1:02

Speaker 2: I say the weekend is started? I don't care if
1:07

1:08
Speaker 2: it anyway. The weekend is underway. Except for Christine Nicholas

1:15
Speaker 2: thing for another hour, and then you can have your
1:18
Speaker 2: apparol sprits and I can have my my Negroni, except
1:22
Speaker 2: I can't because I'm on a diet right now. But
1:24
Speaker 2: as soon as I get off the diet, I'll have
1:25
Speaker 2: a Negroni again.
1:27
Speaker 3: How can a Negroni be fattening?
1:29
Speaker 4: You know?
1:30
Speaker 2: Well, I think it's all about the alcohol and the
1:33
Speaker 2: sugar calcohol. Yeah, I think that's probable.
1:35
Speaker 5: Well, it feels like the weekend started on Wednesday because
1:38
Speaker 5: everybody was looking forward to the Knicks Parade, which took
1:41
Speaker 5: place yesterday, and so everybody was in Knix.
1:45
Speaker 2: Now being the big boss that you are over at
1:47
Speaker 2: the you know, Nicholas Glints pr Legendary PR Company, Did
1:52
Speaker 2: you give your people the day off on Thursday?
1:54
Speaker 5: No, because well they have many of them have off
1:58
Speaker 5: today for juneteen. But for Nick Knick's parade.
2:02
Speaker 3: It is kind of.
2:03
Speaker 5: Interesting because we had we had our intern director of fun,
2:08
Speaker 5: Bennett Wee, assigned to the parade.
2:11
Speaker 2: His father happens to time that a work assignment.
2:15
Speaker 5: Yes, but I realized that by eight o'clock everything was
2:20
Speaker 5: closed down, and his father, working at the law department downtown,
2:23
Speaker 5: went in super early, and he himself had difficulty, even
2:27
Speaker 5: with ID and everything, getting into his building. So by
2:31
Speaker 5: the time Bennett was planning to get there, he wouldn't
2:33
Speaker 5: have made it. So we were able to live vicariously
2:36
Speaker 5: through Peter Weisze and also Bobby, our.
2:39
Speaker 3: Good friend, who got there.
2:40
Speaker 5: And Nick's sister left the house at five am to
2:45
Speaker 5: get down there from Brooklyn.
2:46
Speaker 3: His sister lives in Brooklyn.
2:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's your sister in law we're talking about.
2:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, my sister in law. So she made it. She's
2:52
Speaker 3: a huge Knicks fan. But it was pretty wild.
2:54
Speaker 2: And we have official numbers on who showed up for
2:57
Speaker 2: the parade, because what I read the estimates were were
3:00
Speaker 2: between two and four million. There's only a five million
3:03
Speaker 2: registered voters in New York.
3:05
Speaker 3: I don't know about that.
3:06
Speaker 5: Maybe that's who viewed the parade, because I think more
3:09
Speaker 5: people couldn't get into the parade area than got in. Okay,
3:14
Speaker 5: because they started to close down those barricades.
3:16
Speaker 2: Well, they were climbing up on the scaffolding and stuff.
3:18
Speaker 5: I mean, I saw that, And that's the crazy thing,
3:21
Speaker 5: because they were sitting on top of.
3:22
Speaker 2: Buildings watching well.
3:24
Speaker 3: Susie, my sister in law.
3:25
Speaker 5: She took photos and sent it to them to us,
3:29
Speaker 5: and I noticed she was under a scaffolding. And then
3:32
Speaker 5: I'm watching TV and I'm saying, Susie, they're climbing on
3:35
Speaker 5: the scaffolding. She goes, yeah, I know, I know they're climbing.
3:37
Speaker 5: I'm like, get away from there.
3:39
Speaker 3: That is not the safest place. And she's like, I
3:41
Speaker 3: can't move. There's no way I can move. So, you know,
3:44
Speaker 3: we did a couple of prayers and we made it through.
3:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, she made well. They were on the light they
3:48
Speaker 2: were on the traffic light poles, and I will say
3:52
Speaker 2: that they appeared not to be trying to destroy the place,
3:56
Speaker 2: unlike what happened after Games five or four and five,
4:00
Speaker 2: which turned out really bad and you had people that
4:03
Speaker 2: were climbing on things trying to destroy them. These were
4:05
Speaker 2: just people trying to get They were just trying to
4:07
Speaker 2: get a site line. They just wanted to see the
4:09
Speaker 2: team as it went by.
4:10
Speaker 3: Oh, there were a couple of knuckleheads.
4:12
Speaker 5: I mean, if you watched the reels, some of New
4:15
Speaker 5: York's not so fine as showed up. I got to
4:18
Speaker 5: say they were probably not from New York, but yeah,
4:21
Speaker 5: but overall it was peaceful and according to ab Are,
4:25
Speaker 5: a resident expert, over two million people attended the parade.
4:29
Speaker 2: It was quite the show. Now I got to ask
4:31
Speaker 2: because I got asked by somebody else about this, and
4:33
Speaker 2: you would be the perfect person to know this. Did
4:36
Speaker 2: this rival was the same size as or bigger than
4:42
Speaker 2: normal Yankee parades when they win the World Series.
4:45
Speaker 5: I don't know about size, but I do know that
4:47
Speaker 5: it certainly united the city where we were all rooting
4:51
Speaker 5: for the Knicks, and you have a divided city when
4:53
Speaker 5: it comes to the Yankees and the Mets. And we'll
4:56
Speaker 5: talk a little bit more about that when Art Shamsky
4:58
Speaker 5: from the sixty nine Mets be our guest. I'm so
5:01
Speaker 5: excited to have a World Series champion. Art Shampski joining
5:06
Speaker 5: us a little bit later, but he'll tell you firsthand what.
5:09
Speaker 3: That was like.
5:11
Speaker 5: But I'm having been through four ticker tapes for the
5:15
Speaker 5: Yankees and then one for the Rangers, this one definitely
5:20
Speaker 5: had a different feel to it. Everybody was aware of it,
5:23
Speaker 5: everybody and it was you know, ticker tape parades in
5:26
Speaker 5: the past, they really stayed downtown.
5:28
Speaker 3: This was everywhere.
5:30
Speaker 5: When I got off the train at Grand Central, you
5:32
Speaker 5: walk past the NBA store, there was a huge line.
5:34
Speaker 5: You go into Times Square, there are people just partying
5:37
Speaker 5: and watching, and you know, it was really a wonderful
5:40
Speaker 5: day for New York City, despite you know, some knuckleheads.
5:44
Speaker 5: We had a I'm sure you probably you know heard
5:47
Speaker 5: that we had a little bit of an issue in
5:49
Speaker 5: Times Square, But guess what the issue and the headline
5:52
Speaker 5: really should be cops nab bad guy right then and there. Yeah,
5:55
Speaker 5: and it was just a stupid kid that couldn't shoot straight. Thankfully, thankfully, thankfully.
6:01
Speaker 5: And I just love the article in the New York
6:03
Speaker 5: Post where they're like, yeah, we were just sitting here
6:05
Speaker 5: and enjoying the day and then heard some gunshots.
6:08
Speaker 3: But now we're enjoying our shish kebab and chillin.
6:13
Speaker 2: That's what say. That was the word that the chilling. Okay,
6:17
Speaker 2: Kebob's and chilling. That's going to be our new subtitle
6:21
Speaker 2: on Fun Friday. Join Christine and Kevin this Fun Friday
6:24
Speaker 2: for shish Kebob's and chilling.

Speaker 6: Going off.
6:31
Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing, how could how could how could

6:40
Speaker 2: if you're not going to make it into the parade route,
6:41
Speaker 2: you had to have a big party in Times Square.
6:43
Speaker 5: Well, and it's become the epicenter and the meeting place.
6:46
Speaker 5: Not only you know, you have the World Cup going on.

10:25
Speaker 1: You're Kevin mccollor.
10:27
Speaker 2: Welcome back. It's the Friday edition of Radio Night Live,
10:30
Speaker 2: which means it is time to talk fun and Christine,
10:32
Speaker 2: you've been like running around like a giddy school girl
10:35
Speaker 2: all week going. I can't wait to get to the
10:37
Speaker 2: show on Friday. We're going to have the coolest guest
10:39
Speaker 2: I know. You've been dying to do this introduction for days,
10:42
Speaker 2: so please enjoy this moment.
10:45
Speaker 3: Well, thank you, Kevin.
10:46
Speaker 5: I mean, we've been talking about Nixon five, but we
10:49
Speaker 5: can't forget Mets in five, way back from nineteen sixty nine.
10:52
Speaker 5: So tonight we have our Chamsky, legendary baseball player, member
10:55
Speaker 5: of the sixty nine Miracle Mets, and author of a
10:58
Speaker 5: book that I find very fascinating.
11:01
Speaker 3: It's not a new book, but you can, of course
11:03
Speaker 3: still get it.
11:04
Speaker 5: It's called The Magnificent Seasons, How the Jets, Mets and
11:08
Speaker 5: Knicks made sports history and uplifted a city and the
11:12
Speaker 5: country and art. We are so pleased to have you
11:15
Speaker 5: first time on Ratio Nut Live because this has been
11:18
Speaker 5: a unifying, uplifting experience that New Yorkers have been just
11:24
Speaker 5: living through with the Knicks finally becoming the NBA champions.
11:28
Speaker 5: Right now, we still feel the afterglow of it.
11:31
Speaker 3: But you were there in the.
11:33
Speaker 5: Thick of it in nineteen sixty nine with those Miracle Mets,
11:35
Speaker 5: and I would love to know if you're thinking of
11:38
Speaker 5: writing an addendum to your book and how this compared
11:42
Speaker 5: to the Mets in sixty nine and also the Jets
11:46
Speaker 5: and the Knicks that you wrote about.
11:48
Speaker 7: Well, thanks so much. It's great to be with you.
11:50
Speaker 7: It was an incredible time in my life. It's still
11:53
Speaker 7: still in New York because it's still doing personal appearances
11:57
Speaker 7: and talking about this incredible.
11:59
Speaker 6: Period of my life.
12:00
Speaker 7: Team, the sixty nine Mets, and of course the Magnificent
12:02
Speaker 7: Seasons really wasn't a labor of love for me. Because
12:06
Speaker 7: what's interesting about the three teams is that many people
12:09
Speaker 7: forget this all this one for the first time. Nobody
12:12
Speaker 7: had won before. A lot of people think the Knicks
12:14
Speaker 7: had won, but we, the Jets, and the Knicks all
12:17
Speaker 7: won for the first time. But you have to put
12:20
Speaker 7: it in perspective of what was going on in the
12:22
Speaker 7: city and the country and the world at the time.
12:24
Speaker 7: You know, we're in the world that's upside down now,
12:26
Speaker 7: but back in those days, the war in Vietnam was
12:28
Speaker 7: here in the country apart, so many problems going on
12:31
Speaker 7: with the city in New York of assassinations, just a
12:36
Speaker 7: terrible time. And what we did collectively, all three of
12:39
Speaker 7: the teams, has made people feel better about their lives
12:42
Speaker 7: for a brief period of time, and in some cases
12:45
Speaker 7: this whole fifty seven years later, people are still talking
12:49
Speaker 7: about it, and I get Vietnam veterans and people who
12:53
Speaker 7: were in despair at the time coming up to me
12:55
Speaker 7: and just saying thank you, and so for me, my
12:58
Speaker 7: life changed October sixth, nineteen sixty nine when we won
13:02
Speaker 7: the World Series and the course being in that parade
13:04
Speaker 7: that was a few days later was unbelievable, and so
13:07
Speaker 7: many memories about it, all these guys on the Knicks,
13:10
Speaker 7: which has been great for the city of New York
13:12
Speaker 7: and at a time when people needed something that may
13:15
Speaker 7: be positive because we're again, we're in a world it's
13:18
Speaker 7: upside down now too, but something like this really brings
13:21
Speaker 7: a city together, and the Knicks doing this is just incredible.
13:25
Speaker 7: And all of those players on that team their lives
13:27
Speaker 7: have changed too from that day when they won. And
13:30
Speaker 7: it's been a long time, so many years since the
13:32
Speaker 7: last championship for the Knicks. But to me, I think
13:35
Speaker 7: it's been great for the city. And of course I
13:38
Speaker 7: was very good friends with a lot of the guys
13:39
Speaker 7: that played on the Knicks back in those teams in
13:42
Speaker 7: that particular year, and so I'm really happy for them
13:45
Speaker 7: because it's just great for everybody who's involved.
13:49
Speaker 3: It is a magical time.
13:51
Speaker 5: Our Champsky the fact that you can talk about this,
13:54
Speaker 5: and you mentioned this in.
13:55
Speaker 3: Your book, and we are in a parallel world.
13:58
Speaker 5: I feel like because New York City and our countries divided.
14:02
Speaker 5: And I loved how the Knicks in almost all of
14:06
Speaker 5: their interviews, they said, we did this for the city.
14:08
Speaker 3: The city needed.
14:09
Speaker 5: This, and this is a team that was not about individualism,
14:14
Speaker 5: but it was about really teamwork.
14:18
Speaker 3: By the way, Tracy Hitprint has walked into the studio.
14:20
Speaker 5: Tracy, thank you for joining us, and thank you for
14:22
Speaker 5: introducing us to Art Champsky. This is really a special show.
14:28
Speaker 5: Tracy and Art were on a cruise together. So Tracy,
14:33
Speaker 5: you have a question for Art Champsky or an observation
14:36
Speaker 5: you want to.
14:39
Speaker 8: You know, the main thing I'll say about Art, He's
14:42
Speaker 8: a terrific person. He's a great human being. And I
14:45
Speaker 8: think that's the key thing to the success of those
14:49
Speaker 8: Mets teams and this Nick team today. The character of
14:51
Speaker 8: the people, the comraderie, the ability to have each other's backs,
14:57
Speaker 8: and the compatibility of all the people. Well, you know,
15:00
Speaker 8: every team in sports, professional sports, it is talent.
15:04
Speaker 6: You have to be talented to.
15:05
Speaker 8: Make it to the pros, but to be a winner,
15:08
Speaker 8: to be a champion. There's an extra gear that you need,
15:11
Speaker 8: and people like Art and I'm very friendly with Royn
15:15
Speaker 8: Schwabota from that team. Also, they have that extra gear
15:19
Speaker 8: of empathy and comraderie and the ability to rise to
15:23
Speaker 8: the occasion and it's very special. And they also have
15:28
Speaker 8: a deep appreciation for other people and for what they accomplished,
15:32
Speaker 8: and that's why I think they remembered after all of
15:34
Speaker 8: these years.
15:35
Speaker 2: Well, Tracy, I appreciate that statement in Art, I wanted
15:39
Speaker 2: to point this out. You're sixty nine team. Nobody really
15:44
Speaker 2: knew who Tom Seaver was yet, nobody really knew who
15:46
Speaker 2: Art Shamsky was it, nobody really knew who Nolan Ryan
15:49
Speaker 2: was yet, and you guys were the knicks of this year.
15:52
Speaker 2: You were the hard working kind of you know, still
15:55
Speaker 2: becoming known players that broke through on a year that
16:00
Speaker 2: you guys weren't supposed to do it because you did
16:02
Speaker 2: exactly what Tracy was saying.
16:04
Speaker 7: You know, I think that's very true. I think there's
16:06
Speaker 7: three reasons why that team is a resonation with fans
16:10
Speaker 7: still to this day. Like I said fifty seven years later,
16:13
Speaker 7: I think the fact that they were such a bad
16:15
Speaker 7: team for so many years, and all of a sudden
16:17
Speaker 7: we turned it around. And of course what I said before,
16:19
Speaker 7: what was going on in the city and the country
16:22
Speaker 7: and the world at the time, But I think people
16:24
Speaker 7: related to us. We weren't well known, like you said,
16:29
Speaker 7: and I think people just related to us. We were
16:31
Speaker 7: everybody's friend kind of thing, for lack of a better phrase,
16:35
Speaker 7: and I think that's what really made people feel close
16:38
Speaker 7: to us. And again, I think the fact that we
16:42
Speaker 7: beat an incredibly talented Baltimorial team. I think they won
16:45
Speaker 7: one hundred and seven or one hundred and eight games
16:48
Speaker 7: during the regular season that year, and we were nowhere
16:51
Speaker 7: in their class in terms of people thinking we were
16:53
Speaker 7: going to win. I have the distinction of making the
16:55
Speaker 7: last out in Game one, which started out to be
16:58
Speaker 7: the only game we lost in the world and then
17:00
Speaker 7: we won the next four, but to big part of
17:02
Speaker 7: that and to have people come up to me and say, God,
17:05
Speaker 7: I remember this. And over the years, I've had so
17:07
Speaker 7: many people say, Hey, I was at that last game
17:09
Speaker 7: when you guys won the World Series, and probably one
17:12
Speaker 7: hundred thousand people over the years have said they were there.
17:14
Speaker 7: And I realized the ballpark only held fifty three thousand.
17:17
Speaker 7: So whatever it is, if they were or they weren't,
17:20
Speaker 7: it doesn't make any difference that they think they were there.
17:22
Speaker 7: That's fine with me. But I you know, I played
17:24
Speaker 7: thirteen years and nobody talks about the other twelve. It's
17:27
Speaker 7: really about nineteen sixty nine. And again, I love talking
17:32
Speaker 7: about it, being with it.
17:33
Speaker 6: You know.
17:33
Speaker 7: I try to live by a phrase that the great
17:36
Speaker 7: Jackie Robinson once said, and I'm going to lose something
17:38
Speaker 7: in the translation, basically just said life is only important
17:43
Speaker 7: how it affects other people's lives. And when I meet
17:45
Speaker 7: people who want to talk to me about that team
17:48
Speaker 7: or talk to me about where they were at the time,
17:51
Speaker 7: I just want to give them all the time in
17:52
Speaker 7: the world because I respect what they have to say.
17:55
Speaker 7: But for them to recognize me and have such an
17:58
Speaker 7: impact on their life and it's still going on, and
18:01
Speaker 7: that's the beauty.
18:01
Speaker 6: And that's what I.
18:02
Speaker 7: Think these guys, the players from the Knicks that are
18:04
Speaker 7: going to realize this years from now, that what they did,
18:08
Speaker 7: and in fact, it's a lot of young people too.
18:10
Speaker 7: It's not just older people. Saw how many young people
18:12
Speaker 7: got caught onto the Knicks this year and the years
18:15
Speaker 7: from now, they'll remember what that meant to, how I
18:18
Speaker 7: made people feel better about their lives. And I think
18:21
Speaker 7: there's nothing better than that for me when I meet
18:23
Speaker 7: people and they tell me, hey, I wasn't some doldrums,
18:27
Speaker 7: I was having problems this that, whatever it might be,
18:29
Speaker 7: you made me feel better about my life, about things
18:32
Speaker 7: going on in my life. And that doesn't get any
18:34
Speaker 7: better than that.
18:36
Speaker 2: That's the great art Shamsky and the book is called
18:38
Speaker 2: The Magnificent Season, subtitled How the Jets, Mets and Knicks
18:41
Speaker 2: made sports history and uplifted a city and the country.
18:45
Speaker 2: Got to take a quick break. We're going to come
18:47
Speaker 2: right back. I might just add that the forwards on
18:49
Speaker 2: this book read like a Hall of Fame as well,
18:51
Speaker 2: Joe Namath, Tom Seaver, Bill Bradley, and the intro even
18:55
Speaker 2: like Hall of Fame broadcaster Bob Costas. You don't skimp
18:59
Speaker 2: when you get Shompsky's book. You're going to get the
19:01
Speaker 2: top shelf stook all the way through. Stay with us, coming.
19:04
Speaker 6: Right back.
19:08
Speaker 3: From New York.
19:10
Speaker 6: It's Radio Night Life with Kevin McCullough.
19:13
Speaker 2: Welcome back. It's Radio Night Live, the Fun Friday Edition.
19:16
Speaker 2: We've got a studio packed with people. Tracy Neporn's here
19:19
Speaker 2: with us, the fork, Art Shampsky is here, Christine Nicholas,
19:23
Speaker 2: Kevin McCullough. Of course, in the.
19:25
Speaker 3: Book is Nick Nicholas.
19:26
Speaker 2: By the way, Nicholas is lurking in the backgrounds.
19:29
Speaker 3: He's lurking in the studio.
19:31
Speaker 2: The Magnificent Seasons is the name of the book. How
19:34
Speaker 2: the Jets, Mets, and Knicks made sports history and uplifted
19:36
Speaker 2: a city and the country. Art Shampsky, the toughest question
19:40
Speaker 2: you're going to have to answer on this show tonight.
19:43
Speaker 2: Your Mets have done it again, since the Knicks have
19:45
Speaker 2: now done it again. Since when are the Jets ever
19:48
Speaker 2: going to get another win at the big One?
19:51
Speaker 7: Well, that's a question I can't answer, but I will
19:53
Speaker 7: tell you that I am a diehard Jets fan because
19:56
Speaker 7: we shared the stadium back in those days, and of
19:59
Speaker 7: course was ends with all those Jet players that including
20:03
Speaker 7: Joe Namath and really a wonderful group of guys. And
20:07
Speaker 7: you know, you hope at the beginning of the season
20:11
Speaker 7: leads to good things. That's been a long time, so
20:14
Speaker 7: maybe it will happen.
20:15
Speaker 8: You know.
20:15
Speaker 7: It's it's strange things that happened. That's all I'm going
20:18
Speaker 7: to say.
20:19
Speaker 2: You got to just keep asking you what them you
20:20
Speaker 2: believe in miracles? Yeah, that's the one that you got.
20:23
Speaker 6: Well that's true, that's true. Or maybe we got a
20:26
Speaker 6: fingers crossed.
20:27
Speaker 5: Yeah, maybe the Jets can take a page out of
20:30
Speaker 5: the next playbook. Right, and instead of instead of hiring
20:35
Speaker 5: you know, superstar hotshots of yesteryear, because they always seem
20:39
Speaker 5: to get them as they're aging, why don't you build
20:42
Speaker 5: a team. And when I say a team, like make
20:45
Speaker 5: sure everybody plays, everybody contributes, everybody feels part of it.
20:48
Speaker 5: And I think that is the secret sauce here that
20:51
Speaker 5: you see in the sixty nine Mets, You see it
20:53
Speaker 5: in the in the in the twenty twenty six Knicks,
20:57
Speaker 5: and you you know, if you want to go back
20:59
Speaker 5: to the ninety fours, you also saw that in the Rangers.
21:02
Speaker 5: It was a team and there's no I in team,
21:05
Speaker 5: as they would say in Little league, right, but it
21:07
Speaker 5: resonates today our Chamsky. You won in sixty nine at home,
21:14
Speaker 5: the knixt one on the road. What do you think
21:17
Speaker 5: would have happened the next one year at home?
21:20
Speaker 7: Well, that's interesting because we had three celebrations. That was
21:24
Speaker 7: the first year at the Vision play we wanted the
21:27
Speaker 7: Vision at Shaye. We won the pennant and shame we
21:29
Speaker 7: won the World Series and shape that field took some beating.
21:31
Speaker 7: As a matter of fact, that Jets had to field
21:33
Speaker 7: a game. I think they postponed it or put it
21:35
Speaker 7: off for a while right after we won the World
21:38
Speaker 7: Series because the field was torn up so much that
21:40
Speaker 7: they had three celebrations when you went at home and
21:43
Speaker 7: the fans were able to partake in it, you know,
21:46
Speaker 7: it's just a wonderful experience. There was no crowd control
21:49
Speaker 7: back then, so we had a difficult time getting off
21:52
Speaker 7: the field.
21:52
Speaker 6: But we were so caught.
21:54
Speaker 7: Up in what was going on, and of course, for
21:57
Speaker 7: the reasons we talked earlier, the Mets were known as
21:59
Speaker 7: a lovable loser, bad team from the beginning, and then
22:03
Speaker 7: all the things that were going on at the time
22:04
Speaker 7: with the world and that that's what made it so
22:07
Speaker 7: great that the Knicks, if they would have been home
22:09
Speaker 7: and won, who knows, might have taken a little while.
22:12
Speaker 6: For the Garden to recuperate.
22:14
Speaker 2: But Tracy want in.
22:16
Speaker 6: This right here.
22:17
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, it's always wonderful when you win at home,
22:20
Speaker 8: because you know that's the place that you're most comfortable.
22:24
Speaker 8: And but you know, just winning is the best thing.
22:27
Speaker 8: I think the Jets in those days, they couldn't even
22:30
Speaker 8: open the season at Shase Stadium until like seven or
22:32
Speaker 8: eight weeks into the season because the Mets had first
22:35
Speaker 8: DIBs on the ballpark and they didn't want the field
22:38
Speaker 8: to be all dug up by football. But I just
22:41
Speaker 8: want to add one other thing. I happen to have
22:43
Speaker 8: Jets season tickets as well as Mets season tickets. So
22:45
Speaker 8: this season, it's gonna it's gonna stand for just excel
22:49
Speaker 8: this season.
22:50
Speaker 6: That's what's gonna stand.
22:52
Speaker 2: Well, let me ask. And there's there's rumors that Woody
22:55
Speaker 2: Johnson wants to move them to Long Island. You like that,
22:58
Speaker 2: You like that play make it the true New York
23:00
Speaker 2: team in New.
23:02
Speaker 6: Jersey, that's who they were originally.
23:03
Speaker 7: So yeah, so yeah, I think there's a lot of
23:07
Speaker 7: factors when it comes to certain things. It's what they
23:10
Speaker 7: can get from whoever they would be dealing with in
23:13
Speaker 7: Long Island as opposed to what they get in New Jersey.
23:16
Speaker 7: You know, it's it does seem strange that the New
23:19
Speaker 7: York Jets, but they play their games in New Jersey,
23:21
Speaker 7: much like the Giants, I guess, but but to who knows.
23:24
Speaker 7: You know, it always comes down to the money factors,
23:27
Speaker 7: and we'll see what happens. But you know, I just
23:32
Speaker 7: hope the Jets can kind of get off on a
23:35
Speaker 7: good foot and then give you some hope because you
23:38
Speaker 7: know us dieheard Jet fans really want to see some
23:41
Speaker 7: positive things.
23:42
Speaker 2: Well, and Tracy, you said you're a New Jersey guy,
23:44
Speaker 2: so you vote no, you keep.
23:46
Speaker 6: Them from metals.
23:47
Speaker 8: Right, Listen, if you win, people are happy wherever you are.
23:51
Speaker 6: That's right.
23:51
Speaker 8: You don't win, it doesn't matter. You know, you can
23:53
Speaker 8: be playing on Fifth Avenue and they find a way
23:56
Speaker 8: to be unhappy. So winning solves everything. But I come
24:00
Speaker 8: back to character, you know, and I agree with what
24:03
Speaker 8: Christine said. You have to build a team. You have
24:04
Speaker 8: to get the kind of guys on the team that
24:06
Speaker 8: have each other's backs and that really are playing for
24:09
Speaker 8: the name on the front of the jersey, not the
24:11
Speaker 8: back of the jersey. And when you have a team
24:13
Speaker 8: like that and everything, jealous, it's just beautiful art.
24:17
Speaker 5: Champsky the book. Do you think that there will be
24:22
Speaker 5: another chapter? You know in this wonderful book about uplifting
24:26
Speaker 5: through sports.
24:27
Speaker 2: Magnificence and seasons.
24:29
Speaker 7: I know there's going to be another book. I just
24:31
Speaker 7: hope sometimes relatively soon. I'm not sure exactly what to be,
24:34
Speaker 7: but that book stands alone. I did over one hundred
24:37
Speaker 7: interviews in that book for so many players from winning
24:40
Speaker 7: teams losing teams that.
24:42
Speaker 6: It was really a labor of love. I really enjoyed it.
24:45
Speaker 7: And I still take it with me when I go
24:47
Speaker 7: have these speaking engagements, and people still order for me
24:50
Speaker 7: up on my website, Markshampsky dot com. But I don't
24:53
Speaker 7: know if another I just know there's another book. I'm
24:56
Speaker 7: just not sure if for it. There'll be a dindym
24:58
Speaker 7: to the Magnificent Season. But you know, I always seem
25:01
Speaker 7: like there's things I want to talk about and put
25:04
Speaker 7: in books, and you know, just this time consuming, but
25:07
Speaker 7: it's also a laborer love, and I just want to
25:10
Speaker 7: want to start something new. And I'll talk to Tracy
25:13
Speaker 7: because I'll ask him for his advice on this.
25:15
Speaker 2: That'll give you another reason to come see us too,
25:17
Speaker 2: Art we will look forward to Yeah, all right, tracypor
25:20
Speaker 2: and Arshamsky, we're out of time, but thank you for
25:22
Speaker 2: a great, great evening. Friends. Next we're going to go
25:25
Speaker 2: to Lincoln Center for a few minutes. What a cool
25:28
Speaker 2: show tonight. It's Radio Night Live.
25:34
Speaker 4: What a little moonlight can do.
25:36
Speaker 1: It's Radio night Life. Here's Kevin McCullough.
25:40
Speaker 2: So glad you're back with us. It's the Friday edition
25:42
Speaker 2: of Radio Night Live, which means it's the fun Friday edition. Christine.
25:47
Speaker 2: When Ab told me that our next guest was scheduled,
25:50
Speaker 2: I just about lost my head because there's so many
25:53
Speaker 2: good things about this. But I'll let you do the
25:54
Speaker 2: introductions and then I'll fanboy a little bit.
25:57
Speaker 5: Okay, Well, we have a first timer for radio and
26:00
Speaker 5: I live Clint Ramos, who's the artist in residence at
26:04
Speaker 5: Lincoln Center. But this summer totally focusing on Lincoln Center
26:08
Speaker 5: summer for the city. You are the visual director, so Clint, welcome,
26:12
Speaker 5: and you've got so much going on at Lincoln Center
26:17
Speaker 5: outdoors indoors. How do you keep it all together? And
26:21
Speaker 5: tell us more about what a visual director does?
26:24
Speaker 9: Hi?
26:24
Speaker 4: Christine?
26:25
Speaker 7: Hi?
26:25
Speaker 4: Kevin? Well, yes, indeed everything that you say is true.
26:31
Speaker 4: But I basically oversee all of the visuals and all
26:36
Speaker 4: of the performance spaces for the summer for the city festival.
26:40
Speaker 4: And that includes creating the outdoor spaces like the Big
26:43
Speaker 4: Dance Floor and Josie Robertson Plaza, you know, the performance
26:47
Speaker 4: spaces and Hers Plaza, all of the sort of public
26:51
Speaker 4: sculpture that we do, all of the gathering spaces, this seating,
26:55
Speaker 4: all of it, you know, down to designing the food truck.
27:01
Speaker 6: Yeah.
27:02
Speaker 5: So I noticed the food trucks are going to be
27:04
Speaker 5: representing many different cultures because this summer you're dedicating a
27:08
Speaker 5: real international flare to Lincoln Center.
27:13
Speaker 3: Yeah, so tell us about what we can expect.
27:16
Speaker 4: Well, there are hundreds of performances that are free or
27:21
Speaker 4: choose what you pay, and that's across disciplines like dance, theater, music,
27:30
Speaker 4: and very different kinds of music.
27:32
Speaker 6: Right.
27:32
Speaker 4: And we're also we have we continue our tradition of
27:34
Speaker 4: social dance, which is like salsa swing dance, all outdoors,
27:40
Speaker 4: all in the plaza.
27:41
Speaker 2: And this year we've.
27:43
Speaker 4: For the prior years we've had this you know, ten
27:46
Speaker 4: foot mirror ball on top of the fountain.
27:50
Speaker 6: We don't have that. This year.
27:51
Speaker 4: We're kind of transforming the plaza into what I would
27:55
Speaker 4: say this kind of like a movement space, right, And
27:59
Speaker 4: so you have these. I've installed this kind of elaborate
28:04
Speaker 4: fabric sculpture above. So now the entire plaza where the
28:08
Speaker 4: fountains is shaded, so it's a great place to hang
28:12
Speaker 4: out during the day.
28:14
Speaker 6: That is great.
28:15
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's really it's really amazing, and you could we
28:18
Speaker 4: invite everybody to have lunch there, you know, have a
28:21
Speaker 4: picnic there because the ground is also covered. It's it's
28:24
Speaker 4: you know, we've covered it with with the dance floor tiles.
28:29
Speaker 4: And the theme this year is really gold and wood
28:33
Speaker 4: and the shifting sands of time.
28:37
Speaker 3: Oh fun, I can't wait to see it. I love it.
28:39
Speaker 3: I love the silent disco that you have as well.
28:42
Speaker 3: I was on a performance.
28:44
Speaker 5: I came out and Kevin, I saw these folks with
28:46
Speaker 5: the headphones on but there I couldn't hear the media.
28:49
Speaker 2: You didn't join them? Did you?
28:51
Speaker 3: So much fun?
28:51
Speaker 9: I wanted to to me, that's one of the most
28:56
Speaker 9: special things about summer for the city because, as you said,
28:58
Speaker 9: you know, people are coming for the Metropolitan Opera or
29:01
Speaker 9: from the Philharmonic, and you know, they basically.
29:05
Speaker 4: Collide into the folks who are either dancing salsa or
29:08
Speaker 4: sewing or those silent riscos. And a lot of them
29:12
Speaker 4: actually just join in, like, oh we can have you know,
29:15
Speaker 4: thirty minutes of like cardio. But it's a wonderful, but
29:18
Speaker 4: it's a very New York thing, you know what I mean.
29:20
Speaker 2: It's like, does it get more New York in terms
29:24
Speaker 2: of the arts than Lincoln Center. I think anybody that's
29:26
Speaker 2: ever come to visit my bride and I since we've
29:29
Speaker 2: lived here, you know, everybody wants to at least drive
29:32
Speaker 2: past it, go step on the property somewhere. And for
29:35
Speaker 2: you know, we've been here twenty five going on twenty
29:38
Speaker 2: six years. We can't get enough of Lincoln Center. It's
29:42
Speaker 2: just it's just our favorite place in the whole city.
29:44
Speaker 2: And the interesting thing about what you do these last
29:48
Speaker 2: five summers is you're getting people by the millions on
29:50
Speaker 2: the campus. I've read one point six million people have
29:54
Speaker 2: enjoyed your work over the last five years, So that's
29:56
Speaker 2: really cool. One of your other main duties there as
30:01
Speaker 2: the Artist in residence is you're the curator of the
30:03
Speaker 2: American Songbook. And there may be people listening that don't
30:07
Speaker 2: know what that refers to, but what does that speak
30:11
Speaker 2: to in you? And why did you take that on?
30:13
Speaker 2: And as an artist in residence. What does it mean
30:15
Speaker 2: to you to be able to curate this truly piece
30:18
Speaker 2: of American history.
30:20
Speaker 4: Yeah, now, I thank you for asking that. I think well,
30:22
Speaker 4: it says set an honor when I'm Chanta fake asked
30:26
Speaker 4: me to curate the series. First of all, it was
30:30
Speaker 4: overwhelming because I've been a fan like.
30:33
Speaker 6: You for a long time.
30:34
Speaker 4: But American Songbook is a series of concerts, you know,
30:38
Speaker 4: or performances that happened across our venues, which is Jazz
30:42
Speaker 4: at Lincoln Center, Gefen Hall, Alistully Hall, the David Rubinstein Atrium,
30:47
Speaker 4: and we invite folks who are and it's really a
30:51
Speaker 4: big embrace, right, Like it's from musical theater to pop
30:54
Speaker 4: to jazz, and we invite artists to meditate on a
30:59
Speaker 4: theme for that year and create, you know, a concert
31:03
Speaker 4: really well, this past May, we've had nine concerts you know,
31:08
Speaker 4: across all of those venues and this theme is this
31:12
Speaker 4: year's songbooks theme is called Echoes of an inheritance, right,
31:16
Speaker 4: because of how we inherit all of these musical traditions
31:19
Speaker 4: really and so it's very exciting. It's a chance for
31:22
Speaker 4: New Yorkers to really sit and have enjoy a concert
31:25
Speaker 4: that's again free and choose what you pay.
31:28
Speaker 2: Which Christine, I don't know how many other big cities
31:30
Speaker 2: do that, but to have the kind of premiere arts
31:34
Speaker 2: space offer anything along those lines. I mean I was
31:38
Speaker 2: in London over Christmas at Royal Albert. That's not the
31:41
Speaker 2: case there. I mean Lincoln Center is head and shoulders
31:44
Speaker 2: unlike any other place on the planet.
31:46
Speaker 4: No, it's literally the gift to New Yorkers, right, it
31:49
Speaker 4: is ours, and it's like, I'm very proud to be
31:52
Speaker 4: a New Yorker, I'm very proud to be you know,
31:54
Speaker 4: an American and having this institution because you know, as
31:58
Speaker 4: we all know, there's a there's a lack of state
32:02
Speaker 4: support for you know, on many levels of government in
32:06
Speaker 4: the arts. But Lincoln Center really is what I would say,
32:10
Speaker 4: our state performance center, right, because it also holds all
32:15
Speaker 4: of these like partner institutions like the Metropolitan Opera, you know,
32:19
Speaker 4: both American Ballet Theater and New York City Ballet, the
32:23
Speaker 4: New York l you know, Lincoln Center Theater. So it
32:28
Speaker 4: is what I would say, it's a gift. And this
32:32
Speaker 4: is an example, you know, summer for the city. Every
32:36
Speaker 4: summer we have between two hundred to three hundred performances happened.
32:40
Speaker 5: Wow, and that's performing arts centers can boast that they
32:44
Speaker 5: have two hundred to three hundred in a year. And
32:48
Speaker 5: now Clint Ramos, you have it ninety. And we haven't
32:52

32:55
Speaker 5: Tony Award. And that is at the Lincoln Center Theater.
