Olympic figure skater Tai Babilonia and her skating partner Randy Gardner rapidly ascended figure skating's ranks to become World Champions in 1979. They were favorites at the 1980 Olympics, but an injury ended their dream of a medal. For our series Mixed! Stories of Mixed Race Californians, co-hosts Sasha Khokha and Marisa Lagos spoke to Babilonia about growing up in a mixed race family in the 1960s and the racism and exotification she faced as an athlete and public figure. And we have an update on a family we've been following. In 2019, José Luis Ruiz Arévalos left his wife and kids in the Central Valley to apply for his green card in Mexico, but he ended up separated from them for almost four years. He got caught up in changes the Trump administration made to the questions consulate officials ask people trying to become legal residents. Last month, José was finally able to return home, but as Edsource Reporter Zaidee Stavely tells us, his forced absence changed the course of his children's lives.

How fun to sit down with a young old friend and catch up after a long pandemic pause. Olympian, Tai Babilonia, is as beautiful, luminescent, gracious, inspiring, perseverant, focused, and fun as she ever was. The World Figure Skating Champion, and 5x U.S. Figure Skating Champion, was as fearless in retelling milestones in her life as she was living them. From great triumphs to heartbreaks, big and small, Tai's acceptance of her lot, no matter what, no doubt helped carry her from one victory to the next. Her gratitude for her good fortune, her love, and respect for her parents, her brother, and her son are admirable and enviable. We talked about Tai's journey on the ice––thank God for Mabel Fairbanks who took a very young Tai and forced her hand into Randy Gardners––beautiful story there bookmarked with the pages being written with loving care, overseen by Tai and Randy to honor her. From the '76 Olympics to the 5 US Championships, to being only the 2nd Americans to win the World Championship, to the nightmare that ended their Olympic dreams in '80, starring in the Ice Capades and working feverishly in the years following… the toll it took, the drinking, the bottom, sobriety, back out there, more drinking, her marriage, her beloved son, her engagement to David Brenner, insights there into her and him, two stories - Bill Cosby and Chris Botti, and the strength in her sobriety that stuck, a show at the forum that led to coaching Jack Nicholson's daughter and then Denzel's. No name dropper she, this is all just part of her glamorous story. There's so much humanity, and hard truth here to balance it. Conversing with Tai feels like coming home… comfortable, effortless, warm, and affectionate. I loved every second.

Tai Babilonia talks about the moment of youthful inspiration that launched her figure-skating career, the day she met long-time partner Randy Gardner, how it felt to be in the zone, the burdens of teenage fame, and the injury at the 1980 Winter Olympics that broke her heart.

Tai Babilonia and Randy Gardner join us to talk skating and shocking revelations, recovery and their life-long bond.

I love surprises. I’m not sure I’ve ever been more thrillingly unprepared for the fabulousness that was about to unfold. Fleaxatarian (he ‘splains), actorvist, Esai Morales, is a revelation. I knew I adored his work from Bad Boys, La Bamba, NYPD Blue, to Ozark, with so much fineness in between… but it’s the man––the human––the passionate, quite brilliant, committed, inspiring, humble, real, self-aware, loving, sensitive soul, who blew me away. For 2 hrs and 16 min, Esai was spellbindingly entertaining, informative, enlightening, and gottdamned exciting, I don’t need to mention easy on the eyes… isn’t it just a ridiculous given? For the first 30 minutes we’re mostly in a Facebook Live blur, and for another 3 minutes or so, the audio is compromised as we were firsting with our brand spanking new Blue Raspberry mic, and didn’t quite know how to set it. Sorry about that, chief. The remaining hour and 50 min are as smooth as Easi. He's so worth struggling through the first 30 for. We talked growing up in Brooklyn, the Bronx, his union activist mother setting the stage; starting out as a Mexican Jumping Bean, to The Sound of Music, The High School of Performing Arts, managing a building for free rent, scraping pennies, to co-starring with Sean Penn in Bad Boys and going to the movies with him, watching him see himself on the big screen in Fast Times at Ridgemont High; being wanted to play Ritchie Valens, but choosing to play Bob. Loving him, and all of his characters, finding the good, the humanity, their worth, even drug kingpin, Del in Ozark––a role he earned the hard way, working for it. What an inspiring story that is. We talked a little politics (go Marianne Williamson!), vaccines, Alzheimer’s, John Lennon, The Beatles, our friend Mitch Weissman, the original fake Paul in Beatlemania, who, Esai promised to come sing Beatles with at Women Who Write. There were nods to Lance Simmens, Tai Babilonia, Liberty Devitto, Candy Clark, Burt Young… we talked faith, and Esai’s proclamation: “Don’t let failure define you, let it refine you.” How I love that. And him. When he did his 4 Hispanic Hs, and the lines which separate Chicano from Nuyorican-well, it’s a blast. I loved every second, even if he isn’t the Esai who matched with me on Tinder 4 yrs ago… that story too. I could have sat there for another 2 hrs, and still have begged for more. We still talking Game Changers? I digress.. we did quite a bit of that as well. Above all that, come for the fun, the tears, the love. So much of all of the above.
