  Speaker 2: cool moment.

  Speaker 1: My son Abel tied against the team he was playing,

  Speaker 1: and his best friend Liam, who one of my best
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: friends Mike, that's his son, was on the other team.

  Speaker 1: So they played each other. And then at the end
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: of the game, last two innings, Liam got put into
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: pitch and actually pitched to Able. So two best friends
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: playing against each other. It was all in good fun.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: But I spent hours at the baseball field because you know,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: then my other friend had his son playing after that game,
• 0:56

  Speaker 2: I welcome that.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: Justin it's Mo. I totally agree with you about that
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: idea of giving Jen the gifts to see her friends
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: from mother's say. I would do that, and then you
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: can get her a little something for her birthday when
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: it gets closer. That way she can plan. And I
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: feel like half the fun about our ship is anticipating it,

  Speaker 3: you know. So that's what I would do. You're so fossiful.
• 1:35

  Speaker 2: Thank you, Mo.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: I actually have an update to that. So she last
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: night she says, oh, you know, I gotta plan this trip.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: I got a book it, and I said to her,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I'm booking it. I didn't want her to book it.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: I go, I'm booking it. Here's my card. So I
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: took on my card for her to book it. She's
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: looking at the flights and I gotta love my I
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: love my wife, and she goes, oh my god, oh oh,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: all set, all set. I'm like nice. She goes, oh, yeah,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: I didn't even need your card, hands it back to
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: me and goes, I had points on Jet Blue. It
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: only cost me twenty dollars to book a round trip
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: flight to North Carolina. And I'm like, no, I wanted
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: to pay for it, so no, you don't have to
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: pay for It's fine. So now I'm on the plan B,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: which is I don't know. That's how I was going
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: to get her. I was gonna get it. I was
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: gonna get it for her for her birthday and then
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: something else on Mother's Day.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Now I'm stuck. So I don't know
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: what to do. Hmm.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: It's it's not easy. My wife's really going through a
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: hard time. Not a hard time, but you know, I
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: shared a little bit of it on the podcast, with
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: her friend moving away and her not having kind of
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: you know, her bestie here. You know, I can really
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I just really feel for her, you know. I didn't
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: realize that was that's what was going on until she
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: told me that because she had been kind of off
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: a little bit, not like sad or depressed, but just
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: kind of off. And then when we had a conversation
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: and she told me that now I really see it,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: you know, think about it every day. You know, I
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: have friends that I see. I have friends that come
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: over to do the sauna and the ice bath. I
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: go to the gym. I have friends there. You know,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: she doesn't have really anybody. You know, she has friends
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: that she has, friends that she sees, but not that much.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: But she doesn't have you know, those people, that person.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: And I really don't know how to how to help her,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: aside from you know, sending her down to North Carolina
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: to see her friend. You know, you can't just develop
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: these relationships. I did suggest actually she was going to
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: do it last night, but then she had homework. Where
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: she has like two best friends, one in Carolina and
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: then the other one lives in Haveroll. But she's the
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: one that has you know, kids and grandkids. She's not
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: even that old, but she has grandkids. And they're only
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: two different kind of paths in life, not past, but
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: places in life. I suggested they do like a zoom.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, it sounds silly, but once a week have
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: a zoom check in at a certain time, so maybe
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: every Sunday at seven o'clock they can jump on the
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: zoom and check in on the week, and at least
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: they can see each other and kind of talk about
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: things that you talk about with your best friends, you know,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: when I think about my friends coming over, like my
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: friend Al and the plumber all my friend Mike, they
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: come over. We go on the sauna and we talk man.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: We talk about life, We talk about our days, we
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: talk about our marriages, we talk about recovery, we talk
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: about all types of stuff. It's very therapeutic. And then
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: being in the sauna and sweating and stuff sounds weird,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: but it's also therapeutic. So I understand that her not
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: having anybody, she spends the majority of her time with
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: a fucking three year old.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: So I'm really hoping this trip is gonna help.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: And I think next weekend from Mother's Day, we're gonna
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: we're gonna get a hotel room at this place she
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: was showing me last night.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: It's like got the sick pool, it's got a whole
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: kid set up.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: I try to do just her and I, but she
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: doesn't want to leave the kids with nanny on Mother's Day. Like, hey,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: here's your gift watch our children. So we'll do that
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: this weekend.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: And I don't know. I got to figure out o
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: this stuff anyway. What else is going to Just Mike.
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: From New Hampshire. I'm making one last pitch to try
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: and get those numbers from the Noah Kan contest. If
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: you can't give them to me, that's fine, I understand.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: Please DM me on Instagram, you know my Instagram handle.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: If you can give them to me, I'm just curious.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: If not, I'm moving on to Olivery Rodrigo contest because
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: I would love to win those tickets. M can't wait
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: to hear what the contest is. Thank you rand much.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Mike, I do kind of have an answer
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: for you, but not really. So this was actually very annoying.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: This is an after show exclusive. That's what you get here, right,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: You get the behind the scenes stuff that you will
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: never ever hear on the regular show. So the iHeartRadio
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: app is national obviously, it's it's it's managed by the
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: national people, right, it's it's a big, big deal. So
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: we launched the contests. Now I don't really know the
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: whope is behind the scenes of it, but apparently they
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: found out that, yes, you can see how long each user,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: you know, uses the app. So in our head and
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: this is why we said that we were going to
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: gather all the numbers, meaning that the people nationally were
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: going to provide this data to us that we would
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: then give to all of you. What didn't work out
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: like that When the time came, they just kind of
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: sent over the top five and then I said, well,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: what about the data and the numbers? And I forget
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: what they said. They said, no, they didn't send that
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: data over. There really wasn't a reason why. It was
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: like something about it tracks that the by blocks or something.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I forget what it was. But they couldn't give us
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: an answer as to why. So I do not have
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: a total listening time, which is unfortunate. So yeah, I'm sorry, Mike.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: I know you were, I know you listened a lot.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: You weren't even in the top five. All the people
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: who left talkbacks were not even in the top five.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: The guy that won had never left a talkback, the
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: guy in Bellingham. I'm like, he just listened NonStop for
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: fucking two weeks. I don't know, that's crazy, but he
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: was the winner. It was not like there's no sham
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: going on. They legit could see how long people listen for,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: and they gave us that information.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: They broke it down. They just didn't provide the numbers.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: And when I tried to ask why, there was no
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: answer for it. It was like, oh no, they just
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: sent the top five. So sorry about that, Mike. I
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: know it's annoying. If it was a local thing, we would.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Have handled it. But it's kind of about out of
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: our hands. You know.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: The iHeart app is a huge deal for the company,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: so it's a whole like section of the company that
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: handles it. So it's still a really cool contest. And
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: now we're doing the Olivia Rodrigo, which is just the
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: top pack for tickets, which is a cool thing too.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: You can tell we're trying to push app listening because
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: app listening is the future of radio if you think
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: about it. You know, radios are in cars obviously they
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: will always be, but the majority of people are listening
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: on the app, you know, whether they're at home or
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: they're working out in the headphones or a lot of
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: people are just bluetoothing the iHeart app to their radio.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: It does sound clearer, but that's that's definitely the future
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: of radio. And the fact that you know, the company
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: created the iHeartRadio app when they did and kind of
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: saw and predicted that this was gonna come is actually
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: really smart.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: It really is, I mean, And so we're.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Trying to really promote that app listening because I think
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: it's gonna help us keep jobs honestly, not us, like specifically,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: but people in radio. Is the the app listening because
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: you know, the younger kids, man, they don't listen to
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: the radio the old school way. They listen to the
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: radio on the app. And you can really see that
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: when we do these contests, I know people are listening
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: to try to win. But even when we're not, even
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: when we're not giving stuff away, people are leaving talkbacks
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: on the app that are younger. So it's definitely working.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: You know, we're trying to manage. It's a tough it's
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: a tough landscape in the in the in media. You know,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: it really is. It's a tough tough landscape. But we
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: keep showing up, we keep doing our job and entertaining
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: and all that. One more thing I want to share
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: this weekend, I was at home with my wife and
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: I think I shared before about, you know, my dad
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: and he, you know, we have a good relationship, but
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: obviously it's been very constrained in the past, and I
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: had shared about how he kind of told me, you know,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: that he was proud of me for the first time.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: You know, he's a hard time. I know he is,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: but he's a hard time saying it. I mean, my
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: dad's my house every weekend. We have conversations, but he's
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: really it's kind of that old school thing of like
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: showing emotions and so it bothered me, but it was
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: really nice when he finally did tell me that he
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: was proud of me. So this weekend or my wife
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: was telling me that the weekend before she went to
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Great Wolf Lodge with my dad. She took nanny and
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: my dad and she said, I forgot to tell you this.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: There was a it was a Monday morning. I didn't
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: go because it was Sunday and Monday, but there was
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: a Monday morning. They had gotten up and my dad
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: was like listening on his iPad and she said, Oh,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: we're gonna go down to the to the pool, and
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: he goes, oh, can you give me like five minutes.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: They go to commercial in five minutes and she was like,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: what are you talking about? And he's like, oh, the show,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Justin's show they go to they go to commercial in
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: four minutes, and she said, you know it's commercial times.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: He goes, yeah, I listen every day to the whole show.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: I know, you know when they're going to commercial. I
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: know when their segments are coming. And she's like really
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: and he's like yeah, and he goes and they're number one.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Did you know that? Like they're number one, Like my
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: son is number one show in Boston. You know what
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: amazing that is. It was a really special moment for me.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Man, when she told me that, I'm like, wow, you know,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: even though I know he has a hard time telling me,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: I know that he's there and he's listening and he's
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: proud of me. So really cool moment, and I thank
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: my wife for sharing.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: That with me.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: All Right, I'll be back tomorrow. Wednesday, I'm speaking at
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Andover High School. I'll talk more about this. This is
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: actually very cool. I got asked by an old friend
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: of mine who now works there, to come and speak
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: with the kids. I thought it was just a class,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: and then last week he told me it's the entire school.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: But that's okay. It'll be just fine. It's kind of
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: a it's kind of a Q and A type thing.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: He's gonna moderate it, and I'll be up there on
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: stage with him kind of talking about my career and
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: my story, and then they have another speaker after me.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: So that'll be good. That'll be Wednesday, but tomorrow's Tuesday.
