BIG Meetings... · Billy & Lisa in the Morning: The After Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: All right, here I am checking in After Show Army.
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: I am present for class. What up? I'm Justin. It's
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: a Tuesday, November 10th. We have a big meeting here
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: at the radio station. That's coming up at 10 a.m.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: So I wanted to spend a couple of minutes with
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: you guys, the After Show Army. Yeah, all the bigwigs
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: have flown in. It's kind of a weird meeting. They
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: called it like two or three weeks ago. They said
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: put aside this time from 10 to 12 on this
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: date today, November 10th. But didn't really say what it's about.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: I have an idea, you know, because I have little
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: sources in and around the radio station. You know, leaks happen.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: So it's nothing crazy. At least no part of it
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: is just about programming stuff that they're going to make changes.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: But still, it's not common that four of the biggest
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: bosses in our whole company flying in on a Tuesday.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Get a little nervous there. They tend to let people
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: go on Tuesdays. Not that I think that's going to happen.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: I mean the whole staff has to go there, all
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: of programming, all of sales. So I think they're just
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: like changing things, rolling things out or taking things away.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Just like radio station business I guess. But I'll give
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: you the report tomorrow. I'll let you know how it went.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of people buzzing around. They have signs
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: all over the building welcoming these people. Some food here
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: as well. So it's basically like my boss's boss and then–
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: There's a guy named Dennis Clark. Dennis Clark is like
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: the morning show wizard in our company. He's the VP
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: of talent. So basically his job. So he started with
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Ryan Seacrest and I believe Rick D's in LA, but
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: he basically produced for Ryan Seacrest, helped Ryan build his
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: morning show. And now they moved him up for many,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: many years ago to coach talent around the country. So
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: he flies around and kind of coaches new shows, older shows,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: struggling shows, He comes in and like gives you kind
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: of a guide on things to do and things not
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: to do. One of the best guys ever, Dennis Clark.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: And then my boss's boss is Thea. Her name is
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Thea and she's out of New York. So she runs
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: The Breakfast Club. She runs that whole radio station and
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: probably many others as well. But she– I've never really–
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I don't really know her that well but she's like legit.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Like she's a bad B if you know what I mean. She,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: in a good way, I mean, not in a bad way,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: in a good way, like a lot of respect for her.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I always remember that, you know, when I worked on Jammin',
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: I had produced for the Breakfast Club for a short time.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: And it always stuck out to me that, you know,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: the members of the Breakfast Club would refer to her
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: as coach. That always stuck out to me. You know,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: they wouldn't call her by her name. They call her
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: coach because she was like their coach, you know, and
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: they had a great relationship. So she's coming in. And
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: then some other sales executives who I'm not really familiar with,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: but we'll get to know. today, you know? So I
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: remember back in the day, like being an intern or
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: a part-time employee, and they would call these meetings and
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: I would feel so awkward and weird because I didn't
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: know anybody. And, you know, again, that imposter syndrome, like
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I don't belong here. What am I doing here? Everyone's
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: looking at me, especially before, you know, my past came out.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: I was scared every day, every day I came to
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: work and thought this was going to be the day.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: This was going to be the end where my past
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: would get leaked. Not that my past was anything like, Um,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: you know, things to get canceled for just, I mean,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: about getting arrested and jail and drug addiction, you know,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. I always thought the day was going
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: to come, but it never did. Thank God. And people
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: actually embraced it, you know, and then now I'm able
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: to use, you know, my platform to get the message
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: out that recovery is possible. It's the most important thing
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: that I do much more important than stupid clips that
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: I play on the radio. It's getting that message out.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I'll give a report tomorrow. an update on
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: what happened. Although if it's like basic programming stuff, maybe
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: you probably wouldn't understand. Like someone told me that part
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: of it is live reads, which we already do. I
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: guess a lot of other shows, most other shows don't
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: do live reads, meaning, okay, so you have commercials. Okay.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: So we go to commercials. Those are all prerecorded, obviously.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: But then on our show, we do live reads. So
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: you hear Lisa do live reads for Atlantic Power Cleaning
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: or Jeep or Pella Windows. I do New England sawn
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: is live. So you might hear a prerecorded one in
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: the commercial break. But then when we come out of traffic,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: we're going back into song music and content. That's where
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: live reads go. So they're important because a lot of people,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: you know, people tend to change the station when commercials start.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: But when they know we're coming back into music and
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: back into content, they'll listen. So those live reads are
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: really important. So I think they want to start rolling
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: those out to other shows and personalities around the country,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: which I think is a great thing. You might've heard
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: my live read today for permanent lighting of new England, baby. Yeah,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: this is brand new, man. So really cool. I partnered
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: up with this permanent lighting of new England amp smart.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: It's a, it's permanent lighting. I'm getting put on my house.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: These guys are amazing. So, I met with them last
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: week and had no idea that we had so much
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: in common. One of the owners from Revere, I'm from Malden.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: We're around the same age. We don't know each other,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: but so many things in common. We clicked right away.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: And what they do is lighting that you never take down.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: It's really high-end permanent lights that can be any color
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: you want. So obviously Christmas, you can use it, but
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: then they stay up. And you can change the colors
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: all from your phone to anything you want, all pink.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: You can just do like regular lights. You can do Patriots, St.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Patrick's Day, holidays, anything, literally anything. They light up. You
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: can make them like move and change colors. It's like insane.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: They came to my house because I do Christmas lights,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: very basic, but I'm not climbing on ladders, maybe on
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: the porch. That's it. But my wife and I were
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: talking and we're like we put these lights up. Then
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I got to take them down. They're a mess to store.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: And I didn't even know about the permanent lighting thing.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: So I met with these guys and they kind of
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: told me what they did and I'm like, can you
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: do this at my house? So they came out last
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: week and showed me. So basically they're going to go
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: like on the peaks of my house and then we
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: have a split ranch. So we have kind of an
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: overhang in the front and they're going to go under there.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: So it will be like really good lighting for the front.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: And then I can control the different zones. So if
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: I only want to put on just basic like white
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: lights underneath to like make it look good at night,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: I can't. Then I can also put the peak lights on,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: say for Christmas or say for all pink for my daughter,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: which she's really excited about. So anyway, that's happening. It
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: was supposed to happen Friday, but I think they're going
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: to move it to Monday because of the rain. So
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: you might have heard me do a live read for
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: that this morning. That's happening. I'll post it up though.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: I'll post the whole process up. It's going to be really,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: really cool. I'm telling you, the permanent lighting thing is
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: a game changer. It really is because Lord knows I'm
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: not getting on a ladder. Lord knows I'm not climbing
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: up there like Chevy Chase in Christmas Vacation. I'm just
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: not going to do it. And I don't want my
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: wife to do it either. And I don't know. One
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: of the coolest parts too is you don't see them
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: during the day. Like the way they put them in,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: they look like they're a part of the house. You
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: don't even see them. But at night you do. All right.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: So it's getting close to 10 a.m. I guess I
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: got to jump in this meeting now. Anyway, I love
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: you guys. Sorry for the short podcast today. Tomorrow I'll
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: be back with more fire. So make sure you leave
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: a talk back. And as always, thank you for listening.
