[00:00:17] Speaker A: Welcome to Kendall Speaks. My name is Brian Stewart Kendall, campus president. And today we have a very special version of Kendall Speaks. For those of you who don't know, this is a podcast that we've been doing for about a year and a half here that focuses on students, faculty, and staff. And we've had close to 40 different podcasts. And today we thought we'd do it live here at the Kendall Frenchaw Plaza. So I'd first like to introduce our executive producer, Paul Klein, over here, tweaking the dials, his assistant and producer, Alex Bellows, and my head writer over here, Christina Saenz. So please come over, get some pie. We're going to interview the winners of our pie contest here in a minute. If you want to be interviewed, come up to the table here. We got a lot of people we want to talk to today, and the first person we want to talk to is Santa Claus. So, Santa Claus, come on up. All right, Santa, come sit down. Santa's a bit of a ham today. [00:01:22] Speaker B: What, there's no music to play me to the couch? [00:01:24] Speaker A: You want to sing Jingle Bells or something? [00:01:27] Speaker B: Only if everyone joins in. Are we ready? Ready. Jingle bells in a key of Christmas Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh Dashing through the snow and a one horse. Oh, that's enough. [00:01:54] Speaker A: That's enough singing for today. Santa, tell us what's going on in your world today. What do you have to do? Share with us? [00:01:59] Speaker B: Well, I want to share with all of our MDC community, our faculty, our staff, our students as well, that this is a season to be grateful. But it's also a season to be giving. And there's an opportunity for all of us to be doing that as we begin today. The MDC Miami Dade College Candle Holiday Toy Drive. Yes, we are partnering with the Marine Corps Toys for Tots to collect new and unwrapped toys for families and children in our own community who are in need and who may otherwise not have a very happy Christmas. [00:02:46] Speaker A: So, Santa, where do we put those toys and things we bring? [00:02:49] Speaker B: So all of you who want to donate, and I do encourage you all, reach into your heart and find a little something to give. The collection boxes are located in three places on campus in Building 2, the Learning Commons. Anybody here from Learning Resources? [00:03:12] Speaker A: Learning resource over here, Serving pie. [00:03:14] Speaker B: So on the first floor computer courtyard and the second floor in the library, you will find collection boxes waiting for you. Just leave your gifts right there in the box. But also Building R. In the lobby of building R, you will also find a donation box. Just leave your new and unwrapped gifts there for children ages 2 to 12. And you can donate beginning today until December 17th. That's more than a month. So when you're out shopping and getting those doorbuster deals, pick up one little extra something to share with our community. Thank you, everyone.

If you hosted Thanksgiving for your team, who would you treat to cook? [00:04:22] Speaker C: I would definitely have to pick Suhay. Cause she's typically always cooking for her family, every weekly, every day. So she'll be the person that I will choose. [00:04:34] Speaker A: And where are you going to celebrate Thanksgiving this year? [00:04:37] Speaker C: At home. At home. I'm from the island, so my mom usually cook oxtails, peas and rice, Mac and cheese. We have it all. Different types of sort of meats. [00:04:48] Speaker A: Okay, well, that's very good. What's your favorite thing about Thanksgiving? [00:04:51] Speaker C: I'm being with my family. And, you know, I'm grateful to be able to still experience that with all my loved ones and my son and everyone. And I'm just grateful for my health, you know. [00:05:01] Speaker A: Well, we thank you for being on Kendall Speaks today, and we thank for all you do in HR because without you, we'd be in trouble. So thank you for everything. All right, bye.

I'm very excited because we've had so many opportunities to really bond as a team and make very, like, big impacts on the campus and the college itself. SG has been able to participate in the opening of the Freedom Tower and so many other, like, monumental things for the college. So it's been an amazing opportunity, for sure.

I don't know, I think if I had to pick one, it would probably be Miguel. [00:06:43] Speaker A: Oh, Miguel for sure. You gonna defend yourself on that in a minute. [00:06:47] Speaker D: But yeah, we, I mean we all love like we're big foodies. So it just depends on what we're eating. [00:06:52] Speaker A: Well, thank you, Knife, your leadership and.

Okay. I think one of the most embarrassing moments that I've had on campus had to be my fall semester for my freshman year. So that was last year. And I didn't know where my classes were, and by the time that I got my schedule, I didn't really know all the buildings. So I went to building R, and I was trying to look at all the classroom numbers and trying to figure out, oh, if my class is here or there. And I wasn't looking where I was going, and I was going down the stairs, so I ended up tumbling down the stairs into the next platform. Yeah, yeah, nothing happened. Nothing happened. I didn't break anything. And thank God nobody was there to watch me. But I did have my book bag on me, so I felt everything in my. My back, it hurt. But I'm good now. I know where my buildings are. [00:13:16] Speaker A: Yeah. And you make it to class on time now? [00:13:17] Speaker G: Yes, of course. [00:13:18] Speaker A: All right, tell us your major again.

[00:13:34] Speaker F: All right. [00:13:35] Speaker A: All right. Michael, how we doing? So tell me about the pie eating contest first. [00:13:41] Speaker G: Oh, no, that was tough. That was tough. It was way too difficult. I can't finish that pie by myself. [00:13:47] Speaker A: What'd you eat? What pie? [00:13:48] Speaker G: Just regular pumpkin pie. That one was impossible. [00:13:51] Speaker F: All right. [00:13:51] Speaker G: I don't know how I'm not vomiting right now. [00:13:53] Speaker A: Oh, let's don't do that. So tell us what song that should be played at a campus event that you like to hear. [00:14:00] Speaker G: Well, I mean, I would pick different music depending on the kind of event, but, like, let's say if it's, like, an active event, you know, you want people to be up dancing. I really like. I mean, hype music. I would say Can't Tell Me Nothing by Kanye West. That one really pumps me up a lot. So I say, can't Tell Me nothing. Kanye West. [00:14:22] Speaker A: All right, what are your Thanksgiving plans? Do you know yet? [00:14:25] Speaker G: No. I mean, I've been hearing things up in the air. Nothing really confirmed, but I just want to spend it, you know, with people that I love and that I appreciate, the people that I'm thankful for. [00:14:34] Speaker A: That's right. That's right. All right, that's good. And maybe do a little study and get ready for finals. Right? [00:14:39] Speaker G: Yeah, of course.

Maybe we need to have a competition with that sometime. [00:15:43] Speaker H: That's an excellent idea. I would love to be a judge. [00:15:46] Speaker A: And then one more question.

My wife yelled at me because I was on a ride watching you guys whoop the sleep, you know what. Out of our nemesis down there. So, coach, tell us how it feels to win, be state champions. [00:22:51] Speaker C: Definitely feels good because we missed it for the last three years, especially beating Florida Southwestern. [00:22:57] Speaker A: Yeah. On that. And now you, young lady. You probably don't get to listen to the broadcast, but you ought to go back and listen to it. I think you were 25 out of 25 in a row. Is that right? That's what the announcer was saying. You hit 25 points in a row. [00:23:15] Speaker C: Stephen will be. [00:23:16] Speaker A: No, no, I don't. I don't Think that's right. But no, she was, she was definitely stellar this weekend. Well, they said you. I forgot how they said it, but that you didn't make an error for quite a while. So you should listen to the broadcast. [00:23:27] Speaker D: Okay, I'll definitely give it a listen. [00:23:28] Speaker B: Dr. Stewart's right. [00:23:29] Speaker F: He started the game off eight for eight, something like that. [00:23:32] Speaker A: So yeah. So what did you girls think about beating them? You think you got, you think you're in their head now you got them going forward because we're gonna see him again, aren't we? [00:23:40] Speaker D: It was just a really exciting experience, especially taking down like our biggest rival. [00:23:45] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:23:45] Speaker D: So we basically knocked down the first two steps and we're missing the biggest one. So we're going in stronger than ever because we know that they're going to come back stronger than ever to beat us. [00:23:54] Speaker A: And you beat them in their home, right? You beat them in their home? [00:23:57] Speaker D: Oh, yeah, twice. [00:23:58] Speaker A: Twice. Let's give him a round applause for that and then talk. Oh, look at these medals, guys. Those, I just saw those. And then tell me what happened on Sunday. Who do we play on Sunday for district. [00:24:10] Speaker F: So on Sunday we took on Andrew College who was the runner up of Region 10. [00:24:14] Speaker A: And you know, we, the girls took. [00:24:16] Speaker F: Care of them, you know, fairly quick. [00:24:18] Speaker A: So yeah, it was three straight. [00:24:19] Speaker F: They punched their ticket to nationals. [00:24:21] Speaker A: Yeah. Our college president was anxiously awaiting me to text the results and I waited till the all three get were over. She goes, what took so long? I said, well, it didn't take long. You guys took it to him. Coach Kiko, what talk about going to nationals. What are our game plan?

And the plan is just follow instruction and do what we always been doing, playing hard.
