Ticket Sales and Ice Dams... · Billy & Lisa in the Morning: The After Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: God, no one wants to join me on the after
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: show today? What happened to people? But you got me
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: and that's all that matters. Hi, everybody. After Show podcast
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: is on just before ten am on a Thursday. The
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: show wrapped up, and yeah, I was trying to grab
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: someone to come on. I should plan a little bit better,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: but you know, I'm planning the show. I'm trying to
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: do my best to play on the show and do
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. The after show sometimes is after thought.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: That does not mean that the podcast is not important.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: It is very important to me. I do think about it.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: But that's kind of the looseness of the podcast, right.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: You know, we do the show and then the after
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: show comes on and we talk about whatever, you know,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: stuff going on with the show or not. So in
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: this case, a couple of things I want to hit
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: from today's show. The secret Sound because people are dming
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: me NonStop about it. The jackpots over five thousand dollars.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: We started with the hint thing today at eight ten.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: We'll do hints every day at eight ten, and the
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: first hint was kind of it's posted on the podcast,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: but the hint was basically that in a previous guess
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: somebody kind of got it right or use part of
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: what the secret sound is. So you kind of got to,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: you know, put your detective hat on and go to
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Injury Money on Instagram, look through the guesses and try
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: to piece together a guess. And remember, if you're trying
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: to win this money, if you're trying to call it
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: for the secret sound, you want to be descriptive. You
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: want to explain what it is. You don't want any
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: one word answers. We had a meeting with the boss
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: I think it was last week and someone had called
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: and said like a one word answer, and you said,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: justin you got to tell these people, please be descriptive,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: explain what you think the secret sound is. So that's
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: why I say it. You know, there's a little behind
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: the scenes for you on what happens. You know, there's
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: a whole team off the air working behind the scenes
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: on everything that we do, and they kind of guide
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: us and sometimes boss us around, but not really they're
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: super cool, but they kind of guide us and answer
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: questions and you know, tell us what direction to go
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: in because it is a lot of money and we
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: want to give it away, but we want to execute it. Properly.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: And it's so funny because today we did a whole
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: thing on tickets and how hard it is to get
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: tickets like Harry Styles and Noah Khan, Ariana Grande and
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: everybody started leaving talkbacks like what about the secret fucking sound.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: I've been calling every day and listen. I grew up
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: listen to the radio. I tried to call a radio
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: station a million times. I think I won tickets one time.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: That's it. That's actually a good segment idea, right, how
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: many times have you call the radio station and gotten through?
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Some people are just lucky, like Riley's friend Kelly that
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: got Harry Styles tickets three different times. She said, it's
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: just luck. I don't know what it is. I know
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: that we have six lines. I'm looking at them right now.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: We have six lines to the studio. So think about
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: how many people are listening. We can actually tell how
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: many people are listening every single day, and it's a lot.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: It's upwards of a million people in the morning, you know,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: people in Boston, in and around Boston going to work.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: That's just in their regular radios. Then you have the
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: people listening on the iHeart app, which, by the way,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: there is a small delay on there, so you kind
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: of got to do the math there. You know, the
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: delay is probably I don't know, it's like ten seconds,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: so you've got to kind of light it up. That
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: gets a little bit funky, but there's nothing we can
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: do about that. It is what it is. But yeah,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know. If there's no winner today, Tomorrow morning
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: eight ten will give another hint and maybe it'll be
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: a better hint. The first one was kind of the
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: initial one I will say. So that's that. And also, yeah,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: I mentioned the ticket prices thing. That's other trying to
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: get the tickets. That's insane, man, it's insane. With Harry Styles,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: I feel bad, but it reminds me of the sneaker game.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: You know. I used to be so into sneakers and
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: trying to get them with such a nightmare that eventually
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I just gave up because I want to buy them,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: but you can't get them at retail. So you know,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: we're online, they drop sold out immediately, or if you
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: get get them into your cart, you get carjacked, which sucks.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: That's happened so many times. And really it's like all
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: about who you know? You know? Do you know somebody
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: that can be a plug for you, that can get them.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of back door stuff at these places,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: these sneakers stores. You know, if you know them, they're
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: they're not putting them all on the shelves, and they're
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: not putting them all into the raffle entries or whatever.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: They're sneaking them out the back door to people that
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: they know in their friends. I mean, that's just the
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: way it is, the way the world works. It's all
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: about who you know. So, yeah, that was an interesting conversation.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: And yeah, I don't know. It's Thursday, Super Bowl this weekend,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: looking forward to it. We put the food order in.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: We're getting a five foot long sub from Brelli's, some
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: wings and some sausages. There's a little bit of a
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: concern here because you know, the guys are coming over
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: to the house and some ladies and the wives, and
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: you think about a five foot sub, the big friggin sub.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: But if you also think I'm good for a foot long,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: my friends are good for a foot long. So if
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: three or four of the guys all get a foot
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: that's three or four feet, only leaves a foot left.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Is there going to be enough food? I know it's
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: complete gluttony, but it's a genuine concern. So I was
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: talking to my wife about it, and she's like, I'll
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: make a ton of apps. She makes these like meatball things.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: There'll be a shot GUDERI board. They'll be cheese and
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: crackers or whatever, chips and salt. So maybe some nachos
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: plus the sausages, plus the wings, and we'll be all set. See,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: that's the thing when you don't drink, right, you don't
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: like drink beer or whatever. I mean, most people they
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: drink Super Bowl, they have a party, there's a ton
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: of alcohol. We don't, so we're only concerned about the
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: food because the food is the only thing that's exciting
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: besides the game. Obviously spending time with your family and
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: friends is great too, But when there's no alcohol, you
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: think about the food. Like when we go out to restaurants,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: it's about the food. And there's a running joke with
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: my wife and I because whenever we go to a restaurant,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: we're in and out. We're the best frigging customers at
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: a restaurant because when we go out, we don't drink.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: So think about it. Oh, you get a drink, maybe
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: you get an appetizer, you get another drink, you get
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: your meal. You kind of graze the meal because you're drinking.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: After you eat, maybe you get another drink, you know,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: depends on how much you drink. But we don't do
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: any of that. We're just starving and we want to eat.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: So we get there, we get the apps, we get
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: the entrees, we eat, and we're out. So it really
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: is funny, like we're in and out of there in
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: no time. It's crazy. So yeah, super Bowl this weekend,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: that's exciting. What else is gonna be cold again?
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Man?
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: I got ice on my roof. I have my boy Alan.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Shout out to Alan. Man. This guy is the MVP.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: He's a good friend of mine. I actually might have
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: him on the podcast. We've been talking about it. Yeah,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: this is someone that goes way back years years, years
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: and years ago. I met him after I got clean
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: and he was trying to get clean and he was
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: a complete fucking disaster and we kind of had a
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: falling out. I don't want to tell the whole story
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: because if I have him on, we'll tell the story
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: on the podcast if he's willing, which I'm sure he is.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: But we went many years without seeing each other because
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: I thought he was dead. That's just the simple truth.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Like years went by, and every year or two, some
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: of my friends and I would say to each other, Hey,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: remember Alan so and so, and they go, yeah, they go,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: is he still alive? And I would be like, he's
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: got to be dead, man, you know, like the way
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: he was using I don't know. And I would go
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: online and I would search his name in obituary because
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: I've done that before, Like if that's the way it
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: works right in the addiction world, especially when you're in recovery.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Relapses a big part of addiction and getting clean. So
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: when people go away and you stop hearing from them,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: they either stayed clean and just stop coming around to
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: like the recovery circles, or they relapsed or they died,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: and so I would like, you know, look them up.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: But every time I looked up him, he wasn't in
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: the obituary. And then fast forward it had to have
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: been I don't even know. I think it was eight years,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: maybe seven or eight years, and then boom one day
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: I was at a meeting and there he was, and
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: I was like, holy shit, you are alive. So our
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: history goes way back, and you know, he's a dear
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: friend of mine. He's a plumber. He's a he's got
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: his plumbing license. You know, you want to talk about.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: That's the beautiful thing about about you know, my friends
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: and the people in my life, most of which are
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: in recovery. And yes, you look at my story and
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: it's really cool because of where I came from, when
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: what I was able to do get on the radio.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: But every one of my friends, my wife included, all
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: have a story themselves that is cool. And he's another
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: one right has been around the block and back on
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: the streets, prison, all everything you can name of, right
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: near death. And he is a licensed plumber now you know,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: makes great money, has a family and all that stuff.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: So we're actually going on a vacation with them to
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Aruba next month, which we can't wait for. So, yeah,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: he is my plumber. Whenever I have an issue I
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: call him. He thinks that I manifest these issues at
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: my house because you know, I'll call him and be like, hey,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: like there's something wrong with my sink, and he'll come
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: right over and then like two days later, I'm like, hey,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: my bathtub's not working right. So but he's super cool.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: So I have these ice, this ice on my roof,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: and you know, I'm not gonna get up on the ladder.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: I don't like heights. I'm a biach. And he was like,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: I'll come check it out. So he was there last night,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: up on the on the roof, which, by the way,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: you get on this ladder, you're putting the ladder up
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: onto like the gutters right to get up to the roof,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: which is covered in ice. Okay, So I'm holding the
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: ladder at the bottom, and I'm thinking to myself, if
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: this freaking kid falls, it's gonna be on me. I
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: was actually thinking, if he does slide off, what will
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: I do? Will I try to jump under him and
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: break his fall and take some of the pain away.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: I was actually thinking that what I don't know. There
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: was a snow pile kind of to the left, so
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: if he did fall, maybe he could try to land
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: in the snow pile, or maybe I would try to
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: be the harrow and run over and try and try
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: to break his fall. I mean, it is like it's
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: two stories up right the top of my house. But
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: he was up there chipping away at the roof, so
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: shout out to you, Alan, thank you so much. If
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: you hear this, I love you and I appreciate you
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: one hundred percent. He's coming back today to do the
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: other side of the house, which has a ton of ice. Man,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: this homeowner stuff is not easy. You know, if you
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: listen into this, you own a house, you know, you
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: know there's benefits to renting, and there's benefits to owning.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Some of the benefits to renting is you don't got
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: to handle things like shoveling and snow removal, and you know,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: if something breaks, you just call the people and they
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: come and fix it, the owners. But when you're a homeowner,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: you got to deal with everything yourself. So it's great
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: to be a homeowner. I love it so much. But
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: problems happen, and things happen, and you got to know
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: who to call, and sometimes it costs money, or sometimes
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: you have someone like an Alan, who's a dear friend
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: who just wants to help. So that's that. It's nice
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: though today it's it's blue skies, but it looks cold.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: It's twenty three degrees o yikes. Anyway, I love you guys.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Make sure to check in on the talkbacks. I think
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: I had to talk back about my roof hair. Let
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: me check this out there. It is right there.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: We did that trick where you put icy melt in
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: the pantyhose and then you throw it on the roof
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: to melt the ice stands. Not only did it not
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: work that well, but when the snow finally melted in
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: the spring, there were all these like deflated, brown, wet,
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: squiggly pantyhose all over our roof. You would like the
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: control top panel.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Ugh nasty. We did not do they ice melt thing.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: I had pantyhose from my mother in law downstairs. I
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: got some old pantyhose and I was going to put
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: the ice melt in the pantyhose, but we didn't. He
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: just chipped away at the ice. I know, there's like
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: pellets you can get. So the other side of the house,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: which I didn't even know about, it is covered in ice.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: It's about six inches deep. He did a little bit
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: of work on it. But he's gonna have to come
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: back today when it's lighter route and maybe some sun
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: hit it during the day. It looks nice out right now,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: and maybe we'll do the ice smelt thing. You're not
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: supposed to pour the ice melt on. I know that
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: maybe we'll do the panty host trick. I don't know.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: All I know is that this winter's got to end.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: It's just so cold, all right? What else here? Hello?
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Just a gire Okay, Well, hello to you too. Talkbacks
