35:00

The healing power of fitness goes far beyond physical benefits—for today’s guest, it’s a form of self-expression and a celebration of what the body can do. In this episode, host Nora McInerny sits down with fitness personality Ivylis Rivera, who shares her deeply personal journey of navigating life with Chronic Migraine while holding onto her passion for movement. Ivylis opens up about the struggle of staying active while facing the fear of triggering a headache or migraine attack and the resilience it takes to keep pushing forward—a resilience that carried her through the challenging journey of finding a Chronic Migraine treatment plan that worked for her. Join Nora and Ivylis as they explore the concept of “soft living,” a philosophy Ivylis embraces—staying active, listening to your body, and building trust in oneself.

Lucas Tanner spent 7 years with Collegiate's class of 1983, and then went to Italy for a few years. When he returned, he was "bloomed" (his word) and was suddenly a member of the class of 1984. He is therefore "a hybrid member" (also his words) like Karl Slovin, who has been mentioned on this podcast before. Two apologies are given during this episode—both over 40 years late—and at least one is accepted. Lucas Tanner is "fantastic indeed."

RANDY WEINER: Breaking Rules Big & Small 39:02

16 weeks ago39:02

39:02

Randy Weiner gave very few hints during his time at The Collegiate School for Boys that he would go on to become an award-winning playwright and producer, much less the owner of an exclusive nightclub! His classmates just figured he would go to medical school and become a doctor. Because even he thought that's what he was going to do! Host Taylor Mali talks with Randy about his journey, the influence of his father, his 43-year relationship with his wife Diane Paulus, his memorable older brother Scott, and more! Cue this up and go walk your dog because this one is a good one!

Chances are Ray Flores would have taken a different path in life if things had been different. But chances are that's true for everyone. I had a wonderful talk with the guy who should have won "Most Likely to End Up in HR." Collegiate School's official reunion is this Friday, May 3rd, 2024, which means our epic reunion was almost one year ago! To RSVP to the school's festivities, click here . I will send out the Zoom link for our reunion (aka "Nightcap with The Capper") next week via email.

JAMIE WATTS: Teetering on the Cusp 28:20

28:20

For this first episode of the second season of '83 Dutchmen, host Taylor Mali speaks to commercial photographer Jamie Watts about being the absolute youngest member of the class of 1983 and the affect that had on how actively he participated in his own life at school. Would it have been better for Jamie to have been the oldest member of the class of 1984? The jury is out. Taylor and Jamie talk about Terror's Group, a small, informal, and short-lived club born out of a general sense of not feeling that you fit in. They discuss whether the term "outsider" is really the right word for those internal feelings of not belonging to a group that you otherwise appear outwardly to be a part of. Together they sift through the detritus of memory to decide what is not worth saving (because it's not important) and what is (because it is)!

TAYLOR MALI: Today I will have outlived my parents (if I am still alive when this posts). 1:02:54

August 6th of this year (2023) is the exact day that '83 Dutchmen host Taylor Mali will have outlived his mother by one day and his father by 30. He is on vacation right now, likely without reliable wifi, but he scheduled this podcast to post automatically. Mali says "This is a collection of audio postcards I recorded over the course of seven months and containing the artful observations and poignant—if sometimes lugubrious —musings of a poet. Because I am also a poet, in case you were not aware of that." —updated Wednesday, July 26, 2023.

In this final episode of the series before the fiscal year of Collegiate ends on Friday, June 30th, Taylor talks with Thaddeus Bereday , who left after 7th grade but says we did a much better job of celebrating our 40th reunion then the school he actually graduated from (suck it, Groton Academy)! Thad speaks eloquently about his successes, struggles, failures, and the importance of mercy, second chances, compassion, and reform.

VOICE MEMO-ries from the CLASS OF 1983 45:36

2 years ago45:36

45:36

After the 40th reunion, which was spectacularly held on May 5th, class agent Taylor Mali asked everyone in the class—whether they made it to the reunion or not—to send him a voice memo about their experience of the reunion, their experience with the podcast series, or just . . . their experience of their life. This episode is all those voice memos stitched together, including some cameo appearances by surprise guests. The format is completely different, and it might be the best episode yet. The fiscal year ends on June 30th. Please make a gift if you'd like to be a part of what is already a record-breaking year.

KARL SLOVIN: With High Honors 22:07

2 years ago22:07

22:07

I stayed for my friends and then hid from them. Karl Slovin recounts the stigma of being "held back" by Collegiate and asked to join the class of 1984. And how his parents—on the verge of divorcing themselves—gave him the choice of staying and repeating fourth grade or starting over at a new school (when he wishes that they'd just made the decision for him). In theory he stayed to be with his friends, but in practice the embarrassment of suddenly being a member of the class "behind" meant that he didn't want any of us to see him in the hallways so he avoided us. And he carried that shame for years. Later in the episode, Taylor excavates his generational relationship with Judaism. This episode was put together using voice memos; the next episode will be ALL voice memos.

In this final episode of the series—at least before our 40th reunion, which is tomorrow, Friday, May 5th—Taylor speaks with Adam Mansky who has gone on to do great things despite a self-described lonely, unhappy, and underwhelming experience at Collegiate in high school. For reasons you will discover, we met online and recorded our interview twice, and even that was not enough. There will be one Mystery Episode of this series which will appear on August 6th with absolutely no fanfare whatsoever.

Remembering MICHAEL CHALFIN 6:28

6:28

I've had a wonderful time over the last couple weeks trading memories of Michael Chalfin with his widow Sharon Jacobs. Mike was so quiet and so decent, and yet so fearless in goal for The Warriors, our gym hockey team (two-time winners of The Mink Cup)! Peter Allan was with him at Middlebury College, but they didn't run in the same circles. Sharon says Tim White was the only Collegiate classmate she thinks she met. She shared a few minutes of news about Mike's life with me, and I am happy to pass it on.

Taylor spoke with Mark's older sister Lynette Tompkins Engel (Brearley 1980) over Zoom last week, and if you have the chance you should watch this 40-minute video here . If audio is more convenient, proceed knowing that you’ll miss some slides, some clarifying captions, and about 90 seconds of amazing high school basketball highlights at the end. Mark, we will miss you when we gather for our 40th reunion on May 5th!

ANDREW KIMBALL: The LeBron James of Economic Development 53:09

53:09

Although Andrew Kimball is one of the youngest of the Baby Boomer generation (born in 1964), he was one of the oldest in our class. And he says that may have been the beginning of not knowing where he fit in. A self-described "late bloomer," he has nevertheless done pretty well for himself, rising to be the President and CEO of the New York City Economic Development Corporation, traveling all over the world shilling for New York City business opportunities. Andrew talks eloquently about coping with dyslexia and all manner of successes and failures.

ANTONIO ROMERO: The Ultimate Outlier 52:48

2 years ago52:48

52:48

On the page in the yearbook called "Sanctioned Insults," which was supposed to be filled with light-hearted jibes about the graduating seniors, the Dream/Reality written for Antonio Romero was DREAM: systems analyst REALITY: systems analyst. That may seem prophetic for a guy who wrote his first line of code when Gerald Ford was President and has spent more of his life in the tech industry than he ever intended, but Taylor Mali's conversation with Antonio will reveal just how piercing it actually was. IMPORTANT FACT: Antonio accepted an offer to attend MIT, but then reneged and went to Princeton instead at the urging of Bruce Breimer, the college guidance councilor (who would have then had to explain himself to MIT)! That was one of many interventions that tried (in vain?) to offer Antonio the option to pursue ANY of his myriad other passions.

PETER ALLAN: Dancing on the Lip of the Volcano 1:04:05

1:04:05

No one in our class was more impacted by the popularity of Studio 54 in the early 1980s than Peter Allan , who says he partied all night and came to school for his 8:30 class "more than once, but less than 10 times." It's a miracle he survived (if, in fact, he did)! Again and again, he seems to have taken away the completely wrong message from certain events and experiences—sometimes actively seeking them out!—and yet he has managed to live a pretty successful—some might say charmed —life. He's a great example of a guy who started to blossom into his adult self after he left Collegiate. Consequently, Taylor Mali is almost startled at the level of humility, honesty, reflection, and humor that Peter brings to this amazing interview. Alternate titles for this episode included "Buffalo Cookies," "Shimmy-Shimmy," and "PETER ALLAN: Unrealistically Confident." Click here to see Peter speaking in 2007 at the memorial service of his stepfather, Arthur Schlesinger Jr. (go to 57:55, right before Bill Clinton)!

NICK GLASS: Smile & Bounce 56:38

56:38

NICK GLASS wants to know if a 7th or 8th grader would be allowed to go to Florida with a friend and no adults to stay in a hotel and go to Spring Training games? Nick seems to think he and David Goldberg did just that in the late 1970s when they were middle schoolers at The Collegiate School. And he’s got other questions, too. Did Tony Marr fall through a sidewalk grate next to the red door in first grade? Did Mr. Ataliadas (spelling??) drag students by their ear? Was our 7th or 8th grade baseball coach really David Duchovny? Nick Glass is one of those guys who didn’t graduate with the rest of us in 1983, but I love talking to guys like that who left.
