  Speaker 1: After show podcast, What Up? Welcome in Army. It is Wednesday,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: April twenty second. Let's get this thing rolling. The show
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: just ended. It was a good show. Today. We got
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: the update on producer Riley and the guy she's seeing.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: They had a third date. She broke it all down.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: But she did that on the podcast yesterday. That was
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: the early exclusive that the Army members get. That's the
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: benefit of the after show. You get exclusive things. You
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: get stuff that you're not going to get on the air.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: So remember you can always join lea talkback on the
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: iHeart app. You have any questions or comments, I'll pretty
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: much talk about anything. Trying to think about something I
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: would not talk about. I guess the personal lives of
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: the people that work here. If it's too personal Billy
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: I really don't care about. But if it's too personal
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: with him, I won't answer that either. But anything else,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: nothing's off the table. You know, the after show Army
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: are my people. You guys are my people. So we're
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: an exclusive club. So remember you can send in your talkbacks.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: But the producer Rally thing was great. You know, I'm
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: so happy for her. You know, she's in her early twenties,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: she's dating and things seem to be going well. Who
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: knows what's going to happen. I mean, honestly, it's I
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: feel like I feel like relationships work and sometimes they
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: don't work. And it's very early, early on for her.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: But I think the piece of advice that I did
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: give her was just if it doesn't work out, which
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: I hope it does, but if it doesn't, we just
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: learned from mistakes. You know, That's what life's about. That's
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: what I tell my son, you know, learn from your mistakes.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: It's okay to make mistakes. You're going to make them
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: a lot thousands of times, but don't make it a pattern.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Don't keep making the same mistake over and over. So
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: if he does something bad and it's his first time,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: I will give him a pass and I'll talk to
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: him and say, Okay, you didn't know any better, or
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: you had the thought and you were impulsive and you
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: did it, but now you know that you can't do that,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: so if you do it again, then you're in trouble.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: So that's kind of a parenting thing that I do
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: with him, and actually it has worked because this has
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: been several things that he has done. I won't get
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: specific just kids stuff where I give him the talk
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: and he has not done it again. So shout out
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: to young Abel. He's doing good. He's having his state
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: testing this week, today, tomorrow, and Friday. It's actually cool.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: It's not called the m CAST. I think that's Massachusetts.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: I didn't take the m CAST, but it's the state testing.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: So I had to write notes for him and submit
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: them kind of secretly to the school. So they're gonna
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: hand him the notes right before he does the testing,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: and they're just like little feel good, you know, motivational
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: things like I love you, I'm so proud of you,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: You're You're a smart kid. You gotta do great. So
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: he can kind of read them because I guess it's
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: a lot of anxiety for these kids to do these testing,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: you know. I mean tests are hard either way. I
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: know people do get anxiety overdoing tests. I never did.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: I don't think. I kind of had a good, good
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: confidence in school. I did okay in school. You know,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: I was the kid that ended up in alternative school,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: and I would be in class with you know, kids
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: that had real learning disabilities, I mean really bad, like
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: maybe they had add ADHD or dyslexia, or whatever it
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: may be, and you know they were there for that
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: and also for bad behavior either or I was there
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: for bad behavior. But I would be in class and
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I would have to pretend to basically not know anything.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: You know. The teacher would be trying to, you know,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: explain something, and I would know the answer to a
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: lot of things, but I would never raise my hand
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: and I would actually act like I didn't know to
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: kind of fit in. You know how sick that sounds.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: It's crazy. When I was explaining to Billy one time
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: about the school that I went to, it was called
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: the Garage. It was right down the street in Malden.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: It was in the basement of a pocking garage. I
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: may have shared this story before. If I have, forgive me.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: But the best way to explain it is, you know,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: we'd be in class and the teacher would start, you know,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: doing a lesson and they would say, okay, for example,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: see this country rate here on the map. He'd say,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: you know, Mike, what country is this? And Mike would
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: be like, fuck you, And he would say, okay, Mike,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: thank you for participating. Justin what's this country right here?
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Like That's how it went every day. You know, we
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: were all just a bunch of messed up kids. But
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: I always want to think back to that. I'm like,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: what was I thinking? You know, I've always been book smart.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: I guess you could say I like to think of
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: myself as street smart and book smart. But I just
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: picked up things. Well. I was always a good reader.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: I could always I was a good speller. I wasn't
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: spelling bee Be's as a kid. And you know, I
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: just picked up reading again, and I'm banging out books
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: left and right. Oh my god. Now I'm on The
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Girl with a Dragon Tattoo. That's a good book, recommended
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: by my buddy Alan. And you know what he told me,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: it's a slow burn in the beginning. You got to
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: stick with it. And he was so right. The first
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: hundred pages so slow. I never saw the movie, but
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: the first hundred pages. I'm like, I got to like
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: fifty in and the next day I'm like, I don't
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: even want to pick this thing up. But I remembered
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: what he said to keep reading, and I'm glad I did.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: So I'm like one hundred and fifty pages in and
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: now it is flying. So Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: I know it's an oldie. You've probably right it or
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: saw the movie. But I'm behind on this. I just
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: picked up reading again. I'm way way behind. So anyway,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: I gotta go get blood work done at the doctor.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: I have an appointment next week, get a check up.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Blood work is so important to keep up on you
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: with your health. I try to get it every six months.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: I get all my panels done and like to kind
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: of see where I'm at because I want to live long.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: You never know what's gonna happen, but I know that's
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: one thing that I can control is my health, my diet, exercise,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: and monitoring my blood work to make sure I'm okay. Well,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: life's crazy like that, right, I mean, God forbid, but
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: any of us can get in the car and something
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: could happen in the car or doing anything. So I
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: don't know. I try to live my life one day
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: at a time, be a good human, treat people good,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: and enjoy this life that we have right here, you know.
• 6:06
