Jingle Ball Recap... · Billy & Lisa in the Morning: The After Show

0:00
Speaker 1: Okay, here we go. It's the after show. It's a
0:03
Speaker 1: Monday after jingle Ball. Yes, definitely tired, but definitely worth it.
0:07
Speaker 1: What an amazing show last night. It was busy. It
0:10
Speaker 1: was very, very busy. A lot of people know that.
0:13
Speaker 1: I don't know if they know this or not, but
0:15
Speaker 1: I always come early on jingle Ball Sunday because I
0:18
Speaker 1: work and get a lot of stuff done, and that
0:20
Speaker 1: stuff not just for jingle Ball, but for the show
0:22
Speaker 1: as well, some of the end of the year things
0:25
Speaker 1: countdown stuff. You know, I come in, I'm by myself,
0:28
Speaker 1: I can work. So it sucks because it's a long day.
0:31
Speaker 1: But I got a lot done, and I got a
0:33
Speaker 1: lot done yesterday. When it comes to like the awards
0:37
Speaker 1: and the mashups and like all that stuff takes time
0:40
Speaker 1: to put together. So I got a lot done. And
0:44
Speaker 1: then jingle Ball of course last night. I mean, what
0:46
Speaker 1: can I say, it was it's very busy and it
0:49
Speaker 1: kind of sucks. It's good and it's bad. It's good
0:52
Speaker 1: because it's a great show and grateful to be there
0:54
Speaker 1: and you know that's always so special to me. But
0:57
Speaker 1: it sucks because I'm so busy working. I kind of
1:00
Speaker 1: feel like I'm glued to the computer because producer Riley
1:04
Speaker 1: posted a little bit behind the scenes thing of what
1:07
Speaker 1: I do. So I have a computer and I'm recording
1:10
Speaker 1: Billy's interviews as he does them, and then I chop
1:13
Speaker 1: them up as soon as he's done, and then Billy
1:15
Speaker 1: and I record as if we're with the artists. So,
1:18
Speaker 1: for example, Olivia Dean does the interview, I take notes
1:21
Speaker 1: on things that I want to use. She talked about
1:23
Speaker 1: her songs, she talked about doing SNL. Those are two
1:26
Speaker 1: things that I knew we were going to use. So
1:28
Speaker 1: once she's done, I cut it up real quick. Billy
1:31
Speaker 1: comes over and then he records and says, you know, hey,
1:34
Speaker 1: we're backstage justin and I we just had Olivia Dean here.
1:38
Speaker 1: She talked about SNL boom. And then I edit it
1:40
Speaker 1: all together and I send it to the radio station
1:43
Speaker 1: to be put on. But of course there's a time
1:47
Speaker 1: you have to get in at a certain time before
1:48
Speaker 1: it airs. And then also the schedule is all crazy backstage,
1:52
Speaker 1: and you know, times change coming, they're not coming, they
1:55
Speaker 1: are coming. It's just really crazy. So I wish that
1:57
Speaker 1: I could enjoy it more. Wish I could have went
2:01
Speaker 1: out and talked to people and talk to clients that
2:03
Speaker 1: I had, and it kind of stinks, you know, like
2:06
Speaker 1: Nurse Fiona's one. It was her birthday yesterday. I really
2:08
Speaker 1: wanted to go out and see her and say hello,
2:11
Speaker 1: but I couldn't. I was stuck there. But I'm grateful.
2:14
Speaker 1: It was a great night altogether. Ed Sharon did not
2:17
Speaker 1: do the interview, and I feel like he didn't do
2:19
Speaker 1: it because he wanted to watch the show. He literally
2:22
Speaker 1: stood anytime that I was out, like side stage, I
2:25
Speaker 1: was standing next to Ed, and he was standing next
2:27
Speaker 1: to Miles Smith watching the show, you know, bopping around.
2:31
Speaker 1: We saw him with Zarra Larson, he was with Sean Paul,
2:33
Speaker 1: he was with Miles Smith. He was everywhere. So whatever,
2:37
Speaker 1: we love ed either way, and he crushed it. I
2:39
Speaker 1: mean we got to go on stage introduce him, which
2:42
Speaker 1: is not an easy thing. By the way, Billy Costa
2:44
Speaker 1: makes it look easy. Even Lisa makes it look easy.
2:46
Speaker 1: They've been doing it a long time, but not really
2:48
Speaker 1: a stage guy per se. I mean, I do the
2:51
Speaker 1: best that I can, but definitely nervous, especially standing on
2:55
Speaker 1: stage at the Gardens, like completely wild, so all and off.
2:58
Speaker 1: If you went to the show. I hope you had fun.
3:00
Speaker 1: You know, we work all year leading up to this
3:04
Speaker 1: kind of like the last thing before Christmas vacation and
3:07
Speaker 1: then the start of a new year. So I know
3:09
Speaker 1: we talk about jingle Ball a lot, but it is
3:11
Speaker 1: a big deal for the radio station and for us,
3:14
Speaker 1: and I think for the people of Boston. It's a
3:15
Speaker 1: holiday tradition, you know. So yeah, that was that. And
3:20
Speaker 1: you know something else that kind of annoyed me that
3:24
Speaker 1: I will talk about here on this podcast. You know,
3:26
Speaker 1: there was a picture posted of Billy, Lisa and I
3:30
Speaker 1: and so I liked it. I really liked the picture
3:32
Speaker 1: I got posted on my Instagram and also to Facebook,
3:35
Speaker 1: and I collabed with kiss went Await and all that,
3:38
Speaker 1: and I saw there were like so many comments, like
3:41
Speaker 1: more comments than any other picture of a video that
3:43
Speaker 1: was posted. So I'm like, huh, so I look, and
3:47
Speaker 1: you know a lot of the comments were things like
3:49
Speaker 1: you know, miss Winny, which I understand. I never get
3:51
Speaker 1: mad at that. I understand that, like, hey, you know,
3:53
Speaker 1: when I wish when he was there, you know, because
3:56
Speaker 1: she would have been. But then they were like these
3:59
Speaker 1: nasty comments, Okay, I don't understand, Like who are the
4:06
Speaker 1: people that think it's okay to write, well, I think
4:09
Speaker 1: it's okay, but that are so freely able to write
4:13
Speaker 1: these things. Right, we talk about the Internet, We talked
4:15
Speaker 1: about people that troll or whatever, But like, when you
4:20
Speaker 1: write a nasty comment like that to people you don't know,
4:22
Speaker 1: and I understand maybe we're considered public figures, but would
4:27
Speaker 1: you say that in person? I don't think so. Would
4:29
Speaker 1: you say something nasty to me or to Billy or
4:32
Speaker 1: to Lisa in person? You just feel like you can
4:35
Speaker 1: just write whenever you want. Now, I get you're upset.
4:38
Speaker 1: If you're upset that there was a change on the show.
4:41
Speaker 1: I get it. If you're upset that when he is gone,
4:43
Speaker 1: I understand. And I've said this before, like if you're
4:46
Speaker 1: so upset you want to go to a different radio
4:48
Speaker 1: station or a different podcast, or you do not want
4:50
Speaker 1: to listen at all, I understand, But it's the need
4:53
Speaker 1: to tell us, like to hurt us that I'm like, okay.
4:57
Speaker 1: But then there's people that write some like straight nasty shit,
5:01
Speaker 1: like go to the Kiss Facebook you can read all
5:03
Speaker 1: the comments. I actually, for the first time ever, kind
5:06
Speaker 1: of responded to one. I just wrote a kissy faced
5:08
Speaker 1: because some woman wrote that the show is elitists that
5:12
Speaker 1: were elite. Motherfucker. I'm elite. I'm elite. I lived on
5:17
Speaker 1: the streets of Boston like I used to shoot heroin
5:20
Speaker 1: on the street. I smoked cocaine every day of my
5:22
Speaker 1: life for many years. I got clean and was able
5:25
Speaker 1: to somehow live out my dream, went back to college
5:29
Speaker 1: and made it all the way to hear but I'm
5:31
Speaker 1: an elitist because I have a fucking sauna like you?
5:34
Speaker 1: Is that a serious comment erin I don't know, A
5:38
Speaker 1: little tired, some little moody, So this is gonna be
5:40
Speaker 1: a good podcast. But yeah, okay, how about this? How
5:45
Speaker 1: about I worked hard. I started making a little bit
5:48
Speaker 1: of money where I could save my money and not
5:50
Speaker 1: blow it. And then I saved up money. Do you
5:54
Speaker 1: want to know how I got the sauna? I will
5:55
Speaker 1: tell you. I invested money in crypto because my friend
5:58
Speaker 1: told me so. I had money sitting in a crypto
6:00
Speaker 1: account that had made money. So I think I made
6:03
Speaker 1: like it was six or seven thousand dollars over the
6:06
Speaker 1: span of several years that money that just had sat
6:09
Speaker 1: and I was contributing to it every week. I had
6:11
Speaker 1: a thing set up where like twenty bucks a week
6:14
Speaker 1: would invest into a crypto, and so it made its
6:16
Speaker 1: way up to like six or seven grand, and then
6:18
Speaker 1: they came to me with New England Spas and said, hey,
6:21
Speaker 1: do you want to make a deal. I said, I
6:22
Speaker 1: would love a sauna and I was going to just
6:25
Speaker 1: finance it. And so then New England Sauna, who was amazing.
6:28
Speaker 1: They gave me a little bit of a discount, you know,
6:30
Speaker 1: a couple of thousand dollars off. The sauna was still
6:33
Speaker 1: about seven thousand dollars and so instead of financing it,
6:37
Speaker 1: I just pulled the money out of my crypto and
6:39
Speaker 1: paid for it. Okay, when I had the bad news
6:42
Speaker 1: on that that was that was in October of last year.
6:46
Speaker 1: Literally the election was a month later, and it quadrupled
6:50
Speaker 1: in value. So I would have had I don't know,
6:53
Speaker 1: thirty thousand dollars. That's neither hand nor there. It just sucks.
6:56
Speaker 1: But no, I got a sauna. So I talk about
7:00
Speaker 1: the sauna on the radio. But the people that hear
7:04
Speaker 1: that and they're like, oh, you're a fucking elitist. I
7:07
Speaker 1: hate that show. I hate I don't care if you
7:09
Speaker 1: don't like the show, that's fine. And I'm not talking
7:12
Speaker 1: about people that say they miss Winny. I'm not talking
7:13
Speaker 1: about them. I understand that. I understand that it's the
7:16
Speaker 1: other people with the negative stuff. Man, it's crazy to
7:20
Speaker 1: me that you feel that you can write those things.
7:25
Speaker 1: Who are you. Let's take a look in your closet.
7:28
Speaker 1: See that's the thing, right, Let's take a look at
7:31
Speaker 1: what you got going on, because I bet you got
7:32
Speaker 1: shit going on. We all do, you know, so mind
7:36
Speaker 1: your business is what I was what I'd like to say,
7:39
Speaker 1: Oh I'm on Facebook. Oh there's a picture of them through.
7:42
Speaker 1: Oh this show is awful. And by the way, they
7:44
Speaker 1: made fun of my sneakers, which is like a low blow.
7:47
Speaker 1: I don't really care. But someone wrote, oh the white
7:50
Speaker 1: sneakers justin like that's so eighties. Okay, I actually liked
7:55
Speaker 1: the sneakers. They were like supreme. I don't even know
7:58
Speaker 1: what that is, but they're kind of like heat. You know.
8:01
Speaker 1: I had been holding them for a while, waiting for
8:02
Speaker 1: a special moment, and it was jingle Ball last night,
8:05
Speaker 1: so I'm probably this green sweater that I went out
8:07
Speaker 1: and bought, which is festive, and then my white sneakers
8:10
Speaker 1: with the red laces and they're supreme Airmaxes. I know
8:13
Speaker 1: you probably don't know what that means. But they're pretty,
8:15
Speaker 1: they're pretty dope. They're pretty elite. Elite. Oh I'm an elitist,
8:18
Speaker 1: never mind. And so yeah, they would make making fun
8:21
Speaker 1: of my white sneakers. I'm like, if I met this
8:23
Speaker 1: person on the street, would they say that to me?
8:25
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I doubt it because when I
8:28
Speaker 1: meet people anywhere and I'm out and about, I meet
8:31
Speaker 1: people all the time that are listeners of the show
8:34
Speaker 1: or whatever. Not once, not once, has anybody said something
8:38
Speaker 1: disrespectful to me. But yeah, I go online and people
8:42
Speaker 1: are just taking shots. It's just interesting to me. I
8:45
Speaker 1: didn't want to go off on a whole rant on this,
8:47
Speaker 1: but I knew I wanted to address it on the podcast.
8:49
Speaker 1: It's just kind of like sucky, just kind of like
8:52
Speaker 1: brings the mood down. Didn't kill it because we still
8:55
Speaker 1: had an amazing time. It was an amazing jingle ball
8:57
Speaker 1: and I try to get out of thinking of and
9:01
Speaker 1: it always goes back to recovery. I know you're probably
9:04
Speaker 1: sick of hearing it, but I'm sorry if you're listening
9:06
Speaker 1: to this podcast, if you listen to me. It's such
9:07
Speaker 1: a big part of my life. But one of the
9:10
Speaker 1: things you learn about when you get clean is that
9:12
Speaker 1: you know there's a saying where you'll be in a
9:14
Speaker 1: room full of one thousand people that love you, and
9:17
Speaker 1: there's one person that doesn't like you, and you have
9:20
Speaker 1: a tendency to focus on that person, not the nine
9:23
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety nine other people who love you. You're
9:25
Speaker 1: just so focused on that one person. So I kind
9:28
Speaker 1: of attribute that to this. Right, there are so many
9:31
Speaker 1: people who are still listening, okay, and the comments that say, right,
9:35
Speaker 1: you want to get really real here, the comments that say, oh,
9:38
Speaker 1: the show is over, Oh the vbros Are gonna take over,
9:41
Speaker 1: the show is in the trash, just cancel them. Really,
9:44
Speaker 1: we just had the highest ratings in two years that
9:47
Speaker 1: just came in for the new book. The ratings have
9:50
Speaker 1: gone up since when he left, and which is shocking
9:53
Speaker 1: because we thought that they were going to go down
9:55
Speaker 1: because there were so many people writing negative stuff. But
9:58
Speaker 1: they haven't. The ratings have actually gone up. I don't
10:01
Speaker 1: know if that's now. Here's the thing you might be thinking,
10:04
Speaker 1: is that because when he's gone. I don't think so.
10:06
Speaker 1: The ratings do go up and down. They are weird.
10:09
Speaker 1: There are different factors. I don't try to put too
10:11
Speaker 1: much into the ratings because it's such a wacky system.
10:13
Speaker 1: It's such a wacky way to measure listening. I can
10:17
Speaker 1: go into that another time. So I do. I think
10:19
Speaker 1: it's that I don't necessarily think so it may sound
10:22
Speaker 1: like that, but still, Okay, the ratings are going up.
10:25
Speaker 1: The ratings were had our best book in like two
10:29
Speaker 1: to two and a half years, So no, we're doing okay.
10:33
Speaker 1: I know this show is different. I get it. But
10:36
Speaker 1: guess who's showing up. Guess who's showing up at eight
10:38
Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning on jingle Ball Day and working
10:40
Speaker 1: until midnight and then getting up at three am to
10:44
Speaker 1: come back in and do a morning show on a
10:46
Speaker 1: Monday with all of the audio. Guess who's showing up.
10:48
Speaker 1: Guess who's been here putting together all of this shit
10:51
Speaker 1: for this show. I don't know. It's a really frustrating thing.
10:55
Speaker 1: I get the changes. I get that stuff happens. But
11:00
Speaker 1: Winnie has a podcast, man, you know, like she's doing
11:02
Speaker 1: the best that she can. She has a podcast that's uh.
11:05
Speaker 1: I think it drops every single week, like you can
11:07
Speaker 1: listen to both, or you can just listen to her.
11:10
Speaker 1: If if you can't listen to this show without her,
11:13
Speaker 1: she has a podcast that you can listen to. Go
11:15
Speaker 1: support her, you know what I mean. I think she
11:18
Speaker 1: has a pay thing you have to pay. I think
11:19
Speaker 1: it's like five bucks a month. You can pay five
11:22
Speaker 1: dollars a month and listen to Winnie every single week.
11:24
Speaker 1: And you know what turn us off? And don't comment,
11:29
Speaker 1: don't say hurtful things to people. You know, it's really
11:33
Speaker 1: frustrating to me. I don't know why. It's it's unfortunate
11:38
Speaker 1: that I that I that people are just so nasty
11:41
Speaker 1: and shout out to the people who jump on and
11:43
Speaker 1: defend us. Not that you have to do that, but
11:45
Speaker 1: the people that jump on and they're like, listen, you know,
11:48
Speaker 1: it's not their fault, or you know, just don't listen
11:52
Speaker 1: to the show if you don't like it. Yeah, And
11:54
Speaker 1: you know what's crazy is Billy and Lisa don't read
11:56
Speaker 1: any of the comments. They live a free life, happy
12:00
Speaker 1: as fucking clams. That's what they do. And by the way,
12:02
Speaker 1: when you take a shot at Lisa's book club, let's okay,
12:06
Speaker 1: don't let me get into that Lisa's book Club. Right,
12:09
Speaker 1: Lisa didn't do anything for a year, Like she was
12:11
Speaker 1: on the show with Maddie, and she always wanted to
12:13
Speaker 1: do stuff, but she never had the courage to do
12:15
Speaker 1: it right. And then Maddie retired and she kind of
12:18
Speaker 1: was like, I want to do this thing. So she
12:19
Speaker 1: started a book club for people to get people reading
12:23
Speaker 1: and to bring people together, women, men, everybody. And look
12:26
Speaker 1: what it's turned into. She puts so much time and
12:29
Speaker 1: work into that. It's a community thing. It sells out
12:31
Speaker 1: every single time. Why because people like coming together to
12:35
Speaker 1: meet the authors, to see each other. I mean, it's
12:38
Speaker 1: become a real book club. Okay, So I don't understand
12:42
Speaker 1: how that's a negative thing. Oh, that stupid show, Lisa.
12:46
Speaker 1: All they talk about is Lisa's books and Billy's kid. Okay,
12:49
Speaker 1: let's talk about Billy's kid real quick. Chris Costa has
12:51
Speaker 1: a partnership with Tom Brady that he got without his father.
12:55
Speaker 1: Without his father, Billy had no hand in the relationship
12:59
Speaker 1: that Chris Costa with Tom Brady. Chris Costa did it
13:01
Speaker 1: all on his own. Do we know that? Do we think?
13:05
Speaker 1: Did you think that Billy like you know, because he's
13:08
Speaker 1: Billy Costa's son. No, Chris did it all on his own.
13:11
Speaker 1: So I don't know, Man, We're not perfect, and you
13:14
Speaker 1: can say a lot of different things, but uh, you know,
13:19
Speaker 1: I think that we have a good show, and I
13:21
Speaker 1: work with these people every single day and I can
13:23
Speaker 1: tell you that they are two of the most sweetest
13:25
Speaker 1: people you will ever fucking meet. And this goes back
13:29
Speaker 1: to the Maddie thing with people attacking them. Like if
13:32
Speaker 1: you listen to the show, if you've been listening to
13:34
Speaker 1: the show for a long time of Billy and Lisa,
13:36
Speaker 1: you should pretty much pick it up that they're nice people,
13:39
Speaker 1: that they've never hurt a soul. What would argue they
13:42
Speaker 1: are too nice sometimes, you know, So yeah, it's frustrating.
13:48
Speaker 1: So that's the thing if you listen to this podcast,
13:51
Speaker 1: and if you listen to this podcast, you're probably still
13:54
Speaker 1: listening to the show. So I don't even know why
13:55
Speaker 1: I'm going up on this rant here, but I don't know.
13:58
Speaker 1: It makes me feel better. But yeah, j was amazing. Man,
14:01
Speaker 1: I'm not going to let that ruin it. I just
14:02
Speaker 1: wanted to get that off my chest because I'm like
14:04
Speaker 1: reading through the comments last night when I got home
14:06
Speaker 1: trying to go to bed, and I'm like riding a
14:08
Speaker 1: high on this jingle ball thing. And then I'm scrolling
14:11
Speaker 1: through the comments, which I shouldn't do, but I read
14:13
Speaker 1: all the comments and I'm like, really, wow, man, they're
14:17
Speaker 1: really that worked up. Huh. I don't know, it's crazy.
14:21
Speaker 1: But anyway, I love you guys, and thank you so
14:23
Speaker 1: much for listening. Thanks for letting me rant. I appreciate it.
14:25
Speaker 1: I feel so much better now. And you know what,
14:27
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it's gonna be okay.
14:29
Speaker 1: I'm gonna still show up to work do my best
14:32
Speaker 1: like I've always done my entire career. I just keep
14:36
Speaker 1: showing up until they tell me to not come in anymore.
14:40
Speaker 1: You know. I was talking to tiff last night. Tiffany
14:42
Speaker 1: who worked here. She was in Cincinnati. She was part
14:45
Speaker 1: of the layoffs, but she came to She was like
14:48
Speaker 1: the voice of God there, so they kind of contracted
14:50
Speaker 1: her out to work. And I had a good conversation
