• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Hey guys, welcome to the after show podcast. It's Monday.
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: It's November 2nd. You know who I am. I am
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Justin and the show is over a little late today.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Doing a lot of behind the scenes stuff for the
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: voice of Logan. I'll get to that in a minute,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: but I hope your Halloween weekend was fantastic. Mine was
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: the trick or treating was great. We had people over
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: the house, uh, no issues for the most part, but
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: you know, most people in the neighborhood kept their lights on.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: They had candy. It was fun. Some gave out full
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: size candy bars, which, you know, in this economy, uh,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: It's not an easy thing to do, but they did.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: And yeah, my kids had a great time trick-or-treating around
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: the neighborhood. It's a great neighborhood. It's really a great
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: neighborhood to move kids in, to raise kids in. I'm
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: so grateful to have gotten the house that I'm at.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: It was always my dream. My first house that I
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: ever owned before this one was in Haverhill. It was
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: on a main road. Not just that, it was on
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: a hill. Get it? Haverhill. So my driveway was on
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: a slope. So not only was it on a main road,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: but the driveway was literally slanted. So it was a
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: fear of mine that my son, my daughter wasn't born yet,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: that my son would possibly roll down the street, the
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: driveway into the street. That was a real fear. Never happened,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: thank God. But my dream was always to raise a
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: family in a cul-de-sac or a dead-end street. And I
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: never really thought it would happen. But We got really,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: really lucky. You know, I may have told the story before,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: but I bought a house with my mother-in-law and my
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: wife in 2017 is when we got it. Okay. We
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: bought the house for $ 300, 000, which is a really tough
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: thing to do. I didn't make a lot of money.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: We had to save. There was a lot of credit
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: things going on, but we got the house. So we
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: bought it 2017. We lived there for three years and
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: then COVID hit. Okay. So COVID hit March of 2020.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: So then everything shut down. The interest rates went way down.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I wasn't paying attention to any of that, okay? I'm
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: in my house, fine, with the eventual goal of moving out, right?
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Because the house was set up where on the first floor,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: there was a room, okay? So you walk into the
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: kitchen and there was a room to the left, which
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: was not meant to be a bedroom. It was more
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: of a, I guess, I don't know. It was a
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: music room for the previous people. But then upstairs there
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: was three bedrooms or two– yeah, three bedrooms. So we
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: put Nani on the first floor and then we were upstairs.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: So we kind of had to live amongst each other,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: which it's not an easy thing to do. I always
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: say like the first night we lived in the house,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Nani came up and woke me up at like 2
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: in the morning, literally the first night. She was pulling
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: on my leg and I go, what are you doing?
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: She's like, you have to get up for work. I
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: don't get up until 3. It's 2 a.m. Leave me alone.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: So as much as I love her, It was like
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: eventually we're going to get a bigger house. So COVID hits,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: the world changes, and my cousin bought a house right
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: down the street. She had lived in Redding, but now
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: she moved right down the street. Her name is Jackie,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: by the way. She's a listener of the show, and
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: she calls in, and she leaves talkbacks sometimes. Cousin Jackie.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: You ever hear of Cousin Jackie in Haverhill? That's my cousin. Anyway,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: they bought a house right down the street. I went
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: by to say hello to her and her husband. She
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: wasn't there. He was. And he was kind of working
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: on the house. And, you know, it's a small house.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: It's a ranch, right? And, you know, not a huge
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: house at all. So I'm talking to him about the house.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: And he says to me, I forget why. He just said, yeah,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: you know, we got a decent deal on it. He
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: tells me how much he paid. And it was like,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I don't even know. It was like $ 375 per se.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: And I thought to myself, $ 375? you know, my house is,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: their house is just one level. My house is, you know,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: it's a two family, but two stories. I thought, wow.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: And so I started to like, you know, do some
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: research and I, and I realized that, you know, the,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: the interest rates were low and that everything was skyrocketing
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: in value. And so I called my realtor, shout out
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: to my man, Dan. And he's like, good thing you called.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: He's like, I can get you a lot of money
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: for your house. And I was like, But what do
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: we do? Like, how does that work? We have to
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: find a house. And he goes, well, I'll work with you.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: You know, I can get you, you know, I think
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I sold that house for, I want to say $ 450, 000.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: We made well over $ 100, 000 on that house. So we
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: began the search of looking everywhere for a new house.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: I wanted to go to New Hampshire. I just felt like,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: you know, Southern New Hampshire. I don't know. It's just
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: more land, more bang for your buck. But we looked everywhere.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: We looked in Haverhill. We looked in Plastow, a little
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: bit in Salem, and it was tough. We did not
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: have luck. We kept getting bought out. It was a
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: very hot market. We kept getting bought out by cash offers.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: So we put several offers in, and then somebody came
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: with a cash offer, and cash always wins. So it
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: was very hard, man. It was very hard not just
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: to find a house and get the offer accepted, but
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: also if we did, how is that going to match
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: up timeline-wise with getting out of our house. We did
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: not have a place to go. And really, what was
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: going to happen was we would have to stay in
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: a hotel. People have to do that. If you have
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: to get out of your house before your new house
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: is ready, you'd have to get a hotel. That's more money.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: It was a whole thing. So we're looking at houses.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: We saw a couple that we liked, put offers in,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: didn't get them. And then my wife– so our budget was–
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Five hundred thousand dollars. That was that's what we were
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: approved for. Again, you know, my credit is really good, but,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: you know, I have school loans and stuff. There's just
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: this thing's happening there. Right. So five hundred thousand dollars
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: was our max. So then one day my wife says
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: I found this house in Salem, New Hampshire. It looks
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: like it has everything that we want. It has an
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: in-law apartment. It has a pool and it has a
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: lot of land. So I looked at it. And the
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: pictures looked amazing, right? And I go, what's it listed for?
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: And it was listed for $ 540, 000 or $ 550, 000. And I
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: thought to myself, I'm not going to look at this house.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Why am I going to go look at it? Why
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: am I going to fall in love with it? And
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: then they say we can't get it. Like our max
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: is $ 500, 000. And shout out to my wife because my
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: wife is a hustler. She's a natural born hustler. She
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: is a go-getter. She is the perfect example. I think
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: we both are, but even her more so. Of, you know,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: she's in recovery, obviously. And like, think about people that
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: are addicts and alcoholics. You know, if you can take
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: that drive, right. And you can apply it to positive
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: things and good things, you can be successful. That's why
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: a lot of former addicts are super successful because they
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: just transfer. And for me, the example would be fitness, right?
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Like I'm really hyper-focused and dedicated to my fitness regimen
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: and And I basically just kind of turned that addictive
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: personality into the gym. Do I make it sick sometimes? Yes.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: But overall, it's a positive thing. So she says, okay,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: we won't go look at it. Fast forward a couple
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: of days. She says, I found this other house in Salem.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Let's go look at it. It's under $ 500, 000. So on
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: a Saturday, we drove out to that house. We looked
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: at it. We didn't really like it, you know, too much.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: And as we're leaving, she says, oh, my God, that
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: other house that's out of our budget is right down
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: the street and they're having an open house. Why don't
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: we just drive by? It's right there. It's literally a
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: quarter of a mile away. And so I'm like, okay, fine.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: I had no idea that she had put this whole
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: plan together. So we go there. I walk through the
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: house and I'm like, this is everything. This is my
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: dream house. I couldn't believe it. It literally had everything.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: It was beautiful. It had an upstairs. It had a
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: full apartment downstairs. It had a pool, a detached garage,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: a huge yard, a basketball net, a hot tub. I
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: was like, there's no way we're getting this house. There
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: is no way. So we leave, and I call my guy,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: the money guy, and I call Dan, my realtor. I go,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: what do we do here? He goes, we'll take care
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: of it. So they did some things. They ran some numbers.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: They crunched some stuff, and they got the approval. for
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: the 540 or 550, what it was. Okay. So now
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: the wait begins. We put the offer in. I wrote
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: a letter because that's what I did for my first house.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I did not want to do that. If you're looking
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: for a house or buying a house is in your future,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: write a letter. I know it sounds tacky. I know
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: it sounds cheap. I know it's maybe sounds like you're begging.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Trust me, people that are selling their homes, you know,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: think about how much a home means to somebody, right?
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Especially when you raise a family there, You want the
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: money for it, but if it comes down to two
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: people and they both are offering the same amount of
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: money and one writes a letter and you get to
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: know that family and maybe you connect with that family
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: and their kids, trust me, it works. So we wrote
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: a letter. There were over 100 offers on the house.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Now this is like– you want to talk about fate
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: or just really blessings. This family– The daughter listens to
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: the show, and the daughter knew who I was. So
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it was the letter, or I
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: don't know if it was the daughter listened to the show,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: but they chose us to buy their house. And so
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: that's how we got it. So when we went to
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: sign at the closing, it was the husband and wife,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: and they told us a story. that like my, our
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: daughter is a huge fan of the show and we're
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: so excited for you to buy it. So I never
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: really got the answer that I didn't even care. I
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: did not even care. We got the house and we
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: moved in in December of 2020. Okay. And it all
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: worked out with the old house, by the way, you know,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: it was literally, we had to, if I told the
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: story on the air about the movers cutting up my couch,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: cause they couldn't get it out of the room upstairs
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: because it's, go listen to that story. It's a whole
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: nother thing, but they couldn't get the couch out and
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: they had to cut it in half and throw it
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: out the window because we had to be out that
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: day had to be because someone bought the house and
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: they were moving in. So it all worked out. We
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: ended up sleeping one more night in that house, moved
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: everything to the new house. And then we were gone. Boom.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: It was pouring rain when we, when we moved in,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: it was absolutely nuts. So we move in December 1st
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: of 2020, probably the next day there had been some,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: some trees taken down on the side of the house.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: And so there was a bunch of dirt. So my
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: son and I, who was three years old at the time,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: I had a, I got a wheelbarrow and I was
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: like moving the dirt into the woods because there's woods
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: behind my house. So I'm moving it into the woods
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: and I'm dumping the dirt. Mind you, it's just dirt.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: And so I'm back there. And all of a sudden
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: this woman comes, she went through her backyard, then into
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: the woods and then came out of the woods into
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: my backyard. This older woman, And she starts, doesn't even
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: say hi, nothing. She just starts yelling. And she, and
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: she going, I hope you're not dumping stuff on my
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: side of the woods. You know, you shouldn't be doing that.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: And I just, I was cool. You know, I was cool.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: My son was right there. He's three years old. I go,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Yeah, it's just dirt. I'm not really putting it,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: you know, try to on your side, but it's woods.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: I'm just throwing, it's just dirt. Trust me. You can
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: go look at it. It's just dirt. And she goes,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: you got to watch out where you're putting stuff here.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Don't be putting stuff in my yard. And I'm like,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: the fuck is she talking about? I go, okay, fine.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Don't worry about it. Give me this dirty look. Right.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: And she walked away and she went back into her
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: yard and I go, that's weird. And then the whole
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: day I'm thinking to myself, man, I should have said
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: to her, how can you not introduce yourself? Like, what
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: kind of person are you? We just moved in. Okay.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: So wouldn't you know, the very next day I'm back
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: there in the yard and I don't know what I
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: was doing. I think I was moving more dirt or something.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: And I wasn't, And I got a picture. This is woods, right?
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Her property ends where the woods start. Okay. And by
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: the way, there's nothing back there, but dirt. I'm literally
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: putting dirt back there. And she comes back around and I,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: and I hear, I see her come out of the
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: woods again and she starts to talk and I just
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: lost it. I lost it. I just stood up and
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: I go, listen, you know, I said, we've been here
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: for three days. We're new to the neighborhood. You haven't
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: introduced yourself. You haven't asked our names. I don't know
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: who you are. And she goes, I don't care to
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: know any of you. I don't, don't be dumping stuff
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: in the woods. And then I just started yelling at
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: her and she was yelling at me. And I said,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: I said, that's it. Do not speak to me. If
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: you have something to say, if you have an issue,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: you can call the police, you can call the town,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: you can call those people, but we are done. And
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: she kind of just looked at me with this look.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: And I said, get off my property. And she walked away.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: And that was it. I've never spoken to her again.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: She doesn't come out of the house much. She has
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: a husband that I've never talked to that does all
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: the yard work, and they have a son who I've
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: never talked to. They've never talked to anybody in the neighborhood.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: And I guess it's always been like that. They moved in,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: I guess, in the mid-90s, and other people said, like
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: my neighbor Carol next door, because she hates everybody, has
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: never talked to anybody, just super mean. I guess when
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: she moved in in the 90s, another neighbor who's no
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: longer there walked up, knocked on the door to introduce herself.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: She opened the door and said, hello, and she shut
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: the door in her face. So I don't know. Some people, man,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: I try to think of it like What's going on
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: in their life, right? Take myself out of it. Like
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: what happened to this woman? What happened that she is
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: so angry? And the best part. Are you ready for
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: the best part? The previous owners who were great, right?
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: I guess there was an issue there because they raised
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: these three kids, right? And then when they got out
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: of high school– Well, maybe even during high school, the
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: parents had bought a house up north. So in the
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: summertime or I don't know what it was, every weekend
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: they would go spend time together and they would leave
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: the kids at the house. And so the kids, you know,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: being typical high school or late teens, would throw parties.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: And I guess the parties got out of hand. So
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: I guess there were some issues with dirt bikes and
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: loud cars and kids partying because the house is literally
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: built for partying. And so I guess, you know, she
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: was kind of the mean lady was sour about that.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: So when this new family moved in, she just basically
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: took it out on us. Little did she know that
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: we don't drink and we go to bed at fucking
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: seven o'clock every night. We were never outside in the dark.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: It's just the way it is. We don't party. You know,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: we party during the day. There's no alcohol. Nobody is loud.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Maybe kids, young kids. But there are no issues. So
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: you picked the wrong family lady. I know you're mad
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: about the previous tenants, but you shouldn't be mad at
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: us because you could not ask for better neighbors than us.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: And I'm not just I'm not trying to brag on that.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: All right. Where's Sherry? Hold on. I got to find
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Sherry here. I'm not bragging. Where are you? Stop bragging.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: I'm not bragging, Sherry. We are the perfect neighbors. I
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: clean my house up. I keep my yard nice. I
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: clean the leaves. The grass is always cut. We're not loud.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: We don't drink. We are the perfect neighbors. So, yeah,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: we've never spoken again that whole time. And when the
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: tree came down last month, we had a big storm.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: A tree fell out of her yard into my yard. Now,
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: I could have went to her, knocked on her door.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: I could have made a big deal, made her pay
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: to get rid of it. I didn't. I didn't say anything.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: And God forbid she, they know it came from their yard.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: God forbid when I'm out there cutting the tree up
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: with my friend and lugging all the wood into the woods,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: the branches and everything. God forbid she could have came
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: out and said something. She didn't. She kept her mouth
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: shut for that. But I didn't. I hired somebody. Well,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: I didn't hire somebody. I asked my friend and his
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: dad to come over. They helped me with chainsaws. And
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: I was out there for hours lugging wood, lugging branches,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: then cleaning up the yard. It was a complete mess. Okay.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be like, look at me. But
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: I just didn't want to deal with it. I did
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: not want to deal with any of the drama. So
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: that's the mean lady. That's the mean lady story. But yeah,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: my house is literally made for partying. It's the craziest
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: thing because it's a split ranch. But then– so the
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: house was built in 1965 and I'm not sure if
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: the guy that lived there– I think it was just
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: one owner. It was a guy by the name of Dr. Play. OK. Now, Dr.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Play built playgrounds. OK. He built– A lot of the
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: playgrounds in and around Salem and everywhere else, the playground
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: at my son's school, he built. So in the house,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: the downstairs was like a workshop for him. And then
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: he built an addition and put a pool in or
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: moved the pool, an in-ground pool in a detached garage.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: He added all of this stuff. And with the hot
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: tub there, the house is literally– When you go into
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: the backyard, there's a huge driveway. The garage has the
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: huge yard. It has a fire pit. It has an
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: in-ground pool. It has a hot tub. It's like it's
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: made for parties. When people come to my house, they're like, oh,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: my God, this is like the spot. Meanwhile, yeah, we're
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: sleeping at 8 o'clock. Like we just don't party anymore. So, yeah, Dr.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Play owned it, and then he ended up retiring, moving
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: to Maine, I think. And then that next family bought
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: the house, and they lived there for, I think– 12,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: 13 or 14 years. And then that brings us full
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: circle because on Halloween, uh, we went trick or treating
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: with my friends and the kids and everything. And my
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: buddy Adam, he kind of hurt his ankle a little bit.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: So he's like, look, I'll, uh, non. Okay. So non,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: he wasn't feeling good. Non, he couldn't do trick or treating.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: She couldn't stay, sit out there with her cigarettes and
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: get the candy out. So Jen was gonna, so Jen
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: was not going to be able to walk with us
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: and the kids. So it was a whole discussion, right?
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: I was like, I'll do it. Then she's like, no,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: I'll just do it. It's fine. But my buddy Adam
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: came and he couldn't– his foot was hurting. So he
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: said he'll stay back. So when we came back from trick-or-treating,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: he goes, I met the previous owners. So the kids,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: two of the kids that live there, one of them
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: has a child or children or whatever. And for trick-or-treating,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: they drove down to their old neighborhood and took their
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: kids trick-or-treating. And so they come up to the house
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: and they're like, oh my god, like the house looks
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: so good. We used to live here. Justin bought the house.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: I wasn't there. And so that was cool. I'm so
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: bummed I missed them because I would have given them
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: a tour. You know, like that's cool. They grew up
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: their whole lives or most of their lives in that house.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: They built so many memories. They did send me messages
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: when I bought the house. Just like we enjoy the house.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: The house is the best. You know, we grew up there.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: We love it. So I would have loved to give
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: them a tour of the house and kind of show
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: the work that I did because I did a lot
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: of work to the house. You know, I did the siding.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: I did roofing. I did new windows. In the back,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: I just did a bunch of work. It looks completely
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: different as to when I bought it. But I missed them.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: So it is what it is. But, yeah, trick-or-treating went good.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: It's a lot of candy. And then the candy mixed
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: with the time change, with the clocks falling back. Man,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: that's not easy for kids. My daughter was ready to
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: go to bed at 6 o'clock last night. And then
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: on Sunday morning, we let them get up, have a
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: piece of candy. So, you know, whatever. It's Halloween. Halloween.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: That's what you do on Halloween. All right. So Voice
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: of Logan, that's happening Thursday. Oh, my God. I've been
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: so busy with all of this stuff, meetings and everything.

• 19:49
  Speaker 1: with the winner. whoever the winner is. We do not

• 19:56
  Speaker 1: know by now. I mean, the voting ended last Wednesday,
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: I think, at midnight. A lot of people voted. A
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: lot of people. So there can only be one. That

• 20:12
  Speaker 1: you know, some fun stuff to play on the show.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: You know, kind of like a recap, right? Like we
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: had Rich Davey on multiple times, the hype, moving from
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: five finalists to eight finalists, all the national coverage, all
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: of the talkbackers that joined in on the fun, the celebrities,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Ben Affleck, your cousin from Boston, Jimmy Fallon. You know,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: I kind of want to encapsulate all of that. So
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: I've been working to kind of produce a piece that
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: we can play, you know, on Thursday when the winner
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: is here. So just looking at it, man, I wrote
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: this whole script, man, this has like been so much fun.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Just like seeing it all laid out, you know, the
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: beginning of the search, you know, the hype around it,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: 43 million people will hear this at Logan airport, you know,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: open to residents of Massachusetts, uh, the celebrities that had fun,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: our listeners, our families. You know, I'm going to throw

  Speaker 1: play a clip of their, you know, audition. And then
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: it'll end with the winner. You know, when all the
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: votes were counted, we found the new voice of Logan. Ah!
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know. That's just the way I envision it
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: in my head because it's been a great contest. It's
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: been a really, really great contest. And we're lucky that
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: they chose us, Kiss 108, to team up with and
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: do it. So that will happen Thursday morning at 710.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Make sure you are listening for that. Lisa was in
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: New York today. She's at the Today Show. She's meeting
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: with Jenna Bush Hager to come up with some book
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: club stuff, book club ideas for next year. You're going
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: to be seeing more Jenna Bush, so that's really cool.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Lisa doing big things with the book club. And then
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: we have Maureen Hancock in this morning. That was cool.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't know. People go crazy for Maureen Hancock.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you. She freaks me out sometimes. Sometimes when
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: she does the readings, I'm like, God, I got so
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: many talkbacks from people, especially people that were on the show.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Saying thank you for putting them on, like Sherry from Dracut.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Sherry had been asking me for like a week since
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: we announced she was coming back. But Jamie, how freaking
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: cool was that? I'd play them, but there's too much
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: going on here. She connected with her brother. Shane, thank
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: you for that. Yeah, and then Sherry from Dracut, very happy.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: So shout out to our listeners. Shout out to Maureen Hancock.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: MaureenHancock.com if you want to go see her live. I
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: might take my wife. My wife's seen her before many,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: many years ago. She's been around forever. And she's a
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: big fan. She believes in all that stuff. So maybe
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: I'll take my wife there. But we have a date
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: night Saturday night. Comics come home. Let's go, baby. We
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: got a hotel. We have dinner reservations. And then we're
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: going to Comics Come Home at the Garden. It's going
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: to be a good lineup. 30-year anniversary. Right? That's pretty cool.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: How about the lineup? The lineup's incredible. Dennis Leary, Lenny Clark.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: Those are, you know, recurrent. Alex Edelman. We liked him.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Jimmy Fallon. Speaking of Jimmy Fallon. Sam Jay. She's funny.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Leslie Jones, Bobby Kelly, John Mulaney, Ray Romano, John Stewart,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: all going to be there Saturday night. So the, the,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: the parents, my wife and I get a night out.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: So that's a good, a good deal. We'll be eating,
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: eating at, oh my God, I can't remember the restaurant
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: right into the garden. Alcove. I think it is Alcove. Yeah.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: So we'll eat dinner there, go to the show and
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: then sleep out and spend some time together, which is
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: much needed. So that's good. And Friday morning, At 840,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: we're giving out front row tickets to comics come home, which,
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: you know, is a good thing and a bad thing. Well,
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: it's a good, it's really a good thing, but it
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: can be a frightening thing because when you're in the
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: front row at a show like that, they might pick
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: on you a little bit, especially Bobby Kelly. Bobby likes
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: to pick people out of the front, right in the
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: front row and talk shit to them and call them out.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: But I mean, that's like a once in a lifetime
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: thing to sit front row at a show like that.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: You know, Ray Romano, John Mulaney, Jimmy Fallon. Oh, just fantastic.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: So 840 on Friday for that. So as always, leave
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: a talk back. You have any questions? You have any comments?
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: You have any concerns about things? I did get a
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: talk back about Matty and Damon from last week. You know,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: I was going to save it and play it for
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: them when they were here. Someone wasn't happy with Damon's
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: part two, which, you know, I completely understand. the interruptions
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: with Maddie and myself. I am guilty of that. I know. Um,
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: I didn't listen back to it. So I do apologize
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: for that. The only defense I can come up with
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: is that we're all really good friends, especially Maddie and Damon.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: They're like brothers and all they do is mess with
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: each other. So it's just, I think it's hard for
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: them not to do that. So if it, if it
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: was too much, if there were too many interruptions for Damon,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: I do apologize for that. I really do. But I
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: did get a lot of talk backs that people loved
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: it too. So, But I do know what you mean.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: I try to be aware of that. I want it
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: to be funny and engaging, but I don't want it
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: to be too distracting, the interruptions. So I do apologize
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: for that. And again, the boys will be back next
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: month and we'll chat about all that stuff. All right.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: All right, Army. Enjoy the day. 70 degrees, November 2nd.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? Peace.
