Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Forty KFI AM six forty. We're live everywhere in the
iHeartRadio app and YouTube. It's Later with Mo Kelly. Let's
do a little bit of health and wellness with our
regular commentator, the Claudine Cooper. Go to Claudinecooper dot com.
She joins me right now in the studio. How you doing,
miss Cooper?
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Hello everyone? How are you mo? It's good to be
back in studio with you.
Speaker 4 (00:25):
It's always good to have you.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
And we were texting each other and I was saying,
I was asking, did you have people in your workouts
in your gym that were either tangentially affected or directly
affected by the fires, and how is that played out
in their workout life and their health and wellness life.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
The answer is yes.
Speaker 5 (00:48):
Obviously most of us who live in Los Angeles County
have experienced someone close to us.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Who has either been would you call it.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Ten ten tangentially? I like it directly?
Speaker 5 (01:00):
You're you're so smart, mom. I just got to catch up. Look,
if I didn't like you, I would go ahead. So
here's what happened that week. You know, they we knew
that the weather was kind of crazy and there was
a possibility that there were going to be fires.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
I still went to work.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
And what was surprising to me when I went to
go teach my classes were how many people also came
to class, and they came to class because they needed
a reprieve from watching constant news. And I don't know
if you saw what I posted on Facebook the other day,
(01:38):
but I really do think that our mental health is
impacted by the amount of news, the amount of information,
the amount of content that we consume.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
I close on that one hundred percent.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
It impacts me and my life, my health and wellness,
my emotional agility, you know, all of that. All of
that's real, and I can only imagine during those types
of events how it may impact someone where it's not
their job and they're inundated with it.
Speaker 5 (02:11):
So it's your job to work in the news, but
it's my job to work in the gym, and a
lot of people are coming to work out for not
just their physical health, but also for their mental health.
And at that time, there were a lot of people
suffering in mental health ways because you had firefighters yep,
right then, you had.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Which didn't occur to me until I was in the gym.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
You had the spouses or the partners of firefighters, right,
so they're already in a panic state because the people
they love are out there fighting the fires. Then we
also have like my co workers whose families were losing homes,
(02:54):
so tangent gently, tangentially, I'm my work on that. So yes,
But to say that, to say we have had even
after that, the recovery efforts of just trying to keep
enough wellness resources available to the people who are still recovering,
(03:16):
this is an over mo.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
No, it's not over. And the long term implications we
don't know. But I imagine it avails itself. It shows
itself in different ways. I'm quite sure there's some people
saying like, look, I don't have time to go to
the gym. I'm trying to make sure my life is
in order, still dealing with the direct impact of the fires.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
And there are those who are saying like they might
be in this malaise where.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
They don't feel inspired to go work out because there's
such a heavy burden upon them.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
I mean, people who work out consistently are really addicted
to the way it makes them feel.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
That's the truth. Like, I think you work out consistently
because of how it makes.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
You feel, right dorphins.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
I mean, I don't want to do it when I'm
getting some days, but then after I do it, I
feel like, hash, let's go another.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
Hour, Let's go another hour. That's me every time I'm
in the gym, I'm like, I could do another class.
But but you do have to also, as you get older,
be very careful about getting caught up in that adrenaline
because you'll push yourself and then you'll end up injured.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
And I'm nursing an injury right now.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Yeah, I got an injury just because I woke up
today and my ankle was sprayed and I noticed it
when I first got out of bed and I was
walking down the stairs.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
I couldn't tell you what happened. I honestly don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
I just know that my ankle was sprayed or felt
like it was sprayed. And all I did was wake
up and put my feet on the floor, yes and
be fifty five.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
Well, you got to make it personal.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
I mean, this is the truth, is what did you
hear that?
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Why don't you got to make it personal?
Speaker 5 (04:46):
What did I do to Claudie, The truth is, when
you get to be a certain age, you can turn
your head the wrong way and all of a sudden
you've got a crook in your neck. I mean, it's
so many different arge ways, and like you said, you
don't always know. I think that my injury is because
I was doing something a little bit too much at
the gym. I got carried away and I was in
our number three, I think, and that's when, like I said,
(05:09):
I'm talking to myself, not anyone else. But you really
do have to monitor your output in the gym. And
so anyways, going back to the fires, I did see
a lot of firefighters return back to the gym, because
firefighters typically do like to use the gym for their
own personal physical fitness. And as they came back, oh moh,
(05:30):
my heart broke. One guy said.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Of course.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
I asked him how he's doing. He said, I haven't.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
Slept in days, just reliving, just thinking about what happened.
And as you know, sleep is a huge part of
our healing and recovery in any aspect.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
You may have asked on that occasion, but do people
just share do they offer up? Because I know the
people who may run your classes, you turn into kind
of a catch all for everyone's lives. They will share
things about their lives. What else are they sharing with.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
You in that regard?
Speaker 5 (06:08):
As far as the fires go, people are still looking
for places to live. There seems to be like a
housing shortage for people who have been displaced. So that
is what I've been hearing again. Yes, people do tell
me a lot of things, things that aren't related to
fire recovery. But people do tend to share a lot
with their personal trainers and with their group fitness instructors.
(06:32):
And that's natural because who do you spend one hour
a day with every day or every other day. Is
there anyone you can think of you spend that much
time with.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
No, no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
I mean you know you listen to later Mo Kelly,
you talking about the best three hours out there.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
So it might be a.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Little biased, but you might be a little biased.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Maybe your pastor maybe, but not every.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Day on Sundays.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Right, It's not too many people you're spending that much
time with. I mean I think about you know, as
far as my family goes, yeah, I spend time with them,
but like outside of that, even my close friends do
I see them for.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
One hour a day every other day.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
No, I don't.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
So there is a closeness that we have.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
If you're joining us right now, it's Wellness Wednesday. On
Later with mo Kelly. You can see Claudine Cooper not
only at Claudinecooper dot com, but here in studio as

Speaker 1 (07:41):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty and YouTube.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
As my continue my conversation with Claudine Cooper, go to
Claudinecooper dot com right now and find out more.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
She joins me in the studio.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Claudie, we were talking last segment about the impact of
the fire see emotional sometimes physical impact on how people
approach their future health and wellness. They're still dealing with
it emotionally, they're still dealing with it physically and as
we get now we're on the doorstep of summer, I
would say, well, wellness, bring we're looking at summer. How
(08:17):
does that impact what you do? All these things put
together hmm.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
I will say that I feel very connected to people
who have gone through a lot of trauma, and going
through the fires is a trauma, and so I call
myself a trauma informed wellness professional. That just means that
I've been through some things, and if you've been through
(08:43):
some things, let's use these tools to help ourselves heal.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Do you find sometimes when people offer up about their
personal lives and you hear what firefighters were going through,
what other people were going through, that sometimes it's a
little too much for eving you.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
Oh, I definitely hit my max capacity by the end
of my work day. And my husband will tell you,
I come home and I just need like a moment
to well, let me.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Ask her to get your business when I walk in
the house. I my wife.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Knows even though when our schedules were more comparable. Yeah,
don't hit me with a bunch of questions because I've
been in the car probably for an hour an hour
and a half. I don't I'm not ready to have
a conversation yet. I'm not ready to have a conversation
when I first wake up, and I'm not ready to
have a conversation when I first walk in the door.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
How you doing, how was you day? Tell me about this,
what happened to what? No sometime? What's it like for you?
Speaker 3 (09:36):
As always, you and me were twins. Don't talk to
me when I wake up, don't.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
Talk to your But I don't have to say that
to my husband because he trained me years ago. You know,
he had a very stressful job as well, with a
long commute as well, and so he didn't want to
be bothered when he just got in the house, and
so we've kind of both honored that for each other.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Without getting into the specifics of what you're husband did
before retiring.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Was that something that he.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
In an emotional way, brought home and you had to
be that wellness professional for him as well?
Speaker 3 (10:15):
That's a good question.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
I know that's why they paid the little bucks, they
pay you the.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Big bucks, But.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
I I don't know that I would use my wellness
professional skills on my husband so much. But we definitely
have an understanding of how to engage with each other
when one.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Or the other of us is at our last rope.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
You know how that what you're talking about, you know
how only that all the married people can feel me
right now?
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Yes, do we have any questions in the in the
chat Carnegie? If not, I'll come back to you. Okay,
let me come back to you.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Then.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Of course you still have your your free Saturday workouts,
and I'm quite sure there heat up literally because as
the weather gets better, you have more and more people
coming out. Let's remind people how they can get their
workout on for free each and every Saturday.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
Well, I love that the weather does bring out more people.
But because of the weather, we also have other competing
events in the area where I teach the classes. So
this week we're doing a five k for veterans, so
that is going to compete. Say that, a five K
for veterans, so that's going to compete with my free workout.
(11:32):
But we're still having the workout and we're still having
the walk, so it'll be both at the same time.
And that's right near Sofi Stadium. It's called the Hollywood
Park Retail District. And I start my workout at nine
every Saturday.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
When I've gone the best place to park is just
enter off Prairie and ninety seven.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
Easy enter off Prairie in ninety seven, huge garage, huge
free parking, farmers Market's going to be going on that day.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
It's really a very easy in, easy out.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
But people over complicate things, especially if they've never been.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
And I've noticed that this is just a sidebar. Do
I have some time?
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Of course you do.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
So I've noticed this with people nowadays, even more so
than before.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
There's a lot of anxiety in the gym.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
And I didn't recognize that there was something called gim anxiety.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Have you heard of it much?
Speaker 6 (12:25):
No?
Speaker 4 (12:25):
I'm not.
Speaker 5 (12:26):
It did not, Okay, So this is a real thing,
and it is stemming from not knowing what to expect
when you get to the gym, not knowing who else
going to be there, not knowing the exact place to park.
So there's a lot of people suffering from gym anxiety,
(12:50):
and when they get to the gym, it doesn't stop there.
It goes into now what do I do now that
I'm at the gym?
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Do I live weights? Do I do cardio? Do I?
So this is.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
Something that fitness professionals are now being trained on learning
how to manage the people who have Jim anxiety.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I can imagine any level of uncertainty creates anxiety, and
I can imagine for any person who may not work
out consistently in a gym environment, you walk in, you
don't know anyone by and large, You don't know who's
going to be there, who you may run into, who
may look at you in a different ways, like, oh,
you're trying to work out. You don't know what type
(13:36):
of judgment or perceived judgment is awaiting you. And then
you don't know what people are going to think why
you're doing what you're doing. It's like, oh, that person
does I'm going to just talk about the things that
I've thought about as a grown ass man. It's like, Oh,
that he doesn't know what he's doing, he's not using
the weights correctly, or he's not going to get anything done.
Those are just my thoughts and I can only assume
extends beyond me.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
Well, the thing about anxiety is it has, at least
in my opinion having worked with the gyms over the
last thirty two years, anxiety overall has increased. And I
don't know what that is from, but I definitely know
I'm seeing it in younger people and I'm seeing it
(14:21):
more frequently, and you talked about parking for my workout.
I have someone who just came couldn't figure out the
parking situation, turned around left.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
I think more than just a few of us are
always looking for a reason to not even to leave.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
And that's totally I agree with that. That's totally understandable.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
And I think maybe Jim anxiety is also people who
don't really want to be at the gym anyway.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
That's true, you know, Yeah, so Clauding Cooper very quickly,
let's get her card up on screen again, Daniel, how
can people find you beyond Claudincooper dot com, your social
media and so forth.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
I guess Daniel just put up my email, but that's
an old number, so you're not going to reach me,
don't call me anyway.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
So I think I.

When we come back.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
We're going to go from one extreme to the other
and talk about the worst fast food restaurants in America.
It might be a theme for that matter, the worst
fast food restaurants in America. And don't go anywhere because
we are still going to be giving away those Disney
on Ice into the Magic tickets for tomorrow night at
the Toyota Arena in Ontario.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI six and YouTube.

Don't forget we'll be giving away these Disney on Ice
tickets sometime tonight.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
But you gotta have the password.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
As a matter of fact, Hey, Daniel, why don't we
switch over to the other camera and see if people
can see what I see. To make sure that they
see what they need to see, Daniel switch over the camera.
If he switches over the camera, we'll give you the password.
All right, it's coming up in just a second, and
(16:32):
you'll need to know this word if and when you
call in to win the tickets to Disney on Ice.
Of course, we're having some technical difficulties right when it's needed.
I know they always say, hey, it's live radio. Stuff happens.
Stuff happens. But we'll come back to it in a second.
(16:54):
If you are wondering what are some of the worst
fast food restaurants in America, let me just give you
the top ten. And this is according to petsreporter dot com.
Why petsreporter dot com is talking about fast food, I
don't know, but it makes for good radio subject.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Coming in at number ten of the worst fast food
restaurants in America.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
And this is a compilation of Yelp reviews and complaints
and stories things of that nature. Here's number ten, Taco Bell,
or as we called it, Taco Hell. I can't disagree
with that, You'll Caro, what diarrhea. Just because you like
(17:36):
something Stefan doesn't mean that it's not horrible. That's not good.
We mean, well, you're gonna be gunning for Taco Bell, yeah,
because it's delicious. Tuala, I know, didn't you work at
Taco Bell? Yeah, you did, so you're not Taco Bell. Yeh,
goodness gracious.
Speaker 7 (17:55):
I did hear Taco Bell. And I don't know why
Taco Bell is on this list. I had Taco Bell yesterday. Okay,
are you feeling okay? I am, I'm fine. I haven't
been a Taco Bell in decades. You're seconds And the
only time I went was for the Mexican pizza. I
still have it to classic. They still have it. It's
still delicious, okay. And they have chicken nuggets.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Now, I'm not going to Taco Bell for chicken nuns.
Get out of here. Number nine.

I disagree with this KFC. It may not be healthy
for you, but KFC is not one of the ten worst.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
No, it's fire too. Number eight.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
I could have sworn that they were out of business.
Long John Silver. I could have sworn that they were. No, definitely,

They're around. Oh I know. I know they're in the hood,
but I'm saying I haven't seen them anywhere. Oh man,
you're missing out. Yeah, they still fish, fish and chips. Fire.
Speaker 8 (19:00):

Here's number seven, And I disagree with this because we
just had it recently.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
Number seven Domino's pizza. See okay, see list.
Speaker 8 (19:26):
This list is obviously written by a bunch of health
ultra health nuts people want to live. Yes, no, bunch
of hippies. Oh, because you didn't like Dominoes?
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Mark you sure? You're sure?
Speaker 8 (19:37):
You sure had a couple of slices there? Do you
want me to get into the Dominoes thing?
Speaker 4 (19:42):
No?
Speaker 8 (19:42):
Okay, all right, but he had it, liked it because
it's pizza, and that is our universal Achilles heel. We're
all gonna eat pizza. Yes, that is true.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Number six. This is not locally California. Crystal k R
y s T A L. I guess it's like White Castle.

I haven't been there.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Number three of the ten worst fast food restaurants in America.
It's so bad they listed it twice.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
Taco Bell in Hell. This list can burn a well deserved.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
It's so bad they said. Put them in at number three.
Hands like number ten.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
Wow. Number two Harry Queen, as we called it. I
don't mind Dairy Queen.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
I don't mind it, but I only get like the
ice cream stuff.
Speaker 8 (21:22):
I don't get the food. Yeah, I don't get the
food there. I don't think I've eaten in the Dairy
Queen as an adult. What is their specialty?

Even?
Speaker 2 (21:29):
They have burgers, yeah, chicken fingers, But I don't get
stuff ice ice cream yeah yeah.
Speaker 8 (21:35):
When we went as kids, it was because Dennis the
Menace was their mascot and we didn't care about how
good the food was.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
And coming in and number one the worst fast food
in America, according to Petsreporter Dot com which is weird.
It's really weird. It's not weird at all. Propaganda that
makes sense. It comes number one, and I actually agree
(22:07):
with this. Arby's we have the meat.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
That's fair, right, Carnasie is like shaking her head. No, no, no,
Arby's is garbage. No lies told the garbage. That's probably
the most truthful one so far.
Speaker 7 (22:21):
If you see an Arby's, it usually has wood in
the windows for being shut down.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
And it's not in the top ten, but it should
be in the top ten talking about wood in the windows.
Churches fried chickens. Oh oh h church? Why church is
not that chicken? Okay, I just I got a few seconds,
so on the rust that's want to give you the
from twenty to ten with no fan fare. Number twenty

Speaker 1 (24:56):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from KFI.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
It's Later with Moe Kelly.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and YouTube, So
if you're on the go, take us with you. Host
Mickey Mouse and Mini Mouse bring audiences on an expedition
across raging seas, snow covered mountains, and the Marigold Bridge
in Disney on Ice presents Into the Magic. This extravaganza
features Disney's Moana, Frozen, Coco, and Beauty and the Beast,
(25:24):
with other beloved Disney characters playing the Toyota Arena in
Ontario starting tomorrow through Sunday. Right now, I'm happy to
be joined by Kyle James, performance director for.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
Disney on Ice. Kyle is good to talk to you.
How you doing, sir, I'm doing great. How are you?
Speaker 2 (25:39):
I'm doing well. I've been looking forward to this conversation.
Disney on Ice features skaters from literally around the world,
from Canada to Kazakhstan to even the Philippines.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
What is the audition and selection process?
Speaker 6 (25:54):
Like all the skaters that are interested in joining Disney
on Ice, they usually train and compete their whole life life,
and then when they're ready for something new, they send
in a video to our casting team and if anyone's
interested out there, all the information is on our website,
discoonnice dot com.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Does the show vary from city to city with moving
parts or is it consistent regardless of venue.
Speaker 6 (26:19):
It's consistent regardless of the venue. We try to put
our same consistent product out there.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
Each time.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
There is performance and there is preparation. What is the
training that the skaters employed beyond just the normal rehearsals. Yes,
they're skating all the time, but what type of maybe
physical workout routine do some skaters employ?
Speaker 6 (26:38):
Yeah, so every skater has their own physical workout plan
that works for them. A lot of people enjoy running outside.
Some people are always in the gym. It really is
just whatever their body is used to and how they've
trained their whole life.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
How long is this tour? What part are you in
this tour? Of course it's been going on all across
the country. But where are we in the tour?
Speaker 6 (27:02):
We are on week twenty nine of thirty, so we
may have this week and one more week left.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
As the performance director, do you sense at any point,
just person to person a level of fatigue Given that
you're week twenty nine out of thirty. How do you
maintain that same level of enthusiasm amongst the cast members
from week to week.
Speaker 6 (27:23):
Yeah, so everyone again as their own thing that works
for them. And I've learned each one of my performers
some need to pick me up, some just need you're
doing great, some need just to pat on the back,
and yeah, it's just always trying to keep the energy
up and keep them motivated.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
I know when I go to the theater, there's the
principal cast and you usually have understudies. Is it the
same for Disney on Ice where you'll have your principal cast,
but you have a selection of I don't want to
call them backup skaters, but understudies who could step in
at a moment's notice, someone maybe injured, someone maybe under
the weather.
Speaker 6 (27:58):
Yeah, we have our principal cast and then we have
plenty of talented under studies that are always ready to
go in at any time.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
How do they go about doing that? Now?
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Do you have the under studies who learn five or
six different parts or is it just one to one with.
Speaker 6 (28:14):
The Disney on ice. Everything is specific to the role,
So it's just if they have the look at how
what the casting team and Disney's looking for for that
individual role.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
When you are touring the country, I'm quite sure that
you may be surprised by something or you may see
something like, oh, so and so did something just a
little bit different or in an inflection in their voice,
or there was something they did that they hadn't done before.
Is that common or what types of things are emblematic
of that?
Speaker 6 (28:41):
Yeah, everyone brings their own personality to each of the characters.
That everyone tries to stick to the same like basics
of each character, but everyone makes it their own in
a little ways.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Does it very though from performance toformance, Knny, do you
see like, well James did a little bit something different tonight,
or he had a little more who has him tonight?
Speaker 4 (29:01):
Or he added an ad lib line? Does that happen?
Speaker 5 (29:04):
It?
Speaker 6 (29:04):
Does it here and there? But I feel like since
I watched so many shows that they all kind of
blend together.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Well, let's talk about since you're watching shows, how do
you run this as a performance director?
Speaker 4 (29:16):
Do you have the formal rehearsals.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Where you're saying five six seven, Hey, how does a
rehearsal go?
Speaker 6 (29:22):
Yeah, so we rehearse for almost two weeks down in
our headquarters in Florida, and then that's just when we
teach the whole show. We run the show, make it
show ready, and we get on the road. And then
throughout the tour I hold rehearsals when needed. And then
every show I watch and I take notes and I
go back and talk to the crew or the skaters,
whoever needs to fix with this what was wrong?
Speaker 4 (29:45):
As a performance director, let me stay right there.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
What is your barometer as far as a performance being
on par with what you expect, what Disney expects, and
what type of variance is there?
Speaker 4 (29:57):
I'm quite sure.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Not every performance is the same, not every crowd is
the same, the energy level is not the same. So
what are some of the cues and clues that you're
looking for.
Speaker 6 (30:08):
My job as a performance structor is just a whole
the integrity of the show as it was created by
the producers, and just making my own little touches on
it to keep it new and fun for everyone.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
It's live entertainment.
Speaker 6 (30:20):
I get things happen, but we always try to keep
it to our higher standard.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
Do you have any input?
Speaker 2 (30:27):
You said you work on the show for a good
two weeks before you go out on the road. What
is your level of input as far as putting that
show together or providing a vision that is being followed.
Speaker 6 (30:39):
It depends on the show. If it's like a brand
new show that I'm first the first person working on,
you have a lot of input.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
And then when it.
Speaker 6 (30:45):
Comes down the line and then I'm like, I don't
even know what number performance structure to work on this show,
but it all of us bring our own little thing
and have made our little touches all over the show.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
All right, with all that as a precursor, let's get
into a Disney on ice Presents Into the Magic. We're
gonna be giving away a family four pack to tomorrow's
show in Ontario at the Toyota Arena. What should our
winners and everyone else in attendance expect to see?
Speaker 6 (31:14):
Yeah, there you get to see six amazing stories we
have our Class six, like Cinderella and Beating the Beasts,
and some of our new favorites that everyone loves like Frozen, Muana, Cocoa,
Entangled and Yeah. Just it's a story that everyone gets
to enjoy and it's so much magic.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
All right.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Well, speaking of the magic, Kyle James, performance director for
Disney on Ice. Disney on Ice Presents Into the Magic
can be experienced at the Toyota Arena in Ontario through Sunday.
Kyle James, I want to thank you as my guest
coming on tonight. Thank you for all you do and
congratulations on a wonderful, wonderful tour.
Speaker 4 (31:47):

we can tell you just that you need to know.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
K F I and k O S t h D
two Los Angeles, Orange County
Speaker 4 (32:07):
Live everywhere on the e art radio app
You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Forty KFI AM six forty. We're live everywhere in the
iHeartRadio app and YouTube. It's Later with Mo Kelly. Let's
do a little bit of health and wellness with our
regular commentator, the Claudine Cooper. Go to Claudinecooper dot com.
She joins me right now in the studio. How you doing,
miss Cooper?
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Hello everyone? How are you mo? It's good to be
back in studio with you.
Speaker 4 (00:25):
It's always good to have you.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
And we were texting each other and I was saying,
I was asking, did you have people in your workouts
in your gym that were either tangentially affected or directly
affected by the fires, and how is that played out
in their workout life and their health and wellness life.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
The answer is yes.
Speaker 5 (00:48):
Obviously most of us who live in Los Angeles County
have experienced someone close to us.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Who has either been would you call it.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Ten ten tangentially? I like it directly?
Speaker 5 (01:00):
You're you're so smart, mom. I just got to catch up. Look,
if I didn't like you, I would go ahead. So
here's what happened that week. You know, they we knew
that the weather was kind of crazy and there was
a possibility that there were going to be fires.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
I still went to work.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
And what was surprising to me when I went to
go teach my classes were how many people also came
to class, and they came to class because they needed
a reprieve from watching constant news. And I don't know
if you saw what I posted on Facebook the other day,
(01:38):
but I really do think that our mental health is
impacted by the amount of news, the amount of information,
the amount of content that we consume.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
I close on that one hundred percent.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
It impacts me and my life, my health and wellness,
my emotional agility, you know, all of that. All of
that's real, and I can only imagine during those types
of events how it may impact someone where it's not
their job and they're inundated with it.
Speaker 5 (02:11):
So it's your job to work in the news, but
it's my job to work in the gym, and a
lot of people are coming to work out for not
just their physical health, but also for their mental health.
And at that time, there were a lot of people
suffering in mental health ways because you had firefighters yep,
right then, you had.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Which didn't occur to me until I was in the gym.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
You had the spouses or the partners of firefighters, right,
so they're already in a panic state because the people
they love are out there fighting the fires. Then we
also have like my co workers whose families were losing homes,
(02:54):
so tangent gently, tangentially, I'm my work on that. So yes,
But to say that, to say we have had even
after that, the recovery efforts of just trying to keep
enough wellness resources available to the people who are still recovering,
(03:16):
this is an over mo.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
No, it's not over. And the long term implications we
don't know. But I imagine it avails itself. It shows
itself in different ways. I'm quite sure there's some people
saying like, look, I don't have time to go to
the gym. I'm trying to make sure my life is
in order, still dealing with the direct impact of the fires.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
And there are those who are saying like they might
be in this malaise where.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
They don't feel inspired to go work out because there's
such a heavy burden upon them.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
I mean, people who work out consistently are really addicted
to the way it makes them feel.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
That's the truth. Like, I think you work out consistently
because of how it makes.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
You feel, right dorphins.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
I mean, I don't want to do it when I'm
getting some days, but then after I do it, I
feel like, hash, let's go another.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
Hour, Let's go another hour. That's me every time I'm
in the gym, I'm like, I could do another class.
But but you do have to also, as you get older,
be very careful about getting caught up in that adrenaline
because you'll push yourself and then you'll end up injured.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
And I'm nursing an injury right now.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Yeah, I got an injury just because I woke up
today and my ankle was sprayed and I noticed it
when I first got out of bed and I was
walking down the stairs.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
I couldn't tell you what happened. I honestly don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
I just know that my ankle was sprayed or felt
like it was sprayed. And all I did was wake
up and put my feet on the floor, yes and
be fifty five.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
Well, you got to make it personal.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
I mean, this is the truth, is what did you
hear that?
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Why don't you got to make it personal?
Speaker 5 (04:46):
What did I do to Claudie, The truth is, when
you get to be a certain age, you can turn
your head the wrong way and all of a sudden
you've got a crook in your neck. I mean, it's
so many different arge ways, and like you said, you
don't always know. I think that my injury is because
I was doing something a little bit too much at
the gym. I got carried away and I was in
our number three, I think, and that's when, like I said,
(05:09):
I'm talking to myself, not anyone else. But you really
do have to monitor your output in the gym. And
so anyways, going back to the fires, I did see
a lot of firefighters return back to the gym, because
firefighters typically do like to use the gym for their
own personal physical fitness. And as they came back, oh moh,
(05:30):
my heart broke. One guy said.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Of course.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
I asked him how he's doing. He said, I haven't.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
Slept in days, just reliving, just thinking about what happened.
And as you know, sleep is a huge part of
our healing and recovery in any aspect.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
You may have asked on that occasion, but do people
just share do they offer up? Because I know the
people who may run your classes, you turn into kind
of a catch all for everyone's lives. They will share
things about their lives. What else are they sharing with.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
You in that regard?
Speaker 5 (06:08):
As far as the fires go, people are still looking
for places to live. There seems to be like a
housing shortage for people who have been displaced. So that
is what I've been hearing again. Yes, people do tell
me a lot of things, things that aren't related to
fire recovery. But people do tend to share a lot
with their personal trainers and with their group fitness instructors.
(06:32):
And that's natural because who do you spend one hour
a day with every day or every other day. Is
there anyone you can think of you spend that much
time with.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
No, no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
I mean you know you listen to later Mo Kelly,
you talking about the best three hours out there.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
So it might be a.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Little biased, but you might be a little biased.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Maybe your pastor maybe, but not every.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Day on Sundays.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Right, It's not too many people you're spending that much
time with. I mean I think about you know, as
far as my family goes, yeah, I spend time with them,
but like outside of that, even my close friends do
I see them for.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
One hour a day every other day.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
No, I don't.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
So there is a closeness that we have.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
If you're joining us right now, it's Wellness Wednesday. On
Later with mo Kelly. You can see Claudine Cooper not
only at Claudinecooper dot com, but here in studio as
she joins us, as she's been known to do. So
if you have a question or thought, put it in
the chat. We have the live YouTube stream that's the
where you want to do that, and we'll have Claudide
answer some questions when we come back. It's Later with

mo Kelly, CAFI AM six forty and YouTube live everywhere
around the world.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty and YouTube.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
As my continue my conversation with Claudine Cooper, go to
Claudinecooper dot com right now and find out more.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
She joins me in the studio.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Claudie, we were talking last segment about the impact of
the fire see emotional sometimes physical impact on how people
approach their future health and wellness. They're still dealing with
it emotionally, they're still dealing with it physically and as
we get now we're on the doorstep of summer, I
would say, well, wellness, bring we're looking at summer. How
(08:17):
does that impact what you do? All these things put
together hmm.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
I will say that I feel very connected to people
who have gone through a lot of trauma, and going
through the fires is a trauma, and so I call
myself a trauma informed wellness professional. That just means that
I've been through some things, and if you've been through
(08:43):
some things, let's use these tools to help ourselves heal.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Do you find sometimes when people offer up about their
personal lives and you hear what firefighters were going through,
what other people were going through, that sometimes it's a
little too much for eving you.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
Oh, I definitely hit my max capacity by the end
of my work day. And my husband will tell you,
I come home and I just need like a moment
to well, let me.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Ask her to get your business when I walk in
the house. I my wife.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Knows even though when our schedules were more comparable. Yeah,
don't hit me with a bunch of questions because I've
been in the car probably for an hour an hour
and a half. I don't I'm not ready to have
a conversation yet. I'm not ready to have a conversation
when I first wake up, and I'm not ready to
have a conversation when I first walk in the door.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
How you doing, how was you day? Tell me about this,
what happened to what? No sometime? What's it like for you?
Speaker 3 (09:36):
As always, you and me were twins. Don't talk to
me when I wake up, don't.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
Talk to your But I don't have to say that
to my husband because he trained me years ago. You know,
he had a very stressful job as well, with a
long commute as well, and so he didn't want to
be bothered when he just got in the house, and
so we've kind of both honored that for each other.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Without getting into the specifics of what you're husband did
before retiring.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Was that something that he.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
In an emotional way, brought home and you had to
be that wellness professional for him as well?
Speaker 3 (10:15):
That's a good question.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
I know that's why they paid the little bucks, they
pay you the.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Big bucks, But.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
I I don't know that I would use my wellness
professional skills on my husband so much. But we definitely
have an understanding of how to engage with each other
when one.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Or the other of us is at our last rope.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
You know how that what you're talking about, you know
how only that all the married people can feel me
right now?
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Yes, do we have any questions in the in the
chat Carnegie? If not, I'll come back to you. Okay,
let me come back to you.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Then.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Of course you still have your your free Saturday workouts,
and I'm quite sure there heat up literally because as
the weather gets better, you have more and more people
coming out. Let's remind people how they can get their
workout on for free each and every Saturday.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
Well, I love that the weather does bring out more people.
But because of the weather, we also have other competing
events in the area where I teach the classes. So
this week we're doing a five k for veterans, so
that is going to compete. Say that, a five K
for veterans, so that's going to compete with my free workout.
(11:32):
But we're still having the workout and we're still having
the walk, so it'll be both at the same time.
And that's right near Sofi Stadium. It's called the Hollywood
Park Retail District. And I start my workout at nine
every Saturday.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
When I've gone the best place to park is just
enter off Prairie and ninety seven.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
Easy enter off Prairie in ninety seven, huge garage, huge
free parking, farmers Market's going to be going on that day.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
It's really a very easy in, easy out.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
But people over complicate things, especially if they've never been.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
And I've noticed that this is just a sidebar. Do
I have some time?
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Of course you do.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
So I've noticed this with people nowadays, even more so
than before.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
There's a lot of anxiety in the gym.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
And I didn't recognize that there was something called gim anxiety.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Have you heard of it much?
Speaker 6 (12:25):
No?
Speaker 4 (12:25):
I'm not.
Speaker 5 (12:26):
It did not, Okay, So this is a real thing,
and it is stemming from not knowing what to expect
when you get to the gym, not knowing who else
going to be there, not knowing the exact place to park.
So there's a lot of people suffering from gym anxiety,
(12:50):
and when they get to the gym, it doesn't stop there.
It goes into now what do I do now that
I'm at the gym?
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Do I live weights? Do I do cardio? Do I?
So this is.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
Something that fitness professionals are now being trained on learning
how to manage the people who have Jim anxiety.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I can imagine any level of uncertainty creates anxiety, and
I can imagine for any person who may not work
out consistently in a gym environment, you walk in, you
don't know anyone by and large, You don't know who's
going to be there, who you may run into, who
may look at you in a different ways, like, oh,
you're trying to work out. You don't know what type
(13:36):
of judgment or perceived judgment is awaiting you. And then
you don't know what people are going to think why
you're doing what you're doing. It's like, oh, that person
does I'm going to just talk about the things that
I've thought about as a grown ass man. It's like, Oh,
that he doesn't know what he's doing, he's not using
the weights correctly, or he's not going to get anything done.
Those are just my thoughts and I can only assume
extends beyond me.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
Well, the thing about anxiety is it has, at least
in my opinion having worked with the gyms over the
last thirty two years, anxiety overall has increased. And I
don't know what that is from, but I definitely know
I'm seeing it in younger people and I'm seeing it
(14:21):
more frequently, and you talked about parking for my workout.
I have someone who just came couldn't figure out the
parking situation, turned around left.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
I think more than just a few of us are
always looking for a reason to not even to leave.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
And that's totally I agree with that. That's totally understandable.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
And I think maybe Jim anxiety is also people who
don't really want to be at the gym anyway.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
That's true, you know, Yeah, so Clauding Cooper very quickly,
let's get her card up on screen again, Daniel, how
can people find you beyond Claudincooper dot com, your social
media and so forth.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
I guess Daniel just put up my email, but that's
an old number, so you're not going to reach me,
don't call me anyway.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
So I think I.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
Think he's putting up some videos right now of workouts
that I did with my friend Jacqueline over the pandemic.
I think he's just cruising through my YouTube, which I
do have a YouTube. I have social media TikTok, Instagram, Facebook,
although it's friends only, but you can send me a
friend request, so thank you.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
But they can always go to Claudiancooper dot com. Win
in Doubt, Win in doubt.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Yep, CLAUDIANU is always great to see you, and hopefully
you see you sometime soon in the future.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
You will whenever I can get out here.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
I'm here, all right. Then it's Later with mo Kelly.
When we come back.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
We're going to go from one extreme to the other
and talk about the worst fast food restaurants in America.
It might be a theme for that matter, the worst
fast food restaurants in America. And don't go anywhere because
we are still going to be giving away those Disney
on Ice into the Magic tickets for tomorrow night at
the Toyota Arena in Ontario.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI six and YouTube.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Don't forget we'll be giving away these Disney on Ice
tickets sometime tonight.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
But you gotta have the password.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
As a matter of fact, Hey, Daniel, why don't we
switch over to the other camera and see if people
can see what I see. To make sure that they
see what they need to see, Daniel switch over the camera.
If he switches over the camera, we'll give you the password.
All right, it's coming up in just a second, and
(16:32):
you'll need to know this word if and when you
call in to win the tickets to Disney on Ice.
Of course, we're having some technical difficulties right when it's needed.
I know they always say, hey, it's live radio. Stuff happens.
Stuff happens. But we'll come back to it in a second.
(16:54):
If you are wondering what are some of the worst
fast food restaurants in America, let me just give you
the top ten. And this is according to petsreporter dot com.
Why petsreporter dot com is talking about fast food, I
don't know, but it makes for good radio subject.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Coming in at number ten of the worst fast food
restaurants in America.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
And this is a compilation of Yelp reviews and complaints
and stories things of that nature. Here's number ten, Taco Bell,
or as we called it, Taco Hell. I can't disagree
with that, You'll Caro, what diarrhea. Just because you like
(17:36):
something Stefan doesn't mean that it's not horrible. That's not good.
We mean, well, you're gonna be gunning for Taco Bell, yeah,
because it's delicious. Tuala, I know, didn't you work at
Taco Bell? Yeah, you did, so you're not Taco Bell. Yeh,
goodness gracious.
Speaker 7 (17:55):
I did hear Taco Bell. And I don't know why
Taco Bell is on this list. I had Taco Bell yesterday. Okay,
are you feeling okay? I am, I'm fine. I haven't
been a Taco Bell in decades. You're seconds And the
only time I went was for the Mexican pizza. I
still have it to classic. They still have it. It's
still delicious, okay. And they have chicken nuggets.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Now, I'm not going to Taco Bell for chicken nuns.
Get out of here. Number nine.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
I disagree with this KFC. It may not be healthy
for you, but KFC is not one of the ten worst.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
No, it's fire too. Number eight.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
I could have sworn that they were out of business.
Long John Silver. I could have sworn that they were. No, definitely,
not a lot of them. But they're in the hood.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
They're around. Oh I know. I know they're in the hood,
but I'm saying I haven't seen them anywhere. Oh man,
you're missing out. Yeah, they still fish, fish and chips. Fire.
Speaker 8 (19:00):
You need a shower after you have it. No, it's
not all greasy. The fish it's not. Those flats are
juicy and tender and flaky.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
Number have you eaten one? In a way?
Speaker 6 (19:12):
Mo?
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Here's number seven, And I disagree with this because we
just had it recently.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
Number seven Domino's pizza. See okay, see list.
Speaker 8 (19:26):
This list is obviously written by a bunch of health
ultra health nuts people want to live. Yes, no, bunch
of hippies. Oh, because you didn't like Dominoes?
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Mark you sure? You're sure?
Speaker 8 (19:37):
You sure had a couple of slices there? Do you
want me to get into the Dominoes thing?
Speaker 4 (19:42):
No?
Speaker 8 (19:42):
Okay, all right, but he had it, liked it because
it's pizza, and that is our universal Achilles heel. We're
all gonna eat pizza. Yes, that is true.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Number six. This is not locally California. Crystal k R
y s T A L. I guess it's like White Castle.
I haven't had it, heard of it, I've heard of it,
I've never had it. Number five the worst fast food
restaurants in America.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Subway eat Fresh what? Really? Yeah? People are insane? Yeah?
Is this written by some animal lovers? Though?
Speaker 9 (20:21):
I don't know pets something pets reporter, you know what?
That that's actually code for peta. Okay, I see where
this list is gone. Number four, Wait to year number three.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
Number four missed the bowl Jangles. I've never had bot
Jangles before. I don't even know what that is. It's
a chicken rust. That's not one I heard of, but
I haven't been there.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Number three of the ten worst fast food restaurants in America.
It's so bad they listed it twice.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
Taco Bell in Hell. This list can burn a well deserved.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
It's so bad they said. Put them in at number three.
Hands like number ten.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
Wow. Number two Harry Queen, as we called it. I
don't mind Dairy Queen.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
I don't mind it, but I only get like the
ice cream stuff.
Speaker 8 (21:22):
I don't get the food. Yeah, I don't get the
food there. I don't think I've eaten in the Dairy
Queen as an adult. What is their specialty?
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Even?
Speaker 2 (21:29):
They have burgers, yeah, chicken fingers, But I don't get
stuff ice ice cream yeah yeah.
Speaker 8 (21:35):
When we went as kids, it was because Dennis the
Menace was their mascot and we didn't care about how
good the food was.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
And coming in and number one the worst fast food
in America, according to Petsreporter Dot com which is weird.
It's really weird. It's not weird at all. Propaganda that
makes sense. It comes number one, and I actually agree
(22:07):
with this. Arby's we have the meat.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
That's fair, right, Carnasie is like shaking her head. No, no, no,
Arby's is garbage. No lies told the garbage. That's probably
the most truthful one so far.
Speaker 7 (22:21):
If you see an Arby's, it usually has wood in
the windows for being shut down.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
And it's not in the top ten, but it should
be in the top ten talking about wood in the windows.
Churches fried chickens. Oh oh h church? Why church is
not that chicken? Okay, I just I got a few seconds,
so on the rust that's want to give you the
from twenty to ten with no fan fare. Number twenty
is Jimmy John's. Number nineteen is Hearty's. Eighteen is quiz Nos.

Director of Disney on Ice, Kyle James, and we'll talk
about Disney on Ice presenting Into the Magic at Toyota
Arena tomorrow night. So if you want to win these tickets,
you gotta go or be able to go tomorrow night.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
That's next.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from KFI.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
It's Later with Moe Kelly.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and YouTube, So
if you're on the go, take us with you. Host
Mickey Mouse and Mini Mouse bring audiences on an expedition
across raging seas, snow covered mountains, and the Marigold Bridge
in Disney on Ice presents Into the Magic. This extravaganza
features Disney's Moana, Frozen, Coco, and Beauty and the Beast,
(25:24):
with other beloved Disney characters playing the Toyota Arena in
Ontario starting tomorrow through Sunday. Right now, I'm happy to
be joined by Kyle James, performance director for.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
Disney on Ice. Kyle is good to talk to you.
How you doing, sir, I'm doing great. How are you?
Speaker 2 (25:39):
I'm doing well. I've been looking forward to this conversation.
Disney on Ice features skaters from literally around the world,
from Canada to Kazakhstan to even the Philippines.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
What is the audition and selection process?
Speaker 6 (25:54):
Like all the skaters that are interested in joining Disney
on Ice, they usually train and compete their whole life life,
and then when they're ready for something new, they send
in a video to our casting team and if anyone's
interested out there, all the information is on our website,
discoonnice dot com.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Does the show vary from city to city with moving
parts or is it consistent regardless of venue.
Speaker 6 (26:19):
It's consistent regardless of the venue. We try to put
our same consistent product out there.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
Each time.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
There is performance and there is preparation. What is the
training that the skaters employed beyond just the normal rehearsals. Yes,
they're skating all the time, but what type of maybe
physical workout routine do some skaters employ?
Speaker 6 (26:38):
Yeah, so every skater has their own physical workout plan
that works for them. A lot of people enjoy running outside.
Some people are always in the gym. It really is
just whatever their body is used to and how they've
trained their whole life.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
How long is this tour? What part are you in
this tour? Of course it's been going on all across
the country. But where are we in the tour?
Speaker 6 (27:02):
We are on week twenty nine of thirty, so we
may have this week and one more week left.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
As the performance director, do you sense at any point,
just person to person a level of fatigue Given that
you're week twenty nine out of thirty. How do you
maintain that same level of enthusiasm amongst the cast members
from week to week.
Speaker 6 (27:23):
Yeah, so everyone again as their own thing that works
for them. And I've learned each one of my performers
some need to pick me up, some just need you're
doing great, some need just to pat on the back,
and yeah, it's just always trying to keep the energy
up and keep them motivated.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
I know when I go to the theater, there's the
principal cast and you usually have understudies. Is it the
same for Disney on Ice where you'll have your principal cast,
but you have a selection of I don't want to
call them backup skaters, but understudies who could step in
at a moment's notice, someone maybe injured, someone maybe under
the weather.
Speaker 6 (27:58):
Yeah, we have our principal cast and then we have
plenty of talented under studies that are always ready to
go in at any time.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
How do they go about doing that? Now?
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Do you have the under studies who learn five or
six different parts or is it just one to one with.
Speaker 6 (28:14):
The Disney on ice. Everything is specific to the role,
So it's just if they have the look at how
what the casting team and Disney's looking for for that
individual role.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
When you are touring the country, I'm quite sure that
you may be surprised by something or you may see
something like, oh, so and so did something just a
little bit different or in an inflection in their voice,
or there was something they did that they hadn't done before.
Is that common or what types of things are emblematic
of that?
Speaker 6 (28:41):
Yeah, everyone brings their own personality to each of the characters.
That everyone tries to stick to the same like basics
of each character, but everyone makes it their own in
a little ways.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Does it very though from performance toformance, Knny, do you
see like, well James did a little bit something different tonight,
or he had a little more who has him tonight?
Speaker 4 (29:01):
Or he added an ad lib line? Does that happen?
Speaker 5 (29:04):
It?
Speaker 6 (29:04):
Does it here and there? But I feel like since
I watched so many shows that they all kind of
blend together.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Well, let's talk about since you're watching shows, how do
you run this as a performance director?
Speaker 4 (29:16):
Do you have the formal rehearsals.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Where you're saying five six seven, Hey, how does a
rehearsal go?
Speaker 6 (29:22):
Yeah, so we rehearse for almost two weeks down in
our headquarters in Florida, and then that's just when we
teach the whole show. We run the show, make it
show ready, and we get on the road. And then
throughout the tour I hold rehearsals when needed. And then
every show I watch and I take notes and I
go back and talk to the crew or the skaters,
whoever needs to fix with this what was wrong?
Speaker 4 (29:45):
As a performance director, let me stay right there.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
What is your barometer as far as a performance being
on par with what you expect, what Disney expects, and
what type of variance is there?
Speaker 4 (29:57):
I'm quite sure.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Not every performance is the same, not every crowd is
the same, the energy level is not the same. So
what are some of the cues and clues that you're
looking for.
Speaker 6 (30:08):
My job as a performance structor is just a whole
the integrity of the show as it was created by
the producers, and just making my own little touches on
it to keep it new and fun for everyone.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
It's live entertainment.
Speaker 6 (30:20):
I get things happen, but we always try to keep
it to our higher standard.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
Do you have any input?
Speaker 2 (30:27):
You said you work on the show for a good
two weeks before you go out on the road. What
is your level of input as far as putting that
show together or providing a vision that is being followed.
Speaker 6 (30:39):
It depends on the show. If it's like a brand
new show that I'm first the first person working on,
you have a lot of input.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
And then when it.
Speaker 6 (30:45):
Comes down the line and then I'm like, I don't
even know what number performance structure to work on this show,
but it all of us bring our own little thing
and have made our little touches all over the show.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
All right, with all that as a precursor, let's get
into a Disney on ice Presents Into the Magic. We're
gonna be giving away a family four pack to tomorrow's
show in Ontario at the Toyota Arena. What should our
winners and everyone else in attendance expect to see?
Speaker 6 (31:14):
Yeah, there you get to see six amazing stories we
have our Class six, like Cinderella and Beating the Beasts,
and some of our new favorites that everyone loves like Frozen, Muana, Cocoa,
Entangled and Yeah. Just it's a story that everyone gets
to enjoy and it's so much magic.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
All right.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Well, speaking of the magic, Kyle James, performance director for
Disney on Ice. Disney on Ice Presents Into the Magic
can be experienced at the Toyota Arena in Ontario through Sunday.
Kyle James, I want to thank you as my guest
coming on tonight. Thank you for all you do and
