgrounds, she missed a two hundred and
fifty pound deadlift and came right back after attempted it again,
you know, and pulled it. And so, uh, you know,
watching her come through that, you know, overcoming that adversity,
having that perseverance is really kind of built her into

(50:16):
the character that she is.

Speaker 2 (50:17):
You know today, pound for pound, kindle, you know where
I'm willing with this? Yeah, pound for pound, who's stronger?
You were? Your dad?

Speaker 10 (50:24):
My dad?

Speaker 2 (50:25):
No, you don't have to you're not contractual. You don't
have to say that, you know that, right, Yeah, I
know that.

Speaker 4 (50:30):
I'd still say it's my dad.

Speaker 2 (50:31):
No, not true. My money's on candle, not true.

Speaker 17 (50:35):
One hundred and thirty nine pounds, uh squat to fifty,
you know, and you know, for myself, I'm what two
to sixty and I'm squatting for twenty five.

Speaker 2 (50:47):
So did you get into this because she was involved
or were you? Did you lift before that? You were
kind of a big guy, I honestly big, not my
big must you know, muscle. I've always I've always lifted.

Speaker 9 (50:59):
That's been an hour led for me and and Kendall.

Speaker 17 (51:01):
While she really got interested in powerlifting, you know, at
about that age because of w w E. And I
know that she's not going to allow me to share this.

Speaker 2 (51:10):
I've got yeah, I've got video.

Speaker 17 (51:13):
I've got video of her probably about the age of
three or four in a princess dress out in the
gym with me, kind of just you know, imitating and
mocking you know, the work that I did. So she's
grown up around weights her entire life and has always
shown an interest and a passion within the weight room.

Speaker 2 (51:29):
If I didn't like mom so much, I would get
her on the air right now, but I know better
not to bring her on, so I'm not going to
ask her questions. However, Kendall, you were a part of
the main event on Saturday, right, beautiful red dress. I
have to ask you, how cool is it not just
to have your dad and the role he's in but
to follow the footsteps of your grandpa and and what

(51:52):
the you know, we always talk about standing on the
shoulders of giants here and your your grandpa obviously was
very instrumental and what we are doing today at Molar
High School. How cool was it to be on that
stage and to be on that stage with your dad
but representing your grandpa and all the family legacy.

Speaker 4 (52:09):
I think it's really special. And that's also most of
the reason why I got into Molar tier. It's just
like another thing that I felt like could bring me
closer to him in a way and be a part
of a school that he cared so much for. And
to be a part of that, and to even see
my dad in this role, like is just really special.

Speaker 2 (52:28):
Now, let's talk about something a little bit uncomfortable. Is
it weird that you potentially might someday have a boyfriend
here at Molar with your dad as the president? That's
gotta be Is that going to be awkward?

Speaker 4 (52:40):
I don't think it's too awkward. No, Like surprisingly, I
don't think it is.

Speaker 2 (52:44):
Let me ask that same question to dad, Will that
be awkward for you to be the president and have
your daughter potentially? Now, let me ask you this. Let's
let me throw you another curveball. Let's say she comes
home and says, Dad, I got a guy. You know
I'm going with this. I have a guy that you know,
I asked me out on a date. But he's not
a man of Mueller. He goes to another school. How

(53:05):
would that go over my dead But he's going to
have to go through me to get to her.

Speaker 17 (53:13):
But you know, Barrett, as far as a man of
Moeller is concerned, you know, to me, I know that
if she were to date, you know, a guy from
the school, it is a man of character, right and
so uh And I also think that my being here
is also a great equalizer because I imagine that any
young man who's gonna have the courage to ask her out,

(53:34):
that is going to be a good man for sure.

Speaker 2 (53:38):
Kenna. One final question, like where do you go from here?
I feel like you've already get You have a resume
that's already that of a senior, right, So where do
you go from here? What do you want to do?
From the powerlifting obviously, molar cheerleading. I see you elevating
in a leadership role there for sure, But what about powerlifting?
Where do you go from here.

Speaker 4 (53:53):
I think I'm going to come back next year. I mean,
there was a lot of I'll be in a different Adriane.
I'll be in the sixteen to seventeen and then with
my weight class. I don't think there's anything set world
record wise, so I think I might just go ahead
and get for world records and we'll just see from there.
I want to work hard and get big numbers.

Speaker 2 (54:10):
And but you're right, like, you're not comparing. Your dam
was telling me that you're taking some time off now
that you just can did your fire? Are you still did?
I misunderstand you're still competing.

Speaker 4 (54:19):
I might pick it back up. Just after that meet,
I was like, I don't think I will.

Speaker 2 (54:23):
I think I'm ready to go somewhere.

Speaker 4 (54:25):
But or my last meet, and then I was just like, wait,
there's like nothing set for this. I mean I might
as well. If there's nothing set, I'm just gonna go
go do it come awesome.

Speaker 2 (54:35):
That's so cool. Now, is there any high school girls
school that has a lifting program?

Speaker 14 (54:39):
No?

Speaker 2 (54:40):
Could you potentially start when I'm mounted or day?

Speaker 4 (54:42):
That's I had thought about that. Honestly, that's cool.

Speaker 2 (54:46):
I love people that just lead. That's awesome. Kendall, thank
you so much, So very cool that that you're just
you're just stepping outside the stigma. I think it's awesome
and doing powerlifting cheerleading. Are there other girls that at
Mountain und Dame that have expressed interest getting in this
as well?

Speaker 4 (55:03):
Not that I've heard of, but I haven't asked too much.

Speaker 2 (55:06):
Trendsetter, I can see you doing it.

Speaker 4 (55:08):
We'll see.

Speaker 2 (55:09):
Yeah, my music's not quing up as I thought it would.
This is the wrong song, little dirt country Road. But
it's not working, so we're gonna go to a break.
This is what happens when you don't have a producer
on site. Kendall, knee House, Jason Eeehouse. Another rendition of
the Big Mo podcast. Kend thanks for joining us. I
appreciate it. Eddie Nagel will be back on here shortly

(55:29):
to wrap it up. It's another great rendition of the
Big Mo podcast on w MOOE and the Moller Broadcasting
Network on your laws set. Get ready to sprint the
glory with your Crusader indoor track team. This season, Zanthleets
are lightning fast, leaping over hurdles and pushing the limits

(55:51):
in every race. With the termination at heart. They break
records and inspire us all join us in celebrating their
pursuit of greatness in every strike, Double m Oe and
the more broadcasting network not going to Big Mo podcast.

(56:16):
And I think I've learned my lesson not to come
back with any German music in your name, but I've uh.
I mean, you type German in YouTube, you think that
you get German music, and that necessarily was not the case.

Speaker 3 (56:27):
But they flayed you. They did off their very respectfully.

Speaker 2 (56:31):
They had confident confidence off the air, no doubt about that.
That's pretty cool. Man. You never know what you expect
when you get guys, you know, from Germany coming on
a Big MO podcast. They're nervous, they've never been on
a podcast before. And uh uh it was. It was
fun learning a little bit of you know, the eye
opening experience just there there through the lens of a

(56:52):
high school kid coming to it. I just you and
I talked. I wish I had that opportunity.

Speaker 3 (56:56):
Yeah, it sounds like and we probably already knew that
that Americans are really spoiled with our food.

Speaker 2 (57:03):
I mean, but you knew that, right, I mean, we
kind of do that. We over indulge. I mean, look
at me, we do.

Speaker 3 (57:09):
But it was it's funny there Hanna said, is his
favorite was it was Krispy.

Speaker 2 (57:13):
Kremes, of all things, of all things, Krispy Kreme.

Speaker 3 (57:17):
It's just that's the sweets, and uh and then what
was and then raising canes. I'm sure he loves the sauce,
probably drinking it right now.

Speaker 2 (57:24):
That's that's pretty good. I could see that guy opening
up a canes in Frankfurt, Germany, probably make a lot
of money doing it. King in Germany, they may have
roles over there. You can't have places like that too much.
Well now they're starting to do that here in the
United States too, So.

Speaker 3 (57:39):
Yeah, that's it's it's awesome. But like you said, I
would I would love to go back and do some
of that, the foreign exchange, and that would just be
a great opportunity just to see the different part of education.

Speaker 2 (57:54):
One hundred percent. And I've said this many times, like
you know, and I keep bringing up going to Israel
in the Holy Land and the pilgrimage that I was on.
It does give you a worldly view, you know. And
I will tell you this. When I went and I
was a Catholic beater Catholic, Catholic, Catholic. It's the only way.
It's a highway of Catholic. Then I go to Jerusalem,

(58:16):
and you know, I was one of those can and
it's not nothing wrong with that, but I really beat
my Catholic Bible before I went over there. Then you
go over there and you realize the birthplace of Christianity, Jerusalem,
and only one percent of people over there are Christian, Catholic,
no Christian. One percent of Jerusalem today is actually one

(58:39):
percent Christian. So now all of a sudden, you're seeing
other Christians that aren't Catholic, and you're given high fives
and fist bump and it gives you a worldly view
of yeah, the Catholic is what we subscribe to. But
now you align yourself with other Christians. You see a
Christian over there, you're giving a fist bump, You're you're
one of us. So it's just that whole worldly view
of things that you know, these kids have an opportunity

(59:01):
coming to the United States or our guys going to
Germany to get that worldview, a different perspective, of a
different lens, and how big of a benefit that is
to have that opportunity and.

Speaker 3 (59:11):
You met, especially the first interview that that I was
off air listening, but the fact that they brought up
the faith, the faith as at Muller High School and
anything you could talk about, whether it's school, lack of girls, girls, food, whatever,
they brought up faith. And I think that's really neat.
And when you talk about universal at you know, Jc's

(59:33):
universal amen is universal. It was also fun to experience
that trip with your wife, which was a lot of fun.

Speaker 2 (59:40):
Yeah, that was sure. She's got some great stories as well.
I regret that. And how about Kendall Kneehouse Powerlifter? Yeah, man,
that's powerlifter by day, cheerleader by night.

Speaker 3 (59:51):
And and the funny thing is, and I don't want
to say this in a weird, weird way, but when
you look at she's beautiful, you think powerlifter, you think
and slice the loan. And if you said to me,
if you put a lineup and said pick the national

(01:00:13):
champion out of this lineup, She's probably not gonna be
on my top.

Speaker 2 (01:00:17):
Of one hundred percent. I'm going to ask her permission
once we get off the air. Here if I can
share the video of her most recent competition, which was
down at the Cincinnati Hamilton County Fairgrounds. And unbelievable. I mean,
you see the weight she's pushing up and she has
And I told Jason, I was worried about her knees,

(01:00:37):
but she's got her knees wrapped. They protect the knees.
You watch this video, mad respect for people that do that,
especially girls like Kendall Kneehouse cheerleader by night, powerlifter in
the day. And it's uh, it's unbelievable. And I will say,
and I said it earlier, Jason did not want us
to interview her because he's the president. I said, Jason,

(01:00:59):
this is a cool story. She's a Mueller cheerleader. We
talked about the legacy piece at the main event. She's
part of the Moller family. It's just kudos to Kendall
and and certainly you know everything she's she's she's the
one in the family that doesn't mind being on camera,
doesn't mind be the other ones in the in the
the House family. Not so much.

Speaker 3 (01:01:18):
At Mackenzie at the at the she was high at
top was she She was up with me in the mezzanine.

Speaker 2 (01:01:23):
And sorry, Mackenzie, afore mentioned your name on the podcast.

Speaker 3 (01:01:26):
Yeah, she watched it from above. She was She's more
of the behind the scenes and I can appreciate that
as well. But one and Jason talks about it when
he talks with her. Kendall's been in that weight room
with him since she's been like four years old.

Speaker 2 (01:01:39):
Well, Jason's not exactly a bean pool. I mean that
guy can push some weight too. Yeah, he's deceptively tall.
He's actually standing next to him there. Damn like he's
at least six too, maybe even pushing six three.

Speaker 3 (01:01:51):
Buddy, everybody's six two sixth straight to.

Speaker 2 (01:01:53):
Me, Andy, you did a great job. But at the
main event, that was a lot of fun. A lot
of the work that goes behind the scenes of that event.
Gavin Gray, who's in studio with us right now, what
he did on his side and the production he keeps
it going.

Speaker 3 (01:02:10):
There's no doubt with the students, with the cameras, it's
all about the students. So there was a lot of
student production. I was screaming in your ear. It was
hard for us to kind of hear and communicate. But
I think we had some fun, some fun times, and
it was a great, great event.

Speaker 2 (01:02:23):
Anytime you get the Muller family together. It's special. Absolutely,
Andy Nagle, thanks so much for jumping on another fantastic
rendition at the Big Mo poecaest. I'd say that in German,
but I know absolutely nothing in German, so I'm not
even gonna pretend. Obviously, I've messed the music up already,
so I'm just gonna slowly see myself through the door
for Andy Nagel, our host of German students here Big

(01:02:46):
Mo and Zen's Adams as well, and executive producer Joe Strecker.
It's Big Mo Berry on the best coverage of Molar
High School. It's w MOOE and the Moller Broadcasting Network.
