Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: And then there was only one. Hi, everybody, Welcome to
- 0:04Speaker 1: the After Show Podcast. I'm justin no, I do not
- 0:08Speaker 1: have anybody with me today. I'm just jumping on for
- 0:11Speaker 1: a couple of minutes really quickly. Billy's not here, Lisa's
- 0:14Speaker 1: not here, They're all have left the building. It's been
- 0:17Speaker 1: a crazy week. But you know, I just wanted to
- 0:20Speaker 1: share a couple of things about this podcast and about
- 0:23Speaker 1: the future, and about what happened this week, and you
- 0:28Speaker 1: know the reaction from everybody, So as far as the
- 0:30Speaker 1: After Show podcast goes, one thing that I really took
- 0:34Speaker 1: away from all of the madness and all of the
- 0:36Speaker 1: sadness that has gone on with Winnie and her leaving
- 0:40Speaker 1: the show is how many people listen to this podcast.
- 0:44Speaker 1: It's really amazing. I would always joke with Winnie and say, though,
- 0:49Speaker 1: this little podcast that we do every day that is
- 0:52Speaker 1: sometimes five minutes and sometimes thirty minutes, and we don't
- 0:55Speaker 1: put a ton of planning. Actually we don't put any
- 0:57Speaker 1: planning into this podcast has a lot of listeners. And
- 1:02Speaker 1: you know that leaves me torn because one, I'm sad
- 1:05Speaker 1: that Whennie's not here to do it with me anymore,
- 1:08Speaker 1: and two, where do we go from here, that's the question,
- 1:11Speaker 1: you know. And I want to do a podcast every day,
- 1:14Speaker 1: but it's like, you know, getting Billy or Lisa, I
- 1:16Speaker 1: can bring in special guests, and I guess what I
- 1:19Speaker 1: want to know from our listeners, what do you want?
- 1:22Speaker 1: And please don't DM me. We want Winnie back. I know,
- 1:25Speaker 1: I want Winnie back. You know, Winnie is failing at
- 1:29Speaker 1: the most out of anybody, because she was taking off
- 1:32Speaker 1: the show, you know what I mean, Like the changes
- 1:34Speaker 1: were made and people are obviously mad and they're upset,
- 1:37Speaker 1: and she is failing at the most. She does not
- 1:39Speaker 1: have her job and that sucks. I was talking to
- 1:42Speaker 1: her last night and kind of going over everything. She
- 1:45Speaker 1: was explaining how crazy her Instagram is and what she's
- 1:47Speaker 1: been up to, and she's good, she's failing good. Obviously
- 1:50Speaker 1: she's sad, but she's hopeful for the future. And we
- 1:53Speaker 1: were kind of like at one point laughing about all
- 1:55Speaker 1: the outrage and the anger towards everybody on the show,
- 1:59Speaker 1: but mainly me that people are like calling me scumbag
- 2:02Speaker 1: and this and that, and I get I get the anger,
- 2:06Speaker 1: but you have to understand this is what Winnie said.
- 2:08Speaker 1: She's like, they just don't understand how this media game works.
- 2:11Speaker 1: It's like this in radio, it's like this in TV.
- 2:14Speaker 1: It's like this on the news. They just make changes.
- 2:17Speaker 1: And it's not even in this building. It's not even
- 2:19Speaker 1: our boss here. Our boss here was told, hey, you
- 2:22Speaker 1: need to cut this person in this person. You know,
- 2:24Speaker 1: the shows need to get smaller. They hit jam and
- 2:26Speaker 1: they hit kiss, but the out the outrage on Kiss
- 2:29Speaker 1: is understandable. You know, the four of us worked so
- 2:31Speaker 1: well together. We started the show together. You know, obviously
- 2:35Speaker 1: Winnie and I started on The Maddie Show, and then
- 2:37Speaker 1: we kind of joined forces when Maddie retired, and that
- 2:39Speaker 1: was a whole scene that we went through together. And
- 2:42Speaker 1: now here we are, She's taken out the show boom
- 2:45Speaker 1: out of nowhere. So you know, where do we go
- 2:49Speaker 1: from here? Right? And I asked Winnie that too, like
- 2:52Speaker 1: what do we do? And She's like, you'll be fine,
- 2:54Speaker 1: you know, You'll you'll find people to join it. It's
- 2:56Speaker 1: not gonna be the same. And I'm gonna do my best.
- 2:59Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonn to do my best. But I
- 3:01Speaker 1: did say to Winnie last night, I go God forbid,
- 3:04Speaker 1: God forbid. I was joking but I'm a god forbid
- 3:06Speaker 1: you can jump on and defend your boy here from
- 3:09Speaker 1: these comments that are coming in. See I read all
- 3:12Speaker 1: the comments and Tipic, they don't really bother me. I
- 3:14Speaker 1: mentioned the drug addiction thing bothers me. But another thing
- 3:17Speaker 1: that bothers me is that while it's like crazy Lane
- 3:21Speaker 1: sad that Whinnie's gone, you know, we all showed up together,
- 3:25Speaker 1: the four of us, and put together a show every
- 3:27Speaker 1: single day, right, and we did our best to entertain
- 3:31Speaker 1: and to laugh and to have fun and get through
- 3:34Speaker 1: the transition of a maddie a legend retiring. And that's
- 3:37Speaker 1: what we did every day. And you know, now that
- 3:40Speaker 1: Whinnie's not on the show, we're still doing that. We're
- 3:42Speaker 1: still doing the show as best we can. Although it's
- 3:45Speaker 1: different and the people that are boycotting the show I understand,
- 3:48Speaker 1: but there's nothing that we can do. There's nothing that
- 3:51Speaker 1: we can do. Like literally, even when he said it
- 3:53Speaker 1: to me last night, she's like, you guys can't do anything.
- 3:55Speaker 1: When he knows Whennie has been here, when many people
- 3:58Speaker 1: have been let go, She's seen it over and over again.
- 4:00Speaker 1: You just have to move on. And so it's been
- 4:03Speaker 1: tough man. The talkbacks come in and they're like, Yo,
- 4:05Speaker 1: this show sucks. I'm not listening anymore. And it really
- 4:08Speaker 1: like that's the thing that kind of hurts me. It's like, well,
- 4:11Speaker 1: we're still here trying to put a show on. We're
- 4:13Speaker 1: still doing the work that we've been doing, and I
- 4:16Speaker 1: know it is different, but it's just been hard. Man.
- 4:19Speaker 1: It's it's again, it's hard to keep going without her
- 4:22Speaker 1: and to put on this show and to do this
- 4:25Speaker 1: after show. And you know, I get the rage. I
- 4:30Speaker 1: really do, I really do, but it just is what
- 4:32Speaker 1: it is. And today I got some talkbacks kind of
- 4:36Speaker 1: around what I talked about earlier in the week is
- 4:39Speaker 1: people are just kind of finding out and they're gonna
- 4:41Speaker 1: keep just finding out because people are busy and they're
- 4:44Speaker 1: not glued to this show all the time, and so
- 4:46Speaker 1: they're gonna tune in after finding out that when he's gone,
- 4:49Speaker 1: and they're gonna hear us laughing like we're some one big,
- 4:52Speaker 1: happy family, and it's like, it sucks, but the show
- 4:57Speaker 1: has to go on. We are under contract. We have
- 5:00Speaker 1: to understand. It's another thing when he said she goes,
- 5:02Speaker 1: you guys have contracts. We sign a contract where we
- 5:05Speaker 1: have to show up and do our job, and that's
- 5:07Speaker 1: we have a job of entertainment. So with that being said,
- 5:12Speaker 1: I know the show is different. I know we feel
- 5:15Speaker 1: the show is different. To have that young voice, to
- 5:18Speaker 1: have that Winnie voice, that edge, that that person that
- 5:21Speaker 1: jumped in and said whatever the hell was on her mind,
- 5:24Speaker 1: that said what people were listening in their car thinking
- 5:27Speaker 1: when he would say, I can't do that. Billy is
- 5:30Speaker 1: his own person, Lisa's her own everyone had a role
- 5:32Speaker 1: on the show that all went together, and now there's
- 5:35Speaker 1: a missing piece. So we're doing the best we can.
- 5:38Speaker 1: That's all we can say. And if you choose to
- 5:41Speaker 1: not listen to this show anymore, I understand. I'm not
- 5:44Speaker 1: mad about that. I'm a little hurt about it because
- 5:48Speaker 1: you know, we put a lot of work into this show.
- 5:50Speaker 1: We show up every single day. It's a lot of pressure.
- 5:53Speaker 1: It's not easy to do a morning radio show live
- 5:56Speaker 1: every single day for four hours. So you know, to say, well,
- 5:59Speaker 1: fuck you when he's not on the show anymore, fuck
- 6:02Speaker 1: you three, which is basically what it is, it kind
- 6:04Speaker 1: of hurts a little bit, but I understand, I understand.
- 6:08Speaker 1: You know, some of the other comments I've gotten is
- 6:10Speaker 1: that it wasn't addressed on air enough. I understand that
- 6:13Speaker 1: as well. That's a directive that we were told. Okay,
- 6:17Speaker 1: if it were up to us, we would have done
- 6:18Speaker 1: it differently, but that's the way it goes. The same
- 6:22Speaker 1: thing down the hall on jam and the same thing
- 6:23Speaker 1: across the country. Like you're allotted a short time to
- 6:27Speaker 1: explain what happened and then you move on. Is it cold? Yes,
- 6:31Speaker 1: it is one hundred percent cold. I felt that, man,
- 6:34Speaker 1: I felt it. It's been tough, and you know how
- 6:37Speaker 1: hard it is to laugh when you're going through pain,
- 6:39Speaker 1: Like laughing through pain and not feeling good. It's really hard, man.
- 6:45Speaker 1: So I don't know. I didn't want to come out
- 6:47Speaker 1: here and a bitch and complain about hard my life
- 6:49Speaker 1: is because I have a really good life. But I'm
- 6:51Speaker 1: sad about Winnie and we're all sad about Winny and
- 6:53Speaker 1: it sucks. So as far as this after show podcast goes,
- 6:57Speaker 1: I'm gonna do the best that we can. I did
- 6:58Speaker 1: get a comment from yesterday's podcast about producer Riley and
- 7:04Speaker 1: that it was too soon to introduce her on the podcast,
- 7:08Speaker 1: not on the air, you know, and I understood. You know,
- 7:11Speaker 1: the person said, it's like when your parents divorce and
- 7:14Speaker 1: then the mom of the dad is like quickly moving
- 7:16Speaker 1: on to somebody else. I want to be very clear here,
- 7:20Speaker 1: Producer Riley did not replace Winnie. Producer Riley replace part
- 7:25Speaker 1: of Winnie's job. She does not have a microphone on
- 7:28Speaker 1: the show. She is there to run the equipment, to
- 7:30Speaker 1: run the board because I have to be in a
- 7:32Speaker 1: different studio. So she is hard at work. She doesn't
- 7:36Speaker 1: make a lot of money. She's starting right at the bottom.
- 7:38Speaker 1: She was our phone screener slash producer who basically assisted me,
- 7:42Speaker 1: Winnie and I and now she's doing Winnie's job plus
- 7:45Speaker 1: all the other stuff. She doesn't know what's going on.
- 7:48Speaker 1: She's just showing up to work. She's a young girl.
- 7:51Speaker 1: She's twenty five years old. She works with the Bruins
- 7:54Speaker 1: and she works for Kiss Went Away part time. At
- 7:56Speaker 1: both jobs, she's just trying to make it like when
- 7:58Speaker 1: I was at Friendli's right working at the radio station.
- 8:01Speaker 1: She's doing the same exact thing, and so please, I
- 8:04Speaker 1: don't want any hatred towards her. Like literally, she doesn't
- 8:06Speaker 1: even have a microphone. She can't talk and defend herself,
- 8:10Speaker 1: and she's like, what the hell was going on like okay,
- 8:12Speaker 1: and I'm like Riley, like you need to step up
- 8:14Speaker 1: and do this and help me and thank you. And
- 8:17Speaker 1: we're very thankful for Riley for what she does. So
- 8:20Speaker 1: it kind of made me rethink, like do I put
- 8:22Speaker 1: her on the podcast for an episode and get her
- 8:24Speaker 1: take on what it's been like? I don't know, let
- 8:27Speaker 1: me know. Obviously, I'll try to get Billy, I'll try
- 8:29Speaker 1: to get Lisa. Lisa is very busy. She's like the
- 8:32Speaker 1: most overworked person between you know, clients and endorsements and
- 8:35Speaker 1: book clubs. But I'll do the best I can, and
- 8:37Speaker 1: you know, I'll have my guy some power of recovery,
- 8:39Speaker 1: and maybe I'll get Ashley down the hall at gym
- 8:41Speaker 1: and talk about what it's been like for her. That's
- 8:42Speaker 1: actually a good idea to get Ashley and or Santi
- 8:45Speaker 1: down talk about losing far and what that's been like
- 8:48Speaker 1: for them. So going into next week, I'm going to
- 8:50Speaker 1: keep the after show going. Man, this this little dumb
- 8:53Speaker 1: podcast has people that listen and love and care what
- 8:58Speaker 1: we say, and it just it feels good. You know,
- 9:01Speaker 1: I'm hurt and I don't feel that great, but it
- 9:03Speaker 1: feels good that people care about what we have to say.
- 9:05Speaker 1: And yes, this is the more vulnerable place where we
- 9:08Speaker 1: can share the honest stories. And that's what people loved
- 9:11Speaker 1: about it. And they loved Winnie and I together because
- 9:13Speaker 1: we we kind of offset each other. I always joked
- 9:16Speaker 1: that Winnie knew more about me than anybody in my life,
- 9:19Speaker 1: probably more than anybody but my actual wife. She was
- 9:22Speaker 1: like my work wife. So and miss Winnie. We miss Winnie.
- 9:26Speaker 1: We've been talking to her. She's doing just fine. She
- 9:29Speaker 1: posted a rail of when she went to Florida. We
- 9:31Speaker 1: love that she you know, got laid off and then
- 9:33Speaker 1: booked a flight to Florida. She's doing good with her
- 9:36Speaker 1: man the cloth man, and she's gonna be okay. Man,
- 9:39Speaker 1: this is all gonna it's all gonna pass by and
- 9:41Speaker 1: and and the pain will get, you know, less and
- 9:43Speaker 1: less for our listeners and for Winnie and uh and
- 9:46Speaker 1: for us too, you know, as we as we move on.
- 9:48Speaker 1: So that's gonna do it for the after show. Thank
- 9:51Speaker 1: you to everybody for listening. And again, any questions or
- 9:53Speaker 1: comments you can always hit me up. I can't guarantee
- 9:56Speaker 1: I we'll get back to you, but you know I'll
- 9:59Speaker 1: see them. I'll see them, and I love you guys,
- 10:02Speaker 1: and we'll talk next week. Have a great weekend. It's
- 10:05Speaker 1: gonna be nice, the weather's gonna be nice and go able.
- 10:07Speaker 1: My son first playoff game tomorrow in Salem, New Hampshire,
- 10:10Speaker 1: so hopefully they win and keep going in the playoffs.
- 10:13Speaker 1: But anyway, we'll see it. Bye.
