Closing Thoughts... · Billy & Lisa in the Morning: The After Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Well, happy Friday, everybody. Let's wrap the week up, shall we?
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: It's the After Show Podcast.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: I'm Justin. It's gloomy out on a Friday. I hate that.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: I've always said that since, I don't know, I used
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: to say it all the time on the podcast. I
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: want it to be nice on Fridays. That's my preference.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: If the sun is shining, it sucks getting out of work,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: and it's dark and gloomy out. The weekend kind of
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: looks iffy, not sure. A lot of baseball that will
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: probably get canceled. There's a practice tonight that will probably
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: get canceled.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: So I don't know.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: I'm just going to relax. I had the High Rocks
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: last weekend. So it'll be a good weekend to just
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: relax and kind of– I'll still work out but stretch out,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: veg out on the couch, watch some TV, which by
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: the way, I don't even watch TV anymore. Isn't that
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: a wild thing? There was a joke between Ashley Feldman
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: and I. She's a dear friend of mine because we
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: used to work together for many years before I came
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: over to Kiss full time. And we watched TV. That's
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: what we did, right? This is before both of us
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: had kids. We were on top of all the best shows.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: You came to us. We would tell you what show
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: to watch, what show not to watch. And then I
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: had a child in 2017, and it all changed. I
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: stopped watching TV because it becomes all about the kid,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: and it's very hard. By the time the kid goes
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: to sleep, especially when they're a baby, you're so tired.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: You just want to go to sleep.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: So I kind of fell out of watching TV, and
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: she used to always give me shit about it. Because
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: I was the guy and now I no longer watched
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: any of the shows that she watched. And so she
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: would like poke fun of me and I'd say, wait,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: just wait until you have kids.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: You'll learn. And she did not understand that.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: But let me tell you, she does now ask Ashley
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Feldman if she watches TV because she doesn't. And anytime
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: I ask her, so when I do watch a show,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: which isn't often, I can't, what was the last one
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: I watched? Well, I'm watching, actually, I'm watching the Jay-Z
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: on HBO, which is a docu-series. There's eight episodes. I
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: am watching that.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: One by one.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: So I asked her, hey, you watching that Jay-Z thing?
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: And the look she gives me is like, are you serious?
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Don't ask me that.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: I have two daughters under five years old. There is
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: no TV watching. And I miss TV, man.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: I really do.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I kind of came up in the Breaking Bad, Sopranos,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: The Wire. Those are like my top three, definitely. But
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: There were so many good shows. I mean, Sons of Anarchy,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: that was one big one that my wife and I watched.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Vampire Diaries was one that my wife and I watched
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: when we first started dating. I loved the Vampire Diaries.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Such a chick show, but I got into it. I
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: like Vampires, though. I know it's kind of a... Is
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: it a girl's show? I guess it would be, right?
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: But the Vampires were actually really cool in that show
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: because you had Vampires, but then you had.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: I forget what.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: They were called, but The ones that came before those vampires.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: So the ability that they had was they could control
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: your mind, the vampires. But then they had the.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: What were they called? I don't remember.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: The elders or something. These were like the old, old vampires.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: And those ones could control the vampires with the mind control,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: which was crazy. And then there was an offshoot show,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: which I didn't watch. But I did like the Vampire Diaries.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: So TV has always been an important part of my life.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: And I don't know, man.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: I just– I don't really have the time and I
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: don't really have the interest I guess. I'll hear about
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: a show and if it's really good, I'll watch it.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Like for example, White Lotus, I'll watch and– but it's
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: like a nighttime. I go to bed so early honestly.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Like I went to bed at 7.30 last night. By
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: the time I eat dinner, I shower, I do my
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: sauna and stuff, get the kids fed, get them showered,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: put them in bed. It's 7.30, 8 o'clock. I'm not
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: trying to watch TV. I'm trying to go to sleep.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to fall asleep. This is not always the
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: easiest thing. I've been doing this for 17 years, and
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: I still have anxiety when I'm going to sleep, thinking
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: about not waking up on time.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking about the show. I'm thinking about whatever.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: When I'm lying in bed, and maybe you can identify
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: with this, that's when I start thinking about the craziest things.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: I start thinking about death. I start thinking about infinity
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: and how I'm never coming back once I die. Just
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: the craziest thoughts.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: I don't know. So yeah, no TV for me. But
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: it's Friday and we're done for the week.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Busy, busy week. Really, really busy. You know, coming off
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: the High Rocks race, I was so glad that it
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: was over. And so now I've been like kind of
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: back into the routine of things. You know, we were
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: off for three days, which isn't a long time. But
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: just coming back from that short week, getting back into it,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: and it's gotten busier than ever. There's just so much
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: going on. The Massport thing happening on Monday.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: We have.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: The Harry Ween contest kicking off on Monday. That's going
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: to be insane. So that's a talkback for tickets contest
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: for Harry Styles tickets. Halloween weekend, New York City. It's
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: an all-expenses-paid trip. Train tickets, hotel, and tickets to both nights.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Madison Square Garden. That's going to be the final two
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: on Halloween weekend. So that's a big prize. That starts
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: on Monday. And, again, the Massport 9-10. I've been on meetings,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: endless meetings about this thing.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: It's a big deal.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Governor Maura Healey will be in, and the Massport people
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: and the eight finalists will be here, as well as
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: NBC National Nightly News.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: There's going to be all.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Kinds of reporters and cameras everywhere. So basically how it's
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: going to work is the eight finalists will be here.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: We'll bring them in one by one. to meet Billy
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: and Lisa, and then the governor and Massport, Rich Davey,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: who's the CEO, will be in here as well. So,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: you know, the governor and Rich will announce the name.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: All right, this is Mike from East Boston, and then
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: I'll play the audition. Mike will come into the studio,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: step up to the mic, we'll talk to him a
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: little bit, and then on to the next one. So
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: you'll meet them, you'll hear their audition, get to know
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: them a little bit, and then the voting will begin
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: on the 24th, and then everyone can vote on who
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: the next voice of Logan is.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: It's amazing.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: This thing has really taken off. I mean, it's a
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: big national story. You know, all the celebrities, sports teams
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: doing their auditions. It was covered on national news, covered
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: on Jimmy Fallon. Just a really, really cool, cool thing.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: And really cool that we're partnered with them. So, yeah,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: just a ton of meetings. I was at the gym yesterday.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Hour-long meeting.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: I had it on.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: I didn't have my video camera on, but I'm there
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: trying to stretch and trying to do some, you know,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: plyometric stuff.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: And I got this call going on. I'm like, oh, man,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: this is crazy.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: And then Jingle Ball, of course, local legends. It's a
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: very busy time, but grateful to be here.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: So I don't know.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Closing thoughts from the week. Just really happy and grateful, honestly.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Grateful for this show and grateful for the opportunity. We
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: had a meeting yesterday after the show, and they went
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: over all the ratings.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: And it's kind of cool. Like, you can see.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: The ratings day by day, week by week, month by month,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: quarter by quarter, you can see how many people are
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: listening and when they're listening, when they're tuning out.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: And it's really just phenomenal. It's unbelievable.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Like I look at it and I'm like, oh my God,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: it's just continued to grow over the past months, year.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: It's just like, you can see it. Lisa and I
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: were looking at it like, oh my God, just keeps
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: going up and up. So What does that tell us?
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: That tells us that people like the show. They like
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: the product that we're delivering. They like the way that
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: we're delivering it. And that feels really good. It really
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: does because I think about this show nonstop. It is
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: in my head. I am constantly, constantly thinking about ways
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: to make the show better, how to entertain people and
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: really just put out a good product that people can
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: listen to and they can enjoy. You know, and, you know,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: I fall short sometimes. Obviously, we all fall short, but
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: we do our best. It's not easy doing a live
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: radio show. It's really not. I know that this was
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: my dream growing up was to be on the radio or,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: you know, work on the radio.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: And now here I am. So don't take it for granted.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: But it's not easy.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: It's not easy doing live radio every single day. You know, people,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: you know, you got to say something that's something that
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: people don't like. It's just the way it is. So. Anyway,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: hit the Talkbacks this weekend. Anything going on? Anything cool
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: going on? I'd love to hear from you. Any questions
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: or comments? I feel like there was so much more
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: that I wanted to say, but I feel like my
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: brain is not working.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Well, Fridays are crazy, right? We record the countdown. We
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: do the show.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: I have to do commercials. I have to record commercials.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: I have to voice commercials. There's just so much going on.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: But if I forgot anything, let me know on the
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Talkbacks and Monday. Yeah, we're going to find out who
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: the finalists are. So that'll be a good after show
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: because we'll finally know who the eight finalists are for
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: The Voice of Logan.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: So pretty cool. Have a great weekend, everybody.
