Tired, But Present... · Billy & Lisa in the Morning: The After Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: After show podcast on a very very tired Friday. Do
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: I sound tired? Oh Man, just finished the show. It
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: was a rough one, only slept about four hours, but
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: you know what, it was all worth. It had a
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: great time last night Ariana Grande Night one at the
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: TD Garden. We hit the show. We also hit the
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: pre party before, which was a lot of fun. I
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: wanted to discuss that a couple other things. Well, let's
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: start with that, shall we. The pre party at play
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: at Boston. We've been talking about this Ariana Grande thing,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: and you know these are huge shows. Where Kiss went to, wait,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: this is what we do. We you know, play all
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: the biggest hits and we cover these massive shows like
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Noah Khan, like Ariana Grande, like Bruno Mars, like Ed Sharon.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: You know, these big shows coming to Boston. But we're
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: really hitting this Ariana hard. And at first I remember thinking,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: obviously we're going to be all over it, right, but
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: we're doing the talkback thing, which is super fun and
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: for me to be able to see the response through
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: the talkbacks. I was just telling my boss, who was
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: just in here, this is bigger than Noah Khan, and
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: I thought, Noah Khan was big. I mean it was,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: it was massive. But the Ariana response, Man, Like, we're
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: talking thousands of talkbacks, and I know that makes it
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: very hard to win because we only have a certain
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: amount of tickets. But it's really cool to see how
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: many people are listening who are trying to win these tickets.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: They're listening on the iHeartRadio app, which is great because
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: they can use the talkback and you know, I hope
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: that you win. If you're listening, you want you're a
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: part of it and you enter. I hope that you win.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: But on the other side of that, I hope that
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: people are discovering the app and discovering the talkbacks because
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: they're such an important part of the show and an
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: important part to me because I feel like that's such
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: a huge contribution to our show that I am a
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: part of that I am responsible for. Right. The joke
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: is I'm the godfather of the talkback Mafia, and that's
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: really what it is. And you know, to connect that
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: to the pre party last night, you know, I got
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: there early around three thirty. The show was five to
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: seven with Billy, Lisa, myself, and Gianna. Because it is
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: the afternoon showing Mikey's off he's in California or something,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: so with Frankie, so he it was only Gianna here.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: So I get there early three thirty and who shows
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: up but well a talkbacker Sherry from Drake It with
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: her husband. And I know Sherry. I've met her. She's
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: done the book club. She listened every single day. She
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: leaves a ton of talkbacks. You know, if you don't
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: know who that is, she's the stop bragging person, you
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: know that. I like to play that clip, you know,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: this one stop bragging Sharry leaves a ton of talkbacks.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I can't play them all. But she's super fun. So
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: I was, you know, shooting the shit with her and
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: her husband, you know, just yucking it up. And she
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: was super cool because we talked for a while and
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: then I had to like go to my computer and
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: get ready and she's like cool, go do your thing,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: like we're gonna be here. And she stayed the whole time,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: and people started to co come in. The show started.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I forget if the mayor came before. Yeah, so right
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: before four five, the mayor of the South End shows up.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Now Billy and Lisa had met the mayor. I never had,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: so I don't really know what he looks like. I
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: saw one picture of him, but he had glasses on,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: so I wasn't really sure. But all of a sudden,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Billy goes, or Lisa goes, look who it is Justin
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: And there he was the mayor of the South, and
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: I couldn't stop looking at him. Now. I did post
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: a video It's on my Instagram at Justin Beezy with
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: the Mayor with Sherry from Dracot, and every single person
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: that commented on it said the same thing. I did
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: not imagine him to look like how he looks. I
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know what I picture I see.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I'm different because I had an idea of what he
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: looked like. But I get it. People in the radio
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: don't sound like how they look, you know, I'm sure
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: I don't. And he hung out all night. The mayor
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: is exactly how he is on the talkbacks in real life.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: He brought us cupcakes. We put him on the air,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: you know, the broadcast asked he was funny, he was engaging.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: He was a little bit you know, borderline risque, you know,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: he kept coming over and touching my legs, but just
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: an overall super fun guy. And you know what the
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: most important part is, I got to tell him, I
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: got to thank him, you know, for participating on our
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: show every single day. He's really kind of like a
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: he's a regular, you know. Every day I come in
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: as a talkback at five am from the Mayor. It's
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: always informative, it's always funny. I can't play every single one,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: but I play a lot of the Mayor because he's
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: a voice that people recognize. And I saw that when
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: I posted the video. I mean I must have got
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: hundreds hundreds of dms from people, and you know, they
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: loved it. They'd loved seeing him. They were shocked at
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: what he looked like. And if you're wondering again, yeah,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: he's just like how he is. So you had the
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Mayor and you had Shery from Drake Att there, and
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: then we had so many other people showing up to
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: try to win tickets. It was really really fun and
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: I thought it was It was really cool to be
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: together there in front of the audience. It was cool
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: to have Giannada because she's a part of the afternoon show,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: so it kind of was the blending of the two shows.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: And then you know, we played some games we had
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: reilar fake headlines, but we also had two truths and
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: a lie. Those are two you know, trademark shows, I
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: mean shows games for our shows. So we played those
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: live in front of the audience. It was just really cool.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: So the party ended and we went into Ariana Grande
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: fantastic seats. We did have an issue with people being
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: in our seats, but somehow it all worked out. They
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: wouldn't move and it didn't matter. So I don't know
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: if there were other seats that weren't taken, but we
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: were all like we were all in the wrong seats
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: because most of us they were in two or three
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: of the seats. There were ten tickets, but we were
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: loje one like eleven rows up perfect seats. And Ariana
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: was fantastic, man, I mean the production was incredible. Obviously,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: she has so many hits, and it's all it's a show.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: It's a show that it's there's interludes, there's you know,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: upbeat songs, slower songs. There's stage changes. They had the
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: we talked about this in the show. They had on
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: the main stage which then had the kind of a
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: runway out to a smaller round stage. But the main
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: stage had this kind of design that kept changing. We
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: had steps on it that you could walk up. It
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: looked kind of like in front of a house or
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: in front of a castle, I guess I should say.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: And they kept changing it. But it had a screen
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: that wrapped around it that was broken up into pieces,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: and so it would it would split apart the screen
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: and unwind to show the stage, and then it would
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: go back and close. It was really really amazing. And
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: then above the smaller round stage they had another kind
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: of round screen that wrapped around that went up and down,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: so wherever you were in the garden you had a
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: good shot to see Ariana on screen, whether you were
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: you know, in the Nosebleeds, anywhere in the in the garden.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Just I was thinking the whole time how much money
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: did this production cost? It was it was crazy, But
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: we stayed for most of the show. I think we
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: left after break free because we had to get home,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: you know, we had to get to bed. I mean
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: I only slept four hours, but it was enough. We
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: saw enough. And I gotta give a shout out to
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: the Kiss Digital team. They do a fantastic job. Like
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: I took some videos that I posted, I posted too.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I took a bunch more, but as soon as I left.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: As I was walking out of the garden, I went
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: on Instagram and Kiss had already posted a ton of
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: reels right up close. I don't know who took them.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: If it was Gianna or you know, obviously we have
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: a digital person, it might have been her as well,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: but they do a fantastic job. I was thinking that
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: as I was looking through all the Kiss stuff this morning.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: You know, there's a reason why I were, you know,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: the number one radio station or mostless and whatever it is.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: It's because we're on top of stuff like this. And
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: if you can't go to these shows like so many people,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: it's really cool to go on and it's like you're there.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: I mean there's reels, there's stories, they're engaging. That's just
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: really really great. So shout out to the digital team.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I had like a proud moment. I'm like,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: we know, we do what we do on the air
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: on the morning show, and I'm super proud of that.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: But you know, I'm also proud of that team as well.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: You know, this is a team effort here. You know,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: it's the marketing, it's sales, it's digital and then it's programming,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: which is us. And another super cool moment was, you know,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: after the the broadcast ended, we kind of had some time,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: so we sat and we ate some food, had some drinks.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: I had Selsa water if you were wondering, and we
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: sat with our boss. He was there with his family,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: super nice and you know, we had a long conversation
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: about you know, the position of the show. You know,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: obviously the ratings this quarter were like through the roof
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: and he had nothing but kind words to say. Man,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: you know, like he always believed in us, and he's
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: really proud of this show and what we do, and
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: you know, to not take for granted, you know, not
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: just the you know, being number one and making your boy,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: not just that, but also it really shows the connection
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: that we make with listeners. And you really got a
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: good gauge of that last night. The people that showed up,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: there were people that showed up not even to win
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: the ticket, not even to enter, but just to see us.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: And you know what that means so much to us
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: because what we do every day is it's entertaining, it's informative,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: it's engaging, and it's about building a connection and it's
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: also an escape. You know, one time somebody in the
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: radio station had said or did something that was real
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: negative on the air. I forget exactly what it was,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: but we were kind of meeting all together as a team,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: and the boss was not happy about what was said.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: And he said, you know, in today's world, you go
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: on social media, you go on Instagram or Twitter or TikTok,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: and there's a ton of negativity, whether they're you know,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: pick our videos that are negative, but also the comment section.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: People are so mean and people are so negative. There
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: is so much of that in this world because everybody's
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: on their phones, everybody's on social media. He said, that's
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: not what we want to be. We want to be
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: an escape. You know, we don't want to be on here.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Like obviously Billy does a news report and he covers
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: politics and you know, serious stories, and sometimes if it's
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: obviously a big story, we'll talk about it, but we're
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: not going to come on here and talk about politics
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: and things like that. You get enough of that. You
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: get enough of that on the internet, on social media
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: and on the news. We want to be somewhere you
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: can turn on on your way to work, on your
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: way home from work, or you know, put the podcast
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: on while you're doing whatever, and you can laugh and
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: you can have fun, and you can be a part
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: of our show. You send a silly talk back and
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: we play it on the air and you hear your
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: voice as if you're a co host. That's what this
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: show is all about. It's it's easy to listen to,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: but in a good way. And again, listen, I grew
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: up Howard Stern shock jock. You know, that's that's the
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: radio that I grew up on. And you know, I
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: like to think we do have a little bit of shock.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, we are a little bit riskue sometimes, you know,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: I do push the limits, but overall, you listen, you
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: have fun, you be a part of it, and you
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: go on with your day. You know, we don't want
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: to get into all the negativity stuff. So it was
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: good to set with our boss and hear these words
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: from him. You know, this is somebody that's a very
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: powerful man, and not just the company, but in the
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: music business. You know, he's he's got a lot of power,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: not just here at Kiss Went a Wait, Kiss One Wait,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: Kiss Went to Wait is kind of only one small
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: thing that he does you know, he's involved with with
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: morning shows and radio stations around the country. He programs music.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: It was said to me one time that, you know,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: his decisions on a weekly basis of what songs to
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: add to the rotation of radio stations can impact the
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Billboard charts. So his decisions, his personal decisions that he
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: makes obviously with the people that he works with like
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: McCabe and national people impact the song's movements on the charts.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: When someone told me that, I go, damn, that's nicee.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: We only know him as our boss here, which he oversees,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: but he has mckayd that kind of oversees the day
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: to day, but he still is very hands on here.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: So yeah, it was just a really cool moment. And
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: he told us we're gonna have a big dinner, a
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: celebratory dinner. He's gonna take the whole team out as
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: a congratulations and a thank you for our success. So
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: it just feels really good. Okay, what else? What else
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: do we have here? Oh? I love when new listeners
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: find the podcast. I love this so much, like the
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: after Show. I've been here for hmm eight years with
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: several different co hosts, but now I'm alone. I have
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: like guest co hosts, if you know what I mean.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: But I love when people find the podcast the after
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Show podcast, even by chance I should. My boss said
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: this to me too one time. He goes, at the
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: end of the show, when you plug the billion Lisa
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Show podcast, you should be plugging the After Show podcast too,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: and I always forget. But I hey.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Dessin, I can't believe I'm just now finding the After Show.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: And it's only because, in true addict fashion, I've been
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: assessing because the Billy and Lisa Show isn't up on
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: the podcast yet and it's past ten am Central. So
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: you guys have helped keep me say in the last
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: few months, and so I can get home to see
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: my family. I'm happy I'll be visiting for Lisa's book club.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: I'll become a super fan and I can't wait to
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: meet she'lle oh.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Is she talking about stoop dating that one or what?
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Because I'll be at that one for sure. That's getting
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: announced all the details on Tuesday. But that's going to
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: be in East Boston. Hopefully it's that one, And definitely
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: come up and meet me. I would love to meet you,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: all of us and I think did she say she's

• 13:52
  Speaker 1: I love that. I love that so much that she
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: found this podcast. You know I should plug it more,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: especially if you're a listener of the show. You know,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: I'm not floating my boat. This is a silly sometimes
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: ten minutes, sometimes thirty minute podcast. Sometimes it has no direction.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: You never know what's going to happen. But it's also
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: a place that you can go to and kind of
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: get behind the scenes stuff. You can ask questions and
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: I will comment on those things. And you know, the
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: radio is limited. It's limited. We're limited by time, we're
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: limited by segments. We can only go so far into things. Here.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: We're free. I run this ship and we are free
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: the app show Army. We could talk about anything at all,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: So always hit me up, ask questions, leave talk back.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: Wait justin I don't think you've ever updated us. Did
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: able make the baseball team like the older one or
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: the other one. I don't think you've ever told us.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: After you told us the whole thing how they loved him,
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: but then you never follow it up unless I missed it,
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: so I'm just curious.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, my apologies. Again, there's not a ton of planning
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: that goes into this podcast because I think that's what
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: makes it great, and I'm sorry if I did not update.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: I do have a follow up. So my son, For
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: people that don't know, my son is nine years old,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: and he tried out for travel Baseball for the ten
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: U ten and under and when he went there, there
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: weren't them any kids. So they had him try out
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: with the twelve year olds just to kind of put
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: them together, not to try out for twelve you, but
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: just to kind of make it easier on the coaches.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: And the coaches were so impressed with my son they
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: wanted to play him up and skip ten and go
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: to eleven you. So that's kind of where it was at.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: I was waiting to find out if not he would
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: do another program at his correct age, which would be ten,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: because he'll be ten next January. So I had said
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: how I cried at the tryouts, and it was yeah,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: it was very emotional for me. Well, what ended up
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: happening is that they did call me and they said
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: basically it was weird, super impressed with him, but he
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: didn't say whether he made it or not. What he
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: said was, your son has so much potential and we
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: do want him, but for his own own sake, we
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: would recommend that you play him in the correct age bracket,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: which they did not have in their program because not
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: enough kids showed up, so they didn't have a tenum. Sorry,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: they didn't have a Yeah, they didn't have a TENU.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: They only had an eleven U, So that's why they
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: were saying to me, we'd like to play him up.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: But I think after they talked about it, he said,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: I would recommend you do the other program ten you
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: his correct age because he'll get more playing time, which
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: is essentially what you want when you do travel ball
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: year round. You want to play as much as possible.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: And he basically said, like, if he goes to eleven,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: he'll be the youngest kid on the team and likely
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: will not get as much playing time. It'll be more
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: of a situation where if a kid doesn't show up
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: or if some a kid gets hurt, then my son
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: would move in. And I completely agreed with him, because
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: that is the goal, just to get him playing, get
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: as many reps as possible, and just get him to
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: do what he loves, and I know what he means, like,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: you know, I play him up and that's cool, Like,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: oh my god, I skipped over. That's how much they
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: want me. But then he's sitting on the bench the
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: entire season, So it's all good. We're gonna have him
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: do his own age group in the different travel program
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: and then next year, that's what we said. Next year,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: have him try out again, and for sure he'll be
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: on the team for the eleven U So I'm happy.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: We're happy he's playing baseball. That's all that matters. That's
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: all that matters. And you know what, it was enough
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: to sit and watch the tryouts and watch my son
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: just crush it. You know, if you've listened to this
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: podcast or if you listen to the show for a
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: long time, you know I've had issues with my son.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: He's a bit of a wild child. But he's so
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: much better now, thank god. You know, he matured, he
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: grew up. But he gave us a run for our money.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you there's a reason there's a five
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: year age difference in my son's age in my daughter's
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: age because after my son, we weren't sure we wanted
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: to have another kid because it was very very stressful.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: But you know what, he's just like his father. I
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: was very very stressful as a kid. My wife and
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: I made the mistake of thinking because we had been
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: clean for so long, had turned our lives around, and
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: we were so chill. That was the running joke is
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: that our kids, when we decided to have them, we're
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: going to be the chillest kids ever. But it's like, no,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: they're not going to be born as we are now
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: after we had done all this work on ourselves and
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: gone through hell. They're like we were when we were kids.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: So that's like our goal in life is to kind
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: of make sure our kids stay in the right direction
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: and don't make the same mistakes as we do. You know.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: So there you go? Astin answered, Can I go? Is
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: that okay with you? I just did eighteen minutes of
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: a podcast. I feel like I'm running on fumes, but
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: I feel like I have a burst of energy, and
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: I think Billy felt that way too. On this morning.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: This morning, okay, Ariana Grande. Two more shows tomorrow and Sunday.

  Speaker 1: a bunch of confusion last night because there's a line
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: at the bottom of the escalator before doors open. It's
• 19:08
