• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What our friends after show podcasts, and we throw my
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: headphones on here. I don't know how I sound still
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: battling this cold. Man. Oh my god, this thing has
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: just got a hold of me. I must have caught
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: it on the plane back from Aruba because it was Saturday.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: We came back Sunday night, went to bed felt okay,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: woke up Monday morning with a little bit of a
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: issue in my throat and it's just gotten kind of
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: worse Tuesday, Wednesday. Today is not as bad as yesterday,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: So I don't know. I can see the light at
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: the end of the tunnel. But cold's aren't fun, man,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: because life goes on right unless I'm crippled. Like when
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: I got sick before Aruba. Remember that when I was out,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, was that was a stomach bog neurovirus. I
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: don't know what that was. But now it's just a
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: basic cold. But my head's all stuffed up. So if
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: you've been listening to the show or the podcast the
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: after show, you can hear it in my voice. So
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: I hope it's not annoying and hard to listen to.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: But the show goes on, my friends, the show goes on.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: But anyway, Yeah, wrapping up the first week from vacation
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: kind of dragging by, to be honest. You know, vacation
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: is just such a high. It's such an important reset.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: You know, it's great to have time off, but it
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: is really important, especially I'm not gonna say especially in
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: my our business, my business. I mean, anything that you do,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: vacation is important to take that reset. You know, if
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: you never take a vacation, you get burned out. And
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: in this particular business, you know, we do a new
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: show every day, with new content every day, and coming
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: up with that content is exhausting a lot of times.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: I mean some days it is easier than others. You know,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: we semi plan the show ahead of time, but most
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: of the time we come in that morning and what's
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: popping is what's popping. You know. We might get topics
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: from Billie's Entertainment Report, from stories that are in the news,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: you know, trending stories, or things that are happening in
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: our own lives. That's how the show is built. So
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: you know, we have a general list of topics that
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: we can cover that are more so generic, but this
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: is a live show that we kind of have to
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: put together and you know. Actually it's this time when
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: we come back from our March vacation. There is a
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: few months without a vacation, so I think it's between
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: March and Memorial Day is the longest time of the
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: year without any time off. And then Memorial Day comes
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: and now now we have Juneteenth, but then we have
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Fourth of July and then the summer of vacation. So
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: this long stretch, I know it because every year, like
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: leading up to a Memorial Day, I'm just waiting for
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: that Monday just to be able to sleep in, get it,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: three day weekend. Maybe you feel the same way. I
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: don't know. But Billy will be taking some time off though.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: He's got some stuff coming up. Uncle Bill. He's going
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: to Paris with his wife and he's going to the
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Azores on a I guess a work trip, right. He
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: has an endorsement with Azors Airlines and they want to
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: send him there. He already went before, I think last
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: year or the year before, so he's going back. So,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: you know, I think you're gonna start seeing a little
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: bit more of that. You know, this is what you
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: get on the after show, A little behind the scenes,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: is you know, Bill taking a little bit of time
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: off here and there, not like crazy, but you know,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: instances like going to Paris with his wife. Typically in
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: the past he wouldn't do that. He's so like work driven.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: But we're like, dude, you've been here forever, Like how
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: many years have you worked here? You know, Like he's
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: not going anywhere yet. We don't want him to go anywhere,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: but we want him to take these these these days off,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: you know, like go enjoy your life, man, take your
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: wife to Paris. You know. The azors thing is from work.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Oh and then he's also his son's going to see
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: his son for a day I think in May too,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: so he'll miss a day or two for that as well.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: So these are kind of behind the scenes stuff meetings
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: that we've been having. And that's the basic thing with it.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: It's like, dude, we get it. You're the hardest worker
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: we've ever met. Like this dude shows up to work
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: no matter what. You know, it takes a lot for
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: him to miss work. And I just think at this time,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: like we're good. You know, whether it's it's just Lisa
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: and I and producer Riley, or if we have Mikey
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: jump in or Gianna or both or whatever. You know,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: we can fill it. You know, it's not a big
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: deal to miss a day or two here or there.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: It's not a big deal, you know. I know Bill
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: gets like all crazy. He's just so dedicated. It really
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: is inspiring. But you know, what he has shown me
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: is that, especially in this line of work, it sucks
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: getting up early. But I don't know if I'm going
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: to retire when I'm sixty five. I mean, you can't
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: predict the future, but I don't know. I think working
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: is the answer, I really do, even if it's less.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: You know, if you're working a job where you go
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: from full time to part time, I just feel like
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: retirement always sounds good, and not having to work always
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: sounds good. But there is an importance to staying busy
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: and staying in a routine. You know, I am routine based,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: so I do think that is important. But you don't
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: know what the future holds. Man, life is so short,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: it really is. I have a really, really, really good
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: friend of mine that is battling cancer right now. Like
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: so many people. You know, he's my aide, wh he's
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: only a year older than me. He has colorectal cancer.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: The diagnosis came last year around this time. Actually, he
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: had some symptoms going on. He went to the doctor,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: he got a colonoscopy, and sure enough, he had a
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: cancerous tumor inside of him. So he started chemo in September.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: And I'm learning all this. I mean, I'm not really
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: up on cancer, but I am learning that. You know,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: they kind of throw different things at you, you know, chemo,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: radiation to see what works and what doesn't. So they
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: did chemo from I think September to December, which was
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: really rough for him, and it didn't work. You know,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: it didn't work. So now they're doing radiation and it
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: seems to be doing better. It seems to be shrinking
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: the tumor inside of him. The chemo, I get, I
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: think stopped it from growing, but did not shrink it.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: So now he is doing radiation. He's about to wrap
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: that up and then he's gonna go in for surgery
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: and I think got another surgery, more radiation. I mean,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: this thing is like, it's crazy, man. So you know,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: I've been talking to him trying to like, you know,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: just be supportive. You know, he's so young, you know,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: and it really just makes you think about your own
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: life that you could just never know. You know, when
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: they say live your life, you know, do the things
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: you want to do. There there's a lot of meaning
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: to that, there, really is. So yeah, I hate to
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: bring on a heavy subject like that, but I had
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: just talked to him the other day and you know,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: something really cool is not cool, but you know, he
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: had to leave work, right, Like, he had a pretty
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: big job in the union and he's a boss, like
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: he was running shit and he tried to hold on
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: as lung as he could, but you know, between all
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: the doctor's appointments and the sickness and the chemo radiation,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: it was just too much. So he had to take
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: a break from work. And now he's not working, and
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: so his family, against his wishes, not against his wishes,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: but you know, he's a lot of pride started to
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: gofund me for him and it raised a ton of money.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: But the really, really cool purpose the money that's raised
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: for him is the local that he's in. It's I'm
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: not gonna say what the local is, but it's like
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: three numbers, right, you know, the locals are in the Union.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: And if you go on the go fundme and you
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: read all of the donations. There is so many, like
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: over a thousand that are the same amount as the local, right,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like they donated all his
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: brothers from the union all just jumped in and they
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: donated that amount, you know, to represent their union. It
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: just was like when I saw that, you know, because
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: obviously I'm made a donation because it's like a really
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: good friend of mine. But I've read all the on
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: the go fundme, all the donations, like I started crying. Man.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: It really goes to show you, like how much people
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: can can band together and help a brother out or
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: a sister or whatever. So I'm praying for him. I
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: believe he's gonna pull through. He's feeling good about it.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: He's gonna have some more scans in April, and I
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: guess they can do a blood test where they can
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: kind of see how it's working and it is looking good,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: but he won't know until the imaging comes in April.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: So shout out to my brother. I love you so much.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: He doesn't listen to this podcast, but yeah, man, life
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: is short. All the dumb things that bother us, really,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: how much do they matter? You know? I have this
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: conversation with my son all the time. He's nine years old.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: It's really how to tell a nine year old this
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: because they just don't get it. I didn't either, but
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, when he's in school or with
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: his friends and he has this issue with this person
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: and it seems like such a big deal, seems like
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: like life is over, and I'm like, dude, it's not
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: even gonna matter in a month. It's not gonna matter
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: in six months. And I don't say that say it
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: like that to him, but I kind of allude to
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: it in a way that I think a nine year
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: old could understand it. That's all I'm saying. So anyway,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: one more day and then the weekend. I'm looking forward
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: to it. It's been a long week back, especially with
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: this cold man. It sucks. But keep the talk backs coming.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: I'd love to hear from you guys the after show
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Army and tomorrow Friday, We'll talk. Aye. Bye,
