your hosts Andy Nagle and Big Mo Barrett.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
It's a beautiful Wednesday morning on the campus of Big
Mo High at top the WMOE studios here at Bowler
High School. Andy Nagle, how you doing.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
I'm good. You could say that high Top we are,
we are.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
We are high at top the w MOE Monster, that
is the Molar Broadcasting Network and it's a it's beautiful outside,
an absolutely beautiful day. It's always a busy day here
in the campus of Big Mo. Today, especially Andy, we
have Jen Davis, the CEO of Procter and Gamble's Global
Healthcare division, down in the atrium speaking on her path
(00:53):
from liberal arts to the global business leadership, focusing on
non linear and non traditional pass It's just the opportunities
these guys have inside this building is amazing every single day,
and just another one to have a CEO of p
andng's Global Healthcare division coming and talk to these guys.
(01:13):
I mean, oh, it's just kudos to Aaron brandy Berry
for putting that on giving these guys just another opportunity
to learn about that path, because I talk about this
even with my own kids. What I love about more
is you have no reason to get to college and
decide I'm not or discern is this really what I
(01:36):
want to do? Like, you have so many opportunities in
the school here to get your hands wet, to try
different things and maybe try something and say I didn't
like it, and now you know when you get to college,
that's not what I want to do, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
It's amazing, you know, walking up to the studio that
the hub was packed. I tried to get an answer
to see if Jen can help me with maybe some
row gain products from or something like that, but they
deflected my question. But you know, I when the lumps
come back and they tour the facilities, one of my
messages to them as a fourteen year old kid, I mean,
(02:13):
obviously you don't know what you're going to some people,
most people don't know what they I'm still trying to
figure out what I want to do with my life,
and uh, but there's opportunities. There's there's now you know,
design and build AI three D printing broadcast studio. I
mean this, this world here opens up just a ton
You can be behind the camera, in front of the camera.
(02:34):
You could be a.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Producer, creative script writing everything.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Man and now kids walk in instead of just having
seven straight bells of religion and math and history and
chemistry and science. Now it's like, oh, yeah, you know
what that interests me? I could see myself doing that
or I want to dig into a little bit more.
And we've watched it with these guest speakers. Sometimes as
(02:58):
speakers can't get to their subject matter because the students
are just peppering them on their bio. Did you get
how did you get from point A to point B?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
What did you do?
Speaker 3 (03:08):
How did you make this money? How did you do this?
And it's just awesome to see our students interact with
with these global leaders.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Very very cool. And it's every day everything. I mean,
it's like every day there's another different opportunity, you know,
I I yeah, it's just it's it's inspiring it you.
I saw a tar grew you put out in the
marketing team a couple of years ago, a thing about
our house system and they I think the quote is
something like the days of the factory process inside of
(03:38):
school or something like. Schools used to be a factor.
You know, you you come in, you take your reading,
writing worth, but take okay, freshman, now you go to s.
It's different. It's different now, specifically here at Molar and
how they do it here is spectacular, absolutely spectacular. Speaking
of which, yes we talk about and not just at Molar,
(03:59):
but at every high school that I've been, ifinitely been
at two but the two high school. But the people
I talk to at conferences, they always talk about athletics
being the front porch of the school. And frankly right,
wrong or indifferent it is. It's got the most eyes
on it from a marketing standpoint. But Lee Corso not
(04:19):
so fast, my friend. Some of the most talented people
inside this building are in fine arts. And today we
are going to open up the doors a little bit,
open up the windows, pull back the curtains. How about that,
how about that? Thank you very much of a platform
here at Mueller, the improv and what Jeffrey Gerard is doing.
(04:41):
They got a big event coming up and we're going
to bring look at that, look at look at Jeffrey
Gerard and the Montgomery and green room, green room, putting
down the ribs like he's going like he's going to prison.
Look look at him and he's got that sauce all
over his face. And the Montgomery and Green Room here
we're going to talk to Free Girard and the men
(05:02):

Bo King Ding Dang.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
What do we have for Johnny. Welcome back to the
Big Mo Podcast, and we're gonna pause talking about other
things outside of Molar and come inside talk a little improv,
Andy Nagel, and I'm a big fan of improv. I
think I would enjoy it.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
We have.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
We're bringing up Jeffrey Gerard and a cast of thousands
who were involved in Molar Improv. Here. They were scheduled
to do a show, but as we've talked about on
this show, as many in the Molar family, certainly, as
we honor Dylan this week and these guys that were
friends with Dylan, we thought it was appropriate to postpone
(06:42):
the mystery show until the spring as they lost a
cast member. But these guys have bonded together, and certainly
I gotta believe mister Gerard that what's going to happen
with this improv in large part will be in the
memory of Dylan. It's a night of improv, one night
of improv, some games, some needed joy, and most importantly,
it's community to quot one of Dylan's classmates and close friends.
(07:05):
They said, we believe he'd want us to continue with
a fun show, and I know the hearts will be heavy, certainly,
mister Gerard, But I know these guys are wanting to
do this in the memory of Dylan, and it's going
to be a lot of fun at night. We're going
to celebrate dying and celebrate the talents of our young
men here at Mouller High School. That is our hope.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
Absolutely, thank you.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
That was Yeah.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
We had the first practice after things and it was
sort of like a group vote. I mean, this is
a group of our improv troop is now like forty
plus I mean not millions yet. Maybe we'll get there,
but we have like forty plus people sitting there and
it's like, what are we gonna do, y'all?
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Like, how is the improv here at Mouller?
Speaker 7 (07:43):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (07:43):
Improv We've been doing forever. Hatzi used to put on
an incredible improv show, so, like we did Paul Schaeffer,
who were going to see here in a minute, he
was doing Miss Freshman. So believe me, my first experiences here,
Hatzi always put on cool improv shows where people sit
on tables and stuff. So I ripped him off a
little bit. Last year I did the same thing. We
sort of put up the little cafe tables and we
(08:04):
did more of a competition last year than before because
we brought in the Cincinnati Improv Group to help us
out the pros.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Charli, let me ask Charlie. I'm want to ask you
sophomore right Man and Muller class at twenty twenty eight
with my son Big mo Oliver, I got to ask
you this. Okay, when you talk about improv, what exactly
is improv? People out there that are listening, they may
have heard the word, that heard the term, but what
by definition is improv? Kind of set the table, if
you will, so, At.
Speaker 7 (08:31):
Least to me, improv is just going out with a
group of buddies and like trying to perform funny scenes
and just it's all impromptu, not having any script, trying
to figure out what's funny and what makes people laugh.
And it's very lighthearted, very.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Fun Is it something you've ever done before?
Speaker 7 (08:48):
Yeah, it was in the show last year.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
It was the first time you did it last year. Huh.
How difficult was it for you to step on the
stage because improv's different, Like, if you have a script,
it's easier, well easy for you guys, right, You just
read off exactly what you're supposed to read in a script.
Improv's a little different. You gotta be creative, you gotta
be a little brave.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
You got it.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
What are some of the skill sets you need to
produce an an improv show and execute it.
Speaker 7 (09:12):
In order to like do a really good improv show,
you really just have to be like funny and creative.
But I think the main thing is just practice. I guess,
like with any good sport, you just need a practice.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
So, and what grade school did you do? I went
to Saint Mike's No improv? Note? Did you you drama
theater at Saint Mike's Nothing? So you came into this
fresh with no This is what I love about Mohler, Like,
you don't have to be a football player. Well, for
my kid's not gonna make the base, It doesn't matter,
Like there's so many opportunities to get involved. You are
a shining example of a guy who did that. I
(09:45):
introduce your man and Molor to your right. All right,
So this is Evan Crab. He is also a sophomore,
and I think he'll take it away. Evan. What about you?
Any improv experience the theater experience up until now? Uh?
Speaker 8 (09:57):
Well, I did improv? Was my first time doing the
last year in the show. But as for theater experience,
I've been doing theater since about third grade every year
since then at my elementary school, Saint Antoninis over on
the West Side.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Yeah. Amen, you got the west Side signal, like you
and I are from the west Side. We got that
West Side, that little symbol day that we use. I
always tell guys that, you know, and mister Gerard, I've
told this almost a nauseum that that with that doing
what I do today in large part was me getting
involved in theater at my high school. I mean, I
was a shy guy. People don't believe that, but it
(10:29):
really just opened my eyes and made me confident doing
what I do now. Have you experienced that same thing
kind of with this improv the skill sets? Hey, you're
developing and doing all of this?
Speaker 8 (10:38):
Oh yeah, definitely. I believe when I was when I
first started doing theater, I was very shy, didn't know
what was going on. But as that first year went on,
I kind of grew more confident and I kind of
started to love it. And every year I've gotten more confident.
I feel like in my skills as an actor and
improv they're getting better and I think I'm really growing
(11:01):
as an actor.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
How important I introduce yourself for the fans out there again?
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Hey, what's going on, guys?
Speaker 3 (11:06):
My name is Ben Miners.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
This is going to be my what is my second
year of more theater, but I've been doing theater on
and off for a while even before that.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Then, give a shout out to the grade school you
went to, Kings Kings, Home of the Knights, Home of
Grant Nurry quarterback. All right, tell me how important it
is to have people attend these things because I performed
in a crowd of you know, a thousand before, and
I performed in front of one person before, and having
people in the audience to perform, to display your talents
(11:40):
really energizes you guys on stage right, talk about the
importance of that.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
I mean, it makes us feel better when we got
a lot of people. It shows that people care. When
it is improv like you say, we're able to drop
more people from the audience to that way. It's not
just the same like two people over and over and
over again. We get to have fun with like different
personalities and is kind of seeing how they will bounce
off us as actors and how we bounce off them.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
As on Yeah for sure. I mean improv is one
thing to deliver a product, right, but then to bounce
things off multiple guys is a whole other level of improv,
which is incredibly talented. Watching you guys, I get chills.
It's so cool how talented you guys are on the stage,
and so keep it up. We're gonna take a break.
When we come back, We're gonna have Paul up here
(12:25):
along with coach Girard, mister Gerard talking a little more

Speaker 9 (13:18):
Hello, Welcome to the party.
Speaker 6 (13:20):
Just two guys and we're having a good time, having
a good time, having a good time.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Just two guys and we're having a good time, having
a good time. We'll burn the rooftop. Party over here,
party over here, not gonna big more podcast talking improv today.
This is cool because it's something different, mister Gerard. I
think it for you because I know this is kind
(13:46):
of your wheelhouse. This is your your your love, your
passion theater getting seeing these guys do what they do
on the stage. But talk My favorite thing talking to
teachers is that that maturation process from the beginning of
a production where these guys come on they I have
no idea what they're going to be doing, and then
you see that final show when they're on stage performing.
(14:07):
How gratifying is that for you to be a part
of that and witness that development throughout a performance.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
I think it's funny.
Speaker 6 (14:15):
For me, I'm more My fuel is I just enjoy
watching these guys have a good time. Yeah, maybe that
sounds stupid, but like the end product is fine and
it's good and it does its job. But like I
honestly I get I get the biggest kickout of and
I get choked up when and I get like, you
know what, I'm doing my job, when when I just
(14:36):
see these guys like messing around with each other and
like having fun and like the uh yeah being high
school kaus.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
I'll give a shout out to Steve Coleman.
Speaker 6 (14:43):
He was he was doing like security for his basically
backstage on the page to stage, and I'm saying, dude,
I need an adult back there.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
Will you please do it?
Speaker 6 (14:51):
And he came out and did it, and about halfway
through he texted me He's like, dude, these guys are incredible,
Like they're having so much fun.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
And it's the same thing. There's like forty kids. It's
back there. There's like eight.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
Girls from different schools or whatever and all these guys
and everyone's like playing cards and getting ready to go
up on stage. But just I don't know, it's just
fun to watch these guys. It's the community. It's the
community thing. And maybe that's the marriness. It's the community
that I love even more than like the final product.
To me, that is the final product.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Paul.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
You are a senior here, Maana Moeller, what's it like
to be involved, to be a leader amongst a lot
of younger guys in this program.
Speaker 9 (15:27):
Yeah, I really enjoy it. Like I've really enjoyed my
time doing Molar Theater and especially Molar Improv. I saw
when I was a freshman and the guys I really
looked up to were like like Nathan Otton, especially for improv.
I kind of saw like how he led Moller and
he was one of the best improvisers I've ever seen,
(15:49):
one of my favorite people to work with. So kind
of doing improv this year, I've tried to live up
to what he did and seeing seniors last year when
like I really started doing theater as a jor like
Nathan ben Gil, seeing how they do it, and it's
it's really kind of surreal to be one of those
senior leaders, and like it's kind of it's kind of
(16:11):
special to like be up there and have Gerard like
trust me to be the host for the mystery show
we were gonna do and are going to do in
the spring.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Are you gonna be like Johnny Carson. You don't even
know Johnny Carson is john you know Johnny Carson Man?
Could you do a little bit of that? Are you
gonna have like a shtick that you kind of come
out to have you. Have you worked on that yet? Oh?
Speaker 5 (16:31):
Yeah we did, Actually, yeah, we worked on Like.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Johnny Carson was like a throwback to one of the goats,
like probably the only legitimate late night I think a
bunch of imposters that came after him. But he was special,
all right. So obviously this past Friday we celebrated the
life of Dylan, and Dylan was a was a key
member of Obviously what you guys are doing on the stage,
(16:54):
the band, the volleyball program. But what I love about
this place is what you guys do. And mister Gerard
talked about this within a community, when somebody falls, you
pick them up. And what you guys are doing to
an honor of Dylan in this production, remembering him and
not shying away from that, but embracing it. And because
(17:15):
I see a lot of people go through hard times,
they kind of push those things off and that's I
think it deserves Andy. You and I have talked about
that on the show before this. More community embraces times
like this, We embrace each other, talk about what it's
been like memorializing Dylan and how emotional that might be
for you guys when you take the stage.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Yeah, so.
Speaker 9 (17:37):
Kind of the way I think we've dealt with it,
and it's been like a really interesting process of I
think doing the improv and like having fun with each
other and connecting through like through humor and stuff like
that has really helped us. Like when Dylan was performing
with us, he would be like this fun, loving guy,
(17:59):
and I think kind of continuing that energy has really
helped us. I remember the first like it wasn't really
a practice, but the first like meeting we had after
Dylan passed away for improv, Like we kept the same
like meeting time and we made this like circle on
the stage and we and we just like shared memories
(18:21):
of him and that was that was really cool, and
like everyone was being silent. George just looked at me.
It was like, Paul, please say.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Something that uncomfortable quietness, Yeah, but it was like it
was beautiful. Yeah, it was natural. It was beautiful. Can't
force stuff like that, right, Grief comes in many different lenses,
and certainly you guys embrace that moment. And I know Dylan,
mister Gerard will certainly be on your guys's mind as
you guys perform on this night. Mister Gerard, give the
fans out there. Some details again the event. Here's my
(18:52):
favorite thing. If it's free, it's for me. Give me three,
that's my nickname. It's a free event. No excuses not
to be there. I can promise the Molar family you
will walk away thinking, wow, these kids are incredible. We
like to say remarkable, and you will see it and
see it for yourself on this special night. Give them
the date and how they can any information they need
(19:14):
to know.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
When I was in theater, yes, my high school, the
after parties were all always the best. I have some
great memories. Those are when the friendships really built. I
remember what do they call it hell week? Do they
still call it hell week in theater? The week before? Ye?
Speaker 5 (20:10):
Technically?
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Yeah, Now you can be a little more peace of it.
Speaker 8 (20:14):

and incorporating his memory and what they're doing on the
on the stage. And how about Jeffrey Gerard. I mean,
that guy is amazing, he really is.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
And you know you talk about the theater. I had
a chance, and I know you you know in that
interview you did it when you were a student, Lasau
and I took a theater class my senior year in college.
It was an elective and I loved it. And I'm
thinking to myself, gosh, why didn't I do this in
high school? It was so cool? But but that is
(23:13):
a not just for the pure entertainment, but that helps
you with if you want to be a CEO, if
you're doing presentations, if you're doing sales man, get involved
in the theater from day one, and it gets you out.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
You know.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Some of the kids talked about that. It gets you
out of that shell. It gets you in an uncomfortable
place and now you have to handle that.
Speaker 7 (23:37):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
And it's just a great life lesson and it's just awesome.
I'm looking forward to that. It's a free night people,
free free this Saturday to twenty fifth.

haven't been to Moworth Theater a, the venue is incredible,
the new Paul E. Flea Performing Arts Center on the
Whitzeil Stage. But they're doing a few good men, and
I'm sure everybody that's listening to this has seen a
few good men. The movie that's gonna be Thursday, December eleventh,
Friday December twelfth, Saturday December thirteenth. The cast has been
(24:15):
announced and talking to Girard, as great as that movie is,
he said, the book is even better. The script is
even better, and they're gonna go with that script now
it'll still have the movie feel. But he said that
there are some lines that were dropped from the film
that are just incredible. So I'm looking forward to seeing
that as well. And the Improv this week.

It's a beautiful Wednesday morning on the campus of Big
Mo High at top the WMOE studios here at Bowler
High School. Andy Nagle, how you doing.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
I'm good. You could say that high Top we are,
we are.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
We are high at top the w MOE Monster, that
is the Molar Broadcasting Network and it's a it's beautiful outside,
an absolutely beautiful day. It's always a busy day here
in the campus of Big Mo. Today, especially Andy, we
have Jen Davis, the CEO of Procter and Gamble's Global
Healthcare division, down in the atrium speaking on her path
(00:53):
from liberal arts to the global business leadership, focusing on
non linear and non traditional pass It's just the opportunities
these guys have inside this building is amazing every single day,
and just another one to have a CEO of p
andng's Global Healthcare division coming and talk to these guys.
(01:13):
I mean, oh, it's just kudos to Aaron brandy Berry
for putting that on giving these guys just another opportunity
to learn about that path, because I talk about this
even with my own kids. What I love about more
is you have no reason to get to college and
decide I'm not or discern is this really what I
(01:36):
want to do? Like, you have so many opportunities in
the school here to get your hands wet, to try
different things and maybe try something and say I didn't
like it, and now you know when you get to college,
that's not what I want to do, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
It's amazing, you know, walking up to the studio that
the hub was packed. I tried to get an answer
to see if Jen can help me with maybe some
row gain products from or something like that, but they
deflected my question. But you know, I when the lumps
come back and they tour the facilities, one of my
messages to them as a fourteen year old kid, I mean,
(02:13):
obviously you don't know what you're going to some people,
most people don't know what they I'm still trying to
figure out what I want to do with my life,
and uh, but there's opportunities. There's there's now you know,
design and build AI three D printing broadcast studio. I
mean this, this world here opens up just a ton
You can be behind the camera, in front of the camera.
(02:34):
You could be a.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Producer, creative script writing everything.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Man and now kids walk in instead of just having
seven straight bells of religion and math and history and
chemistry and science. Now it's like, oh, yeah, you know
what that interests me? I could see myself doing that
or I want to dig into a little bit more.
And we've watched it with these guest speakers. Sometimes as
(02:58):
speakers can't get to their subject matter because the students
are just peppering them on their bio. Did you get
how did you get from point A to point B?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
What did you do?
Speaker 3 (03:08):
How did you make this money? How did you do this?
And it's just awesome to see our students interact with
with these global leaders.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Very very cool. And it's every day everything. I mean,
it's like every day there's another different opportunity, you know,
I I yeah, it's just it's it's inspiring it you.
I saw a tar grew you put out in the
marketing team a couple of years ago, a thing about
our house system and they I think the quote is
something like the days of the factory process inside of
(03:38):
school or something like. Schools used to be a factor.
You know, you you come in, you take your reading,
writing worth, but take okay, freshman, now you go to s.
It's different. It's different now, specifically here at Molar and
how they do it here is spectacular, absolutely spectacular. Speaking
of which, yes we talk about and not just at Molar,
(03:59):
but at every high school that I've been, ifinitely been
at two but the two high school. But the people
I talk to at conferences, they always talk about athletics
being the front porch of the school. And frankly right,
wrong or indifferent it is. It's got the most eyes
on it from a marketing standpoint. But Lee Corso not
(04:19):
so fast, my friend. Some of the most talented people
inside this building are in fine arts. And today we
are going to open up the doors a little bit,
open up the windows, pull back the curtains. How about that,
how about that? Thank you very much of a platform
here at Mueller, the improv and what Jeffrey Gerard is doing.
(04:41):
They got a big event coming up and we're going
to bring look at that, look at look at Jeffrey
Gerard and the Montgomery and green room, green room, putting
down the ribs like he's going like he's going to prison.

over his face. And the Montgomery and Green Room here
we're going to talk to Free Girard and the men

Bo King Ding Dang.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
What do we have for Johnny. Welcome back to the
Big Mo Podcast, and we're gonna pause talking about other
things outside of Molar and come inside talk a little improv,
Andy Nagel, and I'm a big fan of improv. I
think I would enjoy it.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
We have.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
We're bringing up Jeffrey Gerard and a cast of thousands
who were involved in Molar Improv. Here. They were scheduled
to do a show, but as we've talked about on
this show, as many in the Molar family, certainly, as
we honor Dylan this week and these guys that were
friends with Dylan, we thought it was appropriate to postpone
(06:42):
the mystery show until the spring as they lost a
cast member. But these guys have bonded together, and certainly
I gotta believe mister Gerard that what's going to happen
with this improv in large part will be in the
memory of Dylan. It's a night of improv, one night
of improv, some games, some needed joy, and most importantly,
it's community to quot one of Dylan's classmates and close friends.
(07:05):
They said, we believe he'd want us to continue with
a fun show, and I know the hearts will be heavy, certainly,
mister Gerard, But I know these guys are wanting to
do this in the memory of Dylan, and it's going
to be a lot of fun at night. We're going
to celebrate dying and celebrate the talents of our young
men here at Mouller High School. That is our hope.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
Absolutely, thank you.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
That was Yeah.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
We had the first practice after things and it was
sort of like a group vote. I mean, this is
a group of our improv troop is now like forty
plus I mean not millions yet. Maybe we'll get there,
but we have like forty plus people sitting there and
it's like, what are we gonna do, y'all?
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Like, how is the improv here at Mouller?
Speaker 7 (07:43):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (07:43):
Improv We've been doing forever. Hatzi used to put on
an incredible improv show, so, like we did Paul Schaeffer,
who were going to see here in a minute, he
was doing Miss Freshman. So believe me, my first experiences here,
Hatzi always put on cool improv shows where people sit
on tables and stuff. So I ripped him off a
little bit. Last year I did the same thing. We
sort of put up the little cafe tables and we
(08:04):
did more of a competition last year than before because
we brought in the Cincinnati Improv Group to help us
out the pros.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Charli, let me ask Charlie. I'm want to ask you
sophomore right Man and Muller class at twenty twenty eight
with my son Big mo Oliver, I got to ask
you this. Okay, when you talk about improv, what exactly
is improv? People out there that are listening, they may
have heard the word, that heard the term, but what
by definition is improv? Kind of set the table, if
you will, so, At.
Speaker 7 (08:31):
Least to me, improv is just going out with a
group of buddies and like trying to perform funny scenes
and just it's all impromptu, not having any script, trying
to figure out what's funny and what makes people laugh.
And it's very lighthearted, very.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Fun Is it something you've ever done before?
Speaker 7 (08:48):
Yeah, it was in the show last year.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
It was the first time you did it last year. Huh.
How difficult was it for you to step on the
stage because improv's different, Like, if you have a script,
it's easier, well easy for you guys, right, You just
read off exactly what you're supposed to read in a script.
Improv's a little different. You gotta be creative, you gotta
be a little brave.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
You got it.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
What are some of the skill sets you need to
produce an an improv show and execute it.
Speaker 7 (09:12):
In order to like do a really good improv show,
you really just have to be like funny and creative.
But I think the main thing is just practice. I guess,
like with any good sport, you just need a practice.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
So, and what grade school did you do? I went
to Saint Mike's No improv? Note? Did you you drama
theater at Saint Mike's Nothing? So you came into this
fresh with no This is what I love about Mohler, Like,
you don't have to be a football player. Well, for
my kid's not gonna make the base, It doesn't matter,
Like there's so many opportunities to get involved. You are
a shining example of a guy who did that. I
(09:45):
introduce your man and Molor to your right. All right,
So this is Evan Crab. He is also a sophomore,
and I think he'll take it away. Evan. What about you?
Any improv experience the theater experience up until now? Uh?
Speaker 8 (09:57):
Well, I did improv? Was my first time doing the
last year in the show. But as for theater experience,
I've been doing theater since about third grade every year
since then at my elementary school, Saint Antoninis over on
the West Side.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Yeah. Amen, you got the west Side signal, like you
and I are from the west Side. We got that
West Side, that little symbol day that we use. I
always tell guys that, you know, and mister Gerard, I've
told this almost a nauseum that that with that doing
what I do today in large part was me getting
involved in theater at my high school. I mean, I
was a shy guy. People don't believe that, but it
(10:29):
really just opened my eyes and made me confident doing
what I do now. Have you experienced that same thing
kind of with this improv the skill sets? Hey, you're
developing and doing all of this?
Speaker 8 (10:38):
Oh yeah, definitely. I believe when I was when I
first started doing theater, I was very shy, didn't know
what was going on. But as that first year went on,
I kind of grew more confident and I kind of
started to love it. And every year I've gotten more confident.
I feel like in my skills as an actor and
improv they're getting better and I think I'm really growing
(11:01):
as an actor.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
How important I introduce yourself for the fans out there again?
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Hey, what's going on, guys?
Speaker 3 (11:06):
My name is Ben Miners.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
This is going to be my what is my second
year of more theater, but I've been doing theater on
and off for a while even before that.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Then, give a shout out to the grade school you
went to, Kings Kings, Home of the Knights, Home of
Grant Nurry quarterback. All right, tell me how important it
is to have people attend these things because I performed
in a crowd of you know, a thousand before, and
I performed in front of one person before, and having
people in the audience to perform, to display your talents
(11:40):
really energizes you guys on stage right, talk about the
importance of that.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
I mean, it makes us feel better when we got
a lot of people. It shows that people care. When
it is improv like you say, we're able to drop
more people from the audience to that way. It's not
just the same like two people over and over and
over again. We get to have fun with like different
personalities and is kind of seeing how they will bounce
off us as actors and how we bounce off them.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
As on Yeah for sure. I mean improv is one
thing to deliver a product, right, but then to bounce
things off multiple guys is a whole other level of improv,
which is incredibly talented. Watching you guys, I get chills.
It's so cool how talented you guys are on the stage,
and so keep it up. We're gonna take a break.
When we come back, We're gonna have Paul up here
(12:25):
along with coach Girard, mister Gerard talking a little more
about Mular improv and more. We'll give you more details

Speaker 9 (13:18):
Hello, Welcome to the party.
Speaker 6 (13:20):
Just two guys and we're having a good time, having
a good time, having a good time.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Just two guys and we're having a good time, having
a good time. We'll burn the rooftop. Party over here,
party over here, not gonna big more podcast talking improv today.
This is cool because it's something different, mister Gerard. I
think it for you because I know this is kind
(13:46):
of your wheelhouse. This is your your your love, your
passion theater getting seeing these guys do what they do
on the stage. But talk My favorite thing talking to
teachers is that that maturation process from the beginning of
a production where these guys come on they I have
no idea what they're going to be doing, and then
you see that final show when they're on stage performing.
(14:07):
How gratifying is that for you to be a part
of that and witness that development throughout a performance.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
I think it's funny.
Speaker 6 (14:15):
For me, I'm more My fuel is I just enjoy
watching these guys have a good time. Yeah, maybe that
sounds stupid, but like the end product is fine and
it's good and it does its job. But like I
honestly I get I get the biggest kickout of and
I get choked up when and I get like, you
know what, I'm doing my job, when when I just
(14:36):
see these guys like messing around with each other and
like having fun and like the uh yeah being high
school kaus.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
I'll give a shout out to Steve Coleman.
Speaker 6 (14:43):
He was he was doing like security for his basically
backstage on the page to stage, and I'm saying, dude,
I need an adult back there.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
Will you please do it?
Speaker 6 (14:51):
And he came out and did it, and about halfway
through he texted me He's like, dude, these guys are incredible,
Like they're having so much fun.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
And it's the same thing. There's like forty kids. It's
back there. There's like eight.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
Girls from different schools or whatever and all these guys
and everyone's like playing cards and getting ready to go
up on stage. But just I don't know, it's just
fun to watch these guys. It's the community. It's the
community thing. And maybe that's the marriness. It's the community
that I love even more than like the final product.
To me, that is the final product.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Paul.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
You are a senior here, Maana Moeller, what's it like
to be involved, to be a leader amongst a lot
of younger guys in this program.
Speaker 9 (15:27):
Yeah, I really enjoy it. Like I've really enjoyed my
time doing Molar Theater and especially Molar Improv. I saw
when I was a freshman and the guys I really
looked up to were like like Nathan Otton, especially for improv.
I kind of saw like how he led Moller and
he was one of the best improvisers I've ever seen,
(15:49):
one of my favorite people to work with. So kind
of doing improv this year, I've tried to live up
to what he did and seeing seniors last year when
like I really started doing theater as a jor like
Nathan ben Gil, seeing how they do it, and it's
it's really kind of surreal to be one of those
senior leaders, and like it's kind of it's kind of
(16:11):
special to like be up there and have Gerard like
trust me to be the host for the mystery show
we were gonna do and are going to do in
the spring.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Are you gonna be like Johnny Carson. You don't even
know Johnny Carson is john you know Johnny Carson Man?
Could you do a little bit of that? Are you
gonna have like a shtick that you kind of come
out to have you. Have you worked on that yet? Oh?
Speaker 5 (16:31):
Yeah we did, Actually, yeah, we worked on Like.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Johnny Carson was like a throwback to one of the goats,
like probably the only legitimate late night I think a
bunch of imposters that came after him. But he was special,
all right. So obviously this past Friday we celebrated the
life of Dylan, and Dylan was a was a key
member of Obviously what you guys are doing on the stage,
(16:54):
the band, the volleyball program. But what I love about
this place is what you guys do. And mister Gerard
talked about this within a community, when somebody falls, you
pick them up. And what you guys are doing to
an honor of Dylan in this production, remembering him and
not shying away from that, but embracing it. And because
(17:15):
I see a lot of people go through hard times,
they kind of push those things off and that's I
think it deserves Andy. You and I have talked about
that on the show before this. More community embraces times
like this, We embrace each other, talk about what it's
been like memorializing Dylan and how emotional that might be
for you guys when you take the stage.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Yeah, so.
Speaker 9 (17:37):
Kind of the way I think we've dealt with it,
and it's been like a really interesting process of I
think doing the improv and like having fun with each
other and connecting through like through humor and stuff like
that has really helped us. Like when Dylan was performing
with us, he would be like this fun, loving guy,
(17:59):
and I think kind of continuing that energy has really
helped us. I remember the first like it wasn't really
a practice, but the first like meeting we had after
Dylan passed away for improv, Like we kept the same
like meeting time and we made this like circle on
the stage and we and we just like shared memories
(18:21):
of him and that was that was really cool, and
like everyone was being silent. George just looked at me.
It was like, Paul, please say.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Something that uncomfortable quietness, Yeah, but it was like it
was beautiful. Yeah, it was natural. It was beautiful. Can't
force stuff like that, right, Grief comes in many different lenses,
and certainly you guys embrace that moment. And I know Dylan,
mister Gerard will certainly be on your guys's mind as
you guys perform on this night. Mister Gerard, give the
fans out there. Some details again the event. Here's my
(18:52):
favorite thing. If it's free, it's for me. Give me three,
that's my nickname. It's a free event. No excuses not
to be there. I can promise the Molar family you
will walk away thinking, wow, these kids are incredible. We
like to say remarkable, and you will see it and
see it for yourself on this special night. Give them
the date and how they can any information they need
(19:14):
to know.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
When I was in theater, yes, my high school, the
after parties were all always the best. I have some
great memories. Those are when the friendships really built. I
remember what do they call it hell week? Do they
still call it hell week in theater? The week before? Ye?
Speaker 5 (20:10):
Technically?
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Yeah, Now you can be a little more peace of it.

that guy is amazing, he really is.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
And you know you talk about the theater. I had
a chance, and I know you you know in that
interview you did it when you were a student, Lasau
and I took a theater class my senior year in college.
It was an elective and I loved it. And I'm
thinking to myself, gosh, why didn't I do this in
high school? It was so cool? But but that is
(23:13):
a not just for the pure entertainment, but that helps
you with if you want to be a CEO, if
you're doing presentations, if you're doing sales man, get involved
in the theater from day one, and it gets you out.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
You know.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Some of the kids talked about that. It gets you
out of that shell. It gets you in an uncomfortable
place and now you have to handle that.
Speaker 7 (23:37):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
And it's just a great life lesson and it's just awesome.
I'm looking forward to that. It's a free night people,
free free this Saturday to twenty fifth.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
If it's free, it's for me, give me three, that's right.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
But what I'm really looking forward to. And if you
haven't been to Moworth Theater a, the venue is incredible,
the new Paul E. Flea Performing Arts Center on the
Whitzeil Stage. But they're doing a few good men, and
I'm sure everybody that's listening to this has seen a
few good men. The movie that's gonna be Thursday, December eleventh,
Friday December twelfth, Saturday December thirteenth. The cast has been
(24:15):
announced and talking to Girard, as great as that movie is,
he said, the book is even better. The script is
even better, and they're gonna go with that script now
it'll still have the movie feel. But he said that
there are some lines that were dropped from the film
that are just incredible. So I'm looking forward to seeing
that as well. And the Improv this week.
Speaker 2 (24:36):

quick Thinking, and plenty of Crusader lamps. Don't miss your

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
