- 1:12Speaker 2: of all, meeting everybody was so cool. I've been to
- 1:17Speaker 2: these book clubs. It's always so great to meet people.
- 1:20Speaker 2: It feels really good to really hear from people who
- 1:23Speaker 2: listen to the show.
- 1:24Speaker 1: Every day.
- 1:25Speaker 2: Radio is a weird thing, it really is, because you
- 1:28Speaker 2: can't You can kind of measure who's listening and how
- 1:31Speaker 2: many people, but you really don't know. So you know, essentially,
- 1:34Speaker 2: we do a show and it's just us four in
- 1:36Speaker 2: the studio, right well, it's Billy Lee set myself in Riley,
- 1:40Speaker 2: and you can't really it feels like you're talking to nobody,
- 1:43Speaker 2: but you're really talking to a lot of people. So
- 1:45Speaker 2: when when we meet people and they say things like
- 1:48Speaker 2: about my story or about about you know, my legs
- 1:52Speaker 2: or my gym routine or anything about any of us,
- 1:55Speaker 2: it just feels good, you know. Or after show army members,
- 1:59Speaker 2: I met a ton of those you guys last night.
- 2:01Speaker 2: It just feels really good. It's like wow, man, like
- 2:03Speaker 2: people are listening and they really do make us a
- 2:06Speaker 2: part of their life, and that just feels really good.
- 2:09Speaker 2: And I want to say thank you to everybody that
- 2:12Speaker 2: you know, stopped to say hi, that maybe took a
- 2:14Speaker 2: picture with us.
- 2:15Speaker 1: It was just so great.
- 2:17Speaker 2: Justin it's Mo.
- 2:19Speaker 3: I'm on my way home from the event. It was awesome,
- 2:21Speaker 3: so much fun. Obviously, to highlight was seeing you.
- 2:25Speaker 1: Guys, meeting guys.
- 2:28Speaker 3: I was so excited that you recognized me. I want
- 2:30Speaker 3: to sure if you were going to you know, you
- 2:32Speaker 3: meet so many people and so but no, you're such.
- 2:36Speaker 1: A good hugger. I love a good hugger and you.
- 2:39Speaker 3: Are one of them. So it was great to see you.
- 2:43Speaker 3: It was a great, great night.
- 2:45Speaker 1: Of course I remember you, Mo.
- 2:47Speaker 2: You came to my house to the yard sale, then
- 2:49Speaker 2: I saw you at market basket. Then I saw you
- 2:52Speaker 2: at flag football because your daughter plays in the same
- 2:56Speaker 2: facility as my son, So of course I remember you.
- 3:00Speaker 2: Right when I saw you, I knew I knew a
- 3:02Speaker 2: bunch of people. Some of them I recognize the face
- 3:05Speaker 2: but not the name, and I would say to them,
- 3:07Speaker 2: I'm like we've met.
- 3:08Speaker 1: I remember you might not remember your name, but of
- 3:10Speaker 1: course I remember you.
- 3:11Speaker 3: Mo Justin, It's Mogan one thing I forgot. But this
- 3:15Speaker 3: is for my bestie Erica, who with me last night.
- 3:18Speaker 3: She said, Oh my god, I feel so bad for
- 3:21Speaker 3: Justin right now shaking all of these hands. Oh it
- 3:25Speaker 3: must be beside himself. If only they were true listeners
- 3:31Speaker 3: and after show army people and would fist pop him instead.
- 3:34Speaker 3: So I hope you probably loved washing your hands.
- 3:37Speaker 1: At the end of the night.
- 3:38Speaker 2: I did go right into the bathroom and wash my hands.
- 3:41Speaker 2: And it's not like a Howie Mandel thing where I
- 3:44Speaker 2: can't shake people's hands. It doesn't I don't care. I'll
- 3:47Speaker 2: shake anybody. I would never say no to not shaking hands.
- 3:50Speaker 2: It's just more of once I'm shaking people's hands, I'm
- 3:53Speaker 2: thinking in my head I should wash my hands, and
- 3:56Speaker 2: I feel like other people should feel the same that
- 3:58Speaker 2: you should want to wash your hands.
- 3:59Speaker 1: Not because people dirty or anything like that. It's not
- 4:01Speaker 1: one of those things. It's just about you know, germs
- 4:05Speaker 1: and stuff. I don't know. It's it's something you develop
- 4:08Speaker 1: later on in age. You know.
- 4:10Speaker 2: It's like when I was a kid, I'd smoke weed
- 4:12Speaker 2: and I'd share joints and blunts and bongs and pipes
- 4:15Speaker 2: with people. And I remember sitting in a circle with
- 4:18Speaker 2: like like a fat joint and it would go around
- 4:21Speaker 2: and around. Every time you get it'd be more wet, soaking,
- 4:24Speaker 2: sopping with spit, and I'd be like, well, no, what
- 4:29Speaker 2: was there?
- 4:30Speaker 3: You know?
- 4:30Speaker 2: And now I like don't want to shake people's hands.
- 4:32Speaker 2: It's not that I don't want to shake people's hands.
- 4:34Speaker 2: It's just that, Yeah, she Mo nailed it. As I'm
- 4:37Speaker 2: shaking people's hands, it doesn't gross me out to actually
- 4:40Speaker 2: shake them. But once I'm done, I'm thinking, like, I
- 4:42Speaker 2: should go wash my hands. And I washed my hands
- 4:45Speaker 2: after doing anything.
- 4:47Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 4:47Speaker 2: I wasn't always like a germaphobe like that, but good
- 4:50Speaker 2: call on that one, Mo. But yeah, it was a
- 4:52Speaker 2: shout out to everybody that that I met last night. Angelus.
- 4:56Speaker 2: The scientist Sarah from Maine was there, pregnant.
- 5:00Speaker 1: We were able to.
- 5:00Speaker 2: Get her, you know, upstairs and in early so she
- 5:03Speaker 2: wasn't standing in the ninety degree heat while she's like
- 5:06Speaker 2: eight months pregnant.
- 5:07Speaker 1: That was cool. Of course, Linn Bach was there. Who else?
- 5:11Speaker 1: Who else?
- 5:11Speaker 2: Who else, Oh God, so many other people. It was
- 5:14Speaker 2: just amazing. Now let's get to the actual event itself.
- 5:18Speaker 2: Dave Portnoy. You know, when we went into the green
- 5:23Speaker 2: room to meet him, you know, you never know what
- 5:25Speaker 2: to expect with these people. I kind of knew that
- 5:28Speaker 2: Dave was cool, right, Like I had never met him before.
- 5:30Speaker 2: We can kind of get that vibe with him that
- 5:32Speaker 2: you know, he's just a regular dude and he is
- 5:34Speaker 2: who he is online in real life.
- 5:37Speaker 1: And that was so true.
- 5:39Speaker 2: Like we walked back right to Dave, started talking to him,
- 5:43Speaker 2: introduced myself, and then Billy was kind of walking kind
- 5:47Speaker 2: of behind me a little bit. So when I introduced myself,
- 5:50Speaker 2: I said, I just want to tell you, you know, I've
- 5:51Speaker 2: worked in radio for so long, and when I first
- 5:54Speaker 2: got hired, like just started getting on the air. Really
- 5:57Speaker 2: my first my longest time on the air and a
- 6:03Speaker 2: real taste of what radio is about, which is live
- 6:05Speaker 2: and local, was the bad Boston Marathon bombings, specifically the manhunt.
- 6:10Speaker 2: So a few days after the bombing, you know, I'd
- 6:13Speaker 2: gotten up at like two thirty to come to work,
- 6:15Speaker 2: and as soon as I woke up, I opened Twitter
- 6:16Speaker 2: and Dave Portney was live tweeting the manhunt. It was
- 6:19Speaker 2: one of the craziest things ever. And I told him
- 6:21Speaker 2: that story and he was like, oh my god. He's like,
- 6:24Speaker 2: you don't even know how many people say that's how
- 6:27Speaker 2: they hurted me, that's how they found out about me,
- 6:29Speaker 2: was from tweeting, because he was like, it's a different
- 6:32Speaker 2: time then, and he was listening to a scanner and
- 6:35Speaker 2: you know, at that time, I was going on the
- 6:38Speaker 2: air live in the morning giving updates based on Dave's tweets.
- 6:41Speaker 2: It was actually crazy. So we had that conversation. Then
- 6:44Speaker 2: he looked at Billy and he goes, how the hell
- 6:46Speaker 2: haven't we met before to Billy, you know, because he
- 6:49Speaker 2: obviously knows who he is. And then we just had
- 6:52Speaker 2: a great conversation. He was watching the World Cup back there.
- 6:55Speaker 2: I brought two of my friends, Mike and Mike, they
- 6:58Speaker 2: met him, took a picture with him. He was just
- 7:00Speaker 2: super cool and he was like making jokes, just as
- 7:03Speaker 2: he is on Instagram. Just a really, really, really cool guy.
- 7:07Speaker 2: And as far as the book club itself, I think
- 7:09Speaker 2: Lisa did a fantastic job. There was so much to
- 7:11Speaker 2: talk about, so many topics to cover, and she did
- 7:14Speaker 2: a great job just navigating through it all and we
- 7:17Speaker 2: got the you know, we got everything. We wanted him
- 7:20Speaker 2: more from him, right Obviously, he talked about the book,
- 7:22Speaker 2: He talked about Taylor Swift, he talked about Barstool call
- 7:25Speaker 2: her Daddy. Jalen Brown interviewing Donald Trump. Now we didn't run.
- 7:30Speaker 2: That was one of my favorite ones about the Trump thing.
- 7:33Speaker 2: And again I've done the political rant on this podcast.
- 7:37Speaker 2: By the way, there were people that were now boycotting
- 7:40Speaker 2: the show was unbelievable that the home. I cannot believe
- 7:44Speaker 2: you had the maga, Dave Port. I'm done with this show.
- 7:49Speaker 2: You were never funny anyway. Since Maddy left, the show
- 7:52Speaker 2: has just gone downhill. I woke up to those dms
- 7:55Speaker 2: this morning. I'm like, dude, fucking get a life, man,
- 7:58Speaker 2: really like, get a life, Like move on, find something
- 8:02Speaker 2: that makes you happy. If something like that makes you
- 8:05Speaker 2: so unhappy, you need to focus on what's gonna make
- 8:09Speaker 2: you happy. So you know, I don't respond to those dms.
- 8:12Speaker 2: I just block them. Well, I screenshot it and I
- 8:14Speaker 2: send it to my friends. To be honest with you,
- 8:16Speaker 2: that's what I do. I screenshot them and I send
- 8:18Speaker 2: it in my group chat. So we can all laugh
- 8:20Speaker 2: at how fucking stupid the people are and then we
- 8:22Speaker 2: move on with that life. But he told the story
- 8:25Speaker 2: about Donald Trump. Lisa asked them, and his parents were
- 8:28Speaker 2: there and they were so cute. His dad, and his
- 8:30Speaker 2: dad's like really older. He's not disabled, but you know,
- 8:33Speaker 2: he's an older guy, so he kind of he's slow
- 8:35Speaker 2: to get around. So he was up on the upper
- 8:38Speaker 2: level over the stage, so he was looking down on Dave.
- 8:40Speaker 2: So from my view side stage, I'm looking across at
- 8:44Speaker 2: Dave and then right above him is his dad looking down.
- 8:48Speaker 2: And he told the story about he got the call, well,
- 8:51Speaker 2: he let it with his dad hates Trump. He's a
- 8:55Speaker 2: Trump Peter hates hates them. He's one of these people
- 8:58Speaker 2: that will tell anybody that will listen how much Donald
- 9:01Speaker 2: Trump sucks. So he gets to call it interviewing interview him.
- 9:04Speaker 2: He says yes, he doesn't tell his dad. He does
- 9:06Speaker 2: the interview, and then afterwards he goes, can we do
- 9:09Speaker 2: a can you do me a favor? Can we FaceTime
- 9:12Speaker 2: my dad? And he facetimed his father with Donald Trump,
- 9:16Speaker 2: and you know, his dad picks up and Lisa was like,
- 9:19Speaker 2: what do these says? What does your dad say, and
- 9:20Speaker 2: he's like nothing, he froze up, like that was my
- 9:23Speaker 2: son with Donald Trump. It was just a really really
- 9:25Speaker 2: funny moment, really really good and yeah.
- 9:28Speaker 1: She asked them about running for office. I don't know.
- 9:31Speaker 2: The entire stream is up on the Kiss Facebook, so
- 9:33Speaker 2: make sure you check it out. I just thought it
- 9:35Speaker 2: was an electric moment. I was so happy for Lisa.
- 9:37Speaker 2: It's so great to see what she's built, the community
- 9:40Speaker 2: that she's built. You know, people are showing up, people
- 9:43Speaker 2: are reading, people are participating, people are meeting others and
- 9:47Speaker 2: building relationships, sometimes friendships and sometimes relationships.
- 9:51Speaker 1: I should say it was just so cool. It was
- 9:54Speaker 1: just really really great.
- 9:55Speaker 2: So you can watch all the pictures and videos on
- 9:58Speaker 2: the Instagram, TikTok, all that stuf of social media, and
- 10:00Speaker 2: again on the kids Facebook. Is the full stream. I
- 10:04Speaker 2: would recommend watching it even if you're not a huge
- 10:06Speaker 2: Dave port Nooy fan. I did see a lot of
- 10:09Speaker 2: comments about that that you know, they're not They don't
- 10:12Speaker 2: even think about Dave port Noy, they know who he is,
- 10:13Speaker 2: they're not really huge fans. They probably don't follow him
- 10:15Speaker 2: on social but then they watched that interview and heard
- 10:17Speaker 2: how he talked and everything, and they liked it and
- 10:20Speaker 2: they became fans of him. Listen, he's like a no
- 10:23Speaker 2: holds barred guy. He does what he does. He's very smart,
- 10:26Speaker 2: he's been very successful, but he doesn't apologize for who
- 10:29Speaker 2: he is. And you got to respect that in a sense.
- 10:32Speaker 2: And I get like the hatred and stuff because he
- 10:34Speaker 2: interviewed Trump and you know, all the political stuff.
- 10:37Speaker 1: I get that.
- 10:38Speaker 2: I just I'm on the stance of I don't hate
- 10:40Speaker 2: people because of who they like. You know, I can
- 10:43Speaker 2: disagree with people, but I don't like hate them and
- 10:46Speaker 2: fucking leave talkbacks and send dms to people that I
- 10:49Speaker 2: don't even know about.
- 10:51Speaker 1: Hatred and all that stuff. Man, life's too short. Remember that,
- 10:54Speaker 1: as I go off on vacation, I will say that
- 10:56Speaker 1: life is too short to be hating. All right.
- 11:00Speaker 2: We want to be positive. That's one thing about this show,
- 11:03Speaker 2: this morning show that we try to focus on. Because
- 11:06Speaker 2: you can say what you want about this show that
- 11:08Speaker 2: maybe it's boring or it's not exciting or whatever you
- 11:11Speaker 2: want to say about.
- 11:12Speaker 1: It, it's positive and we keep it positive every day.
- 11:16Speaker 1: And I feel like the community that we've built, not
- 11:18Speaker 1: just at the book club with Lisa. But the community
- 11:20Speaker 1: like within the talkbacks and the talk back mafia and
- 11:23Speaker 1: letting people come in and be a part of our
- 11:25Speaker 1: show is positive. So try to do that, you know.
- 11:27Speaker 2: And it's a good message for me too as I
- 11:29Speaker 2: go off on vacation and spend time with my family.
- 11:31Speaker 2: It's about worrying about what matters.
- 11:34Speaker 1: You know.
- 11:34Speaker 2: I'm not going to give the dartboard speech. You can
- 11:38Speaker 2: go back and listen to that, but you know, the
- 11:40Speaker 2: dartboard what matters. So what's the most points the bullseye
- 11:44Speaker 2: and outside, So that's what you want to focus on.
- 11:46Speaker 2: You want to focus on your loved ones and your
- 11:49Speaker 2: close friends and the people that really matter in your life.
- 11:52Speaker 2: The people that DM me or leave nasty talkbacks every day,
- 11:56Speaker 2: that listen to the show NonStop as if they love it,
- 11:59Speaker 2: but then just critic.
- 12:00Speaker 1: They're on the edge of the dark board. So they're
- 12:03Speaker 1: not really worth a ton of points in the sense
- 12:05Speaker 1: of in my life, in the show's life, so we're not.
- 12:09Speaker 2: We don't try to pay too much attention to them.
- 12:12Speaker 2: We worry about the good, and the good is in
- 12:15Speaker 2: this case, getting Dave Portnoy, getting people to read, selling
- 12:19Speaker 2: some books, raising money for raising a reader, you know,
- 12:23Speaker 2: building community. That's all positive stuff. So listen, we're done.
- 12:27Speaker 2: I'm done.
- 12:28Speaker 1: I'll be back in a week.
- 12:30Speaker 2: Loss to talk about when I get back, So I
- 12:32Speaker 2: hope you'll miss me, so obviously tomorrow kiss want to wait?
- 12:35Speaker 2: Its commercial free, there'll be no podcast, and then next
- 12:38Speaker 2: week we're off and we'll be back on Monday, a week.
- 12:40Speaker 1: From Monday, so enjoy the break.
- 12:42Speaker 2: I guess you won't hear my voice for a week,
- 12:44Speaker 2: but I'll be back and uh yeah, we'll cover it all.
- 12:47Speaker 2: So I love you guys so much. If I met
- 12:49Speaker 2: you last night, it was an honor, a big time
- 12:52Speaker 2: honor to meet you. Talk soon bye,
