  Speaker 1: Oh man, it is a busy, busy morning. Hi friends,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Welcome into the after show. Welcome after show Army, Thank
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: you for being here, Thank you for tuning in to
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: this silly little podcast. I was hoping to grab Billy
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: or Lisa or both of them, but they're running around.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: We have a jingle Ball meeting in ten minutes because
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: jingle Ball is this weekend, so they have to go
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: over everything, and which is fine. It's good to see
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: everything up there and the schedule and what we do
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: because I have been doing it for a long time now,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: but you know, things change. It's very like fast paced,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: and you know, jingle Ball is a national tour put
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: on by the company, so you have all the local people,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: but then you have the national team which we work with,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: who are great, but they come in and they're going
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: to city to city to city, so then they come
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: into Boston and we have to collaborate with them, and
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: that's why it's important to you know, be on board
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: and make sure everything runs smoothly. But it's gonna be
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: a great show. I'm looking forward to it. I'm grateful
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: to be able to go and you know, be backstage.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: It's always so great, but I'm working, man. It's like
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: it's crazy. I have like no time to really enjoy it.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: I don't really get to watch much of the show.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: You know, Billy's doing interviews. I'm editing audio backstage literally
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: for hours. I'm just chopping stuff up, getting Billy to record,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: sending the audio back to the radio station to put
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: on the air because it's a live ish countdown and
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: you know, wrangling Billy who has to go meet with
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: clients and he's got tours and he's got this and that,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: and he's trying to do interviews also record with me.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: It's a lot, but I do feel proud that they
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: don't do it anywhere else in the country, like in
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: the company, Like they don't do that at any of
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: these shows. It's something that we started doing a long
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: time ago here on Kiss, and I think it's really
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: cool for the listeners who can't make it to the
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: show where they can listen, you know, during the show
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: and get it back you know, a sense of backstage
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: and what that's like and talking to the artists and
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: it's just really good. So anyway, I want to check
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: in with you guys real quick.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Just wanted to take a minute two thank you for
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: carry on on with the after show podcast. I listen
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: to it during my walk, so thank you for allowing
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: me to keep up with that routine. And also thank
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: you for how you've handled everything that's going on with Winnie.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: We miss her, we love her, but I give you
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: so much respect and thanks for all you do. Have
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: a great weekend.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Michelle. Enjoy your work, but your walk. Keep walking.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: That's one thing that I've learned, especially as we get older,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: is even something simple like walking is so important.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Obviously, I'm like really into exercise, and I exercise pretty
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: much every day, but that's always in my head and
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking about and that's what I try to tell
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: my mom and my dad is get out there and walk.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: My dad is really good about it. My mom could
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: do a little bit better. But even just walking is
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: so so good for you. But thank you for those words, Michelle. Listen.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: I just keep showing up, man, That's what I do.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: That's what I've always done. I don't get involved, and
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: I try not to get involved any like bullshit stuff.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: I just kind of like let my work speak for itself.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: So I show up every day, I show up early,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: I get my work done, keep my head down. It's
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: what I've always done. That's been the key to my success.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: And I try not to get too like stressed out
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: and crazy, although I do, you know. It's you know,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: I was explaining my job to my friend yesterday, and
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: you know, it's not always easy, but it's about how
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: my mindset is right, how am I doing internally, and
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: that's going to dictate how I'm I able to handle situations.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Obviously I fall short sometimes I like blow up or
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I get mad. I'm very animated in the morning, and
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: that's because I want the show to do good, you know.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: And you know I've talked about this over and over again.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: You know, there's been so many changes at the radio station,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: like so many like going back in, turning Romero and
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Pebbles and Pebbles and Melissa getting walked out right in
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: front of me. I'd been here for like a year.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: I didn't know anything like scared to death, like what's happening.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: They've been here for so long, so it's just another
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: thing that happened. It sucks, such is what it is.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: But the Answer Show was something that I wanted to
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: keep on doing. And I'm going to keep doing and
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: I hope that people like it. I'm gonna get guests
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: on you know when I can. I have a lot
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: of plans for twenty twenty six. Obviously this is the
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: end of the year and coming to the end here,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: so I'm super busy, but I guess some plans, don't worry. Hey,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: justin just wondering with the radio business being so kind
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: of unstable with Winnie gone now, And do you.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: Ever worry about your job security? Or is that just
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: how radio is?
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Thanks? I love listening to the podcast. Yeah, please send
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: any questions you have about anything, and I will do
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: my best to answer them and to answer your question.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Do I worry about my job? Okay? So I've actually
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: answered this question a lot to people because I get
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: asked this a lot in my regular life, and yeah,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: I think I do. But also on the other end,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: if it ever happens, if and when right whatever happens,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I will be sad. Of course, I'll probably cry, I'll
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: be upset, but it won't be the end for me.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm lucky. You know, you know my story,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: you know what I've been through. So the fact that
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: I've gotten this far, I've already won, and they can't
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: take that from me. They cannot take that from me.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Like at the end of the day, if I'm let
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: go or told to leave, ask to leave, walked out, whatever,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: I won, because I was never supposed to make it
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: this far. So that's kind of my mentality. And also
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: I'll be okay. I'll be okay my entire life since
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: the day got clean, I've done the right thing and
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: everything has worked out. And I am a firm believer
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: that if I keep doing the right thing, it'll all
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: work out. Everything has worked out. There's been troubling times,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: but overall everything has gone the way it should be,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: you know. And I have faith that if this ends,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: if this door closes, I'll be okay. Elsewhere I'll be sad,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: of course, but I try to think about it. And
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: you know, we're lucky. You know, this is kiss one
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: to wait. We do pretty well. You know, it's it's
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: a long standing radio station. You know, we we have
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: the most listeners. We have a million people, upwards of
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: a million people that listen every day. We did just
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: get the ratings in and the highest ratings that they've
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: been in two or three years, like the last couple
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: of months have been the highest ratings, which is great.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: You know, they go up and down, but we do
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: pretty good, you know, and I think that we put
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: on a good show. We do our best to put
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: on a good show. But on the other part of
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: that is we're lucky that we work at a top
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: forty radio station, a heritage radio station that people here
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: are just used to listening to. So it's our job
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: to keep them. So this is what we talk always
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: talk about in our meetings, like behind the scenes, is
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: people are kind of used to turning on Kiss one
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: oh eight. That's just what they've always done since they
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: were little. They grew up in Boston, they put on
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Kiss one o eight. It's our job to keep them listening.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: And that's kind of the issue, right is it's not
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: because we're doing a bad job per se. Maybe we
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: say something or we cover a topic that someone doesn't like.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: It's that there are so many options. So when she
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: talks about the state of radio, that's more about there's
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: so many options. You have streaming, you have podcasts, you
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: have so many different things to listen to. When you're
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: on your way to work or at home, you can
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: put on audio elsewhere or video elsewhere, right, instead of
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: putting on the radio. It used to be radio was
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: the only thing. That's what you listen to every day
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: to get your news and entertainment. Now all that stuff
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: can be found on social media, so it's a different
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: landscape for sure. But Kiss went on, Wait, man, I
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: grew up listening to this radio station. A lot of
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: people listen, and I think we're in a good spot.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: I really do. It's been a tough year, but I
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: think we're doing okay. So that's good. And thank you
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: for that question. I can get to one more question here.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Please send in your talk back questions or comments or anything.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: I don't care if I say something that you don't
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: like on the show on the after show, you can
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: always tell me I just got a scathing DM. I'm
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: not gonna read it or anything pretty scathing about me,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: and about just some things that I've said on the
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: show that they were not a fan of. And you
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: know what I responded back to them. I said, I
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: appreciate you taking the time to listen to our show
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: and to care about what what I say or any
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: of us say, and I will take what you said
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: under consideration, right, And when I But when I first
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: saw it, I was like, if you listen to the
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: podcast yesterday I told that story of my friend and
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: his little brother, it's the same exact thing. He sent
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: me a nasty DM. My first thought is like, f you,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna come at you. Who do you think you are?
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: But I didn't. I paused, and I sent a nice
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: thing back because I'm gonna listen to what this person said,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: and uh, and I'll take it under consideration, you know.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: But really what I want to what I want to
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: write is bro I don't even I'm not even supposed
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: to be here, Like I'm not a a trained radio host.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I don't I have like no training in this, you know.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: I was like, I was never supposed to be here.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: It's almost I know. I got here through hard work,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: but part of it feels like luck, Like I worked hard,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: but some of it was luck. And you know, you
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: got people that go to broadcasting school when they work
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: their way up and this is their dream and it
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: was always my dream. But I don't know, man, I'm
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: just doing the best I can. And I always say
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: I like talking on a microphone. I like talking on
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: the radio. It's cool and all that, But really what
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: I like is the production part. I like the audio.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: I like playing clips. That's what I do. That's what
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: anybody can talk talking to the mic on a radio show,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: on a morning radio show. But what I feel like
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: I can bring is that audio part that a lot
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: of other shows can't that in the moment, whether it's
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: talkbacks or funny clips, movie clips, songs, my ability to
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: pull them up, which I'm super proud of. That's what
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: I love doing the talking part. Eh So when you
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: criticize things that I say on the air, I'm like, Okay,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: thank you, But I don't even want to be doing that.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know. That's just things that are going on
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: in my head that I share with you anyway.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: Oh justin if you're looking for like really out of
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: the box unique Christmas gift for either the kiddos or Jen,
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: there's this Shelderic Wildlife Trust in Africa and you can
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: adopt a giraffe or elephant and it's so cool. You
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: don't have to spend a lot of money, but the
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: receiver thinks it is the most amazing gift ever. And
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: you could order like stuffed animals and books to go
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: with it. But definitely check it out.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: That's a cool gift idea. Thank you for that. That
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: is really cool. Thank you for that suggestion. I am
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: going to talk to my wife about that and see
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: what's maybe for next year. I think we're all done
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: with shopping this year. Actually, it was a whole thing.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: People are writing me about me saying on the air
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: earlier this week that I spend one thousand dollars per
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: kid for Christmas, and I completely misspoke about that. I
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: didn't even play the talkbacks from people because I wanted
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: to let it go. But my wife was like horrified
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: because Billy asked me, do you put a limit on it?
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: And I kind of was put on the spot, and
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: we don't, but we don't spend a ton of money.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: But in my head, I'm like, oh, a thousand, and
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: he said per kid and I was like yeah. And
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: then people were like, oh my god, that's crazy because
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: they were listening with their kids and they're like, wow,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: a thousand dollars. That's a lot of money per kid.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know what it is, honestly, if I had
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: to guess, I think it would probably be closer to
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: a thousand between both kids. But you know, we don't
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: really add it up. I mean they're all getting small stuff,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: you know, things that I think the most expensive thing
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: that we bought my son was maybe I think one
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty or two hundred bucks. That's it. So
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know. We're doing the best we can. Everyone's
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: got something to say. That's the thing about this job
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: is everybody has something to space say, especially when we
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: have a talkback feature where they can write whatever they want,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: you know, or they can you know, DM me whatever
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: they want. But it's fine, man. It's all about the mindset.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: It's all about how I'm thinking, and that's going to
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: dictate how I react. Take anything from this podcast, it's
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: that get your mind right. Anyway, Tomorrow's Friday. I'll try
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: to jump on very busy jingle ball weekend. But I
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: love you guys, and yes, send talkbacks. We'd love to
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: hear from you. I love to hear from you.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: Peace,
