- 0:02Speaker 1: and the show just wrapped up what's going on our
- 0:05Speaker 1: friends with New England Spas. Stop by Ginny. She works
- 0:08Speaker 1: with New England Spas. They came in today sat in
- 0:11Speaker 1: the last segment. I had just had a meeting with her.
- 0:14Speaker 1: Love them so much. New England Spas has been such
- 0:18Speaker 1: an amazing part of my life. They got me my sauna.
- 0:20Speaker 1: I work with them obviously on the air talking about
- 0:23Speaker 1: what they do, and they're just great. They're amazing. I
- 0:26Speaker 1: use my sauna every night. You know that. I talk
- 0:28Speaker 1: about it endlessly, probably too much to anybody that will listen.
- 0:32Speaker 1: So it was really good to see her and talk
- 0:34Speaker 1: to her. And now we have a meeting coming up
- 0:36Speaker 1: in two minutes. God, it's unbelievable. One thing I want
- 0:40Speaker 1: to mention though, is on the show today I pulled
- 0:42Speaker 1: up my old commencement speech from Northern Essex because Hillary
- 0:46Speaker 1: Duff was the commencement speaker for Northeastern at Fenway yesterday.
- 0:50Speaker 1: We played that and then it got me thinking and
- 0:52Speaker 1: reminiscing about being the commencement speaker at Northern Essex. I
- 0:55Speaker 1: had forgotten. I didn't forget about that, but I hadn't
- 0:57Speaker 1: heard it in so long, you know.
- 0:59Speaker 2: Eventually I was asked to work for the legendary Maddie
- 1:01Speaker 2: in the morning show on Kiss one o eight. I
- 1:03Speaker 2: showed that I used to listen to when I was
- 1:05Speaker 2: locked up in jail, thinking my dreams are gone. I
- 1:10Speaker 2: messed up. I'll never be able to do that. I'm
- 1:13Speaker 2: a three time loser. Last year, when he retired, I
- 1:18Speaker 2: became the executive producer co host for the newly launched
- 1:22Speaker 2: Billy and Lisa in the Morning.
- 1:26Speaker 1: Yeah. I had forgotten about that. Man. That was such
- 1:30Speaker 1: a special moment. Obviously, I graduated from Northern Essex. I
- 1:33Speaker 1: didn't work with them, you know after like on the radio,
- 1:36Speaker 1: and hopefully we'll do so again. They actually have my
- 1:40Speaker 1: picture in the hallway. It's like a big poster with
- 1:43Speaker 1: my full body image on there. People send me pictures
- 1:46Speaker 1: that I know that go to Northern Essex. It's actually
- 1:49Speaker 1: really funny.
- 1:50Speaker 3: I just want to let justin know. I heard the
- 1:54Speaker 3: clip from the commencement and I got a little teary eyed.
- 1:56Speaker 3: I remember you from way back when. I remember you
- 1:59Speaker 3: answered then and you were very sweet and kudos to
- 2:03Speaker 3: you for upping the bar constantly for your life, your family.
- 2:09Speaker 3: You inspire a lot of people. God bless you.
- 2:13Speaker 1: Thank you very much for that. I really appreciate it,
- 2:15Speaker 1: very grateful. And you know, we talked about jobs this
- 2:18Speaker 1: morning and about doing jobs for passion or money. You know,
- 2:21Speaker 1: obviously the goal is to do it for both. But
- 2:24Speaker 1: if you're at a job and you make no money
- 2:26Speaker 1: but you're passionate, should you should you leave to go
- 2:28Speaker 1: somewhere else just for the money. That was a whole
- 2:30Speaker 1: discussion that we had this morning, and that was my story.
- 2:33Speaker 1: I mean, I did this for nothing for many years
- 2:35Speaker 1: and then eventually it came. But there was some really
- 2:38Speaker 1: trying times.
- 2:39Speaker 3: You know.
- 2:39Speaker 1: If you know my story, my family had to sit
- 2:41Speaker 1: me down and be like, bro, we love you justin
- 2:44Speaker 1: I love you, but you've got to give up here.
- 2:45Speaker 1: You got to make money. You know, you have a
- 2:48Speaker 1: wife and you want to start a family, you want
- 2:50Speaker 1: to buy a house, you want to live the American dream.
- 2:52Speaker 1: Well you got to make some dough. Kid, you're making
- 2:54Speaker 1: minimum wage. You're actually losing money driving down there every day,
- 2:58Speaker 1: getting up early, not making an money. Flippenberg is at
- 3:01Speaker 1: friendli'es like, you got to do something here, and I
- 3:03Speaker 1: just said, no, it's gonna happen. It's gonna happen. Just
- 3:07Speaker 1: I got to keep pushing forward, and I did, and
- 3:10Speaker 1: it did work out for me. And I'm super grateful
- 3:12Speaker 1: for that. And you know, my wife and I never
- 3:14Speaker 1: forget where we came from. You know, we remember, we
- 3:16Speaker 1: remember when we had nothing, you know, obviously an addiction,
- 3:19Speaker 1: but then when we got cleaned. You know, we rented
- 3:21Speaker 1: rooms at rooming houses. You know, when we first got together,
- 3:23Speaker 1: I was I had a room that I rented for
- 3:25Speaker 1: one hundred dollars a week, and she would come over
- 3:27Speaker 1: there every single day. We would watch movies and we'd
- 3:30Speaker 1: cuddle in my twin bed, Okay, dreaming of like one
- 3:34Speaker 1: day having a better life where we could afford things,
- 3:37Speaker 1: or not having a car. I remember my wife got
- 3:40Speaker 1: her first car, her lee first legal car. I went
- 3:43Speaker 1: with her. She had money saved from working at Friendly
- 3:46Speaker 1: serving Tables, and she got a Honda Cord that was used.
- 3:50Speaker 1: Like I remember those things. So when people see what
- 3:53Speaker 1: we have now, you know, it can be easy. Like here,
- 3:56Speaker 1: I am mister fucking you know big house guy, with
- 3:58Speaker 1: all my toll. He's in all these things, and you know,
- 4:01Speaker 1: I drive a BMW and mister cool. It took a
- 4:05Speaker 1: lot of work to get here, you know, and I'm
- 4:07Speaker 1: super grateful for that. So that was a cool moment
- 4:09Speaker 1: this morning. Other than that, yeah, it's a rainy Thursday.
- 4:14Speaker 1: It was at baseball last night. It was freezing cold,
- 4:17Speaker 1: but we won second game in a row. Able went
- 4:19Speaker 1: two for three, three RBIs. He's yet to strike out yet.
- 4:23Speaker 1: He uh, he hits the ball, that's for sure. He
- 4:25Speaker 1: had a walk to He's been swinging at some high balls,
- 4:28Speaker 1: which I don't like, but sometimes he hits them. When
- 4:31Speaker 1: he hits them, I'm like, okay. But when he swings
- 4:33Speaker 1: at the real high ball and misses it, I'm like, dude,
- 4:35Speaker 1: what are we doing? You got to keep your eye
- 4:37Speaker 1: on the ball. But he's doing great. And Saturday he'll
- 4:39Speaker 1: have another game and hopefully he will pitch, and he's
- 4:42Speaker 1: playing his best friend, Liam, my best one of my
- 4:44Speaker 1: best friend Mike's son. His son, Liam is Able's best friend.
