- 0:00Speaker 1: All right, friends, here we go. Wrapping up the week,
- 0:02Speaker 1: the app to show podcast. How you doing? You're doing good.
- 0:06Speaker 1: I hope everything is good in your world. Everything is
- 0:08Speaker 1: good in mine. Another week down, another successful week. I mean, listen,
- 0:13Speaker 1: every day is a gift. That's the way you got
- 0:15Speaker 1: to look at it. I saw a reel the other
- 0:16Speaker 1: day that said it was a guy saying to a girl,
- 0:19Speaker 1: he said, if I gave you a check for $ 10 million,
- 0:23Speaker 1: would you take it? She said, yes. He said, okay.
- 0:26Speaker 1: If I gave you a check for $ 10 million but
- 0:29Speaker 1: you die tomorrow, would you take it? And she said no.
- 0:33Speaker 1: And he said, well, that means that today is worth
- 0:38Speaker 1: at least $ 10 million. So enjoy it and be positive.
- 0:41Speaker 1: I was like, whoa. See, it's all about perspective, man.
- 0:44Speaker 1: That's what it's all about. Anyway, going to be a
- 0:46Speaker 1: great weekend. Comics come home. I'll be there with my wife, Jen.
- 0:48Speaker 1: I can't wait. Parents night out. Mom and dad night out.
- 0:52Speaker 1: Without the kids. We have a hotel room. We have
- 0:54Speaker 1: a dinner reservation tonight. We're going to leave in the afternoon.
- 0:56Speaker 1: We might hit the snow port, even though, you know,
- 0:59Speaker 1: the weather's not going to be great. We'll go down
- 1:00Speaker 1: to the seaport. Snow port opens today. So that'll be cool.
- 1:04Speaker 1: I haven't been before. I say I'm going to go
- 1:06Speaker 1: every single year. I know my wife loves shopping. So
- 1:08Speaker 1: we'll hit that. If you're going to Columbus, come home.
- 1:10Speaker 1: Make sure you track us down. I know it's a
- 1:13Speaker 1: big venue, the TD Garden, but. If we're there, then
- 1:17Speaker 1: say hi.
- 1:17Speaker 2: Justin, it's Mo. My husband Matt and I are going
- 1:19Speaker 2: to Comics Come Home.
- 1:20Speaker 1: On Saturday like you and Jen. Date night.
- 1:24Speaker 2: I can't wait. We go to the show just like
- 1:27Speaker 2: you guys.
- 1:28Speaker 1: We've gone for the past 12 years.
- 1:29Speaker 3: It's always so awesome.
- 1:32Speaker 2: Bobby Kelly is our favorite.
- 1:33Speaker 1: Always has been. Fucking hilarious.
- 1:37Speaker 2: I hope that I see you there.
- 1:38Speaker 1: Then you can meet my hubby because he hears about you.
- 1:41Speaker 2: All the time. Aw. Love you.
- 1:44Speaker 1: Aw, love you too, Mo. I'd be happy to say hello.
- 1:47Speaker 1: I don't know where you're seated. We are on the floor.
- 1:50Speaker 1: I think we're in the 11th row. So if you're
- 1:52Speaker 1: around that area, make sure you say hello. So it's
- 1:56Speaker 1: going to be a fantastic performance. 30 years. Dennis Larry,
- 1:59Speaker 1: Jimmy Fallon, Ray Romano, John Mulaney. Crazy, crazy, crazy. I'm
- 2:03Speaker 1: more excited about spending time with my wife, honestly. It's like, God,
- 2:07Speaker 1: it's so hard, man. Having kids and finding the time
- 2:11Speaker 1: to spend together. Because you can't have adult conversations when
- 2:16Speaker 1: the kids are around. And because of the schedules, I
- 2:18Speaker 1: mean I go to bed at 7.30. Like I get
- 2:20Speaker 1: in bed at 7.30. So we don't stay up and
- 2:23Speaker 1: watch TV together, none of that stuff. So these moments
- 2:26Speaker 1: are very important for us. Okay, what else? Let's wrap
- 2:30Speaker 1: this up here. Voice of Logan went fantastic yesterday. That
- 2:34Speaker 1: kid is everywhere, man. Chris Denisi, congratulations. Talk about becoming
- 2:37Speaker 1: a star overnight. He was everywhere. How about the Bruins
- 2:42Speaker 1: reaching out to me yesterday? The owner of the Bruins
- 2:45Speaker 1: heard him on our show, saw him on the news,
- 2:47Speaker 1: and wanted his contact info to invite him to a game.
- 2:51Speaker 1: How cool is that? And I said they should invite
- 2:54Speaker 1: him to Comics Come Home tomorrow night. I mean, Jimmy Fallon,
- 2:57Speaker 1: he covered the voice of Logan. It would make sense.
- 2:59Speaker 1: Dennis Larry, Boston guy. Bring them out on stage. I
- 3:02Speaker 1: don't know. Hey, Justin.
- 3:04Speaker 2: Great job on The Voice of Logan.
- 3:05Speaker 1: I know it was stressing you out, but you did
- 3:07Speaker 1: so good.
- 3:08Speaker 2: Just wanted to give you props.
- 3:10Speaker 3: Yay. Love you guys.
- 3:12Speaker 1: Thank you very much, Angela. I appreciate that. It was
- 3:14Speaker 1: a lot of work from all of us. Eight weeks
- 3:17Speaker 1: of work, and it's over. And I feel like, wow,
- 3:19Speaker 1: like a sigh of relief, but also some happiness, you know,
- 3:23Speaker 1: that I was a part of that.
- 3:24Speaker 2: I loved The Voice of Boston. You did a phenomenal job.
- 3:29Speaker 2: And before I listened to the after show, I was thinking, boy,
- 3:32Speaker 2: you deserve a bonus. You did such a great job.
- 3:36Speaker 2: So I guess you did get a little bit of
- 3:38Speaker 2: a bonus. Congratulations, Justin.
- 3:41Speaker 1: Thank you very much. I was paid for that. I
- 3:45Speaker 1: did get an endorsement fee for doing it. And I
- 3:49Speaker 1: don't know. We are getting a bonus, though. We were
- 3:51Speaker 1: number one for the second quarter in a row. That's
- 3:55Speaker 1: people 25 to 54, which is our number one demo.
- 3:59Speaker 1: That's all men and women aged 25 to 54. That's
- 4:02Speaker 1: the moneymaker demo. You want to be tops in that.
- 4:05Speaker 1: And we've been number one for the past six months.
- 4:08Speaker 1: So last quarter, which would have been over in the spring, right?
- 4:13Speaker 1: The spring book, we were number one. We beat every
- 4:16Speaker 1: other station and we got our bonus, which is cool
- 4:18Speaker 1: for me because You know, in contract negotiations, this is
- 4:22Speaker 1: what that's what the companies do, right, is they don't
- 4:25Speaker 1: want to give you the extra money in salary. They
- 4:27Speaker 1: want to give it to you in bonuses because there's
- 4:29Speaker 1: a chance you won't hit your bonuses. There's a good
- 4:31Speaker 1: chance you won't, you know, so they kind of promise
- 4:33Speaker 1: you all of this extra money in bonuses. But then
- 4:36Speaker 1: it feels good when you hit it. So we hit
- 4:39Speaker 1: it for the first time since becoming the Billy and
- 4:42Speaker 1: Lisa show. Isn't that amazing? We've always kind of been
- 4:45Speaker 1: up at the top, second, third, somewhere around there, fourth,
- 4:49Speaker 1: fifth sometimes. It's hard. It's a hard competitive market. But
- 4:55Speaker 1: the spring, we hit number one, and then we hit
- 4:58Speaker 1: it again for the summer. I couldn't believe it. We're checking,
- 5:03Speaker 1: and the boss is texting us, and he's like, you
- 5:05Speaker 1: guys are going to do it again. You're on fire.
- 5:08Speaker 1: Number one show in the city. So that's the bonus.
- 5:10Speaker 1: That'll be in our paycheck, my paycheck next week. So
- 5:13Speaker 1: that's going to be good. And again, it's like, you know,
- 5:16Speaker 1: when the contract negotiations are like, well, we're going to
- 5:18Speaker 1: give you more money in your bonus, not your salary.
- 5:20Speaker 1: And you're like, I know, but we haven't hit a bonus.
- 5:22Speaker 1: Like that was the big thing when I got hired
- 5:24Speaker 1: on the Maddie show. Right. So I got hired in
- 5:27Speaker 1: 2015 or 2016 and I was making no money. But
- 5:30Speaker 1: then they offered me a bonus of a thousand dollars
- 5:34Speaker 1: if we hit bonus. And at that time, Maddie was
- 5:36Speaker 1: hitting it every like literally four times a year. So
- 5:38Speaker 1: they were like, that's an extra $ 4, 000 a year, which
- 5:41Speaker 1: to me was a lot of money. I didn't know
- 5:42Speaker 1: what I didn't know. And so I took it. And
- 5:45Speaker 1: then as time went on, that's just gone up and
- 5:47Speaker 1: up and up. But Maddie didn't hit a bonus. That
- 5:49Speaker 1: stopped like in 2018, 2019. The last few years, we
- 5:54Speaker 1: did not hit bonuses ever. Like we weren't number one
- 5:56Speaker 1: at all. So it's been a long time. And I'm
- 6:00Speaker 1: very grateful to be a part of this show, this program.
- 6:03Speaker 1: I put my heart and soul into it. I really do.
- 6:05Speaker 1: You best believe it.
- 6:07Speaker 3: All right.
- 6:07Speaker 1: I'm almost out of here. I got to get a
- 6:08Speaker 1: haircut for the big weekend. What else we got? I
- 6:10Speaker 1: think I got one more talk back here.
- 6:12Speaker 3: Hey, Justin, just a few technical questions about the show.
- 6:16Speaker 3: What software or program do you guys use to edit
- 6:19Speaker 3: the audio during the live show? And when you upload
- 6:24Speaker 3: the podcast, do you do any editing to the audio
- 6:27Speaker 3: to make it like sound better or do you just
- 6:29Speaker 3: throw it up as is? Thanks.
- 6:31Speaker 1: Well, let's nerd out, shall we? I love these questions
- 6:34Speaker 1: behind the scenes.
- 6:35Speaker 3: I know.
- 6:36Speaker 1: Most people won't care or know what we're talking about.
- 6:39Speaker 1: But I'd use Adobe Audition as the editing software that
- 6:42Speaker 1: I use. I've always used that. I could use Pro
- 6:45Speaker 1: Tools or something else, which is way more advanced. I
- 6:47Speaker 1: just find that Audition is very simple and does what
- 6:51Speaker 1: I need it to do. It has everything I need.
- 6:53Speaker 1: So I use Adobe Audition. I am editing all morning long.
- 6:58Speaker 1: I'm editing live while we're on the air. I'm pulling
- 7:00Speaker 1: sound and rolling sound into our system, taking it out
- 7:03Speaker 1: of our system. And yeah, editing. And then as far
- 7:06Speaker 1: as the podcast goes, I do process the audio.
- 7:08Speaker 3: We do.
- 7:11Speaker 1: But when you process the audio, it basically is for
- 7:13Speaker 1: the podcast especially because we're talking, playing sound. I'm playing
- 7:18Speaker 1: sound from my studio, which is a different studio that
- 7:21Speaker 1: goes all together. So there's different levels and different volumes.
- 7:25Speaker 1: So once the podcast is done, Riley will process the
- 7:30Speaker 1: audio to kind of even it out. So when you're listening,
- 7:32Speaker 1: especially on your headphones– you know, the clip won't jolt you,
- 7:35Speaker 1: you know, because that's what was happening is you'll be
- 7:38Speaker 1: listening and all of a sudden sound clip will play
- 7:40Speaker 1: a song clip so loud, like much louder than like
- 7:43Speaker 1: us talking. So yes, we do process the audio. I
- 7:46Speaker 1: do process most audio that gets played. Although the air
- 7:51Speaker 1: that the kiss went away air has a processor on it.
- 7:55Speaker 1: So it's already getting processed when it goes onto the air.
- 7:58Speaker 1: But again, you know, if I play us a piece
- 8:01Speaker 1: of sound that's really hot, meaning loud, then it's going
- 8:04Speaker 1: to be louder when you listen, especially in your headphones.
- 8:06Speaker 1: That was a big issue. So yeah, that's what I do.
- 8:10Speaker 1: I'm the audio king, as they say. I'm constantly, that's
- 8:14Speaker 1: what I do. From the moment I get in, I
- 8:16Speaker 1: am pulling sound. I am organizing sound. That's how I
- 8:19Speaker 1: find clips so fast. You ever hear the sweeper that
- 8:21Speaker 1: plays that says, I don't know how Justin finds those
- 8:23Speaker 1: audio clips so fast. I just have it stored in
- 8:26Speaker 1: a system that I know where it is. So once
- 8:30Speaker 1: I get the thought of something, I know how to
- 8:32Speaker 1: find it in one second. And I could show you
- 8:34Speaker 1: in person if you were here. Just know that it
- 8:37Speaker 1: comes down to the labeling of the audio. The way
- 8:40Speaker 1: that I label it allows me to find it very quickly.
- 8:42Speaker 1: So I can find any song that you want, any
- 8:46Speaker 1: funny clip. I have it stored a certain way. You
- 8:49Speaker 1: know what I mean? So things that are, say, songs
- 8:53Speaker 1: are listed as songs or health is listed as H-E.
- 8:57Speaker 1: I know this sounds crazy. weather-related clips, W-E. So it's
- 9:03Speaker 1: a fast way for me to find it, and I
- 9:06Speaker 1: believe that that feature of the show gives us an
- 9:10Speaker 1: advantage compared to other shows. That's just how I feel
- 9:14Speaker 1: about it. I'm very proud of that. And sometimes it
- 9:17Speaker 1: gets me in trouble. So anyway, keep the behind-the-scenes questions coming.
- 9:21Speaker 1: I love this more than anything. I love answering those questions.
- 9:23Speaker 1: I love when people come in, and I can explain
- 9:26Speaker 1: what I do, you know? A quick funny story. I've
- 9:29Speaker 1: shared this before, but a few years ago, our boss
- 9:32Speaker 1: came into the studio and he wanted to know. He goes, hey,
- 9:34Speaker 1: let me ask you a question. I'm asking for another
- 9:37Speaker 1: radio station in another city that I oversee because he
- 9:41Speaker 1: oversees radio stations across the country. He's a big deal
- 9:43Speaker 1: nationally in our company. He said when you– when Lisa
- 9:46Speaker 1: or Billy or someone on the air says something funny
- 9:49Speaker 1: and then you're able to clip it and play it
- 9:51Speaker 1: back like within 10 seconds, how do you do that?
- 9:55Speaker 1: And I said, I'm not telling you. And I'll never forget.
- 9:57Speaker 1: He looked at me with this look like, what?
- 9:59Speaker 2: Like, what?
- 10:00Speaker 1: Like i'm not telling you that i'm like that's job
- 10:03Speaker 1: security you know then you'll tell everybody then everybody will
- 10:06Speaker 1: do it and everybody will you know have that advantage
- 10:09Speaker 1: and he just did not know what to say and
- 10:11Speaker 1: then his like surprise face just like turned into a
- 10:16Speaker 1: smile and he was like wow i'm Good for you.
- 10:19Speaker 1: He just walked out. I'm not telling you my secret.
- 10:24Speaker 1: If you were in here, if you listening to this
- 10:25Speaker 1: were in here, I would show you what I do.
- 10:29Speaker 1: Once you understand how I do it, it makes perfect sense.
- 10:31Speaker 1: But you wouldn't think to do it the way that
- 10:34Speaker 1: I do it. I'll just say that. I know you
- 10:36Speaker 1: probably don't understand what that means. It doesn't matter. It
- 10:38Speaker 1: doesn't matter. You don't need to know how I do it.
- 10:40Speaker 1: And my boss especially does not need to know how
- 10:43Speaker 1: I do it because then he's going to take that
- 10:45Speaker 1: to another station somewhere. Then it gets picked up and
- 10:47Speaker 1: everyone's doing it.
- 10:48Speaker 3: No.
- 10:48Speaker 1: Then they don't need Justin anymore. They can get another Justin.
- 10:52Speaker 1: Although I don't think that I'm irreplaceable. Everybody can be replaced.
- 10:55Speaker 1: Trust me. Anyway, have a great weekend, everybody. Kind of rainy,
- 10:59Speaker 1: shitty out this weekend. It's okay. We've had a nice
- 11:01Speaker 1: stretch of weather. But go Pats on Sunday. Gronk's getting
- 11:05Speaker 1: inducted into the Hall of Fame. That's 1 o'clock tomorrow.
- 11:07Speaker 1: That'll be fun. And again, comics come home. If you're
- 11:10Speaker 1: out there, say hello. All right. Bye-bye.
- 11:13Speaker 3: Bye-bye.
