Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: All right, welcome into the After Show podcast. This is
- 0:03Speaker 1: justin here but by myself, well not really. Billy Costa
- 0:07Speaker 1: just stepped into the building. Billy, two days in a
- 0:09Speaker 1: row on the After Show.
- 0:10Speaker 2: What's going on?
- 0:11Speaker 3: Bro?
- 0:11Speaker 4: What are you doing? Man? What do you want some
- 0:13Speaker 4: of this bonus money that we get?
- 0:14Speaker 3: No, I had a question for you actually concerning the
- 0:17Speaker 3: billion Lisa Morning Show.
- 0:19Speaker 2: This is the after Show, right it is.
- 0:22Speaker 3: I'm not pleased with this little relationship you've got going
- 0:27Speaker 3: on with producer.
- 0:27Speaker 4: Riley, the work relationship.
- 0:30Speaker 3: Yeah, because the way it's affecting me and my needs. So, folks,
- 0:36Speaker 3: if you're listening by now, you probably know that the
- 0:39Speaker 3: main studio is there, and I'm in there with Lisa
- 0:42Speaker 3: and producer Riley and Justin I can see through a
- 0:45Speaker 3: giant pane of glass in his studio where he creates
- 0:49Speaker 3: all the magic for the Billy and Lisa Morning Show. Now,
- 0:52Speaker 3: every studio pretty much has a pretty good sized TV screen,
- 0:58Speaker 3: flat screen, as do I. You've got one right over
- 1:01Speaker 3: my shoulder here, and I can't help but notice that
- 1:03Speaker 3: yours is on, yes, and it's always on.
- 1:06Speaker 4: Very important.
- 1:06Speaker 3: Okay, so this morning during the show, Now, I always
- 1:11Speaker 3: like to have.
- 1:11Speaker 2: The TV on in the studio in the event heaven forbid.
- 1:15Speaker 2: You know, we always have.
- 1:16Speaker 3: It on one of the national networks, and in case
- 1:18Speaker 3: something happens in the news, something big, and we're on it.
- 1:22Speaker 2: Okay.
- 1:23Speaker 3: So I turned Riley this morning and said, hey, could
- 1:26Speaker 3: you snap on the TV? I want to make sure
- 1:28Speaker 3: if there's something going on, we're on top of it
- 1:30Speaker 3: right away. And she picks up the remote, pretending to
- 1:35Speaker 3: care about what I just asked her. Okay, And as
- 1:37Speaker 3: soon as I walked out the door, she put the
- 1:40Speaker 3: remote down and called you and snitched on me and said,
- 1:45Speaker 3: Billy wants the TV on. I know you don't want
- 1:46Speaker 3: the TV on. I don't get what your thing is
- 1:49Speaker 3: about my TV. When you've got your own on during
- 1:51Speaker 3: the show.
- 1:52Speaker 2: I'm fine. I don't get distracted.
- 1:54Speaker 5: You know.
- 1:54Speaker 3: One time, I think over the years, I did, and
- 1:57Speaker 3: you've turned it on me.
- 2:00Speaker 2: He said, no, turn it off. Do not allow him
- 2:02Speaker 2: to have his TV on.
- 2:03Speaker 4: Okay, are you done?
- 2:04Speaker 1: Not quite, but go ahead, Okay. Have you ever heard
- 2:07Speaker 1: the phrase proud dad moment?
- 2:10Speaker 2: Of course, I've had plenty of those.
- 2:12Speaker 4: That's what this is for me.
- 2:13Speaker 1: That producer Riley did what she did makes me so
- 2:17Speaker 1: proud because I banned the TV from the studio because
- 2:21Speaker 1: it does distract you. So what happens is, yes, with
- 2:25Speaker 1: breaking news happens. That's fine. But you wanted fucking Kelly
- 2:29Speaker 1: and Mark on?
- 2:30Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no, okay, I'll take any station
- 2:32Speaker 2: I didn't want.
- 2:33Speaker 3: The only reason I wanted Kelly and Mark on is
- 2:35Speaker 3: because we were talking about Donnie Wahlberg and his new
- 2:38Speaker 3: show launches on CBSWBZ TV four tomorrow night, and.
- 2:43Speaker 2: It's Boston Blue.
- 2:44Speaker 3: It's all about Boston, and Donnie is going to be
- 2:46Speaker 3: coming back on our show.
- 2:47Speaker 2: So I just wanted to see if he was on.
- 2:49Speaker 3: I could come in here and say to you, by
- 2:51Speaker 3: the way, justin Donnie is on the Mark and Kelly
- 2:54Speaker 3: show right now.
- 2:54Speaker 2: If you want to listen to what he has to say.
- 2:56Speaker 1: Well, I would say, don't get mad at producer Riley.
- 2:58Speaker 1: She's doing what I asked to do. No, she's doing
- 3:01Speaker 1: She's helping me. She has a lot on her plate.
- 3:03Speaker 1: She's obviously filling a big role, trying to run all
- 3:05Speaker 1: the equipment, and she knows the role. There's no TV
- 3:08Speaker 1: in the studio because for people that are listening, Okay,
- 3:11Speaker 1: when the show is going on and the TV is on,
- 3:14Speaker 1: Billy will be talking and then you can see his
- 3:17Speaker 1: attention drift to the TV, which is okay because Billy
- 3:21Speaker 1: is a professional and you've been doing this for how
- 3:22Speaker 1: many years?
- 3:23Speaker 5: Right?
- 3:24Speaker 1: The problem, and listeners will know this because it's happened
- 3:27Speaker 1: several times, is in the middle of a conversation the TV,
- 3:31Speaker 1: something will interest you and you'll be like, we'll be
- 3:34Speaker 1: talking about, you know, servers and restaurants, right, conversation right,
- 3:37Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, you go, the hell
- 3:39Speaker 1: is joy Bear wearing on the view.
- 3:44Speaker 4: Whatever the fuck her name is.
- 3:46Speaker 2: That's what you do, Okay, But here's my main problem.
- 3:48Speaker 3: First of all, it is the Billy and list the
- 3:51Speaker 3: morning show a b producer Riley, Like, what else is
- 3:57Speaker 3: she deciding?
- 4:00Speaker 2: My back with you?
- 4:01Speaker 1: Anything that I asked her to do to make the
- 4:03Speaker 1: show run smoothly. I have the TV on, so if
- 4:05Speaker 1: there's breaking news, I will see it.
- 4:07Speaker 2: But when am I a priority?
- 4:10Speaker 4: You're a priority?
- 4:11Speaker 3: Your prairie is has been better if Riley had said
- 4:14Speaker 3: to me, oh, Justin really doesn't want the TV on
- 4:18Speaker 3: in the studio. I mean, you are the executive producer
- 4:20Speaker 3: of this program. Right, Instead, she chose to watch me
- 4:25Speaker 3: walk out the door and then get on the phone
- 4:28Speaker 3: with you.
- 4:29Speaker 4: Yeah. Well she came in to me even worse.
- 4:32Speaker 2: Yes, so now she's talking behind my back.
- 4:35Speaker 4: Well, she just didn't know what to do.
- 4:37Speaker 1: She came in and she says you shouldn't come in
- 4:39Speaker 1: and say, hey, I gotta tell you this, Like she cares.
- 4:41Speaker 1: What do I do here? He wants the TV on.
- 4:43Speaker 1: I know you don't allow the TV and I said,
- 4:45Speaker 1: absolutely not. I will handle it. And I said to you, dude,
- 4:48Speaker 1: there's no TV. It's distracting.
- 4:51Speaker 2: You're acting like my dad.
- 4:53Speaker 3: Well you gotta like you know you're gonna eat your
- 4:55Speaker 3: vegetables before you get up away from the table.
- 4:58Speaker 2: By the way, are you eating my vegetables?
- 5:01Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 5:01Speaker 3: I eat throws before I eat anything else. Perfect, okay, perfect,
- 5:05Speaker 3: what if we settled here? No, we can come to
- 5:07Speaker 3: a compromise. I will allow the TV on during the show,
- 5:12Speaker 3: but one time, if you get distracted while we're live,
- 5:16Speaker 3: it goes off.
- 5:16Speaker 4: Okay, I'm so you're parent here. Okay, okay.
- 5:19Speaker 2: You want me to pay a fee if I get caught?
- 5:21Speaker 4: No, no money.
- 5:22Speaker 2: I don't want your money.
- 5:23Speaker 1: I don't want well, actually, you can give the money
- 5:25Speaker 1: to Riley because lord, no, she makes ten dollars an hour.
- 5:27Speaker 3: Okay, anytime I violate, yes, I will give Riley ten dollars.
- 5:32Speaker 4: Perfect, A little cheap there for someone a mistake.
- 5:36Speaker 1: It's like ten bucks put a price on when the
- 5:39Speaker 1: as the time you got a ten dollar bill in
- 5:40Speaker 1: your pocket.
- 5:41Speaker 3: Okay, I'll give her a twenty perfect Okay every time.
- 5:44Speaker 2: I violate, Yeah, okay, this is that's good. Now I
- 5:48Speaker 2: have to pay to be on the job.
- 5:49Speaker 1: Well, you need to pay attention and because no, you do.
- 5:53Speaker 1: The thing is I'm giving you shit. But people don't
- 5:56Speaker 1: understand how much you do. Right, we're talking news or entertainment,
- 6:01Speaker 1: you're hosting, you're reading live commercial. There's a lot. The
- 6:04Speaker 1: last thing we need is a TV on to distract
- 6:06Speaker 1: you even more. That's what I'm trying to help you.
- 6:08Speaker 3: So now I have to go home and decide is
- 6:11Speaker 3: it worth twenty dollars a violation to Okay, give her
- 6:17Speaker 3: producer Riley and she's working herself now she's an apology
- 6:21Speaker 3: would be not.
- 6:21Speaker 4: Now she's doing the podcast.
- 6:23Speaker 3: That's why you're familiar with the song Backstabber.
- 6:26Speaker 1: I'd play the song, but we're not allowed to play
- 6:28Speaker 1: music on the podcast. Okay, they shut that down rule.
- 6:31Speaker 1: By the way, that's what Riley's doing right now because
- 6:34Speaker 1: the podcast can't have music.
- 6:36Speaker 4: Even the billiing Lisa one, so she.
- 6:38Speaker 2: Has to remove any and all music that we featured.
- 6:41Speaker 4: On the Imagine Imagine.
- 6:43Speaker 1: Yeah, God bless her because we the radio pays for
- 6:46Speaker 1: the music, so we can play whatever we want on
- 6:48Speaker 1: the air, but on the podcast it's not.
- 6:50Speaker 3: Now it's fifty dollars it should be. Yeah, you know what,
- 6:53Speaker 3: let's just leave the TV.
- 6:54Speaker 1: That's why, you know, obviously the winning situation is happening.
- 6:56Speaker 1: We did the podcast yesterday. People are very appreciative of that,
- 7:00Speaker 1: so you know, we do our best.
- 7:02Speaker 2: And by the way, for the record, I spoke with
- 7:04Speaker 2: Winnie on the phone yesterday.
- 7:05Speaker 5: Oh.
- 7:05Speaker 3: I did take a lengthy conversation. Uh, and we're fine.
- 7:09Speaker 3: She totally understands it. It's like, I mean, we all
- 7:12Speaker 3: feel bad. I mean, in the course of our lives,
- 7:14Speaker 3: we've all lost a job.
- 7:16Speaker 2: It sucks. It does nothing worse.
- 7:18Speaker 4: It does, it does. And I get this is my
- 7:21Speaker 4: thing on it, right.
- 7:22Speaker 1: I get the anger because there have shows that I
- 7:25Speaker 1: have loved that have changed and I was upset about it.
- 7:28Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and I understand okay, I can even understand
- 7:31Speaker 1: the lashing out. Right, you're mad, you leave a comment, Oh,
- 7:33Speaker 1: you leave a talk back? Right, I see them all.
- 7:35Speaker 1: I read all the comments. I wish I was like Billy,
- 7:38Speaker 1: Billy doesn't read anything.
- 7:39Speaker 3: Well. I choose not to listen to comments because they're
- 7:42Speaker 3: always angry and they're looking for you to respond to that.
- 7:45Speaker 3: And you know, when he's a dear friend of mine,
- 7:48Speaker 3: I would rather keep my thoughts and my comments to myself.
- 7:51Speaker 2: Yeah, between me and when.
- 7:52Speaker 1: Yeah, I read them all. I see them to I
- 7:54Speaker 1: said this yesterday. They don't bother me. The only one
- 7:56Speaker 1: that bothered me was a thing about my drug addiction. Yeah,
- 7:58Speaker 1: that's crazy, what are you doing? I see it can
- 8:00Speaker 1: be crazy, Like it can be crazy. But here's the
- 8:02Speaker 1: one thing that I kind of am starting to have
- 8:05Speaker 1: a problem with. If you listen to the show and
- 8:09Speaker 1: you loved Winnie and loved all of us together, because
- 8:11Speaker 1: that seems to be the thing, right, there were four
- 8:13Speaker 1: of us together, right, so you took one person out,
- 8:15Speaker 1: so they're upset, okay, but it's the need to say
- 8:20Speaker 1: I am never listening to your show again. I understand
- 8:24Speaker 1: the anger, but what does that say about the three
- 8:27Speaker 1: of us and the work that we put in on
- 8:29Speaker 1: the show.
- 8:29Speaker 2: The fact that we are friends of Winny's.
- 8:31Speaker 1: Right, It's like, you know, okay, if that's your decision.
- 8:35Speaker 4: That's okay, But it's the need to tell me.
- 8:38Speaker 1: It's to tell me in the talk packs like Justin,
- 8:41Speaker 1: it is messed up what they did to Winnie. I
- 8:44Speaker 1: am never listening again.
- 8:45Speaker 2: Wow. So that means none of us meant anything.
- 8:48Speaker 4: They're punishing us for when we didn't have anything to
- 8:51Speaker 4: do with it.
- 8:52Speaker 3: And that's the part that gets me, like, it's not
- 8:54Speaker 3: as if, you know, it's not as if. First of all,
- 8:57Speaker 3: I was in talk about Surprises, I was in Africa.
- 9:00Speaker 3: I had no idea until I was on the phone
- 9:02Speaker 3: with you. Yeah, and you you hung up on me,
- 9:05Speaker 3: and I'm like, standing there in the bush with the
- 9:07Speaker 3: phone in my hand.
- 9:08Speaker 2: I said, Justin just cut me off.
- 9:10Speaker 4: Well, I said, holy shit.
- 9:11Speaker 2: And I know that came after it, because then I
- 9:13Speaker 2: had to text you and say, yeah, dude, you're scaring me.
- 9:16Speaker 2: Well I just hang up and then ten.
- 9:18Speaker 3: Minutes later, holy shit, and I'm like, what happened? So
- 9:22Speaker 3: that's how much of a surprise. It was to us.
- 9:24Speaker 3: And you need to understand, this is a giant company, okay,
- 9:27Speaker 3: a giant corporation. It came down from headquarters. None of
- 9:31Speaker 3: us has the power to call headquarters and say what
- 9:34Speaker 3: are you doing? We can't there's.
- 9:36Speaker 1: Nothing we can do, and there's like what are some
- 9:38Speaker 1: of these people are leaving like talkbacks over and over again. Yeah,
- 9:42Speaker 1: and some of them will say like, you're not protesting enough,
- 9:45Speaker 1: you're not speaking up enough. Hey, they didn't ask us,
- 9:48Speaker 1: they just did it. And then afterwards, like I remember,
- 9:51Speaker 1: I said to him like did it have to be done?
- 9:53Speaker 4: Yes? It did.
- 9:54Speaker 1: Okay, So you know I called Winnie, you know, talking
- 9:57Speaker 1: to Whennie we're upset with you know, she's crying wherever sat,
- 10:00Speaker 1: like what the hell? And then the show continues on.
- 10:02Speaker 3: It sucks and all we can do is stand side
- 10:05Speaker 3: by side with Winnie and help her as much as
- 10:07Speaker 3: we can to land her next gig. And you know what,
- 10:10Speaker 3: she could very likely be rehired by this company. They
- 10:12Speaker 3: made it clear you're definitely rehirable. But this is a
- 10:16Speaker 3: wave of cutbacks that are going through the country, the
- 10:19Speaker 3: company nationwide.
- 10:20Speaker 4: It is yep.
- 10:21Speaker 5: I just wanted to thank you guys for making that
- 10:23Speaker 5: after show podcast using your words in your time to
- 10:28Speaker 5: explain what happened, because everybody likes to hear that and
- 10:31Speaker 5: get an explanation. And Winnie will miss you. We already do.
- 10:35Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
- 10:35Speaker 1: I talked to her at length yesterday, well throughout the
- 10:37Speaker 1: whole thing, and too. She seems to me in good spirits,
- 10:40Speaker 1: I mean, as best you can be.
- 10:42Speaker 4: You know. I think she's going to be just fine.
- 10:44Speaker 2: Oh God, will she ever?
- 10:46Speaker 1: Because I said to her yesterday, I go, Winnie, I
- 10:48Speaker 1: know you're like nervous and scared. Well, who loves money
- 10:51Speaker 1: more than you? She's gonna make that money on after It. Yeah,
- 10:55Speaker 1: And by the way, it would be fool I think
- 10:57Speaker 1: it would be foolish for someone else in Boston another
- 10:59Speaker 1: media company pick her up.
- 11:01Speaker 4: It's on the Globe on Boston dot Com the story.
- 11:03Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, and she knows it and she'll work
- 11:05Speaker 3: it because that's what she's great.
