Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: What's up, everybody? Welcome into the After Show podcast. It
- 0:02Speaker 1: is a Thursday, October 8th. We've got a meeting coming
- 0:05Speaker 1: up in a little bit. So I wanted to check
- 0:06Speaker 1: in with you really, really fast.
- 0:08Speaker 2: Say hello. Never want to leave you hanging.
- 0:10Speaker 1: If I'm a part, if this podcast is a part
- 0:13Speaker 1: of your routine, I never take that for granted. So
- 0:17Speaker 1: I like to get one out every day, even if
- 0:18Speaker 1: it's just a couple of minutes, just to check in,
- 0:20Speaker 1: see what's going on.
- 0:22Speaker 2: And yeah, big things happening. A lot of meetings happening.
- 0:26Speaker 2: It's fine.
- 0:27Speaker 1: Doesn't really bother me. But something really cool is coming back,
- 0:30Speaker 1: Local Legends. We did that last year or the year before.
- 0:33Speaker 1: That's when you get a chance to nominate somebody in
- 0:36Speaker 1: your community, so a nurse, a teacher, a bus driver,
- 0:39Speaker 1: somebody that you want to recognize that does not get
- 0:42Speaker 1: the recognition that they deserve. If they're doing great things
- 0:46Speaker 1: in the community for people, helping people, you can nominate them,
- 0:49Speaker 1: and then we're going to surprise them. Billy, Lisa, and myself,
- 0:53Speaker 1: we're going to either bring them into the studio or even–
- 0:56Speaker 1: hit the streets just to surprise them at their job.
- 0:59Speaker 1: We did this before we did. We did want to
- 1:01Speaker 1: mass general. That's what sticks out to me. It was
- 1:04Speaker 1: a nurse, longtime nurse who worked in the hospice at
- 1:08Speaker 1: mass general. And Oh my God, I got choked up
- 1:12Speaker 1: thinking about it. She has guided hundreds to thousands of
- 1:16Speaker 1: people when they die, like their final days into the
- 1:19Speaker 1: final hours of their life. And she is, widely recognized
- 1:24Speaker 1: at the hospital, beloved.
- 1:26Speaker 2: And she got nominated. We picked her.
- 1:28Speaker 1: And when we went to mass general, it was this
- 1:30Speaker 1: big thing. They had like hundreds of employees there to
- 1:34Speaker 1: surprise her. So she walked in thinking she's going to
- 1:36Speaker 1: a meeting. And then there was hundreds of people. And
- 1:39Speaker 1: then the Billy and Lisa show right there to surprise her,
- 1:42Speaker 1: give her a prize and say, thank you.
- 1:44Speaker 2: And that was one of the best ones, but all
- 1:46Speaker 2: of them are good. We go to schools.
- 1:47Speaker 1: Like imagine we walk into the classroom while the teacher
- 1:50Speaker 1: is like teaching the kids and It's fantastic. So that's
- 1:53Speaker 1: rolling out, I think, next week. Nominations will open, and
- 1:56Speaker 1: you can nominate people. We'll have all the details coming
- 1:59Speaker 1: up on the show. So, yeah, great show today. I
- 2:03Speaker 1: thought it was really, really funny. Yesterday's show was good, too.
- 2:05Speaker 1: We pushed it a little bit too far. We got
- 2:07Speaker 1: into trouble. You'll hear about these things on the after show. Yeah,
- 2:10Speaker 1: a couple of things that weren't really liked. One was
- 2:14Speaker 1: Dancing with the Stars. Okay, that was– they didn't like
- 2:17Speaker 1: that we covered that show.
- 2:19Speaker 2: And I get it. I get it.
- 2:22Speaker 1: You know, I don't watch the show. I know people
- 2:25Speaker 1: do watch it. Obviously it wouldn't still be on for
- 2:27Speaker 1: 35 seasons, but you know, the boss wasn't a big
- 2:32Speaker 1: fan thinks it's, you know, no one watches TV. It
- 2:34Speaker 1: makes the show sound old.
- 2:35Speaker 2: See, I disagree with that.
- 2:36Speaker 1: I know what he's saying, but I also think that,
- 2:38Speaker 1: you know, when we cover things, we also make it funny.
- 2:41Speaker 1: We do our best to kind of goof on it,
- 2:43Speaker 1: especially something like dancing with the stars. Right. I know
- 2:45Speaker 1: Riley watches it, but you know, Gamble's on there and
- 2:49Speaker 1: we kind of just like laugh at it and try
- 2:50Speaker 1: to make it funny. So, I don't know. I really
- 2:54Speaker 1: agree with that. And the other thing was the really
- 2:55Speaker 1: fake headlines, which, you know, it's my fault. It's a
- 2:59Speaker 1: live show. I do my best to make the show
- 3:02Speaker 1: entertaining and funny and walk the line and try not
- 3:05Speaker 1: to cross it. And sometimes I do cross it. And
- 3:08Speaker 1: it's a last-minute decision usually is what happens. I did
- 3:11Speaker 1: a story about a guy at a local town meeting
- 3:13Speaker 1: who showed pictures of himself naked. And he was– and
- 3:16Speaker 1: this is in the headline, right? He was doing the
- 3:18Speaker 1: helicopter with his manhood. So we kind of talked about that.
- 3:22Speaker 1: And then while I was wrapping up the segment, I
- 3:24Speaker 1: saw a talkback come in that was a little bit
- 3:26Speaker 1: too edgy, where, you know, this person said, Oh, you
- 3:30Speaker 1: never heard the saying, you know, you don't get this
- 3:31Speaker 1: without helicopter dick. And, you know, in that moment, I
- 3:34Speaker 1: think to myself, like, this could be a really, really
- 3:36Speaker 1: fun outro, but it's risky. And in that moment, I
- 3:40Speaker 1: chose to play it. So, you know, it's not that
- 3:42Speaker 1: we're forbidden to say the word dick on the air,
- 3:44Speaker 1: it's just kind of frowned upon. But more importantly, there
- 3:46Speaker 1: are children listening. And so In my mind, I thought
- 3:48Speaker 1: like 825, aren't the kids in school? And the boss
- 3:52Speaker 1: is super cool. Listen, he gives me a lot of leniency.
- 3:55Speaker 1: He doesn't really pick at the content that I do
- 3:58Speaker 1: or the clips that I play. I tend to play
- 4:02Speaker 1: outlandish stuff because I think that's what separates the show.
- 4:05Speaker 1: I think that when people listen to this, they're expecting
- 4:08Speaker 1: us to not be so vanilla. And, you know, I
- 4:12Speaker 1: do my best to kind of make that happen. And
- 4:15Speaker 1: sometimes I take it too far. And so, you know,
- 4:17Speaker 1: he wasn't so mad about us playing that. He was
- 4:18Speaker 1: just like, look, there's kids in the car for school.
- 4:21Speaker 1: I personally know kids, you know, friends of mine, friends
- 4:24Speaker 1: of my wife that are in the car listening and
- 4:26Speaker 1: they shouldn't be hearing that word. And I was like,
- 4:28Speaker 1: I understand completely. I go, it was my fault. I
- 4:30Speaker 1: own it right away. I don't ever deny it. I
- 4:32Speaker 1: don't ever try to like justify it. And I even
- 4:35Speaker 1: said to him, I'm like, look, boss, you know, I
- 4:37Speaker 1: appreciate that you let me You let me do my
- 4:40Speaker 1: thing and you don't pick at things. And so when
- 4:42Speaker 1: you do come to me, I really do take it seriously.
- 4:44Speaker 1: And I am sorry.
- 4:46Speaker 2: And I haven't got a DM about it this morning. Angry, angry, angry.
- 4:52Speaker 2: Did I delete it? Let me see. Okay.
- 4:55Speaker 1: She said, why are you talking about helicopter dick when
- 4:59Speaker 1: the Cornell seven is alive and well, okay. That was
- 5:02Speaker 1: the first part.
- 5:03Speaker 2: I get it. It's a big story. Okay. I mean,
- 5:05Speaker 2: it was a real headline. So, You know, I understand
- 5:09Speaker 2: what you're saying. That is a big story. Messed up story. God,
- 5:11Speaker 2: that is just terrible.
- 5:13Speaker 1: Then she says, this is why you guys have lost
- 5:15Speaker 1: so many listeners. Some of these stories are just gross
- 5:18Speaker 1: and inappropriate.
- 5:19Speaker 2: Okay.
- 5:20Speaker 1: So the headlines, yes, some of them are gross. I
- 5:22Speaker 1: don't choose like the really gross ones. Some of you
- 5:24Speaker 1: guys send me some real bad ones. I try to
- 5:26Speaker 1: like choose which ones I'm going to do. But to
- 5:29Speaker 1: try to hurt me with the, this is why you
- 5:31Speaker 1: guys have lost so many listeners. Actually, We've actually gained
- 5:35Speaker 1: about 100 times what we used to have, which is
- 5:37Speaker 1: an amazing thing. We just hit number one. I can't
- 5:40Speaker 1: believe it. Like number one show in the city, second
- 5:42Speaker 1: quarter in a row. That's six months straight at number
- 5:45Speaker 1: one by a mile. And thank you to everybody who listens.
- 5:49Speaker 1: But we can see the people that are listening and
- 5:51Speaker 1: it is through the roof. So to try to hurt
- 5:53Speaker 1: me like that, that's not going to work. I have
- 5:55Speaker 1: all the proof to prove it. So I don't respond though.
- 5:57Speaker 1: I never respond to people. I mean, well, for the
- 6:01Speaker 1: most part, I don't. I don't engage in this. I
- 6:02Speaker 1: know she was just angry about the Cornell seven thing.
- 6:05Speaker 1: A lot of people are outraged about that. And she
- 6:06Speaker 1: connected to that story. Just know the story wasn't on
- 6:09Speaker 1: my mind when that happened. You know, I'm just trying to,
- 6:12Speaker 1: the segment's called real or fake headlines and the segment
- 6:15Speaker 1: does very, very well. And there's a reason why, because
- 6:17Speaker 1: they're outlandish headlines. So maybe if I didn't play the clip,
- 6:23Speaker 1: that would have been better. But listen, again, you live
- 6:25Speaker 1: and you learn. I've been in radio for 17 years
- 6:28Speaker 1: and I still make mistakes and I own that and
- 6:30Speaker 1: I will get better. I will continue to progressively get better.
- 6:33Speaker 1: That's what I told my boss. So there's that. High
- 6:36Speaker 1: Rocks race, a couple days out. I'm excited, a little nervous.
- 6:39Speaker 1: It's going to be good, though. Sunday, the very last race,
- 6:41Speaker 1: men's double. I'm going to start right about 140. But
- 6:44Speaker 1: High Rocks starts today, so welcome to all the racers
- 6:47Speaker 1: coming into Boston. WBZ was down there, Levin Reed, covering
- 6:51Speaker 1: the event.
- 6:51Speaker 2: It's a big deal, this High Rocks thing. Who knew? Hey, Justin.
- 6:54Speaker 1: Good luck this weekend at High Rocks.
- 6:56Speaker 2: Just wanted to inform.
- 6:57Speaker 1: You about this product called LevoTape. They make it in France.
- 7:01Speaker 1: You can buy it on Prime. It's on sale, actually,
- 7:03Speaker 1: right now. But it's extremely useful for pretty much everything.
- 7:08Speaker 1: It's like KT tape on steroids, but it's really good
- 7:11Speaker 1: at putting places where you might shave, like your nipples.
- 7:15Speaker 1: So if you're worried about that.
- 7:16Speaker 2: Check that out. It might be really useful for you,
- 7:18Speaker 2: and it lasts forever.
- 7:19Speaker 1: It stays on for like a week.
- 7:21Speaker 2: Goodbye. I've got to look that up.
- 7:22Speaker 1: I've heard of KT tape, not Lugo tape.
- 7:24Speaker 2: I'm going to look that up. If I have time,
- 7:26Speaker 2: I'll get it shipped from Amazon to my house. I'll
- 7:27Speaker 2: use it. I'll take anything I can get, honestly. But
- 7:30Speaker 2: I think I'm ready. I think I'm ready.
- 7:31Speaker 1: I'm going to my gym today, drive, to kind of
- 7:34Speaker 1: touch each machine. No heavy running, no heavy exercising, but
- 7:38Speaker 1: each station, there's eight stations, I am going to just
- 7:40Speaker 1: touch them.
- 7:41Speaker 2: For a little while.
- 7:42Speaker 1: So some skierg, some wall balls, some burpee broad jumps,
- 7:45Speaker 1: just to kind of shake things out. And then tomorrow
- 7:47Speaker 1: I might do a quick like one mile shakeout run. Saturday,
- 7:50Speaker 1: complete rest, carb up, electrolytes, hydration, and then Sunday, I'm
- 7:55Speaker 1: going to give it my best shot. So looking forward
- 7:57Speaker 1: to it. All right, everybody. Have a great day.
- 8:00Speaker 2: I know the weather's been pretty nice. A little cloudy
- 8:02Speaker 2: out there today. But yeah, it's.
- 8:04Speaker 1: Been good this week. Let's keep it going, everybody. Tomorrow, Friday,
- 8:07Speaker 1: Ben Meswick's coming in. The Social Reckoning with Jeremy Strong
- 8:10Speaker 1: in theaters this weekend. He had a part in that. Obviously,
- 8:12Speaker 1: he wrote The Social Network, the book the movie was
- 8:16Speaker 1: based on. So this is the sequel. Looks really, really good.
- 8:19Speaker 1: So he's coming in tomorrow. And Jingle Ball tickets at
- 8:22Speaker 1: 710 and the Olivia double plays going on. Just a
- 8:24Speaker 1: lot going on.
- 8:24Speaker 2: I love you guys. Keep us on. And again, I
- 8:27Speaker 2: don't know, man. Thank you. Number one. It's crazy.
- 8:30Speaker 1: It's not that I'm not proud of the show. I
- 8:33Speaker 1: am proud of it. I have a big part in
- 8:35Speaker 1: the show and putting it together, you know, on and
- 8:37Speaker 1: off the air. But to like, you know, to get
- 8:39Speaker 1: that text from the boss, to see the numbers, to see,
- 8:42Speaker 1: to really see the people that are listening, that are
- 8:45Speaker 1: engaging with the show and people that are leaving talkbacks
- 8:48Speaker 1: and talking about us.
- 8:50Speaker 2: It's just, It feels really, really good. So thank you
- 8:53Speaker 2: to all of, well, you. See ya.
