  Speaker 1: And I'm back. Hi everybody after Chill podcast. Yes, back
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: from vacation on a Monday. What is today's day? Today
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: is August twenty fourth. It's been about ten days since
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: we last spoke. I'm so happy to be back. I
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: have so much to talk about and tell you all
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: about the last time we had a podcast, well was
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: the friday that we left for a vacation. And yeah,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: I had my wife on as a surprise guest. That
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: was cool. She came in before our flight. If you
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: missed the podcast, go check it out because our flight
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: was at four o'clock, so I had her come in
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: do the podcast, and then we kind of got lunch
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: and did a little shopping and then my dad drove
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: us from the radio station to the flight. But let's
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: start there with my wife and the podcast. That was cool.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Justin welcome back.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: Listening to Jen.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: And you on your podcast.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: I love that you played snooze.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: We know you don't play music you can't, and you
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: did for her, and maybe you did it by accident
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: or the fact that you did it. It was like You're like,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: I don't care if I'm gonna get fined.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: I love you.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: That was great.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Welcome back. Oh my god, so og podcast listeners know this.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: We used to play music all the time, which I
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: missed terribly, but we had to stop because we're not
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: licensed to play music on the podcast. On the radio,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: we can play any song we want, but on the
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: podcast we are not. I don't know how people get
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: away with that. Like on Instagram, I'll see clips in
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: podcasts playing music and I know they're not paying to
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: play it, but they really crack down on our podcasts
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: because you know, these these artists can sue us. If
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: you don't have the right the license to play a
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: clip or song, then they can sue you. And the
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: company has been sued several times. So basically it's like, Okay,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: if you play an Ed Sharon song, the chances of
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Ed Sharon and his team tracking you down and suing
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: you unlikely. They could, but unlikely. But if you have
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: a song maybe let's say an artist that was big
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: in the early two thousands, nineties, eighties, you know, an
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: older are artist who hasn't really done much. You know,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: this really happens. They have people that scour the internet
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: and look for people using their music with that that
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: aren't supposed to be and then they sue them and
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: it's a I mean, they're not wrong, right, but it's
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: a show way to make some money. So I think
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: that's what happened to our company. I'm not sure, but
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: they kind of alluded to that. So they cut all music.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's we can't. We're not licensed to, so
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: we stopped playing music. But on that podcast I did.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: We were talking about Snooze and how much that song
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: means to me, to both of us, but mainly me
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: and I played the song and I wasn't supposed to,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: So don't wrap me out. Please don't tell anybody that
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: I played the song for real, just saying.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Hey, justin welcome back. I was listening to your podcast
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: of you and Jen before you left and the nostalgia
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: of the new kids on the Block. I can see
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: my rum as a kid with my white pillow case
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: with the new kids on the Block and the sheets.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: And it just brought me back.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: I definitely kissed my pillow. I was into the other
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: night brother I gues.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: His name is Jonathan.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Yes, we did talk about that. No, her favorite is Donnie.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: That's definitely her favorite. She actually has, you know, a
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: crush on Donnie. Wahlberg. We joke about that all the time.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: But she also likes Jenny McCarthy. My wife's weird, not weird,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: but she's different because a lot of her favorite celebrities
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: artists are controversial, but she really has no idea about
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: the controversial part of them, like she just likes them
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: for them. She doesn't follow the news nothing. She doesn't
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: watch the news. She doesn't really follow much. She's kind
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: of like in her own lane. I'll give you a
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: couple examples. So she loves Jenny McCarthy. And Jenny can
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: be controversial, especially years ago with the vaccine stuff. I
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: brought that up to She had no idea. She just
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: likes her. She likes her and Donnie as a couple.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: She's a fan of Jenny McCarthy and maybe I don't know.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I think she her podcast. I'm not sure. She also
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: likes Chris Brown. Now this is a big controversial one.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: She loved Chris Brown's music forever, the rihannesty. Obviously she
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: knows about the Rihanna stuff, but she still listens to
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: the music. She doesn't it's just who she is. She's
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: not gonna stop listening to Chris Brown. Her all time
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: favorite song in the whole world is a Chris Brown song,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: which is God, oh my god. I think it's beautiful people,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: but she loves Chris Brown and again, like I think
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I brought it up to her one time, does the
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: fact that he had that controversy, and she's like, I
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: just like his music. Some other ones are. She really
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: likes Bunny XO. I don't know if she's controversial, but
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: and then who's the other one she loves post Malone.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Obviously he's not really controversial, but she's just kind of like,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: she likes who she likes. That's it. She doesn't get
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: into all the bullshit about She's not the type of
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: person to just turn someone off because of something that
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: they did. I know that Chris Brown one is controversial,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: a lot of people don't like him. I get that,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: but again, it's like her favorite music. She's not going
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: to stop listening to it. So yeah, she's a big
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Donnie Wahlberg fan. That's what she's into. But it was fun.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: It was fun to have her on the podcast, and
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: it was great to get away for the weekend. So
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: that's how we started. We took the plane to Naples, Florida.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: It was good. She got the time off of work.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, she did start a new job.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: By the way, Hey, Justin, I have been half in
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: tea from the podcast, so I'm just trying to catch up.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: And I heard you mentioned that Jenna is working. Just
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: wondering if you could provide an update. Maybe you have
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: a previous podcasts. Sure, but glad she's got a new job,
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: hoping she likes it, and you know, just curious what
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: she's doing now. All right, I'm out on a walk,
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: so sorry for the out of breath.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Oh, no problem, no problem at all. Yes, Okay, So
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: she got laid off in June, early June from the
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: company she was working at. She was a manager at
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: a recovery in home recovery business, so they laid her
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: off and she wasn't working. She got a severance from
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: that job, so she's been applying a job. She ended
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: up taking a per deem job at a addiction facility
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: they cover it's a detox drug detox and then a
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: mental health unit as well, both there. So she did
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: the training and she's doing per deem there. So she's
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: working a few days a week there, which is cool
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: because she worked in New Hampshire previously at the other
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: job she got laid off at, so just working the
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: two or three days in Massachusetts. At this place, she's
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: making pretty much the same amount amount of money. But
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: she did accept a new job at another similar place,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: so in home recovery, that's a manager position pays well.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: So I think she accepted that job and is gonna
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: look to start something maybe mid September. But she is
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: an NP school, so next November, not this November, she
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: will graduate and become a nurse practitioner, which is really
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: really cool. So really she's just you know, she's working,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: but looking forward to you know, becoming an NP and
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: really kind of taking that next step in her career.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: So thank you for asking. She's actually working today. She
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: works seven to seven, seven am to seven pm. So
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: it's been an adjustment for her moving from working from home,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: not getting dressed for work and basically working on a
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: screen all day to inpatient dealing with you know, actual people,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: and she kind of goes back and forth from the
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: drug unit to the mental health unit. But the mental
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: health is what she's really trying to focus on because
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: she's going to be a psych d P and you know,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: she's worked in addiction for the past twelve or thirteen years.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Like she's well versed in all things you know, drug addiction,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: but the mental health stuff is all kind of new
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: to her. So she's really appreciative to have the job
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: to kind of get that hands on training there. And
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: she really just connects obviously because she's a former addict,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: she's in recovery, she connects with other addicts, but you know,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: her real passion is helping those with mental health, anybody
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: that's really down. You know, she's she's got a really
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: big heart, and she has a soft spot for those
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: kind of people that really need the help, and she is,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: you know, willing to help. So try out to her.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: So yeah, we flew out two Naples. That was cool.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: We stayed at Billy's house. We got in around eight
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: thirty at night into Fort Myers. We rented a car,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: and then we drove to Billy's house, which is in
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: kind of a community. You know, I had never been
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: down to Naples. It's first time, but I feel like
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: that's all that's down there are these communities. I mean,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: it's beautiful, it's kind of ritzy, but I didn't see
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: any residential houses. I know they have them kind of
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: in a different part maybe, but the streets in and
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: around where Billy's condo is are all communities. So we
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: get there, Billy says, So you have to imagine it's
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: like all these kind of houses put together like a community, right,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: And they looked exactly alike. So there's a garage and
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: then there's an entrance kind of around to the side.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: So he had told me that if there was the
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: car in front of his garage, they shouldn't be one there, right,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: you need to get that car move the neighbor, he said.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: He texted that person. He's like, let me know if
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: you know the car is there. Sure enough, we get there,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: there's a car. So I called Billy and he's like, okay, yeah,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: you gotta ring the neighbor's bell. I texted him. He
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: didn't respond. You got to you got it. You can't
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: park on the street, and there's nowhere else to park,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: like that's the only spot you can park in. So
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: I had to go ring the doorbell. Dogs are barking.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: The guy had to wake the guy up. He comes
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: out and is underwear, super nice guy. Though I explained
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: who I was, he said no, problem. I'll get the
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: car moved because no one's there. They only rent the
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: place in the winter and Billy only goes like once
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: a year with his wife, so there's nobody there for
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: months on end. So they used the parking spot, which
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Billy's fine with, so they moved the car. We get
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: inside and it's beautiful. It's a it's a two I
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: guess a three bedroom, but two of them are bedrooms
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: and then one's kind of a den. They have some
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: weights in there, some books, but it's beautiful. It's really
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: really nice. And we get in there. It's about one
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: hundred degrees because the central air is not on, so
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: we go to turn it on and there's an error
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: code on there. So I'm trying to figure it out.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Jen's trying to figure it out. We're sweating. It's almost
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: ten o'clock at night now by this time, and I'm like, dude,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: what are we going to do? I'm like, I don't
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: want to call Billy. It's almost ten. I don't want
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: to bother them. That's all I'm thinking about my head is,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: you know, Harry is doing me a favor letting me
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: use his place, and now I'm going to harass him.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Should I just get a hotel room and call him
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: in the morning. So I couldn't figure it out, ended
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: up calling him. He was cool, He's like all right,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: So him and his wife were trying to walk us
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: through it. It took about ten or fifteen minutes. All
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: it was was the Wi Fi lost connection to the thermostat.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: So with little help from chat GPT, we rebooted the
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: system and we were back on and yeah, so that
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: was good. That was night one, and I talked about
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: my wife having the whole weekend planned. It was insane.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, we were NonStop from the moment we got up.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: You know, we had the rental car. So the first
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: day we got up, we went to the beach, Naples beach, well,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: we went to Saint Marco's Island, sorry I should say
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: for breakfast. Beautiful place. Beautiful beautiful place. It's not far.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: It's like fifteen minutes from Billy's house. You know, you
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: drive over a bridge and you're into this like really
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: ritzy kind of beach town. We had a place called
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: I think it was called Doreen's maybe really really good
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: breakfast spot, and then we hit the beach. I don't
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: know the name of the beach, but it was a
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: long walk to get there. But once we got there,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: it was cool. We hung out there, swam a little bit.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: It was dead down there, you know, I didn't I
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: didn't know until I got down there. But summertime is
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: really hot and it's kind of their slow season, you know, winter,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: you know, the colder month is when the snowbirds come down.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: So there really wasn't a lot of people, which was nice.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: So we hit the beach there and then we drove
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: to the Everglades, which was really cool because you go
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: from Naples to kind of like hillbilly land, I guess.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: And we took an airboat tour, which I was nervous about.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: I was posting, you know, to see alligators and possibly dolphins,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: and you know, you gotta figure it. We pay for
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: the ticket, right, and then the guy comes on the
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: airboat and he is like straight out of Tallahassee. I
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: know we're in the Everglades, but you know, just a
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: straight hillbilly. So nice. And it was Jen and I
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: and another family and we went out into the Everglades
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: and it was great. If you've ever done the airboat tour,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: if you've never done one, I should say, I highly
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: recommend it. It was a lot of fun. You know,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: going through Now in the Everglades, they kind of make
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: the paths themselves, right, they make these passageways. They cut
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: down the trees and trim them. So we were kind of,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: you know, sliding through looking for alligators, and then they
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: would come out to a big opening and he would
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: do a big doughnut. You know. It was a little
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: nervous at first, but it was completely safe. And they
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: give you headphones so when the when he's going fast,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: you can talk to him and you can hear him.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: So as we're you know, kind of riding around in
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: the airboat, he's giving us a tour. And he grew
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: up there. He's been there his whole life. I think
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: he was twelfth generation, okay, from the Everglades his family,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: and you know, he lived like two miles from there,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: so he knows the Everglades in and out. He actually
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: fishes there all the time. So that was cool. And
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: then we got to like a spot where the gators
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: were supposed to be, and they were there. I don't
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: know how this dude spotted them. I mean, he's from there,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: but I was looking around and I kept seeing rocks
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: or branches that I thought were moving, but once we
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: got to this spot, they were everywhere. We'd pull up
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: right next to them. They had baby gators, big gators,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: and he like gave us like a like a little tour,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: told us about about the animals, and you know, it
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: was It was really cool. And then on the way
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: back we saw a dolphin, which is all my wife
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: wanted to see. She wanted to see dolphins and manates.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: We did not see manatees, which is weird because I
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: feel like there were manate signs everywhere, but we did
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: see a dolphin which swam up right next to me.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: I posted on my Instagram story that was cool. So
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: we get back from the Everglades, we went to the
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: They have like an alligator show thing. That was crazy.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: I posted that too. They had an alligator hunter who
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: literally hunts gaters and snakes by the way, because they're
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: an invasive species. So in the daytime, ready for this,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: he does alligator shows where he puts his head in
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: alligator's mouths and does all this crazy stuff. And then
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: at night he's in the Everglades snake hunting. Okay, we
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: found his Instagram. He's in there catching like ten to
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: twenty foot python snakes because you know they they're invasive
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: to the everglades, right, So that was wild. So then
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: we drive back to the ritzy part of Naples, showered,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: chilled out, and then we hit dinner. I don't remember
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: the name of the restaurant, but right on the water sunset,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: which is what my wife wanted. And it was just
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: really cool to spend time together no kids, honestly, I
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: mean that's really why we went, was to be in
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: each other's company, you know, and spend time together and
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: to be intimate together. And when I say intimacy, I
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: don't just mean sex. You know, that's an important thing
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: to kind of differentiate there. It's to have conversations not
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: surrounded by kids and kind of talk about life and
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: things that are going on. It gets very hectic. I
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: talked about that. I talked about that all the time, right,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: It's very hectic at home. Very rarely are we alone
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: and are able to have adult conversations without being interrupted
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: or being able to kind of speak freely, you know.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: So that was cool dinner that night, and went to bed,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: woke up Sunday again, off to the races. We had
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: another breakfast spot that Billy put us onto. It wasn't
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: a sit down breakfast, it was a bagel spot. I
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: think it was called Brooklyn dough May I'm not sure,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: but that was cool. And then we kind of just
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: went around Naples right, went to Fifth Avenue, which was nice,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: walked around downtown. We went to I forget the other
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: place name. We went to another kind of beachy type
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: of place, and then we went to like a mall
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: area where we ate dinner. I forget the name of
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: that place too. It was an Italian place, which was good.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: I should have wrote them down. I'm sorry that I didn't.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: But after dinner we went back and showered and went
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: on a sunset kayaking tour, which I was nervous about
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: as well. I know, I'm big and I have a
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: lot of muscles and all that. You know, we talk
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: about that all the time. But I am not manly
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: in any way, you know, like I'll you know, I
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: can defend myself and I can handle my own but
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: when it comes to animal things, things like fishing and
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: kayaking and you know, alligators, it's a little bit too
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: much for me. But the kayaking thing was cool. We
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: met the guy at Naples Harbor I think it is.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: There were three other couples as well. I think there
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: was a family too, So two couples and a family
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: and we went out in the kayaks. And so we
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: went out at when it was still light out but
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: getting dark and so we get into the kayaks. Gives
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: us like a lesson and we kind of just follow him.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Jen and I, you know, I posted some videos of
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: it and that was nice. And he brings you out
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: to kind of this this jetty area beach where you
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: can only get to with a boat or a kayak,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: and we watched the sunset, you know, it took pictures.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: The guy was really cool. He's a teacher at Naples High.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: He teaches commuter computer science and then he does this
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: on the side the kayak tours. Really really nice guy.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: And then on the way back, now it's dark out,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: so we had to get the bug spray. The bugs
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: were a little bit rough, but he took us kind
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: of a different way, kind of away from the area
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: the bush and bushes where they were really bad. So
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: that was cool. Bug spray helped. But what was really
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: cool was the kayaks were glowing the dark. Okay, so
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: they're clear, so we turned them on. As we got
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: into them to kayak back, he turned them on and
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: they had all kinds of different colors and we just
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: kayaked back sunset, glow in the dark. It was. It
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: was pretty good. That was pretty good. So we went
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: home Sunday night and that was it. Woke up Monday morning,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: got everything ready packed, headed back to UH to Boston.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: The flights were fine, there were there were no issues.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: But how about this. We're at the airport in Fort Myers,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: sitting there waiting to board. They call first class. This
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: is Delta. We're not first class, obviously, we're just normal folk.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: They call first class. They're lining up, and I noticed
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: a guy, younger man, seemed to be by himself. I
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: looked at him. I didn't notice anything about his look
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: or anything. What I noticed was his Louis Vuitton backpack.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Stuck out to me because I know it's expensive, probably
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: costs I don't even know, ten grand, so I noted it.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: I was like, damn, that's a nice backpack. And then
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: I just kind of moved on. I was like sitting
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: there on my phone looking around. A couple of minutes
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: go by. I look back up and I happened to
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: see a woman take a selfie with the guy, and
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: I'm like, wait, who is that? It was Roman Anthony
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: from the Boston Red Sox. So I'm like, wait, that's
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: is that Roman Anthony? But he's injured. So then I
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: looked it up and sure enough, he had been in
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Fort Myers rehabbing his injury and he had just been
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: called up to go to Portland to make his way
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: back to the Red Sox. So this was on Monday morning.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: His first game at Portland was Tuesday, and so he
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: was only like four or five rows in front of
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: me in first class. I didn't talk to him because
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: you know, when the plane, you know, got off, they
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: get off first, so he was gone by the time
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: we got out there. But that was cool to see Roman.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: No one really knew it was him, only that only
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: that lady. She was the only one that knew it
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: was him. But that was cool moment. So yeah, I mean,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: that was that was really the highlight of the vacation.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: I got back and just spent a lot of time
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: at the house kind of you know, doing things there.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Jen went back to work, so she was working, so yeah,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: I just got stuff done at the house, stuff with
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: the pool. And then this weekend was kind of crappy.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: We didn't we didn't do much. We had Family Fun
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Day on Saturday, which in my town Salem, every summer,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: every August, they have Family Fun Day where they have
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: they block off the road and they have a place
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: called Field of Dreams with this big playground and they
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: have bouncy houses and food trucks and they had a
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: K Pop Demon Hunters show, which my wife loved. I mean,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: my daughter loved. But my wife couldn't go because she
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: had to work. So it was me and nanny taking
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: care of the kids. And so that was cool, you know.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: And then yesterday we just chilled. But it was good
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: to have the vacation. It was good to relax and
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: kind of have that reset. You really really notice it,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: especially like say Billy for example. You know, towards the
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: end of that last week, you know, you could tell
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Billy was just I was too just like Fried, like
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: you need that little bit of a break and shout
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: out with the people that left talkbacks talking about how
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: we're on vacation all the time. I love these people,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: they're the best. They're a very small percentage right of
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: the population. Most people are like, damn, you know I
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: said this on the show this morning, like damns, I
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: missed the show. I miss you guys. You're part of
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: my routine. But we get it, you're on vacation, can't
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: wait for you to get back. But there's like a
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: select few when I was going through the talkbacks this morning,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: like oh my god, you're on vacation again, like how
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: much vacation time do you have? Ten weeks? And I'm like,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: if you really think about it, it's really not. It's
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: four weeks. We take a week in March, a week
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: in July, a week in August, and then Christmas. So
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: we get two two weeks off in the summer, which
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: used to be back to back their first two weeks
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: in August, but we split them up, so I kind
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: of understand. I was talking to my boss about this
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: a while back. You know, we try to space it
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: out as much as possible. Obviously, we take the week
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: around fourth of July and then we take the We
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: took the third or second week in August, so it's
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: kind of close together, but it's also summer, so I
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: get it, and you know, I'm flattered right that to
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: even have any kind of emotion or feeling, be it
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: angry that we're not here. You know, it's important that
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: we're a part of your life and that means a
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: lot to us. So I get it. It's just funny
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: to listen, like, dude, I wish I had ten weeks.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: I wish let me tell you my next contract. If
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: you know, for whatever reason there's a money issue where
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: like they don't want to meet the number, because that's
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: you know, you have to negotiate, right, And I work
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: for a company. All companies are like that. You negotiate
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: back and forth. And then if they say, you know,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: we can't give you this amount of money. This is
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: only how much we can give you, you have to
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: negotiate other things, like more vacation time, because think about it,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: if if you're not going to get what you think
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: you just you know, you can ask for other things
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: that the company may give, like more vacation. So you know,
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that's gonna happen, but if they're
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: not gonna pay me, give me another week of vacation
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: at least it's something, you know, that's just my thought.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: So but maybe I'll maybe if I do, I'll do like,
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: you know, long weekends or something. But starting next year again,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: no more full show of vacations. That starts January, right
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: after Christmas. So that means if Billy's Billy's gonna take
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: his own vacation, Lisa's gonna take her own, I'm gonna
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: take my own, and we're just gonna have people fill in.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: So mikey, Gianna McCabe, Ashley from JAM and anybody else
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: you know, we'll have them put them in, which shouldn't
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: be an issue. Really. The only issue is when I'm
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: out to be honest, because just because I do so
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: many things. But it'll be fine, it'll be no, it'll
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: be no big deal. Well, I'll probably have Riley come
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: in to do my job and then have somebody else
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: in there to run the board because Riley knows what
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: I do the most out of anybody here, so she
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: can fill in. But that's cool. So that means year
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: round you'll get a live show. So I think that's
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: going to be really really huge. So again that starts
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: next year, and then you know, you can expect Billy
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: to start taking more time off. That's something that we
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: could he kind of you know, not negotiated, but that's
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: kind of the plan that we all came out with,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: you know, because he just signed a new deal. I
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: don't know if I've told you that. Yeah, another couple
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: of years. I think three years. Actually maybe more, I
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: don't know, but at least definitely two or three more years.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: But with as time goes on, you know, he'll start
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: taking more long weekends more, you know, because eventually, you know,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: Billy is going to retire. And if you remember, that's
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: what Maddie did. Remember he took a whole year every
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: Monday off and the new show formed while he was
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: off right, that was us, so well, it was Billy, Lisa,
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: My and Winning right, that was the new show. So
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: you can expect that in the next couple of years. Again,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: he's not leaving any time soon. They're going to try
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: to do it that way because we don't know what
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: the future holds, but it's got to hold something. I
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: just hope I'm a part of it. I think I
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: will be if I keep showing up doing my job,
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: keep you know, just keep plugging away, keep putting one
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: hundred percent in. I think that I will be and
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: I hope to be. But if I'm not, that's okay too.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: I'm happy with how far I've made it, and I
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: want to be here as long as possible to do
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: the show and to do this after show podcast because
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: it means a lot to me, man, it really does.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Like I like talking to you guys, I like having
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: guests on. I like having power of Recovery. You know.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: I was out this weekend. Oh that's one thing. Another
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: thing I did, I went to a boxing event at
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: the Boys and Girls Club in Salem, really cool for charity.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: My son's boxing Jim was a part of it, so
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: I wanted to bring him not just see the boxing,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: but to see you know, his coach and the fighters there.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: It was really great and I met some nice people there.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: I met someone over a vacation that you know, is
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: kind of struggling a bit, wants to get some help.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: There's't no way to turn. But here's the commercials power
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: of Recovery. I don't know if she listens to this podcast. Maybe,
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: but it's kind of been you know, bothering her and she,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: you know, she was asking me for my advice on
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: what she should do. So that was that was really good.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: That was really special and to just get these these
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: talkbacks like this one for when the guys come back in.
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: Justin I'm finally getting to the podcast, the Daymon Story podcast,
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: and I just wanted to share I am one hundred
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: and twenty days sober today.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like that's I mean, come on, come on, you know,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: that's just it's so amazing. So I love those talkbacks.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: Always keep those coming. But god, I met so many
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: people over the vacation that I ran into that were
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: listeners of the show. And I was thinking about this
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: last night when I was laying down, I was like,
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: I want to say something about this. You know, at
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: the gym, at the boxing event, there was a couple
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: of other times. You know, you meet people and they're like,
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: you know, I love the show. I love listening. You know.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: I know you're on vacation and that sucks, but you know,
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: you're a big part of our routines. Listen every day
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: and I can't wait for you to get back. And
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: I'm like, how lucky are we? You know, how lucky?
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: How lucky am I'll keep it on me. How lucky
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: am I right to have a job where I can
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: show up and I can have fun and it's a
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: lot of work, but it's a fun job and have
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: people that make us, that want us to be a
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: part of their lives. So they wake up in the
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: morning they listen, or if they can't listen in the morning,
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: they listen to the podcast. And you know one in particular,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: you know I talked about a while ago the phobia
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: that I have, the fear that I have. It's called
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: I think it's called trip to phobia. It's the fear
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: of small holes, so any kind of cluster of things.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: So think about a honeycomb, right, I get chelsy and
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: saying it anything like that gives me the hebgb's And
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: that's the name of it, trip to phobia. Don't google
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: it because you might have it too, and it will
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: ruin your day. So fair warning on that. Okay, fair warning.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: But I was I met this woman and we were
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: in a class together and I was using foam rollers.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: It was kind of a recovery heated class. So we're
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: using foam rollers and if you think about a styrofoam roller, right,
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: it kind of has those holes. But those ones don't
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: bother me. But afterwards I was talking to her and
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: she's like, yeah, I love the show. You know, thank
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: you much so much for making us laugh entertaining us.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: She's like, you know, I just feel so crazy because
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: I'm in class next to you when we're pham rolling.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: She's like, can I look over and I see you, like,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: you know, you know, rolling out your back and she's like,
