Rumsfeld's Rules: Slow Down the Process
"Football a lot here on the podcast. But the greats, so to speak, the bradys, the Aaron Rodgers, going back to Roger Staubach, Fran tarkin and Steve Young, you just name the greats of quarterback. They slow the game down. The other players do this as well. Defensive backs, you know, in baseball, they slow the game down. A hitter can slow the game down to where he sees the ball coming at him as if it's almost twice its size instead of the baseball that it is. And really this is sort of what he's talking about here. First climb so you can get a look, then conserve. Slow it down if you can. Slow down the process, quit looking to always make a quick decision. Snap decisions are not the best all the time. And so sometimes you need to conserve that energy a little bit. Make it, you know, if you hang out and if you don't have to make a decision right now, then climb above it, start looking around, bring in ideas, look at the horizon and then start slowing it down. Slow the world down.

The 'Cancelling' of Laura Osnes and Nathan Johnson
"Would happen? What began this canceling of Laura osnes and Nathan Johnson? Yeah, it kind of happened overnight. I was, as you said, very blessed to have several years of success in New York City. And I do not take that for granted. I loved every second of it. My Broadway dream came true. And I got to live that dream for several years. And I'm really grateful. But all of it kind of flipped overnight. I had agreed to do this was last summer 2021. I had agreed to do a one night concert. A benefit concert as a favor for a friend. And all of a sudden, the venue for the concert, this is on Long Island, was mandating the COVID vaccine. And reached out to me. It's hard to process this or at least it's hard. It's hard for me not to interrupt my guess when they say something like that because I live in New York and the madness, we never have to stop talking about this. The lunacy. I mean, it's just, it's extreme. I've written about different periods in history, and I never dreamt that in the United States. I would bump up against this kind of stuff. And during this COVID stuff, I've never seen such, you know, what do you call it? Stupidity, just like tremendous stupidity, you know, and you just think, this makes no sense. And we all have to kind of comply or we were bullied into complying or we had to push back or whatever. So it's kind of an amazing thing that they're telling you, yeah. If you want to perform here, you got all these accolades, but you need to get that shot. And that's another subject, but you're telling me that this was in the middle of 2021. Yes, this was summer of 2021. This was actually before a lot of the public mandates came about and probably September. You know what I mean? Things started to mandate around then, and to be honest, the theater industry still mandates, equity, the actors equity union, still requires all actors on the stage to be triple X or quadruple vax, even though the audience doesn't have to be. I don't know if you know this, but Fran Drescher just came out. Wonderful wonderful video saying like, you know, I'm vaccinated, but she was disgusted by what we're talking about. This idea that everyone in the industry you want to work, you know, you've worked your whole life to get to this point, but now you need to get this experimental injection. Hey, maybe it'll kill you, but at least you'll have a job

Many of the Deep State Crooks Are Back
"Many of the same deep state crooks that were behind the Russia collusion hoax. That were that came out to certify that the Hunter Biden laptop was, quote, Russian disinformation. I mean, these shameless liars are now back. And what are they about to do? They're back to sign a joint letter, very similar to the letter that they signed in the Hunter Biden case. This time calling for social media to protect censorship. To keep censorship. And not to open itself up to a wider parameter of permissible viewpoints. And they're claiming that this is necessary to guarantee the national security. It's a complete fraud. But let's look at who some of these thugs are. Well, sure enough, James clapper, big surprise. Former Obama CIA director Michael morrell, former Obama CIA Pentagon chief Leon Panetta. But you got a few new names too. Form a bush natural security adviser, Fran Townsend. And these guys come out with their usual, well, they start off with this rather grandiose pronouncement quote, this is a pivotal moment in the modern history. There's a battle brewing between authoritarianism and democracy. Well, first of all, that is actually true. But not in the way they mean. There's a battle brewing between authoritarianism and democracy and they represent authoritarianism. And that's what they're trying to enforce on social media. They are the voices for authoritarianism, but posing as the voices of democracy. So there are the emissaries of the very evil that they describe here. And the pretext for censorship now is Ukraine. You're like, Ukraine. How does a debate over Ukraine threaten our existential our national security? It doesn't. It's obvious it doesn't, but these guys have sort of gotten themselves tied themselves into a knot, in which basically the defense of Ukraine is nothing more than the defense of the west, which is nothing more than the defense of America. Therefore, to be critical of anything happening in the Ukraine is basically to show yourself to be a traitor to show yourself to be a danger to national security. I mean, the leaps of logic, the chains that are woven here are really pretty remarkable.

"Then we're gonna have a whole bunch of people coming in and you know how many epa slots you're gonna be dealing and casting directors. Were kind of throwing their arms up How is that facilitated. Well auditions for example. I know that that is a genuine fear that people are worried about there. Being influx of people wanting to like joining and then wanting to audition and i think that has always been the way it is in our industry there will always be more people wanting the job than there are jobs one of the things that i had deuce come switch the way that i looked at it was that the people who are auditioning have already been here. It's not creating like a bunch of new people. Who are suddenly here to audition against you or to interview against you for sage manager physicians. These artists have always been here and they just haven't been able to by virtue of not being lucky enough to have received an equity contract have access to epa's and sec's or stage manager interviewing positions until open access and it doesn't change how many people there are adjust changes who is and who can access the now and that was one of the things that i admire is to take a hard look at at the black lives matter movement. Many organizations started to be introspective. And think back in now. Are we contributing to perpetuating this and this open access is really going to open up for black Jenness people of color who may not have had the opportunity to become an active member that they now have that door to be opened one hundred percent in addition to buy chalk artists it also opens the door to on the disability community who perhaps didn't have access to the war artists of a certain age who perhaps had a less access it really does level the playing field access. It doesn't unfortunately do anything about the roles that are out there or the number of jobs. That's not something that union could ever really do. But hopefully by giving individuals with these identities access to protections and access to these contracts and to benefits and all the protections in union membership we will actually be able to organize more union contracts will be able to organize in a more progressive fashion and hopefully be on the forefront of much-needed change in our industry. That really gives me hope. Not just for me but for booking something and working with all different types of people. Just thanks for clearing a lot of that up for me. Because i was a little confused about that and i'm just so happy that you're here with the show so so what's next jazz. Where're you going what's happening. I'm in addition to being an actor. I'm a writer director. I am an educator as well and so one of the things that really fills my soul is. I'm i'm actually doing a lot of teaching this fall. Two youngins to two third through fifth graders and introducing all these students in brooklyn to theater. And so that's actually something that. I'm just so excited to be doing this fall. I'm gonna be directing. I show for young people. That's coming up so it's the best generation. Did that thirty and extremely fulfilling paths follow and you learn more from your students just heads up you say you know. Be the third graders or tools graders. It doesn't matter there's no age discrimination their kids have that creative source for oil in that creative source and i'm just so glad that you're going to be part of that and perpetuating that important work that you do with children in here i think is the most To close way think is the most important less than that you learned to share with others. Think it hearkens back to what we first started talking about. Our journeys. Our lives our careers. They're never going to look like what we think they're going to look like. And that's beautiful and it's so much more exciting and you're going to be surprised and it's a wonderful thing that sometimes what we think we want or what we think we we need is not what happens and it opens the door for even more wonderful things.

If i were a position where if i was hired by a producer or show or in either theater or onscreen i don't i would never be able to negotiate the safety for myself that the union was able to negotiate on behalf of all of us. You know we're also tended. Were just so happy to get a job to be on stage and this was before the pandemic began.

When i got my equity card there were like a whole bunch of new plays. That were looking to change that assumption. You know about what was supposed to look like one hundred percent.

It took a long time and it still taking. Its sweet time but it is moving forward and it's beautiful. I think the way that what we used to think of as non traditional types are now being represented in a broader way. There are now stories being told about what used to be. Non traditional stories are now becoming our mainstream stories and that opens doors to performers. It opens doors to creatives on all different. Facets and. That's so exciting. And i think that in response to all that and also i think in a way to lead the charge on that the union being able to open its ability for people to join and its membership is a big part of that so much of the that we as actors and stage managers get..

"Welcome everyone to another episode of it visionaries and today. We have the ceo of four. Doc fran rush on the show. Fran welcome to the show albert. Thanks so much happy to be here all right right out the gate. What exactly is ford truck. It's got a very strong sounding name. Tell us what for drug does so before. Drug is a digital identity platform though for enterprise and large enterprise. So what the heck is that. Yeah yeah we enable our customers to really create really friction lists and easy identity experiences so that as an employeers a consumer. It's really easy to register. Set up a new account be recognized when he come back and get access to what you wanna do and then move on ossets really that whole process of setting up in your identity to get access to services online so this is a this is a space. That is very hot right now. We know that there are competitors that we've had them on the show so i don't or maybe they're not competitors so for for our audience. I'd love to hear a little bit of what's the difference. What's unique about four rock to give you an example we've had we've had guests from octa from off zero different companies here but i know that typically in software a lot of times people say the same things but they don't actually do the same things curious. What's unique about for drug. You'll let me just before jim. Braude into four doc. I want to take a step back. He said the market's really hot. And i want to kind of explain why yeah. The market is really hot. Right now. And i think some of this ties to the digital transformation that companies have been going through over the past fifteen twenty years where instead of doing business in person or over the phone you know. We're doing everything digitally as employees. Everything we do now online especially in this post covid world where every workers are remote workers

"A lot of movement on the coaching carousel. Over the past couple of days the big. One of course was indiana firing archie miller. After four seasons. We talked about that on a previous podcast. So go find it. We're not going to spend any time on that here but let me walk you through the other notable developments richard patino out at minnesota and as up tuesday morning. He's the new coach at new mexico. State has quote parted ways with steve. Prohm depaul finally took. Dave laid off the hot seat list. Boston college hired earl. Grant penn state hired mike castrucci berry dead leg spin a pretty good right now. It's spinning man. Yeah listen we give the. We are gearing up for this tournament. We got we got more than forty eight hours till. We're gonna tip the first game here so as expected. We've had some movement on the carousel. So we'll let's get into a little bit of this This scuttle but here kind of take it job by job. Best job openings indiana. Let's kind of go in order. I guess second best job. That's open. I would say iowa state is a better job than minnesota steve. Prohm gets fired late monday night. His jamie pollard was on the selection committee so he traveled back as he should have to meet with promo person and do what he what needed to be done You and i both seven the podcast in january. We expected steve prone to return next season. But we also didn't expect iowa state to never win a game like he just got to an irreversible point. so he's done. He put out a classy statement on tuesday morning. And i don't know whether or not steve prohm will land somewhere else head. Coaching position this coaching cycle but he will be a head coach again. He did take iowa state to three inch tournaments he was really good prior to that at murray state and certainly qualified for. It's just a matter of Is there anything out there. That he would be offered or anything out there that he would want as for the job. The candidates we're early. But i'm told that this is certainly a coach that you know quite well as well i'm told jamie pollard definitely will be considering. Unlv head coach. Tj burger near the top of his list. I can't say that he is the favorite. I just think that it's objectively true. That tj also burger will be under consideration for the iowa state job along the likes of. You're going to hear puerto moser connected to multiple jobs on this podcast because let's face it especially if he wins at least one tournament game. He's just a hot name. And he's going to be attached to iowa st paul minnesota. I i don't know if you'd be a favorite for state. But i think his name makes sense. I think utah. State's craig smith might make sense and then a high. I do have a wildcard one. Uab's andy kennedy has gone to the sec. Good job at ole miss. He's just one year and at uab but he had he had a really good year. In fact i think he won more games in his first season. This past season than just about anyone. Maybe all of all of the first year coach coaches. So i think that's a fact no first year coach at a new program. One more games this season than ak i. It's just i'm lobbying out. There is a name that should be considered. And then i did see fran for shila tweet this and i do. I do think there's something to it. Like a baylor is a one seed could be in the final four. Hey first time since bill henderson all that good stuff tang is a is a high level power conference assistant that is deserving of an opportunity would come at a power conference level. I don't know. But i think it's only a matter of time before jerome tank. Its job as well. So i'm just tossing him in knows the league as potentially someone that They should consider or at least at the very least interview sets an initial pool of

"Project for world. Peace and how how that started and i would say i wouldn't call it a political agenda. I would call his social agenda politics to me has to do with republicans and democrats in the left and the right and blah blah blah blah. All these labels that we wanted to apply to people. That don't agree with us. I want to focus on what we do agree about. We can agree. I think war is a bad thing. War is not something we want to see happen. I think generally we can all agree with that. And i wanna build off of that consensus and talk about what we can do about this particular social issue so now i had written a couple of songs that were you would in the old days. Call it a protest song antiwar and that brought me through the wonders of the internet in connection with a music producer on the east coast who was writing similar stuff but wanted to really get that message out. It wasn't just write a song and there it is. It's how could we actually make a difference. How can we influence the people that make decisions about going to war to show them the consequences of what that means how it impacts real people and there are other ways. There are alternatives to going to war. And so we decided after looking at a couple of songs we decided you know we want to give voice to musicians and writers that have the same message and have the same goal and we created this indie label music for world. Peace records to do that. And so now as of sunday we have released our thirteenth single on about seven different artists. We've got artists here in the us. In australia in south africa in the netherlands we got more people in other countries. That were developing songs for production. Now and what we're looking for and what we're producing. The same are songs that oppose war promote peace in love and try to show the decision makers world the impact of going to war and the fact that peace and love are the alternate has long are all about yes and have you had any success with reaching those people and making a difference. Not yet not yet. But we're we're identifying more and more international peace organizations that were hoping to partner just to have them help distribute our music. And we're not doing this for any profit at all. There's a little bit of profit becomes from people that listen to the songs on streaming services like spotify but that's so ministerial. That's really not what the motivation is. The motivation is. Let's get the music out there. So people are thinking about this and hearing about this. And as i say there's some peace organizations that we're talking about how we may be able to partner there are some other non-governmental organizations as they call them ngos that we're talking to with the same idea to get the word out and that's exactly my mission as well to show how the arts can heal. How arts can give voice to our your world. Not just what's going on now. But all over the world people struggle with this and i think we can all agree you talk to that agree that it is through music that we can tap into the hearts and souls of people and we may not see a palpable change in what we're doing but i just feel like you i'm not making money from this but Some way somehow. I did a brain trauma project and someone who listened to the podcast. Didn't realize that she was abused sexually abused when she was three two or three years old and it came out with seizures and epilepsy. You know and it's like oh my god. I never thought. I could see this going back to what you were saying. You know how many more how many more people students kids are going to be shot and we just kind of raise the awareness and that's that's all we can do. Mike thank you so much for taking time out and we're gonna talk about boats after this show because we both have boats that we live above the water. So we'll talk about that too.

"Route to have. I don't know that. I could totally agree that i'm not jaded. Enjoy irony and i enjoy seeing the irony in certain stances employees out the irony even sometimes when it's painful because sometimes it can be. This is a pretty good example. I think there are a lot of people who would like to see responsibility. Placed for what happened to cap and they'd like to see trump held to account for the things that he did that contributed today and there is some irony in the way. Our system works that that may not adapt and isn't that iran in his net. Sad but there it is and this is a good example of how i would try to write about something like this because we're either choose to do a song on this topic. I would not do the song strictly about the events that happened at the capitol. And what trump said didn't say i try to get to the deeper underlying emotion and motivation. And see if. I could broaden that out into a discussion of those aspects rather than just the historical aspects. That's so true. Because when i listened to your songs i was drawn to two of them. I'd like you to talk a little bit about them. You can talk about any song that you want. But what i'm interested in is exactly what you just said taking what is happening in the moment and translate that into a musical version to either teach or just express. You know where you're coming from. The two sons that i liked was lay my troubles down and the grass is always greener. Lay my troubles. Down is really in a way a gospel song. It isn't it isn't it's a blues song and it's a gospel song and i mentioned growing up. I never did anything musically and there was a certain irony. Because i come from a very musical family particularly on my mother's side where i have anson uncles that are involved in nationally. Recognized asshole groups. They saying they perform one of them. Swire parsons by can do a shout out for 'em is a well respected extremely well known docile entertainer in wrote a couple of standards. That are out there in that genre of music so again. It was an irony that was happening. All around me. And i did do any of that so when i started writing. That's one of the genres of music. That i was drawn to because i'd been exposed to it so much. I knew some of the conventions. I knew some of the structures and those are some of the songs i i started writing. Lay my troubles. Down is all about someone who recognizes that. They have caused pain in life. Not just themselves that actually to other people and bearing the burden of that and hoping and wishing asking for the day that i can finally lay that low down that i've carried that low long enough carried it my entire life and interestingly. It's funny how you can write something and i'm not just talking about myself i've about anybody. It's funny how you can write something and you may have a particular. Id and message that you could stay. And then people will read that and come up with different interpretations that you didn't really consider but it really resonate in both directions. This particular song a month ago. I was asked to perform it at a candlelight vigil protesting against the federal death penalty and i had never really thought about how does relate to that. And i asked the organized. The vited me and she said well you know. I listened to it and i hear someone that has committed a crime and accepts responsibility for it and is willing to pay the price for it but is this the price that's really appropriate and yeah. I hadn't considered that. But i hear that now in that song thinly when i talked to playwrights you know and i'll say like my god when that character said that just opened up all these new and they're like i had no idea they have no idea of the power of their words and i think that that's kind of what you were talking about. I agree with you. And i see that when i never done anything on the stage but i attend plays i read plays. I see that too where you'll see a play. That has a story that is telling. But there's so much more depth to what's being conveyed by not just the writing of the play but the way the actors then portray it to us it gets again those underlying truths in those underlying emotions that resonate between us as people and across time and similarly when i work with a playwright as an actor and the cast. I bring out things as a performer. That the playwright you know never considered before. How do you as a musician. 'cause you're working with yourself you know. You don't have that collaboration of the playwright and the director and dramaturge the all of the all of that. It's a collaboration. What's your process. I guess you know. How do you get that idea like if you were to write a song about what has happened. You know about seeking truth and wanted to translate that into your art form. How how do you go about doing that. It's a multilayered ran. This is how. I think. I many ways i think about how artists work and you know what makes them tick. And you said you said mike that you look for the ironing. And and what's ironic. Oh god can we go on. Finish this sentence. Let me say this because there is a lot of collaboration in music in certain circumstances. Said i'll talk about that in a minute because it's a fascinating part of the process. But when i i sit down to choose the topic to write a song. And i do quite a bit of writing of what is called topical music or what used to be called protest music. And so i'll see a headline or i'll read about a historic event or something that's happening current events and it'll just me to thinking about. I listened for phrase that i can turn into a musical hook or a musical title. Something to be the core that i'm going to tell this story around. This is not a song that you mentioned. But i'll talk about this because this song. It fascinates people that. I wrote it and angers people that i wrote it and it's a song called more now. I was law enforcement officer for almost thirty years. And i carried a gun every day and i saw the effects of violence against people individual people i worked ally grew up in detroit and i worked a lot in detroit and then i worked out on the west coast. Those are pretty violent places for some people. I saw it and so as a thirty year law enforcement officer. It fascinates people that i am opponents of gun control and it angers people especially here in the south when they find out. What do you mean you're used to be a cop. You want gun control. That doesn't make any sense. Yeah it.

"And what i did was to express what i did. I'm like okay. Let's say. I have to go to class tomorrow. What am i going teach. Yes and i created a five week play writing lesson and it incorporated all of my previous chapters. So i have the culminating chapter in my book and it was just so exciting. I believe that our is is a means to raise awareness to heal our nation to have people stand in the shoes of somebody else and feel that we have such hatred and violence. That's going on around us and hopefully that will change it. Will it will change. We have it's gonna take. I'm now does any of of this political activism or the the climate the environment any of that influence would not i will say not really irate about relationships and i write about the ability of love to heal and for me it's escapist. I provide people with vacation. I do. I give them a chance to escape for a few hours to Live vicariously through somebody else to feel things to capture the emotion. If somebody says to me i cried. I cried when this happened. In this book. I cried when something happened with kate. In until you and it was the same as something i experienced so i give them an escape. A friend of mine did a poll on informal. Paul said should we put the pandemic in our books and something like seven hundred of her readers who replied out of eight hundred and it's because they said i read to escape. I read romance to escape and we call the genre the literature of hope because we like to see that it's not just about that happily ever after it's about giving a hopeful optimistic view of how things can go. It doesn't mean everything's always perfect but it means that you know that idea that love always wins in all. Its if you have that in your life you will find a way. And so he shouldn't shut out if you have the opportunity when you were talking about writers blah as thinking about it and somebody said to me how do you get through it and i go honestly i just kinda let everything cook. Just because not writing doesn't mean i'm not writing you know just because you're not physically putting words de doesn't mean that it's not stirring up your head instead. It's it's like you're articulating my husband. Don't me was cleaning the closet out in all kinds of stuff and he goes. Oh you know you're not you really have to ride this next chapter. But it's sarah -peutic yes envious things going on in the head and you put that pen to paper you know like for me. It was after the probably the most disastrous day in the history of the united states. And here i am realizing. Oh my god i can use this as a way to show all of the play writing exercises and whether it happens or not. I love what you said. That is a literature of hope and love. Always wins and in fact really. It's not escape so much as what your work does is it. Taps into our humanity taps into our hearts. It taps into reminding us that love does always win and we need that love more now than ever a kind of hear that song what the world needs now is love sweet.

"You know so it was a great trope that it wasn't the big secret for long. But you know i love a good secret baby trump and she wrote me because she said you had your your main character. She said breastfeeding nursing her baby. And i was like yes she said. You just made it so normal. She said and so often. We don't see normalized. And i didn't think anything of it. I just figured well harbors gonna theater baby. It's just what stunning it turns out. I wasn't able to nurse when i was when i had children but i knew that for whatever reason this was the right thing to do and i didn't realize i was speaking to it. I got that letter. I got another. I got so many letters. Women who thanked me for saying you just normalized. it was just. This is the way it is. He accepted it. This is what she did and it was no question. So i guess deep down my my beliefs and my what. I believe in what i see as my view of the world. I guess it does come through. We live in a beautiful place and it's not just about our exits on the ally ian. It's not just about traffic in high taxes. I think we have so much more here. And that's what i've been trying to put out there and people are constantly now going. I'm gonna come see where you live. I wanna visit this place so yeah. We are a product of our upbringing. And you mentioned to may and we share this quality. I was extremely shy growing up. And i was brought up children to be seen and not heard so. It took me a while to rebel against that upbringing. And like you mentioned surround myself with a tribe of people who valued my voice valued. What i what i had to say. How was your upbringing impacted. Who you are today. How you bring that to your family to your children into job as a librarian. I always wanted to be a teacher. My mother was a teacher. My mother was tough though but my mother was a product of her environment. They used to call my grandmother. The duchess of ridgewood from she was from queens edge. They were one of those families. That still did very well. During the depression they had beautiful house in everything they wanted. So there was a a almost a patrician quality. There and my mother was a bit of a snob but she was very did teach barron and she said that example. My father however came from a very very very big italian family and honestly they were the ones who those were the people they affected me. I mean i love my cousins on my mom's side a wonderful i've or cousins. All women were all around the same age in there. Just these amazing women. And i do wear them. My father's italian family that was local. They were like a block away in his his all close in the end he was the youngest of thirteen kids in is forty one cousins just on that side of the family in so it was. It was just a a real amalgam. My one aunt would bake all the time. So all of that kinda got rolled into some of my stories that feeling of community and i not only had the fact that my father was a music teacher in town. He was a guitar teacher. And everybody knew who was everybody. And they were all in my house on west growed and that was it. So i couldn't go anywhere without something. I never got in trouble. Because everybody knew who i was i was. I was one of ten but i could not get away with anything..

Use Books (And The Internet) As A Door, Not A Mirror
"Well i just finished a number. Netflix series lockdown is certainly helped me. Take care of my to do list on netflix. If nothing else and this time it was the series. Pretend it's a city which is a short interview series. Between martin scorsese director. And fran liebowitz the american author and humorist and fran is a lover of books and in this series. She talks about her love of book several times but one of the lines that really grabbed me was way. She said that a book should really be a door into a new world. And that's the beauty of reading books particularly when you're young it's a chance for you to escape the world. You're in a chance for you to go into another fantasy world or at least to learn about another different world. And i guess the inference in a lot of what she was saying was that. That's what's missing today because we're not reading books like we should or as like we used to and i think it's an interesting comparison to the internet because these days in the internet. We're all stuck into this world of social media which oftentimes thanks to the algorithms of course is really a mirror. It's a reflection of what we are interested in what we like and what we do. It doesn't necessarily show us new things over time. And that's the serendipity that fran talks about in this series as well of walking into a bookstore and just discovering a book opening it up using that as the door into this new world. Learning something that you did not know so. I think the comparison really is apt in today's world. And i think we should be using books as we should the internet and social media and everything else that lives on the internet as a door not just as a mirror that reflects who we are and what we are and it's something you may recall. He's got a very good memory. I spoke about way back in episode fifty to this show where i spoke about the need for businesses in general to look out the window. Not look in the mirror with her that we should reflect. We should take a good look at ourselves in the mirror but that is only gonna show what we already know will show us the image of what we already have but if you look out the window and have a look at what's going on around you you can actually learn a lot more. And it's basically the same point as frame was saying in this series. It's on netflix. Check it out. Pretend it's the city pretty funny actually or

"Can you do rent a futa for one night tape that show and then had the rights to show it over a certain period of with unions and blah blah blah. Obviously there's legal issues but that's something and then could you charge a small fee. Okay with people. People might pay not something ridiculous. Like two hundred and fifty dollars on broadway. That might be a model to move things spoiled and keep theaters alive. Because you'd have to pay them a little rent. I don't know i'm just thinking aloud now but you know what gary you're you are so because i just got a voicemail message on yesterday from the roundabout theater a huge fan of their work of their season and they are reinventing themselves they are starting a whole new subscription plan to to invite past audiences but also to include them in the process. We're going to try this out. This is what we're gonna do. Let's try it down. Yeah that's that's what you do as director. Which is that what i was seeing like. Oh my god that's exactly what you were talking back. Yeah yeah. It's interesting because indy theater. Which is the arena. That i plan that. I create and make theater and an indie theater is very different than commercial theatre. It's different in the sense we have. Our budgets are different and our funding is different and is less. Gatekeepers is less elitism to indie theater. So indie theaters been doing this all along certainly with zoom. But it's been available the downtown theater scene. It's been available because this the seats or less expensive or materials aren't as expensive though we do make some really incredible work but i think that the commercials theater can really learn from places like theater for a new city which is weird. Cookie was supposed to go up on much. Twenty six twenty twenty and it's going to go up in two thousand and twenty one. We think in the fall it depends on the vaccine and what's happening but the model. There is making the work accessible message theater for a new city. Does they make the work accessible for everybody. Wants to come to see it. Regardless of what your pocketbook your bank account is and what's really beautiful about. Indie theater is at a lot of the artist that start out there. Like like sam. Sheppard started out in indy theater. Actually la ellen. Stewart's la mama. That's where seeing shepherds started at. That's where a lot of the amazing artists that are now in the commercial theater so they're learning from us the commercials theater. They're learning. How can we do this with without all the frou frou cookies. Not just a black box show. It has a set. It has real specific designs to satisfy mark mackanty. Janet moore is doing the costumes. Who's kramer's doing the lighting. I mean we have really designed elements going on. He also have cast some amazing actor. Oh my goodness the actors phenomenon. I'm jim peralta was are casting director. So we use all the elements that commercial theatre uses. But we do it in such a way where. It's not huge overwhelming. It's very down to earth. It's keeps it in your living role in also to speak so to speak and literally. No eve off mueller. Okay how you can do that. You have to get dressed up. You have to wear pajamas after this. It's going to be like the roaring twenties after the depressed to wear glitz and glamour. Why ritzier ritzy pantsuit going on here. That's going on in the present. We can't ignore the fact what happened on january. Sex nowy kip and how.

"The babysitter people who can't because there are other able can come to the theater because transportation or whatever can see it. I had people coming from all over the world. Seeing these shows it was phenomenal and artist to working cross culturally. I think it's a really good thing. You're so right. I mean just the last time we worked together. Joan with Julius julia pascal's fly. Nobody's perfect everybody's wanting everybody was from london and we had a workout or dishes because there was a six hour difference. But i have to tell you. I was so thrilled to be part of that production. It just like you said this would have never happened for me as an actor. I am getting feedback. After i do a shell from somebody from south africa contacted me. Yeah and it's like. Oh my gosh. This is a whole different venue and to your point. I'm gonna put this to both of you. I just wanna now the playtex place after the pandemic and it's looking at the possibilities after this what's going to be the new. What's going to be the new normal for directors for theatres for playwright. Roy jones says people are starved for entertainment. So but the question is gonna be safety protocols. The question is going to be a everyone. Not the audience the actors everyone is going to be financial constraints or other people outside. Shopping to reinvest in broadway again. Okay but again as jones set. And i'm i have this similar perspective. I like the equalizer of zoom and i liked it. It's anti elitist at everyone. You know broadway production or off broadway all the same on zoom and there's a beauty to it and i think you get even closer to the heart and soul of theater and you see what it's really about. It's really about that. As jones says the intimacy of the actors and the story. And i think. I don't think it's going to go away. I think perhaps even streaming might surface as a bridge before we get back to live theater. Get folks would you wanna talk about like theater. Company like Ego joan bruce kramer..
Chad Ford's NBA Big Board
2021 NBA Draft Prospects to Watch: Cade Cunningham
"You've been a lot of your assignment is covering the big twelve So you get that one really up close and i know this year especially it's been a little bit different from you because a lot of those broadcast have to happen from home but you also have gotten on the road and been able to see some guys as well and because you're in the big twelve it means that you've got a very up close. Look at the guy that i think if i'm not sure it's a consensus but it's close to a consensus that he's the number one guy or at least the favourite to be the number one pick in this draft cade cunningham. Tell me your impressions. Early on from cade. Well what. I do every season. Especially because i cover the big twelve so indep elite get around in a preseason. Watch practice chad. I was a little more difficult this year. Honestly because it cova. But i did get up to oklahoma state early spy watch them practice. And and we've also done three cake cunningham games now one in person and so i think i do have a good feel for me. First of all. He's he's a you wouldn't see a unique quiry actually fits the nba more than he does college. Because you don't know when you look at a kids. He's listed at six eight. I would say he's probably six seven to two thousand five great build great size greyfield for the game. I actually think he's going to be as we've said this before about kids it'll be a better. Nba player in many ways. Because the floor is going to be spaced. And he'll be around. I great talent on like at oklahoma state right now where he's the focal point of every single defense and trying to keep him out of the lane. It's to the point where the other night against kansas when they played great oklahoma state. Bill self rarely goes to his own and even more rarely goes to a triangle in two and k gave them so many fits in the first half. Get sixteen at the half bill. Self is both defenses in again so what is right. Now is a playmaking linebacker okay. He's a he's a he's a mansion. I'll obviously that's gonna fit well in the week because of his size. He is a great teammate. To the point really. I had said a number of times this year. He's almost too unselfish. Because when you're that talented on a team that's not that talented. He almost should take over more. But great passer With great vision an innate feel for getting teammates the ball at the right time at the right place. nba teams are going to love this guy. Now that regard his shooting is is certainly not bad at all. The shots not broken. In fact. I think he's gonna end up being a really good shooter in the league. If there's a complaint about him right now. And i heard you john menaced. He's not really an explosive athlete. We think of nba you know high level nba athletes. I almost compare him to the offensive. Version of marcus. Smart in other words. Would marcus brings to a team. Defensively cade brings to the team offensively. He's going to do a lot of things to help you win. I don't know if i would automatically say he's one pickle right now because there's a couple of guys at the top of the draft that i like as much but i think the consensus is correct. If you had a gun to your head today and you're team with the number one pick. He would be very safe. Fit for the reasons. I mentioned one
