Who Doesn't Love Meetings? · Billy & Lisa in the Morning: The After Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, the meetings are back. The meetings are back. What up?
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Everybody have to show podcasts? Yeah, the Thursday meetings have returned.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: The boss took a while off, like several weeks we
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: did not have a Thursday meeting, but he called one today,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: which is fine. I don't mind the meetings, I know.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: I joke that a lot of them could be emails,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: which I think they could, but I also, like, you know,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: meeting with the team. It's the entire kiss one away
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: staff and yeah, he just goes over everything going on
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: at the station. I know that because he had texted
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: me a couple of times earlier in the week that
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: he had some good news to share as far as ratings,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: and it's actually pretty wild, man, It's actually great. It's
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: better than get good news than bad news. Not that
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: we get a lot of bad news, but yeah, the
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: ratings are doing very well, some of our highest listening
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: great numbers in years pretty much. So I'm pretty sure
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: that's why the meeting meeting is happening. He wants to
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: showcase that to all of us. And also the secret sound,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: which looks like it's going to be another big jackpot.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Eventually no one is getting it. They keep guessing the
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: same thing, and you know, we like to have fun
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: with it, but you got to figure, man, for all
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: the people that are playing along, that are listening you
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: know at seven ten, eight ten, two ten, four ten,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: that check the incorrect guesses when we post them, there's
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: probably ten times as many more people that aren't doing
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: that that get in their car, they turn on the radio,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: they hear they have a chance to win all that money,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: and they just call and say what it is, and
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: usually it's a repeat guests. So it sucks for them,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: but it's good news for everybody else that's trying to
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: get through, which by the way, is very hard to do.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: It's very very hard. I mean, we have six lines.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at them right now. We have six lines.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: And you know, in the morning, for example, between seven
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: am and eight am, which is the highest listening, that's
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: when the most people are listening. There's upwards of eight
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: hundred thousand to a million people that are tuning in
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: on the radio. So that's why it's like nearly impossible.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: It's like winning the lottery, very very hard. So we'll
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: be back tomorrow with that. It's Friday, short week, love,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: a short week. And this weekend, Saturday, I'm going with
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Bill Costa to a MMA fight, a cage fighting match
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: in Manchester, New Hampshire. He invited me to it, so
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: that should be fun. He's gonna pick me up Saturday
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: and uh yeah, hopefully we'll get some food and watch.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: This fight will be ringside, which I don't believe I've
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: ever been to a UFC or an MMA fight. I
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: don't believe I ever have, so it could get bloody,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: but it'll be fun riding with Bill, and you know,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: spending some time with Uncle Bill is always a good time.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: He's a good time man. He is like when people
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: talk trash about Bill Costa, which isn't often because he's
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: so beloved in the city. Everybody loves him. But the
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: people that have never met him that might, you know,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: which I get, you know, judge him on things he
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: says on the radio or even going back to the
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Maddie days right where he was positions at this like rich, snobby,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I'm better than guy, which is pretty much for a joke.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, he is rich, He's not like snotty, even
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: though he says snotty things. But he's a gentle giant man. Well, gentle,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: smaller person. I should say, like, he's the nicest guy ever,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: will help anybody. He's done so much for me, Like
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: you don't even know he's done so much for me.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: I'd share a story, but I shared a story on
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: the air if you know, you know. But it had
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: to do with when I bought my last house. I
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: was selling a house and buying a house and something
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: happened where he like offered to help me, and it
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: was a huge moment for me. I didn't need to
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: like take the help that he gave, but just the
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: fact that he was willing to do so. And then
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: you know, when all the changes happened on the show
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: over the years, the several things, right, all the different
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: ones over the years, going back to like Maddie leaving.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: You know, my friends will hit me up and be like,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: you know, you're mentioned on Reddit, and so you go
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: to Reddit, which is a dangerous place. I do love Reddit.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I get a lot of information on Reddit threads, but
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: if you go on there, you can see you know,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: people's talk, you know what I mean, They just say whatever,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: and like that was one of the things they said
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: about me. You know, they were saying all types of
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: stuff like crazy stuff, I'm a terrible father, whatever, whatever.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: But the one thing that got me was, Oh, Justin's
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: on there talking about how Billy did this for him
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: and had to do with money, and like who says that,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Like who admits that. I thought it was a powerful moment.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna say it again, but I thought
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: it was. It meant a lot to me. You know
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: that I had asked Bill for this help and he
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: was like, yeah, of course. But I think that our
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: friendship goes much deeper than money. You know, money is
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: the root of all evil, it really is. You hear
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: that all the time. It's so true. And I love money.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I want to make more money, but money's not everything.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: And I think with Billy. Sometimes people look at Billy
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: and they just see money, right, they just see this guy.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: But you also got to look at where he came from.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Like he came from nothing. He grew up in Cambridge
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: in a triple decker, poor, poor as they come. He
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: put himself through college, He got himself on the radio
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: while he started djaying and literally did it all himself
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: with zero, zero help. And he's been on the air
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Kiss Went Away since nineteen eighty one. You know, Maddy
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: obviously started in eighty two as the morning guy, but
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Billy was already on the air in the afternoons. You know,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: he would kind of like fill in, and then Maddy
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: grabbed him. You know, I think in nineteen ninety, I
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: don't even know the year that he came on the
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: morning show. What Billy, Maddy grabbed him, but he was
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: already on Kiss went Away. So let's do the math.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Nineteen eighty one twenty twenty six, that's forty five years
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: he's worked here. So and he's done television the whole
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: a lot of the time, so you know, he's earned
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: that money. It's not like he was born into the
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: money and is a trust fund kid. So I don't know.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: I just like to get Billy's back. He gets this
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: sometimes he gets some slack and I'm like, dude, have
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: you ever met this guy? Like he's the nicest guy ever.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know, just some thoughts. So I hope you
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: guys are doing well. I hope you are bracing for
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: potential snow storms this weekend. Hopefully not because I just
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: got the snow taking off my roof, the ice cleared
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: out of my gutters, which sucks. Got the bill for
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: that not fun. You know, there's benefits to renting and
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: there's benefits to owning. And one of the non benefits
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: of owning is when shit breaks, you got to pay
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: for it. You got to make sure you have the
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: money put aside, and luckily I do. You know, I
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: have a slush fund put aside for moments like this
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: where things happen because you don't know the heat can
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: go plumbing, even though I do know a plumber. Shout
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: out to Alan, who has helped me tremendously. We had
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: him on this podcast. He's like my go to guys.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: So many I've had like issues with pipes leaking toilets
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: because we have two houses. My mother in law lives downstairs,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: and he comes right over and he helps me and
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: doesn't charge me a dollar, which I appreciate. So Alan,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: if you're listening to this podcast, which you may be,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: thank you for all that you do. My return to
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: him is he can use my sauna any time, and
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: he comes over pretty much every single night and we
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: do the sauna. It's quite the bonding experience. We do
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: the sauna and we do the ice, and yes, it's weird, right,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: My wife says to me one time, what do you
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: guys do in the sauna? Do you guys talk or
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: is it completely silent? Is it meditative? And I said,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: we talk. That's what we do. We get down there.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: We talk about our days. We talk about the old days,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: you know, because he is the same story as me. Right,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: We've been through the same bullshit. So we talk about
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: the old days, the current days. We talk about our relationship,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: our wives, our kids, you know, stuff like that. And
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: then you know, we do the ice and the hot tub.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: It's weird when I say it, but let me tell you,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: it is life changing. It is absolutely life changing. It's
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: one of the best things that I've ever done for
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: myself was getting the sauna. I'm so happy that I
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: got it. So, yeah, that's about it. I'm going to
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: deal with the house stuff. I have more people at
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: my house today working on the house because of yeah,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: the ice dams, the leaking in my sailing. It's unfortunate,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: but hopefully it all wi. So I gotta jump into
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: this meeting. I got three minutes to get some commercials
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: produced and then get to this meeting and uh check
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: in with everybody and their haircut day. It's Thursday. You
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: know what time it is. Anyway, tomorrow's Friday. We talked
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: by it.
