Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: This is how you remind me.
- 0:03Speaker 2: I'll be singing that all the way up until Jingle
- 0:05Speaker 2: Ball in December. Got a long way to go because
- 0:07Speaker 2: Nickelback is coming to Jingle Ball.
- 0:09Speaker 1: Hi, everybody.
- 0:11Speaker 2: Welcome to the Apto Show podcast on a Friday.
- 0:13Speaker 1: God, I am spent. What a morning. Oh, God.
- 0:19Speaker 2: The Jingle Ball announcement is always a big deal. You know,
- 0:21Speaker 2: it's the start of a busy three months. We announced
- 0:24Speaker 2: the lineup. We talk all about it because it is
- 0:26Speaker 2: a big deal. It's a really cool thing, and it's
- 0:28Speaker 2: something that only Kiss 108 has. So today was the
- 0:30Speaker 2: day we announced it. Somber, Hilary Duff, Nickelback, Stella Lefty,
- 0:37Speaker 2: and more.
- 0:37Speaker 1: Adela.
- 0:39Speaker 2: Really something for everybody. We were shocked when they announced
- 0:42Speaker 2: the lineup to us on Wednesday because we didn't know.
- 0:45Speaker 2: There were like rumblings on who would be there and
- 0:46Speaker 2: who wouldn't. But we were very surprised. So obviously Somber
- 0:51Speaker 2: is the newer artist, but he's massive. I mean, four
- 0:54Speaker 2: huge records in the past two years.
- 0:57Speaker 1: He's everywhere.
- 0:58Speaker 2: He has a show in November at the Garden, which
- 0:59Speaker 2: is completely sold out. So he's coming back. And then
- 1:03Speaker 2: they got Hilary Duff and Nickelback, which I was like, whoa.
- 1:06Speaker 2: I mean, Hilary Duff sold out the Xfinity Center over
- 1:08Speaker 2: the summer. It was one of the only shows to
- 1:10Speaker 2: sell out. There was a high demand for her tickets.
- 1:13Speaker 2: And then Nickelback, yeah, they're back with new music. And
- 1:15Speaker 2: I guess they are the throwback or one of the
- 1:18Speaker 2: throwbacks because you got Hilary Duff, too.
- 1:20Speaker 1: But I don't know, man. People seem to be pumped
- 1:22Speaker 1: about it, which is good. We're pumped about it. I
- 1:24Speaker 1: mean it's going to be fun either way.
- 1:25Speaker 2: I feel like you want to see your favorite artist,
- 1:27Speaker 2: but just the experience is phenomenal of going and making
- 1:32Speaker 2: it a tradition. It's right before the holidays, and it's
- 1:36Speaker 2: just a fun event, all those acts. And we talked
- 1:39Speaker 2: about it on the show, like the newer artists too,
- 1:40Speaker 2: like Adela. She's just coming out the last couple of years,
- 1:44Speaker 2: but she's blown up this year with a couple of
- 1:46Speaker 2: new songs. So you'll be seeing her a lot. And
- 1:49Speaker 2: Stella Lefty, I mean Boston, number one on country radio.
- 1:52Speaker 2: So we're really happy with the announcement. I hope you
- 1:54Speaker 2: are too. Tuesday morning at 10 a.m., the Capital One
- 1:57Speaker 2: presale begins for Capital One cardholders. And then the Friday
- 2:02Speaker 2: on sale at noon. So that's going to run for
- 2:04Speaker 2: a few days. And then the general on sale.
- 2:07Speaker 1: Will happen.
- 2:08Speaker 2: So we're officially in Jingle Ball season. So we're happy
- 2:10Speaker 2: about that. And I'm glad I got it out of
- 2:11Speaker 2: the way, honestly.
- 2:13Speaker 1: Oh, man, it's very, very stressful.
- 2:16Speaker 2: You know, if you've been a longtime listener, you know
- 2:18Speaker 2: that a lot of work goes into what we do
- 2:20Speaker 2: on the show, you know, especially me, you know, a
- 2:22Speaker 2: lot of it falls on me, all the production, all
- 2:25Speaker 2: the planning, I'm the executive producer. But now I also
- 2:29Speaker 2: talk a lot, which I don't know how that happened
- 2:32Speaker 2: or why it's happened, but it did. So Now I'm
- 2:34Speaker 2: speaking a lot. So it's, it's a really tough balance, man.
- 2:37Speaker 2: It's really hard. I mean, don't get me wrong. I'm
- 2:38Speaker 2: grateful to be here. I'm grateful for this position. I
- 2:41Speaker 2: have fun every single day. We have, we have a blast,
- 2:45Speaker 2: but it's true. It's can be stressful to do both.
- 2:48Speaker 2: I know people always say, well, you're so good at it, Justin.
- 2:50Speaker 2: And I'm grateful for that. And I take pride in
- 2:52Speaker 2: what I do, but it's days like today that, you know,
- 2:56Speaker 2: stresses do happen, but it went well, it went great.
- 3:00Speaker 2: I think everybody loved it. It's, um, Radio is a
- 3:04Speaker 2: weird thing, right? Because when you're talking, you know people
- 3:08Speaker 2: are listening. But you don't know how many are listening,
- 3:11Speaker 2: when they're listening. It's just us four, right? Billy, Lisa, myself,
- 3:16Speaker 2: producer Riley when she speaks.
- 3:18Speaker 1: And that's it.
- 3:18Speaker 2: We just talk, right? But it's different when you know
- 3:23Speaker 2: that everybody is listening. And that's what's different about a moment,
- 3:27Speaker 2: a day like today, the Jingle Ball announcement. I know
- 3:30Speaker 2: all the big wigs are listening. I know all of
- 3:32Speaker 2: our bosses are listening and all the other people in
- 3:35Speaker 2: Boston that want to hear the lineup. So having all
- 3:38Speaker 2: those ears makes it even more stressful to execute it
- 3:42Speaker 2: in a good way, which I thought we did. We
- 3:44Speaker 2: did a great job. But, you know, it was getting
- 3:46Speaker 2: all the stuff together and playing at the right times
- 3:50Speaker 2: and getting talkbacks and just kind of trying to manage
- 3:53Speaker 2: all of that. I'm happy that it's over, you know.
- 3:57Speaker 2: And it was also a big day. Taylor Swift dropped
- 3:59Speaker 2: new music, and we had Craig Robinson in the studio.
- 4:02Speaker 2: That was really funny. He's at Laugh Boston this weekend.
- 4:04Speaker 2: A lot of great talkbacks, a lot of great feedback
- 4:08Speaker 2: on the show. A couple of people were like, why
- 4:11Speaker 2: aren't you talking about the Ed Sheeran show? Oh, you
- 4:13Speaker 2: don't want to get political? I think we're done with that.
- 4:16Speaker 2: I mentioned at the end of the show, honestly, it
- 4:18Speaker 2: was just there was so much going on.
- 4:20Speaker 1: We didn't, you know, the.
- 4:21Speaker 2: Storm and, you know, we didn't talk a lot about that.
- 4:24Speaker 2: A little bit, but no, we weren't staying away from
- 4:27Speaker 2: the Ed Sheeran show. We love Ed Sheeran. He's a
- 4:29Speaker 2: dear friend of ours. He headlined our Jingle Ball last year.
- 4:32Speaker 2: What happened was unfortunate. And by the way, I believe
- 4:34Speaker 2: the shows did get canceled. Did I see that correctly?
- 4:37Speaker 2: I think I just did. I think it's breaking news
- 4:39Speaker 2: that the shows got canceled. So, yeah, it's going to
- 4:43Speaker 2: be a rough weekend with the Nor'easter, especially if you're
- 4:45Speaker 2: on the coast. We would joke about Billy and his boat,
- 4:49Speaker 2: but I hope that he's going to be okay.
- 4:50Speaker 1: I hope that he.
- 4:51Speaker 2: Doesn't stay on the boat because it's going to be
- 4:54Speaker 2: high winds. So yeah, there was a bunch of stuff
- 4:57Speaker 2: planned for this weekend, which got canceled. I am hosting
- 5:00Speaker 2: an event tonight, a gala for the Merrimack Valley YMCA.
- 5:03Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to that. I'll be doing the live
- 5:06Speaker 2: auction and the hosting and all that fun stuff. It's
- 5:08Speaker 2: at the Andover Country Club. So if anybody is going
- 5:13Speaker 2: that listens to this podcast, I will see you there.
- 5:15Speaker 2: So I'm going to leave here today, get a haircut,
- 5:18Speaker 2: and then go home, chill out, get my practice in
- 5:22Speaker 2: for the gala to, you know, be the best Billy
- 5:25Speaker 2: Costa that I can be even though I am miles
- 5:28Speaker 2: away from what he does. But, you know, it's all good, man.
- 5:32Speaker 1: We're going to have some fun. It'll be a fun gala.
- 5:36Speaker 1: What else? What else did I miss? Any talkbacks here
- 5:38Speaker 1: for the after show? Let's see.
- 5:39Speaker 3: Happy late birthday, Justin. It's Angela the Scientist. I'm a
- 5:43Speaker 3: minute late. I've been busy this week, but I hope
- 5:45Speaker 3: it was awesome. And I definitely didn't tear up when
- 5:50Speaker 3: Billy said all those wonderful, kind words to you. No,
- 5:54Speaker 3: I definitely didn't cry. All right. Love you.
- 5:56Speaker 4: Bye.
- 5:57Speaker 1: Oh, my God. Yeah, I know. It was very emotional.
- 5:59Speaker 2: If you missed that podcast earlier on my birthday, Billy
- 6:01Speaker 2: joined real quick and had some nice words to say
- 6:04Speaker 2: about me, which I really appreciate. I really appreciate that.
- 6:07Speaker 2: If you missed it, go check it out. A little
- 6:09Speaker 2: heartfelt between two guys. Just two guys having a moment.
- 6:14Speaker 1: That's all it was.
- 6:16Speaker 4: Oh, Justin, so I apologize for the delay, but happy birthday.
- 6:20Speaker 4: I hope you are still celebrating. And just from a
- 6:24Speaker 4: viewer's perspective, you have grown so much the past couple years.
- 6:28Speaker 4: You're just embodying the strength around leadership and role modeling
- 6:33Speaker 4: for so many people. So congratulations. Amazing work. And you
- 6:38Speaker 4: are just going to continue to soar to new heights.
- 6:42Speaker 1: Thank you very much.
- 6:46Speaker 2: That warms my heart that people listen to this podcast
- 6:48Speaker 2: and know me and understand me and have followed my
- 6:51Speaker 2: journey from the beginning. Or whenever they start listening to
- 6:54Speaker 2: the show or the after show podcast is fantastic. Next week,
- 6:58Speaker 2: I'll get some people on the podcast. It's just me
- 6:59Speaker 2: today because everything is so crazy. Billy and Lisa left
- 7:03Speaker 2: right after the show.
- 7:04Speaker 1: They have stuff to do.
- 7:05Speaker 2: Producer Riley trying to get the podcast in. She also
- 7:07Speaker 2: has all of her weekend things that she does. She
- 7:09Speaker 2: is on the weekends on the air. She does the
- 7:13Speaker 2: top five moments tomorrow morning at 8 a.m., and then
- 7:15Speaker 2: she does shifts on the radio like in the afternoon
- 7:19Speaker 2: on Saturday, Sunday, or I don't know the schedule.
- 7:21Speaker 4: Okay.
- 7:22Speaker 2: She's very, very busy, so I could not get her
- 7:24Speaker 2: on today. I know people want more Riley, and you
- 7:26Speaker 2: will get it.
- 7:27Speaker 1: I promise.
- 7:29Speaker 2: So, yeah, that's about it. Again, Jingle Ball, Tuesday morning,
