• 2:34
  Speaker 1: never never met her, I did know anything about her.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: We needed a phone screen er. Jojo left. We had
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: a girl from the Street Team. She lasted about a
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: month and then I don't know what her deal was.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: She was super nice, maybe it wasn't her thing, and
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: so she left. And then they were like, well, it's
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: a girl, Riley that really wants to jump in and
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: she's really eager. So that's when you came to be
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: our producer, right, yep. Exactly a little over two years.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Basically emailed McCabe and Dylan basically begging them to
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: let me, just answer your phones.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: That's it. That's it. I mean, you do so much
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: more than just answer the phones.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Now yeah, yeah, so what time.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: What Riley has done on the show is basically she
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: would assist Winnie and I. Right, so she answered the phone.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: She does the podcast. So any podcast issues you DM, Riley, Yeah,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: actually please do Yeah, what is your instagram?
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Riley k O'Brien, Riley k O'Brien.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Okay, so she does the podcast, answer the phones, and
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: then she also helps me and she helped Winnie too.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: And how she helped me was remember when didn't you
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: fill in for me when I was out? Yes?
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh my god. It was like three days of
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: me being like, I don't know what I'm doing.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Now you did a fine job. And then you
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: also backed up Winnie on the board, so you would
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: fill in for her if she had to go to
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: the bathroom or if she was out, you would fill
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: in on that, right.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: You also do the five am hour every day before
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: the show. You do Saturday morning eight to nine am,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the best of the week. Those are things that I
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: had when you started to show an interest in wanting
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: to be on air, I said, can you please take
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: these off my hands because I've been doing them for
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: so long and that's how I got my foot in
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: the door. Right, So it's good practice. Right. Do you
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: like doing it?
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: I like doing it. Yeah.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Are you upset that I pawned it off on you?
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: No? No, I'm not upset. I did I wish that
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: stuff like that came with more money, Yes, yes, I point,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: but you know, we all have to start somewhere. And
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: that's the advice that you always give me.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: That's it. I know it sucks. It sucks to say
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: because I remember when I was like coming up and
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: I've made no money for so many years, and my
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: family told me to walk away, and there were people
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: that would hear longer that said your time will come.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Your time will come, And it's true. Can I say
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: the same thing to you? You never know when your
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: time is going to come? Okay, So that's what you've
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: been doing for the past couple of years. And then
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden one day they're like, we're doing
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: layoffs and they lay off Winnie. That was crazy. Now,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: that morning was nuts. I've told the story from my
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: point of view. Now from your point of view. You
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: were in your studio, did you even know something was
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: going on.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Oh, I had no idea. You guys actually scared me
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: badly because I was putting up the podcast and you came.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: You and Dylan walked into the main studio and you like, onto,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: oh yeah, I called you a glass that is between us,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: and it scared me so bad and I walked in.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: I went, I tried to make a joke like, I
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: was like, oh, you guys scared me, and everybody's face
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: was like so blank that I was like, okay, not
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: the time we're joking.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we get no warning on that stuff.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Oh, no idea, it's.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Crazy, It's crazy. Okay, So my first time will pause there.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: My first time it ever happened to me. I came
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: in working as an intern on the Romero and Pebble's
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: morning show on Jammin' and that was a show that
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: had been around forever. So I was an intern on there,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: and one day, just like that morning, I went, I
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: was working in the studio. The show ended, and then
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: I saw people going in and out of the studio.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: I really didn't know what was going on. And then
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Santi came in and I never forget the look on
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: his face, and he's like they've got rid of Melissa
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: and Pebbles, two of the co hosts on the show,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: gone crazy, and I go, oh, what do you mean gone?
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: What do you mean? They're like they're gone. Like that's
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: how that's how it goes. So that was my first experience.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: But every time it happens, and it's happened since then,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: it happens in every company. That's the thing that sucks,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Like it could happen to me, It could happen to
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: any of us, you know. It's just it's a really sucky.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Thing, especially when we work for such a big company.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's crazy. It happens at the same exact time
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: across the entire country. There isn't I can't say this enough.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: There isn't like a time when they come to us
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: and say, hey, we're thinking about.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Doing this change.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: They just do it. It's like I remember I said
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: to my boss, I go, is it like does it
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: have to be this way? And it's like, yeah, the
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: decision has been made. There's not like going back from it.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: It's a tough thing. So that happened that morning, right,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: So then they tell us what's going on, and then
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: so obviously Winnie's role on the show was multiple things, right.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: She was the voice, okay, so she spoke on the show.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: She was a co host, and then she was also
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: a producer and so she ran the board and she
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: did some other things, the video cameras, all that stuff.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: And luckily Riley had been already doing it right. So
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: some people make comments like, oh, you were you training
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Riley to take over for Winnie. First of all, you
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: didn't take over for Winnie, like you don't speak on
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: the show.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not the same role.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: You're a producer. Yeah. So luckily we had you right
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: because if it wasn't you, it was going to be me.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and that would not work.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: That would not work on the show. That would not
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: work on the show. So so Riley, you've definitely stepped up,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: and you've definitely obviously we're trying to fill up avoid
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: producing wise and on the air wise, you know what
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: I mean. And so the producing part is really an
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: important piece to it, and you've done a great job.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Thank you. I think a lot of things. Another thing
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: that people don't realize too, is that when you guys
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: are away on vacation, I'm producing the show by myself
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: like you do. All of the tracks. But then I'm
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: here making sure that it runs correctly. And I have
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: been doing that for like a year now. So they
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: luckily knew that they could trust me, which is a
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: good thing that it worked out like that. Like it
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: it sucked and we didn't know what was going to happen,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: but like I guess it was good that I was there.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: It's great that you were there. It's great that you
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: were there. And I've told you this before about my
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: like journey and radio. I just learned as much as
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: I could, and then like when an opportunity came, you know,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: sometimes at a in a sad instance, you're there ready
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: to go, like Okay, I can step in, I can
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: fill this position, I can do this work. So it's
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: been you've helped make the transition easier, you know, you
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: know what I mean, because it's not been easy. It's been.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: It's been tough. I know a lot of people are
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: struggling with it too. Like I got a DM the
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: other night, I of nowhere, Saturday, I'm chilling at home,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: A DM comes there and it's a woman. Don't you
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: care about Winnie? Like what what are you talking about?
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: And we've said that multiple times. Yeah, Like we can't
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: say it every day, but we've said it enough that
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: it's Yeah, we didn't want this to happen, but it did.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just the way it is. It's just it's
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: just the way it is. Like when he'll be fine, y,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: it sucks, but it's like next chapter is a new
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: chapter for her.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: And I'm extremely lucky to have been able to learn
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: from both of you.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So yeah, when he taught you all that stuff,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: like all the stuff you're doing there, thank god I
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: didn't have to because more work for me, you know.
• 9:22

  Speaker 1: you okay? Besides the money piece, are you happy with?
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Like are you feel overworked?
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: No? I am. It's like a lot of responsibility that
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: I took on because I'm obviously doing both my role
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: from before and then in addition like running the board
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: and every.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Great great point. Yeah, so not only your position didn't
• 9:49

  Speaker 2: Right. Yeah, I'm I'm doing a lot which I've I

  Speaker 2: into this position and or not, you know what I mean.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm happy, good, good good.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's we're transitioning. And I said it this
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: weekend as somebody that was telling them the story about
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: you know, everything with winning and everything, and I go,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: it's just like the new normal like that, you know
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: that COVID phrase. That's really what it is. It's just
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: the new normal, you know. And I think we're doing okay.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: We're doing okay, we're adjusting, we're having fun as best
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: we can. That was the hardest part, right about the
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: whole thing, Yeah, is we do a comedy show, an
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: entertainment show. So here we are, boom, we lose one
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: of our members. We need to go on and have
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: a funny show like.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: What Yeah, like the next day and Billy wasn't.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Here, and Billy wasn't here.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: Which is like, yeah, the craziest part.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Mikey was here. Yeah, but even when Billy came back,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: like the mood was down and we need to like
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: still put on a show. It's really a bizarre thing.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: But you know what that is, Riley, That's what they
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: say is showbiz. Yeah, show bizz, baby, I guess, make
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: it work. I mean, it's not the first time it's happened.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: It's not the last time it's gonna happen. It sucks,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: and it's the way of the world. I think a lot. Look,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: and I drive to work every morning, I listen to
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: WBZ radio and I listen to the headlines from around
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: the world, around the country, all that stuff, and I
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: hear it. I hear you know, Amazon lays off ten
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: thousand workers, you know all these different Target. Target is
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: laying off a ton right now too. It's just the
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: way of the world, man, you know, please keep it moving.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: So I think for you, I think, well, first I
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: want to say thank you for all your help.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Well, thank you, yes, first of all for training me.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: When I came to you after like four months in
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: and said, hey, I want to know what you do,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: you were like, come here, little Bertie, I'll put you
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: under my wing and I'll train you up so when
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: something like this happens, you'll be ready.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're welcome. But the other part of that is
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: is is like I try to think of myself as
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: an egotistical person. I know that's an egotistical thing to say.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: You know. It's like when you say, like, I'm humble,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: you're not supposed to say I'm umble. It means you're
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: not humble. But I do sometimes feel like when when
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: I show people what I do and they're like wow,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: you know, it makes me feel good, not in the
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: sense of I'm big and bad and great. I just
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: feel proud of the work that I do and how
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: I do it and the fact that I'm able to
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: show you and you're like, wow, that's really good. That's
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: how you do that. That's how you pull up the
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: audio so quick, that's how you store the audio. Wow.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: So it just made me feel good.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I will say I did stand over Justin shoulder
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: for about a year. Yeah, watching you constantly all the time,
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: and that is the correct reaction. When you watch what
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Justin does, you go wow, that's how you do that.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: That's crazy. Yeah, if anybody like could ever just like
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: stand over your shoulder. They'd be very impressed with you.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it makes me feel good, you know, because I mean,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: I take this very serious, this career that I've built.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: It's uh. I always say, I always say this. I
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: always say for me, I like being on the air.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: It's it's fun, it's great. I don't take it for granted.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: I like, I like talking on the microphone. I think
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: I'm good at it some days, some days I don't.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: But what I really love is the producing and the
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: audio aspect that I'm able to add. That makes me
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: feel good. Man, Yes, exactly, exactly. And that's the mist
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: That's the thing with the Winnie, right is with the
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: show is is I was I'm not a comedian, but
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: I can use the clips to be funny, you know
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: what I mean. And I can't do what Winnie did
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Whennie would just say whatever she wanted. She just naturally
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: liked that in life, and so I can't do that.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: But I can do that with the clips, you know,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: I can't. I can't just I can't be mean. I'm
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: just not that person.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Well, Plus like there were times in the past where
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: I would maybe go down that road of being like
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: mean a little bit, and I think because of my past,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: it just doesn't hit. It doesn't hit right, and it
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: feels a little weird. They're like, wait, you're a former
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: criminal who's been to prison, former drug addict, and now
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: you're mean, Like, no, you're the you know, you've turned
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: your life around. It doesn't work, So that's not me.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: But I want to say, continue doing what you're doing.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: You're doing a great job. And you're working for the
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Bruins too. So on top of all that the extra
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: work here, how many days are you at the Bruins
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: every home game.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: I don't work every single home game. I work a
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: lot of Thursdays and Saturdays. I told my boss that
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: I will not be working Tuesdays anymore. Yeah, I basically
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: said it. It just doesn't work with my schedule anymore.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I get home around eleven o'clock on game
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: days and then I get up at three thirty the
