• 1:05
  Speaker 1: heard her snickering. We're gonna get to you in one
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: second because we have something to tackle you and I
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: that has to deal with what you do on the show.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: But yeah, Mo actually lives in Salem, I believe. Yeah,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: she lives there and she is a nurse. And she
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: came to my yard sale Riley. Remember I had that
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: yard sale a couple of years ago. She came and
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: was hanging out. And then another day I was did
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: she buy something from there? She did? I forget what
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: she got. She bought something, probably well, she probably felt
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: bad that she had to buy something from nanny. It
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: was ridiculous. But another time I was in market basket.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Now you're you live in Salem, Riley. So there's ten
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: market baskets within a one mile radius, by the way,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: which one's your favorite?
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: Oh so okay, the old, new one, the one that's
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: now by the Marshalls, And.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: That's the one I go to.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Joe far we're getting a whole Foods. Yeah,
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: you didn't know that that's.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Going in Tuscan. Not sure where I know, because my
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: wife is excited.
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: You even have room for that?
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know, But there's been a high. There's been
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: a high demand for it. Yeah, I think actually yeah,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: so yeah, so there's three market baskets Tuscan. The one
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: you just said in the middle is a small older one. Yeah,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: that's yeah. And I feel like that's for the elderly
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: people absolutely, Like my wife's grandmother shops there and nanny
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: drops her off. She's eighty four and she does her
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: shopping by herself and then they pick her up.
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: But I don't like going to that one because I
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: don't know where anything is.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean neither. I like the one that we
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: go to. Mean, I love it.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: It's perfect.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: So I was in that little one and it was
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: like on a Friday, I had done the After Show
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: with Winnie and I was in there shopping and this
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: woman walked by me and she she was on her phone.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I noticed she was on her phone, walks by me. Whatever.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: A few minutes later, I'm checking out and the woman's
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: coming towards me now and she's holding the phone and
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: she goes, oh, oh my god, I'm listening to the
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: after Show while I'm shopping, and now here you are.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: And it was mom, that's actually kind of funny. Pretty funny, right,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: pretty cool. So that's that Thank you everybody. Yeah, I
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: was talking about I know you probably didn't listen yesterday,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: but I was talking about perspective in life and how
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: important perspective is and having a positive attitude towards things
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: and how you look at things is really you know
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: how your day is gonna go. Yeah, if you look
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: at things things negatively, you're gonna have a negative day.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: One thing that I love about if we ever carpool together,
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: because I make you do that a lot for me
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: because I don't want to drive. I like that you
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: turn everything into a life lesson for me. Like not
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: in like a grandpa, no, like in like very much
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: like an older brother sort of way. I always feel like,
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: I like, get out of your car and I'm like, Okay,
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: I've got things to think about now.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: It's just because of experience, I think. You know, It's
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: just you go through things, you learn things, and I've
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: made every mistake possible. There is a voicemail okay that
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: was sent to me from years ago this and I
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: can't even listen to it. I don't even know. I
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: was so angry yelling at somebody. It's a long story
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: as to why it exists. But I listened to it,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, who is that person? You know? So
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: I've been through some crazy, crazy stuff.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, thinking back on your older self, you mean you
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: left it or somebody left it.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: I left it for somebody else that I was angry at,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: and I was like yelling and screaming at them and
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: being kind of threatening towards them, and I'm like, super embarrassed.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I played it for my wife. She goes, what is that?
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Why were you so angry?
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: But then you have moments where that cop reached out
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: to you and he was like, I'm so proud of you.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, you remember that? Oh my god. I
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: don't know if I ever shared that in this podcast. Yeah.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Sergeant Mollus from Malden, Massachuset. He's retired now, but he
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: was the high school cop at Maldon High and then
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: he was a detective and then he became chief of
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: the police. He lived right around the corner from me,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: so he arrested me several times, and all my friends,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: everything he knew, all all about me, was on my case.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: He was a legit like cops cop if you will. Yeah,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: And obviously I ended up leaving Maldon, and you know,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: did what I did and turned my life around to whatever.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: And then one day someone came in, a salesperson and
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: there was an envelope left under the radio station door
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: and it was a letter from him, and it was
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: like it was beautiful, like he goes, you know, I
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: always wonder what happened to you, and I had no idea.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: And a friend of mine was a woman, was talking
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: to me recently saying, you know, there's a kid from
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Malden on Kiss one o eight now and I looked
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: you up and I just cannot believe one year alive
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: and to where you are. I'm so proud of you,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: you know. And he gave me his phone number. I
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: never called him. I should have called him, yeah, but.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: Also sometimes it's good to just leave it as that.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, yeah, he was a motherfucker though. I
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: want to a quick story. So I had gotten arrested
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: for something out to forget what it was. And when
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: I got arrested, they had, you know, he brought me
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: in and he brought me into like the interrogation room,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: and he started asking me questions about other like drug
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: dealers and people in the city. And obviously you don't talk.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: That's the general rule. You don't snitch, you don't talk.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: So I wouldn't tell him anything, and he was getting
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: so mad because these were my friends, and so I
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: didn't tell him anything because god forbid, I'm ever labeled
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: a rat. Yeah, and so whatever, he was mad, they
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: booked me. Whatever. Fast forward like some time later, I'm
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: standing in Malden Square with a group of my friends
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: and he comes walking up because we were kind of
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: near the police station. He walks by us, I kid,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: you not interrupts us and goes, hey, justin you know,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: that was a really good talk we had last week
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: or whatever, you know, just I really enjoyed it. It
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: was a good talk we had at the station. My
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: friends were like, what the fuck does that mean? He
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: basically was insinuating Riley that I was a snitch and
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: I had to convince my friends that I didn't and
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: he was making it up and ended up, Okay, I
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: didn't get stitches that time. Now that's a So when
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: you are in that world obviously snitching and ratting and
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: it's the lowest form of life, but then what happens
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: is I learned this from like a mentor of mine,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: is once you get out of that life, and you're
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: not involved in that anymore. The word rat really doesn't
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: exist because you're not in there in that world anymore.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: So I learned that because after I got clean, I
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: would still use that lingo like I'm not a rat,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: I'm not a rat. And one time this guy said
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: to me, he goes, No, that word doesn't exist to
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: you anymore. Now if you go back into a world
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: of crime, then it does. He goes. I'll give you
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: an example. If I'm at my house and I see
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: someone breaking into my neighbor's house, I'm calling the police. Yeah,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: does that make me a rat? And I thought about
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: it and I go no, he goes, See what I mean,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: He's gonna move away from that, away from that lingo
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: and that thought process. I just thought that was interesting.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: So there you go. Shout out to mo went on
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: a tangent. There one other thing I want to get
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: to before we get to Riley and what we're going
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: to talk about real quick, which has to do with
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: the show, is this.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Hi.
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: Justin. My name's Christine. I'm just leaving you a message
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: because I heard an alarming commercial on the radio on
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: kissinoight this afternoon, A very long time morning show listener,
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: and I heard a commercial for Christinome from Homeland Security
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: talking about ice and deportation. I'm assuming that's from iHeart.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Yes, this is a giant deal at the radio station
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: that we are dealing with. Yeah, this is not us.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I mean it plays on our stations, but basically we
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: didn't even know it was playing. It's just started playing.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: And my boss is like fielding calls and emails about it.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: So this is pushed through nationally. We have no control
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: over it. It sucks because a lot of people are
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: angrily angry and rightfully so right and so between that
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: and top Dog the top Dog Law, it's like, people go,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: what the hell are you doing? So I just wanted
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: to play that just to know that. Yeah, we're dealing
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: with it too. We get a lot of complaints about it,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: and my boss is applying to like every email.
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: He told us to give people his email if they
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: have issues.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Which I have, if they've DMed yeah.
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: Which is pretty telling about how we feel about it.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: I feel like so the way he the way it
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: was positioned to me is like on a scale of like, obviously,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: what happened with Winny and her layoffs and all the
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: company layffs, not just her, all of them was like
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: a big deal. It's a big fallout on every radio
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: station that was affected by the layoffs. That right there,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: much bigger. Yeah, Like as far as being a problem
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: because a lot of people are upset about it.
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it sucks and I we understand.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So the way the radio station works is obviously
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: you have like commercials that we've run that are local,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: and then we have ones that are national, and then
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: we have ones that are kind of pushed through. We
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: don't put them in, they're pushed through on a national level,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: and that's one of them. And so it just started
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: playing and now he's dealing with it. We're dealing with it,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: so we're sorry.
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I do turn the air down if I so,
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: I don't want to listen to it either.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: I get it, Yeah, I get I get it. Man,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: I get so many DMS about it. So yeah, I
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: just know it's it's not us. It's kind of out
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: of control. I hate to keep saying that, but it's true.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: It's like it's like the layoffs thing. I had to
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: keep saying that it's out of our control. But there's
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: nothing we can do, just is what it is, but Riley,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: I did get a talk back. That's why I brought
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: you in so you can speak to this as can
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: I justin.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Would you ever consider giving us a kind of play
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: by play of what goes into producing a show. I've
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: always been curious on what goes on behind the scenes.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: It just comes across so easy, but I know there's
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: a ton of prep and I'd love to learn more.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Thanks, now she's talking my language. And I'd brought in
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: producer Riley because you are called producer Riley.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah thatgame for a reason.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, because Lisa's son is named Riley. So when
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: you join the show.
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: Be that side note on that. Well, so my middle
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: name is Catherine, and my mom wanted to call me
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: Riley Kate when I was growing up, and then when
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: I got to like elementary school, I was like, I'll
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: just go by Riley. I wish i'd gone by Riley
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: Kate though, because I could have been Riley Kate on
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: Kiss Want to wait?
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it might have been.
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: So cool name. I could have been Riley Kate instead
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: of producing.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Missed opportunity better than McCabe.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: And he chose that name.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: He chose it.
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: I didn't choose producer Riley.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: No, we gave that name to Yeah, McCabe's real name
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: is Mike, and there was a kid in his high school. Well,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: I'm going to have a mon soon he'll tell the story.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: There was kid in his high school name McCabe and
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: he liked that name.
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not even his last name.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: He's not even his last name.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: Which is very confusing to me. Still sometimes I forget.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: That he's an interesting character. Anyway, when it comes to
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: producing the show, yes, a lot of work goes into it,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: a lot. So I want to get your thoughts first, Okay,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: because what you do is you helped me produce the show,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: and obviously your role's kind of changed with you know,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: the changes and everything. Yeah, but originally you were answering
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: the phones, doing the podcast and assisting me. Is that right? Yeah,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: so you would so you'd answer the phones, and that
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: you'd edit the show up and put the podcast up. Yeah,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: and now you do. You have to run the board
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: and do the video and will not answer the phones.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: I have to do that.
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: We we split it.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: I try. She'd you should see what we do. It's
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: actually unbelievable. It's crazy. But when it comes to producing
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: the show. So I get in around four a m.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Bill gets in around four to four fifteen. I get in.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: I go right to printing everything that Billy needs. So
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: that's all the news stories, the entertainment stories. I set
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: up kind of the the it's called the log of
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: what our music is. Riley does it the most of it.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: I'll go in and make some adjustments that I like
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: to do, and then I start pulling sound. Right, So
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: I give Billy what he needs. So I give him
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: a national news feed, a local feed, and then entertainment feed.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: I give him that. I give him the weather. He
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: begins writing his news and getting that ready. While he's
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: doing that, I am printing more entertainment stories. What I
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: do during the day is as I'm on my phone scrolling,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: doom scrolling, I'm screenshotting. And so when I come in,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: we have prep services that kind of highlight different entertainment stories.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: I'll print them, I'll pull the sound, I'll go to
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: my phone, my notes, I'll go on TMZ, and I'll
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: try to pull as much as possible. Okay, And it's
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: at this time that Riley comes in, and so Riley
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: does the five to six AM. So you come in
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: and you bang that out the five to six am
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: the pre show, and then you come in and join
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: us and you sit in with us.
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah. After I do the log, Yeah.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Yep, so oh yes, you finish the log, get that ready,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: and then you come in with us. You sit down
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: and Billy writes his news and then he has to
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: write his entertainment too, So then he'll take all the
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: stories that I printed. He'll sit with Riley and I
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: he'll lay them all out in front of him and
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: he'll start building a report. It's basically what he does.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: And so once he's we'll do the six forty, then
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: we'll do the entertainment, and then once he's done, the
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: show starts at six am. Lisa gets in around four fifty.
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, she is in around five when I do, I think, yeah.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: And she's part of it too, but she helps more
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: billion the office. Yes, So as Billy's writing, he's talking
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: on Lisa about different stories and then he and then
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: he comes in here with us. He finishes, then Lisa
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: goes into the main studio gets ready for the traffic.
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: At six am, do I have everything?
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah? I feel like they discuss what they think is
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: important ye together. Yeah, yeah, but that's it.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well I.
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: Also do the weather.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: You also do the weather?
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well I do Lisa's weather and I do the weather. Seven,
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: I'm seven, hello, ten, eleven, and twelve.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Do you know that I didn't know that?
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Oh on kiss on kiss yeah nice, I'll have to
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: I'll have to listen, all right. So then we have
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: to come up with topics for the show. What are
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: we going to talk about? So Riley does a prep
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: sheet yep and a trending sheet too, Yes.
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I do both, just like I try to look
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: through some of the prep sites that we have stuff
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: that I know that you probably wouldn't pull an entertainment.
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: So some of like the more random ones like today,
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: which you would have pulled but you didn't. So it's fine,
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: Like the Goop thing yea, like I had that on there.
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: That way they could refer to that the stuff that
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: I think we might need, you pull, the stuff that
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: we need eyeple, the stuff that we might need.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, So we just basically gather and then we
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: put together essentially is what it is. So I'll give
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: you an example today Today Billy came in, he did
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: his news, then he did his entertainment before he does entertainment.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: We produced a six forty segment which is kind of
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: where entertainment used to be, but we moved it so
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: now it's more of we kind of pull one big
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: story or one you know story we think it's worth
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: talking about to put at six forty. So today we
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: were thinking about it and the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade, huge lineup.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: It's connected to jingle Ball. Obviously there's a lot of
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: audio attack to it. I love playing audio, so anything
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: that we can play a lot of audio, I'm just
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: an audio guy. You know that about me if you
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: listen to the show. So we did that at six forty,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: and then we had Turkey Toss at seven ten. So
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: the jingle Ball tickets, it's just very busy. So Billy
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: writes all this down, so he has notes to go
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: by because it's a lot.
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: He does it all by hand, which is so funny.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: It's very old school him.
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, just like create all these and so that's why
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: if you hear him turning papers, it's because he's turning
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: like eight different papers in front of him, right, which
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: I always think is so funny when I hear the
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: papers turning like in the audio, just.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Because he has so much in front of him and
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: most people probably now that we said it, they might
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: hear it, yeah, but typically they don't. They don't hear it.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: So yeah, so then we do that. Then we have
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: to in the midst of all that, come up with
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: a good topic time, which usually comes from us going
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: over the entertainment stories of the day. Today was Tom Brady.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: That was an easy one, you know, it's kind of
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: people talking about it. That's something we want to talk
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: about with our listeners. That was topic time. And then
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: the rest of the show, Riley we plugging on the sheet.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: So but things are like fast moving and they're always changing.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: So we do our headline segment or I'll pull some
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: headlines that are real or fake, which is a fun
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: thing that we can put anywhere. But if there's another
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: story that comes up, like a trending or local story,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: we'll put that at eight twenty. Yeah.
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: Sometimes we'll move things around.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So it's all laid out on a sheet that
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: we go by essentially, and then we had Joe Fower
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: from Tuscan at nine to ten, and then nine and nine,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: twenty five and nine are wrap up in talkback left over,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: so we have the basic structure of the show that
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: makes sense. Yeah, right, And then during the show, Riley
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: is running the board, so she's in there. Anything that's
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: playing over the over the radio, she's running and making
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: sure it's running. She's pushing the buttons. She's keeping Billy
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: and Lisa on time so they know what's going on.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: What am I missing?
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: I run Lisa's traffics. Lisa's traffics like the biggest besides
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: obviously getting into the show.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but there's a lot of traffics.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: So many traffics feel bad for Lee, like she'll be like,
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: can I go to the bathroom? Like nope, no traffic
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: and a live here.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: The live read thing is another big part of the show.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: So not a lot of other shows do that, the
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: live read thing. Really Yeah, well they do. Yeah, they
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: don't do it on Jamming maybe in other other cities,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: but but they do it here. They've always done that
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: because it costs more, right, because think about that, if
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: the commercials start, people tend to tune out. But if
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: the commercials are coming to an end and it ends
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: with traffic, they know we're coming back or coming to music.
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: So that they're listening to the traffic or.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: They're listening to the traffic, and then it goes right
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: into a live read and you're like, oh is this content?
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Oh no, and then you hear the commercial.
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: Boom, or you'll just be like, well, the music is
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: coming up in a second, so I'll just wait.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah and smart, and it's very smart and you gotta
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: think about it about it too. We do our whole
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: show live. Yeah, like it's live live. There was a
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: kid named Zach who works in our traffic department that
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: was shadowing today. He was kind of sitting in with
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Riley and I seeing what we do because he's interested
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: in the you know, broadcasting programming side of things, and
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: he goes, you guys do this all live?
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Like yeah, yeah.
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: He was like, you guys kind of build the shot
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: of nothing and we were like, yeah, every single.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Day pretty much. It just it just happens, and we
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: do a lot in four.
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: Hours, so so much.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Like he was watching me put it together the
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: whole entertainment, how I do the sound, and I was
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: pulling sound in real time while live on the air.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, he just couldn't believe it. To me, it's
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: normal to you it's normal because you know we've been
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: doing it, but to him it was like shocking.
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: It is really interesting to see and he was kind
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: of standing over your shoulder like I used to do.
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: But it is interesting to see you when I know
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: you're looking for a sound bite that's in the system
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: already and you're still talking on air. You are typing
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: something and also talking at the same time. I'm always
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: very impressed when you do that. Yeah, because I know
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: you like you sort it in a specific way, so
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: you have things titled in ways that you're like, Okay,
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: I know X y Z is titled like this. I
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: will can pull it up easily. But it's still very
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: impressive to watch you type and talk at the same time.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because I'm thinking, I'm listening for keywords that would
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: be good. I'm always just searching for sound so as
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: I'm talking, and you know, he's talking about Sidney Sweeney
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: and the jeans thing, so I'm typing in jeans or
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: I'm typing in fashion. I have it stored a certain
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: way to see if there's any clips that I can
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: possibly play, and when there's a good one, I'm able
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: to play it or talk into it and play it,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: so it's just a it's just I feel like there's
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: something that we have that not a lot of other
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: shows have.
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: It's super individual and special.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm playing I'm playing talkbacks live.
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah that's yeah, yeah, which.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Is actually pretty crazy.
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: It's like we love that the talkbacks are like literally
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: part of the show.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, they say crazy things. Then it's not us
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: saying the crazy things, you know, because lud knows if
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: I was to Yeah, I don't know. I feel like
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: I can be more edgy. I'm more edgy off the
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: air and my natural life obviously, you know, I can
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: say more things that are you know, whatever, But on
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: the air, I feel like it doesn't sound right.
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: No. Yeah, I feel like the only time we ever
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: get like a little is it's usually like just jokes. Yeah, yeah,
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: like you're not obviously we're not bringing up something that's
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: like too dirty because we know that there's kids in
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: the car, Like there's always going to be times where
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: it doesn't land, and we don't love that, Like we
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: want our jokes to land.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the kids thing is a big deal. That's something
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: that we forget sometimes is the kids are in the
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: back seat and then they'll DM me and be like,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: now my kid's asking me what a vibrator is?
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, like what's a slut? Yeah yeah, and we're.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Like oh no, or god forbid. They go to school
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: and repeat what they heard too.
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: And you have young kids, so you understand what it's
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: like to be in the car or you're able saying well, dad,
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: what does that mean? And then you're like, oh no,
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: don't say that.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Yep, I do, absolutely, I do.
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: Another thing I think people would love to know is
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: how you get all of the candid microphones from.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, So when Billy's in my studio in the
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: morning or anytime he walks in, I start recording when
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: he doesn't know. So those candid microphones are real. He
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: doesn't know he's being recorded.
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: If he ever says that's edited, it's not.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: It's not edited. It's not. At the he comes in,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: he sits down and he just starts talking. And I
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: have to It's funny because with Riley, when she first
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: started coming in, she didn't know what I was doing.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: So you have to pick up cues on when Billy's
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: going to go on a rant. When he gets it,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: he gets angry, and so when he does you got
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: to kind of not talk and let him talk.
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: I feel like I've gotten pretty good about that.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So there were a couple that were ruined by Riley.
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: You didn't know or is somebody walking in or whatever.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So then Riley would be like talking to him,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: it's Bill, what do you mean? Oh no, you're crazy
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Billy Billy, but you're talking over him, and so it
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: just not clean audio. So I had to talk with her.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: I'm like, look, you got to pick up a cue
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: when he's going on a rant. Just be quiet or
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: just say like one word.
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: Now else I can usually see when you turn the
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: mic on or like potted up. So usually I'm pretty good.
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: But it's one thing that we both do is we'll
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: try to set him off a little bit, Like if
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: he's going on a rant, sometimes we'll try to like
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: stoke the fire.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: It that way he keeps going. The more he ramped up,
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: he gets more the funny.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Hurt is for us. It's the best. Unhinged Billy is
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: just the best. It's literally and that's what we.
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: Get from five to six thirty. He's crazy.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: He is a crazy person in a good way. He's
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: lovable crazy, but he is crazy. Oh, we love him.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: We love him. So any other questions about producing the
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: show you can ask, it doesn't matter. I'll try to
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: answer as much as possible.
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: I do have.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: McCabe coming in soon. Power of Recovery is coming in.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: I'm booking some people to come in and join me.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: If not, I'll just yap. Imagine that I just talk
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: like I'm talking to my friends because I feel like
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: they're my friends.
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: There is one day that I don't know you might
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: have been on the phone, but I did peek in
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: here because I was looking for you, and you had
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: your feet up on the desk like reclining with your
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: headphones on, so I could tell that you were recording something,
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: but like your feet were just like fully up on
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: the desk, and I was like, who's.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: He talking to me? Yeah? I was talking to myself, well,
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: my friends. I was talking to my friends, right, but
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: really to myself. But I think they like it. I
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: think they appreciate it. So you can always join the
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: app to show. You can always get your input in
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app. You just boom, hit that microphone button,
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: leave a talk back, and produce a rally. Thank you
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: so much for coming in today anytime. I appreciate it
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: and I have a good day. We will talk tomorrow hopefully,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: but I feel pretty good about it. Bye bye,
