- 0:13Speaker 1: welcome as well. There wasn't mention on the regular show
- 0:15Speaker 1: today about Nurse Fiona. She had left to talk back
- 0:18Speaker 1: about being on yesterday, And anytime that the after Show
- 0:21Speaker 1: is mentioned on the show, I always think maybe there's
- 0:23Speaker 1: like one or two new listeners that are checking it out.
- 0:27Speaker 1: So if that's you, welcome in to the podcast. I
- 0:31Speaker 1: do my best to do a podcast every day. Some
- 0:33Speaker 1: days I have guests like yesterday. Somedays it's just me.
- 0:37Speaker 1: I don't want to leave you high and dry, especially
- 0:39Speaker 1: because you know you might have this podcast in your
- 0:42Speaker 1: routine and I appreciate that. So anyway, Happy Friday. It's
- 0:46Speaker 1: December fifth. I was just chatting with our boss. He
- 0:49Speaker 1: stopped in and it's all good, man, it's all good.
- 0:52Speaker 1: You know a lot of good things coming going on
- 0:55Speaker 1: coming into the end of the year, jingle Ball and
- 0:59Speaker 1: the Big cas and best ofs and countdowns and all
- 1:03Speaker 1: that stuff that starts now that I've been working on.
- 1:06Speaker 1: You know, Billy and I do a year end countdown,
- 1:08Speaker 1: which is really special to me and to Billy because
- 1:12Speaker 1: you know, we record it. We spend a lot of
- 1:14Speaker 1: time on it. I spend a lot of time researching
- 1:16Speaker 1: it and kind of putting together the best music countdown.
- 1:19Speaker 1: And then of course we have the top twenty five
- 1:21Speaker 1: moments of the year, which I've been picking. I think
- 1:25Speaker 1: we're done with it. Hint, hint. Number one is Tom Brady.
- 1:30Speaker 1: There's an exclusive the well, the only time he called in,
- 1:33Speaker 1: he was supposed he was supposed to join us again,
- 1:35Speaker 1: but I don't know. It's tricky. It's tricky. Chris is
- 1:38Speaker 1: really trying hard. He said to me, you know, I
- 1:42Speaker 1: can get Tom on the show, you know, but and
- 1:45Speaker 1: I said, well, I'd like to do something special with him.
- 1:47Speaker 1: And so we had this whole plan which is gonna
- 1:50Speaker 1: happen at some point where Tom's gonna do something really
- 1:52Speaker 1: special for one of our listeners. I think with the holidays, Thanksgiving, Christmas,
- 1:57Speaker 1: there's a lot going on, and Tom's a busy guy. Man.
- 2:01Speaker 1: It's been cool knowing Chris and getting up behind the
- 2:04Speaker 1: scenes and how these things work. Like with Tom Brady,
- 2:08Speaker 1: you know, like how Chris communicates with him and how
- 2:11Speaker 1: Tom operates and we're talking about the fucking goat here.
- 2:15Speaker 1: Think about how crazy that is. I was talking to
- 2:17Speaker 1: Chris recently and I'm like, dude, you must pinch yourself.
- 2:21Speaker 1: And I know that feeling because I get that feeling
- 2:24Speaker 1: still from working here at KIS went away growing up
- 2:26Speaker 1: listening to this radio station. We all grew up watching
- 2:30Speaker 1: and idolizing Tom Brady and now Chris Costa that's like
- 2:34Speaker 1: his boy. Billy was talking to Chris yesterday and Chris
- 2:38Speaker 1: was giving him a schedule. It's insane. Like he's flying
- 2:41Speaker 1: all across the country to different places, going to the
- 2:45Speaker 1: super Bowl, got invited to Tiger Wood's birthday party. And
- 2:49Speaker 1: you know when he says these things, it's like he's
- 2:52Speaker 1: not flexing. This is his career, you know. I don't
- 2:55Speaker 1: know if you know the story on how it all happened.
- 2:57Speaker 1: Maybe you do, maybe you don't. I'll tell it quickly.
- 3:00Speaker 1: Chris had a very successful job in software sales, I
- 3:04Speaker 1: believe it is, and he made a really good living
- 3:07Speaker 1: for many many years. And he always did trading cards.
- 3:11Speaker 1: It was always his hobby. I don't know if he
- 3:13Speaker 1: ever really had the idea to ever turn that into
- 3:16Speaker 1: a career, but it's something that he's always done, even
- 3:19Speaker 1: when it kind of went in and out of style,
- 3:21Speaker 1: if you will, you know, like when I was growing up,
- 3:23Speaker 1: it was popular and then it kind of went away.
- 3:25Speaker 1: Chris was consistent with the sports trading cards. So then
- 3:29Speaker 1: COVID hits okay and the world is shut down, and
- 3:32Speaker 1: Chris was on Nantucket on vacation on the beach I
- 3:36Speaker 1: think maybe twenty twenty one maybe, so things were kind
- 3:40Speaker 1: of opening up back up again. But he was on
- 3:41Speaker 1: the beach and he was talking to Randy from Big
- 3:44Speaker 1: Night Entertainment, who owns you know, him and his partners,
- 3:48Speaker 1: The Grand and you know, all these places, and he
- 3:50Speaker 1: was telling him about these sports cards. And it wasn't
- 3:53Speaker 1: a pitch, they were just having a conversation. But in
- 3:55Speaker 1: that conversation, Randy's head started spinning because I think I
- 4:01Speaker 1: think a lot of the things stuff were shut down
- 4:04Speaker 1: or had just reopened, so they were having a lot
- 4:06Speaker 1: of issues. I mean, that was tough to navigate as
- 4:08Speaker 1: well for restaurants and clubs. But it sparked an idea
- 4:12Speaker 1: in Randy's head, and afterwards, Randy called Chris and said, Hey,
- 4:15Speaker 1: that thing you were telling me about, tell me more
- 4:17Speaker 1: about it. And so then they had a conversation and
- 4:20Speaker 1: together they came up with card Vaults to open a
- 4:23Speaker 1: trading card store. They opened one, they opened two, and
- 4:26Speaker 1: it just grew and grew and grew. They have their
- 4:28Speaker 1: trading shows, and then fast forward, they get introduced to
- 4:32Speaker 1: Tom Brady through Michael Rubin. They do a pitch and
- 4:35Speaker 1: Tom Brady buys into card Vault and it becomes card
- 4:39Speaker 1: Vault by Tom Brady. And I'll never forget Chris told
- 4:43Speaker 1: us when he went to New York to do the
- 4:45Speaker 1: pitch to Tom Brady himself. They're in the in the
- 4:49Speaker 1: meeting in one of these big buildings in New York,
- 4:51Speaker 1: and it's all, you know, Chris and the whole Card
- 4:53Speaker 1: Vault team, Tom and all his team, some of the
- 4:56Speaker 1: Big Night Night Big Night guys spoke kind of an
- 4:58Speaker 1: introduction and they introduce Chris to Tom and they said,
- 5:01Speaker 1: this is Chris. He's basically the brains behind the whole thing.
- 5:05Speaker 1: And Chris said he was so nervous, but he stood
- 5:07Speaker 1: up and the first thing he said before he went
- 5:09Speaker 1: into the pitch was I just want to say Tom,
- 5:12Speaker 1: you are my idol. I grew up watching you and
- 5:15Speaker 1: idolizing you, and I don't even know how I got here,
- 5:18Speaker 1: but this feeling is incredible. And Tom had a response like, wow,
- 5:22Speaker 1: thank you so much for saying that. I can't remember
- 5:24Speaker 1: what he said exactly, but it was very heartfelt what
- 5:26Speaker 1: he said back to Chris. And then Chris went into
- 5:28Speaker 1: his pitch and fucking crushed it and Tom bought in.
- 5:32Speaker 1: It's just a really really cool story. And you know
- 5:35Speaker 1: it was all done by himself, Like Billy didn't help
- 5:38Speaker 1: him do any of that. You know, his dad's Billy Costa.
- 5:41Speaker 1: You know, his dad has a lot of connections, and
- 5:44Speaker 1: you know, he very well could have helped him do
- 5:47Speaker 1: many things, and he did it all himself. So I'm
- 5:49Speaker 1: super proud of Chris and super proud of everything that
- 5:52Speaker 1: he's doing. And yes, he will get Tom Brady eventually,
- 5:56Speaker 1: and he'll be doing something really really cool. I don't
- 5:57Speaker 1: want to spoil it yet, but it's something very cool
- 6:00Speaker 1: and something that you or someone you know could actually win.
- 6:04Speaker 1: So that's cool. Tonight, I want to have my daughter's
- 6:07Speaker 1: Christmas concert at her school. I'm so excited for this.
- 6:10Speaker 1: She's been practicing. So she goes to a Christian daycare
- 6:15Speaker 1: and it's like the best daycare ever. I'll give them
- 6:18Speaker 1: a shout out. Granted United in Salem, New Hampshire. She's
- 6:21Speaker 1: been going for like about a year and a half
- 6:23Speaker 1: and they had one last year. They have one again
- 6:25Speaker 1: this year. She's been practicing. She knows all the words
- 6:28Speaker 1: to the songs, and you know, they're all religious based,
- 6:30Speaker 1: they're all Christian based, so it's just really it's just
- 6:34Speaker 1: the cutest thing. So I'll be there today at four
- 6:36Speaker 1: point thirty to see that. The whole family's coming, except
- 6:39Speaker 1: for my mother in law who's in Florida. She's visiting
- 6:42Speaker 1: her sister down there for a week, so we'll be there.
- 6:45Speaker 1: My dad will come up and that'll be cool. And
- 6:47Speaker 1: then tomorrow night I'm going to Rayquon in Mob Deep.
- 6:49Speaker 1: If you know me, you know I'm a big nineties
- 6:51Speaker 1: rap fan, So I'm excited for that. Rayquon half a
- 6:55Speaker 1: Mob Deep because Prodigy died several years ago. Rip to P.
- 7:00Speaker 1: When I started on jamming as an intern, that was
- 7:02Speaker 1: kind of the running joke that I had with DJ
- 7:04Speaker 1: pup Dog. I'm like, listen, rappers come in here all
- 7:07Speaker 1: the time, but any nineties rappers that come in, please
- 7:11Speaker 1: let me know. And so it was always cool when
- 7:13Speaker 1: they would come in because pup Dog would call me
- 7:15Speaker 1: or text me and be like, hey, so and so
- 7:16Speaker 1: it's coming in, Like I remember when Joe Bunnen roys
- 7:20Speaker 1: to five nine joel Otz. You might not know who
- 7:23Speaker 1: these people are, but the rappers that I'm into, it
- 7:25Speaker 1: was always super excited. I remember I met a very
- 7:28Speaker 1: young Kendrick Lamar that was cool. He came in very
- 7:30Speaker 1: early in the morning, high as a kite, but nice guy.
- 7:34Speaker 1: And you can imagine Kendrick Lamar a very soft spoken like.
- 7:37Speaker 1: I had a conversation with him and he was either
- 7:40Speaker 1: really hired or really high or really tired. I can't forget.
- 7:45Speaker 1: But the number one coolest meeting of a rapper that
- 7:48Speaker 1: I ever had was Fabulous, another nineties rapper, because he
- 7:54Speaker 1: came in with pusha t It was at four or
- 7:57Speaker 1: five o'clock in the afternoon, so I worked on the
- 7:59Speaker 1: morning show with Romero, so I had gone home and
- 8:02Speaker 1: then I came back at four and Push a Tea
- 8:05Speaker 1: and Fabulous had a show I think at the wilbur
- 8:07Speaker 1: that night. So I was in the studio with Pop.
- 8:10Speaker 1: They both came in, just them too. That's it. Did
- 8:13Speaker 1: the interview, and then I was kind of talking with
- 8:15Speaker 1: Pop and fab and Push a Tea for a couple
- 8:17Speaker 1: of minutes, and then Push a Tea had to leave.
- 8:19Speaker 1: He had to do something, so he left, and it
- 8:22Speaker 1: was just Fabulous, Pop Dog and I and we had
- 8:25Speaker 1: like an hour long conversation, and I was just asking
- 8:28Speaker 1: questions to Fabulous, like about rap, about other nineties rappers,
- 8:33Speaker 1: about you know what it was like back then early
- 8:36Speaker 1: two thousands when Fabulous was like massive. It was just
- 8:39Speaker 1: it was an experience. And he loved it too, because
- 8:42Speaker 1: his people ended up having to come in, open the
- 8:44Speaker 1: door and pull him out. They're like, we gotta go,
- 8:46Speaker 1: and so that was a really cool moment. So yeah,
- 8:50Speaker 1: Rayquon mob Deep never met Rayquan never met mob Deep.
- 8:54Speaker 1: So when I'm excited to go and watch the show,
- 8:56Speaker 1: I'll be there with three. I'm my closest friends. I
- 8:59Speaker 1: got a lot of show was coming up, man. I
- 9:00Speaker 1: got that tonight, I got jingle Ball next week, then
- 9:03Speaker 1: the week after I got Ow's The Mentalist, which I
- 9:06Speaker 1: got tickets to go see, and then I'm going to
- 9:08Speaker 1: kill Tony a comedy show on the twenty seventh at
- 9:12Speaker 1: the Box Center. So I got a busy, busy month ahead.
- 9:16Speaker 1: So anyway, I wanted to check in with you guys
- 9:18Speaker 1: if you did not listen to the Nurse Fiona yesterday.
- 9:20Speaker 1: It was very good, a lot of good feedback on that.
- 9:23Speaker 1: She answered a lot of questions and she left a
- 9:25Speaker 1: nice talkback on the show today as well, So shout
