- 0:00Speaker 1: All right, Gianna, plug those headphones in. Are you ready
- 0:02Speaker 1: to go? There? Kid? All right, welcome to the After
- 0:05Speaker 1: Show podcast. I'm justin And typically this would have been
- 0:08Speaker 1: a solo podcast, but a couple of things going on
- 0:11Speaker 1: now now Gianna with the after Show obviously, you know,
- 0:14Speaker 1: there's been through many changes and all that stuff, and
- 0:17Speaker 1: then it was just me, right, and so I didn't
- 0:19Speaker 1: know where to keep it going or whatever, and people
- 0:21Speaker 1: were like, no, keep it going, yeah, because we've built
- 0:23Speaker 1: this army, this after show army, and they said, you know,
- 0:27Speaker 1: you can do the show yourself or have guests. So
- 0:29Speaker 1: that's what I've been doing. And I'm the solo ones.
- 0:32Speaker 1: What I do is I just try to like spit game.
- 0:34Speaker 1: I guess, you know, things that I've gone through are
- 0:37Speaker 1: things that are happening in my relationship or fatherhood or life. Yeah,
- 0:41Speaker 1: and people seem to like it. Yes, son, I was
- 0:43Speaker 1: gonna do that today, but I'm not feeling that well.
- 0:46Speaker 1: I feel okay, it's just my voice, it's your voice. Yeah.
- 0:49Speaker 1: So I literally opened the door and I go, Gihanna,
- 0:50Speaker 1: let's go. I need I need you to help me
- 0:52Speaker 1: out a little bit.
- 0:53Speaker 2: Here.
- 0:53Speaker 3: I got you, I got you.
- 0:55Speaker 1: How are things going good?
- 0:56Speaker 3: Really good? I am having the best time. I told
- 1:00Speaker 3: you I'm a crier. I almost cried today actually on
- 1:03Speaker 3: the air.
- 1:03Speaker 1: Off on the air, what.
- 1:05Speaker 3: You played a talk back from somebody so nice and
- 1:07Speaker 3: she just said, like Gianna said my name correctly. Yeah,
- 1:11Speaker 3: you're doing such a good job. Your energy is contagious.
- 1:13Speaker 3: And I was like, it just made me want to cry.
- 1:17Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's listener Shannon. She's very, very very nice, Shannon.
- 1:20Speaker 3: And I love you, thank you. Yeah, it's been great again,
- 1:23Speaker 3: I've said a million times. I was very anxious to
- 1:26Speaker 3: fill in for Lisa, just because of the current climate
- 1:29Speaker 3: of the radio station. I knew people were going to
- 1:31Speaker 3: be a little crazy. People still are a little crazy
- 1:33Speaker 3: on social They're like, what the fuck are you doing there?
- 1:36Speaker 3: Get Lisa back. I'm like, she's coming, don't worry. Tomorrow's
- 1:39Speaker 3: my last day on the show and she'll be back
- 1:41Speaker 3: and it's fine. But I'm just glad everyone trusts me
- 1:44Speaker 3: to yep.
- 1:45Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's what you do. Yeah, yep, yep. You
- 1:48Speaker 1: could do what I do is be petty and just
- 1:51Speaker 1: block all the people that say negative things.
- 1:53Speaker 3: I've thought about that, but like.
- 1:55Speaker 1: Yeah, hold on, hold on, this is funny. So one
- 1:57Speaker 1: of the I had said to Gianna last week, I said,
- 1:59Speaker 1: you have to pare yourself for negative comments and stuff
- 2:02Speaker 1: because they had been coming. And then, you know, I
- 2:04Speaker 1: think a video posted on Monday, and you know, I
- 2:07Speaker 1: happen to look. I didn't see any comments or maybe
- 2:10Speaker 1: like a couple of good ones. And so then Gianna
- 2:12Speaker 1: I said, oh, doing pretty good here, and you go, wow,
- 2:14Speaker 1: there's like four or five on the video. I go,
- 2:16Speaker 1: know they weren't Seeah, they were, And I realized I
- 2:19Speaker 1: had blocked those people. Yeah you did, so I didn't
- 2:21Speaker 1: see them.
- 2:21Speaker 3: Oh I saw everything.
- 2:23Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 2:23Speaker 3: My thing is I block people if it's really bad,
- 2:28Speaker 3: if they're like harassing me, they're being creepy. But when
- 2:32Speaker 3: it's just like oh they're just talking to talk or
- 2:35Speaker 3: commenting just because they have no life, I'm like, you're
- 2:37Speaker 3: helping my engagement. Yeah, I mean my social skyrocketed just
- 2:41Speaker 3: from being on the Morning show this week. It's crazy.
- 2:43Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't. I try not to block people. I
- 2:45Speaker 1: try to do the same. I try it to block
- 2:47Speaker 1: people that are just stating their opinion, like they're hurt
- 2:50Speaker 1: that there were changes. Yeah, when he was laid off,
- 2:52Speaker 1: like they heard about that course, but they still listen
- 2:54Speaker 1: to the show and they're gonna give it a shot,
- 2:56Speaker 1: you know. And even if they give it a shot
- 2:57Speaker 1: and they're like, listen, it's not from me, that's okay.
- 2:59Speaker 1: It's the ones that just like super mean.
- 3:01Speaker 3: You know, people are so fucking mean.
- 3:04Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm mean, you must get it a lot too,
- 3:07Speaker 1: because well, not a lot, but as a female, you know,
- 3:11Speaker 1: not a ton.
- 3:13Speaker 3: I will say, I'm very thankful that I haven't gotten
- 3:17Speaker 3: that much hate over the years. It's been like a
- 3:18Speaker 3: select few. My most recent little mishap was with a listener. Actually,
- 3:24Speaker 3: she's always DM me like I love you, I love
- 3:26Speaker 3: the show, I love my god, you're amazing. Da da da.
- 3:28Speaker 3: And then she did the thing where she meant to
- 3:31Speaker 3: send a message to somebody else about me, but she
- 3:34Speaker 3: sent it to me, and I was like, oh, it
- 3:37Speaker 3: took everything in me not to be like you bleep
- 3:41Speaker 3: bleep bleep.
- 3:41Speaker 1: And it was talking shit. Yeah.
- 3:43Speaker 3: She was just like, oh, Like, it was right after
- 3:45Speaker 3: my my surgery, my breast augmentation, and so I was
- 3:48Speaker 3: already feeling like you would think i'd be like I'm
- 3:52Speaker 3: on top of the world. Da da da, But I
- 3:53Speaker 3: was like, oh, I'm still not comfortable. I'm numb, I'm
- 3:55Speaker 3: in pain. I don't know what looks good on me.
- 3:57Speaker 3: I don't want to be too showy. I was like
- 3:59Speaker 3: in my head about the surgery and it was like
- 4:01Speaker 3: the first outfit I had worn after the surgery. I
- 4:03Speaker 3: posted a mirror selfie and she's like, god, that whatever.
- 4:06Speaker 3: She said that skirt looks awful on her, and I
- 4:09Speaker 3: was like, okay, hey, it's me, and she was like, oh,
- 4:12Speaker 3: I didn't mean it at all. You know, I love you.
- 4:14Speaker 3: And then she sent me a message this week and
- 4:16Speaker 3: she was like, I love listening to you in the morning,
- 4:18Speaker 3: and I just I didn't answer, but I didn't block
- 4:20Speaker 3: her because I'm like, you keep messaging me, you keep
- 4:22Speaker 3: liking my shit. Yeah, you can stay, you can stay.
- 4:24Speaker 1: It's petty. It's petty to block people, and I know that. Yeah.
- 4:27Speaker 1: I actually did reverse a bunch of blocks because oh
- 4:30Speaker 1: you did me. Yeah. I initially I was getting talkbacks
- 4:32Speaker 1: from people that and I felt so bad. They go, look,
- 4:35Speaker 1: you blocked me. I really don't know why, but like,
- 4:39Speaker 1: I love following you, and I love able and Gema
- 4:41Speaker 1: and I love following your life. Yeah, I understand that
- 4:44Speaker 1: people were just upset. I get it.
- 4:46Speaker 3: I get it too. But on the same hand, you
- 4:49Speaker 3: got to just think like a human and you have
- 4:52Speaker 3: to humanize us as people, like we were obviously going
- 4:57Speaker 3: through it when everything happened, Like what do we have
- 4:59Speaker 3: to do with any right? Like, and then you have
- 5:01Speaker 3: people I was pulled into the Reddit shit being like, oh,
- 5:05Speaker 3: I can't believe they didn't get rid of Gianna instead
- 5:08Speaker 3: I hate her, and like that really hurt me. That
- 5:11Speaker 3: really really hurt me, because like I'm just a people pleaser.
- 5:14Speaker 3: I want to please everybody. My thing in life that
- 5:17Speaker 3: I hate the most is making other people upset, whether
- 5:20Speaker 3: I did it like by accident or whatever. So it's
- 5:22Speaker 3: like that really like hurt my feelings. So that's like,
- 5:26Speaker 3: so to protect our own brains, the block is the
- 5:31Speaker 3: best route sometimes, and I hope people can understand that.
- 5:34Speaker 3: But it's nice that you unblock them, and it's nice
- 5:35Speaker 3: that they like kind of apologize, Yeah I.
- 5:38Speaker 1: Did, I did, And I do understand. I don't approve
- 5:42Speaker 1: of writing negative shits online, but I get that we're
- 5:46Speaker 1: a part of people's lives. They listen every day. We're
- 5:49Speaker 1: like family. We talk, we talk like we're family, and
- 5:52Speaker 1: when there's a change so abrupt like that, you get angry.
- 5:55Speaker 1: I understand completely, but I've explained this before not to
- 5:58Speaker 1: keep beating a dead horse. This is what happens in
- 6:01Speaker 1: media in general.
- 6:02Speaker 3: Sucks.
- 6:03Speaker 1: It sucks, happens on TV, it happens in radio. People
- 6:06Speaker 1: at TV shows, you know what I mean, They just
- 6:08Speaker 1: like it's a corporate thing. There's like, these are the
- 6:10Speaker 1: changes we're making. Move on.
- 6:12Speaker 3: Yeah, And also, like I don't think people understand that
- 6:16Speaker 3: when the layoffs happen, because they've happened multiple times over
- 6:20Speaker 3: the last few years, we sit here and like shit
- 6:23Speaker 3: ourselves because it could be us. It's like, way, wait, wait,
- 6:26Speaker 3: Like you know, the word, the word spreads like wildfire,
- 6:28Speaker 3: and then it's like, okay, wait, it is it coming
- 6:31Speaker 3: this way? Like who, God, I could be fucking next.
- 6:34Speaker 3: God only knows that. God truly only knows, and it
- 6:37Speaker 3: comes out of nowhere. So it's like we're so blindsided
- 6:41Speaker 3: by ever. It's just it's crazy. It's crazy.
- 6:43Speaker 1: Do you want to hear my thoughts on that. I
- 6:44Speaker 1: get my attitude towards that because I think about that too,
- 6:47Speaker 1: and this is how you should think too. Okay, I'm
- 6:50Speaker 1: gonna spit a little game at you. Okay, if that
- 6:52Speaker 1: ever does happen, Okay, don't look at as a negative, right,
- 6:57Speaker 1: So if it ever were to happened, I myself would
- 7:00Speaker 1: be sad and I would be upset, of course, of course.
- 7:03Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, we won, yeah, right,
- 7:07Speaker 1: because we grew up here in this city. It's not
- 7:09Speaker 1: like we're working in radio in a different city. We
- 7:11Speaker 1: grew up listening to this radio station and look where.
- 7:13Speaker 3: We made it, Like, oh my god, I did it.
- 7:15Speaker 1: They can never take that away from us never, you know.
- 7:17Speaker 1: So at the end of the day, it will be sad,
- 7:20Speaker 1: but it is a victory exactly that we even made
- 7:22Speaker 1: it here.
- 7:22Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, it is it really, It's very true.
- 7:25Speaker 3: It's like I never even thought I'd be here a
- 7:28Speaker 3: b even if I did think someday I'll be on
- 7:31Speaker 3: kiss one A wait, I'm like, oh, probably won't happen
- 7:33Speaker 3: until I'm in my thirties forties. I'm gonna have to
- 7:35Speaker 3: work my ass off for years and years, probably start
- 7:39Speaker 3: in the middle of nowhere in Kansas until I get
- 7:42Speaker 3: to that point. It's like, wait, I'm already here, Like,
- 7:44Speaker 3: like you said, God, forbid. Of course it's going to
- 7:46Speaker 3: be easier said than done if that ever happened to
- 7:48Speaker 3: oh to be like, oh I did it, Like that's amazing,
- 7:50Speaker 3: Like of course we're gonna grieve and again, God forbid.
- 7:54Speaker 3: But sometimes I don't even like to talk about it
- 7:56Speaker 3: because I'm like, what if I'm accidentally manifesting.
- 8:00Speaker 1: Now? The only thing that we can do is just
- 8:02Speaker 1: keep showing up, keep working hard, keep giving our best.
- 8:05Speaker 1: I mean, these are basic life things, and I'm not
- 8:08Speaker 1: saying that's going to prevent it from happening totally, but
- 8:10Speaker 1: at least if it does happen, you know that, Like
- 8:12Speaker 1: your side of the street is clean, Yeah, and you
- 8:14Speaker 1: did what you had to do. Yeah, that's what I do.
- 8:16Speaker 1: You know, I love working on this show. It's my life.
- 8:20Speaker 3: You're fucking great at it. Oh, thank you very much,
- 8:23Speaker 3: Like fantastic. I'm not even trying to kiss your ass.
- 8:24Speaker 3: I the way I've watched you work the last four days,
- 8:27Speaker 3: I'm I knew you were a hard worker. I knew
- 8:30Speaker 3: everything you did being on the afternoon show, but I
- 8:32Speaker 3: didn't know the extent. I've never seen it, so to
- 8:35Speaker 3: see it, I'm just mind blown. You You do so much.
- 8:38Speaker 1: You can come on the after show anytime. Just keep talking. Yeah, no,
- 8:43Speaker 1: I know, I just I don't know. Man. I think
- 8:47Speaker 1: that I've been through a lot of stuff in my life.
- 8:49Speaker 1: It's well documented and I think that I'm blessed because
- 8:53Speaker 1: I've seen the other side. So the fact that I'm
- 8:56Speaker 1: here motivates me even more, right because I'm like, look
- 8:59Speaker 1: where I made it. Keep this going. And like I said,
- 9:02Speaker 1: I never thought i'd be here either, just like you did.
- 9:04Speaker 1: Never thought you would be here. I never thought that. Yeah,
- 9:06Speaker 1: you know, I remember like being in jail listening to
- 9:09Speaker 1: the radio, not ever thinking that it could would happen,
- 9:13Speaker 1: or that I could happen. So it can happen for anybody.
- 9:17Speaker 3: Wild.
- 9:17Speaker 1: That's the biggest message too, that I give to people
- 9:19Speaker 1: when I go and share my story. Like adolescents, I
- 9:23Speaker 1: do a bunch of that stuff. Whatever. I don't need
- 9:24Speaker 1: to talk about it and brag about it, but I
- 9:26Speaker 1: want to make a point that I make that point
- 9:28Speaker 1: to them, especially if they have criminal records or they
- 9:31Speaker 1: have broken homes and they have no but no support,
- 9:34Speaker 1: Like it's never too late. As long as you're alive.
- 9:37Speaker 1: If you have a criminal record, doesn't matter. You can
- 9:39Speaker 1: do it. You can live your dream. Yeah, that's the
- 9:41Speaker 1: biggest message it is. You know what I mean, because
- 9:43Speaker 1: look at me. Yeah, I'm telling you.
- 9:45Speaker 3: Prime example right there. But yeah, it's been a great
- 9:47Speaker 3: week and I appreciate you guys and the listeners. Fun, right,
- 9:51Speaker 3: it's so much fun. I'm honestly gonna be sad when
- 9:56Speaker 3: the show ends tomorrow. I'm gonna be really upset. I'm
- 9:59Speaker 3: not gonna lie like this is. I don't care about
- 10:01Speaker 3: the three am wake up. It's been worth every second.
- 10:03Speaker 1: Yeah, truly. Well, it's kind of gonna be like like
- 10:06Speaker 1: the billion Mikey thing, you know where if Lisa needs
- 10:09Speaker 1: to be out, you can jump in like Mikey does
- 10:11Speaker 1: for Billy Gladly. The issue is who the fuck fills
- 10:15Speaker 1: in for me?
- 10:17Speaker 3: I know, are you going anywhere? Justin any times?
- 10:20Speaker 1: No? But I can't. I have to come in. I
- 10:22Speaker 1: always come in, no matter what I know. I don't
- 10:24Speaker 1: ever take any time off.
- 10:26Speaker 3: That's right. That makes me sad because who would fill.
- 10:29Speaker 1: In for you? Producer Riley would be the best bet
- 10:32Speaker 1: I think I.
- 10:32Speaker 3: Was gonna say. She's probably the only one that knows
- 10:35Speaker 3: how to do what you do.
- 10:37Speaker 1: I've trained her to kind of know the majority of it. Yep.
- 10:40Speaker 1: And she's doing a fantastic job on the board.
- 10:42Speaker 3: Oh my god, unbelievable.
- 10:45Speaker 1: I mean you see what she's doing when she's running
- 10:47Speaker 1: back and forth answers.
- 10:48Speaker 3: And then doing the traffic on top. I mean, you
- 10:51Speaker 3: guys are just it's such a well oiled machine.
- 10:53Speaker 1: Yeah, we're hustling, you are, We're hustling. So one more day,
- 10:57Speaker 1: one day in the morning. We'll have some fun tomorrow.
- 10:59Speaker 1: So remind you can always leave a talk back for
- 11:01Speaker 1: the after show and I will play them. Actually, I
- 11:03Speaker 1: should get to one right now before we go, because
- 11:05Speaker 1: I keep forgetting I'm sorry. So okay, So the question
- 11:08Speaker 1: is oll, the thing is that people want me to
- 11:09Speaker 1: have guests, not just like guests like you, but also
- 11:13Speaker 1: other guests like.
- 11:15Speaker 2: Okay, I know this is probably a super far fetched,
- 11:18Speaker 2: like I guess request, but one person I would love
- 11:22Speaker 2: to have on the podcast would be your wife, Jen,
- 11:25Speaker 2: which I know she works every day so is probably
- 11:28Speaker 2: not feasible at all, But if it ever was, I
- 11:33Speaker 2: feel like that would be so fun.
- 11:35Speaker 1: So my wife, Yes, that would be fun.
- 11:37Speaker 3: That'd be fun, and you could do it at home, Yeah,
- 11:39Speaker 3: record it at home. You have the technology right, and
- 11:42Speaker 3: that would be really fun.
- 11:44Speaker 1: That is a good idea. We could tell our story
- 11:46Speaker 1: and she could tell like everybody about me. Yeah, and
- 11:50Speaker 1: what it's like to be married to me. Oh yeah,
- 11:52Speaker 1: it's not easy.
- 11:53Speaker 3: We need to hear it.
- 11:54Speaker 1: Trust me, it's not easy.
- 11:56Speaker 3: You're self aware.
- 11:57Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, so I'll work on that, but everybody
- 12:00Speaker 1: else leave a talk back. And tomorrow, no promise of
- 12:02Speaker 1: a podcast, cause it's John And tomorrow Friday, you're going
- 12:05Speaker 1: to see craziness. Fridays are super busy, I've heard, so
- 12:09Speaker 1: prepare yourself. I'm bucking up and after show Amy, we
- 12:12Speaker 1: will talk soon. Bye bye,
