  Speaker 1: a little show. I mean call it what it is.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: You have the big show, the Billy and Lisa Show,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: which is every day four hours long, but then you
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: have this kind of little piece of it, the companion piece,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: that could range from five minutes to an hour long.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: I think the longest podcast was with My Wife, My beautiful,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: beautiful Wife. That was a great podcast. If you have
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: not heard that one, go back and listen. I don't know,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: maybe like two months ago. You can just you can
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: find it there scroll through. But yeah, the after Show
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: is on. Always happy to hear from you guys. Always
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: happy to do the after Show. Sometimes I wish I
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: did not have a time limit on it, but things
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: are happening. We have a big huddle today. It's called
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: a prep huddle for a thing called DJ call Out.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: You might be asking, what the hell is that, Well,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: it's kind of like a sales partnership with us. Today
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: is just the pre thing. Monday is the big event.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Where we're gonna kind of team up with the salespeople
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: and basically, like you know, try to get new clients.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Let people no way here. It's kind of a sales strategy.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: It sounds weird and sounds like it would be annoying,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: but I actually think it's a good idea. It really
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: is not so much for me. So for example, if
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Billy Costa is gonna call a potential client, that would
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: be exciting. I feel like, you know, to hear from
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Billy himself, you know, he's a legend. Or even Lisa,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, she'd be on the air forever. Me eh,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: hiat's justin you know what I mean. Like I don't
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: really hold that kind of I'm not even close to
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: that kind of I don't know star power or whatever.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: They're gonna be like, okay, like what about Billy and Lisa.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: So it's fine, maybe something will come of it. I'm
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: happy to do it. I think we're all happy to
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: do it. You know. That's what a partnership is between
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: everyone here at the radio station. Because you have different parts.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: You have the sales, you have the programming, you have
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: the audio people, and you have the promotions and marketing team.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Don't forget about them too. They helped put on all
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: the events, including Lisa's book club.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: So there you go listening to the Active Show podcast
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Life Lessons with Riley, and you're asking your friend the question,
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: you know, do you remember I'm coming up on ten
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: months sober and I actually just had the thought last
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: night that it was hard for me to feel that
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: awful feeling of using, and it scared me because yeah,
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: I don't ever want to forget how awful I felt.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Ooh, I'm glad I got this talk back. Thank you,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: thank you for listening, thank you for the words. I
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: agree one hundred percent. I do have an update on
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: my friend. He got out yesterday. He stayed the whole
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: seven days and he is doing amazing, amazing, amazing. My
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: friend is back. You know, it's been a week, but
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I think the week was so important to disconnect, to
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: clean up and again. You know, he had a long
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: time in recovery, many many years, has done a ton
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: of work on himself. He did have a relapse, but
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: he still knows what to do. He knows how to
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: stay clean and sober, and he's going to do it.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: So we're going to meet meet up soon. I will
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: read a text from his wife that she sent me.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: She said he's killing it. He just worked all day,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: came home, so he got out yesterday earlier, then went
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: to work because you know, he has his own business.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: He worked all day, came home, went for a run,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: and now he's off to coach his son's baseball team.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Come on, baby, let's go. That's on day one. So
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: shout out to my friend. I love you so much.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Hopefully I'll see him soon. And again that's what we
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: do for our brothers.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Hey, justin, I just wanted to give you a quick
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: shout out. I heard you say a little while ago
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: talking about your friends that he was in active addiction.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: And I've heard you say this Phraeze many times before,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: along with other great things that you say. I just
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: wanted to point out that it really is impactful to
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: those that are listening, those in recovery and those that
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: are friends or family of recovery, rather than saying they
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: were an addict or a junkie or anything like that.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: So thank you, You're welcome. Yeah, listen, I've been there,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: like so many people that are listening that can feel that,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: not just people who are struggling or have gone through
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: it and struggled. But people, like she said, family, family members, friends.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, we're all touched by it in some way.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Even if you're not somebody that struggles with addiction. You know,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: you know somebody, you have a family member. It's literally everywhere.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: So I love that. I've shared that many times before.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: You know, it's like my favorite thing, my favorite part
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: of my job. There's so many things I'm super proud
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: of and happy to do every day, but the message
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: of recovery is definitely number one. Because recovery is number
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: one for me. And she was talking about my friend Robbie.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: I had this thought. So my friend Robbie, I was
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: talking about him on the show. He was like a
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: mentor to me when I got clean. He was kind
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: of the first person I connected with. He actually was
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: in so my last dtox that I was in. Okay,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: this is a true story and if I if I
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: ever have him on the podcast, which I'm going to
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: try to do, I will tell this. He will tell
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: this story. I was in my last detox. I had
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: never met him before, and I wanted to leave right
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: because we have a disease. I have a disease that
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: wants me to go. So it was very common, just
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: like my friend, like when's the dtox. You're at the
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: bitter ends. You get into treatment and you say, I'm
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: going to do it this time. I can't live like
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: this anymore. And then you get in and a couple
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: of days go by, you clear up a little bit
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: and you're like, I want to get out of here,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: like I want to go use. And so it was
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: a day I wanted to leave. I had met somebody
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: who knew somebody in loll in the DTOs. I met
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: some one of the dtalks who knew somebody that we
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: could go see, and so I had a plan to leave,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: and my counselor got wind of it. So he came
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: to me and he said, justin you've been here many times, Okay,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: this could be the last time, like please don't leave.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: And I had every excuse, I'm checking myself out, AMA
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: against medical advice. And he asked me, he said, just
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: stay for the comitment that's going to commit. That's all
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: I ask. If you can stay for the commitment and
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: then you still want to leave, you can, no problem.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: So I said, okay, I stayed for the commitment, and
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Robbie was one of the people that came in. Now,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Robbie is blind, okay, and he told his story and
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I was so touched by it, and a lot of
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: it was me feeling bad for myself because I remember
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: listening to it and then thinking, this guy, who has
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: an amazing story is blind and he is staying clean,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: he is showing up and staying clean and coming into
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: detox and giving it away and he can't even see
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: and whatever, that's what it took. It took, you know,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: pity on myself, guilt, whatever it was. I ended up staying.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: I went to a halfway and that began my recovery journey.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: So he had a huge impact on that. And then
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: when you know, a couple of years go by, I'd
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: gone out a little bit, but you know, I had
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: finally gotten clean. He was the first person I connected
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: with because I was in a sober house and a
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: kid that lived there who was a friend of mine,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: had relapsed and he got a big, big charge, really
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: really serious crime that he committed, and so he was
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: in jail, and Robbie was his sponsor. So I was
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: at this meeting and I did not talk to anybody.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: I was just sitting there, real angry, and he raised
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: his hand and started sharing about his sponsee was in jail,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: facing a long time in prison, and he had nobody
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: to take him to. He'd like to visit him, but
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: he would need someone to take him, obviously, because he's blind.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: And something inside of me, like I had known who
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: he was, but I didn't want to go talk to him.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Something told me to, so I went up to him
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: and introduced myself. I ended up taking him to visit
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: our friend in jail, and that's how he became friends
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: and we've been friends ever since, and he's got an
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: amazing story. So I was thinking I should invite him
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: on the podcast. So I may. Although he gets up
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: very late because think about it, right, he's blind, so
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: he doesn't have a normal sleep schedule. Plus he's a musician,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: so he plays late at night, but he goes to
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: bed really late, and he'll talk about it when if
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: he comes on. He goes to bed like five six
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: in the morning, you know, and he sleeps all day long.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: But if you think about it, what's the difference. He
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: doesn't It's not like he sees the sunlight, you know,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: So I gotta try to get him up early and
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: get him in here. So anyway, I gotta go to
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: the huddle. We're huddling up at the radio station. So
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: talk tomorrow. Bye.
