  Speaker 1: Check one, two, one, two. Hello, front of house. Hello, hello. Hi, everybody.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Justin here at the show podcast. Let's get it going
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: on a Friday weekend.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Blue skies.
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: Woo.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Nothing better, especially after all the rain we got in
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: the nor'easter and all the gray skies. Feels good to
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: have some nice weather out there. And it's the Topsfield
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Fair this weekend. Busy, busy weekend for us and my family.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: So hope you're doing something fun. You can always check
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: in with me on the Talkbacks. Let me know what's
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: going on in your life. I like this relationship that
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: we have, the After Show Army and myself. We talk
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: to each other via the talkbacks or through DM. If
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: I can respond back, I do my best to respond
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: back to everybody. But I've talked about that before with
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: the DMs and being on my phone at home and
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: not being present with my family. That's caused issues in
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: the past. Not that they were upset, but I just realized–
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Spent all my time on the phone. I'm always on there,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: whether it's emails or Instagram or whatever it is, and
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: not enough time being present with my kids and my wife,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: whether that be.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Playing with my children. So I try to kind of
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: balance it out.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Now, there are some days, like last night, for example,
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: my son was at his friend's house playing baseball down
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: the street. My daughter was downstairs with my mother-in-law because
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: she had some company.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Her friends were there.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: So Gemma was down there, and I was just upstairs
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: alone on the couch.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: I was just wasting away on my phone.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Doom scrolling away well doing research for the show is
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: what i like to call it but that's fine you
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: know but if my children are there and they're playing
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: my daughter wants to play with me they're gonna play
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: with her i gotta because i know the time goes
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: quick so it's really important to me so anyway that's
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: the relationship that we have on the uh on the
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: after show podcast i'd love to hear.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: From you guys i love all the whitey bulgers talk
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: um my family's from healthy i live in Rhode Island now.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Yes, I just read the Whitey Bulger book. That's what
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: she's referring to. If you didn't know, I just finished
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: it last week.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: But my family's from Southie and Whitey has been on
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: my radar my entire life. I'm about to be 39.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: And growing up, my mom always said, her dad said,
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: when he walks in, you walk out. And my dad
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: used to be a cop. It I just wish I
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: could talk to him just once.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, listen, Whitey Bulger, obviously a big, big story
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: here in Boston, legendary figure, you know, uh, everyone knows
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: the story and I've always been fascinated with it, especially
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: not just that he was a mob boss and all
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: the things that he did, but you know, that relationship
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: with the FBI and all the corruption, the Southie piece,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: you know, growing up with John Connolly and like, The
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: whole story of John Connolly was a little bit younger
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: than Whitey and they were growing up.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: He looked up to him.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: And then when he became an FBI agent, you know,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: they were kind of recruited Whitey and Steve Fleming and
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: they became informants essentially where they played both sides of
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: the law.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: They were criminals murdering people, drugs, extortion, loan sharking, making
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: a ton of money while also at the same time
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: giving information to the FBI, you know, paying them off
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: to to not, you know, To keep them out of trouble.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: It's really a fascinating story. But a lot of people
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: lost their life, which is not cool. And, you know,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: I've always been kind of fascinated with it. I've read
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: all the books on it. But this one that I
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: just read is one that, you know, kind of covers
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: his life on the run. So that's why I wanted
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: to read it. But I moved off of that. I'm
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: off the Whitey Bulger thing. I'm more into reading a
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: book right now about a guy named Demezza. Demizza, his
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: name is Damien Young, I believe. I found him on Instagram.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: He's a legendary radio programmer, actually. He was known for
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: finding a lot of different artists, hip-hop artists, working with
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: everyone from Dr.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Dre to Eminem to Mariah Carey.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: He ran the hip-hop station in LA for many years,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: was very successful. So he's a real big figure in
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: the music industry. He left radio and now he– I
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: don't know what he does now but he posts videos
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: on Instagram and I really like his stuff, his commentary
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: on all things media, not just radio but like any
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: big story, anything from like.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: AI to music to movies.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: He has a really good take on all those things
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: and I never knew who he was until one day
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: I saw a video and I'm like, who is this guy?
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: He was commenting on radio, which is my business. So
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I looked him up and I learned.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Who he was and I found out he wrote a
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: book about– 13 or 14 years ago about his life story.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: It's actually an interesting book. I just started it.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: He was one of those like McCabe figures. I feel
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: like it would have been my story too. If I
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: didn't have that kind of addiction piece with me, if
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: I didn't go down that road, if I just would
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: have stayed straight, that would have been me. You know, McCabe,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: when you hear his story, he was into radio as
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: a kid. So when he became like a teenager, he
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: started calling the radio stations, showing up at the radio
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: station and hounding them until they gave him a job
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: when he was like 14 to 15, same story with Demiza, right?
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: He loved the radio.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: He hounded them as like 13 years old and eventually
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: they gave him a job. So maybe if I didn't
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: go down that other road, maybe that could have been
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: something that I did because I always loved radio. Radio
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: was like a huge part of my life. Music was
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: a huge part of my life. And I listened every
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: single day. You know, when I was a kid growing
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: up in like the nineties, that's where you found new music.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: This is like pre early internet. There were, this wasn't even.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Like limewire, right?
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: If you remember what limewire was, So the music is
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: where you heard it. So I would stay up late
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: to hear new songs. I had a little recorder. So
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: I would record the radio overnight. So I'd go to
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: bed and I'd leave it on record. And it would
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: just record everything all night. And then the next day
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: I would listen back to it. And that's how I
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: discovered new songs that I couldn't stay up for because
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: I was in school.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: So the story really intrigues me.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Plus he's got a lot of really good stories about
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: different rappers and artists. So I just started that book,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: and what's after that for books? Oh, my dad gave
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: me a book by Charles Bukowski, who's a legendary writer,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: crazy guy.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know a lot about him, but.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: He told me it's a book that he's read many times,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: and he just read it again for like the hundredth time,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: and every time he does, he gets something different out
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: of it. It's all short stories, I believe, so I'll
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: be going to that next. I'm off the chick books.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: I enjoyed the chick books.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: It's funny.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: I said that phrase on the air this week, and
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: some lady left a talkback cursing me out. What do
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: you mean by chick books, Justin? What do you mean?
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, I'm not trying to be sexist here,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: just being honest, because I didn't know. I didn't know
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: books that are written for women. Colleen Hoover I didn't
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: know was an author that wrote mostly books for women.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Verity was a book I saw in Barnes & Noble.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: It was like a bestseller. It looked interesting, so I
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: bought it. I posted it on Instagram thinking like, oh,
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: let me show everyone that I'm reading.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Hey, guys, what do you think about this book?
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: And I got thousands of DMs from women being like, really?
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: Really?
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: You're picking up a Colleen book? I don't know. It
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: was funny.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: So I had no idea. But Verity is in theaters
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: this weekend. I'm looking forward to seeing that. Not this
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: weekend because I'll be busy doing a bunch of stuff.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: But that does look good. And if you've read Verity–
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Let me know what you think. I thought it was
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: really good. There was one scene that really freaked me out.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: I don't want to give it away in case anybody
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: didn't read the book, so I won't say what it is.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: But there was one scene in particular with I guess
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: it would be Anne Hathaway's character, which I'm sure they're
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: going to put into the movie because it was like
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: a pivotal scene.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: But I remember like reading it.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: In my bed and reading that part and like picturing it.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: And I was freaked out. I don't really get scared
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: a lot anymore. I mean, I've kind of grown up. So,
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: you know, things like ghosts and the dark doesn't scare me.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: But that one freaks me out for sure.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: All right. What else? I'm trying to lighten the mood here.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: This week I feel like with the podcast, with the
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: fucking Maddie stuff has been just weighing it down. It's
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: weighing it down. Everyone wants to check in on it.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: It's like, do I play it? Do I keep it going?
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Mike from New Hampshire, who's like the nicest guy ever.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: This guy's never raised his voice. I've never heard him swear.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: It's a long time.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Listen, I've met Mike. He's a nice guy. I got
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: him swearing.
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: Mike from New Hampshire. Justin, people are fucking awful.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Come on, Mike. What the fuck?
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: I mean, I listened to Matty from when I was
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: five years old until he retired. It was time for
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: him to go. Billy and Lisa are rocking it out. Like,
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: let it go, people. Matt, live your life in Florida.
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: Billy and Lisa are thriving. Let them move forward with
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: their careers. And people, shut the fuck up.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: You know it's bad when Mike from New Hampshire is
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: getting angry. Come on, Mike. Wow.
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: It's been a really interesting week for sure. It really
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: has been. And I hate the negativity. But I did
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: feel the need to speak.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Out a little bit. And I feel like I did
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: a fine job with it. You know, I always.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: I want to tell the truth on it and I
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: feel like I did but I also was honest about
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: other things like in my relationship with Matt. I feel
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: like a lot of people might leave that part out.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Like let me just join this side and just– but
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: that's not the truth. I told the truth exactly how
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: it was and the frustrating part is there's no point
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: in doing all of this. There's no point in ruffling
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: the feathers and pointing fingers and it's just not true.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: It's just not– none of it is true. There was
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: no plot. To steal any kind of show from anybody.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: And really, it's just sad. You know, it's sad that
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: that it ended that way. And it's sad that, you know,
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: they're not friends anymore. And I know that's really I
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: get torn on that with Matt because I'm like, is
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: it the friendship? I'm sure it's the friendship, right? I'm
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: sure it's the friendship. But is it the friendship? But
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: is it also that he wants to be back on
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: the air?
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Is it a mix of both? Because that was always
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: the plan. The plan was never for him to just
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: walk away. The plan was for him to be a
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: part of the show. Very similar to what's going to
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: happen with Billy, actually. That's the exact plan that we
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: did with Matt is going to happen with Billy. Like
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: it's already in the early stages. You know, Billy's got
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: a few years left. He's not going anywhere soon. But
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: in the next few years, as did Matt, Billy will
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: take more and more time off. Long weekends, days here
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: and there. And they're going to stop putting people in
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: and kind of figure out, you know, what's going to
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: sound the best.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Who's going to sound the best in there? What can
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: we do?
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: And then when that time does come, it's not like
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: he's just going to walk away and be gone forever.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: He's probably going to check in, come in when he wants,
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: be on the show when he wants. That was always
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: the plan, but he fucked it up. And so that's
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: not the plan, and it had to go a different direction.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: So I don't know.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: I think everybody's happy with where they're at on this side.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: And yeah, I guess it just is what it is.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: So I'm just going to end it there. I think
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: I've spoken enough about it. think we can just leave
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: it alone until you know next summer when he comes
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: back from hibernation in Florida and ruffles feathers again but
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: hopefully not hopefully like this is it he said his
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: goodbye he had a show the people that really love
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: him so much and wanted to see him were able
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: to see him which is great so we'll just leave
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: it at that yeah it's gonna be hot today 80s
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: 80s I know it doesn't matter if you're not listening
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: on today the Friday But, yeah, I'll be at Topsfield Fair.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: I'll be at Canopy Lake tomorrow night. Just a really
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: busy weekend with the kids. Sunday I'll be watching football.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Go Pats.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Probably going to get killed, but I don't know. Anyway,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: have a great weekend. Always leave talkbacks. If you have
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: anything you want me to talk about. I really don't
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: want to keep the thing going with Matt, but if
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: you have a good question that I think deserves to
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: be answered, I will answer it. But always leave a talkback. Remember,
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: on the iHeart app, so if you're listening to this
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: podcast on Spotify or Apple or any of those, you
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: can't leave talkbacks on there. Only on the iHeart app.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Just when you're listening on your phone, just hit that
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: little red microphone button and send it on in.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: All right? We'll see you.
