Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Okay, I'm here present for the after show podcast justin Yes.
- 0:04Speaker 1: A little bit late today eleven thirty had a meeting
- 0:07Speaker 1: after the show, and then I was working on a
- 0:09Speaker 1: bunch of stuff for the broadcast tomorrow, which is gonna
- 0:12Speaker 1: be at play Boston right outside the Garden with the
- 0:15Speaker 1: Morning Show and Gianna. It's gonna be I don't know
- 0:18Speaker 1: what you call that mashup of two shows, although I
- 0:21Speaker 1: think it's not gonna sound like a Vbros. Show. It's
- 0:23Speaker 1: gonna sound like the Billy and Lisa Show. At least
- 0:25Speaker 1: that's what they want. That's how they want me to
- 0:27Speaker 1: produce the show. So that's what we're doing. We'll do
- 0:29Speaker 1: some of the same things we do in the morning
- 0:31Speaker 1: in the afternoon, so you know, things like rail or
- 0:33Speaker 1: fake headlines and games and trivia and all that stuff
- 0:37Speaker 1: centered around Ariana Grande. So that should be fun. And
- 0:40Speaker 1: they got us tickets to go to the show, so
- 0:42Speaker 1: each of us go out a ticket. So we'll do
- 0:43Speaker 1: the broadcast and then we'll head in to see Ariana.
- 0:46Speaker 1: I've seen her before, so I'm looking forward to seeing
- 0:49Speaker 1: her again. You know. I'll stay, probably not to the end,
- 0:52Speaker 1: but I'll try to get out of there, you know,
- 0:55Speaker 1: maybe like three quarters of the way through, so I
- 0:58Speaker 1: can jump back on ninety three and I can go home.
- 1:00Speaker 1: But the good news is the next day is Friday,
- 1:02Speaker 1: and you know, we will have tickets to give away.
- 1:04Speaker 1: So if you want to try to get tickets, we'll
- 1:07Speaker 1: have a pair to give awaye it'll be like an
- 1:09Speaker 1: enter to wins. You just come down, hang out, see us,
- 1:11Speaker 1: meet us, and enter to win the tickets. And if
- 1:14Speaker 1: you're going too the show, make sure you stop by.
- 1:15Speaker 1: Play Boston is right outside the gardens front doors, so
- 1:19Speaker 1: you go up the escalator. It's right there on the right,
- 1:21Speaker 1: so you can go right in and then right out
- 1:24Speaker 1: into the show. But in all honesty, I am looking
- 1:27Speaker 1: forward to it. You know, live broadcasts are I think
- 1:30Speaker 1: their magic. I really do. And we have a great leader,
- 1:33Speaker 1: and that would be Bill Costa, who is the live
- 1:35Speaker 1: broadcast king. Obviously he's done live broadcasts his entire career.
- 1:40Speaker 1: We used to do him a lot more back in
- 1:41Speaker 1: the Maddie days, and really the reason we don't do
- 1:45Speaker 1: him now is because just honestly, the it's a staffing issue.
- 1:48Speaker 1: You know, there used to be a lot more people,
- 1:50Speaker 1: a lot more technical people and engineers, and now it's
- 1:53Speaker 1: kind of shrunk down and you have, you know, a
- 1:56Speaker 1: small group running multiple radio stations. So we still do
- 2:00Speaker 1: them and we still have people to do them, just
- 2:02Speaker 1: not as much, you know, because we have seven radio stations.
- 2:07Speaker 1: So you know, when we were doing them once a
- 2:09Speaker 1: month or even every week way back in the day,
- 2:12Speaker 1: we don't do it so much anymore. So it'll be fun.
- 2:15Speaker 1: And you know, if you can't make it to the show,
- 2:17Speaker 1: if you're not going to the show, or if you
- 2:18Speaker 1: can't come down and try to win tickets and see us,
- 2:20Speaker 1: you can always listen five to seven tomorrow. So I've
- 2:24Speaker 1: been a busy boy putting it all together because that's
- 2:28Speaker 1: what I do, right, that's my job. I produce and talk,
- 2:34Speaker 1: you know me like I like producing better that's my passion,
- 2:38Speaker 1: if you will. I never really wanted to be an
- 2:41Speaker 1: on air talent, but it just kind of fell into
- 2:43Speaker 1: my lap. I don't mind it. I like I like
- 2:46Speaker 1: talking to people. I like building connection. I like when
- 2:49Speaker 1: I meet people that listen to our show and maybe
- 2:52Speaker 1: I say something that resonates with somebody. I like that
- 2:55Speaker 1: a lot makes me feel good. And of course the
- 2:57Speaker 1: recovery stuff is always number one for me. Know that
- 3:00Speaker 1: I'm able to give that message out very very important.
- 3:03Speaker 1: But even if I say something funny, But you know
- 3:05Speaker 1: what really gets me is when someone likes a piece
- 3:08Speaker 1: of sound that I play. That's my true passion. That's
- 3:10Speaker 1: what I really really love. You know. I'm sure I've
- 3:14Speaker 1: explained this before, but I'm not a comedian. You know.
- 3:18Speaker 1: I like to think that I'm funny with my friends.
- 3:20Speaker 1: You know, we're always telling jokes, busting each other's chops,
- 3:23Speaker 1: all that stuff, and I'll have some good lines there,
- 3:25Speaker 1: but I'm not a comedian per se. Like Robin Shaw,
- 3:27Speaker 1: who we I had on the show today, she is
- 3:29Speaker 1: a comedian, right anybody Lenny Clark, these guys are comedians.
- 3:34Speaker 1: Matt Siegel comedian. Okay, I'm not that person. But how
- 3:38Speaker 1: I feel like I can be funny, And I'm not
- 3:40Speaker 1: saying I don't say funny things. I just don't have
- 3:42Speaker 1: the comedic brain. But how I can be funny is
- 3:45Speaker 1: through my audio clips and how I can piece those
- 3:48Speaker 1: together and drop those in. I love that more than anything,
- 3:53Speaker 1: you know. So I was like the Ariana thing. I'm like,
- 3:56Speaker 1: it's cool. You know, we go to the show part
- 3:59Speaker 1: of me is like, just produce it and just stay
- 4:01Speaker 1: home and I'll do everything. I'll pull all the sound
- 4:05Speaker 1: and then uh le, you know they can do It's
- 4:07Speaker 1: John is gonna be there too. It's Billy, Lisa, Gianna.
- 4:09Speaker 1: The show is Billy, Lisa and me. And you have
- 4:12Speaker 1: Billy Lisa and Gianna and I can stay home. I
- 4:15Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know what do you want me
- 4:17Speaker 1: to say? But I'll be there with the rest of
- 4:19Speaker 1: the crew and we'll do the broadcast and it will
- 4:21Speaker 1: be funny. So please come down. I'd love it if
- 4:23Speaker 1: you join me. What else is going on? Whole Foods
- 4:26Speaker 1: is open in Salem in Salem, New Hampshire, Tuscan Village.
- 4:30Speaker 1: I know you only care if you live near there,
- 4:32Speaker 1: but it's a big deal in the town. My wife
- 4:34Speaker 1: went down there. I got a talk back that the
- 4:36Speaker 1: line was crazy, a lot of cars. My wife went
- 4:39Speaker 1: down there. She said it wasn't that bad. She got
- 4:41Speaker 1: right in, found a parking spot. She's happy. She loves
- 4:44Speaker 1: Whole Foods, loves love loves. So yeah, I'll be going
- 4:48Speaker 1: to my gym at five. Hopefully the line's not too
- 4:50Speaker 1: crazy or the parking is not too crazy. Because I'm
- 4:54Speaker 1: doing a five o'clock Clouds, which is not normally what
- 4:56Speaker 1: I do. But there's a good class that I like
- 4:59Speaker 1: at that time, which if I can join, then I will.
- 5:03Speaker 1: You know, I put up a real yesterday of my
- 5:06Speaker 1: son boxing, you know, So while my son boxes, I
- 5:10Speaker 1: work out at the gym. So I had my regular gym,
- 5:12Speaker 1: which is Drive and then there's the boxing gym, which
- 5:15Speaker 1: is obviously centered around boxing, but they have weights and
- 5:19Speaker 1: they have cardio equipment, and it's really cool because one
- 5:21Speaker 1: of the deals is when you sign your kid up,
- 5:24Speaker 1: you're welcome to work out while the class is going on.
- 5:26Speaker 1: So it's kind of a bonus workout for me. Like
- 5:28Speaker 1: I'll work out early in the day and then I'll
- 5:30Speaker 1: go from four to five with my son while he
- 5:32Speaker 1: works out, I'll work out as well. Most of the time,
- 5:35Speaker 1: I'll just run on the treadmill, I'll walk on the treadmill,
- 5:37Speaker 1: or I'll stretch sometimes if I can't get the weightlifting
- 5:40Speaker 1: in earlier, I'll do that, but mostly just cardio. And
- 5:43Speaker 1: I like it because it's an added bonus. You know.
- 5:45Speaker 1: The first time I went and he told me that
- 5:47Speaker 1: the owner, I'm like, wow, that's cool. And I think
- 5:49Speaker 1: the very first boxing session, I just sat there. I
- 5:53Speaker 1: wanted to watch them, but I didn't work out, and
- 5:54Speaker 1: I thought to myself, this is a missed opportunity, like
- 5:57Speaker 1: I need to work out, it's right here. Why not?
- 6:02Speaker 1: So that's what I do. But then the other part
- 6:03Speaker 1: of that is my son watching me. You know he's
- 6:07Speaker 1: working out, he's not. He's into it when he gets there,
- 6:11Speaker 1: but the struggle is and I Okay. When he signed
- 6:16Speaker 1: up for boxing, I told him he had to go
- 6:18Speaker 1: two days a week. It's four days a week. You
- 6:20Speaker 1: can go as many days as you want. I said,
- 6:22Speaker 1: I wanted you to do two days a week. If
- 6:23Speaker 1: I sign you up, commit to two days a week,
- 6:25Speaker 1: no matter what. I'd prefer do one boxing day, one
- 6:28Speaker 1: strength and conditioning. So there's two and two right Monday, Wednesday,
- 6:31Speaker 1: strength and conditioning, Tuesday, Thursday boxing two days a week minimum.
- 6:34Speaker 1: You want to do more, great, but two is all
- 6:36Speaker 1: I ask because I want to start him slow. So
- 6:39Speaker 1: every week he tries to come up with an excuse. Right,
- 6:43Speaker 1: So he wakes up in the morning and he's like,
- 6:44Speaker 1: I want to go to boxing and h and right
- 6:47Speaker 1: away I told him, do not cry to me. Do not.
- 6:51Speaker 1: You committed, You shook my hand, You made a deal,
- 6:54Speaker 1: unless there is unless you're sick or something comes up,
- 6:57Speaker 1: or you know, if something like legitimately comes up, you know,
- 7:00Speaker 1: if there's something happened a couple weeks ago. I think
- 7:03Speaker 1: like one of his friends was visiting. I forget what
- 7:06Speaker 1: it was when I was like, you know what, take
- 7:08Speaker 1: it summertime. Go with your friend, no problem. This is
- 7:11Speaker 1: like a special circumstance. But you're not gonna skip for
- 7:15Speaker 1: nothing just to stay at the boys and girls club longer,
- 7:18Speaker 1: or to come home and ride around your bike. Like
- 7:20Speaker 1: that's not going to happen. You committed to two days,
- 7:22Speaker 1: and I'm really strict on that because I really want
- 7:25Speaker 1: to try to teach him the discipline, you know, not
- 7:28Speaker 1: just the discipline to work out, but also the commitment
- 7:31Speaker 1: part of it. Right, he's young. He doesn't understand that
- 7:34Speaker 1: when he shook my hand and made that deal. You know,
- 7:36Speaker 1: he's not a grown man. He doesn't know. But he's learning, okay.
- 7:40Speaker 1: And so it's funny. On every Sunday, I say, what
- 7:44Speaker 1: days do you want to go? So we look at
- 7:45Speaker 1: his schedule. Thursdays. He can't go right now because he
- 7:48Speaker 1: goes on field trips. So I said, what days would
- 7:51Speaker 1: you like to go? He said, hmm, I'll do Monday Tuesday,
- 7:55Speaker 1: which is perfect right, strength and conditioning and boxing. Monday
- 7:58Speaker 1: Tuesday done. So Monday was no problem. Tuesday, I'm at
- 8:03Speaker 1: work in the morning. He wakes up. I see the phone,
- 8:05Speaker 1: my phone ringing, so it's during a commercial break. I
- 8:08Speaker 1: answer it. It's a FaceTime and I answered, and I go,
- 8:11Speaker 1: this better not be about class today, and then he
- 8:13Speaker 1: starts with the yeah but dad, yeah, But I said, well,
- 8:17Speaker 1: do you have something else that you need to do? Well, no,
- 8:20Speaker 1: but no, and I go able, I'll see you at
- 8:23Speaker 1: three forty five, and he goes, okay. And then you
- 8:26Speaker 1: know what, I don't even care about that because once
- 8:29Speaker 1: he goes to class, he never complains. Once he'sday, he
- 8:32Speaker 1: loves it. You know. It's hard. I know that, and
- 8:36Speaker 1: it just brings me back. Okay. Was telling my wife
- 8:39Speaker 1: this when I started to lose weight. And this is
- 8:44Speaker 1: for anybody listening that maybe is struggling with their weight
- 8:48Speaker 1: or maybe just joined the gym. Okay, and it's starting
- 8:51Speaker 1: to work out. Maybe going back to the gym. I
- 8:55Speaker 1: signed up for the gym. I made my commitment to
- 8:57Speaker 1: do I think it was three days a week at
- 8:59Speaker 1: twenty minutes on the treadmill. I walk in, I walk
- 9:01Speaker 1: on the treadmill, and I leave right. I made that
- 9:04Speaker 1: commitment to myself to show up no matter what, and
- 9:08Speaker 1: so I did that. And then you know, eventually, after
- 9:10Speaker 1: like a month or so, I started to do like
- 9:12Speaker 1: thirty minutes or I went like four days, and I
- 9:14Speaker 1: just kind of increased. Naturally, if you're going no matter what,
- 9:17Speaker 1: you'll eventually like want to do more or you'll realize
- 9:21Speaker 1: that you can do more, whether that's another day or
- 9:24Speaker 1: more time. So that's what happened. And then once I started,
- 9:29Speaker 1: okay for the first I don't even know, man, months, okay, months,
- 9:34Speaker 1: months and months. Not to scare anybody, this is my
- 9:37Speaker 1: story here. This is someone who never worked out in
- 9:39Speaker 1: their life. Okay. It was very obese. I weighed about
- 9:42Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty pounds. But every single morning I
- 9:45Speaker 1: would wake up and as soon as I opened my eyes,
- 9:49Speaker 1: I would think I don't want to go to the gym.
- 9:52Speaker 1: Every single day, or every day that I was going
- 9:55Speaker 1: to go, I should say, it just didn't go away.
- 9:58Speaker 1: You know. It was very similar learned to the obsession
- 10:02Speaker 1: with drugs and alcohol that they talk about in recovery.
- 10:05Speaker 1: It's that obsession that is with you that takes a while.
- 10:09Speaker 1: After you stop using or stop drinking, it takes a
- 10:12Speaker 1: while for the obsession and the compulsion to go away.
- 10:15Speaker 1: You kind of just wake up one day and it's gone,
- 10:18Speaker 1: you know. That's how that works. So it was the
- 10:20Speaker 1: same thing with every day i'd wake up. My first
- 10:23Speaker 1: thought when I had to go to the gym was
- 10:24Speaker 1: I don't want to go to the gym. But I
- 10:26Speaker 1: pushed myself and I kept going, and eventually I built
- 10:30Speaker 1: a loving relationship with the gym. And that is the
- 10:33Speaker 1: ultimate goal, is to build a relationship with working out
- 10:36Speaker 1: where you don't mind going. Now, there are days when
- 10:39Speaker 1: I don't want to go, of course, but it's just
- 10:41Speaker 1: become such a part of my life. It's it's like
- 10:44Speaker 1: eating food to me. That's how I look at it.
- 10:47Speaker 1: It is what it is. It's a part of my
- 10:49Speaker 1: life and it always will be. That's kind of the
- 10:52Speaker 1: mentality around it. Right. I have to eat food, I
- 10:55Speaker 1: have to exercise for many different reasons for my health,
- 10:59Speaker 1: for my fans, to be an example, to feel happy, anything.
- 11:03Speaker 1: It's the best antidepressant you could ever think of. So
- 11:08Speaker 1: when when my son wakes up and calls me and
- 11:11Speaker 1: tries to get out of going to class, I understand
- 11:13Speaker 1: one hundred percent. And I am very, very very compassionate
- 11:18Speaker 1: towards him about that. You know, I don't yell at him.
- 11:22Speaker 1: I just remind him. And if he continues to come
- 11:24Speaker 1: back at me and make up excuses, I do what
- 11:26Speaker 1: I did yesterday, and I just say I'll see you
- 11:29Speaker 1: at three forty five and then we just move on,
- 11:31Speaker 1: you know. And so what I'm trying to do is
- 11:33Speaker 1: I'm trying to build that discipline in him, and also
- 11:37Speaker 1: eventually the goal is to build that love. Right. I
- 11:41Speaker 1: want to do for him what was not done for me. Okay,
- 11:44Speaker 1: like my dad went to the why I'm saying so,
- 11:46Speaker 1: but he was never like a hardcore gym guy where
- 11:49Speaker 1: and not that my son has to be hardcore, But
- 11:52Speaker 1: I want to get him training early in life because
- 11:56Speaker 1: I really think the benefit of that is going to
- 11:59Speaker 1: carry him through life. I feel like the exercise piece
- 12:03Speaker 1: has been so important in my journey. You know, it
- 12:07Speaker 1: builds confidence, you look better, you feel better. You know,
- 12:11Speaker 1: if you are having a bad day, it can help.
- 12:14Speaker 1: It can help in any situation. In other words, you
- 12:17Speaker 1: never leave a workout feeling worse than when you walked in.
- 12:20Speaker 1: That's really just that sums it up right there. No
- 12:23Speaker 1: matter how bad you're feeling when you go to workout,
- 12:26Speaker 1: once you are done with that workout, you will not
- 12:29Speaker 1: regret it. And most times, nine times out of ten,
- 12:33Speaker 1: you'll feel much better after you do. So yesterday we
- 12:36Speaker 1: were at the gym and he did I did my
- 12:38Speaker 1: cardio and he was doing the class. It was boxing,
- 12:41Speaker 1: So they start with twenty minutes of warm up and
- 12:43Speaker 1: then they go in and they hit the bags and
- 12:46Speaker 1: he was crushing it. Man, he's getting better, he definitely is.
- 12:48Speaker 1: I was telling him that yesterday. I go, dude, I
- 12:51Speaker 1: know you can't see it, I said, but I can
- 12:53Speaker 1: see it. You look better, your form's better, you have
- 12:57Speaker 1: a little bit more conditioning because you've been coming. We
- 12:59Speaker 1: just got to keep going. And so at the end
- 13:01Speaker 1: of the class, they do like a lightning round, you know,
- 13:05Speaker 1: of boxing, and then they get down and they do
- 13:07Speaker 1: a final set of set ups and planks. And so
- 13:11Speaker 1: I took a video I filmed that I posted that
- 13:13Speaker 1: made it into a reel just about you know, being
- 13:15Speaker 1: a father and fatherhood or whatever. You can check that out.
- 13:17Speaker 1: But once I was on filming, I go he was
- 13:21Speaker 1: doing setups and he was struggling, and so I just
- 13:23Speaker 1: went in. I joined the class, you know, and I
- 13:25Speaker 1: laid down next to him and did the setups with him,
- 13:28Speaker 1: helped him push through. And then we went into planks,
- 13:31Speaker 1: and so we're doing the planks and I'm like, hold on, buddy,
- 13:33Speaker 1: come on, hold it, hold it, hold it, keep your
- 13:35Speaker 1: stomach in. Breathe breathing, and he said, ah, he's just
- 13:37Speaker 1: pushing through. And then Chris, who's the owner of the gym,
- 13:40Speaker 1: who's a friend of mine, he was running the class.
- 13:42Speaker 1: He came over and he's like, able, don't fall before
- 13:44Speaker 1: your dad, don't fall before your dad. And it's like
- 13:47Speaker 1: those moments are just so great, they really are. And
- 13:50Speaker 1: that's that's why I made the rail that I did.
- 13:52Speaker 1: It's a quick one of him boxing that just says,
- 13:54Speaker 1: there will soon be a day where I won't hear
- 13:56Speaker 1: dad watch this over and over and over again, and
- 14:00Speaker 1: you know what, I'm pretty booked up until then. You know,
- 14:02Speaker 1: That's what my life is pretty much dedicated to for
- 14:05Speaker 1: the most part. That and playing stupid sounds on the
- 14:08Speaker 1: radio to make people all right here, you get out
- 14:12Speaker 1: of here. Man. The Red Sox are on at one thirty.
- 14:14Speaker 1: I want to get home, eat some lunch, and hopefully
- 14:16Speaker 1: it doesn't look like it's gonna rain. I gotta watch
- 14:18Speaker 1: the Red Sox. I'm all in my son and I.
- 14:20Speaker 1: He'll miss the first game. He's at camp, but maybe tonight. Well,
- 14:23Speaker 1: I'll watch this game, and then tonight I'll watch, hopefully
- 14:26Speaker 1: the whole thing. We'll see how it goes. Anyway, we'll
- 14:29Speaker 1: talk tomorrow. It's Ariana Day. Remember, if you go into
- 14:32Speaker 1: the show, you're trying to win tickets. Come down and
- 14:34Speaker 1: see us at play. All right, have a great day.
